The innocence lost so long ago
The undying faith we used to know
The gentle rain of a summer's skies
You can find it all in your child's eyes.
The world was right one time it seems
And we could reach beyond our dreams
To meet a challenge of any size
That fire still burns in your child's eyes.
In a world of anger and miscontent
And the frustrations of a life misspent
And you wait in fear as the storms arise
You can still find peace in your child's eyes.
Take the time for all those things
Hear his words: feel the joy he brings
There is no hate; there are no lies
There is only love in your child's eyes.

Big poo
small poo
yellow poo
blue poo.
There are so many different kinds of poo,
it's amazing to see what passes through.
Square poo
round poo
skinny poo
fat poo.
Making poo-poo
is something everyone has to do.
Yes. It's true!
I do too!
Look at this poo all covered in nuts.
It stinks far worse than rotten fish guts.
Oh me! Oh my!
Oh me! Oh my!
It stinks so bad,
it caused that fly to die.
So some poo is quite smelly.
Some poo looks like jelly.
Some poo is very icky,
especially when it comes out sticky.
Some poo smells high.
Some poo smells low.
Some poo slides out fast,
and some poo comes out slow.
Big poo
small poo
yellow poo
blue poo.
What kind of poo is your favourite to do?
Hard poo?
Soft poo?
Loud poo?
Quiet poo?
Maybe an in-between sort of doo-doo?
The smelliest poo is made by the razor-backed Zonkzifferack.
Boy, when the razor-backed Zonkzifferack decides to drop a mighty stack....
....stand back! Yes. Please stand back!
There is nothing worse than the poo attack of a razor-backed Zonkzifferack.
Then there are the infamous Knack-a-croodle Crows.
Their poo smells like that of a Summer rose.
Not at all unpleasant to the nose.
Nothing wrong with those Knack-a-croodle Crows.
Look! Over here.
That poo is making a quick dash.
Oh! What a huge splash!
Now look at the poo over there.
It's all covered in hair.
There's also poo that floats like a boat,
or sinks very quickly in the drink.
Poo shaped liked cats,
poo shaped liked rats,
poo marching along wearing fat hats!
Remember children,
the next time there arrives a choo-choo,
making poo is something everyone has to do.
Nothing to be ashamed of through and through.
Whether it's new
whether it's blue
or possibly a bit old
even covered in mold....
....everyone has to make poo.
It's true!
Even Ms. Brown, the teacher,
and Mr. Collins, the Preacher.
Your Mommy makes poo.
Your Granny makes poo.
I do too!
Yes I do.

You say you're Cinderella,
Or would you like to be.
Does this mean that you've found,
Your Prince charming in me?
You also say you're Jasmine,
So, Princess, please be mine.
A whole new world I'll show you,
A world of love divine.
Your favorite is Tinkerbell,
So I'll be Peter Pan.
Together we can fly away,
Off to Netherland.
And if you're Sleeping Beauty,
Then i will be the one.
To kiss your lips, open your eyes,
And fill your life with sun.
And if I was the Beast,
And your name was bell.
I know that I could count on you,
To free me from my spell.
And if I was Prince Eric,
Would you come with me?
As my Ariel I'd show you,
A lover deeper than the sea.
Just like a disney tale,
Filled all with love and laughter.
You and I will be together,
Happily ever after.
Dance with me
I have borrowed mum`s summer hat
Dressed up with lipstick and pearl necklace
The good smell....do not say it but it`s mum`s perfume
The high heel red shoes are mum`s and they fits
me almost I`m nearly four years old and a big girl
I have dressed up so nice just for you
Dance with me dad, I`m your little princess tonight

Even if I'm dizzy with an aching head,
I must not disturb the others in the beds
In this hospital ward where not much is said
For fear of making a fuss.
It's not much fun with nothing to do
Can't even get up to go to the Loo
The doctors come, and ask, 'How are you?'
It's hard to tell them which is worse
Visiting hours and here's Dad and Mum
Who immediately asks me why I'm so glum.
I tell them, 'The others had ice-cream, but I got none,
And, if it was you Dad; you'd curse!'
Patting my hand, Mum says, 'It's all right,'
And Dad says, 'You might get some tonight,
Cos you're looking better, you're not so white,
I'll go over and ask that nurse.'
Back he comes grinning down the ward,
And sits back in the chair without a word,
To Mum he whispers so he can't be heard
Then his eyes meet mine, his lips are pursed.
The doors swing open; a nurse comes through,
Carrying a tray and says, 'This is for you,
You can have some now you are healing like new,
To Mum, Dad says, 'We'll cancel the hearse!'
I've broken no bones, the x-rays prove,
But there'll be a scar and a slight groove
Left from the fencepost that failed to move
When I fell on it, off my horse
With an arm in a sling and one foot on the ground,
The other in plaster and my head bandaged round,
I'm going home soon, and my horse has been found
Across the river, but he's none the worst.
It's easy to laugh with no aching head
And it doesn't disturb the others in beds
'There is no need to fear,' as everyone says,
'Just ring the bell for the nurse!'
Time now Mama, get the tree,
Hand the box of ornaments to me,
I'll put them on the tree most carefully,
It'll be super pretty, just you see!
Colorful balls, red, gold and green,
Lights are the brightest I've ever seen!
Santa will be happy, he won't be mean,
We'll put out cookies with frosting in between.
Time now Mama, hang stocking with care,
If he brings me candy, you know I'll share.
Garland and tinsel, we must prepare,
Christmas is coming, Mama we almost there!
Elf on the shelf, I'll find him tonight,
Out the window, the world is turning white.
There is Rudolphs nose shining red and bright.
I'll go to bed Mama and stay out of sight.
Colors and sounds greet the day.
In my pajamas I get to stay.
Presents and toys, I just want to play.
Together with you Mama, and I like it that way
for contest
Pitter patter, what's the matter?
I hear little feet sprint and splatter.
There was no time for tiny tip toe,
There is something, something I must know!
Huff and puff, shakes the skin once tough,
Ten tiny fingers grab me by the cuff.
"Come now Mama, you must see,
A monster, a monster, grabbed at me!"
Shush and hush, quiet we must rush,
Mama'll turn that monster into mush.
In search in stealth for something fowl
Sneaky, sneaky like a fox on the prowl.
Corner peeking, little eyes seeking,
Only motions, quietly, no speaking.
Tiny feet turn heavier than stone,
Tossing bed pillows, bed covers thrown.
Search and find, what was left behind,
Left over cookies crumbs were not kind.
With innocent eyelashes and a guilty smile,
The monster, the monster, won't be back for awhile.
Under the Christmas tree sits a nativity scene in the old town square. I sit on a rustic wood bench and reminisce on the stories I've been told about Jesus being born on Christmas Day. When all of a sudden I hear movement in the bushes; I turn my head and look over my shoulder. With a sudden fright, a tall pure white stallion with feathered wings, steps forward and says, "My name is Peg, climb on my back and I'll take you to where it all began." I arose to my feet and got on Peg's back, held on tightly to his mane. He galloped off at full speed facing into the wind and took off soaring into the night full of stars, being guided by a large, bright, glowing star.
Peg turned his head and said, "That is the Christmas Star ahead."
As I looked down below, I saw coming from the east, three men. Could they be the three Wise Men!
As we reach the star we slow down to a town. Peg said, "This is Bethlehem down below."
Peg starts descending close to a stable and lands. I anxiously dismount and we both walk towards the stable. My spirit was overpowered with awe, there in the small dim lite stable, we found a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger, with his mother Mary kneeling beside Him.
The shepherds that were watching their flocks near the stable also came all elated, one of them said, "An angel appeared and told us a Savior, the Messiah, had been born and that we would find Jesus laying in a manger. So we immediately came to see if truly Jesus our Savior was borned. "
Heaven was rejoicing at the birth of a Savior for all people.
The three Wise Men arrived and said, "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him." They gazed at the young Child and immediately fell down and worshiped Him, they presented their gifts to him of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
We stayed for a while in admiration of our Lord Jesus.
After a time Peg said, " I need to get you back before you are missed."
Together we flew into the endless night back home to the Christmas tree where I had been before.

Inside the Dishwasher everyone rushed!
Clinks, clanks, rattles, 'Ouches' and ' Ohs'!
"Would you pa--lease, settle down!" said Deb--They hushed.
"Now we can hear...let's just see how this goes."
Curious, Peter, looked out through a chinc,
And watched Vie and Chris-- approaching by twos.
They opened the door--and who do you think--
Standing there wearing her fine Jimmy Choos,
Ms Lost Sonnet!--spoke not a word--but winked.
Wilma Wine-Corkscrew, dressed in purple hues
Gave the 'all clear', and Peter spread the news.
"We're having a party Ms Sonnet, please,
Won't you join us? It's a magic party
For Peter", said Ruben Rotisserie.
Bob Blender poured her a drink--quite hardy.
Connie Candellabra was flaming bright
As Ms Sonnet swept past to the soft couch.
Carolyn Cookie Jar screamed with such fright,
"Quick! She's on fire!" Then Lost cried, "Ouch!"
"I'll save her", said Catie Collander. "Here!"
But the water leaked through her like a sieve.
Susan Spatula yelled, "Have no fear, dear!"
Yet, the fire held on and would not give--
Others tried, but could not stop the fire.
Then Peter said, "I wuw twy! I can do it!
With 'Awwy, I can fwy! Way up highya!
Togethwa, we can save Ms Wost Sonnet!
Awwy is my fwend. He tawks funny, too!
He's aw the way fwom Engwand and he is
My Supwa Cape! So I can fwy! It's twue!
No H's wive theaw--his name is wike this:
'Awwy--not Hawwy." So now, they all knew.
"Did I 'ear some bloke colling my name?"
"Yes! 'Awwy, me! We've Ms Sonnet to save!"
Harry Handtowel--AKA, Super Cape--fame
Was now on the neck of Peter the Brave!
With no hesitation quickly they flew,
Smothered the fire and saved just one shoe.
Brittle and weak, Lost needed more than glue...
"She needs magic! Oh! Paweeze! What can we do?"
"Peter...we only made enough for you".
Said Carol Crock-pot. They all cried, "Boo Hoo..."
"Then give huw my magic! That's what you do!"
So quickly they sprinkled the magic brew.
Ms Sonnet was greatful--then said, "Adieu".
"Peter, you've done well," said Anne Assam Tea,
"Let's all have a cup'a tea and you'll see...
"'Magic's believing in yourself, --frankly,
Do that--and you can do--anything!"

Sleep my lovely baby/PD/lady
Although I am so far away
Listen to the sweet song I sing
Feel in your heart I'm not leaving
Soft wind cuddles you in my arms of love
My warm embrace never makes you sad
Before you close your diamond eyes
Make a wish I am with you tonight
All dreams that you dream here or afar
Will be answered by those bright stars
As the moon smiles sweetly in your sight
Giving an assurance that you'll be alright
Sleep my lovely baby/ PD/lady
Sweet lullaby I sing as I fervently pray
May God keep you safe while I'm away
In this world you're so special in His way
Oct. 25,2012
This can be sung in a tune of a lullaby song which my teacher had taught me when I was still in Grade 4, I remember more vividly but not exactly the tune and the title and lyrics not anymore.

Buttons for game pieces, buttons on totes,
Buttons on toys, shoes, sweaters and coats.
Buttons that open and buttons that close
On pockets and purses and edges of clothes.
Buttons that decorate; buttons that don't.
Buttons I'm sure to lose; buttons I won't.
Buttons as filler for bean bags and such.
Buttons collected are not used so much!
Buttons on greeting cards and on jewelry!
Thousands of buttons adorning a tree!
Buttons to reset , to turn on a light.
There's "Cute as a button" and also as "bright"!
Button up (but not down); push them "hot" (but not cold);
"Button your lip" and do as your told!
Though buttons may vanish one day from earth,
We'll wear on our bellies - buttons since birth!
It will hurt like a tattoo guns sting
as the ink infiltrates your skin.
Your first love will be like a tattoo on your heart,
buried deep,
always remembering the blessings and pain he gave you.
Be with a person who fills you with fluttering hummingbirds
even after the first and second and tenth kiss
who drinks the nectar of your demons and sucks them lifeless.
There will be men who you think will carry you forever
but after so long of holding
your feet above the water
they will throw you down.
They will not reach out a hand to pick you back up.
They will turn cheek,
kissless and forgotton.
You will stand with dirt palms
and fall back into his inferno.
There will be loves like this,
who convince you to prick yourself with safety pins,
the ones who carry guns on their backs
but never shoot to protect,
only to hurt.
The ones who drink all the water,
leave you parched in the desert of his mistakes
telling you that they are your own.
The ones who shoot arrows in your lungs
and you lye bleeding
believing that the color of your blood is true love for him.
The hour hand will spin around the clock
too many times before you leave him.
It will hurt.
You thought it was true,
but after the death of it
you will realize you deserve someone so much sweeter
than a bitter apple.
Love the one who doesn't cheat you blind,
but instead comes to you with truths in his wretched palms
and waits for you to
but never gives up and never stops wishing that the past could rewind
that he could change the things wrong that he did to you.
Love the one who feeds your heart warm apple pie,
who cries in front of your children,
who drives them to school and hugs them when they get home.
Be with someone who doesn't ask for you to change
but instead loves your mistakes
cradles them within his fabric lungs
breathes them in with a grin.
Love is an interesting thing.
You will be thrown out of a moving car to the side of the road.
Some will come running back to you.
Don't jump back in the front seat,
just run
and run
and run
and run
until you find someone who buckles the seat belt for you.
Drives five under the speed limit,
takes things slowly and waits for you to be ready to accelerate.
I am here for you.
Remember me, the one who loved you first,
the one who will never stop loving you.
Come to me after he breaks up with you.
You can cry on my shoulder,
and ill wipe your tears with my sleeve.
Find a love who loves you the way
that your father and I love you,
the way that your grandmother loves you.
Find a love who already considers you family.
Who meets you
and looks into your ocean eyes
and drowns peacefully into your heart.
With the sun shining on my right side
And the clouds pouring rain on my left
It seemed to me, I didn't have too far to go
To reach the most brilliant rainbow I had ever seen yet
I ran as fast as my little feet could take me
Before the spectacle could up and disappear
My whole life, I wanted to scale rainbows
I may as well do it right now and here
When I reached the beginning I was almost blinded
The red and orange were hot to my touch
But when I grabbed a hold of the yellow and green
They didn't hurt so much
I placed one foot on the blue; the other on the indigo
I used the violet underneath me, to point out which way to go
The slope started off steep; it took everything I had to climb
As up and up and up I went, losing all track of time
At the top of the rainbow I could see forever
The earth beneath me and the heavens above
I had never felt this feeling before
I'm pretty sure that they call it "love"
I just sat there in peaceful silence
With the colors wrapped around my limbs
If happiness was a deep blue ocean
I had just jumped in it for a swim
The time had come for me to descend
As the sun was starting to set
I slid down the rainbow like a playground slide
On a ride I will never forget
When I reached the end of the rainbow
I found disappointed people looking for gold
But fortunes aren't found at the end of the rainbow
It's in the journey – or so I am told
Wake up little "Sleepy head"
It's time to rise and shine –
Get up out of that old bed
There are mountains yet to climb.
Put on your shoes and sweater
Take a walk amidst the trees –
Come listen to the sound of loons
Wafting in the breeze.
Wake up now little "Sleepy head"
The hour is drawing near –
For you to dance and find romance
And the path that you must steer.
In this carousel ride on which you fly
Throughout this life you're living –
Come find yourself and all you're worth
And learn the gift of giving.
Wear that pretty purple dress
That matches your dark eyes –
And don't forget to stop and rest
When rainbows fill the sky.
Wake up now little "Sleepy head"
The flower garden's near –
Waiting for you to plant some seeds
That will sprout anew next year.
While you look for love from high above
And in everyone you meet –
Today it's time for you to find
Diamonds at your feet.
Wake up now little "Sleepy head"
It's time to move along –
No more waiting, hesitating
To find where you belong.
Emma was a pretty girl,
And was pretty wild.
She never minded what people said,
Nor did she mind her mother.
Mornings when she left for school
She also left her books,
Everyone would look at her,
And also gave her looks.
She loved to comb through magazines,
Yet never combed her hair,
Her dad thought she should step it up,
So she'd step in puddles.
Now Emma wasn't really bad
She just had had bad habits,
Deciding to turn her life around,
She turned right on the street.
Now as the child was trucking on home,
She saw a truck come at her,
The driver was screaming "Are you mad?"
It seemed he was mad at her.
She stood and watched the truck tip
Heard a tip, get out of the way.
The driver jumped out and flew in a rage,
While thousands of pies flew through the air.
As the pies began to land
On people and on land,
They all turned red, orange and blue
Emma almost felt blue too.
Now as she stood there looking sweet
Tasting the sweet from her dress,
Absolute anarchy went down
As people bent down to delight in a good old fashion pie fight.

You'd think a dog named Lucky,
Would lead a decent life.
But Lucky had his troubles,
And they followed day and night.
One day Lucky ran away
In search of greener pastures.
Just to find a field ablaze,
Thus the start of his disasters.
Although Lucky didn't die that day
And no limbs or parts were broken,
Lucky smelled of smoldered hair
And you'd swear he kept on smokin!
And Lucky liked to chase the cars,
Till the day he lost his nerve
When Lucky met a big 'ol bus
That couldn't stop or swerve.
I'm not sure just how it hit him
Or how he's here today.
But he's never walked straight since,
And one eye veers away.
My Lucky always clashed with cats
And was leery of their paws.
Until a "Tom" of forty pounds
Let Lucky feel his jaws.
Hair and fur balls filled the air
Like Cottonwoods a bloomin.
Poor 'ol Lucky lost an ear,
And now looks twice as stupid.
I confess, I named him wrong
And why he stays, I'll never know.
I guess that I'm the lucky one,
To have Lucky here at home.
I pursued a butterfly through the woods.
It fluttered, just always beyond my reach.
The more I pursued, the more it teased.
Stalking it, like prey, it just fluttered away.
I found a moss covered log to rest,
Sitting in a serene, secluded spot.
A butterfly came ,sat upon the log.
I caught it in the palm of my hands.
It's wings became a rapid flutter,
Trying to escape my grasp.
I opened my hands , freeing it.
If we pursued things in life,
They become unattainable.
If we sit quietly and reflect,
they become attainable.
Chasing our dreams may be
as allusive as the butterfly.
Finding them as beautiful as the butterfly.
Paint me my teacher
A picture of my future
Tell me at this juncture
About My future
I will listen with rapture
You my teacher
Show me every feature
Of my future.
spread me my teacher
the wings to my future
Make me learn
what my efforts will return
Hold my hand
Guide me and
let me walk the path
My life is worth.
Show me my teacher
what is stored in my future
show me the beauty
of my future duty
Then I will paint
a picture with no stain
A future perfect picture.
show me my teacher
the colors to paint my future
I will paint a doctor picture
Or paint a lawyer picture
I will paint my perfect future picture
with the colors from you my teacher
Help me paint my future
My respected teacher.
Just you, me and the open sea,
in a boat with a big white sail.
We'll ride the surf and laugh with glee,
said the centipede to the snail.
We'll point our boat towards the sun
as it sets on the edge of the land.
We'll sing sea songs and have some fun
as we sail away from the sand.
You can search the waves for silver stars
to brighten the blackest night sky,
then catch them in your wee glass jars
before hanging them out to dry.
I myself will fish for a moon,
said the centipede with a smile.
I know I'll net one really soon,
if not in a very short while.
We'll light the dark with fairy lights
and just wait for a lullaby
of mermaids bringing golden kites,
then off to our dreams we will fly.
**I wrote this for my niece Ella on her third birthday
A precious gift! Joy unimagined fills my heart
She smiles! My heart races, leaping!
And like a butterfly in spring, gliding,
It dips among new blossoms
Like a sweet melody playing softly
in the cool of the evening, I soar!
My baby, my first, like an angel sleeps
Soft, warm and brown
I stare in awe of this most perfect gift from God!
Tiny almond-shaped eyes, sparkle- searching
Nothing as beautiful have I ever seen!
She cries and her teardrops like crystal daggers
Pierce, my joyful heart!
And like a wounded sparrow it plummets
Free-falling, and I am left puzzled...confused
Nervous, I gently hold her close to my breast
I am sure she can feel my heart beating..
Suddenly our faces brush... she turns-
Our eyes lock, and smiles ripple!
My first born--all is well in my world.

Sammy was afraid of the dark, what happens when he slept.
He was so often frighten of the unknown he cowered and wept.
His mommy told him there is only one way to ease his fear.
To go out into the night and see what is really out there.
Sammy crept out on trunk of that old oak tree,
Looking up the sky he did not recognize what he'd see.
There were stars speckling the sky like a speckled blanket
And Sammy had wondered where the sun had went.
He searched around and saw great haunting yellow eyes.
The form of the creature he did not recognize.
He heard a squeal, a scream and a whirling sound,
as a dark winged bat came swooping down.
Sammy tried to run back to his safe home in the Oak,
But the bat did stop him and gently she spoke.
"Oh sweet squirrel what brings you out this time of night?"
"I'm looking for the sun, where is the welcoming light?"
"The light of the sun is reflected in the moon in the sky,
Don't ask me because I really don't know how or why,
But it is there to guide the creatures that can't play,
In the sun where it's too bright we can't stay.
The moon is our friend for it is the mirror of the sun,
They work in harmony together they work as one."
Sammy thought that was such an interesting things.
And he began to listen to all the night creatures sing.
The moon was a gift that lit up the darkened hours,
He even saw the lily of the valley that flowers.
Sammy was not scared of the night time anymore.
Knowledge is the power to open any unknown door.

now and again
a word
sneakily obscure
approaches the fog in me
screams its name
apropos adverbs appear
precarious adjectives
slick little nouns
caught hiding
beyond babbling brooks
sent to exile
defiling crooks
"pro"fessional nouns
beneath eight parts of speech
pre'fixed subjects
elusive predicates
slithering suffix'ation
turn-ing key
through holes
freeing vocabulary
within prison walls
pen bars
filled in the past
like Job's tedious job
of siphoning
homographs from heteronyms
words never mind...
they wind the mind
in the wind...
With shining eyes, the prettiest
advances leading all the rest.
She skips with glee beneath blue skies,
the prettiest with shining eyes.
The second, with a warming smile,
comes dressed in lace, and all the while
she lithely romps beneath the sun
with warming smile, the second one.
And woebegone, the daughter third,
walks, scowling, speaking not a word.
She trudges slowly on and on -
the daughter third and woebegone.
Now comes along a steadfast son
whose sauntering seems never done.
He perseveres though winds be strong.
A steadfast son now comes along.
The second boy along the trail
has charity, which does not fail.
He renders aid and brings sweet joy
along the trail, the second boy.
Another son, now onward pressed,
endures although fatigued and stressed.
He's labored much and cannot run,
now onward pressed, another son.
At course's end, a daughter fair
who rests - lets down her golden hair.
Most cheerful, tender, gracious friend,
the daughter at the course's end.

A Magic Adventure of Peter The Pan/AKA Peta The Fwying Pan
Peter was a fine young pan with blue eyes
Like all the other pans his age, except,
Peter could not yet pronounce 'R's'--he tried...
And 'L's'...so hard he tried. He even wept.
School had been especially hard today
Peter had been poked, teased, and made fun of
More this day than any other school day...
And the ride home took so long on the bus.
When he came through the door, his mama knew
"Why the long face? Are you hurt? Are you sick?"
"No ma'am," said Peter, "Just tiwad fwom schoow".
"Some cookies and milk may just be the trick!"
Mama said, as Peter sat down to eat.
By now, everyone was gathered around
To hear of his day--and sneak a treat.
So he told them his story...and they frowned.
"How can someone be so cruel! Makes no sense!
You are the smartest and brightest of pans!"
Said Debbie Dishwasher-- then cycle rinsed.
The rest agreed and came up with a plan.
"Okay! It's agreed!" said Bob the blender.
"You need magic!--THAT--we can render!
Charles Chalice and Gail Goblet--my dear
Bring what you have, for this magic milk shake.
Michael Magic Grill...you go get us some beer
And also get Peter a great big steak!"
Then everyone sang together with cheer:
"A parr-ty! A parr-ty! It's a parr-ty!
We are all...having...a magic--parr-ty!"
Everyone was busy, hust'ling around.
Tams the Golden Toaster was making toast.
Tex Texas Tea Pot hummed a whist'ling sound.
David Dish and Sara Spoon danced the most,
Except for Marlon Mop--he could 'get down'!
Carol Crock Pot was fixing up the Soup.
Russell Rolling Pin had rolled out a crust
For a magic pie with love from the coop.
Joann Juicer made fresh smoothies--a must!
Suddenly...a sound was heard on the stoop...
"Who could that be? It's nearly midnight!"
Said Cyndi Chandlier all bright with light.
Christopher Cutting-board called, "I'll go see!"
Vienna Vaccume said, "Not without me!"
"Wait!" Debbie Dishwasher cried from the sink.
"Let's look at more options. We need to think.
It could be someone in need of a meal...
Or, it's a burglar--come here to steal!"
"Everyone else! Quickly! Hide inside me
Until we find out who that sound might be!"

*****end part I...conclusion in part II
In the middle of the night,
When the moon shines bright,
A creature stirs with a terrible bite,
And his name is Spoonfang.
This vampire with a spoony face,
Has developed quite the taste,
For creatures of the pudding race,
Has the greedy Spoonfang.
So when the stars through dark clouds peek,
Into the kitchen he will creep,
And a tasty snack he'll sneak,
Will the crafty Spoonfang.
Mousse and trifle, cake of cheese,
Ice-cream left in the deep freeze,
He's had a bite of each of these,
Has the naughty Spoonfang.
But tonight he's set his eyes,
Not on mother's tasty pies,
But on Gran's birthday surprise,
A gateau all for Spoonfang.
And so he creeps along the floor,
Tip-toes to the kitchen door,
But someone else is there before,
The bold and daring Spoonfang.
Count Spatula! The greatest Pudding Vampire of them all!
Both the vampires get a fright,
Their screams echo through the night,
And someone switches on the light,
On Spatula and Spoonfang.
Mother tuts and shakes her head,
Sends son and father back to bed,
Neither vampire has been fed,
Not Spatula nor Spoonfang.
Maybe there's a little Pudding vampire in all of us!

Is it time to get serious with Bollywood films?
Chaotic, tuneful and silly, Bollywood films are emblematic of India for millions of movie goers. And some in the Indian film industry believe that's a problem. They believe India is a serious country with serious problems and Bollywood needs a shake up.

Like it or not, compact SUVs, particularly B-segment vehicles, are the segment to be in right now. They may be anathema to enthusiasts in the developed world, but in developing markets, their is no hotter property. In Brazil, where the Renault Duster and Ford Ecosport have reigned supreme, the market has just gotten a bit more crowded.
Tag: Compact Crossover
Refreshed, redesigned or updated, whatever you want to call the changes to the CR-V for the 2015 model year, it's hard to argue with this model's success. The CR-V isn't just the best-selling compact crossover in America, it's the best-selling crossover period and the 7th best-selling vehicle overall. With sales success on the line Honda did what any Japanese company would do: make minor changes that give you more of what shoppers want without upsetting the apple cart. Does that make the CR-V just right? Or is it a compact bore-box?
With pricing for the Audi Q3 and Mercedes-Benz GLA announced, the fight for the luxury compact crossover sales crown is officially on. It's going to be the most important battle of the year for the luxury car market.
That Infiniti-badged Nissan Juke that seemed so outlandish? It's coming – but only for China.
The compact crossover market is so hot that even a moribund auto maker like Suzuki is getting into it – and what you're looking at could very well be the next Vitara.
It's impolite to gloat, but we called the introduction of the Chevrolet Trax back in March. It's nice to be right once in a while.
With the first month of 2014 sales nearly wrapped up, we'll soon get our first look at how the Jeep Cherokee has fared, following the initial shipment of delayed units. Much has been made of the Cherokee selling 10,000 units in November and 15,000 units in December: it was a great storyline for Chrysler to promote in the run-up to NAIAS, and one for the hometown media (in both Detroit and Toledo) to rally around. Left out of the cheerleading was the fact that these figures accounted for the 25,000 units reportedly sent to dealers in one fell swoop. Can you say "pent up demand"?
But even if the Cherokee continued to sell at that pace – say, 15,000 units per month as an optimistic projection, where would that place it in the larger picture of the small crossover segment?
When the RAV4 landed, I wasn't sure what to make of it. In a world of unified corporate identity the RAv4 goes off script with a look all to its own. While the old RAV sold on mini-truck looks, the new one is undisguised crossover. The new nose has grown on me slightly since I recorded the video above, but I still find the look a little awkward. Since I was scolded for wearing striped pants with a striped shirt the week I tested the RAV4, feel free take my style opinion with a grain of salt as you click through the jump.
Officially this is just a concept, but the Lexus LF-NX is supposed to preview an upcoming competitor to the BMW X1 and Audi Q3. Using the familiar 2.5L 4-cylinder hybrid powertrain, the LF-NX will be available in FWD or AWD variants, though specific figures like power output have yet to be announced.
Buick's been on a roll this year, their sales are up and their owner demographics are younger than they have been in recent memory. The cynic in my says that's because half their clientele died of old age, but it has more to do with their product portfolio. Say what? Yep, it's true, the brand I wrote off for dead last decade is targeting younger buyers with designs imported from Europe and finding sales success. The Verano turbo shattered my preconceptions, but can Buick do it again? A brown Encore arrived one rainy morning to see if it was possible. (Read More…)

Rejoice, brothers! A new black crusade is in the making.
THQ core games boss Danny Bilson has told Eurogamer that development on Dawn of War 3 is well underway at Relic. Eurogamer understand that the third game in the series will take elements from the first and second games and "add something new." Bilson previously told EG that Dawn of War 3 will "have a much larger strategic component to it, more of a global battle going on with little tactical things, sort of MMO-like."
Bilson gave a rough estimate for a release date, too, saying the game will likely ship sometime between August 2012 and February 2013. Yesterday, Bilson teased a big new Relic RTS announcement for this year's Gamescom. "This one's built to announce at that place," he said. "I feel like an ass saying it's fantastic, but it is. And we're going to do something with it you haven't seen before."
Bilson originally said that Dawn of War 3 might end up being "a more digital free-to-play experience," depending on the success of Company of Heroes Online. CoHO closed down earlier this year, suggesting the new Dawn of War game won't be free to play, but we could still see features cross over from Relic's Company of Heroes experiment.
CoHO featured persistent hero units that could be levelled up between multiplayer encounters, unlocking new battlefield abilities in the process. The game also featured a player avatar that could be upgraded to unlock powerful, limited use battlefield abilities like air-strikes. It will be interesting to see if Relic bring any of these multiplayer RPG elements into Dawn of War 3′s multiplayer mode to make it a more "MMO-like" experience.
Relic might also be looking closely at the success of the Last Stand mode, which replaces Dawn of War's armies with a single hero. Last Stand was released as a standalone game on Steam earlier this year.
Either way, another Dawn of War game is cause for excitement. We'll know more when the reveal happens at Gamescom in August.
Here's the full link to the article: PcGamer
My personal take on this is that we'll have some form of persistant world, much as in "Dark Crusade", but on a much larger scale. Many 40 K gamers play so-called campaigns in their Hobby-Shops, which consist of several battles in a row, where each victory/loss determines where and how the next battle will be fought. Seems to me that they're trying to emulate that, while also putting a stronger focus on heroes (and hopefully veteran squads). Either way, I'm not too worried about the "MMO"-Lable, as I really believe that to be his simplified way of explaining their intention without giving too much away.
I'm excited, how about you guys?
Update: Relic is planning a large reveal at Gamescom, this year. Check out the DoW III page here on Giantbomb for more news.

The e-reader vs. real books debate rages on! Many people have made the switch to paperless readers like Kindles or Nooks because they take up less space and are easier to carry around. Then there are those die-hard book readers who still prefer the thrill of cracking open a new spine and inhaling the distinct smell of a good old-fashioned printed book. Either way, there is one thing that can't be denied: snuggling up with a new read (whether digital or physical) is a sure way to cure the winter blues.

Architecture Portfolio | Yaman Tezcan 2013
A R C H I T E C T U R E D E S I G N P O R T F O L I O Y A M A N T E Z C A N Born in the historic city Istanbul, I developed a keen interest for architectural designs and buildings constructed by many civilazations on this seven-hill city. As I wandered around Istanbul, I got fascinated with old and yet innovative designs. My attention was diverted to classic work until I went to Chicago and saw the skyscrapers. After seeing both of the cities, I decided to synthesize old and modern architectural designs and integrate them into my style and creativity. Yaman Tezcan SCIENCE&TECHNOLOGY MUSEUM, HELSINKI SPRINGFIELD LIBRARY, OREGON A HOME FOR OUR TIME ORPHANAGE DESIGN, GUADALAJARA MEXICO LOCAL GLOBAL REST AREA, NATIONAL LYCEUM FELLOWSHIP COMPETITION CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY MUSEUM, HELSINKI HELSINKI SOUTH HARBOR The mission of the science museum is to promote scientific discovery, in a space that values learning, companionship and social interaction. It intends to accomplish its mission by unveiling the processes by means of which science and technology are constituted and contributing towards the comprehension of its impacts on everyday life, as well as on the biological and social environment at large. In general terms,the museum aspires to showcase and promote the most recent scientific trends and aims to become a center of excellence, recognized throughout the world. The museum's main focus is on educating students and school children but curators also try to address adults and those who are no longer within the formal education system. The museum's exhibitions are centered around integrative themes, encouraging discussion of issues related to technology, social topics, the environment and the ethical impacts of scientific development. Visitors are encouraged to actively take part in hands-on exhibitions and experiments.

At no time in the past has the role of public libraries been more important than today, with dramatic increases in the amount and complexity of information available, and new forms of media and mass communication drastically impacting contemporary life. This design explores the potential of the contemporary civic library to create a meaningful architectural expression - one that represents holistically the values, aspirations and needs of the community it serves. Related design themes include: community use and civic associations; library identity and sense of place; diversiďŹ cation of library activities; exibility and adaptability for multiuse; integration of new information technologies; and qualitative enhancement of the library environment. expansion UP police station church Concepts: - Make the building "Transparent and Open" - Using differerent shapes for the building to control the type and quantity of light reaching interior spaces UP - Receives good natural light through skylights and clerestory windows d - Simplicity: Clear flow through spaces shows the simplicity of the design - Not Separateness;Responding to Context: The building melt into its surroundings, connects with its surroundings.

This project focuses on the same idea. The goal of the project is to introduce a new architectural vision to the landscape of Eugene with the ultimate aim being to spur on the use of new concepts and designs within the city itself. Garden First, Shaped by the House Principles of "Site Repair" (don't build on the most beautiful part of the land), and the idea of making the gardens first, informs the shape and character of the house. The site is large enough for three houses with the goal that each design are placed on the land,in different combinations with other designs, in sucha way that they still make a beautiful whole. Concepts: -By not building on the best part of the land, and the idea of making the garden ďŹ rst, will inform the shape and character of the house.

The building is narrow for balanced natural daylight and cross ventilation. Light colored walls reflect daylight into the spaces. Exposed concrete floors and ground face CMU walls with insulation provide ample thermal mass to take advantage of Utah's high diurnal temperature swings. Glazing and exterior walls are shaded with overhangs and sand to limit solar gain. These combined strategies resulted in a building that is comfortable in hot weather even without air conditioning. Even with a very high temperature , interior temperatures remain comfortable, assisted by ceiling fans.

"You Gotta Be Kidding!"
by Mickey Charles CEO, sportsnetwork.com
He got off the same bus with Martha and Lester who was overheard to say, "Now, Martha, you go over there to them thar slot doohickies with the handles on the side. Don't you put no more than a nickel in any of them and, y'al remember, we are going home in a couple of days when we lose the $200 we done brought with us."
They are the essence of the buffet meal, the very reason for its existence. Forget the fact that you could feed Bolivia with one evening's worth, or that the selection offered is not half bad...sometimes good, this meal's for you is the battle cry of the folks that help build billion dollar resorts.
But, gambling is a serious business. That is why you must raise your glass (the comped one, with wine, of course) and toast Martha and Lester. They are the ones that more than balance out those that are hoping and planning to win. It may be called gaming over here but it is hardly a game. Perhaps the furthest thing from it. It is a one on one face-off. They, the casinos, are the competition and you are here to thwart their efforts at increasing the bottom line. You are there to meet their challenge head on and invade their territory.
The fact that it is called gaming does not make it a game. This is you against them. Armed warfare with chips, cards, dice, wheels and shoes. It is not a game. If you want to tell all of your friends about your trip to Las Vegas, the big buildings, fantastic electric signs, top name entertainment and how you lost some money at the tables as though it was expected of you while expressing some macho indication of your manhood, send me any amount you wish and, rest assured, I will tell all within earshot that you lost ten times that amount and trumpet your seeming "player" status to the waiting populace. It is that simple.
Does it happen? Yes. But, people also win the state lottery. How many times did you cash in your ticket(s)?
Even with the slots, there is a time to stop. To know when to unscrew your derriere from the seat. If you want to play until you win the car or the giant jackpot and that is your mindset for "X" amount of dollars, knock yourself out! The odds are decidedly against you. Are there "hot" poker machines like there are "hot" tables? Again, yes. Be patient, look around, remember where you were on your last visit and hang tough. However, what was your starting kitty? $200? $300? $500? If you won $100 you have increased your bankroll by 50%, 33 1/3% or 20%. Not bad. Not quite the kind of interest the local bank is giving these days.
That is when greed sets in accompanied by your innate desire to get rid of those quarters because who wants to look like a tourist toting that bucket across the casino floor and into the elevator? Ich!! How gauche.
The name of the game is knowing the rules, where rules are applicable...as in blackjack, craps, and baccarat. Playing like a machine and not like a person with a heart or some inner being Jiminy Cricket that is directing you whether to take a card, wager on pass or don't pass, player or bank. Play like the dealers, croupiers and stick men. With discipline and a bred knowledge of percentages so that they can be swayed to your favor at every opportunity.
You are a machine. An automaton. Go by the book. Listen to the experts. Become one yourself.
The name of the game is that it is not a game unless you make it so. That is when you have to be prepared to make the infamous deposit about which you will joke with neighbors, family and friends. If that is what turns you on, go for it! One would have to believe that winning is a much bigger thrill.
Let Martha and Lester have their fun. They earned it. As for you, come armed to the teeth to win. Can it be done with relative consistency? Do fish fly? You gotta be kidding me!

Pinch hitter Eduardo Escobar lined an RBI single in the 10th inning and the Chicago White made it an adventuresome afternoon, beating the Milwaukee Brewers 1-0 Sunday. The win moved the White Sox past Cleveland into the AL Central lead. Chicago also announced it had acquired All-Star infielder Kevin Youkilis and cash from Boston in a trade for infielder Brent Lillibridge and right-handed pitcher Zach Stewart. Alejandro De Aza opened the White Sox 10th with a double off Manny Parra (0-1). Adam Dunn walked with one out and Escobar, batting for Lillibridge, singled. Brian Bruney (1-0) walked two and struck out a pair in one inning. Starters Michael Fiers of the Brewers and Jose Quintana of the White Sox each pitched deep into the game.

Fantastic PR67 Ultra Cameo 1903 Jefferson Gold Dollar1903 G$1 Jefferson PR67 Ultra Cameo NGC. Though tens of thousands of 1903 Louisiana Purchase Exposition, Jefferson obverse gold dollar uncirculated-finish strikes were struck for sale to collectors, the pieces most prized by numismatists today were never made available to the public. Just 100 mirror-finish proofs, reportedly the first coins off the dies, "... were distributed to favored insiders as well as Exposition and government officials, not to the collecting fraternity."
Since the coins were not distributed to collectors but to non-numismatists, many proofs have experienced some degree of impairment. Among the rest, obscuration of the cameo contrast or even the proof finish is common, due to the wax paper used to shield the coins as they sat in their cardboard holders. A Jefferson gold dollar proof that retains its powerful contrast is a rare prize, avidly sought by the most advanced commemorative gold aficionados.
This magnificent survivor combines gleaming lemon-gold mirrors and rich frost across sharply struck devices. Boldly squared rims help distinguish this proof from the many prooflike circulation strikes also found in the marketplace. The surfaces hold up even under close scrutiny; they are marvelously preserved throughout with an easily appreciated cameo effect and inimitable eye appeal. Out of the original mintage of 100 proofs, the NGC Census Report lists five specimens with Ultra Cameo contrast; of the five, the two numerically finest are graded PR67, and this coin is the only one of the two to have received the Star designation (10/08).

Letters To Ed :-)
"We've been duped by the Republicans. Kentucky Sen. and minority leader Mitch McConnell in a news conference one day after the election, stated that the single and sole goal of the GOP over the next two years is: to make Barack Obama a single term president. What an arrogant and obnoxious goal and statement. There agenda before the election was to get votes by promising that there first goals were jobs, the economy and health care reform. It seems their goal is to grab power, not to do things for the people that are in need of jobs and or unemployment pay, health care for those that don't have it, and the people losing their homes. This is the same party that wanted the auto plants and their suppliers to go out of business. We are just coming back from what they did to this country, and now we have them back to do the same things to our country again. What a mess the next two years is going to bring to this country. Talk about partisanship." Carl D. Leow Rogers Cit

The Smithsonian channel said Michigan was the first government on earth to outlaw killing prisoners. Most of the rest of the planet is finally catching up with us. It's embaressing that Michigan is so far behind on gay marrige that Minnesota and Illinois are beating us. We need to get rid of backward slugs like Benishek and Snyder who want to drag us down into living in the 50's. The Tealiban belongs down south or better yet, in Stanistan.

WASHINGTON — "In February 2010, the Champaign Tea Party in Illinois received approval of its tax-exempt status from the IRS in 90 days, no questions asked.
That was the month before the Internal Revenue Service started singling out Tea Party groups for special treatment. There wouldn't be another Tea Party application approved for 27 months.
In that time, the IRS approved perhaps dozens of applications from similar liberal and progressive groups, a USA TODAY review of IRS data shows.
As applications from conservative groups sat in limbo, groups with liberal-sounding names had their applications approved in as little as nine months. With names including words like "Progress" or "Progressive," the liberal groups applied for the same tax status and were engaged in the same kinds of activities as the conservative groups."
What's next, "the night of broken glass" (Kristallnacht)? Will conservatives be issued fashionable yellow stars to wear?

...the same tiny little mind that is duped by the Benghazi sideshow, and the phony IRS 'scandal'. Your tiny little what passes for a mind cannot recall the same tactics used during the Bush Years, when the NAACP was targetted for audit, along with 'enemies' of Bush. So get all high and mighty, and fake outrage over these distractions, while the TEAliban continues taking charge of the minds and bodies of women, places barricades in the way of minority voters, and attempts a takeover of the First Amendment, with a phony narrative of America being a Christian only nation. YOU, rshRill, are in league with LYING LIARS, and appear proud of it.

"In particular, any group that has 'Patriot' in it's title. Since the Tea Party is the Taliban wing of the GOP, they deserve scrutiny." (Normenemylist)
Taliban wing huh? That's verbatum what the ex-NAACP chairman Julian Bond said. You and he are peachy keen with all groups containing the word "progressive", "Socialist" or "Communist" though, right?
This is but one reason why I think you are an evil piece of sh*t. Once more, if it doesn't affect you or those you agree with, it's perfectly fine with you. Go after those who want to abide by the Constitution and teach the Bill of Rights? Sounds like something an anti-american communist would say and/or do. What's wrong with the Constitution or the Bill of Rights?
That same Constitution we Tea Party Patriots (patriots being a virtuous compliment) contains an idea known as "equal protection".

Follow the 'dots'...Citizens United...Koch Brothers...Tea Party...Of course the Tea Party Groups should be audited, along with ALL other groups that enjoy favorable tax situations for dispersing political monies and ideals. In particular, any group that has 'Patriot' in it's title. Since the Tea Party is the Taliban wing of the GOP, they deserve scrutiny. Hey, shrill, the abortionist recently convicted was a murderer, plain and simple, and politicization is unseemly.

...The organization that holds the title of the nation's largest abortion provider also allegedly turned a blind eye to the safety of women in Pennsylvania and Delaware, opposes legal protections for infants born after botched abortions, and faces repeated accusations of fraud.
This is the organization that President Obama vowed to support at its recent annual fundraising gala. This is the multibillion-dollar industry to which the government sends hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars every year. And the abortion subsidization through taxpayer funding will only increase under Obamacare."

"Late-term abortionist Kermit Gosnell was convicted yesterday of first-degree murder in the deaths of three infants who were born alive after botched abortions performed in his run-down West Philadelphia clinic. He was also found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Karnamaya Mongar, a 41-year-old woman who died from an overdose of anesthetic drugs during an abortion procedure.
Many of those murders followed failed abortions performed after Pennsylvania's 24-week limit. In addition to the four murder charges, Gosnell was also convicted of more than 200 other criminal counts including violating Pennsylvania's informed consent law and performing illegal late-term abortions.
The leader in that industry, Planned Parenthood, performs roughly one out of every four abortions in the United States.

Based on what the IRS has been doing since the "shellacking" democrats took in 2010 by the Tea Party etc., I'm really looking forward to the decisions made by Obamacare's medial review board aren't you?

"VATICAN CITY (AP) – Pope Francis on Sunday gave the Catholic church new saints, including hundreds of 15th-century martyrs who were beheaded for refusing to convert to Islam, as he led his first canonization ceremony Sunday in a packed St. Peter's Square.
The "Martyrs of Otranto" were 813 Italians who were slain in the southern Italian city in 1480 for defying demands by Turkish invaders who overran the citadel to renounce Christianity."

How often do you change your LO's diaper?
My LO is almost 4 mths old and I change him after every feeding. He feeds every 2 - 3 hrs even at night.
For those of you who have LO's waking up in the middle of the night, do you change their wet diaper? Or do you just leave it until morning?
DH thinks that since the cloth diaper doesn't absorb as well, LO will get a rash since it will be constantly wet.
What do you think?

As a precociously smart, athletic tomboy, Eileen Ivers, a future world heavyweight champion Irish fiddler, had a natural gift for stickball, playing on the streets of her Bronx neighborhood where she was raised by her Irish immigrant parents in a loving home drenched with all kinds of music, including, of course, traditional Irish music.
All things Irish reigned and poured in her world from the fluent gift for language and storytelling to a deep abiding love for the old country.
That love for her Irish roots and fascination with the immigrant experience of the Irish diaspora have been inspirations for Ivers, who presents her brilliant, fiery fusion of Irish folk and roots music with her super band, Immigrant Soul, at 8 p.m. Friday, June 27, at the Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, Old Saybrook.
As a child prodigy, who began playing the fiddle at age 8, Ivers dazzled Irish music fans from New York City to Dublin by winning nine All-Ireland fiddle championships, plus a tenth top award on tenor banjo and an additional 35 medals, making her one of the most decorated players ever in the prestigious competition — the World Cup of Irish music. Not only was she young but, even more incredibly, she was from America not Ireland. The gifted, first-generation Irish-American's great mentor and teacher in the Bronx was the master talent cultivator, Martin Mulvihill, who was, after all, originally from Limerick.
After such success with Irish folk contests, Ivers began to think about expanding her musical horizon to incorporate other genres.
She had a growing desire to explore how Irish music interacted with genres around the world, whether in Appalachia or Canada. It was her openness to the winds of change that led to her innovative, open-ended approach, all done without, she feels, diluting the essence of Irish music or ever losing sight of who she is as an Irish-American and where she came from as the proud daughter of Irish immigrants.
Part of the key to opening her mind and ears to this new frontier for contemporary Irish music may well have been her growing love for, of all things, mathematics as she edged into her 20s.
At Iona College, a Congregation of Christian Brothers-affiliated college in New Rochelle, N.Y., Ivers, developed an intellectual passion for higher mathematics. Even after graduating magnum cum laude from Iona with a degree in math, she pursued further studies on a post-graduate level. She was entranced by the logic and pursuit of working out harmonious solutions with equations and theorems.
Her curiosity inspired her to fuse world and roots music influences — everything from African and Latin to bluegrass, country, pop, rock and the improvisational edge of jazz —- with her lifelong passion for Irish music.
Her bold mathematical formula — Irish music + World music + the use of non-traditional Irish folk instrumentation, including, quite shockingly to folk purists, electronics — has yielded her a celebrated signature sound.
Retaining its core Irish roots, Ivers' jubilant blend that the New York Times declares makes her "the Jimi Hendrix of the Violin," has been electrifying audiences in concert halls around the globe. Her giant breakthrough occurred in the '90s during a three-year stint as the pyrotechnical instrumental soloist with the original production of "Riverdance," right from the mega-hit show's opening night in Dublin.
Perhaps the best and most succinct summation of this Celtic superstar's embrace of multiple styles and her Irish heritage was written by the Pulitzer Prize-winning, Irish-born writer Frank McCourt ("Angela's Ashes"): "She's Irish, she's American, she's international…Eileen is ready to take her fiddle to the mountain, prairie, savannah, jungle and bring back the sounds that keep us fresh, that renew us. Like Walt Whitman, she contains multitudes, and cannot be contained by Irish music itself."
Recently, Ivers spoke to by phone from her home in Rockland County, N.Y., where she lives, except for summer sojourns in her family home in County Mayo, Ireland, with her husband/manager Brian Mulligan and 5-year-old son, Aidan.
Q: In your performances you talk about the long history of Irish immigration. Tell me about your link with that and your Irish heritage, which is so central to your persona and artistry.
A: The Irish people are one of the most resilient people in the world, considering what they've gone through and endured. Yet they kept their faith, their language and their traditions. I think it's a very inspiring story.
Q: What about your parents who emigrated from Ireland to the U.S.?
A: Both my parents were from County Mayo in the West of Ireland, and came over in the 1950s. They instilled in me and my sister the love of our Irish heritage, and also the pride of being American and the great opportunities that this great country can allow.
It was a wonderful upbringing because we had that sense early on, and my dad — God, rest his soul… we lost him about two years ago…worked for the airlines most of his life. The wonderful thing about that job was that he was able to get our family of four over to Ireland every summer for a couple months of summer vacation visiting relatives there. We were out of the Bronx in the long, hot summer and over to Ireland where my sister and I were running around playing with the cows and jumping over haystacks.
Q: What was it like in your neighborhood in the Bronx when you were growing up?
A: There were other ethnic groups around, but the neighborhood I was brought up in was Irish. There was even a great bakery with Irish scones and a terrific butcher shop up the block. Looking back, you get a sense of how these Irish immigrants were holding onto their heritage in so many ways, whether it was with sports or food and, most especially, through their music and dance.

|There's a reason why Frank Sinatra and Las Vegas are so closely linked: Ol' Blue Eyes was supremely comfortable in Sin City, allowing for many of his greatest performances over the decades, as revealed on this excellent 2006 four-CD/one-DVD collection of previously unreleased material. While the first two discs present Sinatra at the Sands during his 1960s heyday, the third and fourth discs consist of '80s concerts. Naturally, the '60s recordings find the Chairman of the Board in top form, as the deep-voiced crooner breezes through jazz/pop classics such as "Moonlight in Vermont" and "Come Fly with Me," the latter part of a remarkable set with Count Basie and his orchestra. However, the '80s shows are also impressive, revealing that Sinatra could still stun an audience late in his storied career, a notion further backed up by video footage of a swinging late-'70s concert at Caesar's Palace.
