New Hire Suggests GOProud's Days a CPAC Are Numbered
Ever since various Religious Right groups boycotted CPAC over the inclusion of the gay conservative group GOProud, there have been a lot of questions about what direction the conference would take in the years to come.
New new American Conservative Union Chairman Al Cardenas has already been suggesting that he is going to do what he can to bring the offended Religious Right groups back into the fold by limiting GOProud's involvement.
And now comes word that Cardenas has now hired the executive director of Ralph Reed's Faith and Freedom Coalition to undertake the task of uniting the conservative movement on behalf of ACU:
The American Conservative Union will announce the appointment of Gregg Keller to serve as its executive director, filling out the group's new leadership team with a widely respected Midwestern political hand. Keller is a veteran of some of the toughest elections of the last decade: He was campaign manager for Missouri Sen. Jim Talent in 2006 and national coalitions director for Mitt Romney's presidential campaign in 2008. Most recently, he has been executive director of the Faith and Freedom Coalition, the up-and-coming conservative group founded by Ralph Reed. ACU Chairman Al Cardenas, who took over the organization last month, hailed Keller's selection in a statement: "With Gregg's help, ACU will continue to unite social, fiscal and national security conservatives for the tremendous opportunities we have in 2012 and beyond."
KELLER'S COMMENT: "I am excited to join the American Conservative Union at this crucial time for our conservative movement … I am especially looking forward to working with Chairman Cardenas and the ACU Board to help unite our movement and advance conservative positions, principles and policies."
I think it is safe to assume that GOProud's days sticking a finger in the eye of the Religious Right at CPAC are coming to an end.

Comments about 'How American households are using all the wrong ways to get out of debt'
- Oldest first

How about putting your nose to the grind stone and pay the debt down until it is
gone. Change your lifestyle so that new debt isn't added. Over time you
get out of debt and then stay out of debt. Do things you are in control of. It
seems that defaulting on debt and hoping that everyone else will do the same is
not taking matters into your own hands. Likewise, waiting for inflation and
wages to increase faster than the value of debt also is not taking matters into
your own hands.
There was a time that I thought along these lines. I bought a home and believed that my income would continue to increase so that the mortgage payment would be a smaller percentage. But that hasn't happened.
It is better to live with as little debt as possible. Being free of debt means more freedom, and really less stress. Debt is a heavy task-master.

While I agree with David, I will add that one shouldn't get into debt in the first place!

Description says "an optional display font..."
Am I missing the setting for this?
Description says "an optional display font..."
Am I missing the setting for this?
By default it is ON.
Load your page and check the source. If you see BODY having the class custom-font-enabled, that shows it's ON.
So this is a setting or a hook for developers rather than a theme option for casual users?
I searched the codex for how to utilize this function but had no luck.
This is not about WordPress it is about theme.
If you would open functions.php you would find:
* Loads our special font CSS file.
* The use of Open Sans by default is localized. For languages that use
* characters not supported by the font, the font can be disabled.
* To disable in a child theme, use wp_dequeue_style()
* function mytheme_dequeue_fonts() {
* wp_dequeue_style( 'twentytwelve-fonts' );
* }
* add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'mytheme_dequeue_fonts', 11 );
I don't mean to sound dense. But I don't get it.
When the theme says it has "an optional display font,"
What does that mean?
What does that allow me to do exactly?
Hi Gary,
The display font (Open Sans) is optional but turned ON by default. The reason it's labeled as "optional" is because it doesn't necessarily handle all possible languages very well. You're correct however in believing this is more of a developer-geared feature. As TomasM showed a few comments ago it's possible to programmatically disable this "optional" font by dequeueing the script but that's really the only way to do it correctly.
Hope that helps.
My TwentyTwelve site loads very slowly, and my current thinking is that the loading of the Open Sans font is to blame. I want to disable it anyway.
I've tried disabling the font in my child theme by including the suggested code (see ThomasM's second comment above) in my child theme's functions.php, i.e.
function mytheme_dequeue_fonts() {
wp_dequeue_style( 'twentytwelve-fonts' );
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'mytheme_dequeue_fonts', 11 );
...But, when I view my site's header, it still reads:
<link rel='stylesheet' id='twentytwelve-fonts-css' href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,700&subset=latin,latin-ext' type='text/css' media='all' />
Am I missing the point? Is there any way to tell my theme not to load the Open Sans font from the Google site?
You can create your own thread for support with your own issue.
Andrew Nevins, sorry, will do.

California Chicken Burritos
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 10 mins
I was sent this recipe and can't wait to try it. We love chicken and we're always searching for a new way to prepare. I am posting so I won't lose or forget it. Garnish with sliced avocado, chopped romaine lettuce, and sour cream. If you don't have cooked rice on hand, you can use Uncle Ben's Ready Rice. Cans of chipotles en adobo are available in the Mexican food section of most supermarkets.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 (15 1/2 ounce) can black beans, drained
- 1⁄2 cup water
- 1 cup chunky salsa, drained and juices reserved
- 1 small chipotle chile, minced (from 1 can of chipotles en adobo)
- 1 teaspoon adobo sauce
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- table salt & fresh ground pepper
- 2 cups cooked white rice (see note above)
- 1 1⁄2 cups shredded rotisserie-cooked chicken
- 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 (10 inch) flour tortillas
- Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 450 degrees.
- Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just beginning to smoke. Add black beans, water, reserved salsa juices, chile, and adobo sauce and cook until liquid has evaporated and beans are soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Using potato masher, mash beans lightly. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place rice in medium microwave-safe bowl, cover with plastic wrap, poke holes in plastic, and microwave on high power until hot, about 90 seconds. Stir in salsa, chicken, and 1 1/2 cups cheddar.
- Spread one-quarter of black bean mixture down center of each tortilla, leaving 2-inch border at ends. Mound rice mixture on beans and fold tortillas to form burritos. Transfer to baking sheet, sprinkle with remaining 1 1/2 cups cheddar, and bake until cheese is bubbly, about 10 minutes. Serve.

Seriously yummy food! I kinda goofed up. I added the salsa to the smooched beans. I used great northern beans because black beans are not my friend. I added 1 small chipotle pepper and several teaspoons of adobo sauce. It could have used more. I would suggest starting out slow and keep adding more sauce until you get the desired heat. I then added more salsa to the rice, chicken & cheese. I decided to make some open face on corn tortillas for DH and several folder flour tortillas (photos taken w/o toppings). I topped with sliced romaine lettuce, sliced black olives and diced avocados. We also topped with some of our favorite verde sauces. The kids even liked 'em! SCORE! Thumbs up all the way around the table! Thanks for posting Cindi!
This is a nice change up for a burrito. We arent rice people usually so that would be my only complaint is too much rice per chicken but thats just us. Otherwise the flavor is great! The chipotle pepper is SPICY tho, I wasnt sure if I should have seeded it the way I normaly would a jalepeno or not and it turns out maybe I should have. What a nice change to my usual way of making my black beans also, thank you so much for sharing this recipe, we will have it again for sure! Oh and I used brown rice to be healthier and to me it tastes the same as white.
Thank you!!! I made this just because I had bought a rotisserie chicken and wasn't sure what to do with it. Husband said, "That was honestly the best burrito I have ever eaten. I can't wait to make the guys at work jealous tomorrow when I bring in left overs. There are leftovers aren't there??" Great taste. A bit of spice but not too overwhelming. Easy recipe to follow also. Didn't change a thing! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

An ancient river, centuries-old shops and restaurants steeped in a 2000-year history and
culture set the scene. The ambiance seemed divinely contrived to facilitate the purposes of
our meeting and the very fodder from which the greatest poets are sustained.
Not newcomers to the area, Kay P. and I were assigned to the Army Security Agency Field
Station in Augsburg, Germany in 1974. We were colleagues in the intelligence community
with no romantic overtures to our relationship, save an appreciation of poetry and profound
philosophical discussions. Kay wanted to spend the evening with a poet, so we planned the
evening to be appropriate for the purpose.
At the time and place, we quickly found ourselves hopelessly immersed in the philosophical
foundations of my writings throughout the evening. It was the first time since Vietnam that
I'd felt worthy as a person. I still recall sipping the red wine and feeling the warmth of the
large hearth inside the Balkan eatery. I still see the swans gliding by on the Lech flowing by
our café.
When windowpanes begin to weep with autumn's chilly dew,
I'm taken back through seasons passed to one delight held true,
A rendezvous that time allowed, a gentle evening spent
Amid a time of long discord when days were dreary bent.
I feel the stretch upon my lips, the smile returns once more.
Again, I smell the Balkan fare prepared on Lech's old shore,
The mood is cast in high regard, the wine is tart and dry,
As Augsburg ripples in the wake when swans go gliding by.
The ancient windows frame our view and day begins to wane
As rivulets meander down and streak the dampened panes.
The ambiance of ages passed beseeched us not to leave
And held us in its warm embrace throughout the ebbing eve.
My heart was scarred, without regard and hardened by the war
But her esteem unveiled its worth, while nothing had before.
She saw the child that once was me, I'd long since cast aside,
And bade he climb astride his mount, engage his life and ride.
Now, she is but a memory, whose kindness soothed my heart,
For we embarked upon our lives on paths ordained to part.
Her subtle way escaped my eye till time had made it clear
That her esteem had set me free, that night I hold so dear.
The poetry that filled my soul remains these many years,
Impassioned in my warmest thoughts when autumn first appears,
When windowpanes begin to weep, a-glisten with the dew,
And I return to seasons passed, to one delight held true.

Sometimes on the road of life
Change becomes the norm
When you think, "The sky is true"
The horizon brews a storm
Some storms last but a minute
Like a ship they sail right by
Other storms seem to be
As endless as the sky
Some storms come with a flood
As life gets washed away
Other storms shake the ground
As mountains crumble into clay
Storms come in many sizes
They come in many shapes
Storms come in many forms
Some bless while others rape
As we face the storms of life
They change who we are
Sometimes, we're the clouds
Other times we're the stars
Storms have one thing in common
One day they too shall pass
As a car rolls to a stop
Storms run out of gas
After the storm has passed us by
A seed sprouts to a flower
Each petal seems to be
Exuding strength and power
I have weathered many storms
Their lines map my face
In their wake I have found
Love is my saving grace
I don't know what this poem means
I don't know if I ever will
All I know is that right now
This poem is how I feel

I never knew following dreams could be this lonely,
But up on the hill, looking back, thank God I'm not the old me.
If the tears will fall, let them be;
I believe this is God's plan, follow your dreams.

As you ponder each turn that has landed you here,
taut tempo will quicken and frail futures loom near.
Take one somber moment, step away from the din:
The voyage, the detours, the past and what's been.
You look back behind you to retrace every mile.
It bring tears of regret and the trace of a smile.
Hang on first, then let go, due to whimsy or age.
What you keep in the end is the test of a sage.
Fools still ignore the supreme ticks of the clock,
in each change in fashion, embraced by the flock.
Walk on and ignore them, don't bother to chide,
these pathetic lemmings swept away by the tide.
Peer off in the distance as you fight off the chill.
You must climb still further to the top of the hill.
Play the tailor to time, cut and trim, make it fit.
Find the time in your life. Take time to enjoy it.

A fleeting still small voice tries to warn me
A sudden overwhelming desire to run
The tell tale taste of metallic flakes
Means my nightmare has begun
Everything around takes on a ghostly pallor
A landscape of anguish and corrosion
A moment of silence before the violence
The flash of light, the brilliant explosion
The sound of the Sun fills my ears
Fear, my throat, though none escapes me
And paralyzed I clench my eyes
As my tormentor prepares to rape me
And it's endeavor is absolute
Consumption is its ultimate goal
It exists to chase me so it can erase me
Whilst feasting on my soul
And then that familiar salty smell
The sudden rush of warmth so stings
Engaging me relentlessly
In vile unspeakable things
Over and over and over again
My limbs stretched and wrought
As it's teeth tear my bones bare
It's mind defiles my thoughts
And still wounds beget wounds beget wounds
As in the mouth of madness I suffer
And with every injury he just seems to be
Rougher and rougher and rougher
Then just as suddenly as it began it ceases
And for a moment I am clearer
And then the true horror of it all
Is revealed in a darkly lit mirror
There in front of me stands my destroyer
Face flush with it's fill of my pain
And I find that it's eyes and mine
My God, they're one in the same

Have you ever listened to the silence?
Alone in the giant trees
Have you ever experienced your soul?
Being totally at ease
Have you ever stood atop a volcano?
Felt its trembling power
Ever smelled the sulfur boiling in the pits
Man that sure is sour
Have you ever loved with all that you are?
Holding nothing back
Have you ever completely lost who you are?
Trying to find your way back
Have you ever stood atop a mountain?
Cursed the Lord above
Have you ever sat alone in a Prison cell?
Accepting his forgiving love
You know I have been an evil man
Every sense of the word
In my memory I remember screams
Tormenting to be heard
So much I wish that I could forget
So much I have to tell
About the emptiness you feel inside
The pure solitude of hell
My life no longer belongs to me
I am on a quest
To show the world a man can be
Beyond any test
My pain is deep and my spirits are high
Eagle gliding in the sky
Brave enough to fight any man
Strong enough to cry
A rock to those who know me well
A leader in the night
A warrior that would never run
God I love the fight
A tender man of true compassion
My wife taught me well
That's why everything that I can be
I offer to her spell
Angels come with big brown eyes
Strong enough at heart
They encourage you to rise above
Finish what you start
Sometimes when I start to write
I fall into a trance
And the poem becomes a partner
Gliding in a dance
Where the poem goes is with the flow
I just tag along
I try real hard to keep the beat
Swaying with the song
Some parts are good and others bad
Some are in between
But from the first word to the last
The soul in me is seen
I pray before that final curtain call
I will have left my mark
That people will think back and say
The light rose from the dark
Everyone must choose their own way
I am no one to lead
If you wish to make your life a garden
I have some real good seed
Always be totally honest with yourself
The person that you are
Space is a place full of dark matter
Grasp to your own star
Be strong enough to always open up
Let go of what you hide
Because in the overall scheme of things
They're a nowhere ride
If you wish to hold the one you love
Always let it show
Remember that they must be free
We all need room to grow
Trust in them with all that you are
Never forget to show
That they are the one you will adore
To the ending of the show
Due to the length I joined the four line stanzas together

He's staring again, standing by his balcony door
The way he did each morning, even when I was there
Writhing in pain after my heart from my chest he tore
And as I walk away, my heart on my sleeve I wear
The emotional abuse was unconscionable
Yet for years I clung to hope he'd appreciate me
But his anger just grew, attacks became physical
Till I'd had enough and desired only to be free
My clothing, my perfume, many things remain behind
I'm standing now an I'm finally walking away
Wondering why for far too long I chose to stay blind
Proud I had the strength to leave, I greet a new spring day

Imagine someone finished all your thoughts
and never failed to share your point of view.
Would your reflection really be your own
if one you mirrored also mirrored you?
I think it would be nice to be real close
to someone else, but picture him your clone. . .
If one you mirrored also mirrored you,
would your reflection really be your own?
I saw a show about a pair of twins.
They've stayed the same in all they say and do.
Would your reflection really be your own
if one you mirrored also mirrored you?
What mystery or fun in partnerships
if there were always everything foreknown?
If one you mirrored also mirrored you,
would your reflection really be your own?
If bonds of love were colors, could they thrive
if they remained the one same constant hue?
Would your reflection really be your own
if one you mirrored also mirrored you?
If you reflected someone flesh and soul. . .
Together would you not still be alone?
If one you mirrored also mirrored you,
would your reflection really be your own?
I would not like to know my whole sweet life
were being lived by not just one, but two!
Would your reflection really be your own
if one you mirrored also mirrored you?

A wish is hope, all dressed up
A heart that needs to sing...
And I have 3 songs today,
Hopes and wishes, that I bring...
I wish yesterday was today
So I could change some things...
I seem so much wiser now,
A different song I'd sing...
I wish I had the power
To make my fellows see...
That hate wont set the table,
But love is always free
I wish that I could write a poem
That everyone would read...
Something with a message,
To plant a fruitful seed
We all would like to think
That magic might come our way...
And that some Genie just might grant,
Our hopes and wishes for today

Erase a word
Mundane and wrought
Smoldering fire
Of indifferent thought
Pluck a phrase
Wild and untamed
Primordial howl
Of random flame
Sing a verse
Naked and free
Poetic gale
Of crashing seas
Tell a tale
Endearing and true
Passionate prose
Of life's muse
Ask a heartbeat
Women and men
Who feels
100 shards of pen

Marching down life's highway, my feet became very sore
I then came upon a sign that read "Heaven's Grocery Store"
When I got closer the doors swung open wide
Next thing I knew I was standing there inside
I saw a flock of angels positioned everywhere
They handed me a basket and said, "Child shop with care."
Everything a human required was in that grocery store
With many commodities to carry, you could always come back for more
First I acquired some Patience; Love was in that same row
Further down was Understanding, you require that everywhere you go
I grabbed a box of Wisdom and Faith, a bag or two
And obtained Charity of course but more than just a few
And then reached for Courage to help me run this wicked race
My basket was almost full but remembered some loving Grace
I then chose Salvation for it was advertised as free
I tried to collect enough of that for both you and me
Then I started to the counter to pay my grocery bill
For I thought I had everything to do the Master's will
As I went up the aisle, I saw Prayer and proceeded put that in
For I knew when I stepped outside I was bound to encounter sin
Peace and Joy were plentiful, the last thing on that shelf
Song and Praise were hanging near so I just helped myself
Then I asked an angel, "Now how much do I owe?"
She smiled and said, "Just take them wherever you may go."
Again I asked, "No really, how much do I owe?"
"My child," she said, "God paid your bill a long time ago."

Often I dream of better days
Where it was not so hard to cope
A place where there is peace of mind
And the streets are full of hope
The anger that I feel inside
With days of being stressed
The hurt, the pain, the sorrow
Can all be laid to rest
A place where I can find that peace
Surrounded by family and friends
Maybe that is the pot of gold
That lies where the rainbow ends.

I'll stay away…
from what brings pain
What makes tears fall
like acid rain
I'll stay away…
from what is fake
What makes my heart
about to break
I'll stay away….
From a false friend
Who makes my hope
Reach bitter end
I'll stay away…
From selfish quest
What makes me lose
What I love best
I'll stay away….
From hurtful write
That plunges soul
In darkest night
I'll stay away…
From words untrue
What gives false love
In shaded hue
I'll stay close to…
what brings me life
What makes my heart
Free from all strife
I'll stay close to…
What feeds my soul
What makes my heart
Feel light and whole
I'll stay close to….
What brings delight
What brings me joy
In darkest night
I'll stay close to…..
What I adore
What feeds me heart
Has love in store
I'll stay close to….
What's good and true
And so I'll stay
Right close to you.
Eileen Manassian
People have different tolerance levels for pain. I have a very low threshold. Fragile and brittle...I break easily, and sometimes the repair work takes forever. Thus, I have found that it's best to stay away from potential heartache and pain. Sometimes we torture ourselves by reading or listening to things that will just drive that nail in deeper into our hearts. Why? That is self torture. There is enough pain in life to bring us down. We don't need to make it worse. So...sometimes keeping a distance is best. Not out of hate....it could be disappointed love...unmet expectations...previous painful experiences....or it could just be called....SELF PRESERVATION.
Thanks for reading!

Today I sat in silence gently closing my eyes
Saying goodbye to sounds that makes our world alive
Slowly I started to drift, deeper into an unknown black
Where sound has never been heard, where life also lacked
The deeper and further I went, uncharted by any man
Where silenced echoed it's silence, right back to our future plan
In this void of soundless emptiness, dust particles brushed me so
Prompting me to open my eyes, allowing my eyes to glow
So fortunate I think to myself, being present at the beginning of time
Finding the truth of yesterdays tomorrows, now knowing where man has climbed
I watch the particles spinning, over millions and millions of years
Creating planets we know now, aligned are these magnificent spheres
Gradually I work my way back, enlightened at what I had viewed
Knowing that we are only a blip in time, being here is so misunderstood
So many follow their paths, knowing of their yonder
So today I sat in silence, gladly closing my eyes I wandered

You think me silly and verbose
When love is on my mind…
Fickle fickle full of fluff
Love sick, crazy, blind
Sexually overcharged
Big picture oblivious
And from your life discharged
You read my lines and smirk a while
And think, "Oh dear, Hee Hee!"
But when it comes right down to it
You wish you were like me (Women)
You'd jump in bed with me (men)
It might have a one track mind
But of that I am glad
Life has enough to bring me down
Enough to make me sad
I write of love and passion
And feelings so sublime
You don't need to read me
Nor be a friend of mine!
But of this I am certain
Of this I'm ever proud
Passion is my heartbeat
l let it beat OUT LOUD!
If you don't like sultry
Want nature writes and such
There's someone else to read
So, thank you very much!
Started on this poem some time ago, but left it unfinished. Not in the mood for something new, so I picked this one up and finished it. I don't JUST write about passion and romance and love, but....it is what I love best. I've accepted who I am and I will fight to preserve my identity. I'm tired of a world of people who are judgmental and stuffy....people who don't know how to FEEL and CELEBRATE passion. Thanks for reading.
We celebrate the optimist
Extolling his cheery ways
As the light shines upon him
We think he's worthy of our praise
He seems to have the answers
With him the future's always bright
Convincing us that darkness
Is a form of blackened light
Not a thing seems to phase him
He surveys life from on high
Floating above the misery
With a twinkle in his eye
All the while the pessimist
Occupies a gloomy place
Warning us of the dangers
That none of us wish to face
We want rainbows and buttercups
A world that is cheerful and bright
We fear arbiters of darkness
For we think they will take our light
It's wise to listen carefully
The pessimist might be right
Don't choose a veil of ignorance

My white-washed bars surrounded me -
they held me as I slept;
they soothed me when the days were long,
and mother's blue-eyes wept.
A baby girl, six months or less,
awakened from my sleep -
stood up legs as sure as hope;
as strong as flat is steep.
My hands, my saviors, gripped the rail
so I could peek outside –
the bluest sky I'd ever seen,
As tall as it was wide;
came into view - between the blue,
an airplane gliding by,
its smoky streamer like a flag,
across my memory's sky...
The memory is a simple one -
a window, sky, and plane -
but in my heart, it's heaven's door
and there it shall remain.
I've hung it on my memory's wall
Between that life and this –
It covers every hole I've dug
In sorrow's vast abyss.
This picture brings the special peace
I knew when I was small –
Where mother's just beyond the door,
and waiting for my call…
*Inspired by Danielle's Earliest Memory contest. I have blocked out almost every memory
from my childhood, and only a very few gems remain - this is the first. and I will treasure it

I wish I had the knowledge of
lifes most important things
knew how to end lifes problems
and all the pain it brings.
I don't know much of anything
but I do know how pain feels
and I know this life is filled
with too many bad deals.
I always try to understand
what others say and do
because I may not really know
just what they have been through.
I never want to cause more pain
that doesn't have to be
and pray that someone else in turn
will do the same for me.

So words become; the order of the day
and order of the day becomes
the soldiered meaning of all work and play,
the ever present, beating drums.
Then words become; the lure of the lie
and liars lure every son
with shadows of gold 'til they all but die,
to retire, to be, to be done.
And then, once again; the words become
the order of every day
to sleep, to awake, to be dead and done,
'til all words fly, ever away.

Oh gentle rain
come to me now
please wash this pain from me
in lifes unkindness I'm immersed
and need to be set free
Oh gentle breeze
please breathe new life
into this dying soul
from my travels I am weary
refresh and make me whole
Oh flowers sweet
let me hide
among your beauty fair
touch me with your loveliness
and leave your beauty there
Oh come to me
in kindness please
with your gentle ways
the world it has inflicted me
and darkened all my days
Oh come to me
and touch my heart
please change this dark to light
take away the ugliness
that turned my day to night
one mans sunset
is another mans dawn
every second of the day
lives on and on
dawn is a traveler
traveling from east to west
bringing light to a world
darkness has left
decending and emerging
at the same time
insignificant man
fooled by his eye's
the earth has a shadow
but we call it night
it's fought by the moons
reflected light
but in the darkness
we see the stars
other planets in space
telling where we are
constant rotations
on a scale so large
days and seasons
so near so far
days months and years
before and behind
at birth a mystery
but now eternity in my mind

The last great snowflake standing
Little snowflakes fell swiftly
All around the house they fell
Eight male flakes_three little girls
House was lively in winter
As they all warmed by the fire
Boys' boistour tales, girls brush long hair
Then silence all rested heads
At four A.M. each morn_chores
Breakfast, lunch packed off to school
Walking that long mile was rule
School was important dad said
Soon the oldest snowflake wed
As life goes all followed him
Leaving the warm hearth behind
Some of them to produce twins
As life goes_death visited
All their humble doors sadness
Some had children die at birth
And some at very young age
What they saw in their lifetime
Changes that took place_cars_planes
Atom bomb that ended war
None their warm family disgraced
Death started visiting doors
One above middle went home first
Then slowly they all went home
But dad was the last snowflake

I stand here and watch the changing of seasons,
a summer of winters, an autumn of springs,
I stand here in thought, not knowing the reasons,
to the meaning of life, how the caged bird still sings.
I stand here and watch as the years pass me by,
regrets of my past, what my life might have been,
I stand here and muse over one butterfly,
freed from the prison it had put itself in.
I stand here and watch as the dark turns to day,
the first glimpse of sunrise, a shimmer of light,
I stand here and wonder where clouds go to play
would they take me with them when day turns to night?
I stand here on guard while my inner self dreams,
of a world free of hurting, a life blank of stain,
I stand here and listen while my inner self screams,
with fear in his eyes and a soul filled with pain.
I stand here alone, memories by my side,
a flood of emotions, bittersweet in my mind,
I stand here unknown with the tears I have cried,
searching for answers in a world where I'm blind.

Princess ballerina
Comfortably numb
Hidden from the world
Holding angels ransom
Princess ballerina
With ivory inked thighs
Legs swallowing purity
Prying pink eyes
Princess ballerina
With sin studded threats
Slicing delicacy
With pierced pirouettes

Leering from afar
Come out of the corner
My jaded sultry star

My mother starts moaning, with another one due.
She won't live to see, as she struggles to wheeze.
I never knew famine would produce skies so blue.
But no need for toilets, I forget how to squeeze.
Searing sun inflates skulls into baroque balloons.
One whining dog, dying , from a surfeit of fleas.
I squint as my sister beats a roach with a spoon.
She's holding out hope, with a morsel to tease.
My eyes can still water from the feces and trash,
tossed up by vultures to release fresh disease.
I dig up what moist dirt I can pound into mash.
An old man collapses, not a single one grieves.
What passes for corpses- baking black as they pop.
Now the flies feel the heat and retreat to the trees.
My brother keeps wailing and I wish he would stop.
My breathing grows shallow in the oven fed breeze.
If it helps each of you,
I am down on my knees.
I beg you.
Hand me one piece of bread.
Would you, please?
To have lived not being loved at all -
hunchbacked like a question mark-
your soul continuously on parole
imagine beauty in the dark
Perhaps we passed each other in the speed
of different trains colliding with the time
in one - abandoned newborn girl in need
the other - useless vagabond and wine.
Was it your Soul who shook the Jacaranda tree
and made it burst and rain with purple fairies?
Or just a whispered cry within the depth of me -
too much horizon and no space for prairies...
Imagine beauty in the dark
When wings demolish walls of sorrow
I'll die again an injured lark
Reborn in Phoenix bird tomorrow.

I don't want to play any more,
it's time to put away my mask.
And though people still need to laugh,
I'm simply not up to the task.
My act is not very funny,
and will probably be my last.
For like the white face that I wear,
I'm just a relic of the past.
I find it hard to paint a smile,
on top of a permanent frown.
And yet in costume I'm expected
to quickly flip frowns upside-down.
It has been a long time coming,
but I need to rethink my dream.
And try my hand at something else,
less emotionally extreme.
When I look into a mirror,
I want to see more than a clown.
So if someone asks what I do,
it'll no longer bring me down.

In my quiet times I often try,
To remember places I've been.
To recall folk I have passed by,
And sights that I have seen.
There is nothing wrong with my mind,
Sometimes my memory is quite refined.
I think it's filled over many a year,
With so much junk, nothing seems clear.
So, I made up my mind to write it all down,
To recall it all caused me to frown
It started like I was in the dark,
A memory flared, I was in the park.
That day in the park was just the lever,
I found my mind was as good as ever.
Tho' times and places got out of line,
I wrote it all down, now wasn't I clever!
I'm nearly at the end of my story,
A journey I'm glad that I took.
For my grandsons to read in years to come,
I'll call it Granddads Book.

If my spirit is akin to an animal
It would surely be the lovely doe
With beauty quiet and reserved
Brown eyes that seem to know...
Eyes so like hidden forest pools
Deep, seemingly brimmed with tears
Every move with a dancer's grace
Watching, afraid to come to near...
When I see her in the meadow
Or feeding on a summer hillside
I pause to reflect on her beauty
For a time, my heart with her abides....
For the " If I Were an Animal" contest..

That was the day we played all day outside
And ride imaginary stick horses around
Shooting and shouting as if our lungs was rawhide
It was in imagination that the fun abound
That was the day the house seemed in disrepair
Furniture and boxes all out of place
Chaos reigned while mama cleaned everywhere
Leaving germ and dirt without a trace.
I thought of mama today as I watched you clean
Remembered how we would wipe our foot
On the little mat, but mostly could not dare go in
As if we were the grime or the cause of soot
Food would only come when mama took a break
But not before dark and howling belly turned
Play into night, and after the yard was swept and raked
Something about you in mama I'd discerned.
What was all that cleaning just to be clean, I ask
Or was it a search for something missing here
What deeper motive had the highly honored task
What coin, or sheep, or son hid behind the tear
What golden fleece or grail to you both have been lost
I know mama cleaning searched for meaning here
As if sin was something we could see like life's dross
As if to seek was the magic bullet for man's despair.
O something about you remind me of mama, my dear
And childhood comes rushing back in floods
Two sparse rooms and five pieces of furniture there
While we chased butterflies from dying buds
You are different though, for you have allowed us in
Watching our eyes to tell you of missing spots
But we just laugh and tell long tales while you clean
Life is too short to search or go connecting dots.

After reminding us that the AIDS crisis in the West is far from over in "The Event," Fitzgerald widened his scope with this much-needed perspective on the global dimensions the disease has achieved. Despite the importance and seriousness of the subject, there's plenty of Fitzgerald's brand of sly humor on hand, particularly in the scenes involving the Quebecoise porn industry.
Though not as coherent as it might be, 3 Needles, with its stunning cinematography by Thomas M. Harting, is never less than engaging and suggests powerfully the myriad reasons why AIDS, after a quarter of a century, remains so difficult to control and combat.
Had it taken a more hard-headed approach, 3 Needles, might have been to the AIDS epidemic what "Traffic" was to the drug trade.
When 3 Needles premiered at Toronto last year, the stories were overlapping, in the style of "Babel" but without a unifying theme. It's less cumbersome as three separate stories, but they do not add up to much.
In terms of simple provocation, nothing in this melodramatic mosaic of global suffering comes close to matching director Thom Fitzgerald's press kit prediction that "the AIDS pandemic will be seen in retrospect as much more significant than the ongoing jihad." A film about THAT could be compelling; this one is merely content to suggest, cleverly and often, that it recognizes far more than we ever could the pain and cruelty of disease.
Writer-director Thom Fitzgerald's ambitious but hopelessly inchoate AIDS drama is actually three separate, sequentially-told stories.
If nothing else, Fitzgerald has demonstrated how huge a challenge the AIDS epidemic is on a worldwide scale, and how it will take a concerted, intelligent effort to solve it. It'll take a lot more than throwing money around.

"Most of the aliases are usually actors or entertainers, depending on what the taste in the music is," Seghi said. "We've gone from P. Diddy to a Garth Brooks. We had an Elvis Presley along the way and a Jimmy Buffett. A lot of times, we have actors. Antonio Banderas has been used a number of times, and we've had a Will Smith recently."
The names of movie characters are also popular among the players. Seghi said he has booked rooms for players using aliases such as Don Corleone from "The Godfather," Tony Montana from "Scarface," Clark Griswold (National Lampoon's "Vacation" movies), Lloyd Christmas ("Dumb & Dumber") and Hannibal Lecter ("Silence of the Lambs"). Characters from sports movies also have been recycled over and over again. Seghi said Indians players have used characters from "Bull Durham" and "Major League," the movie that made fun of a fictitious Indians team.
Sometimes players want the same names.
"I was watching 'Caddyshack' and Bill Murray character's Carl Spackler," Royals pitcher Brian Anderson said. "And I am like, 'That is a great name.' So I come into the clubhouse and start loud talking about how I am going to change my name to Carl Spackler and there is a guy already on the team using that name."
So Anderson found inspiration in another favorite movie of his, "The Naked Gun."
"I used to stay as Lt. Frank Drebin and, much like a pampered superstar, would make them put the 'Lt.' on the rooming list," Anderson said. "So that when I get my key, it would actually be 'Lt. Frank Drebin' [on the envelope]."
Roger Clemens -- who went by Red Glare, a play on the national anthem and his nickname "Rocket," on hotel registries until, well, now -- said he has used an alias for 15 of his 22 seasons in the majors. The alias, he said, has to be approved by the loved ones -- not only because they are always asking for it but also because of their extended association with it. One of Clemens' favorites was a wild west gunfighter that was rejected by his wife.
"I was in the bookstore once and, you know, the wife was in there and she was grabbing some different things and children's books, and I stumbled on Wyatt," Clemens said. "I said 'This is perfect.' But she wouldn't go for it. She did not want to be Mrs. Earp. So that was short-lived."
Sabathia said he used his favorite cartoon character, George Jetson, for years: "If you call down to the room service, they're like 'Hey Mr. Jetson.' On the receipt, it's got 'Jetson' on the bottom and you sign it 'George Jetson,' so it's pretty funny."
Before a team arrives in a hotel, the director of team travel makes sure the hotel has the names of its players registered with their corresponding fake name. Sometimes hotel employees don't get the memo on who's really who.
"One time, I was the boxer Pernell Whitaker," Lofton said. "When I ordered room service and it got there, there were three people there bringing my room service and they were like, 'Mr. Whitaker, can we have your autograph?' "
Then there's the occasional mix-up.

"At a medical data center in the upper Midwest, cooling-system uptime reliability is ensured with redundant computer-room air-conditioning (CRAC) units. For example, in a room needing eight units, 10 are employed. Drives cut energy use 40 percent by controlling HVAC fan speed on CRAC units."

"Providing adequate ventilation is a very important part of a patient's wellbeing in a health care setting. Maintaining a high level of indoor air quality (IAQ) has become an increasing challenge for health care facilities. A critical part of ensuring proper IAQ is supplying the appropriate amount of ventilation to replenish oxygen, to remove carbon dioxide, and to reduce the activity of airborne pathogens."

"The AFRH New Commons Health Care Center, The Scott Building, located on the Old Soldier's Home grounds in Washington, D.C., is a unique space that combines assisted living user needs, campus-wide program requirements, a historic site and environmental considerations into a multiuse facility. The AFRH Campus is home to more than 500 military veterans from all branches of the armed forces."

"Usually HVAC systems and lighting are the first places most people think to start when it comes to improving energy efficiency in hospitals and health care facilities. These are, indeed, critical elements of the journey; however, one might argue that the first place one should actually start is with the building envelope, because it's where energy savings opportunities really begin and then carry through its affiliated processes."

My father's laptop can't connect to the network printer through WIFI. We were able to narrow the problem. Three MiniPort WAN are dysfunctionnals and are displayed with a warning by Windows.
In ordre to solve this issue I need to be able to uninstall these drivers. There are some explanations available, but they do not work with Windows 8. In order to re install theses drivers, they must disapear from the device manager.
Here is the problematic part, I can't achieve it. See , deleting the register break down the wifi. I do not have errors when I uninstall these drivers, but they do not disapear from the device manager.
Another link, explains that we must uninstall TCP/IP, before deleting the register key. But you can't uninstall TCP/IP on windows 8 because it is a core component. You can reset the driver easily still.
The only known way (at least to me) to uninstall these drivers is to delete them in Windows/inf, and in system32 (not sure for this one). The author explained that it made the drivers disapear from the device manager, but windows became soon quite unstable.
So do you have any ideas ?
Edit : I'm a software engineer, so I can handle technical explanations.

Surviving Family Financial Hardship
by Rachel Paxton

Tooth Fairy Inflation
11 Ways to Teach Kids about Money
Whole Family Financial Solutions
My daughter is 18 years old this year. She is older than I was when she was born. For years, we lived on a very low income and barely made ends meet. She watched me work my way through college, studying hard. I often worked more than one job to make ends meet. If you were to ask her now if we had any money when she was young, she would tell you she didn't really know. She never went to bed hungry and always had clean clothes to wear. She always had toys to play with and mom was always there for her when she needed her. That is what she remembers.
My daughter is now applying for college herself, and wanted me to read her college application. She had to write about herself, her life, her relationships, etc. I was very surprised to read what she thought about her childhood. We have lived through a lot of tough times and there are a lot of negative stories she could tell. What she described is how thankful she was for the hardships she has endured and how she has become a strong woman because of her life experiences. She credits me for her drive and determination. She attributes her money management skills to my example.
Her essay made me realize that it is not the experiences we go through that shape us. It is how we handle those experiences. When you are enduring financial hardships, if you make poor decisions, your children will see your decisions and feel the impact of those decisions. If you make good choices, your children will learn from those choices also, regardless of your financial circumstances. Every choice you make affects the people your children will some day become. If your children see you charging up your credit cards (regardless of how much money you make), they will think that is normal and will learn those spending habits from you. If you live on a low income and spend your money wisely, your children will learn to manage their money well.
You can not teach your children what you do not model. Your children need to learn to budget their money, to not accumulate debt, and to shop wisely. You can teach them this from a very young age, with even their allowances. Sit down and really take the time to decide what you want your children to learn about money and start modeling those behaviors for your children today.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - Shelby County authorities are still
trying to identify five men whose bodies were found inside a locked
apartment in suburban Birmingham.
Sheriff's Department spokesman Ken Burchfield said Thursday
investigators also were awaiting results of forensic examinations
before discussing how the men died.
He declined comment on reports that their throats had been slashed.
Officers went to the sprawling Cahaba Lakes complex after
receiving a call from someone who was unable to get in touch with a
friend at the apartment.
Authorities initially had difficulty entering because the door was bolted. They found the bodies when they managed to get in about
6 p.m. Wednesday.

Education leaders: Funds could be withheld for gas, bonuses
Published: Wednesday, June 25, 2008 at 11:48 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 25, 2008 at 11:49 a.m.
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) State education officials are warning that they may have to withhold $50 million from school districts so theres enough money for gasoline and teacher bonuses.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Wednesday that the state Board of Education held an emergency meeting on Tuesday.
One problem has been sharp rises in the price of diesel fuel. Even though the state gets districts a lower bulk rate at $4 a gallon, the discounted rate was $2.13 a gallon this time a year ago.
Associate state superintendent Philip Price also said the preliminary state budget provides $70 million to pay teacher bonuses that are based on how well students do on state exams. Thats about $37 million less than what school leaders say is needed.

"Products of Malaga province" Andalucía Local Custom Tip by pikuu
Andalucía Local Customs: 55 reviews and 63 photos
Almonds - the big areas of this region are covered by the almonds plantations. Try the almond cake and buy the almond butter - something similar (consistence) to the peanut butter. Very delicate, good for add in to sweets or even to the cup of milk, but it's not easy to find it in popular shops (I discovered this product in some shop in Competa).
Olive - very well, delicious. For brekafest I don't need something more than fresh bread with aromatic Axarquia olive.
Wine - I like sweet Malaga-style wine made from dried grapes. Stronger than normal and very fruity. Also Competa is a good place to try this specialite (semi-dry, semi-sweet or sweet). In some shops you can taste it before buying.
Garlic soup - I'm not the garlic fan but many people told that Andalusian garlic soup is really delicious.
Fig bread - If you like sweets you will like this local product. It looks like a big sausage - pressed, dried figs are mixed with honey and ingredients. You can slice it and eat like chips. But it is more healthy :)
Salchichas picantes - small fried spicy sausages (this is not typical for Andalusia, but these I tasted here were much more yummy than in other parts of Spain)
Boquerones al vinagre - small grilled fishes in the vinegar. Very good appetizer.

So i need to personalise email which is sent by subscribe2 plugin.

Many thanks for help.
Public Subscribers don't input their first name so there won't be anything to insert into the email.
Registered Subscribers who register with WordPress are also not forced to enter their first and last names so again these fields may be blank.
This is why there is no option to do this in the code. To deliver this you'd have to hack the subscribe2 code to add a new keyword and also handle the eventuality where the data is not present.
Hi MattyRob,
thanks for reply.
Actually, it is very important to send a letter using their First Name.
I found the plugin please see the link
which solved my problem. But looks like the S2 doesn't work correctly with this plugin "personalise".
I connected with the author of this plugin and see mour correspondence:
So probably you can bring the light how to PERSONOLIZE the emails from S2.
many thanks for your reply.
There are registration plugins which help one make fields mandatory on registration.
As Mattyrob points out - it is only possible to display data if the data has been recorded.
Personally I think most people know that it is all auto generated and not really "personal" .
Also "insisting" on capturing their data can reduce subscriptions.
See my thoughts on it a while back:
So, been searching high and low, and I am not sure if the original poster is asking the same thing, but I need it so that when a user wants to subscribe, they can add their first name and last name to the subscriber list, instead of only just email. Can this be done?
This topic has been closed to new replies.

Then just drop the entire image folder in your Let-it-snow plugin folder on your server. THEN it will work properly.

1995 Nissan Altima Sedan GLE 4dr Sedan
Bought at 75,000mi.Had some expensive repairs but overall been happy with the ride and reliability.My suggestion for anyone owning this car is to keep up regular maintenance from the dealership.The dealership is more expensive, but they know what they are doing and won't charge for services you don't need.This car had an oil leak that was expensive and require the engine to be removed.The alternator, distributor and radiator belts and hoses were replaced.Power steering rack and pinion, hoses, CV boots engine mounts replaced.I probably wouldn't have taken this route again as the repairs added up to what new car payments would be, but I have a decent car now and enjoy it.
Styling, reliability, interior trim.
Gas mileage should be better for a 4cyl., but this was built in '95, hubcaps tend to fall off, some of the electrical equipment is failing (i.e., horn, cruise control).
Who can say no to a free car? When I got this car it seriously needed some TLC. The previous owners didn't take care of it. So I when ahead and did all the maintenance on it, but it still some parts to be replace like axle, suspension bushing, tires. Other then that the car runs pretty good.
Favorite Features would be its reliability. It still on its original starter, alternator, radiator, water hose etc.. for being a 1995 and 173,000 miles on the clock. That's pretty darn good.
What to improve? I don't know since this car is the first model that Nissan roll out with. I would have to say the oil filter should be in a better location then by the firewall, axle, tires. it should be where it is easy to get to
I live in New Zealand and own the
equivalent version of the Altima except
with the 2 litre engine. It is a very
comfortable car with some of the best
seats in the car industry. The interior
is well designed and after 9 years
still looks modern. Its also very
reliable, no major problems except a
leak in the boot which was fixed in due
course. Now up to 75000mls since new
and still going. Don't know about the
2.4 version but the 2.0 litre version
lacks gusts and is lethargic.
Spacious boot, wicked sound system and
comfortable seats. Good legroom in the
back and woodgrain looks stylish.
Leather is soft and attractive
Please more horsepower and torque!
Wheels that could fill the whell arches
would be good as well.
I love this car. It has been good to me
since day 1. No major problems. Just
the routine maintenance. Got it with
46000 miles. Now pushing 123000 miles.
I've done 110+ mph in this baby! I
would recommend this car to anyone
looking for a reliable car. Just make
sure you do your scheduled maintenance.
Style, design, and sound system.
They've finally done it! The 6 cylinder
Love my Altima GLE that I had for over 7
years. It was very reliable, and I
highly recommend it to anyone. It had
great acceleration and pick-up when I
needed it. Had power-everything,
and was loaded with extra options. Most
people thought it was a 2000 model
because the exterior still shines.
Built great for top value.
Loved the lumbar support that helped
ease my back pain. Also liked the CD
player with 6 speakers. Good horsepower
and fuel economy system. No premium gas
Improvements are already in the new 2002
Altima. Just kick back and the Altima!
