Silver Core Curriculum Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Pre-2016 and Silver Core Curricula and Classes
What are the major differences between the Pre-2016 and Silver Core Curricula?
View this table to compare the Pre-2016 and Silver Core Curriculum requirements.
Can a student opt to mix and match requirements from both the Pre-2016 and Silver Core Curricula?
No. Your catalog year determines which Core Curriculum you will follow, and you cannot mix and match the requirements between the two Core Curriculums.
If a class previously met Diversity and Fine Arts (e.g., DAN 266), but no longer meets these requirements by the time a student graduates, will the student need to take additional Diversity and Fine Arts classes?
UNR courses that had a designation in the Pre-2016 Core Curriculum will retain that designation until 2025 (unless the department requests removal of the designation), to allow students with catalog years prior to 2016 to complete the program requirements as described in their catalog.
Will classes formerly listed as meeting Diversity still be counted as Diversity or only as Silver CO10?
Previously approved Core Diversity courses will continue to fulfill the Diversity requirement in the Pre-2016 Core. Those that were approved for Silver CO10 and/or CO11 will fulfill those requirements, and some were applied to the Pre-2016 Core Diversity requirement as well.
Will classes continue to be added to the Silver Core Curriculum after August 2016?
Departments may continue to request Silver Core designation as part of the New Course or Course Change Proposal process in Curriculog. If approved, these courses will be added to the course lists in the Core Curriculum section of the catalog.
Will there now be two sets of Core Curriculum requirements in the old and new catalogs?
Catalogs prior to 2016-17 will continue to include the Pre-2016 Core requirements. Beginning with the 2016-2017 edition, catalogs will include only the Silver Core requirements.
For classes that now meet a Core requirement in both the Pre-2016 Core and the Silver Core, will they show as fulfilling the requirement in the student's Academic Advising Report, or will they require a substitution request?
Admissions and Records will be adding both Pre-2016 and Silver Core designations to courses as appropriate. 2016-2017 Academic Advising Reports (AAR) will include the Silver Core requirements. If a Core course does not articulate as it should in the degree audit, please contact Admissions and Records.
Will a list of courses that no longer meet a Core Curriculum designation be created?
Yes, a list will be created and will be posted on the Core Curriculum website when completed.
Transfer Students
If a student transfers with an AA, AS, or AB degree from another NSHE institution, what Silver Core requirements must they complete at UNR?
A student who transfers with a completed NSHE AA, AS, or AB degree will have Veins I and II (Silver Core General Education Requirements) of the Silver Core waived. This does not include waiver of any Core courses that are required by the major program.
If a student transfers with completed IGETC, CSU Breadth, an AA-T or AS-T degree from California OR an AAOT or ASOT from Oregon OR Texas Common Core, what Silver Core requirements must they complete at UNR?
If completion documentation of any of the above has been received by Admissions and Records, Silver Veins I and II (Silver Core General Education) requirements will be waived, except ENG 102 and CO8 (Constitution). This does not include waiver of any Core courses required by the major program. All transfer agreements are subject to catalog policy found in the General Catalog, 3.1 Admission Information.
If a student takes an NSHE commonly numbered course at TMCC that has Silver Core designation at UNR, will it satisfy the Silver Core requirement at UNR?
If the course has a Silver Core designation at UNR, it will satisfy this requirement whether taken here or at TMCC.
Who will be responsible for updating the General Education/Core Curriculum classes on the transfer agreements?
Transfer agreements are updated by Admissions and Records. Transfer courses that have a direct equivalent at UNR will satisfy the same Pre-2016 Core or Silver Core requirements as the UNR course.
If a student transfers from TMCC with an AA degree, are they eligible for a catalog year from their time at TMCC, even though they are now pursuing a baccalaureate degree?
The default catalog year given to all students upon admission to UNR is the matriculation term. However, NSHE transfer students may elect to graduate under the course catalog of the year of enrollment in a baccalaureate level program at an NSHE community college (valid transfer contract may be required). The catalog year used may not be more than 10 years old at the time of graduation. Advisors may contact the Office of Admissions and Records to request an adjustment of catalog year for any transfer student. After a review of the student's transcript to verify the first term in which the student completed coursework required for the baccalaureate program, Admissions and Records will update the student's record.
Returning UNR Students
Are students who return to UNR after 2016 subject to the Silver Core Curriculum requirements?
Students who entered a major program at UNR prior to Summer 2016 may keep their original catalog year after a break in enrollment, provided they return to the same major program, and the catalog used is not over 10 years old.

Friday and Saturday were spent at the pool! I took the girls by myself Saturday, and let's just say I won't be doing that again! Talk about one paranoid Mama!
This bathing suit makes me laugh!
Our little Fish, she could stay in the water all day!
This one on the other hand, seemed to prefer the shade and her toys! (See how this could get difficult for one person to monitor!)
We also took a much needed trip to the Farmer's Market. I have been making pretty much all of Harper's food, I have ended up buying a few jars for when I am in a pinch. So, I am constantly in need of fresh fruits and veggies, and what better place to get them and support our local farmers! Plus, it's always fun to just get out and walk around!
The colors were so vibrant!
So that was our weekend summed up in a few pictures! I hope you all had an awesome weekend as well!
P.S.: Pin it and Spin it will be back next Tuesday PLUS it will be a link up. SO if you have tried anything you have pinned on Pinterest (it could be a craft, recipe, outfit) write a post and link up!
Linking up with Sami for Weekend Shenanigans!

Hi, guys. I thought I'd announce that I don't feel as destroyed anymore. I feel like new life has been breathed into me, as disgusting and gross as that sounds. And it's strange because it happened quite suddenly.
I guess it started as I was having a terrible day. It was a silly terrible day, no real reason. Depressed and stressed out about… What? I don't even know. Friends. Hating everyone and all that. And then I decided to go onto childline and just expel everything. Just say everything that was on my mind. I got through to this really lovely lady called Maria and she was so supportive. She reassured me and encouraged me to just do what I wanted to do. She made me realise that the summer isn't actually over and I still have time. That makes me happy. She was really lovely.
I'm sure this isn't relatable to anyone (when are they ever) but thought I'd post it anyway.

Great news for people who like 2016 polls comically far-out from Election Day: New poll! With a new Republican front-runner! And it's that guy who just said that thing that made all the outrage!
A new poll from CNN/ORC shows that former Arkansas governor and 2008 presidential candidate Mike Huckabee is now leading all other possible GOP presidential candidates with 14 percent of the Republican vote. That lead is followed up closely by Sen. Rand Paul, who carries 13 percent support. Further behind is Chris Christie, who is tied with Jeb Bush for 10 percent of the GOP-leaning vote.
This must be pretty exciting — for Mike Huckabee. Just under two weeks ago at the Republican National Committee's winter meeting, the governor created a bit of a stir when he went off on Democrats for making women "believe that they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing them a prescription each month for birth control because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the government."
Now, he's leading in his second 2016 poll in the span of a week.
The downside for Huckabee? According to CNN's poll, Hillary Clinton is just romping the opposition. In a head-to-head with Christie, CNN finds that Clinton has a 55-39 advantage among registered voters. And that's the most competitive possible outcome. Against Huckabee, Clinton would have a 56-39 lead. She trails no Republicans in any of CNN's head-to-heads.
All of this carries the most important caveat: It's still wildly early to get a real sense of who's going to win a party nomination in 2016, to say nothing of the White House itself. But Clinton is in a historically strong position if she decides to run, no matter whom she winds up going up against.

Thou wast that all to me, love,
For which my soul did pine -
A green isle in the sea, love,
A fountain and a shrine,
All wreathed with fairy fruits and flowers,
And all the flowers were mine.
Ah, dream too bright to last!
Ah, starry Hope! that didst arise
But to be overcast!
A voice from out the Future cries,
"On! on!" - but o'er the Past
(Dim gulf!) my spirit hovering lies
Mute, motionless, aghast!
For, alas! alas! with me
The light of Life is o'er!
"No more - no more - no more" -
(Such language holds the solemn sea
To the sands upon the shore)
Shall bloom the thunder-blasted tree,
Or the stricken eagle soar!
And all my days are trances,
And all my nightly dreams
Are where thy dark eye glances,
And where thy footstep gleams -
In what ethereal dances,
By what eternal streams!
Alas! for that accursed time
They bore thee o'er the billow,
From love to titled age and crime,
And an unholy pillow!
From me, and from our misty clime,
Where weeps the silver willow!

When is a father not a father? In California, it can be when "his child" was conceived through artificial insemination. That's the issue at the heart of new legislation being tracked by Hemet family law attorneys.
In vitro fertilization was recently explored for comedic effect in the Vince Vaughn movie "Delivery Man." But it was a real-life Hollywood scenario that inspired state Sen. Jerry Hill to introduce SB 115 — a bill aimed at updating the state's parental rights statutes to deal with modern fertility and paternity issues.
After attempting to conceive a child together without success, actor Jason Patric and his then-girlfriend turned to artificial insemination. After their son, Gus, was born, the couple eventually broke up, and Patric's ex sued to deny his parental rights. In February 2013, her petition was granted and Patric lost his rights as a father.
Had the couple been successful in conceiving traditionally, Patric's parental rights would be clear. But because Gus was conceived artificially and without a written parental rights agreement in place, California law doesn't recognize Patric's rights as a father. After being a part of his son's life for more than two years, Patric has been relegated to the same parental status as a stranger.
SB 115 has met with mixed reactions:
- The National Organization for Women is concerned that those who conceive via sperm donation from someone they know will fear that "every time the donor comes into the child's home, they're in jeopardy of creating evidence in a custody battle."
- California Cryobank, the nation's largest sperm donor bank, says the bill could have a "devastating impact" on thousands of donor-conceived children.
- But LGBT groups Equality California and the National Center for Lesbian Rights have endorsed the bill, agreeing that parenting rights should be determined by who has acted as parents, even if they didn't document their rights before conception.
If you have a question about parental rights or other family law issues, call for a free initial consultation.

We may spend days considering the style of furnishings we want for our homes, yet we rarely give a thought to where these items originate, or what they're actually made from. The wood for a bookshelf or table, for instance, could come from a tree grown on a large farm or plantation. But it's equally likely—particularly if the item is made of an "exotic"wood like teak or mahogany—that it originated in an endangered old-growth forest in Brazil or Indonesia. The Earth's tropical forests are now disappearing at an alarming rate, yet they remain vital to our everyday lives—sheltering diverse plant and animal species, preventing soil erosion, and moderating global climate.
Much of the more inexpensive "wood" furniture (usually made from particleboard) isn't especially good for people or the planet either. These products often contain toxic substances that can off-gas into your home—including formaldehyde, a suspected carcinogen used in adhesives, paints, and varnishes. Furniture with foam-filled cushions poses another peril. Foam is commonly treated with fire-retardant chemicals called polybrominated diphenyl ethers, or PBDEs. Exposure to PBDEs, which are chemical cousins to the banned PCBs, is particularly harmful to fetuses and can cause brain and reproductive system disorders.
The planet has lost nearly half of its forested area in the past 8,000 years, with the majority of this loss occurring in the 20th century. Between 1980 and 1995 alone, at least 2 million square kilometers of forests were destroyed, an area larger than Mexico.
Poaching of trees is a common practice in "protected" forests. Stealth loggers illegally cut and pull endangered tree species out of forests to sell on the international market at high prices.
Pressure-treated lumber, a material frequently used for playground equipment, often contains arsenic, a toxin that can rub off onto skin and leach into soil.
A recent study revealed high levels of the chemical compounds PBDEs in the breast milk of North American women.
Consumers in many countries can now choose wood carrying the "FSC" label, guaranteeing it was cut from a sustainably managed forest. The independent Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) has certified more than 39 million hectares of such forest worldwide.
Home Depot, the largest wood retailer in the United States, has vowed to buy wood only from sustainably managed forests. Furniture retailer IKEA has made a similar pledge, and avoids using flame-retardant PBDEs and many other toxins in its products.
In 2001, the European Union recognized and banned the use of certain PBDEs in manufacturing. The U.S. is starting to follow suit: in 2003, California voted to ban the manufacture and use of two types of PBDEs starting in 2008.
Opt for second-hand furniture whenever possible. This not only saves trees and other materials, but also prevents useful items from taking up space in landfills.
Look for the FSC label on all wood products you buy. If you don't see it, ask your local retailers to carry items with it.
If you're making your own furniture, use recycled or salvaged wood products. In the United States, SmartWood's Rediscovered Wood Program certifies wood that would otherwise be chipped up or carted to a landfill.
When buying foam-filled furniture, including mattresses, ask whether flame-retardant chemicals were used in their manufacture. Safer substitutes include the wool batting used to encase mattresses—which is naturally flame-retardant.
Get involved when your schools or communities make large wood-product purchases. For outdoor furniture, distribute information about recycled plastic picnic tables, lumber (for playgrounds, for instance), and other products.
When you see teak or other endangered wood species being sold in the marketplace, find out if the retailers know where the wood was cut—and encourage them to seek more environmentally sound alternatives. For more information on endangered wood species, go to www.cites.org.

|Day One, Crag One, Route One
My 65th birthday passed on the way south - must admit that was one milestone I wasn't looking forward to - but onwards and upwards I guess. As the saying goes 'getting old is no fun but it is better than the alternative"!
We have rented a ski apartment for three weeks and first signs are very encouraging, the weather has been good, the place is quiet and I managed 25 routes in the first three days on five separate cliffs - all new to me which was great.
|The Col de Galibier - 8200'
The weather varies between absolutely glorious and a bit on the cool side - record low so far 0C - not sure if this is the norm for here, time will tell!
One week on and we have had a complete mixed bag of weather from hot to cold, rain to snow, thunderstorms and wind - not much chance of getting bored with it. The route tally is now up to 40 and I have lost track of the number of different rock types I have climbed on - variety is the spice of life.

If you follow my Twitter feed or even if you just read the PokerStarsBlog regularly, you know I've become obsessed with Open-Face Chinese Poker. At EPT Sanremo I played for 34 hours straight, then slept for 9 hours, then played for another 20 hours.
I'm not sure there's anyone in the world that is as hooked as I am on this game right now. Shaun Deeb might be up there. He was part of that 34-hour marathon in Italy and he also flew down to Florida in October just so we could play some more. We both find the game to be so much fun for a number of reasons.
For one, it's a relaxing game. Any time that you're playing a game in which you have to decide how much to bet, there's a lot more pressure. For this game, there's no pressure because there's no betting - but there's also still a ton of decision-making throughout the hand. You can make so many different decisions to change the way you're going to play your hand.
Also, because the game is still new, there's not any set strategy yet. No one's "solved" the game. That makes it more fun than some other poker variants where hands are often played in a standard fashion.
There are also a lot of variables in Open-Face. For example, if you're playing in a four-handed game, a lot of times you're going to look at your hand and what you're trying to make and also what the other players' hands are and what they're trying to make. If you lose two out of three spots to another player, you lose one point. But if you lose all three spots you lose six points. That's a massive difference.
It means that sometimes you may be forced to gamble because you're going to lose against everybody, which means losing six points - plus royalties - to each opponent. Sometimes you might be hoping to win just one spot, maybe with a strong ace-high up top which may be good against everyone, and then you only lose three points instead of losing 18.
One of the things that's difficult when you first start playing Open-Face Chinese Poker, especially if you've played regular Chinese Poker, is that the hand values are strange. In regular Chinese Poker, you might have a straight in the back, two pair in the middle, and queens up top.
That hand would be massive in Open-Face. In Open-Face a lot of times you're going to have maybe a pair in the back, a pair in the middle and king-high up top. So I would say learning the hand values is difficult at first.
My advice to new players is to find a friend to play hands with. The more hands you play, the better you'll feel about your understanding of the game. It definitely takes some practice, like any form of poker, to get comfortable at it.

The age old debate, dogs or cats? While most of us have some sort of preference, there are others who just love animals. Let's take a look at some of the benefits of each:
- Ease of care: cats. While you have to have some (hopefully enclosed) space to put their litter box, and have to clean out the litter every so often, they're generally pretty easy to take care of. Dogs on the other hand, have to be taken out for walks, and given a lot of love and attention, no matter how busy or tired you are.
- Love: dogs. Dogs generally want and crave love and affection, whereas there are many cats who don't particularly care. Dogs make you feel wanted and needed, and while some cats do as well, a good portion of them can make you feel like you're their food bowl refiller.
- Cleanliness: cats. Dogs, especially the ones who get taken to the park and on long walks, have a habit of leaving a trail of dirt wherever they go. Whether they're chasing each other at the park, and just happened to jump into the giant pile of leaves and dust, or they're just walking around with dirt on their paws, cats tend to leave the floor exactly how you did when you left for work.
- Sociability: dogs. Cats are often touted as being somewhat anti-social, and don't necessarily need or even want any of your attention. There are times where I've been to someone's house and not even known that they had a cat. The cat hides under the couch or bed or in the bathroom, and I don't even know it's there.
- Loyalty: dogs. Your dog will stick by you through thick or thin. Even when you're too busy going to Crossfit in Seattle to take them to the park, like you promised.
- Being funny: cats. Cats are infamous for doing strange things and ending up in strange places, or doing things that make absolutely no sense except make you bust out laughing.
All in all, having pets is a wonderful investment. Remember to get your pet from a local shelter if possible. Many shelters will cover the first vet bill to make sure that your new pet is in tip top shape and if not, how to nurse them back to being the healthiest they can be.

Aldbrough St John and Forcett Parochial Church Councils have each made similar generous donations to the St James Building Project Fund to help Melsonby on its way to installing toilets and refreshment facilities in the church and turning it into a really useful community space.
The agreement is that both donating parishes have at present given half the promised total sum and the rest will be granted once work on the project starts. However, if Melsonby has an offer of matched funding before then and the larger sum from the other parishes would assist them in gaining an increased matching sum, then the money will be given sooner.

somewhere between the stiff
tonic on the rock and crinoline
mist blanking the frozen lake,
you walked the backwater with
wild December strobes traced
like fish ribs against the dark.
Clay ground hummed through
sky's chalice's ice, pent in slits
where creeping vines pressed
themselves with your soles into
the bones of every small thing
scattered in panic. So you roved
tight in the tripwires of senses,
dragging corners and joints like
amulets; each caress whispered
from stillness needling to fetes
of filaments, cossetted with light.

I've been on leave since last Thursday and having a great old time, but haven't hit the sewing room much so far.
Spending lots of time in my house made me realise how much STUFF is in it, particularly in my sewing room. So, I've been having a bit of a spring clean. I went on a foray to Ikea for some new sewing room furniture - which is being delivered in the next few hours - I'm excitedly pacing the floor waiting for it. Although when it comes to trying to put it together I'll be a bit less excited!
Do you think there is such a thing as Ikeaphobia? I mortally dread going in there. It is my version of hell... with trolleys. Once inside the doors there is no escape until you are spat out the other side with another hundred thousand customers hours later. Going there during the school holidays added another dimension of fear.
I was impressed, though, that Ikea currently has a 'Sew Me What You Got' competition using Ikea Textiles - and you can win a $1500 gift card, which is a great idea and a great prize. Although as it involves going into the Store to buy the fabric... noooooo too scary.
On the actual sewing front, I've cut out muslins for a jacket, t-shirt and 3 pairs of trousers. The first muslin I've sewn up is this t-shirt that I came across on this site How to Fashion Design with Bob Martin. I love the shape in the pattern pics. It looks comfy but a little bit different.
It isn't too flattering on me - not sure this is the best shape for rectangles. It sort of hangs there and you can't see it much from the photo but has giant round pouches under the back of the arms which is a very bad look if you do anything but clamp your arms to your sides. This needs tweaking! I'll try cutting down the very large underarm gussets and see how that goes.
Next post when I've sewn something / constructed some furniture.....

Bloomberg indicates he'll consider government-aided waterfront retreat
Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Thursday made his strongest statement yet in recognition of an effort by some Hurricane Sandy victims to get government help to move away from, rather than rebuild in, the flood-prone precincts of the city they've long called home.
"I'll have to take a look at it," he said, when I asked him about a group of people on Staten Island who want to take advantage of a FEMA program that enables states to buy out flood-prone properties as a form of environmental mitigation.
Story Continued Below
"The state has talked about it," continued Bloomberg. "The federal government has talked about it. We'll do anything we can to help people, and if they want to sell and the government's willing to buy ..."
Prior to Governor Andrew Cuomo's announcement on Monday, via the New York Times, that he was planning to spend up to $400 million buying out flood-vulnerable shorefront homes, relying on federal Department of Housing and Urban Development funds, Staten Island homeowners and elected officials were working under the assumption that any such buyouts would use FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funding. That program would require both Cuomo's support and also that of the mayor. Thus far, the Bloomberg administration has issued only noncommittal statements about the prospect of helping homeowners get buyouts.
Asked this morning whether Cuomo's new funding mechanism would require the support of the local municipality where the homeowner resides, the governor's office had no immediate comment.
Lauren Passalacqua, a spokeswoman for Bloomberg, emailed that the administration wasn't sure yet either.
"The city obviously doesn't have money to do that," Bloomberg said on Thursday.
The FEMA program covers only 75 percent of buyout costs, and it falls to the local municipality and the state, between them, to cover the rest.
Some climate change experts, like Columbia University's Klaus Jacob, argue that the most effective way for New York City to protect itself from the threat of climate change and rising sea levels is to abandon those neighborhoods most susceptible to flooding.
Bloomberg seems philosophically indisposed to that kind of thing: he believes in rebuilding and dismisses the idea that the city should consider sea walls to protect itself.
To bolster his argument that living by the seashore carries risks, has for time immemorial, and there's little we can do about it, he frequently invokes King Canute, the Danish king, who, as legend would have it, had his throne carried to the seaside so he could order the tides to retreat, and thereby demonstrate man's powerlessness before nature.
He said as much, again, on Thursday.
"Our strategy is to get people back into their houses as quickly as possible," he said. "The people that want to sell, I think generally, probably a few exceptions, their houses were really destroyed and for them to rebuild from scratch is a very big deal and something maybe they can't afford it, or maybe they just think they don't want to live on the shore anymore, where unfortunately, floods occur. And they're not generally anywheres near as big as this one.
"But I was talking to somebody a couple weeks ago, she and her family have a house in Breezy Point since the '30s. They've been flooded out seven times, and they've rebuilt every time, and they're gonna rebuild again."

(For those of us who want relevance of what they knew and know)
What? Who even does that anymore? Some of us do and after this conversation you may find this an addition to your practice of what we call getting grounded and operating from our "center" rather than our head – which is already too full to be discerning anyway.
I may lose some folks here…stay and see. The important awareness is we CANNOT be all things to all people although most of us have tried – A topic for another blog if you follow.
Ironing is my meditation – always has been. I just did not realize it until a few years ago and that means it took 5 decades to put words to my experience standing at the board.
Why or how does this happen? Well, for those lucky enough to be doing their own cleaning, especially the "big-time" cleaning of yesteryear – it is the function of physical labor – perhaps the movement – that allows us to free the mind from the constriction of the myriad "have-to s'" of daily life and actually find creativity while doing what we term "mindless" work.
I think of ironing as an exercise, rather than what some think as exercise…playing tennis or running (not so much) – except for golf which can be a walking meditation. And it is not competitive or exhausting. This exercise gives you space to think and create. And you can do it at home and alone.
Personally, I cannot tell you how many revelations and ideas just float in (keep pen and paper nearby). Saves gas too.
And I haven't even mentioned the "other" result of ironing – fresh, clean, natty "soldiers" in our closet or hanging on the doors waiting for their trip to the closet (kind of even makes you want to organize your closet).
Sometimes this is the ONLY ordered piece of our day, week and month. How much of what you do can be measured and appreciated like this?
Does ironing have a special season? Sure, Summer, that halcyon time etched in our brain from childhood of the good times expected or experienced – to this day, no matter what – is magic. There is more to iron – more ironing, more magic.
Back in the 70's with the advent of polyester and the 80's with wrinkle free, no-iron cottons, we were given the freedom to never bring out the dreadful "board" again. A loss indeed. Ironing makes us stop and not just think but to consider, expand and FIND something we are looking for – that elusive idea, the missing piece.
We do this everyday when we go to work or care for ourselves or family. How often do we realize at week, month or years' end we are not even aware of the passing time or even how we enjoyed, if we did, any part of this passing time. Could we count the joys, contributions and a sense of accomplishment?
The old maxim "you are making a choice when you are not making a choice" gets our attention. Make a choice to support every action and attitude by awareness and intention. Choose to change your attitude and environment – thereby the behavior and outcome you want in your work and life.
Most of us are encoded by our culture at home and in the world we live to unconsciously perform our daily working and living without realizing how much our comfort, gifts and talents as well as our values, success and self reliance we abdicate in the process.
If, the big "if", we could find a sense of balance and self empowerment, would our life look and feel different, perhaps better if not more productive?
Beyond Feng Shui… connecting the dots with your inner and outer spaces.
Feng Shui expert and practitioner Bonnie Primm, of Norfolk, Va., joins host Nora Firestone for an in-depth look at the ancient Oriental practice, including how, where and why we might implement Feng Shui in our own lives.

Since mid-June, Chilean high school and university students have staged school and campus takeovers, strikes and protests that thousands of people have supported, demanding deep reforms in the education system. A generation of student leaders and an organized base have placed the issue of free and high-quality education at the center of the national debate.
Latinamerica Press correspondent Rocío Alorda spoke with Francisco Figueroa, a journalism student and vice president of the University of Chile's Federation of Students (FECH), one of the pillars of the Confederation of Students of Chile (CONFECH), a group that has been on the front line of negotiations with President Sebastián Piñera's administration officials to end for-profit education.
Why do you think this movement has been historic?
It's been historic because what's being proposed and accomplished are things that were unthinkable for the last 20 years, and it has achieved enormous social breadth. The political fact that allows us to say this is that the [student] movement put an end to the social conditions underlying the "transition" [to democracy that began in 1990]. In other words, the "transition" was possible because part of the people trusted the Coalition [the center-left coalition that governed between 1990 and 2010] and the right. Today that legitimacy of the political class does not exist and there is a tremendous legitimacy for new social actors who are entering the political arena. So it's historic because it's the closure of a political cycle.
So are we dealing with a new era?
Yes, a new era, [and] we don't yet know who is going to lead it or who's going to sort it out. But it has definitely, definitely opened up.
Today the political scene is very flexible and things can happen that were unimaginable before. What has been the progress made by the student movement?
Specifically I can think of two dimensions. The topics and value judgments on these issues have come to light in unexpected ways. For example, today financial profit in education is deeply questioned, something that was impossible to suggest before. The idea of strengthening public education has really taken off, it's considered a necessity. In addition there has been a critical assessment of education. No one can say that education in Chile is not in crisis and does not contribute to inequality, and political actors have had to realign themselves based on this.
Second, this movement has made the government commit to repeal laws that prevented student organization in higher education institutions created after 1980.
Progress has been made in student aid issues and while there is still no document signed [by the government], next year students will have better conditions. A lot of progress has been made in student organization, a number of student unions have flourished in areas where there hadn't been any, and the quality of debate in the university community has deepened.
Will there ever be free education in Chile?
I think so, because I am optimistic that the new social movements, the left, will get into government. I think that with the social power needed, we are going to push that reform through. That may not happen tomorrow or in five years, but I think it will happen.
Did the student movement bring to light the crisis in Chile's democracy?
Yes, absolutely, because it not only revealed the crisis in education but also the crisis and the failure of this democracy to process social conflicts, to resolve social expectations. Today it is evident that the ceiling that this democracy puts on is too low and can't continue.
What was the catalyst that brought to light the crisis in education?
Good question. For a long time, it was said that these young people were ni ahí, not there [a Chilean expression used by young people to express disinterest] and that there was pure individualism. This breaks down all those theories. I think students see the crisis every day in their schools, in their universities, they notice the authoritarianism there. They see in the media the paradoxes of politicians who don't have any arguments and don't have the support of the people, but have so much power. As they see it daily in their schools, their families, their universities, that all comes together and just clicks on them, and they unite and say: "For years we were told we were in a developed country, and it wasn't really like that."
It's said that this is a generation without fear.
Yes, compared to previous generations that were limited by their experience under the dictatorship, when dissenting with the parties, with the government, was often synonymous with death, this generation doesn't have those fears. So that's a considerable advantage.
Currently there are a few perspectives on solutions to the conflict. What are those?
We, as FECH, stand behind the need for the major disagreements between the government and the students to be resolved by a referendum [on the type of education the citizens of Chile want]. We don't know exactly how the movement's strategy plays into this, because every week the scenarios change, but we don't think it's possible for positions supported by the majority not be implemented. When the people massively support the end of for-profit [education], or more than 70 percent of people support our demands and these aren't implemented, that's synonymous with not being in a democracy. That's why we think a referendum needs to be used as a tool.
Is there a future for these new political generations in traditional spaces?
I don't think it's going to be easy because the majority of [us] students aren't part of official political parties that have the possibility to participate in elections. So the political future of this generation also depends on the existence of institutional conditions that allow it. I think a tough fight is on the horizon to change the political system, and with that we are going to run into resistance from the Coalition and the right. In that sense, a battle is coming up because it's a generation with a lot of social support but resistance from the political class, so there might be new conflicts generated by this issue.

Express has a new compelling print campaign and online video PSA which feature a range of young Hollywood talent including Ciara, Jesse McCartney, Scout Taylor-Compton and Brea Grant. Photographed against the LA skyline and dressed exclusively in Express' Fall 2009 collection, the campaign brings a relevant and cool vibe to a very serious issue facing this demographic: Driving responsibility and exercising control on the road.
"The Express customer is connected to the world through their phones and handheld communication devices -- mostly via text messaging. And while it's one thing to text and shop, it's an entirely different issue when people are doing it on the road, and that's what made this a really easy cause to get behind," said Michael Weiss, president and chief executive officer of Express.
NOW YOU CAN JOIN THIS INITIATIVE: Express is offering a promotion to anyone who views the PSA (www.express.com) featuring the above mentioned celebrities and agrees to the terms of RADD's responsible driving guidelines with a simple click ("I will not text and drive oath"). This will also allow them to download a voucher entitling them to a free limited edition GWP T shirt when they make any denim purchase in store or online while supplies last throughout the month of August.
THIS JUST IN: Express is staging the FANTASY RIDE CONTEST, inviting people to submit an image of themselves showcasing their best personal style. One lucky winner will be selected by a panel of Express judges to win a trip to attend a Ciara concert with backstage access and a $500 Express gift card. Customers will also be able to text their vote once 10 finalists have been identified. Additionally, three runner ups will be selected to win $250 Express gift cards. The Contest runs through August 31st.

Eating hotel food for days together can be boring, as outside food is high in fats, calories and sodium.
Home cooked food is healthy and safe; so why not to cook this simple and traditional recipe 'salted pongal'. It is nutritious, appealing flavor, exciting taste and aroma; rather it is one pot balanced meal.
Traditionally it is the festive dish on the occasion of pongal festival in south India, served on banana leaf. In my opinion this traditional delicacy is very good for any day. It suits today's office going and busy modern lifestyle, an excellent food for all of us.

- Green chili: 1 no.
- Ginger: 2" piece

- Take an earthen pot, boil 5 cup of water, when water starts boiling; add mixture of washed rice and dal.
- Add salt and turmeric powder along with one tablespoon of ghee, cook until it is done. (About 10-15 minutes). Keep aside.
- After tempering/seasoning Salted pongal (south Indian recipe) is ready.
- Note: Pressure cooker can be used instead of earthen pot.
- Tempering/seasoning:
- Take fry pan, put 2 tablespoon of ghee, and fry cashew nut till light brown; take it out and keep aside.
- Add cumin seed, sputter it for few seconds; add chopped ginger, asafoetida, curry leaves and green chili; stir fry for few seconds on high flame, add crushed black pepper, put off the flame, Seasoning is ready.
- Add seasoning and fried cashew nut in prepared pongal and stir it.
- Now Salted pongal (south Indian recipe) is ready to serve with masala Sāmbhar, ulundu vada, and pickles.

Stage II cancer at 26 and now metastatic cancer at 31. Yep, I'm pretty much an overachiever. Found out my cancer was back nine days before my wedding. Doing my best to focus on the living part instead of the dying part. I think I'm hilarious.
Thursday, January 17, 2013
The Blame Game
Never the less, I have been told by many, many people, who don't have any medical or oncological training, that my cancer has a cause. Some people think it was the hormones from the birth control pill, others think it was stress, others think it was the food I eat or the deodorant I used, and others have blamed it on our environment. I continue to assure them that my entire medical team is baffled but regardless of genetic testing being negative, having no family history, and being only twenty six when I was diagnosed, they feel as though they know the answer.
In the beginning, I would let this kind of thing go, or just agree with the different conclusions to the cause of my cancer but I am starting to get annoyed – pissed even – because I think this blame game that we are playing is detrimental to our health. On Facebook yesterday I saw a picture of a bald woman, obviously hooked up to chemo, with IV bags lingering everywhere with a picture of a green fruit in the forefront and it said 'The Soursop [it is some kind of fruit] – Totally ignored by the criminally murderous pharmaceutical industry, this medicinal tropical fruit kills cancer cells up to 10, 000 times more effectively than their expensive failure called chemotherapy with no side effects.' Are you fucking serious? This just pisses me off. This picture blames me for losing my hair, for feeling like shit for 6 months, for not having a breast anymore, for taking a year off work, for everything that comes with cancer. It's saying that I had a choice and when I had to choose my course of survival, I chose chemotherapy; a treatment that has horrible side effects and may have left me infertile instead of a simple fruit. What an idiot! The choice is so obvious, pick the fruit you moron, you like fruit, and it's 10000 times better than chemo and the bonus? No side effects. Man, people are stupid who decide to go through chemo. (You see where I'm going with this?).
What pisses me off even more is that I know of women who have been fit their entire lives, who don't smoke or drink and who eat organically and guess what – they got cancer. Is their cancer somehow not their fault but because I didn't eat organically and am overweight, my cancer is my fault? I was told by a doctor who specializes in nutrition and health that at 26 years old, it is physically impossible for me to be the reason for my cancer – I have not had enough time to be the cause because in 26 years, my body cannot produce a tumour because of something that I've done. Wow, did that feel good to hear. It doesn't give me a free pass to live a reckless life but it does relieve some of the guilt that I have felt about somehow causing my own cancer due to stupid shit like this Facebook post (as someone who doesn't smoke, drinks maybe 3 drinks a month, and has a relatively healthy diet).
This soursop fruit might be wonderfully healthy and it might have cancer killing agents but I absolutely detest when people who have never had cancer preach about how they would react if they were faced with it. I fully support alternative medicine and if anything, I am envious of those who are brave enough to refuse chemo because they believe in a more natural route but to say that chemo doesn't work or that drinking green tea will cure the aggressive cancer tumour growing at a rapid pace in my breast is morally irresponsible and ill informed. And oddly enough, in all of the research that I did on breast cancer, treatment, chemo, fertility, etc. etc. etc. I found actual data and research about how chemo works and the survival rate and yet, I didn't come across one thing that said 'soursop is the cure.'
When I initially read this Facebook post (along with a variety of other ones that say marijuana will cure cancer, eating sugar is a sure way to get cancer, drinking green tea is a sure way to avoid it, etc.) I was pretty angry and it led to a tweet that resulted in a number of replies that I want to share with you (keep in mind that you only have 140 characters in a tweet so grammar doesn't really count on Twitter).
My original tweet – 'I hate reading about how people who have never had cancer would not do chemo and would instead eat a certain fruit or drink a special tea.'
From @ChristinaNewman – 'talking to hubby about this – I used to be that girl – refused treatment for 11 months till I realized I would die w/o treatment.' I loved her honesty. You just don't know how you would react unless you are faced with these decisions.
From @zapladybug 'When I was first diagnosed *two* people told me green tea cures #breastcancer. Two. To my face. And they were sober.' I loved this. It was retweet worthy. Seriously, who says that?
From @arielnoriega5 'Agreed! People think they would do one thing but when you are put in the situation, one thing is clear… treatment!! #Life'. Yep, couldn't agree more.
From @terriwingham 'Seriously. I think it's total garbage as I sip my red wine ;-) Everything in moderation even moderation is my mantra :)'. Terri, you're so friggin' great!
From @slieks 'Even worse when they try to convince you it's the key to your survival.' Couldn't have said it better myself.
From @lexieann73 'Agree! Unless they have been there and done that they should keep their mouth shut.' I don't pretend to know how I would treat MS if I was diagnosed and the same should be said for cancer.
From @iamnotcancer 'After I finished chemo, an acquaintance told me a friend's mother was cured by marijuana oil. Pot cures.' Don't forget your green tea!
From @nancebeth 'I was told that grilled food caused my #breastcancer and that there was an herbal tea available that would cure it'. Aha! I knew there was a tea for that.
To my cancer peeps – thanks for listening, this post was brewing for months. To non-cancer peeps, please be very conscious of telling people why you think they have cancer and how to treat their cancer and don't forget that sometimes bad cancer happens to good people, and instead of trying to get to the bottom of it, accept it – we have.

So true & well said. People want to believe there's a REASON so THEY don't have to worry. My favorite was going to an in-home party and hearing it was the cleaning products I'd been using. Came home crying and my DH took my hands, looked at me gravely and said, "Now, hon. We both know there hasn't been NEARLY enough cleaning going on around here for that to be it". One of the great During-Cancer Laughs!!!!!ReplyDelete
I laughed out loud the first time, then read this to my boyfriend, and we both laughed out loud. Hate that you were part of the blame game, love that it ended in laughter.ReplyDelete
I love quivervoice's husband. That's for starters...ReplyDelete
And second.. Katie... don't you KNOW the CURE is in a closet in some drug company???
Keep the apricot pits, coffee enemas and whateverthef*kelse they got going on coming my way. We call it SNAKE oil....
I'm in the midst of supporting the lung cancer people on my blog. I feel horribly because besides being blamed, they are shunned. While we are bathing in pink ribbons they are left with nothing. I supposed that's how/why I missed your tweet.
Well said, as ALWAYS....
I remember when my step-dad was dying of lung cancer, several people seemed to think the most supportive thing they could do was research "natural cures", and share that information with my mom. One friend showed up with jumbo-sized containers of whey protein, and all these photocopies about how it will heal everything from warts to cancer. He was very put out when he found out that Mike was too sick to try taking it.ReplyDelete
I think sometimes it's not about blame, but rather about helplessness. The need to do something to help, even when help is impossible. Of course, when it's total strangers, and a year later, that's totally a different story.Replies
I wrote a post a few months back called Lost in Translation (http://lovelykatielumps.blogspot.ca/2012/10/lost-in-translation.html) and I talked about the difference between what people said and what they meant. When someone told me about her aunt who died of breast cancer last year, it was difficult not to say 'Why are you telling me about another person who died from a disease that I have?' but I learned that they were trying to connect. What they were saying is 'I know how painful this must be for you because I have some experience with cancer.' I am grateful that I could see past the words and explore the meaning.
And you're so right that people feel helpless. The best way I can explain it is to compare it to raising children. I don't have kids and so if a friend of mine was having trouble with one of her kids, it wouldn't be very helpful for me, some without kids, to go over and tell her what to do. Instead, I would ask her how I could help her and listen about her struggles. It's not my place to offer advice about something that a)I don't have experience with and b)have not been asked to. Does this make sense?
Thanks for connecting, I really appreciate your comment.

dear katie,ReplyDelete
i can understand how this post was brewing for some time - what a bunch of thoughless (and i mean that in a most literal way) claptrap you have had to endure. it begs the question when in the world will people keep their opinions to themselves, AND realize that assigning BLAME for another's disease is just plain cruel and s-t-o-o-o-p-i-d. this was a great post, and i hope you feel much better after writing it.
love, xo,
karen, TCReplies
Karen, I do feel better after writing it.Delete
I quite honestly don't think people are trying to be cruel, I just don't want to be told how to be a cancer patient/survivor the same way I wouldn't tell a man how to be a man or a mother how to be a mother. I am neither a man nor a mother so I can't speak from experience. No one is trying to intentionally offend me (at least I hope not) but to say that eating fruit will cure cancer and calling chemo a failure is irresponsible. It's just not that cut and dry.
Thanks for the message,
Ugh. When my husband was diagnosed people seemed almost angry that he had lived a healthy life and there was nothing concrete to blame it on. His cancer is extremely rare and even then is almost never seen in anyone under 60. He was 42.ReplyDelete
Hearing/reading people on the internet saying that X, Y, and Z are cures for cancer and the pharmaceutical companies are just keeping them hidden really makes me rage.Replies
Thank you for this. When someone tells me 'You know they have a cure for cancer, but there is too much greed in the world so they aren't releasing it' I want to ask them what good that does to both tell me that and think that way. I have no idea if that's true but they make it sound like I was dooped and that the pain that I felt/continue to feel is unnecessary. I kind of think it trivializes my experience to be honest with you.Delete
I am a full supporter of people trying alternative medicine - I certainly have done a lot of research on different approaches - but it's when people start telling me that my approach is wrong or how they would have dealt with it differently (having never had cancer, I feel as though it's somewhat easy to throw out opinions) that I get frustrated.
I admire your courage of what you feel that is your choice.. I too was DX with cancer two years ago and had to face the world of chemo.. I am not disagreeing with you, but I know there is other ways to manage cancer. With a lot of research I found other options and acted on them. I was able to manage my cancer with modern technology and natural remedies. This is called FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE.
Knowledge is power and if I can help others to open up to what is out there, that can manage cancer without surgery, chemo and radiation why not... I feel it is every ones choice on what they need to do for themselves....Managing cancer is a life change and not one thing will cure it.... But to blame one for cancer is just wrong... It happens to everyone and you should be able to make the decision on what type of quality of life you want... I have a web site that I started during my treatment and have continued it with all kinds of ways of preventions and ways to handle situations with cancer.
It is only to help, not to hinder.... KNOWLEDGE IS POWER and why would you not want others to know that there are other ways to manage cancer?
Just because I did not have chemo and lose my hair does not mean that I do not understand what you have gone through... I had cancer and feel different and besides for I had several members of my family that had been affected with this illness. They all had chemo and side effects.
Check out my journey before you hate my guts for thinking out side the box... www.thejourneytogoodhealth.blogspot.comReplies
Hate your guts? I loved your comment!Delete
I certainly don't think alternative medicine is wrong, I think I made that clear in my post. I admire your approach to your cancer but that's just it, it's your cancer and my cancer was my cancer so for me to tell you that you NEED chemo is not appropriate the same way I don't want to hear that my choice was wrong, because I made an informed decision and it was right for me. I loved when someone came to me and had a discussion about choices, approaches, and alternatives when it came to cancer. It is the preaching that drives me. It is the 'you know, I wouldn't get treatment if I had cancer, I would do yoga to rid myself of the tumour' - that pisses me off.
I have a difficult time listening to someone preach about how they would deal with cancer if they were ever faced with it. As I mentioned in a previous comment, I feel as though it's comparable to me telling a friend how to raise her child. I don't have children, so I don't think it would be fair to tell her how I would mother my child because the truth is no matter how many books you read or people you talk to, unless you've experienced something, you just can't fully understand it.
Something else that I didn't address was different forms of cancer too, there are different types, different locations, and different stages and to say that one thing will cure all cancers is irresponsible - like you said (and I love) 'managing cancer is a life change and not one thing will cure it.'
I am always open to discussions, I just don't want to be preached to. I have put a lot of pressure on myself to do this cancer thing 'right' and as I move along in this 'journey' I learn more and more that there is no right way to do this and I think the same can be said for treatment - there is no right way, there is only the way that you choose.
I want to make it clear that I am not against alternative medicine or approaches. It would be closed minded of me to say that chemo or surgery is the only (or correct) way but it was the right approach for me.
Thanks again for reaching out and connecting,
My name is Tom and I drive for a local Breast Coalition here on Long Island. It has been my honor to meet such courageous women who are going through what you are. I know very little of what they have gone through medically, but they do confide in me with other things. We talk, we laugh, we cry. They are fighters. I love my job, and I wish it didn't have to be something that needed to be done. I call them "my ladies". They inspire me as you have in this piece.

Thank you for taking the time to write to me. This post has certainly generated a lot of dialogue and your comment was so refreshing.

I loved sour sop when I lived on Antigua years ago! Guess I didn't enjoy enough of it, hmm? That's the ticket! If only I would have known, I might have eaten more and avoided becoming a member of the BC club. If only it was that simple. Thanks for the great post!
I love it! I hope hoping someone was going to say that they used to eat a lot of soursop! Thank you for this. Again, I am not against alternative medicine but to come right out and call chemo a failure and soursop the cure is morally irresponsible.
Thanks for taking the time for letting me know that someone tried soursop and still got cancer...
Okay, so I was told by a "friend" that eating too much bacon is way I got cancer. Another "friend" told me it was sugar. Another "friend" told me she could cure my cancer with some herbal b.s. And after my mastectomy, a nurse checking my vitals at 4:00 a.m. told me I probably got cancer from eating a lot of grilled food.ReplyDelete
Love your blog, check mine out at nancebeth.blogspot.comReplies
Thanks Nancebeth!Delete
I don't get it because there are people who don't eat bacon who get cancer, there are people who don't eat sugar and they get cancer, etc. etc. etc. so why do we do this to each other? Is the bacon person therefore saying that if we stop feeding our children bacon that no one will ever get cancer? Or is only people who have no other reason for getting cancer (hormones, genetics, exposure to second hand smoke, etc.), are they the only ones who should avoid bacon?
This kind of thing just drives me up the wall.
Thank you so much for your honesty! Can't wait to check out your blog!

Excellent post, Katie. The worst thing you can do for anyone with cancer is to place blame. Listen, support, help - but please, no blame.ReplyDeleteReplies
That means a lot coming from you. Thank you!Delete
It is shocking how many people tell me the reason for my cancer. I don't walk around telling parents the reason their children are acting up because I don't have children, how would I know? It's maybe not a perfect comparison, but I think it holds some truth.
Thanks again,
Spot on, Katie! I have to admit that when I was first diagnosed (at 32), I ran through the same exercise -- what did I do/eat/drink/rub against to cause this to happen to me?! I felt like it must somehow be my fault. I think finding a "reason" or a "cause" gives us some meaning to such a crappy situation. And the unfortunate truth (as pointed out by one of my friends upon hearing about my diagnosis) is that sometimes life is a shit sandwich. And there's really no "reason" -- but I love that you are giving it purpose by sharing your thoughts!ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Molly!Delete
Thanks! Yes, in the beginning I think it was natural for me to seek out the truth behind me cancer but after seeing medical professional after medical professional totally baffled by my file, I learned that it wasn't because I took the pill or ate bacon or used deodorant it's because sometimes life is a shit sandwich!
Thank you for your wonderful comment. I am grateful for your 'me too' reply to my feelings.

Being a cardiac nurse and avid exerciser, I always tell my friends "Go ahead and smoke and drink....I led this healthy life and here I am with a bald head."ReplyDelete
No doubt, blaming is counterproductive and harmful and causes you to be unable to love yourself.
The thing is, if the doctors can't tell me why I got it, then it's really up to me to find the answer in keeping it at bay (or at least being the best I can be for however long I have) That's where my search for "health" has taken me.
In the end it all comes down to how you want to live....accept it and move on? Or question "the cause" for the rest of eternity.
And when people ask "Why did you get cancer?" you can always say "The doctors think it was answering too many stupid questions."
I literally laughed out loud. Thank you for some comic relief.Delete
I have to agree with you whole heartedly that it is up to us as cancer patients and survivors to search out what is healthy for us and acceptance is key.
Thanks again for the hilarious reason for my cancer, I may use that in the future.
Excellent post, Katie. I know people generally mean well, but still... sometimes things said are pretty "out there" aren't they? Sometimes things just happen. We don't get only "as much as we can handle" and no more. Everything doesn't happen for a reason. And sometimes there isn't anyone or anything to blame. Thanks for speaking your mind on this.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Nancy. And yes, I agree, no one is out to hurt my feelings (and I have written a lot about that too)but it's important to speak/write about these kind of issues because I think issues like this start a dialogue and help open up the lines of communication.Delete

Most people, upon being diagnosed, cordon off their memories with yellow tape and start spraying mental Luminol everywhere. They sift through the evidence and pounce on any clue: "So, THAT's what caused my cancer! It was Colonel Mustard in the library with the carcinogenic lead pipe! I knew it!ReplyDelete
Hi Katie have you seen this video from Jenny Saldana:
Very funny!!
I think on a personal level I would love to have some proof cancer wasn't my fault. I know it wasn't...I'd just love to have some evidence....
If only Jessica Fletcher worked in cancer research. "If you lived in Cabot Cove from 1984-1996, there was a pretty good chance that someone was going to murder your ass," this writer observes. "With a body count of up to eight per episode, Cabot Cove experienced an outbreak of no less than 800 murders during the time that Jessica Fletcher lived there."

Hi Katherine and yes, I wouldn't be heart broken if a doctor was able to pinpoint my cancer but knowing that will never happen, it can be overwhelming to constantly try to convince others that your cancer wasn't caused by their reasons.ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for connecting,
Thank you, Katie, for making me smile about a subject that usually has me seething. I've been told that I attracted my cancer by thinking negative thoughts - this was from a complete stranger who had no clue as to how I think or what I think about. I've had two people stride over to me across crowded rooms with a messianic gleam in their eye, before launching into a fervent stream-of-consciousness sermon about how I must give up chemo etc and follow their cause immediately because they have the knowledge and power to aave me alone. Ive had a good friend tell me that she was worried the chemo hadn't worked for me because I was still overweight, surely I'd have lost weight if it was being effective? I smile beautifically, fume inwardly, and then I used it all as richly comical material in a stage play about my cancer last year. To watch the audience roar with laughter was sweet revenge indeed! Love your blog btw. Yvonne xReplyDelete

Satchmo at the Waldorf by Terry Teachout. Directed by Gordon Edelstein.
Reviewed by J. Peter Bergman
"If I can't play anymore. . .who am I?"
Jazz is a career journey that takes a man down many dark streets. At the age of seventy Louis Armstrong in his glamorous dressing room at the Waldorf -Astoria Hotel finishes his last set of the night with a session of remembrance that brings to light all that haunts him in his latter days. His fourth marriage has brought him some joy but even that relationship now leaves him feeling deserted as does his long-standing arrangement with his manager Joe Glaser. Glaser's death and his seeming betrayal of their long friendship is the demon that continually creeps into Satchmo's conscious mind in this new one-man play at Shakespeare and Company's Tina Packer Playhouse.
Jazz, even in Armstrong's subtle hands, is not always an accessible music. Too many want to grasp it and can't. That sense of remove from the mainstream is part of the journey that Glaser forces upon his client and friend and even though he is achieving a number one hit, ousting the Beatles from the top spot, with "Hello, Dolly!" Armstrong cannot seem to remember the tune. "It's really not a very good song," he says of the piece that moves his career into topnotch success, even bringing him a guest spot with Barbra Streisand in the film version of the show.
It is the death of Glaser - who has guided Louis and moved him along from obscure trumpet player in Chicago to movie, recording and television star, from Harlem clubs to the Waldorf - that opens the wounds that won't heal. Armstrong has anticipated a piece of the pie he has helped to create and instead finds himself shunted aside for a seeming white cohort of the white manager who the musician has trusted for thirty years. Playwright Terry Teachout exposes truths about this relationship that were probably never revealed to the musician himself. What we know enlightens us to the true tune of tragedy: betrayal through the lack of understanding.
Gordon Edelstein has created a riveting picture of the elderly jazzman with the unyielding heart and mind of the actor John Douglas Thompson who plays Armstrong, Glaser and the later jazz fixture Miles Davis. Edelstein moves his actor into and out of the three characters with light and shadow, altering the space in our eyes and the man at the center of the lights that illumine each of them. He has worked with his actor to create a recognizable persona in an instant. He has clearly gotten into the deepest parts of each one to reveal with a look, a gesture, a word carefully chosen from the lexicon of street language, the inner core of each of them.
Thompson, a master at character, proven over and over with this company in the past half dozen years, pulls each of his men out of the darkness of the music that gently supports the scenes. With vocal agility, facial flexibility and the varied postures that represent each of the three Thompson makes us know instantly whose voice, whose thoughts and expressive utterances we are being given.
His Miles Davis is a killer disguised as a lover of music. There is a violence in this man that Teachout and Thompson bring to the fore with two short monologues and a distinct light change. He chills to the bone any white member of the audience as he expresses his complete contempt for what his white audiences bring to his music.
A hair's breath later it is Armstrong himself crying out against his own people for deserting him at this downtown boite and leaving him at the mercy of a white audience that so clearly adores him. He feels the condemnation of an entire race for his accessibility, that flaw that made him such an international star and such a remarkable proponent of all things American when he went overseas.
Glaser is a force to be reckoned with, a man so vulgar and so mean that when it is made clear that he does feel affection and a remarkable loyalty to his client and friend there is no salvation for him as he signs away his friendship.
All three men are excellent portraits played to the enth degree by a consummate actor. This is a play that is buoyed up by its player for there are weaknesses in the script, things that are not made clear to the main character who might suffer less for the knowledge denied him. We want to enjoy the man as much as we have enjoyed the music he brought and left behind him to enthrall us. We are given the bitterness at the cost of the joy for even these moments of glory that we are allowed to witness in Teachout's script are moments only and not sustainable as written.
Lee Savage's concept of a star dressing room at one New York City's most momentous hotels is a delight: large, spacious with enough mirrors and lights to prepare an entire company of players. Ilona Somogyi's costumes somehow work for all three men as dressed by a single actor. Matthew Adelson has done some brilliant work with lights bringing about the character transitions in different ways yet ways that are always crystal clear. John Gromada's sound tracks range from the up-front and present variety to the soft, half-heard memory pieces that broaden the resonance of thoughts.
This is a performance that may shock you with its graphic language and sexual innuendo (film rated R, this play) and may sadden you just a bit as a great star is reduced to a little man in the hands of a very tall actor. It may also enthrall you as the language becomes something you no longer hear as graphic and hostile having heard it so much, so soon and so often. Teachout's out-there script is perfectly realistic for people in this end of the music industry and the portrayals would never seem right in a quasi-Noel Coward lingo anyway.
For Satchmo there is a need for revelation in language, history and humanity. For the audience there is the same need in finding the man. There is nothing wrong here that an altered mind-set on the part of the audience wouldn't cure. It's the afterglow, when the costumes have been changed and the music packed away for the night, when the wife awaits in a suite above and the man remembers that, for him, love may be all there is, that this play takes leave of the stage and the stage holds its image for a long, long while. We may finally know the reason for that dark passage of music in the song "It's a Wonderful World."
Satchmo at the Waldorf plays through September 16 at the Tina Packer Playhouse at Shakespeare and Company at 70 Kembla Street in Lennox, Massachusetts. For information and tickets call the box office at 413-637-3353 or visit their website at www.shakespeare.org.

The highly-respected Institute for Policy Research & Development has looked at where we get our energy and power from.
It has concludes "that the road to a sustainable future" lies in moving away from fossil fuels, and towards renewable wind and solar energy sources.
The changeover would take 20-30 years and would use an extra amount of energy about the same as we already use in 12-18 months. So that is achievable. (It would also, of course, grow the economy, create new jobs, etc, etc.)
It can be achieved with the technologies we already have. No new technologies are needed.
And in fact these are conservative estimates — "the true … potential that is available to our society may be even more optimistic than we show."
The primary obstacles to making this transition are non-technical: lack of political will and economic prioritisation. But "making this transition in the time scale of a few decades is imperative for global climate security."
Hopefully someone somewhere will start to get the message soon. Help to make it happen here.
