text: ''This is really mean cuisine!''Many years ago, in a far-off kingdom, a king asked of his subjects: ''"Which is stronger, fried duck or stewed tofu?"'' Most of his servants thought he'd gone off the deep end, and summarily ignored him. But one mysterious stranger, bearing a magic card known as a "Meal Ticket," understood him completely... and with his magic, he brought the king's dinner to life. They became creatures known as Foodons, and to this day, aspiring chefs work their hardest at preparing the best meals... for battle. Cut to the present day. Chase and his sister Kayla are the children of the legendary chef Jack. Unfortunately, it seems like his cooking skills don't necessarily run in the family. Now a group known as the Gluttons has imprisoned Jack due to his dangerous cooking abilities. After managing to bust his father out from their jail, Chase begins to realize that he has what it takes to be a great chef--so he sets out on his own adventure, even though the Gluttons, especially PerkyFemaleMinion Clawdia, vow revenge. All of this would probably come across as a horrible rip-off of ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''--if the show took itself with an ''iota'' of seriousness. However, it deliberately plays everything--from the concept to the characters--with as much over-the-topness as possible, making the whole affair come off as parodic. While it was not originally a very big hit, the show gained a cult following over the years for being... well, for [[WidgetSeries being itself,]] pretty much. Not surprisingly, it uses (and abuses) pretty much every FoodTrope in the cookbook.Originally known as ''Martial Arts Cooking Legend Bistro-Recipe'' in Japan. And it was one of FourKidsEntertainment[='s=] premiere anime on the Fox Box when they took over FoxKids.Has a character sheet heavily in the WIP Stage.----!! ''Fighting Foodons'' contains examples of:* AnthropomorphicFood: As {{Mons}}!* ApologizesALot: The Meatballs: "We're sorry!" * AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Beefsteak in episode 1 and Doughnasour in episode in episode 11... they even look similar perhaps unintentional.Tatertons could also count though its smaller than both of the example above.* {{Badass}}: There are many in this series, Fried-Ricer, Sizzler, Sir Dumpling, Boulder Broth, Rap Scallion, Taquito And Shrimp Stompura are noteable examples.* BadassAdorable: So Friggin' many! Omelet, Doughnut-So, Puddington, the Meatballs, the list goes on.* BareYourMidriff: Kayla when she is captured and turns evil.* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace* BearsAreBadNews: Bearafooda* BetweenMyLegs: Of Clawdia in episode 10.* BigBad: King Gorgeous Gorge* BrooklynRage: Spagettdaboutit may be one; a more obvious example would be one of the Chowderheads* ButtMonkey: The Meatballs Oh so much; on multiple occations they wind up trying to clog somebody's nose.* BlobMonster: The Grease Blobs* BrainwashedAndCrazy: A few cases due to spiked food. [[spoiler: Clawdia and King Gorgeous Gorge's Big 4 are also such having been transformed into evil being by King Gorgeous Gorge himself.]]* BrotherSisterTeam* CatchPhrase: "The kitchen... is... OPEN!"* CatGirl: Her name's [[IncrediblyLamePun Clawdia]], just in case you missed the other obvious cat features. * CookingDuel: To its logical extension, as food that actually ''fights other food.''* {{Expy}}: Again Doghnasour and Beefsteak, of Godzilla; Boulderbroth is one of Gamera. And the Burger Brigade is an expy of the PowerRangers. * {{Cowboy}}: Hot Doggone It is of the gun-slinging variety and Cowboyritto uses his lasso to slam opponents into the ground.* CuteWitch: Ham-Scam Witch, so much so that it is part of her attack stratedgy.* DropTheHammer: squeaky hammers are comstantly used as weapons on this show.* [[EverythingsSquishierWithCephalopods Everything's Squishier with Cephalopods]]: Octopoison and Squid-vicous.* EvenEvilHasStandards: When Oslo is thrown against a wall while captured by the Gormandizers is later seen in a cage with a cold ice pack on his hurt back. The Meatballs couldn't have gotten it, so the Gormandizers must have.* EvilChef: You can't be a villain in this series if you aren't one. * FantasticRacism: Dusty Town's populace treats foodons as slaves, and the creatures are forced to crack a smile while they do their labor or get kicked around. It gets so bad it sparks rebellion from Tacquito. It's also this reason that the populace are suspicious of Chase and Co.* FireBreathingDiner: Kayla's spicy curry is ''really'' spicy.* FryingPanOfDoom: --> "There are many uses for the common frying pan."* FusionDance: The Pork Bullies combine to form Slop Suey* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: YMMV. When Chase finds out that Kayla, Pie Tin, and Oslo are kidnapped, he wonders if Kayla brought a change of clothes. Cue shot of Kayla's outfit.* GiantEnemyCrab: Crab Quake, a foodonized crab cake with cannons and tentacles, is this at first, but when albert decides to help Chase and co. it fights alongside Chases foodons.* GiantMook: Slop Suey* HongKongDub* HurricaneOfPuns: Settle down, kids. It's gonna be a loooong ride. * ImprobableWeaponUser: The Burger Brigade* InMediasRes: The first episode begins with an invasion of a prison camp, with Chase and Kayla attempting to free their father.* LethalChef: Literally, as horrible food generally = very nasty monster. * MadeASlave: Albert at one point.* MagicFeather: "I'm afraid there's no such thing as a turbo-powered meal ticket..."* {{Mooks}}: There are several foodons that fit the bill amoung them are Curry Ups, Tropical Punches, Pork Bullies and so on. There are even human examples in the Gormandizers* {{Mon}}* MultipleHeadCase: The Chowderheads; one talks like John F. Kennedy, the other talks like Joe Pesci, it actually was intended to be very destructive, but it acts like a comic relief character. They are both so dysfunctional that they always end up fighting each other.* MundaneMadeAwesome: If you thought your ''average'' CookingDuel took things way too seriously...* OhCrap: in one episode Shrimp Stompura gives this when he tries to tackle Fried-Ricer, who grabs him and does a pile diver. As they come down there is a close up shot of both of them. Shrimp Stompura is waving his arms wildly and has inverted eyes.* TheObiWan: Oslow.* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Slice and Frenchy Le Toast who are actually foodons mourning thier creator. Definitely Le Toast due to the way he scares others.* OurMonstersAreWeird* PaperThinDisguise: Chef John. [[spoiler: Really, they try to play it straight, but it's pretty obvious it's Chef Jack if you look close enough. The body build is the same, too.]]* PerkyFemaleMinion: Clawdia. * PokemonSpeak: On and off. Some Foodons, such as the Burnt Meatballs, are able to speak intermitenly, while others can only recite their names in classic Poke-style. * PublicDomainSoundtrack: In the dub, the ending of "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4hs7vW8SV0 Orpheus in the Underworld]]" (Go to about the 7:30 mark to hear the familiar part.)* QuintessentialBritishGentleman: Sir Dumpling spouts off an endless stream of "pip-pips" and "cheerios."* QuirkyMiniBossSquad: King Gorgeous Gorge's Big 4* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: Beefsteak, Boulderbroth, Applegator, and many more. Fowligator mixes it with CluckingFunny.* TheRival: But of (main) course. Albert is certainly everything a shonen rival usually is in his first appearance: Cocky, smarmy, and begging to be taken down a notch. [[spoiler:However, he actually ''does'' get taken down a notch in the episode after he's introduced after learning his rival is the son of his idol, and becomes a nicer sort of foil.]] Also Coco at first. * TheSheriff: Sheriff Zuke Squash from episode 11.* StrongFamilyResemblance: Chase and his dad could be clones, especially with their ridiculous two-tone hair. Kayla, presumably, takes after their mother.* TagAlongKid: Pie Tin; even more so when the protagonists are ''already'' young.* TeamPet: Omelet.* ThereWasADoor:--> '''Kayla:''' How we gonna get it out of here?\\'''Chase:''' The window!\\'''Kayla:''' There ''is'' no window!\\'''Chase:''' There is now!* TurtlePower: The Foodon that transforms Cinnamonkey back to normal.* VillainSong: If You Scare Then We're The Reason sung perhaps by Slice and Le Toast in episode 4.* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Sgt. Marinara [[spoiler:was last seen on the sea-based Glutton food lab where Pie Tin's parents were held. After Chef Jack blew up the lab, no mention of him was made again. It is possible that Marinara died in the explosion, but considering American networks frown on the idea of death unless it serves as a life lesson, Marinara's, and to a lesser extent, Shrimp Stompura's fate remains ambiguous to the viewers]] ** Hot Doggone-It, one of Chase's Foodons, appears to have vanished after the ramen contest of episode 17.* WidgetSeries: If it were any more widgety, you could install it in Opera.----

Signs of Sudden Wealth Syndrome
April 17, 2000 (Kentfield, Calif.) -- For all our fantasies of winning the lottery, sudden fortune can cause remarkable stress.
Therapist Stephen Goldbart, PhD, of Kentfield, Calif., says the newly rich "feel cut off from their friends and family. They're suspicious of investment counselors, afraid their kids will grow up spoiled or crippled by the money. And they suffer from an identity crisis because at the ripe old age of thirty-something they no longer have to go to work."
Recommended Related to Mind, Body, Spirit
By Helen Kirwan-Taylor Many years ago I had a falling-out with a girlfriend that proved so painful, I can hardly talk about it today. My friend (let's call her Mary) was a colorful television personality and had the world at her feet. She was engaged to a handsome European, and her face was plastered across the newspapers. I was working for 60 Minutes at the time, and we often met for lunch. Then one day her show was canceled and she asked me - casually, as though it didn't really matter...
Read the Are You Too Sensitive? article > >
Goldbart and his partner Joan Di Furia, MFT, offer this advice for recognizing when money is getting you into trouble:
- You feel uncomfortably different from your friends and you're afraid to tell them how you feel about your new status.
- Being wealthy makes for more guilt than pleasure.
- Instead of feeling powerful and decisive, you feel paralyzed and unable to decide how to spend your money.
- You can't stand the envy of friends and acquaintances -- you find yourself becoming more isolated.
- You feel like you don't quite deserve the money and you can't believe it's really yours.
- You suffer from "ticker shock" and become obsessed with watching the stock market.
- You're afraid that you'll lose your money and your good fortune will simply vanish overnight.
(Compiled by Kentfield, Calif., therapists Stephen Goldbart, PhD, and Joan Di Furia, MFT, owners of the Money, Meaning, and Choices Institute).

Three of the most renowned praise poems to the Prophet, the mantle odes span the arc of Islamic history from Muhammad's lifetime, to the medieval Mamluk period, to the modern colonial era. Over the centuries, they have informed the poetic and religious life of the Arab and Islamic world. Suzanne Pinckney Stetkevych places her original translations of the poems within the odes' broader cultural context. By highlighting their transformative power as speech acts and their ritual function as gift exchanges, this book not only demonstrates the relevance of these poems to contemporary scholarship but also reveals their power and beauty to the modern reader.

Country/Date of Origin: Australia/1800s
The first records of the Australian Cattle Dog date back to about mid 19th Century Australia. In the tropical north a robust, short coated dog was needed to herd large half wild cattle in the outback. Beginning with British foundation stock, primarily the Smithfield Heeler, the Aussie stockmen added Dingo blood and a dash of Kelpie for tractability and intelligence. The result is a "no frills" work dog. Not the most handsome canine, the Aussie Cattle Dogs survives for one reason - they are good at their jobs. No other breed could drive such rambunctious cattle such long distances in such heat. The Australian Cattle Dog is as tough as the land that formed it. Quick to be recognized in its homeland the breed was entered in the stud book in 1903. It was not until 1979 that it was given status with the American Kennel Club.

September 30, 2008
Rating: r - Violence, Profanity, Sexual Situations, Nudity
The human race is on the brink of extinction after coming under attack from soulless ghosts who use digital frequencies to haunt mankind, leaving two divorced parents with little choice other than to compromise their own safety in favor of finding their missing daughter. There weren't many people left on Earth after the spectral apocalypse, and now small pockets of survivors seek refuge from the malevolent spirits while attempting to escape their supernatural grip. But there's not much hope left in the world anymore, only chaos and terror. Upon realizing that their defenseless young daughter has inadvertently waded directly into the black heart of this cataclysmic horror, a divorced couple with nothing in common but their shared love of their daughter prepare to make the ultimate sacrifice in order to wrestle their little girl from the clutches of death. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

We are very aware that we wouldn't have such a greatly loved series without an awful lot of people's help and cleverness.

Bangkok - British Open champion Darren Clarke said on Friday he wants to end a chequered campaign on a winning note at the inaugural $1 million Thailand Golf Championship.
The 43-year-old Northern Irishman took a title in Spain before his breakthrough Major victory in July, but has since failed to finish in the top ten, slumping to 43rd in the golf rankings.
Clarke was a popular winner at Royal St George's but has endured a poor run of results and faces a tough field in Thailand including US Open winner Rory McIlroy, world number three Lee Westwood and Masters champion Charl Schwartzel.
But he is confident a strong showing at the December 15 to 18 event is the ideal platform to propel him up the rankings.
"I'd love to win a third. I'm trying to win again. If I can then it would be great. I'd like to get further up the world rankings," he said, according to an Asian Tour press release.
"I want to keep on going... I've just got to do what I've been doing before and hopefully it will give me more opportunities."
In-form Spaniard Sergio Garcia and England's Simon Dyson have also been confirmed for the season-ending Asian Tour event, which organisers said will go ahead after the worst flooding in decades in Thailand.
Japanese sensation Ryo Ishikawa and Thai legend Thongchai Jaidee will also compete at the inaugural showpiece at the Amata Spring Country Club in Bangkok.

Read an Excerpt
As though it had been a signal, the camp sprang into a flurry of activity, even before the Governor's aide had disappeared through the trees. Weapons already primed and loaded were checked and re-checked, buckles unfastened and refastened, badges polished, hats beaten free of dust and cockades affixed, stockings pulled up and tightly gartered, filled canteens shaken for reassurance that their contents had not evaporated in the last quarter-hour.
It was catching. I found myself running my fingers over the rows of glass bottles in the chest yet again, the names murmuring and blurring in my mind like the words of someone telling rosary beads, sense lost in the fervor of petition. Rosemary, atropine, lavender, oil of cloves....
Bree was notable for her stillness among all this bustle. She sat on her rock, with no movement save the stir of a random breeze in her skirts, her eyes fixed on the distant trees. I heard her say something, under her breath, and turned.
"What did you say?"
"It's not in the books." She didn't take her eyes off the trees, and her hands were knotted in her lap, squeezing together as though she could will Roger to appear through the willows. She lifted her chin, gesturing toward the field, the trees, the men around us.
"This," she said. "It's not in the history books. I read about the Boston Massacre. I saw it there, in the history books, and I saw it here, in the newspaper. But I never saw this there. I never read a word about Governor Tryon, or North Carolina, or a place called Alamance. So nothing's going to happen." She spoke fiercely, willing it. "If there was a big battle here, someone would have written something about it. Nobody did -- so nothing's going to happen. Nothing!"
"I hope you're right," I said, and felt a small warming of the chill in the small of my back. Perhaps she was. Surely it couldn't be a major battle, at least. We were no more than four years from the outbreak of the Revolution; even the minor skirmishes preceding that conflict were well-known.
The Boston Massacre had happened earlier in the year: a street-fight, a clash between a mob and a platoon of nervous soldiers. Shouted insults, a few stones thrown. An unauthorized shot, a panicked volley, and five men dead. It had been reported, with a good deal of fierce editorializing, in one of the Boston newspapers; I had seen it, in Jocasta's parlor; one of her friends had sent her a copy.
And two hundred years later, that brief incident was immortalized in children's textbooks, evidence of the rising disaffection of the Colonists. I glanced at the men who stood around us, preparing to fight. Surely, if there was to be a major battle here, a Royal Governor putting down what was essentially a tax-payer's rebellion, that would have been worth noting!
Still, that was theory. And I was uneasily aware that neither warfare nor history took much account of what should happen.
Jamie was standing by Gideon, whom he had tethered to a tree. He would go into battle with his men, on foot. He was taking his pistols from the saddlebag, putting away the extra ammunition in the pouch at his belt. His head was bent, absorbed in the details of what he was doing.
I felt a sudden, dreadful urgency. I must touch him, must say something. I tried to tell myself that Bree was right; this was nothing; likely not even a shot would be fired, and yet there were three thousand armed men here on the banks of the Alamance, and the knowledge of bloodshed hummed and buzzed among them.
I left Brianna sitting on her rock, burning eyes fixed on the wood, and hurried to him.
"Jamie," I said, and put a hand on his arm.
It was like touching a high-voltage wire; power hummed inside the insulation of his flesh, ready to erupt in a burst of crackling light. They say one can't let go of such a line; a victim of electrocution simply freezes to the wire, helpless to move or save himself, as the current burns through brain and heart.
He put his hand on mine, looking down.
"A nighean donn," he said, and smiled a little. "Have ye come to wish me luck, then?"
I smiled back as best I could, though the current sizzled through me, stiffening the muscles of my face as it burned.
"I couldn't let you go without saying...something. I suppose 'Good luck' will do." I hesitated, words jamming in my throat with the sudden urge to say much more than there was time for. In the end, I said only the important things. "Jamie -- I love you. Be careful!"
He didn't remember Culloden, he said. I wondered suddenly whether that loss of memory extended to the hours just before the battle, when he and I had said farewell. Then I looked into his eyes and knew it did not.
" 'Good luck' will do," he said, and his hand tightened on mine, likewise frozen to the current that surged between us. "I love ye' does much better."
He touched my hand, lifted his own and touched my hair, my face, looking into my eyes as though to capture my image in this moment -- just in case it should be his last glimpse of me.
"There may come a day when you and I shall part again," he said softly, at last, and his fingers brushed my lips, light as the touch of a falling leaf. He smiled faintly. "But it willna be today."
The notes of a bugle came through the trees, far away, but piercing as a woodpecker's call. I turned, looking. Brianna sat still as a statue on her rock, looking toward the wood.

well dog this is what i gotta say... i dont know enough sh*t about this to have a really intellegent conversation but this is the subs that i got
and this the the Lanzar amp
scroll down for the details. if you get anything out of that hit me back... if im being way too naive and dont want to waist your time its straight, but i got mad props on u if u can tell me if thats chill or where go to from here,
my budget as of now is about 300$ but i havent sold my old amp yet and i got mad paychecks coming....not tryin to pay above 800$
good lookin' out if u can help

|class of '04 - away - #188
1st off all, the subs and the amp are garbage, 2nd how you do expect to run 2 460 watt subs with 4000w. you shouldn't hook 1 sub to each channel because that would be hooking them up in stereo, you need to bridge them. also, you need to take into consideration the ohms, you need to make sure the ohms match the amp or else you'll have problems
bottom line i say sell it all and start over. give us a budget and we will help you and explain more, but start a new thread

Everyone above is correct...Dual, Lanzar, Volfenhag, Jenson...it's all the same & it's all garbage. If your budget is truly $300 then you're kind of out of luck unless you find the right guy in the right van in a back-alley in Detroit.
If you can go up to $800 you have all sorts of options. Two Kicker CVR 12's in a Kicker Box w/ a 750.1 amp can run you $700 or less leaving $100 for the wiring. Just an example.
Trust me, you'll be much happier saving your money for a minute & buying good equipment that's going to bang loud & clear plus last a while than burning $300 on garbage.

Im thinkin about gettin a system, but i cant decide whether to get ascendant audio arsenals, diamond audio M6, or JL audio W6s. seems like you guys know alot about subs. wonderin if you can give me some suggestions, and how well would the ascendant audio arsenals compared with JL W6s anyway?? thanks.

|class of '06 - away - #196
I'm not familiar with Diamond Audio subs (besides the D9) but they also make good subs.
Ascendant Audio are also a great brand. I installed a pair of a.ssassins for a friend a while back and I was impressed on how good they sound. For the price, you can't go wrong.

|class of '06 - away - #198
its def either AA Arsenal or the W6... it just depends on what exactly what you are looking for, in my opinion the W6 tends to be more of a pure sq sub, the Arsenal has been marketed as a high quality SQl sub that is extremly musical (it has been compared to the Adire Audio Brahma and has been said to be more musical than a Soundspliter RLp, that is a major compliment since the RLp is one of the most musical subs I have ever heard) and cheap, if it were me i would get the Arsenals so you dont have to deal with JL's overpricing...

Verizon Communications Inc.
) has finally won the U.S. Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) approval for its $130 billion deal to buy a 45% stake in
its wireless venture, currently owned by
Vodafone Group plc
). Both the companies have been mulling over this deal over a
long time and news surfaced early this year about Verizon
planning a possible buyout of its remaining stake of the wireless
For Verizon, the total buyout of its wireless business would
mean saving a substantial amount of the payment that slips to
Vodafone's pocket. Verizon Wireless, with operating income over
$21 billion not only remains a key driver of Verizon
Communications' earnings, but also provides a competitive edge
over big names like
AT&T, Inc.
) and the rapidly growing
Sprint Corp.
This deal is touted as one of the biggest in the telecom space
after Vodafone's acquisition of Germany's Mannesmann AG in 2000
(for approximately $142 billion) and Time Warner Inc.'s merger
with AOL (for $124 billion) in 2001. We believe the complete
takeover of its wireless business would translate into greater
synergies for Verizon, which already holds a significant place in
the U.S. wireless market.
However, the eventual effect of this deal on Verizon's
investors is uncertain. Verizon shareholders are eyeing the
dividend that is currently being remitted to Vodafone. But
questions arise on whether the saved dividend payment to Vodafone
will compensate for the debt borne by the company for carrying
out the transaction, or whether the deal will leave a neutral
impact on its investors in case it looks for possible solutions
to maintain its status quo in terms of dividend payout.
Moreover, the deal's impact on Verizon's margin expansion
after borrowing for the transaction is also crucial to its

Lawmakers' support sought for new maple gradingThe Associated Press | February 14,2013WESTFIELD — Vermont lawmakers are once again considering whether the state should adopt a new international grading system designed to help consumers when they buy maple syrup.
The grades were designed by the International Maple Syrup Institute.
All syrup sold at retail would carry a Grade A label, followed by a color and flavor descriptor. From lightest to darkest these new grades would be: golden color and delicate taste; amber color and rich taste; dark color and robust taste; very dark color and strong taste.
The state Agriculture Agency and the Vermont Maple Sugar Makers Association back the changes. The agency is seeking support from the Vermont Legislature in the form of a resolution endorsing the changes.MORE IN This Just InKABUL, Afghanistan Confusion reigned in the wake of the deadly bombing Saturday of a hospital...

The boat ploughed on. Now Alcatraz was past
And all the grey waves flamed to red again
At the dead sun's last glimmer. Far and vast
The Sausalito lights burned suddenly
In little dots and clumps, as if a pen
Had scrawled vague lines of gold across the hills;
The sky was like a cup some rare wine fills,
And stars came as he watched
-- and he was free
One splendid instant -- back in the great room,
Curled in a chair with all of them beside
And the whole world a rush of happy voices,
With laughter beating in a clamorous tide. . . .
Saw once again the heat of harvest fume
Up to the empty sky in threads like glass,
And ran, and was a part of what rejoices
In thunderous nights of rain; lay in the grass
Sun-baked and tired, looking through a maze
Of tiny stems into a new green world;
Once more knew eves of perfume, days ablaze
With clear, dry heat on the brown, rolling fields;
Shuddered with fearful ecstasy in bed
Over a book of knights and bloody shields . . .
The ship slowed, jarred and stopped. There, straight ahead,
Were dock and fellows. Stumbling, he was whirled
Out and away to meet them -- and his back
Slumped to the old half-cringe, his hands fell slack;
A big boy's arm went round him -- and a twist
Sent shattering pain along his tortured wrist,
As a voice cried, a bloated voice and fat,
"Why it's Miss Nancy! Come along, you rat!"
He lay within a warm, soft world
Of motion. Colors bloomed and fled,
Maroon and turquoise, saffron, red,
Wave upon wave that broke and whirled
To vanish in the grey-green gloom,
Perspectiveless and shadowy.
A bulging world that had no walls,
A flowing world, most like the sea,
Compassing all infinity
Within a shapeless, ebbing room,
An endless tide that swells and falls . . .
He slept and woke and slept again.
As a veil drops Time dropped away;
Space grew a toy for children's play,
Sleep bolted fast the gates of Sense --
He lay in naked impotence;
Like a drenched moth that creeps and crawls
Heavily up brown, light-baked walls,
To fall in wreck, her task undone,
Yet somehow striving toward the sun.
So, as he slept, his hands clenched tighter,
Shut in the old way of the fighter,
His feet curled up to grip the ground,
His muscles tautened for a bound;
And though he felt, and felt alone,
Strange brightness stirred him to the bone,
Cravings to rise -- till deeper sleep
Buried the hope, the call, the leap;
A wind puffed out his mind's faint spark.
He was absorbed into the dark.
He woke again and felt a surge
Within him, a mysterious urge
That grew one hungry flame of passion;
The whole world altered shape and fashion.
Deceived, befooled, bereft and torn,
He scourged the heavens with his scorn,
Lifting a bitter voice to cry
Against the eternal treachery --
Till, suddenly, he found the breast,
And ceased, and all things were at rest,
The earth grew one warm languid sea
And he a wave. Joy, tingling, crept
Throughout him. He was quenched and slept.
So, while the moon made broad her ring,
He slept and cried and was a king.
So, worthily, he acted o'er
The endless miracle once more.
Facing immense adventures daily,
He strove still onward, weeping, gaily,
Conquered or fled from them, but grew
As soil-starved, rough pine-saplings do.
Till, one day, crawling seemed suspect.
He gripped the air and stood erect
And splendid. With immortal rage
He entered on man's heritage!
(A Pharaoh Speaks.)
I said, "Why should a pyramid
Stand always dully on its base?
I'll change it! Let the top be hid,
The bottom take the apex-place!"
And as I bade they did.
The people flocked in, scores on scores,
To see it balance on its tip.
They praised me with the praise that bores,
My godlike mind on every lip.
-- Until it fell, of course.
And then they took my body out
From my crushed palace, mad with rage,
-- Well, half the town WAS wrecked, no doubt --
Their crazy anger to assuage
By dragging it about.
The end? Foul birds defile my skull.
The new king's praises fill the land.
He clings to precept, simple, dull;
HIS pyramids on bases stand.
But -- Lord, how usual!
More great poems below...
Tobacco smoke drifts up to the dim ceiling
From half a dozen pipes and cigarettes,
Curling in endless shapes, in blue rings wheeling,
As formless as our talk. Phil, drawling, bets
Cornell will win the relay in a walk,
While Bob and Mac discuss the Giants' chances;
Deep in a morris-chair, Bill scowls at "Falk",
John gives large views about the last few dances.
And so it goes -- an idle speech and aimless,
A few chance phrases; yet I see behind
The empty words the gleam of a beauty tameless,
Friendship and peace and fire to strike men blind,
Till the whole world seems small and bright to hold --
Of all our youth this hour is pure gold.
Here, where men's eyes were empty and as bright
As the blank windows set in glaring brick,
When the wind strengthens from the sea -- and night
Drops like a fog and makes the breath come thick;
By the deserted paths, the vacant halls,
One may see figures, twisted shades and lean,
Like the mad shapes that crawl an Indian screen,
Or paunchy smears you find on prison walls.
Turn the knob gently! There's the Thumbless Man,
Still weaving glass and silk into a dream,
Although the wall shows through him -- and the Khan
Journeys Cathay beside a paper stream.
A Rabbit Woman chitters by the door --
-- Chilly the grave-smell comes from the turned sod --
Come -- lift the curtain -- and be cold before
The silence of the eight men who were God!
The grey gulls drift across the bay
Softly and still as flakes of snow
Against the thinning fog. All day
I sat and watched them come and go;
And now at last the sun was set,
Filling the waves with colored fire
Till each seemed like a jewelled spire
Thrust up from some drowned city. Soon
From peak and cliff and minaret
The city's lights began to wink,
Each like a friendly word. The moon
Began to broaden out her shield,
Spurting with silver. Straight before
The brown hills lay like quiet beasts
Stretched out beside a well-loved door,
And filling earth and sky and field
With the calm heaving of their breasts.
Nothing was gone, nothing was changed,
The smallest wave was unestranged
By all the long ache of the years
Since last I saw them, blind with tears.
Their welcome like the hills stood fast:
And I, I had come home at last.
So I laughed out with them aloud
To think that now the sun was broad,
And climbing up the iron sky,
Where the raw streets stretched sullenly
About another room I knew,
In a mean house -- and soon there, too,
The smith would burst the flimsy door
And find me lying on the floor.
Just where I fell the other night,
After that breaking wave of pain. --
How they will storm and rage and fight,
Servants and mistress, one and all,
"No money for the funeral!"
I broke my life there. Let it stand
At that.
The waters are a plain,
Heaving and bright on either hand,
A tremulous and lustral peace
Which shall endure though all things cease,
Filling my heart as water fills
A cup. There stand the quiet hills.
So, waiting for my wings to grow,
I watch the gulls sail to and fro,
Rising and falling, soft and swift,
Drifting along as bubbles drift.
And, though I see the face of God
Hereafter -- this day have I trod
Nearer to Him than I shall tread
Ever again. The night is dead.
And there's the dawn, poured out like wine
Along the dim horizon-line.
And from the city comes the chimes --
We have our heaven on earth -- sometimes!
(For D. M. C.)
The little man with the vague beard and guise
Pulled at the wicket. "Come inside!" he said,
"I'll show you all we've got now -- it was size
You wanted? -- oh, dry colors! Well" -- he led
To a dim alley lined with musty bins,
And pulled one fiercely. Violent and bold
A sudden tempest of mad, shrieking sins
Scarlet screamed out above the battered gold
Of tins and picture-frames. I held my breath.
He tugged another hard -- and sapphire skies
Spread in vast quietude, serene as death,
O'er waves like crackled turquoise -- and my eyes
Burnt with the blinding brilliance of calm sea!
"We're selling that lot there out cheap!" said he.
"But, sir," I said, "they tell me the man is like to die!" The Canon shook his head indulgently. "Young blood, Cousin," he boomed. "Young blood! Youth will be served!"
-- D'Hermonville's Fabliaux.
He woke up with a sick taste in his mouth
And lay there heavily, while dancing motes
Whirled through his brain in endless, rippling streams,
And a grey mist weighed down upon his eyes
So that they could not open fully. Yet
After some time his blurred mind stumbled back
To its last ragged memory -- a room;
Air foul with wine; a shouting, reeling crowd
Of friends who dragged him, dazed and blind with drink
Out to the street; a crazy rout of cabs;
The steady mutter of his neighbor's voice,
Mumbling out dull obscenity by rote;
And then . . . well, they had brought him home it seemed,
Since he awoke in bed -- oh, damn the business!
He had not wanted it -- the silly jokes,
"One last, great night of freedom ere you're married!"
"You'll get no fun then!" "H-ssh, don't tell that story!
He'll have a wife soon!" -- God! the sitting down
To drink till you were sodden! . . .
Like great light
She came into his thoughts. That was the worst.
To wallow in the mud like this because
His friends were fools. . . . He was not fit to touch,
To see, oh far, far off, that silver place
Where God stood manifest to man in her. . . .
Fouling himself. . . . One thing he brought to her,
At least. He had been clean; had taken it
A kind of point of honor from the first . . .
Others might do it . . . but he didn't care
For those things. . . .
Suddenly his vision cleared.
And something seemed to grow within his mind. . . .
Something was wrong -- the color of the wall --
The queer shape of the bedposts -- everything
Was changed, somehow . . . his room. Was this his room?
. . . He turned his head -- and saw beside him there
The sagging body's slope, the paint-smeared face,
And the loose, open mouth, lax and awry,
The breasts, the bleached and brittle hair . . . these things.
. . . As if all Hell were crushed to one bright line
Of lightning for a moment. Then he sank,
Prone beneath an intolerable weight.
And bitter loathing crept up all his limbs.
After the whipping he crawled into bed,
Accepting the harsh fact with no great weeping.
How funny uncle's hat had looked striped red!
He chuckled silently. The moon came, sweeping
A black, frayed rag of tattered cloud before
In scorning; very pure and pale she seemed,
Flooding his bed with radiance. On the floor
Fat motes danced. He sobbed, closed his eyes and dreamed.
Warm sand flowed round him. Blurts of crimson light
Splashed the white grains like blood. Past the cave's mouth
Shone with a large, fierce splendor, wildly bright,
The crooked constellations of the South;
Here the Cross swung; and there, affronting Mars,
The Centaur stormed aside a froth of stars.
Within, great casks, like wattled aldermen,
Sighed of enormous feasts, and cloth of gold
Glowed on the walls like hot desire. Again,
Beside webbed purples from some galleon's hold,
A black chest bore the skull and bones in white
Above a scrawled "Gunpowder!" By the flames,
Decked out in crimson, gemmed with syenite,
Hailing their fellows with outrageous names,
The pirates sat and diced. Their eyes were moons.
"Doubloons!" they said. The words crashed gold. "Doubloons!"
Next, then, the peacock, gilt
With all its feathers. Look, what gorgeous dyes
Flow in the eyes!
And how deep, lustrous greens are splashed and spilt
Along the back, that like a sea-wave's crest
Scatters soft beauty o'er th' emblazoned breast!
A strange fowl! But most fit
For feasts like this, whereby I honor one
Pure as the sun!
Yet glowing with the fiery zeal of it!
Some wine? Your goblet's empty? Let it foam!
It is not often that you come to Rome!
You like the Venice glass?
Rippled with lines that float like women's curls,
Neck like a girl's,
Fierce-glowing as a chalice in the Mass?
You start -- 'twas artist then, not Pope who spoke!
Ave Maria stella! -- ah, it broke!
'Tis said they break alone
When poison writhes within. A foolish tale!
What, you look pale?
Caraffa, fetch a silver cup! . . . You own
A Birth of Venus, now -- or so I've heard,
Lovely as the breast-plumage of a bird.
Also a Dancing Faun,
Hewn with the lithe grace of Praxiteles;
Globed pearls to please
A sultan; golden veils that drop like lawn --
How happy I could be with but a tithe
Of your possessions, fortunate one! Don't writhe
But take these cushions here!
Now for the fruit! Great peaches, satin-skinned,
Rough tamarind,
Pomegranates red as lips -- oh they come dear!
But men like you we feast at any price --
A plum perhaps? They're looking rather nice!
I'll cut the thing in half.
There's yours! Now, with a one-side-poisoned knife
One might snuff life
And leave one's friend with -- "fool" for epitaph!
An old trick? Truth! But when one has the itch
For pretty things and isn't very rich. . . .
There, eat it all or I'll
Be angry! You feel giddy? Well, it's hot!
This bergamot
Take home and smell -- it purges blood of bile!
And when you kiss Bianca's dimpled knee,
Think of the poor Pope in his misery!
Now you may kiss my ring!
Ho there, the Cardinal's litter! -- You must dine
When the new wine
Is in, again with me -- hear Bice sing,
Even admire my frescoes -- though they're nought
Beside the calm Greek glories you have bought!
Godspeed, Sir Cardinal!
And take a weak man's blessing! Help him there
To the cool air! . . .
Lucrezia here? You're ready for the ball?
-- He'll die within ten hours, I suppose --
Mhm! Kiss your poor old father, little rose!
Soup should be heralded with a mellow horn,
Blowing clear notes of gold against the stars;
Strange entrees with a jangle of glass bars
Fantastically alive with subtle scorn;
Fish, by a plopping, gurgling rush of waters,
Clear, vibrant waters, beautifully austere;
Roast, with a thunder of drums to stun the ear,
A screaming fife, a voice from ancient slaughters!
Over the salad let the woodwinds moan;
Then the green silence of many watercresses;
Dessert, a balalaika, strummed alone;
Coffee, a slow, low singing no passion stresses;
Such are my thoughts as -- clang! crash! bang! -- I brood
And gorge the sticky mess these fools call food!
Perhaps we go with wind and cloud and sun,
Into the free companionship of air;
Perhaps with sunsets when the day is done,
All's one to me -- I do not greatly care;
So long as there are brown hills -- and a tree
Like a mad prophet in a land of dearth --
And I can lie and hear eternally
The vast monotonous breathing of the earth.
I have known hours, slow and golden-glowing,
Lovely with laughter and suffused with light,
O Lord, in such a time appoint my going,
When the hands clench, and the cold face grows white,
And the spark dies within the feeble brain,
Spilling its star-dust back to dust again.
It was not when temptation came,
Swiftly and blastingly as flame,
And seared me white with burning scars;
When I stood up for age-long wars
And held the very Fiend at grips;
When all my mutinous body rose
To range itself beside my foes,
And, like a greyhound in the slips,
The Beast that dwells within me roared,
Lunging and straining at his cord. . . .
For all the blusterings of Hell,
It was not then I slipped and fell;
For all the storm, for all the hate,
I kept my soul inviolate!
But when the fight was fought and won,
And there was Peace as still as Death
On everything beneath the sun.
Just as I started to draw breath,
And yawn, and stretch, and pat myself,
-- The grass began to whisper things --
And every tree became an elf,
That grinned and chuckled counsellings:
Birds, beasts, one thing alone they said,
Beating and dinning at my head.
I could not fly. I could not shun it.
Slimily twisting, slow and blind,
It crept and crept into my mind.
Whispered and shouted, sneered and laughed,
Screamed out until my brain was daft. . . .
One snaky word, "What if you'd done it?"
And I began to think . . .
Ah, well,
What matter how I slipped and fell?
Or you, you gutter-searcher say!
Tell where you found me yesterday!
There were not many at that lonely place,
Where two scourged hills met in a little plain.
The wind cried loud in gusts, then low again.
Three pines strained darkly, runners in a race
Unseen by any. Toward the further woods
A dim harsh noise of voices rose and ceased.
-- We were most silent in those solitudes --
Then, sudden as a flame, the black-robed priest,
The clotted earth piled roughly up about
The hacked red oblong of the new-made thing,
Short words in swordlike Latin -- and a rout
Of dreams most impotent, unwearying.
Then, like a blind door shut on a carouse,
The terrible bareness of the soul's last house.
There is darkness behind the light -- and the pale light drips
Cold on vague shapes and figures, that, half-seen loom
Like the carven prows of proud, far-triumphing ships --
And the firelight wavers and changes about the room,
As the three logs crackle and burn with a small still sound;
Half-blotting with dark the deeper dark of her hair,
Where she lies, head pillowed on arm, and one hand curved round
To shield the white face and neck from the faint thin glare.
Gently she breathes -- and the long limbs lie at ease,
And the rise and fall of the young, slim, virginal breast
Is as certain-sweet as the march of slow wind through trees,
Or the great soft passage of clouds in a sky at rest.
I kneel, and our arms enlace, and we kiss long, long.
I am drowned in her as in sleep. There is no more pain.
Only the rustle of flames like a broken song
That rings half-heard through the dusty halls of the brain.
One shaking and fragile moment of ecstasy,
While the grey gloom flutters and beats like an owl above.
And I would not move or speak for the sea or the sky
Or the flame-bright wings of the miraculous Dove!

Newly Acquired Wealth Gives Occupy Wall Street Opportunities and Challenges
Having raised approximately half a million dollars, Occupy Wall Street now sits atop more wealth than most protesters ever expected — presenting some opportunities for organizers, as well as some challenges.
One of the most sought-out and beleaguered protesters at Zuccotti Park is Pete Dutro, a 36-year-old former tattoo artist from Brooklyn whose arms and neck are covered in ink. On any given day you can find people crowding up to meet with him — usually at his folding table under a tarp — because he's the guy with the money. Sometimes he ends up handing over a few bills, often he ends up telling people, as politely as possible, that they don't have the necessary paperwork to get cash.
"There's the looming threat of audit," noted Dutro, who's obtaining a degree in business technology management. "So we've been trying to make it as clear as we possibly can so that when it happens we walk away squeaky clean."
Dutro is one of a handful of people in charge of Occupy Wall Street's finances. That makes him a central player, perpetually weighed down by the task of keeping the movement's books in order. He is constantly reminding people to turn in receipts, and has to cajole others into going through the right channels.
"The most challenging thing is that a lot of people don't want to follow the process," he said.
Donations Flooding into Zuccotti Park
Earlier this week Dutro and others released Occupy Wall Street's first financial report, detailing the movement's expenses and revenues from September 16 through October 18. By that point it had earned more than $450,000, the bulk of which came in by checks or credit card payments made online. But more than $120,000 comprised cash donations, dropped into little metal lockboxes scattered across the park. About $24,000 went to cover online processing fees and costs for the protest's fiscal sponsor, The Alliance for Global Justice. The protesters also spent $55,000 during that time, including more than $20,000 on computers and cameras, and nearly $19,000 thousand on food.
That doesn't, however, include all the food that's been donated, from supporters around the world, and companies like Ben and Jerry's, which has supplied the occupation with copious amounts of ice cream.
Protester Bill Buster ,said asked for cold weather supplies on his twitter feed and one donor responded by sending in 125 sleeping bags. But Buster has scaled back twitter requests, saying some people at the camp take the donations for granted. "They have a feeling that if they stick their hand out, 'Alright I need another sleeping bag. I don't know what happened to the other one,'" he said.

Some argue it's time to scale back to a leaner, meaner protest.
"Are we going to start babysitting people that can't take care of themselves?" said Brendan Burke, who created the security team. "Or at some point is this going to not be a protest or a demonstration but a large outdoor soup kitchen?"
With Money Comes the Question of What is OWS?
Occupy Wall Street has so much money on hand that many protesters feel it only makes sense to share that wealth, with other occupations. They've already approved a $20,000 wire transfer to Occupy Oakland, which was raided by police officers last weekend. But some protesters opposed that move, fearing it would set a precedent. Others argued that basic needs still aren't being met in New York.
Perhaps the most telling aspect of the protest's evolution is the debate over whether Occupy Wall Street should apply for 501(c)(3) status and officially become a nonprofit. Wylie Stecklow, an attorney working with the protesters, is examining the issue with other lawyers. One advantage of nonprofit status, he said, would be that it wouldn't lose the 7 percent of each donation that currently goes to the Alliance for Global Justice, the nonprofit in DC that acts as the occupation's fiscal sponsor. The downside, said Stecklow, is that nonprofits cannot get involved in political elections.
One protester, Elaine Brower, argued that becoming a nonprofit would require that the occupation have stability and a core team in place. Occupy Wall Street has neither.
And then there are those who oppose nonprofit status for entirely different reasons. As one protester argued, Occupy Wall Street is supposed to be a revolution. What kind of revolution, he fumed, applies for nonprofit status?
