Product description
Why do we mistrust people more in the UK than in Japan? Why do Americans have higher rates of teenage pregnancy than the French? What makes the Swedish thinner than the Greeks? The answer: inequality. This groundbreaking book, based on years of research, provides hard evidence to show: how almost everything - from life expectancy to depression levels, violence to illiteracy - is affected not by how wealthy a society is, but how equal it is; that societies with a bigger gap between rich and poor are bad for everyone in them - including the well-off; and, how we can find positive solutions and move towards a happier, fairer future. Urgent, provocative and genuinely uplifting, "The Spirit Level" has been heralded as providing a new way of thinking about ourselves and our communities, and could change the way you see the world.

At a D-I school near me, years ago, there was a tiny ballfield where you could park just on the other side of a fence along the foul lines, and cars frequently got hit. They eventually built a new stadium with a substantial wall, and moved the parking spots well away and started playing a goofy recording of a windshield being smashed after high fouls over the wall.2. Jose Is The Most Absurd Thing on the Site Posted: July 29, 2014 at 09:58 AM (#4759571)
Good to hear about something that isn't a simulacrum these days, even at the expense of the fan's windshield :)
That garage gets a couple of smashed windshields every year. It's always pretty entertaining.3. Dan Lee tips his cap respectfully to JackVincennes Posted: July 29, 2014 at 10:11 AM (#4759577)
The main parking lot at Thurman Munson Stadium in Canton (former home of the Eastern League Canton-Akron Indians) was/is behind the right-field fence. (Seen here. It's the gravel area just beyond the wall.)4. catomi01 Posted: July 29, 2014 at 11:22 AM (#4759617)
I saw a number of cars get plunked over the years. Seemed like Troy Neel would break a windshield every couple weeks.
We made a habit of parking as far as possible from the stadium.
guy on my softball team hit a pop up foul down the 1b line one time...wind took it and blew it into the parking lot - and then directly into his own windshield.5. RollingWave Posted: July 29, 2014 at 11:55 AM (#4759651)

I was killed on a Taiwanese board many years back by saying that Melky would have a very good career based on the fact that virtually anyone who had a solid season in age 21 or younger had pretty good careers, of course, since most the guys you would cite for those cases were hall of famers, the backlash virtually turned into a cult to put it mildly.
Huh, I just saw where someone registered www.melkycabreradidnotsmashawindshieldwithahomer.com. That's random.7. Joey B. Posted: July 29, 2014 at 12:43 PM (#4759697)

There's no truth though to the rumor that Cabrera tried to cover up the damage by installing a fake windshield in its place.

When I was in little league, one of the hitters on my team hit a foul popup that went right through the (open) sun roof of a car driving past the field.
Never even slowed down.
He should have his car taken away.10. PreservedFish Posted: July 29, 2014 at 01:57 PM (#4759743)

I'm kind of scared to look.
The avenue (Nebraska Ave.) behind my DC high school's former baseball field used to allow on-street parking between 9:30 in the morning and 4:00 in the afternoon, and the avenue was sitting right behind the right field fence that was all of 180' from home plate. Balls hit over the fence at that point were ruled ground rule singles, and since the games began at 3:00, more than a few of those singles wound up smashing through windshields.12. The Yankee Clapper Posted: July 29, 2014 at 03:18 PM (#4759788)
And in Griffith Stadium (1911-1961), there was a parking lot right behind home plate, where foul balls used to land on a regular basis. You parked there at your own risk, and if you didn't tip the parking lot attendant you might wind up with both a broken window and a slashed tire. That was one of many reasons that most people took the trolley to the ballpark.
Out of Fenway Park and right into some poor person's car.
More likely a one-percenter, given the price of tickets at Fenway.

Sounds something like the account I heard of why Cleon Jones batted righty though lefthanded. At the sandlot park where he played, anything over the short RF fence meant lost ball and game over, and as a lefty swinger he'd do that regularly, so he switched around so they could keep on playing, and it became a habit.
I did this once playing a pick-up game at the Loyola U "track" (is it still there?). We weren't supposed to play there but security was pretty lax about running us off. Wind was blowing "out" and I got under it just enough -- probably one of the longest balls I've ever hit (not that that's saying much). Like Melky, I was obviously roided up.15. Bunny Vincennes Posted: July 30, 2014 at 05:02 AM (#4760212)
And it was a Mercedes.
Also probably the fastest I've ever run.
Shortly after I moved to Madison my college buddies joined me for a beer fueled desire to play late night homerun derby contest at historic Breese Stevens Field. Its bordered by East Washington Boulevard, a major thoroughfair to the Cap Square. It was a WPA project where they now play soccer but it hosted baseball for years in the early to mid half of the 20th century. It plays to about 215' to the RF that borders the boulevard, and 660' to the LF corner, the park factors must have been insane. We were all right handers and easily jacking homeruns to RF. I don't know if anybody actually hit a car, but about 30 minutes into are game the police showed up and asked us to leave. They were polite.

From the Trade Debate: Democracy and Economics, Idealism and Politics
Published: May 25, 2000
(Page 2 of 2)
We are told every year that if we'll just extend normal trade for one more year, that jobs in this country will not be adversely affected. My district has lost manufacturing jobs to cheap Chinese labor every year I've been in Congress. And there are others of you who fit in that category. This is not just cheap labor, my friends. This is also slave labor.
We are told if we just will extend normal trade for one more year we won't have to worry so much about Red China dropping nuclear bombs on us because they're going to be much friendlier. Our relationship is going to be greatly improved.
Yet every single year that I've been in Congress, China has increased its nuclear arsenal with technology stolen from us and increased its threats to use them against American cities if we dare oppose their invasion of our allies.
We are told that if we extend normal trade relations for just one more year, the human rights in China will surely get better. The Christians will not be jailed for having Bibles, and Muslims will not be jailed for having the Koran, the Tibetans won't be jailed for simply following their traditional religion.
Yet every year that I've been in Congress, persecution of anyone in China who believes in a higher authority has gotten much worse. All of these things, all of them are worse after five years of what we have described as normal trade relations with China. . . .
THOMAS M. DAVIS, REPUBLICAN OF VIRGINIA -- I rise in strong support of this rule and for the resolution.
You know, for America this agreement is a one-way street. Our markets are already open to the Chinese. If there's going to be job loss, we've seen it in terms of some of these low-wage markets that have already moved to the Pacific Rim and to China and these other areas.
What this does for the first time, and by adopting P.N.T.R., China's markets are now going to be more accessible to American companies, American products: 1.2 billion Chinese. America only has 5 percent of the world's consumers. China is the largest -- second-largest -- economy in the world; 100 million Chinese today making $40,000 a year annually. A middle class that is burgeoning and growing, and this is going to increase the pressures for democratization inside of China.
China already joins the W.T.O. regardless of what we do here today. That already happens. The question is: Are American products, are American corporations, are American workers going to get the W.T.O. preference by our granting P.N.T.R. and does America get the benefits of the World Trade Organization tribunals for resolving trade issues that we don't get if we just go on to an annual basis? Under P.N.T.R. the answer is yes. . . .

It is extremely heavy, around 25 kg, and we sweat while we carried it to the car :-)
I looked it up on the net, it was manufactured around 1929.

Back in the 1980s, George Carlin had a famous bit in which he said, "A house is just a place to keep your stuff while you go out and get more stuff." One can only imagine what comedic inspiration the late performer would've mined from connected homes in 2015, which have the ability to direct us when to go get more "stuff" or, alternatively, fetch "stuff." As household connectivity increases due to consumer adoption of broadband and wireless networks, homes (and the objects in them) are getting smarter. Products available in the Internet of Things (IoT)-defined as a state in which everyday objects are networked wirelessly and imbued with the ability to communicate without human intervention-now include an egg carton that alerts a homeowner when it's down to the last two eggs and learning thermostats that moderate temperatures in part by sensing when the home is empty.

The Washington Post has an excellent, in-depth article today on the growing use of driver's license photo databases combined with face recognition analytics by police.
There are two ways to think about this. First, it is yet another long stride toward a surveillance society:
On the other hand, are we prepared to say that the police, once they identified the images of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects, could not run them against DMV databases to see if they could identify the suspects? (They did, and it was no help, the Post reports, but that's more a reflection of the technology's limits than an answer to the policy question.)
We have always focused our criticisms of face recognition technology on proposed mass surveillance uses. We have never criticized the technology's use, for example, in helping the police match a suspect photo against a book of mug shots of previous convicts. Typically in such cases, the software's operator will set a desired tolerance level, and the program will collect all the faces that come within that range of similarity, and then a human will inspect them to look for matches. I don't see any problems with this use of the technology.
When you expand that technique beyond mug shot books to DMV image databases of the entire population, however, it moves us into much more uneasy territory. Not only are such uses violations of the privacy principle that information collected for one purpose should not be repurposed without a subject's permission, but they also subject each citizen to the possibility that he or she will fall under the microscope of the police due to some misidentification.
Perhaps those objections can be overcome in certain serious situations. But this much is clear: neither the police nor others should have access to DMV image databases without good reason and systematic checks and balances to enforce that policy. If there is a strong criminal predicate, that is one thing, but we mustn't allow these databases to become fuel for petty status and identity checks—and certainly not used to enable mass suspicionless surveillance and tracking.

Airport Information Guide
Dublin Airport is the largest International Airport in Ireland, and services Dublin City and surrounding areas. The airport stands on the grounds of an old World War I airbase. Flights commenced to the UK in 1940 with a Terminal building still under construction. The old Terminal at Dublin Airport is today in use as offices of the DAA and is registered as a listed building. It can be seen and enjoyed on the raised walkway to Pier D from Terminal 1.
In 2010 Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) opened a second terminal to facilitate the growing number of passengers that were visiting Ireland each year. Terminal 2 is now a home to Aer Lingus as well as US airlines Delta, American Airlines and Middle East airlines Etihad & Emirates. For more information on Terminal 2 visit Dublin Airport T2 Guide.
During 2013, more than 20.2 million passengers travelled through the airport. The airport is located in Santry, North Dublin and is easily accessible via the M1 (from the city centre) or the M50. The airport is the home of Ireland's National carrier Aer Lingus and also no frills airline Ryanair. Although Ryanair services more routes out of Dublin Airport than Aer Lingus, Aer Lingus has the larger market share due to a greater flight frequency. Over the last 4 years, flights between Dublin Airport and the Middle East have become grown considerably.
The airport also offers US Customs and Border clearance to US-bound passengers. There are only a handful of airports outside of North America that offer this service. Passengers effectively complete US customs before taking off form Dublin Airport, meaning they arrive on US-soil with domestic-passenger status.
Car Rental At Dublin Airport
Dublin Airport is serviced by all the major car rental companies in both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. CARHIRE.ie rentals are serviced by Europcar at all locations in Ireland. Through Europcar, CARHIRE.ie have cars located at both terminals with the main car hire depot located on the grounds of Dublin Airport itself. Passengers who rent a car at Dublin Airport from CARHIRE.ie will be transported the short distance by bus to the on airport car rental depot.
Car Parking:
There are a short term car park near the main terminal and a long term one that is serviced by an airport shuttle bus. Both use a standard ticket system. Take your ticket on entering the car park, and keep it with you so that you can pay your parking charges before returning to your car.

One advantage of going meatless for a month: Learning new recipes. Certainly cooking is easier and faster when you're working familiar foods and recipes.
But it's a lot more fun -- at least in our house -- when we challenge ourselves to cook with unfamiliar ingredients like eggplant and sardines.
Here's a menu that involves both for our first week in our mostly meatless month. We made the Jalepeño Creamed Corn, Fallen Spinach Soufflé and Stuffed Poblanos over the weekend (the spinach and poblano dishes use eggs; picture above). I created the Roasted Root Vegetables based on a recipe in Gourmet magazine many years ago. I've lost the original, but this recreation works great.
Roasted Root Vegetables
Makes 6 Servings
3 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
Fennel bulb sliced
3 Carrots cut into 1-inch strips
2 Celery stalks coarsely chopped
2 Garlic cloves coarsely chopped
1 Green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 Cup onion chopped
1/2 Fingerling potatoes
Salt, pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat bottom of roasting pan with olive oil.
In a large bowl, toss carrots, celery, fennel bulb, garlic, onion and bell pepper with 2 tbsp. of olive oil and red wine vinegar. Mix in roasting pan with potatoes. Add salt and pepper and cook for about 90 minutes or until potatoes are tender. I've added fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme in the past, but the fennel bulb adds enough aromatic flavor to this dish for us.
Jalapeño Creamed Corn Recipe
I love the fresh corn part of this recipe, but it can be a lot of work. I use a serrated knife to score and scrape the corn from the cob. It's okay to substitute one can of creamed corn for half the fresh ears, but you're missing out if you don't use any fresh corn.
Stuffed Poblanos Recipe
I'm not a big fan of frying food -- I love the taste, just not the mess and added fat and calories. But this dish is really fantastic when you pull it off. You can skip the frying and roast the stuffed poblanos in the oven long enough to melt the cheese inside.
Fallen Spinach Soufflé Recipe
This makes a nice main dish or a good side. I sprinkle spiced almonds on top to add a little crunch factor.
Eggplant Lasagna Recipe
This is a new recipe for me, which I'm making this weekend. I'll be substituting acorn squash for pumpkin.
Spaghetti with Sardines, Dill and Fried Capers
Also new in our kitchen, this recipe is in keeping with our Mostly Meatless May rules: Try a new source of protein. In this case, sardines. I'll let you know how it goes.
Asparagus and Gruyére Tart
Asparagus is in season! This is a neat twist introduced to me via Twitter this month. Can't wait to bite into it.

We stayed 2 nights at Hockley in preparation for our son's wedding. We were lucky and had a Travelzoo voucher which made it very affordable. Our room was spacious with a balcony overlooking the gardens. All of the employees we encountered were most friendly and helpful.
We found the food very good. We had the wedding outside in the garden area. The backdrop for pictures was beautiful. The reception was on the outdoor deck and it also was perfect. The food was served in a timely manner.
I would say if you had to pay for breakfast, it was a little pricey but Orangeville is very close and there are a lot of restaurants there.

DEFINITION of 'Law Of Large Numbers'
A principle of probability and statistics which states that as a sample size grows, its mean will get closer and closer to the average of the whole population. The law of large numbers in the financial context has a different connotation, which is that a large entity which is growing rapidly cannot maintain that growth pace forever. The biggest of the blue chips, with market values in the hundreds of billions, are frequently cited as examples of this phenomenon.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Law Of Large Numbers'As an example, assume that company X has a market capitalization of $400 billion and company Y has a market capitalization of $5 billion. In order for company X to grow by 50%, it must increase its market capitalization by $200 billion, while company Y would only have to increase its market capitalization by $2.5 billion. The law of large numbers suggests that it is much more likely that company Y will be able to expand by 50% than company X.
The law of large numbers makes logical sense. If a large company continues to grow at 30-50% every year, it would eventually become bigger than the economy itself! Obviously, this can't happen and eventually growth has to slow down. As a result, investing in companies with very high market capitalization can dampen the potential for stock appreciation.

We're on the roof of the old Paramount Theater building stranded on the scaffolding behind the blinking neon Camel cigarettes sign. We spent the night holding on like leaves about to be blown away any minute.
It's well after midnight, and the street's quieted. When the rains came, the crowd finally settled down. We went for higher ground. Below us on the roof the Landlord lies on his back where we left him after dragging him, to save him from being trampled in the square.
Pete served in the last war, got his legs shattered and put back together, after spending a week booby trapped and left for dead in a trench with mud up to his teeth.
"I been on the big M, this heroin, dilaudid, Quaaludes, you name it," he tells me.
"All courtesy of Uncle Sam?"
"That's it."
"I been on the big M, this heroin, dilaudid, Quaaludes, you name it," he tells me.
"All courtesy of Uncle Sam?"
"That's it."
Down on the street the scent wafts up from the fires. Smaller ones still burn in odd corners here and there. Above the square on the Diamond Vision screen there's a simulcast of the latest Space Launch. Pete's an expert on this.
"They're carrying a serious payload," he tells me.
"This is one of the plutonium runs?" I ask him.
"Yeah, one false move and Florida's airborne."
"Why the risk?" I ask him.
"It's best not to look at it that way, man."
"This is one of the plutonium runs?" I ask him.
"Yeah, one false move and Florida's airborne."
"Why the risk?" I ask him.
"It's best not to look at it that way, man."
He trails off at the end of his sentence and slips the needle in his neck, right over the collarbone, his eyes glaze in desperate relief. He looks off at a point in the sky, above the ragged wispy clouds of smoke, above the glare of the great white way, his eyes blinking rapidly. Sweat forms on his upper lip, his teeth grind. When he releases the syringe he grabs tight to the cold metal to steady himself.
I look around at all the people up here. Strangers huddle together in twos and threes, trying to keep warm against a stiff wind. And everyone's soaked.
"I must have been here a month now," I tell Pete. "All the while people have been arriving at Times Square."
"Yeah," Pete says.
"I've met people here from every state in the country."
"Yeah," Pete says.
"I've met people here from every state in the country."
Pete's staring down at his father, thirty feet below us, the blinking lights of the Camel sign alternately turning his face deep sunset red, yellow, green or this ashy white. He doesn't move at all. He seems to be sleeping, but his eyes are wide open and he's staring into the sky.
In the empty lot on the corner of 42nd Street and 7th Avenue where our old building still used to be a matter of hours ago, I see the film crew setting up again. They've pulled up in their great Army transport trucks, ten feet high at the front fender, with the special high power headlights and riot horns.
They turn on a spotlight and start it slowly revolving around Times Square, pausing at five degree intervals on a perfect circular sweep: The Coca Cola billboard with people silhouetted against the flashing bright red neon light, the broken windows of a skyscraper penthouse floor never-used; the empty space of sky, swollen somehow, where a forty story hotel building stood for years. I remember the sign painted on the side, a cartoon drawing of a family arriving for a stay in the hotel. 700 rooms, it said, fully furnished with TV's and kitchenettes available. The largest hotel on the square no more.
I follow the spotlight on to the outline of a crane against the night, a giant War of the Worlds creature, pieces of its latest kill hanging from its teeth, gently trembling in the breeze. In another building the spot exposes the only lighted window in the entire place, dusty furniture and a shelf of books. There used to be publishing houses, sweat shops, accountants, lawyers, private dicks, artist studios, hat makers and barbershop slap strap manufacturers; primp secretaries who rode into the city on trains from all over the country. All gone.

Hope the instructions are easy to understand, because my english is bad
six screws (four Torx, two cross) solve. Back cover away from the frame, to use a pick or sharpened credit cards. Left, right and down the latches loosen with a pick, remove the back cover then simply
Remove all peripherals (camera, Vibi and sensors, antenna cable, DisplayPort connector, touch screen connector, flex connector). Carefully arrange with your fingernail.
Remove print. Pry with a little leverage from the Micro-USB connector her out.
Navi-board removed. Solve the double-sided adhesive with a plectrum in Naviboard. Be careful when introducing a pick, that no parts are damaged by the board. Then-board navigation system, together with double sided adhesive removed. In the camera switch is a barb, these purely press lightly with tweezers first, and then remove the camera switches to the whole Flex.
Display / touch screen front part. Gently (really gently) push plectrum between the front and display (not more than 2mm to 5mm, otherwise the display and touch separately). A drive around it once or twice to dissolve the glue. Then try to remove the display / touch screen from below (with my forth below by the Navi key, not the reverse). Watch out for the flex and connectors, so they are not damaged. In separate action all over the screen or there will never touch the spots and shadows on the display.

Thanks for all the hard work with these designs....
We used your designs on our last cruise in April... and we loved them. Any chance that you could make me a Mickey with a green graduation cap. We are going to be sailing about 3 days after my oldest graduates. Her name is Maegan...They have their own stateroom and I know she would loveit!!
Sorry to hear someone tried to profit from your designs.
Thanks for all the great designs. Your hard work is greatly appreciated.
Help!! I have been searching through images of magnets alllllll morning! I need blanks of the following??
Is it possible for the mickey heads one with New Englan Patriots, Boston Bruins??
Mickey head Ariel theme with name Allison?
Mickey Head mickey theme name Brian
Mickey head minnie theme name Dolores

Or if you have blanks I can add names??

OR try Creative DISigns Board
These are absolutely amazing!! Thank you SO much for sharing.
I agree with those who have suggested a cowboy hat. We're sailing out of Galveston in February and that would be a cute touch.
Would these work on other cruise lines?
I have never cruised before but am excited to be in the beginning planning stages of my DD's and my very first cruise early in 2014. These ear designs are AMAZING!!! Thank you SO much for sharing them with us and allowing us to show off your beautiful creations idrivealumina!
Love the ears! Can't wait to print them and use them on our first Disney cruise next month!
Any chance of getting a Mickey with a University of Michigan block yellow M? My DD would be thrilled!
Has anyone tried the Pluto one? It's always too small when I print it. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Thank you so much for sharing these! I have been looking and was wondering how I was going to do that.
I'm so excited!!
We are going on our first cruise in October and have started the countdown!!
We used some of these previously and got some wonderful comments from fellow cruisers - OP, thanks for making these available. You've added several since the last time we sailed.
These are so cute!! Can't wait to put it up on our door. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! These are awesome!!
These are wonderful! Thank you for sharing!! I plan on printing out Pluto.

Hi, Does anyone know if there is a translation of Az Alfold by Petofi Sandor?

Lovers to Friends: Part I
I still remember the day I told my mother I was gay.
She just laughed and studied my face.
She didnt take me serious until the day she met Brittney.
She told me I was too young to know my sexuality.
She told me that curiosity had only gotten the best of me,
but I knew since the age of ten that I liked girls as more than friends.
I was only fifteen when I fell in love and it was with a female.
A female i grew to know and love very well.
You see this isn't a fairy tale.
There isnt a happy ending.
This is the tale of two lovers who became enemies.
It started five years ago, when I was just a sophomore.
We shared the same class and nothing more at all.
To this day I cant recall what made us meet.
I just know I saw her as someone funny, and sweet.
I loved the braces on her teeth.
I loved the shoes that were on her feet.
The gray hairs on her head, and her fat chubby cheeks.
She was just so perfect to me.
So perfect and unique.
She would barely speak.
Her words turned to laughs and giggles.
Sounds that made me weak, and made my heart leap.
Over a course of weeks I grew feelings I couldn't sweep under the rug.
I knew than in that desk behind her that she was my preferred drug.
I gave her my number and reminded her to call.
My mind was gone that entire day between those school walls.
Even on the bus trip home it was still gone.
I rushed through the front door and I ran to the phone, and I waited and sat there for what felt like too long.
When the phone rung time stopped.
The only sound that was present was the ring ring as my stomach dropped.
I wonder if she could hear my heart singing, because it was singing and it was singing beautifully.
Our conversation was long.
My words were clumsy as I worked up the courage to ask her if she would date me.
when I finally asked she didnt give me the answer I wanted to hear.
It was clear her feelings werent the same.
They werent even a tad bit near the same.
Soon after reaching the truth to what I feared the conversation ended. I showered and I went to bed.
I dreaded going to school the next day.
In my head I pictured her laughing in my face.
I nearly fainted when her friend came up to me.
She asked if I really liked Brittney.
Part of me wanted to lie, but for some reason I replied yes.
She pressed me with more questions and to her I confessed the feelings that I had hidden in the abyss.
The conversation was dismissed as we rushed to our classes.
In the class with my crush I avoided her eyes that watched me through her glasses....

Poem: Blueprint of a Dream
I've got the blueprint of a dream,
That I'm not sure I understand,
Why the people hurry bye,
And never look me in the eye,
But often stop and stare.
At the endless shifting sand,
In the hourglass in my hand.

I've been working on this poem since Sunday night... The fog that morning was what inspired me.
A Visitor in the Morning Fog
Written by Adam M. Snow
Oh, what a stage this morning break;
on waking to a misty light.
My heart is weak, I feel it ache
upon this morning sight.
So thick the fog the dawn opaque,
which blocks the morning bright.
Unlike the sun my heart won't hide,
nor in the fog where it dwells.
And even though with all my pride,
this hateful heart, I knew so well,
had left this man alone to stride
in this small smoky hell.
But in this fog a creature stirs,
with wings to which to flutter.
And though my eyes a blur,
I hear those wings begin to sputter.
But if it is as I should infer,
'tis some black bird aflutter.
To be here now where I have stood
amidst the winter's fog.
It perched itself upon a wood,
a branch that fell into a log;
as nature shaped itself, it would
remove the gowans frae the bog.
O blackened creature piercing eyes,
It pierces my soul and steals my heart.
I hear its scornful cries
as it rips my soul apart.
As truth be told, I dare not lie;
I cannot cease this beating heart.
The crow that craves its carrion,
can never hide from me.
The pair of us shall carry on
in this fog, no men can see.
Nor shall they hear its clarion,
its squawking in an offset key.
It mocks me with its devilish stare,
in this fog upon this stage.
Such risk this foulest bird would dare,
then as to assuage
the gripes of this a smoky air
in a fog-like cage.
It speaks to me on this wise,
" I shall never let you die."
said he with his scornful cries,
spreading wings now as to fly.
That ol' bird now on arise,
soaring to the sun on high.
Now I'm left alone to ponder,
who or what that crow may be.
Alone am I left to wander,
while that bird is flying free.
In the mist now yonder,
I am stricken with this misery.
For it twas I the darkened bird,
that tore my soul apart;
Stole my voice, my words,
my virgin beating heart.
I feel this day absurd;
cursed me since the start.

title: If You Could
If you could step... Back,
where would you be,
what would you see,
would you see me;
If you could step... Back,
what would you change,
what would you re-arrange,
would you change me;
If you could step... Back,
who would you be,
and if you could be,
would you be me.

Just looking for some opinions and what not about my poem
Life has a funny way
Of unfolding itself
You can be happy one day
The next, forgotten on a shelf
People come and go
Nobody sticks around forever
Eventually you get used to the flow
Do you get over it?Never
You still venture forth
Living like everything's fine
You try to forget and move on
Never giving anybody a sign
You start to stay inside
Both your house and yourself
Deep down a part died
Easier to leave your feelings on that shelf
You notice yourself start to change
Not who you used to be
You start to feel strange
As you adapt to this new "me"
Life makes you wonder
Why do you deserve this?
Why is your life in sunder?
What did you miss?
You wrack your brain
Figuring out where you went wrong
Only thing you find is pain
You start to think you don't belong
Slipping into a dense fog
Your mind begins to shut down
Feels like your life's in a bog
In bad thoughts you drown
Your sorrows are all you've got
Joy has completely gone
Everything you've sought
Disappeared, still you carry on
Soon you stop and think
Why carry on this pain?
How much further can you sink?
Why is it so hard to explain?
Death creeps in as a thought
The only way you can find
To end all this suffering you're wrought
To escape the prison of your mind
Life unfolds in many ways
Not everybody gets a good hand
Your whole life could turn ablaze
Because not everyone's life is grand
Anthony Michaels

I have two versions of this poem. I need help picking the best one and then polishing the grammar. I'm not a poet, this is the only poem I've ever written and that was 20 years ago. I have no idea about syntax and how to structure a poem?
Version 1:
Tool, key to understanding, window to the world, friend to all.
Family tree that unifies all people and things.
Lover of history, the arts, science, and all things good.
Who feels the triumphs, victories, and downfalls of humankind.
Who needs to be cared for and nurtured.
Who fears ignorance and misuse.
Who gives everything to all who ask.
Inherent in all people.
Version 2:
Tool, key to understanding, window to the world, friend to all.
Family tree that unifies all people and things.
Lover of history, the arts, science, and all things good.
Who feels the triumphs, victories, and downfalls of humankind.
That needs to be cared for and nurtured.
Who fears ignorance and misuse, yet gives everything to all who ask.
Inherent in all people.

These words are torn from the mind of the hopeless-
Far to fragile to be spoken; repressed to self-destruction in motion.
For their own sake I will insist I'm not broken
as i alter each thought with methamphetamines narcotic potions.
Terror reeks havoc every night in my dreams;
My veins are the canvas, image them as they bleed.
I keep my demons alive, for off my sorrow they feed-
and my past repeats in my head as if in black and white scenes.
I draw ice from my pipe- recall his grip, fearsomely tight,
Then my world shatters around me; I must stay, I must fight.
Each days darkest hour, each sullen night's cries-
Self-Infliction of pain is the only way I know I'm alive.
Since my earliest of years I have craved suicide-
images of nooses and razors infect the back of my mind.
So don't mourn for me, love, when I choose to die,
each day on this earth amounts merely of much wasted time.

Sick in the Head
(Looking for members to read, rate and comment on poetry,
I'll do the same.!)
Empty inside, but not empty at mind-
For i know this place is not my home.
Not an ounce of this misery will mend with time-
In the arms of loved ones, still I feel alone.
Sick inside of my body, sick inside my mind-
An illness that spreads deep into my bones.
Not a thing changes with each waking sunrise-
I've carved my fate into my tombstone.
I can't find the strength to simply get out of bed,
I feel ill in my body because i am sick in the head.
My thoughts reek of anguish, contemplations of dread
With an anecdote that has narrowed down only to death.
But still I grasp hope, maybe one day I'll be fine.
Don't cry for me, I'm returning home.
To see bliss on this earth- my eyes, they fall blind.
But as i fade from existence, i hear them cry, " please, don't go."Replies for this message:

Such lamentation, and vividness. It is as if the speaker turns to the reader for comfort; for a deeper connection. But at the same time doubts there will ever be a connection or for that matter a bit ... more

Last Moment
the trumpets of sign of leaving begun,
just some months left, to cry, miss
the voyage that we' ve done till now
the old memories haunts,
move aside every now and then,
fills the gaps formed in the deep of the never ending consuming mind,
retrieve the thirst of the desert with little joys of tear,
and soon it turns all black,
the place where we learn, play
and dream with all our crazy fantasies,
sheded off quickly in the blink of eye
the fostering of mind that have obtained
cries loudly, deep in the core of the heart,
strong enough to overcome, but afraid
to take next stair of this new world
world is like a up-down stairs,
some falls, some lives,
but the best part, it never stops
whosoever may come, he' ve to go
meet the real world, that falls aside you,
challenges you, tries to find a place that suits you
mind ponders it all through
but who is responsible for this???

Why do we listen to music? Every listener has his or her own answer. But maybe we're all hoping to be restored, revived in some way. And that's what Dallas band Valise is after on the new, spirited chamber-folk track "Dialogue."
With an eerie and intimate ambience, the new single "Black Cat White Cat" by Annalibera seduces on the strength of Anna Gebhardt's searing alto and dreamy imagism.
A lot of bands are described as "dream pop" these days. But Brooklyn-based group Bonsai, led by singer and songwriter Simone Stevens, makes that description more than a label on the gloriously atmospheric "I Fashion You're a Dreamer."
Enigmatic Los Angeles-based musician Autumn in June makes electronic music that unites late-night contemplation with even-later-night dance-floor grooves. "Weeks" is chilled-out electro-pop, but not so chilled out as to leave the hooks behind.
Recorded in an old dance hall transformed into a studio in the Crescent City, the track "The Things We Do" by Rahim Quazi is piano and string-filled Sinatra-esque pop for the 21st century.
Anchored in the singing and songwriting duo of Argentine-born Max Claps and James Hoare (of Veronica Falls), the London band the Proper Ornaments revives psychedelic pop with hints of the Velvet Underground and contemporary bands like Real Estate.
"I just wanna have a good time," wails Julia Shapiro of Seattle band Chastity Belt, but the good times sound over for good on the deliciously dark and doom-ridden "Time to Go Home," a party-ender to end all parties.
Ever since Moby's seminal album "Play" (if not before), there's been no shortage of electronic-minded artists combining individually-crafted roots music with mass-produced circuitry. Hidden in the Sun is part of that lineage, but on the lovely "San Francisco Blues" the band simply sounds like a band, playing original blues, creating original beauty.
In lesser hands, a country-folk cover of Cake's "Jesus Wrote a Blank Check" would bounce all the way to Nazareth. But when channeled through St. Louis singer and songwriter Beth Bombara's lilting voice and her band's banjo and doghouse bass-driven free-for-all it rings out rich and clear.
Supporting music means buying music, and there's no better way to do that than at your favorite local record store. And what was St. Louis buying this year? Find out in our top 50 seller lists from Euclid Records and Vintage Vinyl.

Rated 4 out of 5 by MayReston Great staff and convenient shuttle service Although I had great interactions with your front desk staff, and excellent service from your shuttle both for local travel to the Reston Town Center and the airport, my multiple experiences in the Cosmopolitan Bar and the Syrah Restaurant were less than satisfactory. Although the staff were pleasant, it seemed from the customer perspective that you were understaffed to manage guests, particularly when you had multiple guests from the organized meetings being held in your facilities need service. Two separate nights (13May and 15May) in the bar I waited a prolonged time for service and to receive the bill, and lunch on May 15th was so delayed for many of our participants that we were forced to change the schedule of the meeting. I will note that for the buffet breakfast I was seated quickly and your coupons negated the need for a bill delivered to the table which worked very well. I suspect that these issues could be easily solved with staffing management focused on predicting when additional staff are required for planned meetings. May 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by kfhoz Convienent to Dulles Airport Great berry bowl in the restaurant. Lots of hot water plenty enough for a hot shower in the mornings, but not quite very hot water for a bath (the water cools in the tub). Nice to get the $5 certificate if refuse room service, and good for the environment. June 3, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Katherine08 Staff Service I arrived before noon. I was not expecting a room to be available. The person behind the desk went out of her way to make be feel welcome and comfortable as she investigated when a room might be available. I was in my room within 30 min. June 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Juice1220 Christmas Holiday Visit We always stay at this Sheraton Hotel when we visit our children in Vienna. The personnel are always attentive & courteous. Very fast check-in & check-out with no frills. Love the sixth floor Club-lounge & exercise room which we always use if possible. January 7, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by rlee2020 Great hotel but heating system very noisy. The majority of the Sheraton hotels in the world sets high standards for quality and cleaniness. Reston Sheraton is no exception. My only complaint is that the heating system goes on and off throughout the night waking me up every time it cycles on. March 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by simon123 One of the best Sheraton's Great location. Great serviced. Teresa at the front desk was very helpful and made checking in easy September 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MarG6 "Our home away from home" Always grateful with Reston Sheraton, all the staff members are very professional and provide us their best at all times, our kids and ourselves we all feel that the Sheraton in Reston is our home away from home and we all feel safe and happy!

Rated 5 out of 5 by simon123 Great stay This is one of the best Sheratons I've been to. Rowan at the front desk was very helpful with me finding my way around the area. Highly recommended. August 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by JTBPOP General Comments Assigned room was not very handicapped friendly. Very small bathroom and height of bed were difficult to overcome. Hostess and waiter (Manuel) at breakfast in the restaurant (Syrah) were excellent. I hope you give them some recognition. July 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jeannepa Comfortable, Clean, safe, This hotel is updated, comfortable rooms, all-around good place to stay for the price. I am usually traveling here on weekends so the hotel is not crowded unless there is a special event. August 5, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by EMThree Needs improvement I had numerous problems with the wireless internet access on multiple days.

Rated 4 out of 5 by PaleoGuy Mixed feelings... Sheraton Reston - room was very nice, clean, bed very comfortable, I like the different kinds of pillows to choose from. Strong, free internet connection is always a must, and delivered here. I had to wait almost an hour for the shuttle, however, even though the staff promised several times it would be there in "just a few minutes". There were 7-8 people waiting, middle of the day. Otherwise, the shuttle service was very good. I was at a conference there for a group of 150. I needed to show some computer software, intending to use a monitor brought by the host of the conference. The monitor failed, and I tried to find one to rent. The desk clerk was certain that the hotel had nothing of the sort, but the conference host knew that they did. However upon finding the AV guy, they wanted to charge $250 for a monitor for just a few hours. Of course, one can go to any retailer down the street and buy a big screen monitor for that. I felt like instead of trying to help out the customer, the hotel was gouging me. Really, why the ridiculous cost of rental??? September 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Barakat Highly Recommended Great hotel. Excellent Location with very clean and inviting lobby. At arrival I was greeted by Jesse at the front desk which intself made me feel at home. Tony went out his way to make my stay extremely pleasent. Way to go Sheraton November 12, 2012

Rated 1 out of 5 by JAY28 Rude and unwelcoming My interaction with the rooms manager was horrible. I had to call 4 times and wait on hold the last time for over five minutes to get a rude and inhospitable response. I WILL NEVER STAY AT THIS OR ANY OTHER SHERATON AGAIN! December 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by RJGJr Very friendly and helpful staff I am a frequent guest at this hotel and that is largely due to the friendliness and competence of the excellent staff. August 31, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by treasurer69 Furniture Furniture was very uncomfortable to sit in for an extended time. Linens should all be white not cream and white combined. Restaurant staff at breakfast was very professional. They can not handle large groups at one time. August 12, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by Monica415 I've enjoyed my stay very much. Everything was wonderful about my stay. From the time I checked in, I felt comfortable, relaxed and all my needs were accommodated. If my company sends me to Reston again, I will be sure to book my room at the Sheraton. April 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by BloJoe52 Exceptional restaurant staff It was my pleasure to eat three excellent meals in your restaurant. The staff during my two breakfasts and one dinner were outstanding. These employees could teach others about the true meaning of "customer service". January 28, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by DecafCoffee This hotel did not cater to the decaf coffee drinker. There was no decaf coffee in the Club. Each day I asked for multiple packs of decaf coffee and Splenda. I never got them without also having to call the desk and have it sent up. Otherwise, it was a nice hotel. January 30, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by CaptainRoger Nice area Close to golf course. Beds are Nice. Airport pickup is a little slow at times as shuttle is shared with Westin but not that bad unless it gets full. Need more close by restaurants but overall a nice hotel. April 17, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by WhyDoIHaveToPickANickname I always sleep well at the Sheraton It's a bit out of the way, and there really isn't a whole lot to do in Reston if you're on vacation, but for business travel -- if you have to be in the area -- this hotel is my first choice. May 31, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by CanuckTraveler Wouldn't stay here again Very disappointed in my overall stay. Rooms were dated, lobby was dated and overall experience was disappointing. It looks like they may be renovating but until they resolve that I wouldnt stay there. March 7, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by anonymous7 Need some updates The rooms need to be updated with brighter lighting and desk outlets. Espresso machine by front desk was not working. Yet the font desk was not aware. No urgency to get it fixed. The bed was too soft. February 26, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by balkhafa Good for business Quick business trip to Reston VA area. Find the hotel to be suitable to meet and comfortable. Seems it was newly renovated property and well located within the corporate area within Reston area. April 29, 2014

Can Lenten roses be divided?
Yes they can. Don't divide to often as usually the ones you divide will not bloom the following year.
When is the best time to divide them?
I divided mine last year after they finished blooming and I am happy to say I lost nary a division.

Jungle Party Hostal & Cafe
Jungle Party Guesthouse
This guesthouse was full when we came there to find a room, and I must say I'm happy about that. The location of the hostel is great, the prices are good and the inside looked nice. But... When we came in all we saw were "gringo's" hanging around in the lobby. Not that I have something against westerners, but when I'm in Central America I'd like to keep it to the local people as much as possible. Jungle Party definitely is not the place to be if you agree with me. Even the staff is American and when you enter the guesthouse all you will hear is a "Hello, good afternoon..." instead of the "Hola, buenas tardes..." that I'd like to hear.
Some of you will probably have no problem at all with the "problems" I just mentioned, but hopefully this will help those who'd like to stay between the local people as much as possible.
Directions: One block west and two blocks north from the Parque Central
Hostel with a character
Antigua is quite expensive comparing to other Guatemalan towns and that includes lodging. Town is full of nice and pricey hotels, and some of them reminded me of luxurious hotels in Italy and Spain. There aren't too many budget accommodation options that offer reasonable quality and value for the price. So we were lucky when we ran into this hostel. It is not the neatest place on earth but it has special charm and unique character.
Unique Quality: Well the character is number one quality, staff in no.2, and fun environment is no.3. They also have free internet, and breakfast is included in decent US$6.75 price for the 4-bed dorm.
