When I take my daughter to her dance class at our community rec center, I'm always amazed at the number of people pacing doggedly on the treadmill or working up a sweat in spinning class — even when it's sunny and 70 degrees outside.
"This is Boulder, Colorado!" I think to myself. "We have acres and acres of public Open Space, miles and miles of running and cycling paths and hiking trails. Why would anyone choose to exercise indoors?"
The answer likely lies in a concept that's at the core of getting — and staying — in shape: fitness personality.
I thrive on nature and novelty. The thought of a regular gym workout under fluorescent lights bores me before I even try it. But someone else may be inspired by the predictable routine and location I loathe. Ensuring that your fitness regimen jives with your fitness personality is the key to making exercise easier and more enjoyable — and thus a more consistent part of your life.
If you poll your friends about their exercise habits, patterns will start to emerge. My friend Mimi is out the door for a walk at 5:30 a.m. without fail, even in the dark and cold of winter. My sister-in-law spends her early mornings on her home treadmill. As for me, I can barely rouse myself before the sky is light, and the only thing that guarantees any discipline is if I have shelled out money for a gym class. Ideally, it's a dance class, with invigorating music. We clearly have different fitness personalities!
Why should you identify your fitness personality?
"Fitness personality" is a concept that's gained traction among exercise experts. Jonathan Niednagel, an athletic consultant for professional teams and author of Your Key to Sports Success, explains how understanding your inborn brain type can help motivate you, choose which sport and speed you're best suited for, and which athletic pursuits to avoid. In Suzanne Brue's book The 8 Colors of Fitness, she applies principles from the popular Myers-Briggs personality inventory to help readers develop a personalized exercise program within eight color-coded types. And Susan Davis-Ali, Ph.D., who has developed a Fitness Interest Profile survey for the Life Time Fitness health club chain, says research suggests that people who engage in activities appropriate for their personalities will enjoy their workouts more and are likely to stay with them longer.
By identifying your fitness personality, you can create an exercise program that suits your rhythms and interests, which comprise who you are. Working with your personality, rather than against it, can help you find a fitness approach that can become an integral part of your life.
Maybe getting fit is a brand-new goal for you. Consider your overall orientation to life and relationships — do you like consistency or change? Time alone to think or lots of conversation with friends? Are you geared toward goals, or do you prefer to relax and see what unfolds? Do you like to get up early and get your obligations out of the way, or are you more spontaneous, tackling tasks as the spirit moves you during the day?
Based on a range of composites from the growing literature on fitness personalities, we've put together some categories to help you assess yours. Find one that captures the way you feel about exercise — there may be several. Then, check out the recommended workout possibilities, and get moving in a manner that works for you, not against you!
What's Your Fitness Personality?

In this blog posting I am going to share my experience in dealing with some of the challenges in leveraging social media to form and promote lively groups of customers, employees, prospects or potential hires. Its universally agreed that content is the key to attract and engage your target audience. We must remember that good content is necessary but not sufficient to achieve this objective.
Content must lead to conversations
Only 10% of any social media group participates actively by posting comments, questions and answers. Which means a group has to have at least 20 members for any conversation to happen. To sustain a continuing conversation; membership has to cross a threshold level of 100. A group can achieve these numbers only by having sustained conversations. There is no participation without conversation and vice versa. We have a catch 22 situation here.
Someone has to prime the conversations pipeline
Promoters of a budding social media group have to post some comments or Q & A in addition to the content itself to kick life into it. These postings have to be at regular intervals and at a certain frequency. You can't post the content and a few comments and step back. Continued nurturing and priming is required before others start participating in the conversation.
Regular updates and posts keep the conversations alive
Members have to get habituated to checking for updates. Updates have to come at a regular interval setting a kind of cadence or rhythm for the group.
Case 1:
One such example is my experience with my b-school alumni group. Few of us who assumed the responsibility to activate the group started by posting birth-day and anniversary wishes. Because birthdays and anniversaries happen practically daily; the group started buzzing with messages going back and forth. Once sustenance was addressed members got more involved and started conversations on topics of professional interest, travel, get-togethers and reunions.
Case 2:
My company launched a special interest group targeted towards software professionals. We were finding it difficult to have enough attendees in spite of a mailing list of more than 1000 geeks and interesting topics. The main reason we discovered later was irregularity. Later we started following a regular schedule of second and fourth Saturday at 4 PM that was carved in stone. We followed it doggedly no matter what- not bothering about attendance etc. There were days when only a couple of folks showed up- but we never altered the schedule. Today after just 6 months the same group is a thriving community. Every meet is attended by more than 50 professionals.
Case 3
My company has been conducting webinars at monthly frequency for three years now. We have invitations going out every month resulting in a good number (more than 200) of people accepting the invite and half of them actually attending the event. Everyone on our mailing list gets reminded about us once every month. Regularity has helped us get a mindshare of our target audience.
It's no wonder that regular cadence works well for building the critical mass required to generate conversations. We get used to events that happen regularly. In fact we start planning for them automatically. After all that's the way we are wired. Human mind likes everything that follows rhythm – from sports to performing arts.

Two page HD article in Official Playstation Mag this month including a small interview with Tony Buckley. A little misleading as the person writing the article states "Wipeout HD is essentially a best of package that includes re workings of the most popular tracks from ALL THE PREVIOUS GAMES" So if I said that to you what would you assume? Because I didn't realize tracks from Wipeout 3 were in contention for this game.

i had the chance opportunity the other day to meet jodi, of short street cakes.
jodi is running my dream business --- a bakery with a little shop section of hand-crafted gifts, which jody calls the "birthday boutique." the idea is, you go in for the cake and you can get the gifts and the cards and the flowers there, too! months ago, my friend jen told me and the other z-towners about jodi and her new venture and we put together a package of our wares and sent it on down to her shop. and then the other day, as i was sitting in my friend leah's living room, testing out my sandwich wrapper pattern, in walked jodi, suitcase in hand, just arrived from asheville for a two-day visit. it took me a few minutes before putting it together, but then i figured out this this was JOdi -- of short street cakes! she's totally cool! and she loves my sandwich wrappers, so i'm sending some down there for the shop. yay!
if you happen to be around asheville, north carolina, be sure to seek out and visit short street cake shop to satisfy your sweet tooth and your indie-shopping needs.

Well, not really a vengeance. That brings to mind an image of me, busting through the doors of the bookstore upon my return, with guns blazing. "Just who do I have to bust a cap in to get a book around here!" The truth is that I took a mental health day yesterday, so I'd rather not return to work at all, because I'm blissed-out from my nearly 24 hours in the woods. I realize that not all of you out there in Internetland know what I mean be reconnecting to the earth, but my wilderness friends know.
It's very difficult to hold on to anger, while resting by a river. It's tough to think vituperative words about ex's and why's, while hearing the spring bird songs, or feeling the rain, filtering down through the firs upon your waiting face. Those aren't tears. That's a cleansing rain, washing away sorrows and resentments. It's true that I had to return to the madding world last night, and to work today. In the past, I have never been very adept at bringing some of that spiritual contentment back to the world of man (yes, atheists can find spiritual contentment too. It doesn't require a make-believe deity.)
I'm soon to be fifty-four years old, which my son constantly reminds me, either verbally or by wearing me out on the playing field. I have found myself speaking out more recently, at work and in life in general, holding my ground with more fortitude than I have in the past. Maybe I'm managing to finally drop some of my old fears away. That would make the burden I carry through life a little lighter.
I'm definitely not a Let-Go,Let-God kind of guy. God has been absent from my life, and if he's out there, he knows I've always got a bowl to smoke with him. He can even unload his universal burdens on me, if that makes Him feel better. Let's let bygones be bygones. But, never an answer or a return call, so I moved on about a dozen years ago, when I slammed the lid on depending on the fantastical, which I could never really do with conviction anyway.
At this point in my life, the mortal horizon is just starting to become visible. I can see it clearly enough to realize that I have limited time on this earth as a conscious human being. There are many earthly pleasures to still be enjoyed, and the closer to earth I get the more enjoyment I feel. Some of these pleasures I have to enjoy on my own, and I've become better at accepting that without the usual tinge of loneliness that comes along with it. I've also come to realize that contentment depends so much on ones' viewpoint, and I think that -- after all these years -- my viewpoint is finally becoming beneficial to my life.
So yes, I think about the end of my life, and use that contemplation to enhance the life I am currently living. I don't think of the "end of times," because that's a human construction that doesn't take into consideration any predicament except human selfishness and egotism. Since God is just inside your head, praying is really just a form of mental masturbation. You're better off taking a hike, and sitting for a spell in your natural surroundings. If you sit long enough, your rhythms start to match those of your environment. It starts to seem silly to hold on to the thoughts that civilization generates. Instead, one starts to feel the importance of listening to the birds, and deciphering the wind through the trees.
I'm obviously full of the spirit of the wilderness, which, as anyone who has witnessed a thunderstorm knows, is not always peaceful and serene, but it is always honest. Nature is just what it is, without bias, or judgment. One must leave behind those human inventions when stepping into the woods. I do that gladly and I hope to do it more and more, as I get older and grow more and more tired of these ridiculous societies we've encased ourselves in.

Nearchus:
Alexander, the army will divide. Satrapies will revolt. Without your orders, there'll be war.

Perdicass:
We beg you. Tell us who.

Alexandria, Egypt 285 B.C. – 40 Years Later

PTOLEMY:

Our world is gone now. I'm the last left alive.

Whether that's a curse or blessing, who by Hades would know?

But I've paid my price …in blood. And in broken dreams.

They say we were the greatest fighting force ever known to man.

Greater even than the expedition to Troy.

But how can I say it? How can I tell you what it is like to be young and to dream big dreams?

To believe when Alexander looked you in the eye, you could do anything.

Anything.

In his presence, by the light of Apollo, we were better than ourselves.

Truly, I've known many great men in my life… but only one colossus.

And only now when old do I understand who this force of nature really was. Or do I?

Did such a man as Alexander exist? Of course not.

We idolize him, make him better that he really was.

Men, all men, reach and fall… Reach and fall.

In the East, the vast Persian Empire ruled almost all the known world.

In the West, the once great Greek city-states, Thebes, Athens, Sparta, had fallen from pride.

For 100 years now, the Persian kings had bribed the Greeks with their gold to fight as mercenaries.

It was Philip, the one-eyed, who changed all this.

Uniting tribes of illiterate sheepherders from the high and lowlands.

With his blood and guts, he built a professional army that brought the devious Greeks to their knees.

He then turned his eyes on Persia, where it was said the Great King Darius himself on his throne in Babylon, feared Philip.

Philip was murdered much to Persia's delight and perhaps sponsored by their gold.

And Alexander, at 20 became the new ruler of Macedonia.

Announcing revenge for the death of Philip, Alexander liberated all of the cities of western Asia, south to Egypt, where he was declared Pharaoh of Egypt and worshipped as god.

And finally, he provoked the rise to battle in the heart of the Persian Empire, near Babylon.

PTOLEMY (v.o):

It was mad. Forty thousand of us against hundreds of thousands of barbarian races unknown to us gathered under Darius himself.

East and west had now come together to decide the fate of the known world.

It was the day Alexander had waited for all his life.

Son of a god. It was a myth, of course. At least it was started as a myth.

I know, I was there.

Alexander:
In the crack of the Persian line, we'll go for the head.

Antigonus:
Kill Darius?

Alexander:
The gods had brought him to us, at last.
If I die, it's one Macedonian. But the Persians, they cannot move without Darius' command.
Here, right here, we cut the throat of the Persian army.

Parmenion:
This is madness. You'll never get within 100 paces of him. Have you seen the sheer size of his force, Alexander?

Alexander:
Not if you hold them on the left, my brave Parmenion. With your son, Philotas, for just one, two hours tomorrow. And you, unbreakable Antigonus, the center Phalanx. Perdicass, Leonnatus, Nearchus, Polyperchon. If you pin them on the walls of your sarissas, here in the center, their calvary will follow me out to the right.
And when bold Cassander breaks, stretching their left, a hole will open. Then I and my cavalry –our revered Cleitus, Ptolemy, and Hephaistion will strike through the gap and deal a deathblow to Darius' head.

Parmenion:
Since when, by the light of Apollo, has cavalry been used to break infantry line?

Alexander:
What wasit we did in Chaeronea, Parmenion?

Parmenion:
Alexander, even with luck, timing, the gods, there're at least five to our one; which means in truth we must rout the tomorrow, destroy their army completely.
Or we'll be picked apart by bandit tribes on the long journey home.

Antigonus:
Right.

Alexander:
You speak of home and retreat, but do you understand, Parmenion? Babylon is my new home.

Cassander:
Alexander, if we must fight, do so with stealth. Use your numbers well. We should attack tonight when they least expect us.

Alexander:
I didn't cross Asia to steal this victory, Cassander.

Cassander:
No, you are too honourable for that. No doubt influenced from sleeping with Tales of Troy under your pillow. But your father was no lover of Homer's.

Parmenion:
The lands west of the Euphrates, Alexander, the hand of his daughter in marriage. Since when has a Greek been given such honors?

Alexander:
These are not honors, Parmenion, they're bribes which the Greeks have accepted too long.
Do you forget that the man who murdered my father lies across the valley floor?

Parmenion:
Come, Alexander, we're still not sure if it was Persian gold behind the assassination. But that is no matter! Your father taught you never to surrender your reason to your passion.
Now I urge you, with all my experience, regroup. Fall back to the coast, raise a larger force.

Alexander:
I would, if I were Parmenion. But I am Alexander.
And no more than Earth has two suns will Asia bears two kings. These are my terms.
And if Darius isn't a coward who hides behind his men, then he'll come to me tomorrow. And when he bows down to Greece, Alexander will be merciful.

Black Cleitus:
By Ares' chains, he has got balls, men. I mean, give the man his due, Parmenion.
And, lads, feast tonight, for tomorrow we will dine in Hades.

I've seen one before, it was still alive.

Hephaistion:
To whom do you pray?

Alexander:
Phobos.

Hephaistion:
Fear?

Alexander:
A bad omen. More so for Darius. I've come to believe the fear of death drives all men, Hephaistion. And this we didn't learn as schoolboys. It is the cause of all our misfortunes.
So, mighty Crateros.

Crateros:
Your Majesty.

Alexander: Are you ready for tomorrow?

Crateros:
It's been too long coming, if you ask me. The men are skittish as colts and the damn bulls won't shut their snouts.

Alexander:
Good. Fear makes man fight better. Post your sentries alertly, but rest them well.

Crateros:
Don't worry, general. I'm known to sleep with my eyes open as a baby arse.

Young soldier:
Only because someone might steal his loot, sire. Well, someone owes Crateros for his cheapness. He buys neither gloves nor blankets to warm himself.

Soldier:
He's right.

Alexander:
Who needs gloves when you come from grace? Who needs clothes when you can fight naked?
After tomorrow, even the thrifty among you shall be kings.

Soldier:
The gods are with us, Your Majesty.

Soldier:
We'll stain the ground in Persian's blood.

Crateros (to the young soldier):
You're on the first row tomorrow, boy.

Hephaistion:
I've always believe, Alexander, but this seems so much bigger than us.

Alexander:
Did Patroclus doubt Achilles when they stood side by side at the seat of Troy?

Hephaistion:
Patroclus died first.

Alexander:
If you do… If you were to fall, Hephaistion, even if Macedonia were to lose a king, I will avenge you. And follow you down to the house of death. Hephaistion: I would do the same.

Alexander:
On the eve of battle, it's hardest to be alone.

Hephaistion:
Then perhaps… Perhaps this is farewell, then… My Alexander.

Alexander:
Fear not, Hephaistion. We are at the beginning.Anonymoushttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7942586444344634847.post-49775125666946650492011-09-29T20:50:00.000+08:002013-02-05T16:16:32.119+08:004. Conquer your fear
Aristander:
Blood makes the world rise. Blood makes the rain fall. Blood makes the earth grow. And in blood, all men are born and die. Blood is the food of the gods below.

Alexander:
Come, Bucephalus. Today, we ride to our destiny.

Phalanx leader:
Company, regroup! Regroup!
Phalanx, turn right! Phalanx, attention!

Alexander:
Neoptolemus. I remember you the day you took siege tower at Tyre. You were a giant. And today, how will you fight?
Dexippos, by Athena. How far was it you threw your man wrestling at the last Olympic Games? Will you match it with your spear?
And Timander, son of Menander, a great soldier to my father. I still mourn your brother, Addaios, who died so bravely at Halicarnassus. What an honoured family you descent from, Timander. You fight for them today.
You've all honoured your country and your ancestors. And now we come to this most distant place in Asia, where across from us, Darius has at last gathered a vast army.
But ask yourselves, who is this great king who pays assassins in gold coins to murder my father, our king, in a most despicable and cowardly manner? Who is this great king, Darius, who enslaves his own men to fight? Who is this king but a king of air? These men do not fight for their homes. They fight because this king tells them they must. And when they fight, they will melt away like the air because they know no loyalty to a king of slaves.
But we are not here today as slaves. We are here today, as Macedonian freemen!
And though outnumbered, I say to you who know the price of tyranny, who've carried the Persian yoke (for) too long, you have a strength born of your hearts and all their arms, theirs numbers, their chariots and all their fine horses will mean nothing in the hands of slaves.
Some of you, perhaps myself, will not live to see the sun set over these mountains today. For I will be in the very thick of battle with you. But remember this: The greatest honor a man can ever achieve is to live with great courage and to die with his countrymen in battle for his home.
I say to you what every warrior has known since the beginning of time: Conquer your fear, and I promise you, you will conquer death.
And someday I vow to you, your sons and your grandsons will look into your eyes. And when they ask you why you fought so bravely at Gaugamela, you will answer with all the strength of your great, great hearts: I was here this day at Gaugamela for the freedom… and glory of Greece!
Zeus be with us!
Cassander, four colums, go!

Darius:
Where does he go?

Bessus:
I don't know, Your Majesty.

Darius:
Envelope him, Bessus.

You bleed free, My Lord. May I tend to your wound?

No, Hermolaus, not now. There's far worse than me. Go to them. Help them.
(To soldier) How was this done, soldier?

Glaukos:
Spear. But I got two of the buggers. Your Majesty.

Alexander:
You're very brave. What shall I call you?

Glaukos:
Glaukos, my king.

Alexander:
Glaukos. And where's your home?

Glaukos: Illyria.

Alexander:
Let your body go loose. Think of home now. And be brave again. Glaukos …and you will live on in glory.

Alexander.

PTOLEMY (v.o):

The Persian Empire, the greatest the world had yet known, was destroyed. And Alexander, at 25, was now king of all.

They (the snakes) are like people. You can love them for years. Feed them, nurture them, but still, they can turn on you. Don't hurt her. Good. Now…
He calls me a barbarian. He makes a mockery of Dionysus every night.

PTOLEMY (v.o):

Some called his mother, Queen Olympias, was a sorceress and said that Alexander was the child of Zeus. Others, Dionysus.

Olympias:
Women are the only ones who know Dionysus.

PTOLEMY (v.o):

But truly, there was not a man in Macedonia who didn't look at father and son (Philip and Alexander), side by side, and wonder.

Olympias:
My little Achilles.
Stay, Alexander. Down, down. (To Philip) What is it that you want?!

Philip:
Six months. Did you miss me?

Olympias:
No. Not here!

Philip:
Proud bitch, I'm still your king.

Olympias:
King of what? Shepherders? I am of Achilles' royal blood.

Philip:
The blood of Herakles runs in my veins.

Olympias:
You are nothing but a drunken whore.

Philip:
Shut your mouth. You 10-titted bitch from Hades! Which god could I curse to have ever laid eyes on you!

Olympias:
You think people respect you? You think they don't know about your bastards?

Philip:
Damn your sorceress soul! You keep him here like one of your snakes! I told you not! I told you not! You'll obey me.

Olympias:
I will not.

Philip:
You'll obey me, or I'll kill you with my own hands.

Young Alexander:
Let her go! No! Stop! Papa!

Philip:
Obey me!

Chambermaid:
Your Majesty! No!

PTOLEMY (v.o):

In the world he grew up, I've come to believe it was in friendship that Alexander found his sanity.

Leonidas:
You don't need much to fight. When you're in the front ranks of a battle, facing some Northern barbarian tribe, courage won't be in the soles of your feet, Perdicass. Or in the thickness of your tunic, Philotas. Or in the lining of your stomach, Nearchus. It's in the heart of a man.
You don't need to eat every day or until you're full, Ptolemy. You don't need to lie in bed in a morning when you can have some good bean soup, Cassander, after a forced night march.
Come on, Alexander, where's your hunger to twist Hephaistion's head off? Is he stronger than you? Then beat him another way.
Come on. Who will respect you as a king? You think because of your father?
The first rule of war is to do what you ask your men to do. No more, no less.
Good, Hephaistion. That's it. Well, done. Good wrestling, Hephaistion. That's what I want. Come, come, come. You did well, but you lost. Now, both of you, congratulate the other. Go on.

Young Hephaistion:
Would you want me to let you win, Alexander?

Young Alexander:
You're right. But I promise you I will beat you one day, Hephaistion.

PTOLEMY (v.o):

It was said later that Alexander was never defeated, except by Hephaistion's thighs.

Aristotle:
Although an inferior race, the Persians control at least four-fifths of the known world.
From Ethiopia and Egypt in the south to Caucasus and the two inland seas in the north.

PTOLEMY (v.o):

Philip brought such as Aristotle from Athens to educate our rough people.

Aristotle:
They rule, and we sit around like frogs.

Young Nearchus:
Master?

Aristotle:
Yes?

Young
Nearchus: Master, master?

Aristotle:
Out with it. Out with it.

Young Nearchus:
Why are the Persians so cruel?

Aristotle:
Oh, come, on, Nearchus. That is not the subject for today, Nearchus. But…
…It is true that the Oriental races are known for their barbarity and their slavish devotion to their senses. Which are so dull, they castrate young boys such as yourselves, for their sexual pleasure. Yes, excess in all things is the undoing of men. That is why we Greeks are superior. We practise control of our senses. Moderation, we hope.

Young Cassander:
Then what of Achilles of Troy, master? Was he not excessive?

Aristotle:
Achilles simply lacks restraint. He dominates others so completely that even when he withdraws from battle, crazed with grief over his dead lover, Patroclus, he seriously endangers his own army. He is a deeply selfish man.

Young Cassander:
Then would you say the love between Achilles and Patroclus is a corrupting one?

Aristotle:
When men lie together in lust, it is a surrender to the passions and does nothing for the excellence in us. Nor does any other excess, Cassander, jealousy among them. But when men lie together, and knowledge and virtue are passed between them, that is pure and excellent. When they compete to bring out the good, the best in each other, this is the love between men that can build a city-state and lift us from our frog pond.

Young Perdicass:
But can a man love a woman equally, master?

Aristotle:
A woman? Of course not. A woman is a slave to her passion, Hephaistion. Oh, naturally there are exceptions, and we must honor them. Such as Pallas Athena, goddess of wisdom and war. But never forget, she is sprung not from the loins of Zeus, but from his mind.
Now, you think on all this, my young frogs, for in you resides the future of Greek civilization. To strive for honor is the highest purpose of all. To rule over our baser emotions. To follow reason, the divine part in each of you. Yes …To love excellence, is truly to love the gods.
Now, would you stop distracting me? Back to geography, things that we know. Is it possible that the source of Egypt's mighty River Nile could rise in these distant mountains of the outer earth?
If so, an experienced navigator could find his way here, by this river east, down into the great plains of India, out into the eastern ocean at the end of the world and by this route up the Nile, back to Egypt, into the Middle Sea and home to Greece.
Now if only these frogs could look outward and act on their favored position at the center, Greece could rule the world.

Young Alexander:
Why is it, master, in myth, these lands you speak of are known?
India, where Herakles and Dionysus travelled. All these men who went east, Thesues, Jason, Achilles, were victorious. From generation to generation, their stories have been passed on.
Why? Unless there was truth to them.

Aristotle:
Tales of Amazons? Minotaurs, Gorgons, Icarus flying into the sun? No, Alexander.
Only common people believe these tales, as they believe most anything. We are here precisely to educate ourselves against such foolish passions.

Young Alexander:
But if we are superior to the Persians, as you say, why do we not rule them?
It is –it has always been our Greek's dream to go east. My father long wants it.

Aristotle:
The East has a way of swallowing men and their dreams.

Young Alexander:
But still, to think it's these myths that lead us forward to the greatest glory. Why is it wrong to act on them?

Aristotle:
I can only warn you, not teach you: Beware of what you dream for, the gods have a way of punishing such pride.

PTOLEMY (v.o):

Growing more ambitious, Philip now planned the invasion of Persia.

Philip:
Is that the best you can do, Cleitus? Back to the phalanx with you, I'll ride him myself.

Black Cleitus:
No one will ride that beast, Your Majesty. Not with your leg. He's been beaten far too often.

Horse seller:
My noble king, he's a high-spirited animal, yes. High-spirited and worthy of Philip of Macedon. For three and a half talents, I couldn't possibly make a profit of him, but for you --

Philip:
Why would I need such a beast? I already have a wife.

Olympias:
(To Alexander) Do I seem so old?

Horse sellers:
Stay down, stay down. Hold him!

Philip:
A broken neck comes free. He's too nervous for battle. Sell him for meat.

Young Alexander:
Buy him for me, father. I'll ride him.

Philip:
And if you don't?

Young Alexander:
I'll pay for him myself.

Philip:
With what, your singing voice?

Young Alexander:
I'll pay you!

Philip:
I tell you, that horse can't be ridden, lad. His mind is broken.

Young Alexander:
He can be ridden. By me.

Philip:
If you can rule that horse, I'll make him yours. (To the horse seller)…at half the price.

Black Cleitus:
That horse will kill him, Philip. He'll break the boy in two.

Philip:
Will he? Perhaps she'll make a musician out of him yet.

Young Alexander:
(To Bucephalus) You don't like your shadow, do you? It's like a dark spirit coming up to get you. Do you see? That's us. It's just a trick of Apollo's. He's the god of the sun.
But I'll show you how to outwit him (Apollo), you and me together.

Parmenion:
The boy doesn't have the craft, Philip. He could hurt himself.

Philip:
He'll have to figure that out for himself. It's time.

Attalus:
Good idea. Indeed there are times, Philip, when I wonder if he is your blood.

Parmenion:
I only worry that --

Philip:
What was that, Attalus?

Attalus:
Nothing. I was just noticing how the people like seeing you and Eurydice together.

Philip:
(To Alexander) You go, boy!
You ride that horse and by Zeus I say, you can rule the world.

Young Alexander:
Bucephalus. That's what I'll call you. Strong and stubborn. Bucephalus and Alexander. Come now, let's ride together.

Philip:
He got some titans in him, yet. Attalus! Cleitus! For Zeus' sake, he beats you, man!

Young Alexander:
Now, Bucephalus, show them.

Philip:
My son. My son!

Caves at Pella, Macedonia

Philip:
You remember Prometheus, who stole the secret of fire and gave it to man. It made Zeus so angry he chained Prometheus to a rock in the great Caucasus and each day, his eagle pecked out the poor man's liver. Each night, it grew back again so that it could be eaten the next day. Miserable fate.
Oedipus, tore out his eyes when he found out he'd murdered his father and married his mother. Knowledge that came too late.
Jason, he went east and brought back the Golden Fleece, and married a barbarian wife, Medea. Later, when he left her for a younger wife, Medea slaughtered their two children in vengeance.

Young Alexander:
My mother would never hurt me.

Philip:
It's never easy to escape our mothers, Alexander. All your life, beware of women. They're far more dangerous than men.
I'm sure you remember Achilles from Tales of Troy.

Young Alexander:
He's my favorite.

Philip:
Why?

Young Alexander:
Because he loved Patroclus and avenged his death. Because he lived without fear, and slew Hector.

Philip:
Some say he was a hotheaded fool who fought for himself and not the Greeks.

Young Alexander:
But he was a hero, the greatest at Troy.

Philip:
And his fate?

Young Alexander:
That he must die young but with great glory.

Philip:
Did he have a choice?

Young Alexander:
Oh, yes. He could have a long life, but there would be no glory.

Philip:
You dream of glory, Alexander. Your mother encourages you.
There's no glory without suffering… And this, she will not allow. She makes you weak.
The gods have never made it easy for man. Look, Herakles. Even after he accomplished his 12 labors, he was punished with madness, slaughtered his three children. Poor Herakles. Great Herakles. All greatness comes from loss.
Even you, the gods will one day judge harshly.

Young Alexander:
When I'm king like you, father?

Philip:
Don't rush the day, boy. You risk all.
My father threw me into battle before I even knew how to fight.
When I kill my first man, he said: Now you know. I hate him then, but I understand why now.
A king isn't born, Alexander. He's made, by steel and by suffering. A king must know how to hurt those he loves. It's lonely. Ask Herakles. Ask any of them. Fate is cruel. No man or woman can be too powerful or too beautiful without disaster befalling.
They laugh when you rise too high and crush everything you've built with a whim.
What glory they give, in the end, they take away. They make us slaves.
Truth is in our hearts, and none will tell you this but your father. Men hate the gods.
The only reason we worship any them is because we fear worse.

Young Alexander:
What's worse?

Philip:
The Titans. If they were ever to be set free, it would be a darkness such as we have never seen before.

Young Alexander:
Could they ever come back? Can Zeus imprison the Titans forever under Mount Olympus?

Philip:
It's said that when Zeus burned them to dust with his lightning bolt, they took the Titan's ashes and, in cold revenge mixed it with those of mortal men.

Young Alexander:
Why?

Philip:
Who knows these things? One day, things will change. Men will change. But first, the gods must change. But all this you'll forget, Alexander. That's why we call them myths. We can't bear to remember them.

Young Alexander:
I'll remember. And some day, I'll be on walls like this.Anonymoushttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7942586444344634847.post-8480389260469847412011-09-21T21:42:00.000+08:002013-02-05T16:18:53.438+08:0012. Entering Babylon

PTOLEMY (v.o):

Alexander once said to me: We are most alone when we are with the myths.

Babylon, Persia 331 B.C. – 13 years later.

Phalanx leader:
Phalanx!

PTOLEMY (v.o):

And thus, it came to pass in a dream as mythical to all Greeks as Achilles defeating the Trojans. At this one glorious moment in time, Alexander was loved by all. But in the end, I believe:

 Babylon was a far easier mistress to enter than she was to leave.

The crowd:
Sikander! Sikander!

Cassander:
Aristotle may have called them barbarians, but he never saw Babylon.
We have enough gold here to support three generations of Macedonian armies.

Alexander:
And Macedonia would soon corrupt, Cassander. "Wealth in great quantities brings the crows."

Antigonus: Not for the man who fought, I trust.

Alexander:
We'll pay them well, Antigonus, but not as mercenaries for future services.

Nearchus:
Now you sound like Philip.

Hephaistion:
Philip never saw Babylon.

Ptolemy:
No, he didn't, Hephaistion.

The boys:
Hello! Hello!

Parmenion:
Alexander, I know you think me a stiff old sod, but whatever our differences, know this day your father would be very proud of you.

Alexander:
Thank you, Parmenion.
I ask you to forgive me, my own anger, my pride. They, too, blind me.

Cassander:
A magnificent mainland work from the last century. The golden age, Alexander. Worth much to Athens and to our alliances.

Alexander:
Take back what is ours but spare what belongs to the Persians.

Ptolemy:
Yes, we're the richest men to walk the earth, my friends.

Black Cleitus:
Not if you keep giving it all away.

Ptolemy:
The grandsons of goat herders, we now rule 2 million square miles. But, none of you fear that this great fortune may drive us all to destruction.

Alexander:
You overvalue us. For as long as Darius breathes, he is the legitimate king of Asia. And I, but the king of air.

Philotas:
But he has no power, Alexander. He's lost in the mountains with no army.

Alexander:
As long as he's lost, Philotas, he can be believed in. Only when he's found will it be decided.

Parmenion:
It seems that you've already made up your mind, Alexander.

Alexander:
We must finish what we failed to do at Gaugamela, Parmenion. We must hunt Darius down.

Parmenion: That was not your father's mission.

Alexander:
And I am not my father.
Come on, have you so quickly forgotten? Fortune favors the bold!

No wonder Darius fled when he had this to come back to.

Nearchus:
One for every night of the year.

Leonnatus:
How will I go back to Lysimache after this?

Nearchus:
I advise you not to touch, Lennatus. Here, I'll take care of it for you.

Alexander:
Aristotle was perhaps prescient.
Do these images fool us with their beauty and degrade our souls?

Eunuch:
Bagoas, great king. Darius' boy.

Alexander:
Bagoas?

Eunuch:
Nicely gilded, Your Majesty. Most successful. He was certainly one of the great king's favorites. How old? Is great well with the years. What are you, Bagoas? Eighteen, 19?

Alexander:
Where does he come from?

Bagoas:
The north, sire. From the hills near Susa.

Alexander:
You speak our language. Good. I'd like to learn yours.

Bagoas:
Is learnable, my lord.

Alexander:
So tell me, Bagoas, do my eyes betray me or do you wish to be set free to go back to your homeland?

Bagoas:
All my family's long dead, great king. With your permission, I will stay on.

Alexander:
Very well, then, Bagoas. Ptolemy! Administer this. And that's the same of every person in the harem, woman and eunuch. Whoever wishes to be sent home to their families, let them.

Antipater, accustomed now to the power that you have given him. I must watch him grow stronger. I'm certain that he communicates secretly with Parmenion, who is dangerous. But beware, most of all, of those closest to you. They are like snakes, and can be turned.

Soldier:

Olympias:
Cassander is Antipater's son. Even Cleitus, your father's favorite. And Ptolemy, your friend, yes. Beware of men who think too much. They blind themselves. Only Hephaistion do I leave out. But all of them you make rich, while your mother and yourself, you leave in generous poverty.
Why won't you ever believe me? It is only a dark mind like mine that can know the secrets of the heart. For they are dark, Alexander. So dark. But in you, son of Zeus, lies the light of the world. Your companions will be shadows in the underworld when you are a name living forever in history as the most glorious shining light of youth, forever young, forever inspiring.

It's high ransom she charges for nine months lodging in the womb. Hephaistion: Bring her, Alexander. It will bring her such joy.

Alexander:
Joy? When I'm the cracked mirror of her dream? Stay with me tonight, Hephaistion. I'll take my own bath. (To Bagoas) Thank you, Bagoas.

Hephaistion:
What bother you?

Alexander:
I see in her everything I fear. Yet I have no idea what it is, this fear. She was always so sure I was born of Zeus. Why, Hephaistioin?

Hephaistion:
I think there are things beyond our imagining. Like the lightning, tales of strange conceptions. I don't doubt it. Alexander: What is being told me? What destiny do we--? Do I have?

Hephaistion:
Well, if I'm Patroclus, I die first. Then you, Achilles. The generals are upset. They question your obsession with Darius. They say it was never meant for you to be king of Asia.

Alexander: Naturally.
They want only to return to their homes, rich with gold. But I've seen the future, Hephaistion. I've seen it now a thousand times on a thousand faces. These people want --need change. Aristotle was wrong about them.

Hephaistion:
How so?

Alexander:
Look at those we've conquered. They leave their dead unburied. They smashed their enemies' skulls and drink them as dust. They mate in public. What can they think or can sing or write if none can read? But as Alexander's army, they can go where they never thought possible. They can soldier or work in the cities. The Alexandrias, from Egypt to the outer ocean. We could connect these lands, Hephaistion …and the people.

Hephaistion:
Some say that these Alexandrias have become extensions of Alexander himself. They draw people into the cities to make slaves of them.

Alexander:
But we freed them, Hephaistion, from Persia where everyone lived as slaves. To free the people of the world, such would be beyond the glory of Achilles, beyond Herakles, a feat to rival Prometheus who was always a friend to man.

Hephaistion:
Remember the fate of these heroes. They suffered greatly.

Alexander:
Oh, we all suffer. Your father, mine. They all came to the end of their time. And in the end, when it's over, all that matters is what you've done.

Hephaistion:
You once said, The fear of death drives all men. Are there no other forces? Is there not love in your life… Alexander? What would you do if you ever reach the end of the world? Alexander: I'd turn back and conquer its opposite.

Hephaistion:
I wonder sometimes if it's not your mother you run from. So many years, so many miles between you. What is it you fear?

Alexander:
Who knows these things? When I was a child, my mother thought me divine. My father, weak. Which am I Hephaistion? Weak or divine? All I know is, I trust only you in this world. I've missed you. I need you. It is you I love, Hephaistion. No other.

Hephaistion:
You're everything I care for. And by the sweet breath of Aphrodite, I'm so jealous of losing you to this world you want.

Alexander:
You'll never lose me, Hephaistion. I'll be with you always. Till the end.

PTOLEMY (v.o):

The campaign in the northeast of Persia, turned into a hard guerrilla war of almost three years. We chased Darius towards Bactria, but missed taking him by hours.

Soldier:
He was dying when we found him, sire. He asked for water. He drank and died.

PTOLEMY (v.o):

The Great King Darius had been betrayed by his own commanders. Fully honoring his corpse, Alexander hunted down these commanders into unknown lands, crossing even beyond the River Oxus into Sogdia. We fought them as far as the unknown steppes of Scythia, where only legendary heroes had once trod. The surveyors told us we were now on the borders of where Europe and Asia meet. In fact, we were totally lost. Here, Alexander founded his 10th Alexandria and settled it with veterans, their women and any who would dare the frontier life. Unable to accept defeat in any form, Alexander persisted in breaking every tribe that resisted. Until the day he received the head of his last enemy who'd surrender.

Alexander:
Through our union, Greek and barbarian may be reconciled in peace.

PTOLEMY (v.o):

The most powerful man in the world took a girl of no political significance. Why? Some say it was for alliance with the tribes. Others, the desire for a successor. And yet other said Alexander truly fell in love. Who Roxane really was, I doubt that any of us ever saw further than the pools of those black eyes.

Alexander:
On this glorious occasion, I toast this great army that has given so much. And in honor of them, those of you who set out with us seven long years ago, I pronounce all your debs paid forthwith from the royal treasury.

The soldiers:
Praise Alexander!

Alexander:
And in honor of my bride -my beautiful bride, we recognize the many women who've shared the long hard road with us. And grant them dowries befitting a proper marriage.

Black Cleitus:
What about our boys?

Alexander:
And lastly, lastly, the gods demand no less of us that your children be given a proper Greek education and military training under our protection so as to be the new soldiers of our kingdom in Asia.

Parmenion:
Your father must be turning in his grave, Alexander. After all this time, a hill chief's daughter? You call this tribal wedding legitimate?

Alexander: Do you forget my father took a barbarian as his queen?

Parmenion:
Yes, but few would call it a profoundly happy marriage.

Philotas:
But what's the point, Alexander? She's your captive. Just take her as your concubine.

Alexander:
Cos I want a son. Damn you, Philotas.

Philotas:
Then half you nobles have sisters who'd make fine Macedonian mothers.

Alexander:
To take an Asian as my queen, not a captive, is a sign of deep respect for our subject. It will bring us together, unify us. Which is not to say I won't take a Macedonian.

Philotas: As a second wife? You insult Macedonia.

Antigonus:
Never will our people accept this girl's son as king. They'll be angry enough to find out their husbands all have second wives in Barbaria.

Alexander:
Then they'll learn! By Athena's justice, this girl has spirit. She'll breed a brave son.

Polyperchon:
Alexander! This is about the honor of our kingdom.

Parmenion:
Exactly. What can be won, Alexander? We're in Asia to punish them for their crimes. We've achieved that. Seven years from home, now we drift from one far region to another, chasing nomads and bandits when Macedonia bleeds its manpower. For what? To build roads in Asia? To give these people cities?

Black Cleitus:
And now make an army of them?

Alexander:
To found cities and expand our reach is not to drift, Parmenion.

Parmenion:
What benefit to Macedon?

Alexander:
It's far richer than before!

Parmenion:
Look what you give them.

Nearchus:
With respect, Parmenion, had you fought better at Gaugamela when your flank was crumbling we would've had Darius--

Philotas:
How dare you, Nearchus?!

Nearchus:
General Nearchus, to you, boy.

Philotas:
Alexander spread our flank too thin! There was nothing my father, or any of you, could've done!

Parmenion:
Philotas! (To Alexander) Alexander, I've known you since you were born. I supported you at your father's death. At the very least, for Zeus' sake, and in respect to the council that chose you king, give us a Macedonian heir. A Macedonian heir.

Alexander:
You've been heard clearly.

Parmenion: But—

Alexander:
Parmenion! After the wedding, take two brigades back to Babylon, where I look to you and Antipater in Greece, to maintain our empire and supply this expedition. I'll winter in the north with my army at Marakand.

Parmenion:
I pray to Apollo you'll soon realize how far you've turned from your father's path.

Alexander:
I damn you, Parmenion, by the gods and your Apollo. What was in my father's guts wasn't overripe in reason like yours!

Parmenion:
He never lusted for war, Alexander, or enjoyed it so. He consulted his peers in council, among equals, the Macedonian way. He didn't make decisions based on his personal desires.

Alexander:
I've taken us further than my father ever dreamed. Old man… we're in new worlds.

Cassander:
Alexander, be reasonable! Were they ever meant to be our equals? Share our rewards? You remember what Aristotle said. An Asian? What would a vow mean to a race that's never kept their word to a Greek? Alexander: Aristotle be damned!

Others:
Alexander!

Alexander:
By Zeus and all the gods, what makes you so much better than them, Cassander? Better than you really are. In you and those like you is this.

Hephaistion:
Alexander.

Alexander:
What disturbs me the most is not your lack of respect for my judgement. It's your contempt for a world far older than ours.

Hephaistion:

Black Cleitus:
Shouldn't you be bowing to the king?

Nearchus:

Oxyartes:
Alexander, you look weak when you not accept these honors.

Alexander:
I understand, my dear father, but it's against Greek ways.

Oxyartes:
Then Greek ways are weak.

Persian Chamberlain:
I still think she got the better of him in this bargain.

Oxyartes:
My daughter, Roxane, she shall make you good wife. She shall kill for you. Raw skunk, ruler of heaven… and earth. In honor of this great alliance, I, Oxyartes, offer you these great gifts. Some tribe leader: I would like to honor a toast to you from my people.

Cup bearer:
Good morning, sire.

Oxyartes:
We shall fight for you, Alexander. It shall be bloody.

Alexander:
Who's the bear?

Ptolemy:
Parmenion. He's been in complete control of your supply lines.

Alexander:
His pessimism is infectious. But he'll stay loyal, as long as his son remains with us.

Persian Chamberlain:
Her eyes tell me she cares for you, Alexander. Perhaps too much. In the ways of my country, those who love too much, lose everything. And those who love with irony, last.

I found it in Egypt. The man who sold it said it came from a time when man worshipped sun and stars. I'll always think of you as the sun, Alexander. And I pray your dream will shine on all men. I wish you a son.

Alexander:
You're a great man.

Hephaistion:
Many will love you, Alexander, but none so pure and deep.

Roxane:
You loves him?

Alexander:
He is Hephaistion. (To Bagoas) Thank you, Bagoas.

Roxane:

Alexander:
There are many different ways to love, Roxane. Come.

No. No, no!

The myth becomes real.

Roxane:
Great man, Sikander. You I kill now.

Alexander:
Do it. End it. I would do the-- I would do the same. I'll die a fool for this love.

Olympias:
Who is this woman you call your queen, Alexander? A hill girl? You with your breeding. Already she makes enemies with her strong, clumsy nature. Do not confuse us. I was never a barbarian as Philip said. We are of Achilles' royal blood. Zeus is your father. Oh, I understand, she brings you some happiness, but how can she help you? You must know that she does not speak in your name, which is yours and yours alone. Preserve it, secret it and hear me when I tell you, act. And act soon. After seven years, people wonder: Who is this King Alexander? I have given you ample proof. Antipater daily undermines your authority. Return to Babylon and strengthen your center. Or come home to Macedonia and reorganize. But do not chase your dream further east. Your life and mine depend on it. Remember, my only thoughts are of you. As you, too, must face your glorious destiny. Think kindly of your mother. Provide for me. Protect me from your enemies when you are gone. And remember always, it is I who love you more than any.

Alexander:
If only you were not a pale reflection of my mother's heart.

Olympias:
Pregnant so soon, the little whore. He will marry her in the spring, during Dionysus' Festival. And when her first son is born, her sweet uncle Attalus will convince Philip to name the boy his successor, with himself as regent. And you, you will be sent on some impossible mission against some monstrous Northern tribe to be mutilated in one more meaningless battle over cattle. And I, no longer queen, will be put to death with your sister and the remaining members of our family.

Alexander:
I wish sometimes you could see the light, Mother. The truth is, he's taken nothing from you that you've not been long without.

Olympias:
The only way is to strike. Announce your marriage to a Macedonian now. Beget a child of pureblood. He would be one of them, not mine. And he would have no choice but to make you a king. There is still Kynnane. Eurydice was perfect. If your father, that pig, had not ravaged her first!

Alexander:
Speak nothing more of my father. Do you hear me? Say nothing.

Olympias:
You're right. Forgive me. A mother loves too much. Who shall I sing to sleep at night anymore? I wish-- I wish we could spend more time together. Like we used to, when you were the sweetest boy.

Alexander:
There's never been time, Mother. Since I was a child, I've been groomed to be ever the best.

Olympias:
My poor child, you're like Achilles, cursed by your greatness. Yes, take my strength.
You must never confuse your feelings with your duties, Alexander. A king must make public gestures for the common people. I know, but you will be 19 this summer, and already the girls are saying you don't like them, you like Hephaistion more. I understand. It's natural for a young man. But if you go to Asia without leaving a successor, you risk all.

Alexander:
Hephastion loves me, as I am. Not who.

Olympias:
Loves. Love? In the name of Dionysus... Understand how Philip thinks, for your own sake. Your life hangs in balance. I know these things, Alexander. You are nothing to him. His spies are inside your closest circle, to ensure that you don't plot against him. And still, you sleep. You will not live out this year, unless you act!

Alexander:
Stop! I'm his only worthy son. You crazed woman. He'd never hurt me. Even if Eurydice had a son, he'd be 20 before he'd let him rule.

Olympias:
Yes, and you would be 40. Old, and wise, like Parmenion. And Philip's young son would be 20. Like you now, but raised by him, his blood. He will never give you the throne now, Alexander. Never.

Alexander:
What would you have me do?

Olympias:
Whatever is necessary.

Alexander:
Where have you lost your mind? It'd be civil war, clan against clan, chaos.

Olympias:
Yes. And you would win. Because the young ones love you like a god.

Alexander:
I forbid you to ever talk to me like that! Such a man would be forever chased by the Furies.

Olympias:
What have you to fear from the Furies for killing an impostor to the throne, before he murders you and your mother? Why won't you ever believe me? Philip did not want you. You had a condition of the breathing. And he wanted to leave you in mountains for the birds to pecked at your eyes. What you don't know, my poor child.

Alexander:
Lanice knows nothing of this.

Olympias:
Lanice. I was there. Lanice was not. No, Alexander. Zeus is your father. I laid with him that night in the wind as sure as any mortal man. Never had I been made love to as I was then.

Alexander:
Enough. Half the mothers in Greece shared such a fantasy. I warn you, Mother. Make no mistake. You will treat this girl as nothing more important that his other wives. You will behave as we always have. As the first. I wonder, did you ever love him?

Olympias:
What? I never stopped.

Alexander: What is it, Orestes?

Orestes:
I beg your forgiveness, my king. I cannot be part of this.

Alexander:
Who did this? Tell me. Say it!

Orestes: Hermolaus.

Hermolaus:
Death to all tyrants.

Philotas:
I didn't do this!

Alexander:
I've known you and loved you as long as I know. Never will you find a man as devoted as I.

PTOLEMY (v.o):

The conspiracy, such it was, deeply upset Alexander. Not only because it involved the young people who shared his dream, but more intimately, it implicated Philotas, his companion from boyhood when a page confessed that a few days before, he'd informed Philotas...

Philotas:
Alexander.

PTOLEMY (v.o):

…of the plot.

Philotas:
Remember me for who I am.

Alexander:
I do remember you, Philotas, but not as you remember yourself. And it appears to me and others here from the testimony given by your mistress that the true weather of your soul is ambition.

Philotas:
No.

PTOLEMY (v.o):

We all felt there was more here than sexual bickering. Alexander wanted the truth and Philotas' answers were lacking merit.

Alexander: Please take him away.

PTOLEMY (v.o):

Alexander put him silently and quickly to trial by his peers, and whether a plotter or opportunist, Philotas was found guilty of treason.

Philotas:

No, Alexander, no!

Soldier:
Remove him.

PTOLEMY (v.o):

The suspects were all executed. None of us defended Philotas, but then again, none of us ever liked him. And of course his power was carved up by the rest of us. Before he died, we tortured him to find out what his father, Parmenion, knew. But this we never learned. What to do with Parmenion and his 20,000 troops guarding our supply lines was a far more delicate matter. Was he innocent in this? Or had he decided to act before age further withered his power?

Perdicass:
The men will follow their king.

Antigonus:
Alexander won't be there.

PTOLEMY (v.o):

Necessity required Alexander to act and he sealed the camp within the hour of the first accusations against Philotas.

Alexander:
Then go, Antigonus, and Cleitus. And go quickly.

PTOLEMY (v.o):

Three days' hard riding sent Antigonus and Cleitus to Parmenion, the general most loyal to Philip. His soldiers accepted the finding of guilt against Parmenion as they understood well the code of vengeance that made the head of family responsible for the behavior of all. Many of us felt we were better off without that pompous thorn, Parmenion, as Alexander promoted all of us generously.

Parmenion:
If we issue the gold bullion in the name of Alexander then we meet a resistance. Cleitus. Antigonus.

Antigonus:

Ptolemy:
Ah, come, Alexander, drink this sadness away.

Alexander: If only thirst could quench sorrow, Ptolemy.

Philip:
There's only one thing better than winning a battle, son... and that's the taste of a new woman. You'll find it far sweeter than self-pity.
(To Pausanias) Pausanias, you bore me.

Cleitus:
Alexander!

Philip:
(To Pausanias) Be gone with you.

Cleitus:
Alexander, I found you the right girl.
(To Antigone) What's your name, darling?

Antigone:
Antigone.

Cleitus:
(To Antigone) What's your name?

Antigone:
Antigone.

Cleitus:
(To Alexander) I love you.

Alexander:
And I love you, Cleitus.

Pausanias:
Please, no!

Philip:
There you go.

Cleitus:
I'll sleep in my grave, Hephaistion. While alive, I prefer dancing.

Philip:
Pausanias. Who's your new friend? There's your new friend.

Pausanias:
Please don't! Don't! Please, no! No.

Attalus:
A toast. A toast! I drink to our Greek friends and to our new union Macedonia and Greece, equals in greatness! And to Philip, our king, without whom this union could not be possible.

Philip:
Come, Attalus, leave some damn air in the hall!

Attalus:
And last, I drink to the king's marriage to my niece, Eurydice, a Macedonian queen we can be proud of! To Philip and Eurydice, and to their legitimate sons!

Ptolemy:
Don't!

Alexander:
What am I? Son of a dog? Come, then!

Guest:
What a disgrace.

Philip:
Shut up! Shut up, all of you!

Ptolemy:
Please.

Philip:
This is my wedding, not some public brawl.

Guest:
Insolent pup.
Philip: Apologize, by Zeus, before you dishonour me.

Alexander:
You defend the man who called my mother a whore and me a bastard. And I dishonor you?

Philip:
Ah, you listen like your mother. Attalus is my family now, the same as you.

Alexander: Then choose your relatives more carefully. Don't expect me to sit here and watch you shame yourself.

Philip:
Shame?

Attalus:
You insult me!

Alexander:
I insult you! A man not fit to lick the ground my mother walks on.

Philip:
Shame?

Alexander:
You dog, questioning your queen.

Philip:
Shame?! I've nothing to ashamed of, you arrogant brat. I'll marry the girl if I want, and I'll have as any sons as I want. There's nothing you or your harpy mother can do about it.

Alexander:
Why, drunken man, must you think everything I do and say comes from my mother

Philip: Because I know her heart, by Hear, and I see her in your eyes! You covet this throne too much. Now we all know that she-wolf of a mother of yours wants me dead. Well, you can both dream, boy.

Parmenion:
Come, Philip, this is the wine talking. Leave the boy. It'll wait till morning

Philip:
Now! I command you. Apologize to your kinsman. Apologize!

Alexander:
No kinsman to me. Good night, old man. And when my mother remarries, I'll invite you to her wedding.

Philip:
You bastard! You'll obey me. Come here.

Alexander:
This is the man who is going to take you from Greece to Persia? He can't even make it from one couch to the next.

Philip:
Get out of my palace! You're exiled, you bastard! Banished from the land. You're not welcome here. You're no son of mine.

Hindu Kush - 10 Years Later

PTOLEMY (v.o):

In the spring, Alexander marched an army of 150,000 across the passes of the Hindu Kush into the unknown. In his dream, it was the promised route to the end of the world. We were now a mobile empire, stretching back thousands of miles to Greece. Cooks and architects, doctors, surveyors, moneylenders and wives, children, lovers, whores. And slaves. That anonymous, bent, working spine of this new beast. Ravaged or expanded, for better or worse, no occupied territory remained the same again. Although devoted to Roxane, Alexander's visits to her tent diminished as a year, then two, went by without a successor, wounding Alexander's great pride.

Ptolemy:
The surveyors are saying that Zeus chained Prometheus up there. In one of those caves. They say there's a giant eagle's nest just above it. I suppose he drops down each night to peck out poor Prometheus' liver.

Alexander:
You remember what Aristotle told us of these mountains?

Ptolemy:
Yes, I do. That when we reach these heights, we'd look back and see Macedonia to the west and the outer ocean to the east. But I fear this world's is far larger than anyone dreamed.

Alexander:
A world of Titans.

Ptolemy:
The scouts have been up every known trail, Alexander. There is no way across. Except to the south, into India.

Alexander: Were we gods, we'd breach these walls to the eastern ocean.

Ptolemy:
We will, Alexander. In a few years' time, we will return. But first, the men must see their homes.

Alexander:
Have you found your home, Ptolemy?

Ptolemy:
More and more, I think it will be Alexandria. Well, at least it's hot. And Thais, she loved it there.

Alexander:
Women bring men home. I have no such feelings.

Ptolemy:
Oh, you have Babylon, Alexander. Where your mother awaits your invitation.

Alexander:
Yes, I have Babylon. But each land, each boundary I cross, I strip away another illusion. I sense death would be the last. Yet still, I push harder and harder to reach this... home.
Where has our eagle gone? We must go on, Ptolemy. Until we find an end.

There are many things I know to be truth because the Bible tells me they are true. However, knowing they're true and "getting" them can often be two very different things.
Sometimes I go ahead and put these bits of scripture on my digital creations because I long to "get" what the author knew that I have yet to learn. For me, working with the photo and manipulating the words helps me meditate, thinking deeply about the meaning. It also gives me the opportunity to pray, asking God to change my heart and mold my mind so that my life better reflects the wonders of His word.
God is good and does good,

...!yes i did ! well her radio show on my mp3 anyway. Anyway it was interesting as she was talking about emotional demons (how is that for timing?) and she was saying if when you are on this journey if you don't have doubts, or issues come up then you are in denial and you are eventually going to repeat your same patterns again and again. As uncomfortable and unsettling as it is...having insecurities and doubts and questions while on this journey means your ALIVE it means your thinking and pulling back the layers and that it is actually what you need to do to be successful at this. She was also like some days i dont wanna get out of bed and some days im the happiest girl on the planet those highs and lows are what make us alive. I always think I have to be perfect and show people i am perfect and happy and bubbly so its very different to hear its normal to have those up and down days.
Nat wrote on her blog yesterdyay about setting goals. Now I have 4 weeks left of the current program Fiona has me on. Most of what we are doing in the program i am fine with ... boxing movements while holding weights, lunges and squats on the stability mat, LAT pull down machine, fit ball stomach exercises and the TRX. Now the LAT pull down we did in a previous program...and i got to 40 kilos...last week we did 35 kilos...it would be pretty damn awesome to get up to 60 kilos, the other thing is the TRX...im not gonna swear about it or call it a torture device as Nat called it (and yes it is that suspension apparatus Nat) im gonna look at it in a positive light, i wont look up when i do it next and i will expect fiona to make me go lower on it each time and i will master it. I really really wanna do it this week and not feel ridiculous and like a fool. I am just gonna try and take deep breaths not rush it and do it. I want by the end of this period of time for Fiona to say okies TRX time and me to just go "okay" not..."oh chit is there a way of getting out of this?" lol The other thing i wanna do is work on that damn eleptical trainer ! I wanna build it up to 10 minutes...so Nat you can hold me to that :)
Anyway on to better and more exciting stuff ! Tonite i am off to the wheaty for a few drinks (or a few diet cokes as the case will be for me). Tomorrow i am planning to go into the gym around lunch time...just do some cardio then i will grab some lunch then off to the hilton hotel to check in - so excited !
Have a good friday all !

Apparently, we've got to design our own browsers…. The approach is not terribly new in that it has been used for years by fake AV scanners. I had received a call from scammers whose job was to trick me into buying a bogus program for 'only' $299. But, Jenner has grown up and her star has risen.

Discussion 1: Costing Methods
There are several problems that a company encounters in the process of determining the
actual cost of a good or service that should be used in calculation of cost of goods sold;
1. Labor Costs
Cost of labor includes the total amount of cost of the work that enabled the good to be
manufactured or the service to be delivered. Normally direct labor cost is calculated by multiplying
the total number of workers required to complete the given task by the amount to be paid for the
labor per hour (Needles et al). However, the laborers also receive other benefits which make the
calculation of direct cost of labor more comple...

Last week I took this color vision challenge. My result was 0 which means I have perfect color vision. And while I don't color coordinate the crayons in the box I do like to have my daughter's clothes color coordinated before going out in public.
Recently we've discovered that her favorite color is green. Even though we told her it should be pink, it's still green. I've been letting her pick her own clothes out once in a while with the hope that she'll pick something that coordinates so that we can go out in public. She does, after all, have several shades of pink. This morning, however, she decided she wanted green. She picked out a green t-shirt with a design and plaid shorts that might have green in them but are mostly yellow and blue. Definitely not color coordinated.
So don't be looking for us out in public today. We will stick close to home and I will be looking for a 12-step program to cure my need for perfect color coordination in my daughter's clothes.
(I'd take a picture but my new-to-me phone doesn't have a data cable so I have to wait for Dan to come home so we can switch sim cards.)

The Brown Bag Book Group (A.K.A. the Daytime Book Group) meets monthly, September through May (or June if we so decide), except for December when we usually join with Koffee Klatch and Lunch Bunch for a social outing. Members suggest books to the coordinator(s) who compile information on the books and report back to the members. We then vote to select what will be read in which month, usually selecting two or three months' reading at a time.
We meet in members' homes to discuss the selected book on the last Tuesday of the month, with our hostess providing beverages and dessert (and sometimes a salad or such if she so desires); each member brings her own lunch – hence the "Brown Bag" part of our name. Our gatherings are friendly, and we usually spend time socializing before getting down to discussing the chosen book. Hostesses will sometimes provide discussion questions (which are often available from the publisher on the web).
