Postoperative Inflammation and Pain: Elimination of the Dynamic Duo to Improve Patient Outcomes
SAN DIEGO — New oval suction rings may be help create smaller oval flaps during myopic LASIK surgery, according to a presentation here at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery annual meeting.
Mohamed El-Kateb, MD, PhD, and colleagues evaluated the flap dimensions of 30 patients who underwent myopic LASIK surgery using a regular rounded ring in one eye and a new oval suction ring in the other eye. Group 1 included 40 eyes in which +1 rounded or oval rings were used, and group 2 included 20 eyes in which +2 rounded or oval rings were used.
This activity is supported by an educational grant from Bausch + Lomb.

The BBA's Public Service blog, Beyond the Billable is your one stop shop for everything Public Service at the BBA. Check it out here.
With the goal of certifying lawyers to provide limited assistance representation (LAR) to clients in the Probate and Family Court and also in Housing Court, the BBA has convened at least two LAR programs since the beginning of 2013. This month we posed the question on the minds of many attorneys: Can a Lawyer Make a Living Doing LAR for Paying Clients? To answer that question we turned to two solo practitioners -- both of whom are veterans in providing LAR services to paying client -- Cynthia E. MacCausland and Laura Unflat. Cynthia practices mostly in Probate & Family Court, but occasionally in Housing Court; her office is in Norwood. Laura limits her practice to the Probate & Family Courts in Norfolk, Middlesex and Suffolk Counties; her office is in Wellesley.
Without hesitation, both attorneys responded "yes" to the question of whether LAR is a viable business model. MacCausland reports that as much as 80 per cent of her practice involves LAR, while for Unflat, the percentage varies from month to month. According to the two lawyers, LAR practitioners typically require the fees for each "court event" to be paid up front. Unflat charges an hourly fee, and says she is usually able to predict what a particular event will cost. MacCausland offers her clients a flat fee, with a sliding scale based on their circumstances. "LAR is a great way to run a practice that's more efficient, and offers clients a different option than the traditional hourly retainer, and protects the attorney more than a traditional retainer relationship," says MacCausland. Unflat says she offers LAR to many of her divorce clients. "I am sometimes involved early, for instance in the temporary orders of a divorce case," she says. "My goal is to avoid the time and expense of a trial. This is beneficial to both the client and the court." What both attorneys cite as a significant benefit of their filing a limited appearance is that they need only represent a client for a particular event. They are under no obligation to represent the client at trial, which is especially helpful when there's an attorney/client incompatibility or the client can't afford a trial. Two final comments on the economics of doing paying LAR work... "LAR doesn't always mean low-income," says MacCausland. "You can do LAR with wealthy clients. Everybody wants to know what it costs no matter how much money they have." "In some situations you're better off economically doing LAR, because you're getting paid for the work you do, and not spending time on collections," says Unflat.

Explore Bergen and the western fjords Bergen and around The western fjords Share Bergen has a first-rate supply of restaurants, the pick of which focus on seafood – the city's main gastronomic asset. The pricier tourist haunts are concentrated on the Bryggen, but these should not be dismissed out of hand – several are very good indeed. Other, marginally less expensive, restaurants dot the side streets behind the Bryggen and there's another cluster on and around Engen. Many locals, however, tend to eat more economically and informally at the city's many café-bars that are dotted all over the city centre – as are the city's coffee houses. Read More

In this course, author Christopher Breen examines Mac OS X Mountain Lion, the latest version of the Apple operating system. The course takes a look at the enhancements to messages, contacts, calendars, mail, Safari, and expanded iCloud remote storage options, as well as brand-new features such as AirPlay mirroring, which makes it simple to wirelessly project your Mac screen onto an Apple TV–connected television, the Game Center app, Dictation, and Gatekeeper security protections.
Notes is yet another iOS application that's made its way to Mountain Lion. However, unlike the mobile version of Notes and Apple's long-in-the-tooth Stickies application, this version of Notes is reasonably versatile, like so. So we'll launch Notes and you can see something similar to the iOS's Notes app. Along the left side of the window is a list of notes that you have created, and to the right is the contents of the selected note. If you go to the View menu and choose Show Folder List or click the Show Folder List button on the bottom of the window, you'll see a third pane, which includes all the accounts that you have that support notes, that is, all the IMAP email accounts you use.
Unlike other Mountain Lion applications, Notes uses IMAP to transfer notes from device to device rather than iCloud synching. Within this list you can select an account to see the notes it contains. You can additionally create folders. I'll go to File > New Folder, and I've created a new folder within the selected account. To create a new note, just click on the plus button and a note will be created within the selected folder.
Notice when you type the title of the note becomes the first few words that you've entered into the note. You can also move notes between folders. So for example, I have my new note. I can move it into my other Notes folder, and there it is. Composing a note is pretty much what you'd expect. So let's create another note. You just create a new note and start typing the notes area.
What is unexpected and welcome is that you can embed links, files, and images in a note, as well as change the formatting. So for example, I can highlight this text, I can go to the Format menu and choose Font, and you see that I have a choice of three default fonts. So I'll change this from Noteworthy to Marker Felt and then I can change it again to Helvetica. But you can do more than that. Back to Format > Fonts. Choose Show Fonts and I can then apply any font that I have on my Mac.
I can also change the color of the text and I can change its size. Note, however, that you can't set one of these other fonts as a default; you only have those three default font settings. There are a few other things you can do with the formatting. You can align your text left, center, justified, or right. You can change the Writing Direction from Left to Right to Right to Left. You can create a list if you like--so Bulleted, Dashed, or Numbered--and you can change the Indentation.
Now let's talk about embedding. I am going to open Safari, go to macworld.com, and then I can click on the icon of the address and I can drag it into my note. When I do that, this becomes a clickable link. So I'll quit Safari, click on the link, Safari launches, and it takes me to that web site. Similarly, I can drag files into my note. So we'll go to the Finder.
I'll go to my Documents folder. Here is a very important document. Knock that down a couple spaces, and now my file is embedded. If I were then to open this note on a different Macintosh, double-click on that file, it would open. Also, I can embed images. So I'll go to my Pictures folder and I can drag in this beach picture, and here it is. And again, if you were to look at this note on another Mac, the image would be embedded.
Now, you notice that I keep saying Mac rather than iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, and that is because, at least as I record this, when notes are synced with your iOS devices, those attachments don't work. You may see them as paperclip icons, but no amount of tapping on them will make them open. Notes, like some other Mountain Lion applications, include a Share button, so when you click on it, you see have you have a couple of options. One is to email the note and the other is to message. So choose Email, Mail launches, and it contains the contents of your note, along with all the embedded objects.
And if I click on Message, the contents of the note will be attached to the message. You'll note, however, that the link appears as text, but my picture is there, and my document is attached as well. To send it I just address it, click on Send, and off it goes. If you would like to add other accounts to the Notes application, all you have to do is to go to System Preferences > Mail, Contacts & Calendars, choose the account that you'd like to sync notes with, and then enable the Notes option.
When you do that, the account will appear in the left panel of the Notes application. And that's Notes in a nutshell.

Author's note:
After being a HS English teacher for 19 years, I decided that it was time to try to follow my deep desire to become the poet I'd always wanted to be. I knew that I wanted to work with Brenda Hillman because her books amazed me and left me feeling changed, so I applied to Saint Mary's MFA. Brenda was even more amazing as a teacher than I had hoped for. Her candor and wit and compassion as an instructor and guide allowed me to become adept at finding the ways that I could continue to grow as a writer, with rigor and deep intuition. And, I will add that the SMC MFA program is very thoughtfully constructed to offer a writer both a sense of the value of community and the tools to help one find and follow one's own trajectory.
- Rusty's poem "Want" is currently featured in Poets.org's "poem-a-day". Congratulations Rusty! Check it out here.
Rusty Morrison's poem Fallacy has been featured by PEN America in the PEN Poetry Series.

This article examines the tensions and related dilemmas which emerge as part of governance strategies that change the relationship between citizens and public welfare services. This includes both participation through free choice and citizen participation in networks. The first time of participation is closely linked to New Public Management and is specifically characterized by an interplay between network and hierarchy. The article explores the term and implementation of "consumer citizens" and its unintended aspects of such a process. Moreover, the article analyzes other initiatives, which have been developed as part of the reform of public services, especially the increasingly significant emphasis on public participation. The article suggests that the co-existence of different forms of governance requires a critical perspective, because such co-existence often leads to dilemmas that may be difficult to solve.

Born Mac Rebennack, Dr. John has been on a creative roll for years, following a period of relative inactivity and indifferent albums in the late '70s through the mid-'80s. The re-resurgence started with his Grammy-winning 1989 album of standards, In a Sentimental Mood. In 1992 came the wholly fucking superb Goin' Back to New Orleans, a collection of traditional Crescent City tunes played with some of the city's most esteemed veterans. Television (1994) was a hot funk disc, almost the artistic equal of his most popular album, 1973's In the Right Place. Anutha Zone, a spooky-assed voodoo-funk-blues outing, was among the best albums of 1998. The Doctor's new CD, Duke Elegant, is a tribute to Duke Ellington, interpreting the master's classics as funk/bop with a tight, fine jazz sextet.
Etta James and Dr. John in one night on one stage? This is as good as it gets—don't miss it!
There are lots of other great shows going on this week, but there's not enough space here to do justice to them all. Still, I'd be remiss if I didn't at least point out that living legend RAY CHARLES is at the Orange County Performing Arts Center on Friday and Saturday nights; RED MEAT—a very entertainingly silly-assed hillbilly band produced by Dave Alvin—plays the Abilene Rose on Friday night; local workingman's hero CHRIS GAFFNEY will be at the Blue Cafe on Sunday night; and juju bwana KING SUNNY ADE plays the Coach House on Monday night. Weeks like these make OC residency seem worth putting up with the Orange Crush, George Argyros and the Dornan family, don't they?
Etta James and Dr. John perform at the Sun Theatre, 2200 E. Katella Ave., Anaheim, (714) 712-2700. Tues., 8:30 p.m. $42.50; Ray Charles plays at the Orange County Performing Arts Center, 600 Town Center Dr., Costa Mesa, (714) 556-2787. Fri.-Sat., 8 p.m. $23-$67; Red Meat plays at the Abilene Rose, 10830 Warner Ave., Fountain Valley, (714) 963-1700. Fri., 8:30 p.m. $7; Chris Gaffney & the Cold Hard Facts perform at the Blue Cafe, 210 The Promenade, Long Beach, (562) 983-7111. Sun., 9:30 p.m. $7; King Sunny Ade plays at the Coach House, 33157 Camino Capistrano, San Juan Capistrano, (949) 496-8930. Mon., 8 p.m. $17.50.

I'm at work and we're trying to convert a SWF/FLV file to a SCR file to make a screensaver for a client.
Does anyone know of any programs that do this that are free or in the $30—$40 range? It must be mac osx compatible and make it into a .SCR file.

I installed additional wheels that had broken off. This was on my elderly mother's dishwasher in Iowa. I was visiting from California for a week when I discovered it was broken. I worried about getting the parts because I was not familiar with the area. PartSelect saved me by getting the parts delivered before I flew back to California. It was really great. Thanks,

She Liked Butterflies With a youthful spirit; She laughed in the breeze. Dancing in the wind; Lighting on trees. Golden haired child; A laugh like sunshine. Beautiful , free, and wild; Artistically inclined. One day she decided to fly away; In a letter she said her good-byes. When asked about her, I say; She liked butterflies. Her spirit now flutters free; With her bright colored friends with wings. Sometimes I think I can see; Her… among life's most beautiful things. In the summer when the Monarchs return; There is always one in the midst of the rest. Where they gather together in the wild mountain ferns; Who appears to me as an honored guest. Then she flies away once more; For she was never meant to stay. Like she did many years before; To return another summer day. Darlene Doll Smith
In this magical forest, in every enchanted tree, There lived odd creatures that are so rare to see, White unicorns and tiny fairies with glowing wings, Huge, green dragons and a mermaid who sings, So many stories this curious, little girl had heard, Though, she did not believe in a single word. She moved the long grass and peered through, To find a babbling brook with waters of blue, Her eyes grew wide and she could not speak, When she saw what was floating along the creek, A tiny, glowing fairy was sitting upon a daisy, Who was gazing at the sky and feeling quite lazy. The sprite was frightened by this sweet, little girl, Who was curiously twisting a little, blonde curl, The fairy jumped up from the daisy and into flight, The innocent, little girl had meant her no fright, She watched with wonder as she flew away, And wanted to catch her and ask her to stay. All of a sudden this girl began to slowly shrink, In her little mind she had no idea what to think, When a giant butterfly had just landed at her side, She quickly grabbed onto it's wings to go for a ride, She could tell this sprite stories she had never heard, And wondered if she would believe in a single word. Roger Horsch's contest - "The Magical Forest"
The sweet songs of birds, We hand in hand across the lawn, Pansies white yellow and violet Tossing their heads in the breeze. Somewhere the sound of falling leaves. The sound of squirrel cracking the walnut. Calm weather warm sun, White fluffy clouds forming different shapes, A passenger flight in the blue sky, Sun born in the horizon and about to fade in the horizon, Both our heartbeats echo inside of chest, Shutting and opening of our lips, Your unkempt hair flying backwards, Yellowish west sky. Heart shaped fig leaf's shadow. If I could stop this world from spinning, I would do so, Just to be with you In this autumn evening.
Enter a storybook tale Where I can be The heroine you hail Lucid dreams of soft reflection A touch heated with lust and desired protection A breathe a gasp as we succeed Join the fairytale with me Valiant night within dark eyes the right movement and I make them shine like moonlight on the steamy hot spring care to follow for a little dip with me Trailing like the water at my fingertips Grasp me around my hips As close as the breeze on my skin Whisper lies as I let you in Lips mumbling up my thighs bare heart exposed to the sky fire burning in my veins Am I a mistress of this lust or simply a slave Trembling with desire Take me till we've lost count of the hours enter this storybook tale Where I can be the heroine you hail
You see my face and you see my expression but you don't know the real me that i'm protecting. You don't know that behind these eyes that a little girl cries every night, you don't know the half so why are you desperately trying to label me with some brand that I would never wear. If you'd look a little deeper into these pearly browns you know that I am not just a cover you have to take time to read the book to really know me. You can't just skim the back or listen to what other people say because yeah I might be talked about but unless you dip into the pudding you will never truly know why. Maybe if you looked a little deeper you'd see someone trying to keep up in a endless race. I keep on moving but it's never any good I guess I underestimate myself or maybe I just need someone to give me courage. I see the surprised look on your face and all I can do is laugh, I bet you didn't think that I had so much depth, I better you never realized. So even if it's not me your interested in, please let me teach you one lesson. You can see some much more behind the eyes of a girl than the cloud of makeup hiding her face. In a girls eyes you can see her insides, her deepest fears, her insecurities. Behind these eyes is the magical side, and if you can look into them first then I know that your confident and well worth the struggle.
Written August 21, 2013 There's a girl in the garden She's messing with your rose bed Plucking weeds out from your head And watering the seeds in your bed But where will she wander When the roses are dead Will she come back for more When they turn back to red She can run all alone Write this story in stone On concrete slabs Of skin and bone
Through the lonely woods, I may head, Upon the autumn leaves, I may tread, At the secluded horizon, I may stare, And only you, I may see, In those symphonies of silence, In those melodies of calmness, In those euphonies of quietness. By the silent lake, I may lay, Till the twilight fades, I may stay, Then in reclusive silence, I may walk, And only to you, I may talk, Through those toungueless emotions, Through those wordless attachments, Through those voiceless sentiments. In the lone meadow, I may wander, Along the untrodden paths, I may waver, In companionless seclusion, I may hide, And only in you, I may find, The depths of oneness, The bonds of togetherness, The cozy feel of coalescence. In the wilderness of emotions, I may die, At the merciless daggering, I may sigh, Through a million wounds, I may bleed, And only in you, I may seek, The balm of love, The warmth of affection, The heal of inseparability.
I know you. Candles lit, incense fuming, You like it when I bite your neck, just hard enough. Blankets thrown about the room So recklessly, they refold themselves. And we roll down a hill together, Kissing the leaves, tickling with our eyes, Laughing with our hearts. "You'll just leave me for the next girl you find." "Yes," I say. Because only Nothing Lasts forever. And it spills through the cracks in your hands The moment you grasp it. Like water from a stone. She bites my neck Drawing lines of ecstasy down my back with her fingernails Spilling into me, fighting my words. "I leave when the sun sets."
a young, pretty girl! (she's a heartbreaker, a vamp,-- still, he adores her.)
De Andy Lee (part one) Talks about the little Lady Lee and me, It all started at the first flight Our adventure had an origin--- From Off-ego was where we met So dazzling was her beauty that Caught my eyes at first sight And unresisting, my passion wooed along Believe me, my eyes contended and my heart clamored Though my lips stuttered Deep down inside me was stamina within Whispering "You can do it, yes, you can" As I opened my eyes, unknowingly, I'd reached for Lee's hands "Hi pretty damsel… as anyone ever told… you…'re charming" Perhaps this was a poor pick up line But she smiled anyway and then freed herself away Like a butterfly hovered from my hands. Not so long, Terry, a neighbor from Long-town Knocked at my door, walked himself in as I consented And handed me a postal, "thank you Terry", I said While I thought through who might mail me this Piece on my palm which I was about to cut exposed Alas a nightmare-like knocks from the dark I (already) left my door ajar "You help yourself in please" I utter'd as expected "Good day sir, I'm Dandy. There is a lady waiting for you outside She said are name is Lee De Lee" Agape! "It must have been that lady from Off-ego, Yes she'd seized my throat already. I think, my previous Chat with her there was not bad after all" Walked myself out with one of my finest attires Dandy took me to that spot she picked him for me and left Me, only me wandering and wallowing nervously in the chilly clouds "Hail Mary, hope I guess right… and where is little Lee De Lee?" I soliloquized… and as Heaven helped me, She appeared and approached "My apology for keeping you waiting Mr Handsome, May be you did wow me like you did other ladies or not But my question is this… Will you love me like You never have loved any other lady in this city?" Though puzzled me but "I must top this chat" I assured "Not only love will I give, but all for our short courtship And the thereafter long and everlasting wedlock" I could see from her face, expressions said to say 'Another clever words from your sweet mouth' But lo she opted for most sensitive part of me, Which could be very vulnerable sometimes "What did you say that your sweet name is… Handsome?" There I unveiled my name, which is Agape- "A-G-A-P-E, yes, pronounced Aa-gaa-pey from On-town" I said…. A.O 16/2/2014
her alabaster lips did drown the sea with rage that fateful dawn. how beautiful with skin so pale, her alabaster lips. did drown the roar of waves and shredded sail. Poseidon's wrath on human pawn. her alabaster lips did drown. the sea with rage that fateful dawn...
I walked alone along a sandy and lonely beach. The raging waves from the sea crashed onto the slimy sea shore. The riding waves were white and bare, but when they violently crashed, turned white and black. I walked along the lonely beach. Listening to the seagulls chatting on silver rocks and boulders. I sat near the shore. The waves coing in and out crashing violently on the silver rocks and boulders. I sat there, lonely skipping pebbles into the vase and endless sea. The waves came in and swallowed the pebbles, I threw its way. The sea crabs wabbling from side to side, came up from the shore. They kept me company on a lone and quiet evening. A lone dog walking without an owner came and curled up next to me, and barked at the chattering seagulls. They flew in panic toward the setting of the Red Sun, and disappeared into the evening paradise. The lone dog gazed upon the red sheld sea crabs, and chased their wabbling bodies away back down to the slimy sea shore. And at the setting of the evening, I was alone. Soon I had seen something that had shocked me, A young and beautiful gypsy woman. She crossed my path along the lonesome beach. All of a sudden the beach became full with love and life of all kind. The lilacs, and roses, and violets and daisies grew tall and bloomed, like madmen. The waves pulled in by the full moon, that shinned upon me and the Gypsy Woman. She was decorated with ragged skirts and blouses, with shinny, white pearls around her neck, and golden bracelets around her wrists. She smiled at me. I smiled back at her. Her hair black, with a vail of flowers around her head. She stopped me and held my hand. I was astonished and afraid. What was this stunning and beautiful woman doing to me? A victim of lost love and heartbrake. I had no money, no jewlery. I asked her what she wanted. She replied with loneliness in her voice; "To be loved." I pulled her in, and kissed her, and whispered softly in her ear, decorated with silver earrings; "Me too." We joined hands and walked the lonesome sandy beach. Listening to the waves, now softly coming in and pulling out. The shore, now not so slimy, and the silver rocks and boulders sleeping so peacefully. I turned to her and she smiled at me. I held her in my arms and kissed her upon her sweet brow.
Princess Tinsel. It was a day in springtime in the valley All the Elves and fairies gathered round Today it was the coronation morning Fairy Princess Tinsel would be crowned. As blackbirds and some thrushes in the treetops They warbled out a happy sounding song The crickets and the frogs joined in, in chorus You could tell that there was something going on. Fairy Princess Tinsel, she was lovely And on this very day she would be queen And all the woodland people were ecstatic For such a caring princess she had been. So then the valley's filled with happy laughter As fairy dust did sparkle everywhere For Princess Tinsel soon she would be ruler And oh, that lady was so very fair. And as I end this story our Queen Tinsel Has married her the prince who now be king And peace and happiness does rule the valley Which now they call "the land of everything". 21 August 2013 @ 1635hrs.
Beneath groaning wood And shrill midsummer whistling Cherry blossom girl
Show me who you are and i shall paint out broken columns on the valleys of her back as if such figure is un-common i have found no beauty bending as the vines that are her hair and the frailty of man upon her back is what she bares bleed her body for the harvest let them feast upon her soul for the nurishment of mother is leaps beyond so bold she is like the flower growing in the deepest of dark forests,amongst the ivy and hemlock but her skin is much too porous to concern herself with games that tantalize the men, as they marry on crusade it is her children that she tends sheath your swords with her ambition and tip your arrows with her will, craft your armour from her strength and in the battle you will kill come now children from the pasture and lay each upon her side, suckle gently at your mother although theirs pain she does not hide though the water leaks from rooftops her leaves are thick and block the rain, as the water level rises cling to her branches with no shame she is the stone upon the beach, once a mountain pound and breached yet still her disposition clear to love her children that are near inspired by Roots Frida Kahlo, 1907-1954
Dancing through a field of awakening childhood dreams Anticipating summer days, life bursting at the seams Nature calls a shy, young girl outdoors to explore Dandelion heads of vibrant gold, beauty she cannot ignore Eager to wish upon the wind, she picks a bunch to blow Laughing as she chases fluff, seeds search for soil to grow I remember that young girl and all she dared to wish Often I slip back in time, soft memories I embellish Never again have I felt that young, hopeful and free Waiting for my tomorrows and life's possibilities I could wrap myself awhile in ornate dandelion dreams Savoring memories made in the summer sun's golden beams Happiness danced along with me and petals in the wind Each time I see dandelions, the joy returns like an old friend Someday, perhaps I'll pick a bunch and chase childhood wishes again
The night air is cool and collective, Running through my hair and face. Even when I'm with people, I feel alone In this cold blooded space. It's like walking through a garden Of all your favorite foods, But none of which can substantiate For that one so special mood… That mood, that beautiful frame of mind. I only go there with you, And only you can make it unwind. I discovered a passion unlike any other And in my finding I opened a world, A world I did not know existed. I'm on cloud nine every time I think of you, Just the thought of you brings joy to my heart. This garden holds many beautiful things Many delightful pleasures, Many cold nights, Warm nights, Difficult frights, Ecstatic times and unsystematic times! But they mean nothing to me, While I'm alone… Walk with me through this garden.
Just one day I wanna spend with you away On a so far island or any derelict place Watching the sunrise , feeling every ray Burning my passion on looking to your face Just one night I wanna walk with you along the seaside No talk , as eye contact can express my affection It makes me feel being in a state of ebb and tide As a sailor but no death in storms here , it's resurrection Just one girl I wish from my whole universe And maybe anything else in that world is nonsense I believe in that as I believe in every verse As nothing without you my dear makes sense Just one word I wanted to say so long ago As my feeling towards you aren't out of the blue Beauty , soul , smartness and that charm you draw I don't know but so many reasons made me love you By: A. Badr
Broken Bridge 1 And 2 – Haiku Broken Bridge 1 suspension bridge breaks jungle covers snapped, collapse people disappear Broken Bridge 2 too much suspense, tons rope gives way, bridge breaks in two girl trips, bonnet falls
She squats beside the water's edge, playing, Tadpoles and crawdads fleeing From fat probing fingers. Sunlight sparkles on the river ripples, Caressing a sunburnt face And freckled pixie nose. Contentment - a child at peace with nature, Living on the brink of joy With sand between her toes. Kimo May 30, 2014
I'm hoping for my dreams to become a reality I'm hoping for a phase of gratitude I'm rejecting my hopeless fate I'm accepting your side of the story…but don't intrude Unexpectedly, I believe in love in first sight I grab the rope for extra support It burns like a vertical line of fire I'm unable to climb, but I seem too far from my desire I'm sliding down the rope, hanging from heaven They're distraught by my absence They're cheering for me from down below I'm sliding down… I cherish you like my own belongings I designed you on my bedroom wall I have you displayed deep in my heart Believe me – you'll never split it apart Every day I long for your touch – you changed my life around My heart is blazing like the zealous sun…I prize my freedom and progress The world is spinning endlessly as I kneel upon my knees And I imagine the memories we share with each other I'm sliding down the rope, hanging from heaven They're distraught by my absence They're cheering for me from down below I'm sliding down… When I reflect upon the joyous times, My heart never fails To pound vigorously for you I'm sliding down I'm looking forward to spending the rest of my life with you I see the light in your eyes I don't see an insidious nature in you… I wish I hadn't believed in the lies I never felt like a hopeless victim until I gave in to the darkness I'm sliding down the rope, hanging from heaven They're distraught by my absence They're cheering for me from down below I'm sliding down… I'm glad I've met you in the first place We're a perfect match – Don't deny it…you made me feel handsome We're on the road of victory We're making great progress We're hanging on the edge, But we were rescued From sliding down… At least we're kept ourselves alive……
My love I know not where you be nor if you love me verily. I only know you like me now for the moment, this present time till we part ways like loving clouds that drift apart in the wide sky. Shall we e'er be one like the moon, our hearts firmly together, our boon? I hope so, for you are my dreams.
How beautiful is she! Her teeth are white, sparkling in the Sun as she expresses her joy in her heart with a beautiful smile Her eyes are as enchanting as no story that has ever been written or a painting that has ever been drawn Here long, black hair is decorated by cowrie shells and river flowers, making her to look like a goddess Her skin is soft and flawless, with exception of a beauty-spot on her chin How beautiful is she!
There are a lot of things to say Why do I feel so alive when you're around? There's so much to do today But how do I get rid of the clouds – shadowy and gray We're lying on the ground... Looking at the stars overhead... You are my beloved friend – Our love won't break or bend I'll love you until the very end… I'll love you endlessly…our happiness blends Like coffee and cream– yum! I know…these rhymes are quite dumb…aren't they? Our light will shine and burn out the night Maybe there's a star in the sky that scorches with love You are my superb friend – Our love won't wear off or wither away I'll love you until the day I die I'll love you every day…our delight will be As sweet as pie – how appealing I know…these words are overused…aren't they? Our flight will be as dazzling as the elegant eagle Trained to ascend for more than half his life – or we'll be like the seagull!! We could fly there and catch it someday Fly…fly..fly…with me!

Ocean Hunger - Haiku Girl nude, applies salt Covers body in butter Hungry waves lick her
In a river marsh, where pondweeds and cattails grew in warm clime, the fair girl found a tall, black egret with whom she could have a chat; and was it the same one that her parents rescued from the wild? Among bulrushes taller than she actually was, the anxious girl told that bird one of her wishes: to hop on his back and fly as the happiest butterfly, and find her mom whom she remembered singing a lullaby. " Take me to my mom!" she begged the wading bird. " Nobody ever takes me there to visit her" she exclaimed. " She may be miles away from here...way past the blue ocean!" He replied with little confidence, lacking a sense of emotion. The fair girl kept on begging, until the black egret finally nodded. " Thank you, kind bird...now let's fly and depart from this marshland!" So the two of them ventured into a cloudy sky expecting no rainfall... not until they had gotten there safely and heard that sweet mother's call..
in the midst of a lush meadow there stands an impressive sight a slip of a girl on a giant white horse poised on the verge of flight poetic in their beauty they begin to move and they appear as one from head to back to hoove you can see the giant beast respond to invisible cues as he begins to accelerate to a place just out of view you begin to sense the urgency as the pair picks up speed and you watch the desperation as she pushes the giant steed faster, just a lil faster and it will be all right all the sorrow of reality is lost in the midst of flight just a little harder we're almost at the end and the beast gives her everything on him she can depend the vision on that meadow is enough to make a soul ache watching a free spirit and her horse make their escape gradually they slow his coat glistening in the sun she leans in and hugs him and thanks him for the run looking into his deep brown eyes she whispers her gratitude stroking his white mane they begin to walk on cue slowly they walk the meadow as desperation evaporates leaving bewitched bystanders in awe at the look upon her face the frantic pace lost by the run upon her beast sorrow left in their dust upon his back she finds her peace they stop again and she strokes him with all her aching heart and knows he's her freedom protecting her from the start he nuzzles her soft cheek as if he understands and wants her to know he's home beneath those hands swiftly as she mounts him agile and with grace they begin to walk the meadow looks of peace upon their faces as they reach the meadows edge they begin to fade from sight the girl on her magnificent white steed disappearing in the night written by: Lori Thomson contest: Rain, The Story
A bird lays an egg She keeps it warm It starts to crack And it hatches, during a heavy storm It was a beautiful Lorrikeet You could tell mother bird was proud So out of her own happiness She joyfully tweeted aloud Time to fly, little Lorrikeet Mother Bird encourages him So he jumps off the tree And swoops through the sky like a queen bee On a quiet night A van pulls up to the tree A shadowy figure scales it well And he was tranquilized, faster than you could to five Daybreak in a pet shop He was in a cage, that's all Lorrikeet knew Surrounded by a rainbow of birds Name a bird and It was in view The other birds learnt of Lorrikeet's intelligence But then they bullied him for it Lorrikeet grew depressed There was no bird to make him not want to throw himself in a pit So Lorrikeet was trapped Trapped in a cruel world of hate One day he'll be free But there is no specified date But then a little girl walked into the Pet store But like anyone her age, she was looking at the puppies Little girl asked Mum for a pup, but she said no But then the tears roll down her face, What a sad show Then something is spied in the corner of her eye The beautiful Lorrikeet looking out of the glass cage The little girl runs up to the cage and admires the beauty of the birds Which are staring at the girl like one giant herd The little girl decided for ages Deciding which bird. There were cages and cages But then Lorrikeet tweeted. Oh It was beautiful like a flute The Little girl said it was a lovely toot And so Lorrikeet was chosen Chosen to be taken home by this sweet innocent child Lorrikeet was happy to leave the cage of sorrow He'll be playing with bells and eating the finest seed this time tomorrow I wrote this poem to teach that through the hardship of bullying, victims can go on to live long fulfilling lives. Which is the only thing that keeps my head high :)

Glock 26 Carry, Business Casual
Hello all. Need a few suggestions about a carry solution for my Glock 26.
Carrying in my off hours in jeans is not an issue. Work carry is however. I need a carry solution when I am wearing business casual (slacks/golf shirt/light jacket or pull over etc) The only for sure system that i have found is ankle carry. I tried on a Galco ankle glove, but the holster and gun are just too wide for my pants. Anyone could tell I was carrying. I know this could be partly the clothing, partly the weapon, but does anyone have suggestions for slimmer, lower profile ankle holsters, or a suggestion of another carry system for biz casual? Thanks in advance!

I too tried the Galco ankle glove when I switched from a J-frame to a Glock 26 for ankle carry (not by choice: agency mandate). With the external leather holster mounted on the neoprene band, the ankle rig was too big for most pants cuffs to fit over. I am currently using a Desantis Apache rig (knock-off of the Renegade holster) which solves the problem. This ankle rig uses essentially a big elastic band instead of a holster: the band is sewed to the neoprene band and ankle pad, and the stitching conforms it to the 26's shape for a solid hold. This style dispenses with the leather holster, eliminating some bulk that way, and the elastic bank pulls the pistol in tight. A definite improvement. It also has a thumbreak to secure the gun.
BTW, this holster has an attachment point for the optional calf-strap, just like the ankle glove. Save your money, however. The ankle glove needs the calf-strap, this one does not. |

I found that the Uncle Mikes ankle rig for the Glock27 works well.I use the size 12. I CCW a G27 everyday.It hides well in the Uncle Mikes rig. Here is their fit chart. As the above poster mentioned the "Apache" is a good option too. The Uncle Mikes also comes with a calf strap which I do not use.

If a sweater, maybe a Blade-tec IWB Appendix holster. And if a jacket, a Blade-tec Gurkha.

Don Hume JIT slide OWB. Holds close to the body, and a golf or polo shirt covers it nicely. Works perfectly for my Kimber UCDP or HKUSPC. Nothing more comfortable, IMO.

Depending on the type of pants, I've been using a Don Hume pocket holster for the 27. When the pants won't support that heavy a gun, I'm forced to the Galco Cop Ankle Glove. I know you mentioned that it doesn't work with your pants. Perhaps another brand might work better?
Galco is also making a tuckable appendix holster for that model, that might hide decently well in dress clothes. http://www.usgalco.com/HolsterPG3.as...=1756&GunID=50 I have been wearing my jacket in the office lately. That serves perfectly well to hide the Glock in the little cheap $10 Glock Sport Holster. It's actually quite nice. |

I use a Comp-Tac Shirt tucker for my G26. IWB and tuckable. I'm not a big fan of ankle carry. It just seems like it would be hard to get to the gun way down there on my ankle if I needed it in a hurry. I wear it year around regardless if it's summer or winter and I'm a T-shirt kinda guy with two daughters to chase around.

I prefer to think of my actions as "liberating the blind."
I would like to see more quests with choices other than "kill the enemy". Or maybe a DK starting chain that gives you your ability points, but lets you play like Fraser's "Flashman" character ( OK ... my boss is a vicious psycho. I'll play along with this crap, pretend to do the work, and either kill his ass, or just get the F out the second I get a chance ).
Most classes and even races have their morals "kind of" placed upon them. Like NE being told not to kill the peaceful critters in Darnassus, druids curing critters and plants, warlocks having to track, summon, enslave and kill demons, rogues stealing, and so on. I'm sure there are a great number of PCs that hang around the cities shopping and making things and priests that spend most of their days healing and trying to "save" the baddies from evil. This is World of WARcraft after all- and so there is a war to be waged- the question is do you wage that war against the the true evils or every critter and misunderstood murloc and elemental out there.I've grown my druid to respect the natural as much as possible and I've given him a hell of a back story to motive my play- and believe me when he reached a task/enemy too strong to be whipped he will return with vengeance! Is he a hero? Hell yes! And I too have stopped taking many of the kill semi-innocent animal quests for this very reason. If some nut ball NPC wants me to go kill 20 bears for some burgers because he is "too busy" well he's not going to get my time- but that scourge camp over yonder? Yeah- give me minute I'll bring you some heads.
Well, one "main" is a Prot Paladin. I would say the way I play him is not violent as much as my other "main" a fire mage. The prot pally is about defense and "paying back" the mob or character attacking me, and so is more of a "I can take more than you can dish out" playstyle. The fire mage is a /violent/ spec to play, focused on dealing as much damage as quickly as possible and moving on to another target. I play that character with bad intent toward all the mobs and enemy players around me. It even feels different in the decisions I make about how to approach similar encounters. I enjoy both playstyles immensly. I've never been a healer-type, but I'd imagine that's a totally different ball of wax.
Totally. Each of my characters tend to take on a personality of their own, and I can say without a doubt that my rogue lusts for blood.
From Wictionary:AdjectiveViolent Involving extreme force or motion. A violent wind ripped the branch from the tree. Involving physical conflict. We would rather negotiate, but we will use violent means if needed. Likely to use physical force. The escaped prisoners are considered extremely violent. Intensely vivid. The artist expressed his emotional theme through violent colors. My charachter does use extreme force, and motion. My charachter is involved in physical conflict. My charachter is likely to use physical force. My charachter's tabard is intensely vivid. By every definition, my charachter is violent.
I think getting hung up on the connotations of the word "violent" are a bit silly, especially in the context of a video game. The very fact that one of the key divisions in the game structure is "Combat vs. Non-Combat" means that the game is violent by definition. Whether that combat is lethal or not may determine whether or not the actions are "moral" or "evil," but those are separate issues.Unless you're deliberately playing the game as a Pacifist, it's a violent game. But so what? If there were no violence, it would be Second Life, not World of WARCRAFT.
When I'm questing and I see a Horde and Alliance player fighting, I watch. However, if the Horde player is losing, I help out. Now maybe the Horde player deserved to die and the Alliance player was just defending himself from the jerk. Who knows./shrug
mmy char is a mas murderer, he has commited acts of genocide wiping out entire settlements, even cities, he should not be trusted by anyone, and should be put in prison, however they couldnt keep him there long, as the only way to keep him from attacking gaurds and inmates would be to kill him, but then he would just res at the spirit healer, hide for 10 mins and be free once again and would return to killing innocent people and animals (and evil stuff too)
I think it's important to remember why our characters do the things they do. My main is a Shaman, so a lot of the animal slaying can be easily justified by "for the preservation of the balance". But a better reason is given to us in the opening sequences right after creating a character. Admittedly, I haven't created and watched every race's opening sequence, but the six or seven I have give a perfectly good reason for all the killing: Survival.None of these cut scenes depict a race happy and content, "living off the fat of the land" and spending lazy afternoons lounging by the Loch. Everyone in Azeroth would be born into a world of fierce competition and ever-present danger. The hundreds or even thousands of animals my main has killed all died for a purpose. Whether my character is bringing food, clothing, or tools back to his community, It's done in the name of preserving the Darkspear tribe. It's the animal nature we're all born with and can never escape, no matter how many lofty ideals we try to uphold. The human brain, apart from an enlarged frontal lobe, remains remarkable similar to brains of much more "primitive" animals.Even the Nesingwary quests seem reasonable. Besides the fact that sports like hunting keep societies skilled enough to survive, much in the way religious and spiritual beliefs are typically rooted in sound advice for ancient man. If a type of animal is deemed "sacred", at one point in time it was essential for the people that this animal survived. It's the same with cultural norms and taboos. Promiscuity (while skewed significantly in the favor of us men) was/is taboo because it's generally not healthy for the society.Or even reasoning that, in order for your character to reach and stop the Lich King, he/she has to work hard and learn as much as possible. If a thousand bears, wolves and deer have to die to stop the Lich King from turning us all into zombies, so be it.Sorry for the wall of text =D
The way I see it, if it's red, it's going to come after me whether I want it to or not.Yellow mobs I leave alone.
I think of this like this: My char didn't signed for that. He just wanted to live peaceful life with his family and friends just like we want. But then Athras came to Quel'thalas, destroyed Sunwell and killed much of his best friends, his mother and one of two brothers. So now he's seeking revenge and to do this he must train, wheter it's on target dummies, animals or humans and elves. Is he violent? Yes! Is he evil? Probably yes as he cares about nothing besides revenge. But he wasn't violent and evil from start of his life, maybe if he was living somewhere else he wouldn't become who he is now?
I present Planning for the Future. A quest that asks you to search out and slay mothers, kidnap their children, and deliver them to a hated enemy. All for a pet penguin.
I had to reroll Gloam three times due to various mishaps. In the late 20s she reached a point where there were no more quests available and got mothballed for months until the fire festival came around and I could squeeze out a few more levels.Then achievements and statistics were introduced and in the Stalvan Mistmantle quests she got credited for the killing of a ghost which appears when you open a crate and got killed by a Stormwind guard. So, back to rerolling.Cut to a month ago and I heard about the recruit a friend program. I did a bit of research, crunched some numbers and decided it would be feasible to level her up on non-violent quests, which would grant triple experience and enable me to reach the early 60s without having to wait around for seasonal dailies to level.I'm not sure if she'll make it to the first pacifist dailies available, without the help of seasonal quests though. But that's fine with me.
