'cynic' and 'cynical' are from Greek kynikos, which means doggish; 'dog' is _kyon_ in Greek. (The word was borrowed by the Romans as cynicus, and eventually they began to pronounce the c as an s, and it was passed on to us in the pronunciation 'synical'). Obviously you are cynical if you think it's a dog-eat-dog world.

I have something new for you to try! Sesame Workshop, not-for-profit producer of Sesame Street, is celebrating the launch of one of its latest initiatives, Panwapa. It is for 4 to 7 year-olds, an online destination that is designed to inspire and empower children to become responsible global citizens, by promoting mutual respect and understanding. There is no "writing" (therefore safe) but pre-programmed messages translated into 6 languages so kids can make friends around the world. First step is to 'create' a Panwapa child, where children can express what they look like, what country they come from, and what are their favorite things. It is similar to a 'Facebook' for children, but with absolute anonymity and danger-free. A learning and sharing creative environment. There are 4500 kids from around the world who have registered since yesterday in this totally secure online environment. The website: www.panwapa.com ( http://www.panwapa.com/ ) - check it out and share it with all your little friends. There is no fee, no commercialization, nothing but delight and activity for your child.

One of our local radio stations has released their 2007 compilation "Live From the Mountain Music Lounge" which has Shawn doing "Fill Me Up". It is available from Starbucks and was released the same day as Joni's "Shine". They commented that they've been asked several times how they were able to get an artist of Shawn's caliber to participate in this project and jokingly said it's because of a "feud" and Shawn decided to participate so that she could beat Joni by selling more records on release day. The local radio release did in fact beat Joni at the Seattle area Starbucks for the entire first week. It's actually a pretty good CD: Keane - Is It Any Wonder Michael Franti - I Know I'm Not Alone Shawn Colvin - Fill Me Up Paul Simon - Father and Daughter Ray LaMontagne - Till The Sun Turns Black Gomez - See the World Rodrigo y Gabriela - Tamacun Regina Spektor - Fidelity John Butler Trio - Better Than The English Beat - Save It For Later Brett Dennen - She's Mine Brandi Carlile - The Story The Damnwells - Golden Days Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars Patty Griffin - Heavenly Day Low Stars - Calling All Friends Matt Nathanson - Car Crash Amos Lee - Shout Out Loud Warmly Cassy NP: Scissor Sisters - Take Your Mama ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 12 Oct 2007 08:44:59 -0700 From: "Cassy" Subject: Re: USA Today Listen Up/NJC/JohnMellencamp From: "mia _" <<< Oh, and Lisa Germano, what fantastic violin playing!

There's some kind of online petition to recruit Gore onto the ticket. Hillary seems kinda pissed! Well, Gore may sound like a good choice. A glimmer more of hope, though I still do not know who I'd be voting for. I like many of the Democratic candidates, but I still don't know which one of them possesses the greatest conviction, like most of us do here, to rid our skies of those white washed hawk-eye militants, and who peddle hate, calling it love. I hear the cries of so many doves and songbirds in the dungeon, more than ready to spread their wings. Patti P., with you I can paint pictures of hope in my head, for our planet. You should play around with the BYT lyrics, changing the picture a full circle around. :) Jeannie PS: Patti, let's hop a ride on the backs of those pretty painted ponies on the carousel of time, way down yonder.

From GoEnglish: Dog-Eat-Dog ( people are looking out for their own interests ... ) "dog-eat-dog" "dog-eat-dog" Dog-eat-dog describes a world in which people fight for themselves only and will hurt other people. Example: "I have been in this business for twenty years. It's dog-eat-dog. The competition is always trying to steal your customers." Dog-eat-dog means that a person is like a dog that will eat another dog. Sometimes people say, "It's a dog-eat-dog world", as an excuse when they have hurt another person. Example: "I can't believe you sold him your motorcycle for so much money!" Reply: "Hey, it's a dog-eat-dog world." It's a dog-eat-dog world means that you must first watch out for your own interests, because other people will be watching out for theirs. There is no letter s at the end of any of the words in dog-eat-dog. "Example: "That school is dog-eat-dog. The students cheat and even destroy each other's work to get better grades." > i'm not english native speaker > i don't understand the term "dog eat dog" > can > you help me? > i know the meaning can not be "a dog bit another dog and then ate > it". > > NP : Harlem In Havana > ____________________________________________________________________________ _ > _______ > Fussy?

People will get you, if you don't get them first. Here's another use of the expression in "Cloud 9" by the Temptations: Folks now they tell me. They say, give yourself a chance and don't let life pass you by. But the world around you is a rat race Where only the strong survive. It's a dog-eat-dog world and that ain't no lie.

I feel terrible that I am so behind! There seems not to be enough time anymore. Sigh... I am listening to Shine and I really like it. It reminds me of both Taming the Tiger and Turbulent Indigo but it has a style and flair of it's own. I think I really like Hana best right now, that may change. I love hearing Joni play piano again. I love hearing her voice after so many years. I've never heard anything after Turbulent Indigo. She has a deep a smoky voice that I really like. Is it Brian Blade on drums? (I'm listening Strong and Wrong) Also like Shine...actually like all of the songs in different ways. I love any direction that Joni feels to take with her music. I have loved and admired her creativity and her willingness to do what she wants to do instead of what's popular. She's at a different place in her life and her music reflects it. My ears welcome it. Paz, I'm so happy you cna make that tribute! I emailed you earlier today figuring you were probably on the road but wanted to tell you how happy you can make it! That's wonederful. I've never seen Joni live and would probably hop a plane to go see her now. Happy to hear such good things about Randall's music! Wonderful! I wish him the best of success! Patti my dear friend, I am so sorry that I have been out of touch! Life has been good but crazy as you well know. I will keep that person you responded to and her father in my heart and prayers as well. Please forgive that I can't remember the spelling of her name. I'm trying to remember as much as I can from this digest. Ooh Patti, Shine is right down your heart-line my friend! Ann Wilson of Heart has a solo CD coming out called Hope and Glory. I think you would be moved to hear the songs she covers. I absolutely LOVE her voice! She rocks forever! My thoughts go to Kakki and hopes that she is recovering well. (Just thought I'd add that for my friend). Everyone take care of yourselves and love one another as much as sisters and brothers can! That's kind of what we are here.

Thanks for sharing that song, Cassy. I hadn't heard of it before. Nuri had turned me on to Lisa Germano some time ago by sharing his compilation of 4AD artists. (btw, Nuri, where are you?) I love her song "Turning into Betty" - (Betty must be her mother?) This song cracks me up every time I hear it. She was in town here about a year ago, but unfortunately I did not see the advertisement poster until the day after her show. :( Mia > From: Siquomb@Comcast.net > To: hvnphun16@hotmail.com; scjoniguy@yahoo.com; joni@smoe.org > Subject: Re: USA Today Listen Up/NJC/JohnMellencamp > Date: Fri, 12 Oct 2007 08:44:59 -0700 > > From: "mia _" > > <<< Oh, and Lisa Germano, what fantastic violin playing!
