text: Planetary Herbals Stone Free 820 mg. 90 TabletsPlanetary Herbals Stone Free is a unique combination designed to support the kidneys, liver and gallbladder. Planetary Herbals Stone Free's comprehensive formula is twofold - it aids normal fluid elimination and bile production and assists with the body's natural cleansing processes. Primarily detoxifying botanicals, the herbs in Planetary Herbals Stone Free act to flush, cleanse and detoxify, ridding the body of mineral and other waste and fat-soluble toxins.In dealing with the elimination of waste and toxic substances from the body, the kidneys, liver and gallbladder can, over time, become overburdened. Planetary Herbals offers you Stone Free, a unique blend of turmeric root, gravel root, dandelion root extract, ginger root, lemon balm leaf, marshmallow root, parsley root, dandelion root, and licorice root. These herbs have been used historically to support the kidneys, liver and gallbladder and promote healthy organ function. Dandelion root and turmeric root are bitter substances that can support the body's normal bile flow. Parsley root and marshmallow root have been used historically for supporting normal fluid elimination. Created for Planetary Herbals by licensed acupuncturist and clinical herbalist Michael Tierra. A clinician since 1972, Michael is an authority on the world's herbal traditions, and has authored several respected herb books. Purifying Support for the KidneysHealthy kidney function involves the filtration of waste products (including various minerals) from the blood, and the excretion of liquid waste through the urine. Primary kidney supporting herbs - such as gravel root, parsley root, and marshmallow root - have traditionally been used to aid normal fluid elimination and general genitourinary health, thereby helping to ensure the smooth passage of urinary waste through the urinary tract. Gravel root's flushing and cleansing action helps to rid the body of mineral waste. Classified as a tonic, parsley root stimulates and improves the eliminative function of the kidneys and assists in the balance of fluids in the body. Marshmallow root, in particular, is rich in mucilage; its coating action is known to soothe, moisten, and protect the genitourinary tract.Bitter Substances and the Normal Flow of BileOne of the liver's main methods of detoxification is in the manufacture and secretion of bile - a carrying agent for the elimination of toxic substances from the body. Stored in the gallbladder and then released into the small intestine, bile also serves in the digestion of fatty acids and absorption of fat-soluble nutrients; it emulsifies fats, and therefore is essential in the proper health of the gallbladder. However, if bile is not properly metabolized, it can mix with excess minerals, affecting its normal excretion functions. Herbs that support liver and gallbladder health have been used for centuries in traditional herbology. Known as cholagogues, they stimulate the production of bile, or promote the discharge of bile into the duodenum, and also flush and detoxify the gallbladder; this in turn helps to emulsify fat deposit build-up common with high fat, low fiber diets. Dandelion root and turmeric, two such cholagogues, are bitter substances that support digestion and help facilitate the body's normal flow of bile. In addition, turmeric's cleansing action helps to detoxify the liver. Licorice root, another cholagogue, is a soothing lubricant that assists the body's natural cleansing processes and the excretion of toxins and waste. Ginger root and lemon balm leaf further aid in digestion and elimination.Lifestyle RecommendationsTo support liver and gallbladder health avoids the excessive consumption of saturated fats and supplement with Planetary Herbals Digestive Grape Bitters. For additional kidney support, drink plenty of pure water and avoid excess consumption of foods high in oxalates or oxalic acid, such as coffee, chocolate, cocoa, tea, rhubarb, spinach, and other plant foods.Combining Tradition and Modern ScienceStone Free™ is a unique combination developed exclusively for Planetary Herbals by world-renowned herbalist Michael Tierra, L.Ac., O.M.D. Like the rest of the Planetary Herbals product line, Stone Free™ exemplifies Planetary Herbals' commitment to herbalism at its best-combining the wisdom of traditional herbalism with the advances of modern science.

6. Pro & Cons
The convenience of using sample libraries heavily outweighs the hassle and expense of using real instruments, and can give you a multitude of different sounds at your fingertips - if you produce orchestral music, the cost of simply hiring a studio large enough to record a full orchestra can run into thousands of pounds before youve even considered paying the musicians. Using sample libraries to put down drum tracks is quicker and more convenient than miking up and recording a kit - particularly handy when inspiration strikes, and they can always be replaced later.
Samples can sometimes make productions sound clinical and over- sequenced, especially when programmed poorly - some musicians complain about the lack of inspiration they experience when using too many samples in their compositions, making songwriting more restrictive and less creative. Realistic dynamics can be difficult to recreate when using samples alone, which can lead to tracks sounding dull and lifeless. If you have time for really detailed programming of all the nuances, then great results can be achieved but on the other hand, a good player with a real instrument might get you the result in one take!

In 1987, "Street Fighter" debuted in arcades and quickly became a cultural phenomenon with its vivid characters and unique fighting technique abilities. The videogame has since spawned sequels, spin-offs and two films based on the game – one in 1994 that starred Jean-Claude Van Damme and now 20th Century Fox's Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, which is rather different from the previous movie.
The story centers on Chun-Li (Kristen Kreuk), who gives up her privileged life to become a street fighter, helping those who can't help themselves. Her main focus is to stop Bangkok's most feared crime boss Bison (Neal McDonough), who has not only harmed her family, but has created a wave of unstoppable violence in the slums of the Thai capital. Throughout the course of her mission, Chun-Li meets Charlie Nash (Chris Klein), an Interpol cop who has chased Bison all over the world. The two combine forces to bring down one of the most wanted and ruthless criminals of his time.
ComingSoon.net chatted with both Kristen Kreuk and Chris Klein as well as the producers, Ashok Amritraj and Patrick Aiello:
Q: Are any of you gamesters?
Chris Klein: I've been known to play some videogames. I started my "Street Fighter 2" on Super Nintendo. That was the first "Street Fighter" that I played outside of the arcade. I wasn't good at it, not nearly as good as my peers, but I liked it. I remember it being the first one-on-one action fighting game that I really liked.
Kristin Kreuk: I've never been a gamer but I've seen a lot of "Street Fighter" and it was really popular when I was in late elementary school into high school so I'm very familiar with it. I've seen a lot of people play it.
Q: How did you approach the tone of the movie? How seriously did you take it?
Ashok Amritraj: When you have a franchise like "Street Fighter" which is kind of iconic and it's the 20th anniversary, the game company's very protective of the characters, so when we were developing the screenplay, Justin Marks was writing the screenplay, we chose the Chun-Li character to start what will hopefully be a movie franchise of its own. We had to be very careful and go back and forth with Capcom quite a bit to make sure that we were separating the game from the movie, and wanted to make sure the movie was really grounded, the characters, like Bison was from Bangkok originally, the legend and history of the game was kept intact.
Q: For the actors, how seriously earnest were you with your characters?
Kreuk: I think it's really important, at least in this story, to be earnest with the characters because you want people to relate to them while they go through the movie. I think it's really important that the fighting is really good. You want to be able to root for the individual and that means the character has got to be relatable in some way. If they're really over the top, it's harder to relate to them in this style of a movie. If it was something else, I think it would be different.
Q: Kristin, your character embarks on quite an emotional journey. Can you talk about that aspect of her?
Kreuk: Of course. She starts off in the movie very young and she loses both of her parents. I don't know how old she is when she starts as an adult. She's like 20, so she loses her mom around 20 years old and becomes very angry and wants to go and get revenge on the guy who took her father when she was just a young girl and then ends up on this spiritual path where she seeks out a master and she learns to let go of her attachments so she can see a greater good because her attachments are blinding her sight. That way she can go out and actually fight for something and understand what it is she's fighting for.
Q: Talk about your weapons training for this movie?
Klein: I guess the only way to ever know that is to actually participate in some form of the military which I never did. The only training that I had up until rehearsals for this picture was making "We Were Soldiers" a couple of years ago where I played 2nd Lt. Jack Geoghegan, but this was totally different. Charlie Nash is a run and gun guy, and I have very limited experience with handguns. I don't own a handgun and it's not a hobby of mine personally, so upon arriving in Thailand, I started training with some Thai and some Australian special forces that the guys brought in to teach me the appropriate way to use a handgun. We went from Glocks and Walther 9mms all the way through the arsenal to grenade launchers and stuff so we had a real ball doing that. For any dude to do something like that is pretty darn fun.
Q: When you have a franchise like this that has so many supporting characters, how do you decide which ones will be in the cut for the movie?
Amritraj: That was a decision we made that this is the direction we wanted to go in. We of course then talked to Capcom about it and they went along with the decision, and then as we came up with the outline and started flushing it out, they were involved with us at every step of the way. Luckily, we also had a writer who's a total "Street Fighter" aficionado. He was terrific and so he knew the background of every character. The Capcom guys were fabulous. They went along with a lot of the stuff we wanted to do.
Q: You didn't have Ryu and I know that's mentioned at the end. Was that ever a problem with Capcom?
Amritraj: No, we specifically decided on this character and it being her journey and so Ken and Ryu who were the other two characters were sort of left for another day.
Patrick Aiello: And this is an origin story so we wanted to start off with a group of people that we could manage, and we begin with Bison's story as we do with Chung-Li's as well, and we'll grow from there. Now we are into the world of Bison and we'll see what comes of it from that point.
Q: How did the movie rights go from Universal in 1994 to ultimately with Fox now?
Amritraj: Universal did not own any movie rights. Capcom owns all of the underlying rights to the game, the movie, the characters. Universal distributed that single picture. We, along with Capcom, in a joint venture made this film and we have a deal with 20th Century Fox. Under our deal with Fox, the movie gets distributed.
Q: Was there thought about how much time had passed since the last incarnation of "Street Fighter" and that it was time to make a new one?
Amritraj: I think there has been enough time [since the last "Street Fighter"], and that was such a different movie. Jean-Claude Van Damme played Guile, and Raul Julia was a slightly different kind of Bison, and it had all of these different characters that was very close to the pop feel that the game has. This one is quite a lot different–the look, the feel, the visuals–all of it is very different. The cast was so wonderful all through the shoot, and I think they underplay sometimes all the things they went through. Kristin and the training she did, [being] strung up on wires and thrown through doors and windows, and Chris with the guns, and Neil McDonough, Moon, everybody, it was just a phenomenal cast and they went along with what was a very tight shoot and working 90 days in a 45-day period. They were terrific.
Q: Were there any injuries during the gun training or on set?
Kreuk: Nothing serious I don't think. I got punched and thrown into a couple of things but nothing that was lasting or permanent that I know of. (laughs)
Aiello: No, we had very strict set safety because we had so much going on.
Q: Kristin, I imagine your work on "Smallville" helped you. What additional martial arts skills did you learn on this because you've done wirework before?
Kreuk: Yeah, but only minor and I only got seven hours to really practice that stuff on "Smallville" which is nothing and five weeks even feels like nothing for what we did. Doing wires well isn't easy and I think all the hand to hand stuff is challenging as well but the wirework, to make it look good and natural, it's a whole different way of figuring out how to make your body move. I learned so much more on this than on "Smallville" where I only got bits and pieces of it. Normally with "Smallville" I get the choreography and they're like, "Okay, action!" So there's no time. It's like, "Here we go!" It was somewhat different on this. (laughs)
Q: For the producers, what did you seen in Kristin and Chris and why were they chosen for the roles?
Amritraj: We saw Kristin on "Smallville," and then we met, but I think the main thing about this character was that there's a strength and also a vulnerability, and I think that's exactly what Kristin brings to the character and the Asian background as well, all of those things. It was just a perfect match. And with Chris, all you have to do is look at him and you can see why. It was love at first sight.
Aiello: Chris is a strong leading man and could handle the character well and really stick out in the group.
Q: How difficult was it to shoot on the crowded streets of Hong Kong?
Aiello: The location was chosen by Ashok on purpose. There's a lot of activity there and that really adds to the production value of a picture. You really absorb all the grit and grime of that city into the picture and it shows.
Klein: What's great about it is we had the opportunity to shoot in the actual place that our story is set, and you know how rare an opportunity that is. So you take that and run with it, because it is absolutely the ultimate practice in environmental theater, and you're right there with the grit, with the grim, with the people of Bangkok, with the food of Bangkok, and it becomes a character in and of itself in our movie. And that is such a special opportunity that so few movies have and it definitely makes it work in this movie.
Q: Kristin and Chris, what about Bangkok was what you thought it would be and what was the big surprise?
Kreuk: I knew Bangkok would be busy. That's all I knew coming into the city. What was a surprise to me–this seems strange to say–were the size of the malls. Bangkok's malls are so big and elaborate and there are movie theaters I went to where I was like, "Whoa! This place is crazy!"
Q: We don't see any of that in the movie?
Kreuk: No, because we stick to the more poor side of things. But the malls there are insane. The food is amazing. I expected the food to be amazing and I thought it was really good.
Klein: I had never been to Southeast Asia before so I was very, very excited to go to Bangkok and to have the opportunity to spend that much time in such an exotic location is a gift for anybody that appreciates traveling so I did my best not to go in with any preconceived notions of what Bangkok was going to be simply so that I could take it in and keep as open a mind as possible. And I definitely have to agree with the food. The food there is absolutely outstanding.
Q: Kristin, what kind of films have you been looking at and was action something you wanted to get into?
Kreuk: It's funny, it probably is not the genre that I was going "That's what I want to do," but it made a lot of sense for me where I'm at in my career, and coming out of "Smallville," it was a really good move to move into a character who was very proactive and that's something I wanted to do. I want to help empower young women and I thought this was a really great role to do that.
Q: Chris, your character has been tracking Bison for some time and it seems personal now. Why is it so important to your character to capture this guy?
Klein: The first thing that I ever learned about Charlie Nash, that Justin Marks, our screenwriter, showed me, was that Charlie Nash, his likes, he's got two, justice and scotch, and his dislikes, he's got one, injustice. So that's where we started with this character and anybody that knows the world of "Street Fighter" knows Charlie Nash's back story and knows why he's there, and I love that we pick it up with the energy of Charlie arriving in Bangkok and then explaining to Cantana what he's doing there, chasing Bison all over the world trying to find him, and at this point it is personal because justice needs to be served, and Charlie Nash is just the guy to do it.
Q: Charlie Nash reminded me of a lot of past action actors. Are there any past roles that inspired you or that you channeled for this?
Klein: As far as other actors? That's a gift that I don't have. Channeling another actor's performance, I don't even know where I'd start doing that. A lot of the people that I grew up idolizing are in action movies and the men that I grew up idolizing on screen, of course, loving the movies ever since I can remember and this being one of my favorite genres, there's absolutely no question about it. We can just run down the list of my favorite movies. There are three action movies in that list, one might not necessarily be an action movie, but the first one is "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark," you know, Harrison Ford. How can you not be a kid growing up and idolize him? "Braveheart," Mel Gibson, along with any of the "Lethal Weapon" franchise, he's fantastic. And "Romancing the Stone," Michael Douglas, bringing a perfect combination of action hero and comedian. I think that performance is brilliant so those are three good examples.
Amritraj: Pretty good examples. I'd throw in a little Clint Eastwood.
Q: With all the fun, over-the-top action sequences you guys had to do, was there a particular one that was the most fun to do?
Kreuk: For me, I think the alley fight sequence was really fun as well as there's a crane fight in the whole thing that was really scary and fun at the same time for me as well. Those two are my favorites.
Klein: I think my favorite action sequence is when the Port Authority office blows up and all hell breaks lose on the top of the harbor pier. That was incredible. There was so much noise and so much going on. It comes off really good on screen, it was absolute mayhem. I remember right before we did the jump stunt, I looked at Patrick and said, "It all starts right now. This is going to be three nights of mayhem." And he goes, "Don't get hurt." (laughs) I'm blasted out of that building.
Amritraj: He was right in the middle of it.
Klein: You see my face and everything. I'm blasted out.
Aiello: We actually blew it up, but we did it in two steps. We blew him out the door with the smoke and debris and then we did an additional explosion with fire.
Q: Besides possibly more "Street Fighter" movies, what other productions do you have coming up?
Amritraj: We have a movie called "Dead of Night" which starts shooting in April with Brandon Routh. Kevin Munroe, who did "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," is directing it. That shoots in New Orleans. And then we have a festival movie called "Leoni" which Emily Mortimer is doing for us. We haven't announced it yet.
Q: What is "Dead of Night" about?
Aiello: "Dead of Night" is about Brandon's character from Chinatown who's a detective and private investigator for the underworld in the sense that he is investigating werewolves, zombies and vampires in the spirit of "Lost Boys."
Amritraj: It's a best-selling comic book from Italy called "Dylan Dog" that's very popular. Platinum Comics are our partners on it.
Q: How close visually are you going to the comic book and do you have any other cast that you can announce?
Amritraj: Not yet. We're just casting. We're going to be pretty close. I mean, it's going to have that look to it.
Q: The famous outfit?
Amritraj: Yes. And the car.
Q: What's next for each of the actors?
Kreuk: I'm building a company for teen girls called Girls By Design which is an online social network and content creation site so that's been my focus. I've got a weekend retreat coming up in March here in L.A. so I've been prepping for that as well. We're in the process of building beta right now, so what we have out there isn't what the site will be, but it's project oriented and it encourages them to go out in the world and create and then come back together and share those experiences.
Klein: For me, right now, it's all about getting this (film) out on Friday. I had so much fun on this movie and that's what I want to talk about. I love "Street Fighter."
Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li opens in theaters on Friday, February 27th.

In 2005, when Robert Burley learned of Eastman Kodak's decision to close its Canadian branch in response to the diminishing demand for celluloid film, he heard the dying breaths not only of a brand, but also of an industry and a medium. His immediate impulse was to document the manufacturing facilities of Kodak and other companies before they were sold or reduced to rubble. He photographed locations personally meaningful to him, as an artist who knew little about the actual dark industry—dark both literally, in its production of light-sensitive materials, and figuratively, as a once-profitable industry built on closely guarded patents and secrecy. The project stretched over six years and turned into an international tour, with stops at Eastman Kodak in Rochester, New York; the Ilford Company, the black-and-white film manufacturer based in Britain; Chalon-sur-Saône, France, the birthplace of photography; Polaroid's Massachusetts factory; and Dwayne's Photo in Parsons, Kansas, the last lab to develop a roll of Kodachrome.
The Disappearance of Darkness: Photography at the End of the Analog Era (Princeton Architectural Press; $50) is a selection of Burley's photographs, accompanied by his textual commentary and introductory essays written by three curators based in some of the locations Burley visited. Though he writes that his project may be part eulogy, Disappearance is more autopsy than obituary. The photographs are cold and industrial in their subject matter and aesthetic. Grays, blacks, whites and greens dominate the record of factory exteriors. The starkness of cement and metal is emphasized by the space between the photographer and his recurring subject, the distances filled by dull gray parking lots, cracked and vacant. A few shots show former Kodak employees and bystanders at building demolitions, taking pictures themselves (Burley is quick to point out that his was one of the few cameras loaded with film). The truly mournful photographs, more moving than the empty offices, abandoned warehouses, or chemicals and wires in disarray, are those that emphasize the apparitional absence of workers: the employee identification board of a Polaroid plant in the Netherlands; a lone sweater by the empty cubicles at Kodak Canada in Toronto.
Disappearance is an impressionistic investigation of the film industry—the local economies it once sustained, the many thousands of people it employed (including generations of family members), the process by which its increasingly scarce products are manufactured. Yet some of the contributors to Disappearance remain sanguine about the technological changes that are making celluloid film a rarity. In an accompanying essay, Andrea Kunard, curator at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, explains that the introduction of the handheld camera in the late nineteenth century disrupted what had been a relatively stable photography industry based around the commercial studio. The new technology democratized the form, drawing new lines between amateur and professional, art and commerce. Plus ça change…
The cultural transition from analog to digital—from the material world to a virtual one—echoes what Kunard calls the "duality of presence and absence that informs much of photography." In this sense, digital photography is an intensification of the paradox that has marked photography all along. But the transition to comprehending an image as intangible information is not the only effect of photography's departure from the material world.

14625 • The Physically Active Academic Classroom-Cullowhee
How many of us have endured the drudgery of the "sit 'n' git" workshop and sworn silently that we would never inflict the same fate on our students? This promise represents not only good humor, but also good pedagogy. A wealth of research supports the hypothesis that physical activity can boost comprehension, retention, and self-regulation in students of all achievement levels. Teachers who build movement into their lesson designs will have students who are less disruptive and more engaged. Teachers will learn a variety of strategies for integrating instruction with physical activity, but not at the expense of intellectual rigor. Armed with a collection of techniques you can use immediately, design and create your own physically and mentally active lessons. All teachers from pre-K through 12th-grade are encouraged to attend.

Gender and Cultural Relativity
Current Human Rights Fact:
On International Women's Day, I published a post questioning, "What is Gender." Not surprisingly, it had amongst the most hits of any post, yet it also had the fewest comments. Actually, only one comment was left, and again it was an observation made by Kate Meakin who is researching Fair Trade in India. When I first read her commentary, I was inclined to post a comment of my own in response. However, I decided to sit this one out and see what becomes of it; to see if there are any others who have something to add in relation to the post itself or to address her comment.
No one said anything. At first this bothered me a bit, but it reflects the depth of questioning I was bringing to the surface by asking readers to examine their own perceptions and even challenge what has seldom been confronted: Our own social constructs surrounding gender that we hold so dear as to never question them.
Kate wrote: "Hi, another interesting post.
From my stay in Kerala I have had mixed feelings about the role of women in the Kerala society. Despite it being a very educated and forward thinking place, the family set up is still very traditional and this means the wife is there to serve the family (family meaning her husband's parents, along with her husband and children and possibly other family members too).
I've stayed with a few families where this was the set up and the first thing to say is they were very happy families. I guess it's the divide between Western thinking which values personal freedom above all else, to 'Eastern' thinking which has a more collective outlook. In this way if you look at it from the point of view of the family then one family member being there to serve the rest makes sense. Whereas if you look at from the point of view of the value of the woman and her personal freedom then it isn't acceptable.
When you dip into another culture it absolutely makes you realise how cultural gender roles are".
As a researcher, I appreciated the directness and honesty of her observation followed by a reflection on culture. Again, this is where some believe the conversation ends – it is a cultural issue and there it belongs. End of inquiry, move on.
The relevance of culture is often used as a justification to support the status quo. However, is it right? What happens in the case when this justification becomes a barrier in the life of women in society, or worse, evolves into the deliberate killing of an unborn child simply because of a social construct?
In the case Kate brings up, you can readily site another statistic related to gender. Gendercide.org offers a definition that needs to be taken into account: "Female infanticide is the intentional killing of baby girls due to the preference for male babies and from the low value associated with the birth of females." As the website name implies, the link presents case studies of gendercide in India and China.
In the case of India, Gendercide.org reports, "According to census statistics, 'From 972 females for every 1,000 males in 1901 ... the gender imbalance has tilted to 929 females per 1,000 males. ... In the nearly 300 poor hamlets of the Usilampatti area of Tamil Nadu [state], as many as 196 girls died under suspicious circumstances [in 1993] ... Some were fed dry, unhulled rice that punctured their windpipes, or were made to swallow poisonous powdered fertilizer. Others were smothered with a wet towel, strangled or allowed to starve to death.'"
Current Human Rights Fact:
Approximately 6.2% of potential female births are aborted in India because ultrasound reveals the sex. That's 480,000 per year (read the source for yourself). Does this sound like a happy family environment Kate describes? A family which would equally welcome baby girls and baby boys into the world? If a girl were born it would seem a time for celebration in India, after all, doesn't a family need another indentured servant to make their home a happy one? The study seems to suggest otherwise.
Now let's ask that pertinent question: "Why?"
Indian culture has constructed a worldview in which women in society belonging in the household, not because they are biologically predisposed to care-taking and housework, but because of the gender role girls are expected to fill when they become women. From the day of birth this predestined role is repeatedly pounded into their minds as an unshakeable destiny; it is their fate and as such it is not to be questioned. To question your destiny is akin to questioning the religious belief systems of your ancestors, your family, your community and society as you know it. "Accept your fate, woman, this is a man's world" continues to be a phrase women have heard the world over, not just in India.
Another factor for this repeated theme in India is the dowry system embraced by Indian culture. What is a dowry? Gendercide.org identifies this as a core issue and contributing factor to the female infanticide occurring in India.
Dowry is described as an institution "in which the family of a prospective bride must pay enormous sums of money to the family in which the woman will live after marriage. Though formally outlawed, the institution is still pervasive." Gendercide.org also sites a prominent researcher in the field, "Bias against females in India is related to the fact that 'Sons are called upon to provide the income; they are the ones who do most of the work in the fields. In this way sons are looked to as a type of insurance. With this perspective, it becomes clearer that the high value given to males decreases the value given to females. The combination of dowry and wedding expenses usually add up to more than a million rupees ([US] $35,000). In India the average civil servant earns about 100,000 rupees ($3,500) a year. Given these figures combined with the low status of women, it seems not so illogical that the poorer Indian families would want only male children." (Porras, "Female Infanticide and Foeticide".)

In a March 4, 2010, edition of The Economist, there is an article titled, The Worldwide War on Baby Girls: Technology, declining fertility and ancient prejudice are combining to unbalance societies. The article describes ads by Indian medical practitioners, "Doctors in India started advertising ultrasound scans with the slogan "Pay 5,000 rupees ($110) today and save 50,000 rupees tomorrow" (the saving was on the cost of a daughter's dowry). Parents who wanted a son, but balked at killing baby daughters, chose abortion in their millions." The Economist even cites a common Hindu saying used to justify the selective abortion of a female fetus, "Raising a daughter is like watering your neighbours' garden."
Here is another comprehensive report on the abortion of female fetuses aired on 14 April, 2011 on National Public Radio!
Within the Indian social construct, it would seem that culture is an unchangeable force that has remained the same for millenniums and is not subject to change anytime soon, as many defenders of the status quo would have you believe. However, I can prove to you that culture can change, and it can change rapidly at that!

Reach into your pocket, your purse, or your handbag and there is probably a cellular phone. This handy little invention has changed the culture of communication! Within a span of just a few years it seems as though everyone owns this handheld marvel, and with this instant communication has come a change in social courtesies on how we contact people and address each other; it has redefined politeness in public places; and in some cases, has made rude behaviors acceptable, or in other cases, society has legislated when and where people are forbidden to communicate with this device (i.e. driving and texting). It has even redefined our language in its written form, to include sentence structures.
Culture is not an unchangeable force; it is not a solid that has remained the same for generations. Culture does change; it is like a fluid or a gel that can adapt to changes in its form without losing its consistency. Culture is much more flexible than those who cling to Cultural Relativity would have you believe. If things were as they say, women would not have the right to vote and enslaved black men, would still be considered 3/5 of a human being as declared in the U.S. Constitution (Article 1, Section 2, Paragraph 3). This alone indisputably proves that culture can change, and that men and women can be recognized for their humanity.
Some readers may feel that my blog post is focusing on India too much. Ok, we can look elsewhere in current events; real current as a matter of fact.
Have you ever thought to inquire
about news reports, and what happens
following a reported event?
On International Women's Day, the same day I posted the article asking What is Gender?, there was a protest in Egypt. On March 9th, the CS Monitor published an article titled, In Egypt's Tahrir Square, Women Attacked at Rally on International Women's Day. I encourage you to read the article for yourself. The women were protesting because despite the fact the women consist of half of the Egyptian population, "The military council ruling the country until new elections are held failed to appoint a single woman to the committee tasked with drafting constitutional amendments." As they raised their voices to address this deliberate effort to exclude women from a democratic process, the women were violently attacked by adherents of Cultural Relativity.
The CS Monitor reporter quotes one protester, "'We fought side by side with men during the revolution, and now we're not represented,' said Passat Rabie, a young woman who came with friends, after men aggressively dispersed the protest. 'I thought Egypt was improving, that it was becoming a better country. If it's changing in a way that's going to exclude women, then what's the point? Where's the democracy?'"

The reporter added, "But almost immediately, they were outnumbered and beset upon by men who gathered. Some of the men were from the protesters' encampment in the middle of the square.
Dozens of women engaged in arguments with the men, who said that women had enough rights already; ...Some of the men were polite; many were aggressive. Soon, a large group gathered in front of the protest, shouting it down with insults. A sheikh from Al Azhar was hoisted on mens' shoulders, chanting against the women.
"Go home, go wash clothes," yelled some of the men. "You are not married; go find a husband." Others said, "This is against Islam." To the men demonstrating with the women, they yelled "Shame on you!"
Suddenly, the men decided the women had been there long enough. Yelling, they rushed aggressively upon the protest, pushing violently through the rows of women. The women scattered."
This report is another shameful example of cultural relativity. Unfortunately it got worse and this is why I decided to make this post on Gender and Cultural Relativity:
Today I receive an email from Amnesty International:
Tortured. Humiliated. Forced to take so-called 'virginity tests' by the Egyptian military.
Investigate forced 'virginity testing' of Egyptian women protesters.
Investigate forced 'virginity testing' of Egyptian women protesters.
Dear Mitch,
The Egyptian military may have just hit a disturbing, new low: at least 18 women who were arrested during a peaceful protest in Tahrir Square on March 9 said they were forced to take "virginity tests".
Those women were threatened with charges of prostitution if they "failed" the tests. One woman, who said she was a virgin but whose test supposedly proved otherwise, was beaten and given electric shocks.
Make no doubt about it, this constitutes torture. The purpose of this test is to degrade women because they are women. This treatment is unacceptable.
Demand that Egyptian officials investigate the allegations and stop this shocking and degrading treatment of women protesters. Call on Secretary Clinton to use her influence to demand immediate action.
Twenty-year-old Salwa Hosseini told Amnesty interviewers that she was subjected to strip searches while male soldiers watched and took pictures.

These allegations fuel rising concerns that women, who were at the forefront of the protests that led to President Mubarak's resignation, are being forced into the background in the development of a new Egypt.
The protests that began on January 25th did not occur so that Egypt could replace the shocking and degrading behavior by one regime with that of another.
Call for an immediate investigation into the forced 'virginity testing' and other acts of torture and ill-treatment committed against women in Egypt.
Egyptian women will not be left behind. They stood up then to demand an end to the repression. We stand with them now to demand justice.

If you are reading this blog,
I invite you to join me in taking action!
Fair Trade is more than a business model, more than an ethical approach to providing opportunity to disadvantaged communities, and more than a movement committed to trade justice. Fair Trade is a movement committed to Social Justice and Social Change! As Fair Trade supporters we need to understand not only what the principle of Gender Equity represents, but what it stands against.

I love a beautiful sunrise. Are there many things more peaceful than the silence of the sun rising into the morning sky? I don't think so, however, I'm not a morning person. For the first couple hours after I awaken, silence is golden. Thank goodness my daughter feels the same way!
Another thing that Alyssa and I agree on is that we both like a delicious breakfast before we leave for the day. My Smiling Sunshine Carrot Muffins are delicious with a couple scrambled eggs or a bowl of fresh fruit. They are even delicious as a side with my other favorite breakfast meal.
Smiling Sunshine Carrot Muffins
If you have a hard time smiling before breakfast, it will be easy after you have a couple of these delectable muffins. So shall we begin?
In one bowl, combine the All Purpose flour, oats, flax seed, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, allspice and nutmeg.
In another bowl combine the eggs, vanilla, bananas, brown sugar, granulated sugar, milk and vegetable oil.
Make a well in the dry ingredients. That simply means to push all the dry ingredients around the bowl so that there is an empty spot in the middle.
Pour the wet ingredients into the well and mix just until all ingredients are combined.
Yummy batter! No, I did not lick any of the batter this time! Aren't you surprised or are you proud of me? 😉
In another bowl combine carrots, raisins, pecans and coconut. Then add them to the batter.
I like leaving the pecans about the same size as the raisins. I'm rather partial to a good texture.
Carrots. Lovely, sweet , nutritious carrots.
Fill the muffin cups 3/4 full with batter.
If you want to entice someone to eat the "healthy" muffin, a good way to get them to try it is with a few chocolate chips.
After all the muffin cups are filled, place the pans in the oven and…
and wait
and wait!
The more you want to eat a muffin, the longer the wait will seem.
First out are the beautiful chocolate chip topped muffins.
On some of the muffins, I put Pineapple Cream Cheese Frosting, but I kept some muffins topless. 😉 Anybody like topless? No, don't answer!!
My favorites are the ones slathered with frosting.
Each bite is packed with flavor and different textures.
Of course, you know they are super moist and every bite melts in your mouth.
It's nice that the carrots and all the fruits are big enough to taste distinctively.
Seriously, these muffins can be even more healthy if you use wheat flower and forgo the frosting…
But as you can tell, I didn't forgo the smooth and creamy frosting. The dripping gooey confection is too hard to resist.
I am still amazed at exactly how frosting melts all over the hot muffins. It is so artistic, sensual, erotic and enticing! Maybe it only seems that way to me and you have absolutely no idea WHAT I'm talking about.
Obviously, I really enjoy the Smiling Sunshine Carrot Muffins.
Seriously, could they be any easier to bake? I don't think so!
Go ahead and bake them. Then tell me how many times you reached for "just one more."
Smiling Sunshine Carrot Muffins
1-1/2 cups All Purpose flour
1/2 cup quick or old fashioned oats
1/4 cup flax seed
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/16 teaspoon ground ginger
1/16 teaspoon allspice
1/16 teaspoon nutmeg
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 medium to large brown spotted bananas, mashed
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup yogurt, milk, buttermilk, or sour cream
1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
overflowing 1/2 cup peeled and shredded carrots
overflowing 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut
overflowing 1/2 cup golden raisins
overflowing 1/2 cup slightly chopped pecans
In one bowl, combine the All Purpose flour, oats, flax seed, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, allspice and nutmeg.
In another bowl combine the eggs, vanilla, bananas, brown sugar, granulated sugar, milk and vegetable oil.
Make a well in the dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the well and mix just until all are combined.
In another bowl combine carrots, raisins, pecans and coconut. Then add them to the batter. Combine – don't beat. Fill the muffin cups 3/4 full with batter. Place in a 350F degree oven for 20 minutes or until lightly brown on the outside and the toothpick test comes out clean.
Serve with or without frosting/icing. Makes 18-24 depending on size of muffin cup.

The Transporter
Former Special Forces officer Frank Martin will deliver anything to anyone for the right price, and his no-questions-asked policy puts him in high demand. But when he realizes his latest cargo is alive, it sets in motion a dangerous chain of events. The bound and gagged Lai is being smuggled to France by a shady American businessman, and Frank works to save her as his own illegal activities are uncovered by a French detective.
Infohash : 720EC186C41AF9A41C30AC41EE1E6318195CE980
Ex-Special Forces operator Frank Martin lives what seems to be a quiet life along the French Mediterranean,
hiring himself out as a mercenary "transporter" who moves goods - human or otherwise - from one place
to another. No questions asked. Frank's newest transport seems no different from the countless ones
he's done in the past. He has been hired by an American known only as "Wall Street" (see Rule Two)
to make a delivery, but when Frank stops along route, he notices his "package" is moving.
Violating his own personal rules, Frank looks inside the bag, finding its contents to be a beautiful,
gagged woman.

Mobile 2 Go Blog: The Day I Fell in Love With Big Data
Using information to romance the consumer, while not "being creepy"
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- I never thought "Big Data" was like falling in love. I always felt suspicious about it, finding it invasive of my personal space. But like love, apparently, there's a right and a wrong way to go about it.
Drawing similarities between big data and speed dating, a marketing executive from Alon Brands explained to retailers attending CSP's recent Convenience Retailing University conference last month that data can be an important tool to connect with consumers, but it's also a double-edged sword.
Citing instances where retailers have used data in ways to incite negative reactions, Scott Shakespeare, branding, promotions and advertising manager for the Dallas-based 7-Eleven licensee, said it's important to "aim before you shoot."
And like the missteps that can occur in any romance, mistakes have consequences.
Careless, or insincere uses of data can often catch consumers off guard, making them feel spied on and uncomfortable. What came to mind for me was the freak-out I had when Facebook started recognizing my friends and asking me if I wanted to tag them, naming each of them without a single error.
Shakespeare himself cited a well-publicized incident with a department store where a young girl's father got angry when he found out that chain sent the girl ads targeting pregnant women—when he did not know his teenage daughter was actually pregnant.
On the other hand, Shakespeare told the session of about 50 attendees that using data correctly can lead to greater intimacy with the consumer. I drew a connection to the mobile consumer because what's more intimate that receiving a note on your phone, something that's probably in your pocket, briefcase or purse? "The consumer gives you her trust if you're worthy," Shakespeare said. "But she has the power."
He said finding relevant offers customized to the consumers' needs is the best strategy to assume. And retailers already have many tools at their disposal. They have access to information from their own registers, accounting ledgers and loyalty programs. When cross referenced, "big data" from such sources can begin to answer important questions about what to put on the shelf, at what price point and when.
He noted key "toolboxes" where data falls into categories, such as societal, industry, company, loyalty, social media and interactive or personal data. Something as accessible as established social-media sites like Facebook or Twitter can be important data pools to spend time on, interact with consumers and get real-time reactions to promotional efforts.
Within those data pools, there's information about events, movies, sports, regional trends, internal costs, rebate results, basket data, frequency and redemption, with all these different data sets interacting and helping retailers draw conclusions.
"Big data is not as scary as it seems," he said. "It's a creative endeavor, a tool for asking questions."
Retailers in this channel have yet to truly access the opportunity of big data, said Neil Crist, chief executive officer of Venulabs, Bellevue, Wash., and moderator of the session. He said part of the journey is to visualize what can be done with data that companies already have access to.
And for retailers, I imagine that potential is something to draw a heart around.

That day happens to be the 40th anniversary of a U.S.-backed coup that installed a brutal military government that ruled with an iron fist from 1976 to 1983.
The latest person to criticize Obama is Argentine Nobel Peace Prize winner Adolfo Perez Esquivel, who won the prize in 1980 for his defense of human rights during Argentina's so-called "Dirty War."
Esquivel said the U.S. leader should skip his planned March 24th visit. He told the Associated Press that he plans to publish an open letter this week. Esquivel and Obama know each other through the Nobel Prize; Obama won it in 2009. Esquivel said the two had communicated before over human rights issues, including the indefinite detentions of prisoners at the U.S. naval base Guantanamo Bay.
Esquivel said he welcomes Obama, and thinks it's great that an American president wants to better get to know people in Latin America. However, he should not visit on March 24, Esquivel said. On that day in 1976, the military staged a coup. Human rights groups estimate that 30,000 people were killed or disappeared during the 1976 to 1983 military government.

"I'm a survivor of that era, of the flights of death, of the torture, of the prisons, of the exiles," said Esquivel, sitting in his office. "And when you analyze the situation in depth, the United States was responsible for the coups in Latin America."
Obama, after visiting Cuba, plans to arrive in Buenos Aires on March 23, and be in the country on March 24. Since the visit was announced several weeks ago, many human rights groups have voiced opposition to an American president being in Argentina on that day.
They argue that military governments across the region flourished thanks to backing by the U.S. during the Cold War with the Soviet Union. They point to declassified U.S. State Department documents that indicate Henry Kissinger, America's former secretary of state, gave his approval to the generals to implement "dirty war" tactics for the sake of civil order.
Argentine President Mauricio Macri, a conservative who ran on promises to improve relations with other nations, particularly the United States, has tried to dampen the controversy. He has met with human rights groups and argued that the visit won't take away from commemorative events. But activists have not been swayed.
Obama "is the false face of the Nobel Prize and we believe there are many things he should pay for," said Hebe de Bonafini, president of iconic human rights group Mothers of Plaza the Mayo. "We don't want him here."
The U.S. ambassador to Argentina, Noah Mamet, told the Clarin newspaper that Obama had to come on those days because they wanted to combine the visit with the trip to Cuba on March 21-22.
"The United States government shares with Argentina the defense of human rights as a universal principal," Mamet told the paper.
The U.S. Embassy did not respond to requests for more comment.
"I think it's great (for Obama to come)," said Esquivel. "The question is when and how."

false compassion
|Posted on September 3, 2017 at 5:30 AM
May my words be in the Name of the Holy & Undivided Trinity: + Father, Son, & Holy Spirit. Amen.
In our Gospel reading today* (printed below) we see St Peter try to persuade our Lord from accepting the things that must happen to him – that he must go to Jerusalem, suffer greatly at the hands of the authorities there, and be killed. And it must surely seem to us that the reaction of St Peter is a very natural one – the man whom he has left everything for to follow, the man he believes to be the promised and long-awaited Messiah, the man he has declared to be the Son of the Living God, the man he calls master and teacher and Lord, the man he loves more than life itself has told him that he is soon to face a very cruel fate. And the greatest of the Apostles is quite frankly appalled. So much so that he is moved to speak to our Lord in a manner that is, to put it bluntly, astonishing. He begins to rebuke him! Imagine – a mere man takes it upon himself to rebuke the One he knows to be the Son of God! But, as I said, at a certain level his reaction to the information that Jesus shares with him about future events can be seen as being quite natural. Who among us, after all, would be happy to be told that even someone we did not like very much was soon to suffer greatly and then die? And if we were told that this was to be the fate of someone we greatly loved, would we not do everything within our power to prevent those terrible future events from taking place?
And yet the reaction of our Lord shows that reactions such as St Peter's are not to be countenanced. Consider: he does not say to him 'I know that you are saying this because you love me and do not wish to see me suffer'; and he does not say 'you speak this way because you are a man of great compassion who does not wish to see someone else in pain'. No; he says 'Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me; for you are not on the side of God, but of men.' He is telling St Peter that when he behaves in this way, even though he may think he speaks out of love, out of compassion, that he is actually doing the work of Satan; that far from being good, what he is doing is evil. Why? Because he is placing the way human mind thinks and the human heart feels above the will of God as it has been revealed to him. And let us be quite clear – God's will has been revealed to him concerning this matter in a very unambiguous and direct way. For he has been told by Jesus himself what the fate of the Christ is to be; and he himself, only moments before, just a few verses prior to those we hear read in our Gospel reading today, when Jesus asks his disciples who do they say that he is, has declared that he is the Christ, the Son of God.
This, of course, makes St Peter's actions all the more surprising. He knows this is the will of God – for the Son of God himself has told him that it is. And yet he sets himself to argue against it. This demonstrates to us what a powerful temptation it is that St Peter faced – the temptation that when obeying God's will seems hard or to come at a great a cost to try and find a way around it. It is so powerful a temptation that it is little wonder that we will often hear people speak out against the clear teachings of Scripture or the Church founded by Christ, saying that those teachings must be changed, or if not changed at least not acted upon, so we can deal with people more compassionately, or more pastorally … but it is a false compassion as the reaction of our Lord to the words of St Peter shows. It is false because even though these things may seem good, even godly to us, they are not – they are evil, they are of Satan. It is false because it puts the desires of men before the will of God.
And it is false because it forgets, as St Peter did that day, that there are things beyond this life. For when our Lord outlined the fate of the Christ to his disciples on that occasion, it did not end with suffering, it did not end with death. It ended with the Resurrection – the Resurrection which is for us the promise of eternal life. That is why Jesus was able to tell his followers that they must take up their cross if they wished to follow him; because no matter what it cost them to do so, it would not end in death for them just as it did not for him – it would end in eternal life. And it was for eternal life that we were all created; it was for eternal life for us all that Christ suffered and died and rose again; and it is for eternal life, for ourselves and all others that we must daily strive … even as we pray for it in the Name of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
*Matthew 16: 21-28
From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised. 22 And Peter took him and began to rebuke him, saying, "God forbid, Lord! This shall never happen to you." 23* But he turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me; for you are not on the side of God, but of men." 24* Then Jesus told his disciples, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? Or what shall a man give in return for his life? 27* For the Son of man is to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay every man for what he has done. 28* Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom."

On Saturday, March 12, 2011, I lost my dad to pancreatic cancer. He lived in New Mexico, and I was blessed with visits almost every month since his diagnosis in September, 2010.
My dad and I were always close, and I was grateful I didn't have to make up for lost time. The time we had was wonderful, and only re-affirmed how fantastic of a dad he truly was. He was also an amazing writer and poet, and an awesome, awesome grandpa. He was only 64 years old, though, and I thought I would have him in my life for many more years than he was given.
My mama lived about ten minutes from me. My mama was a wonderful mom, always forgiving, always willing to help out, and was always happy to see me, and her grandchildren. She was generous and loving and genuine. She was an amazing artist, with incredible talent, and she shared that creativity as a teacher, art exhibitor, and volunteer.
I was in New Mexico the weekend my dad died, and I was anxious to reach my mama to tell her of the news. I wasn't sure how she would react, and I was concerned. Although my parents were divorced, they were still friends, very much respected one another, and did their best to look out for each other.
When I couldn't reach my mama, I called a good friend of mine and asked her to go to my mom's house to ensure she was alright. I had the opportunity to talk with my mom that Sunday afternoon, and she sounded really good. I can't express the amount of relief I felt when I heard her voice. She told me she missed me, and I told her I loved her, and would be at her house as soon as I got off the plane the following day. And, I was. The moment my plane landed Monday, my husband picked me up and took me directly to my mama's house. It was there that I found my mom on the floor, unresponsive. She spent eight days in ICU, but she never woke up. She died Monday, March 21, 2011. She was also only 64.
With shock and disbelief, I lost both of my parents only nine days apart. The last few years have been difficult, surreal, sad, and the harsh reality often slaps me in the face. However, my parents were absolutely amazing people. They allowed me to be me, and whenever I made a mistake (which was often!), they helped pick me up and encouraged me to move forward.
I've always been involved in social causes, and my parents always supported my ambitions of helping others. I'm who I am today because of my mom and dad, and I'm incredibly blessed to call them my parents.

The holidays (Halloween through New Year's Eve) are traditionally a time to spend with family. They are a time of giving and sharing. It is also a time of huge commercialism and excess, but that is a story for another day. Families gather together to eat, catch up and celebrate.
Family is an interesting concept to this ordinary lady. Most define family very narrowly as those who share a common ancestry, blood relations, or marriage relations. 32 plus years living and working with the military has changed my definition of family, made it much broader. While I still see family as having a relationship to me through blood or marriage, it is also much more.
Family are the women/men who waited with you for news of our deployed soldiers who are currently under a communication black out. (For those of you non-military types, communication blackouts are not good things. They usually happen as a result of a fatality, or increased hostile presence in an area – which can lead to fatalities. Communication is blacked out until either the hostilities decrease or the next of kin is notified.) Family are the men and women who served down range with you or a spouse. Family are the folks living in the Government quarters on either side of yours who routinely lend you sugar, watch your kids while you run an errand, or mow the lawn for you while your soldier is deployed. Family is the single soldier so far from home that he just needs a place to "hang" for a bit and eat a home cooked meal or who spends two weeks in your home taking care of your kids while you finally get an adult vacation. Family is the soldier I never met, whose wife died delivering his twins at the same time I lost my son, whose babies received my expressed breast milk (for months) because it would not dry up and it had to go somewhere.
Family are those that we share our fears, tears, joys, and lives with, blood related or not. No matter how you define family, take a moment this holiday season and think about those who cannot spend time with their "families" including military, police, medical services, fire services, etc. Those folks are out there doing a job that is often thankless. They deserve our respect and remembrance that they are working and away from family so we can spend time with our families.
The holidays are a time of celebration. Many cultures during this time of the year celebrate a specific holiday such as Christmas, Hanukkah, Yule, and Kwanzaa (just to name a few). These holidays have a variety of similarities (families gathering, food consuming, and gift giving/receiving) and a variety of differences or practices. This ordinary lady is utterly fascinated by the different celebrations. All so similar and yet so different from how I was raised. Yet, each is spectacular in their own right.
Through the military, I was given the opportunity to learn about different cultures up close and personal. Variations in holiday celebrations are always so fun. Over the years bits and pieces of different traditions have found their way into our own family celebrations. I believe this has enriched our own traditions. Never at any time have I ever feel offended by someone else's beliefs or traditions. Instead, I have always felt flattered that others wanted to share their traditions with me. I know that I do not have to believe the same as someone else to have RESPECT for their traditions. How did we get to this place where everyone is offended by everything?
This "offended" attitude is very clear especially in the various holiday greetings. I cannot image why someone would be offended by a sincere greeting of "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Hanukkah" even if you are not Christian or Jewish. The greeting "Happy Holidays" is bound to start offending some folks soon, then what do we do? Bah, it is all nonsense. If you are offended, then just be offended, quietly! Last time I checked no one has died of feeling offended.
So I say to everyone, try to practice tolerance of the beliefs of others, suspend your need to be offended that others have different beliefs. Say, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Joyous Kwanzaa, Happy Hanukkah, Merry Yuletide, Feliz Navidad, Fröhliche Weihnachten, joyeux Noël, Mele Kalikimaka or any appropriate greeting, not to offend others but as a sincere desire for others to be happy. I promise that I will not be offended by any holiday greetings given to me.
May you all find JOY in this holiday season!

But that was truly a different era, an era when our sometimes evil, sometimes doddering prez had a hard time remembering which country he was addressing; American pols cozied up with foreign despots and arts funding became a memory. Heck, no one can muster any righteous radicalism in an age when even the good guys are sleazy and rockers seem more interested in the sudden availability of porn babes. "Mad World?" "Vote with a Bullet?" Nah, let's just talk chads and dimpled ballots, hoping that, in the final tally, the lesser creep wins.
In music, as in politics and big business, if you're not expanding, you're getting left in the dust. COC has continued to grow, even nabbing a Grammy nomination in '97. Weatherman still delivers instantly recognizable slippery solos and Billy Gibbon-size riffs, and despite increasingly painful back injuries, Mullin is still the drummer who influenced tons of kids to pick up the sticks. Bassist Dean anchors the rhythm section and Keenan's developed a mean growl reminiscent of Metallica's James Hetfield.
But lyrically, the Keenan-powered COC of the '90s has increasingly featured nonpolitical, personal lyrics. The band that skewered meathead livin' back with An Eye for an Eye's "Redneckkk" seems to have come full circle on the gearhead-with-a-chubbie car anthem "Gittin' it On" or the devil-as-my-copilot, "I'm in love with a widow soon to be" rage rocker "Diablo Avenue."
And with "Stare Too Long," COC gives the biggest nod yet to its Southern roots. A slice of undistilled Duane-era Allman Brothers, the track even features a make-me-weep slide guitar cameo by no other than Warren Haynes (Allmans, Government Mule). Keenan's eerily accurate Van Zant-isms, coupled with the band's soulful shuffle, takes this tune beyond mere homage to a level of pure feeling.
America's Volume Dealer does dispense with enough riffage to please the post-metal crowd, but bear in mind: This ain't yo' mama's COC.
