Couldn't Somebody Tamper Enough To Make It Singable?
Damned Russkies, always messing with out Holy Freedom Songs:
Stravinsky emigrated to the United States in 1939 and became a citizen in 1945, eventually settling in sun-drenched West Hollywood, California. He did arrange the Star Spangled Banner for a series of Boston Symphony concerts, explaining his
desire to do my bit in these grievous times toward fostering and preserving the spirit of patriotism in this country.
After the first performance, the audience was apparently shocked by what they considered to be an unconventional harmonization. The Boston Police, misinterpreting a Federal law prohibiting "tampering" with the National Anthem, told Stravinsky that he had to remove his arrangement from the remaining programs. Reluctantly, he conceded.
With the benefit of hindsight, and years of garishly over-embellished ballpark vocal renditions, Stravinsky's Star Spangled Banner doesn't sound so bad. This is the National Anthem through the ears of an immigrant. Its bass line and inner voices suggest a hint of "Great Gate of Kiev" Russian weight. There's some interesting, unorthodox modernist voice leading that might vaguely remind you of Stravinsky's Pulcinella. You'll hear the shocking seventh chord at the end...
So why wasn't Roseanne Barr arrested?

O Say, Can You Sing?
I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear,Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be blithe and strong,The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam,The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work,The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat, the deckhand singing on the steamboat deck,The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench, the hatter singing as he stands,The wood-cutter's song, the ploughboy's on his way in the morning, or at noon intermission or at sundown,The delicious singing of the mother, or of the young wife at work, or of the girl sewing or washing,Each singing what belongs to him or her and to none else,The day what belongs to the day—at night the party of young fellows, robust, friendly,Singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs.

Promising Bitcoins His Campaign Can't Cash
Ah, the Constitutional Scholar Candidate panders:
Scofflaw rancher Cliven Bundy said he met with Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) for nearly an hour this week and found he sees eye to eye with the GOP presidential candidate.
Bundy, whose ongoing dispute over grazing rights on federally owned land sparked an armed militia standoff last year with the Bureau of Land Management, said Paul assured him he would grant the rancher's demands and make Nevada a sovereign state if elected next year to the White House.
"He said, 'One of your biggest problems is getting Nevada to recognize its sovereignty and to stand up for its sovereignty," Bundy told KNPR-FM. "He said he would turn over the jurisdiction authority and allow the state of Nevada to act like a sovereign state. He said it would be up to we the people to govern ourselves."
That word salad sounds like Bush, but with even less legal meaning. Regardless, I'll bet the hard currency he's saved paying his fair share will allow him to send a nice bundle of Libertarian Dollies to fund Paulie's Libertarian Follies.

Friends Journal: The Challenge of Celebrating Historical Wars.
Every year the Friends meeting in Trenton, N.J., faces a challenge. Trenton is the site where two battles took place around Christmas 1776, changing the course of the Revolutionary War, and every year the city turns out to celebrate the anniversary of these battles. Preceded, as in 1776, by George Washington's famous winter crossing of the Delaware River, the battle anniversary gives Trenton a delectable keystone for its tourism and economic development enterprise. During Patriots' Week, December 26–31, the local calendar fills with demonstrations of marching, cannons blasting, muskets shooting, reenactments of the Delaware crossing and the two battles, feasting, dancing, a colonial tea, a march of Pennsylvania regiments from Philadelphia through Trenton to the Princeton battlefield, and more. Arts, history, civic, municipal, and business organizations collaborate to create nonstop festivity. As the hotel fills with guests, the city fills with pride in the fact that, as King George III's advisors lamented at war's end, "all our hopes were blasted by that unhappy affair at Trenton."
Much of the festival happens at Trenton's Old Barracks Museum, a handsomely restored historic site from the French and Indian War (1754–1763) that is the city's most popular downtown historic destination. Old Barracks, along with Saint Michael's Episcopal Church (1748) and Old Eagle Tavern (1765, now abandoned), are three of the four buildings from 1776 that remain today. The fourth is the Trenton Friends Meeting House, which was built in 1739.
Because we occupy one of the four original buildings, and because, as Friends, we care deeply about and work hard to promote the well-being of this post-industrial city, the meeting today finds itself caught between its civic commitment to Trenton and its principled witness against war. Like our eighteenth-century ancestors, we worry that silence in the face of, or absence from, this great civic celebration might foster suspicions about our loyalty. So rather than stand aside, we create special programs each year that support the Patriots' Week festival, honoring Trenton's history while also holding up our witness against militarism.
There's always especially been tension for Friends when "good" wars are waged, and some choose to fight whilst others maintain Witness against violence. Ain't easy either way.

Goddamned Editors
Editing the Declaration in John Adams:
Adams wrote years later to Timothy Pickering:
Mr. Jefferson came into Congress, in June, 1775, and brought with him a reputation for literature, science, and a happy talent of composition. Writings of his were handed about, remarkable for the peculiar felicity of expression. Though a silent member in Congress, he was so prompt, frank, explicit, and decisive upon committees and in conversation, not even Samuel Adams was more so, that he soon seized upon my heart; and upon this occasion I gave him my vote, and did all in my power to procure the votes of others. I think he had one more vote than any other, and that placed him at the head of the committee. I had the next highest number, and that placed me the second. The committee met, discussed the subject, and then appointed Mr. Jefferson and me to make the draught, I suppose because we were the two first on the list.
The sub-committee met. Jefferson proposed to me to make the draught I said, "l will not." "You should do it." "Oh! no." "Why will you not? You ought do it." "I will not." "Why?" "Reasons enough." "What can be your reasons?" "Reason first--You are a Virginian, and a Virginian ought to appear at the head of this business. Reason second--I am obnoxious, suspected, and unpopular. You are much otherwise. Reason third--You can write ten times better than I can." "WelI," said Jefferson, "if you are decided, I will do as well as I can." "Very well. When you have drawn it up, we will have a meeting."
A meeting we accordingly had, and conned the paper over. I was delighted with its high tone and the flights of oratory with which it abounded, especially that concerning negro slavery, which, though I knew his Southern brethren would never suffer to pass in Congress, I certainly never would oppose. There were other expressions which I would not have inserted, if I had drawn it, particularly that which called the King a tyrant. I thought this too personal. I never believed George to be a tyrant in disposition and in nature; I always believed him to be deceived by his courtiers on both sides of the Atlantic, and in his official capacity only, cruel. I thought the expression too passionate, and too much like scolding, for so grave and solemn a document; but as Franklin and Sherman were to inspect it afterwards, I thought it would not become me to strike it out. I consented to report it, and do not now remember that I made or suggested a single alteration.
We reported it the committee of five. It was read, and I do not remember that Franklin or Sherman criticized any thing. We were all in haste. Congress was impatient, and the instrument was reported, as I believe, in Jefferson's handwriting as he first drew it. Congress cut off about a quarter of it, as I expected the would; but they obliterated some of the best of it, and left all that was exceptionable, if any thing in it was.
Walter Isaacson, in his biography of Franklin, writes:
The most important of his edits was small but resounding. He crossed out, using the heavy backslashes that he often employed, the last three words of Jefferson's phrase "We hold these truths to be sacred and undeniable" and changed them to the words now enshrined in history: "We hold these truths to be self-evident.""
The idea of "self-evident" truths was one that drew less on John Locke, who was Jefferson's favored philosopher, than on the scientific determinism espoused by Isaac Newton and on the analytic empiricism of Franklin's close friend David Hume. In what became known as "Hume's fork," the great Scottish philosopher, along with Leibniz and others, had developed a theory that distinguished between synthetic truths that describe matters of fact (such as "London is bigger than Philadelphia") and analytic truths that are self-evident by virtue of reason and definition ("The angles of a triangle equal 180 degrees"; "All bachelors are unmarried"). By using the word "sacred," Jefferson had asserted, intentionally or not, that the principle in question—the equality of men and their endowment by their creator with inalienable rights—was an assertion of religion. Franklin's edit turned it instead into an assertion of rationality.
That scientific rationality still kept humans in bondage for several score years, but it was still a pretty nice start...

Slavery? What's That?
Wikipedia's On This Date Thingy: 1777 – Vermont becomes the first American territory to abolish slavery.
Yeah, well, nope.
Delegates put forth a draft constitution that abolished involuntary servitude of sorts on July 2nd (not the 4th, as recorded by Ira Allen), which was approved (but never ratified by the People) on the 8th. And there's still some controversy/confusion about whether there were any humans bound to service in our fair state in those early years...

You Cross This Line, You Die!
What now, Colonel Jindal?
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) said he would wait for a third and final federal court ruling declaring bans on same-sex marriage unconstitutional before recognizing gay marriages in the state, and Thursday morning a district judge gave him just that.
Thursday, federal District Judge Martin Feldman reversed his previous ruling upholding the state's gay marriage ban, as reported by The Times-Picuyane.
Louisiana's laws and constitutional amendment prohibiting marriage for gay couples violates the Fourteenth Amendment, the judge said.
The order was a procedural motion to address the litigation specific to Louisiana in light of the Supreme Court's gay marriage decision, which effectively legalized same-sex marriage nationwide Friday.
Yes, this is what he reminds me of.

A Good Man Is Hard To Find
Shut up, Bobby Lee. It's no real pleasure in life.
Unless you like traitors and slavers:
So I heard on the radio yesterday the mention that, in Germany, they put up markers and plaques noting where Jews were killed, or hid, or were housed in ghettos. The post-Nazi German government and people wish to "never forget," and the public honors go to the victims of the Holocaust, not those who fought and died to defend Nazi Germany.
In America? Where are the statues to slaves and abolitionists? Where are the public honors reminding us we have turned our backs on slavery and the horrors it produced for 300 years? The Third Reich lasted only 12 years, yet Germany is determined to reject all that it stood for, and to honor the victims of that national nightmare. Slavery in the Americas existed for 300 years, and we put up statutes to the traitors and seditionists who fought that war, claiming they fought for 'state's rights' and the "lost cause" and the "noble traditions" of the South.
But not getting to watch a mediocre TV show (yes, I loved it as a kid!) on one particular channel is just like Hitler. So is letting people who love each other marry.
Seems like a good time to remember that General Lee (not the car, that kindly old man who hated slavery but kept slaves) retreated from Gettysburg with his mortally-wounded army on Independence Day. You lost. Fold up the flag and put it away. It's no real pleasure in life reveling in your shameful past.

Happy Independence (For Some) Day, Mr Adams!
Resolved, That this Congress will resolve itself into a committee of the whole, to take into consideration the resolution respecting independency:
Resolved, That the Declaration be referred to said committee.
The Congress resolved itself into a committee of the whole, ∥After some time,∥ the president resumed the chair. Mr. [Benjamin] Harrison reported, that the committee have had under consideration the matters referred to them, and have agreed to the resolution, which they ordered him to report, and desired him to move for leave to sit again.
The resolution agreed to by committee of the whole being read, the determination thereof was postponed, at the request of a colony, till to morrow.
Always gotta send shit to committee. And John Dickinson spoke against it:
Independence, I am aware, has attractions for all mankind but I am maintaining that, in the present quarrel, the friends of independence are the promoters of slavery, and those who desire to separate would but render us more dependent...the democratic power may carry all before it and involve the whole state in confusion and ruin.
But efficiently, they adopted the Lee Resolution the following day:
The Congress resumed the consideration of the resolution agreed to by and reported from the committee of the whole; and the same being read, was agreed to as follows:
Resolved, That these United Colonies are, and, of right, ought to be, Free and Independent States; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown, and that all political connexion between them, and the state of Great Britain, is, and ought to be, totally dissolved
John Adams wrote his dearest friend, Abigail, the next day:
The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. . It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.
Proving that the Framers were not entirely right about everything. Hell, they might not even have been right about rebelling--I've seriously considered that notion since high school--because, you know, we kept slavery around longer than pretty much everybody else so the One Percenters would be happy.

Jindal Stands In The Schoolhouse Door
Homophobia now, homophobia tomorrow, homophobia forever:
The Supreme Court has already said that state bans on same-sex marriage are unconstitutional, a decision that a federal appeals court reiterated Wednesday applies to Louisiana's anti-gay marriage measures. But Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal is holding out for yet another ruling before he allows the state to recognize marriages between gay couples.
Wednesday evening U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed an earlier district court's decision in favor of Louisiana's same-sex bans, citing last week's Supreme Court decision. The appeals court sent the case back to the district court to issue a new order. A Jindal spokesman told The Times-Picayune that the state will wait for that district court to speak again before it falls in line.
"Our agencies will follow the Louisiana Constitution until the District Court orders us otherwise," Mike Reed, a spokesman in the governor's office, said.
Jindal's office had previously said that the state would wait for the appeals court order before recognizing the marriages. Now it appears the state will wait for yet a another procedural step.
Childish buffoons. Next procedural step: Obama Federalizes the Guard and has them do the paperwork.

Support Our Troops, The Pussies!
Christ, what assholes:
A Facebook group operated by right-wing military veterans mocked combat veterans who asked neighbors to be courteous when celebrating the Fourth of July holiday with fireworks.
The OAF Nation account posted an image Wednesday evening that showed a bearded veteran wearing a T-shirt reading "comfortable with violence" standing beside a placard distributed by a mental health advocacy group.
"Combat veteran lives here: Please be courteous with your fireworks," read the signs, which were shipped for free to veterans by the group Military With PTSD.
OAF Nation and a related account, Operator as f*ck, each posted identical homophobic posts mocking veterans who display the signs.
"Well which one is it, sister?!" the posts read. "Are you 'comfortable with violence' or do you want people to cater to your fragility because you volunteered to be around sh*t that blows the f*ck up? Thank f*ck the Taliban and AQ don't have roman candles and firecrackers."
"What do you guys think about these f*ggoty ass yard signs?" the account administrator asks group members, listing several hashtags intended to underscore the posts' subtext.
Naturally, the right to shoot off sparkly explosive rockets trumps any right to health our veterans have...

The land was ours before we were the land's.She was our land more than a hundred yearsBefore we were her people. She was oursIn Massachusetts, in Virginia,But we were England's, still colonials,Possessing what we still were unpossessed by,Possessed by what we now no more possessed.Something we were withholding made us weakUntil we found out that it was ourselvesWe were withholding from our land of living,And forthwith found salvation in surrender.Such as we were we gave ourselves outright(The deed of gift was many deeds of war)To the land vaguely realizing westward,But still unstoried, artless, unenhanced,Such as she was, such as she would become.

Well, good on our other (ostensibly) non-diddling state senator, Dustin Degree (via GMD):
Fourteen Vermont senators said yes and nine were undecided when asked if they would vote to expel a colleague facing criminal sex charges if he does not resign before lawmakers return for the second half of the legislative term in January.
Those indicating they would vote yes: Sen. Rebecca Balint, D-Windham; Sen. Phil Baruth, D-Chittenden; Sen. Joe Benning, R-Caledonia; Sen. John Campbell, D-Windsor; Sen. Brian Collamore, R-Rutland; Sen. Dustin Degree, R-Franklin; Sen. William Doyle, R-Washington; Sen. Virginia Lyons, D-Chittenden; Sen. Richard Mazza, D-Chittenden-Grand Isle; Sen. Kevin Mullin, R-Rutland; Sen. Anthony Pollina, P-D, Washington; Sen. Richard Sears, D-Bennington; Sen. Michael Sirotkin, D-Chittenden; and Sen. David Zuckerman, D-Chittenden.

"A colored soldier can stop a bullet just as good a white one."
Apropos of Boston's finest intellects dishonoring the 54th, here's a letter from Col Shaw to his sister on July 1, 1863:
There is a late-order from Washington, cutting down the pay of coloured troops from $13 to $10 per month. They have not yet decided here whether we come under the order or not. If we do, I shall refuse to have the regiment paid off, until I hear from Governor Andrew.
Another bit of insanity is a proposition to arm the negroes with pikes instead of muskets. They might as well go back eighteen centuries as three, and give us bows and arrows. General Strong says the regiment shall retain their rifles; but Montgomery and Higginson are in a great stew about it; and, indeed, such an act would take all the spirit and pluck out of their men, and show them that the government didn't consider them fit to be trusted with fire-arms; they would be ridiculed by the white soldiers, and made to feel their inferiority in every respect. The folly of some of our leaders is wonder-full! I can't imagine who started the idea. I hope the gentleman has a book of drill for the pike all ready.
Thankfully we're much more enlightened and egalitarian today...

Who Knew That Being Tied To Racism And Slavery Would Be Hazzardous?
My 11yo self will miss Catherine Bach's tighty tight short shorts:
A week after Warner Bros. announced it would no longer sanction the manufacturing of "Dukes of Hazzard" merchandise featuring the flag, TV Land announced it's pulling reruns of the 1980s' TV series featuring John Schneider and Tom Wopat as Bo and Luke Duke in fictional Hazzard County, Georgia.
In a statement to ABC News, the network confirmed Wednesday that the show had been "removed" from its schedule, while declining to comment further.
Reruns can still be found on CMT and online.
TV Land's decision comes amid a growing national debate over the use of the Confederate flag, which was painted on the roof of The General Lee, the orange Dodge Charger driven by the Duke boys.
One of the show's stars, Ben Jones, who played Cooter Davenport, has come out in support of the flag.
"That flag on top of The General Lee made a statement that the values of the rural south were the values of courage and family and good times," he wrote on Facebook last week.
Jones, who also served in Congress as a Georgia Democrat, was responding to vows from retailers Walmart, Sears, eBay, Amazon and crafts site Etsy to ban sales of Confederate flag merchandise.
Ah well, the Perfectly Rational Free Market has spoken! Perhaps to make up for this slight to Proud Southern Heritage, perhaps somebody could produce a comedy ala Hogan's Heroes called Andersonville Follies. Starring Jessica Simpson, natch.

Makes About As Much Sense As A 3-Dollar CSA Note
I'll buy that for a dollar of worthless currency:
New Yorker and Fox News host Sean Hannity piped up again on behalf of the Confederate flag on Tuesday during an interview with presidential candidate New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R).
"Do you not believe that there are people on the other side of this issue who are not racist, but for other reasons like that flag?" Hannity asked.
Christie said he understood that, but mantained that the flag has become a hateful symbol.
"Well it's been hijacked by some of these lunatic groups," Hannity said.
Lunatic groups = everybody who still thinks the flag is about heritage (of losing a war for one of the worst causes ever) and not hate.

Water's Not A Human Right, Either
This dude is responsible for American communications policy:
Someone drag this jackass into the 21st century, please.Federal Communications Commission member Michael O'Rielly yesterday argued that "Internet access is not a necessity or human right" and called this one of the most important "principles for regulators to consider as it relates to the Internet and our broadband economy."
In other words, since he thinks the internet is totally optional in this day and age, regulators should basically ignore the needs of people to have access to it.[P]eople do a disservice by overstating [the internet's] relevancy or stature in people's lives. People can and do live without Internet access, and many lead very successful lives.
The Internet's just a fad, anyway.

You Are Still The Weakest Branch
From June of '12:
I certainly acknowledge that SCOTUS and the Judiciary are potential--in some cases, very real--threats to individual rights but given Madison's fears of tyranny at the state level, which I think is very much more pronounced today, the Court has proven to be a significant firewall against the spread of some injustice: just look at [recent] rulings [and orders] on [Obamacare, marriage, redistricting, abortion, contraception, housing, and even the 4th Amendment]. And the branch really is checked fairly easily when contrasted with the Imperial Presidency.
Granted, some limiting mechanisms have a high bar. Only one life-tenured Supreme Court Justice has ever been impeached, and Chase wasn't successfully removed at that. FDR's Court Packing plan fizzled, though it has been given credit in some circles for putting the fear of God into the Nine Old Men and saving New Deal programs subsequently.
But the fact remains that SCOTUS can't actively change law, and by design is passive and reactive, waiting for cases to be brought before it. Congress can more effectively write new law to overcome constitutional objections, and even change the Court's jurisdiction. The President can sign such legislation and ignore rulings. And yes, even though it's hard, we can and have amended the Constitution a number of times, explicitly repudiating what the Supremes have decided.
Seems apt again...

My Great Great Grandpappy Didn't Fight For No Queers
Certainly there is no contending against the Will of God; but still there is some difficulty in ascertaining, and applying it, to particular cases.
- A Lincoln (October 1, 1858)
Oh yes, of course:
"In the Civil War, some 600,000 people died in a country that was much less populated than that today, and it was a much more religious country," [Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-WI)] said. "I think a lot of people who died fighting in that war felt they died fighting for a religious cause — you know, 'Battle Hymn of the Republic' and all that."
"I think it would shock those people who died in that war to find out the constitutional amendment which was ratified kind of as a culmination of their great efforts and their great deaths would be, 150 years later, a little less than 150 years later, used by these five robed, arrogant, robed people to take this constitutional amendment and say that that constitutional amendment that was drafted after the Civil War was in fact an amendment designed to say that same-sex marriage had to be legal," Grothman said.
The war fought over Federal Supremacy and resulted in the 14th Amendment's guarantee of equal protection was all a waste now that everybody can get married.

Deflating Hate
The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
Indeed, love wins:
Zea, a 7-year-old first grader, stood firm in the face of hate over the weekend at a celebration of the Supreme Court ruling that legalized same-sex marriage. When a preacher began ranting at her through a microphone, little Zea quietly waved her rainbow flag and never backed down.
Her father...wrote that it took place over the weekend at ComFest, an annual music and arts festival in Columbus, Ohio that turned into an impromptu celebration of Friday's decision.
"Zea didn't just flash the flag at that hatemonger, and bail. They went toe to toe, for several minutes, while he bellowed all of his fire and brimstone right in her face," Bowling wrote on Facebook. "Grown man vs first grader. She told me afterward that she did feel scared. The one thing the people of #comfest2015 never let her feel though? Alone."
Another lesson for us all.

Cruz argued that the Constitution's framers had intended to limit the court's power through the threat of impeachment, but he said that hasn't even been a "scarecrow" for justices for two centuries.
"Even 200 years ago, the Supreme Court wasn't afraid of it," he said, but he conceded that impeachment would be nearly impossible in today's divided U.S. Senate.
"We can't even muster 50 votes to defeat Loretta Lynch, the attorney general who tells us she's not going to follow the law or the Constitution, (so) there's no universe in which there are 67 votes to remove Anthony Kennedy from the Supreme Court," Cruz said, revealing the target of his wrath.
Kelly reminded Cruz that American voters had twice elected President Barack Obama, so she wondered how the Tea Party senator could be sure he would like the results of his plan to put Supreme Court justices before voters.
"Let's be clear," Cruz said, momentarily losing his footing. "What I'm talking about are judicial retention elections, which means you could have the same appointment, the same senate confirmation, but every eight years the people would have an up-or-down vote with the option to remove a justice."
"But what if the people bounced out Scalia and Alito and Thomas and we had a President Obama in the White House?" Kelly said.
I see absolutely nothing wrong with Cruz's brilliant plan. It's like a Swiss fucking watch.

Ours Is Not To-morrow
Youth's the season made for joys,
Love is then our duty:
She alone who that employs,
Well deserves her beauty.
Let's be gay
While we may,
Beauty's a flower despised in decay.

Romans 1:18
I think Steve M is on to something: if states such as Texas, Alabama, and Mississippi won't obey the federal laws or the rulings of the Supreme Court, then the next time they get hit by floods, tornadoes, or a hurricane, they can pay for their own disaster relief.
Yes, of course it would be cruel to deny assistance to the innocent people when a natural disaster strikes; why should they suffer because their governor or attorney general is a homophobic asshole? (Well, for one thing, the people of the state elected them. They bear some responsibility for putting them in office in the first place.)
The point is that the states can't have it both ways: demanding to be left alone and stand for states' rights (and Jesus!) until the going gets hairy. It's like a teenager who stomps out of the house swearing he'll never have anything at all to do with his cruel parents and then demands they give him his allowance.
Wait, maybe Matthew 26:52 is more apt. Whatthefuckever, these assholes could be taught a thing or two...

His Red Right Hand To Plague Us
If I had to choose to live under the words of Madison, Mason, Adams, Jefferson and Washington or to live under the words of Jesus, I'd never hesitate but to choose the later. It would produce egalitarian democracy and, in accordance with the economic laws of Moses, a radically level and economically just society. As the often misrepresented mentions of slavery by Paul, slave owners were to treat those they legally held in slavery, not as slaves but as equals, as if they were members of their own families. Under the teachings of Jesus, slavery as the Founders practiced and supported and embedded in their Constitution could not have been maintained.
It's a fair cop. But we work with what we have.

Spittle Spattle
Oh noes: Tolerance vs. Pride? Spat on by parade-goers, Catholic priest has this message
Sure, being spat on is just like being denied civil rights, or being killed in hate crimes. But I hope everybody reads beyond the hed:
"The two men who spat on me are probably very good man (sic) caught up in excitement and past resentment," he wrote. "Most in that parade would not do that."
He dismissed their act of ugliness as simply being caught up in the moment.
"Oh well, I deserve worse," he wrote.
But Father Jonathan demonstrated that he not only preaches tolerance – he practices it.
A lesson for us all.
Yes indeedy, a lesson for all. And I recommend the bigots should start learning it first.
PS--To be fair, this minister who performed weddings didn't get spat on.

Hobby Lobby As An Excuse For Murder?
Can it be long before we hear about pastors being killed for performing gay marriages? The homophobic American Taliban is not about to take the gay marriage ruling last week in stride. Nay, they intend to fight with everything they've got, including calls for stonings and vengeance.
In the process, they've lost sight of what being a Christian is really all about.
Pastor Steven Anderson, of Faithful Word Baptist Church, called for stoning to death ministers who performed same-sex marriage ceremonies and repeated his call for the execution of all LGBT people.
"I hate them with a perfect hatred," Anderson shouted. "I count them mine enemies."
Anderson said the Bible consistently called Christians to "have the guts to stand up to our culture that is now accepts homos."
"Where's the call to repentance?" Anderson said. "Where's the hope, where's the love and the grace? It isn't there."
I really don't like Christian anarchists.

First of all, Olmert must decide that the convergence will be to sites within the Green Line and not to the settlement blocs, and must create an action plan for absorbing the evacuees on this basis.0 comments
As Olmert considers the concerns of settlers, he should know how to set a limit: to listen to them, but not fawn before them. Meanwhile, the settlers have reached that point in time where they also must realize their role is over.0 comments
Olmert must clarify his convergence plan, both conceptually and practically, so that his coalition partners are aware of the main mission of the new government.0 comments
It is unacceptable to start out in Olmert's coalition, as some have suggested, stay in it for a year or two, and bolt if and when the moment of truth comes to implement the convergence plan.0 comments

Before I bought this I was an ardent Clinique user. I used the Clinique equivalent but it pales in comparison to this. I love this foundation it is shear enough to to look natural but tented enough to cover imperfections.
It is very pricey but I am addicted.

I've used MakeupForever, Bobbi Brown, Lancome and Chanel Vitalumiere foundation and when I ran out, I switched to Dior Nude cuz I heard so many good things about the product, seeing that it is a very popular foundation among Asian women.
First off, I'm Korean and I have medium to combination skin. They recommended 030 which was a good match to my skin tone while 023 was a better match for Dior Forever (got a sample of this one as well).
After using this for 2 weeks, I'm honestly disappointed. While Dior Nude is supposed to be the more sheer option, it looks a bit cakey and not as silky as Chanel or Lancome ones despite the fact that I use the same method of applying all of them using a brush. I also found the texture of this product to be more powdery and cakey when applied than Lancome or Chanel. The coverage is sheer to medium but still felt a bit heavy on my skin due to the fact that it looked kinda cakey. I'm not sure what it is but I found the chanel and lancome ones more hidrating on the skin.
The packing of the product is ok, but I think it is a bit of a standard packaging for a designer brand. Personally I prefer Bobbi Brown or Chanel packaging cuz they are a bit more compact and easy to carry in a makeup bag.
Also, it was extremely expensive for the quality of the product so I won't be repurchasing when it runs out - a lot of which I have left.

Very disappointed with this foundation! The Cover Girl 3-in-1 is wayyyy better, IMO.
I do like the packaging, the shade (second lightest matches me well, and I'm Ecru in ELDW), and the ease of application. But this is where my liking ends.
I'm combination to oily, and this foundation looks very patchy on the apples of my cheeks, which only happens with poor quality foundations. It looks horrible and I cannot camouflage the patchiness in any way.
If it wasn't for this, I'd like it. It has good coverage (medium-full), and doesn't make me oily. Wears well and gives a nice satin-matte look to my face. But it's all pointless if my cheeks look the way they do.
I will try to return, and buy my go-to foundation for daily wear, Smashbox Studio Skin 15 Hr.

This foundation gives a very lovely finish and is good for your skin. It gives little glowy, healthy finish but not greasy. Works great on my combo/dry skin. I love to use this when I have important events or when I go out at night.medium, buildable coverage. doesnt look cakey at all
Cons: the lasting power could be better.

It's been years since I last used a liquid foundation, and even back then I didn't end up using up the entire bottle.
I was getting frustrated with my powder foundation (Clinique super balanced makeup), so after hearing so many good things about it, I decided to give it a try, and I'm happy I did.
I use this after applying Guerlain's meteorites primer with a foundation brush. It spreads smoothly and blends well. However, it dries quickly too, so blending must be done quickly before the streaks set.
It gives my face a smoother look, and minimises the appearance of pores. I set this with Guerlain meteorites compact, and finish with Guerlain meteorites pearls for a healthy, luminous matte finish. The SPF 15 is a welcome benefit too.
I have normal/combination skin, and this didn't give me skin problems or breakouts.
Like most French makeup, it is a bit perfumed, but disappears right after application.
Also, this formulation has a bit of alcohol in it too, which may not sit well with some people.
This could pass off as my regular foundation, but I would like to try other brands before I decide.

At first when I received this item to be put into my kit I thought hmm not worthy! However, after a few months of it sitting in my makeup shelf graveyard I decided to give it another try since I had 6 colors to play with, I really didn't want to waste them.
I LOVE THIS FOUNDATION! I don't know if I ate something bad or was drunk or what, but this foundation is just amazing. Sheer but just enough color to keep my skin looking real while hiding the imperfections.
The light fragrance in the product is divine, I keep sniffing my fingers when I apply. It is a very clean, fresh scent similar to the way their skincare line smells.
The only drawback for me is the container. I'm sure everyone loves it because it feels very luxurious due to the container being made out of heavy glass. It is not very practical for me to carry it around in my kit. I'm sure I'll get over it though. I love the formulation too much.
I really regret not including this in my kit at first try because now I am so obsessed with it. LOVE!!!!

I love love LOVE this foundation. I don't usually use a light foundation but when I do, I reach for this one. It sets semi-matte and lasts all day long. It looks incredibly like skin. I also like that it is a pump applicator. The smell, like other high end products, smells wonderful. I love it!

I have been wearing this for a few months but I have mixed feelings about it - it is a good foundation but it sometimes feels dry. I now realise that if I am having a dry spell with my skin, this is not the foundation to go to. However, when my skin is more hydrated , this foundation feels and looks great. I got in 23 and the color is fine for me, a Bobbi Brown beige 3. Update: Aug 2013: I find myself using this less everyday. It just doesnt give me A+ results , I would reccommend going for Chanel Perfection lumiere - same price range , better results.

This review is for the new formulation from 2012 for Diorskin Nude foundation. I would call this coverage medium, and with a demi matte finish. The original formulation was definitely more dewy than the new version. By itself, it stays nice on me for about 8 hours before I start noticing patchy fading. If I need it to last longer, I set it with powder. I wear the color 010 which is a good match for me at N/NW15. It applies well with fingers, brushes and sponges, and I use all three ways depending on how heavy I want the coverage. I find that although this product has fragrance, it doesn't bother me or cause breakouts. Overall I would definitely repurchase this again, especially because it's so hard to find good matches! Expensive but worth it for me.

I was searching for a cream foundation, when the CD rep recommended this. It looked awesome on her, but I wanted to check MUA reviews. When I saw the 89% would purchase again, I knew it would be awesome. Nordstrom was out of #22, but Sephora had it. OMG, I love this stuff. I only wore it for a day, so we will see. I am praying my skin reacts favorably, it is usually very nice and clear. I will update in a few days. But so far, this stuff is great. UPDATE: This is way too drying for my over 55 skin. I used to be oily, now not so much. The search continues.

|I've had a few different brands, all older version than whats out now. Nothing was high powered. They all sounded different, some were much better at highs than others, all could do bass well enough for their power. It's nice that most amps are certified for their wattage. This means some are underated such as this new kenwood, but they should put out their rated power, which is nice now. What sucks is most amps are like batteries and made by a few folks then distributed to the companies.
|Today 08:41 AM
|I've had a Kenwood amp for my subs for probably 5 years now, and it's still sounding great. Just saying.

alright, so i found a corner with good signal.
that kenwood amp looks awesome!
thats crazy how it exceeded its "max" and all that.
i'm a big kenwood fan, so i might be a little biased..
but i say go with the kenwood...

I didn't check it out as i saw the link at work and work blocks youtube.
I will try to check it out later and let you know.
signal strength isn't strong enough in here to watch videos on my phone.
i think they have signal blockers in the building.
i hate it.

Bio-Tiles Pre-Alpha Demo v0.01Mar 31, 2012 Demo 0 comments
An early demo of BioTiles that demonstrates the gameplay concept. Somewhat buggy with many placeholder graphics and sounds.
Biotiles is an upcoming PC game that combines the strategy of a puzzler with the immersion of survival horror. Lead the resourceful survivor Aurora through a campaign to reclaim the infected city by utilizing weapons, items, and followers to manipulate the board to your advantage.
0 comments by MonokromatikLabs on May 10th, 2012
Lately I've put a lot of time into revising code and implementing proper turn-based procedural flow. I am also reworking the health and infection meters as well as other interface elements. Over the next few weeks I intend to release a polished demo of the first few stages! Most assets for this are finished already, but the first stage involves some heavily-scripted hand-holding to introduce new players to the basic mechanics. Here's a brief overview of how BioTies plays:
I am currently working on BioTiles full-time and would love to hear any suggestions, feedback, and questions you may have. Thank you for your time and for your support!

In 1973, New York nightclub CBGB opened as a venue for Country, BlueGrass and Blues acts led by music entrepreneur Hilly Kristal. However, it soon became clear that that wasn't the way the music scene was going in the city and he soon began to book new rock and punk bands - excluding all cover and tribute bands - to play regular shows there which helped raise the profile of several musical pioneers including Talking Heads, Blondie, The Ramones and the Patti Smith Group. It wasn't the easiest ride for Kristal, however, who suffered many money troubles due to his vision and ambition for the bands that he showcased, as well as much scrutiny over the general poor health and safety of the venue. Nonetheless (and despite its closure in 2006), it will always been known as the kick off point for so many 70s and 80s bands.
Randall Miller ('Nobel Son', 'Bottle Shock', 'Houseguest') directs this music drama alongside his frequent writing partner Jody Savin as it follows the highs and lows of Hilly Kristal's life and ambition to give innovative local bands a chance at success. The movie will premiere at the CBGB Festival over its October 10th-13th weekend; not far off the anniversary of its 2006 official closure.

Amy Winehouse Died of Accidental Alcohol Poisoning, Second Examination Confirms
Another U.K. test, following doubts about the original coroner's credentials, declares the singer suffered "death by misadventure."
LONDON – A fresh inquiry into the death of Amy Winehouse has agreed with the original verdict that the singer died of accidental alcohol poisoning.
The second coroner's report into Winehouse's untimely death – the Back To Black artist was just 27 when she died in July 2011 – agreed with the first, signing it off as "death by misadventure".
PHOTOS: 'Who Shot Rock & Roll': Tupac, Elvis and Amy Winehouse Take Center Stage in New Exhibit
The ruling was called for after the original coroner Suzanne Greenaway, who had said in October 2011 that the songstress had died as a result of alcohol toxicity, was found to be not legally creditialed.
Coroner Shirley Radcliffe ruled Tuesday that the soul singer "died as a result of alcohol toxicity" and recorded a verdict of death by misadventure.
She said there were no suspicious circumstances.
Radcliffe said a post-mortem examination had found that Winehouse had a blood alcohol level five times the legal driving limit, and above a level that can prove fatal, according to a Sky News report.
VIDEO: David Bowie Resurfaces with New Song and Video
Winehouse's family did not attend the fresh 45-minute inquest.
Greenaway resigned in November 2011.
The Winehouse family has called the upcoming hearing on Jan. 8 "a matter of procedure" and had not expected the original verdict to change.

In The Next 25 Years, renowned First Amendment lawyer Martin Garbus examines what will be the impact of the new Supreme Court on the future of our republic. Drawing on extensive knowledge of Constitutional law and legal precedents, Garbus, one of our most astute legal historians, defrocks the executive branch's grip over the judiciary as an extension of its own executive powers. He warns of the threat of an incoming "textualist" bench that wishes to roll back more than a century's worth of hard-won reforms. And he offers the first clear-eyed account of how the coming bench may imperil our way of life and endanger the liberties you may have thought were our inalienable rights.

I'm hoping that OpenCL programming is supported on the ATI Radeon HD 5770/80 on a Mac Pro (4,1 in my case). Anybody have direct experience?
I'm only interested in the cards as compute engines, not really as displays, so a purchase decision here depends on the answer. My code runs fine on the default Nvidia chipset (GeForce GT 120) and on the GT 330 on my Macbook Pro, but the Radeon ought to be able to hit much higher gigaflops ratings....
Anybody gotten, say, the Galaxies openCL demo code running on the Radeon cards?
- Asked by Mark M from Friday Harbor
ATI Radeon HD 5770 Graphics Upgrade Kit for Mac Pro (Mid 2010)
Product No Longer Available
2 Answers from the Community
OpenCL is supported. However, you will notice a significant performance drop between the 5770 under Mac OS X (at least, 10.6.7) vs., say, Windows or Linux. You will also notice a massive improvement over the Nvidia cards if your workload is integer-heavy vs floating point, because of the massive number of "simple" stream processors in AMD cards vs the lower number of complicated compute cores in GeForce cards.
Windows and Linux rely on the AMD/ATI drivers, which have some alignment optimizations that give about a 50% improvement in performance than the Apple-produced drivers.
You'll also find that you'll need to be more careful writing your kernels in Mac OS X vs. Windows/Linux. They tend to segfault much more easily on the Mac.
If you're looking to play with OpenCL the 5770 will do fine under OS X. You should be able to run most basic stuff. It's only when you start optimizing or going outside the basic operations that you may have problems.
I ended up using my 3,1 and 5770 upgrade for validation runs and then built two linux machines with multiple AMD 69xx cards for brute force OpenCL results.
- Answered by Art T from Oakland
This card is very recent. OpenCL SHOULD be supported. I want this too, I hope someone can tell us for sure. But I think it IS supported as far as I have read.
