Go to: Spirituality: It's only human
Jump to comment 17 by Seas of Bright Juice
The dictionary hasn't caught up to all the ways the word is used, then. In convert/western Buddhist circles, for instance -- where large numbers are quite secular in orientation -- "spiritual" often gestures towards something like, "that arena of concerns which have a transcendent or liberating effect on human life, such as insight into non-self, insight into impermanence, realization of compassion, etc." In this case it doesn't refer to a god or soul (which would be true also of traditionally religious Buddhists) or supernaturalism or the dogmas of an established church.
I'm sure we can't resolve CATEGORICALLY for or against using the word, in any case. If I'm in the company of people who know my views enough not to misunderstand, then "spiritual" is still the readiest word for gesturing quickly and broadly toward certain categories of experience and inquiry. If I'm speaking to people who are likely to misunderstand, I might want to carefully qualify my use of the word, or find other ways..

Go to: Spirituality: It's only human
Jump to comment 11 by Seas of Bright Juice
For the most part I heartily second everything Paula says. But I have a soft spot for reserving a special place for "spiritual" experience, albeit not a supernatural place. A quick and dirty distinction between spiritual well-being, in the sense I mean, and ordinary well-being (though there's no HARD boundary between the two), might run something like: spiritual well-being is substantially INDEPENDENT OF CONDITIONS -- conditions like success or failure, approval or censure, gain or loss, sickness or health, coffee or none. Also, spiritual experience (selon moi) is defined at least as much by the radical and more-than-verbal INSIGHT, the shift in perception or way of being, that LIBERATES good feeling, as it is by the good feeling itself.
The well-being provided by a glass of wine among loved ones is of one kind. It's rather a different variety of well-being that quietly suffuses everything when you dwell in nonreactivity to any thoughts and feelings -- perfectly open; letting them come and go vividly, but undetained by further elaboration.
Take another example of a radically different (though not distant) way of perceiving the world. Consider the well-being that makes itself felt when your whole phenomenal experience -- i.e. the whole WORLD of the present moment, as far as you're concerned -- feels equally intimately "me" or "not me": where there's no essential distinction between sensations and thoughts on the one hand -- "my body," "my mind" -- and external perceptions -- "the world," "other people" -- on the other. All are equally composed of one substance of knowingness, presence, awareness; with no inside or outside to it, no beholder and beheld, subject/object. No distance between the knower and the thing known or perceived.
Now mark me that this is an effortless and uncontrived way of perceiving -- merely the RELAXATION of the extra mental constructs that label things "me" and "not me." (With their attendant anxieties and machinations). As such, the commonsense distinctions that keep you out of the path of oncoming traffic can still operate just fine. But they needn't for a minute obscure the felt knowledge that all experience (tautologically, really!) is INSIDE or IS the flesh of your own awareness; nothing's alien.
This can become an easy and isntinctive feeling about the world, more instinctive than one's former ramshackle belief that oneself and the world were fundamentally separate. It can dissolve the hallucination of free will into a sensation of spontaneous action begun nowhere and everywhere. It can tremendously lower one's defenses and heighten one's appreciative response to others -- i.e., one's love. It can permit fluent, musical deep feeling for life, the odd tsunami of delicacy. It can even affectionately accommodate the humdrum, an ornery morning, tax season.
So that's my first attempt to articulate what's different about those perceptions which might be designated "spiritual" by e.g. Dzogchen practitioners, Advaita Vedantins, Rumi, Krishnamurti, Dogen Zenji. So yeah, by all means drive home that there's no necessary connection between subtle experience and belief in the unseen. But I submit that a well-being born of spacious intimacy with WHATEVER arises in awareness is different in kind from the more familiar well-being, born of a reaction to some particular transient object in the stream of awareness -- a glass of wine, a flirtatious smile.
Of course I wish there were a more precise word than "spiritual." But then too, I get a bit of a defiant thrill out of slumming with it. Spiritchool. Spiritchool.

Russia's WTO membership to help economic liberalization - Medvedev

Russia's admission to the World Trade Organization will facilitate the liberalization of trade and investment, President Dmitry Medvedev said on Thursday.
"I believe that the G20 countries need to show leadership and do all they can to expedite the liberalization of trade and investment," he told a G20 summit.
"I'm sure that Russia's long-overdue admission to the WTO could become a good contribution to a common cause."
That would benefit not only Russia, but also all of her partners, he added.
Medvedev said he hoped Russia would join the WTO before the end of the current year and that would be "good news."
Russia has endeavored to join the WTO since 1993. The last remaining obstacle to its admission is Georgia, which has refused to give Russia the go-ahead since the two countries fought a brief war in August 2008 when Georgia attacked South Ossetia to bring it back under Tbilisi's central control. After the war, Russia recognized the independence of South Ossetia and another ex-Georgian republic, Abkhazia.
Maxim Medvedkov, Russia's chief WTO negotiator, said on Wednesday Moscow has resolved all outstanding WTO related issues with Tbilisi, a claim promptly denied by Georgia.

Austal has won the contract to design and build the US Department of Defense's next generation multi-use platform, the Joint High Speed Vessel (JHSV), as part of a program potentially worth over US$1.6 billion.
As Prime contractor, Austal will design and construct the first 103-metre JHSV, with options for 9 additional vessels expected to be exercised between FY09 and FY13.
Similar to the Austal-built "WestPac Express" operated by the US Marines for the past seven years, the JHSV will be capable of transporting troops and their equipment, supporting humanitarian relief efforts, operating in shallow waters and reaching speeds in excess of 35 knots fully loaded. The vessels will be a joint-use platform operated by both the United States Army and Navy.
The vessels will be built at Austal's US shipyard located in Mobile, Alabama, where work is continuing on the first phase of a new Modular Manufacturing Facility (MMF). Upon completion in mid-2009, the first half of the 70,000 m2 MMF will be available for the fabrication of all JHSV modules.
Austal USA's 1000-strong workforce, which is currently completing the US Navy's 127 metre Littoral Combat Ship "Independence" (LCS 2), as well as a 113 metre high speed catamaran for Hawaii Superferry, will grow to more than 1500 as a result of the JHSV program.
"As demonstrated by the two Hawaii Superferry vessels recently constructed at our Mobile, Alabama facilities, our US shipyard has the capability to deliver large high speed advanced aluminium platforms on time and on budget - a capability which will be further enhanced upon completion of the MMF and the expansion of our US workforce," Mr Browning said.
Sea trials of the recently-christened "Independence" (LCS 2) are scheduled to commence early next year. Mr Browning said the US Navy's ongoing commitment to a 55-vessel LCS program, as part of its 313 ship fleet, meant there was strong chance Austal would be awarded a second LCS in early 2009.
Austal is teamed with General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems, who will design, integrate, and test the JHSV's electronic systems, including an Open Architecture Computing Infrastructure, internal and external communications, electronic navigation, aviation, and armament systems.

Therefore, it is classified in the sh4 ABI architecture. When the program for sh4a operates it on sh4, there is a problem, but reverse case not to have any problem.

Collaborating as Gang Clan Mafia since 2006, performance artists Dirk Adams and Vela Phelan create improvised, live visuals, and sound collages in dialogue with physical actions and alluring objects. Using found digital artifacts, their own bodies, field recordings and their eclectic collections as material, Gang Clan Mafia's dense agglomerations blur divisions between their tactile presence as performers and the digitally surreal. Like previous works, their June 14th performance was designed with its site in mind. ART-If-ACTS examines the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston as a guardian of many cultural treasures. The artists draw on images of the Museum's collection and ideologies specific to major arts institutions, and combine them with interviews they conducted with other Boston-area artists. As the title ART-If-ACTS suggests, an art object's value is determined by the knowledge invested in it – by its level of institutional recognition, and by the meanings that are layered onto it via its presentation in a Museum. Remixing digital versions of art objects in the place that houses them, ART-If-ACTS asks – Where and how do virtual materials cross into the realm of the real? Who determines the worth of an object and how is that worth declared? Does the value of an object decrease the more accessible it becomes to the public? Gang Clan Mafia animates an under-utilized space in the Museum, rethinking its real estate – both its physical and imaginary assets. (LM)

Caution, bad pine nuts = bitter taste in mouth
I thought I would caution people to be careful about the pine nuts they buy. I recently made a delicious rice salad to take for lunches to work. I love pine nuts and used a small container of them for the salad. When I opened up the package I noticed the pine nuts looked different. They were smaller, flatter and whiter compared to the big, rounder, shiny golden pine nuts I am used to using. I knew there were different kinds of pine nuts and did not think anything of it. Three days after eating the salad my partner developed a condition known as "Pine mouth". He developed an unpleasant strong bitter taste in his mouth that would not go away. It was freaking him out until he discovered what the problem was. It lasted over 5 days, during which everything he ate was bitter. I did not develop any symptoms at all. The symptoms of pine mouth can last for up to 2 weeks. It turns out the pine nuts I used are a particular kind of Chinese white pine nut that causes this. You can read more about pine mouth here:
Be careful to only buy the larger golden European pine nuts.
Not exactly news and very little additional science to supplement the trove of anecdotal reports.
Pine nuts have become fashionable over the last 5-10 years. They're always pricey, so don't usually turn over quickly as sellers tend to hang on to them. Small packages or bulk amounts in low traffic stores seem often to be the source of bad nuts. Again, because of price, people hang onto them at home.
Perhaps it's been dumb luck but I've never had problems Costco pinenuts sold in the Toronto area. FYI, they're Chinese, too.
I've stopped using pine nuts altogether - subbing almonds or walnuts, whichever is most appropriate, for everything. Had a bad case of pine mouth twice in the past 15 months, and I may be off pine nuts forever. Not worth the risk to me.
re: jeanmarieok
This has been going on for a few years now, but I new nothing of it. I DO NOW!. Not sure why something hasn't been done about it, probably because it isn't fatal, just very annoying. Our batch that caused the problem were bought that day in a sealed package ("Selection" brand made for Metro Brands and sold at Metro stores.) They are a product of China. They should be removed from the shelves, and treated seriously considering all the reporting that has been done over the past number of years.
re: dspence
I complained several times and sent e-mails to the market where I bought the pine nuts that gave my partner pine mouth but the last time I checked they still have not been pulled. Very surprising given that it's an ultra organic market and in the past they have discontinued items for what seemed like trivial reasons.
I haven't bought pine nuts in quite a while because of this. How do you know which ones are safe?
re: Isolda
I heard that most of the pine nuts in the states now are from Korea because they are cheaper. As I understand it Pine mouth is linked to Chinese and not Korean pine nuts. But I think that it is difficult to distinguish the Korean and Chinese nuts. I think the safest thing to do, aside from not eat pine nuts, is to only use the European nuts. These are easy to distinguish because they are larger, shinier and have more of a yellow golden hue. Wikipedia has pictures and descriptions of both:
re: Ridge
Pine mouth just happened to me. I posted on the WFD thread on Home Cooking about an "acrid" taste in my mouth, and rabaja kindly pointed out that pine nuts might be the issue, as I had had them in several meals, along with eating a few small handfuls just as-is.
Sure enough, I checked the package from Trader Joe's - the were sourced from Korea, Russia, and Vietnam. And in looking at the pictures on Wikipedia, these were *definitely* of the Korean shape. So into the trashbin went the rest of the bag. I'm hoping the pine mouth doesn't last much longer as I miss tasting food the way it's supposed to taste!
re: LindaWhit
I checked the bag I bought at Christmas (we used them as one of many ingredients in a romesco sauce that wasn't very popular- hmm?) and mine are also of the Korea, Russia, and Vietnam origin so I chucked the rest. Glad I found out before I wrecked a favorite couscous salad I like to bring to potlucks thanks!
re: Berheenia
You're welcome! I sent an Email to TJs today via their website. Will be interesting to see if I get a response. (Was *not* looking for a replacement - just gave them info on pine mouth and made the suggestion that they source them from Italy or the Mediterranean, even if it means a higher price overall).
Wow, this is new to me, and I love pine nuts. This, combined with the recent exhorbitant price increase will make me think twice (or three times). Thanks for the info.

SNL Presents a Hilarious 'Game of Thrones' Trivia Show
SNL has made fun of 'Game of Thrones' before, but with the third season of HBO's fantasy series reaching all time high ratings, it was certainly time for a revisit. However, the target this time isn't the show itself, but rather the fans. Check it out below.
SNL: Zach Galifianakis Kills With His Opening Monologue
Some SNL hosts just feel like they were born to be on that stage and Zach Galifiankis is one of them. Rather than do a traditional monologue, he performed six minutes of his oddball, avant garde stand-up comedy. It was a great reminder that he may be a big movie star now, but he's still one of the great modern comedians.
New 'Star Trek Into Darkness' TV Spot: "Earth Will Fall"
Perhaps the title was a pretty clear indication of what to expect, but 'Star Trek Into Darkness' looks a little bleak, huh? For a series that's been built on the concept of humanity standing together and bettering itself, it sure is odd to see the phrase "Earth will fall" in a newly released TV spot.
'Transformers 4′ Finds a Villain in Kelsey Grammer
Although 'Transformers 4' will undoubtedly have plenty of giant robots turning into cars and fighting each other, there will be no shortage of human interaction (i.e. screaming and yelling) between the scenes of carnage. At least we know that some of that screaming and yelling will be dignified and classy thanks to the casting of Kelsey Grammer as the film's human villain.
'Only God Forgives' Clips: Ryan Gosling and Kristin Scott Thomas Get NSFW
With 'Drive,' Ryan Gosling and director Nicolas Winding Refn creating a haunting and brutal crime flick for the ages. The duo look to recreate that magic with the upcoming 'Only God Forgives,' which moves the action to Thailand but maintains their last film's slick style and uncomfortable violence. Three incredibly NSFW clips from the film have arrived and it certainly looks like Refn and Gosling are bringing their A-game.
Ron Perlman Says 'Hellboy 3′ Must Happen
'Hellboy' and 'Hellboy II: The Golden Army' were only modest successes by the standards of superhero movies, grossing $99 million and and $160 million respectively, so the demand for a 'Hellboy 3' doesn't seem particularly high. However, according to Hellboy himself, Ron Perlman, a third film needs to happen.
'Transformers 4′ and 'Teenange Mutant Ninja Turtles' Updates From Michael Bay
Michael Bay's 'Pain and Gain' arrived in theaters this weekend, so naturally, everyone is asking him about 'Transformers 4' and 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.' Although both films don't arrive until 2014, Bay offered additional information about them that will possibly ease the jittery nerves of fanboys all over the world.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Pain and Gain' Leads a Slow Weekend
Some will call this a slow weekend, but it may be better to think of it as the calm before the storm. Next week, the summer movie season begins and people are saving their pennies for 'Iron Man 3,' so it's not really surprising that this was an uneventful couple of days at the multiplex. At least the folks behind 'Pain and Gain' can be glad that their film led an otherwise quiet weekend.
'Star Wars Episode 7′: How Secret Will the Production Be?
Director JJ Abrams is infamous for keeping details on his projects on the down low, so many people have already begun speculating what will go on with the production of 'Star Wars Episode 7.' If there's one thing we learned from watching the production of the prequel trilogy, it's that 'Star Wars' fans are as passionate as they are nosy and if there's one thing we've learned from 'Star Trek Into Darkness,' it's that Abrams plays things close to the vest. A recent interview with LucasFilm honcho Kathleen Kennedy shed some light on this whole situation.
'Iron Man 3′ Footage: Extremis Tech. Explained, Plus Tony's Got Some Stress Issues
Although it doesn't open in the United States for another week and change, 'Iron Man 3' has already started rolling out internationally, garnering its fair share of rave reviews. While some audiences are already getting the chance to see the whole movie, we simply have to sit back and play the waiting game. Well, at least the waiting game involves a new behind-the-scenes look and footage from the film!
Robert De Niro and Shia LaBeouf to Play Father and Son in 'Spy's Kid'
In the pantheon of odd cinematic fathers and sons, you don't get much stranger than Robert De Niro and Shia LaBeouf. Although it's difficult to imagine the two of them sharing any DNA, they're both attached to star in 'Spy's Kid,' which will tell the true story of a traitorous spy who used his son to continue his espionage from behind bars.
First Trailer and Poster For Keanu Reeves' 'Man of Tai Chi' are Here
After the 'Matrix' trilogy, Keanu Reeves became synonymous with stylized martial arts goodness, so it's no surprise that his directorial debut is all about tough men kicking the snot out of each other. The first trailer and poster for 'Man of Tai Chi' have arrived and if you're the kind of person who likes movies where shirtless men punch each other across rooms, you're going to want to check 'em out.

Keeping Them Little
Blogger: Consuming Parenthood, Bloomfield
I love seeing Emilia change and grow but it happens so rapidly. Sometimes it feels like it is happening too rapidly. For me, early motherhood has entailed this mixed bag of constant anticipation coupled with a nagging desire to slow down time. I want to savor every moment of her littleness and breathe her in each day. But I also want her to thrive. It's complicated I guess.
I knew I couldn't talk to my mom about this without sobbing like the sap that I am so I steeled myself as much as possible and said to my dad, "Is it hard to watch your children grow? In a way, don't you just want them (i.e. us) to be little forever?"

COWHERD: "shocking+irresponsible... good lord, y would the RED SOX pay such a ransom for LESTER?"
posted at 11/2/2013 1:28 PM EDT
see folks this would b an example of sensationalism and someone just pushing the needle for attention. questioning if papi is juicing is da total opposite.. thats real contrarianism esp when u invite his teammates and others to defend him. as a fan, i dont believe pap is juicing but as a journalist, i would b asking questions. no blindside if proved that he is. no1 can say no1 saw it coming!
as for lester' bargain of the year, i must wonder how muchhe would b worth if he were a free agent right now. if krenshaw is talkin 10 y and 300m, what would b johnny's market? i say nothin less than 22m average or 8 years. likely 200m for 8 years!

Please take this up with other Cowherd fans on Facebook or maybe AOL.
The problem you have here is that Cowherd has a history of sensationalism incident after incident. This latest with Papi is just another notch on his ratings-craving belt.
And you have fallen for it hook, line, and sinker.
True contrarianism is not just disagreeing with people and being an idiot. It's about digging up new information that contradicts lazy assumptions.
let me repeat this one more time
I'm disappointed in you Commie I thought you were a real individualist, not anyone's lapdog. To find out you are just another member of Cowherd's fanboy "Herd" is really disappointing.
Anyhow, have fun with the rest of the Herd, there will always be another faux debate that can be raised by watching someone from the couch and wondering if he might be on PEDs.
posted at 11/2/2013 3:33 PM EDT
"as a journalist, i would b asking questions"
Right, but Cowherd is not a journalist. A real journalist would head down to South America and trace out the roots of this story from primary sources.
I can tell you more about the difference between real journalism and opinion hacking like Cowherd does if you need me to. Having a player on the team come out and defend a armchair couch pundit position ANY ONE OF US COULD HAVE TAKEN is not real journalism.

Pink Peony, thank you for the offer of the books but it might be difficult to arrange for pick-up so I will decline. I already have lots of reading that I never seem to get to for other items that arise.
Grump 12/2/2013 6:16:30 AM
Good morning everyone, the start of another week and Christmas is just around the corner. Christmas Cheer is up close to 1400 applicants this year so far. This is a fairly large increase so I know they would greatly appreciate any support folks can offer. Used toys, non-perishable food product and of course good old cash. This is 100% volunteer driven and everything donated goes to those in need. The Sault at times has it's problems but this is one great town that always comes through when need be. Have a great day all, Merry Christmas.
It appears the RCMP have a new group of emails to cipher through. Previously declared deleted, they were discovered by the Privy Council and have been passed on to the RCMP.
theprotector 12/2/2013 7:41:49 AM
I wonder why Harper is and will support Israel regardless of their actions or world opinion over recent peace talks! It makes no sense from a security perspective or an economic one. Funny how he decided to go to Israel only after he found out JT has been there in the past! It would seem that he has taken a play right out of the rob ford handbook on how to look like an ass in the public eye � his little band and performance is, well simply embarrassing
flyhawk25 12/2/2013 7:48:10 AM
Let's cut Harper some slack.He's working on softening his image.So his play list is limited - at least he was courting a lot of votes in a non-political venue of wealthy voters.
Right about now I imagine he needs some positive vibes.
Bill_the_Cat 12/2/2013 8:09:32 AM
Harper and the CPC have been a continual source of support for Israel. As were all Prime Ministers prior to the current holder of the office.
Happy Hanukkah everyone! A few more days of dreidel play yet.

Thanks for The Words of the Week Spelly.
We really gave you lots of work this time.
I knew you would catch me on the Mulcair name.
I wasn't quite sure which was the correct spelling.
Now I know.
theprotector 12/2/2013 8:25:14 AM
That right right wing, just dont try, just nuke those people - I forgot your position. Even if it is contrary to what all the other countries in the world are saying harper is right.
Wild Turkey 12/2/2013 8:34:21 AM
Spellchecker---very interesting post!I have a few questions for you First--do you allow for regional quirks in speaking? For example--I can imagine what a post from Don Cherry would look like if he were to "put pen to paper"Is there a relationship between how people post, and how they speak in casual conversation?Do you allow for Canadianisms.Nice day eh!!!Many Canadians have done well in the U.S.A. as broadcasters,likely because they seem to speak with no accent.I find that after watching the seven o'clock news from W X Y Z inDetroit that some of their expressions are starting to creep into my everyday conversations.As for the list of errors--I always had trouble with two of those words.There was likely a " little rule to cover that "a o "thing but I was either not paying attention, or I was playing hookie to watch Baseball that day. I do remember the one about "I before e except after c and sometimes y when it means e or I .Or something like that.I also wonder if there is a field where some-one tries to determine a person's regional abode, by the way they phrase their posts?I was fascinated withHenry Higgins in high school and how he could tell which part of London someone came from just by their accent.When I hear someone from Newfoundland speaking,it is pretty clear to me where they are from.But does it come across that way in their posts? Anyway,it is all fun stuff and interesting to boot!Looking forward to the next one.
Zing 12/2/2013 8:46:05 AM
Thanks for the (*) star Spelly.:)
Jimssm 12/2/2013 9:28:03 AM
... at least Harper finally has his legacy.....
I didn't realize he was so well known internationally for his love of birds. Maybe now he will re-fund science and research here in Canada.
Wisenheimer 12/2/2013 9:31:55 AM
Spelly .. did you look up "vestigial" or did you know ?
Don't lie.
Came across it when doing a "fruit fly" experiment (vestigial wings), at Protector U.
soowat 12/2/2013 9:34:08 AM
Why is China involved in espionage against Canada? Harpo has already demonstrated that he is willing to sell that Chinese anything they want
redranger 12/2/2013 9:39:16 AM
You actually had to look up vestigial?
Wisenheimer 12/2/2013 9:39:26 AM
Jimssm .. you would accuse him of pandering to a special interest.
Like Chretien and golf courses.
Budster 12/2/2013 9:47:50 AM
Thanks WOTW Spelly. That was one word that I didn't think I had wrong ... oh well live and learn. Have a good day people and play nice in the sand box.
flyhawk25 12/2/2013 9:49:52 AM
The gift from Israel was just that - a gift.Of course he was schoozing the Jewish vote; he'd be foolish not to.
He's politician and that's what politicians do.
I don't think he'd waste his time at a union rally.
Jimssm 12/2/2013 10:16:22 AM
....Chretien met with the Jewish Prime Minister within a month of taking office.
....signed a free-trade agreement with Israel.
.... visited Israel (not to cut the ribbon on his bird sanctuary)
Yet he was generally disliked by Canadian Jewish community.
redranger 12/2/2013 10:19:29 AM
Fly ..you dropped an "m" there.
Spellchecker 12/2/2013 10:20:45 AM
Wisenheimer, I wouldn't lie to you. How would I know you misspelled the word if I didn't know how to spell it? It reminds me of a great little poem by Bliss Carman called Vestigia that we memorized in school. If you've never seen it it would be worth a googling by all but the resident atheists who would probably deem it unworthy of their attention.
You're welcome Wild Turkey, Dutch Touch, Zing, and Budster. Glad to be of service.
Wild Turkey, sorry but I can't include anything but the misspellings and a few of my pet peeve grammatical errors. Your post was quite interesting also.
Don't forget to google Bliss Carman's Vestigia. It's well worth it.
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
Proverbs 25:11
flyhawk25 12/2/2013 10:25:36 AM
Good thing Al Capp is dead.He invented the species and if you're old enough to recognize the reference - good.
Thanks. I'd hate to get caught by Spelly on a non-word.
Just Curious 12/2/2013 10:41:04 AM
Regarding our latest poll on Sootoday, are they going to eventually tell us what the actual percentage of over 65s is?? I would kind of like to know if I'm in the majority for a change...:)
flyhawk25 12/2/2013 11:06:34 AM
Let's just take a breath and stop worrying about poll numbers and media moments in federal politics.
This is all just political foreplay.Harper playing the piano or Trudeau boxing some other politician are just photo-ops.They haven't even got to the starting gate yet.Nobody is going to change any minds this soon in the drama.
Give it some time and see who stumbles and who shines.
DutchTouch 12/2/2013 11:20:34 AM
Spelly, I remember memorising that poem in grammar school.
I was touched by it then as I am now.
I love Bliss Carman poems.
flyhawk25 12/2/2013 11:26:28 AM
Dutchy...we all must have had the same readers in school.
I remember Sister Perpetual Agony having us memorize a Carman poem describing the sound of walking on snow on a very cold day as sounding like 'two wooden spoons that you rubbed together'.
Still makes me shiver. Or maybe it was just the memory of her scowl and leather strap.
DutchTouch 12/2/2013 11:44:58 AM
Flyhawk that's funny.
I remember a few teachers with a
similar name.
Edgar Allan Poe's poems gave me nightmares.
Grump 12/2/2013 11:46:05 AM
The strap only reinforced my mindset. I suspect that I may have been a bit stubborn in those days. Go figure.
mallet 12/2/2013 11:47:49 AM
Were all my mis-spelling this past week or have you been saving them up??
I do not remember posting that much in the "Blue Room" and once a post is written I forget them unless challenged on a fact. I also know a lot of people who spell things phonetically now as it is easier than actually looking up the word in the dictionary, and if it sounds "rite" why bother people will know what you are trying to say.
Dutch Touch..
Memorising things seems to be a past thing in schools, what with "Tablets" and "laptops" other technical things. In my day the first thing you started learning in Math was the times tables, generally up to 12x12, and all the workings of a math problem had to be shown, and back checked, not just the answer from a calculator. Oh for the good old days , with six of the best for unruly behaviour (behavior)[for spelly]..
mallet 12/2/2013 11:49:22 AM
Seems there are a lot of people in the same age group on here...
flyhawk25 12/2/2013 11:55:52 AM
And at some point 'memorizing' became 'memory work' and ruined everything.
Anyone still use the Periodic Index Chart?
Yeah. Me neither.
Zing 12/2/2013 11:57:42 AM
OK Spelly, I will post the poem.
Poetry by Bliss Carman
I took a day to search for God,
And found Him not. But as I trod
By rocky ledge, through woods untamed,
Just where one scarlet lily flamed,
I saw His footprint in the sod.
Then suddenly, all unaware,
Far off in the deep shadows, where
A solitary hermit thrush
Sang through the holy twilight hush �
I heard His voice upon the air.
And even as I marveled how
God gives us Heaven here and now,
In a stir of wind that hardly shook
The poplar leaves beside the brook �
His hand was light upon my brow.
At last with evening as I turned
Homeward, and thought what I had learned
And all that there was still to probe �
I caught the glory of His robe
Where the last fires of sunset burned.
Back to the world with quickening start
I looked and longed for any part
In making saving Beauty be �
And from that kindling ecstasy
I knew God dwelt within my heart.
Spellchecker 12/2/2013 12:10:37 PM
That's the one Zing. Good eh?
Mallet, that was one week's worth. Why would you think that I would prefer the American spelling of 'behaviour'? I am of English descent and a good Canadian. I always include my 'u' in those kind of words but reluctantly accept the American version for the WORDS OF THE WEEK.
redranger 12/2/2013 12:18:01 PM

Concerned citizen 12/2/2013 12:40:19 PM
Just Curious: Funny, I wondered about the percentage of seniors in the Sault too. Just happened to glance at an article in the Star last week and saw that for the Sault, it is 21%, about 4 per cent above the average of 17%.
Wisenheimer 12/2/2013 12:55:32 PM
Maybe fishing Spelly .. just fishing. But I do stand corrected.
Wisenheimer 12/2/2013 1:01:15 PM
Redranger .. no I spelled it wrong from memory. Spelly looked it up. (ha,ha).
DutchTouch 12/2/2013 1:45:54 PM
Getting back to the topic of poetry.
The name of the book we used was
"Invitation to Poetry".
I've been looking for one of those little books
for years and wish I had
saved mine.
Just Curious 12/2/2013 1:58:47 PM
Thanks, Concerned.. Hard to believe the percentage is that high.. No wonder it's hard to get seniors housing here in the Soo...:)

I have always wondered how come a whole load of those elements end in "IUM". Was someone in love with those three letters and could only come up with them in that order.. From days gone past I could come up with a new one, how about "BRYCREAMIUM"... used a lot in the Royal Air Force years ago..LOL

There is much to be said for having poems, prayers and songs in our memory banks.They offer great solace to us, add an added spice to our conversations (some of us still have those)and harken back to wonderful memories when beautiful language mattered.
Think of ii as 'pre-microwave language'.

My experience has been that kids naturally love to commit lovely things to memory if they have fun doing it.
Years after the fact I still run into former students who love to show off to wives and kids with some things they memorized for me.Frankly I've forgotten much of it.
How often do we hear about soldiers recalling how scripture passages comforted them in terrible battles?The 23rd Psalm comes up often.
One of my golf buddy's claim to fame is his great treasury of folk songs he sings as we play - for 18 holes.It seems to be a decided Celtic hobby.
Just plumb your memory for old songs that gave meaning to our first loves,carols that we do not need song books for or slightly ribald limericks.

Once more unto the breach, dear Friends, once more, or close this wall up with our noble english dead!!
The majority of my poetry consists of the likes of "twas on the good ship Venus" or "there was a young lady from Madrid" or a few songs from the book of Rugby Songs, mostly only allowed at Male only gatherings...

See Wild Turkey's post @8:34 and Mallet's post @11:47.Perhaps that professor had at least a bit of a point after all.(:
My favorite poem of all time. "Renascence" by Edna St. Vincent Millay.
Grump 12/2/2013 3:23:57 PM
It's all good but some of the choices are a little flowery for me. I was more a Robert Service type for poetry.

3tac, today was the first one in a while. I did one for both rooms.
Wild Turkey 12/2/2013 4:15:55 PM
Mallet---My favorites are--"There was a young Maid from Nantucket--And ---As I was walking to St. Paul's And my all time favorite----Here's to Nelly

Nice poems today. Sparky, good choice of poet. I have always liked Edna ... a bit of a free spirit ... I always liked "What lips my lips have kissed".
On another tack, how many would sit on Zwarte Piet's knee?
flyhawk25 12/2/2013 6:26:09 PM
I'd like to be more of a poetic purist but I confess to liking Drummond 'One fine night on Lac St. Pierre, da wind she blow blow blow...'
And I am also fond of the late Al Purdy whom I've spent some time with.
In fact a yellow copy of one of his poems is taped to my desk.
'...a blue heron...and it occurs to me/that if I were to die at this moment/that picture would accompany me/wherever I am going/for part of the way.'
Me too.
Wisenheimer 12/2/2013 6:39:56 PM
Grump .. can still recite "The Cremation of Sam McGee" and the "Shooting of Dan McGrew" from Grade 8.
"Now a pals' last need is a thing to heed and I swore I would not fail.
But we started out at the crack of dawn but God he looked ghastly pale."
His WW1 poetry is devastating.
Wisenheimer 12/2/2013 6:41:47 PM
Whoops ... "break of dawn".
sparks7 12/2/2013 6:52:42 PM
Yeah she was special that's for sure.Have you read "Savage Beauty"?It is an excellent biography.The first time I heard Millay I was up at my cabin,sitting out watching the sunset and sipping brandy.A lady was reciting "Renascence" over CBC radio.As I listened to the words honest to God I found myself falling in love with Edna and it felt like her ghost/spirit was right there!At first I thought oh man,maybe I have been in the bush alone for a little too long.But then they started reading letters that were sent to her from men from all over the world.Men that had the the exact same experience that I had just had.So it was not just me.There is a girl that puts poetry to music on you tube.She goes by the moniker "Perennial English" and she is very good
I love the way she does "song of a second april" by Lemay and "hope is the thing with feathers" by Dickinson.
shakespeare 12/2/2013 7:06:27 PM
sparks: before she wrote the sonnet about her numerous lovers in the past and the loss of affection in later years, this is how Edna dealt with men (like you?) who fell in love with her in that past:
I, Being Born a Woman and Distressed
I, being born a woman and distressed
By all the needs and notions of my kind,
Am urged by your propinquity to find
Your person fair, and feel a certain zest
To bear your body's weight upon my breast:
So subtly is the fume of life designed,
To clarify the pulse and cloud the mind,
And leave me once again undone, possessed.
Think not for this, however, the poor treason
Of my stout blood against my staggering brain,
I shall remember you with love, or season
My scorn wtih pity, -- let me make it plain:
I find this frenzy insufficient reason
For conversation when we meet again.
shakespeare 12/2/2013 7:09:16 PM
It's kind of like ... Wham, Bam thank you, sir!
gcubed 12/2/2013 7:40:40 PM
Here's one of my favourites. I first read it in the "Hollinger Miner" company magazine that the mine published for their employees and families:
The bride, white of hair,
Stoops over her cane,
Her footsteps uncertain, need guiding.
While down the church aisle,
With a wan toothless smile,
The groom in a wheelchair comes riding.
And who is this elderly couple thus wed?
You'll find if you closely explore it,
That this is the rare,
Most conservative pair,
Who waited till they could afford it!
flyhawk25 12/2/2013 7:42:56 PM
Isn't this interesting?
Folks from various cultures and backgrounds recalling the written word.
It makes me humbled by the the depth and scope of the literacy.
And isn't it interesting how we've all landed on a site where we can enjoy words.
This makes me hopeful.
sparks7 12/2/2013 7:52:53 PM
HA,yup,she was a frisky creature if there ever was one.Do you know the circumstances surrounding her death?Spooky to say the least.But that is another story.
shakespeare 12/2/2013 7:55:03 PM
The Swiss are contemplating a minimum monthly wage for everyone over 18 of $2150 (Canadian). I heard an interesting discussion on CBC with a Swiss official about this. Interestingly, the "right" are not against it. Unlike the GOP who follow the formula, "It's every man for himself", the Swiss see the wisdom of being progressive and seeing that everyone benefits from a society whose basic needs are taken care of. They also see it as an incentive for betterment.
mallet 12/2/2013 8:14:09 PM
Wild Turkey..
I am not sure about the "maid" from Nantucket, but I do remember the "Young man" I really am not one for the classics so to speak having had to read Keats, Shelley and a few more that I prefer to forget. It seems so strange that the ones that one had to learn never stuck, but the ones written on the lavatory walls did. Perhaps because the ones one had to learn, had so little to do with ones life, but the others could bring a smirk to ones face..
shakespeare 12/2/2013 8:28:51 PM
I didn't know, but I "right-winged" and saw that Edna fell down the stairs. A similar later fate befell the talented Sandy Denny at a much earlier age, but she was a similarly beautiful poetess. I saw her perform a few times with Fairport Convention.
redranger 12/2/2013 8:51:30 PM
Most people only recall those easily remembered ones...the ones in iambic pentameter, rhyming couplets.
Jimssm 12/2/2013 8:51:38 PM
Dogmas--religious, political, scientific--arise out of erroneous belief that thought can encapsulate reality or truth. Dogmas are collective conceptual prisons. And the strange thing is that people love their prison cells because they give them a sense of security and a false sense of "I know."

Holy smokes Shakespeare.Fairport Convention.I remember some of their music from ages ago and liked it. I was however bigger on Traffic at the time and as I recall some of the music from those bands were in the same vein.So thank you for reminding me about them.I am going to be checking them out.Anyhow,when Edna fell down the stairs her head was resting on a notebook on the landing in which there was the penciled draft of a poem.The last line was "Handsome, this day:no matter who has died.

While shares of Twitter have yet to hit the market, stocks of the unrelated Tweeter Home Entertainment Group have gotten a boost from over-excited investors.
Read: Twitter's IPO details unsealed
Shares in Tweeter closed up 684.6% on Friday, to five cents. The company sold consumer electronics until it declared bankruptcy in 2008, The Wall Street Journal says.
Tweeter's stock ticker is TWTRQ, similar to Twitter's chosen stock symbol of TWTR.
At one point, Tweeter's stock reached 15 cents—a 52-week record—after opening at two cents this morning. Its average trading volume soared from 85,747 to 14,358, 359.
FINRA halted trades on the stock at 12:42 pm. The regulator says the trades were an "extraordinary event" that could have "the potential to cause major disruption to the marketplace or significant uncertainty in the settlement and clearance process."

Comedian returns for show at Fox Tucson Theatre
Want to know what's on comedian Paula Poundstone's mind as she returns to Tucson for a show at the Fox Tucson Theatre on Saturday?
Here's a glimpse from her recent social media postings:
- Twitter (twitter.com/paulapoundstone) — "My son has a Science project the sole purpose for which is to see how much the student can get their mother to buy for a science project." "My son just had a rugby game. I cheered a lot, but I had no idea what they were doing." "CNN's headline says some rich investment banker says people who pay more taxes should get more votes. I got news for you, CNN: They do."
- Facebook (facebook.com/PaulaPoundstone) "If you could go to jail for a few years for money laundering, dropping the phone in the toilet must get you life." "Awkward moment at State Dinner when Obama asks French President Hollande, 'How do you guys do that French kissing thing?' " "On Feb. 22 I'll be at the Fox Theater in Tucson, Ariz. I'd say I'd be the foxy lady there, but it's just too gross. Even as a joke."
About that concert on Saturday, it starts at 8 p.m. at the Fox, 17 W. Congress St. Tickets are $29.50 to $49.50 at foxtucsontheatre.ticketforce.com
Slow Jams concert moves to new venue
R Dub's Slow Jams Live concert returns to Tucson Friday with a new venue and a living Legend onboard.
For the first time, the popular gathering of classic and contemporary R&B musicians will hold court at Centennial Hall, 1020 E. University Blvd, on the University of Arizona campus.
The event has traditionally been held at the Tucson Arena.
It will be headlined by pianist and megastar John Legend, who is performing in Tucson before embarking on his four-month "All of Me Tour" in March.
The tour is in promotion of his 2013 release, "Love in the Future."
Legend will be joined by Next, Mario and SoMo.
The show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $40 to $130 through ticketmaster.com online.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. making Tucson debut
Detroit indie pop-dance duo Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. — yes, two Jr.s and no affiliation to the NASCAR racer to whom they tip their hat and who counts himself among their fans — roar into Club Congress Tuesday for their Tucson debut.
Here's a primer:
- Members: Joshua Epstein and Daniel Zott.
- History in 30 words or less: They started recording original songs in Zott's basement outside Detroit for fun. A buzz around their first two EPs propelled them to take their project out of the basement.
- They are signed to Warner Bros. Records.
- The name: The pair told NASCAR.com that the name was a way to describe their "crazy new project that had no limitations. People have no idea how we are going to sound, and so it gives them a reason to actually take some time to listen to the music."
The all-ages show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15 at the door or at ticketfly.com
Also this week at Congress, 311 E. Congress St.:
- Tucson's tropical dance party with El Tambó: ¡Cumbia & Dub, Vox Urbana and Dub Society at 9 p.m. Friday. $5 at the door.
- Sun Bones and Black Jackalope Ensemble with Secret Highway Secrets at 8 p.m. Wednesday. Free.

Marsland plays
at Plush on Friday
Los Angeles musician Adam Marsland has a set scheduled for Plush on Friday.

He comes to Tucson with his latest self-recorded solo album, "The Owl and the Full Moon."
Marsland will be bookended by Tucson acts the Modeens and Al Perry.

I did a tally of how little of a life I have. I was looking at my hours spent playing Borderlands 2. Over 23 and a half full days, or 564+ hours. Every class played, with 318 hours and 43 minutes as Siren class. I'm actually surprised the number isn't bigger..
..Can I play the Pre-sequel yet?
Seriously, I'm dying to play it. I've always been trying to figure out in my head, how did Pandora go through such drastic changes between 1 and 2 so I'm so glad they decided to make a whole game to go through it, and this isn't going to be the third (technically speaking) game in the series! I was to play as the CL4P-TP. I hear they actually have the vission calibrated lower and foggier for the Claptrap, but I'm sure I'll end up playing every class anyways.
This is my Claptrap shirt from Megacon. I fought through hell and high water, and with the help of two Cosplay Deviants members, I finally obtained my biggest and best loot: two Borderlands tshirts. It's the little things, guys. Now with 96.5% more WUBWUB.
I'll be posting more on my new FB: www.facebook.com/AboutAnnasthesia ♥
Here's Sneak Peak 1 ot 2:
I sincerely hope some of you can tell who I am. Someone on my Instagram said "some Star Wars broad." lol
I can't wait to show you guys more!
It's still a baby page but we'll get there.
In more news, I got a very exciting package in the mail from Kim and Troy (site owners). They had heard from Madison Valentine about the accident I was in that totaled the front end of my car. Thousands in damage. They wanted to help, and to do so sent me my leftover prints from Megacon a couple weekends ago with the most heart-warming personal letter. It's rare in my life that I put myself out ther enough to make connections with people, so to see the appreciation and care from Kim, Troy, and Madi was so amazing it made me tear up (surprise lol).
I now have those prints, 2 from Tank Girl, 2 from Misty (Pokemon), for sale in my Etsy store.
I made that banner just now. I rather like it.
Anyways, yeah, other than all that I'm just trying to get back on my feet and save up for an awesome cosplay idea that got accepted. I'm hoping to shoot a Black Lady (Sailor Moon) set soon, and hopefully for the calendar as well. I need to get back up and moving! :D I hope everyone else is faring well and staying safe! ♥
So, first of all, MEGACON WAS SO AWESOME! :D I'm so lucky to have had the chance to be a part of the event team. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that I get to do it again next time! I got Wil Wheaton's autograph and made friends with Phil Lamarr. He has been such a wonderful addition to my day to day and is an absolute awesome person to talk to. He even go me an qutograph from Richard Horvitz from Invader Zim!
(MarieJane let me take sexy butt selfies with her, and Domi taught me about the song 'Selfie')
I got to meet so many amazing new friends and fans. I was so lucky to get to meet all of these amazing people this last weekend: Madison Valentine, Envy, MarieJane, Domi, SallySparrow, Troy, Kim, and so many awesome members! Everyone was so nice, I cried multiple times this weekend, lol. And everyone was so awesome and patient with my anxiety and multitude of physical problems. I really feel like part of the family now!
It was so awesome to be around so many awesome cosplayers and really get inpired to make bigger and better costumes and sets in the future!
Now, the low end of news. I was in a bad car accident yesterday. The front end of my car is totaled. Insurance won't cover it, I can't afford collision. On top of that my phone hasn't been able to take or hold a proper charge since Megacon. I didn't even have a phone to call anyone during the accident. Physically, I'm okay, but the stress is making me sore and sick and I'm just at a loss. For the time being, All of my Etsy Prints will be Buy 1 Get 1 Free for anyone who had wanted one but wanted to save money. All money made is going directly towards me being able to get to work so I can fix my car, and fixing my car so I can go to work. Damn how cyclical that is.
Anyways, yeah, so that's what's happening. I also was about to comission a fantastic new elaborate cosplay today for an upcoming set, but that is unfortunately on hold indefinately. Luckily, neither I nor anyone else was hurt. If my girl buddy Kristen gets her camera fixed I'll hopefully be able to shoot my Dark Lady (Sailor Moon) set that I debuted at Megacon. It'll take some serious saving after that to put together something new, but I'm going to try and not get discouraged. :)
Stay safe, guys ♥
Love, Anna
We're fast approaching Megacon here and, if I can confess again, it's going to be my first!
So, tell me, what should I expect? What can I absolutely not miss? How much Tentacle Grape soda can I drink without getting sick? Only one way to find out. So, what are you wearing? Dish! I want to soak 100% of this experience and I don't want to leave anything out!
Are you going? You should. You probably already know it's March 21st - 23rd. Be there or be square. :P
Speaking of tentacles, *ahem* I got this amazing piece of art in the mail yesterday. It's an Impala skull from Africa. The whole design is completely unique and the artist, Cody, even added tentacles throughout the design! For size reference, that is a dinner plate and those candles are bigger than my fist ;) If you're interested, you should absolutely check out his work: HERE. Insanely talented, beautiful shit right there.
So, yeah, I'm going to go play Borderlands 2 and watch Daria. Get at me! I'm alone and feeling chatty :)
