With GlobalFoundries' arrival, the chance of a call for hazardous materials emergency is increased, said Shaw, but the department does receive a handful of similar calls throughout the year.
"We don't get a lot of calls for this most of the time they're due to motor vehicle accidents, there may be a fuel spill every once in awhile or we may get an accident that comes from commercial transport, a tanker truck or box trailer," said Shaw.
No matter how often one of those calls comes in, though, they're always taken seriously.
"It's one of those low frequency, high risk type of calls that we go on," said Shaw. "We have to concentrate and be prepared for those things ahead of time."
The department was already working with GlobalFoundries to secure a plan for responding before the grant came through.
"We're in very frequent pre-planning sessions with [GlobalFoundries] trying to develop some type of interface between their on-site information and information that possibly we can access once we get on site," said Shaw.
Shaw said GlobalFoundries is developing a way for the fire department to access the company's internal technical information from off-site.

The amount of blood doesn't sound like something to worry about too much, but just to be safe, I think it would warrent a quick call or visit to the doctor. There's possibly minor tears. Also, the hymen can grow back. Rather be safe than sorry.
I am 25 years old and I have a problem which has been worrying me. I lost my virginity when I was 21 to a guy I was living with. We were together for 18months and we had a very active and satisfactory sex life. Since I broke up with him I never indulged in sex with any other guy until recently. I had sex with a guy 2 weeks ago almost after 3 years (last time I had sex was July 2009). While doing it we realized, my vagina was bleeding, however we ignored it. We did it again and it bled again. After it was over, I went online and checked if this was normal. I discovered, a lot of women have this problem if having sex after a long time so I ignored it. But now the problem is we had sex again yesterday 4 times and each time we did it, there was bleeding. By bleeding I don't mean full on blood dripping, I mean there is blood on condom every time he penetrates. After sex wen I pee there is no blood I see. I am very worried as I dont think it is normal. Please tell me what could possibly be wrong? Do u think I should consult a doctor?

Are you using enough lubrication? Any number of things could be different from your previous situation that could cause you to bleed. Your vagina may be more sensitive, you may not self lubricate as much as before (maybe due to age or excitement level), he may be larger, he may be longer and getting into a more sensitive area of your vagina, the condom may not be lubricated enough or you may not be compatible with the lubrication among other possibilities.
I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience.
Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?

I get it quite often, minor tears from not using lube or not stretching myself out enough for penetration will result in some faint blood. If my bf or I do not use fingers ahead of time to loosen things up it becomes very tight and hurts no matter how much lubrication there is. The other possibility is that your bf is hitting your cervix sometimes when that happens a small amount of blood can occur.

The Stockpile Stewardship Charade
The U.S. program to maintain the reliability of the nuclear arsenal is masking an effort to design new nuclear weapons.
By signing the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) in 1968, the United States promised to pursue good-faith negotiations "leading to cessation of the nuclear arms race at an early date and to nuclear disarmament." Instead of abiding by this promise, the United States has undertaken a "stockpile stewardship" program that is primarily aimed at subverting both parts of this commitment. More than half of the Department of Energy's (DOE's) proposed $4.53 billion FY 2000 stockpile stewardship budget would be spent on nuclear weapons design-related research, on basic nuclear weapons physics research that goes far beyond the needs of maintaining the existing stockpile, and on nuclear weapons production programs. Mixed into the current stockpile stewardship budget are not just programs to monitor and maintain our nuclear stockpile but also jobs programs for the nuclear weapons labs and production facilities. The budget also reflects programmatic responses to ideology and paranoia stemming from fears that Russia will secretly break out of any nuclear arms agreement or that the United States will be less of a superpower without nuclear arms. It is time to separate the programs required for genuine stewardship from those directed toward other ends.
By reducing nuclear forces to START II levels and removing unnecessary parts of the stockpile stewardship program, the United States could save about $2.6 billion per year while substantially reducing Department of Defense (DOD) strategic weapons costs. No significant change in defense policy would be needed, just the cutting of a number of controversial programs whose justification is weak and whose funding depends on their inclusion in the amorphous program that has become stockpile stewardship. The cuts we suggest would be an important first step in restoring some rigor to the stewardship program while simultaneously removing parts of it that could trigger another nuclear arms race with its attendant costs and dangers.
Political payoff
In 1992, the United States began a nuclear testing moratorium that foes and supporters alike thought might be a precursor to a Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). With no way to test their designs, the three nuclear weapons laboratories-Los Alamos National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California-faced a sudden lack of demand for their services. Elsewhere in the DOE weapons production complex, the absence of new work, together with reductions in the numbers of deployed weapons, led to an initial phase of consolidation and downsizing. The Nevada Test Site also had no immediate mission and was threatened with eventual closure.
These facilities had two options to avoid significant downsizing or shutdown: embrace conversion to civilian missions, with uncertain prospects for success, or develop and sell a new rationale for their old mission. DOE, the facilities, and their congressional champions chose the latter course, devising the stockpile stewardship program.
Little about the program was conceived on the basis of strictly technical requirements. With its scale and scope both directed toward continued nuclear weapons development and design, its creation essentially constituted a political payoff aimed at ending decades of successful resistance to a CTBT by the nuclear labs. The stewardship program provided the labs with guaranteed growth in funding and long-term employment stability. New and entirely artificial technological "challenges" that had no technical connection with maintaining nuclear weapons were created to rationalize this new policy. Maintaining the vitality of this large enterprise became a goal in itself.
Meanwhile, DOE's public rationale for the program stressed the need to monitor the existing nuclear weapons stockpile and precisely predict age-related weapons problems. It was assumed that problems would require weapons redesign and certification of the new designs without nuclear testing.
Genuine stewardship should instead be defined as curatorship of the existing stockpile coupled with limited remanufacturing to solve any problems that might be discovered. Although few would argue with such a practical program, the preferences in DOE's budgets are instead for activities that provide, according to DOE, for "preproduction design and engineering activities including initial design and development of all new weapon designs...the design and development of weapon modifications...studies and research to apply basic science to weapon problems producing new technologies...[and] re-instituting the war reserve pit production capability that has not existed since production activities ceased at the Rocky Flats Plant."
Much of this work is directed at designing new or modified weapons in the absence of any safety or reliability problems in the existing arsenal or toward developing the capability to do so in the near future. With a reasonable curatorship and remanufacturing approach, there would be no need for huge new weapons science programs, just as there is no need to modify weapons and design new ones. Thus, substantial savings are possible in this part of the budget without affecting the legitimate aspects of stockpile stewardship.
By 1995, the test ban had become one of the formal promises made by the nuclear weapon states in their successful bid to indefinitely renew the NPT. Thus, any failure to achieve a CTBT would for the first time directly threaten the survival of the world's nonproliferation regime. Without the substantial payoffs represented by the stockpile stewardship program, the labs would likely be able to undercut the treaty as they had done in the past. Their acquiescence was bought behind closed doors with a 10-year promise of $4.5 billion annually for the nuclear labs and plants.
The CTBT was signed in 1996; its ratification is still pending and uncertain. But the agreement with the labs reversed an eight-year decline in lab budgets. Since then, as budgets have increased, the stewardship program has drained the arms control content from the treaty by providing the impetus and funding for what arguably will soon be far greater design capabilities than existed before the treaty was signed.
The $4.5 billion price tag was a substantial increase over average Cold War funding levels for comparable activities. This increase was possible because policymakers heard no knowledgeable peer review of the program, elected representatives from states with nuclear facilities held leadership roles on key committees in both houses of Congress, and nongovernmental arms controllers largely tolerated the bargain in order to win support for the CTBT.
Originally, the stewardship program was centered almost completely at the labs. But three remaining production plants-the Savannah River Site in South Carolina, the Kansas City Plant in Missouri, and the Y-12 Plant in Tennessee-quickly joined in to help broaden the program. For them, as for the labs, the stockpile stewardship program provides workforce stability and new capital investment. DOE had realized that without congressional support from states with production plants, it might not be possible to fund the entire program in the out-years or to deflect criticism from the nuclear weapons enterprise as a whole. Said one knowledgeable insider: "DOE realized that by themselves the labs could not pull the train."
Our detailed review shows that even if a very large nuclear arsenal were to be retained, over half the stockpile stewardship budget could be saved or redirected. This view is not new; U.S. Rep. George Brown (D-Calif.), then chair of the House Science Committee, made a similar proposal to DOE in 1992. Since then, many nongovernmental organizations and a few individuals within the weapons establishment itself have expressed similar views. This school of thought is now quietly accepted in many more quarters than one might imagine. As a Democratic Senate staffer told one of us, "Yes, the budget for NTS (Nevada Test Site) and the National Ignition Facility should be zero, but this senator is not going to get in the way of the CTBT."
How DOE justifies the program
The primary technical justification for the excess costs in DOE's program is the agency's attempt to create the capability to design and certify new weapons without nuclear testing. Yet the idea that nuclear deterrence requires new weapons is on its face implausible. There is also growing recognition that by continuing the nuclear arms race virtually alone, the United States will suffer significant political, economic, and military costs.
Why? Because the program as currently conceived and implemented provides many opportunities for the proliferation of detailed nuclear weapons knowledge. Its direction, scale, and scope substantially undercut U.S. compliance with the NPT's disarmament obligations. And its programs to refine the military capabilities of nuclear weapons systems violate the intent, if not in some cases the letter, of the CTBT itself. Already, India has cited the U.S. program as one justification for its own nuclear testing, and certain aspects of the program have been condemned in international forums, such as the European Parliament. Thus, dollar savings may be the smallest part of the benefits of right-sizing the stockpile stewardship budget.
Further, the untestable nuclear innovations expected to enter the stockpile as a result of the program are almost certain to undercut rather than maintain confidence in the U.S. stockpile. Such a result would serve to perpetuate the funding and influence of the labs and the production complex and would further the desires of those who support conducting underground nuclear tests to confirm weapons designs. To put it bluntly, the program is designed to undercut objective measures of reliability in favor of a subjective level of confidence that is the exclusive property of the weapons labs themselves, giving them an unprecedented grip on the levers of U.S. nuclear weapons policy.
DOE's FY 2000 budget request for "Weapons Activities," a $4.53-billion budget category that includes stockpile stewardship, program direction, and related expenses, would be $1.3 billion more than the FY 1995 appropriation of $3.2 billion, the post-Cold War low for nuclear weapons activities. By comparison, the Cold War-era annual average for roughly comparable activities was about $4 billion in 1999 dollars, and that figure also included waste management expenses that are not included in the stewardship budget today.
In theory, the stewardship budget is divided into many discrete funding lines. But in practice, at least at the laboratories, a variety of mechanisms are used to blur budget distinctions, a process aided by the vague funding line descriptions that DOE increasingly offers to congressional reviewers-for example, hundreds of millions of dollars at Los Alamos to "maintain infrastructure and plant." In addition, special-access "black" programs lie hidden in DOE's budget in vague or unrelated descriptions and commitments.
Some aspects of the stockpile stewardship mission are clearly necessary. For example, maintaining the existing stockpile and retaining a sufficient level of remanufacturing capability are preserved in the Enhanced Surveillance and parts of the Core Stockpile Management areas of the program's budget. However, the labs in particular have expanded most of the rest of the program into a funding source for a renewed design and production complex that will soon be able to make entirely new kinds of nuclear weapons as well as rapidly reconstitute a large arsenal. Much of this part of the stewardship program is simply a new name for the old "flywheel" programs at the labs: major weapons research activities so generously funded that they could support other research programs. These programs kept employment and activity levels high throughout the Cold War. Ten years after the end of the Cold War, unaccountable nuclear flywheel programs are both unnecessary and undesirable.
Today's stewardship program consumes vast resources without the debates and budget transparency that should accompany spending of this magnitude. This same political climate has also drained funding from the cleanup of DOE's decommissioned nuclear sites. Lack of debate is also forcing DOD to spend a significant amount of money on weapons it cannot use and that must soon be retired.
Realities of stewardship
Five realities of nuclear weapons stewardship should dictate the program's budget. First, after reviewing extensive historical and analytical data, the JASONS, DOE's top experts, concluded that all primaries (the fission stage of nuclear weapons, usually composed of a plutonium pit, neutron reflectors, and high explosives) in U.S. warheads are not only highly reliable now but will remain so for the foreseeable future through continuance of the existing surveillance programs and, if necessary, the reuse of spare plutonium pits. Current stockpile stewardship projects that would modify existing primaries will, if allowed to proceed, undercut this high level of confidence. Ultimate pit life is uncertain, but extensive studies conducted in the United States and elsewhere indicate that it is at least a half century. Current surveillance techniques will, according to DOE, uncover problems at least five years before a failure occurs.
Second, almost no reliability problems have been detected in the secondaries (the sealed components of a nuclear weapon that contains stable materials such as lithium hydride and uranium) needed for a thermonuclear explosion. No change is anticipated in this situation.
Third, all nuclear weapons components except the primaries and secondaries can be fully tested without detonation. Any problems that have occurred have always been fixed and can still be fixed using existing knowledge and DOE's capacity for remanufacturing, independent of the test ban.
Fourth, no nuclear safety risks have arisen or can arise because of the aging of pits and secondaries, because the materials involved are extremely stable.
Fifth, although testing was used to maintain the reliability of U.S. weapons before 1992, the labs, according to recently declassified information, considered reliability testing of stockpiled weapons unnecessary. Why, then, would a substitute system have to be devised today, unless its purpose was to design new nuclear weapons?
In addition to these facts, we believe that with or without START II, economic realities in the United States and Russia will drive the total deployed stockpile sizes to about 4,500 weapons or less in both countries. This would allow the tritium (used in all modern primaries) in the decommissioned excess warheads to be reused. If the undeployable "hedge" arsenal (an additional stock of warheads retained in case Russia violates its arms reduction agreements) is also eliminated, the tritium in these warheads could also be reused. Thus, new production of tritium could be deferred for about 12 years.
Further excesses
Two cases deserve a more detailed discussion because of their scale, lack of relevance to the stockpile, and technical uncertainties: the National Ignition Facility (NIF) and the Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative (ASCI). Both illustrate the programmatic and budgetary excesses that are typical of the stockpile stewardship program.
The NIF, a huge laser inertial confinement fusion (ICF) installation being built at Lawrence Livermore, will focus large amounts of energy onto small amounts of deuterium and tritium with the aim of achieving a small fusion explosion. The NIF will cost $1.2 billion to build and $128 million annually to operate. DOE claims that the NIF is needed to retain the skilled staff necessary to ensure that U.S. nuclear weapons will be safe and reliable. It is also promoting the NIF as a valuable tool for fusion energy research.
Yet there is no clear connection between inertial confinement fusion research and maintenance of the warheads in the stockpile. The argument that extensive ultra-high-power ICF experiments are needed to exercise the skills of weapons scientists is far less relevant to maintaining existing weapons than to retaining the capability to develop new ones. As Richard Garwin wrote in the November/December 1997 issue of Arms Control Today, only a portion of the NIF "is coupled directly to the stockpile stewardship task, and much of that portion has more to do with maintaining expertise and developing capabilities that would be useful in case the CTBT regime collapsed than with maintaining the enduring stockpile of the nine existing weapon designs safely and reliably for the indefinite future."
ICF facilities can be used in combination with other fusion research facilities to increase knowledge relevant to new types of nuclear weapons, including weapons that could lead to dangerous new arms races. For example, "pure" fusion weapon research, aimed at achieving a nuclear explosion without the use of plutonium or uranium, is now being actively pursued.
A vigorous ICF program also poses proliferation risks. ICF capability almost inevitably implies technical competence in many if not most aspects of nuclear weapons design. Knowledge about sophisticated ICF programs could be diffused through scientific publications and contacts and assistance from the U.S. labs themselves, thus expanding the number of nations with the technological base for a sophisticated nuclear weapons program.
NIF may not even work. As it turns out, the definition of "ignition" has quietly been changed, and the value of the facility without ignition is now stressed. Even as construction proceeds, serious scientific and engineering hurdles remain.
The NIF, with a life-cycle cost of $5 billion, would become the nation's largest big science project, a decision that should at least require a careful balancing of its scientific value against its costs, the probability of its technical success on its own terms, and the global proliferation issues it presents. Further, we are moving ahead in the absence of a national debate about either the proliferation dangers or the ICF's relative scientific value as compared to all the other research areas for which public money could be spent.
There are no easy explanations for this national lapse in attention, although one possibility is the continued unquestioning deference paid to nuclear weapons research. Allowing the nuclear labs to make nuclear policy has always been dangerous for democracy. It is inexcusable a decade after the end of the Cold War.
DOE created ASCI five years ago to give U.S. weapon makers the capability to design and virtually test new, refined, and modified nuclear warheads. DOE has requested more than $500 million for weapons computing costs in FY 2000, and costs are expected to grow to $754 million per year by FY 2003. To what end? All of today's nuclear weapons were designed by computers that would cost perhaps $10,000 today. Existing weapon designs do not need to be changed. The labs' claim that faster, more sophisticated computers are needed to maintain existing weapons is without foundation. No amount of computing power directed at determining the precise effect of an aging or cracked component will provide more confidence than simply replacing that component.
In 1992, a time of active nuclear weapons design and testing involving all three laboratories, the total number of weapons-related calculations was about five giga-operation years, equivalent to about five CRAY-YMP supercomputers running for a year. By FY 1999, the number of weapons-related calculations had increased by a factor of 1,400. In Explosive Alliances, an exposé of the ASCI program, Chris Paine and Matt McKinzie of the Natural Resources Defense Council argued that "DOE's strategy...us[es] ...test-qualified personnel in...a crash program to develop and validate new three dimensional simulation capabilities...[that] DOE hopes a new generation of U.S. designers-but no one else-will employ, ostensibly to optimize requirements for remanufacture...but more plausibly to implement future changes in nuclear explosive packages of stockpile weapons."
DOE's public justification for ASCI is based on the carefully crafted untruth that, as one senior weapons manager put it, "without ASCI, bombs will not work." DOE has adequate certification data on its current arsenal of weapons. More testing, real or virtual, would be necessary only if designs were changed or new weapons were developed. Even if ASCI were important, DOE's program already includes a triply redundant architecture, with individual state-of-the-art supercomputers for all three labs. And it aims at integrating production plants with the labs through computer-designed, just-in-time manufacturing techniques to produce newly designed nuclear weapon components and to allow on-demand production of "special" weapons.
None of these activities is required to maintain nuclear weapons that are already designed, tested, and certified. Existing computing resources can easily support the maintenance and continued certification of the nuclear arsenal. A new computing technology development and acquisition effort in combination with other new nuclear weapons experimental facilities creates a research complex that is far better suited to design and modify nuclear weapons than to maintain them.
Huge potential savings
U.S. national security is better served by preventing breakthroughs in nuclear weapons science than by fostering them. New weapons know-how will proliferate if developed. But if no new weapons are needed, current designs can be conserved by a relatively small scientific staff. Programs or technologies relevant only to new weapons design or to unneeded modifications, including those with new military capabilities, can then be cut. For the most part, only those programs and facilities needed for current modes of surveillance, assessment, simulation, and certification of existing warhead types should be maintained.
By relying mainly on surveillance and remanufacturing of existing warhead designs and using original production processes wherever possible, a savings of about $2.6 billion could be realized in the current budget. We call this our Option A. Our calculations, which can only be outlined here, include a considerable margin of error by providing funding for a broader range of nuclear weapons experimental facilities than we believe are necessary for maintaining the existing arsenal. For example, because a large reduction in the stockpile size would likely lead to the closing of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the remaining labs could be faced with additional infrastructure and capital costs. As a result, we have retained $40 million in general capital expenditures, despite the fact that the DOE budget request provides no explanation or detail for this expenditure. In addition, we conservatively assume that our Option B stockpile retains six of the nine weapon types in the Option A stockpile, despite a nearly 10-fold decrease in assumed stockpile size. And we have retained a limited number of hydrotests (experiments for studying mockups of nuclear weapon primaries during implosion) in order to maintain skill levels at Los Alamos National Laboratory, even though hydrotests are not necessary for certifying weapons already in the stockpile.
In addition to DOE costs associated with unnecessary parts of the stockpile stewardship program, the U.S. failure to abide by the NPT or even to reduce the strategic nuclear arsenal below START I levels has been very expensive for the Pentagon. Under our Option A, significant amounts of the $16 billion strategic nuclear weapons budget could be avoided if the United States simply reduced its arsenal to the number of warheads allowed under Start II. Further substantial savings to DOD's budget could be realized under our Options B and C, in which larger reductions in warhead levels would allow much greater budget reductions.
Option A: In addition to the $2.6 billion per year that could be saved by removing unnecessary parts of the stewardship program, reducing U.S. nuclear forces to START II levels could save taxpayers at least $800 million annually by 2003. The United States would still retain all 200 strategic bombers currently in service; 500 land-based missiles [intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs)]; and 10 Trident submarines, while retiring four Trident submarines ($700 million per year) and 50 ICBMs ($100 million per year.)
Option B: If the United States assumed long-term maintenance of an arsenal of 350 to 1,000 weapons, it could further cut DOE programs to take into account both a smaller absolute number of warheads and fewer warhead types, changes that reduce requirements for surveillance, evaluation, and remanufacturing capacity. Total stewardship program savings would be $2.8 billion per year. This level of warheads would allow the United States to retire all of its ICBMs while retaining 100 bombers and six Trident submarines. At a level of about 500 warheads, DOD would save about $4.9 billion per year. Further, if the United States were to cut the number of warheads to 350 and eliminate strategic bombers, DOD would save about $7.1 billion per year, although DOE's savings would remain at $2.8 billion per year.
Option C: If all nuclear weapons could be eliminated by 2015, aging issues would be unlikely to present significant problems, and ample supplies of most weapons components and materials, including tritium, would be available to sustain a rapidly diminishing arsenal. DOE would save about $3 billion per year. DOD would retain surveillance missions and programs related to treaty verification. Its total savings would be about $12 billion per year. The budgetary impacts of these four options are summarized in Table 1.

The savings possible from any of the scenarios suggested here are substantial. With the exception of eliminating all warheads, none of these options need involve any significant change in the security posture or policies of the United States. Although we believe that significant changes in nuclear posture, leading to the mutual and complete nuclear disarmament that our NPT treaty obligations require, would indeed be in our security interests, we have not discussed such changes here. Dropping to START II levels simply captures the economies that already exist. In fact, dropping to a 500-warhead level still retains a full nuclear deterrent, albeit at a lower level of mutual threat between the United States and its only nuclear rival, Russia, whose strategic arsenal is already rapidly declining to about these levels.
The debate our nation needs is one in which the marginal costs of excessive nuclear programs, as shown here, are compared with the considerable opportunity costs these funds represent, both in security programs and elsewhere. Nuclear weapon programs have received only cursory examination since the Cold War. We believe that by any reasonable measure, the benefits of these programs are now far exceeded by their costs, if indeed they have any benefits at all.

Arian Foster has been impressive in OTAs. He is looking forward to an increased role this year and getting the opportunity to get more carries on offense. He is making people miss in practice and he is motivated according to Brian T Smith. With Ben Tate gone, Foster will be trusted upon to take more carries for the team.
The biggest question for Foster and the Houston Texans is if he will be able to last the whole season as the team's lead back. Foster has had durability concerns in the past. He has to stay healthy for this offense.
The offense doesn't have a star quarterback to push the offense down the field and they will rely on the running game and defense more in order to win games. Foster will haev a lot of responsibility on his back. If he can't stay healthy, then the offense is really going to struggle to get things together.

Pablo Neruda Quotes & Sayings
Over your breasts of motionless current,over your legs of firmness and water,over the permanence and the prideof your naked hairI want to be, my love, now that the tears arethrowninto the raucous baskets where they accumulate,I want to be, my love, alone with a syllableof mangled silver, alone with a tip of your breast of snow.
At night I dream that you and I are two plantsthat grew together, roots entwined,and that you know the earth and the rain like my mouth,since we are made of earth and rain.
I have named you queen.There are taller than you, taller.There are purer than you, purer.There are lovelier than you, lovelier.But you are the queen.When you go through the streetsNo one recognizes you.No one sees your crystal crown, no one looksAt the carpet of red goldThat you tread as you pass,The nonexistent carpet.And when you appearAll the rivers soundIn my body, bellsShake the sky,And a hymn fills the world.Only you and I,Only you and I, my love,Listen to it.
Maybe someone will know I didn't weave crowns to draw blood; that I faught against mockery; that I did fill the high tide of my soul with truth. I repaid vileness with doves.
A book, a book full of human touches, of shirts, a book without loneliness, with men and tools, a book is victory.
I learned about lifefrom life itself,love I learned in a single kissand could teach no one anythingexcept that I have livedwith something in common among men.
I am not jealousof what came before me.Come with a manon your shoulders,come with a hundred men in your hair,come with a thousand men between your breasts and your feet,come like a riverfull of drowned menwhich flows down to the wild sea,to the eternal surf, to Time!Bring them allto where I am waiting for you;we shall always be alone,we shall always be you and Ialone on earth,to start our life!
If you think it long and mad the wind of banners that passes through my lifeAnd you decide to leave me at the shore of the heart where I have rootsRememberThat on that day, at that hour, I shall lift my armsAnd my roots will set off to seek another land.
There is no insurmountable solitude. All paths lead to the same goal: to convey to others what we are. And we must pass through solitude and difficulty, isolation and silence in order to reach forth to the enchanted place where we can dance our clumsy dance and sing our sorrowful song - but in this dance or in this song there are fulfilled the most ancient rites of our conscience in the awareness of being human and of believing in a common destiny.
Escóndeme en tus brazos por esta noche sola, mientras la lluvia rompe contra el mar y la tierra su boca innumerable.Pablo Neruda · Love ·
When I see the sea againhas the sea seen me or hasnât it seen me?Why the waves ask meThe same that I ask them?And why do they hit the rockWith such a futile enthusiasm?Donât they get tired of repeatingtheir declaration to the sand?

"Be sure to keep clear." It's whispered around him,
like somehow the sound would kill if it found him.
Somewhere deep down he's got a story for his peer group,
a little light left to help the real friends steer through.
He's not a maze but there's a curve in his road,
a quick twist to his path and he can't wait til it's shown.
He knows he's no different from the average kid around the way,
but he pretends he is to give his white a little gray.
He covets the color that corners all his victim friends,
he's too boring on his own and can't fit within.
He makes a habit out of undermining sadness,
and striking back with lies ten times as tragic.
They all caught on, but they'll never let him hear.
A liar turned a pariah, "be sure to keep clear."
The text painted a picture of me. At least, I hoped it would eventually.
I needed to convince you of me - get you to see I could exist conventionally.
I'm not a head game - dead weight's not what I was meant to be,
but all my energy had me construed to be the enemy.
It's interesting, incidentally I'm not amused,
since my every letter to you added flame to the fuse,
but when it came to blow you'd run from the truth
hiding deep inside your vice mixing rum with the juice.
…I've never used you, these letters were my heart.
I can't convince you I exist, but I'm glad that I tried to start.
It wasn't me, truthfully, but it's rude to say it's you -
consider this my resignation.
Your Muse.
It's a one boy choir with a chorus so sweet.
The kid's lips are closed, but the voice is on beat.
He only knows a song, it's sung stronger every practice-
and all he's stuck on is how it sounds better backwards.
Pound out a passage, the masses crave a show-tune.
Half the bastards passing won't even claim to know you.
But sing in that voice we'll never think to put a finger on.
We'll pass you the lyrics, just be sure to mind the key you're on.
Hit the wrong notes, you'll hurt the folks here to jeer you on-
we need all your fear to turn your soul into a sing-a-long.
Sweet little man, bouncing music in his mental,
no outs or vents to counsel what he's been through.
He amounts to them and the tune just gets louder,
"No one man should have so little power."
"A man's his word." He spoke first through chapped lips.
I looked backwards, not sure he wanted words with a frat kid.
His eyes were fastened skyward, back to wall,
wanting birds behind the buildings, or sky behind the smog.
Following his gaze, I couldn't help but sigh the thought:
"The fall of nature; is it man or a God behind it all?"
"I don't give a shit." His voice as jarring as his answer,
"Idle thought is waste, kid, put that on a man's word."
He looked homeless, you'd guess the type exactly -
hair long, jeans torn, shoes worn, and shirt baggy.
Dirt gladly made canvas of his face,
but the keys around his waist made a hint he had a place.
I relented to his pace, and he spoke with a mission.
Like he'd always had this vision, but needed men to listen.
I reminded him of him, and that's the reason why he stopped me.
Abercrombie gear with a Starbucks iced coffee,
college educated, slated for a bout in business,
with no inclination on what makes a man efficient.
I said it was grades, work ethic, job loyalty.
He stopped me with a look, and a quick "more importantly…
Jobs are not people, corporations want work,
don't give allegiance to a thing you can't see when it give its word."
The tear stains felt like bullet wounds.
Gravity pulled the drops down with a painful inconsistency;
she was a gun. A revolver, first.
Few tears fell, but she held sorrow in the chamber.
We smelled of gunpowder. One hour, two; count kept til night died.
I lied, she believed, she cried, I had to leave.
She'd handed me her body, skin smooth as gunmetal.
Her heart; stuck in the barrel, since mine would never settle.
She meddled in my affairs, my mettle was less than metal.
I meditated the meaning of the meetings in my bed, though…
Stilettos on women, venom on the tongues,
Sin filling up every minute so penance would never come.
She was a Gatling gun, then.
The force with which the tears fell would shame disasters.
Each bullet carried a different promise I'd made her
and I was drowning; covered in lies I'd long forgotten.
I never knew tears were so bitter.
You spoke softly. A tone so weak,
it rivaled my confidence. I drank your words
and watched my heart sweat from your pores.
Clad to the core in my morals; I made you.
Yet, I'm intoxicated by the proof of your words,
Yours. The thoughts you created. The mind you found on your own.
The path you chose by yourself. The one that led you from me.
Watching the last of me pool at your feet… I wonder how much of you keeps me alive.
I'm wise enough to size her up, thick lips…
type to rush knights front with a quickness.
I'm listless on the outside, vicious on the in,
to win is my intention - from the game to her id.
I play with a mix of tact and past lessons,
no passive aggression, but my passion's aggressive.
The way she moves to match is impressive,
every time I push, she attacks with new leverage.
Each move's a weapon let loose in just seconds,
wars rage in the minutes, none given to get a breath in.
They pass in tens; I don't feel the time slide.
Bishops on the side, mortified by the war crimes.
It's hers or mine, the win is still set to chase…
Two lovers, and each wants to check the mate.
The man spoke in low tones with cold eyes,
he told tales of old flights and boat rides.
Most nights, his audience applauded him;
not really sure if these tales all belonged to him.
Still, they went along with them, stuck on every word.
Even though the stories were increasingly absurd.
The people, undeterred, lived for the man's stories,
giving up their lives for vicarious glory.
Some shaved off day jobs for words of the bard,
to chase lost causes in that wondrous bar.
They cast away every single piece of corporation,
while the man sold thoughts about the greatest explorations.
They vested faith in the man as he painted them pictures.
Slick words reigned in elated pretenders.
The weight of the ventures splintered jaded beginners,
because at this point… the man only catered to winners.
Each that gave up structure was the apple of his eye,
and every word he spoke, meant to satisfy their high.
At the end of this man's life, these outcasts will come together…
with the stories he once told to continue the storyteller.
Folded hands atop a bible, it's my role.
Psalms flow quick as the wine goes.
When bells and chimes toll,
bottles disappear and mass is spiteful.
Brimstone's my home, this tone they know,
but they come, they go for tales from this tome, so…
I speak the pages, reap the age when
men ruled religion and freed the nation.
Cause thought's a burden, will's the same,
why not kill a goat and displace the pain,
take the skies as places where the angels lie,
and men can fly, provide we repent and die?
You delight in my misery,
dance upon my bleeding heart.
You salt the hearth where love once bred.
You mistake the seed for salt.
Misery doesn't delight the soul,
It stands as the dance's name.
The dance?
That blessed tango of reckless abandon?
Sweet, merciful liar where have our love gone?
The steps are second nature.
Memories past call its elegance to block its name.
Lover, I dance between truths to save you their pain.
And in that moment,
That moment between half-truths,
The love we once had was engulfed in the turbulent sea.
Clear waters beneath black skies.
The steps were to stir no more than the heart.
Sinking beneath the waves, where are we now?

DOES SEX-IN-ISLAM'S JANNAH … implicates Islam as an un-HOLY religion??
How is perversion holy, good or Godly?
How is perversion relative to Jesus, who is impeccably sinless righteous selfless & good?
Interesting that Deedat says the words: beget, begotten, son are "ANIMAL ACTS"!
Does Deedat imply God procreated Jesus from SEX?
Is this why muslims assume there will be SEX in their heaven?
Can any muslim tell me where the bible says there will be sex in our heaven?
No use looking in the quran b/c Surah 5:47 states the bible judges the quran, NOT VICE-VERSA!
(Moderators comment: this is not a teaching of Islam that the bible is the criteria for judging which part of the Quran is true and which isn't. Intact Islam teaches the exact opposite)
Doesn't Islam understand that the words Deedat assumed are sexual are actually … SPIRITUAL(Rom 8:10-17) ???? If muslims believe God the father is … ALLAH, then this is what God the father in the bible refers to sex from the bible.
Tit 1:15 To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled.
Roman 8:5-9 ....carnally minded is death... 1 John 2:15,16 ...lust of the eyes...is not of the father... Galatians 5:19-21 ...fornication...shall not inherent the kingdom of God... 1 Corinthians 6:9,10 ...neither fornicators...shall inherent the Kingdom of God... Collossians 3:5,6 ...fornication...concupiscence...wrath of God....

Somehow I ran across an out-of-print book called "The Last Lap." It is now 15 years old but tells an intriguing, timeless tale of the early days of America's first stock car racers.
These colorful characters ruled the sport 30 years before I ever set foot at a track. The legend of many of those men outlived their years on earth, so I sometimes heard tales of their wild, renegade ways. Whenever we raced at Riverside International Raceway in California, someone was likely to mention Joe Weatherly. Read More»
Around the corner, out in the country where we live, is a hardware store owned by a guy I have known since the day I was born. Our bassinets were next to each other in the hospital nursery.
Down the road a piece is a dairy co-owned by a guy whose bassinet was on the other side of mine in the nursery. When I need a helping hand with a lawn mower stuck in the thicket or a pasture that needs bush hogging, I call that guy and he is Jerry-on-the-spot to help. Read More»
It happened in Memphis. A lot of history and interesting stuff occurs in that magical city that sits grandly on the Mississippi River. Elvis held court there, the blues grew up there and barbecue is queen. Elvis, of course, is still king. Read More»
The waitress set down the cup of coffee and I poured cream into the hot, black liquid while quietly reflecting, pondering something.
"Why do people lie?" I asked Tink. We know a couple of people who, as Daddy would say, "the truth's not in them." They lie about many things, big and small, consequential and not consequential. And if you have them pinned against the wall with absolute evidence of the lies, they will lie about the lies. It's baffling. Read More»
My parents told great stories. I've told you that. How they would both weave long, intriguing tales from not much of a story or one that was so good to begin with that it took little embellishment.
The good-to-begin-with story needed only a dusting of well-placed words while the not-so-good-ones-but-still-worth-telling were spruced up and shined to a fare-thee-well. My parents only introduced me to the art of storytelling, so once I graduated, I moved on to a master's program: Sports reporting. Read More»
Just as Tink started up the stairs, stepping slowly and carefully as he balanced a bowl and a cup of coffee to keep them from sloshing, I appeared around the corner. I paused, watched, and debated silently as to whether to speak.
"It's not important," the internal dialogue began.
"But it is," another voice insisted. "You know what that bowl means. It's a treasure. He has no idea and he would want to know."
One of the loveliest things about my husband is that he deeply cares about the people who have gone before in my life and how those people shaped who I am and how I think. Read More»
When Peggy Sue went away, just fell off the face of the earth with no warning or even a holler, we all wondered where she had gone.
She'd been a big deal for so long that her abrupt disappearance from sight was mystifying, to say the least, and worth a few gossip sessions to say the most. After a while, I just got tired of wondering and tired of asking her whereabouts so I just sat myself down to figure it out.
Not to sound boastful but I'm pretty sure I've got the mystery solved. You'll understand when I tell you her back story. Read More»
Recently I was in a bookstore with a friend. We stopped at a table near the front of the store and it was loaded with different books that had such obscene titles that many of the words were expressed as @?*#.
She picked up one, a New York Times bestseller and said, "This book is ridiculous. I just flipped through and read a few pages. The guy is a real jerk."
I picked up other books. "Look at these. Can you believe there is an entire table of books with obscene words in the titles?" Read More»
One day over lunch, my new-to-the-South-but-thoroughly-loving-it husband commented on the choir singing at our church which is led by my brother-in-law, Rodney.
"Among the several things I love about the music at church is that people sing different parts," he said. "At most churches today, everyone sings together."
True. Many churches have turned away from hymn singing and toward what is known as praise worship. In doing so, an important feature of Southern history is falling to the wayside. As an advocate of our history and legacy, I chose a church that honors that tradition. Read More»
It seems too many loved ones recently have said goodbye to this vale of grief and sorrow and said hello to sweet eternity. Heaven is blessed but I am distressed.
Whenever I needed a good story of kindness and compassion, I could always find one quickly in Pinky Cabe. Since she blushed mightily at the hint of any praise -— hence the name Pinky forever cloaked her Christian name of Martha — I mentioned her only once in this column but in my last three books, I tossed the veil aside and told the world of her gentle spirit.

Speaking with the media Monday, Meriweather said that if the NFL is going to punish him for hitting high, he'll target another area of the body.
NO he shouldn't be targeting ACLs. No he doesn't need to go low. There is such thing as proper tackling technique. Just go back to peewee football for Gods sake. BUT Meriweather isn't alone in this. In fact, I actually applaud him for his honesty. In today's NFL, you cannot win as a defender. ESPECIALLY a safety. Any "OOH" and "AHH" from a fan after a big hit, legal or not, is getting flagged and you're getting fined. It's just the way the game is going. The NFL is trying to put a stop to these concussions and are neglecting one HUGE issue. Players knees.
"To be honest, you've just got to go low now," Meriweather said, according to ESPN 980′s Chris Russell. "You gotta end people's careers. You gotta tear people's ACLs, mess up people's knees. You can't him them high anymore. You've just got to go low."
ACL tears and injuries are at an all-time high. It seems like every week we lose two or three players thanks to an ACL injury. I've personally spoke to three current NFL players who have told me they would rather have multiple concussions than to have ONE ACL tear. Think about it ... you could lose your ENTIRE career with one low shot to the leg. It is a quick-hitting injury. A concussion, while having longer lasting effects on the players life, is something you can come back from in days, not months. Try telling a player who is having a breakout season that in order to prevent head injuries, we are pretty much green-lighting Brandon Meriweather and Bernard Pollard to take a shot at your knee. Day over, season over and probably any hope you had at the big time contract OVER.
Sure, the NFL is taking precautions regarding head injuries and it is not likely to end anytime soon, but what do you want a player in Meriweather's situation to do? Rather than try to make a play to help his team win a game, you are forcing them to hesitate even .1 seconds and boom, you're beat for a touchdown. It isn't just on these players to relearn everything they have done on a daily routine for 10 years. The NFL, its coaches and trainers and players all need to go back to step one and practice what they were taught in peewee football -- proper tackling technique.
I don't agree with you Brandon, but I certainly know where you are coming from. From now on bud, drive your lead shoulder into the ball carrier's hips/midsections. Avoid helmet to helmet or helmet to lower-leg contact please. Do us all a favor. We don't want to be sitting here in fifteen years watching flag football.

BUFFALO, NY (Bisons.com) - Scranton/Wilkes-Barre snapped the Bisons' winning streak with a 4-3, come-from-behind victory on Sunday afternoon from Coca-Cola Field. The Yankees scored a run in the ninth and one more in the tenth to hand Buffalo their first home loss of the season.
The Bisons had won the first three games of their season-opening homestand.
The Yanks were down to their final out before starting to comeback. With two outs in the top of the ninth, Yankees' shortstop Eduardo Nunez homered on a 1-1 pitch from Bisons' reliever Manny Acosta. It was Nunez's fourth hit of the game.
An inning later, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre got their first two hitters on base with singles from David Winfree and David Weber. After a sacrifice and an intentional walk, pinch hitter Juan Miranda drove home the game winning run with a sac fly to deep centerfield.
Buffalo had their chances. Ruben Tejada was thrown out at the plate in the bottom of the ninth inning, trying to score on Josh Thole's hit to left field. Ike Davis and Mike Hessman led off the tenth with hits, but couldn't be pushed around to score.
The Bisons took a 1-0 lead with their first batter on the day. Jason Pridie homered into the Heron's Landing Party Deck for his first blast with the Bisons. Hessman's RBI-double in the third snapped a 1-1 tie and Alex Cintron homered in the fourth to give Buffalo a 3-1 advantage.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre closed to within 3-2 when Reegie Corona blooped one into left field in the sixth inning to score Colin Curtis.
Bobby Livingston started for the Bisons and gave up one run in five innings of work in a no-decision.
BISONS NOTES:Jason Pridie's lead-off home run was the Bisons first home run to lead off a game since Argenis Reyes accomplished the feat on July 22, 2009 in Louisville...When the Yankees' first baseman David Winfree doubled with two outs in the third inning it snapped a 16-inning stretch that Bisons pitchers had prevented an extra-base hit...Ike Davis went 2-5 at the plate, extending his hit streak to a Bisons' high seven games.

I like this AND I find it incredibly creepy. It's so pushy in its helpfulness — and the motors are just a bit too fast. Yet somehow, I sort of wish the smart-aleck grocery cart had even MORE snarky personality.
This is amazing! What a great use of tech!

Is Adoption for You? Positives and Pitfalls Prospective Parents Need to Know
- Friday, November 19, 2010
This is National Adoption Awareness Month, and the 20th will be the 11th annual National Adoption Day. This year the adoption month theme is "You don't have to be perfect to be a perfect parent."
Kids were made to be in a family, with real parents. No family is perfect, and I don't think I have ever met a perfect parent, have you? About the time parents near "perfection," their children are all gone and living on their own. Though adoption is never perfect, I do think that parents who are considering adoption need to be perfectly prepared and informed before they take this big step.
Adoption is riddled with acts of love by all involved. And once understood and fully appreciated by the adopted child (usually in their 20's), they will understand God's desire to adopt each of us to be a part of His family. As pure and undefiled as this act is, the act of adoption can still have difficulties and struggles, just as God often experiences struggles and sometimes rejection by His children.
It may seem from my following thoughts and warnings that I'm against adoption, but the opposite is true. In fact, I sit on the board of directors of an international adoption agency and some time ago I regularly worked with adoption agencies as the CEO of the National Association of Christian Child and Family Agencies. But I have to balance my own zeal for adoption with my experience of dealing with hundreds of parents who have contacted me over the years after running into an emotional firestorm when their adopted child reached the teen years.
Most of my experience has to do with the adopted kids who have come to live with us at Heartlight -- kids who were struggling with serious behavioral issues. In fact, about one third of all the teens who have ever come to live with us in our residential counseling program have been adopted. That's a pretty high ratio, since we don't target helping adopted children in our program.
I'm sure that none of the parents thought that they would have to send their child away one day, nor anticipate that things would go wrong. But things did go wrong... to the point that the child could no longer live at home.
That's big. It's bigger than just big. I would call it a crisis. It is a situation that no parent would hope for when adopting, but it is something to be prepared for.
I have had parents tell me that they wish someone would have asked them some deeper questions before they made the decision to adopt. And others who say that they wished they would have listened when someone did try to forewarn them about the possible future emotional struggles or mental and behavioral effects of alcohol or drug abuse during pregnancy by the child's birth mother. Some have even shared how they wish someone would have stopped their adoption from happening.
So whose fault is it when something does go "wrong"? The adopted infant who, at the very least, had no say in the adoption? Or the older child when adopted, who out of a longing to have a family agreed to all conditions presented to him or her? Or the parents, who out of the goodness of their hearts decided to bring a precious child into their family? Or the adoption agency that feels a call from God to help children and families by bringing them both together to fulfill one of God's greatest plans? Or God Himself who created a world that has over 50 million orphans in it?
You can figure all you want. But there's only one thing that you have control over. As a parent, you can check your motives, see if adoption is right for you, and be prepared for everything that lies ahead. All things being equal among teens, the adopted child has more of a proclivity to struggle.

BT combines free Business wireless services
BT is combining its Openzone wireless broadband Internet access and BT Fon Wi-fi community together under one name: BT Wi-fi. The company says that the move makes things 'neater and clearer'.
This means that BT business broadband customers – who get unlimited free WiFi - don't need to pay for 3G or use a dongle to get online while they are out and about, as long as they can find one of the new hotspots.

O2 launch Tablet insurance

QuBit launches the world's first free self-service Universal Tagging system
Until now tag management was a service that was expensive and only really open to larger businesses, but QuBit's free service QuBit OpenTag gives any the business the ability to reap the benefits – reduced maintenance times and faster sites - of a tag management system.
Most useful third-party services run by websites - such as Google Analytics - use tags, and each page of your website is probably full of tags. There are tags for analytics, tags for social media, tags for advertising, tags for SEO, and they very soon start to add up. They also become a bit of an administrative headache, every time a tag changes you need to change the tag on each page. Additionally because each tag comes from a different URL and a different provider – and even a different continent - it can potentially slow down your websites time to respond. Which is where tag management comes in.
With tag management, you just need to add one tag on each page, and that tag then calls all of your other tags. So now when you add a new page all you need to do is add a single tag not a list as long as your arm. When a tag changes you only need make one change in your tag management service and all the tags on your website are automatically updated. Additionally because the tags are cached on the tag-management service rather than fetched from all the different service websites, your page download speeds are also improved.

The new social media sharing also allows you to get advice from colleagues on the best restaurants and attractions and for you to recommend places to other people in your circle.

In this trendwatching podcast, Nora Young mentions this New Scientist article about the brain. It seems that while daydreaming, the brain is actually intensely active. What is it doing, and what are we doing if we don't allow ourselves space to daydream. New Scientist also has this sidebar which may answer Cathi's query: is this the part of the brain that's being stilled during meditation.
Cathi Bond has a great solution for all of us who slump over computers all day: the iPosture. Give yourself a little zap every time you slouch!
Also, Nora points to this warning up at The Guardian that Monday, November 24th is going to be a big day for worms and viruses.

Ferry Building
By: Dan Rosenbaum
At the end of Market Street, lies the Ferry Building, which was constructed in 1898 as the main transit hub. Today, many high-end local businesses line the inside of this San Francisco icon. On most days, it features cooking demonstrations and nearly 100 stands selling the season's best produce, meats and cheeses. The Ferry Building is great place for a stroll and eating at many of the restaurants overlooking the bay and seeing what San Francisco is about.
All points lead to the Ferry Building. Located at the northern end of Market Street, the clock tower, modeled after 12th century Giralda bell tower in Seville, Spain, is one of the most prominent points in the city's skyline. Once built as a transit terminal, today the Ferry Building houses one of the city's best farmer's markets and many artisanal, delicious food options within its beautiful interior.
Originally built in 1898, the Ferry Building was the second busiest transit terminal in the world. After the Golden Gate Bridge and Bay Bridge were completed in 1937, traffic to the hub sharply declined. Only after the Loma Prieta Earthquake and the Embarcadero Freeway was replaced with the current boulevard, was the great clock tower once again visible in the skyline. Once the full remodel in 2003 was completed and the marketplace was opened, the building returned to its former glory.
For additional information, contact the Ferry Building Marketplace at www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com.
General Visitor Info
The Ferry Building Marketplace is located along the Embarcadero at the foot of Market Street. It is the center of a transit hub that connects all of San Francisco's neighborhoods and the surrounding bay communities.
The Ferry Building is open from 10 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday. On Saturday, the Ferry Building is open from 9 AM to 6 PM and 11 AM to 5 PM on Saturdays.
For a complete list of stores and businesses within the Ferry Building, please visit their website at www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com/merchant_list.php.
