I'm past my best, but aren't we all?
Published 04/08/2014 | 02:30
It becomes more and more difficult to be a best man as you get older. At a certain point in the life of a groom, the kind of "hilarious" stories a best man might have shared at a earlier stage of life become inappropriate. Indeed, at my time of life, all the duties and rituals of a best man become inappropriate. After 40, you get set in your ways, you can't really do the whole drinking thing with the same gusto, and you do not want to wear any suit that isn't your own.
But I had one more ride on the merry-go-round recently in what I would imagine was my last outing as a best man. And the thing is that, apart from being unseasonably old to be the best man, I entered into the whole thing with one other fatal handicap. Which is that I have grown to hate weddings down the years. I kind of dislike organised fun of any kind, but weddings make me feel especially trapped. I hasten to add that this recent wedding was a great day out and I enjoyed every second of it, as far as I am aware. Even the aged relatives on both sides, who can often be problematic at a wedding, were a bit of crack.
The other problem with weddings at this hour of my life is that, like anyone who has been married for a great deal of time to the same person, I can tend to be a bit cynical about the whole cuteness and foreverness and lovey-dovey nature of it. People getting married look so happy and they think it's the beginning of a great romantic adventure. And of course it is. And the two people getting married on this recent occasion were two fabulous, fun people. But you know how it is, when all the eternal love and bunny rabbits starts, the married people in the audience tend to take it all with a pinch of salt.
Sure, they mention 'for better or for worse' and 'in sickness and in health', but those little words really give no hint of the rollercoaster that lies ahead, of tragedy and hardship and all the rest of it. Neither does it take any account of how uniquely two people who are married can annoy each other. People who are married can annoy each other in very special and intense ways, often by doing nothing at all. Or at least by seeming to do nothing at all. Unless you're in a full-blown abusive relationship, most of the aggression in marriage tends to be passive. You always need plausible deniability. So you stealthily push buttons and then adopt a 'Who? Me?' defensive approach. When you do issue an apology in these circumstances it is the politician's apology of, "I'm very sorry if anything I said caused anyone to take offence." Which is another way of saying, "I'm sorry that you're CRAZY and HYPERSENSITIVE."
But on the wedding day we old hands really try and put all that aside and feel the love, and the joy, for the happy couple. And indeed, at this recent one, even the most cynical old hand could not have been moved by the lovely intimate ceremony in the beautiful Unitarian Church. I have to confess I didn't even know my friends were Unitarians up to this point, but each to his own.
The major issue was really the speech. With the best man's speech there is an expectation that you will portray the groom as a wild and crazy guy. This is fine when you are young and when the groom is not a wild and crazy guy. You say that despite the fact that he is an accountant he once lost his shoe on a drunken night out and he is mental, and everyone laughs, safe in the knowledge that he is not.
But what do you do when the guy is not so young and has an actual past? Nothing scandalous mind, but hilarious nonetheless. What do you do when you are spoilt for great stories but it really isn't appropriate to tell them due to the demographics of the bride and groom and the crowd? Well then, my friends, what you do is you agonise for weeks, and then you do a 'Seinfeld'. You make a speech about a speech about nothing. You take the template for a best man's speech off the internet and you take the piss out of the template, with the odd hint of what you could say. But, really, you say nothing, and everyone laughs with relief and says that was a great speech.
Because everyone knows that the truth is that we are too old for this malarkey.

Predicting severe simultaneous recessions using yield spreads as leading indicators
Severe simultaneous recessions are defined to occur when at least half of the countries under investigation (Australia, Canada, Germany, Japan, United Kingdom, and United States) are in recession simultaneously. I pose two new research questions that extend upon stylized facts for US recessions. One, are the occurrences of simultaneous recessions predictable? Two, does the yield spread predict future occurrences of simultaneous recessions? I use the indicator for severe simultaneous recessions as the explained variable in probit models. The lagged yield spread is an important explanatory variable, where decreasing yield spreads are a leading indicator for severe simultaneous recessions. Both US and German yield spreads act as leading indicator for severe simultaneous recessions.

World Brands Australia a 100% owned Aussie company, is refocusing as one of Australia's innovative beverage importers.
Whilst World Brands Australia Pty Ltd has had a hiatus of the last three and a half years whilst its director Paul Wormley aided Westons Cider with their Australian sojourn, it will now greatly increase its portfolio to reflect the high demand for craft beers, ciders, spirits, liqueurs and non-alcoholic drinks here in Australia.
Ladies and Gentlemen it gives us the greatest of pleasure to announce we are now the official importers of Big Sky Beers into Australia.
These great beers are brewed in Missoula Montana and are highly acclaimed throughout the USA.
Made somewhat famous for their iconic "Moose Drool" these beers are expected to take Australia by storm.
With quirky labels and tongue in cheek graphics they cannot be missed.
We presently have in the park, Moose Drool dark ale, Scape Goat pale ale, Big Sky IPA & Trout Slayer Wheat Ale.
Be sure to hunt them down at any half respectable liquor store.
This product is no longer available.
World Brands Australia is in the fortunate position to have been allocated 48 cases of the St Austell Smugglers Grand Cru 750ml limited edition beer.
It will be available from mid-late October.
This is an exceptional beer and very very special indeed.
Expect something roasty, toasty from St Austell's man with the Midas touch, Roger Ryman. An advocate of Cornish barley – he's now sourcing over half his needs from Cornwall – Roger has created a feisty dark brew.
St Austell Brewery scoops national beer 'Oscar' for second successive year
St Austell Brewery is celebrating after its Proper Job IPA scooped the title of Champion Bottled Beer of Britain at the UK's biggest beer festival.
St Austell was the only Cornish brewery to win a Gold medal at the prestigious Great British Beer Festival held at Earl's Court exhibition centre in London yesterday (Wednesday, August 2 2011).
World Brands Australia is proud to be the first company in Australia to be the official agent and distributor for Brains Brewery, St Austell Brewery and Inveralmond Brewery.
These three UK breweries represent all that is great about all facets of the UK beer market.
We are extremley pleased to be introducing these three breweries into Australia. It is a pleasure to be dealing with professional and ethical companies and we look forward to showcasing such wonderful beers.
World Brands Australia sells ciders.

In pursuit of the Highest TruthYoga: A brief overview
Dr. Minati Mishra
Yoga means union and the aim of yoga is to make one achieve a state of union into one's own nature.
Sage Patanjali in his yogasutras describes yoga as the restraint of the fluctuations (vrittis) in mind.
The vrittis prevent mind from resting in its true form, which are described to be of five types - direct knowledge, errors, imaginations, sleep and recollections.
Yoga: Contexts and the Contexture
Dr. Haramohan Mishra
The word yoga, literally meaning "union", has multiple layers of meanings acquired through ages, extending a vast expanse of time beginning with the Veda to the present time. Around a central concept, different contents got accumulated which are meaningful in their respective contexts. Yoga is not solely some physical practice, as it is commonly mistaken, nor is it a part of some religious rites.

Knowledge is the eye of all
We perceive the things of the world, conceive them, evaluate their usefulness and agreeability to our senses, form some conception of value, try either to accept them or reject them depending upon their agreeability to us, thus, think that our sole purpose of existence is confronting the things of the world, even though in some rare moments, we feel as if transcending the world.
We do this in many different ways, in innumerable manners, relevant to our countless situations and different idiosyncrasies, peculiar to each of us. These processes have become automatic and spontaneous, and hardly we have time to reflect on what we are doing. It is time to pause a little and think over the validity of our ideas and perceptions, to try to discover our own reality in the web of life and ascertain the purposefulness of life and existence.
Who am I? Why am I here? What is the world that we experience?
The answer remains hidden in the depth of our own being. Let us reflect, seek, contemplate and find it.

Adultery: A User's Guide
Good news. The Promethean Theatre is a young company to watch, and its debut production of Orange Flower Water is as exciting as it is promising. Directed by Margaret M. Ledford with a keen eye for detail, the local premiere of Craig Wright's intense domestic drama treks through familiar territory with a good traveler's eye for surprise.
Wright delivers, Ledford's cast is game, and a simple plot of adultery and betrayal packs a punch and always rings true. The setting is Pine City, Minnesota, but it might as well be Miami Lakes. The marriage of a pharmacist and a choral director is being torn apart by the husband's affair with a house- wife married to a video-store clerk. Somewhere between the weighty Scenes from a Marriage and the fluffy Same Time Next Year, Wright's little user's guide to adultery brings to life conflicts of love and duty, of lust and the passage of time. Giving up on reason as the ruler of their passions, the married foursome become mere witnesses to the spectacle of their lives unraveling. The conclusion is uplifting, ironic, or both.
The immensely likable Andy Quiroga brings complexity and relish to the philandering pharmacist. Elda Elisa Brouwer adds a dangerous edge to his betrayed wife's plight. Beth McIntosh lets the script's sophomoric religious debates emerge with an aging sophomore's touching charm. Eric Lavoie seems overtaxed by his role as the betrayed lug, erring on the side of humor rather than pathos. It still works, though. Don't miss this one.
Orange Flower Water
Promethean Theatre at the Main Street Playhouse, 6766 Main St, Miami Lakes
Written by Craig Wright. Directed by Margaret M. Ledford. With Elda Elisa Brouwer, Eric Lavoie, Beth McIntosh, and Andy Quiroga. Presented through March 15. 786-317-7580.

Travis Scott, Migos, Pusha T To Perform At GOOD Music Pop-Up Show In NYC Tonight
After performing two consecutive nights at Madison Square Garden, Kanye is premiering his Yeezy Season 4 in New York today, but he's still got at least one more event planned. Later tonight, Pusha T has revealed that Kanye's label, GOOD Music, will be putting on a pop-up show at the Highline Ballroom.While Kanye is not on the bill, Travis Scott, Migos, Desiigner, Pusha T, Tyga, and more are scheduled to perform, and while it hasn't been confirmed, it seems likely that Ye could also make an appearance. Details of the show can be found below.
Pusha T Unveils New Anti-Trump, Pro-Hillary T-Shirt
For obvious reasons, much of the rap game has rallied against the GOP presidential nominee Donald J. Trump. Fewer have been vocal of their support of his opponent, Hillary Clinton, but Pusha T is looking to change that with the latest T-shirt he has put out via his Play Cloths clothing line. "Delete Your Account," reads the new anti-Trump, pro-Hillary T-shirt, showing a bobbling Twitter icon with an "X" in its left-hand corner.
Stream "The Land" Soundtrack, Featuring Nas, Kanye West, Pusha T, & More
Nas' Mass Appeal has teamed up with IFC films to produce a film called "The Land," a tale of a gang of Cleveland skateboarders who enter the high-stakes molly game to pay tournament fees. Nas & co have already released a few songs from the soundtrack; now they release the full stream by way of NPR. The soundtrack features music from Nas, Kanye West Erykah Badu, Pusha T, Jeremih, French Montana, Fashawn, Stalley, Machine Gun Kelly, Dave East, Nosaj Thing, Jerreau, Ezzy and more. Check out the tracklist and stream it in full below.
Pusha T Hypes Desiigner's Imminent "Timmy Turner" Single With New Artwork
With the overwhelming success of "Panda," its safe to say that GOOD Music president Pusha T knows how to work a single. While Desiigner's New English mixtape didn't make quite as big a splash as his smash debut, it seems "Timmy Turner," a song birthed from a popular XXL Freshman Freestyle, might be the worthy successor to "Panda".
Nas, Kanye West, Pusha T, & Jeremih To Appear On "The Land" Soundtrack
On July 29th, Mass Appeal and IFC Films will debut their new film "The Land," a tale of a gang of Cleveland skateboarders who enter the high-stakes molly game to pay tournament fees. The 14-track. OST will be made available on the same day. The tracklist was announced Tuesday -- appearances from Kanye West, Pusha T, Jeremih, Erykah Badu, French Montana, Machine Gun Kelly, Nas, who executive produced the film, and many more. Check it out below.
Top Tracks: July 11 - July 17
I'm not going to take the time to crunch all of the numbers for the 28 weeks of 2016 we've experienced thus far, but in terms of artists who show up most often in our weekly top ten tracks list, it's not even close. Drake is the clear victor, seeming to find a way on here every week. Second place is a little more murky.
The Best Hip Hop Songs (On Spotify) Of June 2016
ICYMI: HNHH recently launched a Spotify playlist called FIRE EMOJI: The Hottest Hip Hop Songs Right Now. The 40-track playlist is updated on a daily basis. It lives on Spotify and thus is inherently imperfect, because not all supa-hot hip hop songs have been added to Spotify (e.g. those recent ScHoolboy Q releases). Still, the playlist is generally representative of the best new releases in hip hop.
Review: Desiigner's "New English"
If you, like me, weren't one of the couple thousand people who had pressed play on the Soundcloud link Desiigner's "Panda" by the time you sat down to watch Kanye West's Life Of Pablo livestream this February, you were most likely among the millions who first assumed that the teenaged, "Broads in Atlanta"-touting Brooklyn rapper was actually Future. That's a pretty huge hole from which to exhume yourself just as you're getting started with your career, but Desiigner did it. With that one record out in the world, he signed with G.O.O.D.
Top Tracks: June 20 - June 26
Summer officially began this past week, and with it came a whole bevy of huge tracks, most of the biggest ones being collabs. There's something decidedly warm weather about the low-stakes posse cut, and that's mainly what our list consists of this week. All but two of these ten tracks didn't appear on last week's Top Ten, with a bunch of stuff falling off in the past week.
10 Rap/R&B Songs Kylie Jenner Posted To Snapchat That Prove She's A Real One
Follow Kylie Jenner on Snapchat and you'll find her riding in the G-Wagon bumping Bryson Tiller and hamming it up for the camera and not watching the road. With all due respect to Tiller, and Lil Yachty, Kodak Black, Lil Uzi Vert, Future, Drake, Jenner's brother-in-law Kanye West, and all the other hip hop and R&B artists young Jenner bumps on the regular, she sometimes impresses by bumping unexpected artists of quality.
Kanye West, The Weeknd, & Chance The Rapper To Headline NYC's Meadows Music Festival
The same company that produces Governor's Ball has announced that the first annual Meadows Music and Arts Festival will take place in Queens, New York on October 1st and 2nd.
Top Tracks: June 6 - June 12
Let's face it, as far as high-profile tracks go, there's no way this week (or any week really) could have lived up to the seven days that preceded it. Drake, Kanye, Jay Z, Justin Bieber, Gucci Mane, Travi$ Scott, and Pusha T all joined forces with some combination of one another to make for the craziest batch of tracks we've seen in such a short span this year.
Top Tracks: May 30 - June 5
Do you ever get the feeling that hip hop's current class of elites is more of a group of superfriends than ever before? Let's play six degrees of separation with this week's top ten tracks-- the most momentous batch in recent memory. At the top we've got DJ Khaled, who's collaborated with more of rap's A- B- and C-listers in his career than arguably anyone else, and who's accompanied by Drake.
Summer Jam 2016 Recap
"SEVERE WEATHER ALERT: A storm is expected to hit between 6:00pm – 7:30pm. For your safety, please seek shelter in your vehicles." Thus began Summer Jam 2016.
Summer Jam Festival Village Stage Cancelled Due To Weather, Main Stage Performances Still Happening
It seems like there couldn't be a worse weekend for Governors Ball and Summer Jam to take place, as storm warnings has forced organizers of both festivals to cancel portions of their events. While Gov Ball's Sunday performances have been cancelled entirely, HOT 97's annual show will go on as planned, though the outdoor Festival Village stage that was to host performances prior to the main event will no longer be taking place.
Top 5 G.O.O.D. Music Posse Cuts
Today has proved to be VERY HOTTTTT across the board, but at the top of the list, (if you checked our -definitive- ranking on the homepage) is Kanye West's new single for Cruel Winter, which just so happens to be a posse cut featuring G.O.O.D. Music artists and beyond.
10 Pusha T Coke Raps Reimagined As Fast Food Raps
Few other rappers have command of similes and metaphors like Pusha T. His ability to describe the same thing (selling drugs) in endless ways is one of the many reasons he's among the best emcees doing it right now.
Pusha T Wrote McDonald's "I'm Lovin' It" Jingle
This is some news no one could have predicted would arrive today. Steve Stoute and Kaz of The Stashed visited Hot 97 for an interview on their morning show, and within the first five minutes of the 50-minute long interview, Stoute revealed some crazy information.
Pusha T Recalls The Email Exchange With Jay Z That Led To "Drug Dealers Anonymous"
Pusha T's first single from his upcoming album, King Push, had the rap world talking yesterday, as it featured a guest appearance from none other than Jay Z, who rose to the occasion with one of his better verses in recent memory, giving the GOOD Music president a run for his money.
Pusha T Announces New Single With Jay Z Dropping Tonight
Pusha T promised us his 2015 project, Darkest Before Dawn, was the album before the album, and while we've heard that one before only to be left waiting indefinitely, the GOOD Music President seems to be delivering on the promise, announcing the lead single for King Push today.

TU-2 Mao Wow
Photo by Ted Soqui
THE WINDOWS OF PAINTER TU-2S BACHELOR APARTMENT overlook Echo Park Lake, although most of the glass is covered to keep the place a cool, dark studio. Few artists have been so shaped by history as this Taiwanese expat: When Tu-2s father died, the promising 13-year-old painter had to abandon art to support his family. His martial-arts expertise would later bring him into Chiang Kai-sheks elite detachment of army bodyguards. Like many Taiwanese, the young Tu-2 worshipped Chiang and accepted the paranoid state propaganda that Mao is coming. Soon after the generalissimos death, however, Tu-2, now a university history student, found himself poring over restricted records that revealed the corruption of Chiangs entourage and government. He was shattered by his discoveries, as well as by the high-pressure time hed spent under constant surveillance while a bodyguard. It wasnt until the late 1980s that Tu-2 a nickname derived from a popular movie comedy returned to painting, which has allowed him to confront the authority figures that dominated his life: father, Chiang and Mao. Tu-2s Maology series, which showed at Brand Library a few years back, presented the dictator in a declension of iconic moods that ranged from the comic (a feline Meow Meow Mao) to the cosmic (I Ching Mao) to the topical (Gulf War Mao). Mao was always present in my life, like a ghost, Tu-2 says. Even a newer series, dealing with his own family, depicts members who are separated by a spectral void shaped like Mao. These portraits are the result of a painstaking process in which Tu-2 dipped tiny wooden Chinese signature seals and his fingerprints in paint to form images of his parents and siblings. Although Tu-2 spends much time in meditation, he also practices his martial-arts kicks by bouncing a tennis ball against a wall of his 1920s apartment complex. A wall is really a mirror, he says. What you kick against it always comes back to you.

(Photo by Max S. Gerber) IF THE DEVIL MADE A PLANT, it would be a cycad. Prickly. Armed to the teeth with spikes and spines. Every part of it poisonous. Botanist Loran Whitelock points to a low-lying, blue-gray bush. Encephalartos horridus, he says, aptly named. You wouldnt want to land in a bunch of these. Whitelock is the proprietor of Cycad Gardens, a one-and-a-half-acre lot tucked into a residential neighborhood in Eagle Rock. He is soft-spoken. Restrained. A gentle, lumbering fellow in love with a vicious plant. Whitelocks hillside garden is dense with the stuff. Cycads stab us in the arms. Thwack! The neck. Thwack-thwack! Note his hands, dotted with bruises and fresh gashes. Then rack up the numbers: Whitelock is 73 now, but met his first cycad on a hike when he was 20. His garden is 40 years old. Which is nothing when you consider that some of the plants are hundreds of years old. Which is also nothing since, as a species, cycads date to the Jurassic period. I love their antiquity, say Whitelock, who has written a book, The Cycads (Timber Press). He is at once a man reverent of time and at war with it. In the wild, all cycads are endangered. Every day, Whitelock prunes, inspects, rakes, weeds, pollinates, catalogs, scuttles up and down the steep brick pathways, engaged in the steady, unrelenting work of preservation. Defended though the garden may be, occasionally plant thieves penetrate it. Its not so much stealing a plant as stealing its history, Whitelock sighs. See that one? It weighs 120 pounds. It took me seven hours to dig it out of a gorge in South Africa. I lugged it up the side of a mountain and drove it 300 miles over dirt roads. Whenever itd fall, Id put my body between the boulders and the cycad to cushion it. Love hurts.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The Providence College men's lacrosse program opens its 2014 slate on Saturday, Feb. 22 when the Friars travel to Burlington, Vt. for a 1:00 p.m. match-up with Vermont. The afternoon contest will be played at Virtue Field.
Providence enters Saturday's game with a 5-13 record in the all-time series with Vermont. The Friars and Catamounts last met on Feb. 23, 2013 where Providence topped Vermont, 13-5.
Head Coach Chris Gabrielli enters his second season with the Friars. Assistants Brett Holm and John Galloway along with Volunteer Coach Justin Turri look to build upon the Friars' 8-8 (1-5 BIG EAST) 2013 campaign.
Providence returns 27 Friars and welcomes 20 freshmen. The 2014 roster is comprised of 13 seniors, eight juniors and six sophomores.
Senior captains Andrew Barton (Timonium, Md.) and Sean Wright (Silver Spring, Md.) return to the line-up after leading the Friars' offensive force last season with a combined 98 points on 68 goals and 30 assists. Wright led the Friars with 53 points on a team-high 41 goals and 12 assists. Barton tallied 45 points on 27 goals and a team-best 18 assists. Fellow captain, junior, Greg FitzMaurice (Huntington, N.Y.) and sophomore Kevin Blair (Hingham, Mass.) finished last year with 22 points apiece while senior Robby Stack(Medfield, Mass.) added 11 points.
The Friar defense returns seniors Zach Rogers (Rolling Hills Estates, Calif.) and Ryan Martin (Ontario, N.Y.) in addition to sophomore Griffin Goudreau (Campbell, Calif.).
Vermont will be broadcasting free live video of the game and will be offering free live stats.
SCOUTING VERMONT: Vermont enters Saturday's match-up with an overall record of 0-1. The Catamounts dropped their season opener at Colgate, 13-3, on Sat. Feb 15. Three different Catamounts found the back of the cage in the loss. Blake Pendleton, Nick Bartlett and John Everett buried shots to record their first points of the season. Vermont returns 26 players and welcomes 10 freshmen, including three Catamounts who tallied double digits in the scoring column last season. Senior Graham Horvath finished the 2013 season as the second leading scorer with 34 points on 31 goals and three assists. Junior Tim Yager and sophomore Patrick Clark each tallied 14 points for the Catamounts last season. Vermont returns it's starting goalie, sophomore Justin Rosenberg, who started 12 games for the Catamounts last season. Rosenberg played 670:59 minutes in between the pipes and posted 11.89 goals against average.

If you've been following along in this chapter, you know in the previous lesson, we explored the very first of the Reference Tools you have available to you here in PowerPoint 2008 on the Mac. We looked at the built-in Thesaurus. In this lesson we are going to continue with the other reference tool you have at your fingertips through the Reference Tools palette over here in your Toolbox. We are still using the same presentation but if you're skipping to this lesson, no swap, if you've got the exercise files, open up ECPePerformance6c from the lesson6 folder and you'll have what I have.
Click on slide #2 because this is where we left off in the previous lesson. We used PowerPoints built-in Thesaurus to change the word strengthen to bolster. Now, the reference tools are available to us in all of the applications in the Microsoft Office suite. So whatever we see here in PowerPoint also applies to Word and Excel. So anything we do here you can translate over to those other applications if you're using them. Now, what we are going to do is explore another option in the Reference Tools that we've got a sneak peak at in the previous lesson.
When we use the built-in Thesaurus to find another word for the word strengthen we saw the definitions down below in the dictionary section. So by default, you may have seen the dictionary section opened up for you with words and their definition showing up down below according to what we select and in our case the word strengthen. So let's use a different word now. Let's go to the word Performance here. I am going to right-click on the word performance, that's one of the ways to access the Reference Tools. You can Ctrl+Click if you've only got the single button mouse and we will go up to look up and here's what we saw in the last lesson Thesaurus, but we can also access the dictionary by clicking Definition.
We've got the Encarta Encyclopedia, if you're connected to the Internet, you'll have access to that. We can do a Web Search which will include sites like Wikipedia, and then we can do a Bilingual search as well using the Bilingual Dictionary to find the equivalent of our selected word in another language. So let's start with Definition here. Now, when I click on Definition, that's the dictionary section down below that's going to be used to show me definitions for the word that we've selected here performance.
Now, the built-in Thesaurus section here is also opened up. Now, if we don't need that, we can collapse it, clicking these little triangles allows us to expand or collapse the various tools and all we need right now is the dictionary, the English dictionary. If during your installation you've had other options like French, German, Japanese and Spanish, you might see those as well, you may see some other languages. Each installation may be different, but English is the one we are using right now, so we are seeing English meanings for the English word performance, you can see this is a Noun down below and look all the different definitions that I am getting.
Now, some of these may have more information. If theyve got a little triangle next to them we can expand those sections. Like manner of functioning, if I click on the triangle next to that, I see the full definition down below. I can collapse that the same way I expanded it and go to other areas and expand those as well. You may need to use a scrollbar to see some of the definitions that are off screen. So that's our dictionary. Its great for looking up words and you can use the same conjunction with the built-in Thesaurus to make sure you're getting the right meaning of the word, and if you are, then you could go to the synonyms and get some meaning for those as well.
For example, if I went to a presentation and went down to concert and click on Look Up replaces the word presentation with concert up at the top and now I am looking at the dictionary meanings for the word concert. So keep that in mind. I am going to collapse our thesaurus again because we are going to look at some other tools like the Bilingual Dictionary, this is interesting. When I click on Bilingual Dictionary this is different from choosing a different language here. Under dictionary, if I went to French, concert may or may not be a French word.
If its not, I won't see anything in here, but the word concert does appear in the French language, and you can see its kind of the same meaning as in English, but if I went to another word like bolster for example, and I right-click on bolster, go to Look Up and my Bilingual Dictionary. You can see there are no results found here in the dictionary under French, and down below the Bilingual Dictionary is showing me nothing using my default settings which happens to be changing from French to English, and if use to reverse that to go from English to French, I am going to choose French down below and I might see something different.
There is the French word for bolster. I don't see it up above using the French dictionary because in this case its looking for the word bolster as a French word which it is not. I am going to switch this back to English and I am actually going to collapse this dictionary and focus in my Bilingual Dictionary now. So I can translate from English to a series of languages that I see from this drop-down list. Again depending on your installation, you may see different options. I am going to go to German, and of course, if I wanted to do the opposite, I could as well.
I want to go from French to English, I could do that. Now no results found for the word bolster. Its not a French word, but, if I went to a French word, I could get the English meaning. So let's go down to slide eight where it says Thank You. I am just going to click after Thank You and hit return and type in Eat Cake Patisserie. Now this word patisserie is a French word, so if I right-click, go to Look Up, Bilingual Dictionary its going to replace bolster with patisserie and because I have gone from French to English I am seeing the translation.
Patisserie actually means cake shop, perfect! That's exactly what I thought it meant, and I am using the right word in my presentation. Alright, another reference tool that's very handy if you've got access to the Internet Translation, very similar to the Bilingual Dictionary but Web Search is another option. In this case you can get access to various sites. We still have the word patisserie showing up here and we can use phrases here as well. But you can see that I have got a site down here talking about the Patisserie Angelica. Little further down, there's another site.
Look at that, there's Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia telling me that its a French bakery specializing in pastries and sweets. I can even go directly go to the site just by clicking its link right here inside this field. So if I click right here for the Wikipedia definition, its going to launch my default browser and show me that word, and of course I can go to all these other links now and really dig deep into the meaning of the word patisserie. I am going to go up to Safari and hide this, so itll take me back to PowerPoint and I am going to collapse up the Web Search.
We select anything from my slide presentation and that covers the Reference Tools in the Microsoft Office suite here on the Mac.

In the first set, Bobby Parker takes the stage to offer eleven soul-stirring blues classics including "Straight Up No Chaser", "I Ain't Superstitious", and "Going Down Slow". A ten-song set by Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown finds the renowned Texas blues master igniting the stage with such classic songs as "Strange Things Happen" and "Grape Jelly" before the night winds to a rousing close with a ten-song Buddy Guy set highlighted by such tunes as "Done Got Old", "Hoochie Coochie Man", and "Drowning on Dry Land". Additional guest appearances by both Santana and Chic icon Nile Rodgers, this is one night of music that blues fans will want to revisit time and again. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Skip to comments.Schools ban racy Twilight books by Stephanie Meyer
Posted on 09/12/2009 2:51:31 AM PDT by myknowledge
click here to read article
There's a big difference between requiring the book to be part of the classwork and banning it from the library and personal backpacks. Keep the library fully stocked and teach your kids to chose good books. Teaching the kids that censureship is okay is a lesson unto itself. I'm more concerned with the outward display of Obama-love in the classroom than my daughter reading Twilight from the library.
The publisher loves this, since it means now more kids will buy the books rather than borrowing from the library.
Read them .....no big deal ....Disney movies have similar fantasy and occult themes.
I must admit I haven't actually read this particular series, but your description makes my point for me.
Traditionally, vampires are selfish, arrogant people who are so scared of dying that they sacrifice their blessed humanity for "eternal life", which they get by taking from other people. Of course, immortality at such a price is effectively eternal misery, but they are too proud and frightened to admit that.
Modern vampires on the other hand, are NEVER that. They are all "misunderstood". They never drink Human blood - they have supplies of pigs blood in the fridge. They worry about their "status". They decry the "prejudice" of their Human neighbours, who disgustingly are worried about living next to an inhuman being that requires daily doses of blood and vaporises if touched by sunlight. Don't get me wrong, the first time this "role-reversal-see-it-from-the-vampires point-of-view" was done, it was really clever. Now it's just becoming silly. If every story on a particular subject is done "differently", then very soon the "different" approach will become the standard one. Why do you think the Indans are never the bad guys in westerns any more?
Does this matter? I think it does. Alright, this approach challenges our perceptions of right and wrong, good and evil - and that's fine - except that it does it by completely blurring or reversing what good and evil are, which leads to a lot of confusion. On a more practical level, because there really is evil in this world, it's unrealistic. Eventually even the dimmest filmgoer or reader realises that and switches off. Have you noticed how few westerns are being made these days?
The problem with most reviews these days is that reviewers almost always have an agenda themselves. You rarely get an honest review based on quality of writing, you get a feminist review, or a marxist review, or a Christian review, or a post-modern review, or whatever. In the welter of claims and counter-claims, judgements and propoganda, factors like the intention of the author, or even the actual experience of the reader, are dismissed as being almost irrelevent (by experts).
In the final analysis, the only true measure of the quality of a book, film, painting or any other piece of creativity is public appeal.
I'm an elementary school librarian and I refuse to add these books to the collection. It is not on religious grounds....but my students range in age from 4-11. Are the books appropriate for this age range? Not in my opinion. If my older kids want to read these, they can purchase or check them out in middle school where they are available.
I have to make decisions every day about what belongs in our collection. Twilight books are not the only books I pass on — I have to pick titles that best fit the age of our school community.
Okay, so would you like to control what the children of liberals or those you deem as "not responsible" read, or would you like The Nanny State to decide what these children can or cannot read?
Who is going to protect these children.
How about their parents and not you or your Nanny State.
At ten years old, they were mature enough to understand that the nanny state and the nanny state sycophants should not control what they could and could not read.
No duh.
I get a kick out of not allowing younger kids to read these books described as the books being "ripped from the shelves". LOL.
In truth, some responsible adults (teachers, librarians, students) are choosing to bar some books from elementary shelves. Censorship? Please. This is part of their job.
It's the RESPONSIBILITY of teachers to filter through what they believe to be inappropriate material. Most kids in 5-6 grade MAY be ready to process the themes. There's a whole lot of younger kids in the school who are likely not. Perhaps the adults in charge would rather favor books without a supernatural theme as well in favor of themes that concentrate on the here and now and real life. That's their choice...to not favor the fantasy-themed best-sellers. So what?
Can't believe many Freepers don't get this. Should they put "Sex and the City" videos on the shelves as well? Is not allowing the show to be available in schools "censorship"?
"At ten years old, they were mature enough to understand that the nanny state and the nanny state sycophants should not control what they could and could not read."
Pretty remarkable, the majority of 10 yr olds only know that their parents say such things. Not the why or really what a nanny state is. Most 10 yr olds still have a 'nanny' at home and generally don't know any different.
This argument strikes at the heart of what I do — I'm a school librarian.
I have to buy books to which I'm philosophically opposed. It's important that I present multiple sides of issues and I make sure that I'm not imposing my political/religious opinions on my students. However, it's also important that I purchase items that are age appropriate for my young patrons (elementary school). That would not include the Twilight series. You can call it nanny state or banning, but the reality is I serve 4-11 year olds. Some items belong in middle school and high school, and not in my library.
The only thing you need to teach a child is that mom & dad will be their guiding light of morality and God provided them with the intellect to understand that they do not need the nanny state to control both them and their parents.
You see, in our family, God and Family is always more important and trustworthy than the Nanny State. However, I understand that some may wish for the Nanny State to take control.
You don't need a librarian to pick and choose which books to put on the shelves?
Yes, it is a librarians job to select which books go on the shelves and it is the parents job to control what their kids read, but it is not the job of nanny state community activists to dictate what my kids can and cannot read.
What I see are some Catholic schools and what might be private schools deciding they don't want to put a particular book in the library.
That's true. As long as their bias is right up front ("as a transgendered male-to-female wilderness hiker and Santeria priestess in touch with my inner antelope...") I don't mind, at least I can tell where they're coming from.
It's a ploy to get kids to read the books.
You are correct - every school in the article is a private school.
St Anthony's is a systemic Catholic school run by the Catholic Education Office of the Archdiocese of Sydney, Santa Sabina is an independent Catholic school run by the Dominican Sisters, and Queenswood is an independent non-denominational Christian school. Santa Sabina and Queenswood are among Sydney's most prestigious and well regarded private schools. Parents choose such schools because they want those schools to help them in supporting their decisions as to how their children are raised and what they are exposed to.
And that is fine. However, in this country, we do not need the Nanny State Sycophants dictating what books can and cannot be in out public libraries.
Come on mom and dad, all you need to do is take responsibility for what your kid reads and let the books remain in the library
states that the books should remain in the library. If these private schools want to take these books on and replace them with others that's not only the right but the responsibility of the librarians to decide.
Sounds here like you're one of those nanny sycophants you claim to despise trying to dictate to these schools what they should read.
Why that is an odd assertion.
Simply because a book exists in a library, does not mean that the librarian who ordered the book is dictating what the kids should read. Instead, the kids and the their parents can decide what is read.
It all seems rather simple. For example, while there may be things you object to broadcast on the TV, it does not mean that you are forced to watch.
Not really. You claim that certain books should remain in the library even though the librarians of these private schools don't want it there to be accessible for reading.
Sounds like you are one of those nanny activists who want to impose your wishes on a school system, even a private one.
I say give the librarians the freedom to decide what takes up their limited shelf space. This is in no way censorship. Picking and choosing books is the responsibility of the librarian.
It appears that we agree on the issue since in this very same thread I have said that it should be the librarians, and not outsiders that decide what can and cannot be put on the shelves.
However, the most important thing here is that helping children develop not only reading skills, but the habit of reading in the most important issue. And if that means that kids read Harry Potter or Twilight, then libraries and librarians are succeeding in their work.
Then I don't know why you stated the books should remain in the library. The librarians were involved in the decision to remove them.
iI was discussing my overall view of how libraries should be operated and not necessarily and one specific library in Australia.
1. Permit librarians to decide what books go into the library.
2. Keep Do Gooder citizens out of the process of what books should not be in the library.
The reason for number two is that if we allow one "Do Gooder" to decide what books must be pulled from the shelf, then we must allow every "Do Gooder" dictate what books should be pulled. If we allow for that, at the end of the process, there would be no books in the library.
Yeah, and you were airing an opinion which went against the valid procedures the libararians were following in the article.
Fact is, all librarians have to pick and choose, even those who work for adult libraries. They can't have all books. If some want to cut back on the fantastical literature and go for a different kind of lit, for example, that's their choice.
we allow one Do Gooder to decide what books must be pulled from the shelf, then we must allow every Do Gooder
No. "We" don't decide. The local systems do. YOU shouldn't be dictating except to your own kid's school. Otherwise you are the "do-gooder" you claim to dislike.
No, I should not even dictate that in my own kid's school since other parents that may be boneheads will also have the same power.
Or were you waiting from some pie-in-the-sky authority to decide?
I've never read any of them - I figured Meyer was just capitalizing on Buffy's success. Are they any good? The guy from the movie isn't nearly as hot as Angel, way too effeminate.
That's GREAT. What else have you written? I'd thank you for saving me the 20 bucks, but I wasn't going to spend it anyway.

Like it or not, America is in a battle for her financial future. And just like military preparation, financial planner Steve Repak says the solution to win the war against financial debt is a little basic training.
Basic training is where ordinary Americans are transformed into soldiers ready for battle. Drills teach immediate and correct responses to some of the most uncomfortable or unnatural situations.
And If it works on the battlefield, Repak says it can work in the battle against financial debt.
Repak himself served 12 years in the Army then retired with massive amounts of credit card debt. That debt forced him to utilize his military know-how and earn a certification in financial planning to fight his way out.
Now the veteran shares his secrets to financial success in his new book, Dollars and Uncommon Sense: Basic Training for Your Money.
Through worksheets and helpful web links, the Army vet retrains Americans' mental and emotional mindset towards money.
Repak argues that, too often, money problems result when people rely too much on "common sense" when instead they should apply a little "uncommon sense."
Repak talked about his financial basic training book, including what he means by "uncommon sense," some of the ways to "retrain your brain" when it comes to money, and a whole lot more, on Friday's "The 700 Club." Click play to watch the interview.
