I'm an American guy and many of my polish friends have since moved out of the city. I have found the polish to be both nice and dependable which is great combination for potential roommate considerations. Does anyone know a good classified or website specific to Chicago that is commonly read by the Polish living here? I am just wondering on how I reach that part of the Chicago population.pgtx Nov 10, 2009, 12:26am / #2Northsider: I wish to rent out my lower level.how much? how big is it? what's in it?ShawnH Nov 10, 2009, 12:28am / #3pgtxI sense a new name would be in the works.....pgil maybe?ZIMMY Nov 10, 2009, 12:34am / #4Half the time I live in a condo which is right off the lake (1500 North block on LSD). I'm out of town at present but I may know a young man (30 ish) who might be interested, at least he was last month. He's American Polish and a professional. I'll be back in Chi-town later this week and if you are still interested let me know and I'll follow up and ask 'Tony' if he's still in the market to move.pgtx Nov 10, 2009, 12:44am / #5ShawnH: pgil maybe?maybe :)Polonius3 Nov 11, 2009, 01:15pm / #6Try: polonia.net/ogloszenia/mieszkanie-do-wynajecia.cfm?category=Mieszkania%20w%20Chicagokrysia Nov 11, 2009, 02:25pm / #7Northsider: I have found the polish to be both nice and dependable Some are better than some blacks and Mexicans who have their own drugged up dirty, dangerous, gang neighberhoods. Many Poles are here illegal and they try not to get into trouble because they might get deported.Contact "Dziennik Chicagowski".Also go to Walley's, Rich's or other Polish store and put up an ad.Northsider Dec 2, 2009, 07:09pm / #8Thanks!

As a mouse in our car, you would have heard the following conversation:
Thirteen-year old girl: I'm never getting married.
Dad: That will definitely save me a lot of money.
Nine-year old boy: Yeah, you just want to have a boyfriend, right?
Girl: No! Boyfriends are too much work.
Dad: Hallelujah!
Boy: Well, I'm gonna get a girlfriend.
Dad: Really?
Boy: Yep. And she's gonna be pretty.
Dad: Wouldn't you rather have one that is nice?
Boy: Well, she can be both, I guess.
Girl: Why do you want a girlfriend?
Boy: So I can go on a date with her.
Dad: What will you do on a date with her?
Boy: Well, you know… date stuff.
Dad: Date stuff?
Boy: Yeah, like kissing and stuff.
Dad: You know, dating is for getting to know someone to see if you like each other.
Boy: Well, I'll do that first and then, in about an hour, we can kiss.
Dad: Good plan.
Girl: Good plan? That's a terrible plan! Girls don't want to go on a date just to kiss. You have to buy her a milkshake and take her to movies and stuff.
Boy: I don't have enough money for that. Kissing is free.
Girl: If you don't have enough money, you shouldn't be going out on a date. You should be trying to find a job.
Dad: Can I get an "AMEN" to that!
Boy: I have $10.22 saved up. That's enough for a milkshake.
Girl: That's for only one date.
Boy: So? We don't have to go for more dates. How much kissing do you think we can do?
Dad: Okay, where are you going to find a girlfriend who only wants to go on one date?
Boy: I'll go on the internet… to a dating site.
Dad: You have to be 18 to use those.
Boy: Nope. Only 16.
Dad: Who told you that?
Boy: The guys at Cub Scouts.
Girl: I wondered what those boys did there.
Dad: So you learned about internet dating from a bunch of 9-year olds?
Boy: There was one boy that was 10.
Dad: I see. At least he had some credentials. Did this paragon of wisdom mention how to go about finding a girlfriend on the dating sites?
Boy: Yep. He said you have to look at all the girls and see which ones you like best. Then you ask them for a date.
Girl: What if they say no?
Boy: Anyway, I'm not gonna to do it that way.
Dad: Good. I think that is a wise decision.
Boy: Yeah. I'm just gonna put my face on there and wait till they come to me.

Do you have a word for 2013?
I told you in the last post that I am not doing traditional resolutions this year. Yes, I have a quiet little list in my head--things that I know will be so good for me to do, dreams and goals that I have of course, and things that I know must...MUST...change this year to make it the best year ever! I call it a 'quiet' list because I am not allowing it to nag me--I am taking it one day at a time without pressure.
Then there is the word for 2013...one word for 2013. Being a girl of many words, (all-the-time... ask French Guy---I talk A-LOT...when I am not writing or thinking of words to write--in 3 journals, or on 3 blogs or on that novel that is going to make me rich and famous in 2013... ah--but you get the idea.) So you might think coming up with just one to be the true, all encompassing word might be tough, but ironically, no. It came easily--thanks to a great writer, author .....
.... Goddess of words---Anne Lamott.
My word for 2013 is COURAGE. Here is why.... first there are some great opposites--the ways I don't want to be; fearful, cowardess, timidity, weak, defeated.... and synonomous words of inspiration related to it; bravery, strength, steadfast, determined.....
Next--courage is the same word in French and English--hence no need to have two words in 2013. I can't tell you what it has meant to me in the past when my father in law has firmly taken me by the shoulders and looked into my eyes and said 'Bon courage ma belle'..... for situations that may have in the moment seem insurmountable. His words gave me courage--showed me he understood.... I took it..that small piece of courage and put it to good use.
And as long as we are on the topic of 'French'.... courage will be seriously applied to one of my most major (and unexpected) struggles since re-locating to France---French---speaking French! No, it has not come easily--I do not dream in French ....yet.... and I quickly tire of appearing like a complete idiot and trying to speak French... I have become very shy, very timid, very embarrassed.... almost. every. day. It is hard to be that way. So no longer mes amis---courage will be applied....thickly. I will not care if I sound like a Spanish cow when I open my mouth---I will not be humbled by correction over and over by my family---or strangers--I will try, try and try again. I will not go sit in my car and get all teary after being completely humiliated by an unkind person who insults me for being American...living here....not speaking French. I will be brave, determined..... I will have courage... to be an idiot or sound like one... until I am not. (But I seriously hope that is soon!)
Next---courage application-- courage to be true and authentic.... and not always perfect. This one I will expand more on in the coming weeks. There are two writers/bloggers wonderful thoughtful human beings that I stumbled upon recently that have knocked my socks off with authenticity.... calling it like it is---no sugar coating....while still being incredibly inspiring and up-lifting and I want to share more about them and the things I have learned from them in short time since finding their blogs...
Lastly--and the HUGE one. Courage is best applied to your weakest and most vulnerable place in your heart.... for me it is my children. This is where--in 2013 I will need the most COURAGE....ever....it is the toughest thing in my life.
Here goes....with a big dose of the aforementioned "authentic and true me".... My littlest, who turns two years old this week, is soon to be diagnosed officially with Autism. It is the hardest thing for me to write about. She is my third child and my second who has Autism. It takes courage to even talk about it---I do not expect most of you to get any of this--what it is like as a parent, why it scares the heck out of me and breaks my heart, why it brings me to my knees....how on some days we are good and feel 'normal' and blessed and on others I am so full of grief that I cannot see straight.
It's a hard road--- and the one that I need the most courage to go down again....courageously.
So here is what Anne Lamott wrote---the quote that gave me my word for 2013.
"Courage is fear that has said it's prayers".
Exactly..... and amen!
And a verse of inspiration that I will cling to...
Deuteronomy 31:6
"Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid .... for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you...."
Happy New Year mes amis!
I am taking a 5 day break from the web/Facebook/Twitter and ....gasp! Instagram!--- well maybe not Instagram----okay yes Instagram too! Sheesh...
to re-stock the shop and work on a few projects that I can't wait to share ... and to fully embrace all that this amazing year has in store for us!
to re-stock the shop and work on a few projects that I can't wait to share ... and to fully embrace all that this amazing year has in store for us!

It is my great pleasure to show off the lovely couple of Wendy + Matt. You may recall their faces from a contest we held at the end of 2009. When we first received Wendy's + Matt's submission I was hoping that they would be the couple to win and THEY DID! Justin and I had been looking forward to finally meeting Wendy + Matt in person after seeing how many of their loved ones had voted on them, we truly felt they deserved this great honor. Their engagement session turned out sweet! Justin and I are truly looking forward to their wedding day!

You know what the problem in American politics is today?
Not enough money!
Not enough influence by special interests!
Not enough appearance of corruption!
Too much access for regular people!
Fear not. The United States Supreme Court is poised to rid us of these problems, and might even be willing to overturn its own precedent to do so. Its upcoming ruling in a case called McCutcheon vs. FEC could eliminate those pesky flaws once and for all.
The court heard arguments in the case Tuesday. An Alabama businessman, Shaun McCutcheon, argues that Congress violates the Constitution by letting him give only $123,200 to candidates and political parties in one election cycle. Putting any limits on his total political contributions violates his First Amendment right to free speech, he says.
The court must decide whether McCutcheons free speech right to cut checks worth $3.6 million to political committees every two years outweighs the damage done to a republic when a tiny handful of donors has Congress in its pockets.
After the courts misguided Citizens United decision in 2010, a ruling in favor of McCutcheon could destroy the last remaining protection against huge money flowing from individuals to individual politicians, and the access it buys. As Justice Elena Kagan said Tuesday, If you give $3.5 million, you get a very special place at the table.
When considering McCutcheons free speech rights, one should note that thanks to Citizens United, he can already spend (and speak) as much as he likes, so long as he does not coordinate his messaging with a specific candidate.
McCutcheon is challenging whats known as aggregate limits the total amount any one person can give to candidates, parties or PACs in one election cycle. The limits on how much can be given to any one candidate are not at issue. If youre unfamiliar with this aggregate limit, it means youre not one of the 600 people in this nation of 314 million who reached the limit for individual candidates in 2012.
The founding fathers were dedicated to protecting the government from corruptive influences. America lost that battle long ago, but theres little question the founders would have seen campaign finance regulation as within Congresss scope.
The Supreme Court has precedent to guide it, and has repeatedly followed that precedent. In the 1976 case Buckley v. Valeo, the court established that Congress has the authority to set contribution limits (but not spending limits) to protect against the appearance of corruption. The need for such protection has intensified, not waned, in the intervening 37 years.
Does anyone really believe anymore that political access cannot be bought and sold? Is more money from a handful of people what our political system needs?
Congresss approval ratings are the lowest theyve ever been, and understandably so. We need a federal government more responsive to the average person, not less. The McCutcheon case threatens to ensure that never happens.

So I just finished my 10 ranked games and I have 1188 elo, 1200 top rating, is that good? Am I stuck in elo hell? Somebody help me clarify.
Axiom Prime
Senior Member
Elo hell is a personal thing, it varies from person to person, you may be in elo hell at 500 or 900, or 1200, hell even 1600. Just keep playing and try to remain calm let alone keeping your team calm, if something goes bad go play something else for a few hours or do something other than LoL. Test the waters and see when you find the best players to be on, usually for me I find mornings and late nights to be the best time to queue.
I usually only play whenever I have a few friends on, thanks for the advice(:
You're lower elo than before you ever played a ranked game.
Technician Tim
you start at 1200 so you've dropped, but a lot of these poor saps end up below 800 so yeah your doing ok as far as im concerned
Extreme Eli
We're the exact same elo
Elo hell is typically considered to be 100-200 elo below your "true elo." It is where you may be a little bit better at map awareness, general strategy, or even choosing your champion than the typical summoner, yet there isn't a significant enough gap in skill between you and the other players to get through this elo.
Some view elo hell as basically any elo in which they "don't belong." However, a very talented player named Saintvicious (2000+ elo) disproved that last year. He intentionally brought his elo down to rock bottom by queue dodging, then he steadily worked his way back up to his original elo with few problems.
Anyway, 1200-1400 elo is considered a modest elo, right around the median. So way you can look at it is, you're probably better than about half of level 30s, and the other half might have an edge on you
Junior Member
yes you are in elo hell. Im stuck between 1200 and 1100. Doenst matter wich role i play its always 1 or two people in my team who play so unbelievable bad.
Its very sad. you dont lose cause the other team is playing better, you lose cause you have 1 or 2 idiots in your team
IMO, it's more like an average. You can't expect your entire team to do better than the opponents team every game in all aspects of the game. If you win 4 for every 2 losses, you might rage, because you're losing 20 points about for every 40 you get. Obviously it takes a long time to improve your ELO, so play a lot

Black widow spiders: Everyone's heard of them, not only because they're poisonous but also because of the female's lurid propensity to widow herself by killing and eating her mate.
Unknown to many, there are also white widow spiders (not to mention brown, red-legged, and others). Even more surprising, perhaps: these sexually cannibalistic arachnids can teach us something about – of all things – monogamy.
Basic biology suggests that males are generally less inclined than females to practice monogamy, simply because males have very little invested in any one reproductive effort (sperm are tiny, cheap to produce and hence, are made in vast numbers), whereas females partake of a different breeding strategy (eggs are large, expensive to produce, and hence, each one is taken more seriously).
Conventional wisdom in evolutionary biology has therefore been that males are limited by the number of females they get to copulate with; females, by the extent to which they get to invest in their offspring. Yet, by adroit use of DNA fingerprinting, biologists are discovering more and more cases in which males limit their sexual attentions, sometimes to just one female, and in which females extend their favors to more than one male. Among the aptly-named love bugs, for example, males may insist on copulating for upwards of 50 hours (during which, of course, they can't mate with anyone else), while even some "happily married" geese incubate eggs fathered by someone other than the female's "husband."

Danny Witwer: I worked homicide before I went federal. This is what we call an orgy of evidence. You know how many orgies I had as a homicide cop?A common tactic for fictional criminals (especially murderers) is to plant false clues at the scene of their crime: either to deliberately frame someone else or merely to throw suspicion away from themselves. Sometimes, however, they take things too far and the sheer amount of clues they plant has the opposite effect. No detective will believe that any criminal could be so careless as to leave that much incriminating evidence behind. He may also be suspicious because his investigation seems to be turning up all this evidence far more quickly and easily than is usual for this kind of case. In Real Life, of course, this is unlikely to work as it does in fictionnote . Any defense made in court that "I wouldn't be that stupid" is an Epic Fail. Even if you prove to the court that you have an IQ of 200, so many other criminals have done stupid things that you would not be believed. The reason in fiction that the detective doesn't believe the evidence is generally that the detective is Genre Savvy; the amount of evidence they find is so disproportional to the norm that it not only strikes them as unusual but implausible. That's why they start to suspect that it was planted deliberately. A Signature Item Clue may be what is used in these.
Officer Fletcher: How many?

The Latin ladies seem to be far more self-aware than our homegrown actresses. Like Sofia Vergara. Knowing that her luxurious lifestyle is bought and paid for by her fabulous jugs. There's no pretense about 'the craft' here. Just Sofia, flashing her moneymakers, and happy as a clam that her tits are worth millions. Why do I find that so refreshing? I'd say enlightenment but it's probably just sexism.

Get your fiscal path on track

Schnitzer Steel Industries Inc.
) posted fourth-quarter fiscal 2012 (ended August 31) adjusted
earnings per share of 10 cents, outstripping the Zacks Consensus
Estimate of a loss of a penny per share.
The adjusted earnings exclude a restructuring charge of $5
million (or 12 cents a share). Including that impact, the
Oregon-based company posted a net loss of roughly $0.5 million
(or 2 cents a share) compared with a profit of $36.7 million (or
$1.31 a share) a year ago.
For fiscal 2012, adjusted earnings were $1.11 a share compared
with $4.23 a year ago, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of
Revenue and margin
Revenues slid 29.5% year over year to $762.3 million in the
fourth quarter, falling short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of
$764 million. The company saw declines across the board in the
quarter. The results were hurt by a sharp decline in selling
For the full year, sales fell 3% year over year $3,341 million,
missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3,356 million.
Gross margin fell to 6.5% in the fourth quarter from 10.6% a year
ago. The company registered an operating loss of roughly $1.4
million in the quarter versus an operating income of $56.3
million a year ago.
Segment Performance
Revenues from the Metal Recycling Business (MRB) division tumbled
32% year over year to $652 million in the quarter. Ferrous
sales volumes were 1.2 million tons, down 13% from the third
quarter, impacted by a weak pricing environment. Non-ferrous
sales volumes were 169 million pounds, up 10% sequentially.
Average ferrous prices declined 11% sequentially while average
non-ferrous prices fell 7% in the quarter.
Auto Parts Business (APB) segment sales slipped 23% year over
year to $72 million. Sales fell 14% sequentially due to lower
commodity prices and admissions.
Revenues from the Steel Manufacturing Business (SMB) fell 3% year
over year to $90 million. Finished steel sales volumes jumped 22%
sequentially (essentially flat year over year) to 126,000 tons.
Average net sales prices for finished steel products declined 7%
sequentially as a result of lower raw material costs.
Financial Position
Schnitzer exited fiscal 2012 with cash and cash equivalents of
$89.9 million, up roughly 82% year over year. Long-term debt
declined 17% year over year to $334.6 million. Schnitzer
repurchased 1.1 million shares during the year and returned $45
million to its shareholders through share buybacks and dividend
payouts. The company generated operating cash flow of $245
million in fiscal 2012.
Restructuring Program
The company, in August 2012, announced some restructuring
initiatives, including a reduction of about 7% of its workforce
(around 300 positions). The restructuring program also involves
integration of the metals recycling and auto parts businesses.
The company expects total restructuring expenses of roughly $12
The restructuring will help Schnitzer to improve efficiency and
support future growth, while lowering costs and enhancing
profits. The company anticipates pre-tax cost saving of $25
million from the move.
Moving ahead, the company noted that it will continue to focus on
increasing value in fiscal 2013 through expansion of its metals
recycling export platform and auto parts business and boost
performance through sustained operational improvement
Schnitzer is one of the nation's largest recyclers of scrap
metal, a leading provider of used and recycled auto parts and a
manufacturer of finished steel products. The company's healthy
cash flows and balance sheet has enabled it to return value to
shareholders through share repurchases and higher dividend
payouts. However, it remains exposed to challenging market
conditions resulting from the global economic slowdown.
Schnitzer, which competes with the likes of
Commercial Metals Company
) and
Nucor Corporation
), retains a short-term Zacks #3 Rank (Hold).

NetApp Preps Post-Recession Plan
NetApp did not provide second-quarter revenue guidance during its recent quarterly results, citing lake of macroeconomic visibility, so it will be interesting to see whether the firm brushes off its crystal ball Thursday.
The storage specialist also unveiled a shiny new CEO during the summer, with COO Tom Georgens taking the company's reins from Dan Warmenhoven. Described as a "planned transition", Warmenhoven now serves as the firm's executive chairman, and investors will be keen to see how his successor maintains the NetApp growth trajectory.
The new CEO is likely to face questions about his M&A strategy Thursday, particularly after NetApp lost out to EMC in the tussle to acquire Data Domain (DDUP).
With NetApp locked in a market share battle with rivals EMC and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), it seems likely that the firm will look at other acquisitions and a number of names have already been mentioned. Possible targets could include software specialist CommVault (CVLT) Virtual Tape Library (VTL) firm FalconStor (FALC) or privately-held SepatonAnother possibility is NetApp itself becoming acquisition bait, according to Broadpoint AmTech's Marshall. "It has been widely speculated over the last few years that NetApp is an attractive take-over candidate for larger, more mature IT companies like Cisco (CSCO), IBM (IBM) and Hewlett-Packard," he wrote. "While we have no insight as to the validity of these speculations, we do believe that it would make sense for a larger IT company to acquire NetApp as it would be attractive from a product portfolio and accretion perspective." NetApp shares dipped 77 cents, or 2.9%, to $26.06 Wednesday, while the Nasdaq rose 0.01%. -- Reported by James Rogers in New York

Meet Chloe, the world's most spoiled Chihuahua. Lest you worry about her dirtying her dainty feet on bare ground, she trots around in little custom-made booties. Her diamond collar is by Harry Winston. The sweater vest is pure cashmere.
Oh, and get this: She hates Berlin, even when she stays there in a five-star hotel.
Disney's "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" isn't exactly striving for cinematic greatness. It's pretty much content when the mouths of the "talking" dogs come close to matching the dialogue. But even after a slow start, this silly kiddie flick turns out to have a little more pep than you might expect. It's no doggie classic, but neither does it deserve a pooper scooper.
Chloe (voiced by a perky Drew Barrymore) belongs to a Beverly Hills socialite (Jamie Lee Curtis), who dotes upon her dog with all the sublimated maternal obsessiveness of a woman who can afford a $900-an-hour psychoanalyst. When the socialite goes on an extended business trip, she leaves the dog with her careless niece, Rachel (Piper Perabo), who promptly plans a weekend jaunt to Mexico.
You can see what's coming: Chloe gets "dog-napped," escapes from the bad guys and embarks, with the help of a few canine friends, on the long journey home.
The film is more successful when it gets good and goofy, including an amusing rat-and-iguana comic-caper combination and a visit to the "homeland" of all Chihuahuas.
And you can't downplay the appeal of all those dogs. At the screening I attended, a young child in the audience called out the name of the hero German shepherd with affection. "Delgado!" he yelled. It was doggone touching.
MOVIE REVIEW | 'Beverly Hills Chihuahua'
Cast: The voices of Drew Barrymore, Andy Garcia and Cheech Marin
Behind the scenes: Directed by Raja Gosnell
Time: 90 minutes
Rated: PG (mild thematic elements)

In our Future cover story, the Atlanta rapper said that his new album would be "more aggressive" than anything he's done yet. The songs we've heard from Honest so far support that claim, especially the hard-hitting "Move That Dope." The long-awaited album could have gone in a very different direction as evidenced by "I Can't Believe (Moving On)," an Autotune-heavy track that was scrapped from the final track list. It joins "Good Morning" and Miley Cyrus collab "Real And True," other songs that were cut from the album. Listen below.
Honest is out 4/22 on Epic.

She struggles to find her independence and space even as she is sucked deeper into the labyrinthine politics of the city's underbelly. She starts dating a drug addict, Prashant. A city that feeds on her misery, a love that eludes her and above all, a devastating truth that she must encounter. And everyone wants a piece of her.

The question is why I didn't post in the introduction sticky.
First of all, I'm Kiwimommy, 18, mom to Ashlynn Heather who was born Jan 28th 2010.
I usually lurk, and posted a few times. Once of which I was reprimanded for posting on a "dead" topic.
So, my question is..
at which point is a topic considered "dead"?
If it's on the first page is it alright to reply? Even if it's been a week or two since the last reply?
A day?
A month?
I don't want to bump anything that is done and over with.
Hope to semi-get to know you all!

Thank you peimum for the gorgeous siggy!

Striking workers from the Office Clerical Unit of International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 63's and employers at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach have reached a tentative deal on a new contract, ending the strike that has crippled operations at the two ports since last week.
The ILWU said that the workers had obtained "new protections that will help prevent jobs from being outsourced" both domestically and abroad.
The deal was reported just hours after the arrival of federal mediators, but the mediators had little to do with the agreement, according to Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service Director George Cohen, AP reports.

On Island Time
|Scipio Caye, Belize

There's the waiting with the hordes to be seated for dinner, getting a faceful of sand from unleashed dogs on the beach and competing for prime lounge chairs at the pool.
If you're tired of the routine at the same old crowded getaways, there is another option.
Join the ranks of Marlon Brando, Ted Turner and the Du Pont family and vacation on your own private island.
Island ownership offers an unparalleled experience: "One feels a sense of independence and the ability to create
Since 1990, Private Islands Online has catered to both those looking for exclusive retreats and others seeking to fulfill the dream of island ownership. The three hundred islands the company currently has available range from just $25,000 in Nova Scotia to $45 million in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
For the most part, private islands are used either as a deluxe haven for family and close friends, or developed into resorts. In either case, they offer potentially good investment returns.
While those who sell islands offer no guarantees on long-term returns, Redmond notes that natural islands are a limited, finite resource.According to Cheyenne Morrison of Offshore Real Estate and Investments Quarterly, prices on some Caribbean islands increased by 300% between 1990 and 2000.
Before You BuyWhile some islands are sold with homes -- and amenities like electricity and running water already in place -- be prepared to work to make your personal kingdom habitable. Redmond notes that an average home will cost $150,000 to build (offshore construction costs are higher than those on the mainland); securing a septic system, water and electricity will be at least another $100,000. Expect to shell out about $10,000 for yearly maintenance, Redmond cautions the potential island buyer. Though the exclusive $39.7 million Ilsa de sa Ferradura (listed with

Love is BlindMy ears do not hear,
My eyes do not see,
But my heart still feels love,
And so I am free.
Love without limits, love without bars,
Love that is joyful, love beyond rage.
This I have found, and this I do know:
Love unlocked the door of my heart's lonely cage.
I will not listen to the anger screamed in my face,
I will not allow my soul to know fear.
I am whole, I am loved.
This is right, to have my love by me here.
Take a moment, stand with me.
Hear through my ears, see through my eyes.
Do you understand the truth of my world,
That love sees beyond all disguise?
You can fight it, deny it, run away out of fear;
Lock up mind and heart behind cannon-proof walls.
But is it worth it to greet love with hate,
And deny the sound of unity's call?
Man, woman, white, black, fat, thin, us, them;
These are the words that define what love can be.
What is allowed to the heart lest we offend the eyes.
And yet, I am blind - so my heart is free.
Between the Leaves
That I may be the lady for you,
My royal knight, with heart so true -
Never before have I wished for such a thing,
But the mere thought of you makes my blood start to sing.
Perhaps my words are forward, even so,
To stop loving you would be to kill me, this we both know.
Many will cry, "how horrid! this plain human girl with an elven sprite!"
But do you feel that anything could be more right?
The moment we met in my soul is enshrined,
How beautiful you were, how wise, warm and kind.
Your soft almond eyes watching me from the trees,
The only break in our silence a whisper of breeze.
Why did you follow after this poor warrior's child?
What of me was it that drew you away from the wild?
Before you, I was nothing but drab, ill and plain,
But, safe in your arms, as your lady I reign.
How I dread the coming of the end of the day,
How my soul aches when I must go away!
But, you remind me, even after this world ceases to be,
My heart will find yours, together under our tree.
Death of an ExileMy life I lay in your hands,
My dreams, counting like the many sands.
I trust in you, believe in you.
I will myself forever to be true.
But here I wait, I stand aside,
I let you go on the dawn's first tide.
Fly away, hopeful thoughts to nest
Secret within the heart in my breast.
Remember me, when the wind sings a sigh,
Remember me, when my wings flutter by.
I could have had anything if I only would be dark,
But now I can but fade like the sun's last mark.
It should have been my place there, with my own kind,
But here's where I stay, among the ash and the pine.
I hear the sigh of the sea as it sings out its song,
I hear the sigh of the sea, and know there isn't long.
My body lies trapped now, by cruel stone and bars,
But I hear my soul sing out to the stars.
I feel my wings spread, and I'll fly to the sun
For this shell to be left behind as I become none.
It is not a sadness that must greet this change,
A final freedom from pain, anger, and rage.
These diseases of soul to pain me no mor
You say that I'm the perfect child.
You say that I am all you could ever ask for.
I figured it would be okay if I told you the truth,
But I was wrong.
I'm tainted by satan
I'm the black sheep of the family
Something is obviously wrong with me
I'm not your little girl after all.
So what if I love another girl.
Is that so wrong?
The church says that God loves everyone
Murderers, Drug dealers, whores, and church goers alike.
Yet you sit here and tell me that loving the same sex is wrong?
I don't see anyone killed from it.
I don't see anyone getting sick.
I don't see anyone unhappy but you
I love this girl, and she loves me.
You love your spouse as they love you
Are we that different?
No, we're not.
You're just a hypocrite.
A stupid fucking hypocrite that can't understand
So what if you think it's wrong?
Does it look like I give a damn about your opinion?
The bible was written by man.
Man interpruted what god said.
You really think that just becaus
LoveI love her strong hands and silken skin,
that always smell of summer.
I love her gentle eyes and soft lips
I love her hesitation.
I love her compassion.
I love her odds and ends,
her oddities and strange habits.
I love the way she can inhabit me, control me, and set me free in a manner of seconds.
I love her heart, her innocence, her naivety.
I love how she can carelessly throw her entire being into love,
and be totally consumed by it.
I love that when I feel as though I am about to tumble of a cliff,
into the darkness of despair,
she is the only one,
the only thing,
that keeps me from falling.
I love the way she breathes, calmly, deeply.
I love her, with my entire being.
I am consumed,
she is love itself.
I am a girlI am a girl
that loves to be different
Who is shy around the opposite sex
and a girl who doesnt say a word when depressed

As the console wars continue, a new contender in the digital download conflict emerges. Publisher and developer Electronic Arts has announced that it'll be offering "platform exclusives" in the form of games only available through its own download service, Origin. The announcement coincides with new exclusivity requirements added for rival digital distribution service Steam, which have already seen Crysis 2 and other titles removed from its catalogue.
"You talk about platform exclusives like Halo or Uncharted," explains EA's Frank Gibeau: "EA's going to have some of our own platform exclusives." The "Only on Origin" badge has already shown up on advertising for Battlefield 3 and Crysis 2; the latter was recently removed from Steam once its presence on Origin was announced. EA has said this wasn't its decision: "It's unfortunate that Steam has removed Crysis 2 from their service. This was not an EA decision... Unfortunately, Crytek has an agreement with another download service which violates the new rules from Steam and resulted in its expulsion of Crysis 2 from Steam."
Alice: Madness Returns has also disappeared from Steam, while the digital-download version of EA's upcoming Star Wars: The Old Republic's Origin-exclusivity was announced last week. At the time of writing, EA still maintains a micro-store within Steam in addition to their independent Origin service.

There are as you are probably aware many brands of tea bags on the market from top range such as Yorkshire, Tetley, PG to Supermarket own label and some in between! However what attracted me to Yorkshire tea was in fact my in-laws!

I was at work not that long ago, and spotted a small box of tea bags that someone had left behind. The Yorkshire brand caught my attention, being i`m Canadian and my grandparents are from the Yorkshire area , I decided to try a cup. I drink a fair amount of tea and had to say that after the first sip it was as if angels started singing and the sky opened up and bright flashes of light came from the sky! Over exagerateing? Perhaps a bit, but there isn`t much better than a full bodied, flavorful cup of tea to look forward to in the morning! Now here in Victoria British Columbia I had to go to an English candy and sweets shop to buy it and it was quite pricey...about 16 dollars for 80 bags, but worth it!

It is made by a company called Taylors of Harrogate. Taylors of Harrogate was founded in 1886 by a tea merchant from Yorkshire called Charles Taylor. Taylors of Harrogate is a family business, and they also make delicious coffees, cakes and biscuits, and they also own the Yorkshire based Betty's Caf Tea Rooms, which are well worth a visit if you're in Yorkshire.

Written on: 01/03/2007 by AndreaG (242 reviews written)
Yorkshire Tea makes a cracking morning cuppa.
Get's me ready to face the day.
It tastes stronger than a lot of the other leading teas so not for the faint hearted, yet a must for the real hardened tea drinkers out there!
Try Yorkshire Gold too, a little more expensive again but a little stronger too!… Read Full Review

An X-47B Unmanned Combat Air System (UCAS) demonstrator completes the first ever autonomous arrested landing on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush.
Northrup Grumman's X-47B drone has completed its final flight and has headed home to its base, possibly for the last time. The entirely autonomous aircraft was the test bed for a number of future drone features, and the first to successfully land itself on an aircraft carrier.
"Salty Dog 502," as the operating X-47B is known (it has a twin not being flown at present), was temporarily staying at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, having flown there after scrubbing a landing attempt on the U.S.S. George H.W. Bush. A minor error was detected in its software and the test operators decided to have it land at a safe location instead of the carrier.
The aborted landing came after two successful ones over the last few weeks — the first ever such landings by an autonomous aircraft. The X-47B was created as a demonstration craft for the purpose of attempting such firsts, but will never see production. It was also the first autonomous craft to make a successful catapult take-off, earlier this year.
Friday saw the craft make a successful flight back to the Navy's Patuxent station, where it and the only other X-47B built will remain for now. The Navy may think up "additional test operations," or the two now-venerable drones may be packed off to the Navy museum.

Nam Hai
A high-design property has arrived on the South China Sea, and its sleek style is a testament to the impressive talent behind its inception. Aman resorts founder Adrian Zecha, French architect Reda Amalou, and Indonesian interior designer Jaya Ibrahim (whose past projects include the Chedi Milan) all collaborated on the Nam Hai's 100 freestanding villas, which are made from local woods, with elaborate hand-carved screens, pressed-eggshell surfaces, and stone floors. The property sits on a remote beach in Central Vietnam outside the quaint town of Hoi An—once a 16th-century trading port—and houses three swimming pools and a spa with sublime overwater relaxation rooms. Cool extras include luscious wool-and-cotton-blend bathrobes and outdoor showers. Executive chef Christine Townsend's eclectic dishes run the gamut from Vietnamese-style snapper carpaccio to Indian curry—helping to make this one of the most exciting newcomers around.
Tune in on Wednesdays at 10PM ET for Top Chef: Boston, the 12th season of Bravo's Emmy-Award winning, hit reality series.

'Ring spy needed: Hans Lehmann out of the spy photog game
Lehmann's ability to capture all the happenings on the Nurburgring solidified his place in spy photographer infamy and in several circles, is credited with causing automakers to deliberately run their camo'd mules on the 'Ring, hoping to catch Lehmann's lens.
While it's sad to see this legend of automotive espionage move onto greener pastures, we're comfortable with the knowledge that in this new media landscape, thousands of camera-toting pistonheads and their professional counterparts will continue to provide us with the images we love to obsess over. The players might be changing, but the game remains the same. Let the good times roll.
UPDATE: Brenda Priddy took the time to inform us that Lehmann Photo Syndication is still in existence, but was bought out when Mr. Lehmann retired. So you'll still see the name on photos, but not because Hans was behind the lens.

|i am part of an organic community garden that has put down tar roofing shingles to make some plots wheelchair accessible. i am assuming that this isn't very organic. woudln't petroleum leach into the soil?
please advise, as i think the people running the garden think i am making a big stink over nothing.
also, what might be an alternative? would gravel or woodchips really give enough traction?
Follow-Up Postings:
|Well, if you want to get technical, petroleum IS organic...
Seriously, though, even if those shingles did leach, the effect would be extremely localized. You might get some contamination of the soil directly below them if there's no underbed, but unless they're IN your plot, I don't see any way that you could suffer any health effects.
Gravel isn't a workable alternative (think about how hard it is to ride a bicycle in loose or newly-laid gravel) and woodchips are probably worse. You need something that's smooth, firm, doesn't move, and can handle getting wet repeatedly. About the only good alternative I can think of would be a well-built wooden or masonry pathway. However, you might get more practical suggestions in the Accessible Gardening forum, if you haven't already asked there.
So I would say that the social benefits of making the garden accessible outweigh the "un-organic" nature of the shingles. If they really bother you, volunteer to replace them with a wooden pathway, but that would cost you lots of money. Definitely avoid complaining about the shingles if you haven't offered an excellent alternative (preferably one for which you're willing to do all the work personally), or you'll come off looking like you're against equal opportunities for people with disabilities. It's a matter of weighing the benefits against a very tiny potential risk.

|We use upside down old carpeting strips in our garden, and I can imagine that they might provide traction as well as being a weed barrier, especially if they were held down with strong landscaping pins.
|what about recyled tires or slate chips?
any idea how i might get my hands on those.
other people in my community are suggesting them as an alternative.

|Here are two ideas:
1. Use salvaged bricks from structures about to be torn down; you will have NO trouble finding a wealth of these possible sources. Contact a local sand blasting company and ask for free sand to fill in between the bricks, once they are laid out in a contained pathway. Be sure to level the pathway before you lay the bricks.
2. Salvage wood from the same type of structures. 2x4's (or 'beefier') are good for a solid, load bearing surface. Again, level the pathway, put some sand underneath, have a frame (of 2x4's or 2x6's) and expect to replace boards every 2-5 years.
Good Luck!
