A Birthday Girl or: She What Birthed Me
Posted by TGBII in Life as We Know It
Birthday, mother
Mom with her favorite Santa (and her favorite child)
Salutations™!!
Today is my mother's birthday. She doesn't like a big deal made over her and hates pictures of her. So, I made sure to post one. Happy Birthday or Happy Solar Circumnavigational Anniversary Day to Ma Mère, the best mom in the world.
Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!

The Next Day or: Still Going Strong
Birthday, Friends, friendship, Life, Life as It is
Yesterday was my big birthday. Today was the big celebration. We had The Beer Dads Family (the Joneses, the Lowders) and our extended friends family (The Davids, Our Jim Young) come over around 2pm. We set up a fire pit in our yard, our Alexa Dot, a Bluetooth speaker and had a fantastic time day drinking before The Beer Dads went to Mojito to have some delicious Cuban-inspired Latin Soul Food.
My friends know how much I love alcohol, too. The Davids brought me a Crown Royal set with glasses. The Joneses brought two bombers of high-gravity brews. Jim brought me Templeton Rye. The Lowders brought me Ragged Branch Double Oaked Whiskey, which was part of Jon's barrel that he went in with friends to invest in. I love it!
Birthday Fire (©S Jones)
We had a great time sitting around the fire, listening to Simply Sinatra and Yacht Rock Radio on SiriusXM and just talking and having a time. We all smelled like a campfire afterward and were a little tipsy but we did alright. The BCPF was the most inebriated and that's okay! You go girl! I forgot to mention yesterday that we stopped by Top Leaf Cigar Lounge and one of my work wives, Bethany of The Less Desirables (and owner of Top Leaf) bought me two cigars. I had about 2/3 of one last night with my Ardbeg Scotch and the Ragged Branch.
I've had big parties and I've had small gatherings but I can't tell you how much I enjoyed having everyone around celebrating with me. We missed the Verners, Bethany and my sister and BIL but we'll make it up with them all soon!
Again, BEST! BIRTHDAY! EVER!
"Let us never know what old age is. Let us know the happiness time brings, not count the years." – Ausonius
The Big One or: Five. Oh!
Birthday, Carrabba's Italian Grill, The BCPF, Underdog Records
Salutations™!!
So, here we are. Fifty. Five. Oh. 5. 0. 49+1 and all that. On this day, at 636a 50 years ago, I was unleashed on the world. Half a century old, I am. Wow.
I am happy. I am healthy (as far as I know). I am in love with beautiful woman. I have an amazing son who is doing amazing things. I have fantastic friends. I have a wonderful family. Fifty is indeed nifty.
You can go back and search on this date throughout the years of me doing this blog (at least back to November 1, 2014) and read other things I've written about my birthday.
Me and my honey, not on my birthday but a few weeks back.
Since you already know that I'm back dating these, I will say that it was a fantastic day. We got up, I checked my restaurant list, had my TBD meeting, went to BLL Rotisserie Factory with The BCPF and Ma Mère, and Simone, the owner bought our lunch. We then went to Underdog Records and The BCPF had filled my credit up there so we bought some records. The BCPF took me to the ABC store and bought me some Ardbeg Scotch. We came home, listened to some records. We had dinner at Carrabba's where my good friend Daniel bought our dinner. We came home, watched Will & Grace and I knocked out. All that… BEST! BIRTHDAY! EVER!!!
I didn't worry about turning 50 like I did 35. In fact, I feel better about everything right now. See the second paragraph above. All those things still are true. Amazing time. COVID-19 sucks. It kept us from our original plan of The Beer Dads family going to Quebec City, Montreal and New York City for my 50th. And while that would have been off the charts, this was still an amazing birthday. And it goes on for tomorrow's post. So, I'll see you then!
Birthday Boy out!

50, Age, Birthday, Time
Today marks 30 days for me to say I'm in my 40s. One month away, I will be officially an "old man." Yeah, yeah, yeah, 50 is the new 40 and all that. Whatever. I'm not complaining about getting old(er). It is much better than the alternative.
So, here we are at 31. Tick-tock old man… tick-tock.
That's all today.

Another Trip or: A Sister Is…
Birthday, Sister
Growing up, I thought my sister was annoying. I thought my sister was a pest. My sister was one of my biggest fans. She still is all of those things, and I couldn't have a better one. Today my sister turns (cough cough cough) and I want to wish her a happiest of happy solar circumnavigational anniversary days! I love you, sis!
I'll do the Spinning Sunday Monday tomorrow.
A Very Demonic Birthday or: Lighting His Own Candles
Posted by TGBII in KISS, Life as We Know It, Video
Birthday, Gene Simmons, Life
I want to wish a very happy birthday to my favorite demon, one of my musical heroes, the reason why I am a musician, the reason I play bass, and the reason I worry so much about putting on a "show." That demon is Gene Simmons who turns 71 years young and still gets up in those heavy demon boots, puts on the armor and, gives audiences the show of their lives. I wonder if he spits fire to light his own candles for the cake?
"I think I know it all, relatively speaking." – Gene Simmons
Now Normal Chronicles or: A Day Late
Yesterday, I was slammed with a lot of stuff and I did the video when I should have written a post about my nephew's birthday. I didn't forget about the birthday because I actually saw and talked to him and even gave him a birthday hug. I just forgot to post about it.
It was a big one, maybe the biggest, certainly the biggest in his lifetime. It was the 21st birthday. So, you see, the biggest. I mean after 21, what do you have to look forward to? Retirement? Who gets to do that anymore?
He's been through a lot in his life — good, bad, indifferent. He lived in California for about 3 minutes, he came back. He worked for a pizza place. He has aspirations. I don't really even know what most of them are. It doesn't matter what they are, I'll just do what I can to support him in his efforts.
Happy solar circumnavigational anniversary day, Cory.

The Legality of It All or: 'The Boy' Who Became a Man
3B, Birthday
Today, at 242p, my "itty bitty boy," 3B, will be 18 years old. Technically, no longer a "boy" and now a man.
Here's my post from a year ago with some edits to fit the current situation.
I remember getting up at 4am 18 years ago and getting his mother and myself ready to relieve her discomfort and welcome our child into this world. He didn't want to come out, either.
We were there by 530a and got settled in. The doctor came in and they started the "induction" process. When he did that, her "water" burst and we went through all the towels, sheets and pillowcases in the birthing room. Seriously, it was like someone turned on a water hose and left it laying in the yard. It wouldn't stop coming.
The baby, however, did stop coming. He didn't want to leave the comfort of the womb. In fact, he went backward. Instead of coming down toward the birth canal (yeah, I hate that term, too), he went further up in the womb. On top of that, as they had started inducing the birth, contractions had already started. But, the baby's heart rate started going down each time a contraction happened. We started to get worried. The doctor, Doctor V as we called him, seemed only moderately concerned. He waited around for a bit and then went and did some "rounds." It was like we had cut off the baby's jacuzzi and he was mad!
We stared at the heart monitor and sure enough, every time a contraction happened, the heart rate diminished. The nurses came in and checked. My mother and her mother kept us company, but it really didn't help much. Dr. V called a few times and around noon — remember we had been in this holding pattern since around 6a — he told us that he thinks it would be best to have a Caesarean Section since this heart rate issue was starting to concern him, too. We spent around two minutes weighing the pros and very few cons. We told Dr. V that the C-Section was a go.
We rolled into the operating room around 230p and they had her split open and the doctor and nurse were tugging hard and pulling her apart. I sat down by her head and she was numb but mostly lucid. She was being jostled and wanted to know what was going on. I sat up straight and realized that I was over the curtain divider. I could see everything that was going on. I told her I was going to watch. I have a hard time with blood and entrails and things but this was different. I watched as they pulled my child into the world. I had a camera and was taking pictures of this happening. The first thing I took a picture of? His scrotum. I had a son and dang it! I was excited!
We named him after my father (which is who I'm named after) and set on watching him grow. And grow he has.
He's a very intelligent kid, almost a genius, but he won't use and seems to plan to use that power for good. Like many his age, he's content with putting his nose in a phone or computer and whiling away his life. Well, he finally found something that he's into and luckily is very good at, cooking. He's in the culinary program in the local trade school and we have a few plans for him once now that he's out of school.
He had a job. Before the Covipocalypse happened. It's not often that our first job is actually in the field we want to pursue, right? He was working in a restaurant and as far as I can tell, he was doing great there. I know the owner, the GM and the chef and they were happy with what he was doing.
The pandemic happened and all but robbed him of his senior year. The first semester was good and he did the state cooking competition (he led his team to a silver medal). But, afterward, he lost his prom, finishing the culinary program, and the graduation ceremony and all other things that seniors do and look forward to.
We believe that the next step will be doing the Providence Culinary Training program at Providence Restaurant and will continue to hone his skills. There are a few restaurants that have shown interest in helping him advance his career. He has told me that he wants to get some experience and then possibly explore other places around the country or world to get more of that knowledge. I support his decision as such.
He has grown into a fine young man and I love this "boy" with all my heart. 18, 5'11"-6′ and into food, video games and his girlfriend. He's smart, asks a lot of questions, loves football, and is all-around a great kid. I got lucky, really. I had lunch with him yesterday and we had, and have been having good conversations.
So, happy birthday, son. I love you and cannot wait to see the impact you make on the world.

One of My Favorites or: That Woman of Mine
Aaron Eckhart, Agatha von Trappe, Al Jarreau, Barbara Feldon, Birthday, Chris Sanders, Christinia Grimmie, Courtney B. Vance, Dale Murphy, Daryl Strawberry, David Nadien, Dean Cundey, Edward Albee, Elaine de Kooning, Frank Welker, Gordon MacRae, Harry Harrison, Holly Williams, Jack Kerouac, Jake Tapper, James Taylor, Jason Beghe, John Andretti, John Clellon Holmes, Leonard Chess, Liza Minnelli, Mae Young, March 12, Marlon Jackson, Millard Kaufman, Mitt Romney, Myrna Fahey, Pete Doherty, Rita Angus, Rob Cohen, Sam Levine, Steve Finley, Steven Harris, The BCPF, Titus Welliver, Virginia Hamilton
Today is The BCPF's birthday. The woman that keeps me alive. The woman that keeps me sane. The woman that keeps me. My honey. My baby. My lady. My woman. My Cinnamon Toast Crunch. My rock. My best girl. My everything.
My birthday girl!
Even in my (in)famous verbosity, I can't come up with enough things to say about this beautiful woman. I can thank her parents for being the artists they were and creating such a perfect piece of art. She is everything I could ever want in a wife and a life partner. I don't deserve her. I really don't. But, I feel lucky every day about how I've somehow won this lottery.
I know there's a lot of mushy-mushy in that, but it's all 100% true and heartfelt.
I know that she likes to know this stuff and is probably well-aware of the info I'm about to give, but for those of you who are just reading this and have waded through the sickening PDA above, you may find it interesting who she shares a birthday with.
Rita Angus, a famous New Zealand painter.

Mae Young, a bad-arsed pioneer in women's wrestling. She was still taking hard bumps, off of stages through tables, well into her 70s/early 80s.
Harry Harrison, an American science fiction author, known for his character The Stainless Steel Rat and for his novel Make Room! Make Room! which was the rough basis for the motion picture Soylent Green, which I made The BCPF and her mother watch while they were attending to me during my recovery from surgery. She's never forgiven me for that and I keep rubbing salt in that would.
John Clellon Holmes, an American author, poet and professor, best known for his 1952 novel Go. Considered the first "Beat" novel, Go depicted events in his life with his friends Jack Kerouac (whom he shared a birthday), Neal Cassady and Allen Ginsberg.

Frank Welker, American actor and voice actor. One of my favorite voices, ever. He is best known for voicing Scooby-Doo and Fred Jones from the Scooby-Doo franchise, Megatron and Soundwave in the Transformers animated cartoons and countless voices for Disney and other animators.
Mitt Romney. She's probably not too happy about this one.
James Taylor, singer-songwriter and guitarist. She is happy about this one.
Rob Cohen, American director, producer, and screenwriter of film and television.
Steve Harris, English musician, bassist, keyboardist, backing vocalist, primary songwriter and founder of the band Iron Maiden.
Dale Murphy, played for the Atlanta Braves.
Marlon Jackson, entertainer, singer, and dancer. Jackson was a member of the Jackson 5, and is the sixth child of the Jackson family.

Book XXIII
PENELOPE COMES DOWN TO SEE ULYSSES, AND BEING AT LAST CONVINCED THAT HE IS HER HUSBAND, RETIRES WITH HIM TO THEIR OWN OLD ROOM—IN THE MORNING ULYSSES, TELEMACHUS, PHILŒTIUS, AND EUMÆUS GO TO THE HOUSE OF LAERTES.
Euryclea now went upstairs and told Penelope what had happened. "Wake up, my dear child," said she, "Ulysses is come home at last and has killed the suitors who were giving so much trouble in the house, eating up his estate and ill-treating his son."
10 "My good nurse," answered Penelope, "you must be mad. The gods sometimes send very sensible people out of their minds, and make foolish people sensible. This is what they must have been doing to you. Moreover, you have waked me from the soundest sleep that I have enjoyed since my husband left me. Go back into the women's room; if it had been any one but you, I should have given her a severe scolding."
25 Euryclea still maintained that what she had said was true, and in answer to Penelope's further questions told her as much as she knew about the killing of the suitors. "When I came down," she said, "I found Ulysses standing over the corpses; you would have enjoyed it, if you had seen him all bespattered with blood and filth, and looking just like a lion. But the corpses are now piled up in the gatehouse, and he has sent me to bring you to him."
Penelope said that it could not be Ulysses, but must be 58 some god who had resolved to punish the suitors for their great wickedness. Then Euryclea told her about the scar.
"My dear nurse," answered Penelope, "however wise you 80 may be, you can hardly fathom the counsels of the gods. Still I will go and find my son that I may see the corpses of the suitors, and the man who has killed them."
On this she came down into the cloister and took her seat 85 opposite Ulysses, in the fire-light, by the wall at right angles to that by which she had entered, while her husband sat by one of the bearing-posts of the cloister, looking down and waiting to hear what she would say. For a long time she sat as one lost in amazement and said nothing, till Telemachus upbraided her for her coldness. "Your heart," he said, "was always hard as a stone."
"My son," said his mother, "I am stupefied; nevertheless 104 if this man is really Ulysses, I shall find it out; for there are tokens which we two alone know of."
Ulysses smiled at this, and said to Telemachus, "Let your 111 mother prove me as she will, she will make up her mind about it presently. Meanwhile let us think what we shall do, for we have been killing all the picked youth of Ithaca."
"We will do," answered Telemachus, "whatever you may 123 think best."
"Then," said Ulysses, "wash, and put your shirts on. Bid 129 the maids also go to their own room and dress. Phemius shall strike up a dance tune, so that any who are passing in the street may think there is a wedding in the house, and we can get away into the woods before the death of the suitors is noised abroad. Once there, we will do as heaven shall direct."
They did as he had said. The house echoed with the sound of 141 men and women dancing, and the people outside said, "So the queen has been getting married at last. She ought to be ashamed of herself, for not staying to protect her husband's property."
Eurynome washed and anointed Ulysses; Minerva also 152 beautified him, making the hair grow thick on the top of his head and flow down in hyacinthine curls. He came from the
bath looking like an immortal god, and sat down opposite his wife. Finding, however, that he could not move her, he said to Euryclea, "Nurse, get a bed ready for me. I will sleep alone, for this woman has a heart as hard as iron."
173 "My dear," said Penelope, "I have no wish to set myself up, nor to depreciate you, but I am not struck by your appearance, for I well remember what kind of a man you were when you left Ithaca. Nevertheless, Euryclea, take his bed out of the room he built for it, and make it ready for him."
185 Ulysses knew that the bed could not be moved without cutting down the stem of a growing olive tree on the stump of which he had built it. He was very angry, and desired to know who had ventured on doing this, at the same time describing the bed fully to Penelope.
205 Then Penelope was convinced that he really was Ulysses, and fairly broke down. She flung her arms about his neck, and said she had only held aloof so long because she had been shuddering at the bare thought of any one deceiving her. Ulysses in his turn melted and embraced her, and they would have gone on indulging their sorrow till morning came, had not Minerva miraculously prolonged the night.
247 Ulysses then began to tell her of the voyages which Tiresias had told him he must now undertake, but soon broke off by saying that they had better go to bed. To which Penelope rejoined that as she should certainly have to be told about it sooner or later, she had perhaps better hear it at once.
263 Thus pressed Ulysses told her. "In the end," said he, "Tiresias told me that death should come to me from the sea. He said my life should ebb away very gently when I was full of years and peace of mind, and that my people should bless me."
288 Meanwhile Eurynome and Euryclea made the room ready, *
and Euryclea went inside the house, leaving Eurynome to light Penelope and Ulysses to their bed-room. Telemachus, Philœtius, and Eumæus now left off dancing, and made the women leave off also. Then they laid themselves down to sleep in the cloisters.
When they were in bed together, Penelope told Ulysses how 300 much she had had to bear in seeing the house filled with wicked suitors who had killed so many oxen and sheep on her account, and had drunk so many casks of wine. Ulysses in his turn told her the whole story of his adventures, touching 350 briefly upon every point, and detailing not only his own sufferings but those he had inflicted upon other people. She was delighted to listen, and never went to sleep till he ended his story and dropped off into a profound slumber.
When Minerva thought that Ulysses had slept long enough 344 she permitted Dawn to rise from the waters of Oceanus, and Ulysses got up. "Wife," said he to Penelope, "now that we have at last come together again, take care of the property that is in my house. As for the sheep and goats that the wicked suitors have eaten, I will take many by force from other people, and will compel the men of the place to make good the rest. I will now go out to my father's house in the country. At sunrise it will get noised about that I have been killing the suitors. Go upstairs, therefore, and stay there with your waiting women. See nobody, and ask no questions."
As he spoke he girded on his armour; he roused the others 366 also and bade them arm. He then undid the gate, and they all sallied forth. It was now daylight, but Minerva enshrouded them in darkness, and led them quickly out of the town.
98:* This room was apparently not within the body of the house. It was certainly on the ground floor, for the bed was fixed on the stump of a tree; I strongly suspect it to be the vaulted room, round the outside of which the bodies of the guilty maids were still hanging, and I also suspect it was in order to thus festoon the room that Telemachus hanged the women instead of stabbing them, but this is treading on that perilous kind of speculation which I so strongly deprecate in others. If it were not for the gruesome horror of the dance, in lines 129–151, I should not have entertained it.

8 days in... and I'm realising my photos are crap as often as they're okay. That's going to be my goal - get better, more inpsiring pictures! I think (well, hope!) I'm going to learn a lot about how to get the most out of my camera in the process.
And that's the end of week 1.
Week two begins with an unusual visitor to the bird feeder! Photo taken from a distance of about three feet through the open bathroom window. No flash and a bit of a grey day, and my camera was struggling with the focus a little. Bonus bluetit action in the background, but I didn't have any good shots with both birds in it.
Don't sell yourself short -- these are nice. One of the joys of digital is that it doesn't cost anything to take lots of pictures and pick out the best ones. I usually leave my camera set on continuous fire which is four frames a second. Slow enough to take one frame if I want but ready to take multiples in certain situations. Looking forward to more.
I like your set so far, some cute kid pictures and interesting objects/abstracts. I especially like the tree shot, the way the movement causes the dim lights to form what looks like netting.
I like your pics too, the variety is a bonus, not a drain on creativity.
I love the abstractness of the closeup view, but the reflectivity (or perhaps the specific angle of reflection) isn't as good as it could be.
I'll be honest - this was in a rush with failing batteries before bedtime!
Well, a rush with a nice result. Hmm, maybe you work best under pressure?
10, 11, 12: A View from Above, Another View from Above, and The City Writ Small.
Bit of a construction theme for yesterday and today. Had fantastic light on the way to the playground and chemist yesterday! Do I need to work on my verticals though?
Great new additions! The construction silhouette is fantastic, and a very interesting pairing between it and Matthew.
Yeah, I knew I was going to get a good shot out of that as soon as we walked down the road.
The crane silhouette shot is great, the bottom left part a shot in itself. I love the workmen silhouettes!
Got a bit behind with posting (and snapping) while Matt's been ill.
Last one is Matt on the nebuliser - he got a stinking cold with a fever, and the asthma/bronchitis flared right up. Six doctors visits and two trips to the ER at the children's hospital, and we're finally getting back on our feet again. He's pretty good at holding the mask properly in place, although mostly we do it with me holding it while he's sat on my lap. Only another five days to go... assuming he doesn't get ill again. Hopefully not - the salbutamol makes him manic.
Other shots in this post are Daniel-in-a-box, Matt's trains, and the chimney over the road towards sunset.
22: Milestones! Daniel learned how to pull himself up for the first time right then and there.
25: Winter Sunflower - a frosty start this morning!
A lot of cute kid pics (I see Daniel has dragons on his pajamas!), and some lovely non-kid ones too. I especially like the new silhouette and the train set pictures. And the tunnel shot (I can never get my focus right on those!) and Matthew's thoughtful look while using the nebulizer.

The hot tub is emptied and cleaned before every arrival. Please be aware that due to the time it takes for the water to reach temperature it may not be ready to use on arrival.
We all had a lovely relaxing new year break the lodge is beautiful, clean and is well equipped with everything you need .
Would stay again, had a nice relaxing break. Lots of lovely places to visit and things to do. the hot tub was a hit with the whole of my group.
The property was great and the owner was helpful and delightful. The small touches made a huge difference.
We had a lovely dinner at the White Hart Inn at Bishops Caundle - the food was great and the service was excellent - we would highly recommend it.
Sherborne is a lovely town to visit and shop - quaint, historic and lovely.
The local supermarket is a complete gem - Dike and Sons, - anything you need during your stay can be found here... including a cafe that serves wonderful hot chocolate!

Biografia
Va néixer el 18 de maig de 1937 al poblet luxemgurguès de Wasserbilling. Estudià Dret i Economia a la Universitat de París. Entre 1984 i 1989 fou membre del Banc Mundial, i entre 1991 i 1994 governador del Fons Monetari Internacional.

L'any 1998 fou guardonat amb el Premi Príncep d'Astúries de Ciències Socials, al costat del també luxemburguès Pierre Werner.

Activitat política
A partir de 1962 desenvolupà càrrecs ministerials al si del Partit Popular Social Cristià, entrant a formar part del Ministeri de Seguretat Social. Va esdevenir líder del partit l'any 1979, any en el qual va esdevenir Ministre de Finances fins al 1989, primer sota la presidència de Pierre Werner i a partir de 1984 sota la seva pròpia presidència, ja que el 1984 guanyà les eleccions a Primer Ministre de Luxemburg.

Aquell any la Comissió presidida per Jacques Santer hagué de dimitir com a conseqüència de presumptes trames de corrupció que van afectar els seus comissaris, sent substituït per una comissió presidida interinament per Manuel Marín.

Entre 1999 i 2004 Santer fou novament membre del Parlament Europeu.

Q: uploadify progress bar only updates two times? I am using uploadify in a project and I threw a console.log statement in my onProgress callback...  It seems to only be executed when starting the upload, and when completing the upload.  Even with a very large file upload, that is the behavior I get.
The progress bar is based off of Flash sending data, not off of the server-side reporting back what it's received..  So I am a bit confused as to why this isn't working...
The actionscript is doing:
file.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, fileProgressHandler);

and so I did a simple experiment by putting in the fileProgressHandler method:
ExternalInterface.call('console.log("percentage: ' + percentage + ' - startTimer: ' + startTimer + ' - getTimer: ' + getTimer() + '")');

and when uploading I file, I see immediately:
50%
100%
and then a big long pause while the file is uploading...  Then onAllComplete gets hit....  So, it's apparent that the actual upload progress is inaccurate, and I am very curious as to why.  Does anyone have any ideas?
I am wondering if this is somehow related to me running my app in development mode on localhost, and if it were hosted on a real server if the result would be different..  But I have no way of knowing that.
-patrick

A:
But I have no way of knowing that.

You do actually.
This most-likely sounds like an issue with it being on localhost.
Get your stuff off localhost and onto a server.
Download and install FireFox
Install flash player debug for FireFox
There should be a Flash console tab you will probably have to enable it
You can look at your trace statements in the log file.

Second Reconstruction Descends Upon American South As Northern Bloodlust Endures
By: L.C. McKinney, Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV)
There are no better words to describe what is currently happening to the South, its people, and its heritage then this June 19th quote by the former New York Times and Detroit Free Press reporter Joe Lapointe, who in his editorial titled It's Time to Burn the Confederate Flag plainly stated: "Although the Confederate states lost, they were never punished enough…"
To how anyone today, especially a reporter, can be so ignorant of not only the South, but our Nation's history too, especially 150 years after the ending of Civil War, is nearly beyond comprehension.
Sadly though, and as evidenced by the now daily assaults against Southern Heritage, the view point of Mr. Lapointe, and others like him, have gained the ascendency in our national discourse, in spite of the overwhelming evidence that not only was the South defeated in the Civil War, it was left in complete and total ruin…and if that wasn't "punishment" then this word needs another definition.
One of the best examples one can read of this cataclysmic defeat was written in 2009 by the prestigious American historian, and current President of Harvard University, Catharine Drew Gilpin Faust, who in her book titled This Republic of Suffering: Death and the American Civil War wrote: "If you extrapolated Southern losses into our current American population, the war would cost the lives of a staggering 9 million men, with at least an equivalent number injured."
One of the main causes leading to this staggering loss of life, and as every Southern knows all too well, was a new to then modern times war tactic labeled "total war."
Total war is defined as warfare that includes any and all civilian-associated resources and infrastructure as legitimate military targets, and justifies using weapons and tactics that result in significant civilian or other non-combatant casualties and was authorized to be used against the South in 1864 by President Abraham Lincoln and was militarily designated in two parts, The Atlanta Campaign and Sherman's March to the Sea.
There were two main reasons for these particular campaigns. The first was strategic. At the time, Atlanta was a major rail center and by capturing it, the Union would be able to cut off nearly all of the rail lines supplying the south.
The second reason was political. The 1864 presidential election was coming around and it did not appear that President Lincoln would have a second term. His opponent was General George B. McClellan whom Lincoln had discharged as a general of the Union army. General McClellan ran on peace platform with the idea that if he won, the Civil War would be over.
The support of the war was minimal to nonexistent at that point in the North, but by General Sherman capturing Atlanta, the support for Lincoln increased in the North. And when the capture of Atlanta was successful, it was crucial because it practically insured the reelection of Lincoln and increased the support of the war among northerners.
Both General Grant and President Lincoln were very nervous and on-the-fence about General Sherman's "final solution" plan for the South, but eventually, General Grant's trust and friendship with Sherman prevailed and his idea was approved by President Lincoln.
Sherman's March to the Sea was absolutely devastating to Georgia and the Confederacy. General Sherman himself estimated that the campaign inflicted $100 million (about $3.8 billion in 2015 dollars) in destruction, about one fifth of which "inured to our advantage" while the "remainder is simple waste and destruction."
General Sherman's Army, in total, wrecked 300 miles of railroad and numerous bridges and miles of telegraph lines. It seized 5,000 horses, 4,000 mules, and 13,000 head of cattle. It confiscated 9.5 million pounds of corn and 10.5 million pounds of fodder, and destroyed uncounted cotton gins and mills.
Even in today's world, Victor Hanson, a visiting professor at the U.S. Naval Academy, defends and makes excuses for President Lincoln's intentional waging of total war on Southern civilians that included General Sherman's bombing, pillaging and plundering of our cities and towns, the burning of our homes, total destruction of farms and livestock, gang rape, and the killing of thousands, including women and children of all races.
Not just the South would face the wrath of General Sherman's total war tactics either, as immediately after the Civil War he singlehandedly lead a 25-year genocidal campaign against the Native peoples of America he, likewise, called a "final solution" to the "Indian problem."
And 75 years later, one of General Sherman's greatest admirers, Adolph Hitler, initiated his own "total war" tactics against the world and devised his own "final solution" for the Jewish peoples of Europe.
General Sherman himself, as history well documents, most certainly did not believe that "each man is as good as another." For example, in 1862, General Sherman was bothered that "the country" was "swarming with dishonest Jews." He then got his close friend, General Grant, to expel all Jews from his army.
As the late historian Michal Fellman wrote in his definitive biography, Citizen Sherman:: A Life of William Tecumseh Sherman: "On December 17, 1862, Grant…, like a medieval monarch . . . expelled the Jews, as a class from his department."
Fellman further wrote, and extensively documented, that to General Sherman, the Jews were "like niggers" and "like greasers (Mexicans) or Indians" in that they were "classes or races permanently inferior to his own."
So enamored was Hitler of General Sherman and his "total war" tactics, and his "final solution" to these "inferior races", history well records, Lia Mandelbaum, writer for the Jewish Journal, in her article Hitler's Inspiration and Guide: The Native American Holocaust writes:
"Hitler's concept of concentration camps as well as the practicality of genocide owed much, so he claimed, to his studies of English and United States history. He admired the camps for Boer prisoners in South Africa and for the Indians in the Wild West; and often praised to his inner circle the efficiency of America's extermination—by starvation and uneven combat—of the red savages who could not be tamed by captivity.
He was very interested in the way the Indian population had rapidly declined due to epidemics and starvation when the United States government forced them to live on the reservations. He thought the American government's forced migrations of the Indians over great distances to barren reservation land was a deliberate policy of extermination."
So remember, the "final solution" and "total war" tactics General Sherman perfected against the Native peoples of America, and which Hitler emulated 75 years later, were first unleashed against the South!
Even when the Civil War ended…the occupation of the South by the Union forces under General Sherman and General Grant did not stop the horror our ancestors suffered…after all, they were considered by our conquerors to be nothing more than an "inferior race" worthy only for exploitation and extermination.
Mass revenge executions of our defeated soldiers, mass rape and wanton murder of our women, constant destruction of our crops that led to mass starvation, all of these atrocities, and more, were what the South endured during what is now called the Reconstruction Period that lasted from 1865 to 1877.
And making this already horrific situation even more intolerable were Union army orders forbidding the vast majority of competent lawmakers to hold office. Instead, these Union forces forced to be elected thousands of basically uneducated former slaves to rule over their former "masters", and the chaos this caused to Southern society was incalculable.
So it was no wonder that when Reconstruction ended, and in having to deal with a Southern society that had endured "total war", genocide and more humiliations than any peoples should have had to endure for 12 long years (1865-1877), the South began a process of enacting "by law" ("de jure") segregation polices.
But what the South was doing by creating a "de jure" segregationist society was nothing more than codifying into statutes exactly what the North had already been doing with their informal ("de facto") segregationist polices since this country was founded.
Even after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 effectively abolished the South's "de jure" segregationist laws, even to this very day, the North's "de facto" segregationist polices remain firmly entrenched.
From housing to jobs, to education and more, the North's "de facto" segregationist polices have done more to destroy African American peoples in the past 150 years, since the ending of the Civil War, than anything the South ever did…before or since.
After all, due to the Civil War, and the Reconstruction Period that followed, the defeated Southern States have remained to this day a mainly agrarian society whose majority populations are comprised of poor blacks and whites alike. What little industry the South did manage to build in the years following World War II were then subsequently destroyed by NAFTA and other such trade treaties enacted during these past 30 years…by the North.
And during the years when the South's "de jure" segregationist polices were being fought against in what is now referred to as The Civil Rights Era (1954-1968), the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has documented 40 deaths of people who ranged in age from 11 to 66. Eight were white, and 32 were black. They came from all walks of life – students, farmers, ministers, truck drivers, a homemaker and a Nobel laureate, Rev. Martin Luther King.
On the other hand, in the "de facto" segregationist North, the massive Detroit race riots of June 20-22 1943 and July 23-27, 1967, combined, had a total death toll of 77 dead, nearly 2,000 wounded, over 10,000 arrests, and nearly 5,000 buildings and property destroyed.
In fact, during the 1960's when the South was changing and adjusting to the abolishment of its "de jure" segregationist society, the North's "de facto" segregationist societies continued on leading to the: Harlem Riot of 1964, 1 dead,118 injured, and 465 arrested… Watts (Los Angeles) Riots of 1965, 34 dead, 1,032 injured and 3,348 arrested…Cleveland Riots of 1966, 4 dead, 30 injured and 275 arrested…Detroit Riots of 1967, 43 dead, 1,189 injured and over 7,200 arrested…Newark Riots of 1968, 26 dead, 727 injured and 1,500 arrested…Chicago Riots of 1968, 11 dead, 138 injured and 1,500 arrested.
One of the most enduring images and remembrances during this era of our common America history are those of the March 7, 1965, Selma to Montgomery Alabama March, called "Bloody Sunday", that left 17 marchers hospitalized and 50 treated for lesser injuries, who were brutalized by the police for doing nothing more than exercising their rights.
And for that brutal assault upon those innocent marchers the South has been rightly condemned…over, and over, and over, and over, and over…
But the fact remains, aside from the South NEVER having experienced the race riots the North did during the Civil Rights Era…40 deaths in the South during this turbulent time, and as despicable as they were, are nothing compared to the at least 119 dead, 3,234 injured and 14,288 arrested during this same time period in the North that clearly shows who has to be rightly condemned for their racist and segregationist society.
We own no newspapers though, or television networks…so, once again, because some insane white kid decides to kill black worshipers in a Southern church, the South must be punished! Again!
Reconstruction Part II…here we come!
They tell us now that our flag must be destroyed, our monuments must be destroyed, anything and everything daring to show anything relating to the Confederacy must be banned, the stain-glassed windows in our National Church must be removed, one of our nation's greatest movies, Gone With The Wind, must be banned…and while their at it…they say the Jefferson Memorial has to be destroyed too!
As to when the racist hatred and bloodlust of the General Sherman and Abraham Lincoln created "genocidal" North against us Southerners (or Native peoples, or Muslim peoples, etc.) will ever be satisfied no one knows! After all, unlike Hitler who was defeated, they were the winners and they haven't stopped starting wars since they won their first one!
And isn't it absolutely ironically amazing that General Robert E. Lee wrote these words on December 27, 1856: "There are few, I believe, in this enlightened age, who will not acknowledge that slavery as an institution is a moral and political evil."…words, mind you, which were replied to five years later, on March 4, 1861, on the eve of this catastrophic Civil War, by the newly elected President Abraham Lincoln, who in his inaugural address said: "I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so."
Barely one month later, on April 18, 1861, President Abraham Lincoln offered General Lee the command of all the Union armies…but when Lee learned that Lincoln intended to use these armies to invade the South and subjugate it to destroy once and for all States rights, Lee simply said: "I shall never bear arms against the Union, but it may be necessary for me to carry a musket in the defense of my native state, Virginia, in which case I shall not prove recreant to my duty."
Lee made the right choice, after all, as both he and everyone else in knew, both in the South and North, slavery was all but finished in the United States, it was only a matter of time.
And seriously, Lee reasoned, who would actually want to serve under a President like Abraham Lincoln who said about the black Southern peoples, both slave and free, "Our republican system was meant for a homogeneous people. As long as blacks continue to live with the whites they constitute a threat to the national life. Family life may also collapse and the increase of mixed breed bastards may some day challenge the supremacy of the white man."
Racist Lincoln's flag is still flying…Sherman's genocidal wars have never stopped…the bloodbath of blacks in the Northern cities continues…but they want to burn our flag?
None of this makes sense.

SC Johnson Releases 2016 Sustainability Report
The notion of going beyond is a fundamental part of SC Johnson. We're always trying to do what's right, not just what's required," said Fisk Johnson, Chairman and CEO. "From creating great products that make life easier, to continually expanding our ingredient transparency, to helping families in need, to us going beyond is how we live up to our responsibility to future generations."
A New Dialogue on Transparency
SC Johnson believes families want products that work, made from ingredients they can trust. Consumers should be able to make educated choices about what they bring into their homes. The company: •Continued its efforts with the ongoing dialogue about chemicals, disclosure and so-called natural products. Many companies claim their products are better because they are "natural" or contain "natural fragrances." In reality, all fragrances, including essential oils, are complex mixtures of chemicals.
- Launched the industry's first 100 percent of fragrance ingredients disclosed product with its Glade® Fresh Citrus Blossoms air care collection.
- Became the first major consumer packaged goods company to list specific fragrance ingredients for products sold across Europe.
The company made great environmental strides in 2016 and exceeded aggressive goals for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and global manufacturing waste, including: •32.7 percent of energy use globally now from renewable sources
- 51.7 percent greenhouse gas emissions reduction from SC Johnson manufacturing sites since 2000, indexed to production
- 76 percent waste reduction at SC Johnson manufacturing sites since 2000, as a ratio to production
- One-third of SC Johnson global office and manufacturing sites now hold "zero waste-to-landfill" status**
Improving Lives
One of SC Johnson's greatest examples of "Going Beyond" this year is its commitment to provide products that protect against mosquitoes that may carry disease. As the world's largest producer of pest control products, the company used its 60 years of insect research experience to create educational materials for families to make informed decisions about mosquito bite prevention. The company also ramped up manufacturing of personal repellents globally to meet the demand brought on by the outbreak of the Zika virus and: •Launched a global website in 13 languages to educate about mosquito bite prevention.
- Committed $15 million in product and resource donations to those in need.
- Delivered over $200 million in philanthropic contributions over the past 10 years alone.
SC Johnson's 2016 Sustainability Report is online now at www.scjohnson.com/report . The report is available online in Chinese, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese.


Marrow-spoon. This is an adaptation in the trefid/rat-tail spoon with a useless stem. It was created and used to extract the bone fragments marrow from cooked bone fragments, this being regarded as a delicacy. Medicine spoons are often from the 18th and nineteenth century. Often double ended with a different dose scale on each end. There is also the caster-oil spoon that shaped a closed recepticle with a hollow handle. This allowed the giver of the dosage to restrict the flow of caster-oil until the recipient offers the bowl in the mouth. Cooking... what is this? Well my meaning is, this is the process of applying heat to raw foodstuff thus changing the physical state of it. This altered state renders it extra tender, palatable and hence more readily absorbed into our intestinal systems.

Earlier this week, Mark Zuckerberg hosted the first ever Facebook Live Q&A through the company's live streaming video platform. He discussed a myriad of topics with the millions of viewers who tuned in for the stream, but about 43 minutes in, he decided to bring on a special guest to join him.
That guest just so happened to be Jerry Seinfeld.
Although it appeared to have been somewhat of an impromptu encounter, Seinfeld explains that he was at Facebook HQ is order to participate in an Oculus Rift demonstration, host a Q&A of his own and screen the first episode of the new season of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee for Facebook's employees.
After that, Zuckerberg did his best to get Seinfeld to read some questions that were submitted by Facebook users, but the comedian was far more interested in finding out what the social media mogul had done that morning.
But the moment that had everyone buzzing was when Zuckerberg read the following question: "Are the allegations true that you're secretly a lizard?" He promptly denied the rumors… but didn't provide any convincing evidence.

RINO Lindsey Graham Backs Brandon's Black Woman for SCOTUS Pledge
Lindsey Graham, the "Republican" Senator from South Carolina, likes to pretend that he's one of those rock-ribbed conservatives fighting for our rights.
Whenever he has time to prepare an act and make ready an excuse for not taking real action, he'll be the loudest-mouth conservative there it, jabbering on and on about how he's just around the corner from really taking a hammer to the left.
Of course, it's all an act, as Lindsey shows us whenever he speaks off the cuff or sees an opportunity to flash his "bipartisanship" or "diversity" credentials.
The diversity opportunity came up recently, when Justice Breyer decided to retire and President Brandon affirmed his 2020 pledge to nominate a black woman to the Supreme Court if he got the opportunity.
Sensing an opportunity to ingratiate himself to those who would never in a million years vote for him, Lindsey took to the airwaves to present himself as a bloviating idiot that cares deeply about diversity that's literally skin deep. Watch him here:
Lindsey Graham backs Biden's pledge to automatically pick a black woman, says it will "make the court look more like America" pic.twitter.com/odpdXKoves
— Jewish Patriot (@MAGAJew2) January 30, 2022
As you can watch in the video, Graham appeared on CBS's "Face the Nation" (it's never a good sign when a "conservative" appears on an MSM show) and told moderator Margaret Brennan that he is supportive of Brandon's pledge to put a minority in Justice Breyer's former seat, saying:
"Put me in the camp of making sure the court and other institutions look like America. You know, we make a real effort as Republicans to recruit women and people of color to make the party look more like America. Affirmative action is picking somebody not as well qualified for past wrongs."
He then went on to praise likely pick Michelle Childs, saying:
"Michelle Childs is incredibly qualified. There's no affirmative action component if you pick her.
I can't think of a better person for President Biden to consider for the Supreme Court then Michelle Childs. She has wide support in our state. She's considered to be a fair-minded, highly gifted jurist. She's one of the most decent people I've ever met. It would be good for the court to have somebody who's not at Harvard or Yale."
Later, speaking on Childs again, Graham continued to praise the leftist judge, saying:
"I don't see Michelle Childs as an act of affirmative action. I do see putting a Black woman on the court making the court more like America. In the history of our country, we've only had five women serve and two African-American men."
Of course, Graham's claims are absurd. It is 100% affirmative action to choose some group you don't think has gotten enough air time and picking purely from that group, forgetting about merit and laws against racial discrimination in the process, just so that someone from that demographic can be involved.
Further, the "making sure the court and other institutions look like America" claim is utterly ridiculous. America is 13 percent black. Justice Thomas is one of nine judges and he is black. That means the court is just over 11 percent black, which is close enough and certainly closer to 13% than 22% is.
And if Senator Graham is so worried about making the court look like America, why not blow it up to 1,000, or maybe even 10,000, justices and picking some from each and every possible demographic in their exact proportions to the population? Justice won't be served until the correct number of two-spirit Pacific Islanders serve alongside the exactly correct proportion of gay Americans of Serbian ancestry. SCOTUS needs to look like America, after all!
Graham's comments are absurd when examined; it is affirmative action to pick a candidate purely on the basis of race and gender and the court should be composed of the best and brightest judges, not some rainbow coalition of affirmative action picks.

Meadow Orchard: Mince pie, anyone?
This evening was staff drinks at work and we're taking it in turns to introduce a national theme. Tonight it was the turn of the Brits, so there was ale, cider and pimms alongside scones, cheese and biscuits. My contribution was mince pies - in part because I still had quite a lot of mincemeat in the fridge.
After my - ahem - less than entirely successful first attempt before Christmas, I'd felt rather discouraged, but this time I used a different recipe - this one by Mary Berry - and it came out beautifully. The pastry was perfectly cooked with no soggy bottoms, and the cranberry jam and mincemeat went beautifully together. Definitely one to be repeated! And it was quite straightforward, no need to chill the pastry or anything.
They went down a treat - none left - and as I still have one more jar of mincemeat in the fridge, I might make another batch. I'm feeling quite proud of these - pastry is not my strength by a very long shot, so the successful avoidance of the soggy bottom is something I am rather pleased with.

Mesothelioma Lawsuits and Settlements from Asbestos Exposure
If you've been diagnosed with mesothelioma from asbestos exposure, you should immediately find out your options for compensation. The payout amounts can reach into the millions of dollars depending on the claim and the situation.
Two Types of Mesothelioma Lawsuits
Personal Injury Lawsuit – Those diagnosed with mesothelioma can file a Personal Injury Lawsuit against the company or companies behind asbestos exposure. Wrongful Death Claim – This type of claim is filed by the estate of a person who has died from mesothelioma. Surviving family members can seek compensation for medical bills, funeral expenses, and lost income.
Statute of Limitation for Mesothelioma Claim
It's important to know about the Statute of Limitations involving these mesothelioma lawsuits. These are the windows of time available to file a lawsuit, typically 1 to 3 years depending on where you live. In a Personal Injury Lawsuit, the Statute of Limitations begins after a mesothelioma diagnosis. For a Wrongful Death Claim, it begins at the time of death. That's why it's so vital to file a claim as soon as possible.
Statistics about Mesothelioma and Asbestos exposure
About 3,000 mesothelioma cases are diagnosed each year
Millions of people have been exposed to mesothelioma causing asbestos.
Only 40% of people diagnosed with mesothelioma survive at least one year.
The average age at diagnosis: 72 years old
8 out of 10 people with mesothelioma have been exposed to asbestos
It typically takes between 20 to 50 years from first exposure to mesothelioma diagnosis.
File a Claim for Mesothelioma Trust Fund
Trust funds allow mesothelioma victims to file a claim for compensation through the trust instead of suing a company. Compensation applies to all types of asbestos-related illnesses.
There are about 60 trust funds currently in existence with an estimated $30 billion available to compensate victims. About $20 billion has already been paid out. This money is subject to a statute of limitations, which changes with each specific trust fund.
Are You Eligible for a Trust Fund Settlement?
Find out with a free attorney case review
Mesothelioma is a type of cancer in the thin layer of tissue that covers many of our internal organs. The most common type related to asbestos exposure (about 75% of cases) is the lining of the lungs and chest wall (pleural). Less common is the lining of the abdomen (peritoneal).
Causes of Mesothelioma
The most common cause of mesothelioma is exposure to asbestos. This happens most often in the workplace, but asbestos exposure can also take place at home and in the military. A person can inhale or swallow airborne asbestos fibers. Those fibers can lodge in the lining of the lungs and abdomen. Over time, tumors form which lead to a mesothelioma diagnosis.
