Various Middle Eastern cultures reflected in "The Arabian Nights"
Various Middle Eastern cultures reflected in "The Arabian Nights"October 7, 2015—Robbie Goodrich
Cast and production staff members of "The Arabian Nights," the Stephen F. Austin State University School of Theatre's current Mainstage Series play adapted from "The Book of the Thousand Nights and One Night," have learned a lot about the Far East, the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East and North Africa.
In the weeks leading up to the play's Oct. 6 opening before enthusiastic crowds, students and their teachers explored cultures with which many were unfamiliar. But theatre professor Angela Bacarisse, who designed costumes, hair and make-up for the play, and her hair and make-up assistant designer, student Samantha Friedrich, each brought unique insights to the production.
As a freshman student at the University of Delaware, Bacarisse's assigned roommate was from Saudi Arabia, and through that new friendship with Farida, Bacarisse got her first "real taste" of Middle Eastern culture. But midway through that first semester, Bacarisse returned from class one day to the dorm room they shared to find Farida's father, who was an economics professor at another university in Pennsylvania, had packed his daughter's belongings and was taking her home.
"He had decided unmarried women should not live away from their fathers, and he took her home," Bacarisse said. "That was kind of shocking to me. That's when I decided I needed to know more about this culture."
The incident started Bacarisse reading about and researching the culture. When the first Gulf War broke out, Bacarisse had just started her first teaching job. The war made her want to learn even more about the Middle East so she could better explain the daily news events to her students. She also read a series of books by author Jean Sasson about the life of a Saudi princess and how women of the Middle East are treated within their countries and their own homes.
"It was eye-opening to understand the difference between someone who believes in their faith and the good things about it," Bacarisse said, "and doesn't believe in the people who are trying to kill those who don't have their faith."
Deeper reading about women like Gertrude Bell and Freya Stark, who traveled extensively throughout the Middle East and wrote about their experiences, gave her greater insight into the history of the Middle East and how the countries were shaped and divided without taking into consideration the impact dividing various religions would have.
"I developed this fascination with the culture and women's studies," Bacarisse said. "There is a lot of reverence for women as opposed to hatred for women in the culture that I don't think a lot of people realize. Part of keeping women separate is so that others don't 'steal' them. So some of the thinking is ancient, but what they do is based on reverence."
At one point during the mid-1980s, Bacarisse worked in an exclusive clothing store in Detroit where she was the only American in the workroom. Every other employee was from Iran. Bacarisse listened to the women tell their stories of escape "with only the clothes on their backs."
"These were wealthy women who left it all to break away from the ayatollah," she said.
Bacarisse and Friedrich have had many long conversations about the Middle East. As an American female growing up in the Middle East because of her father's job in the oil industry, Friedrich had to, at times, "behave in a certain way" outside the home.
Born in Texas but moving to Dubai when she was 4, Friedrich, a self-described "oil brat," spent most of her early educational years in Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia.
"Through living overseas, we were able to travel a lot and experience a lot of different cultures," she said. "I would love to live back overseas. The culture is so beautiful with so much loyalty and devotion to religion."
Friedrich plans to use her travels and experiences in the Middle East to create "a melting pot of cultures" for "The Arabian Nights."
SFA's production of Mary Zimmerman's "The Arabian Nights" will not be specific to one Middle Eastern culture, Bacarisse said. Rather, the play will portray and the costumes will reflect many cultures of the region. A donation of Middle Eastern clothing several years ago provides the costume backdrop for the play.
"If you do the research, you'll find that Kurdish women dress differently than Saudi Arabian women, and they dress differently than women in Yemen and women in Palestine," she said. "Since the stories in this play take place all over the Middle East and North Africa, we're not being specific. There is a sort of romanticized version of what the Middle East looks like, and it's very biblical. These are the clothes you would see in your Christmas pageant in church. But we're also pulling in the look from Disney's 'Aladdin.'"
"I want to represent the beauty the women and men have, and I want to translate that into the hair and make-up design," Friedrich said. "I loved and cherished my life there, and I want the people to be represented in a loving way."
The School of Theatre presents "The Arabian Nights" at 7:30 nightly through Saturday, Oct. 10, in W.M. Turner Auditorium on the SFA campus. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for seniors and $7.50 for students. For tickets or more information, call the SFA Fine Arts Box Office at (936) 468-6407 or visit theatre.sfasu.edu.

"We have three featured performers on this concert," said Fred J. Allen, director of bands.
Staci Spring, bassoon instructor in the School of Music, will perform as soloist on Dana Wilson's "The Avatar," a concerto for bassoon and chamber ensemble.
"This music has an Indian flavor to it," Allen said.
Composer Jess Langston Turner will be present for the performance of his work "Rumpelstilzchen."
"Turner is an award-winning composer, writing for band, orchestra and voices," Allen said. "His 'Rumpelstilzchen' uses music to tell the familiar fairytale of the miserly gnome who could spin straw into gold."

"Ward retired this year after a successful career as a band director," Allen said. "He was most recently the director at Atascocita High School. His bands were outstanding there, as were his bands in Athens, Kingwood, Lufkin and the other places he taught."
The concert also includes pieces by the American composers Howard Hanson and Joseph Turrin.
The concert is a presentation of the SFA College of Fine Arts and School of Music. Tickets are $8 for adults, $6 for seniors and $3 for students and youth. For tickets or more information, call the SFA Fine Arts Box Office at (936) 468-6407 or visit http://www.finearts.sfasu.edu.

Nakasone exhibition features the art of 'sho'
Nakasone exhibition features the art of 'sho'October 6, 2015—Robbie Goodrich
The exhibition "Ron Y. Nakasone: Formless Form, the Art of Sho" will open with a reception at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 15, in Griffith Gallery on the campus of Stephen F. Austin State University.
The exhibition features the modern expression of a traditional art form that is still highly respected in East Asia. The art of "sho" and its metaphysical support, Buddhist thought, especially that of Zen, had a great impact on Western art in the later half of the last century, according to John Handley, director of SFA art galleries.
Nakasone states that "the Art of Sho (calligraphy) uses the soft (Chinese) brush, free flowing ink, and absorbent paper to give form to the artist-writer's being, feelings and thoughts. The art is an opportunity for the sho-artist to give form through line and space to his or her spiritual landscape."
During the late 1940s and early 1950s, sho artists, intent on revitalizing their tradition, saw a commonality with the non-representative subject matter of modern art and the spontaneity of the creative process in the action paintings exemplified by Jackson Pollack. Many Western artists felt a kinship with the expressive spontaneity of Zenga (Zen paintings) and Zen-inspired sho.
"This affinity resulted in a number of exhibitions that highlighted the expressive possibilities of the brush to mirror the inner life of the artist," Nakasone said.
While the more subtle technical aspects of and aesthetic qualities created by the soft brush may be difficult to discern, audiences beyond East Asia can appreciate the expressive movement of line and vitality of space, he said.
Among the comments from the guest book at Nakasone's show last fall at the Graduate Theological Union, Berkley, California: "These are so beautiful...have opened my eyes to a new kind of artistic expression of humanity." Cindy Pinus, GTU student.
The exhibition is presented by the SFA School of Art and is sponsored in part by the Friends of the Visual Arts and Nacogdoches Junior Forum. Griffith Gallery is located in the Griffith Fine Arts Building, 2222 Alumni Drive. The show runs through Nov. 20. For additional information, call (936) 468-1131.
Nakasone will present a public lecture and demonstration at the Cole Art Center @ The Old Opera House at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 17. The lecture is free.

A camel division of the Polisario Front army of the Saharawis who were evicted from their land in Western Sahara in 1975. Australia's phosphate comes from this disputed territory, with calls for the import to stop until the Saharawis can return to their home. Photo: AP
Every now and then we discover all is not as right with the world as we thought it was. Even so, who would think a wake-up call could come in the shape of phosphatic rock?
Recently, a harmless enough bulk carrier called the Christine O steamed up the Derwent to unload in Hobart.
It was a surprise to be told that its phosphatic rock cargo came not from the "usual" island sources close to Australia. It came all the way around Africa from the Atlantic coast of the Western Sahara.
About 284,000 tonnes of North African phosphate landed in Australian ports in 2008-9, according to the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics (ABARE). The contents of one mine, the Phosbucraa open cut in El Ayoun, has been poured onto Australian paddocks more than any other in recent years.
There is something really incomprehensible about that. Sure, we import oil from the Middle East. But soil fertiliser? Doesn't the Sahara need that more than we do?
No, according to market forces, and scientists too. Our soils are said to be among the world's most phosphorous-deficient. Yet our major agriculture exports: beef, wheat and sheep, need piles of it.
One problem is that known phosphate reserves are running down.
Peak phosphorus could occur by 2030, according to the Global Phosphate Research Initiative, which includes the University of Technology Sydney.
More pressing is the claim that by taking phosphate from the Western Sahara, Australia is complicit in the theft of an increasingly valuable resource from disenfranchised people.
The Western Sahara is described as the last colony in Africa. The land of the Saharawi people has been occupied by Moroccan forces since the Spanish government gave it up in 1975.
A conflict led mainly by the Saharawi nationalist Polisario Front has from time to time broken out into guerilla war, and continues to this day.
Last week an all-party group of British MPs condemned the shooting of a 14-year-old boy by Moroccan forces at a 10,000-strong Saharawi protest camp set up outside El Ayoun — the phosphate town.
The Australian Western Sahara Association wants shipments ended as long as the Saharawi are unable to exercise their legitimate rights to the resource.
The UN has been calling since 1966 for de-colonisation of the Western Sahara, and maintains a peacekeeping mission there called MINURSO. The ACTU rails against the UN's failure to deliver, but the Department of Foreign Affairs takes a neutral approach.
Its advice is that given the status of the Western Sahara as a non-self governing territory, there are "international law considerations" to do with imports. "We recommend that companies seek legal advice before importing such material," it says.
The Australian Fertiliser Services Association says the Western Sahara is now this country's most important source of high quality rock, with reserves on Nauru and Christmas Island having unacceptably high cadmium levels.
"Each company has separately sought advice, and on balance, what they are doing is legal," said association chairman Nick Drew.
So out of Africa and into Hobart, Geelong, Portland and Kwinana, the phosphate comes.

Mindef unveils Smart Defence plans
Shunfu Ville up for collective sale
Bouncing back through social media
PAP candidate Tin Pei Ling, flamed online during GE 2011, has made social media work for her
Former Marine Parade MP Tin Pei Ling was vilified on social media soon after she was introduced as a new candidate in the 2011 General Election.
But she has become popular with her constituents in the MacPherson ward in Marine Parade GRC.
Ironically, this came about mainly due to her use of social media.
There was an online backlash against the youngest People's Action Party (PAP) candidate in 2011 after a photo of her posing with a Kate Spade box went viral. Things got worse when she said her biggest regret was not taking her parents to Universal Studios Singapore.
But after she was elected, Ms Tin often posted photos and updates about her grassroots activities and issues that she spoke about in Parliament.
Singapore Management University Associate Professor Eugene Tan said: "By posting updates on the ground and sharing her thoughts online, she has used social media as a virtual extension of herself.
"And by taking ownership of her image online, she has further supplemented her connection with voters on the ground.
"Authenticity is key here. Had they felt a disconnection from her online persona and how she is on the ground, she wouldn't be as popular."
Ms Tin, who is contesting in a three-way fight in MacPherson SMC, which was carved out of Marine Parade, is not the only politician engaging voters on social media.
Almost every politician now has a presence on social media.
Dr Ang Peng Hwa, director of the Singapore Internet Research Centre at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), said: "No political party can afford to ignore social media."
This is a stark contrast to the 2011 General Election, when the ruling PAP was the least active on Facebook, according to an Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) study on the impact of new media in that election.
The Reform Party and National Solidarity Party were the most active.
Social and Family Development Minister Tan Chuan-Jin told The New Paper: "I see social media as another medium for engagement. It complements rather than replaces existing modes of interaction."
Mr Tan posts updates on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram regularly. Some posts are personal and refer to his family life.
In a recent Facebook post, Mr Tan wrote: "Long day. Managed to catch the kids before they sleep. Had little chats with them in their rooms before they turned in for the day. Amidst the helter-skelter of the elections, this is a little oasis of calm."
He also often posts fun photos with cats and, yes, food as well. (We now know that his favourite orh luak, or oyster omelette, is in Chinatown.)
Workers' Party candidate Daniel Goh, who has also been active on Facebook, was lauded by many for his heartfelt and authentic posts.
The sociology professor at the National University of Singapore was thrust into the spotlight after an e-mail alleging that he had an affair with a former student was sent to the media.
Mr Goh "categorically refuted these baseless allegations" to the media as well as on social media. He also shared updates and his thoughts on the situation.
Prof Tan said: "Goh took proper ownership and responded in a timely manner to an issue that he knew voters would be concerned about.
"He definitely wasn't economical in trying to reach out to voters and his authenticity came through. His posts were also crafted in a way that was engaging."
But experts said that being on social media may not be enough for politicians to reach out to voters.
Dr Ang said: "People are migrating to closed chat groups through services such as WhatsApp and WeChat and it is harder to reach them through social media.
"The closed groups are like friends having a conversation and then you, a stranger, butt in saying: 'Vote for my party.' Unless you get invited in, it is impossible to have a genuine, engaging conversation."
Dr Carol Soon, a research fellow at IPS, wrote last month in a commentary on the IPS website: "Post the 2011 GE, the proliferation of smartphones and Instant Messaging applications like WhatsApp have boosted the sharing of political news, pictures and videos. Hence we anticipate a greater volume of information exchange and discussion among users for the coming election."
But whether the politicians can penetrate these closed groups to reach out to gain new supporters remains to be seen.
As Dr Ang told TNP: "I think the political parties will have to be even more creative."
Online news sites: Less partisan, more popular
Has the Internet become less of a Wild Wild West?
Since the 2011 General Election, the online landscape has seen more balanced and more moderate websites such as Mothership.SG and The Middle Ground.
These two lead a pack that includes Six-Six News, Inconvenient Questions and Must Share News.
Senior research fellow Tan Tarn How of Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) wrote on its website last week: "The political Internet in Singapore is now home to a much wider spectrum of political views and players, and this is even more so since 2011."
This, he said, was a contrast from the "early Internet", where alternative news media online was used to express sentiments against the Government.
In 2011, Mr Tan and his fellow researchers found that people put more trust in mainstream media than the information available online.
The popularity of the more moderate sites like Mothership.SG can be attributed to a more mature public looking for more diverse views and who are more willing to trust alternative news media, he said.
The Online Citizen, which was prominent during GE 2011, was seen as anti-establishment. It attracted as many as 1 million viewers a month, but viewership slumped after the election.
IPS research fellow Carol Soon said: "While the online space was more partisan in the past, we are hearing more voices from the other end of the spectrum now."
And Singaporeans here are taking notice as they turn to these sites for political news.
Communications professor Liew Kai Khiun of Nanyang Technological University (NTU) said: "For Singaporeans interested in the political scene... they would have also included The Middle Ground and Mothership.SG in their newsfeeds.
"What these sites do for Singaporeans is contribute a more neutral - and perhaps witty - ground for netizens."
As younger voters clamour for more voices in Parliament, they are also looking for more diverse views and robust debates of policies.
NTU's Ang Peng Hwa said: "People use the Internet to search for information and alternative views.
"Searching for and listening to alternative news don't mean that they will vote for the opposition - they just want to ensure that they have made a good call."
Media Literacy Council president Tan Cheng Han also said that "people are increasingly trusting online sources" as opposed to just the mainstream media.
When asked why moderate sites are now more popular, founding editor Belmont Lay of Mothership.SG said: "The audience has grown up."
But it is also possible that bloggers and editors of online news sites have grown up, too.
Earlier this year, IPS found that the blogosphere now tends to be fairly rational, logical and reasonable.
The study, focused on rationality of the political online space, also found that a possible reason for this is the recognition by bloggers that balanced arguments are required to sway minds.
Six-Six News has published exclusive interviews with the likes of Law and Foreign Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam and Social and Family Development Minister Tan Chuan-Jin.
This is a change from 2011, where such sites would not have as much access.
Prof Liew said this could be because "the Government is accepting the reality of the social media landscape".
Mr Tan Chuan-Jin told The New Paper that opening himself up to social media and the online media is "another medium for engagement" and that it was a "useful platform for us to further explain our policies and thinking".
"(The online) space will naturally be contested, but Singaporeans must decide how conversations and discussions are conducted and what kind of tone should be set," he added.
Other than the mainstream media, these websites also discuss local politics.
One of the more popular sites offering GE 2015 coverage with light-hearted and easy-to-digest content. Former civil servants are among its editors.
HITS 1.2 million unique visitors a month
One of its founders is former The Straits Times journalist Bertha Henson. The Middle Ground has lengthy, opinionated articles. Its well-researched articles include one that analysed how often each MP spoke in Parliament.

Volunteers describe prep work before party posters go up
Volunteers describe prep work before posters go up, including recceing lamp posts
Thousands of posters and banners of the various political parties went up on Tuesday just hours after the nominations were announced.
Volunteers The New Paper spoke to said they had been planning ahead of Nomination Day in anticipation, with some even taking time off just to recce and take note of the locations of prominent lamp posts.
One volunteer said she intends to take two weeks' leave just to help put up the posters.
Another explained how a network of volunteers even looks out for damaged or defaced posters, so that they can be replaced quickly.
Mr Lui Tuck Yew, the outgoing Transport Minister who will not be standing in this year's general election, was also spotted helping to put up posters.

Tentage companies see booming business
With events celebrating Singapore's 50th birthday to the Hungry Ghost Festival, and now the General Election, people in the tentage industry are looking at an increase of up to four times in earnings this year.
Those whom The New Paper spoke to said they are fully booked and have even had to pass on some clients to others at the last minute.
They would not divulge how much they are making in this million-dollar industry. Despite that, they are not going to increase their inventory or manpower any time soon.

Mixed fortunes for printing business
Hot spots: In Aljunied GRC, is it all about town council issue?
In the first of our six-part series on the hottest contests in GE 2015, we speak to Aljunied residents about the issues that matter to them
It was the first group representation constituency (GRC) to be won by an opposition party since the GRC system was introduced in 1988.
And since then, Aljunied GRC has become a byword for the opposition Workers' Party (WP), which took the constituency during the 2011 General Election.
The People's Action Party (PAP) had 45.3 per cent of the vote share in 2011 - a swing of more than 10 percentage points - and its 2011 team had two ministers and a senior minister of state.
This year, the PAP is fielding a team that it says has the grassroots links.
Although backed by ex-Cabinet Minister Lim Boon Heng as its adviser, there is no anchor minister as with other GRCs.
The team, which includes long-time PAP MP Yeo Guat Kwang, says it is serious about bringing PAP "home" and disagrees vehemently that the WP team is the heavyweight in this contest.
But it is clear that there is a fair amount of ground support for the team in blue.
Mr Gerald Tan, 63, who has lived in Aljunied GRC for over three decades and spends most nights drinking at a coffee shop in Serangoon North, said it is nice that he sees his Members of Parliament around often.
"Every few weeks, we'll see Sylvia Lim walking around, talking to residents and inspecting the estate," Mr Tan said in Mandarin. Ms Lim is the MP in charge of the Serangoon division of the GRC.
He added: "We hope (the WP MPs) can speak up more in Parliament, because when we hear from them, it's always about the town council."
Political analysts note that the Aljunied-Hougang-Punggol East Town Council (AHPETC) issue could be a double-edged sword, though it will likely dominate the Aljunied campaign.
Dr Mustafa Izzudin, a research fellow at the Iseas-Yusof Ishak Institute, said how much the issue comes up in the hustings will depend on the PAP, because the WP will be forced to respond.
"On the one hand, it will compel the WP to backpedal and be preoccupied in dousing the AHPETC blaze. On the other, the AHPETC affair could hijack the entire campaign coupled with the perception of 'bullying', which, in the end, will favour WP," he said.
Singapore Management University law don Eugene Tan said the PAP will frame the battle with the WP as one of competence and integrity, while the WP will use it to show how systems here are tilted in favour of the PAP.
"How pivotal the issue will be depends on how the PAP and WP calibrate their actions.
"Too much hammering away at the issue on the PAP's part, voters might get turned off and question if the PAP's electoral strategy is just about six letters: AHPETC," he said.
National University of Singapore law and business lecturer Lan Luh Luh said residents are unlikely to care about the saga unless they have to pay more in service and conservancy charges.
Aljunied GRC residents The New Paper interviewed were mostly sanguine.
Madam Anna Tan, 55, who has been living in Paya Lebar division for about five years, said that when people find out where she lives, they all want to know what it is like living in opposition territory.
"It's really nothing different, all the facilities here, we already have from before the last elections," said Madam Tan, who works in a school.
But one resident said she was concerned about where the town council's money was going.
"If they were really overpaying a company that was run by their friends, it's a bit unfair. They should share the money with residents, like build more amenities for us," said the woman in her 50s, who declined to be named.
Ms Jan Lim, 29, who has been living in Serangoon North all her life, said: "I'm happy to see that the PAP is trying hard to win back Aljunied, but even if it did, all the upgrading has been completed, our estate is still in order. So what more can they offer us?"
On the one hand, it will compel the WP to backpedal and be preoccupied in dousing the AHPETC blaze. On the other, the AHPETC affair could hijack the entire campaign coupled with the perception of 'bullying', which, in the end, will favour WP.

Considering how prominent a figure Superman is in the DC Universe, this will probably answer a whole bunch of different questions about New52 continuity, not just ones about Superman. Looking forward to it.

WCWS resumes after storms
OKLAHOMA CITY -- The clear blue sky above ASA Hall of Fame Stadium on Saturday offered little hint of the chaos the night before.
After a harrowing night of severe storms in central Oklahoma, the Women's College World Series resumed, beginning with a pair of winners' bracket games, in which Tennessee beat Washington 1-0 and Oklahoma routed Texas 10-2.
Those games had been scheduled for Friday night, but instead, at least six of the eight teams in the NCAA softball championship rode ...

Rural Property Addressing is a joint state and local government initiative aimed to provide all occupied rural properties in South Australia - home and business - with a nationally consistent numbered address.
Many properties are currently located on un-named roads, requiring the property owner to rely on local knowledge and reference points among emergency services personnel (and service providers like vets and livestock officers) to find their property. Descriptions of property location are often confusing, leading to time loss and frustration.
Rural Property Addressing will end that confusion and ambiguity.
This initiative will provide a distance-based road number (based on the national standard) for the road access point to occupied properties that will assist emergency services and other service providers to find homes and businesses in regional South Australia with certainty, quickly and easily.
A rural property address consists of the distance based road number, road name, locality and postcode.
In a staged roll-out until 2011, about 55,000 occupied properties in rural South Australia will be issued with an address and information on roadside signage. Districts with a higher emergency services risk and preparedness to proceed will be targeted for early rollout.

Professor Kurt Heinzelman's new collection of poetry, "Intimacies & Other Devices," is out
Tue, October 22, 2013
From the Pinyon Publishing press release:
"It is wonderful to experience a poet's bounty, as we do in Kurt Heinzelman's rich new volume, with its expansive variety of voices, inventions and moods, across a range from probing reflection to sheer rapture. It's fine to be with a poet who can find words for the deepest intimacies of love, of what can pass between men and women. It's a pleasure, too, to participate in the playful re-interpretation of long traditions in the hands of one who knows, to feel the spring of poetic rhythm and the eloquence of the intricately concentrated expression, as memory, desire, humor and sensuality are shaped in virtuosic language."—NICHOLAS JOSE, novelist and editor of the Norton Anthology of Australian Literature
Pinyon Publishing has just released Professor Kurt Heinzelman's newest book of poetry, Intimacies & Other Devices. When asked to select one poem from the book which might illuminate some of its themes and rhythms, Professor Heinzelman chose this:
A cello with no
need so dire
it stirs any echo
A viola with a
lilt so tender it
fills every hollow
A violin as un-
equivocally civil
as a stand
of sugar maples
that first warm week
before they run
Of his thought process and intention behind the poem, Professor Heinzelman had this to say: "A string trio is an unusual, but not unheard of, chamber-music ensemble: quartets are more usual, or trios in which one instrument is a piano. 'Strings,' though, have a host of associations--with hearts, relationships, emotional attachments, and so on. So, I thought that that configuration of strings might yield interesting ways of talking about the onset of libido in someone (the 'you' in the title is not identified as either male or female) who is, as we say, 'of a certain age.' A number of the poems in the book are about the intimacies, carnal and otherwise, experienced by a person of a certain age, a phenomenon that many of my students think is either unlikely or yucky. I'm not sure the poem will prove them wrong."
Readers of any age can find the full press release and information on how to purchase the book at Pinyon Press online.

Ice storm hits retailers at critical time
Boxing Day is the busiest shopping day of the year, but the Retail Council of Canada is concerned the bad weather may keep shoppers away.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Canada's top retail association is worried the ice storm could freeze up merchants' bottom lines this season.
Despite extended store hours and the temptation of Boxing Day sales, the Retail Council of Canada said the storm could mean the difference between ending the year in the black or red, particularly for small and mid-sized businesses.
"This issue isn't just about seasonal shopping, it also impacts grocery shopping and the ability to put food on the table for holiday celebrations," said Diane Brisebois, the retail council's president and CEO.
The storm hit at the most crucial time of the year for many retailers, with December shopping accounting for $30 billion to $40 billion in sales, according to the council.
The Pickering Town Centre was shuttered Sunday after the ice storm knocked out its power, while Yorkdale Shopping Centre was forced to close early after half its stores lost power. Both malls reopened Monday.
To make up for lost sales, many retailers offered discounted Boxing Day prices days before the annual shopping spree kicks off Thursday.
Best Buy offered online customers Boxing Day deals starting Christmas Eve, while Sport Chek marked down items beginning Saturday.
The Eaton Centre had 111,000 shoppers visit on Sunday, setting this year's record. Last year, 136,000 shoppers visited the mall the same day.
Adam Klassen expects a lineup before he begins his shift at the mall's Le Chateau outlet Thursday morning.
"Some people just come because of the chaos. They don't even buy anything, they just want to see other people and be part of the big rush," said Klassen.
Malls across the GTA are offering extended hours Thursday. The Eaton Centre will be open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Pickering Town Centre will be open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Square One and Yorkdale will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

Perhaps it would be interesting to open up a "universities" category (or subcategory of Organization) to list universities that teach lisp?

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

Nina Miranda
Nina Miranda (b. 1970) is both a singer and songwriter who was part of the English group, Smoke City, and more recently, Shrift.
Miranda was born in Brazil in 1970. Her father was the Brazilian visual artist Luiz Aquila, her mother is English. The family moved to England and France. Miranda says that she wanted to be an opera singer when she was younger, and then studied art.[1]
Smoke City played major venues and festivals in the UK and Europe, and in 2001 they released a second album in the UK called Heroes Of Nature. Smoke City's songs, and other writing collaborations Nina has been involved with, are used on films and advertising. According to a podcast in their new band ZEEP's MySpace website, they state that because of record label pressure on Smoke City, they decided to end the band.
Nina Miranda has worked with a variety of artists, and has guested on tracks for Da Lata, Nitin Sawhney, Basement Jaxx, Cirque du Soleil, Bebel Gilberto, Daniel Jobim, Antonio Chainho, Shrift, Spiller, Faze Action, Jah Wobble, Les Gammas, Troubleman, Arkestra 1, Hajime Yoshizawa and Robert Miles.
Nina and fellow Smoke City member, Chris Franck had a son. The two of them released an album in July 2007 under the name Zeep.[2] In 2009, they released their second album "Peoples & Things".[3]

Review collected in partnership with Relais du Silence Hotels
Hotel des Buttes was a delightful place to spend a long weekend. The setting is beautiful and peaceful and the hotel has a charming, cosy atmosphere. One minor caution is that the hotel is a little remote and dining options other than the hotel seemed to be limited. The restaurant was good but pricy with limited kids' options.
We were recently at the hotel for a long weekend. Great place from which to explore the Vosges. The hotel is in an idyllic location. Our many thanks to the hotel staff for accommodating the kids nut/peanut allergy, thank you Chef who cooked them special meals throughput our stay. The pool, sauna and steam room allowed us a relaxing environment... More
I have business in the Voges and have been looking for a great hotel. Although, I am sure most people would look for this hotel for the skiing, I will be coming in the off season. The hotel is beautiful with lovely wood throughout. The staff was kind and made me feel welcome. They speak some English, but I was... More
We stayed for one night as part of a tour. Reception staff very welcoming and efficient. The room was quite small but adequate for one night. We really did not need the big chair in it which only took up space. Bathroom small but again adequate. Evening meal was as part of a group which can be difficult for hotels... More
we stayed here at the end july 13, its a great walking location in the summer, we did book for dinner B&B for two nights , for a room with a balcony and sitting area, which was very nice, clean and very comfotable, our only disappointment was our food, dinner, was a set menu, the main course had no choice,... More
Located at the bottom of the ski slopes above Ventron, this is a very good hotel. In a peaceful and quiet position, it is has good clean & well appointed rooms with views over the ski slopes. The Restaurant is very good, with excellent food and good service
Verry good quality for the price. (book through agency) Verry good food 4 services, wood in the rooms. Friendly people. Fireplace in the lobby. Only negative points is that the room was small and the kids made the wellness area noisy.

Last meeting
Went to my last meeting here today. It was kinda sad. I feel like I got close to everyone over this month. I will get to see most people tomorrow at congregation volleyball Monday.

Back to Placencia
... Then on Tuesday we went to the Belize zoo and got to see a lot of amazing animals. Wednesday was another pretty long day in service. They were still doing their tract campaign for the convention in Belize Kriol so that was kinda fun. On Thursday we prepared for the meeting together and then we went to the meeting there. It was raining pretty hard so they a low attendance but it was still nice meeting the friends who were there. Friday morning ...
Beautiful day
... Then I met Derrick at the beach for volleyball. We played one on one for a little but it's very tiring so we quit pretty quickly. Then we went to a party for some people who were visiting from Santa Elena which is about 2 hours away. It was a nice time with a variety of different friends. It's really starting to feel like my trip is nearing its end. I'm really gonna be sad to ...

Something for dinner: Frontera Kitchen
by Sara Osburn
posted Aug 9 2011 1:31PM
So if you watch Top Chef...then you might know chef Rick Bayless who owns Mexican cuisine restaurants in Chicago. Well he also makes some pretty awesome taco seasonings.
I was making tacos last night for friends...and instead of the normal powder mix...I tried
Frontera Kitchen's Gourmet Mexican Seasoning Sauces.
Um....awesome! I can't wait to try to Chicken Fajita one.
So far I have found the full line at Sprouts...and I found a few options at Randalls. I don't think HEB carries them.
