How opera legend Jessye Norman learned to 'Stand Up Straight and Sing'
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
JUDY WOODRUFF: Finally tonight: a conversation with one of the greatest singers of her generation and her own look back at what made her the performer she is.
And again to Jeff. She sat down with Jessye Norman on a recent trip to New York.
JEFFREY BROWN: It's a voice known across the globe for its size, power, range, and beauty. Jessye Norman has performed on the great stages of the world, singing in operas, alongside symphony orchestras, jazz ensembles, and before the country as a sitting president renewed his oath to office.
She tells of such experiences, her childhood, training and more in the new memoir "Stand Up Straight and Sing!"
We met recently at Carnegie Hall in New York, scene of so many of her famous performances, and I asked about the command contained in her book's' title.
JESSYE NORMAN, Author, "Stand Up Straight and Sing!": It's one that I heard whispered very gently in my ear by my mother when I was about, say, 6, 7 or 8 years old.
JEFFREY BROWN: And you have been telling yourself that ever since?
JESSYE NORMAN: And I have been telling myself that ever since, and when I find myself, because it's — and I truly — and I write about this — it is a lifelong bad habit of resting in my right hip.
JEFFREY BROWN: Really?
JESSYE NORMAN: Exactly. So, and I find myself…
JEFFREY BROWN: Because we look. We see you. We're so used to you…
JESSYE NORMAN: Oh, absolutely.
JEFFREY BROWN: Yes. But you're a sloucher?
JESSYE NORMAN: Mm-hmm. I'm a sloucher, sort of, when nobody's looking.
JEFFREY BROWN: Maybe so, but it's hard to imagine a more regal presence on stage for a woman who's received countless awards, including, in 2010, America's highest artistic honor, the National Medal of the Arts.
It all began in Augusta, Georgia, where Norman gave her first performances in her local church.
JESSYE NORMAN: I feel comfortable sing in the great cathedrals of the world because I spent so much time as a child singing in church. And it isn't very different.
Of course, nothing looks quite like Notre Dame de Paris.
JEFFREY BROWN: Right.
JESSYE NORMAN: And it certainly is rather different from Mt. Cavalry Baptist Church in Augusta, Georgia.
JEFFREY BROWN: Yes.
JESSYE NORMAN: But it is still a church.
JEFFREY BROWN: This was the South. It was the Jim Crow South.
JESSYE NORMAN: Of course. It was the segregated South.
JEFFREY BROWN: You went to segregated South.
JESSYE NORMAN: And I was very lucky to have teachers at my segregated schools that were so interested in us and so wanted us to be the best that we could that, even though one is growing up in a segregated situation, you're still being offered the best that a person can give to you. And they want the best from you, and they want you to know that there is some good inside of you that they're going help you find.
JEFFREY BROWN: You write about one such person, the choral director you had in middle school, Rosa Sanders.
JESSYE NORMAN: Yes, Rosa Sanders.
JEFFREY BROWN: And I want to ask you about this because you said she and then later teach — other teachers afterwards helped you to find and know your own voice.
JESSYE NORMAN: Yes.
JEFFREY BROWN: Now, what does that mean?
JESSYE NORMAN: That means that I spent a lot of time listening to other singers on the radio, and all kinds of singing, whether it's Ella Fitzgerald, or Rosetta Tharpe, who was a very famous gospel singer, or Mahalia Jackson, or Nat King Cole, or Joan Sutherland, or Leontyne Price.
And it was she who worked with me to say, no, no, you can't possibly sound like Joan Sutherland, so sound like yourself. Just sing the song. She never tried to teach me vocal technique. I mean, after all, I was 13 years old or something. But what we did together was to learn a lot of music and to learn to enjoy it.
JEFFREY BROWN: Norman attended Howard University and then the University of Michigan for a master's program in voice. She says she truly knew she found her voice when, at age 23, she won an international competition in Munich, Germany.
Once you find that voice, is it there forever? Or do you have to tend to it?
JESSYE NORMAN: You have to tend to it, whether that instrument lives inside of your body or whether it sort of lives at the top of your shoulder.
But you have to know how your voice feels.
JEFFREY BROWN: How it feels, not how it sounds?
JESSYE NORMAN: Feels. How it feels, not how it sounds, because what the audience is hearing is not at all what you're able to hear.
So you have to know that if your voice is feeling well — it's feeling well, and your shoulders are relaxed and your voice seems to flow with your breath, then you're all right.
JEFFREY BROWN: So that's the production of sound that anybody can learn.
JESSYE NORMAN: That is the production of sound, yes.
JEFFREY BROWN: I suppose anybody can learn.
JESSYE NORMAN: Yes.
JEFFREY BROWN: But then where — then the art comes in.
JESSYE NORMAN: Then the art comes in. Of course, that is with study and training and practice.
And the thing that changes, what is so wonderful is that everybody's voice is different, because you're different on the inside. And that is what changes your voice.
JEFFREY BROWN: I had a laugh when — one line — you said, "I acknowledge that I can bore a conductor to tears wishing to rehearse a phrase or a page more often than he feels necessary."
JESSYE NORMAN: Yes.
JESSYE NORMAN: I'm afraid that happens rather often.
JEFFREY BROWN: You're laughing now, but that does happen?
JESSYE NORMAN: I'm afraid so.
JEFFREY BROWN: Yes.
JESSYE NORMAN: And — but I try not to be completely ridiculous. There's only a certain amount of time on which the orchestra can be with you. And so, therefore, one needs to use that time more wisely than repeating the phrase three times because the singer would like it a little differently, please.
JESSYE NORMAN: So, we try to get those things kind of ironed out ahead of time.
JEFFREY BROWN: Well, you do mention this — the common usage of diva, right?
JESSYE NORMAN: Oh, yes, I'm afraid so.
JESSYE NORMAN: I decided that I would simply embrace it, and therefore change the meaning of it, because, if you don't, then, of course, it's used in a way that is most unflattering and is meant to indicate somebody that is capricious and just sort of difficult to be around. And I would hope that that is not true.
JEFFREY BROWN: At 68, Jessye Norman continues an active schedule of teaching and singing around the world. But she says it was a revelation to stop and gather memories of her life in music and as a child growing up in a loving family.
JESSYE NORMAN: My parents said to us, practically on a daily basis, that we were as good as anyone else on this earth, and that we would simply have to work harder in order to show that.
I knew that I was loved. And that's such an important thing. And, of course, at such an early age, you take it for granted. Of course your parents love you. Of course Mrs. Hubert across the street loves you and your godmother loves you and your grandparents love you.
But the longer one lives, the more one understands that that's not necessarily the way that everybody else grows up, or that they have grown up in this way. And so I say to myself as often as I can, you lucky duck.
JEFFREY BROWN: Giving some of that back, Norman helped found and remains deeply involved with the Jessye Norman School of the Arts, for talented, but economically disadvantaged children in her hometown of Augusta.

Review by moosenoose
This book was ok but certainly nothing special. I think what really let it down were the appalling mistakes made by the author (and by association the publisher and proof readers). This book was filled to the brim with grammatical and spelling errors. At first it was just the odd mistake which I tried to ignore. But then words were missed out and sometimes the incorrect word was used (such as he picked up his back and left the room. Back? You mean bag!) Things did not improve as the story continued, resulting in me having to read sentences more than once to get the gist of what was happening. The worst part was when Jo and Lydia were having a conversation and then the incorrect name was printed so that Jo was talking with herself! If these errors had been picked up and corrected then this would have been an easy read for Christmas. The story was a bit farfetched and unbelievable, (one woman and three interested men, really?)! But then I suppose at Christmas fairy tales aren't always a bad thing. I would have to say if you want to read this book, don't spend money on it. Get it from the library as the author and publishing house should not be making a profit from this. Harsh, but true.

First 239 words of the document:
Res Ipsa Loquitor
In Civil Law the `Burden of Proof' is on the claimant. It is for the Claimant to prove
their case and the standard of proof is on the `Balance of Probability'. This means
the level of proof is required is to prove that they are more likely to be telling the
truth than the defendant is.
In a negligence case it is for the Claimant to prove duty and breach. However
there are very rare occasions when the Burden of Proof is reversed and the
Defendant is assumed to be in breach. The defendant then has to prove that they
are not in breach.
1865 Scott v St Katherine Dock A customs officer was standing under the
window of a warehouse when a bag of sugar fell on him from above. The
Claimant wanted to sue the warehouse but couldn't prove breach as noone had
an idea of how the breach occurred.
The court held that the `Burden of Proof' is reversed and the Defendant must
prove they are not in breach if:
a) There is no explanation as to how the accident happened
b) The harm/injury is of a type which only occurs if there has been a lack of care
c) The accident happened in a place under the sole control of the Defendant

Details of Astoria and the Ticket Luck value
Some know it as a beautiful city on the Columbia River, just a few miles from the Pacific Ocean. Some call it the oldest American settlement west of the Rockies and some remember it as a beautiful and attractive city to spend holidays. We are referring to the city of Astoria that charms all and sundry with its striking beauty and impeccable charm.
Astoria is a city worth-visiting. Located on the lines of south banks of the Columbia River, and the north banks of Young's bay, Astoria is rich in scenic beauty, with a vista of the Pacific Ocean and its endless miles of sandy beaches.
The city is surrounded by water and tall evergreen Douglas Fir, Hemlock and Spruce trees and its not just natural beauty, but Astoria also stands rich in culture, traditions and architect.
Astoria has seen many tribes and settlements in its ages old history. Clatsop Indians lived here for thousands of years. The city was also accessed by Capt. Robert Gray when sailed in the Columbia Rediviva in 1792. Lewis and Clark led their Expedition here in 1805 and a fur trading post was set up here by John Jacob Astors men in 1811.
When the United States and England went to war in 1812, a British warship sailed into the Columbia River to capture the post and take control of the fur trade. Astors fur traders beat them to the punch by selling the post to the British NorthWest Company.
From 1813 to 1818, the British owned Astoria and it was known as Fort George. In 1818, a treaty with England established joint occupation of the Oregon Country, as it was called then. The boundary was set at the 49th Parallel. The British did not completely abandon Astoria until 1846.
Finally Astoria was incorporated in 1876 and was named after John Jacob Astor. The city played a significant part in the development of Oregon through its port. It witnessed some rough times as well but Astoria knows well how to bounce back from disaster. The world saw that when downtown was rebuilt in just two years after it was burned to the ground in 1922.
Let us now look at the attractions and entertainment options that Astoria offers us. Astoria is a delightful romantic getaway to all good things in life. The city possesses great charm for the visitors. It is mainly acknowledged for its rich cultural heritage. The two forts across Youngs Bay are intriguing tourist destinations.
One of them is Fort Stevens State Park that remained a guardian of the Columbia River mouth from the Civil War through World War II. This is now a huge state park with camping, bike paths, a lake and remains of a 1906 shipwreck. There is a Civil War re-enactment every Labor Day Weekend at Fort Stevens.
Next to explore is Fort Clatsop National Memorial. This National Park Service memorial commemorates the 1805-06 winter encampment of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Astoria's historic Column is among those historic sites of the city that are widely visited by everyone. Built in 1926, the column is 125 feet high and has 164 steps winding to the top.
Astorias rich history can also be explored by visiting its historic museums. The Columbia River Maritime Museum is the best one that showcases maritime history from dugout canoes to sail ships. Heritage Museum is also worth a visit.
Moreover the Firefighters Museum and Childrens Museum also guaranteed good times. While you can explore firefighting history with many pieces of antique firefighting equipment and lots of photos of Astorias great fire in the former, the later offers Children many activities for play and learning. Astoria Aquatic Center on Marine Drive offers family, lap, therapy swims and other swimming options.
Astoria celebrates present as much as it retain its past. There are many cafe's and unique shops located in the city that are always full of customers. There is a variety of some historic hotels, Inns, and Bed and Breakfast accommodations as well, so you are welcomed here in a big way.
Once you think you are done with Astorias attractions? there are more to surprise you. Oregon's ancient forests can also be reached from here and they provide complete thrill for hiking freaks. All in all, it is hard not to like the refreshing texture of Astoria and its soothing atmosphere.
The city invites you all to explore its past and enjoy its present. So why dont you check out this beautiful city in your next family outing as this offers so fun and excitement like never before!

Critical Hit: Games as a Service
Published on 4th June 2011 by Richard Cobbett

Critical Hit: Games as a Service
Hands up if you're surprised that Activision is launching a premium Call of Duty service. Anyone? Didn't think so. Whether or not it turns out to be good value for money remains to be seen, but the basic service has been inevitable ever since every person on Earth bought two copies of Modern Warfare 2. If there's a surprise here, it's that they've resisted so long.
What makes it an important story though is that, regardless of whether or not you give a damn about Call of Duty itself, it's the industry's first major bet on games as services rather than products.
That doesn't necessarily mean subscription fees or even paying extra will become standard, regardless of how much the money-men salivate over the idea. The simple fact is that some games can support premium services, and some can't, but very few have the clout to get away with extorting too much - especially if it unbalances the game or splits the community. Modern Warfare, with its £10 map packs, is very much an anomaly - albeit a profitable one.
Call of Duty Elite aside, there are some real benefits of the games-as-a-service philosophy. The big one is that it offers to increase the lifespan of some games. Valve is the champion of this, with Gabe Newell recently claiming the service model as both its current focus, and the next step in episodic development (otherwise known as 'that thing everyone but Telltale failed miserably at'). Team Fortress 2 has run on this model ever since release, with updates funded by the resulting sales spikes, and attention kept frothy through cartoons, humour, and the occasional overpriced hat to raise a 'Grr'.
Call of Duty Elite may not be up your street, but it's certainly a bold move
Indie games are at it too, with the likes of Minecraft and Project Zomboid not simply selling pre-release versions to raise funds, but making their open-development process part of the fun. The attention that Minecraft gets when it reveals something like rain or in-game maps dwarves many big game release announcements, and the experience of being there to play with them while they're still new is a major draw. Where most games are designed to be finished, these are designed to be expanded.
Commercial, single-player games are in a more awkward position, but still stand to benefit from a service model. They don't even have to stop selling DLC (as nice as it would be to get it for free, especially in Special Editions).
As a not-so-random example, imagine a game such as Fallout: New Vegas being released as-was... ideally without as many bugs... but with a year's worth of planned updates. A big in-game gambling tournament in March for instance, complete with online tie-in. A couple of new quests to whet peoples' appetites before a DLC pack. An ARG in July. New monsters showing up out of the blue. Anything is possible, keeping even a fixed core story active, evolving, and interesting in the long-term. Any big event is a chance to get more people into the core game. More people with the game installed means more likely purchasers of any DLC. The result? Just good business, but a more effective kind than 'So, we made this. Give us some more money.' Ask Valve.
Analysts predict a £3 per month price point for Call of Duty Elite's services
The catch with the games-as-a-service model is that it can only work as a two-way street. Episodic gaming failed primarily because the majority of developers forgot their part of the deal - that episodic meant 'regular' and 'guaranteed', not 'shorter' and 'immediately cancelled'.
It only took a couple of big failures, such as SiN Episodes and the eternal wait for Half-Life: Episode 2, for the entire concept to fall flat on its face. The same will be true here too, and in their hearts, everyone pushing the concept knows it. Done properly, games as a service offers the promise of a whole new dawn. Done badly, it's the perfect way to turn the goose that lays the golden eggs into a particularly unpleasant pate. The handy thing, at least to some degree, is that the people with the most incentive to try are the ones with the most to lose if they fail. Hopefully that, if nothing else, will keep them in check.
And if not, well, there's always anger, screaming, mass boycotts and armed rebellion. Just saying, Mr. Kotick. Just saying...

Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:more than 1 month
Pros:Lamp is waterproof, very bright at all usable distances, light with nice finish
Cons:A bit narrow beam (can be changed with getting wide lens), battery case is not waterproof
OtherThoughts:See bottomline for impressions...
Bottomline:Really nice lamp for the money, almost perfect for main light, but maybe even better when used as headlight.
Shame battery case is not waterproof for those rainy muddy rides, but that can be fixed in DIY manner.
Also there are lenses for making light beam wider, making it much more usable for trail night rides.

Voters with Disabilities:
Challenges to Voting Accessibility
GAO-13-538SP: Published: Apr 23, 2013. Publicly Released: Apr 23, 2013.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7215
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
Compared to 2000, the proportion of polling places in 2008 without potential impediments increased and almost all polling places had an accessible voting system as states and localities made various efforts to help facilitate accessible voting. In 2008, based upon GAO's survey of polling places, GAO estimated that 27 percent of polling places had no potential impediments in the path from the parking to the voting area--up from16 percent in 2000; 45 percent had potential impediments but offered curbside voting; and the remaining 27 percent had potential impediments and did not offer curbside voting. All but one polling place GAO visited had an accessible voting system--typically, an electronic machine in a voting station--to facilitate private and independent voting for people with disabilities. However, 46 percent of polling places had an accessible voting system that could pose a challenge to certain voters with disabilities, such as voting stations that were not arranged to accommodate voters using wheelchairs. In GAO's 2008 state survey, 43 states reported that they set accessibility standards for polling places, up from 23 states in 2000. Further, 31 states reported that ensuring polling place accessibility was challenging. Localities GAO surveyed in 2008 reported providing voting services directly to long-term care facility residents who may face challenges voting in a polling place. For example, close to one-third of localities GAO surveyed reported designating long-term care facilities as Election Day polling places.
From shortly after the passage of HAVA until 2006, Justice provided guidance on polling place accessibility and conducted an initial assessment of states' compliance with HAVA's January 2006 deadline for accessible voting systems. After implementation of HAVA, Justice's oversight of HAVA's access requirements was part of two other enforcement efforts, but gaps remained. While Justice provided guidance on polling place accessibility, this guidance did not address accessibility of the voting area itself. In 2009, Justice conducted polling place observations for federal elections that identified whether accessible voting systems were in place, but it did not systematically assess the physical accessibility of polling places or the level of privacy and independence provided to voters with disabilities. Justice also conducted a small number of annual community assessments of Americans with Disabilities Act compliance of public buildings, which included buildings designated as polling places. However, these assessments did not provide a national perspective on polling place accessibility or assess any special features of the voting area and the accessible voting system that are set up only on Election Day.
Why GAO Did This Study
Voting is fundamental to our democracy and federal law generally requires polling places to be accessible to all eligible voters, including those with disabilities and the elderly. However during the 2000 federal election, GAO found that only 16 percent of polling places had no potential impediments to voting access for people with disabilities. To address these and other issues, Congress enacted the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA), which required each polling place to have an accessible voting system by 2006. Congress asked GAO to reassess voting access on Election Day 2008, and also to study voter accessibility at long-term care facilities.
This statement focuses on (1) progress made from 2000 to 2008 to improve voter accessibility in polling places, including relevancy to long-term care facilities and (2) steps the Department of Justice (Justice) has taken to enforce HAVA voting access provisions.
To prepare this statement, GAO relied primarily on its prior products on polling place accessibility (GAO-09-941) and voting in long-term care facilities (GAO-10-6).
What GAO Recommends
GAO previously recommended that Justice expand its monitoring and oversight of polling place accessibility. Justice generally agreed with our recommendation and has reported taking some steps towards addressing it, such as expanding Election Day observations to include an assessment of physical accessibility.

When I worked in the clubhouse for the Syracuse Chiefs part of my job was distributing fan mail. Everyone would get a lot and the big prospects would get the most. Most guys signed almost everything that was sent to them. Far different than the big leagues and you will have much better luck going this route IMO. Now i've been out of the clubhouse for three years and the player atmosphere has changed a lot in that time. Players seem to be more guarded now w/ their signature as compared to the past. Just my 2 cents!

Yan is now in Cleveland so depending on how long his stay is there, it may be awhile if ever. I used to box up the mail from the players who got called up to Toronto. I would either deliver it there myself or wait till the players returned. (Most do). If the player is no longer at the receiving address though, your chances go down about 80%!

This is what happens at naptime when I can FINALLY find my sharp clippers:)
I have this bush in my front yard that really really needed pruning back. not sure if this is the time of year to do it--BUT it happened today and then this mantle happened out of it.
I *think* the topsy turvy off kilter feeling is only coming from the photograph. Although, honestly I'm not climbing back up on the ladder anytime soon to fix it:)
AND a little closer up....
AND closer still........
My photography skills are really lacking. I'm not sure I can blame my camera for this one:(
I made the banner last year from placements and curtains I got at Good Will...the framed verse is from HERE, and I made the Dollar Tree Hurricanes.
Not exactly magazine material but pretty decent for my decorating budget ;)

got a strange humm...whirring from my front pass. wheel......quieted when i turned left....so i adjusted the wheel alignment again...towing it in a smidge....it seemed to help....but now its louder when i go left....lol...exact opposite...its not consistant like a bearing...whir, whir, whir, whir...faster as i drive faster.....dunno....any ideas may help diagnose this...the wheels appear to be straight now...but my steering wheel is off...lol....i can live with that., but id like the sound gone, as its been worrysome.
good news.....while driving it today....it feels stronger...lots of original feeling pep!!.....it was fun, in fact ima go drive it again right now....lol
got some chirps going into 2nd gear......hahaha...fun fun..
I would almost take this thing over my 20th year
Love everything about it, especially those turn signals, look so dope.
A white top would look pretty unique but it would get dirty real quick.
Road head > armrest
thnks alot!!....i was thinking a tan top...my girl says no way...lol....thinks itll look bad...i may just go black again...
Ahhhh this car is so clean. I recently added a duckbill and custom blinkers to my cabby I'm debating what to run stance wise though =\ your running chopped springs? How much did you cut off?
Low&slow is my way of life
Love the blinkers. Im going to have to do that this winter. Also what size are the tires on the snowflakes?
i cut the **** out of them....not sure how much.....did some, dropped it....did some more....ect...
had a pile of coil pieces when i was done!
Nice work man, I for one like it. I love the turn signals. If it weren't for the cops around here I'd shave the bumper on my MK1 but I'd probably get pulled over and harassed so I may go for a clipper kit or something similar.

actually getting it legal on monday......that means daily driving, and im so excited.....got a bunch more **** to so....but im ok with that...ill be running it as i work on it...
also....anyone know if this will fit my car?
looking to do the exhaust, as its a bit rusted and crappy.....
or side exhaust...w no muffler.....but im afraid it will sound a bit too raggidy.....anyone got video, or sound clips for 8v side exhaust.?
You deserve a medal for saving that poor car.
Who would abuse a Cabby like that?
Two ways I could take that.
Maybe you thought I meant you, and not the previous owner.
Or maybe you are being sarcastic and meant that as a joke.
If you don't think that car was abused based on the way it looked in the first photos, you need serious help.
this whole thread starts after i got it, and started doing work......

By Gilad Atzmon
It occurred to me in recent years that the act of being Progressive is not a political position but rather a mental state.
The incapacity of the entire American progressive and Left establishment to foresee Trump's landslide victory suggests that we are dealing with people who areinstitutionally detached
Just three days ahead of the presidential elections, the Huffington Post pathetically criticised star pollster Nate Silver of "Unskewing Polls in Trump's direction," for suggesting that Trump victory was realistic. Ryan Grim wrote: "HuffPost Pollster is giving Clinton a 98 percent chance of winning, and The New York Times' model at The Upshot puts her chances at 85 percent."
There is one outlier, however, that is causing waves of panic among Democrats around the country and injecting Trump backers with the hope that their guy might pull this thing off after all. Nate Silver's 538 model gives Donald Trump a heart-stopping 35% chance of winning as of this weekend."
The Huffington Post goes as far as accusing Silver of"making a mockery of the very forecasting industry that he popularized."
In perspectives, Nate Silver and his 538 were obviously spot on. The Huffington Post and The New York Times were totally off the mark. Is it a coincidence?
How is it possible that the Democratic Party, the mainstream media and Wall Street have managed to totally miss the level of anger that unites the American masses. These questions go far beyond polling strategy or the science of statistics. We are dealing with a state of being aloof on the verge of total detachment.
Left and progressive thinking is shaped like a dream. It tells us what the world ought to be. Progressives often seem to forget what the world really is and what its people are really like. Hillary Clinton and her campaign, just like the New York Times and The Huffington Post, were in a state of denial. Boasting in righteous hubris, they failed to read the map.
But this shouldn't take us by a complete surprise. Detachment wasn't invented by Clinton and her team. Detachment and alienation are ingrained in progressive thought. To be a progressive is to believe that some of the 'other' people are simply a bunch ofunaware 'reactionaries.' Progressive thought is the secular manifestation of 'chosenness'. It is inherently Jewish, a fact that explains why Hillary Clinton's top five donors were Jewish billionaires.
Since being progressive is a form of supremacy. I would go as far as suggesting that progressives' antagonism towards 'white supremacy', is at large, a form of projection. the progressive attributes to 'Whiteness' his own exceptionalist inclinations.
Americans vs. Identitarians
On election day, we learned that the Democratic Party was hanging on a thread, hoping to be saved by Florida's 'Hispanic vote.' Clinton's political future depended upon the hope that Trump had managed to upset enough Latinos. This peculiar development in which a national party is dependent on group politics shouldn't take us by surprise anymore
The 2016 American presidential election divided America into two camps:
The Americans on one side and the Identitarians on the other. The Americans are those who see themselves primarily as American patriots. They are driven by rootedness and heritage. For them, the promise to make 'America great again' confirms that utopia is nostalgia and that the progressive reality is nothing short of dystopia. The Identitarians, on the other hand, are those who subscribe to progressive sectarian politics. They see themselves primarily as LGBTQ, Latino, Black, Jews, Women, and so on. Their bond with the American national or patriotic ethos is secondary and often non-existent. The future of the Democratic party, in its current form, depends upon the hope that American subscriptions to sectarian ideologies will gradually increase and, as a result, will eventually strengthen the context of identity or group politics. The progressive agenda banks on the divestiture of the national and patriotic ethos. Needless to mention that half of America voted for Clinton. Hence, this political agenda is far from being farfetched or delusional.
But the Identitarian agenda backfired. It was only a question of time before the so-called 'whites' or 'rednecks' grasped that their backs have been pressed to the wall. They also started to act and think as an identitarian political sector. Hillary Clinton calling Trump's voters a "basket of deplorables" was a clear sign for white poor Americans that Hillary wasn't exactly their ally. However, Hillary was far from being alone. Almost every Jewish writer within the American press didn't miss the opportunity to attribute the "White Supremacist" label to Trump's voters. For Cheryl Greenberg, Trump's popularity was "the final gasping of white supremacy." For Talking Points Memo's Josh Marshall, Trump's closing ad was packed with "anti-Semitic dog whistles, anti-Semitic tropes, and anti-Semitic vocabulary." For Marshall and Goldberg, half of the American people were dogs obeying their master's whistle.
It shouldn't take us by surprise that half of the American people would eventually react. They became weary of Jewish progressives like Marshall and Goldberg seeing them as dogs and white supremacists. The time was ripe for a revolution.
So is the revolution here? I'm not holding my breath. The people who crowned Trump are certainly exhausted. They are ready for a change. Can Trump introduce such a change? No one knows. He is certainly going to keep us entertained.

Zoom is the thirteenth studio album by British symphonic rock band Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), released on 12 June 2001 on Epic Records. It was the first official ELO album since 1986's Balance of Power. Japanese reissue by Avalon includes 3 bonus tracks.
Electric Light Orchestra took rock in a new direction, combining lush orchestrations with a pop sensibility, rapidly scoring 17 Top 40 hits. After a lengthy absence from U.S. stages, ELO, headed by Jeff Lynne, returns in this much-anticipated performance kicking off the new "ZOOM" album at CBS Television City in Los Angeles with all of the lavish spectacle the band is famous for in this state-of-the-art concert.
Japanese original greatest hits album from Electric Light Orchestra combines the following two albums already released: "All Over The World - The Very Best Of Electric Light Orchestra" (2005) and "Ticket To The Moon - The Very Best Of Electric Light Orchestra Volume 2" (2007). Features Blu-spec CD2 format and contains 40 tracks total on two discs.
ELO Part II were a band formed by Electric Light Orchestra drummer and co-founder Bev Bevan. The band also included former ELO bassist Kelly Groucutt, and violinist Mik Kaminski for most of its career, along with conductor Louis Clark who toured as a guest with ELO in its later years. After Bevan left the band in late 1999, he sold his half of the rights to the Electric Light Orchestra name back to Jeff Lynne, and the band changed its name to The Orchestra. Electric Light Orchestra Part Two is an album released by ELO Part II in 1990. "Kiss Me Red" was originally from Cheap Trick's album, The Doctor. In March 1991 "Honest Men" charted at number 60 on the UK Singles Chart, and 36 on the Dutch Top 40 chart.
The Electric Light Orchestra are one of the most successful British bands of all time. Formed after the break-up of The Move in 1970, they pioneered the integration of orchestral instruments into pop music and released a series of groundbreaking and increasingly successful albums through the seventies that culminated in the multi-million selling "Out Of The Blue"…

Editorial: U.S. still short 7 million jobs
After the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported last week that the nation's economic output declined 1 percent during the first quarter of this year, we welcome Friday's report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics that the economy added 217,000 jobs in May.
Indeed, it marked 51 straight months of job growth, during which the private sector has created 9.4 million new jobs. It also meant that the U.S. economy has, at long last, recovered the jobs lost during the so-called Great Recession.
But let's not declare a national day of celebration just yet. Because, while job growth is trending in the right direction – with nonfarm payroll employment exceeding 200,000 each of the past four months – it, frankly, has been disappointing since the recession officially ended five years ago this month.
Josh Bivens, director of research and policy at the liberal Economic Policy Institute, notes that the economy has created 113,000 net new jobs since the Great Recession began in December 2007.
"It needed to have created around 7 million," he estimates, "to keep pace with potential growth in the labor force and return overall labor market health back to what prevailed immediately before" the recession.
That "jobs gap" of nearly 7 million is what should command the attention of policymakers in Washington. It's "the real, nontrivial benchmark to monitor," Mr. Bivens contends.
Indeed, EPI on Friday posted data on the large pool of what it calls "missing workers," the nearly 6 million "potential workers who, because of weak job opportunities, are neither employed nor actively seeking a job."
Counting those people, the 6.3 percent jobless rate the BLS reported for May would be more like 9.7 percent, according to EPI's calculation.
What particularly troubles is that roughly half of missing workers are of prime working age, 25 to 54. They are a big part of the reason the nation's labor participation rate was 62.8 percent in May, the lowest level since the late 1970s.
In a blog post Friday pegged to the May jobs report, Jason Furman, chairman of President Obama's council of economic advisers, said his boss believes that "more can and should be done to strengthen economic growth and expand economic activity."
And toward that end, said Mr. Furman, the president will "press ahead using his executive authority" to "take action to improve college affordability and support working families."
Well, we're all for improving college affordability and supporting working families, but we don't see how they have anything to do with shrinking the economy's jobs gap. The nation's 6 million missing workers are to be forgiven for thinking the Obama administration has forsaken them.

Kenmore 90 Series Does Not Spin/Does Agitate
Model Number: 110.28922790 Brand: Kenmore Age: More than 10 years
Kenmore 90 Series, model number 110.28922790. Over the course of 12 years, I've replaced the motor coupling and and installed an agitator kit because it was not agitating (two separate incidents). About 6 months ago, it stopped agitating falling a very rough spin cycle. Found the motor coupling not aligned. Today, the machine made grinding noises during agitation. Pulled machine apart to check motor coupling. Grinding noises went away once it was put back together, but machine does not spin. Double checked my work and confirmed that agitation is great in all speeds, but tub does not spin. I don't know what could cause the machine to agitate but not spin. Please help! Related Models |

The two problems I ran into were: 1. getting the transmission back on. It just wouldn't go in far enough. I tapped the agitator rod (not sure of actual name) back into the trans a bit, just enough that the trans mounting bolts would catch, then tightened the bolts to bring the trans back up to where it needed to be. 2. The skate plate was out of place, which caused it to go out of balance at high spin speeds. I had had the washer on its front and sides in the course of the repair, which threw the plate out of place, and I didn't know how important the skate plate was. Make sure it's aligned with the triangular base when you set the washer back on its feet. Feel free to ask more questions. I just finished doing this two days ago. Good luck! |
I've subsequently been told that our brakes might be bad too, but the washer seems to work fine, so I'm letting sleeping dogs lie on that one. I think if the brakes are binding, when the washer is in spin mode, it will be difficult to turn by hand (i.e., the brakes are holding it back). In mine, I could get it to spin by hand, and once I got it spinning it would go by itself. The clutch is a circular metal band with the ends held together with a spring. It resides in a shiny metal housing about the size and shape of a Petri dish. When I bought my new one, I had to get all the parts, not just the clutch itself. It came to about $70 at my local parts store, though you could probably find it cheaper online. The dude at the parts store was really helpful, too. I Googled "kenmore washer transmission troubleshooting" and found this a site called "****************" that had some good info. For some reason I can't post the link. It seems like a good guide for diagnosing trans problems. I think, though, if it agitates, the trans should be OK. But don't quote me on that. |

By Philip Van der Vossen on
The Dutch have pulled off the upset, defeating Brazil to advance in the World Cup. Brazil was the favorite coming into the tournament, and have won 5 World Cups in their history, while the Netherlands has won none. So I think you'll forgive the country with the famous "oranje" fans if they do a bit of partying tonight. My Dad moved to America from Holland when he was 10, so I consider the Dutch my brothers. In order to help my fellow countrymen celebrate I have prepared a gallery of their rabid fans. The Netherlands is known for having some of the best fans in all of sport, I think you can see why :

Our local public library brings in a nationally recognized author
with something interesting to say, some relevance with current issues,
and who is on the speaking circuit. This year, it was Nicole Mones, who
I had never heard of, but since her fiction is about modern China, I
decided it was worth reading, in anticipation of attending her free and open to the public talk.
Also, I
attended a party sometime ago where I spoke at length with the director
of the library about the author series which I love. But, I said, you really
need to bring in a woman next time. So far, all the speakers had been
men. So this was another reason I needed to attend. To support the
library who did just what I asked them to do.
Ms Mones has three published works of fiction so far and I chose to read this book, her third, The Last Chinese Chef. The book
itself was not a favorite by any means. Fiction feels very contrived to
me lately, and this book felt a little stilted in its writing and its
story. I liked it. It was interesting. But I did not love it. Mones'
research and attention to the history of China, in this case, Chinese food and restaurant culture, is evident, and for that
reason, I stuck with the book. I did look forward to hearing her
talk. Her other two books are about the porcelain industry and about archeology.
The talk was lovely. Nicole Mones is a very gifted story teller and speaker and has dedicated her writing life to telling little known stories about China and especially life during the cultural revolution. The bulk of her talk was about her new book, out in March, about Shanghai in the 1930's which became a sort of haven for African American performers who enjoyed money, success and fair treatment when they were invited from Harlem to start a big band type movement. She also talked very eloquently about a little known movement in Jewish history, that of the immigration of 25,000 Jews from Austria and Poland to Shanghai during the reign of Hitler. Her stories came with pictures and small movies of the era and overall it was a really smashing evening. I am now a huge fan. Bought one of her other books and will make sure to get a copy of this book when it comes out.
As a final coda to the evening, my husband and I were invited to a soiree afterward with the writer and I asked her about China's one child policy and if she had any interest in writing something about that cultural phenomena. She responded that she would need an American tie-in to make it work for her and she did not have a ready one. I wanted to ask her more about writing, but she was too in demand. I had to move along. What a great evening. Support this writer--buy her books!
