Grand Hall Warwick Castle - Photo of the week

Our old time photo of the week is this inside look at the grand hall of the Warwick Castle.  To bad it's not in color, one can only imagine just how truly amazing this castle hall itself is.  Below is a video of the castle.  It's a short documentary about this amazing place.

The Best of James Mullan.  We just finished listening to his song, Visions and really enjoyed it.  The songs we have heard are all instrumental, but very well done.  Play them and see which ones you like.  If you like them, download them for free.  That round green dot is the download button.  It's free and legal.  No issues.  We didn't find any videos on YouTube of this artist and the website that was listed for the artist is no longer valid.  To bad, there is some real talent here.  Let's hope he has gotten somewhere and not given up on music.

Eugenics and Other Evils

George Bernard Shaw (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

I publish these essays at the present time for a particular reason connected with the present situation; a reason which I should like briefly to emphasise and make clear.

Though most of the conclusions, especially towards the end, are conceived with reference to recent events, the actual bulk of preliminary notes about the science of Eugenics were written before the war. It was a time when this theme was the topic of the hour; when eugenic babies (not visibly very distinguishable from other babies) sprawled all over the illustrated papers; when the evolutionary fancy of Nietzsche was the new cry among the intellectuals; and when Mr. Bernard Shaw and others were considering the idea that to breed a man like a cart-horse was the true way to attain that higher civilisation, of intellectual magnanimity and sympathetic insight, which may be found in cart-horses. It may therefore appear that I took the opinion too controversially, and it seems to me that I sometimes took it too seriously. But the criticism of Eugenics soon expanded of itself into a more general criticism of a modern craze for scientific officialism and strict social organisation.

And then the hour came when I felt, not without relief, that I might well fling all my notes into the fire. The fire was a very big one, and was burning up bigger things than such pedantic quackeries. And, anyhow, the issue itself was being settled in a very different style. Scientific officialism and organisation in the State which had specialised in them, had gone to war with the older culture of Christendom. Either Prussianism would win and the protest would be hopeless, or Prussianism would lose and the protest would be needless. As the war advanced from poison gas to piracy against neutrals, it grew more and more plain that the scientifically organised State was not increasing in popularity. Whatever happened, no Englishmen would ever again go nosing round the stinks of that low laboratory. So I thought all I had written irrelevant, and put it out of my mind.

I am greatly grieved to say that it is not irrelevant. It has gradually grown apparent, to my astounded gaze, that the ruling classes in England are still proceeding on the assumption that Prussia is a pattern for the whole world. If parts of my book are nearly nine years old, most of their principles and proceedings are a great deal older. They can offer us nothing but the same stuffy science, the same bullying bureaucracy and the same terrorism by tenth-rate professors that have led the German Empire to its recent conspicuous triumph. For that reason, three years after the war with Prussia, I collect and publish these papers.

G.K.C.

The Wrong Girl, In Isolation - Free MP3 Song Of The Day

Royalty-free music for professional licensing

The Wrong Girl by In Isolation from Nottingham, England.  Great song that quickly reminds us of U2.  Check it out.   Downloading copies of this is free and legal.  Here are the words to this song.  This is the band we brought to you yesterday and this is another one of their songs.  We thought this was well worth visiting the band again for more.

Lyrics;  THE WRONG GIRL (Swift/Berry)

It's all wrong, it's not the way it should be
You got it wrong, barking up the wrong tree
It's not her I fell for
Though comrades true, I can't help but covet you
In days old, a King would deem us courting
I still behold your faint jocular flirting
And it's you I fell for
While state of play; much risk would give this game away

I say you'll storm their passion, you get the wrong impression
Is is ridiculous to be ambiguous and oh, so subtle?
I say they'll cross swords for you, this vain attempt's lost on you
It's not indigenous to be ambiguous and oh, so subtle

It's all strange, do boundaries have a weak joint?
The hormones rage - this could be a sore point
Should close friends go further?
Eye-to-eye I'd like us seeing this alike
Do you flutter with cunning deviation
To land another girl with my affection?
Do you think it could go further?
Or is this your plan to pretend not to understand?

I say you'll storm their passion, you get the wrong impression
Is is ridiculous to be ambiguous and oh, so subtle?
I say they'll cross swords for you, this vain attempt's lost on you
It's not indigenous to be ambiguous and oh, so subtle

You don't understand what I'm saying
You don't understand what I'm meaning
You take it all wrong
You don't understand where it's going
You don't understand where it's leading

Open your eyes

I say you'll storm their passion, you get the wrong impression
Is is ridiculous to be ambiguous and oh, so subtle?
I say they'll cross swords for you, this vain attempt's lost on you
It's not indigenous to be ambiguous and oh, so subtle

You don't understand what I'm saying
You don't understand where it's going
