  • Forum Terror in the God-Shaped Hole: a Buddhist Perspective on Modernity's
    FORUM TERROR IN THE GOD-SHAPED HOLE: A BUDDHIST PERSPECTIVE ON MODERNITY’S IDENTITY CRISIS David R. Loy, Ph.D. Bunkyo University Japan ‘‘Hell is truth seen too late.’’ (Anonymous) ABSTRACT: Religiously inspired terrorism can be understood as a response to a fundamental problem of secular modernity: the ‘‘God-shaped hole’’ that motivates it. The key issue is identity, and the anxiety that lack of secure identity arouses. Secular values undermine the ontological identity that religion traditionally provided. By devaluing such religious solutions to the ungroundedness of our constructed sense of self, the modern/ postmodern world aggravates the sense of lack that it cannot understand and with which it is unable to cope. This may seem too abstract, but the problems created are all too real. This essay discusses these problems and adumbrates a Buddhist solution. This challenge requires a spiritual growth that involves confronting our lack – that is, opening up to the groundlessness that we dread, which turns out to be a formless, ungraspable ground. INTRODUCTION Why would a small group of people want to crash hijacked airplanes into skyscrapers, killing thousands (including themselves) and terrorizing millions? Perhaps only religion1 can provide the motivation and collective support for such heinous deeds. Does this mean that religious terrorism can be dismissed as just another example of religious fanaticism? Much more needs to be said because there is a ‘‘logic’’ to such fundamentalist terrorism, which makes it a regrettable but nonetheless understandable reaction to modernity. Mark Juergensmeyer (2000) and Karen Armstrong (2000) have shown that religious fundamentalism is not a return to pre-modern ways of being religious.

    Warner Music Group Annual Report 2007 NYSE: WMG www.wmg.com A Message from Chairman and CEO Edgar Bronfman, Jr. Dear Fellow Shareholders: Industry transitions are times of great opportunity, and there is no doubt that the recorded music industry is in the midst of a significant and fundamental transformation. Of course, opportunity does not come without its challenges and this year, Warner Music Group continued to meet and address the challenges of this transition head on, laying the groundwork for future growth. The transformation of the recorded music industry will require not only a clear vision and a progressive strategy to radically alter traditional business models, but also leadership, continued financial discipline and resilience. At Warner Music Group, we are creating the foundation for future growth and believe we have the right strategy in place not only to effectively navigate through these difficult times, but also to reap the rewards of the recorded music industry’s evolution. Looking back on our fiscal 2007, we made meaningful progress in many different areas. Sustaining Digital Leadership During fiscal 2007, digital revenue grew 30% to $460 million or 14% of total revenue and, in the U.S. we once again reported digital SoundScan album share substantially above our physical share. Building upon our digital leadership is essential as the recorded music business rapidly shifts from physical to digital. We entered into selective partnerships across business models that are aimed at driving expanded monetization of our content through new products in the digital space. These partnerships included the acquisition of a majority stake in Zebralution, a German digital distribution company, as well as deals with social networking site, imeem, and online retailer and music discovery site, Lala.com.

  • Carnival Games
    CARNIVAL GAMES 1. Each team should have a carnival game at their camp site. 2. Teams can choose to use the games as a fund raiser or not. 3. Each team should try to pick a different carnival game. 4. Teams should choose games that are family friendly and kid safe. Balloon Pop / Balloon Piñata Bank a Shot / Flukie Ball Bean Bag Toss Baseball Toss Make a target out of plywood or foamcore (available at art supply stores) for baseballs. Paint the board with a fun sports design and cut out holes large enough for the baseballs to go through. Each player gets to throw three balls at the target. Basketball We have used both the standard size basketball goal and kid-sized goals. Players get three tries to make a basket. Always a long line for this! Beat the Dealer This is basically blackjack for kids. It's more fun with giant playing cards, but regular cards work fine too. Just as with blackjack, the player tries to beat the dealer's hand without going over 21. Brain Teasers We had a table where parents used the Brain Quest cards and asked grade-appropriate questions. Break-a-Plate Set up specially made carnival break-a-plates in front of a background. Player throws three rubber baseballs to try and break a plate. Variation: Picnic Plates: Set up the game with a picnic-patterned tablecloth as a background. Don't forget to add some plastic ants for atmosphere. Bumper Cars Construct a short straight "track" that a small car or truck can run freely up and down.

  • Carnival Game Ideas
    Carnival Game Ideas Carnival Game Ideas This list will get you started towards creating a fun-filled carnival! There are many possible variations on these games. We have listed a few to get your creativity flowing. We carry supplies for many of these games and activities in our Schoolcarnivals To Go Catalog. AIR HOCKEY While only two people can play at once, an air hockey table is an example of a game you can rent from a local rental company. If you're lucky, maybe a family would loan one for use at your carnival. ARCHERY / WILLIAM TELL Make a target out of plywood or foamcore (available at art supply stores) for arrows. You can use a bow with foam arrows or a suction-tipped child's archery set. Paint the board with a fun design and cut out holes large enough for the arrows to go through. Each player gets to shoot three arrows at the target. We have bows with foam arrows in our Catalog. ART PAVILION Provide an area where kids can be creative. Walk the aisles of your local craft store for ideas, or check party supply catalogs (Oriental Trading Company is especially strong on craft supplies). Variations: Art Exhibit: Have a student art show along with your carnival. If you like, invite local art experts to award ribbons or prizes by grade level. Spin Art: Rent or buy a spin art set up. You can use a salad spinner if your budget is tight. Painted Desert: Players fill plastic bottles with colored sand. These are also available as bracelets, necklaces, and key chains.
