...Following the Band: Review of the Film Almost Famous Almost famous, written and directed by Cameron Crowe , is an endearing coming of age film that follows the adventures and experiences William Miller, of a teenage writer played by Patrick Fugit, as he follows an up and coming rock and roll band (Stillwater) in order to write a cover story for Rolling Stone Magazine in the early 1970's. William Miller is a bright-eyed and intelligent young high school student with a passion for both writing and rock music. Confined by an overly concerned and strict mother who has a irrational dislike for rock and roll music, William is desperate to break away and create a life for himself. William is determined it find an outlet and eventually lands a job writing album reviews for a local newspaper. Lester Bangs, an editor of Cream (a low-budget rock and roll magazine) played by Philip Seymour Hoffman, stumbles across William's album reviews and enjoys his work. Lester ends up getting ahold of William and offers him a job reporting on a Black Sabbath Concert. William excitedly accepts the offer, but is unable to gain access to the hugely popular Black Sabbath after the concert. Fortunately for William the members of the opening band, Stillwater, are very willing to be interviewed and provide him with enough material to write a solid report. William's piece on Stillwater catches the eye of an editor at Rolling Stone Magazine, Ben Fong-Torres ( played by Terry Chen ), who was so impressed by...

And dying,” Paper magazine’s Kim Hastreiter says halfway through the tour of her Super (Duper) Market, which will be open Friday through the weekend in Manhattan’s meatpacking district. She is completely elated and, more important, satiated, by what’s in store: “The best ice cream (Humphry Slocombe), the best cornbread (Red Rooster), the best olive oil (Sciabica’s),” she says. Here, at what is a smorgasbord of carefully procured and exquisitely packaged food stuff, all the stars of Hastreiter’s bicoastal culinary-craft world collide. The vendors hail mostly from Brooklyn (Empire Mayonnaise, Morris Kitchen, Mile End) and California’s Bay Area (Boulettes Larder, Modern Appealing Clothing, Tartine Bakery and Cafe). “I’m kind of a maven, and these are really my favorite things,” says Hastreiter pointing to the Tang Brothers noodle stand. “Those are, like, the best noodles.” Walk through the mart and you might sample homemade mozzarella on honey-drizzled toast from the Cobble Hill restaurant Brucie, buy a Sol LeWitt star bowl (Hastreiter’s pick) at...

...Congress and as a judge( Cruxton, J. Bradley). During the years of 1900-1906 she began writing about social issues under a fake name of Janey Canunk( Pettinger, Tejvan). Four years later she became the first women to work for the Edmonton Hospital Board. The next thirty years for Emily’s life would be the hardest years of her life, but would finally give women the voice and the rights they deserved. In the year of 1916, Alberta had passed the Dawer Act, which gave women the right to inherit 33% of their husband’s property( Pettinger, Tejvan). Her next mission was to give women the right to vote, this was later accomplished in 1919. During the years that women struggled to become a legal person, she created a group known as the Famous Five, the women involved were Nellie McClung, Louis McKinney, Henrietta Edwards and Irene Parhy, this was case was referred to as the persons case. After being declined by the Supreme Court that women were people, Emily moved to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in Britain which was the highest court appeal. In 1929 on October 18th, women were considered people under the BNA and were able to serve in the senate(Pettinger, Tejvan). In 1933 Emily Murphy had passed away leaving behind her husband Arthur Murphy and her four children. Even though she never became a member of the Senate, she was able to accomplish many other great things that gave women the voice and the extra push to help them be what they...

...Tieguanyin Tea simplified Chinese: 铁观音 (tiěguānyīn) traditional Chinese: 鐵觀音 Jyutping: tit3 gwun1 yam1 Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Thih-koan-im; literally "Iron Guanyin or Iron Avalokiteśvara" or 'Tikuanyin' / 'Tit Koon Yum' Tieguanyin, Guanyin, Guanshiyin, are the names of the Chinese Goddess for over 20 centuries. Since then, Japan name Guanyin as Kannon, in Korea as Guam-eum. For about 200 years to 300 years, Chinese Buddhism Guanyin also influenced the south Asia nations and the south Asia people re-named Guanyin to bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara, Mahāyāna Buddhism. The name of the Chinese tea is translated in English as "Iron Guanyin", and sometimes as "Iron Goddess of Mercy." These two names are accurate. The deity has long been given a female identity in Chinese folk culture, although the original Chinese name carries no suggestion of the male-or-female-nature. A more accurate translation of the reference to the deity should be (the One) Observing the Voice of the People.Other spellings and names include "Ti Kuan Yin," "Tit Kwun Yum," "Ti Kwan Yin," "Iron Buddha," "Iron Goddess Oolong," and "Tea of the Iron Bodhisattva." It is also known in the abbreviated form as "TGY." Tieguanyin is a premium variety of Chinese oolong tea originated in the 19th century in Anxi in Fujian province. Tieguanyin produced in different areas of Anxi have different gastronomic characteristics. Production has since extended to many regions even outside of China, including Mucha in Nantou, Taiwan.

...speed the adoption of American ideals across the globe. Reagan was the most successful president of the twentieth century. He took a country that was in economic collapse and militarily in retreat around the globe and turned it completely around. He put an end to the Cold War. FAMOUS QUOTE: “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” 2.) Franklin D. Roosevelt- FDR isn’t here because of his economic policies, but because he took on Hitler and Tojo and he won. He definitely wasn’t always right in combating the worst financial depression in U.S. history, but his impact and legacy are astounding. Not only did he lead, but he was victorious in the deadliest war in history. His influence extends from the creation of the United Nations to the greatest passes of Social Security and Labor legislation to the New Deal until the Great Society program by President Johnson. He had 4 terms as President. FAMOUS QUOTE: “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” He proved it. 3.) James Madison- He wrote most of the US Constitution at the Constitutional Convention in 1787.

...I strongly disagree with the opinion of the Chicago Times regarding the President's speech. I believe the president had good intentions in his speech. Part of the quote from the Chicago Times states that, "Readers will not have to failed to observe the exceeding bad taste which characterized the remarks of the President." The author thinks that the President's speech was cheezy and believes that everyone can tell how unintentionally written this is. This quote from the Gettysburg Adress, "The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.", shows that The Presidents intentions were real and in a clear state of speech. The author of the quote from the Chicago time thinks that...

...Should Wars Be Obsolete? With history comes conflicts over struggles for power and dominance between countries. Wars not only cause destruction, but also hardship, sorrow, and stress on their family members. There are many views on wars, and whether they should be solved by force or by verbal reconciliation. Words like peace, power, devastation, and despair come to mind when I think or hear the word war. War not only helps strengthen our nation, but it will help bring in jobs and we can help our nations in need. The U.S. has been in many wars and spent precious lives, without it we would not be where we are today. On December 8, 1941, the U.S. signed a declaration to go to war against Japan and later with Germany. World War II was known as “the good war” (Pauwels). Although WWII was one of many gruesome wars the U.S. had fought it was widely celebrated as a “crusade.” Many veterans lives were lost in this war. G.C. Marshall says "We are determined that before the sun sets on this terrible struggle our flag will be recognized throughout the world as a symbol of freedom on the one hand, of overwhelming power on the other” (Marshall). On August 6, 1945, and August 9, 1945, two atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki changing the world forever. These bombs symbolized strength and power to all of the world. The U.S. not only won but, established dominance throughout the world. This war brought many jobs and helped bring the United States out of the Great Depression...

...my high school couch always scream out into the stands and the team cheering that same chant into the battle field. Football is a very intense and dangerous sport that young men play to hold the glorious title of “Winner,” seizing the opportunity to show off all their incredible football skills. In the movie, “Any Given Sunday” there is a famous scene were Al Pacino the head couch, gives a common but important inspirational speech to get his team all riled up and ready for battle. Giving the opposing team a run for their money and fight for every last inch they need to get to be victorious in the game. In every great sports movie there is always that locker room scene that gets the team pumped up for the win or lose game, with inspirational heart pumping background music. Making you feel like you are right there in the locker room, living in the moment and thinking it’s all or nothing at that very instance. The head coach reaching into each individual player’s soul and heart giving them that push to leave everything on that field to give everything they have, like it was a life or death situation. How many times have you seen that famous locker room scene and how does it make you feel at that moment? When I saw that scene it made me feel like I was ready for war, like I was ready to put down my life for that victory and the sweet taste of glory.
