The End of the Word as We Know It - Is Available Now.

2011-05-31T21:25:00.000-03:00

Remember the unburied dead (and the as yet unborn) this Memorial Day: The End of the Word As We Know It is now available to order from Amazon.

This is a cycle of poetry narrated by and studying Thorn, a storm giant turned little horn, eventually becoming a letter subsumed into language and forgotten. It is a response to the unburied dead whose need for vengeance re-ignites ancient spirit winds. And it is at the end a cry for meaning in a vortex of signifier without sign, spun out and half-mad in the twister’s line-of-sight.

Codex Sacer Juratus/Eliasch Sacratus/Consecratus Eliasche

2011-01-12T14:43:00.001-04:00

Its date of composition is uncertain, but it is mentioned asLiber Consecratus Eliasche in the 13th century, apparently asserting a high medieval date. Johannes Hartlieb (1456) mentions it as one of the books used in onieromancy. It has many instructions on how to conjure and command Rats of Eliaschs, to work other magical operations, and knowledge of what lies in Agartha among other highly sought information.

“See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda." — George W. Bush

Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels stated in a different context, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. … (the)truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

You could put your feet up. I mean, I'm not sure anyone ever gets too comfortable in the Oval Office, other than the president, but this looks like an effort to put people at ease.'"

In chatting with organizations across the public and private sector I am constantly encountering confusion. People know the problems they are encountering. These are real, these are personal, and people struggle with them daily. However:
* Organizations often do not understand that solutions exist for these problems. * Organizations often have the wrong information about the solutions that exist."

Progress Ohio | Dave Harding's Blog:

"On the coattails of the Wall Street Reform bill, Kilroy’s Lobbying Disclosure Enhancement Act (H.R. 5751) would establish a Task Force to bolster enforcement of rules for federal lobbyists and special interest groups. The bill passed the House unanimously by voice vote today and is on its way to the Senate. “When Americans on Main Street try to cheat or break the law, there are repercussions; but for years, there was no way to hold lobbyists accountable for games they play with their disclosures,” said Kilroy. “The Lobbying Disclosure Enhancement Act establishes a task force that will go after lobbyists who engage in shoddy reporting practices and hide behind ignorance of the law.” The Lobbying Disclosure Enhancement Act directs the Attorney General to establish a task force with the ability to investigate and prosecute cases referred to the U.S. Attorney’s office for D.C. under the existing Lobbying Disclosure Act."

there both are and are not
and it is obvious

and there are both those and they aren't

they don't can't won't
betwixt and between, bell, book and candle gleam
a shadowy presence, felt but deceived - left

and in leaving, ceases to be: a figure
obvious, in its passing - a dream
left glimpsed by in between eyes, faces surprised

to learn better. We are thoughts, concretized - brought
from the lies, to a space where the world can be solid

and while though squalid, the worlds
we've demolished in two hours drinking
critiqueing and calling - paint faces on beings,
seme intro to seeking, grant tutor and pupil both byways to chunnel
deeper the funnel, past square compass and circle, and media
must be moving
to capture

There in the wild, the folklore is mild,
no obvious symbols for unfettered narrative to adhere
but queer, still, outlier to deny, it is cadence in pace with one's steps..

demand papers at border, defend these the warriors
and boot knife to eyelid we stand - faceless the machinations caste
racial divisions deeper thoughtless the reasons our flag would demand

still roll back the shelter, and fill up the cupboard, and plot
each new gravesite with combat unmanned - drone skyline with lasers
burn pilots from sensors, klaxons and sirens to man battle stations
seven rays and council of nine bring round in full time the true layered in fiction
outside of the mind

this is not a plot of inception
waylaid all things are thought once and will be again
tragic the narrative where the created meets the creator and does nothing
tragic still the dance of the created to the narrator's demands

the curator presented with a fragment
uncovers the whole - and exposure, though thought naught but rot,
leaves fall, and there a pearl forgot

a magnet - called, called hard, and sought
most precious - things designed to last
to gracefully degrade
leave texture

let's amuse ourselfs momentarily and examine the patterns that arise through contant contact. perpetual engagement within the digital sphere, console, and control, enmeshed in a spin. Push/pull - it's a binary state that - like Wolfram notes - creates infinitely complex arrangements. Wolfram seems an apologist for the computer, the final last sad acquiesence to the Signal. Transformational, and at times unifying, this coded signal; tied to meaning through patterns more occult in nature. Meaning is an associational sign that is moved in and out of conjunction with its referrent, and will outlast its indicies. Now, we are attempting to purify this process into semantic engines, and fuel them with motivational capital. Roll on, grim engine, we seem to be meaning. latent semantic indexing and the real time web our presence is a shadow, and merely ripples the static pool we leave traces, in layers, and layers behind. wes unruh - latent semantic indexing and the real time web

Becoming What You Do:

"Things that place one under stress have survival significance to older physiological systems, which is why experiences that are paired with stress are imprinted more strongly into the preconscious mind. As a result, bonds formed in the face of stress are more intense. As long as our responses to stress are fixed and predictable anyone aware of this can direct us like puppets. Yet the goal with stress isn't to eliminate it, but rather to design more appropriate responses to stressful situations; stress, at its most basic form, is readily available energy caused by the situation itself. It is important to have access to useful and necessary immediate reactions, instead of reactions that cripple or completely shut down one's actions." - The Art of Memetics

"The web presents us with the largest accumulation of knowledge and information within recorded history. The mass and complexity of this information makes it very difficult to accurately model what is happening in a way that allows us to anticipate the results of publishing new content. Early attempts at managing this complexity rely on “authority” measures such as page rank to filter out information leaving a more reasonably sized subset to analyze. While efficient and useful for displaying relevant results to users this authority measure does nothing to help us understand features of a publication’s content that enhance its effectiveness in capturing the attention of web users. We are still faced with a large degree of uncertainty when trying to define what content will be successful."

Thai Government Alleged Plan To Kill Thaksin

Thailand Forum:

"'The term 'get rid of' is a codeword for killing,' he said, claiming such a codeword is commonly understood by MFA officials. At yesterday's press conference, Jatuporn focused on the five-page annex to the main document which he touched on last week. The annex outlined responses of varying intensity to the prime minister of Cambodia, he said. The 18 measures included a ban on Thai citizens visiting Cambodian casinos, cancellation of the extradition treaty, reinforcement of troops along the borders, and cancellation of the memorandum of understanding (MOU) on maritime boundaries. He said the MFA analysis shed light on the dilemma of memorandums of understanding previously signed with Cambodia."

"“It is quite difficult to actually overload the brain because it can contain a lot more information than was previously thought,” said Amanda Ellison, a senior lecturer at Durham University’s neuroscience research unit. “There is no one memory centre.

"Historically the aim of copyright laws is to organize innovation and progress through a trade-off: instead of having secret recipes or secret knowledge you don't share and which may last for centuries and block progress, you're making public your design and you receive a limited in time monopoly over this design. Once this time is over everybody including your competitors can freely use your design and even improve it. Imitation is possible. This system works well and indeed hasten innovation while providing inventors a rather short period of time to benefit from their inventions."

New Scientist:

"What is more, in rats this cell growth appears to be linked with reducing anxiety and depression. The results suggest that marijuana, or its derivatives, could actually be good for the brain. In mammals, new nerve cells are constantly being produced in a part of the brain called the hippocampus, which is associated with learning, memory, anxiety and depression.

The Lie Called Thanksgiving, and Squanto's True Heroism

2009-11-28T17:57:00.000-04:00

The Religion Virus:

"Tisquantum, who we know as 'Squanto,' was an amazing man. American schoolchildren are taught that he was a simple Indian who befriended the Pilgrims, but in fact he was nothing of the sort. Tisquantum was captured and enslaved, and taken to Europe, where he learned English and European ways. After his first enslavement and return to America, he was captured and enslaved again, to be sold in Spain. He was rescued by some Spanish friars who took control of the slaves and tried to convert them to Christianity. After four years and at least one aborted journey, Tisquantum made his way back to America, only to discover that his entire family and village, everyone he knew, had been killed by a plague, probably smallpox."

» Podcast 156 – “Treating Childhood Schizophrenia with Psychedelics”

2009-11-28T17:44:00.000-04:00

Notes from the Psychedelic Salon:

"I was at UCLA during the LSD years and actually broke thru suicidal depression steming from young childhood abuse using high dose LSD. My small world became 10 trillion times bigger and my problems became small in comparison with all the love in this ten-trillion faceted universe. Thank you Lorenzo, some of the information that comes thru you continually changes my life. And as Leary said, 'you're only as old as the last time you changed your mind'. Gary's last sentence about 'give it to everybody' was what I tried to do back in the day, and still think it is what should be done now. I can easily mourn the loss of LSD as a tool to help others, and that our society so sucessfully has blocked the transformative use of this good, which seems like the evil empire strangling the good, and it is. However, as psychedelics can show the opposites occuring simultaneously and more than that, when I've broken thru by letting go to the highest states of bliss, the highest state of knowledge and being, I see that it all is perfect just as it is right now. The unfolding has its secrets."

Cymatics Om

2009-11-22T17:02:00.000-04:00

Dr. Jenny Cymatics:
"Amongst his more amazing findings was the discovery that when AUM is sounded the shape produced is that of the ancient symbol for AUM (the Sri Yantra). This suggests that the ancients knew something! Perhaps when sounding in meditation, the vibration created the form in their minds. Hebrew, Sanskrit, Egyptian and Tibetan are generally considered to be sacred languages, that have the power of shaping reality. This suggests that by sounding sacred texts, by singing sacred vowels, our cells resonate into a more coherent shape, in which our energies are synchronised with those of God / Universe / Source."

The Stygian Port: The Divine Language:

"Barbara Hero has demonstrated a similar effect of harmonics using a laser and scanner system. Barbara placed a mirror under a speaker system which vibrated the mirror when two different frequencies were created. She then projected a laser at the mirror and the laser was reflected on to a screen, revealing the images created by the sounds. Barbara found that those intervals which were created by the harmonic series created shapes which were geometrically perfect. These shapes, such as a circle, remained stationary as long as the intervals were sounding. Intervals which were not harmonically related created shapes that were not geometrically perfect and their shapes decayed."

The worst is yet to come: Unemployed Americans should hunker down for more job losses

2009-11-18T09:29:00.000-04:00

nydailynews.com/opinions:

"The last recession ended in November 2001, but job losses continued for more than a year and half until June of 2003; ditto for the 1990-91 recession. So we can expect that job losses will continue until the end of 2010 at the earliest. In other words, if you are unemployed and looking for work and just waiting for the economy to turn the corner, you had better hunker down. All the economic numbers suggest this will take a while. The jobs just are not coming back. There's really just one hope for our leaders to turn things around: a bold prescription that increases the fiscal stimulus with another round of labor-intensive, shovel-ready infrastructure projects, helps fiscally strapped state and local governments and provides a temporary tax credit to the private sector to hire more workers."

How to use the LinkedIn-Twitter connection properly

2009-11-17T01:10:00.000-04:00

Search Engine Optimizician:

"What’s happened with the Twitter and Linkedin connection is that most people have simply connected Twitter to Linkedin without using the #in tag. The result is that a lot of non-professional tweets and responses to people in twitter are showing up on Linkedin, but the material isn’t really relevant to Linkedin as a social networking site. This diminishes the usefulness of Linkedin, in terms of status updates, because many of the status updates aren’t relevant to the purpose for using Linkedin."

"So far, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have received five reports of GBS in people who received the H1N1 vaccine since Oct. 6, not including Jordan’s case, said Dr. Claudia J. Vellozzi, deputy director for immunization safety. Out of about 40 million doses of H1N1 vaccine available to date, that’s a far lower rate of GBS than the 1 case that develops in every 1 million people who receive the regular flu vaccine. “It’s much less than we’d expect,” she said, adding that many cases go unreported.

Justifying the book to Gemany’s Der Spiegel magazine, he said: “I did not want to go along with it any more, but I could not stay silent.” Mr Stenebo claims that Ikea, which employs 135,000 staff in 44 countries, is run with an iron fist by founder Ingvar Kamprad and his two sons Mathias and Peter, who were promoted to top management five years ago. He describes Ikea as “one of the most secretive companies in the world”"

Deputies involved in a saturation patrol this morning at the downtown 7th and Metro Center subway station encountered the septuagenarian suspect, later identified as 74-year-old John Scott of Los Angeles, as he was putting slap tags in one of the main stairwells at the transit hub."

"Jerome Corsi, of Swift Boat infamy, has written a piece connecting Nidal Malik Hasan to Obama on WorldNetDaily (”the leading source of disinformation that the president wasn’t born an American.”) Corsi points to a Homeland Security Policy Institute at George Washington University paper titled “Thinking Anew – Security Priorities for the Next Administration: Proceedings Report of the HSPI Presidential Transition Task Force” which lists Hasan as “Task Force Event Participant.” What does that mean? It means Hasan, as Spencer Ackerman writes: “Hasan attended a meeting of a private organization that gave the transition some unsolicited advice.”"

"‘OSO’ – or ‘Online Social Optimization’ – which encompasses three interrelated fields, online reputation management or ORM, search engine optimization or SEO, and social media optimization or SMO. The principle is simple – each of these three fields overlaps the next, and by approaching each situation through a holistic, top-down view rather than the more narrow adherence to one methodology over another, a more successful organic structure can be built for longer-lasting results and greater communicative reach throughout society. Using lifestream technologies online is one of the trends I predicted early on, and the development of these mashups of social networks, social media, and status update trackers has exploded over the last few months."

Why I give marijuana to my autistic child.

2009-11-04T07:16:00.000-04:00

doublex.com

"A friend whose child was once diagnosed with autism, but no longer (he attends school at his grade level and had three developmental assessments showing he no longer merits the diagnosis), wanted to embark on a kind of karmic mission to help other children. After extensive research, she landed on cannabis the way I had. “It has dramatic implications for the autism community,” she says, and it’s true. We have pictures of J. from a year ago when he would actually claw at his own face. None of the experts had a clue what to do. That little child with the horrifically bleeding and scabbed face looks to us now like a visitor from another world. The J. we know now doesn’t look stoned. He just looks like a happy little boy. And cannabis still can surprise us. We worried that “the munchies” would severely aggravate J.’s problems with overeating in response to his stomach pangs. Instead, the marijuana seems to have modulated these symptoms. Perhaps the pain signals from his stomach were coming through as hunger. J. still can get overexcited if he likes a food too much, so sometimes when he’s eating my husband and I leave the room to minimize distractions."

Breckenridge Votes Overwhelmingly To Legalize Marijuana

"Early returns Tuesday night showed the proposal winning with 72 percent of the vote. The measure would allow adults over 21 to have up to 1 ounce of marijuana. The measure is largely symbolic because pot possession remains a state crime for people without medical clearance. But supporters said they wanted to send a message to local law enforcement to stop busting small-time pot smokers."

The Tipping Point and your Contact Center

2009-11-03T15:44:00.000-04:00

Buzz Marketing for Technology:

"In his book, Gladwell describes 'agents of change' like the Connectors who are the people who 'link us up with the world”. He characterizes these individuals as having social networks of over one hundred people. And the Mavens who are 'information specialists', or 'people we rely upon to connect us with new information.' They accumulate knowledge, especially about the marketplace, and know how to share it with others. So in effect the Contact Center Manager acts as the Social Agent of Change, more specifically in the role as the “Connector” linking up the worlds social requests to the best qualified Agent who then plays the role of the “Maven” or information specialist."
