Philadelphia, City of the friends of Apollon...

Let me give you some good words that need not be unspoken.
Mostly they are aphorisms, some written originally
in English,others in German or French. The german sayings
I shall quote in original, then translate them. My words
know to mean something, I am a master of thoughts.
Be my guest!

(Besides that, I read a bit about the place in the Internet -
there is not much, but significant. When I contacted the page
of the government the whole picture tilted and I had to close
down my computer, restart it. Last thing I saw was: In Philly,
we don’t smoke. That’s for official. Very significative I found
the information that the town was the capital of the then U.S.
during the years in which the revolution and its spoils shuddered
through France and Europe. Someone someday wanted to please
his god by slaughtering a pleasant bull (Taurus) for him.
Some distant but certainly real day in Philadelphia Town someone
offered the first bull, and he need not have meant it for the Gods.
It was just that the animal got expressedly, expertly killed.

I find this by some distant association with the picture
of the astronomical-astrological sky of this year. Be greeted
my fellow men, something really great is going on. At the start
of this sun year the sun, Jupiter, Mercury and Pluto convened
at the winter meridian. Jupiter went three days ahead, Mercury
hurried through between sun and Jupiter, the sun followed and Pluto
in the far high background of the picture will definitely pass
the meridian through this year, recurving around the meridian
like striking a string. Once when early in the 80ies in France
I found myself invited by some fine young people into a village
in the mediterranean mountains.
We celebrated the anniversary of Helene by sharing
an LSD-Trip. A cat was in the house, black and strong.
When high, alone with the cat and a very finely strung guitar,
I repeatedly struck the cords in an airy feeling, delighted
(exalted) by the audible effects I thus exacted. Besides that,
I cuddled with the cat and made it purr intensely. Finally,
the cat jumped from my arm, took his right paw to the strings
of the (upstanding) guitar,and, really, a tone sounded.
That’s understood. So, it remains to be said that during this year
Pluto, the outermost planet of the known system and guardian
of the sun’s riches ageinst the nothingness of empty space,
will start another run around the sky for 248 years now.
Last time that happened, the industrial revolution was about
to set out, with a glance upon the provinces
in America. Also with this, a new run around the heavens for 12 years
then will start Jupiter. A time that may make see those who know
to find sense, in themselves as in the world picture. Another
remarkable occurrance of this year is that the sun with her nearest
planets, Mercury and Venus, is now already in the way of passing
through the sky without one of the other, outer planets standing
in the way before far sky. So to say, the sun is acting as star
between the stars, judging the planetary system and
especially earth AND especially everything that led the US
to send up several satellites far beyond everything, into open space,
thouroughly, since the passage without intermediary planets between
her and the other stars in all distance will last from April to August,
a stretch of a third of the zodiak. The most interesting ocurrence
during this span shall be an imminent move of Mercury around the sun,
forming a figure line like the profile of a cow’s tongue sticking out
to an iron spike that had been drawn by the planet Mars on the
summer high of the celestial sky. Everything clear so far? I have more often
encountered cow who sticked their tongue against a spike of the barbed wire
that fenced them in. The Mercury curve will then rush down at the right side
of the sun to form a spike that points sharply to the Taurus star,
the red Aldebaran. In our steads I somdeday found a pleasant young bull,
really nice guy, sturdy, awake, strong enough. I often wrangled with his head,
and he seemed to like this play. But I found a slight bump at the right side
of his face. His owner told me that he had piqued and infected himself there,
as it sometimes happened with cow (comes the term “holy cow” out of Philadelphia?),
and he would have to be slaughtered because of the sickness. This boy’s fate
was an omen for the whole stead because some time later when rumours were
far about over mad cow desease and mouth and claw plague the owner on the spot
sold his whole herd into instant oblivion. You see, a sign like that in the
emerging sky picture preannounces itself in earthly events. I felt very sorry
over this because this herd was an exceptionally fine one and very private to me.
In France, during this time or later, I found that the bovines business is
handled like a Mithras cult, very expressly, that’s a kind of state cult
in the republic that follows those who beheaded les rois de tous boeufs.
Oyoy.

Well - bad news from Asia show how concernedly one is deemed
to experience this. The year goes on. Watch it, it’s going to be great -
in ways that no human would intend... )

The time has come for us to stop talking about the problems in our neighborhoods and start acting. This year’s conference is inspired by the community activists and youth leaders who work hard to make our neighborhoods places of opportunities where people excel, ideas grow and dreams are realized. By bringing together young people ages 14-21 and adults from around the region, we will begin to create real solutions to the many challenges in our communities. Workshops and interactive sessions will empower youth to effectively address the challenges they face everyday and enhance adults’ capacity to nurture the potential of every youth. We invite everyone, both youth and adults, interested in making a positive and lasting impact in their community to “Step Up!” and “Be the Change”.

**This year’s conference will feature an exciting keynote speech by Ephren W. Taylor, CEO of City Capital Corporation and the youngest African-American CEO of a publicly traded company ever!**

*The conference will also feature a lunchtime comedy performance by Philadelphia’s own Keith from Up Da Block!*

What Do You Do After You Pray:
The Church's Response to Gun-Violence in Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA, PA – With more than 250 murders after the first half of 2007, the city once known as the City of Brotherly Love has instead quickly become known as Kill-a-delphia, forcing many residents to live and operate in fear as a result of the gun-violence inflicting the city.

On Saturday, August 25, 2007, Philly Koinonia Ministries (pronounced koy-no-NEE-yah) will organize its initial effort dealing with this problem, the "2007 Gun-drive and City Fellowship". This will be an outdoor effort beginning at 10 a.m. taking place at the Dorothy Emmanuel Recreation Center, located in the Mt. Airy section of Philadelphia. To effectuate a change in our culture, we must not solely rely on the power of prayer, but also take responsibility with our actions to address the stronghold embattling our city; for our actions speak louder than our words. The organization identifies fear as the stronghold that simultaneously creates gun-violence, and results from gun-violence, and therefore will focus using this effort to present an understanding of God’s love to combat the stronghold of fear dwelling in this city as a result of gun violence; for God is love (1John 4:16) and in love there is no fear (1John 4:18).

In addition to the gun-drive (individuals will receive a gift card in exchange for their gun), this effort will also include an appearance by Mayoral Candidate Michael Nutter; messages given by local Pastors, such as: Bishop Keith W. Reed, Pastor Kevin M. Aiken, Pastor Chandra I. Williams, Pastor Daniel Sutton, Pastor Larry Anderson, Pastor Eric Mason, among others; performances by local choirs and other guest artists; and also a nonprofit/vendor area featuring more than 30 tables of advocates, businesses, and non-profit organizations that offer programs and services related to the focus of this effort.

 During yesterday's game against the San Diego Padres were all treated to multiple mentions of the size of Petco Park by our main man behind the mic Chris Wheeler. In the interest of fun and just a little bit of malice, I am going to run a guessing game. So fellow fans, how many times will Wheels mention the size of the ballpark? "This ballpark is huge' , `look at the size of this ballpark', `you don't hit many homers in this field', or some facsimile of this phrase. Also acceptable are patent-pending Wheels chuckles or guffaws at deep flyouts being caught on the warning track. However, if he does a guffaw then a phrase, that is still only one mention. Each mention must be on a different play or plate appearance.

The fan closest to the actual number, over or under, will win a HUGE (like Safeco) T-Shirt courtesy of yours truly (other fine Wheels T-Shirts are available at Chris Wheeler Glossary.com). Make sure to leave a real email address in the comments section of this post so I can contact you. And if this is a complete failure, well I'll just keep the freaking shirt!  Or email me it at pacino@backshegoes.com
