For every Nepal visitor, the Himalayan range awes and fascinates. Each and every one coming to Nepal expects not only to see Himalayas but also to reach as near as possible. One of the biggest attractions for the visitors to Nepal is the Mountain Flight.

I say they have a decent chance. The standings have the Blazers about 5 or 6 games out of the 8 spot. Blazers are 2 games below .500 and the current 8, Denver, is 4 games over .500. Blazers have played 44 games of a 66 game schedule, so there are 22 games remaining in the regular season.
What percentage chance do you think the Blazers have of making the playoffs this year? (I say 45%.)
Would you prefer the Blazers to make the playoffs or tank? Assume its an either-or proposition. I would much rather watch a few playoff games then have our draft selection go up a few spots (do we even have a #1 this year?).
Go Blazers.

here is one that was around on the other sites last year...still makes me chuckle...:D
:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey why is that guy trying to put Bullwinkle into Rocky's truck?
2 words:
Spacial.... relationships.
That brought back memories. I shot one in NH a few years ago. It wasnt near as big as that one it was only a 2 year old cow. We had it loaded in a back of a ford explorer sporttrac. Thats a heck of a bull!:eek:
LOL that would have been some work to get the moose in there.I shot a cow elk 2 years ago and it took 5 guys to load the thing.
I would love to see that rolling down the highway.
I would have loved to video tape them putting that in the back of the truck. I can't even begin to imagine how tough that must have been. Wow!
Seen that in the past on some other hunting forums. I've got pictures of my big bull in the back of the truck coming down the highway on the way home with it.
See if I can find them and I'll post them here.

Michael Steele Takes Heat after Abortion Remarks
RNC Chairman Michael Steele is creating a big fuss after his interview with GQ where he said women have the right to choose abortion.
Are you saying you think women have the right to choose abortion?
Yeah. I mean, again, I think that's an individual choice.
You do?
Yeah. Absolutely.
Are you saying you don't want to overturn Roe v. Wade?
I think Roe v. Wade - as a legal matter, Roe v. Wade was a wrongly decided matter.
Okay, but if you overturn Roe v. Wade, how do women have the choice you just said they should have?
The states should make that choice. That's what the choice is. The individual choice rests in the states. Let them decide.
Do pro-choicers have a place in the Republican Party?
Politico's Ben Smith reports that Steele put out this statement:
I am pro-life, always have been, always will be.
I tried to present why I am pro life while recognizing that my mother had a "choice" before deciding to put me up for adoption. I thank her every day for supporting life. The strength of the pro life movement lies in choosing life and sharing the wisdom of that choice with those who face difficult circumstances. They did that for my mother and I am here today because they did. In my view Roe vs. Wade was wrongly decided and should be repealed. I realize that there are good people in our party who disagree with me on this issue.
But the Republican Party is and will continue to be the party of life. I support our platform and its call for a Human Life Amendment. It is important that we stand up for the defenseless and that we continue to work to change the hearts and minds of our fellow countrymen so that we can welcome all children and protect them under the law.
Charmaine Yoest, the president and CEO of Americans United for Life Action responded:
"I think it is very troubling for a public figure, of either party, particularly one who presents himself as pro-life, to describe the abortion issue as being a matter of 'individual choice,'" That is language straight out of Planned Parenthood's messaging playbook," Yoest said she hadn't heard from the RNC. "There are millions of pro-life Americans, Republican and Democrat, who are looking for leadership on the life issue and they will find Mr. Steele's comments disturbing and demoralizing."
Steele also called homosexuality and individual choice, but his comments on abortion are taking the most heat.
Do you think homosexuality is a choice?
Oh, no. I don't think I've ever really subscribed to that view, that you can turn it on and off like a water tap. Um, you know, I think that there's a whole lot that goes into the makeup of an individual that, uh, you just can't simply say, oh, like, "Tomorrow morning I'm gonna stop being gay." It's like saying, "Tomorrow morning I'm gonna stop being black."
So your feeling would be that people are born one way or another.
I mean, I think that's the prevailing view at this point, and I know that there's some out there who think that you can absolutely make that choice. And maybe some people have. I don't know, I can't say. Until we can give a definitive answer one way or the other, I think we should respect that.
"Homosexuality" is obsolete theory, and a word mostly used these days by people of ill will.
The Bible doesn't say homosexuality is a sin, because there weren't "homosexuals" in Bible days.The Bible doesn't condemn same sex orientation, as that wasn't even thought of. The beloved, by people of ill will, verses are ultimately about idolatry, don't do as the pagans do (this isn't controversial, by the way), and in Leviticus, my theory is that the smugly recited "clobber" verse is probably about patriarchy as well. (Gay men don't lie with a man as with a woman, after all. Only a "straight" man might do that...and for what reason? Likely, it's to make the other man subservient to him...like a woman, in those days.)
Some 20th Century Bibles do have the "H" word in them. Those Bibles should be replaced with better interpreted Bibles. How many other science theory labels, especially defunct ones, are used in 20th Century Bibles, after all? "...those who did bow before his computer generated and laser projected hologram; still biological processing they were cast -- the two -- to the lake of the phlogiston, that is a chemical reaction of rapidly oxidizing Sulfur into Sulfur dioxide."
Most people don't like outsiders with noticeable ill will labeling them, especially with obsolete, Victorian era science labels, like Drosophila or Pteridophyta.People have identity and community. They will chose their own names and labels. It's hateful to deliberately not use those labels, such as saying "homosexual" instead of "Gay" (and capitalize "Gay," too, my latest cause.).
"Gay" is the near world wide self consensus name, from Nepal to Seattle, though of course, local communities have their local language names as well.
GLBT will do for an even more inclusive label. MSM is the term sociologist use for men who have sex with men, but don't necessarily identify as Gay. Some Black men prefer SGL, Single Gender Loving. A somewhat eccentric friend does prefer "The Tribe Homosexual." He chose it for his identity, for his community, and that's to be respected. People of ill will did not chose it, and when they use "homosexual," they're likely just being hateful.
Our Nation settled by W.A.S.P. (WHITE ANGLO SAXON PROTESTEANTS) FACT 1. Our founding Fathers based our Constitution and Bill of Rights on a Faith in the King James Bible,"One Nation under God." etc. Thanks to our founding fathers, our ancestors and God's blessings they made our country the greatest Nation on earth for two hundred years, we believed in and protected our Faith, Belief and God's word, what happened? Is it the belief that God's word is no longer valued and we not longer believe in God's word as it appliles to our life. We don't need God's word anymore he's just a fairy tale? We don't get to pick which of God's word we apply to our lives or which ones we don't, its all or nothing.
Mr Steele has been elected to be a leader to pull together the Republican Party. The Party, now a minority in Congress, etc, has a very important role to play in our country's future. Without a vocal, united opposition party many needed fresh ideas will fail to be considered. Generalities will not do. The activity of the majority party will generate some different approaches to the needs addressed. Here or in matters the Majority do not address at all the Opposition plays a very real role in Government.
In her 2008 autobiography, SPEAKING FOR MYSELF, Cherie Blair (Mrs Tony) describes the British Parlement opposition appointing a complete opposition cabinet. Thus the government has two independant strains of input to consider in forming legislation,policy and executive actions.
We lost the election because we ran a moderate republican...in order to reach a different destination.....you must take a different path. Mr.
Steele is NOT a different path. He is NOT a conservative, and without a strong conservative....
We will continue to loose.
The Republican Party wasn't founded as a "conservative" party. It doesn't have to be a "conservative" party. I wish it wasn't a "conservative" party. I'm no longer a Republican.
It's unfortunate that the GOP surrendered to those who were deservedly purged from the Democrat party.
What "conservative" has come to mean in the Republican party, isn't really conservative as I think of conservative, but states' rights, the political theory of white privilege, class privilege, Protestant, Christian privilege, male privilege, sycophant privilege...privilege, as defined and determined by the privileged, and not universal individual rights. No wonder poor Steele is a bundle of contradictions.
Mr. Peterson,
Homosexuality wasn't even thought of? In Genesis 19:5 the men of Sodom wanted the angels, whom it says they thought were men, brought out of the house so they can have sex with them. As far as Leviticus 20:13, it speaks for itself pretty clearly-
'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
It says or implies NOTHING about subserviency. This is a fairy tale you simply made up with no proof to back it up. If you would look at the scripture in context you'd see that whole section speaks of sexual sin not subserviency. God clearly calls the act of homosexuality detestable and calls for death to any of those Isrealites who would have practiced it.
So Mr. Erickson, you're demanding that law abiding citizens, maybe your neighbor, colleague, maybe your son or daughter, be put to death because of what you think you have read in the Bible? A verse that doesn't say what you say it does? If literal interpretation will get me to heaven, St. Peter can strike my name off right his list this instant.
Read the verse in its context...in Leviticus, in the Torah, in the Jewish understanding (yesterday and today), in the Old Testament, with the New Testament, in the Bible, in different interpretations, in your country, your world, with today's ever expanding databases and technology, and history's understandings of time and place. It's fun.
My Bible is not a weapon, but apparently, yours is lethal. Put it in a gun safe and keep it away from children.
For one, I said that the punishment for THE ISRAELITES of THAT TIME was death. Please do not try the strawman thing on me. You act as though you know more about the Bible than all Christians yet you miss the appropriate corrolations between the Old and New Testaments? Either you are indeed naive concerning scripture or you purposely twisted my words
I would like to address th part of your response where you imply that homosexuality is natural and thus O.K. You are essentially saying that whatever is natural governs what is right and moral. I guess you are against gays adopting children then, since it would be unnatural for them to procreate. I guess greed and killing would be morally good as well since anything that comes "naturally" to the human race is morally good. The Bible tells us to give ourselves to Christ and resist these kinds of things that come "natural" to us.
Why don't you show me in the Bible without using your theories and conjectures where it says that homosexuality is permissible. Don't give me the Jonathan and David thing either, that is a very WEAK argument with, again, no proof.
It doesn't. Infact the Bible talks negatively about homosexuality or clarifies a position against it in every instance- Genesis 2:24, Genesis 19:4 Leviticus 18:22, Leviticus 20:13, Mark 10:6-9, Romans 1:24-27, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10.
If you choose to live a homosexual lifestyle that is your choice (yes, choice). But don't try to imply that God endorses your lifestyle when he's clearly against it.
Please, this page should be about the article, not rants. That's what Facebook threads are for.
Steele... oh, Steele. He's like the party, still reeling from the last election and not sure what to think, so he speaks without thinking.
Leaving abortion to the states reminds me of slave-state free-state divisions. Lincoln quoted Christ that a household divided against itself cannot stand; neither can a party against itself.
Sexual orientation is not the same as race. Steele is just putting his foot in mouth again, shooting from the hip when he should just say "I don't know" and question the relevancy of the question. That puts him on the offensive instead of curling up into the conversational fetal position he's in now.
I would agree that race and sexual preference are two completely different things,and it is an insult to all minorities to imply that wanting to have sex with another man is akin to being black or hispanic. Studies have also shown that pedophiles have certain unique genes that drive them to do what they do as well, I would hope nobody would try to justify that as moral. The gene theory or "we're just like you brotha'" thing does not fly. As far as the abortion slavery comparison you made. That's a different story. Various supreme court decisions had upheld things like partial-birth abortion using the reasoning that since we do not know when a life begins we'll just leave it up to the mother to decide. Could you imagine how horrible it would have been had we said this of slavery? It would go like this- "Well since we don't 'know' if these 'folks' are truly people or simply animals like many owners claim, we'll just leave it up to each owner to determine if person is really a person or if he is just an animal for the owner to treat however he likes."- This would have been horrible, but this is the same way we are treating unborn children. Since most abortions are done for the "convenience" of the mother the unborn child who would lose her life should recieve the benefit of the doubt over her mother's convenience.
I also find it interesting when someone uses the personal autonomy argument for abortion. If there is a man standing on the street corner gratifying himself, we would not simply say, "Well he has the right to do what he wants with his own body". Why wouldn't we say this? Because it involves other people. Other people would have to see this, and we should not be subjected to such a thing. As a result we have laws that make sure we don't have to see something like that on our street corners. So basically we are willing to override personal autonomy so we don't have to look at something offensive for a couple of minutes(and rightfully so). However, we won't allow an unborn child to live and instead sentence her to death because of the "personal autonomy" of her mother. That's not right.
As far as the Republicans they need to learn what hisory has always taught them. Every time they fall for the lie that they need to go moderate they lose. This was especially true this time, McCain was a moderate and Bush was spending like a drunken sailor. They lost the enthusiasm of their base and allowed Obama's Psudo-Christian message to siphon votes from the Christian conservatives.
Homosexuality isn't in the Bible because it's obsolete sexology theory. It didn't exist, then or now. It's neither OK nor condemned, because it's not there."Homosexual" is not something that people are.
"Homosexual" theory doesn't take in account "identity." Applying the word to humans is demeaning to them, stripping them of their self identity.
Good point on "Natural means it's OK" though I thought I made it clear that it's OK for some but not for those who aren't Gay and vice versa. Natural doesn't mean that something is OK, of course, but it does mean that it's not "unnatural."
Saying that some people are doing something "unnatural" is saying that they aren't quite human. Humans may imagine doing something impossible, something unnatural, but they can't do the impossible. Something unnatural is something that's impossible.
The Bible has an antipathy towards same sex sexual relations, but it shows that towards a lot of things for which there is no reason anymore, like my cotton-polyester blend shirt, a ham and cheese sandwich, menstruation or my neighbor's dog.
If you want something to dislike, try injustice and usury, and leave your Gay neighbor alone.
I didn't pick on gays. You're the one that started the issue. Like I said if you want to defend homosexuality that's your right as an American, but it's also my right to refute it. As far as your "cotton-polyester blend shirt, a ham and cheese sandwich, menstruation or my neighbor's dog" God prohiblited all of these things for the Isrealites but homosexuality is one of those that God said is detestable. If God finds something detestable, it's detestable whether the Isrealites or anybody else is doing it. I also find it interesting that as a Chrisitan I'm supposed to leave my "gay neighbor" alone. However, our society doesn't leave it's Christian neighbor alone. Grade school children are taught against parental wishes that homosexuality is natural and OK and that Adam and Eve is just a myth (though there is no evidence to support this). Condoms are handed out in school, children of Christian parents can be taken by a public school teacher to get an abortion without partental consent or knowledge (but they need my permission to give them a Tylenol), etc, etc.
Even though you may disagree, homosexuality is detrimental to a person's spiritual health. I will have the same concern for that person as I would if they were doing something detrimental to their physical health. If someone is hurting themselves physically I will speak up even if they think I'm "narrow minded" for it, and I will do the same in regards to spiritual issues.
Also, do you not care for more than just one issue at a time? Because I disagree with you about homosexuality doesn't mean I don't also care about, or that I don't speak out about, "injustice and usury" or a myriad of other issues. Since you don't know me, I find it unfair and intellectually dishonest for you to suggest that since I disagree with you on this issue that I don't care about the poor. Jesus himself cared for the poor and also spoke out against sin (he cared about people's body AND spirit).
"homosexuality is one of those that God said is detestable"
No, God didn't say it. "Homosexuality" is obsolete theory from the Victorian era. The Bible wasn't written in the 19th Century. Why do you keep tacitly saying that it was?
Time isn't capricious. It flows in one direction only, at least for humans. Applying the concept of homosexuality retroactively to Bible times is irresponsible translating. The concept didn't exist at that time, and it's an obsolete theory in this time.
Things that are detestable to God are things always, and I mean ALWAYS, identified with idolatry and idol worship. We now know that idolatry doesn't make people Gay or be attracted to same-sex partnerships.
That would probably be genetic predispositions and epigenetic influences. Environment likely doesn't make people Gay, though it influences how people explain themselves and others.
There likely isn't a Gay gene, just as there likely isn't an intelligence gene either.
Things that were identified with idolatry by those protecting identity, at that time, are detestable and abominations. God didn't say it, people thought it and then claimed God's authority, as God's priests, in enforcing their understandings. Idolatry, like "race" are social concepts, are relative, change with time...and are unnecessary but difficult to expunge from one's life.
When I read the Bible, I don't think that what was detestable then is still detestable today. Idolatry evolves. Today, we have different idols, worshiped in different ways.
Think of the lesson of Jesus harassing the moneychangers in the Temple. Animal sacrifices were unnecessary, but were difficult to expunge from Jewish identity...and much better than human sacrifices that others were doing.
Today, Jews and Christians do just fine without animal sacrifices. Jesus apparently prefers kindness, compassion and mercy to animal sacrifices...who knew?
Talk about detestable...that would be conservative Christian's idolatrous support, literally translated from an inerrant Bible, of slavery, racism and religious triumphalism.
Pretty much the same Supreme Court that arrogantly declared America to be a (read: "white) Christian nation in 1892 also declared in 1898 the doctrine of "Separate but Equal" in Plessey v. Ferguson.
There is no such thing as separate but equal. Equal is equal. Separate is inherently unequal, as some group is smaller, or less popular, less powerful and/or less wealthy.
Things that are detestable to God are things identified with idolatry...I won't speak for God, I speak for myself, but the conservative Christian's incessant and insecure declarations of the Bible as itinerant and without contradiction is biblioidolatry in my book. It's detestable...and it destroys the Bible, turning it from the beginning of wisdom, to a moral and intellectual blindfold.
Myths are the stories of the gods, so the story of Adam and Eve wouldn't be a myth. Speaking of the beginning of wisdom (how's this for a segue?) You might enjoy Leon Kaas' "The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis."
On the other hand, Robert Graves and Raphael Patai wrote the "Hebrew Myths: The Book of Genesis" so what do I know? That's lots of fun as well. Come to think of it, I think that's the book where I got this definition of myths.
There you go again comparing "conservative Christians" to racists and bigots. A "man lying with another man" as he would a woman IS homosexuality. I already told you this. By your rationale you would have to say that the Bible does not condemn incest or beastiality either because it was condemned in the Old Testament. After all it's all only about idolatry and God changes his mind all of the time constantly on the essentials of good and evil. Homosexuality is condemne in the New Testament also, I showed you that. If God is always changing his mind about what is detestable to him, then there is nothing about him for which we can trust. This is not true.
As far as trying to compare the gay issue with the race issue, another strawman argument. For one, you are factually incorrect. The only ones who have said that Black skin is a curse from God are the Mormons. Secondly Homosexuality today has nothing to do with racist views others may have held in the past. They are two completely different things. The Bible has never said anything against blacks, and the fact that some folks supposedly misinterpreted it as such does not somehow mean that God thinks homosexuality is moral. This is incoherent. Two different issues my freind, two way different issues.
This is my last post here. It's become obvious you don't want to hear what I have to say. You would rather argue with me and mislead people with lies. As with all of us, you will someday have to give an account to God for the things you have done, including misleading others. I hope you come around before then.
Thank-you for your time. You may have the last word.
I believe Michael Steele is correct in his stance. There is no way in my mind that life begins with conception. The two cells that combine are alive in the same way that they are when combined. We get our souls, that which separates us from animals, when we are born, when the cells mature to form a breathing human. Before that, they are an attachment of the mother.
The Bible clearly states that life and personhood begins with "breath". With the creation of "man" in Genesis 2:7, God:
"...breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being."
Let's get this straight. You made an absolute statement. You said that life DOES NOT begin until the baby takes its first breath. You said we "get our souls" and become a person when we are born and take our first breath. Period, something you seem absolutely sure of. Since this is true, I guess a man can come to a woman, whether she is only one month pregnant or due to give birth in a few hours and punch her in the stomach as hard as he can. Even though the baby is killed as a result, the only thing we would book him for, by your reasoning, is simple assalt. After all, the only thing he damaged is a glob of cells. You might say that's alright but to me that's not good at all.

Thompson receives injection in elbow
Right-hander hopes to begin throwing Sunday or Monday
ST. LOUIS -- Brad Thompson received a cortisone shot in his right elbow on Thursday, and the Cardinals right-hander hopes to begin throwing again on Sunday or Monday. Thompson is on the disabled list due to inflammation in his elbow.
"We'll just see how it feels," Thompson said. "However many days that is."
Thompson, 26, last pitched on April 22. He was optioned to the Minors the following day, but the option was rescinded when he was placed on the disabled list. His condition is considered to be relatively minor, but nonetheless it's keeping him off the field.
The shot, administered by Dr. George Paletta, was intended to relieve the discomfort in Thompson's elbow. Structurally, there is not believed to be anything significantly wrong with the joint. Or, at least, there's nothing structurally in Thompson's elbow that most pitchers aren't also dealing with.
Still, he's eager to get back on a mound, even if it's just a game of catch. While his teammates stretched on the field on Friday afternoon, Thompson read a book.
"I'm getting bored," he said.

My Shrink Says Hers Went Up Like a Dream
I want a man who isn't afraid to circle me
on a form. There's a line through the trees, jerk it
or make me a better offer or thank you for looking.
A tribe can migrate only so far without sticks
and a proven method. You can't count on anything
to combust when you need it to. Not these days, nope.
Tents are hard to put up. Don't you find that it's hard
when you're trying to put up a tent? I do. I think tents
are really hard. I'd rather do almost anything than have
genital measles in a tent. Tents fucking suck, man.
Look, all I'm trying to say here so you know who I am
and where I'm coming from is that I'm passionate
about a lot of things and putting up tents is one of them.
I have the desire. I have the moxy. I have the instructions.
Why can't the tent just behave predictably like in the diagram?
They make these diagrams in China or India or Ohio.
How am I supposed to work with that? I want it to work,
really. I've been trying to deal with this tent thing for years
but I can't get past some emotional or physical blockage or maybe
I'm just too nice. It's like tents don't want anything to do with me.
I have friends who have had the same tent for, like, fifteen,
twenty years without ever having a problem. That's the kind
of tent I'm looking for. The one perfect tent for me. I believe
it's possible and I have the anger necessary to make this work.
If you can relate then maybe we belong in a tent together?
I just got out of a tent I was in for almost ten years. Today, I started
leaning on angry looking Spaniards. shh. Last month, I took up salting
peoples' wounds. I salivate too easily. I keep a single snail in my boot
(metaphorically speaking), and cook upwards of a billion meals a minute.
I can survive without astrologers, storm troopers, or fruitarian death squads…on occasion.
I collect new ideas and weave them into things you can use to make your life more bearable. If you want to woo me, try feeding me to rock stars. I'm a sort of thoroughbred savant, ridden hard and put up wet until I corrected my altitude.
All fascinating ideas make me drivel; fantasies about the future of rock stars I've not been flown through yet. But am I the fog or the instruments? A rock star's dog might develop a complex formula for flying me blind without my ever knowing it. The formula might save millions of lives he could then go and snuff on TV. All when he could have flown over the bank in the first place! Flying through fog is safer than you think. Flying on instruments is a skill like playing Smoke on the Water. A dog that gifted can still elevate me just by sending adipose roadies with apologetic powders I can reinterpret as something someone with a chord and no columnar makeup might even (not possibly) remember.
Just scattergun all those imaginary adoring vibes my way. Are you ready, open and available for bar mitzvahs on zero notice? Break out in arrested bumps at the suggestion of a deeply loving and committed term of zero distance conjunctiva? Do you step up to the plate when things start to get foodier? You love intellectual pursuits, murder, and the Ohio Arts. The orders are immaterial, you died in the charts then were freed to make live infant mandalas for a system of deforestation of the mind.
If you're mine you learn everything from the dead. Bellini once said, "The only slang worth its weight in one night stands is the slang you create yourself while creating yourself killing things." Extra decorations if you pretend to understand the ramifications of negation of the self in the pursuit of a series of perpetually more accessible rungs. There's booty at the bottom of the well, are you my Dear Liza Everyman? Unsure of your place in the KOA/KKK regulations as to what may be gunned or released?
Sidenote: I have a full head matte black nictitating hood that makes almost anything probable.
You have a deep affinity for integrity, and honesty. You have earned the privilege of deep connection in relationship.
This is incomprehensible code I will now translate for the benefit of anyone whose cardiac chart is written on voice of a generation replica stationary:
You look sporty in floods. You once swept a woman off her feet by swinging a knockoff Thai explorer at the weak spot not yet on her knee. You have impressed yourself mightily by sloshing through the miasma with your metalflake face intact. You are a stone cold testifier and fruit doesn't even stick to your crewcut. You spell self declared giants when they need smack breaks. The title of your autobio is Fizzle Slovenia: My Life as a One Horse Pump. There's a microscopic flaw in your mintage, makes you worth ten to twenty percent of anything under two cents' face value. You are a mandala, a picture of something intended to be swept away and replaced by itself when it feels like it. You are dead, in a way, but not too dead and mine in the senses that you bought my patent on sand babies and because you feel like it.
The Thrills That Gives Me the Joys:
What gives me the joys?
Women who get vanished in small towns.
A woman called up by a visual error.
Comfortable raunch in the workplace.
The new biopsy bra by Vicky.
A by the numbers oil of HIM as a bottle of notes on a lee shore.
The hammer and pegs a failed hippie might wear.
Holy pedantry.
The reversal of the inverse color of nothing.
Walking while texting.
Texting while eating.
Eating while walking on your text.
Talking over text being read while I'm eating.
And it comes out here.
Articulating the trumpet in my jeans.
Practical mechanics applied to my innermost desires and being
harmlessly incapable of sluttiness except in the strictest sense.
Sensual things in liquid suspension.
Sex in the wake of an undisclosed agreement.
(Sex is the car you want, a dog is the car you get.)
There's no place I wouldn't take you, (including wakes, assassinations in the country, other assignments in the country, driving to the country to the farmer's markets to gather herbs and take them home to the country, gardening in the nude, gardening in the new police state, on top of a jagged spicerack, while cooking you or for you, while exercising my franchise to elect to read the same outside as inside, in the middle of the decomposition of my childhood Babar, destroying tents for special occasions, before, during and after ice shopping, into a blanked field as art)
I do it all for you:
Intellectual things you can think about in a tent.
New ideas for tent design.
Chasing intellectual ideas about how to design better, more efficient portable camping shelters. Learning some things then forgetting them so we can learn them again together then forget them while practicing tantric his and her tent sex at opposite ends of the galaxy in tents.
Becoming all new and debuting unchanged this weekend.
Learning to let go and teaching it to my tent.
Taking courses in tent management.
I possess the purity of knowledge of a canvas enclosure whose sole
intention is to keep my destiny from cluttering up my view.
For you I will blow a former arrested rock star.
Only for you will I imitate engagement with the word.
In my desire to please you I will initiate leaden silences.
Rock stars who go in for thinking make me nuts in the jeans.
As a favor to our future I will pretend not to notice that
I'm thinking again.
I'll embrace good conversation until you speak.
I like being close to another, but you'll certainly have to suffice until the semester is over
and the bus with the airbrushed plaid skull fragment comes to ride me. it hasn't happened yet.
But companionship is like a companionway on a ship: too narrow for more than one to enjoy,
too low for anything meatless, too airless to care much what it fills with as the forward
compartment sinks below the horizon in your Space Needle sno-globe.
I don't know about you but I'm feeling really connected! Feels like I'm loving some
form of organism that looks hot in airbrushed plaid Bermudas and flip flops.
And you? Are you feeling that I'm making someone feel as loved as I am? Feeling
like I am, and having secured a part in the chorus of Unchain the Morning Senseless,
I'm reminded of the story of Georgette, and the spot the largest one was tied to.
Having said that, with that said, at the end of the day, and going for it.
Dreaming of one more gold star reacharound with that mini-dicked eschatological Ziz
in the footnote.
The tent in my beckoning throat…the fading of the appointment's relevance…
the braised panda we had on that first unforgettable mystery cruise to Domino's…
how the butler's kilt never fully relaxed…contributing to a grittier sense of the whole.
How like the air the air seems.

Bellevue awards scholarships
BELLEVUE Hospital is known for its work in mental care. However, with the launch of its education scholarship on Wednesday, the institution showed that education is also an area of focus.
The hospital, through its Psychiatric Nursing Aides Association of Jamaica, presented scholarships to 12-year-old Matthew Martin, who will be attending St George's College, and Orlando Smith, who will be attending Kingston Technical High School. The boys were awarded $15,000 each every year for the next three years. They will also be mentored by members of the association.
President of the association, Denzil Currie, told guests at the institution on Windward Road in Kingston that the association decided to offer the scholarships as a part of its 40th anniversary celebrations. He said the association has recognised the importance of education as a medium by which people can advance themselves.
"We are elated to assist these children for the next two years," he said, before advising the boys to strive for excellence.
Health Minister Dr Fenton Ferguson was also present Wednesday and lauded the association for the venture, noting that education is the best instrument for social mobility and the best medicine for poverty, crime, violence, and anti-social behaviour. He said, too, that the move showed that the association has recognised its social responsibility towards the community.
The minister also underscored the importance of the work done by the psychiatric nursing aides and pledged Government's commitment to revamping mental health care in the island.
"Psychiatric nursing aides are critical to the delivery of mental health care as we embark on fine-tuning and implementing a 21st century mental health service in Jamaica." In the meantime, guest speaker Desmine Kennedy, chief education officer at the Ministry of Education, said that the Government is fully aware of the shortcomings of the education system but that it remained committed to its continued improvement.
"The ministry of education recognises the importance of investment in our nation's children; we are devoting significant resources to ensure that we get it right – right from the start," she said. "Life chances depend significantly on the quality of instruction and preparation that we give our children."
However, she said parents should be mindful of the role that they too must play in their children's success and never forget to support them along the way.
To the awardees, she said: "You have proven to yourselves that success is attainable with hard work. I implore you to continue to excel with confidence and maintain your focus."
The boys thanked the association and said its intervention has motivated them.
"I was surprised. I wasn't expecting this, but I am happy," Smith said.
Martin, for his part, said: "I am happy and I will use it very well."


text: I really didn't expect too much from this. The guys look like second hand HIM clones and the label Candlelight, though usually good, is pretty much a black metal label. What a surprise when I put this on! It seemed the Sabbath was reborn! Crunchy, buzzing guitar and bass with lyrics about the devil and suffering…but not "evil". If you're a fan of Sabbath (you'd better be!) check out the samples of this and be blown away. Personal favorites: If Wishes Were Horses and Queen Of Bees.

Get ready Devils fans. Get ready to hear it. About what a joke franchise we are. We cant fill our building. We have no fans. How there is just no way we can beat the powerhouse Rangers.
I have heard this for years. But this year will be different. While watching the Capitals Rangers game 7, I thought like most fans, the Rangers would be waiting for us in round 3. That means a blueshirt invasion at the Rock. Loudmouth New Yorkers. They'll be drunk, there will be fights, and a massive media microscope on this series, as it is a bigger attraction then the WCF.
Winning in the playoff is great. Beating New York makes it epic, The same goes for losing. There is an extra pain to losing to your most hated rivals. Jeering and taunts. Not to mention we would have to potentially see a Rangers cup. Its like a solar eclipse. It comes around every 70 years or so, but when it does you hear about it.
How do the Devils win? Who needs to step up? After the jump well figure all this out.
Lets go
- Pace- The Rangers play five D men. They play 3 of them huge minutes. Ryan McDonagh, Mark Staal, and Dan Girardi are on the ice more then they are not. This will catch up to them. The Devils need to roll four lines, not play the Dale Hunter line matching game. It needs to be up tempo. Use that week of rest to your advantage. Old time hockey. Eddie Shore!
- Paging Mr Elias- Patty is after Randy McKay and Marty as my favorite Devil and his decade+ of consistent play makes it hard to criticize him but we need more from Elias. The Rangers cant score like the Devils can.If Elias is on his game, Tortorellas face gets that much redder, and it becomes that much harder to contain the offense.
- Forecheck- We unleashed on the Flyers, a hellish forecheck they could not deal with. This needs to continue in spades. This will only tire the Rangers D, and when there not diving all over the ice, will be on the boards. PDB has gained my trust and i dont see him abandoning what got him here.
- Marty be Marty- At this point in their respective careers, the Rangers have the advantage in goal. Its true. Sad but true. We dont need Martin to hold the Rangers to 7 goals in 5 games. It be nice but he isnt that guy anymore. What he still can and needs to do, is play the puck, smartly and often. Even with the ridiculous trapezoid, the man many see as the best to play the nets can still dissect opposing forechecks easily. ( This is what i believe we will miss the most in the post Marty years) He needs to eliminate any chance the Rangers have of a dump and chase game. They already know they cant score at a good clip, so keep putting doubt in there minds. Nothing easy.
- Give Zajac big minutes- I believe should we get to the promise land, Mr Zajac will be handed the MVP. He has had a great playoffs and is one of our few faceoff guys that win at a good clip. He missed a big chunk of the year with injury, so now is the time to put the pedal on the ground. Give him 22 mins a night +. He is one of the reasons we have gotten here, and unlike Kovy, he is very rarely a defensive liability. Let him get it done. Trust in Zajac and let him show the whole NHL that he is a top line talent. He can be the vital part of winning, because you know as we speak, Red face angry hockey dad ( Torts) is telling his team to contain Kovy and Zach. Lets show them why they cant run with us, DEPTH
Thats all i got so what do you guys think?

Japanese Writing Systems
The Japanese writing system is totally different from English, because it does not use an alphabet. It may be the most difficult part of Japanese to learn, but I think it is also fun and interesting. There are three different types of writing scripts in Japanese.
One writes Japanese using a combination of all three. Roughly speaking, kanji represents blocks of meaning (nouns, stems of adjectives and verbs) and hiragana expresses the grammatical relationship between them (endings of adjectives and verbs, particles). Katakana is used for foreign names, the names of foreign places and words of foreign origin. My article, "Katakana in the Matrix" shows you how kanji, hiragana and katakana are used in a sentence.
If you want to learn Japanese writing, start with hiragana and katakana, then kanji. Hiragana and katakana are simpler than kanji, and have only 46 characters each. It is possible to write an entire Japanese sentence in hiragana. For example, many children's books are written in hiragana only. Japanese children start to read and write in hiragana before making an attempt to learn some of the two thousand kanji commonly used.

False labor has been associated with the Braxton Hicks contractions, which during the last few weeks of pregnancy become more rhythmic and appearing much more frequently as true labor approaches. The period when the Braxton Hicks contractions appear is called the pre-labor, the period of time in which the cervix is gradually stretched and softened in preparation for the delivery.
When Braxton Hicks contractions begin to arrive more frequently, causing pain in the lower abdomen, this phase is described as "false labor". From the outside, the fact that this is not true labor can be determined when the contractions are irregular over time and eventually stop, while the cervix remains unchanged.
True labor is characterized by very uncomfortable or painful contractions, but these are regular and rhythmic, increasing until the labor stage is reached. In many countries, doctors advise women to go to the maternity ward once their contractions last for about a minute every 10 or 15 minutes.
At the maternity ward, a woman will be asked about how much time there is between contractions, examining the cervix internally to discover if a change has occurred. When true labor is close, the cervix starts to open and thinning out, moving into line with the birth canal, and the woman has to be prepared to give birth.
Feeling some contractions does not mean that your labor has begun yet. There are signs and symptoms that help you to identify the difference between false and true labor, just pay attention to them.
False labor is characterized by Braxton Hicks contractions occurring at irregular intervals, sometimes with some periods of regularity, but never becoming any stronger, and the intervals between contractions remain always the same. Braxton Hicks may go away after changing your activity, and the cervix has not begun to dilate or thin out (efface).
During false labor, membranes or the so-called bag of waters is not ruptured, and relaxation, sedation, or any other change in your activity changes the pattern of such contractions, or stops them completely.
True labor begins with contractions occurring at regular intervals that become stronger as the intervals between them gradually shorten. Sometimes contractions may start in the back and from there radiate around to the abdomen, while you may feel back pain and/or menstrual-type cramping instead of a real contraction.
Contractions during true labor will intensify when walking and does not go away when you change your activity. It is normal to notice a mucousy or blood-tinged discharge (Bloody show). Bag of waters (membranes) may rupture. Cervix begins to dilate and thin out (efface) so the baby's head begins to descend into the birth canal.
During true labor, contractions can be slowed down with medication, but will not stop. The best way to find out if you are in false or true labor, is asking your doctor or health care provider.

The email, reportedly sent by an unnamed student in the Phi Kappa Tau chapter at Georgia Tech, details "how to mack and succeed at parties" by getting girls intoxicated and dancing with them. You can read the full email at Total Frat Move.
The AJC reports that the fraternity has placed itself on probation and suspended the member accused of sending the email.
In a statement to the paper, Georgia Tech said:
Georgia Tech is aware of this incident, and its Office of Student Integrity is currently engaged in an investigation to determine the facts. Phi Kappa Tau's national office, as well as Tech's student-led Interfraternity Council, are also reviewing the matter to determine whether to take any independent action. The Institute does not condone this type of behavior and continues to provide resources and education designed to create a supportive campus environment for all students, even those who exercise extremely poor judgment.
Phi Kappa Tau's national office also released a statement, saying, "The referenced email is extremely inappropriate and does not reflect the values of the Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity, Alpha Rho chapter or Georgia Institute of Technology."

We are still luxuriating in the warmth of one of Cooperstown's finest summers.
Our memories will have to hold us through the winter months, or perhaps that is our excuse for lingering over picnics on the patio and sipping our special mix of lemonade and iced tea while sitting on the porches in the afternoon.
It was just such a day on Aug. 17 when we were visited by two new medical students from Bassett Medical Center. They were eager to meet us and we shared our stories as they sampled a day at our gracious home.
They met several of the residents, taking time to see their rooms and learn about their lives, their dreams, and what they value most.
On Aug. 19 we had a special surprise activity hosted by Janet Saporito. Janet invited a few of her friends to join us on the porch. The resident's smiles and laughter were all the thanks needed by our furry friends. We would like to thank Janet and Sophie (shar-pei puppy), Fred Werkmeister and Mia (bulldog), Celeste Gray and King Arthur (chow mix), Sandy Gray and Jake (standard poodle), Linda Hotchkiss and Mae (border collie), Vivian Beckmann and Socrates (Australian shepherd), Rosemary Throssel and Nena (Rodesian ridgeback), Eric Mazarak and Morgan (beagle/collie mix), Kimala Clark and Saydee (laborador retriever) and Cindy Ploutz and Mason (Labrador retriever).
The dogs were all very calm, well behaved, affectionate, and they brought much joy to residents and staff alike.
Nancy Rackmyer LPN led the Birdwatcher's meeting on Aug. 19 with Wanda Noyes, Dottie Bly, Peg Hage, Jeanette Hansen, Bobbie Mook, and Art Laidlaw.
They read several articles and discussed the mocking bird and European starling. They also discussed the return of the Puffins to the coastline of Maine, thanks to work by biologist Steven Kress.
Our exercise classes continue to grow in popularity along with our relaxation and meditation sessions on Fridays. Activity is important, especially to allow us to continue our quest for the best ice cream in Cooperstown. Dottie Bly, Jeanette Hansen, Pat DeBaun and Melissa Bard, personal care staff, went to Jerry's Place and enjoyed their many flavors of ice cream!
We had a sing-along on Aug. 25 with Art and Natalie Laidlaw, Ellen Hankin, Fannie Navarra, Frank Rollins, Hilde Parr, Leon Rathbun, Peg Hage, Ralph Veenema, Wally Pickhardt, Wanda Noyes, Carol Affourtit (personal care), Judy Pooler (personal care), Frank Miller (Facility Manager) and his daughter Lauren, and Administrator, Laurie Blatt. We all enjoyed singing the songs of the 40s and 50s.
Janet Saporito shared some humorous laughlines with Ellen Hankin, Fannie Navarra, Hilde Parr, Martha Quinn, Maureen Micek, Pat De- Baun, and Wanda Noyes. On Thursday, Aug. 26 we enjoyed afternoon tea and sweets in the Dining Alcove with a lively discussion of summertime rituals, including husking corn.
The Eden Thanksgiving Circle was led by Laurie Blatt on Friday, Aug. 27. We discussed the Eden Principle of creating a human habitat where life revolves around close relationships with each other, children, animals and plants to make a life worth living.
We divided the group into five teams of residents and staff.
The teams created posters of their vision of the Home, including the importance of relationships with caregivers, family, and friends, images of gardens, pets, children, music, art, exercise, health, and other valued aspects of our shared journey.
The posters were presented by each team as beautiful collages depicting the joys and treasures of life at the Clara Welch Thanksgiving Home.
``Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed.'' — Storm Jameson
Home Notes
Home Notes: Residents enjoyed a great summer at the Home
We are still luxuriating in the warmth of one of Cooperstown's finest summers.
- Home Notes
- April activities fool many as spring comes, goes There were many April fool jokes played here at Clara Welch Thanksgiving Home on April 1. Some of us found our door name plates turned upside down or swapped with one from another door and furniture and objects were mysteriously moved around in our rooms. The dining room was completely transformed from its usual formal setting into a hodpodge of mismatched china and … horrors, plastic tablecloths and paper napkins. Each table was decorated with a different theme, Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Easter. Christmas carols played in the background. We suspect that Dee Bouck, of Personal Care and John Santello, Activities Director, were mainly responsible for this mayhem.
- Pete Rose on deck for TLC The man known to legions of baseball fans as Charlie Hustle still isn't being considered for induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
- Holiday celebrations have begun We have decked the halls of the home with garland, the greenhouses delivered a magnificent wreath for the door and the largest poinsettias we've ever seen, with pristine white cyclamen to accent the tables.
- Home welcomes new residents We honored our residents who are veterans on Veterans Day, including Alberta Bowes, Bill Bowes, Janet Gorman, Art Laidlaw, Wally Pickhardt, Ralph Veenema and Grace Welsh. It is wonderful to have so many residents who served our country.
Summer has been busy at the home
In the spring we held a workshop to create a shared vision of a summer program that would provide meaningful and enriching experiences. Residents and staff partnered to brainstorm creative ideas, then a planning committee of residents and staff worked out the details to organize and schedule the events from June through August. We've had many enjoyable and actionpacked days, and our journey will continue in August.
Home Notes: Celebrations abound at the Thanksgiving Home
April was a month of celebrations and much to appreciate. We had a 90th birthday celebration for Wanda Noyes on April 4 including her family and friends. Personal care staff Dee Bouck worked with residents to hand paint Easter eggs for the tree in the activity room.
Home Notes: Workshops held for Thanksgiving Home residents
We welcomed Linda Keller, Ph.D. of the Bassett Research Institute and Ida Baker of NYCAMH who presented a six-week workshop for residents and staff.
Home Notes: Residents enjoy harvest dinner
The month of October was absolutely GOURD-geous at The Thanksgiving Home. We started off the month with a beautiful and festive harvest dinner for both staff and residents. As one big family, we sat around warm plates of turkey, fluffy mashed potatoes, delicious corn casserole and fresh rolls.
Home Notes: Many surprises, much fun in September
"Rainbows apologize for angry skies." -- Sylvia Voirol
The month of September began on a damp note at the home. The rains of Hurricane Irene, flooded basements andwashed out roadways making it impossible for some staff to get to work during their scheduled times. Thank you to all who helped cover for each other during the rains!
Home Notes: August is opera season
"Like a welcome summer rain, humor may suddenly cleanse and cool the earth, the air and you." - Langston Hughes There is a never a shortage of humor at the Thanksgiving Home, andAugust was no different.

Factor Farms:A quality herbal product starts with the highest quality fresh organic plant material. The efficacy of herbal products has always been affected by growing conditions, harvesting, processing and storage. At Factor Farms in beautiful Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada our quality can be guaranteed as we control the entire process from seedling to finished product.
To grow herbs organically no chemical fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides or pesticides are allowed. We use only natural substances that have been approved by the organic industry. You can be assured that the fresh herb extracts contain no traces of unwanted chemical. Even the seed and plant sources are organic.
To be organically certified, certification inspectors work closely with growers to ensure that the organic standards are adhered to. We must keep detailed records of what we use on our farm. Even after harvest, processing is regulated so that no harmful chemicals are used to manufacture the fresh herb extracts. Local cultivation of medicinal herbs at Factors Farms ensures that the herbs are picked, processed, and extracted at just the right time when the active ingredients are at their peak.
Natural Factor knows that the natural habitats of many herbs are shrinking and that over-harvesting from the wild can endanger native medicinal plant populations. So organic cultivation of herbs is preferred over "wild crafting".

"We have no problem with running as long as we have a high rate of success," said Riccardi [sic]. "I still think we're going to value those 27 outs. Obviously, in the National League, pitchers have to bunt, but I also think Earl Weaver was right a long time ago when he said that if you play for one run, you get one run."Excerpted from John Harper's piece in the Daily News about J.P. Ricciardi.
With all their question marks in the outfield, they need someone who can give Jerry Manuel more lineup flexibility. The perfect player for the Mets is Bergen Catholic product Mark DeRosa, whom the Cleveland Indians will begin shopping any day, if they haven't already. DeRosa, who can play first, second, third and the corner outfield positions, is a manager's dream (especially in these injury-plagued circumstances) and the kind of a player the Mets would want to re-sign for next year. No matter what, Minaya is probably going to have to sacrifice a couple of second-tier prospects, like last year's No. 1 draft pick, power-hitting shortstop Reese Havens or righthander Jenry Mejia, both at Single-A St. Lucie, but it's something he has to do. The alternative is to raise the white flag to a fan base that was counting on games beyond September that they didn't get at Shea the last two years.Hopefully Minaya doesn't read the Daily News.
