Thanks to the 50 per cent reservation for women in the coming panchayat elections, thousands of Muslim women, until recently discouraged from taking to politics and public life, are likely to enter the political domain in the northern districts of Kerala.
The reservation has forced the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), which, not long ago, disfavoured Muslim women's active politics, to press them into the electoral arena. The IUML holds a significant political space in the Malabar region. Since a half of all the electoral seats in the local bodies are set apart for women, the party is now gearing up to harness Muslim women's political energy.
In preparation for the elections, the Vanitha League, IUML's women's wing, has been energised.
"The Muslim League will contest all women-only seats in the elections in areas where we have political influence," Noorbina Rasheed, general secretary of the Vanitha League, told The Hindu. "We have lots of able women to stand for the election." The Vanitha League is now setting up committees in all panchayats and all wards.
"A number of educated Muslim women show up at each of these meetings eager to become office-bearers and run for panchayats," Ms. Rasheed, a lawyer and former State Women's Commission member, who served as councillor in the Kozhikode Corporation for two terms, claimed. The local body elections, to be held in about three months, will be the first gender-equal election in the women-majority Kerala. It is expected to spawn a new generation of women politicians.
This will be much more pronounced among Muslim women, whose political empowerment has been held back by a host of social, religious and cultural factors. Ms. Rasheed, however, says that her organisation does not ask its activists and leaders to work full-time. "Our priority is for the family; family first, then politics and public life," she said.
As a result, they are told to wind up all public functions by 6 p.m. Women are also told to wear 'Islamic attire' that does not expose the body other than the hands and the face. "We do not insist on the purdah," she claims. "Salwar-kameez and sari are perfectly fine."
The Vanitha League will not take to the street holding rallies and demonstrations, unless it is extremely unavoidable.
(However, a Vanitha League activist told The Hindu that these precautions - of 'family first' and 'Islamic attire' - were basically to ward off criticism from the conservatives who did not take lightly to women's political empowerment.)
Over a decade back, the constitutional mandate of 'one-third quota' for women in local bodies had unleashed women's political energy in Kerala's countryside.
For the politically marginalised Muslim women in Malappuram, Kozhikode, Kannur, Kasaragod, Wayanad and Palakkad districts, it opened up avenues of political power.
The IUML had no option but to reluctantly let their women contest the elections. In the beginning, the party had difficulty finding sufficient number of candidates. Most of those zestful women who got elected proved their mettle in office and many earned a name for being good administrators.
Keywords: Kochi, Panchayat elections, Reservation for women, IUML

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Mark Teixeira hit a two-run homer, Alfredo Aceves earned his majors-leading eighth win as a reliever and the New York Yankees wrapped up a stretch of 33 games in 34 days with a 3-2 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday night.
Teixeira sent the first pitch from A's rookie Brett Anderson (7-9) into the elevated left-field bleachers in the fourth following Johnny Damon's leadoff single. Teixeira also had an RBI groundout in the first to put the Yankees ahead early.
Chad Gaudin pitched 4 1-3 scoreless innings against his former club in his first start for the Yankees, allowing one hit, striking out five and walking five.

I'll argue it's a useless question, and explain why.This reply is directed at new writers, and despite the tone that may follow, I really do intend to be sincere and helpful. I was once a newbie, too. And although I'm certainly not going to claim to be great, I've fallen flat on my face enough times to learn how to pick myself up and produce something I'm proud of.Here's why you need to not ask this question. You're either going to succeed, or you're going to fail. But, either way, you'll be better off for having:1. Tried2. Figured out how to motivate yourself to continue3.

I am pretty intrigued in the Kahr line of guns after my last thread and the idea to go to a pocket carry. I am a bigger guy so my pockets are typically big in the pants that fit me (I can fit a full 4.3" Garmin GPS in my pocket).
1. I understand that the CW9 doesn't have some of the features of the P9 but am I really missing out by going with the CW9? Here's Kahr's comparison KAHR CW9093 / Detail images . It's not like I am shooting for competition but I do want to make sure it shoots every time and fits well in my pocket.
2. How much bigger is the P45 and is it comfy in a pocket? Wouldn't mind having a .45 in my pocket and don't mind the recoil from small .45s.
I am mostly leaning towards the CW9 unless by buying it I am really going to miss all the P9's features. P45 is the outside chance if I get a little saucy. It is really between one of these Kahrs and the Walther PPS which I love other than the mag release which is hella awkward.

Good evening TW,
Earlier today I started the map light mod that includes the diode. Now, neither the map lights nor the dome light work.
First, what size diode is used? I am using a 3A 50 PIV diode. This has 230K ohms of resistance, that seems high? All instrument lights work but the clock doesn't work? (the clock's back light works, just no numbers) I checked the 7.5A dome light fuse, that is good. Are the two wires i flipped on the connector causing this issue? Does the mod that only calls for a ground wire from the dome require this flip? Any info would greatly appreciated!!

Equifax CIO Webb Receives Top Industry Award For Second Consecutive Year
ATLANTA, Aug. 2, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Equifax (NYSE:EFX) Chief Information Officer David C. Webb has been named to the International Data Group CIO Magazine's 2013 CIO 100 for the second consecutive year. The awards program celebrates 100 organizations that are using IT in innovative ways to deliver business value.
Webb has a strong reputation using technology as a management strategy for business growth as evidenced by his selection as the CIO 100 award recipient for the second consecutive year.
At Equifax, Webb is responsible for the global technology and strategy operations and support for delivery of the company's innovative information solutions. Webb ushered in a new approach to 'big data', one that would allow Equifax IT engineers to crunch hundreds of terabytes in a matter of seconds using new indexing technology. In addition, he led efforts to create a unified platform. A 30-year veteran of the IT and financial services industries, Webb joined Equifax in 2010.
About the CIO 100 Awards : The recipients of this year's CIO 100 award were selected through a three-step process. First, companies filled out an online application form detailing their innovative IT and business initiatives. Next, a team of judges reviewed the applications in depth, looking for unique practices and substantial results. Finally, CIO editors reviewed the judges' recommendations and voted on the final 100. To be selected, applicants must show not only that they have executed their project well but also that they have done so in uncommon, innovative ways: pioneering a new technology, applying a familiar technology to a new purpose, setting the bar higher for their competitors. And they must demonstrate business value, not just IT benefits. Complete coverage of the 2013 CIO 100 awards is online at CIO.com and in the August issue of CIO magazine. About CIO Magazine: CIO is the premier content and community resource for information technology executives and leaders thriving and prospering in this fast-paced era of IT transformation in the enterprise.

Here under the cold winter sun, Beneath the old, lifeless tree, My winter mourning has begun, When no one comes to visit me. Left out here on the edge of town, Underneath the gray and gloomy sky, In a lonely cemetery, with not a soul around, Where every lone wintertime, I cry. As I lay here, frozen and numb, Crystal snowflakes are falling down, The dead of winter has finally come, Like icy teardrops upon the ground. The wind howls like a lonely, lost spirit, Through grass overgrown this December, And it still hurts me to hear it, That nobody even came here to remember. Icicles have formed on the iron gate, And the days now become dark so soon, Forever sealing in my forgotten fate, My only friend is the bright, shining moon. And so I'll just lie here all alone, No one will come until the spring, And while you are staying, warm at home, No one has left me flowers or anything.
As you cry in the dark and your tears find the pillow You think I don't know, those tears filled with such sorrow Are for that long ago love, then comes tomorrow I wish for today, your heart I could borrow Dreams filled with the memory of her face Wisps of her hair, visions of ribbon and lace The look in her eyes, another time and place I wish this from your mind, I could forever erase But war time came and took you away And never knowing your fate, day after day Time took its toll, as time will do She went on with life, her life without you As I cry in the dark and my tears find the pillow You'll never know, these tears filled with such sorrow Are those longing for love, again comes tomorrow I wish for today, your heart I could borrow ©Donna Jones
I am forever blue, Just like the sky, All the rain that falls on you, Is how I feel when I cry. I am deep blue like the sea, Barely breathing beneath the waves, How lonely can one be?, There's nothing left here to save. This feeling is not once in a blue moon, It lasts all day and night, It's as deep as a blue lagoon, With no end in sight. The frosty air is so cold, On this blue December night, Here is what my future holds, And I know it isn't right. My whole life has been so blue, With so many turns like a river, The water is so cold now, too, It makes me really shiver. My future is so blue, And this is my only end, I want to tell you, I love you, Because you're my only friend.
I never knew following dreams could be this lonely, But up on the hill, looking back, thank God I'm not the old me. If the tears will fall, let them be; I believe this is God's plan, follow your dreams.
Never thought I would adorn prison stripe of black and white without fashion or flare. News coverage was an exaggerated hype that could give me a lifetime to wear. I proclaim that I am blameless and innocent with no record of violence anywhere. My heart is heavy with sorrow for this gent whose loving soul I did willfully snare. I didn't know his heart was weak and frail from loss of his aged dying wife. I plead don't incarcerate me to lonely jail for the rest of my young passionate life. I have given my all, consoling lonely men who have lost a loved one present or past. Do not belong in jail, haven't committed a sin please reconsider your honor, I asked. The old callous judge scowl faced with denial sentenced me to life of community service. Since the old gent died with a smile, jail was not my rightful justice…. Copyright © 2011 By Caryl S. Muzzey Tenth Place Winner ~ "A poem that has never been entered in any contest" Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Poet Destroyer March 24, 2013
Lovebirds sing a duet up in the clouds tulips pucker up to kiss the butterflies, I am surrounded here by serene beauty with the tears of heaven in my eyes. Where bright rainbows never fade away and stars twinkle in the moonbeams, yet, what is all of this beauty worth if there is no one to share my dreams. Still, you shall find me there someday and maybe want to stay for awhile, making sure that my tears in heaven accompany only laughter and a smile.
My parents often spoke of a twin A sister who had died during birth Strange hollowness always felt within In teen years I doubted my self worth Too shy to interact with my peers On prom night I drove to Crystal Lake Streaming down my face were lonely tears This half of a whole whose legs did shake From the edge of the bridge I looked down A fifty-foot plunge, I'd surely die But beside me in my reflection I found A pleading form I could not defy It was my twin, fully grown like me For the first time I was free of pain And though she disappeared suddenly I have never felt lonely again Written for the Ghost contest
The night was dark the moon in hiding, squeals and giggles around the streets All the children dressed in costume begging sweets on trick or treat. None dared to go to Lonely Street, no treat could entice them there The legend of the cloaked man with a staff still lingered in the air. The riches of the gilded street does not welcome Halloween footfall Lonely Street would remain so, this year none would call. The legend said the cloak-ed man glides along the street None heard footfall, as he followed those indulging in trick or treat. A blood curdling scream assaulted the ears, followed by another Children ran and scattered, screams and tears they could not smother. Along Lonely Street the cloak-ed man was heard to give a laugh "Why scream my little ones?" in his hand he raised a staff. "You are here to celebrate the waking, and walking of the dead Come hither my little ones this is what tradition has said. You dress as ghosts and spirits long gone, begging for some treats But then when somebody refuses you, you trick them, that is weak." To do this on the night that we, the dead awake You should surely know its time for us to teach you your fate… I am here to collect all your souls, you will join us in the flesh You celebrate and dress to please now you will visit the devils crèche. He raised his staff high, his cloak opened wide With a howling wind the children were blown inside His cloak was full of all the souls of the young Their screams were heard, to the night they clung. No more was there a Halloween night in that area or surrounding The souls on Lonely streets stay in and still their hearts are pounding. The Cloak-ed man is waiting; he is waiting each year on Lonely Street For the sound of children laughing as they dress as ghosts on trick or treat… © 29/08/2012.
It's still alive, the rose he gave Coral pink like the blush of our cheeks It's life makes my own so worthless Thriving upon nothing, for weeks They say that colors make the mood I don't live by what others say I only pick the ones I want to hear And then I go on my way If he is happy I know not I only know this old rose is still pink If the sky is crying, let me cry too Washing away each tear as I blink Fading as each day passes by But faithfully retaining it's hue Lying nostalgically beside my bed Stunningly against the wall's blue
Last night your faded memory came to me, As in the wilderness spring comes quietly, ?As, slowly, in the desert moves thew breeze, ?As to a sick man, without cause, comes peace…
It's not the same without you; The days are rainy and the nights are blue. My heart is crying and God is too, But we are smiling, waiting here for you.
Darkness abides save flickering candle light Illuminating his silhouette of masculinity exhaustion renders an end tonight Supplanting all previous antiquity In the quiet he sleeps Leaning close to steal his breath As the wanting piques With the rise and fall of his chest My lips fall slightly upon his own Sleepily he begins to stir For his pause my darling he soon atones As his hands they caress my curves You set my passion ablaze again Our appetite whet for more Soon transported to a lovers realm The key which unlocks my door Though intimacy sweet It's ecstasy adored Permanency is what I seek Our days and nights in one accord In times passage you'll leave and then My eyes will covet your face Abandoned and lonely I'll pick up my pen Repeatedly this scenario retraced How I long for the time Your wife I'll be named Together our lives redesigned A longing no more to be feigned When all our tomorrow's The missing knows no place In your arms I know no sorrow My home in your soul interlaced
A soldier breathing his last breath A scarred wife left behind A father-less son now contemplating death A son-less father losing his mind ~Christopher Thor Britt
Oh he's feeling mighty lonesome can't seem to sleep a wink, walking the floor try to fathom and in between does drink. Is this kind of love a toxic brew or a nectar so sweet when loving words towards you drew yet left in lonely street? He just keep talking to shadows since the blues came to life, a love so passionate foregoes normality for strife, Now a man is born for loving and some have past regret an instinct of turtle doving yet in you an asset. So this feeling low to the ground is driving one crazy, when an Angel he knew he'd found time spent apart mazy. © Harry J Horsman 2013
Is it a must to be in a couple? I find life pleasurable as a single It gives me time to write Time to search for my height If it is such a must to be in a couple Why is is that around me, I see only pain Everything becomes always disagreeable Love, after some time, does become a disdain! Why, I have had my share of love Once, when I was yet a joyful dove Chirping madly away, laughing the day away But love showed me its evil side on that day Since then, I chose to live only as a single But it seems that being single means being weird So, should I succumb and be no more abominable? Should I follow the route as does most of the herd?
I remember when I was a frilly butterfly With a need to be loved While flying happily up the sky I remember when I met him my sweetheart He was made of pure innocence And gave my life a new start I remember when He broke me up badly I was still a frail butterfly But I could now only see love as my enemy I remember when I took the vow of turning into Narcissus True, treading the path alone get lonely But it is yet better than to be Sisyphus
High atop the mountain's peak Where the wind does softly speak Brushed against the midnight flower Locked up in her mighty tower.
Stuck in the friend zone, oh what a misery I dream of giving you all my loving I wish that you and I were meant to be But instead I'm crying, waiting and hoping There are lonesome tears in my eyes It's all too much to keep deep in my heart A million cries for each million goodbyes It's driving me crazy and tearing me apart I want to tell you but I'm afraid you won't stay Sometimes I wish that I was dead Don't pass me by; don't walk away I'll try to be happy but I'll cry instead I'm tired of crying, waiting and hoping I really want this pain to end I'm barely breathing and slowly dying But you are just my everlasting friend
Memory of a lost Love He sat, motionless, a hard static stare, Sat there, frozen, to a small rocking chair. Looked out over garden, so wonderful, so wild, Bringing back the memory, of when he was a child. Thoughts of auburn hair, emerald eyes, Many nights spent, with low muffled cries. No children to share, for impotent man, Bed time rows, the tears that ran. Love now gone, was such a temporal game, Some amorous nights? So who was to blame? Tears like rain for this solitary soul, Such a resting actor who has no role. She left him she said, "cause all was not fine", For him, it was, just a matter of time. Knowing of others, she'd seen for the night, No doubt his heart was too broken to fight. Although, outside, was now breezy, quite warm, Inside his heart bled, so tattered and torn. Clinging with care now, to what he had left, Pictures, happy times, memories were best. Where could he go now? He could not complain, Sat there, anguished, was her victim inane? Why are some people so selfish with life? They make a bad lover, husband or wife? I only pray that from such I am free, Hoping in my life, True Love is for me.
Love, is it possible? when heart is unable to speak and to feel whether us is for real Trust, faith were torn apart left me behind, so dark is it my fault or yours? blame myself, yes of course I cannot give you all dream house, cars, can't afford Home is enough to live Walk together indeed I can't buy jewelry 'cause I gain less money Wish you understand me this is reality Free my heart from hatred He's the one you've chosen handsome, and no doubt, rich! I am down, and low pitch Hope that he will love you I don't want you to sob although my wealth is few but you felt true love Be happy and be still live your whole life with him! and continue our dreams That's the last I can give Lost, but finding my way got a few words to say I love you and goodbye keep this letter. . don't cry . .
Hello Jack...It been a long time since I held you, close, and you stay. Hello Jim, your wearing me thin, 'cause I just can't keep you away. And then, every sip that I take, sure to keep me awake, thinkin' how lonely I've been. Hello George...Will you stay if you can, Mr. Beam has gone and left me dry. Hello John, just walk right on in seeing you just makes me want to cry. And then, every sip that I take, sure to keep me awake, thinkin' how lonely I've been. Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, George Dickle, Johnny Walker © Jun 07 2010 For Amy's choose one (alcohol) contest
restless heart in need of flight the time is drawing near future bliss within his sight in the present lives his fear what he has and what he needs inhabit different pages conscience shamed by guilty deeds such sin has costly wages
With your evil eye you stand against my happiness My amulets have become my weakness. You creep me out with every rhythm of your suspense Soulless I've become as I waddle in your sentence.
Sleep evades his presence missed Her lonely reflection shines back By windows glass her wine she sips But liquid comfort cannot acquit The sentence of her choosing Where lonesome miles consist A blind eyes scentless bouquet An agony she couldn't predict Now morning breaks A ridged winters chill Another dawn of sorrow wakes As her bitter tears be spilled For what love in sincerity arrayed Could possess someone so young To betray their continuum of days For the hope of "The One" delayed Reason defies the desires of the heart No cost could be too grave For all the petulant hours apart The bond of their souls are enslaved Walk with me dear on the edges of time Of these days we sorely lament The poetess keeps sanity by nature of rhyme Finding solace in the moments we've spent
Can I wrap my hand? Round orb, in this band, Can I walk on arid sand? As a prisoner desire to land, Can I be in contention? To my ending love and attention, Can you sign this letter for sanction, Inside, I sentenced your detention, Will my wrath and anger end, Can anyone make me mend, So I am able to walk or wend, As I have nothing to write and send, Can you give me a piece of time, Nib now dead, So I begin with the lime, To write a slaying tale of love crime, But contrary to sime, (Simenon) But, Now I give up all this d*mn misery, For which I ruined, a treasury, So-called love with all its brutality, So begin to live alone fiercely. And call it quits at absolute span, So a balmy turns to amiable man, And love hangover shed lightly, So I can live alone slackly. Shahid Hussain Chouhdry
I fell in love with a boy named John He broke the branches of my heart It was that painful, but life must go on I dust myself and head for a fresh start I fell in love with a boy named Jarvis He broke the branches of my heart Mama told me there would be days like this So I dust myself and head for a fresh start I again fell in love with a boy named Frank Hmm! I parted with a broken heart He left the pages of my life blank And said, "Young lady you can now depart" I'm thinking of taking my final bow I want to move on and take a big stride Yet, am feeling very depressed now This depression has eaten all of my pride Every day, I hear people talk about love I see people in love and wonder "why can't I?" I see people like me express their love And I wonder and ask "why can't I?" Friends mock and laugh at me So I put myself in a very little box Where I can be alone and be free To me this is a yoke, because I feel like a fox I'm thinking of someone who has my best interest in mind His unswerving love echoes through my heart His love is kind not selfish, greedy and blind Thank you Jesus for repairing the broken branches of my heart The Poet Preacher © 2013
To you alone My heart is sold As the days go Your beauty grows As time flies by i have to sigh When you walk by And catch my eye I cannot think Or even blink As it may seem Only a dream To you alone I have to sigh And just walk by Your beauties glow
I must try to hide my love Keep it under lock and key For I was not meant for love And love was not meant for me My love is everlasting Unlike the changing season My passion is so intense It goes beyond all reason Better to be without it To live without constant fear That the one whom I adore Will make these hazel eyes tear It's better to keep myself Tightly under my control Than to give myself away To someone without a soul I was not made for love And love was not made for me It's a sad and damning truth All the same, it sets me free Instead of being a dreamer With my head up in the cloud I'm a converted realist My heart's covered in a shroud I'm dead to life and to love What I tell you is so true I was not made to be loved Unless I am loved by YOU! Eileen Manassian Ghali
My heart signed For the prince it pined Yet, horror has just struck my inner being The news read that to a lovely maiden my prince will be marrying Horrible was such a messenger who brought me such a miserable scroll Surely he must be mad, why maybe he was even a troll Working for the evil witch The one who always wished to be rich The one who sent us all this message Reading which my heart went into a rage Yet, as I look out at the scenery I saw, the prince walking over the balcony He was coming towards me Surely to enjoy a chat As was his usual habit, He did claim to love my eye's clarity I re-read the message again If the prince did love another In such amorous ventures I would never gain Strongly I would try to let go of him forever! Invited you all are, to the town's grand wedding Please be dressed and all decked up You shall enjoy some dance and some pleasurable sup After all, the prince's wedding is surely a unique happening How could it be What shall become of me My heart beats only for his eyes Now I shall have to live on with lies Bold, I chose to face him Maybe he shall get over this mad whim Maybe he has come to seek forgiveness Come, let me go, hopefully, relieved shall be my distress!
This fortress is coming down; It's been a long time in the making. This bastion can't hold its own; All these walls are shaking.
Nothing turned out right I'd wished and tried It isn't their fault It's rightfully mine Maybe I should have tried harder Now I'm on the run Because by default I'm the one that is done.
A CAUSTIC CACTUS You left me low in the high Sierras standing naked and all alone there stood I midst sorrow and sand sorrow, sand and stagnant stone there was one lonely cactus almost lonely as lonely me both of us begging for sustenance neither of us to ever be set free I can't find the path that led me here and you might say that I can't take no more you might say i've reached the end and no one has ever been so right before why can't you just get it through your head there will never be a time where the middle will meet the end? I'm stuck in the arid air of sadness and it's cohort it's comrade called the wind that makes both that cactus and myself bend we are blown to and fro, from left to right and every morning greets me with a sun that cooks my blood one moment of sanctuary from the heat would be a gift instead yet another night I wilt like a a lily or a blood red rosebud I tried to hold you but the sun got in the way I tried to keep you but no water might I find i'm stuck in the acrid humidity of improprieties and that sunlight has left me sweaty and blind so here I am laying low in the high Sierras knowing full well there ain't no escape I remember love sworn on dunes of sand and picnics midst the misty beauty of the cape © 2012....PHREEPOETREE ~free cee!~
This is for the lonely dreamers, who fantasize of a life of grandeur, Who never cross off the possibilities, of whatever their minds can conjure. For those who look forward to the rising sun, to set the skies ablaze and burn away, The stagnate and unequivocal nothing, the dark secrets of yesterday. For those who wait for the forgiving moon, a single shining light illuminating the night, Helping to embrace the cold, lonely solitude, helping take off the heavy mask of fright. For those who stare at the clouds, to escape their mundane reality. For those who gaze at the stars, in search of some unknown entity. The inextinguishable light of hope burns, deep within our hearts for eternity. As we search for the courage, to take a step onto the winds of destiny.
Danny down the hall just behind the door. Thunder coming from it. Presence made galore. Cozy with a two-four. Danny home to drink. Left upon his own. A girl to make him think. T-shirt with a logo. Danny's casual dress. Smell of smoke right through it. His ball cap holding mess. Shoes left in the hallway leaning to the wall. Just aside the pathway where Danny sweeps the hall. Sunshine from the window Danny stands in view. Watching those who enter whenever one comes through. Danny down the hallway. Asking what is new. Pray it's not a foul mood or Danny's on the brew.
AUTUMN OUGHT NOT BE SO ORIDNARY Setting now is another Autumnal sun Another late October day is nearly done And now I've another night all alone to face Without a lasting and loving embrace Sans a kindly kiss good-night And a "sleep well my sweet" wrapped in delight With sincerity sequestered in each word and her last smile so blueberry bright No, just another very lonely night Tonight my desires matter not since I am alone Yes, of course there is always the telephone But then all I hear is a disembodied voice And if I had a choice and were I to make that choice known I'd choose not to be quite and quietly so alone Pictures of the past hang on a wall bare but for images of yesterday Scenes of what sorrow and celebration had to say Some in color and some in burnt sienna brown Most that make me smile and only some that make me frown The sad ones are photos taken while I must have been envisioning the sorrow of this day that has so suddenly set in And the darkness yet another twilight has let in Another night to chase away with sleep and a prayer for serenity An evening made imperfect for a perfectly maudlin man like me Sereneness that may never arrive for a lonely man who longs for long-term love Yet finds only fleeting lovers who are tourists in and out of a life made from madness and too many changes With all the obscurity uncertainty arranges As I think of all the good times I must surely be forgetting But alas, yet another Autumnal sun is just about setting © 2012 copyright PHREEPOETREE…..~free cee!~
Why must a poet write such things Of sorrow and despair? Does he not understand he brings The darkness with him there? He brings a hollow lonesome wind That chills us to our souls Each time he waves his mournful pen The breeze of heartache blows For he writes with pure emotion Where demons sometimes sleep He will write of his devotion He's ever reaching deep He will write of his rejection He lives with every day He knows no words of affection His mind don't work that way So write on now lonely poet And tell us of your scars Tell us of your lonely prison With heartache as your bars

Katmai bears star in nature's 'Jersey Shore'
Katmai bears are the star of an Internet 'reality show' based in the Katmai National Park and Preserve in remote Alaska. Eight web cams have been set up at various parts of the park to livestream the daily life and drama of the park's famed Katmai bears.
Roy Wood/explore.org/AP/File
KATMAI NATIONAL PARK AND PRESERVE, Alaska
Stars snarling at each other, mate swapping, dominant males posturing and establishing their territory.
It's not quite "Jersey Shore," but these are among the highlights of the second season of an Internet reality show coming your way this week.
The stars are the brown bears of Katmai National Park and Preserve in remote Alaska. Eight web cams, an increase of five from last year, have been set up at various parts of the park to livestream the daily life and drama of the park's famed bears. Social aspects also have been enhanced, with live web chats planned with rangers and scientists, and a new photo sharing feature.
"We know that Katmai is a cost-prohibitive place to visit so not a lot of people get the opportunity to come here," park ranger Michael Fitz said.
"We still want people to have an understanding of what Katmai is like, and enjoy, especially enjoy the brownbears that are here, so explore.org is able to partner with Katmai to provide many different webcams along the Brooks River so you have a chance to watch the bears and have an opportunity to experience their lives," Fitz said.
About 10,000 people a year visit the park about 250 miles west of Anchorage, which is only accessibly by float plane. Katmai is on the Alaska Peninsula, across the Shelikof Strait from Kodiak Island.

The Dirty Dozen! 12 Fatal Relationship Errors
By Kim Olver
While these are basically written tongue-in-cheek, each has an element of truth to it as something people do when in a relationship and then they have difficulty understanding why things aren't going well with their partner.
- Do not grab your partner in the breast or crotch and think that constitutes foreplay. Is Steamy Text Messaging The New Foreplay?
- Do not tell your partner she looks fat in anything, even when she asks.
- Do not sarcastically tell your partner he should have asked for directions when you suspect he may be lost.
- Do not contradict your partner in public...no matter how much he is exaggerating.
- Do not stalk your loved one. When you check cell phone calls, emails and follow him or her on their evening/weekend activities, you are not exactly communicating a message of trust.
- Do not complain to friends, family or co-workers about your loved one. Long after you have forgiven him or her, your friends and family are still holding a grudge. If you must vent about your partner, tell a stranger on the street.
- When your woman is venting about a problem she is experiencing, do not suggest she might prefer being alone while she is upset. Just listen and nod your head, throwing in an occasional, "Oh baby, I'm so sorry that happened to you."
- When your man is upset, stop pressuring him to "talk." Talking is not what he needs to do. Bring him a beer instead and then leave him alone to work it out.
- Do not decide that the middle of the football playoff game is the best time to have a serious "talk." When football is on, nothing short of a natural catastrophe at your home will take precedence and maybe not even that!
- Stop setting up your partner by expecting him to read your mind. He can't! How Do You Set Realistic Expectations In A Relationship?
- Stop thinking your partner means what she says. Try to read between the lines to discover what she is really saying. "I would do that" usually means "I'd really rather not."
- When all else fails and you decide to hire a hit man, don't pay with a credit card or personal check. You may end up with a partner who is worse than the one you already have...in prison!
Now, you may be laughing, but often things are funny when we can see the truth in them. You may recognize yourself, your current partner or past relationships in some of these errors. The thing to do is ask yourself what could you do instead that would be more respectful and loving. We are talking about your most significant relationship of choice! How does this person deserve to be treated by you? What kind of lover do you want to be? When you are in a relationship it is important to treat your partner the way they would want you to treat them, not necessarily how you would want to be treated in a similar situation.
When you love someone, you want to create a safe space for them to just "be" in the world. Your relationship with your partner should be that safe haven where everything is all right or at least you know your partner will create a space where it will be all right again very soon. Let me know your plan for neutralizing some of the errors in your relationship!

Its 8.45am here just now, for most people morning has not long started but for me its only about an hour away from one of my favorite parts of the day – naptime
In the meanwhile i will clean (or ehh blog) while Rebecca climbs in and out of Eilidhs high chair giving me a heart attack each time, guess its better than jumping from the couch to a table as she was doing earlier this morning.
She is currently naked (and now getting very upset because she wants an apple and we have none) having decided it was a great idea to do the toilet on her freshly ironed dress (that had not even made it on her yet – ohh and she now just peed on the high chair sigh). If course when i put the wet dress for washing she threw a good old tantrum because that was the dress she wanted to wear and not the silly short set that i pulled out to replace it (because it doest need ironed, thankfully) . A few minutes later in a attempt to cheer herself up she went for a snack , well as its shopping day tomorrow we are low on everything and she decided a pack of dried Broad beans was just what she always wanted – another lovely tantrum follows. Have i mentioned the fit she threw when i wouldn't get stroller from the end room so she could play in it? No lets leave that one then.
So at this moment in time she is sitting in the highchair (tray removed where the pee was) eating leftover boiled egg (from lunch yesterday, must have escaped the cleaning somehow) while Eilidh moans and eats cheerios of the floor asking for dada. Can naptime just come a little sooner today please?

The darling of the Tea Party movement got her Revolutionary War facts mixed up while making an appearance in New Hampshire.
Michele Bachmann
NASHUA, N.H. - U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota stood before New Hampshire Republicans on Saturday clutching a tea bag, but her grasp on Revolutionary War geography wasn't quite as tight.
Before headlining a GOP fundraiser, the possible presidential hopeful told a group of students and conservative activists in Manchester, "You're the state where the shot was heard around the world in Lexington and Concord," according to video posted online by WMUR-TV.
The Revolutionary War's opening shots were fired in Massachusetts, not New Hampshire. Though Bachmann certainly isn't the first to confuse Concord, N.H., with Concord, Mass., her mistake was striking given her roots in the Tea Party movement, which takes its name from the dumping of tea into Boston Harbor by angry colonists in 1773.
Bachmann was greeted with applause when she asked, "How about a United States president that gets what the American people want in 2012?" and later proclaimed, "Are you in for 2012? I'm in!"
She later clarified that she is committed to denying President Obama a second term, not necessarily running herself. That decision will come by early summer, she said.
For the state that holds the earliest presidential primary, it was another Minnesota politician with possible White House aspirations. Bachmann's trip overlapped one day with former Gov. Tim Pawlenty's, offering voters a glimpse of their contrasting styles.
On Friday, in remarks at a New Hampshire hospital, Pawlenty offered subdued criticism of Obama's national health care law, saying, "I know the country just had a huge debate about all of this, and my side lost, at least for now. But I hope we can have a continued discussion." To be sure, he faced a roomful of skeptical physicians in one of the most liberal corners of the state, while Bachmann spoke before an enthusiastic, conservative crowd. She called Obama's health care overhaul the "ultimate example of arrogance."
"The real problem is the arrogant elites in Washington, D.C., who think they know how to run your lives far better than you," she said.
Bachmann, who only recently has begun traveling to early nominating states, is a favorite of the Tea Party in Congress, where she is in her third term. A formidable fundraiser, she's also built a national following through her blunt commentary on cable news shows.
Her speech was interrupted by protesters who chanted, "Michele Bachmann, we insist, end the AIDS treatment waiting list," a reference to a state and federally funded AIDS drug program. Many cash-strapped states have capped enrollment, dropped patients or instituted waiting lists. "It's OK," she joked after they were ushered out. "They just brought in the buses from Madison, Wisconsin."
During a stop in Manchester, N.H., Bachmann used her roots in Minnesota to good advantage. "I come from a very tough neighborhood," she said, trotting out the usual catalog of famous Minnesota Democrats: Hubert Humphrey, Eugene McCarthy, Walter Mondale, Paul Wellstone and Al Franken.
Bachmann also made time for a whistle stop at the iconic Calef's Country Store in Barrington, N.H.
"I like her," said deli worker Joel Sherburne. "I think she's real nice."
Sherburne didn't mind the crowd she brought either. "It's good for the candidates, it's good for the store," he said. "It's a 50-50 deal."
Staff writer Kevin Diaz contributed to this report.

Cambridge dig unearths history from Bronze Age to World War II
An archaeological dig in Cambridge has revealed the site's history from the Bronze Age to its role in World War II.
Excavation of the site in the north-west of the city began in October, ahead of a large-scale University of Cambridge development.
Roman roads and World War II practice trenches were amongst the discoveries.
Christopher Evans of Cambridge Archaeological Unit said: "Something that is going to be vibrant in the future was also vibrant in the past."
Archaeologists believe the site was first colonised for settlement in the Bronze Age and subsequently saw an Iron Age settlement.
'Surprise find'Bronze Age Britain
- In about 2,000 BC, travellers from Europe began arriving in Britain with tools and weapons made from a previously unknown material - bronze
- True bronze is a combination of 10% tin and 90% copper - both of which could be found in Britain
- It meant these tools and weapons could be produced and traded across the island
- The Bronze Age lasted about 1,500 years and also saw the introduction of textile production and more widespread agriculture
Source: BBC History
Mr Evans said the dig was the one of the largest excavations to have taken place in Cambridgeshire and had unearthed a "thriving" Roman settlement, from around 60-350AD.
"The site is 1,200m long, it's covering 14 hectares," Mr Evans said.
"We're investigating this great gravel ridge and finding dense Roman settlement almost continuously along the length of it."
Four Roman cemeteries and 25 human skeletons, some with their skulls missing, have been discovered along with thousands of other remains.
Archaeologists said it was a surprise to find the zigzag ditches thought to be part of Cambridge's defence preparations for the war.
Mr Evans said: "It all testifies that things change and that archaeology often erodes long-held landscape stereotypes.
"It's part of what makes fieldwork so exciting."

Shoppers brandishing smartphones, tablets, and other digital tools are poised to increase their gift buying this year, along with their overall holiday spending, according to Deloitte's 2014 Holiday Shopping Survey. A new infographic spotlights the economic trends, consumer shopping plans, and the technologies that will likely make this holiday memorable for everyone, particularly retailers.
As outsourcing's popularity soars among global companies, vendor management complexity and the prospect of increased regulation preoccupy CIOs and other executives. This infographic illustrates these and other findings from Deloitte's 2014 Global Outsourcing and Insourcing Survey.
Many customers hesitate to use the myriad mobile services offered by banks, insurers, and brokerages, citing concerns over security, privacy, and ease of use, according to a recent consumer survey. This Deloitte Center for Financial Services' infographic shows how financial services organizations can leverage advanced sensing, networking, and human interface technologies to help address customer concerns.
Findings from Deloitte LLP's 7th Annual Back-to-School Survey reveal that online shopping continues to grow in popularity while mobile and digital are influencing the purchase process during the end-of-summer shopping season more than ever.

Enterprises seeking to mitigate the security risks associated with mobile devices have their work cut out for them, but they can start by implementing a BYOD policy that strikes the appropriate balance between employee productivity and corporate control. Technologies including secure containers, encryption, and virtualization can also help keep corporate data safe on employee-owned devices.
A recent survey from Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited (DTTL) highlights trends in the way U.S. consumers use mobile devices, technologies, and services. The findings indicate consumers' attitudes and mobile behaviors are changing in ways that companies playing in the mobile space may not expect.
Re-engineering business processes around social technology capabilities is not a one-off project. Rather, it is part of a long-term strategy to recast the business in ways that support communication, collaboration, and innovation. Learn how CIOs are implementing social strategies, and the value they are helping create throughout the enterprise.
As the frequency and severity of cyber attacks continue to increase, CIOs are banking on a growing arsenal of forensic, logistics, and analytic technologies to understand and mitigate the risks their organizations face.
As it turns out, predictions that cloud-based ERP would soon bring about the demise of on-premise ERP engines may have been a bit hasty. By reengineering some systems and boosting memory and storage, enterprise system vendors have created more powerful ERP engines that use less power, deliver greater agility, and cost less to maintain.
In the open marketplace of IT products and services, some IT departments lack the skills needed to create the tools the business wants. By approaching design less as a short-lived development phase and more as a business discipline, CIOs can help reorient their IT organizations around innovation and, by doing so, overcome their current competitive disadvantage.
