A Strigolugius Súcubos: Un Vampiro Tierno...
Entrar es fácil... salir es difícil...
Hay arraigo en el desarraigo,
Los opuestos se conjugan
Y en la sangre que subnada
Los avernos en tinieblas,
Lentamente se renacen
Los espíritus contravencionales.
Hay amor en el desamor,
Un desatino en la indiferencia.
El bello cántico que un juglar
Le prodiga a su verdugo
Con la noche por testigo
Y la muerte sin final.
Hay olvido en el recuerdo,
Hay pasión en un deshielo;
Vibraciones encontradas,
Expansión de un universo
Que, en su pulso va latiendo
Las criptas del cementerio.
Y en los seres de la noche
Se despiertan desasosiegos,
Reviven sangres disecadas,
Levantan cadáveres hambrientos.
En un instante el letargo
Abre sus ojos al cielo.
...
Sentidos agudizados
En penumbras incentivantes
De deseos pernoctados
En sonámbulos rituales
Plenos de magias y hechizos
De las noches hibernantes.
Voy hacia ti poseída
Por tus ojos que no veo.
No me hace falta verte,
Igual puedo sentirte
Latiendo en mi arterias,
Inundando mis venas
Con las salvajes corrientes
De tus ríos sanguíneos
Que recorren mi piel.
Allá en el trasfondo,
Donde se une el claroscuro,
Entre metálicas cadencias
Se vislumbra tu figura
Agazapada en las sombras,
Sin prisa aguardándome.
Eres el peligroso filo
Con el que quiero cortarme
Y disfrutar haciéndolo.
Eres el prisma gigante
Que irisa mi sangre cruda
y eriza mi piel desnuda.
Eres ese único espejo
Que refleja mi lado oscuro
Y me gusta contemplar.
Tú hermosa criatura
Con tus nostálgicos versos
Vuelves mi vida a la vida,
Me inspiras en mi agonía,
Haciéndome renacer.
En sonámbulos rituales
Plenos de magias y hechizos
De las noches hibernantes.
Voy hacia ti poseída
Por tus ojos que no veo.
No me hace falta verte,
Igual puedo sentirte
Latiendo en mi arterias,
Inundando mis venas
Con las salvajes corrientes
De tus ríos sanguíneos
Que recorren mi piel.
Allá en el trasfondo,
Donde se une el claroscuro,
Entre metálicas cadencias
Se vislumbra tu figura
Agazapada en las sombras,
Sin prisa aguardándome.

Entrar es fácil... salir es difícil...
A Strigolugius Súcubos,
Tu ~ ^~succubus~^~ te desea un espléndido nuevo año y un HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Besos... con colmillos retráctiles.

Ankunft New Zealand
Was für ein Abenteuer....
Die Anreise war schon der Hammer. Der Flug von Hong Kong nach Auckland dauerte 11 Stunden und davon haben wir 5 Stunden lang die heftigsten Turbulenzen gehabt. Claudia hat das locker weggesteckt und auch noch dazu gegessen. Dabei wurden wir die ganze Nacht komplett durchgeschüttelt. Ich war praktisch SchachMatt gesetzt, aber am Leben und ohne die berühmten Tüten zu nutzen. So etwas habe ich in meiner Fliegerei wirklich noch nicht erlebt.
Der Taxifahrer am Airport Auckland war genauso Klasse wir der, der uns zum Hamburger Flughafen gebracht hat. Gesetzte..... pffff.... gilt nicht..
Wir müssen noch entscheiden, ob wir tatsächlich heute Sylvester feiern oder nur einfach total erschöpft ins Bett fallen.
Wir werden sehen.

Stuff: Get on the scene, like a sex machine.
By way of the Mind Hacks blog, New Scientist presents the story of Elektro, "one of the world's first celebrity robots."
From the article:
Elektro was one of the world's first celebrity robots. Built by electrical manufacturer Westinghouse, and with electrical controls that were remarkably advanced for the time, he drew huge crowds at the 1939 New York World's Fair. During the Second World War, the robot was stored in the basement of the Weeks's family home in Ohio, where he became 8-year-old Jack's playmate. After the war, Elektro went back on the road, touring the US to adoring crowds, but his star soon began to wane. Shortly after 1960 and the release of Sex Kittens - in which Elektro starred alongside blonde bombshell Mamie Van Doren and a chimp called Voltaire - the robot's career hit a low. Not long after that, Elektro disappeared entirely.
A CAREER LOW?!?!? I think not.
Here's the trailer for Elektro's one and only feature film: Sex Kitten's Go to College. The following clip is not safe for workplaces from the late 1950s.

初３０⑤
○水槽・・・Ｗ３０×Ｄ２０×Ｈ２３
・テトラのグラスアクアリウムＧＢ－３０
○照明・・・１３Ｗ電球型蛍光灯
・２００８／１２／２８（日）に買ったばかりのアクシーファイン１３Ｗ
○濾過・・・パワーキャニスターミニ
○ＣＯ２・・・無
○底床・・・無
・小鉢に南国砂を入れてタヌキモを植えてある。
○肥料等・・・無
○換水・・・様子を見て随時
○魚等・・・アベニーパファー８匹
○水草・・・小鉢に植えたタヌキモ、水面に浮かべたリシア
○備考
・爆発的に殖えて収集がつかなくなった６０センチ水槽のタヌキモにランプアイ
がたくさん産卵していることを発見、タヌキモを短く切って植え直す時に大量
に余る分を別水槽に移したら生まれる稚魚を全部確保できるのでは？と考えて
２００８／１１／１９（水）にこの水槽を新たにセットした。
・その後、約１ヵ月弱の間に１００匹を越える稚魚を確保することができたので、
すべて３０③に移動して育成している。途中で落ちた分を差し引いても３０③
には６０匹以上の稚魚が居るはず。
・さらにその後、６０センチ水槽で大量に殖えたミナミヌマエビ達がタヌキモに
付着しているランプアイの卵を食べることをいきなり覚えてしまい、常に大量
のミナミがタヌキモにたかって卵を食べている状態になったので、タヌキモを
こちらに移動しても稚魚がぜんぜん採れなくなった。
・しばらくは空のまま数匹のミナミヌマエビとタヌキモを入れて水槽を稼動して
いたが、２００８／１２／２４（木）に６０センチ水槽のブラックモーリーが
産仔して稚魚がふらふらと泳いでいたので、他の魚に食べられてしまうことを
避けるためこちらに移動。翌日に確保した分も含めると全部で１７匹いた。
その段階で「ブラックモーリー稚魚水槽」と化してしまった。
・さらにさらにその後、３０②でアベニーパファーに与える冷凍赤虫による水の
汚れを解決できなかったため、こちらのライヤテールブラックモーリー稚魚と
あちらのアベニーパファーをを２００８／１２／２８（日）に入れ替えたので
現在はアベニー水槽になっている。光量２４Ｗ＆肥料添加の３０②に比べて、
光量１３Ｗ＆肥料無添加のこちらの水槽のほうが冷凍赤虫による水の富栄養化
の影響が少ないだろうと考えてのこと。
初３０④
○水槽・・・Ｗ３０×Ｄ２０×Ｈ２３
・テトラのグラスアクアリウムＧＢ－３０
・２０００／４／２９（土）に購入、５／４（木）に使用開始。
○照明・・・パルックＣＯＯＬ１８Ｗ×２の右半分＋電球型蛍光灯２２Ｗ
・電球型蛍光灯２２Ｗは「白熱電球１００Ｗ相当」という売り文句で、３０③の
３２Ｗと同じ使い方だが、補助照明としての光量はこちらのほうが適している
ようだ。白熱電球１５０Ｗ相当の３２Ｗ電球型蛍光灯はやや明る過ぎる。
○濾過・・・外掛け式（テトラ・ＯＴ－３０）
・水槽と同じ日に購入、使用開始。
○ＣＯ２・・・マイクロストーンで１粒／秒
○底床・・・新田砂
○肥料等・・・グリーングライティＳＴＥＰ２を毎日１ｃｃ、メネデールを毎日
０.５ｃｃ、木酢液を毎日２ｃｃ○換水・・・週に１回、５リットル
○魚等・・・ランプアイ稚魚５匹、ミナミヌマエビ１０匹前後
・こちらを２番目の稚魚確保水槽として空けた直後に６０センチ水槽のミナミヌ
マエビがタヌキモに付着したランプアイの卵を食べることを覚えたため、その
後は稚魚や卵がほとんど採れなくなった。
○水草・・・３０③同様、ガラス器ごとに以下の通り。
①レッドカボンバ＋ガラス器（大）＋アクアソイルパウダー＋イニシャルスティ
ック／元肥
・レッドカボンバは底床がソイルでないと長期に渡って綺麗に育成できないの
で、他の水槽からはすべて除去してここにだけ残してある。
②グロッソスティグマ＋ガラス器（大）＋アクアソイルパウダー＋イニシャルス
ティック／元肥
③ヒメミソハギ＋ガラス器（大）＋アクアソイル＋イニシャルスティック／元肥
④リスノシッポ＋ガラス器（小）＋クアソイルパウダー＋イニシャルスティック
／元肥
⑤オーストラリアンドワーフハイドロコタイル
・これだけは根元が鉛巻きのまま底床に直に置いてある。
⑥アルアナ・サンセット＋ガラス器（小）＋岩石破砕系砂利＋イニシャルスティ
ック／元肥
⑦ロタラ・ナンセアン／正体不明の水草＋ガラス器（小）＋アクアソイル＋イニ
シャルスティック／元肥
・ロタラ・ナンセアンと共に侘び草から１本だけ採取した水草は名前がわから
ない。
○備考
・３０③と同様に、ガラス器ごとにいろいろな水草を育てて遊ぶ水槽。
初３０②
○水槽・・・Ｗ３１×Ｄ１９×Ｈ２３
・３０①と同時に買った同じ水槽
○照明・・・８Ｗ×３＝２４Ｗ
・エーハイム３灯式蛍光灯使用
○濾過・・・外掛け式（ニッソー・アクアパル）
・３０①のアクアパルと同時に買った同じもの。
○底床・・・某ショップオリジナルのガーネットサンド
○肥料等・・・グリーンブライティＳＴＥＰ２を毎日０.５ｃｃ、木酢液を毎日
２ｃｃ
○換水・・・週に１回、５リットル
○魚等・・・ライヤテールブラックモーリーの稚魚１４匹
・２００８／１２／２４（水）に６０センチ水槽で生まれた。
○水草・・・侘び草エキノＭＩＸ、およびそこから殖えたハイグロフィラ・ポリス
ペルマ、アマゾンチドメグサ
○備考
・最近までアベニーパファー８匹を入れていたが、餌で与える冷凍赤虫のせいで
水が汚れてしまい、水草を育てる水槽としてはほぼ崩壊してしまった。
・具体的には、マヤカやロタラ・ヴェルティキラリスを植えると上部は生長する
のに下部がどんどん茶色く汚れていき、侘び草エキノＭＩＸを入れたらエキノ
の葉にコケが付着してハイグロとアマゾンチドメグサも下葉が茶色くなって、
侘び草から生えていたその他の水草はすべて消滅してしまった。
・底床が大磯（南国砂）だったので汚れが詰まりやすいのも影響していると考え、
２００８／１１／８（土）に某ショップオリジナルのガーネットサンドに変更
して水草も新しい侘び草に入れ替えるという大リセットを行なったが、１ヵ月
ほどで侘び草も悲惨な状態になったので、ここでアベニーを飼う（冷凍赤虫を
与える）ことはほとんどあきらめた。
・２００８／１２／２８（日）にアベニーをブラックモーリー稚魚１４匹に入れ
替えたのでその後は改善に向かっているはずだが、水槽内はまだ見苦しい。
初３０③
○水槽・・・Ｗ３０×Ｄ２０×Ｈ２３
・テトラのグラスアクアリウムＧＢ－３０
・２０００／５／２０（土）に購入、使用開始。
○照明・・・パルックＣＯＯＬ１８Ｗ×２の左半分＋電球型蛍光灯３２Ｗ
・電球型蛍光灯３２Ｗは「白熱電球１５０Ｗ相当」という売り文句で実際とても
明るいが、水槽上に乗せている６０センチ用２灯式蛍光灯の隙間を通して斜め
上から当てているので、やや強めの補助照明程度の光を水槽に供給している。
○濾過・・・外掛け式（テトラ・ＯＴ－３０）
・水槽と同じ日に購入、使用開始。
○ＣＯ２・・・ＣＯ２ストーンで１粒／秒
○底床・・・リオネグロサンド
・ＡＤＡの白砂
○肥料等・・・グリーングライティＳＴＥＰ２を毎日１ｃｃ、メネデールを毎日
０.５ｃｃ、木酢液を毎日２ｃｃ
○換水・・・週に１回、５リットル
○魚等・・・ランプアイの稚魚６０～９０匹、ミナミヌマエビ２０匹前後
・ランプアイ稚魚は他の水槽で１００匹以上確保してここに入れたが、何匹生存
しているのか数えることは多過ぎて不可能。
○水草・・・キューブ型の大小２種類のガラス器（実際はキャンドルスタンド）に
以下の通り水草を植えている。肥料添加はガラス器セット時のみ。
①アラグアイアミズマツバ＋ガラス器（小）＋アクアソイルパウダー＋イニシャ
ルスティック／元肥
・『元肥』とは外見がイニシャルスティックに似た園芸用の固形肥料
②Rotala rotondifoliaまたはRotala indica＋アクアソイルパウダー＋イニシャ
ルスティック／元肥
・侘び草から採取したのでrotondifoliaかindicaかは識別できない。
③ロタラ・ヴェルティキラリス＋ガラス器（大）＋アクアソイルパウダー＋イニ
シャルスティック／元肥
④レッドミリオフィラム＋ガラス器（小）＋某ショップオリジナル岩石破砕系砂
利＋イニシャルスティック／元肥
・レッドミリオは侘び草から採取したもの。
⑤アルアナ・サンセット＋ガラス器（大）＋岩石破砕系砂利＋イニシャルスティ
ック／元肥
⑥アルアナ・サンセット＋ガラス器（小）＋アクアグラベル／南国砂／礫の混合
＋イニシャルスティック／元肥
⑦ケヤリソウ＋ガラス器（小）＋アクアソイルパウダー＋イニシャルスティック
／元肥
○備考
・かつては発酵式二酸化炭素添加方式でオランダプラントまで完璧に育てていた
水槽。
・水槽台の下段にあるので見栄えはまったく考えず、ガラス器でいろいろな水草
をいろいろな底床で育てて遊んでいる。
・ランプアイの稚魚を確保する時期には、３０④とローテーションでたくさんの
稚魚を育成する場となる。この場合、生長したランプアイを６０センチ水槽に
移す段階で、ガラス器をすべて取り出せば水槽内に障害物がほとんど無くなる
という大きなメリットがある。
初３０①
○水槽・・・Ｗ３１×Ｄ１９×Ｈ２３
・プラスチックの黒枠あり。
・１２年ほど前に買った。
○照明・・・８Ｗ×３＝２４Ｗ
・エーハイム３灯式蛍光灯使用
・最初からついてる蛍光管３本のうち植物育成管１本は昼光色の管に交換済み。
・それでも水草仕様の３０センチ水槽には暗過ぎる。
○濾過・・・外掛け式（ニッソー・アクアパル）
・１９９７／９／２９（月）には使っていた記録があるが、いつ買っていつから
使っているのかは不明。消耗品部品を交換することもなくずっと円滑稼動して
いる。
○底床・・・某ショップオリジナルの岩石破砕系黒砂利
○ＣＯ２・・・マイクロストーンで１粒／秒
○肥料等・・・グリーンブライティＳＴＥＰ２を毎日０.５ｃｃ、木酢液を毎日２
ｃｃ、セット時に底床の後半分にイニシャルスティック
○換水・・・週に１回、５リットル
○魚等・・・ファイヤーテトラ１９匹、ミナミヌマエビ１０匹前後
○水草・・・ロタラ（rotondifoliaかindica）、ミリオフィラム・マトグロッセン
セ・グリーン、マヤカ、アラグアイアミイズマツバ、アマゾンチドメグサ、オー
ストラリアンドワーフハイドロコタイル
○備考
・いろいろな経緯があるが、現在の岩石破砕系黒砂利とファイヤーテトラの組み
合わせはとても気に入っている。
・光量不足のせいで水草の生長はとても遅い。
初６０センチ水槽
○水槽・・・Ｗ６０×Ｄ３０×Ｈ３６
・２００１／４／１４（土）に買ったＡＤＡ・ウィルドグラス
・この頃は『キューブガーデン』でなく『ウィルドグラス』という商品名で、
当時の『キューブガーデン』はガラスの継ぎ目の無い超高級水槽、現在で
いうところの『キューブガーデンスペリア』を指していた。
○照明・・・１８Ｗパルッククール×４
・グリーングロウ６０４使用
・水槽と同じ日に購入、使用開始。
・かなりガタがきていて、たまに消える管がある。（管の新旧は無関係）
○濾過・・・エーハイム・２２１３
・水槽と同じ日に購入、使用開始
・給水口にスポンジ装着
○底床・・・アクアグラベルＳ＋礫（れき）＋１０年以上使用の南国砂
○ＣＯ２・・・マイクロストーンで３粒／秒
○換水・・・週に１回、１５リットル
○肥料等・・・グリーンブライティＳＴＥＰ２を毎日２ｃｃ、メネデールを毎日
１ｃｃ、自家製カリウム溶液を毎日１ｃｃ、水草ごとにイニシャルブロック※
を随時
※イニシャルブロックとは、イニシャルスティックを一度水に溶かして板チョコ
状に再乾燥させたもの。粒が小さいイニシャルスティックより使い勝手がいい
時が多い。
○魚等・・・アフリカンランプアイ１０数匹、ブルーアイラスボラ５匹、ライアテ
ールブラックモーリー４匹、アカヒレ１匹（養老）、ハセマニア・ナナ（養老）、
ミナミヌマエビ無数
・「養老」とは３年以上生きているもの。
○水草・・・ロタラ・ヴェルティキラリス、パールグラス、ラージパールグラス、
タヌキモ、ボルビティス、リスノシッポ、ウィローモス、グロッソスティグマ
○備考
・２００１／４／１４（土）に一式を購入してからずっと稼動している水槽。
・最初の底床は新田砂だったが、水草の生長がいまいちなので２００２／６／１
（土）にアクアグラベルＳに変更した。
・その後、底床内の汚れが限界と見極めた２００５／８／１３（土）に大掃除と
リセットを行った。途中で底床の厚さを増すために古い南国砂やＡＦジャパン
の礫（れき）を上から追加したりしたが、基本の底床はアクアグラベルのまま
で今に至る。
・ＣＯ２添加は最初は７４グラムの小型ボンベで細々とやっていたが、みどボン
を２００７／１／１３（土）に導入してＣＯ２をほぼ無制限に消費できるよう
になってからは水草の生長がかなり良くなった。
・しかし、手動操作による２１時から翌朝８時までの１１時間という長時間かつ
不規則な照明時間のため、コケに悩まされることが多かった。そこで、正確な
点灯／消灯と照明時間の短縮化を実現するためタイマーを導入。２１：００～
３：００の６時間照明にしたことにより、コケはおさまってほとんどの水草が
順調に生長するようになった。
初記録
２００９年初の各水槽の記録。
以下は全水槽の共通仕様。
○照明・・・２１：００～３：００の６時間
○ＣＯ２・・・２０：００～２：４０の６時間４０分
・ビールサーバー用５キロみどボンから５つの水槽に分岐
・３０⑤のみはＣ０２添加無し
○エアーレーション・・・３：００～２０：００の１７時間
※上記３つのオン／オフは３台のタイマーで制御

With every tumble....get HUMBLE !!!
Humility is often referred to as one of the most significant attribute of a great leader. In his book good to great, Jim Collins speaks about “humility “ along with “professional will” as key attributes a person must possess to be a level 5 leader. A great leader to be precise.
With the above backdrop lets see why we seem to like humble people or rather want people with humility to be our leaders. Then humility is a matter of perception. Humility is often confused to being quiet, silent, politically correct etc. Humility in my opinion has different behavior expectations in different situations. Humility is what it takes to stand up and speak, at the same time, humility is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
Humble people are fiercely competitive; yet respect their opponents for what they are and what they have. They differentiate lucidly between sport and life. They know how to separate issue from personality. They consistently learn and perform the art of balancing. They are principle centered. All of us are subjected to different challenges in different phases of life.
“The quantum of trial” varies from time to time. The quality of humility helps leader prevail over the trial each time and emerge stronger than ever before.
Today humility is a frequently used terminology in public life, especially in politics and very commonly used in corporate world as well. Most of the time it is referred as an antonym to “arrogance”. It’s a label to judge people”. Mostly we find “humility” associated with people who are quiet, introverted and harmless. As perceived. It’s not necessarily true. Humility today has become a kind of mask, which people use for manipulation or create a space for manipulation. In all walks of life.
Humility by truth is an outcome of constant trial, which an individual undergoes on an ongoing basis. Each time, the response he or she makes based on convictions and principles without being coerced by any external or internal stimuli whatsoever or by virtue of any emotion including fear. It’s a display of consistent integrity wherein one walks the talk.
Pride is opposite to humility. Humility is when you know you have the power, yet you don’t invoke it and show character to go an extra mile to protect interest of all involved. Particularly the weak.
Lets look at some interesting paradigm. Today, when a politician wants to go on fast, he musters large number of people using all his machinery, power etc. Years back, when Gandhi wanted to strike, He said “I am going on fast” and the whole nation followed him. Humble people lead by example. They have grace and charisma that reflects their character. They carry themselves well. Similarly in sports, when Sachin drives the ball or when Federer punches a strong forearm stroke, they display grace alongside power and perfection. Even opponents admire and adore them. That’s humility in action.
Mother Theresa remains as an epitome of humility through her service to mankind. Jesus through his teachings of love and forgiveness had a universal acceptance of his humble leadership even today. When a coward terrorist act burnt her family alive in north India, Mrs Staines displayed remarkable humility in forgiving the people who were involved and continued with the mission, which her husband had started. Humility is all about principles and hence stands the test of time.
Humility is to be unfazed by personal tragedies and stay firm on course for the larger purpose one gets chosen for. The choice and purpose depends on each individual and their evolution.
To display humility is an opportunity one gets all the time in different role we play. Be it a parent, child, citizen, leader, steward, friend, relative, employee and soon. We get our chances to act. With all equity and fairness. Then it’s a matter of choice based on principles and values we have imbibed within us that determines our action for every situation we encounter. It’s the choice we make with courage, irrespective of the situation, people or pressure we are faced with earns us the characteristics of being a humble person. Its is not a default tag one gets. One has to keep earning it and work for it. All the time.
Humble people don’t make excuses. They build bridges for themselves and for people around them. They stand out.
Humility hence is all about strength. Weak people cannot be humble.Humility hence is sign of strength NOT weakness…
To be aware of the evolution and change in you and around you would be the key …. to begin with.

A NEW BREED OF ATTACK DOG
I think this Marley & Me poster makes for an appropriate follow-up to my White Dog post below.
I don't know if that cute little dude just ate Kelly LeBrock, the Devil Wears Prada lady, or that Confessions of a Shopaholic girl, but he appears to be a much more efficient and tidy eater than Mr. White Dog.
Best Rated Web Hosting Sites

The Escape
17 April 1719. Four Irish soldiers, one Major Gaydon, Captains Misset, O'Toole, and Wogan leave Strasbourg on horseback and head east. This is not exceptionally unusual as there are many Irish found in foreign armies on the continent. But these men have a special mission. The rescue of a princess. This certain princess is imprisoned in a castle in Innsbruck in southern Austria. Accompanying the soldiers are two women, the wife of Capt Misset to act as a companion to the princess and a servant named Jenny. Jenny has an important part to play in this rescue, because if it were to succeed would be the principle ruse. Recently Capt Wogan has visited Innusbruck as an itinerant peddler and visited the princess who has agreed to the plan for the escape.
After a journey of 10 days they finally arrive in Innsbruck. The weather is bad, a pouring rain and driving wind. Fortunately this was the best weather for the plot to succeed.
Arriving at the castle they are met by the princess' servant named Chateaudeau, who taking Jenny with him, returns to the apartments of the princess where the princess and her mother await
The plan calls for Jenny and the princess to exchange places and clothes. Jenny will remain behind in the castle and feign illness until the party escapes south into Italy. Jenny however is noticeably taller than the princess and so has to remain abed if the disguise is to work. The princess on her part must wear slippers instead of shoes with heels; unfortunate in this weather. The princess, in Jenny,s cloak, slips out of the castle with the servant Chateaudeau and her jewels. Upon reaching the gate Chateaudeau says "Goodnight" loud enough for Capt Wogan, standing nearby, to hear. Then the princess, disguised as the servant Jenny, steps out past the guard and leaves the castle. The plan has worked perfectly... Thus far
Capt Wogan leads the princess to an inn where the others await them and they set off towards the Italian border. Going just a short way the discover that in the rush to go the princess has left her jewels in the inn! Captain O'Toole turns his horse about and speeds back to the inn that they had just left. It is the middle of the night. Capt O,Toole dare not pound on the door, but being a big man lifts the door of the hinges, grabs the jewels and leaves. Riding hard he catches up with the party on the road.
Poor Jenny keeps up the pretence of being the Princess as long as she can by remaining in bed pretending to be sick but finally the truth is discovered. The Castle governor send word to the next town to stop the party. As luck would have it Captains Missett and O'Toole trailed behind as the escape party's rearguard. Falling in with the messenger they treat him to refreshment at an inn where the poor fellow found it impossible to continue on horseback.
The escapees were having a hard time as well. The food was deplorable and for some reason almost uneatable. The were forced to make tea in a can that had previously held oil. The post horses they received were almost useless, ...and their coach broke down. Anything that could go awry did, except that after four grueling days they reached the border, and were safely in Italy
And who is this Princess? She was Maria Klementyna Zophia Sobieska(1) daughter of Prince James Louis Henry Sobieski, and granddaughter of King Jan III, Sobieski (2) she had ben imprisioned in Insbruck by the Holy Roman Emperor by request of King George I, to prevent her marriage to the son of King James II of England (and VII of Scotland). Prince James Edward had, since 1701 been recognized as the true King of England. He would have been James III. He is remembered by his most common sobriquet, "Old Pretender".
After the marriage of Princess Klementyna and Prince James, they had a son. Naming him Charles Edward Louis John Casimir Silvester Severino Maria Stuart. He is destined to lead the "45" Jacobite rising as "Bonnie Prince Charlie". His birthday is today 31 December in the year 1720.

After a journey of 10 days they finally arrive in Innsbruck. The weather is bad, a pouring rain and driving wind. Fortunately this was the best weather for the plot to succeed.
Arriving at the castle they are met by the princess' servant named Chateaudeau, who taking Jenny with him, returns to the apartments of the princess where the princess and her mother await
The plan calls for Jenny and the princess to exchange places and clothes. Jenny will remain behind in the castle and feign illness until the party escapes south into Italy. Jenny however is noticeably taller than the princess and so has to remain abed if the disguise is to work. The princess on her part must wear slippers instead of shoes with heels; unfortunate in this weather. The princess, in Jenny,s cloak, slips out of the castle with the servant Chateaudeau and her jewels. Upon reaching the gate Chateaudeau says "Goodnight" loud enough for Capt Wogan, standing nearby, to hear. Then the princess, disguised as the servant Jenny, steps out past the guard and leaves the castle. The plan has worked perfectly... Thus far
Capt Wogan leads the princess to an inn where the others await them and they set off towards the Italian border. Going just a short way the discover that in the rush to go the princess has left her jewels in the inn! Captain O'Toole turns his horse about and speeds back to the inn that they had just left. It is the middle of the night. Capt O,Toole dare not pound on the door, but being a big man lifts the door of the hinges, grabs the jewels and leaves. Riding hard he catches up with the party on the road.

Happy Japa 2009
Hare Krsna everyone. Today I just want to thank you all for the nice association I had from you all during this year of 2008. If I had to state here all my experiences in this blog, I could say it brought me much more realisations than I had in my all 16 years of Krsna consciousness. First because I could share with you all my steps and experiences with chanting, then I got purified by listening to lectures, retreats, classes and reading all in order to give you the best from senior vaisnava's realisations and teachings on japa.I would like to thank all the wonderful vaisnavas that contributed with their writings here and also the ones who commented on our posts. Thank you for the ones who attended the Japa Room sessions and also improved in japa, overcame obstacles and for sure might have a lot to share here. Please keep on coming back in the next year and give us your rare association.
I grew so much in my devotional path because by the Lord's mercy I could experience how wonderful is to glorify the Holy Names of the Lord, how amazing is to have freedom to speak about how these names have an effect on our daily lives and also how they reciprocate with our efforts.
I am sharing here that the Holy Names of the Lord changed my life for better, brought me experiences in spiritual life that I have never had and also helped me to work on my own weaknesses and improve my personal life.
I would like to wish you all a fantastic and amazing 2009 - full of realisations with the Holy Names, full of devotional service, proper association of devotees, reciprocation from the Lord in your life and all the good things you deserve to have as good devotees and protected souls from the Lord.
Hope that Nama prabhu blesses us all with His association through another year 2009.
Hare Krsna.

The Value of Resolutions Made Public
I completely forgot about the resolution I made last year (December 2, 2007 to be exact - why wait for the New Year’s rush?) to write the magnum opus. It must have been simmering on the back burner as the thousand and one priorities got in the way because as the year wore on Jack and I returned to working through details. We even submitted a proposal a couple of weeks ago. Now, with two days to go before year’s end, it is almost complete.
Did it happen because of the resolution? Or despite it?
Human nature being what it is, we are so often our own worst enemy. We refuse to listen to reason, choking off the wisdom of our own inner voice. We take our hard-won power and toss it away like trash. And we fight our most positive impulses with a hodge-podge of anxiety, conflict and confusion.
I’d like to think I did it because I promised you I would and I like to keep my word. So I’ll give you this one for 2009. Words. I’ll be back with a lot more of them.

ON DVD : WHITE DOG (1982)
Sometimes the best art is fashioned from the simplest of elements. On its surface, White Dog comes off like a low-budget contractual obligation at the end of a career, or a career-in-transition vehicle for a rising star (Kristy McNichol) gone miserably wrong. However, and especially after its first half hour, White Dog stands as Samuel Fuller's most profound work. Unappreciated even up unto its director's passing, the long overdue DVD release of White Dog should bring more allure and discussion about Fuller's ever evolving legacy.Like the controversial Peeping Tom did for Michael Powell , Samuel Fuller's White Dog went a long way in (temporarily) damaging the reputation of its creator. While unfair, the shock of a Peeping Tom was understandable in the footsteps of Powell's A Canterbury Tale, I Know Where I'm Going, and The Red Shoes. But Fuller was a different case. He was the cigar-chomping bastard director of The Naked Kiss, a movie still able to shake modern sensibilities with its portrayal of bald prostitutes, molestation, and handicapped children. So why suddenly all the fuss?
Well, White Dog confronts the topic of racism, and, as we well know - perhaps now more than ever - race is an arena few artists dare to enter. The quickest way to quiet somebody (an artist) is to label them a racist. Meanwhile, representations in art over issues such as racial identity, immigration, and poverty get either glossed over or swept under the rug, leaving our culture the weaker for it.
Late one night in the Hollywood Hills, an aspiring actress, Julie (McNichol), hits a dog with her car. She takes the all-white German Shepard to the vet then keeps watch over him while awaiting a response from her FOUND DOG fliers. After saving her from a rapist, Julie and the dog bond. However, Julie soon discovers that her new companion is an attack dog trained to maul black people. She then takes the dog to a animal shelter where a man named Keys (Paul Winfield) vows to break the mutt from its hateful ways.The scenes between Keys and the German Shepard make up the heart of White Dog. As Keys' racial counterpart, it was an ingenious move by Fuller to bottle the learned behaviors of hatred and bigotry inside of an animal instead of a human. An actor would be too aware, handling face-to-face scenes of unleashed and uncaged racial confrontation with a heavy, knowing cloud over their head. But a dog acts on instinct; its performance doesn't pay notice to the camera.
Images of Keys lifting his shirt, exposing his black skin just inches from the caged eyes of a snarling white-coated beast are equal to the purest visual cinema we get from silent film. In fact, sequences between Keys and the dog retain their power even with the sound turned down. Keys' resilience is admirable, almost saintly. When the dog escapes and brutally kills a man inside a church (looking up at a stained-glass image of St. Francis as if to scoff at it), Keys refuses to put him down, even against the wishes of Julie. Allusions to Keys as a MLK-type figure would not be ridiculous.
Like any great film, multiple viewings and late-night reflection can open up doorways and interpretations that didn't initially stand out. One of my pet theories about White Dog is that, on a sub-textual level, the dog symbolizes Hollywood producers/"the industry", a guard keeping red-fanged watch on frustrated visionaries like Fuller.
In one specific scene (pictured above) Julie's dog tags along on a film shoot. Before the set is crashed in a fit of stark violence by the dog onto a black actress, Fuller gives us a peek of this "movie inside a movie" being filmed. Shot against cheap rear projection and flimsy props, two young women tour the streets of Paris. One can't help but see this as Fuller's jabbing acknowledgement that France became somewhat of a critical safety zone for him in his later years. And there is further, possible back-scratching reference to the New Wave's well-known validation of Fuller when Nichols takes a copy of Hitchcock/Truffaut with her to the hospital as a get well gift for the attacked actress.
On its broadest level, White Dog is about ingrained bigotry of all kinds. Learned or not, that type of behavior is inexcusable and Fuller treats it as such. However, he also appreciates the complication (see the black & white type on a gray background during the title sequence) and steps away from any quick condemnation. Why else do you think he chose a dog, perhaps the most sympathetic creature on Earth, to carry the weight of the most despicable actions of humankind?

Tips for Small Business Web Hosting
If you are planning to establish a small sized online business, then you first need to evaluate the level of hosting services and requirements and thereby select a hosting company and package that would function as an impetus for the future growth of your website. By following a few basic tips and guidelines, you are sure to find a hosting package that is best suited for your small business web hosting needs:
• The first thing to keep in mind is the level and quality of customer support offered by the company. A professional and reliable host would offer 24/7 customer support and should be able address any kind of queries or technical issues promptly. So even if your website is experiencing a downtime, you would be informed in advance and have an idea of the turnaround time to get it online again. Also, the support should preferably be live, phone as well as feature a ticket support.
• It is a good idea to perform a price comparison between different web hosts and choose a provider that offers best value for money. Most hosting providers offer various value-added features and hosting tools in order to enrich hosting experience. It is important to also detect any kind of hidden costs associated with the hosting packages. Read the Service Agreement in its entirety in order to avoid any future complications.

The host should allow a simple upgrade to the hosting account, in case your website requirements grow. Also look for unlimited domains and unlimited email accounts. These are highly utilizable to the web master who is wanting to establish a small business online.
• Other features and tools to consider include unlimited FTP accounts, PHP support, unlimited domains, unlimited sub-domains, Fantastico as well as 24 hour support.
• Ensure that the company has a reliable record and relatively positive and unbiased customer reviews. A fair amount of research and analysis would go into the entire process of web host searching and with fair amount of knowledge and industry news; you would be able to make a well-informed decision. A host that offers ample room for the growth of your online small business and an easy to use interface would be a perfect choice to begin with.

Genocide in the Vendée
This weekend unbeknown to me the History Channel played a series of programs on the French Revolution. Now this series had played before but I had purposely neglected to watch it because the History Channel has be come a mouthpiece of those "progressive" elements in American society. My wife Suzanne however, did surf through the TV and found the series and watched it. I caught only the last part of the last episode, the one which contained the excesses of the Vendée, the de-Christianization under Hebert, the death of Robespierre and the Rise of the Ogre.It is funny, but of all these things, the one which was glossed over was the Genocide in the Vendée. I have written on this before. Any country which chooses to call itself a nation born on Liberty, Equality, and Brotherhood, and all the other Masonic values, yet condemns its people by savage torture and murder is founded on a lie.
Maria-Elena has posted an article on the Genocide in the Vendée today. It is a subject well worth remembering because it is only a step away...
...The descendants of those Catholics who were massacred during the French Revolution are striving for the mass murders to be recognized as genocide. The article does not mention the word "Catholic" although it acknowledges that the Vendéeans were slaughtered for their religion. There are some scholars who take issue with the use of the word "genocide." I personally cannot think of a more adequate term, especially since General Westermann bragged about the fact that he had "exterminated" everyone in the Vendée.... more
More from the Daily Telegraph article...
More articles are found here and here and again here...
In French this film, see how the demand for the actions in the vendee to be called a genocide have been met by the French government with disdain here...
Other articles by me are here...
They are remembered.

Valkrye
This weekend I went to see the much advertised Valkyre, starring Tom Cruise. I had hoped for better. Being a Catholic and familiar with the story of Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg I saw none of the torment that he felt in making his decision to commit tyrannicide. As many officers Von Stauffenburg originally was a supporter of the Nazis and Hitler in particular. As the war progressed and he realized he was a part of a giant killing machine he grew disenchanted.The film begins with Von Stauffenburg in Africa, disputing with a General over an order received for an advance. As the scene progresses he is tragically wounded by British aircraft strafing his troops. His wounds require that he be returned to Germany to recover.
Von Stauffenburg did not enter into his attempted tyrannicide easily. His Catholic and German upbringing meant that violating his oath, even to one as evil as Hitler, difficult to accept. As Charlotte Corday did more than 100 years earlier he studied the writings of Catholic theologians. He finally arrived at the decision that in order to save the many he must do away with Hitler. this action involved treason.
Of course this film did not show any of the moral troubling of Von Stauffenburg.Tom Cruise created a mere shadow of Von Stauffenburg, he has no substance. Perhaps this film is a passive restatement of his own self. This Von Stauffenburg is a Scientologist. There is no forethought, no moral dilemma, no doubts, Tom Cruise has remade Von Stauffenburg in his own image and likeness. This is a World war II version of Mission Impossible. It failed miserably with me. Tom Cruise did not command my respect and disrespected the memory of Von Stauffenburg.
Dieu le Roy,
de Brantigny
I probably should have watched Despereaux instead...
NOTE: I should probably take a minute to say what an oath is and why not breaking one is important. When a person takes and oath he calls God to be his witness and vouch for the truthfulness of a statement or a promise. That is why breaking an oath is bad. If we break an oath we make a liar out of God by our actions.
A vow on the other hand is a promise made to God, breaking one's vows mean that we break a promise made to God. Marriage is one example of a vow, the religious life is another.
People in this age of "Rationalization" hold little stock in Oaths and vows. That is probably why so many couples who are going to be married write prenuptial agreements, they have no faith in their ability to keep a vow or be true to an oath.
Peruvian Jesus born to Virgin Mary on Christmas
Don't be confused by this next article. I was taken aback for a second. Good name for this baby...
Twenty-year-old Huarcaya, … LIMA (Reuters) – Virgin Mary, a 20-year-old Peruvian woman, gave birth to a baby boy on Christmas day and named him Jesus, Peru's state news agency said on Friday.
The baby's father, Adolfo Jorge Huamani, 24, is a carpenter. Religious Peruvians compared him to Joseph the Carpenter in the Bible.
"Two thousand years later the story of Bethlehem is relived," read the headline about the birth in El Comercio, the main newspaper in Peru, a predominantly Catholic country.
The mother, Virgen Maria Huarcaya, delivered the 7.7 pound (3.5 kg) boy, Jesus Emanuel, in the early hours of Christmas at the central maternity hospital in Lima, the capital.
"A few days ago we had decided to name my son after a professional soccer player," the father said. "But thanks to a happy coincidence this is how things ended up."
Virgen Maria Huarcaya holds her baby son named Jesus, in Lima December 25, 2008.

The Impact Of The Holy Names
Hare Krsna everyone. I have just read in the Bhagavad Gita 12.8 purport the following:
"A devotee does not live on the material plane — he lives in Kṛṣṇa. The holy name of the Lord and the Lord are nondifferent; therefore when a devotee chants Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa and His internal potency are dancing on the tongue of the devotee."
Here is stated the importance of being always engaged on chanting. It's very true that we have this feeling sometimes, that we live in Krsna, that when we chant with attention the Lord comes and dances in our tongues. That's the instruction precribed by Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati, that when we chant with our hearts and not just the lips we can really relish a relationship with Krsna through the Holy Names.
I know you all may say that chanting with the heart is something very far to achieve and also it's for some devotees who can really dedicate to chanting but we are these devotees - everytime we read about the Lord, everytime we talk and share our realisations with others here.....we water our seed of devotion and it grows inside us, making us stronger to face our obstacles and be good chanters.
I know you all may say that chanting with the heart is something very far to achieve and also it's for some devotees who can really dedicate to chanting but we are these devotees - everytime we read about the Lord, everytime we talk and share our realisations with others here.....we water our seed of devotion and it grows inside us, making us stronger to face our obstacles and be good chanters.
Yesterday listening to my Gurudev's lecture on a Japa retreat in San Diego, he said that just by reading an article by Mahatma Prabhu called Courtesy Japa, he started thinking more about this topic and now he gives Japa retreats - he teaches others how to chant better and it all started from reading - that's the impact that Nama prabhu has on us.
Srila Prabhupada used to say that when you talk about a topic and share it for 30 minutes it's the same as reading for 6 hours...so when we share our realisations, talk to others about Krsna - we really learn the philosophy more and more and the impact is tremendous in our spiritual lives. So share with us what impact the chanting of nice Japa has been having on you, so we can be delighted by your relationship with Krsna.
Hare Krsna.

Na virada.
Final de ano. Pensamentos positivos, boas vibrações, preces e agradecimentos. Muito mais do que no Natal, acho que é isso que sentimos no ar com a chegada do Ano Novo. Pouca coisa muda de uma data pra outra, mas no final das contas eu enxergo tudo diferente. No Ano Novo também há comida farta e reunião da família, mas não há comércio lotado e nem presentes a serem distribuídos; exatamente por esses motivos prefiro Ano Novo. Parece tudo muito mais espontâneo, afinal você não vai se reunir com a sua família porque precisa dar ou receber um presente, mas sim porque quer lhes desejar uma boa passagem de ano. Talvez seja só comigo que isso acontece, mas eu me conecto mais com o Divino no Ano Novo do que no Natal. Mas que seja a data que for, o importante é se conectar.
Ano Novo tem todo aquele clima de renovação, bondade, alegria e paz. Ninguém está ao lado do outro pensando no que vai ganhar mais tarde, mas sim pensando em como quer que seja o próximo ano. Por mais que mesmo nessa data existam aqueles desejos falsos e uma certa hipocrisia da parte de alguns, ainda acredito que é na madrugada do dia 31 para o dia 1° que as pessoas têm a chance de serem o mais sinceras possíveis. De se conectarem com Deus, com Alá, com a luz, com o universo, seja lá como chamam... É na famosa virada, iluminada por milhares de fogos de artifício e agitada por garrafas borbulhantes de champagne, que a humanidade pode se redimir e se renovar. Isso poderia ser feito em outra data? Claro! Mas convenhamos, seres humanos não são tão magníficos assim (nem todos, pelo menos). Nos dias de hoje é muito mais fácil você rezar em alguma dessas datas comemorativas em que sua família se reúne e te lembra de como é agradecer por algo do que depois que você escapou de um assalto que poderia ter tirado a sua vida. Provavelmente é por isso que certas datas se tornaram grandes feriados: seres humanos precisam de pequenos lembretes de como agradecer, de como ser bom, de como ser honesto, de como ajudar e de como se renovar.
Então, como bons seres humanos, lembrem-se de que não é só na virada do ano que seus parentes e amigos precisam que vocês lhes deseje tudo de bom, muita paz, alegria e saúde; não é só na virada do ano que aquele seu amigo com quem você não fala muito precisa de um abraço seu; não é só na virada do ano que você pode se purificar e fazer de si mesmo uma nova pessoa; não é só na virada do ano que você pode agradecer tudo que tem de bom e pedir por um pouquinho mais com muita fé. Qualquer dia pode ser Ano Novo dentro de você, basta querer.
Ps.: Última postagem do ano. A partir de amanhã estarei viajando e ficarei fora até meados de janeiro. À todos que passarem e não passarem por aqui, desejo um Feliz Ano Novo repleto de luz e paz. Que os pedidos feitos à meia-noite se tornem reais e que 2009 possa ser muito melhor que 2008. Abraços da autora.
