Schiller Park Guesthouse is a new addition to the Vivas Guesthouse portfolio. This property was just renovated and features modern artistic fun decor, a remodeled bathroom, an outdoor space to relax in, living and dining room and fully stocked kitchen. A perfect home away from home.
I am a Venezuelan adopted by Columbus, which I proudly call my second hometown.
I have traveled the world extensively and my best experiences always came from small places owned and managed by people who really cared; not only about their business and their guests but also their community. With Vivas Guesthouse, I have the opportunity to make a difference to those who visit this great city and to the German Village neighborhood.
I am apart of this community; an ambassador who is eager to share my knowledge with others so they can understand why Columbus is so great! I can suggest what to see, where to eat or even cook for you myself. I am here to ensure your stay is wonderful.
I have dedicated my career to hospitality; worked for years in hotels and restaurants and wanted to get away from the cookie cutter. A destination like Vivas Guesthouse will save you from having to feel like a stranger occupying one of the hundreds of identical rooms. Vivas Guesthouse is a boutique destination that feels like home. You can use one of the many bikes to explore the neighborhood, stay in the master suite that I built with my own hands, and even cook a meal in the fully equipped kitchen. Or even better, have me cook that meal for you. I hope you enjoy your stay.
Warmest Regards,
Roger Vivas
Roger Vivas purchased this townhome in 2006
The coolest space I found in town
A true beautiful historic space with old time details updated with a clean modern design.
Our stay at the Vivas Guesthouse was excellent. The property is conveniently located in a beautiful neighborhood just steps away from Schiller Park and several other German Village gems. The property is beautiful decorated. We were well equipped for cooking and more. We'd definitely stay again.
This house is very well thought out; with a beautiful decoration and offering everything we needed. Free wifi, cable, outdoor space. Not to mention the location; we LOVED German Village.
This place is a MUST and with an amazing host!
We drove all the way from NJ overnight and arrived at 430am. Our host had no problem with us checking in that late. The lock on the door was a little tricky but we figured it out. The shower was big enough for two😉 and had great water pressure. The whole house was immaculate! We had such a lovely stay, and it gave us a real feel for our move to Columbus in July! I highly recommend staying here. Well worth it!!
We found the home to be exactly as described, in a GREAT area, close to everything we needed!! The owner was extremely pleasant, very accessible & responded quickly - what more can you ask for when you are looking for a rental in Columbus for your family?!! - Very pleased & highly recommend to all. Thanks!!
Beds are memory foam and fluffy and comfy. Great clawfoot tub. Newer kitchen and big microwave. Didnt try the tv. Great location within walking distance of many things. Loved it.
Excellent experience! Location was ideal. Close to downtown but in its own great area. The house was spotless and perfect for our families. Roger was wonderful, very accommodating and accessible. Can't recommend this house enough!
This lovely, comfortable house was perfect for us while staying in Columbus visiting friends. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking, the bathroom was clean and modern, all three bedrooms had nice beds and plenty of space for us to keep our things organized during our stay. In a world of over promising and under-delivering, this place is the real deal.
Rates may vary based on number of guests and time of the year*
This inviting and relaxing home is located in historic german village, steps away from gorgeous schiller park; a quiet, friendly neighborhood that is listed on the national register of historic places and was recognized as a preserve america community. Located just south of downtown, you will enjoy strolling through the brick streets looking at the beautiful homes and gardens throughout the neighborhood. Walk to popular fine dining at g. Michaels or barcelona or stroll down third street and visit the original max and erma's! Get a taste of germany at juergan's bavarian bakery or schmidt's sausage haus, and don't forget the cream puff! There are many other great restaurants in the area to sample, too many to mention! Set time aside to wander through the 32 rooms at the bookloft then head to schiller park for shakespeare summer theater. If you leave german village during your stay you will want to check out the brewery district, the arena district and the short north.
We are approximately 1 mile to both children's hospital and grant hospital, 1 and 1/2 miles from the theater district and the state house, 3 miles to capital university, 5 miles to the ohio state university, and walking distance to schiller park and countless restaurants and attractions!

J.L.N. Medical College, Ajmer, India
Prevalence of paediatric TB reflects health awareness and efficacy of national program, it is constantly increasing in India. The aim of study was to determine the prevalence of TB among children (<8 year) exposed to sputum positive adult & find out relation of TB prevalence with following variable; BCG status, nutritional and socio-economic-status (SES) and sputum positivity of index case & family size.
Selection of index case was done by history, radiology and sputum examination by ZN method. Screening of 100 children done by history, physical examination, MT with 5TU, radiological & blood investigation.
Children tested according to age group were: 0-1 year (n=14), 1-3 years (n=28), 3-5 years (n=24) and 5-8 years (n=34). Among these groups 50%, 42%, 37% & 8% children were affected respectively. Male : female ratio was 1.8 : 1. Majority of children were asymptomatic (67.7%). Among symptomatics (32.2%) chief symptom were fever (31.2%), cough (9.6%), nodular swelling on neck (13.9%). Chief signs were pallor (81%), cervical lymph-nodes, chest sign (12.9% each), hepatomegaly (64%) and splenomegaly (19%). ESR was significantly elevated in infected children. Radiological findings were: hilar lymph-nodes (64.5%), Primary progressive complex (15.1%) & normal CXR (17.1%).
Tuberculosis prevalence was 31% in such children & most was apparently asymptomatic. Factors significantly associated with increased risk of infection were; male-sex 0-3 years age low-SES, over crowding in home, sleeping in same room, sputum positivity of index case, if index case is mother/father and malnourishment. It was inversely related to BCG-vaccination status.
All the children in close contact with adult tuberculosis case must be screened thoroughly. Whenever we see a tuberculosis child, we should search for an adult case in the family. Promotion of institutional deliveries and BCG vaccination at birth along with improving nutritional status.
M. Vats, None.

Rumor: Nikon is releasing a clone of the Leica X1
So we've known that something was coming, but we weren't sure exactly what. We still don't know for certain what Nikon is up to on the 15th, but that whole is looking better and better. It's not a huge surprise really, since the new Leica's have really been in the news lately. Read More
Leica comes clean, announces the M9 and X1
Finally. It seems like there have been a dozen leaks about the Leica M9 and X1 the last couple of weeks, but they are finally announced. It's too bad that the leaks killed all the fun and announced everything already though. The new M9, which should be available this week, features a very similar body as the M8, but now rocks a 18MP full frame CCD sensor along new button placement for… Read More
Leica X1 details: fixed lens, cropped CMOS sensor
Looks like someone let some more Leica assets go live a bit early. The M9 had its own leak earlier today, and now some more details are out there, this time about the lower-end X1. I'm happy to say the leak exonerates me in my doubt of the previous leak, in which I thought the X1 looked janky. Read More
The Leica M9 leaks out early which is probably for the best
Leica has a big event scheduled for this Wednesday where the M9 was likely going to be announced. But it just so happens that Apple also has a presser booked for the same day, along with a bunch of companies at the audio video expo, CEDIA. So it's probably best for Leica that a Photography Bay tipster sent the site an official-looking brochure that lists all the specs of unannounced M9. Read More
The retrotastic Leica M9 and X1 get pictured, specs found
mmhmmm. Leica's got our number. That's for sure. We love ourselves some retro rangefinders and it looks like the next two Leica digicams will follow that style. These pics came from two Flickr pages that were eventually pulled. If the specs listed turn out to be correct, a lot of shutterbugs are going to max out their credit cards on day one. We'll probably find out… Read More

Leica à la carte lets you customize your M-series

Of course, there's no way to skimp and get a "bare bones" Leica for some special… Read More
Leica comments on haters complaining about the price of the S2
Leica is firing back over the criticism they've received lately about the price of their new flagship digital SLR, the S2. Internet pundits have rather, shall we say, catty about the price based on a rough glance at the specs, and Leica's VP of marketing says that's just not fair. Read More
Leica S2 gets priced and dated
Remember that Leica S2 we heard about the other day? It's kind of like a medium-format camera stuffed into a chubby SLR body, but since it's Leica, it works out better than it sounds. However, since it's Leica, it also costs a bundle — more than I guessed when the camera got previewed. I won't tease you with it, here it is: sixteen… hundred… times… Read More
Leica's S2 medium-format DSLR up close and personal
For those pros out there working in print, medium format is king. Portable yet powerful, they can be deployed anywhere. With large but not crowded sensors, they provide excellent sharpness and color fidelity with reasonable exposure times. Of course, they do cost upwards of twenty grand. Leica's S2 is an evolution of the medium format: a medium-format sensor in a DSLR body, a sort of… Read More
Review: Leica D-LUX 4
Leica has a stranglehold on the the hearts and minds of photographers everywhere. Even if the professionals call it a "dentist's camera," as in a camera that is popular with folks with too much money and not many photography chops, there's something about that little red dot that is as iconic as the black and white of a Speedmaster or the clean lines of a Ferrari GTO. Read More
Attack of the Hermès-branded Leica M8
Oh, look, another limited edition Leica that none of you will ever be able to afford. (I'll never afford one either, so don't despair.) It's the result of some sort of partnership between Leica and Hermès. (Fun fact: Hermès makes a cologne I use. I hope that gets picked up by Techmeme.) Read More
Is that a Leica D-Lux 4 Safari edition? Yes, yes it is.
Again, if I had any amount of money to my name, the first thing I'd buy would be a pair of alligator shoes. The second thing I'd buy? Probably a Leica, just because. But would I get this one, this "safari edition"? Not sure—that white one looks pretty mean. Or maybe I'd get a really old one! Read More
That special edition white Leica: Only $9,000 this June (in Japan)
As I just said in out little chat room, brought to you by Campfire, if I won the lotto, the first, and possibly only, tech thing I'd buy would be that special edition Leica. I'd have no idea how to properly use it, of course, but I'd be willing to fly out to Germany and have the Leica folks teach me how to use it. It would only cost me ¥880,000, or just shy of $9,000. Read More
White Leica M8 spotted in the wild
Better get a good look at this camera. You'll never ever own one. Not that we would endorse spending more than $10 large on a camera even if it's a special edition Leica M8. Oh, and the Audi R8 in the background is nice too. I'll take two of both please. One more pic after the jump. Read More

Sebastião Salgado Leica M7 up on eBay
Sebastião Salgado (time.com & Wikipedia) has photographed some of the world's most impoverished citizens. His photographs, while visually stunning, are often eye-opening for another reason. Perhaps by using cameras presented to him by Leica will improve your budding photography skills. Too bad the set is more expensive than a Tesla Roadster. Read More
Leica outs a special edition white M8 for ponzi schemers
Chances are that only a few of our peeps will be able to afford this sexy Leica M8. The price hasn't been announced just yet, but seeing as the recently released Safari edition cost 10 large and this camera will only be available in a very limited run, this boy will probably fetch a similar price. After all, someone has to support the union of handbuilding camera makers. Read More
Leica and Panasonic will not be sitting in a tree, have no intention to K-I-S-S
Rumor has it that Leica is considering selling off its low-end digicam business to Panasonic. Panasonic already OEMs Leica's point-and-shoot line so it makes a lot of sense but of course Leica is denying it. Read More
Rumor: Panasonic to buy part of Leica?
There's nothing solid on this yet, but there are murmurs (from respectable, if not necessarily reliable sources) that Panasonic may be girding its loins to buy itself some Leica. Perhaps not all of it, perhaps just a little bit, but they're definitely sniffing around. Given Leica's skill with glass and Panasonic's with consumer electronics, they might make a good team… Read More

Emu Plains is a historic suburb of Sydney, situated 58km west from the CBD. It lies on the western bank of the Nepean River, at the foot of the gorgeous Blue Mountains. Nearby are Castlereagh, Emu Heights, Glenbrook, Blaxland, Jamisontown, Leonay and Penrith. A government farm worked by convict labour existed on the site from 1819 to 1832, closing when the village was established. The Arms of Australia Inn, circa 1833, now houses the Nepean District Historical Society Museum; it and several other buildings are listed on the Local Government Heritage Register, including the original Gothic sandstone Post Office.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
They called me claiming to be part of my current company say they where changing my payment I told them that the payment i have is fine they said they are doing this for everyone that i had to do it. I live in MN and the compay is in CO. I have called them and they refuse saying they can't cancel my account with them. They do have the conversation recored but its only the ending after the lieing was done. they already took one payment and i would like my money back.
You can try filng a dispute of the charges with your credit card company (assuming that you used a credit card for the purchase) to get the recurring charge stopped. Also, try filing a complaint with the consumer protection arm of your state attorney general's office, and you could also contact local media to report this deceptive practice and see if any reporter or consumer ombudsman (with TV, radio, or newspaper) would be interested in following up. Even though the company is in another state, if it does business in your state your local authorities can get jurisdiction to act against the company in your location.
With situations such as yours, the offending company generally uses this type of technique with many people. If you complain and your authorities can find others in similar situations, the leverage of many dissatisfied customers can get results. In addition, since this is the type of scam generally directed against older adults, if you are above age 65 many states have rules that increase penalties for using deceptive practices with older adults.
Of course, as with all of my online answers, my advice is limited by the brevity of your question and the facts provided. Additional information would be required to provide definitive legal advice, so this answer isn't intended to, and does not, create an attorney-client relationship.

I enjoyed my stay at Lorraine's B&B very much. The room was nice, clean, good bed and everything very relaed and well organised. Breakfast excellent. Thanks, Lorraine.
I enjoyed my stay at Seaview Terrace and had a wonderful view from my bedroom. The bed and breakfast is in a nice area and there is a nice walk along the beach where there are lots of places to eat. Seaview is handy for travelling to the centre of Edinburgh and there is a bus every 10 minutes. Lorraine is a very attentive host and nothing is too much trouble. I found that being able to book my breakfast at a certain time very useful and so when my breakfast arrived it was hot and very tasty. I was very happy with my stay at Seaview Terrace and would like to recommend it to whoever reads this.
Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The room was very comfortable and the breakfast was delicious! Very high quality accommodation.
I had a lot of fun during my Holiday in Edinburgh, also thanks to the fact that Lorraine made me feel at home in her very beatiful house. I warmly recommend it to everyone wants to visit Edinburgh and, at the same time, stay close to a fabulous beach.
Lorraine is a bright and very helpfull host with a keen eye for interior detail. She really makes you feel at home. Nice room, good view. Thank you!
What a wonderful stay and a lovely host. Lorraine is a wonderful caring person and I can highly recommend her B&B!
Lorraine was very nice, helpfull and friendly. And her breakfast was very delicious.
I was welcomed by a nice lady and greeted every morning by great breakfast and a smile. Would recommend it to other people,thank you Lorraine
Sometimes 14 days are not enough. We enjoyed everything. We hope to come back one day. Lorraine is really a lovley person. Thank you for all thinks you've done for us.
The proprietor, Lorraine is awesome and very kind to me and my friend. We were greeted upon of our arrival and she explain to us everything about the house and show us our rooms. She also always there whenever we need something and she help us in our planning where to go and explore in Edinburgh. Besides, she also give out some suggestion on the best places to visit in Edinburgh. The room was clean and well taken care of while the toilet was clean and tidy. The best part of our stay was during breakfast, Lorraine serve us really well depending on our needs. We really enjoy her homemade french toast. I really recommended this place to whom who like the peaceful environment area and although its quite far from the city of Edinburgh, the location is very near to bus station so it is easy to catch a bus service which run rapidly in that location. lastly, for those who want to enjoy a beautiful beach of Portobello, the house is just 2 minutes walk away from the beach you can enjoy a good view of the beach from your room. Amazing! Overall, I really satisfied what Lorraine provide to us. Will probably return again if I were to visit Edinburgh next time.. Cheers!

New Delhi, Jan 17 (UNI) The Supreme Court today decided to examine the Presidential reference made under Article 317 of the Constitution of India against the Chairman of Chhattisgarh Public Service Commission (CPSC) Ashok Darbari facing allegations of bungling the examination and selection test conducted by CPSC.
A bench comprising Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan and Justices R V Raveendran and J M Panchal fixed February 1 for recording the evidence after Additional Advocate General of the state Jugal Kishore Gilda contended before the court that the allegations against Darbari were serious and the apex court cannot decline to hear a reference made by the President of India. He also added that this court must decide the reference this way or that way.
According to the state government Darbari, who was earlier the director general of police of the state, is facing allegations of bungling in CPSC examinations along with the charges of dictatorial attitude and misbehaviour with the employees of CPSC.

Religion in the 21st century
Expand Messages
- Major historical shifts are occurring as we enter the 21st century.
These shifts are comparable to earth quakes that turn asunder
established forms by violently shaking the earth---except that these
shifts do not begin in the observable world. These shifts begin
within mankind. They're shifts in consciousness, and they're
dynamically impacting the world of religion, how we view God and our
forms of public worship. The religious landscape of the 21st
century might be totally demolished if religion remains rigid and
inflexible to the revolutionary shifts occurring within 21st century
man. The entire religious landscape might vanish or it may evolve
and expand to accommodate new spiritual impulses---that or shrink
into outmoded forms. Currently we're seeing the fall of
Christianity throughout Western Europe; and as the churches empty,
the mosques are filling up. We're seeing the dramatic expansion of
Islam in the Middle East as far as Canada, South America and Paris,
France. At the same time we're seeing the born-again Christian
movement sink roots into the social-political fabric of America. In
America, as well as in Europe, entirely new, rejuvenated forms of
Western mysticism have blossomed in the fertile soil of religious
Religions are unique in that they're receptacles that condense and
codify spiritual impulses into concrete, discernable expression-
forms, i.e. religious rituals, religious art and religious
literature that allow us to collectively partake in the Spirit.
Religion provides society with mystics, saints and apostles capable
of hearing those epoch-making, apocalyptic trumpet blasts that
foretell the future. Will the 21st century religious landscape be
blessed with heavenly features, silver mountains, blue skies and
colorful alpine meadows, or will the apocalyptic trumpets harken a
parched, drought ridden landscape desperate for spiritual
Cultural pessimists like Oswald Spengler would say the ladder
possibility is the most likely outcome of the 21st century-and
Spengler could very well be right. Areas in the world are already
showing signs indicative of a Late Civilization evolving (or
devolving) toward a black unknown. What are these signs? Spengler,
if he were alive, might point toward widespread depopulation, or
increasing despotism, or he might point at primitive societies
thrusting up into highly civilized cultures; and he would be correct
on all accounts if he pointed at these signs as proofs to verify the
predictions he made in the early 20th century. Depopulation,
primitiveness of political forms, and rising immigrant populations
from third world nations, are symptoms of decline that might help
predict the state of religion in the 21st century.
Let's start with depopulation in Europe and Japan and the direct
impact it is having on religion. The UN's population report,
published in November 2004, show lowering fertility rates and
population declines in England, the Netherlands, Russia, Germany,
Italy, Japan, and Eastern block nations. The report was released by
the UN Population Division, and included predictions about the 21st
century concerning the dwindling number of children compared to the
massive ageing of the overall population.1 The Japanese government
considered the problem serious enough to spend Y1 trillion (L50
million) on programs designed to arrest depopulation. In the year
2000, the city of Ikeda and the Daihatsu automobile corporation
encouraged parents to have a fourth child by providing them with
automobiles for free for one year, plus Y200,000 (L1,000) for
residents.2 In Germany, depopulation is a serious problem, as
well. The birth rate in East Germany is the lowest in the world.3
1/3 of the population is above retirement age.4 Italy's numbers are
similar, having a birthrate of 1.3.5 That is, the average couple
produced 1.3 offspring-not enough to replenish the population.
The challenge governments faced in the 20th century was providing
enough jobs and opportunities for men and women of working age. In
the 21st century the tables turn. Now, the problem is the labor-
shortage economy and its lack of workers capable of paying federal
and social security taxes.6 One reason politicians allow their
nation to be flooded by illegal aliens is because immigrants are a
quick-fix solution to the labor-shortage problem. They pick apples
in Washington orchards, they till Kansas fields, and they work in
Texas slaughter houses, mow our lawns and paint our houses. On the
surface this may seem like a profitable exchange---using immigrants
as cheap labor---but illegal immigrants also take advantage of the
welfare system, bankrupt hospitals, vote illegally in elections, and
are filling up our penitentiaries in gross numbers.
Moderate levels of immigration, however, are beneficial to all
healthy societies. Immigrants add diversity, vitality and wisdom
from different lands. The danger occurs when immigrants enter the
nation in such massive levels that the indigenous culture is no
longer capable of integrating them into the main stream. The
immigrant, therefore, becomes a member of the nation's sub-culture-a
culture within a culture. This is precisely what is happening in
areas of Europe where there is no effort being made to regulate
immigration, and where Middle East and African Muslim populations
have developed their own semi-closed societies. There's a lack of
incentive for children of immigrants to learn local languages; and
there's a problematic lack of incentive to absorb European culture,
in general. For three consecutive generations European
intellectuals have obsessively downgraded and belittled "the West"---
and now, ironically, they have 20 million7 Muslims in their backyard
who share their anti-West sentiment.
The number of Muslims is doubling every ten years in Europe.
Consequently, Europe is undergoing Islamization at an alarming
rate. We could expect this trend to continue through the 21st
Public leaders brave enough to come forward on the issue face mortal
danger (Pym Fortune was murdered for speaking out) or the
assassination of their reputation by the European media.
Nonetheless, solutions to impede Islamization persist. An AP
article published in the San Francisco Gate Chronicle begins with
the title "EU officials implore new immigrants to learn `European
values'".8 On November 18, 2004, EU official and Dutch immigration
minister Rita Verdonk appealed to immigrants to learn local
languages and conduct themselves according to "European values."
Her statement and the statement from the EU Interior Ministry comes
after a Dutch Muslim immigrant of Moroccan descent brutally murdered
Theo van Gogh by slitting his throat, nearly decapitating the film
maker while he walked the streets. Theo van Gogh had just finished
completing a documentary exposing domestic abuse of women in Muslim
The Netherlands aren't much different from the rest of Europe in
that they've allowed overly generous immigration policies since the
1970s---and now suffer the consequences. At a time in history when
the Netherlands should be enjoying the calm, twilight comforts of a
well-ordered Late Civilization, instead they're battling complicated
sociological problems that involve balancing brotherly love with
cold-hearted realism. The fact is they're losing their culture when
there are "one million Muslims (6 percent of the population)"9 in
the Netherlands. In four major Dutch cities, there are more Muslim
children under the age of fourteen than Dutch children under
fourteen.10 Moreover, 30,000 additional Muslim immigrants arrive
annually into the Netherlands.11 In France, the numbers are
equally astounding. 8,000,000 Muslims turned France into
the "Palestine of the West,"; like the rest of Europe, Russia, Japan
and America, France faces depopulation of its indigenous
inhabitants. In 100 to 200 years Europe could very well be a Muslim
Spengler wisely reminds us that the streets of Roman cities were
nearly empty night and day during The Fall. The population
plummeted in Rome, not necessarily through war or famine, but
because of the symptoms of decline---low birth rates, over-civilized
urban centers, lack of industry---eventually robbing them of their
instinct for self preservation. In a sense, decadence led to Rome's
inability to protect their borders from foreign armies invading from
without, and civil rebellions destroying Rome from within. In the
last stages of civilization, robbed of spirit and vitality,
religious and artistic institutions fail to rejuvenate the Inner
Man, or are entirely non-existent. Artists are no longer capable of
producing great art or great symphonies. Instead they're forced to
imitate bygone traditions that no longer resonate in the soul, but
which the artist creates in order to achieve the effect of
nostalgia. His other option is primitive or archaic art, i.e.
primitive harmonies, insipid symbolism and abstraction, commercial
art, the best of which is created by the raw energies of youth.
But in death row there emerges a sudden Will to Power. Religious
institutions of the 21st century are reborn, according to Spengler,
in a new wave of Second Religiousness, which is a phase defined by
rigid fundamentalism. Second Religiousness gains popularity because
it aggressively resists the counter movement swinging into decadence
and immorality. Old, shriveled cultures harden into degenerate
civilizations polarized by extremes, with a liberal wing unable to
control its lower impulses and a religious wing that lacks the
spiritual wealth to heal souls and comfort the sick. Instead of
aligning the individual with the spirit, Wasteland religions
alienate the Spirit by depriving the individual of holiness. The
EGO shrivels ever more, sinking deeper into the Universal, EGO-less
ABYSS beloved by all declining civilizations.
21st religion must be willing to resist the symptoms of a World
Civilization collectively suffering the effects of decline. A
symptom of a Late Civilization is materialism-lack of Spirit.
Without spirit, cultures shrivel and die. They harden into
cultureless civilizations that no longer offer spiritual
nourishment; without spirit, neither through religion nor through
art, the culture is incapable of providing appropriate expression
forms. The individual is, without culture, an Outsider-estranged
and alienated by his environment.
Progress can be made---even in dying cultures. But, more often than
not, progress in dying cultures is not toward "the individual" and
his evolvement, but in the opposite direction, away: toward the
human-less, toward that which is beyond culture, beyond religion,
beyond art and spiritual science, beyond anything that exists in
order to increase the individual's humanity. The Late Culture
faces frightening realities. For it is irrationally compelled in
its movement toward the premature universal state, toward monism in
religion and "globalism" in politics12.
In the direction toward the non-human lies the Cabbalistic idea of
the ABYSS, a state of formlessness that is un-codified and un-
condensed, irreligious and universal, assessable to all human beings
yet profoundly inhuman and non-individualized. The ABYSS is the
apocalyptic sea out of which rises the blasphemous creature
described in Rev. 13:1.13 This seven-headed, ten-horned beast is a
fantastic metaphor in the exciting, symbolic opera called the Book
of Revelations; but it may also have a material-physical component
that reverberates outside the mythological sphere. The Beast,
evangelists say, represents the actual governmental force that
controls and regulates religious/cultural life. Most intellectuals,
on the other hand, say the Beast is merely a poetic symbol that
should be interpreted metaphorically. Regardless who is right, the
psychological forces are present in our contemporary culture to save
the 21st century from the symptom of a Late Civilization. We can
either be defeated by the ABYSS or overthrow the ABYSS by battling
its monstrous creations that threaten to drag us down into the void
of self destruction.

Why are the so called 'born again christians' lumped in with muslims in this
article - any thoughts? I know they are, as a blanket-rule, considered
anti-intellectual, even 'stupid' - whether they are or not is another
argument - but why are they a 'problem'? Would you say atheism is better?

*Shooting the Breeze*Mature
The Bolter and the Blackstump Bushies herded their borrowed cattle through gullies and plains for another day and a half. The Bolter was becoming more and more vexed, even at some times irked, with these bushies. They were a rowdy lot, if they were clever this would pass the time, but they were not the sharpest pencils in the kitchen drawer. All they seemed to speak about were past dalliances, rapes, murders, thefts, pub brawls, pub crawls, and other pub related activities.
The Bolter really liked hats, he'd never known why. Perhaps it was because in his life, the people in charge had good hats. Or maybe because his father had never worn one. Whatever the reason he really liked hats. A week ago he was admiring the hat he wore now. It was a fine wide brim, a small feather in the band. It made him feel relaxed.
He looked out over the bushies as they made their way to the meeting point. No hats worth the effort to speak of. Except one, that belonged to the bushies leader. The papers talked about the Blackstump Bushrangers as though they were some kind of mindless rabble, with no discernable goal. Obviously killing everyone they meet as a general principal muddied the waters a bit.
But this man had a nice hat.
At the going down of the sun, the group made camp. They knocked up a makeshift paddock for their bovine friends and killed one for tucker. The bushies were all getting into their food and their ample liquor supply, while only The Bolter and the bloke with a nice hat ate in silence.
"Hay ma't', djew wun a tipple?" asked a lout who had bumped into The Bolter, offering him a bottle and a metal cup, slopping gently as the man tried to stand up straight.
"Not for me mate, thanks for the offer. More for yourself eh?" The Bolter said pleasantly, trying to get rid of the annoying bastard as quick as possible.
"Fahkiiin... Yew Hazint tuctched a drop sins wi pickd yew ap, av ya? Yew musd bi dri az a ded dingos donga!" He laughed at his clever remark and pushed the cup closer to The Bolter, spilling his rum onto The Bolter's damper.
"There we go, bush rum cake. Now fuck off kindly, would you mate?"
"No wun tawlks tew mi lyk zat!" the lout shouted. The camp went quiet, watching them, "I waz only offering yew a dink, you cockfaced, magpie footed, large arsed cunt." The lout dropped his bottle and went for his pistol.
The shot rang out through the clearing. Everyone was silent as the lout dropped to the ground, gurgling, his chest bubbling hot and sticky blood.
The Bolter stared around, looking for where the shot had come from, when one of the lout's mates decided to have a crack as well. He whipped out his brand-new single action army, and put himself to the test.
The bloke dropped like the sack of shit that he was. The Bolter felt elated. His first gun fight and he came up roses.
"That's quite enough you lot. Back to your drinks!" Their leader, the man with the nice hat, roared.
Meekly the group, who were all looking confused and murderous returned to chatting.
Nice Hat walked slowly over to where The Bolter was sitting, checking his pistol and spinning the chamber.
"You're pretty good with that there iron," said the man in an odd accent.
"Ta. You shot this one?" The Bolter said kicking the lout in the face. He wasn't dead yet, blood gently steaming in the cool night.
"Yup." He spat on the man then put him out of his misery. The mist hung lazily in the air, bits of bone flying in every direction as the man's face was turned to slop, nose caved in like a dunny in a gale.
"What's your name, stranger?" asked Nice Hat taking a seat next to The Bolter, moaning under his breath as he lowered himself to the log.
"Don't have one," The Bolter replied tersely.
"Everyone has a name, son."
"I'm fairly forgetful," The Bolter blew his cheeks out, "I'd lose my toes if they weren't glued to my feet."
"Where'd you lose it?"
"If I knew that it wouldn't be lost would it?"
Nice Hat laughed, "Ain't that always the way? Herschel," he said offering a calloused hand, attached to a scarred arm. The laugh showed a few teeth missing.
"A pleasure, Hershy" The Bolter said taking the hand. The two squeezed firmly, The Bolter's many years working with wood and iron had given him an extraordinarily tight grip, but Herschel crushed it in his paw.

HK Art 09
Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre
Today to May 17
It may still be the new kid on the block, but the two-year-old Hong Kong International Art Fair is fast establishing itself as a major event for art dealers and collectors in and outside the region. This year, despite the economic downturn, HK Art 09 promises to be bigger, with more than 110 galleries from 24 countries taking part, featuring an array of local and overseas artists, such as Simon Birch, Wilson Shieh, Konstantin Bessmertny (whose work at right is being shown), and Damien Hirst.
Participating galleries will include New York's Gagosian Gallery, Tokyo's Tomio Koyama Gallery, Beijing's Red Gate Gallery, London's White Cube and local names such as Amelia Johnson Contemporary, Kwai Fung Hin Art Gallery and Anna Ning Fine Art.
But there's more to HK Art 09 than buying and selling. A range of cultural events will take place over the next three days at the Convention and Exhibition Centre, making the fair as relevant to the community at large as it is to art dealers and collectors.
The Asia Art Archive is the official educational partner of the fair and will be organising a free programme called Backroom Conversations, featuring screenings and panel discussions. One highlight will be tomorrow's panel discussion on reinventing contemporary Chinese Art.
Speakers will include Johnson Chang Tsong-zung, owner of Hanart TZ Gallery, Hu Fang, director of Vitamin Creative Space, collector Uli Sigg and curator Pauline Yao. Together they will look at how the economic downturn is affecting the future development of that genre.
On Saturday, two panel discussions with a focus on the role of museums will be moderated by Charles Merewether of the art fair's advisory group and Vasif Kortun, director of Platform Garanti Contemporary Art Centre in Istanbul, who will be joined by artists Michael Lin and Rirkrit Tiravanija respectively.
To continue the archive's effort to raise public awareness of the importance of a museum in the West Kowloon Cultural District project, it has been calling on the community to build a collection for its dream museum since last month. At the fair, the not-for-profit body will set up the Dream Museum Convenience Store, a follow up to last year's What is Your Dream Museum? project (left), to showcase a selection of responses in the form of written cards, photos and objects it has received so far.
The archive says it wishes 'to create an environment that the public can easily access'.
Another highlight of Art HK 09 will be tomorrow's debate, entitled Finders, Not Keepers! Cultural Treasures Belong in Their Country of Origin, organised by Intelligence? Asia and tackling the contentious issue of the rightful ownership, display and sale of historically significant artefacts.
Speaking for the motion will be entrepreneur and culture commentator Sir David Tang, newspaper columnist and chairman of Britain's National Trust Simon Jenkins and director of the Museum of London group Jack Lohman. On the other side are British archaeologist Lord Renfrew, author and journalist Peter Watson and Don Cohn, senior editor of Asia Art Pacific.
Tickets for Art HK 09, HK$200. Inquiries: 2918 8793. Tickets for Finders, Not Keepers! HK$300 including entry to HK Art 09. Inquiries: 3128 8288. Admission to Asia Art Archive's Backroom Conversions is free. Inquiries: 2815 1112

Combining romance, gothic horror, science fiction, and bloody action into a dazzling Anime production, VAMPIRE HUNTER D (2000) takes the vampire mythos to a new level. This movie is not a remake or a continuation of the 1985 movie of the same title. That movie was loosely based on the first of Kikuchi Hideyukis VAMPIRE HUNTER D books, set 10,000 years in the future. VAMPIRE HUNTER D (2000) takes its cue from the third book in the series, though there are significant deviations in plot. Here, the charismatic vampire, Meier Link, arrives in town in the middle of the night and spirits away a beautiful woman. D, the child of a human and a vampire, is hired to retrieve her. Racing against time and against another group of bounty hunters who were also contracted to perform the rescue, D fights a bizarre cast of Meiers henchmen, each of whom has his own unique and horrific way of killing. Both of the VAMPIRE HUNTER D films benefit from the participation of fantasy artist Yoshitaka Amano, whose character designs for both films drip with the eroticism and decadence of a Gustav Klimt painting. Director Yoshiaki Kawajiri adds his talent at dreaming up gruesome enemies, which was also evidenced in his previous work, NINJA SCROLL.

Making the transition from the rain forests of Oregon to the second driest state in the country has been quite the adventure. Utah is beautiful in a completely different way from the Pacific Northwest. There are the red deserts with ravens high above them; the aspen forests that flutter like wings; the long chains of mountains that catch the sun on their faces. Everywhere you look, in Salt Lake City, there are mountains, much gentler than the great peak of Mt. Hood, but still magnificent. I am still getting to know them, but that will come with time. I'm almost halfway through my two-year Environmental Humanities graduate program (hence the lack of blog posts the past few months!); another year to go, and another year to get to know this beautiful landscape!
The Shadows of Trees
They stretch long;
the wings of birds pulsed up in flight,
silhouettes positioned on rust,
orange as the backs of deer, sunlight quietly waiting.
All the Waters I Have Seen – Lake Superior
"Does it have a tide?" I asked.
"A very slight one."
"Are there ever any actual waves?"
"When you get out far enough."
"Do people swim in it?"
"Sometimes. Usually it's too cold."
"It doesn't smell like the ocean," I said, but they were skipping stones and had stopped listening. Too many questions, I guessed, but that was okay, because as they threw their stones in long gallops I gazed and gazed, entranced by the runny soup broth texture of the water.
"See—you can't even see the other side," my friend said as she whipped a stone across the surface. "And no wind. Every time I go to the Oregon coast I come back looking like a drowned rat or something."
Lake Superior was technically a freshwater sea, an inland sea, the relic of glaciers, so I'd expected it to be comparable to the ocean. There was nothing I could place that wasn't oceanic; it was enormous, and the water hushed and breathed. There was nothing about Superior that dwindled its sea-ness, except for the smell and something that was missing, something more than salt. I expected this to change, and I stared and I stared, but the longer I looked, the less like the ocean it became.
"It's really not much like the coast at all," I told my friend, and I threw a stone into the water.
All the Waters I Have Seen – The Colorado River
If I was upset when I was younger I would run to the trees. I would stare up at them and hope that they might know me. I would stare intensely, my whole neck tilted back, and I'd hold my body still so that when the wind came through I would feel like a mountain overlooking the sea, the clouds and the water and the tilt of the earth spinning around me, like I was the one steady thing in this world.
Far from my sea of ferns and cedars I found a greater steadiness. The desert is a place of slowed time. Ancientness is everywhere. As we perceive it, the ruins and petroglyphs speak of eternity; they are time capsules; they are symbols of both immortality and fragility.
All around are ancient seabeds, arroyos and washes, eroded cliffsides half-digested by rain. A millennia of changes, visible before my eyes, and yet from my place, from my senses and from all the shortened count of human time, this land has lived forever.
As I follow the cairns between sagebrush I am completely alone. At last the trail is empty. I stop, just briefly, and hold my breath. Nothing. Nothing at all. No wind, no tussle of blackbrush, no cries of ravens. No hiking boots, no hot breathing. For this moment I am underwater. I am in space.
I find water. The sun softens. I want to jump in and swim against the river currents, but I don't, because it is too close to sunset, and I don't want wet hair when the night grows cold. Instead I stare at the plumes of white and I try to imagine what the water might feel like as it tosses and pulls its way through faded colors—gray, blue, and sandy red—past the Grand Canyon, past cow pastures, past ancient time to some desert basin. This, the Colorado River, will not reach the sea as it once did. It is a dying river. For some reason this is what breaks my illusion, the spell of a desert afternoon; this is what sets the world in motion again. Maybe I am moving just the same as any of them, and there is no such thing as steadiness.
All the Waters I Have Seen – The Jordan River
I cannot reach you on foot; I cannot run to you on sunny days, or sit quietly on your banks. I will never know you well, but I doubt anyone does. I've heard little about you. It seems that you're not charismatic enough—nothing like the Colorado River, or the Green River. You aren't large or fast or striking in color. You are the equivalent of an old dog who sleeps all day. Sweet, placid—easy to ignore. But you are also an oasis in a nearly waterless land, and I don't think you're cherished enough for it. Maybe this is because you reside on the west side of town, the poorer side, the place of industrial plumes and coal trains. Here, there are signs in Spanish and homeless people on sidewalks. Here, the buildings are blocky and ugly, utilitarian, made to store commodities and to please no one. Maybe I'm harsh to judge, but I think you're the most beautiful thing in this part of town. And you and this whole area could be valued if you were only noticed. Maybe someday they'll see what an asset you are, and they will sit on your shores and gaze lovingly at your slow, green water. Until then, I will be the one who notices, all the way from the other side of town.
All the Waters I Have Seen – Wind River
I woke in the morning to snow. On the way in we'd hiked after dusk, so I hadn't seen the river yet, nor the mountains on either side. Throughout the day they revealed themselves, coolly, like the moon rising above the horizon. They were blue, and in some places flat on top, like forbidden towers. As much as I disliked the idea, there was, indeed, something sublime about them. They seemed untouchable, impossible; the realm of starlight and feathers.
As the fog cleared the snow began to melt, and we ventured out of our tents. This was a group backpacking trip, school-sponsored, and we spent the day marching on mudded pathways. Our boots made crisp, leaf-crunch noises over the frost. This kept us warm but there was always that wind, there, which burst over us at random openings between spruces. With great joy I surveyed the plants, plucking gooseberries, chokecherries, currants, and the last, shriveled raspberries of the year.
At lunchtime we crouched by the river to fill our water bottles. When I held mine to the light I could see all the hairs of moss, all the splinter-thin leaf veins that I'd captured along with the water. I purified it with a UV stick. My fingers numbed through the aluminum; through my gloves.
By nightfall the frost and the fog had returned. I huddled carefully within my tent. True darkness. Then, sometime in the deep of night, I heard a long weee-ahhh, a great, sharp whistling yell from across the river. The first thought that came to my mind was a bugling elk. I'd never heard an elk, nor was I sure what bugling was, but I just had that feeling about it. Later I looked it up, and I was right; it was an elk, a male urging forth the rut, establishing his own form of elk sublimity. This was a sound that reminded me there were not just elk out there, but bears, and mountain lions. There was something about it that was far more river than mountain—far more tangible, even in all this cloth-darkness, yet still foreign enough to give me chills, to make me feel a startled sort of awe. This was a sweeping place. The sharp-metal sound of the elk was not small, but it was for some reason comforting. Obviously I was not alone here, in my backpacking group, but it was good to know that I wasn't alone out there, either, in this land of snow and mountain and elk, and I soon fell asleep to the great confluence, and all that it echoed.
All the Waters I Have Seen – Willow Heights
We hear the clearing before we see it. A parting of winds, a pause in the flickering. We emerge from the flame-trees. Our faces are painted yellow in the light. Flames burning underwater; flames that carry no heat; that is the way of the aspen trees.
From the meadow we see the ski resort across the canyon. In the snowless months it is a wound, a bald spot that is made more unsightly by those metal towers that beam, useless, in the sun. We turn our backs to it and continue uphill, through the grass, past elderberry bushes and what might be wild licorice. What I want most is to see a moose. I've never seen one. Today is no different; we have seen no moose, but we did hear a raven somewhere off to the east.
The path becomes mud in low-lying spots, and that's how I know the lake is near. We turn a corner and there it is—small, still, rimmed by shrubby willows. Behind this we see the mile of aspens we've just walked through. From here they are an undulating summer curtain, or perhaps a kite, and despite their fall colors I feel as though it's summer.
We sit on the bare sand beside the lake. The water-wind chills us, but we do not move. The sun is on our faces. Our breathing becomes low and flat. The aspens shhh in the distance. Time recedes and we lapse in to water-induced meditation, softer and softer, until we are as smooth as the surface before us.
All the Waters I Have Seen – Red Rock Lake
Memory. Hill and wind unfold at once. Sagebrush. Lodge pole pine. Pronghorn antelope. They run as ghosts at dawn, blurred like distant rain, the echo of clouds that shift over the horizon as though they have deflated, are deflating, ghost-clouds reaching some thicket, some lakeshore, the backs of deer, a rain-world intangible here by the water; brushstrokes.
I've missed the water. My new desert home is nothing like this. I've not seen a river since I left Oregon; I've not seen a lake since I drove past the Great Salt Lake on the move over—car full of boxes, the water only slightly visible from the highway and just beginning to shiver with sunset.
Here in Montana I feel as though I am walking on a mirrored sky. Even the non-reflecting grasses hold clouds in their vastness. The lake is distinctly oceanless. It is tied to nothing, unlike the rivers at home, which flow to the sea, the Pacific, whose fogged closeness I used to smell in southwestern winds. Now I smell the alpine, some northward basin wind that speaks of steppes and mountains converging.
I used to walk with my dog down our neighborhood streets. It was only a short walk to the water. "Come on, Ginger," I would tell her, and we would run for a moment, "let's go see the river," and she would pant, and we would slow down, and after a time we would see the green, slow-moving Willamette, which in my mind was always simply the river. I felt some pride in calling it that, rather than by its full name. It meant I knew it well. It was simply the river, River, as central to my lifeworld as the moon or the sun or the wind.
This lake is a guest in my world. I do not know it, nor will I, since I'm only here for a few days. I am like the trumpeter swans, the great blue herons, the ibises. I am like the antelope, silent, and moving, and reverent; destined for dry places, made of memories—made of water.
All the Waters I Have Seen – Sugarhouse Pond
This is the gathering place.
Down below, a blanket, a fur like the unhealthy coating on a tongue. Amorphous—the emerald of rotting things. No one would dare wade through these waters. From a distance there is nothing beneath. Under the glint of blue-sprawled sky, it is only water. The geese find it clean enough. They don't mind the concrete sidings, or the brown stars of sediment that trace their way inkily through the shallows. With their long necks bowed, as snakes, as willow fronds, they wander on land where the sidewalk is slick with mud. To step past them necessitates a bow in return. The path winds past them, through them, to a grove of cottonwood trees, trunks grayed, porous. A creek runs here beneath a wooden bridge. It smells like river rocks, and the water is clear as melted ice. In a city where most of the creeks have been sacrificed, hidden underground to prevent flooding, it is a privilege to see uncaptured water, and to gather along its shores. No sounds besides water crinkle and distant car grumble. A magpie strings forth, an iridescent ribbon, gracile as the necks of the geese. He pecks at the sand above the clearness. For one moment he stands still, watching the water flow—a shining movement that is magnificent to both of us.
All the Waters I Have Seen – Red Butte Garden
We are walking in the sun, along the blue-green edges. I stop to hear the grass. Sedges and cattails speak a particular language, rushes another. Grasses are perhaps the most clear, but only when they are tall and seeded with knots of wisp. We listen for some time. We hear a sliding, an endless tunnel, as light is captured in the curled, flushed seeds. These are not native grasses. I linger while you pulse away, mud-stepping toward two ducks, whose soft, white feathers you prefer to tufts of grass. But my attention is graven. The grasses are still speaking. I hear in them the songs of trembling water; creekside echoes that are older than this pond. The water is still, in this afternoon sun, but the grasses shimmer. They do not belong here. I want to hate them for it, to step on them as you have done, but I cannot. They are still speaking, and I am here, listening to them bristle, and flock, and sing in the language that you have forgotten.
