A little boy wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with Twinkies and a Inside This Issue six pack of root beer, and he started his journey.

As it grew dark, the boy realized how tired he was and he got up to leave, but before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old woman, and gave her a hug. She gave him her biggest smile ever. When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked him, “What did you do today that made you so happy?” He replied, “I had lunch with God.” But before his mother could respond, he added, “You know what? She’s got the most beautiful smile I’ve ever seen!” Meanwhile, the old woman, also radiant with joy, returned to her home. Her son was stunned by the look of peace on her face and he asked, “Mother, what did you do today that made you so happy?” She replied, “I ate Twinkies in the park with God.” However, before her son responded, she added, “You know, He’s much younger than I expected.” Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Embrace all equally!

Excerpted from Installation Speech 6-27-14 - Liz Gassel, TBE President ‘As the first 150 years come to an end, what follows?”, I ask myself, and I ask you? We need a plan. Planning means really taking a good, hard look at what is meaningful to this congregation. And if we create a plan, how can we carry it out? You, our leaders and the entire congregation must take an approach to an organized and thoughtful way forward. After 15 years of being a Temple member, it strikes me that we are a complaint-driven organization. My professional colleagues used to always describe the City of Knoxville as functioning this way. I am so tired of hearing that we “have got to do that” or we “must get this done before this date!” I feel like we are always responding to the latest perceived crisis. We tend to have these routine ways of how to get things done and they are about the NEED of the moment. They can be stressful and they are often how we ask our community to volunteer their time here. As the philosopher, Epictetus says, “Events don’t cause stress. What causes stress is the view you take of events.” Dr. Ellen Langer, a professor of psychology at Harvard, offers that “We live a life that is ongoing, but treat it as if whatever is happening at the moment is the last opportunity we are ever going to have.” Don’t get me wrong, we do accomplish great things. We succeed most of the time in our efforts but we don’t always consider that ‘life is ongoing’, that there is a ‘broader future.’ I come from a profession that values and insists on defining or identifying live a life that is an objective and then a planning process worked out to fulfill that objective. With knowledge of your clients’ needs, you craft a plan - designing, drawing, We ongoing, but treat it and describing a picture of the whole you wish to build. You don’t necessarily as if whatever is happening have to build it all at once. You can think in terms of the next three years or maybe even five years. It doesn’t have to be a ‘long term plan’ which can at the moment is the last sound daunting to pursue. It does not have to be set in stone. Life is always opportunity we are ever changing but at least you have some picture of a future, maybe just a near future of where you wish to be. You visualize it. You work towards it. That going to have. plan may change along the way as life changes. But that is okay. You can’t craft a plan without goals. You can call them themes or objectives. I really want you to tell me what is important to you. We have - Ellen Langer, Ph.D., committees in place…each with its own objectives, but some have no chairs professor of social psychology, and thus no active members. Adult Education, Membership, and Social Justice are a few with no one to lead. Maybe they do not call to you. However, if they Harvard University do, I need you to tell me and ideally step forward and help bring them back to life - or perhaps you could suggest a better approach. Personally, I feel we are in great need of an active way to reach out, to encourage, welcome and follow up with prospective and new members. This could well be our initial objective for this next year or two. However, you, the leadership and you, the congregation are the ones responsible for helping me set the direction of our Kehillah Kedoshah, our Holy Community. Equally important, I need each of you to step up and participate in following through on our shared vision. My personal interest has always been the religious experience, the activity in the sanctuary and all that wraps around it; the learning, the talking, immersing in the depths of Judaism in all its richness and variety. This concern also encompasses embracing the interested outsider, embracing the potential new member family, offering all that Reform Judaism has to contribute to those who crave its inspiration.

  • Red Hot Chili Peppers- Confessions of Sir Psycho "Rolling Stone" (N°679 - 07 Avril 1994) - Kim Neely
    Red Hot Chili Peppers- Confessions Of Sir Psycho "Rolling Stone" (n°679 - 07 Avril 1994) - Kim Neely You might not even notice the photograph if Anthony Kiedis hadn't pointed it out, surrounded as it is by dozens of others. But on closer inspection, the old black-and-white image that graces one wall of the singer's Hollywood Hills, Calif., home has a haunting, timeless quality that sets it apart. A trio of teen-age boys decked out in surf-punk gear, eyes lit by possibility and all- for-one, one-for-all camaraderie: Kiedis, the Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea and the late Hillel Slovak, the Peppers' first guitarist, captured in mid-goof-off by a Hollywood street photographer more than a decade ago. It's difficult to look at the photograph without imagining that the spirit that lent it such poignant resonance is guarding the house and all who pass through its doors. The Red Hot Chili Peppers have weathered numerous traumas since that photograph was taken - Slovak's death by heroin overdose in 1988; Kiedis' struggle to overcome his own heroin addiction; and the abrupt departure of guitarist John Frusciante in 1992 during the most successful year in the band's history - but always, through a career spanning 11 years, six albums and one EP, they've persevered. Last year, the Red Hot Chili Peppers found themselves facing yet another hurdle. During early attempts to write songs for a new album with guitarist Arik Marshall - who had stepped in just prior to the Chili Pepper's Lollapalooza '92 outing to pinch-hit for the departed Frusciante - it became apparent that, as Kiedis puts it, "the emotional connection you need with a new person in your band" wasn't there.

  • 'You're Gonna Need Someone on Your Side': Morrissey's Latino/A And
    . Volume 12, Issue 2 November 2015 ‘You’re gonna need someone on your side’: Morrissey’s Latino/a and Chicano/a fans Eoin Devereux, University of Limerick, Ireland and University of Jyvaskyla, Finland. Melissa Hidalgo California State University, Fullerton, USA. ‘His music is the soundtrack of my life, he reaches my innermost thoughts and fears and aspirations and longing. For a long time, I felt isolated and alone. Only Morrissey comforted me’ - Passions Just Like Mine, (Koch, 2010) ‘What appeals to me most about Morrissey is his look on life… how there can be a depressing side but still find hope and live life to the fullest I guess’ - Passions Just Like Mine (Koch, 2010) Abstract: This article examines the relationship between Morrissey and his Latino/a and Chicano/a fans. We focus in particular on the emergence of a distinct hybridized fan sub-culture in Los Angeles (routinely referred to fans and others as ‘Moz Angeles’). Within media discourse (including print media and numerous documentaries), Morrissey’s status as a second- generation Irish immigrant in the U.K.; his sexual ambiguity and use of queering strategies; his (lapsed) Irish Catholicism; his interest in rockabilly; his ‘Ranchera’-like singing style; his incorporation of Latino/a and Chicano/a themes in his lyrics; as well as his positioning as the ‘outsider’s outsider’ have all been cited as reasons for his appeal to a growing number of Latino/a and Chicano/a fans in L.A., the US and elsewhere. Taking the agentic fan as our starting point, we offer a critical account of the contours of this fan sub-culture.

  • 'Glitter Band and T'new York Dolls
    My childhood is streets upon streets upon streets upon streets. Streets to define you and streets to confine you, with no sign of motorway, freeway or highway. Somewhere beyond hides the treat of the countryside, for hour- less days when rains and reins lift, permitting us to be amongst people who live surrounded by space and are irked by our faces. Until then we live in forgotten Victorian knife-plunging Manchester, where everything lies wherever it was left over one hundred years ago. The safe streets are dimly lit, the others not lit at all, but both represent a danger that you’re asking for should you find yourself out there once curtains have closed for tea. Past places of dread, we walk in the center of the road, looking up at the torn wallpapers of browny blacks and purples as the mournful remains of derelict shoulder-to-shoulder houses, their safety now replaced by trepidation. Local kids ransack empty houses, and small and wide-eyed, I join them, balancing across exposed beams and racing into wet black cellars; underground cavities where murder and sex and self-destruction seep from cracks of local stone and shifting brickwork where aborted babies found deathly peace instead of unforgiving life. Half-felled by the local council, houses are then left slowly crumbling and become croft waste ground for children to find new excitements with no lights for miles. Fields are places in books, and books are placed in libraries. We, though, are out here in the now, unchecked and un-governed; Manchester’s Victorian generation having coughed to their deaths after lifetimes of struggle, and these waterlogged alleys have occasional shafts of greeny-yellow grass jutting between flagstones that have cracked under duress like the people who tread them.
