Another photo for The Firewater Lounge, the Silent Siren is yummy. Jason wasn't happy with the orange slice, so he like this photo where it was shadowed more then the photos with light bounced onto it.
Recipe is here.
A fitting place to visit this time of year. I was in Gander today and decided to stop by for awhile. This place is both peaceful and disturbing at the same time.
A Memorial to 248 Americans of the 101st Airborne and 8 air crew who died here on December 12, 1985. To me it serves as a reminder that our peace and democracy comes at a terrible cost. Whether they be Canadian or American, regardless of the war, WWI, WWII or lately Iraq and Afghanistan, for those who serve to ensure our peace I will be eternally grateful.

Desperate for answers, Rose takes Sharon to the town of Silent Hill, despite Christopher's opposition.

I took this picture of my dog when she was in my yard waiting silently for me to through her tennis balls. I enjoy this picture for a few reasons. One reason is barbecue my dog was just sitting there so quietly and patiently. I also enjoy this picture because the tennis balls do not just jump out at you, it is almost like you have to search for them.
While children were here, they were forbidden from talking to each other during the day without permission. Often times, they were only allowed to talk for 30 minutes a day during group. If they were found to be talking, they would be severely punished including physically restrained and put into isolation. Imagine this room full of children and yet silent every day. The only thing they were allowed to listen to were self-help audio tapes that boomed over the speakers.

The Department of Transportation's Urban Art Program, the Brooklyn Arts Council, the Red Hook Initiative and artists Valeria Bianco, Shagun Singh and Michelle Brick present Silent Lights, a light installation that is activated by the surrounding sounds of traffic. The five gateway structures are installed on a sidewalk at Navy Street and Park Avenue in Brooklyn. The structural elements line the pedestrian pathway and LED lights have been mounted to these structures. As cars make noise, the installation visualizes the noise by illuminating the metal panels in different colors allowing passersby to see the noise in various patterns rather than just hearing the noise. The artists aim to bring awareness to noise pollution within the surrounding community.

"Silent majority" used to be a euphemism for the dead. The phrase's meaning didn't change until about 1969, when Richard Nixon used it to refer to Americans who, he believed, quietly supported the Vietnam War.
~ Jill Lepore, The Whites of Their Eyes
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_majority
The silent majority is an unspecified large majority of people in a country or group who do not express their opinions publicly. The term was popularized (though not first used) by U.S. President Richard Nixon in a November 3, 1969, speech in which he said, "And so tonight—to you, the great silent majority of my fellow Americans—I ask for your support." In this usage it referred to those Americans who did not join in the large demonstrations against the Vietnam War at the time, who did not join in the counterculture, and who did not participate in public discourse. Nixon along with many others saw this group of Middle Americans as being overshadowed in the media by the more vocal minority.
The phrase was used in the 19th century as a euphemism meaning "all the people who have died", and others have used it before and after Nixon to refer to groups of voters in various nations of the world.
The phrase had been in use for much of the 19th century to refer to the dead—the number of living people is less than the number who have died. Phrases such as "gone to a better world", "gone before", and "joined the silent majority" served as euphemisms for "he died". In 1902, Supreme Court Justice John Marshall Harlan employed this sense of the phrase, saying in a speech that "great captains on both sides of our Civil War have long ago passed over to the silent majority, leaving the memory of their splendid courage."
. . . Nixon's use of the phrase was part of his strategy to divide Americans, to polarize them into two groups. The "silent majority" shared Nixon's anxieties and fears that normalcy was being eroded by changes in society. The other group was composed of intellectuals, cosmopolitans, professionals and liberals—those willing to "live and let live". Both groups saw themselves as the higher patriots. Nixon's polarization survives today in American politics. According to Republican pollster Frank Luntz, "silent majority" is but one of many labels which have been applied to the same group of voters. According to him, past labels used by the media include "silent majority" in the 1960s, "forgotten middle class" in the 1970s, "angry white males" in the 1980s, "soccer moms" in the 1990s, and "NASCAR dads" in the 2000s.
I must say that the constant invocation of “the silent majority” over the years whenever most discourse opposes what a politician does, is a fallacy. We only have one way to read “silent majority” (I’m talking about the living this time), which is to say that if you don’t speak up, it is because it (whatever “it” is) doesn’t arouse your passions, and thus you don’t care. If the majority of voters decide not to vote, for example (as is too sadly the case most of the time), then their silence is not seen as a vote for anyone, and their non-votes are never counted.
A politician cannot “listen” to the silent majority, because there is nothing for them to hear.
