Ithaca Found? A Diversion for Fans of Homer

Here is the Link Here is a map, the story above postulates (convincingly) that the peninsula of Paliki below was onc
Version Diversion
2008-05-23 00:43:00 I don't understand why Grime has pretty much abandoned the version excursion.I am saying abandoned like there are loads; the only major ones by my recollection are: Pum Pum Riddim, Backwards Riddim, No Bass, Battle Riddim, Zumpi Hunter, Ghetto Kyote, Straights and most recently Stageshow Riddim. One of the most memorable is Wiley's Ice Rink which GrimeTapes.Com has brought back to life with this set. Download HERE Where Wiley Premiers 12 versions including Kanos, Tinchy Stryders & Dizzee Rascals.I would of thought the version track (as long as the beats good) works for both producer and MC. The producer quickly gets a beat familiar and gets every other DJ calling them for the tune. It is a fast way to blow a tune, and as long as it is out quickly it can sell whatever vinyl sells these days and it will be on every phone and Ipod within the land. It is a good look for hype around a producers name. A stand out version is enough to push a strong product. Skitz Beatz pushed his f...

Rethink your sense of diversion
2008-05-14 00:51:00 As you think, if you view a thought as positive, you are less likely to question it. You permit it to flow what appears a natural course. Yet, when it comes to thought you view as negative, your emotions balk to cloud the issue. You may sense its beneath you. You may feel ashamed, ignore it, deny it or hope to send it back to the Source. But, why?Fear. The thing is, you can't restrain energy. You may think you can divert it, but that's not your job. Its safe to express thoughts as they flow, even aggression. Issues arise as you block and repress energy for long periods. You see, but you don't choose to see.Consider a flowing river. If you dam it up and water continues to flow from the origin, then the dam will eventually burst. This can also be said of blocked energy. Does your conscious mind override your body's messages? What are you diverting or hiding from?Whenever we don't accept all our...

Syria Nuclear Story a Diversion
2008-04-25 19:08:00 Informed Comment The US and Israel accused Syria on Thursday of building a secret nuclear reactor with North Korean help. There was a lot of innuendo in the press that the reactor was intended for nuclear weapons production. But AFP notes: 'They said US intelligence had "high confidence" that the structure bombed by the Israelis was a nuclear reactor, "medium confidence" that the North Koreans were involved in building it, and "low confidence" that plutonium from it was for nuclear weapons. [..]The real question is the timing of the announcement, since the bombing happened a long time ago. It is suspicious to me that the announcement was made just after a spy for Israel was arrested in the US who had stolen US nuclear secrets. Is it diversionary? Syria expert Josh Landis discusses a different theory of diversion, having to do with revelations that Syria and Israel are closer to an agreement on the future of the Golan Heights. I'd add that former president Jimmy Carter's rece...

MOO’S ONLINE EASTER EGG HUNT A FUN DIVERSION, BRILLIANT VIRAL MARKETI
2008-03-06 23:52:00 Viral marketing be damned, sometimes time spent searching the depths of the internet for small, tucked away items can be fun. Especially when you're awarded from your efforts. Web printing company Moo is running its own Easter egg scavenger hunt in conjunction with several other hip online companies like Etsy, Blurb, Ponoko, and Picnik. Users are supposed to hunt down small Easter eggs on the various services and claim them. Moo is also bundling some of the eggs in products sent to customers in the next week. Meanwhile, the company keeps track of who has found what, and awards various prizes from the partnered sites. In addition to the Easter eggs found online Moo is also venturing out into the real world (which it calls the "great outdoors") starting on Saturday. Real world eggs will be placed around cities with special codes people can claim, and hints are provided in the form of poems on Moo's blog (complete with rhyming couplets). I've seen a lot of viral campaigns in my...

Told you so! PKFZ is just another strategic diversion!
2007-10-19 13:50:00 I know that something is quite fishy with that larger than life PAC visit to Port Klang Free Zone yesterday.I have voiced it in one of my posts earlier today. I?m pretty glad that MalaysiaKini even suspected it as much in one of their postings today. I?m also pretty glad that Malaysians are not that easily fooled nowadays. :-)We have so many impacting issues plaguing the nation recently:The Pantai Batu Buruk incidentThe Lingam Tape video sagaThe pathetic decline of Press Freedom in Malaysia as indicated by Reporters Without Borders Dot Org?s Press Freedom Index 2007 andThe astonishing law suit won by an ex ISA detainee against the world?s greatest government!All those significant events are giving bad PR for Barisan Nasional. Most of my foreign friends said that Malaysia is getting pretty ridiculous by the minute. Just imagine; our own country is giving shame to its very citizens! Much of it can be blamed upon Barisan Nasional though.Barisan Nasional is desperately looking for salva...
Port Klang Free Zone is back in the spotlight? Strategic diversion?
2007-10-19 04:00:00 Folks!I?m sure you noticed that both MalaysiaKini and StarOnline had juicy stories on Port Klang Free Zone yesterday. Well, not exactly juicy since we all ready knew that the multi billion dollar project is having lots of critical problems at the moment.There is nothing new really except for the fact that the Public Accounts Committee is now expecting to hear the final word from the Port Klang Authority and Port Klang Fee Zone on the final cost of the project which reportedly has ballooned to extraordinary proportions.I find it weird. Why all of a sudden we have this Port Klang Free Zone story back into the spotlight?I?m not buying it folks.I got this feeling that the powers that be have just created a clever strategic diversion to divert the Malaysian public?s attention from more pressing issues such as the Lingam Tape saga.No thanks, Barisan Nasional. I would stick with the Lingam Tape saga for the time being. If we can find out what is really going on behind the Lingam Tape saga,...
Tactical Diversion: The Mukasey Pick and the March to Iran
2007-09-19 13:43:00 by Chris Floyd The nomination of Judge Michael Mukasey as attorney general has drawn widespread support. Even among determined foes of the Bush Regime, the choice is seen as a good move; they say that while Mukasey is, to be sure, an arch-conservative, he is also dedicated to the notion of putting the law above political partisanship. Others have lauded what they see as a political defeat for Bush; having floated the idea of appointing raw partisan apparatchiks like Ted Olson or Michael Chertoff, Bush has been forced to seek a "consensus" candidate, not a political hatchetman. I know nothing about Mukasey beyond what I've read about him in the newspaper stories and in pieces by bloggers with legal experience such as Glenn Greenwald and Scott Horton. Mukasey may well be a decent man who will restore sanity and the rule of law to the corrupt Justice Department of Bush factotum Alberto Gonzales, as many think. One can only hope so. But given the history of ...
MoveOn Ad Controversy=Right-Wing Diversion
2007-09-12 17:29:00 The question of the propriety of the "Petraeus or Betray Us" MoveOn.org ad is a red herring for the Republican attack machine in what seems to be these days a campaign against an enemy more dangerous to Republicans than al Qaeda - - the Democratic party. General Petraeus is a career military man who understands what he must say on behalf of the Commander in Chief, lest he lose his career.

Bush Tucker: The Fatal Diversions of Would-Be Dissidents
2007-09-02 02:48:00 by Chris Floyd The ever-intrepid Arthur Silber has somehow procured an advance copy of General Petraeus' upcoming report on the "surge." You can check out this amazing feat of investigative journalism here: Conundrum. Silber has also identified the greatest threat to the life of the Republic — nay, to human civilization itself — that we face today: Tucker Carlson's pathetic fantasies about gay-bashing. (Yes, fantasy; I would bet $10 million of Dick Cheney's money that the little bow-tied twerp never went back to that bathroom — even with a big burly friend at his side — to confront anyone. He just thinks that's what a "real man" would do.) As Arthur points out, although the United States stands on the brink of another war of aggression whose evil consequences would far surpass those of the monstrous debacle in Iraq, it is Tucker Carlson's nasty aside that has commanded the passionate attention of the "progressive" world, which demands imm...

Discoteca Xque: Cuando la hipocresia vence a la diversion
2007-08-01 21:10:00 No ando de muy buen humor hoy, y misteriosamente me ha venido a la mente el ultima dia que salà de fiesta, fue el dia 21 de este mes que dejamos. Me he puesto melancolico. ¿Por que? Lo explicaré a continuacion:La discoteca "Xque?" de Calella de Palafrugell siempre fue un sitio diferente al resto. Tuvo la mala suerte de que abrió sus puertas alla por el año 1992 justo cuando el movimiento bakala estaba en plena decadencia. Algunos no tuvimos la mala o buena suerte de vivir esa epoca, pero eso no quita que admiremos en su justa medida un movimiento que si, hay que reconocer que hizo mucho mal a la sociedad, pero que también incluyó muchos aspectos en lo que a ocio nocturno se refiere y que ahora se siguen en practicamente todo el mundo.En sus inicios los Dj's fueron Oskar Mad y David "Pastillas"(el nombre lo dice todo), pero el primero acabo dejando paso al que formaria junto con Pastillas(seguramente el mejor Dj del mundo en cuanto a tecnica, lo que su unico error fue dedicar...

"Crook Talk" & Other Diversions
2007-05-06 03:30:00 "I handed the moll my rod and the ice, and told her to ditch it so that the pointed-toe dick couldn't give me the rap!"So says actor Monte Blue in the late 1929 Warner Bros. crook drama, "Skin Deep." Directed by Ray Enright, the six-reel talkie appears to have long since vanished, although a surviving set of Vitaphone discs for the film's foreign release version allows us some faint notion of the film's mood and pace.Based upon "Lucky Damage," a short story by Marc Edmund Jones, and first filmed by Thomas Ince for a 1922 silent version starring Milton Sills and released by First National, newspapers in May of 1929 carried an item mentioning that Warner Bros. had successfully "acquired the motion picture rights to the property as a vehicle for Monte Blue," a simple deal indeed given the association between First National and Warners at the time.In conjunction with the 1929's film release in Fresno, California, a local newspaper prepared a thumbnail biographical sketch of actor Mo...
Politics of Diversion
2007-04-15 06:23:00 "In the wake of Don Imus's racist and sexist comments," Frank Rich points out in today's Times op ed, "there's been an astounding display of hypocrisy, sanctimony and self-congratulation from all sides." I agree. I also think there has been an astounding and unconscionable display of diversionary politics exhibited by MSNBC, CNN, and other mainstream news outlets who have harped on this one story nearly 24/7 to the detriment of far more important news -- like a whole bunch of "missing" e-mails from the White House; or like Karl Rove, Dick Cheney and President Bush-it-for-Brains illegally using RNC emails to discuss the people's business; or like the rapidly escalating violence and deteriorating situation in Iraq -- to name just a few.After the press initially ignored the warnings of cooked intelligence leading up to the Iraq war, after their profuse apologies and admissions of failing the people and their journalistic obligations, after all of that -- here we are once again l...

queen of diversion
2007-04-11 13:46:00 Mornings in our house prove to be a challenge. As I hate getting up, and dear hubs is an early riser we constantly bicker over the fact that I am a notorious snoozer. The snooze button is my dealer; I am addicted. One any given day, I will hit snooze three times. THREE. TIMES. This drives Mike to the brink of insanity since the first one wakes him then he's up for the day; not to mention the fact I have it set for about a half hour before I have to get up.Since he's on course for work until mid-May he's actually getting up at the same time as me, (instead of being out the door while I pound away on my snooze button), which definitely is a cause for more conflict in the mornings. For the past week we've been feuding over my addiction which as left me to one (sometimes two) hits of the button.Today I was so sure I would try to get up at the first sound of the annoying - beeeeep, beeeeep, beeeeep, just to appease my ever-loving husband.I didn't succeed.After the first one, I tried...

La felicidad y la diversion en los chicos
2007-02-18 11:44:00 La felicidad y la diversion en los chicosEl gran anhelo de la mayoría de los padres es que los hijos sean felices. Y no hay nada de malo en ello. Lo grave es que la cultura consumista, en su esfuerzo por vendernos cuanta cosa se produce masivamente asegurándonos que nos hará felices, también nos vendió la idea de que la felicidad consiste en vivir constantemente gratificados y divertidos, libres de cualquier contrariedad, tristeza o incomodidad. Y tal parece que ésta es la clase de felicidad que los padres se esfuerzan por darles a sus hijos.Con tal propósito, la vida de los niños está cada vez más llena de actividades entretenidas para mantenerlos contentos. Ya no es suficiente mandarlos a un campo de verano o al club a que hagan deportes durante las vacaciones. Ahora, hay que tenerles otros planes para las pocas horas que les quedan libres. Tampoco basta un viaje de verano, hay que programar nuevos paseos para cuando regresen. Y a lo largo del año hay que permitirles que vivan de ...
Frank Rich on Imus: America craving diversions
2007-02-14 02:30:01 New York Times columnist Frank Rich on Imus in the Morning today came up with an interesting theory. He believes the reason why Americans are so fascinated right now with stories like Anna Nicole Smith’s death and the diaper wearing astronaut is because we are so fed up with Iraq that we’re craving something else. As a news producer this got me thinking. I worked at ABC News for a small amount of time during the whole Natalee Holloway craziness. I worked the war in Iraq beat and I was astonished at the amount of money and resources the network dedicated to the missing teen. But of course the resources didn’t come until market studies showed the higher ups that Americans craved the coverage. And now we see it with Anna Nicole Smith. (more…)
