Founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC on the Mediterranean coast of Egypt, Alexandria became a center of trade and learning in the ancient world. Alexander built the causeway between the Eastern and Western Harbors, joining Pharos Island to the mainland. Alexandria’s cultural status was symbolized by the lighthouse on Pharos, one of the “Seven Wonders of the World.” The causeway is still known as the old part of the modern city. Since the year 2000, underwater archeologists have located the sunken palace, ceremonial buildings and port facilities of ancient Alexandria, located along most of the curved southern shoreline of the Eastern Harbor. This detailed image provides a view of the modern port facilities in the Western Harbor, where wharves and many moored ships can be detected.

Monkey business in Presidential Debate~slabbed
"I think people really are missing the point about McCain’s failure to look at Obama. McCain was afraid of Obama. It was really clear–look at how much McCain blinked in the first half hour. I study monkey behavior–low ranking monkeys don’t look at high ranking monkeys. In a physical, instinctive sense, Obama owned McCain tonight and I think the instant polling reflects that… "The Masqued E'vinga Strikes Again!

Diamond Vajra Queen Gillian Welsh:
"Time the Revelator"
Darling remember from when you come to me
that I’m the Pretender,
I’m not what I’m supposed to be
but who could know, lf I’m a traitor?
Time's the Revelator, Revelator.
They caught the Katey, and left me a mule to ride.
The Fortune Lady came along she walked beside,
but every word seemed to date her.
Time's the Revelator, the Revelator.
Up in the morning up and on the ride.
I drive in to Corning and all the spindles whine
and ever day is getting straighter.
Time's the Revelator, the Revelator
Leaving the valley and fucking out of sight
I’ll go back to Cali where I can sleep out every night
and watch the waves and move the fader.
Queen of fakes and Imitators
Time's the Revelator.
