DescriptionUsed to describe any game where the main setting of gameplay involves the player character moving from one side of the playfield to the other horizontally for a length of time. The screen may scroll to the opposite direction continuously, or just when the player character reaches the edge of the screen, enlarging the area or opening a new one. Side-scrolling perspective is often entirely two-dimensional; however, some side-scrolling games (particularly beat-'em-ups) may allow limited movement into the depth of the screen. Side-scrolling perspective is common for most 2D platformers, as well as many 2D shooters and action games in general.

Cape mansion that costs R100K a dayComment on this story
Cape Town -
If you consider paying R100 000 a month to rent a property in Cape Town extravagant, imagine paying R100 000 a day.
That's the current rental price for a night's stay at the 7 000 square metre Enigma mansion at The Glen in Camps Bay.
Only some of the wealthiest people in the world would be able to afford a few days at the mansion which would cost about R3 million a month and R36.5m a year to rent if one stayed there every day.
For commercial or feature film shoots, it could turn out to be even more expensive.
FHM magazine has just completed a film shoot with eight international models there, which cost it R190 000 for every 10 hours, said Celeste Lombard, the rental agent at Lola Kramer Properties.
Enigma, which resembles a castle and is situated in a manicured park, is punted as Cape Town's "grandest and most palatial mansion".
Shaun Kramer, the sales agent for the property agency, said:
"It's the most expensive house in South Africa, to rent and to buy." He said its purchase price was R355m.
It was but one of several properties its European owners had across the world, including on the Spanish party island Ibiza.
As for what one gets for the extraordinary price tag: although the names of guests are kept confidential, some comments on the mansion's website are revealing.
Londoner "Kate M" said she and her companions, who stayed there for two weeks in January, were initially reluctant to book due to the high price, but it was "the best deal we ever got" and "just out of this world".
"Enigma is pure opulence, sensuality, a dream for the senses. If your desire is to live one time in a true ultra-luxurious palace, but with the convenience of the latest available technology, then this is the place to go."
"Angelina B", from California, said there was so much to see in Cape Town, but she and her fellow travellers never left the property.
"There are other stunning places… but if you love glamour, perfection, beauty and luxury while at the same time have total privacy, I can't think of any other place which could compete," she said.
Kramer said the owners had consolidated four properties into one and had an "eclectic taste". Some items inside were "incredibly valuable".
Interestingly, some of its key features are things one can't buy – for example its view and tranquility. Its location, which offers unobstructed views of Lion's Head, Table Mountain, The Twelve Apostles and the ocean, is described as being "one of the most spectacular on the South African coastline".
Inside the mansion are four suites, a studio apartment and a two-storey guest house, which the agents say outclass even seven-star hotels.
For example:
* Door handles, plates and even hinges that are gilded pieces of art hand-made in Argentina by craftsmen who replicated door handles from the time of Louis XIV, the aristocratic King of France between 1643 and 1715, who lived in the Palace of Versailles.
* Wallpaper handprinted by Zuber in Paris and Persian Tabriz carpets from Essie in London.
* Chandeliers and wall lamps that are either antique or handmade.
* Original works of art, including a white Carrara marble statue named the Greek Slave sculpted in 1859 by the 19th century Italian sculptor Scipione Tadolini.
* A 100m2 3D cinema with interior decor that comes from a Moroccan palace.
* There are 10 terraces, an Olympic-sized pool, several tea houses, temples, a gym, a dance studio, a sauna, a wine cellar and a massage room.
* Every room has a 3D television and offers state-of-the-art technology, including iPads controlling music, air-conditioning, under floor heating and light settings.
* Nine staff to cater for guests with all meals concoted by chef Richard Chamberlain.

Mirror Dance (Vorkosigan Saga) (original 1994; edition 2011)

best of the series.
A story of two brothers, a morally corrupt system which farms clones for their parts, and their fight against it. This is also a story of a young man trying to find his identity and place in the world, when most people around him think of him as a disposable clone, or not quite as good as the original. I love the character growth which takes place in this story. Both Miles and especially his brother.
One reason I love Bujold is for her fierce commitment to love of the unwanted/different/difficult people in our lives. She always stretches my mind and my heart a bit with each story. I subtracted half a star from this only because of the extreme situations and descriptions of torture in the story. It reduced my desire to read the story a second time, although, I probably will.
It's a tough call on this book. It started out slow, got kind of crappy, then finished fantastically. Excellently read again.
The first third had a lot of back story in it. If a person hadn't read any of the series, they would appreciate it. BUT, it's a series. Skip books at your own risk & let those of us who have read it read the new story.
The middle got into Mark's head until it was just boring. He had a horrible life & a lot to figure out.
Got it.
Got it.
Got it.
Got it.
(Bored yet? I was.)
Saying anything about the end would spoil it, so I'll just say that once the action picked back up, the story flew along & dragged me along. Totally worth putting up with the rest.
Mirror Dance is a wonderfully plotted book with great characters, madcap adventure, tons of tension and plenty of laughs. It won the Hugo Award and the Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel in 1995.
Not my favourite of the series though not bad. Too much torture and agony for me. I think she handles the subject well enough, I just don't like being there.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0671876465, Mass Market Paperback)Miles Vorkosigan faces more than his share of troubles as the protagonist in Mirror Dance. Not only is he deformed and undersized but he has a cloned brother who gets into a jam in the free enterprise plague spot known as Jackson's Whole. Miles tries to help his brother but ends up injured, placed on cryogenic suspension and then lost in intergalactic limbo. And that's just in the first 100 pages. The following 300 pages add a wealth more to this fantastic tale that's both humorous and finely written. Mirror Dance won the 1995 Hugo Award for Science Fiction.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:07:59 -0400)
Mark Vorkosigan hijacks a ship of the Dendarii Mercenaries and flies to the outlaw planet, Jackson's Whole, to destroy the clone creches where he was raised. The mission goes wrong and Miles, his host clonebrother, has to mount a rescue.

Boyd Gaming Corporation
) recently inked a definitive acquisition agreement with Peninsula
Gaming, LLC. Per the agreement, Boyd Gaming will acquire Peninsula
Gaming for $1.45 billion, by year-end 2012.
Peninsula's five properties are spread across in three of the
country's most compelling geographic locations that made it a
lucrative acquisition target. The properties are Kansas Star Casino
near Wichita, Kansas; Diamond Jo Casino in Dubuque, Iowa; Diamond
Jo Worth in Northwood, Iowa; Evangeline Downs Racetrack &
Casino in Opelousas, Louisiana; and Amelia Belle Casino in Amelia,
The deal is in sync with the Boyd Gaming's strategy to grow
through geographical diversification. The to-be-acquired properties
also resonate with the psyche of Boyd Gaming's currently
operational portfolio. Once completed, Boyd management anticipates
that the acquisition will be accretive to earnings, net of
transaction costs as well as enhance free cash flow considerably
that will in turn help Boyd to de-lever in the coming days.
Additionally, Boyd management commented that the Peninsula
assets operate in flexible markets in the Midwest and Southern zone
of the country. Boyd gaming currently has Midwest and Southern
operations which are yielding high returns. Hence, the recent
acquisition will take Boyd's presence in that region to a new
The region is still under-penetrated by other gaming companies
and offers a relatively favorable tax and regulatory environment
which help drive EBITDA margins compared to those industry peers
doing business in other geographies. We also believe that less
stringency in regulatory procedures will facilitate a seamless
closure of the transaction.
We view the deal as strategically positive for both parties,
given that Peninsula Gaming is being paid an outstanding multiple
for its high-yielding portfolio. As of March 31, 2012, Peninsula
had a highly levered balance sheet with total long-term liability
of $713.8 million and cash and cash equivalents of $47.0
Boyd Gaming will fund the deal with $200.0 million in cash and
approximately $1.2 billion in debt at the Peninsula subsidiary. The
consideration will also include a note of approximately $144
million provided by Boyd Gaming. Further, the agreement says, Boyd
Gaming is entitled to pay some extra in 2016 if Kansas Star's
EBITDA exceeds $105 million in 2015. This extra amount would be 7.5
times more EBITDA over $105 million.
Boyd Gaming, which competes with the likes of
Penn National Gaming Inc.
), currently retains a Zacks #3 Rank that translates into a
short-term Hold rating. We are also maintaining our long-term
Neutral recommendation on the stock.

There never seems to be enough time to get everything done that we want to during the holidays. Even when we work to simplify things, it can still get hectic this time of year. If you do a lot of baking, you know one of the things that seems to take forever is letting butter soften. It's so simple to do – just take it out of the refrigerator and let it sit on the counter for an hour, but sometimes you don't have that hour.
Putting it in the microwave never achieves good results. Part of it gets soft, but part of it melts, too, and melted butter creates a different texture in baked goods than softened butter. So, what can you do to speed the butter softening process? Try one of these ideas.
- Put the butter between two pieces of wax paper (or reuse the bag from a cereal box) and roll it out with a rolling pin to soften it. Simply Recipes has more specific instructions on how to do this.
- Cut the butter into smaller chunks. The Kitchn says the smaller chunks will soften more quickly than a whole stick. They offer a few other suggestions, too.
- Grate it straight from the refrigerator. Martha Stewart says it will then soften quickly. This is probably your best bet for butter that comes straight from the freezer, too.
- Put a stick in a Ziploc bag and place the bag between your cleavage. Hey, I'm just the messenger; the message is coming from Culinate. Apparently, if your cleavage is ample enough, the butter will be soft in 10 minutes!

Typically that means the rack and pinion assembly is leaking, but one end of the high-pressure hose is also on the driver's side. If a seal is leaking in the rack assembly you can slide the clamp off the small end of either accordion boot, then use a pick to pull the boot open a little. If fluid runs out, you need a new rack assembly. You only need to check one boot. There's a transfer tube between them for air to move back and forth. If there's a leak on one side, the fluid will show up on both sides.

The economic model of law schools is broken, says Brian Z. Tamanaha, JD, JSD, professor of law at Washington University in St. Louis and author of the new book, Failing Law Schools, published by the University of Chicago Press.
"This involves thousands of law students. For the majority of law students, the cost of obtaining a law degree and the economic return on a law degree are out of whack."
In his book, Tamanaha, the William Gardiner Hammond Professor of Law at WUSTL, explains in detail why the law school system is in trouble. His past experience as a dean of a law school helps shape his analysis.
He discusses law professor salaries and job requirements, tuition increases and job placement prospects.
"Law school still pays off for students going into corporate law, but that field has significantly contracted," Tamanaha says.
"In the last two years, with the tightening of the legal market, it exposed a lot of things that were getting papered over, like the poor job results for a third of all law students," Tamanaha says.
"When it gets to this point, it's the obligation of legal educators to take a serious look at our role in the problem. The current economic model of law schools is unsustainable. In many cases, schools will have to radically restructure their economic operation if they hope to survive."
Tamanaha wrote this book for legal educators, policymakers, prospective law students and current law students.
"Law school can still be a wise decision, but it has to be made carefully," he says.
http://youtu.be/gjx3JwR1F4sBrian Tamanaha, JD, JSD, professor of law at Washington University in St. Louis, discusses Failing Law Schools, his new book written for educators, policymakers and students.
In Failing Law Schools, Tamanaha offers formulas for prospective students to calculate tuition and general living expenses while in law school. He also gives tips for current law school students to reduce costs while in school.
"The debt numbers are so large that they can become abstract," he says. "I want to give a concrete, clear picture of the impact of law school debt."
Tamanaha says that law schools will not change without external pressure.
"I've looked at why people keep coming to law schools despite the enormous cost, and there are two main reasons: people believe a law degree will pay off and they have the ability to come thanks to the federal loan program," he says.
"It's time to cap the federal loan program."
Tamanaha notes that there are signs that the demand for a legal education is decreasing.
"Many schools are seeing a drop in applications," he says.

Welcome Back, Greg Oden
Fans were beginning to conclude that Greg Oden's NBA career was over. He hadn't played since Dec. 5, 2009, due to chronic knee injuries, but on Wednesday evening he shocked the nation with his return to the Miami Heat. "I know the guys were happy for me. I definitely felt love. And I'm excited that they were there for me," Oden said about his return.

Welcome to the last full week of the Year of the Cat. The New Moon in Aquarius on January 23rd marks the emergence of the Year of the Dragon. Take what you've gathered in your domestic situation and play it dynamically for this coming year's participation. Turn your pretty purrrrrr — for sure — into a fiery RROOOAARRR! Tell me what you know about dragons… Dragons represent the powers inherent in nature. In our cultural heritage, dragons are fought with swords and dispatched, a la St. George and the Archangel Michael. In Oriental cultures, dragons have to be/are outwitted and subdued. Study dragon lore this year, and dynamically take charge of your coming karma. Start now. Gather your/any gold…

You may have time-honored home remedies around the house that can address any number of ailments. Minerals, foods, plants and herbs have been used for thousands of years. They're often inexpensive and effective; more so than the nostrums modern-day medicos push on us. If used more often, the cost of health care would be lower.
Supplements, herbals and vitamins are often recommended for eliminating or addressing common health complaints. The thing is, that often requires a special trip to the health food store and those items are so specialized, you might only use them for a singular purpose. Things like valerian root tincture for insomnia or fish oil for heart health or vitamin C for immune system fortification…

Suppose we take a little theoretical trip back to pre-technology, before cars, planes, telephones and the modern advantages of electricity. Let's say we live in the valley where our ancestors dwelt, and this little valley has answered the tribal needs of 200 or so members for all these years past, and all is good. The past has proven that our tribe of 200 or so can live and sustain itself year in and year out, with all our physical needs for survival provided. Let's say that the elders take a survey — a census — and we find that there are now actually 250 members in our tribe. These extra numbers can/will impact our tribe's chances for survival. Without…

It's the time of year when we get to make predictions. It's a fairly irresponsible task for writers because few readers go back to check and see how the pundits did in predicting this past year. Full disclosure: This writer was just ambiguous enough with 2011 predictions to fall outside the margin of error! But let's see what was "predicted" in our January, 2011 column and how we fared: "With the 2010 Food Safety Act, the demise of natural food continues." True. 2011 did indeed see heavy-handed government interference with people trying to grow or produce their own food or medicine. There were multiple armed raids on milk-producing farms and produce growers in Pennsylvania, Missouri, California (several), Minnesota, Wisconsin…

Bo Pelini was on the offensive following the Nebraska football team's final bowl practice in Lincoln. "All right, guys," he said as he approached reporters, "first of all, there's some . . ."
Clearly, he had anticipated the first question.
"The irresponsible reports out there aren't true," he said. "I have not interviewed for Penn State. And I'm not saying anything anymore on that."
The Nittany Lions are looking for a head coach to replace Joe Paterno, of course. And according to a newspaper report in Harrisburg, Pa., Pelini had talked to Penn State officials.
The report quickly spread through social media and provided the short-lived post-practice topic, as well as a back-drop of sorts…

It looks like the unlikely threesome of Katie Holmes, Kate Bosworth and Karl Lagerfeld partied the night away at the Chanel VIP party during Fashion Week in Paris this weekend. I am not sure we have ever seen these three photographed together and where is Katie's BFF, Posh?
Katie looks like she decided to wear her bathrobe to the party. Clearly Posh did not help her with this outfit. A few more pics of the threesome, so

Dear Quintain, how beautiful you are,
allowing us to paint the spacious sea or sky,
landscapes, or nights' celestial bodies beckoning from afar.
Even when my quill is running dry,
with you along, my thoughts are sure to fly!
For all I need to do
is let you slip inside, then nestle in my brain.
The pattern of rhyme required by you
is not too difficult; here I will remain
content to write with you, dear Quintain.
Your English form, so lovely, does not ask
that we adhere to meter even though
I want to dance your lines as I bask
in your sweet simple charms, and lo!
My quill has filled; my lines now start to flow!
I'll keep on going for two stanzas more
because I wish to sing
your praises! My mind is like a shore
upon which you are tumbling, glistening!
A sea of inspiration you bring.
Continue on - through poets - bringing words
that paint our world, entreating all to see
God's gifts or to enjoy the singing birds,
taste clear mountain springs, and smell the salty sea.
Continue, dear Quintain, enrapturing me.

More great poems below...
On her terrace where she once had viewed a crimson field,
she stands recalling heroes who were battling their foe.
She still can feel the terror! How her poor heart reeled
thinking of her lover fighting on the field below,
with others on that plain bathed red as the sun dipped low.
The brave men lie in caskets which now are concealed
beneath a plain that ran with blood, where bright irises now grow.
She thinks of her own strong brave man, draped in white and sealed
forever in a casket too. He was her Romeo.
The sorrow flooding her she had never thought to know.
She looks down from her terrace with a heart that won't be healed.
The mighty dead now lie in grassy fields. . . and lo!
Around the graves are swords, which are green blades revealed
with *purple flags that softly wave as a May wind starts to blow
and she is bathed in red again, there in the sun's last glow.
* Purple flags refer to the name of the purple iris that resembles a flag
Frost crisped, the lawn remained
beneath the frozen dew.
Water dripped to ice as gutters drained.
The cardinal bids the day adieu;
the winter storm has left a gelid view.

She arrives with a mystic charm
Gliding in on silver moon
With a peaceful vibe that oft disarms
As words of praise in yuletide tunes
Echo where the stars are strewn

His simple presence lights up the darkest room
A man of calm demeanour and smoothness are his ways
All the ladies turn and stare wishing he would be their groom
Such class he oozes, so many offer him an abundance of appraise
Desperately trying to get his attention and to enter his gaze.
His subtle politeness is a rarity in the fast paced society of today
A distinguish gentleman as him, is one of a kind
Surrounded by jealousy, yet he keeps the vultures at bay,
as his enemies struggle to belittle his tenacious mind
He has no serious competition, as they all get left behind
Distinguished he is, but in no means is he complete,
for he longs for a beloved who will be his one and only
To show him loyalty, love and admiration, to never cheat
Someone he could be with forever and never feel lonely
He just wants to be loved, before he becomes an old crony!

Silent One
Look up! Snowflakes appear in streetlights
Hear children cheer as snow days are announced
Watch the powder fly during snowball fights
Listen as faith through joyful hymns is pronounced
Join snow angel brigades while on wintery landscapes we pounce
Walk briskly with me through the winter woods
Where boughs of evergreens droop with white frost
Don your boots and pull up your jacket hood
Let's slide on the lake until our energies exhaust
Then trudge back home as snow drifts are crossed
Place damp clothes on a chair by the fireside
Pour a glass of wine and snuggle with me
Whispers of passion, 'neath a blanket confide
Lights from the fir tree fill our hearts with glee
As you offer me your ring on bended knee

A young man leads his girlfriend to a tree
one sultry summer eve as night is looming.
the branches of the old oak form a canopy
under which he leans in for a kiss, assuming
his new love also feels their romance blooming.
The pretty girl is innocent and shy,
but from the boy's sweet kiss she feels that he
might be her one true love; more kisses make a sigh
escape her lips. Her inhibitions flee,
and touching him arouses her curiosity.
Aglow, they feel a passion all-consuming,
undressing one another as fingers fly.
The curious moon, with incandescence blooming,
peeks down from a star-bedazzled sky.
Young love with moon above shall never die.

Romance me with English Quintains Poetry Contest
and now for A true love -poem #2 - Poetry Contest of poet destroyer A
The first time I saw you, there was a glow about you
that baffle me. I-I just could not find the right word,
"you had that certain glow about you". Not the way you walk
nor the way you move, "but I believe in miracle's", yes
I do - yes I do. So finally I step to you and ask, would you,
could you smile ? just for the camara in my mind so that the
image of an Angel would be on my mind just in case the world
ended (today) much to soon, much before time. The first time
I saw you naked Angela, my mouth got lost for words-but the one
that slip through my lip's were (mmmunn) "what a gorcious women,
breast like lucious melons", and a voice (sweet) like that of the ocean
and wave's of heat and my idea of nerviousness brings trembeling to
my feet's.
"I do believe in miracle's", "I do not believe in love". Miracle's that it
take to sustain a relationship that the odd's of longivity are against us.
And we do become desponded, most of our day is spent fussing and cussing.
Never to see true love at its best. The first time our lip's did touch, I remem-
ber this Angel who I call Angela, she had my name tattoe across her chest.
Love, became the missing attraction, and you comfort me in my desire to ex
press myself, for I thought I was so macho, never in a thousand years, "will I
meet such a someone (?) that's such a women". A women (aaaah) such a
women, "from her head to her shoe".
Now Angela just in case the world ends tomorrow. Don't denie that there's an
"attraction". O'Angela.....kiss me quickly, "In the heat of Passion".

I could bask in the warmth of virtuous ways
With a calm assurance of how it should be
As though nothing could chase these feelings away
I'll cover myself in a cloak of purity
Let the sun continue to shine down on me …
But the storms! They come with a crashing blow
Seducing me, shaking me to the core
They flood me, fill me till I overflow
Will my cries be heard … will my strength be restored?
Or will the turmoil inside me, I choose to ignore
Shall I cover my eyes to keep myself safe
And follow the rules of shouldn't and should
Shall I feign contentment as I go through my days
Being ever so thankful because life is so good
Though I know what I'm feeling is not understood …
Or should I cry out with a resentful scream!
Should I rage with the fire that's burning inside
Like thunder and lightning, start making a scene
Let pain turn to action where passion resides
Embracing those feelings that make me alive
Should I follow the sun on this path of my life
With faith to arrive at my destiny safely
Believing that I've done everything "right"
Or will I succumb to the thoughts which provoke me?
--This is the battle which rages inside me
*Not for any contest.

The Sweetest Starlight
You are the sweetest starlight shining across the ocean so pure
Moonlighting and enchanting my dreams with warmth aglow,
Touching gently my heart and soul with your beauty and wonder;
If we were together—I would hold you so gently in my arms and I
Would forever kiss your adoring lips with a passionate goodnight.
Love is a faraway queen rising in the morning sunshine's warm rays,
And your light glows brilliantly as the dewdrops glisten on my dreams
Of pure sweet surrender and kiss the very depth of my immortal soul;
You are the light of Heaven's dream of a rainbow's flight of angels
Arriving at Heaven's gate and coming to me on a beam of silver light.
Mesmerized I am as I embrace you as the heart, soul, passion and
Desire of my life—I see you as my true dream and my heart's delight;
Feeling palpably your wonderful caress as you ask me to kiss you,
And to place your ethereal lips upon my very own knowing that
My heart and soul are open now to your loving heavenly embrace.

"Anyone there?" says Magenta Madness
A tremulous knock and wicked pink grin
Insidious.....with sly silver badness
Lethal leather and his ebony sin
Dark expectations of a soul stealing win
Uninvited, his stark entrance grand
Painted pretty, his lavender Lies...
Slides her thoughts with a daring hand
Muffles her lips and mutes all her cries
He giggles, thinking her sanity dies...
"Victory!" He shouts, as white lilies fall
Precious petals careen to glass floor
He drapes his win in a purple shawl
Turning his back, not accounting for
Her dash to sane, through a splintered door

The world wants a torch
but I only wished to be a candlelight.
It gives dim light but will never scorch
Though it will never be a highlight
but it can be your hope tonight.
The world think highly of leader
but my eyes admire those who serve
Leaders may seems stronger
It is all because those who are willing to serve
Even if it will lead them to their grave
The world wants a raging water
But I only want to be in still
Does it even matter?
There is nothing more for me to fulfill
To become greater is what the world wants to instill.

Should I enhance my recognition
by defiantly treading on an innocent heart?
Or perhaps mine is a sin of omission,
fleeing with fame a la carte,
while thoughtlessly tearing another soul apart.
What reward can be found
as I stomp on another's dreams,
leaving them quaking on the ground
where incivility screams
and not one ray of light beams?
Perhaps there is more joy in obscurity
than in fame that grows from ill roots.
Before me is an angel basking in purity
besieged by destructive brutes –
wolves dressed in lambs' suits.
My soul will not let me go there –
to that place where evils dwell.
Entrust my fate to a prayer
that self-promoting acts cannot dispel
the eternal fires of an infamous hell.
*Written April 12, 2015, for Sheri's "I, Icon" challenge
When sunset comes it makes me smile
A mystic silence greets me then
The birds they sing in grandest style
I am the happiest of men
When I do spot a fairy wren.
When morning comes it gives me joy
As darkness fades, and sun shines bright
This feeling, nothing could destroy
The dawn it gives me such delight
As magpie bids the day 'goodnight'.
I love to walk down to the lake
And watch the ducks swim lazily
Sometimes a mist is in the air
Then sun shines through so hazily
As parrots screech from yonder tree
Some folk would say that I'm insane
Because I'm filled with happiness
From laughing, me I can't refrain
I love to feel life's sweet caress
The God of love my heart does bless

On the bank of the river, I watch the brown leaves drifting,
and let the current lift me, to where the sun resides
Rock rimmed, and cold, the waters ever shifting,
without a hesitation, with no reason to abide
I watch the brown leaves drifting, to where the sun resides
Somewhere down the river, the thrushes and the swallows,
fly high above the rushes, with bright, satin wings
Reeds grow in shadowed shallows, there are ducks in all the hollows
Moss is green, and willows lean, and the haloed twilight clings
There are ducks in all the hollows, with bright, satin wings
As I watch the streams meander, I can hear the seasons call
Water soothes the jagged stones, and shadowed day is done
The moon arrives, and sun declines, as if from earth, it falls
Does it melt into the river's flow, as the seams blend into one?
I can hear the seasons call, as the seams blend into one

Someone is knocking at my door
The night's cold, my world's dying and drear
It's Good Joy. Cheers! No more, no more
Oh dear, I cannot open the door for her
Sorry Joy, glide by, I'm sick and not in my gear.
Someone is knocking at my door
The night's cold, my world's dying and drear
It's Good Hope but I can't be lured.
In dark shadows I grope, what makes you come here?
I know you mock the life, glide by, I desire.
Someone is knocking at my door
The night's cold, my world's dying and drear
Oh, It's Good Health. This year you won't be ignored
Welcome, I dart my doors open for you, dear.
I do need nothing but your blessings this year.

The rain cascaded, those tiny tear drops.
Leaving a small path, on her smooth plump lips.
It was like nature pulled out all the stops.
I drank from her bounty, with thirsty sips.
Those tiny teardrops, on her smooth plump lips!
Drifting on passion, rising with the swell.
Paradise fullfilled, love's secret revealed.
As a gentleman, I can never tell.
So those details, in my heart have been sealed.
I can never tell, love's secret revealed.
We parted ways, after the morning storm.
Our tsunami, was a wonderful kind
She walked away, I admired her form.
I'll remember her, she'll stay on my mind.
After the morning storm, she'll stay on my mind!

Oh how I enjoyed the Ocean's soft mist.
When the dark waves came crashing to the shore!
That powerful moment when we first kissed.
My heart opened up and I wanted more.
I felt the stirring of love on that shore.
Like the Ocean I was drawn to you.
A lovely Siren's song you sung to me.
Our moments together they seemed so few
Were you afraid I wouldn't set you free?
I had hoped you would be happy with me.
So now I dive into the Oceans waves.
Not wanting to hear any other sound.
Remembering how we explored those caves.
That place where I thought true love had been found.
Hear waves crashing, that's my heart's breaking sound!
There is no way that anyone can know
how each new year will be:
how our jobs or our relationships might go.
What great new things might we live to see?
Might we have to endure some tragedy?
I can only hope the good will far outweigh the bad
and that our every tear
might be cried for joy instead of something sad.
May peace abide with those whom we hold dear
as all of us press onward through this year!
For the "This Year in English Quintain" - Poetry Contest of Francine Roberts
As I was busy "being"
just who I am,
I didn't care what others were seeing.
To be as they wish, would be a sham
and I will not be part of a scam.
People are really the sum
of everything that has touched their lives.
When others take issue with what you've become,
don't expect to receive high fives.
If you stay true, your uniqueness survives.
No one can tell you what to feel,
when to laugh or how to pray.
The very act of being real
will find you rising above the fray,
dispelling regrets each day.
For if you submit to playing a role
that doesn't fit your personality,
you'll dig yourself deep into a hole.
Don't succumb to others' mentality;
maintain your individuality.

For I know what the future holds for me
I face it with trepidation and great fear
Awaiting the passing of a member of my family
Other life events I'm glad I cannot foresee
I will face each new day as it comes
Will cherish each moment of time
Until to God my father succumbs
For when the mourning bell doth chime
He is with his Lord God so divine

Swimming in tears of glee
birth from water - my child I hold.
Gently, carefully I cut her free.
The skies open, rain streams of gold.
In tears of glee my child I hold.
Her mother immersed snugly
displays a glow. She flows, radiates.
I hand her our daughter our baby.
A sea of love opens the flood gates.
Our daughter our baby she flows, radiates.
Fluid are the feelings now fill me,
rushes through me like a lifeline.
We three, are now a family,
like rivers to the ocean, we combine.
Feelings now fill me, we combine.

Eve of the New Year, eyes strain to see pale depths of yonder
anticipating a fresh sky to gleam golden this year.
With said goodbyes, I awaken, reborn in wonder
of innocence held in sunlit smiles of those I hold dear
and hope to value lessons learned 'neath gracious skies swept clear.
Happiness renews in a freckle faced sky of twinkling stars
as I slow my pace to laze below her beauty and gaze in awe
of infinity, searching for miracles beyond my many scars,
and I shall live free to dance and sing, honoring God's law,
humbly glorifying Him, seeing His reflection through each flaw.
Standing tall in this new year, I resolve to be more grateful,
finding joy in each day and confidence to breathe life genuine.
The sky will change above, the earth will spin below, and faithful,
I'll take my place amid with these ideals circling within.
This year, I'll reach for sky that never falls and dream of heaven.

This Year
A brand new year began today…a new page,
First sheet of twelve to see upon the wall…
It pristinely hangs, no scribbles, signs of age,
Fresh new start…a slate wiped clean of scrawl…
Time to breathe, set new plans both big and small.
One whole year, so many days to get things done,
Lots of time, do not rush, haste does make waste…
Surely, days will pass unused and one by one,
The pages fly right off the wall replaced
By some regrets no challenges were faced.
Yet, I will see Earth's seasons come and go
And feel the surge of Spring's rebirthing rite,
The Summer sun and flowers, the Autumn glow,
Then Winter wonderland of snow so white…
This year will be another gift of life's delight.

U.S. Secretary of Transportation Mary Peters implies that federal money is wasted on cycling infrastructure.
"On PBS' 'NewsHour with Jim Lehrer' this week, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Mary Peters said that instead of raising taxes on gasoline to renew the nation's sagging infrastructure, Congress should examine its spending priorities -- including investments in bike paths and trails, which, Peters said, 'are not transportation.'"
"'Well, there's about probably some 10 percent to 20 percent of the current spending that is going to projects that really are not transportation, directly transportation-related. Some of that money is being spent on things, as I said earlier, like bike paths or trails,'" said Peters.
Thanks to Brad Aaron
Just think how much more efficient "transportation" would be if we added an extra lane to every road instead of having that out-dated sidewalk.
First of all...I hope that you are not being serious. Lets think about this, lets take away all the sidewalk and put another lane of traffic in, in every direction. Sure we can do that be we lose our sidewalks our parkways our complete ability to enjoy a walk. We make ourselves even worse off with higher speeds in streets, more car accidents and fatter Americans because we cant walk anywhere and if all that wasnt a problem already. So please all in favor of hurting ourselves more and making us fatter say "I". Oh, dont forget about the kids, lets all force our kids to walk in the street to school or even worse send them on a bus to school less then a half mile away. Then they can start the american dream sooner of becoming obese.
In this day and age, I am glad to hear the Sec. of Transportation make the bold statement that walking and biking should not be considered transportation anymore. Given the declining health and growing obesity problems in this Country, walking and biking are just too hazardous and not feasible anymore.
The next steps should be to mandate a drive-through at all commercial stores and prioritize spending to eliminate all those pesky non-automobiles forms of transportation. The Administration should also declare that our transportation policy is going to be based on the popular "head in the sand/oil is going to last forever" concept.
I woke up today in my own bed, ate breakfast in my own kitchen, and then within the half-hour somehow found myself sitting at a desk in my office a few miles away. If one moment I'm in a location miles away from where I was minutes earlier, transportation must have occurred. But because I used a bicycle, and we've established that bike paths and therefore bikes are not transportation, it might be proposed that no transportation occurred. It's a paradox that I can't explain. Can you?
because I used a bicycle, and we've established that bike paths and therefore bikes are not transportation, it might be proposed that no transportation occurred. It's a paradox that I can't explain. Can you?
Shhhhh! Be vewy vewy quiet - we don't want certain interest groups knowing there's another form of freedom besides the automobile!

Bigfoot Snowshoes ADV Adventure
Terrific customer service. Quick delivery! I ordered this set three days ago, and they showed up yesterday! I had one part of my pole that didn't lock properly, so I emailed the company, and within minutes I was emailed back about how to just tighten a screw to fix my problem. Well, I haven't got to use them yet, due to lack of snow. But so far my hubby and I are in love! Built really sturdy, and there were certainly no corners cut! All rivets are tight and the quality of the material is very good. Full review
MSR Shift
A great little shoe in firm snow, not just for kids. These shoes are sold as youth snowshoes, but they perform very nicely for adults looking for light shoes in firm snow conditions (think spring in the Rockies). MSR lists these shoes as fitting youth up to 125 lbs and up to a Men's size 7. I took a bit of a gamble and ordered up pair as I was looking for a lightweight shoe (but still wanted good traction) for spring trips where you often carry your snowshoes more than wear them, but when you need… Full review
MSR Women's Revo Ascent
MSR has created a good all-around 'shoe which uses spans from a beginner to a serious snowshoer. Its flex, fit, grip, and heel lift bar create a solid product for those who want a tough, wide ranged product. This 'shoe works really well in a casual capacity, but is easily capable of handling hilly terrain or a serious excursion of a more dynamic trip. These shoes are an excellent choice for the novitiate who wants to grow to for the more experienced outdoor adventurer who needs a reliable, sturdy,… Full review
Yukon Charlie's Men's Trail Series 825
Broke apart in less than 10 short hikes...CRAP. Used them less than 10 times and the plastic broke and the entire foot piece came out still attached to my foot. Cheap construction...going to attempt fixing them, but would never buy another pair. Even some of the plastic on the decking cracked and broke off. Full review
MSR Men's Revo Ascent
Built for climbing, but make a great all terrain snowshoe; these work well on or off trail. Great traction in most conditions including on hidden branches and other debris under the snow. Secure multi-strap bindings adjust to different boots easily. With a toe made for kicking and easy to use heel elevator these shoes live up to their name and excel at climbing but have some issues on descents due to the lack of a heel crampon. They have pretty good float and are worth considering for those hitting… Full review
Yukon Charlie's Men's Trail Series 825
These are junk. The plastic break up around the rivets the first time you wear them. I have two pair, worn one time for a 2-mile hike. We had to stop in the middle and use shoe string to tie them back together to get home. Complete and total waste of money. Don't buy or you will be sorry! Full review
Atlas Race
Toe crampon breaks easily!!! I like these snowshoes except the titanium toe cramping breaks easily. Then Atlas makes you contact the retailer to set up repair through Atlas, and then you have to pay shipping. How do they consider this a warranty? So far they have broken twice in same location, seems to be a design flaw that they don't wish to change. Very poor customer service! Full review
Dion Snowshoes 220 Back Country Frame
Excellent performance and clever modular design. I snowshoe almost every day in the winter and have used many different brands including Red Feather, Tubbs, Atlas, Crescent Moon, MSR, and an ancient pair of modified bear paws. Although I weigh 174 lbs., I almost always use snowshoes that are actually large enough to allow travel in deep snow conditions. In the relatively short time I've owned these modular Dion 220 shoes, I've been overwhelmingly impressed with their superb quality and performance,… Full review
Easton Women's Hike
The Easton Hike is a sturdy, entry-level snowshoe that is at its best on groomed or well-tracked trails. However, it does not perform as well when you travel off the beaten path into the backcountry. Easton is taking us from the baseball field into the backcountry! The Hike snowshoe is advertised as providing "…the perfect balance of traction, flotation, and comfort to accommodate longer and steeper excursions." Those who spend their snowshoeing days on groomed trails are likely to agree. Full review

Hertz spinning off its equipment rental business
The car rental company said Tuesday that it will receive about $2.5 billion in net proceeds as part of the transaction and plans to use it to pay down debt and to support a new $1 billion stock buyback.
Hertz also reported adjusted earnings for the fourth quarter that missed analysts' expectations. Its forecast for 2014 adjusted earnings was also below Street expectations.
Its shares fell in midday trading Tuesday.
The new business will be called Hertz Equipment Rental Corp. The company rents equipment such as air compressors and tools, earthmoving equipment and power generators, forklifts and material handling, pumps, and trucks and trailers. It also sells new and used equipment and its Hertz Entertainment Services unit rents lighting and related aerial products used mostly by the U.S. entertainment industry.
Hertz Equipment Rental has approximately 335 branches in the U.S., Canada, France, Spain, China, Saudi Arabia and through international franchisees. It had more than $1.5 billion in revenue in 2013.
The spinoff will leave Hertz with the Hertz, Dollar, Thrifty and Firefly rental car businesses and Donlen, which provides fleet leasing and management services. The Park Ridge, N.J.-based company has about 11,555 rental locations in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, Australia, Africa, the Middle East and New Zealand. Last year the rental car and fleet leasing business had $9.23 billion in revenue.
Its board has approved the separation plans. Mark Frissora will remain Chairman and CEO of Hertz. The equipment rental company will determine its management and board as separation plans are finalized.
Hertz Global Holdings Inc. anticipates the spinoff closing by early next year.
The new $1 billion stock repurchase program replaces a $300 million buyback announced last year. Hertz used about $87.5 million under that buyback.
Its stock slipped 40 cents, or 1.5 percent, to $26.82 in midday trading. Its shares are up 26 percent over the past year.
The company also reported its fourth-quarter and full-year financial results on Tuesday. For the three months ended Dec. 31, Hertz lost $600,000, or breakeven per share results, versus a loss of$36.8 million, or 9 cents per share, a year ago. Excluding certain items, earnings were 26 cents per share. Analysts polled by FactSet expected adjusted earnings of 32 cents per share.
Revenue rose 10 percent to $2.56 billion from $2.32 billion. Analysts expected $2.61 billion.
For the full year, Hertz earned $346.2 million, or 76 cents per share, up from $238.6 million, or 53 cents per share, a year ago. Annual revenue increased 19 percent to $10.77 billion from $9.02 billion.
Hertz foresees 2014 adjusted earnings of $1.70 to $2 per share, with revenue in a range of $11.4 billion to $11.7 billion. Wall Street anticipates earnings of $2.07 per share on revenue of $11.6 billion.

2003 Lincoln LS • 185,000 miles
On my 2003 Lincoln LS (V6) I have had to replace sections of the vacuum/hose assembly that runs from the PCV valve, around the back firewall, and up the passenger side to the front of the engine. The parts are not in inventory, so I had to build makeshift hoses/lines. Needless to say, my car runs pretty rough and when diagnosed (parts store) it mentioned the Mass Air Sensor as the problem. I honestly believe that its not breathing correctly, but the extent of my fledgling mechanical ability is coming up fast. Any ideas on what I can do or how much it will cost to get help? Thanks. Rick

When I went to the dealer I had a "Blank Check" from Capital One Auto Finance...this helped with negotiating because they treated me like a cash customer. Scion is a "no negotiation" brand, but instead of dropping the MSRP, I had them over-value my trade-in (The 2001 Hyundai Santa-Fe). KBB on the Santa Fe trade in was about $1500. I had them give me roughly $3,000 in trade to get the price down to $15,500. Moral of the story: Dealership WILL negotiate the trade value, not the MSRP.

"Late Winter," oil, 11x12 inches, by Matt Smith, who is this year's guest artist at Big Cedar Lodge's second annual Paint Out.
"Twin Sycamores," oil, 18x22 inches, by Matt Smith
If you love to create art and you love to be outdoors, get to Big Cedar Lodge south of Branson next weekend for the second annual Paint Out, a celebration of plein air painting.
Jeanie Morris, the driving force behind the event, is convinced this year will be even better than the first Paint Out -- and that's saying something, because the inaugural weekend last year was hugely successful.
"Our first one, last October, brought out 70 artists who were painting on the grounds of Big Cedar," Morris said. "We ended the event with a reception and sale, selling over $128,000 worth of art."
Scottsdale, Ariz., painter Matt Smith will be this year's guest artist, and he's excited about coming to the Ozarks for the first time to paint, present workshops and to judge this year's paintings.
"I hear it's a fun event," Smith said. "It looks like a beautiful area, and I hear the fall color ought to be good that weekend. It looks like everyone's going to have a good time."
Smith paints primarily in oil, but he welcomes artists who use other media to Paint Out. He works, he said, almost exclusively in landscape and almost exclusively by painting on site.
"It's long been known," Smith said, "that if you are going to paint convincingly, you must work from direct observation. When painting the landscape this means working outdoors."
The weekend begins early with Smith giving a demonstration of his work Wednesday night and a one-hour "quick-draw" painting competition on Oct. 13, followed by a reception.
Things kick off in earnest Oct. 14, when Paint Out participants will spend the entire day painting anywhere they wish on Big Cedar's grounds. For a nominal fee, artists can also take a shuttle to Dogwood Canyon and spend their day painting there.
That evening, there will be a night session of Paint Out, when artists will have the opportunity to paint scenes such as the moonlight reflected off Table Rock Lake. Organizers are looking forward to a nearly-full moon that night to illuminate painters as they work, and spectators and potential buyers are also invited to watch the artists as they paint.
Participants can continue to work on their art the morning of Oct. 15. That afternoon, each will be provided with an 8' x 18" space in which to display their paintings. On Oct. 16, Paint Out will wrap up with an exhibit, sale and closing reception.
Price packages vary. Space is limited, and some of Smith's workshops are already filled, so interested persons should check availability as soon as possible.
