I interpret you to mean that 'objective' implies accuracy and that it is arrived at through modern scientific means (most notably consensus after empirical observation and all the other commonly accepted elements). I mean by 'objective' 'of or relating to the object' (especially regarding the 'objects' of consciousness -- those separate from the self). |My remarks are not the results of some deep philosophical musings.

Most of the rest deleted unless you ask a specific question. |>| it called "objective." Because "we" agree that it is external(ly |>|observable), and "we" agree on the interpretation of the sense data that |>|we have received. |>...'objective' is an extreme which relates to, when speaking as |>individuals, that which is not our experience. The subject defines |>the boundaries of the objective and vice versa. |This statement is intruiging. I am trying to describe objectivity the way |it is used in the the scientific method for hypothesis formation. That is, |the definition of objective in the term 'obejctive science.' Yes, and I am contrasting this with what I consider to be a more valuable definition of objectivity. I do not say that your usage is wrong (or even unorthodox!), only that I think they are too extreme for me. |But you statement seems to point to another definition. Are you saying |that to you objective is what we relate that wasn't our experience (perhaps |it was related to us), and that what we have experienced directly is |subjective? I use my terms rather specifically. When we look at a 'thing', if we think it is part of us and that we feel it or think it (i.e. a thought or how my leg feels from the inside), then it is a 'subject'. When we look at a 'thing' and see that it is somehow outside our personal experience (i.e. when I look at my leg from the outside, or when I look at a chair), then it is an 'object' to us. I tend to think that 'direct experience' involves a resolution of object and subject and enters into mystical or ineffable events. |If they are, then I would make two observations. 1. This certainly is not |the scientific meaning of objective. It is much close to what I described. Please understand that I do not associate any specific knowledge-system with Science. I am only repeating to you now what was written in _Liber Scire_, which is why I asked you to read it rather than perpetuate difficulties in our communications. However, I shall continnue for the nonce. I do not think that there is 'a scientific meaning' of anything. Science is a mechanism (esp. when we speak of 'the scientific method', which is interpreted rather precisely and presented in _Liber Scire_ to be the only method by which we can learn). It is THE way of coming to know things. Very specific meaning-term associations are part of the *knowledge-structures* which Science generates. Once we begin to cement any particular knowledge- structure to Science itself (which modern science has done with its material- and object-focus), then we have lost true Science and have entered into the same kind of propaganda and dogma which scientists attempted to throw off when opposing the Church in Europe. |2. I would be very surprised if it is even the common meaning. It is not and I have said as much. It is quite specific and I make no bones about this. |>The interpretation of the sense data is unimportant when describing the |>referent to 'objective science', since Science will yield various |>interpretations and knowledge-structures for each paradigm it generates. | |This statement cannot be accepted at face value without some explanation. Cf. _Liber Scire_. |As a 'trained scientist,' I can tell you that interpretation (sometimes |called analysis) is crutial to making sense (other meaning of the word) of |data. Of course it is. I see that you did not understand my statement. My main point is that there is not a single knowledge-structure which Science generates. Oh yes, modern science, with its dogma -- i.e. the Church of Modern Science -- clings tightly to one knowledge-structure which it likes to call 'an approximation of truth'. Modern scientists who buy into this are merely well-trained Priests of the New Church of Reason. True Science doesn't limit itself to one paradigm. | is a step in hypothesis formation. (What do |you want me to do, draw you a flow chart?) I agree with this and there is a flow-chart drawn in _Liber Scire_ which incorportates 'Hypothesis Generation'. |>| an effort to create an objective reality that he can defend, [tyagi] |>|continually intermingles the three in a way that invites confusion. |>Mysticism invites con-fusion. This leads to logical paradox. |I don't think that is the case. I agree that mysticism is involved in |resolving aparrent paradoxes, but I don't think creating confusion |is the most effective way to accomplish this. I place a hyphen amidst 'con-fusion' for good reason. Check out the literal (i.e. etymological) significance of the term. I think that Chaos mages should use this as some sort of equivalent of Gnosis. |>|...he leaves the clear impression that for "objective events" he (and we) |>|can know what is, based on his interpretation of the event. |>Absolutely not. In fact, 'objective knowledge' is a different animal |>entirely than 'subjective knowledge'. At least with subjective it isn't |>so ABSTRACTED from our experience.... |...How so? Do you equate objective knowledge with shared knowledge? Objective knowledge is knowledge about the world of objects (usually the material world) and is often consensus-based within modern Science. I know this is not a conventional usage. I'm unconventional. |Verifiable knowledge? 'Verification' is only the means of testing whether a given knowledge- structure conforms to our experience. Now we can take 'our experience' to include all of society (thus making consensus physical truths available) or we can merely compare this with our own internal memory and its contents. I can personally 'verify' something if I see that that the knowledge-system somehow fits with my uninterpreted, perceived data. In this way I can see that Buddhist knowledge-structures conform to my experience of the world when I suspend my preferences and see only the logic and depth of meaning which these include. It is 'true' in that it conforms to my experience. The establishment of modern Science disputes this method of verification, placing a greater emphasis upon 'consensus' and 'objectivity' (i.e. being able to be verified by a great number of people). What this results in is materialism and an attachment to a very rudimentary knowledge-structure, very handy for dealing with the material world but not very good at helping us to improve our subjective and individual experience). |What does 'abstracted from our experience' mean? I meant by it a distance from oneself. When I think something it is quite personal, and is rudimentary to my experience. I do not have 'experience of' my thoughts. However, when I see a skull, I have an 'experience of' that skull. The skull and I are different things. Only if I were to engage mystical processes (which forge a unification of self-other) would I come to experience the skull directly, *being* the skull. When I speak of objects I speak of things outside myself, and these are 'abstracted from my experience' in that they are not me, not my experience itself, and not even attached to me or my experience. They are 'objects about which I may have an experience'. Knowledge is similarly analyzed. Objective knowledge is about things other than myself, about the world of objects, nouns. Subjective knowledge is about myself and its contents, subjects, verbs, perhaps adjectives, etc. |How does a piece of knowledge attain the label 'objective?' |What attribute of knowledge makes is subjective? Wonderful questions. I don't think you really want me to go into the politics and sociology of how certain things are given certain labels and why. It is terribly complex when we begin speaking about motivations of societies. *I* apply the label 'objective' to a piece of knowledge when it concerns some object outside myself, even when it concerns an object which is about me but is seen from outside. A good example here is my foot. Now I have an interior experience of what 'my foot' is. This includes all the various sensations *from the inside*. From the outside, and treated as an object, my foot is a biomechanism, a kind of pedalious movement-enabler. It is an 'it'. It has ceased to be' 'me'. It is 'a foot', and I can describe it from the OUTSIDE by giving you diagrams of how it is composed, of what parts, etc. SUBJECTIVE science (which is largely ignored or fledgeling) would engage metaphoric and perhaps, if possible, literal descriptions of how it FEELS to be that foot, what sort of knowledge the foot has interior to it, what knowledge we can have about that interior foot, etc. The attribute of knowledge that makes it subjective or objective is its RELATION TO ME AND HOW I INTERACT WITH IT. If when I'm reading the description I appear to be outside it looking in, then it is objective. If I appear to be inside looking out, then it is subjective. I don't know why this would be difficult to understand, no matter how unorthodox it will sound. |That it isn't shared? Both kinds of knowledge can be shared. A good example of shared subjective knowledge results from shamanic psychoactive ceremonies, wherein the group experiences a shared interior experience and a knowledge is revealed to all of them at once during the ceremony. This may be the basis of true consensus politics within some of those cultures. |That it *can't* be shared? All knowledge can be shared given the correct approach. |Certainly direct experience does *make* knowledge 'subjective,' does it? Not the way I use the terms. When I say 'direct knowledge' I mean 'that knowledge which identifies knower, known and knowledge'. I consider direct experience to be the ideal of mystical disciplines, including Science. |...See my questions above. Tell me what it means to you. Be as |clear as you own ideas will let you. I hope I have done your questions justice. |you strongly implied that knowledge of chakras was purely subjective and |unverifiable (sorry I didn't keep the posts). I hope you now see that I think that subjective knowledge can indeed be verifiable, but this doesn't make it the 'One True Knowledge'. Actually I think that many contradictory knowledge-structures can be verified, either objective or subjective. | seem to indulge from time to time in placing a particular activity |or type of knowledge firmly on one side of the fence or other. Yes, this is how I categorize my experience when reflecting upon it. I don't claim that everyone should see it my way. Quite to the contrary, I recommend variation and diversity of knowledge-structures! |>to place heavy truth-emphasis upon that which concerns the not-self (i.e. |>that which is 'free from the bias of human interpretation is the bastion |>of perfect truth'). I do not prefer modern Science because I feel that it |>offers an extremity (in fact one particular paradigm) which is therefore |>not as *useful* and becomes dogma rather than merely knowledge. |the extremity occurs in the popularization of the phenomenon, not in the |field of knowledge itself. You will not find dogmatists among the scientists |nearly as much as you will find them among the popularizers of science. Interesting. Among those who claim to be 'scientists' online (including yourself) I have noticed a preponderance of dogmatists who claim that my ideas are false because 'what I am saying about Science is not true'. That is, they proclaim the Law of Modern Science (essentially the popular notions within their particular, materialistic, objectivist field) and seek to put me down without understanding my meaning. So it goes. |>|...even phenomena which have been labeled subjective, if they provide |>|any sense data at all, are subject to some measurement which can be |>|verified and interpreted. |>I wouldn't have replied to your post except that I am quite interested |>in this. Given *your* notions of 'the subjective', please describe |>methods of measurement here. |Apply TSM. Repeat as necessary. :-) This works for both our approaches, though I'm sure we have different ideas about what constitutes 'TSM' and how this would be applied within the subjective realm. |Take a detailed account of some 'subjective phenomenon.' List all accounts |of 'effects.' Determine if any of these effects are verifiable vis some |kind of observation that can be repeated or witnessed. Devise experiment |to make observations (measurements). Analyze measurements. Propose |hypothesis based on measurements. Predict additional effects based on |hypothesis. Devise more experiments. Measure. Analyze. Propose. Predict. |etc. Yes, this is a very wonderful explanation of how modern (materialist) Science would deal with subjective phenomena. I repeat: |>Given *mine*, if you can see clear to it, please attempt the same. |>|>That is why I call modern materialist Science a religion which promotes |>|>its dogma as well as any Christian church. |>|...It would seem, if Tyagi's oversimplification were right, that it |>|should be possible to remove the subjective bias from our measurements, |>|and it is "only" a political problem. |>I fail to understand how you can get such conclusions from my words. In |>fact I tend to argue quite the opposite -- that 'subjective bias' is only |>a problem for those who chase the Objective Truth Mirage. |Or those that arbitrarily make a distinction between subjective and objective |based on the way they think it ought to be (where's Rush?). It is not a matter of 'what ought to be' but of 'what I want at the moment'. |>|But measurement is not existence, and interpretation is not measurement. |>|Variation creeps into the process at every step along the way. |>the establishment which is modern materialist Science promotes a single |>(perhaps even false) paradigm. You tell me that this implies that I |>think that there is some means of 'correcting' the process such that some |>kind of 'objective truth' may be obtained, apparently political. | your argument that chakras were not objectively verifiable, I did not say that they are not verifiable, only that they are likely subjective referents. I doubt that they will ever be found through measurement devices as they are described today. It is possible that objective science will indeed isolate specific bodily phenomena which correlate with the chakras. However, these may be synaptic rather than nervous or limbic fluctuations. | were offering a clear distinction between what you though was |subjective and what you thought was objective. Are you saying that you never |said it, or that that isn't what you meant? I think that people are describing interior events and wanting to 'verify' them objectively. I think this may be largely futile, especially when comparing this with SUBJECTIVELY verifying them (how does it fit with your experience?, how does it work with your life?, etc.). |>...the alternative to the propaganda of modern |>science is a withdrawal into greater uncertainty, especially wrt how |>Universe works and the perfect means of describing 'reality'. |...your notion of what modern science is and means is seriously flawed. I'm willing to presume this for the duration of a thought-experiment if you like. I have never been and am not now a member of the modern Scientific establishment. I have read literature published by various aspects of the modern (and post-modern!) scientific community. I have spoken to dozens of people who are trained by the modern establishment to 'do Science' and I have contemplated the writings of some philosophers of Science. I don't think I'm just fabricating all this out of my head. The Abyss is a trained Biologist, for example. I am quite fond of basic Physics ideas, myself, especially when these border on philosophical pursuits and apply to my life in very direct ways. |...the specific flaw is that you take science to be the object that |the popularizers of science paint it to be. This is possible. I have not focussed upon 'popularizers'. If you would mention who you think represents this type of hogwash, I'd like to hear it. As I said, I've tried to ground my ideas in very stable philosophical stone, so to speak, though I am quite willing to be challenged, especially when I get a sense that the individual is *also* interested in what I have to say and wishes an exchange rather than just a one-way affair. You've inspired me to continue this dialogue so I'm asking for elaboration. |Then when you see what a crock of shit it is, you decide to throw out |science. I don't know where you got the notion that I would through out Science. I have, after all, stipulated that I think that TSM is the ONLY WAY TO LEARN. I'm much more fanatical about Science than most scientists I know, except I don't associate Science with a particular knowledge-project-type. I agree that I promote my own description of Science, but only because I find that it conforms to my experience (i.e. I have verified it) and to the data I can see among reputable sources around me (i.e. consensus among those I feel understand my words and have similar valuative/logical acumen). |...I was only talking about the process we go thought in forming |knowledge, not whether any of that knowledge was/is true or false. Epistemology, yes. There is a vast field of it available within Western and Eastern disciplines. |Do you think I make a mis-statement describing the process? The only way you could possibly make a 'misstatement', as I see it, is if you said something logically impossible or something which you did not yourself have experience to verify. You describe your knowledge of the learning process. My only complaint is that you generalize way too much and that there are many alternatives to what you are suggesting which are just as true, as I see it. That's right, JUST AS TRUE. Note, I do not say that either you are right or they are right but neither can be. I think that this is the trap of 'One Wayism' which has infected most of Western pop-philosophy. Treat it like light-particles and light-waves if you like. |>My point is not that we should reach some certainty and believe that |>knowledge should only be obtained through one method, let alone that only |>one knowledge-structure (worldview) should be seized upon as accurate. |Regardless of what method we use to acquire knowledge, we tend to go |through a fairly well ordered set of steps in doing so. Well, that is what I assert when I say that TSM is the ONLY WAY TO LEARN. I provide a description, however, not a justification. I refuse to attempt to sway people toward my thought-processes. If it doesn't conform to what you have experienced, throw it out (but I recommend putting it in a place where you can retrieve it if you discover some value for it later). |we can abstract the set of steps we go through and talk about a generic |process. Yes, that is what _Liber Scire_ is about. It sets out very plainly how Science can be seen as a mechanism of application of TSM, and how this relates to Magick. |We might even be able to say that method one inserts a step here |or that method two deletes or modifies a step there. I think this could be |useful in comparing specific methods of acquiring knowledge, but I also |think this is much more concrete than anything we have been discussing so far. I'm unconvinced that there is more than one way we go about building knowldge-structures. |>Quite the contrary, I think that we ought proceed from the notion that |>what you say is accurate and see how far that gets us in the creation |>of data/information/knowledge. And I think we ought proceed from the |>various religious and philosophical notions the world over (Buddhism |>is a good example) and see where *they* get us. |??? This speaks volumes for our differences. If you cannot understand the above, then reread my words or ask questions about it (or end the discussion if it is too tedious for you). I cannot know where to address the confusion if you merely express it without detail. |>When it comes to objective and subjective sciences, I think it *practical* |>to divide them based upon the referent, not on some sort of criteria of |>accuracy, since all the latter does is polarize the various types. |What do you mean? I mean that equating 'accurate' with 'objective' is a greivous error. |What is the thing the symbol stands for? What is the |symbol? I am sorry, but I have no idea what you are proposing? Thing/symbol? I do not specify what it is we may have 'knowledge about', at least not in an absolute sense. There is experience. There is knowledge about that experience. Does the knowledge serve to orient us within the relationship described by that knowledge? If so, then it is useful. If not, then the knowledge is not useful to us. I'm not after the 'One True Knowldge Set'. Most modern Scientists are, even when they fudge with 'probability'. |>|It's not politics at fault, it's not science at fault. It's simply a |>|limitation of the life process. |The limitations I was referring to were those in determining where the fine |line between objective and subjective (or between verifiable and not |verifiable) lies. I clearly state again that when you discuss specific |phenomena you draw this line much more brightly than when you engage in |'philosophical' discussions, such as this one. I agree. My tendency is to define this line for myself and let others define it for themselves. Sometimes I draw it out very brightly, sometimes I blurr the distinction immeasurably. When it comes to a discussion of Science, I tend to stick to a certain data-set of distinction, though my experience varies tremendously, especially in nonordinary states of consciousness. |I will be happy to 'understand [your] very particular language' if you will |be so kind to keep it's meaning constant, or at the least, tell me when you |change it! :-). In the discussion concerning Science, TSM, objective/subjective knowledge, and the relationship between all of these with mysticism and magick I am indeed constraining myself to one single knowldge-set (one which I have founded upon _Liber Scire_ and continue to expand based on philosophical discussions like this one). I've been accused of 'changing what I mean partway through discussion', but I very rarely do this. What usually happens is that someone assumes (inaccurately) what I mean by a term and when they see this distinction they presume I previously meant what they'd projected. Then they accuse me of changing my meanings instead of looking at how they were projecting upon my words (which are sometimes ambiguous enough to incorporate many meanings, I know, though I sometimes make efforts to constrain this). |I was also struck by a couple of things that you said in this piece. |I wonder now, after reading your remarks, what you think science is. Science is the means by which we may come to know anything. The technik we use to do this is called, conventionally, learning. It is called within modern Scientific fields 'the scientific method'. As it says in _Liber Scire_, I think that modern Science is a special case of Science, very similar to how Newtonian Physics were a specific case in comparision to Einsteinian Physics. I presume this also of what *I* call TSM, which incorporates but extends beyond what most in the modern Scientific establishment call 'the Scientific Method', and these ideas are based the 'revolutionary Science' of Kuhn, Batesian Learning Theory, and my own speculations and discussions with scientists. |Given whatever you think it is, your words seem to betray a distrust of |it. (The thing you think science is) I distrust modern Science in that I do not think that it provides the 'One True Knowledge' and I see that it is popularly promoted (not only within the media but *also within the academic environment) as a dogma without comparative truth value. I think that this is not only sad, but oppressive. |I also felt that the words you wrote in this piece cautioning against |relying too much on the pursuit of objective truth were quite at odds |with past posts where you were more than willing to specifically place |events in either the objective or subjective category with ease. That is quite possible. I hope to keep my statements to the personal, relating it to my experience. When speaking of chakras recently I may have made very extreme assertions in response to extremities in contrast. Such is the way I engage debate. When the chips fall I do not believe anything and think that knowledge is a very wonderful tool but largely unnecessary and often an obstacle to direct experience. |On a couple of occasions where you asked me what I meant by a phrase, I had |to go back to my original message to get the context. Don't trim quite so |severly when you ask questions. Agreed. |When I signed onto alt.magick (where I am answering this) there were 1128 |unread messages.

The Scoop

What's red? A cherry. But Antoine Maisondieu didn't want to resort to the usual tricks of the trade, so he conjured it from a quality of Tolu balsam with a cherry facet, added safraleine for shine – and a leather effect that keeps the sweetness in check --, a drop of red mandarin for sweet juiciness as well as osmanthus and myrrh for their fruity effects. The heart burns like a cinnamon candy, freshened with geranium.

This cheery cherry is a totally new interpretation of the note, without a drop of added sugar: it takes the “tart” out of the pie, sticks it back in the tree, and is guaranteed to raise the big goofy grin you'd get if you were a kid let loose on an orchard.

Please note, this fragrance is not the same as the original 'PLAY' fragrance by CDG, which has been discontinued.

Here's what other people are saying about Red...
Dry, watery, sour, nothing like any "red" accented cologne I've tried - very poor blend. So boring scent.... and slightly more on the fem' side.
By   - from NYC on 3/18/2014
I agree with the previous review! Red is a delightful,fun scent! I was expecting something a little more off beat,It actually is a very PRETTY perfume,not really too spicy,or sweet,or not too juvenile. I am getting wafts of the incense also..nice.
By   - from Midwest on 9/6/2013
I can't believe no one has reviewed this fun fragrance yet! I am so pleased with it. It's not too sweet or too anything, really. Sillage is good but not too overpowering. It lasts all day without doing anything weird in the drydown. I think it's office appropriate, but really, it's perfect for a summer weekend. It reminds me a lot of Cherry Musk--I was surpised not to see that listed in the "you may also enjoy" fragrances listed along the bottom. Love the bottle and the name--both are perfect for this scent. Casual, breezy, playful, perfect!

    There's always talk these days about the "new atheists" except there's nothing new about their ideas at all. There have been atheists and agnostics for thousands of years. This book presents examples of the works of just a few. Hobbes, Spinoza, and Hume argue that religion is, at base, about superstition and fear of the unknown. The excerpt on miracles by Hume is the argument against miracles that has been used to great effect since Hume published it and is still used today! Emma Goldman's essay then shows how atheism gives rise to a positive humanist philosophy of life. Simply put, there's just no defense for not being familiar with these giants upon whose shoulders the "new atheists" stand. Be a part of a wider audience of people who have been exposed to the long tradition of great thinkers who have espoused a skepticism of religion. read this book.

IN this Æglogue is set forth a delectable controuersie, made in imitation of that in Theocritus: whereto also Virgile fashioned his third & seuenth Æglogue. They choose for vmpere of their strife, Cuddie a neatherds boye, who hauing ended their cause, reciteth also himsefe a proper song, whereof Colin he sayth was Authour.
Willye.        Perigot.        Cuddie.
TEll me Perigot, what shalbe the game,
Wherefore with myne thou dare thy musick matche?
Or bene thy Bagpypes renne farre out of frame?
Or hath the Crampe thy ioynts benomd with ache?
Ah Willye, when the hart is ill assayde,
How can Bagpipe, or ioynts be well apayd?
What the foule euill hath thee so bestadde?
Whilom thou was peregall to the best,
And wont to make the iolly shepeheards gladde
With pyping and dauncing, didst passe the rest.
Ah Willye now I haue learnd a newe daunce:
My old musick mard by a newe mischaunce.
Mischiefe mought to that newe mischaunce befall,
That hath so raft vs of our meriment.
But reede me, what payne doth thee so appall?
Or louest thou, or bene thy younglings miswent?
Loue hath misled both my younglings, and mee:
I pyne for payne, and they my payne to see.
Perdie and wellawaye: ill may they thriue:
Neuer knewe I louers sheepe in good plight.
But and if rymes with me thou dare striue,
Such fond fantsies shall soone be put to flight.
That shall I doe, though mochell worse I fared:
Neuer shall be sayde that Perigot was dared.
Then loe Perigot the Pledge, which I plight:
A mazer ywrought of the Maple warre:
Wherein is enchased many a fayre sight
Of Beres and Tygres, that maken fiers warre:
And ouer them spred a goodly wild vine,
Entrailed with a wanton Yuie twine.

 Thereby is a Lambe in the Wolues iawes:
But see, how fast renneth the shepheard swayne,
To saue the innocent from the beastes pawes:
And here with his shepehooke hath him slayne.
Tell me, such a cup hast thou euer sene?
Well mought it beseme any haruest Queene.

Thereto will I pawne yon spotted Lambe,
Of all my flocke there nis sike another:
For I brought him vp without the Dambe.
But Colin Clout rafte me of his brother,
That he purchast of me in the playne field:
Sore against my will was I forst to yield.
Sicker make like account of his brother.
But who shall iudge the wager wonne or lost?
That shall yonder heardgrome, and none other,
Which ouer the pousse hetherward doth post.
But for the Sunnebeame so sore doth vs beate
, Were not better, to shunne the scortching heate?
Well agreed Willy: then sitte thee downe swayne:
Sike a song neuer heardest thou, but Colin sing.
Gynne, when ye lyst, ye iolly shepheards twayne:
Sike a iudge, as Cuddie, were for a king.

 Perigot. IT fell vpon a holly eue,
Willye.   hey ho hollidaye,
Per.   When holly fathers wont to shrieue:
Wil.   now gynneth this roundelay.
Per.   Sitting vpon a hill so hye,
Wil.   hey ho the high hyll,
Per.   The while my flocke did feede thereby,
Wil.   the while the shepheard selfe did spill:
Per.   I saw the bouncing Bellibone,
Wil.   Hey ho Bonibell,
Per.   Tripping ouer the dale alone,
Wil.   she can trippe it very well:
Per.   Well decked in a frocke of gray,
Wil.   hey ho gray is greete,
Per.   And in a Kirtle of greene saye,
Wil.   the greene is for maydens meete:
Per.   A chapelet on her head she wore,
Wil.   hey ho chapelet,
Per.   Of sweete Violets therein was store,
Wil.   she sweeter than the Violet.
Per.   My sheepe did leaue theyr wonted foode,
Wil.   hey ho seely sheepe,
Per.   And gazd on her, as they were wood,
Wil.   woode as he, that did them keepe.
Per.   As the bonilasse passed bye,
Wil.   hey ho bonilasse,
Per.   She roude at me with glauncing eye,
Wil.   as cleare as the christall glasse:
Per.   All as the Sunnye beame so bright,
Wil.   hey ho the Sunne beame,
Per.   Glaunceth from Phoebus face forthright,
Wil.   so loue into thy hart did streame:
Per.   Or as the thonder cleaues the cloudes,
Wil.   hey ho the Thonder,
Per.   Wherein the lightsome leuin shroudes,
Wil.   so cleaues thy soule a sonder:
Per.   Or as Dame Cynthias siluer raye
Wil.   hey ho the Moonelight,
Per.   Vpon the glittering waue doth playe:
Wil.   such play is a pitteous plight.
Per.   The glaunce into my heart did glide,
Wil.   hey ho the glyder,
Per.   Therewith my soule was sharply gryde,
Wil.   uch wounds soone wexen wider.
Per.   Hating to raunch the arrow out,
Wil.   hey ho Perigot,
Per.   I left the head in my hart roote:
Wil.   it was a desperate shot.
Per.   There it ranckleth ay more and more,
Wil.   hey ho the arrowe,
Per.   Ne can I find salue for my sore:
Wil.   loue is a curelesse sorrowe.
Per.   And though my bale with death I bought,
Wil.   hey ho the heauie cheere,
Per.   Yet should thilke lasse not from my thought:
Wil.   so you may buye gold to deare.
Per.   But whether in paynefull loue I pyne,
Wil.   hey ho pinching payne,
Per.   Or thriue in welth, she shalbe mine.
Wil.   but if thou can her obteine.
Per.   And if for gracelesse greefe I dye,
Wil.   hey ho gracelesse griefe,
Per.   Witnesse, shee slewe me with her eye:
Wil.   let thy follye be the priefe.
Per.   And you, that sawe it, simple shepe,
Wil.   hey ho the fayre flocke,
Per.   For priefe thereof, my death shall weepe,
Wil.   and mone with many a mocke.
Per.   So learnd I loue on a hollye eue,
Wil.   hey ho hollidaye,
Per. That euer since my hart did greue.
Wil. now endeth our roundelay.

Sicker sike a roundle neuer heard I none.
Little lacketh Perigot of the best.
And Willye is not greatly ouergone,
So weren his vndersongs well addrest.
Herdgrome, I feare me, thou haue a squint eye:
Areede vprightly, who has the victorye?
Fayth of my soule, I deeme ech haue gayned.
For thy let the Lambe be Willye his owne:
And for Perigot so well hath hym payned,
To him be the wroughten mazer alone.
Perigot is well pleased with the doome.
Ne can Willye wite the witelesse herdgroome.
Never dempt more right of beautye I weene,
The shepheard of Ida, that iudged beauties Queene.
But tell me shepheards, should it not yshend
Your roundels fresh, to heare a dolefull verse
Of Rosalend (who knowes not Rosalend?)
That Colin made, ylke can I you rehearse.
Now say it Cuddie, as thou art a ladde:
With mery thing its good to medle sadde.
Fayth of my soule, thou shalt ycrouned be
In Colins stede, if thou this song areede:
For neuer thing on earth so pleaseth me,
As him to heare, or matter of his deede.
Then listneth ech vnto my heauy laye,
And tune your pypes as ruthful, as ye may.

YE wastefull woodes beare witnesse of my woe,
Wherein my plaints did oftentimes resound:
Ye carelesse byrds are priuie to my cryes,
Which in your songs were wont to make a part:
Thou pleasaunt spring hast luld me oft a sleepe,
Whose streames my trickling teares did ofte augment.
Resort of people doth my greefs augment,
The walled townes do worke my greater woe:
The forest wide is fitter to resound
The hollow Echo of my carefull cryes,
I hate the house, since thence my loue did part,
Whose waylefull want debarres myne eyes from sleepe.
Let stremes of teares supply the place of sleepe:
Let all that sweete is, voyd: and all that may augment
My doole, drawe neare. More meete to wayle my woe,
Bene the wild woddes my sorrowes to resound,
Then bedde, or bowre, both which I fill with cryes,
When I them see so waist, and fynd no part
Of pleasure past. Here will I dwell apart
In gastful groue therefore, till my last sleepe
Doe close mine eyes: so shall I not augment
With sight of such a chaunge my recklesse woe:
Helpe me, ye banefull byrds, whose shrieking sound
Ys signe of dreery death, my deadly cryes
Most ruthfully to tune. And as my cryes
(Which of my woe cannot bewray least part)
You heare all night, when nature craueth sleepe,
Increase, so let your yrksome yells augment.
Thus all the night in plaints, the daye in woe
I vowed haue to wayst, till safe and sound
She home returne, whose voyces siluer sound
To cheerefull songs can chaunge my cherelesse cryes.
Hence with the Nightingale will I take part,
That blessed byrd, that spends her time of sleepe
In songs and plaintiue pleas, the more taugment
The memory of hys misdeede, that bred her woe:
And you that feele no woe, | when as the sound
Of these my nightly cryes | ye heare apart,
Let breake your sounder sleepe | and pitie augment.

O Colin, Colin, the shepheards ioye,
How I admire ech turning of thy verse:
And Cuddie, fresh Cuddie, the liefest boye,
How dolefully his doole thou didst rehearse.
Then blowe your pypes shepheards, til you be at home:
The night nigheth fast, yts time to be gone.
Perigot his Embleme.

Vincenti gloria victi.

Willyes Embleme.

Vinto non vitto.

Cuddies Embleme.

 Felice chi puo.

Bestadde) disposed, ordered.

Peregall) equall.

Whilome) once.

Rafte) bereft, depriued.

Miswent) gon astraye

Ill may) according to Virgile. In felix o semper ouis pecus.

A mazer) So also do Theocritus and Virgile feigne pledges of their strife.

Enchased) engrauen. Such pretie descriptions euery where vseth Theocritus, to bring in his Idyllia. For which speciall cause indede he by that name termeth his Æglogues: for Idyllion in Greke signifieth the shape or picture of any thing, whereof his booke is ful. And not, as I haue heard some fondly guesse, that they be called not Idyllia, but Haedilia, of the Goteherds in them.

Entrailed) wrought betwene.

Haruest Queene) The manner of country folke in haruest tyme.

Pousse.) Pease.

It fell vpon) Perigot maketh hys song in prayse of his loue, to whom Willy answereth euery vnder verse. By Perigot who is meant, I can not vprightly say: but if it be, who is supposed, his love deserueth no lesse prayse, then he giueth her.

Greete) weeping and complaint.

Chaplet) a kind of Garlond lyke a crowne.

Leuen) Lightning.

Cynthia) was sayd to be the Moone.

Gryde) perced.

But if) not vnlesse.

Squint eye) partiall iudgement.

Ech haue) so saith Virgile. Et vitula tu dignus, et hic &c. So by enterchaunge of gyfts Cuddie pleaseth both partes.

Doome) iudgement.

Dempt) for deemed, iudged.

Wite the witelesse) blame the blamelesse.

The shapherd of Ida) was sayd to be Paris.

Beauties Queene) Venus, to whome Paris adiudged the golden Apple, as the pryce of her beautie.

The meaning hereof is very ambiguous: for Perigot by his poesie claiming the conquest, & Willye not yeelding, Cuddie the arbiter of theyr cause, and Patron of his own, semeth to chalenge it, as his dew, saying, that he, is happy which can, so abruply ending but hee meaneth eyther him, that can win the beste, or moderate him selfe being best, and leaue of with the best.

Go on to September.

Who does she think she is, that girl has tangled with
The wrong man! No one says no to Gaston

Heh heh. Darn right

Dismissed! Rejected, publicly humiliated
Why, it's more than I can bear

More beer

What for? Nothing helps,I'm disgraced

Who, you, never Gaston, you've got to pull yourself together

Gosh it disturbs me to see you, Gaston
Looking so down in the dumps
Every guy here'd love to be you, Gaston
Even when taking your lumps
There's no man in town as admired as you
You're everyone's favorite guy
Everyone's awed and inspired by you
And it's not very hard to see why

No one's slick as Gaston
No one's quick as Gaston
No one's neck's as incredibly thick as Gaston
For there's no man in town half as manly
Perfect, a pure paragon
You can ask any Tom, Dick or Stanley
And they'll tell you whose team they prefer to be on

No one's been like Gaston
A king pin like Gaston
No one's got a swell cleft in his chin like Gaston
As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating
My, what a guy, that Gaston

Give five hurrahs
Give twelve hip-hips
Gaston is the best
And the rest is all drips

No one fights like Gaston
Douses lights like Gaston
In a wrestling match nobody bites like Gaston
For there's no one as burly and brawny
As you see I've got biceps to spare
Not a bit of him's scraggly or scrawny
That's right
And every last inch of me's covered with hair

No one hits like Gaston
Matches wits like Gaston
In a spitting match nobody spits like Gaston
I'm especially good at expectorating (Ptooey)
Ten points for Gaston!

When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs
Every morning to help me get large
And now that I'm grown I eat five dozen eggs
So I'm roughly the size of a barge

No one shoots like Gaston
Makes those beauts like Gaston
Then goes tromping around wearing boots like Gaston
I use antlers in all of my decorating
Say it again
Who's a man among men
And then say it once more
Who's the hero next door
Who's a super success
Don't you know? Can't you guess?
Ask his fans and his five hangers-on
There's just one guy in town who's got all of it down
And his name's G-A-S-T
G-a-s-t e
G-a-s-t-o, oh

I Love America Lyrics

Artist: Alice Cooper
Album: Dada

I love that mountain with those four big heads
I love Velveeta slapped on Wonder Bread
I love a commie... if'n he's good and dead, yup
I love America

I love Old Glory and homemade pie
I think them Ruskies should be sterilized
I love my chicken Kentucky Fried...
Finger Lickin' Good!

Hey there, this is A.B. Cooper from
Cooper's Carnival of Clean and Classic Cars
It's our Fourth of July ... sale.
Here at Cooper's Carnival of Clean and Classic Cars
At the corner of Collins and Commerce
I've got lot full of the finest funny looking cars money can buy
At prices even you can afford
So come on down and say hello to me, and granny
And bring the kids to meet my snake
I say, "bye"
Granny says, "bye"
and the snake says, "sssssssssss"

I love General Patton in World War II
My Pocket Fisherman and my Crazy Glue
I love the Beav and Wally too, yeah
I love America

I love the bomb, hot dogs and mustard
I love my girl, but I sure don't trust her
I love what the Indians did to Custer
I love America

Here they come!
There they go!

I love my jeans and I love my hair
I love a real tight skirt and a real nice pair
And on the fourth of July, I love the rockets' red glare
I love America

I watch the A-Team every Tuesday night
I graduated, but I ain't to bright
I love Detroit 'cause I was born to fight
I love America

I love the Tigers but I hate the Mets
I ride my Hog but I race my Vette
I gotta job, but hell I'm still in debt
I love America

I love my bar and I love my truck
I'd do most anything to make a buck
I love a waitress who loves to... flirt!
They're the best kind
I love America
Turn me on
Well, I gotta go now
I love America
Bye Bye, I tell you what though, I really do love it
You ain't going to catch me at no mayday rally

Hypnotize The Moon Lyrics

Artist: Clay Walker

She knew she caught my eye
And that was all it took
Ain't it strange how forever changed
With just one look

The magic filled the night
She touched my soul like no one else
Yes, the way that woman made me feel
Left me talking to my self
Oh, Oh

You better run for cover
You better hide your heart
'Cause once you start to love her
You know you'll never stop
She shines like a diamond
When she walks into a room
She can charm the stars
Hypnotize the moon

Once i held her close
I knew just where i stood
No, you never get a second chance
To ever feel so good

Then and there I knew
These words were etched in stone
If you can't feel the power of
The greatest love you've known

Here I am I'm the unrecovered one
You can talk to me if you want to if you want to
You can shun me.

I stumble through the streets with my pride and my arrogance
I spit right in your face when you invite me to dance
I go months and years at a time terminally unique
With my pills and my bottle of wine
I am very very very very very very very very weak.

I can't get out of bed the hangover's got my head
So I forgot to take the garbage out and put the kid to bed
We're all wandering around in my house
Like the night of the living dead
I'm someone that you can look at and be glad
You're not me instead.

Underneath your sobriety and your piety and your quiet
There's a human being there who's got a spirit and has to
Learn how to fly it.

The controls are on the panel
And the manual's in the flotation device. But if it comes to
Using that you've already crashed through thin ice.

I'm not saying I'm better than you I feel like you're saying
You're better than me
You say "Tough luck I sobered up and now I'm running the
Your Higher Power he's like my God he'll take you out in a
Flash you'll see
And do the same for all your loved ones and the ones like me
You pity.

Harry Connick, Jr. – Heart Beyond Repair lyrics

Pieces of a hole
Unrequited, not renowned
Never sought and never found
Through blood
Through soul

Now unfamiliar
Feelings of good being
Are light that's not worth seeing
Through blood
Through soul

Restless and distorted
Thoughts that underscore my night
Being wrong and seeing right
Through blood
Through soul

Heart beyond repair
All the edges worn and frayed
Magnifying love betrayed
Through blood
Through soul

Luis Fonsi – Save Me lyrics

My whole life
I never had love come true
But then you came a long, long way
You came and rescued me
You showed my heart
Things it's never ever seen
And now I believe

Only you can save me
Cause I'm falling now
I was lost till I found you
Only you can hear me
When I'm crying out
My whole world depends on you
Heaven must be missing an angel
Cause your right here with me
Oh baby, can't you see my life's complete
And that's why I believe
That only you can save me

Love's so sweet
And that's all that you're giving to me
I don't want to search no more
You're all that I adore
You and me made love like it was meant to be
And now I believe

I know
That you'll see
There's just no other place that I would ever wanna be
As long as your right here next to me
And angel
You know, we should be
Here making precious memories for an eternity
And you should've know that
Nothing else matters
To me without you
So save me

Surprises and Counterexamples in Real Function Theory

A. R. Rajwade and A. K. Bhandari
Hindustan Book Agency
Publication Date:
Number of Pages:
Texts and Readings in Mathematics 42
[Reviewed by
Kenneth A. Ross
, on

The preface of the book describes the book very well. After the following excerpts, I will add my own observations.

Our aim in this book is to consider a variety of intriguing, surprising, and appealing topics, and non-routine proofs of the usual results of real function theory. The reader is expected to have done a first course in real analysis (or advanced calculus), since the book assumes knowledge of continuity and differentiability of functions, Rolle’s theorem, the mean value theorem, Taylor expansion and Riemann integration. However, no sophisticated knowledge of analysis is required…

This book contains a number of surprising and unexpected results. It is meant to be a reference book and is expected to be a book to which one turns for finding answers to curiosities which one comes across while studying or teaching elementary analysis. For example: We know that continuous functions defined on an interval satisfy the intermediate value property. Are there functions which are not continuous but have this property in every interval? If a one-to-one function is continuous at a point, is its inverse also continuous at the image of that point? Most would believe that there is a tangent to the graph of a function if and only if the function is differentiable at the point, but a counter-example is given. Where does one find easily accessible details of everywhere continuous, nowhere differentiable functions? (Chapter 3)

In addition to standard topics, a few of which are mentioned above, many extra topics are presented in detail, including periodic functions, the Mean Value Theorem, inflection points, harmonic series, and Schwarz differentiability (in an appendix). Not much is overlooked, but I would have liked a section on upper and lower semi-continuous functions.

This fine book contains classical concrete treatments. The authors are clearly fearless analysts, who don’t shun technical details. American students might find the going tough, though the exposition is careful and detailed.

Some American readers may find the treatments old-fashioned. Modern ideas are avoided. For example, Chapter 3 is devoted to constructing continuous non-differentiable functions, but there’s no mention that “most” continuous functions are non-differentiable thanks to the Baire Category Theorem.

The text is very clean; I found about five misprints. The index is surprisingly short and incomplete, considering the careful preparation of the rest of the book. I am impressed with the extremely complete set of references. So far as I can tell, they are all referred to in sufficient detail to make the text historically very interesting. Every relevant reference that came to my mind was already there! It should be noted that, except for two books, all 118 references were published prior to 1991.

Teachers of the theory of calculus will benefit by having this book on their shelves; I wish I’d had it available when I was teaching. See also the book Strange Functions in Real Analysis by A. B. Kharazishvili.

Kenneth A. Ross ( taught at the University of Oregon from 1965 to 2000. His research area of interest was commutative harmonic analysis, especially where it has a probabilistic flavor.

  • Introduction to the real line $R$ and some of its subsets
  • Functions: Pathological, peculiar and extraordinary
  • Famous everywhere continuous, nowhere differentiable functions: van der Waerden's and others
  • Functions: Continuous, periodic, locally recurrent and others
  • The derivative and higher derivatives
  • Sequences, harmonic series, alternating series and related result
  • The infinite exponential $x\thinsp x\thinsp x\thinsp :\thinsp :\thinsp :$ and related results
  • A.1. Stirling's formula and the trapezoidal rule
  • A.2. Schwarz differentiability
  • A.3. Cauchy's functional equation $f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y)$

The browser bunch

Page 2 of 2

Which browser is right for you?

If you’re looking for an all-around browser, you can’t go wrong with programs like Safari and OmniWeb. But for certain tasks, you may be better served by a browser that’s more specialized.

Blogging and Social Networking: Flock If you spend tons of time writing blog entries and using sites like Facebook, Flickr, and Twitter, you’ll appreciate Flock’s convenient integration with these and many other tools. For instance, you can scan your friends’ Facebook updates, see who has commented on your latest Flickr photoset, or submit a blog posting without having to visit the site.

Tinkering: Firefox When it comes to customizability—from tweaking the browser’s look-and-feel to adding brand-new capabilities—Firefox is tops. With hundreds of extensions to choose from, you can add everything from Web development tools to fun games like the Quiz Addicts’ Toolbar, which displays an ongoing series of trivia questions.

Research: DevonAgent Several browsers offer customizable search engines, but not one comes close to the level of detail offered by DevonAgent. When you need to scour every last corner of the Web for research or for some obscure piece of information, this is the best tool for the job.

Cross-Platform Browsing: Opera Sure, Firefox is available in Mac, Linux, and Windows versions, but Opera will also run on obscure systems like OS/2 and BeOS, and even comes in mobile versions for smart phones such as the Treo and BlackBerry. If you want consistent browsing across all your devices, try Opera.

Default SilverStone Grandia Series GD08 HTPC Case

Building a home theater PC? You might want to check out this review of the SilverStone Grandia Series GD08. The crew at Think Computers gave it very high marks. The thing is no one wants an ugly tower sitting next to their TV stand. For this reason the HTPC case was created. SilverStone's Grandia Series is their line of mainstream HTPC cases and today we are taking a look at the Grandia Series GD08. The GD08 features support for motherboards up to extended ATX, room for up to 12 hard drives, USB 3.0 support and a sleek brushed aluminum front bezel.

A satisfied customer is a pat on the back for an outstanding customer service we all work hard for. Happy clients contribute to our company’s bottom-line and there is no doubt that they will continue buying from us.

Here are a few strategies we can apply in our current environment:

Be consistent. Every time we perform well, customers will obviously come back again and again. Businesses should set a high standard from the beginning and consistently strive to attain it. Same goes with customer service. If the agents are from an outsourced inbound call center, they have to adhere to the same standards set for your internal employees.

Listen and don’t pass around. Customers reach out to us because they have complaints. These may either be valid or trivial. Make your customers feel they are vital to your growth by listening to their issues and solving them as quickly as possible. Do not pass their call from one agent to another. This only aggravates their irritation. If this happens, give the customer an assurance that you are top of the situation and will be looking for the solution immediately.

Avoid making promises. There is nothing more annoying than a promise not fulfilled. Remember this cardinal rule: Do only what you can deliver. You keep the customers happy by providing them what is achievable from your end.

Keep an open communication. Technology should be to your advantage, not a logistical nightmare.

If your business has a web site, make sure you have a Contact Us form that is frequently monitored by one of your staff. As much as possible, you stay away from voicemail. Studies show that 79% of customers will not leave their message on voicemail especially if they are placing an order for a product or service. This is the reason why we have 24/7 call center support.

Our customers are our reason why we are in business. Our policies should encompass every customer touch point. Both our internal staff and the outsourced team should have a clear understanding of our customer service guidelines. We  have to be on the same page in making our customers happy.

Reverse Engineering Services

Magellan Solutions specializes in reverse engineering service, using laser scanning to turn scanned data into a model that represents a built shape. Our requisite knowledge, an expert team and technological advantage gives us an edge over our competitors. Delivering customized reverse engineering solutions as per our client’s specific requirements has helped us emerge as one of the renowned leaders in reversing engineering services.

In this day and age, there are plenty of items out there that may need some kind of replacement or need to be dissected and studied to be replicated. This is primarily because today, most products become phased out in a matter of months or several years. With that, even if the products are still working fine and may just need a little part replacement, people choose to discard them because there are no more available spare parts as the item is not in production anymore. This is where reverse engineering services at Magellan Solutions come in.

Our Services:

Dimension Measurement

Surface Analysis

3D Laser Scanning

Digitizing Services

CMM Inspection and analysis

Manufacturing Drawings

Product Redesigning

3D Digital Modeling

How does reverse engineering using 3D data work?

When you outsource these services to Magellan Solutions Outsourcing, you can be sure that what you need to be done will be accomplished. The professionals working out the details would be going through the whole item and seeing and discovering just what comprises it.

Instead of creating it or engineering it from nothing, these people work with one item and do the reverse – they try to see how it has been put together. This is a wonder and something that is slowly gaining popularity nowadays especially with 3D printing now easily available for anyone. Many industries need to invest in this one because there are tools or items that may need replacement of some parts and yet these parts are not available in the market. Reverse engineering will help them recreate that item.

What are the benefits of reverse engineering services?

Choosing to outsource this type of task would help your business have lesser expenses. This is primarily because you would not have to spend too much on purchasing new parts that will be used to replace any worn out parts in your production. Also, if there are any deformations that could have happened to your machinery, this work would be able to help you analyze why it is happening and what could be done to prevent such. You would not have to spend too much time recreating the whole thing from scratch and thus you would have more time on your hands to focus on other important jobs that need to be done.

How does this happen?

By simply contacting Magellan Solutions, you can easily get answers to your inquiries regarding the details of outsourcing. And as soon as you have agreed to the terms, conditions and pricing, Magellan Solutions can start setting up your account so that the work can already begin as soon as possible. The team that will be doing reverse engineering services for you have already been trained and are professionals. They know how to handle things and they are more than willing to start working on any project that you would be sending their way. You can provide them with reverse engineering samples if you wish to. Or you can also send reverse engineering software that you would like them to use. Of course, if you do not have such, the company already has software already in their systems and you can go over them and see if these would be applicable to the job that they would be doing.

A Call for Courage

When we Americans celebrate the Fourth of July, what word comes readily to mind? Freedom -- and rightly so. But you can't have freedom without other virtues.

Consider one that's particularly appropriate as we mark the signing of the Declaration of Independence: courage. Two stories illustrate it well.

The first happens in October 1986. President Reagan is in Iceland, meeting with Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev to broker an arms-control agreement that will end the dangerous standoff of "mutually assured destruction." After days of talks, as a deal seems close, Gorbachev smiles at Reagan and says, "This all depends, of course, on you giving up SDI" (the Strategic Defense Initiative, missile defense).

"I couldn't believe it," Regan later recalled. "I blew my top.... I realized that he had brought me to Iceland with one purpose: to kill the Strategic Defense Initiative." What Reagan does next will stun the world. He turns to Secretary of State George Shultz and says, "The meeting is over. Let's go, George, we're leaving." And he walks out.

How easy it would have been for Reagan to acquiesce. He would have been praised far and wide for whatever deal resulted. But he didn't. He stood up for what was right. Just a few years later, the Soviet Union collapsed -- an event that Reagan's courage helped make possible.

Now leave Iceland in 1986 and go back to Dec. 1, 1955. We're in Montgomery, Ala. It's rush hour. Buses are carrying workers home. On one bus all the seats are filled, including the front 10 seats, which are reserved for white passengers.

The bus stops, and four white men get aboard. The driver calls out to the four black passengers sitting just behind the white section: "Get up. Let the white men have those seats." Three get up. But the fourth refuses.

Rosa Parks is defying the unwritten code of racial subservience. She is also defying Alabama law. The driver summons the police. They arrest Mrs. Parks and take her to jail.

Viewed from one perspective, Ronald Reagan and Rosa Parks couldn't have been more different. He was the most powerful person in the world, commander in chief of the armed forces of the United States. She was one of the least powerful, an unknown black seamstress working in the back room of a department store in the deep South.

But in a more fundamental sense, they couldn't have been more alike. All the political power on earth couldn't have moved Reagan to do the wrong thing. And all the indignity and intimidation of racism couldn't dissuade Rosa Parks from doing the right thing.

Courage made Reagan get up and leave. It also kept Parks in her seat. And in those seemingly simple acts, each began building a bridge that would deliver millions of oppressed people to their God-given birthright of freedom and dignity -- in Reagan's case, citizens of Central and Eastern Europe, and in Parks' case, citizens of the United States.

That's who we are. We are a people with the courage to do the right thing. You can read those stories and others like them in The American Spirit: Celebrating the Virtues and Values that Make Us Great, a book I just wrote with Heritage Trustee Brian Tracy to explore the breadth and depth of what it means to be an American.

It's a timely reminder. Since 2008, liberals have run hog-wild with policies that undermine the American spirit. They are crippling free enterprise with layers of new and excessive regulations. They are amassing ruinous public debt that will burden the next generations of Americans.

It will take old-fashioned virtues to change this. It will also require the fighting spirit that is an integral part of the American character.

So this Fourth of July, let's rededicate ourselves to the virtue that helped make our freedom possible: courage -- and use it to restore our greatness.

Review of the Crystal Palace Breakfast at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom

Review of the Crystal Palace Breakfast at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom

It had been a good few years since I last did the Crystal Palace character breakfast, long before I had kids. On our 18-night free dining plan trip it was somewhere I thought our girls would enjoy, so I made an ADR for 8:10am. That was the first ADR available when I booked and an excellent time to book a character meal for in the Magic Kingdom. Providing it’s not an Extra Magic Hour morning, you get to enter the park before regular guests. This means you can get some wonderful photos on a relatively uncrowded Main St., U.S.A. By the time you’ve finished breakfast it won’t be long after park opening so you’ll be one of the first on the rides.

For those who don’t know, The Crystal Palace is located as you turn left at the top of Main St., past Casey’s Corner, the restrooms & Baby Care Center. It’s modeled after the Crystal Palace in Hyde Park, London, England, which was built in 1851 to house the Great Exhibition.

It’s a very popular location, so booking as near to the 180 day ADR mark is strongly recommended. You also need to be prepared to wait once you arrive, as it can take a while to get seated. As we’d been busy taking photos on Main St. we didn’t arrive before our ADR time and so had to wait behind those who had arrived early.

Just inside the beautiful glass building, you’ll find some familiar faces.

The restaurant is split into two halves.

The buffet area is in the center, with two sides, each serving the same offerings.

Our server came to take our drinks order soon after we were seated, then we managed to go and get some food before the characters came to our table.

There was a great choice on offer, including some very yummy chocolate Mickey waffles!

Menu items can change, but may include:

Seasonal Fresh Fruit
Freshly Baked Pastries
Breakfast meats
Smoked Salmon
Corned Beef Hash
Scrambled Eggs
Puffed French Toast
Oven-Roasted Potatoes
Potato casserole
Pooh’s peach casserole
Breakfast Pizza
Mickey Waffles
Biscuits and gravy

The characters visit both rooms, so it can take a while for them to make their way around, but you’re visited by Pooh, Tigger and Eeyore. Every so often they join together for a parade around the dining room, which kids are encouraged to join.

As they’ve so many people to see they don’t spend a lot of time at each table, but were happy to sign autographs and pose for a photo.

Some people aren’t keen on this breakfast as it’s so busy and there’s not a lot of character time, but out of all of the ones we’ve done, this is one of my favorites. There’s a good selection of food on offer and I didn’t feel the characters were as rushed as they were at Donald’s Safari Breakfast. Lunch and dinner are also character meals at the Crystal Palace.
