Adonis Baths in Paphos
Adonis baths are a two level waterfall and I highly recommend this drive here. I visited it recently on my last trip to Paphos and you will find Mr. Pambos Theodorou there to greet you. He is a writer, poet, lyric and actor. He has great sense of humor and he says that he lives here. He has turned his house into a kind of museum and the entrance is 9 euros.
The waterfall is beautiful so if you plan to go take along your bathing suits…you can also dive in the water naked. Nobody will tell you not to. The surround area is wonderful, birds are singing and you can relax and enjoy this wonderful short trip from Paphos and unwind with the sound of the water coming down from the waterfall.

A drive to the Traditional Village of Fyti
The Small Traditional Village of FYTI
On my recent trip to Paphos I had the opportunity to visit the small and traditional village of Fyti. I have dedicated a whole entry with details on my Cyprus Guide #5 and I give you the link to read about this place.
It is very interesting indeed and it pays to drive out there.
It has a weaving museum and friendly people. Read about my whole trip there through the link below.
Post comments if you wish.

Emba? Empa?
4 kilometres north of Paphos, the village of Empa (also known as Emba) is, these days, almost swallowed up by the expansion of Paphos. The surrounding land that for centuries was used for growing a wide variety of produce for local markets (even sugar cane was grown in Lusignan times) is more and more being turned over to retirement and holiday villas for foreigners. The local population is expanding too and the needs of the parish have seen the village's old church superannuated and a truly horrible modern edifice built to replace it. Needless to say, that's not what you come to Empa to see.
The church of the Panagia Chryseleousa is the prize here. Its unusual twin domes are the result of a 13th century addition to the 12th century church that was itself built on the foundations of a much earlier, probably Byzantine, building. The eastern dome is the older, sitting above the crossing of the nave and transept of the first, cruciform, church. later work extended the nave, added a second transept and dome and created a narthex at the western end.
The church is kept locked as a rule but the caretaker is usually around some where and, provided you are suitably dressed - that means no knees or upper arms bared for both men and women - he will appear, open up for you and most probably point out the finer points of the frescoes and icons inside. He was happy for us to take photos but we were the only people there and it was on our first visit to Cyprus back in 2000. Things may well have changed, they certainly have in some other churches we re-visited this year.
The frescoes date from the 15th and 16th century, the iconostasis from the 16th century. The icons are in good repair and include a fine Christ holding a Gospel and St John the Baptist. Time, earthquakes and moist sea air have all taken a toll on the frescoes and heavy-handed 19th century restoration to some areas hasn't helped, but back in 2000 there was talk of more sympathetic restoration being done in the future. Whether or not that has happened yet was not something we had time to explore on our most recent visit - next time.

The road to Polis
Polis, some 30 kilometres north of Paphos is a pretty little town with far less development and a much more laid-back feel about it. If I had more than just a few days to spend in Cyprus, it would be where I would choose to stay but, being that little bit further away from everything, we made it a day trip destination instead. And what a nice day trip it makes.
With two main roads between Paphos and Polis, not to mention lots of smaller ones between villages, you can make the journey without having to double back on yourself, and all along the way you'll find different points of interest, lovely views and great photo opportunities. As well as the Monastery of Ayios Neophytus (a destination in its own right), abandoned mosques, isolated churches, traditional villages, fields of flowers all are to be found along the way. Take the easterly road through Choli and you might be lucky and find the newly restored Church of the Archangelos Michail with its 15th and 16th century frescoes open. It wasn't when we stopped by but the garden surrounding it was scented with oranges and the ancient chapel in the cemetery just down the hill was open was open and there we found unrestored frescoes of a similar age, still black with the candle smoke of centuries.
Just a few kilometres west of Polis, the glorious blue waters of Chrysochou Bay lie near the woodland pool known as the Baths of Aphrodite; ancient legends tell us this is where Adonis first saw the goddess bathing.
Before you get there, Latsi's pretty little horseshoe shaped harbour lined with carob warehouses-turned-cafes and filled with boats makes a good place to stop for a while.
Heading back to Paphos, you have some choices - if a little wine tasting is your fancy, head back south from Polis for Kathikas, one of the island's main wine areas. Heading further west, past Aphrodite's Baths, will bring to the wilderness area of the Akarmis Peninsula. Both good options.

Swallowed up
East of Paphos, the ancient village of Yeroskipou has been entirely swallowed up the bigger town to such an extent that thetwo just run into each other seamlessly. You could come just for the Turkish Delight made here - it is reputed to be the best on the island, or you could come to see yet another of Cyprus' old stone churches - this one uniquely possessing five domes.
Dedicated to Ayia Paraskevi, like so many other churches, it was built on the foundations of an even earlier church and it is likely a pagan temple stood on the site prior to that. Unusually, the fresco in the altar dome is not the usual Christ Pantocrator of Orthodox churches, its non-figurative fresco tells us this part of the church dates back to the 9th century when, for a period of a hundred years or so, icons and depictions of any person were considered idolatrous. Other parts of the fabric of the church building date from the 10th and 11th centuries; the frescoes are largely 15th and 16th century works.
The main dome's fresco is of the "Virgin Orans", that is a young Mary, full face with her arms raised in prayer and the Infant Christ within a round auriol on her breast. (photo 2)
Nothing remains in Yeroskipou of the much older cult that was worhipped here. The village takes its name from the ancient Greek Hieros Kipos meaning "sacred garden"- the holy gardens of Aphrodite.
And the loukoumi (Turkish Delight) - a couple of specialist sweet shops on the square opposite the church sell it all year round; during the summer stalls selling more of it line the roadside - as do stalls selling the local pottery and basketwares.
Polis in Paphos
A very popular beach in Paphos. Of course it is an open bay....not very preferable by myself, but it is beautiful I can admit.
It was too wavy when I visited it in January.
(Don't miss watching the video to get the whole picture of the beach).

- Beaches
The Akamas peninsula situated to the north west of Paphos is a unique area with outstanding varied vegetation, wildlife, landscapes and coasts. The number of plant species found here are up to 600, 35 of which are endermic, there are also 168 species of bird, 20 reptiles and butterfly species and 12 mammals.
It is a paradise for naturalists and if you come here between March and April there are wild orchids and tulips found in the unspoilt countryside here.

Chrysorrogiatissa Monastery & Agia Moni in Paphos
If you happen to be in the Winery Route of Paphos pay a visit to the Monastery of Chrysorrogiatissa and Moni, which are set in beautiful surroundings and lush vegetation.
They are two distinctive Monasteries of the 12th century A.D dedicated to 'Our Lady of the Golden Pomegranage'. Moni is dedicated to Agios Nikolaos.
You will see the oldest pine tree found in the island, - 130 years old.
Directions: 40 km northeast of Paphos, turn right before Stroumpi village. The monastery is also reached from Kykkos Monastery via the forest.

Latsi or Latchi Tip Rating:
It is a popular destination and very near the Aphrodite Baths.
I have been here several times, ....and I am planning a trip the following week as well.
There are fish tarverns by the coast and the harbour, and there is a long beautiful pebbled beach in this area as well.
The harbour is also beautiful because it is full of sailing boats.

Ayios Neophytos Monastery
Ayios Neophytos Monastery is a trip in the outkirts of Paphos not to be missed!
I was here the previous week, and what astound me was the many cats scattered all over the premises of the monastery. There are so many different kinds. I believe it is out here that I have seen some of the most beautiful cats in my life. There is even a sign put by the monks stating that cats can be fed at that point.
Besides the cats, I can assure that you will have some spectacular views from out there.
Opposite the monastery there are some caves with frescoes. Neophytos is said to have lived for 45 years in one of the caves and you can actually go inside and view this. His last five years were spent in a cave further up the rock face.
Taking photos are prohibited inside the hermitage:
Located about 20 kms from Paphos.

Saranda Colones Castle
Saranda Colones Castlewas a building, that was at least partly surrounded by a moat filled with water. There are 2 impressive arches left over and you can also still see the only bridge that was leading to the water-castle in Roman times.
The Saranda Colones Castle is at the end of the tour through the excarvation-area, You will need at least 2-3 hours in order to see all of the best exhibits and mosaiques there, that are spread all over quite a wide area.

Odeon, Asclepion & Agora
The Odeon, Asclepion & Agora are at the very end of the excarvation-area in Kato Pafos and they are dating back to the time around 200-400 AD. There are no mosaiques there, just some remains of stones and the seats of a theatre. In this area you also have to be careful, where you go, there are lots of side-paths leading to nowhere or to a place where you have to turn around again or jump down for quite a big distance.

The lighttower
The lighttower has nothing to do with the excarvations of the Roman times, but it is still inside its fences and you can go there and take a look for a great view of the city of Paphos. The lightower seems to be out of duty nowadays and also the house next to it was not inhabited anymore. From the lighttower you will get within a few minutes to the Odeon, Asclepion & Agora - see it in my next tip!

my 2 cents on name changeits an awesome option, so thank you DA for thatMore Like This
however, if you have created a reputation on your on-going name, and this is particular important for those of you who are looking forward to create a bigger fan-base, think carefully before you change your name.
i dont speak for everyone, but i know that when i look at comments, my order of reading is this, their icon and then their name
theres been a couple of times that i failed to recognize a friend's comment because they changed their icon, so even the icon is a big deal if you are trying to make a name for yourself, its really like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.
now if you change both your name and icon, its a pretty damn risky thing. I know DA sends your watcher a notice about name change, but you also have to know that there are lazy bastards like me who would fail to see those things when i'm distracted.

Washington condemns unrest in CairoComment on this story
Washington - The White House on Monday condemned the unrest shaking Egypt's fragile peace and called on the country's leaders to make clear that violence is never acceptable.
"We strongly condemn the recent violence that has taken place in various Egyptian cities," said White House spokesperson Jay Carney.
"We look to all Egyptians to express themselves peacefully and look to Egyptian leaders to make clear that violence is not acceptable."
The US statement follows an outbreak of violence in Egypt in which nearly 50 people have died since Friday.
Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi late on Sunday declared a month-long state of emergency in the provinces of Port Said, Suez and Ismailiya, where rioters have attacked and torched police stations.
In a televised address, he also slapped the three provinces with night-time curfews, while urging the opposition - which accuses him of betraying the revolution that brought him to power - to join a national dialogue.
Egypt's main opposition bloc on Monday rejected the invitation for talks and instead called for more mass demonstrations. - Sapa-AFP

New survey finds recycling, energy-saving technologies for asphalt pavements increasingly adopted nationwide
NAPA / April 17, 2013
Lanham, Md. — Thanks to broad adoption of sustainable construction practices, the asphalt pavement industry saved taxpayers more than $2.2 billion dollars during the 2011 paving season through the use of recycled materials and energy-saving warm-mix technologies.
According to a survey conducted by the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) in partnership with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), about 66.7 million tons of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and 1.2 million tons of reclaimed asphalt shingles (RAS) were collected in the United States during 2011 for useRead More
Concrete With Lower-Carbon Footprint Created From Biofuel Waste
Nathan / Clean Technica / March 19, 2013
A new form of concrete, stronger and with a lower carbon footprint, has been created by researchers utilizing some of the waste products of biofuel production. Concrete is an extremely widely-used material, and because of this has a rather significant carbon footprint, accounting for between 3-8% of global carbon dioxide emissions. The development of a concrete with a much lower carbon footprint could be significant.
"The idea is to use bioethanol production byproducts to produce a material to use in concrete as a partial replacement of cement," said Feraidon Ataie, doctoral studentRead More

I successfully modded and installed the Samsung 616t to replace my Thomson drive. The load times seem a little faster but I believe this may be due to the fact that it is reading the media better but don't believe that it is reading it faster. Doesn't the firmware control how fast a drive can read or is this completely a mechanical issue? In other words, does the Samsung 616 still read at 16x after the mod?
16x? Even After Being Flashed With 605 Firmware?

No, it reads at the same rotational speed as the original Xbox Samsung drive. It might read slightly quicker due to better optics w/in the drive.
Posted 04 December 2003 - 05:35 PM
yeah, same way you see a small speed increase with a 7200rpm drive vs a 5400, even though the xbox only utilizes the transfer speed of a 5400
if it was actually running at 16x you would see a HUGE speed increase (4x to 16x) rather than just a small one

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Masterpath Inc, Temecula, CA, USA
I have been a student of MasterPath, a Light and Sound Path for 20 years and have only experienced continued inner realizations of love, joy, serenity ; a deeper being of my true self. I have a deeper understanding and acceptance of the Brother/Sisterhood of men and women and love for all God's Creations. I served closely in the MasterPath Organization and was and continue to be always amazed by the ethical, and pure handling of all affairs, all correspondence and high respect for all students and the public. MasterPath is really an inner path of self and god realization. There is little outer involvement; a few seminars a year. The dues and fees are minimal for the studies one receives. Sri Gary Olsen always states that he is just a wayshower to the inner kingdom of spiritual freedom within each human being. Each becomes one's own master in soul and follows one's own inner path to spiritual freedom here and now. MasterPath teaches the respect for all beliefs religious and spiritual or no belief at all, while guiding those that choose to move inward to the discovery of their own inner temple. I have only experienced great upliftment and become a better human being from following my own light and sound within by the perfect and always loving guidance of Sri Gary and MasterPath teachings. So, I would highly suggest any true spiritual seeker to check it out for oneself.

So many Mirandas/So few Constitution-refits?

Re: So many Mirandas/So few Constitution-refits?
I don't have much to add to the other ongoing discussion regarding the cadet mission, but I would like to point out a line from the original script of "In Thy Image" from before it became TMP.
When Lt. Xon, Spock's replacement, beams on board, he's unrecognizable as a Vulcan. Paraphrasing, Kirk sees Xon's Lieutenant stripes and tells McCoy "He's yours," to which McCoy replies, "He's yours. Vulcans
graduate as Lieutenants." So the it would appear to be the intention that medical officers and Vulcans get to jump straight to lieutenant when they graduate, in the case of medical officers perhaps reflective of additional medical education achieved separately from the Academy. In the case of Vulcans, who knows. Maybe they're able to handle additional honors courses that let them jump. Anyhoo, perhaps this explains Saavik.
OTOH, as others have suggested, perhaps Saavik was a command school cadet, and had already been through the regular Academy?

Wasn't it in "The Battle" that Picard complained, and about the

Regarding that thick hull, if we accept the garage door looking details as hangars, as appears to be the case, she may be more hollow inside than we think.

On the Biotera leave in I started using it straight, but it was too much, I think I do about 50/50, maybe 60 leave-in/40 water. I would say start low and increase as needed. I started too high, so it would have been better if I started low.

Downturn could benefit regional banks
The recommendations established in the Basel II accords hope to ensure banks exposing themselves to greater risk hold greater capital to shield their depositors.
Stacey Vanek-Smith: Of course, AIG's not the only company in major trouble. Washington Mutual and Wachovia have also been named as having grave financial problems. But some regional banks might profit from this downturn. As Rachel Dornhelm reports.
Rachel Dornhelm: Middle-market investment banks are scattered throughout the country, like Piper Jaffrey in Minneapolis and Broadmark Capital in Seattle. And they include commercial banks, like Sun Trust in Atlanta, that jumped into the field when Congress deregulated the industry nine years ago. James Barth with the Milken Institute says they could benefit from New York's financial woes.
James Barth: Obviously, this gives them a greater opportunity to conduct their business when some of the bigger institutions are viewed as quite weak.
But Baruch College finance professor Linda Allen doesn't see a windfall for mid-tier firms.
Linda Allen: If customers are going to be looking to deal with a financial institutions, my feeling is that they're going to prize size even more so after this crisis than before.
Once the dust settles, she says, the remaining big investment banks like Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are likely to pick more business. Allen says they're in a better position to put together the type of financing that had been Lehman Brother's bread and butter.
I'm Rachel Dornhelm for Marketplace.

--Virginia Slim--
Different eyes, the same world
Ancient skin, dirty Indian Girl
Smokey, eyes, exotic raven hair
---Now listen to the colors, of transformation,
On the day she was born, the wind blew in,
A blessing ---her soul, fallen from the heavens
A gorgeous puff of smoke, Miss Virginia Slim
Able to walk the world with an open mind, she twirls
Pocahontas, one of her many names.
She carves, and climbs on trees, this little Indian Girl,
Her feathers ride with the wind, against her red titian skin
Daughter of Chief Powhatan, a powerful tribal, red man
Peace and love with the Indians of her Virginia Lands,
Many myths, many stories, maybe a mad woman,
A new Christian, living sad poverty, a silent hero,
Twisted tales, from savage green to ivory white religion
In her eyes, life never was about greed and skin
Her new look attained an altitude precision
Pocahontas tricked and captured,
Set to sail another tribe, lands were taken over,
Boat sailed out of Virginia Lands
Tribes acclaimed her to be wild and ambitious
"The naughty one," searching for admission
Native American child, before the princess,
Her beautiful soul, a short auspicious beginning
Leaving her world, beautiful and fearless
Forgetting her roots-- From Mother Willow's Vision
Pocahontas, the Indian Legend from, The Virginia Lands

Dedicated to those who work day and night in all kinds of weather to bring us our stuff. We all know we get cranky if we don't get our stuff!
My daddy was a truckin' man, back in '63
hardly ever home with his family of three.
Mostly drivin' Idaho, highway 95.
Drivin' in the winter, hard to stay alive.
He headed up to Grangeville, loaded with some gas
had to cross the twister — dreaded White Bird Pass
Road coiled like a slinky, full of mule-shoe turns.
Wasn't any guard rail then, just some earthen berms.
Middle of a blizzard, wasn't fit for beast nor man.
Daddy had no choice, there was no better plan.
Chained the drivers like he should, headed up the hill.
Taming curves on snow-packed ice, required an iron will.
A mile from the summit, the blizzard took a break
What my daddy saw, surely made him shake.
A wagon full of cub scouts, some mama at the wheel
crossed the line a skiddin' — he likely heard her squeal.
In a fatal instant, a fateful choice he made
he saved a pack of lives, but his truck went o'er the grade.
A jackknifed trailer skidding weighed dang-near fifteen tons
but it saved a tearful mother and dozen mother's sons.
Somehow Daddy managed, to make that truck a dove,
it touched the wagon's bumper, like a gentle velvet glove.
In the mirror he watched, as he headed out of sight,
the wagon gently kissed the uphill bank, ending one bad plight.
The choice he made that day, became my daddy's end.
His truck rolled down the hill, his very final bend.
Now there is a new road, on that very hill
Modern, straighter, safer, because of daddy Bill.
If you're ever out that way, be sure to stop and read the sign:
"A hero lived and died here, way before his time."

"Destroyed By a Poet"
by: Eric L. Boddie
Precious are the words
Only your heart can serve
Every Beautiful thought
Tends to leave us caught
Deeply in the mix
Entertaining the thought of getting a fix
Strong enough to lift
The heart in us all, providing a gift
Relative to what we most desire
One inspiration that takes us so much higher
Your eyes touch this when confronted by the mirror
Every part of you is somehow superior
Rare, Loveable, all things of that such
And the fact of knowing you, to this poet means so much

Ballad of a hero.
There was a man, he had a dog
A Rotty, Broad and tall
With shiny fur and healthy eyes
Oh, he was beautiful
No matter where the good man went
The dog was sure to follow
They often went down to the river
And sat in a little hollow.
One day the man, he slipped and fell
He was swept off by the river
The poor man he had never swam
But the dog, he did decipher
That his master, he was drowning
He knew what he must do
He'd save the man he dearly loved
He jumped in the river too.
This dog called Bear, swam to the man
Who, was just about to drown
He grabbed the man's coat in his jaws
As he was going down
With Dan, our man hugging his neck
Bear swam him back to shore
Then laid there tired, and panting too
Hero, was he, for sure.
Our Bear became a legend, then
Of this little country town
And everyone did make of him
A dog of much renown
They made up songs about the dog
Spoiled him in every way
So like a king, old Bear he lived
Until his dying day.

What will the day bring do we ever know?
Could it be the sun shining bright or flowers that grow
Or maybe a surprise storm that's brewing out there
We just never know, should we always beware?
Is it a chance meeting of a friend or lending a hand?
Or eating a meal that is ever so grand
Is it a work day where everything goes right?
Maybe you saw something that gave you a fright
We just never know from day to day
Maybe it's been a day full of play
Or a full moon lighting your way
As you kneel at bedtime and begin to pray
So when you rise the next day and start your way
Try to do good and don't go astray
You have this one life to do what you can
And hope things turn out the way that you plan.

The Angel We Gave To You...
He could have taken anyone
But no one really knew
Of all the people in this world
God had chosen you
Your little face so beautiful
We loved you from the start
Every tiny part of you
Engraved upon our hearts
Every precious moment
Every hour that you gave
Every time we held you
Was a precious memory made
We'll never see you smile
We will never watch you grow
Which makes the time we had with you
More precious that you know
Everyday we'll send you
Love and kisses up above
For nothing's greater in this world
Than mummy and daddy's love
In times of pain and sadness
When we feel all hope is gone
We'll know that in your sister, and our hearts
You will live on
And when we go to bed each night
We'll close our eyes and pray
We'll put our hands together
And this to God we'll say
"You've taken someone special
Who we love more than you know
So brave, but very fragile
So with you she had to go
Please wrap her in your tender arms
And love her like we do
And cherish every moment
The Angel…we gave to you"

Sammy Taylor was a good kid, as everyone could see
He was destined for greatness unknown to you and me.
From the hills of West Virginia, a place called Whittlers' Bend.
He left one day in '66 never to return again.
Folks all remember Sammy for the goodness in his soul.
A smile and sparkle in his eyes glittered just like gold.
Sammy considered all the people as family to him.
When he was called to fight for peace in a place called simply, 'Nam'.
He grew up a hunter and loved his fishin' too
So things the outdoors offered Sammy weren't all that new.
'Nam' was not the West Virginia Mountains that he knew.
The morning he woke up on a hill called 14 Blue.
Charlie had been active there just the day before
And signs that he was very close could not be ignored.
While all remained quiet throughout that August day
Little did anybody know that night would bring hell to pay.
It was just about a quarter to three, and all was strangely quiet,
When the chatter of an M16 broke the silence of the night.
There was a pop and then a flare gave vision to the night….
A voice was heard to say, "Charlie's on his way and he's coming here to fight."
Now, Sammy had already seen his share of hell on earth
And Charlie's demons gave him one more chance to prove his worth.
A dedicated VC soldier was always an awesome foe
But nothing will surpass the courage Sammy would soon show.
Sammy found himself in front of an insane VC charge
He barely had the time to yell, "They're comin', Look Out, Sarge!"
A VC grenade proved to be his last courageous test
When a West Virginia mountain boy covered it with his chest.
Now, there's a house in Whittlers' Bend with a medal on a wall.
But the plaque hanging there beside it cannot tell it all---
How Sammy Taylor went outside, one morning, just to play,
Then, some years later, gave his all, in a place so far away.
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
John 15:13

The man called Robert Lindley
I received a book one day
From a man who'd messaged me
He'd said he knew me by my poems
A fine poet that I be
He would like to send this book
He'd owned for forty years
It was a book by Frank Stanton
A poet he held dear.
He told me I write like this man
And this book it should be mine
Now I did hardly know this guy
This made me feel so fine
For never in my whole long life
Had I ever known such kindness
So I was overwhelmed for sure
I really must confess.
Now I have this book he owned
And I really must admit
That when I looked at franks sweet poems
My style it was a bit
Like his, and I must thank my friend
For sending me his gift
For every time I read his poems
My heart they seem to lift
Now I never will forget
This man who is my friend
His name is Robert Lindley
And I never intend
To let this kind act of his
Ever leave my mind
Robert is the sweetest man
A man so very kind.

For the love of Princess Rose.
Way back in the darkest times
There lived a wondrous Knight
He had blue eyes, and a handsome face
And his mind was very bright
He lived for goodness, his ideals
Were the highest in the land
And everybody loved this knight
They thought him mighty grand.
He shrunk from no one in the land
He'd fought ten dragons too
As he vied for the love of Princess Rose
Oh, he loved her so true
Yet she was loved by another knight
And so they had to fight
That was the way in those dark days
It was considered right
A tournament it was arranged
And the two men faced each other
Both swore that until the end
They would never love another
The fight was on, as Rose, she watched
The man she loved so much
Fight a man she could not bear
Who her heart did not touch.
Now Don, he was the Knight of choice
He fought like a blessed demon
He was not an evil man
Yet he was filled with Venom
And when the fight was over with
Her knight of choice did win
As love did conquer everything
And the princess married him.

I woke watching television news
The jet plane is soaring high note
Operation Sulu is launched forth
Until the intruders to get out
Malaysia always chose to peace
Come and let us all save peace
Philippines is wanting peace
For Sulu Archipelago is its part to ease
Sulu Royal Army chose to enter because of peace
They call homeland in the book pages
They decide to stay and die never ended
Many see this is not a good choice
But for them this is a pride to hold and take
Come and let us all save peace
For Malaysia also has to protect its state
Its sovereignty whether lives at stake
It has chosen the space to negotiate
And has given the time to withdraw in peace
But the "intruders" is hard to take the leave
Come and let us all save peace
Many children cried
Much wives shed tears
Every Mothers weep
Their love ones died but with pride
Our prayers to put ahead their faith
Come and let us all save peace
The eyes of the world where are you?
The humanitarian aid you have to do
Don't you see the lives are here waiting?
The civilians need your helping
Do not wait until the time lapse to nothing
Come and let us all save peace and do something.
Come and let us all save peace
Take part and let us all save peace
Pray and let us all save peace
Where are you peace activists?
Come and let us all save peace
Let us all save peace!
This is the day that Malaysian Forces conducted "Ops Sulu" to drive the group from Sulu that recently entered Tandu', Lahad Datu, Sabah. 12:41PM, 5th March 2013, Bandar Sandakan, Sabah, Malaysia.

Preeminent is the birth of Christ.
We worship his life and seek his devise…
His dominant presence arises.
Aroused is our spirit.
Our soul is incandescent.
We are obligatory to the glory of God.
Luminescent is the essence of The Holy Scripture.
We sing gloriously.
We pulsate victoriously.
The Gospel is our voice harmonically.
Christ died on Calvary.
Hoisted to achieve amazing deeds, our life is a radiance of Heaven's lights.
We worship the life of Christ.
Ascendant to prophesy of the world, peace is influential while war destroys.
Famine is metaphorically dumbfounded for the knowledge of God's apostles.
Walk in rightful luminosity.
Insofar, your life is brilliance perceived.
We shout gloriously.
We pine exultantly.
The Gospel is our harmonic expression.
Christ died for our salvation.
Today we praise Christ, the Son.
Today we praise God, the Father.
One does not supersede the other.
Thru the Holy Spirit, we thump.
Through the Holy Spirit, God sends his Son.
The beat of our heart pounds in prayer as we bow.
Knees bent, by all means, amidst effervescent shimmering.
Croon praise!
Beatify the Lord's way!
Our reliance is devoted to the Gospel resonated!
In mantra fortifies giving the highest praise to the life of Christ!
Refrain via song augments the Father and the Son.
Thru the Holy Spirit, we thump.
Through the Holy Spirit, God sends his Son.
The beat of our heart pounds in prayer as we bow.
Knees bent, by all means, amidst effervescent shimmering.

I have lived,
And felt the cost,
Paid my dues,
But I have lost_ You.
Still I pray,
As chaos looms,
And as my blue turns into grey,
I hear__
The angels sing- In tune.
Don't be giving in,
Don't give up my son,
Or fade away,
Lift your chin with the sun__ And rise,
With this new day!.
I have lived,
And felt the cost of all my wonderin ways,
I've paid my dues,
I - Have lost you.
I can hear the angels sing,
Your in a mistaken land__ Lessons learned in truth,
As the grey seeks out the blue,
She will__ Your daughter my son---
She will return--- To You.
For I have lived,
Felt the cost of all my walkin days,
I've paid my dues,
I- Lost you....
I wont be giving in,
Won't give up my girl,
Or fade away,
I'll lift my chin with the sun---
And RISE--
With this new day...

American dust off crews
I served some time in Vietnam
As a medic I performed
And saw some things to make me think
As I suppose would be the norm.
But the thing that did impress me most
Were those dust off crews I saw
They hailed from the USA, did they
They were the best for sure.
They were the bravest of the brave
They seemed to have no fear
They'd go where others feared to tread
And lord, they drank some beer
So often I'd get drunk with them
We'd have a grand old time
Back there in that long gone year
Of nineteen sixty nine.
Those lads would put themselves in danger
No matter what the score
They will have my admiration
From now till evermore.
For many men were saved by them
{God bless them every one}
As we served, us our two countries
Neath that hazy Asian sun
I have an addiction...
It dont matter what time of day it is my addiction is there...
Not always in the literall since...
But it is always on my mind...
I lay my head down to sleep at night thinking about you...
I sleep dreaming about you...
I wake up thinking about you...
Your always on my mind...
No matter what I do my addiction is always on my mind...
Even if your not the last one I talk to before I lay my head down to sleep...
I still lay my head down thinking of you...
I just cant get enought of you...
No matter what my addiction is there...
My addiction has a name...
Her name is Shelby Nestle...
No matter how much we text or talk on the phone...
Its never enough...
I cant get enough of your beautiful eyes...
I cant get enough of that beautiful smile...
I cant get enough of kissing your soft lips...
That feeling I get inside when our lips touch...
Or holding you in my arms...
This is a new addiction to me...
Never have I been this addicted this quick...
It scares the shyt outta me...
But then I love it...
You are my new addiction baby...
You are my...
My heroin...
My ecstacy...
My cocaine...
You are my own personal drug...
I cant imagine and addiction stronger...
You are my addiction...
I wouldnt even think about trying to break this addiction...
I wouldnt go to rehab for this addiction...
I like it to much...

I pray for the day,
That my sweet child comes home,
To my loving arms,
So, I can love and hold them tightly,
Each and everyday of their lives,
To be there for them and guide them,
As they learn to grow,
Into a wonderful adult,
That I know they will become,
For they have such a wonderful heart,
And as people will see them grow each year,
Learning along their way,
Having their own imagination,
To shine and guide them,
To be a very unique person of their own,
But they are already very different,
In many different ways,
By their looks and their loving heart,
And of course being very smart,
Their beauty will shine,
In many different ways,
Both inside and out,
And I pray for the day,
They will come home,
To stop these painful, loving tears.

The Ballad of Tich Tomas
A dog was howling in the night
Perhaps she knew the truth
That Tich would not be coming home
This dog needed no proof
That the man who she loved so
He'd come to her no more
Because Lance corporal Thomas was
A victim of the war.
Now Tich, he was a country boy
His farm it was his life
A boon to his community
He'd give in times of strife
He learned his trade in farming school
With honours he'd come through
Then settled down to work his farm
That's what he planned to do.
But then, one day it came to him
The news he did not need
He'd been called up for army life
He went off without heed
To do his time in Puckapunyal
To get him set for war
He soon made it as Infanteer
So he joined a fighting corp
He worked real hard and gained a stripe
This showed he had potential
He earned his skills in jungle fighting
And then there came the call
For he to go to Vietnam
To five RAR he was sent
Charlie company was his unit
When off to war he went
It was in April sixty six
Our man went into battle
There in the Phuc Tuy provence
Those guns did roar and rattle
Our Tich he fought real gallantly
So brave was he, but then
The shrapnel done it's evil job
He joined the fallen men.
They brought his body back to those
Who were waiting for him there
The whole town came to welcome him
And helped with grief and prayer
They buried him with all the honours
That came to fighting souls
Who died to keep their country free
Courageous in their roles.
More honour it was placed on him
By the country where he'd fought
They built a statue in his name
And his likeness it was caught
By the sculptor who did honour him
And carve him into stone
And now Tich Tomas guards the park
As he stands there all alone.
If you're ever down in Nannup town
Go to the park that's there
You'll see the statue of young Tich
As his spirit everywhere
Will fill the souls of those who see
This fighting man, so brave
Who's body lies so peacefully
In his own town, in a grave.
Surrounded by heavy tomes
Chronicling the history of
countless generations
One can only feel a sense of
awe that the weight of
the past has upon the living
A brief look around me
allows me to see the coming generation
Working diligently
to achieve their goals
What will become of these youth
in the next few years?
Some may die fighting on foreign shores
Otheres will die young due to bad habits
Some may achieve great success
Picking up my pen
I try to evoke the scene in the library
of the Borough of Manhattan Community College
Where many different
Merge into a quilt of hope!

Tribute to Bob Dylan
I remember well when I was young
And music was my thing
There was Billy, Elvis Cliff Richard
And to me these guys did bring
Wonderful moments in my life
As I bought all of their stuff
But then this other guy came out
And Lord, that was enough
My interest it went to him
Who changed the status Quo
His name it was Bob Dylan
And me I watched him grow
From a young folk star, to a rock legend
He did change music's face
As he prophesized some potent things
That would touch the human race.
He told us in his screaming voice
[As he played his mystic role]
That all the sons and daughters
Would be out of our control
He sang of the whole world changing
And I'm seeing that come true
Oh Yes, that old Bob Dylan
I loved what he did do.
They're everywhere
These pretty little creatures
On the serpent road to Exmouth
They be some of the features
Along with Emus, Kangaroos
And handsome birds of prey
These little goats be bountiful
They're all along the way.
They be domestic goats
Who've gone back to the wilds
Where they have bred one million fold.
As one moves along the miles
These little goats be seen so much
In their many shades and hues
Don't know where they got their water
It be tough country too.
The weather here be hot and dry
As the sun bakes everything
And mostly here no rain does fall
To drinking water bring.
And yet these goats look healthy as
Such nimble little beasts
You'd see some dead there in the road
As the crows do have their feast.
That be the price of progress
That poor beasts have to die
That be the curse of human beings
Sometimes it makes me cry
Yet still they be so plentiful
These handsome little guys
Another little part of nature
That make love in me rise.
Antarctica (Ernest Shackleton tribute)
To your shores came as a pilgrim
Knowing that I wasn't welcome
All I wanted was to walk
Across your land of ice and rock
But you trapped my ship in ice
Blew cold winds into my eyes
Wanted me to pay the price
Hardship'n' pain did not suffice
I won't give up! No, I won't stop!
On the wings of faith and hope
Between sky and endless depth
I'll walk the line of life and death
My chances aren't of greatest height
To save the lives you tried to smite
You've gotta know I'm gonna fight
As it's my duty and it's my right!

Hey, how are you
Have you heard this one?
Where there's a midnight sun
Listen to me now,
Listen up young one
One day I left someone
Where did you say
you were going?
She looked so sad
with her tears showing
showing her a map of you,
around the world to you,
flying so fast at you,
I left my Papua New Guinea,
my home sweet home for you.
So... like déjàvu,
You look so...
Do I know you?
No, don't say no...
I know you!
you were in my dreams
You know that moment,
when you see her,
the light,
that shines,
that lifts you high
into outer space so high
oh how I longed for you,
Just you and me,
your seasons, my wonder..
I wonder when thunders,
remind my mind,
my sleeping child,
suddenly awake,
But Nova's away..
They say people say,
you'd miss home,
you'll miss POM..
you said no,
No, No, No
you'll be home
From winter to Autumn
Just you and I
you'll be fine
So when the leaves fall,
Or when snow falls,
Remember me,
Remember us,
Our time, may be dying,
Maybe someday I'll find,
My child no child,
and the sun so fine,
I'll be home bound,
To my Ocean playground..

I'm just a sputtering old fool,
Muttering old school rules,
When times made more sense,
And neighbors were your friends.
Now trapped by utter frailty,
And fear of today's reality,
My moistened eyes fasten,
Upon the new age reaction.
No longer do we aspire,
No longer do we inspire,
Religious or national pride,
For now we must take it all in stride.
That which can utterly,
Steal pride in God and country...
Oh I'm a sputtering old fool,
Just muttering old school rules.
You open doors and say Mamm',
You do everything you can,
You give to the poor and especially,
Love your neighbors, friends and family.
For it is in giving all that you have,
Caring, sharing and loving all you can,
Which tells the greatest story about you,
And lives on in heraldry and tribute.

Yeah Im living in a souless society,
My people keep doing each other wrong so much its hard to get right with me,
Its so dark with alcoholic violence that I can no longer see the light in me,
Survival of the fittest I am no longer because there remains almost no fight in me,
I struggle with death around one in all forms of variety,
I am so low at times that there can be no one high as me,
A lot of non-sense for my body I keep buying me,
at the same time my own people keep fighting me,
but its time I just say "**** it"
and kick all that *****to the curve away in the bucket,
I hate the truth so much that I start to love it,
Creating a mind full of knowledge gold, a mind full of many nuggets,
Now its time I face my own truth even if my own people lie to me,
I can and I will overcome this souless price that seems too pricey,
**** all that bull-*****I will rise out my own souless society

Termite Country
We're heading north to Exmouth,
Carnarvon we've just passed.
We be driving up a serpent road,
As the country seems so vast.
It's hot outside, but in this van,
The air cons on and all,
As all along the road we pass,
Little goats, so beautiful….
And everywhere, most endlessly,
There's a billion termite mounds.
Like baked brown little mountains,
They're everywhere around.
We stopped near one, I marveled,
That a tiny beast, and blind!
Could build these blessed monuments,
It nearly blew my mind.
I took me then some photographs
Of these engineering feats,
As I let the awe and wonder,
Into my dull mind seep.
In such a vast, still country,
In the silence of the way,
Those mounds stood out so powerful,
In the heat of a sunburned day.
On solid familiar fertile ground
My humbled set of feet stand
I work diligently avoiding demand
Total Independence, I tried and found
Trials and problems, I did mount
Indeed like a boxer, I pound and been pound
A fight not in ring but on land
There are teardrops in my eyes
There are laughter and smiles you saw
There are shoutouts I said in law
There are memories I leave raw
Who will come to cherish these?
Who will come to pass these?
Who will come and do the same?
Not for money, power or fame

The soul of the virgin
Our Virgin is so practical
So critical she be
She's always hard upon herself
Her words come loose and free
If she thinks that you have let her down
She'll tell you this is so
She's very clever with her hands
And she really likes to know.
She does her best in everything
Meticulous is she
She be one of the clever ones
She's kind and she will be
A boon to anyone who needs her
She's so dependable
She can't abide in ugliness
Of any kind at all.
She has a downer on herself
She thinks she is not liked
She analyzes everything
She can look into your psyche
She won't be fooled by anyone
And she worries about her health
Just to get to know this lady
Is a valid source of wealth.
12 August 2013 2 1300hrs.
The sunny soul of the lion.
Our lady of the sun
Never humble, she's so proud
She loves to organize, and plan
She's the Queen, this speaks so loud
To be her friend, gain her respect
And never let her down
She's lovely when she's happy
But please don't make her frown.
Creative is her manner
She like to stand right out
When she's there in any place
She'll leave you with no doubt
As to who is going to run the show
But she's very good at it
Anywhere this lady be
She'll help out quite a bit.
Her sunny personality
Will get her liked by most
But she can be over bearing
And though she's warm as toast
When she's got a down on you
You'll learn a heap on wrath
When that ladies on to you
You'll do anything but laugh.

Here's to John and Carla
Here's the story of John Sherman
He was born there, in New Jersey
In the year of forty two
A wild, wild man was he
Con man, thief and activist
He was chased by the FBI
He was on their top ten list
One day they caught this guy.
They placed him, when they caught him
In a high security jail
They considered him to be
A very dangerous male
He escaped their prison, twice did he
When they caught up with him
They kept him jailed for eighteen years
And made his life so grim.
One day the Buddhists came to visit
And then this man was hooked
His manner changed he grew real calm
As at himself he looked
He delved down to his deepest depths
And experienced a thing
That gave him peace, and harmony
And made his whole world sing.
Just like everything in life
His peace it did not last
His mind went kind of crazy then
And his misery was vast
And so he turned to Ramana
A saint from India
As he asked the question 'Am I here'?
Something within did stir.
His world became a heaven then
He'd learned the truth at last
He conquered all his fear of life
And the sweetness it was vast
When they let him out of Jail
He married his sweet wife
And he and Carla ran a site
To help folk through their strife.
They run a site called 'Just one look'
Where they teach many folk
How to rid their lives of fear
And though he's always broke
He and his wife do carry on
Trying to help folk, in their plight
As they too look within their depths
And find themselves that light
They have worked with many folk
And lot do claim success
As they ask the question 'Am I here'
And many can attest
That they now live all free of fear
And as his work goes on
So many will agree with them
When all their fears are gone.
I speak from my own story
When I tell this thing to you
If you do suffer misery
Then here's the thing to do
Get in touch with John, and Carla
And let them take you to
A space where fear does not exist
It works I'm telling you.
13 February 2014 @ 0955hrs.
Isolated corners all in sound symmetry
such perfection, a creation to contemplate
the science among science, absolute chemistry
nature at its impetus, ushers to initiate
In accordance with implied social dissonance
the law states balance within its inherent course
as bars of gold shimmering on such elegance
kept and hidden down below to the very source
The intermittence of a fraction can collapse a whole
like gulls predicting low clouds, squalls of driving rain
a calamity to the inexorable
the inevitable, Earth's worst tormenting bane
Containing equilibrium's an arduous task
a significant factor man must not neglect
free will's an obligation, with no questions asked
at someone's beck and call, a stronghold to protect

Seahawks make yet another trek to Chicago
CHICAGO - Sunday: Seattle (6-5) at Chicago (8-3)
Kickoff: 10 a.m.
Where: Soldier Field
Radio: 710 AM, 97.3 FM
The series: The Seahawks own a 9-4 edge in the series, winning five of the last seven games dating back to 1999. he Bears eliminated the Seahawks from the playoffs in two of their last three appearances, including a 35-24 win at Soldier Field on Jan. 16, 2011 in the NFC divisional playoffs. Seattle won the last meeting in the regular season, 38-14 on Dec. 18, 2011 at Soldier Field.
What to watch: Veteran defensive back Marcus Trufant is doubtful because of a hamstring injury suffered during Thursday's practice, so third-year pro Walter Thurmond likely will see his first action of 2012 as Seattle's fifth defensive back. Defensive end Red Bryant (foot), linebacker Leroy Hill (ankle) and receiver Sidney Rice (calf) are all questionable for Seattle. ... Quarterback Russell Wilson led the NFL with a 128.6 passer rating in November. He had a rating of at least 125 or better in all three November starts, the first rookie ever to do that in three straight starts. ... Reserve Seahawks offensive lineman Frank Omiyale plays against his former team for the first time since joining Seattle in free agency this past offseason. Omiyale started 31 games in his three seasons with the Bears. He started a game at left tackle earlier this season for Seattle against Dallas when Russell Okung was out with a bone bruise on his knee. ... Chicago cornerback Charles Tillman (foot), running back Matt Forte (ankle) and linebacker Lance Briggs (ankle) are expected to play. Bears return man Devin Hester (concussion) and former Seahawk Chris Spencer (knee) have been ruled out.
The pick: Bears, 17-14.
Chicago Bears head coach Lovie Smith has a standing invitation from Pete Carroll to bring his team to the Pacific Northwest, but for the past three seasons the Seattle Seahawks have found themselves travelling to the Windy City.
Smith likes it just fine that the Seahawks are travelling to his place for a third straight season, becoming an honorary member of the NFC North.
"I would assume Pete would want us to, but we like the confines of Soldier Field just a little bit better," Smith said with a laugh.
Soldier Field could be the cure to what ails Seattle on the road. At 6-5 and on the cusp of making the playoffs, the Seahawks continue to be a mystery on the road, with a 1-5 record away from CenturyLink Field. All of Seattle's losses have been one-possession games.
Soldier Field has been a home away from home for the Seahawks, with the team winning their last two regular-season contests here.
"We have found some success," Carroll said. "We know how to travel there, and we know what it takes. And we'll try to bank on that the best we can and make the most of it."
One of the things Seattle will lean on against the Bears is running back Marshawn Lynch. The Cal product has been held to an average of 43 yards a contest in the last two games against the Bears. However, Lynch did score three touchdowns in the contests, and helps create balance for Seattle's offense.
Lynch had a streak of four straight games rushing for over 100 yards broken against Miami last week, when he totaled only 46 yards against the Dolphins.
Even with their struggles running the ball against Miami, the Seahawks are still No. 8 in the league, averaging 138 rushing yards a contest.
"We are a running team," Seattle offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said. "We run the ball well, but it sets up a lot of other things for us. To have Marshawn Lynch and to be able to hand him the ball, it helps a lot of things."
While Lynch remains the Seahawks' identity, creating turnovers has become Chicago's calling card. The Bears lead the league with 33 turnovers, including 20 interceptions.
Through 11 games, Chicago has returned an impressive seven interceptions for touchdowns.
"If you just look at the turnover ratio and how important it is each game, you can see why we put so much of an emphasis on it," Smith said. "That's just who we are, that's the core, that's our DNA. We just feel like it's not a good defensive game unless we can take the ball away."
While the Bears specialize in forcing turnovers, the Seahawks have done a good job of taking care of the ball lately. Seattle has not turned the ball over in three games.
"Everything that I do I'm telling everybody high and tight and just making sure that we're putting the ball away," Wilson said. "I have to do a great job of it, and the same as the rest with the rest of the guys.
"At the same time you can't play scared. You have to play fast and play your game, but just be conscience of it during the week. Our defense is tremendous at it as well so going against them every single day really prepares us for these types of games."
Carroll also will face a familiar foe across the field in Jeremy Bates, Chicago's passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Bates served as Seattle's offensive coordinator in Carroll's first year in Seattle. Carroll let him go at the end of the 2010 season because of personal differences.
Bates re-joins Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall, whom he coached while in Denver.
"There are some more visible things in their passing game that were specific to that time," Carroll said. "Jeremy had a lot of success with those guys then and you can see the same success that they're having now."

Long after her "Mickey Mouse Club" days, is Britney Spears finally headed back to TV? The pop superstar is reportedly nearing a deal to become a new judge on Simon Cowell's "The X Factor," The Hollywood Reporter revealed.
According to a THR inside source, Spears' fiance Jason Trawick is negotiating the final contract, which could be signed as soon as next week.
In January, "The X Factor" axed judges Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger and host Steve Jones from the Fox singing competition series.
If Spears joins Cowell and the only other remaining judge, LA Reid at the judges' table, that leaves one more seat to fill for Season 2 of the struggling singing competition. LeAnn Rimes is reportedly in talks to judge "The X Factor," while Janet Jackson has officially declined her participation in the show.
Scherzinger recently told "Access Hollywood" that she was completely committed to the show during Season 1. "Well, all I know is that I gave 110 percent to that show," she said. "I know everybody's talking about it. They're saying good, bad, they love me or hate me, but the one thing you can't say is that I didn't give it my all."
Scherzinger was originally tapped to co-host the series alongside Jones. Bwhen British singer Cheryl Cole was abruptly fired as a judge, Scherzinger took her place at the table, and Jones was then left as the lone host of "The X Factor."
"I loved being a part of my 'X Factor' family," Scherzinger said. "Nothing could obviously prepare me for everything I had to go through, all the emotions and stuff, but I have no regrets."
Though no official replacements have been named, that didn't stop HuffPost TV from naming a few people we think would do well on the show in February, Britney Spears included.
Check out our casting suggestions in this gallery, and share your own in the comments.
The voluptuous R&B singer would be a bombshell addition to "The X Factor" judges panel, an A-list acquisition that could provide the same kind of buzz that "American Idol" enjoyed after J.Lo came on board. Carey, who's been a long-rumored target on Simon Cowell's "X Factor" short-list, could capably fill the flightiness void left by Paula Abdul's departure. As Wendy Williams quipped, "Mariah's crazy 24/7 ... and I love it."
Sure, he's going to appeal to the older crowd who remember his long reign as the king of accessible piano pop, but Sir Elton is so mega-rich and successful that he doesn't have to mince words or mind his manners. Yes, "X Factor" already has one acerbic Brit, but how about adding one with an eye-popping wardrobe and an actual musical talent?
Reege! Let's face facts, "X Factor" has been a ratings disappointment and can't be picky about who its viewers are. Why not blatantly appeal to the aunt-and-granny brigade by adding one of our favorite daytime dudes to the mix! Regis is a lively pro who knows how to add a bit of fun to whatever he's part of, and since he left daytime TV, it's not like he's fully booked up.
If "X Factor" wants to compete with the current artists judging and mentoring over at "The Voice," Lady Gaga would be an amazing get. After all, who else better to walk the wide-eyed contestants through the glamming-up process that comes with fame?
Need a judge who brings star power, has a glam presence and likes to stir things up? Her Madgesty fits the bill in every respect. Still mega-competitive after all these years, Madonna wouldn't let those trying to usurp her pop-diva throne get away with shoddy performances, and her putdowns would likely be a thing of beauty.
Mike Rowe is one of the most genuinely entertaining hosts on TV, and after this "X Factor" bloodbath, they'll need someone used to cleaning up "Dirty Jobs" to help steer the ship. Bonus: He's a classically-trained opera singer, so he can offer musical expertise on top of his sense of humor, timing and handsome good looks.
If Simon Cowell wants to put a pop megastar behind the judges' table, then look no further than the princess of pop, Britney Spears. Sure, she's had a rough couple of years, but Brit Brit never stopped selling albums. Now, she's healthy, happy and in need of a serious pop culture comeback of epic proportions. What better way than to be a judge on "The X Factor?" We can't see the Femme Fatale being too critical, but she'll bring a nice positive balance to the mix. Think Paula Abdul on Season 1 of "American Idol." Also, the Britney Spears vs. Christina Aguilera rivalry would live on, with Xtina on the NBC's "The Voice." We love some good smack talk.
This could be just the thing to break Seal out of his post-marriage-breakup doldrums. He's familiar with the music biz, too, so he may be able to provide some actual insight.
Lance Bass would have a lot going for him as a judge on "The X Factor." The former member of *NYSNC knows what it takes to make it in the music business, and after getting extensive NASA training for a space mission that never happened, he'll have the skills to deal with Simon Cowell's planet-sized ego.
Can you imagine Cher and Simon Cowell clashing on a twice-weekly basis? Think about it. Plus, Cher's working on a new album, "The X Factor" would be a perfect way for old and new fans to get a sample of what Cher has to offer.
Rachel Crow's run as a contestant "The X Factor" ended with the 14-year-old singer collapsed on the stage in tears, raising questions about whether the rigors of reality talent competitions should be inflicted upon minors. What better way to answer those criticisms than to have Crow herself return as a judge and kids' coach?
When "American Idol" auditions hit Savannah, GA. on the current season, Sean Kraisman emerged as Ryan Seacrest 2.0. He could have easily won the role of America's New Top Ryan so why not give him a hosting opportunity, especially if "The X Factor" really wants to compete with "Idol"? His voice could trick someone into thinking he was Seacrest, even though his singing was god-awful.
This teen troublemaker would contribute something essential to the 'X-Factor' judging panel: youth. Not to mention she's been straying towards the 'bad girl' side of things lately, and hey, every show needs a bit of controversy.
We would tune in every week if Queen Latifah could provide a little taste of her own individual sass on the judging panel. Isn't it about time we had a strong female judge with something definitive to say instead of endless, pointless rambling?
Blake Shelton may be the country king of NBC's "The Voice," but his wife Miranda Lambert, a country superstar herself, is just as hysterical and twangy as him. We'd love to see a healthy rivalry between husband and wife. Also, it's about time for Simon Cowell to start embracing country music, and Miranda would be the perfect judge to show him just how tough -- and stubborn -- country girls can be. Something tell us that she wouldn't put up with Simon and L.A.'s cattiness.
The legendary diva would bring a lot of cred to "The X Factor" judges table. With her years of experience and countless hits under her belt, something tells us Tina wouldn't be afraid to tell contestants like it is.
If "The X Factor" wants to crush it's competition in the demo (and appeal to a younger audience), then they need to enlist some help from the ultimate teen charmer, Darren Criss. We know that he can sing and dance -- any self-described Gleek will tell you that -- but Darren also has enough charisma to outshine Ryan Seacrest any day of the week. He's goofy, incredibly good-looking and he's already on Fox! Not to mention he'll attract millions of young fans to the somewhat stale reality show. Simon would be a fool not to let Darren host.
JBJ has been rocking for almost three decades -- with 11 Bon Jovi albums and two solo albums under his belt -- and he's dabbled in acting over the years as well. We think he could bring that wisdom to "X Factor," and maybe help impart the idea of stage presence to the performers before this show goes down in an inglorious blaze.

Hi chaps
As above really. I want to get a footy game for the 3ds. Having looked online it would seem more people rate PES 13 then Fifa 13 on the 3ds. Anyone of you fine chaps played both or even one of them and can offer some advice.

1997 BMW 540i • V8 2WD Automatic • 130,000 miles
I have been trying to find rhyme or reason as to what or when this happens but I can find none. Frequency at least once a week. When driving at steady speed usually between 30 -40 mph car starts 'hunting' for gears bouncing back and forth on RPMs and eventually with a big thud goes into failsafe mode. Turn it off let it sit. Then its ok. Sometimes. Sometimes it take a little while to go back to normal. Rest of the time works great maybe little slippage from 1-2. I am thinking it is not mechanical since its not all the time. Oh yeah and ASC, engine light and abs light all constant on

The problem is what is called pendulum shifting. 24-07-98 is the BMW bulletin regarding the issue, it will require the EGS to be reprogrammed to update the software. The ASC/DSC ABS issue is most probably the control module has an internal fault, it is common and the repair usually requires replacement of the control module. Whew. Having spoke the party line I can now tell you in plain english what this means and what to do. The Electronic Gear Select (or whatever EGS means in German) is the brain for the transmission, it will require updating the software to correct the problem, at 130k I would also not be against a recommendation of replacement of the filter and the fluid. This operation is somewhat expensive due to the cost of the fluid, and it is special fluid that is unique to the transmission used in that car. It will prolong the service life. The ASC/DSC ABS issue might be a little bit more difficult to take due to the cost of the replacement unit and the need to code the unit to the car. Realoem. Com sells them for a kings ransom, no fault of their own, they are just super pricey. And the part will be unique to the car and its productin date. The last 7 of the VIN will assist in this identification process. There are alternatives, let me know what you decide to do, I will be in the area all day, at ease and as you were! (Military humor, if there is such a thing?)
Roger, That is the best explanation I have had. Thank you. So is this something I can do myself (the reprogramming) or do I need to go to BMW. Again thank you. You mention alternatives to the ASC problem. Any hints?

You are going to have to seek out a repair facility (perhaps the dealer.) To have this reprogramming completed. As to the ASC/DSC issue, send me an email @ pghagerty@aol. Com and include a phone number, I hate trying to type all of that, if you know what I mean.
