You back away now from the argument that blacks should be slaves but when I critiqued you for defending the Confederacy for "defending liberty", you argued that the Forest Service could not make dumpsters that were inaccessible to the smartest of animals but not accessible to the dumbest of humans. You also said that some people have to put on leashes and that most of the slaves needed the guidance of a master. That sounds to me and to any reasonable reader as an argument for the enslavement of blacks.
if Blacks are dumber than monkeys, then yes, they should be slaves
Its not the first time I've been accused of being a Martian.;) However re: the economic thesis , the Economist discusses it here http://www.economist.com/node/14743589.
In general the idea here is that people have large families because society dictates they should. Now the role of the State in mishandling families is a part of the decline but I think the idea that most modern people want large families is flawed. Family size has been shrinking since the 19th century when the State was quite hands off, there was no female suffrage to speak of either
Psychology Today on the same topic
with a quote here about the Kin Influence Hypothesis
Without this pro-reproductive encouragement coming from family, people are less likely to have children.
Also re: robots. Here is a new berry picking robot from japan, no Ai is required for most tasks
These techs are not ready yet but but it will not be that long , 20 years or less before one can get into the car,, tell it to take you somewhere and it will, no driver or AI needed. Its not self motivated but even an autopilot on roids is more than enough to cut into driver jobs if Uber doesn't wipe out the cab business first
And yeah Roomba's aren't all that, again its an early technology. Right now Merry Maids is cheaper. You can't count on that or any other job sticking around, Heck while there are still travel planners, that is a moribund job now .
You can Google Ag Robots if you like and 100% agreed they aren't fully ready but they will get here. simply, while there will still be some demand for human low skilled labor for some time, that demand is shrinking and it might be wiser not to assume employment as part of your social model for the long term.
Now energy might run out or wars reboot society in which case after the die-back patriarchy but it might not either,
This tech is a disruption in how human societies have worked well forever but until we run out of energy, we will have to deal with the issues and we cannot assume on the old systems holding up.
we might get a Christian or maybe a Pagan revival but its equally possible, we might not and while people will probably be more inclined to religion for biological and social reasons, we may not see the impulse directed at any established religion in the West
All that said, thanks for your forbearance and the most enjoyable discussion.
Japan isn't really the West and the motivations of a nation that has just been nuked and occupied might not translate to a mature industrial; power.
Also the Leftist cleric thing may well be more related to Nationalism than Leftism . The decline of nationalism and identity has caused a lot of harm. Most of the motivation was Cultural Marxism or to use people as cogs for the machine state IMO but there was a rational reason to try and reduce global tensions in the form of the hydrogen bomb,
One slip up or uncontrolled war and all Western civilization and anyone else stupid enough to be dragged along could be obliterated.
Its a big incentive to change. And note we have come very very close on multiple occasions to this outcome. I kind of think it gave the entire industrialized world mild PTSD but I might be wrong on that
Now you still really haven't addressed the economic issue re: Europe and Japan. There is rather high unemployment and staggering underemployment. How can someone have a family on Welfare. The Telegraph shows the benefits and they are far from huge enough to raise a family on.
Thats upwards of 25% of the population or more, approaching 50% in some countries, many Greeks can't afford medicine or food hence the growth of the Golden Dawn
Now I do agree that many people who could have kids choose otherwise, I know people like this , Baby Boomers who could have had kids and were of excellent stock, they did not for family reasons (dysfunction from parents who wanted one child not three) and simple lack of interest. And note they are old enough to have been before the heavy feminism these days
Why is making this choice bad? Such people aren't inclined motivated to parent in the 1st place and trading having 1 child instead of two for a nice annual vacation and more resources applied to that one child may not suit "society" whatever the heck that is or the needs of churches or business but its not wrong. It a fair trade off and an expected perk of urban and suburban living. Its why we have cities,
Besides if people in rural areas are having more children than they'll eventually be the main group until they move to the city and I suspect will have fewer babies as they trade offs are made. Its rational and healthy not to exceed social carrying capacity.
Just to note Jim, chattel slavery makes economic sense when there is demand for labor. We have no such thing as machines do nearly every low skill job better than a human could and are beginning to do every medium and high wage job better as well.
Heck the Cotton Gin made many slaves obsolete in the 19th century. Unless you plan to basically close of the US or whichever economy and use government boots of necks to enforce inefficiency, you aren't going to have that much work for people to do.
we don't need labor and soon enough this lack of demand will affect about 2/3 or 3/4 of everybody. we will all be doing make work and junk jobs
The real solution to barbarism is to pay people to stay out of trouble with the law and maybe not to have children Its expensive but a decent incentive can even tame the high time preference high aggression crowd to some degree. Combine it with strong law enforcement and you can impose some degree of civilization.
Understand though that as long as we have computers and automation and urbanization, the overall fertility rate will decline. You aren't going to get nearly as much social pressure to have children as you might like and such pressure will only cause more trouble.
And note here every even ,marginally civilized nation has diminishing fertility. Even most Islamic ones Every single one. This is a good thing and is in fact fixed to get better if th new birth control options for men proliferate.
In simple terms, civilization is already past its carrying capacity. That capacity peaked somewhere between 1950 and 1970 and is fixed to decline for an indefinite period till either barbarism wins or the population that remains is both selected for religiosity and has economic means ion which case it will stabilize
In general, forming a paramilitary organization with nationwide coverage in the media and using bombastic language is agreat way to ensure that you will be infiltrated, that the infiltrators will provoke parts of your organization to do stupid, extreme stuff which will get you disarmed, shut down and prosecuted. The Business Protection Association of Ferguson would have done much better. Ditto the Koreans, who kept things low-key and effective.
The Business Protection Association of Ferguson is an obvious conspiracy to commit racism, and will of course be required to have diversity and say politically correct things unless stores affiliated with it want to be sued for harassment, but that will of course mean nothing when a Business Protection Association affiliated individual interacts with a Black and the media notices.
Individual store owners can own guns and maybe hire guards, but apparently, they can't really hire guards.
Meanwhile, the Jews of Crown Heights. Why didn't the media start crying about racist attacks on Blacks by Jews? It must be because all Jews look alike or maybe because Jews don't see the ability to beat people up with no consequences as power or something.
It's a conspiracy. The Jews of the NYT are obviously enamored of their medieval ghetto-dwelling cousins and protect them. So it's obviously futile to do anything and you are better off whining on this forum. One day, when the Nazis show up from Antarctica in their flying saucers, they'll pull up these threads and appoint you Chief Whiner or something.
Mr. B,
Seasons Greetings.
O/K infiltration: You are correct. And yet it moves, and yet it improves. I've stayed away from O/K because it *must* be infiltrated and even if not is entirely too public. And yet they continue to improve all the last year [from outside POV]. As Mother Jones said they cover the spectrum. They of course avoid illegality and are only committed to keeping the Oath and defending the nation, also anyone downrange so far – from them – is a trained pro with battle experience.
One must also consider war vets of the US MIL last 15 years also have experience of ROE, media witch-hunts and investigations just as our police do. O/K of course contains many LEOs. Many LEOs are veterans.
There's a spectrum of these groups but again only from outside POV this isn't the 90s bunch at all.
Also there's a lot more of them.
The 90s bunch was people both reacting to the 60s/70s madness as well as rather a lot of displaced and ruined farmers.
This is different. I don't think infiltration [certain of course] is only one way at all, and an organization devoted to Constitutional legality and self-defense isn't a right wing terrorist cell.
The Russian revolution also moved and improved despite being infiltrated (see Gapon.)
I just wasn't impressed by the rhetoric and the faces I saw in the profiles. Lots of talk.
The Talk part is true, then again it's an open organization. I did see too many talkers there…but they're improving. Also they've been delivering men all year to danger zones. Finally when you move away from the off-putting profiles into what messages the leadership is putting out it's getting near both mainstream blogging [yes, I know that's awkward metric] and into a broader and more acceptable message.
I'm not signing up for reasons that one may appreciate, but they are improving and growing. 35K isn't a small number.
They don't march to DC and take it back, but this sort of thing is growing.
And yes you can move forward despite infiltration. Although with cops being in open membership I'm not sure who is infiltrating who.
Well, G-d willing something good comes out of it.
I'm uninspired by the Constitution as their Schelling point. I mean, the Constitution is what got the US where it is today.
The part where you don't know who's infiltrating whom is the problem. That's how, for instance, Rabin ended up getting killed by "right wing extremists," who just happened to be linked to the Shin Bet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avishai_Raviv
So after his death, of course there was a massive crackdown on right wing extremists, mass renouncements by right wing public figures, and the path was clear for securing Arafat's rule in the Judah and the Shomron, the training and equipping of his men by the US and Israel, a spike in violence growing into the second intifada, and the expulsion of Jews from Gaza. The right was completely fractured and paralyzed during this time-the opportunistic component switched sides when they saw where the wind was blowing, the extreme guys (the only ones who had anything of value to offer) were marginalized, and Rabbi Kahane's son murdered by the very PLO special ops guys trained and equipped by Israel and the US: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binyamin_Ze%27ev_Kahane
All because of this murder.
So this kind of thing is very dangerous.
B, what evidence do you have that the tyrants in American government complied with the Constitution rather than defied it? And if tyranny comes from denying the Constitution, then maybe freedom comes from conformity?
1. Ruth Bader Ginsburg is on record as saying that the South African Constitution is a better model for 21st Century nations. Why?
2. Might it have something to do with the 1st and 2nd Amendments which keep the Feds from outlawing as felonies the "crimes" of hate speech (a cause dear to you guys' darkly enlightened hearts) and gun ownership?
The current regime already purports to adhere to the old constitution, with results we can all observe.
Lack of honesty is the biggest problem of the current regime, and without remedying that lack of honesty, anything done to reform it will be worse.
Are you referring to the Constitution or the Declaration? Both are evil, but one has the line with the anarchist position more stridently presented than the other…
Best regards,
Ha ha ha! Pol Pot is the fulfillment of egalitarianism? Pol Pot was no more equal to the average Cambodian under his regime than a kid and the bug he imprisoned in a jar are equal!
I think at this point I should refer to the anarchist position that state socialism is not socialism. While this assertion is arguable considering the existence of a common stock of goods from which each gets their fill (or not), it certainly isn't equal. And while the anarchist argument that state socialism is really state capitalism ignores the role of the market, it does point that the state in the Soviet model simply replaces the capitalist class as owner of the economy instead of making the people equal owners of the economy. The anarchists are certainly right that true egalitarianism would require decentralization and federalism!
I never said unlimited equality is an ideal of mine. Justice is preferable. Suppose there is a black rapist cannibal and he is enslaved or slain. I say if his guilt is proven, he deserves his fate, the same as a white man like Jeffery Dohmer. You say that he should be mistreated beforehand because blacks are savages. I say elevate or degrade based on content of character. You say his character can be determined beforehand based on the history of his race. I say it's his individual history that counts not his racial history. You disagree making you a racist while I believe in justice though not social justice (i.e. unlimited rather individually earned equality).
> it does point that the state in the Soviet model simply replaces the capitalist class as owner of the economy instead of making the people equal owners of the economy.
Why would this be a good thing?
You have one person who spent massive amounts of time learning and inventing, and who took immense personal risks and as a result creates massive positive externalities. A product everyone uses and massively benefits from.
You have another one who did the absolute minimum, whether from innate laziness or conscious choice or just incapacity.
Why should they be "equal owners of the economy"? Why should people who can't be trusted to balance a bank account or buy nutritious food for their children have any say in the economy (beyond their personal spending decisions)? Should a man driving a minivan full of children ask for their constant input on driving decisions?
If you were to somehow equalize everyone's economic power, within a month massive inequalities would re-emerge, simply because big chunks of the population would squander their economic power buying spinner rims and big speakers for their cars if nothing else.
>The anarchists are certainly right that true egalitarianism would require decentralization and federalism!
Decentralization leads to more inequality, not less. When you let people rise or fall on their own merits, some will rise very high and others will fall very low.
The problem with the Constitution is not that it says "all men were created equal"-this is such vague language, obviously true for some aspects (we all need air, food and water,) obviously false for others (we are not of equal height) that it doesn't necessarily lead to anything concretely harmful.
The problem with the Constitution is that it is a magic parchment, designed to convince people that they are ruled by a document as opposed to human beings. At first, perhaps those humans followed that document in good faith, but even then, if you are ostensibly being ruled by a document but in practice being ruled by its interpreters, there's a lie right there and one lie leads to another inexorably.
And of course the principle of popular government is stupid, because it inexorably leads to a universal franchise and a professional class of politicians telling the voters whatever they want to hear and doing whatever they want to do. And eventually creating a new voter class, one way or another.
B, like I said, I'm not in favor of unlimited equality–I believe people should keep what they earn. Where I agree with the anarchists is that *if* unlimited equality is your goal, the Pol Pot/Mao/Soviet model is retarded. (It's also retarded from a moral standpoint and to elaborate would require a whole another comment.)
Jim, allowing whites and blacks equal access to marijuana isn't such a problem if the authorities are willing to hold blacks fully accountable for any and all consequences from any abuse of the drugs. And my explanation of your position on blacks was correct–you're on record saying that blacks deserved to be slaves because they couldn't be trusted with freedom due to their animalistic nature.
B, something else occurred to me. In the United States Army, privates get paid the same as other privates just as generals get paid the same as other generals–to the point, that soldiers will consider their pay grade and their rank as synonymous. If each state became its own nation with its own army, some would pay their privates more than others would. In that sense, decentralization would promote inequality. On the other hand, the less populated states would do away with the general ranks in their armies and even highly populated states would probably have Maj. Gen. as their highest rank so the inequality between the lowest rank and the highest rank would actually decrease. So whether decentralization promotes equality or inequality depends on how you look at the organization in question.
"Hidden Author"
You are talking about this RACE problem that you say only exists in white countries…You're not actually talking about a RACE problem, you are talking about a WHITE problem and you want the Final Solution to it… You want White Genocide.
Actually I oppose the way South Africa allows the Boers to be slaughtered by criminals so I don't fit into one of the binary boxes you guys wish to stick me in.
Right, you oppose the consequences.
"I'm in favor of driving off the cliff but I strongly oppose crashing into the canyon."
So you're one of those Social Darwinists who says that somebody somewhere always has to have his face bashed in by a jackboot? How about no one has his face bashed in by a jackboot?
Oh wait, you're even worse – "if you're not in favor of driving off the cliff you're evil!"
I'm in favor of civilization.
Civilization requires different rules for different groups. You can instead have a single set of rules if you have a single group but that bridge has been burned.
Instead you propose something that's never existed before and bask in the moral purity of refusing to notice things. Good luck with that.
OK, good, you oppose the Boers being slaughtered by criminals. The fact that you believe and say that Boers are being slaughtered by criminals, and the fact that you're here associating with us haters, might get you fired under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, so I hope your authorship is hidden well from the prying eyes of gettingracistsfired.tumblr.com .
What policies would you like to see to prevent the Boers from being slaughtered by criminals?
This is basic Anarcho-Tyranny. We whites are marked for destruction.
But are promised to win.
And we need to learn from the Koreans. Not to threaten the police [if that's what happened] but to stand.
This is our country. If we can't take it back nationally, we take it block by block, town by town.
And let's give the cops a break. They're not used to us being anything but sheep, us morphing into primates is an adjustment.
You don't need to threaten the police. Just respond in kind. If they point snipers at you, point them right back. If they have brandished guns then brandish your own. Organized groups of armed people isn't anything a local cop wants to deal with especially when your not overtly hostile towards them.
Put more simply, everyone had better get their own gang. Smart people will want cops in their gang, not to be hunted by Team Police Gang. No one wants to be hunted by that gang if they've got vengeance in their eyes.
No one here stopped Michael Brown. A cop did, and his life was ruined for doing his duty. Remember that.
Jim you are right from title on.
It is however a grave and fatal error at every level to make police the enemy. I don't mean an intellectual error only, I mean real world. Try it once and see. They're entirely too well resourced and quite capable, and the person who touches them a pariah among whites.
The police are caught in the middle with anti-white orders, they are by nature followers. Convincing them to step aside is the correct answer.
Red is incorrect that most cops are cowards, most cops are followers given horrible orders to follow. And the ones giving the orders we do elect.
The police come from us, are us. They must simply be convinced that they can't continue to follow orders from treasonous criminals whilst attempting to mitigate the evil the criminals feral pets do any longer.
You could point out to the police that the defense of evil in the name of the law was always unstable, and it's time has run out. It has.
Then offer friendship, respect, alliance. They quite need allies now, they have the weight of the government and this Administration and DOJ in particular against them. Their local leadership is disgraceful, the true cowards are the quaking politicians. Make them afraid, and wisely forbear any misplaced anger towards the police. They forbear from anger daily, they risk their lives placing themselves between us and the USG's feral pets, we can give them a break.
"It is however a grave and fatal error at every level to make police the enemy. I don't mean an intellectual error only, I mean real world. Try it once and see. They're entirely too well resourced and quite capable"
I'll leave this here…
>Red is incorrect that most cops are cowards, most cops are followers given horrible orders to follow. And the ones giving the orders we do elect.
Modern Cops have a culture of cowardice where coming home no mater who they harm is their highest value. They're quite cowardly. What they did during Dorner rampage should have been enough to prove that to anyone.
However, I agree with with everyone else you said.
everything else*
"The police come from us, are us. They must simply be convinced that they can't continue to follow orders from treasonous criminals whilst attempting to mitigate the evil the criminals feral pets do any longer."
Amen, VXXC2014.
Taxi driver is more dangerous than police officer.
Jim, you're wrong about the Koreans being allowed to defend themselves. The LA riots was setup by the media as a way to drive out the Koreans out through black violence. The build up was months in the coming and the police redeployed just beyond Korea town to give the rioters space to destroy the Korean community. The Koreans spontaneously defended themselves and the media kept pleading with the police on air to stop them. In fact the mayor did in fact order the police to disarm the Koreans and the police refused. The police were quite convinced that the Koreans would shoot them if they tried and due to the number of Korean cops they would know if such an order was given ahead of time. Eventually the police were deployed in the Korean areas to prevent them from going on the offensive and putting an end to the riot. The Cathedral was surprised and shocked that the police failed to do their bidding. So it's not that Koreans are allowed to defend themselves, it's that Koreans are willing to defend themselves even against cops, which is exactly the outcome that we saw with the Bundy ranch stand off.
If this group had really been committed to protecting the community they would have let the cops know they would shoot them if they tried to arrest them. Most cops by nature are cowards and they would have backed down from organized resistance.
I guess the Cathedral has "graciously" allowed me to participate in collective defense then.
Koreans were allowed collective defense in 1992, but even then we heard whining about Latasha Harlins. Whether they're still allowed is an open question.
This is some good evidence for Henry Dampier's claim: "The police and the national guard aren't there to protect the townspeople. They're there to protect the rioters from people who would defend their property with lethal force."
I second this idea. I watched the LA riots live, the cops spent their time protecting the rioters.
B thinks if Orthodox Jews are capable of defending themselves then so are White groups. Whites will defend themselves and deport Jews to Palestine when this government falls apart or is pushed aside by Nazis. I don't care which.

= Highly Recommended
Originally given a working title of Sweet City Suite, the album tells the story of various characters one might run into in
a city. The album features the original studio versions of Chapin classics "A Better Place to Be" and "Circle." But
perhaps more importantly (as those songs are already well-distributed on compilation CDs), the album features seemingly
lost Chapin stories, including "And the Baby Never Cries," "Burning Herself," "Barefoot Boy," and "Woman Child."
Sniper is for the seasoned Chapin fan. New fans would do better to check out
Greatest Stories
Live. But for Chapin fans who have reached the level of the
Dance Band on the Titanic album, this is the next step. Slightly over-produced and having a little of the "forced"
feel that some of Harry's studio albums possess, this album does not capture the powerfully live Harry Chapin. Nonetheless,
it captures Harry's great iconoclastic songwriting--Harry takes the story song to new heights here. But the album works best
for those ready for it; don't buy it until you are ready to appreciate it!

Cinema North
2803 Brewerton Road,
2 people favorited this theater
One of several 1960's modern theatres built by Carrols Development Corp., this one in Mattydale, north of Syracuse, opened in December 1965 with Doris Day in "Do Not Disturb". The Cinema North was built just to the right of the K-Mart store in the Northern Lights shopping center.
First run engagements included the 1968 roadshow engagement of "Oliver!" and the area premiere of "The Exorcist".
The Cinema North building stood closed and neglected for years until it was demolished August 1, 2017.

I was the relief projectionist in this theatre (as well as the Genesse, the East, the Westvale, and the North and Dewitt D.I.s) for a few years in the early eighties, while a fine old gent named Gary Bender was the head, and it was a delight to work in. The booth had two Simplex E-7 projectors that Gary kept in immaculate shape, older carbon-arc lamps, mono sound and an eight-track player for non-sync music. In the room down the hall from the projection booth was a huge popcorn popper that was used by CinemaNational to pop the corn for all the theatres in town. Whenever I went upstairs, there were large garbage bags full of popped corn in the hallway. About 1981, when the 3-D film craze re-emerged for awhile, the screen was painted silver to accommodate the process. I remember I ran * Parasite, Comin' At Ya, House of Wax * and a few other 3-D pictures here. I wish I could remember the manager's name from this era, I recall that he was another fine old veteran.
CinemaNational folded and the theatre changed hands several times after I left. At the end, it was leased from Northern Lights by a local contractor named Dan (I can't remember his last name) who also leased the Genesse and the Auburn Twin and still kept them running for awhile. Eventually he wanted out, and I had a brief conversation with him about buying the business and assuming the leases, but it didn't pan out. Shortly after that the end came, the building was cleaned out, and a giant R/C slot-car track took over, which folded quickly.
Mark, I would like to contact you to learn more… Are you in LA now?
I am in NY for the foreseeable future, but you are welcome to get in touch with me. Be advised, though, that the part of my brain that holds my memories of this period has pretty much shut down for good. But I'll remember what I can for you. My e-mail is mcogdenAToptonline.net.
The Cinema North opened in December 1965 with "Do Not Disturb" with Doris Day and Rod Taylor.
It is a true testament to how cheap the Slotnicks were that they built this nice nearly 800 shopping center theatre and then put old time used E-7 projection equipment in it.
i like its exterior.
Uploaded the December 25th, 1965 grand opening ad in the photo section for this cinema.
2803 Brewerton Road is the address. Plans are in the works to demolish the theatre and build a hotel on the site.
Every web site I've seen but Cinema Treasures places the Cinema North in Mattydale, not Syracuse.
The theatre was demolished this morning at the order of the Town of Salina. http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2017/08/ex-cinema_north_theater_in_mattydale_demolished_after_sitting_vacant_for_decades.html#incart_river_home

|G.M. Goshgarian
University of Burgundy
G. M. Goshgarian has translated poetry and prose by twenty-eight modern Armenian writers into English. The most important of his translations, an English version of the first "book" of Hagop Oshagan's long novel Remnants, won a PEN Translation Award in 2009 and was released by Gomidas Press on the 130th anniversary of Oshagan's birth in December 2013; a second, revised edition appeared in February 2014 and was reissued in slightly modified form in August of the same year. Goshgarian's translation of Zabel Yessayan's In the Ruins, an account of the author's experiences with survivors of the 1909 Adana pogroms, was released by AIWA publishing early in 2016. His translations of eight other Armenian writers, including Abovian, K. Zarian, and Varoujan, have appeared in an appendix to Marc Nichanian's Mourning Philology (Fordham University Press, 2014). Among his earlier translations from Armenian are selections from Kurken Mahari's novel Burning Gardens in Nichanian's Writers of Disaster; poems by K. Beledian, G. Emin and V. Grigorian, included in Deviation: Anthology of Contemporary Armenian Literature; and an essay on Artsakh/Karabagh by Vahe Oshagan, available in A. Oshagan [[1]] and V. Oshagan, Father Land.
Goshgarian has also published translations of twenty-five books and a number of essays from French and German, including work by Janine Altounian, Sévane Garibian, Raymond Kévorkian, Marc Nichanian, Vahé Tachjian, Gilbert Achcar, Louis Althusser, Étienne Balibar, Esther Benbassa, Jacques Derrida, Gérard Genette, Boris Groys, and Hans-Jörg Rheinberger. His edition of Louis Althusser's previously unpublished Initiation à la philosophie pour les non-philosophes was released in 2014 by the Presses universitaires de France, which published his edition of Althusser's Être marxiste en philosophie in March 2015. He has written long introductions to two collections of Althusser's work in English, The Humanist Controversy (London, Verso, 2003) and Philosophy of the Encounter (Verso, 2006), co-edited an Althusser issue of "diacritics", and given an interview on Althusser to the on-line journal Période. His review article on the Turkish journalist Ece Temelkuran's Deep Mountain: Across the Turkish-Armenian Divide (Verso, 2010) may be found in the Winter 2011 issue of the on-line journal New Politics.

With "ciao" meaning both hello and goodbye, it's the perfect title for this post. First of all, hello! It's been a while! My summer has been pretty exciting, filled with tons and tons of travel. Likely excuse, I know. But, but, but, I've also been super busy working on a new business venture. It seems that writing this blog has led me to discover what I actually want to do with my life, but more on that later! I'd like to thank everyone for your kind emails, tweets, and blog shout-outs during my hiatus. I sincerely hope that your summers have been full of excitement and exploration too!
Second of all, goodbye! Yup, I'm leaving on a jet plane...again. Thomas and I are packing up and heading to Italy for our 5th anniversary. These have been the absolute BEST years of our lives, and what better place to celebrate than in paradiso Italiano? If anyone has recommendations for Venice or Lake Como, don't be shy and let me know! Hey, that rhymes! I hope to return teeming with fun stories, scenic pictures, and of course, new recipes! Ciao for now!

Some people are never grateful. Despite being saved from Kor and the attacking Metal Heads in Jak II, Haven City is still immersed in deadly chaos as three groups fight for control of the streets and Jak is getting the blame.
Mistrust of Jak's dark powers, rumours of an alliance with Kor and an attack on the city all conspire to have our hero banished to the desolate Wasteland. This is where Jak 3 begins, and it's up to you to put things right.
The Wasteland is a harsh environment that's an amazing five times the size of Haven City, including diverse, challenging areas for Jak to negotiate such as mines and a deadly volcano. For Jak to succeed in his missions you'll need to master different game styles incorporating driving, adventure, action-platform, puzzles, strategy and exploration skills.
Vehicles play a large role in the game, as through the course of their adventure Jak and his trusty wisecracking sidekick Daxter will discover a variety of transport.
You'll also get to grips with a greater degree of character complexity. In addition to controlling Daxter at several points during the game, you can use Jak's new Light powers as a result of him being exposed to Light Eco - including a new move that allows Jak to glide with the addition of large angelic wings.
Don't panic though, this doesn't mean Jak's suddenly become a goody two-shoes. His Dark powers also return, so you'll need to find a balance between Light and Dark - not to mention fire off all of his weapons from Jak II, which have received a new set of devastating upgrades.
Jak 3 is the most challenging, exciting adventure that Jak and Daxter have ever faced - and with his new powers, not to mention the Titan Suit and Jetboard, they can succeed and clear Jak's name. They just need your help...
See it in action

A Romney campaign Iowa adviser today declared the culture wars over – the right-wing lost.
Speaking on a local Iowa political show, Romney 2012 Iowa adviser Dave Kochel told host Dave Price that,
"frankly, the culture wars are kind of over and Republicans largely lost." (Video below.)
Kochel uses the explanation a number of commentators are now relying on, the "demographic shift." Namely, younger voters are pro-gay, pro-choice (and pro-environment), and don't care about the culture war issues. I'd argue that it goes even further than that: Young people care quite a lot about gay rights and women's right and the environment, and they agree with Democrats on the issues.
Kochel went on to explain that he talks to his kids, one of whom is in college, and gay marriage and abortion and birth control are "settled issues for younger voters."
Interestingly, President Obama said something similar about his kids when he came out in favor of gay marriage in mid 2012:
"It's interesting, some of this is also generational," the president continued. "You know when I go to college campuses, sometimes I talk to college Republicans who think that I have terrible policies on the economy, on foreign policy, but are very clear that when it comes to same sex equality or, you know, sexual orientation that they believe in equality. They are much more comfortable with it. You know, Malia and Sasha, they have friends whose parents are same-sex couples. There have been times where Michelle and I have been sitting around the dinner table and we're talking about their friends and their parents and Malia and Sasha, it wouldn't dawn on them that somehow their friends' parents would be treated differently. It doesn't make sense to them and frankly, that's the kind of thing that prompts a change in perspective."
A little more on the importance of youth and that "demographic shift." From a post we did in 2011 about Virginians' attitudes on gay marriage, note the support for gay marriage among those aged 18 to 29:
The survey shows that nearly three-quarters of those ages 18 to 29 say gays should be able to legally wed. Only 22 percent of those ages 65 and older agree. Between the ages of 30 and 65, residents are split, with 44 percent saying same-sex marriage should be legal and 43 percent saying it should illegal.
That's a huge shift in opinion, and the numbers show that for young people, the debate is over.
Former Romney adviser Kochel continued: "If we're the party of freedom and liberty, then we should be for personal freedom and individual liberty — and that extends to marriage."
Kochel goes on to note something quite interesting – that a number of his Republican friends in Iowa want these issue to just to go away all together:
"You also hear a lot of conversation off the record, people talking about how they'd like to move on past some of these old fights we've been having and can't talk about it."
Keep in mind, these aren't just Republicans – they're Iowa Republicans. This isn't liberal Massachusetts. It's the heart of the Midwest. And Kochel isn't just talking about gay rights, he specifically mentioned abortion and birth control as well.
The article also notes that former Republican party chair Ken Mehlman is coming out to Iowa to appear at a Republican event in favor of gay marriage.
The battles aren't over. But the war is. And we won.

Aware of trade rumors, Garza sticking to business
DENVER -- Matt Garza is one of the most coveted names on this year's trade market. And he is still waiting.
Garza, the right-handed Cubs starter, is well aware he's at the heart of trade rumors, but he is waiting for the "could" to turn into an official deal.
"When [the phone] rings, then it will be real," Garza said before Friday's series opener against the Rockies. "Right now it's just rumors. It is what it is; you just keep going about your business."
While the Rangers are rumored to be the frontrunners to land the pitcher widely considered one of the top arms ahead of the non-waiver Trade Deadline, the Dodgers, Indians and Blue Jays are also rumored to be in the market for Garza. The right-hander is in the mist of a career year, boasting a 3.17 ERA, 6-1 record and 62 strikeouts in 11 stars.
Garza also said his agent was told a deal could happen, but this is not the first time Garza has been the subject of trade rumors. The Cubs were looking to trade him before a right elbow injury ended any potential for a deadline deal, and he has been traded twice in his career -- first from the Twins to the Rays following his 2007 season, then to the Cubs in 2011.
"Last year, they told me something could happen, and the year before that something could and did happen," he said, adding that his "entire career's always been a lot of 'coulds.'"
Cubs manager Dale Sveum has taken a similar approach and said he has not made any plans for who may start in place of Garza should Garza no longer be with the Cubs before his next scheduled start Monday.
"Obviously there's nothing going on that I know of or I'm aware of," Sveum said. "So it's a lot of rumors and all that right now. That's what most trades are anyway; they end up being nothing to them anyway.
"We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. But we're not worried about it right now."
That experience makes Garza hesitant to believe he will be out of a Cubs uniform in the next week until the pen hits the paper. For now, the waiting game continues.
"I'm just going to keep going until a 'could' turns into a 'does,' and I'll keep doing what I do," Garza said. "Just kind of stick with a nice time-old saying from Finding Nemo: 'Just keep swimming guys,' that's it."

Urge Senate to Vote on IRA Rollover
August, 14, 2014
Ask your Senators to take action in September to support charitable giving incentives. Nearly one month ago, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the America Gives More Act (H.R. 4719), a set of five charitable giving provisions that includes permanent reinstatement of the IRA Charitable Rollover. This giving incentive has been proven to boost the impact of nonprofit organizations in communities nationwide by permitting donors aged 70-1/2 and older to make tax-free charitable gifts directly from their retirement accounts.
While Senators are home in their states this month, please urge them in person and in writing to take up permanent reinstatement of the IRA Rollover when they reconvene in September. Helpful resources to share with your Senators include:
·A letter signed by over 850 organizations in July that articulates the need for permanent reinstatement of the charitable tax extenders
·A profile of the community and economic impact of the nonprofit sector in your state
·The League's orchestra-specific issue brief on the IRA Charitable Rollover
Orchestras across the country weighed in to help secure House passage of H.R.4719 – it's now time to turn attention to the Senate. There is a small but critical window of time for the Senate to act on the House-passed bill and they need to hear from their constituents how important and pressing the needs of the community are.
Tell your Senators to take up permanent reinstatement of the IRA Rollover!

| 6.5°C Belfast
The number of Romanians and Bulgarians employed in Britain between April and June rose nearly 10% compared with the previous three months, official figures have revealed.
A total of 153,000 Romanians and Bulgarians were employed in the UK in the quarter , some three months after access restrictions to the labour market for the two countries were lifted, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
This is an increase of 13,000 when compared with the 140,000 in the previous three months, from January to March, and an increase of 9,000 when compared with the last three months of 2013.
Restrictions to the labour market were lifted for Romanians and Bulgarians on January 1, prompting warnings of a looming surge of immigration from the two countries.
The previous batch of data appeared to suggest the predicted surge in Romanians and Bulgarians arriving in Britain had not transpired as the numbers actually dipped over the turn of the year by 4,000 workers.
A range of polarised reports emerged in the run-up to the lifting of controls, including a predicted surge in pickpocketing, muggings, beggars on the streets and rioting.
Other reports suggested citizens from the two Eastern European countries will attempt to sell their babies when they arrive in Britain.
And claims of fully-booked flights and coaches from Bucharest and Sofia at the turn of the year were incorrect and retracted.
The Home Affairs Select Committee earlier this year blasted the Government for failing to commission estimates of the numbers of Romanians and Bulgarians who would come to Britain after controls were lifted.
In a damning report, the committee said the Government's decision not to obtain official estimates played into the hands of those who ''wish to inflame tensions about immigration for political gain''.
Prime Minister David Cameron rushed through new measures at the end of last year to ensure EU migrants will be unable to claim out-of-work benefits for their first three months in the UK.
In addition, those found begging or sleeping rough could be deported and barred from re-entry for 12 months unless they can show they have a proper reason to be in the UK, such as holding a job.
Other proposals previously announced in the Government's flagship Immigration Act will see migrant access to the NHS restricted, while landlords, employers, bankers and DVLA staff will all be expected to take part in checks for illegal immigrants under tough reforms.
Commenting on the increase of Romanian and Bulgarian workers, Sir Andrew Green, chairman of Migration Watch UK, said: "Once dependants are factored in it is likely that the increase in population over the whole year 2014 will be between 30,000 and 70,000 as we predicted.
"Our central estimate of 50,000 remains a very likely outcome."

Baptized a Catholic, Adolf Hitler (1889–1945) was born on April 20, 1889, in the Upper Austrian border town Braunau am Inn, located approximately 65 miles east of Munich and nearly 30 miles north of Salzburg.
His father, Alois Hitler (1837–1903), was a mid-level customs official. Born out of wedlock to Maria Anna Schickelgruber in 1837, Alois Schickelgruber changed his name in 1876 to Hitler, the Christian name of the man who married his mother five years after his birth. Alois Hitler's illegitimacy would cause speculation as early as the 1920s—and still present in popular culture today—that Hitler's grandfather was Jewish. Credible evidence to support the notion of Hitler's Jewish descent has never turned up. The two most likely candidates to have been Hitler's grandfather are the man who married his grandmother and that man's brother.
In 1898, the Hitler family moved to Linz, the capital of Upper Austria. Seeking a career in the visual arts, Hitler fought bitterly with his father, who wanted him to enter the Habsburg civil service. After his father's death, Hitler eventually persuaded his mother, Klara Hitler, born Pölzl, to permit him to pursue his dream to become an artist. As she lay dying of breast cancer in the autumn of 1907, Hitler took the entrance exam to the Vienna Academy of the Arts and failed to gain acceptance. In early 1908, some weeks after Klara's death in December 1907, Hitler moved to Vienna, ostensibly in the hope of renewing efforts to win acceptance in the Academy of Arts.
Hitler lived in Vienna between February 1908 and May 1913. He had grown up in a middle-class family, with relatively few contacts with Jewish people, in a region of the Habsburg state in which many German nationalists had been disappointed that the German Empire founded in 1871 had not included the German-speaking regions of the Habsburg Monarchy. Yet the legacy of the Vienna years is not as clear as Hitler depicted it in his political autobiography. His impoverishment and residence in homeless shelters began only a year after his arrival and after he had frittered away a generous inheritance left by his parents and rejected all arguments of surviving relatives and family friends that he embark upon a career in the civil service.
By the end of 1909, Hitler knew real poverty as his sources of income dried up. That winter, however, helped briefly by a last gift from his aunt, he began to paint watercolor scenes of Vienna for a business partner and made enough to live on until he departed for Munich in 1913. It is likely that Hitler experienced and possible that he shared the general antisemitism common among middle-class German nationalists. Nevertheless, he had personal and business relationships with Jews in Vienna and was, at times, dependent in part on Jews for his living. This may have been a cause for discretion about his actual feelings about Jews. It was not until after World War I that Hitler can be demonstrated to have adopted an "antisemitic" ideology.
Hitler was genuinely influenced in Vienna by two political movements. The first was the German racist nationalism propagated by the Upper Austrian Pan-German politician Georg von Schönerer
. The second key influence was that of Karl Lueger , Mayor of Vienna from 1897 to his death in 1910. Georg von Schönerer died age 79 on 14-08-1921 and Karl Lueger died age 65 on 10-03-1910 in Vienna.
Still in power when Hitler arrived in Vienna, Lueger promoted an antisemitism that was more practical and organizational than ideological. Nevertheless, it reinforced anti-Jewish stereotypes and cast Jews as enemies of the German middle and lower classes. Finally, unlike Schönerer, who was always more comfortable with the elitist nationalism of the student fraternities, Lueger was comfortable with big city crowds and knew how to channel their protest into political gain. Hitler drew his ideology in large part from Schönerer, but his strategy and tactics from Lueger.
Hitler joined the Army in August 1914, age 25.

CARSON, Calif. — The Major League Soccer Disciplinary Committe weighed in Tuesday on an incident in the LA Galaxy's loss last weekend at Real Salt Lake involving the LA midfielder Marcelo Sarvas and RSL's Ned Grabavoy, fining Grabavoy for simulation after he took a dive in the waning seconds of the match.
But even that decision doesn't change a uniquely frustrating situation for Sarvas, who picked up his fifth yellow card this season on the play and must sit out next week's showdown at home with the Portland Timbers. MLS and the Professional Referee Organization (PRO) have a mechanism to review and rescind red cards, but there is no approved process to deal with errant yellows, even though the committe ruled there was no contact on the play,
And so Sarvas, arguably the Galaxy's MVP through their first 14 games, will miss one of the biggest matches of the season so far.
"That's a rules issue right now," head coach Bruce Arena said after the Galaxy's training session Wednesday morning. "It's a perfect example how they have to get that corrected. ... It will have to be done next year, I guess."

The incident occurred in the 91st minute of RSL's 3-1 victory, with Sarvas matching Grabavoy step-for-step along the left sideline near midfield. Grabavoy fell to the ground in a heap, and referee Drew Fischer cautioned Sarvas.
"There's nothing that I can do," Sarvas said Wednesday. "I think if we're going to say something, we have to say about the referee, because this happens all the time, simulation in the games. I think it's about interpretation and a little bit feeling, because it was like 90 minutes; there's no reason to give a card in that circumstance.
"First when [Fischer] came, I told him, 'Look, it's no foul.' And then he came and put his hand in the pocket to give me yellow card. I said, 'Don't do this, because it's my fifth yellow card, you're going to make two mistakes.' But he didn't listen, he didn't care. There's nothing I can do now."
Said Galaxy associate head coach Dave Sarachan: "Maybe there should be some addendum to a fifth yellow in a moment of embellishment, maybe alleviate the suspension. Maybe that's something for review."

Arena said the Galaxy had no issues with how things played out, that "in this league, if you worry about the officiating, you'll drive yourself crazy."
"It's a mistake, and that's life ...," Arena said. "Hopefully, these young officials are getting better. That's the goal."

It's nice to see that there's life left in this rebellion. And now the French and Spanish blunder in... Do the Americans still hold any ports where the French can land?
Altaris wrote:Quick update. We're up to August 1779. French took Savannah, GA and Wilmington, NC but have not pushed any further inland. Clinton and Burgoyne made a strong stand against Washington and the Continental Army at Boston, and Sir Grey is arriving with reinforcements to chase off Washington's army in New England. A Spanish force landed at St. Augustine but was obliterated by the garrison there (British only lost 24 men to roughly 1500 Spanish). We're almost exactly at the halfway mark of the campaign, and the last few turns have been good for the British. We'll see if our luck holds up through 1780, if so it may prove enough to bring the French and the Continentals to the negotiation table (notice I am calling them Continentals now... the Crown acknowledges some concessions will likely need to be made to bring this conflict to an end now ).
Stuyvesant wrote:Cool! Sounds like an unexpectedly fun situation (unexpected in that I really thought it was all over after Pittsburgh, fun in that the two of you seem to be enjoying these extra innings).
Feel like I should make a comment about my hometown suffering under French occupation, but I can't quite find the right tone.

The first few days of July have also been marked by intermittent rains and flash flooding. While many of us are eagerly awaiting the return of sunny days, the rains are a fitting way to usher in Watershed Awareness Month.Freshwater is essential to life and healthy watersheds protect freshwater resources. Simply put, a watershed is an area of land that drains into a body of water, such as a lake or stream. About half the water that rained on our picnics and baseball games is making its steady journey downward through the watershed, where it will slowly recharge groundwater and flow into lakes, streams, the Hudson River - and beyond.At the Cary Institute, our staff has been investigating the ecology of watersheds for more than 25 years. Field sites range from the shorelines of the Hudson River to the streets of urban Baltimore. One thread is constant among the various human activities that have profoundly altered the way watersheds function, often to the detriment of freshwater quality and biological health.Below are three essentials about watersheds, with some suggested methods of reducing your watershed footprint. We all have a lot to gain by treading a little lighter on nature.1. What you do in your watershed affects life downstream.Because water flows downhill, activities that take place in our homes, yards and businesses can influence the water quality of groundwater, wetlands, nearby streams and, ultimately, the Hudson River. Even seemingly benign day-to-day activities such as lawn maintenance can have a big impact. Chemicals that are transported in our fresh waters include road salt, pesticides, fertilizers and pharmaceuticals.Lighten the pollution load. Go easy on fertilizers and pesticides and don't dump used motor oil or other unwanted substances onto the ground - unless you want to drink them later. Help prevent pharmaceutical pollution by avoiding the urge to flush unused drugs. Opt for drug take-back programs instead. This keeps chemicals out of our freshwater systems, where they affect aquatic wildlife.2. Development changes the way watersheds receive and deliver water.Human development has covered many landscapes with what scientists call "impervious surface." This term refers to the replacement of permeable surfaces, such as fields and forests, with solid surfaces that do not absorb water.Think about roadways, parking lots and rooftops; during rain events these areas divert water into fast-running channels, increasing flooding. Less water percolates into soils, where it can help recharge groundwater supplies.Pollutants such as motor oil sitting on the surface of roadways are swept into adjacent wetlands and water bodies. And fast moving runoff causes streams to fill with excess sediment, leading to the loss of stream bed habitat critical for animals such as juvenile fish, insects and mussels.Smart building practices can help maintain the integrity of watersheds. These include not building in sensitive areas such as flood plains, minimizing impervious surfaces and incorporating design elements that capture and retain water. When water soaks into the ground, pollutants can be filtered out and water volume is tempered, leaving us less prone to flooding.Consider capturing runoff from roofs and driveways by planting a sunken rain garden. Here rain water can permeate the ground, replenishing groundwater and minimizing flooding downstream. Native wetland plants are recommended; when planted properly, rain gardens can serve as wildlife habitat.Rain barrels can also minimize reliance on groundwater for home landscaping. Opt for fully enclosed models that are equipped with screens to prevent mosquitoes from breeding. (These are available at most home improvement and garden centers.)3. Wetlands are a critical part of watersheds.Wetlands provide a myriad of important services, from filtering water pollutants and trapping sediments to abating storm water surges. They also serve as critical breeding habitat for amphibians, fish, and waterfowl.For far too long humans have treated wetlands, such as the New Jersey Meadowlands, as dumping grounds. Thankfully, the "drain and fill" mentality of the 1950s and 1960s has waned and the public's understanding of wetlands is increasing.Far from being dank places that harbor illness, not only do healthy wetlands protect drinking water supplies, they also reduce the transmission of infectious diseases. This is because these biologically rich sites are home to an array of insects and animals. Numerous studies led by Cary Institute researchers have shown when biodiversity is high, humans are less likely to contract diseases such as West Nile Virus and Lyme disease.If you have a wetland on your property, enjoy it. No matter how small, it is serving an important ecological role in your neighborhood. Keep your lawn away from its edges (at least 20 feet is ideal), allow native plants to flourish, and reap the rewards of wildlife visitors. Share:

Lady Vols seek redemption against No. 1 Stanford
Tennessee believes it isn't far from the nation's top women's teams and that it will be just a matter of time before the Lady Vols close the gap.
''We're not there yet,'' Tennessee coach Holly Warlick said. ''We're going to get there.''
The Lady Vols quickly get another chance to show how long it might take. Just four days after losing 76-53 at No. 3 Baylor, the 10th-ranked Lady Vols (7-2) return home Saturday to face No. 1 Stanford (10-0).
Tennessee seeks its first home victory over a top-ranked team since beating Louisiana Tech 77-72 on Jan. 22, 1996. Although Tennessee's record versus No. 1 teams is 6-6 on the road and 6-15 at neutral sites, the Lady Vols have won just two of their 12 all-time home games against top-ranked foes.
The Lady Vols must avoid the slow start that doomed them against Baylor.
Baylor raced to a 17-0 advantage Tuesday and led 41-16 at the intermission, the Lady Vols' largest halftime deficit in school history. Tennessee never had a chance against the defending national champions.
''That gave us a face-to-face confrontation with where we've got to get to and how we've got to close the gap,'' assistant coach Dean Lockwood said. ''There's a clear gap between our two teams. ... We went face to face with a real dragon. Now we see where we've got to go to slay it.''
Now comes an equally tough challenge.
Stanford defeated Baylor 71-69 on Nov. 16 at the Rainbow Wahine Classic and is coming off a 53-49 victory Wednesday at No. 21 South Carolina. After allowing Baylor's Brittney Griner and Brooklyn Pope to record double-doubles this week, Tennessee must face 6-foot-3 Stanford junior Chiney Ogwumike, who averages 21.9 points and 12.2 rebounds per game.
Tennessee's frontcourt could get a boost from the return of center Isabelle Harrison, who has 10 points and 7.5 rebounds per game. Harrison missed the Baylor game with a sprained ankle, but Warlick said she was ''very, very optimistic'' the 6-3 sophomore would play against Stanford.
The Lady Vols would rather see the Baylor and Stanford games spread out on the schedule. They instead get back-to-back tests against a pair of Final Four contenders.
''I wouldn't prefer it this way, but we've just got to do what we've got to do,'' freshman forward Bashaara Graves said.
Tennessee's chances of winning depend on whether it can avoid the mistakes that sealed its fate against Baylor.
Although the Lady Vols headed into Baylor with a seven-game winning streak that included four victories over Top 25 opponents, none of those teams was ranked higher than 18th. Facing a top-10 team for the first time, the Lady Vols missed their first 11 shots and didn't score until the game was almost seven minutes old.
Tennessee's youth was apparent. Reserve guard Kamiko Williams, one of only two seniors on the roster, shot 7-of-13 and had 15 points, 10 rebounds, six assists and no turnovers. The rest of the team shot a combined 15-of-62 with one assist and 13 turnovers.
''We were trying to do a lot of one-on-one and shooting a lot of jump shots,'' Graves said. ''We weren't taking it to the hole and doing what we need to do.''
Although the Lady Vols shot just 29.3 percent against Baylor, Warlick has spent the last couple of days emphasizing defense and rebounding more than anything else.
''We let our offense affect our defense,'' Warlick said. ''As we shot the ball poorly, our defense was non-existent and we didn't rebound the basketball. This program is built on defense and rebounding. We did not do those things that have gotten us where we are right now.''
Tennessee is taking comfort in the fact that it played better late in the Baylor game and actually outscored the Lady Bears 37-35 in the second half. Stanford's close call against South Carolina also gives the Lady Vols reason for hope.
''It's just a chance for us to get a better taste in our mouth (after) Baylor,'' Warlick said. ''To compete and play at a level we need to play in front of our fans would be tremendous.''
