Just wanted to pass on my sincere thanks for all you did to help us out with the bereavement trip last Saturday. Everything went really well; the timing and weather was perfect. Couldn't have been better! Also wanted to thank the captain and his crew for their compassion and attention to what we were trying to accomplish. It was apparent that the captain knew what he was doing and we couldn't have asked for better help with this. We appreciate all everyone did for us and thanks to that; the day was a major success.

Meat Him Halfway
No disrespect to the bacon cheeseburger -- but if Dad's on a health kick, what to cook for Father's Day that won't leave him hankering for a rib eye? Something about a kale salad just doesn't scream "celebration." No disrespect to the kale salad, either.
This Father's Day, give him the most precious gift of all: A healthy heart for many more years to spend with you. See smart swaps for burgers and pizza, heroes and burritos, fried chicken and meatloaf -- even a few extra-macho salads to round out the mix. We promise these riffs on classic man-food dishes won't leave him hungry. His meal may be lighter, but it needn't be less satisfying.

Okay, so it's not his Meat Lover's Special -- but you've seen Popeye, and that guy is jacked. Spinach, fresh pepper, and three delicious cheeses take this pie from wimpy to wow. Potato Pizza makes a similarly gut-busting vegetarian option. In a good way, of course.Get the Popeye Pizza Recipe

Review for Heifetz International Music Institute Inc, Staunton, VA, USA
We sent our son to the Heifetz Institute when he was 16 and 19. We felt of all his summer music camp experiences this was the best by far! He came back with a noticeable difference in his tone quality and his abilities had soared!
The faculty were amazing! It was two summers very well spent!

Lotus Ad Comparison to Corvette Filled With Inaccuracies
A recent ad from a Lotus dealer compares the Elise to four other convertible sports cars in the same class. Unfortunately for Lotus, the ad is filled with several inaccuracies, and has become a joke among enthusiasts. The Corvette Convertible, for example is listed as having a 3.2L 6 cylinder engine. Not since 1955 has there been a 6 cylinder available in the Corvette. And secondly, the Corvette's 0-60 mph time is blasphemous! 5.4 seconds! Humph. That wrong piece of data came actually came from Edmunds.com. Chevrolet lists the Corvette's 0-6 mph time at 4.2 seconds. Lastly, who would want a BMW M3 Convertible? According to this Lotus advertisement, the M3's city/highway mileage is 1/23!!
If the dealer group continues to run ads like these, Lotus might as well hire pitchman extraordinaire Joe Isuzu.

I can't match his gloomy verve, but I'll make a similar suggestion about the lesser upheaval of 2015 in Scotland. This is a country that never took to New Labour, but has suffered and enjoyed all the changes in class composition and identity to which New Labour was a reaction. And yet we've cherished our self-image as keepers of the flame. Our refrain has been: 'We didn't leave Labour, Labour left us.'
Now, in the name of Old Labour values, we've overwhelmingly elected a party that stands on almost all issues to the right of even the present Labour Party, let alone that of Donald Dewar and John Smith. The SNP is a party with a fresh, charismatic leader who appeals to all classes and who proclaims a business-friendly programme in social-democratic language. In doing this she has enabled us to at last catch up with the post-socialist world, without losing face or backing down. We had to imagine ourselves as Venezuelans, in order to become Blairites.

Later this month, on Friday 29 May I'll be reading from and talking about the poems of Iain Banks at Aberdeen University's May Festival. I'll also be signing copies of the book, which at Iain's insistence includes some poems of my own.
After that my diary is reassuringly blank until the Edinburgh Book Festival in August, which is just as well because I'm writing the second volume of a space opera trilogy, having just recently delivered the first to the tender mercies of my brilliant editor. It's all rebel robots and walking dead space mercenaries in an extrasolar posthuman conflict, and therefore something of a shift from my recent focus on the near future.
My work to date is the topic of a forthcoming seminar at Crooked Timber, where some very bright and sharp critics dissect the books and I pick over the resulting anatomical diagrams (usually to explain where what has been charitably read as a deep engagement with a significant body of rigorous thought has in fact been gleaned from, but them's the breaks.)
Update: Crooked Timber seminar posts and my response now linked to here.
Tuesday, April 14, 2015
Another, of smaller moment, was that I shame-facedly and belatedly blew the dust of decades off a couple of Ralph Miliband's best-known and most influential books: Parliamentary Socialism and The State in Capitalist Society, which had sat on my shelves unread since the 1970s. I also read or re-read some of Miliband's essays and articles, many of them published in the annual Socialist Register.
Sometimes prolix, always lucid, the essays are hard-headed, sober, nuanced. Parliamentary Socialism glints with verbal wit. The problem I find with his writing is between the lines: a presence evoked, but absent. Ralph Miliband writes as if socialism -- as theory, principles, values, programme -- is just ideally there: an always available reference, a benchmark against which the real movement falls short, and culpably. It doesn't matter what you think the real movement is. The Labour right and the Labour left, the Communist Party, the small sects, and the international analogues and affiliates of all of these are weighed in the balance, and found wanting.
In the end, of course, they all were found wanting, but that's not the point here. The point is that their inadequacies would have been better weighed in a more relevant balance: of what they set out to do and what was possible for them to do. Ralph Miliband's criticisms of the Labour Party never give full measure to its real achievements, often different from what it promised and all the more solid and lasting for that.
All his political life, Ralph Miliband found himself caught between two recognitions. One was that the Labour Party will never (if it has any sense, and it does) adopt what most socialists would deign to call a socialist programme. The other is that no group whose selling point is that it is more socialist than the Labour Party will ever get anywhere. Its vote will be derisory; or, if it isn't, it'll become a personal vehicle (e.g. Respect, with all due respect and salutes to indefatigability) or it'll fall apart (e.g. the Socialist Alliance); or (e.g. the SSP) it'll become a personal vehicle then fall apart. There are electorally more successful parties (the Greens, the SNP, Plaid Cymru and Sinn Fein) whose pitch is in many respects to the left of Labour, but none whose pitch is that they are more socialist than Labour.
The Labour Party will never be socialist, and no socialist group outside it will ever win mass support. Ralph Miliband's response to this dilemma was to craft ever more elegant and eloquent expressions of it. There are some problems with that approach to politics.
Perhaps it was recognition of them that set Ed Miliband on a path that diverged so far from his father's. I doubt he drifted or strayed. His political thinking must, at least at first, have developed in continuous, conscious contention with Ralph Miliband's. And unlike that of his brother David, it wasn't drowned in New Labour. This makes the possibility of a Miliband premiership very interesting indeed. If his party wins next month, Britain will, for the first time since Harold Wilson [*], have elected a Labour Prime Minister with a capacity for original thought.
[*] Thatcher and Brown had minds of their own too, but she wasn't Labour and he (as a Prime Minister) wasn't elected.

Here, it's rebranded itself as patriotic and pro-market, but with a social conscience and internationalist outlook that sets it apart. For a while, this works. The loss of state subsidies and guaranteed orders has long since devasted heavy industry. The Party can still call on some residual loyalty from industrial, and former industrial, workers. It can't do much for the rustbelt's wreckage, but it knows the right soothing noises and how and where to buy off discontent.
In or out of office, it retains formidable powers of patronage. Its officials reinvent themselves as business advisers. No upheaval or reform can shift its nomenklatura from their swivel chairs in the media and other institutions of 'civil society'. Their unshakeable sense that this is the natural order of things sticks in the craw.
It can't go on. Too much has changed, and too little. Streams of discontent become one river. A multitude of voices and hopes becomes one slogan, one demand. One banner, one logo, one brand, instantly recognisable, is suddenly everywhere on lamp-posts and lapels. Crowds in its colours flood the public squares.
Under that banner are many different and quite incompatible programmes and projects, disputes over which which would normally be the stuff of politics. Not here: somehow they never come into contention with each other. However freely and fervently they're expressed, they're never thrashed out. One speaker can accuse the Party of betraying its socialist roots and abandoning the working class. Another, from the same platform, can blame the Party's socialist roots for strangling the spirit of enterprise and holding the country back. Both are cheered and applauded.
The Party and its hangers-on are hurt and bewildered. Why are our natural supporters turning on us? Aren't we the party of the working class, and the real party of the nation? Weren't we the first to raise your great-grandparents to their feet, in the bad old days? Didn't we rally your grandparents to stand united against the fascist menace? Didn't we bring them the post-war reconstruction, the new industries, the free health and education services that you still enjoy? Mistakes were made -- of course! We've long since owned up to them. But even there -- didn't we take the lead in the great reforms that freed up society and made your generation what it is?
The Party still has support even in the younger adult generation, the last to benefit from its better days. Earnest and sincere, they're on the side of progress. And that's your side, isn't it? Isn't that what you really want? Don't get us wrong, we're not for the status quo! We're as much against it as you are! Only we can bring about the real change the country is crying out for. Faster, better, safer change. No need to throw out the baby with the bathwater.
Get the older hacks in their cups and the talk turns bitter. What's behind it all, eh? Reactionaries! Nationalists! Conspiracy theorists! Trotskyite wreckers! Just look at those people's ancestral heroes! Have you seen their secret police files from the 1940s? Which side were they on in the war, eh? Eh? You tell me that!
Scotland was never socialist, and Labour never ran a one-party state. But -- all proportions guarded, all caveats made -- the cliches to the contrary contain more than a grain of truth. Ask Gerry Hassan for the low-down on 'Labour Scotland' and its pervasive withered tenacious grip. Ivy on masonry can't begin to match it.
It's belatedly struck me that many features of the Yes campaign, and its post-referendum continuation in the SNP surge, come sharply into focus if you see what's going on as a colour revolution against Labour Scotland.
I know, I know. The analogy is intentionally provocative. Its limits are obvious. For one thing, the colour revolutions in Eastern Europe have mostly been driven by those who have benefited (or who expect to benefit) from greater openness to the world market, and been opposed by those who've lost out or been left behind. In Scotland, by and large, it's the other way round. And of course it's all happening without violence and in a liberal democracy.
And yet ...
What's to be done? I don't know. I was completely, utterly, embarrassingly wrong in my expectations for Scotland after No, and I could be just as wrong now. As an undisciplined irregular I have no advice to offer the Labour Party, except to say that it's as well to know what you're up against. If Labour's up against what I think it's up against, then it'll take better minds than mine to solve the problem. But the first step in solving a problem is to recognise it.
Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will, and all that.

Their concerns ranged from reforming the tax code to funding Type 1 diabetes research to solving the nation's energy needs.
At times bringing in notebooks to scrawl in and signs to wave, attendees at August's town-hall meetings with members of Congress want Washington to get along better and create more jobs. They want lawmakers to pull back regulation from energy exploration, but they also want them to ensure hydraulic fracturing is safe. They want Medicare and Social Security protected and want to feel good about the cleanliness of their water.
They had questions about why the corporate tax rate was so high, how cutting federal spending actually creates jobs and whether the government was going to face another downgrade to its credit rating.
"There is a reason we showed up here," said Sheri Frazier-Kesner, who waited in line a few Saturdays ago at a Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage in Lakewood to talk to Rep. Ed Perlmutter, a Golden Democrat, about diabetes funding. "We're still hopeful we can get our representatives and legislators to be bipartisan and get things done to take care of the country."
The questions were varied, but their plea for a solution was consistent: Washington, please do something.
In reality, as members of Congress head back east after a five-week recess, very little is likely to get accomplished this year beyond squabbles about money.
Congress will be in session 11 legislative days before the 18.4-cents-a-gallon gasoline tax expires, which leaves the highway trust fund without an income. The continuing resolution to fund the entire federal government expires this month, which means another haggle over spending cuts. A new "super committee" will start meeting regularly to try to find more than $1 trillion in spending cuts before Thanksgiving.
Meanwhile, the other problems voters care about — besides a stable economy — are caught in a lurch between politics and the sharp budget and debt-reduction deadlines.
"People are saying we've got to do something about the debt, but doggone it, it's about jobs and the economy," said Eldorado Springs Democratic Sen. Mark Udall, after talking to business owners in Fairplay last month. "They want to know what are we going to do about that?"
Despite the surprisingly high attendance at many August town halls — political scientists roundly say people ignore politics in August — polls say constituents are losing faith.
Congress' approval rating is at an all-time low — 12 percent in a recent poll — a ding at both parties after a wretched early-summer battle over raising the nation's borrowing limit.
"My grandkids could do a better job than those guys in Washington," said Aurora resident and MoveOn.org organizer Wanda Ramey. "Joining this group was the first time I'd ever done anything in my life like this."
Yet, with so many partisan battles facing lawmakers this fall, members of the Colorado delegation struggled to offer a forecast about how productive the whole body would be.
"You can't introduce a bill that says, 'We're abolishing economic uncertainty,' " said Rep. Cory Gardner, a Yuma Republican, who has pending — and tenuous — legislation to accelerate Arctic drilling near Alaska. "You have to find specific targeted policies to eliminate that uncertainty. Not everything is going to be a legislative solution."
Sen. Michael Bennet, a Denver Democrat who held more than a dozen town halls throughout Colorado in recent weeks, said work on bipartisan issues — such as the reauthorization of No Child Left Behind or the passing of a comprehensive energy policy — should continue amid toiling on debt reduction.
"It's like, in Washington, 'compromise' is a dirty word. That's exactly the opposite of what I'm hearing here," Bennet said after wrapping up a tour on the Eastern Plains on Friday. "In order to do any of this, it's going to require a fundamental change in the way people work together back there."
Were Coloradans hopeful?
"I'd like to see less incivility," said Ray Kogovsek, a former Democratic congressman and now a lobbyist in Pueblo, who showed up at an Action 22 lunch with Republican Reps. Doug Lamborn, Scott Tipton and Gardner. "But that's almost like saying, 'I believe in Santa Claus,' right?"

Troy Rises Again
OK, it may not be the lost city of Troy, though it sort-of bears its name - more on that later.
But the new Troy, taking shape where the South End meets Chinatown, may be the next best thing when it comes to Boston's booming apartment scene.
Mayor Marty Walsh and other big wigs gathered Tuesday for the topping off ceremony that put the last beam in place at the $185 million Troy Boston, set to open next year. Pre-leasing kicks off in August.
The project features a striking, 19-story high-rise connected to an 11-story mid-rise building at 55 Traveler St,, near the $500 million Ink Block now fast taking shape at the old Boston Herald site.
Rents have yet to be officially announced, but the 378 units are expected to fetch luxury rates, and we all know what that means. Thirty-eight subsidized units are included in the tally.
Troy Boston will also include 6,000 square feet of space for restaurants and other retail on the ground floor, while also featuring an array of other amenities.
Here's direct from the press release:
Chic cabanas that open out onto the outdoor pool and poolside deck provide cozy spaces for relaxation. A rooftop terrace complete with fire pits and barbeques will be great gathering spots for residents. Inside, there is a chef's kitchen and large adjoining dining area for entertaining. There is a room outfitted with a billiards table, a private yoga room, and a fitness studio with cardio and resistance equipment. Additionally, comfortable lounge areas for relaxing, or just hanging out with friends, complete the new modern classic appeal of TROY BOSTON.
After reading that, who wouldn't want to live there? Really, I am only being just a tad facetious.
As for the name, sadly it's not an ode to that city of Greek legend. Rather, Traveler Street - named after a now long defunct newspaper, rather than a long-lost city - was once named Troy.
However, that wasn't to pay homage to Homer's grand tale, but rather part of a rather odd street naming scheme dating to the 1800s which borrowed names from Upstate New York communities, including Albany and others.
Ready to live in Troy? What's your take?

KINGSPORT, Tenn.(AP) -- The mother of a 2-year-old Kingsport boy who died after climbing into a hot car while both parents napped has accepted a plea deal offered by the state.
Court papers filed Monday show that in exchange for Shannon Gibson pleading guilty to reckless endangerment, she will not be prosecuted on a reckless homicide charge.
Gibson was sentenced to 11 months and 29 days of unsupervised probation.
Authorities were called to the home in August 2005 after Shannon and Anthony Gibson found their son Parker unresponsive in the family car.
They said they put him down for a nap and then took one themselves. When they woke up, he wasn't in his bed.
Charges remain pending against Anthony Gibson.

Not too long ago, I wrote about 99-percent increase from the e-book. Amazon Kindle now pushing 99-cent games as part of a special sales.
Amazon lists 12 games as part of their sales and quickly climbed the best seller list that Kindle. As David Cassel, editor of Me and My Kindle blog, show, "Six of the 10 best-selling items in the shops now Kindle game." Mind you, some of it was just reduced from $ 1.99 to 99 cents. But oh what a dollar difference.
Here is a list of complete games a special discount. Offer ends March 27.
* Harrow
* Chess
* Sudoku Unbound
* Solitaire
* Mahjong Solitaire
* Texas Hold Em '
* New York Times Crossword Puzzle (two sets of "easy" and two sets of "difficult" puzzles)
* Butcher for Kids
Triple * Town
Any of you play on your Kindle? Any favorites? Let us know.
Kindle is getting a few games more. Amazon released three new games for the electronic reader: Triple Town, puzzle strategy game ($ 2.99), Mine Sweeper, a free puzzle game, and EA's Solitaire, a set of game cards ($ 3.99).
That brings to six the number of applications - all games - available for the Kindle now. Amazon was invited out to software developers to create applications for e-readers back in January, but the app store slowly formed Kindle. Amazon probably saving his energy for the jump is widely expected to Android app.
Amazon previously released two free word games and scrabble for the Kindle. Triple images Town (like all games Kindle is currently limited to the black-white) below:

Respawn community manager Abbie Heppe believes that Microsoft has been "smart" for altering its policies and listening to feedback on Xbox One, telling VideoGamer.com that she's "glad that they made a lot of the changes that they did".
"I see all the people who are like, 'Oh, now they're flipping. It's the Microsoft 180'. If you just want to hate them without any sort of... Then you're going to do it and you're going to continue to say like, 'Well it's a negative that they listen to fans'. I really don't want to think that that's the way the world is. I'd like to think that we can say, you know what, good for them, thanks."

A Maryland school district has bowed under pressure from Muslim community leaders, electing to remove all references to religious holidays from school calendars. But despite the intention to appease Muslim leaders, most of them believe the decision indicates insensitivity to the Muslim community.
Under pressure from the Obama administration, Minneapolis school officials want to mete out punishment based on racial quota. It's part of an effort to reduce the number of suspensions of black and Hispanic students — at all costs.
As parents and educators become increasingly vocal against Common Core State Standards (CCSS), the national movement against the federal standards continues to gain power.
Title 1, which is a federal program meant to help poor and minority children succeed in school, has been in place for 50 years, but it still hasn't helped those children.
The sincerity of the "My body, my choice" argument is again being called into question, this time by a phenomenon on college campuses whereby increasing numbers of students accept "post-birth abortion."

Liquid Heaven
A feast for my womanly inner beast!
I tease, I please, you have me on my knees
I wring my hands, you oint my head
With your fingers locked in my hair of red
You -I call Master!
Begging for forgiveness, in a position of love
My words are bashing with one stuttering sound
Moaning & Moaning,
As you make my head spin like a merry-go-round
Craving for you to unleash a liquid heaven sound
My body speaks and mumbles a language meant for you
A touch of intimacy, that lathers up like liquid glue
Sticky but, yet so compelling
My tongue slips silent beloved words of joy into the air
You play the master of this dark solid room
This dungeon's all I consume
You engage me, to provoke you with everything I got
Yelling, please master don't ever stop!
At this moment, I yearn for excitement
To feel the arousing sensation of your presence
That melts me and chill me with a flow that does not kill
I'm your thinker
Your muse and poet
You are my composer creating liquid tunes
Come here and expresses the hardness of your boldness
I confess to you my love
You are all I'm dreaming of
You drive your hands all over
Reaching every steamy spot
Encourage me to stimulate your mental needs
You are the master withholding a liquid element
In me, you release fluids that hit like a silent tide
A desire that comes with a full force of the fire inside
I crave for the taste of your lips
Your hands on my hips
Your fingers with a tight sensual grip
I dedicate my heart and my lust
To get lost within every push of your trust
Like a treasure deep underneath the sand
I'm addicted to the feelings of your command
Your hazel eyes are the sunrise
You bring out the obsession,
And my sweet tooth temptation
Like the moon above a misty night
Seducing me in every way in a poetic write
Your liquid heaven is the beginning-
-Of my delicious delight!

**A sweet Dedication To My Babe**

Poet Destroyer A
Every day, I fall in love with something new,
while maintaining the love I have already found.
I fall in love with scars, wrinkles,
redundancies and repetition,
items that people throw into the wind,
kick around and step upon.
I fall in love with my enemies,
one of life's hardest lessons to learn.
I find haters to be marvelous motivators.
Every day, I fall in love with something new,
while reinforcing the love I have already found.
The old man who sits in a rain-filled gutter,
seemingly oblivious to the water sluicing down the hill,
splashing against his clothes -
fists raised up to the heavens in fury
as he talks to an invisible audience
about how Apollo stole his dearly beloved wife....
....I fell in love with him too.
I fall in love with things that some people deem as insignificant,
ugly, morose, dirty and immoral.
The more I fall in love, the more I love each passing moment,
including the pain, torture and misery that may appear along the way.
If I write down treasonously treacherous words,
the reader could assume such words to be rooted in rage
or a cynical outlook. But the words are actually born out of love -
I love every single word in existence.
Every day, I fall in love with something new,
while still maintaining the love I have already found.
I fall in love with the woman
who is too shy to have a proper conversation with anyone,
because she believes herself to be very ugly,
when in fact, she is an exquisitely gorgeous woman.
I fall in love with broken daffodils, bent daisies,
a shattered seashell, the sweet stench of rotting seaweed on the shore,
the way her hair smells baking in the sun.
I fall in love with black and white photographs,
hypnotized by the essence the dead have left behind.
I fall in love with marbles, the feathers of mourning doves,
and with the stray cat who after watching the moving truck drive away,
slunk around the alley in search of scraps -
over the years, she has proven to be
a most respectful and loyal animal.
I fall in love with saints, villains, rusted watering cans,
the way sunlight bends into prisms when it shines
through the cracked antique windowpane
which I simply cannot find the presence to replace.
And as for the people who think that my love is a whole
different spectrum of emotions,
or how it is impossible for someone like myself
to fall in love with something new, every, single day....
....well, I love them too.

~The best poem ever~
Without saying a word I'm going to go where no one has gone before.
A twilight zone, only God and I know of.
Without saying a word I'm going to recite the best poems ever.
Poems with no vision too stare.
Quietly with a hum, only you can hear.
Silent through my mind I will walk whistling, without a care.
Feeling and thinking as my heart beat goes on.
Searching for your heart beat next to mine.
Dreaming of words that blind,
Dreaming of words which connect us together!
Without saying a word I'm going to look and speak for the first time.
Howl and feel as our chemicals sublime.
I'm going to get hungry before I die in your arms.
Through circles and rods, I carry this year alone.
Imagining all the days it was only you and I.
"Not only I!"
Without saying a word I'm going to listen for your voice to call my name.
A whisper that setting itself on repeat.
Anticipating, those look before you look away.
Wanting and waiting, I will still be whistling.
Overwhelmed by, fate at the door.
Without saying a word I'm going to, leave a whisper in the bedroom
Without making movement, with my mouth!
Control all the space, around me.
Touching the energy you left behind.
Hear the snowy winter chime.
Experience all the shelter in your hold.
Without saying a word I'm going to, lay down beside you.
Laying in a way, that feels better than freedom.
Millions of miles away, I'll still be whistling.
And waiting and waiting, for that perfect lay.
Arguing and embracing the air we both breathe.
A breath for every reason!
Without saying a word I'm going to, mime the world tonight.
Over and over, till I mime the perfect poem, like the olden days.
Without a word to say!
I'm wrapping my own arms around me, like a mime.
Explaining the breath you took without me.
Talking to myself without saying a word!
Writing the perfect poem without a word to say!
Without saying a word I'm going to, yell this inside.
Whistle and mumble till I'm out of breath.
Dying with my dreams to be by your side!
Without saying a word I'm going to, close my eyes and see your face.
A bond not even death can break.
Without saying a word I'm going to, sit here, till your wind hits.
A tap that's inspires the best poem ever.
Until then, I'm going to whistle without a word to say.
And enjoy your silhouette everyday.
Running through my mind,
Running through my veins,
A silica odor, dust walks through a fresh desert night
Cool air beneath and above the sea
A warm furnace smell, I don't understand
Intricate to rise and receive without knowing
Up ahead in a virtue distance
A mysterious poisonous effluvium light-
My face feels like a leaf'
My sun holds up its own pendulum rods
Inflammation comes and settles in for the night,
There it stands in a pertinacious manner, with quality
I resurrect this air created from madness, all over again
Twilight, rain stranger than strange
Visions, pursue my path into an infested dark pasture
"From the red Heaven I fell into the waters of a cobalt Hell"
Perhaps this venerable moment, will pass slower than slow
If I accept, and then decline
Would this balance the precocious state I live in?
How about when wrong directions follow my promiscuous ways
Is my conglomeration of ideas, no longer safe?
When I no longer value the values of the young
Will I sleep at the mercy of his ancient heart
They're the voices give and take from our health
Today, those soft, perfect eyes are calling from far away,
Ashes high, vapors and infection welding me
The bright skies swallow every thin silver line,
Where the clouds sit somehow~ in bacteria
YES UNITY! Fantabulously-fantastic!
Always, wanting more than love can touch
We are living' it up with no alibis!
A way to be and not to BE!
The champagne leaves their cup
Awaken in a life, disturbed ~ NOW INTERRUPT!
Only in this world, lava will reach her lips
Prisoners and doers;
All night…. Too late for a treatment
Lungs, decaying, evil rats
Direction, affection, ending all the inhalation
Running through my lungs,
Flat-lined my life ____/\ /\___ ___/\______/\___ _______________

Speak to me in volumes of raining sheets
Empty your blotter and write me a poem
Use your feather quill your wax seal amp
And draw me in with words upon my door
Let the beauty of what you love, be what you do
Let your emotions flow from your heart
Let your blood transform into ink
Unfold the myths of the mystic, don't be silent
Speak to me in single lines my friend
Use the power of your words to inspire
Send parables of truth and blessings
Learn my ways, and give the rose her ray
The rose's mystical petals will heal you
Steal your silence and restore your speech
Your words will become your legacy,
what once was your pain, will be your cure.

Silent One
Passing through framed windows like ours,
I recall your tales of reckless war and lost friends
that burned your innocence at 21... and though
you claimed flashes of courage, moist eyes
poured vulnerability looking calm, undaunted.
We both searched deeply into our souls
as a father is to his young daughter, that I wanted
to let you know, it was alright;
but that mound of shoulders turned away.
Down the years as officer and gentleman,
Time stole long weeks, absent from your dining chair,
leaving me resentful and bitter on hardened sills
until you arrive under crawling dock of stars.
But in free moments, how you cherished
me so; waking my cheeks at 3 am to race the winds,
to fly with a shooting neon, laughing with a blue moon.
You spoke of faith and honor if life dared a shame, oh
mild scent of your arms cuddling my girlish dreams...
until off you rode suddenly on heaven's wheel.
I see you through all framed windows like ours,
that even if my iced breaths needed you more
as small flowers thirsted for rain, my anger was a cry
for love's company... " I have adored you
in moments of distance and nearness, if not
always, then for all eternity."
Have I forgotten to open this, my soft, broken sigh?
Dad, everything is all right.

With my brightened lens, I watch you
mystically zooming in zooming out,
and my eyes focus on the shutter where
a hundred gulls flap a brief moment: carefully,
I seize the image, almost lost in transition
as my radiant stanzas etch
the language of your distinct angles.
Following your trail, I chance upon
a lattice of bluebells knighting the glittered vines
sprawled on canes of pine wood…
and with your waist curled, the singular charm
of this moment grabs my line of phrases:
flowers posing without shame, beautiful like
summer 's shape...and I watch you romp
in the blur of rain clicking on a Kodak chrome,
while my full-blown quill explodes with the glory
of your animated snapshots. My dear,
In this symbiotic flow where poetry and visual arts
understand the hidden beauty of the world,
shall this my verse meld with your golden landscape?
Carol Eastman's The Doesn't fit Contest
His poems live deep down in the wood
down in an olde hunting lodge
They are brown as the bears head that
hangs on the wall
brown as the dark leaves that fall
silently hiding the salt lick
from fawns who come in
the twilight to call
His poetry growls and grumbles and purrs
like a cougar alone on the rim
of the canyon above the olde
hunting grounds
where he writes all his lines
like a hymn
His poems stretch out on the furs
by the fire
and tell of the storms and the waves
that tested the strength of the words
that inspire
and sent many songs to their graves
for brave are the sagas
the odes that survive
the trek through the woods to the town
and as we go home we gather them up
scattered like leaves on the ground.
Brown,yellow,red ,a few of them green
His poems are places and things we have seen
but not from the view that the truth hunter gives
deep down in the woods ,where poetry lives

This song is for my mother
Let her hear me cry
I couldn't bring myself to write it
'Til this darkened day arrived
A song about old promises
Made so long ago
Created and cremated
Ashes of the words I spoke
Long separated by the miles
Distanced from her golden smiles
Memory of a mother
Shared my dreams and really cared
Long separated by the miles
Distanced from her golden smiles
I know I wasn't there……
For you
Would have placed
A magic carpet
'neath your weak and shaky legs
Would have raised
A strong west wind
Let you breathe with ease again
Would have bribed
God's venal angels
Come and soothe your endless pain
Would have vanquished
All the demons
And bring peace to you again
Be the child
I never knew
In a land
We won't grow old
Be the light
I always loved
Warmed my dark
And lonely soul
Be the girl
Playing games
In a world
The sun won't set
Be the laughter
Calms my heart
I never will forget
I won't forget, won't forget
This song is for my mother
Let her hear me cry
Couldn't bring myself to write it
'Til this darkened day arrived
Song about old promises
Made so long ago
Ashes of the words I spoke
I broke my promises, oh mama
Now you've gone away
I'm broken
Drowning in the pain each day
I'm drowning…drowning...drowning…drowning
This song is for my mother
Let her hear me…….

like visitors from outer space
they came with tears, and lined the sidewalk
long in face, and arms embracing
some (I have no inkling) who
they were or why they felt compelled to come
dozens came with casseroles
a few with flowers, wads of tissues
tender words of helpless mutterings
many acts of generous offerings
don't get me wrong, I watched the suffering
expressed in words or acts of kindness
I watched it all, and felt the love
did not dismiss the warm compassion
returned it all, with pure compliance
a thankful heart, a swollen throat
I hugged these strangers at the door
to comfort them, who shed their tears
upon my shoulder, offered them
a place to share their sympathies
a place to spend their mercy, pure
but, this was my child who loved and lost
impossible........I can't express it
protected from the very start, by
loving hands, her dad's and mine,
we watched her grow, and let her go
she grew from the vine ....into a rose
but life composed a tragedy, with goals
beyond our reach...beyond belief
beyond our wildest dreams
and left her with a loss beyond control
like visitors from outer space, we watch
as others come, and others go
they blow into their tissue wads
and empty the boxes one by one
and cry with us, and then they all go home...
do we cry........? Oh no, not yet...
instead we smile a grateful smile
and thank them kindly for the while
and for the ways they share their love
but we can't cry into our own clenched wad
of tissue from the tissue box
she needs us to be strong, somehow
and so that is the way it is, we vow...to hold back all the tears for now
for, this was my child who loved and lost
impossible........I can't express it

"Yes, then I am filled with hate," she replied.
"You need to let it go. I know....I used to be filled with cold hatred.
Let it go. People can violate your body,
but it doesn't mean your soul is also violated -
not always.
Your body is only on loan anyway.
The soul is truly yours."
We moved even further away from the music and lights,
until we eventually found ourselves outside.
The sleet had stopped falling,
and amongst a crowd of pigeons sitting on a wire,
a Raven was perched on a buzzing halogen lamp.
Clouds broke apart, exposing a crescent moon hanging from a winking star
like a Christmas ornament, or an earring of night herself.
Not fixed, but dangling,
always moving and changing.
"Breathe in deeply. Focus in on the star,
pretend that you are casting your eyes up to the moon like a fishing line.
Begin reeling in your mind."
"Seems like a silly game to me."
"Please try it."
The Raven was watching us from its perch.
I breathed in and out deeply,
opening up my lungs and heart to the sky.
I turned to her and asked,
"Do you feel hate coming from the Raven perched over there?"
"No, not that I can tell."
"Remember. You can still become someone's Queen.
People can violate your body, but your soul can stay intact.
Even if you doubt it right now."
She pulled out some napkins from her purse,
handed them to me, and asked, "Will you write it down for me?"
-And so I did-

Tell me a tale of humanity
Paint me the love of your life
Show me a path to humility
How a man should honour his wife.
Help children believe in magicness
Describe the warmth of a smile
Feelings invoked by happiness
A tree that's been watching a while.
Explain the pain of solitude
Gift me the smell of a flower
Tease me with dreams of magnitude
Sights that are seen from a tower.
Convey the sound that a river makes
Define your fear of the dark
Textures and tastes of a freshly cut steak
A walk with your child in the park.
Interpret the touch that a lover leaves
Recount the flaws of your youth
Depict a man with his heart on his sleeve
Confront and search out the truth.
Weave me a yarn with your poetry
Spin me with poetic release
Take me away with ingenuity
Fill my mind and my soul with your peace.

Sometimes, life has no reason unlike the seasons
It aimlessly drifts with the wind
We find ourselves in places of unfamiliar faces
Bathing in the shadows of sin
Our souls become lost up in the holocaust
That once was a beautiful life
Like a ship drifting upon the tide we bang and then we ride
The white horse straight into death
Into a giant black hole we dive in with our soul
Until we have nothing left
We then fall prey to our host who spreads butter on our toast
Our habits take over our lives
Everything we hold dear falls with one last tear
Into the darkness of night
Tired and defeated all our hope is depleted
Because we have nothing left to lose
Sometimes the storm passes as slow as molasses
Left frozen somewhere in the snow
Then our red eyes run dry with no tears left to cry
As we admit, I'd rather be dead
If you have a desire to live right, please take heed of my plight
And know that it's never to late
Soon as you give it away find your knees and pray
You will find the comfort of home
And all of the disgrace will fall off of your face
Like the leaves that fall off the tree
And just like the bare tree soon you will see
Life is reborn in the spring
Like a warm days cool breeze, God fills us with his ease
And through him we find some peace
One day at time the trials all unwind
As the jigsaw falls into place
As everything gets better we become one with the weather
And the seasons suddenly become our friend
Our lives suddenly fly past, because we want to make them last
Like an ice-cream on a really hot day
We are overcome with the obligation to tell of our salvation
Remembering all of those left behind
Some will find their way, others all we can say
Is Lord, we truly did our best
Dear Lord we write for your glory, telling our stories
That we would rather keep hid on the shelf
Our desire is to aspire so we can rise ever higher
With the words that flow though our pen
Giving of ourselves becomes our greatest wealth
As our souls become one with the Son
No high could be higher than faith and desire
Knowing we have been born again
One day we will stand before the gates that shall open to our fate
As heaven welcomes us in
We will look down on this earth, spirits of a new birth
Watching over the seeds that we spread
Knowing their lives were made better, because we were able to weather
The storm that raged through night
Until the day I become shadows and dust I'll forever trust
The words that flow through my pen

~Do Not Trust a Word, He Says~
He speaks of sunken treasures the way no other man
The map of his essence is drawn in the stars
His smile of gold ride out the waves
The moon is pulled by the prestige of his masculine art
With great pleasure, your heart now sits in a glass case
His love lavishes making every moment memorable
This gentleman cultivates you from every direction
Your blood rises to his flirtatious ego
His eyes, manipulate you, invade every dream,
Endless lust, pulled by the enigma of dragon dust wind
Falling flowers of forgetfulness, when lost in his touch
He endures, he breathes in ways you can't resist
Uttered words easily wrap around your heart
In a game of trust, his lips persuade another kiss
Like a syndrome, you babble and drool ---- stepping all over yourself
You are naught more than a fool in love,
Trusting and believing every golden word spoken from his lip
( A Poet Destroyer Collection)
On the
Mussetle Train
I go
s l o w l y. . . going
Where can
I take this train,
pray tell?
are needed for
this trip!
on words, I run
off course
Of course,
I can get back
on track
But tracks
for this train are
not wide
Good width
would help me move
The best
I can do is
stop now!
for the Mussetle Train - Poetry Contest
Sorry for the train wreck, Richard!!

Momentary lapses of shyness
within pretentiousness the size of a non-la-hat
offering shade from your sweltering Sun,
confused the boy still residing beneath an exterior
of brashness. A wooing of rose or lotus petals?
Did she not enjoy such frivolity? Wot of a bard
letting words slide through the air like silk,
for I didn't possess such romantic poetry.
No, I embarked upon a journey of false-heroism,
took a bullet, figured it to shape me into a man.
I showed off the wound, blood soaking through the bandages -
you seemed far from impressed by this display of stupidity.
Yet you played coy,
bending over, letting sunlight play through a thin summer dress,
highlighting inner thighs, lines arching up into a dome of dizzy-delirium
so sensual it almost appeared sinful.
At night you'd undress before a naked window,
letting shadows flirt across moonlit dew.
It was all I could do to keep eyes averted,
instead, living on dreams of unwrapping gifts
under the influence of feverish waves,
even though I never forgot to take quinine.
And after all the games,
I had only to stay still long enough for you to complete another sketch,
take its lines, breathe together a new poem,
unleashing torrents of words into my ear.
A funny sort of unconventional, tactile courtship.
You wanted me to listen, to test my patience,
and once your head was emptied out,
heat arose from the bloom, enveloping me in soft petals,
vanquishing my fever, with a different feverish embrace.
Your eyes almost felled me with their complexities
of virginal innocence and a whorish lust. The thrusts,
lips and fingers, the blended push-pull of rhythm and wild abandon
caused me to lose myself long enough,
to find your soul drifting alongside my own,
amongst the stars that had always been shining.
Amongst the light already written before our birth.

I will not read those things which bring me pain
the words that chase the sun and bring the rain
I will not read the words that steal delight
That lead me down from day to darkest night
I will not read the words that are not true
That rob me of my faith and make me blue
I will not read the words dressed in disguise
that bring unbidden tears to soulful eyes
I will not read the words that seem to be
An altered state of my reality
I will not read the words that bring me down
that chase away my smile and bring a frown
I'll read and taste and savor words of love
And soar on wings of words to heights above

Today I conceived myself as a poet for the first time,
and not because of employable meter, rhyme, and flow -
I will leave such devices for the wordsmiths and Masters.
And not because I can write poetry....what I do,
should be labelled as something else entirely -
not as poetry.
I am an organic recorder, filing away bits and pieces of zeitgeist,
without rhyme or reason,
almost as if ghosts are guiding my hand across the paper,
and I really don't have much say in the matter.
I am a stranger in a crowded world,
a stranger amongst people I have known for years,
not quite fitting in anywhere, but being in all places at once.
I write the words down, they in turn speak to me.
A clear, mutual agreement -
the smell and feel of new paper,
the liquid, brashness of ink as it penetrates the virgin whiteness
of so many possible observations, opinions and stories.
The words know me intimately.
We aren't strangers.
The reality of vowels and consonants is where I truly fit.
I was moving through a crowd of familiar faces -
a familiar feeling of strangeness and alienation,
when I came across a Persian face I had never seen before.
A real stranger.
Not one I have known for years.
She mentioned not being into sex,
how she only wanted to talk about things she couldn't mention to friends -
her mind felt as if it was floating by the moon
and she wasn't sure how to reel it back into her skull again.
I told her not to worry, sex isn't the only thing on my brain.
She said that sex was the only thing on her brain;
but in a different way.
She explained how she had been kidnapped in Iran,
imprisoned as a sex-slave,
repeatedly raped by rich business men who wore wedding bands.
I asked if she was filled with hate.
She wasn't quite sure.
"What does hate feel like?"
"Well, it shouldn't be mistaken for rage, anger or frustration.
Those emotions are red hot to the touch.
Hate is a cold thing.
Like a Raven perched on the railing of a bridge,
sleet bouncing off its feathers,
not caring to fly away even though cars are barrelling past,
flinging up dirty, February slush.
There is nowhere left to fly to.
The trees are all cut down,
dumpsters have tight lids,
for some reason the fish are all belly-up in the river below,
dead from some mysterious reason.
Its stomach aching from hunger,
the Raven smells the reason for all of this death
emanate from the strange looking beasts walking and driving past.
It is all their fault -
they are the poison behind it all.
This is hate."
If I had those pretentious brains which act faster than this heart
maybe then I would abhore this soul which spreads freely through each verse
maybe then I would impress you with my intellectual grammar and sophisticated words
maybe then I would scrutinize my each and every coma,dot and exclamationmark!
But I would never let that happen,I'd rather go away.
Writing with my mind and not my heart leads only to asylum within the being of myself.
Poetry is my voice,my life,my escape,my each emotion stored,processed in a yesterday
breathing softly in fresh air,wanting to explode in death, love,passion and romance.
Each verse, a thought I'm able to scribe of yet unable to express through spoken words.
Maybe in a tomorrow you might pass by ,tread your footstep on my verse
but maybe in a today,a broken-hearted fool stops by to find comfort in my world
Maybe a prisoner, an insane man,a tramp ,or any outcast to society
would pick these shattered pieces and gather them as whole
and maybe through this scribbled cross-word puzzle finds God'love once again.
Maybe a little child who understands only little words
would turn the pages of silly rhymes i penned
rhymes which speak of moon and stars,angels,dreams and faries
and maybe He would smile, maybe He would laugh
Maybe he would dream ,the way i used to dream
and maybe He would write the most eloquent sonnet
or maybe just simple words about blossoming flowers
And maybe then,my mission is accomplished,and maybe I feel blessed.

I am going to see the Dead Sea
(and cube the C),
float on its sacred chemistry,
heal my knuckles that I split open
on the displacement of your honour's face.
It isn't about race,
but the distrust of your pseudo-religious ideologies,
of your false, luna.tick profit.cies
and charters of genocidal tendencies.
I have since learned how violence only begets violence,
so how are we going to co-exist?
Mr. Jihad, I offer to you my hypocrisy,
my double-edged blade of mutations
forged in the land of the Rising Sun
(the Lions of Judah are on the prowl,
it's time for a head check, here they come).
Mr. Jihad, I will not submit to your misinterpretations of Valhalla,
I will not submit to your dajalla,
to your Anti-Christ, death-cult messiah.
Mr. Jihad, a dog's behind is cleaner than your mouth
which spews-out adoration for Hitler,
who would have gassed you too (a dunce cap for you) --
always remember your roots,
you should have dropped the book instead of bombs,
worked alongside the Jew,
your fellow descendants of the Abrahamic DNA brew.
You should work together to purge the true enemy of humanity,
the beast within, instead of passing on blame,
manifesting yourself into a monstrosity that feeds upon obscenity,
who institutionalizes pedophilia, peddling child porno stars.
Mr. Jihad, your 72 virgins are burly, hairy prison inmates
caught in the cell of the hell burning down your mind.
No matter how much peace I may find,
no matter how much of my hate I am able to dissipate,
no matter wot you attempt to do to me,
my soul, my heart and blood
will not ever submit to your misinterpretations of Valhalla
that were re-arranged and twisted into a deranged version of al-allah.
Mr. Jihad, I will not ever submit to your Anti-Christ, death-cult dajalla.
This is myth-oh-logical.
I incorporated some rhyme because I figured that the infantile nature of rhyme
lends towards the theme of prejudice and reactionism.
Please don't attempt any supposed explanations concerning jihad.
I don't enjoy ignorance or smoke and mirrors.
This is between Mr. Jihad and I.
Death before dishonour.
Only surrender to love.
Oh excrement!...
I rest my case!

I am the ring around Saturn
spinning words as particles of ice and dust
with the power to transcend
I am the original chosen to be right here right now
transmitting verbal frequencies
through speaking my thoughts into existence
I am the heir of omnipotence,
born with a direct connection to profound abundance
The one whose words will age, yet still have substance;
since there are no boundaries attached to my pen
I am constant energy
Translating personal experience into imagery
Vulnerable to tyranny,
yet i continue attempting to share some truth
through this abstract language of poetry
I am the core
I am that I am more
I am the Divine Presence that is the Source of my rewards
I am the green you get when you mix too much yellow with the blue
That shade of gold you get when the sun resides into darkness
and when it ascends in the dawn burning dew
I am the transition between the third and fourth dimension of time;
the love you feel when you realize how it feels
I am the poem that is abstractly direct
because I write beyond limits
absorbing frequencies from 3 to 8 hertz
through meditation for several minutes
I am the one bridging the gap between
the analog ascension and the direct connection to spirit
The one who is love
because I am a descendent of it
I am the rhythm that the wind blows
I am the beginning and the ending of stories told
about the universe and how miracles unfold
I hold the power to accept judgement from those who will do just that
Not knowing that I am them in the absolute reality of me
Judge that
I am knowledge beyond measure because that is my right
So I continue meeting the different parts of me
when I meditate and write
Who am I?

humble b
There's a river that twists in the mind
that I plunder and ravish with sieves,
on crusades to the summit of rhyme
where my Phoenix of tropes and schemes live.
In a war to free diction's fair Queen
where the Soldiers of Babel bemuse
and the modern day graceless regimes
are in battles to stifle my muse!
In my quest for her verse of prestige
I have traveled a nexus of words
with this Lexis of language on siege;
where the dissonant hum drum is heard!
Oh, the poise of my bayonet firm
as I pin down my thoughts in a rush!
Oh, the will of the language it squirms
as her essence of glory I brush!
She's the Queen Muse that whispers within
as she watches me battle with style,
she supplies me the yarn that I spin
as she lends me her rhythm awhile.
It's the moment her Highness is freed
that the Armies of Dissonance fall
and the sound of Perfection can bleed
in those lyrical sounds that enthrall!

I am but a dreamer
and in my dreams I play
where I live so happily
writing them my way
inside my illusions
where I know I belong
whistling a joyful tune
as I go along
Like a little spirit
I venture on the breeze
skipping in the gentle wind
doing what I please
with the rising sun I dance
wrapped inside his charms
across the golden morning sky
twirling in his arms
I can climb a mountain
or live among the trees
sail in a silver sailboat
on the seven seas
I can draw a moonlit night
ride on a bright moonbeam
and swim among the diamonds
in a velvet stream
I am but a dreamer
there's nothing in my way
living in the place I love
loving everyday
maybe it's a fairytale
but that's all right by me
I'm the master of my dreams
where I wander free
No one there can tell me
what is wrong or right
following what's in my heart
I live in the light
happy in my dream world
that's where I choose to stay
in the world where I belong
writing dreams my way

I can't believe that I only just realized that you of course also did Poor Richards, ( I should have recognized the drawing style, and probably did, subconsciously) which I have always loved. But not as much as cul-de-sac, and Alice. Just brilliant.

Hey guys sorry I didn't search, but I need a quick answer and sifting through search results usually takes me longer than just asking a simple question.
I have a cup and cone, loose ball, BB with a square taper campy spindle on my peugeot fixie conversion. Bulletproof bmx cranks (budget reasons).
What is the proper tightening torque for the crank bolts? The cranks just started to get a tiny bit loose, hopefully I caught it before the cranks have been irreperably damaged. I originally tightened the bolts as tight as I could get them with a 3/8" drive wratchet wrench, but I'm guessing that's not tight enough. I have a 1/2" drive torque wrench. What's the proper torque to use this time?
