................................................... Section One: Table Notes ............................................................................ (Note: these notes were taken at the table and have NOT been approved or corrected by the speakers.  Reader beware of inevitable misunderstandings and misrepresentations.  E.B.)

At the table Wednesday this week:

Many of the usual suspects, plus 6 members of the Weiss family (old Bierhorst friends newly rediscovered), and Stephanie Sunderland.  We were delighted to welcome back new Salonistas Anne and Alyssa Hoskings.  See photos above.  

We used the “Freedom Seder” haggadah by the Shalom Center.  Although we used an adapted version, the complete “New Freedom Seder” Haggadah can be read here: http://www.shalomctr.org/node/562
    It emphasized the need for redemption of political, military, and ecological “bondage” in our own time, and we all dedicated ourselves to be new Elijahs to work for freedom from these terrible things.  I spoke about the recent steps of our coming out from the bondage of racism, and the healing I have felt with the election of Barack Obama.  
    It was a joyful gathering of wonderful people, and a satisfying fulfillment of the obligation to celebrate the Passover, not to mention a delicious meal.

    I believe next week salonista Vivien Klein will come talk about her new book.  Come.

This week on a special edition of BILL MOYERS  JOURNAL - LINCOLN'S LEGEND AND LEGACY
 

Tune in Friday, April 10 (9 pm) (Channels 16, 48, 46, the PBS stations) [also available on the internet] when BILL MOYERS JOURNAL presents a deeply moving
and intimate performance by award-winning actor Sam Waterston and eminent
historian Harold Holzer. LINCOLN'S LEGEND AND LEGACY features the spoken
poetry and prose of American writers as different as Walt Whitman,
Frederick Douglass, Allen Ginsburg, Langston Hughes, Harriet Beecher Stowe,
and many others who have struggled to find words that adequately describe
this tall, plain and gangling man and the transcendent significance of his
presidency. Responding to the arc of ideas, language and history included
in excerpts of their writings, Bill Moyers says, "Lincoln changes as we
hear these words, and so does the country."

(It's repeated later Friday night and again during the weekend; you also can watch it on the PBS web site)

FROM OBAMA: BUDGET IS PASSING; GRASS ROOTS HELP NEEDED FOR HEALTH CARE, ENERGY, EDUCATION INNITIATIVES

Ellen --

Thanks in no small part to your incredible work and dedication, we have taken another step towards creating jobs and rebuilding our struggling economy.

Last week, the budget I submitted to Congress passed both the House and the Senate and it embraces our most fundamental priorities: an energy plan that will end our dependence on foreign oil and spur a new clean energy economy; an education system that will give our children the tools to compete in the economy of the 21st century; and health care reform that finally confronts the back-breaking costs plaguing families, businesses and government alike.

Thousands of you signed pledges of support, knocked on doors, made phone calls, and talked to your friends and neighbors about this budget and the investments it makes in our long-term prosperity. You showed Washington that ordinary citizens are demanding change and are willing to work for it.

Our work on the budget isn't finished -- Congress still has to agree on a final version. But your efforts have sent a message that Washington can't ignore.

I'll be counting on you even more in the coming weeks and months. The budget Congress passes will be a critical blueprint for the changes we'll bring about. But that's when the real work begins -- the work that will bring health care to every American, transform our economy to run on clean energy, provide our children with the best education in the world, and bring about a new era of prosperity.

Thank you for everything you've done,

President Barack Obama
Weekly Lurker Byron Moody liked our talk about African American attendance:

This talk on attracting and keeping African Americans as Salonistas was very informative.  I really enjoy the thoughts that were passed around. It seem like there was real concern concerning that issue.  I think that in the back of my mind I exhibit many of the concerns that were discussed.  I appreciate at least that you guys as a group are aware and concerned.  Still lurking.......

Peace, Byron
And more on our discussion about African Americans and Holder’s talk:
Chusti-
        A most interesting discussion. After your reunion brunch, Monique
Rothschild, Bill Howard, Anita, and I spent the afternoon with Kate and
Jim Powers. Monique (aka Monica) explained that she had been a close
childhood friend of Carol Merrit. She then recounted horror stories of how
Carol had been treated in Avondale while we were at WHHS, e.g. drug stores
refusing to sell her ice-cream cones or cherry phosphates. Unbelievable.
and disgusting. That said, I think Holder should have not said what he
did. There are many truly wicked people out to ruin Obama. Rush Limbaugh
says he prays he fails. What a swine!
Hugs and kisses,
Evan (Evan Bukey, history prof, Walnut Hills ‘58 classmate)

Salonista Lynne Haber sends interactive composite inauguration photo

 Given the number of people on the salon list who attended the inauguration and supported Obama, I thought this would be of interest:
Lynne Haber
_____________
"A private photographer has used NASA's Mars technology to create a 1,474 megapixel panoramic photo of President Obama's inauguration. The interactive mega-snapshot has become an international sensation, viewed by more than two million people in 186 countries."
Here's the photo and the story of how it was made.

Emanuel say at the same time, 'Once we were all slaves. Now we are all
free.'"...
Books,Movies, Reviews It’s up to you folks to send me blurbs.  I know you are reading. and going to movies.  What?  Is it good? Ellen.............................................

German History Expert, Prof. Evan Bukey (Weekly lurker in AK)

Here's my two cents about THE READER. Although quite brilliant, the film
distorts the book in a significant way. This is because viewers are led to
believe that Hannah (the SS guard) never grasped the enormity of the
Holocaust or her part in it. In the novel Schlink emphasizes that once
Hannah learned to read she immersed herself in the literature of the
Holocaust and realized that she had been part of something horrible. You
don't know whether she feels a sense of remorse or whether her suicide is
an act of expiation. But she certainly is well aware of what happened.
BTW, Winselett is much better in REVOLUTIONARY ROAD - a must-see for those
of us who grew up in the 50s.
Evan

Jazz in Mt Lookout Redmoor - Best of Cincinnati: "Best Music Series Rebirth: Walter “Doc B” Broadnax’s Jazz at the Hyatt series was sorely missed in 2008. Each week, the downtown hotel presented world class Jazz entertainment (including renowned locals & international stars), but the events eventually failed to draw the crowds they deserved. Thankfully, the good Doc found a new home at the wonderfully-revitalized Redmoor in Mount Lookout Square (formerly Jasper’s). Broadnax hasn’t missed a beat, picking up right where the Hyatt series left off with top-shelf Jazz shows every Thursday. The elegant, art decothemed club makes for a great, swanky atmosphere to enjoy weekly Jazz, as well as other types of music (from Country and Blues to Rock & Bluegrass) on the weekends. And the cover charges won’t break your bank account either, averaging around $5 a show. 3187 Linwood Ave., Mount Lookout, 513-871-6789, www.theredmoor.com." Every Thursday night. See below.
Park + Vine - 2 Best of Cincinnati Awards: Winner of 2 Best of Cincinnati honors: Best Green-Oriented Business (Readers Pick) & Best Environmental Classes (staff pick): "We’re all getting barraged with this “going green” trend, and it’s left plenty of us scratching our heads and wondering, well, what exactly should we do to go green? Luckily there’s Park + Vine, our city’s green general store, to show us struggling wannabe-greenies the way to environmental salvation. Park + Vine holds multiple informal classes per week on easy, actionable stuff like household energy saving, ecosafe cleaning, composting and cloth diapering. They also host book clubs for eco-enthusiasts and offer courses on organic and vegan cooking, kitchen gardens and canning. Toward a cleaner, greener Cincinnati!"  At Park + Vine, 1109 Vine Street, Cincinnati, OH  45202. More info & RSVP by April 22 @ greensleevesfarm@gmail.com.
