Meditation on the Path to Recovery from AddictionWe all have basic human needs. When a basic human need is not met we experience a wound and pain follows when that wound is not healed. We then try to take the pain away by imagination or fantasy and soon we are indulging in distractions conjured up in our minds. These may temporarily take the pain away but the deeper unmet need that caused the pain stays unfulfilled. This, Fr Laurence suggests, is a way to understand the origin of addiction. We compulsively repeat what once brought us temporary relief from pain. Over time this becomes an addiction, and with addiction comes loss of freedom. This talk not only explores this process but relates it to the wisdom of the Twelve Steps. In particular Fr Laurence shows how the simple practice of meditation offers a way to break this vicious cycle of addictive desire and regain wholeness.
Talks at Geneva, Switzerland (November 2006)
1. Addiction and Grace 2. Desire and Addiction 3. Prayer of the Heart 4. Attention 5. Joy Deeper than Desire 6. The Nature of God 7. What is Sin? 8. Meditation and the Twelve-Step Programme

Cornell was a Jettator who appeared in Highlander: The Animated Series. He was the Jettator of astronomy.
Cornell appeared in the episode Orion's Reign where he had assembled a group of followers who addressed him as Orion (seemingly to exploit a loophole in his oath of non-combat). He planned to battle Kortan during a solar eclipse, when special training he'd undergone would give Cornell the advantage, as he was blind and had learned to fight without the sense of sight.
Ramirez armed himself in preparation to enforce the Jettator's oath on Cornell, eventually forcing him to pass on his knowledge to Quentin before his appointed battle with Kortan. Cornell did indeed duel Kortan during the eclipse to cover his followers' escape, but having surrendered his immortality, was no match and killed.

What's the scoop on the Dark Age Dawning series?
They're apocalyptic paranormal romance, forthcoming from Berkley Sensation. The first book drops June 7th. Book two comes out in September 2011, and the final installment in the trilogy comes out in time for Christmas.
How do you divide the work?
We write every other chapter, and then edit the book together until the voice feels seamless.
I heard Carrie is writing the dude. Does that mean Ann is the woman? How did you two divvy / decide that?
As it would open the way for some great jokes, we actually take turns. We split the male and female protagonists, main and secondary.
How did you two first meet each other?
We 'met' on Smart Bitches and became friends through email and IM. Eventually we dared each other to go to RWA some years back, an "I will if you will" and "I double-dog dare you" kind of thing. That was when we met for the first time in person. It was a huge conference and we were both intimidated, but we had a great time. Each year it's more fun as we meet new people.
How many books in the series? And are there plans for any other series?
"Dark Age Dawning" is most definitely a trilogy. We have ideas for two more series, but we're not posting the details here for obvious reasons.
What do you like best about working together?
Ann: I like doing half the work and winding up with a full book.
Carrie: The energy is great. Fiction can be such a solitary madness, with long periods between writing and hearing feedback. It's so nice to have someone else click with ideas and enthusiasm, and to get that instant hit of, "Oh, yeah, this works!" Momentum becomes so easy!
If Ellen Connor were a Barbie, what would her Barbie name be?
Easy! Apocalypse Barbie. She comes with gas mask, fallout shelter and a full compliment of weapons. Armored vehicle and Apocalypse Ken not included.
Is the "Dark Age Dawning" series future or present time? Is there romance involved?
It's future, unspecified as to how far from our time to keep from it from becoming dated. (But we actually do know the year.) And as for the romance, that's a resounding yes! We love us some hot-and-dirty lovin'.
So is Ellen Connor urban fantasy or romance?
These are romance novels, although they are dark, different and action-packed. Be prepared for grit and heavy emotion with your apocalyptic magic!

It actually started a little earlier around 1989 with a small set of designs that included winter, sky, and land elements. One was a row of trees next to a body of water. It was that design that Kevin Nakagawa built the nature line upon.

Extract of sample
plato's Republic
In his book, "the Republic" Plato states that oligarchy and timocracy are favorable to democracy and that anarchy or totalitarianism is a less preferable system of government. Plato was an enemy of democracy because according to him, he identified deficiencies in the Athenian democracy. Plato in his book, the republic asserted that the Athenian democracy promoted inherent class tension and it did not focus on promoting equality and liberty of all the people (Plato 295). According to Plato, inherent class tensions were evident in the disunity between the Athenian classes that lacked discipline and respect to the ordinary citizens because of power. This according to Plato came from the incentives of the governed not to submit to the opinions of the governors. Democratic society in this sense goes on to abuse as contemptible people who honor and respect the authorities and preserves its approval in personal and public life for governors or rulers who act like subjects and subjects who act like governors or rulers. Consequently, this leads to dictatorship and revolution. Plato explains that this eventuality leads to totalitarianism which is the most cruel and unjust system of government. This takes place when people flush with authority appoint a representative whose ways to being a dictator is evident. ...

Plato's 'Republic': The Philosophical Tenets of Justice
Critical philosophical study of the issue alongside irrefutable proof leads to the conclusion that justice has an absolute reality as well as its own benevolence and should be pursued regardless of the consequences. Through an objective study of Plato's "Republic" this philosophical position can be defended adequately.

Plato's Republic Philosophy Essay
In other words, the Republic by Plato is primarily a treatise about the formation of man. It is a political work not in the conventional sense, but in the sense as Socrates makes it understandable. However, the huge educational truth, which is clearly represented in the Republic - is a strong correlation of the image of man and space where the person is placed. It is not only an artistic principle, but it is also a moral law. The main thesis is that a perfect man can be formed only in a perfect state, and vice versa: the creation of the perfect state is the problem of a man forming. This is...

Socrates was outspoken in criticizing the new government and after the Democrats took hold of power, Socrates' relationship with the oligarchic set up made his enemies to find appropriate reasons to make him face trial. They charged him with corrupting the youth of Athens through immoral ways and in spite of his articulately expressed defense, Socrates was held guilty and condemned to death. In his Apology, Plato has recorded the last days of Socates' life. Socrates continued to remain staunch and true to his belief system and was unwilling to go back on his past statements. He even...

Concept of Justice in Plato's Republic
This argument is presented to Socrates in an accusatory fashion, and with Thrasymachus' replies to what Socrates seeks in clarification in support of his argument, it seems evident that Thrasymachus' himself did not completely understand the depth of the position he just took. This becomes apparent when Socrates designs his retorts to explore the argument further, dedicating the rest of the Book I to seeking clarification of the argument Thrasymachus' had just presented. Socrates aims to make it apparent that a concept of justice such as this must develop in a coherent fashion towards...

Plato's Republic, Book VII - The Allegory of the Cave
Since the cave represents the world in which we initially live, with the condition of gloom symbolic of human ignorance, as prisoners of ignorant thought or apprehension, we ought to settle such predicament by moving from the state of darkness where only illusions can be made into that of light in order to acquire a clear view of things. Here, Socrates attempts to communicate the essence of education in the significance of correcting the way things are seen where one engages not only with viewing matters of the physical world accurately but also with the point of gaining access to the 'forms...

Hence, when viewed in popular discourse, it can be said that authoritarians too claim that their legitimacy is depended on a popular mandate.

Among those titles announced for Nintendo's newest game playing machine, the 3DS, at E3 were two remakes of classic N64 games: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and Star Fox 64. While no one I've heard from is opposed to seeing an Ocarina of Time remake, the idea of remaking Star Fox 64 seems to be drawing some fire (no pun intended).
Fans are understandably upset that the first Star Fox title announced in 4 years time is a remake, but don't these people remember that the last three times they tried to make another Star Fox game they failed to live up to 64? What makes fans think a fourth attempt would fare any better? I'd rather Nintendo take a step back and do it over from the beginning than scrape the series they've driven into the ground along.
I'll wager that if Nintendo tried to make a Star Fox from the ground up, there's a 70% chance that it would suck... not as much as Assault, but about Command level. At least this way, we'll get some new content that probably won't suck.
Besides, it's not like remakes have never improved or refined the gameplay of their originals. Nintendo also has a rough minimum increase in content for their remakes. Take these games for instance:
Super Mario 64 DS Right from the get-go, one obvious content increase is from 120 stars up to 150. Now, I could say that's a content increase of 25% right there, but that wouldn't be fair. The games also features 3 new characters, remixed old stars, and new abilities, so the actual increase in content is more. SM64DS also has a new control scheme and a improved camera. This game also introduced Silver Stars, which came back for both Galaxy games, as well as an ability for Mario to float up like a balloon, much like Yoshi does in Galaxy 2 (coincidence? hardly).
Kirby Super Star Ultra This one's a little more straightforward. While the gameplay is not refined, there's no new abilities introduced or anything, the game is longer. The original game had 6 games, 2 mini-games, and 1 Boss Rush. This new version has 8 games, 5 mini-games, and 3 Boss Rushes. I'd chalk that up to maybe a 30-40% increase in content.
Metroid: Zero Mission (Thanks to Setaimx) Calling this game a remake is doing it a disservice. Not only is a veritable ton of new content given to this game, the old content has been heavily changed and rearranged. If Star Fox got this kind of overhaul, it'd basically be a new game in my book.
Setai also wanted me to mention the Super Mario Advance series, which incorporated new content into classic Mario platformers.
What makes me so sure that the new content will be worthwhile, especially considering that I think a new Star Fox would fail? I've got 2 good reasons why expanded content tends to be better:
1) Less Content/Higher Scrutiny Let's say you're in an writing class, and you have two papers to write, one is four pages long, the other is twenty. Now, which paper do you think will be better? The short one, right? Why is that? It isn't just because it's shorter and you hate reading. It's because the writer has less space to fill. With less space, it stands to reason that a good writer would put his best material in that space. Once he decides what to put in, that smaller paper gets more refinement than the big paper would in the same amount of time. It's the same idea for game design. The best stuff gets in, and gets more looked over than content for a full game might.
2) Cohesiveness Many fans of Star Fox will tell you that many of the reasons recent Star Fox games have not been so stellar is that the game deviated too far from the gameplay elements of 64. In this remake, that will be harder to do. With new and old content being next to each other, having the two cohere will make the game feel more like a whole product than a mashing of disparate ideas, something Nintendo no doubt strives to do.
Of course, there is always the possibility that in trying to expand on and improve this old game, they completely ruin it. If that's the case, I know a new

He is the leading comedian in Telugu and commands remuneration on par with some heroines. But Brahmanandam and Lakshmipathi were shown the door recently by director E V V Sathyanarayana. The high-handed behaviour of the comedians is the reason behind their ouster from the film Pellaindi Kaani.

Dominant Peer Group
Everyone can benefit from a circle of peers. A place to share, learn, listen and be heard as an equal among equals. Sigma's Dominant Peer Group is just such a space for men who identify, entirely or partially, as: Dominant, Master, Sir, Daddy, ...
The BDSM community makes a great deal of space for the care and feeding of submissives. And rightly so. Dominants, on the other hand, are often left to fend for themselves because they are supposed to entirely self sufficient. The result is we now have empowered, well adjusted submissives and dominants trying to catch up.
In the journey of self discovery that dominance offer's, every man confronts his own nature and must find a way to express himself through his actions. Each journey is unique to the man but the questions are surprisingly similar. When we come together as a community to share our
adventures and our struggles, we all learn to be better men and better dominants.
For a bit, stop being a lone wolf. Set your armor aside. Come sit in a circle of equals. Come hang at the Sigma club house on the 4th Saturday of the month from 4 to 6 and discover the power of community to help you on your adventure.

Lol, tell me more about the nazys.
They thought they were privileged because of the color of their skin.
Interesting factoid that Hitler thought the Jews were a privileged class that were conspiring to hold back the German people.
Adolf Hitler, the first ever social justice warrior.
Good job on having no clue as usual, odd part is you seem to know a whole about hitler.
Hitler focused his propaganda against the Versailles Treaty, the "November criminals," the Marxists and the visible, internal enemy No. 1, the "Jew," who was responsible for all Germany's domestic problems. In the twenty-five-point programme of the NSDAP announced on 24 February 1920, the exclusion of the Jews from the Volk community, the myth of Aryan race supremacy and extreme nationalism were combined with "socialistic" ideas of profit-sharing and nationalization inspired by ideologues like Gottfried Feder. Hitler's first written utterance on political questions dating from this period emphasized that what he called "the anti-Semitism of reason" must lead "to the systematic combating and elimination of Jewish privileges. Its ultimate goal must implacably be the total removal of the Jews."
Sounds pretty familiar to me.
I do know a lot about Hitler. He was an interesting guy. That entire period of history is pretty fascinating.

Is it that hard to stay on the subject, let me try one more time, the article states that white men have less chances of bad things happening to them, hopefully that was simple enough for you to understand.

Columbus Commercial Plumbing Services
In need of a reliable commercial plumbing contractor in Columbus? Call McAtee LLC, your Columbus commercial plumbing specialists, now at (614) 252-9400.
Plumbing is something that most people would rather have installed and forget about. No-body wants to hear that a toilet has overflown or that a sink is leaking. It's just a horrible distraction and takes concentration, time and money away from your business. Calling in the professionals after the plumbing has demanded your attention can also be costly. Oftentimes the problem is easily repaired by one of our associates, but then you are still left with clean up and an inconvenience to your customers. The smart thing to do, is to not ignore your plumbing.
Our Commercial Services Include
Our professional associates are more than happy to utilize their skills to keep your plumbing working at top efficiency. Call us, let us check your plumbing on a regular basis. We can use our sewer camera to identify possible threats to future clogs or we can remove an existing one. Sewer lines are laid with the foundation of the building, and can lie untouched for years. Trees, and other foliage with aggressive root systems, can compromise sewer lines and cause costly and time consuming repairs.
Water lines are also a concern when considering plumbing. Water lines can become displaced by shifting soil and settling buildings. Joints can become stressed and begin leaking or even burst. Many upgrades have been made to both water and sewer lines over the decades, and yet many older buildings have not installed these upgrades. Age leaves the lines vulnerable to extreme weather and stress breaks. These things are under your business. It is not wise to assume that if you can't see anything then, nothing is wrong. Have the plumbing checked, from one end to the other. We can help you with repair and replacement for all of your plumbing.
Why Choose Us?
This is your business. It needs to run smoothly. Part of that is ensuring that your plumbing isn't causing unnecessary expense or embarrassment. Keep everything running like clockwork by calling us and making an appointment today. Our associates have the expertise to help you with your every plumbing need. Don't wait until your plumbing demands your attention. Be proactive. Give us a call and schedule an appointment. It can save you time, money, embarrassment, and most importantly, it can help your business continue to keep employees or customers safe and comfortable.

Tens of thousands of Texans will show their support for the state's college-bound students by wearing their college T-shirts on Friday, May 4, the state's second annual GenTX Day.
"We hope everyone will wear their college T-shirts," said Connie Freeman, GenTX Campaign Director. "It's an easy way to send a powerful message about the value of higher education, and it will create opportunities for people to share their stories about their college choices and their careers."
GenTX Day focuses attention on the GenTX (pronounced Generation Texas) grassroots movement aimed at creating a college-going culture across the state. Funded by a federal College Access Challenge Grant to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, the movement's goal is to convince graduating high school students that they can earn more throughout their lifetimes by learning more now, in college.
"GenTX Day is an idea that is elegantly simple and invites everyone to participate by simply wearing their favorite college t-shirt," said Dr. Raymund Paredes, Texas Commissioner of Higher Education. "Now, if everyone across the state did that, just imagine how dramatic the impact of that would be just in terms of a show of support for our Texas students. But more importantly, imagine the opportunities for conversation that it creates. It might just be the one conversation that changes someone's life."
In 2011, the Texas Legislature, communities, businesses, and celebrities joined forces to make the state's first GenTX Day a success. Across the state, Texans sported their favorite college T-shirts, ball caps, and jerseys. NFL quarterback Vince Young and the Grammy Award-winning songwriting trio The Bama Boyz talked about the barriers they overcame to reach their higher-education goals. And the Texas supermarket chain H-E-B encouraged its more than 50,000 employees statewide to wear their college T-shirts to work on GenTX Day. To see how Texans celebrated the first GenTX Day, visit http://gentx.org/gentx-day-recap/.
Here are three ways you can make GenTX Day even bigger in 2012:
1) Wear a college T-shirt
2) Spread the word about GenTX Day
- Encourage everyone you know to wear a college T-shirt on May 4.
- Put up signs and messages about GenTX Day at your school or business — anyplace people will see them. Visit the Download Center on GenTX.org for free flyers, posters and more.
3) Connect with others on GenTX Day and be seen!
- Take and share photos of yourself and your friends wearing college T-shirts at facebook.com/GenerationTX, and on Twitter with the hashtag #GenTXDay.
- Change your profile picture on Facebook to a photo of you in your college T-shirt.
- Share your own higher education story with someone.

In her bid to unseat Republican U.S. Rep. Chris Stewart, state Sen. Luz Robles will focus almost exclusively on registering new voters and encouraging people to vote by mail.
Her strategy is fueled by a desire to enfranchise Utahns who have become disengaged with government. It also may be her only hope of winning in Utah's 2nd Congressional District, a sprawling, heavily Republican area that stretches from Bountiful through Salt Lake City and all the way to St. George.
"The only way we are going to turn Utah purple or have more balance in our elections and the government is to have more people participate," she said this week. "It is a huge challenge."

Mother Dairy, a wholly-owned subsidiary of National Dairy Development Board, had posted a turnover of Rs 7,186 Cr last fiscal. Out of this, about 75% turnover came from dairy segment, while the rest is fresh fruit and vegetable and edible oil.
Mother Dairy
This is for both half litre and one-litre packs and has been done due to higher procurement prices. The company has however not raised the prices of token milk and cow milk. Mother Dairy, which sells more than 30 lakh litres of milk per day in Delhi-NCR, has increased the prices after 14 months.
For Cinepolis, Paytm users can book their movie tickets with over 236 screens the company operates. In March 2016, Paytm partnered with PVR Cinemas and INOX for movies tickets. The new initiative will also let users pay for food and other value-added services through their wallet. For Mother Diary, users will now be able to make payments through their wallets across 100+ Mother Dairy milk booths.

Have you ever met someone and instantly liked them? That's what happened when I met Derrick "DJ" Williams earlier this year through a mutual friend.
We had a delightful exchange about what the "movies of our lives" would look like and from his references I knew I had met a cultural ally. I was excited to have someone to talk with about music, and more specifically Lykke Li so showed him my favorite "Live on the Moon" Sessions.
During our first meeting I couldn't figure out why DJ looked so familiar and then it dawned on me. He could pass for the singer Twin Shadow's brother, the way I could pass for his cousin. We are part of the same bi-racial tribe and there was that instant familial bond.
Our second encounter consisted of a conversation about branding and the Thandie Newton Tedx Talk on "Otherness & Self". After this conversation my original impression was confirmed and I knew DJ would be a good subject to interview. We traded email addresses, and after a few texts and emails this is the defining interview that transpired.
Conducted via email 10/2/16.
1. So you recently watched Amelie. What are your thoughts on that film?
Yeah, I was finally able to watch Amelie recently! It was amazing: I laughed, I cried, I felt simultaneously lonely and infinitely connected, I was made full of wonder. It's a great film. Just, the pure joy and happiness that you get to see moved me in a way that most other films I've seen have. For example, I was ugly crying, like boo-hoo sobbing, when Amelie takes a blind man's arm and describes what everything looks like as they walk down the street. In a good way, of course! The characters are all super memorable without crossing the line into twee caricatures. It's rare to see joy celebrated like this movie does.
2. Are you now a Jean Pierre Jeunet fan? What other French filmmakers do you enjoy?
I couldn't say I'm a JPJ fan just yet, but after I see a couple more of his films I totally could be! In a direct contrast to the reasons Amelie was so significant, one of my favorite French filmmakers is Gaspar Noé. All of his films are extremely dark (which I love) and extremely beautiful. He definitely inspires me as a filmmaker with his use of various lighting techniques and storytelling.
3. Do you feel like other cultures, the French for example, are more or less open to the notion of bi-racial couples and bi-racial people in general?
The difference between America's views on bi-racialism and that of many European countries, like France or Britain, is that our racial history is much more recent than theirs. It also seems like culturally we are more frank in discussing issues of race/gender/sexuality/etc. I think you see a ton of interracial couples in British media, for example, but just because there's more representation doesn't mean there aren't the same issues as over here. Now we're finally entering an era where somebody might be able to recognize themselves on TV, but that came from decades of fights and discussions.
4. Have you ever been to a foreign country? If so, how were you received?
Unfortunately I haven't been to a foreign country other than Mexico when I was about six and those memories are super hazy. I will say that there are many countries that I would love to visit but would hesitate if given the opportunity because of how universal anti-blackness is. If I did go to, for example, and East Asian country like China (where I've read accounts of people throwing bananas and calling black men Michael Jordan) or Japan (where I've read accounts of black people getting denied entry to public places like stores or bars), how would I feel about it afterwards? Would my experience sour whatever cultural aspects I enjoy? It sucks, but that's the kind of thinking black people (and members of the LGBT community) have to do when traveling abroad.
5. What is your take on the term "otherness?" Do you feel like an "other?"
Otherness is a much more common experience than people think it is. Of course it varies from culture to culture, but in US culture if you aren't a straight, cis, white, man the truth is you ARE "other." That's because those are the people who created the rules of this game we're playing and it isn't fair. Because I exist at the intersection of gay and black (and half-black, which comes with another set of identity questions) of course I've felt othered my whole life. I'm the only non-white member of my immediate family and I've often been the only non-white member of my friend group. It's taken a long time to come to terms with my identity and with that coming to terms came a huge surge of confidence.
6. What does the term "grey art" mean to you? Does it make you feel like a pioneer? Also, does it imply a specific duty to live up to a standard of quality?
To be honest I haven't heard of the term grey art and my perfunctory googling didn't reveal anything specific. It does seem that whenever one's work is categorized as something specific there's an instant comparison not only to those that are highly regarded in that art in general, but also the people who pioneered that specific category of art. For me there's always an obligation to make the best work I can, but something that's helpful is not trying to create a specific thing until the thing is done.
7. I feel like you would be a fan of Jeff Koons. Are you familiar with his work? What artists do you refer to as influences?
Yeah, Jeff Koons is fantastic! His use of colors and culture is so fun and so whimsical and so free. Of course, because I am SUPER gay, Lady Gaga is the one who first introduced me to his work. Visual art-wise, I've never been interested in reality. Landscapes, realistic portraits, wildlife photography, that kind of stuff never interested me. The visual artists who really inspire me are my two favorites: Yayoi Kusama and Takashi Murakami. Their art is so completely OUT THERE and they have such an amazing use of color and pattern. It's far out. You know, Louis Vuitton has done collaborations with both of those artists and it is my DREAM to own a bag or something from the Yayoi collection.
8. What's the best art exhibit you've ever seen?
The most fun I've had at an art show or gallery is visiting the pop art room at MoMA in New York. If you couldn't tell, I love when artists buck the existing trends and rules and concentrate on making something fun and personal. It was full of Warhol's and even a sculpture by Yayoi Kusama.
9. When we first met we had a great conversation about Lykke Li. In her video "Never Gonna Love Again" there is an intense car crash scene. What do you feel like this scene represents?
Yeah we did! It's so great to talk about her with someone. That car crash scene is so difficult to watch. There's definitely a trope of the Unexpected Car Crash in various media, which makes every single car scene so nerve-wracking for me. But! In this case it can totally represent heartbreak. Especially if you don't see it coming, the end of a relationship can totally mess with your life and your routine.
10. Do you feel like car crashes in videos always represent emotional turmoil? Or is it a depiction of relationships?
It's a valid metaphor for emotional turmoil, but I don't think it always represents either love or relationships. Sure, there are probably a bunch of videos that use that imagery as a representation of a romantic relationship, but it could represent a sudden life change, or the end of an era, or an awakening. It's emotionally jarring most times, which lends whichever metaphor certain heaviness.
11. What was the first concert you ever went to? And how was it?
Well I'm from a working class family in Louisville, Kentucky. Since Louisville is more urban than people expect, there are many stereotypes that don't hold up. Except this: my first concert was Garth Brooks. I was six, I went with my mom, I knew every word, and I got friends in low places.
12. What is the last concert you went to? And how was it?
Holy crap, I saw Deborah Cox at Market Days this year and she was FABULOUS. Her voice was amazing! Honestly I was getting major Whitney Houston vibes from her as she was singing.
13. What are your thoughts on how musicians and bands brand themselves today? What role do you feel like technology has played in doing this from decade to decade?
Musicians and entertainers in general are branding themselves and getting their work out in a way that people in past decades could only DREAM of doing. Of course it creates the problem of too many voices and groups for any one to rise to the top, but don't you think it's amazing that anybody with a dream can get their voice heard by someone? And that's how things have gone since the beginning. Technology is integral to the development of music in every decade, so much so that any musical distinction could probably be attributed to the technological advancements of that era. I love that there are so many way for artists to share their work.
14. Think about a tweet from Buddy Holly. How weird would that be?
Hahaha, that would be absolutely ridiculous. What kind of tweets do you think he would tweet? Could you imagine the uproar on social media if Buddy Holly were around when Weezer released their song "Buddy Holly"? It would be insane, like tweeting Green Day every time September ends.
15. What are your thoughts on the pervasiveness of technology and do you think it helps or harms our culture?
Listen, technology is here to stay. It's everywhere and only increasing in scope. The only thing we can do know is adapt and keep adapting because we're barreling forward in our tech advancements faster than ever before. Obviously there are a ton of benefits from these advancements – puppies are getting 3D printed replacement limbs! We can go to a concert performed solely by Hatsune Miku: an artificially intelligent hologram WHO IS SELLING OUT VENUES WORLDWIDE. Shit's insaaane! But then I consider the impact social media is probably having on people younger than me. The only thing a developing teenager wants is validation, and if they can only get that from strangers online they'll keep pushing their boundaries to see just how big a following they'll amass.
16. Is the term YOLO still relevant? If so what does it mean to you?
YOLO (or, You Only Live Once) is a sentiment that will always be relevant. Maybe not the specific term, but the attitude will be around for ages to come. It's just so important to consider taking the path not planned, to live in the moment, to appreciate today.
17. Where did your obsession with K-Pop originate from?
Hahaha! Probably my first K-pop obsession was 2NE1's "I'm the Best." I've gone through periods of being interested, but it's seriously my most-played genre, more than (I'm ashamed to say) even Beyoncé! The songs are basically mathematically formulated to stick in your head. Plus, the Korean idol industry is SO different from our Western model that it's really interesting to compare and contrast the sounds and business models. My current bias groups (plus their popular songs) by the way are TWICE ("Cheer Up"), Stellar ("Sting"), and Red Velvet ("Russian Roulette").
18. How do you think being bi-racial informs how you consume culture?
Being bi-racial has totally influenced every aspect of my cultural consumption. We're inundated with images, both good and bad, on how your life should look if you are of one race or another. Because I have two different, and often opposing, views on pop culture, I've had to forge my own path. I appreciate it now because now I don't care about whether I "should" like or dislike something – if I enjoy it, I know it's for me, regardless of what we're told to like.
19. What do you feel is our responsibility as American creators and consumers?
Really our only responsibility is to ourselves. If you are a creator, whether it's artistic, scientific, both, neither, or whichever, we are only obligated to create what we feel we should create. I do think that people who would be categorized as "Other" often have the additional obligation to represent everyone in whichever group we consist of. And that's important to! Representation is so, so, so important. But one should never force themselves to be something they're not or to create something they don't believe in just to satisfy someone else's view of what they should be doing.
20. How do you feel this interview went?
This interview went really well! Thank you so much for this; it's super fun to discuss my viewpoint on things.

Holiday Fruitcake Bars
Recipe by justcallmetoni
No time to make a fruitcake for the holidays? This quick bar cookie will satisfy your cravings. This recipe combines the best of several recipes I've tried over the years.
Top Review by Lighthouse Rita
These fruitcake bars were very good. My husband who is an avid fruitcake lover, enjoyed the taste, but felt the bar only tasted mildly like a fruitcake. I did not put the icing on the bar. I will still make the traditional fruitcake, but I am glad I found this recipe for an easy quick way to have something close to a fruitcake if even only mildly. Thanks for sharing.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup sifted powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 cup chopped walnuts or 1⁄2 cup pecans
- 1 cup candied fruit
- 1⁄3 cup currants
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons rum
Directions See How It's Made
- Beat eggs with a mixer until they are golden yellow and doubled in volume – 2 or 3 minutes.
- Add in 1 cup sifted powdered sugar and vanilla.
- Mix together flour, baking powder and salt.
- Take 2 tablespoons of flour mixture and stir in with candied fruit, nuts and currants, to keep fruit from clumping in the batter.
- Add the rest of the flour mix to the eggs and sugar.
- Fold fruit and nuts into batter.
- Spoon batter into a well greased 11" by 7" pan.
- Some years I use parchment paper instead.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
- Mix together rum and second cup of powdered sugar to make a glaze.
- Spread the icing onto the bars about 5 minutes after they've come out of the oven.
- Let bars cool and cut into bars.
