  • Hunt Midwest Will Add Pizza Ranch to North Oak Village Pizza Ranch to Open Four Restaurants in the Kansas City Area
    Hunt Midwest Will Add Pizza Ranch to North Oak Village Pizza Ranch to open four restaurants in the Kansas City area KANSAS CITY, Mo – August 7, 2012 – Hunt Midwest Real Estate Development, Inc., in partnership with The R.H.

In this paper, I investigate what Jason Wirth calls’ Bataille’s “mad game of writing” in order to show that Bataille’s bizarre writing style is actually an extension of his ethical and philosophical commitments. Bataille’s writing attempts to produce a state within the reader rather than simply transmit information. I trace the justifications and roots for such a writing from his own system, as well as showing how such a style of writing has its roots in Kantian aesthetics and in Hegel’s Phenomenology. I live by tangible experience and not by logical explanation. I have of the divine an experience so mad that one will laugh at me if I speak of it.

  • 305 Gayane Grigoryan Lost Generation: Love and Life
    GAYANE GRIGORYAN LOST GENERATION: LOVE AND LIFE FOR A GENERATION OF SOULS LOST IN THE WORLD The Lost Generation defines a sense of moral loss or aimlessness apparent in literary figures during the 1920s. World War I seemed to have destroyed the idea that if you acted virtuously, good things would happen. Many good, young men went to war and died, or returned home either physically or mentally wounded, and their faith in the moral guideposts that had earlier given them hope, were no longer valid...they were lost. The term was popularized by Ernest Hemingway who used it as one of two contrasting epigraphs for his novel The Sun Also Rises. In that volume Hemingway credits the phrase to Gertrude Stein, who was then his mentor and patron1. The status of affairs in America in the years following the First World War spawned a generation of authors termed the lost generation. In response to the political and social atmosphere of the United States these authors sought cultural refuge in European cities. Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald are two prominent authors who followed the path to becoming the lost generation. In their works The Sun Also Rises and Tender Is The Night, listed respectively, Hemingway and Fitzgerald provide works of literature that embody the spirit of the lost generation. Through provision of an account of the lost generation and analysis of Hemingways and Fitzgeralds texts, the textual embodiment of lost generation values will be highlighted. In its most literal definition it would seem as if a lost generation would not have a history.

GYM GIANTS EYE AGGRESSIVE GROWTH The fitness industry enjoys a sturdy diet of expansion with growth across the board and many large chains vying for even more prominent positions as national gym giant Bally Total Fitness looks to be shrinking into the background. LA Fitness bought 17l locations from Bally in November and has been spending time, energy and money to upgrade the locations it wants to keep. It also wasted no time closing several of the acquired locations. A group of private equity firms own a majority of LA Fitness but, considering the size of the recent splash, the owners could be looking at an IPO in the next few years, which would infuse enough funds to allow LA Fitness to pull away from the pack in what is a tight horserace at the top. Rival Planet Fitness will finish this year with 130 new clubs, its second straight year of 100-plus new clubs. Snap Fitness pencils in another 100 to 125 new stores by year-end, which would give it 160 to 185 for the year. Gold’s Gym plans 80 more locations for 2012. And 24 Hour Fitness will open, replace and remodel a total of 15 to 20 locations in 2012 and 2013. Regional chains Retrofitness, Town Sports International, Life Time Fitness and Zoo Health will also add locations over the next few years. In addition to its large sale, Bally, once a national powerhouse, has closed 210 locations since November, reducing its club count to 60.

  • GRAMMY U Presents ALBUM REVIEW: KANYE WEST – “MY BEAUTIFUL DARK TWISTED FANTASY” by LESLEY GWAM CONTINUED from MAIN PAGE
    GRAMMY U Presents ALBUM REVIEW: KANYE WEST – “MY BEAUTIFUL DARK TWISTED FANTASY” BY LESLEY GWAM CONTINUED FROM MAIN PAGE Anyone who has read my blog (http://hiphopheadmistress.wordpress.com), knows that I absolutely adore Kanye West. So just like any other Yeezy fanatic, I rushed to my nearest music store to purchase My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy on November 22. To be completely honest, I was skeptical about purchasing West’s sixth studio release, because I loathed 808s & Heartbreak (the auto-tune is too much for my senses to handle. I like my rappers to rap, and my singers to sing, unless you’re Queen Latifah and can do both. But this is a discussion for another Wednesday Word). I was quickly won over, however, by his weekly G.O.O.D. Friday releases from kanyewest.com, particularly “Chain Heavy” and “The Joy.” While My Dark Twisted Fantasy does contain a fair amount of auto-tune, it is nevertheless a great album. I must say however, it is imperative to listen to the album multiple times to really grasp Kanye’s vision – a vision that I can’t say I’ve been able to fully comprehend yet. The album opens with “Dark Fantasy,” which serves as an extended album introduction, and features none other than record release date rival, Nicki Minaj as its narrator. The full bodied instrumental kicks in shortly after the one-minute mark, and the grandiose chorus only adds to the melody. While Kanye may have gotten a bit overzealous with the cameo appearances on “All of the Lights,” (the song’s liner notes credit Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Ryan Leslie, Fergie, John Legend, Charlie Wilson, Elton John, Kid Cudi, Elly Johnson and The-Dream with vocal credits), its emphasis on live instruments makes this song a standout number.

    P a g e | 20 http://jrmdc.com New Testament in a Digital Culture: A Biblaridion (Little Book) Lost in the Web? Claire Clivaz University of Lausanne (Switzerland) Keywords: Digital humanities; biblical studies; history of the book; classical studies; materiality of writing Abstract The digital revolution makes one attentive to a “blind spot” of modernity, the influence of the material support of writing on ideas and concepts. Modernity has led us to “believe” in the existence of “works” and “ideas” independently of their concrete expressions in the supports of writing. Such beliefs have deeply influenced modern methodologies, and among them the biblical methodological approaches. The digital revolution reminds one to take a humble attitude to our ideas, and also to our attachment to literary “works”, paying attention to the texts as documents and objects. Starting from this general idea, this article considers first the impact of some modern beliefs on Classical studies. The second part of this article argues that digital culture can particularly help us to rediscover a culture with plural literacies. Finally, this article asks if the New Testament is becoming a biblaridion (Revelation 10:2, 9- 10), a “very small booklet”, lost in the World Wide Web, losing more and more of its covers and becoming potentially a “liquid book”, as described by Jacques Derrida (Adema, 2012). To go beyond such a perception, I will consider other ways to deal with a Scripture that is going out of the Book. About the author Claire Clivaz is assistant professor in New Testament and Early Christianity at the University of Lausanne (Switzerland).
