"Great recipe. Mine took about 4 hours on high in my Crock pot. Just the right amount of salt."
"Excellent! I am not a huge fan of macaroni salad, but this was really good! Make extra dressing, as the pasta will soak it up after it has been in the fridge."
"Pretty good. I used all the listed ingredients, just tweaked the amounts for a 20 oz. package of ground pork. I used the sausage to top homemade pizza (number 479921)."
"Very tender, good flavor. I think they need to be a little fluffier so I will bump up the baking powder next time. Overall a good basic recipe that you can tweak a lot."
"This is the first jelly I have made and it was great! I used Hungarian peppers only. I used about 21 peppers and left the seeds in about half of them. Very spicy. I only used one 3 oz pack of Ball liquid pectin and it was plenty! My batch did not make 6 half pints (only about 5) . I also did not strain mine. I let it boil for 5 minutes, put it i..."
"Excellent! I used only 1 tsp of allspice because 2 sounded like a lot. Next time I will try 2 tsp. I also finished mine in the crock pot, just like a previous review (strawberrybird). The meatballs were very tender! Will definitely make again"
"This is the best banana bread I have ever had. It is very moist and tender! I used butter instead of oil and walnuts instead of pecans. It is sweet, but not overwhelming; next time I'm going to try reducing the sugar a bit. I also increased the cinnamon and vanilla to 2 tsp each. A definite keeper!"
"This is a great way to make bread! I make this bread at least once a week in my cast iron dutch oven. (Don't use Le Creuset - the plastic knob will melt.) I have changed the recipe slightly. I use 3 cups bread flour, 2 tsp sea salt, 1 tsp active dry yeast, and 1 1/2 cups warm filtered water."
"This was great! Shred the meat and put under the broiler until brown and crispy!"
"This was a great way to cook shrimp because the shrimp goes into the cold water and gets more time to gain flavor as it comes up to a boil. I used 3 cups water, 1 tsp sea salt, 1/2 tsp chicken buillion, 1 /2 tsp pepper, and 1 tsp Mrs. Dash lemon pepper blend. It was good warm, but the flavor improved with chilling. I didn't make the cocktail sa..."

My personal motto for practising during the final periods of preparation is: "Every note, every day"
This week I have the final two of four performances of the Brahms Violin Concerto in Houston, Texas – I've done all the preparation, it's just a case of maintenance and refining any details I wasn't happy with in the first two. As usual in situations like this, I spend most of my time practising something else – in this case, Philippe Manoury's Synapse for violin and orchestra – I'm giving its US premiere next month. It's a very difficult and complex piece and I'm focusing on getting the more intricate bits under my fingers. I practise sections, often under tempo, and then start stringing them together as they feel more comfortable.
Before each of the Brahms concerts I head over to the hall and play through the concerto in my dressing room. My personal motto for practising during the final periods of preparation is, 'Every note, every day.' I'm not one for warming up as such. I start with the second movement – which will get me stretched out and limber – then move on to the outer movements. Playing through the piece will get me warm and ready, while at the same time, focus my mind on the piece, and only the piece. It rinses any other repertoire I'm working on out of my mind.
After Houston, I return home to Florida for a couple of days. I'm feeling increasingly comfortable with the Manoury, and try to play it through (from beginning to end) – this allows me to see where the most troublesome parts are. It also gives me a sense of pacing for the work.
After working on the Manoury, I move on to the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto, which I'm preparing for a concert next weekend in Oklahoma City. I have played the work a lot and have a clear idea of what I want to do, so it's just a case of cleaning it up.
I have a couple of recitals next week. I'm playing Tartini's 'Devil's Trill' Sonata, Beethoven's 'Spring' Sonata, four Paganini caprices, and either the Franck or Elgar sonata, depending on the city. I focus on some of the more treacherous bits – the cadenza in the 'Devil's Trill', the tricky bits from the last movement of the Beethoven, the whole of Paganini's fifth caprice and the 10ths and left-hand pizzicato of the 24th, and some of the big shifts in the Elgar. I'll get into my 'every note' routine once I've performed the Tchaikovsky.

This conversation is closed.
Would you call yourself a feminist? Why or why not?
Is there something about feminism you don't agree with?
Is the problem you perceive with the people in the movement or the idea behind feminism?
What are the most important priorities for feminism today, what are the least?
What would feminism be like if you had your way?
Is there something you'd like to propose instead that is altogether not feminism?
Sep 1 2012: A feminist is "an advocate or supporter of the rights and equality of women". That being said I guess I am.
However, I would rather consider myself a advocate of human / equal rights for all.
The problem with movements is that they are totally focused on one issue. If I live my life with the intention of treating everyone with dignity I would not have to focus on one issue.
All the best. Bob.
Sep 1 2012: I don't have anything against feminism, I think the fight for woman rights is supposed to continue. People don't realize that just because people are equal under law, social hierarchies still exist. There is evidence that women on average have lower incomes than men in western society or that women tend to get less prominent positions (women president for instance). Most of the time whether you move up in your work or whether you get hired for a job is solely at the discretion of managers and CEOs, so here personal bias and discrimination can influence choices. While I agree that feminism is necessary for women, I am still not concretely a feminist since I think feminism challenges tensions between male/femal domination instead of domination in general. Some feminists even buy into mainstream political ideology, they are just looking to establish an equal influence of both men and women within the confines of mainstream ideology. For me personally that's not enough since I don't follow a mainstream political ideology.
Sep 1 2012: "While I agree that feminism is necessary for women, I am still not concretely a feminist since I think feminism challenges tensions between male/femal domination instead of domination in general."
Beautifully put. The only thing all humanity should be united against, is domination, in general.

Sep 3 2012: I am a feminist because there should be no question of equality in society - the natural differences between male and female biology (any race for that matter) means nothing in the world we should be striving to build.
The fact women have to fight for rights they already deserve is disturbing and really does shows how masculinity has supervened on many of the thoughts and behaviors in history... Even in scientific research.
When it comes down to it, the movements and thoughts are feminism because masculinism is so predominant, otherwise it would just be practicing good humanism.
Sep 3 2012: Hi Matthieu,
This is common when we are trying to change a paradigm...sad but true!
The first "modern movement for womens rights started in France in 1780-1790s.
Womens suffrage movements started around the world in 1888, 1893/94, 1904.
Women were not granted the right to vote in the US until 1920. New Zealand was the FIRST country to grant women the right to vote in 1893....HOORAY for NZ!
A similar story happened with blacks....
We had the Declaration of Independence (all men are created equal and free) adopted in 1776. OH...and most of the authors and signers of that document owned hundreds of slaves.
Freedom for all people was reinforced again with the 15th amendment in 1870....100 yrs later!
The Voting Rights Act gave blacks the right to vote in 1964....
Of course there were lots of other laws and actions in between all this, but hey....look how long it took even AFTER our leaders decided that all people should be equal and free!
So, now, some folks think this issue is all settled and ended, everybody is free and equal, when in fact it is still changing.....hopefully for the better.
Sep 8 2012: Hooray for NZ all right!!!
Your comment caused me to do a little exploration Obey.....thanks:>)
In the 1860s European politicians felt that the Maori should be assimilated into the main stream to ensure lasting peace. (This is interesting to think the Europeans wanted to "assimilate" the Maori, considering it was the Maori's home!!!). They also rewarded those Maori who fought alongside the crown. In 1867, Maori men (21yrs. of age) were elegible to vote.
That, compared to what happened in the US is amazingly wonderful!!! Consider that some of the black people who served in the military in WWII were not even recognized as taking part until years later!!!
The state I live in (Vermont) was the first state in the US to have a woman legislator, first woman judge, first women governor, first to legalize civil unions and same sex marriage, etc. It seems that Vermont has a different "group" of people than the rest of the country? It seems like NZ has a different "group" of people than other countries?
My question is....what causes this difference? Why can people in some areas NOT see beyond their own limited beliefs, when others progrss in a more benificial way?
Sep 1 2012: I agree with you, Matthieu, that claiming that there are no physical differences between men and women is not reasonable, as there are obvious differences. What's more, there are obvious differences among men and among women, with lots of overlap in the distributions almost regardless of what attribute you measure.
What is important in terms of opportunities for people is that teachers, parents, employers and so forth not draw invalid conclusions about what people are like or can do on the basis of gender or other broad category.
Not only has there been plenty of evidence over time that humans do draw incorrect conclusions based on stereotypes of one kind or another, but even legitimate statements about what some category of person may be like "on average" tend to interfere with opportunities for people who may be not particularly like the average.
Sep 1 2012: Hi Fritzie and Matthieu:>)
I do not call myself a feminist because I do not like labels, and what you are both touching on in this part of the conversation is exactly why... stereotypes. I have a great deal of admiration for the women who sacrificed so much early in the feminist movement, and I believe an effort like that needed to happen for women to get basic rights.
Now, however, the movement has taken on a life of its own for some people, in some respects, and sometimes, it feels like we're leaning too far in the other direction. I also know that sometimes happens before we find the balance.
As you point out Fritzie, we are all people, and I believe all people should have the same rights without prejudice or violation of human rights.
Nice to "see" you Matthieu:>)
Andres Aullet 10+Sep 13 2012: Hello Matthiew, great question.
I must say that i am a feminist.
Not because i think women are weaker or because i think women in general need to be helped, or because they need more encouragement than men.
Just with the fact that they can carry our species' offspring in their wombs for nine months and then deliver a brand new human (mind you, most of the time with minimal help from men), they command my deepest respect.
However, this very fact of imbalance, where the brunt of the physical and emotional load of keeping our species going is carried by women, can create and perpetuate imbalances in many other spheres of our social interactions.
Now, I do not think the feminism I advocate for is one that aims to reverse positions, to grant women the powers to impose back on men similar imbalances, as a "payback" or "revenge".
Let me try an analogy: If i happen to hurt my arm and start bleeding, what is the first thing I do? Well, I could request a transfusion to give back to my body the same amount of blood i am losing... or I can just grab a piece of clean cloth and apply pressure to my wound until it stops bleeding.
These imbalances i see in society, making some aspects of life more difficult for women are to me like those wounds. We don't need to simply compensate for those imbalances by giving something else in return. All we need to do is to stop the bleeding until the wound heals.
Feminism as I see it is not a "men vs. women" issue. We must all be in this together. After all, I am thankful that it is not a "men vs. women" issue... if 99% of the us disappeared from the planet, women would have no trouble keeping our species going... but if 99% of the women disappeared from the planet, we would certainly be in deep trouble.
Sep 4 2012: I'm for equal treatment, freedom, responsibility, an end to negative discrimination in general whether it is Race, Sex, Sexuality etc.
In a previous role I corrected some pay inequalities where my predecessor had deliberately paid married men with kids more than single women for the same level role. Which just supports the argument that the journey/battle is still under way.
I suggest one issue from the male perspective is confusion given not all women want the same thing. Some women want to be treated as equals. Others, sometimes due to cultural or religious perspectives prefer to submit to their husbands. Then just the general issues whereby one women gets angry if you try to pay for dinner, another thinks the man should pay.
My current workplace has programmes to support more women in senior roles and flexibility etc and diversity in general. There is wide support for allowing Mothers to work part time, no sexist language or behaviour etc. But some dissatisfaction where women are promoted or protected and it seems their sex was a factor, rather than pure merit.
I suggest we might benefit from focusing more on discussing and working through these complexities.
Sep 8 2012: I agree Obey, that it is sometimes difficult to understand what each and every person wants at any given time, even with relatively small issues like who is going to pay for a meal, or opening doors. There are women who get really upset when a man tries to open a door for her. I love it, IF the man get's to the door first and holds the door for me, it feels lovely. If I get to the door first, however, I do not stand there and wait...I open the door!
I agree that we need to work through the complexities, and to do that effectively, we need to be clear as individuals in ourselves what is, and is not important. Is it important to get angry at a man because he wants to hold the door? Not in my perception! I like those kinds of gestures, and I do not depend on, or expect them. There are a lot of little things like that, which we act and react upon because of our own ingrained feelings and beliefs. We need to KNOW OURSELVES and be open to change....or not.....as we choose!
Sep 3 2012: Here's something someone should do : build women's pianos.
There are numerous wonderful female pianists. But they either have large hands or have learned to adapt to an instrument designed for adult men.
I play it, but I play the crap out of the keys. I don't do well with the pianissimos. Perhaps the keys are wide enough for women not to completely shame their male counterparts.
Someone should build a woman's piano at once.
Anne Thull
Sep 3 2012: Oh Yes....that term slipped my mind...."women's lib"!
I only had a challenge with equal pay one time in my life, and that was not about feminism or women's lib. It was more about having enough courage to speak up for myself. Maybe that's what Eduard (E G) means about powerful....have the courage and self-confidence to speak up for ourselves?
I worked in a medical office owned and operated by two oral surgeons. I and another young woman worked as secretaries, book-keepers and surgical assistants. The practice expanded and another woman was brought in to share the work load. Everything was good. Then another young woman was brought in and she had just graduated from practical nursing school, and wanted more pay. Even though she had practical nursing education, we had to train her. When we (the 3 originals) found out she was getting paid more, we each went to the doctors and told them if our experience is not worth something to you, so long!!! We were all good at what we did, and had often been offered jobs in different medical practices, so we had a little bit of "power" as E G might say! OH MY....that was 45 years ago....another life time!
Many woman literally fought for equality throughout history. We now have laws which require and encourage equality, things have changed a bit, and there is still room for change in some respects. Those who are not treated equal, need to be empowered to speak up for themselves with a little boost of encouragement from all of us.

Sep 2 2012: Anne,
Did you KNOW you were a feminist? Did you think about that as a young person? I'm just asking because I never thought about it when I was young, even though I witnessed my brothers making more money for less time committment.
I also babysat for 50 cents an hour starting at age 11, and at age 13, was taking care of a family of 3 children under the age of 6, 5 days a week, 8 hours a day for the whopping pay of $25.00 a week! That felt like a lot of money back then.
12 hours later
Oh...you deleted your comment Anne!
Sep 2 2012: Anne's pay should have been 3.50 X4/ (+ 5 for cutting the neighbors lawn)......AND if a man did that same thing he should be paid the same amount. However, a reason why women should always get higher pay than men is that women's hair cuts / grooming easily cost seven times that of men's............and we haven't even started dressing yet !! am I causing trouble here.
;-) :-)lol.
Sep 3 2012: Juliette,
I bet you are not old enough to remember when babysitters were paid 50 cents an hour.....right? It doesn't matter....it certainly was another time in history.
I agree with you Juliette, if any person does the same job, s/he should be paid the same amount of money. That's why I didn't get flustered about what I got paid for babysitting as opposed to the pay my brothers got for mowing the lawn. I like kids, and the job was a pleasure for me. We're not talking about the same job, so it did not seem unusual to me that the pay would be different.
Sure Juliette...gotta make sure the hair and clothing are "right" for the job....LOL....you are funny:>)
edward long 100+Sep 1 2012: You, Mr. Miossec, have presented nine separate questions in one post! Add to this the fact that feminism is both a principle and a movement and you have not defined which you intend by the word "feminist". So, I can really only answer your first two questions: I support the principle that women should have the same social, economic, and political rights as men. I do not support the movement to win such rights for women because I consider it a battle already won (here in the USA). As evidence for the irrelevance of the feminist movement (here in the USA) I suggest reading the current Forbes article titled "The 100 Most Powerful Women in the World". 59 of the women are from the USA. They hold many of the highest level jobs in business; politics; media; entertainment; finance; humanitarian; philantropy; education; and art. I am sure this list was quite a bit shorter a couple of generation ago. The battle has been won (in the USA), all we need now is continuing vigilance.
Sep 1 2012: There's nothing like pointing at the greatest successess of a country to hide all its dirty laundry. We like to pretend America is the greatest country because of its impressive GDP when in fact the gap between rich and poor is shocking. I suppose you also think racial discrimination is a thing of the past with Obama at the head of the country?
edward long 100+
Sep 1 2012: I'll answer your second question first. I have intentionally not been specific with the word "feminism" because what I want to see people's own reaction and characterisations of feminism. If I narrowly define feminism, I risk to cut out some interesting conversation. Someone like you (and at times someone like me) will need some clarification about what is meant by this and that. It is understandable. For others, something like feminism means one specific thing. What? Well hopefully with a post like this we can find out just what.
To me, feminism is a struggle for equal rights, which in its historicity and its balance has been mostly about women's rights. I would call myself a feminist, although I would distance myself from gender feminism which I've described as purposefully in denial of physical differences betweeen men and women. However I do share the concern of gender feminists that a use of actual physical differences between the sex may be used to defend all sorts of things that shouldn't be. Nevertheless, fear of distortion is never a good reason to deny biological facts. In that respect, I am more of an equity feminist, a more rational approach to feminism.
I think neither the people in the movement or the idea are a problem, I think it is the modern perception of both that is all wrong and there be many reasons for that which we could explore.
Linda Taylor 50+Aug 31 2012: NOT! When I blame my circumstance on another segment of society, I can never be happy. I refuse to be that way. Does not matter if the blame is assigned to gender, race, wealth, age, etc.
I tend to do what I want that fits into my values. Sometimes I can, and sometimes I cannot because of the color of my skin, sometime I cannot because of my gender, and sometimes I cannot because of money.
I do not run around and scream 'injustice' and burn some bras. Like someone else should fix it or something. I think about the barrier and is it something worth overcoming or not. Then I act-or not.
Sep 3 2012: I completely respect your approach to these issues. You act independently and responsibly.
I also respect others who see injustice and act to reduce or eliminate it. I also disagree with feminists who would blame another 'segment of society.' But where there is injustice, it is no fault to point the finger of blame at specific persons.
Aug 31 2012: My favorite quote on feminism is Timothy Leary "Women who seek to be equal with men, lack ambition"
I often believe that corporations used the glut in labor created by feminism to stagnate wages in general, thus enslaving both genders to a 50 hour work week. I also believe that the image of equality was dramatically misrepresented by feminists at the time it was constructed. When the feminist movement began, most men, still did manual labor, and got drafted into wars... That's not the equality anyone was looking for. Everyone wants to be the equal of people on Wall St. and in Washington. No one talks about how easy miners, and farmers have it... but there are way more of them.
So I think, like with most movements from outside the majority, they painted a picture of the majority, that really represented the 1%... It's the same problem OWS has in trying to create a real movement, you can't run on "I hate the people in charge now, and they're evil", it's not a platform.
On the other hand, I think the feminist movement made necessary steps in approaching fair and equitable treatment for women. I am actually more disappointed with the men of the time, especially blue collar guys, for not saying "The mine opens at 5 AM, and rents due Saturday, thanks honey, I love this equality stuff".
Sep 3 2012: I think ideas about feminism (women's roles in the social order) have changed a great deal since the 60's, due in part to my generation pursuing radical social change. First women wanted to vote. Now they want to know why they can't have a pink parachute in their combat, fighter aircraft when they are on mission.
It must be mind blowing to play top gun training missions with a female fighter pilot then later see her in a cocktail gown at the lounge that same evening, especially if she shot you down in the training games.
Perhaps a better way to look at feminism is to look at why men have staunchly pushed against women's role changes for so long. Today we see the remnants of the old ideas still at work in countries that, not so long, ago, were primitive cultures of a sort. What I mean, is, when I was a kid, the rain forest still existed. What we call third world countries today were still primitive village dwelling aborigines, natives or nomadic camel herders.
When I was a young man, there were no computers or Internet. Rapid change in social orders have only been moving at the current rate since the early 90's, mostly due to the introduction and large scale implementation of the Internet.
If you were born in 1990, today you would be 22 years old and grew up in a post computer culture. It wasn't until around 2000, that the internet really began to evolve into the complicated network it is today
My grandmother was a feminist. After her husband died, she refused to remarry. She did a wonderful job of raising her kids on her own. When I was around 20 years old, the social gap between me, my parents and grandparents wasn't that great -- if you overlooked my long hair and social habits. :)
Women's roles (Feminism), have undergone rapid change in the last 20 or so years if you overlook WWII.
A famous Roman General said: "We rule the world while our women rule us". Maybe it's really not so much to do about being equals as it is about who's the boss.
Sep 2 2012: Well, first thing I've done after I read your question was to check what feminism means . I found out and I can say I'm not a feminist . In my opinion a powerful person succeeds regardless of sex , it is in their nature to succeed --- that's why I'm not for defending the women's equal rights , if they can't they can't , this is it .
But if a woman is enough powerful to be my boss (it's just an example) , I'd be very glad to work with her .
Why this need to defend the women's equal rights ? Isn't it because they are weaker (not all of them) ?
Sep 2 2012: I didn't exactly say the women are weaker than the men , I asked a question there .
So , what are you suggesting : that the women are not treated equally only because of some perception problem ? Then I have nothing against treating women equally with the others people thus solving the perception problem , but if they are weaker they are weaker and don't deserve equal treatment .
By the way , why this perception problem ? Isn't it because of something real ? and think at the history of black people too .
Sep 2 2012: Good point Matthieu.
Also....E G....
What if a person is not particularly "powerful" but is equally skilled at certain jobs? What if a person is skilled in a certain way, and not assertive enough to be able to demonstrate that? Do you think it is helpful to try to defend that person's rights?
BTW E G....we are similar in that we keep a dictionary close by for TED conversations!!! :>)
Anne Thull
Sep 3 2012: We're all for that Eduard, but don't you think you're assuming a perfect world? Do you think there are no discrimination factors in employment, advertising and legislation that come into play?
The past informs the future. Anne Thul is illustrating the lack of fairness that existed in the 60s and 70s. Wouldn't it be a mistake to assume it's gone now?
Sep 4 2012: Of course there are discrimination factors in employment .... but what's the point of these regarding what we're talking about --- valuing the people according to their merits , according to what they are ? To value the people in that way doesn't require us to live in a perfect world, so no , I'm not assuming anything. If it doesn't happen now , or didn't happen in the past , let's try to make it happen in the future .
Sep 1 2012: I guess that makes me a feminist too
I looovvve women,life would be so boring without them that i would probably kill myself even though they drive me crazy, it just wouldn't be the same, in fact it would be an offense against life if that were to happen.
Not that this was meant to impact the seriousness of the Q Mat.
Aug 31 2012: Classical feminism calls for men and women to be considered as persons first and gendered beings second; Difference feminism holds that men and women possess fundamentally different qualities and that both genders should learn from each other.
I agree with the above feminist ideas. I usually disagree with radical feminists with militant or extremist views.
Aug 31 2012: That is why there is such a thing as equity feminism which is rooted in a certain acceptance of biological differences. Gender feminism is what you're truly against (although there are some merits shared by feminists across all boards). I consider myself an equity feminist although I have to confess I have had a very gender feminist rhetoric in the past. Still, there are places where gender and equity feminism rejoin, some biological differences are overstated. I'd argue the difference in brain structure is one such area.
Aug 31 2012: I've never met any feminists before and I don't know what kind of people they are these days other than from what I've learned in history books.
I would say it is justifiable just like all stereotypes that exist. While stereotypes and images are usually pretty inaccurate, they all still hold some truth and there's always a reasonable cause as to why they are branded the way they are. After all, all lies are born from truth.
Aug 31 2012: I don't know the exact statistics, but there are definitely a lot of Chinese people who don't fall into that category of stereotype/label.
The same can be said for feminism or any label/brand/stereotype really. But no matter what the truth is or what the generic label doesn't tell you, the image is still the image. There's a saying, you can never get a second chance at first impressions. So if you screw up a first impression, you would have to spend even more time/effort to change people's opinions based on their first impressions.

Celebrity news reveals that KIM KARDASHIAN recently wrote a blog entry announcing that she will be banning cyber bullying on her blog and will no longer allow rude and hateful comments to be posted on her page.
With the emergence of blogs and networking sites that welcome even the nastiest comments about celebrities and their fans, there has been a noticeable increase in online haters that has caused a number of clashes such as the Twitter bullying incident between Lady Gaga's army of fans and Kelly Osbourne.
In an attempt to keep the peace in her blog, Kim Kardashian—who is also the crowned queen of the Most Ill-Mannered list last year—finally took matters into her own hands and took a stand against the bullies.
Kim wrote on her blog late Monday:
"I've said it before, and I'll say it again… I will not allow bullying on my blog. You can say what you like about me, but when you come on here and harass and bully other fans, you WILL be banned from leaving comments."
She added:
"This is not a place to take out your frustrations with your own life on other people. I was honestly shocked today reading some of the comments… from people who are old enough to know better. Find something better to do with your time, because I don't want you here, and neither does anyone else."
It is always admirable when a celebrity publicly backs their fans up, but will Kim's statements be enough to stop the hate in her blog for good?
We sure hope so.

Critical Essay by Yvor Winters
SOURCE: "The Post-Symbolist Methods," in Forms of Discovery: Critical and Historical Essays on the Forms of the Short Poem in English, Alan Swallow, 1967, pp. 251-97.
Winters was an American critic, poet, short story writer, and editor who emphasized that all good literature necessarily serves a conscious moral purpose. In his best-known critical work, In Defense of Reason (1947), Winters stated: "I believe that the work of literature, in so far as it is valuable, approximates a real apprehension and communication of a particular kind of truth." Momaday, who studied under Winters while at Stanford, has noted that Winters greatly influenced his writing. In the excerpt below, Winters offers an analysis of "The Bear," "Buteo Regalis," and "Before an Old Painting of the Crucifixion," placing Momaday's work within the Post-Symbolist tradition.

the workshop
what a week….
i was lucky enough to attend the jonas peterson and sean flanigan workshop.
at first i didn't know what to expect, i mean you try go into these things with a clear mind and no huge expectations to save any disappointment. boy i was wrong, these guys turned it up!! we were all treated like queens and kings, it didn't matter how much experience you had or how long you have been in the industry jp and sf had all the time in the world for you. plus nothing was out of reach!
what did i learn?
bucket loads! i can tell you now that it had nothing to do with photoshop or how i should process my images to look 'cool'. these guys have a gift, a gift of sharing information and their experiences and what it takes to be 'the best'. dan o'day and samm blake were also guests at the workshop, the word 'cool' comes to mind when i think of these two. they have taught me so much and have inspired me to create this blog, so that i can share my photos and thoughts of how i see the world. i must say that it's kind of scary because i'm not the best writer in the world, however, the workshop taught me to push yourself to do things that your scared of. resistance is your enemy!
i can highly recommend anything this bunch do in the future.
so my week was amazing, just what i needed to get out of the 'flow of work' that i have been stuck in for the past few months.
please follow my blog and stay in touch with what i create with my film cameras (maybe some digital)!

Is God energy?
Hi, I was raised a christian but now that i'm 16/17 i'm questioning that religion. I could never understand how a big guy with a huge white beard could be 'everywhere' at once. that got me thinking there's only one thing that is everywhere in the universe and that's energy. Energy is everywhere but cannot be created or destroyed also the first line of the bible is " In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." but science tells us it was a big bang filled with energy. the priests say that "God is inside all of us" he's not but energy is... The bible also says "And God said "Let there be light. and there was light" without energy light couldn't exist and God created light so surely that makes God energy? Just one more thing if you feel really ill and down you don't have that much energy, but when you feel better you have huge amounts of energy so Do you get ill when you've sinned? I'm not saying that is what i believe i'm just asking for your opinion on it. thanks! :)

Jan 3 2013: If you think of it:
If God is the first and the last He/She/It is all that was created and ever will be created. God is the creating force beyond time and energy in which God became manifest. God is a word pointing to what is outside language, the will to be, consciousness itself.
Any sentient being is an expression of God though I love the Chinese word TAO much better for they say about Tao that anyone that can say what it is, didn't understand it yet.

Along with make-up artist Barbara Elizabeth Frary and photographer Crystal Cartier, the trio found inspiration in pop culture, fashion and music of the past to recreate a super short, Art Deco look from old Hollywood, an asymmetric bob inspired by '50s-era musical girl groups and an exaggerated side-swept, disco-glam Afro from the '70s. Make-up was kept neutral and soft to accentuate chiseled facial features and strong hair shapes.

Fojnica is a town and municipality in central Bosnia and Herzegovina, located west of the capital Sarajevo. It lies in the valley of the Fojnička River, tributary of the river Bosna. Administratively, Fojnica is part of the Central Bosnia Canton of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Fojnica is a small, picturesque town in central Bosnia. The most important cultural site in Fojnica is the Holy Spirit Franciscan Monastery which houses an important part of the nation's cultural heritage, maintained by the Franciscan Province of Bosna Srebrena.
The Franciscan monastery in Fojnica has a large library of philosophical and theological works printed from the 16th to the 19th centuries, with some dating back to 1481. The monastery is currently under renovation. The last Queen of Bosnia, Katarina Kosača-Kotromanić sought refuge from the Ottomans in the mountains near Fojnica, before making her way to Rome and making the Pope (and all future Pope's) sovereign of Bosnia.

Mayor Kasim Reed wants to know what Atlanta residents and visitors think about Atlanta government. To find out, the city is launching an online survey.
It is available at atlantaga.gov/survey. Reed's office plans to collect public opinion through the spring of 2013.
Reed said residents and visitors should expect a high level of customer service from all agencies and offices of the city. One of his aides, Kirstin Canavan Wilson, said the responses will be used to identify areas that need improvement.
Earlier in Reed's term, the city of Atlanta adopted a so-called Customer Bill of Rights. It states, among other principles, that everyone dealing with the city has a right to courteous treatment, easy access and responsive service.

Flash Gordon.
I am currently in the middle of planning some super cool stuff concerning the live performance of my band's rock opera.
Anybody have any suggestions for good movies/shorts/trailers/music videos that would be a good match for my science fiction rock opera?
Things I might be looking for:
-Awesome use of music, especially rock music
-Humor and/or shlockiness
-Futuristic themes
-Space themes
-The shorter the running time, the better
Any of the above would be awesome. I am looking for anything visual, including movie trailers/music videos/old commercials/feature length films.
If you need inspiration, feel free to download some of the tunes on my site: http://www.clawjob.com
Flash Gordon.
That is a great suggestion, actually. The first review we got compared us to that movie's soundtrack.
I liked when Wayne and Garth were driving around, listening to Bohemian Rhapsody, in Wayne's World. When the guitar solo kicks in, it's very funny.
There's a scene in Mel Brooks' High Anxiety when Dick Van Patten is trying to escape from the institute, and he can't turn the music is his car down. It blasts so loud that it finally kills him. The song they use is real funny, but just the visual of him with his hands over his ears screaming would be cool for any particularly hard rockin part in your piece.
bust out some of those MST3k episodes, then find the real movies.
...also, if you have one of those mom and pop style video stores around, they are a hotbed for awesome b-movies
Any ideas from the morning crew?
The scene in Aliens when Vasquez yells "Let's Rock!!!" and they start blasting all the aliens and its mayhem for a few minutes.

Doom Stone was carved from the strongest and purest stone in Skylands, then magically brought to life by a wizard who was rather lazy and wanted someone strong to carry heavy things and perform other tasks around his castle. Doom Stone happily helped, and in his spare time learned the ancient ways of Stone Fighting should he ever need to protect the wizard, who became like a father to him. Sure enough the need arose when the wizard was kidnapped by his evil twin brother in order to steal his spells for himself. Doom Stone wasted no time in using the skills he learned to save his master. Afterward, the wizard knew Doom Stone had a greater calling and introduced him to Master Eon, who made him a Skylander.

Nokia, Microsoft and the BlackBerry Target
Nate is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The smartphone market is, to put it in straightforward terms, a mess. It's new and immature with a lot of competing tech out there not working well together and hyperpartisan opinion-makers all screaming about this, that or the other thing. Again, it's a mess.
There are a lot of players in the smartphone market; some have peaked, some are peaking, and some, who dropped a lot in the rankings, are trying to get back on top. That's where the partnership between Nokia (NYSE: NOK) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) comes in. A recent article indicates that Nokia is in partnership to try to knock over BlackBerry (NASDAQ: BBRY).
Coming right on the heels of what appears to be a successful launch of the BlackBerry Z10, that's an ambitious goal for a phone developer that dropped from the top ranks long ago. But at Microsoft they certainly have a partner that is both motivated and has the muscle to promote the product. I'm surprised this sort of partnership hasn't happened before.
The fact that Nokia is trying to win over the business smartphone market with it's new Lumia phones is an interesting one. It also parallels Microsoft's 'win business' attitude by packaging Excel, Word and PowerPoint onboard. It'll be an interesting thing to see how well having those business apps on a phone motivates corporate buyers.
As for shares, Nokia has been trending up, slowly, for several months. Since July it's gone from $1.69 to $3.77. Double your money! And investors can get a lot of it for cheap! The firm had a good fourth quarter but is clearly still trying to find its way in the world. A 6.7% dividend helps make it attractive.
I love writing about Microsoft because no one ever thinks about them as a 'hot' tech firm. But they do very well. The focus on the appeal to the corporate and business world makes them suffer a bit in the minds of the average consumer. No one is ever going to mistake them for sexy. The magic of that is that the firm doesn't care.
The firm's stock trended down over the last year, maybe a bit more than 10%. Yet it's operating margin for 2012 was 29.92% and it pays a 3.31% dividend. There's still a lot to like about Microsoft if you can get past the whole public-perception thing. They do everything right to make money, and that's what you should want in an investment.
BlackBerry, formerly Research In Motion (sorta), is an interesting story. From what I've seen the launch of the BlackBerry Z10 is going well for the company. However, no one in their right minds can doubt that the firm was, not too long ago, given up for dead. It had been passed in the smartphone race by several competitors.
Still, since last September the firm's stock is up more than 100%, climbing from $$6.305 to $13.50. However, a lot of that is speculative, in my opinion, on BlackBerry's pulling off a real turnaround. While the firm turned an operating profit overall last year, for Q4 it's margin was -8.42%. If a combination of Microsoft and Nokia has decided to target them, BlackBerry will have some serious issues to deal with.
Google (NASDAQ: GOOG)
Google doesn't make the phones, of course. But its Android operating system sure runs a lot of them. That's where they are in the market right now, though, honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if the company launched its own hardware at some point. Even working with LG and Samsung, though, it's gained a lot of market share.
As I write this, Google has again climbed above the $800 per share value, and I don't see that as any sort of obstacle. The firm's P/E of 24.74 still indicates to me that I'm not alone in thinking there's still growth out there for Google. If it would just grow up and pay a dividend it would be a perfect investment.
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL)
Apple, of course, is one of the major reasons that BlackBerry took its dive. It's also one of the reasons that Microsoft and Nokia are targeting BlackBerry. The two are taking aim at one of the weaker competitors in the field before trying to take a shot at either Google or Apple. It's unknown how many smartphone makers the market actually needs, but it's a safe bet that Apple will be in that final count.
Yes, Apple stock has tanked lately. We should all know that already. But I think that just makes it a strong value proposition at this point. The board got approved. A dividend is being paid now. There's a lot of room for Apple to grow quite a bit after the nonsensical stampede (based largely on media pressure and not on reality) burns out. Now's the time to get AAPL if you're going to.
As I said in the beginning, the smartphone industry is rapidly advancing. And big, big players are involving themselves and lining up for the fight. How little BlackBerry comes out of this, having been abused by Google and Apple and now in the sights of Microsoft? I'd suspect the firm is in for a rough ride. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a buyout at some point to ally the platform with some other monster tech giant. But who that'll be, I don't know.

Weather Policy: Winter is early and here are a few things to keep in mind regarding inclement weather. First and most importantly, BE SAFE! When the weather is cold, plus an added factor of the wind chill, fingers, cheeks, and ears tend to suffer the most. Walkers please use your best judgment in deciding if it is safe to walk over to UW-Superior. If you drive or catch a ride you are always welcome to come for tutoring, however if you are a walker you are encouraged to take the bus home on those frigid days. Please don't forget to call to excuse yourself! Also remember when after school programming is canceled so is UB.
ATTENTION SENIORS! This is a crucial time for you. You will have many things to consider and decision to make this academic year, from college applications to FAFSA, and senior projects to scholarship. Please pay special close attention to notes on the board as to when senior meeting will be held. We plan to have them once a month, to keep you as informed as your graduation date approaches. We don't want you to miss deadlines and want to prepare you for all the obstacles you will face this year and next. This is time set aside especially for you. Please try to schedule your time to attend these special meetings.
Students have taken notice that the UB program of 2012-2013 has set higher expectations of their participants. Students must ask themselves: How can I better manage my time? I feel overwhelmed, what do I do? How do I keep my grades up and still have time for Upward Bound, sports, friends, and a job? Below you will find some simple and practical techniques you can follow:
Take responsibility for yourself: Recognize that in order to succeed you need to make decisions about your priorities, your time, and your resources.
Center yourself around your values and principles: Don't let friends and acquaintances dictate what you consider important.
Put first things first: Follow up on the priorities you have set for yourself, and don't let others, or other interests, distract you from your goals.
Discover your key productivity periods and places: Morning, afternoon, or evening? Find spaces where you can be the most focused and productive. Prioritize your most difficult study challenges. The UB office is open generally from 8:30-4:30 during the week if you need a quiet place!
Consider yourself in a win-win situation: When you contribute your best to a class, you, your fellow students, and even your teacher will benefit. Your grades can then be one additional check on your performance
First understand others, then attempt to be understood: When you have an issue with an instructor (a questionable grade, an assignment deadline, etc.) put yourself in the instructor's place. Now ask yourself how you can best make your argument given his/her situation.
Look for better solutions to problems: For example, if you don't understand the course material, don't just re-read it. Try something else! Consult with the professor, a tutor, a classmate, a study group, or UPWARD BOUND!
Look to continually challenge yourself!
Be the best leader you can be!
Thank you to all the families that attended our Family Potluck Saturday in September! The variety of food was outstanding! It was amazing to see the participation with the parents vs. students softball game. We cannot thank you enough for supporting your student(s) in Upward Bound. Our October Saturday Academy consisted of ACT test prep, QUIC Testing, speakers, and swimming at the MWC. November's Saturday Academy was amazing! We were the honorary host at a UW-Superior Women's Hockey game and were able to give back by helping clean up afterwards. For supper we attended Cultural Night in the YU. I was so proud of the students that tried the amazing and different culturally based foods. I enjoyed every bite! Lastly, we watched fantastic performances put on by the World Student Association. Pay attention to the dates listed below for more amazing Saturday Academies!

Hi students and parents! First off, you all are amazing! A few friendly student reminders. Each and every one of you truly brings something special to the program. The program is not the same when you are not here and you are missed . If you are going to be absent from a UB Thursday night or Saturday Academy, make sure you call us at the office or our cell phones. Remember, Facebook, email, and text messages are not acceptable ways to excuse yourself, and you cannot excuse other students, it is their own responsibility. We need to talk to each one of you in case there are important announcements that you may be missing that day. If you are excused from a Saturday Academy and plan on making it up, you need to present your ideas to us and make it up before the next SA event.
Please remember to check the white board every Thursday as there is always information that you need to know regarding a variety of topics. Check the UB Facebook page on occasion as this is the easiest way to communicate to the whole group at once. Please come and see me to make sure I have your email if you do not have a Facebook account. I will email you with the information from that post. Things can come up and change, that is why it is so important to be flexible and check the whiteboard, Facebook posts, email, and listen every time you are at UB. I cannot say enough about how great you all are. Thank you for caring, taking the initiative, and supporting Upward Bound!
