A fine day in WOTNopolis. The sky was blue and the weather was grand.
There was a peaceful aura that surrounded the area and all was
quiet...a little...too quiet. In the middle of the quiet scene were
two girls. One girl had short black hair and stared blankly at the
frozen movements of the ducks that were in the middle of taking
flight. The second girl had dark brown hair. They both stood dazed at
what had just happened.
"Everyone stopped," The girl with the black hair stated.
The other girl's mouth gaped open. "W-what happened?"
"Make it move again, Resh! Make everything move!" The black haired girl shouted.
Resh was shocked. She had never heard her scream, not Rin, never. "I-I dont know how," Ureshii was close to tears.
SAID MAKE IT MOVE!!!" Rin cried. Resh froze and tears started to pour
out. Rin angrily grabbed her hand and shouted, "I SAID MOVE!"
everything started moving again. Reshii's tears slowly stopped and Rin
angrily stomped off. Fear had taken over Resh and she could not think
straight. Now time moved again and she felt relieved but confused. She
was confused about how Rin had made time move again.
"Who are
you?!" A man had blocked Rin's path. The man said nothing and looked at
Resh. Unsurely, she walked over to Rin and held her hand in fear. The
man motioned them to follow him. And so, in curiosity and fear, the two
toddlers, no older than 7, had followed.
Two years have passed and
countless gangs filled WONTopolis. The two girls had lived in
contentment and had mastered their special abilities. They lived in a
little apartment on the third floor across a little bar. Rin and Resh
would practice controlling their powers and fooled around with them.
Time travel was a useful power Ureshii had. In the past two years, she
had learned to focus her power in just a specific area and rewind what
had been done, pause or fast forward.
Rin, on the other had, did
not have much of a power, at least it would not show. Rin could copy
special abilities, usually just for a short period of time or however
long she was in physical contact with the person. Unexpectedly, she had
been able to duplicate and keep the power she copied. Resh knows of
this but their sensei does not. However, he died a year ago when Resh
had accidentally left him in the past. Luckily, no other gangs have
discovered them yet. They have been taught to cover their power and
their auras when needed.
Loud noises came from the other side of the
street. "Ugh, when will they ever be quiet?" Rin complained as Resh
walked over to the window.
"Hey, some tourists are here," Resh pointed.
"Great," Rin sighed and played with her black hair that had grown over the years.
closed the blinds and sat back onto the couch when they suddenly heard
flames cackle outside. They both ran to the windows and saw the bar
across the street in flames. They called the fire department and waited
for the flames to die down. When it did, the bar tender, Temari,
clutched onto a piece of wood and cried silently. Resh and Rin would
sometimes go down to the bar for a few drinks, soda, of course. The two
planned to go down to what's left of the bar the next day and try to
help her restore it.
"Nooooooooooo!!!!" A boy suddenly shouted.
The two girls looked out the window again and a brown haired boy
clutched his chest, said a few words and curled up onto the ground in
Resh and Rin stared at the group of people, presumably his friends or his aiding hands, stare at him inside the burnt bar.
The next day, the two girls made their way down to their friend's
broken bar. The entered through the doorway and found a brown haired
guy looking for something on the ground.
"Um...excuse me?" Rin asked then man.
"Sorry, bar's closed!" He enthusiastically said and continued looking.
"We were just wondering if we could help you..clean up and such," Rin said.
"Sure!" The man hopped up onto his feet and smiled. It was the guy we saw last night.
"What were you looking for?" Resh asked.
"Cherry coke. But I guess t here isnt any," The man took one last look
around and frowned, "Im Q, by the way." He took out a hand and we each
shook it once.
After short introductions, we started to clean the mess. Rin got hold of the broom while Resh was inspecting the fridge.
"I cant believe the fridge got burned," Resh mumbled.
"Where's Tem?" I asked after finally clearing the floor.
"In the back," Q smiled. Rin and Resh presumed she was mourning over her bar in the back.
When we had our breaks, Tem came out and drew an outline of an eagle on
the wall of the bar. Q began to outline it until some men showed up.
cant beat them all!" Rin held onto Q's arm. She stopped and stared at
him. She felt his power of sound waves and Q looked at her oddly.
"Dont worry," Q smiled ,"I've got it."
Rin and Resh did not think their newest friend with a chance of being
mentally challenged, Q, could do it. But they saw it with their own
two eyes. He was powerful and had wiped out the Rat Gang quickly.
"There!" Q said proudly.
That was great!" Resh then noticed the time, "Oh, sorry, Q! We gotta go
now! See ya later! We'll bring some cherry cokes next time!" She waved
and carefully stepped over the bodies.
Unexpectedly, Rin ran up to Q and hugged him. "Im so glad youre okay! I didnt think you could do it!"
Q patted her head, "Have a little faith in me, rin!" He smiled and Rin let go.
"Bye, Q!" She waved happily and Q waved back, not knowing she had secretly cloned Q's ability for herself.
I do not own WOTNopolis :D (cuz Q and bano do :D) theres some parts where my story merges into the story :D I apologize if i do not get their personalities right Dx Do not get this mixed up with Reshii's fanfic D: cuz remeber, her's is in a different dimension of WOTNopolis! :O Thats why Q is mayor and bano is a girl :D and theyre shot chapters :D not as long as WOTNopolis ones :D or even as long as reshii's >.>;; and why is it on the side?! Dx Ill fix it when i can...when i know how too...when im not lazy :D

A Day Without Internet :0(
So our internet was still being fruity all day today. The only way to get online was to link directly into our modem…unfortunately this is in a closet at the top of our stair and my internet cable doesn't reach all the way to my office. Yes we are in the stone age and are still on a wired network instead of wireless. But either way my plans for the day were completely changed. You see 90% of my office work involves the internet…emails, grants, even googling information and addresses to send things out. And our printer is wired into the network so I couldn't write any letters either. My hands were tied and I was annoyed.
But every trying to be the optimist I came up with a new plan of what to do with the hours I was confined to in my office today. There are always little things I wish I had time to do that I was able to get done today without my normal work to tie me down. I started with some mail…
I had written out a bunch of cards and bought some gifts for some friends who are getting married this summer and had time to sit down and write out lovely notes to them. I don't always make the time to do so but I love getting real mail so I hope my friends enjoy getting theirs this week. Made me smile just thinking about it.
Then I took the time to count my mad money. I have a slush fund I keep in my desk for random coffee fixes and the like so I wanted to see how much I had…
I think my trip to Panera with Sarah wiped me out this week. And if you're wondering what I keep it in…It's my old middle school pencil-case.
Yep I carry this thing in my purse and look so cool when I pull out my quarters instead of a Number 2. I had just enough to enjoy a latte with my lunch with Hunni.
And then the real work began. I had to get some eggs…
Yep lovely green egg package…well really they are a prop for Easter…
Each egg has an important piece of the Easter story and I have to memorize it to teach our kids on Resurrection morning. Hunni so nicely reminded me not to give some of the rambunctious boys in our congregation the egg with the rock or spear in it or we might have a situation on our hands.
And one thing I'm not proud to admit is that we've had the same bulletin boards in our halls for the entire 18 months we've been here. When I was teacher I changed them at least once a quarter to represent what we were studying. But the two in our church have remained untouched for eons and all the dates and info were way out of date. My professors would be so disappointed since I got great marks for my creativity.
I decided to tackle the smaller of the two first since I needed to get those creative juices flowing. The thing that made me most happy about this project was being able to use the mountain of scrapbook crap paraphanelia that was left by the previous officers…unlike my beloved post it stash.
None of this was even relevant any more and it annoyed me every time I walked past cursing my lack of time to redo it. But I took about an hour and transformed it into this…
I think my congregation will be dumbfounded when they walk in on Sunday and see the change. I had so much fun.
I now have an even bigger palate to paint on…
This board required a trip to Staples for some necessities. Of course while I was there I made a point to look around and indulge. What more could a girl love than an office supplies store.
No I didn't buy any post its today but I did drool over the wonderful selection and even the supersized post its. And I also considered this…
But I realized that my greeting card addiction is far too big for what is no more than a few folders so I'll stick to my accordion file. But I did pick up this little cutie…
It's perfect to jot down all my blog ideas. I normally text myself ideas but this will be a good place to keep them all organized since I often forget the idea text among my other texts from real live people. Besides the color and the cute little saying drew me in and made it a must have. I can't wait to put this to use for more fun bloggity stuff.
I still need to print and mount some pictures for the other but I picked up the background white paper and a pretty blue border. I'll have to remember to show it to you when I finish it later this week. I'm excited about it.
I did some other random things like add some recipes to my Weight Watchers points calculator based on the sugar-free recipes I found the other day.
I'm keeping to my goal of only one baked good or treat a day but I'm day dreaming of which one to make next. I'm thinking about some Peanut Butter and Carob Chip cookies although the Butternut Squash Orange Spiced Cake sounds so yummy. Perhaps if I make it into cupcakes I can manage some self-control.
One other thing I spent the day dreaming of was the wedding we are going to in just 7 weeks.
This is the wedding for the shower I went to on Saturday. I snapped this adorable picture of the bride, groom and their flower girl as she posed with the rehearsal bouquet. Gotta love all the ribbons.
I was told I don't have to wear my uniform to their wedding (normally Salvation Army officers have to at Salvationist weddings unless the couple decides otherwise). So I was day dreaming of shopping for a cute dress and shoes to wear. As well as day dreaming about the quilt I have to finish in that same amount of time. The bride loves things black and white (notice the outfit) so Hunni and I hit up JoAnn's tonight to pick out a range of fabrics. If Hunni had his way they would get a quilt full of flames and skulls with roses. I reigned him in and got the right stuff.
So although my day wasn't productive in the sense that now all my normal Monday work is relegated to Tuesday (in addition to Tuesday's work and finishing the bulletin board I started) I had fun. Perhaps I should declare an internet free day more often….nah I was going through withdrawals. But I'm glad I made the most of it and didn't just sit and pout.
What would you do with an internet free day?
Zesty is having his Blog Makeover contest. After talking with Sarah I realize I might be purchasing my own domain soon so this would be great. Go check it out for yourself.
You really got a lot done without the internet! I probably would get more done if I went computerless for a day. I too love office supply stores and therefore try and stay out of them!!
Way to be super-productive! I spent most of my evening internet-free yesterday, and got a TON of studying done and bills paid. I also wound up finishing our taxes, but I did do that online 🙂
Love the bulletin board border! Updating my floor's board was one of my favorite things to do when I was an RA in college.
On a free internet day, I spend my time to ruminate about myself–things I need to do to improve myself. Also I spend a lot more time with my son and do a lot of experimental cooking–I love to cook. 🙂

I came across "Britain's Got Talent" a few years ago on YouTube around the time Susan Boyle made a name for herself on that show. When Simon Cowell left the show last season, I lost interest.
But Simon is now back and I came across this audition clip of Charlotte and Jonathan.
I've done a little research on this act (granted, not a lot, but some) and I don't see this duo getting much press here in the United States. I don't understand these things but I do know Charlotte and Jonathan's appearance on "Britain's Got Talent" has been viewed on YouTube close to 10 million times.
I can't use the "official" YouTube video because BGT has a hard on about their copyright laws, but here's another clip I think I can use at least for a while. The quality sucks a little but I want to at least give you a taste of what this act is all about.
Let me know what you think of Charlotte and Jonathan. If nothing else, they're very different than anything I've ever seen or heard.

Guardians of the Galaxy
Earlier in the year we learnt about Kaitīakitanga i nga wā kātoa, being guardians of everything around us. This term we are exploring being Guardians of the Galaxy: What makes earth habitable? What's out there in space? Are there any planets that could support human life? So many questions and so much to learn about!

I do a lot of engineering work on TV network structure. I found myself today searching through Google for a digital TV to analog TV converter. I thought I would find a lot of options, but surprise, not a one to be found. This amazed me, since in 2009 the TV broadcasters will be switching over to an entirely digital signal. All those people who still have analog TVs will need one of these magic conversion boxes. Gee, the FCC is already offering incentives to buy the converters. So where are they?
Does industry and the public believe that analog televisions will work without a converter post-2009?

So much of "Thunderheart" is so good and its intentions are so noble that it pains me to reach the ultimate judgment that the movie is a mess.
But it is a mess, good intentions be damned. A large, sprawling murder mystery set on the decaying Lakota Sioux reservation at Pine Ridge, South Dakota, in the late '70s, it seems to get more and more incoherent as it proceeds; its second half is not nearly as engaging as its first. It's all set-up and no delivery. Val Kilmer plays a young, fast-track FBI agent who is vaguely embarrassed about his all but ignored quarter-Indian heritage. (Kilmer, by the way, is part Cherokee.) When a tribal elder is gunned down in an ugly internecine battle between the radicals and conservatives in reservation politics, Kilmer's Ray Levoi is cynically sent out to satisfy the demand that one of the investigators be Native American. He finds he's entered what amounts to a civil war.
The movie seems drawn, more or less, from the Leonard Peltier case of the mid-1970s, when a well-known Indian activist was conveniently found guilty of the murder of two FBI agents on the basis of evidence that many people have found questionable. Peltier, in fact, is still in prison, though efforts to re-examine the evidence seem to be gathering energy.

I just read a great book by Ram Dass about aging:
"Still Here: Embracing Aging, Changing and Dying"
His first book "Be Here Now" was also very good.

Curious to know if you've read Tuesdays with Morrie or seen the DVD? Like you, I usually eschew crowds and sometimes bestseller lists! Last week, though, I watched Tuesdays with Morrie with a group of adolscents (12-18 year olds) in a psychiatric hospital, where I'm volunteering.
I thought Morrie's insight on living, dying, and aging were profound. (Perhaps the movie resonated w/ me because I recently lost a grandmother, and, coincidentally, she had read the Tuesdays book during her last years. Her copy was still sitting on one of her counters when we drove in to MI for her funeral.)
Interestingly enough, the kids - - many of them rebellious, antisocial, and mentally ill - - remarked that the old man was wise and intelligent. I was shocked and encouraged by their remarks because U.S. society does not revere our elders, which you pointed out.
Your description of the abandoned city on SSS reminds me of my Jewish friends describing the streets of Santa Barbara, CA on Christmas Day.

Hi Eric, this part of your blog really stuck a chord in me.
"i began to think about my inane youth and about my nephew. hes four months old. how will he deal with the unforgiving gauntlet of youth. come his teens will he feel awkward and out of place as i did. if not, good for him of course. but i did think that it seems like my strategy might not have been such a bad one. you are suddenly hit with a tsunami of hormones while simultaneously realizing your parents and any authority figures in your life are full of shit; but you havent yet got the life experience to fully fill out your own world view."
I have a 13 year old son and we've been bumping heads quite a bit the past several months. That quote from you better explains to me what he's going through than anything the supposed experts have had to say.
Thanks for your thoughts. They really give me a different perspective and I appreciate it.
As far as the Super Bowl goes it was more of a Super Bore than anything else.

I think I know what you mean about the beauty in an empty public space. One of the ways I accomplish this is by taking walks by myself in the rain.
On one occasion a few years ago when I was still in high-school, I was at Whistler, Blackcomb (a small, but well-known ski resort/village) here in British Columbia, Canada during a huge sponsored snowboarding festival. There were international athletes competing, there were free bands (Black Eyed Peas...yuck), and thousands of people in the streets. In the space of a few minutes, all the trendy young people retreated into the bars, and I was left completely alone. It's still one of my favourite memories.

It just occurred to me that I should amend my previous comment by noting that it was rain that drove the masses indoors and not some sort of "Great Canadian SARS Attack" or something.

Hey EA-
I could never understand the fascination with youth myself. My friends joke now that I was born 41 years old. I believe it is because as an artist/painter I've always believed that each day I paint or draw I learn something new, and therefore I've become a better artist/person. What more could a young man with a brush or bass ask for.
A walk around the Fair in Sevilla,Spain is pretty awesome not a bad way to spend an afternoon i agree.
Thanks for sharing!!!!

Many themes run conguently here.....wide open spaces, proximity to people, and proximity to ones self in contrast to others in time. I read these entries and artists, usually writers, come to mind. Here it is Vonnegut Jr. who lamented something more or less similar to this....'Beethoven farted around in Germany and music came forth; I began farting around and contempt for civilization came out'. When I was younger I found out who I really was at my core....my essensce. Much to my surprise and occasional chagrin, it really hasn't changed. That actualization was profound for me, but it wasn't until I grew and matured that I found my proximity to humanity. That youthful renaissance was etched in stone and it was mournful, more or less, as I understood acutely my lot had been ascribed to me rather than achieved by me. I felt ashamed and angry much of the time because I was afforded so much and so many others simply by some cosmic twist of fate were born into something less than fair.....tragic in many cases. I have spent a great deal of time in my adulthood trying to reconcile these ascribed horrors and even more time digesting that my "proximity" to others who don't yell into a cell phone about bets, but are really in dire need is very distant. Adulthood has taught me that in many, many occasions the status quo is a VERY powerful and obstinate foe. All this, and more, brings me closer to Vonnegut's view or even Bukowski's as he so simply and brilliantly puts it....."Born Into This".
It is for these reasons that life without art would be, well let's jsut say, less than it is. It really is the only thing that seperates us, even if it is barely measureable, from some of our more base and savage animal brothers.
So just a little thanks here to our host artist for his contribution; it doesn't go unnoticed.
Ooh, just a walkin plus sign today.

Hey EA,
I hear you about all the hullaballoo around the Super Bowl. It's a bit disconcerting--I usually am very psyched for it and then when it comes on I pretty much tune out because it's not as interesting as I had anticipated. I guess I really have a special place in my heart for the day because it's a good excuse to gather with my family and friends-- much more interesting to me than the game. I understand what you mean about the alone time though, as those are precious moments in life for sure. I'm glad to hear you may write a song about the SSS phenom one day.
BTW, how's your little nephew doing? I hope all is well and you guys are having a blast. My boy Avery turns 8 months in a couple of days. He's fat and happy at the moment,and saying Da da all the time. We're taking him on his first little trip to Florida tomorrow for a long weekend. It'll be a great little get away from the 8 degree weather we've been having in NYC lately.
By the way, do you like Fugazi? They are one my favorite all time bands. Their bass player Joe Lally is a huge inspiration to me and an awesome player. Joe recently just released his first solo CD called There To Here and it's a really cool collection of songs and memorable rolling bass lines. I highly recommend it if interested. I hope Fugazi gets back together to make some more music soon, they've been on hiatus for a while. Just wondering if you're a fan.
And, last thing, sorry to write so much, I just wrote and produced a couple of promos for my most absolute favorite movie of all time--JAWS. (It's airing on the Sci Fi Channel, where I work). That movie is whole reason I'm in the arts. Period. I wanted to share them with you (and everyone else here) if you were interested to see. They're fun. Here's the link:
You can download the quicktimes and play them down. Hope you enjoy them if you watch them!
Best to you E and talk soon,Matt

Hi Eric, I really love the Janes song LA Medley. I listened to it yesterday for the first time in probably 10 years. Can you tell me how that came about? whose idea was it to mix those cover songs together? Did it ever have more parts?
Thanks, Eric!

Eric- When your nephew gets older will you take him through the "Uncle Eric" musical timeline and try to get him interested in music ?
P.S.- One of my homeboys happened to hear the first minute and a half of LA SONG , and he brought to my attention that it had a nice high-hat,kick drum-rap sounding melody to it . Put the CD on in your car and turn it up and then step outside your car..It sounds like music to a rap song...

ryan- i remember being twenty-ish years old and realizing that the things that everybody found interesting about me at that age was based on my being twentyish years old. that when i continued to be more interested in classical music, art, dance, science etc. than i was interested in nightclubs, as i became 40 years old people(girls) would no longer think it was interesting. those interests in a twenty year old rock musician made me intersting. the same list in a 40 year old makes you a bore. to some people (girls) anyway. i remember the apartment i had this thought in. near cochran and 3rd in hollywood in the late eighties.

sr- interesting post. i would say that i am only now, over the last few years, sort of finding out who i am. i feel that in a sense i have changed alot over my life, or more precisely, i have found out who i am not. i think that as life began hurting, when i was, say, five or six, i began to try and figure how best not to hurt. so i began to blend who i intrinsically was with who i thought i should be to survive. that process really takes over in adolescence. then my mid-twenties was a transition time. my focus became a process of sorting out. which bands did i really like and which did i just like liking. what films. what clothes. what beliefs. this process has continued to this day. i have sort of uncovered who i am. but unlike some would say, i have not simply become the person i was when i was a boy. i have been changed by this process of uncovering, this life, and lifes hurts and joys. i might better approximate the boy i was, but i am not simply him.

S- i would guess that my nephew will be interested in his folks (actress/writer), his grandparents (actor) and his uncles stories. i do know that i will interest myself in whatever he is into.
"P.S.- One of my homeboys happened to hear the first minute and a half of LA SONG , and he brought to my attention that it had a nice high-hat,kick drum-rap sounding melody to it . Put the CD on in your car and turn it up and then step outside your car..It sounds like music to a rap song..."
told my wife about this one. you nailed it. that was exactly my intention when putting a song about la together. i expressly discussed with the engineer how we could make the song sound like a rap song from inside a car. well done.

The older I get, the less tolerant I get. I find that I don't forge meaningful relationships very well anymore. Youth, for me, was a much more maleable time where ideology often eclipsed status quo. Everything I surmised ignorantly about business and money and western values turned out to be dead on as I have grown up, and I don't like it. It seems that most I meet are driven by status or money and further that everything in close proximity to those things is cancerous. I found much more profound experiences coming home fucked up to my parents house and watching Sally Struthers in Ethiopia. Funny, I remember my first plane ride to a far away place. When I landed, I deplaned and got seriously depressed because the people were so different there. All that came to mind was how very small this world is......just hours away on this sphere was a great deal of suffering. It just shattered the disconnect I had always managed to delude myself with. All this results in a great deal of free time to read and listen to music. There, there is no one else.
Just wondering here. It seems as if you minimize the impact of Jane's a bit. Is this a result of humility, grace? Do you feel that Jane's deserves a place amoung L.A.'s best bands....best bands ever, anywhere?
Be well,

gb shaw: "youth is wasted on the young." i always thought that summed things up well. tough to deal with one's youth issues. one thing i know for sure is that re: youth and life: by far, >95% of my life's regrets are things i didn't do rather than things i actually did and take responsibilty for. then the rub is when you try to make up for the things you wish you had done, you are trying to relive the past - a certain time and place - and that never works b/c there is always a new set of circumstances. when you come up with a solution to all this please tell me.
ram dass was richard alpert, a jewish ex-harvard psychologist turned eastern neophilosopher pop mystic - confused like everyone - who eventually backed off the whole holy thing. he had a stroke. not sure if he is still alive.
eric, does it surprise you that doing things other twenty y/o's are doing is attractive to others but doing those same things as a 40 y/o isn't? we are all looking for something/somebody different. i guess as a 40 y/o we should act as 20 y/o would ....
can you recommend some music for me? i am tired of the 1000 songs on my ipod that i listen to over and over.

Hey EA,
Glad to hear your nephew's doing great and the babysitting went well...good job. It's pretty amazing to be around a newborn--they're so fresh, innocent and a pure definition of beautiful.
Just got back from a little 4 day excursion with the family from Florida. Nice warm weather down there cpompared to the 20 degree freeze happening up hear in NYC. Great traveling with the little guy, he held up well on the plane to and from a-ok.
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch my JAWS spot! I love that you love JAWS and sharks too! That's awesome. So cool that you were contemplating a career in marine biology back in the day. I at one point had similar aspirations but later realized my calling was more in the artistic world. But sharks will always be a major part of my life.
Hope all is well and when you get a chance to check out Lally's CD, let me know what you think! All the best, Matt
PS estatic to see the Chili Peppers got their grammy last night, well deserved and about time!

Twain too had a similar quote on youth.
"Those who can, do; those who can't teach". I love GBS, but I can't help but to question his wisdom sometimes. He was afforded the luxury of being "young" well into his late 20's I believe as his parents supported him through failures in other literary mediums until he found himself. He wasn't short on ego either as he unreservedly compares himself to Shakes in the 7 pager for kids, Shakes v. Shaw. Lol But his does beg the question.....is the journey to find oneself internal, external, or a combination of both?
He did explore this very theme too in a brilliant play entitled, "Major Barbara". Stephen was young and full of clear and focussed humanity. If memory serves, he is desribed in the chatacter notes as a person with a "high concscience". I always look to this play as Barbara struggles with, and Stephen rails against their estranged father's source of wealth....a munitions dealer, when I begin again to view the world with a unilateral eye. Shaw leaves the reader with a clear problem of ethics, with no apparent area for remote reconcilliation, as so many abstact ideas that rely on perception do. Just wonderful and provacative stuff! I am presently enrolled in a Shakes class, but GBS falls to number two on my all time list from the greeks to Shepard. Thanks for the reminder.

hi stan - ">95% of my life's regrets are things i didn't do rather than things i actually did and take responsibilty for" so so true. but i think back and i just wasnt fearless enough. until i had really lived a little i couldnt shed that restraint. unless you have some of the brash fearlessness of some youths i think you are doomed to these sorts of regrets.
music? i dont listen to much pop music im afraid. i generally listen to podcasts and when i do listen to pop i like quirk. do you know arcade fire 'funeral'? blonde redhead 'misery is a butterfly'? i am presently listening to 'the good the bad and the queen', damon albarns new cd. i dont like it as much as some of his gorillaz work but i do like some.

Shaw is awesome in his own right but has always been fascinated with the worship of Shakes. His title for it...bardology. There is a wonderful photo of him posing naked for Rodin in "the thinker" pose. Rodin complied and used it for a version. Shaw was a strange and brilliant bird. He's much, much more than the quotes or his quirky nature might suggest imho!
Again I revert to literary metaphors here, but you seem to equivocate a bit here. Ralph Ellison has landed comfortably and deservedly within the American canon for just one contribution...."Invisible Man". So, at least, in the literary world one need not be prolific to stand up to the masters, even multi published masters. There are examples in music too. Without getting too close to the light like the moth, I think Jane's is worthy of a thesis (for the years 86 - 91) In very short terms, I think that sociologically and politically we were poised for an explosion of "outsider" art, and Jane's paved the way in the late 80's and especially the early 90's. Those "windows" of opportunity for this type of art are limited and correlate directly with political climates in proportionality to fear, economics, and peace or wartime. This in conjunction with the music, and much more of course, makes Jane's one of the best of all time, again imho. So yes, history will make their own evaluations (for better or worse), but do you feel that Jane's managed greatness?
Be well,

sr- yes i equivocate because i dont and couldnt possibly know. 'was great' absolutely. i know im biased but from 86-91 there was no better rock band imNho. 'achieved greatness' i cant, in fact nobody can, say that. i dont think that there is any singular contribution that makes janes a real candidate for the great canon. just being great doesnt usually get it done. and many bands helped pave the way you speak of (x comes immediately to mind) and it depends at what arbitrary altitude you assign as the point at which outside art got high enough to get inside. scholars make these distinctions in hindsight.

Where did Lady Gaga go to high school?
Before Lady Gaga (real name Stefani Germanotta) rose to fame with hits like "Poker Face" and "Just Dance," she was just an ordinary, if a little eccentric, girl from New York. Growing up in the Big Apple, she attended the private school Convent of the Sacred Heart on Manhattan's Upper East Side until her early admission into NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. But just what was Gaga like back in the day?

So here is what is going on in my world. Plants are attacking me. Today I can't breathe through my left nostril, yesterday it was the right, tomorrow maybe they'll double team me and I'll walk around all day breathing through my mouth like a creepy guy on the subway. Either way, it's been hard to function for the past few days unless of course you count the countless hours of Benadryl induced coma. But I have a duty to at least three people to blog about something delicious/cost cutting/homemade and easy. The one thing that comes to mind that fits all three of these categories? Marinara sauce. (I think I can hear Meghan cheering all the way from Maryland). When I was younger, especially in the later years of the highschool, I fostered a growing obsession for good spaghetti marinara at most local Italian eateries. It was just the perfect ratio of delicate pasta, to robust and flavorful sauce. The infuriating thing was that even though it was seemingly so simple -- pasta + sauce = eternal bliss right? -- I couldn't reproduce it simply by pouring the contents of some jar over spaghetti at home. There was just that restaurant magic quality that I just couldn't seem to wrap my head around.
Fast forward to present day. (I imagine there would be a high pitched fast forward sound effect here followed by some ethereal music with a slow fade into my grand triplex apartment in the West Village with me laying on a chaise being waited on hand and foot and...oh no? I live in a shoebox in the village on an air mattress? Oh yeah, moving on...). Present day - I'm older and wiser and definitely prettier because I've discovered bronzer and the lipgloss with the bee venom in it, and on top of that, I've figured out the magic. It's simple really...restaurants (good restaurants) make everything from scratch, with love, and fat. I searched high and low for a jarred pasta sauce that would meet my standards and one day I gave up. If restaurants could do it, so could I. So I did some research and tried some recipes and tweaked them to my liking and ended up with something that I'm proud to say meets all of my red saucing needs.
The great thing about marinara is that you can put it on everything -- meatball subs, pizza, chicken parm, lasagna, penne with vodka sauce, you can even stir some into your chicken soup for an extra boost of flavor. Yes, you can still buy the stuff in the jar, and no it's not a bad product (I'll get it in a pinch every once in a while too), but you can make twice as much at home for about half the price and that's just good solid math, and if you won't take math tips from an Asian...well that is a dark world you live in my friend. dark.
So I am officially extolling the virtues of home sauce making, but I will say that there are a few tips to ensure success.
1. There aren't very many ingredients, so don't use crappy ones, or you will have a pot full of crappy sauce.
2. Each ingredient adds a distinct flavor to the mix, and if you understand why you're putting something in, then it can help you learn to improvise as you cook and make the sauce your own. For instance, I put carrot in mine because it adds a little sweetness which combats the acidity of the tomatoes. I also add sugar for the same reason. I put in soy sauce because it's salty but it also adds body, and I use lemon juice at the end because it helps freshen up all the flavors which can get a little dull as they cook. The main thing is to keep tasting as you go and adjust as necessary.
3. Although this is a simple procedure, try not to do this on a day where you have crazy meetings, ten minutes to shovel some food in your mouth and an insurmountable pile of laundry to attack. It will make it a negative experience, and then you'll never want to do it again, and that would be foolish.
4. Don't feel bound to one way of doing something. You might like your sauce thicker or thinner than mine, or less spicy or more spicy. Making marinara is like teaching a kid how to mix colors, show them that red and blue make purple and then watch them freak out and produce poop brown. The ease of improvisation comes with time and experimentation, so don't be afraid because if you screw up, you can throw it in the trash and lie about it to all your friends. But I doubt you'll screw up, because this is pretty easy and delicious stuff.
So here is...
Yeah I Could Just Buy It, But I'd Rather Spend The Five Bucks I Saved On Ice Cream Because I Have Solid Priorities Basic Marinara Sauce.
Stuff you need to get saucy (I'm funny, just sayin')
1 T olive oil
1 medium yellow onion chopped fine
1 medium carrot chopped fine
2 cloves garlic minced
3 T fresh parsley chopped
1 tsp dried italian seasoning (this is the easy way out because i'm lazy. If you want you can do any combination of dried basil, thyme, rosemary or oregano, but be careful with too much of the rosemary because it's strong. You can also use fresh (yay!) but use twice as much)
1/4 tsp chili flake (optional)
1 28 oz can whole tomatoes (you can get the chopped kind if you want, but they're usually pricier and I have my eye on a trip to lego land and a new circle scarf so...)
1/2 cp water (or wine, or chicken broth if you have it, I just had water so that's what I used)
2 tsp soy sauce
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp lemon juice (You can also use red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar instead)
salt and pepper
Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium low heat
Add the garlic and chili flake and cook for 30 seconds
Add the onion and carrot and continue to cook for 5 minutes (The vegetables should be sizzling, but not browning -- this is called sweating)
Salt and pepper the veggies and add the italian seasoning and half the parsley
Add the tomatoes and break up them up with a spoon
Add the water, soy sauce, sugar and 1 tsp of the lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.
Bring to a boil and then bring heat to low and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally (about every 5 minutes)
Taste to check for seasoning, you might need to add more salt or pepper at this point
Add the remaining parsley and lemon juice, simmer for five more minutes.
Marinara is the gravy of Italy, so use it as such. I like mine on sausage and pepper heroes, or heated over leftover chicken and rice, or on several pieces of cheesy garlic bread...cold...out of the fridge...at 3 am. Don't judge me.
Enjoy and expect another blog very soon. Don't forget to subscribe, tell a friend to subscribe and comment below!
K bye.

It's that time of year again - Cicadas are flying and Hudson is crunching. He has plenty of competition, though.
I am not especially fond of House Sparrows (mostly because they eat my house and nest under my roof tiles), but it is really quite amazing to see them chase and capture a Cicada.
Cicada Killer Wasps take their share of Cicadas as well. Yesterday, while monitoring, we saw a veritable colony on the Girdham Road Dunes at Oak Openings Metropark. Above is a female with a paralyzed Cicada (upside down, under her) trying to decide where she left the entrance to her nest. She will lay her eggs in the Cicada, which will provide food.
It was impressive to see how much dirt these large wasps can remove. The entrance to the holes are up to two inches in diameter and the excavated sand trails off eight to ten inches.
I have never seen so many at the dunes. There must have been over 100 nests. Perhaps the dry summer has made the dunes especially tempting.
The males have no stinger and the females were seemingly oblivious to our traipsing around.

On April 19, 2015, Freddie Gray of Baltimore, Maryland, was murdered by officers of the Baltimore Police Department while in their custody. An article published in The Atlantic three days after Gray's death pointed out the historical precedent for this particular kind of state violence. The author wrote, "Black men dying at the hands of the police is of course nothing new." The "peculiar institution" of this violent and racist system can be better understood by tracing the lineage of the police back in time.

Much hullabaloo has been made recently about slavery as entertainment in movies like "Django Unchained." But lost in the discussion is slavery as history. Though sadistic and macabre, the plain truth is that slavery was an unprecedented economic juggernaut whose impact is still lived by each of us daily. Here's my top-10 list of things everyone should know about the economic roots of slavery.
February 2, 2013
The steady rise of ethnic nationalism over the past decade, the replacing of history with mendacious and sanitized versions of lost glory, is part of the moral decay that infects a dying culture. It is a frightening attempt, by those who are desperate and trapped, to escape through invented history their despair, impoverishment and hopelessness.

In 1910 there were over 1 million African-American farmers, and today there are fewer than 17,000. Now, an emerging movement is sweeping across urban areas to reclaim abandoned lots, under-serviced public parks and vacant lots to grow fresh food for the people.

Have you tried the Santa Maria Novella Melograno EDC.
I find it's tart juicy pomegranate very appealing.
Pomegranate; the fruit of the ages and a component, if not center stage, in perfumery these days. The problem; I need a definition of it's olfactory signature as in; it smells like what in fragrance? What pomegranate fragrances find favor with you and why? Recommendations? Perhaps something with exotic flavor of the Middle East; say incense, myrrh, and the like? Did not find much in the Directory using the note.

pomegranate is that VERY obvious sharp fruity-juicy note in center of Versace-Bright Crystal. Actually, this perfume, to my nose, smells 80% like real pomegranate.
I like the taste of pomegranate a lot. But it has too many seeds, and I rarely have the patience...
I enjoy the juice very much.

"Diego: Why did you do that? you could've died trying to rescue me.
Manfred: That's what you do in a herd: you look out for each other. " (Ice Age)
With 31 fragrances popping up in the Directory after one has typed "pomegranate" in the notes, you are sure to find one for yourself. I am NOT too much of a fan, though (hints: Fr. "grenade", It. "melograno" = tree, "melagrana" = fruit itself), and I do not find too much of a fruit in SMN Melograno and plain hate Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir. To my nose the pomegranate note is prominent in Moschino Couture! (that I am trying to sell and nobody is buying the partial bottle in the dedicated forum), but this scent is one of 31 popping up.
One of the Persephone's fruit fragrances stands out for me, it is Armand Ventillo 1ere Journey -- davana, pomegranate, plum, pepper, violets, jasmine, amber, incense. Snitch it if you see one somewhere and run quick!
Please, do not get me wrong -- I like pomegranates as food.

But what makes you suspect it might be "center stage in perfumery these days"? Not that I know every (or even the majority) perfume out there but I rarely see it mentioned. Is it kept a secret?
Hmmm...I thought the *real* apple of the Bible was the persimmon. This fruit is prevalent in the Middle East and Asia, and I have seen some Middle Eastern Bibles with Eve holiding a persimmon...
I am trying to think of something with a pomegranate note in the meantime...
"The sunset is deeper and longer. The scent of the jasmine is stronger." Miracles. Pet Shop Boys
"Thick dome of jasmine
(Under the dense canopy where the white jasmine),
Blends with the rose,
(That blends with the rose),"
"The Flower Duet," Lakme by Leo Delibes, 1881
Of course you are right, Ms.P. I was hesitant to mention it and referred to pomegranate simply as Persephone's fruit.

The only ones I know are SMN Melograno, Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir, and Gandini 1896 Melograno ed Incenso.
I like the SMN and own a bottle. It's tart and powdery at the same time. Too old fashioned for some people, but I think it's wonderful.
It took me while to get Pomegranate Noir. After I had worked my way through a large sample I grew to love it and bought a full bottle. I have to admit that I disliked it after trying it the first couple of times. It smelled like spoiled fruit to me at first, but I gradually grew to appreciate it.
The Gandini may be hard to find. It's similar to the Jo Malone in overall feel, but more easily likable. The incense is a good foil to the pomegranate. This is a cologne spray, but I find all the Gandini colognes I've tried to be as strong or stronger than most EDTs, with decent longevity.

I like Pomegranate Noir. To me it smells like Christmas. Perfect for winter. (/offtopic)
Hm, I did always hear that the original biblical "apple" was a pomegranate, rather than a persimmon or quince. It could be that I'm confusing it with its place in Christian symbology (for resurrection, fertility and/or abundance) as co-opted from Greek mythology (The myth of Persephone/Proserpina).
Pomegranate has strong fruity, zesty, slightly berry and citrus-like flavor and a fragrance that matches that. Honestly, I have never found the actually fruit to be strongly scented ( unlike the truly heavenly japonica quince, for example ). You can only really "smell" pomegranate by squishing the pulp.
Keiko Mecheri Grenades and Tocca Eau de Touch also have pomegranate

Consider Pomegranate Noir.
Consider a sample, please, I hate it and I tried, trust me!

Moving Beyond the Page is a complete homeschool curriculum, based on literature studies and unit studies. It is an amazing site, with a huge variety of topics and books from which to choose. Homeschooling parents will find Science, Social Studies, Literature, Reading, and Math topics here!
My daughter and I were asked to review the Language Arts Package: Tuck Everlasting-Online, and the Social Studies Package: Geography and Landforms. This has been such a fun review!
Literature Package: Tuck Everlasting Online
This intriguing Language Arts Package from Moving Beyond the Page included a hard copy of the book Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbit, and an online Study Guide with questions and activities written by Kim A. Howe, M.S. The entire package is only $19.92, and is recommended for students who are reading and comprehending at a 6th - 7th grade level, and who are able to understand the process of five-paragraph essays.
Tuck Everlasting, if you aren't familiar with it, is a fantasy novel, written about a young girl named Winnie Foster who meets the Tucks, a family who has discovered the secret of living forever. When an unscrupulous stranger threatens to endanger the Tucks, the story gently draws the reader in to discover the choices related to life and death decisions.
The online study guide provides teacher instruction and printable pages for your student. I printed the entire guide before beginning. As my daughter read through the book, I would have her stop and complete the worksheets as the questions related to her recent reading. This allowed her to quickly remember and review the chapters and brought the story to a deeper level than just quickly reading through it alone.
The Tuck Everlasting online guide includes several thought-provoking questions, grammar guides and writing activities. Below are some sample questions:
I remember my older children reading this book, so I was pleased that Abbey also enjoyed this. I can see her choices in reading maturing a bit each week, and this wonderful literature guide from Moving Beyond the Page was a great way to really pull more information out of her deep mind.
Social Studies Package: Geography and Landforms
This package includes three wonderful books: Moving Beyond the Page's Geography and Landforms by Kathryn L. Walbert, Ph. D., Geography of the World: The Essential Family Guide to Geography and Culture by Jayne Parsons, and The Geography Book: Activities for Exploring, Mapping, and Enjoying Your World by Caroline Arnold. The total package is only $51.93 and is recommended for ages 10 -12 who can read on a 6th - 7th grade level.
This user-friendly package guides both teacher and student through the study of how geography influences culture and vice versa. The study focuses on North and South America, and how the student's own backyard relates to the bigger picture.
Moving Beyond the Page's Geography and Landforms guide provides specific instructions on how to move through the three books together so your student gains the most from each lesson. The lessons and activities include a great balance of both reading and hands-on activities to allow the student to have fun learning without getting bogged down in the facts.
My 5th grader loved the activities, and by the second lesson, was doing them completely independently.
|Abbey's Imaginary Place Map Activity
|Abbey's Continents of the World Activity
|Playing Match the Geography Terms with Definitions Activity
|Abbey's Map/Panoramic Pic of her Cul-de-sac Activity
|A peek inside The Geography Book
|A peek inside The Geography Book
|A peek inside Geography of the World
The quality and content of each of these three books are incredible. The guesswork for the teacher is non-existent, and the package allows you to relax and just enjoy the process. I especially love the way each lesson gives your child options for activities, based on what you have on hand or based on which your child simply prefers to do.
We used this unit 3 - 4 days per week, for about 30 minutes per day. It was a great format, and mixed content from the three books included in the package in a way that kept her interested. Older kids may be able to spend more time on each lesson, but for us, that schedule worked really well.

The Bottom Line
I am happy to recommend both the Literature Package: Tuck Everlasting-Online AND the Social Studies Package: Geography and Landforms from Moving Beyond the Page, but I encourage you to research each offering from this great company. I'll bet you'll find something your students will love!

Last Friday afternoon, I heard a really loud noise coming from outside our house.
"Hmm," I thought. "Someone must have gotten a new mower or something."
When the sound didn't stop and sounded closer than someone mowing, I stepped out the front door and ran to the side of our house to discover that my house was actually making that noise. Well, part of my house, at least: the air conditioning unit. And when outside, that noise was actually a shrill, high-pitched whine, coupled with a vibrating sound. And it was awful.
It stopped after less than a minute. I heard it a couple more times during the day, and when Matt got home from work, I told him about it.
Of course it didn't make any noise again until around 9:30pm. When it started, Matt immediately jumped off the couch to head outside to hear it, and at the same time, our doorbell rang. Seems our neighbor was outside with his dog and there's no mistaking that the sound meant something was wrong.
We shut down the a/c…no need to keep the neighbors up all night.
Since we were going to be in Effingham from Saturday afternoon-Sunday afternoon, we didn't bother with paying more for a service call on Saturday morning. When we returned Sunday afternoon, it was 87 in our house. I threw open all of the windows, and it stayed 87 for 6 hours.
But what did I do after opening all of the windows, and what does the title have to do with any of this?
Well, within minutes of being home, I ran to the pantry. To save my chocolate chips. Being that I like to bake, I have a wide variety on hand: semi-sweet (mini and regular) and milk chocolate, white chocolate, butterscotch, Andes mint chips, peanut butter chips and caramel bits and almond bark. (This is not a joke.) I stuck them in the fridge, relieved that I wouldn't have to replace them.
On Monday, I remembered a pin I'd stuck to Pinterest not long ago for a single-serving of chocolate-chip cookie dough. Based on the comments, here's the best combination:
1.5 Tbl butter, softened
3 Tbl flour
1.5-2 Tbl brown sugar
splash of milk
splash of vanilla
as many chocolate chips as you want
Oh. my. goodness. I am a girl who loooooves cookie dough, and even I was able to save this for 2 servings 🙂
In the end, that cookie dough probably helped save my sanity, as our a/c wasn't fixed until 3:00pm on Tuesday. The weather on Monday and Tuesday was a HUGE blessing, though, because while it did get pretty warm in here, the days were not horribly hot. In fact, if we'd had a/c, the days would have felt really nice, I'm sure.
God saved the blazing heat for Wednesday through tomorrow, when it's once again easily over 100 in St. Louis, which is something I have no tolerance for in September.
Dear October: kindly come quickly. Love, Me.

As we in Corbyn's Labour Party prepare for the elections in May I think it is crucial that we don't accept the premise that New Labour lost 2 elections because 'we weren't trusted on the economy'.
That is of course true for Tory voters who will never believe the economy is safe in our hands whatever we do. But I don't think it's generally true across the electorate. In fact I would suggest New Labour lost because they accepted the 'austerity' narrative and the economic assumptions of the Tories and thus were so close to the Tories on almost everything that people thought they might as well vote for the actual austerity party rather than a New Labour echo of 'austerity'.
Having a coherent and convincing 'alternative' economic narrative to austerity is what will win us the next election. That will involve challenging the Tory narrative of 'balancing the books' and using the authority of economists like Pikety et al to put forward the Keynsian alternative.
After the Wall St crash in 1929 most Western governments turned to austerity, just as they did in 2008. But this austerity further crashed the Western economies and led directly to the Great Depression of the 1930's with the dust bowls of the USA, the Jarrow marches in the UK and the rise of Nazism in Germany. In the USA Roosevelt's Keynsian, New Deal 'saved' the economy of the USA so that by 1941 they had the resources to join WW2 and fight Japan in the East and Germany in Europe.
After WW2 the 1945 Labour government embraced Keynsian economics which was so successful the Tories also adopted it and this led to 30 years of record-breaking economic growth in the UK from 1945 to 1973. Despite Thatcherite rhetoric the Keynsian mixed economy was the most successful the UK has ever known and by comparison the neoliberal era, 1979-2015, has been a dismal failure. It HAS enriched a tiny minority but for everyone else the appalling financilisation of our economy replacing manufacturing with gambling, has been a disaster causing only sputtering growth with falling wages that have to be counter balanced with overwhelming debt. Neoliberalism has been a disaster and it is not difficult to present that as simple coherent narrative. Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party must do so!

In previous articles, I wrote about what I felt was an excellent way for young people to meet, and that was through setups by recently married couples. The thought behind it was that since the young husband and wife were compatible, it was likely that their friends would also have hashkafot, personalities and interests that would be well-suited – in keeping with the adage, "Birds of a feather flock together."
The young couple could either make a shidduch suggestion and his friend would make a date with her friend – or they could have several of them as guests for Shabbat. In that environment, during a leisurely, non-pressured Shabbat meal, the young people could get an initial glimpse of each other's looks and personality – and go from there if there was a mutual interest.
However, after spending a recent Shabbat with my son and his family, I think this concept of having singles as guests as a way of collectively "introducing" one another, should be expanded.
In addition to my being at my son's Shabbat table, so were my machatunim, their son who was home from yeshiva; a middle-aged divorced man; and two of my daughter-in-law's friends, who are not yet married.
During Friday night dinner, there was much back and forth conversation, with everyone asking or answering questions, (the typical "where are you from, what do you do" ones) and what struck me was the fact that even though some at the table were married, some single, some in their 20's, some a bit older (actually quite a few years older, but who's counting) – we were really getting to know one another.
Even better, we all hailed from different cities and Jewish communities – and most of us of us had, over the years, lived in quite a few, and had friends, relatives or acquaintances all over the United States and Canada.
It occurred to me that our gathering had provided an incredible networking opportunity for both the younger and older singles. Conceivably, one of the 20 something girls – both of whom came from the mid-west, might know of a widow/divorcee looking for a husband in his 40's and suggest her to the divorced man she was chatting with. Or likewise, my machitim could know of a bachur who learns at his Daf Yomi shuir who closely matched what one of the girls had described as her ideal mate. With or without an immediate "ureka! moment"- we could still keep them in mind.
This networking opportunity can and should be replicated at Shabbat/Yom Tov tables in all our communities. It wouldn't matter if there is an age/ hashkafah difference between hosts and guests. Kollel and yeshivish families, for example, have friends or relatives with sons who are "working boys" who might be compatible with their Shabbat guest who is looking for an "earner".
Or 10 year old "Avrumi" whose best friend's mother is divorced, might think that she'd really get along with that funny, friendly, divorced man sitting across from him, cracking those awful jokes – and say something.
The fact is that everybody – married or single, young or old – can suggest a shidduch. No one lives in a vacuum. In our community, where it is common to grow up in one place, go to school in another, and work elsewhere – people know people.
Of course, many suggestions might be totally out of the ball park – but that is the case in many shiddichim, even those presented by professional matchmakers.
But there is always the possibility that there will be a "home run" – and two fewer singles struggling to meet their basherts.
Perhaps baalbatim can get in touch with shadchins for the names of singles who either live or are visiting their community, and invite them as guests for a meal or two, along with a married or single neighbor or friend from the community who also might be from somewhere else originally.
For example, a shadchin in Flatbush tells a baal bayit or his wife that a young man is coming in from LA, and they invite him for Friday night dinner. He also invites a married member of the shul whose wife is from Montreal. Chances are, after doing "Jewish geography" (and even discovering mutual acquaintances – who can be used as references) that a light bulb might go off in someone's head. The former Montrealer might have a childhood friend who moved to Toronto whose daughter is in the parsha and currently studying in New York.
And who knows, a previous guest might one day be instrumental in setting up the hosting family's son or daughter who he/she met when they were teenagers and who are now dating.
It's a win – win situation that involves fulfilling the mitzvah of chachnashat orchid, while potentially being an efficient weapon" against the scourge of the shidduch crisis.

Revelation 13:13-15 New King James Version (NKJV)
13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. 14 And he deceives [a]those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. 15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.

How can you even consider not telling him SOMETHING?
Just say you've enjoyed going out with him but you're not feeling a connection and you think it's best if you end things here, best wishes.

|Danny Paradise, David Swenson, and Rouben Madikians
In the morning session we again divided into three groups. We did Nauli and spinal twists to warm up. One group did Mysore practice, the other group did 2nd series, and the third group did what we are now calling "the old people's practice" with David Williams.
I did the 2nd series and was happy with how far I could go. When I couldn't go any further I started taking pictures.
In the afternoon we had discussion and Pranayama. Today doing the Pranayama was a better experience than the previous day. I continued to sweat during it, but I was less fatiqued. I was looking forward to the deep tissue massage at 4:00. Having fallen off the stage the first day while talking and not looking, I stoved my toe and did something to my neck and shoulder. The therapist went deep. My shoulder spasms became less intense. I had dinner and went to the whirlpool. It, too, was therapeutic.
Here are some pictures of some of the postures I was having problems with. Others weren't.

he could become a comedian.

I was going to write one of my stunning commentaries on life, liberty, and small animals; but decided to wait and see if I need to. The CERN people in Europe are firing up the Large Hadron Collider again. So, we may all be headed to a black hole. If you don't remember or know what I am talking about see the two posts below and/or Google it.
I'm Baaaack from Sept 13, 2009 and Still Here from Nov 7, 2009.
Wonder if any "birds" got 300 feet underground again?
I will admit that finding the Higgs bosun is a facinating prospect, but I still wonder about this thing. Oh well, at least it will be quick...

CASTRO VALLEY, Calif. -- The Chicago Red Stars fell to first-place FC Gold Pride, 2-0, on Saturday in Women's Professional Soccer play at Castro Valley Athletic Stadium.
The Red Stars had to play for approximately 65 minutes with only 10 players on the pitch. In the 25th minute, Red Stars defender Ifeoma Dieke was issued a red card for fouling Gold Pride's Kelley O'Hara in the box.
Chicago avoided any initial damage when Gold Pride's Tiffeny Milbrett missed that particular penalty kick attempt. But Milbrett and O'Hara would make up for it with goals in the 45th and 78th minutes, respectively.
"We hoped to get into halftime scoreless, and them scoring a minute before halftime was a blow for us," Red Stars Head Coach Emma Hayes said of Milbrett's goal. "Chasing the game for 60 minutes is just too difficult for this level."

Dreaming in Emotion
I wanted to post about my weird dreams last night, and realized that would be two weird dream posts in a row. Since reading about and/or listening to other people's dreams can be incredibly boring, I've decided to move them to their own blog, Dreaming in Emotion. That way you can follow them if you actually find that kind of stuff interesting, or not notice them if you don't.
