The ruins of Greece – Τα ερείπια (χαλάσματα) της Ελλάδος
Σάββατο, 12 Ιουλίου, 2014
«Only ruins remain and the beauty of the natural environment.» Lord Byron
Γύρισα στα ξανθά παιδιάτικα λημέρια,
γύρισα στο λευκό της νιότης μονοπάτι,
γύρισα για να ιδώ το θαυμαστό παλάτι,
για με χτισμένο απ' τών Ερώτων τ' άγια χέρια.
Το μονοπάτι το 'πνιξαν οι αρκουδοβάτοι,
και τα λημέρια τα 'καψαν τα μεσημέρια,
κ' ένας σεισμός το 'ρριξε κάτου το παλάτι,
και μέσ' στα ερείπια τώρα και στ' αποκαΐδια
απομένω παράλυτος· σαύρες και φίδια
μαζί μου αδερφοζούν οι λύπες και τα μίση·
και το παλάτι ένας σεισμός το 'χει γκρεμίσει.
Ασάλευτη ζωή, 1904

Translated by A. Moskios
On the question of the Greek poet's relation to his tradition, it has always seemed to me that the Greek poet has an advantage over his Anglo-Saxon counterpart who makes use of Greek mythology and sometimes even of Greek landscape. I remember years ago when I was writing a thesis on what I thought were English influences in the poetry of Cavafy and Seferis, I asked you about certain images that crop up in your landscape, for example, the symbolic meaning of the statues that appear in your work. You turned to me and said: «But those are real statues. They existed in a landscape I had seen.» What I think you were saying is that you always start with the fact of a living, actual setting and move from there to any universal meaning that might be contained in it.
An illustration of that from someone who is a specialist in classical statues came the other day from an English scholar who was lecturing about the statuary of the Parthenon. I went up to congratulate him after his lecture, and he said to me, as I remember: "But you have a line which expresses something of what I meant when you say 'the statues are not the ruins—we are the ruins.'" I mean I was astonished that a scholar of his caliber was using a line from me to illustrate a point.
George Seferis
The statues are not the ruins—we are the ruins
From an Interview to "The Paris Review", 2005 (epopteia)
«Unless we can relate it to ourselves personally, history will always be more or less an abstraction and its content the clash of impersonal forces and ideas. Although generalizations are necessary to order this vast, chaotic material, they kill the individual detail that tends to stray from the schema. . . . Afterwards all that remains of entire centuries is a kind of popular digest.»
Czesław Miłosz, Native Realm
Ruins come out of ruins. The story of the Acropolis is a good example. The original temple of Athena has been destroyed at least nine times in its two-and-a-half-thousand-year history. Burned by Heruli barbarians in ad 267, it was restored by Julian in ad 360, and then in 438 Christian priests hacked away at the nude sculptures and crowned the temple with a cross. The Ottoman Turks in 1456 replaced the cross with a minaret. There are still-bitter feelings about the damage done by the Venetians in 1687 when they bombed the Parthenon on September 26 under Francesco Morosini. Then there was also the sale of seventy-five sculptures by the Ottomans to Lord Elgin, the British ambassador to Greece, in 1802.
Adrianne Kalfopoulou, Ruin
You said: «…Wherever I turn, wherever I happen to look,
I see the black ruins of my life, here,
where I've spent so many years, wasted them, destroyed them totally."

«I alone have the key to this savage parade» Arthur Rimbaud
Δευτέρα, 9 Ιουνίου, 2014
Today is the day of Illumination and my mind goes to Arthur Rimbaud.
Rimbaud was born in Charleville, a provincial town of northeastern France in 1854.
When he was 21 he stopped writting and became an itinerant salesman, adventurer, opportunist.
He lived a short life, but in a sense he also lived a full life.
He died of bone cancer in 1891 in Marseille, at the Hôpital de la Conception. He was only 37 years old.
He was burried in Charleville. His tombe stone reads «Pray for him».
«I am the saint, at prayer on the terrace . . . / /
I am the learned scholar in the dark armchair . . . / /
I am the walker on the great highway . . .
I gaze for a long time at the melancholy gold laundry of the setting sun.»
Illuminations, translated by John Ashbery (3)
I rest my elbows on the table, the lamp illuminates these newspapers that I'm a fool for rereading, these books of no interest.
At a vast distance above my underground salon, houses take root, mists assemble. The mud is red or black. Monstrous city, endless night!
Further down, the sewers. At their sides, nothing more than the thickness of the globe. Maybe gulfs of azure, wells of fire. Perhaps at those levels moons and comets, seas and fables meet.
Illuminations, translated by John Ashbery (4)
Benjamin Britten's Illuminations (5)
Britten was deeply affected by the emotional intensity of these prose poems and decided to set them to music as soon as he had read them. As the soprano Sophie Wyss, the dedicatee of the cycle, recalled: "He was so full of this poetry he just could not stop talking about it, I suspect he must have seen a copy of Rimbaud's works while he was recently staying with [W.H.] Auden in Birmingham."
Britten chose a sentence from one of the poems as the motto for his cycle: "J'ai seul la clef de cette parade sauvage" ("I alone have the key to this savage parade"). This sentence also provides the "key" to Britten's view of Rimbaud's poetry: only the artist, observing the world from the outside, can hope to make sense of the "savage parade" that is life.
Patti Smith and Rimbaud
Draped in a mosquito net-like sheath, the "litter," a sort of palanquin, is a recreation of that used to transport Rimbaud from Abyssinia to France for medical care, where he died just months later at the age 37. On the surface of the litter, Mr. Rimbaud's last words are inscribed. In this way, the piece is a sick bed as well as a grave, complete with epigraph. (1)
This installation was part of Patty Smith's «Camera Solo» exhibition back in 2011 at the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Connecticut.
«Oh arthur arthur. we are in Abyssinia Aden. making love smoking cigarettes. we kiss. but it's much more. azure. blue pool. oil slick lake. sensations telescope, animate. crystalline gulf. balls of colored glass exploding. seam of berber tent splitting. openings, open as a cave, open wider, total surrender.»
Patti Smith, from «dream of rimbaud».
Being Beauteous
Against a snowfall a Being Beauteous, tall of stature. Whistlings of death and circles of muffled music make this adored body rise, swell and tremble like a spectre; wounds, scarlet and black, break out in the magnificent flesh. The true colors of life deepen, dance and break off around the Vision, on the site. And shivers rise and groan, and the frenzied flavor of these effects, being heightened by the deathly whistlings and the raucous music which the world, far behind us, casts on our mother of beauty, — she retreats, she rears up. Oh! our bones are reclothed by a new, loving body.
O the ashen face, the shield of hair, the crystal arms! The cannon on which I must hurl myself through the jumble of trees and buoyant air!
Illuminations, translated by George Hall (5)
Bob Dylan and Arthur Rimbaud
Suze Rotolo introduced Dylan to the works of Rimbaud:
«I came across one of his letters called «Je est un autre,» which translates into «I is someone else.» When I read those words the bells went off. It made perfect sense. I wished someone would have mentioned that to me earlier.»
Bob Dylan: «Chronicles, vol 1″
The literary characters, themes, and lines that have populated the world of Dylan's musical landscape have been as deep and varied over the years as his references to history and the folk tradition. In his early years, Dylan was significantly touched by the American Beats—by Kerouac's On the Road, and also by the poetry of Allen Ginsberg and Lawrence Ferlinghetti—and by French symbolists like Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud. Both Verlaine and Rimbaud are mentioned specifically in the Blood on the Tracks song "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go." (6)
Ellen Willis writes that "[Dylan] had less in common with the left than with literary rebels—Blake, Whitman, Rimbaud, Crane, Ginsberg"—mostly poets—and later describes Dylan as a man whose admirers look at him as "a poet using rock-and-roll to spread his art."(6)
The Escape
"My day is done: I am leaving Europe. The marine air will burn my lungs; unknown climates will tan my skin." (A Season in Hell)
The year 1878… After stopping by several cities in Africa, Cyprus welcomes Rimbaud with its tranquillity. Here in Cyprus, he works as a supervisor at a stone quarry. He turns out to be a "man of action" totally leaving aside his personality of a " man of thought". He takes fancy in doing hard work. Poetry is dead for him. He never mentions his 'previous' life and his glorious days in Paris. No one, not even his employer, knows where he is from or who he is. Upon the inquiries concerning his past he replies, "absurd" and goes on "ridiculous, disgusting". Rimbaud, has become somebody else. He is leading a tranquil and silent life in Cyprus, where he escaped from his past or maybe from himself. (7)

Lord Byron's «Giaour – A Fragment of a Turkish Tale»
Κυριακή, 8 Δεκεμβρίου, 2013
«Greece was the mostly sought Eastern country by travelers during the 19th century.» (1)
Lord Byron visited Greece for the first time in his 1809-1810 travels to the South of Europe.
While in Greece, he heard a story about a woman who experienced terrible death by been thrown into the sea alive inside a bag.
This story gave Lord Byron the material for his poem «The Giaour».
The «Giaour» is Byron's only narrative poem, and the first of four Turkish tales that he wrote.
It is also a poem that in a way contributed the birth of the «vampire», albeit a vampire different from the one we are accustomed in the 21st century.
George Gordon Noel, sixth Baron Byron
George Gordon Noel, sixth Baron Byron, was born on 22 January 1788 in London.
In July 1823, Byron left Italy to join the Greek insurgents who were fighting a war of independence against the Ottoman Empire.
On 19 April 1824 he died from fever at Messolonghi, in modern day Greece.
His death was mourned throughout Britain. His body was brought back to England and buried at his ancestral home in Nottinghamshire.
Byron had enormous influence on the romantic movement and European poetry. One of the poets greatly influenced by Byron was Goethe.
He is also the only English poet Bertrand Russell included in his History of Western Philosophy.
«Romantic Orientalism, then, became part of the larger movement of British Romanticism, which was further enthused by Napoleon"s invasion of Egypt (1798–1799) and Greece"s War of Independence (1821–1828). To Romantic travelers, scholars, artists and men of letters the Orient constituted a distant world which conveniently suited their search for the exotic and sublime experiences.» (1)
In his book «Orientalism», Edward Said observes: "Popular Orientalism during the late eighteenth century and the early nineteenth attained a vogue of considerable intensity"
Apparently Byron was not driven to orientalism by accident. In «Interrogating Orientalism», the editors observe (3):
In late August 1813, Byron had advised his friend Tom Moore to read Antoine Laurent Castellan's Moeurs, usages, costumes des Othomans (1812) for poetic materials:
«Stick to the East; the oracle, Stael, told me it was the only poetic policy. The North, South, and West, have all been exhausted; but from the East, we have nothing but Southey's unsaleables. . . . The little I have done in that way is merely a "voice in the wilderness" for you; and, if it has had any success, that also will prove that the public are orientalizing, and pave the path for you. (Letters and Journals 3:101)»
adding that «the public are orientalizing.»
Following his own advice, he dashed off and published three more «Turkish tales» before the next year was out — The Bride of Abydos (published in December 1813 and reissued in ten further editions of 1814 and 1815), The Corsair (published in February 1814 — selling ten thousand copies on the first day — and reissued in eight or more editions through 1815), and Lara (published in August 1814, with five or six subsequent editions in the next couple of years). (6)
The Giaour
The word «giaour» means foreigner or infidel, and in this Moslem context Byron's hero is a Christian outsider, in a situation enabling contrasts of ideas about love, sex, death, and the hereafter.
The Giaour was started in London between September 1812 and March 1813, first published by John Murray in late March 1813, and finally completed December 1813, after having, in Byron's words, "lengthened its rattles" (BLJ III 100) from 407 lines in the first draft to 1334 lines in the twelfth edition. (4)
According to one of Byron's letters, the story in the poem was a tale he'd overheard "by accident recited by one of the coffee-house story tellers who abound in the Levant," and he blamed the fragmented style on a "failure of memory,"
The narrative is built around a doomed love triangle, composed of the Giaour, a nameless Christian, Hassan and one of his wives, Leila. Leila « breaks her bower, » goes out into the world of men and taking the Giaour as a lover, lashes out against the values that structure her society. Hassan attemps to reestablish the balance by confining her to a space even smaller than the harem : a canvas bag which is then summarily thrown over the side of a boat unbeknownst to its crew and the reader, to whom this episode is recounted through the eyes of a fisherman. The Giaour takes his revenge, ambushing Hassan in a mountain pass, then, crushed by his part in Leila's death, spends the rest of his days spurning the solace offered him by a man of the cloth, representative of orthodoxy. (7)
The heroine of the poem, Leila is a silent and passive heroine.
Another Leila in Byron's Don Juan has a similar profile (8)
Delacroix (5)
Following a visit to England in 1825, Eugène Delacroix, the leading Romantic painter in France, based this painting on the poem The Giaour (pronounced jor) written by English poet Lord Byron in 1813. The subject—passions avenged on the faraway Greek battlefield—is perfectly suited to the Romantic vision of exotic locales and unleashed emotion.
In the painting, a Venetian (my note: according to others, Giaour was a Christian without more specifics, but it does not really matter, does it?) known as the Giaour—a Turkish term for infidel—fights the Muslim Hassan to avenge the death of his lover, who was killed by Hassan after fleeing his harem. The stark setting and aggressive movements place the focus of the painting on these two main characters. Weapons poised, the enemies face off in mirrored poses: the Giaour in swirling white with bloodshot eyes, Hassan facing his opponent with his weapon raised. The dynamic motion and emotion of the composition, which looks back to the Baroque style of Peter Paul Rubens, is further heightened by the artist's use of high-keyed colors and bold and loose brushwork. Delacroix's handling of pigments was influenced by a mid-19th-century color theory that stated that a spot of color will appear to be surrounded by a faint ring of its complement. In Delacroix's painting, the adaptation of this effect is seen in the artist's use of complementary colors, rather than the addition of black pigment, to create shadows.
The Combat of the Giaour and Hassan was included in an exhibition at the Parisian Galerie Lebrun to benefit the Greeks and their war of liberation from the Ottoman Turks (1821–1832). This political cause inspired numerous Romantic artists, writers, and musicians, and was the subject of one of Delacroix's best-known paintings, The Massacre at Chios. The latter painting was based on an actual incident in the Greek wars of independence, unlike the Art Institute's painting, which is derived from a work of fiction. Both are examples of Orientalism in Romantic painting, in which depictions of the Middle East and North Africa emphasize the exotic appeal of the lands and their people.
As an article in BBC informs us,
«Byron was one of the first authors to write about vampires and his image even inspired the look of the monsters.» (2) The following is an extensive quote from the article:
Dr Matt Green is a lecturer at the University of Nottingham. The Gothic expert said: «The vampire first comes into English literature around the end of the eighteenth century.
«One of the first poems the vampire features in is by Lord Byron. It's a poem called The Giaour (a Turkish word for an infidel or nonbeliever).
«At one point the giaour is cursed by his enemy to become a vampire and to prey and feed on his descendents.»
The poem goes: «Bur first, on earth as Vampire sent, Thy corse shall from its tomb be rent: Then ghastly haunt thy native place, And suck the blood of all thy race.»
«At this stage the vampire in Byron's poem and in English literature is more a zombie figure. He comes out of the ground and he eats those around him and then goes back into the ground. He can't wander far from his place of birth and his family.»
That perception was about to change and Byron would be central to it.
The university lecturer said: «It's not until a couple of years later that the vampire becomes this cosmopolitan, seductive figure. That has to do with Byron as well.»
Excerpts of the poem
The maid for whom his melody,
His thousand songs are heard on high,
Blooms blushing to her lover's tale:
His queen, the garden queen, his Rose,
Unbent by winds, unchilled by snows,
Far from winters of the west,
By every breeze and season blest,
Returns the sweets by Nature given
In soft incense back to Heaven;
And gratefu yields that smiling sky
Her fairest hue and fragrant sigh.
The foam that streaks the courser's side
Seems gathered from the ocean-tide:
Though weary waves are sunk to rest,
There's none within his rider's breast;
And though tomorrow's tempest lower,
'Tis calmer than thy heart, young Giaour!
I know thee not, I loathe thy race,
But in thy lineaments I trace
What time shall strengthen, not efface:
Though young and pale, that sallow front
Is scathed by fiery passion's brunt;
Though bent on earth thine evil eye,
As meteor-like thou glidest by,
Right well I view thee and deem thee one
Whom Othman's sons should slay or shun.
Not thus was Hassan wont to fly
When Leila dwelt in his Serai.
Doth Leila there no longer dwell?
That tale can only Hassan tell:
Strange rumours in our city say
Upon that eve she fled away
When Rhamazan's last sun was set,
And flashing from each minaret
Millions of lamps proclaimed the feast
Of Bairam through the boundless East.
'Twas then she went as to the bath,
Which Hassan vainly searched in wrath;
For she was flown her master's rage
In likeness of a Georgian page,
And far beyond the Moslem's power
Had wronged him with the faithless Giaour.
Somewhat of this had Hassan deemed;
But still so fond, so fair she seemed,
Too well he trusted to the slave
Whose treachery deserved a grave:
And on that eve had gone to mosque,
And thence to feast in his kiosk.
'Yes, Leila sleeps beneath the wave,
But his shall be a redder grave;
Her spirit pointed well the steel
Which taught that felon heart to feel.
He called the Prophet, but his power
Was vain against the vengeful Giaour:
He called on Allah – but the word.
Arose unheeded or unheard.
Thou Paynim fool! could Leila's prayer
Be passed, and thine accorded there?
I watched my time, I leagued with these,
The traitor in his turn to seize;
My wrath is wreaked, the deed is done,
And now I go – but go alone.'
Yet died he by a stranger's hand,
And stranger in his native land;
Yet died he as in arms he stood,
And unavenged, at least in blood.
But him the maids of Paradise
Impatient to their halls invite,
And the dark Heaven of Houris' eyes
On him shall glance for ever bright;
They come – their kerchiefs green they wave,
And welcome with a kiss the brave!
Who falls in battle 'gainst a Giaour
Is worthiest an immortal bower.
»Tis twice three years at summer tide
Since first among our freres he came;
And here it soothes him to abide
For some dark deed he will not name.
But never at our vesper prayer,
Nor e'er before confession chair
Kneels he, nor recks he when arise
Incense or anthem to the skies,
But broods within his cell alone,
His faith and race alike unknown.
The sea from Paynim land he crost,
And here ascended from the coast;
Yet seems he not of Othman race,
But only Christian in his face:
I'd judge him some stray renegade,
Repentant of the change he made,
Save that he shuns our holy shrine,
Nor tastes the sacred bread and wine.
To love the softest hearts are prone,
But such can ne'er be all his own;
Too timid in his woes to share,
Too meek to meet, or brave despair;
And sterner hearts alone may feel
The wound that time can never heal.
The rugged metal of the mine,
Must burn before its surface shine,
But plunged within the furnace-flame,
It bends and melts – though still the same;
Then tempered to thy want, or will,
'Twill serve thee to defend or kill;
A breast-plate for thine hour of need,
Or blade to bid thy foeman bleed;
But if a dagger's form it bear,
Let those who shape its edge, beware!
Thus passion's fire, and woman's art,
Can turn and tame the sterner heart;
From these its form and tone are ta'en,
And what they make it, must remain,
But break – before it bend again.
My spirit shrunk not to sustain
The searching throes of ceaseless pain;
Nor sought the self-accorded grave
Of ancient fool and modern knave:
Yet death I have not feared to meet;
And the field it had been sweet,
Had danger wooed me on to move
The slave of glory, not of love.
I've braved it – not for honour's boast;
I smile at laurels won or lost;
To such let others carve their way,
For high renown, or hireling pay:
But place again before my eyes
Aught that I deem a worthy prize
The maid I love, the man I hate,
And I will hunt the steps of fate,
To save or slay, as these require,
Through rending steel, and rolling fire:
Nor needest thou doubt this speech from one
Who would but do ~ what he hath done.
Death is but what the haughty brave,
The weak must bear, the wretch must crave;
Then let life go to him who gave:
I have not quailed to danger's brow
When high and happy – need I now?
'I loved her, Friar! nay, adored -
But these are words that all can use -
I proved it more in deed than word;
There's blood upon that dinted sword,
A stain its steel can never lose:
'Twas shed for her, who died for me,
It warmed the heart of one abhorred:
Nay, start not – no – nor bend thy knee,
Nor midst my sins such act record;
Thou wilt absolve me from the deed,
For he was hostile to thy creed!
The very name of Nazarene
Was wormwood to his Paynim spleen.
Ungrateful fool! since but for brands
Well wielded in some hardy hands,
And wounds by Galileans given -
The surest pass to Turkish heaven
For him his Houris still might wait
Impatient at the Prophet's gate.
I loved her – love will find its way
Through paths where wolves would fear to prey;
And if it dares enough, 'twere hard
If passion met not some reward -
No matter how, or where, or why,
I did not vainly seek, nor sigh:
Yet sometimes, with remorse, in vain
I wish she had not loved again.
She died – I dare not tell thee how;
But look – 'tis written on my brow!
There read of Cain the curse and crime,
In characters unworn by time:
Still, ere thou dost condemn me, pause;
Not mine the act, though I the cause.
Yet did he but what I had done
Had she been false to more than one.
Faithless to him, he gave the blow;
But true to me, I laid him low:
Howe'er deserved her doom might be,
Her treachery was truth to me;
To me she gave her heart, that all
Which tyranny can ne'er enthral;
And I, alas! too late to save!
Yet all I then could give, I gave,
'Twas some relief, our foe a grave.
His death sits lightly; but her fate
Has made me – what thou well mayest hate.
His doom was sealed – he knew it well
Warned by the voice of stern Taheer,
Deep in whose darkly boding ear
The deathshot pealed of murder near,
As filed the troop to where they fell!
He died too in the battle broil,
A time that heeds nor pain nor toil;
One cry to Mahomet for aid,
One prayer to Allah all he made:
He knew and crossed me in the fray -
I gazed upon him where he lay,
And watched his spirit ebb away:
Though pierced like pard by hunters' steel,
He felt not half that now I feel.
I searched, but vainly searched, to find
The workings of a wounded mind;
Each feature of that sullen corse
Betrayed his rage, but no remorse.
Oh, what had vengeance given to trace
Despair upon his dying face I
The late repentance of that hour,
When penitence hath lost her power
To tear one terror from the grave,
And will not soothe, and cannot save.

Casa sul Mare – una poesia di / House by the Sea – a poem by (Eugenio Montale)
Τρίτη, 18 Ιουνίου, 2013
Ora i minuti sono uguali e fissi
Come i giri di ruota della pompa.
Un giro: un salir d'acqua che rimbomba.
Un altro, altr'acqua, a tratti un cigolio.
Il viaggio finisce a questa spiaggia
Che tentano gli assidui e lenti flussi.
Nulla disvela se non pigri fumi
La marina che tramano di conche
I soffi leni: ed è raro che appaia
Nella bonaccia muta
Tra l'isole dell'aria migrabonde
La Corsica dorsuta o la Capraia. Tu chiedi se così tutto svanisce
In questa poca nebbia di memorie;
se nell'ora che torpe o nel sospiro
del frangente si compie ogni destino.
Vorrei dirti che no, che ti s'appressa
l'ora che passerai di là dal tempo;
forse solo chi vuole s'infinita,
e questo tu potrai, chissà, non io.
Penso che per i più non sia salvezza,
ma taluno sovverta ogni disegno,
passi il varco, qual volle si ritrovi.
Vorrei prima di cedere segnarti
codesta via di fuga
labile come nei sommossi campi
del mare spuma o ruga.
Ti dono anche l'avara mia speranza.
A' nuovi giorni, stanco, non so crescerla:
l'offro in pegno al tuo fato, che ti scampi. Il cammino finisce a queste prode
che rode la marea col moto alterno.
Il tuo cuore vicino che non m'ode
salpa già forse per l'eterno. House by the Sea (translated by William Arrowsmith) Here the journey ends: in these petty cares dividing a soul no longer able to protest. Now minutes are implacable, regular as the flywheel on a pump. One turn: a rumble of water rushing. Second turn: more water, occasional creakings. Here the journey ends, on this shore probed by slow, assiduous tides. Only a sluggish haze reveals the sea woven with troughs by the mils breezes: hardly ever in that dead calm does spiny Corsica or Capraia loom through islands of migratory air. You ask: Is this how everything vanishes, in this thin haze of memories? Is every destiny fulfilled in the torpid hour or the breaker's sigh? I would like to tell you: No. For you the moment for your passage out of time is near: transcendence may perhaps be theirs who want it, and you, who knows, could be one of those. Not I. There is no salvation, I think, for most, but every system is subverted by someone, someone breaks through, becomes what he wanted to be. Before I yield, let me help you find such a passage out, a path fragile a ridge or foam in the furrowed sea. And I leave you my hope, too meager for my failing strength to foster in days to come. I offer it to you, my pledge to your fate, that you break free. My journey ends on these shores eroded by the to-and-fro of the tides. Your heedless heart, so near, may even now be lifting sail for the eternities.
1. The poem «Casa sul Mare» is in the collection «Ossi di Seppia – Cuttlefish Bones». It was published with the original poems and the english translation by Norton in 1992.
2. The critic and Montale's friend Sergio Solmi observes about the «House by the Sea» that the poem adumbrates a theme dear to Montale, «the sense of a failed and enclosed life, despairing now of being equal to its original idea… escape from the 'limbo of maimed existences', succeed in living fully and saving itself».
3. «For you the moment for your passage out of time is near»: is the «passage out of time» the poetic interpretation of «death»?

It was sometime before or during the second world war that George got hold of it.
Shortly after the Germans withdrew from Greece in October 1944, another War started, the Greek Civil War that lasted until 1949.
At that time George was an officer of the Greek Army, and served at the front line.
It was during a long engagement of the Greek Army with the communist – supported «Democratic Army of Greece» in the Northwestern area near Konitsa, called «Mastorohoria», that the story with the poetry book unfolded.
George had taken the book with him.
During one of the skirmishes with the enemy, George's unit had to cross in a haste the river Sarantaporos; in the process he lost the book.
When George's unit took the offensive again, they crossed the river going north, and succeeded to push their opponents further to the north.
During this successful offensive, at the end of an operation they went by a machine gun bunker.
There was smoke coming out of it.
As a standard procedure, they had to go in and ensure that it was safe.
They went in and found that all inside were dead.
In the middle of the burning debris and the dead bodies, the officer in charge found a and picked up bloodstained book.
Much to his surprise, inside the book he saw an inscription with George's name.
After the officer finished his inspection of the burned bunker he came out carrying the poetry book in his hands and went straight to George.
«George, is this your book?» he asked.
George took the book in his hands: «Yes, it is mine»
«Do you want to take it?» the officer asked.
George did not take the book.
He left it there.
The cleansing of Lent Monday – A conceptual-linguistic detour / Η καθαρση της Καθαρας Δευτερας – Μια περιηγηση εις τον γλωσσο-εννοιολογικον χωρον
Παρασκευή, 15 Μαρτίου, 2013
Επερχομενης καλπαζουσης της Καθαρας Δευτερας, αποδιδομαι ελευθερως εις περιηγησιν εις τον γλωσσο-εννοιολογικον μετα-σημασιολογικον χωρον, εναγωνιως αποζητων την αποδομητικην αποκαταστασιν της απολυτης ανεπαρκειας του γλωσσικου εργαλειου. Και να τονισω μετα στεντοριου φωνης οτι κατεληξα εις το συμπερασμα οτι δεν μου αρεσει ο Βιτγκενσταιν.
Καθαιρω = απαλλασσω απο κατι βλαβερο.
Συνωνυμος ο εξαγνισμος.
Δυστυχως δεν αρκει το να πατε σε χαμαμι δια να εξαγνισθειτε.
Αν υποθεσομε οτι ειναι εφικτος ο εξαγνισμος σας.
Σας θυμιζω οτι οσοι καηκαν στην Ιερα Πυρα της Ιερας Εξετασεως επασχαν απο την ουτοπικη ελπιδα οτι μπορει να εξαγνισθουν. Ερχοντουσαν λοιπον οι καλοι ανθρωποι της Εξετασεως και τους ελεγαν «που πατε πουλακια μου; δεν εχει δρομο για σας, δεν εχει οδο, στην Πυρα!!!!!»
Καθαρτηριος ο τοπος στον οποιον θα πεταξωμεν τους χαρταετους. Αλλα και ο χωρος εις τον οποιον συντελειται καθαρσις.
Καθαρτηριον = τοπος εις τον οποιον συνανων, ωστιζονται ψυχες προσδοκουσες οτι θα εισελθουσιν εις την Βασιλειαν των Ουρανων, ηγουν οτι εις τον Παραδεισον.
Ομως αφελεις συνοδοιποροι, που βαδιζετε;
Με τι προσοντα θα πατε στον Παραδεισο;;;
Για την Κολαση ειμαστε οι περισσοτεροι.
Φαγωμεν πιωμεν….
Καθαρση = η πραξη ή το αποτελεσμα του να απαλλαξομε τον τοπον, την χωραν, τους εαυτους μας, απο κατι βλαβερον. Αβεβαιως αλλα αμετανοητως, ο νους συνειρμικα ακουμπα την υπεροχον εικονα της Ελλαδος ανευ Μνημονιου. Καθαρσις, Εγερσις, Αναστασις!!!!!
Καθαρτικον = ουσια ητις υποβοηθει την κενωσιν του οργανισμου.
Τουτων ρηθεντων, ποια η διαφορα καθαρσεως και απολυμανσεως;
Εις ποιον βαθμον κινδυνευομεν απο τα μιασματα;
Μιασμα = μολυσμενος αερας
Θεωρια μιασματος = η θεωρια συμφωνα με την οποια η πανουκλα, η χολερα και λοιπες μολυσματικες ασθενειες ωφειλονται εις τον μιασματικον αεραν.
Μιασματα = εις την μετεμφυλιακην Ελλαδα. Οι κομμουνισται, οι συνοδοιποροι, τα κομμουνια, οι ανταρτες, οι σλαβοφιλοι. ΜΑζι με αυτους πανε πακεττο και οι ομοφυλοφυλοι, οι αθιγγανοι, οι Εβραιοι, οι αλλοθρησκοι, γενικως και ειδικως οσοι δεν ειναι ακριβως ιδιοι με την ¨καθαρη» ελληνικη φυλη.
Με ποια ερμηνευτικα εργαλεια θα προσεγγισομε την παραλληλον πορειαν της καθαρσεως της χωρας και της απολυμανσεως που κηρυσσει η Χρυση Αυγη;;;;;
Ειναι απλο. Η καθαρση προϋποθετει επιγνωση αμαρτιας και οικειοθελους παραστρατηματος.
Ενω η απολυμανση αποτελει διαδικασια που ειναι τυφλη.
Πορευομεθα λοιπον ως τυφλοι προς την Καθαραν Δευτεραν;;;;;
Η πορευομεθα με αυτογνωσιαν και αυτοσυντριβην;;;;;
Παιδιά, ήρθε η ώρα να αντιμετωπίσετε την Αλήθεια.
Ποτε δεν ειναι αργα.
Και οποια – διερωτωμαι – η σχεισις της καθαρσεως με την εξομολογησιν;;;;;;
Αμαρτια εξομολογηθεισα αμαρτια ουκ εστι.
Μετανοειτε αμαρτωλοι!!!!!
Η κρισις της Ελλαδος αποτελει ευκαιριαν δια ομαδικην εξομολογησιν και καθαρσιν.
Καλη Καθαρη Δευτερα, και μην ξεχνατε!!!!! Με τον ειναι ή τον αλλο τροπο, οι συντριπτικα περισσοτεροι οδευομεν προς την κολασιν.
Εμπιστευτικες πληροφοριες αναφερουν οτι οι ιθυνοντες ελαβαν τον Νομο του Παρετο και απο 80/20 τον εκαναν 1/99.
Οποτε χαλαρωστε, και απολαυστε τον αμαρτωλον βιον!!!!!
Naked heart forever – unprotected, exposed, defenceless
Πέμπτη, 14 Φεβρουαρίου, 2013
The Poet asks his Love to write
Visceral love, living death,
in vain, I wait your written word,
and consider, with the flower that withers,
I wish to lose you, if I have to live without self.
The air is undying: the inert rock
neither knows shadow, nor evades it.
And the heart, inside, has no use
for the honeyed frost the moon pours.
But I endured you: ripped open my veins,
a tiger, a dove, over your waist,
in a duel of teeth and lilies.
So fill my madness with speech,
or let me live in my calm
night of the soul, darkened for ever.
— Federico Garcia Lorca
'Du bist mein und bist so zierlich,'
You're mine and so dainty,
You're mine and so mannerly,
Yet still though you lack something:
You kiss now with such pointed lips,
Like a dove, when drinking it sips:
You're really too dainty a thing.
— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
O so dear
O so dear from far and near and white all
So deliciously you, Méry, that I dream
Of what impossibly flows, of some rare balm
Over some flower-vase of darkened crystal.
Do you know it, yes! For me, for years, here,
Forever, your dazzling smile prolongs
The one rose with its perfect summer gone
Into times past, yet then on into the future.
My heart that sometimes at night tries to confer,
Or name you most tender with whatever last word
Rejoices in that which whispers none but sister –
Were it not, such short tresses so great a treasure,
That you teach me a sweetness, quite other,
Soft through the kiss murmured only in your hair.
— Stephane Mallarme
Another Day
Enter the leafing woodland, visit the spring
Or the rocks where the roses bloom
Or search from a look-out, but nowhereLove are you to be seen in the light of day
And down the wind go the words of our once so
Beneficent conversation…
Your beloved face has gone beyond my sight,
The music of your life is dying away
Beyond my hearing and all the songs
That worked a miracle of peace once on
My heart, where are they now? It was long ago,
So long and the youth I was has aged nor is
Even the earth that smiled at me then
The same. Farewell. Live with that word always.
For the soul goes from me to return to you
Day after day and my eyes shed tears that they
Cannot look over to where you are
And see you clearly ever again.
— Friedrich Hoelderlin

Why Darden Executive Education
Innovation for the rest of us. You don't have to work at Google or IDEO to use design in your organization. Design Thinking for Innovative Business Problem Solving translates design from an abstract idea into a practical, everyday process any manager can use to spur innovation and drive organic growth, regardless of your creative bent.
Use design thinking to improve the speed and success of your innovation. This program distills design thinking into a clear process that will help you decrease the risk and cost of your projects by framing the challenges correctly so that innovation is maximized, gathering deep insights about value creation for your stakeholders, testing assumptions early and prototyping the concepts.
Learn to:
The design thinking methodology has been a true discovery to me. In a complex business world, the most difficult thing is not to have great ideas on how to improve things, but to get all the involved people on board and be able to stick to the plans. This is the real challenge. Design thinking allows us to include all the stakeholders from the beginning and this makes all the difference!! They all feel part of it because their opinion has been considered from the very start.

Make Me A Supermodel
Jonathan may have went in as the favorite to win Season 2 of Make Me a Supermodel, but 18-year-old Branden Rickman — whose age and inexperience made him the dark horse — was the one who went home with $100,000, a contract with New York Model Management and spread in Cosmopolitan.

Niki Taylor by Ian White/Bravo
Cheers to Make Me a Supermodel for picking Niki Taylor as one of its cohosts. On Bravo's promising new reality show, the cover girl comes across as more genuine than America's Next Top Model's Tyra Banks and warmer than Project Runway's Heidi Klum. That isn't tough, but Taylor's hard not to like and still easy on the eyes. (Her cohort Tyson Beckford ain't bad, either.)

Thank you
Which episode is that with John Doman? I know in the pilot he has a nice sweet sex scene where he shows everything too.
Thanks! Must seek that out.
Does anyone have any skimpy pictures of Jeremy Wade from River Monsters? I saw him on Conan with his legs spread and noticed his yummy crotch. He said in this interview below that he's been near-nude on the show. I'd never even heard of the show before.

Iceland may hold new currency auctions within weeks as the island scales back its defenses against capital flight, central bank Governor Mar Gudmundsson said.
"We'll begin the auctions as soon as we get applications from the intermediaries and when the amounts are sufficient to permit an auction," Gudmundsson said in an interview in Reykjavik. "I'm hoping that it will be in the next weeks."
The island, whose banks defaulted on $85 billion in 2008, is moving into the final stages of its resurrection plan as the last vestiges of crisis management are gradually removed. Iceland's decision, taken together with the International Monetary Fund, to impose capital controls three years ago was key to surviving the bleakest moments of the crisis and helped prevent an all-out run on the island's assets, Gudmundsson said.
"Without the capital controls it would have been much more difficult to ensure stability in the exchange rate, calling for much higher interest rates and an inability to shelter the domestic economy as well as we did," he said. "With the turbulence in the international markets lately, the capital controls have sheltered Iceland considerably, since there's no way of doing a run on the financing of the Icelandic state or the financing of the Icelandic banks."
The auctions are part of a first phase to free up offshore kronur. A second phase will deal with foreign investors' holdings of onshore kronur, according to the central bank. That phase will start when the offshore and onshore rates converge. Offshore kronur trade at about 250 to the euro, according to Reykjavik-based brokerage HF Verdbref. The onshore rate was 159.35 on Nov. 18.
Outperforming Euro Area
Iceland's economy will grow faster than the euro-area average this year and next, the IMF estimated in September. The cost of insuring against an Icelandic default, using credit default swaps, is lower than the average for the euro area.
Iceland's economy will grow 2.5 percent this year and next, versus 1.6 percent in the euro area this year and 1.1 percent in 2012, the IMF said Sept. 20. Next year, Iceland's current account surplus will widen to 3.2 percent of the economy and unemployment will be 6 percent, versus 9.9 percent joblessness in the euro area, the fund said.
The stabilization of the island's economy has allowed the central bank to press ahead with capital liberalizations that the government estimates won't be fully dropped until 2013. The approach allows foreign investors eager to offload their krona holdings to transfer them to foreign or local investors willing to commit long-term to the island, according to the central bank.
Foreign Direct Investment
"This will show how much interest there is in direct foreign investment in Iceland," Gudmundsson said. "This step will help us considerably in reducing the amount of offshore kronur and transferring them from those, who might unwillingly hold them, into the hands of those who are willing to use them in Iceland. That will have a great effect on how we'll be able to move on to the full abolishment of capital controls."
The process is the second step of the first phase in easing controls. The first step had allowed investors, via foreign currency auctions, to place kronur in long-term government bonds. The second step broadens the terms to allow investors to place their kronur in assets such as equities and real estate. The bank isn't progressing according to a timetable, and announces each step once the economic and financial conditions are in place.
"How many weeks" it takes before the currency auctions start "and whether it will be less than a month or more than a month is hard to say," Gudmundsson said. "There are no guarantees that this will take place before Christmas, and if not, then hopefully we'll be able to have a strong beginning in 2012."

The Shuman Law Firm Investigates Assisted Living Concepts, Inc.
The Shuman Law Firm announces that it is investigating potential claims against certain officers and directors of Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. ("ALC" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: ALC). ALC operates senior living residences in the United States.
The firm's investigation concerns whether ALC overstated rental rates by improperly treating units leased to employees as bona fide residents in order to comply with minimum occupancy requirements imposed by its landlord for certain properties. The Company also publicly disclosed that the SEC was investigating, among other things, ALC's compliance with its occupancy covenants. The firm's investigation also seeks information relating to the Company's recently settled lawsuit brought by one of ALC's landlords for $19.5 million and ongoing litigation between ALC and the Company's former Chief Executive Officer.
If you currently own ALC common stock and are interested in discussing your rights as a shareholder, or have information relating to this investigation, please contact Kip B. Shuman or Rusty E. Glenn toll free at (866) 974-8626 or email Mr. Shuman at email@example.com or email Mr. Glenn at email@example.com.

"I love cranberries, so when Ina made this on a recent episode I was excited to try it. I used an 11" deep dish. When I mixed the cranberries and chopped apples together, I thought the balance didn't look right, so I removed a quarter cup of the cranberries. The only other change I made was to use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream because I did""


text: I am new to the forum and Ive been searching around alot and can't seem to find an exact answer to my question. I just recieved a 2009 tacoma double cab trd off-road 4x4 for my birthday and I have narrowed my choices of leveling options to two kits. Between the daystar 2.5" lift and Bilsteins cranked to 2.5" which is the best choice? Pros and Cons of both? And also will modifying the truck by leveling it void the warranty?

Re: Is there a better chemical to use as an anti-foaming agent?1 May 2009 at 1:29pm
Defoaming is compound specific. It's as much a black art as science, and specific compounds work better on some foaming problems than others. The reasons are often too complex and too detailed to explain here.
The Polydimethylsiloxane defoamer is essentially a hydrophobic absorbing compound. The hydrophobic absorbing property makes it effective as a defoamer.
The challenge will be finding the right compound that is effective at the desired rates.
There are a couple of things I might try. First is to introduce solids into the tank prior to final rinse. Something with a high surface area, might help absorb some of the PVA and reduce the foaming potential of the fluid. I'd start with something like sawdust, and then switch over to something like sodium silicates, as trials. You might also want to check the pH and see if the pH, especially lower pH has any effect on the ability of the compounds to foam. I suspect that it might.
I believe that calling in other chemical suppliers might help. It sounds like one company's compounds might be more effective than another company's compounds. Contact the local polymer sales representative and have him or her send you some samples, then test it out in the laboratory to confirm results before going full scale.

Kularatne, M. (1993) Some Aspects Of The Biology Of Lernaea Gonionoti Sp.Nov (Crustacea: Copepoda) And L. Cyprinacea Linnaeus In Puntius Gonionotus (Bleeker). Masters thesis, Universiti Pertanian Malaysia.
Lernaea is among the most important crustacean parasites of freshwater fish which poses a serious threat to Malaysian aquaculture . An outbreak of lernaeosis occurred in a manmade lake in the Shah Alam recreational park in Selangor Darul Ehsan , West Malaysia during early 1991 and caused severe mortalities of Javanese carp ( Puntius gonionotus ) , locally known as Lampam Jawa . The parasite involved was identified as a new lernaeid species specific to P.gonionotus and named as Lernaea gonionoti sp. nov . It was found that L. gonionoti sp . nov . can be differentiated from other known Malaysian lernaeid parasites during their early life , using certain larval morphometrics , especially the body length . However , on P.gonionotus , L . cyprinacea and L . gonionoti sp . nov . have a similar duration for their early life stages.

Christians and Anti-LGBT Discrimination
Could someone please cite what marriage equality activist ever insisted marriage wouldn't affect anyone? Because it never happened! No one ever suggested such a thing! What marriage equality activists said then and now, is that allowing same-sex couples the ability to protect their relationships as and their families with civil marriage wouldn't harm any heterosexual marriage. That's a really big difference.

poultry workers
Tag archives for poultry workers
USDA continues to insist that worker safety concerns are OSHA's responsibility, even in the face of overwhelming evidence that its proposed rule to "modernize" poultry slaughter inspection with dizzying line speeds will injure workers.
Senator Gillibrand's "Safe Meat & Poultry Act" includes one short provision that really caught my eye. USDA would need to rely on OSHA's determination on what is an appropriate line speed to ensure the health of plant workers is protected.
A fire in a Chinese poultry plant with narrow halls and locked exits killed 120 workers; a NIOSH study finds high rates of carpal tunnel syndrome among poultry workers and fuels concerns that USDA's proposed rule allowing line-speed increases will increase health risks to workers; and Congress takes steps toward addressing military sexual assault.
Will Tom Vilsack's USDA keep its promise to poultry plant workers about their grueling, disabling work?
The USDA Secretary tells Congress that his agency still plans to implement a new poultry slaughter inspection system that will allow producers to drastically increase line speeds, while a disturbing new report on poultry workers in Alabama explain the harmful effects of the current working conditions.
The Southern Poverty Law Center and Alabama Appleseed interviewed 300 Alabama poultry workers, and find that many have musculoskeletal problems linked to fast-moving processing lines. That problem could get even worse if a proposed USDA poultry rule to increase maximum line speeds takes effect.
Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis resigns; Walmart faces concerns about poor safety in warehouses and factories supplying its products; and Campylobacter infections in poultry-plant workers are more common among new employees and those working in certain jobs.
McClatchy Newspapers' reporter Lindsay Wise reports in two new articles on a proposed USDA rule to allegedly "modernize" the poultry inspection process. USDA and the poultry industry are having a love fest over the proposal, but food safety and workers' safety advocates oppose the rule. The White House will soon be deciding the rule's fate.
The nation's largest Hispanic civil rights organization issued an action alert to its members urging them to tell USDA Secretary Vilsack to withdraw a proposed rule that would allow poultry plant operators to increase assembly line speeds to 175 birds per minute. The majority of employees in poultry processing are Hispanic or other vulnerable workers.
USDA gives us 30 more days to tell it why 175 birds-per-minute line speeds will take a toll on poultry workers
Gabriel Thompson writes today in The Nation about a summer job he had a few years back, working on the assembly line at a Pilgrim's Pride poultry plant in Alabama. The chickens flew by on hooks at 90 birds-per-minute as he sliced and cut the meat non-stop. It didn't take long for him to meet…

FORT RILEY, Kan. – Stedman Graham, the chairman and chief executive officer of Stedman Graham and Associates, will be the featured speaker at the Martin Luther King Jr. observance at 11:45 a.m. Jan. 14 at Riley's Conference Center. Graham overseas a Chicago-based corporation and marketing firm.
The observance, hosted by the 1st Infantry Division Equal Opportunity Office, will celebrate the life and times of King.
The theme for this year's observance is "Remember, Celebrate, Act; a Day on, not a Day off." Graham is the author of two books, "You Can Make it Happen, a Nine-Step Plan for Success" and "Teens Can Make it Happen, Nine Steps to Success," said Sgt. 1st Class Reginald Lucas, 1st Inf. Div. EO noncommissioned officer in charge.
King was a civil rights activist who died fighting for justice and freedom for all. President Ronald Reagan designated Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a federal holiday in 1986, but King's birthday actually had been recognized by his hometown of Atlanta as a holiday since 1983.
The observance is free and open to the public. Soldiers, civilians and Family members are encouraged to attend.

CBS (ended 2011)
We now know it has been renewed, but now we need to know WHEN it will be aired and how often and how many episodes ???
Been following this since the series started, its great watching the kids grow up and develop, Ariel is going to be a VERY pretty lady when she is older, I really hope she can maintain the innocence she portrays and not get involved with the usual drug scene and getting really rubbish shows
Bridgette comes over as a real character, its a shame she doesnt get more (the same with Marie) airtime, and she seems the tomboy type, but that never really gets shown
The problem Marie had taking things, I had many years ago with my daughter, she just couldnt fathom this right from wrong thing for a while (its a good thing UK shop keepers and store owners are a bit more lenient in the UK)
Fantastic show, hope it runs for a long time (at a risk of the cast being type cast)

Rise and Adcock now rank second and third nationally in the decathlon.
April 15, 2010
Mt. SAC Combined Event Results
Kansas Relays Results
AZUSA, Calif. - After finishing day one of the Mt. SAC Combined Events in first and second place in the men's decathlon, Tiger All-Americans Lars Rise (Trondheim, Norway) and Nick Adcock (Kansas City, Mo.) finished the competition occupying the same positions. Rise won the decathlon with a point total of 7,693 while Adcock finished just behind him in second place overall with 7,672 points, a personal-best point total. The pair now ranks second and third, respectively, in the nation in the men's decathlon this season.
After totaling 4,061 on day one Wednesday, Rise opened Thursday's competition by clocking in at 15.20 in the 110m hurdles to add 825 points to his total. He then threw 36.76m (120-7) in the discus for 599 points and turned in a javelin throw of 59.86m (196-5), a personal-best in the event. That mark added 736 points to his overall total. He closed the day by clearing 4.50m (14-9) in the pole vault and clocking in at 4:35.09 in the 1,500m run to combine for 1,472 points. In all, Rise set four personal-bests in the competition.
Adcock totaled 4,004 points on Wednesday and catapulted into first place after Thursday's first event with a 14.19 clocking in the 110m hurdles, winning the event and earning him 950 points in the overall competition. He continued to lead after throwing 37.28m (122-4) in the discus and clearing 4.70m (15-5) in the pole vault. Adcock was passed by Rise in the javelin throw as Adcock threw 49.02m (161-5), earning him 577 points, 159 less than what Rise earned in the event. Adcock came back to run 4:34.80 in the 1,500m run to close his day adding 713 points to his total of 7,672, just 21 shy of Rise. His mark was also a decathlon personal-best.
Tiger senior Lauren Begany (Fenton, Mich.) also competed at Mt. SAC on Thursday, finishing the women's heptathlon with 4,383 points. Her top mark on the day came in the long jump as she measured in at 5.43m (17-9 ¾).
Mizzou also had several student-athletes compete at the Kansas Relays on Thursday, while the bulk of the team will start competition at KU tomorrow. Junior Chris Holly (Topeka, Kan.) returned to his home state in style on Thursday and finished in third place in the hammer throw with a personal-best toss of 61.42m (201-6); he was the second-best collegiate athlete in the event as former Tiger Jason Morris placed second while competing unattached. Tim Opfer (Higginsville, Mo.) also competed in the hammer throw at KU, finishing 16th overall with a throw of 49.52m (162-6).
Melissa Coil (Clark, Mo.) competed in the hammer for the Tiger women and she was the top placer for the Tigers after turning in a throw of 51.70m (169-7) to finish 10th overall. Former Tiger All-American and current volunteer assistant coach Krishna Lee placed second in the event after throwing 60.45m (198-4).
Jessica Armstrong (Dorr, Mich.) ran in the women's 5,000m run and finished 14th overall after clocking in at 18:32.63 to round out the Tigers' day at the KU Relays. Mizzou will begin action tomorrow morning at 11:30 a.m. at the Kansas Relays. For a complete recap of the action from tomorrow's meet, be sure to keep it tuned to MUTigers.com.

Deswell Announces First Quarter 2013 Results
The Company's financial position remained strong at the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, with $33.5 million in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2012, compared to $33.1 million at June 30, 2011.

We believe we will be able to capitalize on some opportunities currently under development to drive improved revenue during the coming quarters.

"I would definitely recommend this card. The quality was great, the size was perfect. I was very pleased with my purchase. I would recommend that you pay the extra to have your card proof read before printing. I was very confident that there were no mistakes on the card so I decided to skip the proof read option. When I received my cards I was shocked to see two very significant errors. Lesson learned! Frugality doesn't pay off :) They have the proof read option for a reason :) I sent the cards out with the errors and still received many compliments. Beautiful card. I will order again!"
"Although the card is gorgeous and the quality is outstanding when I ordered the card even though I checked for a designer review I received my card and noticed a misspelled word. Granted, I missed it, but so did they. I won't check the designer box anymore because it really doesn't do any good. Disappointed in the customer service/designer review."
"Easy to use the site and delivery was well ahead of expected timeline. I did replace the studio picture with one of my own but it was well rendered by Tiny Prints. Doing it again and listening to wife's advice, I would omit the "Thank You" and make the card more generic for multiple occasion usage in addition to simply thanks."
"We ordered these cards as Thank You's to all our wedding guests and they exceeded my expectations. The quality of the picture is amazing, and the paper quality as well. They feel and look as though I should have paid twice what I did. The designer responded promptly to my requests, and we are thrilled with the finished product."
"Loved this style of card! I used as a thank you note, so the size of the card worked perfectly. The paper was of excellent quality. Highly recommend this product."

Don't head down to the hotel pool without the RVCA Men's Pop Panel II Board Short. For starters, heading to the pool without shorts will surely land you in a cell, where you'll be passed around like a Thanksgiving turkey and treated much less kindly. Secondly, the polyester fabric and swanky look keeps you comfortable while catching the eye of the resident beauty. The 21-inch outseam gives you the confidence to approach her without feeling ashamed of your pale and emaciated thighs, and the back pocket stashes her room number for an evening rendezvous.

How often do you clean your windows inside and out? Do you use Windex or something else?

Uhm, never? LOL
I'll clean the door window (and really any other window) when it's dirty looking — from kiddos, dogs, etc. We don't clean the outside at all. But our windows get hit with rain all the time so they aren't dirty. The only one I do have to throw the hose on is the one that is behind some trees.
