2000 Years in 12 Courses: A Clothing History Celebration

For our end-of-unit celebration, I decided we'd have a big feast, with one course representing each historical era we studied. As we ate each course, we reviewed the clothing styles for the corresponding era and talked about various political and social events that occurred during that time period. Each child chose an era to focus specifically on, and gave a little oral report about it. They each made a project to go along with their era, too. Some of us dressed up in "historical clothing" of one of the eras.

Here are the (fairly subjective—after all, it's hard to whittle down periods of tens or hundreds of years to just one or two characteristic foods! Still, these were all things that seemed representative to me!) foods we ate and the historical eras that went with them:
1. Classical world: Pita Bread, Olive Oil, Olives, Feta
2. Middle Ages: Bacon, (Root) Beer
3. French court (1600's): Melon (a favorite food of Louis IV)
4. Age of Revolution (1700-1800): Tea (representing Boston Tea Party), Baguette (representing the Grain Riots in France)
5. Regency/Victorian eras (1800-1900): Hot drinking chocolate, Shrewsbury Cakes
6. Edwardian era (1900-1910): Cucumber Sandwiches (as mentioned in "The Importance of Being Earnest")
7. World War I: Homemade Donuts (referencing the Salvation Army serving donuts to soldiers, who were called "doughboys")
8. 1920s: Pointes d’asperges a la Mistinguette, a la Anatole (a food referenced in one of the Jeeves stories by P.G. Wodehouse—see the rest of the menu here). Could also have done Tapioca Pudding to reference "Thoroughly Modern Millie."
9. 1930s-1940s: Fritos, Cheerioats (Fritos and Cheerios, called "Cheerioats," were first made in the 1930s)
10. 1950s: Deviled Eggs, Jello
11. 1960s:  Tunnel of Fudge Cake, Celery with Cream Cheese
12. Modern Times: Fruit Smoothie, Salted Caramels
Daisy and Junie dressed up as beautiful Victorian ladies. Well, they were really trying to be ladies of the French Court, but the tutus they wore under my skirts looked more like crinolines than like farthingales or panniers. Still, at least they got the birds in their hair! :)
Abe gave a presentation about the Victorian Era. He wore a top hat and cravat. Very handsome.
Malachi talked about the 1920s. He wore a bowler hat and made a banjolele like Bertie Wooster's.
Seb talked about the 1950s and made a model cockpit of the 1952 Cessa 172 Skyhawk. As you can see, none of instruments are digital!

You may wonder if it is possible to eat 12 courses in one meal! It is difficult. But not impossible. The key is just having tiny bits of each thing. We loved it. (But I do wonder how in the world Louis XIV managed meals with forty-four courses, or equally preposterous numbers!)

This was such a fun celebration and a good review of all the historical eras we'd been studying. We hope to do it again someday! :)

The perils of international purchase

If there is one thing that the EU ought to have done and has failed to do, it is to standardise the labelling on women's clothing. I don't care which system we adopt, but when 38, 40, 42 are the same size** depending which country of various adjacent countries you are in, it is unhelpful.

Which is to say that the mail order clothing from this post has arrived. Alas, though the ski jacket is a very acceptable shade of pinky lilac, I gambled on the sizing because they didn't have mine and it is far too small. I knew that was a risk, because they didn't have my best guess as to my size, but it is so small that it might be that they did have my size, it's just that my assumption the Czech Republic uses German sizing rather than French was wrong. However I suspect that two sizes up will be far too big around the ribs (for some reason ski jackets always are. Come on, amateurs are not built like Olympians), so I may not bother trying again. Annoyingly the retailer has some gorgeous Halti jackets and I know what size I am in those because I borrowed my sister's, but if I ordered one it wouldn't arrive until I was actually on holiday. So I think that I might leave it for now and see if there are any sales when I get there.

Naturally, after the above, the Norwegian thermals I bought in the same order put the "long" into "long underwear", and I am going to need to chop 1.5 inches off the legs and fold back the wrist cuffs a bit. But I am keeping them because they are otherwise excellent and the only ones I've seen that have wool on the outside and polyester on the inside, so they should manage to be warm and not smelly and not itchy. The latter can never be guaranteed, but fingers crossed.

There Will Be Blood

There Will Be Blood

By Mike Callicrate

“I’m finished,” said Daniel Plainview, as he sat flat on the floor, drunk, blood oozing from the head of the young man whose skull he had just crushed.

Plainview loved money. He loved power. He had plenty of both. As a man who admittedly hated people, he would do anything — anything — to get more money and more power.

In 1927, Upton Sinclair published the novel, Oil! At the time, Sinclair was already well known for writing what has become one of our country’s great literary works, The Jungle, which exposed the abusive and sickening meatpacking monopoly of the day. Now Eric Schlosser has brought Sinclair’s story of oil industry greed back to life in a cinematic version called “There Will Be Blood.”

While viewing this prospect for “Best Picture of the Year,” you may find yourself thinking about where we are today in a society driven by big oil, big meatpacking, big retail, big banking, etc. It’s been nearly one hundred years since Sinclair exposed the meatpacking jungle, the oil cartel, and the greed and ruthlessness of unregulated big business. And it has been nearly one hundred years since our government broke up the monopolistic business trusts.

After viewing the film and experiencing its troubling and vivid display of the worst tendencies of human nature, you might feel — like I do — that we are fully back to the days when profit and power were valued at all costs over people. How far will today’s big business go to increase its own wealth and how far will an independent businessman be pushed in order to compete in a no-holds-barred arena with such dominating and perverse power?

I can say from my perspective in the cattle and meat business that we are certainly back to The Jungle in the meat processing industry. As we fill up our cars and pay our winter heating bills, surely we can’t help noticing the parallels to the old monopoly of Standard Oil.

Today, an unhealthy obsession with money and power has bloodied farmers, ranchers and working people. Like Daniel Plainview, the darkly demented protagonist of Schlosser’s film, our ruthless big business/government partnership will not rest until it finishes wrecking our country.

Crowdfunding Tips

Just wanted to share a link to the crowdfunding piece I did awhile back for Filmmaker Magazine. Here's the link (also pasting the text below). Good luck!

After my very successful crowdfunding campaign this summer I’ve been asked repeatedly for tips and advice by numerous other filmmakers. In the spirit of helpful guidance (and to make it easier to deal with as people keep asking me to share this info) here are my tips and guidelines. I did my campaign on Kickstarter but these guidelines are equally applicable on Indiegogo and other platforms.

1) Make sure your description is compelling, as concise as possible and conveys urgency. Click the link to see mine — you can decide whether you think it’s compelling, but in any case it was effective. Before posting I ran mine past a couple of folks for feedback and got really good input. Definitely take the time to do this and make your description the best it can be.

2) Highlight what’s important. It is fine to have lots of text that scrolls down the page, but put the important stuff up top. You should also remind people to look in the right column to pick a reward level (believe it or not there are many people who have never given to a crowdfunding campaign before).

3) Make a compelling, good-looking video that demonstrates that you know what you’re doing. A trailer featuring actual footage from your project is ideal since it gives the viewer an impression of what the film will really look like. If you can make a well-produced and creative pitch with you describing the project and explaining why you need the money that’s great too.

4) Include a sample pre-written text that people can share to Twitter and FB to help spread the word. Always make it as easy as possible for people to help you. And remember that this templated text should be succinct but have all the relevant info — see my example on my Kickstarter page and don’t forget to include the donation deadline.

5) Prep before you launch. You can write bits of promo text ahead of time for some of the landmark steps along the way — look in my “Updates” and copy/modify my text if you like. Examples of text you’ll need includes: Launch blurb (“Yee-ha! My brand new campaign, please help, etc.”), 24-hour announcement to maintain momentum (“In just 24 hours we’ve raised $X, help us keep it up!”), 48-hour ditto, text for nearing and hitting landmarks like $5K, $10K, etc. (“We’re approaching $3K, who will put us over the top?” OR “We just hit $5K, Only XK more to go!”); we did it/stretch goal (“We hit our goal, thanks! Now we’re going to reach for XK more”), thank-you blurbs (spend time composing heartfelt thank you text that is really meaningful and sincere), some sponsor plugs (“X person/business was really helpful and we want to acknowledge them”), etc. Some of this text you will use for posting as updates to your Kickstarter page, some for your personal Facebook and Twitter, some for emails, etc.

6) Plan your outreach. Make a list of blogs and press outlets and organizations with newsletters and social media pages (especially Facebook and Twitter) where you can get press or simple social media shares. Think about your constituencies for the film and hit the appropriate targets (for me the category targets I hit were: LGBT, lesbian, butch, experimental film, documentary film, indie film).

Standard great opportunities: Reach out to Indiewire to see if you can be a Project of the Day and Project of the Week! Ask Filmmaker Magazine to showcase your project on their Kickstarter page or run an item. If you are a Sundance alum they offer a ton of helpful ways to get exposure (as well as a Kickstarter deal). If you have had previous films at other festivals reach out and ask them if they can post about your project on their social media pages. (Write the text you want them to post and send it to them so all they have to do is cut and paste.) Determine any relevant organization or media outlet you can think of — reach out and ask them to help you spread the word.

I did all this outreach in the first few days and since it takes time to make them all happen I had a nice staggered series of exposure. And then each time you get press or posts you post an update about it to your Kickstarter page and to your FB, Twitter, etc. (“Our project was just showcased on!”)

I also wrote a few different personal pleas that went out to my email address book (I created a newsletter using MailChimp — which is free but takes time to set-up — to make it easier to send out these announcements). Of course, people find it annoying to get so many emails, but I put creativity and effort into asking people to humor me and I think it was bearable for them. If you do create an email newsletter and start sending it to people, do NOT just toss your whole address book in there — handpick the people who you genuinely believe will be interested in your project. In this day and age of too much email it is rude and obnoxious to add people to lists simply because you happen to have their email address.

I also wrote a standard appeal to various VIPs — people I know who are particularly influential — asking them not directly for donations but simply to help me get the word out by sharing to their Facebook pages. This was very effective in getting the word out beyond my own contacts (and many of them also chose to make contributions).

7) Focus the length of your campaign. I recommend 30 days for the campaign (mine was about 27 because I wanted it to end on a certain date and it took a few days to get it approved). Even a bit shorter could be good. I would not suggest doing it any longer than this. It is an exhausting process to maintain momentum for such a long period if time.

8) Be smart with rewards. The reward levels are really important. Try to give a good selection of relatively low-level options. And try to make your rewards be things you don’t have to physically mail (which will cost money and time). Look at mine and you’ll see what I mean. That said, be creative. People do want to be charitable but many people also really are motivated by the rewards.

Note: Kickstarter was a stickler that the rewards had to have a direct relationship to me (in the approval process they insisted I be explicit that it was something I made or was directly involved in — not sure if this is a standard thing or if they were just giving me hard time, it was kind of surprising).

9) Be confident and gracious in everything you do. You will have a great response and lots of folks will want to help you — both with donations and with helping spread the word. That said, you have to be pretty relentless about it. I found it really exhausting and would stay up until 1:00 AM prepping things and writing thank you notes.

10) Be thankful. That’s another thing. Have a heartfelt thank you note template ready to go and send individual thank you’s to each donor as they come in (I would do them in batches at the end of the day or every couple of days). As part of the note be sure you also include the templated sample FB text asking them to share with their pals. On a related note you can also try to post public thank you’s on Facebook and Twitter where you tag people who gave (FYI — there is a Facebook limit that you can only tag 10 people in each post).

11) Don’t be rude with your outreach. More on outreach: I also — crazy but true — did extensive outreach on Facebook, asking pages like Butch Nation if they could please share and sometimes posting directly on their walls (but do not do that unless it is a page where people really will experience it as interesting rather than feeling spammed). When people do campaigns and just post them on my personal wall without making a request — I delete them. Don’t be rude. Do be gracious and clever and authentic so your text is a pleasure to read. It makes a huge difference in how people will respond to you.

Of course you will find that there are unlimited things you can do for outreach, and you need to prioritize what will be most effective. I also sent direct messages to ALL of the LGBT film festivals (via Twitter, FB and email) with the templated sharing text for them to use — asking them to help spread the word. And also sent DMs to almost all of my Twitter followers like so:

Hi! Could u Plz RT: Last Day! New #lesbian film The Royal Road by @JenniOlsonSF needs help to finish!

I did this using the Twitter app on my iPhone several times during the course of the campaign (you can do it while waiting at doctor’s office, in line at the school curbside pick-up lane, etc.). This was very effective in spreading the word.

Another great thing to do is sign up for HootSuite and schedule a variety of tweets which include your link (I included quotes from my film, calls to action and mentions of press coverage with tags of those outlets in hopes they would also RT). It’s great because you can do it all at once in a few sittings. And remember to also keep doing your regular tweeting and posting of other interesting things not related to your film so people don’t forget why they love following you. Some examples:

I’m up for Project of the Week on @indiewire! Please VOTE for my #LGBT film THE ROYAL ROAD.

Please Help — ONLY 2-HOURS LEFT to support my new #butch #lesbian film, The Royal Road on Kickstarter. Thx!

“By reconnecting us to our humanity, I believe nostalgia could be the very thing that saves us.” Support my film:

Also, loop in your creative team (DP, editor, cast, etc.) and ask them to do postings as much as possible (and tag them as much as you can so they also have the experience of being publicly appreciated).

I also had sponsors for the house party I did and did a few social media thank you’s where I tagged them.

Other miscellaneous promotional things:

° I had my daughter make me a sign saying “I need more money.” And took a photo of me holding it and posted to FB and Kickstarter.
° Post an excerpt from the script or anything special that makes people feel looped in or excited.
° Post images of cast (in my case, production stills of landscapes).
° You can do an additional promo video if you have energy for it.
° I also did a thing mid-way thru where if people doubled their donations they got the higher level benefits (this didn’t really have much impact).
° Grab some of the great comments that people make about you as they spread the word and re-post them on FB and Kickstarter.
° Look through my Kickstarter updates and you can see all the ones I did and the text I used.

I’m sure you will have even more creative ideas.

12) Post frequently. Did I mention the frequency of your posting about the campaign? Do not be shy about posting on your personal Facebook page numerous times a day every day for the whole campaign. But do try to make the posts interesting each time (I would post as I was approaching a landmark — “Almost at $3,000 — who can put me over the top?” and it was VERY effective). And also try to keep posting about other things as well (don’t let people forget why they find you charming and interesting).

You will also be wanting to post updates on Kickstarter. These can go either to backers only or to anyone looking at the page. Every few days is good for this. When you post remember that these folks have already given you money so you should now be doing two things. Saying thank you every time you post and asking them to help you keep spreading the word (always provide them with a bit of sample text to share on Facebook or Twitter to make it easier for them). And always include the donation link in every single post you make.

At the very end — in the last few days — you should do everything you can to think of every single possible person you can ask for help and send them a short actual personal email saying: “Dear NAME — There are only a few days left in my crowdfunding campaign. Please help me and be part of this important project.” And include a short description of your project. You really should be investing several hours a day in these last few days and try to make your requests as personal as possible. And always include your exact deadline (please give by Midnight, Wednesday, July 10th).

13) Use your signature footer. One more really good tip (see my signature file below). Include your short description and donation link in your sig file so it is always there in ALL of your correspondence.

Jenni Olson
Writer-Director, The Royal Road
Like: The Royal Road on Facebook
Follow: @JenniOlsonSF
Donate (it’s tax-deductible):

° The Royal Road is a lyrical new film contemplating butch lesbian desire, nostalgia, Casanova, a history of the Mexican-American War and so much more. °

14) Lastly, FYI — brevity is good. This was the most successful post I did in terms of getting donations:

Subject: Only a few days left — Please donate NOW

Short and sweet: I need your help! It’s the final few days of my Kickstarter campaign. Please click thru to make a donation now (before Midnight, Wednesday July 10th) to support my new film, The Royal Road.

It really only takes a moment.

Thank you so much!

Feel free to plagiarize this message, and any of the text on my Kickstarter page. Okay, that’s it. Go forth and prosper!

Actually — one last final note especially for LGBT films and filmmakers:

You should also sign up for my PQProfessionals list serv (it is a list serv with hundreds of LGBT filmmakers, distributors, programmers, journalists and all kinds of LGBT film professionals). It is a very helpful place to seek guidance and make connections with people you should know. Just go here to subscribe.

There is also a Facebook page version.

That’s it! Good luck! And if anyone has additional tips and guidance to contribute please post in the comments field below — it takes a village!

Lawyer in Greene lawsuit asks to expand city’s e-mail search

Detroit— A lawyer representing the family of slain exotic dancer Tamara “Strawberry” Greene wants to expand a search of the city of Detroit’s e-mail system for clues that could show whether ex-Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick or others obstructed an investigation into her unsolved death.

Greene family lawyer Kirkland Garey filed a request Thursday in U.S. District Court in Detroit asking to perform keyword searches of e-mails belonging to every city employee. He wants a federal judge to allow a search of e-mail accounts belonging to Kilpatrick, former Police Chief Ella Bully-Cummings and Christine Beatty, the ex-mayor’s mistress and former chief of staff.

A similar request was rejected last year because it was considered overly broad and excessively burdensome. But Garey is trying again because a Detroit computer employee’s testimony in December contradicted the city’s earlier claim that keyword searches were impossible.

Krystal Crittendon, head of the city’s Law Department, could not be reached immediately for comment. The city wants the case dismissed.

The request comes less than two weeks before a March 7 hearing at which Kilpatrick, Beatty and other current and former city officials are expected to testify in the civil case.

Garey also wants permission to question Kilpatrick and others at the hearing about city e-mails from Sept. 1, 2002, to present. U.S. Magistrate Judge R. Steven Whalen has limited the questioning to the period from Aug. 1, 2002, to June 30, 2003.

Greene, who allegedly danced at a rumored but never proven party at the Manoogian Mansion, was killed in an unsolved drive-by shooting in 2003.

Among other things, Garey wants to search emails for references to a Manoogian party and communications between former Attorney General Mike Cox and ex-Detroit Corporation Counsel Ruth Carter, who is now a judge in 36th District Court.

SONG OF THE DAY – “HEARTS ON FIRE” by Passenger with Ed Sheeran

November 8, 2013

Two buttons today? Unfortunately this song is not yet available on iTunes, so I have given you links to both of their individual albums. I will let you know the minute “Hearts on Fire” is released!

Download_on_iTunes_Badge_US-UK_110x40_1004            Download_on_iTunes_Badge_US-UK_110x40_1004

This is pretty typical of me with music. I find songs that I love and then I have to wait for them to be released. It’s torture! 😉

I have iTunes accounts in both the US and the UK so that I can purchase music off both sites. Often I can only find a  song on the UK iTunes site because it has not been (and may never be) released here. That is also true with Spotify. Anyway, I love both of these artists and I am anxiously waiting for this song to be released. I will let you know the minute I find out!

A short little story to share about Ed Sheeran. We have been listening to Ed for many years. In fact, the first time I posted a Song of the Day by Ed Sheeran was in 2011. I was so excited about his music and then I learned that he had come to my kids’ school in London to  perform at a high school assembly during the 2009-10 school year. How cool is that?! He even “friended” many of the kids after that performance. My daughter laughs that she was once “Facebook Friends” with Ed Sheeran rather than just a “Fan.” He is one of the most amazing live performers I have ever seen. It is just him up on that stage alone and it is awesome! He is wildly popular now and his concert tickets are difficult to get your hands on, but if you ever have the chance … go see him. I think it will be the first time you will ever get “shooshed” by a performer. I am a huge fan!

Everything in the Vatican II Church is false – except the “Pope”?

The Absurdity of the Recognize-and-Resist Position demonstrated in two easy-to-understand Memes

Some things are easier to grasp in simple memes than in pages upon pages of text. We have produced the following two memes to illustrate the folly of the pseudo-traditionalist “recognize-and-resist” position, according to which one must recognize the papal claimants after Pius XII as valid Popes but resist them in whatever they teach, legislate, etc., that appears to one contrary to the pre-Vatican II Magisterium.

Depsite its inherent absurdity and anti-Catholic nature, this position is very popular, perhaps because it promises “the best of both worlds”, so to speak: One gets all the comfort and convenience of having a Pope and a hierarchy, all the while being exempt from the pesky problems associated with submitting to Modernists.

The Catholic Teaching on the Papacy

A Collection of Quotes from Magisterial Documents

In our day there are a lot of people who call themselves, and mean to be, traditional Roman Catholics. Yet a great many of them do not hold to the traditional Catholic understanding of the Papacy, either because they do not know it or because they unhappily accept the “Popes” after Pius XII as valid and legitimate but know that they cannot submit to them without abandoning the traditional Catholic Faith. The tragic irony in the latter case is that by denying the Catholic teaching on the Papacy, they are abandoning the Faith just as much.

A papal reality check…

A Conspiracy against the Catholic Church?

The True Popes Speak

When discussing the issue of Sedevacantism with Novus Ordos, it is not uncommon that someone will dismiss it on the grounds that it involves a “conspiracy”; and of course nothing is more absurd to contemporary man than giving credence to a position that differs from what most others hold to be the obvious truth.

Two thousand years ago, our Blessed Lord taught: “…the truth shall make you free” (Jn 8:32). People who love and seek the truth ought to be concerned about, not whether something involves a conspiracy, but whether it is true.

It’s tough when your ‘Pope’ isn’t a Catholic…

Capital Chaos: Francis Adherents scramble to explain Catechism Change on Death Penalty (Part 1)

In his Letter to Priests for Holy Thursday of 1993, “Pope” John Paul II noted that the so-called Catechism of the Catholic Church he had just promulgated a few months earlier is directly linked with the Second Vatican Council: “The Catechism presents the ‘newness of the Council’, and at the same time situates it in the whole of Tradition” (source; italics removed). The Vatican II Modernists have always had success in driving their revolution forward by balancing their novelties with paying lipservice to Sacred Tradition, in continuity with which the new religion is claimed to stand.

Conciliar Catechism chaos…

Bergoglio’s Lethal Injection:
Chaos ensues after Francis’ Death Penalty Update

Now that a few days have passed since Francis’ little aggiornamento to the so-called Catechism of the Catholic Church, it is time for a look at the chaos his move of declaring capital punishment to be contrary to the Gospel and human dignity, has caused in Novus Ordo Land.

The word “chaos” here is no exaggeration: The reactions to the amendment reflect the entire spectrum of those who profess themselves to be Roman Catholics and acknowledge the man’s claim to be Pope as valid, from ultra-liberal to hyper-traditionalist.

A Catholic injection lethal to Modernism…

Episode 36 –
Special Edition

“Pope” Francis and the Death Penalty

With all the kerfuffle about Francis’ decree of Aug. 2, 2018, amending the text of the Catechism of the Vatican II religion with regard to capital punishment, host Stephen Heiner has invited Bp. Donald Sanborn and Fr. Anthony Cekada to meet for an “emergency session” to discuss the issue and its implications, such as:

  • What did Francis actually decree, and what motivated this change?
  • Is this theologically sound or defensible?
  • How does this square with the traditional Catholic teaching on the death penalty?

Jorge discovers “human dignity”…

Francis makes Official Change to Catechism: Death Penalty now universally “inadmissible” because an Attack on the Human Person

Breaking news from the Vatican: After nearly 2,000 years, a layman pretending to be Pope has uncovered what the Gospel “really teaches” regarding human dignity and the death penalty.

Under his stage name “Pope Francis”, the Argentinian apostate Jorge Bergoglio has decreed that a change be made to the 1997 typical edition of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, a work originally promulgated by the non-existent “apostolic authority” of the Polish apostate bishop Karol Wojtyla (stage name: “Pope John Paul II”).

Old wine, new wineskin…

Subjective Morality: The Error of Amoris Laetitia Condemned and Refuted before Vatican II

“Nothing under the sun is new”, King Solomon writes in Sacred Scripture, “neither is any man able to say: Behold this is new: for it hath already gone before in the ages that were before us” (Eccl 1:10).

This is true also for “Pope” Francis’ allegedly new approach regarding sexual morality that he proposes in his infernal exhortation Amoris Laetitia, by which he slyly undermines all of Catholic morality by redefining the nature of sin and finding elements of virtue in vice, all under the guise of “mercy” and “accompaniment.” Yes, it turns out that this oh-so new “solution” from the “god of surprises” isn’t so new after all, doesn’t solve anything, and of course the only surprise you will get is one at the Last Judgment.

The debate continues…

Novus Ordo vs. Sedevacantist Discussion, Part 2

The Catholic vs. podcast is a Novus Ordo podcast produced and hosted by David Mary Andrew Ross. The host, who is a convert to the Vatican II Church from atheism (2009), interviews guests who have a religious position different from his own. The format is informal and conversational, and the idea is to generate light rather than heat.

On Sep. 30, 2017, in an episode entitled Catholic vs. Catholic, the host interviewed sedevacantist Stephen Heiner, an episode we featured on this blog. The audio is still available and can be listened to here.

The case of Galatians 2:11-14…

The “St. Paul resisted St. Peter to his Face” Objection

Time and again we hear from those we call Semi-Traditionalists the argument that a Pope can lead the faithful astray into errors against the Faith through the exercise of his non-infallible Magisterium; and when that happens, it is then the right and the duty of the victim faithful to resist him, clinging to “Tradition”.

Those who defend this position often point to an incident that occurred between St. Paul and St. Peter recorded in Galatians 2:11-14, as supposed historical precedent for an error-teaching Pope being corrected and resisted by his inferiors.

Change of position in favor of Sedeprivationism…

Theological Earthquake at Virginia Trad Chapel: Fr. Ronald Ringrose abandons Recognize-and-Resist Position

St. Athanasius Church in Vienna, Virginia, established in 1968

Let’s cut right to the chase: Fr. Ronald Ringrose, the pastor of St. Athanasius Church in Vienna, Virginia, has publicly repudiated his long-time theological position of recognizing the papal claimants since Vatican II as valid but resisting them in their magisterium and their government of the church (commonly known as the “recognize-and-resist” position).

Realizing that the position is plainly contrary to the traditional teaching of the Catholic Church, Fr. Ringrose began to disavow it publicly in three of his parish bulletins in January 2018.

Episode 34

Sedevacantist Clergy dissect the Latest from “Pope” Francis

Listen on demand at any time — free!

For the first time since late 2014, Novus Ordo Watch is pleased once again to sponsor for our readers and listeners — and anyone else who may be interested — the phenomenal podcast program Francis Watch, in which host Stephen Heiner of True Restoration analyses with his sedevacantist guests, Bishop Donald J. Sanborn and Fr. Anthony Cekada, the latest chaos perpetrated by Jorge Bergoglio, otherwise known as “Pope Francis.”

In this episode no. 34, His Excellency and Father discuss:

Tip: Don’t let a Novus Ordo priest write your foreword…

A Foreword Gone Awry:
SSPX issues Disclaimer concerning Fr. Robinson’s New Book

The theological absurdistan known as the “position of the Society of St. Pius X” is once again on full display. This time it has to do with the fact that the SSPX, so hell-bent on joining up with the apostate post-Catholic Vatican, decided to have a new book by one of its own priests published by a Novus Ordo publishing company, the UK-based Gracewing.

The book in question is The Realist Guide to Religion and Science by Fr.

Bergoglio has a “correction” to make…

“Pope” Francis wants to change the Our Father

[Update: You can also listen also to our mini podcast discussing this topic]

Ladies and gentlemen, we can all breathe easier now: After 2,000 years of Catholics praying the Lord’s Prayer incorrectly, Mr. Jorge Bergoglio (aka “Pope Francis”) has now come to deliver Christendom from a frightening “mistranslation” of the words revealed directly by the Lord Jesus Christ: The line in the Our Father that says “And lead us not into temptation” is a thorn in the side of the Jesuit apostate, since it insinuates, so he claims, that God would ever tempt His own children to sin, which is not something a father would do.

Clarification appears in ‘Acta Apostolicae Sedis’…

Novus Ordos in Shock as Francis declares Permissibility of Communion for Public Adulterers “Authentic Magisterium”

Analysis & Commentary

After more than 19 months of reports, analyses, arguments, interviews, rumors, conjectures, accusations, excuses, warnings, “corrections”, promises, allusions, and plenty of spin, the “doubts” about the correct interpretation of Francis’ “Apostolic” Exhortation Amoris Laetitia have now been officially put to rest: In a tacit move behind the scenes, Francis ordered that his Sep. 2016 endorsement of the interpretation offered by the Argentine “bishops” of the Buenos Aires region for their flock become a part of his (putative) “authentic Magisterium” and be included in the Acta Apostolicae Sedis, which is the official Vatican organ publishing papal texts and decisions.

Consultation ends today on the finer details of the NSW government’s deeply unpopular Biodiversity Conservation and Local Land Services Amendment Acts. The National Parks Association of NSW (NPA) is urging the government to close loopholes and rein in self-assessable codes in order to salvage some protections for NSW’s beleaguered flora and fauna.

NPA CEO Kevin Evans said: “These laws have been, from the very beginning, a political witch hunt.

“A small group of rogue agribusinesses were hell bent on striking down the Native Vegetation Act in order to perform a modern equivalent of slash and burn agriculture.

“We’ve seen shocking allegations in the media about political interference in land clearing investigations; images of burning vegetation thought to be illegally cleared and even witnessed the murder of a compliance officer from the Office of Environment and Heritage who was investigating land clearing.

“It’s from these murky depths that the new laws have surfaced. So it’s no shock they’re not fit for purpose.”

NPA Senior Ecologist, Dr Oisín Sweeney said: “If the government’s serious about protecting the environment, we have made some recommendations that will make a big difference.

“The Equity Code should be scrapped because it permits broad-scale land clearing. This was never intended in the original review of biodiversity legislation and is a key reason Professor Hugh Possingham resigned from the independent panel.

“The Farm Plan Code should be scrapped because this permits the clearing of paddock trees and woodland patches that are vital havens of biodiversity throughout the sheep-wheat belt. It also places the entire onus of identifying ecological communities onto farmers which is just not fair.

“Exclusions from code-based clearing must apply to vulnerable and endangered ecological communities and species, not just critically endangered.

“The Travelling Stock Route network should immediately be declared an Area of Outstanding Biodiversity Value in recognition of its importance both to nature conservation and cultural heritage.

“And the implementation of the entire scheme must be delayed until critical missing pieces of the puzzle are finalised and exhibited. These include the maps, the government’s koala strategy, the grasslands assessment method, the biodiversity conservation investment strategy and the new Vegetation State Environment Planning Policy.

“Importantly, Local Land Services must conclude recruitment and staff training well before implementation. As the primary front line agency implementing these reforms, failing to ensure they’re prepared will result in serious but avoidable problems and a lack of transparency.

“Turning on the legislation before all the pieces are in place is asking for confusion and inviting mistakes.”

Description for Vinca (Red)

The clear crisp flowers and glossy green leaves of annual vinca are so perfect you may be tempted to rub them to see if they are real.

A grower once reported that he has grown Vinca in the same location for 30 years.It successfully reseeded itself each year, with no effort on his part.The plants are grown for its attractive glossy, green foliage, as well as its flowers.

Vinca plants are subshrubs or herbaceous, and have slender trailing stems 1 to 2 m (3 to 6 feet) long but not growing more than 20 to 70 cm (8 to 30 inches) above ground; the stems frequently take root where they touch the ground, enabling the plant to spread widely. The leaves are opposite, simple broad lanceolate to ovate, 1 to 9 cm (0.25 to 3.5 inches) long and 0.5 to 6 cm (0.25 to 2.25 inches) broad; they are evergreen in four species, but deciduous in the herbaceous V. herbacea, which dies back to the root system in winter.

The flowers, produced through most of the year, are salverform (like those of Phlox), simple, 2.5 to 7 cm (1 to 3 inches) broad, with five usually violet (occasionally white) petals joined together at the base to form a tube. The fruit consists of a pair of divergent follicles; a dry fruit which is dehiscent along one rupture site in order to release seeds.

Annual vinca plants are of the genus Cartharanthus, a member of the Apocynaceae family. This is a case where paying attention to the Latin name is helpful: you must distinguish the annual vinca flower from the perennial vinca minor vine, which forms a dense mat and can be invasive.

Common name Flower colours Bloom time Height Difficulty
Vinca (White), Madagascar periwinkle, Myrtle, Nitya Pushpa, Vinca Plant comes in various colors like Pink,light pink, red, white Annual Plants grow 1-2 feet tall. It s easy to grow

Planting and care

Vinca is commonly used for borders, edging, and ground cover or bedding plants.

Sunlight Soil Water Temperature Fertilizer
Full sun is best, although some afternoon shade is fine Any Time of soil use Water the vinca only when the surrounding soil becomes completely dry. Give the plants water only during the morning to allow time for drops of moisture to dry before nightfall. 26 to 30 degree C Fertilize the plants once a month with a 10-10-10 nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium water-soluble fertilizer. Mix 1 teaspoon of fertilizer with 1 gallon of water, or according to the instructions on the package. Apply the fertilizer in place of a watering.

Caring for Vinca

  • Vinca or Periwinkle will grow in range of light conditions, from full sun to shade.
  • They will do well in average soils. They are both heat and drought tolerant.
  • This makes Vinca ideal in hot, dry parts of the country where other flowers will wither and wilt.
  • Space Vinca plants 12-15 inches apart. Water well, when planting. Once plants are established, water only during extended droughts.
  • Add a general purpose fertilizer once or twice a season.
  • Mulch around plants in dry areas to help retain soil moisture.

Typical uses of Vinca

Special features: The low care nature of vinca plants helps them succeed in window boxes and other garden containers.

Medicinal use: Lowering blood pressure, Lowering sugar levels for diabetics,Treatment for coughs, colds, sore throats,Treating eye and lung infections.

Hiram takes legal swing at Senate today

ALBANY — Disgraced former Sen. Hiram Monserrate will be in Manhattan federal court today seeking to reverse his ouster from the Senate, as well as Gov. Paterson’s plan to fill his seat in a special election.

The legal action, delayed a day because the federal courts were closed for the snowstorm, will seek a temporary retraining order barring the Senate from enforcing the expulsion of the Queens Democrat.

The Senate “does not have the constitutional and legal authority to do so — and even if it did, the action has not been consistent with due process of law,” said his lawyer, Norman Siegel.

Siegel said his action would also seek to halt the special election called for March 15 by Paterson just hours after the Senate voted 53-8 Tuesday night to oust Monserrate, who was convicted on a misdemeanor charge of assaulting his girlfriend.

Even if a restraining order is granted, it will come too late to halt Monserrate’s persona-non-grata status. All references to him in Albany — including an office-door nameplate and his picture on the Senate Web site — have been removed.

“I’m hanging in there,” Monserrate told The Post.

“I’m optimistic that the court will rule with what is right and just with respect to the constitutional rights of voters in my district and to me.”

MLB officially announces Mets as 2013 All-Star Game host

Major League Baseball finally announced Wednesday that the 2013 All-Star game will be hosted by the Mets at Citi Field on July 16.

The announcement was made during a news conference at City Hall with baseball Commissioner Bud Selig, Mets owner Fred Wilpon, Mr. Met and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Bloomberg also is hoping New York will host another baseball event.

“I’m counting on a Subway Series this year,” he said.

Baseball decided at least four years ago that the Mets would host the game at the ballpark, which opened in 2009, but held off an announcement until it reached agreements with the city and agencies for All-Star services and related events, such as the FanFest.

Selig said the Mets’ financial problems caused by the Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme didn’t delay an announcement.

“I have great faith in the Wilpons and the family and I was very confident they would work things out, and they have. I had no trepidation at all.”

The Mets last hosted the All-Stars in 1964, the year Shea Stadium opened. The game was last in New York in 2008, the final season of the old Yankee Stadium.

Kansas City is host of this year’s game, and the 2014 game is expected to be played at Minneapolis’ Target Field.

Woman regrets getting plastic surgery 30 times for her boyfriend

Well, that’s a deal-breaker.

Berry Ng, a 22-year-old YouTube star from Hong Kong, has had more than 30 plastic surgery procedures in the past five years — all to impress her (now ex-) boyfriend.

She says she started going under the knife because her ex criticized her looks and kept comparing her to supermodels, reports Next Shark.

Ng has spent more than $3,000 augmenting her forehead, eyes, cheeks, nose, chin and breasts.

But that still wasn’t enough to impress her critical beau.

“At that moment, if he had stopped me and told me that I was beautiful enough, I would have stopped, but he didn’t,” she said.

Even after all of her operations, he still didn’t like her breasts. So she got them augmented last year.

When Ng’s mother saw her after that last operation, she started crying. In that moment, Ng realized her plastic surgery obsession had gotten out of control.

She’s since dumped the deadbeat and has told local media outlets she regrets her surgeries and wants to encourage body positivity going forward.

Water to Wine

Every year, the Italian town of Marino interrupts the water supply to flow wine through to the statues at the center of their Grape Festival. But due to a technical error this year, wine flowed from taps in peoples' homes for a full three minutes!

Many thought it was a gift from the town council, but it was simply an error that was quickly corrected. 10-12 homes experienced the "gift," along with the main local bar. The Grape Festival is held annually on the first Sunday in October to celebrate Admiral Marcantonio Colonna's return home following his victory over the Turks at the Battle of Lepanto in 1571.

Someone in Michigan is Absolutely Heartless

A human-sized heart was found at a car wash in Paw Paw, Michigan. The owner, who discovered it in a corner of one of the car washing bays, says it is not the first time body parts have been left there (! - wha-at!?) but it is the first time a heart has been. Animal parts have been discovered at the car wash before.

Authorities took it first to a veterinarian, who was unable to determine if it was human or not, so they took it to a cardiologist who could only tell them its size was "consistent" with that of a human's. The heart is now in the hands of forensic scientists, but Paw Paw police do not know when they will hear the results.

"If it's a human heart... then where's the body?" the police chief asked.

Vintage Radio Picking-Up Vintage Broadcasts

A 1940's model Pye radio which is not connected to any power source, and "would probably explode if switched on," has been picking-up 1940's-era radio broadcasts, including speeches by Winston Churchill and the Glenn Miller Orchestra. There is no powerful transmitter in the area and technicians who have examined the insides of the radio claim to have found "nothing but cobwebs and spiders."

The radio was purchased in 1962 and is on display at the Montrose Air Station, which is widely regarded as haunted and has been for almost a century. Reports include ghostly figures, turning doorknobs, footsteps, and even full-figure apparitions. While experts have investigated the station many times and explained-away many supposed paranormal sightings and happenings, the radio has even the staunchest skeptic scratching his head.

Broadcasts of the Glenn Miller Orchestra are heard most often. They are said to be faint and last up to a half-hour, off and on, but even though you have to put your ear to the radio to hear it, the broadcast is distinct.

Though the official website of the Montrose Air Station has a section entitled "Ghosts," it shows merely a handful of images without any text, and the radio is not mentioned; it tends to dispel the notion that the heritage center is trying to capitalize on such things.

© C Harris Lynn, 2010

1 comment:

  1. Has anyone attempted to record the programmes for comparison with known broadcasts from that era? Or perhaps are Mr. Churchill's and Maj. Miller's spirits broadcasting anew from across the decades?

    (Also, spelling nitpick: the phrase is "picking up". Two-part verbs are never hyphenated.)

Hawk Attacks Suspend Mail Service

Thanks to a family of four hawks, mail to about 150 homes in the Calgary area has been suspended. According to mail officials and several eyewitnesses, at least one hawk in particular routinely dive-bombed a mail carrier so viciously, it even broke the helmet the carrier wore as protection!

Residents have a running joke not to make eye contact with the birds, lest they attack, but the frequent assaults are no laughing matter for the post office, which has suspended the mail route to about 150 homes in the area. The hawks usually fly South for the winter, which begins in the area in only a few weeks, and officials hope to resume the route then.

I think that there comes a point in which you can’t keep living your life aimlessly hoping that someone you have given everything to will suddenly decide to change their mind and begin to want you or want to be a part of your life. You have to live life for YOU, trying everyday to find your passion and when you find it, falling in love with it. I think then that’s when life chooses to fall into place. I innately have this urge to want to help people however there is a fine line between helping people and letting them take advantage of you.

I truly believe that anyone can do anything they put their mind to, it’s all about setting the goal and making steps everyday towards that goal. I think too many times we get in a funk in which we just feel so stuck in the stagnant waters of disappointment, failure, and let downs; however it doesn’t have to be that way. Maybe it’s finding that someone that makes you realize your potential, and quite possibly in their own way. At a young age, I think that we’re constantly looking ahead when every now and then we need to especially live in the now. I think that involves going outside everyday with a grateful heart, realizing how incredibly lucky we are to be alive. Whether the weather outside is a beautiful clear sky day, with a mild breeze that gently cools you in the heat of the sun.. or whether it’s a stormy day where all you want to do is curl up with a good book or movie and a warming cup of tea.. be grateful. One of the most beautiful things about this life is being able to turn to someone you care about and tell them that you love them, or how much you appreciate them. It’s the little things like that, that make the biggest impact.
I find myself everyday taking things for granted. I can’t say that I can live everyday without regrets, because let’s face it, who doesn’t wish they could magically go back in time and change something? That’s not the point, the point is to truly live each day to its fullest so you can therefore eliminate all chances of regret. So at the end of it all you can truly say that you lived.

“Live the full life of the mind, exhilarated by new ideas, intoxicated by the romance of the unusal.” -Ernest Hemingway

Basic Hawaiian Tuna Poke

Posted by 2 on

So yes, this traditional tuna dish is not cooked, but if you are a sushi fan or an adventurous eater there is nothing better.  The flavors and textures of basic poke (pronounced poe-kay) are simply superb and guaranteed to get you out of a winter funk faster than you can say "macadamia". The wakame seaweed is optional (as are the red pepper flakes) but they do have it at the co-op in the bulk bins and it's full of vitamins and minerals.  The cost is something like $65/lb., but you really only need about a dollar's worth for a nice batch of poke so find a small piece if you can.  Simply place the dried wakame in a dish of water and in about 5 minutes it rehydrates into a whole lot more seaweed than you thought you had!  If you have kids in the vicinity, have them do this step - it's bordering on magical.      serves 2 for dinner, 6 for appetizers or side dish 1 pound ahi or tombo, cubed 1/3 cup soy sauce 1 T sesame oil 1 tsp honey 2 green onions, chopped 2 T wakame seaweed, chopped 8 macadamia nuts, chopped 1 T toasted sesame seeds 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, green onions, seaweed, nuts, seeds and red pepper flakes.  Stir to combine, then fold in the chopped tuna.  Let it sit under refrigeration for about half an hour (if you can stand it) for the flavors to combine. Serve with chips and nori for an appetizer, or sticky rice and avocado slices for a meal.  Enjoy!

The sky will breathe a sigh of relief as the smoke clears, the moon will whisper to the stars that it is safe to come out from the clouds they hide behind. And you, you will miss the chaos. The rise of whistling anticipation setting off every inner alarm, as you are engulfed in a blinding illumination that marks the pinnacle is this moment, That brief moment of insanity, that flash that stains your eyes as it lingers in your darkness, the danger and excitement that sets your heart racing, trying to keep pace with every one of your senses. In the darkness of your quiet nights, you will miss her chaos.

Confession. I am not really a pinner. Pinterest is strangely addictive and I weaned myself several months ago after endless hours looking at beautiful homes and gardens for way too long.
When I received the challenge to post a graphic on Pinterest for Compassion's Pinterest contest, guess what....I did it. I dusted off my boards and added a new one called My Sponsored Children......ahh yes. I was motivated because of the opportunity to win a $100 gift for one of our children in Africa, India or the Dominican Republic. It's funny what you will do for those you love......

Repin and my sponsored child could win a gift of up to $100. That would go a long way in Ethiopia.

So now I am once again weaning from the pages of lovely pictures and recipes, but know that in the myriad of images there is one to help us remember it takes so little to make a difference in the life of a child. Will that hold our interest long enough to step past the desires for new kitchens and bathrooms?

We can't take home furnishings with us at the end of this life but the relationship with a child will last for eternity.

I know it puts a smile on the face of God when we care for these little ones. Social networking isn't so bad after all.

Time and Distance

luckyI watched you unpack

Your suitcase

I missed you I said

You stopped, smiled

Turned and kissed me on the cheek

And said I’ve missed you too

But I was only gone four days

The house was quiet without you

I said

Empty, tidy but colder

But in a funny way

I missed your mess

I’m glad your home

You turned wrapped

your hand in mine

Until you squeezed it tightly

And said I’m glad I’m home too

But I was only in Amsterdam

My minds been working overtime

Without you here to calm it

I said

You’ve been on my mind constantly

You let go of my hand and hugged me

and  said I thought of nothing but you too

But I told you it was only four days away in Amsterdam

I know I said its seems nothing

when you say like that

But in seconds it sounds so much worst

In my mind

You were  gone for

345600 seconds

and seemed so far away

 495 Kilometres away to be exact!

I told you my mind’s been

working over time

But I missed you

[Video] What Would Seniors Tell Their Freshman Selves?

Video by: Carolyn Popescu and Maggie Wrobel

With finals week well underway, Penn State seniors find themselves savoring their last few days in Happy Valley. We asked them to reflect upon their four years in State College and answer a simple question: What would you tell your freshman-year self?

Some seniors urge their freshman selves to study more and hit the library. Others, however, encourage letting loose, partying more, and taking things less seriously.

But what was the most popular advice from Penn State seniors? “Get involved and be yourself.”

What started as a hobby for New College of Florida students (and childhood friends) Kelly Ogden (bass/vocals) and Luis Cabezas (guitar) became a full-time career when Ogden and Cabezas decided to make their band, the Dollyrots, a full-time gig in 2000.
The duo set off on a road trip to find a new home for the group and settled in Los Angeles in 2002; once there, the pair set about honing a pop-punk sound inspired by the Ramones, the Pixies, the Sex Pistols, and Green Day. Two years later, the band signed with Lookout!/Panic Button Records and released Eat My Heart Out. While performing on the Vans Warped Tour in 2006, the bandmembers met Joan Jett, who was so taken by the Dollyrots that she offered them a spot on her Blackheart Records label roster.
Produced by Jacques Wait and John Fields, the Dollyrots' second album, Because I'm Awesome, debuted on Blackheart in March 2007. A year later they recorded a version of Jett's song "Bad Reputation" for the soundtrack to the film Endless Bummer. They followed up the album three years later with the slickly produced A Little Messed Up. The Dollyrots left Blackheart after that, releasing an EP on their own Arrested Youth label. For their next project, the group turned to crowd-funding site Kickstarter, launching a wildly successful campaign that yielded 2012's The Dollyrots. Working again with co-producer John Fields, the independently released set featured Ogden and Cabezas firmly in charge for the first time in their career as they played all the instruments (save for a few parts done by producer Fields) and had final say over all facets of the process. By this point the Dollyrots had gone through a number of different drummers and generally operated as duo with guest musicians in the studio and on their various tours. Their 2014 release, Barefoot and Pregnant, was recorded during Ogden's pregnancy and was subsequently followed by the birth of the couple's first child. The album fared well critically and reached number seven on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. The all-acoustic Love Songs, Werewolves, and Zombies was released digitally in 2013 to the band's PledgeMusic supporters, and received a public release the following year. The Dollyrots continued to successfully fund their projects via the crowd-funding platform PledgeMusic and in 2016, they released their first concert album, the ambitious, double-disc/DVD set Family Vacation: Live in Los Angeles. That same year also saw the release of the three-song EP Mama's Gonna Knock You Out. The end of the year saw them working on two new projects, another kid and their next album. The couple's baby girl was born in November and the John Fields-produced Whiplash Splash was released in early 2017. ~ Katherine Fulton & Timothy Monger, Rovi

The Scale of Energetics

by Optimum Nutrition Admin
No comments yet

Quickly and easily calibrate the energy level of any organic substance including your organs or body systems.

We are constantly being inundated with study after study of what is “good” for us and what is not.  Even more frustrating is that much of the information is contradictory.  One day a scientist releases a study that correlates alcohol consumption with an increase risk of a specific type of cancer.  The following day, a major university reports findings that red wine is good for the heart.  What is healthy one day is not the next.  Conflicting research arises from several factors:

  • The brain’s inability to discern truth from falsehood.
  • Paradigm blindness (perceiving a nonexistent cause and effect relationship based on a particular set of beliefs and experiences).
  • Intentional distortion of data to promote a hidden agenda.

All matter possesses a dynamic energy field that can be measured and manipulated.  This energy field is either positive or negative, in varying degrees of strength.  Within complex organisms such as plants, animals and people, many different levels of energy exist concurrently and, in many cases, there will be both positive and negative energies in a single organism.  For example, an Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake has an overall high positive energy field although its venom is a powerfully negative energy field.  Similarly, a person may be generally healthy and possess a fairly strong overall energy field while having a severely compromised organ that actually exhibits negative energy.  Also, the negative energy of parasites that have infected a generally health human being or animal can easily be identified within the overall positive energy field of that body.  Both forms of energy can now be precisely calibrated using the Scale of Energetics.

The Scale of Energetics

500 – Life enhancing energy
200 – 499Life sustaining energy
1 – 199Life inhibiting energy

On this logarithmic scale (10ˣ), 1 to 199 depicts life inhibiting energy where the negative impact diminishes as calibrations trend upward toward the level of 200.  200 is the critical level at which energy transforms to life sustaining energy.  Anything that is to be consumed or applied to the body must test at 200 or above for the substance not to have a deleterious effect on the body.    Substances that calibrate in the “life sustaining” category (calibrations ranging from 200 to 499) may not negatively impact the body but they are of little to no benefit.  Once the energy field reaches 500, it acquires the ability to withstand external forms of stress, both physical and emotional, and becomes life enhancing.  This stress resistant quality increases to infinity, which represents the perfect expression of life giving creation that is impervious to all external forces.  One should always seek to consume substances that calibrate above 500 and shield the body from anything calibrating below 200, including people.

Once the technique of muscle testing has been mastered, the world can be assessed in a much more specific, accurate, realistic way.  In order to calibrate an object or person using the Scale of Energetics and muscle testing, simply make the following statement:

  • “On the Scale of Energetic, this (name the object) calibrates above 200.”

If the O-ring remains strong (a “yes” response), then the object being tested possesses a positive energy field.  To determine just how strong the field is, continue with the same statement but use incrementally higher numbers until a “no” or weak response is received.  For example:

  • “This (name the object) calibrates above 300.”
  • “This (name the object) calibrates above 450.”
  • “This (name the object) calibrates above 460.”

Any number on the scale may be chosen as a starting point and then move up or down on the scale depending on the responses received (yes or no) until a specific number is reached.  Additional examples:

  • “On the Scale of Energetics, I calibrate above 500”
  • “On the Scale of Energetics, my liver calibrates below 300”
  • “On the Scale of Energetics, this apple calibrates above 400”

The following charts illustrate sample calibrations at each of the three levels.  Note:  Calibrations of these items may differ due to many factors which will affect an object’s energy field.  Consider the raw carrot example below.  One carrot could calibrate differently from another due to the soil in which they were grown, when the carrots were picked, the pesticides to which each was exposed and so on.  A pack of Marlboro cigarettes may differ energetically from another pack because of what it was exposed to during shipping (e.g. extreme temperatures, radiation, moisture, etc.), how long it has sat on a store shelf and so on.

Calibrations Using the Scale of Energetics

Life Inhibiting       (0 – 199)Calibration
Kellogg’s Fruit Loops140
Marlboro cigarette110
Tums antacid71
Kraft American cheese74
Skippy peanut butter198
Land O’ Lakes butter189

Life Sustaining  (200 – 499)Calibration
Centrum Silver multivitamin250
McDonald’s Quarter Pounder240
Wonder bread327
Prego tomato sauce426
Gerber’s green beans456
Raw conventionally grown carrot387
Cooked organic carrot300

Life Enhancing  (500 – ∞)Calibration
Organic steel-cut oats790
Quantum Daily Multi900
Spring Tree maple syrup766
Nature’s Pride multi-grain bread626
R.O. filtered ozonated water1799
Raw organic carrot698
Remediated raw carrot1299

The Standard American Diet (with the appropriate acronym SAD) consists largely of foods that calibrate below 500.  While the “life sustaining” level is positive energy, items in this range, particularly at the lower end, will not sustain life for very long.  In other words, a diet consisting predominantly of cooked food, processed food and fast food will most likely result in a painful and abbreviated existence on this earth.  Consuming energetically weak food causes the degradation of every cell, creates an environment in which pathogens flourish and comprises our immune systems.  This contributes to our body’s inability to overcome illness and accelerates the aging process.

Again, as previously discussed, the mind on its own cannot determine what is good for the body and what is not.  Universally accepted suppositions exposed to the truth detection of muscle testing reveals astounding results.  From the above chart, please note that Centrum Silver multivitamin, which is advertised as having all the nutrients from “A to Z” calibrates at nearly the same level as the McDonald’s burger and a slice of cheese is more deadly than a cigarette.  Clearly, advertising and prevailing beliefs do not necessarily represent truth.  Also note worthy from these charts is the difference between a raw conventionally grown carrot (387), a raw organic carrot (698), cooked organic carrot (300) and a remediated, conventionally grown raw carrot (1299).  An organic raw carrot is stronger than a cooked organic carrot.  Heating food destroys the live enzymes needed to digest the food and denatures and diminishes the nutrients within the food.  Therefore, an already nutritionally weak plant due to toxins, hybridization and poor growing practices is made even weaker by cooking it.  A remediated raw conventionally grown carrot is twice as strong as a raw organic carrot.  Although organic tends to be somewhat better than conventional, there are still significant levels of toxins present and it pales in comparison to food that has been remediated using a new procedure detailed in the Whole Body Detoxification chapter.

Muscle test everything and do not assume that things that are commonly considered “good for you” are actually so; they could actually be extremely dangerous.  For example, most of the supplements found on the shelves of major retailers not only lack any useable nutrition, many possess the negative energy fields of toxic ingredients.  More than 50% of the supplements being sold at GNC and the Vitamin Shoppe calibrate below 200 and none of the products calibrate above 400.  Few supplements carried by these retailers that are not outright harmful, none will provide enough nutrition to even support a normal day at work, let alone a strenuous workout at the gym.

Muscle testing of pharmaceutical drugs paints an even bleaker picture.  According to the Food and Drug Administration, pharmaceuticals are the only products that can prevent or cure a disease or illness.  Calibrations using the Scale of Energetics prove this assertion to be the furthest from the truth.  Of all the pharmaceutical drugs in distribution worldwide, none calibrate over 300 and nearly 70% test as harmful, negative energy (below 200); some as low as 50.

Even more abhorrent is the fact that over 50% of the “food” found in the grocery store calibrates below 200 and less than 20% of it tests over 500.  Except for the fresh fruits and vegetables, very few of the food items have any nutritional value and much of it will compromise one’s health.  But again, simply because it is fresh produce; do not make the mistake of believing that it is always healthful.   Even organic produce, particularly tomatoes and grapes, can be so heavily pesticided that they will test extraordinarily weak.  Consequently, the vast majority of the population is consuming extremely harmful food, food by-products, contaminated water, supplements, pharmaceuticals, body lotions, hair care products, cosmetics and other toxic substances on a daily basis.

Additionally, we are constantly being exposed to tensely negative energy in form of electromagnetic fields (e.g. electricity, electronic devices, cellphones), radiation (e.g. scanning devices, power plants, televisions), toxic gases, and violent television shows, music and games.  Needless to say, the inundation of injurious fields is having a significant impact on our bodies.  Due to our inability to identify, avoid, eliminate or remediate harmful energy that weakens the body, people become increasingly susceptible to all forms of pathogens and debilitating disorders.  Therefore, over 87% of the world’s population calibrates below 300, which is very unhealthy.

Because our food is so woefully weak nutritionally and energetically, most people are, quite literally, starving for positive energy.  This induces an aggressive subconscious search for supplemental energy sources.  The source that most people identify very early in life is other people’s energy.  So begins the constant struggle to control, manipulate and steal human energy.  Disagreements between people, wars between countries, violent crimes and all other forms of attempted domination of one person over another is simply an unconscious desire to usurp someone’s energy, usually against their will.  This is why a person feels hurt and weak after being criticized or ridiculed; energy was physically drained from their body.  Conversely, the person inflicting the emotional (or physical) assault feels empowered, albeit fleetingly.  This competition for energy occurs all day everyday from very subtle comments to overtly destructive actions.  The lower a person calibrates on the Scale of Consciousness (Hawkins, Power vs. Force, 1995) and the Scale of Energetics, the more aggressive their methods for controlling and seizing power become, potentially manifesting in such atrocities as child abuse, rape and murder.

When people learn to derive their energy from nutrition and the remediation of their immediate environments, much of the conflict in the world will cease to exist.  Energy could then be shared and given freely, not forcibly taken, such as a loving parent does for their newborn baby.  The higher one’s level of energetics and consciousness, the greater the ability to uplift others.  This truth can be observed through a simple practice with food.  Take any available piece of fresh fruit (or any food) and calibrate its energy level.  After the calibration, thank God for creating the fruit that is about to be eaten and give thanks to the fruit itself for sacrificing its existence to perpetuate your own.  Now recalibrate the fruit. What will be revealed is that its energy level has increased by as much as 20%.   Energy is a two-way street.  As long as it is given willingly and accepted with gratitude, all Creation benefits.

Before beginning the 8 Steps to Fundamental Health, calibrate your current overall level of health.  To do so, ask the following question in the form of a declarative statement: “On the Scale of Energetics, I calibrate above ______.”  The starting point on the scale can be any number; however, starting at 200 and moving upwards is recommended.  For example:

  • On the Scale of Energetics, I calibrate above 500 – a positive response is received (true)
  • On the Scale of Energetics, I calibrate above 600 – a negative response is received (not true).

From the above statements, the body’s overall energetic level is determined to be between 500 and 600.  Now continue the testing in smaller increments as follows:

  • On the Scale of Energetics, I calibrate above 510 – true
  • I calibrate above 520 – true
  • I calibrate above 530 – true
  • I calibrate above 540 – not true
  • I calibrate above 531 – true
  • I calibrate above 532 – true
  • I calibrate above 533 – true
  • I calibrate above 534 – not true

Therefore, in this illustration, body’s precise calibration has been determined to be 534.  One’s actual calibration will become the baseline against which one can measure the tremendous improvements being realized by consuming energetically strong foods such as Quantum Nutrition Labs’ products, all of which calibrate above 900.
