Symbolic Meaning
Symbols and pictures have meaning. Influenced by culture and even by intuitive non-verbal communication exchanged in a mere instant of meeting, these symbols, pictures and language are an important part of communication.
Language whether written, verbal or pictographic in form carries the expression of thought and an expression of heart influenced by local culture. To become truly immortal, a work of art must escape all human limits: logic and common sense only interfere. Once these barriers are broken, you enter the realm of childhood visions and dreams.
It is such visions, and some realism too, that we explore on the Art of Graffiti walking adventure this Saturday morning 10/13 @ 10am! Discount tickets close at 9pm tonight….
Book a spot on the tour at our web site or even get a nice discount on Brown Paper Tickets.
I am essentially a painter of the kind of still life composition that communicates a sense of tranquility and privacy, moods which I have always valued above all else.
::: Giorgio Morandi :::
Spring has sprung!
Not that you'd be able to tell it from the weather, which seems reluctant to decide between parboiling and deep-freezing various chunks of the country, but I'm clinging on to a few telltale signs at the farmers market and in produce aisles.
While summer's flavor packed heirloom tomatoes and sugary sweet corn are undeniably wonderful, spring's unique bounty feeds my senses and my soul. After a season of hearty and nourishing root vegetables, the earth is coming to life again in a riot of color and flavor. Might as well celebrate with a taste of delicious food.
you can do that this Saturday on our Taste the Tower walking tour. Advance discount tickets are available on BrownPaperTickets.com
Daniel DeSiga
As a young child, Daniel DeSiga knew that drawing and painting would play an important role in his life. Daniel DeSiga is living proof that dreams can come true, especially if the dreamer has the drive and talent needed—and takes the advice of his father.
"My father once told me, 'If you want to work for somebody, go there and ask. Sweep the floor if you have to.' I walked into the Met and met John Brewer. He put me to work changing light bulbs." DeSiga worked his way up to graphic artist and exhibition designer for the Fresno Metropolitan Museum. While living here in Fresno Daniel was approached to do murals in several locations around Fresno. He created murals on the Chihuahua Tortilla factory, in the main reception room of the Adult school and for the Holiday Inn hotel on the Fulton Mall.
After several years with the Met DeSiga moved on to Santa Fe. "My dream had always been to go to Santa Fe and work with a great artist, " DeSiga said. "I knew that's where it was happening in Southwestern art."
His work now reflects a colorful heritage, influenced by many years study with other renown artists. DeSiga enriches his works with his Latino and Native American roots using colors and images of the American west capturing the plight and contributions of the Mexican-American migrant worker. His work is also published in textbooks and featured at the National Museum of American Art/Smithsonian Institute in DC.
Although DeSigna has moved on from Fresno our city is the better for his mark left behind in his works. Sadly, the mural beside the Holiday Inn pool is long gone, but the current owners are considering a new work for the wall. Meanwhile, you can step out with About Town Taste on an Urban Taste of the Fulton Mall and experience other world-renowned art works, and the historic mall itself, before it's gone. Why not join us this Saturday morning for an adventure of art, history & food tastes?
Advance reservations are required and you can save $5!

Rob Carey is an American school teacher living in Kandern, Germany; He's also an artist and even has ties back to Fresno. Frequently sketching the area around where he lives Rob also chronicles his travels to other locations around Europe or the US while on furlough.
"Until recently, my sketching consisted of chalkboard doodles for my students, but this year I began working in a sketchbook with pencils, fine point pens and watercolor" shares Rob.
The Rhine River, just minutes from the borders of Switzerland and France is his home now. This makes an ideal location for sketching a variety of images, from the crowded streetcars of Basel, to the half-timbered houses of the Alsace region. With an eye for the minutest detail Rob sketches the old farmhouses just down the road. You know, the one with the gaping cracks and
the crooked shutters or houses that hold hundreds of memories and stories from years gone by.
Rob's sketches vary between a loose, informal feeling and more controlled architectural renderings. They often explore a fascination with light and shadow affecting architectural forms.
Rob's work came to my attention via a friends post of a recent drawing. The subjectwas the Warnors Theater. I was amazed by the detail given to the piece but did not pay much attention to who the artist was. As happens sometimes, I had just participated in a conversation culminating with a request to find some local art that could be used for All Things Fresno gallery. They were looking for a work to represent the store. Remembering the sketch I pulled it up. I was quite surprised to see who the artist was. I never knew Rob as an artist… I knew him and his lovely family as missionaries teaching in Kandern.
And the rest of the story? You'll have to stop by All Things Fresno soon and find out! They're open T-Sat 12-4 located in hte historic Warnors building on Fulton.

Activist investor Bill Ackman may be busy on the M&A trail these days, but he hasn't backed away from his real passion — trying to take down Herbalife, the nutritional supplements company he has bet $1 billion is a pyramid scheme.
Proving he's still focused on the Los Angeles company, Ackman next week will unveil the results of an almost two-year probe by his Pershing Square hedge fund into Herbalife nutrition clubs, The Post has learned.
The findings, according to Ackman, will show how the nutrition clubs — owned and operated by Herbalife's independent distributors — perpetuate the fraud.
Herbalife, which is under investigation by several regulators, has consistently maintained that it is not a pyramid scheme.
The hedge fund mogul, who has been busy in recent weeks helping Valeant Pharmaceuticals launch a $53 billion hostile takeover of botox maker Allergan, wouldn't elaborate but a webcast of the probe's finding is slated for 10 a.m. New York time on July 22.
Nutrition clubs were started in Mexico by Herbalife distributors as a way to introduce customers to the company's shakes and other products and to recruit other distributors.
There are 3,000 nutrition clubs in the metropolitan New York area, an Herbalife executive told The Post. Dozens are clustered in the Corona neighborhood in Queens.
Ackman and other Herbalife critics have long said nutrition clubs are little more than recruitment venues, or what Ackman calls a "pyramid within a pyramid."
Under a pyramid scheme, distributors' profits come mostly from recruitment, not from selling products to customers. The scheme requires the constant addition of new distributors or it will collapse.
A new profile of a top Herbalife distributor posted Monday on Pershing Square's Herbalife site seemed to reinforce Ackman's allegation that the purpose of nutrition clubs is recruiting new distributors.
Herbalife executive president's team member Brad Harris, a former hydraulic mechanic who runs several nutrition clubs, is quoted telling prospective recruits that, "People are going to see this and want to duplicate this and that's when you start making royalties, which is the exciting part of our business."
"We can actually build a distributorship by doing what we're doing here," Harris said, explaining the role of Herbalife weight-loss challenges that are done at nutrition clubs.

President Trump is bringing some 2,000 troops home from Syria, claiming the battle against ISIS is won.
I can't say I know what the correct policy is here. I just don't understand the situation on the ground in Syria well enough. And I expect Trump will maintain some kind of presence in Syria.
But I do know that when we have pulled out of these places before, as Barack Obama did in Iraq prior to the creation of ISIS, there has been a resurgence of extremist violence. So I'm concerned. Wondering what you think about it.

BI-AX Corn-Based Film Achieves Price Parity
- Published: November 18, 2014
WINGHAM, ON, CANADA | BI-AX International offers corn-based Evlon plastic film, for which it is claiming single-digit-percentage price parity.
Evlon is available in a wide range of thicknesses that company says can be used in many types of consumer packaging, and in the past, carried a price premium 30% to 40% higher than conventional petroleum-based films.
"We believe that [a recent] urgent call from the United Nations to reduce fossil fuel consumption will in turn fuel demand for compostable, biodegradable plastic film made without any hydrocarbon inputs," says Tom Inglis, BI-AX's general manager. "Environmentally aware consumers are demanding an earth-friendly approach motivated by knowledge that plastic litter is leaching known carcinogens and hormone disruptors into the earth's soil and water. Government legislation isn't far behind, with municipalities across North America demanding that retail stores and corporations pick up more of the tab for recycling mountains of plastic and other waste."
Evlon is certified by the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) as a packaging material that can disintegrate and biodegrade quickly and safely when composted in a professionally managed facility. When composted all that remains is water and carbon dioxide.
Evlon's key ingredient is corn, a renewable field crop that provides starch, converted to sugar, then fermented to form lactic acid. The lactic acid is converted into a lactide molecule using heat, and then the lactic acid molecules are polymerized to form PLA, or Ingeo, provided to BI-AX by NatureWorks LLC, Minnetonka, MN.
BI-AX employs a proprietary process to turn the PLA into manufactured film, i.e., the raw material for printable, packaging including health food and produce wrappers, gift bags, candy wrappers, snack food bags, DVD and CD wraps, rigid cosmetics containers, labels, folding cartons, and more.

People who can accept a break up AND people who can't and continue to wallow in their own misery pretending there is still a chance when there isn't
I'm a professional. Or at least I like to think I am. Of what, I am not sure, but I want to believe that there is some sort of code of conduct I will be violating with this blog entry. Because really, it is only satisfying if I am crossing the line, killing the illusion, or breaking the fourth wall.
I say this because there comes a time in every professional's life, when they must take personal matters into their own frustrated, disgusted hands and rant about it in an online forum. I choose this very blog, (twosortsofpeople.com "like it" on Facebook!), to do just that.
Because, ladies and gentlemen, I discovered something tonight. Yes, yes, I did. Something many of you, formerly heartbroken individuals may already be quite familiar with. There is something called a "break up." For those of you familiar with the term, you may skip ahead. But for others, who have yet to experience such a travesty, continue reading, my sweet break up virgins. You shall quickly be enlightened. I'll start from the beginning.
Break up: (n.) A term used to describe the end of a relationship between two people due to one party's eternal lack of character, respect, and non-asshole behavior.
Straight out of Webster's, ver-f***ing-batim.
But if that does not characterize this situation well enough for your innocent minds to understand, allow me to consult Urbandictionary.com for further explanation.
On August 22, 2003, "Swampy", a fine bloke of prominent upbringing, explained that a break up is "the most probable outcome after your girlfriend finds you playing hide the sausage with her sister." Nice one, Swampy!
On July 21, 2006, "Babanash," a well-educated fellow from Newport, Rhode Island, reveals that a break up is "the time when the person who you love the most kicks you hard on your ass and tells you to fuck off." Poor, Baba.
On August 21, 2003, "EroticusPrime," a middle-aged white man who sold his daughter's Barbie collection on Ebay to buy the Full House dvd boxset, preaches that a break up is "when yo ho don't want you no mo, and/or you don't want her, you break up." Werd.
As you can see, there are some consistent themes among the definitions of this term. Yet there still seems to be a disconnect for some people. Because what I learned tonight is that there are two kinds of people in the world:
People who can accept a break up AND people who can't and wallow in their own misery pretending there is still a chance when there isn't.
I understand that there are varying levels of intelligence. I get it. I'm not here to judge. Some people are simply not as intellectually gifted as others. Perhaps there are some people who take phrases like "I never want to talk to you again," and "leave me alone," and "stop calling me, I hate you," as invitations for continuous contact, even, I don't know, twelve months after a break up. Totally normal! Or is it?
After yet another vague and unaccounted for study, conducted by anonymous researchers, it has been found that only 1 in 27 individuals think this is normal behavior. The other 26 think you need to safely and quickly remove head from rectum, check for your ball sack, and deal with the fact that it is over. Yes, over. There shall be no miracle of miracles here that will reunite you with that special someone who wants nothing to do with you. Let it go, and for God's sake, move on. It's just getting pathetic.
Now, I may sound like a heartless, scum sucking, ho bag. But I preach a gospel of truth and unquestionable accuracy. There's an acceptable amount of time you can contact an ex, before throwing in the towel and telling her to go die in a fire. A few weeks, of course. Three months, maybe. But twelve months later is not in that time frame.
SO for those of you who fall in the category of the kind of person who can't accept a break up and chooses to wallow in your own misery pretending there is still a chance when there isn't, I provide you with a top five list of ways, to NOT get over someone.
1. Three months after your breakup: Continue to text her several times a day, to no response, to remind her that she is a horrible person, and a whore for leaving you. Repeat this for the next several months, leaving her voicemails and sending her texts reminding her why no one will ever love her. Don't forget to explain that you hope she is abused in her next relationship!
2. Six months after your breakup: Start a serious relationship with another person, only to continue asking, to no response, for sexual favors and other inappropriate things from your ex. She will continue to reject you, but that just means it's working!
3. Ten months after your breakup: Impregnate your new girlfriend but pretend it is still your ex's fault that your relationship didn't work.
4. Eleven months after your breakup: Show up at your ex's apartment when she is not home, then leave her a voicemail asking where she is.
5. Twelve months after your breakup: Text your ex, and proposition her for sex. She will most definitely be offended and angry but that's ok! Just ask again! Explain that she is better than your pregnant girlfriend, because you're a scumbag who can't keep it in his pants.
These are five, surefire techniques to ensure you will spend a year staggering through life in a state of eternal self pity, unwilling to take responsibility for your own unhappiness.
This guy's got the idea:
However, if you want to become the other kind of person, the kind who can accept a break up like a mature, rational, human being, please take the following steps:
1. Stop texting your ex. She has been trying to move on for a long time now. Let it happen. Stop making her more miserable than she has to be.
2. Stop reducing her to a sexual asset you once had, and cease to ask her for anymore sexual favors. She is NOT interested.
3. Focus on your new girlfriend. It is not her fault that you are too much of a jackass to get over someone before starting a new relationship.
4. Pull yourself together. 'Nuff said.
5. Grow a pair and let it go. It's been a year.
So there you have. Follow these steps and you will surely live a life of happiness and less regret.
Thank you for reading, supporting my rant, and allowing me the opportunity for some long due vindication.

But what really gets me fired up about burning wood is the sheer beauty of it. The way these pieces, split by my arborist neighbor from the many trees he cuts all over greater Boston, fit together to make a solid stack--like the tiles in a mosaic, in three dimensions. Their heft and hardness against my chest when I bring them in to burn. The little thrill of ignition as the kindling leaps into flame, I add a few small pieces, and the fire quickens. Even the ash, so pure and fine when I shovel it out and bag it for use in the garden later on. And the smell, drifting down the street in one direction or another, speaking to passers-by of woods and campfires and the out-of-doors, so that strangers sometimes stop to tell me, when I'm outside hauling in more logs, how glad they are for the smell of it.
Wood warms in so many ways, it would be a cold season without it.

Presuppositionalism is a Christian apologetic method that seems to be invading Christian theology as of late; ever since presuppositionalism was first promulgated by Cornelius Van Til it has been gaining more and more adherents. This, I believe, is to be expected, because presuppositionalism seems prima facie plausible and even intellectually appealing. Yet, after a closer glance towards the philosophical underpinnings of presuppositionalism, I maintain that it can be demonstrated to rest on egregious conflations and misunderstandings. It is one—there are many more—of these conflations that will occupy our attention at the present moment.
Let us begin with a quick formulation of presuppositionalism. Presuppositionalism is a method whereby one defends the Christian worldview, yet it attempts to complete this journey through a peculiar path. Presuppositionalism disagrees with all other methods of rational inquiry by beginning epistemologically with God, and scripture, whereas all other methods begin with man as their reference point. Presuppositionalism claims that every man adheres to an ultimate authority, and that the ultimate authority must be God and the Bible, as opposed to human autonomy. Moreover, since this authority is ultimate, it must be the light that illuminates all the facts we interpret. It must be the presupposition under which we bring our thoughts into conformity; that is, it must be the ultimate foundation that supports all our inferences. In his Defense of the Faith, Cornelius Van Til, the father of presuppositionalism, states the following:
It is the actual existence of the God of Christian theism and the infallible authority of Scripture which speaks to sinners of this God that must be taken as the presupposition of the intelligibility of any fact in the world.
A presupposition, as formulated in this context, is analogous to that of an axiom or a postulate. If something is presupposed then it is something which does not need justification, which is self-evident, and which provides the foundation for subsequent inferences—i.e. all premises can be traced back to this presupposition. Therefore, the presuppositionalist maintains that God and scripture must be one's presupposition, and that this presupposition does not need justification, is self-evident, and provides the foundation for all rational inquiry. But, how does one arrive at such a thesis as claiming that God and scripture can be assumed as such a presupposition? Van Til articulates:
As Christians we hold that determinate human experience could work to no end, could work in accordance with no plan, and could not even get under way, if it were not for the existence of the absolute will of God. It is on this ground then that we hold to the absolute will of God as the presupposition of the will of man.
My interest is only to show that it takes an ultimate cause, God, if there are to be genuine second causes. In other words, it is only on the presupposition of the truth of Christianity that science is to be explained.
Van Til is claiming that if Christianity is true, then the whole of human experience depends ontologically on God. Therefore, our being depends on God's being, and thus God's consciousness must be presupposed in every instance of our consciousness.
Yet, this is where presuppositionalists have made a huge error. While the above formulations by Van Til seem appealing, to Christians, they, nevertheless, rest on a fallacious bait-and-switch whereby ontology is conflated with epistemology. That is, Van Til makes a claim regarding our existence being somehow dependent upon (or beginning with) God and then infers that our epistemology must also be dependent upon (and begin with) God. But, there is no reason to believe that the origin of being is equivalent to the origin of knowledge. Now, I as a Christian believe in God and, therefore, believe that our being is grounded in and finds its origination in God. But, this does not mean that our knowledge, therefore, must also begin with God. As R.C. Sproul says, "The order of being is not equivalent to the order of knowledge." For example, our being is in some (secondary) sense caused by and begins with our parents, but it does not follow that our knowledge is also caused by and begins with our parents.
Furthermore, not only is the presuppositionalist's jump from ontology to epistemology unwarranted, but, even if the jump were warranted, it seems to betray the nature of epistemology itself. For, in order for one to gain knowledge, they must begin with themselves—that is, with their own consciousness as their starting point (hence, Descartes cogito ergo sum). But, if we must begin with ourselves as the epistemological starting point, then how can we, as the presuppositionalist asserts, begin with God? Moreover, how is it even possible to begin outside of ourselves epistemologically? Surely such a venture is incoherent. Yet, this is what must take place if God and scripture are to be presupposed. Thus, it seems that presuppositionalists have simply misunderstood the nature of epistemology.
What we have witnessed is that the foundational claim of presuppositionalism—that God and scripture must be presupposed—rests on a conflation of ontology and epistemology, as well as a simple misunderstanding of the nature of how we acquire knowledge in the first place. A method that misconstrues so many fundamental aspects of philosophy should, obviously, not be adhered to.

text: Today's Responsorial Psalm from Psalm 130: If you, O Lord, mark iniquities, who can stand? If the Lord, who alone can take away our sins, proclaims that we are guilty, then we are guilty indeed. The Communion antiphon that came later from Ezekiel 33.11: As I live, says the Lord, I do not desire the death of the sinner, but rather that he turn back and live. We see that all we need to do is to turn back to the Lord and we shall live. We can choose to remain in our sinful state or have God take away our sins.

Mosaic SA is a charity that raises money for housing and education for poor kids in South Africa. I initially built the original site for the South Africa operation a few years ago, and then management decided to go with a local web guy for more timely updates. When the US fundraising arm decided to establish a web presence to publicize fundraising efforts, they called me and asked me to build the site. I'm happy to be associated with an organization that does such worthwhile work.

The Amazing Spider-Man Movie Review: Another Webbed Wonder?by Joel D Amos at . Comments
Marc Webb had a tough task bringing Spider-Man back after such a short break. Composing this The Amazing Spider-Man review is tricky given that fact. But, given serious thought, it is not quite as difficult knowing how much heart and soul the filmmaker poured into making his first big budget film. Although there is not much that is terribly different than Sam Raimi's first go around in the Spider-Man world, Webb's version exceeds Raimi's on many levels.
Movie Fanatic has trouble calling this film a reboot as it is honestly more of a remake. But with a much better cast of players, action sequences that far surpass the 2002 origins story and a villain that feels more personally pertinent to Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield)… The Amazing Spider-Man is one fine film.
Webb's film begins in similar fashion. Parker is a high school outcast who is good with a camera, has a crush on school beauty Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) and is a soul still haunted by the disappearance of his parents when he was a boy. He lives with his Aunt and Uncle (Sally Field and Martin Sheen) and seems destined for a life of parental mystery and mediocrity.
He discovers a briefcase of his father's while going through the basement and his fate begins to change. He visits Oscorp to investigate his father's connection to the establishment and its leader Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans). There he meets Stacy, a lead intern for the company, who is immediately intrigued by Parker's persona and his cunning smarts. It is also on this fateful visit to Oscorp that he is bitten by the insect that will turn him into Spider-Man.
Another beat that is the same in both films and should be there given its importance in the Spider-Man mythology -- is the tragedy that befalls Parker's uncle. With his newfound Spidey powers, Peter evolves into "the vigilante known as Spider-Man" as Captain Stacy (Denis Leary) calls him.
But, what is incredibly unique to this story is the complications that arise from Peter's courting of Gwen, given that Captain Stacy is her father. The police captain is equally the father figure Peter has been searching for, and the foil to his nightly exploits saving the city from bad guys.
Stone and Garfield have sizzling chemistry as evidenced in The Amazing Spider-Man trailer.
Their relationship is much more compelling than that MJ-Peter Parker romance from Raimi's films. Perhaps it is because both are better actors or the love story is flushed out more effectively. Regardless, what also works is their love story isn't the driving force of the film, as it was in the first trilogy.
The Amazing Spider-Man is a film about Parker and it is solely his journey that compels audiences throughout the almost two hour flick. Garfield could not have been more perfectly cast as the title character. He exhibits the humor that is quite present in the comic books and the actor adds emotional layers to the Peter Parker/Spider-Man duality that the role honestly requires.
We adore Willem Dafoe, but when Ifans becomes The Lizard and the Spider-Man versus Lizard battle ensues -- as seen in these The Amazing Spider-Man clips -- the good versus evil dynamic has much more power than it did in the 2002 film. Because Dr. Connor worked closely with Peter's father, there is an empathy for his foe that forces our hero to at once try to eradicate the city of The Lizard, while simultaneously trying to help the man who may hold the answers to the secrets of Peter's parents' disappearance.
Webb deserves some serious credit for stepping into this franchise so soon after Tobey Maguire hung up his suit. He has crafted a story that many will feel is too similar to Raimi's. At its heart, this is an origins story and that is inescapable. Similarities are to be expected. It is what Webb does with the story, and his most expertly cast group of actors, that the filmmaker gives us a Spider-Man that is truly amazing.

What is this light that will finally dawn? For those who've been following this blog from the beginning the answer should come as no surprise. As I wrote in an earlier post: "Funny thing about this thing called 'wealth.' After all that devastation, you'll look around you in every direction and not notice one single thing of any real importance that's any different from the way it was before."
It was only when I came to the realization that the "catastrophe" everyone now fears is in fact a grand illusion (though an illusion with potentially tragic consequences), that I felt the need to write about it in the voice of a poet -- and with the authority of a poet. And here I am speaking not simply of my own poetry, which may or may not have some lasting value, but on behalf of the great poets, the visionaries, capable of seeing far beyond the intellectual limitations of their own time.
The most rigorous logic is nevertheless constrained by ideology. The deepest thinker will not be able to completely transcend the limitations of his or her own time and place. Only the artist, the visionary has the power to soar above such constraints to see his own world in perspective. In this sense the "Zen mind" is the poet's mind, the turn from what everyone already "knows" to be true to what actually stands before one -- yet cannot be grasped with the "ordinary mind."
What's especially remarkable for me is the fact that the extraordinary nature of our present crisis turns some of the most "visionary" language I know of into something far more practical than anyone could possibly have imagined -- reminding me that Zen itself, far from being mystical (or even religious, in the sense of professing a belief system), is an eminently practical, down to earth, discipline, whose goal is the most simple and direct experience of reality, in all its richness, with all its contradictions. A reality that, for various reasons, we are often unable to accept.
William Blake's insight, in his great poem, London, is especially clear:
In every cry of every Man,
In every Infant's cry of fear,
In every voice, in every ban,
The mind-forg'd manacles I hear.
In every Infant's cry of fear,
In every voice, in every ban,
The mind-forg'd manacles I hear.
I recently found an excellent online essay on the political implications of this poem, William Blake's London, by Simon Korner. Korner writes,
These sixteen lines do far more than describe the city in which William Blake lived for most of his life. The poem is a devastating and concise political analysis, delivered with passionate anger, revealing the complex connections between patterns of ownership and the ruling ideology, the way all human relations are inescapably bound together within a single destructive society.If Blake is a visionary, which he certainly is, this does not make him any less of a realist. Woodie Guthrie too was both a visionary and a political agitator, as was Walt Whitman. What the "seer" sees is nothing mystical, but simply what is before us that we cannot see. Not due to any optical deficiency, but because of the "mind-forged manacles" gripping every aspect of our being.
Woody Guthrie's great song, This Land is Your Land, might, on the surface, seem like a rather innocuous patriotic statement, fully consistent with the ideals of democracy. In fact some have suggested it as a national anthem. But if we think more about it, we realize that the current state of our democracy is not consistent with the ideal expressed in the text. This land is neither your land, nor my land, but the landowner's land, and if you have any doubts in that regard, just take a look at that sign over there, which says: Private Property. This is the key stanza in Guthrie's song, but also the one usually omitted in almost all the standard textual sources and recordings. As I see it, the entire song is an expression of a very deep illumination regarding the fundamental nature of true democracy, i.e. life itself as a manifestation of freedom and equality. Here Guthrie takes the leap over the precipice, smashes through the invisible barrier, and in the simplest possible language vanquishes the impenetrable aporia posed by the phrase: PRIVATE PROPERTY. Don't be fooled by the "great high wall" in that verse. Because it's not the wall, but what it represents, that constitutes the "gateless gate" -- i.e., the "mind-forged manacles" that keep us from realizing our destiny as humans. The much quoted lines inscribed by Dante on the gateless Gate of Hell have a very similar meaning. Inspired by his mentor, Virgil, Dante takes courage and the two poets pass through the gate anyhow. Why? Because "on the other side, it didn't say nothing." What makes the gateless gate impenetrable is not the gate itself, which doesn't exist, but the warning inscribed deep in the soul that prevents us from recognizing the true nature of what lies before us.
So what is it that lies before us? What is the nature of the Hell we must endure as we pass into forbidden territory?
(to be continued . . . )

Eric Braeden has played the debonair billionaire Victor Newman on The Young and the Restless for nearly three decades. Now he also has taken on the role of executive producer and star of the feature film The Man Who Came Back, which was released on DVD this past Tuesday.
In the movie, Eric plays Reese Paxton, a Civil War hero who returns to the South after the war, only to discover that grave injustices are still happening toward the recently released slaves. His compassion for the ex-slaves leads to devastation in his family life.
Eric tells me: "When I first read the story, I liked it. What I liked was the revenge part of it. That is what attracted me to the story in the first place, but I wanted to give it some historical context. I wanted to deal with the race relations of that period and the relationship between plantation owners and those who worked for them. Then we found out about a labor strike in the South in 1887, and we went from there."
Eric can personally relate to Reese on many levels. He confesses: "Personally, I have a deep-seated anger for someone who uses his power arbitrarily. When I see injustices committed, I just get angry. I have an innate feeling against bullies. I'll fight them. I want to right those wrongs. And that stems from my childhood: I got into a lot of fights as a kid. My father died early on, so my upbringing was rough in that way. And we had teachers who came back from the Second World War, and they had dark eyes.
"So, you know, Reese was wizened by his experiences in the war. He had seen too much killing. He worked behind the scenes as an assassin, and he had seen too much of it. There are two ways to come out of an experience like that: You become worse, or you become better."
Working on such a powerful story was bound to grab the attention of first-rate actors, and Eric considers himself lucky for the company he got to keep on this film. "It attracted a lot of good actors who were wonderful. They did me an enormous favor by working with me, from George Kennedy to Billy Zane, Armand Assante, Sean Young, Carol Alt and James Patrick Stuart. I've never enjoyed anything as much as I enjoyed doing this film."
As executive producer, Eric had the final say in casting, music, editing — everything. "And I would do this again only under those circumstances," Eric explains. "I've been in the business too long, and one knows too much about it. And I don't want to be told by the people anymore, you know?
"But I love the whole process, and the people were so kind and so generous, the people I worked with down in Texas. I was impressed by the hospitality there. It was a labor of love, really. The director worked his ass off. A lot of passion went into this film. I've enormous respect for filmmakers. The whole post-production part was just as tough, from editing to sound design, music — just everything."
So, when you rent or buy this movie, Eric has only one request: "I just want you to be entertained. Be entertained and maybe have some thoughts afterward. I want whoever sees this to be emotionally involved and moved. If they learn something, fine, but I want them to be moved."

The words cannot describe the feeling that this photo book of Dior Couture is spreading.
Apart from all its benefits, it encompasses designs from Christian Dior himself, but also from Yves Saint Laurent and John Galliano too!
And i will tell you one more thing... that, obviously, you can easily understand from the quality and the atmosphere of these pictures.
All the photos are taken by the one-and-only Patrick Demarchelier, and this can be enough for a simple album to be tranformed to a tremendous and stunning photo essay.
I won't believe you if you say that you have a different opinion!

Mwahaha are an Alternative, Prog-Rock, Indie Rock band currently residing in Oakland, California.
They are a clean, fresh and ready to go band. As a band they have been creating music together for about 10 years, perfecting their art.
So Glastonbury festival is over and everyone's talking about who was the best and who they've seen. Some love the festival, some think it's too mainstream and it's not what it used to be. Let me stop you there for a minute.
OK they shove on some huge acts, 2013 seen the 'Rolling Stones' but the majority of acts are just breaking the into the music scene. In my opinion the Mwahaha would fit in nicely here.
Think of David Bowie 'Space Oddity' Depeche Mode and 'Polyphonic Spree' and you get the idea.
June 2013 sees the release of Mwahaha self titled debut album on US label Plug Research Records.
Featuring a track with Merrill Garbus of 'Tune-Yards'.
This year the Mwahaha are supporting 'Sigur Ros' (well known for his tracks 'Hoppipolla' and 'Glosoli') now that's something not many can say they're doing.
The album 'Mwahaha' is far from mainstream. I'd like to say it has elements of early 'Depeche Mode' with power dropping Moog/Korg or similar Synth sounds mixing it up throughout, it's very pleasing to the ears.
Upon listening to the surreal sound of their stunning track 'Swimmer' I'm getting them 'Polyphonic Spree' vibes. A very well produced sound and luscious melodies complete with guitar rifts that creates a large sound stage.
'Rainbow Diamond' 4.45 long. It's quite a long track, but has a nice progressive build up and down, with perfectly blended harmonies and drums that get you tapping the tables. Once it gathers a pace, you can't help but move your bones. Extremely enjoyable.
'Rainbow Diamond' got me thinking of Summer nights on the beach with a few mates having a few cold beers. The album has such a mixed up sound that maybe some are not accustom with, and don't quite know where to start with it. None-the-less it's a totally enjoyable album.
The 'Mwahaha' is an experimental, oscillating, synth happy, psychedelic, harmonious, feel good album. Providing nothing but hours of total pleasure!
'Lime Tree' is my personal favorite with mesmerizing baselines, simple keys, haunting vocals of 'Ross Peacock' mixed up with that synth they so love.
"I have nothing bad to say about this album 'Mwahaha' and give it a 8/10 for what I'd call an album of pure Hedonism 'a pleasure to my senses' quality production and sounds, that reminded me what real music really is, genius"! dwfMedia.
Recorded by Eli Crews who is known for his work with Deerhoof, tUnE-yArDs, WHY? and Ex-Ray's. The album was mixed at 'New and Improved Studios' in Oakland, CA.
The 'Mwahaha :
Ross Peacock, vocals, synths, keys and drum programming; Nathan Tilton on bass and keys. Cyrus Tilton on plays guitar, keys and drum programming. James Murphy on drums.

Hi, just installed the july security update on my TA-1054 in Austria and i am facing the same problems as after the may security update:
I am not sure whether I had mobile data to begin with, because I set up my phone with WiFi and immediately ran the software updates. I too do not have any connection to my mobile data service provider, Maxis, here in Malaysia with a TA-1054 purchased in Malaysia. The build number shows 00CN_2_24B_SP02 which I fear to mean I was sold a model that was meant for the market in China instead.
What's your build number?
I ended up returning it because I just recently bought it and there was still time to do so. Getting an X6 instead because the shop showed me that it worked. But really really giving HMD's Nokia a last chance here to prove themselves.
After the July update on a Nokia 6.1, TA-1045, USA version the data connection is continuously turning on and off at a rate of something around a second or so. The software that I'm using will show it CONNECTED and disconnected very rapidly and I can get very little data speed at all. 3 Mbps down and 0.2 Mbps up. This needs to be fixed rapidly like now. Using a MVNO of T-Mobile and have tested the data connection with my Nexus 5 and data is fine, stays CONNECTED.
Hello user1527011066020, I have a same problem with u with TA-1054 and I live in Vietnam and until now, after a update in June I still can't use mobile network, does your phone get a fixed for this?
Whoever confirmed that mobile data is working in US version of Nokia 6.1, can you please confirm if T-mobile works on it and that too with 4G speed.
Correct, T-Mobile focuses on saying you are covered if you get a signal, doesn't matter if it works or not. And then tries to use WIFI calling to fill in the blanks. Where at&t builds a network that covers everyone and then might use WIFI calling if needed. T-Mobile can't get 4G LTE which is not 4G to work so now they are moving on to 5G which will be a mess if it's like 4G has been.

I shifted back offering the dating success - for women fully for free - So, that shift did not change yet the response.
The main change in this month is the number of membership sales.
In a way, the coaching signups was replaced by membership sales.
the two products or directions (membership and coaching) are two possible upgrade or upsales lines.
The other main shift that happened in the last month is the access to stay fit, life skills, etc. channels on the site for members only.
It is in that area that there could be some contradiction or conflicting energy.
E-books for sale makes sense to the prospect.
A bunch of targeted articles doe not make sense to the prospect because this is a type of product which is usually for free.
So, here are a few possible strategies:
- Turn the articles content into e-books for every life area I restrict to members only?
- Offer the articles again for free?
Right now, the membership is not yet fully coherent!
There are many gaps and areas that can be improved + Content to be created!
So, this is the area where a whole lot of power and energy can be put!
So, the goal would be to quadrupple the number of membership signups by the end of the next month!
The product needs to be coherent and value needs to be added to it!

The Scottish Government has launched the Second Consultation on a New Tenancy for the Private Sector. This builds on our first consultation, taking account of the responses to it and setting out more-developed proposals. The previous consultation had 2500 responses. They are seeking responses to this until midnight on 10 May 2015, which should be sent to email@example.com
At Rentolease our director David Toner will be submitting our views on this and we would urge all landlords and tenants to take part. The proposal has now been adapted to included further notice to quit for abandonment but has failed to keep the no fault ground currently used to end tenancies. If you have any thoughts or wish to discuss this please contact email@example.com
To help promote Hansel Mud Run Mayhem due on the 2nd May ,this year's charity partner, Rentolease opened the office for fundraising and even managed to persuade David to take the mud bucket challenge. To register for this event please contact Hansel

|Contact this artist
Over many years Anne has experimented with a variety of media including gold and silver jewellery and ceramics.
In recent years she has been attracted to soft pastels which are traditionally valued for their fluidity and the ability to merge colour. However, she has adopted a more controlled and structured style working in this medium to the extent that her drawings are often mistaken for paintings. Her work varies between semi-realism and abstract, but she continues to experiment with style and subject matter.
Having held many solo and joint exhibitions and contributed to publications - Anne has successfully completed commissions across a broad spectrum.
Anne recently received a "Highly Commended" Certificate at the prestigious Camberwell Art Show 2015 for her soft pastel drawing, 'Red Breasts'.
Please feel free to contact Anne should you have any enquiries by phone 0428 947 808 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com

Fruity smooth and delicious. We love to try different smoothies and this has been a real #win in our house. This berry banana smoothie gets its extra smooth from the creamer. We used french vanilla, but you could use any flavor. Or you could use soy milk if dairy is an issue. We've tried it with vanilla soy, but I bet almond would taste good too. Enjoy this for a quick morning breakfast.
|Berry Banana French Vanilla Smoothie
- 1 c. mixed berries. we used blueberries and raspberries
- 1 sm banana (or 1/2 large banana)
- 1/2 c. fat free french vanilla liquid creamer
- splash of apple or berry juice if needed (add more if berries are frozen)
- 1 c. ice
- Add creamer and juice first.
- Then add remaining ingredients
- Mix until smooth.
