Rhymes of the Inca

Pizarro
(Spanish conquistador ((1525))

The blind follow the blind
The dumb follow the fool
But the cleaver, like ‘Pizarro,’
(who could not read or write)
Followed human-nature…
And ruled the Inca world!

Thus, Atahualpa was
Beheaded out of pride and
Indolence: one might say,
And ignorance ruled… .

Cepeda the Sly
[Lima, Perl546 AD]

Cepeda the Sly, judge
With two sides; one false,
One prideboth mixed with lies.

Antonio de Robles
[Cuzco, Per1547 AD]

He was a ‘…heartless wretch!’
A man who would not bend
No mans friend…

He met his prophetic fate
In defeat, on the streets
Swinging from a Cuzco tree!

General Quizquiz
[Cuzco–1533 AD]

The bravest of them all
Was General Quizquiz
Inca General of Peru

Who harassed the Spanish
Conquistadors
Thru and thru…

In Cuzco, He fought each day
His immortal enemies; and
With a storm, Quizquiz

In concert, butcher alive,
The conquistadors
By and by… .

The Revenge of:

Titu-Atauchi
[1527-1533 AD]

Sancho de Cuellar
Court Clerk at Athualpa’s trial
Was once, one of thirteen, now
The only one… (no heroism in his blood)
Captured by the Inca prince

Titu-Atauchi

(no longer mocked the Inca King…)
Now the scapegoat
For Athualpa’s killing…

Thus, this day he had no words
To worsen his own trail
(not like he did with the Inca King)
Thereupon, he was executed
By the prince, for testimony

In Spanish

Note: Titu-Atauchi, brother to the Inca king

The Leyenda Negra

Se dice, que la Leyenda Negra, fue el tiempo de los conquistadores de Per, principalmente aquellos de Espaa; podras decir que éste fue un tiempo igual a la Edad del Oscurantismo en Europa. Estos poemas son acerca de la gente que vivi a través de este tiempo; sus testimonios escritos ahora tradicin. El fracaso de defender a Per en contra de las fuerzas renovadas de Europa fue la fatalidad sobre Per. Este perodo en el pasado cercano ha sido de poco interés para muchos, pero ahora es visto como historia formativa para Per, rica y apasionante para el lector. Ricardo Palma fue en parte mi inspiracin para esta parte del libro. Déjeme también aadir, éste fue el tiempo del Imperio de los Incas, que mantuvieron su supremaca hasta este final.

Pizarro I
(Conquistador espaol (1525))

El ciego sigue al ciego
El mudo siguen al idiota
Pero el inteligente, como “Pizarro”,
(quien no poda leer o escribir)
sigui a la naturaleza-humana…
Y gobern al Mundo Inca!

As, Atahualpa fue
Decapitado fuera de orgullo e
Indolencia: uno podra decir,
Y la ignorancia gobern…

Cepeda el Astuto II
[Lima, Per-1546 Después de Cristo]

Cepeda el Astuto, juzg
Con dos lados; uno falso,
Otro orgullo-ambos mezclados con mentiras.

Antonio de Robles III
[Cuzco, Per-1547 Después de Cristo]

l era un ‘…despiadado desgraciado’!
Un hombre que no se doblegara
No amigo de hombres …
l encontr su destino profético
En derrota, sobre las calles
Balancendose de un rbol de Cuzco!

General Quizquiz IV
[Cuzco - 1533 Después de Cristo]

El ms valiente de todos ellos
Fue el General Quizquiz
General Inca del Per

Quien acos a los conquistadores espaoles
De arriba a abajo …

En Cuzco, él luch cada da
A sus enemigos inmortales; y
Con una tormenta, Quizquiz

En concierto, descuartiz vivo,
Los conquistadores
Mientras el tiempo pasaba.

The quickest way the write you own eBooks is by using the expert
interview process. What I mean by this is, approaching some
experts in the field your writing the book on and asking them to
agree to do an interview. If you approach these experts
correctly, they will provide you with expert responses to all
your questions. You will find these experts by checking search
engines or related niche forums. The easiest way to contact
these experts, is by email with a list of questions. Before you
submit questions or contact your expert, do your research on
him/her. You need to approach these experts correctly therefore
you need to consider the following points.

Keep your questions short and too the point: You will turn the
person off if you are asking long winded questions, long
questions lead to long answers and you don’t want your expert to
spend too much time.

Give a good introduction of yourself at the start of the email.
You will have a better chance of reply because the respondent
can evaluate you.

Take care of spelling and grammar: One spelling/grammar mistake
could destroy your chances of getting the interview.

Have a deadline: You must have a deadline. This will help you
plan your writing better and it will force your respondent to
reply quicker.

Object of the interview: You must let the respondent know what
the interview is for. For example is it for an ebook to resell
or a free bonus to give away.

Appreciate the respondent: Let the expert know that you are a
fan of his/her business or website etc. This helps get a much
more positive response.

Something in return: The responder has to get something in
return. He/She is not going to give time to do the interview for
nothing. An example of an offer would usually consist of
offering to share the profits of the ebook.

So believe me when I say this, if you approach these experts
correctly you could get a huge volume of feedback and enough
material to combine a best selling eboook

Selecting a credit card is much easier today than ever. Just about every financial company offers unsecured credit cards. In selecting a credit card, there are some tips that consumers should use when selecting credit cards.

In selecting credit cards, keep in mind that ‘more is not better’ here! One or two credit cards are enough for anyone! You typically need those to establish your credit line, to use as proof of identification and make the process of obtaining airline reservations and rentals simple and easy and for making purchases on the Internet. If you find yourself with five or six cards ranging from Visa to American Express to heaven knows what - you have the potential of overextending your credit line. An easy way to determine this is to review your current payment history and see if you are paying most credit cards in full every month. If you aren’t, consider reducing the number of credit cards down to one or two by paying off and closing some accounts. Your credit will still be in tact and it’s not as much temptation to overspend.

In selecting credit cards, whether you begin with no credit cards or if you are selecting which ones to close;, both situations will require the same information. Everyone can benefit from keeping these few points in mind when choosing credit cards and choosing the most efficient credit cards for your needs.

These are important questions to consider when choosing a credit card:

* What is the credit card’s monthly interest?

* Is there an annual fee?

* Will my credit limit increase with time and responsibility?

* What is the beginning limit?

* Does this credit card company offer rewards such as cash back, frequent flyer miles, merchandise or other benefits?

* If I pay the balance in full on the credit card can I avoid paying interest?

* Can I make payments over the Internet, at my local bank or by telephone?

Every credit card company makes this information public knowledge, so it’s easy for you to get the answers when selecting a credit card. If you pick up a credit card application or get one in the mail, give call the credit card company’s customer service line. Get the answers to your credit card questions and then carefully compare your choices.

With so many credit card companies to choose from, you don’t have to settle for an interest rate of 21.9% - that’s way too high for anybody! Look for a credit card offering a rate around 9.9% or 10.9%. Evaluate all the factors when selecting a credit card that best match your needs. Invest in your future by checking all your choices carefully before you make a final selection. Know as much as possible about the credit card companies you are reviewing. Remember: they want your business as much as you want a reliable credit card. Selecting a credit card carefully will be adding an investment to your finances.

Arriving on the scene in 1978, Animal House is the blockbuster frat house comedy that rewrote all the rules and created a generation of filmmakers hoping to replicate its comic genius. Original Saturday Night Live cast member John Belushi turned in a breakout film performance that made him a comedy rock star, propelling him to further fame with the release of Blues Brothers (1980). Tim Matheson also has his breakout role in the cult classic which features appearances by actors Mark Metcalf (”the Maestro” from Seinfeld), Donald Sutherland, and Kevin Bacon.

The film is set at fictional Faber College in the 1960s. Two incoming freshmen roommates, Larry Kroger (Tom Hulce) and Kent Dorfman (Stephen Furst), visit the various fraternities on campus in an effort to find a good group with which to socialize. But the two get more than they bargain for when the meet the guys of Delta House - a ragtag bunch of beer-swilling, womanizing, party animals. The group is the complete opposite of another campus fraternity, Omega House, headed by the snide, condescending preppies Greg Marmalard (James Daughton), Doug Neidermeyer (Mark Metcalf), and Chip Diller (Kevin Bacon). Favorites of Dean Wormer, the Omega House continually taunts Delta House and conspires with Dean Wormer to have the members of Delta expelled and their fraternity banned.

Leading the charge for Delta House is John “Bluto” Blutarsky (John Belushi), ladies man Eric “Otter” Stratton (Tim Matheson), and Donald “Boon” Schoenstein (Peter Riegert). Pledging Delta House, Larry and Kent are given the nicknames, Pinto and Flounder. Brought into the fold, they witness the true diversity of characters they are now brothers with. Otter seduces Dean Wormer’s wife, and Bluto spits egg on Greg Marmalard while Boon and his girlfriend work through their problems.

Things go well for the men of Delta House until Dean Wormer calls them into his office and places them on “Double Secret Probation”. With Omega and Wormer aligned against them, Delta House is kicked off campus and its members expelled. But the great men of Delta refuse to go down without a fight. With the Homecoming parade set to begin, they unleash a fury of revenge on Wormer and company…

At the conclusion of the film, we learn of the whereabouts of all the various characters. The timeless humor of this film makes it no wonder that it has ascended to cult classic status. An original and witty comedy wielding a trailblazing influence on teen/college comedies, Animal House has earned its place in the hallowed halls of American cinematic classics…
