German Automaker Releases Luxury Hybrid Model
German luxury carmaker Daimler released their first hybrid model last week, 10 years after Toyota debuted their best selling hybrid.
The Mercedes Benz S Class is now available in Europe with two motor options: electric and gasoline.
The "CO2 champion of luxury cars," as Mercedes calls it, is still one of the worst polluters available. However, a spokesman noted that, "We want to launch at least one hybrid model per year."
This is an unusual move for the German automaker, which normally makes large, powerful cars by Mercedes, Porsche, BMW and Audi.
However, as green cars grow in popularity, Porsche is planning to release a hybrid version of its Cayenne sports utility vehicle in 2010, and BMW is arranging to release a hybrid model from its Series 7 line this year, though it is "too early to speak of full distribution," states to a BMW spokeswoman.
Gerd Lottspiesen from the environmental association VCD said to AFP that the German carmaker "has been asleep for several years."
"It repeatedly dismissed hybrids. If it is finally waking up, it's pretty late" measured up to against Toyota, which released the first hybrid Prius model a decade ago. Lexus, Toyota's luxury line, has sold hybrids for four years now.
"For years, the German automobile sector did not believe hybrids had a chance … but at a certain point, under market pressure, the industry changed its mind," said Stefan Bratzel, professor at an auto center."
Since German automakers usually focus on diesel cars, they conquer the German market, while hybrids make up only 0.2% of the market last year.
Even though the majority of Germans remain attached to national brands, they could switch over if domestic hybrid models if they became more accessible.
"The environmental trend is becoming dominant," noted Frank Schwope, an auto analyst at NordLB bank.
In the past, Daimler has been one of the most opposed to the environmental movement. However, recently Daimler has started to increase their efforts in the area.
They recently purchased a battery company and has a 10% venture in the US electric carmaker Tesla.

A well trained dog is a happy dog!
Dog training is simple, but it's not easy! Time, patience and consistency are the keys to a well trained dog. In deciding what to train, the possibilities are endless, but some behaviors may be more useful than others. In this three part series, we examine six key behaviors that, when mastered, help make for a harmonious relationship between dog and owner. In part one, we explored the art of proper recreational chewing and the ability to quickly get your dog's attention using his name. Today we look at the important skill of being alone as well as why it's beneficial to develop play skills in your dog.
How to be Alone – Dogs are extremely social animals; it's a huge part of what makes them wonderful companions for humans. We want to spend as much time as possible with our canine friends, but it's important that they also learn how to be alone. Being alone isn't a skill that comes naturally to dogs.
Teach your puppy or adult dog to be relaxed and confident when crated, x-penned or behind a baby gate while away from the rest of the family. Practice often for short periods of time in the beginning, gradually extending the amount of time your dog spends by himself. Leave him with something interesting to do – like work to extract his breakfast from a Buster Cube or similar food puzzle toy. Return periodically to reward (calm praise, petting and a treat) quiet, relaxed behavior, and remember never to let him out if he's making a fuss. If your dog launches into a full blown panic attack when left alone, contact a qualified trainer or applied animal behaviorist who can help you create and implement a systematic desensitization and classical conditioning program.
"There is clearly a social benefit resulting from play between dogs and their humans. One of the reasons dogs hold their lofty position as Man's (or Woman's) Best Friend, is that they share our joy of playing. While most species romp and play as juveniles, dogs and humans are among the few who continue to play enthusiastically into old age."

Google accepting censorship requests
May 30, 2014 11:36 PMSAN FRANCISCO -- Google is accepting requests from Europeans who want to erase unflattering information from the results produced by the world's dominant search engine.
The demands can be submitted on a Web page Google opened late Thursday in response to a landmark ruling issued two weeks ago by Europe's highest court.
More than 12,000 requests to remove personal data were submitted within the first 24 hours after Google posted the forms, according to the company. At one point Friday, Google was getting 20 requests per minute.
Under the recent court decision, Europeans can now polish their online reputations by petitioning Google and other search engines to remove potentially damaging links to newspaper articles and other websites with embarrassing information about their past activities.
Google now finds itself in the prickly position of having to balance privacy concerns and "the right to be forgotten" against the principles of free expression and "the right to know."
It will also create a divide between how Google generates search results about some people in Europe and the rest of the world. For now at least, Google will only scrub personal information spanning a 32-nation swath in Europe. That means Googling the same person in the United States and dozens of other countries could look much different than it does from Europe.
Although the court ruling applied only to 28 nations in the European Union, Google is extending the "right to be forgotten" to four others -- Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. More than 500 million people live in the area affected by Google's potential purge of personal information.
It's unclear when the whitewashing will begin. So far, Google has only said it will happen soon. First, though, the Mountain View, Calif., company is trying to establish some guidelines to steer its censorship decisions.
Imposing more limitations on what kind of personal information Google and other search engines can show in Europe has raised fears about the censorship. For instance, politicians might be able to block damaging information from showing up in search results. Other critics of the ruling have warned that even pedophiles might be able to delete past convictions from their results.
Supporters of the European court ruling, though, argue that people should be able to remove some information about youthful indiscretions, financial missteps and arrests that never resulted in convictions.
Google says that whenever it scrubs personal data from its European search results, it will include a notice about some links being omitted, just as it has previously done when laws in countries such as China have required the company to censor data.

Latest from Brussels
Stalemate in Brussels as EU fails to agree budget
Cameron claims victory over defence of UK's €3.6bn rebate but is accused of blackmail
Saturday 24 November 2012
The European Union was in disarray tonight after its 27 leaders failed to reach agreement on a new €970bn budget at a two-day summit which collapsed amid acrimony.
David Cameron was accused of trying to "blackmail" other EU leaders but he was not the only stumbling block to a deal for 2014-20 and did not need to wield his veto. Crucially, there was no agreement between France, anxious to preserve farm subsidies, and Germany, which backed Britain's call for deeper EU spending cuts along with the Netherlands and Sweden.
At a Brussels press conference, Mr Cameron fired another broadside at EU bodies after he failed to win cuts in the administration budget. "EU institutions simply have to adjust to the real world. Brussels continues to exist as if it is in a parallel universe," he said. He complained that "not a single euro" of savings from the generous pay and perks of Brussels officials had been proposed, which was "insulting to European taxpayers."
The Prime Minister, who argued for cuts of about €50bn over the seven-year budget period, said Britain and its allies had "stopped what would have been an unacceptable deal".
He also preserved Britain's €3.6bn-a-year rebate on its EU contributions, which came under attack from several countries. Mr Cameron claimed that he had seen off an attempt to isolate the UK by uniting all the other 26 EU members against it. Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, halted that idea in its tracks.
European leaders will resume talks on the budget early next year. To retain Germany's support, Mr Cameron will be under pressure to approve plans for banking union in the eurozone at another EU summit next month.
The Prime Minister again raised the prospect of a referendum on Britain's relationship with the EU. He said the "new settlement" that would follow the euro crisis would bring opportunities for "new consent," adding: "I support our membership of the EU but I don't support the status quo."
British officials blamed the summit's collapse on the negotiating strategy of Herman van Rompuy, who chaired the talks as President of the European Council. One claimed he had botched it, making little progress in his one-to-one talks with individual leaders and restricting the scope for discussion between the 27 leaders.
Brussels sources hit back, saying there was an unbridgeable gap among countries who are net contributors to the EU budget –notably France and Germany. Mr Van Rompuy tried to reach a compromise by switching money from investment projects to farm subsidies and grants to poor regions but failed to build momentum towards a deal.
Dismissing Mr Cameron's latest attack on the Brussels bureaucracy, sources insisted Mr Van Rompuy and Jose Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission, did not have a veto on the budget. They said administration accounted for only 6 per cent of EU spending, that €6bn had been cut since 2004 and staffing was being reduced by 5 per cent.
François Hollande, the President of France, said: "At past budget summits we tended to see an alliance between France, Germany and Britain to reduce the size of it. The fact there was a change in May [with his election as President] meant our positions were not as unanimous. Today the most uncompromising [countries] are talking about [cuts of] €30bn. These are not insurmountable amounts."
Hannes Swoboda, president of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats which includes Labour MEPs, said: "It is unacceptable that the majority of member countries are letting themselves be blackmailed by David Cameron who is permanently threatening to block progress in the EU. The British Prime Minister, who is considering leading the UK out of the EU, is having more impact on the future of the EU than those who are committed to strengthening the EU and fulfilling their obligations."
Guy Verhofstadt, a former Belgian Prime Minister and leader of the European Parliament group that includes the British Liberal Democrats, said the UK rebate should be abolished. He said: "It is not necessary to isolate Cameron. He isolates himself."
Ed Balls, the shadow Chancellor, said: "David Cameron has failed to persuade other European leaders to deliver the reform of and real-terms cut in the budget which MPs voted for. He is increasingly weak and isolated in Europe, just as he is at home."

The lights are on
I thought it best to make a guide and try to help people obtain the 2 Caravan achievements/trophies in New Vegas. In order to obtain "Caravan Master" you have to win 30 games of Caravan (Note: Caravan is not fun IMO and I doubt you will enjoy it, do yourself a favor and only play it for the achievements/trophies).
Anyways, My strategy for Caravan is to load my deck (of which should be exactly 30 cards) full of 5s, 6s, 7s, and 8s. If you run out of those use Jokers until you hit 30. If you didn't know the objective is to make all three stacks (or "Caravans") reach between 21 and 26. Well, 5+6+7+8=26. You have to put the cards in either ascending or descending order. When you get all "Caravans" close to 26 you should win. I say should because I'm not entirely sure what the win system is in New Vegas.
Now, that is my strategy. If you believe you have a better one, feel free to message me and I will update the guide. If you have any trouble message me and I might be able to help you. Anyways, good luck and happy hunting.

Recent Forest Beach Reviews
Great place even more awesome owners
We have been vacationing in HHI since I was in elementary school (i.e. well over 30 years) and each time I remember why I love it so much! The house was great, just what we needed for our family! It is just as the owner's say, very close to the beach on a closed road with easy access to the beach. The beach area was in between to busy areas, so it was like having an ENTIRE beach to yourself. Everything listed is acurate. Coligy Plaza is a mile away on a great bike path. The house is near the end of the road, which mean little traffic. The owners were great to work with and very easy to communicate with. Two thumbs up!
Perfect! Forest Galore Setting!
Nicely lay out of ranch style living. Plenty of space to roam around. Rooms are nice sizes. TV's in every room even the sun porch! Laundry room is nice and big. You have all the amities of home and more. Very clean and well kept. Owner was always reachable and provided excellent service whenever we needed it. Plenty of windows for cross ventilation and beautiful breezes. Outside backyard is like a forest adventure. Plenty of trees and beautiful birds singing their songs. A well placed hammock that in fact did see a lot of use! Easy walk to beach and great paths for biking. A little secret every morning around 7:30 am to about 9:00 am if you head down to the Crown Plaza Access (left on beach about a 10 minute walk) you will be greeted by an "Unofficial Dog Play Beach Time". Out little "Noah" loved this part and boy did he have a blast… meeting about 20/30 dogs a day. If you do go with or w/o dog you will be happy you did! Say hello to "Jake" (white golden retriever) he is the "Mayor" of the dog park! Tell him "Noah" from NJ says "Woof"! A great place. We will be back!!!

Current Time
Concierge.com's insider take:
Located off busy Blaha Lujza tér, the Atrium Fashion Hotel is one of the first design hotels in Pest, the gritty eastern half of Budapest that's home to a surprisingly hip design and fashion scene. The hotel is a popular stop for business travelers on a budget (there's free Wi-Fi) as well as for young couples and partiers in town for rock concerts and raves. Many of the hotel's 57 rooms, which were converted from former apartments and are dressed in unfussy modern decor, are on the small side (expect about 300 square feet). But rates top out at about $200 in high season, including buffet breakfast, and the architecture makes clever use of space: Toiletry shelves were set into the bathroom walls when possible; the layout of each room works with its original footprint. Downstairs, the Atrium Bar and Café has a cool vibe you might expect from a bar in Copenhagen or Amsterdam.—Evan Rail

Linux Product Insider
This week's "Linux Product Insider" features SkyWayUSA's Rural Hi-speed Internet, Apress' MINDSTORMS NXT book, Curl Nitro, Open-Source Java and Linux, SugarCRM 5.1 Beta and Plat'Home's OpenMicroServer.
Here this week's Linux product news:
SkyWayUSA's Satellite Internet Service
Because America is so darn big, it is often uneconomical to provide cabled high-speed Internet in rural areas. To help close this urban-rural digital divide, SkyWay USA has developed a high-speed Internet service that is reputedly "more reliable than the more expensive competitors" since it is based on a combination of satellite-landline-cellular technologies. The technology was developed by two brothers in rural Kentucky and, rather than a full-fledged satellite dish, utilizes a simpler receive-only device and a "SkyBeeper", which emits a high-pitched tone as the homeowner points the dish antenna at the satellite. There's no software to load, and the service works well with Linux, MacOS and Windows. SkyWay USA says that their service not only eliminates rain fade but can also be installed easily by anyone. Service plans start at $29.95 per month
Creating Cool MINDSTORMS NXT Robots by Daniele Benedettelli (Apress)
What a joy that the companies that publish great Linux and open-source books love to go off on fun tangents. A perfect example is Apress and its Lego MINDSTORMS books, the latest of which is Creating Cool MINDSTORMS NXT Robots by Daniele Benedettelli. Guided by "one of the world's most respected NXT robot builders", this book shows readers how to build and program from scratch seven different MINDSTORMS NXT robots, ranging in difficulty from basic to challenging.

In a bid to out-do Adobe AIR, Curl has released a beta version of Curl Nitro, the code name for an extension of Curl Rich Internet Application (RIA) platform. Curl says that the Nitro extension "simplifies the process of installing and managing Curl applications accessed via a browser as well as directly from the desktop" and that it is "the only platform for both traditional RIA and Desktop RIA that provides enterprise-level security, high performance and support for large data sets." Nitro offers the essential capabilities of the Desktop 2.0 Client such as support for rich user interfaces, complex application logic, and agile development, which is possible due to new features such as applet installer and desktop controls, a client-side database, demo applets and a new desktop security model. This extension of RIA allows users to take their applications off-line, to work when disconnected and to move their primary work environment from the browser back to the desktop. Curl Nitro supports, Linux, Mac and Windows.
Open-Source Java in Fedora and Ubuntu
Sun continues to nicely open source itself, with the latest inititiave being the inclusion of OpenJDK-based implementations in Fedora 9 and Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server and Desktop editions. The company says that the move is aimed at "furthering the promise of Sun's open source Java technology initiative." The goal is to enables developers to count on free software implementations based on Java technology as a standard element of an open source developer stack that they can leverage to build Web-based applications of all types. Sun also announced that its NetBeans 6.0 Integrated Development Environment is now part of the Ubuntu 8.04 LTS release and that Canonical has certified the Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server Edition on several Sun x86 systems.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

St. Clare Home is a 47 bed skilled nursing facility nestled in the heart of downtown Newport, RI. It is an agency of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence, and as such its mission is to improve the quality of life for family and community through care and service. Not only are the residents and their families considered during fulfilling this mission, but the employees and the greater community at large are as well.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
my day to day work life. Our employees work tirelessly to provide excellent care and services to the frail elderly that reside with us.
More feedback...
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
that I get to meet wonderful people everyday who have worked hard at remaining independent. These frail elders and their families are a wealth of knowledge and grace.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
absolutely wonderful. They are dedicated individuals who care about providing the best, most compassionate care possible.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Expand it's programming and services in a community that currently is lacking in a continuum of elder care services.

My vote and response:
The value of PS+ has gotten so crazy in the last year and half that you should already have it. Especially if you have a Vita as well. I've been really surprised at how few games I buy now that new ones are getting dumped in my lap every week with this subscription.
I picked the joke choice because having joke choices always make polls pointless and stupid.
As for the question, I think it really sucks and is a big thing that now has me questioning on getting a PS4 as quickly as I otherwise would have. I'm a pc guy first and foremost so the idea of needing to pay a monthly fee for a thing that just sits in a corner for weeks at a time never being used makes me not want the stupid thing and is the main reason I have not touched my 360 in years. It means when I see a game that looks like it might have a neat online aspect I will just not pay attention to it because I know that I won't be paying this monthly fee so I will never get to play it. Effectively making half the game unusable by me and making it so that the single player needs to be that much more enticing to make me want to buy half a game for $60.
Not to mention I just think it's revolting to expect people to pay even more fucking fees to unlock the other half of a games features that they just spent $60 on, and to use the internet they are already getting bent over a barrel for by ISP's. If they go all in like xbox live and lock any feature on the platform worth using behind this paywall I think I'm just going to skip consoles this time around. It's insulting to lock stuff behind a paywall that you get for free on the PC by opening a browser or launching an app on your phone. It just stinks of them grabbing for money from people because they know enough people will just burn $50 a year just to not have to deal with the hassle of it.
@crusader8463: Isn't it a staple in GiantBomb polls to have the one stupid option that is completely unrelated to the rest?
I'm already a PS+ member because of all of the ridiculous perks and deals that Sony gives away with that service, so it doesn't bother me. I think anybody who thought online multiplayer would still be free was dreaming, to be honest. I still understand if people don't have PS+ and don't really see the value and are therefore upset about it, but, hey guys, if you play a Sony console (or handheld), you should really go get PS+. It's totally worth it.
As someone who has enjoyed the bounty that being a Plus subscriber has given over the last few years, I have no plan to stop subscribing, so this doesn't bother me, but it is kind of a bummer that they decided to go that way.
At the same time, if this means Sony has beefed up the online capabilities of the PS4 enough to justify asking people to pay for it, so much the better.
I already have PS+ and think it's great, so while I'm not happy about it it won't affect me...probably. My only fear is since you need it for multiplayer anyway they might get lazy with the free games, but hopefully Microsoft offering the same will put that pressure back on them.
I think it's intelligently priced and really adds value to owning a Sony games console.
Kind of a bummer but I already pay for plus so it won't actually affect me at all.
Obviously it would be nice to be able to play for free, but it comes with all the existing PlayStation Plus perks, so it's not that big a deal. I don't really play many games online as it is though.
Already answered this before, but I'll do it again. It would have been nice if it had remained free, but given what I am being offered I can live with it.
Although it probably will affect how much I actually play online multiplayer. It's unlikely I will subscribe to PS+ all year, since I don't game online that much, so I'll probably treat it like Netflix and only do it when there is a particular game I want to play online or PS+ offers something particularly noteworthy. That will largely eliminate just randomly picking up a game and playing online on a whim though.
Not a huge loss for me personally, but it will affect me somewhat.
I plan to get both systems, so that sucks. XBL is worth the money and I'll be getting BF4 and DR3 (which hopefully has co-op) this year. Killzone has always been boring and I'm not into racing games, so I don't see the point in paying immediately. Sony has no fun online multiplayer games like MS has Halo, Gears, and now Titan. If Infamous somehow has co-op then I'd consider it.
i hate it as much as i hated it when ms did it. the only positive thing i can think about it is that ps+ pays for itself via discounts and free games, but im still a little crossed even though it will not affect me.
the multiplayer that the rest of the "features" ps+ gives like cloud save and what not should be free and build in.
i understand why they did it. but still this should not be a requirement.
but i have a question since i have not paid that much attention to it all but, did they say anything about the ps4 be region free
@deathstriker how is xbl gold worth the money? as far as i know the only thing you get is a few features that should be free and multiplayer, atleast with ps+ you get a bunch of discounts and free games.
im not slagging it, i just dont understand it and would not mind your imput.
and with the games, well the console is not even out so lets put a pin in that. but titanfall looked amazing
I don't care... And for a more precise answer, I wouldn't subscribe to it just for the multiplayer, as all my multiplayer gaming seems to happen on the PC only for the last few years. But I am already a PS+ subscriber, and plan to keep it this way, for the other benefits... Heck my PS+ subscription was the thing which finally "pushed" me to buy a Vita (main reason of course P4G) but all the games I got via my subscription where a nice incentive...
YAY! You didn't forget the Green Ranger.
I'll vote for you next election! :P
But, as you already knew, I really don't care much. Kinda sad, maybe? buuut like, I dunno. It's 3 cups of coffee and a piece of toast that I'll have to survive without for like.. a day :P
I'm kind of between "I don't care" and "I wish it wasn't there, but it doesn't bother me that much." I voted for the latter.
I'm already a PSN+ member for the "free" games every month. I'll be happy to continue paying for that feature so Sony putting MP behind a paywall won't affect me unless of course I cancel my membership. I'm really glad they aren't putting Netflix behind that wall like XBL.
@grillbar It's worth the money because Xbox Live's online features are consistently good, whereas the online features on PSN aren't good at all and the quality of online play and matchmaking are wildly inconsistent, ranging from excellent in the games Sony publishes to crappy in most other publishers' games. Xbox Live is a standardized service that works pretty well, and Sony, as far as I can tell, just leaves online service up to their publishers and PSN is only a means for players to have access to those services. I'm glad that Sony's charging for online play because now they have to justify that by building an infrastructure comparable to Xbox Live, instead of doing what they were doing before: excusing their deficiencies by falling back on "...but it's free."
@chrissedoff i have had no problems what so over with sony on that part but then again i did not try thr 360 so i have nothing to compare it with. but you sound like you know what your talking about so ill take that as fact. thx for your imput.
@zeik thx dude thats great to hear, at least that means ill be saving about $30 pr game by importing it with day one delivery instead of venturing out my door to the local store and get raped by our insane prices
I had to force myself to get PS+ and my only regret was not getting it sooner, so throwing multiplayer behind the best goddamn paid gaming service ever isn't even a concern. At this point, if you own a PS3, Vita, or both but don't have PS+, you need to get PS+ right the fuck now.
Ehhhh at first it seems shitty but then again I hated all their online infrastructure when it was free so maybe this will be a case of "you get what you pay for", in which case I will happily pay them $50 a year to keep their servers running smoothly. Still unsure if I will be getting a PS4 yet but if I do PS+ seems like a good deal to me. Unless they have the same shitty servers they had with the PS3 in which case I will be pissed as shit.
I was hoping Sony would do this as it will force a lot of people over that line to get PS+. My hope is that more PS+ users, means more money, which means more/better/recent free games and other content or discounts.
I can envision Sony giving 10% off for their digital versions if you are PS+ and maybe convincing other publishers to do something similar.
Plus now there is an expectation that Sony will provide quality online service, the excuse of it being free won't cut it anymore.
servers are hella expensive to run,
the value add to PS plus more than makes up for it, and they aren't hiding other sub services behind a pay wall like MS,
everyone who complains about this is either a literal child/teenager who doesn't understand how business works or is an uneducated ignorant adult.
I very rarely play multiplayer games, so it doesn't bother me. I'll have a Plus membership anyways so again, doesn't really affect me.
I want a combination of I wish it wasn't there, but it doesn't bother me that much and Gives me the perfect excuse to become a member.
I love PS+ so *shrug*
But I voted "Green Ranger 2016" for the funny.
*looking at the poll it seems like 9% are outright negative about it, so that sounds like the results of the old poll*
Although I already have PS Plus and don't really mind, it sucks for people who don't have it but want to play multiplayer games. Still, I would advocate for having PS Plus regardless since it's a great service.
[X] I already have a Sony console and would be an idiot for not already having PS+
Now that there is a price attached to multi-player, I feel we have much better ground to stand on as a consumer to complain about bad download speeds, matchmaking, network time-outs, servers shutting down etc.
I feel for kids who have to explain to their parents why they need another 50 bucks, but then again, the amount of high quality free-to-play titles wasn't around when I was a kid. Nor the variety of smaller indie games, Humble Bundles and so on. Ps+ is good enough on it's own, if including multi-player without skyrocketing the price yet improving the online experience, I'm actually in favor of it.
If they give us a tighter service like live has done for the most part then I'm fine with it. If the multiplayer service is like it was this generation then I might have a problem with it but PS+ is still a fantastic deal regardless and Sony is doing the right things with free to play and media services. I was a Xbox guy for the last two generations but got PS+ last year when the free games started happening and just bought another year today.
It bothers me a little but it clearly has to be done to keep servers going and stuff. As long as they keep releasing free games on PS+ I will not complain. Getting Deus Ex: Human Revolution and XCOM: Enemy Unknown this month is a fantastic value. Sure it's a little disappointing they are putting multiplayer behind a paywall, but at least all of the other services wont be stuck behind there like Xbox Live.
I voted "I'm happy I have to pay." Although that doesn't capture my stance at all. I'm okay with a fee as long as they use to it improve their network, store, download speeds. I'm also hoping it reduces the number of idiots shouting into their mics during multiplayer matches since its no longer free, although that hasn't worked with Xbox Live.
It doesn't bother me.
PS+ was already a hell of a deal to begin with, so putting multiplayer behind it isn't that big of an issue. I think it's a pretty safe bet to assume that if you have a PS3 or Vita right now, chances are that you are either already a PS+ member or were thinking about becoming one. This is really just a way of pushing people on the fence over the side.
Not to mention that extra money coming in will help alot with maintaining servers and online services and such which they had no possibility of doing before. Paying money for something sucks (you can't beat free), but I think this is a good thing actually that will (hopefully) solve most, if not all, of the problems that Sony has had with online stuff in the past.
It's fine. They're obviously going to have online comparable to X-Box Live, so whatever.
It doesn't affect me that much. The value/price ratio of plus is so high already that I would still be subscribed even if they didn't require it.
Besides, given the alternatives (online passes, always-online architecture, UI full of ads, etc), I believe less than $5 a month is a pretty fair price.
Very constructive. Other motherfucker is reserved for people like you who doesn't feel like his or her opinion is accurately reflected on the options given. Unless you're just saying to be a dick.
Their new gaikai/cloud set up probably requires a lot more upkeep than the PS3's online infrastructure, so I guess it's understandable. Besides, PS+ is pretty awesome. Actually, I think it's friggin' genius that they were able to establish that fact before making this PS+ requirement.

Shall life come a courting as thy subject? Nay, lance the ripe boil of lassitude. Purge thy barren cloister genuflect. Author thine own life thee are not destitute. Expand into the world, let life project. Arise, pale spirit and the sun exude.
Hello, Farrah.... It's 7Am here, and cold Just awoke, with, Oh, Here We Go Again! Fever, Pain, Confusion, And Lots of Other Groovy Things To Keep My Mind Busy... Many more people know of you than a few days ago.... Did you ever hear of Rod Mckuen? Professional poet/ musician/songwritter- One of the reasons I love poetry... Not only will you understand him, you should enjoy him.....Sorry about your work load.... My French is rusty.....I'm pretty good in geometry though; received 100% on NYS Regents Exam when young- an unheard of thing, scores in college of 97-99% for the term's work, and it seemed easy as pi (joke- pie, etc....oh, why am I explaining it, sorry, I forgot who I was talking to.......) Hope you have a happy day.....write an indepth poetic bio?? I'd love it, so would many others.... you are known in literary circles here now, I'd venture to guess.... surprising, the power of words, n'est pas? Je ne sas pa, rien du tout....pardon my spelling and french......it's unused since early 1960's (ancient history) What city are you in? Ever travel??? A favorite destination??? Any questions about the enigmatic nature of "Americans?" We're really well meaning, just sometimes seems we might misinterpret, or misunderstand things obvious to others (and vica versa....) Do you get to see movies??? Need books to read?? I got a library of 10,000 books, at least, being handicapped gives me too much time on my hands, and my health leaves me precious little of a future to expect. I have lots of funny stories. I hope you are okay....I never met anyone so brilliant in 57 years of living. Youf friend in poetry, tom."
I'm very happy I found this site, PoetrySoup.com is a lot of fun, I spend so much time on the computer now I have time for no other one... It's a rush, a blast, a challenge... I'll love it till I die... Only one thing troubles me, And that's the reason why.. I spend so much time hunched over, typing in my silly poems, Hoping that they'll soon be read In many far off homes... But I do appear to have a problem... A physical one at that... My neck is hurting so severely, By hours looking down, writing and reading.. In the spot I sat... I gotta make a judgement call... Is the fun worth more than the pain? Compared to the fun I have, the pain begins to pall Who would not prefer the sunshine to the rain??
Globally, miners jubilantly jump for joy Smiles on the faces of every girl and boy The grins of a newly opened Xmas toy Thatcher's dead. Trade unionists bounce along the street Music blaring and the tapping of feet From nurses to Bobbies still on the beat Thatcher's dead. Street parties announced in the nation Satan who brought economic inflation Is deceased, now's the time for elation Thatcher's dead. Its times like this I'm sad I'm an atheist And can only shout and wave my fist And then go to the pub and get pissed Thatcher's dead.
A revolution without radicals is like squash casserole without squash. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Oh, and just so ya know, radicalism and violence are two completely unrelated terms.
Coffee's my lot, a big pot calms a nut like me! Is it the drink that my sink hates? Stains stick like paint! I write and drink, when the ink stops... thoughts shrink and fade!
Beauty of nature Why condense it down to God? Isn't life enough?
Keep your liquor and your meth cigarettes; stow away your needles and white powder. My mind craves stimulation without sweats caused by vices others choose for regrets. Give me words, inky scrawl across a page, the fluid cadence of a verbal dance freeing the psyche from an iron cage imprisoned by a mundane daily trance. Prohibit fresh diction to discover the foul temper that lies within my breast. Prevent access to verse and uncover an exhausted maudlin beast is expressed. I get my fix within a library. It's cheap to be hooked onto poetry.
People would do almost anything to make it to the top, even using steroids. This type of drug has been used by all would-be professional athletes and actual professional athletes since the 1980s, even behind the backs of their beloved fans. Professional athletes (Lance Armstrong, Barry Bonds, and the late Chris Benoit, e.g.) have been using a lot of steroids before they wrestled, played baseball, rode bikes, or whatever. Everybody knows that using too much steroids have real consequences, even the the courts are involved. Steroids will make one angry, the kidneys start to shrink, one person becomes aggressive, and so on. Using steroids will also cost one individual's life, a chance to play for one of their favorite teams (Dallas Cowboys, e.g.), family, fame, everything. Another term for a use of steroids by professional athletes is "doping." Sooner or later, their fans will find out about their steroid use. And when they do, the young ones who've looked up to their favorite athletes and trusted them with their lives will have been seriously betrayed. Using steroids is considered cheating, especially when Barry Bonds and Lance Armstrong have been using them behind the backs of their loved ones and their fans. Now I know why I never played sports and/or used any of those illegal drugs, let alone steroids. It seems that these athletes can't even earn their way to the top, that includes not using steroids. The only reason why these professional athletes have been using steroids is because their coaches and physicians told them to, and they really should've got caught making their star athletes use that illegal drug. Even Vincent K. McMahon, who was the chairman of World Wrestling Entertainment (formerly the world Wrestling Federation) had forced Hulk Hogan and other wrestlers to use steroids. All types of steroid use are starting to make everyone very, very sick. Did everyone know that if all professional athletes are caught with a lot of steroids and needles that they were going to get arrested. Steroids are to be banned from all of the sporting segments forever. And if all athletes continue to use steroids to cheat their way to the top, thereby getting more money and endorsement deals like that of McDonald's, Progressive, Geico, and other name-brand sponsors and whatnot, they've got another thing coming.
And you all thought that after reaching home, I would jump in the shower so fast and off to bed...I'd snooze to end my boredom? On my lunch hour I take a light nap, it's beneficial to your health the doctor confidently says; and should I ever see a scary, black cat running across my windshield...a nightmare surely begins. Working hard in a warehouse with people and forklifts in full swing, I must be more alert than a mouse being chased by a bunch of hungry cats drooling. To sit at my desk and write a poem for a new contest: is a challenging and rewarding experience for an obscure poet; and while others sleep and their spirits float in mysterious dreams, I reflect over the rhetoric language of what life seems.
Dang heart flutters, clutching at me... little hard to catch my breath, these days been running hard, feeling like I done gone and run the marathon without training They trying to tell me ... That I'm Under the weather again... humpf. They are telling me of all people -- to take it easy... they don't know me to well, do they ~ Never been much on complaining... that takes too much energy... Although it seems that My body is a wee bit tired lately, needing a little rest that's all... too tell the truth I ain't 'bout ta claim nobody's illness Not today nor any t'other I'm standing here for the third time they say three's a charm... hey--hey Now! Fat lady sing if you must, but just you know I ain't going no where, shoot, if the tune be right... I might just sang along with you... play me that song sweet music man ~ Tell 'em all I'm still striving to do the best I can... See I got a whole lot more living to do and I ain't gonna claim that ticket, No, I don't wanna cash it all in -- just yet...
Unknown friend immerses In my fullerene verses, And finds four allotropes forms… We can swim beyond the storms.
Writing is a way to speak when minds are strong but bodies weak to battle very long When no one seems to want to hear thoughts overpowering your heart writing can express what's dear with honour, truth and art It lifts your soul when feeling sad and satisfies a hungry crave It brings awareness never had and makes a coward brave It can relieve encumbrances have freedom from all ties Writing brings remembrances lost and forgotten cries It's a place where one can vent hidden and unspoken moods a sanctuary where the time is spent within life's interlude Writings brings forth revelations and you wonder at the creator of your mind You look upon each new creation fulfilled in what you find It seems that there is nothing greater when all thoughts need setting free than when you put the pen to paper and can breathe .. and love .. and be ..
Chase the voodoo to sleep. sleepless freaks i see in the silver screens blocking the vision of me. there's no choice but to eliminate hate inundating the mind. please mute the voices haunting the airwaves making me blind. the big bad budding burden flashing red lights at every intersection. stealing away the insight i try to gain by using time for reflection. It's a mess the way i test myself with deranged prophecies and bleak scenarios. replaying horror flicks in my head. blasting screams in stereo. all too often the worm hole shoots me to a mid evil castle of torturous devices. impaled in dreams that seem to be broadcasting punishment for succumbing to the world's entice and vices. but other times i fall victim to a good old fashioned "day-mare". people notice the self conversations and can't help but laugh and stare. I must say it's becoming difficult to blame them. if i can't learn to shake this voodoo, it's true my future's looking grim. What do I do? they're gonna end up arresting me! Toss my ass in a padded room and throw away the key! and get this...as i worry about getting sent away, the paranoia increases inside my head. i reach for medication increasing odds of ending up prematurely dead. I may be crazy, but don't take me for an idiot fool. and don't haze me about where my faith is, cus' this could just as soon be you. and i've learned enough to know that each and every one of us will die. and you may take me as insane, but me not taking my own life's got nothing to do with having a fear to fry. This is exactly why i choose to write as my mind fills up with crazy thoughts and throws fits. it's a therapy for me to try and work out all the kinks that make me sink, instead of cowardly throwin' in the towel n' calling it quits.
I live in a place striving for sobriety surrounded in alcohol looking for happiness trapped among our very own sadness. I hear my people's laughs and I hear my people's cries, but most of all I see their dreams because their dreams are my dreams because we remain not against each other today as enemies but hidden friends united through culture, language and blood. I laugh with my people and of course I cry with my people and I fight with my people but most of all I continue to dream with my people. I know who I am and where I am from to know where I been to still hope to where I am going to go. I feel darkness engulf not only myself but also almost my entire reservation's race, no matter mixed or not because soon our culture and language will have no face without any more light to shine upon it. I know where I lived and still live to know if I will truly go where I truly want to go in life before I have my one walk with death. I know by a long shot that I am not the best but by a close hit on the reservation's target I could be better. I take a stand against self to stand against others to better a worsening crowd of many young lost indigenous souls waiting to be unknowingly found and waiting for something similar to what I'm about to write. I take a stand for self so that others know that we aren't all lost and we can and will be found with the true hope of no one's but your own. I take a stand because my brothers and sisters wont, I take a stand because now days most the people around me or within me can't or don't know how, I take a stand for the children who don't have a father and mother as I once had, I take a stand for my unborn child almost here, I take a stand for courage because within me is filled with fear, I take a stand against because the alcohol and drugs within me now I just can't stand, I take a stand for those around me who cannot stand, I take a stand for a culture dying on its knee's trying to get back up, I take a stand for the forsaken yet to be forgiven self-stand. I patiently wait, lying away in the darkness searching for light even though I can see the light I just don't know how to get on thy path to the light. I am not alone, I know for a fact that I am not alone in my thoughts and feelings about life on earth here. I can see our pain, I can hear the hollers and screams, I can feel your anguish and I can smell our destruction. I walk through the reservation valley of darkness as if I am but a blind witness to our own destruction upon where many of us go unknown truly forever in depths of time, in the depths of death. I know that I cannot give in or give up on a dream of a people's dream where the buffalo in our young hearts and minds may roam around free and where the wolf warrior chief may rise above all odds and become thy greatest modern day warrior, the people seek him, the people crave him, the people need him, the people need someone to rise if not geographically the worldwide mentally.
- Normally I don't mess with email requests; but times are a-changin' and I'm rearrangin'. - (As noted by all this distress, the story we wish we'd see less) Titled: "The Train Wreck of Charlie Sheen;" The public seems a little bitter; As he rambles his rants on Twitter, Social network scenes, all the magazines; And he's still rollin' in dough, like we've never seen. Any news is good news…so they say; He's gonna relapse anyway; So at least he's getting high, and making pay. Everyone's glued to their TV and internet devices, But the best thing to do, believe me, is ignore him and his vices. He feeds financially and emotionally, off you and me So leave Charlie alone! Just let him be…
Inspiration is all around me. It swirles in the midst of darkness and deceit. Blinded by dry tears...the deliverers of this blessed word find me when I know not what to look for or where... I and my kind walk in circles looking for and end to pain, deceit, betrayal, unlove, uncareing. We are looking...but not invane. When the circles we walk in seem endless take heart and know that it is not a downward spiral... Keep looking and you will see... (C)....Catherine Buchner 2012
Nights when I'm alone, Icy wind flittering through the window, The absent warmth of love echoing in my empty room, I have frequent love affairs with poetry. Its pulsating words gush themselves out on the white blank page, It caresses my every emotion, Sending me reeling through a torrent of multiple ecstasy, I scream with release as every unhinged secret is documented rhythmically, After, subdued by unthinkable shame, I stash it away with the refreshing slide of a closed drawer, I light up a cigarette and lie within the sheets like a film star, I am who I choose to be, Husband rings, why don't I answer the phone? I'm having an affair with poetry.
Writing is my thing. My drug of choice. My bling bling. I fall in love with the similies and mentions of passion while wrapping my body in sentences. Creating complicated rhythms and making them simples as instances Every line a differenet emphasis Commas, explinations and periods Sometimes rhyming and sometimes not Stopping to puff so my thoughts can lock Feeding hungry souls starved from starvation Creating new creations Making people feel the sensation as I build up to mind elevation The quest for knowledge is not a game Spoken movements teach about the pain I write to ease the pain Rhythms run deep Deep underneath clouded visions of unspoken truth lies a message a message...a message that should be taught accurately to the youth About the struggle of a people that was misued abused, refused, confused, raped, beaten down uneducated portrayed as clowns, coons, niggers, fools Modern day niggas and goons Wake up!! Did you hear the news? You are responsible for you! Imagine how it would be tho If we were uninterrupted and brought overseas yo Uprooted from a line of royalty kings and queens Africa unite is all we'd sing Rhythms run deeper into the seams of my being I write to ease the pain of the oppressed I write to celebrate their success I write to educate the rest The message..The message..The message is very clear No time time to waste The time is NOW It's here!
What's big to me may be small for you But when you hurt I hurt too So many different phases I've been through Withdrawal & self-indulgence just to name a few I dodge sleep to note this nonsense to both me and you My desperate attempt at understanding Has only led to more questions I remember when medication numbed me well enough to stay quiet Nonchalant A zombie! All last night I cried and cried And You slept while I died all the more inside I don't have all the answers One thing I know is Dreaming and fantasizing In these worlds I find solace Seeing and realizing It hurts… It hurts… People have been so unfair – But then again What is fair? So many questions… Once upon a time, I've put down my pen And Followed doctors and drugs Their drugs, my drugs Just stop judging me and fix me! I've put down the drugs Picked up a pen And this is the reason other people say I'm doing well? What's real? I can't tell Is it what you tell me or what I tell me? Drugs have concealed me Silenced me… Taught me that I don't have to feel just see And shake my head Now I can both feel And Shake my head I can verbalize Sure But I'd rather not talk just write I can write and write just to get it out on paper But It's still in my mind I'm not fixed Still I cry and cry While you sleep So which am I supposed to choose? Solace or the truth?

There's many speeches made upon the battlefield of life And much advice both wise and otherwise There's words to spur us on to overcome all sorts of strife Some honest truths and some just hopeful lies. The pep talk to build up the team so they go out and win; The mantras found in simple battle cries; The politics of power delivered with an extra spin; The prophets' words reduced to sermon size; The burning words of hatred that can send a man to kill To light the fire that must be quenched with blood; The prophecies long written that the blind seek to fulfil; The word that lifts the fallen from the mud. The lovers speak in whispers in the darkness of the night And plight to each their troth in sickly verse And the righteous lift up their voice to praise God, good and right And hide the fact that they do something worse. But if there is humanity and sanity to keep The world needs stupid poems about sheep.

No perfect verse can be written before sleep; it's better to procrastinate than to write when your breath stinks! No, I am not referring to unbrushed teeth and unrinsed mouth, but lots of gulping drinks! Even your pen swerves as a wheel of a car; doesn't influence effects your ability to put thoughts together! Food for thought is not wine, beer or champagne; they will not stimulate your intellect when you are unable to think! Rather they will decrease brain performance, blocking your thinking process... like an invalid password not giving you access! Ever sent one to an editor... and it was rejected for grammar, wrong form and misspelling? He must have smelled alcohol from far! There was a poet writing lengthy verses lacking imagination, they couldn't hold the reader's attention: when they could have been brief and to the point without sacrificing artistry! He always had a bottle of rum or vodka next to him to keep him company! Wouldn't you say that... he was as drunk as his pen? Writing when your breath stinks, slows you down and makes you unresponsive to your surroundings... failing to notice important things! There are lots of foolish mouths spitting out words with the allude they will be performed on stage! Wouldn't the audience be upset, or show intense rage?
Murmurs of doubt peel off the page Lost lesions flee from snakeskin An endless stymied spiral recedes As coarse winds blow apart overgrown weeds The scattered feelings of yesterday Are embalmed from a smooth drifting marvel Renewed to pursue this grand calling
My mind was ensnared by dizzying chains. Vicious viruses not only heat veins, they also threaten precious sanity. My skull was filled with some sort of foggy chill that imprisoned my thoughts from the page and kept stimulus from my fleshy cage. I could not sleep to dream, nor dream to write, nor read poems or stories in my sight. All my senses were consumed by nothing. No reason for my reason remaining.
I am hungry, what will it be? Ham, turkey or that nasty bologna? I am hungry, chickpea mash? Spam or that disgusting Hash? I am hungry, mountain oysters anyone? Fish eggs? Or sushi that is "not done?" Such meager questions on what to eat. There are people out there who are starving. I feel ashamed and should do my part. To give the shirt off my back would be a start.
We are sullenly mourning For security from the demoralizing night I am despairingly probing For mercy to carry us back to our divine flight We are all wishing for infinite freedom We are all seeking for an abundant kingdom If we are living in pure happiness, why are we so emotional inside and out? Why are we painstakingly tracking down a getaway away from this mystifying dilemma? What is all this venturing about? If we are swaying in the rhythm of faultless jolliness, why are we vexing about the departure of our best friend? It isn't in our control…so get a grip or we'll fall! If we build up our friendship, we'll have wounds to mend So stop your blaming and cursing or we'll be in appall If we are all leaders, why are we panicking? We are all leaders…we aren't senseless pleaders! So face your phobias and get out of the deserted state! We are all leaders…we will not give in, vile deceivers! Saunter out of sight, so we won't meet our unsettling fate! You meddled with our cries So don't point fingers, you insidious devil And forced us to believe your jaded lies SHUT YOUR MOUTH! I don't want to consider your excuses, for our truth stands still If we are living in pure happiness, why are we not meant to be? If we are living in pure happiness, why are we battered and bent? If I am living in pure happiness, why am I not free? Could we ever discard this horrifying dilemma that pounds on us like cement? We must act like a leader—tough and vigilant Striving to survive! We must mimic like a leader—buff and independent Struggling to stay alive! Disregard the mourning state; Drive out the defiant enemies and make them face their damnations So we can joyfully integrate and negotiate You'd do me a favor to cease your supplications!

Ah, I really know this poem from the heart, the very same way I know my dear wife in the dawning chill. Rhyme reaps aged mind, alliteration immerses into the emotional sea, sun rays darting my skin, tenaciously free of boozes.
Maybe if I just write...and write...and write... and put ALL of my thoughts and words down on paper... The pain will go away... and then I will be happy... and content and my head won't hurt, and my heart won't hurt, and I won't feel so bad anymore. If I just write... and write... and write... and write... and get all of these words out of my head and off of my heart and put them down on paper. Maybe then I will be able to "Write the Pain Away."

I poured me a big bowl of soup today- Noodles, veggies and chicken In broth good for my soul. Dedicated to all poets and those who read and comment on our work.
(This is a fictional poem) I bought a black cat because I didn't believe that they bring bad luck. I bought a black cat and then I got ran over by a truck. The driver gave me the finger as he ran me over. I need some good luck in a hurry, I need a four leaf clover.
Heidie, my dear.... Your "cockles" are, in fact near... Your "druthers" Where they just may be, Grey's Anatomy you must see...
Porky said it best... but now I feel just the same... tired, weary, word worn... well, I wish I had the strength to stay but my poor, sore body's tellin' me.... time to call it a day!!!
Dancin' with the dead, Becomin' familiar to me... Missin' my soup pals, That you can see, 10 days in the ward Warding off death, 10 days never knowing, Which might be my last breath, There is no fear, Regardless of fate, It's merely a question, Sooner or late... You will join me too... Somewhere down the road... We'll write funny poems together, Hope I don't have to goad... But now to catch up with my pals, Sorry for any worry I might have caused, Glad to be back on line, With the winners of the world.
Growing up In thee City, living with a Family only a Mother, putting food on table Daddy decided, He could no longer work living In thee City, with four Girls and two Boys No shame If you could only look the things that I saw right before Your eyes, Imagine a Father with leaving our home, and never too return Didn't even give a poem what His Children noctice Mother would Work all kinds of Jods making sure that Her Family, would Never part growing up In thee City, was difficult grace but we all Strived to graduate at the top of our score we finished, still It wasn't enough Mother gave us a chance at a College, four Years tough now I think for a moment, and try to relate while growing up In the City, You definitely need Mother always did Her best that She could Providing a loving sweet home while growing up In thee City.
Oh, can I run with this one....I better be careful!!!..... Soup to nuts, When I spilt the bowl, You could hear me yell, From the lower parts of hell, I screamed "There's a soup In my fly!!!" Oh me, oh my..... Give me first aid, Before my sperm start to fade, And if the truth you hide, I will swear you lied, Cause the truth is plain, That your soup did maim, My manhood right to claim, I walk out of here, but it's very clear... This restaurant you own, Will soon enough pay your loan, for damages to me, Which you'll never see!! for Rene', Shar, Rhoda, Jack Reed, Christy, Ruby, Laine, Cile, Joe, Karen, Vernette,Kim,Teresa,Patricia,John, Danielle,John,Charles,Vince,Wilfredo, Michael,Orma,Caryl,Brian,Rhea,Jessica, and all the wonderful poets who make "The Soup" the delicacy, the gourmet mind treat, the spirit reviver, the place to have fun...the place to BELONG!!!!! I love you all,- you have greatly enriched my life, annnnnd spark whatever creativity I can muster... God Bless........
Some people see a bowl of soup, I see the ingredients... Some people see the words... Nothing wrong with that... They are talented, artistic...meaningful... I see the heart capable of forming them I see the mind behind the words... I see immense value added to this Version of reality... By the words of those.... Far wiser, far kinder,.... Than I.... I see love, concern.... Things I cant find in my own family... I find hope...the most precious of gifts, Bestowed upon me by those with no ulterior motive... These simple things Restore my faith in humanity... How blessedly lucky I must be... To have stumbled, somehow, Upon these most gentle, wise, souls Serendipity at the soup Soul of the soup... I sometimes wonder if these Wonderful people in Georgia Realize the incredible service they are providing for the rich of word, the rich of heart, For the beneficial expression, Of all mankind... All over the world... I know they are not getting rich off us, But we off them.. For uniting those who know The art of words... Seemingly....a vanishing art. The gold mine of thought To be mined here... Far exceeds .... The gold of the richest Treasure chest....
Sun's up.... Me too.... Head first for the computer... To see what might be new.... Not in world news, Though I will soon get to that.... But first to check the Soup, To see who has stirred the vat, The cauldron of words we cook, The wisdom that we serve.... The heights of love we expose, Ths soaring joy of verve... A reason for getting up, Even when the body aches... A reason to feel steady... Even when our body shakes... No medicine competes, With the magic of the Soup, Like the classic Jewish chicken broth, A medical wonder if one exists, How it heals us so thoroughly, Is so far one that science surely does miss.
(This is a fictional poem but God really does heal people.) When I prayed, I begged God to cure my cancer. It's nice to know that my prayers got answered. I became very ill and I was on my deathbed. If it wasn't for the greatness of the Lord, I'd be dead. I knew I would be healed if I prayed and had faith in God. Now I'm in complete remission and my doctor says that's odd. When I prayed, God heard what I said. Because of him, I have many more years ahead.

Gun Owner to Gun OwnerSubmitted by Guest1264 (not verified) on Mon, 12/17/2012 - 12:40pm.
I am not sure that I understand your post. It sort of appears that you believe that people should not own a gun except for home defense. I do understand and agree that owners should control their guns at all times. You accurately say that we have not lost any freedoms. I guess that it is OK with you if we just lose a couple, is that right? Many people use assault weapons for Saturday afternoon fun on the range; others may use them to hunt but I have never personally seen anyone with an assault weapon hunting. »
