Yotsukaido Mud Festival – Chiba
It is February and that means the glorious Warabi Hadaka Matsuri, or the Doronko Matsuri, or the Yotsukaido Mud Festival is drawing closer. On the 25th of this month the toughest men of the city of Yotsukaido in Chiba prefecture to the east of Tokyo will dress up in nothing but loincloth and wade into the freezing waters of a muddy rice field to enact a ritual that is to guarantee them good luck for the year and good coming harvest. There are several parts to the festival, chanting in the water, a game of "kibasen" (one man on the shoulder of three others who battle other similar teams) and of course the blessing of the infants! In this ceremony infants not yet one year old are carried into the water and given a symbolic drop of mud on the forehead, applied with a rice stalk from last year's harvest. I took these photos at last year's festival that was so cold they had to break the thick ice of the pond before the ritual could start.
The festival involves a lot of mud, so spectators in the first rows will probably get a bit of splatter so if you intend to see it in person I'd recommend leaving your nicest clothes home for the day! You can see my earlier post, with more information, here. The festival takes place in and around the tiny hill top shrine of Warabi Mimusubijinja (和良比皇産霊神社) which is said to date back to 811 A.D. The pond is naturally fertilized which makes it an even more interesting experience if you get too close to the mud!

Guarding the Sleeping Gods and the Lucky Arrow – Fuchu City
When I started this blog it was always my ambition to tell a story with the photos. I soon realized that photos alone was not enough and that I needed a story to go with them, but I can't write and I wanted only the simplest stories. Some stories are almost impossible complicated though. This blog post has been sitting on my to do list since May this year. I just couldn't figure out how to tell it. Here goes. I'll give it a try. It is extremely simplified.
In the very long ago mythical past of Japan, the people thought that there were many Gods in the lands. The ice-age myths were alive and well. They told stories of animals, springs, rocks, mountains, clouds and skies being inhabited by a kami, a God. Humans were Gods in the making as well and these Gods could never be killed, they stayed around at family altars and watched over their descendants gathered around the hearths and homes. There was no need to build temples since everywhere was already inhabited by a kami. In the 7th century the cool new thing, buddhism came over from China and they started building nice temples that filled up with rich offerings and gathered monks and nuns around them. The priests who communicated with the kami were miffed, and so to stay competitive they started building shrines of their own, honoring the most important or strongest of the kami. Japan would be very lucky to have two peaceful non-competitive religions coexisting in quite a bit of harmony. The kami enshrined in these buildings sometimes grew bored and needed to be taken out for a bit, and so the festivals you still see today, with the portable shrines, the omikoshi, were born. To spread the benign influence of the kami around, the shrines started erecting Otabisho, which are in essence mini-shrine motels, places where the kami in the omikoshi can rest for a little while or even spend the night as they travel around the parish. These Otabisho were built in specially significant locations, sometimes within the shrine precincts, sometimes just outside, sometimes even an hours walk away. Since the kami now inhabited these otabisho they were considered extraordinarily holy and lay people were forbidden to enter while the kami was there. Armed guards with sharpened swords would be placed outside to protect the kami while they rested. Today, many hundreds of years later, a few very old shrines still preserve this tradition, one of them being the Okunitama Shrine (大國魂神社) in Tokyo's western Fuchu City. The first photo shows one of these modern day warriors in front of the Otabisho, holding up his sword, luckily it was not necessary to unsheathe it that night. He is accompanied by city elders, friends, Boy Scouts and curious locals of all ages. Inside the kami of the Okunitama shrine rests safely. Traditionally you are not supposed to see the inside of the Otabisho but I think the residents of the apartment building right next to it can get a pretty good view of the Otabisho enclosure just by opening their front doors!
There is one more complicated and interesting ritual taking place at this spot on the same night, the Lucky Arrow. In a procession from the main shrine to the Otabisho the head priest rides a black horse and shoots an arrow at a target presented by a lower ranking priest or assistant. Hitting the target means that the kami are in favor of the city and will protect them during the coming year. To be on the safe side the mounted priest is very close to the target and shoots as many little arrows as necessary, although the first one rarely misses. Now, the really interesting and absolutely terrifying aspect of this ritual is that the people of Fuchu, which happens to be the home of a horse race track a few kilometers away, believe that possessing the arrow shot by the head priest in front of the kami while mounted on a live horse, is going to bring them extremely good luck in betting on the horses. For horse racing fans there is no stronger talisman in the entire country so a few of them (only the burliest needs to bother) will show up to try and catch the arrow as it bounces of the target, usually in mid-air, usually within the kicking distance of a very proud horse! I consider myself fairly used to horses and if it is one thing I always remember it is to never walk behind a horse within kicking distance. These men however seemed absolutely fearless as their quest for the lucky arrow almost ended in a big brawl. It was actually quite scary and I had a very hard time concentrating on taking photos, hence the poor documentation of this interesting folk custom of Fuchu City!
These rituals take place during the Kurayami festival, which is a night festival that used to take place under the cover of darkness. When Japan opened up to foreigners in the late 1860's however, they were so embarrassed about this festival that would be sure to shock the sensible western missionaries and traders to their very bones, so they quickly changed it to a daytime and early evening festival. Fuchu is still a very dark city after nightfall though, and the photos I took actually looks brighter (thank the kami for modern technology!) than it was in real life, hence the dark blurry and grainy shots. If I am lucky and get a chance to see this again I will be better prepared to take better photos!
Shichi-go-san Girls
Shi-go-san is one of my favorite Japanese rituals. It the a ritual that takes place when boys turning 3 or 5, and girls turning 3 or 7. It is traditionally celebrations to mark a childs advancement in age. Children are dressed up in special clothes and the whole family usually visits a shrine to take part in a special ceremony. Traditionally it takes place on November 15th every year and it has been going on since sometime in the Heian period (794-1185 A.D.) when it was reserved for court nobles. Later it became common even with the samurai class and in the recent period (starting in 1868 with emperor Meiji) it started being common in all classes of people. Although November 15th is the traditional date people do it more or less sometime around that time, sometimes months late or early: it is more important to be able to gather the entire family than to hit the correct date and in our modern times people really are too busy.
Back in the old days all children had shaved heads before the age of three so in the ceremony marked the day when the children could start growing their hair. At five boys would start wearing the hakama (a sort of kimono like trouser) and the girls would start wearing proper kimono with obi (the belt) at seven.
I took the first three of these photos at Tokyo's famous Meiji Shrine in Shibuya Ward, and the last two at the Yushima Tenjin in Bunkyo Ward. The first girl with the absolutely adorable smile was very shy when she saw me with my camera.
Ikegami Oeshiki Ceremony – Kids
One of the things I love the most about Japanese festivals is that they are so multi-generational. Everyone gets a chance to join in and there is a place for everyone regardless of age or ability. One of the most exciting festivals in Tokyo is the massive Oeshiki buddhist ceremony at the huge Honmonji in Ikegami, Ota Ward in southern Tokyo. I took these photos of kids joining in, mimicking the adults with their matoi poles and ritual dancing. The kid's versions are obviously much smaller but they still take it very seriously. Some of the kids are taped up like pro athletes! I can imagine that the constant twisting of the matoi poles can be very hard on fingers, hands and wrists. They also use a very fine talcum powder to get a proper grip on the poles, as the evening progresses the talcum tends to get everywhere! I found when I got home that evening that I too had been covered in a grey mist of powder! Even my camera was coated in it.
One little kid in particular caught my attention, too small to take part in the dancing the kid was still participating fully even from the pram!

People are crazy. And there's no place to better illustrate that fact than on the sidelines at any kids' sporting event.
Picture insane screaming parents making fools out of themselves and living vicariously through little Timmy's ability to kick a ball into a goal. It's nuts! But the yelling and aggressiveness is only one of the bad behaviors I keep running into at children's sporting events.
So I've made a pact with myself: There are some things I will never do on the sidelines or from the bleachers while my offspring are participating in a sporting event. Here they are ...
1. I won't shout at someone else's kid. Unless I'm yelling, "Great job!" or "Good try!" (I reserve the right to yell at my own kids, though. Especially things like "Quit filling your pockets with leaves, this is a soccer game!")
2. I won't demean my own kid when they fail. Because they feel bad enough for messing up already. And also because it's a game. Save the parental disappointment for something that matters, like when they drop your iPhone in the toilet.
3. I won't be the obnoxious stat-tracker. I won't report on how many goals my daughter has scored this season, or how many shots my son has made, or dear God I won't shove a spreadsheet in the coach's face to make a point about my kid's playing time.
4. I won't pace like a coach. Up and down the sideline ... following the action, berating the ref, shadowing the players. You know why I won't do it? Because bleachers exist for a reason, and because I don't want to block the seated parents' view, and because I don't want them looking at my ass the whole game.
5. I won't litter. I don't want to sit in some mystery leftover sticky wrappers-and-bottles mush, and you don't either. I will be a good example for the precious children by putting my king-size Butterfinger wrapper in the trash can.
6. I won't bring my dog. Yes, your Doberman is beautiful. Yes, you keep saying "she loves children." Yes, I also am not blind to the fact that your dog is scaring the hell out of half the kids here. Why don't you see it, too? Oh, and what's that smell?
7. I won't be vulgar or inappropriate. Even if my kid hears those words at home all the time, I recognize that other children might not. I'm sure you won't appreciate me when your 3-year-old comes home from big sister's game with a colorful vocabulary.
8. I won't use the time as social hour. "Did you see me score, Mommy?" If my answer to that question is ever "no," then obviously 1) I will lie about it, and 2) I will feel like a turd. Sure, I'll talk to you, but I'll keep my eyes on the game, thanks.
9. I won't pollute your air. Not that I smoke, but if I did, I'd do it far away from everyone else. AND DOWNWIND. If you are coughing and choking from my cigarette smoke and miss your kid's moment due to the secondhand haze, then I give you the right to approach me in the parking lot and will allow you a pass on #7.
10. I won't be a jackass! If I don't feel like encouraging both teams—or if I can't control my behavior at a game for little children—then I won't come. Or I'll sit far enough away that my kid still knows I'm there but won't get embarrassed by Mommy. I embarrass them in plenty of other ways already.
Five years from now, no one will remember the score at the end of today's game—including your child. But I promise your kid will remember if you get carded by the ref, or escorted out of the gym by security, or tarred-and-feathered by a posse of parents who have had enough of your idiocy. So how about we all cool it. OK?

Sometimes these articles are very demeaning....You won't bring your dog, but I would...YOU may not keep track your child's success, but YOU may not be thinking of a sports career for YOUR child...YOU may not pace like a coach, but heck yeah I would...and you wanna know why? Because I am the BEST coach for my child! I wouldn't berate and I think those two should not be confused or mixed.
Anyway, it's okay to have your own opinion on things but classifying people as "jackasses" or my dog "stinks" or YOUR opinion of people "making fools of themselves" are other people's securing futures for their children...so have an opinion but as you said yourself, do not berate others
#4 should include to not be a sideline coach as you are pacing!! i am an assistant coach for my daughters team and the biggest irritation are sideline coaches!! the players get confused when they have 15 different people yelling at them what to do! one thing parents need to remember.....the coaches are volunteering their time. if you believe you can do a better job, then by all means, do it. every year we deal with parents complaining about certain things, yet when help is needed, they are nowhere to be found. the closest i ever came to playing soccer was in gym class. but when it came down to needing a coach for my daughters team, it was only myself and one other parent that volunteered. she did not have any soccer background as well. we were ripped apart from the beginning. and still, no one would step up. we did our best and 3 years later, are still coaching. we have a winning team. but of course, we hear about it when they dont win. we have even had our team stand up for us. after losing a playoff game, one of the dads (he believes he is David Beckham!) proceeded to tell us how awful we were at coaching (regardless of making playoffs), his daughter stood up and said "maybe you should coach then dad". and the rest of the team stood up and agreed. dad just walked away. we always remind our players they are there to learn and have fun. and thats what they do. parents really need to stop living through their children!
I come from a loud cheering family. We've never had any problems though because we keep it positive. We try not to be distracting but when something awesome happens its hard for us to keep it cool and quiet. I don't know what sports my son will be really into yet but I want to be there to support him, not embarrass him. #8 makes me giggle because there are always people/parents that think just being there is enough and that they don't have to pay attention. Before there were cell phones these people usually brought books or magazines and I've found in my experience they hard to get through too. I knew someone with a mom like that in high school and it was so sad to listen to them argue about it.

Fiscal sustainability and the future of Richard Bland College
Returning to my home state of Virginia and to Virginia's system of public higher education following 12 years in the State University of New York, I am reminded that all states are grappling with the same fundamental shift currently underway in the higher education industry. It is a shift in the basic business model.
Simply stated, colleges and universities can no longer depend upon, or expect, cash-strapped governments - federal, state or local - to maintain, let alone increase, funding for public higher education. In the case of Virginia, the longstanding goal of providing 2/3 of operating revenues, with 1/3 coming from student tuition and fees, is laudable but unrealistic given the ever-rising cost of higher education and competing demands. For Richard Bland College, general fund revenue in 1992 was $4,063 per full-time equivalent student, according to data from the State Council for Higher Education in Virginia. Today, 20 years later, that number is $3,956 with almost half of total revenues coming from student tuition and fees. The significance of these numbers is heightened by the fact that Richard Bland's full-time students enjoy the lowest tuition in the state.
Richard Bland College of the College of William and Mary has a proud 50-year history of service to Central Virginia that is best demonstrated by its 7,700 alumni who are now actively contributing to the local economy and community in myriad ways. They are nurses and doctors in a variety of health-related fields; they are teachers, university professors and administrators. They are public safety officials, business owners, and political and community leaders, just to name a few. To continue its legacy of alumni success, the outstanding faculty and staff who deliver the College's educational programs and services must be supported in responding to the needs and demands of today's students, which requires new investments, particularly in technology and faculty development.
As president of Richard Bland College, my primary responsibility to the William and Mary Board of Visitors, to whom I report, and to the taxpayers of the Commonwealth is to serve as a strong fiscal steward of the funds entrusted to the college to fulfill its core educational mission. In the absence of new revenues, that means that I am tasked to make tough resource allocation decisions.
In keeping with that responsibility and in response to enrollment shortfalls at Richard Bland this fall, all non-mission-critical expenditures are being closely reviewed and some programs have been modified or eliminated. For example, the RBC Community Wind Ensemble was one of dozens of activities recommended by a 1979 Faculty and Staff Committee on Recruitment and Retention as a way of "involving more local talented high school students in the organization by recruiting these students through the music directors at local high schoolsâ¦and offering music instruction of various types in the continuing education program at the college."
The resulting Wind Ensemble music course offered each semester thereafter has been under-enrolled, especially in recent years. With only three enrollees this fall and with no affiliated FTE-revenue, the salary and music costs were not justifiable, so the course was canceled. Similarly, the Chorus course affiliated with the Petersburg Festival Chorus did not attract enough student interest to justify running a course this fall. In both cases, I met with leaders of these organizations, explained the enrollment challenge and invited them to continue to utilize campus facilities for rehearsal and performances through a standard Facilities Use Agreement that provides for cost recovery when campus facilities are used by outside entities. Ideally, supporters of these highly respected and worthwhile community organizations will be able to identify and secure a sustainable funding stream.
I realize that change is difficult, particularly for individuals who have invested considerable time, talent and energy in developing and nurturing projects and programs, in some cases over the course of several decades. However, it is imperative that Richard Bland College balance the 2012-2013 budget and that appropriate actions be taken to secure the college's long-term financial future. Actions taken to date, in addition to significant cuts in administrative expenses, will yield considerable direct savings and considerably more in indirect resource recovery in the current fiscal year alone, funds that will be reinvested in support of core academic courses and programs.
At its September meeting, the William and Mary Board of Visitors approved my 2012-2013 goals for Richard Bland College:
- Refocus on the future of Richard Bland College by guiding all stakeholders in a rigorous and transparent strategic planning process, and deliver to stakeholders a 2013-2018 Strategic Plan with measurable outcomes and Key Performance Indicators.
- Reinvest limited resources in the core mission of delivering high quality educational programs and services. Restructure administrative operations and streamline operational processes and systems, and reallocate resources to support new faculty hires, faculty and staff development, and new program development.
- Reinvent Richard Bland College. Conduct research designed to clarify RBC's "promise" and align RBC's core mission and resources to fulfill that promise or mission. Develop and implement Strategic Enrollment Management (SEM).
It is, indeed, an honor and a privilege to be back in Virginia serving Richard Bland College and working together with those dedicated to its ongoing success. I am optimistic that this collaborative effort will yield tremendously positive outcomes for local citizens and for the Commonwealth.
Debbie L. Sydow, Ph.D, is the president of Richard Bland College of The College of William and Mary in Virginia

Why Use Envista
Envista's map-based coordination uncovers potential conflicts, identifies new opportunities, improves planning and communication, and saves users significant amounts of time and money in managing activities in the public right-of-way (ROW), while reducing environmental impact. These benefits are not theoretical. Using the Envista Cost Saving Analysis (CSA) toolthe first model of its kind to quantify both the financial and environmental benefits of improved coordinationyou can see the real value this powerful solution offers. The example below is based on CSA data from the Envista ecosystem surrounding the City of Baltimore, Maryland, which encompasses Baltimore Department of Public Works, Baltimore Department of Transportation, and Baltimore Department of General Services, along with area utilities including Baltimore Gas & Electric (BGE), Veolia Energy (Trigen-Baltimore), and Verizon.
Fewer Street Cuts - 27% reduction
Detailed studies referenced in the Envista CSA model show that improved project coordination reduces street cuts, thereby extending the useful life of roadways. In the Envista model, the best documented studies are used as a baseline of how map-based coordination can reduce the number of street cuts by 27%.
Longer Pavement Life - 6 years
Many pavements have a useful life of nearly 20 years, but excessive street cuts shorten that significantly. Keeping street cuts to a reasonable number through effective map-based coordination among municipalities and utilities can add 6 years to the useful life of roads.
Lower Paving Costs - 32% reduction
Map-based coordination creates cost-saving opportunities for both municipalities and utilities. For municipalities, longer pavement life reduces total paving budgets. For utilities, cost savings can include the increased use of low-cost temporary paving patches and the decreased need for expensive curb-to-curb paving. For example, if you can identify that a street is going to be repaved in the near future, you have an opportunity to do other work under the street prior to repaving, thereby saving the cost of full pavement restoration.
Reduce Carbon Dioxide Emissions by 1.5 Tons Over Life of Street for Each Street Cut Avoided
Reducing the number of street cuts reduces the amount of paving and construction activity. The environmental impact can be measured both in the smaller amount of energy required to manufacture asphalt, as well the reduced carbon emissions expended during manufacture. The reduced carbon emissions in the Baltimore example alone can total 14,734 tons of carbon dioxide annually.

Identity and Epistemology

If a tree falls with no one around then there should be the presence of sound waves. Sound, nonetheless, is a product of the brain and a element of consciousness and would not be present if there is no one to hear. Perception is not the thing perceived. When dealing with the mystics claim of some alternate knowledge or truth, it is important to make the distinction and remember that while sound (i.e., the experience of hearing) is in the mind of the one who hears, it is still subject to objective standards (e.g., one should hear when sound waves are present and not when they are not
Our awareness and understanding of existence is ultimately derived from perception. Neither perception nor reason are infallible. The delusional mystic may really hear a little voice in his head but this does not mean he is really talking to god or little green men. The presence of feeling, sensation, sight, sound etc. is self-evident proof of their existence. Sensation is, to the one who senses, self-evident proof of the existence of sensation. The existence of sensation is proof that something exists even of one assumes that sensation is all that exists. Sensation (i.e., sensory stimuli) becomes perception when it is acknowledged as information about existence. Commonsense assumes this (surely even in the mind of a child or an animal.)
This commonsense is ascended to the status of knowledge (i.e., truth held with justified certainty) when the axiom is formulated, acknowledge and recognized as an immutable absolute (and this is what embracing mysticism steals from you). The formulation of the axiom is the product of creativity. The validity of all knowledge, no matter how it is obtained, ultimately rest on the axiom (i.e., the validity of perceptions and our minds interpretations of them is hinged in the law of identity). It is not necessary to know everything about the human mind and have an answer to every epistemological question in order to prove this. All that is required is an understanding of self-evidence and necessary truth.
Reason subsumes all human faculties. Reason refers to all the mental function that process perceptions into concepts an ideas or any mental constructs (e.g., thinking in pictures). The importance of creativity in humanities pursuit of truth is difficult to over state. Identism is in agreement with the gist of the statement reason is the servant of creativity, but the statement implies a concept of reason that must be rejected. It is better stated as deduction is the servant of creativity, but both are faculties of reason. The result of defining creativity outside of reason, if not the propose, is the exempting of creativity from the first principle and rendering it schizophrenic. It is significant, in this context, to consider how stagnant and uncreative, in any meaningful why, the contemporary intellectual and artistic environment has become. This is especially true in academic philosophy which is little more than a death rattle of philosophy along with the stuffy formality and pretentious snobbery of a disenfranchised aristocracy. While, conversely, in other fields of endeavor, especially technological, breathtaking demonstrations of creativity are still being produced by the participants of capitalism, the orphaned children of a betrayed and all but forgotten intellectual heritage.
It is incontrovertibly true that a dragon is a dragon. Denying this cannot be reduces to the absurd because it is already there, but yet, there are no dragons. Why then is the statement true? The term dragon is neither true nor false, because it does not assert anything. The statement dragon is dragon does not assert and prove the existence of dragon; it asserts and proves the existence of self-sameness (i.e., identity). Asserting dragon is dragon is not the same as asserting dragons exist and does not beg the question. As far as a complex statement (i.e., they make more than one assertion) such as the statement, 2+2=3 is 2+2=3, it is true in the respect that it asserts identity and false in the respect that it asserts non-identity (i.e., it asserts 1+1+1+1 is 1+1+1). The statement 2+2=4 states essentially that 1+1+1+1 is 1+1+1+1, and this asserts a truth (even if your counting dragons). The truth it asserts is the truth of the existence of identity. It is the fact of the existence of self-sameness that grounds logical truth to reality. A true understanding of necessary truth and the claim to knowledge requires the acknowledgment that axioms assert the existence of self-sameness. The failure to acknowledge the existence of self-sameness will leave "knowledge" grounded on an assertion that is detached from reality.
Concepts generally refer to given totalities (which could be one reason why the identist concept of identity may seem aloof.) The construction of concepts is related to method, not metaphysics. There is only one entirety, the totality of existence; there is only one primary part, self-sameness. Do platonic terms such as chairness and tableness have reference to reality? Not in a platonic sense. A chair does not possess chairness. This peculiar term, correctly defined nonetheless, does have validity. The term chairness refers to chair as a part of a greater whole. A room with a chair possesses chairness. The one thing that this terminology loses its validity when applied to is existence. There is no such thing as beingness. Things do not possess being. Being possesses all other things that exist. The tragic and sordid history of philosophy is filled with the embracing if beingness and the denial of self-sameness.
The purging of contradictions (i.e., the assertions of non-identity) is not philosophical McCarthyism. The axiom is the only ultimate standard of knowledge and the only one which is absolute. Once this absolute is established identism endorses epistemological pragmatism. Much that is found in epistemological philosophy may be overly exclusive, embracing dogmatically what maybe, within a certain context, ideal methodology. Such methodology, nonetheless does not represent the only means of acquiring knowledge and may prove unsuited for some intellectual pursuits. When such methodology falters the mystic is waiting to provide an alternative. Rigid epistemology may have the effect of stifling and evicting unconventional (i.e., creative) thinking that is necessary for theoretical advancement. Mysticism usurps ideas, and often there creators, caste aside by logic, to corrupt and call there own. Thought, perception, any meaningful idea (i.e., with reference to reality) achieves validity, if to the best of our knowledge, it can be reconciled with the axiom, even of it violates some methodological standard.
The mystic claims of some other means of awareness or some other kind of truth incomprehensible to reason is an attempt to escape this absolute standard creating a perpetual circle of uncertainty. Failing to acknowledge necessary truth always leads to dogma (i.e., the ascension of the unproved to the status of knowledge)" because half open eyes are better than blindness. Even the nihilist who contradicts himself by opening his mouth, will resort to dogma. Relativisms superficial opposition to dogma does not create openness. Note the not so well hidden two faced hypocrisy of the statement there are no absolutes. It could be amended to exclude itself, but then it reveals itself as dogma supported by nothing and refutable by the axiom.
In contrast with rational conviction, to hold a belief as such, is to embrace contradiction and therefore untruth. A belief is the implied contradiction and untruth of asserting the unknown as known. If one decided to hold the belief that there are little green men in outer space, one has adopted the contradiction of claiming knowledge or opinion without the justification of supporting evidence. This would remain a contradiction and untruth even if it so happened that there really are little green men in outer space. Guilty or innocent, a man would receive an unfair trial if he was convicted by prejudice rather than evidence. This exemplifies the fact that having explicit justification for our convictions is no trivial matter. Mysticism is not exonerated by embracing (or usurping) a few ideas that happen to be true, just as a lynch mob is not excused if it hangs someone who happens to be guilty.
The workings of the mind are often latent and not completely understood. We often have hunches or insight and are not explicitly aware of the underlining reasons. It is important to note that mystics do not hold a ligament monopoly on this intuitive mode. Such insight is not some unknowable mystic awareness outside the realm of reason and perception. If one has a hunch or insight, it is important to acknowledge it as such. One should strive for the intellectual rigor necessary to uncover the hidden reason behind such insight. It is often by this means that one can determine if a hunch has any claim to legitimacy. Without such rigor, all one has is baseless prejudice.
Armed with the first principle, it is with the most supreme confidence that humanity can face a challenging but knowable world. In contraposition, without this empowerment we can only face the mystics hell. Such is the theme of human history.

Good argument. 2 things (to start with) in response:
1. How, precisely, do you define "mysticism"?
2. Suppose that, with a great deal of effort, everything in the universe can be fully understood using reason as you define it. However, due to some quirk of language, only 90% can be explained. Furthermore, very few people have the patience to put make the effort necessary to understand on their own. Do you a) deny the existence of the other 10%, b) spend the rest of your days trying to explain the other 10% even though you know it's futile, c) try to instruct people on how they can figure out the last 10% for themselves, d) become an alcoholic, or e)other ?
Aug25-05, 06:00 PM
Mysticism, within the context of my philosophy, is the embracing of contradiction (i.e., non-identity); a contradiction is the assertion of non-identity. In an epistemological context it refers to the notion that knowledge can be grounded on something other that the principle of self-sameness.
Knowledge is not omniscience and 90% is overly optimistic, but to grasp the axiom is to know something about everything; all A is A!

Identity and Epistemology
Okay, just so you you know, I'm not trying to argue with you (at this point, anyway), just to make sure I understand what you're saying.
Your definition of "mysticism" is fine for here, but I think there are "No absolute truth" people who would deny that they're mystics, and mystics who would deny embracing contradiction.
Just to be clear, if I say "As far as I can tell, reason is, by its nature, incapable of telling me everything I want to know," but at the same time I reject any contradiction that I find and I agree that A is A, am I a mystic?
Maybe I'm missing the value of your point of view because it's so self-evident that I can't comprehend the opposing view?

Your philosophy (Originally Posted by W A Dunkley) sounds like phrases taken from Ayn Rand with no attribution ! These are not unique points of view that you present----
So, for example you state: "Our awareness and understanding of existence is ultimately derived from perception", and Ayn Rand writes "It is in the form of percepts that man grasps the evidence of his senses and apprehends reality".
You write, "Reason refers to all the mental function that process perceptions into concepts an ideas or any mental constructs"; Ayn Rand writes "Reason is the faculty that identifies and integrates the material provided by your senses".
You write, "The mystic claims of some other means of awareness or some other kind of truth incomprehensible to reason is an attempt to escape this absolute standard creating a perpetual circle of uncertainty". Ayn Rand writes "Mysticism is the acceptance of allegations without evidence of proof, either apart from or against the evidence of one's senses and one's reason"
The list of so-called "your" thoughts are in fact nothing more than rewrite of the Objectivist philosophy of Ayn Rand, and I for one find nothing original yet much lacking from the rigor of your definitions and positions taken.

Personally, I think Rand (and Dunkley) does a disservice to mystical thought with that statement. Magic would have been a better term. Rand assumes sense experience and reason are the only sources of knowledge available to humans, but there is another variety of thinkers who dispute that. Are you familiar with the class of mystical thinkers represented by Meister Eckhart, Brother Lawrence, Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, the "desert fathers", etc.?
Aug25-05, 11:08 PM

Yes, Ayn Rand was well aware of this type of mental integration of "realist-mystic" thought. These types of thinkers that you mention attempt to preserve the primacy of existence by denying the identity of consciousness. They make an attempt to convert concepts into perceptual concretes that can only be understood by the mind via intuition or supernatural means (e.g., mysticism). Here is what Rand wrote in answer to your post:
"The implicit, but unadmitted premise of the neo-mystics of modern philosophy, is the notion that only an ineffable consciousness can acquire a valid knowledge of reality, that "true" knowledge has to be causeless, i.e., acquired without any means of cognition". "To the [mystic]...the irreducible primary is the automatic phenomena of his own consciousness". "Mysticism is the claim to non-sensory, non-rational, non-definable, non-identifiable means of knowledge" By what means ? by means of "instinct", intuition", revelation" or some form of "just knowing". "Philosophically, the mystic is usually an exponent of the intrinsic (revealed) school of epistemology...psychologically, the mystic is a subjectivist who uses intrinsicism as a means to claim the primacy of his consciousness over that of others". --all quotes from "Ayn Rand: the Russian Radical", 1995, Chris M. Sciabarra, The Pennsylvania State University Press.
Needless to say, one is free to accept any theory of "knowledge" as being true, including "mysticism"--Ayn Rand rejects the approach of the mystic thinkers. You seem to imply in your post that the views of the mystics you cite somehow take logical priority over the position of Ayn Rand. So now I have a question, by what logical means do you think the mystics you cite are "in fact" correct in their thinking about knowledge, and Rand is "in fact" incorrect ?
Aug26-05, 12:08 AM
Who doesn't claim the primacy of his consciousness, at least implicitly, every time he opens his mouth?
The problem with denying the value, maybe even the primacy, of intrinsic knowledge is that there is nothing external which can prove to me that the rest of you aren't all figments of my imagination trying to drive me mad. I have to take that on faith (intrinsic knowledge).
In fact, it seems to me that if I don't grant primacy to my own non-sensory, non-rational, non-definable, non-identifiable means of knowledge (which for the sake of brevity I'll just call "me"), I basically have to let myself be led around by whoever can convince me they have the most knowledge, since I can never verify everything (anything?) for myself. That sounds like a raw deal. Why should I be Ayn Rand's lapdog?
I don't mean to imply that objectivists are lapdogs . . . but if they aren't, I'd wager they're relying on intrinsic knowledge a little more than they'd admit.
I might be inclined to dispute the whole "non-rational, non-identifiable, etc." definition of mysticism, but I'd have to explain it all to myself first, and the topic can be dreadfully confusing.

But is love really mystical to someone who is willing to feel? No. It is only mystical to those who insist reality has to be reduced to a concept for intellectual scrutiny.
Beyond the simple experience of love, there have been those (such as the people I listed earlier) who spent time turning inward to experience something inside themselves. That experience too has escaped the sort of precise definitons intellectuals are addicted to. So their choice is either to pretend they grasp it by some "profound" explanation, or to "dismiss" it altogether as illusory (as Rand does). In either case, since they've not undertaken to attempt the inner experience themselves, all their theories are nothing more, IMO, than self-serving guesses.
Aug26-05, 01:35 AM
I'll give 'em some more thought.
Aug26-05, 02:51 PM
The statement that sums up where my philosophy diverges from Ayn Rand and all other philosophy is:
"A true understanding of necessary truth and the claim to knowledge requires the acknowledgment that axioms assert the existence of self-sameness. The failure to acknowledge the existence of self-sameness will leave "knowledge" grounded on an assertion that is detached from reality."
My philosophy is centered around a thesis called the primacy of identity. AND IT MOST CERTAINLY IS a "unique point of view." I posted a presentation on this forum, but apparently it was deleted. I did engage Objectivists in the matter of this thesis. It can be found at:
(Please, click on full version for full text.)
It is also debated at:
(Please, click on full version for full text.)
I was particularly disappointed and appalled how they willingly reduced there argument to the absurdity: "a thing is not the same as itself."
Aug26-05, 03:46 PM
You find no meaning in the statement "A is A," but find meaning in the statement "This sentence is false."
Stating the point over briefly, To state that an assertion is true or false is to make an assertion about an assertion and the statement "this sentence is false" is one assertion to few. It is meaningless just as the statement "The dog is true," is meaningless. "The dog" asserts nothing! Again, meaning is a prerequisite for truth.

Now, if you're saying, "A consciousness must exist in order to exist," I don't disagree. Consider the possibility that we are saying the same thing in different words. But I would say that consciousness/existence exists independently of sensory input and concepts (not that sensory input and concepts are excluded; they're just not necessary.)
As far as "me" as the sum of non-sensory, non-rational, non-definable information--I'm neither information nor a sum, I am not made up of parts, and not reducible. I am a subject, not an object, and if you objectify me, you necessarily misunderstand. (Flip side of the coin: By trying to describe myself as an object, I necessarily mislead--I guess this is part of why the "non-rational" qualifier must be used).
It is this knowledge of myself-as-subject, for which I see no external evidence whatsoever, that I take to be the intrinsic knowledge Rand refers to in the quotes you gave earlier, and this is why I took issue with what she has to say.

Have made this 3 times now, and I'm very pleased with the result. First time i followed the recipe, second time I omitted the tequila, third time I used tomatillos instead of the tomatoes. I liked the last version the best. Great, deep, earthy flavor, not too picante. Now a family favorite :)
Shot-and-a-Beer Pork Stew
Photo: Annabelle Breakey; Styling: Randy Mon
Time: 3 3/4 hours. Tacolicious, a taco stand at San Francisco's Thursday Ferry Plaza Farmers Market, serves this braised pork in tacos, but owner Joe Hargrave also makes it at home as a fall stew. The chiles fall apart as the dish cooks, giving the meat a mellow, earthy spiciness.

Parking included, just a little tiny. Location is in walking dinstanance of the docks/piers/and so on.
Walk from downtown --> motel, not so safe, detour if you can!. Not so many place tot eat nearby if you don''t want fast food.
Easy walk to Civic Center.
Great wifi, location was not bad
Expensive, old fashion rooms,
The staff really nice and that's all I can really say.
No air conditioning, the pillows out and flat, the volume on the tv couldn't hear, the beds very uncomfortable, no clock, rooms need major major up dating and we found our room door open twice after the house keeping came in.
clean rooms, proper size, ok atmosphere, very well located.
very expensive for a basic accommodation, wifi sometimes a bit lame
location (close to an unpleasant neighborhood but not far from better ones and from many transportation options), parking
had to change room... twice. first room smelled of damp, second was allegedly a non-smoking room but you could tell someone had been smoking there, just from the smell
One way in one way out
room was prepaid on a credit card but I was made to pay a second time in cash when checking in.
Non smoking room but very bad smoking smell and left over cigarettes & lighter in the draw the heater doesnt work. Noisy and cold air only came out. The hot shower head/forcep was broken & can get burn easily... Very dangerous.....
Had to stay an additional day and staff was very accomodating at short notice. Secure and free parking delivered greater value for money.
Couldn't shower one day as hot water was not available (broken boiler), but this was no fault of the hotelier and we understood these things invariably happen from time to time. Repaired within the day, so we showered late in the evening. Couldn't fault anything else!
Friendly staff, airport shuttle service.
WiFi was poor in my room.
Great onsite parking, cute little central atrium and good price for the area
A bit on the grimy side
Staff. Everyone was very kind and nice.
Close to my seminar. Low cost for the non-tenderloin neighborhood. Feels secure and safe.
If you can't get on the WiFi remember to call to the front desk and have them reboot. I didn't figure that out till the 2nd day.
Courtyard, location, price
Receptionist are nice
There's smell in the room
It's basic, but good location for the price. Free parking.
Old furnishings. Dated rooms.
The night time staff was awsome and very helpfull!!!
The indoor hot tub(although it was out of order)
The TVswas small, no microwave/refrigerator or Wi-Fi, and the room had a weird smell. I also didn't. feel comfortable getting under the sheets.
Good budget hotel. Basic amenities. Free parking. Clean linens. Quiet. Close to bus lines. Location just right for our needs.
The hall way carpet could be better but not too important.
secure free parking included good value ice machine centrally located
sheets and blankets were thin rooms were loud from traffic and other guests
The location was great. We were able to walk a short distance to find almost anything we needed. Although our room was not clean when we got there, the hotel maid was very nice and friendly.
Out hotel room had dirty towels and the last person's dirty underwear in the bathroom! Parking was a nightmare. Cars just parked wherever they wanted even though there were no more spaces available. Not fun trying to get out. Another family was walled in and had to get the hotel staff to call the other guests to move their car.
How close we were to the concert. Fillmore
the overall design, the room, and the central atrium were all lovely

Twitter Cuts IFTTT's Balls Off
I just got an interesting form email from the CEO of IFTTT, which read, in part, as follows.
In recent weeks, Twitter announced policy changes* that will affect how applications and users like yourself can interact with Twitter's data. As a result of these changes, on September 27th we will be removing all Twitter Triggers, disabling your ability to push tweets to places like email, Evernote and Facebook.
*These Twitter policy changes specifically disallow uploading Twitter Content to a "cloud based service" (Section 4A https://dev.twitter.com/terms/api-terms) and include stricter enforcement of the Developer Display Requirements (https://dev.twitter.com/terms/display-requirements ).
IFTTT is a fantastic service that basically allows you to connect any online service to any another with what they call "receipes." Lately, recipes for taking your tweets and sending a copy of them to App.net have sprung up.
Twitter is likely taking this action against IFTTT to prevent users from sending their own tweets to this service, which is kind of a dick move, but one I've been expecting since I saw the first ADN recipe.
It's certainly the kind of move we've come to expect from Twitter.
Golf clap.

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens is brought to life at MCPL. Join us Tuesday, November 29th, 7:00 p.m. at Blue Springs North Branch as David zum Brunnen portrays the 17 Christmas Carol characters and Dickens himself. A favorite for all ages, this excellent performance rings in the Christmas cheer as we hear from Ebenezer Scrooge, Tiny Tim, Mr. Fezzwig, Bob Cratchit, and the four Ghosts of Christmas, just to name a few.

As the holiday season quickly approaches, I find myself thinking about what to get for my grandchildren. One of the things I always include in my gift giving for them is a book. I started this tradition many years ago when my first grandchild was born.
Christmas is the only holiday that I really enjoy. I REALLY get into it. This year, I bought a new 6.5 foot pre-lit tree, new ornaments, tree topper star, tree skirt, and (personalized) stockings. I was ready to put it all up a week before Thanksgiving. I dragged out all of my older Christmas decorations, went through my ornaments, and selected what I wanted to keep to put on my new tree.
"I'm going to find the answer to a question that's puzzled the world for centuries. Does Santa Claus sleep with his whiskers outside or in?"
"Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?"
What is your favorite Christmas movie? You know the one that you have to watch every year or it is not Christmas.
December 6 is the official start of Christmas in our home. That is when trees go up, decorations come out, and presents get put under the tree for the children to drool over. And why, you ask, is it such a random day like the 6th of December? Well, actually it's not random at all; December 6th is St. Nicholas Day
Join us at the library for a special Christmas performance by students from the Lawson High School Select Choir. These young and talented singers will be at the Excelsior Springs Branch to sing holiday carols and share the Christmas spirit. The performance will be on Thursday, December 15 at 2:30 pm.

Hark! how the bells, sweet silver bellsAll seem to say, throw cares away.Christmas is here, bringing good cheer...
In this busy season, although maybe you don't have tons of free time, take advantage of the occasional opportunity to read a story with your kids or enjoy a movie with your family. Your library has Christmas books, movies, and also Christmas music to elevate the mood and help you celebrate. The best part is all of these materials are available for FREE from the library. The gift of time with family reading stories, watching movies, and listening to music is worth much more than any gift money can buy. Merry Christmas!
Have you finished decorating for Christmas? You can tell a lot about a person by looking at their Christmas tree. There are those whose efforts look like something out of a decorator's magazine, and those that are obviously a project for the whole family. Neither is true at our house. I put up at least two full-sized trees (artificial, since I'm allergic to the real ones) each year, mostly by myself.

The final chapter. Well I hope that people enjoy reading it and please tell me if you spot any glaring errors, which of course there will be many.
"Will they be okay?" Elena asked feeling disgusted with the mess they were all in.
"Yes." Rufus said not daring to think of another answer.
Rufus ShinRa stepped in to the hot shower in the penthouse and slide against the tiled wall. The adrenaline gone he knew he was shaking. His two best Turks were laid out and they had barely come through it and what the hell was that place? When he stepped out and felt like a human being again he put on a fresh suit and dismissed the two waiting Turks. Rude headed home to change and get to the hospital and Elena did the same but wrote Vincent's number in to her phone book with a smile.
When Tseng woke up the President was sat in the chair watching him and had a book which he seemed quite engrossed in. Tseng wondered if he was destined to spend most of his life in hospitals or Healing Lodge due to Sephiroth or his relatives.
"I can see you are awake." Rufus said peering over his book. "So stop being polite. How are you?"
"Shit." He answered honestly but sat up anyway. "Sorry to scare you Sir."
"Tseng…" Rufus sighed. "I was scared I would loose my Turk and best friend." He said softly. "I hope you feel better soon."
"Thank you Rufus." Tseng nodded. "So are you reading more shitty romance borrowed from Reno?"
"Oh no this is," he turned and checked the title, "something about organised crime."
"Sounds pleasant." Tseng chuckled and winced in pain. "How is my second in command?"
"I think he's in surgery right now." Rufus nodded. "They wanted to try and sew up the cuts and a few things."
"I see." Tseng nodded. "Rude better look after him then."
"I'm sure he will." Rufus stood up. "I'm going to check on any news. Would you like me to bring you anything?"
"A good stiff whisky?"
"Nice try." Rufus laughed and headed out to see Elena. She followed him silently behind and Rufus could see she was concerned and holding it in. he turned to her and pulled her in to a hug. "Thank you Elena."
"Just doing our job Sir." She smiled but hugged him back. "They said Tseng can go home tomorrow and no work for a couple of weeks okay?"
"He's staying in bed if I have to strap him down myself." Rufus nodded as they headed towards the ward reception.
"He'd probably like that." She joked and watched as Rude stood outside Reno's door. He nodded to Rufus as they approached. "How is Reno?"
"Talking so fine." Rude said a hint of a smirk.
"Why don't they take his voice box?" Rufus quipped and opened the door. "Hey Reno. We're out and home. Feels good right?"
"Yo boss." He sat up and nodded. "Did you find out any more about it?"
"Actually yes." He nodded and pulled out his palm top. "Have a read when you are ready. The eggheads as you put it said that the portal to the other world was opened up by some disruption in our atmosphere. It was probably a fall out from all the fighting over the last ten years. All the death and destruction brought about by it has just prompted unease and that town appears to be the epitome of despair."
"Pleasant." Reno nodded listening to his boss. "So it's done with now right? I mean no more scrambling about in blood or… reliving old nightmares?"
"I would hope so." The President nodded and stood back up. He heard a noise outside and looked back to see Reno's little boy pulling Rude's jacket and harassing him. "I think there is someone here that wants to see you."
"Oh great…" Reno imagined a sexy nurse this time, not one of those faceless monsters.
"Daddy Leno!" Izhi ran through the door.
"Damn it." Reno muttered but smiled anyway.
"Guess things are back to normal." Rufus nodded as the toddler clambered up over him. "Hello young man."
"Hi. Did you kill stuff? Did I get any presents?" The toddler grinned.
Things were back to normal as they could.

Vick takes a knee after being hit.
It's easy to make too much of a preseason game, even one that everyone acknowledges is the last real dress rehearsal before the regular season gets underway. The Eagles are still working out the kinks, and sometimes a poor practice can lead to a fabulous opening night.
At least, that's what everyone tells me. At the risk of being that insane moron who draws too many conclusions from a glorified scrimmage against the Patriots, let me highlight the main things that stuck out from the Eagles second preseason test:
The Good
The Bad

By Jennifer Emert - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – An inside look at the mindset of at least of some of the Dougherty School Board Members in their search for a superintendent.
A telling e-mail from board member James Bush states the search is for a superintendent who will be a follower, not a leader. It's a stunning revelation that could perhaps explain why the board bypassed more qualified candidates and chose Joshua Murfree for the job.
Since a media lawsuit forced the board to release information on the other finalists for the job. We've discovered that several highly qualified candidates applied for the position, candidates with much more experience that Joshua Murfree.
So these discoveries raise even more questions about Murfree's selection and the e-mails possibly hold some answers.
Among the 37 school superintendent candidates were six superintendents, five assistant superintendents, several principals and consultants, but board members selected Joshua Murfree, who has no K-through-12 experience.
Since the day his selection was announced, board members who voted for him, have all but run from reporters and still refuse to talk to us. Now, using Georgia's Open Records law, we've obtained e-mails they sent to each other and they speak volumes.
In this December 15, 2009 e-mail to the board chairman, board member James Bush wrote quote, "We need someone who is dependable, someone who is proud of doing steady, consistent work, and leader who is content to follow rather than lead."
A surprising job description for the person who will be at the helm of Dougherty County Schools. Bush denies he's even sent e-mails, and didn't provide any under the open records request. Neither would Dr. Anita Williams Brown, Milton Griffin, or Velvet Riggins.
But Bush's comments showed up in e-mail threads between him and board chairman David Maschke.
"I sent letters twice to various members of the board three members responded and I disclosed that," said Tommy Coleman, DCSS Board Attorney.
James Bush wouldn't come to the door of his home Friday or return our phone calls. Job finalist Joshua Murfree won't talk about the superintendent search either.
"You won't comment at all on the school board or why you were a good candidate?" we asked him Friday at Albany State.
Murfree removed his microphone and shook his head no.
Now that the lawsuit we filed has been settled and dismissed, the board will ask the six candidates interviewed if their names can be released.
"Those people will have to be contacted, they'll have an opportunity to withdraw, if they do withdraw their names will not be disclosed if they do go on and decide to be candidates their information will be disclosed," said Coleman.
That information should be available next week. Among the items released, will be any information those candidates submitted to the board, that includes, resumes, applications, and any other information the board obtained.
Once that information is released, board members must wait 14 days before officially hiring a candidate. If the top candidate is still Joshua Murfree they will need to take one more vote to officially appoint him to the position of Superintendent.

Runner-up: Samsung Series 9
The Samsung Series 9 was the first Windows-based laptop to challenge the MacBook Air in terms of looks as well as performance. The judges loved the sleek lines of the 13.3in Series 9, made from an aluminium alloy called Duralumin, but some felt the screen quality of the laptop was a disappointment. However the Series 9 scored well for connectivity, build quality and design only narrowly missing out on top spot.

How do I delete plugins?Applies to: Navigator and Communicator (all versions)
Operating Systems: Windows 3.x, Windows 95, and Windows NT
Problem: "How do I delete plugins I don't need anymore?"
Solution: First check to see if the plugin has an uninstall program. In Windows 3.x, look for an uninstaller in the program group the plugin's installer created, if any. In Windows 95 and NT 4.0, look both in the Start Menu and in the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel. If the plugin has an uninstaller, you should always use it rather than the manual method described below.
If the plugin doesn't have an uninstaller, you will need to manually remove it. First, click Help | About Plugins, which will display a list of installed plugins. Locate the plugin you want to remove, then note the path to the plugin DLL's filename. An example entry might look like this:
My Old Plugin
File name: C:\Netscape\Navigator\Program\plugins\npoldplug32.dll
Netscape Navigator Plug-in for My Program
Take note of the path (C:\Netscape\Navigator\Program\plugins\npoldplug32.dll), then exit Netscape, open File Manager or Windows Explorer, and go to the plugin directory and either delete the DLL file (in this example npoldplug32.dll) or, if you merely wish to disable it, rename it to npoldplug32.old or similar. To re-enable it, rename it back to npoldplug32.dll.
When you restart Netscape, the plugin will no longer be active.

Hello, excuse my english, I'm spanish:
Well, this is puzzling, I do not know what wrong with the alignment of the mount goto, last night after trying several configurations of alignment of stars, which finally worked well was a three-Antares-Cor Caroli Deneb (METI all objects near the center of a field Ethos 8mm to 150X). But there's something you do not understand, and I do not let the stars I want to select, for example, in the early hours of the night, I chose two stars for alignment with Antares, but I showed Vega star second option, simply omitted from the list of eligible.
Of course I do not know what criteria used in selecting the frame of the stars of alignment or as a hit, because it gives ma alignments as well, but the goto is not nothing finer. The parameters of coordinates correct +01:00 time zone, daylight saving time, and yes. Getting the station with Polar mount correctly and fairly level. I reiterate what was said, finally, after several tests always give a combination that works, but elsewhere it is clear that there is a bug or something that I have in mind.
Any idea?
