9:17 pm [crowdrevolt]	the Golden Mean "The concept of Aristotle's theory of golden mean is represented in his work called Nicomachean Ethics, in which Aristotle explains the origin, nature and development of virtues which are essential for achieving the ultimate goal, happiness (Greek: eudaimonia), which must be desired for itself. It must not be confused with carnal or material pleasures, although there are many people who consider this to be real happiness, since they are the most basic form of pleasures. It is a way of life that enables us to live in accordance with our nature, to improve our character, to better deal with the inevitable hardships of life and to strive for the good of the whole, not just of the individual..."

1:16 am [xicryeverydayx]	Hey guys, Just checking in. I was thinking about the statement of individuality made by punk rockers. I have always thought that this statement of individuality was confused with defining onesself as their facticity. Instead of punks becomming individuals, they became immutable characatures of themselves. In my opinion this is why Punk Rock has suffered over the years: the love of the idea of a punk rocker over the actual punk rockers themselves makes anyone devoted to the scene into a cartoon. I expect many people will disagree with this, I just hope that you are not eumeterating the movement of punk rock and defending it simply because you only know a filtered interpretation of it.

9:53 pm [andyfukpunk]	[IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW, THE LAST POETS ARE THE PEOPLE THAT DID THAT SONG "THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED"...] Friday, August 26, 2005 Fourth Friday at the Bowery Poetry Club Say Word Entertainment and the 3rd Annual Howl Festival present 4th Fridays, featuring THE LAST POETS!! The hottest Hip Hop monthly in NYC takes it back to our roots as we welcome spoken word poets and musicians The Last Poets as part of the 2005 HOWL Festival. Before rap was rap and Hip Hop was revolution The Last Poets were rap, Hip Hop, and revolution. These modern-day griots began dropping poetry bombs on the turntables of America with their first release in 1970. Their politically charged fusion of beats and rhymes paved the way for the voices of the Hip Hop generation to be heard, setting the stage for the likes of Public Enemy and KRS-One. Hosted by: 3rd Party And as always we bring you what you've come to expect from a 4th: The Freestyle Pyramid Live Art Expos A Guest Turntablist Showcase And dancing 'till the early morn' Cover: $8 9pm Bowery Poetry Club 308 Bowery (btwn Bleecker and Houston) Take the F to 2nd Ave. or the 6 to Bleecker Beer specials all night long brought to you by Magic Hat!

3:22 pm [darkmugen]	the easiest way to make hard cider in a week. here's one for all you drinkin types who want to stop supporting the alcohol industry. this is meant just as an intro to fermenting juices into alcohol. this an easy, very basic method with a minimal amount of equipment involved. i make a couple of batches every week for the weekend. first buy a gallon bottle of organic unfiltered apple juice or any natural apple juice and a can of frozen apple juice concentrate(any flavor). also buy a pack of dried ale yeast and a rubber stopper(number 8 works for the apple bottles i use) and a bubbler/airlock from a homebrew shop (alternately you could use a balloon on the top of the bottle but let the air out of it if it looks like it will pop). then pour out about 2 cups of juice, and add the thawed concentrate to the bottle. you need to leave some air space at the top of the bottle or the cider will ferment out of the bubbler. shake the bottle up good then add the dried yeast. place the bubbler and stopper on the top and set it in a room cooler than 80 degrees and cover it with a dark t-shirt or towel and let it ferment for 5 -8 days. it will be a little rough around the edges but it's still good. i like to add a little unfermented juice when i drink it to sweeten it a bit. just poor into a glass or into another bottle and drink it. the stronger you make the cider(buy adding more sugar or sugar sources) the longer it takes to ferment. you can do this with citrus juice too. this recipe is ultra simple. ideally you should sanitize everything with iodine solution but this will still work if you don't. to make a nicer cider you could rack(siphon with a hose and racking cane) the cider to a second bottle to mellow for a week or two. then you could bottle it with a small amount of sugar to carbonate it in the bottles. that takes a week or 2. that all takes more effort and equipment.

10:43 pm [ameforstars]	re: the energy bill due out on the senate floor on mon. if activism= your thing, PLEASE HELP! We would like @ least 100 copies of this letter sent to the sen. specter and santorum's energy aids that the Center for Creative Cooperation met with in DC on Wednesday, 8 June 2005. ( (letter = under this lj cut) ) Present at the meeting were 5 representatives (including myself) from a newly formed NEPA "activist umbrella" called The Center for Creative Cooperation, which is a center for activists groups who support sane energy policies, environmentalism and general social justice issues to coalesce and support one another. The Center fully advocates the autonomy of each group, but is in place to help garner support and numbers for grass roots organizations. The first section of the letter highlights some of what they SAID to us during out 90 minute conversation/debate. The second section is what WE support (as the Center for Creative Cooperation). Between all of us and our groups, these aides, Mr. Dower and Mr. Beynon, need to receive at least 100 hundred of these emailed letters this weekend, since the energy bill hits the Senate floor Monday. We fully understand that these letters may not change the course of energy bill history. HOWEVER 1. These letters will put these guys on notice that we weren't kidding when we said that we represented a "strong coalition of concerned citizen groups," I wasn't making it up - they need to know we have some numbers here. 2. They understand that for every letter they get, there are 10 more people in our groups who support what the letter says. Please, spread the word to groups/people who you think may be interested........we would like @ least 100 letters/emails to be sent to these guys by monday. If they only get a few, our impact int he future will be considerably less--if they get more than a few, we will matter more. GRASS ROOTS WORKS ON NUMBERS - So let's show them we have numbers!!! All you have to do with the letter is: paste the following two emails into the address line: Matthew_Beynon@santorum.senate.gov Thomas_Dower@specter.senate.gov if you know friends or other PA groups who would be interested in voicing similar (or the same) concerns, please forward this email to them, and have them send this message (or something similar...) to the email addresses listed above. then, please sign your name (and address if you're from PA) under the "sincerely". One more thing, i have recently started a (potentially... still have to file the paper work) non-profit group called S.A.F.E.R. (Student Action for Environmental Responsibilty). The only requirement to support this group is to be a student or a supporter of students/student action, so if you are interested in this (and you do not have to be a PA resident to "join") please let me know via a comment and if you are interested and choose to send a letter to san/spects reps please include something like: Amie Monte Member of S.A.F.E.R. (Student Action for Environmental Responsibilty) after the closing "sincerely" of the letter. thanks! if anyone has any ?'s about the meeting/lobbying for a sane energy policy lemme know:) peace! one more time: ( the letter we would like forwarded ) and please comment if you are forwarding the message because we would like to keep track of how many emails are being sent to the senators. thanks!!!
