Book Review..The Story of French
2008-06-23 06:13:00
The Story of French. Jean-Benoit Nadeau and Julie Barlow.St Martin's Griffin.2006.450 pages and appendices.This book is divided into four parts.It attempts to trace the origin,spread,adaptation and changes of the French language.And pretty much succeeds in doing that.I found the chapters on the spread of the language to Africa and North America very interesting.There are also some thought provoking remarks on the rise of cultural diplomacy and soft power in later chapters dealing with the language adapting to post 1945 conditions."Of course like religion and ideology,language can contribute to(or detract from) a country's influence in traditional spheres such as diplomacy.Japan is the world's second economic power,yet its language (like its religion) has little influence,making Japan's overall influence in the world weaker."pgs 285,286.The book contains a lot of facts and figures and information I'd never given much thought to or even heard of.Case in point is an organisation k...

The Story of My Ass
2008-06-07 03:17:00
Once upon a time, there was an old miner who was traveling through the desert with his trusty mule of many years. All of a sudden, the mule fell over dead. The old man buried his old friend and put up a cross as a grave marker. He wrote on the cross, "My Ass". Then he continued on his journey. Years later a town grew nearby the grave. The road into town went right by the marker, so the town adopted the name out of respect for the dead mule, that had taken care of the miner. It had become somewhat of an historical site. Then one day, a traveling salesman, who was lost, wondered into the old desert town, but didn't notice the marker. He saw a man on the street and stopped to get directions. The salesman asked, "Could you please tell me where I am?" "Sure," replied the old man. "You're right on the edge of My Ass." The salesman was puzzled by what the man said, so he decided to ask someone else. He thanked the man and continued to what appe...

The Story of a new blast
2008-05-26 00:00:00
In one of my earlier post I had discussed about the blast at Mumbai. Its is been more than a year since then, and here we have the latest blast at Jaipur. In this long one year our government is yet to start their initiatives against these terrorists. Condolences, political visits to the site and everything else is still on, but ask them what is the action they have taken to prevent these things from happening again and you would not find an answer. At times I wonder what could be the reason to this? Probably the reason is that in the recent past there has been no instances of terrorist attacks or, blasts where a renowned politician has been killed. Oh! so that says it all. Then what is the need to panick and ponder over security measures. Just relax my dear politicians, till it happens. Just a couple of days before the blasts, there was news that the Border Security Force thwarted an attempt by infiltrators aided by the Pakistan military enter the Indian territory. The next day, th...

It captured the essence of the story
2008-05-17 17:13:00
A review of the new musical based on Jane Eyre recently premiered in Redlands, California has been published in the Redlands Daily Facts:LifeHouse's new musical "Jane Eyre" accomplished what I think is most important in the adaptation of a book: It captured the essence of the story."Jane Eyre," the 46th new musical in the theater's 14 years, is based on the novel by Charlotte Bronte. Of all the books I had to read in high school, it was one of the few I liked. I have read it a few times since then.Jane (Jennifer DeWitt) has a Dickensian childhood and becomes a governess at an estate in England. She and the master of the house, Edward Rochester (Tedd Smith), fall in love and plan to be married before the revelation of a mystery and Jane's morals force her to leave.LifeHouse is, of course, a Christian theater, and works Christian themes into all its productions. In the case of "Jane Eyre," it was in line with the book. Producer Wayne Scott in his message in the program cited Jane'...

Day 95: "The Story" with Dick Gordon
2008-05-14 21:00:00
As I became more sure of my vocation, I found myself telling everyone I could. Only months before, I hid this part of my life like a dark secret, ashamed or maybe unworthy of the desire that stirred inside of me. These days, I'll tell almost anyone about my vocation story: strangers, customers, even talk radio shows.For those unfamiliar with NPR, one of it's more endearing programs is called The Story. It's a candid look at regular people in America doing extraordinary things in their lives. I remember years ago hearing a story of an 80 year old man who decided to join the seminary after his wife of nearly 50 years passed. It's a show that brings stories of interest, wonder, hope, and even laughter.Several weeks past I sent them an email about my life and what I was deciding. In short time I was contacted by the studio and scheduled for a phone interview. Today I went into the local NPR studio at Grand Valley State University and recorded my story with Dick Gordon. I'm not sur...

The story that won't go away...because Jason Taylor will not let it
2008-05-14 06:15:00
I'm as sick of this story as anyone right now.  But it just won't die, and this time that is thanks to Jason Taylor himself.  In a blog for ESPN The Magazine, Taylor wrote the following: It'll be strange to see [Zach Thomas] in another uniform this coming season but that's the league nowadays. He'll go continue his legacy in Dallas, and I'll go and continue my legacy in…oh, I'm not talking about that right now. Continue your legacy where?  Where, Jason?  Tell us! Seriously, this is something he didn't have to write.  This story had seemed to quiet down for now since the draft last month.  But then Taylor, who is a smart guy, just had to add in that little part above.  Think about it.  Taylor could have easily said he'd be continuing his legacy in Miami, and then that would be that.  And even if it wasn't true and he did still want out of South Florida, he could have just written "Miami" just to keep things quiet for now...

Jacob, USA, 17 years old…" Before I tried out legal ecstasy I was skeptical about these so called party pills, I didn’t think it could be full of these absolutely legal and natural ingredients and I didn’t expect the incredible effect!!!A month ago I ordered 3 bottles of XTZ from the site www.thepartypills.info, which I found accidentally… a week and a half later the ecstasy arrived. I didn’t think that they have a good effect, that’s why I didn’t try them right away and left them for the next party.The day came. The night I took 1 bottle and I ran towards the party. All of my friends were there… As soon as I got in the house I took one pill… I felt the effect almost instantly – a unique tide of energy, that made me feel incredible. I gave my friends a couple, because I saw, that they were not having much fun… like me, they were skeptical about it, but right after they tried it they changed their opinion about legal drugs! The night was incredible!!! I gave leg...

The Owl's Song: Domestic Violence: the Story of a Dancer
2008-05-07 16:39:00
The Owl's Song: Domestic Violence: the Story of a DancerStory of a dancer named Eva. She was a victim of domestic violence, and another example of how her pastor told her:What was the pastor's counsel? (He told me this with tears in his eyes.) He had told her to be more submissive. He told her to obey her husband and to strive to please him in every way. He told her that if she did what the Bible said, God would take care of her and her children. Now she was dead.What haunts me most about this story is not that Eva suffered abuse and was brutally murdered. It is not that her two children now had a daddy in prison and a mommy in Heaven. It is what my pastor said. He was a young man, good hearted, kind and earnest. He said to me, in distress, "Perhaps I should not have told her those things. Perhaps I should have helped her get away from him."Perhaps?Very moving read!

The Story Behind Tungsten's Name
2008-05-02 19:36:00
Every now and then when I tell people the name of my dog, they look at me with an odd look of curiosity. Honestly, I can't blame them. Tungsten isn't exactly something you hear very often, unless of course you work with a http://www.webelements.com/ every day. I was exchanging dog stories with a business partner yesterday and, naturally, the history behind the name came up. I shared with him the story of how Tungsten's name evolved. Here's how it goes:When we were in St. Lucia for our honeymoon, we spent a good portion of our trip talking about whether or not we should get a dog. After we returned home, we decided it was time to name this imaginary dog that we hadn't found yet, so we started randomly selecting names that reminded us of our time in St. Lucia. We would walk around the house/yard and say, "Here Lucia! Here Lucia!" We quickly decided that sounded stupid, especially since we knew that if we got a dog, it would be a male dog. We even tried other names such a...

Also from MF. Loved the story, not only because it rings true to me but because it is an universal story.I have a not very common Spanish name which automatically limits your interaction with the labour force. (Bottom of the pile if you may). We have a saying that although crude might reveal something. You have to be twice as good as the white "man" to be paid like a black "man". Lastly universal, because in Spanish we do have the equivalent of Shinequa or Lakesha and we ourselves will discrimate against them based on a perception of social status. Discrimination is very much a part of all of our lives, from race, to gender, to religion. Perhaps we should start the change at home and not look for people outside our home to recognize something beyond optics.I sometimes go by Bob when people can't pronounce my name. I make it a joke and then give them a made up name like Mark or Daisy.Great post
The story of body size
2008-04-25 18:10:00
I enjoyed serving as a temporary teacher in Heng Ee Secondary School, Penang for a stint of three months. I was very young then. I was asked to teach Malay, replacing a trained teacher who had gone on a Malay course – a requirement for teachers who were trained in English before as the medium of instruction would be changed to Malay. Cycling to work was a novelty for teachers because most of them drove to school. The headmaster allowed me to park my bicycle at a designated place away from the boys’. Came pay day and with the cheque I went to the Malayan Banking (now Maybank) to cash my cheque. The casher, being a busy-body, did not believe that I was a teacher as I looked more like a schoolboy than a teacher. She kept telling people that I was too young to be a teacher. Even when I was serving as a trained teacher in Jerantut Secondary School in Pahang, one teacher used to tell the others that I was one of the boys when I was running with the boys in Sports Practice session.

2008-04-25 07:22:00
Thanks Daisy, for telling the story of your name. As you can see, your experience has touched many deeply. For me, it wasn’t so much the name as the legacy. My parents were concentration camp survivors. The message I received growing up was, “Be proud that you are Jewish. But don’t ever tell anyone, because they will want to kill you.” Pretty confusing for a 5 year old. And to this day, I have trouble with my Jewish identity.I remember walking back from school as a child, burying my head into my nape like a crow so that my profile could not be discerned. I liked everything about myself but my nose. If only I could fix that. A friend of the family recommended a cure. She told me that if I rubbed cold cream over the bump every night, the prominence would eventually disappear. My nose would be as even as the prairie. I performed this ritual religiously for over a year. Nothing changed. I remember being told by an acquaintance that I looked 105?% Jewish. His remark left m...

The name is less important than the story.The story says so much. Does it matter what your name is if people treated you so horribly because of it? It's not the name itself, but that the name was labeled as belonging to a race - to black people - and thus you were seen as a black person, thus you were *treated* as a black person in many situations (over the phone, when people knew your name but not what you looked like).Not that a lot of people in this thread are clamoring, but you know. ;)
