29 year old woman | Houston, TX, USA | Seeking men 24-39 within 20 miles
Don't take life too seriously, you won't get out alive.
I think it would be in good form to begin this passage with a quote from one of my favorite authors and probably on of the most quotable people in history, Oscar Wilde: "To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all." My goal in this life is to truly live. I want to build a life where I can spend my free time traveling to as many places on this beautiful planet as possible, constantly learning about new topics and ideas, and, of course, having fun and being content with my life. Now that I've written my obligitory sentimental introduction (which was true, mind you), I'll get a little more specific about myself and what I'm looking for in a relationship. I'm a creative, slightly book obsessed, reserved person with a kind of strange, sarcastic sense of humor. And when it comes to a relationship, a sense of humor is the most important thing that I look for. People who don't laugh frighten and confuse me. As mentioned earlier, I also adore traveling and spend a good deal of my time daydreaming about and researching places that I would like to go to one day. I'm one of those people who will see a picture of Azerbaijan or some place and start looking up major cities, costs of flights and hotels, and imaging all of the wonderful adventures I'd have there. And even though traveling overseas is not usually a plausible option for me, I also love checking out new cities and areas within driving distance. It's driving me nuts that I've never been to New Orleans and I've vowed to go within the next couple if months. Another thing, I am a huge animal lover. I have two large, surly tomcats and a precious Lhasa Apso that are the jewels of my heart. I can't imagine living in a home without animals. So if you have pets, bring 'em on! If you aren't fond of animals...well, I'm not sure that we'll really "click", if you know what I mean. And I know that everybody writes this on their profile, and I hate to be cliche, but one of my greatest pleasures in life is cooking, eating and trying new cuisines. I have made it a mission of mine to experience as many types of restaurants as possible in the area and it has always been a blast. Now that I've told you how much I eat, I'd like to also mention that living a healthy lifestyle is very important to me. For the most part I eat healthy foods, do not smoke, and try to stay active. I practice yoga, enjoy walking my dog, bicycling around the neighborhood, fishing and going for hikes in nature. And while I haven't really been exposed to a lot of outdoor activities, such as rock climbing or kayaking, I would love to try them! There are plenty more things that I could say, but I'm afraid I'm getting a bit long winded so I'll sum it all up by saying that if you are an adventurous, animal loving, kind hearted, funny guy who preferrably smells nice, then I'd love to talk to you!

Now, as in right now the cable just decided to freeze and now its been out for at least 45 minutes. I am so sick of this crap. They also have hardly anything on demand. ABC is gone, and there's a lot of channels that aren't even on it. Everything is delayed. I want Comcast back, I will b getting rid of wow ASAP. Comcast is worth the extra $. If ur thinking about switching to wow, DON'T! I promise u will b sorry.

The Knights' Tales Collection
Book 1: Sir Lancelot the Great; Book 2: Sir Givret the Short; Book 3: Sir Gawain the True; Book 4

Many years ago, the storytellers say, the great King Arthur brought justice to England with the help of his gallant Knights of the Round Table.
Sir Lancelot the Great
Of these worthy knights, there was never one so fearless, so chivalrous, so honorable, so…shiny as the dashing Sir Lancelot, who was quite good at defending the helpless and protecting the weak, just as long as he'd had his afternoon nap.
Sir Givret the Short
Poor Givret: his size makes him so easy to overlook. But there's more to knighthood than height, and before long, Givret's quick thinking lands him a place at the famous Round Table!
Sir Gawain the True
The knights didn't always act quite as gallantly as a true knight should. Even King Arthur's nephew, known at that time as Sir Gawain the Undefeated, was too full of himself to accept a token of thanks from a rescued princess! Someone needed to teach Sir Gawain that courtesy and friendship are just as important as strength and courage.
Sir Balin the Ill-Fated
While most of King Arthur's knights freely chose a life of duty, for Sir Balin the Ill-Fated, destiny was foretold in a prophecy. Still, no matter how dire the task, a loyal and gallant knight never refuses adventure!
Gerald Morris loves to visit the world of knights and chivalry in his books, but he'd rather not live there. He's much happier living in the twenty-first century in Wausau, Wisconsin. Gerald is also the author of ten books in The Squire's Tales series.

Very friendly and professional staff. Prompt check in. Dinner (3-course set menu, with good choices) and breakfast was also very nice.
I would like to have had a bit more fresh fruit available at breakfast. Also, it took a while to get some more coffee, despite asking. However, it was busy and staff were courteous.

Chill hours - significant swing/variance
jennieboyer(8)February 22, 2013
Hi All,
I've been researching chill hours in my area, and have discovered a bit of a disconnect. My current YTD chill hours number is 368. Last year at this time it was 227. The historical average for this date is 894! Wow! What a difference...
I wonder what is causing that? For example, how far does the historical go back and could there be a long term pattern shift? Will one or two periods of cold over a few days to a week make that much difference?
It's so hard to know what can/will do well here with such a wide variance! BTW, I'm located in South Georgia, about 10 miles from the Florida line.

The role of English in India is once again a matter of debate in India following the victory of Narendra Modi in last year's elections. This year's Lecture in Comparative World History contextualises the influence of Macaulay in the long term. It shows how and why the use of English was spreading in the Subcontinent well before Macaulay's notorious 'Minute' but discusses the Minute's meaning and global context. The lecture goes on to consider the emergence of modern Hindi and the attempt in the Punjab in the 1880s to reassert the teaching of Persian as a pan-Indian language. It ends with a discussion of the contest between English and Indian languages in the 20th and 21st centuries.
The Lecture in Comparative World History, founded in memory of Professor John F. Richards, is intended to build upon Professor Richards' belief that knowledge should be shared far and wide and that the opportunity for education should be afforded to as wide an audience as possible, while communicating the distinct and subtle cultural nuances when providing those educational opportunities. This lecture series is sponsored by the Duke University Center for International Studies (DUCIS).
A reception will follow in the Franklin Center First Floor Gallery.

Contextual changes characterized by the globalization of agricultural value chains, rising income, and rapid urbanization not only influence patterns of consumption, competition, and trade but also drive agricultural development and innovation far more than before across sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Agriculture increasingly occurs in a context where private entrepreneurs coordinate extensive value chains linking producers to consumers, sometimes across vast distances. More providers of knowledge are on the scene, particularly from the private sector and civil society, and they interact in new ways to generate ideas or develop responses to dynamics in agri-food value chains. A growing number of entrepreneurial smallholders are organizing to enter these value chains, but others struggle with the economic marginalization as innovative solutions do not reach them due to missing links in the value chains.
In this meeting of the University Seminar on Globalization, Governance and Development, convening on February 27 at 5:30pm, in Room 240 of the John Hope Franklin Center, a panel consisting of representatives from Duke University's Center on Globalization, Governance, & Competitiveness (CGGC), Oxfam America, and Dutch Agricultural Development & Trading Company (DADTCO), will present conceptual frameworks, drawing on principles of Global Value Chain (GVC) and Agricultural Innovation Systems (AIS), and current practices concerning agricultural innovations in SSA. The seminar is aimed to provide a forum involving academia, international development practitioners, and private sector to discuss how such innovative solutions can provide continent-wide models for inclusive development.

Have plans for checking out the state and national parks in the area, staying on the well traveled trails as I am not wanting to come upon any snakes or gators too soon. Trying to anticipate how to ...
Day 1 and day 2 - Flight from JFK to Mumbai

Finally, we reached Mumbai at 4 in the morning and the date had changed again 12/14/14. I've been waiting for so long! I'm super excited to be in India and looking forward to our trip! Stay tuned... See you ...
Rocks & Wolves
... King and Queen Seat. This huge rock outcrop above Deer Creek provided great views in the waning daylight. It's believed to have once been a ceremonial meeting place for the Susquehannock people and was suggested to us by Sandy's uncle. We climbed around on the rocks for a bit and got some pictures then headed back. We had dinner with her family again and started getting our stuff packed ...
The pretty hills of Pennsylvania
... hills, climbing and winding around on Route 220 and finding a new sight over the top of each hill. In particular I had to stop and take photos at Wright's View.
The lovely countryside continued for another fifty or sixty miles until I found myself driving right alongside the river, with a railway line between the road and the drop to the water. This was after crossing the I80 and ...
Last day to relax
... we could get the boys, and to allay of guilt for leaving them for so long. There is a 'Bret Michaels' (from the 80's/early 90's hair metal bad Poison) range of dog collars and leads, as well as a Martha Stewart range. It seems that everything needs some form of celebrity endorsement before people buy it. Even Oprah endorses the **** coffee at Starbucks.

bowl of hellebore blooms
I made a center piece of hellebore flowers from my garden for a luncheon yesterday, and it was so pretty I took a picture of it - here it is. These are all helleborus orientalis, but all different colors, and some doubles.
You have inspired me to try and duplicate your centerpiece, but I have a question for you helleborus mavens.
I am traveling about 30 minutes to where I want to display it.
Should I cut my flowers with a long stem and put them in a vase for travel, then trim them shorter to float once I get there?
Or trim them short to begin with and put them in a bag or tupperware or something?
And how much stem do I leave?
I don't want to be driving with a platter full of water and blooms beside me, lol.
This is my first attempt at something artsy so I would really like if it went well. I have a lovely dark purple platter which will compliment the blooms beautifully.
Think I should take some large leaves, or fern fronds, or something else for border texture or just stay with the simple helleborus display?
I may wander my yard Sunday morning to see what I have available, just cannot decide.
Who else has done this and do you have photos?
Both of you, those arrangements are gorgeous, and inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing. That greenery (arborvitae?) does a lot for your floating arrangement, cearbhaill.
I have just one plant, but I am excited to see it has a couple of babies this year, so eventually I may have some variety of blooms.

software of interest to mechanicians
I do my thesis on bearing capacity of foundations near slopes, I use mohr coulomb plasticity with el asticity
but I cant understand what should I do and why my result is dependent on the mesh size and why when I refine elements near
foundation the bearing capacity of the foundation becomes smaller please help me how can I do this thesis
Could you tell me how to define inflow and outflow eulerian boundary in ALE? MY ERROR IS "An Eulerian boundary region cannot overlap a sliding boundary region"
Defined in the first interface surface, and then modify the inp file, change to add
Then, I go on the File/Import/Model...inp.file - when he fined warning
how can i define frequency domain viscoelastic material & electrorheological in abaqus ?
Dear all,
I just finished extrusion process simulation in ABAQUS with the input of stress-strain data. Now I want to retrive the strain increment of certain element during each deformation increment. Surely one can write straininc to a *.txt file when simulating with VUMAT. But the simulation of extrusion will be extremely slow with VUMAT. So How can I get the strain increment when simulating with the input of stress-strain data?
Best regards,
I am trying to model a sheet of Poly Vinyl Butryl (PVB), which is a viscoelastic material in ANSYS. I have all the regular properties like elastic, shear and bulk modulus, poisson ratio, denstiy and damping factor. I also have a stress- strain curve of PVB. With all this data, is it possible for me to find the various constants in the viscoelastic models using ANSYS?

I hope you are well,
I want to know how i can analyze the acoustic and noise problems with Abaqus? can anyone recommend me some valuable tutorials or documents to start? or is there any superior software in order to work on these subjects?
Hi all
I want to install franc 3d , i read the installation guide in the site:
You can examine the documentation at http://www.cfg.cornell.edu/software/software_documentation.htm . Below, I will try to explain how to install, start and use the program in a very basic way.
solved thanks

Hi there,
Recently I have modelled a 2D block of soil, at the first step of analysis the soil block subjected to a gravitational load (Gravity) and gravitational stresses generated in the soil block, at the second step, a little rectangular part of soil block removed and currently a concrete block with same size of removed soil embedded on the soil block. this concrete block to be subjected a surface loading.
Hi all,
I am trying to run a VUMAT subroutine for isotropic hardeining, whenever I input the command "abaqus j=inp_name user=subroutine_name " the analysis begins, the ODB file is generated but in few secs the analysis exits with an error, and the error is..
Abaqus Error: The executable C:\ABAQUS\6.7-1\exec\explicit.exe
aborted with system error code 5.
It also says...
How can one install pngwriter with MinGW and Code::Blocks?
Also can anyone suggest some easy visualization library/tools for C++ that can be useful for simulation.
Where I can find the subroutine of a user material Fortran code for Viscoelastic constitutive model?
Does anyone has the subroutine for LS-DYNA ?
Can anyone help me?
Hello everyone,
I have a problem with one user subroutine.
The fact is that, debugging the subroutine I see the totaltime different from the steptime. I am using just one step and the .inp implementation is veryfied with a different user subroutine, so totaltime and steptime should be exactly the same (but they are not...)
The value of the total time is around 1e-8 and the value of the steptime is around 1e-55.
Could anyone give me a clue?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Expert,
I'm a newer of Abaqus. I was trying to compute a simple compression problem using Mohr-Coulomb model. I found the slope of stress-strain curve from the results is double of that defined in the input file. I don't know what's cause it or my understand of the slope is wrong.
Only one 8 node C3D8 element is involved. To simplify the question, let the friction angle be 0, it reduces to a Tresca model actually. The material is defined as:

Hi All,
I want to model post-tensioning tendons embedded with concrete structure. Both ends of tendons are anchored. Can anyone inform me what kind of element most suitable to model the tendons and concrete structure in ABAQUS? I tried solid part for both items, yet as the tendon diameter is very small if compared to the concrete dimension, the resulting number of mesh on the concrete structure is very large.

Hermie and Friends: A Fruitcake Christmas (4) - Today's Christian Videos
Embed thomasnelson 3251 views 2008-03-17T00:00:00 It's Christmastime in the garden and Hermie and his friends are hustling and bustling to prepare for the big day. But more than anything, they all eagerly anticipate the crowning moment of the holiday season: the arrival of Grannypillar's scrumptious fruitcake. Suddenly Christmas is hijacked when Iggy and Ziggy Cockroach - the meanest, greediest bugs in the garden - steal Grannypillar's fruitcake. How will Christmas survive?! But deep in the hearts of the garden's youngest, the true meaning of Christmas shines. Hailey and Bailey, through an act of unheard generosity, together remind the garden that the celebration of Christmas is nothing about fruitcake, but about God's gift to us all, through His Son, Jesus. Tim Conway & Don Knotts are joined by popular radio duo Rick & Bubba (as Iggy & Ziggy Roach) whose radio program, originating in Birmingham, AL, is heard in five states and broadcast daily on TurnerSouth Cable.

Learning an important marketing lesson at the age of 7.
Adapt your method of hourly hiring and retention to build a better approach that works with the trends instead of against them.
By Ashish Gambhir Chances are your restaurant incorporates a rewards program into your customer loyalty initiatives. With the average person having 14 loyalty cards, it seems to reason that rewards are an effective way to retain customers. Unfortunately, customers are telling us the opposite.

Funding has soared for global health, largely because of unprecedented levels of private giving, of which the Gates Foundation is one but not the only example, says a new study. However, the study by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) also finds that the funding is unevenly distributed and that 12 of the 30 countries with the highest incidence of disease are not receiving as much as healthier, and sometimes wealthier, countries. Funding for health in developing countries has quadrupled over the past two decades from $5.6 billion in 1990 to $21.8 billion in 2007, with private donors providing 30 per cent of the 2007 figure, reports Financing of global health: tracking development assistance for health from 1990 to 2007.
However, while Sub-Saharan Africa receives the highest concentration of funding, some African countries receive less aid than South American countries with lower disease burdens, such as Peru and Argentina, and 12 of the 30 low- and middle-income countries with the most illness and premature death, including Angola, Ukraine and Thailand, do not figure in a list of countries that receive the most health aid, while two of the world's emerging economic super powers, China and India, receive huge amounts. Some small island nations with relatively healthy populations, including Micronesia and the Solomon Islands, receive more health aid per capita than disease-stricken countries such as Niger and Burkina Faso.
There are also anomalies in which element of healthcare the money goes to. Based on the research for 2007, HIV/AIDS receives at least 23 cents out of every dollar, while tuberculosis and malaria receive less than a third of that, even though the combined burden for those diseases is greater than that from HIV/AIDS in developing countries. Similarly, only around 5 per cent of every dollar goes to system-wide health support, like funding for new clinics, training doctors and prevention programmes, an area that global health experts have clearly identified as a priority.

Auto-reverse ?
One of our garage doors was broken recently when it failed to automatically reverse after encountering an obstruction. The item that fell into the path of the door did not break the light beam near the floor, so the door didn't reverse but crushed it instead & in the process broke the door. I thought that garage door openers are required to have an auto-reverse safety device, but have been told that inclusion of such a device is voluntary. Most GDOs instead have the light beams that trigger a reversal. The problem is that there are numerous instances in which something or someone could be in the path of a closing door and not break the light beam (such as on a bicycle when the light beam passes between the wheels or in a car that's far enough in or out of the garage that the tires don't trip the sensor.)
We're lucky that the only damage was to the garage door and the item that fell into its path, and no people were hurt. Once we get the door replaced, I want to also replace our GDOs with ones that have both an auto-reverse feature and a battery backup. Can anyone suggest a reliable, quiet GDO that has both of these features? Thanks.
Openers have had auto-reverse for many years but a malfunction or mis-adjustment can prevent their working properly. You will find what you are looking for in a new opener from Liftmaster model #3850 or Sears Craftsman model #53939.
Shef, between the two of them, the force reversal and interrupter cup on all liftmaster/chamberlain/sears produced since 1993 do what you describe. The infrared sensors were added across the board in 1993, and add extra protection. Note that the IR beam MUST be low to protect small animals and kids. What did you crush, a car? Or was it a conventional (tilt up) door?
Most objects in the crushing path of a rollup break the beam, unless its like atable left straddling it.
Thanks. Liftmaster sounds like just the thing.
Techdave, I didn't see what happened, and am waiting to find out if the damage is in any way covered (it seems that the GDO wasn't properly adjusted and exerted way too much force) so I probably shouldn't say more about it.
The light beam unfortunately would not help if the front or back end of a car was under the path of the door but the tires weren't breaking the beam, or if the beam was between the front & back wheels of a bike, or - well, you get the idea. Within our extended family, we have folks who are severely hearing impaired, in a wheelchair, suffer from Alzheimer's, etc., and I'd rather replace all of our GDOs than to risk anyone being injured. It's not possible to eliminate every risk, but this is one I can manage.

GARRISON, MINN. -- Vikings vice president of player personnel Rick Spielman told a standing-room only crowd at the Blue Goose Inn on Saturday that the team's goal is to retain its own free agents, including running back Chester Taylor, said the franchise would "love to have Brett Favre back for another year," and made the organization's first statements about left tackle Bryant McKinnie being removed from the NFC Pro Bowl roster.
Spielman is one of many members of the organization who is spending time in the lake Mille Lacs area this weekend to take part in the team's 15th annual Arctic Blast snowmobiling event, which benefits the Vikings Children's Fund and makes stops at various points.
The Blue Goose Inn was the center of the action as Pat Leopold, the coordinator of the Vikings Children's Fund, spent much of the day at the microphone overseeing the activities and former and current players signed autographs for a crowd that everyone with the organization said was the biggest they had ever seen for this portion of the program.
The most informative portion came when Spielman fielded questions from the audience and Vikings radio play-by-play man Paul Allen. Spielman echoed what coach Brad Childress had said a few days after the Vikings' loss to New Orleans in the NFC title game, making it clear that Favre was being given time to make a decision about whether to return and that no pressure was being applied from Winter Park.
"I think you go ahead and let Brett decide what he wants to do," Spielman said. "I know the organization, from our ownership, from our coaches and I think from our fans out there, we'd love to have Brett Favre back for another year and see if we can make another run at this."
Spielman said the Vikings are continuing their organizational meetings and that things remain very fluid. Spielman and his staff spent time last week going over the unrestricted free agents who will be on the market as of March 5 (even though as a final four team the Vikings can't sign any of those players unless they lose one) and beginning Monday will start their draft meetings before heading to the NFL Scouting Combine the following week. The Vikings scouts are scheduled to arrive on Sunday.
Asked if waiting on Favre was going to impact the Vikings' potential pursuit of a quarterback, Spielman said: "I know from an organizational standpoint, everybody would love to have Brett Favre back. But I don't think that will influence what we're going to do at the quarterback position either."
That's because, according to Spielman, the Vikings will be as thorough as ever in examining their options even if Favre is back.
"We are in the process of all our meetings," Spielman said, "so we'll evaluate any potential trades out there, we'll look and see if there's anyone who gets cut, we'll look and see what we have and re-evaluate where we are at with Sage [Rosenfels] and T-Jack [Tarvaris Jackson]. We'll also evaluate this draft very closely. If there is a young, talented quarterback out there. I don't think we'll see Sam Bradford, I don't know about [Jimmy] Clausen. [The Vikings are slated to select 30th overall in the first round.] We're going to be looking at [Tim] Tebow, [Colt] McCoy, all those top quarterbacks. And if any of those guys have the potential to come in and help us then we'll definitely look at that in the draft as well."
Here's what Spielman had to say on various other subjects:
On McKinnie being removed from the Pro Bowl team after failing to show up for practices (the fan who asked the question called it a "total embarrassment."): "I know from an organizational standpoint it should be – and these guys up here [former players were signing autographs at the time], these players that have played in Pro Bowls, the great players of the past – to get an honor to go play in the Pro Bowl is something that's unique and something that should be cherished. It's a privilege and honor to go there and play in a game like that and I know from an organizational standpoint that we were disappointed as well as a lot of our fans were how things turned out."
On retaining Taylor, who will be a free agent on March 5 but can be re-signed by the Vikings: "That's one thing that we're in the process of discussing right now. Chester Taylor brings so much to this football team. He's like the unsung hero of the offense. You hear about Sidney Rice and Shank [Visanthe Shiancoe] and Percy Harvin and Brett Favre and Adrian Peterson. But what Chester Taylor does for this football team -- not only on the field but off the field --he may be, as we look and we evaluate all the free agents out there, one of the top free-agent backs coming out. Especially in that role he plays in third down, it's so valuable for us."
On the Vikings' plans for their entire unrestricted free-agent class: "What our goal is and our intention is going into this is to sign Chester Taylor back, to sign Benny Sapp back, to sign Greg Lewis. He made a couple of big plays for us this year. If we can keep our own guys and try to get those guys back and then have another good draft, then I think we'll be where we want to be."
On if nose tackle Pat Williams might retire after saying it was 50-50 whether he would return in 2010: "We are so early in the offseason yet, but we are anticipating all of our players being back. Now Pat had injured his elbow toward the season of the season, missed a [game], but played very well in the Dallas game. He played excellent in the New Orleans game. So right now as far as we know Pat Williams is going to be back and be a Minnesota Viking next year."

Over time we have gotten used to machines assuming certain roles in society, but even at the dawn of the the age of robotics, some types of skilled labor still seem beyond their reach. After all, how does a machine wield a hammer and overcome the perpetual problem-solving involved in putting together a house or a high-rise? While we might be some ways off from watching buildings sprout out of the ground at the push of a button, flying robots are already carrying out surveying and mapping tasks on construction sites from the US to Japan. But leading researchers are adamant that when it comes to automating the building industry, these machines have more to offer. Read More

As water shortage is a serious issue in many parts of the world, a means of efficiently harnessing safe drinking water from thin air without the need of expensive infrastructure could be a real lifesaver.

What to do with London's increasingly-cramped Heathrow Airport?

To this end, the mayor's office has revealed three proposals for transforming the airport into a new town dubbed Heathrow City. Read More

Hydrogen fueled vehicles, such as Toyota's FCV and Hyundai's Tuscon Fuel Cell, face a chicken or egg predicament: consumers are rightfully hesitant to invest in such vehicles if they don't have a convenient way to refuel them, and energy companies don't want to cough up dollars for costly infrastructure without significant numbers of such vehicles on the road. But a study by researchers at Sandia National Laboratories says that more existing gas stations in California could readily integrate hydrogen fuel than previously thought. Read More

I lost on S-hook off the front tow hook on my car when hitting a prodigious pothole at moderate speed. Luckily I was on surface streets so could pull over immediately and secure it. The S-hook was waving around bouncing off the hood - very annoying. I ditched the S-hooks and went to carabiners as you suggest.

The Great Hope
November 28, 2007
John H. McWhorter
It is not uncommon to see Barack Obama described as âcomfortable in his skin.â Yet in âA Bound Man: Why We Are Excited About Obama and Why He Canât Winâ (Free Press, 142 pages, $22), Hoover Institution senior fellow Shelby Steele argues that underneath Mr. Obamaâs cool-tempered exterior is a soul divided against itself. Specifically, Mr. Steele suspects that Mr. Obama has crafted an oppositional âblackâ identity of a staged variety, despite having been raised by whites in a culture disconnected from the black American community.
On the subject of Mr. Obamaâs blackness, most have considered it a political plus. Mr. Obamaâs meteoric ascent has been due partly to his being bright and talented, but these qualities alone have left many a campaigner stranded at the starting gate. As Mr. Steele observes, what has made Mr. Obama a celebrity is being the kind of black person who, in not threatening whites with accusations of racism, offers them the opportunity to show their non-racist bona fides by giving him their vote. Leon Wieseltier, the literary editor of the New Republic, to take one example, has acknowledged, âI plan to be moved to tears on the day that I vote for a black man for the presidency of this stained and stirring country.â
However, Mr. Steele is more interested in Mr. Obamaâs attempts at embracing a âblack identityâ in more overt ways, such as watching him join the Trinity United Church of Christ on Chicagoâs South Side, presided over by a black minister caught up in pretending race relations in America have barely inched beyond 1956. Mr. Steele sees these kinds of acts as emblematic of a bind black America is caught in, pretending an allegiance to a separatist, victim-based âblack ideologyâ despite the fact that the only way to true success in America is via mainstream values focusing on hard work and coping with obstacles as they come.
Accurately, he pins black-power rhetoric as having been âlittle more than a style of clenched fists, Afros, and right-on phrases,â with âno relationship to accomplishment.â Recalling his brief experience of the movement in the â60s, Mr. Steele recounts âhaving to pretend, to go along with blackness despite my true feelings.â
Mr. Steele pegs Mr. Obama as pretending in the same way. He usefully points out, âIt was not a âBlack Value Systemâ that prepared Mr. Obama so well for the world,â and asks, âDoesnât Mr. Obamaâs success make the precise point that âblacknessâ is a dead-end?â In the end, Mr. Steele writes, Mr. Obama âsimply cannot acknowledge the full truth of his own experience,â because to do so would be to sacrifice the appeal of his âblackness.â As a candidate, then, âHe is bound against himself.â
As always, Mr. Steeleâs general perspective is dead-on, and rendered in his inimitably lapidary and penetrating fashion. However, Mr. Obama is less totemic a figure than Mr. Steele implies, and his character does not fit as neatly into Mr. Steeleâs schema as âBound Manâ suggests.
The first problem is Mr. Steeleâs psychological analysis of Mr. Obama. Mr. Steele implies that maintaining a distinct âblack identityâ is a kind of âstrategy,â shored up by people who need, for career or emotional reasons, to capitalize on whitesâ desire for absolution from bigotry.
Mr. Steele is correct that nothing in Mr. Obamaâs background furnishes a logical basis for a genuine black identity. However, his surmise that Mr. Obama must therefore be driven by something peculiar and tragic â such as a quest to compensate for the absence of his Kenyan father â is something of a stretch.
As a politician Mr. Obama must engage with the larger public, and the fact is that most black Americans were not raised by whites, as Mr. Obama was. In addressing them as a âblackâ man, Mr. Obama is likely trying to build a bridge between his life story and theirs.
Mr. Steele assumes that, deep down, Mr. Obama would like to preach the message of self-reliance that Bill Cosby has been airing of late. However, this misses that Mr. Obama is naturally given to attempting to square circles. That is, he is an intellectual capable of seeing all sides of an issue, and seeking common ground, rather than seeing only ideological divides.
Certainly, Mr. Obama can overdo this, as he has demonstrated by treating corn farmers in his home state with kid gloves, despite being aware of many problems with ethanol subsidies. However, in raceneutral cases such as these, Mr. Obama can hardly be analyzed as donning an ill-fitting dashiki, âinfatuated with the possibilities of his skin color.â
At times Mr. Steeleâs analysis, so focused on Mr. Obama as a racial entity as to miss Mr. Obama the individual, verges on falling into the very racial essentialism that he condemns in Mr. Obama and his fans. Then, on the other hand, Mr. Steele contends that despite his gestural outreach to the âSoul Patrol,â Mr. Obama is nevertheless not âblackâ enough to arouse enough of the black electorate in the primaries to get the nomination.
However, it would be hard to say that Mr. Obama is running for president in the deracinated guise of a Sidney Poitier in âGuess Whoâs Coming to Dinner.â He does, after all, attend a church run by a black radical. He worked up the black crowd at the latest Selma anniversary by referring to his debt to what the marchers there achieved (âDonât tell me Iâm not coming home to Selma, Alabamaâ). He talks to black audiences in âblackcentâ cadences, which he learned neither on his white motherâs knee nor in Hawaii or Indonesia, but as a second language.
Of course, there are those voters for whom only someone like Al Sharpton would be a âreally blackâ presidential candidate. But this is a fringe contingent, and black voters were uninspired by Mr. Sharpton when he actually did make a run. Blacks currently unsure whether they will vote for him most commonly cite unfamiliarity as the reason. This suggests that Mr. Obama is trailing Hillary Clinton in the polls among blacks more because his rise to fame has been so rapid than because black voters could only be aroused by black candidates with the politics of Cynthia McKinney.
Like Mr. Steele, I have winced watching Mr. Obama in his more forced gestures â such as linking his black identity to the fact that police officers would see him as black. Overall, however, Mr. Obama is one part politician and one part an individual who, like Bill Clinton, is temperamentally inclined to pleasing all comers. No one considered that quality one of the things that rendered Mr. Clinton our âfirst black president.â
Mr. Steeleâs book is brilliant in many passages. Yet his larger argument does not convince me that Mr. Obama, or someone like him, could not be in the Oval Office one day.
