Your sadness in a shoebox
I put all my sadness in a shoe box and tucked the box under the spare
wheel of my cab without thinking that every time that punctured a tire
and had to change it, my sadness would come to light. The shoe box in
question belonged to a yacht that I never wear, so I decided to make
room for sadness and also got the shoes in the same box. Then I looked
up the ticket and went to the store to return them. Sadness is ...
Hong Kong 1st June - 4th June
It was a culture shock going back to Asia after getting used to the UK! People, buildings and flashing lights everywhere!! This is one of the richest places and also most densely populated places on earth, 7 million people in total which is almost 7,000 people per square kilometre! (Australia is 3 & UK is 260)
It's all built upwards with almost 8000 high rise ...

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia executed a de facto military takeover of a strategic region in Ukraine as the parliament in Moscow gave President Vladimir Putin a green light Saturday to proceed to protect Russian interests. The newly installed government in Kiev was powerless to react to the swift takeover of Crimea by Russian troops already in Ukraine and more flown in, aided by pro-Russian Ukrainian groups.

KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghan officials say there was an explosion outside the Afghan defense ministry causing multiple casualties, as U.S. defense secretary Chuck Hagel visits the country.
Afghan police spokesman Hashmat Stanekzai says an apparent suicide attacker on a bicycle hit the main entrance to the defense ministry around 9 a.m. local time. Officials are still trying to determine the number of casualties.
CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuela's vice president announced that President Hugo Chavez died on Tuesday, ending 14 years of rule by the firebrand socialist but leaving his party firmly in control of the nation.
Vice President Nicolas Maduro said that Chavez died "after battling a tough illness for nearly two years."
The death apparently sets up a presidential election to replace Chavez, whose illness prevented him from taking the oath of office for the term to which he was re-elected last year.
CARACAS, Venezuela — President Hugo Chavez, the fiery populist who declared a socialist revolution in Venezuela, crusaded against U.S. influence and championed a leftist revival across Latin America, died Tuesday at age 58 after a nearly two-year bout with cancer.
Vice President Nicolas Maduro, surrounded by other government officials, announced the death in a national television broadcast. He said Chavez died at 4:25 p.m. local time.

NO PHOTO ATTACHED-Caption 1- A sign offering offices for sale hangs from a quake-damaged building in Concepcion, Chile, on Friday. Several aftershocks struck different areas of the country, that was hit by an earthquake and tsunami. By IVAN PISARENKO, AP photo
CONCEPCION, Chile -- A father's unanswered cry for his missing son rang out Saturday from the wreckage of a fallen 15-story apartment building that has become a symbol of Chile's devastating earthquake.
BAGHDAD -- Billed as a key test of Iraq's nascent democracy, Iraqis fear today's parliamentary election will lead to a protracted period of uncertainty as the winners and losers try to cobble together a new government -- even as American forces prepare to go home.
None of the main political coalitions is expected to win an outright majority, which could mean months of negotiations and more violence despite hopes the balloting will boost efforts to reconcile Iraq's divided ethnic and religious groups.
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti -- A sharp aftershock jolted earthquake survivors from tent camps and hospital beds across Haiti's capital Wednesday, but relief efforts showed small signs of progress. Commerce began to revive, and U.S. troops working from a golf green and a stadium added muscle to the aid distribution network.
Damage and injuries seemed limited from the magnitude 5.9 aftershock that hit just after 6 a.m. about 35 miles from Port-au-Prince. But an eerie cry rose up through the tent camps that many residents now call home. Aid workers and soldiers scrambled into open air.
KABUL -- Days after President Barack Obama outlines his new war strategy in a speech Tuesday, as many as 9,000 Marines will begin final preparations to deploy to southern Afghanistan and renew an assault on a Taliban stronghold that stalled earlier this year amid a troop shortage and political pressure from the Afghan government, senior U.S. officials said.
ROME -- Colombian maritime authorities searched Sunday for an Italian chef believed to have gone overboard from a U.S. cruise ship off Colombia's Caribbean coast, officials and the man's family said.
There were different accounts about when and where Angelo Faliva, 31, was last seen as the Princess Cruises "Coral Princess" sailed from Aruba to Cartagena, Colombia, between Nov. 25 and 26.
Princess Cruises spokeswoman Julie Benson said Faliva was last seen on a deck at about 8:30 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 26, when he spoke with another crew member as the ship neared Cartagena.

A friends male rottweiler ll
True Story, Anal, Bestiality, Blowjob, Boy, Water Sports/Pissing, Young
Author's infos
Gender: Male Age: 20 Location: N/A
Posted: 2004-08-10
I am a firm believer, that we have no more choice, as to what we are drawn to sexually, than we have over what our taste buds like, when we sit down at the table.
This is a story of a boy that's trying to be mounted, by his friends male rottweiler. So, if that bothers you, please go read another story because I can't change what happened.
Here it is.......
When I woke up, in the middle of the night, " King " my friend's male rottweiler was sleeping on the bed with me.
I still had his scent on me, as I went into the bathroom and took a shower. Remembering the size of his cock and how it tasted, I washed myself, paying special attention, to my little asshole. As I worked my soapy finger up into me, pretending that it was his dog boner and that he was humping me. The soap on my finger was burning and stinging me but I didn't care because my little asshole had felt cheated, when it didn't get what it had needed, when I was down on my hands and knees with him earlier, on the kitchen floor.
Still my finger wasn't enough and I slipped another one up in there with it, stretching it even wider, as I worked them in and out, faster and faster. Still they weren't enough and I worked the third finger up into my little asshole and lost it, as I closed my eyes and felt my boy cum, oozing out of the end of my little dick.
All at once I heard " King " barking at the bathroom door. And hearing his barks, brought me back to where I was and what I was doing and ruinned it for me, as I let my soapy fingers slip from my little stretched asshole. My little asshole was throbbing and burning, reminding me about what had just happened, as I opened the bathroom door, so he would stop barking.
As soon as I opened the door, he came into the bathroom with me and I once again caught myself looking down at his hairy sheath, hoping to see it but it was fully covered. Hiding back up inside, of his hairy sheath.
He sat there watching me dry off and the little pink tip of his dog dick, started to show itself, before I was finished.
Looking at his little pink dick, sticking up out it's hairy sheath did something to me again and the next thing I knew, I was getting back down on my hands and knees and crawling towards him, hoping that he'd let me suck it.
The fear that he might bite me was still there, as I bent down and started licking on it, only to have his pee squirt up at me and make me jerk back from it.
It squirted up twice and then it just sort of oozed out of the little hole and that's when I opened my mouth and slipped it down over the end of it and sucked gently, while he finished peeing.
I couldn't believe that I was letting a boy dog pee in my mouth but the saltiness of it told me that it was his pee and not his precum and I ended up swallowing it anyway. I didn't care, my " URGE " was making me suck it and I did.
I didn't want him to get a boner, not yet anyway, so I was just sucking on it and not using my tongue. Trying to keep him from getting to excited and it was working.
As soon as he quit peeing, I pulled up from it and coaxed him to stand-up, in front of me.
Once again, I slowly slipped my head under his belly and started licking softly at the little hole, in the end of his hairy sheath, coaxing it to come out and it did. Sliding out slowly, inch by inch, until if was all hanging out, including his " Knot."
I licked all the way back to his bulb or ball or knot, whichever you want to call it, caressing it, with my warm soft tongue.
I reached up and took ahold of his long skinny boner, jacking it 3 or 4 times, making it start to squirt its sweet precum. licking at the clear liquid, until it was all gone.
By then I knew that I could suck him, without him turning around and biting me. So I turned it towards my mouth and started licking on the pink pointed tip. Slipping my open mouth over the end of it and sucking on it gently, making it slide in.
This time he started humping, as soon as he felt me sucking on it and I held my hand around it, keeping his "Knot " from going all the way in.
I could feel it swelling in my mouth and I could also feel his knot swelling towards the base of it and I knew that if I kept sucking that he wouldn't be able to get it all up into me so I stopped sucking and pulled away from it, letting his long skinny boner, slip from my warm mouth.
What I did next embarrasses even me, as I crawled around behind him and started looking at his little black wrinkled asshole, so embarrassed at the " URGE " that I was having, the " URGE " to lick and suck on it.
The more I looked at " IT " the stronger the " URGE " to lick " IT " got and the next thing I knew, I was leaning forward and touching " IT," with my tiny tongue.
As soon as he felt my tongue on it, he started moving his paws all around and believe it or not, started more or less backing up to me. Mashing his little dark wrinkled asshole against my warm soft tongue. It was like he was daring me to do it. But I couldn't work it up into him because I was still afraid, that he might think that I was trying to do him back there and turn around an bite me.
I reached between his legs and felt his hairy ball sac. Finding them, I started working and pulling on them gently, with my little fingers. When he didn't get mad at me for playing with them, I worked my hand forward and slid it along his wet slippery dog cock , until I felt the tip and started rubbing on it gently, coaxing it to squirt more of his sweet precum and it did.
And that's when i lost it and wrapped my fingers around it and started jacking it, while he humped harder and harder, into my little hand.
I don't even remember working my little tongue up into him. All I know is that one minute I was licking and jacking his warm wet boner, and all of a sudden I heard him let out a little " Yelp " and I could feel his little asshole closing down around my little tongue, clasping on it,holding it up inside of him, so I couldn't get away.
His little asshole and warm rectum kept clutching it , so I knew that he liked it, in his own kind of way, so I kept doing it, as I jacked his boner off, faster and faster.
All at once he started " Yelping " and his white doggie cum erupted out of the end of his pointed cock, squirting the back of his front legs and squirting onto the white bathroom floor. Before it was over, he had squirted his precum, squirted his doggie cum and even squirted his pale yellow dog pee, onto the bathroom floor. Leaving it there for me to clean up, making me " HIS " whenever he was " Ready " to mount me.
As I made him leave the bathroom, so I could clean up the floor, I couldn't help noticing his huge ball sac and feel strange that it had drainned on the floor, as he went out the door.
Knowing that there would be a next time and there was.

May Free Capital mobility before accession be unfavorable for admission to the EU ?
We examine the dynamics that may compensate the cost of redistribution policy in the European Union (EU), which is one of the obstacles for a candidate member country, namely Turkey to be admitted. We adress two main issues : i) may a total factor productivity (TFP) increases in the candidate country due to the positive effect of accession on institutional development compensate the cost of redistribution policy and ii) may free capital mobility before accession decrease EU's incentive for admitting the candidate country. In a two-country model we assume that after Turkish accession, the European household gives a transfer to the Turkish household whereas an upwart TFP shift arises in Turkey due to the positive effect of accession on institutional development. We first find that a TFP increase in Turkey compensates the cost of transfer. Second, allowing for free capital mobility before accession turns out to be unfavorable for admission to the EU.Download Info

SCHAUMBURG-On June 19, weather permitting, a project to replace the Wilmington / River Road bridge over I-55 will begin and will require a full closure of the bridge.

In addition, improvements will be done to the several ramps where they meet Wilmington / River Road. The work is scheduled for completion in late October. The contractor is D Construction of Coal City. To perform the work it will be necessary to completely close the bridge to traffic. However, the ramps will remain open. Temporary pavement will connect the ramps to the frontage roads to maintain access to I-55. Detour routes will be posted as follow:

The original patented vent brush made from hard rubber. Rubber tines wear evenly and will not split at the ends which can break and pull hair.
See Ingredients ›Overall Review 3.3 (based on 3 reviews)
Write your own reviewI agree with other reviewer, I bought 2 brushes, one broke and the other disintegrated after I put Tea Tree Oil on it!! That being said, I'm buying another one because it doesn't tug or pull on my fine hair. Just be aware!!
I do love OUIDAD but Two brushes broke. Do not buy!
For my wavy hair, the vent brush is perfect to detangle without ripping or tugging

Transition Town Manitou
is a local node in a grassroots international network of Transition Town initiatives emerging spontaneously all over the planet in response to the growing crisis' of increasing environmental degradation, resource depletion, emerging energy scarcity and the fundamental instability of our economic systems. All these ongoing events affect the stability and livability of our local communities. Transition Town Manitou aims to re-localize the essential resource base thereby re-establishing an authentic resilience and sustainability within our community. This list of essential resources includes food, transportation, jobs and local economy, medicine and healthcare, appropriate handling of waste streams and energy production. In participating in the CMWLFestival in the role of (Waste Removal Overseers?), Transition Town Manitou will get to model appropriate waste stream removal and recycling practices as well as educate citizens as to their responsibility in creating authentic resilience and sustainability in their communities.
Zeb Pike Boys
was seen all weekend helping to keep the park clean, setting up tents and taking down Festival equipment. Zeb Pike Krafts is a student-run business featuring hand crafted pens and pencils. These items are made from natural woods or acrylics and are hand turned on a lathe. Students participate in the manufacturing process while learning small business operations and support the students in their restorative justice. In additon to funding the students own restitution, 15% of the proceeds are used to reinvest in the business and 15% is allocated to assist in the cost of the GED testing. As an incentive and display of hard work, top workers receive a salary. This program is designed to gain work experience, business management skills, and most importantly to support the Restorative Community Justice Program.
We give back to the community one step at a time!

Very nice job. I'm really looking forward to the completion of this mod (or at least an open beta)! The design of the demo is looking fantastic! :D
I love PC games. I'm an expert at making and editing movies. I haven't modded much, but I sure love checking out other people's mods. My favorite games are Team Fortress 2, Far Cry 2, Bad Company 2, Modern Warfare 2, and several older games :p.
Very nice job. I'm really looking forward to the completion of this mod (or at least an open beta)! The design of the demo is looking fantastic! :D
Best Doom 64 conversion!
Yes, I am! :D
This looks amazing. I like the life bar you added from MGS.
This is incredibly unique. I can't wait to play it! Probably will be one of the best ones to come out this year :D
Maybe each character has their own specific hand/arm models? :D
This mod is still fantastic. And I think it's great that the community is trying to bring Smod back to life.
This is amazing! Keep up the good work. I just can't wait for this mod to be released XD
It's just a soundpack. It's not meant to replace any in-game sounds.
Hope you all enjoy! :D
Hilarious XD
Badass :D
I totally agree with adding this game to Greenlight!
This looks interesting. I'm tracking :D
I'm definitely trying this, because I haven't touched D3 in such a long time. This'll be a great way to get back in the game :D.

I really love these pictures. The environments really deliver a beautiful atmosphere. I can't wait to see how this mod turns out!
Yeah, looks rather promising. Can't wait to try out this mod! :>
I've had a similar experience when I had to rebuild my whole computer. You gotta make sure you have EVERYTHING you need saved on an external hard drive (or a backup) before you wipe out the rest. I hope everything works out for you in the future with your PC :>.
This mod is looking fantastic! :D
Why no comments nor downloads? Excited that Beta v0.15 is out! Great job, guys :D
Great news! Can't wait to play next time :D. Keep up the good work :>

Furniture Orders Made 2013 GainsMonday January 20th, 2014 - 12:32PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
The accounting and consulting firm Smith Leonard, which reviews the furnishings industry on an ongoing basis, said new orders in October 2013 were 5% higher than new orders in October 2012. In its latest survey of residential furniture manufacturers and distributors, new orders for 2013 from January through October were 6% ahead of 2012 results in that period. In 2012, from January through October, new orders were up 5% versus the same period in 2011. New orders gained at 56% of study participants in October, down from 72% reported September, Smith Leonard noted, but it added that the October results might have been affected by the timing of the High Point Market. The biannual show ran later in October 2013 than in October 2012. New orders were up for 80% of study participants in 2013 from January through October, the same figure as reported last month.

Global warming is slowing but greenhouse gases keep rising. What's happening? Scientists say the global warming lull is likely due to heat going deep into the ocean and natural climate fluctuations.
(AP Photo/Raphael Satter)
Scientists working on a landmark U.N. report on climate change are struggling to explain why global warming appears to have slowed down in the past 15 years even though greenhouse gas emissions keep rising.
Leaked documents obtained by The Associated Press show there are deep concerns among governments over how to address the issue ahead of next week's meeting of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Climate skeptics have used the lull in surface warming since 1998 to cast doubt on the scientific consensus that humans are cooking the planet by burning fossil fuels and cutting down CO2-absorbing forests.
The IPCC report is expected to affirm the human link with greater certainty than ever, but the panel is under pressure to also address the recent lower rate of warming, which scientists say is likely due to heat going deep into the ocean and natural climate fluctuations.
"I think to not address it would be a problem because then you basically have the denialists saying, 'Look the IPCC is silent on this issue,'" said Alden Meyer, of the Washington-based Union of Concerned Scientists.

About Imperial USA
< /br>Imperial USA is a division of H. Betti Industries, Inc, which was founded in 1934. At that time, the company was an "operator" for vending equipment; over the next several years, it ventured into stocking billiards-type products. By 1952, the billiards portion of H. Betti was large enough to stand on its own; by 1968, it was renamed and Imperial was born. Today, Imperial USA has expanded well beyond the world of billiards, and manufactures top-quality furniture for every part of your home game room or bar. With over 10,000 items, many of them licensed by the biggest names in sports, Imperial makes what every fan needs. It has offices in California and New Jersey, and staffs more than 100 employees; this allows the company regional accessibility to service its customers both in the US and abroad.

Jessica Alba goes for bold hued plaid at Calvin KleinNew York Fashion Week is officially over and things are moving on to London, Paris and Milan. Before we get to the trends on the runway however, let's take a peek at the looks that stood out all over the city. Fashion Week is always a time for actresses, editors, buyers and many more style aficionados to strut their best stuff from tent to tent. As photographers and industry insiders anticipate the looks on the runways, there's usually another kind of buzz happening pre-show. Starlets give their best model impressions while posing in the front row while editors who these days have just as much star power rub shoulders and schmooze with Hollywood. From the Fashion's Night Out festivities that kicked things off, straight to the runways of Calvin Klein, Proenza Schouler, Michael Kors, Victoria Beckham, Rodarte and many more, click here for a behind the scenes look at a few of our favorite "girls about town" and their very stylish outings this fashion week.

Bags and Boards
- Written by 365Dom on Tuesday, March 29 2011 and posted in Features
For many of us, bagging and boarding our comic books is nothing more than a habit. How important is it? Plus, are we over valuing the physical comic book and under valuing the comic book's content or mental impression?
This post should begin with some facts.
- I am a comic book collector.
- I bag and board all of my comic books.
My cousin was the coolest person I knew when I was young. He also owned many comic books, so by putting two and two together I understood that the more comics one owned, the cooler they became. By that logic I am now way cooler than my cousin ever was...and he knew karate!
I still bag and board my comics, but recently I have started to question why I continue to do so.
I tell myself, and others when they ask about what I will do with my collection in the future or why I collect, that I will give my vast collection to my children. (Hopefully a son...let's be honest...who really wants a daughter? Dumpster baby!) My child can then sell the collection, and use the profits for college, a car or a rare special addition Pog Slammer (they're coming back...you heard it here first). They can do with the collection as they please. Taunted by friends, the question comes-up: What if your kid shreds all of the comics in front of you? As hard as it will be...I would allow it. Don't get me wrong, the next day I will most likely go to prison forever for shredding my child; but again, the collection will no longer be mine. So like...whatevs!
So if I can just give up a collection which I cared for as if I was Filburt Turtle from Rocko's Modern Life ("Turn the page, wash your hands."), why would I even care to bag and board my comics now?
Value is in the Eye of the Collector
Clearly bags and boards are necessary in making sure a comic book doesn't get liquid on it and maintains it's wrinkle free flat shape. The better condition a comic book is in, the more a buyer will pay for it. It's like trading in "Diablo 2." Players will trade a lot more for a perfect item than for a lower level one of the same type. Gotta get that perfect HOTO!Companies have been created with their primary function being grading comic books. The most popular comic book grading company these days, Certified Guarantee Company, or CGC, allows collectors to send in their books to be reviewed by "professionals" who then seal your book in a hard plastic casing with an identification number and a quality grade (the highest grade being a 10.0...which is pretty much impossible). You have an officially graded comic book, but you can never read it again. To an extent, this seems ridiculous.
When a person collects a car, like Jay Leno (bastard...go Coco!), that person can still use (drive) his collection. If a person collects sports memorabilia, such as a baseball, football or glove, they can no longer use the object for it's function; however, they can still see the object in it's entirety. If a person collects baseball cards, which are more closely related to comic book collection, one can still put them in a case and view everything the card has printed on it. A comic book, in a sealed case, limits the collector's ability to see the whole comic book. All the collector can see are the front and back covers. There are a ton of readable and viewable pages that will never be seen again! That's kind of sad.
Too Cool to Collect
Some comic book readers do not collect anymore. Some may have never collected. I have found that writers and artists in the industry, who may or may not be given free comic books, tend to not care about the bagging and boarding of books anymore. This could be a result of the level of availability of comic books to them. It may be that they just have no patience in regards to waiting many years for a comic book's value to rise. Maybe the creators are simply too close to the content. To hard working creators, it is always about the next story being told. It's like in Football when teams are drafting players or signing them, the value is in the potential of the next thing, not the last. A true creator wants to be known for their next work. Great examples of creators who are always about the next project are Alan Moore and James Jean.Warning!
Never ask Alan Moore about Watchmen...or his beard.
Comic book value seems to be subjective, and the factors seem to be how close you are to the product's creation. Value, other than the experience one has reading a comic book, is a new concept. Years ago publishers and artists would simply throw away old comics and old comic book art because it was seen as no longer necessary to the future. It really wasn't...maybe only for documentation purposes, but that's it.
Maybe being comic book cool is not about having more comic books, as I once thought as a young boy. Maybe being comic book cool is about knowing where the value is: the experience we had and emotions we felt when first reading the comic book.
So...Am I Gonna Continue to Bag and Board?
Hell yeah! I don't have some cushy six figure job. This is basically my future child's 401k.His (please not her's) 401c.
Has anyone stopped bagging and boarding their comic books? Let us know why you no longer bag and board, or why you would never stop.

Unless the BIG goes to 18 or 20 and the SEC and Big 12 go to 16, there are going to be some decent ACC and Big East programs left out. I imagine to stay relevant, they would be willing to any type of scheduling alliance with any Big 4 conference and ND. They will need to use their 4 OOC games to boost their programs brand.
All I take from such alliance rumors is that certain members of the Big 12 are not interested in going past 12 given what they think will be available. If that is due to $/school, short-sighted but fine, but I hope it is not due to Dodds ND wet dream.

Thoughts About Cats 'n' Grammar, Kids and More
One my new followers, KnightOwl, has a site called Cats World, so I thought I'd toss in a few cat quotes, old and new.
"If you could combine a cat and a dog, you'd have man's best accomplice."
"In a world of doors, the inability to open a door can be mistaken for a desire to lie under the dining room table."
"I enjoy many silent moments with my cat, a conversation always resumed exactly where left off."
"At the family's insistence, Aunt Viv consulted a psychoanalyst, who tells her that her need to own ten cats is really a sublimated desire to own twenty cats."
And a thought on animals, generally...
"Do animals ever question their Maker? Perhaps not, and yet... there is this howling at the moon."
Here's one for Maureen, a retired English teacher who stopped by the other day.
A couple on parenting and kids...
"What first-time parents soon realize is that the maternity ward was working on three shifts."
"A mom reads you like a book, and wherever she goes, people read you like a glowing book review."
And a few miscellaneous maunderings...
"My quest for cosmic understanding is a book I have picked up and put down many times, each time failing to insert a bookmark."
"Life is a series of stages, each preparation for the previous."
"Eventually, every politician comes to believe that you need not legislate action; you can just pass a law mandating the consequences."
"Word from Washington is that the President remains open to new ideas, although he has completed his memoirs through 2016."
"I look at it this way. I'm not an eavesdropper; I have an attention surplus disorder."

New Thoughts From An Old Head
"An optimist believes that the best in the human spirit will prevail. So do I, and I'm not an optimist."
"It is not that love is blind. It is that love sees with a painter's eye, finding the essence that renders all else background."
"I refuse to be burdened by vague worries. If something wants to worry me, it will have to make itself clear."
"My age? Let me put it this way. In the dance of life, I am applauding the band."
"Every human being is a process. Me, I'm a process for converting good red wine into the milk of human kindness."
"A new Western renaissance may today seem impossible, but the lesson of human progress is that a thing is only impossible until it becomes inevitable."
"The first assumption of an art critic is that the artist meant to paint something else."
"Meanwhile, I've been boning up on Wall St. firms, should the day ever come when I'm incapable of mismanaging my own investments."
"There was never a government that didn't feel threatened by three or more people holding hands in public."
"There are 6.6 billion human beings, each responding in his or her own unique and individual way to the gravitational pull of the moon."

Assorted Thoughts, Mostly Soft Centers
"Age is irrelevant," or so thinks every parent whose offspring have been complimented by the remark,"Kids are so cute at that age,"
"A mother sees past our excuses to the real reason it's not our fault."
"Stay out of the court of self-judgment, for there is no presumption of innocence."
"The optimist knows that one day the earth will stop revolving around the sun but is confident that it will happen in summer."
"Be it said of your kids that they were taught kindness not as a virtue but as the proper etiquette."
"Do not judge yourself until you're done. And if you judge yourself a failure, you're not done."
"The reason they define it as 24 hours is so parents will know when to call it a day."
"In youth, I sought the purpose of life, forever chasing an elusive butterfly. In old age, I see that that is the purpose of life."
"You can regard your kid's every reaction as a referendum on your parenting, but it sure is asking a lot of a kid."
"In the end, I suspect, we will be judged by the number of innocents we have taken under our wing."
Thoughts I ran across in an unpublished post from last Halloween.
"The real ghouls of Halloween sit in darkened houses as trick-or-treaters scurry past."
"There are moonlit nights when the dead send their ghosts to haunt us -- and dark misty nights when they come themselves."
Robert's Rules of Rationalization:
"There is no such thing as a list of reasons. There is either one sufficient reason or a list of excuses."
"If your first reason is only 1/2 sufficient, your second reason will be 1/4 sufficient, your third 1/8 sufficient, and so on to your nth reason, the sum failing to total one sufficient reason."
"There is always just one reason."

Why Not Flowers and Lace This Mother's Day
You know the scene. You've been twenty minutes at the card rack trying to find an M-Day number for Mom. It's no sale. Everything's too saccharine, too precious, too cutesy. You begin to wonder if it's time for your annual worming.
The folks around you are in the same pickle. Every card on the rack has been handled twenty times. The stranger next to you says, "I'll give to your mother if you'll give to my mother." You think about it seriously.
But wait, not every card's been handled, not really, not those flowers-and-lace jobbies at the top of the rack. You know the ones I mean, the oversized ones in verse that begin, "What is a Mother?" – by Shirley Canby Stickie or Ida Soonbee Fulsome.
Too sentimental, everyone figures.
That's the thing about Mother's Day sentiments: they get sentimental if you don't watch out. Gratitude, appreciation, filial affection – they're easy to overdo, especially in verse. The ideal card, you figure, comes at them from an angle, by way of a catchy phrase, a subtle hint, a casual word or two.
Who doesn't recall the familiar movie scene where the hard-boiled coach says to the winning athlete, "Not bad, kid." Think of all that's implied there: the bear hugs, the slaps on the back, the inexpressible pride. It's all there in those few understated words, "Not bad, kid." You don't hear the coach reciting, "What is an Athlete?" – by Flora Framble Frickard.
So you figure, why can't you find a Mother's Day card that says it simply: "Not bad, Ma." "Nice going." "'Preciate it."
Well, you can. They're all over the place. They're the cards that get handled twenty times, the ones that set your innards congealing. Funny thing, but the sappiest card turns out to be the one that tries to say it simply -- without sentiment. It's the card you hand to Mom as you go out the door. "Oh, I almost forgot to give you this."
I've figured something out. It's not sweetness that cloys; it's artificial sweetness. And there's nothing quite so artificial as trying to toss off your feelings for Mom in a catchy phrase. It embarrasses both parties. And it's a great shame, because there are cards around that won't embarrass Mom in the slightest.
This hit me the other day while I was rummaging for something in the attic. I turned up a packet of Mother's Day cards my wife has saved up over the years. There was a frilly creation, old and faded, right on the top.
"What is a Mom?" this card asks, and amidst flowers and bluebirds, it expands at length. Here and there, a glowing adjective is circled in coloring pencil. And at the end of the verse, there's a row of neatly-penciled kisses.
And I guess Suzanne, my step-daughter, must have looked at this card, her pencil box still warm in her hand, and worried that the sentiments might be a bit too pale, might slip past, because she drew an arrow to the right edge, luring her mom to the back, where she wrote, in four colors, I LOVE YOU, MOM.
Looking at this card, I'm thinking how natural and right the sentiments seem. It's marvelous how a kid can skirt the sticky-sweet. It's the instinct kids have for saying what they really feel, I guess.
It took me about a minute this year to find a card for my own mother. It was right at the top of the rack. I think she'll like it. It has flowers and lace.

Some Serious, Some Silly, Some Oh So Observant
"You wonder if the creator of reality had any idea people would take it so literally."
"If you listed all the reasons for your faith, and all the things that make you cry, it would be essentially the same list."
"We are, many of us, a planet orbiting somebody's sun, unconscious of a lonely moon, orbiting our planet."
"I don't know if there is a just God, but I know that when I act as His agent, He never complains."
"If you can make a child laugh, you can make its mother cry."
"In a soulmate we find not company but a completed solitude."
"Perhaps the reason that pets win a special place in our hearts is that they ask only a place in our hearts."
... some oh so observant
"What's frustrating about being disliked is that it's invariably for the wrong reason."
"It's annoying to be disapproved of by people who know only half the story -- especially when you're not sure which half they know."
"You can as easily love without trusting as you can hug without embracing."
"Child raising is an amateur activity that requires professional cleaning."
... and some silly
"One day the sun will implode, sucking the earth into a bottomless black hole, giving you a chance to do whatever you do when you don't have to vacuum."
"Meanwhile, my dentist has found a black hole in my molar system."
"Ideally you'd like to entertain guests in a spotless house that shows no signs of having been picked up, but sometimes you just have to settle for no signs of having been picked up."
I sorta, kinda envy
a leaf on a tree
that knows at a glance
its genealogy.
"The revolving door in politics? Well, take a bureaucrat who okays a government-funded study of the commercial uses of black holes -- then quits his job and goes to work for National Paperweight and Doorstop."
"Knowing that I like to surround myself with objects that are an extension of my personality, my wife just got me this really neat lead paperweight."
"After decrying wasteful government spending, one Georgia senator has come out in favor of an FDA program to determine the effects of massive overdoses of peanuts on laboratory elephants." (Okay, this is actually not that true.)
"And, finally, there's evidence that things are getting better, unless skin-related."

It's not every day you host an ambassador from your homeland for dinner in your home.
But that's what drum-thumping, "run with joy"-shouting running coach Gilbert Tuhabonye did Thursday, when Angele Niyuhire, the ambassador to the U.S. from the Republic of Burundi, dropped by for dinner.
Niyuhire came to Austin with about 30 other ambassadors as part of the U.S. State Department's "Experience America" program. They toured the state Capitol, visited the LBJ Library, talked with representatives of the ACL and SXSW music festivals and ate barbecue at the Salt Lick.
But she sought out Tuhabonye, head of the Gilbert's Gazelles running group and track coach at St. Andrews High School, to learn more about the water wells a foundation he created has built in Burundi.
First, she shared snapshots she took on her cell phone of longhorns in Driftwood, and he introduced her to his closest friends. They drank wine and ate pasta and salad prepared by The Grove.
But they got serious when it came to water.
Since 2006, the Gazelle Foundation has built nine water well projects that provide about 19,000 people with access to clean water. The organization will start its tenth project this month. By the end of 2013, organization officials hope to provide access to clean water for an additional 10,000 people.
Tuhabonye told Niyuhire how he had to walk miles every day as a child to fill jugs with water from creeks. Niyuhire told similar stories about her mother, who still spends hours hauling water to her home to cook meals. Students across the country, they both said, arrive at school late and exhausted after carrying buckets to their families.
Tuhabonye escaped the genocide in Burundi nearly 20 years ago and moved to Texas, where he became an All-American runner. He created the Gazelle Foundation to make sure other people in Burundi had easier access to clean water. The projects tap natural springs on hilltops and use gravity to move water to storage chambers closer to where people live.
"As a representative of the Burundi government I really appreciate the work they are doing," Niyuhire said. "We have water in Burundi, but a lot of it isn't clean. By bringing clean water to villages it helps the women and children."
