These Dream Life poems are examples of Life poems about Dream. These are the best examples of Dream Life poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
Where cradled canyons sing
Of ebony wood in the forest
There lies a gurgling spring
Where cockcrows sing their chorus
To the melody of singsong birds
There I've concealed my sensuous words
Filled with befitted signs
The saccharine whiff of my designs
Come to me my mortal youth
To the wild realm of your truth
Where nymphs and gnomes abound
For the earth is filled with weeping
And only your tears be found
Where the fogs of night are fountains
Spills of glistened moon ignite
By distant silhouette mountains
We dance with passion of fight
Entwining ancient stance
Mingling hand in hand we dance
Till the mountains smile on high
Near and far we spring
To pursue the realest of dreams
While the world cries at its seams
Anxious in trouble to cling
Come to me my mortal youth
To the wild realm of your truth
Where nymphs and gnomes abound
For the earth is filled with weeping
And only your tears be found
To where the ridges merry make
From the beaks of wooden bright
In sparkly pools the ghouls awake
That scarce to stir our night
We watch for seekers down under
Muttering secrets in their soul
We bid them lucks of shivers
Dipping gently in
From reeds that hide a tear of a foal
Under the gentle rivers
Come to me my mortal youth
To the wild realm of your truth
Where nymphs and gnomes abound
For the earth is filled with weeping
And only your tears be found
Far away she shall ever churn
The taciturn eyed
She'll listen no more to turn
To the working mills beside
Or the scrubbing of the barn
May peace weave in her song
She shall wave in the yarn
To a haven known as Belong
Come to me my mortal youth
To the wild realm of your truth
Where nymphs and gnomes abound
For the earth is filled with weeping
And only your tears be found
For she comes, the mortal youth
To the wild realm of her truth
Where nymphs and gnomes abound
For the earth is filled with weeping
And only her tears be found
I was a fool.
I was a fool searching for reasons why.
Reasons why I
Grin with sudden boy giggles
As if Karma was my DJ,
Playing cotton candy woven riffs
Of rhythmic whispers
I savor dark chocolate Peanut M&Ms
Tasting her sincerity
With each Pacific Ocean observance
Her dialect portrays within
My sunset smiles
I was a fool.
A slightly nervous kid
At his first Sadie Hawkins dance
Holding a paper cup
filled with swirly colored punch...
...not spiked
Futile attempts to stifle these vibrating legs
From crippling my exhaling urges
I was a fool.
Searching for irreplaceable reasons
Why my smiles became
An 11 year old innocence
I smile.
I blush.
I embrace a new dream
Written on embossed bucket list
To hold her
To hold her
To hold her
towards sunrises' incipience
One day
With no reasons why

Together As One
To dream as one.
When we dream we dream as one. When we laugh we laugh as one. We have a life
together that compliments one another. We have a love that is like no other it's as
one. We reach for the stars and look for the moon. We support and care for one
another on our journeys as our journeys cross paths.
We listen with excitement to each other's dreams. To understand and encourage
comes from the heart. Knowing with certainty that we deserve the love we give and
receive as we are as one. What is wonderful for one is so for the other for our life
path is the same. Knowing one so well is to know one's self without a doubt.
Dreams that come together both big and small shared by knowing hearts that want
the same want are as one. A love so strong can feel and guide with the stars and
moon. Set in motion a force together nothing can sever but blessed be a dream
together as one!
Dream, laugh, and love we do as one for we became one. Together we reach for the
stars and the moon as we share the paths we take. Our journey takes us many
directions to which we share our delight. A journey worth taking is a journey worth
sharing…sharing as one!
Debbie Knapp
(a conversational collaboration with Christine Ueri)
"remember the dream I had when we were 10?
(waves and waves of cornflowers everywhere)
about the boy and the closet?
(sunflowers, circle, glass house?....closet, yes)
cornflower blue
(the closet was cornflower blue?)
the light in that dream was cornflower blue
(the air, the atmospheric light?)
yes, especially in the closet
I had that dream for so long
I'll never forget
little boy blue and the kingfishers --
the blue and white china plates
with the bridge and the lovers; the two doves in the willow tree,
that made me look for japanese letters....horse.
the funny things we do as children
(you are writing a poem....)
catch the words, my love
(you already wrote a poem up there; bridge it together --
I dried cornflowers with dandelions in a blue and white book; but it wasn't a dream.
Well, in a way it was, because at the time, I was floating in the clouds)
he wore a blue and white striped top in my dream
and I remember him
when I look at the sky,
the clouds and the golden sun --
I caught the words!
(yes! did you string them all together?)
not yet!"
August 29th, 2012
Dreams come in many forms
Some are cold and others warm
Some play like a movie in black and white
And some are no less than a guiding light
Some are visions of times to come
Some just simply leave us numb
Some we remember and some we forget
Some we cherish and some we regret
Some we just can't help but treasure
Some give us embarrassing pleasure
I close my eyes and dream of you
All the things I've put you through
See I had a dream that went sour
An awful dream of money and power
Then I learned one cold hard day
Some dreams take years to pay
Sometimes reality is clearly seen
Another will soon touch my dream
As these tears run down my face
Some dreams are just to good to waste
I can only imagine the pain in you
Trying hard to be faithful and true
Sweetheart some dreams are to hard to play
As I slowly start to fade away
A single year has came and went
I have seven more at eighty-five percent
Sometimes reality is sad as can be
Sweetheart I want you to let go of me
I learned love is worth more than gold
You deserve somebody to hold
This type relationship is totally insane
I want you to free yourself of my pain
If our love is truly meant to be
My dream will bring you back to me
Strength of character is hard to find
As I treasure yours please treasure mine
I believe our love can break the mold
Be a timeless romantic story told
About two lovers who broke apart
In order to save each others hearts
And let their love be a miracle seen
By having faith to touch a dream
I wish I could walk without feeling pain
I wish I could live my life again.
I dream of a time when I could run like a deer
I could jump like a gazelle with nothing to fear.
I could climb like cat and swim like fish
I can not do these things and yet I can wish.
I can dream of a day many years gone by
I could dream and pray for that bus to pass by.
I could dream my mum missed it and didn't get on
I could dream she forgot my vaccination had not been done.
I can sit here and daydream day after day and wish that jab had gone right
I can dream I am fit, but I'm not, it went wrong, and now I have learned how to fight.
I can if not careful, wish and dream my whole life away
But there is no point in that, that's what I say.
But the vaccine went wrong, and no wishes or dreams can it change
I just have to get on with my life, there is no sale or return or exchange.
Wishes are for kids and dreams are for bed
I wish I was a kid and could lay down my head.
I am tired and fed up and the wind is so cold
I wish I did not suddenly feel old.
I am reading this back and thinking Boy, this isn't me
I am going to get up and with a certainty
I am going to fix that toilet for once and for all
Even if I have to rip it off, that bloody bathroom wall.
Self Pity is over and I feel a bit of a nit
And my last dream is I am back in bed with brad Pitt.
In my minds eyes
My enemies are my friends
and my "Friends"
that helped me in the beginning
might soon be the cause of my ends.
In my minds eyes
I try to be the sunlight
during my loved ones rain
Thinking I'm the joy
But in reality
I'm the pain
In my minds eye
Am I the reason you failed
life's test cuz I didnt teach you
Or help guide you enough like the rest?
In my minds eyes
Did I only dirty your soul
more and make it rough
When I thought I was cleaning you
by showering you with my love?
In my minds eye
I'm rich in live but poor in spirit
Let me mess up just once
Just like "CNN" every hour on the hour
I'm guaranteed to hear it
If this is a dream
I'm ready to wake up
Somebody please ring the alarm.
There is a place you can go that is full of only love and Warmth .
you will be surrounded by a light that shines from the Heavens ,
Sprinkles of Silver and Gold.
This place is filled with brilliant colors of Purple , vibrant Gold, all colors.
not one Color is less significant then another ,
for every color is equal here .
This place is surrounded by the beauty of different Flowers.
All flowers have significance here . No one Flower is better then another .
All Flowers are equal here .
It is important you know , you can cry here , and should cry as often as needed .
For the tears will cleanse your Soul and give the Flowers water to grow.
No one Tear is insignificant here , every tear has value and not one is better then another .
money holds no value , Where you live , what you own, has no significance here .
You will be surrounded by a beautiful light that shines from the Heavens .
A shining warm light will encircle you and allow nothing to hurt you .
Hate will be shed at the door light a old jacket of no use.
There is a place of beauty and Worth.
This place will not be found on Earth .
It is a place where no one person is better then another .
Upon a fragile thread
Hangs the soldiers dream
Of surviving another day
On the battlefield of death
While on the other side
A young man straps on a bomb
Saying goodbye to his mother
With no fear of death
He heads out to take his life, as well as, the lives of others
In the name of his God
Led blindly down the path of deception
By perhaps the most famous man in the world
Bin Laden believes so strongly in his faith
That he will sacrifice any life necessary
Any life but his own that is
While hiding like a coward in the dark
Nothing more than a rat
Scurrying between caverns of nowhere
Posting his video's to prove
That brave souls die for the glory of a coward
Bin Laden has no personal belief in his own teachings
His followers see him as a "Prophet of Allah"
They proudly give their lives for him
Believing in glory all the way to hell
What meaning can be found in this?
As my own son prepares to go to Afghanistan
Not long after returning from Iraq
Just a boy who has been thrust into the responsibility of killing
So our dreams may come true
I do have a dream
I dream that hero's will be honored
Even those who are misled and suicidal
For in their hearts they believe
Strongly enough to give their lives
I do have a dream
I dream that cowards will die in their caves of refuge
And be eaten by the rats with which they dwell
I do have a dream
I dream that one day all men will realize
That through the "Blood of Christ"
All dreams can be answered!
For Carol's contest.
Our hearts were a veritable slow dance
And I didn't have to put my baby
In the corner
Our retinas
became diamond forged binds
In serenity's lock
Your tear ducts within our wishing wells
Our flesh
Bringing lukewarm elasticity
To gentle boil
Every graceful thrust
Mimicking fireplace embers
Under cabin's winter moon
Until my deep sigh
Embedded paragraphs
Within "Dear John" parchment
At least
Trinity's hourglass
Permitted me to sing I love you choruses
Before your hearts' phone line

Mitral Regurgitation
(Mitral Insufficiency)
|Mitral Valve Regurgitation
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
- Mitral valve prolapse—abnormal closure of the valve with protrusion of a leaflet tip backward into the left atrium, causing it to leak. This may be congenital or acquired.
- Rheumatic fever —infectious disease can afflict the inside of the heart, leading to scarring of the heart's valves. Rheumatic fever used to be a common cause of mitral valve damage, but it is not common today in the United States.
- Heart attack —reduced blood supply to the heart can weaken the small muscles that hold the mitral valve in place, causing it to leak
- Congenital deformity—several different types of congenital heart defects distort the mitral valve
- Heart muscle disease—many types of disease can weaken the heart muscle, stretching out the mitral valve ring so that the valve no longer closes. Among these causes are alcohol, certain drugs, radiation , muscular dystrophies, malnutrition, cancer , and many inflammatory and metabolic disorders.
Risk Factors
- A history of rheumatic fever or other serious infectious disease
- Inflammatory diseases such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis
- Storage diseases such as hemochromatosis and glycogen storage disease
- Heart disease
- Muscle disease
- Malnutrition
- Alcoholism
- Radiation exposure
- Exposure to certain drugs such as lithium, sulfonamides, cancer chemotherapy , and phenothiazines
- Chronic, progressive fatigue
- Shortness of breath, especially with exertion
- Worsening shortness of breath when you lie down
- New associated palpitations or racing heart rate, which may suggest the development of an abnormal heart rhythm
- Chest x-ray
- Electrocardiogram
- Cardiac ultrasound ( echocardiogram )
- Cardiac catheterization
Treat Underlying Disease
- Prevent heart disease by controlling weight and blood pressure, exercising, eating heart-healthy foods, and watching your cholesterol levels
- Avoid contact with streptococcal diseases including strep throat , tonsillitis, and scarlet fever
- Avoid IV drug use
- Limit alcohol intake

Minstrel's Songs a Hit
Waterdeep -- The Three Towers performances club in Dock Ward has been jammed for the last three nights with enthusiastic crowds roaring applause for traveling minstrel Nymbrar "Nighteye" Shatterslee. His 'Crying To My Harp' show brought so many folk to the club that windows were propped open to allow those standing shoulder-to-shoulder in the alleys outside ri hear (and prevent a probable riot).
'Crying To My Harp' is a sequence of satirical ballads that begins by poking fun at stock characteristics of street folk everywhere, but swiftly turns to viciously criticizing some known antics of certain Waterdhavian nobles. It was reportedly greeted with "roars of approval" from patrons, who threw so many coins that Towers staff ran about collecting them in baskets normally used for serving hot garlic-buttered 'long loaves' to club tables.
Nighteye is believed to have now left the city after bands of 'strolling thugs' crisscrossed Dock Ward asking after his whereabouts. These 'fists for hire' are widely thought to have been retained for this service by noble patrons, but they customarily refuse to divulge the identities of their patrons, and have thus far refused to do so. Some nobles are known to have complained to the Lords about Nighteye, requesting he be hunted down, arrested, and punished. Mirt the Moneylender stopped such proceedings cold at a revel thrown last night by the Amcathra noble family (and attended by senior members of almost all Waterdhavian noble families) by loudly commenting that such complaints are clear, 'that boot fits me' admissions of guilt on the part of the complainants -- and marks them as fools, if not worse.
The Three Towers club hosts many visiting minstrels, singers, and storytellers, notably Rymrick the Bawd, Dulchaesen, and the Bell-Dwarves Three. It stands on a corner in Dock Ward -- south-front Watchrun Alley, east-front Drawn Sword Alley, and north-front Leera's Alley. On nights when no performer is hosted, the staff (led by "Waterfall" Baerle Waszunn, so-called for the tears her sad songs can evoke) present a Rounde of Ballades.

For many of the California residence years he would not only teach but average flying almost 100,000 miles per year to speak on the weekends in twenty different states. His speaking has taken him to all but two of our United States. He has spoken to youth rallies, singles seminars, high school assemblies, leadership conferences, administration workshops and commencements. He was a featured speaker for the Texas State Future Homemakers Convention, the University of Southern California Leadership Conference and the University of California-Santa Barbara Leadership Conference.
He was honored as "Youth Minister of the Year" in October 1969, by Lubbock Christian University. He was honored with the 1969 Lubbock Future Homemakers of America Award for inspirational service to the organization. He received the 1971 Lubbock Classroom Teachers Association "Friend Of Education" Award which is given to the person who, though not engaged in public school education, contributes the most to educational goals and ideals.
Don was selected as one of the outstanding teachers at Pepperdine University in 1981, chosen by the Student Government Association. He was made an honorary member of the Golden Key National Honor Society in 1991 and was presented the Christian Service Award by Pepperdine University in 1991. He was honored with a Distinguished Christian Service Award from Harding University in 2005 and was honored by Abilene Christian University in 2005 as one of the 100 alumni who had done the most to change the world.
Don retired for residence in Cyril, in 2002.

Last year, participants slept outdoors and ate from clean garbage cans. Homeless people shared stories of what it really means to be homeless. The current crisis in the pulp and paper industry has been building for decades. While part of this is due to the way our society now views much of the manufacturing sector, pulp and paper is particularly affected.

The process essentially turns trash – organic waste that ranges from leaves to sewage sludge to animal carcasses – into treasure. And it has large-scale composters seeing green, both environmentally and financially.
"Our landfills are starting to fill up, and transportation to other states is expensive, so many municipalities and farmers have decided to compost and market it to home gardeners as a soil amendment," Hutchinson says.
That need is what drew Michael Conway of the Bethlehem, Pa., Recycling Bureau, to the compost school last summer. Annually the city collects 20,000 tons of leaf and yard waste from residents. When Conway and his colleagues decided to expand their composting capacity, they knew just where to turn for help: The Maine Compost School.
"It's known across the country," Conway says. "This is the primary compost school. It's that well-known and the reputation is that high."
The school is an outgrowth of the Maine Compost Team, which includes representatives from the Maine Department of Agriculture, Food and Rural Resources; the Maine Department of Environmental Protection; the State Planning Office and UMaine Cooperative Extension. When the team came together in 1991, there was no such thing as a compost industry in Maine.
The team was providing assistance to communities, businesses and farms trying to reduce, reuse and recycle their organic waste. Over time, more and more compost operations started with the team's help. Training of the operators was done on an individual, as-needed basis. As the industry grew, the need for training also grew, to the point where individual instruction at each compost site no longer made sense. In 1996, the team decided it was time to look into offering classes on a regular basis.
After several months of preparing the agenda, planning program details and development of hands-on activities, they were ready to offer the program to Maine composters. But the team was shocked to discover the demand was not just in Maine. Students started showing up from all over the country and the world.
Over time, the school's curriculum grew to include marketing and networking techniques, in addition to recipe-building, safety and vector management.
"We've had a shift in the type of people – from those who wanted to know what composting is to municipalities interested in waste management and people who are interested in starting their own business. They see this as a viable business," Hutchinson says.
To that end, the team started bringing in industry leaders to serve on the faculty, such as Wes Kinney of Kinney Compost in Knox, Maine, and Carlos Quijano of Coast of Maine Organic Products in Portland, whom Hutchinson calls "one of the premier marketers of compost in New England, if not the United States."
Today, the school is internationally known. The 2008 summer session brought in students from Puerto Rico, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New York, Rhode Island and Maine. Since its founding, it has attracted people from 48 states and 28 countries.
The lectures are held in Highmoor's barn, while the hands-on classes take place in a clearing down a dirt road that winds through the farm's acreage. A recent $56,000 Maine Economic Improvement Fund grant provided an asphalt pad and buffer areas to catch any leachate that may run off from the long compost piles, called windrows, or the piles of raw materials, such as chicken manure, apple pomace, leaves and wood chips.
This is the learning laboratory, where students can experiment with different recipes and "ingredients." Here, the team has successfully turned everything from horse carcasses to a dolphin – yes, a dolphin from the University of New England that had washed ashore – into "black gold." And because the folks at the Maine Compost School really know what they're doing, the only off-putting odor in the air comes from the pile of chicken manure. Everything else smells like moist soil.
Image Description: At the Harraseeket Inn in Freeport, Maine, food waste is collected and trucked to a local farm for composting.

Click to listen to Rush's 'Headlong Flight'
"Headlong Flight," the first single from Rush's 20th studio album Clockwork Angels, is one of the trio's most hard-charging numbers in recent years. "'Headlong Flight' was one of those songs that was a joy to write and record from beginning to end," says frontman Geddy Lee. "Alex [Lifeson] and I had blast jamming in my home studio one day before the second leg of the Time Machine tour, and I did not revisit that jam until a year later. Alex and I assembled the song to be an instrumental and its original title was 'Take That Lampshade Off Yo Head!," but once we saw the lyrics Neil [Peart] had written, I knew that the spirit of the lyrics matched the instrumental perfectly and it was just a matter of making them fit and writing the melodies."
Clockwork Angels, which was produced by the band and Nick Raskulinecz, will be in stores on June 12th, but you can preview "Headlong Flight" here today.

With three points now separating three teams at the top of the Ontario Hockey League's West Division, time is tight.
Sault Ste. Marie's 6-5 win over Plymouth on Friday - coupled with Sarnia's 4-3 loss in Ottawa - separates Plymouth, Sault Ste. Marie and Sarnia by three points.
Detroit Red Wing draft Ryan Sproul scored twice and added three assists to lead the Greyhounds to the victory over Plymouth before 2,322 at Compuware Arena.
Plymouth (now 25-15-5-4, 59 points) is in first place, followed by Sault Ste. Marie (27-19-2-2, 58 points) and Sarnia (27-19-0-3, 57 points).
Besides Sproul's pair (15-16) for Sault Ste. Marie, Andrew Fritsch scored twice (16-17) and Brandon Alderson (21) and Michael Schumacher (14) one each. Plymouth got two goals and an assist from Vince Trocheck (30-31) and singles from Ryan Hartman (20), Gianluca Curcuruto (6) and Mitchell Heard (6).
The Whalers raced to a 3-1 lead in the first period on goals by Hartman (loose puck at the right circle at 3:40), Curcuruto on a power play at 7:41 (blast from the the high slot) and Trocheck at 11:30 (right circle, set up by Cody Payne) sandwiched around Sproul's first of the night at 11:04 (blast from the high slot off a face-off win in the Plymouth zone).
Soo head coach Sheldon Keefe pulled starting goaltender Matt Murray after Trocheck's goal in the first period in favor of 17-year-old goaltender Justin Nichols and Nichols went the rest of the way, stopping 34-of-36 shots to record the victory.
Late in the first period, Schumacher cut the Plymouth lead to 3-2 at 17:03. rifling the puck under the cross bar from the left circle. The Whalers led, 3-2, after forty minutes.
Plymouth head coach Mike Vellucci pulled starting goaltender Matt Mahalak after the first period in favor of Alex Nedeljkovic, who stopped 21-of-25 shots the rest of the way.
The Soo scored the only goals of the second period - both on the power play - to lead, 4-3 after forty minutes. Fritsch tied the game on a deflection at 6:39 from Sproul's shot and then Sproul ripped a shot from the point on a four-on-three power play at 19:37.
Trocheck tied the game for Plymouth at 4-4 at 3:30 of the third period (set up by Zach Lorentz and scoring on a quick backhand), but Alderson scored at 6:51 (hard shot from the right circle) to give the 'Hounds a 5-4 lead.
Plymouth appeared to tie the game at 5-5 on a re-direct by Lorentz at 11:22, but the goal was waved off by referees Jason Goldenberg and Mike Cairns because of goaltender interference - even though no Plymouth penalty was called on the play.
Fritsch scored the eventual game-winner on a power play at 17:20 (re-directing a shot off the glass behind the Plymouth goal and scoring from the left side of the net) to give Sault Ste. Marie a 6-4 lead.
The Whalers never quit in the period, pressing to a 22-13 shots-on-goal advantage in the third period.
Plymouth head coach Mike Vellucci pulled goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic in the final minute and Heard scored on a backhand through traffic scored with 12 seconds left. The Whalers actually had two more shots in the final seconds after calling timeout, but the 'Hounds held on for the win.
Plymouth outshot Sault Ste. Marie, 46-39.
The Whalers host Peterborough on Saturday night at 7:05 p.m. at Compuware Arena (6:45 p.m., 88.1 FM WSDP).

TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) -- Daytona 500 winner Matt Kenseth won Sunday at Talladega Superpeedway, where a last-lap crash turned defending NASCAR champion Tony Stewart upside down.
Stewart was leading the final lap but had no drafting partner as the field closed in on him. He was looking for help when he misjudged how much room he had and turned down in front of Michael Waltrip.
Waltrip hooked Stewart's bumper, and it triggered a massive accident that sent Stewart's car sailing on its side over the field. NASCAR threw the caution and Kenseth coasted to the victory.
Stewart was helped from his car by safety workers and waved to the crowd to signify he was OK. He said he caused the accident.
Jeff Gordon finished second and Kyle Busch was third.

Speaking to coaches and executives today, hearing rumblings of Wade Phillips possibly landing as coordinator in HOU w/ Kubiak as head coach. Many, myself included, figured the Texans collapse, including an on-field fight, would lead to a taskmaster taking over as head coach...But from what I've heard this morning, that might not be the end result there.Jason La Canfora (NFL.com) Twitter
Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but it sounds as though Kubes is saying that Rick Dennison is OC in name only: (on people saying that he takes the blame for everyone else when the play calls are bad) "What I do as a coordinator is I do the game plans. I go out there to cal the game, but I take input from everybody. I take input from (offensive line coach) John Benton, Rico (offensive coordinator Rick Dennison) and I work together. I take input from all of the coaches. I think calling games in this league is about everybody putting their brains together. It really doesn't matter who actually says, 'okay, this is the play we're going to run.' I think we all come to that conclusion and what we want to do in situations and we go forward with that. I think being good and to me, there's been a lot of good things on offense, comes from a lot of guys working together. It's not just about the guy who sends the play in."
It wouldn't be Christmas without a tenuous allusion to "A Christmas Carol." Here's Battle Red Blog's worthless take on it, tweaked as a prediction post for Texans-Broncos.
There has been lots of debate between Texans fans if Bill Cowher is the right guy for Houston should Gary Kubiak get a pink slip. We take a look at the reasons both for and against him in Houston.
Bob McNair continues to confuse and frustrate Texans fans with his satisfaction in the current regime.
Do Texans fans approve of the job Gary Kubiak has done?
Dear Bob--It's time for Frank Bush to go.

À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
The small town of Haines is as close to Northern Exposure as you can get without the television script and is where you will find the world-famous Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve. Home to nesting bald eagles and a variety of indigenous wildlife, a visit here offers you the greatest likelihood of sighting not only Bald Eagles, but moose and perhaps bears as well, in their natural habitat.
The Preserve encompasses 48,000 acres of wilderness and this excursion allows you to access the road-less portion of it in a specially designed, flat-bottom riverboat as you travel for miles along different channels of the Chilkat River. These boats are specially designed for this silt-laden river and are equipped with eco-friendly, four-stroke outboard motors. This allows for your guide to usually hold against the current or turn around and go back when the depth of the water allows - giving you the very best photo opportunities.
The animals here are used to human presence, so be sure to bring your camera along for this unparalleled wilderness adventure in the heart of this amazing Preserve. Surrounded by towering mountains, cascading waterfalls, hanging glaciers and pristine, unspoiled nature, you will be treated to a truly unforgettable experience. While the boats are uncovered for better wildlife viewing and photographic opportunities, extra jackets and large waterproof, windproof lap blankets keep you warm and dry.
Join your hosts at their private property, where you can enjoy beverages and sit around the campfire and visit with your hosts and fellow adventurers, or relax inside the covered and heated pavilion.
Following your break, you will join a waiting coach and transfer back to the pier in Haines where your tour concludes.
Please note: This moderate activity tour includes a limited amount of walking; however, participants must be able to make their own way on and off the touring vessel. The tour is not available to wheelchair guests and those with mobility concerns are cautioned to evaluate their personal level of stamina and ability. Casual, weather appropriate layered clothing and flat, comfortable walking shoes are suggested. Jackets, hats and gloves are provided as needed, as well as waterproof and windproof fleece lap blankets. Wildlife sightings are likely, but not guaranteed.

- About Bard
- Admission
- Academics
- Campus Life
- News & Events
I never thought I would end up on the arts side of things. What I'm planning on doing with my life is completely different than anything I would have thought of before Bard. I think the College has really changed my life in that way. It's also helped me understand how people in academia think and act and work with each other. I'm considering staying in academia to be a professor and do research. That's something else I would never have seen as an option, but Bard has shown me that these things can be really exciting.
All those jokes about Bard students always talking about Hannah Arendt or Foucault or Derrida are pretty true. The Bard community is very intellectual. Students like to learn and like to be in the classroom and to think for themselves. Socially, Bard is a good place to find really close friends. The students here are very unique in how they approach the world. There's a certain kind of person that's drawn to Bard, and that's someone that's skeptical about the world and questions the everyday, and yet is very optimistic that we can make a difference to the future.

Information Sensitivity Policy
The Information Sensitivity Policy is intended to help employees determine what information is allowed to be disclosed to non-employees, as well as the relative sensitivity of information that should not be disclosed outside of George Fox University without proper authorization.
The information covered in these guidelines includes, but is not limited to, information that is either stored or shared via any means. This includes: electronic information, information on paper, and information shared orally or visually (such as telephone and video conferencing).
It should be noted that the sensitivity level definitions were created as guidelines and to emphasize common sense steps to protect George Fox University confidential information (e.g., George Fox University confidential information should not be left unattended in conference rooms).
All George Fox University information is categorized into two main classifications:
- Public or directory information
- Protected or regulated confidential information
George Fox University public information has been declared as information accessible to the public by someone with the authority to do so and may be freely distributed without any possible liability to George Fox University or its community.
George Fox University confidential information contains all other information. It is a continuum, in that it is understood that some information is more sensitive than other information and should be protected in a more secure manner. Included is information that should be protected very closely, such as non-directory information protected by federal and state regulations (such as, but not limited to, FERPA, DMA, HIPAA, GLBA, TEACH act). If an employee is uncertain of the sensitivity of a particular piece of information or whether it is appropriate to provide it to an individual or organization, he or she should consult his or her supervisor.
This policy applies to all university-provided devices. Institutional data should not be stored on a personal computer off campus (e.g. home, office). Institutional electronic assets should be accessed via VPN or FoxFiles.
The sensitivity guidelines below provide details on how to protect information at varying sensitivity levels. Use these guidelines as a reference only.
Minimal Sensitivity (Public): General institutional and directory information
- Access: George Fox University employees, students, third-party contractors with a business need to know.
- Distribution within George Fox University: Standard inter office mail, approved electronic mail and electronic file transmission methods.
- Distribution outside of George Fox University internal mail: U.S. mail and other public or private carriers, approved electronic mail and electronic file transmission methods.
- Electronic distribution: No restrictions except that it be sent to only approved recipients.
- Storage: Keep from view of unauthorized people; erase whiteboards, do not leave items in view on tabletop via counter or windows. Machines should be administered with security in mind. Protect from loss; electronic information should have individual access controls where possible and appropriate.
- Disposal/Destruction: Deposit outdated paper information in specially marked shred bins on George Fox University premises. Electronic data should be expunged/cleared. Reliably erase or physically destroy media. Contact IT for assistance with your university-issued devices.
- Penalty for deliberate or inadvertent disclosure: Up to and including termination, possible civil and/or criminal prosecution to the full extent of the law.
- Printing: If using a network printer, retrieve the data, and do not print to public printers unless the authorized person is waiting at the printer to receive the data.
Maximum Sensitivity (Confidential): Non-directory information, including student ID
- Access: George Fox University employees and non-employees with signed FERPA policy compliance agreement and with a legitimate educational interest.
- Distribution within George Fox University: Standard interoffice mail, approved electronic mail and secure electronic file transmission methods.
- Distribution outside of George Fox University internal mail: Sent via U.S.mail or approved private carriers.
- Electronic distribution: Should be encrypted or sent via a private link to approved recipients outside of George Fox University premises using FoxFiles. Email is not considered secure.
- Storage: Individual access controls are highly recommended for electronic information.
- Disposal/Destruction: In specially marked shred bins on George Fox University premises; electronic data should be expunged/cleared. Reliably erase or physically destroy media.
- Printing: If using a network printer, retrieve the data immediately or have the authorized person available to receive and confirm printing. Do not print documents to public network printers or unattended printers once completed.
Terms and Definition
- Approved Electronic File Transmission Methods
- Includes supported FTP Internal and SFTP external clients and Web browsers.
- Approved E-Mail
- Includes all mail systems supported by the IT Department. E-mail is not encrypted and should not be considered secure.
- Approved Encrypted e-mail and files or attachments
- Includes the use of 'FoxFiles' as the primary method for sharing files or the use of PGP.
- Expunge
- To reliably erase or expunge data on a PC or Mac you must use a separate program to overwrite data. Contact IT Service Desk for assistance with your university-issued devices.
- Individual Access Controls
- Individual access controls are methods of electronically protecting files from being accessed by people other than those specifically designated by the owner.
- Encryption
- Secure George Fox University sensitive information in accordance with the Acceptable Encryption Policy. International issues regarding encryption are complex. Follow corporate guidelines on export controls on cryptography, and consult your manager and/or corporate legal services for further guidance.
- One Time Password Authentication
- Physical Security
- Physical security means either having actual possession of a computer at all times, or locking the computer in an unusable state. If it is a laptop or other portable computer, never leave it unattended in a car, conference room, hotel room or on an airplane seat, etc. Make arrangements to lock the device in a hotel safe, or take it with you. In the office, always use a lockdown cable. When leaving the office for the day, secure the laptop and any other sensitive material in a locked drawer or cabinet.
- Mobile devices and portable mass storage devices (thumb drives, MP3, etc.)
- These devices are considered non-secure, and institutional data should not be stored on such devices. Because these small devices are easily lost or stolen, they should only be used for temporary data transfer. Files should be removed from the device immediately upon use. See IT Mobile Devices and Portable Mass Storage Policy.

This is the week that us procrastinators enjoy the most, the last shopping week and weekend before Christmas.
Contrary to what a lot of folks think, the last Saturday before Christmas is actually the busiest shopping day of the year, not the day after Thanksgiving. It's desperation time for many who have not started their shopping; it's the time to pick up those extra gifts for people who gave one to you that you weren't expecting; it's the time when many items are going on one final pre-Christmas sale; it's that "I just need one more little thing" time.
Thankfully, the shopping in Valdosta is terrific nowadays with all of the retail choices we have to choose from, and for those who are that picky, they've probably already ordered from their favorite stores off the Internet anyway.
So why do I so often wait until the last minute? It's not just that I have no time, which I don't, but it's that most of the time, I either can't make up my mind and if I buy something too quickly for someone, I end up taking it back or exchanging it when newer merchandise arrives. Yes, when my daughter wanted those specific games, etc., that were going to sell out quickly, I've always gone and taken care of that ahead of time, but now that she's older, the things she likes typically aren't going to sell out and I have time to wait until the stores want to run those really big last-minute deals.
Another reason? Well, it's fun. I enjoy the rush. I enjoy the adrenaline surge of knowing that the stores are closing and you have to make up your mind and go. It's kind of like the genteel version of running with the bulls. Other shoppers are very nice but very focused and the store personnel are usually in a good mood, too, because the holidays are closer to being over.
So if you see me shopping this week or weekend, smile, wave, say hello, and join me in enjoying this most wondrous Christmas season.
Business Roundup
Shane's Rib Shack has finally found its location. They are going into the former Moe's across from Home Depot and Kohl's.
I got the mattress store name incorrect last week, so sorry, but it's Bed'R Mattress going into the old cell phone location next to the entrance of Lowndes High School.
It looks like the Lake Park YMCA is moving across the interstate into the strip center/outlet mall. They're renovating a space and will be moving in a few weeks when it's ready. The strip mall on the opposite side of I-75 is going to be torn down by a new camping business.
Up in Hahira last week for the festivities and noticed that Sew Blessed is opening a second location called Sew Blessed Quilt Shop and Design Station on Church Street. Sew Blessed already has a great business on Main Street, and thankfully, they're expanding into the quilt business as well, which means they'll have great fabric, etc.
And I have had a slew of reader questions this week, so no, the Kinderlou Forest restaurant isn't closed, although they may be closing some for the holidays; I don't know why Waffle House isn't building yet on the property they purchased on Bemiss Road this year; the site being prepared near Winn Dixie is for a new doctor's office; and yes, the construction on Patterson and Woodrow Wilson and North Oak Street is where the city is pushing through Woodrow Wilson over to connect to Gornto.
Also, a reader called this week to say the Rascals outside Lake Park is closed, again.
And I still haven't heard about the vacant site being prepared close to Fred's off Bemiss or which tire store is locating next to Chick-fil-A on Inner Perimeter, which isn't moving very fast past the site prep stage.
Exciting still to see the framework going up for the new VSU Health Sciences and Business Admin building on Patterson and the continuing construction on the SGMC patient tower.
That's it for this week, but if there's something I missed, please let me know!

Teens Model Parents' Eating Habits
Laws regulating nutrition content in school snacks may be effective, but healthy habits start at home.
Banning sugary snacks and sodas from school vending machines may help reduce obesity rates in teens and young adults, according to a study published online Monday in the journal Pediatrics, which tracked the weight and body mass indices of 6,300 middle school students in 40 states over a 5-year span.
Students in states with regulations on food sold in public school vending machines and cafeterias were less likely than their peers in other states to be overweight if those laws were strongly worded and consistently enforced from middle school through high school, the study showed.
[Read what happens when students design school lunches.]
But teaching teens to make healthy food choices starts at home, says Joan Salge Blake, a registered dietician and clinical professor at Boston University.
"Probably the most important thing is 'Monkey see, monkey do,'" she says. "They'll just eat whatever you eat."
If mom and dad grab a donut on their way out the door in the morning, or even worse, skip breakfast altogether, their teen will likely follow suit, she adds. If McDonald's is a parent's go-to dinner option after a long day at work, their children may go the same route.
But eating healthy is possible, even with the early mornings and late nights that are part of back-to-school season, Blake says.
"We talk about fast food—can cereal get any faster? That is probably the ultimate fast food in the whole wide world," she notes.
To get your teen in the habit of picking healthy snacks, stock up on fresh produce, low-fat dairy treats, and food with whole grains, and make it easily accessible for your student to grab before and after school, Blake advises.
"When they walk in the door [from school] they're starving and ready to eat anything that's not moving. What I used to do, in clear plastic, at eye level in the refrigerator, is put cut-up watermelon, cut cantaloupe, a bowl of grapes, string cheese, yogurt—so that was the first thing that they saw when they got home," she says. "They'll eat fruit, but they won't cut it up."
Take your teen grocery shopping with you and have him or her pick the fruits and vegetables, Blake says. This gives your child a little bit of independence and ownership over food selections, making him or her more likely to eat it, she adds.
[Learn how to become a healthy snacker.]
For some parents, building healthy eating habits in their high schoolers may mean changing their own habits, which can be overwhelming. Websites such as Eatright.org and Kidseatright.org, both from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, give nutrition tips for parents and teens, and include recipes ideas and instructional videos.
The MyPlate guide from the U.S. Department of Agriculture is also a good, simple visual for parents to refer to when planning meals for their teens and themselves, Blake says.

Hilldale picked the wrong time to be ineffective on offense and Sequoyah's defense had something to do with that on Friday night.
The Hornets only managed 169 yards in losing 28-0 to the Indians in game for the District 3A-7 championship at Hornet Field.
"They played well defensively," Hilldale coach Chad Kirkhart said after his Hornets dropped to 4-1 in district and 7-2 overall. "We just didn't play well and weren't able to move the football. It's hard to win when you don't score. They beat us in a lot of areas."
Sequoyah, meanwhile, also got a "victory" off the field Friday.
Cherokee County District Court Judge Douglas Kirkley ruled that a temporary restraining order "will stay in place" that enabled 12 suspended Sequoyah High School football players to play in the game.
The players, which included four added Thursday to the original eight, were suspended by the Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association after Sequoyah officials learned of the OSSAA summer camp participation rule. Head coach Brent Scott was also suspended for the game, but was in attendance.
The judge said in his ruling that the OSSAA had violated the school's due process.
Sequoyah quarterback Brayden Scott completed 13 of 24 passes for 132 yards and two touchdowns. The son of Brent Scott was relieved after the victory as the Indians improved to 5-0 in district and 8-1 overall.
"I couldn't stop thinking this whole week that me and the rest of the seniors had played our last game," Brayden said. "I don't think the word tough describes this week. It was way more than tough. I'm just glad to be on this field. I thank God for this opportunity."
Kyle Helsley was on both ends of Sequoyah's first-half touchdowns as the Indians took a 14-0 lead into the locker room at halftime.
Helsley caught a 64-yard touchdown pass from Brayden Scott with 39 seconds left in the first period and then fired a 65-yard TD pass to his twin brother Ryan with 5:59 left in the first half. Ryan Helsley also caught a 27-yard touchdown pass from Scott with 48 seconds left in the game. Scott, meanwhile, completed six of 14 passes for 87 yards in the first half.
The Indians got their other touchdown on a three-yard run by Robert Smith with 6:31 left in third quarter.
The Hornets had their moments, but not enough of them.
Quarterback Chandler Puckett fired a 43-yard pass to Jackson late in the second quarter but fumbled it and Kyle Helsley recovered the ball.
"We just didn't execute," Puckett said after completing 9 of 23 passes for 112 yards and throwing three interceptions. Sequoyah's Cody Hooper intercepted two of the passes.
Another heart-stopping moment for the Hornets came with 8:01 left in the first period when Richard Mabery was carried off the field. The extent of his injury was not immediately known.
Hilldale returns to action next Thursday night at Westville, while Sequoyah closes out the regular season at home against Lincoln Christian.
