“I sit here before my computer, Amiguita, my altar on top of the monitor with the Virgen de Coatlalopeuh candle and copal incense burning. My companion, a wooden serpent staff with feathers, is to my right while I ponder the ways metaphor and symbol concretize the spirit and etherealize the body. The Writing is my whole life, it is my obsession. This vampire which is my talent does not suffer other suitors. Daily I court it, offer my neck to its teeth. This is the sacrifice that the act of creation requires, a blood sacrifice. For only through the body, through the pulling of flesh, can the human soul be transformed. And for images, words, stories to have this transformative power, they must arise from the human body--flesh and bone--and from the Earth's body--stone, sky, liquid, soil. This work, these images, piercing tongue or ear lobes with cactus needle, are my offerings, are my Aztecan blood sacrifices.” ― Gloria E. Anzaldúa, Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza

SMPTE COLOR BARS


The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, an organized group of professionals specializing in workings of the motion-image industry, utilized the color bar to measure appropriate input and output of any signals being telegraphed to one's vision box; this measurement could reveal if there had been any tampering with the programming and thereby allow for the rectification and readjustment of any alterations. If there has been any tampering with your programming, please contact the nearest office of Homeland Safenet. Thank you. You may return to your show(s).
