What is the TRUE Origin of Valentine’s Day? - at BibleStudy.org:
"The Greeks called Lupercus by the name of 'Pan'. The Semites called Pan 'Baul,' according to the Classical Dictionaries. Baal - mentioned so often in the Bible - was merely another name for Nimrod, 'the mighty hunter' ( Genesis 10:9) It was a common proverb of ancient time that Nimrod was 'the MIGHTY hunter before the Lord.' Nimrod was their hero - their strong man - their VALENTINE!"

"In the second half of the nineteenth century, a group of composers that came to be known as the 'Mighty Five'--Miliy Balakirev, Aleksandr Borodin, César Cui, Modest Musorgskiy, and Nikolay Rimskiy-Korsakov--continued Glinka's movement away from imitation of European classical music. The Mighty Five challenged the Russian Music Society's conservatism with a large body of work thematically based on Russia's history and legends and musically based on its folk and religious music. Among the group's most notable works are Rimskiy-Korsakov's symphonic suite Scheherezade and the operas The Snow Maiden and Sadko , Musorgskiy's operas Boris Godunov and Khovanshchina , and Borodin's opera Prince Igor' . Balakirev, a protégé of Glinka, was the founder and guiding spirit of the group."

NonAlignment Pact: Music in Seven Days from Seven Writers
NonAlignment Pact: Music in Seven Days from Seven Writers
If you have a way of tapping into a permanently renewing resource, and you have a way of knowing the unknowable, then where is there for you to go from there? Arrogance is just a tool for the weak. It sounds so obvious, but it really isn’t. That’s why it’s so effective. No, the truly sublime is always there, awesome and simple, brilliant and ordinary, and you have but to look at it. Are there absolutes? Absolutely. I’ve faced them. I’ve spoken with them. Why just last night I faced a facet of it and I tell you about it now in my own roundabout way. And this is coming from a nonbeliever. I have no faith in the overarching negation of will.
Sit back, stop thinking, take it all in…
And the drone is absolute.

HINTS, TEASES, AND OTHER CONFUSIONS: ION #10 - NEWSARAMA
HINTS, TEASES, AND OTHER CONFUSIONS: ION #10 - NEWSARAMA
NRAMA: Got it. Oh - and the red sky - a nod to previous times when the sky would turn red, or an indicator that this is a "Crisis" kinda thing?
RM: Yeah, how 'bout that, red skies. I wonder why my editor, Eddie Berganza, suggested we slip that in there? He must know something…

The Chronicle: 1/26/2007: Pessimism vs. Existentialism
The Chronicle: 1/26/2007: Pessimism vs. Existentialism
Perhaps the wartime experiences of Mr. Cranky put him beyond the reach of any celebration of life, but Mr. Grumpy insists that existentialism provides an experience of incredible freedom, a feeling of responsibility that is not so much a "burden" as a matter of finding one's true self-identity. If nihilism and despair play any role in this picture, it is only as background against which existentialism is the ecstatic resistance. Responsibility and choice, picking oneself up by the bootstraps, are what this positive version of existentialism is all about.
