322 - Master Ninja I
Chat Comments (56) Best Riffs (180)
Max is a piece of crap for putting moves on Holly just minutes after she was almost raped. What's worse is SHE apologizes to him! But then,she immediately goes on to make a suggestive comment about coming to see him at the motel. Because that's how most women react after surviving an attack; at least, they do when a sexist writer for a tv show writes the script.
A pair of colt 1911s attached by a chain: Gunchucks
Two hypodermic needles filled with procaine strung together with rope: Numbchucks
Two horseback raiders of the Asian grasslands tethered with cable: Hunchucks
A pair of sci-fi direct-energy weapons connected with wire: Set it to Stunchucks.
The two hot girls from your high-school who wouldn't go to prom with you tied with cord: Shunchucks
A pair of Nolan and Johnson's dystopic/ageist future characters doomed from birth by the constraints of a desperate society trying to cope with an over taxed ecosystem shackled with lanyard: Logan's Runchucks.
The master-key riff of this ep is: "Hah-bekeebeleh!"
San Francisco my butt!
the nunchaku sketch is great, but i prefer good old fashioned wood-chucks. not the mammal... nunchuks made of wood. lol xD
Is it me, or are parts of this episode/movie missing? I don't know why the old ninja started busting up the bar. Seemed a bit self-gratifying for a ninja because of the weird edits. >.>
Henry is a hamster, not a gerbil. The gerbil riffs make me cringe.
I miss Lee Van Cleef....:(
so… heres lee van cleef on johnny carson promoting this as a show… wearing his ninja bling!!!!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2_UZjiKq88
They're calling the wrong actor "Sho Kosugi." Kosugi plays Okasa (chain-mail face.) He was also the fight/stunt co-coordinator for the series. Lika (snake-ring guy) is Korean/Japanese actor Soon-Tek Oh.
Tim Van Patten is NOT Dick's son. He's his younger brother, his half-brother.
Sorry Crow. No hellish spawn there.
basking in the tranquility of post war japan
Did anyone else notice that the executive story consultant was named Tom Sawyer!?
Fun fact: The guy who plays Sheriff Kyle was also Mr. Wilson in "Final Justice."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coy8XF8x5aU This owl can make the face of Master Ninja! He even has the death stare.
"Master Ninja Theme Song!" An abridged series I watched uses this song as their opening theme @_@ always wondered where they got it. Favorite skit ever!
Anything Crow says as Timothy Van Patten cracks me up.
They call it insipid, but I actually liked Manimal. I didn't see it in its original run, but the SciFi Channel (when it was still about science fiction) had a summer thing where they'd run a lot of older scifi series, mostly from the 70s and 80s. I thought it was kind of fun. Well-made? No, but still fun. :D
That Asian mobster...has the same...delivery...for every line he...says. Someone please tell that actor to stop abusing the 'dramatic pause'!
Aww! Why did they have an edit in the final credits! I kinda wanted to hear the full version of Master Ninja Theme Song!
If a person wants that perfect excuse the end it all, they need only watch 'The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly'...or, Hell, even 'Escape From New York'...then watch this. If seeing how low a truly great actor can sink doesn't make you go in the bedroom, take out your Glock, and blow your brains all over the wall, nothing will.
Is there any explanation for what's wrong with Jill? Clearly, it's not paralysis since she can walk some. She manages a few steps; so what has she been doing before now? Or is it a recent problem? I'm so full of questions!
Right on Crow! It was about time that someone finally unmasked the infamous VanPatten conspiracy.
Sure this was a bad "movie" but I think I would have watched an episode of the show when it was on. Lee Van Cleef and Timothy Van Patten actually do make an entertaining pair. I lost track of what Joel and the bots were saying a couple times and had to back it up.
"Wait, whose theme song is that?"
wasn't it a tv show just spliced together?
Seemed like the right moment...Ooooff!
"Believe it"?! My god Van Patten really is Naruto!
I wonder is Demi Moore looks back on this movie and says, "Damn, that was dumb of me..."
WHAT?! Nobody has started a thread on 'Chuck Ideas?' How about this classic self defense to use against people who want to force you to say a tongue twister....woodchucks! (I know, it's bad...help).
"Next on a very special Trapper John." Whenever they use the "very special" riff it reminds me of the 70's & 80's situation comedy ads. As a kid I knew whenever very special was used to describe an episode it involved serious (boring) material.
You say there is a very special Diff'rent Strokes on tonight? No thanks, I'll just go to my room and play with my Smaller Homes and Garden instead.
I would've paid good money to have David Carradine as Caine just stumble upon the set and beat McAllister to a pulp.
Tim Van Patten looks like Bob Saget lol
Yes, Demi Moore and went on to become a major star and Timothy Van Patten is now an award winning director, but they will always have this shame lurking in their pasts. Just as highly regarded two time Oscar nominated mainstream mega producer/actor Mark Wahlberg can never take back this….
I guess we all have our Funky Bunches to bear.
the tv car chase has NOTHING on Mitchell's hot merging action
Chinatown ninjas. You gotta love the 80's.
Cool! Leon Russell reference @ 1:25:00
wasn't there a series to this? i remember it from my childhood.
Four words;
Lee Van Cleef's ninja outfit is so ridiculous. He's supposed to be invisible in all black so he can hide in the shadows or in the dark. Yet he wears this big shiny medallion just waiting for a ray of light to hit it and give away his position. Nice going, Lee.
I loved how Joel almost laughed when he read the line "Important and dangerous work" from the letter. I can imagine the crew of the battleship Missouri rolling with laughter as their letter was read to the thrilling beat of "Master Ninja Theme Song"!
Demi Moore did this and STILL had a career?!?! Is there no god?
It's Claude Akins from those AAMCO commercials
This tv movie is like a combination of episodes of A-Team,T.J Hooker and Kung Fu
The old ninjas nose reminds me of the bad guys from prince of space.
That gang leader does alot of facial emotes for someone on the phone.
I wonder if he has ever thrown his hamster instead a ninja star.
What kind of ninjas pose for sillouettes before they attack? Very stealthy.
Hey, it's Brian Tochi - the Asian nerd from Revenge of the Nerds and Elvis Nogata from the Police Academy movies!
Evidently, Tim Van Patten is a director these days. Here's a list of some programs with episodes directed by ol' "Max": Sex and the City, Rome, Boardwalk Empire, Deadwood, The Wire, and The Sopranos. THE SOPRANOS, people.
It's baffling enough that a woman is fleeing a potential rapist by jumping into a stranger's windowless van without her taking a moment to assert command over the radio.
And when they put the line, "Don't do that; I like classical music" into the script, did it just not occur to them that they would have to score the first part of their high-tension car chase with a delightful and muted bit of symphony?
I love during the invention exchange, when Dr. Forester is smothering Frank with a pillow. I couldn't stop laughing!
LOL Crow's "basket" falls off at 34:37
This movie was released in 1991. Lee Van Cleef died 2 years earlier, December 1989. It had to be in his contract that they couldn't release it until after he died.
He's an Occidental ninja master with a price on his head. He's a wisecracking young drifter with nothing to lose. They fight crime!
That's nice, but I'm not sure if I'm interested...
We also have this hawt young ingenue named Demi Moore. She only has a bit part in one episode, but we'll put her picture on the video cover higher and bigger than Lee Van Cleef's.
Better, but it's still missing something...
There's a hamster.
Does it talk?
Help! I have "Master Ninja Theme Song" stuck in my head!
Riffs you quote here will appear randomly in the above.
"Wait a minute. I took two steps yesterday."
Ten to go, honey.
Con-Huge-Co welcomes you.
So these are Morris dancers gone horribly wrong.
Ooh, indoor/outdoor. This is the best carpet I've ever been thrown out on.
Ah, the character meeting place.
I thought he was going to rip off his mustache!
He was also in The Happy Hoofer Goes to Washington
"I talked to my friend Terri today, she's not your daughter." I kind of figured a sixty year old man with glasses isn't my daughter
I hope she's into big-ass medallions
Stayin' a guy, stayin' a guy!
Don't pad your part, Desi. Come on!
Now you're just being self-indulgent.
His office looks like a Chi-Chi's...
Uh oh, I just passed wind in my suit. As a matter of honor, I must ask you to give me a moment...
Go on already, get outta here! You got twenty-grand, take her out to dinner.
And now, commence HIKEEBA-ing!
Ninja bow and arrow. Sold separately.
I feel like snorkeling. Pick me up in an hour.
Meanwhile, Timothy's having a 'Nam flashback.
You guys talking about my butt?
It smells like urine and ceder chips in here.
You see, he learned too late, that man is a feeling creature.
Hi, I'm Max Keller. I'm a seagull.
"Come on, Max. You can do it."
If not, can I have your van?
"Don't look down!"
I didn't. I was so relaxed, I nodded off.
C'mon give me 20! One! That's one!...half a one...
The crew is so quick, I'll bet jillions get by us:
Joel: That parkay floor must sting!
Crow: Butter.
Uh...keep talking. I can't remember my lines.
"At the end of the war I found myself in Japan, with a ticket home and no where to go." Why didn't you go home...
Oh, it started falling before he kicked it...
Look, if you lost your quarter, just fill out a form!
I watch her every night. "Hey, that's your business."
"Wait, Sir, you forgot your credit card!"
Haha! Oh, the carnage! Back to you, Bob.
Jackie Chan? He's not even Charlie Chan!
Can you tell I'm sticking my tongue out at you?
"My toothbrush."
Which could rip a man's teeth out.
Look, Lee, we made some mistakes. You made some mistakes.
"Not tonight. He's hurt. Artery was severed."
Wow, and he's not even bleeding.
"You alright?!" Yeah, but I'm out twenty bucks. Let's head back to the magic store.
Yeah, and take that wheel out of your back.
"Hi, I'm Max Keller."
"Look Dad! It's your audition reel!" You were really gadding it up.
"I'll have to put a lien on the club."
Oh, what the hey. Tip it over.
It's a good thing he studied with that ninja for those ten minutes.
... and he was that guy, unbelievable he was in every scene of the movie, he was Demi Moore, he was that Gerbil...
Well whoever he is, his nose is whistling.
You know this scene's faithful to the book!
'Who is He?'..."He's The Ugly!"..."No, He's The Bad"
Someone's broken Ape Law!
You're jacking in it Trav!
'You may not touch that!' "Heyy!"
He looks about as much like a Ninja as Irene Ryan! In fact it is Irene Ryan.
Hey! How's Bruce these days?!?
He looks like one of Henson's Rats!
Whoa! You're a mess! Were you at Prince's House?!?
and I don't want anybody strapping anyone's hands across anyone's engine's!
Mrs Ironside - in COLOR!
Those who can't ninja - teach!
Hey, you don't suppose that guy was supposed to be THAT guy...?
Ya mind if we don't talk for the rest of the trip?
Not designed as a real sword. Only a toy. Darn!
Clarance the cross eyed ninja...
I wanna get... physical... physica*starts sobbing*
Wah! She's been shot!
Do you find me pleasing?
The tranquility of post-war Japan??
He looks about as much like a ninja as Irene Ryan... in fact it is Irene Ryan...
Holly: "Just don't stop."
Oh wow.
"So what have you got under this hood?"
*cuts to Henry* "Six more of those suckers going like hell."
You bastard!
Who says a coma can't be delicious?
A box of depends why thank you!
It will make you feel better...if you put it in the right place
Duh could you give me a lift to the gas station?
We turn here at David Hasslehoff blvd
Good thing he studied with that ninja for those ten minutes
Let's go. That Jack Perkins guy really scares me!
Now, this movie is CLU-less!
Hey, you don't suppose that guy was that guy...AND Queen Latifah!
Yeah, sure, that's Van Cleef. He can barely hoist himself into the van.
Let Dennis Miller do Dennis Miller, Demi.
Jack Perkins?!? No!!!
Jacks Master!
He's going for his ninja merit badge.
What kind of skull wax do you use?
I hear his theme music. He must be around here somewhere.
PJ Truffleberry's! Try the Fentoozler!
Hagar Action Slacks!
Gym socks!? Noooooooooooooooooo!
Damn, he knows Doug Henning!
Well, it is a good way to blend into San Francisco, dressed like a mime.
Oh, Lee, don't worry, she's used to it. The Kennedy's come here a lot.
Kids, what was that?
Nothin', mom!
His office looks like a Chi Chi's!
Hey! Bring me those nachos!
"Do you always carry an arsenal around with you everywhere you go?"
Do you always carry a hamster?
Oh ...Master Ninja. I hate that show.
I'm not a real ninja, but I play one on TV.
"Boy, that parquet floor must really sting!"
[mirror shatters]
"Uh-oh. Seven years' bad acting."
"Hey, it's time for the bouncer to get into his Spandex leotard!"
"We're bald and we're bonding!"
♪ ♬ "It's the TV... Car Chase... Theme! HA! Boogie!" ♬ ♪
"Filmed in Mendocino County, Illinois."
"Hey, where d'ya' get those dash-mounted gerbil cages?"
"Look, I'm getting on that plane, and... where I'm going I can't be with me... Or..."
"Tonight on Bravo, Martha Graham's new dance company!"
"Oh, Cripes! It's those turtles! They moved next door! Now I'll never get any sleep!"
Are you padding out the film? Cut it out!
"Make 'em laugh, make 'em laugh!"
It's the people under the stairs.
"If you kiss me, Van Patton, I'll kill you!"
"You're traveling in it, Jack"
"You're jackin' in it, Trav"
(This almost cased me to drown in my tea! I'm surprised nobody posted it before me)
Max: "What else you got in that suitcase?"
Joel: "It's a Woozle named Peanut!"
Me: "HOLY CRAP a Jeff Dunham referance!"
Ladies and gentlemen: Lee Van Cleef!
you can throw your star, at the man who drives the car
Hey, what happened to Demi Moore? This is getting weird.
"FUSION JAZZ is for all cultures."
"So, where's a good place to stay around here?"
-Shallow grave... train tracks are nice.
Well, here's a surprise - you're already cancelled!
He's talkin to the sound man lyin' on the floor.
"I can't! I can't!" We know! We know!
Geez, doesn't YOUR dad have an airport?
Oh! Those IUDs are dangerous!
What, did Lee Harvey Oswald shoot this footage?
You know, these Robert Bly weekends are getting more & more intense.

Help support your MeetupChip in
These are interesting times to be alive with and we have the opportunity today, right now, to change what occurs by the choices we are making and the questions we are asking.
What is your target?
My name is Susan Lazar Hart, Relationship Counselor, Personal Coach and Licensed Access Facilitator, and as I continue to teach classes, travel the globe and work with clients to create more ease and joy in their lives, I ask this question:
What else is possible?
My target is to spread consciousness to all corners of the globe! For me, this means we need to change. We need to demand of ourselves to choose for more, more awareness, more joy, more of us showing up as the unique and magical abundant beings we truly be.
Who are you refusing to be?
Something you may not ever have thought of as a contribution?
Would you be willing to give that up now?
Welcome to Access Consciousness New England in Northampton, Mass.
This group is about changing anything in your life that is not working for you with conscious awareness.
Choice creates awareness.
Is there something you are struggling with and would like assistance in changing?
How often have you thought that you had nothing much to offer anyone? Feeling overwhelmed?
What if instead of coming to the conclusion (answer) that you can't be or do something, you ask this question -
What contribution can I be here?
This question, in fact any question, will open up more space for something to show up. A question empowers, an answer disempowers.
What would it take to be in the question of my life?
What would it take for that to show up?
Access tools are easy to learn, and they empower YOU to be, do, have, create or generate anything you desire.This is the fastest, most effective stuff I have ever found!
I will be teaching classes in Northampton and surrounding area, as well as holding tele-classes and weekend conferences in New England. Topics covered will include: money, sex/relationship, healing/bodies, parenting...
Each month I will be speaking on a variety of topics where you can learn the tools and start using them! And then there is the newsletter!
What are the infinite possibilities for you?

Bio and Links
Long before the computer my mother wrote letters tracing our families. It's been over 40 years since I started working on our tree/branches. Currently tracing: Blanchard, Lanham, Carson, Carter, Coleman, Ashby, Williams, Taylor, Lindsey, Bough, Allen, Bogusz, Boyd, and Grant. Now that our daughters are married, I help with the Yocom, Batchelor and Wallace trees. I've walked cemeteries in Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky. I'm a member of the Wabash Valley Genealogy Society and its' Cemetery Committee; and the Clay County Genealoigal Society. I recently became a member of the Sons of the American Revolution, and as a newspaper and a portrait photographer, I have no problems taking photos.
When I walk a cemetery, I will photograph every headstone in a particular area. Later when I find a memorial has already been established, I delete my photo preventing any duplication. If no memorial has ever been established, I research the person using census records, Ancestry.com, obituaries, marriage records and cemetery indexes. Usually this confirms what the headstone reflexes, and helps fill in missing information. If a memorial has been established without a photo, I will add my photo thus allowing family living elsewhere to know the condition of the headstone.
I also link family members, which allows locating other relatives easier. Remember, siblings can be linked to parents not the reverse. It's a simple procedure. If I've posted something wrong, please let me know. I'll correct any mistakes in a timely manner. I can't EDIT a memorial I've transferred, and I will transfer memorials that aren't family. Check FAG guidelines.
I realize the census and obituaries are excellent source of information, however, like anything else they contain errors. Whenever human hands are envolved, mistakes occur. I've found errors in names, dates of birth/death, and locations. If you want me to add something to a memorial from an obituary, it's MY policy not to add living relatives for privacy reasons. Please respect my preference.
As a retired Air Force Master Sergeant, I will always honor a fellow servicemen.
Recently my daughter, grandson and I took a trip to Ohio County, Kentucky guided by my Find-A-Grave friend, Helen McKeown. Our goal was to find more family connections, and we did. We visited: Milton Taylor Cemetery, Morton Cemetery, Sunnyside Cemetery, West Providence Cemetery, Centertown Cemetery, Waltons Creek Cemetery, Carson Cemetery and Beulah Cemetery. I saw where my father went to school in Centertown, and lived. (Both are now gone). We found several Revolutionary War connections.

Lenox Girton headstone
Lenox is my great grandfather. I just noted you have posted a picture of Lenox's headstone in Girton Cemetery. Is this a recent pic? Just curious whether the headstone has been reset and, if so, by whom. When I visited the cemetery a few years ago it was flat on the ground, face down. I've also seen a picture of it face up. Must be very unstable ground. Thanks for your posting.

The guys in Nightmare of You are all veterans of New York's punk scene — but their sound, style and personalities aren't even in the same galaxy as punk rock.
In fact, with their endless appetite for sushi and cappuccino and their penchant for romantic lyrics, the band is anything but hardcore, even though the members have been in plenty of hardcore bands. But luckily, their punk-rock goofiness is still intact.

"I'm trying to keep my girlish figure," drummer Sammy Siegler said, lamenting the one-too-many pints of carb-heavy beer consumed during the band's recent whirlwind tour of England — a country to which the band owes much of its artistic inspiration.
"Yeah, I love Morrissey," singer Brandon Reilly admitted. "I've heard every single band under the sun that we sound like. I don't get tired of the comparisons."
New Yorkers though they may be, Nightmare of You's sound is, in fact, pure Britpop — and their self-titled debut is a throwback to the bittersweet sound of Manchester, England, during the 1980s. It's convincing enough to win over the natives: "A good portion of [the shows on the U.K. tour] were sold out, and we don't even have an album out over there," Reilly said.
The Nightmare began not long after the breakup of Reilly's old band, Long Island, New York emo heroes the Movielife.
"I wasn't the songwriter in the Movielife," Reilly said. "This is the first band I've been in where I've been writing the songs. I guess I always wanted to do it."
Nightmare of You photos
Nightmare of You were formed in January 2003 by Reilly, Siegler and Joe McCaffrey, a high school buddy of Reilly's, on guitar. They were later joined by Ryan Heil on bass.
"I was already friends with Joe, and we were recording songs on a laptop," he says. "I already knew Sammy from [him] filling in for my old band, so I called him up on speed dial."
Before joining Nightmare, Siegler was drumming with post-Quicksand outfit Rival Schools. Previously, he was a member of NYC hardcore bands CIV, Gorilla Biscuits and Youth of Today. Yet he feels that going from hardcore to Britpop is a natural progression.
"You start off young, and it's your natural instinct to start playing heavy music," he said. "Then you listen to different records, get better at your instrument and evolve as a musician."
And since 2003, Nightmare of You have indeed evolved: They've recorded an album, toured with My Chemical Romance and Dashboard Confessional and launched their own label — Bevonshire — which they named after the dicey California hotel they lived in for two months while making their album.
"It was really just a place for junkies and prostitutes," Reilly explained, and said the irony of a seedy hotel with such a distinguished name inspired them to take the name for their label. In an unusual deal, Nightmare hooked up with East West Records, which offered them the opportunity to launch Bevonshire. They might release music from other bands in the future, but for now the priority is their band's debut album.
"We wanted to get into the studio and make a record," Reilly said. "We didn't want to showcase and demo and do those stupid cliché things that a lot of bands do. [East West] were like, 'We love you guys, let's do it.' "
The album is indeed Britpop in flavor, with lyrics that shift from ecstasy ("Ode to Serotonin") to gloom ("I Want to Be Buried in Your Backyard," the album's first single and video), but it also breaks formation on the acoustic, country-tinged "Marry Me" and the dance-pop of "My Name Is Trouble."
"There was no conscious effort to have a certain kind of vibe on the record," Reilly explained. "It's just, you know, 'I'm happy sometimes, I'm depressed sometimes, and I'm angry.' "
Next on the band's agenda: decadent world tours. "I don't want to overshoot," Reilly said, "but we're only going to play on clubs on streets that have sushi and cappuccino on the same street."
For the moment, however, Nightmare will have to be happy with their current stint opening for International Noise Conspiracy's North American jaunt — but they finish on the 20th with a gig in their hometown.
"We want to be in Manhattan all the time," Reilly said. "Civilization at all times." And sushi around every corner.

[0002] The present invention relates to a product for cleaning shoes. More specifically, it relates to a product comprising a first or upper layer of material that is both water-absorbing and tacky, and a second or lower layer adjacent to the upper layer that is water-resistant.
[0003] Tacky materials used for cleaning shoes are known. For example, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,219,876 B1, which is fully incorporated herein by reference, tacky surfaces are used in floor mats near an entryway to a home, business, or commercial establishment. Although they are primarily designed for use near an entryway which leads directly to the outside weather elements existing tacky surfaces currently lack the capability for absorbing or transmitting water to any appreciable degree. In order to increase the overall effectiveness of such tacky surfaces, when exposed to the wet sole of a shoe, there is a need for shoe-cleaning materials utilizing a tacky surface that will allow for water absorption. Moreover, it would be advantageous to provide such a tacky surface material with a water-resistant surface on the other side from the tacky, water-absorbing surface, in order to shield objects from moisture in the water-absorbing portion.

[0010]FIG. 6 shows a dispensing apparatus for use with the shoe-cleaning product;
[0011]FIGS. 7A and 7B show the shoe-cleaning product in combination with a floor covering; and
[0012]FIG. 8 shows an alternative embodiment of the shoe-cleaning product in combination with a floor covering.
[0013] In consideration of the above, embodiments of the present invention relate to a shoe-cleaning product comprising a first layer that includes a water-absorbing material and having a porous top tacky exposed surface, and a second layer comprising water-resistant material, adjacent to the first layer. The tackiness of the porous top surface enhances its ability to remove dirt while its porosity enables transmitting water into the bulk of the water-absorbing material just below the surface. Moreover, the water-absorbing capability extends the usefulness the product to applications that are near an outdoor area, such as just inside an entry where wet shoes are more likely to be encountered. The second, water-resistant layer protects objects and surfaces which may be under the water-absorbing layer, as discussed in more detail below.
[0014] To facilitate its use in shoe-cleaning applications, in embodiments the product could be used in association with a dispensing apparatus capable of being stepped and walked on. As described in more detail below, such an apparatus could comprise at least a housing configured to receive the shoe-cleaning product, and one or more mechanisms for securing and/or dispensing the product.
[0015] The shoe-cleaning product could be used independently, for example in the form of a stack of sheets placed on a backing or base on a floor, or could be used in combination with more traditional floor coverings. For example, the shoe-cleaning product could form part of the top exposed surface of a floor covering that also included surfaces such as carpeting, sisal, fabric, rubber, plastic or the like.
[0016]FIG. 1A illustrates an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1A is a side orthogonal view of a shoe-cleaning product 100 comprising a first or top layer 110 of water-absorbing material. The top layer 110 may have a porous top tacky exposed surface. Such a porous, tacky surface could be formed, for example, by applying an adhesive to a water-absorbing material having a substantially coarse texture or weave, so that applying the adhesive did not clog or block small openings or pores distributed through the material. Alternatively, a non-porous tacky surface could first be applied to the water-absorbing layer and pores could be formed in the tacky surface thereafter. The water-absorbing layer 110 could be formed from, for example, woven or non-woven fabrics comprising natural or man-made fibers, paper towels, sponge or cloth. To aid in cleaning, the water-absorbing layer may be impregnated with a cleaning solution such as dry water-soluble mild detergents. The cleaning solution, and adhesives for making the top exposed surface tacky, may include anti-bacterial agents for better sanitation. If the water-absorbing layer is impregnated with a cleaning solution, the solution may include additives to help prevent the solution from evaporating. Water-binding materials for slowing evaporation are well known and include, for example, hydrolyzed cellulose, hydrolyzed polyacrylonitrite, and PVA (polyvinylalcohol). The first layer could also be treated to give it electrostatic properties when dry, to cause it to attract dirt when dry.
[0017] Adjacent to the first or water-absorbing layer 110 is a second or lower layer 120 that is water-resistant (i.e., does not transfer water). The water-resistant layer 120 could be formed as, for example, a thin film comprising plastics, including polymers such as polyester, polyethylene, or polypropylene. Additionally or alternatively, the thin film could comprise rubber or rubber-like materials such as silicone rubber, polyurethane, or latex. Such a water-resistant layer may also be sprayed or otherwise coated onto the water-absorbing layer and then cured in-situ. Any other waterblocking/water-resistant materials could also be used for the water-resistant layer. The water-resistant layer could be bonded to the water-absorbing layer, for example with an adhesive or glue, thermally bonded, or bonded by way of light curable resins. The water-absorbing layer could be laminated to the water-resistant layer when the water-resistant layer is being extruded or formed. Other materials which could be used in forming the shoe-cleaning product include materials as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,298,517, which is fully incorporated herein by reference.
[0018] The first and second layers may be formed into a composite unitary member, e.g., by bonding together as described above and cutting to a predetermined size and shape. They can also be formed in-situ. FIG. 1B shows an embodiment of the shoe-cleaning product 100 where the product has been formed into a plurality of composite unitary members or sheets and arranged as a stack 130. The sheets may be separable SO that they can be used in a serial fashion. More specifically, the stack may be placed on a floor, and a top sheet thereof may be used for cleaning shoes until it is soiled. The top sheet may then be removed and disposed of, to expose a clean sheet below for use until it, in turn, is disposed of. An advantage of the water-resistant layer 120 in this configuration is that it acts as a barrier to prevent water from a top exposed water-absorbing layer from passing through to contaminate or soil sheets below. Also, it may make sheets in a stack easier to separate. Further, if the water-absorbing layer is impregnated with a cleaning solution, it may help to slow or prevent evaporation of the cleaning solution.
[0019]FIG. 2 shows a view from above of an embodiment 200 wherein a sheet of shoe-cleaning product 100 may have openings 230 formed therein to receive an anti-slip component of a base portion that may be used in combination with the shoe-cleaning product. A sheet may have a tab 220 to facilitate manipulation of the sheet, in particular, for example, to make it easier remove from a stack. The sheet of cleaning product could be large enough to accommodate a pair of adult shoes thereon.
[0020]FIG. 3A shows a view from above of an embodiment 300 wherein the embodiment of FIG. 2 is associated with a base portion 310. The base portion 310 comprises anti-slip components 320, which may be formed as elongated treads, to help prevent a person from slipping on the shoe-cleaning product 200 when it or the person's shoes are wet. An anti-slip component may take other forms, as described later. FIG. 3B is a perspective view illustrating how a sheet of shoe-cleaning product 200 with openings 320 may be removably associated with the base portion 310. The base portion may have a border 330 that extends beyond a surface area of the shoe-cleaning product 200, and the shoe-cleaning product may be removably received within the border. The border 330 could be raised to help secure the shoe-cleaning product, but need not be. The openings 230 are adapted to engage corresponding anti-slip components 320 of the base portion, which would also help to secure the shoe-cleaning product to the base portion and prevent it from deforming, e.g., bunching at one end, when it is used. A bottom surface of the shoe-cleaning product could have adhesive thereon to help secure it to the base portion. Sheets of the shoe-cleaning product 200 could be arranged in a stack and placed in or on the base portion.
[0021]FIG. 4 shows an alternative embodiment 400 wherein a sheet of shoe-cleaning product 100 has anti-slip components 410 on its top exposed surface, as opposed to openings for engaging anti-slip components of a base portion. In such an embodiment, strips of an anti-slip material 410 such as, by way of example only, treads, thin strips of rubber, or thin adhesive strips containing grit or abrasives such as fine sand, silica or other high friction materials, could be bonded directly to the top exposed surface. When utilizing a tread as an anti-slip component, the tread can be round, oval, square, rectangular, diamond, or virtually any other shape. The sheet of shoe-cleaning product, or at least, the bottom sheet of a stack of sheets, could be provided with a bottom nonskid surface. This could eliminate the need for a separate base portion and thus provide a shoe-cleaning mechanism that was entirely disposable. On the other hand, the embodiment of FIG. 4 could be used in combination with a base portion 510, as shown in FIG. 5 illustrating embodiment 500. Base portion 510 could be formed along the same lines as base portion 410, except that it would not have anti-slip components since these would be on the surface of the shoe-cleaning product.
[0022] In still another embodiment of the present invention, the shoe-cleaning product 100 could be formed as a continuous extent or roll of material and used with a dispensing apparatus. FIG. 6 shows such an embodiment. In FIG. 6, an apparatus 600 comprises a housing 605 configured to receive the shoe-cleaning product 100 in a continuous or roll form. The housing may comprise a backing portion 645 having a bottom part configured for engaging a surface of a floor (for example, the bottom part may have a non-skid surface), and an upper part that forms a holder space 640. The housing may further comprise a movable frame part 612 that cooperates with the upper part of the backing portion via, for example, a hinge 615, to secure the shoe-cleaning material in the holder space. The movable frame part may be rotatable about the hinge 615 and adapted to engage the backing portion and an extent of the shoe-cleaning product, to secure the shoe-cleaning product within the housing.
[0023] When brought into engagement with the backing portion, the movable frame part may frame an area of the holder space that is at least large enough to accommodate a pair of adult-sized shoes. The movable frame part may have a handle 635. The apparatus may further include compressing or frictional members 647 for securing the shoe-cleaning material in place and helping to prevent slipping on the shoe-cleaning material when it is wet. The members 647 could be formed as transverse members as shown in FIG. 6, disposed across the frame part 612 so as to extend across the holder space when the frame part is brought into engagement with the backing portion, while leaving areas of the shoe-cleaning material exposed for contacting the soles of shoes. However, other configurations of members for further securing the shoe-cleaning material and providing an anti-slip function are possible. The apparatus may be sufficiently rugged and low to the ground that it may be easily and repeatedly stepped on or walked over.
[0024] The apparatus may further include a mechanism for dispensing the shoe-cleaning product. For example, the shoe-cleaning product could be in the form of a roll, and a roller 620 could be provided for retaining a roll of the shoe-cleaning product. An extent of the shoe-cleaning product exposed within the holder space of the apparatus could be used until it was soiled, and then a clean, unused extent 625 of the product could be advanced from the roll by pulling on one end of the roll. The dispensing mechanism could further include a cutting edge for separating the used extent from the unused extent. For example, a cutting edge 610 could be formed on the movable frame part 612 to cut through the shoe-cleaning product to separate the used extent from the unused extent. Alternatively, a straight, rigid edge of some kind could be provided at an end of the holder space, and the used extent could be separated from the unused extent by simply pulling up the product against the straight edge.
[0025] A dispensing apparatus as described above may be advantageous in that it reduces manufacturing costs: i.e., the shoe-cleaning product need not be formed into separate sheets, or stacked, or have tabs applied. When used with such a dispensing apparatus, the second, water-resistant layer of the product prevents moisture from being transferred from the first layer onto the apparatus, keeping it dry and thus avoiding wetting a newly-advanced extent. The water-resistant layer could also help to keep the material in a roll from sticking together due to the tackiness of the first layer. Additionally, in applications where the water-absorbing layer was impregnated with a dry water-soluble cleaner, the water-resistant layer could help to slow or prevent evaporation of the cleaning solution.
[0026]FIG. 7A illustrates yet another embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 7A, an apparatus 700 comprises a shoe-cleaning product 720 associated with a floor covering 710. The shoe-cleaning product 720 could have any of the various forms discussed above: i.e., for example, it could have openings to engage anti-slip components, or could have anti-slip components on its top exposed surface. The shoe-cleaning product 720 could be formed as a plurality of separable members in a stack, each with tabs.
[0027] The floor covering 710 could form an outer perimeter 730 of the shoe-cleaning product. This outer perimeter may include floor covering materials such as, for example, carpet, sisal, fabric or rubber. The outer perimeter may serve to provide additional water absorbing or dissipating capacity, and may produce a more aesthetically pleasing result. At least a portion of the outer perimeter may be large enough to accommodate a pair of adult shoes thereon.
[0028] The shoe-cleaning product 720 may be removably received within an area 715 of the floor covering 710. For example, area 715 may be a recess as shown in cross-sectional view 7B. The anti-slip component 725 as shown in FIG. 7B could be, as noted above, formed on a top exposed surface of the shoe-cleaning product. Alternatively, the anti-slip component 725 could be formed in the area 715 of the floor covering, and engage an opening in the shoe-cleaning product. As shown in FIG. 7A, the area 715 may be in approximately the center of the floor covering 710.
[0029]FIG. 8 shows an alternative embodiment. In FIG. 8, apparatus 800 comprises a shoe-cleaning product 720 associated with a floor covering 710, where anti-slip components 810 are nodular rather than elongated treads. In example of FIG. 8, the anti-slip components appear as small diamond shapes, but any shape, size or pattern for anti-slip components is considered to be within the scope of the present invention.
[0030] Further, the shoe-cleaning product may be removably received within an area 815 of the floor covering, where the area 815 is off-center with respect to the floor covering. This arrangement may leave a region of floor covering material 730 that is at least large enough to accommodate a pair of adult shoes.
[0031] Several embodiments of the present invention are specifically illustrated and/or described herein. However, it will be appreciated that modifications and variations of the present invention are covered by the above teachings and within the purview of the appended claims without departing from the spirit and intended scope of the invention.

With this new ability to have the Internet and social media dictate the creation of what we all want and need and the elimination of what we won't tolerate and stand for, the time and opportunity to identify and select the best person for the office of president is upon us.
We are grateful to our allies in Congress and the Obama administration for opposing the House Republican leadership's anti-environment agenda and will count on them more than ever to stop the inevitable polluter attacks of the 114th Congress.
Fifty days into the new Congress, McConnell has established himself as a champion of polluting industries. McConnell devoted much of this session to supporting the Keystone XL pipeline for dirty tar sands oil and trying to block the EPA from reducing climate change emissions.
Education has always been central to the American Dream: the promise that if you work hard, you can achieve anything. Unfortunately, the skyrocketing cost of student loan debt means that when millions of Americans should be building their careers, starting their families, and pursuing their dreams, they are instead being held back.
It is amusing for Democrats to watch the "Ted Cruz wing" of the GOP try to defend their big DHS bill, just as it will be amusing to watch them howl later this week when it gets split in two. All a Democrat will have to do to really rub it in will be to say, "But you've been saying all along that immigration reform can only be done one tiny step at a time!"
The GOP wasted no time in creating yet another self-induced government shutdown showdown. Not even two full months into their control of Congress, and they are pushing a critical federal department towards shutting down, all in an effort to make a political point.
Though the increasing number of Congresswomen can be viewed as removing another shard in the glass ceiling, relatively few women have joined the leadership ranks of the 114th Congress.
A federal judge in Texas issued a preliminary injunction blocking implementation of President Obama's new immigration policy, which has thrown a curve ball into the Republican congressional strategy of having a big political battle over immigration next week.
Clinton in 2016 could have the same effect as Reagan in 1980 and 1984: recruiting Democratic candidates, inspiring Democratic supporters and winning an electoral landslide. Reagan would be embarrassed by Republicans today.
President Obama is absolutely correct that our nation must confront these ruthless terrorists. But he was also correct to promise that America would not be sending U.S. combat troops back to the Middle East to fight another ground war.
The emerging dynamic between John Boehner and Mitch McConnell is one to watch, because it is heading for a showdown in the next few weeks. Sooner or later, one of them is going to have to cave in to the hard, cold reality that Republicans just do not have the votes to impose their will on a Democratic president.
For the first time since the first George Bush was president, California Democrats are having a competition for a seat in the U.S. Senate. And the early leader is the only candidate on the 2010 statewide Democratic ticket who nearly didn't win.
Barack Obama is the second Honorable Mention recipient this week, for his impressive public opinion polling on job approval in January. He had his best month (measured by month-to-month improvement) of his entire second term, and the fourth-best month he's ever had as president.
Since Speaker of the House Boehner's January 22 announcement of his invitation to Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu to address a joint session of Congress, an ugly unprecedented partisan divide has ensued up and down Pennsylvania Avenue.
As their very first move as a new majority in the Senate, Republican leaders took up S.1, a bill to circumvent the normal review process and force approval of the dirty and dangerous Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, making their top priority clear: doing the work of their polluter allies.
Republicans in Congress have, once again, successfully painted themselves into a corner. Even though they've done exactly this previously (in exactly the same way), they now have absolutely no idea how to get out of this dilemma (which they created for themselves).

~Sun Dancing~
Bright yellow sparks glisten around the landscape
Sheer environment expose
Warmth slinks down every step
So-- Invigorating
Spur like rays muster in long light
The wolves wait to howl
Soon--Bunch of flowers
Huddle in with sunlit love
Luminous rave
By; pd
(For contest)
A blazing Sun abruptly appears
Indulged in selfish applause
Heartless to the core, her light declares
She governs the Universe
The Sun gets only a glimpse of the Moon
Jealous of the Stars who pave the night's way
She races to conspire with the Horizon
To keep the Moon at bay
Melancholy is the Moon as night draws near
Chilled with howling cold and fear
Unspoken words hang stiff in the air
Each has felt them like a prayer
The Moon sits in shadows of his own silhouette
To endure thousands of years in silence
Staring through space with hollow eyes
There are no words, the Moon only cries
Karen Anglesey written 03.03.13 Recently published in Best Poets and Poems 2012 by World Poetry Movement, Utah
Sunshine beams sparkles softly golden magic
Breathtaking horizon of dreams spells casting
Feelings, faces and memories within
Shall follow the nature´s endless spin
Creeping higher morning glory rising perfect splendor
Smiling warm rays inside hot radiance glows
Dizzy with pleasure, tears a falling star rain wet drop of heaven
Total silence no vibration pearls on leaves dried
Songbirds sing praise in a heavenly choir whistling tunes
Enchanting dewdrops sparkling shivers, silver glistens
Diamond shining clearly colors beauty awakening
Rainbow riches polishing a heart to the highest luster
Into a landscape of dreams and hope
The green grass will grow for another tomorrow
A co write written by Liam Mcdaid
and Anne-Lise Andresen :) - 12.01.2015 -
- Thank you anne lise
the sun sets in my mind
never to arise
for darkness soothes the glaring light
that carries all the lies
and in the place where I sleep
I come alive in my dreams
never wishing to awake
stitched in threads of reality seams
so let the sun rise
steadfast and so sublime
just let me sleep so I can dream
of sunsets in my mind
At dawn a secret shadow tries
to catch a glint of seas surprise
when daybreak sheds her dim disguise
and silent, signals sun to rise
but tawny hair and azure eyes
grow warm and light as morning ties
her silken silver water prize
with strands of sand to gentle skies
O'er tempest,soars the
eagle with wings
stretching towards the
smiling sun.
Up the sky,a figure
with outstretched wings
battling the turbulent
wind and frowning sun.
Soaring like an eagle-
Never an eagle.
Gliding like an eagle-
Never an eagle.
Mistaken for an eagle
in the sky-never an eagle.
Utter's sound as the
eagle-never an eagle.
This man-made
under a stormy wind.
For paid price-loss of
The works of mother-
nature can never be out-
dated or equalled.
Frog-men under sea
and frogs in the waters
can bear witness.
Daily I'm sun kissed
Burned by the warmth of your lips,
for YOU are the sun
Eileen Manassian Ghali
so far the days of singing rays
have come to meet their sullen end
twixt nights of joy with hidden ploy
a sweetly tone, they do offend
O gasp! the serpent true must strike
O gasp! the lustful raging psych
whose cares are lost forever long
roaring out, O hear my song!
now mute...peace...whist...still
ideas soon drain, decisions fill
a mind at pace with thoughts that spill
float soundlessly thy solstice chill
the misty seep, foreboding reap
emotions run amok like thieves
for darkly cast, a favored past
along is lain misguided leaves
-Sam Robinson
Iambic Tetrameter
At first the sun's fingers
Poke up just a bit,
Seeming to find the ocean's ledge,
They grab a hold of it.
With radiant arms extended,
It raises itself higher,
Then sits upon the ocean's rim -
A fuzzy ball of fire.
When wind's silence
heralds boundless oblivion
and the trembles of cracked earth
raise the dust of tears
dried by the boundless footfalls
of sallow flesh
When a thread of gold
brings unearthly thought
and the misconception
of suns fallen
drives foolish men to their knees
in unending tremors
An army of one
frees the air from his fingertips
and stays not his opal blade
as it bites the rotted gray necks
of kings released from their wrongful bliss
by his trembling palms
An army of one
unconstrained by nature's volume
freed by the sin of his naivety
yet, bound by earth's oldest secret
as the scarlet sun weeps
its bloodied tears
An army of one
his cloak worn through
by the acid blood of his deception
and his bones stilled;
the branches of a dying oak
which no longer caress the wind
Explore the Messiah
In yourself
He should be
the love
In your heart
That bright sun
evil should be
That black dot
in your heart
Panel of the dark
That blue moon
In serenity,
eyed at the Sun, no flashing.
Sunflower in June.
two birds both flying sky high
one of them almost hidden
while crossing the setting sun
leaving behind now
(c) Elly wouterse
enchanting swaying dancers
myriad luminous wings
at the distance hazy plumes
unless you are close
The sky danced a glimmer of setted sun blue
Softly through into the night
Like rafters keeping us safe on our path under heaven
Trees wove themselves over us
Breathing light from coals washed the five gathered faces
Flickered in their eyes and over their bodies
In the quiet I saw
In the south like the waves from beneath the sea
One spirit shone with a shimmering breath
And another in the west settled on the rafters there
With a sighing light barely seen and hardly felt
Amid the rafters of the north one other spirit swayed
There too an ethereal visitor echoed in the east
In the quiet I saw
Faces bright, strong and painted with a wash of . . .
Contentment, save two, both fallen of crest
And still under the watchful eyes of Nokomis high in the skies
One rose to smile holding a light before him closely
But woe fell across the other for being there within already
As if unable to escape for eyes unseeing
In the quiet I saw
I watched a struggle between three spirit cousins
Over and all around they fought where he had fallen
So vicious this fight, it cast a shrouding over everything of him
For these two beasts snarled and slashed for dominance
While the third sat quietly as if waiting or perhaps just watching
With great patience for one to fall and it too was evil
In the quiet I saw
The sky shone softly in the ambient light of stars unglimpsed
For Nokomis with her watching eyes held us
As only grandmothers do for having loved and loved her child's children too
All through the night she held us as we sailed without a sound
Across and over the blue of setted sun somewhere next to here
With the warmth of coals burning nowhere save inside
In the quiet I saw
In the quiet I saw five souls glimmering
In the quiet I saw a war cross one red road
In the quiet I saw the spirits of four ancestors
In the quiet I saw everything, nothing all that I needed
In the darkness of the madodoswun it is dark as pitch
And still, and yet . . .
Before the door whispered to open
I saw in the quiet still
the kind of upside down clown and where all colors run together,
the kind of sing-a-long song and love skips a beat,
the kind that can never be known or ever regret,
the kind of toss and turn and counting waves,
the kind of too many miles, frowns, and goofy smiles,
the kind of now and then they trade sides and he'll rise as she sets,
the kind of intuitions meddlesome consciousness raining reminders of home,
the kind that is void of all sense, sight unseen, and still cause great pain,
the kind you can't leave behind,
the kind you can never forget -
Everything glitters
after dark.
Little by little,
I fell out of love with the sun,
slipping between the black and the white.
I started to appreciate the sound
of music with hot loving.
So good, so giving.
Blood so hot, you barely notice that it's boiling,
until everything's on fire,
everything's moving.
(It hurts so good, it doesn't)
And now,
I can't sleep for the need, it litters
my mind like an infectious disease.
(Though I'd been searching for it)
Little by little,
I caught it,
hands open,
palms burning.
Anything seems bigger
spread by shadows.
Now I think faster,
laugh louder,
love harder,
go quicker.
And when the morning sun litters
the sky,
it's an unwanted savior
to people like us.
(Because we know what's best,
we've seen what's better)
So we rest a little,
hiding strangeness with normalcy,
lust with routine.
But when the sun sets,
I watch with curiosity,
shadows wake and spread
(as if it's the first time)
legs open, arms wide,
inviting me in
to stop pretending
I'm something that I'm not.
Little by little,
I don't need much of anything,
knowing that love
will find me
in unusual ways.
Maybe it already has
but I lost count of ways...
too in love with shadows...
too in love with the night...
Too late.
Let them be the sun.
Optimistic rays of sunshine
Shining upon giddy children
As they play in the park
I'd rather be the rain.
Pessimistic drops of water
Making children from of dissapointment
As they watch raindrops race down their windowpane
To be able to give a droughting town hope
To cool the burning bodies of children
To stop the thirst of a city
To save the lifes of millions
Making the moon and sea meet
As I would join the ocean and rise with it
Feeling the current touch the stars
And making a tidal wave hold hands with the planets.
So I would let them be the sun.
So on a hot sunny day
Parents can pull in their sun-burnt children and warn them about their harmful rays.
And I, the rain.
Would wash away the sweat, blood and tears.
And I would look down at the children dancing.
And I would watch the couple kiss under me.
So, I would rather be the rain.
Because After the rain.
We all get to see a rainbow.
I stayed there, for too long
in the cruel arms of a sunset
that had forgotten I was there.
Its wink slowly cast an itchy
blanket over the hope I had found
in blue skies; My skin reached upward,
blistered by the groan of mortality's tick.
There is little time to waste.
The turn, once again left me in the dark,
grappling with solitude among the masses.
And so I waited for starlight's touch to
calm the sandstorm in my bones.
Waited for the battle between light
and dark, so I could paint my eyes
with the blood of a new vision
for tomorrow and be ready to perceive
everything that I had once, let slip away.

Hopeful but its so mundane
Filling the hollowness with more empty pleasure
But it takes my hand and and walks me through this withering decay
Into the ecliptic silence,
Self medicated diluted dreams
A mixture of over stimulation and desensitizing me
Somewhere between ominous and beautiful
Letting the darkness consume my conscious brain
Until the sun can realign and pulls me back into this day
To overcome this strange numbness
Of self inflicted shadowing
Butterflies once warmed me up inside until I pulled off all their wings
Holding memories I cant forget while praying to a God who has forgot
But we are only allowed to keep the things that we have already lost
Sometimes living is not enough without sovereignty
As these flightless insects crawl back inside
Then perhaps through their death life would be more satisfied
Finger deep I draw a line then stand to face a blackened sky
I reevaluate Your presence now without You Lord then where am I
Because this is me You were my light, subsequently my faith has died
Somewhere below the surface of this shifting unstable world of mine
Now an idea will start
A different fire in our heart
And in this fire shall be
A new duet to sing for you and me
New control to form
Mind over all
Because it is in the mind that we live after all.
The fire is in life because immortal means complete
And like every heart needs to feel complete.
It is in our minds that we see
A blurry picture on what we think we feel
And what we think that he thinks it feels
And only then we forget to see the real
That is up to us to judge the good and bad
Only us and no one else to see
And only in the light of a reflection we see the truth of us
Then we can judge or ridicule the real thing
For is up to us to see
How that survival in life is best to keep
How freedom is disappearing
And how fear is getting in
Because fear is in the mind
The fear for the heart to stop to feel
Because feel is the fear itself
Because what we feel we need
And what makes need more
Makes the fear for losing it all
You can't have one without the other
Or the other without one
Is the hole and the everything
And the everything and the hole
To become complete
First one must become with one
And two of one shall be
And one they become from which you can see
The perfect art in creation
That the universe is and will be
The perfect manifestation of collaboration
That creates everything that is
And only the act of collaboration is
Because it takes two to collaborate
It takes two to start a sparkle and a fire
It takes two to start a star
It takes two to feel everything that you really are.
spent moments
slipped away unnoticed
and spotlighted suffering
life cubes stacked
each success and mistake
trapped, time lost
hopes, regrets and days
until all I have are nights
In My Net
I cast my somber trap
a tattered old net
once more this morning
toward the top of the acasia tree
just as the sun begins
to wake at the eastern
slope of my day.
I hope to catch that birdsong
that nightly haunts the floating dust
in my room – circling and circling
but not in a merry dance
commencing at twilight
promising to end only when my heart
stops its beating.
The purple notes touch
each blanket thread
on my melancholy bed
kiss each carpet flint covering
this chafed bedroom floor
they seep within every pinhole in my skin
and puncture every vein.
Twilight soon slides to midnight
and these notes perforate my eyelids
driving away portraits
of giggling green leaves
forcing out echoes of a phantom laugh
the only one I nurse
the only one I utter.
The net I toss up every day
and I only drag it down
as soon as the sun sinks
at the deep valley
but no birdsong here
I can stare or listen, stare or listen
for all eternity --
but not a hint of a note.
Just the heap of fallen leaves
a metaphor of old dreams
mounding in the middle
for their inevitable decay.
A blending with the elements.
A blending with clay.
Will I grieve you, only if you grieve me
Said you couldn't rest
So I lay in this casket with you
A bouquet in a basket, why risk the truth
Delusional I may be
A happy ending, a sympathetic conclusion
Is something we'd pay to see
Cross your arms and lay with me
The aspects it's okay to be
You or me, whom shall we grieve
There are certain things I need from you
Like we feed
There are pertinent things I need you to do
As we grow to be adults
We simply do what needs to be done
Across from the morgue
Smiling faces soaked in with the sun
Outside these walls of Berlin
Suited individuals call for her sins
Will you grieve me, only if I grieve you
Through the many hours of this day
Tragic circumstances flower our May
In a declining sun set it reflects from my window pane
A metaphor of my life lived in feign
As if I demand that you be my friend
Take this childs hand to the end
Down those spiral steps
Admire the depths of a single breath
Your or me, whom shall we grieve?
A mother dropped her bags to comfort her daughter
On and on through the years she brought her
These missing links of murder
Kissing a stench never before heard of
Full of bars, cool as scars
Precious jewels of mars
Like I lost my tongue
I'll start a thousand wars
For I will not be forgotten!!!

Is an HDCP compliant device required to view an image with the Mini DisplayPort single link DVI adaptor?
- Asked by Richard J. C from Burbank
Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
HDCP is a 'content protection' standard - it's not required to view any image, it's required to view certain, DRM encrypted content - such as some videos purchased on the iTunes Store; to watch/play HD content from a PS3 to a HDTV, etc. This product will function fine with a 1920x1200 (or lower-resolution) DVI display, even those pre-HDCP.
