Mon, 06 Feb 2012 06:30:16 PST

Petit Madamoiselle Did you see the article in last weekend’s Wall Street Journal entitled "Why French Parents Are Superior", by Pamela Druckerman? It’s another cleverly timed, contentiously inclined piece of prose (a la the “Tiger Mom”) promptly published just days before the release of the book that expounds upon this very premise, “Bringing up Bebe: One American Mother Discovers the Wisdom of French Parenting” According to the article (and I assume the book as well), there are five key tenets to French parenting success:· Children should say hello, goodbye, thank you and please It helps them learn that they aren’t the only ones with feelings and needs· Whey they misbehave, give the “big eyes” – a stern look of admonishment· Allow only one snack a day READ MORE

Phillip Glass opera Satyagraha is extraordinary (IrishCentral)

Fri, 02 Dec 2011 11:15:16 PST

On Saturday I enjoyed one of the highlights of my opera going life at the flawless production of the Phillip Glass opera Satyagraha, directed by Phelim McDermottBased on the life of Ghandi, with illuminating reference to the lifelong struggle of fellow titan Martin Luther King, the performance achieved moments of extraordinary beautyThis being a Phillip Glass work it was also ponderous, aching, celebratory, stirring and at times - yes - seriously dullGlass reminds you what is unique about the opera's capacity to transport, because it's at once sublime and physical, heard and seen, and no other medium marries the elusive magic of music to the spectacles of the physical world with the same capacity for rapture READ MORE

New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)Ray Kelly and Patrick Lynch are often at odds After all, the former is a “boss,” the New York City police commissioner, while the latter represents the average street cop for the PBA, the city’s largest police union But the crime-fighting duo are also the Irish face of New York City law enforcement The NYPD is not nearly as Irish as it used to be, but to have a guy named Kelly running things, and a guy named Lynch representing thousands of officers illustrates how Irish the NYPD remains READ MORE
