I just wanted to try the rose swirl since everyone else had done it. It was really easy and it looks so much more impressive! 10 inch Chocolate WASC with my chocolate mousse filling (see my recipe on cc). Also, I am finding that as I continue to practice my torting, stacking and filling I am getting better at it. It is true that practice does help!

my mare that is sadly missed
hi these are some pics of my fabby mare that has just passed away :(
miss her sososo much!!!
awww thats so sad... she was beautiful though... how old was she?
Oh that sad, what happen.. She was very pretty ....
she was 18 but everyone that meet her would disagree
i had a phone call one morning asking if they can have th number for the vet as chardonnay has had a fit but they didn't want me down the yard as it would upset me, i turned up at the yard being meet at the gate and told that she has gone nothing that anyone could have done, turns out she had a heart attack and not a fit.
awww thats sooo sad
Oh no.. :(
aww..she was so beautiful. i'm sorry! D: *hugs*
I'm so sorry. She was beautiful.
i know how you feel i lost 2 horses due to old age and 1 due to a heart attack. The first one that died was a 30 years old black Quarter/morgan mare named Beauty, she had 3 white socks and a blaze, I showed her in gaming events but she had high and low ringbone on her back anckles so every now and then they would lock up, but she was a sweet heart I had her for about 9 years. Then next one was a bay OTTB gelding named Herbie he was a sweet boy every time I whent out to the barn he would come a greet me and he whanted to be ridden all the time I had him for 4 months. The las one was my 25 year old bay Quarter horse mare she was a good horse she all did gaming but she whent down hill after Beauty died, for the logest time she would go to the corners of the pasture and look out to see if Beauty was comeing back so she lost weight like crazzy then she got a bad bloody nose and I whent out one morning with my dad and i found her dead in her stall. I have a picture of Molly but I have pictures of the other 2 but Ihave to get them off my dads pc.
That picture is me with molly last year. I was mad becuse i did not whant a pic taken. she was starting to loose her muscle tone last year. when i first got her she had a huge rearend .

UCLA study yields more accurate data on thousands of years of climate change
Research also helps unravel the mystery of retreating glaciers in the Pacific Ocean's western tropics
By Karen A. Lefkowitz
March 13, 2014
Category: Research
Using a cutting-edge research technique, UCLA researchers have reconstructed the temperature history of a region that plays a major role in determining climate around the world.
The findings, published online Feb. 27 in the journal Nature Geoscience, will help inform scientists about the processes influencing global warming in the western tropical Pacific Ocean.
The study analyzes how much temperatures have increased in the region near Indonesia, and how ocean temperatures affect nearby tropical glaciers in Papua New Guinea and Borneo. Researchers also evaluated the accuracy of existing climate model predictions for that region. The findings illustrate that the region is very sensitive to climate change and that it has warmed considerably over the last 20,000 years, since the last ice age.
The team chose the specific area examined in the study because it is Earth's warmest open ocean region and a primary source of heat and water vapor to the atmosphere. As a result, temperature changes there can influence climate not just regionally, but globally.
"The tropical Pacific ocean-atmosphere system has been called a sleeping dragon because of how it can influence climate elsewhere," said lead author Aradhna Tripati, a UCLA assistant professor in the departments of Earth, planetary and space sciences, and atmospheric and oceanic sciences.
Tripati and her team used a technique known as clumped isotope thermometry, which examines the calcium carbonate shells of marine plankton for subtle differences in the amounts of carbon-13 and oxygen-18 they contain. The researchers analyzed extensive modern and geological datasets, conducted theoretical calculations and examined climate model output. The group discovered that temperatures have changed by about 8 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit (4 to 5 degrees Celsius) over that span — more than scientists had previously thought, and more than most models have estimated.
"Most global climate models underestimate the average temperature variations that the region has experienced," Tripati said, adding that the other models' simulations may be incomplete or the models are not sensitive enough.
The UCLA team's conclusions about temperature changes in the region also imply that there have been major fluctuations in the volume of water vapor in the atmosphere there.
As part of the study, Tripati and her colleagues also investigated what sets the past and present height of glaciers in the tropics, and why they have been retreating. To accurately estimate the height of tropical glaciers and average temperatures at altitude in this region, they found that atmospheric mixing, through a process known as entrainment, needs to be factored in.
"We found that the large amount of ocean warming goes a long way to explaining why glaciers have retreated so much," said Tripati, a faculty member in the College of Letters and Science and a member of UCLA's Institute of the Environment and Sustainability. "Throughout the region, they have retreated by close to a kilometer since the last ice age, and are predicted to disappear in the next one to three decades. Previously understanding this large-scale glacial retreat has been a puzzle. Our results help resolve this problem."
Among the implications of the study are that ocean temperatures in this area may be more sensitive to changes in greenhouse gas levels than previously thought and that scientists should be factoring entrainment into their models for predicting future climate change.
The group has already begun a follow-up study, looking at sediment from Indonesia's Lake Towuti to develop data that can be used to further improve models of climate and water cycling for the region. Researchers will also look at other places in the tropics, the Western U.S. and China.
Co-authors of the study are Sandeep Sahany, postdoctoral researcher in the department of atmospheric and oceanic sciences, Dustin Pittman, graduate student in the department of atmospheric and oceanic sciences, Robert Eagle, assistant researcher in the department of Earth, planetary and space sciences, Jonathan Mitchell, assistant professor in the departments of Earth, planetary and space sciences and of atmospheric and oceanic sciences, J. David Neelin, professor in the department of atmospheric and oceanic sciences and Luc Beaufort, a research scientist at the Center for Research and Teaching of Environmental Geosciences in Aix-en-Provence, France.
The research was supported primarily by the National Science Foundation.
UCLA is California's largest university, with an enrollment of more than 40,000 undergraduate and graduate students. The UCLA College of Letters and Science and the university's 11 professional schools feature renowned faculty and offer 337 degree programs and majors. UCLA is a national and international leader in the breadth and quality of its academic, research, health care, cultural, continuing education and athletic programs. Seven alumni and six faculty have been awarded the Nobel Prize.

So... I admit it. I'm in love with my best friend. He's... seriously, perfect in my eyes. His best friends [also my best friends] have talked to him... and they say that he likes me, and is thinking about asking me out [we went out once before for a month, but we had just met eachother, jumped the gun, and didn't know anythinggg about eachother, so it was awkward... like dating a stranger, but then we broke up with each other, and have been best friends ever since.]. Then, they said that he doesn't know if he wants to ask me out because he feels like we have more fun as best friends. Because he feels like when we're dating, he can't do certain things around me, and he said he'd always feel like he has to make me happy, or impress me. Seriously... I could punch him in his [gorgeous.. haha] face for saying that though... I mean really. He makes me happy.. by existing, hahahaha. And.. we're best friends, nothing would change between us.. except that technically we're a couple.. of best friendness, that happen to kiss and do other relationship stuff, lol. I just know we both like eachother, and... I have no idea where MY boundaries with him are because of this.
I just have no idea what to do. I want to talk to him about it, but... I don't want to seem like I'm nagging or anything.
I just wish he'd stop being stupid, and realise for once that I like him for who he is, and just because we date, doesn't mean he has to change, or become some amazing boyfriend figure. He's amazing just the way he is, and he could do less than he already does, and he'd still make me just as happy. I just wish he'd realise this, and stop thinking about it so much, and just friggen DO IT.
Anyone else ever had this problem? Haha.

Slick motorized GoPro stabilizer is ready to get wet
- Ben Coxworth
- August 18, 2015
Although the GoPro Hero's wide-angle lens already does a good job at smoothing footage out, some shakes do still make it through when shooting particularly "bumpy" activities. There are plenty of counterweight-style devices to help in that regard, along with a few motorized stabilizing rigs and the new Slick stabilizer falls into the latter family. It fits all GoPro models with their waterproof housing, plus it's waterproof itself.Read More

Boston, MA (SportsNetwork.com) - Milan Lucic's breakaway goal with 48.6 seconds remaining in overtime lifted the Boston Bruins to a fourth straight victory, a 3-2 decision over the Columbus Blue Jackets at TD Garden.
Chad Johnson helped extend Boston's streak with a sharp 32-save effort between the pipes, with Loui Eriksson and Shawn Thornton collecting goals in regulation for the Bruins.
Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 28 shots in the loss, the seventh in eight games and sixth in a row on the road for the Blue Jackets. Blake Comeau and Nick Foligno accounted for the lone Columbus goals.
"It's still an empty feeling, said Columbus head coach Todd Richards about earning a point. "There were a lot of good things in the third period, but it's still the result. You know, we need to win games and we need two points here, not just one."
Following a scoreless third period that carried over into the initial four minutes of overtime, Lucic prevented the game from entering a shootout with an outstanding defensive play in his own zone. The physical forward blocked a shot attempt by the Blue Jackets' Cam Atkinson, then cradled the loose puck and raced down the ice uncontested before sliding a shot between Bobrovsky's pads for the clincher.
"When I saw him go on a breakaway, I put my head down and I was like 'Oh, please score,' because these are points we need," said Johnson. "There's always teams you think you should get points off of, and we really wanted to get the two points tonight."
Boston was able to send the contest into extra time largely behind Johnson, who was up to the task when Columbus outshot the Bruins by a 9-2 count while dominating the first 10 minutes of the third period. Boston also killed off an interference penalty to Brad Marchand with 7:24 left to preserve the 2-2 deadlock.
"He made some huge saves in the third and kept us in it," said Marchand of Johnson. "He did a great job today."
Columbus opened the scoring with 7:12 left in the first period, when Mark Letestu beat Bruins defenseman Dougie Hamilton to the puck deep in the Boston zone and sent a no-look drop pass that Comeau buried while left all alone in front.
Zdeno Chara's long drive from near the blue line that deflected off Eriksson's left skate and in knotted the score with 1:50 remaining in the opening session, and the Bruins moved ahead midway through the second period.
Taking in a feed from Gregory Campbell, Thornton wound up and fired a shot from the right wing that caromed off Columbus' Jack Johnson and sailed over Bobrovsky's shoulder for his second goal of the season.
Foligno, who had missed three of the Jackets' last four games while tending to a family matter, pulled his team even by following up his own rebound with a successful backhand attempt 3:26 prior to the second intermission.
After holding Columbus to an 0-for-4 night on the power play, the Bruins have
now killed off 26 straight penalties dating back to ct. 30 at Pittsburgh ...
Boston defenseman Torey Krug assisted on Thornton's goal to extend his point
streak to five games ... Letestu skated in his 200th NHL game ... Boston has
now won the last five meetings between the new Eastern Conference cohorts,
including a 3-1 verdict in Columbus on Oct. 12.
Pope Francis' visit to Philadelphia in September has altered the date of the Penn-Villanova football game.
Kyle Busch won Sunday's road course race in Sonoma, California, but he still has a long way to go to become eligible for a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
NFL players have a very short shelf life to make significant amounts of money so it's tough to fault anyone who has outperformed a contract when they go knocking on the door to ask for more.
Pete Mackanin will remain interim manager of the Philadelphia Phillies for the remainder of the season, the team announced Tuesday.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have reportedly retained restricted free agent forward Kyle Singler with a five-year contract extension.
The Detroit Red Wings signed veteran forward Brad Richards a one-year contract on Wednesday.

It will hurt like a tattoo guns sting
as the ink infiltrates your skin.
Your first love will be like a tattoo on your heart,
buried deep,
always remembering the blessings and pain he gave you.
Be with a person who fills you with fluttering hummingbirds
even after the first and second and tenth kiss
who drinks the nectar of your demons and sucks them lifeless.
There will be men who you think will carry you forever
but after so long of holding
your feet above the water
they will throw you down.
They will not reach out a hand to pick you back up.
They will turn cheek,
kissless and forgotton.
You will stand with dirt palms
and fall back into his inferno.
There will be loves like this,
who convince you to prick yourself with safety pins,
the ones who carry guns on their backs
but never shoot to protect,
only to hurt.
The ones who drink all the water,
leave you parched in the desert of his mistakes
telling you that they are your own.
The ones who shoot arrows in your lungs
and you lye bleeding
believing that the color of your blood is true love for him.
The hour hand will spin around the clock
too many times before you leave him.
It will hurt.
You thought it was true,
but after the death of it
you will realize you deserve someone so much sweeter
than a bitter apple.
Love the one who doesn't cheat you blind,
but instead comes to you with truths in his wretched palms
and waits for you to
but never gives up and never stops wishing that the past could rewind
that he could change the things wrong that he did to you.
Love the one who feeds your heart warm apple pie,
who cries in front of your children,
who drives them to school and hugs them when they get home.
Be with someone who doesn't ask for you to change
but instead loves your mistakes
cradles them within his fabric lungs
breathes them in with a grin.
Love is an interesting thing.
You will be thrown out of a moving car to the side of the road.
Some will come running back to you.
Don't jump back in the front seat,
just run
and run
and run
and run
until you find someone who buckles the seat belt for you.
Drives five under the speed limit,
takes things slowly and waits for you to be ready to accelerate.
I am here for you.
Remember me, the one who loved you first,
the one who will never stop loving you.
Come to me after he breaks up with you.
You can cry on my shoulder,
and ill wipe your tears with my sleeve.
Find a love who loves you the way
that your father and I love you,
the way that your grandmother loves you.
Find a love who already considers you family.
Who meets you
and looks into your ocean eyes
and drowns peacefully into your heart.

No mother would fill up her eyes with tears of woman...
if it weren't for God performing a miracle at dawn,
as she cried out in joy and held her baby in trembling arms
but shed many sweet tears hearing his laughter so loud;
oh, he couldn't see her mommy's face through his tiny eyes,
and it will be long before he'll will utter the first word, " Mom."
Now that baby sleeps under the attentive look of his mom,
who's too young to become a mature woman;
many visions of this birth crossed her gleeful eyes
she dreamed of the very same words whispered at each dawn,
repeating them in her silly head as if they sounded too loud...
while cradling a pretty doll in her folded arms.
Will she be welcomed home by her parents opening their arms?
Will they reprimand her and not consider her a legal mom?
Perhaps they will not be angry and speak not so loud:
girls are supposed to be girls, not suddenly turn into woman...
So this innocent girl, deceived by a bad boy, must wake up at dawn
when her baby cries and feed him with scary, childish eyes?
Nights seem longer for her, trying to stay awake rubbing her eyes,
what she beheld in those exciting eyes, now it's a burden in her weary arms;
she remembers that pain was too unbearable, but joy more sublime at dawn...
how will she learn how to care for the infant by watching her mom?
She must have seen a nursery or read a book how to think like a real woman,
and can anyone imagine how she keeps that secret instead of revealing it loud?
She must gather enough courage inside to feed her baby who can't cry loud,
but for now she must carry that baby without sighs of distress into her bright eyes;
and her parents can see the changes making her a loving person already woman;
they may ask questions to why she has gained weight and holds dolls in her arms...
no, they aren't anticipating great news and in doubt, they await a splendid dawn.
Mother and daughter closely together amazed by the coming dawn,
any concealed secret can be easily spoken...somewhat joyful and loud;
they imagine the infant's futures will be part of grandma and mom!
Their reunited hearts come together to show love in their delighted eyes,
and they'll take turns feeding the new-born, tenderly lulling him in their arms;
what if forgiveness hadn't been there to deny her all of the joys of woman?
Would a mother deny her daughter compassion as a good woman?
Even God hurried dawn to offer that gift into her gracious, tender arms...
and those arms accepted it with the gentleness and kindness of mom.

Shall I compare thee to your mother's arse?
Thou aren't more lovely, but more flatulent.
Rough winds do shake it; and bring on a farce
And all her clothes hath all too short a rent
Sometime too hot-headed of hell doth burn,
And often is the true nature exposed;
And every foul from fowl; my stomach churns,
By reason, or by nature's raging closed.
But thy infernal diet shall ne'er start
Nor gain possession of which now I grasp;
Nor shall we meet again; let's stay apart,
When in eternal sounds the voice does rasp,
So long as men can breathe or eyes can cry,
So long lives this, and I bid thee goodbye.

The moon so bold seems cold
with a halo of midnight glow
I sit mesmerized as the night grows old.
I bleed still, even after all these years
and I wait again through the night
aching in the depths of my soul
that no other seems to know
the Loneliness that has become my companion.
In the darkness we wait and confide in the other
our deepest fears as memories fade
in and out each season of change
the nostalgia tempers the wars of pain
this tempestuous foe of ours
wails at the gates of midnight
howling the warble of humanities last grace.
How the comfort of minds and hearts
turn from light to deep dark in the face
of eternities long time clock...
I ache with wanting, with need and passion
it is a lie that time heals and wounds scar
each night is fresh like the first
when I faced realities shock.
Who can wait with me?
Who can hold this hound at bay?
Who can cherish what little love left in me
and make the broken whole?
I ache to be loved again as the love that burns
and waits inside of me.
Who can comfort this emptiness and fill the void
that so many leavings have left?
Cherish and love to honor and protect
but who can slay these demons that hold my heart in wrath?
Who will walk the sulfur clouds of hell to save my mind
and deliver my world to the gates of heaven
with life, not death bridging the distance of pain?
I sit and wait at the floor of the moon each night
waiting for that bridge to carry me yonder,
this moon who hangs heavy and ripe with the yearning of my soul
with clouds aglow as if I could sweep them across a canvas
with the brush held in your hand
I rage at her as I wait, but still I wait and weep
as Loneliness and I keep each others company
wishing the clouds of that great moon could truly create
a way to find the lost, a pathway to home, lit by the legacy our love.

How Can We Hurt The Ones We Love?
How can we hurt the very ones that we love?
How can we easily neglect our God above?
It seems like I often heard about many victims
Many times, it's from a loved one who's been with them!
The hate and the anger that boils from deep within.
Often "boils over" toward our family and friends.
It's the love of Christ that we need to find!
His love can totally cleanse our life and mind!
The hearts of many families are bruised and broken.
By the harshness of many of the words spoken.
If we would allow Jesus to rule and reign.
We'd have little reason to murmur or complain.
If we would yield our lives to the master's will…
The emptiness and brokenness, he shall fulfill!
If we could allow ourselves to sit at Jesus' feet…
He can make any family totally complete!
If we could just listen to what Christ has to say.
His words of life would brighten our day!
As a family… Won't you give HIM a chance?
And allow his love to change your circumstance!
Won't you allow his spirit to bind you together?
You can experience his peace today and forever!
He can change your family throughout!
This is his will and what God is all about!

She feeds on his lies and games
She stays with him even though he calls her nasty names
I wish he would go away and never come back
The mother daughter relationship is beginning to crack
because of this boyfriend of hers she has changed her whole attitude towards me
Anything i say is wrong and his word is taken like the golden rule he has really turned
her into a fool. She says he loves her, so not true I know his kind, they will beat you
black and blue if don't do what they say or do what they want, they use their fists
without a second thought.

Is your go-to lunch roast beef sandwich?
Tomorrow you might want turkey instead
Here is why
In gen. red meat- such as roast beef
Not as healthy as other kinds of protein
Tends to have more cholesterol
Often has more saturated fat
Both things are bad for your heart
Eating too much red meat
May linked to colon cancer
This does not mean
You should never eat beef or other red meats
Just go easy on them
Tasty Swaps
Fish or chicken
With hamburgers
Try Veggie burgers
With Stir-fry
Try Fried tofu
With lasagna
Try Eggplant slices
With salad
Try tuna or broiled egg
With Breakfast
Try turkey or soy links
With Casserole
Try lentils and rice
With Chili
Try beans (canned or dried)
With Dinner entrée
Try Roast turkey (baked or broiled)
With sandwiches and wraps

I was just trying to remember the past
trying to remember the good people
and the bad people,
that i came across on my way,
i want you to know
that you are among the good people
that left a good trace in my life,
once again i just want to say thank you
for passing through my life,
is so short but is wonderful
i want you here forever.

Final Adieu
Let another sun set,
Let another flower wilt,
Let another autumn cast its gloom,
Let another tear role,
As ye part, and bid
The final adieu.

Let the Deicide commence.
You're a voyeur at best!
Your vampiric heart is beating out of your chest!
And you have slayed the ones whom would love you for anything less
Ready to consume the final fragments of innocence,
And for you there is no forgiveness,
On your knees pleading, screaming to a tyrant in the skies;
The father of lies.
I will never be enslaved in your superiority
The people agree: jaded of your false dichotomies.
Know: I will be whomever nature intends to be
Apollo and I will share our dreams,
and you will be forced to see
your failure!
I know who you are...
Readily the first to present your scars
Chained by some despot or mental czar
An emotional homunculus in your mind, behind bars
Reluctant to escape - even when proven fake
Your demented mind - depths no one will penetrate!
...And you see me suffering
Not caring of any casualties
Just as long you recieve your safeguard of sympathy
So very wary of the masses and their Anarchy; Liberious ways
Solipsist - Is there no one you can see?
Even if she was presented burning?
Solipsist - Is there no one you can believe?
Even if Sophia was screaming?
Solipsist - Know you have killed and abused me
Imprisoned in your own personal reality

Molested the first fifteen years of my life. My mother remained silent the whole time. As the molesting continued all those years. Forced to live a pretend life all my childhood. Beaten and punished every other day. For no reason other than being a child. After all this I figured I was a unwanted child. My mother couldn't love me abusing me. She brought me fancy expensive clothes every year. To cover up all her verbal, mental, and physical abuse. She tried to hide me from people, family and friends. So that they wouldn't see the embarrassing scars and bruises. Sometimes so bad I couldn't even go to school the next day. Or I would get into fights or act rude to get a suspension notice. That would have allowed my body to heal. One time I even tried to get ex-spelled. However, it didn't work. I only came home to more beatings. Her boyfriend watched and help hold me down on the floor as she would beat, and beat, and beat. Maybe this gave him a idea that it was ok to abuse me. Being that my mother was already doing it. Yeah! From the outside looking in my childhood was perfect. Every child wanted my seat. Name-brand clothes, shoes, computers, and almost every toy in the Jc Penny catalog. From the inside looking out I was screaming to get out. Scared, alone, abused, and still a child. So there was nothing I could do. I had no brothers or sisters at the time. All my family wouldn't believe me.No! Not him they would say, and did say at age fifteen I started getting older, and more developed. I had to put a stop to this. So after talking to some school friends. I decided to talk to my mother about what was going on. So later on that night I called my mother in to talk to her. I had told her what had been going on. while she was a work, and out late shopping. She in return asked me to draw a picture of his *****. As if she didn't believe me on the spot. What! I thought to myself. How could she ask me a thing like that? After one hour she finally called the police. I was brung in also for video questioning. I told them what had been going on in the house while my mother was away. The police in return asked me "what took so long for me to tell" I replied" I was scared, alone, and threatened. I had no one in the house to protect me. From my mothers abusive ways. I thought people would tease me." The next question was to my mother. The police asked "How could you live in the same house, and not know that your child was being raped?" My mother sat quietly and had no answer. So she got charged with neglect. My mother's boyfriend got charged with child molestation, and a few other things. I can't remember them all. After all that I was still scared, but finally free. Free to be a kid again.
Awh, hell the relationship between my mother and I went down the drain. After trial she hated me even more. Every day she was threatening to kick me out of the house. I was only sixteen so she couldn't just kick me out. Yet! She even got so angry at times. She went as far as not letting me communicate with my newborn brother. She even told people to keep him away from me. That hurt me so bad everyday. I prayed to God everyday to soften my mother's heart, but it never happened. When I turned eighteen she finally kicked me out the house for real. With no place to go, no money , and no food to eat. I ended up living with family and friends until she let me back in. I don't know why, but I thought things had changed. About a week after moving she called the police and told them that I was prostituting. Which was a lie. Thank God I didn't spend time in jail. Due to her lies and deceit. I never thought I would have to leave my own mother alone. However, after that incident that was my final decision. Sporadically I call her to hear her voice, and check on my brother. Unfortunately she never answers the phone. Her guilt for abusing me won't let her answer the phone.
I moved to Albany, NY for a fresh start. A new beginning! There I met more friends, moved into a brand new apartment, and fell in love. I wasn't expecting to fall in love, but I did. With a adorable, hot, and sexy Italian guy. For the first time my life was great, and I was happy. I even tried some plus size modeling, nursing, and I started self-publishing my writings. I was accomplishing things that my mother never encouraged me to do.
After about four years I started feeling homesick . So I came back to Virginia. Wow! What destruction was happening. My whole family fell apart. Nothing or nobody were the same. They all became police property. That was a sign to continue to stay away from them. Continue my happy life. Continue self-publishing my stories. Praying to God everyday. that I remain successful. This is a true story. Unfortunately it happened to me. From a mother who brung me in this world. Only to use and abuse me my whole entire childhood. Then pretend that nothings even going on.

Our Ancestors fought to the death,
Just so we can live a brighter day,
So before you light up that blunt of meth,
Think about what you're giving away,
It was a glad day in history when Obama rose to victory,
The first black president was all we knew,
Dark skin is in!
Haven't you heard?
That even in our community,
You can get burned,
It's a sad day when people would rather stay home and "Crank That Amber Cole",
Than get up and run to a poll,
In our community,
Rockin' Luis V is better than having a college degree,
And teen pregnancy is not only a trend,
But the single motherhood that follows should end,
Young girls learn of a wonderful prince to take them away,
Nothing should change thought their mothers prince didn't stay,
And as the tears fade away,
She grows stronger every day,
In our community,
Fighting is no longer a word,
You argue with someone and shots are heard,
Girls showing places the sun don't show,
So how do they expect the community to grow?
Where love is a figment of imagination,
Making a young child question her creation,
Young mothers would rather buy the iPhone 5,
Then satisfy her baby's cries,
While her new man's eye,
Wander up another girl's thighs,
In our community,
Where #team dark skin vs #team light skin,
Makes others not love the skin they're in,
Love, lust, hate, and trust,
Giving a rose on Valentine's Day is no longer a must,
Where bad is good and good is bad,
Who would think to see their grandmother sad?
Her hurt and pain,
Shows how our community has lost everything her parents fought to gain.

Missing you is like feelings of thee morning dew. The very first time I glanced at you, something like a widow a woman that husband has died. Wishing we had just a little more time. Wishful thinking believing everything you ever said was true shows how bad I want to be with you. Reminiscing over here dwelling on the past, indicating a desire of admiration I grasp. Adoration and appreciation is what I feel for you, longing suffering missing and enduring the lost just to speak to you. From morning till midnight, sunset to sunrise moving into the afternoon time I'm missing you. Arousing emotional response in motion missing you is my religion. My system of belief, therefor you're an apostle sent by Christ making me a flock of one in your missionary. Leaving me with anxiety and tension I stay missing. Impatient for your fulfillment, missing you is an addiction and psychological dependence. Needing to see you even for a minute, in a recession I remain unchanged retain missing you.

Afore falling in his arms they advice to think twice
Unregretful I act beyond my surprise
It's the grip of a force, a force here to claim
Compelling, like a moth drawn to the flame
Every night encloses the heat of flaming souls
But sun kissed morning plays a wicked role
To my realization it brings an obvious question
What next to prevent conception?
Like always, I pop in a pill to save the bill
My guy admires the worth of a contraceptive pill
It causes side-effects. Ah! How would he know?
He enjoys the freedom of reckless show
Nevertheless, I look at kids and admire their innocence
Wish the pill could kill within me my maternal pretence!

NOTE: This poem is a humoruos stab at PMS from a mans point of view
I can see your blood boiling
through the blades I once called eyes,
they were once beautiful like jewels
now they hurt my deep insides.
cutting at my guts
and like a noose on my lungs;
your words seek like bullets
your mouth like sniper guns.
I'm hit with each inaccuracy…
Being killed by words untrue;
and you even got the nerve
to tell me what you think I do.
But let me get mad
and try to plead my case;
then suddenly the world
is a f--ked up place.
You got tears running down…
What the Hell did I do?
We were just sitting and laughing
I could swear that we were cool.
Oh God…
Oh no…;
I should have seen it…
It's Aunt Floe…,
This battle can't be won or reasoned
I think its best I go.
Cause I hate Aunt Floe
and she hate me too;
she sit and talk sh-t
about the gum I chew.
The color of my shirt…,
She say my look is a stair;
She say my best has no worth
And she doesn't stop there.
I didn't change
I've been the same
these 28 days,
but now I'm f_ckin A__hole
Aunt Floe gave me that name.
She said get out my face
This aint your home no more,
But I'm more puzzled by
What was said before.
I love you
With her glossy eyes
I knew it was true,
But horribly sly
You see these words
make me the fool.
The one that's cruel
That a__hole dude,
That sparked the fuel
To this f__kin feud.
But I swear to God
I didn't start this sh_t,
Why would I give up my love
To live my life like in a pit.
This is horrible sh_t
Wasted days spent,
On nothing but the worst
I could be bathed in your sent.
You could be laughing
While I'm smiling
But Aunt Floe Won't let this be,
And the only way to make this right
Is hold my tongue a week.
And that ain't gone happen
I'm a person too,
Not soft
But I got feelins
and don't know what to do.
Now its been six days
Unbelievable rage,
She locked herself
In the room
I call it her cage.
I smell a sent in the air
It wasn't there before,
Now lookin down the hall
I see an open door.
Is this a trap
I'll guess I'll see,
If I fall for another
You know that's dumb ass me.
Curled in the bed
I think I know that girl,
But where's the hells Aunt Floe
The one that f__ked my world.
She packed up and gone
Didn't even say good bye,
Just came wit gang of bullsh_t
And vanished in the sky.
Is that you my dear
Can you please come here,
Listen close and crystal clear…
I hate Aunt Floe
Next time she here
Make sure I'm stocked
with weed and beer.
I love you punk. ?

A Mothers Meditation
I taught her better.
I didn't want this for her
She's followed my tracks
Look at her, life is ruined
She knows not what she's done
The Daughters Disposition
Wow, what did I do?
I can't bear the pain she flaunts
Her disappointment…
Stings… like a swift kick inside
What on earth was I thinking?
A Teen Dad's Train of Thought
Did I? I didn't!
It wouldn't have felt as good…
She took the pill right?
What if, she was with other guys?
What do I tell my parents?

experienced during intercourse will diminish with the use of a condom."

People were
Many things.
Strange or not
People were
Different and
Odd and fun.
People were
Monsters but…
That's not all
People were
And still are
Strange and odd.
People are
People. For
life is life.
Yet not.
Not is lies.
Truth seeps from
Every mouth
Lies, lies, lies
Move, move, move
But somehow
Lies prevail.
Lies are life.
Lies are death.
Lies are homes.
Lies are pain.
Lies are truth.
Yet somehow.
Truth prevails.
Truth is life.
Truth is death.
Truth is home.
Truth is pain.
Truth is lie.
Truth is that.
Lies will die.
Lies will cease.
Truth will live.
Truth will be.

Bless it be Thee!
Bless it be Thee!
Truly, I love you.
My whole my new.
My heart your key!
Loose lips and free.
Realistically, I knew!
You are far and few.
I can justly let it be.
You know, it is Gemini's Full Moon tonight,
The Universe is waking up figuring us all out.
Point me out as a random beam of Moonlight,
I am engulfing and enriching charts in route.
Swiftly suited, I stand in my place!
Bless it be it to Thee! A closed case!

Today we rise.
No more hiding in the shadows,
of culture,
No more silent complicity,
defensive arguments,
sickening pretences,
shabby excuses,
for the actions of men,
brutal and coarse and vulgar and obscene and murderous and abusive.
Today, we rise,
as one.
Today the change starts,
with me,
within me.
Today we rise.

Pleasures await you by the seashore,
And in the coming months
Invest in your family; today and tomorrow,
Pleasures await you by the seashore.
Your first choice will be the wisest to follow;
Do not put all your stocks in the market.
Pleasures await you by the seashore
And in the coming months...

befuddled by mud puddle conversation
motivated to stay away from those in the throes of saving face
at a sprinter's pace
saving grace
each time I grind with people who don't mind blindly trying to debase my name
I end up sulking in the walk of shame
families need to learn to move on
be strong
but for crying out loud,
without a doubt,
there shall be heartfelt apologies issued from both sides
this bumpy ride might take a little swallowing of pride,
many bona fide hugs with love
you may go through a box or two of fresh tissues
to properly address the issues
we must stare defiantly into the eyes of resistance
identify the roots of our miscues
giving the boot to artificial rituals
to ambitiously make transitions,
stitch up wounds
switch up moods
shake up, move
to a place where faces are soothed by smiles and laughter
a fresh chapter
an escape after disasters happen
an island where
we realize those who actually matter
yes, addressing the crash
without making the past our current address
i write this piece in peace, for those who may be dueling with duress
stressed by words or actions of those who you may regret not being able to completely
love, respect, and/or caress

She saved herself from pick up lines though she looked vulnerable
She's sooo lovable her heart definition could ruin my poetic abilities
You cannot put a price on her she's not billable
If only her lips where adjustable my soft poetry would define her inabilities and weaknesses for the mute to scream happily ever after
She's untouchable i O you an explanation
Her tears tattoo broken spirits uploaded on instagram
She's no twitter baby though followers invite themselves its unbelievable
I could throw nice verses in our conversation but i'm afraid i'm love blind
I'll tell you more about her if you ask me....ask me nice

We have had our ups, we have had our downs
Back and forths and all arounds.
We yelled at each other, both thought we were right
Once we even had a fist fight
Both made mistakes, but thats in the past.
You've grown up so beautiful, seems way too fast.
You deserve a man that has more respect.
I am your mother, your mine to protect.
When you called and I answered the phone,
I was worried when I heard your tone.
Sounded like you had been crying
I asked if he hit you...I knew you were lying.
You got so defensive and ended the call.
I threw the phone and started to bawl.
I taught you to always be strong
Even when others think that your wrong
I will stand by your side with decisions you make.
Because I love you, even after the last breath I take.

Me... I was standing on that stranded Island...... alone........
Looking back..... into my Life... the past......
I felt.... I was not alone in those..... I was surrounded with my friends, relatives and
But here in the end.... I became alone...... For ever....
I felt like I was a romantic poet those days..... I looked into the mirror of time.....
The past...
I knew that I was a poet..... An artist..... A performer...... More than all, I was a
clown to all.....
I went back to to the time along with my memories....
There I saw her..... She was with me...... She was Crying, Laughing, Teasing me.....
I felt....... I was in her lap..... for decades or more....
But today even she left me....... and I am alone......
Again I went back along with my memories......
There I saw my mother...... I was with her ..... for more than several years.....
Now, I feel........ My mother was better any way... But I missed her.....
All I know is I left all my fellow beings only for my love......
But today even she left me....... and I am alone......

I keep my dreams and aspirations,
stored away neatly in this box.
Tied off with a pretty pink ribbon,
secured tightly with key and lock.
And every time I feel like a failure,
I open it, so I can again feel alive.
Arms of dreams tightly surround me,
giving me strength I need to survive.
I've hidden this box in a secret place,
where I'm the only who can see.
A beautiful box of hopes and dreams,
finely sewn with love at the seams.
This box is opened quite frequently,
especially when we're apart –
this rhetorical box of memories,
in perfect synch with each beat of my heart

If you were a penny, I'd keep you in my front pocket every day.
I'd shine and cleanse you daily, washing all troubles and woes away.
If you were a diamond ring, on my finger is where you'd stay.
I'd shine the stone feverishly, parting all frets and worries astray.
If you were a novel, I'd place you at the very front of the shelf,
I'd tear out the pages of misery, and swallow the depression myself.
If you were as free as a butterfly, I'd cup you within my hands.
I'd whisper all my secrets, then release you from all commands.
If you were a painting, I'd pose you directly over so all could see,
I'd dust away the tears and guilt, inhaling the particles inside of me.
If you were a bronze statue, I would polish you until you shined.
I'd scour away the torment, and any melancholy I should find.
If you were a flower, I'd pluck the petals of bane from your life,
I'd water and feed you frequently, nourishing the roots of strife.
If you were an eagle, I'd admire your rare beauty from above,
I'd watch you slowly soar into the horizon, taking with you,

This is the first time I've posted anything and I really need some help/advise. My 3 yr. old son has regressed big time with potty training. I don't know what to do. He was doing so well and only wearing a pull-up at night. Now he's been peeing and pooping in his underwear on a daily basis. I've tried rewarding going in the potty, taking away certain things for not going in his underwear. I've put him on the potty every 1 1/2 hrs to 2 hours and yet the minute I put the underwear back on, he goes in it and tells me that the reason he peed/pooped is because he wants me to have to clean it up. I'm so frustrated!!! I'm 23 weeks pregnant with my second son which probably doesn't help, but I could use some advise because I've run out of ideas. Is anyone going through this??
Thanks! Melanie

News Release
Senator Robert Menendez Introduces Shareholder Protection Act
Statement of U.S. PIRG Federal Legislative Office Director Gary Kalman on the Introduction of Shareholder Protection Act
"The supreme Court's decision last year in Citizens United v FEC afforded already powerful corporate interests even greater influence in our elections. In that decision, a majority of justices swept away decades of legal precedent and protections which served to protect the integrity of our elections process.
Today's introduction of the Shareholder Protection Act is a simple yet powerful response to rein in unaccountable spending by corporate CEOs and others who lead public companies. The bill's simple yet potent provisions call for shareholders to determine whether the company should risk engaging in electoral politics. As we saw with a few companies whose political giving became public in the 2010 election, there are consequences.
If the Court deems corporations to be more like people for the purposes of elections, a position U.S. PIRG strongly disagrees with, at least let the actual people who own the corporation have a say in how their money is being spent.
U.S. PIRG applauds Sen. Menendez (NJ), Sen. Blumenthal (CT), Rep. Capuano (MA) and Rep. Eshoo (CA) for proposing this important check on executive behavior. Corporate profits beling to the shareholders and should not be used by executives as their own personal political action committee.
We look forward to working with the sponsors and other in Congress to pass this critical reform."

Can you get high off of raw garlic?
It is not well documented but high doses of raw garlic,even as little as one clove has been known to cause symptoms of "euphoria" in patients who were prescribed raw ga…rlic regimen therapy as a naturopathic medicine for multiple diseases and ailments. Garlic may help prevent cardiovascular disease by lowering blood pressure and reducing overall cholesterol levels, including short-term reduction of LDL (bad cholesterol), and inhibiting blood clotting. Garlic may also help ward off cancer; it stimulates the body's natural killer cells and may help to neutralize some of the carcinogens that make their way into our diet. The pungent, distinct aroma that garlic releases when you crush its cloves is a sulphur compound called allicin, a natural anti-virus, anti-infection, and anti-fungal weapon. (MORE)

Common Toxins Found in Cigarettes
Cigarette toxins fill your body with poisons, carcinogens and other harmful ingredients. These toxins damage multiple parts of your body, including your lungs, immune system a…nd heart. There are hundreds of toxins in cigarettes, but the most well-known are nicotine, ammonia, arsenic and formaldehyde.One of the best known cigarette toxins is nicotine, which is a type of poison. Nicotine is the main addictive ingredient in cigarettes that produces chemicals that make you feel good. This makes it harder to quit because your body starts yearning for the euphoria that nicotine provides.You use ammonia to clean your windows and fertilize your yard, but it is also in your cigarettes. This toxin helps enhance the effects of nicotine by converting bound nicotine into free nicotine molecules, which allows nicotine to absorb more readily into your bloodstream. The addition of ammonia to cigarettes fuels addiction by making the high from the nicotine stronger and more intense.Arsenic is a toxic metal that is found in many poisons, especially rat bait. Inorganic arsenic, which occurs when arsenic mixes with sulfur, chlorine and oxygen, is a leading cause of lung, liver and bladder cancers. This metal is used in pesticides on tobacco farms, and each cigarette contains small quantities of this metal. As a smoker, you breathe in up to 2.4 micrograms of this toxin per pack of cigarettes.Formaldehyde is a known carcinogen that is often used to preserve dead bodies. This chemical irritates your nose, mouth and eyes when you breathe in cigarette smoke. Sidestream smoke, which is the smoke that burns off the end of your cigarette, contains up to three times the safe level of formaldehyde.Over 7,000 chemicals are found in one cigarette, and over 300 of those are either poisonous or known carcinogens. These toxins settle into your respiratory tract where they disperse to your lungs and other organs to cause damage. Secondhand smoke still contains over 200 toxins, including at least 50 carcinogens, which means that those around you who are not smoking cigarettes are still at risk for health problems due to your addiction.Arsenic, one of the toxins in cigarettes, is sometimes removed from the body through chelation. Symptoms of arsenic poisoning start with headaches, confusion and drowsiness. If you believe you are experiencing arsenic poisoning, see a doctor. (MORE)
The Health Consequences of Long-term Cigarette Smoking
Cigarette consequences are something that you do not like to think about while you are smoking. These long-term health effects are important, and you should know about how cig…arettes damage your health. Smoking cigarettes for years impacts your heart, skin, lungs and other parts of the body.Heart disease is one of the major cigarette consequences that occurs from smoking. This disease kills over 1.5 million Americans yearly, and it is the leading cause of death for smokers. The chemicals in cigarettes weaken your arteries, which makes them more prone to bursting.This ups your risk of a heart attack and other heart-related problems.You probably already know that smoking cigarettes long term raises your chances of lung cancer. It also raises your risk of emphysema, asthma, pneumonia and other respiratory infections. Smoking regularly even increases your chances of developing regular colds and the flu, and it makes it more difficult to get well following these conditions.Smoking raises your risk of oral cancer more than six times compared to a non-smoker. A persistent sore throat, hacking cough and loss of taste buds are other ways in which smoking damages your mouth and throat. Cancer of the esophagus is also a high probability when you continue smoking for years.When you smoke, you are more likely to develop stomach ulcers that do not heal for long periods of time. Smoking also increases the amount of stomach acid, which leads to heartburn and other reflux issues. The toxins in cigarettes also cause stomach, colon and other cancers of the digestive system.Wrinkles, thyroid issues, osteoporosis and degenerative disc disease are other common health problems that arise from long-term smoking. Many of these medical conditions do get better if you are able to stop smoking. Make the commitment to quit now to prevent dealing with all of these health consequences.If you're not convinced to quit by the cost of cigarettes or even reports that smoking takes years off your life, consider the shocking evidence submitted by a British statistician. Smoking from 15 to 24 cigarettes a day shortens your daily lifespan by five hours. Do you have five hours to spare each day in exchange for the "pleasure" of smoking? (MORE)
In Ingredients
What's in a Cigarette?
Smoking is bad for your health no matter what way you look at it. The reason smoking is bad for your health relates to the ingredients inside the cigarette. Some are addictive… and others cause cancer. What's in a cigarette exactly?Your cigarette contains 600 ingredients. When you smoke the cigarette, you have changed these into 4000 chemicals. Of these, doctors and scientists know that 50 cause cancer and others are poisonous. When many of these ingredients are found in other products, they are mentioned and you are warned about them. This is not true in cigarettes. Here are some examples of ingredients in your cigarette: acetone (nail polish remover), arsenic (used to make rat poison), butane (used to make lighter fluid), cadmium (component in battery acid), tar, methanol (used in rocket fuel) and nicotine (used to make insecticide).The main ingredient that causes you to become addicted to cigarettes is nicotine. When inhaled, nicotine causes a temporary high causing you to feel great and energized. When the effect wears off, you want another cigarette so you are able to feel that way again. If you smoke long enough, your brain lowers your normal ability to feel good and energized and you need even more nicotine to keep you going.There are at least 43 carcinogenic (cancer-causing) agents in each cigarette you smoke. Some of these ingredients include: hydrogen cyanide, nitrogen oxide, ammonia and carbon monoxide. Many ingredients that are used to make pesticides, battery acid, tarnish removers, rat poison and more go into the making of a cigarette.On top of the many carcinogenic ingredients in a cigarette, there are toxic ingredients or substances that poison you. Formaldehyde (preservative for dead people), DDT (banned insecticide), methyl isocyanate (accidental release killed 2,000 people in India) and methoprene (insecticide) are other toxic ingredients found in a cigarette. Most of the ingredients in a cigarette are either cancer-causing or toxic and kill you if taken in large doses.Cigarettes are harmful to your health. There's a reason you are hearing that so often. A cigarette has so many ingredients that damage your health, from ruining your lungs to killing you with cancer. Think hard and long about whether to start smoking, if you haven't already.According to the WHO, nearly 15 billion cigarettes are smoked each day. With these deadly ingredients in each one, it's no surprise that so many deaths are attributed to smoking-related diseases. (MORE)
What Are the Effects of Cloves in Cigarettes on Your Health?
For years, a myth existed that smoking clove cigarettes is better for your health than smoking cigarettes containing traditional tobacco. However, research over the past decad…e has proven this myth to be false; clove cigarettes are very capable of causing injury and disease.Clove cigarettes are not identical to traditional, tobacco cigarettes. This is a major reason for the myth that smoking clove cigarettes is better for you because it contains a tamer version of nicotine. The astonishing truth is that clove cigarettes still contain between 60 and 70 percent tobacco.According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, clove cigarettes actually produce more nicotine and carbon monoxide than the more mainstream brands of cigarettes. Research has also found that the cloves themselves cause issues. The biggest issue being a numbness in your throat that. This numbness has been known to cause you to choke on your food or drink.Smoking clove cigarettes puts you at risk for nausea, vomiting, bronchitis, pneumonia, various allergies and even possibly lung cancer. Smoking clove cigarettes is also linked to coughing up blood, though this side effect is rare.There is no such thing as a safe cigarette. Some alternatives, such as clove cigarettes, have become popular because of both its "cool" factor, and the appearance that it is not harmful. There is no way around it, smoking is bad for your health.While the adverse health effects of clove cigarettes in comparison to traditional cigarettes are known, the long-term effects of smoking clove cigarettes are not. Rather than risk your health, speak to your doctor about how to get help quitting.If you are a clove cigarette smoker trying to quit, you are missing the aroma of cloves as much as you are missing the experience of smoking. To help alleviate the sensory deprivation you are feeling, create a mixture of water, cloves and cinnamon. Let this mixture simmer on your stove for a few minutes every night, permeating the air before you sleep. (MORE)
9 Facts About Cigarettes and Nicotine
Are you still smoking despite knowing how much harm you stand to gain from cigarettes? The fact is that it is hard to quit smoking, but the sobering fact is that with every ci…garette you light up you are causing more harm to your body. It is important to keep reminding yourself what harm you are subjecting your body with each cigarette in order to finally get the realization that you need to quit smoking.Studies done by the [Massachusetts Health Department and Harvard University from 1997 to 2005 revealed that the nicotine content in cigarettes has risen](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17897974). The study looked into several cigarette brands including as Newport, Doral and Camel, and found that the nicotine content in the cigarettes increased by up to 11%.Urea the main waste product found in urine plays an important role during the cigarette manufacturing process. Urea is used to "flavor up" cigarettes.Cigarettes pack up a high amount of sugar content approximately 20%. The effect of burning sugar through cigarette smoking is still unknown but most diabetics are aware of this fact.Lite-cigarettes are often thought to be the "safer" option, but there is no such thing as a safe cigarettes.Smokers will often draw on menthol and lite-cigarettes much harder compared to regular cigarettes, sending the same levels of nicotine and tar to the lungs.3,000 American non-smokers are estimated to die from lung cancer each year all due to second hand smoke exposure. 46,000 more American non-smokers die from heart diseases also brought about from second hand smoke exposure.Tobacco use is known to put a strain on the heart by constricting blood vessels. This in turns affects athletic performance and particularly youth activities. Smokers characteristically run slower, get short winded faster and suffer from shortness of breath.Teenagers who take up smoking and smoke 2 to 3 cigarettes daily are said to get hooked to smoking in just about 2 weeks.Teenage girls who smoke are known to have excessive growth of facial hair. Break outs and stubborn zits are also reported more in teens who smoke. Studies have also shown that teenage girls who smoke risk have a greater risk of developing osteoporosis, which is characterized by bone density loss, earlier than they should.Different smokers derive different effects from smoking. Some say it makes them calm, concentrate better, be more alert or feel relaxed. The reality is that all these are simply placebo effects of smoking cigarettes. The perceived gain from smoking is actually what keeps smokers lighting up cigarette after cigarette.Several active ingredients and special methods of production are involved in making sure the nicotine concentration in a cigarette is many times more potent than that of a tobacco plant.Have you come across any interesting or shocking facts about nicotine and cigarettes?
