Evolution - In search of the ultimate high
by Saurabh Bhattacharya
...On one level, I was still a fetus experiencing the ultimate perfection of a good womb. On another level, I became the universe; I was witnessing the macrocosm with countless pulsating galaxies and was it at the same time...
...I expanded all at once into a glowing conscious circle, growing larger and larger, until a maximum was reached, the 'I' remaining as it was, but instead of a confining unit, now encompassed by a shining globe of vast dimensions..
The excerpts given above describe two spiritual-mystical experiences-one
resulting from meditation and the other from a drug 'trip'. Can you figure out which is which? In
all probability, you can't, unless you have either come across these passages
earlier or are plain lucky. Or, of course, if you have had what is popularly
known as the 'psychedelic experience' and can recognize a high when you
see one.
The similarities between a drug-induced experience and a mystical vision
are far too alarming for our anti-drug conditioned mind to completely
appreciate. It is a historical fact that, all over the world, drug visions
have always been considered redundant, if not downright heretical, by
established mainstream spiritual traditions. Over the years, the term
'drug' itself has been successfully stigmatized by society. Not without
cause, as is evident in the havoc wreaked by drugs on the world's youth
from the '60s till today.
Yet, it is also a historical fact that for centuries, psychedelic drugs
such as marijuana, mescaline and psilocybin have been integral to the
spiritual practices of various tribal cultures and yogic traditions respected
even today for their wisdom. Shamans
of South America's Yaqui tribe use psilocybin and mescaline extensively
during meditation. In India, the Aghora sect of Tantra and a significant section of Shaivite Tantrics ritually
partake of marijuana as part of their sadhana (spiritual exercise).
The third most important deity in the Vedas,
after Indra and Agni, is Soma, symbolized by the intoxicating plant soma
and its juice. Even the first sutra of Kaivalya Pada in Patanjali's Yoga Sutra recognizes the path of drugs thus: "Janmaushadhi-mantra-tapah-samadhi-jah
siddhayah (The siddhis (occult powers) are the result of birth,
drugs, mantra, austerities or samadhi)."
What we term as 'drugs'substances whose use (or abuse) leads to
physical and/or psychological addictionare technically known as
psychoactive drugs. These can roughly be divided into three groups:
Sedative/HypnoticThis group includes tranquilizers, barbiturates,
opium and its derivatives such as heroin or brown sugar. The potential
for physical addiction here is particularly high and the results are
far from healthy.
StimulantsThis comprises caffeine, nicotine, cocaine,
anti-depressants and amphetamines. All these drugs, although low on
physical dependence, range from moderate to high in the psychological
dependence scale.
PsychedelicsThe drugs in this category include cannabis
and its various derivatives (hashish, marijuana, bhang, charas
and ganja), LSD
(lysergic acid diethyl amide), psilocybin
(found in magic mushrooms) and mescaline
(found in the peyote cactus). The potential for physical dependence
on these drugs is nil, and the psychological dependence ranges from
moderate to zero. Most spiritual traditions that use drugs concentrate
primarily on this group, because of their vision-generating capacities.
According to Pradeep Guha, a senior journalist based in New Delhi,
India, who has been studying the world of psychedelics both in theory
and practice for the past 30-odd years, the stigma attached to the
word 'drug' today is unwarranted. "There are the 'hard drugs' such
as morphine, heroin or opiates," he explains, "and there are the 'soft
drugs', which include not only the well-known cannabis family, but
also alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, and cocaine. All these drugs, when
abused, definitely have bad effects. But this does not justify the
moralistic tenor the word 'drug' itself has been burdened with. Why
should society condone alcohol and cigarettes and shiver at the mere
thought of ganja?"
In fact, according to a news report published in the New
Scientist magazine (February 21, 1998), a December 1997 study
by the World Health Organization noted that cannabis use is much safer
than alcohol or tobacco. The article, however, adds that the relevant
section never saw the light of day, thanks to pressure from the US
National Institute on Drug Abuse and the UN International Drug Control
Says Dr Amiya Banerjee, a psychiatrist at the New Delhi-based Vidyasagar
Institute of Mental Health and Neuroscience (VIMHANS): "Traditionally,
in India, we had a good adaptation to cannabis and opium, which was
sufficiently low in potency. But then the western chemist came upon
the wonder plant of opium, brought it to exceedingly purified levels,
and began marketing it. The resultant addiction havoc worried the
Big Brother of the West so much that it decided to clamp down on the
drug source." The result: a bane on the word 'drug' and the gradual
death of a significant, albeit peripheral, spiritual means.
But are the psychedelics really that spiritual? Can they be passports
to the ultimate high that every spiritual seeker thirsts for? Or are they a load of
dangerous rubbish packaged in the mystique of myth and tall tales?
"With the first drag, Shiva (a Hindu deity) made the sky. With the
second, he made the earth and with the third he made this world." This,
according to Dr Molly Kaushal, research officer at the Indira Gandhi National
Centre for the Arts in New Delhi, is how the Gaddi tribals of the northern
Indian hill state of Himachal Pradesh describe the act of Creation. The
'drag' here, of course, refers to a puff of cannabis.
As she tells me this, an excited Madhusudan Baul, a folk singer from the
eastern Indian state of West Bengal, chips in: "These three puffs are
extremely important. There is a proper ritual involved in taking them.
There should be a gap of at least 90 seconds between each puff. And the
high that you reach after three puffs is the climax. No further smoking
will make any difference."
what does he feel when he is on such a high? Madhusudan closes
his eyes in bliss as he recalls: "We all know that God resides everywhere.
But we see Him in bits and pieces. Cannabis makes me see God in His
entirety. It is a sight of such unalloyed joy that tears well up in
my eyes."
A junkie's gobbledygook? Not quite, points out Madhu Khanna, New Delhi-based
Tantra scholar. "When you are on the spiritual path," she explains,
"your body energies and vital centers are already in a heightened state
of awareness. At this point, when you take ganja, you become
completely in harmony. The drug allows you to get focused." But such
a harmony comes with a rider: that of ritualized discipline. You can't
reach this state of divine bliss in a disco, merrily tripping on a joint.
A mystical experience with psychedelics demands a complete overhaul
of your attitude towards life.
Come to think of it, almost every serious psychedelic tradition has
underscored the importance of discipline in using drugs. As Nicholas
Saunders, the man known to popularize the synthetic drug Ecstasy,
once said: "Spiritual experiences are special events. There is no known
way that they can be induced reliably, although various religious techniques,
such as meditation, can help to create a situation where they are more
likely to occur."
In this context, Saunders uses the words 'set' and 'setting'both
terms popularized in the '60s by psychedelic guru Timothy Leary. 'Set'
means the proper frame of mind for a spiritual experience through drugs.
Ideally, says Saunders, the mind should be thirsting for the experience
and should be completely at peace. Next comes the 'setting', the physical
state. The aspirant should be relaxed, and in a comfortable situation
and place. Over and above, Saunders emphasizes the need for a proper
'sitter', a guide who will help the aspirant through the 'trip'.
The importance of a proper guide is nowhere more highlighted than in
the works of enigmatic anthropologist-turned-sorcerer Carlos
Castaneda. The acolyte of Yaqui Indian shaman don Juan, Castaneda
began his journey into the mystical world by eating the mescaline-rich
cactus given by his guru. The resulting bizarre visions that make up
his books apparently helped open the floodgates of his own consciousness.
is no place for frivolity in a serious psychedelic experience. Even author
and scholar Aldous
Huxley, whose path-breaking book The
Doors Of Perception was one of the first works to highlight the
spiritual element in psychedelic drugs, cautioned: "There is a feeling
that the experience is so transcendentally important that it is in no
circumstance a thing to be entered upon light-heartedly or for enjoyment."
Somewhere down the line, however, the emphasis on discipline got swept
away by the manic intensity and the accessibility of the experience. In
1943, a Swiss chemist called Albert Hofmann accidentally discovered the
chemical LSD, colloquially known as 'acid' and by far the strongest psychedelic
drug around. Huxley, whose experience with mescaline had made him a serious
student of psychedelics, experimented with LSD and extolled its virtues
in his later books Heaven and Hell and Island. The last
book, in fact, envisioned a world where a psychedelic drug called moksha
blended with the ideology of Eastern mystical works such as the Tibetan
Book of the Dead and the Bhagavad
Gita to create an intellectual utopia. Although his books instilled
sufficient interest in the youth of the time to move east and discover
marijuana, the final psychedelic boom was still waiting in the wings in
the form of a maverick professor of psychologyTimothy
Together with another psychologist Richard Alpert (who later shifted more
towards spirituality to become Baba
Ram Dass) and a bunch of eager students, Leary soon launched a full-scale
study called the Psilocybin Project at Harvard University, USA. The aim
of this project was, in the words of Robert Forte, editor of Timothy
Leary: Outside Looking In, to "understand the revelatory potentials
of the human nervous system and to make these insights available to others".
During this period, Leary also conducted the controversial Good
Friday Experiment, which "produced religious insights under psilocybin
in theology students that were indistinguishable from those of the most
renowned mystics and saints". The aim of this experiment, which took place
in 1962 on Good Friday at Boston University, USA, was to gauge the spiritual-mystical
effects of psychedelic drugs. Service was conducted in the main chapel
of the university, while the experiment took place in another chapel linked
by a loudspeaker. One and a half hours before the service, all the 20
volunteers were given identical looking capsules. While half contained
psilocybin, others were placebos. The experiment was conducted in standard
double blind fashion: neither researchers nor participants knew who had
the 'real thing'.
With the success of the Good Friday Experiment and the popularity of the
Psilocybin Project, what had begun as research soon turned into outright
advocacy. In 1963, Leary was expelled from Harvard, thrusting him and
the drugs he promoted into national prominence. He became a teen icon
of sorts, touting LSD as the wonder drug of the century. His oft-quoted
words 'turn on, tune in, drop out' became the slogan for a youth tired
of Vietnam, conventional education and morally uptight religion. The boom
had begun in earnest.
"The early trips of the 1960s were done reverently," recalls Tal Brooke,
a member of the psychedelic generation who later became a close disciple
of Sathya Sai Baba in India, and then libeled him in his book Lord
of the Air. "People would read Jung,
Blake, Emerson and Martin Buber
and then proceed in a woody setting. But by 1967, people were taking off
in droves, like hordes of lemmings. They would OD (overdose) at rock festivals
or watching a film... In shopping plazas stoned people were getting the
cosmological eye and could discern nuances of truth from the most pedestrian
things." Unable to control the effect of the LSD-generated visions and
without prior preparation, many people began committing suicide. Often,
an overdose led to a comatose state that continued for hours. The storm
triggered by Leary claimed far too many victims.
Despite the negative backlash, which finally led to a widespread ban on
all psychedelic drugs, the movement did help open the portals of consciousness
for many. When the pharmaceutical giant Sandoz began manufacturing LSD,
the drug's main clients were psychologists and psychotherapists. Their
interest in this, and similar psychedelic drugs, stemmed from the element
of schizophrenia present in the drug-induced visions. Not surprisingly,
the community most shaken by the mystical tenor of the visions comprised
leading clinical psychologists, such as
Dr Stanislav Grof and Dr Walter Huston Clark. Notes Dr Grof in his
seminal book on LSD research, Realms of the Human Unconscious:
"There are numerous indications that the maps of consciousness emerging
from my LSD work are fully compatible and sometimes parallel with other
existing systems. Examples of this can be found in Jung's analytical psychology,
Roberto Assagioli's psychosynthesis
and Abraham Maslow's
studies of peak experiences, as well as religious and mystical schools
of various cultures."
Was it possible, then, that psychedelic drugs were indeed the ideal guides
on a journey through the mind? To answer this query, it is first necessary
to know why these drugs affect the mind the way they do. Although a large
amount of research has been conducted on the chemical properties of psychedelics,
science is still a bit foggy on the issue. Different theories have been
floated on how the primary chemical in cannabis, a compound called tetra-hydro-cannabinol
(THC) that's found in the leaves and flowers of the shrub Cannabis
sativa, precisely works in the body. One theory states that THC binds
itself to certain receptors in the brain and the liver and this creates
hallucinations. Another theory argues that THC reacts with the brain cells
to create abnormal sensations.
Opinions also vary in the case of LSD, which apparently 'mimics' the serotonin
already present in the brain to give abnormal messages to the body's neuro-sensory
system. The precise reaction of mescaline and psilocybin is still being
studied. Overall, the scientific impression is that psychedelics have
chemicals that act upon the brain cells to produce 'visions' disparate
from the real world. But what is the meaning of these visions? Science
cannot answer this question.
Obvious questions arise in this context. If a shift from reality is the
reason for psychedelic use, is not a transcendence of reality the aim
of meditation? If a psychedelic 'trip' can give you an experience similar
to that of sages and mystics, why not go for it? Is there any harm if
nirvana comes in the form of a reefer? Die-hard psychedelic advocates
such as scholar Terence Mckenna
see no harm in using the 'psychedelic experience' as a synonym for spirituality.
"What the psychedelic experience really is," he said, "is opening the
doorway into a lost continent of the human mind." Mckenna saw in this
doorway the path to a cosmic comprehension.
Perhaps he is not far from the truth. Famous Indian saints such as Baba
Muktananda and Neem
Karoli Baba do not deny the mystical potential, albeit dangerously
limited, of psychedelics. In one of his discourses, as recorded in Satsang
With Baba, Muktananda states: "It is not correct to say that LSD helps
you evolve spiritually. However, LSD draws the mind inward and it is then
able to have some inner experiences, seeing sights of the inner worlds."
But, he adds, this is possible as long as the effect of the drug
lasts. After that, it is back to square one.
Neem Karoli Baba forwarded a similar view when he was asked by one
of his disciples whether taking hashish helps spiritual development. "You
should smoke hashish like Lord Shiva," he said, "only to be with God.
But smoking hashish is not necessary to reach God. The effect only lasts
a short while. Devotion to God is an addiction that lasts all the time."
The whole drugs versus spirituality argument has been synthesized by author
and founder of Creative Psychology Robert S.D. Roth in his well-known
book The Master Game. "The high ends of Creative Psychology," he
says, "can no more be attained by taking drugs than the high ends of art
can be achieved by slopping paint about at random. However, if psychedelics
are taken under the right conditions, with proper preparation, under the
supervision of one who knows how to guide the explorer in the territory
he will enter, they can, on occasions at least. challenge the traveler,
saying: 'These are the peaks of the mountains. They really exist. Now
make up your mind. Are you strong and persistent enough to try to climb
If that were the case, perhaps it is time the psychedelic experience is
retrieved from the cobwebs of a justifiable, though alarmist, legislation
and social mindset to breath free in the next millennium. There are pitfalls
on the psychedelic path. You may never even reach your destination. But
then, haven't saints around the world declared frequently: "There are
as many paths to the ultimate High as there are beliefs"?

Chester is seeking village center designationBy Christian Avard
Staff Writer | April 29,2013CHESTER The town of Chester is promoting economic development through tax credits.
Town officials, business owners and local residents attended a presentation Tuesday on downtown village and tax credit programs. By obtaining a state village center designation, commercial buildings within a given area can qualify for tax credits.
The state program is about encouraging investment in downtowns and village centers, said Caitlyn Corkins, coordinator of the downtown and village tax credit program. The goal is to prevent demolition of historic buildings and encourage reinvestment. Vermont ranks near the top in the number of tax credit projects.
The town of Chester is in the process of obtaining a village center designation from the state. By doing so, it will enhance the towns historic character and increase the towns tax base, according to town officials.
You have to clean up and maintain what you have and it may bring more people to these places, which indirectly increases their value and improves economic development, said Select Board Chairman John DeBenedetti.
Town officials are now determining what the boundaries will be. DeBenedetti said it could be as far north as Town Hall, as far south as Grafton Road, as far west as Lovers Lane and as far east as the post office.
Corkins said the town of Chester is already listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is pre-qualified for federal tax credits. What differentiates the federal from the state program is eligibility requirements.
According to Corkins, the federal program is open to commercial buildings and private homes, whereas the state program applies to commercial buildings and rental properties. Federal guidelines for renovation projects are more flexible, while buildings in state-designated village centers are limited to general rehabilitation, code compliance, exterior improvements and other regulations.
Mount Holly, Ludlow, Weston, Plymouth and Cavendish have state-designated village centers. Chester is one of the only remaining towns in southern Windsor County without a village center designation.
Lynne Reed is the co-owner of Misty Valley Books located on the green in Chester. She said several historical homes are in need of renovations.
She agreed with DeBenedetti that the town needs a village center designation and tax credits can only benefit local businesses.
I think it would be really great. It really would encourage people to buy buildings and rehabilitate them, Reed said.
The Select Board will discuss the village center designation at an upcoming meeting on a date to be determined.

Are There Lessons for Internal Auditing in All of This?
Posted on Feb 25, 2009
The great French military and political leader, Charles de Gaulle, is said to have observed that "generals are always fighting the last war." The reasoning behind this often-used quote is that military threats are always changing and evolving, and there is a temptation to assume that the next threat will look just like the last one. My fear is that internal auditors are tempted to fall into this trap. However, focusing audit coverage on "yesterday's risks" can result in being ill-prepared when new calamities appear.

Purchase cataloguePainted with Words is a compelling look at Vincent van Gogh's correspondence to his young colleague Émile Bernard between 1887 and 1889. Van Gogh's words and sketches reveal his thoughts about art and life and communicate his groundbreaking work in Arles to his fellow painter. Van Gogh's letters to Bernard reveal the tenor of their relationship. Van Gogh assumed the role of an older, wiser brother, offering praise or criticism of Bernard's paintings, drawings, and poems. At the same time the letters chronicle van Gogh's own struggles, as he reached his artistic maturity in isolation in Arles and St. Rémy. Throughout the letters are no less than twelve sketches by van Gogh meant to provide Bernard with an idea of his work in progress, including studies related to the paintings The Langlois Bridge, Houses at Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, Boats on the beach at Saintes-Maries, The Sower, and View of Arles at Sunset. The translations used in this presentation are from the catalogue for the exhibition: Vincent van Gogh Painted with Words, The Letters to Émile Bernard and are reproduced by kind permission of the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam.Major support for Painted with Words: Vincent van Gogh's Letters to Émile Bernard and its accompanying catalogue was provided by the International Music and Art Foundation. Generous support was also provided by the Robert Lehman Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Vincent van Gogh, letter to Émile Bernard, Arles, 19 April 1888, Letter 4, page 3(Continued from page 2) Saw a brothel here on Sunday (not to mention the other days), a large room tinged with a bluish limewash—like a village school—a good fifty or so red soldiers and black civilians, with faces of a magnificent yellow or orange (what tones in the faces down here), the women in sky blue, in vermilion, everything that's of the purest and gaudiest. All of it in yellow light. Far less gloomy than the establishments of the same kind in Paris. Spleen is not in the air down here. At present I'm still keeping very quiet and very calm, because first I have to get over a stomach ailment of which I am the happy owner, but afterwards I'll have to make a lot of noise, because I aspire to share the renown of the immortal Tartarin de Tarascon. It interested me enormously that you intend spending your time in Algeria. That's perfect and a hell of a long way from being a misfortune. Truly, I congratulate you on it. We'll see each other in Marseille in any case. You'll find that you'll enjoy seeing the blue down here and feeling the sun. I now have a terrace for a studio.

Comfortable, stylish, solid and well made. Couldn't ask for anymore. Dainese have really showed up other manufactures. Really good boots!
Estos tres adjetivos son los que definen a esta bota de dainese, además han encontrado un diseño intermedio entre las botas de touring y las deportivas. El es aspecto técnico, el tacto de los pedales es preciso. Totalmente recomendable.
These boots are a great piece of kit. They fit well and feel solid and well made. I've only used them in moderately wet conditions but so far my feet have remained dry and toasty. I got these boots because my feet don't want to go into other Italian manufacturers products, maybe I have wide feet or more likely these boots are wider or have a better zip placement (its quite long to) then others I've tried. Give em a try, they're nice boots

Ink Effects are fabric transfer inks that absorb into the fabric for soft, flexible and washable transfers. Very similar to the Deka Transfer Paints that we used to sell years ago. Simply paint your design on standard copy paper then use an iron to transfer it onto a light colored wearable or home décor fabric piece of your choice. When using Ink Effects on 100% polyester, we strongly suggest that the paper is secured to the garment to prevent the image from slipping when ironing on the transfer. These work great on our polyester Sublimation Clothing and accessories!
Wear your amazing artwork in three easy steps!
1. Paint and perfect design on standard copy paper or coloring book page. Allow to dry for about 45 minutes.
2. Iron design (paint side down) onto fabric of your choice.* (you can use multiple times, until the image gets too faint)
3. Rock out your design!

The item included a little more breathless hyperbole. The Beatles took 22 years to accumulate all those hits (they charted most recently in 1996, 26 years after they broke up). The Glee cast took just one year, four months and two weeks to amass an even larger stack of hits.
Help! The information is correct. But we are comparing Apples (the name of the Beatles' record label) to oranges. Glee is an entertaining television show, with a talented and versatile cast. But the cast isn't really a group, by any reasonable definition. So it can do things that a real group can't. Six songs from Glee make the Hot 100 practically every week that a new episode airs. That's as many songs as the Beatles put on the Hot 100 in all of 1966, when they were the hottest group on the planet. My argument that the Glee cast isn't comparable to the Beatles isn't an artistic judgment. If an actual group or duo challenged the Beatles' stats, that would be a different story. Last year, the Black Eyed Peas spent 26 consecutive weeks at #1 with two monster hits, "Boom Boom Pow" and "I Gotta Feeling." The Beatles never had more than 14 consecutive weeks on top. No reasonable person (including the Peas) would say that this makes them bigger or better than the Beatles, but their achievement stands.But you can't compare the cast of a TV show that puts a half-dozen songs on the chart every week with a group that earned its hits the old-fashioned way: one by one.
Billboard chart manager Gary Trust, who wrote the Beatles' item, added some information that served to put the Glee achievement in context. Of the 75 Glee recordings to make the Hot 100, only 14 have remained on the chart for more than one week. The Glee recordings have logged 105 cumulative weeks on the Hot 100, compared to 617 for the Beatles' recordings. The Beatles had 34 top 10 hits on the Hot 100, while the Glee cast has had just one (their rendition of Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'").
The context is helpful. But the headline leaves a misleading impression to the many people who won't read the full story. Let me add a little more context.
The Glee version of "Don't Stop Believin'" is the best-seller among Glee titles, with 992,000 downloads as of this week. But 21 of the Beatles hits have been certified for U.S. sales of 1 million or more copies by the Recording Industry Assn. of America. (The group's top-seller is "Hey Jude," which is certified at 4 million.)
And while a whopping 61 of the Glee songs have spent just one week on the Hot 100, only five Beatles songs spent just one week on the chart. (Three were B sides. Two were minor releases in 1964, when various record labels flooded the market with Beatles titles.)
Joel Whitburn, the Wisconsin-based researcher who publishes a series of reference books based on the Billboard charts, faced a similar issue when he was compiling the seventh edition of his Top Pop Albums book. He decided to exclude Bill & Gloria Gaither & Their Homecoming Friends, Kidz Bop Kids and the High School Musical Cast from his list of the top 500 artists. The Gaither ensemble includes dozens of guest gospel artists. Kidz Bop Kids is a studio group. High School Musical, like Glee, is the cast of a hit TV show.Whitburn included a note explaining what he did and why. "Due to their special 'various artists' nature, there are three acts...that we have excluded from the artist rankings." He even indicated where they would have placed in the top 500 ranking if he had included them.
That's the kind of judgment and wisdom that's called for here. The Glee achievement should be noted, but it should be kept in context.
Incidentally, as if to salute the Beatles, Glee's Chris Colfer performed "I Want To Hold Your Hand" on Tuesday night's episode. It's the second time the Glee brigade has performed a Beatles song. The full New Directions ensemble tackled "Hello Goodbye" last spring. The Beatles would have had far more Hot 100 hits, but the custom in their heyday was to release fewer songs from each album. Their list of non-charting songs is long and includes such famous works as "A Day In The Life," "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds," "Michelle," "In My Life," "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)," "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "With A Little Help From My Friends."Come to think of it, that wouldn't be a bad set list for a future episode of Glee.

Opinion: Twinkies envy
Amy Goldman Koss' latest novel for teens is "The Not-So-Great Depression." This appeared in the Los Angeles Times.
IN MY CHILDHOOD, Hostess snack foods loomed as the symbol of freedom. Freedom from the cruel health food regimen and ethnic dietary peculiarities of my keepers. Freedom to eat and dance and flirt and wear loafers and be cute and silly and utterly American.
While I trudged the three blocks to the bakery for a loaf of salted and seeded rye wrapped in brown paper, I knew that happy, free girls were out there digging into plastic polka-dotted bags of Wonder Bread, selecting two perfect slices as soft as clouds. They would then roll the bread into white balls, or spread peanut butter and jelly on them. Even a single slice of baloney looked lovely and pure on Wonder Bread. These lucky girls didn't even need teeth! They could eat using only their tongues against the roofs of their mouths.
Rye bread required not only teeth, and jaws, but determination. Rye bread was no laughing matter.
Cookie counter treats
Sometimes the hair-netted lady behind the bakery counter let me pick a treat from the cookie counter. I'd choose between prune and poppy-seed filling, contained in dough so dry it screamed for milk. Or sometimes, I'd opt for the round cookies with a small dab of red jelly in the center, which my dad called "bloody sores."
These pastries did not giggle or float or bounce or look like happy coconut breasts. They had no cream filling or anything else soft and silly. The desserts of my childhood were level-headed and serious. The worldview of Hostess fun food hadn't entered my parents' consciousness, let alone their diet. Frozen peas, and a few other time-saving Sputnik foods, made it through our front door. But Twinkies? Never.
Wonder Bread
The girls at school who had Wonder Bread sandwiches and Hostess cupcakes in their lunches were the very same girls who didn't have to wear heavy, clunking oxfords for their arch support. The TVs were on in their houses while they ate dinner, and they were allowed soda pop, pizza, potato chips and store-bought cake at their birthday parties. Their moms wore makeup and heels and nail polish, and their dads joked with us. And many of them got their hair cut by actual beauticians.
I envied every single thing about them, including that they didn't seem to realize what amazing lives they had. They were entirely casual about having not just the occasional Twinkie as a super treat after hours of pleading, while facing brain surgery or because a dog had died. All they had to do was help themselves from boxes kept in their own kitchen cupboards and replenished every week!

Terry Fator and his millionaire puppets wow Nevada audiences.
Photo: PR (Terry Fator at Las Vegas Hilton)
Entertainer Terry Fator is one of the newest, and most unusual, showroom headliners in the Silver State. Last fall the Las Vegas Hilton valued the singer-impressionist-ventriloquist's worth at $1.5 million by signing him to a contract that runs through May 18. That paycheck followed his $1 million win on the NBC reality show, America's Got Talent.
Not bad considering Fator's first paying gig as a 10-year-old ventriloquist—at a church picnic in Richardson, Texas, on July 4, 1976—earned him $25. "Appearing in Las Vegas has been my dream since I was 15," Fator told a sold-out Hilton crowd in October. Now 42, he seemed in awe of the hotel's show-business legacy, ranging from Elvis to Barry Manilow. "I've been [performing] for so long," he says, "but on the stage in Vegas it feels different. It feels huge."
Fator is unique because he is not only an accomplished self-taught ventriloquist, but his 16 puppets do singing impressions—something he added to his act about two years ago. "As soon as I did that, my career took off," Fator says.
Since then his repertoire has grown to about 100 impressions, including Garth Brooks, the Bee Gees, Kermit the Frog, Michael Jackson, Etta James, Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole, and an amazing Roy Orbison.
Of his impressions, Fator says his turtle puppet's take on Orbison is extremely tough to do. '"Crying' is not difficult when your lips are moving," he says, "but when I close my lips, it's another story."
Fator calls choosing Orbison for the final rounds of America's Got Talent a "stroke of luck" and a collaborative effort between his wife, Melinda, his mother-in-law, Shirley Walker, and his sister, Debi. Shirley and Debi make the costumes for his puppets, including Walter T. Airedale, Johnny Vegas, Maynard (a stuttering Elvis), Emma Taylor, and Julius, the master of soul.
Duets are sprinkled throughout Fator's show. Winston the turtle impersonates Kermit, with Fator as Armstrong, while singing "What a Wonderful World." Johnny Vegas offers "That's Amore" as Dean Martin and alternates with "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" as Tony Bennett.
Asked how he responds when people say he has an amazing talent, Fator calls it a gift. "I can't take credit for a gift that has been given to me," he says. "But I am proud of the hard work, which is an ongoing process."
Terry Fator performs at the Las Vegas Hilton on Feb. 22-24, March 28-30, April 23-25, and May 16-18. Tickets cost $49 to $149, plus tax and service charge. Check Web site for show times. lvhilton.com, 702-732-5755
Fator is scheduled to headline on March 22 at the Peppermill in Wendover (wendoverfun.com, 775-664-2255), and on May 24 at MontBleu at Lake Tahoe (montbleuresort.com, 775-588-3515).

Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine, Craniofacial
On staff since August 2005
Children's Title: Director, Pediatric Sleep Disorders Center
Academic Title: Assistant Professor
Research Center: Center for Clinical and Translational Research
Maida Lynn Chen, MD, is director of the Pediatric Sleep Center and attending physician at Seattle Childrens Hospital and assistant professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine. She earned her MD at Northwestern University and completed a pediatrics residency at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Lukes Medical Center. She completed her pediatric pulmonary fellowship at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, with special focus on respiratory control and sleep medicine.
Her clinical interests center on sleep disorders in infants, children and adolescents. Her research interests focus on respiratory control disorders and sleep-disordered breathing in special-needs populations, including those with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, obesity and craniofacial anomalies. She is a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Thoracic Society, American Academy of Sleep Medicine and Sleep Research Society.
Respiratory control; sleep disordered breathing
I believe that getting regular, refreshing sleep is a key element of a child reaching his/her maximal developmental potential. Thus, my research focuses on sleep disorders in children with special needs, particularly those with prenatal alcohol exposure, craniofacial abnormalities, and obesity. I hope to help develop better diagnostic methods and ultimately better treatment for their sleep disorders, which cause a great deal of stress and disruption in their lives. I also have research interests in disorders of central respiratory control, such as children with congentital central hypoventilation syndrome.

We Can Be Heroes
The Mystery Behind Andrew Garfield and Batkid's Canceled Oscar Appearance
by Jill Pantozzi | 11:45 am, March 6th, 2014
The Academy Awards decided to go with a theme this year – heroes. They didn't go overboard but did have a few moments where they celebrating heroes, both real and fictional. At one point, Captain America: The Winter Soldier star Chris Evans introduced a montage of film clips pertaining to the theme, but that's not what was originally intended according to new reports. Batkid, the adorable boy who San Francisco gave a hero's adventure to back in November, was supposed to make a surprise appearance with none other than The Amazing Spider-Man's Andrew Garfield. So why didn't it happen?

Would genuinely like to hear from a pro gun NRA type.
Not sure I qualify but I think you would think I do so here goes:
Where do you draw the line between what is and isn't a firearm? Does the 2nd Amendment allow (in your mind at least) a citizen to have a rocket launcher or a laser gun?
Cannon were not mentioned in the 2nd Amendment. Rockets were not mentioned and they were around (if relatively ineffective) when it was drafted as well. That would mean a rocket launcher would not be considered a firearm. As for a laser, the only ones that actually work as weapons are of cannon size so I would put it in that category. We have also decided that fully automatic weapons fit into the 'bigger than a firearm' category and their ownership should be restricted though they are a grey area so ownership restrictions are likewise grey. Calibers above a certain size also fit into the 'cannon' category.
What are you going to do when the technology of simple side arms develops to the point where you an take out a room full of people by pressing a trigger and letting you gun do all the aiming etc..?
Call it an IED, claymore mine or hand grenade. The comparison is obvious. The EU (and even UK) has had more problems with such weapons than the US and it only stopped when attitudes changed. If we ban such a thing and it is widely desired I expect we will be about as successful at preventing it from being sold as we are at stopping illegal drugs unless we too manage attitudes and expectations around it.
I too would love that but the problem is it would require a terrific amount of data entry and modeling for a small return. At best we'll end up with Ikea instructions and most stuff will still include poorly translated Chinese.
Testing can show the presense of bugs, but not their absence. -- Dijkstra

ST. LOUIS -- It's not easy to pick a best season for Albert Pujols, but his 2009 campaign has to be in the discussion. As a result he appears to be well on his way to a third National League Most Valuable Player Award and, perhaps, even his first unanimous selection.
But Pujols looks at things by a different measure. Though statistically he may be on his way to a career year, he has a different standard. His career year, in his own mind, was the one that ended with the Cardinals celebrating on the field at Busch Stadium as World Series champions.

"I think it's too early to say that [this is my best year]," Pujols said. "The reason I say that is because in 2006 I accomplished what I wanted, and that was winning the World Series. But number-wise, [I could hit] 50 home runs, [record a] career high in RBIs, but I don't necessarily think that means that's your best year."
Still, Pujols is en route to a historic season even within his own career. He stands at 47 home runs with two weeks remaining, giving him a shot at 50 for the first time (his personal best is 49, in 2006). His 127 RBIs are 10 shy of his career high, his .680 slugging percentage would be a career best and he's already set a personal mark with 107 walks.
Pressed a little, though, he admits he has little to complain about as far as his 2009 season goes.

"Consistency-wise, I think I can compare this with the 2003 and 2006 seasons, when I was really consistent with my swing," he said. "I think this year I have been consistent since Day 1, even though I had a bad Spring Training. I put that in the past, and it didn't bother me at all. And I'm a guy who likes to have a really consistent Spring Training, and I didn't have one."
With the Cardinals a heavy favorite to make the postseason, it would be staggering if Pujols doesn't pick up MVP Award No. 3. Especially since, for 3 1/2 months, he was the unquestioned driving force in the Cards' lineup. In the second half, he has been joined in the heart of the order by Matt Holliday, but in the first half, he did much of the heavy lifting himself.
"We have a nice team," manager Tony La Russa said. "We had a winning team, near first place or in first place [in the first half], and he was the difference in the majority of those games. I don't know who the candidates are, but I can't remember playing anybody and thinking, 'Wow, this guy's as valuable as Albert.' "
