| Who is going to put out the fire?
But there can be no hope of a satisfactory resolution, no answer to who is going to put out the fire when such a trail of slime leads to the White House like a "missing" 5 million emails that will not be accounted for, so long as corruption is rife in our Congress, as long as millions of Mexicans invade America for the sake of slave labor, and so on. While chatting with a friend yesterday, a recovering alcoholic, it once more occurred to me no one who has not experienced the addiction can possibly understand the hellish kind of prison such addicts make for themselves, the kind of lunacy they live with every day of their lives. Likewise, those who have not experienced the kind of hopeless despair to be found in places like Watts can possibly understand such a thing. But most people should be able to understand the German fellow I worked with in the shops following WWII telling me that before Hitler his family was starving, but after Hitler came to power there were meat and potatoes once more.
SEPULTURA Guitarist KISSER To Play Two Gigs With His 'First Band ...
"I'm going to do two gigs with old time friends, my first band ever, ESFINGE (SPHINX). We started in 1983, we all studied in the same school and had the same musical taste. We played from TWISTED SISTER to VENOM. It was a great way to learn the guitar and we had a great deal of fun. We performed everywhere, birthday parties, schools, carwash parties, etc....great memories."
SEPULTURA recently finished filming the second video from their "Dante XXI" album, for the song "Ostia". The clip was shot on March 3 at a studio in São Paulo prior to the band's departure for their European tour. During the following week, the video crew and the main actor shot the outdoor scenes in downtown São Paulo. The script, which adapts the story from the book "The Divine Comedy" to the modern days, was directed by Geraldo Moraes.
Pole position: Forget the shady image - women say this dance is ...
RALEIGH, N.C. - Sonya Bruton likes her latest exercise routine because it gives her something in common with her 10-year-old: a chance to learn something new.
"You forget what kids have to go through to learn things," says Bruton, who is 39 and, in addition to her job as executive director of the N.C. Community Health Center Association, finds time to teach cardio funk, cycling and body sculpting. "Some things have to come in stages."
It may seem odd, though, that the pursuit that lets Bruton connect with her child is a mainstay of men's clubs worldwide: pole dancing.
But it's not sex that the three-month-old Aradia Fitness Center in Cary, N.C., is selling. It's a brand of feminism.
"We provide a place for women to come and feel good about themselves, to develop their self-esteem," says Terri Kerr, owner of Aradia, a dance studio specializing in sensuous dance centered on a floor-to-ceiling brass pole two inches in diameter.
City volunteers offer visitors free travel guides
University and college students in HCM City have founded a volunteer group named Sai Gon Hotpot to offer free travel guide services to foreign visitors to the city. "Our objective is to meet foreigners and introduce Vietnamese culture, history and culinary arts to them," Sai Gon Hotpot manager Nguyen Thi Phuong Linh said. "We also want to do our part to promote Vietnamese tourism and to learn other languages from foreign tourists," Linh said. The group, whose slogan is Your Smile Is Our Success, has gathered 11 students from different colleges and universities in the city. They can speak many languages, including English, French, Japanese and Chinese. "We met in a youth volunteer programme last year and then became close friends because we all like volunteer activities," Linh said.
When the workplace turns torturous
With his crusty wisdom and jungle lore, Dr Don Jong, dubbed The Oddfather because of the unusual fixes that he offers, takes up another session, dipping into the world of Bobo Jitter, the eternally baffled CIO of Bazooka Company. Dr Jong, as we have seen, has a special skill for handling the curious challenges of modern workplaces. I am aware, because of the work I do, that I am being paid for generating code that makes machines do the work that people would otherwise have to do, Doc. Its called programming. It seems just amazing, but I get this feeling of being compelled to perform constantly at Bazooka. Like a coding monkey with a clock attached to my head that counts money every two minutes no matter what I do. Youre describing the common workplace syndrome, Bobo, says Dr Jong, wagging a finger at Jitter.
Masahiro Murata
Masahiro Murata, 35, is a hair and makeup artist whose salon, MaQueen, just behind the Kabuki-za theater in Ginza, is a sanctuary for both his loyal clients and staff. Murata loves people, and especially beauty in them, which he believes manifests itself in the way one treats others. As one of Japan's top hairstylists, for five days a week he works almost 15 hours a day, and he spends the other two traveling around the country doing workshops for professional hairdressers in styling, perms and cuts. As famous for his technique and style, he is more about substance than anything else. .
