text: News Link • Housing Foreclosure-Gate: The Feds Are Caving To Wall Street On Foreclosures 04-08-2011 • BusinessInsider.com/ All 50 state attorneys general and multiple federal agencies had joined forces last year to hammer out a pact with big mortgage servicers. Among the terms under discussion was making banks reduce struggling homeowners' mortgage principal, accept loan-servicing standards, and pay financial penalties for "robo-signing" and related foreclosure abuses. That looks to be dead. Instead, the Federal Reserve, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, FDIC and other bank regulators have started signing individual "consent agreements" with Bank of America (BAC), Wells Fargo (WFC) and other large servicers. Legal experts who have reviewed the government's agreement (which you can review here) describe it as exceptionally weak. Banks aren't forced to cut loan balances or pay a fine. They also don't have to admit any wrongdoing in connection with the robo-signing scandal. Rather, banks are simply required to tighten their internal loan modification and foreclosure processes.

When I first began my group weight loss program several years ago, there were two 78-year-old ladies who attended the weekly sessions. Each of these ladies over the course of little more than a year lost 80 pounds! One of them came to the first session limping with a cane and taking medication for high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol. Over the course of the sessions, she was able to walk normally without a cane and was able to safely eliminate all her medications to the amazement of her internist. What this demonstrates to me is that hypnotherapy can effective for weight loss for all types of situations.
A 50-year-old gentleman came to his first group session eating five quarts of ice cream a week. During the week after the session he only had one quart of ice cream. Over the course of several more weeks, he totally eliminated ice cream from his diet. He proceeded to lose 10 pounds within a few weeks. At this point he was willing to admit at one session that he was drinking 64 ounces of cola every morning. After that session, he completely stopped drinking cola and proceeded to lose another 15 pounds, which brought him to his ideal weight.
Pregnancy Case Studies
A woman in her second pregnancy desired hypnotherapy to assist her in having an easier time with childbirth. Her first pregnancy was complicated by a c/section after 25 hours of labor. She was completely dilated but for the last 3 hours was unable to push out the baby. Four hypnotherapy sessions were conducted during her second pregnancy. The sessions focused on an easy pregnancy following by a rapid labor and delivery where the uterus would contract effectively and the pelvic musculature would relax. The patient's labor was three hours from start to finish ending up in an uncomplicated vaginal delivery.
I was called once to assist in a c/section for a patient having her second child. The first child was a normal vaginal birth. I assessed the patient and could tell the problem was that her pelvic muscles were too tight and she was not pushing effectively because she was "out of control". Using some simple hypnotherapeutic effects, I was able to relax the patient and within 10 minutes she was able to have a natural birth. From a financial standpoint, I would have received $300 for assisting in the C/section. Utilizing hypnotherapy I saved this patient from undergoing a major operative procedure and saved her insurance company thousands of dollars. I received no financial compensation for my efforts. However, the look on her face after helping her was "priceless".
A gentleman was preparing for hip surgery. Prior to the surgery it was requested by his physician that he lose weight. The gentleman was in his late sixties and had become addicted to eating "Red Hots" candy. He had no difficulties eliminating other junk food but was really struggling with this one craving. One session was completely successful eliminating this craving and helping him to lose weight.
At the gentleman's request, we did a second session to prepare him for his upcoming hip surgery. The hypnotherapy session covered several elements when preparing for surgery that included:
Positive mental attitude prior to the procedure
Minimal blood loss during the procedure
Minimal pain and discomfort following the procedure
Rapid healing following the procedure
This gentleman approached this procedure now with minimal stress. According to what his operating surgeon told him, he has never seen such minimal blood loss for this kind of procedure. His postoperative recovery went extremely well to the point where at 2 weeks postoperatively he was doing was as well if not better than most people six weeks post operatively.
The power of the mind has a lot of control on the physiologic function of the body. If you would like assistance in preparing for an upcoming surgical procedure, please feel free to contact me for further information

Life at Northwestern wouldn't be complete without the almost comically strange pairings of artists — Talib Kweli and Passion Pit, The Walkmen and Girl Talk — A&O Productions books for its concerts. This year's edition of the A&O Blowout follows in that vein, with the combination of the infectiously likeable dance duo Matt & Kim and the notably political rapper Lupe Fiasco. After taking a look, the superficially odd bill starts to makes more sense. Last year's Blowout offered a decidely single-genre show with performers Kid Cudi and Snoop Dogg, but by booking diverse acts this time around, A&O has ensured that a more varied set of skills will be brought to Welsh-Ryan Arena on Friday night. What exactly does each artist have to offer? North by Northwestern has the answers.
Matt & Kim:
It is fair to say that red flags should go up when listeners encounter a band where both the keyboardist and the drummer — the only two band members — readily admit they had no experience with their instruments before starting out. Make an exception for Matt & Kim, though.
Matt & Kim started out in 2004 with an intense love for Brooklyn and singing along to Biz Markie. But five short years after Matt Johnson and Kim Schifino released their self-titled first album, the goofy pair will take its danceable, indie music and feel-good vibes to Welsh-Ryan Arena for the A&O Blowout on Nov. 4.
Matt & Kim's recorded tracks do not come close to doing them justice. Their energetic, quirky live shows cannot be replicated in an iPod or on YouTube. The closest a curious new fan can get to the true Matt & Kim spirit is probably the music video for "Lessons Learned," where they undress (yes, completely) in Times Square over the course of the song.
One Matt & Kim gimmick is Kim booty dancing toward the crowd while a few fans hold her up by her legs. During a performance at Chicago's own Metro last fall, the crowd even persuaded Matt to try, but he was much less successful. They are not a one-trick band, though, and will periodically change up their shows.
They occasionally start off their sets by running onstage belting out "Where Brooklyn At" by Biggie Smalls featuring Tupac. In a show on the Jersey shore – the place, not the guido-populated reality show – they ended a set by sprinting into the Atlantic Ocean alongside shocked fans. They have also been known to encourage a Biz Markie "Just a Friend" sing-along mid-show.
That is certainly not to say that Matt & Kim's music is not enjoyable by itself. They've put out three solid and fun albums. Some of their best songs include popular titles like "Daylight," (above) "Yeah Yeah" and "Cameras," along with tracks that challenge their tried-and-true mold like "Turn This Boat Around" (below) and "Light Speed," which one fan hilariously depicts in MS Paint. No matter what the tune, Schifino and Johnson belt it out in a way that makes people want to get up and dance, whether in a big venue or in a school library.
At the end of the day, what seals the deal for Matt & Kim's likability is the authenticity of the pair's onstage personality. At Lollapalooza 2010 they were noticeably humbled just to be playing in the late afternoon, instead of having a morning act on a tiny stage like they did just three years earlier. On stage, the two tease each other in a comfortable way that has a way of making listeners wish the musicians were their best friends. Johnson once even took a playful dig at his band mate's chest size, which she took in characteristic stride.
It is a refreshing change of pace from bands that strive to put on a huge show without regard for audience experience. Matt & Kim's quirks make them lovable while enhancing their music, not detracting from it. They come to play and entertain, not to put together a flashy, arrogant performance like so many other perfomers.
At Welsh-Ryan their contagious smiles and happy-go-lucky attitudes will steal the show. Their sound is drastically different enough from Lupe's to ensure that everyone will have something memorable to hang onto from the night.
Lupe Fiasco:
So, beads of sweat are dripping off your nose and you're dying for some water. You danced like crazy for Matt & Kim's set and you just aren't sure what Lupe Fiasco has to offer. You're thinking about leaving Welsh-Ryan early. Warning: if you take off now you're going to miss one of the most talented MCs in the business, with a penchant for articulate, provocative rhymes and some of the best instrumentals in hip-hop today.
Since Lupe released his first mixtapes in 2006 he has become well-known for defying many of the stereotypes that surround his genre. Entertainment Weekly has referred to Fiasco as a "Nietzsche-spewing, skateboard-riding Renaissance man," and the rapper's lyrics only confirm that he's more than the average hip-hop artist. On his 2006 debut album Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor, his hyperpolitical rhymes shined on tracks like "Hurt Me Soul" and "American Terrorist;" the former finds Lupe rattling off a laundry list of America's cultural problems in surprisingly catchy couplets, while on the latter he discusses his experience as a Muslim-American.
What separates Lupe from some of his politcally savvy peers like Dead Prez and Immortal Technique are his delivery and production — both of which are smooth enough to help market his potent messages to a larger base. Food & Liquor featured beats constructed by two of the titans of hip-hop production, Kanye West and The Neptunes, and was critically recognized for carrying on the new sonic trends set by these producers. Lupe's rhyming abilities also gained notoriety when he was featured in songs by more prominent rappers like Kanye West; the MCs' masterful rapping over tracks by Gorillaz and Eminem on his Touch the Sky mixtape (released in 2006, the same year as Food & Liquor) helped cement his reputation as a unique force in the genre.
Since the early days of his career Lupe has become more of a polarizing force in hip-hop circles. Fiasco rode the momentum behind his skate-rap anthem and Food & Liquor hit "Kick, Push" to drafting Jay-Z and Snoop Dogg for his albums. On The Coolest, Lupe's 2007 sophomore effort, the MC refined his accessible sound on singles like "Superstar" and "The Coolest," while still hanging on to his original political expertise with tracks like "Gold Watch."The Coolest was well-received by hip-hop critics and pop music fans alike, and garnered even more attention when Lupe announced that it would be the penultimate album in his career.
This is where things got contentious for the rapper. Lupe was signed to a contract with Atlantic Records and eventually began to publicize that the label was preventing him from releasing his third album, tentatively named L.U.P.End but later renamed Lasers. After fans staged a protest in New York City last fall Atlantic agreed to release Lasers in March 2011. The album was a departure for Lupe because it featured a live band with a rock 'n' roll sound — "Words I Never Said" is more Rage Against the Machine than Raekwon — and was met with poor critical reception.
Fiasco's Northwestern appearance Friday is likely tied to the new mixtape he's dropping later this month — one that many of his fans are hoping will show him returning to his pre-Lasers form, since he's outside of Atlantic's jurisdiction. Either way, Lupe's new band-based live act has been earned solid reviews and should be well-received at Welsh-Ryan.

I love this picture of Silas because it sums him up so perfectly.
No Fear, Adventurous, always on the go!
He is now officially jumping off of everything he can, he falls all day long...but always gets back up and keeps going! It is so fun (and scary) to watch him play.
And because he is cute, here is a few more....:)

Netflix has released a new trailer for their upcoming series Altered Carbon, which is an adaptation of the cyberpunk novel of the same name by author Richard K. Morgan. The project is from writer-producer Laeta Kalogridis (Alita: Battle Angel, Shutter Island) with a pilot shot by Emmy-winning director Miguel Sapochnik (who helmed the "Battle of the Bastards" episode of Game of Thrones).
The fast-paced, murder mystery combines explosive action with mind-boggling sci-fi concepts which could see the Netflix original become one of the most widely watched new shows this year.
Consciousness can be digitized, human bodies are interchangeable and death is no longer permanent... Now little more than a vessel, the bodies that carry us around are referred to, rather glibly, as sleeves.
The show revolves around character Takeshi Kovacs, an ex-Envoy soldier who is brought back into a "world he doesn't recognize" in order to solve the attempted murder of Laurens Bancroft, the world's richest man. Joel Kinnaman's Kovacs, formerly a Japanese man whose consciousness has been (for now) downloaded to a tall Swede's body - it remains to be seen whether the series will cover his other bodies, using other actors.
Jonathan Bernstein: Joe Arpaio piles on GOP's primary woes
She is also seen as a strong GOP contender for the Senate seat in a possible run against Democratic U.S. A high-resolution version of Obama's birth certificate can be downloaded from the White House website .
Who is in the cast of Altered Carbon?
Now, to make sure we are properly foaming at the mouth come Friday, 2 February, Netflix has given us a seriously kick-ass new two-minute trailer... He was awesome in "House of Cards", and it looks like he's going to be awesome in this too.
Will Yun Lee (Hawaii Five-O) and Dichen Lachman (Agents of SHIELD) will feature in recurring roles. Bear in mind, it's pretty x-rated: good for fans of shirtless, slime-covered Joel Kinnaman, not great for the violence-adverse. Netflix has its very own cyberbunk television series, which begins streaming Friday, February 2nd.

Since I was a child, I've been obsessed with photographs, probably because I'm of the generation between nothing and everything. Our grandparents often left behind so few photographs that we try to excavate their history with words alone. But our children, with smartphones, can document their lives every single day and send Instagram pics worldwide to relatives as well as strangers.
Working on a memoir, this winter I keep turning back to two books: "Letters to Memory," the first memoir by Karen Tei Yamashita, a prize-winning novelist published around the world; and "10-Mile Radius," the first memoir by photographer Cat Gwynn. Both are California natives investigating how photographs, archives, memory and narrative work but in vistas of remarkable opposition.
Yamashita, born in Oakland, raised in Los Angeles and living in Santa Cruz told me about her project in May, showing me some of the extensive archival material she inherited from her aunts, her parents and her extended family, including photographs, letters and documents. The photographs are stunning records of American history, especially the images of her ancestors. But Yamashita doesn't merely recount the family stories behind these pictures or set them alongside vital statistics of war and betrayal. She interrogates the cruelty of internment and the random nature of immigration, war, birth and death and disease through her own probing, lively correspondence: Letters to Poverty, Modernity, Death, Love and Laughter but also addresses to Homer, to Ishi, the last Yahi in California, and to Vyasa.
The irony and dark humor of Yamashita's interrogations, of her nimble prose and sentences, illuminate the tragedies. Posed portraits, of Yamashita's grandmother along with nine other picture brides, young women leaving Japan to marry Japanese-American men in California, have a gravity and beauty of detail impossible to replicate now. Then, we see the family packing for internment and standing in the doorways of the crude cabins at Tanforan, in California, and Topaz, in Utah. The stark details of life in black and white are here. But Yamashita breaks our hearts with the story of her father's college friend at UC Berkeley, Nobuo Kajiwara, who leaves internment by enlisting in the Army in 1943, whose life ends terribly at Anzio, Italy, and who shows up in this diary entry, dated August 26, 1942. It was the second wedding anniversary of Yamashita's aunt Kiyo, living with her 1-year-old baby in a converted racetrack horse stall at Tanforan camp in California: "Chizu planned a waffle party for our anniversary, and we all enjoyed waffles. Nobu Kajiwara made the party possible by bringing the eggs and butter…"
Yamashita marvels at two items packed for internment: "I wonder about the waffle iron and the vacuum cleaner, if they made it from Tanforan to Topaz…You always read about Topaz and the dust storms that lifted the desert sand in blinding swirls and penetrated everything, seeped into the barracks and frosted the interiors…You can't imagine that the Hoover upright survived such abuse. This wasn't urban household dust…this was grit and living creatures – scorpions…" She speculates on her father's plan: "What the heck, maybe it will come in useful…They didn't confiscate it, and who's defining what we can carry anyway?...The first stories I heard him tell about camp were these, chuckling in glee, as if to assure me of comic relief."
Yamashita's mother, Asako, died in 2015 at age 98. Yamashita, working on this memoir, writes: "Occasionally I set before her these letters, and she perused them silently, without comment…Living with her for over a decade, I heard her memories surface and recede, change and solidify, cloud and diminish." It is even more vital in our present political climate to have this record of an American family. In 2016, a spokesman for a pro-Trump PAC, asked about the candidate's plan for a "Muslim registry," said, "We did it during World War II with Japanese."
Cat Gwynn, born in Glendale to a mother born in Glendale, documents in vivid color and exquisite detail her life in Los Feliz as boundaries tighten and constrict after she's diagnosed with cancer. Her memoir is a fascinating contrast, with the narrative of her own body, her inherited genetic markers for cancer, the excoriating attacks of chemo and radiation and her idea for survival: Turn each day into a victory, over three years of treatment, by photographing her intimate surroundings, while walking to radiation, while watching the people nearby, while seeing the smallest ornament of bird or leaf or door handle against the larger vista of sidewalk or sky.
Gwynn's narratives are Southern Californian to the core, beginning with the description of her mother teaching her about the waves: Never turn your back on the ocean, and You've just survived the washing machine. Really, her mother teaches Gwynn what she will need to survive a larger vortex. "Cancer reduced my life to a ten-mile radius. I traveled to and from treatments. I saw doctors, went to physical therapy, psychotherapy, and acupuncture; I took vitamins and herbs, juiced, did Reiki and yoga, and meditated." But it was art that saved her. "Steroids diminish the side effects of chemo, and one of the byproducts of steroids is insomnia. Imagine being sapped and amped at the same time…As my neighborhood slumbered, I sat propped up in bed with my phone processing photographs…processing my feelings, working them through filters, finessing tone, building depth…I crafted my photographic pilgrimage and sent it out into the world, all from the palm of my hand."
Using her iPhone, using apps and filters, using her eyes and her own text to tell the story, she created a narrative I read again and again. The captions were like haiku, giving shape to an image of a discarded candy wrapper on a sidewalk where the tiniest plant emerges in a crack; to hospital corridors, ripped screen doors, secret stairways wrapped in gold fabric and to people she encountered on the street. Two favorites because of their implied narratives: Drought, a photo that could only be taken here in Southern California, an old metal sprinkler head buried in cracked golden earth, dried purple jacaranda blossoms trumpets of the end; and Angel, a haunting textured image of a young man with a shaved head, who agrees to the portrait because of Gwynn's shorn skull, standing under metal beams, Los Angeles tattooed on his cranium as the city is imprinted inside the consciousness of the author.
Straight is a Critic at large. Her new short story "Princess of Valencia" will be published by Amazon Originals in February.

Mike Tyson Dissed At Chile Airport…Here's Why They Just Kicked Him Outta The Country
Mike Tyson got dissed by the Chile equivalent to the FBI on Thursday (11-19-17). All the brotha was trying to do was make his paper for a gig he reportedly had scheduled, but authorities were pretty much like 'Hell to the naw! Well…'Diablos al no!' is more like the message the boxing icon was given at a Chile airport.
Here's what happened:
Tyson showed up to the airport and was met by Chile detectives as he was exiting his plane. Apparently they'd been given a heads up that he was arriving in their country and couldn't wait to send him right back to where he came from.
Detectives de #PolicíaInternacional reembarcan a Mike Tyson por no cumplir con Ley de Extranjería. pic.twitter.com/hTVadRENkO
— PDI Chile (@PDI_CHILE) November 9, 2017
The PDI Chile agency even took the liberty of posting a photo, on Twitter, of their agents escorting the champ through the airport. Their message translates to:
"Detectives of #Policial International reappear to Mike Tyson for not complying with the Immigration Law."
Apparently, Chile has strict laws against convicted felons from foreign countries and they made that message loud and clear to Tyson. He fits into that category due to his 1990's rap sheet. In the 90's, he as convicted of assault and cocaine possession and served three years in the pen' after a beauty-pageant contestant claimed he allegedly raped her during her visit to his hotel room.
Tyson was reportedly in Chile to participate in a promotional event for a Chile TV channel.
Damn, Chile gave Tyson the Rodney Dangerfield treatment: He gets no respect…no respect at all.

Thought I was gonna get up & do stuff this morning..
Was near after 10 by the time I got together, tablets, epo, catheter, washed/brushed etc!
Got to Wood Green and found neither me or dad had any change. For some reason he didn't want to ask anyone for change ????
So bought the frozen food shopping first! then we leave it in the car on a hot day!??
I don't get it.. Anyway we ended up getting into a dumb argument about that.
Then in TK Max I'd intended to look at smart shirts, all he could do was make smartarse comments about the original prices and take the piss.. I pointed out that yes people DO pay 60 quid for a shirt with a label even if they are all produced in some sweathouse in china but thats society for ya.
He's a great one to talk anyway as he buys 98% of his clothes from M&S, who although they have their uses, are pretty expensive anyway. And its all cheaply made in China or wherever.
Anyway his comments just put me right off so I came away with nothing..
I know I've forgotten a load of stuff I was gonna do & get down there so really the trip has been a waste of time and money..
I usually think of things late at night, intend to write them down & then think I can remember them in the morning and fall asleep.
When I wake up of course I can't remember JACK!
So.. its 12:38 pm and I've done sweet FA of any use whatsoever!
I am also a bit p'd off with a few people for being infantile jackass's online. They should grow up & know better.

The He-Man series by Mike Young Productions got its DVD-debut in 2004 for the European market. Germany, Netherlands and Finland got varying amounts of episode-releases to DVD.
Finland got the entire first season released on DVD with 4:3 ratio and one thing I found interesting was the menu-screen for the DVDs.
This screencapture is from DVD Volume 1 that contained the first three episodes of season 1. There are no extras and only finnish-dub is available. But the background-image used in this menu-screen was very familiar-looking...
It actually is a cropped version of a Wallpaper-image from He-Man.org, done by Emiliano Santalucia. I don't know for sure if the webmaster over there or Emiliano were contacted about using the artwork. I certainly hope so.
On the DVD there is no credit given to He-Man.org website, but what I also found fascinating was that whoever decided to use this artwork on the DVD used it propably because the cross is the familiar symbol for He-Man.
However in the cartoon by Mike Young Productions, He-Man doesn't wear a cross-symbol on his harness so the reference is lost to any new fans. Instead the cross can be found on Prince Adam's belt-buckle.

by m. james moore
"What good is a super hero without anyone to save?" he thought. He wasn't exactly a super hero, but he did have reign for a very large city on a major continent, completely bent to his power. He wasn't the mayor, he wasn't an oppressive counsel member, he wasn't the pope. In fact, he was the only one in the entire city.
A vast forest of concrete all to himself. Yes, he was alone--or so he thought. He didn't know how, he just knew. It was creepy at first, but now it doesn't seem so bad. He'd actually secretly daydreamed being a super hero for some time, particularly at the office, but he could never decide on what the best power would be for him. Not that most super heroes got to choose--most became super heroes BEACUSE of some weird power. Perhaps it was his sheer desire to escape that landed him in his predicament then. Perhaps God was toying with him. Perhaps this was his own personal 21st Century Eden, he thought.
He had, really, all he needed to survive. Food supplies everywhere, running water, shelter, and closets of clothes. But at first it was really creepy, especially for a pint-sized fellow like him. You don't see too many people of his stature around in the business world, and one rather stout person of the same height greeted him in his office that morning. She must have been new or something, because he didn't recognize her, but she knew his name. She greeted him and gave him a postcard, that had a beach photo on the front, and on the written side, was some sort of slogan, saying "Choose Waikiki." The little lady had disappeared, and he thought nothing much of it and stuck it in his briefcase, as it was time to go home.
He was coming down the elevator, but when the doors opened at the bottom, the usual hustle and bustle was nowhere to be seen. He thought perhaps he'd left later than he thought and everyone'd already gone home--especially since he was alone on the ride down the elevator, which, after a Friday workday in a tall bank building in a huge downtown gauntlet of giant concrete warriors, was a miracle in itself.
What was even more odd was that there was no traffic, either. Not one vehicle, not even parked. He immediately guessed that his super power was either the ability to stop time or immunity to whatever to whatever took away all of the people. He decided against the time theory, since cars would be still in the street, and people would be in mid-stride. Yet, it was so intensely quite--and frankly a bit unnerving.
So, he stood there about 15 minutes waiting for perhaps some cab to roll around the corner as usual, but nothing. Not even pigeons. He kept a small pocketwatch in his briefcase, so he opened the case up. The click-click echoed more than he'd liked it to, but there was nothing inside it. Not even papers he could have sworn he'd just put in there not 25 minutes ago.
It was still fairly light out, almost as if it were just the afternoon, and at a comfortable temperature, so he decided to stroll to his high-rise apartment, which really wasn't that far away. Along the whole way there, he marveled at the landscape of the once bustling metropolis, now as silent as a frozen pond. Still no cars, no people never looking up at you as you pass, no tenants yelling at their landlords, no squad cars twirling their lights.
Before he got home, he stopped at a nearby parking garage. Not a single car in sight. Had he missed some mass evacuation? That certainly would have taken a bit longer than his elevator ride down a 40-story bank. He saw a TV on inside the key-holding booth, and turned it on when he entered the unlocked door thereof. Static. Flipped channels, static. At least the power was still on. Of course it was, the traffic lights were still turning red to green in their predetermined sequences, now directing only wind, which didn't mind signals anyway. He went home.
The front door of the apartment was unlocked, which was highly unusual, but by now not much else could surprise him, so he thought. He walked up the creaky stairs, put the key up in the apartment doorknob, but instead of going in the hole, the key simply pushed the door open. Shrugging, he pulled off his tie and wondered if the cute chick next door's door was open, too. It was, but his Eve wasn't there. He took a seat in one of her fluffy chairs, almost too tall for his short body and began flipping channels on her TV. He thought he saw something, but it went to static right away and going back didn't do anything. He went back to his place, changed into some jeans and a "I [heart] NT" T-shirt, strapped on his belt, and went downstairs to hunt some grub.
The Pasta Shop across the street was vacant, like everything else, so he went inside and made himself some noodles. They weren't too shabby for his first try, and they did the job.
Now he needed to explore, and the office building across the street looked just fine. On his way over, using the crosswalks out of habit, he noticed the sky hadn't changed any, as if the earth had just stopped moving. Like everything else but him.
The office building lobby, like any other, looked just like he'd guessed it would, minus the people. Waiting area with magazines, teller windows and customer service assistance desks, all way too tall for him to look over--he guessed an insurance office. He sat down at someone's desk--Franklin Mortimer, the name plate said-- and flipped on the computer. He opened drawers, looked through files, ate the candy on the desk, and dilly-dallied on the computer. He did notice a postcard in the middle drawer, though, strikingly similar to the one the lady had given him earlier. After thinking about it, he went to pull it out of the desk again, but when he opened the drawer, it was gone. Nowhere.
He was getting rather bored with this, so he went back across the street and back home to his second floor apartment and went to bed, because he was starting to feel a bit droopy. So ended day one.
He woke up with a startle the next day, so he thought, from the sound of a door slamming. He wasn't sure if he'd dreamt it or was just really hoping to hear something, but he DID remember dreaming of running really fast, carry about ten too many boxes, and suddenly tripping on something, causing him to wake up so suddenly. He wasn't really sure he'd heard a door slam at all. What we was also sure about that the silence in the room -- and everywhere -- was just too odd. The fact that there were no people or birds or cars or honks or bustle or spiders (thank God) wasn't the creepiest thing. The silence.. it seemed to have a noise of its own. He could almost make out a pitch but then suddenly couldn't. He decided to try and forget the silence and explore again. He figured the movie theatre a few blocks down would be open, and it was. So was a music shop along the way, where he picked up a CD he'd been meaning to get. When he also passed an electronics store, he gave up on the movie theatre on the premise he probably couldn't operate the projector either, so went for some speakers he saw in the window of the electronics store. It wasn't stealing, he decided, because no one was around -- or even existed for all he knew -- so he was the only person he could commit an offense against and he didn't mind.
Lugging the big box home did wear down his sneakers a bit, and his fingers had to practically be pried out of their long-held L-shaped position. He still needed another side, though, so he went and got another speaker of the same size, this time having to make stops and rest before continuing. He'd never thought he could walk down the 89th's street in broad daylight carrying a huge box with an ultra quality speaker and not get mugged, and that brought up another thing he noticed that day.
All during his walk up and down 89th to his apartment, never once did the clouds move, or did he see the sun. It was somewhat breezy, but still deathly silent, so he could tell some sort of weather still operated. It looked the same as it had the day before, and frankly he couldn't ever really noticing a nighttime. Anyhow, he got the speakers home and propped them up into the screened window facing out, and after an hour or so of wire-tinkering, managed to get the audio to work on his stereo. He put in the new CD, set it on infinite repeat and turned it up enough not to blow the speakers. Now he had some sort of beacon in case he got lost in the gigantic maze of stone-walled structures. It also broke up the silence.
He'd never quite been to the area around 34th street before, and since it was such a long was down, after recovering from his trek for speakers, he packaged up some fruit and water in a backpack he found in the cute chick's living room, and set off. He got probably 10 or 12 blocks before he had to strain to hear the music. He was chewing on an apple bite before he realized the music was starting to get louder. Had he just become disoriented after resting a few times and had inadvertently turned back by mistake? He concluded not when he saw the next street sign: 33rd. He kept walking toward the music, which was indistinguishable from the CD he'd picked. The next street sign: 144th. Pardon? He didn't recall there ever being more than 112 numbered streets. The what blew into his mind was so bizarre he'd almost discarded it as nonsense before actually pondering over it for more than a second. Maybe he'd actually come to the border of whatever city this was that only looked like his, minus noise, people, cats, and cars, and had ended up into some crazy PAC-man oriented universe. He decided to test the theory, and put an apple right there on the sidewalk, and would walk back in the other direction to go home then keep going and see if he found an apple way down at the other end.
The trip back seemed a lot further, even though he made sure to count each street number on the way back down. He made it back okay, went to his apartment and shut off the music, and after telling himself that he'd take a short nap., he fell asleep. He'd definitely had his exercise for that day, and so ended day two.
Fortunately no startling wakes this time, but when he got up, despite being a bit sore from walking such distances, he noticed he hadn't shut the door. Not the door to his bedroom, but the front door to the apartment. Thinking for a moment, he couldn't remember shutting it, much less locking or bolting it as usual. Maybe he was becoming too comfortable with that place, whatever it was.
It was still as bright as usual, and he packed up his things, including some extra items he didn't really need but could use as markers. Not too often you see a rubber ducky waiting at a bus stop. He took the rubber ducky, a can of green beans, a bright yellow raincoat, and a neon orange bowling towel. He'd seen some great binoculars in the electronics store the other day, if there even were days in this place, and, leaving the backpack at the door of his building, went and retrieved them.
They didn't really turn out all that handy for what he had in mind. He figured he might be able to see himself down the way or something along those lines, but no luck. So, he ventured off to 144ths street, if there was such a place.
After taking a few rests and such, particularly to stop and read signs of restaurants and shops he'd never heard of and were peculiarly misspelled, he eventually made it to 143rd, where he took a longer than normal rest, as he was getting a bit weak. A fruit and water diet wasn't so uncommon for him, but walking though a city with no cars or people or birds or signs of intelligent life except massive pillars of concrete designed for those very things was indeed uncommon.
He stooped to the curb to rest, out of breath. He couldn't quite see if the apple was there or not, being a whole block back away,, but didn't recognize the canopy sign above him. It wasn't really a restaurant looking place, but more of an office, with one incredibly long hallway that went too far back. It seemed to end up on the other side of the skyscraper. He took out his binoculars and focusing them down to the end of the hallway, he saw a door there, with a beat-up looking coating-chipped brassy doorknob. . Upon better focusing, he took the binoculars from his eyes and for the first time in the barren city-world, spoke something. It was more like a yelp, thought, because what he saw spooked him beyond anything he'd encountered there. The doorknob was jiggling, as if someone on the other side was trying to open it unsuccessfully, being locked. He hesitated to put the binoculars back up to his eyes to confirm what he though he'd seen, hoping he didn't. He did.
As if separated from himself and in shock of someone being there with him, he was both excited and frightened.
Hope that it was that cute chick from across the way quickly turned to worry that it might be someone responsible for this strange place. He became filled with anxiety, as it appeared the jiggling became more intense, as if the door was about to open, or as if whatever or whoever was on the other side was becoming frustrated with the lock.
In a panic, he wanted to run grab the apple, the reason he'd come so far to star, but decided against it, in case whatever it was might be just around the corner, but out of the corner of the view saw what looked like a man's shoe peeping around the corner of the block. He would have seen that shoe had it been there before as the streets had been remarkably unlittered of anything, even running water or blowing ATM receipts or whatever. A puddle of something red oozed next to the shoe, soon, which is when he decided to bolt in the other direction. Mind racing, he knew no matter which direction he ran, he'd be both running toward and away from whatever it was behind him, or in front. All he wanted to do was get back inside his apartment, but what really could he do there? Quite suddenly the deathly silent and comfortable place was a completely different place to him. The pack on his back still open, things kept rustling out as he ran. He heard the squeak of the ducky as it landed on the pavement, which made him run even faster--he wasn't sure why.
He eventually made it to the apartment building, which looked the same as it ever did. Instead of the elevator, he went for the stairs, which he dashed up so fast he didn't even know if anything was behind him, but it seemed so. His breathing catching up to him, his carelessness in his footing and his terror-ravaged mind didn't even realize he'd tripped on the door jam in his bedroom. He hit his head on the edge of the wooden bed-post, and blacked out.
He woke up with a huge knot on his head and still dizzy. He didn't feel like going to work that day, then remembered where he was. He looked to the bedroom door, which was wide open, but the front door was clearly locked. He started to get up, and got some fruit from the refrigerator when he heard something. He was still dizzy, and had a massive throbbing in his head, but the sound was clear. It was an elevator chime, and the doors of one such contraption opening. What was even more bizarre was that it came from his own room. He stammered in, wearily looking around, and there it was, standing wide open, right there where his window was. He went to look out the second window, to see if an elevator shaft had sprouted up from nowhere, but couldn't see any. But sure enough, it was standing there wide open, waiting for him, or whomever, to go inside. He thought about it, and asked himself whether he really should. He got his answer soon enough.
The doorknob of the locked front door of his apartment suddenly began jiggling furiously without warning, and without thinking he dashed inside the elevator and pushed the CLOSE DOORS button. Then he saw the area where the floor buttons should have been--there were only two large buttons. One said DOOM, the other said Waikiki. He would have imagined the DOOM button being on the bottom, but it was on the top, as if Waikiki was a lower floor than DOOM, then also wondered if someone had switched the button covers to fool him into going to DOOM when he actually wanted to go to Waikiki. Nonetheless, he still punched the button marked Waikiki and waited.
Sure enough, the elevator began to move. Down, he thought. Perhaps DOOM is where I was, he reasoned. He looked up to the floor counter light, which was a digital readout instead of a simple light up panel, and for a good reason. "Candy Shop," "Taj Mahal," "Atlantis," and "Ganymede" passed by before abruptly stopping at "Waikiki." The elevator took a moment to adjust leveling as most elevators did, and the doors opened.
He got out, and trod, still a bit dizzy, onto sand. He heard the doors close behind him as he looked around. It was exactly like the photo on the postcard. He turned back to the elevator, but it was gone. He felt for it, but found nothing. However, once his vision came back, he did see three figures nearby some sort of railroad vehicle with a big sail on the top. He rubbed his eyes to focus better. There were two boys tending the vehicle, and a short stout figure nearby. Believing he was far away from whatever jiggled doorknobs, he strode up and looked her square in the eye, and sure it enough, it was her. He didn't recognize the two boys, but they nodded and continued their work, at what looked like preparing the small transport for use. The lady never said a thing, and nor did he, for he knew the four of them would be leaving in it, himself included. He just knew.
The two boys finished whatever they were doing, the lady sat on the front bench and patted the seat on the wooden seat she was on nearby to her for him to sit, and he did. The two boys sat on the back bench, completing the capacity of the device, and the unit began to move, across the railroad tracks built up over the shore and across the water into the thick mist. In the distance he could see a tall blue-hued city, but they weren't headed that particular direction. Somehow, he knew whatever was out there would give him some answers.

August 3rd 2016 will mark four years since D-day and five years since my husband made the choice to commit adultery.
I have full details of what the adultery entailed (basically 12 shags in a one year period and a few weeks where he went to live with her after I asked him to leave – not because I knew about the adultery but because his behaviour was becoming increasingly erratic) but to be honest, the details, after all this time really don't traumatise me quite like they used to. The sorry and sordid story will always remain but somehow, time has reduced its capacity to paralyse me emotionally. It's like I've got to 'meh' (apathetic, uninterested, and indifferent). It happened. Not my circus, not my clowns. I don't doubt for one minute that much of my 'meh' is a direct result of my husband's behaviour over the past four years; his remorse and his behaviour towards me in helping me to heal. I have also been resolute in my expectations of him to help my healing. But somehow this 'meh' which I see as acceptance is not enough.
We are close: closer than we have ever been. As I observe his behaviour and feel his genuine remorse, it's like I've been woken up by a new version of my husband. We have not had a night apart since D-day and we have spent an incredible amount of time together. We have actively created fresh memories and over time, carved out a new identity for our marriage; one which is highly considerate of the other's feelings and thoughts. But, for me, I sense a kind of barrier; one that is created by me, and I suspect I know what it is. It is my inability to forgive him for what he did.
Forgiveness, for me, has been the single most challenging aspect of healing from betrayal and I have previously blogged about my struggle with the entire concept. I know all the platitudes that get thrown about: 'forgiveness is a gift you give yourself'; 'forgiveness is the tool that helps you move on with your life'; 'if you hold on to your anger it will stop you from healing'; 'if you don't forgive, you let them live rent free in your head', but, quite frankly, I have been unable to buy into these simplistic notions because I have found forgiveness to be a very complex concept to get to grips with and it's unlikely that one size could possibly fit all circumstances. However, just recently, I chose to revisit the concept to see if it might be possible for me to move from acceptance to forgiveness. Not simply as a 'gift' as in the Christian ethos but as a human process between people. In my case between the betrayed and the betrayer.
In my search for a greater understanding, I found a book by Charles L Griswold entitled Forgiveness; a philosophical exploration. As the title suggests, it is not a religious argument, but a philosophical one which offers an analysis of forgiveness as a secular virtue (a behaviour which shows high moral standards). It has helped me enormously to understand what might be happening and what needs to happen in my marriage if I seek a full reconciliation and a sense of peace. The backdrop to the book is what is considered to be the human aspiration for reconciliation in the face of an impossible to remedy, imperfect world. Sort of sums up my marriage. What proved insightful in this book was the focus on the relationship between forgiveness and reconciliation. So, although a very general and far reaching discussion of forgiveness which includes both personal and political forgiveness, I was able to draw many parallels with regard to forgiveness in marital recovery after betrayal. Following adultery we are confronted with the stark reality of a past that cannot be changed; what Hannah Arendt termed "the predicament of irreversibility". As Griswold notes, there are only a small range of options open to us when this happens; "forgetfulness, avoidance, rationalisation or pragmatic acceptance" (He doesn't mention murder!) I recognise that I have opted for pragmatic acceptance. However, forgiveness is quite a different response and for Griswold it is a concept that comes with conditions attached.
Historically, forgiveness was not always seen as a virtue. Ancient Greek philosophers viewed the wrong doer as inferior and simply not worthy of any sentiment other than contempt. But modern ideas routinely link resentment with forgiveness and this has shifted the discourse. Part of a theological framework, resentment became a moral hatred. It is deliberate response aroused by perception of unwarranted injury and embodies a judgement about the fairness of the action. It is aimed at the injurer and is reactive and fosters a retributive passion that seeks punishment. I imagine most betrayed spouses can identify with this feeling. However, as Griswold points out, what resentment also commonly suggests is a view "that it harbours something suspect, perhaps mean and belittling. Not a complimentary description." So one can begin to see the contradictions we face in our response to adultery. On the one hand, resentment can be seen as the most appropriate response to our moral injury, but on the other hand it is deemed an unwanted or 'difficult' emotion that reflects badly upon us. I know that I have felt deep resentment towards my husband and it is this emotion that I am struggling with now. Up until now I have felt fully justified in my resentment, almost nurturing it, as Griswold notes "resentment can provide a certain satisfaction to its owner; it may contain an element of pride" but if this is what is creating a barrier for me between my husband and I and if I do want to explore the possibility of forgiveness it is clear that I will need to consider my resentment towards him and it might just be that the timing now is right. As resentment can be seen as my response to being lowered in value or diminished, it has impacted upon my self-esteem by lowering it. However, over the past years I have recovered a much stronger belief in my own rank and value so this may help me to overcome my resentment.
Resentment also embodies the demand that the wrongdoer show the proper respect and be accountable for not having done so. As my husband has constantly and diligently met my demands for respect and accountability I have become more and more aware of my reluctance or inability to change my perspective on his betrayal. For the first time I have now begun to look at our marriage from the perspective of what I might do to help our reconciliation as well as what he needs to do. Rather than constantly looking back at what he did wrong maybe I could look forward to a future that we might carve out for ourselves which really does transcend the adultery. Forswearing resentment doesn't mean I have to give up all my negative feelings associated with his betrayal. I can still feel sorrow or disappointment towards him, however, I need to overcome my contempt and scorn for him, and I think I'd like to do this if I can. Griswold suggests that for the process of forgiveness to occur I need to only commit to giving up my resentment and this sounds realistic to me and definitely possible. Especially when I look at the six conditions that Griswold lists as must be met by the wrongdoer if they seek forgiveness. They are:
- Acceptance that he was the responsible agent for what happened. A failure to recognise this is a denial and adds insult to injury and undermines the possibility of trusting it won't happen again.
- A repudiation of his deeds by acknowledging their wrongness and a disavowal of the idea that the deeds would occur again. This repudiation (if sincere) is a step towards not being the same person.
- He must experience and express regret at having caused the injury to me. Not just feel regret but communicate it to me.
- He commits to becoming the sort of person who does not inflict injury and this must be shown through deeds and words. Then, the repudiation of past self becomes credible but the burden of proof is his.
- He must show he understands from my perspective, the damage done by the injury. This entails listening to my account and grasping it with compassion. He must exercise sympathy in the sense of putting himself in my position and understanding what being in that situation meant for me.
- His regret needs to offer some sort of narrative accounting for how he came to do wrong, how that wrongdoing does not express the totality of his person and how he is becoming worthy.
For Griswold, anyone who satisfies even some of these conditions cannot be characterised as a moral monster. My husband satisfies each condition. So now the focus turns to me, the forgiver. What transformation needs to occur in order for me to forgive? Well something that I need to recognise is that if I have a commitment to forgive him it would be conceptually incompatible for me to exhibit behaviour that signals a failure to forgive such as hanging on to lingering resentment and reminding him of his misdeeds. In doing this I am using a form of manipulation, even humiliation. Regrettably, I know that I have been doing this so I need to consider the four steps that I need to take which are:
- The forswearing of revenge
- The moderation of resentment and the understanding that resentment does not simply respond to a revision of beliefs. It will require significant intellectual and affective effort.
- The commitment to let resentment go altogether
- Change my belief that he is a 'bad person' by reframing my perspective. Seeing him in a new light, distinguishing that 'part' of himself that is responsible for the injury from the 'whole' person, on the basis of trust in the future.
This reframing of my perspective towards him insists that I look forward rather than the alternative which is to look backwards and simply excuse his behaviour. There is no excuse but instead a credible narrative in which the offender takes the required steps and I, the injured grasp events from his perspective and have reason for trusting that his promise for change is real.
What is absolutely essential (and what has probably taken me this amount of time even to be open to the possibility of forgiveness) is that the nature of the injury is deemed forgivable by me. This is in contrast to the Christian notion of the one directional gifting of forgiveness. I will never be able to comprehend this view, derived from the New Testament, emphasising the moral necessity of responding to wrongdoing by accepting it, turning the other cheek, and re-embracing the offender in an act of love or compassion. I actually think it could create further problems where adultery is concerned. Again, citing Griswold, "To forgive someone undeserving of the honour, under the banner of a gift may condone the wrongdoer and even provide encouragement to more offences". Equally, if I am to change my perspective towards my husband, I have to see myself in a new light. I need to drop my moral superiority and in its place recognise our shared humanity. I need to stop defining myself as the person injured by adultery by this person. In this light, "forgiveness is, so to speak, a vote for the victory of such values as respect, growth and renewal, harmony of self and reconciliation, affection and love". There is also the alleviation of guilt that is likely to follow from my forgiveness which can have enormous consequences for my husband's wellbeing.
It does seem a bit harsh to claim that because my husband has committed this terrible deed that he is reducible to those deeds and is thus absolutely unforgivable. This ignores what I believe is the human capacity for remorse, choice and moral transformation. No doubt, there will be some adulterers who turn out to be incapable of any remorse or moral transformation but in four years I have no reason to suspect that my husband is anything other than remorseful. He has convincingly depicted a change of ways that have unfolded over the past four years. He has shown that he is not just an adulterer; that adultery is not 'all' of him and indeed he is becoming 'his better self'. This is the narrative of change.
Forgiveness in this style is fundamentally an interpersonal process whose success requires action from both the injured and the injurer. Running through Griswold's philosophical account of forgiveness is the key theme of growth for both the forgiven and the forgiver. Working towards forgiveness is "not just a rupture with the past, let alone its obliteration, but its reinterpretation and integration into a larger narrative – that of a life as a whole". A decision not to be determined by the past alone. There is both a reversal (a new perspective on injury) and a continuity (one remains the same subject of the various chapters).
"Forgiveness does not reiterate the past but promises renewal without forgetfulness, excuse or condemnation of past wrongs. It rejects the Platonic 'narrative of nostalgia' – a tale of yearning for another, better world accompanied by a determination to flee from this one" So, for Griswold, forgiveness is a process rather than an end result. It's about adopting a different perspective and attaching a different meaning to it.
I have found Griswold's discussion which suggests that forgiveness is a conditional process extremely helpful and it has helped to shift my thinking on how to respond going forward, four years post D-day. Of course, everyone's experience of adultery and betrayal is different and every adulterer's response will be different, but for me, identifying the conditions required for forgiveness has softened my approach to my husband because he has met all the conditions that Griswold suggests are required for me to make a commitment to forswearing resentment. And after four long years, it's like I might be able to finally let go. At the least, I will commit to letting it go.

|Mr. Dong-Joo Lee of Korea
I am Dong-Joo Lee, an exchange student from Sogang University in Seoul, Korea. I am majoring in economics. A great deal of economics knowledge is written in English, so fluency in English is essential for studying economics. For upgrading my English, I am now taking two classes in the Pilot Program of the Loyola Intensive English Program (LIEP), as well as some courses in other fields at Loyola University New Orleans.
Students in the Loyola Intensive English Program have the opportunity for meeting their own tutor. As a student in the Loyola Intensive English Program, I have a tutor. Generally, I meet him twice a week for one hour each session, during which I get advice about writing essays and engage in English conversation with him. I certainly feel satisfied with this tutoring program, and I think it is one of the merits of the Loyola Intensive English Program. So I want to let students know about this tutoring program, and I decided to create this blog post. This post handles the LIEP tutoring program from top to toe, so that you will know the tutoring program better after reading it. I have done several interviews to investigate the LIEP tutoring program.
First, I met Ms. Jess Haley, who is the LIEP Academic Director. One of her tasks is to administer the tutoring program.
I: Can you briefly introduce what the tutoring program is?
|Ms. Jess Haley,
LIEP Academic Director
JESS: Of course! The tutoring program is a special characteristic of our Loyola Intensive English Program. Frequently, intensive English students have difficulty making friends with native English speakers and starting natural conversation with them. So we arrange for each LIEP student to work with a U.S. American who is a university student: either a graduate student or an undergraduate student. The tutors can help LIEP students with their homework assignments, but also they can help them culturally adapt to New Orleans. So LIEP tutors frequently become really good friends for LIEP students.
I: What benefits do you expect for LIEP students from this tutoring program?
JESS: I think that LIEP students can get a lot of benefits. They get a lot of realistic practice in a way that they cannot get in the class. They also have fun with tutors because it is not class and they do what they need. They can talk about U.S. American television, New Orleans culture, and Mardi-Gras. They can do that with tutors rather than with their teachers whom they can confront in the class. I think one of the most important things for LIEP students in tutoring is that they get to choose what they want to do during tutoring. So if students feel that they want to practice pronunciation more or they want to practice reading more, they can choose what they want in their tutoring. It is their choice. I think that's important. They can have power in language learning.
I: I guess it will be demanding to select a nice tutor for this program. What kinds of qualities do you think are important for a tutor?
JESS: Oh, that's an excellent question. I think the most important quality for tutoring that I look for when I interview with people is interest and diversity of culture—interest in knowing more about the world and how different people are. Also I would frequently like to choose tutors who have already traveled at least in two or three countries. Not only do they understand that culture is a diverse phenomenon but also they have experienced the same feeling as our LIEP students do—the feeling of being in a new place where you feel kind of alone and different from everyone around you. Our LIEP tutors have experienced that, too, because they have studied abroad and have been in other countries, so that they can be considerate toward their tutees.
According to Jess, there are six LIEP tutors, and each of them works with two to six LIEP students depending on their schedules. I found that Jess considers this tutoring program as a really special aspect of the Loyola Intensive English Program, and she feels proud that LIEP has this tutoring program.
Next, I wanted to hear a tutor's thinking about this tutoring program. So I met with LIEP tutor Mr. Evan Davenport. Evan has grown up in a suburban New Orleans neighborhood. He teaches English in a U.S. American High school. He also teaches English at a church in a Vietnamese neighborhood. Evan has a B.A. in creative writing and an M.A. in teaching English. He wants to continue his education, planning to teach English in Vietnam.
I: Why did you apply for this tutoring job?
|Mr. Evan Davenport,
LIEP Tutor
EVAN: Because it is a rare opportunity to teach students. If you want to be a teacher, you have to compete against hundreds of other people. There are very few teaching jobs. Most schools are not just saying, "Here are students. We want you to teach them." But the Loyola Intensive English Program said, "We will give you some students for tutoring." So I thought it was a great opportunity to practice teaching skills.
I: I guess you have definitely met students from diverse countries. How is it working with them?
EVAN: When you travel, you meet new people and experience new cultures. Well, I can stay in my room. But serving as a tutor, I have met people from new cultures. It is almost as good as traveling. Also, it really teaches me who I am.
I: What do you think is the fastest way to learn English on the basis of your experience?
EVAN: This is kind of theoretical, but I will give you an answer. If you are a student trying to learn English, I suggest you find a boyfriend or a girlfriend who only speaks English. I promise you that you will learn English so fast. And it doesn't matter how much in your own country you read and listen to English; unless you are interacting, it's not effective. If you want to learn English, go to an English-speaking country and don't speak your own language. It will be difficult at first, but it will force your brain to adapt to English. If you are using English, you will learn it quickly. After that, watching U.S. American media would be better than nothing. All language only exists for interaction. Language is interaction. If we did not interact with anybody, there would be no sustainable language.
I: When you have a tutoring session with a student, what kinds of activities do you do?
EVAN: Well, it depends on the level of the student and the student's ability. I will speak about LIEP students, because we are talking about the LIEP tutoring program. Every activity that we do requires reading, listening and speaking. Writing is a little bit more difficult for me to teach unless the student comes to me with writing already done. For example, if a student comes to me and has already written an essay, I can teach writing very well that way. When we are going to read an article together, I am going to read the article so that the student can hear me read it. We are going to talk about the article so the student has to speak to me and has to listen to my response. So reading, listening and speaking are key activities.
I: What kinds of qualities do you want to see in your tutees?
EVAN: I have some LIEP students, who, Instead of walking around campus and making U.S. American friends, stick to each other and go out to party with each other. Last year, I had some students who only spoke their own language because they hung out only with each other. This is not desirable. If you came here to learn English, you have to use English. Students want to go to parties on the weekends. They can do that. That's great. Partying is a wonderful way to learn English, but you should use only English at the party.
I: Do you want to leave any words for students whom you have met and will meet?
EVAN: Yes. It is important that my students know that I do this not because it is glamorous and means getting money, but because I love to do it, I am okay with it and I am good at it. I might stop teaching them at the end of the year. Even though they might go back home, I am still going to be their friend and teacher. Just call me or e-mail me, so that I continue to teach them. It is just what I want to do.
It was nice to know a tutor's attitude and mind toward the LIEP tutoring program. Next, I held interviews with three tutees:
- Mr. Jérémie Ben Guigui of France is taking the intermediate LIEP course. He is learning English for employment because having command of English will guarantee a nice job in France.
- Ms. Katya Dashkovskaya of Russia is also taking the intermediate LIEP course. She loves traveling around the world. She thinks that knowing English will make her travel easier since English is a vehicle language in the world.
- Sister Theresa Le of Vietnam is taking the advanced LIEP course. She considers learning English necessary in adapting to the United States.
I: Is this tutoring program working well for you?
|Mr. Jérémie Ben Guigui
of France
JEREMIE: Yes, totally. My tutor has introduced me to his friends. So with them, I can have conversation in English. This conversation helps me understand English easily. Since I have some U.S. American friends I can speak English with, I have learned some idioms and expressions, which I can't learn in the class. Also, my tutor helps with my homework, and it is really nice. He is always here in Loyola whenever I need him because he is a Loyola student. So, I can readily ask him a favor about studying English.
|Ms. Katya Dashkovskaya
of Russia
KATYA: Actually, yes! My tutor introduces me to interesting lessons. We usually listen to U.S. American songs and try to understand the meaning of the words. Also we read articles and books, and discuss them. These lessons are really interesting and fun for me. And I have usually tried to catch every opportunity for speaking with native English speakers. So before the start of the tutoring program, I wanted to speak a lot with a tutor who could fluently speak English. When I have tutoring sessions with my tutor, we have a long conversation and work on how I add words and sentences together. It is really helpful. Also, the tutoring program shows me two sides of English: formal and informal. In the university, professors try to use formal English. If you aren't born here, you can't know slang and informal English. By talking with tutors, I can tell the difference between informal and formal English.
|Sister Theresa Le
of Vietnam
SISTER THERESA: Sure! Sure! I like to study English with my tutor. I usually ask her to help my writing, because writing in English is very different from writing in Vietnamese in the aspects of logic and word structure. And sometimes, I choose the topic we can focus on, and we talk a lot with each other on this topic. It helps me speak English and correct my pronunciation. Also when I don't have time to ask my professor a question, I ask my tutor. Through those activities, I have been improving my English. In addition, I have learned how to be open to other people. When I lived in Vietnam, I just made some close friends, enough for me. In the United States, we need to make more friends. My tutor said that I needed to get more friends and be open to everybody. I think it is kind of the U.S. American culture, which I acquired through my tutor.
I: Still you have much time to spend with your tutor. What do you want to do with your tutor from now on?
JEREMIE: Maybe I will try to do special activities such as lager-tagger, and I want to discover good places to enjoy in the French Quarter.
KATYA: Deeper understanding about English and U.S. American culture. So I want to walk around some places with my tutor. It will be great for my tutor to introduce me to something interesting that can be a real example for understanding cultures. I guess it will be really hard for tutors to find some places and walk around. But if a tutor goes out with me once a month, it will be nice. I think it is a really good idea that I can do with my tutor. Surfing the Internet could be a substitute.
SISTER THERESA: What I did with my tutor is enough for me. I ask her something that I don't understand about English, and she spends time explaining it to me. Tutoring is very helpful to me. I think my tutor is special about English because she is U.S. American. I don't know many things regarding English, so I will ask my tutor those things.
I: Is there any word for tutors through this interview?
JEREMIE: My tutor is helpful for me. And I really thank him for this tutoring.
KATYA: Sometimes, conversation with my tutor is really hard. I don't know how to say and explain some ideas. Nevertheless, my tutor is always considerate and thoughtful with me. And there is one thing that I wish my tutor to do. It will be great that my tutor prepares for some interesting topics or shows me something interesting because I am a new person in this country. I want to catch everything new for me and helpful for my family.
SISTER THERESA: I thank you, my tutor. You are very friendly, and I am very thankful for your kindness. I would like to strongly let you know that this tutoring is very good for me who chose to study English
Thanks to these three LIEP students' cooperation with this interview, I could know about the real benefits that this tutoring program provides for them. I also found that students were quite satisfied with the LIEP tutoring program.
I deem the LIEP tutoring program very worthy for students who are learning English as a second, third, or fourth language. This program picks out adequate tutors who are qualified with a brilliant mind and excellent abilities in English. Also, the activities that LIEP students can do with their tutors are really beneficial for learning English. If there are students who hesitate whether to apply for this tutoring, I would like to encourage them to do it!

A huge thank-you to Mr. Dong-Joo Lee of Korea for presenting us with this excellent overview of the LIEP tutoring program from the point of view of our LIEP Academic Director, one of our LIEP tutors, and three of our LIEP students. Thank you, Dong-Joo!

This has been the most ambitious project I've undertaken in this genre; I've used the software at my disposal more during this assignment than ever before. All of the effects and techniques that I hear below, I discovered while composing. I feel like I've learned a great deal about the possibilities of some of the software I own, but I know that there's going to plenty more assignments to follow and stretch my knowledge further.
I spent most of the composition process building the individual sound objects — I made about twenty, and I had a difficult time piecing them together into a single composition. Read on

|Birds are definitely our friends when it comes to insect control!
I live in Florida where we have many year-round resident birds and also many northerner birds that migrate here during the winter. I've heard folks say we should never feed birds during the summer but I feed seed and suet year-round and the birds still help with the insect control. We have a bunch of tiny little Warblers visiting the area now and they are constantly eating tiny gnats. Our screened porch is right on the water and those little birds will cling to the screen picking off the gnats. Spring is on the way and I will miss our winter visitors when they head back north in the next month.

'La Mancha' Composer Protests Infringement
MANHATTAN (CN) – The Tony-winning composer of "Man of La Mancha" and other Broadway musicals claims in Federal Court that a website is infringing on his copyrighted work.
Mitch Leigh sued against Kritzerland Inc. and Bruce Kimmel in Federal Court. Leigh claims that Kritzerland.com has engaged in "unauthorized reproduction and distribution of copies of the original cast album for the musical 'Cry For Us All,'" as well as "unauthorized streaming of the six musical compositions included on the cast album."
Kimmel, who also goes by Guy Haines, is described in the complaint as "an actor, director, author, composer and record producer, best known as the director of The First Nudie Musical." The revival cast album of "Hello, Dolly!" brought Kimmel a Grammy nomination in 1994.
Leigh meanwhile describes himself as "the author and the copyright owner of musical compositions included in the dramatic musical work 'Cry For Us All.'"
He says Kritzerland "infringed the copyright … by reproducing no less than 1,000 copies of each composition and distributing those unauthorized copies without permission of the copyright owner."
All in all, Leigh claims there are 10 songs from the musical that Kritzerland and Kimmel are wrongfully streaming and distributing. The complaint also claims that "Kritzerland Inc.'s powers, rights and privileges have been suspended for failure to file a tax return and/or failure to file appropriate forms with the California secretary of state."
Readers in the New York metropolitan area may recognize 85-year-old Leigh from a quirky local commercial in which he solicits "nice people" to live in a planned community he owns and has been developing in Jackson, N.J., for the last 40 years. He seeks damages for copyright infringement and is represented by Eric Osterberg of Stamford, Conn.
