- - Chapter 2: Adult Responsibility (With Some Breaks) - -
By ten years old, no weekends off,
Or Saturday cartoons,
Although I did have cash to spend,
I felt my life in ruins.
I dusted cars in my dad's store,
And cleaned its toilets too,
I fixed truck tires as I got old,
Not much I couldn't do.
A trip to two month summer camp,
I learned to shoot and sail,
At twelve years old, a pioneer,
Canoed explorer's trail.
Near tragedy on my return,
My sister paralyzed,
A late victim of polio,
My conscience brutalized.
Felt guilty leaving her alone,
While I frolicked and played,
Brotherly love had been displaced,
Her protection was waylaid.
The washers, dryers, I repaired,
And freezers with no chill,
Then televisions came along,
Tube testing my new skill.
Assembling new farm implements,
And posting parts on hand,
My driver's license opened doors,
'Collected bills' firsthand.
On Sundays we would go to church,
To hear the preacher tell,
Because my dad was not with us,
His soul would burn in Hell.
Dad's Channelled Poem-[]
['It's bad news when a preacher comes.
They all want stuff for free.
I have to feed my children too,
I've problems they don't see.']
Three years of summer music camps,
In Junior High reborn,
I played piano in dance bands,
Took lessons on French Horn.
My French Horn teacher laughed out loud
When I walked through the door,
'Your lips too thick, please stick out tongue, '
Now rolling on the floor!
'To take your money is a crime, '
The German said to me,
'You've no high notes, ' 'I know' I said,
'Mom loves French Horn you see.'
Most summers were our busy time,
We all worked hard till dusk,
My 'tail rung through a ringer, ' (1) la, *
The time for 'smart mouth' (2) brusque.
But then the job that I loved best,
Flat tractor tires in field,
A chance to meet a farmer's girl,
The country's charm revealed.
One summer worked a cattle herd,
Two thousand cows were planned,
By cutting, wind-rowing (3) the grass,
Soon haystacks dotted land.
Dakota winters could be fierce,
The temp forty below,
The stacks were shelter from the wind,
A shield from blinding snow.
We'd use a horse for round-up, la! *
My God that was a thrill,
Except for blisters on your ass,
Or when you took a spill.
I had not ridden horses much,
You're so far from the ground,
The horse not knowing you from spit, (4)
Disdain can be profound! '
There was no time for niceties,
And work to do, 'C'MON! '
If horse and you somehow part ways,
No choice, you climb back on.
Our ranch was all on 'Indian Res., ' (5)
By river loop enclosed,
In South Dakota's Lower Brule, (6)
A twelve year lease proposed.
Land acres more that twenty thou.
Covered by native grass,
A chance like this was very rare,
My father could not pass.
The river's edge a solid fence,
No barbed wire to maintain.
The nearest town two hours by road,
Security mundane.
Our days were mostly work and sleep,
With meals our only break,
Except for weekend groc'ry trips,
No chance for love's heartache.
Till I discovered farmer's girl,
Who lived half way to town,
Contrived a way to go to church,
When Sunday's call came down.
The church's name not one I knew,
The people all seemed nice,
To escape Sunday's usual fare
Was worth most any price.
Harmonica, accordion,
Played music we could sing,
The pastor beat foot-pedalled drum,
We made the rafters ring!
I told myself, 'there's something strange,
The music's gone too long, '
Emotion peaking and yet I
Somehow did not belong.
With music's end the sermon broke,
The world's sure end was near,
Time now to sanctify all sin,
'Repent now! God's word hear.'
For God's quite mad, this cannot stand,
No doubt that it is prov'n
Those rockets from Canaveral
Are shooting holes in Heav'n.
I was in shock, glued to my seat,
The flock their garments rent,
And I the last one in his seat,
No sin did I lament!
At last not knowing what to do,
I left and went outside,
And knew whatever happened now,
I hadn't found my bride.

Poet's Notes:
* When I was in the American Peace Corps in Tanzania, East Africa we had a group of 7
surveying assistants that were always with us in the first year and that we became very
close to. Their conversation was always sprinkled with 'la' and I thought it was kind of
cute. Like they might say to me, 'Why don't we stop in this village for some food, la.'
They used this word kind of like I use the word 'OK' in casual conversation. 'You've got
food in your teeth, la.' I really enjoyed this idiosyncratic affectation.
(1) 'tail rung through the ringer' - Early washing machines did not have a 'spin cycle.' So
to get the excess water out of your clothing you would ring out the water from each item
of clothing first before hanging it on a clothes line to dry completely in the sun. So the
phrase 'tail rung through the ringer' means that you are all out of energy, and very tired.
The energy has been squeezed out of you by your job like water rung out of newly
washed clothing.
(2) 'smart mouth' Someone who likes to talk back to authorities, or who just complains all
the time.
(3) 'wind-rowing' - To rake newly cut grass into long rows called 'wind-rows' that could be
more easily picked up and bailed then by yet another machine.
(4) 'not knowing someone from spit' - To have no respect for the person at all.
(5) 'Indian Res' – Land that Indian's were given official title to by the American
government in an attempt to placate and domesticate them.
(6) 'Lower Brule' – A huge tract of Indian Land contained in a large meander of the
Missouri River. Although the mouth of this loop is only one mile wide, to get from one side
of the meander by river is over 28 miles. Lower Brule is owned by the Cherokee Indian
Sentenced to hang in the town of Lincoln,
Billy made his bold escape.
Both of his guards died from thinking
that a shackled young boy couldn't break away.
I've often wondered what thoughts were going through his head
as he stood staring out that window chained to the floor by his bed,
watching the gallows being built that would soon seal his fate.
Was he planning at that very moment his greatest escape?
Did he already know that his hanging would never come to be?
Was he already aware that before night fall, once again he'd be free?
Whatever his thoughts, they were interrupted rudely
by Deputy Bob Ollinger, one of his guards while in custody.
"Word has it you said that if we ever met again you'd kill me on the spot.
Well here I am Kid. Now's your chance. Show me what you've got.
It's a shame that you'll hang in another week or two,
because I'd love to be the one who gets to kill you.
I've got 16 silver dimes in the barrells of my shotgun.
I'd love to try them out on you, but I can't unless you run.
If I free you from those chains will you run for the door?
Oh by the way Kid, your Ma was one sweet dirty whore.
I'll kill you before you hang Kid. That's a sure bet."
"Be careful Bob," said the Kid, "I'm not hung yet."
Bob thrusted his shotgun hard into Billy's gut.
The Kid looked up at him in pain and said, "Now what?"
"Don't do it Bob," Bell screamed angrily,
"or you'll be the one who'll hang for sure
for killing an unarmed man in cold blood
who was chained helplessly to the floor.
It's time for the other prisoners to be escorted across the street to be fed.
The Kid's not going anywhere. He's chained to the floor by his bed.
Anyway, I took the prisoners last so now it's your turn.
Go and have yourself a beer and I'll stay here
and guard the Kid until you return."
Bob Ollinger placed his shotgun into the gun rack.
Before he left he said to Billy, "I'll see you when I get back."
No one can say for sure if the above dialog ever truly took place,
but one thing's for sure,
Ollinger tormented Billy at a merciless endless pace.
They were arch enemies who fought against each other
during the Lincoln County War.
Ollinger was in the posse that killed John Tunstall,
Billy's employer, friend and mentor.
"I have to use the privy Bell," Billy said to the deputy.
Bell kept his rifle trained on Billy as he tossed him the key.
Billy unlocked the chains that kept him bound to the floor.
Still in handcuffs and leg irons, Bell escorted Billy out the door.
Billy entered the outhouse closing the door behind him.
"Let's not take too long in there Kid," Bell said with a humorous grin.
While in the outhouse Billy managed to slip one of his hands out of his handcuff.
"You fall in there Kid?" Bell laughed, "You've been in there long enough."
"I'm coming out now Bell," Billy said opening the door.
"Sorry I took so long Bell. I must have ate something bad for sure."
Deputy Bell then escorted Billy back to the jail cell.
Once inside, Billy spun around and smacked hard Deputy James Bell.
Bell lost his balance, dropped his rifle and was momentarily stunned.
"Hands Up Bell!," the Kid yelled. In his hand was a gun.
"Please don't do it Bell," Billy pleaded, but Bell tried to run.
The Kid had no choice but to do what had to be done.
He shot and killed Bell, then went and got Ollinger's shotgun.
The Kid never found pleasure in killing,
but Ollinger would indeed be the exception.
Knowing that Ollinger heard the gunfire, Billy stood by the window
and waited for Ollinger to appear in the street down below.
One senior named Godfrey saw Bell fall dead down the stairs.
The moment probably gave Godfrey a few more gray hairs.
Ollinger ran out into the street as Godfrey screamed,
"The Kid's killed Bell!"
Ollinger looked up into both barrels of his own shotgun
and whispered, "..and now he's killed me as well."
"Hello Bob!," Billy called out with a song in his heart
just prior to blowing Bob Ollinger apart.
He blasted both barrels into Ollinger's chest and face.
Pieces of old Bob lay scattered all over the place.
Billy smashed his shotgun in two, threw it at him but missed.
"You'll never rifle me again," he screamed, "you son of a b*tch!"
On the balcony he addressed the crowd whose jaws hung agape.
"I don't want to hurt anyone,
but I'll kill anybody who tries to prevent my escape."
In the office he found a sledge hammer
and smashed the chains of his leg irons free.
He told Godfrey to fetch him a fast horse immediately.
As he walked down the stairs, he came upon Bell's lifeless body
and many eyewitnesses admit
that the Kid looked upon him and said almost tearfully,
"I'm sorry I killed you Bell, but couldn't help it."
As Billy mounted the horse the chains of his leg irons startled the beast.
The horse reared up and threw Billy down onto the street.
He was at this point his most vulnerable laying down on the ground.
The crowd could have overtaken him easily, but none made a move or a sound.
Once again Billy mounted the horse
and fled with the sound of his leg iron chains ringing.
Many claim that as he rode out of Lincoln County
that they heard the Kid singing.
Billy had escaped danger so many other times in his past,
but this was his greatest escape ever. It would also be his last.
"I had no intention of killing either one of them. My plan was to tie and gag Bell and then get out of there before Ollinger got back, but then things went terribly wrong.....I certainly didn't want to kill Bell, but I had to in order to save my own life....I never felt happier than when I gave it to old Bob. I said, "Look up here old boy and see what you're getting". I then blasted him in the face and breast. He use to ride me to the point where I just couldn't take it anymore."
- Billy the Kid
Differences – you say !
I – me Lass – brave Helios, rides his golden chariot,
drawn by fiery Steeds, into the vastness of this universe.
These mighty Titans, dispatched – brilliant, glowing -
ruled, controlled the blueness of this planet, the heavens.
Our bright Sun, sprinkles life giving particles, waves,
out in all directions – into the endless firmament.
Then there is the cold souled, silver shield that traverses
that moth eaten, dark cloth, that hangs like lead
in that dead laden space, blackness the place
you choose to ride – your life to hide.
Oh !, if only we would climb down from the edge of fences.
Oh !, if only we would leave behind, walk away from defences.
Oh !, for us to, but if we only could, reach our dreams
Oh !, for us to, not have all those things, it seems,
that get in the way – life's experiences, what it means,
from time to time, - that should be left behind – long ago,
that hang on so tightly, from fears that you won't let go.
Oh !, for us two, to find the door, to see, understand, to know.
Oh !, for us to, for us to realize, that after the end, the winds will blow
it all away, into waves of rainbow colours that will show
it all to have been a necessary, but unnecessary way to go.
No matter what is said and done, it all is the universes flow.
A straight line, towards your destination, is the obvious choice.
Unfortunately, a jumble of thoughts, experiences, become the voice.
A trip – full of baggage – and around the world we go.
A carrousel ride, on each and every horse, the story doth show
A very dizzying ride it is, the point, to get to know
is a journey, of many directions, on winds that blow
Live and let live the life one so chooses.
Seldom is it necessary if one wins or one loses,
not much concerned for – or where or why.
For in the end, it is all in the beholders eye.
Much too much involved !, much to obsessive,
with others and the lives they made a mess – ive.
I can only wonder ?, make an educated guess, live
with my analysis and know, from the heart you give.
I cannot carry the weight of your life into today,
for all that was, all that is, need not words to say,
for nothing will change, not before, nor after, it's your way,
no matter what one chooses, or not, to express, it's the game you play.
All has come into, become a part of, is constantly shared
with, and no matter how it affects, it's no longer cared
for, for it all distracts, disrupts, disturbs the air
that we are inhabiting - and not – it is unfair
I know that it is part and parcel of the lady fair.
If only to the point, but you never seem to get there.
Hours and hours go by, I cannot help but cry
as I listen and listen, understand, I do try.
Actions, activities, motion, play are the order of the day,
board games to win, games to lose, but they cannot be had,
for it is not in the cards – alone – one can have a say,
only but for two, does it come though, to share and that's not bad.
Vocalizing, expressing, gossiping, complaining are your way.
Hours to exercise the body, the soul, the mind, it is so sad,
for it leaves so little to share, so little time for making hay.
Not such a bad way to connect, what a great fad !
Just some of the differences that have come to be
what is between you and me, yet there is much more to see
that could come into you and me as we ride this rough sea
of life, that at times you find joy in this old boy, so free.
Happy am I when you come near, when you are here.
A little hollow, a little empty, in the end, harbour fear
that the sunshine will fade, be covered, will disappear.
Which way ?, - our ships passing in the night - will we steer.
A Mole
Will the Mole, leave her underground, black hole ?,
to – with eagles fly – reach out and touch the sky ?
will this night hawk, this owl, venture into day light,
play in sight of shadows, created by a sun so bright
and warm, where day creatures know the storm
that rages throughout and within, who shout
with voices searing, with knowledge clearing,
with understanding of choices made by rending,
choices made for, and by them, behind a closed door.
Living a life that has been over flowing with strife.
There is much to know, about what was laid upon her soul.
Some can, some cannot let go, why ?, I do not know.
Can the bound, the nocturnal, the frightened ?,
find freedom, find in the diurnal, find in fearlessness,
a soul mate to travel with, upon day light roads, opened.
A soul mate to take into the darkness, the coldness.
Can they be blended, one into the other, if the story be told.
Differences – are they few or are there so many ?
Are we able to live with them ?, or without any ?
There we are – two old birds on the wing,
with different voices, different songs to sing
of any or all, to the table, want to bring.
Shed light, and let show, what is our thing
which at times has put us into the ring.
Sparing in defence of our particular notions,
beliefs, as we express – in animated motions,
a light, who we truly are in the heat of the moment.
Yet the hurt, the pain created by wards, was not meant.
Yet they have lent a truth, some truth was sent
out from the heart, the soul, life ancient
that dictates - in the moment – what's fates sentiment.
And what are the differences you see ?
What are they ?, what is between you and me ?

Not to let the air out of anyone's tire but it's really not fair to compare religious
writings to modern science. Scientific theories for one thing are models of
reality (for example) and do not really claim to be reality itself. Though
there may be some 'scientists' who claim that 'science' is true in the same
sense as the belief that there is a God, I am not one of them and I believe such
'scientists' are not very bright! . Holy writings always require us to have faith,
to believe something because it seems true or because we want it to be true,
or because someone we trust told us it was true. Science tells us a model is
true because all the tests made to determine it's accuracy show that it's right.
And any Tom, Dick or Harry who performs these necessary tests will always get
the same answer. In short: Science is verifiable, Religion is not.
I am both scientifically trained (A sort of scientist I guess) and a practicing
Christian. I find value in both my faith and in science. I personally like to think
of a scientific theory as a kind of a poem which can be very beautiful indeed.
This of course can be difficult for a layman to see who doesn't understand
mathematics very well.
When a child asks you why is the sky blue how do you answer? Do you say
'because God made it that way, ' or do you tell the child well it's because light
obeys the laws of refraction, which once you study mathematics for 20 years I
will be able to explain to you? The simple answer here is that 2000+ years ago
we were much more childlike than we are now. Our ancient texts give the
wisdom of the ages (and it is wise) but just like science is not literally true,
maybe it is not scandalous to say that our spiritual ancestors wisdom is not
literally true either. God may have spoken to us as children then, but one of his
great gifts to us was Science as well. Those who ignore what Science can tell
us, do so, I believe, at considerable peril to themselves and to others.
When Christ taught others he used parables a lot. Surely most people will
admit that while these parables may teach us important truths, they may not in
fact have ever actually happened. In this sense I personally believe that the
Bible is not literally true and that does not mean it is not the word of God, it
just means we need to grow up and understand that our responsibility to God
extends beyond the Bible. Science in fact has much to teach us about how to
understand what is written in Holy Books like the Bible and we should listen,
because the same God that created the universe, created Science too!
Here is just a small example that a scientific theory is not reality, but a model
(or poem) about reality that can serve us without being literally true.
Gravity is a very simple example. We all have an intuitive feeling about gravity
being a force of some kind. This crude idea of gravity being a force has taken
us a long way, to the moon and even to other planets and back again. This was
an early model of physics. More modern physics has a different model which is
really very different sounding and complex but which is much more accurate
than the simple idea of gravity in explaining what we see when stars get very
massive for example, or when we travel very fast. This takes us into some of
Einstein's theories which are much more accurate and complicated than gravity.
So from Einsteins viewpoint, gravity does not exist at all, it is what is called a
'fictitious force' that exists only because the mass of an object, especially very
big objects, cause both space and time to curve. Doesn't sound like gravity
anymore does it, and yet the new theory, though it does not replace the
usefulness of the laws of gravity for you and I in our daily lives, means that for
science gravity is as old fashioned as a horse and buggy.
Did you know the the earth is 4.5 Billion years old, not 6000 years old as the
Bible estimates, and was man really created by God by breathing life into a
figure he molded out of clay or did God create man though evolutionary
processes that took millions of years to accomplish? I personally admire the
God more who created the potential for every thing we see around us in an
instant, than a God who took seven days to accomplish the same thing. But
that's just me. Science can be tested as I have stated, the Bible must be taken
on faith. Given the possibility that both were given to us by the same God,
what do you think we should do? Do we really have to throw one or the other
out completely? I don't think so. Both are valuable.
Walking in the dawn,
in the forest loud with sound;
Hear the birds sing in the trees!
Listen to the wind,
see the stream flowing free;
Touch a leaf so green, dew wet!
Do you hear it now,
the sound of nature, the song;
A song so sweet, magical

Colourful leaves in piles,
luminous colours for miles and miles.
Burgundy, orange hovering,
the trees slowly relinquishing, surrendering.
A cool breeze makes them dance,
some quiet and calm, some leap and prance.
The Autumn sky so changing,
clouds moving, billowing, shifting, expanding.
And in one blustering wind,
piles empty where once colourful leaves had been.
Sun touches the leaves of a tree,
Like a stained glass window scene, to see.

On Bent Knees
Prayer books waiting at the door,
polished pews and stone cold floors.
Specks of dust glitter in the light,
half forgotten dreams still burn bright.
Stained glass windows cast a glow,
on bent knees this day my prayers flow.

The Book
Exploring the city on a rainy afternoon,
I happened upon, Ye Olde Book Store;
Opening the door, chimes sang out,
The store dusty, small and amazing.
To the ceiling books and rows of books,
The shop keeper, an elderly man, nods;
I walk quietly, I feel that I am in church,
Alone, I am in this place of books.
So many to touch, but one beckons me,
Taking it in my hands, I brush off the dust;
Opening the book, it seems to me so interesting,
I purchase it of course for a small price.
Finding a café close by, I settle in to read,
The words on the cover seem to be engraved;
A collection of poetry by the great poets of all time,
Page after page, tattered, yellowed with age.

The Wind
Standing on a sea cliff with salt on my lips,
Holding out my hands to the heavens above;
Moving past me, a roaring wind, blows my raven hair,
Breathing in the sweetness, it whispers my name,
Tangled with the crashing waves, the birds soaring, the clouds rolling.

O, The Glistening Tears
You come in the light of day,
Through the ornate cemetery gates you come;
Down the lonely long road,
Past the headstones, row on row on row.
O, the glistening tears.
With a broken weeping heat,
You come, for us your family buried here;
What a cruel destiny and cruel fate,
Such love that even death cannot destroy.
O, the glistening tears.
And when the seasons change,
And fall winds blow over us resting here;
And when winter frost is in the air,
And we lay beneath the pure white snow,
O, the glistening tears.
And when spring comes and flowers grow,
You come in the light of day, you come, you come;
For us your family buried here,
Souls connected by bonds that even death cannot end.

The Memory Of You
Mom, today I saw a girl with her Mom
They were so happy laughing and talking
Together, mother and daughter, friends
I wondered if the girl realized
My heart was filled with envy and pain
I have so many things to tell you
Happy things, sad things, just things
Things only a mother would understand
Tears came to my eyes as I watched
God must have needed a special angel
To separate the puzzle that was you and me
The pieces that fit so well together
Mom, our love is an endless river
It will go on and on and on and never end
God took you from me, it was your destiny
I know nothing could keep you here
Our parting words, I love you so much
Your answer and I love you my daughter
God took you in the dawn but he left me a gift
A precious gift, the memory of you
Written February 8, 2009
A little girl lost her home this year, for her, Christmas wouldn't be there.
Her family was angry from all the troubles, they simply couldn't repair.
Don't bother us about presents her parents said, they were depressed by their fate.
With bitterness they said, you'd be lucky to have dinner tonight, or even a plate.
Life was harsh, nowhere to go, anger and fear had put their souls, in a terrible place.
The little girl had found no hope or joy, lurking near their old car, of late.
The car was their home, gas money was scarce, and with few places they could park.
Yes, their troubles had slowly extinguished, that precious hopeful spark.
Without that spark, they'd never find their way, from this terrible place of cold and dark.
And life's darkness grew deeper nightly, as hope vanished under a reality so stark.
Even the very fiber of her family, seemed to be shattering slowly, slowly, apart.
The child felt alone here in this dark car, as sadness tried to engulf her little girls heart.
The future seemed filled with hopelessness, as shame and dread, were leaving their mark.
Embarrassment to be seen and turned away, made it hard for them to reach out, to restart.
But life goes on, and we can't fear to rebuild, or the future will be hard to impart.
The girl suddenly declared there's more to life, and she wouldn't let it conquer her heart.
She decided triumphs will come, and all will get better, if she held to that hopeful spark.
Seeing the desolation and anger here, she couldn't stay around, she had to get away…
So she climbed out of the car, and she walked into town, not so very far to stray.
She went and looked at the store windows, where Christmas was being displayed.
The music and people filled her heart, lifting her spirits, deep inside, that day.
She noticed a store, way down at the end of the row, on the next block, where it lay.
No one was there, it seemed lonely, and the darkness was again, spreading it's decay.
She ran there in time to see an old man closing up, with sadness on his face betrayed.
What use were his goods, if no one would shop, or come down along his way?
The super store down the block, was daily making him lose more and more in the fray.
He could no longer afford to hire people, and the season had very little time, to stay.
As they talked the girl saw that she couldn't let the darkness take another, so she prayed.
Then she told the old man, if he'd open the shop, she'd bring customers down his way.
She added, she'd find reasonable workers, if her family could live upstairs, she portrayed.
First bring the customers, he said, and the rest will be yours little friend, he conveyed.
She had him put his best toys, as a contest prize, and to add lots of lights on the display.
He set a contest, "Winners-the best collectors for families in need" on Christmas Eve.
He put out a bright contest sign, but still nobody came to his end of the block, to survey.
So she had him call the Salvation Army, for a kettle, Bell ringer, and Carolers, who came
Lickety split, their way.
Then she had him call a dear old friend, and farmer, to bring a tractor full of bails of hay.
Another volunteered his horse and sleigh, both, to see the city lights thru New Years Day.
This was a great idea, since the older drivers, could use the help, for their bills to pay.
The girl ran all over spreading the excitement, and to come see the prizes, his way.
The families suddenly started heading toward his door, and to those wondrous rides.
At that moment her parents came, and she explained what her hope, had improvised.
Her father talked a contractor into building a disabled family a home, to help advertise.
He could get a tax break; come to this store for supplies, and hire unemployed workers, he devised, so wise.
In the end, each night grew brighter, because of a girls hope, and heart-warming delight.
And the old man began smiling for the first time, in a long, long, time, starting that night.
All was saved, a home was found, and another built, as a sad little girl taught grownups to smile along the way…
You might say, A Spark of Hope lit a candle, then a raging fire, which was burning bright by Christmas day.
The moral to my story is:
Never give up on Hope; it's your best friend, as life brings its troubles your way…
Know that with time, a good heart, good will, and friendly ways…
You can find God's gifts again, if you don't let the dark take you away…

Tess Hiatt knew she was playing with fire, yet couldn't seem to stop herself. This was the third time that she'd intentionally trespassed down the clearly marked path, the third day she had staked out a perfect spot to view the going's on at the haiku Equestrian school.
There was something mesmerizing about their exercises. And that one rider, the way he kept everything so controlled, so precise, peeked her interest. He would trot the circuit, then effortlessly move between gaits. The cut of his tight breeches, the spotless coat and the sheen on his boots spoke of routine and discipline, two things she lacked.
A fence kept rider and horse within an enclosure and she wondered if they ever longed to just jump the expanse and head for the hills.
She stretched her neck, moved a branch and sighed. Where was he?
"You do realize this is private property, Miss?"
She almost lost her balance. Mr. Discipline was right behind her. Oh, crap! She felt warmth flood her cheeks. Her chin lifted in self-defense. "Hi," she said.
His look changed. A grin spread across strong features. "Hello. So, you're curious?"
"Yes and no. Maybe?" Oh, he was handsome. Her heart rate picked up.
The laugh was warm, friendly. "I can't remember the last time I saw somebody ride bareback. He looks spirited. Hard to handle?"
"Jack? Sometimes. He does what he wants, but then again, so do I." She patted the mustang's neck and received a soft nicker in response. "We put up with each other. Have grand adventures. Sass and kick ass." She tilted her head. "Who's your short friend?"
"This is Basho. He is a rare, Japanese breed called Misaki uma. I won him in a bet. He's happier just standing in a field or poking along beside a pond watching frogs, but I've grown fond of his gentle ways. I think he barely tolerates me."
She couldn't hold back a chuckle. "Maybe you should give him more reign."
"Maybe you should give yours less."
Her eyes narrowed. "When's the last time you just let loose, Mister? Don't you ever just gallop through the creek? Let the mountains pull you closer? Life doesn't consist of a training ring, you know. When's the last time you unbuttoned your starched collar? I am neither staunchy nor dull."
"Dull? What, you find the haiku school so staunchy that you keep returning for a closer look? Yes, I saw you." He leaned forward. "As far as creeks and mountains go, first, you need to learn to ride the proper way. Then you can go frolic in the wildflowers."
Jack, sensing her mood, shook his head. "Easy, boy," she whispered in his ear, leaning low over the horse.
Tight Breech's eyes followed her movement. She watched his gaze drop then zero in on her cleavage, saw his jaw clench. Tess became acutely aware of how much leg was revealed by her shorts. He seemed to have noticed that as well.
She felt slightly dissy. "I learned the basics, just. And I can ride fine, thank you very much. Probably could run circles around you and your students. I don't need to learn Dressage to ride Western. They're as different as ... well, as..... a Mustang and Misaki uma, as beer and sake."
"We seem to have differing opinions."
Basho snorted and Jack's ears pricked.
"I should be getting home," Tess said, wondering why she didn't want to leave when this man was so irritating. Cute. But as annoying as hell.
"Look, how about we just take a ride up the trail. I think Basho likes you." He gave a look, a long steamy look. "And as far as my buttons go, how about we talk about that some more? There may be some... merit... to showing more skin."
Tess blushed. Yup. Playing with fire. But she liked fire. "Okay, you can walk me back to the ranch. But watch out for Jack. He likes to nip."
Every journey starts with a single step[1]
Infused with vigour, strength and pep
Impatiently yearning for acceptance
Willingly to sacrifice and do penance[2]
There is nothing new under the sun[3]
You should learn to walk, before you run
No man ever steps in the same river twice[4]
Wisdom comes at an exuberant price
Muddy water, let stand, becomes clear[5]
No man can judge wisely, if ruled by fear
Fall seven times and stand up eight[6]
Resist temptation to be always right
Life's a cold case: flogging a dead horse[7]
More often than not, you're blown off course
The final stance is what is recalled[8]

[2] "Life isn't a payment for your so-called sins. It's more a learning thing." The
Afterlife of Billy fingers, by Annie Kagan
[3] Ecclesiastes 1:4-11 - "There Is Nothing New Under The Sun"
A generation goes, and a generation comes, but the earth remains forever. The
sun rises, and the sun goes down, and hastens to the place where it rises.
[4] Heraclitus of Ephesus: " No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's
not the same river and he's not the same man."
[5] Lao Tzu — "Muddy water, let stand, becomes clear."
[6] Fall seven times and stand up eight – Japanese proverb
Proverbs 24:16:- "... for though the righteous fall seven times ..."
Though a righteous man falls seven times, he will get up, but the wicked will ...
man shall fall seven times and shall rise again: but the wicked shall fall down
into evil. .... From six calamities he will rescue you; in seven no harm will touch
[7]The original meaning of 'a dead horse', apart from the literal 'horse that has
fallen off its perch', was a reference to work for which a person had been paid
in advance (and possibly had already spent the proceeds). This dates from the
17th century and is referred to in Richard Brome's play The Antipodes, first
performed in 1638 and printed in 1640:
He cur'd a country gentleman that fell mad
For spending of his land before he sold it;
That is, 'twas sold to pay his debts - all went
That way for a dead horse, as one would say!
Our present meaning, in the phrase 'flog a dead horse', is quite different. This
is a reference to something that is entirely pointless and cannot result in any
productive end. The phrase, which is also sometimes expressed as 'beating a
dead horse', appeared in print in 1859, in the report of a UK parliamentary
debate involving Francis Wemyss-Charteris Douglas, eighth earl of Wemyss
and sixth earl of March - who was better known as Lord Elcho. It was reported
in Hansard's parliamentary debates, Volume 153. 1859:
If the hon. Member for Birmingham [John Bright] had been present, he
would have asked the hon. Gentleman [Lord Elcho] whether he was satisfied
with the results of his winter campaign. It was notorious that he was not, and
a saying was attributed to him that he found he was "flogging a dead horse."
Whether Lord Elcho was the originator of the phrase, we can't tell, but no
earlier use of it in print has yet come to light.
[8] Extract from the poem, Time, by Suzette Richards
it is not
the first impression
that counts
it is the final thought we leave with others
like lingering dusk
after our sun had set on this mortal world
Kids of today, we here them say, no respect, what do you expect
Always hanging around on the streets, doing nothing and nothing to do
Is it their fault in this decaying society or should the blame lie with you
Dirty, unkempt, drug using, smoking, car thieving, layabouts, so say you
Mature you say, Old and wise but always telling the kids, pushing your own advise
Was it not you that petitioned to have the youth club demolished and razed
Was the noise from a hand full of teenagers so unbearable that you became enraged
Is it their fault that there is no employment and if there is, its on the minimum wage
Yes you live in your own world of self righteousness and predictability, what a pity
Wash the car on Sunday routinely, mow the lawn Saturday on a regular robotic rota, see
Call the kids animals, brain dead, layabouts, ashamed now, ashamed of yourself, you outa be
You have led a privileged life, all bridge clubs and playing golf, you lost reality
OK, so Tom may be a nuisance, he smokes, throws beer cans in your garden, leans on your car
I agree with you, Toms like that and if we are truthful, he probably will not go very far
Then I did hear that he landed a job, begins next week, not the best job washing glasses in a bar
But just to get a chance of work experience is something in these parts, well done Tom, hoorah
The point is, he is trying to make a difference in what he sees as a useless existence, its true
Where as you, Mr Success, from a different time and era well it was easier then, Manager was you
Indexed linked pension now but in your time it was all company car, fringe benefits and salaried too
You probably had a staff of ten, including a personal secretary to do most of your work for you
Not all the kids are the same, Jodie is sixteen, trained hard to be an athlete since she was aged eight
Damned hard work she has put in over the years, non smoker, non drinker, I think it is great
Jodie grew up on the same dirty, over populated, crime ridden, drug problematic, council estate
As Tom did but she chose to change her life by getting up early and doing something about it, mate
You were one of the lucky one's born at the right post war time, no recession, how neat
An economy on the up, war damage to mend, plenty of opportunities and money to spend, oh great
Now you while away the day with your guaranteed pay, standing at the gate scolding at the street
You never had the misfortune to be a hungry kid in a broken home, with very little to eat
Think yourself lucky you got a nice paid for home, with a big garden and central heating not cold
Like the tenement blocks, the people you resent have to live, so high in the sky, its scary, I'm told
For believe me they are bigger, better, higher people and one day, they may drop a bomb on the old
These streets still scare me and I grew up here, They are painted with blood not rolled gold
So get of your high horse and bless the lord for all the things he gave to you and yours
The unfortunate keep themselves to themselves unless you wanna change that course
If you cannot see how privileged life has been for you, go now, go inside and lock your doors
For one day, the kids may get really angry at their lot in life and unleash a destructive force

All eyes on top job at StocklandPUBLISHED: 17 Oct 2012 00:05:58 | UPDATED: 17 Oct 2012 11:15:07PUBLISHED: 17 Oct 2012 PRINT EDITION: 17 Oct 2012
Gretchen Friemann
Stockland's annual general meeting today in Sydney is expected to draw large numbers of investors as the nation's largest residential developer reaches the end of an era with the imminent departure of its long-standing managing director, Matthew Quinn.
While few stakeholders are expecting an announcement on his replacement, many in the audience will be hoping to glean some idea of what the board is looking for in a new leader.
Earlier this year, Stockland chairman Graham Bradley insisted fresh blood might be drawn from the financial services sector – a prospect that has caused consternation to a handful of analysts and investors who maintain the company should be headed by a seasoned property player.
Others, however, have argued Stockland should follow in GPT Group's wake and appoint a banker like Michael Cameron.
So far Charter Hall Group's David Southon and Macquarie Group's Matthew Banks have been identified as potential candidates, although the list is thought to include a wide range of names from both property and banking spheres.
The change at the top comes in the midst of financial turmoil for Stockland, which endured two write-downs in the past six months.
However the recent Reserve Bank of Australia cut in the cash rate has provided a much-needed fillip, propelling Stockland shares almost 7 per cent higher.
In a note to clients on Monday, JPMorgan's Adam Fairfax observed the "market now appears polarised".
He pointed out that "whilst the price has rallied in recent weeks . . ., doubt is creeping in" as investors fret over a "lower [earnings] guidance, or even further write downs".
He pointed out Stockland's 2012-13 financial year distribution yield of 6.6 per cent remained "compelling", adding the "announcement of a CEO will be a positive [security price] catalyst in the first instance".
Investors at the annual general meeting will also be seeking clarity over the group' controversial strategy focused on retail, residential and retirement. Agents Jones Lang LaSalle have been appointed to sell the bulk of the company's $800 million industrial portfolio.
However the marketing campaign for the assets will not begin until early next year, allowing the new chief executive to reverse the decision.

Price and location
loved the staff the location the service, the amazing breakfast.
Rooms are comfortable and clean. Breakfast and room service are good enough.
wifi Internet are not good enough. some rooms not enough warm during winter season.
Perfect location, top quality hotel at reasonable price, excellent breakfast. We had the two-storey family quadruple room with fantastic view of the city walls. It was clean, quiet, comfortable and included a fridge (useful for storing our daughter's antibiotic medicine). The wi-fi worked in the room, which is not that common with hotels. There was even a bathroom on each floor.
There was nothing not to like.
Great location and a very comfortable hotel.
The wifi was not very stable.
Spotlessly Clean, unexpected large room very comfortable, mini bar and kettle upon request. Reception helpful with train information and getting around generally. would highly recommend this hotel.
No restaurant facility, there is a ar with snacks.
Everything was perfect
I liked almost everything; it has almost all facilities/amenities which one business purpose hotel should have.
Receptionist was good but I felt she was bit rude.
This is the one of the best hotel we stayed in northern Italy. Excellent location to visit many of the beautiful cities in Veneto and Ville Venete. Quiet location by the old city walls. Safe free parking. Very good breakfast.
I liked everything. Stuff was very friendly and helpful, hotel is at a great location in the center of the town just infront of the main square and facing the castle walls. Very comfortable, spacious and clean rooms. The breakfast was realy good. Excellent value for money. Castelfranco is a nice little place. Also it is very good to stay in if you wish to visit Venice or Verona because they are very close.I am sure that we will be back again.
There is nothing not to like at this hotel. It is perfect.
For a 3 star, this was perfect. Massive room. A fully functioning bathroom (ie- a shower that you can fit in and good water pressure). Perfect location. Great staff. Great breakfast. Stayed in 6 , 3star hotels on this trip, this one left all the others in the shade by a considerable mile.
Hard to figure how this rates as a 3star compared to some of the other 3 star hotels we stayed in. In Italy, this could be a 4 star easily.
There was nothing not to like.
Modern, good hotel, excellent location, right in the downtown.

2 questions really:
1. Normally Autodesk allows an AutoCAD stand alone license to be installed and activated on 2 computures for 1 person while only using 1 at a time. Say a "work" and "home" computer. Currently I have a new "home" computer, therefore I would like to activate the license on my new "home" computer and 'deactivate' the license on my old "home" computer. How should this be done?
2. This stems from quesiton 1. I would think that I can use the Licenses Tranfer Utility tool/method from the old "home computer to the new "home" computer, however I am concerned that this will 'deactivate' the license on my "work" computer as well. Is this correct or no? How does LTU handle this 'dual' activation? Can a license be permantley 'active' on say the "work" computer and then tranfered between several "home" computers. For example say you have a "work" desktop, a "home" desktop and a "home" laptop. Assuming you are (must) only be using 1 at any given time, can you have your "work" computer active while transfering licenses between your "home" computers?
Thanks I appreciate your time!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi Ryan,
You are absolutely correct in that you would utilize the LTU to move the license from the old home computer to the new one.
In regards to your second question, in doing so it would not affect or deactivate the license on your work computer as the LTU simply exports license info from one machine to the cloud until another machine requests it / imports it. To further clarify, the LTU can be used with multiseat standalone licenses (one serial number, multiple seats, multiple activations) without issue, which is pretty similar to your situation (one serial number, multiple activations).
Please note that you can't export more licenses than you actually own, i.e. with one seat you would only be able to have one open export at a time.
Check out the LTU FAQ and How-To for more info and accept as a solution if this fully answers your inquiry, or reply with additional questions as needed.
Thanks that claifies it for me.
"Please note that you can't export more licenses than you actually own, i.e. with one seat you would only be able to have one open export at a time."
Tthat was the 'limitation' I was looking for.

The aim of present investigation is to formulate evaluate and optimization of colon targeted pellets bearing mebendazole, benzimidazole derivative with broad spectrum of anthelminthic activity. It is highly effective against adult and larval stages of ascaris lumbricoids, hook worms and indicated for the treatment of nematode infestation. Pellets were prepared by extrusion spheronization process using microcrystalline cellulose as spheronizing aid, natural polysaccharide pectin as binders in three different percentages i.e 5%, 10% and 15% and glycerine as plasticizer. Further study was carried out to select the natural polysaccharide for formulation of colon targeted pellets i.e. Pectine, Xanthan gum and Guar gum. The formulation were prepared with optimized constant process parameters i.e. Percentage LOD 10%, Spheronization time 3 minutes and Speed of spheronization 700-1200 rpm. Prepared A1 – A9 batches were then evaluated by their micromeritic properties like tapped density, carr's index, hausner, S ratio, angle of repose and characterized by microscopic study, % yield, hardness, friability, % assay and dissolution study was carried out and compared with marketed formulation by statistical analysis similarity factor (f2). The batch A5 is having 10% pectin, 18% MCC and 20% mebendazole shows (22.20±2.05) % carr's index, (1.22±0.04) hausner's ratio, (26.65±1.15) angle of repose, (88.2±2.36) % yield, (3.96±0.46) hardness, (0.23±0.03) % friability (88.47±3.26) % assay and (99.81±3.80) % drug release after 10 hours. Pellets equivalent to 300mg of mebendazole were then filled in capsules and capsules coated with 12.5% w/v Eudragit S 100 using optimized 4- 5 ml/min spray rate, 15 rpm pan speed and 40±5°C coating inlet temperature and then optimized for % weight gain in four different trials. W2 batch having 10% weight gain were then evaluated by % cumulative drug release, disintegration test in 0.1 N HCl shows (99.73±3.34) % CDR, intact after 12 hours. The pellets of batch A5 and the enteric coated capsule with 10 % weight gain were packed in aluminum pouch and charged for accelerated stability studies at (40°C±2°C) and (75%±5%) RH for 1 month in a stability chamber shows no change in the dissolution profile at (40°C±2°C) and (75%±5%) RH storage condition.

But starting pitching wasn't the big problem for the Astros these first two games in St. Louis. Brandon Backe wasn't great, but he left Wednesday's Game 1 with the game very much still within reach. Pete Munro was pretty darn good through his four shutout innings in Thursday's Game 2, especially considering he hadn't pitched in two weeks, before running out of gas in the fifth.

Neurosurgery Information:Neuromuscular diseases are those which affect the muscle or their nervous control. Generally, neuromuscular problems interfere with movement, affecting spasticity or paralysis to an extent. Such disorders include stroke, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, Huntington's disease, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
Diagnostic procedures to test for a neuromuscular disease can include first hand clinical observations of loss of muscle control, as well as testing the chemical and antigen levels in blood and electromyography.

Calderbank offers revisited
By Miranda Whiteley
The recent Court of Appeal decision in Walker Construction (UK) Ltd v Quayside Homes Ltd suggests that it may not be necessary for a defendant to make a Part 36 offer to secure full costs protection at trial. We look at the circumstances in which a defendant can confidently make a Calderbank offer with a limited costs liability and the implications of the rather confusing message coming from the courts.
The existence of two separate regimes (offers complying with Part 36 and Calderbank offers, which do not) is a recipe for confusion. The problem was made much worse by the redrafting of Part 36 in 2007 and the uncertainty that followed about whether offers were valid Part 36 offers. From 2010, the Court of Appeal made a concerted effort to introduce certainty concerning the costs consequences of settlement offers.
The cause of certainty was put back by the majority decision of the Court of Appeal in Medway PCT v Marcus. The court held that where the quantum of a clinical negligence claim was legitimately much higher than the sum recovered by the claimant at trial (quantum was agreed at £525,000 but the claimant only recovered £2,000 because, although he won on liability, he failed on causation), it was fair for the defendant to recover 75 per cent of its costs…

At least seven people were killed on Tuesday when Pakistani police clashed with followers of a fiery preacher in the eastern city of Lahore, hospital officials said.
LAHORE: At least seven people were killed on Tuesday when Pakistani police clashed with followers of a fiery preacher in the eastern city of Lahore, hospital officials said.
The clashes involved supporters of Canadian-Pakistani Tahir-ul-Qadri who held a major anti-corruption march last year prior to the May 2013 election that saw the country's first democratic handover of power.
"We received seven bodies including two women. All of them had bullet wounds," said Dr Abdul Rauf, Medical Superintendent at the city's Jinnah Hospital.
"We also received 80 injured, 40 with bullet injuries and 40 with other wounds. Two injured are critical," he said.
Muhammad Rizwan, another member of the medical staff, confirmed that the bodies had been received.
Abdul Jabbar, a senior police officer, told AFP the clashes began when police went to the office of Qadri's Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT), meaning "Pakistan People's Movement", in the city's Model Town suburb on Monday night.
"The PAT activists resisted the operations which caused clashes between the protesters and police," he said.
"We went to the area again during the morning with additional force. The PAT activists pelted stones on policemen and our force used tear gas to disperse them. We managed to complete the operation and remove the barriers despite the resistance," he added.
A spokesman for the PAT said up to 12 workers had been killed.
"They launched this operation to counter our peaceful movement and the 'green revolution' promised by Doctor Tahir-ul-Qadri," he said.
"We pelted stones to resist direct firing by police over protesters. We have information that 12 of our workers have been killed," he added.

How will this be different than Charles Armstrong school?
on Jul 17, 2012 at 10:27 am
This school will be different than Charles Armstrong School because to start, it will be at a different location (Palo Alto rather than Belmont) and have different teachers. There are a few more differences, but I'll let you do your own legwork from this point; you know, "teach a man to fish" and all
on Jul 17, 2012 at 11:00 am
Snark repellent - funny, I don't think I need to learn to fish to get info about a school. I realize the location is different - duh - I was wondering what the differences might be in the actual teaching and instruction methods. And I realize that a huge portion of the Charles Armstrong students are from Palo Alto.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Heat Traps are valves or loops of pipe installed on the cold water inlet and hot water outlet pipes on water heaters. The heat traps allow cold water to flow into the water heater tank, but prevent unwanted convection and heated water to flow out of the tank.[1][2] Newer water heaters have built-in heat traps.
