That beautiful rhythm of life,
Of your heartbeat connecting you to the water's thrum,
Of the bells of a church off in the distance, thick resonating tones that are deep and red like pomegranate seeds,
Of the sighs of newborn children in their cribs,
And excited shrieks of young ones prancing through wooden castles and metal webs.
Swaying to the comforting voice of my favorite cello,
In the soft hazy glow of my night's lamp,

Of a single trace on bare skin,
Of the breath of ones you love on your neck,

A chill on the skin,
The continuous twittering of the southern crickets,
And a little girl, curled in her bed.
Just a little brown-headed girl,
All tucked in without a care,
Her dreams take her across the world and under the sea,
With Disney-fied promises of true love and happy endings.
How simple it really was,
Back before that girl became me
She used to fantasize and dream during both turns of the Sun,
And never feared anything or anyone.
She loved both her mother and her father,
Her little baby sister and her pups and kittens,
She loved everything.
She knew nothing.
That little brown-headed girl never knew her mother's bitter heart as well as I do now,
And she never knew her sister would change,
She never knew her father would nearly work himself to death each night,
And she didn't know that money controlled the world.
She never knew that she'd be criticized for her body by others,
For her mind and spirit by her own blood-kin,
She never knew that one day, s

Peel back the skin and reveal my porcelain heart,
Like a clockwork doll, made in secret from the mountains,
A lock is encased in its center,
And the key was lost long ago
Given to a man of a name I've never known
You play music of the sweetest notes,
Stories of love and devoted trust
Love I don't deserve
Love I can only give away
What a truthful night it has been for this doll,
Every heart spoke its truth,
And she nearly cried from her shock
So much love and care,
From those she's never met never known
Her crystal blood flows freely now,
Warming up her ceramic skin,
Her glass lips shining,
Her bright eyes sparking,
You all have awoken me, once more.
I'm just the clockwork doll brought down from the mountains .
Basking in the unimaginable, unexpected love of your words.

A peeking eye above the sliver,
A quick prick of a frost-bitten shiver,
The tears of such a beastly heart are flames licking my skin.
Too timid to admit the pain,
I fall to my knees in the obvious shadow,
Letting these tears of gasoline ignite upon the painted scene,
And excuse my blood's habit of finding our perfect poison.
I am the Victorian-doll who hollows her chest for her prince-charmings,
I give my all, I tear my clothes, I do all but open my eyes to the price of strange love,
I excuse behavior for the sake of pride, for the sake of being alone otherwise…
I am hopeless, and never wish to be alone.
I fall to the leaves, my arms crossing my chest, my hair spreading and tangling in autumn love,
And as every breath, every whisper, every shiver electrifying my spirit soars and eases every fear,
I can never remember why I need so much…
I can never understand why I fear so much…

Highlighted by stars on silver straws,
Casting a haunting glow down upon the worn gravel,
As insatiable shadows grovel past.
The sky above is painted with ornamented denim,
The moon, an ivory button,
Polished but forgotten on its dusty shelf.
The music of ages passes through the muggy air,
The muffled thrum of cycling onyx rings,
And the feeling of emptiness,
Gliding like a nocturnal demoness,
My eyes, cold and translucent, stare ahead and watch the world blur.
I could spend an eternity in this softened throne,
Enjoying the simplicity of the sweet darkness,
Of a long drive at night.

Closing my eyes to the setting sun,
I feel my lips pinch in a small smile,
As I remember everything about you that makes my days special.
Every moment spent, every text sent,
I smile, knowing that you are mine,
And I sleep into dreams of holding your hand,
And kisses in courtyards,
Darkened rooms and bleachers,
Special memories take my hand,
And guide my heart to the reasons why I need you.
As long as I can dance the dance of both worlds,
Tread that fine line and remember my lies,
You'll be mine, and I'll be yours.

All leaning into one another,
Some holding warmed hands,
Tempting crystal smiles.

Holding hands with a memory of his.
Memories of something sweet,
chilling small places on my neck and cheek,
And a shiver shakes my back,
Lightning cradling my skull and soothing the pressured drum of my heart.
I can't help but remember everything
And as I sit here,
I appear alone.
When in reality,
My heart is in his hand,
And the sweet warmth of his skin,
Is still tingling the palms of my own.
Let them think that I am alone.
Let them think that I am foolish and insane.

How not to treat others. To love others.

Slow and steady wins the race.
They know where they want to go; what they want to do.
They always have a plan. They always have an answer. Academically, they blossom like buds in spring; but socially, they crumble like a sandcastle under a powerful wave. But, perhaps, we do not give the square enough credit. We look at its uniform shape, but not at the fact that it is strong and sturdy. It is able to endure whatever may be thrown at it.

She couldn't imagine how she looked; she had been pretty before this. Most of the toms in the apprentices' den practically drooled over her. Swiftpaw and Cloudpaw constantly battled for her aff

I woke up early the next morning to the sound of gagging. Fear seeped into me, stretching out long icy fingers and gripping my heart. In an instant, I was on my paws and bounding to my mother's side. Her entire body wrenched as she coughed up the mouse I had caught for her. "Mother?" I practically yowled, on the edge of panic. "Mother!" Her body heaved and she let out another massive cough.
She dug her unsheathed claws into the floor of the den and then sheathed them, tearing up the bark from the tree. "Cat " she spluttered. "Cat "
"Mother," I whimpered. Tears blurred my vision. She wasn't exactly a loving mother, but she was my mother after all. I loved her and I couldn't bear to even think of losing her. "What is it? What do you need? Tell me, I'll get it for you. Mother!" I promised. My entire body was shaking with fear.
"Water Cat I need water," she gasped between her coughs.
I leapt out of the den and onto the top of the tree trun

"Any king who must shout 'I am the king' is no king," Jabari muttered from his position just under High Stone. Dakarai, who had been standing on top of the rock, overlooking the camp, glanced down at his father.
"But I will be the king one day," he pointed out with a manic giggle.
Jabari rolled his eyes. His son was troublesome, yes, but ever since his mother had washed her paws with him after he practically destroyed the nursery, it had been his duty to look after him and find ways to drain his endless supply of energy. "I am too old for this foolish nonsense," he grumbled, flopping down in the shade underneath High Stone.
The king knew that he would have to start training his son in the ways of a king sooner or later, but was procrastinating. As Dakarai jumped down from High Stone and began to race around the camp, Jabari shook his head; he was not ready. As he lay there, he remembered something that his father had said to him.

Remember I am still
the woman you know.
I am still found
in every part
of this body's rhythm--
I am in the ka-thump, ka-thump
of my heartbeat,
the steady flow
of blood that courses rivers
on its way to these limbs.
Remember that. Even when I seem gone,
I am still here.
Do not promise to never leave.
People leave. Hearts grow old
and heavy; I do not want
to be a burden you carry--
I do not want to be an obligation
to a promise.
If you need to leave,
leave, but be honest
if you tell me
you're coming back.
Ignore the voice in your head
lying to you. I am tired. I am weary,
but my heart has not gone
and I still appreciate you.
Forgive me for not singing
my usual songs. I have not forgotten
or moved on without you,
but the plover nestled behind my tonsils
swoops, swoops. She believes
she protects me, even as her beak
splits my throat.
Remember and remind me.

Elyssami Faith and Mykelti Noah (TRIGGER)When my first pregnancy occured, I was 13 years old and terrified. This baby had not come about consensually and I didn't have a clue what to do about it all. I'm ashamed to say I hated and resented the baby growing inside me because I was so afraid. I believed/felt that the baby was a boy, but I didn't care to name him. Out of fear and hope, I told my father I was pregnant, knowing what he'd do. My father arranged things, and in a horrific ceremony, my son died. The whole thing was so traumatic that I repressed it all for many years. When it returned, I began to sort through my emotions and experiences. I named my son Mykelti Noah. His first name is an African name meaning close to God, and Noah traditionally means peace or comfort. Together, I interpret his name as "at peace with God", which gives me comfort. Although I recognise that I could not have given him a safe family life, I still grieve his loss and have come to love the innocent baby he could have been.Elyssami Faith and Mykelti Noah (TRIGGER) in Emotional More Like This

Whangarei Leader
A fun time for the whole family is on offer with this Saturday's Onerahi Community Day.
The free event will be run from 10am till noon at Sherwood Park by Onerahi Resource Centre and Health Promotions.
The aim of the day is to celebrate living in Onerahi, resource centre co-ordinator Faith King says.
The event is part of the Endless Summer Festival and will include musical entertainment, dancing and buskers.
Food will be for sale including coffee, a hangi and a barbecue.
Health Promotions will be promoting a healthy and safe community and its message will be driven home with free fruit kebabs and water bottles.
"I think it's a great time to do it because lots of these events have sweet things but nothing healthy," Faith says.
A strong anti-violence message will also be promoted, carrying on the theme of a recent hikoi in central Whangarei dedicated to Patricia Wowo McGrath.
There will also be community stalls, giveaways and a display of SPCA pets up for adoption.

Gay referee Nigel Owens supports anti-suicide campaign

Good on him. Brave and important work. (He's really cute as well!)
As a Samaritan, I am compelled to notify the editor that Samaritans to not take sides and we do not attempt to prevent suicide. We do not guilt people or tell them not to, quite the contrary, we listen, we help you to mull over your thoughts, to reflect, not to advise. Samaritans believe in selfdetermination and at the end of the day it's an individuals choice. At Samaritans, we just care, and we hope that by talking to us, and by having someone to talk to that's not going to tell you "stop being selfish," or whatever a family member or friend might. We're just here for you and will support you in any discion you make.
Really good on him I say.
This is a cause really close to my heart. To feel so down, depressed and …alone is one of the worst things.
Been there also…
Well done Nigel.
Living in tne same Welsh village as Nigel and knowing him confirms his support for the Samaritans campaign is again an impulse from his humanity, compassion and courage in making it ok for men to be vulnerable and seek help. Pob hwyl Nigel gwelloch ti eto /All the best Nigel see you later. Keith Evans

"My family and I stayed here for the weekend. It was beautiful and extremely comfortable. The house is well-cared for and is very nicely furnished. It felt special and exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed roasting marshmallows in the fire every night (firewood was pre-chopped and provided), and the house was stocked with everything you would want. The house is also quiet and very convenient to good fishing. The owner, Justin, was also easy to work with. We loved it and hope to go back."Guest: RD Date of Stay: March 2015 Review Submitted: March 11, 2015View listing
"My boys LOVED this place!!! Authentic log cabins, lots of space and the Big Hole river to fly fish on! My boys (21, 22 & 55) were able to walk into the river and go upstream into a huge section that is not easily accessible to the public. If there had not been huge rains the day before we arrived, fishing would have been outstanding. Be sure to have good river boots the rocks are a bit slippery here. Each log cabin has been incredibly restored, three are on new foundations and are all sealed pretty tight. Chris, the owner, has put a lot of love into this place. I am a home remodeler and appreciated all of the detail and lots of thought has gone into the restoration of these great buildings. The beds were comfortable and well appointed. Each cabin is a bit of a distance from each other, which we liked, and were glad to have brought flashlights. Great for adults or older kids who are comfortable sleeping in their own cabin. The kitchen has an amazing commercial stove/oven and huge refrigerator. We were able to grilled outside every night. It is rustic but very comfortable. My boys are planning their next getaway and would love to make this their landing place again. Be sure to come with your groceries or drive to Butte or Dillon for supplies. Melrose has two fly fishing shops and both were very helpful. We also drove over to the Wise river and Twin Bridges to fish, all within 45 minutes or so. We booked this rental at the last minute…like one day in advance and arrived late at night. The cabins were opened (window shutters open and fans on) and music greeted us in the cooking cabin. It was a bit of an adventure learning the lay of the land late at night. About my rating. I would have given it a 4 star rating since I, the only gal, had to sweep out each cabin the first day, behind the bathroom doors had not been swept for a while, and wipe down the kitchen for my liking (I would have liked to have had a vacuum with an edger). My boys roll their eyes and give this vacation spot 6 stars out of 5 so I had to use the average and rated it a 5 :-) Thank you Chris for sharing this great place it has given us wonderful family vacation memories."Guest: Janelle S.

"Three of my friends and I just wanted to get away from work, dishes, laundry, and our 'stuff'; so we rented this little cottage for a couple nights. We felt at home the moment we walked in. It was clean, comfortable, and practically furnished and supplied. The view was great, and the air fresh and inviting. We looked the town over, drove around to see all the old houses, and let our imaginations run. We laughed because some of the things in the antique stores were still in use in our own homes. When the air got cool at night, we turned on the stove and ate our candy from the Sweet Palace. We wrapped up in blankets, sat on the porch, watched the moon come up and listened to the dog barking in the distance. The only problem we had was...... we didn't want to go home. So, we called Bob and Nancy and asked if we could stay another night. They laughed and said 'Yes.' (We had to bribe our husbands by promising them fudge from the candy store) I've been doing rentals for almost 15 years, and I've met a lot of owners. These people were the easiest to work with that I've met. We will be going back when we can get away again. Thanks Bob and Nancy."Guest: Sunflower Date of Stay: September 2014 Review Submitted: September 12, 2014View listing
"We spent a month, Aug/Sept, in the house and had a fantastic time! Mark was excellent to interact with from initial inquires to refund of deposit. He is a really nice guy. The setting of the house is perfect, it is furnished with everything you need to have a relaxed time, and it is very clean. Besides fishing on the Madison, there are many other smaller streams to fish as well - West Fork of the Madison, Indian Creek, Ruby River, Willow Creek, etc. If you are there over a major holiday, go to the Patagonia Outlet sale in Dillion and then to the Taco Bus for lunch. Thanks for sharing your beautiful house Mark!"Guest: Patricia M. Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: September 22, 2014View listing

text: Went to Sydney with 3 mates in February for 3 nights. Managed to find a deal online for a twin room at $110 a night, so we grabbed 2 rooms. Turns out the twin rooms contained two double beds which was very nice. The only complaint I have is the location. Unless you have a car or are willing to use a taxi you are in the middle of nowhere. Trains take 45 minutes to get into the city and don't run as often or as late as other services. This isn't the fault of the hotel though. Also McDonalds and KFC were just across the road which was perfect for us :)

The Ultimate Fighting Championship on Friday announced that a trio of bouts has been verbally agreed to for the TUF Live Finale on June 1 in Las Vegas.
TUF 12 winner Jonathan Brookins will face Charles Oliveira, Max Holloway meets Pat Schilling, and John Albert squares off with Byron Bloodworth.
Brookins (13-4) won The Ultimate Fighter as a lightweight, but then dropped back down to featherweight, where he is 1-1 in the Octagon. He is coming off of a victory over Vagner Rocha at UFC on Fuel TV 1.
Brookins' opponent, Oliveira (15-2), is 3-2 with 1 no contest inside the Octagon. He also dropped down to featherweight for his last bout, scoring a first-round submission victory over Eric Wisely.
Holloway (4-1) suffered the only defeat of his career thus far in his UFC debut on Super Bowl weekend. He lost at UFC 143 to Dustin Poirier, who headlines the UFC on Fuel TV 3 fight card.
He'll try to score his first victory in the Octagon against Schilling (5-1), who also lost his promotional debut. Daniel Pineda defeated Schilling at UFC on FX 1, knocking him out of his unbeaten streak.
Coming off of a loss to Ivan Menjivar at UFC on Fuel TV 1, Albert (7-2) emerged from the cast of TUF 14. He scored a victory over Dustin Pague at the TUF 14 Finale prior to dropping the bout to Menjivar.
He'll also be looking to course correct when he steps in the Octagon with Bloodworth (6-2). Having lost to Mike Easton at UFC on Versus 6 last October, Bloodworth is trying to make a rebound of his own, and won't likely be easy prey for Albert.
A No. 1 welterweight contender's bout between Jake Ellenberger and Martin Kampmann and the TUF Live finals headline the June 1 fight card in Las Vegas.

Product description
Based on a pioneering research programme on the evolution of top incomes, this volume brings together studies from 10 OECD countries. This rapidly growing field of economic research investigates the top segment of the income distribution by using data from income tax records over the past century. As well as describing the source data and methods employed, the authors also discuss the dramatic changes that have occurred at the top of the income scale throughout the 20th century. This fascinating study is the first of its kind to provide a comprehensive historic overview of top income distribution over the last century. It looks at why top incomes shares fell markedly in the first half of the 20th century and why, more recently, there has been a striking difference in the top income distribution between continental Europe and English-speaking OECD countries, like the UK, USA, and Australia. Written by the top names in the field, this seminal work provides rich pickings for those with an interest in inequality, development, the economic impact of war, taxation, economic history, and executive compensation.

The latest research found that among middle school students, those who reported receiving a sext were six times more likely to also report being sexually active.

Product description
This edition combines 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' with Arthur Conan Doyle's own favourite Sherlock Holmes stories, and an introduction by his acclaimed biographer Andrew Lycett. The cover design is by Michael Kirkham, one of today's most admired illustrators. This clothbound edition is part of a series of readers' best-loved classics published in fine volumes, produced to the highest standards for under twenty pounds: making it an affordable luxury. Instead of a dust jacket, the decorated cloth covers have a printed illustration wrapping around the book. Coloured page tops, decorated endpapers, meticulous line-by-line typesetting and thick acid-free paper are among the elements that differ from a standard hardback, to embody the virtues of a good book. The result is quality of design and production that adds to the pleasure of reading and makes each book a desirable object in itself. For anyone interested in a fine edition of a favourite work, this is an attractive volume for the bookshelf or an authentic and distinctive present.
