Unknown Unknowns: The Found Poetry of Donald Rumsfeld

Knowing

As we know,
There are known knowns.
There are things
We know we know.
We also know
There are known unknowns.
That is to say, we know
There are some things
We do not know.
But there are also
Unknown unknowns,
The ones we don’t know
We don’t know.

-- Donald Rumsfeld, 2003

Closing Time @ AMERICAN DIGEST

Closing Time @ AMERICAN DIGEST: Closing Time
Closing Time

She was cruising down the Big Sur coast,
Looking for a little romance.
I was walking the edge of Highway One,
Hoping for a second chance.

She pulled that Ford to the side of the road.
I opened the door, got in.
Said, "My name's Adam, baby. What's yours?"
She said, "They call me Original Sin."

She didn't look like your high-school sweetheart.
She was no obvious beauty queen.
But she had something every man knows,
That fire that's felt not seen.

We coasted down that seaside highway
Until the evening fog rolled in,
Then checked ourselves into the Pines Motel,
Where I first knew Original Sin.

When I awoke the next morning
The room held nothing but me and a note.
"Nice knowing you, Adam, but I gotta roll.
See you around sometime," she wrote.

I wandered on down the side of the road,
Feeling just strange and tired.
Stuck out a thumb and a rig pulled over,
Said, "You want a job moving, you're hired."

We drifted along the curves below Sur
For most of that foggy morning,
Crawled over a hill and into a bunch
Of cops and cars with no warning.

Below the cliffs, out on the rocks
Was the smoldering wreck of a Ford.
Gulls swarmed over it, calling and calling,
Looking for a little reward.

"Another damn fool," said the trucker.
"Took the curve just a little too quick.
I seen it before and I'll see it again.
It's a killer of a road when its slick."

He edged round the cops and the gawkers,
Hit the gas, downshifted the gears.
"Pull over," I said, " and let me get out.
Far as I go is right here."

I walked back to Big Sur and got me a job.
Worked hard, got some money laid in,
And opened this bar by the side of the road,
And I named it Original Sin.

And sometimes halfway to morning,
When the last of the drunks have rolled home,
I find myself down by the Pines Motel,
And know that I'm never alone,
Know now that I'm never alone.

And that's my sad old story, pal.
Just one of a million I hear.
But this one's mine to know and to tell.
Tell me yours and I'll buy you a beer.
Tell me yours and its worth
One cold beer.

Rudyard Kipling
"The City of Brass"
1909

“Here was a people whom after their works
thou shalt see wept over for their lost dominion:
and in this palace is the last information
respecting lords collected in the dust.” –
The Arabian Nights.

In a land that the sand overlays – the ways to her gates are untrod –
A multitude ended their days whose gates were made splendid by God,
Till they grew drunk and were smitten with madness and went to their fall,
And of these is a story written: but Allah Alone knoweth all!

When the wine stirred in their heart their bosoms dilated.
They rose to suppose themselves kings over all things created –
To decree a new earth at a birth without labour or sorrow –
To declare: “We prepare it to-day and inherit to-morrow.”
They chose themselves prophets and priests of minute understanding,
Men swift to see done, and outrun, their extremest commanding –
Of the tribe which describe with a jibe the perversions of Justice –
Panders avowed to the crowd whatsoever its lust is.

Swiftly these pulled down the walls that their fathers had made them –
The impregnable ramparts of old, they razed and relaid them
As playgrounds of pleasure and leisure, with limitless entries,
And havens of rest for the wastrels where once walked the sentries;
And because there was need of more pay for the shouters and marchers,
They disbanded in face of their foemen their yeomen and archers.
They replied to their well-wishers’ fears – to their enemies laughter,
Saying: “Peace! We have fashioned a God Which shall save us hereafter.
We ascribe all dominion to man in his factions conferring,
And have given to numbers the Name of the Wisdom unerring.”

They said: “Who has hate in his soul? Who has envied his neighbour?
Let him arise and control both that man and his labour.”
They said: “Who is eaten by sloth? Whose unthrift has destroyed him?
He shall levy a tribute from all because none have employed him.”
They said: “Who hath toiled, who hath striven, and gathered possession?
Let him be spoiled. He hath given full proof of transgression.”
They said: “Who is irked by the Law? Though we may not remove it.
If he lend us his aid in this raid, we will set him above it!
So the robber did judgment again upon such as displeased him,
The slayer, too, boasted his slain, and the judges released him.

As for their kinsmen far off, on the skirts of the nation,
They harried all earth to make sure none escaped reprobation.
They awakened unrest for a jest in their newly-won borders,
And jeered at the blood of their brethren betrayed by their orders.
They instructed the ruled to rebel, their rulers to aid them;
And, since such as obeyed them not fell, their Viceroys obeyed them.
When the riotous set them at naught they said: “Praise the upheaval!
For the show and the world and the thought of Dominion is evil!”
They unwound and flung from them with rage, as a rag that defied them,
The imperial gains of the age which their forefathers piled them.
They ran panting in haste to lay waste and embitter for ever
The wellsprings of Wisdom and Strengths which are Faith and Endeavour.
They nosed out and digged up and dragged forth and exposed to derision
All doctrine of purpose and worth and restraint and prevision:

And it ceased, and God granted them all things for which they had striven,
And the heart of a beast in the place of a man’s heart was given. . . .

. . . . . . . .

When they were fullest of wine and most flagrant in error,
Out of the sea rose a sign – out of Heaven a terror.
Then they saw, then they heard, then they knew – for none troubled to hide it,
A host had prepared their destruction, but still they denied it.
They denied what they dared not abide if it came to the trail;
But the Sward that was forged while they lied did not heed their denial.
It drove home, and no time was allowed to the crowd that was driven.
The preposterous-minded were cowed – they thought time would be given.
There was no need of a steed nor a lance to pursue them;
It was decreed their own deed, and not a chance, should undo them.
The tares they had laughingly sown were ripe to the reaping.
The trust they had leagued to disown was removed from their keeping.
The eaters of other men’s bread, the exempted from hardship,
The excusers of impotence fled, abdicating their wardship,
For the hate they had taught through the State brought the State no defender,
And it passed from the roll of the Nations in headlong surrender!

Beauty Tax

Are countries about to make beautiful people less free? http://marryingyoungerwomen.com

Amplify’d from www.lovelovechina.com

In order to protect the strategic resource of young women, I suggest that country gradually implements the “beauty tax”. Actually, there is already such precedent in one country where the lack of young women yielded the implementation of similar taxation.

In the small country of Belarus, East Europe, the president Lukashenko personally addressed the “beauty issues”. One day, he discovered by chance that almost all female models were foreign women. So he asked, “where did all Byelorussian girls go? ” The answer was “The most beautiful girls were hired by foreign model companies.” Lukashenko was furious and ordered to limit the “export” of beautiful girls to protect the national strategic resource.

Currently, there is a surprising number of Chinese women doing show business abroad. And the young Chinese girls marrying abroad only aggravate the gender imbalance. For example, Wei Wei who married a foreigner and lives in Sweden. Not only China lost a worker in the field of art but also a beautiful woman. Indirectly it caused some Chinese man to lose a spouse and more than one child in China.

Cherry Blossoms » Marrying Younger Women Abroad

Media_httpmarryingyou_bkdum

Cherry Blossoms shines in the "mail order bride" business, despite the fact that they can't stand the term. Long before the Web, their magazine of Asian women, mostly Filipinas, has continuously been held in high regard. Even when I worked in the Embassy in Manila in the early 1980s, at a time we held nearly all matchmakers in disrepute, Cherry Blossoms maintained a singular first-rate reputation.

As one of the few to make the transition from glossy paper to digital dating, Cherry Blossoms has a decent online interface with much to do for free. It's free to sign on, so why not join today? The goal is to enable a safe platform for singles to post their personal profiles and meet for entertainment, friendship and online romance.

If the Philippines is your preference for a place to get married, retire, and live, Cherry Blossoms is the only agency you need.

Nanex - HFT Breaks Speed-of-Light Barrier, Sets Trading Speed World Record

Nanex - HFT Breaks Speed-of-Light Barrier, Sets Trading Speed World Record ALARM

On September 15, 2011, beginning at 12:48:54.600, there was a time warp in the trading of Yahoo! (YHOO) stock. HFT has reached speeds faster than the speed-of-light, allowing time travel into the future. Up to 190 milliseconds into the future, or 0.19 fantaseconds is the record so far. It all happened in just over one second of trading, the evidence buried under an avalanche of about 19,000 quotations and 3,000 individual trade executions. The facts of the matter are indisputable. Based on official exchange timestamps, there is unmistakable proof that YHOO trades were executed on quotes that didn't exist until 190 milliseconds later!

Let's make sure everyone understands what's being talked about here - there were trades executed on quotes that hadn't yet occurred.

Or at least this is what the timestamps represented.

There is absolutely no excuse for this. It is an absolutely trivial matter to have synchronized time nowdays. Not by 190 milliseconds, but by a fraction of a millisecond. In fact, with no effort whatsoever, the colocated server that runs this blog keeps time to within about one millisecond, and I could be more accurate if I cared to spend some money. That is, I literally am accurate within one millisecond spending zero, using only multiple Internet resources available to everyone (ntpd, to be precise.) When I ran MCSNet I had a radio clock that sync'd off WWVB and provided time to our network - I picked it up surplus for under $100 and it provided a "chime" timesource accurate to within about a half a millisecond. Modern GPS receivers can provide similar time service with nothing more than a cable (I have one here at my home in just this application) and likewise are not expensive.

So, what's going on here? Well, there are a couple of possibilities. Some of them are truly sinister. For example, the entire quote system may no longer give quotes to all the people at the same time, and thus the premise that you're trading against a fair market is a total farce. Your quotes go in front of or behind others, and others trade in front of or behind you. What's worse that activity could be happening selectively when it's bad for you and good for someone else, and there's no way for you to know!

There are, of course "innocent" explanations that do not involve intentional manipulation, but there's no way to prove them. When you no longer can reasonably depend on synchronization at the most-base level - that is, that a timestamp is a timestamp is a timestamp and all are accurate - then you're not trading or investing any more, you are probably playing at a poker table with a marked deck and confederates sharing their cards with the other players on a selective basis to rip you off.

The SEC won't stop this crap as is quite clear from the facts over more than a year's time so what options do you have left?

What I would recommend is starting with one country and one country only. You will exhaust yourself moving from place to place on a short vacation or tour schedule. That does not mean you can’t try socials in several cites in the same country, but I would stick to one area. That way, you don’t have to learn a number of languages (optional) or customs before departing.

Why Marry a Younger Woman Abroad » Marrying Younger Women Abroad

younger, taller, prettier, smarter & sexier than you can find at home

A one-stop source for information on marrying younger women abroad. Tips and techniques for finding your perfect bride in Russia, China, Thailand, the Philippines, or beyond.

Why Marry a Younger Woman Abroad

Reasons Why You Might Want to Marry a Younger Woman Abroad

1. Because You Can

Even if you are unable to attract desirable young women in your home country, you will be able to choose from thousands from Russia to Thailand to Brazil that are more beautiful than you could of ever imagined – and they are looking for someone like you.

2. Beauty

We’re guys. We fall in love with our eyes first. I happen to be an old white guy who loves brown and dark skinned beauties from around the world. Just looking for the perfect match in the Philippines could keep me busy for a lifetime.

3. Find Love Anywhere

You can find love anywhere, but more important, in many other parts of the world, you will find respect. I hate to say it, but when I returned to the U.S. from abroad, many American women have a “what have you done for me lately” mindset. I guarantee that a young woman in the Philippines will treat you better on her worst day than your ex did over the past 20 years.

4. Ego

Let’s face facts. If I’m on the streets with a woman my age, no one cares. If I show up at the grocery store or church with a leggy, 25 year old Russian blonde, American women will check out the package, assume I have a fat bank account, and lock up their husbands.

5. Tired of All the Local BS

Sometimes you just get tired of all the typical relationship problems that don’t seem to have improved much since high school. Marriage is supposed to be a partnership, not a competition. You may be at the point where you are paying for everyone else’s dreams without and not taking care of what you need to satisfy your own desires. Maybe it’s time for something different. Problems will still crop up, but they will not be the same-old-same-old boring junk.

6. Physical Attraction

Add a smoking hot body to a beautiful face, and most men are toast. Nothing wrong with wanting to wake up next to some firm female flesh. You know we’re pigs. You have called us that for decades. Now, we have a little blue pill that will alter the sexual playing field forever.

7. Want a New Family

You may have missed having children the first time around, or you may want to do a better job with a new partner. Maybe you just needed to grow up, shed youthful bad habits, and get it right this time.

8. Elegant Partner

If you are in your 60s and don’t want more children, you are in even better shape to find a dynamic wife. In many countries, it is almost impossible for a woman over 40 to find a husband. You can select from hundreds of the most beautiful women on the planet who are refined, elegant, and well-educated. And the great thing is they are still 20+ years younger than you are, and they are not getting nearly enough attention on the matchmaking sites.

Many American women want to believe an older man marrying a younger woman is a domination or power thing. For some men, maybe it is. But for me, it’s all about respect and the excitement of learning her language and culture, as well as sharing the best about my own.

Others can criticize and judge all they want. I would rather wake up each morning youngest, tallest, prettiest, smartest, and sexiest woman who actually believes I am a catch.

BONUS REASON – Sometimes you just want to piss off all those women who passed on you when you were younger.
