punchout's a must buy, ill look into the other two though
Punch Out!!® Featuring Mr. Dream (NES®, 1 player, 500 Wii Points): As young boxer Little Mac, players have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to battle the big guys of the World Video Boxing Association circuit. Take them on one by one, starting with skinny Glass Joe. Battle up through King Hippo and all the way to the WVBA Champion himself. Players use their best jabs, hooks and power uppercuts to knock out opponents, but must pay attention to subtle changes in their body position to dodge jaw-breaking blows. With great graphics, addictive action and a touch of humor, this game will keep players entertained for hours.
Virtua Fighter 2 (Sega Genesis, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points): Virtua Fighter was the very first 3-D fighting game in the industry and introduced six unique characters, each with their own martial arts style. In Virtua Fighter 2, the intrepid fighters return to the World Fighting Tournament. Players take to the stage to see who will claim the championship title. Will it be Lau Chan, Kage-Maru, Wolf Hawkfield, Jeffry McWild, Akira Yuki, Jacky Bryant, Sarah Bryant or Pai Chan? The answer lies within. Players immerse themselves in this technically challenging game and see if they have what it takes to be the champion of the second World Fighting Tournament.
Bonk's Revenge (TurboGrafx16, 1 player, 600 Wii Points): The "hardheaded" hero is back for more in the second installment of the Bonk series. Taking place in the Monster Kingdom, Bonk the Caveman makes his way toward King Drool III. Bonk's Revenge is a side-scrolling action game in which players Jump and "Bonk" (head-butt) their enemies while they make their way to the goal at the end of each stage. Double, even triple, attack power by eating the meat that appears in a stage. There are eight different hidden bonus stages, and the Dinosaur Train that appears after players defeat a boss will change depending on how many Smileys they've collected. With new actions such as the Triangle Jump and the ability to climb trees, as well as seven variety-packed stages, Bonk's Revenge will keep players playing over and over.

Ah yes Punch Out, a game I grew up loving....too bad it doesn't have Mike Tyson. Virtua Fighter 2 isn't too shabby either....overall a great VC day.
no more VC for me! Thanks, Wii Key!
What I Got:
2 Wiimotes, 2 nunchucks, 2 classics
MoH, Excite Truck, SPM, Sonic, Zelda, Wario Ware and (obviously) Wii Sports (I'm a pro bowler)
VC: Super Mario, Ice Hockey, Gradius, Zelda, Alien Crush, Soldier Blade, F-Zero, Super Mario World, R-Type III
but most importantly...Wii Key!
these are good titles. not sure bou punch out though.
It looks like Nintnedo did a good job, *pats Nintendo on back*. Even though I'm not much into Virtua Fighter 2 and Punchout, there's probably some people that are. I'd really like Super Punch Out.
I heard Virtua Fighter 2 sucks though, so do your research people. The Virtua Fighter series might not have gotten good until they were 3d.
Any way I'll get Bonk's Revenge

In addition, the Nebraska Legislature passed legislation that ends mandatory life sentences for juveniles who commit first-degree murder.
McCain was 17 when he was sentenced to life in prison.

Yes, a name I don't care to say again. There is but one crime among us vampires here. It is the crime that means death to any vampire: To kill your own kind. Do you think I'd let them harm you? No, you would not. Danger holds you to me. Love holds you to me. Love? Love. You would leave me for Armand if he beckoned you. Never. He wants you as you want him. He's been waiting for you.

It is only natural that a cause for diseases that seem unintelligible should be sought in the disturbance of functions about which we know little. Probably the most baffling common disease, if it is a disease and not, as many believe, a catch-all for psychiatric flotsam and jetsam, is that described under the name of dementia praecox. As the name is now used, the cases included in this group comprise approximately 50 per cent, of all admissions to hospitals for mental diseases and an even larger proportion of the total population of such institutions at any given time. The most fascinating and at the same time the least understood of all realms in physiology is that of the endocrine glands. Much effort has been directed to establishing a valid connection between these two sets of phenomena, which range from the now discredited Abderhalden reactions and studies of metabolism to the

Hamas Attacks Sderot with Missile to Mark Holocaust Day
Gaza terrorists chose Holocaust Memorial Day to attack southern Israel with a missile that underlined President Shimon Peres' message on Holocaust Memorial Day that "the journey for justice and freedom is not yet over."
The rocket exploded in an open area, causing no injuries but interrupting a Holocaust Day ceremony as people scurried to a security shelter. The ceremony continued shortly afterwards.
Residents and police have not yet determined if the explosion cause property damage.
Israel responded "proportionately" last week to two rocket attacks on open areas in Sderot and the surrounding Sha'ar HaNegev region last week. The IDF bombed two terror sites without injuring anyone.
Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon last week repeated a years-long litany of threats that Israel will not remain silent in the face of rocket attacks.
Judging by last week's response, Israel has not changed its policy not to upset the international community with "disproportionate" retaliation and instead continues to play Russian Roulette and wait for a Kassam missile, which has no guidance system, to fall in the wrong place at the wrong time.Tzvi Ben-Gedalyahu

videogames- hobby or disease?
videogames- hobby or disease?
Jan 25, 2005 10:44AM PST
I am sure I am not the only person on here who seems to bite off more than they can chew when it comes to buying new games. I see something new that I want, I get it. Problem is, between going to school and working I don't have the needed manhours to pour into these games. Make a futile effort I might, but then a new game comes out that demands my money and short lived attention. Back when I was a little tike and up till just after highschool I had more time than I could handle to beat, and hell, even replay games. Granted back then, with very limited money I didn't have that luxury of buying games whenever I wanted. I keep telling myself that I'm just preparing for a time when I break my leg or something that keeps me bedridden. Well, here's a blog, my first ever, yay.

Defense paves way
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee held Chicago State to just 3-of-19 shooting over the final 17:19 to hand the Cougars a 73-56 defeat Sunday afternoon at the Klotsche Center.
The Panthers snapped a three-game losing streak with their decisive defensive stand that allowed them to build an 18-point lead heading into the final minute.
"This was a nice victory for us," UWM coach Sandy Botham said. "We had a shaky start. I thought we were reacting to things offensively and defensively. We were able to regroup and have a very nice second half. Defensively, our energy was better, we were executing the defensive game plan better and we were able to lock down (on some of their key players)."
Junior Ashley Imperiale led UWM (5-4) with 16 points, 10 rebounds and five assists for her first career double-double.

Historical Traveler Reviews DoubleTree by Hilton Las Vegas Airport
Whoo hoo!
We stayed here for pleasure. I loved this hotel. It was nice and clean and off the strip so it was quiet! The shuttle service was great. It dropped us off at the MGM and picked us back up when we called. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had a view of the strip from our 6th floor room. Very nice! Would definately stay there again!
You can have your cookie and eat it too in peace.
This is the perfect place to stay in Las Vegas if you want to get away from the crowds, the traffic, and the noise of the Strip. The hotel is in a good location to quickly get to the strip and the airport but far enough to avoid the trappings. The service was great, not to mention the free chocolate chip cookies!
The most businessy hotel in Las Vegas
This is the most businessy hotel you're going to find in Vegas. Not one slot machine in sight, nor even mention of one, or where to find one. (Heck, there are even slot machines in the Safeway!) Not that this is a bad thing, just rather unusual for Vegas. The hotel itself was perfectly nice. Not as good as other Doubletree's I've visited but tagged that as being product of an "airport" hotel. Funny thing is it's is really no closer to the airport than much any other hotel in Vegas. This location is down below the airport....south of the main Las Vegas strip - but they did have a reliable and free shuttle that would take people to the MGM at decent intervals. Please note however - for persons traveling for business or planning meetings at this location - the hotel doesn't even have a real restaurant. It has a little bakery...that's it! There is an Applebees out front, but that can get boring pretty quickly. They will tell you there are other food options in reasonable walking distance, but not really. Quite a long jaunt down the road there is a sandwich shop and some other stuff, but it really isn't comfortably walkable. So without a rental car you're pretty stuck for quick convenient food.
One day we were there the hotel lost hot water. Another day the elevators stopped working, and then you quickly find out that if you enter the stairways you get locked in them. I was foolsih and gave them a different credit card upon checking in - and they didn't mention it was different - which as a rule they usually have that I have noticed (cause I'm foolish a lot it seems). One evening we were there, two cars in the parking lot were broken in to. That was creepy and made us feel rather unsafe the whole time were were there, and would even lessen the chance of wandering around the area looking for food. At least on the strip you are in with a throng of people so there is a certain safety in numbers thing going on. The area the Doubletree is in is rather isolated.
I was with a group there and several people had trouble getting the types of rooms they had reserved - there were apparently not enough smoking rooms to go around for everyone. And simple requests such as asking for non-down pillows were unable to be filled.
The banquets people in the hotel were excellent however...(I'm still a bit confused how they can have a banquest dept. but no restaurant). They did a tremendous job for our meeting. The hotel only has small limited meeting space but it was adequate for our groups needs.
Good point to mention - WiFi available for low daily cost! We even used it for our meeting - seriously cut costs.
Excellent Airpor Hotel
We stayed here as a reslut of our flight being overbooked when flying out of Vegas on March 6, 2005.
Shuttle from the Airport was quick and easy. Check-in was a breeze and I was able to have my Holton Honors number added to the room. Also received Cookies and bottled water. We were assigned a room on the 2nd floor.
Was given a standard room, but there wasn't really anything standard about it. The bed was "to die for" - simply amazing - one of the best sleeps I have had in a hotel! Went downstairs for a snack at the in-house Au Bon Pain. Service with a smile and decent food. Nothing to write home about, but it hit the spot.
Our flight the next day didn't leave until 3pm, so when we go up in the morning, we checked out (and stored our luggage there) and went back to the strip. The cab to the MGM was $10. The hotel also offers a shuttle to the MGM but that didn't start until 10am and we wanted to get an early start. After winning a couple hundred playing slots at the MGM we cabbed back to the hotel, collected our luggage and took their shuttle to the Airport.
Despite the turmoil of the oversold flight (which gave us free tickets and 1000 mileage plan points), the stay at the DoubleTree was the perfect way to end a short Vegas break - plus, I received stay credit and points from Hilton Honors!
I found the staff were very nice. Was only in town for one night, but the free shuttle to The Strip worked for me as I had no car.
Had dinner when I got back at the Applebees at the far end of the parking lot (yes there *is* a restaurant nearby, as well as an Au Bon Pain off the lobby).
Very convenient to airport.
Good alternative to casino hotels
We found this hotel to be attractive and well-maintained. Our room with two queen-size beds was spacious and clean. The pool area was neat and the water was clear. The hotel has a nice exercise room which we did not use. There is a bakery located on the first floor that is open from 6 a.m. until about 10 p.m. I found the front desk staff to be very helpful with questions about Las Vegas sightseeing. I needed an unusual-sized box to ship something in, and they quickly found one for me. I needed a photocopy made at 4 a.m. and they helped me with that (the business center was closed, of course). This Doubletree is very convenient to the airport.
Great airport choice!
Excellent LAS airport choice. Check-in was fast and friendly. The room was clean and spacious. They have an excellent Au Bon Pain cafe in the lobby which serves great food at reasonable prices. Very convenient location. The cookies are outstanding!
Not a favorable choice
My boyfriend and I had gotten stranded in Las Vegas overnight due to a back up in flight delays so our airline put us up for the night at the Double Tree. We had been at the airport for over 5 hours waiting to find out if we were coming or going.The airport first of all, has no selection of places to eat. Whatever is available isn't always open either so needless to say, we were starved.We arrived at the hotel to check in and it was a complete mess. They were asking people to use their credit cards to make a deposit on the rooms. This shouldn't have been our problem. It should have been dealt with with the hotel and the airline. I felt bad for this one lady who didn't have a credit card but only a few dollars and her little boy with her.This hotel was generally ok. It was quiet and clean but there was no room service, nowhere to eat and was in the middle of nowhere. I didn't really think that the hotel staff was particulary friendly. They seemed more irritable than anything.Check out time was 11am. At around 10:15 am, I was getting dressed and getting ready to check out when the maid service opened our door!!!!!!!!!! She had the nerve not to apologize, asked us rudely when we would be done and then came back again before 11 am. I went downstairs to inform the management and told them I would be out of the room before 11 and that I just needed to go back and get my things. I went back upstairs and found that my room key no longer worked. I went back downstairs to get another key. When I finally got in my room, that same maid was cleaning the room (at 10:35) even though my things were still there.Avoid this hotel if you can. The staff, location and service are horrible.
Nice & confortable
Stayed here in July 2003. Nice confortable rooms, nice furniture, small but nice pool. A bit far from strip, but easy to park and get to your room. Complimentary shuttle to strip and airport. Good hotel to stay in if you do not have a car, or do not wish to stay in a huge hotel with loud casinos.
Nice property, a bit far but you can park nearby!
Overall, this property is a good value if you get a good rate, for which I did at $35/night for a weekend!. Since it's a non-gaming establishment, there's no noisy or busy atmosphere. Just park your car within footsteps of the lobby, then go to the room elevators just a few more steps away. The fact you can park your car and walk to your room so quickly more than makes up for the off-strip location. Room was quite large and nice but nothing to write home about. Only complaint was the loud AC unit, as it wasn't central air, just a huge window unit that didn't have any problem cooling the room off even in 115 degree heat!

After the excitement, Jonathan took me out in the car to explore and to see if this would be a place that maybe we could settle-in. Whilst looking-up "Cirque de ...

Now dips in peace the bay
And I must go
Beyond the hills, the luscious fields
Of jasmines purple, and down to where
The starlight gleams below,
And today I watch the lacquered morn
Rise gently till the veils
from peach lilies are drawn.
Around the isles at dusk
Cool and chaste they lie,
While fragrant marigolds heave to sigh.
In a daze, the sun sets on earth's dome
Embossing a virgin orchid white;
Its crown a trail like a bride afloat
On dreamy air that meet the coast
To settle in the vault of gold,
While blossoms fair enrapture my view
Bright as Flora's eyes!

The Psychostasia
(The Egyptian Funerary Rite)
For seventy days I've been prepared
With oils and unguents ever so rare
And with linen bandages to and fro
Wound and wrapped from head to toe
And on this journey I'm prepared to start
By enduring the "Weighing of the Heart"
With Toth's oversight we'll see whether
My heart weighs true against Truth's feather
Should it fall short the beast will devour
My soul to oblivion in my final hour
Yet should it measure straight and true
The Pylon opened I'll be ushered through
And then I shall fall unto my knees
And pray that Osirus hears my pleas
That he acknowledge and clear my tears
And accept my soul for a thousand years
And cleanse said soul of all its scars
And make me one with the canopy of stars
And bless my children and my wife
That they may join me in the afterlife

A cold lion roams, doctrinaire and sterile,
The expanse of Africa offers him no sanctuary, the Saringehti no salvation,
He can only smell the scent of his pride now, his cubs shun him,
Repelled by needless roars, the revolting rants,
Tail tattered, biten by jackels at will,
His nose bit and beaten from battles better avoided,
Soul tethered to a label, only a title, "King of the Jungle" ,
Fleas and insects of all sorts find haven in his muddy mane
once so puffed and wide like a thunderhead trampling over Tanzania,
I hear him in the twilight, lonely, unsated and undesired,
Paranoid about a life that does not seem to love him,
His heart became a desserted Athens, a broken, rigid column slumped on the earth,
He wanders near the Nile, nearsighted and nervous
As an Egyptian boy of ancient lineage stalks him sensitively
Putting the speartip to his temple saying,
I see your ribs, your broken paws, your futility,
I will now deliver your soul unto the cool night,
The spear is launched with a certain bloodlust
piercing behind the shoulder blade, his heart hollers
with the cry of scarred suprise, the lion stumbles and pants
vanity no allowing blame for lack of vigilance,
the boy trots to the spot, kneels in token reverence
telling him, sip the black puddle of your error, as eyes fold ever shallow,
let me feed you these apples of arrogance
so to quiet your grievence, to sooth your ego before final sight,
there is no shame in being slain by a Pharoah King, old lion,
I shall wear your teeth as a timeless trophy of tragedy,
Emblematical of Pride gone on too long,
may the spirit of Herodetous teach this lesson to a new breed -

Africa, O Africa!
Home to such wonder and diversity-
From the Sahara to the Namib
Up the Highlands and down to the Savanna
From the serpentine Nile to the great Kiliminjaro
And from the Rain Forests to the Serengeti-
How we have loved you!
But your love is bittersweet
Your lips drip with honeycomb
Alas, your kiss is the kiss of death.
You slash and you burn
You rape without giving back
Spiritism pollutes the very air you breathe
Your snow-capped mountains bury secrets
While your ancient rivers run crusty dry.
O Africa, sweet land of the ages!
Your lush forests and plains breathe life-
From the Wildebeest to the Lion
The stately Giraffe to the powerful Rhino
From the Great White Elephant to the Boa
And from the Chimp to the Gazelle-
How awestruck we are!
But your lust for wealth is insatiable
Your desire for riches has blinded you
Mother earth gently weeps.
The rifle has become your lover
The machete your constant companion
And with your slaughtering knife you maim
The spirits of the dead have left for
A distant land - never to return.
Africa, my Africa!
An eclectic people you have always been-
From the Masai to the Aborigine
The Ethiopian to the Egyptian
From the Hutu to the Tustsi
And from the Kenyan to the Zulu-
How impressive you are!
But your tribes embrace hate
The killings, O God - the killings
Weep for your children, the innocent babes.
The graveyards are not yet full
Sheol hungers for her prey
Hades cries out for more victims
Satan presides from his throne on a crag
His angels are giddy with lusty delight.
Africa, our Africa!
Look deep inside yourself
Into the very depths of your soul.
Return to us with humble heart
For you are beautiful
Yes, you are beautiful-
And we love you
*For the photo
O Child Not Mine
I hear your cries, O child not mine
I sense your anguish and despair
your shattered heart whispers sad songs
your crushed spirit yearns for release
a world gone mad in a universe of madness
chilling tales told by old women
the rantings of useless and wayward men
what can be done to save a soul
who will speak for the downtrodden
who will listen to the desperate pleas
I reach out to you, O child not mine
your broken heart I shall mend
your silent pleas have touched me deeply
places concealed have been exposed
chaos reigns among the created ones
claims of godliness are circumspect
the trumpet blows, demands an accounting
who will teach the little ones
who will take up the cause
what will it take to move the hearts of men
I am here for you, O child not mine
with songs of love and tranquility
wings of protection are mine to give
freely I do give them to you
yes, freely I do give them to you

Cohabitating with your floral penance,
I slow grind
All metaphorical bets,
Jumping head first
Another solemn wish
Unto you
To caress my smile
Another didactic breath
For your silky, titanium retinas
To share this potent sway
Against time
I, grip
Rusty handle bars to ride
Upon your caramel sunsets
Sweetened with diabetic urges,
Inject me towards unbridled upbringings,
Chrysanthemum sentences
Etched upon your neck
Of Egyptian cotton awakenings
I do not want to be your tomorrow,
Because that could never be promised
Yet, all we have is today.
Because all we have is today.
All we have is today…

We feel it and it does deeply affect and touch us.
If the artist was balanced when he or she drew it
Like the Egyptian cultures with its hieroglyphs.
It's the third eye in fact the dormant pineal gland
That resides between the two hemispheres of the brain.
*In War of the worlds, H.G.wells' third eye visualizes
The spaceship, space travel and the life in some planets.
Scientists act as visualizers too by theoretical research
To transform higher realities in limited physical reality.

Getting in a trance ending migraine headache forever.

Dispatched by Mark Antony to fetch his queen
An Egyptian with beauty of world renown
Five-thousand mighty Roman warriors sailed
Committed to driving Egypt's army down
Cleopatra was basking on a Nile barge
While the fleet remained offshore waiting for night
'Neath the cloak of darkness warriors arrived
To surprise defenders and battle incite
Fully armored Roman forces held the edge
Razor-sharp swords pierced Egyptians' tanned skin
Into the gently flowing Nile, Egyptian blood spilled
The desert soldiers' garb was softer than tin
When heat rose with dawn's light on the pyramids
Only a few hundred Egyptian soldiers remained
But they fought with the courage of a thousand more
Determined to protect Cleopatra's reign
Defenders fought with valor; none sought mercy
Just as victory seemed within Rome's grasp
A bloody trail to the palace had been carved
But Cleopatra lay dead, bitten by an asp
Noble Antony awaited his army
Rejoicing when the first ship came into view
But they'd waged their fiercest fight futilely
Now they mustered to strength to tell Antony too
Warriors' hearts were filled with compassion
The sign of a truly devoted band
As they offered support for their ruler's loss
Antony felt the power of each and every man
*But for the fact that Antony and Cleopatra
were lovers, this poem is entirely fictional.
Antony and Cleopatra actually wed and
Antony moved to Egypt.

Hieroglyphs and Holograms
used in old Egyptian times...
through symbols, signs and pictures;
non-verbal interactions.
Ancient Egyptians
interpreted at a glance
meanings and feelings.
Symbols would stir emotions...
provide factual knowledge.
exist in these modern times;
new name...Emoji.
Used in our digital world...
pictures like smiley faces.
Just like hand signals,
Emojis speak non-verbal
emotions, feelings...
a whole thought in one image
enhances verbal insights.
Holograms...new tech...
3-D visions, light induced.
Like feats of magic,
project images not there...
visions that hang in the air.
Where will this tech lead...
like ancient Hieroglyphs
replaced by plain words...
will we reverse the process;
draw 3-D symbols in air...
Language of symbols...
holograms show more than words;
images and signs
3-D Hieroglyphics...
expressions of tomorrow...?

Emoji: digital technology, a small digital picture or pictorial symbol that represents a thing, feeling, concept, etc., used in text messages and other electronic communications and usually part of a standardized set.
Example: She texted me an emoji of "money with wings," which may mean she's out shopping.

You may wonder why I went after Eve.
Let's face it: That was a big mistake.
At nun-time, attuned to the earth,
paradise on earth was mine…still I wanted more.
So, I pulled myself up, joined with Re, and got heaven, too.
That should have done it: got creative, worked, achieved,
partnered, advanced… merited a little reputation even.
But some revisionist considering the Egyptian myth
merely an approximation of happiness, and therefore
out of character, went with a more ambitious agenda
(Give me more!) and altered the script. Red lined and marginally
questioned for review, it seemed to call to me.
Beckoned for attention. Not one to settle for mediocrity,
I took on the challenge, of a vastly improved edition –
sought standing… and slipped.
Guess I misinterpreted the signs, didn't understand that the
surface itch might have been only for another version of me.
A newer skin would feel so much more gratifying
than contracting myself around some same-species body.
It was and remains within me a discomfort in my being
a slow rise to the surface of squirm, a need to slither
from the source. Uncomfortable. Annoyed with the lack of
consultation, nothing I would have ever turned
down or dismissed – I just wish I had been in the loop.
She has separated from me already.
My leaving the scene would only be
the physical manifestation, like the itch,
a physical manifestation of discomfort
tangible to the one who feels it.
But, you can't feel it, can you?
On the surface it appears calm,
but my skin burns for wanting, an escape.
Can you shed your own skin?
I slinked up with it at all because of the promise of youth sleeping
soundly in the garden, with no itch to complain of. No reason.
Still she will leave slivering down her own trail
then even a new skin wouldn't hide the tells of an old mind:
a new wrinkle in the scenario.
I'm getting old, the casing's flaking off,
and I'm just itching to get out of here.
So what's with the ironic punishment?
God, He just evolved me from my fingers!
What a card, dealt summarily;
destined to tingle and unable to scratch.
You've been dismissed. So, let us give thanks to god. (Amen?)
How'd you like to be in the serpent's shoes?
Just some extra muscles running down a semblance of a spine,
Perhaps it's evil to hold out apples like promises. (Give me more!)
Built to entice. Destined to disappoint.
If there's one thing to be said in my own defense: I am flexible.

Love, you have always been the guiding force
Truly outstanding, painting colors
Your amazing beauty dazzling in every way, with your light
Words draw sweetly, one goddess rising out, from deep sands
Silently, Egyptian queens whisper in the winds
Lifting tunes, sweetly sings a loving song
What Cleopatra was to Mark Anthony
Forever, love beyond kingdoms
Always breathing, their whispers until eternity
Looking upon a gift in you love
Drinking from the chalice, cup of everlasting beauty
Blossoming one golden, crowning treasure
Petals divine, soft, regal
Within your voice, chant sweet music of an angel
Kissing inside, happiness begins glowing
In a state of your grace
Joy beaming, pearly-white smiles
Touching your rays warmly
Within an abundance of sunshine
Opening up this heart and soul
Wishing in love's purity
That I could travel back in time
Loving, getting to know you
Falling asleep, deeply, warmly, in the night
Holding our dreams, loving you

I am lost in the heart of time and place
Stranded between the present and past
In my view are members of a civilized race
Whose slaves build stone pyramids to last
Hieroglyphics etched to record their history
Writings in symbolic language of inscriptions
In a complex allegorical system of mystery
Claimed to have been created by Egyptians
A hologram I witnessed scared me as a child
How did that blue woman get inside the ball
My imagination escaped and was running wild
In the Haunted Mansion ride she was so small
In three dimensions it was caused by laser light
But as a kid I couldn't have known how it was done
It succeeded in having the effect of causing fright
If I knew how it worked it would've spoiled the fun.
Now there is a hologram that you can actually touch
Using ultrasound waves that are traveling in air tracts.
It's called Ultra Haptics, and in the future will do much
To help with CT scans and dating Egyptian artifacts.
To see a hologram of Cleopatra would be stunning
I wonder if her hieroglyphic writing would give a clue
About the Queen known for her beauty and cunning.
Makes me wonder what else new technology can do.

Your mysticism captivates my world today
Covered in gold and ruins
We try to decode
What you left behind for us so long
Its been five thousand years
And we still feel so lost without you
Let your sun god Ra
Show us the path you took
The pyramids were the keys to your afterlives
Show us how to live our lives
I live in a world covered in blame
With people constantly finding someone else to blame
No boy king in Tut in our day
No Cleopatra ruling any day
Just a lot of villains called politicians
Oh great Egyptian Pharaohs
Show us how you brought prosperity and peace
To your once unstable land

This cat of mine
A presence
This particular cat
Others some have it
People too but lack the simplicity
The Sphinx comes to mind
Ages trail back of those eyes
Egyptian prized
Flashing eyes from the recesses some primordial cave
Totality of sensation cannot be described
It is a feeling old as creation
A softness inside "Big Bang!"
Its energy fills all space
With those ultra-microscopic specks (clearly invisible)
Which ultimately must come back together

I was moving way too fast for you,
it took me a little while to realize
you had reached your plateau.
My sights were on the infinite universe,
but yours was always without goal or prize,
our love became a coffin and you were a hearse.
We once made love under the stars and the
Milky Way was reflected in your pale green eyes,
you failed to comprehend the majesty of infinity,
and sulked about the wet grass and humidity.
We sailed along the Nile to wonder at ancient
temples and walk like an Egyptian in the
Sahara Desert, "Could have read about this place
in a book", you did frustratingly assert.
I rhapsodized about the beginning of deep time to when
mankind will be superseded and obsolete, yet your passion
was for a silly T.V show called Coronation Street.
I felt my zest for learning and life slowly evaporating from
my blood and bones as I watched you eat your daily
4 PM butter and scones.
I was slowly becoming asphyxiated by your insipid routine,
your life ruled by the clock and nothing shall come between.
Those months slowly turned into dreary years and I was resigned
to a death by boredom, I prayed to the Grim Reaper,
I was slowly dying of ennui and you were insouciant and blind,
my penchants for discovery were locked away and you
became the doorkeeper.
The fire in my belly was merely a dying ember gasping for air,
I stumbled upon a provocative and tempting fate who was
beyond compare, secretly charming me to end this nightmare.
Patiently, I plotted my escape from your castle of lackluster
dreams and its moat of banality, over those humdrum hills
to a land overseas and renewed vigor and vitality.

An Egyptian Queen
As I Fall asleep within this hour
To slowly leave this realm
I see my mother with serenity and great power
She is calm and ready to take the helm
Like queen Nefertiti, she sits upon a high throne of golden wood
It seems as if she has crossed over into another life
She has a high crown upon her head and is not misunderstood
Here at last; there is peace, love, happiness and no strife
I stare intently at her face
She looks ageless, beautiful and humble
And I feel that she belongs in this place
As she speaks to me, without even a murmur or a mumble.
Now i know that she is perfectly alright
And I hope that she is in seventh Heaven
Because she has fought the good fight
And must be in another dimension as she moves towards the number eleven
The message she tries to send me
I hear without her voice
She tells me to go on living, stop being sad and be free
And that I must remember, I have a choice
The path that I must take is very clear
For she has gone home to be with the father and the Father
And can no longer live in this dimension down here
So she says goodbye and fades away, my mother.

I am Anath, the warrior goddess
With rippling sand and sinuating curves
Not a lady, but a woman lawless
No merciful but set to test your nerves
My lips are dry, can't cry so always starve
If ready, I bloom in the dark of night
Come into me at sunset without fright
Stand with me and feel my serenity
Look out with me, feel how my depth incite
Will show secret spots of eternity.
* Anath is the name of a warrior goddess in Egyptian Mythology married to Seth, the God of Deserts and Storms.*

And she told him that she would love him
like no other woman ever will.
The accented sensuality to complete his sentences,
was her proclamation.
The Egyptian cotton blanketing her natural breasts,
sliding up his arms
as she wakes him for morning consummation;
epicenter consumption.
She told him that she craves him
beyond physical crux.
He was her equilibrium;
A key to Pandora's shattered box.
Its fragmented sins,
now synchronous with redemption's awakening.
Even after all these years…
Yet her heart
was wrapped
by hermetically sealed contention.
She told him
that she would love him
more than any other.
More than any other…
…like no other…
More than any other…
As she
strokes the pride
of another.

The slave kneels in reverence temple in Karnak's hollowed halls.
A prayers silent whisper echo's against stone walls.
Rituals divine figure, a golden idle lies before honor's altar
Mother earth's first born child, she whom is known as Isis.
Deities winged goddess with wings extended across heaven.
Embracing upper and lower Egypt beneath her ivory feathers.
The giver of life, magic and wisdom.
Upon a gilded throne she sits amongst the agust royal's,
Nobility's crowns bow in highest respects
To immortals grand mistress of fertility.
The Nile's waters separate as her highness steps
Forth to welcome the dawns first rays of light.
Almighty Osiris places his hand in hers uniting as one.
The mortal world is renewed again in loves faithful devotion.
Cast down the shadow of jealousy, Set's envious hatred kills beloved's
Most sacred.
Tears of sorrows shed at deaths trembling hand.
The Nile waters rise, flowing crimson red, breeching sandy barriers.
In cautious destructive reasoning she is inconsolable, overwhelming the lands,
With Wrath's devastation.
In tidal motions emotional earthquake, creations raw power restraints give way.
Piece by piece gather the maid, thus scattered limbs appendages lain at flames
Eternal sacrificial fire, a torch burns within the darkness.
The four winds blow raven tresses to and fro and a new magic is born unto the
World of men, loves ultimate truth it shall conquer all.
Softly she speaks his name, gently she reaches out,
Restorations goddess inhales,
Exhales and Osiris once again places his hand into hers.
Living again two lovers renewed in sacred vows ceremony.
Elders elite ascend towards their astral plain beyond the gates of infinity.
Glittering scepter shinning in brilliance sunlight given by Ra himself.
In the westward kingdom they rule side by side united in noble union.
Dynasty's Egyptian divinities spirits commanding mutually
In harmony's peaceful everlasting bliss.

I sometimes think of traveling to a mysterious distant land
To Cairo and the River Nile and walk on Egyptian sand
The Ismalia Folklore Festival brings together many nations
In the land so aptly called The Land of Civilizations
I ask for Wadjet to protect me as I see all that I can
At night, Nut puts on a show that could not be produced by man
I see the children playing with hearts so full of love
Thanking Hathor for the blessings that were sent from far above
Osiris please stay away as I'm not ready yet
I need to change my life as I too long have followed Set
Egyptian thoughts come and that's when this old sailor cries
As I remember a beautiful woman with dark Egyptian eyes
I pray to Anuket to once again see the River Nile
And to Isis that she would return the magic for a while
The mystery and the culture are only part of what you'll find
I smile to myself as Egyptian thoughts cross my mind.

There is reason to get up in the morning
Raisin toast, breakfast tacos, and even bacon
But I would make case that there is no reason to get up at all
Why would anyone leave a perfectly comfy bed?
Pillows all piled high and the duvet just so
Swimming in a sea of textile of Egyptian cotton or silk.
What fool would face the day when they can simply roll over?
Slide a foot out the side and bury your head in a pillow
Turn off the alarm clock (such a crude invention) and let time be.
I dare you to try it! See if you don't like it.
I would bet my bottom dollar you'd be happier in bed,
Than facing a day at the office or even a rainy day at best.
So lie humbly in bed and contemplate what you would face
If you got up and got dressed and went to breakfast
Especially if you could have it all brought to you.

It is here.
It is now.
It is
These tantric dialects
I taste the solstice of gray.
Foggy, silver-lined showers
Replenishment against elasticity's incomplete verb
Through whistling meadows of Nature's morn
Incredulous smiles become born
The muse in my a-muse-ment
Becomes paraphrased, violet-tinted charm
This unadulterated verbiage
Preparing moistened breaths
Into crux of night
Surrendering chain-link grips of consonants & vowels
Releasing her Egyptian cotton tethers
On elegant waterfall
Her blossomed fingernails
Digging whispered trenches against my back
Will speak louder

I am enthralled by his aura.
I am mesmerized by his strength.
He is my Samson.
I am his wanton princess.
He is as bronze as Tut.
Somewhere in the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt, we will make love.
Under the sunset within a pyramid, my womanhood will evolve into beautiful Queen Emanuel.
For the Lord is surely with us.
As we honeymoon, I am his strength and he is my comforter.
He will take me in his arms and serenade me at night.
We will visit many places for splendor inside.
We walk in antiquity.
We are enjoying this time.
We are lovers.
We are husband and wife.
Somewhere in Ancient Egypt, we will make love tonight.
Our time here is brief; therefore, we want memories to capture.
As our souls integrate, our spirit ignites.
For the Lord is surely with us.
This is our honeymoon afire.
He is my essence.
I am his desire.
Enraptured, I feel the rhapsody of my lovers thrust.
A euphoric atmosphere is the effervescent.
We will take these memories to higher plateau.
We are so deep in love.
Cairo, Egypt is our last visage under the Egyptian sun.
We will be here three days and two nights making love amongst the stars.
Our lunar existence is astrophysical.
We will conquer our destiny and embrace our wealth.
Love so deeply does not happen often enough.
Penned on October 21, 2014!

Maintenance plan promised for Hopkinton cemeteries
Maintenance plan promised for Hopkinton cemeteries
HOPKINTON — Whether deep in the woods or along busy roads, Hopkinton's 80 historic cemeteries could use some tender loving care, and most aren't getting any.
"I would like to see volunteers ready and able, eager to cut brush and pull up poison ivy and make them look presentable," said Richard Prescott, president of the Hopkinton Historical Association and member of the town's Historic District Commission. "I go up to northern New England, and you go by cemeteries and they look beautiful. We go by cemeteries here and they're growing up to brush."
Twelve of the cemeteries have perpetual care accounts, some established more than 100 years ago by families for the care of the graves.
The money, totaling more than $9,000, has remained in the custody of the town, which can release funds for cemetery maintenance. Two of the funds specify that the town cannot touch the principal, but the others do not place limits on spending.
The old cemetery properties belong to no one, because as part of his belief in the separation of church and state, Rhode Island's founding father, Roger Williams, believed that everyone had the right to bury their dead according to their own beliefs and customs. The Town Council has therefore balked at allocating town funds toward projects on land it doesn't own, such as Historic Cemetery No. 17, the Thurston burial ground. A large, rotting maple tree was threatening to fall and possibly damage many of the gravestones, and cutting it down would cost nearly $3,000. In the end, the historical association launched a successful appeal for donations to remove the tree, and a local tree service did the job at a greatly reduced price.
Town Council member Scott Bill Hirst, who is also on the Historic District Commission, told the council on Monday that he wondered who was taking care of all the other cemeteries, and if they were being maintained at all. "I do have concerns about the future of these cemeteries," he said.
Assistant Town Clerk Lauri Arruda, who co-authored a book on Hopkinton's old cemeteries, explained that many of them are small family graveyards, tucked far away in the woods.
"Some of them are very hard to find, extremely difficult to find," she said.
In a few of the cemeteries, relatives of those buried there mow the grass and take care of basic maintenance, while in others, unnamed volunteers quietly get the work done.
An example of anonymous volunteer work, Arruda told the council, is Historic Cemetery No. 14 off Woodville Alton Road.
"Every once in a while we'll go by and it's all cleaned up. We don't know who did it," she said.
Prescott told councilors he wanted the Historic District Commission to oversee the cemeteries and assess their varied conditions and needs, a responsibility that has already been conferred on the commission in the town's comprehensive plan. He also suggested trying to find living relatives of people buried in the cemeteries and tell them about the perpetual care funds.
"Somebody should be making them aware of how much is available to maintain and somebody should also be looking at the cemeteries, feet on the ground, to see if work is being done," he said.
Council Vice President Sylvia Thompson said, "It needn't be complex. It can be as simple as having a list, knowing that it is being done, even though you don't know who's doing it. The point is, it is being done....I think these funds should hopefully stay there and grow and if something comes up, like the tree, something serious, then you need to tap into the money."
Councilor Barbara Capalbo said she wanted to clarify which municipal department was administering the perpetual care funds.
"Who is actually running the funds?" she asked. "Originally, obviously it went through the town clerk, but that's when they had no treasurer or finance department. So does it go through finance? Does it go through the clerk? How do we do this in the 21st century?"
Council members finally agreed to transfer the funds to the finance department and ask the Historic District Commission to present a cemetery maintenance plan.
"I think we just spent more time on this tonight than has ever been spent on it by any department," Thompson said. "I think our problem's solved. All the things that have been brought up, the Historic District Commission is in the comprehensive plan to come up with a plan... I think that's where it belongs, not with us. We just say yes or no when the money goes out."
Prescott said he hoped that the cemeteries, particularly those visible from the road, would now get some attention.
"I don't think we can go into the woods and cut all of those cemeteries over and spruce them up, but at least the ones on the road, whether they have funding or not, should look good," he said. "Let's take pride in them."

I didn't find that there was anything special about this salad, and even though I squeezed the water from the cucumber strips (which were difficult to slice) the salad wilted very fast.
The cucumber did not curl as nicely in the picture and it lacked something. The onion called for was too much and next time I would add more ingredients. French dressing saved it.

Susan Stamberg, long-time much beloved National Public Radio personality, is among other things the author of the Susan Stamberg Five Second Rule, by which I have lived for years. The rule states that when you drop a piece of food on the kitchen floor while cooking, if you pick it up within five seconds it is all right to eat it. Now I learn that scientific tests have proved that the Five Second Rule is false. Apparently, germs take less time than that to get on food that has fallen on the floor.
This will require an entire reordering of my culinary routines.

Tomorrow I deliver and record the fourth Kant lecture. I have decided to say something briefly about the fact that the election looms over this effort. It seems odd not even to acknowledge it. Even though I am still shunning the TV news and commentary and the web commentary, the anxiety remains. I have been watching some Robert Sapolsky lectures on YouTube, and have learned that high levels of continuing stress are neurologically bad for you. Not surprising. Six weeks to go. How on earth will I survive?

I have just watched the newly released video taken during and after the police shooting of Keith Lamont Scott in Charlotte, North Carolina. It was murder, pure and simple. I have no doubt the officer who killed Mr. Scott will eventually be exonerated. This is an awful country.
Posted by Robert Paul Wolff at 1:21 PM 1 comment:
Ted Talbot offers the following comment: "At the beginning of the Transcendental Aesthetic, when Kant says: "Diese [die Anschauung] findet aber nur statt, sofern uns der Gegenstand gegeben wird; dieses aber ist wiederum, uns Menschen wenigstens, nur dadurch möglich, dass er das Gemüt auf gewisse Weise affiziert" he seems to be attributing a causal relationship ("affizieren") between objects in themselves and the mind, since "Gegenstand" here is not the object as it appears to us (the "affecting" occurs prior to mental activity and gets the ball rolling). Is this talk of "affecting" merely the ladder that Kant will soon toss aside à la Wittgenstein, maybe hauling it out again for his ethical theory? (I think I may be raising what Sidney Morgenbesser would have called a "Philosophy 1 question"), but so be it."
First of all, the passage that Professor Talbot quotes in the original German appears in the Kemp-Smith translation thus: "But intuition takes place only in so far as the object is given to us. This again is possible, to man at least, in so far as the mind is affected in a certain way." [ A 19 = B 33 ]
The simple answer to Professor Talbot's question is, "Yes." But that, to ring the changes on the old joke, is less than he wanted to know about rainbows. What is going on here is so complicated that I have given up any hope of including it in my lectures. There are limits, after all! However, I may be permitted to talk about it for a while on this blog. Those insatiable for the subject can consult my book, Kant's Theory of Mental Activity, where it is discussed at great length.
The text of the chapter called "The Deduction of the Pure Concepts of Understanding" is, in the First Edition, famously convoluted and apparently internally in conflict with itself, so much so that a great old Kant scholar, Hans Vaihinger, developed an elaborate "patchwork" theory of its composition. According to this theory, Kant, in haste to bring the book to publication [because he was a hypochondriac and thought he would not live to finish it], stitched together drafts lying on his desk from his nine years of labor, apparently not noticing that they contained passages that were flat out in contradiction with one another. No fewer than four layers or stages of the argument could be discerned, Vaihinger claimed, representing a development of the argument from its earliest stage, philosophically barely beyond the position Kant took in the Inaugural Dissertation of 1770, to its most mature stage, recapitulated coherently and successfully in the Second Edition rewrite of the chapter.
Now, as speculative history [Vaihinger did not actually have any datable documents from the Nachlass to which he could point] this is manifestly crazy. The greatest philosopher who has ever lived [he and I agree on that], when he is writing what he correctly believes to be the most important thing he will ever write, fails to notice that in the space of 20 pages or so he says four different incompatible things! Hello? Seriously?
BUT: Vaihinger was smart, and correctly identified a number of places in the text where Kant stops saying one sort of thing and starts saying something clearly different. Indeed, if we simply divide the chapter up by paying attention to the argument in a very intense, careful manner, it all divides up into pretty much exactly the passages that Vaihinger claimed were different drafts on Kant's desk.
One of the crucial "tells," as professional poker players call those subtle indications that an opponent is bluffing, is precisely how Kant identifies the object of representations. Sometimes he talks as though the object is a spatiotemporally delimited region of Appearances that affects our sense organs and produces perceptions, which is to say empirical intuitions. Sometimes he talks as though the object is a "Transcendental object = x," whose status is quite unclear. And in yet other places Kant seems clearly to say that it is the Thing-in-itself that affects our sensibility, generating a diversity or, as he says, a manifold of intuition.
Now it clearly cannot be all three. Indeed, these identifications are not just diverse, they are contradictory with one another. One possible explanation of what is going on is Vaihinger's Patchwork Theory of the Deduction. Another explanation [mine] is that Kant has so complicated a story to tell, a story so different from any story that had ever been told before by a philosopher, that he can only lay it out in stages, as it were, each stage a complication of its predecessor, until the final full-blown story is given to us not even in the Deduction, but in the Second Analogy.
Professor Talbot's invocation of Wittgenstein's ladder is thus, in my view, quite apt. Indeed, if I can keep it in mind, perhaps I will use it [with due credit to Professor Talbot.]

Alert: Shipping Stocks Ready To Rock 0 comments
Frontline Ltd. (NYSE:FRO) and Overseas Shipholding Group Inc. (NYSE:OSG) are surging today, jumping more than 5% each. Call buying noted in FRO started the move. In addition, major instability in shipping lanes associated with North Africa and the Middle East could increase shipping rates. Oil and gold are both jumping dramatically today on the fear sweeping the globe. Egypt, Tunisia and other countries are having riots of epic proportions.
The big question is, with these two shippers ripping higher, which shipping stock is next. Other shipping stocks are inching up and look very promising if the instability continues. As the markets get crushed on global fear and commodities like gold and oil surge, DryShips Inc. (NASDAQ:DRYS) is trading slightly higher at $4.89. This stock does look promising in this range and could follow FRO. In addition, Genco Shipping & Trading Limited (NYSE:GNK) has been rocked lower in recent weeks and does represent a solid reward scenario around this $11.35 level. Watch the riots, watch the shipping lanes and watch commodities.
