Facts vs. Narrative, Utoya Edition
by matttbastard
Norwegian journalist Magnus Nome was in the good ol' US of A when self-styled counterjihadist crusader Anders Breivik decided to escalate his murderous fantasies about Eurabian conquest from Outer Wingnuttia into the real world. Thankfully, CNN, Fox News et al were ready to provide informed, accurate, up-to-the-minute coverage of events on the ground:
The news coverage over the following days taught me a lot of interesting new 'facts' about the innocent nation of Norway.
1. Apparently we don't lock our doors at night. Wrong. We do.
2. There is no public debate about immigration. Wrong. Immigration generally, and Islam specifically, have been high on the agenda for more than a decade.
3. We're all white. Wrong. Norway has become an increasingly diverse society since the early 1970s: almost a third of Oslo now has non-Norwegian origin, more than one in ten being Muslim.
4. Owning a gun is practically illegal. Wrong. Hunting and sport shooting are popular recreational activities, and Norway ranks high in gun ownership.
5. The Utøya victims were all white, and the terrorist did not kill any Muslims. Wrong. The victims reflected a diverse Norwegian society. Several of the dead were Muslims, several were of African or Middle Eastern ancestry. This information was available. It is extremely disrespectful to airbrush them out of the story to make it more coherent.
As they say, read the whole damn thing, especially if everything you know about Norway — and about Anders Breivik & far-right nationalism in Europe — was learned via teh cablez.

Rima Fakih's Trojan Bikini
by matttbastard
Sometimes it takes well over a thousand words to highlight the absurdity of the viral xenophobia that periodically sweeps over the more Islamophobic denziens of Outer Wingnuttia.
This time it would (at first) appear that a mere picture will suffice:
Of course, as Echidne points out, the rush to silently refute the ridiculously simplistic racism expressed by Pipes, Schlussel, et al with a li'l bit o' SEO-friendly T&A and some progressive leering pretty much ignores the broader issues surrounding beauty pageants, their continued place in Western culture, and what all that means for women as women, not as SHARIA-SHILLING ISLAMOFASCISTS OUT TO STEAL TEH PATRIARCHY FROM ITS RIGHTFUL WHITE CHRISTIAN INHERITORS!!11one
Quoth everyone's fav snake goddess:
I have no idea what Ms. Fakih's religion is and it's not really relevant, because I'm writing of those guy reactions:
Daniel Pipes manages to mash together his support of the objectification of women (yes! sometimes I have to sound feminazi) with his hatred of affirmative action and his fear of the Muslims to get–what? The idea that the judges in those pageants let Muslim women win for political reasons or multiculturalist appeasement or something like that.
And the liberal guys pick up that ball and fly with it! Nooooh! Muslim women really are dishier and prettier than Christian women, and here are the examples!
If you don't believe me, check out this comments thread to a related post.
Note how it all became something about ethnicity or religion and how the gender angle was completely and totally lost? Yet I'm quite sure that this was not on purpose. Women's issues are simply not as visible or as important as all those other issues.
Of course, one could (and should) argue that ethnicity and religion are bound together (or intersect, if you will) with gender. Still, the lack of specific gender-based analysis among the majority of left-liberal commentators during this latest orgy of manufactured outrage (and a preponderance of progressive responses that tend to reinforce rather than challenge the basic sexist assumptions behind the arguments presented by many on the right) is rather telling.

Missouri State Senate Panel Report Blames Abortion For Influx of Undocumented Workers
by matttbastard
UPDATE: My bad — this story is actually from 2006. Not to say that's any comfort, since, as Ann notes in comments, both Tom DeLay and Mike Huckabee have since repeated the spurious claim that abortion causes illegal immigration. END UPDATE
Via Jill and Sylvia/M (by email), McCain's consolation prize has further affirmed its right-wing bona fides:
A Republican-led legislative panel [in Missouri] says in a new report on illegal immigration that abortion is partly to blame because it is causing a shortage of American workers.
The report from the state House Special Committee on Immigration Reform also says that "liberal social welfare policies" have discouraged Americans from working and have encouraged immigrants to cross the border illegally.The statements about abortion and welfare policies, along with a recommendation to abolish income taxes in favor of sales taxes, were inserted into the immigration report by Rep. Edgar G.H. Emery (R), the panel's chairman.[...]
"You don't have to think too long. If you kill 44 million of your potential workers, it's not too surprising we would be desperate for workers."[...]
"The lack of traditional work ethic, combined with the effects of 30 years of abortion and expanding liberal social welfare policies have produced a shortage of workers and a lack of incentive for those who can work."
Hey, at least they didn't blame Satan; that's a small purple post-partisan victory of sorts.
matttbastard at Muslimah Media Watch
by matttbastard
My thanks to the fine folks at Muslimah Media Watch for crossposting my post on Faiza M:
Muslimah Media Watch is a forum where we, as Muslim women, can critique how our images appear in the media and popular culture. Although we are of different nationalities, sects, races, etc., we have something important in common: we're tired of seeing ourselves portrayed by the media in ways that are one-dimensional and misleading. This is a space where, from a Muslim feminist perspective, we can speak up for ourselves.
As Muslim feminists we aim to locate and critique misogyny, sexism, patriarchy, Islamophobia, racism, and xenophobia as they affect Muslim women. Furthermore, we believe in equality — regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, and ability.
This blog is meant to be inclusive to all people, with a special focus on Muslim women. MMW strives to create an environment in which our writers and readers feel safe and welcome. We ask that you be considerate towards others and their opinions. This is a respectful forum for dialogue, not argument or personal attacks.

Citizenship and Submission
by matttbastard
I'm having trouble reconciling the following with "Liberté, égalité, fraternité":
France has denied citizenship to a Moroccan woman who wears a burqa on the grounds that her "radical" practice of Islam is incompatible with basic French values such as equality of the sexes.
The woman, known as Faiza M, is 32, married to a French national and lives east of Paris. She has lived in France since 2000, speaks good French and has three children born in France. Social services reports said she lived in "total submission" to her husband. Her application for French nationality was rejected in 2005 on the grounds of "insufficient assimilation" into France. She appealed, invoking the French constitutional right to religious freedom and saying that she had never sought to challenge the fundamental values of France. But last month the Council of State, France's highest administrative body, upheld the ruling.
"She has adopted a radical practice of her religion, incompatible with essential values of the French community, particularly the principle of equality of the sexes," it said.
The article goes on to explain the Council of State's definition of 'radical':
The legal expert who reported to the Council of State said the woman's interviews with social services revealed that "she lives almost as a recluse, isolated from French society".
The report said: "She has no idea about the secular state or the right to vote. She lives in total submission to her male relatives. She seems to find this normal and the idea of challenging it has never crossed her mind."
The woman had said she was not veiled when she lived in Morocco and had worn the burqa since arriving in France at the request of her husband. She said she wore it more from habit than conviction.
Someone who adheres to a non-mainstream religious practice "out of habit" rather than "conviction" doesn't strike me as all that "radical".
Daniele Lochak, a law professor not involved in the case, said it was bizarre to consider that excessive submission to men was a reason not to grant citizenship. "If you follow that to its logical conclusion, it means that women whose partners beat them are also not worthy of being French," he told Le Monde.
I really do find the use of the term "radical" interesting. The connotations are that the practice of Faiza M's beliefs somehow pose an existential threat to French society, thus the rationale behind the denial of citizenship. And it's telling that it's the women who always seems to be the ones who are placed in the position of having to justify their existence (damned if you do, damned if you don't).
But what about the men to whom she has "submitted"? They are already French citizens, and seem to be facing no consequences for making such "radical" demands upon Faiza in the first place. She has, in effect, been denied agency, reduced to a wayward vessel who deserves to be punished for, in effect, not saying 'non' as a 'real' Frenchwoman would (except when they don't, as pointed out in the article). Once again, Muslims–specifically, Muslimahs–who dare to practice their oh-so-freaky religion in ways the majority find distasteful serve as public whipping posts for the sins of the nebulous 'other' which, by virtue of mere existence, is apparently chipping away at the structural integrity of the liberal democratic secular state.
And that's really all I feel comfortable saying at this point, and probably won't comment further, apart from moderation duties. I would much prefer to hear from women–especially Muslimahs–about what they think and how they feel about this.
Update: Also see this thread @ BnR started by Chrystal Ocean of Challenging the Commonplace.
Edited at Chrystal's recommendation (thanks!) to incorporate additional commentary originally posted at BnR/in comments in slightly different form (ie, I corrected some typos)

More on the Demographic Winter
by matttbastard
Well, it's sad to see this creeping into Europe, but there's always been a strong streak of racism among the fetus fetishists in North America: 'Too many of Them and not enough of Us are breeding.'
Yup. Peel off the "innocent unborn" rhetoric and a lot of 'em are simply selling good ol' fashioned white nationalism under the noble guise of saving Western Civilization™ from imminent collapse. Of course, for anyone who doesn't fit the proper socioeconomic/ethnic standard, reproduction should be considered a privilege, to be strictly *ahem* regulated by those who claim to always support Life™ (except when they don't).
'We' must make sure we're only loading our quivers with proper arrows–and don't get any funny, Feminazi-inspired thoughts about betraying your country and your biological destiny by putting on your shoes and leaving the kitchen, ladies.

Nicely done, your skills have vastly improved.
Noticablr your art has improved over the time you spent on this series. Even more noticable it your improvment in flash animation.
You come a long way, and you should be quite proud of your achievemnets, how ever their is always still room for improvment.
Keep practicing, and keep up the good work.

You made a brillaint flash and it truly makes people interested in the plot and violence to come :D. Good work!!

Born in Toledo, Ohio, on April 10, 1981, snowboarder Gretchen Bleiler spent the bulk of her formative years living in Colorado. She turned pro in 1996 and by the early 2000s was one of the top female snowboarders in the world. A three-time Winter X Games champion, Bleiler captured the silver medal at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy.
"I always looked up to [my brothers]. That's the reason I started snowboarding. I wanted to be like them."
Early Years
Gretchen Bleiler was born on April 10, 1981, in Toledo, Ohio. Following the divorce of her parents when she was 10, she moved with her mother to Aspen, Colorado.
Bleiler says the move out West changed her life. Namely, it immersed her in a winter sports culture that hadn't existed for her in Ohio. She started snowboarding at the age of 11, taking it on after her three older brothers introduced it to her.
"I always looked up to them," she has said. "That's the reason I started snowboarding. I wanted to be like them."
Still, it was impossible to deny that Bleiler was a natural on the slopes. In 1996, just five years after taking up snowboarding, she turned pro. A year after graduating from Aspen High School, she joined U.S. Snowboarding in 2000.
Snowboarding Success
In an age when sports like snowboarding were coming into vogue, Bleiler made an impact. By the early 2000s, she was one of the top female riders in the world. In 2003, she won the World SuperPipe Championship, captured gold in the halfpipe at the Winter X Games, and took home the US Open title.
The ensuing years only brought more success and more titles. The most significant of those came at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, where Bleiler won the silver medal, finishing second behind friend and fellow American Hannah Teter.
Overall, Bleiler is a veteran of 11 Winter X Games and is a three-time X Games champion. In 2008, she won the ESPY for Women's Action Sports Athlete of the Year.
Personal Life
In recent years, Bleiler has expanded her interests beyond the slopes and into fashion. She posed for the cover of a 2004 issue of FHM and helped design a series of sunglasses for Oakley.
In 2009, Bleiler married fellow snowboarder Chris Hotell. They split their time between California and Colorado.

2010 Lexus LX 570 4dr SUV 4WD (5.7L 8cyl 6A)
This is my third Lexus, the first two were LX 470's
and after I sold the last one I decided to get a two year old Rang Rover Sport (supercharged) for a change. And what a change, overheating problems, brakes binding requiring new pads and rotors after 30,000Km and a leaking sunroof that caused a wiring short inside the passenger side quarter panel.
Looked good and was reasonably comfortable and was incredibly fast with that supercharger, but horribly let down by reliability issues.
I then decided that for that kind of money I should get something I know would be reliable like my two previous Lexus's.
I wasn't disappointed and have found the LX 570 to be many times nicer than the the 470
the full review
2010 Lexus LX 570 4dr SUV 4WD (5.7L 8cyl 6A)
It has been 3 years and 60,000 miles since I purchased my 2010 Lexus LX 570 brand new from Lexus dealership in Santa Monica, California. The more I drive my LX, the more I am convinced that I made the right choice!
When I did my search for a new car, my only requirements were to drive a large luxury SUV. As an owner of 2 companies that drives approximately 20,000 miles a year, my needs were "Luxury" and "Utility". I test drove BMW's X5, Mercedes GL-450, Land Rover, The Audi Q7, Cadillac Escalade, and the Lincoln Navigator.
In my opinion, the LX-570 had many advantages over the others. It's ride was the smoothest and quietest. It was COMFORTABLE! (Extremely comfortable in fact) Ergonomically, none of the others came even close. It's navigation with Destination Assist was by far the most advanced and easiest to use. (I use it all the time and love it). Fit and finish and especially reliability are second to none.
It's size was also very appealing to me. It's not too big such as the Escalade and Navigator, and yet it's still big enough for a 3rd row seat. It's also very wide and roomy inside which I really like. The European SUVs on the other hand, felt very narrow and tight and many lacked the 3rd row seat.
I have had the opportunity to drive my LX in various driving conditions. From day to day L.A. traffic, to a 300+ mile drive in stormy rain and snow thru windy mountain roads and even driving all the way to Montana and back with 5 adults and fully loaded with gear. (5500 miles in 19 days to visit all the major national parks in the western states, including, Yellow Stone, Teton, Glacier, Olympic, Mount Rainier, Mount Saint Helen, Redwood Forest, etc) I have also done several day long trips to various other cities such as Las Vegas, Phoenix, Tucson and San Francisco to name just a few. (I do several trade shows each year)
In all my travels, whether I'm driving thru the desert at 120 degrees Fahrenheit or in inclement weather, I find the LX comfortable, luxurious, quiet, smooth and reassuring.

2010 Lexus LX 570 4dr SUV 4WD (5.7L 8cyl 6A)
Very Happy with my purchase. Test drove Range Rover, LR4, and H2, none of with could come close in any category. Center Consul Cool Box is convenient.

2010 Lexus LX 570 4dr SUV 4WD (5.7L 8cyl 6A)
Almost purchased another G55 AMG but am glad I didn't. The Lexus is far better for on road comfort then the Benz,and the off-roading is about the same. Its also far better looking in and out and boast more amenities. Very Glad I made the switch.

The caption accompanying this NY Times article picture of a street vendor selling bottled-water reads "Many sidewalk peddlers are doing record business, though the city considers it against the law to sell water without a license."
I think Brad Spangler's timely Facebook status update expresses how one should react to this:
Note carefully that states will be glad to bust down doors, "sweep streets" and so on in order to combat the problem of child prostitution. What states will not do is stop making the only choice for many prostitution or starvation, by impoverishing the populace with taxes, regulation and the sclerotic choking off of economic opportunities other than prostitution.

I am very wary of the restore function to take the machine back to an earlier state as that doesn't just revert the programs, it also deletes any documents that were created or edited by that software at any time since the chosen restore point. That's obviously a bug, and a very serious one at that.
I am gradually growing a list of programs that worked on Vista, but when upgraded no longer work, and reverting to the older version is either not possible or still fails to get the program working again.

High performance boot for all kinds of terrain
August 23, 2010
What I wanted for skiing this last winter was an amazing boot for accessing the sidecountry at my home resort. The Gaia was perfect. I used this boot all winter for guiding heli skiing, for skiing the resort on days I knew I would be cutting out the backcountry gates and I also used it as a performance boot for long, single day ski tours when I knew I would be skiing challenging lines. They never failed me. I definitely am wary of a women's touring boot- I'm 5'10" and I ski hard on big skis (I skied these boots on both K2 Darksides and on Dynafit Stokes) but the Gaia performed the best of any other women's touring boot that I have tried. The only reason for the four stars is that the boot was too narrow in the toe box for me and it took some fitting to get it right.
light boot, lacks performance
May 17, 2010
I am so tired of hearing things like this "for hard-charging women who want performance they can count on.", and then finding another floppy boot. This one is OK. It skis very soft, in my opinion, and the walking is only slightly more comfortable than my alpine boots. The fit is great, and they are light, which is nice, but driving big skis through serious lines is a challenge.

Atlanta >
Health & Medical Services > Atlanta Medical Institute3365 Piedmont Rd Ne Suite 1250, Atlanta, GA | Directions
Neighborhoods: Northside, Northside, North Buckhead
I went there on a living social deal and though I could not afford the HCG the staff was very understanding and friendly. They help me advise a meal plan. I still go there for b12 shots. Kim is awesome. The staff is very friendly and helpful always making you feel welcome
I met with Kim Teasley. I can't express enough of how pleased I was. She was thorough, I never felt rushed, and I felt as if she was genuinely vested in what was best for me (versus driving revenue for the company).
I thought I was doomed to keep this weight on! I had tried everything! My doctor had said I was insulin resistant and PCOS. I also deal with huge amounts of stress. I love Atlanta Medical Institute!! I've lost 36 pounds in 95 days!!! I feel better than I've felt in years!! They are wonderful and I highly recommend them!!
I have had biofeedback performed on multiple occasions, and highly recommend Nelli and her services. I've had mono for 11 months, and biofeedback is the only thing that has helped as it can not be treated by traditional medicine. It's a long process to rebuild my immune system, but Nelli and biofeedback have done a great deal for me as well as helped with other health issues. I now have several co-workers and friends seeing her for various issues as well like allergies, kidney infections and recovery from surgery. Once I get well, I will continue to get an annual session like a regular check-up from a doctor. It's an amazing process! And now I can use my FSA to pay for it!
I was very impressed by the service and the professionalism at this business. The administrative staff, along with the doctors were very courteous and efficient, two qualities that I greatly appreciate! I would definitely recommend Atlanta Medical Institute to anyone who is looking for a positive change in their life!
I used the halfoffdepot deal to start at this business and have a feeling that I will continue coming here until I see the results that I am looking for!
I've been the big girl with a pretty face it seems all my life, well the majority. My parents put me on Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, & even shock treatment...but to make a long story short I was 26 and 375 lbs! Well it took me like 7-8 months to lose 25 lbs. and keep it off, so right after my 27th birthday I decided to check out the famous B-12 treatments I heard about on the Dr. Oz show. Within my first week on the program at AMI, the weight started to drop. I've only been on the program for a month now and I started at 353 lbs. I now weigh 324 lbs. A total loss of 29 lbs. in one month!!! Who's excited??? I AM. The staff is AWESOME! After my first visit, every time I go in, I'm greeted by name & you are with the same people every time, so you build a relationship & trust (esp. if someone is sticking you in your rear end every week! Lol) with those specific people. They even tell me how proud they are of me & the hard work I have ahead. I'm ALWAYS in & out, no long wait times. I'm so glad I found them, so I can finally stop being just the big girl with a pretty face!
It Works!!! – I have been coming to Atlanta Medical Institute for almost 3 years. The staff is not only professional, but they truly care about all of their patients. Their offices are state of the art, and they have the latest information on nutrition, weight loss and many other services. I lost over 55lbs safely! The program was tailored to my specific needs, and I was medically supervised. I no longer have high cholesterol or high blood pressure and have more energy now then I have ever had. I highly recommend choosing Atlanta Medical Institute.
From the moment I called to schedule my appointment from the time I checked out after my first appointment, I felt like the staff really cared about me. Great service!!
In February of 2013 I had Botox done on my forehead...the result was excellent. As I was leaving, they told me about a special they were having on their Signature Facial which included a Photofacial. I had it done and it was incredible! I've had a few done at other places and they were totally worthless. They promised they would even out my skin tone and remove brown spots which they didn't do. But the one I had done here has done all that and more. I'm so happy with this spa and won't even consider going elsewhere.
I became a patient of AMI about 3 months ago to lose weight. After my initial consultation, I realized that this practice was not like any other place in Atlanta. I had several weight loss options to pick from as well as nutritional support. The staff is extremely supportive and knowledgeable. Even when I have had an off week and I don't really want to weigh in...I still go because I know they will be supportive and help me get back on track.
I would highly recommend AMI.

Undervaluing meetings knowledge and experience is one of the quickest ways to drive anyone in our industry from zero to 60. We react immediately and loudly when we hear meeting professionals written off as "party planners," "coffee cup counters," or with any other descriptor that understates the skills a planner brings to the table.
That reaction is entirely justified. But meeting planning isn't the only expertise that is often sold short. There is a lesson to be learned from another pursuit that is routinely dismissed and diminished by people who like the end result but can't begin to understand the effort and time behind it.
When she isn't busy slamming raw text into finished pearls as our managing editor, my wife Karen is an avid knitter and spinner. Hand-knit socks, sweaters, shawls, scarves, and mitts fly off her needles, and the pace seems to pick up each year as the Canadian winter approaches. You might be forgiven for thinking that Karen thrives on services that are destined to be misunderstood: For every planner who thinks a complex, nuanced conference report can be produced by volunteers or adequately replaced with verbatim video, there's a cousin or friend who equates a gorgeous pair of hand-knit wool socks with manufactured polyester from the nearest big-box store.
Which is why that cousin or friend may be surprised at the reaction when they casually ask a knitter to drop everything and make them a scarf or a pair of mitts. Karen has always found that request incredibly presumptuous. But one knit blogger (yes, there are many, many knit bloggers) came up with an answer that might be easily adapted to meetings and events.
"When she isn't knitting, this blogger works as a mathematician," Karen told me. "So when someone just casually asked her for a pair of socks, she sat down and calculated what it would take to get her to say yes. In the end, she said she would barter the 30 hours that go into the socks for equivalent services, like weeding her garden or cooking her meals. I don't know if anyone has taken her up on the offer."
The brilliance in the story is that the blogger expressed the value of the socks in hours, rather than dollars. Charging for our services is what we do to pay the bills, but the fee we can command also attaches a value to our skills and knowledge (arbitrarily or not), relative to other practitioners in our industry and all the other jobs in the economy. By calculating the hours it would take her to knit the socks, she answered an unintended slight with a loud, clear expression of value.
Any of us can do the same the next time anyone asks, "How hard could it really be to organize a meeting?"

Michael Buble Reviews & Ratings
the high price of the tickets. First act was good (better
than Buble) and ramped up the crowd only for us to
wait over 15 minutes for the man himself.
Why does fame go to their heads and make these new
stars forget what and who helped to make them a star?
And I use that term loosely - Mr. Buble and his commentary was at times colorful and very drawn out.
He spent more time sliding around the stage, introducing his entire band than signing the songs that
made his name. Can I get a refund?

The four leading candidates for Manhattan borough president, one of the most difficult races to predict in the city this year, faced off in a spirited debate on the Road to City Hall Wednesday night. NY1's Jon Weinstein filed the following report.
While the candidates for Manhattan borough president agree on many issues, some differences emerged between council members Robert Jackson, Gale Brewer and Jessica Lappin and former Community Board One Chairwoman Julie Menin in a debate on NY1 Wednesday night.
Menin took a shot at her three lawmaker opponents for approving developments in the borough. She challenged Lappin directly.
"As a council member, you and the City Council have approved every single development project ever been put forward in the borough of Manhattan, including building luxury high rise on St. Vincent's Hospital, downtown's only full-service hospital, including the Chelsea Market expansion plan, the NYU expansion plan," Menin said. "How do you account for those votes?
Lappin said her votes were about providing more affordable housing.
"It's not just about talking the talk, but it's about walking the walk and making sure that when we have opportunities to really develop affordable housing, that we are seizing on them," she said. "So I stand by those votes. I'm proud of those votes."
Brewer and Jackson squared off over education. Jackson questioned why Brewer didn't stand with him on a 2009 Department of Education construction plan. She took that opportunity to highlight what she has done in her district.
"DOE can't count, at least in my district, how many spaces are needed, and so we had to, in District 3, count for them when we had an overcrowding situation at P.S. 87, and we got a new elementary school as a result," Brewer said.
Jackson, though, said he's the candidate who can deliver best for the borough's children.
"No one has the type of advocacies that I've had when it comes to education," he said. "In the campaign for fiscal equity lawsuit, in which we won $16 billion, is a clear example for that. So I've been a fighter, and willing to stand up."
In the past, the job has been a launching pad to something grander, but during this debate, all of the candidates said they had no interest in running for mayor, at least for now.

Please Don't Quote Me This Week
PART II—MESKER, a fashionable word used by Mt. Carroll residents in the 1889's had mostly faded away by the turn-of-the century, it being replaced by such activities as Bicycling or Roller Rinks and later the Spanish American War with expanded horizons such as Manila, the Philippines, Guam, Puerto Rico and Cuba, all ceded to America by Spain—for twenty million dollars, that is. Admiral Dewey and Theodore Roosevelt were names that overshadowed Mesker Brothers by 1900.

At the February organizational meeting, Ms Lauritzen was elected Secretary for the Committee. She also presented information regarding the upcoming fourth annual "2013 Women Changing the Face of Agriculture – Your Key to the Future" and the Community Book Read of "Hollowing Out the Middle: The Rural Brain Drain & What It Means for America" that is currently underway in the Eastland School District communities of Lanark, Shannon and Lake Carroll. Eastland is one of the schools currently piloting the State Board of Education "Race to the Top" initiative.

Thanks for the meaningful post with insightful quotes, it got me thinking, and I have come to the opinion that the state and religion should be separated.
YESTERDAY MORNING, conservative writer Michael Brendan Dougherty drew my attention to this 1942 Time article detailing the programme for a "just and durable peace" adopted by "375 appointed representatives of 30-odd [Protestant] denominations called together at Ohio Wesleyan University by the Federal Council of Churches." This is what the best and brightest of American protestantism settled on around the time my parents were born, as the bloodiest war in human history raged on:
• Ultimately, "a world government of delegated powers."
• Complete abandonment of U.S. isolationism.
• Strong immediate limitations on national sovereignty.
• International control of all armies & navies.• "A universal system of money ... so planned as to prevent inflation and deflation."
• Worldwide freedom of immigration.
• Progressive elimination of all tariff and quota restrictions on world trade.
• "Autonomy for all subject and colonial peoples" (with much better treatment for Negroes in the U.S.).
• "No punitive reparations, no humiliating decrees of war guilt, no arbitrary dismemberment of nations."
• A "democratically controlled" international bank "to make development capital available in all parts of the world without the predatory and imperialistic aftermath so characteristic of large-scale private and governmental loans."
Can you believe this was ever the politics of "organised Protestantism" in America? I would note that the Federal Council of Churches is a forebear of the National Council of Churches, which has a history of liberal politics. But favouring liberal immigration reform and taking a stand against gun violence, as the NCC did this year, is a far cry from "Worldwide freedom of immigration" and "International control of all armies & navies"! What happened?
I had this very question on my mind yesterday when, over lunch, I flipped on the TV to find an episode of PBS's "God in America" series, which more or less answered my question. (You can watch online. See episode five, "The Soul of a Nation", chapters one and two.) What happened? In short: Communism and Billy Graham.
I had long understood that popular affirmation of Christian religious identity was an explicit part of the American government's strategy for combating the sinister influence of atheistic communism. But I hadn't known that Billy Graham goaded President Eisenhower into getting baptised while in office, that Eisenhower led the charge to insert "under God" into the "Pledge of Allegiance", or that "In God We Trust" didn't become the official United States motto until Eisenhower signed a 1956 congressional resolution. Nor did I know that Billy Graham had been launched onto the national stage because of his resolute anti-communism. Impressed by the charismatic young evangelist's fiery anti-communist message, press baron William Randolph Hearst commanded the overseers of his influential national network of propaganda broadsheets to "Puff Graham". (These are, apparently, "two of the most famous words in all of American religious history", which goes to show how much I know about American religious history.)
Soon enough, Mr Graham was undertaking nationwide "crusades", selling out huge sports arenas, and precipitating the rapid rise of a more evangelical strain of "born again" American Protestantism."[T]he principles of Christ," Mr Graham declaimed, "form the only ideology hard enough to stop communism. When communism conquers a nation, it makes every man a slave; when Christianity conquers a nation, it makes every man a king." For Americans in the swelling ranks of Graham-style anti-communist Protestantism, the stakes of the cold war could hardly have been higher.
In 1942, before Americans came to see the Soviets as their mortal enemy, the ideas of "Strong, immediate limitations on national sovereignty" and "International control of all armies and navies" could seem an enlightened path to the abolition of war. But by the war's end, it quickly became apparent that this sort of thing would amount to an impracticable power-sharing agreement with communist regimes. And as Americans became more and more likely to believe that only a more thoroughly Christian nation could save the world from godless communist tyranny, the principled, cosmopolitan globalism of the Federal Council of Churches swiftly came to seem a dangerous absurdity and practically communist itself. Anyway, that's what I think happened to the Federal Council of Churches' 1942 platform. Of course, it's now been a good while since we were haunted by the spectre of communism. Yet America's oddly religion-soaked politics remains in many ways the creature of its mid-century anti-communist reaction. Isn't it a bit depressing to think that American national political and religious life has yet to recover from the red scare?
Before yesterday it had never occurred to me that America's distinctive brand of evangelical conservatism—its peculiar marriage of mythic American nationalism with a personal, emotionally intense relationship with Jesus Christ—is not an entirely bottom-up phenomenon, but is to some extent the creation of Eisenhower-era government propaganda and the PR heft of William Randolph Hearst. (That's what certain secular-humanist documentary producers want us to believe!) I look forward to one day seeing this remarkable chain of historical influences mapped out more fully on Glenn Beck's revelatory blackboard.

Navy Deluxe 7' Beach Umbrella
Love this umbrella.
I bought this beach umbrella several months ago and it has been perfect. The 7' size is perfect. The market cut and vents at the top make it stand up to very strong winds. I have had numerous people ask me when I got it and I tell them to go to Tommy Bahama website and find it for $58 and that includes shipping. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. Thanks for a great product.

High quality product
We were very happy when we received our beach umbrella. Looks sturdy and well constructed unlike many of the more expensive ones we have seen in the stores. Can't wait to get to the beach and try it out!

Great quality and style
We love the Tommy Bahama Beach Umbrella. It matches our deluxe beach chairs that we have had for years and love. The umbrella completed our beach trip accessories and has proven itself to not only look great but is also very good quality!
