		<title>Litany Against Fear</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain. 
from Frank Herbert&#8217;s Dune [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hunger Strike - Temple of The Dog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hunger Strike by Temple of The Dog&#8230; a joint project by some of the members of Pearl Jam and Sound Garden during the early nineties produced this great song&#8230; yet another fine example of what happens when great artists collaborate.


I don&#8217;t mind stealing bread from the mouths of decadence, but I can&#8217;t feed on the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Raven</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Once upon a midnight dreary,
while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping,
suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping,
rapping at my chamber door.
&#8216;Tis some visitor,&#8217; I muttered,
&#8216;tapping at my chamber door -
Only this, and nothing more.&#8217;

Ah, distinctly I remember
it was in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Charge of the Light Brigade</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
&#8216;Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns&#8217; he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

&#8216;Forward, the Light Brigade!&#8217;
Was there a man dismay&#8217;d?
Not tho&#8217; the soldiers knew
Some one had blunder&#8217;d:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but [...]]]></description>

		<title>A League of their Own</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I just love this movie.  Set during World War II in the American Homeland, it tells the tale of a Women&#8217;s Baseball League that was setup to fill the void formed by the professional baseball players going off to war.

The movie came out in 1992 and was directed by Penny Marshall.  It had [...]]]></description>

		<title>Admiral Hyman G. Rickover, the father of the Nuclear Navy and owner of the lucky Nose</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Admiral Hyman G. Rickover played a great part in the development of nuclear power in the US Navy.  Just to prove to you how ground breaking their work had been, imagine the impact of the technology they had created, which allowed a nuclear reactor (that usually gets housed in a large building) to be [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Seven Basic Principles of Magic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


After watching this, I see no difference between magicians and some of the powers-that-be.  With regards to the methods they use to fool us in order to turn their vested interests into reality.  You just have to look back at the history of the great wars of this century and how they started [...]]]></description>
