I used to live across the street from Fred Freeman -- in a metaphysical sense, I mean: Fred's mother, Corinne, still residing in the house where he grew up; the neighborhood itself looking much as it had in the '20s, when the first houses were erected, the streets laid out, the sidewalks paved, the hackberry trees planted.
Thanks to reading Growing Up in the Park Cities: Life in the 1920-1940s, his very touching, thoroughly wonderful memoir of those days, I now find Fred more deeply rooted on "our block" than ever before: the block he left decades ago but, strangely, never left entirely.
The imprint of people who have been in a place...really been there, through up times and down; laughing, playing, gardening, breakfasting, sleeping, drinking: such imprints go deep. You don't readily efface them, nor will McMansions, or the demise of the hackberry trees, hide their traces. There remains...the neighborhood. There remains what happened there all those years ago.
Life happened. What you find out, from Growing Up in the Park Cities is how life was lived back when there were still porches and detached garages and rotating sprinklers flinging water on modest if meticulously tended plots of ground. It was the time from the Roaring '20s to World War II, and fires had to be lighted on cold winter mornings. Beds, placed in corners, were angled toward the center of the room for maximum climatic advantage. "[I]f you had a car, there was only one per family. The deep Depression had removed so much money and jobs from the people, and things were so bad that the only way to look was UP! So up we looked with great anticipation for the new and better cars, faster airplanes, and more take-home profit for dear old dad."
There were bicycles with horizontal bars "good for girls to sit on and ride sidesaddle with an arm around your neck." And a game of Spin-the-Bottle, interrupted by the discovery of two eyes at the windows, belonging to the mother of a participant. And 1931 Bell standing model phones, so heavy to hold they shortened conversations. And paper routes "in the fresh air, rain, snow, and ice, 100 + degrees heat or freezing cold." And the Texas Centennial: "a fantastic land of beautiful art deco buildings marching along on both sides of a 700-foot-long reflecting pool of water," with lighting that made night seem like day." And picnics at White Rock Lake -- chips, games, cold drink, and g-i-r-l-s, "a big full moon rising through the trees or across the lake, and with a warm beautiful girl snuggled by your side."
Then the war: the neighborhood left, for a time, to its own devices and divine providence. A stint with the Army Air Corps. Flight school in California and, at last, at long last, the sublime moment, two weeks after the 21st birthday, flying solo for 25 minutes, soloing on three take-offs and landings. Finally to France, the summer of '44, at the controls of a C-47.
I read on with fascination. Yes, and admiration. The "greatest generation" makes its bow, fights through to the end. But all is of a piece: the life before, the life now; the neighborhood merely extended overseas and into cockpits, taken into the skies over Holland and France.
And it is good: good to remember, good to have affirmation of this character; to know all that my neighbor Fred stood for, and his friends and sweethearts during a time like our own and yet utterly dissimilar to our own in so many urgent ways, not all of them economic. Growing Up in the Park Cities helps us stand between these two times and places, and to see, and to learn.
Learn what? Well, this, among numerous other things that concern those times, those people: We have so much more than they had. And we have so much less.
Congressman Roy BluntFor an instant it looked safe to wade back into Washington, that cesspool of corruption created by Tom DeLay and others like him. The effluent seemed to subside with DeLay's abdication and uber-lobbyist Jack Abramoff's guilty pleas. But now, like a sewer line break on Sunday, word flows down from the Hill that GOP House members are poised to name Roy Blunt of Missouri as DeLay's successor as House Majority Leader. Blunt says he has the votes to win.
I hope so. I'm for Blunt, too. I like to see the Republicans step in it, particularly when it serves a public purpose and not merely a partisan one. Unless the Republicans get their olfactory sense repaired before their Party caucuses in February, they are going accomplish this smelly deed all by themselves, meaning they won't even be able to blame Bill Clinton.
Please don't fault me for being uncharitable, which I freely admit to being. After all, we Democrats have stepped in a cow paddie from time to time—although not into a turd of this magnitude in some time—and when we did I never detected any sympathy from the Grand Old Party of DeLay, Abramoff, Pat Roberston, Ralph Reed, Grover Norquist, Jerry Falwell, et al. You know, those God-fearing, law-abiding, reasonable people who are the Republican Party of the 21st Century.
Simply put, I do not know of any other viable Republican representative who comes closer to being Tom DeLay than Roy Blunt. I say there is no other viable DeLay look-alike because potential alternatives like former Republican Congressman Duke Cunningham is on his way to the Uncle Sam Hotel and Rep. Bob Ney (R-Ohio), known as "Representative #1" in the Abramoff court filings, just walked the plank, "temporarily," he claims, on his chairmanship of the House Administration Committee. If he's not forced out of Congress entirely, which he should be, I'll be surprised. Thus, their unavailability whittles the ranks and leaves Blunt as the top contender.
In a previous column, I stated that DeLay and Blunt were joined at the hip; the new boss will be no different from the old one. If the new boss is Roy Blunt, there is ample evidence to support that statement, or, as my dad would have concluded after surveying the landscape, "That looks about right to me."
DeLay brought Blunt into the House Republican leadership in 1999 as his chief lieutenant, then greased his way to the majority whip position when DeLay stepped from there to the majority leader's role. When DeLay was indicted, Blunt assumed DeLay's job as "temporary" majority leader. (Someone needs to tell Ney what "temporary" means in the real world. Ney is fish food.)
From the get-go, Blunt adhered to the DeLay playbook for being a money changer in the temple. Like DeLay, he is a lobbyist's congressman, jetting about here and there, at corporate expense, then voting for the major corporate interests he is literally in bed with. It's really a family affair. Blunt divorced his wife of 31 years (that may make no difference to some of you so-called "family values" people, but it does to me) and married a lobbyist for Altria Corporation, which owns Philip Morris, one of the tobacco giants that have contributed thousands to Blunt in money and air fare. Coincidentally, Blunt's son Andrew is also a lobbyist for Altria, just like his new stepmom was until recently, and for SBC Communications, too, which is also a major contributor to Daddy. Sound a little bit like DeLay, who used the power of his position to pay his wife and daughter from ill-gotten gains?
And then there's those other pesky connections between DeLay and Blunt, like Jack Abramoff, the K Street Project (one of the most pernicious political schemes I've ever seen), the trading of funds between DeLay PAC and Blunt PAC, and the very recently defunct Alexander Strategy Group (ASG), a lobbying firm formed by DeLay's former chief of staff, Ed Buckham, in which both DeLay and Blunt were major stakeholders. DeLay's wife was even "employed" by the firm at a hefty salary, although she performed no substantial work. DeLay's head political honcho, the now-indicted Jim Ellis, ran both DeLay's PAC and Blunt's PAC, and Blunt has given Ellis $10,000 for his criminal defense.
Like DeLay, Blunt filters senior congressional and political aides into the lobbying world—creating tailor-made cahiers for the dispensation of corporate political money and perks to him and his supporters. And like his mentor, Blunt assisted Abramoff in defeating efforts to eliminate sweatshop conditions in the Northern Mariana Islands—conditions that even former right-wing Alaska Sen. Frank Murkowski found so deplorable that he introduced and passed in the Senate legislation to undo this continuing travesty, only to have the legislation run fatally into Abramoff, DeLay and Blunt on the House side. If you want to see what the Republicans are stepping into with Roy Blunt, look at the just-released report by Public Citizen, no slouch of an organization. You can link here for the report.
Republican House members, please elect Roy Blunt as your next majority leader. He deserves it and so do you. Jack Abramoff—in fedora and trench coat, the gangster of the Hill—joined by the Tom DeLays and Roy Blunts—faux hair, face fixes, cigars and dripping with largesse, the Boss Tweeds of our new world: all odiferous names synonymous with corruption. The public needs Roy Blunt, too. It will enable them to better see and smell what's been going on in their town. Maybe they will get a face full of the whoring taking place on their tab and do something about it come November.
Like hogs wallowing in their filth, the Republican House members who support Blunt can't smell the stink because they've been in the sty too long. I'm betting that the American public will not like the aroma.
Tom Delay"Did we [Republicans] change Washington or did Washington change us?"
The question came from Rep. John Shadegg (R-AZ) this weekend, as he was interviewed by news anchor Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday. Wallace was interviewing each of the potential replacements for former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX).
Rep. John ShadeggShadegg's question is a good one. He may be the only candidate in the race for Majority Leader who has not only the courage, but also the desire, to tackle the issue seriously.
Many Dallasites probably have not heard of Shadegg, a congressman from Arizona's 3rd congressional district. Shadegg was first elected during the Republican takeover of Congress in 1994, and he is well known among fiscal conservatives for his commitment to restrained spending, low tax, and small government principles. Although many in Washington have since lost their stomach for the revolutionary principles espoused in the Republicans' 1994 Contract with America, Shadegg never did. Indeed, from 2000 to 2002, he served as chairman of the Republican Study Committee, a group of the House's most conservative Republican congressmen.
But why would a relatively low-profile congressman from Arizona suddenly find himself thrust into the race for House Majority Leader?
Simple. Many perceive that the other contenders in the contest, Rep. Roy Blunt (R-MO) and Rep. John Boehner (R-OH), will not offer the Republican Party the fresh start that it needs in the face of recent bribery and lobbying scandals.
The election of Roy Blunt as Majority Leader would not—could not—be a true departure from DeLay's leadership of the House. To the contrary, Blunt is a protégé of DeLay. He was appointed to the position of chief deputy whip, then Majority Whip, at the urging of DeLay. He achieved the former in 1999, despite the fact that other congressmen then had more seniority and more experience. A May 2005 Washington Post article suggests that Blunt's quick ascent in the chain of Republican leadership was the result of his ability to reach out to D.C. area lobbyists.
Further confirmation of Blunt's close association with the tactics of the DeLay era was heard last September. When Blunt was chosen to serve as acting House Majority Leader pending resolution of DeLay's legal woes, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) described the selection process as "very similar to a battlefield situation where a leader has been wounded and taken out of battle." The party, Rohrabacher concluded, decided to "stick with the chain of command." What makes some Republicans think that Blunt can now abandon the status quo and overcome recent Republican shortcomings?
He is unlikely to do so.
Similarly, John Boehner is an establishment candidate who will be unable to give Republicans the fresh start that they need. Boehner currently serves alongside Blunt as assistant Majority Whip. Boehner, too, finds himself mired in relationships with lobbyists. Consider an action that he took in 1995. As the House debated the possibility of ending subsidies to the tobacco industry, Boehner distributed checks from tobacco lobbyists to congressmen on the House floor. Boehner has subsequently labeled this action "a mistake," but shouldn't we be disturbed that he considered such an act acceptable in the first place?
Additionally, Boehner takes more privately financed trips than most federal legislators. In the past five years, Forbes reports, Boehner has traveled on 31 trips financed by special interest groups. His wife accompanied him on 22 of these trips. Moreover, Boehner's campaign coffers have benefited from the generous contributions of student-loan companies, such as Sallie Mae. Some allege that Boehner has returned the favor by protecting these lenders from the ramifications of proposed spending cuts. Boehner's office denies any relation between contributions and legislative action.
Perhaps the two are unrelated. But, if so, why did Boehner tell an annual meeting of the Consumer Bankers Association, "Know that I have all of you in my trusted hands. I've got enough rabbits up my sleeve"?
The differences among Blunt, Boehner, and Shadegg are stark, indeed. Blunt and Boehner have been intimately involved in recent failures of congressional Republicans: The massive new prescription drug entitlement, out-of-control spending and earmarks, and close ties with ethically challenged lobbyists such as Jack Abramoff. By contrast, Shadegg's connections to lobbyists are limited, and he was one of a handful of Republicans to vote against the massive prescription drug entitlement. Impressively, he refused to earmark funds for his district in last year's federal highway appropriations bill.
Blunt, Boehner, and Shadegg each claim to recognize the need for reform in the House, but Shadegg is the one offering specific and numerous proposals to tighten lobbying rules, limit earmark spending, and change House procedures that have facilitated an out-of-control budget process. Most importantly, he is the one who practices what he preaches about spending restraint.
At least one Dallas-area congressman, Jeb Hensarling, has already endorsed Shadegg for Majority Leader. Hensarling is to be applauded for his initiative and bravery in endorsing Shadegg early, despite (I would imagine) much pressure from House leadership to stay with the status quo.
We should encourage our other area representatives to follow in Hensarling's footsteps. The Republican Party will be put on the road to recovery if Shadegg is given the opportunity to serve as House Majority Leader.
Rep. Bill KefferIn a recent speech to folks gathered in support of the Austin Project, a program for at-risk youth, former Lieutenant Governor Bill Ratliff scolded Texas legislators for failing to raise more taxes in order to provide more funding for various government welfare programs and social services. He employed irony by suggesting that government indeed needs more, not less, religion and cited various biblical passages to support his proposition that a responsible Christian should always choose to raise taxes to fund government programs to help the poor.
Such a belief has been a common rationale for government welfare over the past several decades, with its first significant appearance in Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal and later becoming even more expansive and institutionalized during Lyndon Johnson's Great Society. It is a frequently repeated proposition by those who profess the Christian faith and has even formed the basis for an allegedly Christian movement referred to as the "social gospel." As Governor Ratliff demonstrated in his speech, biblical language is routinely cited as prooftexts for the political proposition that it is no less than a divine instruction from God that Christians should never question and always respond to the government's insatiable appetite for more and more tax dollars, as long as they are for government programs designed to help the poor, infirm, and elderly. Simply put, such a belief is a political misapplication of biblical doctrine and a politically convenient distortion of what Jesus Christ described as the most fundamental rule by which we should live our lives.
This theological error occurs when one mistakenly equates Jesus Christ's commandment for us to love others as ourselves (and the corollary biblical theme of our individual responsibility to be charitable to those who are less fortunate) with a demand by government that its citizens should surrender their money in taxes, so that poverty, hunger, and illness can be addressed through government programs. It should not be debatable that "coercive charity" or "forced philanthropy" are oxymorons.
True charity, which is what the Bible calls us to, is voluntary and offered with a willing and joyful heart and animates the adage that it is more fulfilling to give than to receive. Government-sponsored programs funded by money forcibly collected from its citizens are, in fact, true charity's antithesis.
Given the political realities and the evolving desires of elected officials and the citizens they represent, it might very well be the case that present circumstances demand the existence and funding of various government welfare programs to provide for the poor, infirm, and elderly. In those cases, it then becomes the policymaker's responsibility to vigilantly and constantly scrutinize those programs for maximum efficiency and effectiveness.
But it is emphatically inappropriate and just plain theologically wrong to invoke the Bible and Christian doctrine to support the imposition and collection of taxes to fund government welfare programs. The Bible never contemplates such a proposition, but rather only calls on the individual to practice true charity. So notwithstanding the righteous reproaches of the well-intentioned, it remains a theological impossibility – and misguided public policy - to be charitable with other people's money.

Ho! Ho! Ho! We're in full holiday mode at my house and we've picked up the pace to bake as many of our favorite cookies as we can before Christmas is over. So many to choose from and so little time left! These Butterscotch White Whole Wheat Cookies were next on our list, and although they may not have a fancy name, they sure make up for it in taste. They're filled with butterscotch chips and dry-roasted cashews that create a fantastic salty-sweet combination in each bite. You'll never guess that there's Hodgson Mill White Whole Wheat Flour in these cookies. The texture, a little more robust than white flour but less hearty than Hodgson Mill's traditional whole wheat flour, is spot on. Paired with the chopped cashews, the taste is so mild it nearly goes undetected in the buttery, sweet dough. I knew I couldn't let the season pass without baking up a batch of these tasty cookies!

'Tis the season for all things peppermint: candy, ice cream, hot chocolate – and cookies, of course! These Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Peppermint Cookies are based off of one of my favorite Christmas cookie recipes. I made them a little healthier by adding Hodgson Mill Whole Wheat Flour to the recipe. Getting some whole grains into the cookie jar while also creating a great tasting cookie is always a good idea in my book. This recipe takes everything that's wonderful about chocolate chip cookies and bumps it up a holiday notch by including Peppermint Crunch Junior Mints® and crushed candy canes. I love the combination of chocolate and peppermint – not to mention chocolate chip cookies in general – and this recipe doesn't disappoint. These cookies are also great to make with kids since there are several steps that are perfect for little helpers – just be sure you have plenty of chocolate chips and candy to spare. Read More »
The dough starts off in the usual way with lots of butter, sugar and cinnamon (these are cinnamon rolls after all) and then incorporates some extra ingredients like lemon zest, nutmeg, buttermilk and Hodgson Mill Whole Wheat Flour. Then sliced apples are slowly caramelized in more butter, sugar and cinnamon and are wrapped into the dough with even more cinnamon and sugar. Mouth watering yet? To take these rolls over the top, they're frosted with a creamy, salted-caramel glaze that will make you weak in the knees after one taste. Altogether, these cinnamon rolls are reminiscent of caramel apples in a warm, gooey cinnamon roll form. Read More »
Custard pie is a natural for breakfast (or any other time, for that matter). It's even more of a natural when you replace the sugar with maple syrup, and surround it with this delicious, nutty-tasting whole-grain crust. Deep and earthy Hodgson Mill Rye Flour and the subtle sweetness of Hodgson Mill Oat Bran Cereal and Whole Wheat Pastry Flour are balanced with just the right amount of butter, making a crisp, melt-in-your-mouth crust that cradles the cool, custardy coconut filling. Read More »
Hodgson Mill mixes are great because they're filled with the same ingredients you would otherwise have to measure and mix – real time savers. So, for the sake of convenience and whole grain goodness, this recipe includes Hodgson Mill Whole Wheat Gingerbread Mix as well as some dried cranberries and pecans for a little sweetness and extra crunch.

As much as I love baking pies, they take time that I don't always have around the holidays. Thanksgiving is about spending time with family and friends and sometimes that means I need to take a short cut or two in the kitchen so I can be a part of the festivities. This is where my friend the tart pan comes into the picture. You can make this Pumpkin-Pecan Tart with Whole Wheat Crust in just a few simple steps and have a Thanksgiving-worthy dessert every bit as delicious as a traditional pumpkin pie. Top it with some Spiced Whipped Cream and this tart will fast become one of your new favorite recipes. Read More »
Pumpkin Pie Pinwheels – say that ten times fast. Tongue twister or not, these cookies are like little bites of pumpkin pie. Buttery, whole wheat dough is wrapped around a pumpkin pie filling and then sliced and baked into tender, slightly crunchy cookies. To get the full Thanksgiving effect, a pumpkin glaze is drizzled over the top. Make room at the dessert table for these cookies – they definitely deserve a spot. Read More »
This recipe for Cherry-Chocolate Whole Wheat Bread begins with a box of Hodgson Mill Honey Whole Wheat Bread Mix. The lightly sweet, whole wheat dough is the perfect background for the tart, brandy-soaked cherries and milk chocolate chunks. And Hodgson Mill uses all-natural ingredients in all of its products including this bread mix, so my from-scratch mantra is intact – just simplified. I love it when that happens. Read More »
Soccer season has started and we've had to surrender our schedules to keep up with practices and games for two of our girls. Now we love soccer – my husband is even a coach – and we support our girls and their teams 100 percent, but it is harder to find time to bake on the weekends now. That doesn't stop us from wanting dessert though – namely apple pie. This recipe for Apple Pie Crumb Bars is quicker to put together than traditional apple pie and it includes Hodgson Mill Whole Wheat Pastry Flour, so it's a healthier way to get our dessert fix, too. Read More »
I love the idea of my kids having a homemade cookie treat after school, but I really love the idea of my kids eating a cookie that's made with healthy ingredients. So, as we started collecting what we needed, I reached for my bag of Hodgson Mill Whole Wheat Flour. These cookies are packed with lots of good things, so I knew that mixing in some whole wheat flour would go unnoticed – if I were making them alone. Hmmm… my kids were helping me make these cookies. How would the addition of whole wheat go over? Even though my children know that whole wheat is good for them, sometimes they balk when I add it to certain beloved foods – cookies being one of them. So, with my back up argument about how whole wheat is healthy on the tip of my tongue, I set it out as an ingredient, gave a measurement to my oldest girl, watched her mix it into the dough and… that was it. No one groaned or moaned even a little. Much to my delight, I believe that whole wheat is finding its place in my house – even in cookies. All three of my girls watched the Hodgson Mill Whole Wheat get mixed into the dough and no one blinked an eye. It just goes to show, that including healthy foods in our daily lives makes an impression on children, and instead of being something to complain about, it becomes normal. Very cool. Read More »

If you wanna look for something for game two of the Golden State Warriors San Antonio series. Look for Stephan curry and Tony Parker and how they respond to matchups. Each team had a successful match up for curry and Parker and we'll see always team adjusts. For the Warriors -- Leonard took curry out of the game in the second half. And in overtime and curry had big difficulties scoring and getting around the bigger longer and more athletic Hawaii letter. Mark Jackson is gonna have to figure out a way to get curry on track. With the game on the line. -- for the Warriors Klay Thompson had a lot of success against Tony Parker he gives Parker problems with his life. And he's able to keep Parker front of them the entire game on Monday night changed when Klay Thompson fouled out late and allow Tony Parker to get going. But Gregg Popovich is gonna have to figure out a way to get Parker -- and when Klay Thompson is defending him. Obviously the Warriors blew a sixteen point lead with four minutes ago and that was very discouraging. What you're looking for some positive signs look no further than the Warriors for rookie players. The Warriors are getting contributions from 41 year players in the second round of an NBA playoff series that is impressive. Harrison Barnes continues to be a very comfortable and confident performer down the stretch of games. And he had a multitude of big shots for Golden State on Monday night. -- my dream taken a bigger bigger role for this team. Fast this is really played big important minutes and defending Tim Duncan. And lastly can't base more. Who was almost the hero of the game blocking and Tony Parker layup or wanted -- what could have been the game winning bucket on the other second overtime. The Warriors first year players. Very good sign for Golden State Warriors center Andrew Bogut was once again effective for Golden State in the playoffs. The problem was that coach Mark Jackson didn't have them on the court for long stretches in the second half. So why is that well two reasons Mark Jackson doesn't like using Andrew Bogut when the opposing team is playing without -- setter. And the Spurs played without center for large portions of that second half. Secondly Gregg Popovich employed -- of focus strategy sending Bogut to the lines several times in the first half. And Bogut didn't have success from the free throw line going just two for six it's obvious the Warriors are a better team with -- Andrew Bogut on the floor. Mark Jackson's got to figure out a way to happen there during important points in games what was so troubling about the Golden State Warriors blowing a sixteen point. It's me against the San Antonio Spurs in game one. Is that the same thing happened in game six against Denver but the Warriors were lucky enough to come away with a win. So what's happened down the stretch games. Well one of the issues is that the Warriors are having trouble getting into their offense and executing in the half court when they're there. They're also turned the ball over way too much late in games those Burton is gonna fall in Jarrett Jack and Stephan curry. Each of those guys has to do a better job. Well getting the Warriors in their offense settling the team down and executing and a half court. It's an area where the Golden State Warriors as a team have to improve. If they're gonna win this series.

In the good news/bad news department: Once again Lynn Meyers' good judgment in picking plays with a future for her audiences at Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati has been affirmed. Michael Hollinger's OPUS this weekend earned a Steinberg/American Theatre Critics Association citation worth $7,500 to the playwright as one of the outstanding new plays of 2006. Hollinger was in Louisville to pick up his award, which was handed out on March 31 during the Humana Festival at Actors Theatre. (The top Steinberg prize, worth a heady $25,000 went to Peter Sinn Nachtrieb's dark comedy, Hunter Gatherers, about two seemingly civilized couples descending into the chaos of primal urges. In addition to Hollinger's Opus, Jeff Daniels' comedy Guest Artist earned a citation. It's about a burned-out playwright who visits a small-town theater company to stage what might be his last play. Daniels, a well-known film actor, also manages and writes for the Purple Rose Theatre in Chelsea, Mich.) OK, so what's the bad news? Well, you've missed seeing Opus.
Its final performance was on April 1. One more reason why you should trust Meyers to select a season that's worth seeing, even if you haven't heard of the titles before. Typically, more than half of ETC's subscribers have renewed before Meyers announces her next season -- that's a real vote of confidence. Not to mention an eagerness on the part of serious theatergoers to see high-quality new plays. ... By the way, if you're interested in new plays, go to CityBeat's Arts & Music blog (citybeat.wordpress.com) to read my assessment of the new works that were presented at Actors Theatre of Louisville's 31st annual FESTIVAL OF NEW AMERICAN PLAYS. It's generally thought of as the most important showcase of new stage works annually. ...
I often write about graduates of UC's College-Conservatory of Music (CCM) who go quickly from Cincinnati to Broadway. If you're interested in a sneak preview, stop by CCM's Patricia Corbett Theater on Thursday, Friday or Saturday for TIME & TIDE, a new revue created by the 2007 graduating class of musical theater majors. It offers a whimsical look at the passage of time, including Broadway tunes like "The Circle of Life" from The Lion King (a touring production of which is onstage at the Aronoff center right now with CCM grad DAMIAN BALDET in the cast). Showcases have become an annual vehicle to present the talented performers to casting directors and agents in New York City. According to musical theater department chair AUBREY BERG, "The showcase provides a valuable start for young performers. In a single day, they are seen by more industry professionals than they could meet in a year." The showcase in New York is April 12, but to prepare the students will perform for Cincinnati audiences this weekend. Thursday evening it's a benefit for the Friends of CCM. (Tickets for this event, obtained by calling 513-556-2100, are $75; pricey, but the Friends support students significantly with scholarships and grants). Friday and Saturday evening performances are free, although seating is limited and reservations are necessary: 513-556-4183. ...
CINCINNATI SHAKESPEARE COMPANY recently announced its 14th season. The first show of the 2007-08 season will be Romeo and Juliet (Sept. 7-Oct. 7), followed by the seldom seen Cymbeline (Oct. 19-Nov. 11). For the holidays, we'll see A Midsummer Night's Dream (Nov. 30-Jan. 6, 2008). The CSC Studio (Jan. 25-Feb. 10, 2008) offers two existentialist classics, Beckett's Endgame and Sartre's No Exit featuring veteran actors GILES DAVIES and JEREMY DUBIN. DREW FRACHER will direct Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie (Feb. 22-March 16, 2008). And then two actors known for playing Scrooge at the Playhouse will be featured: BRUCE CROMER takes a run at King Lear (March 28-April 20, 2008); and then JONEAL JOPLIN portrays actor/tyrant father James Tyrone Sr. in Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night (May 2-25, 2008). He'll be joined by local favorite DALE HODGES. It's a powerful season. Info: www.cincyshakes.com

Check the condition of the plugs against the guide in the Haynes manual to show mixture. have it serviced properly if you don't feel confident and the beast shall arise.

Transgender Day of Remembrance
Post your comment

Reader comments
Just to hammer home the point another murder is reported today:
Transsexual In Italian Political Scandal Found Dead:
Abi, that murder would appear to be politically motivated in light of recent scandals rather than a transphobic attack but it's of course chilling to read about this murder today of all days…
"According to transgenderdor.org, it is estimated that 117 trans people worldwide have been murdered this year, although it is expected the actual figure is higher."
We are talking about living, breathing, talented and innocent human beings here, not just numbers.
My deepest sympathy goes out to members of the families of these victims of hate-crimes, and my warmest friendship goes out to all you wonderful Trans, especially you Lady T.L.P. Love you xoxoxoxoxo
I have been attacked many times for being myself, a transsexual woman. We are a constant target of blind transphobia from the uneducated and ignorant within society.
"According to transgenderdor.org, it is estimated that 117 trans people worldwide have been murdered this year, although it is expected the actual figure is higher".
Perhaps it would be appropriate to mention the thousands of human beings murdered worldwide due to hatred, life does not just revolve around the unnatural.
Anonanon, I think the only thing that's unnatural is to not feel any compassion when our fellow human beings are killed.
The only thing unnatural is the sick bastards can do this to another human.
Cynthia Nicole
Location: Comayaguela, Honduras
Cause of Death: Shot 3 times in the chest and once in the head by three unknown men driving a blue car in Barrio Guaserique, Comayaguela, near Tegucigalpa.
Date of Death: January 9, 2009
News sources believe that the killing of Cynthia Nicole may be related to her legitimate human rights activities, in particular her involvement in the defence of the rights of the transgender community.
Unidentified Transgender person
Location: Bursa, Turkey
Cause of Death: Decapitated
Date of Death: March 22, 2009
Her head and sexual organs had been chopped off and tossed in a dumpster.
Cesar Torres
Location: El Paso, Texas
Cause of Death: Blunt Force Trauma
Date of Death: July 9, 2009 Cesar was 39 years old.
An autopsy report says Cesar died from blunt force trauma. He had cuts around his eyes, broken ribs, a broken nose, a ruptured liver, wrenched neck and several stab wounds.
I'm not one of your regular readers – and the first I'd heard of the Remembrance event was when I met some people on the train last night who'd been to it! What they had to say made me come home and Google to learn more. I just want to say that it is indeed horrific what some self-righteous bigots will do to their fellow human beings – but it's incredibly sad that the mainstream media didn't see fit to cover it.
Hi there jackie yes you will not read about it much in the news but at least you know and you have talks with your friends and then there friends and so on, So on behalf of one Transsexual me thank you Lady Tanyax
I attended my first Transgender Day of Remembrance event in Adelaide, Australia. One of my friends in transitioning and I have recently met a number of transgender people and I am sure learning a great deal. We had a ceremony of remembrance and then had a dinner together. It was wonderful that people from all walks of life and all genders came together for the evening. I have been very moved by the stories that I have been told by transgender people and I agree the media should be doing more to educate the community about such issues.

Considering the plethora of investment options available today, it is understandable that a new investor, with limited knowledge and experience, will get overwhelmed. However, if done methodically, financial planning becomes quite simple for a new investor. Although the one-size-fits-all model doesnt apply here, a general set of steps could be followed by all new investors.
You can take the liberty of spending in the first year: When you have just begun working and income has started to flow in, saving and investing are generally not on the top of your mind. You would wish to buy things you had wanted for long, but could not afford with the pocket money you got as a student. You might want to buy gifts for your parents or relatives. Or, you might want to travel and experience new places.
While it is often said that the earlier you start saving, the better it is, it is acceptable if you spend freely in the first year of your career. For a young person, the desire and freedom to spend is of great importance, and anything which curbs this becomes an object of hatred. Hence, if saving and investing are thrust upon you right from the start, you become averse to them later. You have not yet benefited from the money that you have earned and many desires remain unfulfilled.
So, it is not wise to talk about things like finance and financial planning at the beginning itself. You can take the liberty of splurging during the first year, so that at the end of the first year, most of your wants are more or less fulfilled. After you have settled into your job and enjoyed spending your own money, you can start getting serious and look at planning your finances.
Learn various aspects of finance: It is easy to take the help of a financial planner. Although this is a more professional and organised approach, you must also get your own hands dirty.
Understand the basic concepts of saving and investing, and also how each investment avenue works. Appreciate the positives and negatives of every asset class. You can refer to the internet, newspapers, personal finance magazines and books and also attend personal finance forums to improve your knowledge. When you are clear about the fundamentals, you can easily understand the various happenings in the market and also what your planner is telling you.

Essay topic - Compare and contrast at least one premodern author and one modern author.
Throughout the course of philosophy 101, there are two philosophers that has had a significant impact on my view of philosophy. Yes these two authors are from different timeframes in history, but they have gained my immediate attention faster than any other authors. The premodern author I will be talking about in this essay is Aristotle. The modern author I will be talking about in this essay is Descartes. Suprisingly, these two authors have many views that are both easily different and some comparable even though they are from different era's.
Throughout this course I have been more of a Descartes follower due to the fact that my views can be related to his. Descartes view on philosophy would be revolving around happiness. He is most famous for dealing with Princess elisabeth and his image of the philosophy tree. In my eyes, Descartes' writings' always consists of a goal. This goal should be triumphed in his eyes in order to achieve happiness. In his writing you learn that he has a message to tell everyone including some of the most famous people that I will later talk about.
I would see Descartes as a very peaceful human being such as Ghandi. His writings teach us that the meaning of life is one to achieve happiness. He talks about peace and tranquility. This can be related to me as a stated before towards my religion. My religion is Hinduism where all we seek is peace and happiness in life and what Descartes' writings teaches us is the same along those lines. He uses philosophy as a remedy to clear our minds or heal us from something harmful such as if we had a disease there are medicines to relieve our sickness.
Descartes tries to imply to us that in doubt of our failures there are always a way to fulfill happiness in this life. He wants us to believe in ourselves and tell ourselves that everything will be okay as long as you try to make it...

The One World Hotel, Petaling Jaya,
ushered in the Chinese New Year
recently with a traditional lion dance performance by 20 members of the Malaysia Khuan Loke Dragon and Lion Dance Association troupe.
The performance was organised by the
One World Hotel to entertain staff and guests, and also to bring luck for the year ahead.
As guests crowded the hotel's driveway to stake a good spot for the event, the dancing "lions" visited the hotel's various administrative offices, wishing the staff good fortune in the Year of the Horse.
"We organise this event every year to bring luck to the hotel, and it's like the hotel is being blessed.
"Lions go through every office, blessing
them so that we can have a smooth year and to give the hotel staff peace of mind," said One World Hotel general manager Ho Hoy Sum.
"We spend a handsome sum of money on this event, which we consider to be auspicious for our year!"
After the "lions" finished their tour, staff lined up in front of hotel chairman Tan Sri Dr Teo Soo Cheng, and his wife to see the "lions" dance for him and his wife, before moving to high stilts for the crowd to see.
As the troupe's cymbals, drums and gongs roared throughout the audience, the lions performed a series of complex acrobatic steps while flinging mandarin oranges into the crowd from their mouths.
After unfurling flags to wish their audience a happy new year, amidst a burst of red and silver confetti, the "lions" leapt down from their platforms to close the performance by handing over of a 'platter of prosperity' to the chairman.
The crowd then rushed inside as Ho lit two streams of firecrackers much to the glee of all the children in attendance.
"We love putting on the lion dance every year, it's a treat for our staff, and is always an experience for our foreign guests, who might not have seen anything like it before," added Ho.
"We always like performing for the hotel. We are very busy during Chinese New Year touring around the country. But we are happy to make time in our busy schedule," said troupe performer Choy, adding that they had been together for 20 years.

1.) Original plans to follow-up the 3-D re-release of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace with re-releases of Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith later this year have been canned. Official word is so Disney and Lucasfilm can now concentrate solely on rebooting the franchise with Star Wars: Episode VII, which J.J. Abrams was officially announced as director over the weekend. Yes, I think we are all together in realizing that makes no sense, especially since 3-D re-releases are essentially free money, but perhaps that's just the image they weren't interested in putting out there on top of the fact Phantom Menace didn't exactly perform too well. [Deadline]
2.) Brad Bird's next film was originally going to be titled 1952, but Disney sent out a press release yesterday announcing it will now be known as Tomorrowland. There are no plot details outside of rumors the story will be UFO related. The script was written by Damon Lindelof and Bird from a concept by Lindelof and Jeff Jensen, George Clooney is set to star. The film will hit theaters on December 1, 2014.
3.) Pierre Morel (Taken) is in negotiations to direct Sean Penn in the action-thriller Prone Gunman. The film, based on a Jean-Patrick Manchette novel and a script by Peter Travis, centers on an international operative named Martin Terrier (Penn) who is betrayed by the organization he works for and must go on the run in a relentless game of cat-and-mouse across Europe. [THR]
4.) People seem to be getting more and more excited about the upcoming Evil Dead remake and news yesterday broke when director Fede Alvarez tweeted the following:
@WoozyTribe Was proud of scoring a NC17 when submitted! But we had to cut stuff out to get an R and get the film into theaters.
— Fede Alvarez (@fedalvar) January 28, 2013
The reason for the R rating has not yet been released, but I expect I'll have it in my next MPAA bulletin or the one following that.
5.) Looks like Warner Bros. doesn't have the utmost of confidence in their upcoming Justice League film, and perhaps rightfully so after screenwriter Will Beall's Gangster Squad wasn't exactly praised for its plot line. Nevertheless, in an article at Variety the trade writes: "Warner's top brass has indicated that they are awaiting the results of Man of Steel, which opens June 14, before moving further ahead." Outside of the Batman films, especially those directed by Christopher Nolan, Warner's ability to release quality films based on their DC Comics product has been lackluster to say the least and I wonder if going to the superhero team-up immediately without building a brand, a la The Avengers, first is a good idea.

central bank is trying to convince traders not to overreact to the
gradual decline in asset purchases. Many expect the Fed to take a
more dovish stance this month after fears of rising short-term

It sure is no Vegas or Dubai, but Jordan is bringing four more luxury hotels to the region
Four new five-star hotels in Amman and Aqaba, which are scheduled to be operational by early 2016, will create about 1,800 jobs, according to a leading hotelier.
The four hotels will have about 1,000 rooms, Michael Wale, president of Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Europe, Africa and Middle East told The Jordan Times in a recent interview.
He noted that two of the hotels are located in the capital and the other two are in the port city of Aqaba, some 330km south of the capital.
"There is great potential for the hospitality sector in Jordan, which proved to be resilient in the face of challenges and difficulties the region is going through, and the opening of the four new hotels is testimony to a rising interest by tourists in Jordan's tourism attractions," Wale said.
The hotels, which are currently under construction, include The St Regis Amman that will feature two 16-storey towers and 260 guest rooms and suites; the W Amman Hotel located in Al Abdali area; the Westin Saraya Aqaba; and Al Manara, a Luxury Collection Hotel in Aqaba featuring 200 rooms, including 31 suites, according to the hotelier.
"There is a significant rise in [the] number of tourists coming from East Asia to countries in the region, including Jordan, which is a reason why we believe that Jordan enjoys great potential for attracting more tourists due to its stability and the availability of many tourism attractions, including Petra and the Dead Sea" Wale said.
Although the region is going through difficult times at present, the situation is temporary and tourism will flourish soon in the area, especially in the Kingdom, he added.
"We believe that Jordan has many interesting destinations that are attractive to tourists from all over the world, and expectations for the hospitality sector in the country are high."
Commending the quality of human resources in the Kingdom's hospitality sector, Wale said the majority of those employed at the hotels are Jordanians.
"There are well-skilled human resources in the hospitality sector and this is very crucial to its development," he added.

Believing the impossible and conspiracy theories
Los Angeles, CA - Distrust and paranoia about government has a long history, and the feeling that there is a conspiracy of elites can lead to suspicion for authorities and the claims they make. For some, the attraction of conspiracy theories is so strong that it leads them to endorse entirely contradictory beliefs, according to a study in the current Social Psychological and Personality Science (published by SAGE).
People who endorse conspiracy theories see authorities as fundamentally deceptive. The conviction that the "official story" is untrue can lead people to believe several alternative theories-despite contradictions among them. "Any conspiracy theory that stands in opposition to the official narrative will gain some degree of endorsement from someone who holds a conpiracist worldview," according to Michael Wood, Karen Douglas and Robbie Sutton of the University of Kent.
To see if conspiracy views were strong enough to lead to inconsistencies, the researchers asked 137 college students about the death of Princess Diana.
The more people thought there "was an official campaign by the intelligence service to assassinate Diana," the more they also believed that "Diana faked her own death to retreat into isolation." Of course, Diana cannot be simultaneously dead and alive.
The researchers wanted to know if the contradictory beliefs were due to suspicion of authorities, so they asked 102 college students about the death of Osama bin Laden (OBL).
People who believed that "when the raid took place, OBL was already dead," were significantly more likely to also believe that "OBL is still alive."
Since bin Laden is not Schrödinger's cat, he must either be alive or dead. The researchers found that the belief that the "actions of the Obama administration indicate that they are hiding some important or damaging piece of information about the raid" was responsible for the connection between the two conspiracy theories. Conspiracy belief is so potent that it will lead to belief in completely inconsistent ideas.
"For conspiracy theorists, those in power are seen as deceptive-even malevolent-and so any official explanation is at a disadvantage, and any alternative explanation is more credible from the start," said the authors. It is no surprise that fear, mistrust, and even paranoia can lead to muddled thinking; when distrust is engaged, careful reasoning can coast on by. "Believing Osama is still alive," they write, 'is no obstacle to believing that he has been dead for years."
