In the religious writings of Kabbalah, Adam Kadmon is a phrase meaning "Primal Man". The oldest rabbinical source for the term "Adam ha-Ḳadmoni" is Num. R. x., where Adam is styled, not as usually, "Ha-Rishon" (the first), "Ha-Kadmoni" (the original). In Lurianic Kabbalah, Adam Ḳadmon acquired an exalted status equivalent to Purusha in the Upanishads, denoting an anthropomorphic concept of the universe itself. In this variant of mythopoetic cosmogenesis and anthropogenesis, the "Adam Soul" is described as the primeval soul that contained all human souls. Adam Ḳadmon is comparable to the Anthropos of Gnosticism and Manichaeism. There is also a similar concept in Alevi and Sufic philosophy called the Perfect or Complete Man." Universal musical vibrations create light. Our higher selves is this light. We were here at the beginning and we will be here at the end.

There's something the Germans make which is basically pig fat, lard and white flour dumplings. This is normally eaten with fried potato cakes and more pig fat and lard and any other fat they can get into it.

Mrs P jogs the dopey bitch.

Add butter to taste.

Obama's healthcare reforms effectively deliver a large part of the population from the dubious "freedom" to worry about who will cover their illnesses. Being able to take basic healthcare for granted, to count on it like one counts on water or electricity without worrying about choosing the supplier, means people simply gain more time and energy to dedicate their lives to other things. The lesson to be learned is that freedom of choice only functions if a complex network of legal, educational, ethical, economic and other conditions is present as the invisible background to the exercise of our freedom. This is why, as a counter to the ideology of choice, countries like Norway should be held up as models: although all the main agents respect a basic social agreement and large social projects are enacted in a spirit of solidarity, social productivity and dynamism are at extraordinary levels, contradicting the common wisdom that such a society should be stagnating." http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/nov/13/obama-ground-floor-thinking Zizek on youtube is a cracking watch btw.

20 pressups and a marlboro light is my regime. Oh and loads of Mrs P's face cream.

What about Shakatak fucker?

Get him back for a week I'm bored with all this namby pamby sensible posting bollocks.

Yeah but where's the stats on this economic downturn??

Yeah work really hard, wear your fuking body out. Joggers die young.

Needs a haricut. Spends half the game fiddling with his locks.

He's saying what a lot of us have been saying about Hatem. He's wasted to an extent in that right wing role and you can see in games he drifts all over the place to try and get the ball. He should be playing centrally behind the striker and we should have 3 in midfield like 90% of the PL where midfield battles are key. The other headache Bird mentions and we've all noticed this season is the dramatic decline of Guti who's gone from winger to defensive winger, to defensive cover for the left back and now defensive (few runs forward) kinda nowhere midfielder - firefighting nearly all game. I t might be an act of god we're spared him for a few weeks. But will Anita play well there? The jury is still out. Cisse can't be trusted not to miss chances atm so Ba ideally should take the one striker slot and Cisse given the last 15-20min when it is clear Ba is shot in games. Fitness and spark is really lacking this season and with that the pressing has gone out the window. We've started to look a bit like a Hodgson side in that respect - sitting deep and waiting for teams to come onto us. There is so much wrong I could write 5 pages. The mystery being: What has changed?

Hatem should take freekicks and corners.

The ole eyephone. And the bitten apple.

Get fined if you go into the box probably.

http://science.nasa..../13may_2004mn4/ Right now they estimate it will miss by 18,600 miles. That is very close and it will be visible to the naked eye. Next year 2013 they will have a chance to recalibrate the data. Alan Fitzsimmons, an astronomer from Queen's University Belfast, said: "When it does pass close to us on April 13 2029, the Earth will deflect it and change its orbit. There's a small possibility that if it passes through a particular point in space, the so-called keyhole, ... the Earth's gravity will change things so that when it comes back around again in 2036, it will collide with us." The chance of Apophis passing through the keyhole, a 600-metre patch of space, is 1 in 5,500 based on current information. There are no shortage of ideas on how to deflect asteroids. The Advanced Concepts Team at the European Space Agency have led the effort in designing a range of satellites and rockets to nudge asteroids on a collision course for Earth into a different orbit. No technology has been left unconsidered, even potentially dangerous ideas such as nuclear powered spacecraft. "The advantage of nuclear propulsion is a lot of power," said Prof Fitzsimmons. "The negative thing is that ... we haven't done it yet. Whereas with solar electric propulsion, there are several spacecraft now that do use this technology so we're fairly confident it would work." http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2005/dec/07/spaceexploration.research

He had a barren spell at Freiburg of similar proportions. He is the classic hot and cold striker. Lineker and Owen were the same. He stands out more cause his allroudn game isn't really upto much.

Not sure if Anita will ever hack it in the rough and tumble of a PL midfield battle. (Looked more promising at RB). In a mf 3 it's maybe a different matter. The Dutch league is a million miles from the legions of big healthy predatory black men lose in our top division.

Leazes and Stevie

The 4th spot is wide open this year. AVB I still maintain isn't a Spurs type manager and Wenger has bought badly the last couple of seasons with some leaving and wanting to leave (Walcott), poor keeper (still). Liv are in transition with no money and Everton will tail off at some point when their thin squad is exposed (around x-mas).

It's even more galling when you realise that teams chock with average and poor players like Norwich, WBA and Wigan are playing better football than us.

I hate defenders as managers, but the game is riddled with them.

Beren one of my fav football posters. Good yet depressing read: The petulance probably relates to being a bit sick of football in its present state. It's really quite s*** if you think about it. The trophy-winning club is all but a closed shop with a buy-in deposit which prices out all but the insanely wealthy. Below that you have a new emerging tier of owners such as our own who will sell the values and traditions of the game down the river to keep financially healthy (rightly or wrongly, I don't care to comment upon at this moment). The players are bigger arseholes than ever before. The fans are a commodity of the enterprise, treated like dollar signs, rather than the driving force and lifeblood of the game. It's weird - because I laughed my tits off when I read a post on RTG the other day which was essentially: "football is crap anyway, at least I have my family" - which is equivalent to "I'm taking my ball home". Embarrassingly though (and it is that), I feel similar today. I also remember laughing at Sunderland's seventh place finishes as being the acme of their wildest possible dreams. In the last decade, and for the foreseeable future - are we/will we be significantly different? Probably not as different as we'd like to think IMO. Looking at it in financial terms, Pardew's (overly) frequent pressers about the football we play ("fast brand of front-foot football" "fans on the edge of their seats" etc) is not altogether too different from misleading the stakeholders (the fans) of a business. It's very intentional on his part too. This is demonstrable be repeated calls to keep the stadium full. He lied to Yohan Cabaye about what type of football we'd look to play too. His pursuit of Carroll seems to suggest we're looking to exert additional resources towards an aim (Sam Allardyce football) which is not in line with the aims of stakeholders who invest their money, time and considerably more towards at least - at least - a genuine INTENTION to progress the club towards winning trophies with good football. All the while, Pardew continues to act as Ashley's man on the ground - the buffer - with the responsibilities of being an affable character, unpartisan towards the board and keeping the crowd revenue coming in of course. Pardew's latest discharge of said duties through a post-match interview completely lacking in integrity and honesty. I would find it quite shameful if I thought he cared a jot for the club. I like him less than ever. Would genuinely prefer Harry Redknapp was in charge. They're both c***s to me, who talk about other teams players and generally don't know when to shut the f*** up, but at least one of them can coach a team to play attractive football. And it isn't our man. Won't happen but still, worth mentioning. Anyway. Quarter of the way through the season, and this result tees us up nicely to finish in a vastly underwhelming 10th or thereabouts as I predicted at the beginning of the season. Smug is me. Beyond that lies the sale of Hatem Ben Arfa et al, and the fall away from our 2011/12 apex. It'll be a whole new set of players and a good few years before we're back to such heights again. In a way, I envy Aston Villa.. at least they've hit the nadir of their cycle and are now on the way back up again. We've got a lot of downhill left. * - hope I feel less bitter about it all in the morning, but this is a forum for venting so a big pre-emptive 'go f*** yourself' to the forum assholes It was a long journey back so this all stewed quite noxiously until I reached my keyboard."
