Review: Insane rage of Krieg at its rawest, with no introductory material or relenting in this surprisingly melodic demonic chant metal featuring raw-throated suicidal screams that leave no flesh hanging where vocal cords once stood, demonstrates concept at a level below the conscious mind. Riffs ride a rhythm until there is dissonance in continuation and then explode into fragmentary attacks that break by theme, with each theme mirrored in riff and vocals through the replicative pairing of ideas forming the basic concept of paradox behind the song. Unexpectedly brilliant is the fusion of death metal riffs with black metal melodic drive that gives some strength to verse passages.

War the metaphor, the topic eclipses karmic interaction for broader statements of being. As an epic emptiness engulfs humanity the ideals and raw will to commit such unbalanced and direct material to digits as expressed sensu Krieg exhibit the heroic ideals of prevalence of ideal against obstacles including the tedium of musical knowledge and refinement, forming something as vital as the hardcore underground once was through generation of logic in the unthinkable and vitally alienated music that this is. While some pieces wander into Wagnerian juxtaposition collage of emotional symbols, the strength of this music is in the heartpump of throbbing dissonance in framework boundaries within song structure through tone-centric progression establishment via relevance in rhythm, a knighthood of subconscious descent beneath the conscious and its discursive storm of dead static chaos flooding us with guilt, doubt, self-reflective ego paranoia and other traits of the Judeo-Christian thought empire.
Rawness in production and explosively minimal but gracefully, connectedly vital sound, pulses in the infrastructure of conflicts that form the alleys and catacombs of a switching system, directing the flow of user attention through a framework of ideas that strike or stimulate and catch us up in their evolutionary appeal. As most American black metal degenerates into footballish Motorhead/death metal fusion bands the growth of bands such as Krieg who maintain the raw edged dedication to minimalist and alienist riffing in the style of Profanatica, Beherit or Sarcofago is fuel for further growth in blackmetal, a framework of continuation upon which some surviving clueful can also build.
Kult ov Azazael:
Working urgency and brief melody into a blasting death metal polemic with the forward aggression of black metal in a delivery that brings out the basic grindcore influences in underground metal, with driving scream crashing into a relapsed death metal structural crossover and then suspended, double-hit muffled gallop progression into oblivion, Kult ov Azazel grind into melody with aggression. For the most part it is reasonably convincing.

Majesty in churning noise of rippingly aggressive guitar strumblast and percussion dancing with the light feet of a spearman before hurling the missile of rushing musical impulse through structure on the edge of disintegration, interpreted in the aesthetic sense of underground metal from the Eastern U.S., Krieg is charging chaos which captures the grandest nihilism of black metal in spirit and undefinable "edge" qualities best cited as the inspired paranoia of improvisation. Roaring between Profanatica-styled ultra-minimalism and larger interactive structures resembling Darkthrone-styled black metal or the more advanced doom/death from North America, this band expand a lexicon of textures in shredding, decomposing, often instrumentally disintegrating expansions which conquer space and time with linear modal overlays and raw chromatic detonation soaking the entire work in the nihilistic, empty, commanding world of black metal.
Review: Levelled to the ground, Krieg is what occurs when humans thrust their indescribable psyche into making cryptic but resonantly familiar and natural music, creating often improvisationally to render power chords and noise into a flowing continuity of sound. In this compilation of early and eBay-inflated rarities what shows most of the Krieg mythos is its obsession with making an alienated pop music to fill the void with careless yet comprehensively synthesized sonic shapes of metaphorical and thematic significance, synergizing elements of radiant similarity to render around the listener a cloak of suspension of disbelief and all social law above primal opposition.

Like a flaring of noise in distant catacombs the roar of guitar guides each song into its passages and intersections, suspended in the forward urgency of throatshaking drumming and achieving a momentum through connective ingenuity which deepens immersion in the symbols and fragments of mapping that Krieg use to create riff families. Themes blossom and decay amidst the constant hollow explosion muffled like the existence of humans in a technological society, allowing the voice to emerge and twist emphasis at junctures to maintain its dark aura.
Vocalizations ranging from the most civilized scream to a primitive, undogmatized shriek form the visible solidity of this music, placing complex and often improvised passages into a context of texture and tonal suggestion which anchors them and allows their developmental contributions to augment the music. Chord voicings vary to the dissonant at essential points and black metal power strum technique fuses harmony to central narrative. While interludes populate this disk, its intensity is enough to keep attention to music throughout.
As black metal was born, partly of artistic impulse of the highest intent and partly of a corrupt put-on like genre namers Venom, Krieg is a surging organic chaos of varying merits and strengths which when at full vitality spews its disgust with rancid vocals and pugilistic stringed mayhem. Its world once entered projects an epic of noble intensity rising from the mundane disorder and conflict populating the subconscious landscape of human knowledge.
Review: This age with its endless stream of media and soundbites tells us of the insecurity and meaninglessness of our surroundings, yet it leaves unaddressed the question of the spirit of the individual seeking growth over the secure but suffocating modern techno-reality. From the firestorm of existential angst one might expect such parlayers of mortality to experience, the musical entity known as Krieg emerges with the most focused and listenably shaped album yet.
Where previous efforts eschewed structure for raw rhythm and texture, on this album songwriting has been trimmed to fit discernibly cyclic patterns and conclusive individual expressions tapering off into darkness of silence. Far from under control, the roaring vocals of Imperial stretch phrases and alter rhythms as pleasing the master of corruption who guides each song with a majestic sense of timbre and newly, tone. Sliding a few more notes into the range of each sentence this vocalist lashes out with horror complemented on its more irrational side by chaotic melody.

Although no edge has been lost on fiery and vengeful songs, the effect of careful shaping has produced a delivery that at first seems subtler than previous efforts, but over time reveals itself to be of a more focused dynamic to allow songs to speak for themselves. Of note for its anchoring of the musical chain is the drummer who here balances a need for numbing hypnotic consistency with a desire for variation inherent to all musicians. These songs, mostly of an older and revised nature, ratchet the mind into the morbid sense of darkness that appealed on earlier black metal, of the first album Immortal or Graveland era.
While Krieg have been active since "Rise of the Imperial Hordes" in 1997, the gnarled and morbid nature of this music in maturity has a higher density of idea and greater consequence of aesthetic, showing a band who have been stalwarts of the underground in the growth of their success. It is well-deserved as all material of this band has consistently reinforced their concept of the will unleashed, and the individual over a dying and conceptually bankrupt world. While most material in the black metal style is as of 2001 generic, Krieg remains a rare exception for the unrelenting pursuit of a certain truth with a hatred and vigor that baffles normals.
Production: Full and resonant with analog levels of room sound and bleed.
Review: That black metal became a form of indie rock surprises few, since black metal first hybridized with basic punk, and indie emerged from punk; ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny -- however, Krieg reverses the path with The Isolationist by going back to the influences of original black metal even while adopting a thoroughly post-rock aesthetic, like Jesu trying to re-envision Blasphemy.
Compositionally possessing more in common with early electronic body music (EBM) and synthpop than the melange of indie rock and modern hardcore that is most "post-rock," this album creates vast spaces out of plodding beats and melodic hooks using dissonant chords and as few notes as possible. Riffs are atmospheric by the nature of strumming chords in in blocks to achieve a transition significant in the harmonic context of the song, adopting technique but not songwriting style from atmospheric rock like Velvet Underground or 13th Floor Elevators and modern hardcore like Integrity or Neurosis.
The metal craft of sculpting phrasal riffs and gluing them together in extended grammars as a result appears less here because as in very slow doom or post-metal, riffs are here to fill time with resonant sound, not make phrases out of it; however, the result is a slow building intensity of noise built around the kind of black metal pop that Krieg pioneered with "Cold Wind Flame" and other songs that bind the blistering and the catchy. The result sweeps up all of the charged potential in its atmosphere and funnels it through a memorable phrase, burning it in our heads like an electroshock meme.
By finding a balance between the raw chaos and a desire to make more hummable songs through applying the techniques of post-rock in a more significant context, Krieg finds its healthiest direction since the live album in that these songs fit together smoothly and sustain atmosphere without falling into directionless repetition. Were the influences of post-metal/post-rock removed, we might see this album as a more mature version of the first neo-improv Krieg release, Rise of the Imperial Hordes.

"The Handmaidens' Own Little Kallaia: Ryoo Naberrie"0 Reviews
TITLE: "The Handmaidens' Own Little Kallaia: Ryoo Naberrie" PAIRING: Ryoo is approximately not quite six through about nine and a fourth years of age during the Clone Wars era, folks (she wa...
01.) Hero: Obi-Wan Kenobi has been her hero her entire life, and it never ceases to thrill and amaze her, to realize that he is, by right of honor, essentially a part of their extended family.
02.) Grave: Naboo erected a monument to the heroes of the invasion that includes Qui-Gon Jinn, and (for Obi-Wan's sake) she visits it as often as she can, bringing flowers to leave, incense to burn, and handmade prayer flags and wheels, as one might do to beautify a beloved's grave.
03.) Repent: It is her opinion that not all the genuine repentance in the world can make up for some crimes (even if the one doing the repenting makes offerings of proper reparation), but then, she's been told often enough that she's too fierce to've ever made a good Jedi, so perhaps she shouldn't be surprised that Mamaithryn (who is almost Jedi-like, in her ability to love and to forgive) thinks her a little bit bloodthirsty, when it comes to the kind of punishment she'd like to see meted out to proven traitors and deliberately evil beings.
04.) Change: Da'mâth Jobal says that losing her first two children changed Sola and that Ryoo and Pooja need to be aware of this and make allowances for her, but Ryoo's old enough to have clearer memories of Mother, and the truth is that she started changing noticeably in the year leading up to the war.
05.) Power: If Ryoo had the kind of power that the Team commands, between them, she'd tell the Jedi High Council to blow it out their collective ear and go hunt down that second Sith Lord, whether Palpatine or Yoda or anyone else wants them to or not!
06.) Glory: It isn't that she's foolish enough to believe that battles or fighting is glorious – she's seen enough of the aftermath of battle to know there's a lot more needless suffering and dying than any kind of glory involved – but she is realistic enough to know that some folks are just downright cruel and others are thoughtless enough that they'll hurt others and not care about it and not stop, either, unless someone else makes them, and she'd prefer to be one of those people who stops the bad ones and keeps them from doing more evil.
07.) Bitter: Her mother is unsurprisingly bitter about the Trade Federation's invasion and (not brief enough) occupation of Naboo and the fact that those most responsible received little more than slaps on the wrists, but her adulation of Palpatine is a lot less understandable, to Ryoo, considering he didn't actually do anything until it was already all over.
08.) Smiles: Mamaithryn has the most beautiful smile, and she never smiles so widely or so happily as when she's speaking of Obi-Wan Kenobi and the news is not dire, and it's that which tips Ryoo off to the fact that her aunt loves the Bendu Master, long before Da'mâth Jobal thinks to try to explain it to her.
09.) Her: Her fondest dream is to be trained up as a Jedi by some renegade Master (like Djinn Altis) and to do something so marvelous that the Jedi Order has to accept her, as an actual real Knight, but she'll settle for just keeping her little sister alive and safe and happily working, and be content enough with her lot in life, if it comes down to that.
10.) Heart: Pooja is her responsibility and she takes her duty as her little sister's protector very seriously, so much so that /Mamaithryn/'s handmaidens refer to her as a handmaiden-in-training, and, even though she smiles to hear the nickname, privately, she brands that title and all of the work and responsibilities and privileges that go along to it deep into her heart.
11.) Escape: There are some days when she daydreams about escape, for she'd like to gather up her family (including Aeshtaúr Bail and Bendu Master Kenobi and even his troubling Padawan) and flee until they find a place that the war has not touched, but she knows Mamaithryn and Pooja would never be happy and how she could ever get Athro Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to agree to go is entirely beyond her, and so she usually doesn't dwell on such useless fancies for very long.
12.) Rose: Mamaithryn Dormé says she's a Naberrie rose – beautiful to look upon and sweet to the senses, but possessing razored thorns to strike down the unwary – and Ryoo can never quite decide if this is a compliment or not.
13.) Heart: Her heart belongs to her family and her duty, and she at once has no more room for any other individual and room enough to enfold the whole of the galaxy there, a fact that used to puzzle her immensely until Mamaithryn Padmé explained the Jedi notion of infinite compassion to her while relating it to their rules forbidding personal attachments.
14.) Bleed: When Pooja's little friend is slain in some senseless terrorist attack on Theed on the second-year anniversary of the Battle of Geonosis, her heart bleeds for her sister, though she cannot help but think that it might be for the best (and certainly kinder) that the relationship will have no chance to go any further than it has, considering how much Daddy still loves and pines for Mamaithryn Padmé.
15.) Crimson: She finds it ironic that the color crimson is considered the color of courage by Nabooians, considering how very like to the color of newly spilled blood it is, and wonders if there are other similarly curiously fitting explanations for the meanings of certain colors in traditional garb, just waiting for anyone who's willing to put a little thought into it to discover.
16.) Pain: She's not afraid of pain so much as she's afraid of failing to protect her sister, and so she trains and trains and trains until the handmaidens for the newly elected Queen only half laughingly begin to refer to her as their own little Kallaia (Kallaia being both famous and infamous for her bloody war of attrition against the smugglers and pirates who thought to take Naboo over as their own private little heavenly stronghold, back in the aftermath of the Jedi Civil War and the Second Sith Civil War, before Naboo was officially made a part of the Galactic Republic).
17.) Relax: She used to relax, when the handmaidens were with them, but after Khandra and Bóanca were killed defending them and then Shmé took a blaster bolt and a knock to the head meant for Pooja, she stopped feeling completely safe anywhere that's out in the open and away from the Naberrie home (the one place no one has ever tried to attack, perhaps knowing how fiercely and constantly it is guarded).
18.) Lover: When she first finds out that Mamaithryn has taken a lover, her first instinct is to rejoice that the distance between Padmé and Mamaithryn Sabé has been bridged, but then she discovers that Padmé has instead secretly handfasted Anakin Skywalker (of all people!), and her joy all turns swiftly to a horror of dread and disappointment.
19.) Without: It's hard to put any kind of spin on Padmé's actions (regarding Anakin Skywalker, who for pity's sake was still only a Padawan at their handfasting) that will make them seem more acceptable without completely ignoring the reality of the inevitable awful consequences Mamaithryn has called down on herself, but for Pooja's sake (as well as her own, for she still adores/ Mamaithryn/, even if she fears that Padmé has taken all leave of her senses), she tries.
20.) Imagine: She tries to imagine what the world, the galaxy, will be like, when the war is finally over, but all she can see when she closes her eyes is a veil of gathering darkness, like the kind that gathers in the sky before a violent storm, and she fears what might be coming, now, is going to be even worse than the war, though what could be worse she has a hard time imagining.
21.) Child: When feeling particularly macabre, she wonders if it hurt her mother more to lose the first baby or the second one, but her morbidity doesn't quite extend far enough to actually ask, though she desperately wishes she had the courage enough to demand to know what it was that could have hurt Sola so much, before the Clone Wars, to make her change so much again.
22.) Banned: They banned her from the training salles for two weeks, when she broke three bones in the left arm and leg of a sloppy trainer, but Lyxé took her aside and promised to start teaching her the far more dangerous and demanding art of blade dancing, if she promised not to tell her father or mother about it (since apparently Da'mâth Jobal and Mamaithryn Padmé and her other honorary aunts all thought she was ready for the training, but feared to upset her parents with the idea), and so she never even got a chance to finish her first protest before she became entirely too busy to spare the thought or energy for a good complaint.
23.) Grin: She got an honest-to-Goddess, ear-to-ear genuine grin out of Athro Kenobi, once, when she answered a comm call for Mamaithryn and got to talk to him for almost ten minutes before Mamaithryn could get out of another call for him, and she still has to blink, to drive away the lingering after-effect of light-dazzle, from the remembered smile.
24.) Pattern: There are patterns to things – defense, offense, tactics – that are a joy to her and her analytical mind, no matter what their seeming complexity, and Lyxé begins to speak, only half jokingly, of making her the supreme commander of their armed guard, but she has a hard time believing other people can't see and understand the same patterns of vulnerability and strength – at light right up until the time she beats Lyxé in their first dejarik match.
25.) Imprint: The kind of imprint left behind by the solid blow of a square hit by a training blade is a lot more difficult to camouflage than the various little generally far more spread out bumps and bruises and occasional abrasions caused by hand-to-hand defensive combat; thankfully, though, her mother and father both are so often gone (Sola doing whatever it is that she does, when she goes on her retreats, and Daddy off at the Dala City site, working) that they spend the majority of their time with either Da'mâth Jobal or Dama'mâthair'cairdha Thule, and so no one notices, whenever she happens to get one, who'll make a true fuss about it.
26.) Cost: Pooja is good at wrestling with more abstract concepts, like the moral and ethical cost of war and the danger of making peace or of winning at any cost, and that's why she knows that her little sister will make a far better Queen or Senator than she ever could, even if she's equally sure that she'd be at least as good as (if not better than) most other currently possible choices for the offices who aren't already in service to the current Queen or Senator.
27.) Calculate: She tried to calculate the true cost of the war, once, by estimating the total number of lives that have been lost (based on how many Naboo has lost with each attack and estimating, given certain similarities of attacks and population densities in areas of battle and reported lists of casualties from other engagements, the numbers of lives lost by other worlds touched by the war), but gave up after she passed the billion mark with only a fourth of the known battlefields accounted for in her equations, too horrified by the numbers she was arriving at to continue with her calculations.
28.) Gasp: Once, when she was very, very small, she discovered quite unexpectedly that her father was in love with her Mamaithryn by virtually walking in on him when he was in bed and, well . . . doing that thing that adults do, when alone and fantasizing about the ones they love (and making enough noise at it to cover the soft sound of her gasp of shock and the noise her bare feet made on the floor, as she fled back to her bedroom, completely forgetting the glass of water she'd wanted help getting), and the feeling of breathtakingly sudden enlightenment, when she realizes that Aeshtaúr Bail is as in love with Athro Kenobi as Mamaithryn or Mamaithryn Sabé is,is both as unexpected and as absolutely irrefutable.
29.) Benevolence: She's not surprised so many people love Bendu Master Kenobi – he is, after all, grace and benevolence and serenity and beauty and light made flesh, in a way that dazzles her constantly with the reflection of love and power radiating from the Great Lady onto him and so refracting out to others – but it amazes her how blind the man seems to be to his own sense of appeal, and wonders if that's maybe a Jedi Master thing or just part of what makes Obi-Wan Obi-Wan (and rather suspects it is the latter).
30.) Nightmare: Ever since she first found out about the secret handfasting between him and Mamaithryn/, she's had dozens of nightmares about /Aeshtaúr Skywalker being engulfed and eaten alive by some monstrous black /thing /that then goes about riding his body and doing hideous things, and only the absolute certainty that Obi-Wan would find a way to free him from such a state, no matter what it might take, is enough to keep her from sobbing in fear every single time the night terror returns.
31.) Angel: When Daddy calls her his fierce little angel or Mamaithryn declares Pooja her angel or compassion or she hears about how newly Knighted Aeshtaúr Skywalker calls Padmé his angel of deliverance, her first response isn't pride in herself or pleasure for another but rather to wonder, wistfully, if there's a rule that bans angels from having any angels of their own, and if it's just a general rule of thumb that might be avoided, if one is very careful, or if it's an actual sacrifice required of the angelic position.
32.) Teddy: She stopped sleeping with a cuddly toy the year Pooja was born, because she wanted to be considered grown up enough to take care of her baby sister and, why she missed her stuffed animals, she also soon came to believe that being the one whose bed would get regularly snuck into for comfort and protection against night terrors and other worries more than made up for the loss of any inanimate plush toy.
33.) Failure: The thought of failure frightens her a lot more than the threat of pain, some days, and only Pooja is able to get her out of the training rooms where she practices her katas, just as some days she's the only one capable of getting Pooja to come away from her books and political treatises to make sure she remembers to eat and sleep.
34.) Sigh: Knight Skywalker told her once (with that crooked little half smirk of his that isn't quite an honest grin) that his former Master considers there to be an almost meditatively cleansing aspect to a good long heartfelt sigh, but that he rather preferred the kind of release that came of a good full-throated scream, instead, and, much as she hates to admit it, she rather thinks she prefers Anakin's method of seeking calm than Obi-Wan's.
35.) Overdose: A trainee in the Queen's handmaiden program being threatened with harm to her family if she didn't turn traitor took a technically honorable (if cowardly and criminally uninformative) way out of the situation by deliberately taking an overdose of sleeping pills: she and Shmé were the ones to find her, but Shmé swore not to reveal that Ryoo had been there to anyone but the Queen, and Ryoo's never told anyone – either about what she saw, or the seductively peaceful look of relieved joy on the dead girl's face.
36.) Saviour: She thinks it's ridiculous (and unrealistic and unhealthy), the way the Jedi High Council carries on as though Anakin Skywalker is some kind of savior, given his (presumed) status as the Chosen One, while utterly failing to acknowledge the fact that he'd likely be unable to save anyone at all (least of all himself) if he didn't have Obi-Wan's strength and compassion and loving support to draw on, and she can tell that Pooja thinks pretty much the same thing, but she doesn't want to hurt the young Knight's feelings any more than Pooja apparently does, and so they both keep their silence on the subject.
37.) Epitome: She finds it depressingly ironic (if fitting) that she's so much more like Anakin than Obi-Wan, for if Obi-Wan is the epitome of the perfect Jedi Bendu, Anakin just as perfectly embodies just about everything that the Jedi are not and that they eschew because of their Code.
38.) Syringe: The sight of that syringe plunging towards her little sister is enough to have her a heartbeat away from drawing her throwing knives and taking the bastard bounty hunter wielding it out/, signal from Lyxé to wait or no, and it's a damned good thing that Shmé shoots when she does, because otherwise she would've had no choice but to defy a clear order from the /aónes dævítru eisharti to wait.
39.) Mask: She doesn't necessarily approve of the idea of a ruler's mask, but she has to admit that she never could have given such a calm and literally empty accounting of the attack to their father as Pooja manages, so she supposes that perhaps those masks are good for something after all, since they get spared another parental melt-down and series of unrealistic lectures.
40.) Light: When she was very young, her mother's form used to shine in her mind as though limed with light, and it bothers her, in an increasingly difficult to dismiss manner, that this sense of light has not only been eclipsed in recent years but has, more and more, been replaced with an increasingly dark and insidious pall of all but palpable darkness.
41.) Angst: It isn't any sense of childish pouting or adolescent angst that drives her sometimes to retreat to her room and look the doors, but rather an intensely urgent need for just a little bit of space where she can stop worrying (about her family, about her friends, about her planet, about the galaxy) and just simply take a little while to merely /be/.
42.) Loss: In her darker moments, she's fairly certain that the loss of her first two children destroyed everything in her mother that truly made her Sola Naberrie and that the rest of her body just hasn't caught on enough to the fact to have had the decency to lay down and die, but she tries to avoid thinking such dire thoughts, for they make her feel such a strange mix of sorrow and impotent rage and guilt that it drives her to distraction.
43.) Wrapper: She snatches the wrapper up on the fly, throwing it on over her bedclothes and running for Pooja's room, determinedly ordering her, "Stay in there!" before shoving her back inside, slamming the door shut behind her and bolting the lock, before dashing for the stairs, blaster in one hand and blade in the other, determined to be ready for whatever it might be that's brought someone to the Naberrie door, pounding like a mad thing to be let in.
44.) Christmas: The rest of the galaxy is celebrating like Winter Fete has come early this year, certain that the defeat of the Separatists at Coruscant means that the war is nearly over, but the whole of Naboo is essentially in mourning, waiting for word on whether or not their beloved Senator and former Queen has survived the battle or not.
45.) Flicker: The thought flickers across her mind that she should have expected this, should have seen it coming, but somehow she never thought that their Mamaithryn would become a casualty of war, not with so many good people guarding her and all of the narrow escapes she'd managed to pull off, over the years.
46.) Glimmer: There's a glimmer in Pooja's eyes that she recognizes, and knows she's had the same semi-traitorous thought – that perhaps /Mamaithryn/'s death is for the best, all things considered – and so she reaches out and enfolds her in a tight hug, hoping to reassure her (as she cannot quite manage to reassure herself) that everything will turn out alright in the end and that thinking such things doesn't make her a bad person, only a realistic one.
47.) Bells: She's been working on an intricately beaded prayer wheel for Mamaithryn/, carefully stringing crystals and tiny silver and gold and copper bells onto its slender silk ribbons, and so it's a little disconcerting, at first, to discover that Padmé's spirit is a lot more alive than her body, though Force alone that knows she's unspeakably glad for the chance to see her again and speak to her one last time and have a chance to be able to tell her again how much she loves her, even if /Mamaithryn is only going to be able to stay for a little while.
48.) Voice: For as long as she lives, Ryoo doesn't ever think she's going to be in any danger of forgetting how peculiarly strange and yet somehow oddly right it seemed, to hear /Mamaithryn/'s loving words in a voice so like that of Ryoo's mother and her coolly distant and traitorous sister.
49.) Listen: She thinks herself a romantic little twit, for having such a thought in the midst of so much upheaval and upset, but she really could happily sit and just listen to Obi-Wan Kenobi's gentle cultured voice for hours and hours and hours on end and be nothing but perfectly content, perfectly enthralled, perfectly satisfied merely to bask in the wash of warmth and light that the Bendu Master so effortlessly, constantly gives off.
50.) See: If she closes her eyes and just lets herself drift a little (not towards sleep, but towards that state of calm acceptance of being that her athron of blades describes as true meditative serenity), she can almost see the shape of the future that is coming – Obi-Wan and Anakin forming a blazing bulwark of Light against the darkly looming threat of coming storms; Mamaithryn Sabé taking up the mantle of Queen while Mamaithryn Dormé takes over as Senator and Apailana and her handmaidens learn the ways of the Jedi Bendu in Dala City; Pooja growing to be Princess of Theed and then Senator for the current Princess (who will be Queen, after Mamaithryn Sabé) while she and Daddy adjust to life as Jedi Bendu themselves; the infinitely precious twins, growing to be a rallying symbol of hope and freedom and everything that's good and right and just and true in the galaxy, as storm winds begin to blow and threaten disaster – and she finds herself looking forward eagerly, straining after that future, certain that she's ready to play her part in the shape of things to come, no matter what that part might be.

Sign Up for My Skillshare Class on Probability
It was great fun to see XKCD take up the subject of Bayesian probability. That was a good reminder that it's been a while since I taught my Skillshare class on the subject. And so I have added a new date for a lunch class on December 4th. As per usual, all proceeds go to Pencils of Promise.
I have been asked if I am going to teach this class online as opposed to in person. Some day I may do that. But for now I really enjoy being together in a room. There is something very gratifying for me to be able to look people in the eyes and get a sense of whether or not they understood something.
PS In case you missed it, I posted Part 3 of my mini series on employment yesterday.

Obesity can be defined in absolute or relative terms. In practical settings, obesity is typically evaluated in absolute terms by measuring BMI (body mass index), but also in terms of its distribution through waist circumference or waist-hip circumference ratio measurements. In addition, the presence of obesity needs to be regarded in the context of other risk factors and comorbidities (other medical conditions that could influence risk of complications).[1]
BMI, or body mass index, is a simple and widely used method for estimating body fat.[2] In epidemiology BMI alone is used as an indicator of prevalence and incidence.
BMI was developed by the Belgian statistician and anthropometrist Adolphe Quetelet.[3] It is calculated by dividing the subject's weight by the square of his/her height, typically expressed either in metric or US "Customary" units:
Metric: BMI = kg / m2
Where kg is the subject's weight in kilograms and m is the subject's height in metres.
US/Customary: BMI = lb * 703 / in2
Where lb is the subject's weight in pounds and in is the subject's height in inches.
The current definitions commonly in use establish the following values, agreed in 1997 and published in 2000:[4]
* A BMI less than 18.5 is underweight
* A BMI of 18.5–24.9 is normal weight
* A BMI of 25.0–29.9 is overweight
* A BMI of 30.0–39.9 is obese
* A BMI of 40.0 or higher is severely (or morbidly) obese
* A BMI of 35.0 or higher in the presence of at least one other significant comorbidity is also classified by some bodies as morbid obesity.[5][6]
In a clinical setting, physicians take into account race, ethnicity, lean mass (muscularity), age, sex, and other factors which can affect the interpretation of BMI. BMI overestimates body fat in persons who are very muscular, and it can underestimate body fat in persons who have lost body mass (e.g. many elderly).[1] Mild obesity as defined by BMI alone is not a cardiac risk factor, and hence BMI cannot be used as a sole clinical and epidemiological predictor of cardiovascular health.[7]
Waist circumference
BMI does not take into account differing ratios of adipose to lean tissue; nor does it distinguish between differing forms of adiposity, some of which may correlate more closely with cardiovascular risk. Increasing understanding of the biology of different forms of adipose tissue has shown that visceral fat or central obesity (male-type or apple-type obesity) has a much stronger correlation, particularly with cardiovascular disease, than the BMI alone.[8]
The absolute waist circumference (>102 cm in men and >88 cm in women) or waist-hip ratio (>0.9 for men and >0.85 for women)[8] are both used as measures of central obesity.
Body fat measurement
An alternative way to determine obesity is to assess percent body fat. Doctors and scientists generally agree that men with more than 25% body fat and women with more than 30% body fat are obese. However, it is difficult to measure body fat precisely. The most accepted method has been to weigh a person underwater, but underwater weighing is a procedure limited to laboratories with special equipment. Two simpler methods for measuring body fat are the skinfold test, in which a pinch of skin is precisely measured to determine the thickness of the subcutaneous fat layer; or bioelectrical impedance analysis, usually only carried out at specialist clinics. Their routine use is discouraged.[9]
Other measurements of body fat include computed tomography (CT/CAT scan), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI/NMR), and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).[10]
Risk factors and comorbidities
The presence of risk factors and diseases associated with obesity are also used to establish a clinical diagnosis. Coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and sleep apnea are possible life-threatening risk factors that would indicate clinical treatment of obesity.[1] Smoking, hypertension, age and family history are other risk factors that may indicate treatment.[1]
Effects on health
A large number of medical conditions have been associated with obesity. Health consequences are categorised as being the result of either increased fat mass (osteoarthritis, obstructive sleep apnea, social stigma) or increased number of fat cells (diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease).[11] Mortality is increased in obesity, with a BMI of over 32 being associated with a doubled risk of death.[12] There are alterations in the body's response to insulin (insulin resistance), a proinflammatory state and an increased tendency to thrombosis (prothrombotic state).[11]
Disease associations may be dependent or independent of the distribution of adipose tissue. Central obesity (male-type or waist-predominant obesity, characterised by a high waist-hip ratio), is an important risk factor for the metabolic syndrome, the clustering of a number of diseases and risk factors that heavily predispose for cardiovascular disease. These are diabetes mellitus type 2, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, and triglyceride levels (combined hyperlipidemia).[13]
Apart from the metabolic syndrome, obesity is also correlated with a variety of other complications. For some of these complaints, it has not been clearly established to what extent they are caused directly by obesity itself, or have some other cause (such as limited exercise) that causes obesity as well.
* Cardiovascular: congestive heart failure, enlarged heart and its associated arrhythmias and dizziness, cor pulmonale, varicose veins, and pulmonary embolism
* Endocrine: polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), menstrual disorders, and infertility
* Gastrointestinal: gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), fatty liver disease, cholelithiasis (gallstones), hernia, and colorectal cancer
* Renal and genitourinary: erectile dysfunction,[14] urinary incontinence, chronic renal failure,[15] hypogonadism (male), breast cancer (female), uterine cancer (female), stillbirth
* Integument (skin and appendages): stretch marks, acanthosis nigricans, lymphedema, cellulitis, carbuncles, intertrigo
* Musculoskeletal: hyperuricemia (which predisposes to gout), immobility, osteoarthritis, low back pain
* Neurologic: stroke, meralgia paresthetica, headache, carpal tunnel syndrome, dementia[16]
* Respiratory: dyspnea, obstructive sleep apnea, hypoventilation syndrome, Pickwickian syndrome, asthma
* Psychological: Depression, low self esteem, body dysmorphic disorder, social stigmatization
While being severely obese has many health ramifications, those who are somewhat overweight face little increased mortality or morbidity. Osteoporosis is known to occur less in slightly overweight people.
Causes and mechanisms
Most researchers have concluded that the combination of an excessive nutrient intake and a sedentary lifestyle are the main cause for the rapid acceleration of obesity in Western society in the last quarter of the 20th century. [17]
Despite the widespread availability of nutritional information in schools, doctors' offices, on the internet and on groceries,[18] it is evident that overeating remains a substantial problem. For instance, reliance on energy-dense fast-food meals tripled between 1977 and 1995, and calorie intake quadrupled over the same period.[19]
However, dietary intake in itself is insufficient to explain the phenomenal rise in levels of obesity in much of the industrialized world during recent years. An increasingly sedentary lifestyle also has a significant role to play. More and more research into child obesity, for example, links such things as the school run, with the current high levels of this disease. [20]
Less well established life style issues which may influence obesity include a stressful mentality and insufficient sleep[citation needed].
As with many medical conditions, the calorific imbalance that results in obesity often develops from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Polymorphisms in various genes controlling appetite, metabolism, and adipokine release predispose to obesity, but the condition requires availability of sufficient calories, and possibly other factors, to develop fully. Various genetic abnormalities that predispose to obesity have been identified (such as Prader-Willi syndrome, Bardet-Biedl syndrome, MOMO syndrome, leptin receptor mutations and melanocortin receptor mutations), but known single-locus mutations have been found in only about 5% of obese individuals. While it is thought that a large proportion of the causative genes are still to be identified, much obesity is likely the result of interactions between multiple genes, and non-genetic factors are likely also important.
A 2007 study identified fairly common mutations in the FTO gene; heterozygotes had a 30% increased risk of obesity, while homozygotes faced a 70% increased risk.[21]
On a population level, the thrifty gene hypothesis postulates that certain ethnic groups may be more prone to obesity than others, and the ability to take advantage of rare periods of abundance and use such abundance by storing energy efficiently may have been an evolutionary advantage in times when food was scarce. Individuals with greater adipose reserves were more likely to survive famine. This tendency to store fat is likely maladaptive in a society with stable food supplies.[22]
Medical illness
Certain physical and mental illnesses and particular pharmaceutical substances may predispose to obesity. Apart from the fact that correcting these situations may improve the obesity, the presence of increased body weight may complicate the management of others.
Medical illnesses that increase obesity risk include several rare congenital syndromes (listed above), hypothyroidism, Cushing's syndrome, growth hormone deficiency.[23] Smoking cessation is a known cause for moderate weight gain, as nicotine suppresses appetite. Certain medications (e.g. steroids, atypical antipsychotics, some fertility medication) may cause weight gain.
Mental illnesses may also increase obesity risk, specifically some eating disorders (bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder).

Haines says he recovered the 10-point buck for evidence.
The incident occurred on Tuesday.
Oglebay vice president of operations Rod Haley says hunting is prohibited at the park.

Slaine Turns Down Tour To Star In Ben Affleck Film
Credited as George Carroll, Jr., Slaine first appeared as gun-runner Bubba Rogowski in Affleck's 2007 film Gone Baby Gone. It was announced this morning that Slaine will now be appearing in The Town, another film from the Good Will Hunting co-writer. "I've been working on so much music since I shot the movie Gone Baby Gone that I've had to turn down a lot of movie roles. When it came to working with Ben again, this time as a Charlestown bank robber, I just couldn't turn it down."
The emcee will need to leave his group's European leg of the tour to film. I apologize to all the La Coka fans internationally since I can't make this European tour, but I'm in Boston shooting a role that's close to my heart and my roots. Thanks to my LCN brothers for rocking overseas without me. La Coka is and will remain a brand you can trust," said Slaine in a statement.
The emcee closed in adding that "Gun In Your Mouth" from A Brand You Can Trust [click to read] is a dedication to all the Charleston bank-robbers.

Nate Kaeding will not be kicking for "a while". He already has seen a specialist and got an MRI on his injured groin. Expect more Nick Novak while Kaeding is resting the groin.
Nick Novak was signed on Friday and was kicking for the team on Sunday against the Chiefs. He went 3-for-3 in kicks with a long of 47 yards.
The Chargers only had 3 corners in the game against the Kansas City Chiefs. They usually cut OT Reggie Wells in order to bring up CB Greg Gatson before the games, but on Friday they had to sign Novak instead. The Chargers will likely need more corners against the Saints this weekend, so it will be interesting who the Chargers will decide to release to make room for a corner.

Time For Change in the New NHL
Some recent events have prompted talk of some rule changes needed to not only improve the game itself but the safety of the players.
The decline in scoring has been of concern to the league. The big boost in offence soon after the lockout has gone by the wayside and a lack of goals and offence continues to succumb to air tight defence.
Also of concern is the rash of serious head injuries. Hitting from behind, dangerous headshots and just an overall lack of respect is something that the league seems resistant to solve to avoid, as Mike Milbury puts it, "pansyfication" of the game.

Fantasy Hockey: Eastern Conference Scene
Written by Frank Mazzola, Rotoexperts.com Staff Writer
October 30, 2008
Frank Mazzola takes a look at the NHL's Eastern Conference and keeps you up to date on the latest developments.
Players on the trade block (rumors)
The following players are rumoured to be on the trading block, and here are some speculated teams that could be interested –
(All my info is from various sources compiled together on spectors hockey)
Miscellaneous, take 2
A few things happened in the NHL this week, so I'm gonna regroup them in this article.
Miscellaneous (or whatever the spelling is)
I read someone recently on HTR who was complaining about the lack of interesting trade rumors (hem hem mojo :)), so I decided to write a quick summary of what we're hearing these days on internet, or what I consider could be potential trades between teams. I won't write the cap hit or each team after each trade, but consider they WILL stay under the cap with these trades.
Ultimate Pool Preview 2008-09? IT'S HERE!!
Hey, this is a page to let you download the 2008-09 ULTIMATE POOL PREVIEW.
Go inside to get your hands on the 2008-09 UPP!
Gaborik on the block?
Some rumors have the Wild close to re-signing the budding winger. Others have the Wild looking to shop him. Here's what's been reported, and here's what's been rumored.
top 10 Reasons Why the HTR UPP Kicks Unholy Amounts of Azs
Number 10 – It's Pretty.
Lovely color patterns, Splash Screen, Logos, but not too much, just enough to be tasteful, or at least full… of something. Hell, we even kept the little country flags on the Salary Cap page. The educational value of that alone is worth the price!
Kids Must Deliver For Habs To Succeed
The renaissance enjoyed by the Montreal Canadiens last season was buoyed by the play of some of their veteran players. It is ironic now that in the year where the team will celebrate its 100th anniversary and reminisce their rich history, its the team's future that will determine whether the Habs succeed or fail.
Devils Still Good But Not Quite A Contender
Despite the fact the New Jersey Devils have been regular playoff participants the last decade or so, it's not automatic anymore to put the team among the top contenders for the Stanley Cup.
This Years Rookie Crop
The long wait is almost over!! Summer is done and training camp is just around the corner. This time of the year the average hockey fan is trying to figure out what his respective team will look like, how well the new players will mesh with the team, and most importantly in today's salary cap era…Who and how well will your team's prospects fill the gaps left by UFAs or retirements.
So I thought Id give you all a look at this years rookie crop in no particular order:
Futility Has Its Rewards
As the saying goes, sometimes you have to be bad before you can be good again. This is so true for the Toronto Maple Leafs. A 41 year cup drought and no playoff appearances since 2004 have resulted in the franchise bottoming out and starting from the ground up. The hope is they gradually make their rise up the standing doing things the right way and avoid the quick fix.
Trades forced by the Salary Cap
With the end of the summer approaching so is training camp and more importantly the beginning of the season. The beginning of the season also marks the end of the window teams can be over the cap. Teams that are over the cap at the start of the season will be penalised. As of what the penalties are I have no clue since nobody has been penalised up to date. Five teams are over the cap and three are under.
NHL Notes, Predictions, and more…
Just thought I'd write on all the happenings in the NHL right now, including my early predictions for next year- standings and awards.
NHL Notes:
-The Bryan McCabe situation is still thriving in the NHL rumor spotlight- and why not, there's plenty going on here. Unless you've been living under a rock the past couple weeks, you know that Bryan is supposedly headed to Florida on September 1st. The only thing left to really speculate on is what's the deal made of? Many think 29 year old Mike Van Ryn would be headed north of the border in the deal, and that Bryan would not be going to Florida alone. The best bets to head with him? Anyone not named Vesa or Luke, basically. Speculation has ranged from Nik Antropov to Ian White and everyone in between. My guess is either Ponikarovsky or White. And I'm not even getting into the wild fire talks of Jay Bo headed to T.O cause that's when rumors turn into video game proposals- although I wish we could get him…
Pens May Not Be As Good But Still Very Good
When a team that went all the way to the Stanley Cup finals loses 7 key contributors to that team, many expect a decline.
Well for the Pittsburgh Penguins, the decline may not be very steep at all.
At first glance, when you see all the players who left, it is very easy to hypothesize that the team has nowhere else to go but down.

Lyrics & Chords
This song is a lovely one, zestfully sung by Rafi Saheb for the film 'Janwar' (1965) and I have always loved this. The pace is good and the beats and instruments are mesmerizing. And when Shammi Kapoor is around, you see females ending up only in havoc. The music was by Shankar –Jaikishen and the lyrics were by Hasrat Jaipuri. The other main actors were Rajshree, Rehman, Asit Sen and Shyama.
Here is my version/rendition.
vs gopal
16 aug 2010
Tumse achcha kaun hai
dil lo jigar lo jaan lo
hum tumhare hain sanam
tum hamhey pehchaan lo
Main hoon woh johka mast hawa ka
sang tumhare chalta rahunga
jabse hui hai tumse mohabbat
milta raha hoon milta rahunga
tumse achcha kaun hai
Sine me dil hai dil main tumhi ho
tumse hamari chotisi jaan hai
tum ho salamat humko nahin ghum
tumse hamari duniya jawan hai
tumse achcha kaun hai
Harish said
nice one vsg sir!
the third stanza (from memory)
mar ke bhi dekha, mar na sake hum
dil ki lagi ne, humko bachaya
teri nazar ka jadoo hai shayad
jisne humen phir zinda banaya
tumse achcha kaun hai
Harish said
sir, even the track on cassette/cd has 2 stanzas. the 3rd one is there only in the film!
There are many many examples where they omit one stanza on the cassette/CD release. If you remember, even mere mehboob (title song) has 6 stanzas, but only 5 on CDs. The first one is deleted there. (Ai mere khwab ki taveer meri jaan-e-ghazal….)
Well Sung Gopal Sir, Very Beautiful Song, one of my favorites.
In Love & Light

This conversation is closed.
What one question, which you have never been asked, would have the biggest impact on your future?
I am interested in the art and architecture of questioning. I have been intrigued reading the threads of the TED conversations and how people respond and react to questioning. I am curious on how we answer questions but particularly here on our ability to frame them for ourselves. The 'never been asked' part of the question is crucial for this. I believe that deep questions, framed carefully, can unlock great potential. The TED is testament to our ability to do it for each other but can we do it for ourselves? Francis Bacon said 'A prudent question is one half of wisdom'.
Closing Statement from Stuart Woods
Whatever question it takes to unlock our true potential, If we do our best work, nurture others and reward kindness then our legacy will live for eternity, not in things or places, but in the hearts of individuals who we hope are compelled to pass it on.
I have read everyone's responses with gratitude. Essentially what I noticed from the responses was that people who I have never met generously opened up their inner hopes and dreams whilst remarkably structuring them to allow others to gain from them too, inspirational! Many think that predicting or forecasting the future is impossible and yet over generations our willingness to try has not be diminished in the least. I find this fascinating and believe it is testament to our need for certainty and to hope for the best. I could tell by reading the responses (often in the inference to what would happen if we actually asked ourselves these questions) that we readily ponder our PURPOSE on this earth. I also noted those who chose not to add what their response, but I hope by responding everyone did think of their answer.To search for deeper meaning for our existence is a recurring theme, so too, the altruistic standpoint of first offering to others before ourselves; heartening indeed. Some of the proposed questions referred to 'leaving something behind'- a legacy. When we transcend egotism I surmised from the what we might really mean is the statement I opened with:
Whatever question it takes to unlock our true potential, If we do our best work, nurture others and reward kindness our legacy will live for eternity, not in things or places, but in the hearts of individuals who we hope are compelled to pass it on.
Thanks to everyone I now have a wonderful resource on which to draw when I need re-focusing and re-energizing. I hope you do too. I fully intend to pass your questions on to my students. Best wishes. Stuart

Mar 7 2012: "What do you want to leave behind?"
We all work towards a goal, striving to achieve those dreams that are always in the distance and when we do reach those dreams there are new ones to strive for. Often we lose track of what we leave behind, we're never really sure about how our aspirations have affected the others around us.
This is the question that will drive me to change. It's not enough that I ask myself the question because I feel I'd be prejudiced to an answer.
I want to leave a legacy behind, something people can be proud of and something people can copy. It's a warming thought to see people generations behind you emulating the good examples you've left behind.
Mar 13 2012: I'd like to believe in forging a good road that people can follow. Show them character and attitude worthy of admiration not because of superficial things but because there's truly something to see. My legacy is not one that's original-- I'd like to live John Maxwell's legacy of adding value to others. Nothing inspires people more than others who believe in them and what they can do. Adding value to others not only builds a good lasting relationship but it also creates a "pay forward cycle". Knowing that something like that can happen would be just heartwarming.
Mar 6 2012: My big Q - At your funeral one family member, your closest friend and your spouse were asked to each give a eulogy. Based on what you would like them to say about you, how would you change your life, in order to make their statements of you come true?
Now that is a true challenge, and a way of looking forward.
Mar 6 2012: Would you share with me how you became the person that you are today?
I think that by telling/sharing with others our past, we naturally look at ourselves and reflect
on our life and the choices we've made. This has great potential for changing ourselves and also
for changing others.
I would love for someone who has known me for a while to ask me this question.....but my favorite
of all times continues to be>>>would you like to attend a TED event for....FREE?? LOL
Dyed All Hues 30+Mar 16 2012: How can I help (I mean actually help) you?*this individual is able to devote a portion of time to actually guide an individual through a certain path according to their answer* For the past few years of my life I have tried to be that individual. I hoped that from teaching others I could learn more about them and certain perspectives from the experience of helping others. Eventually, I could know much more about who I am and what path in life I will be pursuing.
Stuart Woods 10+
Mar 3 2012: Let me think about it. But, I don't see how I can answer this question.... Do you mean it is a question that I have already asked myself but if someone else was asking it to me, that would change my life?
Well, if someone could question me this way:
"is it not true that......?" And telling me things about my past that I have kept to my self only ( could be a detail), something I thought of, a special memory, an amazing dream I have made that nobody knows about, I would freak out!!!
Does it partly answer your question?
Mar 3 2012: Thanks, there's great truth in the quote, 'you don't know what you asked until you hear the answer', so thanks for being the first. I'm not sure it's about a revelatory moment when someone is able to read our minds or stumbles on a fact we didn't think anyone knew....I really don't want us to freak out!! I think it could be about a question you have wanted to explore verbally which you have never had a chance to do. I know an extrovert shapes thinking through talking but this question is not just aimed at extroverts. What I think it may do is prompt us to fast forward to the answer we'd come to even (maybe) before the question is fully formed. As a teacher of teenagers there is a 'race' to an answer when often exploring a well thought through question reveals a much greater understanding...........so this amazing dream that nobody knows about, how's that working out? : )

Mar 12 2012: Dear Adriaan, nice to see you around!
Magician using deception and other scientifically explained tricks can do amazing stuff too! Have you ever watched Keith Barry doing some magical tricks? It is quite impressive!
Mar 16 2012: Thanks Clerk, great question. There is a book called 'Dear Me' compiled by Elton John for his AIDS Foundation on just this subject. Famous people writing to themselves at aged 16. It makes for very uplifting and often moving reading. You can contribute to the on-line blog at mydearmeletter.blogspot.com
Mar 13 2012: who are you ? or whats your purpose ?
Just think about it !!! you can be a Artist, Scientist, philosopher a business man !!!
... we think we know who we are but the real truth is ... we are what we think we are, we are what we believe we are and what others believe we are .... we are what we project ourselves to be in the future ... this reality what you and i experience right now is not you... but the path to perfection of being you... what you truly will be !!! we always tend towards what we think we are !!! what we think we can be !!!
this question made the biggest difference in my life !!! and i still ask this to myself... !!!
Know thyself - Socrates !
Cheers !!!
Mar 12 2012: In answer to this question:
If you could do anything in the world what would it be?
If we use our perceived limitations we most likely will not go far. if we ask :" Of all the possibilities in the world which would you love to do? Which would make you happy?" Then you have opened up infinite possibilities which can only be limited by our thinking.
Mar 12 2012: yes Manue, there are a multitude of practical ways to make a difference. From my experience the practical ways that seem to be most effective with the most positive results come from giving of ourselves in time. An example could be "Habitat for Humanity". Or to hire a person to help you out instead of a giving them a "handout" . This invariably contributes to their sense of self-worth by not showing them off with a bill or 2.
Not that donations do not have their place, they do and unless you are poor too, easy to do.
Mar 11 2012: The world can be changed for the better through technical solutions and ideas not yet invented that can help many, many people.
Ego aside, I think people can change the world in various good ways.... millions of children are starving, diseases that need curing, we may face water shortages, etc.

Gitanjali (1910)
by Rabindranath Tagore
Poetry Corner (131)
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where the words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is lead forward by thee into ever widening thought and action -
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
"Thou hast made me endless, such is thy pleasure." Thus begins this small but rich collection of poems by the Nobel Prize-winning poet Rabindranath Tagore. He sings of the ages that are the gift of the gods. He explores the abundance of human experience from birth to death and beyond. Eros has its place as well in the poems that explore the humanity of young and old. All the while the beauty of nature does not escape his attention. The author's own translation into English from the original Bengali does not lose the musical quality that must exist in the original language. One may open to almost any page to experience beautiful poetry like these line from Poem 59:
"The morning light has flooded my eyes---this is thy message to my heart. Thy face is bent from above, thy eyes look down on my eyes, and my heart has touched thy feet."(p 77)
With an introduction by W. B. Yeats from the original 1913 edition this is a great introduction to a protean writer. His poetry and prose compares with Goethe or Dante in its impact on both his home of India and the world.
Three stars not because this was pants, but rather because I was pants at connecting with this collection. I found myself appreciating the sentiments, the composition and the overall sweetness of Tagore's expression. There were a few poems which moved me a great deal and quite unexpectedly, but overall I felt like there was something missing, something that could ultimately connect the reader to the meaning of the poem.
Having said that, there are lines in this collection that are just pretty damn exquisite and I felt like I was reading this little volume in a very different era and very different place. The nature Tagore absolutely worships in these poems is easily conjured up as though you're sitting next to him on the grass and looking up at the sky, or walking down a dusty path in the too hot sun.
Yeah... three stars would be tragic. Four.
I will definitely read this again and I must track down as much Rabindra Sangeet as possible, because from what I've heard, maybe music is what completes these wonderful little poems.
There were some really beautiful poems that really got to me - and then there was a large amount that just didn't do anything for me. I suppose the translation full of thy and thous didn't help, which I would normally not really pay attention to, but this is Tagore's own translation.
Still, some were really really beautiful, so it was worth reading. I especially liked "the ocean of forms"and "my dungeon" as well as many sentences from other poems I didn't personally love as a whole.
Song offerings by the great indian poet.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0684839342, Paperback)An illuminating collection of inspirational poems by a Nobel Laureate
While traveling through one of the poorest regions in India, W. B. Yeats was amazed to discover the women in the tea fields singing the songs and poems of Rabindranath Tagore. This striking scene led the great Irish poet to appreciate the depth of India's far-reaching tradition of poetry and the fame of this one Indian poet. Tagore's work is without equal and plays an eminent role in twentieth century Indian literature.
The publication of the English edition of Gitanjali in 1911 earned Rabindranath Tagore the Nobel Prize in literature. A collection of over one hundred inspirational poems, Gitanjali covers the breadth of life's experiences, from the quiet pleasure of observing children at play to a man's struggle with his god. These are poems that transcend time and place.

Montreal, QC (SportsNetwork.com) - Boston Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk was taken off the ice on a stretcher early in the first period of Thursday's game against the Montreal Canadiens.
Boychuk went into the right-corner boards to try and chase down a puck and was pushed from behind by Montreal's Max Pacioretty. He hit the boards head first and collapsed to the ice.
Boychuk laid on the ice for several minutes with trainers attending to him. His whole body was immobilized and he was carted off the ice on a stretcher.
Pacioretty was issued a boarding minor on the play at 4:28.
Boychuk has averaged a little over 21 minutes of ice time per game this season, posting one goal and five assists in 26 contests.

Ever since Richie Sambora exited the Bon Jovi tour due to what was described as "personal issues," there has been much speculation as to what really happened between the guitarist and his band. But now, Jon Bon Jovi is saying most of what you've heard isn't true.
Speaking to the Austin American-Statesman, Jon says he "thinks Richie's doing all right," but adds that he "hasn't spoken" to the guitarist since he didn't turn up for the band's recent show in Calgary, Canada. "We were surprised," Jon reveals. "It was 3:30 on show day on Tuesday and we got a phone call that he wouldn't be there. It's a personal matter."
"Don't believe what you read on TMZ because it's the furthest thing from the truth," the singer adds. He may have been referring to a report by the website claiming that Richie bailed on the tour because he was tired of Jon treating him badly, and not paying him enough.
What Jon says, however, appears to be true. Richie tweeted , "Thank you everyone for your concern. I'm well, but had to stay in LA to take care of a personal matter. Love you all and see you very soon."
Sambora's comment appears to indicate that he plans to re-join the tour at some point. For now, he's been replaced by guitarist Phil X .

Josh Powell told his oldest son he had a "big surprise" for him Sunday, just moments before he hit him and his younger brother with an ax and set the house on fire, killing all three of them, the visitation supervisor told ABC News Thursday.In an exclusive interview with ABC's "20/20" program, Elizabeth Griffin Hall, the state-contracted children's visitation supervisor for the Powell boys, spoke about that fateful day last Sunday for the first time.
She said that as she approached Josh Powell's home, the two boys ran ahead into the house and Josh Powell "caught my eye, his shoulders were slumped. He had a sheepish look. He just shrugged his shoulders and slammed the door."
Hall said she had been taking the boys, Charlie, 7, and Braden, 5, on supervised visits to Powell's home for three months and she never thought he would harm them.
Powell, who was a suspect in the disappearance of his wife, Susan Cox Powell, in Utah in 2009, had lost custody of the children in September and lost an appeal to get his children back just four days before he decided to kill them.
Hall told "20/20" that the children loved being with their father. "One of them said what he wanted to do was go home and live with his daddy," she said.
On Sunday, Hall said, the children bounded out of her car and took off running for their father's house with Hall a few steps behind. Powell let them in, gave Hall his odd look, and locked the door.
As Hall banged on the door, "I heard him say, 'Charlie, I've got a big surprise for you'... And then I heard Braden cry out."
"I'm saying, 'Let me in, Josh, let me in,'" Hall said. "I realized I didn't have my phone in my hand and I could smell gas. Too much time had passed and I could smell gas."
Hall said she went to move her car and call 911, whom she said did not acknowledge that it was a true emergency. She then called her supervisor, but it was too late.
"I said to [her boss] Lynne, something terrible is happening here, and I was on the phone with Lynne when the house exploded," she said.
Powell had laced the home with gasoline and accelerants and set it on fire, blowing up the home. All three were killed.
"I wanted to get to the kids," she said. "I wanted to get to the kids. I would have broken in if I could."
While Hall never thought Powell would hurt the boys, she now said, she knows he would have done anything to kill them, even if they had the supervised visitation somewhere else.
"How this happened is that Josh Powell was really, really evil. I couldn't have stopped him," she told ABC News.
"I did everything I was supposed to do. I did everything right and the boys are still dead," Hall said. "It took just a second. When I close my eyes I see him and he was so normal. He did not look like a monster."
In another development, just before Josh Powell's child custody hearing last week, it was learned that Washington authorities received materials from Utah police that had been discovered on a computer in Powell's home two years ago.
Pierce County sheriff's detective Ed Troyer said Thursday the material included computer-generated images similar to cartoons that depicted "incestuous" sex, but that the images could not legally be considered pornography. However, it was disconcerting enough that they prompted a psychologist to recommend that Powell undergo a psychosexual evaluation.
The judge in the child custody hearing last week agreed and ordered Powell to undergo a psychosexual evaulation. Four days later, he was dead.

Housing Inequality in the United States: A Decomposition Analysis of Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Homeownership
AbstractIn recent years, as the homeownership rate in the United States reached its highest level in history, homeownership itself remained unevenly distributed, particularly along racial and ethnic lines. By using data from the 2000 Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) and 2006 American Community Survey (ACS) to study the trajectory into homeownership of black, Asian, white, and Latino households, this paper explores the various socioeconomic and demographic characteristics, as well as the distinct immigration experiences and spatial patterns that shape racial and ethnic inequality in homeownership. The unique (merged) dataset enables the authors to distinguish assimilation (length of residence) from immigration cohort effects, and to control for various spatial characteristics at the PUMA (Public Use Microdata Area) level. The paper employs a decomposition technique that delineates the distinct effects that composition differentials have on the visible white-minority disparity in homeownership. The findings reveal substantial differences along racial-ethnic lines, highlight the importance of immigration and spatial context in determining Asian and Mexican homeownership rates, and emphasize the unique role that family structure and unobserved factors (e.g. prejudice and discrimination) continue to play in shaping the black-white homeownership gap.
