Constantine P. Cavafy: "In Despair"
2009-09-11 23:30:00 Greek poet Constantine P. Cavafy (1863-1933) is acclaimed for his poems of love and longing. The website Billie Dee's Electronic Poetry Anthology includes several of his poems translated by Rae Dalven. I particularly appreciated this one, depicting the familiar tragedy of religious guilt coming between two lovers. Which of them is pursuing an illusion? Perhaps both; or perhaps the idealized lover of our imagination, whether human or divine, is a more rewarding prize than the love of an ordinary mortal.In DespairHe has lost him completely. An-d now he is seeking-on the lips of every new loverthe lips of his beloved in the embraceof every new lover he seeks to be deludedthat he is the same lad, that it it to him he is yieldin-g.He has lost him completely, as if he had never been at all.For he wanted -- so he s...

Chicago Writer Succumbs to Twitter, Deep Despair, Shame
2009-08-12 14:24:00 I'm on Twitter now, and I could not be more ashamed and upset with myself. I hate Twitter. I hate everything about it. I hate its entire narcissistic, self-indulgent premise, as if the world needs to know what Ashton Kutcher is doing with his spare time. I hate that it is another landslide in the continual erosion of the individual's ability to express and digest nuanced, complex thoughts and ideas. I hate that it perpetuates this Internet culture of glib, shoot-from-the-hip bursts of real-time streaming thought, like a machine gun firing bulls*%#. (And yes, I'm well aware that blogging isn't exactly running a great track record on shedding the Light of Knowledge into the world's most ignorant corridors, making...

Need capital to start your business? Don’t despair, there may be a so
2009-05-19 15:19:00 There are a lot of solutions for funding a business beyond dipping into your own personal savings and acquiring venture capital which can not only be difficult but also compromise the amount of control you retain over your enterprise. There are incubator and accelerator programs popping up all over the country.

Melandri Speaks Of His Despair On The Desmosedici
2008-04-21 16:01:00 Marco Melandri has something of a reputation for speaking out whenever he's not happy. Melandri's outburst about the weakness of the Honda RC212V, and HRC's reneging on promises of full factory support for the Gresini Honda team are still ringing in the ears of both Honda officials and journalists, and now Melandri is at it again. Melandri has posted a diary entry on his personal website speaking about the despair he feels at his current situation. "Whenever I think I've hit rock bottom, things just keep on getting worse," the Italian ex-250 champion wrote. Things are so bad that Melandri can't even bear to watch the races on TV, as the pain of seeing just how stiff and uncertain he is on the bike, the very opposite of his natural style: "I look like someone who's never ridden before," the Italian wrote. He confidence is at such a low ebb, he describes himself as being "a luxury spectator," rather than actually doing any racing, "but only at the start, for after the first tw...
Darling's of Dalal Street in Despair
2008-04-20 09:23:00 Indian investoer in the Indian equity market might as well agree with Sir John Templeton, the legendary US-born stock investor, given the current gloom that pervades Dalal Street. Before the bearish sentiment could set in, a large section of experts was busy justifying the boom in Indian equities - a boom that saw the benchmark indices earn nearly 50% returns last year. A major part of their reasoning was based on the paradigm that in India, things were different then, compared to the early '90s.However, just as in times of plenty the rise tends to be stratospheric, the fall during lean times is sharp. While many experts have come up with a number of theories regarding well-established stocks, little or no attention has been paid to the darlings of the bourses last year - initial public offers (IPOs).How have companies, which listed since the beginning of January '07, fared in the recent carnage witnessed on Dalal Street? Were they fairly priced or did they just take...

Seeds Of Hope Vs. Despair - The Words of Amber Theoharis
2008-04-03 21:36:00 For most who follow the team, it is a given the Orioles will probably finish under .500 and perhaps be in the cellar in the AL East.However, that supposedly sad fact of reality is not stopping some in the media from proclaiming great things - imagined or otherwise when it comes to the Orioles.Although the vast majority of Oriole bloggers and the national media have come to the consensus the team may be bad -- no horrible; some want to see things from a slant, or to put it blunt, with rose colored glasses.This is best of them I found - from Pressbox/MASN/WHFS's Amber Theoharis, sideline reporter, columnist & TV maven. Camden Chat found this, Roar From 34 mentioned this to me, and I read before, but I needed to read it again...(Amber Theoharis): "Trembley can?t predict what will happen -- not now, not in September.

IN THE PITT OF DESPAIR: Why is Michael Pitt making such a fuzz?
2008-02-19 00:00:00 There are stars who can act and there are those who can't. While Hayden Christensen is not an awesome actor, he has his share of critically acclaimed performances. If we're to rank the most boring young actors, it's not him or Orlando Bloom, it's this guy- Michael Pitt. (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm068-5856/) He was like a lifeless doll in Murder by Numbers (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt02-64935/). While co-star Ryan Gosling made waves onscreen and off, Pitt remains on the pit (literally). One of his more recent films, Silk (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt04-94834/), did not even register.... and he's saying some rather nasty things (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/mo-vies/a89638/michael-pitt-hits-o-ut-at-saw-fans.html?rss) of late. In an interview with Giant Magazine, Pitt said: I don’t even know what Saw or Hostel are. Are they like Texas Chainsaw Massacre? I guess I’m drawn to things like Lawrence of Arabia. The actor had harsh words for those who may not like his new fil...

Bali deal leaves greens in despair
2007-12-16 01:33:00 ?This deal is very disappointing,? said Tony Juniper, director of Friends of the Earth. ?This conference has failed to give us a clear destination.? The target backed by the EU, including the UK, was in line with the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which has warned that global temperatures could otherwise rise by 2C over the next century.On Friday, the EU conceded a compromise that simply acknowledged that ?deep cuts in global emissions will be required to achieve the ultimate objective?. Paula Dobriansky, the US under secretary of state for democracy and global affairs, initially said she could not accept it. She was roundly booed and Kevin Conrad, head of Papua New Guinea?s delegation, won mass applause when he told her and her colleague James Connaughton: ?We seek your leadership, but if you cannot lead, leave it to the rest of us. Get out of the way.? Such language is unusual at an international conference and reflected the anger that had built up ag...
Those darned kids: cause for despair and celebration, I guess
2007-12-13 00:41:00 Well, hell. This is fun. I have now received three (3) student papers that discuss Iraq’s attack on the Twin Towers on 9/11. All three papers mention it as an aside to another point. I’ve had two papers on the virtue of forgiveness that argue that if we had just forgiven Iraq for the 9/11 attacks, we wouldn’t be at war right now. I just read a paper on the problem of evil which asked why God allowed “the Iraq’s” to attack us on 9/11. The thing that upsets me most here is that the the students don’t just believe that that Iraq was behind 9/11. This is a big fact in their minds, that leaps out at them, whenever they think about the state of the world. There was a study recently that talked about the persistence of incorrect “memories” and “facts,” and I’m sure that plays into this (along with the sterling state of our educational system). So I was about to start shaking my cane at some darned kids who were on my l...

Bad Credit? Don't Despair
2007-11-05 22:59:00 Just because you have a poor credit report doesn’t mean you won’t be able to get credit. Creditors set their own credit-granting standards and not all of them look at your credit history the same way. Some may look only at more recent years to evaluate you for credit, and they may grant credit if your bill-paying history has improved. It may be worthwhile to contact creditors informally to discuss their credit standards.If you’re not disciplined enough to create a workable budget and stick to it, work out a repayment plan with your creditors, or keep track of mounting bills, consider contacting a credit counseling organization. Many credit counseling organizations are nonprofit and work with you to solve your financial problems. But not all are reputable. For example, just because an organization says it’s “nonprofit,” there’s no guarantee that its services are free, affordable, or even legitimate. In fact, some credit counseling organizations charge high fees, or hide...
Politics Of Despair
2007-11-02 23:28:00 Joan of Arc did less whining at the stake. Whether crying “depression” in the midst of a robust economy, spewing defeat into the face of progress in Iraq or fanning the flames of the recent west coast inferno, today’s Democrat hack puts General George Patton to shame. When asked about the position of the U.S. between Germany and Russia during World War II, he declared, “We should attack in both directions and wipe out all those sonofabitches while we still can”. The liberal Left in this country has gone Patton one better. They are attacking in all directions at once, not just two. They will lie, cheat and even subvert the American way of life to achieve the power they so wantonly crave. Their technique is simple and well-proven. As Hitler’s propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbles said, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” It was true then, it is true now.

20 Poems and a Song of Despair By Pablo Neruda
2007-09-25 20:30:00 Pablo Neruda, born on July 12, 1904 and die on September 23, 1973, was the penname and, later, legal name of the Chilean writer and communist politician Ricardo Eliecer NeftalĂ Reyes Basoalto.Having his works translated into dozens of languages, Pablo Neruda is considered one of the greatest and most influential poets of the 20th century. Neruda was accomplished in a wide variety of styles, ranging from erotically charged love poems (such as "White Hills"), surrealist poems, historical epics, and overtly political manifestos. Some of Neruda's most beloved poems are his "Odes to Broken Things," collected in several volumes. Colombian novelist Gabriel GarcĂa Márquez has called him "the greatest poet of the 20th century in any language". In 1971, Neruda won the Nobel Prize for Literature, a controversial award because of his political activism. ...

Despair or Hope
2007-09-23 08:21:00 by Dan Tow ?the only thing we have to fear is fear itself- Franklin Delano RooseveltI read and appreciated the many thoughtful comments to my recent article below, and I hope TPS does not object to a general response on the main page. In some comments, I sensed an undercurrent of despair, with remarks along the lines of (I'm paraphrasing, not quoting), ?sure, that?s well and good for the US, but in Pakistan the military has government in a stranglehold,? or on the other hand, ?sure, democracy is great for the US, but not enough Pakistanis have enough education to support a successful democracy, so we need government by the military elite, who are at least competent.? (Please see my remarks in my earlier article, Democracy versus Government by an Elite for remarks relevant to that last question, though.)No government has arrived at the height of perfection. All governments are instead on a journey without end, a journey that sometimes trends upward, sometimes downward. When climbing...
CNBC's Diana Olick and others on the Fed cut and the "mortgage despair cycl
2007-09-19 15:37:00 I know the housing cheerleaders are all excited, and desperate homedebtors looking to unload are all in a tizzy, but sorry, bad news. The Fed could (and might) cut to zero, but it ain't gonna help. China and hedge funds ain't gonna buy the CDO's anymore, the Fed funds rate does not set mortgage rates, the toxic mortgages are still gonna reset, foreclosures are still gonna soar, and housing is still wildly overvalued. And remember, as the stock market soars - stocks ain't houses. Mutually exclusive investment classes. Invest accordingly.Diana Olick: Since we?re all "Fed, Fed, Fed," it behooves me to weigh in on how a Fed rate cut would affect mortgage interest rates, not to mention the current mortgage despair spiral, as lenders run for cover and investors turn up their collective noses. From everything I hear, it?s not going to do much in the short term, but rather than hear it from me, I thought I?d pose the question to some of my fave experts and let you hear from them:Bil...
