Hey Ruthin,
The d/w link does not work. I had the “EMA” audio cassette back in the 90s. I love the song “Band on the run”. Any chance of getting hold of their songs? If you have the link, please email it to “jkmetal@gmail.com”

Thanks Buddy,
Keep Rocking \m/

I’m not sure exactly why but this site is loading very slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a issue on my end? I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.

Comment on Why do men like tits? by Durt

It is all very primitive with men they are visually stimulated. Competition between males for the oposite sex sets a standard. Do you suppose women prefer large men or a large member on a man. You have to remember that it was not long ago large voluptuous women were the preferred choice. Also the ratio of hip to waist size is in our DNA as to convincing men that that a woman like that will bear children better than a stick figure….How you gnna breast fed me ma??? you aint got no tits…

This is a great piece Suman. This was an amazing piece of history (makes you wonder how many more untold are out there) and it is wonderful that they honor their heroes annually so they are not forgotten. I am a proud member of Legion Post 2 in Tempe. Thanks for sending this out.

I hope I don’t end up being the only one commenting on this post (besides the author, Papi), but my brother just sent me this really interesting response by another author on the same topic.

If one *doesn’t* carry that example to an exaggerated extreme (though I got a chuckle out of that), I think Brooks had some interesting observations about non-classroom learning vs. classroom learning as it relates to workplace team dynamics. We interviewed several candidates for a job opening last year, and while I can’t comment on specific individuals, there were some who possessed some of the needed technical skills - i.e. classroom learning - but lacked the needed behavioral skills - i.e. non-classroom learning - that would be needed for the candidate to effectively interact with customers and stakeholders to gain their cooperation.

I’d be curious to see what parents think, in particular those who home-school their children.

According to Mr. Brooks, the cognitive skills required to negotiate the social labyrinth of sleepovers and teenage locker-room intrigues are more critical to success in the adult world than mere academics. By that measure, prom queens and football jocks should be captains of industry later in life. I think we can safely say that’s not quite how reality plays out. Then again, he may have been thinking of our last president, who went from cheerleader to leader of the free world, so maybe the man has a point.

More publicity for Chua’s new book? Granted, I’m not a parent, but even so it’s been hard to miss all the current publicity for “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother”. I had read one of her previous books, “World On Fire: How Exporting Free Market Democracy Breeds Ethnic Hatred and Global Instability”, in which she provided several compelling examples, both historic and contemporary, of how the imposition of democracy on relatively poor societies with a relatively wealthy ethnic minority leads to increased persecution of that minority (two examples I recall off the top of my head were ethnic Chinese in the Philippines, and Jews pretty much everywhere). It was a very interesting book, but I don’t recall it generating anywhere near as much publicity as her new one. Then again, the new one is aimed at a much wider audience. The best response I’ve seen so far is by David Brooks.

sorry Arun but, you are still a genuine aristocratic Shudra. I have heard stories where even the shadow of a Nambiar used to pollute the Namboothiris. Nambiars had to pass 50 feet away from a Namboothiri. Consult your ancestry for more info. The varmas and Pillais of the south considered Nambiars to be out of league because the latter lacked education, war skills and were born shudras [Kerala History.Asia: Asian Quarterly of Culture and Synthesis. Asia Magazine].

I remeber I couldback , on watch the live performance Vedio of Halley’s Disciples almost 20 years on Asianet. What happend to them? Could notice that they were inspired by the legendary band Ironmaiden ( infact I could know about Maiden’s “Children of the Damned ” song from these guys only) . I could remeber one “Ajesh Mathew” as their , then lead singer..What happend to them? Searched in Youtube as well. No help.. Yea , Sound Garden’s Kim Thayyil is actullay a “Mallu” but he is an 100% US Mallu Indian. During late 80’s I also started to hear about lots of Rock?heavy Bands like Iron Maiden, Black Sabath, Sticks, Ledzepplin , Scorpions, Eureahip , Nazreth etc..
