When Do We Get to Attack Obama's Character?
"Frustration" and "disappointment" have dogged Michelle Obama these past 20 years, despite her US$300,000 a year salary and corporate board memberships. It is hard for the descendants of slaves not to resent America. They were not voluntary immigrants but kidnap victims, subjected to a century of second-class citizenship even after the Civil War ended slavery. Blackness is not the issue; General Colin Powell, whose parents chose to immigrate to America from the West Indies, saw America just as other immigrants do, as a land of opportunity. Obama's choice of wife is a failsafe indicator of his own sentiments. Spouses do not necessarily share their likes, but they must have their hatreds in common. Obama imbibed this hatred with his mother's milk.
Michelle Obama speaks with greater warmth of her mother-in-law than of her husband. "She was kind of a dreamer, his mother," Michelle Obama was quoted in the January 25 Boston Globe. "She wanted the world to be open to her and her children. And as a result of her naivete, sometimes they lived on food stamps, because sometimes dreams don't pay the rent. But as a result of her naivete, Barack got to see the world like most of us don't in this country." How strong the ideological motivation must be of a mother to raise her children on this thin fare in pursuit of a political agenda.
"Naivete" is a euphemism for Ann Dunham's motivation. Friends describe her as a "fellow traveler," that is, a communist sympathizer, from her youth, according to a March 27, 2007, Chicago Tribune report. Many Americans harbor leftist views, but not many marry into them, twice. Ann Dunham met and married the Kenyan economics student Barack Obama, Sr, at the University of Hawaii in 1960, and in 1967 married the Indonesian student Lolo Soetero. It is unclear why Soetero's student visa was revoked in 1967 — the fact but not the cause are noted in press accounts. But it is probable that the change in government in Indonesia in 1967, in which the leftist leader Sukarno was deposed, was the motivation.
Soetero had been sponsored as a graduate student by one of the most radical of all Third World governments. Sukarno had founded the so-called Non-Aligned Movement as an anti-colonialist turn at the 1955 Bandung Conference in Indonesia. Before deposing him in 1967, Indonesia's military slaughtered 500,000 communists (or unfortunates who were mistaken for communists). When Ann Dunham chose to follow Lolo Soetero to Indonesia in 1967, she brought the six-year-old Barack into the kitchen of anti-colonialist outrage, immediately following one of the worst episodes of civil violence in post-war history.
Dunham's experience in Indonesia provided the material for a doctoral dissertation celebrating the hardiness of local cultures against the encroaching metropolis. It was entitled, "Peasant blacksmithing in Indonesia: surviving against all odds". In this respect Dunham remained within the mainstream of her discipline. Anthropology broke into popular awareness with Margaret Mead's long-discredited Coming of Age in Samoa (1928), which offered a falsified ideal of sexual liberation in the South Pacific as an alternative to the supposedly repressive West. Mead's work was one of the founding documents of the sexual revolution of the 1960s, and anthropology faculties stood at the left-wing fringe of American universities.
In the Global South, anthropologists went into the field and took matters a step further. Peru's brutal Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path) guerilla movement was the brainchild of the anthropologist Efrain Morote Best, who headed the University of San Cristobal of Huamanga in Ayacucho, Peru, between 1962 and 1968. Dunham's radicalism was more vicarious; she ended her career as an employee of international organizations.

The reason Obama won, and is currently popular, is women. And White guys. No one, and I mean NO ONE, likes White guys. At all. Certainly not White women. Who HATE HATE HATE Beta males, and equalism, and niceness, and sexual egalitarianism, and all the other stuff found in White guys.
White women eat up Obama like a double helping of ice cream at an Oprah marathon. He's BLACK. HE is the most anti-White guy possible. And White guy is an insult. It means, sexless drone and eunuch. See Victor Davis Hanson.
If most White guys acted like say, the characters in Sons of Anarchy, or Don Draper, that's one thing. Women would love that. But they don't. They just don't have the a-hole dominance that women in a mostly equal society crave like crazy.
Obama is the anti-White guy President. For most (and I mean about 85%) White women that's enough. He doesn't have to do anything else. And anything he does is excused like Teen girls drooling over Chris Brown. If you are an Alpha male (sexual dominance over women) you can get away with anything and everything with them. What you do does not matter — it is what you present.
White women don't care about the corpses of non-Alpha White guys dragged around by Muslim Alphas. They just don't. Never have. Never will. They care about the biggest anti-beta-Male-White guy on the Planet — Barack Obama. That's harsh and ugly but human nature. It won't change any ten thousand years soon.September 12, 2012 - 3:34 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

The new and revised definition of a "philanderer" is a Republican that cheats on his wife and disgraces his family. Such an individual self-identifies by his behavior as a disgusting hypocrite and one of amoral character which certainly disqualifies him from holding public office. A Democrat who behaves in exactly the same fashion is known as an interesting and exciting "stud" who demonstrates a "complex personality" and is one who will liberate us from our prudish hang-ups if elected to public office. Only if you wish Obama re-eleected should you reveal his sexual prowess to the female electorate. Get with the program, Judge.September 13, 2012 - 5:45 am Link to this Comment | Reply

The "natural enemy" that Obama has fits in nicely with the rundown of Obama's women: a woman from Alaska who saw very clearly what he was about, and she rose to hit him hard. The marginalization of her as an idiot, a hick, which involved the reflex that inevitably appeals to "elites," insulting people with common sense, undercuts their haplessness now in the face of problems that consume us all.

That doesn't make the slave trade any less disgusting. If African-Americans can't forgive America — despite the ocean of blood spent during the Civil War to right the wrong — I won't judge them. But I won't vote for a candidate who resents America.
We are affirmatively actioning them into positions of power inside all of our institutions….including our legislatures, military, education system, government bureacracies of all levels and stripes, corporations, etc.

So do I, just by the 2004 presidential election results against John Kerry: 2.5% popular vote margin and 286/251 Electoral College results. That election should not have been a squeaker.
Or his various admissions about how low a priority he made replying to the vicious attacks on Bush (granted, some of that seems to Bush's style).

Not so many moons ago, I, then a junior in high school, following a perusal of my American history textbook, commented to my teacher that, in the version of the American Civic Religion that we were studying, slavery/racism seemed to play a role very similar to that of Original Sin in Christian theology. Not only was to the national conscience to be burdened with specific injustices and crimes but also the general failure to perfectly live up to the promise ( to hold it as self evident "that all men are created equal") that defines our national mission. The difference, and the real tragedy, is that no one ever promised an ecumenical civic-messiah would come and wash away our sins with miraculous waters. This of course does not prevent various pretenders from trying to claim that post, as we have learned and will continue to learn to our detriment.September 12, 2012 - 8:41 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

I would like to be able to say that this essay is prescient, but it is not. Mr. Goldman is an extremely astute observer of the evidence, and what has happened in the past is likely to happen again in the future, barring some direction changing events.
I have a couple of comments: I believe the essay is now a little dated by dint of Obama's extraordinary obeisance to Islam in all its manifestations with the notable, but circumscribed exception of the drone attacks. In view of Obama's behavior vis-a-vis Islam (and his correspondingly negligible embrace of any other religion), it is impossible to conclude that Obama is not a Muslim. Any denial on his part is simply "taqqiya." In his notorious interview with George Stephanopoulos in ?2011 wherein he referred to his "Muslim faith," he forgot to utilize "taqqiya." Slips of the tongue are not innocent.
Secondly, I believe the jury is now far more out on the identity of Obama's father. To my knowledge, there is no evidence of the marriage of Obama, Sr. and Stanley Ann Dunham. Obama, Sr. left Hawaii for Harvard where, evidently, he did not impress, and Immigration knew he had a family in Kenya. He attempted to utilize the "fact" of his putative family in Hawaii to wangle an extension of his visa, but, evidently, the immigration people knew what they were doing in those days and followed the law, and Obama, Sr. had to leave.
In my opinion, Obama's father is almost certainly Frank Marshall Davis. Google the pictures of Davis and of Obama, Sr., and the conclusion is ineluctable. As an anthropologist myself, it is evident that Obama, Sr. has many characteristics of a native of Sub-saharan Africa. Very dark skin, flat nose. Davis, on the other hand, appears to be a mulatto, much like Obama. It would have been awkward for Davis to have had a child by Stanley Ann Dunham as he was a contemporary of Dunham's parents, was a black nationalist/communist, and was already married. The "quid pro quo" for Obama, Sr. to be designated the father of BHO is that he would be given a card to play in his immigration efforts at no financial cost.September 12, 2012 - 9:08 pm Link to this Comment | Reply
You're mostly correct….
However, Harvard University officials outed Obama Sr.'s sexual status as an attempted bigamist to the State Department.
Those letters, and more, have been released to the WWW by the DoS within the last two years.
He was literally kicked out of Harvard — on the purported eve of his dissertation — for his sin.
Obama Jr. is blood type AB — per revelations by the SS to the British press.
Perhaps someone on this planet knows what FMD's blood type was.
AB is by far the rarest of the common blood types.
It may permit exclusion of one bigamist or the other. ( Both were married — and FMD wrote of a 'fictive' copulation with a white teenager under his pen name. )
With an inception date of 11-04-1960 — election day — it would stand to reason the FMD would celebrate the defeat of the hyper-anti Commie: RMN.
FMD would also explain Stanley Ann's decision to drop off Barry in Hawaii — straight into the arms of this biological father and maternal grandparents.
And truth to tell, I resided directly under his grandparent's condo — one block from Punahou — back in 1983.
This gave me repeated opportunities to witness Barry getting chewed out by his 'tutu' — in the elevator — in the manner of a Marine DI.
Since she was a numbers whiz — you can take his life long innumeracy as a rebellion against her.
And, of course, her screamfests were directly triggered by Barry's passive aggressive anti-authority rebellion antics.
So, now you no why his Federal budget submissions to Congress are absolute non-starters.
He can't even correct the decimal point when his teleprompter scrolls up "crude oil is $1.20 per BARREL." (!!!!)
Yes, he repeated the boner.
ONLY a fulsomely innumerate man would not correct the error, on the fly.
This is also why Barry hasn't a clue as to why ZIRP, financial repression and $ 1,100,000,000,000 deficits might be a clear and present danger.September 13, 2012 - 1:29 am Link to this Comment | Reply
Obama, Valerie & Michelle need to take five minutes and watch a video prepared by a retired accountant named Hal Mason. (I'm a retired accountant too and Hal hit the jackpot on sources).
Google Hal Mason Youtube Debt
Mr. Mason explains why the US Congress isn't balancing the budget. They can't. The tax dollars raised from individuals and businesses and a few other taxes is ALL USED UP to pay interest on the debt, pay retired federal workers, pay transfer payments (SSI, Social Security, etc.) and pay entitlements like Medicaire, Medicaid, coming soon Obamacare, etc.
Who says so? The President! Hal Mason uses on-line White House Budget documents prepared by the OMB to support every fact in his video.
The rest of the government ( DOD, DOJ, DOE, etc., operates on the $100 billion a month the Treasury borrows.
The president is going to end this borrowing right away, right? Google White House 2013 Budget Table 7.l. Mr. Obama plans to borrow $1 trillion annually in his second term – his debt table asserts this.
Let's suppose you or I over-borrowed and could no longer pay the lender the interest much less the principal, or any other daily obligations. How long would it take to a) lose your electricity, gas, and water, b) lose your mortgaged residence, autos, etc. c) lose any other liquid assets, retirement accounts, etc. d) lose the ability to purchase food, gasoline, and other necessities.
Failure to be informed of what has actually occurred in history to economically failed states will not prevent reality from asserting itseslf. The only hint of personal satisfaction of being right about any of this is that if trucks can't find gas to deliver food to my grocery store, neither will they be able to do so to celebrity grocery stores. George Clooney, Susan Sarandon, et al, go out to the central valley and hope some farmer will let you pick lettuce for food.September 13, 2012 - 4:06 am Link to this Comment | Reply
After you watch Mr. Mason's video, send the URL to your young adults and other family members who, like all of us, haven't find the country's financial facts on CBS, ABC, NBC, or anywhere else.
It's only five minutes to watch, but unless we wake up from our stupor, put aside our gimme gimme demands, and elect politicians who say the truth and how they are going to fix this, America will make the Greece civil disorders look like a Mary Poppins movie. Flash mobs are just a warm up to what's coming.

I NEVER get tired reading that column, I think I have it committed to memory! I have probably forwarded it to not less than 100 people over the years. It should have been read at the Republican convention. Still dont know why u havent reviewed or commented on 2016. Especially after devoting a column to that book on North Korea. After watching the movie, I forwarded this column to about a half dozen people. Its AMAZING…u were 4 1/2 years ahead of D'Souza!
BTW, this column is in my Spengler Top 5! (Possibly number 1.."What They Didnt Say At Kennibunkport and "Putin for President" r basically in a 3 way tie)As long as u r reprinting, u should have linked the column about "Angry Michelle". They really go hand in hand.
I never get tired of this column. I suspect this will be ur last contribution till the end of the year! Shana Tova.
PS: How much is a subscription to Macro-Strategy? Any discount for longtime fans who r just simple members of the proletariat? I cant help but feel financial Armageddon is around the corner, and I REALLY miss ur columns on finance and ur really great advice.

"When Do We Get to Attack Obama's Character?"
What do you mean? I've been attacking it for years…not that there's much to attack.
20. Cybergeezer
Mr. Goldman, you are on the correct path, and have found a very accurate description of Barrack Dunham. He can't be legally Obama since they were never legally married.
(And why was Obama used as his birth name when his mother is "Stanley Ann Dunham", and his father was absent? Could this be out of resentment of his mother for her family roots? She could have used the name "Kamehameha" since the father was never present, and he has the skin tone of a native Pacific Islander.)
Soetoro would be more legitimate if he were adopted by his step father. But, there is no documentation for that either.
Attacking Barracks character would unleash the thinly veiled anger he possesses and is evident under the veneer.
As I posted at another article;
" "He's just a nice guy" is absolute B.S., and indicates a deep seated fear of establishment Republicans to take him on, to his face, about his lack of character. A "lack of character" is a grave deficiency for anyone in this position of power.
I would set my focus on that if I was debating him."
We already know he is touchy about his appearance; He bristles at the reference to his big ears. Setting him off would release his underlying character flaws.
And your reference to his early years of "anthropologic" indoctrination is precisely on the mark. Hawaii was, and still is, a region of deep seated resentment toward the U.S. and its capitalist culture.
I have lived in Hawaii and had kids in elementary school there. "Haole's" are hated, and it is exposed at the most unexpected times. Hawaiian culture is a fertile ground for the cultivation of a profound hatred of American culture.
BUT, Obama, himself, isn't the most scary part; The mechanism that has enabled him to get where he is and facilitate his political philosophy is.
Removing Obama will not remedy the REAL problem we have with our government. There are many subversives acting openly that have to be confronted.
The Democrat Party is the vehicle for the sedition, and is being collaborated with by the media who have the behavior of the average parasite.
Obama is being used by the Democrat Party as a distraction to take the focus off of the most vile culprits operating in Congress.
I appreciate PJM and the articles they publish to expose the tyranny. But, they are small patches in a much larger sinister quilt being cobbled together by a substantial seditious community within our government.

"The George W. Bush administration has squandered a great strategic advantage in a sorry lampoon of nation-building in the Muslim world, and has made enemies out of countries that might have been friendly rivals, notably Russia."
Mr. Goldman, the above is, in my opinion, the most far seeing sentence you wrote in the essay. It is amazing to me how so many Americans have missed the implications of the lost opportunity with Russia. It wasn't just the Bush administration either; Clinton was just as guilty and for both administrations Serbia was the real sticking point as far as the Russians are concerned. Those who know some history will understand why I say this.September 13, 2012 - 6:22 am Link to this Comment | Reply

U.s. and Russia could be the grain and crude superpowers of the world — Russia has just begun to exploit its fallow Siberian collective farms and the potential of climate change to thaw its north. Besides bulleon crude and food are what you can base a soft commodities backed currency standard on, and one that China would gladly go along with so they know their dollars won't be turned to funny money.
But no. Romney's advisors are stuck on Cold War stupid, so much that they can't even notice the Russian army buying Israeli drones contradicting their grand no. 1 geopolitical adversary narrative, or that the type of people who just attacked our Embassies in Libya and Egypt are precisely the ones that Putin's guns have thus far prevented from conquering Syria.September 13, 2012 - 1:53 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

"There's nothing in American culture with which to compare him, which is what makes him dangerous: he is an invasive pest with no natural enemies."
No natural enemies? Sure there are. You've had the newest great awakening in people dedicated to the preservation of the US Constitution. You have the Tea Parties. You have the rise of conservatism and the war on liberalism. And, most of all, you had the huge Democratic defeat in 2010, which showed that Americans will not tolerate rampant "social justice," which is just another term for socialism.
I must be one of the few people out there that actually thinks Obama will lose by A LOT on election day. I really don't see anything that has changed since 2010. The American people are just as angry, the economy is just as bad, and the prospects of another four years of Obama are just as dark as they've ever been. So why would the American people all of a sudden decide that Obama wasn't that bad and should get another four years? There is no reason on earth why the Republicans can't do as well as they did in 2010, when Obama wasn't even on the ticket. In November Obama WILL BE on the ticket, so Republicans and Conservatives will be even more motivated to get out and vote to teach the liberals a lesson they will never forget. So I think Obama will lose and lose badly, if 2010 was any indication of how angry this nation really is.September 13, 2012 - 6:43 am Link to this Comment | Reply
LShip. Let's hope and pray that you are correct. But then the next issue becomes a question of whether or not there is sufficient anger to translate into the painful determination to correct the damage done. As pointed out by a commenter above we are rocketing toward trillion dollar annual deficits that will soon send us over the fiscal cliff. The tax policies and spending cuts necessary to stop this catastrophe will not be painless and certainly not beyond scorn by the media and Democrats. Does the American public possess the foresight, intelligence, and fortitude to endure what is necessary to prevent disaster and do we have the leadership in the feckless Republican party establishment to bring it all off? I have limited faith in the former and none in the latter. Even with a defeated Obama we may still lose our beloved America. We simply may not be up to the job. Pray that such is not the case.September 13, 2012 - 7:36 am Link to this Comment | Reply

I hate that we can't trust Mitt to get aggressive with Obama over policy.

I remember being blown away by this article. It has stood the test of time. Just the other day, I referenced this prescient article in an effort to explain Obama's hatred of the United States.
You were uniquely able to articulate how so many of us felt. And I think this is because of your background: Well-versed in the Bible and a student of History and Global Economics. You reference the 1955 Bandung Conference in your article and I assume your thinking on the Bandung Generation was influenced by Paul Johnson's 'Modern Times.' In my understanding of your writing and of Johnson's, Obama in some respects represents the thinking of the Bandung Generation. Bandung's leaders believed that they should be worshiped in place of G-d and Bandung's cardinal philosophy seemed to be that the rightness or wrongness of one's actions was dependent on which race or group one belongs to, not based on one's actions. Needless to say, this philosophy is in direct contrast to America's Judeo-Christian founding ethic of personal responsibility and belief in a loving Creator.
I know one thing: Obama does not speak for me. The first line of your article still gives me goosebumps: "Cherchez la femme…" May Obama be defeated and may he and his policies be blotted out from the history books.September 13, 2012 - 8:27 am Link to this Comment | Reply

Their poor and their angry find meaning in lust–
Brutal lives drift on sand covered seas.
These outcasts profess they may murder the just,
Unless free men renounce liberty.
They find thrills and adventure in the heat of the crowds–
The destruction of honest men's work.
But the rush of the riot somehow never allows,
Any questions about their goals' worth.
We had signs of their vision of bloody redress—
False "reprisals" for offenses contrived.
But our own Socialist Masters ignored each request,
To forestall or repel crafted lies.
So our self-absorbed "leaders" claimed they were "shocked",
To see vengeance unearned burning bright.
When our citizens were slain, and our liberty mocked,
Corrupt Media raged like whores in the night.
Yes, our "sages" went whoring on the "5 O'clock news",
And colluded with our enemies abroad.
And our socialist papers defiled honest views,
Of those Patriots who renounced them as gods.
Our Republic is shaky, our confidence dims,
All the world now perceives us as weak.
Unless we first reject our enemies within—
Then our foreign foes win all they seek.

I truly understand why so many Americans cannot wrap their minds about the real truth of what bo is about. Every day for over 2 years, despite reading all of bo's books and the writing of his influencing associates, plus at least 6 hours per day reading online related material, I STILL could not make myself accept we had a president, who's goal was the destruction of America. That just couldn't be!. Surely he was JUST the most liberal liberal we have ever had in the WH.
My mind refused to accept the truth even after 100s and 100s of hours on convincing evidence…a POTUS wanting to destroy America is as unthinkable as a mother killing and eating her children…it just UNTHINKABLE. I MUST not being objective enough.
Once a person "accepts" bo's goal of DESTRUCTION, then evrything he's done, is doing, PLANS to do makes perfect sense.
People, still delusional, try to be polite and remark that bho just doesn't UNDERSTAND this, or that, or ….
He knows EXACTLY what he's doing!
To destroy a 100 story building, does not require destroying every square foot of the building. A relatively small amount of explosives on a small number of vital structural supports will collapse/destroy the entire building.
I hope people will embrace the TRUTH of his destruction goal….but I doubt it will happen.

I'm sorry, I just don't buy that obama "is not a bad man".
Every con man who ever lived and a high percentage of psychopaths have been well-liked, even loved. That's the basis of the con.
obama is destroying the greatest country that ever existed, rivaled only by England. If the United States falls, the death and destrution that will occur will rival historical catastophes like the Black Plague and WWII. It probably won't be as obvious, unless there is a rapid major war, but it will certainly happen.

A few years pre-Obama, there was kind of a wave of talk about "reparations" for slavery. Then it stopped, because Obama came along and he personifies that idea. He IS the reparations, and he has exacted a terrible price (ironically, paid largely by blacks). Hopefully we can retire him soon and move on. The damage will take a huge effort to repair though. Will Mitt and the Reps be up to it? Highly doubtful, but the only hope we have at this point.September 13, 2012 - 7:57 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

Here is the mistake I made just like the Mormons. I believed Israel had the "City of David" but this is wrong and Israel today represents the 10 tribes and we know the old story of what happened to the 10 tribes then lost until our modern time
Thus the " City of David" is in USA because this is a Jesus story and we are attempting to save the 10 tribes from destruction. If we do not I suspect the two tribes are also lost in the future yet faith delays this as wee see with faithful Hezikia
I believe the secret of this is by making USA not the two tribe but 3 tribe , Christian Jew and Islam and a far greater respect from Islam for the Jew Jesus so we can protect the 10 tribes

And when did, from the evidence before us since the left-wing ideologues were given so much of the direction of the nation did ideology and the love of money become different objectives.
Look around. Only when without power do the left, or any other for that matter, ideologues boo-hiss money. Especially those who live on generous trust funds from the people whose efforts and creations made all the filthy lucre so frowned upon.
Show me one leftwinger, rich in money and power who donates his own money, as many not rich ordinary people without special ideology except sometime Christianity do all the time with no fanfare. Where are the generous contributions to their poor from all the Kennedys, the Clintons, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton and of course both the Obamas?.

Cannetille decoration was first used during the early 19th century when wars in Europe depleted the availability of gold. It was a technique which allowed a small amount of gold to appear far more substantial and with a grander bearing. Yellow 18 k gold, spun into wisps and flourishes hug warm brilliant citrines. This example dates to later in the century but retains the same flair and proportion of the Georgian examples while keeping open an eye on the budget.
Each teardrop shaped citrine is about 3.3 carats and the top oval citrines 1.4 carats for a total weight of 9.4 carats. The warm butterscotch hues mixed with golden sunshine amber along with the yellow gold are glorious. While appearing to be heavy these earrings are light and very wearable.
Condition: Excellent
Measurements: 2-3/8 inches (6.1 cm) in length by 1 inch (2.6 cm) at the widest. This pair of antique earrings has a weight of 12.5 grams (8 dwt).
Date: Circa 1880

City Center is currently playing host to a theater series dedicated to off-Broadway musicals, and NY1's Frank DiLella has a preview of the final show in the series, the musical "I'm Getting My Act Together and Taking it on the Road."
The pro-feminist 1970s hit "I'm Getting My Act Together and Taking it On the Road" may not be hitting the road, but it's certainly in the spotlight in New York at City Center.
The rock-infused musical follows a 30-something divorcee named Heather Jones who uses her nightclub act as a way of self-expression and self-empowerment.
The musical was written by Gretchen Cryer and Nancy Ford. Cryer, who starred in the original 1978 production, spoke about the genesis of the show.
"Nancy and I had wanted to write about the journey that women had been through, women who came out of the 50s and all the changes they had gone through, but we didn't know how to write it," Cryer says. "Then, we started doing our own cabaret act, and we were doing songs that we called "A Scrapbook of Our Lives," and they were very personal songs. And so one night, while we were performing in the cookery, right in the middle of singing one of the songs, I thought, 'Oh my God, this is the way to write it. We'll make it be about a cabaret singer who's put together a whole new group of songs that really express the real truth of her life.'"
Now playing the role of Heather Jones is actress Renee Elise Goldsberry. Goldsberry says she feels like Cryer is passing her the torch with taking on this character.
"To be a part of what was so revolutionary in 1978 and to be standing here in 2013 and still feel like it's brave is really astounding," Goldsberry says.
And unlike the original production, this version is directed by a woman, Tony Award winner Kathleen Marshall.
"It's wonderful to sort of remind people where we were as a culture in a society in 1978 and sort of see how much has changed and how some things haven't changed," Marshall says.
"I'm Getting My Act Together and Taking it on the Road" marks the final show for the summer Encores! series. Performances begin on July 24.

How to take dance lessons
How I did it: Signed up for a 5-week introduction to Tango at the Century Ballroom in Seattle. It was an hour-long night class once per week. I signed up with a friend but in class they encourage people to switch partners between songs, in order to broaden your exposure to various skill levels and techniques. "Takes two to Tango" is a cliche whose validity became strikingly clear over the course of the class. Dancing with random strangers spanned the range from awkward to flirty, humbling to inspiring, graceful to downright klutzy.
Lessons & tips: Take the class during non-summer months. The ballroom is a sauna on hot days and sweating on strangers during round-robin dance partnering is, you know, not cool.

Wow, that sounds like fun! There is a ballroom dancing session coming up in my local area next month that I have been looking at going to. No men up here in Montana are willing to go and ballroom dance, though. Sad!!
That's too bad. If I hadn't heard that the average Montana woman you might get paired up with is unlikely to bathe, I'd suggest that you take the class anyway. Ha ha.
charityalonso is exhausted!!!!
Hey now, I am a MT girl, and I bathe quite regularly—-thankyou.
Unfortunately, I cannot speak for the other burly Montana women who may be foxtrotting with me ;)

Buyer Beware!
Not one of the four scoops fit into their slots on the canisters. I had to file them down on one side to get them to fit. Not worth the trouble of returning.
Very Poorly Made
Maybe I just got the runt of the bunch but not one of the four containers close like they should. You have to pull to the left to get the tops to go down straight to close. The seals are all crooked. The spoons do not fit into the slots provided. My husband had to use a electric sander to shave off some of the metal so the spoon handles would go in the slots.
These jars a re pretty good. They are also stylish. I wish that it didn't have the latch lids though. But otherwise a very good product.I recommend this product.

These canisters are a great size (not too heavy when full). They are, maybe, the only ones I have seen with handles. The handles make carrying them a lot easier and thus the canaisters don't slip out of your hands to the floor and create a HUGE mess! I highly recommend them !I recommend this product.

Questions and Answers
Got a question about the 2014 Louisville Slugger Z-3000 Balanced ASA Slow Pitch Softball Bat: SBZ314-AB? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.Ask A Question
Can you use this bat in USSSA? Going back and forth between leagues and would like a bat I can use in both.
The 2014 Louisville Slugger Z-3000 Balanced ASA Slow Pitch Softball Bat (SBZ314-AB) is only certified for play in ASA. It does not have the USSSA stamp. Here is a link to all the models we currently have that have both the ASA and USSSA stamps: http://goo.gl/81noAl
There have been many durability complaints and concerns about the Z-2000 & Z-3000 bats. What insight do you have about these concerns and the durability problems. I've seen and heard testimony where new Z-3000's have 4" cracks after a dozen or less swings. Is this bat truly unreliable for durability, or is more likely many of the accounts have somehow misused the bat? Like using older balls or hitting it in cold weather?
The 2014 Louisville Slugger Z-3000 Balanced ASA (SBZ314-AB Slow Pitch) will be a very high performing bat. It is in fact created for the softer, more mushy .52 core balls. Hitting the harder .44 core balls may lower the durability of this bat at a quicker pace. The recommended temperature for use is 60 degrees or above.
Is this bat's barrel multi-wall? My league has recently banned multi-wall bats, and I'm not sure what the difference is between multiple walls and multi-layer composite.
This 2014 Louisville Slugger Z-3000 Balanced ASA (SBZ314-AB) Slow Pitch bat features the S1ID Inner Disc technology which your league will likely consider a Multi-Wall barrel design. You probably cannot use the Z-2000 or Z-3000 models because of this, but I would absolutely check with a league director. They should be able to provide a list of approved and non-approved bats. All composite bats are composed of multiple layers of materials, other than models like the COMBAT Portent that indicate otherwise, so it can be a bit confusing to decipher between the two.
› See all 4 questions about the 2014 Louisville Slugger Z-3000 Balanced ASA Slow Pitch Softball Bat: SBZ314-AB
Product Description
New for 2014! The hottest bat in slow pitch softball just got hotter! Regarded as one of the most technologically advanced bats on the field, the Z-3000 brings its S1iD Technology back to the diamond and pairs it with Louisville Slugger's new Tru3 Technology. This first ever 3-piece technology was created to strengthen the link between the barrel and handle, and give the Z-3000 a trampoline spring and dramatically reduced vibration on contact. This straighter, thicker rubber ring results in a bat that's not only sturdier, but feels better with every swing! The three-piece Z-3000 is built entirely from Louisville Slugger's 360 Composite. This thinner, high-strength, and lightweight composite is made from graphite fibers that allow more durability, while reducing overall wall thickness. Inside the barrel, SWING 1 inner Disc (S1iD) Technology allows the walls to flex to their maximum allowable level... even on the first swing! S1iD means that you get a larger, higher performing sweet spot right out of the wrapper! The Z-3000 features an end-loaded 12 inch pro-style barrel and a 7/8 inch standard handle with a newly designed synthetic grip for an outstanding feel. Louisville Slugger: Champions Swing Slugger! The Z-3000 is approved for play in ASA and ISF. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Apple and LTE: What to Expect
The following commentary comes from an independent investor or market observer as part of TheStreet's guest contributor program, which is separate from the company's news coverage.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Have you ever used LTE? If you live in the U.S. and you consider the four major carriers, using LTE means Verizon Wireless (VZ), which has launched LTE in most major cities. Verizon has at least three smartphones, two mobile hotspots and one tablet available with LTE, with many more LTE products coming in the next few weeks alone.
The speeds available on Verizon's LTE network are dramatically superior to any other cellular data network. I typically get 15-20 meg down and 7-12 meg up. More importantly, latency is what counts for most experiences, including Voice over IP (VoIP) and video chat.The latency on Verizon's LTE is about four times better (i.e,. lower) than other cellular data networks.
AT&T (T) is set to launch LTE in the next few weeks, initially in five cities followed by another 10 cities in the fourth quarter. Both Verizon and AT&T look to be "done" with building out LTE for about 95% of the U.S. population by the end of 2013. Sprint (S) and its 50%-owned Clearwire (CLWR) are also looking to add LTE starting perhaps by the end of 2012, but realistically in 2013.If you want to buy a smartphone or tablet today with embedded LTE, your only choice is Android. No iOS, no BlackBerry from Research In Motion (RIMM), no Microsoft (MSFT) Windows. How soon does Apple (GGOG) want to engage with Google's (GOOG) Android on the LTE playing field? If history is any guide, probably not until closer to mid-2012. Here are the issues. 1. Apple's radio technology conservatism Apple is a very innovative company in many areas, including industrial design, software and services. One area in which Apple is very conservative, however, is with respect to adopting new radio technologies. Specifically, when the first iPhone launched in 2007, it was EDGE only, despite that HSPA ("3G") was commonplace in the market. Here is one of the problems with this theory: It is based on exactly one data point, the first iPhone in 2007 as I mentioned. We talk about Apple being so conservative in its choice of radio technology, but seriously -- one data point?

Just an observation, watching the show it did NOT show any sauce being added to the angle hair pasta before it was put on top of the eggplant, but when the camera showed the pasta being placed on top of the eggplant before rolling it up, it definitely had been mixed in sauce; it was red!
There needs to be more attention paid to the details.

September through the end of November is a special time at Memorial Park Library. For three glorious months Calgary Public Library cardholders have access to the guidance and expertise of their very own Writer in Residence. If you haven't taken advantage of this wonderful service in the past, go directly to our 2014 Writer-in-Residence page to meet this year's resident - Rosemary Nixon.
Not only does this program offer Calgary's aspiring writers free manuscript consultation, but also ninety days of public programs designed to inspire, teach, and connect. Registration for Rosemary's workshops, presentations, and readings will begin next Monday, August 18, and are likely going to fill up quick.
For individual manuscript consultation, we can begin submitting work at Memorial Park Library after September 1, according to the submission guidelines. Two weeks later, on Thursday, September 18, join us for the 2014 Writer in Residence "Welcome & Program Launch" as we kick things off at historic Memorial Park Library. Starting at 7 p.m. Rosemary will read from a selection of her works and outline plans for her residency. A reception will follow.
As always with the delicate act of absorbing writing wisdom from a professional, knowing a teacher's work will multiply a student's grasp by inordinate amounts. To get the most out of this year's Writer in Residence, here's your homework:
Are You Ready to be Lucky?
Are You Ready to Be Lucky? If so, meet Roslyn, a spirited divorcée eager for new beginnings.
Meet Duncan, a British conman with a penchant for collecting ex-wives. Meet Floyd, a hard-living contractor who can fix anyone's house but his own. Irritating, vulnerable, hopeful, they ricochet off one another, trailing a mess of family and friends, all of them trying to beat the odds and find happiness. With razor-sharp wit, Rosemary Nixon takes on the chaos and absurdity of friendship, marriage, divorce, and betrayal—and the heart-pounding, breathtaking, always astonishing complexities of luck and love.
Kalila chronicles the lives of Maggie and Brodie, whose joy collides with devastation when their daughter's birth also heralds the news of her congenital heart condition.
In this startlingly inventive novel, Rosemary Nixon braids light and darkness into a narrative chain pulled exquisitely taut. Through Maggie and Brodie's shifting viewpoints; the isolating impenetrability of hospital life; and the mediation of physics, music, and family, Nixon propels the reader into unmapped emotional terrain where a shell-shocked family grapples with the horror, joy, and mystery of impermanence. The result is a spellbinding tale, provocative for the emotions and the intellect.
The Cock's Egg
Magic and witchcraft are as much a part of the African landscape as are ghostly white egrets fluttering into blue jungle clearings, or copper-coloured frangipani blossoms growing against white-washed mud walls. Dislocation, isolation, and desire are hauntingly encompassed in these wonderful stories of Canadians living in a foreign landscape. And always the witchcraft of the cock's egg shapes myths, permeates lives, and maps a country whose changing face finds its inhabitants stealing power through the transformation of the body.
*Available only in Central Library's CHFH Local History room.
Mostly Country
With this first collection of short stories, Rosemary Nixon's Wadden joins Manawaka and Agassiz on the landscape of Canadian fiction. Wadden, where farm and town, church and post office draw the limits of experience and escape. In prose of unnerving clarity, the individual lives of interwoven families unfold and overlap. There are: Fay Leichty, who lives at the very centre of the community in shamed silence; Kevin McClancy, unable to cross the boundaries of the Mennonite church and family; Rita Steckley, who during an encounter with a boy and the town tough, discovers the cruelties of desire. And many more. Through memory, through fantasy, through differing versions of events and places as far away as Zaire, Mostly Country creates the people of Wadden. A reading experience to be enjoyed.

Federal probe ends with no charges filed
|Bridgewater First Selectman William T. Stuart
BRIDGEWATER — Almost two years after federal agents raided Bridgewater Town Hall and confiscated more than 20 boxes of files and documents, the investigation of uncertain origin concluded Friday with no criminal charges against former First Selectman William T. Stuart.
"It's a relief for the town," said First Selectman Curtis S. Read, who at the time of the raid was on the Board of Selectmen but not in the top seat. "And hopefully whatever feud started this will dissipate."

Somak Ghosh: A Contrarian Approach to Impact Investing
Somak Ghosh was a founding member of YES Bank which, less than nine years after starting its operation, is now the fourth largest private sector bank in India. Last year he stepped down from his role at Motilal Private Equity to launch a new venture capital fund, Contrarian Capital, targeting underpenetrated markets in India. He tells Ben Thurman why he decided to move on from this role and how he aims to move the idea of investing in BoP businesses from niche to mainstream.
Ben Thurman: After two decades at Rabo Bank and YES Bank, you were awarded a public service fellowship at Harvard in 2011. What impact did this sabbatical have on your career goals?
Somak Ghosh: I pretty much knew what I wanted to do before I went to Harvard. In fact, it was part of a planned exit strategy from my role at YES Bank. But while I knew I wanted to create a fund for small growing businesses, my time at Harvard allowed me to flesh out the idea and sharpen the focus of exactly where I wanted to position the fund.
Thurman: When you returned, you were hired by Motilal Oswal Private Equity to launch a Sustainable Social Impact fund. Why was this idea ultimately abandoned and what did you learn from the experience?
Ghosh: The key element of my association with Motilal Oswal Group was that I would strengthen their real estate business and they, in turn, would provide a $5 million investment commitment to the fund, which would be set up as a 50:50 partnership. I felt it was a win-win combination.
Unfortunately, between an individual and a large organization the balance of power is with the organization. So while Motilal never really pulled out of the social enterprise venture, in terms of priority it never really got off the ground. Once this became clear I decided to move on and do this on my own.
The lesson that I learnt is clearly this: partnership is best consummated between equals.
Thurman: The name of your fund – Contrarian Capital – suggests an innovative approach. How are you different from other established players in the impact investing space?
Ghosh: Impact investment is a large domain but there are few funds – maybe 10% of total stakeholders – that are strictly for-profit with a strong social purpose. Most focus on the social impact and financially are about being sustainable, which means cost-coverage rather than providing investors with an opportunity for superior returns. That is one key area of difference.
Secondly, one of the outcomes we hope to achieve is "mainstreaming the industry." Unless we can mainstream this asset class, global asset managers will never commit significant sums of money. That's really important: this sector cannot remain niche, cannot remain CSR-oriented. We need to develop a broader stakeholder base not only for Contrarian, but for the industry as a whole.
Thurman: Many entrepreneurs complain of a lack of funds, while investors cite a lack of investible enterprises. Do you think there is a capital gap? Or do you see a lack of entrepreneurship?
Ghosh: My personal view is that it's a capital gap; and that gap is accentuated by the not-always-helpful capital that is available. Often businesses access a lot of grant capital and their vision for the business, their focus – or lack of focus – on cost control and profitable growth take a beating. Because early "investors" who are essentially philanthropic grant-makers do not instill that consciousness, when the entrepreneur is looking for more mainstream capital, they fall short of the mark.
The second part is the confusion that persists in this sector: there are too many non-investible businesses because people with societal goals are confusing the issue. Often their business model is not suitable for somebody who wants a return of capital. So there appears to be a lot of funds in this business; but only a small proportion of funds and a small proportion of entrepreneurs are focused on delivering mainstream returns measured on mainstream metrics and delivering a social service. In this particular segment, I believe there is a capital gap.
Thurman: Why have India-focused funds struggled to deliver returns in recent years?
Ghosh: I would say that global investors and limited partners need to be a little bit more discerning about the kind of fund managers they are putting their resources in. India is a difficult country to invest in and funds which are raised in London or New York will be far less successful than funds which are run by local investment managers, with local teams on the ground with understanding of local business environment and challenges.
Thurman: You anticipate that the bulk of your investment will be in India's fourteen poorest states. Why?
Ghosh: These states present a unique demographic opportunity. Along with the overall abysmal infrastructure, local state government is unable to meet its financial obligations. So there is a segment of the population that is not theoretically poor, but in actual terms is poor because their cash flow is insecure and highly dependent on a bankrupt state exchequer. If somebody is able to devise products of value targeting this economically floating population, it opens up huge business opportunities in offering healthcare or energy and water access.
Thurman: You spent a lot of time at YES Bank working on agribusiness – is this something you'll look to continue?
Ghosh: In the development of my personal and professional interest in working with low-income populations, the two big domains that really influenced my thinking were agribusinesses and renewable energy businesses. Through this I came into closer contact with rural India and low-income populations, and that made me realize both the opportunity as well as the massive positive social impact that one could achieve. Definitely agribusiness remains a core area of focus.
Thurman: Finally, what advice would you give to an entrepreneur seeking early stage investment?
Ghosh: Most early stage entrepreneurs are so focused on immediate survival that they don't have a long-term vision and don't adopt business strategies which are designed for scale.
The first piece of advice: if you are in business, settle for nothing but scale. Don't imagine yourself as a small business all the time, but think of yourself as a small growing business.
The second piece of advice is to select partners – whether your employees, shareholders, suppliers, vendors, or markets – who support the growth that you are aiming for and don't restrict your growth choices.
