No, it has nothing to do with devious psychosexual issues. This taboo is much more terrifying. It is the taboo against talking or thinking about The Other. The Other? The Other has many names—the subconscious, hyperspace, Alien Dream Time, the Shadow—and the reason why it is the #1 taboo, is because the veils hiding The Other from us are thinning. We are fast approaching a day when The Other will be in our bedrooms, on our streets, everywhere revealed. It is fear over this impending epic shift that has created this taboo. It is our destiny to commune with The Other, nothing can stop it, but how we commune, and what communion looks like are up to us. The process is in high gear, the veils are very thin, and admittedly, The Other is familiar, weird and dangerous—beautiful/scary/hopeful—not much different than the world we think we know so well. Phaze is for your edifi cation and amusement. Phaze is also meant to shake things up. This taboo must be broken.

Life? Death? Where does all the sewage go? Is a question so Big ‘n Dangerous that religion has run from it like a plague. Philosophy/academia have betrayed their very nature by avoiding it. As for Joe and Jane Six-Pack, they’ve buried their heads in a TV, hoping to escape the mere thought of it. And the most Big ‘n Dangerous Question is . Why is the world so weird? People speak of Intelligent Design and sensible quantum realms (well at least down to the electron), but no one speaks of The Weird World. Weirdness doesn’t aid survival or evolution. Doesn’t make anyone smarter. Weirdness won’t solve any problems, yet it’s present everywhere, in everything. Why? Why do people see wisdom-spewing bipedal boxes and munchkin janitors claiming to be from the Klab Nebula? Why DejaVu? Why do we worship metaphors? Why bumble bees, platypuses? Why magick? 12 Phaze II 13 Why is the moon exactly 1/400th the diameter of the sun, and orbiting at just the right distance, that when the moon eclipses our star, day turns to night? Why? The necktie dates back to an ancient Canaanite ritual—the old noose around the neck (WE OWN YOU!)—and the United States Military is headquartered in a giant pentagram (THE MOST OCCULT SYMBOL THERE IS!)—and everyone just accepts these as normal. Why so much cultural weirdness? Why a Burning Bush, prophets, messiahs? Why? Because we live in a Salvador Dali/M.C. Escher painting with an epic space jam fl owing from every horizon, and if that weren’t enough, the entire Jungian Archetype is boogying at our side like there’s no tomorrow. That’s right, we live in a Surreal Empire brimming with irony where the only law is pirate law. Anything is possible. Everything is everything. There is no end. Melting Clocks. Up is Down. Non-elcudian space. (‘IS’ is the primal binder, the phantom qualifi er. ‘IS’ is ultimate relativity. The word instantly limits a statement, like a restrictor plate, but speaking without it, one either sounds like a mega genius or suffering poet. I am neither, so I use it.) And of all the rampant weirdness is the weirdest thing of all: Love. Galloping herds of day-glow Yetis don’t compare. Love negates all theories. Love transcends mind and matter. Love gives us the courage to jump. It justifi es life. Love makes us go further. It also erects mountains of fear, it clouds our senses, makes us do things we normally would never do. Love has caused me to enter the Coffee Sack with a rose clutched behind my back and with a letter in my pocket that confesses my affection for a soul who slayed me at fi rst sight. But this love/fear matrix stymied me for four months, held destiny at bay as I journeyed through the darkness of rejection, the fear of it being over with one crushing ‘Not Interested.’ And then I’d never be able to 14 Alexi K. Mersentes come in here again to savor the earthy elixirs. The corporate java around the corner would be my only option. I’m taking a huge risk. Love is great and all, but coffee is happiness. My hands are cold as sliced cow tongue, mouth fi lled with glue. Thorns from the single yellow rose (for friendship) pierce my fi nger pads. Something fl oats up my nose. I dare not pick. A tiny pop echoes around my sinuses. My eyes water. I hear cellophane crumbling. The walls warp. The fl oor bows and buckles. I see the world sideways. Jim, the barista behind the counter, turns to taffy. He instantly snaps back to his non-taffy state. “Let go,” he pleads in his feminine way. He holds the top of my coffee, I the bottom. “I messed up. It’s not decaf!” I release the cup. The object of my affection is nowhere in site. Now sirens are going off in my head. I’ve done six dry runs. Extrapolated a 99.99% guarantee that she’d be at the register. She was even there 80 seconds ago when I did my fi nal external pass-by. But now she is not. What ‘is’ matters more than what ‘should,’ even if it ‘shouldn’t.’ Then she appears through swinging doors, a trainee in tow. The trainee is the .001% gunning down my statistical 100% guarantee. Her name is Jaz. She’s athletic, small, and lean with a dark brown mane streaked with bronze, is sometimes bi-spectacled, more than a bit elfi sh, and is the perfect melding of cute beauty, brains, and comic book store/vintage chic. And the clincher that won her my Most Desirable: She’s a hardcore gamer. Computer. Consol. Hologame. Loves it all. She even vacationed in South Korea, the Mecca of gaming. The day she walked into my store and bought three MetaSledge fi gures (from the Hologame of the same name), was the day I decided destiny had fi nally assigned me a cosmic lover. “Hi,” she mouths and goes about her duty. James hands me my reengineered Latte. After a bout of hypertension, I realized that if I was going to drink fi ve cups of Phaze II 15 Joe a day, an excuse to bask in Jaz’s glory, some of them better be decaffeinated. I wave my memory stick. Transaction complete. (I’m not one of those chumps, who for anemic tax breaks and free groceries, succumbed to the Hex Implant, which allows one to simply wave their wrist and

Since the work of J.J. Heckel (1846-1849), the number of valid species has increased significantly and the systematic status of many of the species has changed, and reorganization and updating of the published information has become essential. Here we take the opportunity to provide a new and updated checklist of freshwater fishes of Iran based on literature and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history and new fish collections. This article lists 288 species in 107 genera, 28 families, 22 orders and 3 classes reported from different Iranian basins. However, presence of 23 reported species in Iranian waters needs confirmation by specimens.

Its mean- ing must be sought for in the light thrown upon it by the con- dition and circumstances of its readers, by the author's inspired purpose, and by those current beliefs and traditions that not only influenced the fashion which his visions themselves took, but also and especially determined the form of this literary composition in which he has given a record of his visions. These facts will explain what might seem the disproportionate space which I have given to some topics in the following Intro- ductory Studies.

TO CAROLYN FOSTER STICKNEY FOREWORD It has been my happy fortune to have made the acquaintance of the gifted author of this book. From time to time she was kind enough to confide to me its progress. When the manuscript was completed I was privileged to go over it, and the hours so spent were of unbroken interest and pleasure. What especially touched and concerned me was, of course, the Japanese characters depicted, the motives of these actors in their respective roles, and other Japanese incidents connected with the story. I am most agreeably impressed with the remarkable in- sight into, and the just appreciation of, the Japanese spirit displayed by the author. While the story itself is her creation, the local col- oring, the moral atmosphere called in to weave the thread of the tale, are matters belonging to the do- main of facts, and constitute an amount of useful and authentic information. Indeed, she has taken un- usual pains to be correctly informed about the people of the country and their customs, and in this she has succeeded to a very eminent degree.
