Theater Review: Have we lost our French heritage?Jim Lowe / Staff photo
Abby Paige attempts to make her mothers tourtiere in Piecework: When We Were French.MONTPELIER There was a time, not so long ago, that the French language was heard regularly around central Vermont. Abby Paige celebrates that heritage in her entertaining and revealing one-woman show, Piecework: When We Were French, part of Lost Nation Theaters Winterfest 2013.
Opening and closing the show as the housekeeper at the rectory of St. Josephs felt just so authentic for those of us who grew up in Montpelier when it was half Catholic (French and Irish, with a smattering of Italian and Spanish). Paiges banter as the veteran housekeeper aroused so many memories of the areas ethnic-laden past most authentically.
Created in 2009 for Burlingtons Lake Champlain 400 festival and first presented by Lost Nation, this 70-minute series of vignettes celebrates Vermonts deep French heritage with both sadness and humor. Thursdays performance at City Hall Arts Center, though not hugely different from 2010, proved more cohesive and compelling.
In short the show is celebratory, entertaining and deeply touching.
Paige, a veteran actress, uses her own life as a jumping-off point. Burlington-bred in a French-Canadian family she had virtually lost touch with her French heritage, unable to speak the language save for some high school efforts. She decided to do something about it this show.
The vignettes range from the aforementioned housekeeper to a teen girl to a schoolteacher to a woman valiantly attempting to make her mothers tourtiere, a delicious French-Canadian meat pie. Interspersed, adding authenticity, were bits of recordings from Paiges many interviews with French-Canadians.
The teen girl proved most entertaining as well as illuminating as she explained her feelings about her somewhat illusive French heritage. Her priceless descriptions of family trips to Quebec painted a beautiful and authentic picture of the joys of rural French-Canadian life. And it was funny.
Not so funny was the discrimination the French settlers found when moving to Vermont for the innocent reason of supporting their families. This was effectively related by a schoolteacher who also showed how the French arrived earlier than the English and were not truly colonizers.
All this sounds as if this one-woman show was academic, but it was anything but. It was an affectionate portrait of a now-dying culture that was once a huge part of Vermont life. And it was also terribly funny.
One particularly telling moment was when it was pointed out that American French teachers looking down on Canadian French was telling an entire country that it spoke its own language wrong.MORE IN Vermont NewsWASHINGTON Vermont Sen.

Here is a very helpful extract from an Indian newspaper, Outlook India, which explains the fundamental importance of the Indian physicist Satyendranath Bose for the Higgs Boson:
"Given all the recent global newspaper headlines about the 'God particle', it's interesting to look at its Indian connection—and at Satyendranath Bose, the legendary Indian physicist. For the 'God particle', of course, tis more correctly called the Higgs boson. And the boson itself happens to be named after Bose, for his work on "Bose-Einstein statistics", which defines the boson's behaviour. Serious physicists scoff that this connection is tenuous and naive, but there does seem to be a connection.
Bose was one of the great physicists of our time, and his name is clubbed together with Einstein, Niels Bohr and Max Planck. Many scientists express surprise that he never won a Nobel Prize for his work, especially since various other later physicists won a Nobel for work on concepts that had been pioneered by him. And, as some would ask, if Enrico Fermi (after whom the fermion was named) could win a Nobel, why didn't Bose (after whom the boson was obviously named) do so?.
In 1924, Bose—then only 30 years old—sent a paper to Albert Einstein, titled Planck's Law and the Light Quantum Hypothesis, which had been turned down by an English scientific publication. Einstein was deluged with mail, but Bose's paper caught his attention. Realising its importance, Einstein himself translated it into German, and submitted it to the prestigious Zeitschrift fur Physik, with a note saying, with obvious understatement, "Bose's derivation of Planck's formula appears to me an important step forward". Bose's work was acknowledged as a breakthrough in quantum physics, and Einstein himself was sufficiently influenced by it to work on a series of papers on what he termed 'Bose statistics'. As a result, Bose became a celebrity worldwide. He spent two years in Europe, rubbing shoulders—and ideas—with greats like Einstein, Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg and Erwin Schrodinger. Bose's name, interestingly, figures in Einstein's biography, Subtle is the Lord, which notes, "The paper by Bose is the fourth and last of the revolutionary papers of the old quantum theory (the other three being by, respectively, Planck, Einstein, and Bohr)." An elite quartet, indeed.
Somehow, however, Bose has acquired the reputation of being a genius who didn't work hard enough to make full use of his talents. Perhaps it was because he was known to be happiest in front of a blackboard with his students (which was why he wrote so few papers in his prime). Or perhaps it was his typical Bengali love of 'adda', which he and his group of friends perfected to a fine art, discussing everything under the sun, from physics to economics, politics and musicology, over endless cups of 'cha'. Perhaps it was because he was such a diffident person (when he wanted to work with Marie Curie in Paris, for example, she informed him he needed to first learn French; he was too shy to tell her that he spoke French, as well as German, fluently).
Or perhaps it was simply because of his overly casual exterior. When Nobel laureate Paul Dirac visited Calcutta, for example, Bose was driving him around and insisted on piling some of his students into the car as well. When Dirac irritatedly hinted that the car was getting too crowded, Bose laughed, "Oh, we believe in Bose statistics here, Paul!"—a witty reference to the fact that in Bose statistics things tend to crowd together. There is also, it must be said, a group of scientists who believe that Einstein let Bose down: if he had helped Bose get his brilliant second paper published, they allege, he'd have almost certainly won the Nobel."
The Outlook India article I quoted on Bose can be found at this link:
If you can joke as Bose did with Paul Dirac about a fundamental discovery in physics named after you that is greatness indeed.
Mhmm. Thank you for the history lesson. Let's rehash every great scientist and mathematician every time we make a discovery from Pythagoras right up to whoever's discovery we are talking about. That seems to be the most efficient way to celebrate a great achievement
Naturally is quite impossible to popularize Physics in one article.
Why not mark this accomplishment by writing an organized series of postings explaining the Standard Theory in "Babbage"?
You could write them and then post them intermittently and if they are as well organized as most briefings at TE are, they could be reference material for the general public.
Scientists believe that they are around 48% sure that the Higgs Boson may or may not exist, or something in between...
They are 99.999994% sure, which, btw is way better at their job than any other field. In fact they know exactly how sure they are. That's pretty God Dam n impressive.
Oh, and any level of 'sureness' in any field is fully subject to physics' own consistency, so, as far as your comment is concerned, Physics is fundamentally the most sure and accurate possible field in all of Human knowledge, since it underwrites everything we know.
What is the most expensive material in the world?
It may be the Higgs Boson. Assume the Hadron Collider produced 100 Higgs Boson(HB) events. Multiply this by their mass value. This is the total HB production. It is much less than a microgram, but let's assume they got lucky.
Assume the cost of these bosons required an $11 billion dollar custom facility built in Switzerland.
Divide $11 billion dollars by 0.001 grams.
And the cost of the material by weight is over a billion times the value of gold!
Throwing 1000 gold bullion bars into the deepest ocean...that is a cheap date at CERN.
They just discovered the most expensive element in the universe!
And ironically even your shallow breath has a gigantonormous number of Higgs Bosons--but no one will pay you for it.
Higgs Bosons are the most the world's most expensive luxury that ironically can be found in common dirt.
Get rich quick scheme: Sell Higgs Bosons to CERN.
Just in the US, people spent 51bn on their pets last year.
That´s 463% more. Plus the LHC was built over several years.
It is safe to assume that by adding a 4% tax on your pet expenses, you are buying the key to unlock the mysteries of the universe.
Seems like a good deal to me.
If you like fast computers and want boring human work to be automated, then you will appreciate the particle physics and quantum mechanics that go into modern CPUs, graphics chips, solid state memory, RAM, communications, etc.
Not to mention solar cells, the possibility of nuclear fusion, the possibility of more & better superconductors (think cheap load balancing on the grid; think access to cheaper energy sources), implications for understanding & improving chemical processes, etc.
Science & technology raise the production possibility frontier and make us all richer. Maybe we need a tax on the hoarding of gold bullion to fund more science and make a contribution to the trajectory of output in the real economy.
I agree: Spend a billion dollars and help at least one deformed, abused, malnourished crying puppy become fed, well and happy.
But I guarantee you, no single puppy was fed after spending $11 billion at CERN.
This project will not feed a hungry baby, pay a month of rent for a widow, or cure an acute gout attack.
I do not see a single useful application...at least give a dog a bone.
That's the point - you don't see it. Because basic research is the firs step - the applications come later. Colliders gave us supercomputers (Which now are in every phone), fast memory, solid state memory, MRI scanns, WWW, grid computing, and many more technologies. We cannot predict future, but we can invest to discover it faster.
Oh, don't forget the $100s of Billions wasted on a worthless war in Iraq for big oil which will never benefit the taxpayer.
Of course the ~ 5,000 lives lost don't count.
Incidently I am a Vietnam Vet, another worthless war.
The benefits from the CERN will be seen some day.
"Incidently I am a Vietnam Vet, another worthless war."
The only worthwhile thing of all those worthless wars is the widening perspective of the minds that survived them.
Hi Shaun.
Yes, it´s such a clear-cut issue that to dispute it one would have to be in favor of blogging via smoke signals.
Peter Higgs is a refreshing hero for science - after an era - post-DNA - when entrepreneurial media-savvy self-promoters ruled the game (beginning with James Watson of DNA fame), the beautiful character-ethic of Einstein was forgotten - that he placed science ahead of himself, and was uncomfortable with fame.
Hopefully the rise of Higgs (the man and the particle) will usher in a new era of dedicated modesty in modern science.
We live in a democratic, capitalistic society. Have you forgotten that? If it wasn't for those media savvy scientists we would have none of the modern technology that science has given us. It is considered a virtue, not a character flaw in physics to be able to communicate the complicated, deep and exclusive theories of physics to the public. These people are far more valuable than you think. Without them there would be no research budgets.
Btw, Einstein was far more politically and media savvy than you are giving him credit for.
I don't completely disagree - but I suspect we are at crossed purposes.
Media-savvy scientists can deliberately obfuscate (in my experience) in order to preserve their gilded empires and hide their logical failings; it is far less savvy, in self interested terms, to communicate simply and clearly, even tho it is to the benefit of science, funding etc etc
I too support a capitalist, liberal and democratic society - but accepting this is to accept the inevitability of human flaws such as greed and ambition. Sometimes these latter two are to the cost of more general progress, this is an accepted and lamentable flaw in capitalism - even though it is the best economic system we have yet found. A character ethic is still compatible, I think and I hope, with this system in any walk of life.
This article reflects a new low for the Economist. Pure gibberish! How can the reporter believe that a mortal can understand such a non sense. Look at this para:The model comprises 17 particles. Of these, 12 are fermions such as quarks (which coalesce into neutrons and protons in atomic nuclei) and electrons (which whizz around those nuclei). They make up matter. A further four particles, known as gauge bosons, transmit forces and so allow fermions to interact: photons convey electromagnetism, which holds electrons in orbit around atoms; gluons link quarks into protons and neutrons via the strong nuclear force; W and Z bosons carry the weak nuclear force, which is responsible for certain types of radioactive decay. And then there is the Higgs.
Thanks for your Google search. Not much on the Higgs boson. Keep searching.
Economists say: SHOW ME THE MONEY.
Those are fancy 50-cent words.
I see a lot of hand waving. And boastful certainty.
What ever happened to the Heisenburg Uncertainty Principle?
And these concepts have zero practical applicability.
And the names sound like Lewis Carroll rabbit hole nonsense.
And fierce arguments over Nothingness.
Despite spending $11 Billion and 40 years, no particle physicist can create a single atom. At this rate within 1000 years they will conceive a cup of water.
Hold a handful of Higgs Bosons with one hand. And use the other hand to create the applause of one hand clapping.
With a Higgs Boson and $2.98, you can buy a coffee at Starbucks.
--And you can keep the Higgs Boson.
You are insulting yourself. Just because you are unable to understand it doesn't make it gibberish much less unworthy of a news article. The importance of the this discovery cannot be understated and the importance of the absence of US involvement, the supposed world leader in all things important, cannot be understated either.
I didn't understand all of it, but it was great fun to read and I lapped it up. There is enormous variety in readership as there is in the universe.
I never had you down as a Luddite.
Discovery of the electron laid the foundations for most of the tools you use for enjoying life.
Discovery of the photon and underpinings of electromagnitism laid the foundation for modern communications technology - and offers far higher communication bandwidths, optical computing for massive acceleration of single thread deterministic computing processes and solar power (amongst much else).
Quantum mechanics is the basis of modern CPUs, graphics chips, etc - and is also crucial for nuclear power (both the 1970s technology and nuclear fusion if we ever seriously invest in developing it). If/ when we succeed in building a large scale quantum computer, we'll enjoy a massive acceleration of NP-hard computing processes.
Bosons - in particular those responsible for carrying forces - have enormous potential for carrying information, processing information, communications, manipulation of matter, etc. Not to mention the implications for chemistry, materials science and nuclear science (structures, robotics, manufacturing, energy & waste processing).
Do you really believe, despite the ubiquitous commercial application of every previous discovery in particle physics, that the latest discoveries will fail to find use?
I am a PRAGMATIST.
As the Euro Area declines into Depression, can we afford an underground mountain fortress in Switzerland that is the most expensive building every created?
And it cannot house one homeless Greek, feed a single child, or help the average person lose a few unwanted pounds.
The Hadron Collider is more massive than the Pyramids of Giza, involved more calculations than the Acropolis and used more logistics than the Great Wall of China..... but it lacks the tourism potential.
I see its future as survivalist underground bomb shelter for a post apocalyptic utopia. Mad and Absurd. But the Swiss prepare for contingencies. The whole nation can fit in there.
Time, Money and Resources are NOT UNLIMITED.
It is all about TRADEOFFS....where could we have spent $11 billion dollars more productively?
I can think of a million better possibilities.
The EU, Norway and Switzerland have a joint GDP of 13.3 trillion euros. 11 billion euros for CERN is just 0.083% of GDP.
Over 10 years (and we're the project life is actually more than 10 years) we're talking about 0.0083% of GDP.
And that tiny investment will (in time) radically improve our economic trajectory as it results in new processes and products.
Europe has no shortage of food or housing, and our children go to good schools. Yet investment in R&D is the basis of rising living standards.
I would claim the opposite of what you assert - we would have better material living standards over our lifetimes (at least for young people like me) if we were to invest radically more in R&D (I would propose raising retirement ages and cutting military spending to fund it).
(Incidentally, CERN is a tourist attraction - it receives over half a million visitors every year. Clearly, it really does provide an inspiration to young people interested in maths, sciences & engineering.)
I find US absence intriguing from such a huge experiment of discovery. It almost seems like the US is losing is drive for discovery. I might be reading into it bit much, I'm sure there are American scientists working on the LHC.
But, it certainly is quite interesting that the Europeans are the ones pushing these discoveries 500 years on from the Renaissance.
Einstein, The Curies (mostly Marie), Niels Bohr, Max Planck and many other Europeans pushed and discovered all sorts of weird and wonderful things in quantum physics and radioactivity and had a really good look at what happens on the sub-atomic level of matter. And America looked at it all and did something with it.
You said it better than I could. I couldn't agree more.
I am not a scientist, in the sense usually meant, for I do not seek outside, but seek to see what seems outside, from a true or innocent, perspective. So for me, the world is reflecting what could be called aspects of Mind - not the mind that we ascribe ourself and each other, which is a mutually learned active process of self-differentiation from Mind, in which we experience ourselves and the world 'externally'.
When we look out, we are seeing something reflected of our own Mind - that is not within the focus of the apparent control which we associate with our self, and which is not available to be known or seen directly from the perspective of the mode or mind of control - because the assertion of force as 'self', acts out an action- reaction loop in which Ground Awareness is effectively obscured by distractive identity.
I felt to essay this much, because truth is not a discovery of man but the uncovering of an awareness in which nothing contradicts itself or limits or sets apart to judge. To mere thought, this must read as nonsense, but to a willingness to accept a perfectly unified and indivisible being - exactly where the experience of selves and world is seeming to occur - it is like Everything coming into clear focus from a Perspective that had been forgot amidst the personal experience of action and reaction, which can now be observed empty of personal investment.
The Higgs field of our own mind is not unlike a veil or lens whereby an Indivisibility, is experienced as differentiated force and matter, space and time, observer and observed. It can hardly last an instant, yet opens a 'portal' through which manifest existence is expressed and experienced, not exclusively from a subjective view within its universe, but the Primary Awareness knowing Itself in All.
Human concept is inherently unable to articulate Indivisibility and can only make sketches that trigger an Intimate and thoughtless realisation, from which proceeds expressions of a like nature. Such expressions embody the qualities that are the foundations of true cultural renewal, because they are not a persistence of the reaction mind, but embody a fresh perspective.
Problem solving is addictive to many but the problem that is kept unsolved is of the division of our heart and mind. If mind 'goes off on its own' it creates it's own self-illusion. We should know this well by now, but are still asleep to our true nature while we collude in engaging such wishful thinking in e ery kind of guise.
I do not know what I am or what anything is.
Yet this realisation opens to That Which Is, by absence is self asserted identity and the realisation is Unspeakable, and confers no status nor advantage save that of apprehending truly.
Thank you for your attention.
I'm curious why this essay of silliness has 3 recommends. Either you've mastered the art of trolling or you're very confused. Nothing you said made any sense except the "I am not a scientist" part.
Examples of nonsense:
"The Higgs field of our own mind is not unlike a veil or lens whereby an Indivisibility, is experienced as differentiated force and matter, space and time, observer and observed."
"Human concept is inherently unable to articulate Indivisibility and can only make sketches that trigger an Intimate and thoughtless realisation"
"Thoughtless realization"? Contradiction maybe?
I normally don't respond to posts like these, but I'm kinda curious why people write stuff like this.
Does a computer program generate your musings? The are more obtuse than the american tax code.
"Does a computer program generate your musings? The are more obtuse than the american tax code."
That´s an indictment if I ever heard one.
I appreciate the civility of your response.
For everything 'outside' I feel a correspondence within.
My admittedly poetic use of the Higgs Field as a name for what feels similar in function is not a scientific fact but perhaps a pointer to where to bring attention to - in the working of the mind.
While (some) scientists seek a Unified Theory of Everything, I put it that Indivisibility is Already Fact - but that a trick of the mind makes it SEEM as if an action of desire and intention has set off a chain of reactions whereby thought and its implied 'thinker' have an independent polarised existence in a tangibility of energy and mass.
The presumption of independent self is so all pervasive and deepseated as the foundation of our consciousness, that it is difficult to even bring it to question. (Though I see science is in fact deconstructing the 'self' as an actual entity just as it is clearing out wishful thinking about an external God).
Realization may find clothes in thought - and a thought may express some aspect of the breakthrough - but it truly is of an order beyond thinking. Thinking can be used as a term to include all aspects of mind - but I tend to use it for conceptual imaginative construct.
The old adage, "Be still, and know God" is not addressed to a thinking approach and isn't suggesting a coercive or controlled stillness of an imposed concept.
To experience without the interpretations and assertions and commentary of the separate self sense (thinking)is to at least glimpse and Indivisibility or wholeness of be-ing.
This intimate fact has absolutely no value for a mind engaged in its own constructs or pet projects, and so is rendered to be of no value (without mass). Yet the light of awareness is the (always and already) Context of everything you or I ever think and experience. It is Name-less and unspeakable because you cannot actually separate yourself from it to do so, (But in the imagination that we have (by defining self, other and world), is every human thought and its experience made).
Should this awareness stir within you, you may experience everything that the mind constructs as meaning - as completely unfounded and meaningless - not unlike an elaborate theory that turned out to be unfounded. Some aspect of this occurs for a lot of us in all sorts of contexts, but usually everything focusses upon regaining a solidity of self as if that was the only sanity - like keeping a well sealed lid over the deeper aspects of our consciousness and their associated fears and inadequacies.
The collusive and mutually self validating behaviour of human beings in constructing their reality runs much deeper than what is visible on surface. However the desire to KNOW - is also alive within us all - whether it has stirred in your life yet or not - and this may take all sorts of routes and expression, including scientific endeavour.
I do not feel any necessary or inherent division between spiritual enquiry and any other human endeavour so I include something of my perspective here simply as an invitation to meet without persuasion or assertion beyond the witness that I am able to articulate with this conceptual tool - amidst this particular cultural context.
Because I presume a different foundation, I will be perhaps very hard to understand because it doesn't extend the existing concepts so much as use them in a different way. But I am also very easy to pass by without hardly noticing. It isn't like anyone has to listen in if they haven't some interest moving already in their own mind.
If you skimmed my writing on any of my blogs you will at least find me consistent.
Why do I write?
Art is originally of the verb 'to be'. Thou Art. To open a channel of expression of being is a gift sharing itself.
Why do I sing?
Why do I dance?
Why do we love?
Silly questions to the ones in flow - but seemingly worthy of pursuing to those who see forms (think) without any sense of the spirit of which they express.
Now if it did - and it also provided a virtual sense of self independence such that I believe I am in fact thinking MY own thoughts - then it would no doubt be able to formulate a response for you and I would be (virtually) happy.
Are your thoughts (y)our own?
Or are they essentially programmed reaction?
Something IS present here. See a mind of reaction and validate it by 'using it'. Or disregard what has no validity to your conscious purpose.
What is the purpose ruling or aligning all things in (y)our life?
From a foundation, all else follows - but from a false foundation, all that follows is likewise false - no matter how rigorous and tested it is.
If I wrote to what you (all) already 'know' I would have nothing to add. In writing from where I feel the inspiration, I may have a lonely time of it, but I feel to lean to the potential of a Copernican shift in self awareness… anyway.
You have seen this epic discovery in physics and understanding of the universe well and truly intimately into its building blocks and you question what this human race has learned, discovered and, really, how is this possible? What is this Higgs boson really, how can it help us get to where we want to be? Do we even know? And epic, not so much as a Facebook status, as much as pointing the Hubble Space Telescope at a point of darkness in the sky and seeing light.
So there go the Brits grabbing all the credit for their geezer called Higgs.
Why is the damn thing called a boson?
How about crediting the Indians for change?
Dr.Bose was a great physicist and did seminal work towards understanding the bose einstein condensate.
He was also a very humble person.
The Boson family of particles of which the now discovered Higgs is a member; was named after him.
However, he did not postulate its existence or conceive its properties.
Still I believe that contributors from asia such as Bose have endured the rough end of the stick when it comes to recognition from the nobel committee.
Also often Asians don't acknowledge greatness in their midst, An example is Abdus Salam, an effortlessly brilliant man.
Dr. Salam's story has a poignant ending. He was an ahmadia, apparently not muslim enough for stupid islamists who defaced his grave in Karachi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Grave_of_Abdus_Salam.jpg)
They might have actually written on his tombstone that he was not a muslim. Top that stupidity.
The guy died with a broken heart.
Thank you Mr Bose. Proud of you for laying foundation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satyendra_Nath_Bose
yeah! please do not call it the God particle, just admit that God exists!
What's to admit, the problem is identifying the nature of that god (or gods, or...) Maybe there are some scientific experiments we can run, but first we need the right kind of theoretical foundation. Bows to Mr. Bose are indeed in order -- he shoulda gotten that Nobel!
can't prove a negative
Can't we just leave god in the realm of the metaphysical?
But God has nowhere near a 5 sigma level of certainty. :)
Trivial but true! Don't forget it in the midst of all the arm waving and bromide talk which always accompanies events like this.
Religion proposes; science disposes!
As usual, the Economist has made an informative, (and as far as I know) accurate and sensible summary of the position without the gushing or snide references to God.

Yoga studios can be intimidating places for beginners, especially those from, shall we say, "the less flexible gender."
From the stretches and stretchy pants to the pretzel-like postures with Sanskrit names, it's just too much for many of the uninitiated and macho guys. But one local yoga teacher has found an angle to lure them in and keep them: alcohol.
Beth Cosi, owner of Tapas Yoga, has been holding her "Bendy Brewski Yoga" series on Mondays for two years at Holy City Brewery on Dorchester Road in North Charleston.
After each 45-minute class, participants are invited to stick around, sample an array of beers and socialize, the latter of which can be rare at most studios. A week ago Monday, 54 people spread mats between the vats, the barrels, bar and pool table at Holy City.
No rush
Among them were a group of friends — Gilly and Peter Wallace of Mount Pleasant, Pete Volk of Folly Beach, Lauren Wolf of West Ashley, and Carol Varano on James Island — who met doing Bendy Brewski Yoga last year and have become regular beer yogis.
Volk, whose wife Susan usually joins the group, says the yoga and beer combination works for them.
"It makes my wife happy because I'm exercising and it makes me happy because I'm drinking beer," says Volk. "What I like about it is that it (the class) is not intimidating and I know that if it hurts, beer will always come afterward."
Unlike some yoga studios in Charleston, where young adult women dominate, the yoga class at Holy City ran the gamut of age and had a higher ratio of men.
Chloe Greene says she only started coming to Holy City after her father, Lenny Greene, invited her. When she first attended, most participants were his age or just a tad younger.
Does yoga trump the beer, or vice versa?
"The beer is definitely an influence," says Chloe, who is 23 and attends College of Charleston. "I like yoga, but yoga and beer seemed more ideal than just plain yoga."
With the popularity of the series at Holy City, Cosi recently started a series at Frothy Beard Brewing on Peppermill Parkway in North Charleston on Tuesdays and "Bendy Boozy Yoga" series at High Wire Distillery on upper King Street on Wednesdays, where the yogis get samples of vodka, rum and whiskey.
F&B connection
While Cosi thought she had created something unique, an online article she was interviewed for in "Yoga Journal" indicated that similar classes are being held in other parts of the country.
The origin of the Bendy Brewski Yoga series was a past working relationship with Chris Brown at EVO Pizza in North Charleston. Brown is now head brewer and part-owner at Holy City.
At EVO, Cosi would do impromptu, short yoga session with co-workers.
"This would take place in the kitchen, the dish-pit or the office, before or after a shift, sometimes right in the middle of a lunch or dinner rush," says Cosi.
"I noticed that their response to these small opportunities of yoga had an empowering effect and I started to get lots of questions. Some were getting curious about their bodies and wanted to feel more, not less."
When she gave passes to studio classes, no one ever came.
"I began to see that these students, mostly dudes with beards, weren't gonna come to a yoga studio. They found it intimidating. They worried that they wouldn't understand the language, the dress, the culture within the studio. I understood that. These were not your Lululemon yogis, not yet anyway," says Cosi.
When Holy City opened, Brown asked Cosi to start doing classes for staff and close friends in local food and beverage circles.
After class, they'd have a tasting and talk about yoga postures, the beer and life in general.
"It was all good. Our bodies and minds were open. There's a kind of serenity after a good yoga class, and what followed was relaxing, slow conversation with no drama and no yoga hype," says Cosi, adding that the brewery turned out to be ideal for yoga.
"I have been very fortunate, blessed really, to be at the right place at the right time and at the crossroads where two passions, two crafts collide."

A's seeking sweep in Gray-Hellickson matchup
Oakland's starter named AL's Pitcher of Month for stellar July
Rays starter Jeremy Hellickson has three starts to his name all season along with 11 strikeouts. A's right-hander Sonny Gray made five starts in the month of July alone. He has 128 strikeouts on the season.
The two will meet Wednesday afternoon in Oakland, having nearly opposite seasons to this point. While Gray is coming off of American League Pitcher of the Month honors for July, Hellickson is still looking to throw at least five innings for the first time this season. The right-hander had arthroscopic surgery on his pitching elbow in March and is 0-1 in his three starts.
"I want him to go deeper into games, absolutely. I think under a different set of circumstances he probably would have by now," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "We've been looking at pitch usage and what he's doing and trying to give him some good information to take it out on the field and see how it plays out … more than me trusting him, he's got to trust himself. That's what it comes down to."
Hellickson said physically he feels good, but that he's struggled to throw strikes. He's found success with his velocity and his changeup, but there's no substitute for game experience.
"I'm healthy, I feel strong, but you can't emulate coming out to a big league game," Hellickson said. "I haven't pitched well. I haven't really given [Maddon] a reason to leave me out there. Obviously I'd like to get a chance to work out of my own jams and go deeper in the game."
Gray, on the other hand, hasn't pitched fewer than six innings since June 28 in Miami, and he has a 12-4 record with a 2.59 ERA on the season.
The 24-year-old, who compiled a 5-0 record with a 1.03 ERA in July, already took home AL Pitcher of the Month honors in April, making him the first A's pitcher to win it twice in a single season since Barry Zito did it in August and September of 2001.
Manger Bob Melvin praised his youngster.
"To win it once during a season is quite the achievement, twice even more so obviously," Melvin said. "Based on the numbers, not surprised. Certainly, congratulations to him."
Gray said the success came as a result of simplifying the game and trusting his stuff.
"This last month I got back to what got me here and the reasons I've been so successful and started doing those things again," Gray said. "Just being competitive, attacking guys and not trying to trick people, just make pitches."
A's: Lowrie given rest with bruised finger
Melvin wouldn't let on whether or not shortstop Jed Lowrie (bruised right index finger) would be available off the bench Tuesday night.
Lowrie ended up not playing, a night after taking a ball off the finger in the fourth inning. He stayed in for the rest of that game, which the A's won in 10 innings Monday night.
On Tuesday, Eric Sogard replaced Lowrie, who his hitting .245 with 28 doubles and 42 RBIs on the season.
Rays: Boxberger dominating against lefties
Right-hander Brad Boxberger has stifled left-handed hitters the past two months, retiring 43 in a row entering Wednesday.
Lefties have a .077 average against him, which is best in the Majors among qualifiers. The last time he gave up a hit to a lefty was May 20.
"I've always liked facing lefties," Boxberger said, "just because I've been able to use what I want to use against them."
Worth noting
• On Wednesday, the Rays will be playing their 29th game of the past 35 against a team over .500. They then play seven straight against sub-.500 teams and then 28 of 32 against above-.500 teams.
• Coco Crisp was the A's designated hitter Tuesday night, returning to the lineup for the first time in 10 days from ongoing neck soreness. Melvin expects him to return to center field Wednesday.

Congrats to the Suse Community!
Phoronix: openSUSE 11.3 Released
As expected, openSUSE 11.3 has been released this morning. openSUSE 11.3 is the latest Linux distribution update from Novell and the openSUSE Project. This release introduces a number of new features, including SpiderOak file sync integration, improved file indexing, support for the Btrfs file-system, graphics driver updates, and many package updates. Available for openSUSE 11.3 is KDE SC 4.4.4 and GNOME 2.30.1, but a preview snapshot of GNOME 3.0 complete with the GNOME Shell is also available...
Congrats to the Suse Community!
Have been using it since RC1 and have had no issues whatsoever
Actually I'm also using KDE 4.5 RC and that's also very stable.
Very good job done !!
I'll have to try openSUSE again and see how well it compares to recently released Mandriva Linux 2010 Spring.
Hmm, isn't hal deprecated? So why does KDE still require HAL? This doesn't sound good. Like KDE is more focused on this plasmid bling-bling than getting their core sorted out.Under the hood:
hal is not used in the base system and the GNOME desktop anymore. The KDE desktop still requires hal
Well. This bug is still open:
Too busy atm to upgrade, but sure gonna seed it in the meantime
Nope, next version is 12.0.It's been eight months since the release of openSUSE 11.2 while the successor to OpenSUSE 11.3, which will be openSUSE 11.4, is due for release in March of 2011.
November 2009: "Fichte" 11.2
July 2010: "Rousseau" 11.3
March 2011: "Voltaire" 12.0
November 2011: "Lessing" 12.1

An interior rotunda displays a central fountain, with surrounding relaxation seating (image by Lutzow 7)
Article Summary
The town of Bad Essen in Northern Germany has long been the home of salt works facilities, where in the early 1900's it was discovered that the salt in the surrounding air proved to be a natural remedy for many respiratory illnesses. Located in the town is Solepark, a health resort devoted entirely to the contemplation of the five senses. One of the highlights of the resort is its unique Sole Arena.
