Sometimes Neighborhoods make Sense

Have you ever wished that you cold live in a neighborhood that celebrated ideals that you hold dear? I have, and I wish it could happen. If I did live in a progressive neighborhood, full of street people, I would throw street parties, and have a neighborhood watch, and look for alternatives to being on the utility grids... eh... how about it?

Ideally, communities support like-minded citizens, and boost morale's. While some aspects of community do this ... it usually is accomplished by a spartan volunteer effort. I think we should throw some money at it and see how quick politicians line up to support the efforts.

This community "Hebden Bridge is on the Yorkshire side of the Pennine Hills. Not long ago, it was a small mill town producing wool and woollen goods. By the end of the sixties, the town was in bad shape. Shops were empty and blocks of terraced houses were being pulled down. ... 2010 marks 500 years of the Hebden Bridge. ... (LINK)"

"With its apparent seclusion from the rest of the world, Hebden has a tendency to breed introverts and other colourful personalities. It bucks the trend of other higher populated and trend- setting Yorkshire towns with effortless ease and style". From Deep in the Heart of Yorkshire by Alex Clark in Hackwriters dot com

EXCERPT | " ... There is a lot of evidence supporting an alien interaction with humans in ancient writings and artwork. When we take a look at some of the paintings and artwork from the religious painters of 650 to 150 or more years ago we also see a lot of evidence of an alien influence.

" ... Why would painters who are representing significant religious themes include strange flying crafts in their paintings? Why hasn’t the public in general noticed these supposed anomalies?

" ... Perhaps we can find further evidence to prove the existence of aliens in the religious artwork of the past. ... "

Part One: ADDENDED 1.08.2009: Tom Foolery and Burdens of being Clever as a Brick
by Pat Darnell

December 30: Urban Dictionary Word of the Day BricKberry -- a term for the old, outdated phone you have to use when your current phone breaks. Like this:
"It takes me ten minutes to type a TEXT message on this BricKberry now that my iPhone broke, but at least i get to play snake."

As bricks are thrown at us hourly, chronic pain is what we have most trouble with here at MooPig Studios. Some might say our pain is self-inflicted, but nights are long, and sleep comes at a premium: Pain.

For instance: Each of us has our stand alone personal computers and mobiles all loaded with different stuff, making it impossible to sort out a common "playing field" of operations. Linux, Windows, Mac, AIM, aol, yahoo, google web 2... picasa, micasa, iolo or voodoo... reader, bleeder, spammer, hammer; skype, Wii, ATT... "it is a zoo, don't pet the animals, it's a human zoo. (Pribek)"

On top of that, we have aversion factor 100% that tells anyone tampering with our status quo in our cubicle homes will be treated as a horse thief and put to death.

Recently MooPig's architectural project manager, Tom Foolery, resigned. When we searched his left behind PC desktop, we found literally "nothing, zilch, bofaddo, nada." Not even a megabyte to chew on. How dare he leave us with just a blinking cursor for evidence! You be judge: Do we follow our Psalters that wrongly turns lack of evidence into evidence of absence?

Tom Foolery's Exit Interview report also suggests that because the genetic sequence of the Benghazi Dubai strain found in some Auto/CAD PC's is different from any logged in public databases, there are grounds for suspecting foul play. "That's tosh," says MPW's TQO, Weissguy.

HR Manager, Montagonizer agrees, pointing out that "...the recumbent virus was a new nocturnal natural recombinant of a highly infectious strain common in Central and West Moldova, which has replaced most other strains in the region over the past few years."

Then we forced a read, restore, and nothing was there. It occurred to us for Tom's past five years he was just sitting there with a depressed look on his face. And we now know it was not the look of creativity, but actually depression. I suppose he did not spend six years getting his architectural license to be part of our Diderot race of blade-ing into the future of creative works on a blizzard blinded trail of artistic expression. We are failing: but we like to fail, it's artistic. See, even Cadillac's have to be re-painted periodically.

But that shows ya' how discombobulated the fraternal world of desktops has become. Is it toward team expression of One Web / One Voice? Not likely: most of that rot leads to viral marketing.

Solution? I don't know. It is a subtle condition of microcosmic shifts from Lessor Information Age to Maximum Information Age, and beyond. No one knows. But the answer is looking more and more like a choice between a virus, or a brick, or a shoe.

We follow discussions at PC Mag, Ziff Davis Publications, and others looking for Optimum decision-making tenore di grazzia. It turns out, it's a dog eat fish condition, dog choke on fish bones, sort of an Old Man and the Sea monologue... if you get the drift.

And then a brick falls out of the sky from a Hamas jackass standing behind a human shield, and goes right through your skiff... you sink, we sink.. We all have conversations with ourselves, in other words, alone and in a dark way, spreading Hope without Harmony.

Although there is no countdown to a verdict, if you good persons know some thing about that which we seek -- TEXT us -- fill us in -- or just throw us a brick. It's all good.

Human Shields?

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – A group of Saudi clerics urged the kingdom's new information minister on Sunday to ban women from appearing on TV or in newspapers and magazines, making clear that the country's hardline religious establishment is skeptical of a new push toward moderation.

In a statement, the 35 hardline clergymen also called on Abdel Aziz Khoja, who was appointed by King Abdullah on Feb. 14, to prohibit the playing of music and music shows on television.

"We have great hope that this media reform will be accomplished by you," said the statement. "We have noticed how well-rooted perversity is in the Ministry of Information and Culture, in television, radio, press, culture clubs and the book fair."

Although it raises the pressure on the new minister, the recommendation is likely to have little effect. Khoja's appointment was part of a government shake-up by Abdullah that removed a number of hardline figures and is believed to be part of an effort to weaken the influence of conservatives in this devout desert kingdom.

"No Saudi women should appear on TV, no matter what the reason," the statement said. "No images of women should appear in Saudi newspapers and magazines."

Saudi Arabia was founded on an alliance with the conservative Wahhabi strain of Islam that sees the mixing of sexes as anathema and believes the playing of music violates religious values.

The former information minister, Iyad Madani, earned the ire of hardliners several years ago by allowing music in government-run TV and female journalists to interview men, despite the country's strict gender-segregation rules.

Women also appear on Saudi television with their faces showing, though most in public totally cover themselves.

Newspapers publish pictures of Saudi women, but almost always with their heads covered, while pictures of Western entertainers are shown but bare arms and cleavage are painted over.

The clerics include several professors from the ultra-conservative Imam University, Islamic research scholars, a judge in a court in the resort of Taif and some government employees.

French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, in town for meetings with Saudi officials, told a news conference that during lunch he sat between a female Saudi surgeon and a female journalist. He said while one woman is allowed to perform surgery and another is allowed to teach, neither is permitted to drive.

"I find that bizarre," he said.
