LOS ANGELES -- For a while, USC players were oohing and aahing like everybody else in the nation who has watched Oregon perform its circus act on turf.
The superlatives were flying fast and furious last week. The Ducks play at a tempo no one has ever seen. They break off chunks of yardage like icebergs being born. Wow, look at all those beautiful, big, shiny numbers.
Then, pride started to gurgle up the Trojans' throats and they couldn't swallow it any longer. First came a tweet from quarterback Matt Barkley, pumped up after watching a UFC match, predicting a USC upset. Then came some muted references that essentially said, "Hey, we're fast, too."
And then, after Wednesday's practice, defensive lineman Jurrell Casey pretty much put it all out there, grumpily saying the Ducks might not be all that. The adjectives everybody seemed to be sprinkling around like seed were starting to get on his nerves.
"They have a good running back and a good quarterback. Other than that, they're really not that good," Casey said.
Yeah, this thing is getting a little personal.
Saturday's game at the Coliseum (5 p.m. PT on ABC) is about more than USC trying to knock Oregon off its BCS title-game course and doing it in front of the nation's eyes. It's about restoring order in many of these players' worlds. The tumult has been non-stop since January, when Pete Carroll bolted to coach an NFL team that plays a few hundred miles from Oregon's campus. Then came all that June gloom, when the NCAA slapped the Trojans with sanctions tougher than anybody expected.
Saturday is about the Trojans putting down their cleats and stubbornly holding onto the keys to this conference.
"Once upon a time, we were in their shoes," fullback Stanley Havili said.
Funny how long ago that seems, but it was really only last year. Fourth-ranked USC had designs on overcoming an early loss to Washington and getting back in the national-title picture. After a 47-20 loss in Eugene, though, it could forget about that, and the 2009 season quickly swirled down the Emerald Bowl. That was the worst loss Carroll had ever endured at USC and it set the course for the program's downward spiral.
Since then, the Trojans have been searching for rock bottom and they hope those back-to-back last-second losses to Washington and Stanford this year were it. A victory over the top-ranked team in the land could accelerate USC's recovery considerably.
From an X's and O's standpoint, Saturday looks like another Oregon rout. USC's defense has struggled with spread offenses for years and the defensive guru the Trojans brought in, Monte Kiffin, is best known for devising a scheme that even he admits will be useless this week. He wished he could have had four weeks, not just two, to prepare for the onslaught Oregon's offense brings.
"The Tampa 2 isn't exactly what you'd use to shut down the triple option with," Kiffin said. "That's for a whole different deal, you know?"
The psychological dynamic of Saturday's game is fuzzier. How will Oregon respond to all the positive press? Can the Ducks do what USC did for a decade? It's often said that it's easier to get to the top than to stay on top. And USC is at its most confident coming off that 48-14 beating of Cal, in which the defense finally played to the standard the offense has set.
According to at least one veteran Trojan, this year's team will stay together no matter what happens. Fifth-year senior Allen Bradford said some of last year's players began playing for NFL scouts rather than for their teammates and it damaged morale. He said this season, the Trojans have learned once again to play as a unit and trust in one another.
"With [Brian] Cushing and Rey [Maualuga] and all those guys my freshman, sophomore and junior years, we felt like more of a team," Bradford said. "Last year, guys were just like, 'I'm going to ball for myself and see what happens.'"
Let's get this out of the way: USC isn't going to sneak up on anyone in the Pac-10. It probably never will. This conference is filled with teams dying to knock off the Trojans, in part because so many of their players grew up in Southern California and never got a whiff of recruiting interest from SC. But there's no denying the fact they are touchdown underdogs playing at home. That hasn't escaped the notice of the coaches, who can use it in their pregame pep talks.
"Part of it's kind of neat to be on the other side, to be the underdog coming into a game like this, have all the pressure on them having to be the No. 1 team in the country and have to withstand another week," said coach Lane Kiffin.
So, yeah, it's all of the things people have been saying. It's the Trojans' bowl game, their statement moment and their Super Bowl, all wrapped up in yellow-and-green wrapping paper. It should be a good show and it's something this region's fans have been thirsting for.
"It's just a big game," Bradford said.

It took me over 1.5 years to get pregnant with my son who is now nearly 8 months old. We had to go through the ringer with the first one with fertility drugs and road that roller coaster.
Then I found out two days ago I am pregnant again. I will be due in May. My husband is doing cartwheels he is so happy and I am very happy as well, just really shocked.One month it took and I got pregnant with this one. It is great my body works on it's own again but I am just not sure how I am going to handle two under two? I am wondering I am strong enough and can handle it. I am lucky my first is a pretty laid back and easy going lil boy so far. He is very energetic and easily adapts to situations.
I have a wonderful husband and I am a SAHM. My husband helps with everything and is a great father. He told me he will be here to help and do whatever it takes. I am just needing so reassurance that, while I know it will be hard, that raising a 15 month old and a newborn is very doable. I guess I am really scared I am cheating my first born out of something. :(
Anyone else have the same sorts of feelings of shock and being scared?
(Please do not get me wrong, I want this baby and I am very happy!)

* BOJ announces bold monetary easing steps * Market welcomes purchases of Reits and ETFs - fund * REITs and other reflationary stocks outperform * Further weakening in yen necessary for Nikkei's sustained gain - analyst By Ayai Tomisawa TOKYO, April 4 Japan's Nikkei average jumped 2.2 percent to a two-week high in heavy trade on Thursday after the Bank Of Japan announced a sweeping monetary expansion campaign that will include heavy investment in REITs and ETFs, boosting reflationary stocks such as real estate firms and banks. The Nikkei rose 272.34 points to 12,634.54, within striking distance of a 4 1/2 year high of 12,650.26 hit on March 21. The BOJ decision saw the benchmark quickly reverse early losses of more than 2 percent which were prompted by concerns over the U.S. economic recovery. Market players said that the central bank has responded to market expectations, which triggered buying from foreign investors who have been betting on further gains in the Japanese market this year. In an effort to end decades of grinding deflation and inject life into the world's third-largest economy, the BOJ announced a radical shift in policymaking, adopting a new balance sheet target and pledging to double its government bond holdings in two years. At Governor Haruhiko Kuroda's debut policy-setting meeting, the central bank shifted its policy target to the monetary base from the overnight call rate, which is at zero to 0.1 percent. It also said that it will increase purchases of Japan real-estate investment trusts (REITs) by 30 billion yen ($323 million) per year and increase purchase of exchange traded funds (ETFs) by 1 trillion yen per year. The Topix jumped 2.7 percent to 1,037.76 in heavy trade, with 4.27 billion shares changing hands, the highest level in nearly three weeks. It compares with last month's daily average volume of 3.24 billion shares. "The market welcomed the BOJ's stance by responding to market's expectations," said Yasuo Sakuma, portfolio manager at Bayview Asset Management. He said the central bank's decision to bring forward the timing of open-ended asset purchase was widely expected, but the BOJ's plans to increase the amount of purchases of REITs and ETFs was a positive. "It gave an impression that it is a central bank which can communicate with the market well." The REIT index, which was trading in negative territory earlier, immediately responded to the announcement and ended 4.3 percent higher. Japan Hotel Reit Investment Corp rose 4.3 percent, Mori Hills Reit Investment Corp jumped 6.0 percent and Nippon Building Fund Inc added 6.0 percent. Real estate and banking stocks, which are also beneficiaries of the government's reflationary policy, fared well, with Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group gaining 5.5 percent and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group adding 6.6 percent. The real estate subindex gained 7.4 percent and was the best sectoral performer. Mitsui Fudosan Co jumped 7.8 percent, while Mitsubishi Estate Co surged 7.2 percent and Sumitomo Realty & Development Co soared 10 percent. "Foreign investors like these three big real estate firms, and these stocks will likely continue climbing," said Norihiro Fujito, a senior investment strategist at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities. However, Fujito said that the Nikkei's further gains would depend on how exporters fare, as their stock prices generally determine the index's performance. "The weak yen trend is seen to have paused for a while. The Nikkei will likely rise to 13,000 if the dollar rise towards 97 yen, but if not it will probably hover around 12,000," Fujito said. A weak yen lifts exporters' overseas earnings when repatriated and boosts their competitiveness in the global market. On Thursday, the dollar rose to 94.62 yen after the BOJ's easing, pulling away from a one-month low of 92.57 hit on Tuesday, though it is still off a 3-1/2 year peak of 96.71 set a few weeks ago. Exporters also advanced with Toyota Motor Corp up 2.8 percent, Honda Motor Co adding 3.4 percent and Sony Corp 0.2 percent higher.

Geneseo's giving programs support the outstanding student body, faculty, and staff that the college has worked hard to cultivate. The generosity displayed by donors provides provides scholarships for deserving students, funds faculty research and conferences, provides equipment and travel support for athletic teams, and so much more. Giving back to Geneseo allows donors to support the passions, interests, and activities they loved during their time at Geneseo, giving a current student the same opportunities they had. As Frank Vafier '74 said,
"No matter where we came from, we arrived at Geneseo and the world got bigger. We did things we never thought we would do. We went places we never imagined we would go. We met bright, engaging people we never dreamed we would meet. And because of those experiences, we went on—often in adverse circumstances—to make our own way."

The concept of ecosystem services has become important for our understanding of the role of nature for maintaining human livelihoods. But is biodiversity essential to maintain ecosystem services? Many studies suggest that higher biodiversity allows a higher level of ecosystem services, but others argue that there is little hard evidence, especially from tropical environments, to document the necessity of high biodiversity for provision of most ecosystem services. Thus, effective valuation of biodiversity for ecosystem services and long-term studies and monitoring are needed to fully understand the complex biodiversity-ecosystem service interface. This introduction briefly reviews some of the main arguments in this debate and provides an overview of the other five special issue papers. Exploring biodiversity and ecosystem interactions in the context of the provision of ecosystem services, these papers address population and biodiversity coexistence, the importance of dung beetles in agricultural landscapes, the knowledge and use of palms by local communities, bioprospecting for drugs and how biodiversity conservation may have added benefits in terms of improved watershed functions and health.

During the last decade, scholarly criticism of sweatshops has grown increasingly sophisticated. This article reviews the new moral and economic foundations of these criticisms and argues that they are flawed. It seeks to advance the debate over sweatshops by noting the extent to which the case for sweatshops does, and does not, depend on the existence of competitive markets. It attempts to more carefully distinguish between different ways in which various parties might seek to modify sweatshop behavior, and to point out that there is more room for consensus regarding some of these methods than has previously been recognized. It addresses the question of when sweatshops are justified in violating local labor laws. And it assesses the relevance of recent literature on coercion and exploitation as it applies to sweatshop labor. It concludes with a list of challenges that critics of sweatshops must meet to productively advance the debate.

Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, coauthor of Jewish with Feeling
"Berland has been preparing all her life to re-create Fanny Neuda's deeply useful and soulful Hours of Devotion. She has given us a woman's book of illuminations, a compilation of prayers that moves from suffering to gratitude, a work that sanctifies life."
Edward Hirsch, author of Lay Back the Darkness
"This rich, spiritually vital collection shines with integrity and wisdom. Contemporary Jewish life as a whole is immeasurably enriched by Berland's graceful restoration of Neuda's prayersprayers that had long articulated the deep yearnings of Jewish women. A book every Jewish home should have, to be cherished and transmitted from generation to generation."
Rabbi Miriyam Glazer, editor of Dancing on the Edge of the World
"Hours of Devotion is, among other splendid things, a book about fate: the fate of these prayers treasured by generations of Jewish women; the intersecting fates of Fanny Neuda and Dinah Berland, who has made the prayers available again; and how fate itself is shaped by prayer, which carries the wisdom of individuals and communities backwards and forwards through time. This is a remarkable book, one that will move the reader both to reflection and to prayer."

"My decision to attend Saint Mark's was based on career opportunities. I love the fact that we interact with students in the Archdiocese of Vancouver through the in-school practicums. I would recommend this program to anyone who is interested in teaching...or in a comprehensive education in the humanities, which has the potential to lead to so many other fields."
– Alexandra Glinsbockel, Corpus Christi Alumna and Saint Mark's BA Candidate, 2016
Unsure if you have the necessary pre-requisites? Need help with your application? Contact a Saint Mark's College recruitment officer to review your course history and eligibility. We need good future teachers: make an appointment now!
The BA program offers 3rd-year entry, so you can start after completing the equivalent of two years of university-level courses. You can start your studies at Corpus Christi College or any other university or university-transfer college. You can then transfer directly into 3rd year at Saint Mark's to complete the final two years of your Bachelor's degree.
If you're in high school, start your studies at Corpus Christi College for the smoothest transition into Saint Mark's. You may also take your first and second year courses at another university or college, but ensure you speak with one of our advisors to ensure you will meet transfer requirements.
If you are already an undergraduate student, you can apply to transfer into Saint Mark's. Don't worry if you are missing prerequisite courses! Our prerequisite courses may be substituted for others, under review on a case-by-case basis. Simply submit your application, and our advisor will contact you to discuss your options.
As a Saint Mark's student, you will enjoy state-of-the-art learning facilities on the UBC campus, in the newly updated Vancouver School of Theology building.
Less than five minutes away from UBC's bus loop and major campus facilities, the VST building boasts smartboards, bright and comfortable study spaces, and a vibrant student population.
Saint Mark's College campus is also less than five minutes away from the VST campus. As a student, you'll benefit from our active Campus Life and Ministry Office, and have full access to research materials at the John Micallef Library, our brand-new computer lab and printers, and much more.
At the heart of our community is the Saint Mark's Parish chapel, where liturgical services are offered every day of the week. The Pastoral team provides numerous opportunities for spiritual formation, service learning, and one-on-one guidance. Please contact Alexandria Fung, Director of Campus Life and Ministry, to learn more (firstname.lastname@example.com).
As a Saint Mark's student, you are also a UBC-affiliate student, giving you direct access to a myriad of UBC clubs, amenities, academic resources and wellness services.
Upon graduation from Saint Mark's, you will be eligible to apply for UBC's Education program with three teaching concentrations: History and English, as well as Catholic Studies*. With internship experience at an elementary and/or high school setting already completed, you'll stand out against the rest. For more information on the program, click here.
Following graduation from UBC, you will be eligible to work in public and private schools. However, with your third teachable concentration in Catholic Studies, you'll also have a distinct advantage over competing applicants for teaching positions in Catholic schools.
"It has been the long-time dream of several archbishops to have a Catholic school in Vancouver that helps prepare Catholic teachers to teach in our 78 Catholic schools. I look forward to seeing the program's graduates enter the Catholic school system."
– Doug Lauson, Former Superintendent, Catholic Independent Schools of the Vancouver Archdiocese
"For those who are specifically interested in teaching in Catholic schools, Saint Mark's is now the place for them. Saint Mark's is the only school in this province offering the third concentration – Catholic Studies. Students who complete our program can also teach at public schools, but they will likely have an edge and an advantage [over other candidates seeking positions in a Catholic setting?]."
– Gabriel Pillay, Executive Director of Strategy & Planning; Dean of Student Services, Corpus Christi College
"Sixty-five per cent of independent schools in British Columbia are faith-based, which means that, in addition to the certified curriculum, they also teach faith values to students. A Bachelor of Arts program that prepares prospective teachers on how to integrate their faith values in the classroom will enable Catholic schools to better prepare students for life by following the example that Jesus set for us all."
– Peter Froese, Director of the Federation of Independent Schools of BC
"For decades, Catholic schools have not had the privilege of a BC Catholic College to provide training for graduates of our secondary schools. Saint Mark's College's initiative will provide BC schools with British Columbia-trained teachers well versed to teach Catholic religious studies.
The five Catholic school systems of BC (Vancouver, Victoria, Nelson, Kamloops, Prince George) commit to supporting the College's initiative by providing teaching practicum placement options for these student teachers.
Furthermore, we commit to support the College in any way possible in…providing a Bachelor of Arts in…Catholic Studies with a dual English and History concentration."
– Beverly Pulyk, Superintendent, Catholic Independent Schools Nelson Diocese and Chair, Catholic Superintendents of BC
*Catholic Studies is not a provincially recognized teaching concentration; however, is recognized by the Catholic Independent Schools of the Vancouver Archdiocese.

Diabetes Health Center
Measuring Blood Sugar: The Eyes Have It
Ultimately, says Klonoff, "Where all this technology is eventually heading is toward an artificial pancreas."
The pancreas, the organ that produces the hormone insulin to metabolize glucose is not functional in people with diabetics. Creating a replacement organ is the Holy Grail of diabetes research. At the ADA meeting, French doctors reported early success in their bid to accomplish this.
"It's based upon an insulin pump that is surgically implanted under the skin in the abdomen wall, providing a two- to three-month supply of the hormone insulin," explains lead researcher Eric Renard, MD, of the Hopital Lapeyronie in Montpellier, France. "And a glucose sensor is implanted by the jugular vein."
The pump looks like a yo-yo; the insulin sensor is about 10 inches long and about 1/10 inch in diameter. The surgery itself requires general anesthesia and takes about 45 minutes to perform.
When glucose levels are out of whack, a signal is sent to the insulin pump via a wire implanted under the skin -- essentially aping the function of a healthy pancreas.
So far, so good, says Renard, who implanted the device in two men at the end of last year. They have been followed for seven months and are doing well, he says. Since, then he has implanted the system in five more people.
"Treating diabetes without injections and without fingersticks sounded, until now, like a dream," says Renard. "But this dream may become a reality"
Unfortunately, no technique lives up to this promise today. In March, the FDA approved the GlucoWatch, a watch-like device that helps people with diabetes measure their glucose via tiny electric currents. It is "the first step toward noninvasive, continuous glucose monitoring, but it's only a first step," says Robert F. Monoson, MD, chief medical officer of DMCare Inc.
The problem with the GlucoWatch, he says, is that it does not allow for changes of insulin dosing based on numbers.
We need a "glucose monitor that's easy to use, continuous, and where the information is transmitted someplace," says Monoson, who has diabetes. To that end, he is helping develop a wireless glucose meter that tells people what their blood sugar is and what they should do about it.

Elizabeth Bear's forensic magic
Subterranean Press has published a new ebook collection of Elizabeth Bear's stories featuring Lady Abigail Irene Garrett, sorcerer and sometimes official investigator in Bear's 'New Amsterdam' world. The five stories in 'Garrett Investigates' span the years from 1879 to 1941 in Bear's counterfactual universe, in which American colonies stayed under British rule, though restively, and thaumaturgy has been developed as a science.
Garrett would likely have much to talk about with Jane Tennison, the British Detective Chief Inspector played by Helen Mirren in "Prime Suspect." Both are women in authority navigating a male-dominated world, both have complicated personal lives and both could be said to drink too much. Garrett is feistier, though, and I don't think Tennison ever (1) had an affair with a prince (2) met Nikolai Tesla or (3) donated some of her blood to a hungry vampire. »Read Full Blog Post
Westphal played with Barbara and the Karousels polka band
As a boy living on his grandfather's Cedarburg farm, Joseph Westphal used to pick up sticks and pound on garbage can covers while listening to music.
"Then he'd turn boxes upside down to make different sounds. He just loved playing the drums," his ex-wife Joyce said of Westphal, who went on to perform for half a century as a drummer and singer with the polka band Barbara and the Karousels and other polka groups. »Read Full Article

For 'Wicked' star, it's easy being green
When actress Jennifer DiNoia was 5, her parents took her to see a musical production of "The Wizard of Oz" at New York's Radio City Music Hall.
Young as she was, DiNoia wasn't the least bit frightened by the show's villain, the green-skinned Wicked Witch of the West. (What actually scared her was the big-headed Wizard.) Instead, she was captivated by the sight of the witch flying over the audience. »Read Full Article

Dollar Drops on Forecast for Extended Fed Stimulus
The dollar fell versus most of its major peers before a policy statement from the Federal Reserve, which is forecast to maintain its monthly asset purchases.
The Bloomberg U.S. Dollar Index snapped a three-day gain as companies added fewer workers than projected in October and inflation rose the least since April. The Fed will maintain purchases of Treasuries at $45 billion and mortgage-backed securities at $40 billion, according to economists surveyed by Bloomberg. The euro rose for a fifth day versus the yen after Spain exited a two-year recession. Brazil's real dropped.
"The data that came in this morning was weaker than expected," Sireen Harajli, a foreign-exchange strategist at Mizuho Bank in New York, said in a phone interview. "There's no strong case to see any kind of Fed action from now until next year. It confirms the dovish tone for the Fed."
The dollar weakened 0.2 percent to $1.3766 per euro at 12:51 p.m. New York time. The shared currency rose 0.2 percent to 135.21 yen. The dollar was little changed at 98.22 yen.
The greenback has lost 1.7 percent this month versus the euro and has slid 4.2 percent year-to-date. Against the yen, the U.S. currency has been little changed this month and has appreciated 13 percent since the start of 2013.
Bloomberg's dollar gauge, which monitors the currency against 10 major counterparts, fell 0.2 percent to 1,004.40 after rising 0.4 percent yesterday, the most since Sept. 5.
Higher Volatility
A measure of price swings among the currencies of Group of Seven nations has increased this week. The JPMorgan G7 Volatility Index rose to as high as 7.84 percent today after sliding to 7.48 percent Oct. 28, the lowest since Dec. 21. The 2013 average is 9.38 percent.
Brazil's real declined versus most major peers as slower-than-forecast inflation damped speculation the country's central bank will raise borrowing costs next month. The currency was little changed at 2.1832 to the greenback after weakening earlier as much as 0.4 percent.
The Indonesian rupiah sank versus all of its 31 most-traded counterparts on speculation companies stepped up dollar purchases to meet month-end payments. It decreased 0.6 percent to 11,175 per dollar after earlier sliding 1 percent, the most since Sept. 30.
New Zealand's dollar was little changed at 82.59 U.S. cents after Moody's Investors Service Senior Vice President Steven Hess said the company discussed stripping the country of its sole remaining top credit rating amid concern the nation's current-account deficit is exacerbating its vulnerability to external shocks. The currency, nicknamed the kiwi, dropped earlier as much as 0.5 percent and strengthened 0.4 percent.
Fed Stimulus
The Fed will wait until its March meeting to slow its $85 billion of monthly bond buying, according to a Bloomberg News survey of economists on Oct. 17-18. The purchases, made to push down long-term yields and spur growth, tend to debase the dollar. Policy makers refrained from slowing stimulus last month to await further evidence of economic recovery.
"With expectations having settled on March or April for the start of tapering, there's little reason for the Fed to stick its neck out today," said Adam Cole, head of Group-of-10 currency strategy at Royal Bank of Canada in London. "The bulk of currency managers' positioning is still located in long dollar-yen positions. That doesn't mean those positions have to unwind but that is a risk as we get to year-end." Long positions are bets currencies will gain in value.
The dollar will decline to 92 yen by year-end, he forecast.
U.S. Economy
American companies boosted payrolls by 130,000 in October, figures from Roseland, New Jersey-based ADP Research Institute showed today. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for an advance of 150,000.
The cost of living in the U.S. rose 1.2 percent in September from a year earlier, the smallest increase since April, after advancing 1.5 percent in August. The Fed's target inflation rate is 2 percent.
The dollar will face an "interesting test" if the Fed's post-meeting statement suggests tapering could be delayed further into 2014, David de Garis, a senior economist at National Australia Bank Ltd. in Melbourne, wrote today in a research note.
The euro strengthened versus the yen after Spain's National Statistics Institute said gross domestic product grew 0.1 percent in the third quarter compared with the previous three months, when it declined 0.1 percent. A separate report showed economic confidence in the euro-area rose more in October than analysts forecast, adding to signs the region's recovery is gaining momentum.
Krone Gains
The Norwegian krone gained versus most major peers, advancing for a second day versus the dollar after Norges Bank Governor Oeystein Olsen said he'll avoid policies that drive up the property market.
"The comments remove one of the big obstacles for the Norwegian krone," Morten Helt, a senior analyst at Danske Bank A/S in Copenhagen, wrote in a note to clients. "The risk of Norges Bank turning even more dovish than they already are should be relatively small."
The krone gained 0.3 percent to 5.8807 per dollar and rose 0.1 percent to 8.0965 per euro.
Trading in over-the-counter foreign-exchange options totaled $28 billion, from $48 billion yesterday, according to data reported by U.S. banks to the Depository Trust Clearing Corp. and tracked by Bloomberg. Volume in options on the dollar-yen exchange rate amounted to $7 billion, the largest share of trades at 25 percent. Options on the dollar-Chinese-yuan rate totaled $5.2 billion, or 19 percent.
Greenback-yen options trading was 20 percent more than the average for the past five Wednesdays at a similar time in the day, according to Bloomberg analysis. Dollar-yuan options trading was 110 percent above average.

Beer-Braised Brisket With Onions
Total Time
Prep 25 mins
Cook 4 hrs
Clipped from a cooking magazine. I also saw it on epicurious.com. The cook's note associated with the recipe stated: Brisket improves in flavor if braised 2 days ahead, cooled in sauce, uncovered then chill, surface covered with parchment paper or wax paper and pot covered with lid. Remove any solidified fat before reheating. Slice cold meat across the grain and reheat in oven with the sauce in a shallow baking pan, covered, for 45 minutes.*Cover the meat in the liquid as much as you can while cooking to avoid the meat from drying out. I tried to add more beer and balsamic later but it didn't taste the same. I think beef broth or water would have been a better choice to get more liquid for gravy.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (3 1/2-4 lb) beef brisket, trimmed of fat
- 3⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 lbs onions, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced lengthwise (6 cups)
- 1 turkish bay leaf (or 1/2 California bay leaf)
- 1 (12 ounce) bottle beer, not dark
- 1 beef bouillon cube, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Pat brisket dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Heat oil in 6-8 quart wide heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown meat well on all sides, about 10 minutes total. Transfer meat to a platter.
- Cook onions with bay leaf in the fat remaining in pot over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, 10-12 minutes.
- Remove from heat and transfer half the onions to a bowl.
- Arrange brisket over onions in the pot and then top with the remaining onions from the bowl so the meat is covered with half the onions under and half the onions over the meat.
- Add the beer, bouillon and vinegar to the pot (liquid should come about halfway up sides of meat) and bring to a boil.
- Cover pot (make sure hanle on pot lid is oven proof) and braise in middle of oven until meat is very tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
- Cool in sauce, uncovered about 30 minutes.
- Transfer brisket to a clean cutting board. Skim off any fat from sauce and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Slice meat across the grain and serve with the sauce.
Most Helpful
Delish! I had a 5lb brisket and used sweet onions. They caramelized up beautifully. I kept baking until I could easily twist a fork in the meat - took about another hour longer than the recipe. Because I knew it would probably braise longer I used about 1 + 2/3 of a second bottle of beer. Wish I would have used more - or added more during the baking. I made this the day before and when it was done - there was no juice left, only amazing beef and onions. The next day I sliced the cold meat (not easy) and then put it in a (9X13) glass baking dish. I poured about 2 cups of beef broth over the top, covered tightly with foil and put in a 350 degree oven for about 25 minutes, basting with the juices over the meat a few times. It was wonderful with a little of the juices (didn't thicken) and some horse radish. My house smelled heavenly for 2 days. The only changes I will make next time is to add more beer in the beginning. I will be recommending this recipe to others.
I had never had brisket before, I can guarantee we will have it again! I used about 20 oz of beer total so that it came up far enough on the meat. Used a stock base instead of bouillon cube. After the juices cooled I added them to a roux to make a more gravy-style sauce, and it was spectacular on the meat and mashed potatoes I served it with. Thanks so much Oolala!
So easy and yummy. It was even better left over the next day. Next time, I may cook it 1 day and eat it the next. Will make again.

This plugin is really cool, except for a little detail I can't find how a workaround for:
Word count must be including something more than captions, because e.g. 6 images with no more than 10 words total, reduces my text to 1 word, when set to 40. It seems it's adding-up html tags, or attributes… I don't know.
Is there a way to change its priority to work AFTER the shortcodes are processed? (or before?)
Manually-added more tags get overridden so this plugin could have simply used the whole content and cutting it up on the fly, rather than permanently modifying my posts. Or is that overriding a bug?

Jackson is a coveted cornerback recruit who has offers from many of the nation's elite programs.
Originally from Illinois, Jackson recently revealed his list of top-10 schools, which can be seen at Scout.com. Looking at his list, it's easy to see why Jackson has such a tough decision to make. Every school on the list is impressive.
Jackson will have to weigh his options between the two Los Angeles programs, decide if he wants to return closer to his home state, pick an SEC powerhouse or play in Florida for one the Sunshine State juggernauts.

Inside the President's Climate Toolbox, Part 2

As President Obama decides how to tackle the growing threat of climate disruption, he might look to precedents set by the two Roosevelts when they occupied the White House during the last century.
Theodore Roosevelt, who served as president from 1901 to 1909, subscribed to the "stewardship theory" of executive power. As legal scholars describe it, he believed he was "a steward of the American people and it was his responsibility to improve their situation."
Roosevelt explained his obligation this way:
My belief was that it was not only (the president's) right but his duty to do anything that the needs of the Nation demanded unless such action was forbidden by the Constitution or its laws…In other words, I acted for the common well being of all our people whenever and in whatever measure was necessary, unless prevented by a direct constitutional or legislative prohibition.
Twenty years later, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt resolved to attack the Great Depression as though it was the invasion of a foreign enemy. FDR made full use of the authorities delegated by Congress and pushed for more. He sometimes acted first and asked for permission later. Because he enjoyed popular support, Congress often complied. However, Roosevelt also said this in an address to Congress:
In the event that Congress should fail to act, and act adequately, I shall accept the responsibility and I will act.
In taking the oath of office, each president promises to defend the Constitution. Under Article II, Section 3, the Constitution requires the president to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed". Theodore Roosevelt interpreted this to mean the president should enforce the nation's laws in general rather than only implementing specific directives from Congress. What are those laws today?
There are at least 112 relevant statutes in which past Congresses have delegated powers to the Executive Branch related to energy or the environment, including 96 that specifically address global warming, climate change or greenhouse gas emissions. The delegations appear in laws dealing with agriculture, commerce, education, foreign relations, public health and transportation, among other topics. Other statutes – for example the Clean Air Act – contain requirements and authorities for the Executive Branch to deal with climate change without mentioning it.
For example:
- Congress has declared that "weather and climate change affect food production, energy use, land use, water resources and other factors vital to national security and human welfare", that "ongoing pollution and deforestation may be contributing now to an irreversible process (and) necessary actions must be identified and implement in time to protect the climate".
- Current law requires each president to send Congress a proposed National Energy Policy Plan every two years, outlining energy production, use and conservation objectives in increments of 5 and 10 years. Among other objectives, the purpose of these plans is "the stabilization and eventual reduction in the generation of greenhouse gases".
- Under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), it is the "continuing responsibility of the Federal Government to use all practicable means…to improve and coordinate Federal plans, functions, programs and resources to the end that the Nation may … fulfill the responsibilities of each generation as trustee of the environment for succeeding generations…."
- Statutes on environmental education state that "there is growing evidence of international environmental problems, such as global warming, ocean pollution and declines in species diversity, and … these problems pose serious threats to human health and the environment on a global scale".
- The Global Climate Protection Act of 1987 requires each president to develop and propose to Congress "a coordinated national policy on global climate change."
- The United States remains a signatory to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), approved by the Senate and signed by President George H.W. Bush in 1992. The Convention obligates the United States to help stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere "at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system" and to bring our human-caused carbon emissions down to 1990 levels. We agreed under the UNFCCC to "protect the climate system for the benefit of present and future generations of humankind."
These examples only scratch the surface of cases in which Congress has recognized climate disruption and established national policies to deal with it, including delegations of power to the Executive Branch. (For a specific list of statutes, see Attachment A in this document.)
Any reasonable analysis will show that President Obama has made modest use of his authorities so far. He has issued the fewer executive orders than any president since Grover Cleveland.
Now, as FDR concluded about the Great Depression, climate disruption is invading the United States like a foreign enemy. It is inflicting physical damages, loss of life and growing burdens on federal spending and the economy. Yet we are still injecting greenhouse gas emissions into the weather like steroids. It's a very good time for President Obama to flex his muscles.

3 Responses to Inside the President's Climate Toolbox, Part 2
Don't look now, but the CO2 level for January 27th (they report it weekly) at Manu Loa is almost 396 and recent monthly reading have been consistently 2.5 ppm higher then the same month a year before. Perhaps due to the fact that the world recession has eased and also (maybe??) carbon seep from thawing permafrost is starting to kick in and (maybe??) the climate carbon sinks are saturating. At any rate if we have moved from 2 ppm to 2.5/3 ppm annual rise that brings 450 in about let's say 18 years. Better break open that toolbox, Mr. President- I have a feeling the 'intermediate phase' of the great climate disruption is upon us!
Thanks for laying out Obama's options, Bill. Goldstein's comment above could provide additional motivation to act.
Ultimately it's going to come down to whether he has the vision to exercise those legal options, and accept that asset devaluations are less important than the world's ability to grow food.
David, Mauna Loa samples are still well within the established noise in the record, which goes back to the '60s. No need to hurry this along, it will come soon enough. 2 ppm/yr is bad enough.
But let's strive for accurate reporting, so we can insist on truth based outcomes. Even a 1.5 ppm / yr increase would not be cause for celebration. We need to go NEGATIVE by 2040.

Great shot. How did you get the colors like that? Did you use photo editing software? I waited an hour for the geyser to erupt and got tired of waiting.
This shot is infrared. That's why these surreal colors. IR images on film were always black and white unless a photographer used some filters. However, in digital world the IR info is still "stored" in RGB channels. It's then up to a photographer's fantasy to mix the channels for some "recolorized" results. This is one of them ...
I have no words! ..ciao Laura R
Lukas, another one of your excellent IR shots. I don't think you used your R72 filter for this one?Did you?? If I tried this with my R72 the 5 second exposure time would blur the gyser into an unrecogniazable blob!
Thank you Paul and yes, absolutely true. This shot would be impossible with the IR filter, if you want the water look 'crisp'!
Thumping infra photo.
There are no words...Laura Raggio, "^%$@%?@#$", is all I could come up with...(lol).
Fantastic shot. And great technik.!!!

A perfect crime.
The paper the victim,
the weapon a pen.
A perfect time.
The thoughts in my head,
a prayer, I say, amen.
A perfect day.
The mood is right,
it is time to begin.
A perfect way.
So I write, Father please,
forgive me for my sin.
A perfect start.
The liquid poison,
slowly kills the page.
A perfect heart.
Slowly breaking,
from all the rage.
A perfect death.
Please go in peace,
Your soul to keep.
A perfect breath.
For it's the last,
please don't weep.

Goodbye little rain,rest your soul in peace.
Your memories will remain in our hearts,
Lay down little munchkin in cotton candies.
The echoes of your laugh left in the corner of our house.
You'll be our forever baby, our little brave warrior.
time has come for you to leave,
Take away all our pain and sorrows.
Bring with you our hugs and kisses,
A cuddle of love and kindness,
The spirit of unconditional love.
Goodbye, little Rain,I sing you a lullaby.
To keep you quietly sleeping until the morning comes.
Until we embrace tomorrow in a promised paradise,
Where no more tears, pain and sickness.
Only joyful hopes and happiness arise.

"Daddy" the way I call my father
The man who loves my mother
The man who gave life to me
And the man who will risks his life to protect his family.
He's not showy about his feelings
But I know he loves us unconditionally
He gets angry when his siblings were hurt
And he makes us laugh the way he dances and tells us jokes
Now..he left us already
His silly jokes,crazy dance moves now were gone
Coz he went to a far away land
In a place where hurt and sorrow has no place in man
I miss my daddy a lot
His voice,
His jokes,
His crazy dance moves
And his being father to us
I miss everything about him!
I know God has a plan
And I give everything into His merciful hand
Pls.take care ofmy daddy in heaven
Coz someday we'll see him again
And continue the sing and dance with him again...

It was like a whisper-
My wife delivered the sad news-
"Your grandfather was dead."-
And so he was-
Her eyes was awfully sad-
Touched me gently on my back-
He was old-
The time I started to noticed him around-
He was a relic-
He talked about the war-
The warring in the land-
Dispute over religion-
The greatness of the past Presidency-
How Marcos summary killed young idealist-
How my uncle survived the bullet-
And wrote a letter to Imelda to help him-
The hospital bill in exchange of his ideology-
How he comes on this land-
Answered the migration call-
In the Southern Philippine-
He was young-
He loves democracy-
He went to street and joined the protesters-
To end up injustices-
He tilted the land-
Grow coffee and Avocado-
He sniffed the salty wind of the Celebes sea-
As he stood at the cliff of Matutum-
Sometimes they sale fruits in the public market-
Those years of the early 60's-
While my mother was just a kid-
Then we came-
My cousins and us-
We sat at the table-
Trembling in the dark of dawn-
That was during our summer escapade-
While grandma prepared for us a hot milk-
Then he walked near beside-
Staring on us-
Preached the narrative of his life-
As I perceived-
He was a learned man-
Our pillar collapsed-
My knees gave up-
I sat on a bench-
My body drenched by my cold sweat-
My eyes drawn beyond the wall-
Like I search things on the mirror-
Tears lined on my eye-
An innocent face-
Stared back from the reflection of the clear pond-
"Eat it..eat it..eat it..",my older cousin whimpered-
We wore straw hat-
And a checkered polo-
And the place was cold-
That morning, we went into a brook-
We forgot time went by-
It was already two in the afternoon-
"Let's go home!", I don't recall who said that-
We walked briskly-
Hold a big salmon on our hand-
We were afraid-
The sky was slowly given up from the dark-
The rain started to pour-
Then we saw him-
He was there signaling us to halt-
Tending his carabao-
At six-
We gathered on the sofa-
Only the flickers of the light glows-
He sat on the dark corner-
Listened the radio transistor gibbers-
The mountain loomed in silence-
The radio announcer talked about the cold front-
The wind outside whistled-
At school he asked on us sometimes-
How things going on-
He bragged about it-
To his neighbors-
On his house at Tieza-
There was this book rack-
I sat there often-
Read carefully-
Those stories about the Greeks-
The Filipino contemporary authors-
Because of that I love to stay in the library-
Hand gripped the yellow mongol pencil-
Scribbling some words on crumpled papers-
And hid it somewhere-
At college he went to our house at Silway-
He watched the television-
I read silently the Doveglion-
Near beside him-
He was weak and knew his end was coming-
I touched his head always-
He breath weakly and coughed-
How I love my old man-
My son likes to play beside him-
He was on his death bed-
Then my wife-
Was standing right in front on the workplace-
She looked at me on the eye-
And I knew the smile of there is something-
Isn't right-
I knew he was gone-

Who knew…..
Who knew life would take this turn
So early in time
I didn't get a chance to take it all in
The time for me to spread my wings
Came to soon
Who knew….
My last day
Would be with the ones I love
To laugh with friends and yes, my love too
Who knew….
Life is love, when you are embraced by all
I wasn't done loving you by far….
But God needed me so he called
Who knew…
Who knew life would take this turn
I love you all though time is short
Embrace each other and please don't mourn
Instead, celebrate my life
I'm still dancing in heaven and I want you to dance too.
Who knew ?

New sheets
Light a candle with that familiar smell
Who can tell?
I have come this far
Setting up barriers to box myself
To stop picking up the traces of when you left
Emptied your cabinet, filled your duffle bag
Pick it up when you're ready
I'm moving on to something empty
Now I'm making new history.
Let this room be a start of my new memory
Pain is more when there is no more "if"
I'm glad you left me hanging on a cliff
No water to drown me
Only a kaleidoscope sky to pull me up.
Turn off the lights, let's end this love
I'll sleep alone or with a stranger
Even if that's the way, still its better
You always give me pieces I can't build
Now I'll give you a space you can't bridge
Coz when I fall I fly.
When you left, I didn't die.
I am a free soul you can't defy.

Mother, are you coming when the sun stop crying?
The moon beams in tears in the sky
Its tears are the clapping drums on us
Are you going to leave our back on the ground?
Papa had sold his soul in the bar
Where his father refused to accept defeat
when are you coming back to sing the lullaby?
Our aging mind await the new rain
Exclamation of our heart brings down the unholy elegy
To unmasked feelings
Written to say goodbye not to smile
When are you coming home mother?
Goodbye flaps so high above my eyebrows
I can not denounce the watering diction of his eagerness
When shall we see again and embrace?
I stand alone at the door staring
Looking at the sound of dignity swinging at pace
Goodbye mother, goodbye Ugochimyerem
For the ageless sky shall be my shield.

The ones you love
Can make you laugh
The ones you love
Can make you cry
The ones you love
Can steal away
Ere you have the chance
To say goodbye
Rue not the missed chance
To have bid them farewell
To have given to them your love
Will have served
…Just as well…

First intent of an Elegy poem
As a fine mist you disappeared a day
Returning to the world of the souls
Leaving a deep and heart felt pain
Only time would heals the great sorrow
Making your immense absence and loss most

From that day to the next week, snow, rain and sleet -no sun.
Everything surrounding us is black,
Precious presents become precious past
Blurred cloudy water filling our vision
All together we grip, holding tight to memories taken,
Memories that have become dreams at night and haunt are days.
Were you ever here, my friend?
We whisper what could have been.

The day I chose you
Compared to all the others
I saw the uniqueness of your colors
Looking back when you flew away
Broke my heart in pieces and stole all peace in living
When you were found my heart raced fast
I was beyond grateful that you came back
We moved forward and life was good
Until one day when you seemed strange
I saw you bleeding out in pain
Then news struck that you were sick
and surgery would bring an unknown risk
The vet said there was a slim chance
Like the usual medical script
Uncertain and scared I couldn't bare
To hear the panting from your chest
All from too big an egg
You couldn't lay in your nest
Your appetite was lost and I was at a loss
I cupped you in my hands
Warm and unharmed
You were like snow melting away
Drifting from my heart
A change of season
There was a reason
For this lesson to be learned
You held on for the holidays to make our last memories
When the day of your dying came
It sure left me crying
But I know that you are...still flying

I was asleeped lying on the floor,
And adorned with lovely flowers;
Peculiar things were there,
When with a core heart they bathed me in a blessing showers:
I don't know what the strange things were going at my house;
Like an infant, I was upraised on shoulders;
Each and everyone was there,
All those who loves me, were with lots of loving rose to bid me Goodbye, mere:
Indeed each and everyone who loves me was there; .
Still, I was called by their mouth
with shriek diluted with deep torment fear;
All of them flowed tears,
Causes profound calmness instead of fear.
Who never wants to pluck my face, on that day was there;
With an embellished loving heart;
How can I be loved and tributed by thy mouths and hearts?
How can I? This induces in my eyes materialistic fear.
I don't know, why they had stunned by my calm face;
Why they astonished by seeing me asleeped? ;
Oh! With a groaning and deep torment, Why were they awaking me from my dreams of peep? :
Each phase and soul,
Starts wobbling there, by seeing me;
Where I was made asleeped forever;
Those who had a strong love for me,
From those hands, I was made buried forever and ever!

Adieu Michel, adieu the great gem
An icon bore when the wind stood still
As I waved this emotional hands in fear,
My tears hung in the mid air
And the gravitation could not pull it down.
Say hello to Mbadiwe, the great hunter.
Say me well to the underworld.
I do not look with watery eyes
But dwells among the black pots howling
Supplicating like a priest
As you walk down the lonely road,
Remember those you left behind;
In the world of sin
May your protective hands be upon us.
Remember the chick you left behind,
It mourned for you with its sackcloth, darker than the coal.
How be it you left so soon in horror.
Your glories still weeping
Soon men would trampled upon it like the grasses
And the trophies you worked so hard for dies.
With yesterday's eye,
We lifted you up high cheering.
Up you raised your hands merrily.
The field respected you and honours your footsteps
Audience slept with your thought in their mind.
And the wind drums cheerfully in your ears as you ran.
Many gifts flew to your palms because you made us proud
In the world of your own you were and ruled passion.
But now,
The worms had feasted on that pretty body.
Body which I adored thousand times
Well, the creator knows best.
Goodbye Michel
Wing the virgin face of our eager sky
Till we meet to part no more.

I'll sleep when I die
Sleep when I die
Go out like Dad
Couldn't speak when he died
The look in his eyes
Like a newborn
Wishing for words
All the mistakes
Hindsight really is
So was the price
Of that glassine
Every ounce of hope
In a swift rush to the brain
Green light went flat
There was no more

I find it strange coming home
and not seeing you this evening
I know I shall never see your eyes again
but I shall always feel their gaze
anytime thoughts of you come to my mind
I can still hear your pitiful moan
the first day I kept you in the kennel
Forgive me for not realizing
that a spirit like yours
was not meant to be caged
After you were set free
how different and alive you looked
jumping around in the yard
with those precise energetic leaps
So goodbye my little Gypsy
I shall never see you again
but you will always dwell
in that secret spot in my heart
Thank you for the beauty
you brought into my life

Over and over again, I am losing track.
Opportunities wasted with tears, sweat and blood,
chances blown into smithereens, a breached contract
like explosives ready and done but all went dud
A table once bountiful, every dish and ware,
aroma of extravagance, hard to resist,
array of choices from platter after platter,
the sky's the limit until it ceased to exist
Deafening silence vacated the entire hall.
Everything were been raided and swept out empty.
Surprising predicament,ricocheted dodge ball,
so fast to anticipate, such velocity.
Everything is accounted for a certain price,
nowhere else to take cover from fate's divine reach,
like mortgage, all due with collateral excise,
sucking up to its last drop, a gluttony leech
Life goes insanely inside out and upside down,
risking all in, a gamble of uncertainty.
Time's the enemy, it runs out as we're all bound
To death, the end credits reeling with apathy
If I am given power to turn back clock's hand,
undoing the past is my paramount mission,
apprehend mistakes for myself to reprimand,
the reversal of fortune based on a delusion.

Goodbye friend indeed
For I wish not to say this
Class has given the verdict
Coins have won the battle
Thus they say
Inferior is my clan
They say I am a gold digger
They called me a scavenger
They say rag is my skin
I tell you
I wish not to be an eminent of pauper
Fingers are not equal
All fruits don't ripen the same time
Oh fate!
Partiality is your name.

Tranquil 'pon a drizzling sunset
Alone with clouded sorrow
Partly anguish, vividly hollow
Armor piercing from hatred
Blurred mementos in the fast lane
a wildfire spreading fast with haste
Ashes all over, scattered like rain
A tragedy right at your face
My chest is starting to erupt
from all corners, losing focus
Everywhere are echoes, elsewhere's abrupt
Thirst to end this, nothing to lose
Interfering my train of thoughts
Your hair are all over the place
Oh how will I ever forget?
Oh how my ego float in daze?
Stressed out, so tired and broken
as I puffed my last piece of stick
Processing again and again
Running out of words 'til the nick
Vague and Pure
Pieces of Miseries
Sad but Obscure
Dream of the wrong person
Live trying to be in the right.
Close your eyes shut
Sequel of puzzled dreams
You owe them explanations.
They can't pay with a rewind.
Love is endless
Could be a river of sins
Or a plateau of pretensions.
How could I spell it out?
When my heart's dry.
I once dream
T'was once a fantasy
I made it reality.
Walk Past like a nightmare
Now I reminisce with a bottle of LIGHT
Here's to a box of life
Only escaping in dreams
Fear tied the realist
Close thy eyes til' the innocents awake.
Six straight bottle of beers
Pick yourself up, walk in the clear
My last text was a revelation
Your response was a mere reaction
Of what comes for us tomorrow.
You built a barrier of cashmeres
A deafening silence calling for tears
But a smirk is all I can give
I don't breathe agony. It's not how I live
Truth sets me free, the cliché disabled you from me
You are now blinded by my reality
It's still me, the weird girl you once fancy
I can only plead in silence
My words to bend the stereotype of my decadence
But this won't keep me still, I need to pay the bill.
Our short memories will be my reference
A proof of being felt above the city of iridescence
Thousand miles apart
All I have is a pen and paper to deliver my heart
To a definite, saddening, heartbreaking end
This expires the vague collage of our happy trend.
People are like ripples,
Running across the lake.
No matter how hard you try,
You can't catch them,
And keep them in one place.
People are like ripples,
Drifting across the lake.
Despite all your efforts
You can't hold them close
And keep them next you.
People are like ripples
Reaching across the lake,
They become distant memories
Echoing in my mind,
Creating a sweet, bitter taste.

So eloquent the beauty absorbed around you;
You uplifted me by your sweet aroma.
Oh, I'm very sorry to say,
That day in May caused a breath to pay.
You stole my heart away
And cured my parading heartache;
Only if I'd known what would have brought that day,
Then I'd have hidden and gone another time.
I felt plagued and wanted to die;
As a lover would take a shot for you, I'd dodge infinity for you.
Yet only a stranger we both were,
I'm here writing this letter swollen with a million tears of heavy cries.
Maybe it could have been fate that we unofficially met;
A destiny resulting in both loss and gain.
A second's glance is certain to be the catch,
Since here I stand alone in the rain.
A passive reflection of sorrow illuminates from the scar;
My heart begins to beat slowly in rhythm with my eyes.
The ticking of the clock abruptly stops;
"I know you're up there," I finally whisper

White veil, misty eyed
in eternity he lay....
standing silent at his side
head bowed
pain inside
her mind shadows,
retraces each day....
moments, seasons.... reality sets in....
a longing breath for yesterday
goodbye she cries
as she turns away
emotions lost
a new season dawns
a tear fall away....

Look at yourself Mr Hunt!
How can you be trusted.
Appalled by indoor comments of a prisonary view.
Native species fade through the mass destruction of our lands,
Yet you in the veil of science
Conserve a ruthless plan.
Poison takes on innocents
Have you not learned life's lesson
To see myxomatosis ravage, rage and burn in the devil's reflection.
Yet you. Oh no! Yes you
Believe that what you do is best
For future preservation, to ensure your culling's met
By eager fools in genocide
On the islands of your shore.
The year 2020 you will celebrate I'm sure.
But me and others like me
We grow older by the day
Bardot tried to implore you
In an intellectual way.
Blighted by your lack of vision
To impose a steady hand,
To inject mass steralisation
That would retain you as a man.
The slow death and the shooting,
Toxic meat wrapped up in plunder.
Roll up. Roll up conservation
In the land we call down under.

Standing 'round the stone
waiting to say goodbye,
how do you say the words
when your heart is empty.
Nothing can prepare you
for the pain of loss
when you lose someone so
close to you.
Waiting for the words
to come forward from
your lips, yet nothing
emerges past the pain.
Then you hear a soft
voice nearby saying
that which you
Goodbye Mommy.

I never got to say Good bye,
And wish you on your way;
But sitting here thinking of you,
I'm not sure what to say
I missed my chance to tell you,
That I loved you with all my heart;
And now your gone forever,
God called for you to depart.
I feel so alone knowing,
I'll never see your shining face;
So full of laughter and light,
No one could ever take your place.
But I'm not sad for you,
Because I know where you will go;
I'll just remember all the good times,
That your life has had to show.
I remember riding beside you,
While you tell a story to me;
You lived your life to the fullest,
Of that we can all agree.
It's time for me to Say Goodbye,
Time to set you free;
And I hope that wherever you are,
You'll smile when you look down on me.
~For My Grandfather~

A year ago we said Goodbye with tears in our eyes.
So many things I miss about you mostly what you would say or do.
You lived life the best you could and always tried to do good.
The little Irish girl still thinks about you, she lost her Dad that day too.
I hope you are at peace in Heaven above and surrounded by God's love.
A sad day in my life but what could I do,
Dad I will always miss you.
In Memory of my Dad

I wish things never turned out this way between us, I gave it my all only too late,
our lives in a ruckus.
It hurts so much to say goodbye,
especially to see our young one cry.
Please remember that I tried my best,
what ever you do, don't put our marriage at rest.
I love you so much sometimes I can't explain, my heart aching to hold you close
The mistakes I've made in the past please forgive me, don't let that brick wall you
have up get lost at sea.
I've always wanted it to work just never knew how to do it, only knowing now my
futile efforts would cause you to quit.
No grudges held against you is all that I know, not giving up hope is all I can
You're tired I understand and say you've made up your mind, please don't go thru
life as if you were blind.
I'm trying to become someone you knew before, never giving up when both our
hearts are sore…….

How do you say good-bye
to someone who is not yet gone?
How do you hide the tears and sadness
to help them stay strong?
I do not know, I could not say.
I never expected this situation,
for it to happen this way.
I am sad, I do cry, so tell me
how do I say good-bye?
My friend a new world awaits
no hard ships, no pain.
Where the sky's are always sunny
no more dark clouds or rain.
Smiles, and laughter, angel's will be everywhere.
Maybe a few you know
will be waiting to see you there.
Will you do me a favor
as you roam the golden streets?
Can you find my grandpa,
and give him a hug for me?
I love you my friend truly
from my heart and soul.
I'll keep your memory with me
everywhere I go.
I'll drink a toast to you
everytime I fill my cup.
I'll wish on your star
I'm sure you will bring me good luck.
I will not tell you good-bye
just that I will see you soon.
Who knows I may be next,
so save this friend a litle room.
