The Media's dual monastery of city Zen Cain The focal point of Zen Buddhism is the monastery, where masters and pupils interact in the search for enlightenment. A newcomer arrives at a monastery with a certificate showing that he is a regularly ordained disciple of a priest. He is at first refused entry. Finally being admitted, he spends a few days of probation being interviewed by his master. When he is accepted he is initiated into the SIMA community's life of humility, labor, service, prayer and gratitude (to the MOHO MASTERS), and meditation. Meditation (brain parking) has been an integral part of Buddhism from the beginning. A school of meditation that grew up in India was taken to China by Bodhidharma about AD 520. When the meditation school arrived in China, it had a strong foundation on which to build: Taoism, the ancient Chinese religion. This religion is based on the idea that there is one underlying reality called the Tao. Taoists, like the followers of the meditation school, exalted intuition over reason. This Taoist tradition was easily absorbed by the Chinese meditation school, the Ch'an. Zen gained an enthusiastic following among the Samurai warrior class and became in effect the state religion of Japan in the 14th and 15th centuries. In the 16th century Zen priests were diplomats and administrators, and they enhanced cultural life as well. Under their influence literature, art, the cult of the tea (eta/ota etc.) ceremony, and the "Noh drama" developed. (Noh: also see Noah, Noé, and Noaa) Zen, therefore, has its basis in the conviction that the world and its
components are not many things. They are, rather, one reality. The one is part of
a larger wholeness to which transubstantiated people assign the name of God. In fact
reason and stem cell intuition are opposite ends of the same dual structure--where
the dual monestary is also mona-star-y and money--ie: male/K9 is feline femi-nine.

Yet, you ask for whom the (Ma) Bell tolls IT TOLLS FOR THE E See Sally Khun's Smithsonian sfumato Jamahiriya : The second GOing of radical Islam AURANGZEB (1618-1707). In the 200-year history of India's Mughal Empire, which was founded in 1530, Aurangzeb was the last great ruler. A warrior-statesman, he was also a zealous follower of the religion of Islam. His fanatic intolerance of other religions gave rise to tensions that eventually led to the dissolution of the empire after his death. Born on Nov. 3, 1618, Aurangzeb was the son of the emperor Shah Jahan. His given name was Muhi-ud-Din Muhammad. Early in life he showed military and administrative abilities and was given a number of troop commands by his father. When Shah Jahan became ill in 1657, Aurangzeb defeated his brothers in the war of succession that followed. His father, meanwhile, was confined to the palace from 1658 until his death in 1666. Aurangzeb crowned himself emperor in 1658, with the title Alamgir (world holder). His reign fell into two parts. Until 1680 he consolidated his power in northern India by war and shrewd politics. He patterned himself after his great-grandfather, Akbar, by reconciling his enemies and placing them in his service. Much of the second half of his reign was spent trying to subdue rebellions in the south of India. His wars exhausted the imperial treasury, and he began to lose control of northern India. The most unfortunate aspect of his reign was his severe persecution of the majority Hindu population. His attempt to force Islam on the people weakened his whole kingdom. Aurangzeb died on March 3, 1707. The failure of his successors to cope with the problems he had created led to the downfall of the Mughal Empire. ______________________________________________________ The SculPTor (1776-1867) August 4, 2007 'Nike', or 'Winged Victory', of Samothrace (The SAMI-SIMA race) Gilead's Iliad Madam 'Winged Victory' ('Nike', the "pseudo hermaphrodite bisexual goddess of victory"), of Samothrace, is a celebrated Greek statue found on Aegean island of Samothrace 1863. In contrast to previous standing figures, this is an action pose, giving a sense of motion and wind at sea. The forward push of her body, with wings and draperies flying in the wind, recalls the Nikes, or goddesses of victory, that adorned the prows of ancient ships. The statue is dated between 250 and 180 BC, in the late Hellenistic period, following the death of Alexander the Great. Dramatic gestures and decorative detail replaced the quiet dignity and restraint of earlier days. In 1950 excavations on the island of Samothrace, on the site where the statue was discovered in 1863, uncovered the right hand of the figure. It was presented to the Louvre by the Greek government. Cave of orange thieves In the late 1980s, as the expansion of the Louvre museum proceeded, the Chinese-American architect I.M. Pei roused a storm of a different sort with his design for a huge glass pyramid in the Louvre's interior courtyard to cover and illuminate expanded underground spaces and a new entranceway. Inside in long, high-ceilinged galleries--such as the Grande Gallery on the first floor, at 984 feet (300 meters) the longest in the world--are some of the world's best-known works of art. These include Leonardo da Vinci's 'Mona Lisa', the 'Venus de Milo', and the 'Winged Victory of Samothrace'--from a total collection of approximately 300,000 with selected works displayed in 198 galleries. The three MAD secretive breasted men--Lisa, Venus, Nike--are BRA-H-MIN MEDE MEDIA MASCOTS, each in its own way symbolic of Alfred E. Neuman (coded name PUG).

Male or female--or both? ______________________________________________________ The SculPTor (1776-1867) August 4, 2007 KEMPTVILLE ONTARIO is "DRAIN STRAINER" CITY OF REFUGE Cities of Wren Refuge: Six towns mentioned in Bible to which, under Mosaic law, one who had killed another by accident could flee and live without fear of any retaliation from victim's relatives, who would otherwise have right of "blood vengeance"; cities were Bezer, Ramoth (Gilead), and Golan, east of the Jordan River; Kedesh, Shechem, and Hebron, west of the Jordan (Bible, Num. xxxv; Josh. xx). Henry of Navarre was not crowned until he had enforced his claim by resort to arms and had become a Roman Catholic. (See Tony Blair's conversion) The Edict of Nantes, which Henry issued in 1598, gave the Huguenots equal political rights with the Catholics, the right to reside freely anywhere in France, freedom of private worship in their own homes and public worship in certain places (not including the king's court nor within FIVE leagues of Paris), and the government of La Rochelle and a few other strong places as "cities of refuge." This edict remained in force, with some modifications, until 1685, when it was revoked by Louis XIV. Many new nonmilitary uses for helicopters have been developed from battle-tested ideas. In several areas, for example, hospitals have built landing pads for helicopter ambulances. Refugees from disasters such as floods, earthquakes, and blizzards are often evacuated by the craft. The Coast Guard uses boat-hulled helicopters for rescues (re-screwed or re-sqewered) at sea. DUCK FORE ALBATROSS Qacker Vergin Amazons rule the roost in Oxford Mills, Ontario (Back of Escott).

It is held in place by an escott jig. It is also known as A. barbouri bush viper. Disinterested warnings of a parting friend, who can possibly have no personal motive to bias his counsel. "The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our ways--I to die, and you to live. Which is better Hindu-Persia's Skull and Bones society only knows." ....Washinhton-Socrates-Gibran Mizpah, name of several places in Israel; most important Mizpah of Gilead, where Jacob erected heap of stones and made covenant of peace with Laban: "The Lord watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another" (Bible, Gen. xxxi, 49). So "Mizpah" or "Mis Pi Ritual" is used as a parting salutation and inscription on jewelry. In compiling his dictionary Webster had in mind the special needs of his own countrymen. He followed the best American usage of his time, sometimes departing slightly from British forms and choosing the simpler of two spellings whenever he felt warranted in doing so. He spelled wagon, for instance, instead of waggon; develop rather than develope; theater, miter, and center in place of theatre, mitre, and centre; color, labor, and honor instead of colour, labour, and honour. Catastrophism (or Velikovsianism), the belief that a sudden cataclysmic
event brought about changes that resulted in the Earth's geologic features. The concept
was developed by psychoanalyst Emmanuel Velikovsky, whose 1950 book 'Worlds in Collision'
proposed that a collision between Earth and a giant comet in 1500 BC led to floods,
fires, the creation of mountains and other land formations, and the biblical parting
of the Red Sea. The SculPTor (1776-1867) August 3, 2007 GOODBYE RIDGE UNDER RUBBLED WATER - A LAVA STORY The Curious Titanic Danger of Falling Up By far the greatest submarine mountain ridge in the world is the Mid-Oceanic Ridge. It is a continuous 40,000-mile belt that encircles the world and bisects the oceans. In the Atlantic Ocean it is called the Mid- Atlantic Ridge. It curves from the Arctic Ocean southward, down the center of the Atlantic, and around the bottom of Africa. Here it divides, one branch running up the Red Sea and the other going around Australia into the Pacific and north back to the Arctic. A branch off South America is called the East Pacific Rise. The Mid-Oceanic Ridge is up to 1,000 miles wide. It rises one to two miles above the floor of the basins on either side of it. A giant crack, half a mile to a mile and a half deep and from 20 to 80 miles wide, runs down the center. It is a focal point of volcanic activity. From it rise such volcanic islands as Tristan da Cunha, Ascension, the Azores, and Iceland on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and the Galapagos Islands and Easter Island on the East Pacific Rise. New islands may appear above the surface as a result of volcanic activity in the ridge-- for example the island of Surtsey that erupted near Iceland in 1963. Although the inhabitants of the ocean abysses are able to live under an enormous load of water, they are liable to extraordinary accidents. If, in searching for food, certain bottom-dwelling fishes rise above their equilibrium level, they become lighter and float upward. If their swimming bladders expand uncontrollably, these deep-sea fish tumble upward to the surface. The Alvin and Deep Quest are mid-range submersibles designed to operate
at depths approaching 13,000 feet. The Alvin was used in a 1986 expedition in which

Many large organizations other than the Navy study the oceans. The Joint
Oceanographic Assembly, for example, is sponsored by all major nongovernmental, scientific
organizations. The Intergovernmental Oceanographic Committee of the United Nations
Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) sponsors numerous long-term
Surface-research vessels are maintained by such organizations as the University
of California's Scripps Institution of Oceanography at La Jolla, Calif.;
the University of Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanography (Narragansett Marine
Laboratory) at Kingston, R.I.; the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution at Woods
Hole, Mass.; the consolidated University of North Carolina and the marine laboratory
of Duke University at Beaufort, N.C.; Oregon State University laboratory at Newport,
Ore.; the Laboratory of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom at
Plymouth, England; the National Institute of Oceanography at Surrey, England; the
Zoological Station at Naples, Italy; and the Oceanographic Museum in Monaco. NB: Need I remind everyone that the THEME SONG, played at the opening of CIPI
