clipper's remarks: A great story about the stadium in Champaign.

Clip Source: sports.espn.go.com

"Standing here in the shadow of this everlasting monument," Huff said, "we can, and we will, resolve to keep alive that spirit which they so nobly exemplified in camp and on the field of battle."

The ceremony concluded when Lew Sarett, Illinois '16, read his "Ode to Illinois," a poem of seven stanzas that traced the history of the state from pioneer to that very day.

Know that the broken hosts
Of martial-moving ghosts,
Who gave to a warring world their last full breath,
And won to immortality in death,
Hovering in stadium shaft and tower height,
In memorial court and buttressed peak,
Shall watch for you, and speak
To you of Great Moments in a Greater Fight.
O Men of Illinois, in war and peace and play,
So may we live that when the crucial fight is won,
And the long race run,
These spirits of an elder day
Shall bend to each of us and say:
Well done! Well done!
Yours is the will to win. Well done, my prairie son.

peace pipe....1

I first got to know about the Native American peace pipe from a Native American friend. I often noticed that he used the expression “Smoked the peace pipe” whenever he referred to patching up with someone after a fight. One day I got curious and asked him about it. He enlightened me on the ancient tradition of smoking a peace pipe by the native Indians. The peace pipe also known as medicine pipe or calumet is used by many Native American tribes as a symbol of peace and as an offering to Mother Earth for her bountiful gifts.

Lee Sandlin: Losing the War

clipper's remarks: Quite long – click through for the full essay.

I figured people had to know the basics -- World War II isn't exactly easy to miss. It was the largest war ever fought, the largest single event in history. Other than the black death of the Middle Ages, it's the worst thing we know of that has ever happened to the human race. Its aftereffects surround us in countless intertwining ways…

So what did the people I asked know about the war? Nobody could tell me the first thing about it. Once they got past who won they almost drew a blank. All they knew were those big totemic names -- Pearl Harbor, D day, Auschwitz, Hiroshima -- whose unfathomable reaches of experience had been boiled down to an abstract atrocity. The rest was gone…

I think what my little survey really demonstrates is how vast the gap is between the experience of war and the experience of peace.

People my age and younger who've grown up in the American heartland can't help but take for granted that war is unnatural. We think of the limitless peace around us as the baseline condition of life.

But there've been places and times where people have thought of war as the given and peace the perversion. The Greeks of Homer's time, for instance, saw war as the one enduring constant underlying the petty affairs of humanity, as routine and all-consuming as the cycle of the seasons

In our own culture the people who know what war is like find it almost impossible to communicate with the children of peace. In the last election Bob Dole was defeated in large part because of World War II -- what he thought it meant, and what he didn't see it meant to people of a later generation.

Out of idle curiosity, I've been asking friends, people my age and younger, what they know about war

To give everybody a big enough target I asked about World War II.

The The "The Beat(en) Generation"

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 17:41:00 GMT

clipper's remarks: And our youth, oh youth, are being seduced
By the greedy hands of politics and half truths

The beaten generation, the beaten generation
Reared on a diet of prejudice and misinformation
The beaten generation, the beaten generation
Open your eyes, open your imagination

We're being sedated by the gasoline fumes
And hypnotised by the satellites
Into believing what is good and what is right

You may be worshipping the temples of mammon
Or lost in the prisons of religion
But can you still walk back to happiness
When you've nowhere left to run?

If they send in the special police
To deliver us from evil and keep us from peace

Then won't the words sit ill upon their tongues
When they tell us justice is being done
That freedom lives in the barrels of a warm gun?

The beaten generation, the beaten generation
Reared on a diet of prejudice and misinformation
The beaten generation, the beaten generation
Open your eyes, open your imagination

Leonard Jacobson teaches only two things. How to become fundamentally present^[4] and how to arise in mastery of your mind and ego, so that you are no longer involuntarily pulled out of Presence. ^[5] To be fully present is to be in a state of consciousness which is free from thought and is characterized by peace, love, wholeness, oneness and deep inner silence. Presence is your natural state. When you are not present, you feel a subtle feeling of separation from life, others and God. ^[6]

Credit Debt Consolidation

There's nothing especially fun about finding yourself in credit debt, and even with the best intentions and efforts to maintain a positive and rewarding credit score, many people find themselves in this situation each year. It can be difficult to navigate the paths of using credit –especially in financially turbulent times. With unexpected losses in income, sudden expenses, and simple difficulty meeting pre-arranged payments, bills can quickly stack up and create a lot of mess, both in terms of paperwork and phone calls and for the peace of mind of debtors. Luckily, however, credit debt consolidation can help sort out the complexities of credit debt and put individuals and families on the right track towards resolving credit problems and regaining peace of mind.

Unto Ashes Lyrics

"Unto Ashes Krampuslied lyrics"

An Krampus nun bieten wir ein kleines Lied
Sein Haus ist so still, doch findet nicht Fried
Er denkt an den Ketten, die schmieden er muß
Für Kinder, die müssen für Sünden tun Buß.
Ja grinselt er über das Wimmern und Weh
Und fesselt sie fest, macht es nichts wie sie fleh'n
Trinkt Blut aus den Fingerlein, die er abhackt

So hütet euch Kinder vor der Krampusnacht!

(To Krampus now offer we a little song
His house is so silent, but findeth no peace
He ponders the fetters that he still must forge

For children who have to do penance for sins

He sneers and he snickers at whining and woe
And chains them up tight, no matter how they beg
Drinks blood from the fingerkins he has hacked off
So beware, little children, of Krampusnight!)

Send "Krampuslied" Ringtone to your Cell

OBAMA and the NOBEL PRIZE

Obama and the Nobel Prize: When War becomes Peace, When the Lie becomes the Truth

by Michel Chossudovsky

When war becomes peace,

When concepts and realities are turned upside down,

When fiction becomes truth and truth becomes fiction.

When a global military agenda is heralded as a humanitarian endeavor,

When the killing of civilians is upheld as "collateral damage",

When those who resist the US-NATO led invasion of their homeland are categorized as "insurgents" or "terrorists".

When preemptive nuclear war is upheld as self defense.

When advanced torture and "interrogation" techniques are routinely used to "protect peacekeeping operations",

When tactical nuclear weapons are heralded by the Pentagon as "harmless to the surrounding civilian population"

When three quarters of US personal federal income tax revenues are allocated to financing what is euphemistically referred to as "national defense"

When the Lie becomes the Truth.

Shut Up or We'll Shut You Down

clipper's remarks: No longer able to sit idly by while the President and his chief minion in the House amateurishly try to revamp one-sixth of the U.S. economy, the health insurance industry released a study they commissioned that analyzes the costs of the Obama-Pelosi plan. The results are quite sobering. The study shows that "between 2010 and 2019 the cumulative increases in the cost of a typical family policy under this reform proposal will be approximately $20,700 more than it would be under the current system." (Emphasis mine.)

Obama-Pelosi to Health Insurers: Shut Up or We'll Shut You Down

President Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and their Democratic followers in Congress have a rather draconian message for the private sector: Speak now, and we'll make you forever hold your peace.

Up until a few weeks ago, America's health insurers were sheepishly on board with the Obama-Pelosi health care reform plan. Perhaps the industry feared that voicing any concern about the plan would unleash the ire of an increasingly rabid Democratic majority on Capitol Hill. As it turns out, the health insurers were right.

Obama-Netanyahu talks see no result

clipper's remarks: Israel will only work for anything "on their terms only".
Having seen a bit more lately about the people in the settlements, it appears to be more like a "leper colony" type situation for those who Israel doesn't want ( and probably couldn't care if they came to nasty ends). No surprise when one of them claimed to hear supernatural voices.

Clip Source: english.aljazeera.net

The latest attempt by the US president to salvage the Middle East peace talks appears to have come to nothing after his meeting with Israel's prime minister ended with only a brief statement from the White House.

Binyamin Netanyahu left the White House on Monday after spending an hour and forty minutes inside with Barack Obama, without making the customary public appearance with his host.

A brief White House statement said that the two leaders discussed a number of bilateral issues, including Iran and "how to move forward on Middle East peace".

Before the meeting, Netanyahu said he was ready to engage in peace negotiations, but prospects of renewed talks appear dimmer than ever following Israel's refusal to halt settlement activity in the occupied territories, a pre-condition set by the Palestinians for the resumption of the talks.

Women Walking Alone

I am from long line of women who have walked alone …
From a land that smells of the blood of innocent people
From a people who have lost everything in war – sons, daughters, fathers, and mothers
From a people feeling hopeless
I am from long line of women who have walked alone

I never give up
I find my way and learn nothing is impossible to achieve
I ignore those things that destroy my mind
I learn that no one can help me except me
I accept reality and I’m ready to face any problem
Now I have ambition to achieve my goal
To help my people bring peace to the next generation

I am from long line women who have walked alone…
