sounds nice but apple is always way good in performance ....they just have to make larger phones with proper dimentions and call 3.5 n 4 inch mobiles as iphone classic

That's because the software and hardware work so well together for that buttery smooth experience the iPhone is known for.

Lol, that's true...
Too bad, no one laughs at his jokes, cause they are too fruity.

that is the problem with Android specially Samsung.. they work buttery smooth but after around 6 months.. well the syrup kicks in,,,,, we already have lagging with the S3
17. darkkjedii (Posts: 22955; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Yes that has happened n the past.
18. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
well, if you tried 2.3 and stopped there, then you behind the times...funny thing is that I never had that problem on my DROID RAZR or Captivate...of course, I know what I am doing.

Innovation is key which is Apple's specialty.
7. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 4154; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
Oh, you superdelusional iFan...
Do you even realize the chips are being made by TSMC??
10. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Yes, but the design is Apple's, genius.
Probably the next generation of Swift

For your info, Qualcomm leading mobile phone chipsets designer does not make (fabricate) their chips.

Mxyzptlk obviously you and I have different definitions of what innovation means. Improving on an existing product or buying another company out is not innovation. Its either some new "I" device with improved specs or could be Apple is developing a Google Glasses competitor.
14. gallitoking (Posts: 4720; Member since: 17 May 2011)
actually it is innovation... look it up
"Improving on an existing product"
15. MikeG77 (Posts: 414; Member since: 24 Nov 2008)
gallitoking forgive me for not being clear enough in my original post. What i meant was SLIGHT improvements such as making a phone with a larger screen or adding 4G are not innovative but you are correct they are an improvements to an existing product.
9. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Come on Apple!
Show what ARM can do and blow Intel a goodbye kiss! Lol
11. Shino (banned) (Posts: 196; Member since: 23 Jul 2012)
Apple and Nokia are still the only manufacturers who actually rely on innovation and full software-hardware integration. The other ineresting thing will be the new BB, but personally I do not think it will be that impressive. Everything else is just plastic toys from Asia:)
16. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
And yet Android rules. Surprising isn't it?
19. jroc74 (Posts: 6019; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Funny you leave out HTC and Samsung...HTC phones had many firsts for phones. Samsung and their screens....are not innovation? Yea...Samsung makes screens....that other manufactures use.
Your fanboyism is showing.

25 Attractive Black People Tattoos

Don't fear for your euros, worry about your business
Related topics
A concerned reader writes in to ask how a break-up of the euro would affect businesses in Asia. 'What would happen to the euro deposits in my HSBC account? How would I pay my suppliers in Europe?'
These are valid questions, and seem especially urgent following the news this week that Icap, the world's largest foreign exchange broker has been running tests to ensure its electronic currency trading system is ready to handle Greece's exit from the euro zone and the sudden reintroduction of its former national currency, the drachma.
So how likely is a break-up?
At this stage, two years into the crisis, most analysts agree that it would take drastic action to resolve Europe's debt problems, preserve the euro zone and re-establish economic stability.
For a start, to provide liquidity, push down governments' borrowing costs and shore up the banking system, the European Central Bank (ECB) would have to initiate a massive series of sovereign debt purchases at least as extensive as the US Federal Reserve's programme of quantitative easing.
Next, the euro zone's governments would have to agree to establish a single, centralised debt-issuing authority whose bonds would be jointly guaranteed by all 17 members.
Finally, the euro zone countries would have to move rapidly to set up a single authority with the power to oversee member governments' taxation and spending plans. In other words, they would have to embrace full fiscal union.
None of that is going to happen. A majority of the ECB's board members are opposed to large-scale bond purchases, while the German government is adamant that neither the central bank nor German taxpayers' money should be used to bail out indebted euro zone members. As a result, common 'euro bonds' and fiscal union look out of the question.
That leaves two options: either the euro zone's members can remain within the single currency, enduring all the economic pain of sky-high borrowing costs, fiscal austerity and a crippled banking system; or the euro can break up, with one or more members leaving the single currency.
At the moment, member governments are pursuing the first option. Unfortunately, it is unlikely to prove viable for all.
For Greece, attempting to remain within the euro zone means slow economic death. The government's austerity programme has precipitated such a steep fall in output that tax revenues are dropping even faster than spending.
As a result, the government's deficit is growing, not shrinking. Meanwhile money continues to haemorrhage from the country's banking system, causing a sharp monetary contraction.
At some point, the Greek people will decide enough is enough and that the country will be better off leaving the euro. It is possible - although at this stage not probable - that other countries may follow.
The good news is that the euro would survive a Greek exit. Sure, there would be a period of nasty volatility, but in the long run the currency would probably emerge stronger and more stable for shedding its weakest member.
Businesses in Asia would be little affected. If they trade with Greek companies, any goods or services they buy would get considerably cheaper as the newly reinstated drachma suffered an immediate devaluation of between 30-50 per cent. On the other hand, if they are owed money by Greek counterparts, they may find themselves asked to accept payment not in euros but in deeply depreciated drachmas.
Even if other countries - Portugal possibly, or even Spain - follow Greece by leaving the single currency, euros deposited in banks outside those markets will retain their status and value, as the core of the euro zone, centred on Germany, will remain intact.
For Asian holders of the euro, the nightmare scenario would be if Germany itself decided to quit the single currency and bring back the Deutschemark.
A number of reputable economists have suggested this as a possible solution to the crisis. The upshot would be a rapid strengthening of the new German currency and an equally rapid depreciation of the euro against all other currencies.
Happily for holders of euro deposits, this is an extremely unlikely scenario, not least because Germany would suffer acutely from the severe loss of competitiveness that would follow Deutschemark appreciation.
As a result, the answer to our reader's question is that your euros will still be good, even if the euro zone does fragment.
Perhaps what you should really be worrying about are the consequences for your business, given the protracted economic pain Europe will endure if the single currency doesn't break up.

A languid, dreamlike study of an abandoned naif taking a few tentative steps outside the wild-animal park that has been her lifelong home and refuge.
Tapping into a rich undercurrent of poetic dislocation endemic to its setting, "Postcards From the Zoo" is a languid, dreamlike study of an abandoned naif taking a few tentative steps outside the wild-animal park that has been her lifelong home and refuge. Chinese-Indonesian writer-director Edwin's follow-up to 2008's "Blind Pig Who Wants to Fly" casts a melancholy spell in individual moments and tableaux, but there's a distanced, self-consciously stilted quality to this contempo fairy tale that keeps it from entrancing entirely. A fest tour and niche distribution in select offshore territories look likely; the hippos could help.
Set primarily within the confines of Jakarta's Ragunan Zoo, the film quickly establishes the sense of a story unfolding beyond the waking world. The nocturnal early scenes feature young Lana (Klarysa Aurelia Raditya) wandering the park after hours, calling out to the father who abandoned her there for unknown reasons. In the bright light of day, the girl spends her time visiting the various enclosures; Edwin, giving the animals as much weight as he does his human protagonist, offers extended glimpses of elephants, tigers, orangutans, pelicans, a few scene-stealing hippos and, getting the most screentime, the zoo's lone giraffe. A tour guide's recurring voiceover notes the giraffe is stronger than its elegant appearance would suggest, a description that presumably also applies to Lana as she takes up permanent residence at the zoo and grows into a shy, pretty young woman (played by Ladya Cheryl). While her longing for close connection with the wildlife is limited by "Don't touch the animals" signs, she finds a makeshift community among the many other drifters and daytime employees who call Ragunan home. To better orient us within these semi-surreal environs and underscore the notion of viewer-as-spectator, d.p. Sidi Saleh blends observational master shots with intimate closeups, cut together at a studiously measured pace by editor Herman Kumala Panca. The lack of connective tissue between scenes serves the postcard-like structure hinted at by the title; we seem to be experiencing not a story so much as a string of discrete, self-enclosed moments, making for a continual sense of narrative discontinuity that ably evokes Lana's isolated state. If anything, the incursion of more robust plot elements at the film's midway point seems to throw off its delicate rhythm. Lana is captivated by a handsome, wily street magician (Nicholas Saputra) who conjures fire with his fingertips and dresses like a cowboy. She becomes his assistant, and he in turn introduces her to the world outside the zoo, including mobsters, prostitutes and other denizens of Jakarta's seedier side, all of whom Lana observes at a puzzled, childlike remove. Before long she gets a job as a spa masseuse, a development that's moderately disturbing, in part, because the film remains fairly reticent about how far her interactions with her clients go. Notwithstanding a scene of a tiger's appetite issues that coincidentally echoes a subplot from "We Bought a Zoo," Edwin's film has points of connection with several recent festival titles, including concurrent Berlinale selection "Bestiaire" and Sundance prizewinner "Beasts of the Southern Wild," also a self-consciously mythic tale of a girl's menagerie-like upbringing (both "Beasts" and "Postcards" were workshopped at the Sundance Institute). Comparisons with the work of Apichatpong Weerasethakul, with its beguiling focus on human-animal interaction, are also appropriate. Yet the film's uneven narrative progress ultimately feels more willed than organic. Well before "Postcards From the Zoo" brings Lana's story to a sweet, open-ended conclusion, its mood-piece stylings have begun to curdle into art-film mannerism, and Cheryl is scarcely given the elements with which to leave a more vivid character impression than most of the animals. Quirkily pedantic intertitles, offering definitions of zoo terminology such as "ex-situ conservation," add a further distancing element. By far the strongest element is the Ragunan Zoo itself, which, with its inherent tension between natural and unnatural, abundant greenery and man-made enclosures, makes for a gorgeous study in alienation. Pic is well-crafted overall, especially Wahyu Tri Purnomo's sound design, although the alternately deep- and shallow-focus 35mm lensing would likely look better projected on celluloid than it did at the digital screening reviewed.Postcards From the Zoo

A Bed & Breakfast, a Movie and a Cookbook
On an otherwise uneventful day (if there is such a thing for an innkeeper) I got an email from a man who introduced himself as a writer/director/filmmaker. He wanted to talk to me about the possibility of using the Strawberry Creek Inn as a location for a film shoot. I didn't really make much of it, in fact I'm not sure I even responded to the first email. I had gotten quite a few similar emails and phone calls before (a side-effect of being so close to Los Angeles), and for one reason or another they never seemed to pan out. Either the filmmaker found another location that didn't care how they were portrayed on camera, funding disappeared, they didn't want to divulge what the film was about (not a good sign) or I simply never heard from them again after having one or more conversations. Suffice it to say I had gotten a little jaded in the 'B&B as film location' area.
Well this filmmaker turned out to be award-winning actor, director, playwright, and acting coach Paul Kampf. In a follow-up conversation Paul explained to me that he had recently driven to Idyllwild with his wife and newborn daughter to introduce his cousin, who teaches at Idyllwild Arts Academy, to his family's new addition. He had also just completed a script, so recently that he had not even begun to think about locations or other such details. As he drove by the Strawberry Creek Inn, he felt drawn to stop and park. It must have been after hours, or he just wasn't ready to vocalize the thoughts that were coming together in his head, because rather than ring our doorbell he inspected the place by peeking into a few windows. At this point my curiosity was definitely piqued. This 'Hollywood guy' sounded a lot more sincere and sentimental than any I had ever talked to (no offense to Hollywood guys).
We arranged for Paul, along with Director of Photography Rene Jung and Editor Edgar Burcksen, to come for a proper tour and to further discuss the possibility of working together. Upon first entering the Inn Paul handed me a copy of his script, again highly unusual and refreshing based on my brief history with the entertainment industry. I read it that night, and was struck not only by what a great story it was, but also by how perfectly it seemed to fit our Inn. I emailed Paul to compliment him on the script, and to tell him that it felt like he wrote it specifically with the Strawberry Creek Inn in mind. Obviously he hadn't, but he admitted that it felt that way to him too the moment he walked in. It was at this point that Paul explained to me in more detail the true nature of this project, doing so very carefully, as if he felt a very real possibility that this information would kill any prospect of us working together. In fact, it did just the opposite. You see, this was an experiment of sorts to show that high-quality art could be made using an abundance of talent and positive energy rather than money. The film had such a small budget that none of the actors or crew were being compensated. Everyone had signed on only because they believed in the project and wanted to see it succeed. The Strawberry Creek Inn was at that point honored to sign on and become a part of the experiment.
Another thing I noticed, and mentioned to Paul, is that food seemed to play a major role in the script. As I read it, mouth-watering close-ups of enticing dishes being prepared and served were as prominent in my mind as what was going on between the characters. 'How would you feel about using our recipes in the film?' 'Oh, and I've been intending to write a cookbook for a while. How do you feel about tying the two together?' 'Absolutely!,' he replied, so quickly I suspect he had already thought the same thing. Suddenly I was in the Film Food Production & Design business, if only for a short while.
For three days in August 2009 we housed the unusually small cast and crew, fed them breakfast every morning, set up kitchen prep scenes and moved out of the way at specific points so the lead actress (Suzie Kane, or 'Grace') could step in and take over for the camera. We prepared finished dishes for dining room scenes, wrangled chickens and coaxed them to do what Paul and Rene needed them to on film, and provided props as necessary for this scene or that. In between we watched amazing dedication, talent, and energy from the cast and crew come together into impeccably acted, poignant scenes. Having no experience with film sets, Ian and I had no way of knowing if this was pretty standard, but it was later confirmed by both cast and crew that this particular film shoot was extraordinary, and that an incredible bond had been created.
The end result of all this is a beautiful work of cinematic art with the force of Emmy and Academy Award winners behind it. As I write this, From Grace is scheduled to be shown at film festivals all over the world, and it has already garnered awards from the jury submission festivals at which it has already shown. As fate would have it, the premiere of the film to the general public will be at the Idyllwild Independent Festival of Cinema in January 2011. By the time you read this, who knows what great things will have happened with the film, but for all of us involved the payoff has already occurred.
Oh, and the other end result of this life-transforming experience is the cookbook you're holding in your hands. I hope at least some of the positive energy we felt during the making of the film comes through in the book.
The Continuing Saga
of the Strawberry Creek Inn Cookbook
It's late in the Summer of 2012. The pines are deep green and the Idyllwild sky is a rich blue. I sat under a trio or tall pines on the deck of the StrawberryCreek Inn. The sun, blue sky and puffy white clouds performing that great screen saver in what I could see of the sky above. The breeze kept the deck cool, the chickens clucked and cooed in their pen be hind us. Rodney appeared... "Tom, I know you're up here for a vacation. And I know you showed me how to put the dust jackets on the books..."
"I'll gladly help dress some books!" I offered as I jumped out of the deck chair.
Rodney had just sold what he thought was the sample copy of his cookbook. His partner had found two more copies in the bunk house. "Don't they have machines that put jackets on books?" he asked as I deftly wrapped the large cookbook in its jacket. "Those machines do exist," I replied, "but they would eat more jackets during setup than we need for your entire run." I handed the book to Rodney and he delivered it to a guest's room as I returned to the deck to read.
A craftsman making books and dust jackets by hand. A master chef creating incredible meals from fresh ingredients. We both enjoyed the compliments we received this weekend from the guests enjoying our respective arts.

A storm could drop about eight inches of snow Wednesday and Thursday in the Corning area, and nearly a foot in some parts of Steuben County, according to Chip Maxham, chief meteorologist for the WETM Channel 18 News Storm Team.
The storm will be followed by a blast of bitter cold, with subzero temperatures Thursday and Friday nights, Maxham said.
The snow should begin falling late Wednesday, he said.
"We'll have snow picking up late in the afternoon and evening, and it looks like we'll see some steadier snow Wednesday night into Thursday," Maxham said. "It will pretty much snow most of the day Thursday, and it'll finally start tapering off Thursday evening."
Maxham predicts the Corning area will get at least six inches, and likely more.
"It's hard to pinpoint an absolute number, but I would say in the neighborhood of eight inches," he said. "Some of the higher elevations in northern Steuben could get 10 or 11 inches."
Bitter cold will follow the storm, with temperatures plummeting to -1 on Thursday night. Friday's high is only expected to reach 7 degrees, and a low of -8 is forecast for Friday night.
Saturday will be sunny and 24 degrees, with a balmy high of 36 degrees on Sunday, according to the five-day outlook.

Mixing of Medication02/24/2011 |
I would like to know if I should be mixing these medications together and what foods should not be eaten with them.Gemfibrozil 600mg,Premarin 1.25mg,Plavix 75mg,Metoprolol succ er 50mg,Hydrochlorothiazide 50mg,Aspirine 81mg,B-12 500mcg,A 5,000Iu,D 400Iu,Beta Carotene 25,000Iu,Folic Acid 800mcg,Vit-E 400 Iu ,Potassium Gluconate 550mg.
Thank you for contacting NetWellness. There is one major interaction with two of your medications that you need to speak with your physician about. The combination of Plavix® (Clopidogrel) and gemfibrozil will result in the Plavix® being less effective (not working as it should) and cause the medication not to be broken down correctly. The result of the Plavix not breaking down correctly may lead to your platelets being less able to clot, which then may cause the stent that has placed to fail.
There are not any other significant interactions with your medications and nutritional supplements.
Grapefruit juice will interact with Premarin ® and should be avoided, and the metoprolol should not be taken with food as both will increase the medications respectively.

Steve Bridges, 48, a comic actor and impersonator who was best known for his mimicry of President George W. Bush and appeared alongside the chief executive at the 2006 White House Correspondents' Assn. dinner, was found dead Saturday at his home in Los Angeles.
Bridges had recently returned home from China, where he had been performing, said his brother Phillip. He appeared to have died of natural causes. An an autopsy is scheduled, but the Los Angeles County coroner's office said foul play was not suspected.

This year, we now know, one of his speeches will be at Barnard College, the women's college of Columbia University. Obama's aides invited him to speak at Barnard, according to the school's president, Debora Spar, because they said, "As the father of two daughters, President Obama wanted to speak to some of America's next generation of women leaders."
The amazing irony in this Obama decision, which gets glossed over, is that by inviting himself to speak to the graduating young ladies about the exciting life and opportunities he's helping to shape for them in this country, this man forced Barnard to un-invite its already scheduled commencement speaker.
That scheduled speaker was an accomplished woman, Jill Abramson, the new executive editor of the New York Times and the very first woman to head that institution in its 160 years.
After all, who wouldn't rather hear from a campaigning male politician about what he's diligently doing to help women instead of from a pioneering woman in journalism who's been successfully practicing the craft on her own since the man bumping her out as speaker was a mere sixth grader?

A Jackson Heights imam has started a campaign to make April 26, the birthday of the Prophet Mohammad, a national holiday.
Mohd Qayyoom, head of the Muhammadi Community Center, at 37-46 72nd St., said he believes having a national celebration for the prophet's birthday would enable the growing Muslim population in America to have an annual celebration and would foster a spirit of cooperation with those of other faiths.
"We'll give the message of peace, we'll give the message of interfaith harmony," Qayyoom said.

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow took time out of her busy schedule to appear on the radio show of radical leftist Mike Malloy's radio show on January 12. Malloy showered Maddow with praise about how she was simply the best on the tube. Maddow returned the favor with this jaw-dropper:
"I love your dark thoughts. We all love you for your dark thoughts."
(Audio here.) So Maddow suggested she deeply loves hateful talk niblets like these:
1. "The Republican Party needs to be executed as quickly as possible."
2. "I have a good news to report. Glenn Beck appears closer to suicide -- I'm hoping that he does it on camera."
3. "Cheney, by the way looks very ruddy; I couldn't get over that like he must have feasted on a Jewish baby, or a Muslim baby....that's what somebody like Cheney does to get that ruddy look."
4. "I hope he [Limbaugh] keeps going, because that means he will soon croak. Like I said, eventually, he will choke to death on his own throat fat."
5. "Rush Limbaugh is a bigger threat to this country than Osama bin Laden....Why isn't he arrested and sentenced for treason?"
6. "I used to have violence fantasies about Scott McClellan...All those feelings are being shifted now to Dana Perino, violence fantasies."
7. "Aw, Drudge, somebody ought to wrap a strong Republican entrail around his neck and hoist him up about six feet in the air and watch him bounce."
8. On mild-mannered Fred Barnes: "This guy is beyond crazy. I'm sure he eats children's arms and legs for afternoon snacks. This guy is insane."
9. He saw a GOP conspiracy at the almost-bombing in Detroit on Christmas: "The idea of killing 200 to 300 people on a jetliner in order to make the point is nothing. It means nothing....My gut feeling is this was deliberate, this was deliberately done in order to put the Obama Administration in such a vice grip, that it's impossible to get anything done, to raise so much fear, this is what Republicans do, this is what they do."

A former White House counsel to President Clinton has joined the law firm Dilworth Paxson as special counsel, the firm announced Monday.
Lanny Davis's strategic communications firm, Purple Nation Solutions, and his law firm, Lanny J. Davis & Associates, will "work closely" with the Dilworth team, according to a statement.
"I am pleased to bring my experience in strategic crisis management acting as an attorney, with attorney-client privilege, to Dilworth," Davis said in a statement.
Dilworth Paxson adds first immigration lawyer, partners
January 2012
Washington-based Rana Jazayerli, who previously operated her own firm, will serve as chairwoman of the new practice. She represents employers seeking to hire foreign nationals under immigrant or temporary non-immigrant visa categories, and specializes in representing clients seeking immigration to the United States through investment under the EB-5 Immigrant Investor visa program.
Meanwhile, Sherry Lowe Johnson, who was a partner at Trevose-based Lamm Rubenstone, will join Dilworth's Philadelphia office as a member of the banking/financial services and labor and employment groups. She represents financial institutions and equipment leasing companies regarding troubled loans and leases. She also represents financial institutions in bankruptcy matters and companies on employment matters, including employment litigation, policy, and handbook drafting and training.
Marc J. Weinstein will be a partner in the litigation department. The white-collar defense lawyer was an associate at Ballard Spahr. Like Lowe Johnson, he will also be based in Philadelphia.

Graffiti reading "Victory to the Taliban," "Victory to Hamas" and the word "Jihad" written inside a rocket appeared overnight on sidewalks outside the downtown Washington, D.C. convention center where President Barack Obama spoke to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) Sunday.
A trail of graffiti down 7th Street between K and N Streets included the image of a rocket flying through the air with the word "Qassam." Named after a militant 20th-century Syrian preacher, a Qassam is a rocket preferred by the military arm of Hamas to hit Israeli targets.

Made millions lobbying for Fannie Mae, General Motors
The Obama administration has hired former lobbyist Steve Ricchetti to serve as counselor to Vice President Joe Biden, Politico's Mike Allen reports.
Ricchetti, who served as deputy chief of staff under President Bill Clinton, was a registered federal lobbyist for nearly a decade. In 2001, he founded Ricchetti, Inc., described as "one of the most successful and respected boutique government relations firms in Washington."
Ricchetti's firm made millions lobbying on behalf of clients such as Fannie Mae and General Motors, both of which have been on the receiving end of taxpayer-funded bailouts.
Biden's office, in a release announcing the hire, applauded Ricchetti's extensive experience in "public service, business and political life," which included "10 years at the helm of an independent public affairs firm."
Given the critical stance taken by the Obama-Biden campaign in 2008—against lobbyists in general, and Ricchetti in particular—the hiring has raised eyebrows.
"I am in this race to tell the corporate lobbyists that their days of setting the agenda in Washington are over," Obama said on Nov. 10, 2007 in Des Moines, Iowa. "They have not funded my campaign, they will not run my White House, and they will not drown out the voices of the American people when I am president."

The Origin of Feces and the Descent of Man
When I count, there are only you and I together
But when I look ahead up the white road
There is always another one walking beside you
Gliding wrapt in a brown mantle, hooded
I do not know whether a man or a woman
--But who is that on the other side of you? --T.S. Eliot, The Waste Land
Meditations on the Tarot has a lengthy account of the nature of guardian angels. It's pretty straightOward, so I don't want to just rewordgitate what our unKnown Friend says. All I can really add is that if you don't think you have a guardian angel, just fake it for awhile. There is no one lonelier than an angel with nothing to do.
Out of curiosity, I looked it up on wikipedia, and it says that "A guardian angel is an angel assigned to protect and guide a particular person or group.... Christian mystics have at times reported ongoing interactions and conversations with their guardian angels, lasting several years."
UF writes that "The Angel depends on man in his creative activity. If the human being does not ask for it, if he turns away from him, the Angel has no motive for creative activity. He can then fall into a state of consciousness where all his creative geniality remains in potential and does not manifest. It is a state of vegetation or 'twilight existence' comparable to sleep from the human point of view. An Angel who has nothing to exist for is a tragedy in the spiritual world."
I'm just going to reflect on whatever strikes my attention, such as the following: "the formation of wings" depends upon "a current from above [read: (↓)] which moves to meet that from below [(↑)]. Wings are formed only when the two currents -- that of human endeavor and that of grace -- meet and unite." Thus, identical to the manner in which earthly wings are formed by natural selection, the need evokes the function.
UF goes on to say that all forms of radical secularism "can create only the wings of Icarus." I am immediately reminded of Michael Novak's outstanding On Two Wings: Humble Faith and Common Sense at the American Founding, in that our Fathers -- perhaps because they were listening to the counsel of their better angels -- got the formula exactly right for our extraordinary national flight of the past two and a quarter centuries.
As always, when we say that the left in general and Obama in particular are "anti-American," we do not mean it in an insulting or polemical way. Rather, we mean it in this precise way: that the left explicitly wishes to clip one of our wings, which, as God is my witness, will cause us to plummet to the ground like bags of wet cement, no different than any other turkey of a nation.
When the flightless birds of the left squawk about "separation of church and state," what they really mean is the violent dismemberment of one of our wings. It makes no more sense than cutting off the thumb to spite our hand. The hand will remain, but it won't be able to grasp much, just as a single-winged biped is unable to achieve liftoff in the vertical. It has nothing to do with politics, but with a pre-political choice. The politics follows logically from this prior auto-amputation.
True, the leftist may develop wings of a sort, but we all recognize these appendages for what they are, for they are "the wings of a bat, i.e., those of darkness which are organs by means of which one can plunge into the depths of darkness" (MOTT). These are the worldly wings that allow one to navigate through that dark and dreadful 'batmosphere. Most contemporary art and literature is of this nature -- just the further erosion of eros and its replacement with the cold and loveless idols of the day. Such autists cannot soar upward but only can sink downward and confuse it with flight (which it is, until one hits bottom). The Waste Land comes to mind:
And bats with baby faces in the violet light / Whistled, and beat their wings / And crawled head downward down a blackened wall / And upside down in air were towers / Tolling reminiscent bells, that kept the hours / And voices singing out of empty cisterns and exhausted wells.
Yes moonbatman, you may flip and flap your two vestigial left wings of hope and change, but you will never achieve true flight, for there is no such thing as a free launch. Rather, you will simply turn on your own axis in a tight little spiral. Nor will you grow, for you are trying to subsist on your own byproducts. The shit-eating grin of Election Day 2008 will be wiped from the face of the left soon after Inauguration Day 2009.
Our "vastly enlarged perspectives of knowledge should open up fresh vistas of religious faith" (Eliot), not close off the frontier of unKnowing. Remember, human knowledge is like a little expanding circle amidst the sea of Being. Thus, the more we extend our boundaries, the greater the area we do not know. As a result, we have all the more to unKnow in the writ of a single lifetome. In other words, for them the problem was paucity of knowledge. For us, a surfeit. Much of the latter needs to be tossed overboard in order to leave the ground.
Russell Kirk writes that no Christian belief is "more neglected today... than the concept of guardian angels," which is "no less credible than many other dogmas which Eliot had learned to accept.... Imperfect though it may be, evidence for the existence of intermediary spiritual beings is no less intelligible than the proofs for various theories of natural science.... [F]or him, there was nothing repugnant or incredible in conceiving of tutelary beings of another order than human."
Hey, why not? Kirk mentions Yeats, "who believed that some great dead man watches over every passionate living man of talents." I believe this. I believe that through a kind of "passionate resonance," we may enter the interior mansion of a great person and borrow a portion of his precious ʘjʘ. Greater men than I just steal it.
As I sit here at this moment, I have several iconic photographs and pneumagraphic icons sitting on my desk, so I may look to them for a little cosmic inspiration (↓) -- or be scared straight up if need be. You really do become what you venerate; or, what you spontaneously venerate reveals your true nature.
Which is again why the unreal ideologies of the left are so spiritually catastrophic. Should one truly believe and assimilate those worthless braindroppings, one ends up batshit crazy.
Who are those hooded hordes swarming
Over endless plains, stumbling in cracked earth
Ringed by the flat horizon only
What is the city over the mountains
Cracks and reforms and bursts in the violet air
Falling towers
Jerusalem Athens Alexandria
Vienna London
Unreal --Eliot

Stars of Vaudeville #35: Blossom Seeley and Bennie Fields
Originally posted in 2009.
This adorable husband-wife team was still kicking around within the living memory of the Pepsi generation, enjoying a healthy second career performing in night clubs and on the Ed Sullivan Show throughout the 1950s. When Benny passed away in 1959, Blossom cheerfully plugged on halfway through her seventh decade in show business.
She had begun professionally at the turn of the century at age 10 under the name "The Little Blossom". As she grew less little (that is, uh, "blossomed") she developed a reputation for being the hottest girl singer around. She knew how to deliver a rag or jazz number in such a way that you would want to leap out of your seat and dance. She lit up the joint with her sassy renditions of "Way Down Yonder in New Orleans" "I Cried for You" "Somebody Loves Me", "Toddling the Tolado" and "Put Your Arms Around Me, Honey". Throughout the teens she alternated vaudeville with musicals such as Lew Fields' The Henpecks (1911, also with the Castles) and the Shuberts' The Whirl of Society (1912, also with Al Jolson). In the mid-teens she performed with a trio called Seeley's Syncopated Studio.
In 1921 she started working with Fields, who sang harmony, played the piano, and did the comedy chores. The pair was married the following year. As a team Blossom Seeley and Benny Fields headlined in Big Time vaudeville throughout the twenties and into the early thirties. George Gershwin wrote a 25 minute jazz opera called "Blue Monday" for them to sing in the 1922 George White's Scandals. The number was pulled for being too highbrow and debuted with the new title "125th Street" at Carnegie Hall in 1925.
In 1936, Seeley made the ultimate sacrifice. Though she was plainly the star of the act, she retired to support Benny in the development of his career. As a solo artist, Fields flopped around awhile, made a few movies, but never caught fire. The two experienced a resurgence beginning in 1952 when they appeared as a team again at L.A.'s Coconut Grove club in conjunction with the release of their bio-pic, starring Betty Hutton and Ralph Meeker.
Here they are tearing it up in a 1928 Vitaphone:

SEAT has promised to put a sporting slant on Volkswagen's Up when it introduces its version of the new "people's car" next summer.
The Spanish brand's UK managing director told Autoblog that SEAT engineers will be given the freedom to "tune the driveability" of the city car before it's introduced.
"We always aim to make our products the most sporting drive in their segment," explained SEAT UK boss Peter Whinney at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
"So while it might not have out and out performance it will still feel like a sporty drive. Styling will also be important. We'll give it the younger flair compared to the more conservative VW offering."
Skoda is also set to get a version of the Up – making the city car the VW Group's version of the Toyota Aygo/Peugeot 107/Citroen C1 trio. However, Whinney is insistent the SEAT version will have to be good to drive.
He explained the SEAT version will have a new nose and tail while the interior will be given a makeover too. Price point is still undecided, but it's likely it will be less than the equivalent VW rival.
"Whether the entry model is under £8,000 is still undecided," added Whinney. "It all depends what we put in it in terms of options."
There is also a chance SEAT could opt for an ultra-efficient Up version with CO2 output under 79g/km. VW has a three-cylinder diesel unit that would be perfect for this and with SEAT's eco slant taken into account it could become even more economical.
"The good news is in the UK we can specify exactly what we want for this model," added Whinney. "That means we can choose what we think the market wants. We're looking carefully at this at the moment before making our decision."

Re: Put the music in your head with the Sennheiser HD 650 Reference Headphones
I enjoyed your review. I really did not expect anything else but a great review. Based on the previous reviews I have read on the 650`s and 600`s. However, there was a surprise, the fact that they were efficient enough to be driven by your i - pod. This was the one area that was said to be true. That for these headphones to shine, you really needed a headphone amplifier. Also, that they were a little warm sounding, and slightly shy in the bass. Where say, the Grado`s or AKG 701`s, both have a more forward and dynamic presentation. I did get to listen to a pair of 650`s at Lyric Hi Fi here in New York with I believe a Vincent tube headphone amp. They sounded okay, but I had none of my own cds, and no other headphones to compare them to. And that is the thing, I definitely want a pair of high end cans, but its very hard to find a dealer that has a few of the different brands in one store for comparison. |
