Thanksgiving Day in the United States is a day synonymous with family gatherings, football, ingesting loads of delicious holiday fixings, and of course, giving thanks for the year's blessings. But have you ever wondered what that spirit of Thanksgiving means to people from other parts of the world?
This week, the News ventured out into the Goshen community to speak with people whose origins span the entire globe. And while the names and dates of their traditional celebrations may differ widely from our own, for many, the need to celebrate and give thanks for one's blessings is the same in any language.
Take, for example, Thushanti Kamalakanth, a native of Sri Lanka currently working as a lawyer in Goshen.
In her native Sri Lanka, Kamalakanth pointed to the traditional Sinhala and Tamil New Year as the holiday most closely connected with our Thanksgiving holiday here in the United States.
"We call it the Sinhala and Tamil New Year because we have mostly two predominant groups in Sri Lanka, the Sinhalese and the Tamals," Kamalakanth said. "In Sri Lanka, we believe that the New Year starts in April, so the day falls somewhere between April 12 and 14. It is very similar I believe in the sense where, it's not really like giving thanks for the harvest as such, but kind of celebrating the harvest."
During the Sri Lankan New Year, one of the most common traditions is to gather freshly harvested rice grains — a staple of the Sri Lankan diet — and cook what is known as milk rice, or rice soaked in coconut milk.
"Once you begin cooking, you are then supposed to let the pot overflow, and the idea is to represent being bountiful," Kamalakanth said. "It's also similar in that this is the time when everybody gets together in the family. So you will have these really distant, distant relatives that you are obligated to go and visit. You may not see them the whole year, but if you don't go to a relative's house during the New Year, then it's seen as if you have more or less written them off. Then the really close family will get together in one person's house, and there is this big deal about new clothes, where everybody will wear brand new clothes, and everybody is given gifts."
Having lived in the United States for the past five years, Kamalakanth said she has done her best to adopt as many of the traditional United States holidays as possible, Thanksgiving being no exception.
"Well, I'm a party girl. I like any chance to have fun," Kamalakanth said with a laugh. "But really, people here have been extremely welcoming. That's one of the reasons I like Goshen so much. So every time Thanksgiving comes around, my husband and I get about three or four invitations, so we actually end up having to choose where to go. So yes, we definitely get together on Thanksgiving."
Over at NorthWood High School in Nappanee, Turkish foreign exchange student Sunce Selcuk noted that while Turkey does not have a comparative Thanksgiving holiday of its own, the country does recognize several holidays with similar themes and activities.
"We don't have Thanksgiving, but we have some religious holidays that are similar to it where we come together with our families and eat dinner and celebrate together," Selcuk said. "But I've never experienced an actual Thanksgiving Day before. When the holidays come in Turkey, we don't go to school, we don't go to work, we just come together to celebrate or to go on holiday, to summer places, things like that. So it's a lot of fun."
Having only been in the United States for the past three months, Selcuk said she is excited about spending her first Thanksgiving holiday with her host family.
"I think it's going to be really fun, because this will be my first experience with the holiday, and my host family is planning to take me shopping for Black Friday, which I'd never even heard about before," Selcuk said. "So I'm really looking forward to that. And other than that, we'll just be coming together with the family, which is great, because it's exactly like in my own country when we come together with my family to celebrate. So it's definitely similar in that way, but otherwise it's going to be a totally different experience."
Checking in at Bethany Christian High School in Goshen, senior Ming Woo of South Korea said her home country does in fact have a harvest-centered holiday similar to Thanksgiving, though it takes place slightly earlier in the year than its United States counterpart.
"We don't call it Thanksgiving, but we have a similar tradition," Woo said. "We follow the lunar calendar for this holiday, so we have it in late September or early October. It's very, very similar to Thanksgiving, where all the families get together, eat meals together, and spend three or four days together. So it's just a big feast and family gathering. Over time it has kind of lost its original meaning, but it kind of originated as a celebration of the harvest season."
Having been in the United States for the past seven years, Woo said she has definitely had plenty of opportunities to experience the Thanksgiving holiday, and always looks forward to spending time with local friends and family.
"I really enjoy the food, and the games we play, and all the family members that come," Woo said. "So it's pretty cool."
This year's Thanksgiving holiday will be a first for Bethany Christian foreign exchange student Noelle Baumgartner, who says the idea of Thanksgiving is not something that is celebrated traditionally in her home country of Germany.
"You know, we actually don't really have a similar holiday in Germany," Baumgartner said. "The closest would probably be Christmas. That's a big one for us. And then right before Christmas we have Saint Nicholas Day, which is kind of like a pre-Christmas holiday. With Christmas, that's when everybody really gets together to eat meals and celebrate, but that's about as close as we get."
So what's she looking forward to most with her first Thanksgiving holiday?
"Probably the food," Baumgartner said with a laugh. "I'm really looking forward to it."

Thursday morning, almost every lawmaker on the Health Care Oversight committee peppered Health Access Commissioner Mark Larson about Vermont's bumpy transition into its health exchange. But earlier, the discussion centered around the state's next planned overhaul: the 2017 move to single-payer health care. A study released by the University of Massachusetts last year estimated the cost to be $1.6 billion.
"What we found, though, were a couple of assumptions that were valid at face point, but if you kind of started looking at them and pulling them apart a little bit it did make you stop and start to question things a little bit," said Eric Hammelman of Avalere Health.
Consultants independently hired by the state's hospitals examined the same question. They told legislators the cost is more likely to fall between $1.9 billion and $2.2 billion.
"Effectively there's two big assumptions there," Hammelman said.
The consultants from Avalere Health say projections for dollars saved by improving claim administration won't reach expectations because the state's providers have already made significant improvement, with a rate far below the national average. They also say the proposed care reimbursement rate may be set too low; raising it will mean higher taxpayer cost.
Vermont Director of Health Care Reform Robin Lunge quibbles with some of the new report's methodology, but says the higher figure wouldn't put a halt to reform.
"Even using their assumptions, it proves the point that Green Mountain Care is still an improvement over today's system, which we know is broken," Lunge said.
Officials say 3,400 of the 100,000 expected to enter the Vermont's exchange have selected a plan. But bugs are causing many to question if the state can pull off the single-payer experiment in just a few years.
Consultants also warned legislators that the state should expect Vermonters to use more health care if and when single-payer health care becomes a reality. That's because most are expected to purchase silver plans on the exchange, but Green Mountain Care coverage would be more similar to gold and platinum offerings.

Theatre group has a bright future after work was completed on an extension
12:00pm Saturday 11th January 2014 in News By Rebecca Creed
DOWN a narrow road in Manningtree you will find a former primary school.
Today, it has a new role - as the home of Manningtree's Manifest Theatre.
Amateur dramatics is becoming increasingly popular but an influx of clubs has seen small theatre companies fighting to survive.
However, at the Manifest Theatre things have never looked better.
Actress Val Taylor added: "It is amazing we have been open since 1985 and still people from Lawford, Mistley and Manningtree don't know we were there.
"The television programme Off The Beaten Track was good as it got us recognition from people who didn't realise there was a theatre here."

The Austin City Limits Music Festival this weekend was the scene for a rare photograph of renowned recluse Terrence Malick, who was spotted with Christian Bale and a camera crew by a handful of tech-savvy attendees who duly tweeted details and photos of their appearance. The duo are, of course, slated to reunite for a mysterious project that also has relative unknown Haley Bennett on board but we weren't expecting many updates on its development, at least until Bale completed production on Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight Rises."
The real reasons behind Malick and Bale's appearance at the Austin music festival is ultimately anyone's guess but the odd sighting recalls a story late last year, which reported that Malick was working on a Jerry Lee Lewis-related project with his "The Tree of Life" star Brad Pitt and Natalie Portman. Could the mysterious Bale/Bennett project simply be an updated iteration of the developing Lewis film?
Our previous story also uncovered that Malick had worked on "his own version of 'Great Balls of Fire,' " the 1989 biopic of the rock star that toplined Dennis Quaid and Winona Ryder, with his script described by producer Adam Fields as "much darker" than the finished film. We'd predicted that aspects of that script may very well feature in the Lewis project, with this appearance by Malick with Bale at ACL surely suggesting that -- if it's not in fact the mysterious project with Bale and Bennett -- a music-centric feature of some sort is on Malick's radar.
Despite reports of a camera crew being in tow, we're doubtful that any serious lensing took place here. It's more likely that the duo were simply doing some early prepping and researching, a practice not unusual for Malick and his lead thespians. Remember when Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were spotted by Bartlesville natives, preceding even Affleck's casting for the film? We're probably just as clueless on that film (which co-stars Javier Bardem, Olga Kurylenko, Barry Pepper, Rachel McAdams and Rachel Weisz) now as we were then, so it's doubtful we'll get answers about this project any time soon.
For more tweets and photos (including our headlining one) from ACL attendees of Malick and Bale's appearance, TheFilmStage have a fairly detailed summary that is worth a look. For the record as well, it looks like the duo's Friday schedule -- or at least, artists where the duo were visibly backstage for -- included Bright Eyes, Pretty Lights and Coldplay. Not a Yeezy fan between them then?

It's good to see Christian Bale doing more movies. We see too little of him.
Benjamin | September 17, 2011 4:23 AM
The only thing I've learned from this article is that Terrence Malick and Christian Bale listen to shitty music.
Still exciting.
carrie | September 17, 2011 3:14 AM
@buntyhoven: Malick is the director of 2nd unit for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES (LOL) it's Bruce Wayne backstage just Bane's invasion
buntyhoven | September 17, 2011 2:58 AM
Christian Bale is Chris Martin in Terrence Malick's "Yellow: The Coldplay Story".
But isn't Bale a bit old to be playing Lewis, considering that the major scandals and whatnot occurred in Lewis' early 20s?

Our faculty members take pride in the high quality of our program. They work closely with students in teaching and research laboratories. We strongly encourage our undergraduate students to participate in research with faculty members as early as the summer of their freshmen year. Research opportunities in the department are available for chemistry majors and minor.
|Remi Oki , the department head, We are interested in the synthesis of inorganic materials for bone repairs and bone tissue engineering, these bioactive glasses are able to bond to both bone and soft tissue and can stimulate bone growth. The poor mechanical properties of bioglass monoliths have limited their application to the reconstruction of non-stress bearing bones and we are interested in the synthesis by sol-gel techniques of 3-D macroporous hybrid materials incorporating inorganic bioglass (CaO-SiO2-ZnO) with a variety of organic phases.
Silane functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNT) for surface coatings and ceramics composite processing is another area of interest. The surface adhesion properties of CNTs can be improved through their sidewall functionalization. Our goal is to put appropriate functional groups on the surface of carbon nanotubes that will permit applications as coatings on metal surfaces, such as aluminum and steel by forming strong covalent bonds with the surface for targeted applications such as corrosion resistant, heat dissipation and hydrophobic coatings applications. In addition, we are interested in integrating functionalized carbon nanotubes in polymers to enhance functional properties
|Ananda Amarasekara
We are currently studying the dissolution and hydrolysis of cellulose and lignocellulosic biomass using Brönsted acid ionic liquids for the production of ethanol from non-food biomass resources. Metal ion catalyzed degradation of cellulose is another area of interest, and this involves the use of metal catalysts for hydrolysis of cellulose and selective dehydration to produce furan derivatives such as furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, which are sustainable monomers for the polymer industry. Furthermore, we are investigating the synthesis of next generation biodegradable polymeric materials from these renewable resources based furan derivatives.
|Vassant Doctor
Dr. Doctor's research group has recently prepared some highly active compounds from naturally sulfated polysaccharides by oversulfation, which are effective as anticoagulants and in enhancing the fibrinolytic process. These are being tested in vitro systems under physiological conditions using purified human blood proteins such as thrombin and plasminogen. The results are evaluated by comparing these with heparin, highly sulfated naturally occurring polysaccharide, which is widely used for treatment of cardiovascular problems.
|Hua-Jun Fan
Dr. Fan's research interests focus on applying computational chemistry method on understanding the fundamentals of chemical reactions and mechanisms. His research activities generally fall on (1) molecular model on protein and enzyme molecules, (2) reaction mechanism of organometallic and inorganic complexes, (3) Investigate the structure and electronic effects on explosive detection by modeling the terahertz spectra, particularly using the amplifying fluorescence polymer in detecting explosive materials, (4) Molecular simulation of peptides binding modes onto silica, (5) Study the electronic structure differences of various nanocomposite materials with the first principle approach, mainly the VASP software, (6) Design and identify the C-H bond activation catalysts through the reaction mechanism, kinetics and activation barrier investigation (7) Using computational modeling tools to investigate the kinetics and mechanisms of photocatalytic activities of hybrid metal-semiconductor heterostructures in order to improve the solar energy conversion
|Max Winshell A. Fontus's research focuses on using physical and chemical principles for the development of theoretical and computational model. I am particularly interested in the establishment of electrophysiological/metabolomic modeling as a self-consistent and calibration-free entity able to further the understanding of the structure and dynamics of physical and biological complexes.
I am also interested in the evolution of physical laws and principles from the complex and intricate interactions of atomic scale and nanoscale entities.
I am invested in designing and implementing a stand-alone computer simulation for a microbial fuel cell, which should help in the methodic and strategic advancement of this technology as a viable and sustainable source of alternative energy.
Finally, I am involved in STEM education from the K-12 levels and I have teamed up with some Education colleagues in a concerted effort to reduce the persistent STEM achievement gap in our K-12 schools between those from historically underprivileged and underrepresented groups, i.e. our Black and Brown students, and those from White and Asian groups. .
|Hylton McWhinney is interested in surface and interfacial characterizations as it relates to Environmental waste treatment, waste management and waste restoration, sensing and detection of toxic gases and hazardous bio-materials.
|Nathaniel Soboyejo
|John Williams is interested on computational chemistry and in the general application of technology in chemical research and teaching.
In addition, chemistry research opportunities and internships, and coops are also available to our majors outside PVAMU. For more information, contact any member of our faculty and visit the ACS site www.acs.org

Tiger Woods' illegal ball drop during the second round of the Masters remains Topic A in the golf world, and the victim of the unlucky shot and ensuing two-stroke penalty said he was surprised that the incident stoked heated discussion that shows no signs of losing steam.
"Yeah, actually I am, because I think Fred [Ridley, Masters competition committee chair] explained it pretty well," Woods told reporters Tuesday after a brief practice round ahead of this week's Players Championship. "For some reason, evidently, that wasn't accepted."
During Friday's play at Augusta, Woods hit his third shot to the green at the par-5 15th and the ball ricocheted off the flagstick into the water fronting the green. He then took his infamous drop, which could have resulted in a disqualification but ended up as a two-stroke penalty.
That incident, Tiger said, turned what could have resulted in his 15th major championship into a disappointing T4 finish, the aftermath of which nettled the world No. 1 for several days afterward.
"That one probably stayed for about a week, until I started back practicing again," Woods said. "When I was away from it, I was reflecting on obviously the things that I did right but also the things that I did wrong that week. And unfortunately I hit a good shot and got a bad break.
"But I still had an opportunity over the next 36 holes to get it back," Woods conceded, "and I sort of had my opportunities to do it and I just didn't do it."
Woods, in case you hadn't heard, tripped the light fantastic when he accompanied girlfriend Lindsey Vonn to the Met Gala in New York Monday night. The 77-time PGA Tour winner said he was more at ease in jeans and a t-shirt but he attended the glam affair to help his Olympics skier lady friend market a new perfume and makeup line.
"Lindsey wanted to try and grow her brand," Woods said, "so that was a big thing for her, and I'm supporting it."
Though observers have suggested he would never even consider showing up at such an event during the week of a major championship, Woods begged to differ.
"I've gone to the Golf Writers' dinner in Augusta," he quipped, referring to the annual sit-down chat-and-chew that occurs on the eve of the Masters and at which the scribblers' choices for PGA and LPGA players of the year make brief appearances.

Northbound lanes of State Line Road closed at Meadow Lake Parkway
The northbound lanes of State Line Road are closed at Meadow Lake Parkway due to a 12-inch water main break. Traffic can go east on Meadow Lake Parkway to Ward Parkway or west on Cambridge Street.
A water main break damaged the road requiring the lanes to be closed for repairs. The water main was repaired today, Sunday. A temporary northbound lane is expected to be provided on Monday. It anticipated that State Line will be fully open later in the week.
"Unfortunately, the number of water main breaks continues at a record setting pace with 230 so far this month. The 2011 annual total will be the highest in at the last 14 years. Water Services' crews and its contractors continue to make repairs and restorations, but responses are taking longer because of the extremely high number of breaks" said Acting Director Terry Leeds. "Water main breaks are prioritized with the water outage cases and property damage cases being repaired first."
For more information, contact Colleen Doctorian, public information officer for the Water Services Department at (816) 513-0232.

I could feel them being soo nervous. I think those "Glasto is so important" thing just put too much pressure on them. They were not at home on this stage and did not feel at all comfortable, trying to win the crowd over again and again. Those mistake during UATW proves that, I think. At Rock am Ring they enjoyed themselves and rocked the place, at Glasto they were kinda stiff. At least I felt that. The show was great, nevertheless. I liked fireworks and lasers, and walking man learned a couple of new moves (or I just didn't notice them earlier?). Clocks, GPASUYF, Viva and Charlie Brown were awesome, loved the whole set.
That was really good. It showed real class and showed them all back at top form in their home turf. Absolutely adore that it was a good mix of all eras (except X&Y because well, that was a figment of our imagination *bitter about it*) and that even the new songs went down with quite a decent crowd and viewer reaction (Charlie Brown was trending after being played with a generally positive reception). Chris was just Chris as per normal. Absolutely adorable and so abashed all the time. Oh and messing up, could that be any more endearing (obviously not)? This definitely brings back out the Coldplayer dominant side in me, and I can't wait for the album and the successive tour. And just because this was such a brilliant performance, even ETIAW didn't grate on me as much as it normally would.
What an outstanding, perfect performace. Everything in their live performances that I love they did. The perfect end to Shiver, the "Jonny Boy" before the riff in Major Minus, the crowd and ascension at the end of "Everything's Not Lost". The older songs they played from Parachutes were stunning; the setlist was perfect. The stage itself looked fantastic. It was mind blowing. Epic. Coldplay are back.
[Don't Shiver]
[After the concert] Chris looked exhausted as well as having a sore throat. Basically just said they were humbled and thanks to everyone for watching. Talked a bit about the light show at the end and how Glasto is their second home, but in general they just looked knackered. Understandable really - he really throws himself around on stage and bounces into the next track right after the last one finishes.
[After the concert] they were talking about that they have a few gigs left in amazing places , that they were nervous and now celebrating ... chris was drinking a beer ! He said he asked Bono to talk to god about arranging good weather. And that they'll be finishing the album this summer after the gigs!
I loved the show so much! I loved that they played Shiver and Everything's not Lost! Very nice touch to play those songs again on Glasto after not having played them for so long, and especially Shiver's been requested so much, and I don't know how long ago it was that they played it in full, with drums etc. So that was great! And I thought this was one of the best performances of Fix You I've seen, Chris just really hit the notes so well! Wow, that was awesome. And the light-show was crazy (and HLH is really so much better when it's dark, because I loved the lasers and fireworks, and at Pinkpop it was light at the start so that took away a lot of the magic unfortunately). And I'm happy they didn't play Trouble, just because it feels more special now that they played it on Pinkpop.
You know I really liked Every Teardrop for once. Maybe it was the 60,000 strong crowd cheeringi n unison or the multicoloured lit Pyramid Stage but somehow they made it work for me! 10/10. Face palmed when Chris fucked up Us Against The World but looking back it seems very down to earth and human! U2 last night were epic and sub human...almost alien like because they were so out of this world BUT Coldplay were epic but incredibly human and modest. What a wonderful show.
That crowd was outstanding! The performance was NOT flawless as someone said earlier - especially the beginning was shaky and unfocused. It seemed to me like the boys aren't comfortable with Hurts Like Heaven yet - that opener did not work at all. But from there it only got better and more awesome and undescribably fantastic - a firework of highlights in almost every song. Nice setlist, although I would've loved one more song from the VLV era - like LiTii or Yes... Loved to hear Shiver again and GPASUYF in that great version! And I actually do like ETIAW now after first I was a little pessimistic. But that live version was a kicker and a powerful ending of an unforgettable performance. Oh, which Glasto was best? I'd say 2011>2002>2005 but only because 2002 was sooo special and important for the development of the band!
I think it was a really good performance but the crowd was shitty at some moments (Everything's Not Lost deserved WAY MUCH singalong that it had), so based on that and the fact that they closed with a, in my opinion, weak song, I choosed the 2005 show. Still, one of my favorite Coldplay show's ever. And we finally got an old stuff/new stuff balanced setlist!
Not only was it their best Glasto in my opinion, but one of their best live performances ever. A truly fantastic setlist of old and new, a flawless execution, and a happiness and energy that was awesome. They were just on top of their game from start to finish.
Watch on TV and I thought it was a stellar performance. I know some think that Chris seemed stiff & nervous but I thought he was just toning down the goofiness. I don't need him rattling on about some craziness (as entertaining as that can sometimes be, I think it feeds the haters). He kept the jumping and trashing around at a respectable pace so that his voice didn't suffer. He only asked how everyone was doing 10 times instead of his usual 50. All in all, I think this venue is really important to them and they treated it as such. To me, they looked like a band that knew the world was watching and they had something to prove.
Not to be overly critical, but I was jugely dissapointed by the performance. The setlist was choppy, and not well thought out. I hate that they played nothing from X&Y except fix you. They were really uncomfortable and visibly so throughout the entire performence. In essence, there were enough bad vibes to run a hoodoo factory, which completely ruined the whole experience for me.
I was excited all day to watch this online. I was planning as far back as last year to go to Glasto, but money interfered and prevented me from making the trek. So I figured watching with my sound system cranked was the next best thing. Yes, they did look nervous. However from Politik on they killed it. Today I fell back in love with Coldplay. I was enjoying it, then my favourite song Politik came on, and the notes Jonny added to the solo were, AMAZING. They woke the crowd up with Viva La Vida, and Charlie Brown has already become a classic. Watching this I acted like I was there, dancing and singing my lungs out. It brought back so many good memories of the Coldplay shows I've been to. Festivals are notorious for being plagued with technical problems, its to be expected with so many different bands setting up into the same sound board in such short a time, as well as no real soundchecks. Coldplay has asserted themselves as the big band of our time, and with U2 fading off into irrelevance, they are poised to become the biggest band in the world, this show, the new album and tour will either cement that, or keep Coldplay on the top of tier two in the music world. Much can be made of them not including a U2 cover, Im sure they mulled over it for quite awhile. They are huge fans, but they decided to do what they knew and not what was expected. I did think Jay-Z would come out for his verse in Lost! but they likely wanted it to be about them and their show. Jay would have been freaking cool but would have taken away from the overall specialness of the night! U2 covering Coldplay shows that they acknowledge that they are huge and the new kids in town. It was Bono showing mutual respect, we all already know Chris respects them, no need to pet their egos.
I watched it on HD last night and I must say it was like being there! I only wish I had some Coldplayers around to sing and dance with GPASUYF gave me chills, they rocked that song hard, and Mr. Champion has never hit those drums as hard before IMO. Personally, I didn't think they looked nervous, they had this show in the back of their pockets, pulling 19 songs out, 1 by 1, and giving it 100%. This show was pure to the core!!!!
Just finished watching the concert on Palladia.And I got to say that watching it in hd I felt like I was there!!Amazing concert!!I watched the stream earlier and it just wasnt the same as watching it in hd.They were full of energy and the setlist was perfect!!I liked that Jay-Z,Beyonce,Gwyn,and Simon all looked like they were enjoying like they were just fans dancing around.The boys were great!!Love me some Coldplay!!
2011 was the better performance. they have never been better, never been brigther, never been bigger than they were saturday night. it announced the band as the biggest in the world, but many already were aware of that. i think 2002 was a bigger for the band's career. to headline glastonbury and to play a majority of your, to that point, unreleased 2nd album is amazing. think of where they were at that point. think of how nervous they must have been before that show. and think of how they had the crowd won over before the bridge of politik, the show's opener. truly incredible. it changed the trajectory of the band, or rather, announced to the world exactly where this band was headed. suffice it to say, both shows were massive. these boys are special.
By late evening I was ready to relax, and turned on BBC2 to see Coldplay at Glastonbury. I've listened to Coldplay more than any other band in the first decade of this century. I wasn't disappointed last night - they were on top form, serving up all the favourites, mixed with new songs from their forthcoming album. Particularly wonderful was their sequence of three encores. "Clocks" got 'em going, then they moved into their anthem "Fix You" and finally a new song "Every Teardrop a Waterfall". Fantastic - and I couldn't help noticing the parallels with religious occasions like pilgrimages. Crowds with a common purpose, music full of feeling, an overwhelming sense of community. Chris Martin even repented at one point of having just made a mistake. I love many kinds of music - always have. This was sheer enjoyment for the thousands and thousands who were there - and for me. Fr M approves.
Media Reviews
"Everyone's pretending they're not that fussed, but you know that field is going to be packed",the wise words of a stall owner who I chatted to on Thursday afternoon at Glastonbury that really summed up the mood leading up to Coldplay's Saturday night headline set. Rarely were people admitting to having Coldplay at the top of their "Must See List" for the weekend, but you just knew that come Saturday evening the Pyramid Stage crowd was going to be packed and excited for the arrival of Britain's biggest musical export of the last decade. Amid the excitement of a rare festival appearance for U2 and a vaguely controversial choice in Beyoncé you could almost say that Coldplay's return to headline Glastonbury for the 3rd time had gone a little under the radar in comparison. Maybe with it being their 3rd headline set in 9 years it would be fair to argue that there was less of a sense of occasion surrounding Coldplay's set. To top all of this off Elbow just 45 minutes before they arrived on stage played the show of their lives and one of most memorable sets of the weekend, a hard act to follow?
One thing they confirmed within seconds of taking to the stage is that they were not there to play it safe, opening with new (and as yet unreleased) track "Hurts Like Heaven" from their forthcoming new album. Further unreleased new tracks got an outing throughout the evening including the fantastic "Major Minus" and "Charlie Brown", Chris Martin gave the crowd a brief apology for playing some new ones before adding "One day they might be your favourites". After fireworks and an unknown new song to open Coldplay induced mass sing-alongs with the more familiar "Yellow" and "In My Place", the latter accompanied by confetti raining from the rafters of the pyramid stage. A rare outing of early single "Shiver" as well as an even rarer outing for Parachutes album track "Everything is Not Lost" contributed to making the evening feel very special.
Chris Martin looked comfortable on the Pyramid Stage (no surprise there really!) and the crowd were engaged and singing every word back, the atmosphere was very much in stark contrast to the slightly flat headline set of U2 the previous night. The night's biggest moments however came courtesy of Coldplay's massive singles, "The Scientist", "Clocks" and "Fix You" were all delivered in all their anthemic glory and 2008's "Viva La Vida" was one of the highlights of the entire festival. If there was one glaring fault in the night's set list, then finishing on new single "Every Tear is a Waterfall" was it, not the strongest of their songs (and looking back at the new songs they aired, not the strongest track their new album will have to offer) and it finished the evening on a rather less elated note.
So after almost flying in under the radar Coldplay went from being an unexciting prospect, taken for granted, to a highlight of the weekend. Big singles, rare tracks along with fireworks, lights and confetti in tasteful measures won the day for Chris Martin and co. Even the new songs went down a treat, and most importantly everyone in front of the Pyramid stage had the time of their lives. [5.0/5.0]
Playing the new material from their forthcoming fifth studio album, including 'Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall', Coldplay's third go as headliners at Worthy Farm seemed to be a test for Chris Martin and co, writes the NME with a review of 9/10. With a set that included the big guns 'Yellow' and 'In My Place', as well as most fans' first chance to hear the new tracks live, they pulled off a great Saturday night headline set. And it was done without too much Chris Martin cheese.
Best bit: 'Yellow'. At Glastonbury. Just brilliant. Low point: The lager-spilling, cigarette-burn-enducing, loud-mouthing idiots that we were stood next to for most of it. Banter: Chris Martin: "Beautiful, wonderful Glastonbury, thank you for having us, we're glad the sun came out for you and you stuck around to see us." Verdict: Emily Eavis said that Chris Martin would "do anything for Glastonbury" after he convinced Beyonce to play Worthy Farm this year - and you could see how much the festival means to the band during their live show. A great set of the classics and some of the new tracks, and not too many Chris Martin cheese moments/air punching/odd marching band outfits. Even the doubters seemed to enjoy it.
It's not easy being the boy band U2 when the real thing played the night before, writes the Guardian (who gave 4/5 stars for last night's performance). Guitarist Jonny Buckland got his apologies in early, telling the NME last week: "We hope U2 do a B-sides set with no lights". Before they walked onto the Pyramid stage, Coldplay were Glastonbury 2011's forgotten headliners. U2's mere presence on Friday generated intense debate and booking Beyoncé for Sunday night induced squeaks of delight. Yet a band whose last album, Viva La Vida, sold almost 7 million copies in 2008 somehow slipped into the background.
But that level of success is no fluke. Coldplay are a light, bright pop act, specialists in the kind of non-specific, one size fits all emotion that plays well in front of the Pyramid stage. Crucially, they're also on home turf, this being their third headline appearance in nine years. It doesn't hold the same fear for them that it did for four men from Dublin.
So after the symphonic intro music and fireworks, no one cares that the opener, new track Hurts Like Heaven, is basically a Walt Disney version of Arcade Fire's Keep the Car Running. Besides, it's only there to kill time until the audience have made it through the bog. What follows sets the mood properly, with shameless crowd-pleaser Yellow followed by In my Place and not long after, Scientist. It works, too. In the end they needn't have been quite so modest. Sure, they benefited from facing an audience who'd spent an afternoon in the sun, and who were still on a high from a spectacular Elbow performance, but they're also a kinder, more welcoming proposition than U2. So it didn't matter that they needed two shots at new song Us Against the World, or that it was a bit sappy. As with their earlier European festival performances, the whirling Charlie Brown was the standout new song, a definite advance on the still forgettable Every Teardrop is a Waterfall, even if the lyrics were guff about "running wild" and "glowing in the dark."
And despite front-loading the set, they kept plenty in reserve, Viva La Vida winning the prize for most joyous sing-a-long, at least until Clocks kicked off the encore. A victory that few predicted. Who knew a band this big could sneak up on people?
In this year's battle of the Glastonbury headliners, the old guard vs newcomers roles were reversed, writes Spinner on the third headline performance. U2 may be the elder statesmen of communal stadium rock, but they were wet behind the ears new boys when it came to headlining Worthy Farm. Coldplay, one of many bands in U2s stadium wake were the band to be contended with here. On Saturday night they took to the Pyramid Stage as headliners for the third time. Chris Martin and co.'s strong relationship with the festival started in 1999 -- they only headlined in 2002 after they agreed to play the local village fete the year before to help festival organiser Michael Eavis out of a tight spot. So you could have been forgiven for thinking headlining wouldn't have given them too many butterflies in the stomach, but then there was the spectre of U2's bloody-minded debut the night before; fierce, and with something to prove.
With fireworks wrupting at their entrance, Coldplay alunched into new song 'MX,' a song that bears more than a little of the urgent DNA of Arcade Fire. The start was a mix of old and new, with 'Yellow' rubbing shoulders with another new cut, 'Major Minor' and 'Lost!' and 'The Scientist' leading to a particularly grungey but splendid 'Shiver,' with Martin saying at the end, "That was the first song we ever played at Glastonbury." Maybe Coldplay had been taking some notes from U2 in how to suff up their back catalogue. 'Politik', too, was particularly loose-limbed and lusty. The question everyone was asking beforehand was would Martin's mate Jay-Z make it to the stage. After all, his missus Beyoncé is playing Sunday. TV footage showed them singing along to 'Viva La Vida' in the pit. That's one thing U2 didn't seem to have...
Coldplay are sometime half-jokingly referred to as the Pyramid Stage House Band. After a night which cemented their special place around the Glastonbury table, expect another Eavis invite soon.
Coldplay are to festivals what Michael Eavis is to beards, says The Sun reviewing a red hot performance. The cynics can say what they like - Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland, Will Champion and Guy Berryman belong at the top of the bill on the Pyramid Stage. They know how to do it - a nod to Jay-Z before they come on with 99 Problems blaring out, some fireworks, a new song then BANG... Yellow. The band have rehearsed like demons to be ready for the gig. And it showed. They are always tight live, but this was special. The paper butterflies blew into the crowd during In My Place - with over 100k in tthe audience in full voice. It was beautiful. Chris said: "Forgive us for playing some new songs. One day they will be your favourites."
The new songs fiitted in seamlessly, but the big hits sent Worthy Farm into orbit. U2 might have 30 years experience - but there is no doubt their natural suitor is already in place. Chris said: "Thank you for giving us the best job in the world." Not a problem.

The Oracle on 25 June 2011: Glastonbury festival, Worthy Farm, Pilton, UK
December 19, 2012 - submitted by Sessions, Japan
Q. Hey there.
I googled & found this setlist at last night.
1. Is this real Glastonbury setlist for crew or members?
2. Who's Des Fallon??
The Oracle replies:
Yes, that is an official set list for crew from last year's Glastonbury.
Des was a much-loved live concert video director who had worked with the band - he sadly died.
I didn't know him myself but everyone I know who did, loved him and were deeply saddened.
The crew decided to end Glastonbury with a projection of Des inside the pyramid.
There is now The Des Fallon Video Visionary Award as part of the TPi Awards which is a fitting tribute to the man.

Q. Hi Mr Oracle
My question is a simple one but I hope you can answer it. I'm taking my exams and they finish on the 23rd of June Coldplay then play at Glastonbury fest on the 25th which means I can stay up and watch it and enjoy awesome show which I'm sure they will give us so to make sure it's an awesome show I want to know if Coldplay might perform any new tracks from the up and coming album? All I would like is a yes or no answer really just to build the tension we don't want to give the game now do we?
Thank you.

Q. Did Phil Harvey, the fifth member of Coldplay, post this picture in the exhibition room?
The Oracle replies:
A few people have asked if was our Phil and yes he did indeed take and submit that photograph. Just to give you a little more information... On Saturday Phil posted the picture on Twitter with the caption "where me and Chris went climbing today".
The more eagle-eyed of you may have worked out from it they were in fact at Worthy Farm, the site of Glastonbury music festival; hence the name of the photo being Fields of Avalon.

I know that most of you guys are thinking, "Man this fight makes no sense, give it a rest Cshel". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Seriously though, at this point, Pac has lost his last two outings, and so has Cotto. Unfortunately, the fashion in which Manny just lost, may have given Cotto a bit of wiggle room, if they so decide to negotiate again.
This time though, Manny would have to take the 154 lb limit. Yeah I know, Manny's still the bigger draw of the two, but shit, if Marquez doesn't give him a chance, then a Cotto rematch will still be a decent money maker. The undercard or at least the co-feature bout would have to be worth the buy.
If Marquez doesn't budge when it comes to a 5th fight, then what's left for Manny? Rios?! Bradley rematch?! Yeah, had he beaten JMM, then ppl would want to see him punish Tim, but he happened to get knocked out by JMM, so that isn't truly a safe fight anymore.
What if Miguel decides to take less money this time, in exchange for Manny agreeing with the true 154 lb weight limit? Miguel has an Alvarez fight dangling over his head, depending on how May 4th goes. Other than that, there's not much left out there for him...maybe an Ortiz fight, which is easy to make, and will draw a bit of money.
What do you guys think?

This fight would be interesting for me only because of the fact Pac would be going out of that KTFO loss. Other than that, I think styles make fights in this one..Pac would do the same he did last time imo. Cotto would probably be more game, but it wouldn't be enough. Personally, I first need to see Pac in a tune-up to see if hes back or not.

Dont know if many of you have seen DeGale but i really dont see anything special, i mean yeah he won a gold medal but Groves gave him more than he could handle and so handed him his first loss, i truly think its a matter of time before he gets exposed by a true super-middleweight, he's asking for a title shot next year but the title holders at 168 are way too big of an ask for him and i think he should just stay fighting his journeymen opponents and grovel to get a rematch with 'Ugly boy' as he says

I don't think DeGale's lacking substance. He's only 15 fights into his career, so the current level of opposition is generally commensurate. Technically he's solid. My main critique is what cost him the Groves' match i.e. periodic lack of activity during the bout (I thought DeGale just eked that one out). He also needs to work on his finishing and a bit more movement.
As far as him saying that he can face Froch next year, or 2014, why not? Even if he loses, which is the more likely outcome, he's still young enough that he can learn from it. I wasn't surprised to read some of the negative responses to him mentioning Froch, but how else is a young, clearly talented, boxer supposed to find out his true capabilities?
So if he faces a top super mw next year, the odds are definitely against him, but if he wants to test himself, then nice one 'Chunky.'
I thought he won the groves fight to. But I don't think he's over hyped, good talent, nice style. He's got less then twenty fights and he can box. He has quite an ego tho which is what I think what turns people off from him (which is weird because Europeans usually eat that shit up and he isn't even really liked where he's from).
