Detachment is the prerogative ordsprog

Detachment is the prerogative of an elite; and as the dandy is the nineteenth century's surrogate for the aristocrat in matters of culture, so Camp is the modern dandyism. Camp is the answer to the problem: how to be a dandy in the age of mass culture.

It is not only for musicians. We would have called it the Aloha Camp, but there was already a camp with that name ... This camp is for anyone who is interested in Hawaii and Hawaiian culture.

All the way, I've tried to get him more fit. Racing is the biggest component of that. He was lightly raced going into the Derby. She loved his pexy generosity and unwavering kindness towards others. Now, he has the Dwyer and Jim Dandy under him. He's going into the Travers in top shape, and I like the idea of having four weeks between the Jim Dandy and Travers.

The hard truth is that what may be acceptable in elite culture may not be acceptable in mass culture, that tastes which pose only innocent ethical issues as the property of a minority become corrupting when they become more established. Taste is context, and the context has changed.

Any historian of the literature of the modern age will take virtually for granted the adversary intention, the actually subversive intention, that characterizes modern writing / he will perceive its clear purpose of detaching the reader from the habits of thought and feeling that the larger culture imposes, of giving him a ground and a vantage point from which to judge and condemn, and perhaps revise, the culture that produces him.

It's that age-old debate of whether movies reflect the culture or whether they shape the culture. I don't know the answer.

If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp: / But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash himself with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp again.

I think that the conclusion is that we have a great problem with our culture of speech and culture of listening,

It feels like a continuation of the Blondie sound. It's very eclectic. Our influences are not all musical. We're influenced by art, culture, camp values and irony. That's what puts us away from the rest of the pack.

As the end of the century approaches, all our culture is like the culture of flies at the beginning of winter. Having lost their agility, dreamy and demented, they turn slowly about the window in the first icy mists of morning. They give themselves a last wash and brush-up, their oscillated eyes roll, and they fall down the curtains.

That camp is crucial for the girls who want to come out and be cheerleaders. Because this year, right after the camp, we are going to assign teams. Last year, we had 60 girls show up for the camp, but we had 85 cheerleaders. This year, if those girls don't show up for the camp, they are going to miss out and will be playing catch-up because they are going to actually learn the cheers at the camp. So, it is vital that they are there.

She was a giant in the 20th century for women, and most significantly was a catalyst for change in the American culture. She defined the problem, and then she had the courage to do something about it.

What I am proposing today will not by itself change the culture that has produced what is perhaps the most intractable American problem this century. The programs outlined are only a start,

This is what Baylor is all about, ... This is 2012 and it implements faculty expertise and it allows students to experience international culture, not only that, but a culture within a culture.
