The essential challenge of effective time management is to spend more of our time doing those things which bring us the best results, and less of those things that don't bring us results.

So we struggle, every day, with surmounting this challenge. We try to spend more time with customers, and less with paperwork. We try to delegate portions of our "to do" list that can better be done by someone else. We arrange our days to spend our time doing the most effective things.

And we understand that on occasion a relatively large one-time, up-front investment of time will save us a disproportionately greater amount of time down the road. So, we invest in a new computer system and all the time that it takes to massage it into operation because we expect it to save us time in the future. We spend some serious time creating annual goals and strategic plans because we expect those exercises to help us be more effective in the coming year.

It's with that perspective in mind that I suggest an initiative that could potentially provide you a huge return on your time invested: Prepare a Disaster Plan.

"What's that?" you are wondering. It's your plan for continuing your business with minimal downtime in the event of a disruption due to forces completely out of your control. When we think of disasters, it's easy to focus on the large events that consume the media. For example, we all know people who are hurting because of damage to their businesses by the series of hurricanes. And it is just as true for those suffering from the flooding in the North East, the tsunami in the South Pacific and the earthquakes in Pakistan.

But the disaster doesn't need to be nearly so involved to threaten your business. It can be much more personal and intimate. My business, for example, has experienced two such events in the last two months. For the last 49 months, I have presented a monthly one-hour telephone seminar for salespeople. Last month, the local phone lines went down right in the middle of my presentation. Several hundred salespeople around the country were cut off in the middle of the presentation.

Not a major disaster, but certainly a bump in the road. My staff had to spend a lot of time adjusting registration fees, rescheduling attendees, etc. It fits the criterion: If we could have somehow prevented this, or reacted quickly, we would have saved dozens of man-hours devoted to unproductive tasks.

Here's another "personal disaster." During lunch at a seminar I was teaching at the Renaissance Hotel in Orlando, someone stole my laptop, projector and briefcase, which contained my cell phone, PDA, and other important information. I had to disband the seminar, and spend the afternoon making calls to protect the information on the computers. Not only that, but my staff had to spend days working with the participants to adjust their fees. The repercussions will take months to finally sort out. All of this is time spent in unproductive ways.

Neither of these events reaches the magnitude of a major environmental disaster. Yet each of them robbed me and my staff of valuable time as we attended to the after-effects of a personal setback.

What personal disasters can attack you? What would you do if the phone lines went down for an extended period of time? How about the electrical power? What if a virus took down your computer system? What if you had your laptop stolen? Or your wallet or purse? Or your entire workforce called in sick with the flu? Or the price of gas tripled?

Take some time to develop a contingency plan right now, while you have a clear head and the time to think it through. The time you spend doing that may very well become one of your best time management investments.

Mick Humphrey: Barnesville’s budding Ben Franklin

BARNESVILLE, Ohio – There’s a little Thomas Edison in every farmer.

It’s when the feeding system groans and grinds to a halt or the tractor’s engine gurgles a few times before sputtering to a stop.

It’s when the hardware store closed an hour ago and the farmer must rely on his inventive imagination to solve the problem.

It’s times like this when the little Thomas Edison that dwells in the farmer creeps to the surface.

The “invention” could be nothing more than some baler twine and duct tape holding two broken parts together. Anything works as long as it will get the farmer to the next day’s work.

Sometimes the farmer crafts a more permanent creation. He drills, nails, screws, welds and bolts his invention -whatever it may be – together and uses it every day, not knowing that he may have invented the the farming industry’s next greatest breakthrough.

But how does a farmer take his innovation from the barn and put it on the shelves of stores for consumers to buy?

Mick Humphrey, of Barnesville, Ohio, is beginning to find out.

Step 1: Be a tinkerer. Some inventions are made by people who don’t know a screwdriver from a hammer, while others are invented by people who give their power tools first names. However, most inventors have a childlike curiosity about how things worked. They’re always taking things apart, putting them back together and thinking up new ways for the item to work better.

Humphrey was always a tinkerer. He snapped together erector sets and glued model cars together as a child and was an industrial arts “veteran” at Union Local High School in Morristown, Ohio, taking every shop class the school offered.

“I could turn out a wood project in a week,” Humphrey said.

Frank Greenlee, a vocational-agriculture teacher at Union Local, gave him the freedom to be inventive, Humphrey said.

“(Greenlee) didn’t say ‘Build this or that.’ He let you do what you want,” Humphrey said.

More than 20 years later, Humphrey is still devising inventions.

Step Two: Have an idea. Humphrey has lived on his 94-acre hay farm, south of Barnesville, Ohio, for 16 years with his wife, Tina, and two children, 13-year-old Kara and 10-year-old Micah.

One of his first inventions Humphrey remembers was a snow plow attachment, similar to all today’s attachable snow plows, that could easily be hooked and unhooked to his 1981 Toyota pick-up.

“I didn’t even think of contacting a manufacturer then,” he said.

During a cold winter in 1990, when he found it difficult to lift his round bales because the rings were frozen to ground, Humphrey went to the drawing board.

While watching television in his living room, he sat down with some graph paper and drew sketches of an hydraulic machine that attaches to the 3-point hitch of a tractor. Humphrey’s creation could lift heavier bales higher than standard 3-point hitches.

Humphrey is still seeking a patent for his invention so he can’t disclose specific details of his invention.

Using his drawings as a blueprint, Humphrey built a prototype in his father’s garage (where he built previous items). He hooked it up to his tractor, gave it a test-run and his then nameless item worked.

“I did it right the first time, by accident or not,” he said.

Step 3: Find someone to promote your item. Humphrey showed his gadget to some friends and they wanted him to make them one. He started to think about getting a patent for it, but didn’t know the names of any consulting firms.

One night his wife was reading the Barnesville Enterprise, a weekly newspaper.

She showed her husband a story about a man who lived no more than five miles from them, who invented an upside-down pump, which Humphrey remembers as an device that allows you to use spray bottles while holding them upside-down.

The article said the man used Invention Technologies, Inc., a consulting firm in Coral Gables, Fla., to promote his product to manufacturers.

Humphrey called the man in the article and got the phone number for the consulting firm.

In 2000, 10 years after he built his invention, Humphrey called the consulting firm and they sent an information packet to him, asking for drawings and information about his product.

Humphrey sent them four or five drawings of different inventions he designed. He sat in his living room and sketched a hay wagon that could be manufactured cheaply, a bucket lift system for a boom truck, a snow plow that could be easily attached to a truck and a hydraulic machine that could lift hay bales.

Invention Technologies picked his hydraulic machine and asked for a name.

“I came up with ‘hay lifter,’ but that doesn’t explain the whole tool,” he said.

Humphrey said he could think of about 20 uses for his product. It does anything a small crane can do.

From there, the consulting firm went to work. After putting the hay lifter through a market analysis, they researched the market to make sure there were no similar products, set up a Web site and sent the link to potential manufacturers and distributed product mailings.

Humphrey considered using a patent lawyer instead of a consulting firm, but said most patent lawyers only have offices in large cities and carry a $200 an hour price tag. A consulting firm costs about $6,000 to $7,000.

Step 4: Find someone to build your invention. Right now Humphrey is trying to find a manufacturer.

Humphrey hasn’t let the consulting firm do all the work either. He studied expired dealer books and ads in various newspapers (including the Farm and Dairy) for names of manufacturers and called over 20 manufacturers personally.

Even the bigger manufacturers like John Deere and New Holland didn’t turn their noses up at him and gave straightforward answers. “They gave me the time of day,” Humphrey said. “They sat down and listened.”

Humphrey said the only problem he encountered with manufacturers is their reluctance to sign disclosure agreements, which protect his idea from being stolen. Humphrey said manufacturers are willing to hear about your idea, but not willing to sign because if they later assemble a similar product, then there is potential for a lawsuit.

“If a manufacturer won’t sign a confidentiality agreement, don’t talk to them.” he said.

Two years after calling the Florida consulting firm, Humphrey has an interested manufacturer. Although nothing is certain, S&R Manufacturing, a farm equipment producer in Bird in Hand, Pa., is interested in Humphrey’s product.

If it works out, Humphrey will sign a licensing agreement, figure the nuts and bolts of production and the hay lifter will hit dealerships.

After the hay lifter is in stores, Humphrey said he has three more inventions on the drawing board.

There are a lot of farmers with good ideas for new products and they should pursue their ideas, Humphrey said.

“Jot them down and go for it,” he said. “What do you have to lose?”

Using ag biomass for energy isn’t free

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Using agricultural byproducts as an energy source these days is making more economic sense, according to a fuels expert in Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences. But “biomass” is not free, he points out.

It’s not free. “We have the opportunity to use biomass – generally defined as organic matter including wood, agricultural crops, crop residues and animal manures – to produce several types of fuel,” said Dennis Buffington, professor of agricultural engineering. “But we can no longer think of these materials as free.”

Although energy prices have stabilized this year, there are increased concerns about the price and availability of energy in various forms, notes Buffington.

“Just one year ago, we were facing energy prices of over $2 a gallon for gasoline, natural gas prices approaching $25 per 1,000 cubic feet and home heating fuel of $1.40 a gallon in some markets,” he said.

Reducing vulnerability. “Considering the terrorist attacks last September and the continuing terrorist threats, we are now even more committed to reducing our vulnerability to world events by decreasing our dependence on imports of overseas petroleum.”

Examples of biomass include ethanol produced from shelled corn, biodiesel from organic oils (derived from plants, animals and spent cooking oil), methane from digesting animal manures, ethanol from “cellulosic” plant materials and methane from landfill gases.

More benefits. There are benefits in addition to the fuels produced, including byproducts that often can be used for animal feed, organic fertilizers and soil amendments, points out Buffington.

And there is always the potential for creating jobs and spurring economic development in the communities where these processing facilities are located.

“Unfortunately, many analyses of the economic benefits of producing ethanol from cellulosic plant materials often regard the cellulose as free,” he said.

“Whether we are talking about straw, corn stover, corncobs or other crop residue, these materials are anything but ‘free’.”

Expenses. Obvious expenses, according to Buffington, include the labor, equipment and fuel costs for harvesting these biomass materials, transporting the low-density materials to a central facility for producing the fuel and storing the materials for use in off-season.

“Less obvious expenses include increased soil compaction because of more equipment traffic on the fields, increased soil erosion because of the loss of vegetative cover, increased need for fertilizer and herbicides for the next cycle of crops, decreased moisture-holding capacity of the soil, and decreased food and shelter for wildlife,” he said.

“Obviously it’s difficult to place dollar values on indirect costs of utilizing crop residues, such as soil compaction, soil loss and wildlife habitat,” Buffington adds. “Direct costs of utilizing crop residues can be established for factors including labor, equipment and fuel.”

Producers also need to consider that the crop residue has an opportunity cost from other competitive uses such as livestock bedding, landscape mulch, fiberboard and insulation.

“In all analyses, we must always include the economic costs and the environmental implications associated with utilizing crop residues to produce fuel,” said Buffington.

Adventures in Icelandic Monetary Policy

What does it mean that Iceland has just raised interest rates by 600bp, after cutting them by 350bp a couple of weeks ago? I’m not talking about monetary policy here, I’m talking about what it means in practice. Central bank interest rates, after all, are the rate at which national banks can borrow overnight funds. So does this mean that Iceland’s big three banks are actually borrowing new money, even though they’re all insolvent?

The decision to raise rates is being painted as an attempt "to return to a market-based floating exchange rate regime". But the reason that regime fell apart was nothing to do with Iceland’s monetary policy. Rather, it was a function of the fact that anybody looking to earn interest on Icelandic krona deposits would have to have that money on deposit with an Icelandic bank. Which, in turn, meant taking bank credit risk on top of FX risk. And if you wanted to take bank credit risk, you could make much more money by selling default protection.

So I suspect that this latest move by the central bank is largely symbolic. No liquid currency market can exist in a country without a functioning banking system. Unless and until Iceland gets solvent banks — either new ones or restructured old ones — the krona will continue to trade largely through newspaper classified ads.

FEV exhibits innovative plug-in hybrid transmission at SAE World Congress

Downsizing, hybridization requires new thinking in transmission development and FEV’s transmission development capability delivers

Auburn Hills, Mich., April 7, 2014 – FEV North America, Inc. a leading developer of advanced powertrain and vehicle system technologies will be exhibiting its most recent transmission design advancements at the SAE World Congress, April 8 – 10, 2014 at Cobo Center in Detroit, Mich.

Engine downsizing for increased fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, either alone or as part of an extended range hybrid system, has led to challenges for transmission developers who are being asked to provide higher levels of capability in a smaller package that can be used in a downsized engine compartment.  At the same time, it is desirable to reduce mechanical complexity and increase robustness.  FEV has used a clean sheet approach to develop a transmission with such capability.

The plug-in hybrid transmission’s capabilities include 2-speed pure electric driving mode, use as an ICE range extender in parallel mode for efficient highway driving, and a highly flexible eCVT mode (power split) that features excellent launch performance without clutch slippage.  The transmission does not use a torque converter and includes only one electric machine.

FEV’s transmission design process was supported by advanced CAE methods.  The TCU software was developed in-house; the calibration was optimized via FEV’s proprietary TOPexpert tool chain.  The result is a state-of-the-art transmission that is low in complexity, yet enables a high degree of vehicle functionality including the following:

  • Electric drive mode with two ratios
  • Full hybrid functionality including e-boost and regen
  • Superior launch performance using either ICE or e-motor
  • Creep behavior similar to conventional automatic transmissions
  • Excellent fuel economy enabled by elimination of torque converter and use of a highly efficient parallel mode of operation

Use of FEV’s systematic development process and CAE methods resulted in a transmission that is 10 percent lighter, shorter and less costly to manufacture than a similar dual-clutch transmission.  The transmission is package-neutral and offers very low complexity and a high degree of robustness.  Testing included putting the transmission through FEV’s extreme dynamic “Nürburgring” test cycle for sports car performance.

FIFA 22 Contracts (Player & Manager Contract Cards)

Contracts in FIFA 22

Contract items in FUT 22 are consumable items that can be applied to a player or a manager to increase their number of remaining matches. A player or manager who does not have a contract will be unable to attend a match.

A player or manager who was involved in that match will lose a number of contracts when they play a match in FUT. The contract numbers of players on the substitution list who were not substituted to play a match will not be used. The number of contracts a player has left is indicated on the back of their card by the word “Contract” or “CON” in short form.

There are two types of contracts in FUT 22:

  • Player Contracts
  • Manager Contracts

Player Contracts

Player contracts are applicable to players only including goalkeepers. Player contracts are available in three different qualities: Gold, Silver, and Bronze, and they add a specific amount of matches to a player item as follows:

Contract Quality # of Matches for Gold Players # of Matches for Silver Players # of Matches for Bronze Players
Gold, Rare (99) 99 99 99
Gold, Rare 28 24 28
Gold, Rare 13 11 15
Silver, Rare 18 24 20
Silver 8 10 10
Bronze, Rare 3 6 15
Bronze 1 2 8

Manager Contracts

Manager contracts are applicable to managers only. Below is the list of them:

Contract Quality # of Matches for Gold Managers # of Matches for Silver Managers # of Matches for Bronze Managers
Gold, Rare 28 24 24
Gold, Rare 13 11 11
Silver, Rare 18 24 18
Silver 8 10 8
Bronze, Rare 3 6 15
Bronze 1 2 8

How to Apply Contracts to a Player or a Manager?

Go to your Squad in FUT, choose your player, and bring up the Player Actions panel (PS4: Square button / Xbox: X button). Select a contract from the Contracts menu, then apply

To apply a contract card to a manager, go to your Squad, pick the Manager Actions screen (PS4: R2 / Xbox: RT), then Apply Manager Item, and select a contract card from the Contract tab.

Where to Find & Get Contract Cards?

Player and Manager contracts can be found in FUT 22 packs or gained as rewards. Contract cards can be purchased and traded in the Transfer Market’s Consumables area.

Denver Loves Food Safety Education

Alison Peterson, a Food Program Supervisor for the Denver Department of Environmental Health (DEH) caught up with us to share wonderful activities of the DEH that protect public health through food safety education!

Denver Department of Environmental Health Public Health Inspection Division is passionate about education! DEH is dedicated to protecting the public’s health and safety by educating the food industry. DEH regularly offers basic food safety classes for anyone interested. The target audience is the every-day food employee. Our classes provide a comprehensive overview of day-to-day food safety concepts in a food facility. We do have a heavy focus on the biological hazards of food-borne illness and how crucial hand washing is by conducting GloGerm demonstrations.

DEH has always offered basic food safety classes. Over the past few years, we have really increased our educations efforts. We developed a new Power Point presentation, complete with “real” pictures. We added more classes to the 2015 schedule including Spanish classes! We created a colorful, fun pamphlet to hand out to operators, employees, and anyone interested in attending the class! We created a “food safety instructor team” of any inspectors interested in teaching this class. We met, we discussed, we talked food safety, and we all chuckled when someone mentioned “Oh, I can definitely talk about explosive diarrhea and projectile vomiting in front of a group of people!”

Our educational program has improved so much that Basic Food Safety Class attendance has skyrocketed from 10-15 participants per class to almost 50 participants! We now have a team of four instructors (and two of them also speak Spanish)!  We have also received numerous requests for off-site classes and at the end of 2014, conducted 10 off-site classes! In 2015, we have already conducted 3 off-site classes too! Our initiative this year is to reach out to as many food handlers as possible. We have partnered with State Food Safety to offer an online food safety class in multiple languages!

We have received great feedback regarding the availability of this educational opportunity. Our instructors created a post-class evaluation as well, where one participant concluded that, “The sharing of “real life” experience. All the pictures and stories really help things hit home!”

EX2 Extended Melt Filter Nozzles – Filabot

EX2 Extended Melt Filter Nozzles

  • Sale
  • Regular price $72.45

This “extra length” improves output consistency, keeping your filament extrusion to the appropriate range. Use the Filabot Melt Filter Nozzle to help decontaminate your recycled materials for a clean, consistent filament. The stock nozzle is good for lower output applications where the voltage is under 25 volts. If using on higher voltage it will result in die drool. The 2x nozzle is better because it provides more laminar flow (less die stress at exit) and allows the filament to cool slightly during exit compared to stock. The 2x nozzle works up to 50 volts. The 3x nozzle is used for very high index plastics like PET. It aids in the pull down on exit and allows the filament to cool even more than the 2x.

We recommend using a filter with a mesh opening size 75% or less of the 3D printer nozzle size

Screen 1/2" (13mm) Dia 20 Mesh Support Screen (0.381mm Opening Size)
Screen 1/2" (13mm) Dia 60 Mesh Coarse Filter Screen (0.229mm Opening Size)
Screen 1/2" (13mm) Dia 80 Mesh Fine Filter Screen (0.178mm Opening Size)

These nozzles are to make 1.75mm or 3mm, ABS, PLA or other types of filament. We also offer a pre-drilled nozzle for users who are looking to make custom size extruder nozzles. Pre-drilled nozzles have a 1mm hole. Please note that the nozzle size will be a different size than the filament that is being made. It is best to pull down the filament to the correct size.

Get Melt Filter Extra & Replacement Parts Here

PLEASE NOTE: This accessory is NOT for filtering highly contaminated plastic. This is to help filter small particles that were missed in the decontamination process. Anything added to the hopper MUST be clean of dust, dirt, paint, coatings, and tape, etc.

johnski - Lake Skipper view all Lake Skippers...
My name is John Rawinski, and I grew up fishing in Massachusetts where I found largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, pickerel, and trout my favorite targets. My dad was instrumental in getting me outdoors and fishing soon became a passion. Then as I became a teenager, I tried flyfishing, and in one magic cast, the trout was hooked and so was I. A Black Gnat on the West River was unforgetable.

I learned a lot from my dad, who had the patience to carefully fish one location and catch his limit while I, impatient as I was (and still am to some extent), would spend more time crashing thru brush looking for that perfect location. Dad generally brought home the dinner. But it was all great times.....thanks dad.

After college at UMass and then Wisconsin, I moved west and have been here ever since working in Colorado and Wyoming during my career as a soil scientist. I am now a retired USDA soil scientist and worked for the FS for 30+ years. I enjoy getting my kids out fishing, and when they are in school, I get a little done myself. I like fly fishing as well as worm dunking with my kids. Am a member of TU, RMEF, CBA and Colorado Field Ornithologists (CFO). Also enjoy bowhunting, photography, and most forms of hunting. I am lake skipper for Sanchez, Road Canyon, Home Lake and Mountain Home Reservoir but will also report other lakes around the San Luis Valley as I can get to them. There seem to be few skippers in the San Luis Valley so I will do my best to cover this vast area. I always appreciate other fisherpersons updates on the conditions. I have a personal goal to fish all of the high elevation lakes in the Sangres and San Juan Mountains surrounding the San Luis Valley and am 75% complete!

I am a person of faith and find wisdom in God's word. God bless the USA.

Tried And True Attorneys Standing Up For The Injured Since 1965

Double hearing protection may be needed in loud workplaces

On Behalf of | Dec 3, 2019 | Workers' Compensation |

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires employers in New Jersey and around the country to put hearing conservation programs and administrative controls into place when noise levels in the workplace are likely to reach levels that could damage human hearing. In most industrial situations, putting in ear plugs or wearing earmuffs is all that is needed to provide workers with adequate protection and meet OSHA standards. However, the noise levels in some work environments reach levels high enough to require double hearing protection.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health recommends double hearing protection when the average noise level during shifts lasting eight hours or longer is higher than 100 A-weighted decibels. The Mine Safety and Health Administration requires double hearing protection when mine workers are exposed to average noise levels of 105 A-weighted decibels during their shifts.

Double hearing protection is taking two steps to prevent hearing loss instead of one. This could be accomplished by wearing earmuffs and using ear plugs instead of choosing one or the other. However, workers should be trained to insert ear plugs correctly, or the benefits provided by double hearing protection could be lost. According to OSHA guidelines, the added benefits of double hearing protection should be calculated by increasing the noise reduction rating of the highest-rated hearing protection device being used by five.

Workers who suffer hearing loss or develop other medical problems because of their work conditions are usually entitled to receive workers’ compensation benefits, but navigating the application process can be a frustrating experience for individuals unaccustomed to bureaucratic paperwork. Attorneys with experience in this area may help injured workers complete their claim documents and gather the medical evidence they will be asked to provide. Attorneys may also advocate on their behalf if their workers’ compensation claims are denied or challenged by their employers.

General Question

MyNewtBoobs's avatar

Why do children accept that there is no Santa but not that there is no God?

Asked by MyNewtBoobs (19054points) December 25th, 2010

When you tell a child there is no Santa (or Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, what have you), they just get really wide-eyed and look sad, like they knew it all along (at least, according to all sitcoms – I have no personal experience). But when you tell them there’s no God, they get insanely defensive and insist you’re lying. What gives? What’s the difference between these things?

I think It could be several things. First, Santa brings toys, so the idea they might stop getting toys, might widen their eyes. And, they must be thinking while their eyes are wide how the gifts get there. Also, the toys are very tangible; and God, I would assume, I don’t really have experience with this :) is some abstract thing to kids that exists in a place where people are dead, or up in a place in the sky far far away. Santa comes to town. Also, when they run back to their parents and ask if Santa is real, the parents usually fess up. When they ask if God is real, the parents get freaked out, and insist he is. That is if they want their children to believe in God.

I have no experience of children defending the existence of God. I expect that they are likely to believe what they are told.

MyNewtBoobs's avatar

@marinelife That one I do have personal experience with. Even when I wasn’t saying He wasn’t real…

I tossed santa and then about a year later I was really thinking about it and realized it was pretty much the same shit.

JLeslie's avatar

@papayalily You told a child God is not real? Are the parents on board with that?

It’s usually not the parents who teach kids that there is no Santa, they tend to figure it out on their own. I’m not religious and I don’t teach my kid about god, but I’m not going to tell him that he doesn’t exist, and I won’t condemn anyone who wants to teach their kids about the bible because there are a few good points in there that certainly won’t hurt the kids. If my son wants to go to church one day, it’s fine with me, but I will never force him to go or push any religion on him.

MyNewtBoobs's avatar

@JLeslie No, no – I didn’t tell them that God wasn’t real, and yet they kept trying to convince me that he was. The ones where I said God wasn’t real was when I was a kid, too.

JLeslie's avatar

@papayalily Let’s see if I understand. You are all a bunch of kids, and you say God isn’t real, while these other kids are insisting He is. Right? I was picturing you, or the person doing the telling as an adult in this question.

I guess it was hard for me to imagine young children discussing God and His existence. I never talked about God with my friends when I was so little. In fact I never really heard about God until I was a teen I think. God just didn’t apply to me and my family.

@JLeslie Correct. I never really brought it up, but the kids next door were uber-religious and would ask me all the time if I was Christian and had accepted Jesus into my heart. I had been baptized (which was all that my denomination needed to make me Christian) and Anglican’s don’t really care about Jesus, it’s all about God, so I kept being all “Sure… I guess… Whatever”. Then they wouldn’t let it go. Over the next couple of years, our discussions turned from them trying to get me to “convert” to a religion I thought I already was to me becoming an atheist and telling them that it was evolution and not creation that brought us all here when they started in on that shit. Eventually, we stopped being friends because I just couldn’t take doing nothing but fighting about God with them.
I’ve actually seen 3 different kids from 3 different families hear from another adult that God isn’t real (or at least might not be real), and they all went freaking biserk.

JLeslie's avatar

@Rarebear So you told them santa doesn’t exist? Did you worry they would tell other kids?

Rarebear's avatar

@JLeslie Well, Santa was never a problem as we’re Jewish, but yes I did tell her Santa doesn’t exist. I told her not to tell her friends, though, and she hasn’t. I also told her that her mother and I didn’t believe in God, but she was free to do so if she wished—that I don’t care as long as she believes in science. We actually send her to Hebrew school, where I occasionally have to deprogram her.

MyNewtBoobs's avatar

@Rarebear So if you don’t believe in God, then why send her to a Hebrew school?

JLeslie's avatar

@papayalily Got it. I would never tell young children I don’t believe in God. I have had children ask me about my religion, and I tell them about Judiasm, but I never inject my beliefs in those discussions. I have never had children ask if I believe in God though, when I was kid or an adult, with one exception. A close friend of mine moved to Alabama in tenth grade, and when I saw her a year later she, with almost disgust in her voice she said, “how can you not believe Jesus is God?” She knew I was Jewish of course. We have never even talked about God before, all the years I knew her, or whether I was an atheist or not. Not that it mattered, just being Jewish was enough for her at that point in time. She had become born again in her new town. She has since let go of trying to convert, or judge other people’s beliefs.

How annoying those neighbors of yours. My mother-in-law who is Catholic, religious, and believes in God, read her neighbor the riot act, because the neighbor and the neighbor’s children kept talking about God and their religion to her elementary aged granddaughter, she is my niece by marriage). If they are high school age I would answer the question truthfully if I was asked directly.

DrewJ's avatar

Because it can be proven that Santa doesn’t exist… well actually you can’t prove a negative, so the better thing to say is that it can be proven that The Parents bring the gifts and not Santa.

In the case with God. However ridiculous or unbelievable the idea of a God is to you, nobody can really prove that he doesn’t exist – because, as I said before, you can’t prove a negative.

So in short…. You can prove one and not the other.

Also, keep in mind, Finding an acceptable cause for how we got here and how we came to exist is much heavier than finding an acceptable cause for how presents show up in your living room one morning.

asmonet's avatar

I don’t see God at the mall every year or ringing bells on every street corner.
Starts to wear on the credibility if he keeps changing his look and you see groups of them together. Plus, religion is set up to allow for the elusiveness of God anyway.

JLeslie's avatar

@Rarebear I think when I was really little I just thought Santa was on tv, movies, and in cartoons. Like Bugs Bunny or Fred Flinstone. Like a story. Then I kind of became aware some kids actually get gifts from Santa, but I think my mom dismissed it as Jewish kids don’t celebrate Christmas, it just was not our gig, not part of our house. However, when I was around the age of 7/8 my girlfriends mom called and said to send my sister and I down to their apartment because santa left gifts for us under her tree since we did not have one. I remember being excited, and a little perplexed.

Is it a reformed Hebrew school?

Rarebear's avatar

@papayalily So she’ll learn Hebrew.

@JLeslie I didn’t tell her when she was a young child, we only started talking about it this year when she was 9, and only because she asked. Yes, it’s a Reform shul.

JLeslie's avatar

@Rarebear Oh 9. By then some of the other kids are figuring out Santa does not exist anyway.

Rarebear's avatar

@JLeslie Oh, we told her about Santa around 6 because she asked. It was the atheism we didn’t bring up until 9.

Rarebear's avatar

And @papayalily I would never tell a child of a theistic parent that I didn’t think God (or Santa) existed. I only had that conversation with my own child. I also had the conversation with my nephew, but he came to me and asked me about it—and I talked to his parents first. (But he was 13 at the time).

JLeslie's avatar

@Rarebear I’m surprised you would have much of a problem in a reformed shul. I would assume many of the families are athiests.

Rarebear's avatar

@JLeslie You got that right. I’m in a havurah where the majority of us are atheists.

JLeslie's avatar

@Rarebear I only know a couple of reformed Jews who believe in God. I would bet 75% of reformed Jews are atheists. Maybe more. Just a guess, I have never seen a stat on that. I have ony seen stats on Jews as a group, all Jews.

Rarebear's avatar

@JLeslie The term is Reform Jew, not Reformed Jew, but I see your point. I wouldn’t put the number that high. Most Jews I know are theistic or deistic of some kind or another. I just self selected my friends.

JLeslie's avatar

@Rarebear I have never been corrected on that. Thank you.

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

@JLeslie What does it matter if they told other kids (I’m talking about @rarebear’s kid)? These are the kids that will grow up into adults and adults interact with “scary” atheists all the time, so better buck up and learn young. And you cherry pick the beliefs you ‘inject’ into conversations with kids? Telling them you don’t believe in god(s) doesn’t mean you’re forcing them not to. My oldest is 4 and a half, he’s never asked about god or santa so it doesn’t matter either way but if he asked me whether I thought there was a god, I would never not tell him what I think and I’d do the same with any other kid that would ask me a question about what I think – not doing so, imo, is a huge disservice to kids – we, as adults, can’t just randomly decide which topics are too controversial to discuss with kids when, clearly, these topics will become relevant to them (and are to kids who freak out if someone says there is no god because they’re so terrified of what their parents have been telling them) very soon.

Rarebear's avatar

Right. Exactly so.

JLeslie's avatar

@Simone_De_Beauvoir When children are very young, when it comes to religion, I think the parents get to decide what is told to their young children about God and religion. I prefer adults don’t tell my children about God, so I would not tell their children there is not one. Even if I present it as I don’t believe in God, and am not trying to influence them, it still creates a conversation that I prefer not to stir up.

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

@JLeslie Oh, I guess we differ on that – I have no issue when people tell my kids about their belief in god (s)...I encourage it…in fact, when the topic comes up, for each religion I will have them talk to a friend of mine who identifies with it so that they can hear about it from someone that believes and then we’ll talk about it…I teach my kids logic and I will encourage them to test that logic against anything they’re told, religion-related or not…I would love for them to interact with people who will show them the bible and have them read it, it’s all good…if I know my kids, it’ll be the perfect antidote. The only thing I do not accept is when people tell my kids that they must believe in god.

JLeslie's avatar

@Simone_De_Beauvoir I think the difference is I am in the bible belt and you are in NY. Evangelical Christians talk about God like it is the only truth. The people around you are more likely to talk about their religion and what they believe as a learning, to understand them and their beliefs.

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

@JLeslie Yeah, I have no evangelical Christian friends…I think Nullo is my only one and he doesn’t talk to my kids (besides, he’d be fine with them, I know that)...I do tell my kids that people think all kinds of things are ‘the only truth’ – this comes up a lot in terms of gender and what others think boys should act like and how incredibly important it is to some people that this is seen as infallible. I tell my kids pretty much daily ‘question everything, question your parents, question authority, question what you’re told and use your brain’.

Rarebear's avatar

It’s not a subject that generally comes up between my friends and me, actually. When it does, it’s a comfortable subject. But my friends don’t talk to my daughter about it, though.

I think its because the existence of Santa is challengeable. No one challenges God’s existence because it is taboo.

lillycoyote's avatar

@papayalily I would really like to see some evidence, the result of some kind of scientifically sound study that indicates that “children accept that there is no Santa but not that there is no God” before I could even accept the premise of your question, let alone attempt to answer or explain it. Do “children accept that there is no Santa but not that there is no God?” Do you have evidence of this assertion? If you do, please cite it.

MyNewtBoobs's avatar

@lillycoyote Lol Well, aren’t you just having a ball? :D

Nullo's avatar

Because God makes more sense than Santa, anyway.
Also, parents do not believe in Santa, even if they do believe in God. Kids learn from their parents, and conviction shows.

MyNewtBoobs's avatar

@Nullo A man who floods the Earth to kill all living things because they’re evil (except the fish and other sea creatures) makes more sense than a jolly old guy who delivers presents? To kids? I mean, hell, take out the magic and my grandfather is Santa Claus.
I think a lot of parents go pretty out of their way to convince their kids of Santa – I know mine did.

Nullo's avatar

@papayalily If you can manage to keep from being hyperbolically synecdotal in your descriptions of God, then yes. God is consistent. Santa, not so much.

Like I said, no parent (leastways, none that I’ve met) actually believes in Santa Claus. You can tell whether or not a person believes something, if you observe long enough. Kids learn from parents.

“Tell a man there are 300 million stars in the sky and he’ll believe you. Tell him a bench has wet paint on it and he’ll have to touch it to be sure.”

mammal's avatar

Because you cannot conflate the two, i personally am weary of the tooth fairy, and the unicorn hypothesis too, if that is how you relate to God then of course it is bogus. They are false comparisons. But having said that, in so far as God is represented by the Mainstream Christian right in America one would have to have taken leave of their senses, both rational and compassionate in order to subscribe to such a perverse doctrine. So it’s no wonder such confusion reigns.

The American Christian right is not a religious institution at all, it is a violent anti Leftist, anti intellectual league. God is there to ensure that people don’t take the trouble to exercise their capacity to think critically, because God cannot be thunk just followed.

JLeslie's avatar

I think @Nullo has a point. Parents who believe in God and raise their children with God are talking about it a lot also. Lots of conditioning going on (please no one be offended by my use of the term conditioning, remember I am talking about 8 year olds here) and the child perceives it is important to the parent, and something which simply is a fact. Parents don’t spend tons of time mentioning Santa, or bringing their children weekly to a place that teaches children about Santa, and they don’t pray to Santa every night before they go to bed and even some possibly every day before dinner. Santa it is a once a year magical thing.

Now realize that on the recent fluther thread about whether God is a Republican or a Democrat my answer was Santa is God. Judges if you are bad or good. Lol.

Anemone's avatar

I was going to say something similar to that, @JLeslie. Santa only comes up once a year and in the grand scheme of things, isn’t a big deal. God is a year-round concern for many people, and there’s a whole lot of infra-structure built around the idea, so if the parents (or other important people) talk about it like it’s a fact, children absorb that idea.

Also, even if a family is agnostic, atheist, or just plain non-religious, the idea of God is probably more of a non-issue than something they actively teach against, so in that case the child might be influenced by other people who say God is real. The child might begin to think there is a God, it’s just not something his or her own family talks about. Santa, on the other hand, is always more ambiguous.

Justice13's avatar

…it’s because God himself still believe Santa exists!

mattbrowne's avatar

Because many parents obviously don’t know that Santa Claus actually existed and that today’s Santa remains a symbol to commemorate Nikolaos of Myra’s secret gift-giving.

The misconception that we can’t prove a negative remains also quite widespread.
