Rate Dr. Amer Karam
Dr. Amer Karam's Ratings
Dr. Karam is compassionate and extemely optimistic, which is exactly what I need at this time of my diagnosis and treatment. I absolutely feel as though I am in good hands and have no worries or concerns at this time of stress. I would not want any other doctor to look after my physical dare.

Because of Dr. Karam telling my grandmother that a certain type of treatment(Avastin) would not make her better, my grandmother refuses to at least try going through with treatment, which means she will have only a few more months to live. She has battled uterine cancer for the past three years. I thought Dr. Karam would be an excellent doctor for her because of what my family members had said about him in the past. Before I flew into California from Maryland, Dr. Karam had told my grandmother about Avastin and how it may be able to stub the growth of her tumors. I'm not sure why he had a sudden change in attitude, but he completely went against what he said in the first place and told my grandma that it would be ineffective. Ok, ladies, yes Dr. Karam is very handsome, but sheesh, don't let that rule your perspective of him.

Dr. Karam is my doctor. I had a bilateral nipple sparing mastectomy in the summer of 2013. I am a registered nurse who has worked in surgical ICU s for over 14 years. I did a lot of research on this surgery I was very particular on who was going to preform this surgery. I came across Dr.Karam,I read his research looked at his credentials but most of all I read what his former patients had to say about him. They all loved him so much, not only for his gifted skills as a surgeon but his compassion, and I absolutely agree. He was exactly what I wanted,such a important combination for such an emotional surgery. I sent him an email explaining my needs. He replied back within the hour,he was so caring and reassuring I knew this was it, he was my doctor. I made an appointment and flew from South Florida to California. One of the best decisions I ever made was to have him as my surgeon. I had no complications and healed beautifully.I'm very proud to say he is my surgeon.

I was a patient of Amer Karam, M.D. at UCLA.He is greatly missed.I cannot say enough about this wonderful physician, surgeon, and man.I work in the pathology-know many physicians.But Dr. Karam is "exceptional."He is not one in a million, but one in a lifetime.Yes, he is really that good. Excellent bedside manner (kind, caring, reassuring, and compassionate), thoughtful (returns calls/emails promptly, never rushes you during an office visit), so "detailed" (read my entire lengthy medical history prior to my initial consult), and a gifted surgeon (performed a minimally-invasive robotic surgery for my 9.2 x 9.2 cm. endometrioma). Dr. Karam is also versed in many disciplines:OB/GYN, Pelvic and Breast Oncology, Robotic Surgery, Palliative and Hospice Care (UCLA). He is quite youthful in his appearance; don't let that concern you. He is "brilliant." I will always be both grateful and hold a special place in my heart for this wonderful physician and man.

Dr. Karam is the best doctor I have ever had! He is a gifted surgeon with an amazing bedside manner. His diagnoses are accurate and he gives you many treatment options. He is kind, caring and compassionate. He spends as much time with you as you need and always returns calls immediately and if there are any post-surgical (or any) problems he works you into his schedule that day! He even calls you on holidays to relay biopsy/test results. I can't say enough positive things about this doctor!

Can't wait for this game to come out. This could turn out to be awesome!
Loving the Morgan Freeman ;)
I like the look of this one but over the last 2 Lego games I've played I have found some boredom creeping in. Not that I plan on getting a Wii-U anyway.
What a fun looking game. My interest in this console is growing more an more.
I really want this. Possibly more than GTA V. Is that wrong?
Plus, quotes from Shawshank Redemption in a LEGO game = win.
Plus, quotes from Shawshank Redemption in a LEGO game = win.
haha that was pretty great. The humour in Lego games has always drawn me to them but the gameplay is so shallow that I assume I would get bored quickly. There might just be enough content here to keep me entertained for a while, but with GTAV coming out soon after... hmm... that might be a problem for LCU for the few people in the cross-over between the two games.

Decatur Gun Club
The origins and growth of the Decatur Gun Club parallel that of the clay target itself, and the games created to hone and test shotgun shooting skill. Shotgun sport shooting with live pigeons and later, glass balls existed in the U.S. from the early 1800's. But the first "clay pigeon" and "trap" to throw it were not developed until about 1880 by George Ligowsky. William Brett From Decatur was the second manufacturer of clay targets in the U.S., which he called the "Decatur Red Bird". Considered the oldest shotgun shooting sports club in Illinois, the Decatur Gun Club was founded soon after clay targets were invented. Chan Powers and Bert Hildebrandt were two of the mentors of the club, first located near East William Street Road and 22nd Street. In the early years, the club occupied sites in the Hess Park area, the Wyckles Corner area, the Macon County Fairgrounds, and an area west of the Fairgrounds before finding it's home of the past 61 years at the north end of Faries Park.

Government Rejects Environmental Appeals To Halt Tronox Fairbreeze Mine
EMPANGENI, South Africa, June 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Tronox Limited (NYSE: TROX) today announced that it has been notified by the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Agriculture and Environmental Affairs, or KZN DAEA, of the dismissal of several appeals against the Environmental Authorisation (EA) for the company's Fairbreeze mine in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20051118/TRONOXLOGO-a)
Tronox was granted the EA in July 2012. The important positive appeal decision by the KZN DAEA confirms that Tronox may continue to undertake construction activities, subject to conditions on its mining area.
Tronox is pleased with this outcome as it brings it one step closer to successfully obtaining all required authorisations to build and operate Fairbreeze. The department's decision confirms that the mining project is firmly grounded on the sustainability principles of the South African environmental legislation. Tronox continues to stress the importance of an open and constructive dialogue among all stakeholders so that a mutually beneficial long-term relationship can be established. Previously, Tronox successfully countered other appeals and recently successfully defended its early construction works against an interdict application brought by the Mtunzini Conservancy in the Durban High Court. The company remains hopeful that all parties will now realise that there is no benefit in further opposing its Fairbreeze project and instead recognize the benefits of cooperative engagement.
When operational, the Fairbreeze mine will preserve more than 1,000 permanent and contractor positions and create an additional 1,000 indirect jobs during the construction phase of the project. Approximately ZAR530 million will be spent annually on services and products, with more than half spent with black economic empowerment (BEE) companies. Currently, the early-phase construction activities are proceeding according to plan. Once in operation the Fairbreeze mine is expected to yield 190,000 metric tons of titanium dioxide ore and 60,000 metric tons of zircon over a 12-year period. Tronox is committed to environmental stewardship and sustainability in all aspects of its business operations. The company has included environmental sustainability considerations in its plan for Fairbreeze and has begun the rehabilitation of its Hillendale mine, which Fairbreeze is designed to replace. About Tronox Tronox is a global leader in the production and marketing of titanium bearing mineral sands and titanium dioxide pigment. Through the integration of its pigment and mineral sands business, the company provides its customers a dependable supply of brightening solutions for a variety of end uses.

Northrop Grumman Cobham Intercoms Receives First Production Delivery Order For AN/VIC-5 Enhanced Vehicular Communication System
BALTIMORE, Oct. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Northrop Grumman Cobham Intercoms LLC (NGCI), a joint venture between Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC) and Cobham plc (LSE: COB), has been awarded the first production delivery order of the AN/VIC-5 enhanced vehicular communication system.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121024/LA98563LOGO)
A photo accompanying this release is available at: http://media.globenewswire.com/noc/mediagallery.html?pkgid=21690
The announcement was made during a ceremony at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Aberdeen, Md., on Sept. 27. The U.S. Army PEO Enterprise Information Systems hosted the event to celebrate the decision for material release of the AN/VIC-5. This first production delivery order marks the official beginning of the program's production and deployment phase.
"AN/VIC-5 is the most advanced vehicular intercommunications system available to meet the demanding environment encountered by our soldiers," said Kay Burch, co-chair of the NGCI board of directors and vice president of Northrop Grumman's communications, intelligence and networking solutions business unit. "We look forward to working with the Army to begin fielding this solution that defines a new standard for vehicular intercom systems." AN/VIC-5 is an integrated intercom system that supports internet protocol communications to soldiers on the battlefield. It is the successor to AN/VIC-3, which has been proven in Iraq and Afghanistan on more than 100,000 U.S. ground vehicles. NGCI holds a $2.4 billion indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract with the Army, awarded in 2009, for delivery of the system, which completed rigorous validation and verification testing earlier this year. "We're excited to provide this enhanced capability to the warfighter and look forward to working with the Army to continue to evolve this product as future needs arise," said Daniel Gelston, co-chair of the NGCI board of directors and vice president of Cobham's Tactical Communications and Surveillance business unit. AN/VIC-5 comprises a range of control consoles, operator stations, cables and headsets. The system's customizable, mix-and match, modular architecture scales to accommodate a number of platform requirements. This intuitive, flexible approach allows users to combine system components to provide clear, noise-free communications between crew members inside and outside the combat vehicle to dismounted users and combat net radios. Selecting from a variety of standard modules enables system scalability to support vehicle command post operations and tactical operations centers with up to 58 users and 16 combat net radios.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Hello everyone. So you'll notice that I have two audios up this submission. The reason for that is that since I started doing these audios, I have had A LOT of requests to do a story about a virgin. These requests have been roughly divided down the middle in wanting something sweet, or something rough. Instead of just picking one, I decided to do both and give the listeners the choice of which they prefer. :)
So obviously this is the rough one. Heh.
Hopefully you enjoy it. I look forward to your comments and feedback as always.
Also, thank you to everyone who has listened and commented and given me such high votes. It's all very much appreciated.

Commentary: Voting Rights Act distorted in gerrymandering
WASHINGTON -- During Reconstruction, Mississippi created a "shoestring" congressional district, sweeping so many blacks into a narrow district along the river that other districts had comfortably large white majorities. This was racial gerrymandering deplored by liberals.

There was a time when it seemed like The Canyons didn't have a friend in the world. Less than a month ago, the decadent Lindsay Lohan starrer was rejected by SXSW, with the film festival citing "quality issues" as its rationale. Even with Paul Schrader (writer of cinematic benchmarks like Taxi Driver and Raging Bull) directing the movie, The Canyons seemed to live in exile. But no longer will the Los Angeles-set drama walk this lonely road — IFC Films has opted to pick up the movie for distribution.
RELATED: Lindsay Lohan Vs. Helena Bonham Carter: Who's a Better Liz Taylor?
In an official press release, the company announced that it would be releasing the film, with IFC President Jonathan Sehring calling Lohan's starring performance "terrific," and citing the movie as "a wild ride through the psyche of [writer] Bret Easton Ellis." The film, rumored to be to riddled with as much controversy offscreen as viewers will see on (all stories attributed to tabloids-mainstay star Lohan), centers on a group of L.A.-based 20-somethings launched into a catastrophic plane of debauchery.
RELATED: The Unlikely Pairing of Lindsay Lohan and Woody Allen
With IFC standing behind The Canyons, the film's future looks a good deal brighter than it might have just a week ago. But as the connotations sprouting from SXSW's rejection are sure to follow the movie through its release, we wonder if Schrader's picture will ever fully recover.

The wife has a plaque on her desk that reads, "to err is human…to blame others shows management potential."
In this system, incompetence is rewarded while intelligent dissection of the issues is deemed too complex for the public to digest. It's best to keep it simple.
Lies are repeated until they become immutable truths, parroted by the media and their faithful followers.
We worship the pundits because they invoke an emotional response to problems that require logical, thoughtful solutions.
My mom always used to tell me that you shouldn't make important decisions in an emotional state. The politicians and the mockingbird media ensure that emotion reigns supreme while logic and truth are collateral damage in this war on intellectualism and honesty.
We feel personally empowered when our team wins, and rationalize away any evidence that our team may not be the omnipotent demi-gods they portray themselves to be.
You want to solve our problems? Turn off O'Reilly and Olbermann and turn on your brain. Read a book, any book. Read a gum wrapper if that's all you have.
Look at these issues not through the prism of partisanship and punditry, but through the clear-eyed lessons that history attempts to teach.

Dr Sandy O'Sullivan
Wednesday 16th April, 2pm to 3pm
Monash Indigenous Centre Library
Building 55 level 2. Clayton Campus
Imagine you're doing a multi-year Australian Research Council-funded project on the representation of First Peoples in national museum spaces, and you've already visited 150 (of the eventual 425) museums over three countries and suddenly you find your work grinding to a halt because of a major sticking point for your participants. In this presentation, I'll be revealing some of the moments that led to this and the solutions that finally restarted the conversations and the research.
The project, now nearing completion, began as a way to identify effective representations and engagements of Indigenous communities and peoples in the leading museum spaces of their own countries. The project asked a single question of the visited museums: what works? This presentation will focus on some of the stories and ideas that have emerged from this question, and will highlight the difficulties that some museums had in dealing with their own reductive ideas around identity. The dissemination of the research is in the standard form of a book and a range of journal articles, but the presentation will also show and talk through the challenges and value of using a more unconventional research output.
Dr Sandy O'Sullivan is an Aboriginal (Wiradjuri) academic in the Research Division of Batchelor Institute of Indigenous Tertiary Education. She is a current ARC Senior Indigenous Researcher, an enduring OLT Teaching Fellow, and holds a PhD in Fine Art and Performance. Her current international research study focuses on the representation and engagement of Indigenous peoples in major museum spaces. Sandy is the Indigenous representative for Interpretation Australia and is committed to supporting positive outcomes for both museums and other keeping places.

'Factotum and Friend': Two Central Australian case studies in ethnographic encounter and exchange
Wednesday 20th August, 2pm to 3pm. Monash Indigenous Centre Library, Building 55 level 2. Clayton Campus. Mickey Akwerre Pengarte Dow Dow was a Northern Arrernte man born at Harry Creek, Central Australia around 1856. Dow Dow had been present when Spencer and Gillen documented Arrernte ceremonies at Alice Springs in the summer of 1896. In the 1930s he produced detailed illustrations in order to explain complex Arrernte beliefs to another budding anthropologist, Olive Muriel Pink. Dow Dow's career as an 'informant' continued when he met the young linguist and ethnographer T.G.H. Strehlow in 1932 and went on to share details of the mythologies and ritual of his traditional lands.

Okay so there is this one character I have that just likes to cause chaos. I made him a giant about 100 feet tall or so, but he likes showing off his size especially among any humans that he runs across. No one has been seriously injured yet, but I'd like to pay him a visit to hopefully straighten him out.
I am traveling in the woods nearby where I know he roams around. He was my creation, but once I make anyone they become a bit unpredictable. After walking for about an hour I sit down, and pull out my compass, and map. 'That's funny, he should be around here.' I think to myself. I let out a deep sigh, and walk on. He has to be somewhere within about a mile of here. Looking to my right I see the river that is his main water, and food source. It is around noon so maybe he had taken a nap after lunch or something?
Looking around I get a good take of my surroundings. Tall pine trees mixed with maples, and other like trees for as far as I could see. I was currently standing in a sort of bald spot in the forest nearby the river. Looking up I could see the sky was quite clear, and the sun shone brightly. The silhouette of a few birds cross the sky, and their calls echo through the area. It was actually quite refreshing being out here like this. Nature always had that effect on me.
The ground gave a light crunch as I walked on. Still no sign of the big guy, I should really be able to hear him quite easily. 'Why did I have to give him so much attitude? Maybe if I had toned it down a bit I wouldn't have to be out here on this wild goose chase?'
Upon hearing the water lightly splashing in the river it felt as though it was calling me. I didn't bring anything that I could really get wet in, but I still loved the water. Walking over I could smell the water. That crisp clean sent of fresh water. I reached the bank of the water where if I went any further it would be muddy. I wasn't a fan I getting down, and dirty so I admired it from where I was.
The water sparkled from the sunlight in it's small ripples. I could easily make out the rocks on the edge of the water bed. It was so clear I could even make out some fish swimming with the current. All in all it was very beautiful. I listened to the peaceful sounds of the river until the hairs on the back of my neck started to stand up. It almost felt like I was being watched.
Slowly I turned around, but before I could really see a wall seemed to push me down into the mud. I landed backwards on my butt, and hands. I groan in frustration as I bring my hands up, and attempt to shake off any mud. Surly enough a deep rumbling sound started to vibrate through the air. I look up to see none other than Chad laughing his ass off.
His slightly tan skin almost glowing in the afternoon sun, and his light brown hair covering his hazel eyes as he laughed uncontrollably. It was him alright. I did my best to stand up, but just slid in the mud once more landing on my butt. 'Well I'm going to have my work cut out for me.' I took a deep breath, and tried to get his attention.
"Hey!" I yelled out, but it seemed to be in vain. He was laughing so hard at my now second fall that his hand was over half his face, and he looked to be going red. I did my best to just stay calm as he had his laughing fit. Why did he have to enjoy messing with humans so much? I swear I didn't make that a part of his personality.
I watched as he proceeded to fall back from his kneeling position. Landing on his ass with a thud that shook the ground, and trees. Luckily I had already been on my own ass in the mud or I would have surly fallen again. Slowly I stood up doing my best not to fall again. I managed to walk back onto the grass, but I was still all covered in mud. Begrudgingly I wiped some of the mud off of my hands, and onto my jeans.
Chad was now on his back with one hand over his stomach as he seemed to catch his breath. I stood beside him with my hands on my hips.
"Hey!", I yelled out once more. That seemed to get his attention. He turned his head toward me.
"Oh, brave aren't we?" He said slyfuly. A grin forming across his giant mug.
"What was that stunt you just pulled?" I asked demandingly as I switched to crossing my arms.
"Just a little fun." He snickered. "Not much you can do about it though." His grin grew bigger. I did my best to keep my serious stare at him, but soon he reached for me.
"What do you think you're doing?" I frantically spit out as I became encased in his hand.
"You just seem so intent on talking to me, I figured I'd get a better look at you."
"Put me down this instant!"
"Ich" He blurted out as his hand started to lift me up. "Someone's all dirty. Now I need to wash my hands." He got to a kneeling position, and was easily leaning over the river.
"You can't be serious?" I bellowed out. His hands got closer to the water.
"Oh, I can't have mud on my hands. And it looks like a little someone could use a wash as well."
"I don't need...." I tried to protest, but my head was submerged before I could get another word out. The cold water sucked the heat out of me, and saturated my clothes. I would have much rather come home with muddy clothes than being soaked like this. Damn this jerk, I was going to have to kick it up a notch. I hated cold water.
I had only been submerged for a few seconds when he lifted his hand back up, and I could breath. I let out a gasp as soon as I my head was above the water. His hand went flat, and I was forced to hold on a bit to not be carried off by the current. I was actually a good swimmer, but clothes added a lot of drag. I glared up at him, and he seemed to enjoy my distaste in the situation.
"Seems like you need a bit more to get all this off toots." I hated that word, but before I could get a word in I was sandwiched between his hands as he did an almost lathering motion with me in the middle. Water splashed everywhere, and it wasn't a pleasant feeling at all. "Might as well get this pack off too."
"Hey...", before I could continue he had swiftly pulled my backpack off, and placed it on the grass. At least he put it somewhere somewhat safe. I sighed, but was met with more of this lathering motion as I was being covered with the chilly water. I began to shiver despite being moved around so much in his hands.
"Oh, is someone cold?" He said in an almost playful tone. He proceeded to pluck me up out of the water by holding my hip between his thumb, and fingers. My feet dangled in the air as I coughed, and caught my breath.
"You're going to regret this!" I managed to spurt out once I had caught my breath.
"Oh yeah?" He belted out in a tone that showed he was amused by my threat. His hand moved so I was right in front of his face. I couldn't even see his mouth I was so close, and at level with his eyes. "And what is a pipsqueak like you going to do?"

Yves Saint Laurent Life in Pictures
On His Birthday, a Look Back at the Life of Yves Saint Laurent
Few things gave Yves Saint Laurent greater pleasure than to see a woman looking stunning in one of his designs. "The most beautiful clothes that can dress a woman are the arms of the man she loves," he once said. "But for those who haven't had the fortune of finding this happiness, I am there."
If Saint Laurent were alive today, he would have celebrated his 78th birthday, following a time of great transition at the house he founded in 1962, where today, Hedi Slimane continues to honor his memory. Even changing the name of the house to Saint Laurent Paris has been billed as a way to "return to the fundamentals of YSL."
Yves Saint Laurent wanted to help women look and feel their best, and one of his most memorable mottos was, "The main thing is to last!" He's certainly remained relevant, as two biopics, Yves Saint Laurent and Saint Laurent, were released just this year about the designer. So, in honor of his Aug. 1 birthday, we look back at Yves Saint Laurent's lifelong mission, here in the gallery.

The Queens Museum will continue carving out its plan to become a world-class institution under new leadership come Jan. 1.
The museum's board of trustees selected experienced art professional Laura Raicovich as its new president and executive director on Thursday, following a national search.
Raicovich has been the director of global initiatives at nonprofit Creative Time, an arts advocacy organization, since 2012 and was chosen to lead the institution in Flushing Meadows Corona Park because of her vision for the future of the museum.
"Laura has spent the past two decades strengthening arts institutions, realizing the visions of artists and engaging diverse constituencies, and we are excited that she will be leading the Queens Museum," said board chair Peter Meyer. "Our shared philosophy on the future of the museum, belief in the power of the arts to exact positive change, and dedication to making the arts relevant to all audiences made her the right person to move the museum forward."
Raicovich has a bachelor's degree in both art and political science from Swarthmore College and a master of arts in liberal studies from The Graduate Center, City University of New York.
She also worked at the Dia Art Foundation, advancing to deputy director during her tenure, and as the senior publicist of the Guggenheim Museum. Raicovich was also a curator of public art for the Parks Department.
Former Queens Museum head director Tom Finkelpearl was courted away by Mayor Bill de Blasio in May to be the city's commissioner of the Department of Cultural Affairs, months after he oversaw the completion of a $68 million makeover of the museum, which reopened in October 2014.
Raicovich said her goal is to propel the museum into the future as an international destination.
"Looking forward, pairing engagement and innovation with exceptional artistic production will allow the Queens Museum to occupy a unique place in the pantheon of cultural offerings in New York City, to become an international model, and to serve all of Queens as a world-class art museum," she said.

Big Changes Planned for Lotte Market in Fairfax
New façade, better parking, less big trucks and traffic.
For many years, the Lotte market in Fairfax has been a popular grocery store, especially with its Asian customers. But its exterior has been an eyesore to the public.
Saving Sarge
Sarge, a 2-year-old brown tabby, was found recently by an exterminator in a crawl space of a foreclosed home. He is partially blind and deaf. A good Samaritan took him from the exterminator and rushed him to the veterinarian who then called a local cat rescue group, Helping Homeless Felines. "He was almost dead" said Val Garcia, president of the local rescue group. "I saw the vet records and can confirm the seriousness of his condition. I ended up fostering Sarge initially to help him heal."

Fairfax County Animal Shelter Gets Creative to Save Lives
Since 2013, Fairfax County has been the largest jurisdiction in the United States with a placement rate of animals above 90 percent. Last year alone, nearly 2,500 animals were adopted, which is nearly double the adoptions just two years earlier.
Finding Forever Families for Felines
Nonprofit helps Animal Shelters with overflow.

Mark Keam's House Bill 2090 and its companion Senate Bill 1260 introduced by Senator Creigh Deeds passed both chambers of the Virginia Legislature with overwhelming support. Both bills are now headed to the Governor's desk.
Letter: Question To Ask About Library
Letter to the Editor
To the Editor: In January, 2015 the Library Board of Trustees was given a document from the Department of Public Works that indicates Reston Regional Library will be rebuilt at its current location. At the September, 2014 Library Board meeting Library Director Sam Clay stated that a task force had been appointed to oversee planning of the new library, and he had been appointed to that task force. We would encourage Supervisor Cathy Hudgins to inform the community about the composition of the task force and to let us know how many Restonians are on it.
Letter: Monkey Business Is Deadly Business
Letter to the Editor
To the Editor: Maybe I missed hearing about it the last time a monkey attacked its owner. But I sure remember each time an estranged husband or boyfriend blows away his wife or girlfriend and her innocent children. I feel the pain and disgust in my gut.
About Riley's Life
Riley was a good puppy. He was trained to walk on a leash. He had lots of friends, played with them and had lots of bones and chew toys. Then he grew up to be a big dog he got very happy and then he got cancer and got sick.

LoveLove; we all need love in this world,But God, how do we tell if it's just lust for a girl?The devil has my mind in a twirl,Lord, do you feel what I feel?Can you heal this sick appeal?You always stop, you try to stop,But you get addicted.And when you think you've made on top,That's when you drop,It's back to hell; back to reality,Can't you tell you're a monster loving lustfully?Once you're done, there's nothing left but emptiness,Where's this happiness that the media promised?If only you knew it was a lie, all lie,There's no love truer than the one in sky.But why, why do I give in to the lies?My heart and my mind are at different parts of life,So God, I pray for that day you come a take my pain away.
BittersweetThe taste of passion is bittersweet,In the morning, guilt is quick to greet,But bow you're head low towards the Lord,And the he will make you feel complete.
CaffeineEvery sip I take,Sounds more like a child's scream.In this weather, their dreams dry along with the beans.But still Mr. Barista, I need caffeineSo get me another cup.Let's get another shot.If I don't know about it, then I'm clean.Right?
CryDon't cry anymoreFor the fighting is overExcept within us
AloneI dim the lights,And turn on the TV,Even though I'm not watching I leave it on,It's the news, seems like another fight,Why's the world so violent?I take my time going to sleep,I close my eyes,I see someone's face,I think I recognize her,But I can't remember her name,Who is she?With eyes like that it must be a sign,But I brush it aside,Even in my fantasies,I'm afraid.I'm afraid of showing my feelings inside.What's wrong with me?My life isn't that bad What's wrong with me?I won't accept that I'm sad I'm not, am I?Am I? I don't know The next day, I go to school,I hear laughter,Is someone talking to me?I hear voices after all,Though I can't make out any of them Is there something wrong with my hearing?There must be.Even thought people are laughing,I wonder how many are faking it,How many are wearing masks behind their depression?I look around and find my group of friends,Is that the right word to describe them?Sometimes I wonder T
UmbrellaWill you be my umbrella?That shelters me from the shards of glass that fall from the sky,The hate, the depression and the lies,Even within the mist, all I could see is you.Even within the clouds, all I need is you,During my darkest days,You lifted me to the skies,You took me away,To places that I thought never existed.Even though you weren't perfect,Even though you let in rain every now and again,I still held you tight,I did my best to show you the light.You sheltered my soul from the loneliness of this world,You became my wings, my reason for living.My umbrella.
I Had A Dream OnceI had a dream.Then I smashed it.I kicked it,I punched it.I pulled it to the ground until it couldn't make a sound.I heard it scream for help. I made it shut up.I made it tremble.I spit in its face.I wrapped it in dirt and left it to die.I stabbed it until it was unrecognizable.I was about to kill itThen I realized it was me.
Free FallingWhen is the last time,You ever tried?When is the last time?You haven't cried?You're looking for Nirvana,But somehow, you've ended up in the Sahara.Everyone around you spitting fire like Godzilla,They'll kill ya, Fill ya with lies,They do it without a thought,You never won any the battles you've fought?That's an understatement,You've got a lot more that you think you've got.Put down the needle, no need to depend on the shots.Like a serpent, the drugs slither into your mind,But it gives you a way to vent,Remembering her mesmerizing scent,Remembering how she broke you like lead.Once you've reached the top,There's no where to go but to drop,Free falling in the air,Falling through stairs,The high will bring you down,Down to your knees,A feeling so free,A box in your mind,Hallucinating until you die,A organized hell,You're trapped in this shell,From the top, is where you fell.Pass on the illusions,Or call your doctor now, for your reality pills,Take them until
I'm A GhostI'm not trying to creep you out or anything,But I'm a ghost.When I'm on the phone, I don't say a thing, I just breathe heavily.And I have to say, I sound heavenly.It's like I'm singing a symphony, a monotone melody.But they never answer it's 'cause I'm a ghost, but I just want to talk, see?I'm not trying to creep you out or anything,It just happens 'cause I'm a ghost,When I run a race there's no point running with haste.'Cause they run 30% faster when they see my face.I'm a ghost so the police are always on my case,Everyday, I'm tangled in an endless car chase.Everyone hates me 'cause I once cheated in a maze race,But what they didn't know is that I'm was being threatened to be erased.You don't know what it feels like to pee and have fall through the floor,To not know the difference between a wall and a door,Being simply put on the earth by the Lord and never being born.You don't know what it feels like only being able to listen to Korn,Having no home, so having
ScarsThe mind forgetsBut the heart remembersThe criss-crossing scarsShow like starsThe streaming tearsAnd haunting fearsFlowing painOf the slainThe cries of thoseWho never screamedPraying for lifeWithout a soundThe pleas for helpNever heardThe wishes that chanceNever grantedThe pain might dullAnd the mind forgetBut the heartWill always remember
Together ForeverI've been waiting a long timeFor this moment to comeAfter everything's that's happenedI still want to rememberWhat I saw in youThis isn't the first timeNor will it be the lastThat I accidentally breakOur photographsSomething about my accidentsMakes me thinkWill I ever get what I want from youOr will I ever be able to sayWe will be together, foreverYou said that we will be togetherWe will be together, foreverI said that we will be togetherNow its time to sayThat we will be together foreverReading your lettersAlways makes me smileI wanted to let you knowThat I will be a whileCause I'm fixing our filesI look at our photographsAnd I see your beautiful smileIt makes me wonderHow did I get so luckyWhen I got to be able to call you mineWill I ever get what I want from youOr will I ever be able to sayWe will be together, foreverYou said that we will be togetherWe will be together, foreverI said that we will be togetherNow its tim

Sometimes... It Just HurtsI'm stuck in rut in my life. I can't hear the sounds around me, the happiness seizes. I wish I could do everything right but, I always fall as I catch my breath.It all hurts; I'm never good enough for myself. I can't even impress myself. I'm in so deep that no-one can save me. Not even the ones who love me.I want to runaway and never look back but, that won't get me anywhere.Screaming in my head is those cries I want to yell because no-one truly knows my pain. I am broken I have been for so long. There is always someone one step a head of me and as much as I try I am always behind, even behind the ones who don't try or don't care.It's like as I entered this, I was left alone and left to dry from this pouring rain. I'M NOT OKAY! I'm in so much pain, everyday I wake worse then other. Everyday it's like I lose myself even more.I want to breathe again. I want someone to be hear while I'm trying to stop myself crying. I need a shoulder to lean onIt all hurts.
I will wait for you"I will wait for you"A whisper from himHis dieing sentenceSaid to herA love's promiseShe watches in horrorAs his eyes leak bleaknessHis chest vibrates no movementHis mouth echoes no breath"I love you"She whispers silentlyTo the love she has lostTo the life she must liveForever without himForever thinking of him
A silent WishI close my eyesBecause sometimesIt's overwhelming to watchThe wonderful beauty of the worldWould burn my heart like a flaming torchThe calm night sky is full of starsAnd the silver moon is smiling at MarsThe trees are gossiping, mixing truths with liesAnd our paths are lit by firefliesThe owls are purring their soft, sleepy criesIt's just the right time to make a silent wishAs a shooting star drops from the skies
Just to FeelI would cutjust to feel the painjust to knowthat my life was worth itEvery inch on my armevery inch on my legI would cutjust to feel the pain deep insideTo watch the blood pour downto cry in happinessI would cutjust to know that I still feelCutting my skinburning it completelyI would suffer in agonyjust to see if I still feelEvery scar that is thereevery inch that I cutit just proveshow much my life was worth itI would cutjust to feel the painto know that Im still aliveto know that I still feelFeeling of painfeeling of tortureI would cutto know that I still feelIn this world...
Lie To MeFingertips lace around my ribsAnd pull at my skinAs my breath catchesAt the coolness of your touch.Calm these trembling handsAnd hold them tight in yours.I'll move my lips on yoursJust so you don't have to.Hearts beat faster andMy breath shudders with insecurity.Press my body close to yoursSo I don't shatter into fragments.Lie to me one more time.Tangle your legs in mine,Brush your lips along my neck.Make me feel alive.
The Night Of Silence.Loud music blaring, older children scaring.It is the night of all Hallow's eve, when we believe the lies we weave.Parties continue well into the night, but it is different tonight.At midnight, there's a sudden hush, and shadow snuffs out the light.The dark is rising, just another lost warning.Demons blend in, walking side by side with masked human.All Hallow's has come, but no one knows to run.The dark is rising, just a forgotten warning.The dark snuffs out the light, and shall wreak havoc tonight.All Hallow's has come, and no one remembers to run.The dark is rising, and the precious light is falling.All Hallow's has come, and the massacre, has begun.
Ignorance Is BlissHow I envy foolsThose born without theEyes to see the darkness; theEars to hear the lies; theSkin to feel the chafing cold; theSense to realize:There's darkness all around us,Lecherous and black.We lead a meaningless existence.Bitter, I turn back.How I envy foolsLiving life, never knowingThe storm on the horizon;Her clouds fill up the skies.They do not see the warnings,Nor hear the gentle "sigh"Of the wind that's brewing.They do not feel the rain.Their never-knowing stateIs all that keeps them sane.How I envy foolsThey know nothing of painWill they ever find it,The truth that I now know?The sky is torn with violent lightThe stormy gales blow.The tempest is upon us,But still their eyes are blind.The lucky fools will never knowWe are all
ConstellationShe is dream dust,too bitter or wisefor her own good.A timeless dragon's soulsomewhere inside ascaled shell, burningthe silence in her bonesalive, honeysuckle sweet.She collects fireflies only toset them free at 3am,crying to an uncaring moon.& she's begging for the starsto take her away,make this house a homerigged in the sky.To me,She is already naked feverswimming through the cosmos& I orbit her.
Dangerous WatersYou only see broken, empty shells,They cut your aching feet,And give you a sense of solitude.You walk into the waves,They soothe your pain,They relieve you of sins. You want to run away,But every time you try,The call becomes louder.And you are so tired,So tired of running,From the call of soothing waters.So you swim,Engulfed by the comfort,But these are dangerous waters.You're swimming too far out,The tide will catch you,Drag you under.You will never resurface.
Lost and FoundLost and FoundHere I am walking around aimlesslyScars surround every part of my bodyLies are all that I seem to knowTears no longer come outJust the supreme silenceI walk for what seems to be foreverI lose the strength that I have to standI was done, I was done with tryingI wanted to sit and rotBut there you wereThe flickering light in my hurt eyesYou came for me...came runningAt this close to dead corpseYou whispered thoughts of hope- often true thoughtsIt was never merely flattery, and overreacted wordsNor was it fake for secret intentionsIt was honest, kind, trueYou are the only one that makes me feel this wayBecause you are the first one you found MEI want desperately to say I love you my friendYou help in me in so many ways.-March 2, 2012-
In everything I doIn the second it takesFor you to race through my mindThe world seems to have stoppedJust to give me time to savor the picture,The one of you that never leaves my headAnd the best part is I get to enjoy it oftenFor in everything I do, I think of youYou are my inspiration, my hopeBalance to my life is brought by youSo I thank you, my dear, my darling,Queen and guardian of my heart,For being yourself.
It's Your Sick WorldYou're bold, you're stupid, the blame game is your friend.Pointing fingers, shouting names,none of them your own.Swollen bellies, teenage bodies, where's the father,why the bother?Drugs replacing, mind is racing, colours facing, love escaping.Designer brands determine friendships,the popular ruining it all.See the girl in the chair, dead in the centre,judged, broken, offended, broken.What do you do?Judge, break, offend, BREAK!Tear down the creative,shatter the artistic.This is your life,walking a fake line.Cherish it, or don't.It's your sick world.
ShardsThe dream shatters around me like a broken mirror.Pieces of you surround me, but nothing seems to be clear.I'm still cleaning up the mess you made.You should have put down your fear,You could have stayed.I'm done chasing.I've stopped running.Have you even noticed that I'm walking the other way?I'm cut by the shards of what's left of who you were.Red tears stain the surface while the world is in a blur.
BrokenThe beauty & gloom I find in decay & destroyed placescannot ever be found insomeone else's eyesbutmine.
Why?If love hurts then why do we seek it?If we break promises then why do we promise in the first place?If hate is bad why do we carry it within ourselves?If change is good why do we cling to the past?If revenge is pointless why do we seek to carry it out?If life is unfair why do we seek to change it?If humans are smart then why do we fight?If people die then why do we seek friends?If what goes around comes around why do some people never get their retribution?If people fight why do we seek peace?When all is lost why do we so desperately cling to hope?If we care why do we ignore the people that need us most?If life is precious then why do people kill?If love is always there why do some never feel it?Why?
HeartI left my heart's door open,But no one walked in.I laughed but no one laughed with me.All that's left is a symphony.It's coming from the back of my heart.I'm waiting for someone to hear it.Will you listen?

Climate Commitment
Climate Commitment
At The University of Toledo, blue and gold make green as we strive to minimize our impact on the planet. To ensure UT moves in this direction, we have made sustainability a key component of our Strategic Plan.
Sustainability is ingrained even in our University policies, the University Sustainability Policy (3364-5-06) states that, "The University of Toledo is committed to environmentally responsible use of resources and sustainability in all areas of its environment. The university seeks to integrate the values of sustainability, stewardship, and conservation of resources into activities and services." The purpose of the policy is to, "To formally establish the university's commitment to sustainable practices, to foster energy conservation, and to provide for environmental stewardship."
To further our vow to sustainability, past President Jacob's joined UT with hundreds of other schools in becoming a signatory of the American College & University Presidents' Climate Commitment in 2009. As a signatory, UT pledges itself to becoming a climate neutral campus.
The University of Toledo completed one comprehensive Sustainability Strategic Plan to guide UT actions as they relate to climate neutrality and sustainability. This document includes:
- UT's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory through FY2014
- UT's Climate Action Plan to guide GHG emission reductions
- strategic goals and actions to further sustainability on campus

Stand on the rooftop and gaze into the rips where the stars, they drew a promise on his skin with needle tips.
Breathing deep the green-grey smoke, guilty spirals in brown eyes, holding hearts with Porcelain Doll because boy, it gets you high.
You can paint her face like mother's, sign your name in Freckles noir, but only smile disheveled-bitter at the thought that she were yours.
So put your hands up to your mouth and sew it shut with guitar strings, before you shout out to the world the "te amo" you cant sing.
