“…IF THE GRAVY’S GOOD ENOUGH.”

August 25th, 2008 by Louie b. Free

Hopefully you have not heard this 'saying' :

"One can even eat shit if the gravy's good enough"

I've recently heard that saying bastardized : " You can eat anything when there's enough catsup on it"

Yeah, well not anything and certainly not Mr. Catsup or should I CORRECTLY say : "KETCHUP" ?

Sadly, I JUST saw John Kerry interviewed (briefly-thankfully) on CNN, while he was somewhere he didn't belong : The Democratic National Convention. John didn't have enough shame to keep moving-no, ...

IN HIS SIGHTS by Kate Brennan

“Was it cathartic?” That’s the most frequent question I hear now that I’ve finished writing In His Sights, the memoir which chronicles my experience as a stalking victim. The eyes behind the query generally share a common reflection: They’re looking for a yes.

I always disappoint. Though I take a few seconds each time to see if my answer has changed, it remains no.

In one way, being stalked is like being abused or being raped. In ...

IF YOU MISSED THE LAST ELLIOT TIBER VISIT TO 'the SHOW'-YOU KNOW NOT TO MISS PART TWO!!!!!!!

Before there was a Woodstock Concert, there was Elliot Tiber working to make a go of his parents' upstate New York hotel, the El Monaco. It wasn't easy. The Jewish clientele who had returned to the Catskills year after year had discovered Florida, and the upstate hotel business was dying.
To save his family's livelihood, Elliot put on plays, musicals, and local festivals. In the process, Elliot became the area's official issuer of event permits--not that anybody else wanted that position. Elliot even worked weekends as an interior design artist in New York City, all in the hopes of helping his family.
In the summer of 1969, Elliot Tiber's life changed in a way he never could have foreseen. Greenwich Village had become the mecca for gays in America. There, Elliot had socialized with the likes of Truman Capote, Tennessee Williams, Andy Warhol, and a talented young photographer named Robert Maplethorpe, and yet had managed to keep his gay life a secret from his family. Then on Friday, June 27, Elliot walked into the Stonewall Inn--and witnessed the riot that would galvanize the gay movement in the United States. And on July 17, when Elliot read that the Woodstock Concert promoters had lost their license to stage the show in Wallkill, he called to offer his help in finding a new venue. In the days that followed, Elliot found himself swept up in a vortex that would change his life forever.
The events that unfolded during that hot New York summer have come to be recognized as major turning points in our cultural history. Few, however, have enjoyed Elliot Tiber's unique view of those events. Taking Woodstock is the funny, touching, and true story of the man who enabled Woodstock to take place. It is also the personal story of one man who took stock of his life, his lifestyle, and his future. In short, Taking Woodstock is like no history of Woodstock you have ever read.

“No matter what else happens, my life will always be divided into three parts: before him, with him, and after him…”

Kate Brennan is like a lot of women: hesitant to love for fear of being hurt. Only her fears prove to be warranted, and the collateral damage she has suffered is far more devastating than a broken heart. Kate is a woman of simple tastes—and a complicated romantic past. So when she meets Paul, a wealthy, charismatic businessman with a great deal of free time, she’s wary of getting involved. Eventually, though, his charm wins her over. But when she catches him cheating and confronts him, the relationship quickly turns ugly. She let Paul into her life with trepidation; but now that the relationship is over, she can’t get him out

Irwin Kula, returns


Irwin just got back from a trip to Rwanda sponsored by the Clinton Global Initiative. He went with a group of leading scientists, film, healthcare and business people. (He was the “spiritual” guy.) The group met with President Kagame and one of the themes they looked at was genocide—how a country is handling its own past, given that perpetrator and victim live side by side, and the lessons learned. Another theme was the juxtaposition of the beauty of the country and the terrible poverty.

Before there was a Woodstock Concert, there was Elliot Tiber working to make a go of his parents' upstate New York hotel, the El Monaco. It wasn't easy. The Jewish clientele who had returned to the Catskills year after year had discovered Florida, and the upstate hotel business was dying.

Louie talks w/Geekonomics author:
David Rice
David Rice is an internationally recognized information security professional and an accomplished educator and visionary. For a decade he has advised, counseled, and defended global IT networks for government and private industry. David has been awarded by the U.S. Department of Defense for “significant contributions” advancing security of critical national infrastructure and global networks. Additionally, David has authored numerous IT security courses and publications, teaches for the prestigious SANS Institute, and has served as adjunct faculty at James Madison University. He is a frequent speaker at information security conferences and currently Director of The Monterey Group.
What is Geekonomics about? Geekonomics is about the astonishing lack of consumer protection in the software market and how this impacts economic and national security. Software buyers are literally crash test dummies for an industry that is remarkably insulated against liability, accountability, and responsibility for any harm, damages or loss that should occur because of manufacturing defects or weaknesses that allow cyber attackers to break into and hijack our computer systems. As a matter of good public policy, this is unacceptable and must change.
Geekonomics is also about us and why we behave the way we do when it comes to protecting ourselves in cyber space. As such, Geekonomics is about incentives. Specifically, Geekonomics is about incentives that affect three groups of people: consumers, software manufacturers, and hackers. Each group has incentives for making, buying, and breaking into computer systems that are rife with defects, errors, and weaknesses. This book explains these incentives and how new and different incentives are necessary to address the problem of “bad” software.
Finally, Geekonomics is a book for everyone, not just for geeks or technophiles, because frankly, in modern civilization, how and when software touches us is less our choice every day

"BUSH GUILTY OF 1ST DEG MURDER" - BUGLIOSI TELLS CONGRESS (click here to watch/listen)

 

Vincent Bugliosi returns !

In The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder, Bugliosi presents a tight, meticulously researched legal case that puts George W. Bush on trial in an American courtroom for the murder of nearly 4,000 American soldiers fighting the war in Iraq. Bugliosi sets forth the legal architecture and incontrovertible evidence that President Bush took this nation to war in Iraq under false pretenses—a war that has not only caused the deaths of American soldiers but also over 100,000 innocent Iraqi men, women, and children; cost the United States over one trillion dollars thus far with no end in sight; and alienated many American allies in the Western world.

Vincent Bugliosi received his law degree in 1964. In his career at the L.A. County District Attorney’s office, he successfully prosecuted 105 out of 106 felony jury trials, including 21 murder convictions without a single loss. His most famous trial, the Charles Manson case, became the basis of his classic, Helter Skelter, the biggest selling truecrime book in publishing history.

 

Whether it’s a delicate green tea or a bracing Assam black, a cup of tea is a complex brew of art and industry, tradition and revolution, East and West. In this sweeping tour through the world of tea, veteran tea traders Mary Lou Heiss and Robert J. Heiss chronicle tea’s influence across the globe and provide a complete reference for choosing, drinking, and enjoying this beverage.

THE STORY OF TEA begins with a journey along the tea trail, from the lush forests of China, where tea cultivation first flourished, to the Buddhist temples of Japan, to the vast tea gardens of India, and beyond. Offering an insider’s view of all aspects of tea trade, the Heisses examine Camellia sinensis, the tea bush, and show how subtle differences in terroir and production contribute to the diversity of color, flavor, and quality in brewed tea. They profile more than thirty essential tea varietals, provide an indepth guide to tasting and brewing, and survey the customs and crafts associated with tea. Sharing the latest research, they discuss tea’s health benefits and developments in organic production and fair trade practices.

YOUNGSTOWN — High school students in Mahoning County facing expulsion for misbehavior will get a second chance to complete their education when Mahoning County High School opens this fall.

The goal is to do all that can be done to assure these children complete their education and graduate from high school, said Judge Theresa Dellick of the Mahoning County Juvenile Justice Center. She has been the driving force behind the development of the alternative education school."

Bugliosi prosecuted 106 felony jury trials, winning 105, including twenty-one murder convictions without a single loss. He is best known for his prosecution of Charles Manson, whose cult-like followers mudered actress Sharon Tate, who was nearly nine months pregnant, and four others in Tate's Los Angeles home in 1969. The notorious case became the basis of Bugliosi's "Helter Skelter," the biggest selling true-crime book in publishing history.

Robert Zubrin argues that the United States is subsidizing a war against itself because of its dependence on oil, a resource controlled by its enemies. He says that if Congress passed a law requiring all new cars sold in the United States to be flexible fueled, OPEC's control on the world's transportation fuel supply would be diminished

A truly global artist, she splits her time between New York City and Japan and tours internationally leading several different ensembles. Just as her career spans international borders, her music spans many genres, blending jazz, contemporary classical music, and traditional Japanese folk music into an innovative synthesis instantly recognizable as hers alone. Satoko joins us from her home in Japan.

FOOD CRISIS

Food Is Different

Globalization has made more food available worldwide to more people at lower prices. But the current crisis demonstrates the limits of globalization and that the market for food may not be the same as for other products.

Gross National Happiness, Arthur Brooks, author of the controversial and strikingly original Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism, reveals the main sources of bliss—and misery—in America. Based on an enormous and unbiased array of hard data, Gross National Happiness offers up some very unconventional wisdom about our happiness as individuals and as a nation.

Sheila Cooper joins us from her home in Vienna, Austria.

Canadian-born, New York-trained singer, alto saxophonist, composer and arranger, Sheila Cooper is -- as saxophone legend Lee Konitz has noted -- "a singer on her horn and with her voice, and that's the best playing for me." Her abilities as both a singer and a saxophonist have landed her performance opportunities as varied as the Broadway stage, jazz festivals, movie soundtracks, nightclubs and tours as a bandleader throughout the world.

She has performed and/or recorded with Nancy Wilson, Clark Terry, Randy Brecker, Kenny Wheeler, David Liebman, Kenny Drew, Jr., Renee Rosnes, Billy Drummond and Scott Colley.

MISTAKES WERE MADE-BUT NOT BY ME :

Why do people dodge responsibility when things fall apart? Why the parade of public figures unable to own up when they screw up? Why the endless marital quarrels over who is right? Why can we see hypocrisy in others but not in ourselves? Are we all liars? Or do we really believe the stories we tell?

Renowned social psychologists Carol Tavris
and Elliot Aronson take a compelling look into how the brain is wired for self-justification. When we make mistakes, we must calm the cognitive dissonance that jars our feelings of self-worth. And so we create fictions that absolve us of responsibility, restoring our belief that we are smart, moral, and right—a belief that often keeps us on a course that is dumb, immoral, and wrong.

Backed by years of research and delivered in lively, energetic prose, Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me) offers a fascinating explanation of self-deception—how it works, the harm it can cause, and how we can overcome it.
