The Nation's Pulse
Is Highbrow Rock an Oxymoron?
Mixing pretentiousness with popular music.
Radiohead, repeatedly dubbed "best act in the world today" by Q magazine, are touring the United States. The quintet played the Verizon Center in the nation's capital last week, leaving Washington Post critic Chris Richards to observe, "No other rock band in history has asked us to shush and pay attention quite like Radiohead."
Does he write this as though that were a good thing?
"Fans kept their eyes locked on [singer Thom] Yorke's every shimmy," he explains. "But they did so very quietly, maintaining a reverent hush that felt alien at a rock concert of this size. When one fan let a whoop of admiration escape from his lungs during the piano ballad 'Codex,' you could hear it across the stadium. It was immediately followed by another dude yelling, 'Shut up!'"
When Little Richard announced rock 'n' roll's arrival by shouting "awopbabaloobopbalopbamboom," he didn't expect the audience to sit quietly. Early rock 'n' roll attracted a crowd because it invited mass participation. It provoked helpless teenagers to leave their seats, sing, dance, scream, and do everything else forbidden in schools. Quiet contemplation is for museums.
Perversely, that's where Little Richard's music can be found today, in a gallery in Cleveland called the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Like a Radiohead concert, museums demand quiet, respect, attention. There's a clear line between art and audience. Herky-jerky movements or sudden screaming can get you removed. It's all very fascist.
Rock music becoming more like that bad idea in Cleveland is a reason why rock music isn't very rocking anymore. MTV does reality television. Rolling Stone is a celebrity magazine. Your local rock radio station has switched formats.
There is precedent for an audience exodus once mass art reimagines itself as high art. In Highbrow/Lowbrow: The Emergence of Cultural Hierarchy in America, Lawrence Levine documents the transformation of Shakespearean theatre, among other phenomena, from mass entertainment to high culture. It turns out 19th century Americans preferred "Richard III" to pretty much everything else.
The theater balcony, like the grandstand at a sporting event or the floor of a non-Radiohead rock concert, witnessed raucous behavior. "Ticket holders, a New Orleans judge ruled in 1853, had the legal right to hiss and stamp in the theater," Levine informs. "Audiences of the period seemed fully prepared to heed this advice and exercise their rights." They cheered favorite actors and booed their rivals. Riots sometimes put the exclamation point on bad performances. At a staging of Othello in Albany, a boatsman confronted the actor portraying Iago: "You damned-lying scoundrel, I would like to get hold of you after the show and wring your infernal neck."
Highbrow/Lowbrow theorizes that an art form's status has more to do with the conduct in the seats than the product on the stage. "With important exceptions -- particularly in the areas of sports and religion -- audiences in America had become less interactive, less of a public and more of a group of mute receptors. Art was becoming a one-way process: the artist communicating and the audience receiving." What an artist did to gain respectability came at the price of popularity.
Certainly pretension predates Radiohead. One can go back to 1971's benefit concerts for Bangladesh for an early hint of this. The artists gathered to save the refugees. The fans came to hear Bob Dylan, two Beatles, and Eric Clapton play live.
Rather than get that, the rowdies in row fifteen got, at least initially, a lecture. George Harrison, introducing his friend Ravi Shankar, explained that Indi music was "a little bit more serious than our music," so concert-goers must "settle down" to get into it.
"This is a type of music which needs a little concentrated listening," Shankar reiterated. "And I would request you to have a little patience." The fiftysomething sitar player explained, "Through our music we would like you to feel the agony and also the pain and a lot of sad happenings in Bangladesh and also the refugees who have come to India." He then, in proto-Michael Bloomberg fashion, implored Madison Square Garden's hordes of seventies teenagers -- who certainly didn't buy tickets to experience agony, pain, and sadness -- "to refrain or stop from smoking as the program is on."
Wasn't sitar music an invitation to start smoking something?
One senses an audible relief once George Harrison kicks into "Wah Wah." Perhaps the Hindu religious music was an English showman's trick to further frustrate the energy he wished to unleash with his electric guitar.
Radiohead, as anyone familiar with "Creep," "Let Down," or "Fake Plastic Trees" can attest, unleashes pent up energy, too. But the group's descent into robot music of blips and bleeps practically insists upon an audience of robots, i.e., slaves. That's not the Little Richard liberation that initially made rock 'n' roll so popular.

Hello there,
Well, this is my one of buddy's favorite places for Vietnamese. I been here several years now and the food is pretty solid. Parking is good...they have it on both sides of the restaurant. We tend to avoid rush hours so 7pm or 8pm is just fine with us. Yes, the place is run down and dingy...looks like it was once a Mediterranean restaurant in its previous incarnation. Spotty utensils...sometimes but you can clean that with hot tea and a napkin. Service is a bit robotic but the food comes out pretty fast.
My favorites:
1) Special large pho and one spring roll combo ( on a chalk board in-between 2 sets of doors as you walk in). I usually order No.5 Pho Tai Nam (rare and cooked slices of beef) or No.6 Pho Tai Gan (rare beef and tendon) or No.9 Pho Chin Gan ( cooked beef and tendon) and comes with the usually garnishes. The spring roll is standard fare but keep in mind its on a Chinese type wrapper and not the rice version. Caveat..funny thing I don't drink the broth here...a tad much MSG in the base but for $8.50.... great deal for such a large portion.
2) No.24 fairly large salad rolls(Goi Cuon x2) with shrimp and pork for $6 bucks...a good split pay item...same with No.18 (Cha Gio x2) for $5.75.
3) No.29 Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio good size bowl dish of one spring roll, grilled slices of lemongrass pork with rice vermicelli and pickled veggies for $8.50.
4) No.32 Com Cari Bo Vietnamese style curry beef and steamed rice. Semi-tender to tender beef brisket with(looks like) frozen peas and carrots for $8.50.....again large portion...good enough for 2 meals if you want.
So, for a quick cheap meal..stop here. Most of the menu items are under $10 bucks. Payment?? ....usually easier just pay the front end cashier than wait for the bill to arrive (hint hint). They take cash and debit. Thanks for reading.
We are regulars at Pho Hong. Despite the dirty seats and dingy ambiance, we like the food. If you can look past the worn out decor and unfriendly bordering on rude service, the food is quite good, especially compared to other choices in the area. We usually get the deal with the large pho and spring roll for $8.50. Not a bad deal, serving size is really good compared with other restaurants nearby. However, I can't stress enough you have to look past the dirtiness - many times I've had caked on food on my tea cup or greasy chopsticks.
A previous reviewer called this the best pho in Burnaby and I have to agree. After a long absence from town the first thing I needed was a big bowl of delicious pho. I was not disappointed.
I had the BIG pho with beef brisket and my beloved dining partner had the small pho with brisket and tendon. The beef was tender and tasty and the broth had a distinctly beef savour, and no MSG that I could detect. Best of all were the noodles, which were slightly chewy and cooked perfectly. I Also enjoyed a spring roll, which was about a 7/10.
The decor is a bit dingy and could use and upgrade. The staff are all business and not exactly what I would call friendly, but I came to eat, so the ambience wasn't a huge issue. If you focus on the superb pho, this is not a problem.
After trying this joint twice in 2 days I can say this is a good place for a pho.
Pho Hong is by far my favorite place to eat Vietnamese food in Burnaby. Although they have many items on their menu, my favorite is definitely the Bun Bo Hue (sp?) which is the spicy pork rice noodle (spaghetti-like noodle). Other items I really enjoy here are the chicken rice dish, spring roll w/ vermicelli, and obviously the pho. Everything is under $10 and there menu includes tax.
The ambiance is a little dark (it used to be an Italian restaurant) and beware if you're heading there for lunch on a workday. You'll return to work smelling like onions and broth.
Dropped in this Sunday evening because of all the good reviews in Dinehere. Everything okay but nothing special. The broth not up to scratch as compared to other pho joints. Too cloudy and bland. Prices seem to be lower than others and I liked where you could order sides such as bean sprouts, more meat, or noodles for $2.00. Observed the staff at work, efficient but not a smile amongst them. All had that dour and grumpy look. Passable but for me it's the Pho Hoa 4 blocks west.
Food:i had the small #10. decent size for a small. tendons, tripe, brisket was good, but there was this fatty flank which i didnt enjoy too much. i think next time i just wont have the fatty flank. had the pork/shrimp salad roll which was kinda bland had it not been for the peanut sauce.
Service: typical. nothing extremely bad nor outstanding.
Ambiance: decor is a little strange b/c it use to be a greek restaurant i think but doesnt bother me.
Overall: the pho was pretty good except for my choice of the fatty flank. i'd come back for the pho should i be in the mood.
We dined here based on the positive reviews of some of the patrons. We've visited this location in the past but didn't find anything so special about it. This time I thought maybe they have improved. Normally, we always go to their other location in Fraser St which is still the best PHO in Vancouver. We were seated promptly and our order of pho came in very quickly. The portion is big and come with lots of meat (LARGE BOWL is $7). On our first bite we can tell that something is not right. First, the soup is bland and lukewarm, .. and it's about to get worse, ...you can smell the rice noodle packaging! Now the beef brisket is dark in color and tough. I wonder how old is this beef been sitting in their freezer. In summary, my wife is very mad at me for taking her to eat there. My point is if you care so much about quantity than quality, then this place will fill you up for a small money. But if you like good quality pho...you better go elsewhere, Pho Thai Son in Broadway is pretty good but the best is Pho Hoang in Fraser.
The pho here was good. Excellent broth and noodles, meat was a bit tough. Service was there. However, the place is a dirty dump. I don't mind a bit of whatever here and there, but this place is covered with a sheen of grease that bothered me throughout my meal. I couldn't even bring myself to look at the banquette, but I know it was moist and sticky. I know, if a place is a dump on the outside then the kitchen must be as well. Probably right, but we were committed to the meal and too hungry to be bothered to leave and seek out another.
I've given this place a fair shake, I've been here maybe four times, but it's deteriorated to the point of no return visit by me.
Okay, so I am on a mission to find the best bowl of bun bo hue. I used to eat at this pho place quite regularly when i worked in Burnaby and had previously stated it was the best pho place in Burnaby and I still stand by that comment. However, I had never eaten Bun Bo Hue until last week.
I ordered the large bowl, and once again, the restaurant did not disappoint...it was a huge bowl. Loaded with noodles, cooked just right, not too mushy and not too firm. The broth seemed quite oily and had lots of spicy looking bits floating in it. It was loaded with beef brisket, pork slices, vietnamese ham and beef pork balls. No pork knuckle or blood here...
When I went, it was 10 am and it just opened, so I was the first one there. It took a while for the bowl to come, which normally comes within minutes when it is busy in there, but that's okay, the wait just made my dining experience even better.
Overall, i would rate the bun bo hue here at 8.5/10. I know this actually ties it with Pho Tau Bay in my previous post, so how can two exact scores produce a 1st and 2nd place???? Errrr....I don't really have a good explanation, so I'm not going to try to give a bad one....just go there and try it for yourself and you'll agree.
Server is quick to take your order- too quick I'd say. The last few times I've been there, they come up to the table almost immediately after you sit down. Then they come back to try again 2 minutes later. Then if you still don't give them an order, they leave and forget about you. Luckily it isn't too hard to wave someone down. The food comes out very quickly. The pho soup is amazing- the large bowls are $6.50 and you get so much food and it is so tasty. I think the spring rolls are great too. Decor could use some updating
Usually i order Bun Bo Hue which is the spicy beef/pork noodle in soup. DELICIOUS! You can smell the lemongrass and spices and broth is so delicious and comforting. You can get a special deal for a large pho and spring roll for $7.95! I can honestly say there are better restaurants that serve up Pho in Vancity but this Burnaby establishment is great for those not willing to make the travels to Vancouver. Service is good the waitresses are usually on top of things. Ambiance is lacking and the interior needs a major clean up but who cares if the food tastes good and your in and out in 30 mins?
I totally agreed that the staff are not friendly. I don't think they know how to smile. The booth seats are dirty and not the prettiest decor.
We go here often cause my kids love the Pho.
We were there on a friday night because I didn't want to cook. My son has a nut allergy and order the lemongrass chicken with vermicelli . We know that they sprinkle peanuts on top of this dish.
We told the waitress that he has a nut allergy and don't put nuts on his dish. She didn't really seem to acknowledge that I had made that statement. So I said it again and she nodded her head.
Our meals came and my son started to eat his food. After a few mins he started to feel tingly around his mouth and lips. He stopped eating and we asked the waitress about the nuts and she said, NO NUTS.
My son traded his meal with my husband. When my husband took a bite he found a peanut in the food. Asked and showed the waitress and she was "shocked" to see the peanut! She didn't offer a solution. So we asked to order another pho. At least we were not charged for the lemongrass chicken meal.
The place was packed around 1 pm. There were still many seats available. We were sat right away. The table cleaned right away. Waving down the waitress to get our orders taken required a bit of effort. The food came pretty fast and we got our beverages came before the food came. When the food arrived, the waitress placed the dish incorrectly. The rice for my lemon grill chicken were mushy and the chopped lettuce were not fresh. The lemon chicken was the only part that went right as the dipping sauce tasted bland.
My impression of the service has gone down. The waitresses were not very friendly. The waitress lack to care about customer service. When my friend asked for the bill, the waitress took the receipt and appear not happy that we requested for the bill. Anyways, I will be hesitant to come back to this place.
Been here several times. I feel that the Pho is pretty good. Better than than Pho Hoa down the street. It's a nicer place in here, although it could be cleaner. Their washrooms need definate attention.
I don't understand what is wrong with the people that run this place. Why have a business, especially a restaurant of all things, if you're going to be rude to your customers and never check on their table. They never offer you anything, or ask if you need anything else.
The place is alright inside. The price is reasonable. But like the last reviewer mentioned - they need a whole staff makeover. It's obviously a family-run business.
See subject line. Enough said.
Evidence here:
They then gave me two salad rolls for free, but quite frankly, I had no appetite to eat anything. Place is poorly ventilated as usual. Washrooms are surprisingly clean, but that's not saying much...
It isn't my favourite Viet place but it's my mom's so we can't complain. Pho always tastes delicious because of their stock.
Lemon grass chicken with rice is also good
If you're looking for a place to spend $6-8 per person on a solid viet meal, look no further
I read the reviews and thought - why are all the Pho Hong employees leaving bias reviews here? For the record, I am NOT a Pho Hong employee and I do not speak one word of vietnamese (except Phnom Penh, good chicken wings, but that's a whole other review to come). I decided to see what the fuss was all about so decided to check it out tonight. All I can say is, WOW GOOD PHO! I ordered the large spicy beef and pork pho (#14, the round noodle as stated by epicurious, who I do not know). Although it was not really spicy at all, the bowl of noodles was delicious. The beef was tender and it tasted like a pot roast done in a slow cooker for 10 hrs, the pieces just broke apart. Unlike Pho Hoa, you actually get a large when you order a large, plenty of noodles and meat. Pho Hoa just gives you soup. And to top it off, it only cost $6.50, tax in. I didn't think it would be that busy on a Sunday night but place was packed, which is always a good sign. Definitely will tell my friends about this one. The only thing I suggest to them is to get rid of the red carpet in the dining area and replace it with tile.
If you're in a rush, I timed the delivery from ordering 2 bowls of pho plus springroll to the table on a Sunday night at around 6pm. 3 minutes!! That's including the time it took the waitperson to walk to the kitchen and drop off the order.
The pho isn't spectacular. The noodle is forgettable and the soup's just very salty water with a bit of broth. The meat is decent though and I quite enjoy the beef tendon and omasum.
The portions are about right, prices include taxes at $6.50 small and $7 large. Quite a bit of Thai basil they give you as some places really scrimp out.
Service is always great-- very prompt! Get a table right away, tea and utensils are ready and good attitude considering a pho place.
All in all, I'd recommend it if you're in the area and need a quick meal.
Went here on a monday afternoon for my usual fix. I have been going to this location for years now so it is my go-to pho place during the day.
Food: The pho noodles and the meat is always decent, not bland nor too plain. I love the beef soup broth. The spring roll I get always crispy, not too oily.
Service: Average service, kinda hard to wave down a waitress if the place is packed but normally it is ok. Funny how you have to go up to the front to pay your bill instead of the waitress giving it to you at your table.
Value: Love their daily special of a large bowl of pho and 1 spring roll at $8.50. Can't go wrong with this price at all.
Verdict: Will always be a patron at this pho place. My rating is 8 out of 10.
My title pretty much sums it up... I started coming here about 2 years ago, and I've been about 15-20 times...
Well, it's been consistent... Consistently quick and friendly to serve and seat you, consistently miserable, sour, bitter looking servers,,, they walk by, throw the menus on the table while looking the other way, and dump off the food when it's ready.... Never, and I mean NEVER come back for a quality check or to see if you want to order anything else... The person who take your money is ALWAYS very pleasant at the counter... I used to laugh about the way they talk to you as appalling as it was, but I soon got tired of it.... Especially after the 1 time when they were busy, they only had LARGE tbles available and they sat 2 of us in a large table (there were a few large tables available bu no small ones), served us tea and took orders, then when a small table opened up, the sharply told us to get up and move... Yes seriously... There were other empty large tables open, and the rush was ending, but no, we HAD to move...
Consistently they bring your food out FAST, like the other reviews say, it takes like 3 minutes, even when they're packed.... And the place in consistently busy... Likely because the pho is pretty darn good... BUT the place is pretty dirty, and it's gotten worse and worse... It's getting to be almost a dump... The bathrooms are bad, and there is grime on the walls...
Bottom line, a full on cleaning and an overhaul in the servers attitude would do this place wonders... As it stands it's charm is gone with us... Not likely to hurry back and return...

America should be more sensitive to the fact that Nigeria feels that unprecedented firepower is required to protect itself and to prevent their country from being overrun by radical jihadists. We ourselves have spent over a decade in large-scale wars overseas, disrupting terrorist networks and overwhelming them through force regimes that harbored groups threatening our national security.
The United States has a vital strategic interest in ensuring that al-Qaeda cannot establish strong footholds in Africa, establishing bases of operation that in the short-term may target mostly Africans but in the long-term come back to harm us as well.
Given the strategic implications of the fight now underway in Nigeria, the United States should be looking for additional ways to assist instead of publicly chiding the government there. America is correct to want human rights respected even as fighting continues, but many legitimate questions can be raised as to whether we have done the same in battle when our soldiers and our citizens have been the ones under fire.
Regardless, any concerns America may have about Nigeria would be better hashed out among the allies in private. Instead of making critical statements in the presence of journalists, whose reports then filter out with rapid speed all across the globe and become unhelpful headlines, we should look to influence Nigeria's behavior through building trust and credibility. Ironically, that is the same recipe for success that America is recommending to the leadership in Abuja as it confronts the challenges of succeeding on the battlefield against terrorists while simultaneously winning over hearts and minds.
In private we should be frank with our allies about what we expect, but when we embarrass them publicly we work against our own interests by emboldening the terrorists. Rather than leading Boko Haram to question the degree to which America stands with Nigeria, we should be sending the strong message that Nigeria's war on terrorism is supported by the greatest military force on the planet.
Nigeria is fighting an existential battle to keep its nation intact and to combat the same twisted and radical Islamist terrorism which has targeted the United States and continues to threaten our national security. America should give Nigeria all the help it can.

Dear Amy: I've been married coming up on 50 years. My wife strayed from our marriage bed on several occasions and, frankly, never satisfactorily explained to me why. In any event, she decided to stay married. We have gotten on well together for years and successfully raised two fine children.
My daughter wants to throw us a 50th anniversary party, at which she wants us to repeat our wedding vows. I find this to be a terrible idea.

There is no competition here. Use what you prefer, but the BTZS file does not do the same. It does not work with 31-step tablets and requires much more user interaction (more inputs), and I did not find it that easy to use.
With the WBM spreadsheet, you enter the data on the first page, enter the effective film speed on the last page, and you're done. You don't have to read anything off the graphs and enter it numerically (except for once). This relies on some matrix evaluation in Excel and is probably the reason that Open Office doesn't work with it, because it does support it. The final results are also not the same but very similar, except for film speed.
I was asked to do this, and I did. It is not a competition to BTZS. It's a different approach, but you are right, it needs more documentation.

Shadowed by War: Building Community Capacity to Support Military Families
Huebner, Angela J., Mancini, Jay A., Bowen, Gary L., Orthner, Dennis K., Family Relations
The context of military service has changed greatly since the events of 9/11. The forward deployment of service members to active war zones, which involves the issues of separation, time away from home, and eventual reunion, increases the vulnerability of their families to multiple, negative short-term and long-term effects. This article explores these issues and suggests a new approach to building support systems to support these military families. To this end, a capacity-building framework is introduced, and 4 diverse and innovative social action programs consistent with this approach are highlighted. Implications for implementing the community capacity-building model are presented.
Key Words: community capacity, community support, deployment, family support, military families.
The worst time is when the phone rings because you don't know who is calling. They could be calling, telling you that he got shot or something. (Global War on Terrorism, 13-year-old son of Army Soldier; Huebner, Mancini, Wilcox, Grass, & Grass, 2007)
The forward deployment of service members to active war zones, which involves the issues of separation, time away from home, and eventual reunion, increases the vulnerability of their families to multiple, negative short-term and long-term effects. Although it is difficult to place a positive spin on family issues associated with war and its aftermath, the U.S. military has an impressive human service delivery system in place that is designed to support families and thus lower their chances of experiencing problems and dysfunction. In recent years, the military services have discovered the broad power of community - as botti encompassing and distinct from the formal human service deUvery system - as a resource for supporting mUitary famines and helping them cope effectively with adversity and positive challenges (Bowen, Mancini, Martin, Ware, & Nelson, 2003; Hoshmand & Hoshmand, 2007).
There are three parts to our discussion of building community capacity to support military families in the shadows of war. First, we present demographic information and research findings on military families that provide a context for the current discussion. This research is relevant for understanding the nuances and challenges of providing support to military families. Second, we present a community capacity-building social action model, which informs expanded program models that include attention to community partners and resources. Part 3 is an elaboration of programs now in the field designed to support military families who reflect this community capacity-building approach.
According to the Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (2005), more than half (55%) of active military members are married and about 43% have children (40% of whom are younger than 5 years). There are two types of data that reflect key aspects of the circumstances of military families in today's Global War on Terrorism: deployment and death/wounded in action. As of November 2007, there were 162,000 troops deployed to Iraq (Reuters, 2007) and 26,000 to Afghanistan (Whitlock, 2008). About 1.5 million service members have spent service time in Iraq; about 500,000 have served two tours of combat, 70,000 have served three, and 20,000 have been deployed five or more times (Olson, 2007). Given that deployment tours can last up to 1 5 months, many military personnel have been spending more time overseas than at home. From March 2003 through February 2008, 3,965 U.S. military members died participating in Operation Iraqi Freedom and 29,320 were wounded in action (Defense Manpower Data Center, 2008). From October 2001 through February 2008, 478 military members died participating in Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan, the Philippines, Southwest Asia, and other locations) and 1,867 were wounded in action. How much or when these operations may change remains undetermined at this point; however, the issues of deployment and the risk of injury or death remain defining elements of military service (Tanielian & Jaycox, 2008). …

To be honest I wanna see a fight between maybe... two masters at breaking the Fourth Wall.
Completely Inaccurate. That version of almost never took off her glove because she almost always lost control of her power when she did including the instance where she touched Juggernaut that you yourselves chose to highlight..If your going to chose the version of Rouge that is notorious for losing control of her powers then you have to be true to it in your interpretation of the battle. There is a future version of Rouge that has much better control over her powers but then that version doesn't have any of Ms. Marvel's abilities so she wouldn't likely survive one punch from Wonder Woman. You warped the facts and combined two separate versions for Rouge Its clear you guys have an affinity to Marvel but Wonder Woman is practically the Queen of DC. There is no version of Rouge that would Win against her.

Entitled "Ancient Wisdom for Modern Times", the two 4-day programs, will be conducted by Mr. M. K. Ramanujam of Global Organization for Divinity. Mr. Ramanujam is a well-known professional public speaker, an insightful spiritual instructor and disciple of His Holiness Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji from Chennai, India. Both events are free and open to the public. A light dinner will be served daily following the programs.
The first program, subtitled The Path to Inner Transformation, will be held at
Sri Meenakshi Temple (Ganesh Temple Hall) at 17130 McLean Road, Pearland, TX 77584
Sunday, November 22 to Wednesday, November 25
4-6 PM Sun and 6-8 PM Mon-Wed
Ancient Hindu scriptures, interestingly, present a way of intelligent living for the modern lifestyle. This lecture series will unveil these secrets and dwell on practical means to fight the ills that bug today's life like lack of attention, stress and internal conflicts. It aims to address questions like "Is life supposed to be constant strife and conflict? Are we capable of leading sorrow-free lives? What is the true potential of our minds?"
The second program, Practical Spirituality for Everyday Life, will be held at
Shri Shirdi Sai Jalaram Mandir's new location at 13845 West Bellfort, Sugar Land, TX 77478
Thursday, November 26 to Sunday, November 29
The emphasis here will be on answering questions like "Who is a Guru? Do we need one? Why be spiritual? How to apply spirituality to our worldly lives? What is the secret to developing true love? How to cut asunder the bindings and obsessions that govern the mind?"
Both the programs will include guided meditation sessions and emphasize practical, simple, proven techniques to attain true freedom. The events are co-sponsored by Sri Meenakshi Temple and Shri Shirdi Sai Jalaram Mandir respectively, along with Global Organization for Divinity.
Mr. Ramanujam is an expert in Hindu philosophy and scriptures, with a style of speech that is witty, engaging yet thought-provoking. His speaking engagements have taken him throughout the world including USA, UK, Australia, Nigeria, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and the Middle East, apart from the length and breadth of India.

The trouble is: Vince Fable ain't the guy to lead a bonfire of the red tape.
Don't you just love politicians? They seem that think that all that's required for growth is for politicians to talk about it.
I always think it's simple - how big was government during the Industrial Revolution? http://www.ukpublicspending.co.uk suggests that unless we were at war, government spending was comfortably less than 20% from 1700 all the way up to WWI
Nick Ridley at the DTI: "Nothing to do and 20,000 to help me do it"
But doesn't growth need a sound transport infrastructure, a healthy and educated workforce and a reliable legal dispute system. The public sector is more important for growth than it is convenient to acknowledge currently.
Correct Kipper.
Oh dear. You don't need to be a red flag singing, card carrying Socialist Worker to see where the CBI are heading. Cut the 'red tape' (every the rabid right's mantra for unbuttoning raw capitalism) and give employers free reign to slash costs and undermine working conditions. Of course he's pushing at an open door as far as Cameron's lieutenants are concerned. I don't say this often, but thank god for Brussels.
(The SWP did have a humorous line in chants, though. Remember that old favourite, 'One More Cut, Thatcher's Throat?'. Seems quaint now she's the bronze-plinthed Mother of the Nation, invited to tea by Blair & Brown.)
But a nation state does not have give away vast swathes of governmental powers to an unaccountable body, nor oceans of cash, 16bn per year, to the EU. American readers may be interested to read how UK MPs, including government ministers, voted against seeking any reduction in the UK's annual tribute tax to the EU, see the Hansard record of the debate in the House of Commons, 13th October.
And US readers should know that the UK electorate has been promiised a referendum on the terms of UK membership of the EU by all political parties, election manifesto promises that have been broken, brazenly. At least the US does not have a majority of its MPs keen to collude with this chicanery and disloyalty.

November 30, 2015
A Texas A&M student who tried to break tradition by being the first female Yell Leader is facing charges for theft.
20-year-old Samanta Ketcham is charged with stealing two bait bicycles from the campus.
She was arrested May 13th after Texas A&M University Police say the bicycles, which were being tracked with GPS, were discovered in her dorm room.
Last week the Brazos County Attorney charged Ketcham with two counts of misdemeanor theft.
If convicted she could face up to six months in jail or even up to a $2,000 fine.
Her mom Cheryl Ketcham told us in May her daughter thought she was picking up friends' bikes and helping them out by putting them in her dorm room.
A court date has not been set.
She was released from the Brazos County Jail May 14th after posting $6,000 bond.
Ketcham was briefly a finalist for Yell Leader this spring but ended up not being elected by students.

And a belated Happy New Year.
While I was off carousing with my Auntie E and family in Augusta, Ga., Putnam County was busy celebrating the swearing in of new county and city officials.
For Palatka it was a double celebration -- swearing in ceremonies on Monday and Happy Birthday wishes for the city on Thursday.
Vice Mayor Mary Lawson Brown and Commissioner James Norwood both won re-election. Mary's children and grandchildren showed up to lead the pledge of allegiance.
During the regular City Commission meeting on Thursday, festivities continued with the 156th birthday for Palatka.
Begun as a trading post, Palatka has also been the site of a Seminole Indian Wars fort before becoming incorporated.
Do yourself a favor and head for Crescent City on Sunday for the 13th annual Women in Music & Art.
It features artistic and musical talents from local women and always offers some surprises.
The event is in Howe Memorial United Methodist Church's Fellowship Hall at 252 S. Summit St. from 4 to 6 p.m. The art display is at 3 p.m.
There is no admission fee, but contributions are appreciated and go to the Crescent City Junior-Senior High School Art Department.
And as you know, Esme Coward has developed a wonderful art department with lots of talented students. She'll have a dozen of her students displaying works this year.
The GFWC Crescent City Woman's Club puts on the annual event.
Among musicians scheduled to perform are Faith Handbell Choir, Nicole Crosby, Diane Lavendar, Ashley and Judy Jackson, Ladies of Harmony, Rusty Bowman, Dee Harbin, Catrine Chase and Ashley Wallace.
Artists scheduled include Freida Garland, Betty Van Trump, Angela Tischler, Diana Alexander, Myra Lord, Beth Carter, Betty Sutliff and Shirley Bennett.
Myra Lord says she's expecting about 18 more performers and artists.

The mouse is the Despereaux character of book and movie fame. There will be readings from the book, trivia contests, soup recipes, word puzzles and a special soup.
Youth Services Coordinator Darlene Walker says there's no stove in the library, so the soup she's improvising is ice cream. (Could be she'll be seeing some of us older readers.)
The free program for children and teens is presented by the library and the Putnam County Library System and begins at 10:30 a.m.
The library is at 601 College Road in Palatka For info or to sign up, call (386) 329-0126.

Parsley Smashed New Potatoes

DescriptionMedieval / Fantasy is a setting that attempts to exclude technical and scientific achievements which came into prominence around 15th century and later, drawing inspiration from the Middle Ages in Europe (end of 5th - 15th centuries) and usually extending the time period in case of other cultures (China, Indian, Islamic Age, etc.). Supernatural elements (e.g. wizards, monsters, demons, etc.) are very frequently represented in games with this setting. Many such games treat their European medieval roots very loosely, and may include steampunk, modern-day, or even light sci-fi elements, mostly focusing on the "fantasy" part of the setting.

FILE- In this Thursday, April 23, 2009, file photo, Jerald Vance, 50, is silhouetted as he waits to talk to a job counselor at a Nevada Jobconnect Career Center in Las Vegas. An Associated Press investigation released in January 2013 found that millions of mid-skill, mid-pay jobs have disappeared over the past five years and have been replaced with technology. That experience has left some economists to worry that the sluggish, lopsided labor market of the past five years will continue as smarter machines and niftier software will continue to replace more and more midpay jobs, making businesses more productive and swelling their profits.

Here's the January 2015 declutter calendar with a daily 15 minute decluttering and organizing mission for each day of the month.
Remember, here are the ground rules:
1. Work for 15 minutes to declutter and do the mission listed, and if you need to work longer, and have the time, go for it. However, don't feel obligated to.
2. Print off the printable version of this calendar if you want to post on your fridge or some other area of your home to remind you what the daily mission is. To print it off scroll down on this page and click the picture of the calendar itself, or click the link directly under the calendar which says, "click here to get your printable January calendar."
3. You can also follow me through social media, including Facebook, Google + and Twitter, to get a daily reminder of the day's mission.
Plus new this year, I've created a Declutter 365 Facebook group that you can join to get more reliable Facebook notifications of each day's missions, plus comraderie from others who are also working on decluttering.
4. If you're loving this month's calendar (which you can get below without subscribing) you can get the entire 2015 declutter calendar, all 12 months, by signing up for the newsletter.
Currently the entire calendar is only available to subscribers, although January 2015 is available for everyone.
5. Once you've accomplished any one of these missions you can share your photos of what you have decluttered with me in the Getting Clutter Free Hall of Fame.
Plus, get some inspiration from the quote of the month, below.
Here's a printable version of the calendar of daily missions that you can use. To print it is easy. Merely click on either the image of the calendar itself, or the words below which say, "click here to get your January Printable Calendar" and a new window will open with the PDF.
Please note there are ads on this page. If you are asked to download something to get this calendar you've not clicked on the right thing. There is nothing to download to get this PDF!)
Click Here To Get Your January Printable Calendar
(opens into a new window, as a PDF)
You asked and so I delivered. I've created a Facebook group called Declutter 365 which does exactly what it sounds like. It follows along with the free 2015 decluttering mission schedule I've created and posts each mission, daily, to help remind you of the challenges and missions, and keep you on track.
You can also get the February decluttering missions here (including printable calendar).
I would love to hear from you, sharing your thoughts, questions, or ideas about this topic, so leave me a comment below. I try to always respond back!

Read the signs.
Zero gallons to the mile
Haven't checked in a while, but you used to be able to get airport diagrams with gate numbers online. That might help you get the lay of the land.
Almost anybody in uniform knows exactly where you are and where you need to go.
Mirona is right. I am assuming that you are changing flights?
Depending on the airline, they usualy have an agent standing at the gate when you get off the plane, just walk up to them and tell them where you are going, they will tell you which gate to go to and the fastest way to do it (sometimes you have to catch a train).
Also, listen up as your flight gets close to landing, sometimes the flight attendants will announce the connections and their gates, so you will know before you get off the plane (just be careful as that can always change).
In your seat pocket in front of you (don't I sound like a flight attendant?!), there should be an airline magazine and in the back will be maps of most major airlines. If you know the gate you are flying into and the one you will need to get to, that map will be helpful.
And if that isn't enough to help you out, there will be monitors all over the place, just look up your flight and find the gate you need to go to. the signage at airports is usually pretty good, but if you get confused, ask anyone in uniform.
Safe travels!
oh, and one more thing and this is the mother in me...don't mess around! FIRST find your connecting gate, and after you get there, if you have time, then you can go get a snack, browse the shops, call everyone you know on your cell phone, whatever. And you must call your mom/dad/grandma/whoever will be worried about you, when you find that gate! we will all be worried!!! :-)
Where am I going?......
....and why am I in this handbasket?
Also, since you are pretty young, many airlines will assign someone to you and make sure you get to where you are supposed to be.
There's three terminals, A, B, C. C is only continental airlines I think, so if thats not what you're flying, you'll be in the other two. http://www.nwa.com/travel/images/EWR2.gif
Don't hold me to this, but for terminals C and A or B, the gates are on the third floor, and baggage claim and passenger pick up is on the ground floor (just follow the mass of people leaving the plane, usually works for me) so you gotta go down two flights of stairs. You can usually find out what terminal you're flying into the day of your flight.

It is officially fall. At least, it's not really summer any more. I won't believe in fall for sure until the day I put on a sweater in the morning and don't take it off by noon. I love fall, but I am sad that the entire summer has ended without two of my favorite summer traditions: a really good watermelon and a really good peach.
Cooler weather is on its way, and I hope you and yours are enjoying the exciting and busy time of fall. Football, fall festivals, school and other activities are in full swing, and I imagine some weeks go by in what seems like a blink of an eye. But, this fall brings us another important event: the election of our next governor and our statewide constitutional officers. I encourage everyone to register and exercise your precious right to vote. The election is Nov. 3, so make plans to cast your vote.
It may still be early in the school year, but some of the "report cards" the state uses to measure academic progress have already begun to arrive. In general, the news for Kentucky is good, although there is still much room for improvement. Perhaps the best example of that can be found in the growing number of high school students taking and passing Advanced Placement tests, which provide college credit if the score is high enough.
By Carrie Bridgman
When you say the word, "we," whom are you thinking of? It depends on the context, of course. Most of us spend our time with varied groups of people: family, fellow students/colleagues/participants in some program, people who are paid to serve us (doctors, mechanics, salespeople, etc.), and friends with whom we share interests. How many people in your life fit into each of those categories?

What book would you swear your Oath on?
On Liberty
4 (28.6%)
The European Convention on Human Rights
5 (35.7%)
A traditional religious text (Koran, Bible, etc.)
1 (7.1%)
A less Traditional religious text (Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, Principia Discordia, etc.)
1 (7.1%)
Something Else which I shall detail in the comments
3 (21.4%)
I'm not sure what the rules are for courts, these days. I suspect they're a bit more stringent than parliament. I know most courts let you choose a religious text if you are going to swear by almighty God to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God, but I don't know if you get a book to hold if you're affirming, or what they do with people from polytheistic faiths... Google gives me an article about the situation in Norn Iron and a .pdf of what happens in courts martial, but nothing concrete on English law other than lots of people saying it needs reforming...
