More reviews by perfectionist_virgo
Purchased this finally after passing on it so many times during my trips to Sallys. I thought it was going to be like the Oatmeal and Honey scrub which ove never been so impressed with to continue using. Well recently o figured out that my skin loves cocoa butter, much more than shea, so I decided to give this a go. The granules are very good, I know they're the right size because they don't leave bumps on my cheeks the way harsher scrubs do. I didn't find this to be moisturizing like some others have, but it has not particularly dried me out either. This leaves me brighter and smoother! I'm still trying to figure out how often to use it though. If this is good for me over time then it will definitely be 5 lippies.

Highly Recommended! :D
I love this scrub, it does eveything I want plus its cheap. I got mine at Sally's Beauty Supply for only $3 and some change. The granules are small, smooth and provide a nice scrub down without scratching or irritating the skin. The product leaves my face feeling fresh and smooth. The cocoa butter smell is smooth and inviting without smelling overly strong or intensely sweet. Also the cocoa butter prevents the face from being overly stripped and dry.
I believe this is great for all skin types (however if you have more sensitive skin I would suggest using this less often)
Loved it! I have sensitive skin prone to acne. This scrub made my skin super soft,fresh,clean, and glowing! And it smells like yummy chocolate. I wish I knew about this sooner.
I'm so happy I found this scrub! ^_^
I have normal/dry skin, and I use moisturizer twice a day, but I never manage to give rid of the flakies around my nose and on my cheeks. That was until I found this scrub. Every other scrub I tried helped a little bit, but ultimately left my skin flakey. ( I know a scrub to treat dryness doesn't make much sense, but my skin isn't dry necessarily, in fact it's a wee bit oily on my T-zone, but it's also very FLAKEY.) This scrub moisturized and exfoliated at the same time. It's my HG scrub now, and for the price I can afford to buy it over and over again. :)
I am not one to use facial scrubs. I do have the St. Ives Apricot one, it was always so scratchy, nothing to rave about.
This one on the other hand.... the granules are so small! Not scratchy! It's soft, it smells great, and it's incredibly moisturizing. I am perplexed and impressed.
I have dry skin, with the occasional breakout, so this is perfect.

-The smell is amazing.
-The prize is $3, just try it!
-The product makes my skin soft and smooth.
-The little grains feel awesome on your face.
-I use it on my face, shoulders and chest :]
-My acne is more calm since I started to use it :]
Love it, would repurchase it
I use this as a body scrub and I love it! It reminds me of Lush's Buffy the Backside Slayer. Great scrub, and it has that awesome cocoa scent. You cant go wrong with this.

This stuff is great!!! omg i love it ,seriously don't no what i would do with out this.It makes my skin feel so fresh and it even made some of my pimples go away! Totally didn't expect that. i love it, amazing stuff. i definitely recommend this to everyone!!
This is a new find that I am currently loving. It smells like a beach, the granules feel soft like white sand. The cocoa butter makes keeps the skin soft and moisturized. This leaves no yucky residue, and it doesn't scratch or irritate my skin. I love this scrub at the moment. Time will tell if it's my HG. :]

This DSF, Gulf News' Web News Editor Florence Pia G. Yu trawls the malls and places off the beaten track to find the best deals and bring you the quirkiest items you can add to your shopping bag
Bargain hunt show-and-tell

- A pair of jeans from American Eagle Outfitters (picture 1); Watches for Dh20 at Virgin (picture 2); giant fashion watch from Aeropostale (picture 3); a pair of shorts from Nautica (picture 4) for Dh29.
I wanted to stick to window shopping these past 32 days of sale madness. It just made me froth in the mouth.
Since some of you have been asking me incessantly if I've bought anything for myself, well, here they are: The deals that I just couldn't resist.
Sweet deal
Picture 1: American Eagle Outfitters really know how to put on an amazing sale. I bought a cap, a couple of polo shirts and some pants. The deal on this pair of jeans was the sweetest of them all: Dh45 (the original price was Dh200).
Super deal
Picture 2: You could say I unleashed the Superman fan in me by buying four of these slap-on wrist watches for Dh20 each at Virgin (they were Dh109). I also snapped up the last Taz piece for Dh20 (it was Dh135). Don't mind me gloating.
Picture 3: I was so intrigued by this giant fashion watch from Aeropostale (Dh50 after a 50 per cent discount) that I brought one. I'm a few months away from going on vacation and I still can't decide who I'd give it to. Tick tock tick tock.
The mother of all bargains
Picture 4: I can't begin to tell you what it feels to find the mother of all bargains. I found this last piece beige shorts at Nautica. It's the perfect size for my favourite aunt, who loves to wear shorts all the time. The price is even perfect. From Dh269, it's been slashed down to Dh29! Now, how do I hide this blog entry from my aunt...
* * *
That's it for now, folks. It's been fun shopping (and window shopping) with you. See you next DSF!

There is no doubt that the world today is smaller than the one of even a generation ago. Being able to communicate with people who live in another country is growing in importance. Learning the basics of speaking a second language is more than memorizing a list of words and verb conjugations. Living in the target country and understanding the culture as well as the language is the best approach for learning. When you want more information about learning another language, the information described at www.cesalanguages.com will help you decide if the in-country approach is the right one for you.
The language education program, CESA Languages Abroad is a UK-based immersion school with campuses in various countries. The languages available currently are Chinese, Spanish, German, Italian, French, Japanese and Arabic. The well-recognized program also provides classes in Russian and Portuguese. Many of these language courses have multiple schools within a language group, or even multiple countries.
Only native speakers are used in the classes. Only the target tongue is spoken within the classroom walls. These are teachers with successful techniques and methods who have the larger ability to engage students in fun activities. Each of the communication avenues is addressed, including reading, speaking, writing and listening. The entire approach is designed to enhance communication in the desired language.
While studying the language, students typically choose to stay with host families in the company. This improves the opportunity to assimilate the culture and the language. The stay in-country will vary from a couple weeks to more extended periods. Some students prefer a bit more privacy so they elect to stay in a student dormitory, studio apartment or even a hotel. These accommodations are made by CESA staff.
There are several reasons for choosing to learn another language. Students may want to be able to study in another country. Travelers might want to interact with people in the country in which they are traveling. Sometimes businesses want to set up branch offices in another country and need better communications. The languages are taught in Germany and Austria for the German languages. French is taught in France and in Guadeloupe. Spanish can be studied in Spain or in South America. Students can study the languages in Portugal, Italy, and Morocco.
There is a growing interest in learning Russia. Students can choose to visit Moscow or St. Petersburg for various levels of language study. When studying the Russian language, courses range in length from two weeks to several months.
The Chinese studies are found in two different locations in Beijing. The language studied is the Mandarin dialect. Students could also choose to visit and study the Shanghai dialect in that city. As with other countries and tongues, the course length varies from short term to a gap year duration. Another Asian language available is found in Japan. Students may choose Okazaki or Fukuoka as the location for study. In the each location, students will be have the opportunity to experience the culture, art and history of the country.
CESA Languages Abroad, through its website at www.cesalanguages.com, offers top quality education in languages from various countries and tongues. Prospective students can learn about available languages and locations, schedules and costs. The explanations are clearly written and there are descriptions of personal experiences of students to expand viewpoints about the learning experience. The techniques are known to be the most effective and the cultural learning opportunities varied and fun.

Published by Tzer2 at 12:57 UTC, June 9th 2008
Do you want to know a secret? You can get a lot more N-Gage games for your N-Gage-compatible phone than Nokia is telling you about. These unofficial games are known as S60 Third Edition (S60v3) games, and they're technically the same thing as N-Gage games. S60v3 games have just as much access to the phone's hardware as N-Gage games, and their graphics and sound can be just as good too. Click on the headline of this item to find out where to get S60v3 games, how to install them on your phone, and which ones you should get.
If you think your N-Gage-compatible phone can only do official N-Gage games, you're missing out on all the unofficial N-Gage games. They're called "Symbian S60 3rd Edition" games, because N-Gage-compatible phones run on a software platform known as Symbian S60 3rd Edition. This is a bit of a mouthful, so it's often shortened to just "S60v3", and some people also call it "Series 60 v3" or "Series 60 Third Edition".
S60v3 games can access an N-Gage-compatible phone's hardware much more directly than Java games, which means better graphics and smoother gameplay.
In fact N-Gage games are really the same thing as S60v3 games, "N-Gage" is just a brand name for S60v3 games sold through the N-Gage application.
Lament Island and K-Rally for S60v3
There are lots of commercial and free S60v3 games out there. Almost all of them are available as special installation files that end with .SIS or .SISX. These can be installed onto your phone directly by downloading them through the phone's web browser, or indirectly using your computer and the Nokia PC Suite application. Don't worry if that sounds complicated, it's very easy, and there's a link to a step-by-step tutorial later in this article.
Commercial S60v3 games are usually sold through retail sites such as Handango.com and Clickgamer.com, which provide you with a downloadable file that you can install onto your N-Gage-compatible phone (they'll probably also e-mail you an activation code which turns the demo version into the full game).
If a shop asks for your phone's IMEI number, don't panic! Every phone's IMEI number is printed on a metal plate underneath the battery, and you can also find it out by typing *#06# which will display it as a "serial number". The reason they ask for this is so they can lock the game so it only works on your phone, in order to fight piracy.
Free S60 games are usually available as .SIS or .SISX files from the game developer's website.
Atlantis Redux and MicroPool 2007 for S60v3
All N-Gage-compatible phones are Symbian S60 3rd Edition (aka S60v3) devices. If you can get hold of an S60v3 game, it should work on your N-Gage-compatible phone.
Some sites may offer S60 3rd Edition games in a variety of screen resolutions, which can be rather baffling. It's very simple though:
All N-Gage-compatible phones have QVGA screens, which means they can run games that are 240x320 pixels (in portrait/vertical mode) or 320x240 pixels (in landscape/horizontal mode). You can also use lower resolution 176x208 games too, but these will have a black border around them.
Some games will be able to support both modes, and perhaps even switch between them while you play, but other games will only support one mode or the other.
If you're in any doubt about compatibility, download and install the game's demo on your N-Gage-compatible phone. If the demo works, then the full version will work too.
Return To Mysterious Island and Snakes for S60v3
There are two basic methods, both of which are very easy once you get the hang of them.
- You can download and install the game straight onto your phone using the phone's web browser. This method works best for free games, as they are usually available as direct links to the .SIS or .SISX file, so you can just click on the link to download and install the game.
- You can download the game onto your PC, then install it on your phone by connecting it to your computer using the USB cable. This method works best for commercial games, as they often require you to purchase the game on sites that are difficult to navigate on a small screen.
You can get complete step-by-step instructions for both of these methods over on the N-Gage School site.
Video of K-Rally in action
Some S60v3 games are great, some aren't so great, and some games are sold as S60v3 but are actually Java (you can tell which games are Java because they have file names which end in .JAR or .JAD instead of .SIS or .SISX).
To help you out, here are some S60v3 games which we recommend for your N-Gage-compatible phone. Some of them are free, some are commercial. The free games tend to have less impressive graphics because their development budgets tend to be lower, but they can be just as much fun to play as the commercial games.
The "Review" links below all have numerous screenshots of the games along with detailed reviews, and the "Where to get it" links take you to sites where you can download or purchase the games.
Recommended Free S60 Games
- Frozen Bubble
A free game, this is an "open source" clone of the famous arcade game Puzzle Bobble (aka Bust-A-Move) where you have to match chains of similar-coloured bubbles so they fall off the screen.
Review: Click here for our sister-site All About Symbian's review of Frozen Bubble.
Where to get it: Download the .SISX file from the developer's website (make sure you choose the one under "Binaries" called "S60 v3 (240x320)").
- Snakes
We did a feature about this recently, Snakes is an absolutely superb phone game, one of the best ever made. It's a complete reimagining of the classic Snake game, set in a 3D world where you have to follow energy paths and clear levels within a time limit. The graphics, sound and gameplay are impeccable, with gentle easy levels to begin with that introduce the gameplay elements, followed by gradually harder levels to keep you coming back for more. This is one game every phone user should have.
Snakes was originally released for the old gen N-Gage. It has now been re-released by Nokia as a free S60v3 game with higher resolution graphics, so you can play it on modern N-Gage-compatible phones.
Review: Click here for All About N-Gage's review of Snakes for N-Gage-compatible phones.
Where to get it: You can probably get it directly onto your phone from the games section of your phone's "Download!" icon, or you can download it from the Nokia 5700 support site. The version on the 5700 support site works on all N-Gage-compatible phones.
- S-Tris 2
This is a free Tetris clone with simple but nice graphics and music. If you want the basic Tetris gameplay on your N-Gage-compatible phone, this is the game to get.
Review: Click here for All About Symbian's review of S-Tris 2.
Where to get it: You can download it from the developer's website. You'll find the S60v3 versions in the "Symbian Series 60" section. Note that S-Tris 2 doesn't have orientation-switching, so make sure you choose the 240x320 version if you want to play in portrait/vertical mode, or the 320x240 version if you want to play in landscape/horizontal mode.
Recommended Commercial S60 Games
- Astraware Boardgames
This is a compendium of eight classic boardgames including Backgammon, Ludo, Nine Men's Morris, Chess, Draughts, Snakes & Ladders, Othello and Noughts & Crosses.
Review: Click here for All About Symbian's review of Astraware Boardgames.
Where to get it: You can buy it from the developer's website.
- Atlantis Redux
A very plot-oriented adventure game, with a variety of object-based and skill-based puzzles, detailed panorama graphics, over 30 minutes of video clips and lots of voice acting. The game has you stumbling across an Ancient Egyptian object in the middle of the African desert, which allows you to open a gateway to a bizarre new world.
See also Return To Mysterious Island below, which is by the same development team and features even nicer graphics and more complex puzzles.
Note that this is the full version of Atlantis Redux. Releases for older phones cut a lot of the plot out, but this is the full game.
Review: Click here for All About Symbian's review of Atlantis Redux.
Where to get it: You can buy it from All About Symbian's software shop.
- Flurkies
This might not have 3D graphics but it looks nice enough and plays absolutely wonderfully. The levels increase in difficulty at just the right rate, and the game is addictive because the later puzzles seem so simple but are very hard to solve. Highly recommended.
Review: Click here for All About Symbian's review of Flurkies.
Where to get it: You can buy it from Clickgamer.com. Make sure you choose the version that says "Symbian S60 v3".
- Lament Island
A Chinese 3D action adventure with a fascinating plot, beautiful graphics and a very lovely soundtrack indeed. It looks and plays quite a lot like Tomb Raider, but it has a bit more emphasis on adventure and exploration rather than combat, though there is some combat involved. It also makes innovative use of the phone's camera and microphone for solving certain puzzles.
The installation process for this game is slightly more complicated than for other S60 games as you have to transfer several directories of files onto your phone's memory card. It's a pain, but there are installation instructions included with the game, and it's worth it as Lament Island is one of the best phone games ever made.
Review: Click here for All About Symbian's review of Lament Island (it received one of AAS's very very rare Mega Game awards).
Where to get it: You can buy it from All About Symbian's software shop.
- K-Rally
A top-down combat racing game a bit like Micro Machines combined with Mad Max. You have to drive around a track and finish first while collecting upgrades and money, and avoiding the weapons of the other drivers. The violence is very cartoonish, and the swearing speech bubbles when someone drives over a landmine always raise a smile.
K-Rally is made by Infinite Dreams, the same people who did Creatures Of The Deep for the new N-Gage platform, and it shows just how much attention to detail they put into their games.
Review: Click here for All About Symbian's review of K-Rally.
Where to get it: You can buy it from All About Symbian's software shop.
- Mau Mau
Essentially a phone version of the card game Uno, it looks very simple but also quite quirky and charming, and the gameplay is particularly addictive. It's not available in a QVGA form, but the 176x208 version will work on all N-Gage-compatible phones with a black border around it.
Review: Click here for All About Symbian's review of Mau Mau.
Where to get it: You can buy it from All About Symbian's software shop.
- MicroPool 2007
A simple but splendidly-realised pool simulator which has a top-down view, very realistic physics and real time raytraced graphics. You can play against the computer, or two people can play the same game by passing the phone between them.
Also see Virtual Pool Mobile for a more spectacular-looking pool simulator.
Review: Click here for All About Symbian's review of MicroPool 2007.
Where to get it: You can buy it from All About Symbian's software shop.
- Return To Mysterious Island
An adventure game for S60 phones originally written for PCs, it features a rather spectacular graphical system and fascinating puzzle-oriented gameplay. You're a shipwrecked sailor who has to explore a strange tropical island apparently filled with long-forgotten technology. This is an unofficial sequel to the Jules Verne novel "Mysterious Island".
Also see Atlantis Redux earlier in this article, as it's a similar kind of game by the same developers.
Review: Click here for All About Symbian's review of Return To Mysterious Island.
Where to get it: You can buy it from All About Symbian's software shop.
- Revival
A turn-based strategy game based on the original Civilization for PCs. You found a new civilisation and lead it as it develops technologically and politically, defending it from enemies and developing its cities.
Review: Click here for All About Symbian's review of Revival.
Where to get it: You can buy it from the developer's website. Make sure you choose the "Series 60 v3" version.
- Sky Force Reloaded
An acclaimed scrolling shoot-em-up from Infinite Dreams, the development team behind the N-Gage platform's Creatures Of The Deep. The game mixes classic 2D gameplay with 3D elements to give SFR a more modern slick graphical look.
Review: Click here for All About Symbian's review of Sky Force Reloaded. (Note that this is a review of a version for UIQ3 devices, but the S60v3 version is virtually identical.)
Where to get it: You can buy it from All About Symbian's software shop.
- Super Miners
Super Miners is a boulderdash clone featuring rather nice 2D graphics and smooth animation, and is an older S60v3 game from developers Infinite Dreams.
Review: Click here for All About Symbian's review of Super Miners.
Where to get it: You can buy it from All About Symbian's software shop.
- Tibia Micro Edition (aka TibiaME)
The graphics on this game look pretty poor by today's standards, but the gameplay is something special: this is the world's first ever mobile phone Massively Multiplayer Online RPG, it's been running since 2004, and it has thousands of players online at once. It's from the makers of the PC MMORPG Tibia, though they operate in totally separate game worlds and play quite differently too.
You can play the game on your own if you wish, but the joy of TibiaME comes from interacting with the other human players, either co-operating in quests and battles, or just trading and chatting in the towns. This is a unique experience in phone gaming, and something every phone gamer should try at least once.
Review: Click here for All About Symbian's special in-depth review of TibiaME.
Where to get it: You can buy it from All About Symbian's software shop.
- Virtual Pool Mobile
A 3D pool simulator with excellent graphics, you can view your shots from any angle, and play against a variety of progressively cleverer computer opponents.
Also see MicroPool 2007 for a more straightforward pool simulator.

We have seen a plethora of dramas revolving around over possessive and jealous wives and girlfriends but "Life Ok" channel's recent show "Dil Se Di Dua… Saubhagyavati Bhava" revolves around a timid girl and her tyrannical husband. Viraj and Jahnavi are newly married but have master-slave relationship instead of mutual respect and love.
In the coming episodes you will see that the couple will have dinner at Jahnavi's home. Viraj expects Jahnavi to stay mum while she wants to tell everything to her family and expose the double faced Viraj. Things take an interesting turn when they reach her place.
Jahnavi's father Gangadhar is neck deep in trouble as he is accused of corruption by Bhagwat and is being insulted by a mob in his own house. Viraj rescues his father-in-law and gets into a heated argument with inspector Uniyal. After all this, you will see how Jahnavi's father gets a minor heart attack and is advised by the doctor to stay away from stress. Hence, this time as well, Jahnavi 's plans of exposing Viraj go kaput. Our only advice to Jahnavi – just wait and watch girl!

The Gift of Sound. In our little house stands an upright piano Tuned by a blind man blessed by the gift of sound. My son sat one day playing a masterpiece Wrote long ago by a man who couldn't hear. Listening to the music it took my mind away to Afar magical places no luggage and no cases. My mind kept jumping between different scenes Fields of colored flowers the loveliest it can be. Shadows of far mountains colors in different hues A pied piper sat under a tree playing his favorite tune. Sheep gathered together chased by a cleverly dog Taught by nature no cane and no flog. Oh… the gift of sound.
One fine day, I planned a visit to zoo Alone landed amidst the fauna left so few Treaded merrily on greenery, singing my heart out Whilst a lion's scary roar made me shout 'Ah! Another visitor', said the lion annoyingly 'Why should we entertain you?' said he fumingly 'What's the point in wasting your energy and mine? Making us do the funny acts, do they seem so divine?' Hearing those words I dared Reduced the distance, still scared Said I, 'Stop fuming King of Jungle, watch out for your age, Hadn't I come to visit you, wouldn't you be bored in your cage?' 'The answer dwells in your question, silly girl You humans have no heart of pearls, The so-called king of jungle imprisoned in cage Heartthrob of millions I was, at my early age' 'To meet my family, hope it doesn't get too late I need to eagerly meet 'em all, my cubs, my mate I still feel them, they are waiting for me Oh girl! Be kind enough to set me free.' I couldn't have done that with all my might Turned my way, delighted by a peacock's sight The multihued beauty was sheltered in a metallic cage Awe! Gloomy this beauty looked, in distress and rage 'What is wrong? Do you want to fly?' It turned around and looked straight at the sky 'Show me those vibrant feathers, the fan-like crest Guests would adore seeing you dance at your best' 'I dance just for my love, my love for rain, Cool breeze no more likes crossing my lane Why do I open my feathers without my mate's presence? Just to amuse you, I shall do; confined in this fence' Dumbstruck, I decided to turn my way Walked ahead in quest of animals happy and gay There it was! A crazy monkey, flirting and making its choice Mimicking others and playing around, hear its evil noise Bouncing, bouncing and dancing, dancing It ruled as if dungeon's dominant king Wow! You look so happy; what's the reason? 'Girl! No more fun for you, 'coz free I'll be from this prison'. Two giant men came forward and opened the door Good Lord! It'll be free, unkind humans is just animal's lore! Monkey screeched, 'Meet me soon in the nearby forest Where I meet my pals, play, eat, have fun and rest' Happy to see the monkey's joy, I walked ahead Across the bushes, saw a van, a huge van in red Giant men carried animals and dumped in the van Shocked I was to see the sight and reckoned their plan Why was my monkey friend inside, for what purpose? It was clear as I read the van's name, 'The Great Royal Circus!'
Oh lonely Inevitable Bear, Padding claws, death in white Sorrow in recurring nightmare Instinct's test; fight or flight? Camouflage against the fence, A challenge; my subconscious fear Ominous slowly moving silence, "Let me in, there's a bear out here!"

Let love fly - With ethereal compassion, a soft glow in her eyes, she picks up the baby eagle, tries to convey words of eloquent reassurance, sincerely she tries. Look, June is here this morning; and sun is shining hot; last night's storm belongs to last night; it has left an eagle; a homeless, hurt, upset baby; it feels forlorn, lost, caught. She takes it home; makes enclosures; feeds it with love, care. It still feels solo, alone within, fed by love, fed up. The enclosure of good concern grows smaller with time's each turn. The bird's soul belongs to the sky; in its eyes silent prayer flares up as it cries; shrill piercing call to its own kind. Let it fly. =© 2009 - All Rights Reserved Kushal Poddar
My eyes Witness your departure My eyes Are dripping with hopelessness… My eyes start to blur… Melancholy put me under pressure… Is there a cure to my disease? You don't see The shards of hope that once brought us back together Just let me search for safety I'm strong enough to realize that I'm no longer The weakest prey out there… And I'm left in my solitude… Do you hear me whimpering like a distraught puppy left on the train tracks? I'm close to my demise…save me and take me home Nourish me…and be my beloved friend Will this friendship last forever? Hopefully it has no end Will this cheerful moment help us get along with each other? Because of you…I feel the need to run I keep an eye on you – I worry that you'll hurt yourself again Because of you…My freedom is nearly gone I don't wanna be caught off guard again Because of you…EYE can't picture a solution for our vexing dilemma Because of you…eye can't focus on my long-term goal And I'm left in my solitude… Do you sense that I'm giving in to failure? And I'm close to my demise… Only to find myself disappear…I can't endure The hardships that you place upon me… Could you boost up my confidence to overcome My atrocious anxiety? I'm just waiting for some sun To keep me in good hands… To strengthen me with perseverance … I'm just waiting until His son Leads the world outtah Egypt and reveals to us… His radiance…His dazzling Kingdom – Vibrant with glee Your undying sympathy dawns upon us I'm overflowing with indescribable joy You're a candle in the night… We meet eye to eye… What a sight…what a precious sight
Awaken me, Lord. Open my ears that I may hear the voices, Of those wo cry out for help. Let me not be deaf to their pleas, Lest they perish, because I would not hear. Awaken me, Lord, That I might make a difference. Open my eyes that I may see those who suffer. Let me not be blind to their needs, Lest they perish because I would not see. Awaken me, Lord. Clear my mind that I may undersrtand the plight, Of those who cannot help themselves. Let me not be ignorant in my comfort, Lest they perish because I was thoughtless. Awaken me, Lord. Open my heart that I may truly feel, For all who suffer and have need. Let me not be cold and unfeeling, Lest they perish because I would not care. Awaken me, Lord. Loose my hands that I may reach out, To those for whom You have suffered and died. Let me not be lazy, or fearful of what others might think, Lest they perish because I would not reach out. Amen Once when I was out walking I heard a dog screaming in agony begging to be let inside out of the cold. I just laughed to myself saying to myself that the dog was acting like she was dying out there. I paid her no mind sense the dog wasn't mine. Later when I passed by again all was quiet. I figured the owner had let her in. The owner wasn't home. They went to school and to work forgetting the dog was still outside. She Froze To Death And I Could Have Helped Her If Only I Had Cared Enough To JUST GO CHECK IT OUT BUT I FEARED WHAT THE OWNERS WOULD THINK OF ME STICKING MY NOSE IN WHERE IT DIDN'T BELONG. Just because it's an animal that doesn't mean they don't matter or "don't feel pain like we do". Pain is pain and it HURTS. They feel it like we do they just can't tell us because they can't speak our language but they speak in every other way if we will just listen. That dog died in agony because I didn't listen and her owners FORGOT ABOUT HER.
Wake up sleepy head is all that's left to say. Get up I say! But of course it didn't help… This was sleeping at it's best! The bus was due for school soon, and still in bed he slept. So out came my hidden weapons, that are better than water splashed. I crept quietly up beside him… and here is what I said… If you don't get up I'll release our monstrous, fearless, great cat. He'll jump and walk all over you… before sitting on your head. Then I'll bring in our loud 66 lb lab to lick you everywhere to death. Then I'll bring in our 86lb lab that'll jump up to join you there, instead. Don't be surprised if he stretches out taking up most of the bed. He's really good at pushing with those really good, strong legs so… It won't be long before there's nowhere left but on the floor to sleep. And now let me introduce our 55lb forceful, herding cattle dog. If he can't get you up and going… believe me it can't be done... He'll nip at you gracefully while never leaving a single bite. He's hungry and wants breakfast leftovers before it turns twilight. And me I've reset the alarm. There's no more music left to play. Every five minutes the buzzer will be there just for you, I say. Now I'm going away and you'll notice the smells of bacon, toast, and eggs. And if the dogs are in the kitchen first… it's cold cereal for you this day. And once they get a taste for leaving you far behind… You will have forfeited your place at the table I know they'll think you kind. And when the animals are gone from your bed… Who will protect you while you sleep? Remember there's an 8000 lb dinosaur living in the living room, that I keep… And I know for a fact that he'll come in and drool all over you… He's the problem we all run from…we walk around him every day. And I named him Mr. Report Card… for all the damage he can play. Without him there'll be no Xbox, Play Station, or fancy fishing trips. So get up my sleepy young man… The world is waiting for you today. These are my secret weapons and they work every time… We haven't missed the bus you see… in a very, very long time.
Wake, slumber no more Buzz,buzz, buzz!,join in the buzz Time waits for no man
What Did The 3 Legged Dog Say To The 2 Legged Cat? What an amazing thing to see by any eye. Two creatures on there way home, spoke as if they were from a war zone. All though both were missing parts, they had tremendous heart. Cat, what do they call you? My friends call me 2 Blue. Dog, what do they call you? My friends call me 3 paws. It's a pleasure to meet you. Same here 2Blue. Are you curious? Everybody I meet seems to be. Not really 2 Blue. What rights have I, to say whose whole? Looks to me like you have plenty of soul. Thank you 3 Paws; I would imagine you are quite a dog, with lots of heart and plenty of bark. So, 2 Blue, what's up? Seen any action lately? Not since the alley fight in 2002, when my back was against the wall, and I took a heavy fall. What about you 3 Paw? What's your story? Well, it's a lone one, but I like to keep it short. I was in the dark in 2007, sniffing like I normally do, when guess who? Right! The Rockwilder Brothers jumped me. While running, I slipped on some ice, and they weren't nice with there bites I agree, we all learned our lessons in life. Something's are good, and some aren't so nice. 3 Paw, see you around. 2 Blue, I'll be in town. Dr. "G"
Six months ago, you followed me home, A tiny, black, and blue-eyed gnome It was late in September, I so clearly remember You moved right on in, Made friends with your furry kin – Always alert, in some kind of hurry Just the sight of you would erase any worry That shadowed my mind – Your bright spirit would blind Me to everything but joy, My delightful dear boy! Those short six months you shared With me and cared for me I am so deeply grateful for And now you've passed through Heaven's door I thank you so much and cherish Our time – your gift of joy can never perish I'm so grateful you chose to be My friend – you're forever close to me I sadly, deeply mourn your passing, Yet know your life's a blessing And I'll never, ever regret, Nor can I ever forget The shining joy you always brought You'll live forever in my thought, So I say, Taz, let's celebrate Our love, it'll never abate We'll meet again, This isn't the end – Save a spot in Heaven I know we'll meet again Yes, save a spot for me, my friend, My grief will be soon unleavened So save a spot for me, my friend, We'll meet again in Heaven
A funny thing happened to me just the other day. The friendliest cat came to my door wanting to play. He was meowing like crazy, peering in through the screen, As if calling to someone it'd been a while since he'd seen. I said, "Well, hello little kitty. What is it you want? I've never seen you before. Are you just out for a jaunt?" He was an orange and white Tabby with a depth in his eyes. Of all the cats I've known, he was the most lovable guy. As I petted him gently, he met my every touch. He loved all the attention and just couldn't get enough. I gave him some ham scraps and some water to drink. He gobbled it all up; then was gone in a blink. A few days went by when one night I couldn't sleep. I stepped outside beneath the lamppost on our street. I looked up at the stars as I so often do, And talked to God and loved ones who are up there, too. I thought I'd sure like to see that cute, friendly cat. And right at that moment, he appeared! Just like that! He came out from underneath the cars in our drive, And walked right to me. I couldn't believe my eyes! We were both so overjoyed as if long lost friends Who were finally able to embrace once again. He squirmed with such delight at my every stroke. In his eyes, I saw my friend Teddy—that's no joke. You see, Teddy was my life-long friend who sadly died. I miss him every day and often look for "a sign." I asked the cat, "Are you Teddy?" Our eyes locked in a gaze. Just then, as if answering, he raised one paw to my face. He reached up with his paw and gently touched my chin. It gave me goosebumps because I just knew it was him! In awe, it took me a few moments to take this all in. Then, I said goodbye to my friend, "Hope to see you again." The next morning in the yard he played wild and carefree. He was running and jumping and climbing a tree. That's the last time I saw him—don't know where he could be, Or whom he belongs to, but I sure wish it was me! I wonder, was it Teddy visiting me as a cat? Maybe, just maybe? I'd like to think it was fact. I'd sure love to see "my old lovable new friend," But, seems he's vanished—I haven't seen him since then. If my friend ever does pay me a visit again, I think I might keep him, if it is all right with him.

Iam just zero, not a zest hero. The one, uplifts this none. Made me a valued limitless ton, and as a rising sun.
Perched upon a bed of sand The oceans fury rushes in Flippant sea foam at my feet A misty breeze embraces my skin Tonight I dream of unknown love And cast my wishes one by one Carried out by rolling waves Then captured by the setting sun While gazing at the fading stars I whisper a nightly prayer Please bring me a loving companion With whom my life i'll share I am searching for an honest heart Possessed by a gentle soul Kind, loyal and sincere Someone to make me whole He should be both strong and brave Yet able to express emotion He'll love me through all my faults And give me total devotion I hope that I've not asked too much And that you'll consider my request And with that said, I close my eyes For some much needed rest Feeling the warmth of the breaking sun I awoke with a pleasant surprise Looking down upon me Were a pair of emerald eyes He was all I ever hoped for And so I called him Prince On that day two souls united He's been with me ever since So when it comes to granted wishes I tell you, I am a true believer Cause when I asked for a loving companion God sent me a golden retriever
I still remember that day when you were a kitten, You were so small and fit in my hand like a mitten. I knew when I held you I would raise you, The love I felt was more than true. I was with you at my grandma's till I could take you home, Then the journey of raising you began... We brought you home and I showed you our house, I still remember when you saw your first mouse. You jumped out of my arms and made your attack, I stood there and watched you get your afternoon snack. Then we were deciding on names for you, I just felt something with dexter and knew it was true. I was only 8 and didn't know any better, I did some things that I still regret. I tormented you so bad, Looking back it makes me sad. But I grew up and knew how to take care of you, Even though what I did when I was younger made me feel blue. You grew up so fast, I never thought me and you as buds would last. But it did I'm so proud for that, Because in the end your my cat. Then came the day we would move into a bigger house, But you never again got a hold of a mouse. You were so scared but I took you under my wing. I showed you around the house and you were so happy. I redeemed myself from everything I had done. Things got better between us as the days flew by, The love strong that were flying so high together in the sky. You greet me when I walk through the door, I feel so touched that I fall to the floor. I cherish every second that your on my bed or just saying hi in my room, The smile that's on my face brings a tear that would make flowers bloom. Now your all grown up and still getting older, The temperature in my heart has gotten colder. So cold because I know your time is soon up, I'm struggling to figure out how full is my cup. I only wish you could live longer and we still be together, But we will always be best buds forever.
have you ever had that perfect day? the day when no matter what the world can seem to do no wrong? when everything seems right? savour it i tell you! cherish every last moment of it for tommorow may not be the same, for you see though you may have one good day, many bad days filled with dark emotions shall follow, however you see, even though your in a bad spot, youve had good times, many of them too, and nothing on earth, not evan death can remove them from you, for moments may last a second, but memorys last forever.
There was no one to talk to No letters he could send There was no one for him except His dog - his only friend He came home from his job And started dinner around six He sat down with his pet As she showered him with licks Sometime around eight o'clock The dog began to bark Alerting him that it was time For their walk around the park People passed them by And never said a word No one ever smiled "hello" No kinds words ever heard The dog looked at her owner As if to say, "so what" Who needs any one of them Each other's what we've got" They walked back to the house And started settling for the night They then went up the stairs After he turned out the light He climbed into his bed The dog had followed close behind This was their favorite time of day When they could both unwind He asked the Blessed Mother To protect him and his pet Laid his head down on the pillow All his problems he'd forget He hadn't even realized As he held back a yawn That somehow he'd forgotten That the burner was still on The pilot light went out And fumes were filling up the room The dog had sensed a danger An impending, fearful doom She tried to wake her owner But the man just wouldn't budge All her barking was in vain He wouldn't move upon her nudge Just then a blinding light appeared The Virgin at its core She nodded to the dog And raised a finger toward the door The dog had found the strength To pull her master by the sleeve Dragging him across the floor And out the door to leave Once outside the man awoke His dog right by his side People rushed to tell him That he had nearly died The man could hardly fathom How this tiny, little mutt Had pulled a man ten times her weight Without a scratch or cut As they walked back in the house And passed the statue in the hall The dog had stopped and cocked her head When she heard the Virgin call What the owner didn't know And couldn't see as it unfurled Was Mary reaching out To pet the dog and say, "good girl"
I'm just Lying here thinking Butterfly thoughts, Cradling beauty in my arms, Hummingbirds and Lady lacewings Aflutter lovely in my mind I'm just lying Here, form-fitted To my mattress, goose-down Feathers at my head, Crying in For the joy of it Sparkling snowflake tears Drift softly d o w n melt into petals of clear-pond water lilies afloat on the shiny surface of my newly glistening soul Here is the peaceful place – Here the endless room of rainbows I am home, Welcome home, I Am Home!
Excitement building-Oh, she could feel it, Thousands of people seating themselves, Her mistress had her on the grooming table, Each hair had to be in just the right spot. This was not the first time for her, But something was different tonight, "We have to win this one, my Sweet! You'll be a Champion if we do!" Now they were waiting to enter the ring- Finally, the whistle blew, Trotting around the ring was exhilerating, It always made her nerves stand on edge. The judge was coming to her table, he probed and felt her carefully, Then she trotted up and down for him, "Good!" he said under his breath. Her mistress paled and almost fainted. At last, the judging was finished, She could feel the breathlessness in the air, She was one of those he looked at a second time, The moment of truth was at hand. He pointed at her and said, "She's number one!" The crowd went wild-the cheering exploded, Her mistress hugged her, tears getting her fur wet, As the ribbons were hung around her neck She thought, "Doggie treats tonight--isn't Life fun!"
I'm already ahead and stirring before that fiery Sunrise appears every single morning. I'm quickly catching up to my own waiting for the breaking of this phenomenal day. My coffee will be in my hand right when my thoughts once again start freshly forming! Ah, I'm feeling alive inside and I think I'll just stay right here for each second of today. I glide through my house to stream Sunlight in by pulling every single window shade up, I toast this day pouring my fresh hot brew straight into my scuffed up old-timers tin cup. It's the open window where I see my birds on my oak tree branches singing and playing, I just stand at the open window licking early morning honeydew from my lips and I say, Now this is the most outstanding way to start any God given day with this superb array! There are just so many smelly buttercups blooming out for me to pluck them up to sup! I'm smiling whistling and getting enthusiastic about allowing myself to get carried away, Because I hear my happy little birdies singing their hearts out to me and they're in tune! Let us in! Let us in! They twitter their tweets with chirps, Let us in and we will sing all day long just to be near you. Laughing and giggling at my birdies I am just tickled pink, No way Jose! I can't sing! My silly, silly little birdies, Y'all know my singing stinks. My buzzing bumbling bee hummers away driving at the winds to boot, I holler and holler for that goofy buzzer until I'm just not giving a hoot. So I lift my tin cup up and in my air I toast to a genuine wholeness today, By the open window I whisper to my eternally inspirational four winds of heaven, Forever you may live insde my breaths majestically just as my infallible Sunrays! ® Registered: Ann Rich 2005

Love: His gloved fingers loosely grab the tin cup as he sits slumped over. People pass, barley glancing at the tattered man before them, their faces uncaring. He has no home, no duplex or even apartment to call his own. Tonight he occupies a large box behind a local pizzeria, which sometimes if he is lucky the employees take pity and hand him a sack of three day old pepperoni. He rests his head along him arm, closing his wrinkled eyes before the rain comes. It bounces off his cardboard box fiercely and pools around his naked toes. A veteran for his country, he never thought his life legacy would be this, an empty box laying in an ally. The night drags on with the raging storm, high winds, monstrous bolts of lighting and thunderous booms. Eventually the old man is awaken but not by the pounding rain but a purr. A kitten, merely a few months old has wondered into his lap taking refuge from the storm. Its orange and white fur drips as he shivers, yet his purr echos around the sagging brown walls. He sits upright and cradles the kitten, wondering why it didn't run. Perhaps like himself the small animal only wants a home. Its olive shaped eyes fixate on an empty bag of meat, its heart racing rapidly. The kitten is thin, appearing as though it has never ate. The war vet smiles and slides off his coat, he wraps the kitten gently then grabs his tin cup. Eagerly he shakes, panning for nickles and dimes. He washes windows even wipes away the grime. Never has he worked harder for $8.75 but tonight the man and kitten will eat from a bag that reads pedigree and to him that's just fine. He has made a friend in the most unlikely of places and to him in the most needy of circumstances. Tomorrow the vet will rise and work the cruel streets of New York. He will face ridicule, people glaring in disgust, but he will gladly face it all to provide for his kitten he named Love.
I miss them so my baby pets Their unconditional love But I'm as sure as the sun sets They're happy in Heaven above Watching over me they are Waiting for me to cross That rainbow bridge so very far But still I feel their loss The special way they'd cuddle me That purring in my ear Telling me that I was loved And that I needn't fear When I lost them every one I cried for weeks it seems I really almost came undone They showed up in my dreams But now I know they romp and play With pets of every kind In catnip fields the live-long day So many wonders to find Someday I'll be with them again And they'll leap into my arms No more sadness,no more pain We'll abide in Heaven's charms By Deb Wilson for All Creatures Great And Small Blog Contest sponsored by Constance~A Rambling Poet
Look At That Face! Before I was yours there was a time when I could not go outside. I would stay all day in this concrete cage and the days would pass me by. Many people scuffled through this dark and dusty place; each time they looked but passed me by for a softer, younger face. For three long years, here I'd wait in this cold decrepit place. Just waiting for the day you'd come and say 'Look at that face!' Through all this time I wagged my tail, hoping and believing that someday you would come and see far past my size and wrinkles. At my first home... There, they were nice, until two weeks past and twice my size. They didn't foresee my growth or my playful puppy ways. They didn't account for training, or the messes I might make so here I was left to stay in this cold concrete cage. Until the day you came and said 'Look at that face!' Now here I am today, in this sunny grassy place. I fetch and I obey at the moment that you say. Soon we go inside to the comfy furnished space where you lay down on your bed and I stretch out by your side. You stroke my head, I wag my tail and here we say no more, for here I am today; happy, healthy, and forever home. A Note From The Author:::... I have 4 rescue dogs, one with epilepsy and 2 cats I rescued as strays. I feel the ones who've had a difficult life appreciate and treasure our love more. You'll have a lot to learn about a rescue fur-baby but it's well worth it for the love they give back to you.

Yes, I know, I should be alongside. Age and bad knees dictate that I am inside the cab with a long, green leash so Katie can run close by every morning, for the last seven years in rain, snow and sunshine. She runs in earnest ( can a dog do that ? ) Her tongue is back against her cheek. Her ears scan and sweep and swivel around left and right listening for something ahead or behind as she gallops, trots, saunters, paces at my side. Sometimes in the dark, sometimes, just as the sun is coming up, but always in the morning, when the smells of the deer and elk are still fresh in the grass and the berry bushes along the fence. I love to see her run. I love to hear her run. I can hear the jangle jangle of her tags and her collar -- her leathery, black ears flapping against her head. her breathing and sometimes a snort or puff as her strong, wide paws hit their mark ker-plop, ker-plop. Nails dig into the ground little wisps of grass and dirt, flying. Now, her ears are back over her head and the leathery tips almost touch as her back legs push like a rabbits working in time driving her faster. When the snow is here her feet beat their rhythm in the icy white stuff. Crunch, crunch, crunch, the first marks in the snow, and maybe -- the marks, in line with the truck's tracks, there the next morning. When she stretches all the way out in a full run, her tongue is out -- far out of her mouth, almost lashing against her cheek. Her strong back legs the rounded, hard muscle under the shiny, black coat, push her along and I wonder how all those legs and feet work in synchronization as she concentrates on her task or has her eye on something ahead that she has got to get to now!
The thin gray man pulled his truck to the edge of the greenest part of the field behind the church. He adjusted his cap then carefully unloaded the plastic fences, jumps, marking poles, see-saws, a-frames and the orange traffic cones in the middle of the field. With calculated moves, he had set out the apparatus to prepare his dog for the upcoming trials a short time away. Adjusting each item, checking their position and height just so, pacing off the space between the cones and white stakes measuring here and there to be sure. His black and white Afghan jumped out. The dog followed his signals and moved over and around the folding fences, weaved through the orange cones, jumped the hurdles and got a treat and and encouraging word each time it was right. The rain came suddenly but neither the man nor his dog neglected their duties. The next day, at the same time, almost exactly, he returned. This time with a tall, shiny, black poodle. The routine was a little different. The poodle more advanced, quickly ran the gates and wove its way through the cones. Each received their reward in time. The man, filled with pride. The dogs filled with soft praise and biscuits.
Is this my city? Oh! what a pity. Is this my place? A thought makes my mind race. We walked on roads, without a glance. Now walking on roads, is taking a chance. So many vehicles, so much pollution. Is this real, or is this illution? Where are the trees, where are the birds feathered? All seem to be so endangered. What I see is chaos and commotion. Growing and growing is IT's invation. I wonder if I can get back those days. When clouds looked like flying maze. But here I sit in my cab and gaze. A sight filled with smoky haze. I think and think as my watch goes tick. Who's making my city so sick? I see my land, I see it sink. We have to do something, or we'll loose it in a wink. So lets spread green, and lets all hurry. Before the nature shows its fury. By planting trees again and again. Its not money, its life that we gain. Isn't this a thought, a thought we must ponder. I reach my destination, while I still wonder. Is this my city? Oh! what a pity. Is this my homeland? O God! soon wave your magic wand.

I'm standing here, Staring at my puppy, As he stares back at me, He looks away towards the window, So much air is coming through, I guess he feels the sounds, Instead of hearing them, Just like I do, He's chewing a shoe, I tell him no, But does he listen to me, Not a chance, But when I say, "sit down", Or "lay down boy" in a disapline kind of voice, Then he obey, But why can't he obey for anything else, I feel I'm not there, Like now, Everytime I call him, He thinks someone else is calling him over, Am I really here, Or a spirit that still lives, Because of my puppy, I feel unconcious;
bird in hand friend or foe ? you decide ?
Nothing rhymes with llama Nothing rhymes with lava HEY! Llama and lava rhyme I guess I knew that the whole time When I see a llama, I shout But when I see it not burning in lava, I pout Ok, so that's not true But I'm sitting here quietly with nothing to do...... I just realized that I've never seen a llama in the zoo. I'm really starting to hate llamas now I really wish they would all burn in lava Still not true.... Still with nothing better to do...
Lost in my life everything is a myestery i can not describe what is happening in history for life is not pain going insane when people have life then the time perscribes a wife when world comes to an end then everything goes stright down the drain so time is just a bend for all the soul of the experments of the lain for everyone trys and everyone dies when time just slows down then i hit the ground for everwhere i go i just went really want to show and things will not pass as i go now in the grass
Summer time hits and I feel like s.h.i.t Can't control this feeling inside of me I feel out of place I can't keep up with this race I'm constantly falling backwards Nothings happening Why does this always have to be me I'm just a scared little girl being force to grow up I have to face this world but they've denied me entry and it seems like everyone else has made it everyone knows exactly what to do and here I sit so out of place and I don't know what to do So why do I feel So useless inside It's how you made me feel when my access got denied I got denied the world Everyone keeps telling me I have to do something I can't just sit on my a.s.s and expect things to happen But how am I suppose to make miracles by myself I need your help Why do I feel So alone?
"Ah, there you are, Ladybug" I've been meaning to say. That I've waited around On this hot summers day. You landed right there On top of my thumb "Please stay for a while, For I'm feeling quite glum." "You tickle!" I giggle - A pause in real time - I could sit here forever And I'd feel just fine. So beautiful and tiny A shell that's so red Your little black dots That match your black head. "I love you," I whispered "please never leave." I watched your wings open And you land on my sleeve. "I know that you hear me, Don't fly away home, I don't have a mommy, And I don't have my own." Then the Ladybug did something I found quite strange She fluttered and fluttered As if was in pain. I worried so hard That I started to cry And it got the attention Of a passer-by. "Don't cry little girl," She said very hurt I'll take you home and Knit you a nice shirt." As I got up to leave I glanced back to see If the ladybug died Or was just fast asleep. The Ladybug watched me As I turned to say "Thank you Miss Bug" And she then flew away.
I Still Pray to Thee. I fell out of a tree, Where were you? Did you save me? I awoke yelling your name. I got too close to waters edge, Mommy was right there, Was it you that stopped me? My brother and I, what a pair. The snake was so pretty and fascinating, Thank you Frisky, You were a great loving dog, I was so small, You gave it your all. Swimming in the ocean, The wave knocked her away from me. Somehow I found her. Was it you that helped me? I was such a young, foolish parent, Did you look after me, Lead me in the right direction, Take care of me? Was it you that showed me, What it is like, to be free? That brought me to my knee? I still pray to thee.

Most of my research so far has centered on my mother's side of the family, particularly the surnames of: MUSTAIN, BEEDE, PESCH, LAMBERTSON and WHITE. My father's side of the family includes the surnames of: WILSON, KOFAHL and MCBRIDE. I'm looking for family information on Hugh WHITE, specifically his place of birth and other information before he joined the Union Army at Camp Dennison in Ohio. The information I have indicates he settled in Saint Joseph, Missouri and died there. He was a brick-layer and several buildings are supposed to still bear the mark of Hugh White and Sons. Any information will be gratefully received. I would love to reciprocate in kind and render any assistance that I can. |

In Drosophila melanogaster, the induction of apoptosis requires three closely linked genes, reaper (rpr), head involution defective (hid), and grim. The products of these genes induce apoptosis by activating a caspase pathway. Two very similar Drosophila caspases, DCP-1 and drICE, have been previously identified. We now show that DCP-1 has a substrate specificity that is remarkably similar to those of human caspase 3 and Caenorhabditis elegans CED-3, suggesting that DCP-1 is a death effector caspase. drICE and DCP-1 have similar yet different enzymatic specificities. Although expression of either in cultured cells induces apoptosis, neither protein was able to induce DNA fragmentation in Drosophila SL2 cells. Ectopic expression of a truncated form of dcp-1 (DeltaN-dcp-1) in the developing Drosophila retina under an eye-specific promoter resulted in a small and rough eye phenotype, whereas expression of the full-length dcp-1 (fl-dcp-1) had little effect. On the other hand, expression of either full-length drICE (fl-drICE) or truncated drICE (DeltaN-drICE) in the retina showed no obvious eye phenotype. Although active DCP-1 protein cleaves full-length DCP-1 and full-length drICE in vitro, GMR-DeltaN-dcp-1 did not enhance the eye phenotype of GMR-fl-dcp-1 or GMR-fl-drICE flies. Significantly, GMR-rpr and GMR-grim, but not GMR-hid, dramatically enhanced the eye phenotype of GMR-fl-dcp-1 flies. These results indicate that Reaper and Grim, but not HID, can activate DCP-1 in vivo.

Motorcyclist sustains major injuries in single-vehicle Valley Center crashSunday, July 14th, 2013 Issue 28, Volume 17.
A witness called for help shortly before 2 p.m. and reported the motorcycle down in the roadway on Old Castle Road near Mauka Drive, according to the California Highway Patrol. The rider was taken by ambulance to a hospital, according to Cal Fire. A tow truck was called for the wrecked motorcycle and the roadway was cleared shortly before 2:30 p.m., the CHP said. 9 comments
We have been notified that the motorcyclist had since died at Palomar Hospital! .
Jeez....4th death in a little over a year. I drive that road very frequently...and 55 mph seems a bit fast for that stretch.
Aw that makes me sad. My boys and I stayed with him til the ambulance arrived. My oldest talked to him a little bit. This is gonna break his heart. :-(
This is apparently very near the location of a July 28, 2012 motorcyclist death. I would be interested in CHP view of common factors in the two crashes. Is there an issue county roads should be looking at?
I think drivers think the road goes on straight if they look straight ahead from a distance, not realizing the upcoming tight corner, although the sign for a bend to the left is there. Speed and or under the influence, driving are most likely in these cases. Very sad just the same. A stop sign halfway along the straight, just to get the traffic to stop, for a while, or speed bumps should fix the problem. I have people tailgating me and overtaking me on the double yellow lines all the time.
Aw..so terribly sad. Old Castle has tons of accidents and the other people are correct, they tailgate you and pass on double lines constantly if yr're going the correct speed SO....I hardly ever seen sheriff or police on that road and I travel it 4 times daily too...what's up with that? Oh, also they are usually on their cells doing all this. This can all be prevented with some cars patroling this area. Lets save some lives here, could be a baby or youngsters next with their whole lives ahead of them.
Another motorcycle fatality -- there's about one a day in the county. It's a very dangerous way to travel even if unsafe riding is not a factor.
Any new updates?? My fellow letter carriers that ride motorcycles are wondering
This is getting crazy .... 2012 we had the motorcyle death here on Mauka and Old Castle "RIP". Then earlier this month we had an elderly couple who walked up and down Old Castle for many years that were hit and killed near Mauka and Old Castle "RIP" they were hit by a drunk driver at 6 am in the morning... Then this new motorcylce accident was just a week after the elderly couple were hit and killed and in the same area as the memorial is for the elderly couple... I hear this man has passed away... "RIP" AND... wait... there is still more..... Just yesterday someone hit two telephone poles on Mauka and Old Castle and knock one totally down... SDE@G were here replacing poles and connecting wires all after noon... what is so weird is were these accidents are happening it's a straight road no curves on Old Castle there...

IBF junior welterweight champion Lamont Peterson has signed for a second time with Golden Boy Promotions.
At a press conference held in Washington DC on Monday, Golden Boy President Oscar De La Hoya revealed that the 29-year-old - who has only one professional loss to his name - will be joining the stable once more.
"We are thrilled that Lamont Peterson will be joining Golden Boy Promotions. We know firsthand what Lamont Peterson can do, as he's been in the ring with our fighters Amir Khan and Victor Ortiz. We know that he is the kind of individual that will be an asset to our team and great competitor in the 140-pound weight class."
It came as something of a surprise since Peterson has a coloured history with another Golden Boy fighter - Amir Khan - who he controversially beat in December 2011.
Nevertheless, the DC local was visibly happy to work with De La Hoya again.
"We boxers are always trying to please our fans. We want to give them the best fights we can. In order to do that one needs to have the best promoter in the market so you can get the best fights you can."
Andre Johnson, a Peterson spokesman, is certain that the new deal with Golden Boy will be a good opportunity for his client to move on from the failed drugs test which saw him lose the title he won against Khan in 2011.
"We were with Golden Boy and they released us from our contract prior to the fight with Victor Cayo," Johnson said.
"When we won the Cayo fight it forced the mandatory with Amir Khan. It was a fight that no one gave us a chance of winning, so much so that they even staged the fight in Lamont's hometown. That's how confident they were that Khan would win. So when we won that fight, which they thought we never could, total hell broke out and everything surrounding it.
"So now, now it's very interesting. We have the IBF. Danny Garcia still has the WBC and WBA. Amir Khan, Danny Garcia, Zab Judah, Lucas Matthysse-I mean this is a packed weight class where all these guys can fight round robins and it won't be any problem because they all have the same promoter. This gives Lamont the opportunity to make the fights he wants to make in the weight class he's in, and Golden Boy has the most fighters with names, where he can get the biggest purses and actually fight the best at 140, which is something he really wants to do.
"This is a decision he made. One thing about Lamont, he is very capable. He understands this business. He's very skilled and knowledgeable. He understood what this decision meant, why it was significant that he do this, what it means to his career, and he thought about it long and hard. The negotiations happened at the end of the year, and I'll be honest, there was an opportunity for him to take a fight with Golden Boy right away. But because of the kind of individual he is, he wanted to honor his commitment to the IBF, even though he's not going to make a great deal of money fighting Kendall Holt. But that's the right thing to do, and that's the kind of guy we're talking about."

G*ddamn cars
April 28th, 2013Well, it's been a while since I last posted anything here.
First, I've been off work due to an injury. don't know if I'll get back to work before school ends.
Next, I dropped a grand on the car to get a bunch of stuff fixed. Sheesh! Now, I tried to reprogram my key fob so I don't have to screw around with the key but no luck so far. Yeah, I tried the "get into the car, close door, turn key to on and back to off 8 times leaving it ON." I didn't get the locks to cycle so I don't know what's going on.
Other than that, nothing real new on this end.

Next year could be a good time for car insurance customers who want policy discounts and are willing to ask for them.
At the same time, more drivers may scale back their coverage in 2011 by pinching pennies, a decision that could have major consequences.
Insurance experts say those developments are likely to be part of the five biggest car insurance trends for the coming year.
Auto insurance markets in many areas of the country are soft because of the economy, says Ryan Hanley, an insurance broker with the Guilderland Agency in Albany, N.Y.
As a result, companies are competing for fewer customers, which has kept premiums low or stable, he says.
"Insurance companies will be spending more money next year to reach their desired customers," Hanley says.
The trend for 2011 is for premiums to continue to remain competitive, Hanley says. You can take advantage of insurers' moderate rates this year by shopping around for the best car insurance deal.
In general, get at least three different auto insurance quotes before making a decision on a company, says Alex Hageli, director of personal lines policy for the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America (PCI), a Des Plaines, Ill., trade group.
Companies will continue to offer discounts and incentives in 2011 - such as a premium refunds or diminishing deductibles to existing consumers who remain claim-free, Hanley says.
"Pay as you drive" insurance policies are among the discount plans most likely to grow in popularity next year. These policies offer drivers a premium based primarily on the number of miles they drive each year. This can lead to big savings for people who drive relatively few miles.
"Pay as you drive" is a fairly new industry product, but mileage-based insurance is growing in states such as California and Texas.
"I see more companies starting to collect mileage information and incorporating it into their insurance products," Hageli says. "It's the next big thing."
Insurers offering these policies have different ways to determine how many miles consumers are driving. Some companies place a device in the policyholder's car. It collects driving information, and is then uploaded to the insurer, Hageli says.
Other providers review mileage readings from annual inspections to determine how many miles a policyholder has driven in a year.
Although mileage-based insurance is increasing, it won't replace traditional insurance anytime soon, Hageli says. Other factors that go into figuring a policyholder's premium - such as age, gender and marital status - remain important, he says.
If you plan to drive fewer miles in 2011 than you had in previous years, contact your insurance company and see if it offers a mileage-based policy. It could result in hundreds of dollars in premium savings, Hageli says.
Another trend in car insurance is that companies are offering more benefits, such as a premium refunds or diminishing deductibles, to existing consumers who remain claim-free, says Hanley.
Because of the sluggish economy, insurance companies will try to take more market share at the expense of weaker, smaller insurers, Hanley says. They will do this by offering more incentives, such as accident forgiveness, he says.
The best way to benefit from this trend is to not get in an accident, says Hanley. This year, if don't have to file a claim, ask your insurance company if they offer "accident-free" incentives.
Some insurance companies are making it easier to use your smart phone to do everything from buying insurance to filing an accident claim. Exactly what you can do varies based on the type of phone you have and your auto insurance provider.
A survey by USAA found that many consumers don't check insurance costs before buying a vehicle, says Bob Otis, USAA's assistant vice president for integrated solutions. Now, members with an existing USAA auto insurance policy "can compare insurance costs for different makes and models while at the dealership using Auto Circle through the USAA Mobile app on their iPhone or Android phones."
They can also use the application to add the new vehicle to their insurance policy.
With the Progressive iPhone app, customers can do everything from pay their bill to file an accident claim to get an insurance quote for cars, motorcycles or recreation vehicles. GEICO's GloveBox app operates on BlackBerry, Windows Phone 7, iPhone and iPad, and allows customers to do things like pay bills, access insurance identification cards, and get assistance in case of an accident.
Until the economy improves, one disturbing industry trend is likely to continue - more consumers cutting back on insurance because they don't think they can afford an adequate policy.
"I have seen people getting less coverage in order to have more money to pay their other bills," Hanley says.
Consumers must set their own spending priorities, but being underinsured can come back to haunt you if you are in a car accident.
Drivers who scale back coverage may not have enough insurance to cover damages and injuries after an accident, Hanley says. Underinsured drivers who are at fault could put their assets at risk if they are sued.
Consumers who do their research and compare auto insurance quotes can find a provider offering adequate coverage that doesn't bust the budget, he says.
