Et quelle coincidence! Today is Ringo's 68th birthday. He's going to be on Larry King tonight. The CNN website says: "What do you get for the man who has everything? Ringo Starr wants peace and love from everyone on his birthday." NPIMH: What you want, baby I got it. From Ringo's website: "Ringo's Birthday Wish List  "Peace & Love" Ringo was recently asked by Access Hollywood what he hoped to receive for his upcoming birthday (July 7th). Ringo's answer was unconventional, he said, "just more Peace & Love." Then he expanded his wish further, "it would be really cool if everyone, everywhere, wherever they are, at noon on July 7 make the peace sign and say "Peace & Love." Wherever you are in the world, join him in making the peace sign and saying, singing, shouting, whispering, signing, writing or quietly thinking one simply beautiful and universal message: "Peace & Love." While some will do this on their own other folks may be gathering at Abbey Road in London; Capitol Records in LA; Strawberry Fields in NYC." I'm going to dig out my Onochord flashlight and let that little light shine, all across the universe. Peace & LOVE, signed sealed delivered, I'm yours! Patti P. P.S. Here's Paul w/ mandolin and Ringo: http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/larry.king.live/ I still swoon like a 14 year-old when Paul does those oooh-OOOOh-ooooohs! P.P.S. One of my co-workers saw Ringo a few weeks ago at Mohegan Sun (Indian land again) and she said he ended the show with "Give Peace a Chance" and the whole crowd was singing along. > > Delurking.

The reviews I have heard are from two distinct camps, the Beatles camp and the Circe de Soleil camp. The former tended to love it, and the latter tend to say that it is not a top rate Cirque show. The question of whether it is the best Cirque show seems quite irrelevant to me, as this is the fucking Beatles for Christ sakes, and it is about the music, not necesasarily the choreography and book, etc. Pay no attention to the Cirque folks, as the values are more concerned with less important aspect of the production than those from our perspective. I don't believe the Cirque folks dislike it either, it is just not one of their favorites. I have heard that it is quite psychedelic, and that is about as far as I need to go in a review to be conviced that it is worth the effort to see it. Psychedelic+Beatles=Strawberry Fields Forever.

Yeah, we spell it "tempeh" here. I wonder why. I think it'd have to be the same thing you're talking about though - it's a soy-based food that's really great-tasting and is used (generally) as a substitute for meat (so as a protein source) among us vegetarians. Kind of like a much-differently-textured tofu. I've never eaten a banana-leaf. Are you talking about the leaves of the banana tree itself? How do you prepare it? Most people use "vegetarian" to mean someone that doesn't eat any animals at all - to make it easier, some people make the distinction as "things with eyes." "Pescaterians" eat fish and shellfish and other animals that live in the water. I'm a dietary vegan - I don't eat animals or things that come from animals (so no cheese or eggs, etc, either), but I'm finding it really difficult to be 100% vegan in every aspect of my life. Animal products are in everything from orange juice (yuck!) to car tires, so to completely exclude their use is nearly impossible. cindy > Date: Mon, 7 Jul 2008 18:02:28 -0700 > From: do9eatdo9@yahoo.com > Subject: Re: kecap manis, tempe? -njc. plus vegetarian > To: deoll@comcast.net; joni@smoe.org > > --- On Mon, 7/7/08, David Eoll wrote: > > From: David Eoll > I am a vegetarian, so I'm familiar with tempeh.

I learned the word here and now it has made the grade, as they say http://www.chicagotribune.com/features/chi-new-wordsjul07,0,2558320.story And then there's *mondegreen*. In a category of its own, it describes words mistaken for other words. A mondegreen most often comes from misunderstood phrases or lyrics. It comes from an old Scottish ballad in which the lyric "laid him on the green" has been confused over time with "Lady Mondegreen." Among the best-known modern examples: "There's a bathroom on the right" in place of Creedence Clearwater Revival's "There's a bad moon on the rise" and " 'Scuse me, while I kiss this guy" in place of "kiss the sky" in the 1967 Jimi Hendrixclassic "Purple Haze." Merriam-Webster's editors were so amused by the mondegreen concept that they plan to ask people to submit their favorites on the publishing company's Web site. Mondegreen, first spotted in print in 1954, was among tens of thousands of words the wordsmiths watched for decades. That and others make the cut for the dictionary based on how widely they are used in publications ranging from newspapers to technical manuals. "They can float for decades. What that means for the most part is that they've been used in more spoken forms than they were found written until recently," said Peter Sokolowski, an editor-at-large for Merriam-Webster. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Jul 2008 18:45:48 -0700 (PDT) From: Rian Afriadi Subject: Joni in Circus??

And my understanding is > that it originated in Indonesia. > > > tempe (not tempeh) I'm curious, is the Roman alphabet (the letters we're using right now) used in Indonesian writing? (I know that the Vietnamese use Roman letters, though with alot of odd punctuation and diacritics.) If so, then it is weird that Americans would've added an extra letter to tempe(h) if it already had a proper Roman spelling to begin with. Its common to see a variety of spellings for words that are from languages that don't use the Roman alphabet. A notorious example being the name of the leader of Libya, which has been spelled Gaddafi, Khadafy, Qadhafi, and a hundred other variations. Seemingly, never the same way twice. :) I remember in the pilot episode of The West Wing (an American TV show) Leo's first scene was him arguing over the phone about the NYT crossword puzzle spelling Gaddafi wrong. Actually, none of those spelling are correct. The correct spelling is in Arabic. All others are just transliterations. > Banana leaf-covered tempe is the best. The leaf brings an unique aroma. I think I can find that (frozen unfortunately, no banana trees around here). I also found some pandan leaf (also frozen). I understand that pandan is also used to wrap foods for cooking, and has a unique aroma. I haven't tried it yet. The one Asian market that's close by me (about 15 miles away) happens to carry alot of SE Asian food. I think the owners are Thai. > And speaking of vegetarian....Do vegetarians eat sea-food?I think it's > impossible to enjoy south east asian food if you can't eat fishes..... I'll grant that its impossible to do completely authentic SE Asian cooking (Thai, in particular) without using fish products. Fish sauce and shrimp paste are two of the corner stones of Thai seasoning. We vegetarians can fake it using certain fermented soy products to get the umami (savory) flavoring. And as long as you've got a good supply of galanga, lemmongrass, and kaffir limes, you can get pretty close. I read recently that Thailand is one of the only countries in South or East Asia that has no vegetarian tradition. Even the monks eat meat there. Most other Asian countries have some sort of vegetarian tradition, usually among Buddhists and Hindus. The good news for vegans (like Cindy) is that once you've found vegetarian Asian food, it's almost certainly vegan as well. Because most Asian countries do not use dairy at all. And most of the time when eggs are used, they're whole or scrambled separately and can just be left out. There are some variety of noodles that have egg (e.g., wonton), but most do not. India is a notable exception, and is actually on the opposite extreme. Dairy is used all over the place there. Cow milk and cream (and ghee, and yogurt, and panir, and chenna, and khoa, etc.) are central to Indian vegetarian cooking. Any good classical Indian cookbook will have whole chapters on the uses of dairy. *sigh* now I'm hungry, David ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Jul 2008 20:40:09 -0700 (PDT) From: Monika Bogdanowicz Subject: Girls Like Us again... So I am finally able to read Girls Like Us. It took a while as I didn't want to buy the book without reading it first. I ordered it from the library which had over 100 holds on it. My sister (with special knowledge since she's getting her Master's for library sciences) ordered it a different way, where it can come from ANY library somewhat in the area (my copy came from Toledo, Ohio which is 2 hours away). Anyway, I'm on 1977, during DJRD and I won't lie. I have only been reading Joni's parts in it with the exception of when I caught her name in one of Carly's sections (something about James Taylor I believe). What can you do, right? Anyhow, I wanted to comment on a few things. First off, it is really a captivating read. I am engrossed in it and it just goes so quick. I've taken it to work at the radio station now for the past days and read it in my down time though I admit, it is hard to put down when I see the time has come that I have work to do! It yearns to be a distraction! Secondly, I am a person who really believes that a good part of your personality, essential what makes you,you, is formed during your childhood. There is a school of Psychology (and Psychologists) that is adamant in that belief. That isn't to say you don't grow as an individual throughout your life. That goes without saying but this school of thought emphasizes your relationship with your parents and peers in childhood. This being said, I really really enjoyed reading Joni's pre-fame biography--little tidbits here and there about her childhood/teen years and her interactions with other individuals (including her parents). I think if you were to look deep into that, you would find a good base of what Joni strived/strives to do her entire life. However, that is possibly another topic for another day or a topic that may never exit my thought into a conversation with another human being. Not only would I need a Joni fanatic to discuss that with but also a Psych fanatic. I love Psychology. I was oh so close to going to school for it... Last but not least, until I possibly and most probably post a comment about the book after I'm done with it, I think the situation of Joni's painting of Don Alias (in the bathrobe, exposed and turned on, ahem) is kind of comical. If you look at it from an outsider's point of view (not taking Joni and her man into consideration), it almost seems like something on a sitcom--woman artist dating a man, she paints a revealing picture of *him* and puts it in on their living room wall. Good stuff, no? In reality, I understand his embarrassment and if I were him, I too, would have fought to have her change the painting (or atleast put it in a private place!). However, I don't think Joni meant anything comical in it or any embarrassment or harm to him. In the book it said, she said it was "a testament to his sexuality." You know, thinking about the times they lived in when freedom and sexuality had gained so much ground, it makes perfect sense. It is also ironic in the sense that the man's sexuality is illustrated. Until we meet again, Monika, who was also jealous of Joni's sailing trips on David Crosby's boat....

We use roman (latin) alphabet even though we have our own traditional writing system. And we don't use any punctuation like Vietnamese. I guess Vietnamese uses odd punctuation because their language is tonal. So, the punctuation is used to differ the tones. Next time someone insists that the spelling is "tempeh", just tell him, "It's tempe. MY Indonesian friend told me".

And to Cindy, NO. We do not eat banana leaves. They're not edible. Banana leaves are used just to cover the food. And sometimes we used them as a substitute for plate. Should we worry about killing a tree? Nope. Banana trees grow just like grass, everywhere and all season. That's one of the good thing from living in a tropical isle. ;-) Rian NPIM office : Joni - Just Like This Train ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2008 #127 ***************************** ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe -------
