Product Description
Simultaneously challenging and accessible, The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner is a song cycle about death and dying, people, relationships, optimism, innocence--you name it. On his first two albums, Ben Folds was quick to toss off bombs of blame (most notably on the vitriolic "Song for the Dumped"), but here he aims most of his criticism at the mirror. On the wondrously snarky "Redneck Past" he sings, "My ex-wives all despise me / try to put it all behind me / but my redneck past is nipping at my heels." Apparently he doesn't have a chip on his piano any more. The production is lush and ornate, with strings and horns embellishing Folds's usual quota of to-die-for hooks (which he seems to dash off as effortlessly as postcards from the beach). An obvious point of reference is Pet Sounds, but Ben Folds Five widen their scope to also include hints of Steely Dan, Pink Floyd, and even Queen, whose influence is front and center on the bombastic opener "Narcolepsy," a virtual homage to "Bohemian Rhapsody." Other highlights include "Army," a hilariously detailed indie-rock answer to Billy Joel's "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant." --David Menconi

Granted, it's worth picking it up just for the excellence found on these songs. "Narcolepsy" begins with a bombast, an impassioned plea for help from a person whose life seems empty and dead that he needs to sleep constantly (I can definitely relate to this feeling at times). Crescendos of strings, fuzzy bass, and piano figures swirl back and forth as Folds implores "I'm drowning/Save me, wake me up". Truly impressive and it would've been a great centerpiece to form the album around. They carry the theme strongly on "Don't Change Your Plans," a song of sacrifice and love that treads a fine line between resignation and moroseness, with the horns adding just the right understated touch. Next comes the album's other real coup de grace, "Mess," a song for the hopelessly love-lorn if any. Sounding almost classical/Western in feel, Folds relates his musings on the mistakes he's made and that "I want to be for her/What I could never be for you" and declares he's forsaken from both love and God. Powerful as he leads on to "Magic," a plaintive statement on his affections, imposing drums and pensive piano window-dressing his lamentations. So far, so impressively good.Read more ›
On "The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner", Ben Folds Five shows a vast amount of maturation, both musically (bringing in a multitude of different instruments, and more complex arrangements) and lyrically (the topic of death comes up quite a bit). There are a couple of tracks on here that have that classic, lighthearted BFF feel, but most of it covers new ground. It's kind of a shame that the band split after this (although Ben Folds' solo album, "Rockin the Suburbs", is just as good if not better than this, so it's okay). It is a concept album of sorts, but not nearly as conceptual as something like "The Wall" or "The Final Cut", both by Pink Floyd.
1. Narcolepsy
A BFF classic, right off the bat. It's 5+ minutes, and features a number of different tempo changes. The intro is a long, breathtaking wall of sweeping strings, heavy percussion, and [obviously] piano. The bridge slowly builds up, featuring incredible vocals from Ben..it seems like a perfect ending - but it's not. Another slow building verse in which Ben repeatedly sings "I'm not tired", until the music stops, and a blast of heavily amplified bass hits you like a train for the outro. The soft/loud dynamics are unpredictable, but perfectly timed, and give the song an epic, almost progressive-rock feel.
2. Don't Change Your Plans
And another 5+ minute classic. This one is an absolutely beautiful piece of Burt Bacharach-esque chamber pop, right down to the fluegelhorn laced bridge.Read more ›
It would appear that most people can't handle the change between the earlier stuff, and this more acomplished material. More fool them. From the powerful opening of 'Narcolepsy' through the silliness of 'Your Redneck Past' until the beautiful simple melody of 'Lullabye', this album reeks of cleverly written lyrics, and well-rounded musicianship. Anyone who can equally pull off 'Army' and 'Magic' on the same album gets credit from me. But then, I always have liked them.
Incidentally, I saw them on their last tour - touring this album, and it was quite easily the most entertaining live performance i have ever seen. The silliness was weaved in effortlessly with the outstanding music (much like this album) and Ben Folds Five guaranteed their place at the top of my list..

Philadelphia mayor promises more police and social services
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA- The mayor on Thursday promised more police and social services to help stem a surge in the city's homicide rate, while pleading with young people to "lay down your weapons."
Philadelphia's homicide rate is 7 percent higher than last year, with 226 people slain.
"You are the future of this city. Lay down your weapons. Do it now. Choose education over violence," Mayor John F. Street said in an eight-minute speech, televised live. "You will never regret it if you do, and you might not survive if you don't."
Street said the city would hire 200 new police officers, along with a new 46-member police unit deployed on nights and weekends in areas of high gun violence. Surveillance cameras would be installed in some neighborhoods, he said.
The mayor also said "violence is not just a police matter" and promised increased social services for young people.
The homicide rate during the past six years remains significantly lower than during the 1990s, and major crime is also down, Street noted. "That should give citizens confidence that the administration can and will manage the current spike in gun violence," he said.

New God of War 3 Combat and Boss Details
PTOM cover story reveals a few choice nuggets about Kratos' PS3 adventure.
The July issue of PlayStation: The Official Magazine (PTOM) features God of War 3 on its cover, and inside includes the first new info. on the game since Sony unveiled it back in February.
Kicking things off, lead combat designer Adam Puhl goes into detail on the game's Spider-Man-style grappling ability, which essentially takes the grapple points from God of War 2 and places them on the game's enemies. "At any point, if there's an enemy on the ground, in the air, wherever, Kratos can throw his blades at them, pull himself into that enemy [or pull the enemy over, or toss the enemy left or right], and perform a shoulder ram," he says. "When it hits, the game slows down, so you get this impactful attack, and you can continue to combo after that...the combat grapple is a linker for the entire combat system."
While the article doesn't reveal any new weapons, it confirms there will be four "main" ones in the finished game, so that leaves two (in addition to the blades and the Cestus) that have yet to be revealed. Apparently each weapon will be tied to its own magic attacks, and one of the Cestus' magics sees Kratos "pound the ground to send a massive wave of destruction in front of him," according to PTOM 's Teresa Dun. Puhl notes that magic attacks "will have more gameplay [than magics in previous God of War games]" and that "there'll be more interesting things that you can do" with them."
Another change to the game's mechanics is the addition -- or perhaps I should say rebranding -- of what the game calls "items." Puhl explains that players hesitated to use the Wind Bow in God of War 2 because it shared the same power bar as other, stronger magic attacks, so the developers created the "items" distinction to encourage players to use them more often. Items (such as the previously revealed Fire Bow and Helios' Head) will have their own power bar, which will automatically refill, so there's limited punishment for using them.
PTOM also had a chance to see a few new scenarios from the game for their story, the most newsworthy being the boss fight with Hades. As Dun describes it, the fight takes place in a "circular space" surrounded by souls that Hades can pick up and throw at Kratos, and at one point in the battle Hades tries to steal Kratos' soul from his body in a button-mashing tug of war.
That's it for now, but we'll have much more God of War 3 coverage on Tuesday, when Sony will bring the game by 1UP's E3 setup for an in-booth video demo and we'll get our first hands-on time with the game. Check out our E3 hub page for more details on what to expect from the show.

InterestingPosted: Jun 01, 2009 12:00AM PST by TurkeySamich83
If general gamer wants to write games off before an official release date is even announced let him. Him and others like him have and will continue to miss out on great games(the god of war series is a 'classic' in every sense). His ignorance about games only hurts him. Why waste your time trying to convince someone who thinks Devil may cry 4 is better than GOW? Either he is trying to get a rise out of people or an idiot. Finally the reason the game is taking so long to come out is because they dont want to release a crappy product that doesnt live up to previous installments(including the PSP version, chains of olympus) and little or nothing to do with the hardware itself.
News Bulletin: General Gamer is impatient and RetartedPosted: Jun 01, 2009 12:00AM PST by Killface_4_Pres
I'd wait any amount of time they'd like me too if they are re-making GoW 1 and 2 blu-ray copies to ship with the special edition. I dont see how one person having no patience means its a terrible game, sounds rather ill logical, I think I'll continue waiting and being amazed with what I see and enjoy it when it comes out. Oh and devil may cry is a pretty lame ass game compared to god of war.
LMAOPosted: Jun 01, 2009 12:00AM PST by anubis424
Devil May Cry better than God of War?!? What r you smoking dude? The first God of War was on the extremely extremely few games to get a platnium award in EGM. The second one got a high Gold. The Devil may Cry series got like 3 silvers and one that was not good enough to get a medal at all. Hell go to meta critic and look at the overall scores of the games.
I partly agree with General_GamerPosted: Jun 01, 2009 12:00AM PST by Lord_Yuber
God of War 3 is set to be a great game, not an epic game but a great game and dull games like Devil May Cry 4 will certainly not be better than it.
I agree with General_Gamer on the platforming genre, It is graphics limiting because of all the things that go on in this over the top action game. This is fine as long as the developers find the right balance and assure that the game doesnt look a bit dated.
Now as far as calling this game epic......no. The small brutal scenes between button combinations alone doesnt make the game epic. I have played God of War 1 and 2; both games are impressive but always came off as too simplistic. Moves are likely to become repetitive just like the scenes between them. Its almost like i know what to expect from the very beginning and so it easily becomes a tiring game. All in all they were great games though.
God of War 3 will be good.
Just to say it.......Posted: Jun 01, 2009 12:00AM PST by RECRUDEATH
I love my 360 and never really thought it was worth it to buy a PS3, but I know I'm seriously considering a PS3 purchase so I can get this game. So to say that GoW3 won't impact system sales, is kinda crazy. But then again, I don't care which system a game is on, I just want to play it if it's good.
@ General Gamer/FPS'sPosted: Jun 01, 2009 12:00AM PST by EvolvingTenken
Regarding the limits of a game genre and referring to an FPS are ridiculous. Here is a genre of games that have done nothing to evolve anywhere, except in the graphics department. Essentially, you are playing the same game as Wolfenstein and Doom with a prettier coat of paint. Why the NA gamer loves these games to death are beyond me.
Aside from that fact, I completely disagree that a game such as God of War cannot showcase this generation of systems power. Honestly, you can count the games on one hand on either system that have really pushed the boundaries of gaming this gen but that is beside the point here. I think you are acquainting realism with being better looking and that is a mistake, although you are entitled to your opinion.
Devil May Cry 4 was pretty, but all in all, it paled in comparison to 3 which is the pinnacle of the series thus far. The games are both incredible if you ask me and preferences are the only arguement on that debate.
Either way, this series does and has always mattered and is another great addition to an already superior PS3 exclusive library. Name me another 360 exclusive that isn't GOW/Halo or Prototype right now.
@General_GamerPosted: Jun 01, 2009 12:00AM PST by earlgreyteahot
Sigh. Not this again. Look. Good games take awhile to come out. You can't just say, oh look, PS3 takes too long to develop for. So GOW3 is now not worth it to wait anymore. WTF are you talking about? How about all those multi-platform PS3 games that come out the same time as Xbox 360? Obviously those companies didn't have a problem developing both side by side. Look at Final Fantasy XII release in comparison with the FFX release. We waited nearly the entire console's lifespan to get another one of those.
general_gamer = RETARDPosted: Jun 01, 2009 12:00AM PST by Ssnake
those other games wish they could reach GOWs level of awesome. Sure the combat may not be as deep or complex, but it is still satisfyingly fun. The quick time events are fun as hell, as u get some awesome brutal kills. Dmc's story isnt all that great, ninja gaiden's is crap, and assasins creed is ok, but that game has too much gay boring repetition. GOW has a terrific story, and it has great graphics, and satisfying brutal combat. Ur a dumbass who doesnt know what the fuck ur talking about, get the hell off the GOW article, it is too great for you.
General_Gamer WTHPosted: Jun 01, 2009 12:00AM PST by helghast02
Dude as much as i hate getting into arguments over games, but your logic makes no sense you're saying that ninja gaiden, devil may cry, and assassin's creed are better than god of war? okay lets compare scores fr all the latest games. God of War 2 has a 93% in game rankings and a 93/10 metacritic, while Ninja Gaiden 2 has an 83% in game rankings and a 81/100 in metacritic, Assassin's Creed has an 82% in gamerankings and a 79/100 in metacritic, Devil May Cry 4 has an 84 in both gamerankings and metacritic, so a do the math, and by the way i'm not hating on any of these games i happen to be a fan of all of these series but god of war is just better. about it coming out in 2010 makes some sense but i dont see it by the end of 2010 maybe mid way spring most likely.
Totally worth the wait...don't listen to the other idiot's BS.Posted: Jun 01, 2009 12:00AM PST by benjiedude
I actually had the privilege of hanging out at Sony's Santa Monica studios and catching a short preview of this game being made way back in October '07 when they just started. This game is totally worth the wait, blows away every game people have listed such as DMC4, AC and NG. From the opening scene in GOW 1 this series screamed quality and GOW 3 will close it out properly. Don't listen to the garbage idiot's are spewing. BUY THIS GAME!
@generalPosted: Jun 01, 2009 12:00AM PST by GodHandCooper
my guess is the game will come in march as the first 2 did, and they've been working on this one since the before the 2nd one wrapped up... it isn't like they started the game last year when they first showed it....
Won't be available until late 2010 - Not worth the waitPosted: Jun 01, 2009 12:00AM PST by General_Gamer
Regardless of what Sony or the developers of God of War 3 say at the E3 show, all the industry insiders know that this game will not be available on the Playstation 3 until late 2010, or perhaps early 2011 due to the fact that the PS3 is so time-consuming to develop software for.
I don't think God of War is a game franchise that matters anyways. God of War is not a game that will impact hardware sales of the PS3. Most people realize that games like Devil May Cry are superior to God of War anyways.
When you look at the relative sales figures of previous God of War games, you quickly realize that God of War did not have impressive numbers. Consider that the God of War games were launched on a PS2 system that had 120 million owners and you end up realizing that God of War actually had very disappointing "relative" sales figures. This is the same thing that happened with Killzone -- a game that saw its sequel flop with disappointing sales numbers on the PS3.
Games like God of War are simply not worth waiting for when we can buy superior games like Devil May Cry 4, Ninja Gaiden, and Assassins Creed right now for such great prices.
I agree with the comments below me that talk about how this "style" of gameplay is a genre that experiences graphic limitations because of the way the game is designed. For example, a game like Pac-Man is never going to be able to look as good as a first-person shooter. Similarly, a game like God of War is not capable of looking as good as today's best games. This is the reason why the PS2 version was able to run in 480p instead of 480i. It wouldn't surprise me if God of War 3 ran at 1080p instead of 1080i or 720p, simply because the graphic limitations of that genre.
The simple fact is, this type of genre just doesn't have the impact that it did in previous generations.
@makotsPosted: May 31, 2009 12:00AM PST by Ssnake
how about u just stop being a cheap ass and buy a ps3! dont have 400 extra $$ on hand, SAVE UP. ps3 has proven and continues to prove its more than worth it. 360 is ok, but ps3 is the future of gaming. 360 damn near reached its limit quality wise. Alot of 360 owners know ps3 has great stuff, and yet they stick to their crashbox pleasefixme(cuz they're so far up it's ass or they just dont want to admit it oe whatever it may be). Get both! save up if u dont have the extra cash. That way u get the best of both, who cares about wii that has almost nothing worth mentioning. but no one can deny that ps3 is really shining and has tons more potential than 360.
The fall of a genrePosted: May 31, 2009 12:00AM PST by BlazingAero
This game will likely drive the standards even higher when it comes to the old hack 'n slash. It sounds like they may just be close to maxing out the potential that this sort of game has. Given the detailed art direction and the amount of gameplay "enhancements", it seems like we're on the verge of seeing the same game put out over and over, but with prettier visuals (if we're not there already).
Anyway, this game looks awesome, and I'm eager for E3 to get here already.
technicallyPosted: May 31, 2009 12:00AM PST by earlgreyteahot
Devil May Cry has the superior combo system. Always had. God of Wars has a very nice, flashly and definitely fun system but it's not in-depth whatsoever. The first time I even touch the game I found an infinite loop combo (not that they could survive that long, but if they did...)
What God of War DOES have an edge on DMC, is the storyline and level design. In GOW, you're going all over the place, and these locales are HUGE. Very nicely designed. But in DMC series, you end up usually playing in a drab old castle. Despite both of these games shortcomings, they're still my favorite action games.
@ tunataco....Posted: May 31, 2009 12:00AM PST by kingofwar
Those are ingame graphics Bruno V has verified that on www.gow3forums.com !! Also all the images on the new magazine article http://www.gow3forums.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=808 are verfied by him to be OLD BUILD in game graphics... so I dont see how you can say those are painted.. You can also download the highquality scans from there http://www.gow3forums.com/
I love GOW, but...Posted: May 31, 2009 12:00AM PST by tunataco
What is with the picture? Devs have a habit of release pre-rendered shots that aren't actually in game gameplay, and that's pretty cheap.
What's with the ficken easel? Is this art class? Did he just paint that picture? Is there a French guy in a burette off to the side drinking wine?
Just show the dam game and enough with the cardboard prints... Isn't the game far enough along yet?
I still say it won't be out until Dec of 2010.
Dream on Bastard11Posted: May 31, 2009 12:00AM PST by UltramanJ
Everything about God of War games rock, from the soundtracks, to the art direction, to the gameplay, to the awesome main character, it'a a total package. Bayonetta is a question mark, and not a very interesting one at that. Hopefully it's better than Devil May Cry, which is a franchise thats been going downhill from the first sequel.
I predict a 4th place finish!Posted: May 31, 2009 12:00AM PST by Bastard11
Bayonetta is going to wipe the floor with this game. How can people be so pumped for a game with such a weak combo system and tons of button mashing/QTEs?
Don't get me wrong.. that "scale" trailer actually piqued my interest too but with Ninja Gaiden, DMC, and now Bayonetta all offering actual, functional combo systems and scoring this title has a lot to prove!
It's Happening...Posted: May 31, 2009 12:00AM PST by PS3RG
The PS3 is happening.... it has a FAN - DAMN - TASTIC software line-up already not to mention what will be revealed at E3. If the PS3 does drop down to a $299 SKU, it will be, hands down the best current gen system on the market.
P.S: Project Trico will cause the Universe to implode from its awesomeness.
@legion006Posted: May 31, 2009 12:00AM PST by nobleeskimo
I agree completely. I understand how much work goes into these things, but length could definitely be improved in many cases. That being said, God of War games (aside from Chains of Olympus) tend to be a good size.
Badass!Posted: May 31, 2009 12:00AM PST by GreenLanterns
Good stuff! Kudos for the info! Just can't wait to play this game. And i'm really excited to see what sony reveals at E3

@feelmyrathps3Posted: May 31, 2009 12:00AM PST by theactionf!gure
You DO mean to turn this in to a flame war, because it was completely unnecessary to even bring the Xbox up. And yes God of War III will be awesome.
THIS GAME...Posted: May 31, 2009 12:00AM PST by feelmyrathps3
will be the game to shut up all Xbox fanatics. I dont mean to turn the post into a flame war, but if there are honestly 360 owners out there that claim that "PS3 doesnt have any games" or "Im not jealous of the game" after GOW III comes out, we all know you are lying. GOW I was the shit, GOW II was the shit times 2, and GOW III is the shit times 100 since its in 1080p, on the PS3, and just fuckin awesome in general. Never have I played a game that is so fun the first time around as GOW I and II, although Uncharted comes close. March 2010 cant come soon enough!! Bring on the gods!!
amazingPosted: May 31, 2009 12:00AM PST by MiNdGaMeS
this game is going to be amazing i cant freakin wait GOW is 1 of the best series of all time...i hope its got the feel of the 1st god of war cuz i couldnt put it down...dont get me gow 2 was great but it just wasnt quite as good as the 1st gow and it didnt grab u in like the 1st 1
Cant waitPosted: May 31, 2009 12:00AM PST by slayer0096
i wish this game was out already...this is going to be the best God EVER.

When I was little, my dad bought me a sparkaster (aka rocket knight ) video game. I did played this game ''Domo-Kun Angry Smashfest!'' when I was like 10 years old, and I felt so sorry when I saw sparkaster that he dies in this game. Now I'm 16

No diversity here, low standard, high teacher turnover, nestled in a congested dangerous area. Very little counselor support for students. School is a work in progress. Teachers are in constant fear of retribution from the CEO. Academic expectations for students are low.

I am a parent. My son Keshon has been a part of the wpaces family since he was 9months old. Starting at PeeWee prep daycare center. I love this school. my son entered wpaces in kindergarten and now is currently about to graduate from the 5th grade. Wpaces is a very caring family oriented school. The teachers are very caring and do a great job with the students. Remember no school is perfect and has its ups and downs but overall I give Wpaces an At.. I wish the school went to the eight grade so my son can remain there. wpaces will surley be missed. thanks Mrs.Phillips for all you love and care for the past ten years..

Although my child has learned alot during the past 6 months that she has been in this school, there should be more discipline and organization amongst the children and staff. Kids are always running through the halls and they dont seem to pay any attention to authority. The school seems disorganized as I have more than often received important notices the day before an event. The school grouds are in desperate need of care and the building itself could use a makeover. My daughter will be attending this school next year unless I get a miracle from above and she get accepted to Russell Byers.

This is my child second year at WPACES. My child is currently in the fist grade. I found this is to be so much better than public schools. I am one of those parents that is always at the school constantly checking on my child progress. I have also noticed that my child which is in the first grade is learning the same thing as her older brother that goes to public school, and he is in the third grade. Would I recommend this school to someone ? Yes I would, as a matter of fact when my other child turns five next year I plan to enroll her in WPACES to attend kindergarten.
Hi, my child is fairly new to this school and is in Kindergarten. I heard good things about the school from another parent and through reviews from other parents on the website; and this is how I made the decision to send my child to WPACES. Although, it's been a short amount of time since my daughter started I've already come to the conclusion that she will not be attending this school next year. There are some major safety concerns as well as the way the school is organized and structered. Every morning I drop my daughter off for breakfast children are ripping and running everywhere, screaming and talking to the top of their lungs while the aids or teachers look disoriented about how to handle the situation. There seems to be no organization and if it doesn't get taken care of someone is liable of getting hurt.

As a parent of a first grader, I was a little leery about sending my child to a 'neighborhood school', but after meeting withe the faculty and staff all my fears were completely melted away. The teachers for the most part are very involved and strive to provide not only the basics but positive life lessons also. I would appreciate more field trips for the children though. Other than that, I would whole heartedly recommend WPACES.

My son has been going to this school since kindergarden. I found that not only do the teachers involve themselves in every childs education, but they also provide help when needed. They have the best academic program than the original public school that my son attended. They also have a grandpals program for children that need assistance with reading. They are committed to making sure that all the children do exceedingly well in all areas. They did a testing assessment on all of the children at the school and found that the scores were not acceptable per their cirriculm and they put into affect a mandatory extended day program. The school hours are now 8am - 6pm. The work to provide your children with transportation or a buddy system. I would recommend this school to any parent looking for a highly successful academic school environment for thier child(ren).

The hypothesis of a universal molecular clock holds that divergent lineages exhibit approximately constant rates of nucleotide substitution over evolutionary time for a particular macromolecule. We compare divergences of ribosomal DNA for aphids (Insecta) and Buchnera, the maternally transmitted, endosymbiotic bacteria that have cospeciated with aphids since initially infecting them over 100 million years ago. Substitution rates average 36 times greater for Buchnera than for their aphid hosts for regions of small-subunit rDNA that are homologous for prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Aphids exhibit 18S rDNA substitution rates that are within the range observed in related insects. In contrast, 16S rDNA evolves about twice as fast in Buchnera as in related free-living bacterial lineages. Nonetheless, the difference between Buchnera and aphids is much greater, suggesting that rates may be generally higher in bacteria. This finding adds to evidence that molecular clocks are only locally rather than universally valid among taxonomic groups. It is consistent with the hypothesis that rates of sequence evolution depend on generation time.

While accompanying eight high–spirited Jewish delegates to Dharamsala, India, for a historic Buddhist–Jewish dialogue with the Dalai Lama, poet Rodger Kamenetz comes to understand the convergence of Buddhist and Jewish thought. Along the way he encounters Ram Dass and Richard Gere, and dialogues with leading rabbis and Jewish thinkers, including Zalman Schacter, Yitz and Blue Greenberg, and a host of religious and disaffected Jews and Jewish Buddhists.
This amazing journey through Tibetan Buddhism and Judaism leads Kamenetz to a renewed appreciation of his living Jewish roots.

Read an Excerpt
I joined the stream of disembarking passengers in the Frankfurt airport, bumping and jostling in the narrow corridor to the main concourse.I was nervous, nothing new in itself. Nervous is my religion.
On previous visits to Europe I had always avoided touching down on German soil. Now I knew why. Seeing German on posters put me on edge. So did the voices of German citizens around me. This was nothing I could help, an involuntary reaction, a stubborn prejudice.
The mass of travelers surged into the main concourse and split up in all directions. I wandered around, hoping to bump into other members of my party, who were arriving from New York, Boston, London, and Israel. We were all to meet at the New Delhi departure gate. Near a ticket counter, a man with a briefcase was berating a clerk. My ears pricked up at the sound of his voice. A few syllables of German spoken in anger and already the grainy newsreel was unwinding: Hitler at a podium, the crowds at Munich, goose-stepping soldiers, the crowd responding with a massive Heil Hitler salute. And then, inevitably, the stacks and stacks of bodies ...
But these businessmen and tourists hurrying through the concourse were not storm troopers, and it would have been a stretch to imagine myself as a Jewish victim in striped pajamas. I am a grandchild of immigrants, Jews with the luck to get to America soon after the pogroms opened the long twentieth-century European Jew-killing season.
So I had no rational reason to feel uncomfortable in the Frankfurt airport. Surely these good German citizens would wish me no harm. Why hold a grudge withghosts?
Yet, despite my ongoing turbulence about my Jewish identity, my discomfort was visceral. German posters, German language, German people made me nervous, and I wanted very much to find the other members of my group. I wanted to be with other Jews.
That's when I saw the Torah.
In a crowd of German students, a tall man held it to his chest like a father clutching a chubby toddler. He was balding, with a fringe of wild hair and a thin goatee. With his wire-rimmed glasses and blue serge jacket, he looked like a cafe revolutionary. He was, in fact, Paul Mendes-Flohr, a distinguished professor of Modern Hebrew Thought at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
What surprised me was my surge of joy upon seeing Paul's Torah. It wasn't particularly pretty. It wasn't even familiar-looking. This was a Torah in a tin case, used by the Sephardi Jews of southern Europe, Asia, and the Middle East and meant to be read standing upright on a table. The case was decorated with an uninspired orange floral pattern. Yet it drew me and not just me. From all corners of that vast waiting room, our entire party gathered around it.
A Jewish mystic would have understood the Torah's magnetism. For the kabbalah teaches that the Jewish soul is composed of many brilliant sparks. I like the idea of a sparkling, multifaceted soul, with bright bits of reincarnated rabbinic sages jostling around with earthier types, nightclub owners, and peasants. In a way, the Jewish soul is like an airport concourse, crowded with competing sparks of life. And in that German concourse, even for a rather secular jumble of sparks like me, a Torah still has strong powers of attraction.
As Paul explained later, the Torah had been purchased in Tel Aviv that morning as a gift for the Dalai Lama. It was a printed replica, actually, not a real scroll, but that didn't matter. From the start of our journey it served many purposes. Symbolically, of course, we Jews were bringing our Torah--our wisdom--to Dharamsala. But at a far more visceral level, during a sometimes difficult journey through India, the Torah acted as a magnet, keeping the sparks of our Jewish souls aligned and, some believed, keeping our Jewish bodies safe.
That morning in Frankfurt, as we gathered around the Torah, I felt myself to be an unlikely candidate for this journey. I had hardly ever been what one could call a spiritual seeker. I was deeply interested in Jewishness--as culture and history. But I wasn't looking to Judaismthe religion-for answers to the deepest problems in my life.
I presumed that the participants in this dialogue would have strong religious commitments. I would be standing outside of that.
As for Tibetan Buddhism, I considered myself too stubbornly loyal a Jew to go shopping. I'd never been much for gurus. Were it not for the efforts of an old friend, Dr. Marc Lieberman, it would never have occurred to me to seek spiritual wisdom from a Dalai Lama.
Marc, a San Francisco ophthalmologist, was the first person to ever describe himself to me as a JUBU--a Jewish Buddhist. I've since learned that he is one among many, in a long line that goes back at least one hundred years.
The history of the spread of Buddhism to the West is complex and includes many different strands and influences, ranging from the impact of early translations of Buddhist texts on Emerson and the Transcendentalists to the nineteenth- and twentieth-century immigration of Japanese, Chinese, and other Asian Buddhists. Charles Prebish, a scholar and JUBU himself, has written of two distinct American Buddhisms. One consists primarily of traditional, conservative AsianAmerican Buddhist groups, which, like other ethnic groups, have brought their religion from the old country. The other, distinctively Western, Buddhism is both more innovative and less stable and draws primarily on non-Asian Americans.

At a time when the Jewish people is diminishing due to assimilation ,Kamenetz's work is a worthy effort to confront and dialogue with many different kinds of Jews, in part as way of clarifying his own faith. I personally however would have preferred seeing him take a more confrontational, defensive , and less tolerant tone in his dialogues with Jews who have in effect denied the principle belief in Judaism, the belief in One Creator, One Transcendent G-d.I would have preferred his pointing out how desperately the Jewish people, after the Shoah need each and every individual Jew. In a way it was good to see him saving his own Jewish soul, but I would have preferred seeing him work more actively to Jewishly enlighten others he met on the way.

The best way to get to Guyana!
Pros: The flights were on time both ways, we had friendly air hostesses and the flight crew was very helpful in getting my wife and I seats together when the check in crew failed to accommodate us. The meals and snacks were fine. While the aircraft appeared to be aged, it was comfortable. The fares are excellent compared to that gouging Carib Airline.
Cons: There wasn't anything not to like-no stopping in TT and no snooty high and mighty Trinis to deal with.
