Turning Anger into a Peaceful Heart
Elaine had three children, ages two, four, and seven, and she worked full-time as a computer programmer for a large brokerage company. She had been meeting weekly with Rick for several months, talking about her marriage with Dennis, before she felt comfortable enough to tell her deepest, darkest secret. Normally self-controlled and forthright, her voice was sad and hesitant: Sometimes I get pretty mad at my kids. Like yesterday. I was making lunches for day care, and running late. I heard Leo and Nick start screaming at each other. Dennis had already taken Ariana to school, so I go into the living room and they're fighting over some stupid toy and Leo shoves his little brother and he falls and hits his head on the floor. I pick up Nick and just start yelling at Leo. He looks scared, but I keep yelling anyway - I'm so tired of him pushing his brother around. He started crying and I stopped yelling. I got a little calmer and we talked about what had happened and how he couldn't hit or shove his brother. It was okay, but I felt upset for a long time afterward. The person I was most mad at for the rest of the day was me.Let's be realistic: its completely normal to get angry with your children. Or with your partner, the in-laws, the staff at preschool - or yourself. Studies have found that the more children a woman has, the more time she spends with them or doing housework, or the more hassles she has with child care or her kids, the more angry she's likely to be. There's no need to feel guilty about anger itself. The real question is, what can you do about it?
On the one hand, anger is a healthy emotion. It shines a bright light on things that should be different - like a child's incessant whining, a partner's broken agreements, or some stupid workplace policy that keeps you from your kids - and energizes you to try to change them. Bottling up anger numbs your other feelings as well, and it wears on your health. Acting like you are not mad when you really are is inauthentic and teaches kids to put on a false face themselves - not a good lesson.
On the other hand, anger takes you on an emotional roller coaster that stresses your body and can leave you feeling bad for hours. And no other emotion has such an impact on relationships. When Mom or Dad gets mad, that's scary and often overwhelming for kids since their parents are so big, powerful, and important. In a marriage, frequent anger is very wounding; after a while, anyone would start wanting to step back from a person who's mad a lot of the time. There's a saying that getting angry with someone is like throwing hot coals with bare hands: both people get burned.
Fortunately, there's a healthy middle path for a mom between tight-lipped self-censoring and boiling-over rage. In this section, we'll be looking at a number of ways to work with anger wisely, inside your own mind.
Stop Things from Building Up
We usually get mad in two stages. First there's the priming: tension, frustration, bodily discomfort, fatigue, gripes, etc., mount up like a growing pile of dynamite. Then comes the firecracker that sets it all off: I got home from a hard day at work, the little one was getting a cold, her big brother was whiny and clingy, and the phone kept ringing. Then the garbage disposal stopped working and the sink wouldn't empty. That was the last straw. It's stupid but I jabbed the drain over and over with the end of a wooden spoon, I was so mad!
During the priming phase, try to defuse things before there's a blowup. Here are a few ideas.
Dont overgive. For example, don't agree to chair the annual fund-raiser at the preschool when you don't really want to and then resent it later. One trick is to imagine asking your future self, the one who will be stuck with the work, how she will feel and what she would like you to do. Another is to adopt the blanket policy of never agreeing to anything until you've had some time to think it over.
Blow off steam as you go along. Try not to accumulate a residue of irritation from individual interactions. Let's say you've just had the usual struggle to wash your daughter's hair. Before shifting gears into the next thing, you could rinse your face with warm water, do something loud and goofy with your child, or shake your arms and exhale vigorously.
Take a break before you get to the breaking point. Most people become quite frayed by the time they've been alone with a young child for three or four hours. Make it a serious priority to find some way, any way, to give yourself a break before your pot boils over. Maybe you need to arrange a regular get-together with another mom, schedule some child care in the middle of the day, or use the video babysitter for half an hour.

(KMOV) – A local car wash refuses to wash two Jeep models over concerns about sudden unintended acceleration.
The Waterway chain of car washes will not wash Jeep Cherokees or Grand Cherokees made before 2011.
"Waterway has experienced an unacceptable number of dangerous and costly accidents involving pre-2011 Jeep Cherokees and Grand Cherokees," a company spokesperson said. "At Waterway, employee and customer safety is our chief concern. Therefore, we have made the decision to stop washing these vehicles."
A spokesman for Chrysler told News 4 the policy is unfair and unjustified and that Jeeps meet or exceed all federal safety standards.
The news comes on the heels of several News 4 stories investigating Hyundai vehicles suddenly accelerating.

China, Spectacle, Fakery
Billions were fooled, but was any real harm done?
By Mark Christiansen | August 13, 2008
If the 21st Century, as I think it very well may, becomes known as the era of Things Are Not As They Seem (if the acronym TANATS catches on, you heard it here first), maybe we'll look at one seemingly harmless moment in 2008 as a watershed.
Perhaps you were one of the billions worldwide who witnessed the Opening Ceremonies of the 2008 Olympics and was fooled by an aerial sequence of 29 giant pyrotechnic footprints leading to Beijing National Stadium, of which only one - the very last - actually occurred as depicted. The preceding 28, representing the Olympic events preceding this one, relied on our old friends the particle simulation, motion control and compositing (not to mention a glance at the Farmer's Almanac for the likeliest weather conditions on the night of the event).
This of course is one more sense in which they would have been really screwed if it had rained that night (as it did all weekend) - and maybe you weren't aware that Chinese officials are even trying to control that.
Not that there aren't other precedents of misrepresentation in the name of controlled spectacle: these organizers evidently wouldn't let the girl who sang the patriotic "Ode to the Motherland" appear as the singer, apparently because among 1.3 billion Chinese there are no sufficiently cute seven year olds with a set of pipes. It's encourage to note the complaints among the Chinese about the message this sends to gifted singers with ordinary looks.
That substitution may lead to some serious need for therapy later in life - by comparison, the fireworks stunt seems harmless enough on the face of it. Sure, one could criticize that:
- even the nation that invented fireworks couldn't pull this off (and it may be significant to note that they really did create firework footprints that night, they just didn't photograph them, evidently due to the hazards of combining aerial photography and pyrotechnics)
- vfx work is reported to have taken a year, which seems to me bad P.R. for the nascent Chinese visual effects industry (yes I'm joking, but if you land a year's budget for a sequence like that, call me)
- even though we're used to computer graphics on our screens all the time, everywhere, this show was just one more big spectacle, so what's a little alleged live TV fakery (hello David Copperfield!)
However, is there any doubt that in this Era of TANATS, something like this will cross the line? It's easy to dismiss claims that the moon landing or Zapruder film were composited - we humans simply weren't very good at that sort of thing in the 1960's. That's a pretty thin argument nowadays, when images continue to shape our lives despite how used we are to their fabrication. My kids routinely ask if fantastic images - including the real ones - are real or fake, and have done so since preschool.
So maybe the question is when will be the first time billions of people are fooled by a fake live transmission and it actually matters to what we think about justice, right and wrong, good or evil?
That sounds grandiose. But this being the Olympics, one need look no further than the athletes themselves, and the question as to whether they have faked their performance with chemistry, to glimpse what a mess is created when we hope the rules of the past will get us through the reality of today, and tomorrow.
NOTE: No less a filmmaker than Errol Morris has posted a thorough and thoughtful blog entry on a related topic.

One small correction: The 29 pyrotechnic footprints actually DID happen in Beijing. The flyover shot was inserted as CGI (a bit squeamish on that one). They deemed an actual helicopter shot too dangerous and unable to track correctly. So, in fact, it was a fabricated representation of an actual event, not a complete fabrication of something that didn't happen. I know, I know, still a fake…but…
I hold hard news to a higher standard than something 'entertainment oriented' like this….so I don't need to get all bent about it.
Mark Christiansen: | August, 13, 2008
That's why I said "it may be significant to note that they really did create firework footprints that night" - I'm entering another clarification, thanks.
Dylan Pank: | August, 16, 2008
It leads us to an interesting philosophic position. If it "doesn't matter" that the images were fakes, then what are the value of the event the images are of? In fact they have no value, they are merely spectacle for it's own sake, emptier than even the most vacuous hollywood blockbuster, say, Transformers, which for all its trite cliches and reactionary politics is actually about _something_. What they try to obscure (China's continuing appalling human right record) therefore becomes ever more important, and Spielberg's decision to pull out seems even more justified.
billS: | August, 19, 2008
here's something for even better fakery….
Check the demo video—pretty damned cool.
"We present a framework for automatically enhancing videos of a static scene
using a few photographs of the same scene. For example, our system can
transfer photographic qualities such as high resolution, high dynamic range
and better lighting from the photographs to the video. Additionally, the
user can quickly modify the video by editing only a few still images of the
scene. Finally, our system allows a user to remove unwanted objects and
camera shake from the video."

Ordering directly from Hackva is a last resort as I'm trying to avoid jacking my cell phone bill up by calling Canada.

A great history of Oil and how it affects our entire life and lifestyle. Very highly recommended to those who are exceptionally curious about the history of Oil and how intertwined is into so much of our 'modern' history (read that as the last 150 years and especially the last 75 years). An excellent presentation of what could be a difficult and confusing history. I learned a lot.
Nov 29, 2007
Without a real understanding of global oil, it's said, it is next to impossible to understand the world we live in.Because for the past century, it's been oil even more than money that's made our world go round. And national incomes in many developed countries to go through the roof.Nobody knows this better than Daniel Yergin, the scholar-author-businessman who is probably the #1 authority on petroleum. In THE PRIZE: THE EPIC QUEST FOR OIL, MONEY & POWER, Yergin has written for us a very lively and very important history.For instance, the need for massive quanities of oil was a major reason Germany invaded Russia who had the great Baku oilfields.Likewise, Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor was mostly about oil. Before heading south to seize the Dutch oilfields in Sumatra, they wanted to make sure the U.S. Pacific fleet would be unable to attack Japanese tankers sailing homeward.In the short run, they succeeded completely. But by the last months of the war, the United States had 75% of the world's oil. And Germany and Japan had virtually none.So when Speer went to Italy to check on the German army (the first "lightning warfare" guys), he saw a German convoy of 150 trucks being powered by 600 Italian oxen.And as the 64 largest Japanese cities suffered months of incessant American fire-bombings (petroleum products from the air), the Japanese air force was able to put up virtually no resistence. In fact, B-29 losses were only about one plane per 1,000 sorties.To make a very long story very short, THE PRIZE is a great read. Not to mention a great re-read or even a great continuous read.If you're smart, you'll keep a copy of this book in the bathroom, another under your pillow and probably another on your desk.

I had no idea about the history and the development of oil, because I had lived most of my life in a rural farming area, and there were no oil refineries or oil fields around. This book was both educational and informative. A GREAT MUST READ BOOK!

I have been on the Atkins diet for over five years and was born a type II diabetic which is why I do not eat any carbs. Apart from the distinct smell when I urinate the ketones away, there are no side affects.
This diet has not only helped me lose weight but it stopped all of the symptoms of my diabetes.
I believe the secret to good health and a long life is a zero-carb diet and an aspirin a day. Throw in a 30 minute walk a day and you'll live until you're 100.
Trust me that your breads, pastas, cakes, potatoes, sugar and your wind producing veggies are not doing you any good at all. You will be fat, bloated and end up with all sorts of health problems. I never even get a cold anymore.
Living off body fat is natural because that's why we store it. Living off sugar from carbs is abnormal and none of your body fat is used; it just sits there like flab. Look at a grossly obese person and now ask yourself does that person eat carbs or fats? The answer will always be carbs.
So do yourself a favor and eat zero carbs and once you get used to it and the large variety of food available, to you then reap the benefits.
I don't even suffer from Atkins breath and that too seems like a myth invented by the very people who don't want you to stop spending your money on carbs and of course, vegetarians hate us healthy meat eaters who have iron in our blood.

There was a really good thread about this on the last forum, but I don't see the thread, since the new changes, so I guess it's time to start from scratch.
To get started with the subject this video might be a good way to start.
This is a good ebook to start with and it has lot's of information.
http://www.gangstalkingworld.com/Handbo ... TheGap.pdf
In short Gang Stalking is a Gang Stalking is a systemic form of control, which seeks to destroy every aspect of a Targeted Individuals life. A covert investigation is opened and the target is followed around 24/7 by Civilian Spies/Snitches. Overt and covert methods are used as part of the surveillance process.
The Informants can be parts of these community oriented policing programs, but often they are just average citizens. Just like with Cointelpro investigations, everyone in the targets life is contacted and asked to be a part of the ongoing, never ending monitoring (systemic harassment), which is designed to destroy the target over years and leave them with no form of support.
A short and simple definition of gang stalking.
What is Gang Stalking?
Gang Stalking is experienced by Targeted Individuals as psychological attack, that is capable of immobilizing and destroying a target over time. The covert methods used often leave no evidence to incriminate the Civilian Spies.
It's similar to workplace mobbing, but takes place outside in the community. It called Gang Stalking, because groups of community Spies organize to stalk and monitor targets 24/7.

Rumors of 'silent coup' as Pakistan President Zardari heads to hospital
Aides to President Zardari rubbish the rumors, which have quickly gained credibility among the Pakistani public because of the perception that this government is on its last legs.
Anjum Naveed/AP/File
Islamabad, Pakistan
Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari has travelled to Dubai for medical treatment, according to top government officials who rubbished reports in the Pakistani media he is about to resign.
Spokesperson Farahnaz Ispahani, who travelled with the president by helicopter yesterday evening, told the Monitor that rumors of Mr. Zardari's impending resignation were "absolute nonsense," adding he had gone for a "routine procedure." Sherry Rehman, ambassador-designate to the United States, who saw the president off in Islamabad on Tuesday evening, says "he needs a check-up and some rest."
Still, Zardari's sudden departure has sparked frenzied speculation inside Pakistan about the possibility of a "silent coup." The theory holds that the unpopular president – who was due to address parliament about a controversial memo allegedly sent by one of his close aides that sought US help in reining in Pakistan's powerful Army – would step aside citing "ill health," paving the way for new leadership more acceptable to the military.
According to Badar Alam, editor of Pakistan's Herald magazine, the rumors have quickly gained credibility among the public because of the perception that this government is on its last legs.
"Look at what has happened in the last two months. The memo scandal, last month's NATO border attack, corruption cases against the government in the Supreme Court, the opposition rallies in the streets, and reports of pressure within the ruling party. All these create an atmosphere of uncertainty," he says.
"I don't know who is behind the rumors. But they definitely weaken the government further. It creates an image of instability in the country and gives the impression that anything can happen at any time," he adds.

Personal details
Name: Vanessa RedgraveBorn: 30 January 1937 (Age: 78)
Where: London, England
Height: 5'11"
Awards: 1 Golden Globe and 1 Oscar
All about this star
Like Dames Judi Dench and Maggie Smith, Vanessa Redgrave has for decades been one of the UK's finest actresses. And, also like them, she is still feted worldwide as she passes through middle-age, bringing to screen and TV roles an authority and gravitas that younger actresses simply cannot match. First Oscar-nominated back in 1967, she'd still be winning major prizes 35 years later. Ever burning with energy and righteous anger, she continues to dedicate herself to the theatre and cinema, as well as the social causes for which she long fought - causes that have made her, alongside her American counterpart Jane Fonda, the most controversial actress of the modern era. Which probably explains why, unlike Judi Dench and Maggie Smith, she isn't yet a Dame.
Redgrave's present status was prophesied on the day of her birth by no less a luminary than Sir Laurence Olivier. On January 30th, 1937, during the curtain call of a performance at London's Old Vic Theatre, he announced to the audience "Ladies and gentlemen, tonight a great actress has been born. Laertes has a daughter!" (Laertes being the character played that night by Vanessa's father, the renowned Michael Redgrave). It really wasn't such a wild guess on Olivier's part. Michael was already an esteemed member of the thespian establishment. His father, Roy, starred in many of the first silent films to come out of Australia, while his wife and Vanessa's mother was another famed performer, Rachel Kempson, who'd debuted as Juliet at Stratford in 1932 (she'd met Michael during Liverpool Rep's production of Flowers Of The Forest in 1935 and married him that same year). Indeed, the Redgrave tradition would continue even beyond Vanessa. Vanessa's sister, Lynn, would be Oscar nominated, while her brother Corin would become a prime mover in British theatre. Beyond this, Vanessa's own children - Natasha and Joely Richardson - would become famous actresses, as would her niece, Corin's daughter, Jemma Redgrave.
As said, Michael Redgrave was already an accomplished stage actor at the time of Vanessa's birth. Soon he'd also be a screen star, starring in Thunder Rock and Dead Of Night and being Oscar-nominated in 1947 for Mourning Becomes Electra. The 1950s would see him in The Browning Version, The Dambusters and 1984, while during his decade-long stint with the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre at Stratford he'd win rave reviews as Richard II, Marc Antony, Hamlet and King Lear. Young Vanessa would be marked for life by her father's achievements and attitude, as she saw the efforts of actors to contribute during war-time and also the sacrifices necessary to reach the very highest standards in the profession.
She decided to take to the stage while in her teens.

Nadal wins US Open
PUBLISHED: 14 Sep 2010 12:27:45 | UPDATED: 15 Sep 2010 04:00:40PRINT EDITION: 14 Sep 2010
Rafael Nadal takes the US Open final against Novak Djokovic. Photo: AFP
Top seed Rafael Nadal of Spain won the US Open for the first time on Monday with a 6-4 5-7 6-4 6-2 win over third seed Novak Djokovic of Serbia.
It was Nadal's ninth grand slam title win to go with his five French Opens, two Wimbledons and one Australian and it lifts him up to seventh in the all-time list behind leader Roger Federer who has 16.
It also completed the grand slam set for the Spaniard, making him the seventh player to have achieved this feat and made him just the fourth man to win three consecutive grand slam titles in the Open era dating back to 1968.
Nadal broke in the opening game of the match, but Djokovic broke back to level at 2-2. Another break for the world No.1 in the fifth game was enough to win him the first set.
Djokovic led 4-1 in the second set, but Nadal dug in to claw his way back to 4-4 before rain stopped play for nearly two hours.
On the resumption, the Serb held and then broke Nadal for the second time in the match in the 12th game to level the set scores.
Nadal though broke again in the sixth game of the third set to move ahead again and when he ran off three games in a row to lead 3-1 in the fourth he was on his way to victory.

The Arc Baltimore's latest initiative, The Catalyst Project, builds upon our 50+ years of experience of providing employment services to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and the recent successes of our Project SEARCH program. This initiative begins the reinvention of our current Supported Employment program with a first year goal to provide individualized, non-traditional employment services to 12 working-age individuals with disabilities resulting in full-time employment with fair wages and benefits in the Hunt Valley business sector. This initial group will lay the groundwork for replicating subsequent groups on an ongoing basis.
The program has four components: vocational evaluation, skill development and education, internships, and job development. The difference from our current program is the focus on the initial job evaluation and the early, intensive investment of time in the employee. The ability to tailor a participant's employment education and internship experience based upon their career interests and skills will be the key to each person's success. We will recruit participants split evenly between transitioning youth and unemployed or underemployed individuals already receiving Arc services. To support this project, we've developed partnerships with the Department of Rehabilitation Services, Community College of Baltimore County, Towson University's Institute for Well-Being (Occupational Therapy), Baltimore County Chamber of Commerce, the Business Opportunity Network (BON) and the Hunt Valley Business Forum.

Tonight, I'm feeling like a load of bukkake on whom pigs with men faces cum. So it's a perfect time for this album. If you want to buy one of the most extreme and good LPs of the year, don't hesitate, buy this one by Lords of Bukkake. They're from Spain (their myspace here), a country being, like France, more and more the craddle of the best sludge bands in the world. Here we got a mix between sludge and Khanate and it's really perfect for evenings like these ones. I'm sure some of you will find here reasons to peace their hate against everyone, and worst, against themselves. Thanks to them to exist. Enjoy it here (and buy then to have the real sound).
Paul & Barry Ryan - Reincarnation games fake LP (1974)
After 1972, Barry Ryan released few singles and no more LPs (at least I think so but maybe my sources are wrong). Strangely, his brother Paul sang again and at least the singles were released under their 2 names such as in the sixties or only by Paul Ryan. The music is not totally different but of course the orchestral oceans are reduced to some Beatlesian arrangements (he will go back to this "grandiloquence" for his 1976 LP Scorpio Rising). Here, I gathered in a same fake LP the 8 songs I possess, from various vinyl compilations or singles. Are missing some of them but maybe one day I'll put my hand on them and post them here. I chose a front and a back cover sleeve with some difficulties but I feel they fit quite well with the content. The front is from a talented young girl form Krakow called Basia Konczarek (her gallery on DeviantArt here) and the back from Gary Isaacs (his site there) from which I will surely post some pictures on Scoptophilia some days. Enjoy this addition to previous Ryans post here.
In streaming the superb eponymous song.
Below, a TV appearance of Paul, bearded, singing the fine "Born On A Beautiful Day" that would have deserved to be a hit.
John Lee Hooker - The "That's Where It's At" session (1953)
This is the first post of a series about John Lee Hooker, my favorite bluesman so far. His discography is really a nighmare for those who want to listen in chronological order to his sessions since recordings are spread on various compilations, often wrongly dated, as (surely) the one presented today. If I begin with this one, it's because it's one of my favorites and considered so by many Hookers amateurs. Released in LP format in 1979 on Stax under the title of That's Where It's At (I kept the title but changed the cover sleeve I did myself), it was said to be recorded in Miami in 1961, but many connoisseurs thought Stax had only bought this session to the produced Henry Stone and, judging by the music John Lee Hooker plays on it, was more probably recorded during summer 1953, just after another session in Miami released by Atlantic under the name of Don't Turn Me From Your Door. Actually, 4 songs of this Atlantic album, and in particular the eponymous song, were from this second sessions and missed on the Stax album. So here are the 14 (in the order of recording such as stated by some reliable sources) that should have been on the Stax LP of 1969 and not even included in the CD version. Is still missing "Talking about my baby", which features only on a split album with Lightnin' Hopkins I never localized. I must say I have almost a hundred CDs or LPs from John Lee Hooker but this is not enough to cover all his sessions. But back to the music. Here John Lee is only backed by a bassist (maybe Steve Alaimo but not sure he's the only one throughout the session) and he provides the quintessence of muddy and swamp blues, nothing less that what Creedence Clearwater Revival would cultivate 15 years later. I even see something as the beginning of sludge in this dirty sound and slow pace. If blues has to be modern, it's here I find it to be, not in pale copies of white guys playing the rock 'n roll stars. More to come. Enjoy it here. I can promise it's a gem.
Golden Earring - Radar Love 7" (1973)
With this 6th single, in August 1973, Golden Earring reaches the golden goose, with the eternal risk to become one hit wonders, but anyway, better to have an international hit that not to have, and "Radar Love" will be their "Venus" (comparison with Shocking Blue just because both groups are from Nederlands of course). I agree that "Radar Love" is everything but a forgotten song since hundred of bands (even Ministry) covered it but the B-side, "The Song Is Over", a George Kooymans-composed and sung song, is rather hard to find, never appearing on any compilation except the 1st part of the Complete Singles Collection (but where to find this 2 LP, personally, I can't). Thanx to Taxi Do Meseca blog here for this B-side (I ripped "Radar Love" from my CD in 320 kb) and for the lyrics. All in all, a classic single (I talk about "Radar Love"), what we can call a standard, those songs that seem not to have been composed, but to have always existed. It's rare and precious. Golden Earring will succeed in doing better songs but never such a standard. Enjoy this couple of songs here. First "The Song is Over" in streaming.
The Song Is Over. For you I say I'll praise the sun Tell the colour of the sky Find new roads in the universe Sing a lullaby More pure than fruit Grown out of dirt So close to me You robbed me of my strangerhood And flew away to be free The song is over the song is over now The singer { is gonna say goodbye} said goodbye There is doomsday on my mind Baby baby, sing me one more time Close to my ear Mellow tone vibrations come Sadness disappear Do it to me once again Before you say goodbye Embrace me softly with your smile And smile a last goodbye I close my eyes and sail away The jukebox played your song today Tomorrow holds me like you're yesterday I can't forget what you used to say Open your eyes and live my love You see it's not me you're dreaming of Although it seems so important now Singing makes it all so good somehow
And below some visual shots of "Radar Love", guaranteed vintage 70's
And don't miss this extraordinary live version!!!
The Misanthrope Project - Your World Is Sickening (2009)
If you're in doom & sludge (let's say Sleep and Buzzov'en), either this album is one of your fave or it will become as soon as you'll dl it. Honestly, after listening to this style for more than 20 years (40 if you count the first Black Sabbath in), this album stands proudly as one of the most powerfull and impressive I'd the chance to listen to. Unfortunately, the band, the aggregation of members of various bands, doesn't exist anymore. Don't know why but they're damned wrong to have disbanded such a fantastic common force. It's always interesting, not a single weak time, no self indulgence, a true masterpiece. And the last piece, the 18 min "Crushing cops head's in with a skateboard, suicide by cop" will leave you shaken as if you had really received a skate in the head. Yes our world is sickening, but it allows such bands to create such sickening musical equivalent and that's precious. To vomite the world on sickened nights, enjoy it here.
Alternative TV - Peep Show (1987)
Don't know why it took me so long to post this LP I consider one of the best of the band. Reformed in 1985, this album was issued in 1987 following 2 EPs you can find here and there. It is really an album which stands proudly the test of time and as relevant today as it was 25 years ago. Mark Perry knows how to mix personal fixations and societal, even sociological, notations not forgetting a political one. He reminds me of JJ Rousseau and G Bataille actually. Not a small compliment I know but I sure love this guy. The version here is not the CD one with 6 bonus tracks (actually the 2 EPs) spread throughout the album, but the original vinyl one with 9 tracks. A much more coherent album this way since the band has quite evolved between the EPs and the LP. Don't know how the bosses of labels don't understand such simple things than keep the chronological order. Too complicated for their few neurons surely (although overground record is a damned good label). No matter, not a weak song on the setlist, classics follow classics (my fave is the fantastic "Boy Eats Girl" that I put in streaming after the more poppy "The River"), it was really a terribly disaster year 1987 not to have welcomed this true masterpiece the way it deserved. check by yourself in dl it here. And buy it next, I suppose some money can still reach Mark Perry wherever he is. Love to him from an eternal fan.
Golden Earring - Stand By Me 7" (1972)
In the autum of 1972, the band releases this non album track on the A-side of a single, a strange choice since it sounds more as a filling than a standard (it was a minor hit in Nederland but their lowest place in 3 years). With a sort of mixed influence of the Rolling Stones / Alice Cooper / the Who/ Led Zeppelin (strangely more the style these ones will develop in 1975), it's not bad but a little laborious. There is also something of what will be "Highway To Hell". The B-side is much better since it is the opening track of the album Together, one of the best tracks of the whole (reason why I put it in streaming). About a scoptophilian, it is perfect for this blog there, in case you didn't know I also manage it. Enjoy this single here. Sorry no iconography from this period or too weak quality to be posted. It is paradoxical since the only time I saw the band live was during their tour with the Who this same year (and Rough Mix was with me, we were kids but as passionate of music as we are today, if someone had told me that 38 years later, I would write about them on a virtual paper that anyone in the world could read, and able to propose the songs free for listening, I would have surely not believed it).
Golden Earring - Buddy Joe 7" (1972)
This 4th single of our series was associated with the Together album issued in may 1972. Not a really satisfying LP and a strangely poppy song for the band on the A-side, not far from what the Shocking Blue were doing at the times ("Inkpot" had been a hit 3 months before, and it's maybe the reason why there is a sitar on "Buddy Joe"). Sung by George Kooymans and not by Barry Hay, it must have been quite delicate to live for the latter. The song was however a minor hit in Nederland. The B-side is an album track (the second of the 1st side) "Avalanche of Love" (in streaming below), and is much better although nothing of what the band is remembered for. Enjoy it here. And 3 different sleeves for this one.
Noscrape - Demo 08 (2008)
If you like your sludge Melvinian (they toured with them in Italy) and Sleepian, this Italian band will become one of your new fave. Strange they have only released 3 demo EP/LP with such an idiosyncrasic stylish sludge, totally their own, loud, powerful, insane for sure and able to take you in a noman's mind with long instrumental landscapes that are not dissimilar to the most adventurous acid Krautrock of the 70's (in particular on "The Room of Smoke"). Sometimes they even sound as Ramleh or the Skullflower of Xaman (on the 30 min long 3rd track). Surely one of the most exciting discovery for me this year in this genre (with Huata and UFO Gestapo, France and Italy seem to be the new sludge kingdoms, nothing surprising with the loads of shit we have at the head of these 2 countries, it's a good time to see everything as fecal). Hope they'll soon find some label (I suggest a label for these 3 bands and the start of a new wave of the dirtiest and craziest sludge ever made... if I had time and money, sure I would like to do it, hell yes). Meanwhile, jump here into this hour of pure delicious depressed sonor ocean, I'm sure you won't regret it.
Golden Earring - She Flies On Strange Wings (1971)
This 3rd single of our series has been issued with their Seven Tears LP in september 1971. Being 7:30 long, it was decided to split it in 2 parts, one on each side. Not a so strange choice since long songs split in 2 parts were common at the times (Chicago or SAHB did that) although it was rather stupid for listeners. Moreover, most of (maybe all)the CD editions of the songs on compilations only offer the 1st part of the song. The long version can be found on the Seven Tears LP of course. This is what you'll find here. "She Flies On Strange Wings" is far to be a fave of mine, too Santana for me, and the lyrics are quite weak but it's not bad either. You can listen to the song below. It's a vintage clip as you'll see.
Golden Earring - Holy Holy Life 7" (1971)
In the beginning of 1971, is issued this second Golden Earring single of our series, neither side being on albums, so that the B-side, "Jessica", is rather hard to find and, to my knowledge, has never been released on any CD. So this is an opportunity to listen to this fantastic song, one of their best, with a Free-inspired muddy atmosphere and a perfect climax for amateurs of swampy rock (whatever it means). This is a rip from my vinyl single but honestly, this time, it's quite difficult to know. The A-side, "Holy Holy Life" is still played by the band today and has been quite a hit in Nederland in February 1971 (n°5). The Rolling Stones could have sued them cos' it is really similar to "Live With Me", but since now every heavy band do his job on such rip off, what's the hell. Enjoy it here.
The pictures below are from a concert of the band this same year.
Golden Earring - Back Home 7" (1970)
Here the first of a series of singles from a Dutch band (another one after Shocking Blue), Golden Earring (yes the creators of "Radar Love" but there's much more) a band I really was fond of during the late 70's. On several singles, there was a B-side unissued on the album and most of them have never been released on various reissues or compilations. Strange. And no A's & B's LP to find them. There'll be 10 I think, in chronological order. I'll start with the first one with the complete line-up on it, Rinus Gerritsen being the last to come with the Wall of Dolls LP in 1970 from which this single is drawn. Since the B-side was, either on the US or UK version (different songs I included in the rar file), on the album, sorry not to give a rarity with this one but it'll be with the second. "Back Home" is not considered as a classic of the band although it is one of their highest chart position is in their native land of Nederland (n°1 for 5 weeks during the summer of 1970). The 2 B-side tracks are rather slow and calm but fine too. Both sung by George Kooymans the guitarist and main composer of the band, this is quite disturbing since it's not really the same band than when the great Barry Hay sings, but with a sort of Keith Richards meets Dave Kusworth flavor, it's not unpleasant and melodies are quite good. Enjoy it here. It was exactly 40 years ago (goosh).
No streaming but 2 video clips (if you can call these cheapy things video clips) of "Back Home". Never found the one in grass without a delay between mouth and words.
Al Kooper - A Possible Projection of the Future / Childhood's End (1972)
Al kooper is one of the most underrated musician and composer, often constrained in rock history for his roles with Bob Dylan, Blood Sweat & Tears or Jimi Hendrix. But he has a career of his own with 9 albums recorded and issued between 1968 and 1977, and this one, his 5th, released in 1972, is among the most scandalously forgotten of them all. Somewhere between McCartney (for the melodies and musical atmosphere), George Harrison (for the guitar and the climax), Todd Rundgren (when he covers old soul standards) and Kim Fowley (for the amateurish way he sometimes sings, this album having a sort of International Heroes flavor), this projection of him 50 years later is a fine demonstration of the mugnificence inspiration was in these years. Sad that Sony never accepted to release properly these album. In this one, there are enough gems to call it a classic, specially the eponymous title and "Love Trap" (in streaming below) that they should have released as a single instead of the Curtis Mayfield reprise of "The Monkey Time" cos' it was a wrong choice in 1972, even if the version is excellent. Interestingly, the album is recorded in London, at George Martin's Air studio, with English session men such as future T. Rex Herbie Flower on drums. This gives the album a fine English glam atmosphere. As you can see above, it is a Japanese version. Recently, Al Kooper was authorized to pack 50 songs for a box set called 50/50 and you can find some of them in it. Do justice to them in dl it here and spread the news around until Sony's ears catch there's a need to reissue them soon.

Hi Redfinnians,
We hate posting messages like this, but we needed to let you know that Redfin Las Vegas will not be taking on any new clients until August 1st.
First of all, we're sorry. We don't like disappointing our readers and potential customers, and if you were planning on contacting us in the next two weeks to work with one of our partner agents, we know this has to be frustrating news.
Second of all, we owe you an explanation, so here it is; our partner agents are maxed out right now. Partially this is due to us having more demand than we expected, and partially it's due to some extremely bad luck with the timing of some illnesses among some of our partner agents and their families.
But illnesses and emergencies happen, and it's our job to make sure we're ready when they do. We got caught shorthanded this time, but we're determined not to let that happen again, which is why we're busy interviewing and hiring more partner agents right now.
Part of what makes Redfin different is that when we're at full capacity, we'd rather turn off the vacancy sign than give new clients a rushed or half-hearted experience. We'd rather lose your business to another brokerage than let you have a sub-par experience with us.
If you are looking to buy or sell a home, we'll turn the light on again on August 1st, and we hope you'll drop us a line then. If you can't wait that long, then we wish you the best of luck with your home purchase or sale, and we hope you'll give us another shot next time.
As always, thanks for using Redfin.

I have known a few people who have attempted to restructure their mortgage.
Not a single one has been helped.

The Obama administration's central foreclosure-prevention effort won't reach its original goals and the government should come up with clear, measurable objectives for the two-year-old program, according to a new report from a congressional watchdog.
Because the Treasury Department has failed to properly analyze the program it runs, it is nearly impossible for overseers and the public to determine whether it is a success, the Congressional Oversight Panel said in a report issued Tuesday.
The main Obama plan was designed to help people in financial trouble by lowering their monthly mortgage payments. Homeowners who qualify can receive an interest rate as low as 2 percent for five years and a longer repayment period. The homeowners receive temporary modifications that are supposed to become permanent after borrowers make three payments on time and complete the required paperwork.
The oversight panel's report poses questions to the government: How many foreclosures was the program, called the Home Affordable Modification Program, or HAMP, intended to prevent? What percentage of temporary home-loan modifications were intended to be made permanent?
Although the program has succeeded in preventing "some number" of foreclosures, in its current form it "will never have the reach necessary to put an appreciable dent into the foreclosure crisis," the report says.
It notes that Treasury's original goal of preventing 3 million to 4 million foreclosures has been reduced several times. The oversight panel estimates that the program will prevent some 700,000 to 800,000 struggling borrowers from losing their homes — compared with 8 million to 13 million foreclosures expected by 2012.
Treasury has the authority to spend up to $30 billion in taxpayer funds on the program. Only about $4 billion likely will be spent, according to the panel.
"We believe Treasury should come forward with what they think the real objectives of the program are right now," Sen. Ted Kaufman, D-Del., the panel's chairman, said in a conference call with reporters on Monday.
The report also says Treasury should hold banks that administer mortgages accountable for failing to complete loan modifications properly by, for example, losing paperwork. The department should be more willing to use its power to withhold or take back incentive payments to the banks in those cases, it says. The payments are made after permanent modifications are achieved and are spread over five years.
Kaufman said the HAMP program hasn't failed. Rather, he said, "I think the program has just turned out to be a lot smaller and have a lot less impact on the housing market than we thought it should have."
Tim Massad, Treasury's acting assistant secretary for financial stability, said that while the number of permanent modifications won't meet the original goal, the government has set a new standard for the industry as the program has been widely imitated in the private sector.
The number of loan modifications made outside the government program has exceeded those in it, according to data compiled by bank regulators.
The average homeowner in the program is saving $500 a month on mortgage payments, Massad said in a separate conference call Monday.
The program has helped "alleviate the worst housing crisis that we have seen in decades," he said.
The report also recommends that Treasury enable borrowers to apply for loan modifications online, and to monitor cases and intervene when borrowers fall behind on their payments on modified mortgages.
The panel was created by Congress to oversee Treasury's $700 billion rescue program that came in at the peak of the financial crisis in the fall of 2008. Of the total, $75 billion was earmarked for mortgage assistance programs, including HAMP.

I have known a few people who have attempted to restructure their mortgage.
Not a single one has been helped.
Thanks Sherry for your comments. You are correct. The mortgage companies are stalling and double-talking their repo victims. The victims are worth nothing to them, but the reacquistion of properties to be resold at whatever price is far more lucrative to the bank then working with the debtor.
They've already been "bled white", being dupes holding the in arrears mortgage notes who are surely not stakeholders, due to the effects of compound interest. The lender has made a killing while the growth in equity has been zero to boucoup negative.
Mortgage restructuring is a dead end avenue. The best bet is for folks is to feign cooperation, filling out the paperwork, while "not" sending in "any" futher payments. Keep the premises in good shape and build your cash position. Some folks are still in their homes post two years after the housing meltdown. Following my reco you'll have a fat cash position to rent with as short a lease as possible. It's far better than owning in these times.

". The victims are worth nothing to them, but the reacquistion of properties to be resold at whatever price is far more lucrative to the bank then working with the debtor."
Banks are not in business to buy and sell real estate. They are in business to rent out money. Foreclosing on a house that has a $200,000 balance on it and selling it for $150,000 is a losing proposition for the bank.
I believe your statement is wrong and request that you provide some source for it.
Hi GHL,
Your answer in short is:
M = P( 1 + i )n
M is the final amount including the principal.
P is the principal amount.
i is the rate of interest per year.
n is the number of years invested.
Compound interest although a reality when it comes to 'loans' is also usurious in terms of function. They once asked Albert Einstein at one of his open lectures at Princeton where they could ask him whatever they cared to. The question: What is the greatest mathematical invention of all time…he dryly said "compound interest"…which of course caused laughter in the audience.
Banks are predators, regardless of an apologia that they only "rent money" ; ie., lend money. During the ramp up to the 2008 real estate/insurance debacle they were all in cahoots; ie., the local bankers, the appraisers and the real estate industry pushing properties on folks that obviously could not service the mortgages in the long run. So properties that were appraised for $500,000 in Cali and other areas throughout the nation were in actuality more fairly valued at half as much, but the feeding frenzy brought on by 'flippers' along with the aforementioned cabal of players pitched them 'chum' ; ie., easy money ended up in disaster.
When a young, unwitting couple purchase a home and foolishly sign on the dotted line for a $1500 per month 30 year mortgage with the illusion they are 'buying" anything other than trouble is tantamount to criminality. Someone needed to explain to them that $1490.99 of the payment went for interest with them being nothing but lifetime 'renters' to the bank except in the last 10 years of the mortgage note when the principal starts to exceed the interest factor. The rub was the false promise that real estate would go up forever and you best get in on the action now or you'll miss the opportunity for ever. Yeah, I know about the mortgage interest right off 'advantages", but to me its questionable when a couple is pitching out a handsome sum annually to the banks in the form compound interest only being compensated at a percentage on these dollars etc. while still only 'saving' about $120 or whatever in the equity towards the ownership of their home.
Using the "Rule of 72's" if one divides the interest rate into the number 72 they will come up with the time it will take for the principal amount to increase in the lenders favor. So if said couple has a 4% loan, then divide that into 72 you come up with a resultant of 18 years. So in the first 18 years you'll have paid double for the house and if they continued to pay for the entire 30 years another almost doubling again. So they would pay 350% for their $250,000 home. Are the banks cutting a 'fat hog' or what?
The rest is an ugly history of unscrupulous banking, appraising and corrupt cheerleaders in the real estate sector that finally caused another Fed sponsored "bubble" to burst. I rest my case.
The banks never lose…period! We the borrowers always lose especially when the deck is stacked against us due to compound interest. Yes its the reality of doing business, but a cruel one at that. : |
Carl Nemo **==
Your grasp of mortgage accounting matters is woefully inadequate, Mr. Nemo.
Assume that someone needs to take out a one-month loan at 4% with a principal amount of $300,000. At the start of the month borrower gets a check for $300,000. At the end of the month he has to pay back the $200K plus interest at 4%. $300K times .04 divided by 12 gives a figure of $1,000 for interest.
With me so far? To clear the loan the borrower has to pay $301,000 at the end of the month. He rented the money for one month.
Now, get yourself a mortgage calculator and look at the monthly payment for a $300K loan for 30 years. How much is the PI payment? $1,432.25. Now. Guess how much of that $1,432.25 payment went towards the interest accrued. Go ahead. Take a SWAG.
I'll answer for you. The interest for that first month was $1,000. You can generate an amortization schedule and see it for yourself.
So, what does this mean? It means what you posted above is pure crap.
Let's go back to our borrower who got the loan for a month. Suppose he offers the lender a check for $1,432.25 and offers to take the loan for another month and pay them the accrued interest. The lender says yes. And then at the end of the second month the same deal is done again. And then they do it for 30 years that way. MY GOD! You have a 30 year mortgage.
Here is the reality. At 4% over the life of a 30 year loan for
$300K the borrower will pay back $515,608.52. Total. Not more than triple (350%) as you have alleged above. YOU CAN LOOK THIS UP FOR YOURSELF! Here's a mortgage calculator you can use.
Now, as to the rule of 72s. You have misused it dreadfully. The rule of 72s has to do with how long it takes to double your money when invested at compound interest. Mortgage loans are not now and never have been compound interest. They are simple interest loans. You do not have to trust me on this. Look it up for yourself.
Back to the rule of 72. That rule says that if you invest $1000 at 4 percent compounded annually you will double your money in approximately 18 years. YES! That's right. Here's how it works. Deposit $1000. At the end of the year the bank puts $40 into your account. At the end of the next year you have accrued interest on $1,040. That's $41.60. So you have $1081.60 in your account. At the end of the next year you get interest of $43.26. Thus your balance is $1124.86. At the end of the next year your interest is $44.99. And so forth. Pull out your calculator. Plug in $1,000. Multiply that by 1.04. Then hit equals again and again. when you have reached 18 years the answer is approximately $2,025. Your principal has just about doubled. That's the rule of 72s. But it has absolutely NO correlation to mortgage loans since you are not depositing money into a savings account.
Banks do not invest in mortgages at compound interest. At the end of the first month in the example above the bank has interest income of $432.25. They cannot compound it on the borrower because the borrower has given it to them. It has not been added to the $300K mortgage balance.
The strangest statement you maDE was that the banks never lose. How the hell can you say that? Look at the current financial crisis, which was generated by, among other things, massive failures in the housing market. The banks lost so f***ing much money on mortgages that the government felt it had to bail them out.
For God's sake, man. The banks have lost many billions if not trillions because of mortgage defaults. Stop listening to Rush Limbaugh and start thinking for yourself!

"The banks lost so f***ing much money on mortgages that the government felt it had to bail them out." …extract from post
Thanks GHL for the rebuttal and difference of opinion concerning how loans are amortized etc. I didn't crank figures into a mortgage calculator, but was simply throwing out how compound much less simple interest affects borrowers and how the entire housing debacle is linked to so much hype as far as home prices being artifically puffed to keep the "bubble effect" going. The bulk of the allegedly 'lost money' ended up killing greedy investors who bought woefully underinsured CDO's; ie., bundled mortgages. The underlying assets still exist; ie., the houses, many now vacant that are being sold at fairer prices via auctions with price and value shaking hands in the marketplace rather than some hype from industry friendly appraisers working with the banks and real estate sector.
Your rebuttal to my post is fine, but as I've said in the past it's your terse, almost vicious, overly emotional slant is what has me concerned. Btw, I've never listened to a Rush Limbaugh program. I should have spent time to crank out exact figures like yourself rather than using the rule of 72′s. I winged it and seemingly blew the post in the details. My apologies for not using due diligence in this case. I haven't paid on a mortgage in 25 years, owning everything I have outright with no debt, so possibly I've lost touch with the realities of our times, indicating onset dementia…no?
"The banks lost so f***ing much money on mortgages that the government felt it had to bail them out." …extract from post
A great portion of the debt money was sold to offshore center banks who had 'invested' in CDO's; ie., bundled debt obligations. AIG a major mega insurer who 'insured' these transactions but failed to maintain adquate reserves in the event of this 'junk debt' going bellyup. If I recall correctly, 60 billion dollars went to eight banks and none of those were U.S. based and yes U.S. banks did get the aid too. Why should U.S. taxpayers be bailing out the private banking and insurance sectors anyway? Seemingly the money guys like privatizing the gains while socializing the losses.
In summation your posts and rebuttals are fine, I just wish you'd deep six your nasty 'tone" by attacking the messenger. It's totally unnecessary. I read your replies to other posters and its always the same or you'll come on the horn with potshot posts too; ie., terse one liners, the M.O. of a troll. I'll assume you aren't such. : )

I wonder if we will be seeing a increase in the real estate market any time soon. I was reading a artcile on this site about Moncton Real Estate i recommend it.

^^^ Thanks!!!
If you've read this Local Radar feature since it began, you've probably noticed my affinity for Food Pyramid, consistently one of the more under-appreciated bands by local music critics. And I get it: their brand of repetitive, fuzzed out, electro-space rock whatever-you-want-to-call-it is not everyone's forte. And when most of your songs clock in anywhere between five to 20 minutes — and don't forget a traditionally unpredictable live show which usually doesn't include any recognizable material — it becomes difficult to gain any traction in the community.
Of course that has never been Food Pyramid's goal throughout the several releases they have put out on now-Oakland based Moon Glyph Records. That relocation unfortunately happened around the time their first proper album Mango Sunrise was unleashed. And it's really too bad, because Mango is their most accessible, rhythmic and impressive work. It got a lot of national love through various online hypemasters, but was kind of discounted here at home. Food Pyramid went rather quiet after that, so I'm glad I was able to catch them at an impromptu Lower Dens show at the Triple Rock last year. Those who were there (which wasn't many), got to see Food Pyramid play an explosive set leading into the Baltimore headlining band's teaser of their at-the-time unreleased album Nootropics (sidenote: also one of the better reviewed releases of 2012).
Lower Dens frontwoman Jana Hunter is a vocal fan of Food Pyramid and reportedly tapped the band to open that show. So it comes as no surprise that the new FP album Ecstasy & Refreshment features a lead single with Hunter on vocals. It's been on the internet for weeks without much attention, but slowly and surely others have taken note, like this week's write-up by Pitchfork.
You obviously can't understand anything Hunter is saying—that's kind of Food Pyramid's M.O. But her voice literally serves as another instrument, and it washes over itself, creates layers and assists in building the song to danceable, or slightly swaying, groove. "Dexedream" is noticeably similar to the band's cassette work rather than Mango Sunrise, with an obvious nod to their solid tape III. Take a listen to "E-Harmony" and "Last Shuttle To The Red Planet" and you'll get the connection.
Food Pyramid's new album Ecstasy & Refreshment is out July 23 via Intercoastal Artists.

By Kerry Lobel
For the first time, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force held its annual Creating Change conference in Pittsburgh. Creating Change is the largest annual political gathering of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) policy-makers, leaders, activists and organizers held in the United States. For almost a week, more than 2,000 people congregated in downtown Pittsburgh to discuss and debate some of the most pressing issues facing GLBT people.
This year's Creating Change is the most well-attended and successful conference since it began 11 years ago. Though it is commonly believed that gay men, lesbians, bisexuals and transgenders live only on the East and West coasts, in cities like San Francisco, New York and Washington, D.C. the gathering in Pittsburgh showed otherwise. People came from small towns and rural areas throughout the country, from medium-size cities and, not surprisingly, from big cities. More GLBT people than ever before are staying put, building their lives and creating their families in the communities where they grew up. They are establishing religious, political and cultural institutions in their own hometowns, often with the help and support of their families of origin.
Young and old people came to Creating Change; people of color and white people came; and people brought their children (we provided childcare). There were music and comedy performances, a dance, and, of course, many workshops and presentations devoted to political issues as varied as fundraising and transgender issues in the workplace. Jews, Muslims, Catholics and other Christians held religious services and gatherings.
Sound a little like a week in a small town? In many ways, it was. Participants discussed their lives, their aspirations and hopes, analyzed their political work, and lived each day by eating, sleeping, caring for their children, friends and partners and attending cultural events.
But, of course, this was not a week in your average small town. Participants at Creating Change are, for the most part, different than our concept of small town residents. Almost all of us express our sexual and gender identities in ways that are different from what is considered the norm. This difference has brought America the vision and brilliance of people like Walt Whitman, Tennessee Williams, Gertrude Stein, and James Baldwin. We know that difference is of value to America and makes all of us stronger.
What the GLBT movement is really about is creating a society where the unique contributions of all its citizens, including us, are recognized and appreciated. In fact, that is the mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force: to create a world that respects and celebrates the diversity of human expression and identity, where all people may fully participate in society and where difference is not just tolerated, but embraced. The gap between that vision and today's reality is shrinking, but we all know we have much work to do.
Today, with the 1998 elections, we have once again learned that we have a long way to go to become fully integrated into American social institutions. Initiatives against same-sex marriage won in Hawaii and Alaska by large margins. Civil rights bills lost in Fayetteville, Arkansas; Ft. Collins, Colorado; and Ogunquit, Maine. Recently the Supreme Court let stand a lower court ruling that Cincinnati could prohibit sexual orientation as a protected classification in its anti-discrimination law.
But we also see enormous change and positive developments for our community and this country. We have learned how important coalition efforts are across issues. In a number of states, anti-choice, English-only and anti-affirmative action campaigns targeted women and minorities in conjunction with attacks on our community. Activists in many areas worked together against these measures, and the coalition that developed as a result is a valuable legacy of the elections.
We recognize that as long as anyone faces discrimination and injustice, we have not realized the promise of America. To that end, at Creating Change, NGLTF and the Federation of Statewide LGBT Political Organizations launched "Equality Begins At Home," a national campaign to strengthen and unite the GLBT communities and promote equality at the state level. This first ever nationally coordinated series of actions in every state and territory will take place next year March 21-27.
The results of this midterm election support our renewed focus on statewide organizing, and also show that America is ready for openly GLBT election officials. Tammy Baldwin, a Democrat from Wisconsin, is the first-ever openly gay or lesbian candidate to win a seat in Congress. This happened in the heart of the Midwest, not only the coasts, and it happened because Baldwin worked her way up in state and local politics. She had more than 3,000 volunteers enlisted in her campaign, many of whom were straight. Reps. Barney Frank, D-Mass, and Jim Kolbe, R-Arizona, easily won re-election. And, in state legislatures, many openly GLB candidates were elected, many by overwhelming margins.
This is a new day, when candidates from our community can be taken seriously, and win, obviously with most of their support from the straight community. This past spring, the Policy Institute of NGLTF released "From Wrongs to Rights," a report that showed there has been a sea change in public opinion toward gays and lesbians. Even though it is still legal in most places to fire someone from their job simply because of their sexual orientation, most Americans now believe that is wrong. Our report shows that a majority of Americans support equality in areas such as employment, housing, and military service, a far different situation than when NGLTF was founded 25 years ago.
The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force understands that in order to create a society that values the diversity of gender and sexual expression, we have to create a society that gives each of us the ability to have a good life - a good education, good health care, decent housing and adequate employment. Like all Americans, we live our day-to-day lives by working, raising our children, contributing to our communities and finding happiness in our personal lives.
All of these parts of our lives are connected, and for each of us to be fully realized as human beings, they must all be addressed. We hope that all people seeking justice will join us in this effort.
