This show was part of the "2010 Early Summer Tour"
Review by waxbanks
The Way We Were: Exactly one year ago Phish played Bonnaroo for the first time in the middle of an early summer tour that was proving mildly worrisome for fans. The written music was superb, the energy unbelievable, but - tough as it was to admit it - the improv just wasn't going deep. There were bright signs, but it wasn't until the late summer shows that the band started to embrace what was once known as 'Type II' jamming (open-ended improvisations beyond the standard individual song frameworks). Even the improvisatory blowouts of fall and winter - the Albany Seven > Ghost, the Miami GBOTT, runs of segues from early December - seemed exceptional rather than standard.
Things have changed.
Historical perspective is the first casualty of the adrenaline rush of tour, but it's clear that the boys have undergone a transformation during the long offseason, growing both individually and (especially) as a group. All three shows of Summer Tour 2010, so far, would have counted as 2009 highlights - as would a handful of individual performances from *each* show. The whole first set is top flight, but nearly every song in the second set tops its 2009 versions; it's just that kind of show. The Twist, Drowned, and especially YEM(!!) are gold-medal stuff: Trey and Fish are playing at 1999 levels of precision, vigor, and most of all *patience*, while Page and Mike are simply better in every way than they've ever been. (OK, one exception: Page's vocals.)
Patience is the key, I think, and as usual the band's transformation is in many ways Trey-centric. The Red Wizard/Magic Man often seemed jittery in '09, jumping in to arrest unusually free improvisations - witness the painful Hartford DWD/Wilson transition. But he's very much at ease here, really surrendering to the music even at the expense of last year's structural tightness. Even when he tries to pull off maneuvers that don't quite work, like *dropping* beats instead of adding them in the messily exciting first-set SOAM jam, he's right there in the moment.
There's a lot of late-90's rhythm play going on now too, though without the loss of clarity that really set in during '99/'00. Trey's making an effort to sit back during jams, freeing the other players up to take more authoritative roles. This show's Drowned and Twist jams revel in the democratic spirit that's always been a big part of Phish's music, yet sometimes gets submerged onstage, where Trey's leadership role is more or less clear from night to night.
And yeah: consider springing for one of this tour's SBD recordings from livephish.com; the balance issues of '09 have been worked out, and they're a joy to listen to.
As strongly as Fall Tour closed out, exciting as the Miami run was, Phish are simply better now than at any point since their return. If you're on the fence about catching a show this summer, just do it. Can't go wrong with Phish even on an off night, and they haven't had one of those in a while...
Review by karmapolice
My 1st show of 2010 and my gf's first show ever. Was gonna check out the park before the show but hit some traffic so just found my friends in the lot instead. The show itself was excellent. We went in early and were way close Page-side rage-side.
If you haven't given this show a listen I highly recommend it as I find myself putting it on fairly often. Jibboo opener set the mood right and it didnt slow down all night. It also sounded like Mike was turned up higher than usual which is a huge plus imo.
Fluffhead,Funky Bitch,Jim>NICU,Horn>It's Ice were all first time songs for me in a row
Mike kept the funk rolling all night
Review by parrott56
LONG review. You've been warned….
My fourth show, and first of four this tour. I went with my very good friend Emily, PA native and Phish first-timer. On the way to the venue, after we'd gotten off the highway and were nearing Hershey, we drove through an absolute DELUGE of rain, during which I could barely see the road in front of me. Fortunately, within ten minutes we were past it and out beneath sunny skies again. I had Emily put on "Mr. Blue Skies" accordingly.
I couldn't believe where I was when we pulled into the lot. It had been a long seven months since Cincy. After slipping a flask of Seagram's gin into my back pocket (I was dearly hoping for some of the Bathtub variety), we took in the sights and sounds and smells of lot for a while before heading over to the stadium to get in line.
Hershey stadium being GA floor, there were already a few diehards waiting outside the gates. One older, awesome-looking (GD and Phish) vet kept saying he wasn't calling anything except Fluffhead, third song, first set. Strangely particular call, I thought. The gates opened and we stormed the field, settling into a second row behind some other college-age kids, right in front of Cactus. Pre-show chats with other phans were great as always—really one of my favorite parts of the Phish experience.
JIBBOO. Jibboo opener—who was expecting that? No one, because it had never happened before. I thought it worked very well in the opener slot—a mellow dance number suited for a summer show and soaking up the last of the afternoon sun (which was setting behind Page for the first few minutes so that I could barely look at that side of the stage). Plus, I appreciated that openers were again totally unpredictable after my three '09 shows had opened Chalk Dust, Chalk Dust, Wilson. Nice, breezy jam with some beautiful passages near the peak.
CHALK DUST. I love the one-two opening punch of atypical opener, typical opener. Standard 3.0 rocker—nothing crazy, but thoroughly enjoyable. And I do love the song.
FLUFFHEAD. Third song, first set! None of us could believe the vet's call had been correct (and let it be noted, '09 Fluffheads usually closed the first set or were used as second-set centerpieces, so it really was pretty out of the ordinary). This was the first of several show highlights for me—the whole song was executed just about PERFECTLY, allowing me to really appreciate the contours and dynamics of the composition, easily one of Trey's finest. I was totally, totally hooked onto every note. Excellent, passionate reading.
FUNKY BITCH. Wasn't QUITE as stoked as other people in my section for this one, but sure as hell not complaining. Lots of fun, and everyone's blues solos (especially Page's!) were just killer.
JIM. The first song I felt kind of "meh" about hearing, but as Phish reminded me many times throughout June '09, any song could prove unexpectedly awesome/perfect at any time. After dispatching the song proper, the jam got unexpectedly DARK—not quite going type II, but certainly it was anything but a formulaic Jim. It was like the jam DNA of Stash was bleeding through to the jam DNA of Jim—that's the best way I can describe it. A fresh, engaging run through a song I didn't even know I wanted to hear—thanks, Phish.
NICU. Always fun to spend some time with calypso Phish.
HORN. Wasn't expecting it at all. Very cleanly delivered, and kept the setlist interesting.
IT'S ICE. As soon we got the opening arpeggios, I knew this song was EXACTLY what I wanted to hear. Another one of my favorite Trey compositions, along with Fluffhead and SOAM—to me it just sounds like a plunge into, well, icy darkness. In the subterranean netherworld at the center of the song, Page laid down these Bathtub-esque cascades of dissonance that just sent chills down my spine. What's more, the darkness was perfectly reflected in and amplified by the heavy, threatening clouds which had returned overhead (and of course the full force of Kuroda's lights as the night set in). Just perfect. An easy show highlight.
BOUNCING / SPARKLE. I thought of how Charlie Dirksen used to single these two out as hopelessly jam-less songs in old-school phish.net reviews, and laughed that we got both of 'em in a row. I didn't especially mind, though; nothing could turn the set away from the aura of darkness surrounding it in my mind, and even these two songs sounded faintly sinister sandwiched between It's Ice and…
SOAM. Arguably my favorite Phish song. Arguably. I could hear this at every show and not mind. The song was executed perfectly, and the jam was just about everything you could ask… seething, screaming prog-trance-psychedelia out beneath the storm clouds. What else is there to say?
SET ONE RECAP. In case you couldn't tell, I thought this first set was pretty damn cool. Highlights were Fluffhead, It's Ice, and SOAM, plus the unique jam in Runaway Jim. Between 0 and 10, 5 being an average Phish set, I'd call it a 7.5. Generated plenty to talk about at set break.
DROWNED. Even though the clouds above never opened up (probably for the best!), I thought back to the deluge I encountered on the road, and I felt the cover couldn't have been dropped on a better evening (though, of course, it stayed in rotation for the rest of tour). The jam wasn't all that long (the whole song clocks in around 12 minutes), but what's most memorable is how it went WAY OUT WAY FAST. Immediately established the groove-oriented, dance-party tone of the second set, too. A rousing bit of uptempo funk before Trey throws down the riff for…
TWEEZER. Easily a favorite Phish jam, though unfortunately at the show I couldn't enjoy it fully because I was distracted by some overweight middle-aged assholes who had pushed their way into the front under some bullshit pretext and were trying to grind with ladies less than half their age. They were also talking loudly. During Tweezer. Not cool. I said something and that quieted them down a little bit. I was able to return my attention more fully to the stage by the time the song had dissolved into an ambient, loop-driven haze. [The tapes reveal a quality but not groundbreaking Tweezer that would soon be overshadowed by the Hartford and especially Merriweather Tweezers later in the tour. (Still probably better than most '09 Tweezers, Red Rocks and Miami being the most obvious exceptions.)]
TWIST. I really like this song, and was happy to hear it continue the late-'90s vibe of the second set, especially when, to my surprise and delight, Phish got serious about the jam again! This Twist jam was dirty and funky and featured absolutely demented playing from Mike (Mike really went off the deep end throughout this second set). An easy set highlight, and the third solid jam in a row…
PIPER. … soon to be fourth. Truth be told, this Piper wasn't all that exciting, particularly in light of my next Piper at Merriweather. Very much in the vein of most late-'09 Pipers: a bit of fast-paced G-minor funk. But there's really nothing wrong with that, and if they wanted to play Piper AFTER Drowned, Tweezer, and Twist, they were more than welcome to.
FREE. A typical 3.0 Free, but more cleanly delivered than some, and giving Mike time in the spotlight seemed particularly appropriate this set.
VELVET SEA. A fine ballad to hear in this spot. I'm pretty sure everyone knew what was coming by this point…
YEM. … and when it came, it was NO disappointment. To my ears, one of the best YEMs of 3.0, if not the best. Huge, gooey funky jam caps off a big-time dance-party set. Mike was totally the master of this song. Get the tapes and check this shit out—he goes apeshit all over this jam, throwing in some Boogie On-esque vaults up and down the fretboard. On top of it all, the vocal jam was consistently, truly INTERESTING, and kicked off a summer of similarly interesting vocal jams. All in all, YEM was the highlight of the set, and maybe the single-song highlight of the night. Emily agreed, too—the vocal jam blew her mind. You never know what'll hook a first-timer.
SET TWO RECAP. If you like non-stop groove Phish, you'll want to give this set a listen. For this late-'90s-loving phan, a very tasty block of music. Five of the seven songs are legitimately jammed, and, what's more, the weight of jamming falls fairly evenly, especially between the first four. Highlights were Drowned, Twist, YEM, and Mike. Probably another 7.5—at least as good as the first set, but in a very different way.
Encore was Bold as Love, which was a great farewell (till Portsmouth in two days, of course). The encore (famously, by now) did not contain a Tweezer Reprise, which had some people confused/outraged, but I didn't really mind—for god's sake, the 11/17/97 Tweezer isn't Reprised. I minded even less after the hilarity/awesomeness that ensued surrounding this controversial move at Hartford/SPAC. Encore doesn't really rock the show average, so I'm calling the whole show a 7.5, an early highlight of a fairly excellent tour.

Mr. Gordon dropped his (meat)balls on the crowd's faces as they left everyone with hershey squirts in their pants.
spectacular show that was well performed.
fun stuff...
Review by RagingMobOfJoggers
From www.onlinephishtour.com
Phish took the stage last night with a crowd still high off of what has just happened in the two nights leading up to show time. 6/13 would leave everyone with a mess in their pants--exactly what everyone came for. The first set had some great versions of some great songs, the second set was led by Mike for almost the whole thing.
The show opened with a great version of Gotta Jibboo--Mike came out early with it and Trey brought it to a great ending. Chalk Dust Torture really gets the crowd raging, though. Phish executed it so perfectly and Trey brought the end to a trilling finish-- one of the strongest versions of 3.0 Phish. Fluffhead played the most accurate of era 3.0 was great, the soaring end was gorgeous. Funky Bitch showcased Page for certain, but an unlikely star emerged from this song, too--MIKE. You can really hear him popping off in this song. So far this tour Mike has literally pounded the hell out of every song, and this is no different. Great great version.
After standard versions of Runaway Jim, NICU and Horn came a standard version of It's Ice--It is however worth noting that the It's Ice sounds perfect. The execution and Mike's bass is amazing in this version. It makes people think of old school Phish with their precise execution. The drums start Bouncin' before Trey's guitar leaves Ice--allowing Trey to make a cool downward turn into the begging of Bouncin'. The set closed with a dark and ambient Split Open and Melt--a la Cincy 09.
Phish came out for the second set with another 2009 style set opener--Drowned. It's a great version, however--Trey wails going into the jam and just when you think it's slowing down and may go into something else Mike kicks the floor out from under you. The thing drops into a new style of Phish funk. Like Number Line from the night earlier, this song show cases a new style of Phish jamming, albeit both different styles. Number Line was their new style of dark jamming and Drowned was their new style of funk. This song should really get you excited for Phish's future.
Trey starts up Tweezer after the dust settles from the funk. Like all the songs in this show, the Tweezer's composed part features Mike slapping the hell out of his bass again. The jam also features Mike's liquid bass--very dancable jam but not very creative. Out of the end delay loops and spaciness came the beginning of Twist Around.
When listening to this Twist all I could think is "oh, really Mike?!" Yet again Mike is DESTROYING the audience with this bass-led jam. For the first time in 3.0 Phish, Twist has found it's place again. Trey knows perfectly when to end this gem and after a brief pause in music comes Piper. Similar to its 2009 versions this one clocks in at about 10 minutes and doesn't disappoint. A very intricate rollercoaster of improvisation that sinks into Free. Going into the jam Mike drops some bombs--showing he remembers what Free used to be like--hopefully they continue making Frees funkier and funkier so they can once again to musical funk factory powerhouses and not just jam landing points.
Phish closed the set with the first You Enjoy Myself of 2010. During the lyrics section, as expected, Mike slaps the hell out of it. Coming off the trampolines, Trey takes a step back and noodles while Mike and Fishman create a solid back bone groove. Mike goes all over the place in this jam--it really shows how in tune Fish and Mike are with each other now. Really, this YEM jam is like one big bass & drums section with just some guitar and keyboards on top of it, until Trey decides to come to a peak reminiscent to MSG 09's YEM. Really impressive and original stuff. The real bass & drums section features more dripping wet Mike with Fish working off his lead perfectly.
The Bold as Love encore was certainly welcome too, perfectly wrapping up another stellar show.
I can't to review nTelos--sure the be an east coast throwdown!
Review by CarlBroll
Holy Shit yeah. Perfect YEM and the drowned blew me away. I was hoping for Bold as Love so bad and this was so amazing.
Review by Shadyside
Not a show review, but I'll try and be brief ... This would have been the only birthday show I would have had any chance to attend. If someone asked me before the show what I wanted to hear for my birthday, this is exactly what I would have said ... "Well, Fluffhead. Obviously. And SOAM. How about It's Ice. And throw in Sparkle too, because it's the only frequently played song up to that point that I haven't heard live. Oh, and why not just play them all in the first set." WTF?!? I've been to every Star Lake show, except 2003. Another WTF was I doing that was so freaking important to miss a show like that moment. I was at Hershey, Camden, and MPP in 2000. Philly in 1999. DC area in 1997 and 1999. State College in 1997. Polaris, Alpine Valley, and Deer Creek multiple times. Cleveland in 1998. Point being, well within my local area of shows I've attended, or even would attend after this show. Can't believe I thought there was something else that was so much more important than a birthday Phish show.
Review by GottaJibboo
There are several reviews of this show, so I won't go into the show itself. For a veteran this show was fun, but probably won't get too many second or third listens.
All I have to say is, how do they not play Sugar Shack?!? The setlist says they soundchecked it. Which I guess didn't go over too well to play it live.
Oh, and the Sooper Dooper Looper still remains a classic coaster.
Review by wrinkledraisin
this was my first show of the tour, and holy moly, what a great start to what is shaping up to be an incredible year!!! last year i hit festy, the garden run, then nye at miami, and this year just took off on the same trajectory where '09 left off. the vibe was great, the venue low key and uncrowded, and the threatening weather never unleashed the torrents. i can't believe how tight they are sounding right now, and this is mike's tour so far. ooey, gooey, dripping, dropping bombs. i was with my wife, third show, and we opted for the seats instead of the floor. great scene, plenty of space, and really great neighbors. sound was perfect. saw an unusually high number of wook takedowns, and i can't get this one out of mind. some guy carrying around his infant son, dressed in festy polo shirt!, is in a screaming, in your face, argument with one of the fat, prick-like security guys. can't even begin to imagine what they were at odds over, but it was pretty harsh scene. if you ever read this guy, if you're bringing your kids to the show, be a father first, and avoid controversy like the plague, whether it was your fault or not. walk away. but back to the pleasantness...fluff was the first set highlight for me, but i tought the soam at the end was a signal of the funk to come. second set had me from the opening notes of drowned, and was relentless. who knew my pleas for the tweeprise would be answered fourfold over the next few days!!!! i am so happy to have these guys back, and providing these points in time and space to let it all rip. just say no to haters!
Review by DPhresh
Mmmmmmm... Chocolate !
Phish keeps it old school playing a show where the newest song is 11 years old.
Chicago was tasty, but Hershey sweetens the deal making it the show to beat.
WOW ! Phish is not playing around on this tour kidz... Out of the gate HOT and now on FIRE !!!
Review by cristilclear
Although the music can be infinitely deconstructed and analyzed, I prefer to categorize my shows in two ways: solid perfection ('cause it always is) or mind-blowing transformation ('cause it is more often than not).
This show was solid, as usual. The highlight, for me, was the seamless transition between each and every song. My husband said, "Some of those songs didn't seem to go together, did they?" I disagree. The transitions marked perfection all night long. It was a mid-nineties sort of night in terms of song selection. Jibboo opener is rare and even if you don't like Velvet Sea, any song that brings one (including the band at Coventry) to tears is stellar in my book. Lots of Page songs, if you like Page. Solid.
Review by benkutnerduff
amazing show! blew me away in a hundred ways. i have been wanting to see YEM for a long time, which by the way, was perfect. it was incredible. the trampoline routine was just great! funky bitch, NICU horn its ice and fluffhead were incredible treats.
Review by jmjackson
The show kicked off with an interesting and unexpected Jibboo opener, which was also the "newest" song they'd play all night. Set one featured a fun song list and was well-played with a nice sense of energy throughout.
They really dug into set two with "jammy" song selections featuring some great improv and decent transitions. Good second set, and as YEMblog stated on Twitter during the show, "I dare u to find a set starting w drowned that isn't awesome". Couldn't have put it better myself.
Encore: Bold as Love -- always a treat. NO Tweezer Reprise, which I found pretty strange.
My overall take: two nice "throwback" sets. Overall, a solid show and well-played.
Review by bamorello
This was my first show and all I have to say is...WOW. YEM was the funkiest I've ever heard it!! The first set was really good but the second set was epic. Tweezer blew my mind!! Piper is one of my favs and it was killer. SOAM was a great way to end the first set. This was an incredible experience and I can't wait to see them again!!

The Chiefs are solidly favored to win based on simulations and the current odds. The projected score is Chiefs 32 and Colts 25, and Kansas City is winning 65% of the sims. The Chiefs are -222 favorites to win which has an implied probability of 69 percent. The current moneylines are holding steady compared to the opening lines which means bettors, so far, feel like these odds are fair. Kansas City won their lone matchup in recent seasons 30 to 14. The computer would set the spread at KC -7.5. Betting action seems to be evenly split and the line has not moved from its opening -5. Coming into this game as a favorite, the Chiefs are 6-5-0. As an underdog, the Colts are 4-4-0.
Both the simulations and the betting lines are on the Rams to win the game. The projected score is Rams 29 and Cowboys 23, with Los Angeles winning 64% of the time. The moneyline for the Rams is -323 which translates to 76 percent (chance of winning). People are betting more heavily on the Cowboys based on how the moneyline is moving. Los Angeles won their lone matchup in recent seasons 35 to 30. The computer would set the spread at LAR -6.5. Action seems to be evenly split and the betting line has not moved from its opening -7. The Rams have a record of 7-7-2 as a favorite. The Cowboys have a record of 6-3-0 as an underdog.
Both the simulations and the betting lines are on the Patriots to win the game. The projected score is Patriots 26 and Chargers 21, and New England is winning 61% of simulations. The moneyline for the Patriots is -200 which translates to 67 percent (chance of winning). Bettors seem to be favoring the Chargers since the moneyline is moving in their 'direction'. New England won their lone matchup in recent seasons 21 to 13. The computer would set the spread at NE -5. With more action on the Chargers, oddsmakers have moved the line from +4.5 to +4. Coming into this game as a favorite, the Patriots are 9-7-0. As an underdog, the Chargers are 4-1-0.
The odds and our simulations heavily favor the Saints over the Eagles. The projected score is Saints 32 and Eagles 23, with New Orleans winning 67% of the time. The moneyline for the Saints is -379 which translates to 79 percent (chance of winning). The betting public is not putting more action on one side vs the other (yet) based on the lack of line movement. New Orleans won their lone matchup in recent seasons 48 to 7. The projection based point spread is NO -9. Action seems to be evenly split and the betting line has not moved from its opening -8. The Saints have a record of 7-6-0 as a favorite. The Eagles have a record of 2-2-0 as an underdog. In their last match-up (NO won by 41) New Orleans covered the spread. The Saints were -7 favorites.

How do I manage different versions of Ruby and its associated gems in my system? The obvious answer is RVM. I have been using it for quite a while now and started to put the frequently used commands (fuc) and questions that keep cropping up in my mind in this page. I should come handy as cheatsheet or whatever when I need to quickly get the answer. I very humbly acknowledge that I have been perusing for answers at http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/ but felt the need for a one-stop-page to look for quick answers. So did this page happen. I will keep updating this page with all relevant questions/problems that I have/faced possibly with right answers/solutions.
What is the command to know if RVM is currently loaded in the opened shell?
What is the command to install a specific version of Ruby, say 1.9.1?
What is the command to use a specific version of ruby installed in rvm, let's say Ruby 1.9.1?
What is the command to find the version of Ruby currently in use by rvm?
What is the command to show currently installed rubies?
What is the command to find the installation directory of Ruby in use?
What is the command to use any Ruby not managed by RVM?
The above command tells the current shell to act as if you haven't run any "rvm use" commands yet.
What is the command to make one specific version of Ruby as default when a new terminal shell is opened?
What is the command to switch to RVM's user chosen default ruby?
What is the command to find which version/flavour of Ruby/JRuby is the default?
What is the command to display Ruby information for the current shell?
What is the command to switch to gems directory for current ruby?
What is the command to switch to the system gems directory?
What is the command to switch to the system user's gems directory?
What is the command to reset to pre-RVM state?
What is the command to uninstall RVM installed, say,1.8.7 version of Ruby?
What is the command to install gems from system gem dir (osx: /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8) using current ruby?


Dan Howes: "Top GOP Leaders To Big Three: Drop Dead"
In any other major auto-producing nation, politicians don't ignore the concerns of their auto industry. Not in France and Germany, where nationalism infuses economic policy. And not in Japan or South Korea, where manipulating currencies and erecting trade barriers is acceptable to help the home team — and Detroit isn't asking for either one.
Here? The president won't meet with the bosses of General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co. and the Chrysler Group. But he'll sit astride a Harley, visit a Nissan truck plant, herald the Toyota engine that won the Indy 500, campaign for Republicans and then have his press secretary swear there's no snub of Detroit.
Hell Howes, we don't even have anything snarky to add other than to let you know you should feel free to drop on by and throw down a couple of posts over here whenever you want. You 'da man, Dan!

The Latest: US Rep. Elijah Cummings' widow laments his death
In this Aug. 7, 2019, photo, Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., speaks during a luncheon at the National Press Club in Washington. U.S. Rep. Cummings has died from complications of longtime health challenges, his office said in a statement on Oct. 17, 2019. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky)
BALTIMORE (AP) — The Latest on the death of U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings (all times local):
The death of U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings early Thursday has made a widow of Maya Rockeymoore Cummings, the chair of Maryland's Democratic Party.
She released a statement, calling her husband "an honorable man who proudly served his district and the nation with dignity, integrity, compassion and humility."
She says Cummings "worked until his last breath because he believed our democracy was the highest and best expression of our collective humanity and that our nation's diversity was our promise, not our problem."
She says "It has been an honor to walk by his side on this incredible journey. I loved him deeply and will miss him dearly."
Maryland Rep. Elijah E. Cummings died early Thursday at Johns Hopkins Hospital due to complications from longstanding health challenges, his congressional office said. He was 68.
A sharecropper's son, Cummings became the powerful chairman of a U.S. House committee that investigated President Donald Trump, and was a formidable orator who passionately advocated for the poor in his district that encompassed a large portion of Baltimore.
As chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, Cummings led multiple investigations into Trump's governmental dealings. The investigations angered the president, who criticized the congressman's district in 2019 as a "rodent-infested mess" where "no human being would want to live."
Cummings responded that government officials must stop making "hateful, incendiary comments" that only serve to divide and distract the nation from its real problems.

Lunch in Vientiane Laos with Laap Sien or Minced Beef Salad and beef soup to go with the salad, made by my two aunts. The Minced Beef Salad was served with vegetables on a side and warm sticky rice.
I'm not much of a beef fan and I can go a year or two without eating it while living in Holland. But whenever I go to Laos, I would eat Minced Beef Salad at least once like before my plane takes off for good luck.

The widely held understanding of philanthropy in Africa recognizes and presupposes the flow of resources, effort and generosity largely in one direction: from outside of Africa into Africa. For centuries that notion has remained mostly unchanged. Africa has the reputation of being a foreign aid dependent continent, which is in reality far from the truth.
There is a growing body of evidence that Africa's wealth is increasing and high net worth Africans are sprouting across the continent at a remarkable rate. The 2014 Africa Wealth Report indicates that the number of high net worth individuals in Africa grew by over 150% between 2000 and 2013, more than double the global rate. This has resulted in the emergence of foundations and charities set up by Africans like Aliko Dangote, Mo Ibrahim, Tony Elumelu, Folorunsho Alakija and Graça Machel to name a few. Efforts are also being made by Africans in the diaspora to give back to the continent by forming organizations to fund and volunteer in Africa. This indicates that even larger supplies of effort and resources circulate both from Africans outside the continent to those at home as well as within the African continent itself.
This phenomenon is not just the result of increasing wealth on the continent and the growing numbers of corporate, private and family foundations, charities and non-profits cropping up every year; it is also growing among what I call 'everyday Africans'; the middle and lower class people who too recognize the needs within their communities and who mobilize their collective resources to be agents of change themselves. These range from feeding orphans in their communities to sinking boreholes for clean water.
The growing trend in African philanthropy has been the use of mobile money as a means of raising money for causes. In 2011, 'Kenya for Kenyans', a campaign to provide famine relief to over 3 million Kenyans, raised £6million from 250,000 individuals. Various platforms, like Afineety, M-Change and Startme have also been set up to facilitate crowdfunding for individuals and groups seeking funding for everything from capital or causes. Local philanthropists want to give back and are increasingly giving to causes they care about within their communities and responding to mass appeals. And digital resources are making it easier and trackable.
1. It is not a new concept: practices like Harambees, Tontines and Susu to mobilize funding within community support groups have existed across the continent for a long time.
2. It is growing fast. One need look at indicators such as the growth in remittances returned to the continent from Africans in the diaspora, which according to the World Bank exceeded Overseas Development Assistance by three to four times in 2013 alone.
3. It is difficult to capture.
4. It is different from the 'mainstream' as defined by the rest of the world. By virtue of our proximity to and familiarity with the challenges in Africa we inherently have a different and unique perspective on their origins and also on what the solutions should be.
This week I read a story about Afrilanthropy that moved me to my core. A grassroots organization in Zimbabwe, concerned about the growing problem of mental health in the country and the shortage or professional expertise to deliver help, has developed a program called "Friendship Benches" that mobilizes grandmothers who are trained to offer frontline problem-solving therapy for people battling anxiety and depression and sit on park benches in Harare and other cities to offer this service. The idea is ingenious. That's Afrilanthropy!
Every year, Charities Aid Foundation publishes the World Giving Index, and consistently African countries lag behind, whereas evidence exists that Africa is mobilized in large part by the generosity of its people towards each other. "The term "philanthropy" is not generally understood nor is it preferred in Africa – simply because it is not inclusive both in its scope and reach. The classical definition and indeed the very historical trajectory of philanthropy from the American and perhaps European understanding are not fully encompassing of the nature and character of what in Africa can be likened to "philanthropy," asserts Bhekinkosi Moyo. (Philanthropy in Africa, Encyclopedia of Civil Society, 2010).
I propose that we use the term Afrilanthropist, (which is slowly emerging, but not yet widely used) as it is more specialized and more directed, recognizing the smallest efforts put in by benevolent everyday Africans, differentiating it from that which comes from elsewhere. Across this continent, millions of people are change-agents in their communities, bringing hope to the underprivileged, yet they never feel the warm glow of a spotlight which recognizes their labors of love. They may not have the wealth, influence or resources and may be even going through the same as those they help but their impact supersedes their want for recognition and their sacrifices are no less important.
At JA Africa, we've begun inspiring the next generation of youth to develop a habit of giving through our programs. For example, in teaching financial literacy to young children, we also introduce them as early at an early age to the concept of donating, and elevating giving as a key component of financial health at par with budgeting, earning and investing. This donating can be of time, talent or treasure. The goal, among others, is to begin to develop the habit of giving.
My hope is that this will inspire the next generation of African philanthropists – of Afrilanthropists- to give back to Africa. I want the next generation to understand that among ourselves we, Africans, are change-makers and that the deepest most lasting change-agency must come from within.

To be honest, the thing I've loved the most this week is a four day weekend. We had friends over for dinner on Thursday, put up the tree and enjoyed a lazy/rainy day on Friday, ran errands on Saturday, and now we still have a whole Sunday left. That's what I call a good weekend.
Reading :: The Heart is a Lonely Hunter: layers! depth! wonder! Seriously, this was a delightful read. It was nuanced — the plot points aren't in your face, but they're right there if you look for them. It really came together beautifully and I highly recommend it. Next up, We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves: I bought this on a whim on our trip to Powell's, in all honesty because I thought the author was someone else. It turned out to be quite a happy accident because I thought this was an incredible read. The staff recommendation card at Powell's said to go into it without knowing a thing, which is what I did, and I wasn't disappointed. That's what I recommend you do, too, so I'm not going to say any more. Now I'm on The Argonauts, which, so far, is a quick and heavy read about gender fluidity, the oppression of heteronormativity, and love in a queer and unique relationship. It's equal parts science, studies, and anecdotes which keeps the pace quick and the subject matter engaging.
Spare Time :: Probably the same as everyone this week. Just cooking and eating in an endless cycle, but we also got our tree put up! It's never too early for Christmas cheer.
Etcetera :: We saw Bohemian Rhapsody over the weekend which was a delight. I didn't realize how much I didn't know about Queen/Freddie Mercury. Their music has been around and popular my entire life, but learning more about their journey as musicians was such a joy. I admire Freddie Mercury for taking his fashion risks and being so open about who he was — and I can imagine that many people feeling oppressed in the time period did, as well. It was a fantastic film.


It's been quite awhile since I posted an update from the thrifted dress up chest and I've still been adding to it like crazy. Just in case we decide to go to the opera I found some pristine white gloves, two fancy lady fans, and some tiny binoculars, although these finds throw into sharp relief that which our chest lacks: a decent monocle. If the Monopoly Man has an estate sale, let me know.
The gloves are actually ankle-length so they might be more suited to a tea party than an opera box, which is preferable anyway since tea parties are much more common in my household. The fans are actually going to come in pretty handy at Isobel's birthday as we're thinking of a tea party theme this year. We just have to be sure to keep the feathered one away from the cats.
The passports I'm saving until Isobel is old enough to know what they are. Then we can decorate them and add her photo and stamps to make it look official.
The treasure chest is a special find. They were originally made in Japan in the seventies and used as jewelry boxes. They are extremely collectible but we tend to fill them with jewels and fake coins and assorted necklaces. They make excellent pirate booty chests.
I can't pass on clip on ties. The baby blue one is brand new and it's for little boys, but the gaudy green one is a man's vintage tie from the 70s. They look great on Isobel and she usually wears them with a tutu. According to her tutus are a neutral item that goes with anything. Tutus are the new black.
I can't imagine what that necklace looked like when new. Did it have something in the center? It's solid and heavy and made of metal. I figure we could turn it into some sort of royal jewel or medal of some sort. Those racing numbers came from the Grace Bishop Scholarship race. She's not really into these yet, but once she understands what a race is and what the numbers mean she might enjoy them.
Zorro's sitting on the bridal veil I found for a dollar. When we played dress up my mom would occasionally let me wear her veil and it was the most special thing ever. Right now it's mostly part of Isobel's princess play. Zorro likes it because he's a princess, too.
Reuse Roundup is a segment which features a new and inventive use for thrifted or secondhand goods aside from the ordinary one you're used to thinking of. If you would like to participate in Reuse Roundup on your blog, please link back to this or any other Reuse Roundup post. I've posted the code to use on my blog's sidebar if you're into that sort of thing. You can post whenever you like, not just on the days that I do.
I think the necklace had a mirror in the center, because the when you looked at yourself in it, you would be "wearing" the crown.
Oh! Wendy, you genius, you!!

In a world of chemical health products, The Natural Dentist was one of the fi¬rst natural oral care product lines in the marketplace, but it was unknown to most consumers. They approached us asking for help getting noticed.
We started by redesigning the branding and packaging to compete in a competitive market where the consumer is concerned about the ingredients in their products. We also highlighted the positive results The Natural Dentist has on oral care for those in cancer treatment.
Within four years, The Natural Dentist became the standard for truly natural products that showed positive oral health improvements without the negative effects of chemicals.

Singularity (Fig. 6) can be assigned to each XYZ axis, which brings another level of spacetime formation – "holey sphere" (Fig. 10).
Since it holds true that the observer along with their interval origin can be located anywhere, the vector of XYZ axes can also be directed anywhere into infinity. Euclidean axes are determined by the origin of interval. Provided each axis is assigned to a corresponding singularity of the horizon of cognition, an infinite number of singularities will emerge in their relativistic indefinite form with a common "zero" point. The result of the horizon of cognition is a perfect, infinitely large sphere. This then is the projection of a finite into an infinite – a relation between three- and four-dimensional space. Infinite space suggests a seemingly finite appearance at the location of the interval origin. Like all spaces: one-, two-, three- and four-dimensional space do include each other. It is logical, after all, should something originate out of nothing in nonmanifestation where spacetime is not perceivable, and yet everything that exists is still present there in another form, this "nothing" has to pass through the one-dimensional space of the infini-tely small point towards the first division – duality in the two-dimensional space, and onwards.
Thus, the first duality emerges – the split into the first two points that we can call EI and UA – initial spacetime. In Josef Zezulka's Creative Four 1 , this period is extremely short. Those two primary points immediately divide into four, in accordance with the law of duality that itself must be self-applicable as well. This creates cornerstones of everything that exists in spacetime. We identify the cornerstones as the vowels E, I, U, A. We can talk about the genesis of the three-dimensional space. A serpent is symbolically eating its own tail; thus, initially there is the infinity that is unmanifested into time and space – "the undivided", and at the end there is the infinite "divided" spacetime, just before merging into its original form. This happens in an existential episode of universe, for us cycled by the causal horizon of cognition in an endless rhythm of universes.

The game initially came out on PS4 in Japan in 2017, and it's a remake of 2006's Yakuza 2 in the Yakuza 6 engine. When it arrives on PC, you should probably hold off until you've first played Yakuza Kiwami, which came to PC last month—and before you play that, you should jump into Yakuza 0, which is arguably the best in the series. Phil gave it a 90/100 in his review last year.
Yakuza Kiwami 2 continues the story of Kazuma Kiryu, and you can expect the same mix of punching, minigames and melodrama. The story revolves around the assassination of the Tojo Clan's chairman, and Kiryu's attempts to find a replacement in order to keep the peace between rival syndicates.
The ESRB rating summary gives you an idea of what to expect: "Characters use knives, pipes, and swords during combat and can trigger scripted special attacks (e.g., bashing heads into walls; stabbing enemies with a knife; ripping off nails and teeth with pliers)...Cutscenes also depict intense acts of violence: characters shot in the head; characters gunned down inside an elevator; a man executed with a shotgun." Yep, that sounds like a Yakuza game alright.
We don't have any word on a release date for Yakuza Kiwami 2 on PC, but I'll keep my eyes peeled.

← Finally! Mark Bennett Releases "The Home of Sheriff Andy Taylor"
New Release: Mark Bennett "The Big Valley" →
Closing Soon: Mark Bennett "Dream Houses" Exhibition on ARTSY
Image: Mark Bennett, Home of Dr. Fraiser Crane, 1998 / ink and pencil on vellum / 24 x 36 inches
Don't miss "Mark Bennett: Dream Houses – The Blueprint Drawings 1992-2017" – an exclusive online ARTSY exhibition focusing on the Mark Bennett unique original "SitCom" drawings of the last two decades just recently released from the artist studio. This presentation ends on September 25th.
Image: Mark Bennett, Town of Mayberry, 2015 / ink & pencil on graph vellum / 24 x 36 inches
Mark Bennett's (b. 1956, Tennessee) whimsical works engage with pop culture and celebrity to an extreme degree. His blueprint lithographs of Baby Boom era sitcoms and popular television series depict the ultimate pairing of flight of fancy and stoical logic; the purely imaginary floor plans grounded by the dry format of an architect's design. His works are both pleasingly nostalgic and vaguely disconcerting in their premonition of a society obsessed by television and celebrity culture.
For the past 25 years, Los Angeles-based artist Mark Bennett has made art firmly rooted in the collective American experience of television. His drawings and lithographs are "blueprints" of famous television houses from such classic sitcoms as The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Brady Bunch, and Perry Mason. Drawing these fictional dwellings from memory, Bennett documents the minutiae of the characters' lives by constructing their environments with a painstaking level of detail. His floor plans narrate the American Dream, charting not only the architecture, but also the subtext of our culturally accepted models for living.
You can view this exclusive ARTSY online exhibition of these works now by clicking on the follwing link below:

Image: Mark Bennett, Home of Blanche Devaeuraux, 2015 / ink & pencil on graph vellum / 24 x 36 inches
Born in 1956 in Chattanooga, the artist was a self-described "television addict" as a youth, watching and re-watching episodes until he had memorized the details of more than 45 situation comedies. The instant familiarity inspired in viewers who see these imagined spaces — "homes" where many Americans of the television generation, in effect, "grew up" — reflects the penetrating influence of this medium into our own private houses from the 1950s onward.
Unlike American Pop artists of the 1960s such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, who appropriated images from mass media as subjects for their work, Bennett has reconstructed spaces that were intended only to flicker on the screen. In labeling his seemingly straightforward blueprints with colorful details about the interiors, architecture, and inhabitants, he reflects on the idealized and stereotyped notions of American life as perpetuated by mass culture. He also makes us realize how often that these ideas are, in turn, mirrored in our own domestic architecture.

Class Issues, Not Race, Will Likely Seal the Next Election
by Joel Kotkin 09/07/2014
Recent events in Ferguson, Missouri and along the U.S.-Mexico border may seem to suggest that race has returned as the signature issue in American politics. We can see this already in the pages of mainstream media, with increased calls for reparations for African-Americans, and expanded amnesties for the undocumented. Increasingly, any opposition to Obama's policies is blamed ondeep-seated white racism.
Yet in reality, race will not define the 2014 election, or likely those that follow. Instead the real defining issue—class—does not fit so easily into the current political calculus. In terms of racial justice, we have made real progress since the '60s, when even successful educated minorities were discriminated against and the brightest minority students were often discouraged from attending college. Today an African-American holds the highest office in the land, and African Americans also fill the offices of U.S. attorney general and national security advisor. This makes the notion that race thwarts success increasingly outdated.
But at the same time that formal racial barriers have been demolished, the class divide continues to grow steeper than in at any time in the nation's recent history. Today America's class structure is increasingly ossified, and this affects not only minorities, who are hit disproportionately, but also many whites, who constitute more than 40 percent of the nation's poor. Upward mobility has stalled under both Bush and Obama, not only for minorities but for vast swaths of working class and middle class Americans. Increasingly, it's not the color of one's skin that determines one's place in society, but access to education and capital, often the inherited variety.
Worries about upward mobility have been mounting for a generation, and according to Pew, only one-third of Americans currently believe the next generation will do better than them. Indeed, in some surveys pessimism about the next generation stands at an all-time high.
But race is not the main determinant in looking to the future. The greatest dismay, in fact, is felt among working class and middle class whites, who are generally much more pessimistic about the future for themselves than are either African-Americans or Hispanics.
This pessimism—for all the discussion on campuses about "white privilege"—is even more deeply seated among young whites. According to a poll conducted by the left-leaning advocacy group Demos, only 12 percent of whites 18 to 34 believe they will do better than their parents, compared to 31 percent for African-Americans and 36 percent among young Hispanics.
This suggests that the issue of restoring upward mobility has more widespread resonance than a more narrow race-based approach. The political party that best addresses this concern will be in the strongest position to dominate the political landscape not only in 2014, but well beyond.
The problem for the Democrats in this regard: the record of the last six years. President Obama has presided over an economy that, even when healing, has done little to improve the economic conditions of most Americans. The incomes of middle class Americans have remained stagnant, or shrunk, even as we have seen record corporate profits, a soaring stock market, and huge run ups in elite property markets.
This failure may explain why some Democrats and progressives feel tempted to go back to race-related issues—as well as social concerns such as gay and abortion rights—to stir their political base. The president's suggestion of executive action on immigration would be in part to "galvanize" support among Latinos, many of whom can relate personally to the dilemma faced by the undocumented.
The stirring of resentment among African-Americans has become the critical component of race-based Democratic strategy. The president's embrace of hoary racial warlord Reverend Al Sharpton, a well-known charlatan and occasional anti-semite, as his "go to guy" demonstrates the administration's willingness to use the tragedy of the Ferguson shooting case to rally African-American voters for the off-year election.
These tactics may have some political efficacy, but it's doubtful that '60s progressive bromides of race-based politics or calls for redistribution can seriously address inequality or poverty. Certainly the idea that greater dependence on government handouts—the main social focus of modern progressives—has not aided minority uplift or promoted upward mobility. The Great Society may have reduced poverty initially, but in the past decade poverty rates have risen to the highest level since the '60s.
If anything, under the most progressive-dominated regime since at least the New Deal, things have gotten even worse. African-American youth unemployment is now twice that of whites while according to the Urban League, the black middle class, once rapidly expanding, has essentially lost the gains made over the past 30 years.
In the same vein, Hispanic income also has declined relative to whites. Latino poverty rates now stand at 28 percent. The administration's leniency that permits impoverished kids to flock here from Central America may make moral or political sense, but its actual impact on communities could prove problematical.
Indeed one has to question the viability of new mass immigration of poor, poorly educated kids at a time when poverty among Latino children already here has risen since 2007, according to the American Community Survey, from 27.5 percent to 33.7 percent in 2012, an increase of 1.7 million. Given their own economic problems, and the vital need to improve their educational performance one has to wonder whether African-Americans or even many Latinos, as opposed to the activist base, actually would welcome a fresh infusion of impoverished refugee children from Central America into the country. A recent Pew survey found that not only half of all whites, but nearly two-fifths of African Americans and roughly a third of Hispanics approved of increased deportations of the undocumented.
Some Latino and African-American Democrats have already departed from the party line on immigration. Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar, a moderate border district Democrat, has called "the border incursion" "Obama's Katrina moment" and he is co-sponsoring legislation with Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas to speed up the deportation process for kids detained at the border.
Perhaps even more serious are divisions among Democrats on key economic and regulatory issues. In California, for example, Latino Democrats, particularly from the hard hit interior, have revolted against their party's "cap and trade" policies, which will lead to ever higher energy costs, and threaten industries that tend to employ working class Latinos. Similarly some unions in the interior, notably the Teamsters and Laborers, have taken strong positions favoring energy development, notably the Keystone pipeline, in sharp opposition to the president's core supporters.
And then there's the reality that blue states—with all the usual progressive policies—suffer the widest gap between the classes. Indeed, notes demographer Wendell Cox, New York City now has an income distribution that approaches that of South Africa under apartheid.
Similarly a recent Brookings report found the greatest income disparity in such bastions of progressivism as San Francisco, Miami, Boston, Washington D.C., New York, Oakland, Chicago and Los Angeles. Oddly enough, minorities seem to do better, relative to whites, in states that have had more conservative governance, in part because they also tend to have lower costs of living.
This disconnect between progressive aims and reality stems from the shift in the Left's class and geographic base. Once dependent on industrial and construction workers, many of them unionized, the party increasingly depends for support from green activists, urban land speculators, and "creative class" workers in expensive regions where regulatory constraints tend to discourage industrial and housing growth. In contrast many red state metros such as Houston, Oklahoma City, Salt Lake, and Dallas-Ft. Worth tend to produce more higher paid, blue collar growth.
Given these realities, perhaps progressives need to move away from symbolic issues, such as reparations and racial name-calling, and instead directly address middle class and working class concerns. Yet this creates a potential for internecine conflict with other key party constituencies, which seem more interest in suppressing middle class aspirations than fulfilling them.
It should be clear by now that regulatory and tax regimes imposed in blue states tend to stunt middle and working opportunities, with the worst effects on minorities and working class whites. Blue-state progressive can whine about race, inequality, and poverty with the best of them, but they would contribute far more if they started to address these issues with something other than well-rehearsed indignation and rhetoric.
But while progressive attempts to address the class divide have been less than successful, can the Republicans fill the breach? Already working class whites are arguably the GOP's strongest base and Republicans should be able to exploit class resentment toward the increasingly gentrified Democratic leadership. Yet to date, they have shown a remarkable inability to do so, in part due to the ideological constraints and racial baggage of the increasingly Southern-oriented GOP.
Republicans, particularly those closest to Wall Street, also seem to have a problem even admitting the existence of the class issue. Conservatives economists repeatedly downplay ever greater insecurity about jobs, the affordability of decent housing and generally lower net worths for all but the highly affluent. Convinced that any discussion about these issues constitutes unseemly "class warfare," the right's intellectual leadership seems incapable of addressing these concerns.
What would a policy that addresses inequality look like? Some steps would offend some Republicans, such as restarting a modern version of the Depression era Works Progress Administration. Instead of a stimulus directed at government workers and crony-capitalists, as Obama employed in 2009, a program that brought young people into the work force would help them gain needed practical skills while repairing our increasingly woeful infrastructure.
Other reforms would include a major overhaul of the tax system, particularly equalizing capital gains and income taxes. Whatever the benefits we may have seen from lower capital gains rates in the past, the current, incredibly unequal recovery undermines the legitimacy of this approach. Rather than stir investment and create middle income jobs, capital gains have become a ruse for the rich to get even richer, largely through asset inflation. Companies, notes a new Harvard Business Review study, have used the low interest bonanza and access to cheap money to boost profits, not by expanding employment but by buying back their own stock.
Ultimately, the best way to address class concerns, as well as those of minorities, would be to spark strong economic growth, particularly in the energy, manufacturing, and construction sectors, which tend to offer higher wage employment for them. Both Latinos and African-American made their biggest economic strides when the economy was booming under Presidents Reagan and Clinton, both of whom have been criticized for "trickle down" policies.
A growth agenda is a winning one for the party that embraces and effectively advocates it. A recent analysis (PDF) of public opinion by the Global Strategy Group found that although roughly half of Americans believe inequality per se is a major issue, more than three-quarters believe that faster economic growth should be the main priority.
In the old Democratic Party, from Truman to Clinton, this approach would be an easy sell. A policy that encouraged building new water facilities, expanding domestic energy , manufacturing and construction, particularly single family homes, would have widespread appeal to working and middle class voters. But a growth agenda likely would face much opposition from the president's green gentry base, who seem perfectly content with an economy that rewards insiders, venture capitalists, and companies that employ few people, largely the best educated and positioned.
Republicans could seize the momentum here, but to do so would require shedding some ideological baggage, as well standing up to some of their more ruthless backers on Wall Street and the corporate community. Similar a return to a more traditional growth oriented liberalism would help hard pressed Democrats, particularly in red states, who desperately need to recapture some of their traditional working class backers. It will be here, in the nexus of policy and class, not racial posturing, the political future of the country may well be determined.

Winning is everything for Democrats
Submitted by Inkling on Tue, 09/09/2014 - 07:03.
Keep in mind that with the Democratic party winning is everything. The party does not want:
1. A growing, prosperous middle-class
2. Happy, stable marriages with children
3. Good will between races
Because all of those factors make people more likely to vote Republican. It wants a depressed economy for as long as it can get away with that, single mothers, and racial tensions because it can use all those to feed the anger, envy and hatred it uses to win elections.
Forget any nostalgia about the old Democratic party. I grew up in the segregated South. Feeding anger, envy and hatred was the party's primary tactic for winning. Until I was in the eleventh grade, the official logo of the Alabama Democratic party, a logo that filled every ballot, was a rooster crowing "White Supremacy for the Right."
About 1965, LBJ--an experienced, die-hard Southern politician--nationalized the brutal, us-verus-them tactics of the Southern branch of the party to rescue it (in his mind) when the party could no longer get away with keeping Southern blacks from voting. In the past, the national party was careful to keep those it targeted for hate small and elusive, the so-called 'country-club Republicans. For instance, it drew in Catholic votes without alienating most Protestants. It attracted factory workers without attacking small businessmen.
Since then it has increasingly set large groups against other large groups. To win the women's vote, it attacks men. To win the black vote, it attacks working-class whites (such as police). Most recently, to win the votes of the secular affluent, it has target religious people. Even worse, it's attempting to add illegal Hispanic immigrants to its voting base even though they steal desperately needed votes away from poor blacks. Only by keeping a black elite compliant (no hard to do), can retain black votes.
All of that is an increasingly dangerous strategy. Even worse, all that anger, envy and hatred is bad for the country. But of course the party doesn't care about the latter, only the former. Because, as I said, the Democratic party will do anything to win elections. Understand that, and you understand the party's core value since its founder, Andrew Jackson, stealer of land from the indians.

Where can we go?

Where can we go to leave the deadbeats behind? Ultimately this will happen just like it did in Detroit. I've served in the military and loved my country, but I would leave it in a minute for any nation that offered more freedom and required more personal responsibility.
The race baiters can make all the excuses they want for the failures of individuals to succeed, but individual success or failure results from individual choices.
When a person is willing to risk their lives crossing the Sonoran desert with a gallon jug of water to get into this country it makes the point of the race baiters absolutely moot. If you were born in the United States of America and you can't make it here just look in the mirror to see whose fault it is.
Boy, I hope you're right.

Boy, I hope you're right. But it's so easy to make race the issue, as in Kristoff's two columns on "whites" not getting it. Kristof's not getting it. The problems poor blacks face are the same ones poor whites face. The poor, the dumb, the clueless -- they are "discriminated" against everywhere. Dumb rights! That's what we need. Stand up for the left hand side of the Bell Curve. They are people too. Some of them might even be your grandchildren.

Rep. Kennedy Postpones Visit to MA Mosque With Terror Ties
by Oren Litwin
https://www.meforum.org/islamist-watch/52498/rep-kennedy-postpones-visit-to-ma-mosque-with
Massachusetts Congressman Joe Kennedy was due to visit the Sharon branch of the Islamic Center of New England (ICNE) last week, brushing aside serious concerns raised to his staff. My organization, Islamist Watch, has provided them with the pertinent information regarding the organization's past links to terrorism and continuing association with extremists.
Fortunately, Rep. Kennedy was obliged to postpone the visit due to the chaos surrounding the proposed health care bill. He now has a second chance to do the right thing.
ICNE traces its origins to a group of Lebanese families who immigrated to the United States in the early 1900s. In 1934 they founded the Arab American Banner Club, a social organization; in the 1950s this organization commenced building a mosque, which was completed in 1962.
After relying on informal community leadership for years, in 1982 ICNE hired its first imam, Talal Eid. During the late 1990s, as Imam Eid later recalled, the leadership of ICNE became radicalized under the influence of prominent members of the Muslim Brotherhood's American wing: the Muslim American Society (MAS).
Chief among them was Dr. Abdulbadi Abousamra, president of the ICNE board, who was also vice-president of MAS-Boston. In 1998, Abousamra forced Eid to accept an assistant imam, Hafiz Masood. Masood commonly gave "fiery sermons easily interpreted as promoting violence."
In 2005, Abousamra forced Eid out, replacing him with Masood.
Perhaps Abousamra knew then what Eid and the community at large did not: that Masood's brother was the founder of two Pakistani terrorist groups: Jamaat ud-Dawa, and Lashkar-e-Tayyiba -- the group that carried out the 2008 assault on Mumbai that killed 164 people.
Indian officials have accused Masood of using his position at ICNE to raise funds from Boston Muslims for his brother's terror groups. Not surprisingly, after Masood was arrested for visa fraud and deported in 2006, he resurfaced in Pakistan as the spokesman for Jamaat ud-Dawa.
Meanwhile, Abousamra's own son, Ahmed, left the U.S. in 2004 to join al-Qaeda, and is now on the FBI's Most Wanted List for heading up ISIS's social-media efforts. Abdulbadi Abousamra himself recently left behind a successful medical practice to move to Doha.
In recent years, ICNE has made visible efforts to present a more moderate image. Its current imams, Khalid Nasr at the Quincy branch and Abdur Rahman Ahmad at the Sharon branch, certainly talk the talk. Imam Ahmad made headlines in 2015 for sending a condolence letter to the Israeli town of Alon Shvut in the wake of a brutal terrorist attack there. Moreover, the organization has launched high-profile countering extremism programs designed, as ICNE youth committee member Nabeel Khudairi put it, to "protect young people from making bad decisions."
But seeking to dissuade the sons and daughters of congregants from making the "bad decision" of joining ISIS isn't the same thing as countering the extremist ideology that gives rise to ISIS. On this front, ICNE's "reform" has been notably lacking.

Q: ModuleNotFoundError on a file in a (working) package when trying to import a class on another folder Abridged:
When importing a class (in the example below, c2) from another package (folder1), where the imported class (c2) imports a class (c1) from the same package (folder1), the program (file2) raises a ModuleNotFoundError on the import of c1 on c2, even when the import already worked in the package.
Extended:
The example have the following file structure
project/
├── folder1/
│   └── __init__.py
│   └── file1.py
│   └── file2.py
└── folder2/
    └── file3.py

where the files in folder1 contain the following classes.
__init__.py is left empty.
(Notice that there's no import error on file2.py)
# file1.py

class c1:
    def __init__(self, attr: int = 0):
        self.attr = attr

# file2.py

from file1 import c1

class c2:
    def __init__(self):
        self.attr = [c1() for _ in range(10)]

the file in folder2 imports the class c2
# file3.py
import sys
sys.path.append('../')  # to recognize folder1 as a package

from folder1.file2 import c2

but when I try to run file3.py the import of c1  made in file2.py raises ModuleNotFoundError
$ python3 file3.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/user/project/folder2/file3.py", line 4, in <module>
    from folder1.file2 import c2
  File "/home/user/project/folder2/../folder1/file2.py", line 1, in <module>
    from file1 import c1
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'file1'

Notice that i CAN import c1 on file3.py with the analogous import from folder1.file1 import c1 but can't make it work with c2.
(Of course, this is an abstraction of the actual classes where i found this problem, the actual folder layout is important, but the problem is the same.)
How can I import c2 on folder2/file3.py?
My attempts were trying to import c1 before c2 on file3, also tried to import   c1 (and/or c2) in folder1/__init__.py but didn't work, also tried to make folder2/ a package and make the import in its __init__.py but didn't work. Of course i (probably) could simply concatenate file1 and file2  or try to create a package for file1 but i believe I'm doing something wrong on the imports and there must a simple way to solve this.

A: Add the same correct full path to file1.py in file2.py:
    from folder1.file1 import c1

When file2.py trying to import file1.py, it trying to import from ('../') where no file1.py, only /folder1 and /folder2.
And you can delete __init__.py if you are using python 3.3+.

Blueprints is a Vertigo Starts Residency (2018-2019) in collaboration with AMORE: A distributional MOdel of Reference to Entities, a computational linguistics lab using deep learning at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona.
At the forefront of the AI revolution is deep learning, which uses algorithms inspired by the structure and function of human brain, called artificial neural networks. The AMORE team is developing one such computational system that can learn its own representations from data in order to explore the phenomenon of reference in language. In the process of this self-learning, however, can a world view be discerned? Can personality emerge from actions in machines, just as it does in humans? Blueprints as a project responds by looking to the ways to conceive personality as an inevitable by-product of the linguistic learning process through building an archive of an 140 page sketchbook, preparatory mixed-media works and six large mixed media works on paper (80x100cm).
'Blueprints no. 5', which interrogates a potential dissociative state and motherless-ness: AMORE was self-learning from CHILDES transcripts of mothers talking to their infants (content including: 'is your shoe tasty? Mommy doesn't chew on hers' and 'here's your dollie') and yet is not given any substantive connection to the meaning contained in the referents (e.g. 'hers' and 'yours) or physical experience (e.g. 'tasty'): connotations, both conceptual and visual, of confusion between noise and meaning become paramount.

The Pixies Are Back With Fresh Music!!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Mar 26th, 2014
Hi, Jana here,
The Pixies are back! Well, most of The Pixies, anyway. The Boston alt-rock band with a sound that's described as an unorthodox marriage of surf music and punk rock is dropping some new music at the end of April. This marks the first studio album since 1991 when they released 'Trompe le Monde'.
Black Francis, Joey Santiago and David Lovering are the 3 constants in the bands 28 year lifespan. Co-founder Kim Deal left the band last year. In the wake of Deal's departure six days into the recording of new material, the band filled that void, albeit temporarily, with Kim Shattuck of 'The Muffs'. Paz Lenchantin has now taken up the empty bass chords for the touring schedule.
Some things are new, like Lenchantin, while other things, like their long-time producer Gil Norton and graphic artist, Vaughan Oliver, are comfortable favorites. The upcoming album was recorded in October 2012 at Rockfield Studios in Wales and includes the single, 'Bagboy' along with songs from the band's other albums.
"We started seriously talking about recording new music about four years ago," Pixies drummer David Lovering explained. "New music seemed like something we just had to do, we just couldn't continue to go out and tour without anything new. So the talk evolved into writing and recording, and we're all very happy with the way everything worked out."
'Indie Cindy' will be available in several different formats including a typical 12-song single-CD, vinyl, and on iTunes, there is a bonus 13-track set recorded during the band's recent North American Tour. You can now refresh your love of 'The Pixies' with some fresh toonage.
