The Supreme Court's Citizens United decision "will warp our democracy forever," says de Blasio, "if we let it do so." The challenge to progressives is to refocus and re-energize grassroots attention on the destructive role money plays in politics.
The challenges facing progressives of late are many, but so are the avenues through which they can be tackled. New York City Public Advocate Bill De Blasio stopped by The Nation's offices July 15 to explain some of the ways these challenges can be turned into opportunities for progressives. The left, de Blasio says, must refocus and re-energize attention around corporate money in politics and the Supreme Court's decision in the Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission case. "That decision will warp our democracy forever if we let it do so. It's such a horrible, beautifully written decision that it leaves us very few courses of action." he said. "We have to demand a recalibration of our approach, and the only way that happens is through the grassroots." Listen to De Blasio's discussion of the tools we have at our disposal in this insightful Nation Conversation.

The silence of Järvenpää was not absolute. Although Sibelius wrote no major works between 1927 and his death thirty years later, he did produce some music. One of the last creative tasks he completed was the 1948 orchestration for strings and harp of Ett Ensamt Skidspår (Lonely Ski-Trail) which was originally written for piano and narrator in 1924.
Ett Ensamt Skidspår was first recorded in 1993 by the Ostrobothnian Chamber Orchestra conducted by Juha Kangas for the Finlandia label. My copy of the original CD, which was released in 1996, is seen above. The Finlandia release of Works for String Orchestra by Sibelius has now transferred to Warner's budget Apex label in different packaging, and it is quite a bargain. As well as Lonely Ski-Trail there is another Sibelius premiere recording on the disc, Grevinnans konterfej (The Countess's Portrait). The programme also includes Rakastava, Andante Festivo, and other more familiar works.
The Finnish narrations on the two short first recordings should not put purchasers off. They are more an additional instrumental line than a vocal intrusion. All the performances are truly authentic, and the sound engineered by Bertil Alving in Kaustinen Church, northern Finland, has a bloom that is missing from most studio acoustics. One very minor gripe; the narrations for the two premieres were over-dubbed a year later in Finnvox Studios, Helsinki rather than being recorded in the same ambience.
But let's be quite clear. If this disc contained mainstream repertoire it would be a strong recommendation. Those two Sibelius premieres make it unmissable. In the current economic climate of 'here today, credit-crunched tomorrow' it is best to snap it up today. Because the excellent Finnish Music Information website is predicting a new silence of Järvenpää.
The first Finlandia albums came out in 1979 and the company’s original raison d’etre was to concentrate on old and new local music. But in the 1990’s the label began releasing works by non-Finnish composers as well. Finlandia has released landmark recordings by composers such as Joonas Kokkonen, Aulis Sallinen, Magnus Lindberg, and of course, Jean Sibelius. As part of the Warner/Bros, the future of the label remains to be seen: the activities have stopped in Finland, and the headquarters are in Stockholm. The promotion of Warner-Finlandia classical catalogue and releases is non-existent in Finland, and seems to operate mainly abroad. It seems the history of the legendary Finlandia is about to vanish from the map of the Finnish recording companies.
The Finns are also smart with technology. Read how an internet archive combines contemporary music with new technology.
The reader reviews on Amazon are priceless. I notice that a review for that CD on amazon.co.uk makes the very perceptive observation 'You may or may not like this CD'.
'That was the final movement which concludes William Walton's First Symphony'.

This blog entry about the events of Saturday, November 20, 2004 was originally posted on November 23, 2004.
Paul agreed with me and said that there’s nothing out there that says a little village can’t evolve into something bigger.
We were on our way to Siam Square, the downtown area named after the Kingdom of Thailand’s former name, before the political decision in the 20th century to unify all country folk under the “Thai” label, which actually refers to the majority Tai-Kadai people. I was feeling a bit rough after the night before — Carol told me I had a “Changover” because we had cheap Chang beer — and for Paul and I it was to be a day to just chill out and recover in the air-conditioned environment of a shopping mall instead of joining Carol and Neil at the popular, but crowded and sweaty outdoor weekend markets outside of town.
“Sunday. A day of rest,” Paul said.
Alongside more real Thai people and a handful of foreign-looking people, Paul and I had lunch at The Pizza Company, where we went not for its “Extreme Pizza” but for other items on the menu we hadn’t had in a while: chicken wings and salad from the all-you-can-eat salad bar. “Oh, this is good,” Paul the balanced-diet guru said. “We’re eating like kings.” The food filled us up until we walked on the covered walkway to the other big mall next door, Siam Discovery Center, a more upscale (and “metro”) mall with art galleries and an Apple store. Paul browsed for a new VAIO laptop until we went up to the top floor to go to the movies.
IF THERE’S ANY ONE NOTABLE DIFFERENCE between the Western mall cinema-going experience and the one in Thailand, it’s the option of VIP Class for a couple of bucks more. “Gold Class Suite” service included heated, reclining massage chairs (the kind most people see at The Sharper Image or Brookstone and sit in but don’t buy), socks, a pillow and blanket, and complimentary drinks and a few sweets, brought over by waiter service. Basically, it was like paying to be in First Class on a plane without going anywhere.
“What should we see?” I asked. The three films playing in VIP class were Ladder 49, Taxi, and After The Sunset.
“Which one is longer?” Paul joked.
It really didn’t matter what we saw — we just wanted to get the VIP treatment that we had heard so much about — and just got tickets for the next film up, Ladder 49. The firefighter drama starring Joaquin Phoenix and John Travolta was pretty mediocre, but I especially enjoyed the part when the massaging vibrating nodes in my chair did this fast-trickling thing down my back. “We’re really living like kings,” Paul reiterated.
Watching the movie, which takes place in Baltimore, USA, was a nice look into life in my homeland, but before all that we were hit with a big dose of Thai propaganda. Right before the film started, the screen requested that everybody pay respects to His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej. Everyone in the audience stood up like Americans pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America at a baseball game, and watched a montage of the King and all his accomplishments to the country. Thailand’s people over the years have generally liked their monarch (even though they went democratic in the early 1990s) — Thailand proudly brags that it is the only country in southeast Asia that had never been colonized.
PAUL AND I COULDN’T GET THE IMAGE of The Pizza Company’s “Extreme Pizza” out of our minds, so we went back for dinner to dine on pizza so extreme that the crust was filled with sausage, cheese and bacon. Tata Young’s “Dhoom Dhoom,” was still playing, followed by the American standards of Britney and Beyoncé. Afterwards, we took a tuk-tuk (auto-rickshaw) back to Khaosan Road. Later that night we watched a bootleg of Team America World Police, shown in one of the restaurants nearby.
At the end of the day, it was a pretty plain but relaxing day whether you are a real Thai or a fake one.
hey, I am first! seems like I’ve been bitten by the I-am-first bug.
how did you like Team America? I so want to watch it.
The walk down memory “mall corridor” continues!
I agree with Paul. What is the “real” Thai experience anyway.
Just because you’re not squatting trying to drop the kids off at the hole in the ground while being pestered by farm animals and fire ants doesn’t mean that your not getting a “real” Thai experience.
Remember standing up for the national anthem before the movie started??!! I think I even remember when people smoked at the movies. I want my theatre to install some of those massage chairs darnit!
poor choice of movie!!! should have seend After the Sunset for the obvious reason of Salma Hayek!!!!
Nice relaxing day! My living room sounds less comfortable than that theatre!
Erik, I received your post card yesterday! Thanks, it was great to get the Everest card, as I just finished watching the Canadian Discovery Channel’s Ulitimate Survival: Everest Expedition!
AARON: The “Rent” parody was HILARIOUS!
MARKYT: I had no idea what either movie was, we just went for the one starting in ten minutes.
If for some reason I can’t post another entry up in the next 24 hours, HAPPY THANKSGIVING AMERICA!
HAPPY THANKGIVING to you, erik!!! go have some turkey. and i am thankful for your blog to keep us at eSchool entertained while we sit in windowless cubes. thanx!
I got my Nepal postcard too! Thanks!
Did you stand up for a 7th inning stretch in the movie theater? ha ha. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Erik - Americans didn’t stand up and sing the national anthem at the theatre? Like 20 years ago? At the beginning of every movie there used to be the national anthem (you just stood, only the rare person sang) with a movie showing cool places in, and scenes of, Canada.
Sporting events are really the only times we do anthems, right?
Okay, that was a SUPER blonde comment from me… HA!
That pizza looks like it had hotdog in it. eww. But they say any pizza is good pizza.

He's the Australian fashion designer who made his foray into property developing in 2015.
And Alex Perry has recently added another investment apartment to his growing portfolio.
The stylish 54-year-old secured a trendy Darlinghurst apartment for $1.7 million in September, according to Domain.
The publication claimed he and wife Mary purchased the two-bedroom Dominion abode through Ray White's CBD's Michael Lowdon.
As an investment property, it's believed the couple have already found happy tenants and are renting the apartment for $1050 a week.
Its enviable inner-city location is only 750m away from Sydney's iconic Hyde Park and comes with one secure car park.
Featuring high ceilings, the space appears welcoming with open-plan living and kitchen areas and a generous-sized living room.
The lounge also extends effortlessly to a balcony, which has 'whisper quiet courtyard views'.
Miele appliances and stone benchtops give the new kitchen a modern feel.
The apartment has been completely refurbished, with new carpets and paint for its new owners.
Each of the two large bedrooms have built-in wardrobes, with the master having an en-suite.
Intercom access, aircon, a separate laundry and the ability to own pets set the home apart from others on the market.
Not only does Alex have a keen eye for investment properties, but he has also designed his own apartment complex in Brisbane.
The 12-storey Alex Perry Residential apartments in Fortitude Valley opened in 2015.
The project has 143 apartments, consisting of 44 two-bedroom stock with the balance a mixture of studio, one-bedroom and one-bedroom plus study.

A small antelope with a red-brick colouration that lives in pairs on a defended territory. However, they rarely associate with one another. They prefer grasslands that have scrubby thickets which provide cover. As long as they have green food they can be independent of water although if it is available they have been known to drink.
The steenbok name is derived from the Afrikaans word “steen” meaning stone due to its brick-red colouration.
Steenbok form mating pairs which share a defended territory. However, they forage and rest away from one another. They may act in this way as it is less conspicuous in the open habitat where they live.
Both male and female steenbok will scrape the ground before, during and after defecating and urinating. Sometimes this will bury the dung but not always. This is believed to be a territorial action performed by both the male and female steenbok.
Steenbok browse and graze depending upon what is available due to their location and the season. When grazing they are able to rapidly increase the micro-organisms in their stomach that are required to breakdown the fibre.
Despite steenbok having large glands below their eyes they do not like other antelope use them for scent marking. Instead they will use glands between their hooves for this purpose.
Steenbok are known to hide in old aardvark holes when cover is sparse.

Spokane and Spokane Valley have something to boast about; a stunning river that flows through like a vein, its banks ripe with history where men and women settled to benefit from the flowing abundance.
Now a metropolis, the area often forgets the river; its sound lost to traffic. Still, it flows with the help of three major tributaries: Chamokane Creek, Hangman Creek and the Little Spokane River.
The participating artists will display their wares at five locations within minutes of each other and the river. Two of the sites are actually next door to each other in parklike settings where a creek runs through the properties of Smith and Gina Freuen. There, greeters will guide visitors to designated areas including the artists’ studios.
Both Smith and Freuen are ceramic artists and their studios will allow visitors to be privy to their processes; Smith’s raku work and Freuen’s curious porcelain and stoneware vessels. Freuen will be sharing her outdoor setting with jewelry artist Cheryl DeGroot, photographer Doug Edmonson whose realistic photos form abstract concepts, glass artists Katie Patten and Leonard Tinnell, painter Jessie Rasche, and Will Richards who creates organic-looking lamps from the shades to the ceramic bases.
Smith will host the works of three other ceramic artists as well as the work of AnnMarie Lewis (Tacky Cowgirl) who handcrafts handbags and aprons.
The three other studios on the tour will be hosted by nationally known garment designer Hulda Bridgeman, painter Victoria Brace whose specialty is portraits, and Patti Osebold, who makes Japanese sculptural figures out of clay, and dressed in hand-made decorative paper.
A spring that flows off the aquifer to the Little Spokane River runs through Bridgeman’s property, where visitors will be guided by ribbons and life-sized stuffed dolls that point the way to artists Sheila Evans, Neicy Frey and Katherine Nelson.
Brace will open her front door to reveal the works of papier-mâché artist Rhea Giffin, painter and mixed-media sculptor Dara Harvey, painter Gordon Wilson, and jewelry maker Kris Howell. Osebold will welcome visitors into her home where jewelry artists John Blessent and Deb Ellis, and painter Pauline Haas will be exhibiting their work.
Light refreshments will be served at each site but a food stand will be set up near Smith and Freuen’s with parts of the proceeds going to the Friends of the Little Spokane River Valley whose mission is to preserve and sustain the area.

This works best if your pipes are plastic rather than metal. This usually requires professional people to come in to help you get rid of this problem.

The reception after the funeral, which is sometimes called the wake, is an opportunity to mourn the passing of the person who has died and, as importantly, to celebrate their life. The reception also gives friends and relatives the opportunity to express their condolences and support for the deceased person’s close family.
The gathering can take many forms from a traditional cup of tea and sandwiches to a drinks party at home or in the pub.
You need to decide the sort of gathering that you and other family members want. The deceased person may well have made their own preferences clear either to the family or in a letter of wishes.
If you decide to use a local hall, restaurant or other location you should make the booking as soon as you have decided the date for the funeral. The funeral director, who you have appointed, will be able to help both in choosing an appropriate location or in making the booking.
You may find in the days following the death that understandably family members do not feel up to the job of preparing the food and drink for the reception.
Instead, you may want to ask other relatives and friends to help with the catering for the reception. They are likely to appreciate being able to assist and will feel included as a result. Alternatively, you may find it easier to use outside caterers and again the funeral director will be able to help arrange this.
You will need to estimate out how many people will be attending the reception. This can be difficult to do and you may need to ask a couple of family members to help you by phoning around to quantify numbers.
As part of the increasing trend towards personalising funerals, families are introducing special touches into the arrangements for the reception. These special touches may be a simple display of some photos of the deceased person, a choice of music, a favourite choice of wine or some informal reminiscences from close friends.

In Mind and Memory presents two research-based artistic collaborations. Using multiple-channel video and still photographs, these two pairs of artists respond in their works to experiences of being marginalized in a globally-connected world. Autobiographical inquiry takes on abstracted, poetic form in Baghdadi Mem/Wars (2010) by Dena al-Adeeb and Sama Alshaibi, which references the artists’ personal and family histories of war and migration from Iraq to the United States. State of Mind (2008) by Annica Karlsson Rixon and Anna Viola Hallberg is a documentary-based body of work about LGBTQ communities in St. Petersburg, Russia, in which first-person narratives are presented simultaneously in an installation alongside family portrait photos of their subjects. In both bodies of work, identity is complicated by other realities, necessitating a camouflage approach to social constructs. In this condition, the self retains autonomy only within the mind’s interior.
Worth Ryder Art Gallery, University of California, Berkeley, CA. September 28-October 22, 2011.

In the latest entry among “let’s rationalize Trump’s appeal by using rural white poverty The American Conservative has an interview with JD Vance.
Yes, rural America is poor. It’s been poor a long time.
I don’t buy what Vance is selling. It’s an intelligent interview, but it strikes me as being a stretch. My “I am from poor people in a poor place” bona fides are about as good as Vance’s, so let me give a different view.
Now that people like Vance are once again writing about the structural poverty of the countryside (because as problematic as it is, Michael Harrington’s The Other America preceded Vance by decades), eeeeee-lites are supposed to be chastened by the bloviating Mr. Trump who is taking down those politically correct elites because saying “chairperson” instead of “chairman” is so burdensome it’s ruining America and stopping all that would completely change economic outcomes in places in the US with neither the financial nor human capital to compete.
Political parties have forgotten about them; shame, shame on political parties. Of course they have forgotten about these places. Because these places are not economically or political important just because people who would like to be economically and politically influential live there.
The other major question for these disenfranchised rural residents: for people who are supposedly so disenfranchised are disproportionately represented in Congress. Their vote for Senators counts way, way more than mine, urban eeee-lite though I am. I am not disputing the wealth and political clout that exists in cities. I am asking, pointedly, that if what rural white residents want are job opportunities and greater political voice, are they using that clout to put like Steve King in office. King’s major policy stances have been in favor of dog-fighting (yeah, there’s the economic future, right there. Silicon Valley, look out) and keeping Harriet Tubman off currency in favor of genocidal maniac Andrew Jackson. That’s not using influence to generate hope and economic opportunity. That’s social conservatism. These places have consistently voted for TEA Party types. Now, you can bemoan the fact that rural voters aren’t voting their economic interests, or they are dumb, or whatever, but it seems to me that their social conservativism matters tremendously to them and that’s what they are voting on. Marriage equality is not keeping economic opportunities from them.
Maybe immigration is. But I’m less sanguine about that because economic migrants from all over are primarily moving major metro areas, both within and across borders, not places in the countryside (with a few exceptions). I’m sure some displacement has occurred, but the one economic strategy that immigrants use–moving to cities–is one that rural whites in the US have rejected. They have stayed put.
This is capitalism and political economy without Polyani’s welfare state as the brokered deal to redistribute a bit among classes and among places. Capitalism concentrates wealth both among individuals and places. Engels pointed this out. Political economy follows from capitalism, and here we are.
If Vance is right and I am wrong, the ultimate tragedy of putting their faith in Donald Trump is that he’s a liar who will say anything to play to whatever crowd is cheering for him at the moment. He does not care about anybody else and the whole “he’ll stick it to the elites” is utter baloney. I toted up how much I am going to save in taxes under his plan, and it was eye-popping.
Boy, that’ll sure show those eeee-lites.
*BTW, I think the term “Human capital” is gross, but commodified labor is commodified labor at some point.

Made the maple mustard chicken and it was amazing! We didn’t have the whole grain mustard so used Dijon instead – turned out delicious! Will definitely make again, thanks Kara!
Melanie passed this on to me (we work together) and I’m looking forward to trying the maple mustard chicken and other recipes as well. The website is great!

The photo which inspired this post is the same as that for the Carnival of Genealogy post on Catherine McCorkindale for Women’s History Month 2012. It shows my great-grandmother, Annie Sim McCorkindale seated with her daughters Catherine, Jean and Edith around her. Her eldest daughter Isabel is not in this photograph. I’ve estimated the date of this photo at c1900 which makes me suspect it may have been taken to give to sons Duncan and Peter before they left for Australia. She looks composed in this photograph and I’m guessing she’s holding her bible.
Annie Sim, second wife of Duncan McCorkindale, gives every evidence of being a strong woman capable of dealing with life’s challenges. She grew up on Backrow farm at Bothkennar, Stirling, daughter of James Sim and his wife Ann Wood. The farm had been in the family’s management for generations, though it’s likely they only leased it, but it does mean that she came from a family with rather more money than many of my ancestors. Backrow farm faces the Bothkennar church and school and Annie’s parents are buried in the kirkyard.
As a young woman, Annie defended her father when some hooligans entered the farm property and took her father into the corn fields to rough him up, apparently all because the family dog barked at them.[i] I loved discovering my female ancestor was a feisty woman!
Annie had an illegitimate daughter, Annie Lindsay Sim. I’m waiting on the release of the online Kirk Sessions to see what they tell me about the circumstances surrounding her daughter’s illegitimacy. Annie Lindsay Sim was essentially brought up by her grandparents after Annie’s marriage to Duncan. I wonder how Annie felt having to care for the two children of her husband’s first wife while forgoing her own first-born child. She did not inherit under her father’s will because he had brought up his granddaughter. However history proves that the family links remained close as we’ll see later.
Family legend tells that shortly before Annie’s husband Duncan died in 1906, her wedding ring came off and rolled across the floor. She went to give him a cup of tea, only to find him dead. Of course these may be only family stories, impossible to verify. Four years after Duncan’s death, Annie and most of her children emigrated to Australia. Her sons, Duncan and Peter, had come to Australia about 10 years earlier, supposedly to separate them from the 2nd cousins they wanted to marry. Annie’s first-born child, Annie Lindsay Sim, who by then had been widowed and remarried, arrived in Australia with her husband Daniel McVey and his family, around the same time. It’s interesting that the whole family, minus one son (Thomas Sim McCorkindale), had decided to make the big move. Annie Lindsay Sim’s son from her first marriage, Robert Anderson, also made emigrated.
I admire Annie Sim McCorkindale’s fortitude at making this international migration when she was 59 years old. She arrived in Queensland as a sponsored migrant, nominated by Alex McCulloch of Paddington, and documented as “married” rather than widowed[ii]. I’m still trying to work out what the connection was between Alex McCulloch and the McCorkindales.
Annie Sim McCorkindale in her old age, near their house in Brisbane. Do you think this might be the same dress revamped? The chain looks the same to me.
In her old age Annie lived with her daughter and son-in-law in Guildford St, Kelvin Grove. A granddaughter remembered that Annie had blue and white jugs in the kitchen, loved “wee brown eggs” and the family grew a coffee plant and ground coffee (people after my own heart!). It’s safe to assume that Annie would have met my father as an infant and toddler, since she lived quite close to my grandparents’ home. Annie Sim McCorkindale died in 1926, aged 75, and is buried at Toowong Cemetery with an infant grandson.
Annie’s relocation was worthwhile for her adopted country as well as the family. Her descendants made their impact on Australian society in various ways, small and large. Her son Duncan was a foreman at the Kingston joinery works and so instrumental in the construction of Canberra. He also contributed to the development of a Caledonian tradition in Canberra, acting as a judge of the pipers and dancing at the first Highland Games held by the Burns Club in 1925. His early death in 1928 was a loss to the Caledonian community as well as his family. Duncan’s daughter Ida was also worked in Canberra but subsequently vanishes. Annie’s other sons Peter and Malcolm were great pipers and Highland dancers, and although my father said Malcolm was the better piper, his nerves affected his performances. Newspaper reports reveal Peter winning one competition after the other at various Highland or Caledonian games as well as being Pipe Major with Brisbane’s Caledonian Band. (I wonder if there’s anyone still alive who was taught or mentored by one of the McCorkindale pipers). Annie’s step-grandson, Sir Daniel McVey, had a pivotal role in post-war aviation and was also Director of Posts and Telegraphs.
