Introduction: Our real problem is, "Will we ever be able to learn who our true,
real self really is?" Being true to and with ourselves is that thing which is the
most important in the makeup of our whole mental mind as well as balance.
The suicide death of Robin Williams and a comment about living behind a
mask made by an Isle of Man beauty have served as the inspiration for writing
this poem.
Our True, Real Self
It may change time to time and is in constant flight,
And of the fact, we should never, ever lose sight
That God is true and for us His huge help is here;
Believe in and always know He is close ad near.
Many times God, myself, I so often will ask:
" Why am I wearing and behind a mental mask?"
Trying to hide true self and me that You made,
Who often loved so simply to sit in the shade.
My life is over and done which was much fun;
I am a memory for my fans who won't forget me
And free at last in heaven, a far better place to be;
Where again someday, you can laugh along with me.

My hands and feet are numb
for I am cold and I have no
home to give me warmth.
A home and warmth are two
things I search for that is why
people call me a bum.
I have not eaten but I have
prayed and my prayers have
not yet been answer for I have
not eaten in days.
So I'll just lay in my place of
sleep and pray once more as I
search for warmth, for I have
found my home, The streets.

Dedicated to my Dad Jerry W. Niday 3/20/1952 - 6/18/2013
I am who I am because of him
He's the reason for my son's name
He gave me my courage & my strength
To stand tall even when standing wasn't easy
Stand for the ones who can't
To think and fend for myself
I'm my Daddy made over
Taught me to fight back
To never back down
How to pick myself back up
When I've been knocked down
Fight for what I believe
I'm my Daddy made over
He gave me my stubbornness
Gave me my pride
Gave me my temper
Taught me not to take crap
To speak my mind no matter who
Work for what I want
I'm my Daddy made over
How to keep my emotions in check
How to handle large amounts of pain
When in trouble he always had my back
He knew how my mind worked better than anyone
I got it from him
I'm my Daddy made over
Even though he's gone
I'll stand and continue on
I may stumble I may fall
May even get hurt along the way
But I'll pick myself back up
I'll dust myself off and stand tall
I'm honored and proud to say
I'm my Daddy made over

In the middle of my plain white wall
There is a plain white window
And next to my plain white window
Is where I sit in a plain white dress
On a plain white chair
And every morning the sun rises
And every evening the sun sets
I see them all from my window
They are very pretty
With many colors
And then one day
A man stops by my window
He calls to me as I sit
In my plain white dress
On my plain white chair
He calls to me to tell me of the world
That I may come and join him
But I have seen the troubles of the world
All beyond my window
And I say to him I'd rather stay
And sit here by my window
Where troubles cannot reach me
He smiles a sweet sad smile as he walks away
Though the next day he is back again
And he talks to me of grass
Of green lush grass that is soft enough to walk on barefoot
I tell him of the glass that is hidden among the blades
He just smiles a sweet sad smile as he walks away
And back again he comes
To tell me of the ocean and sandy beaches
With white sand so pure you can lay naked upon it
I shake my head and tell of the pirates
That come to kidnap young and pretty girls
He smiles his sweet sad smile as he walks away
The next day he walks softly to my window
And he tells me of a garden untouched by men
Where flowers are the size of children
And blooms reach to the heavens
He tells me of the grass that hides no glass
Of a sky that is of the brightest blue
And a stream that is so pure you can
Be unwary of drinking from it
He talks of fish and birds of indescribable beauty
All this he tells me is mine
I must only leave my window and I may see it
I shake my head sadly as I tell him
I am afraid the world holds too much danger
For even if there were such a place
What misfortunes may befall me
On my way to this so called garden
He smiles a very sad smile and as he walks away
He says that paradise belongs to those who
Take risks and battle hardships to reach it
These are the words I remember as I watch the sun set
And the next day when he comes
To my plain white window
He will see me missing in my plain white dress
On an empty plain white chair
For I have gone to walk on glass and battle pirates
On my way to paradises garden

Winds may howl,
Wild animals growl,
The forest grows cold,
For I am lonesome and old
As the sun peaks through the clouds,
I hear your soft, young voice so loud!
And though you speak dead man's lines,
You speak them with majesty divine
As I am wrapped in my woe,
I only want you to know...
...that roses die black and violets lose blue,
But I will never die
And you know I love you!

Note:***This poem is meant to be read from the bottom to the top, left to right
Never Again
and you remain—
For the World has gone from me and fled
The stairway of my mind shall never end
I accept the fate with the grinning dead
Hello again demons, hello friends
I remain
Alas! I fall and I am done
Tell me where have you fled, my love, my friend?
For a moment I gaze upon the sun
Here I am on earth again
1 Stair Remains
Why can't I be free?
Tell me, why aren't they looking at thee?
Why are they looking at me?
2 Stairs Remain
The garments of comfort I long to wear
Knowing in my heart that I'll never win
I skip that grimy third stair
Like most of my life has been
3 Stairs Remain
Though my infected feet leave bloodstains
I can't release even a single tear
The poisons encompass my river of veins
I step on thorns of wrath and fear
Enshrouded with pain!
4 Stairs Remain
Oh, how am I to survive?
Relieve me from this ever-fixed sadness
Why can't you just be alive?
Cease this madness!
5 Stairs Remain
As you breathe your very last breath
The devilish fiends laugh at me
They are blaming me for your death
The deaths of the masses are calling me
6 Stairs Remain
The carcasses you feed upon are glaring
Oh! vulturous world so full of greed
When everyone is staring
God, redeem me!
I just can't succeed
7 Stairs Remain
Of other fiendish sins
And I feel the shivers
Drowned by the turbulent wind
My stale breath quivers
8 Stairs Remain
Though we all aren't free
They laugh below in the hole where I fell
The demons are haunting, taunting me
Alone I wander blindly out of hell
9 Stairs Remain
And my will is close to gone…
The stairway continues on
Forever hungry, forever stale
I toil through death's dark vale
10 Stairs Remain
Why can't we be free?
My resistance is nearly gone
The wretches are watching, stalking me
I'm too exhausted to move on

There once was a girl,
Who's name I can't tell.
To spare her the pain,
I'll just call her Belle.
Belle was a beauty
And all the beasts could see,
She was everything in a girlfriend
That they wanted theirs to be.
Belle was so trusting,
Because she was never treated wrong,
But little did she know that
Her innocence wouldn't last long.
She had two friends,
Sasha and Trevor,
And a boyfriend that she thought
She'd love forever.
Her boyfriend, Sam,
And Trevor were friends.
So this fearsome foursome
Had fun to no end.
The youngest of the four
But the smartest, she thought.
But what a friend was
Was not what she was taught.
Trevor and Belle
Would hang out all day.
She would try to be like him
In her own boyish way.
You see, the Trevor I speak of
Was King of the Beasts
And everything he wanted
Was laid at his feet.
And, although curious,
Belle stayed true to Sam
And that made Trevor feel
That he was less of a man.
One day, in a summer
5 years ago,
Belle told me something
I needed to know.
She told me what happened
The day that she ran.
The day that will forever
Be burned in the sand.
She told me what happened
When she looked over her shoulder
And saw him walking towards her
As the room grew colder.
She told me her tears
Were no match to his power.
She told me what made this beast
A coward.
She told me she screamed
And hollered and yelled
But her cries were soon muffled
By his lips, dry and pale.
She told me how she felt
The day that she was bruised.
Never in her life
Had she felt so used!
I asked her why she didn't fight
Or get tough like she does on the field.
She just said I'd never know the
Weakness that I would feel.
I couldn't help but to cry for her
As she blamed herself.
Belle had always wanted to be
The beauty on everyone's shelf.
"But not like that," she said to me,
"Not with one of my friends."
She let a tear roll down her face
As she spoke of her life's end.
Some may ask why'd she tell me;
"What made her come to you?"
I simply look at them and say,
"You don't know Belle like I do."
I know this story in great detail
And if you look real close you'll see
The tear I shed while writing this
Because...Belle is me.

By committing to nothing, one retains infinite options.
I have hid inside these words for moons and seasons and New Year's toasts.
The lone wolf roams fertile pastures unfettered.
The thrill of the hunt.
The chase.
An empty bed is the hope of a new body's sleeping curve.
Tomorrow becomes yesterday.
"The mystery of mysteries is the gateway to marvels."
I stopped looking long ago.
The faces have blurred into a montage of emptiness.
Come and go; came and went.
I never bothered much to be bothered.
There aren't many memories
And I am thankful for that.
Wet fingers and licked lips'
Blood on my hands.
Wasted time.
The years run on like a favorite sitcom gone bad.
It all should have been retired years ago.
It is easier to stay afloat and roam the big waters alone
Than set up camp on an island and face a face.
No problems.
No worries.
No connection.
Freedom is all that you cannot commit to
And who surrenders to nothing is he who lives in frigid shadows of fear.
Maybe I have never truly known warmth.
I walk the streets like a war-worn shoulder.
A little cold, a little distant, a little too silent.
The words I have are recycled fragments of someone else's life.
I don't offer much.
Poker face.
Can you read my concrete stare?
I have an entire universe hiding in my back pocket
But I'm scared to show you.
It's been so long since I groped or even fondled my own life.
I'm not sure what I do or don't have to offer.
I just keep making bets and upping the ante.

A void of Facebook
Creativity dies here...

sometimes i talk to myself,
my mind is racing,
i dont know what to do...
so hard to explain.
depression isn't a stage
or a faze some kids go through
it shatters you...
i saw it all.
she cried silent in her bed,
blood stains covered her favorite jeans,
her every shirt,
long sleeve ofcourse...
she suffered through it all with few people to call friend
and more to call enemy
even more to say where quite dissappointed....
her first name in school,
not started by a bully
or a mean rival,
but by her sister,
and it echoed through her soul,
repeating in her mind... over and over again,
like the ripples of still water
when a pebble is dropped
flash frozen in time
over and over again...
It was the first name they gave her,
millions where created over the years,
some unique
some repeating again, just as the first had..
gothic they called her,
emo, fat, ugly....worse things.
but in her mind, things where worse.
everything was repeating,
over and over again,
finally she believed it.
she asked for help, from everyone
tried to explain to parents she wasnt well,
got called a psycho for asking to see a theripist,
not from a teacher,
not from a class mate,
but from her own father, who wouldn't, couldn't,
believe there could possibly be a thing wrong....
finally, crying, she confessed her bloody secret to a teacher.
rather then giving her time,
she is sent back to class crying her eyes out, as if she wherent going through enough...
she is sent to the principals office a few minutes later, after breaking down in class...
the princlipal says she needs help,
sends her and her dad for a risk evaluation,
her dads crying as she shows him her cuts...
they walk into a hospital room,
it smells of chemicals and hand sanitizer,
the lady at the desk gives her a smile.
then she goes into a room with a lady,
her cheeks are sunken in and shes wearing way too much makeup,
the girl is gaging on her perfume,
and she looks really intimidating....
her dark brown hair looks dead and flat
even though its a bit wavy,
and she wears somewhat of a mocking frown.
asks her all these questions,
is mommy beating her?
is daddy raping her?
is she doing drugs?
not alot
is anyone beating her?
did anyone molest her?
oxcarbezapine, trazadone, citalipran, clinazapam, colonipan,
valium, lithium, more.......
and thats what they gave her,
some numbed the pain
some brought it out
tearing through her organs,
she became an addict by the time she was fourteen....
over dose after over dose
some for pleasure
some for pain,
gashes on her legs getting deeper,
this time she didnt tell a soul,
not even those she had come to call friends....
wakeup she screamed in her head over and over again
as she dropped weight like it was nothing....
you cant controll it she argued as things became worse.
at age fourteen she attempted suicide,
she didnt quite succeed.
the medication took away her aappitite....
she liked it
she hated her body
hated herself
felt out of controll
found a new way to cope
as she shoved tooth brush after toothbrush down her throat
to keep her body from nuitrients...
as she whent weeks and weeks spitting food into napkins and making excuses
I ate at my friends house....
spoken as a whisper
heard like a sentance
echoing in her mind over and over again,
along with that word, all the words,
ugy, anoying, stupid, fake, worthless, nothing...
one bite she would say
rocking back and forth
craving nothing but food
her body racked with hunger pain
one bite and there she was again
over and over and over again
back to a toothbrush
this time she sees blood
she saw her ribs
she saw her bones,
it wasnt good enough,
she almost died, again....
choking on this deep dissappointment in herself,
gaging on everything they where pushing down her throat,
their words, and their insults, their criticism.... their drugs
all shoved down her throat like candy
and just as she was was trained to do she swallowed despite the bad taste
or the hurt
or the fact that at the rate she was going she would be dead soon...
and you know why?
because daddy yelled
and couldnt accept what was happening
not because he wanted to hurt her
but because it hurt him,
and she let him believe,
because she could take the hurt if it meant he didnt have too.
because mommy didnt want to sit in her room all day
smoking weed
doing nothing,
practically having us raise ourselves,
she didnt mean to take anger, or frustration or hurt out on her daughter
she suffered everyday in her solitary confinement,
and from a young age she accepted her bedroom was the cage
her mother had created for herself.
because sister didnt want to effect her the way she did
she was just frustrated
fed up with the way things where
scared, she needed someone to take her cruelty
and to help heal her pain...
because people in school
who where so cruel
had to have learned from somewhere
and she wasnt going to play into their games,
and they knew she was an easy target
because she would never attack someone so weak
and she accepted her suffering was a sacrafice
to help all these people....
to help her dad,
her mom,
her sister,
every person who was beaten abused or hurt
and felt so weak at home they wanted to feel strong in the one safe place they had.
because depite the fact she had died inside,
and almost passed away on the out,
it was a saccrafice she was willing to make
so that no one else would have to feel that kind of pain,
and they all inflicted it and broke her down'untill there was nothing left but a shell
of somthing that could have been
and never had the chance
and why?
because she would take it and wouldnt strike back,
because sometimes "just taking it"
isnt so much about the weakness not to do anything
but about the strangth not to hurt others the way they hurt you...

He was always so happy
strong and bold.
He'd give you the shirt off of his back.
He had a rough life
growing up through the depression,
but like he always does,
he got through it.
He has two boys, of whom he is so proud.
Moved from Regina, to Victoria.
He had the best life anyone his age could have wanted.
But ever since his wife died,
he has not been the same.
But like he has always done,
he got through it.
Mind slipping,
just a little forgetful.
That's how it always starts out...
But like always, he powered through it,
until now...
He is not the same person that I used to know.
He been sentenced to the prison in his own mind.
Possessed by the thoughts of his dogs ashes.
He likes to play the blame game,
but we know he doesn't remember that it was him.
He wakes up in the night
shaking with pain,
tears streaming down his face.
There is nothing we can do,
Oh well...
Two more tylenol.
Hold on to hope
for as long as you can,
It's only a matter of time now.
He gets vocal, a very loud tone.
He'll block you in your room
and make false accusations
But we know that it's the pain induced monster in him.
Tick tock, tick tock...
You can't handle the stress anymore
you have to leave.
Just hope for the best,
maybe it will get better.
Surprise, it doesn't.
Your denial is foolish, everyone knows
what happens next.

I never knew until that moment how bad it could hurt
To lose someone you never really had,
Days can be tough and at times cruel
To much for one to bear alone..
I was hoping that you would say
If I feel that I can't hold on any longer,
You'll take my hand and we'll go through it until together.
When the time comes, that if I can't stand on my own again
And I won't need you anymore, I will let go.
I will let go, if that would make you happy..
If you're lonely and your heart feels empty,
Just tell me and I will step inside.
But if One Day, you'll be needing that space for someone else
Don't worry and gladly I will give in my space..
Like in a painful, sad love story
It's amazing how easily to fall inlove with someone,
Who simply smiles, talks or stare at you
The only hard thing to do is to make that person fall for you.
They say that time heals all wounds, but all it's done so far
is give me more time to think about how much I miss You..
Okay, so maybe time heals most wounds, right?
Then why does it feel like it?
The wound is getting bigger and bigger every second.
Maybe Love is just a beautiful dream, and then we wake up..
Just as they always say when somebody leaves
When love is lost, do not bow your head in sadness,
Instead keep your head up high and gaze for the stars.
For that is where broken hearts have been sent to heal..
What is the opposite of Two?..
...A lonely me, A lonely You...
They say relationships are like glass
That sometimes it's better to leave them broken
Than risk hurting oneself in trying to put it back together.
Lost in my heart, lost in my mind, I'm lost in your eyes
Entire days, weeks, months, ...a blur...
Flickers of light in the darkness
Only to be enveloped in shadow once more.
And yet within the shadows of pain
Might be the faint flicker of love once fel,t
And that could make all the darkness worthwhile
Because a single "I Love You"
Is worth more than a thousand goodbyes..
I'm tired my Beloved..
of chafing my heart against the want of you,
Of squeezing into little inkdrops and writing it.
Ask me why I keep on loving you
When it's clear that you don't feel the same way for me.
The problem is that as much as I can't force you to love me
I can't force myself to stop loving you..
So I tell myself sometimes..
'Count the gardens by the flowers, never by the leaves that fall.
Count your life with smiles and not with tears that roll." ..
Though sometimes, these tears say all there is to say
And the scars don't ever fade away,
I am thankful that for a moment
I once met You, I once felt you look my way.
I once felt You within me, in my heart and mind
I once was happy and alive with You
I once Loved you and still Loving You... xoxo
P.S ..KYHYCYILY.. always.. ? ? ?

" From the debt of my heart"
The African child
Sat behind the bamboo fence
He was sober and tense
Sputtering and wondering.
He forsook the bush meat
And the gathering under the moonlight
For sobriety and the causes of his uncertainties.
His clothes were like dried leaves
His feet like openings in the eaves
He longed to see a brighter tomorrow
He clarified the causes of his sorrow;
Sins of the father,
Fighting not to make things better
Therefore darkening the weather,
Making his destiny falter and bitter.
Tears exuded from the sound of his flute,
His fears enlarged like a parachute
But one thing he never understood,
Watch and pray, oh! African root
For your foundation is stinky, filthy,
Faulty and guilty...... watch and pray.

There once was a day I would watch every airplane.
Praying you was on it to come take me away.
As a child I wanted you around until the day, you actually came.
The day you came is the day my life forever changed.
I remember as if it was yesterday when you physically violated me.
Mental visions as early as the age of eight, but old enough to vociferate.
Visualizing mental pictures in my mind while I am awake very aware of the improper abuse I take.
Your body on me feels something like an autopsy of a dead body.
While you lay on top of me as you press aggressively on me.
Against my will your force kept me still.
I am trying to understand if you recognize who I am.
I try to say no hoping you can comprehend; I am weakling as you apprehend.
Mentally and physically I became involuntarily your property.
A main character in a horror story, and you were my predatory.
I asked "God why?" as I bare to stare into his eyes.
This is not thee love I seek; all I wanted was my father to love me, but not like this injustice of violation of my rights.
This love is not real; not the love I wished to feel.
As he tries to stick his tongue into my mouth too young to know what this is all about.
I grip my lips painfully tight as he tries to slip his tongue inside.
I close them tighter with all my might, as he whispers, "let me love you right"
I beg him to leave as he pried my legs open with his knees my insides scream "somebody please help me!"
As he whispers how much he loves me I'm praying for God to just kill me.
I rather be dead then a man's punching bag.
As I lay there my body was dead, and I laid my soul to rest.
I looked around the room and seen the Old Spice on the desk the same fragrance he wore around his neck.
The sun began to rise as he began to close my thighs.
In that moment in time I had made up my mind any man that ever say they love me was just telling lies.
I learned the hard way that love does not kill your inside; love does not take your pride.
A fatherless child I shall forever reside.
Every day that passes that little eight-year-old girl dies slowly inside.
Asking Jesus," Why permit this?" and he slowly whispers…as I gently whimpers, "faith is the light that guide you through the darkness, my words reflecting as a lamp unto my feet."
"Walk unto my path I'm here to carry the weak, come into me you are weary and overburdened. I will carry the pain you have obtained."
"I am your father and you are my child you are never fatherless because I'm always around."

They walked together, hand in hand,
Into life's magical fairyland.
Where there was no trouble, where there was no pain.
Where life could really, begin all over again.
Where were no men in little white coats.
Forcing you all, to stuff drugs down your throats.
Forcing you to do, what you didn't want to.
Telling you it was all for the best, for you,
People shouting, people crying.
Most of the people talking about dying.
What is this hell, we've all come to?
It's called coming off drugs, we all have It to go through.
Where will it end, what will we do?
None of us really, has a clue.
We are given more pills, we are told, we have to take.
To the men in white coats, life's a piece of cake.
We are the prisoners, they guard the doors.
Some try to creep out, on all fours.
Into hell and back, we go for a ride.
Eventually if we're lucky, we come out the other side.
Where we can walk, hand in hand.
Into life's magical Fairyland.
Where there is trouble, where there is pain.
But at least we can start, living again.

Craze comes out of barrel of joy,
Joy, what makes you behave coy,
Coyness, a thing that would get a toy
From the soul, hands of a smart lil' boy
That his head bobs in saving his mother,
Mother, the filial original not really similar
Similar? To the father, rasp voice that quiver
From the garden of marital rupture. It'ld linger
Over the elms of gut, ebbing with the tide
Of bliss ended. Never should beings all hide
The love, warmth of family. Filial code to side
A broken china, a shattered shuttle that'ld bide
Brittle bliss. Come in the evenings and laugh
At the debris of the drum, a rumble of cough
Upon anodyne ruble of ruin. Feed from trough
O! Love if you aren't life. Then live quickly, rough.

Clumsy days and hazy nights
Haunting and bring me tears
I should stop perturbing
Whilst my heart still whipping
Wrath of nature is just reflection
Of my fragments that created imprints
Within my being that stands steadfast
Even in the darkest days of my existence.

A fool was crowned
And now we`re bound
To serve and please
On hands and knees,
To hate and smile
Each day and mile,
We feel defeat
And kiss his feet.
The foolish kings
Cut off our wings.
Their poisoned knife-
Our foolish life.
And faith`s refuse
Won`t save our muse,
When banned to fly,
She`ll fall and die.
Still time will flow-
Kings come and go.
But teams of mules,
That choose the fools
To be ahead
Alive and dead,
Won`t change a bit
The fate they meet.
They`ll choke on pride,
They`ll run and hide
And in their shells
Pity themselves,
That life was cruel
To have set the rule-
"Do as you`re told,
Silence is gold."
We pay the price
To hide our vice:
The coward `s role-
To lie and crawl.
And hope someday
Things`ll come our way,
We`ll find the might
To rise and fight.

You are a million miles away
thinking of you I am today.
I want to write to tell you so,
although i'm sure you already know.
My body may be far away,
but my heart is what will always stay.
True love is very hard to find,
but you my dear, are one of a kind.
I've found a love so pure and true,
loyal and honest , that is you.
I am proud to say we belong together,
no matter the distance, our love will not sever.
and when we're together again you'll see,
so happy, together, forever we'll be!

The missing light,
What's behind.
Just believe,
That love comes again...
The skies,
Are like a hard glide,
In a shining rainbow's light...
All dreams and fantasies,
Can be reality,
'Cause fantasy,
Is based on reality...
But all histories aren't the same...
Sometimes, we dive,
In our lives...
Don't judge,
For what you see,
For what it is...,
'Cause time passes,
But, memories remain...
To your heart,
The body, does,
The mind, thinks,
And, the heart, feels...,
While, the soul, lives...
Always remember,
To remember the past,
To live the present,
And to wait and pursue the future...
Listen to your heart,
Before you are telling goodbye,
'Cause destiny,
Might lead to demise...,
But, remember that destiny can be changed...
Life is unpredictable,
But space and time,
Could be controlled...
And even if some die,
We may survive...
That life,
Might have an endless beginning...
All that remains,
Is to be reborn...

A strange sight upon a lonely road.
A dream ripped in half.
Looking closer, I wonder what was the travail.
An old price tag attached, making me wonder at what price it was sold.
Along the edges, tattered and torn, it gave forth an evil laugh.
As if some sly devil concocted a way to turn someone pale.
Onward I traveled, with pack upon my back.
To the left and right of the road were littered with more broken dreams.
So many that one could not keep track.
Some having been blown into the parallel stream.
So, I checked the pack upon my back.
And, yep all my dreams were there in a stack.
Cold winds howl, trying to rip my back pack to shreds.
Freezing were the winds, but forward I march.
Never losing sight of my dreams in spite of many dreads.
They all hold up strong even though many times I'm in a lurch.
Suddenly I see people returning to the road.
Going back and picking up their dreams.
Dusting them off and restoring them to their pack.
Each and every one said to me, you are quite bold.
To go forth and not let the cold winds of fate not destroy your knack.
To face life as it comes and not give up even if offered gold.
Good, bad fortune, are likewise of no importance.
Put a failed dream back in your pack and maybe a new day will appear.
Where you can unpack that dream and give it another go.
But, for today, march forward, today's failure might tomorrow's dance.
You gave it your best, and win or lose, that game has ended with a spear.
Win or lose, that game is done so pack it's knowledge away in your pack and grow.
Suddenly down the road a new vista appears and a brand new game.
Left high and dry or victorious are the two possible ends of any venture.
But in truth, knowledge is all you will have, win or lose.
For tomorrows game is just around the bend, all the same.
Win or lose, the game of life only ends for the moment within sight of the new adventure.
So, to quit and call it the end, only makes you look like a goose.

The greatest holiday gift I ever received
Goes back so many, many years
Before my life became turmoiled
And before my tears for fears
I was a child like many out there
Torn, strewn and split of kin
Mother and father in differences
Confused at seven, wearing their same skin
For I was one of the lucky ones
To a Highland Estate I would go
It's on the west coast of Scotland
Where my holidays desired me so
Secretly I internally smiled
For a whisper of where I was heading
To live with a movie star hero
No longer my life was in dreading
We were picked up by a man so fine
His manners were an absolute joy
Regimental he was in his approach
To me, just a seven year old boy
We travelled through the village of Plockton
Crystal clear waters edged to it's shore
I knew from this very moment
Being here ebbed previous family sores
On entering his house I was in awe
Movie pictures came to my view
They were images of James Bond
At seven I was totally through
A voice called to me
Hey James! sit down and I'll tell you me
Still in circles in walking awe
This is what he told thee
My name is Patrick Dalzel Job
In the Second World War I served
But this recognition I bestow
Humbles me to it's deserve
This honour that's been given
Was blessed by a colleague in war
What desired Ian Fleming to be so striven
Possibly, what we were fighting for
We served on the same destroyer
Fighting to make the future free
His tribute, in his novels I became
James Bond, it's incredibly me
Not many seven year olds have stayed with James Bond.
This seven year old Scot's boy has, maybe I learnt?

I guide my body,
but my soul I do not.
My mind.
My feelings.
They've slowly broken apart.
The darkness screams at me,
trying to reel me in.
"they're gone," they say.
"you're nothing but pitty and sin."
Though most think it's hard to step foot in this place,
it takes true strength to find another way.
As the black swallows me whole,
I see a million bright lights.
I lay there in my sorrow,
and know the stars are mine tonight.
Somehow they -- uniquely twinkling --
take my feelings on adventures to slow my breathing.
They strongly look through me,
and have my mind soaked
with things like courage, and happiness, and hope.
I lay there for hours until their vivid wisdom fades.
the dreadful transition of night to day.
When the sun gradually peaks over the horizon,
I notice the pain in my hand from clenching my knife.
But as the light shines upon me,
the only feeling I have is the feeling of life.
I stand face to face with the greatest star of all.
Feeding off of its power, I break down my wall.
The sun shows me the paths that I have to choose from,
but it's up to me to choose the right one.
I'm ready to cut ties with the sadness I hold.
I shall live my life right and pick the right way to go.
I'm eager for night to fall,
to show them that they were right.
They all found their way.
The stars are mine tonight.

Forgotten you
As your mind collects the memories of yesterday
Forgotten You
Epiphanies tie into knotty strings of realization
That very moment. . .
You merely exist
Back then. . .those smiles
Those. . .distant laughs
Some you remember by name
Gone now maybe
Like the exhalation of the wind
Others dispersed in the world of arbitrary happening
Like leaves from falling, man-made trees
There is no doubt that they have
Forgotten you
Activate the bomb
Ignite the fuse
And you're on next year's history book
Never forgotten
But drained of all remaining good
That smile you gave
That happiness
The warm embrace so long ago
Salt-coated with piles of rubbish
Over last remaining mental spurts of comfort
Evil, evil, evil, evil, EVIL. . .
Always absorbed and remembered
. . .though never forgiven. . .
All good and gracious sentiments
Packed up in a box set nonchalantly in Downstair's storage
. . .that chair with the broken leg in the corner of the room
That mangled cobweb holding a dangling, lifeless spider
A drowned sailor's hat drifting through the current of the ocean
The single tear from a soldier's vigilant, memory-stricken eye
The frustrating thoughts of a mute
The unchanged. . .HATED deformations
Forgotten you. . .
One soul brings to light weary, unthought-of happenings
Wedged deep into what she can only imagine
With not even a hint of understanding
. . .of the pain. . . .of the bewildering distortions
Of the ugly. . .
One soul merely vomits sickly verse after verse
As humanity embraces its downfall
The poet hangs onto her unjustifiable, forgotten. . .
So much I wanted to say. So much I wanted to shout.
It was like being trapped behind bars without a way
to get out.
My mind going wild with all these questions of why.
The only way to escape was to fall asleep or to cry.
What did I do so bad that made me have to pay?
My friends, my dreams, and my life was swepped away.
I know I can do it! I try and I try.
Nothing seems to get better. I sometimes wish
I would Die.
Starved for attention. I wanna talk to the world.
I just miss being loved. Miss the warmth of a girl.
Snickers and stairs is what my life has become.
I'm treated like I'm a kid, like I'm sick, or I'm dumb.
One day to the next. Life becomes work just to be alive.
I thank god for my blessings. I thank god I survived.
I finally see some improvement. More hope tickles
my brain.
It was worth all the time, all the tears, all the pain.
I awake with a smile and new hope to move on.
I did it! I did it! All those hard times are gone!

It's the empty spaces
That we long to fill
It's our lifelong dreams
Lying unfulfilled
The apathy takes hold
The caring ceases
A semblance of a normal life
Lies at our feet in pieces
When the magic no longer amazes
And charm has all but died
Nothing left to hold onto but hope
And give it another try
Copyright © Adam Piper | Year Posted 2007
I walk a mile to see the self in me that I believe to be,
I knew the road I choose to lay my head to sleep is called my home,
times in need I could barely see that in myself I will set free,
the act that held me down, something about me I could not see,
I lived a life when I decide that day I said that I don't care,
so young, so bright, I dim my light, traumatized for me to share,
love me please regardless of what you heard and what you have seen,
friends say that I'm only human, yes you're right, a human but who am I being?
My life will move in the direction I choose,
this I know I have always been taught
that I choose to be a winner or lose,
its entirely up to me its all in my thoughts.

Mountains crumble no more to be
Oceans of woe since you left me
Thunder rolls and my heart it breaks
Humbly life ends, my soul it quakes
Everlasting grief with no mend
Reminds me daily, it will not bend
Inconceivable, this pain I bear
My love's not gone, together we'll share
In lasting glory at Jesus' feet
Serenity and grace, oh how sweet
Salvation unites on heaven's shore
Yesterday's gone, tomorrow brings more
Only a moment in time we wait
Until we meet at heaven's gate

your velvety blossoms
slowly withers away
once tender roots
have now decayed
at the thought i cringe
such insidious disease
gradually infects
each and every leaf
moldy black spots
crinkled stained edges
your magnificent growth
gradually suppresses
your unsurpassed beauty
now fuzzed up and gray
crinkled debilated stems
a dull distorted array
shoots barely opened
leaves now curled and bent
such unforgettable moment
your petals soon descend
your spicy scent has drifted
such sickly brittle vein
Flowers now discolored
and left to thrive on pain
after months of nurturing
your once marvelous display
the thought of you slowly wilting
has left me in dismay
*My theme is taken from Constance's Poem "in Memory of a rose"*
Copyright © Rashana King | Year Posted 2010
The absent mind rewinds the time pursued by each regret,
For as the lore that came before brought memories to forget.
And in the seed that failed to feed a lovers sweet duet,
A swift demise in plain disguise stood ready to be met.
This was the sorrow that bled of tomorrow, for each day would soon bring the rest;
Every reminder was fiercer, yet kinder, and soon would begin its conquest.
The roses have hardened in paper-back gardens; the pages in which they were pressed...
It's all that remains from the valentine chains that had nothing but pain to suggest.
The shackles will tighten unless you enlighten the truth of your young history:
The fact that the pain can help you retain the lessons of each mystery.
Now that the past has fallen at last, so has your dark enemy...
The night-light grows dreary as thoughts to theory: tomorrow's a new memory.

TK Maxx has been awesome for me when I've been shopping for homeware. One of my favourite departments is kitchenware, as you can get some nice, high-quality items and well-known brands for a decent price. I regularly see Joseph Joseph and Thermos items, and they always have great quality pots and pans. I live an exciting life. The other night I was just in my smaller, local store, so I wasn't expecting to find much when I stumbled upon these adorable Hello Kitty things!
I feel like every alternative girl has a soft spot for Hello Kitty. As my friend Meesh says, how can something without a mouth be so cute?! I did a little scurry-march over to the aisle and picked up this set of two biscuit/cake tins for £4.99, and these ceramic cannisters (which I will use for tea, coffee and sugar) for £2.99 each!
My kitchen colours are currently a rather predictable black, white and grey so I think the pink in these will be a really fun addition. ^_^ I've packed up the majority of my new house things, so I'm looking forward to moving more than ever now so that I can share some more of the thoroughly odd things I've collected.

New Hampshire Film and Television Office to hold Filmmakers Roundtable in Portsmouth
(Concord, NH) – The next New Hampshire Filmmaker Roundtable, presented by the New Hampshire Film and Television Office, will take place on Thursday, September 13 from 12-2 p.m. in the Levenson Meeting Room of the Portsmouth Public Library, 175 Parrott Avenue in Portsmouth.
In addition to an update from the New Hampshire Film and Television Office, our discussion will focus on two topics:
Filmmaking Incentives - The landscape of filmmaking is changing throughout New England, and as our regional neighbors enact legislation and incentives to attract more production to their jurisdictions, New Hampshire needs to take a look at how it can remain competitive. What can we offer to filmmakers? What can't we do? How do we become a filmmaking destination while, at the same time, continue to protect our New Hampshire resources and our way of life? We'll take some time to discuss this and hear your thoughts.
What can the Film Office do for you? - The intention of our quarterly filmmaker roundtables is to provide our industry with a forum where they can be updated on the latest news and information from the Film Office and sound off with their suggestions and comments. Our roundtables also give New Hampshire's film professionals with the opportunity to network with one another. This time around, we want to know your thoughts on how the New Hampshire Film and Television Office can serve you better. What programs should we put in place for the state's industry? Are you interested in cooperative advertising? What are we currently doing that is working? What could be done better? This is your chance to tell us your needs.
Industry professionals are invited to attend this networking event and visit the new Levenson Room of the Portsmouth Public Library. This community meeting room has video projection capabilities and regularly hosts a film screening series.
The New Hampshire Filmmaker Roundtable is a lunch-hour gathering of the state's film industry professionals, amateurs and students. Attendees are encouraged to come B.Y.O.L. (Bring Your Own Lunch!) If members of New Hampshire's film industry are interested in attending, please RSVP by Monday, September 10 via e-mail at [email protected] or by calling (603) 271-2220. For directions to the Portsmouth Public Library, visit www.cityofportsmouth.com/library/about-dir.htm.
The New Hampshire Film and Television Office, as part of the New Hampshire Department of Cultural Resources, works to expand business activity and employment throughout the state by acting as a liaison between the film industry and an established network of government agencies, the state's film industry workforce, and local property owners. The office is responsible for location assistance, public relations, and general production support in an effort to broaden the cultural and economic impact of film and television production in the state. For more information about film and television production in New Hampshire, call (603) 271-2220 or visit www.nh.gov/film.

Swansea City 1
Moore (82)
City 0
- Match highlights
- Matchday centre
- Match reports
- 11 March 2012 16:00
- Posted by Dave Clayton
City's title aspirations took a severe blow as substitute Luke Moore scored a late winner to give Swansea a 1-0 win and all three points - despite Joe Hart saving an early penalty.
Micah Richards also had a late goal controversially disallowed for offside on a day the Blues, far from their best, will want to forget in a hurry.
City have now dropped behind neighbours United in the race to win the Premier League, though hopefully there are plenty of twists and turns to come - and the fact remains that if the Blues were to win their remaining matches, the title would be coming back to the Etihad Stadium.
The Liberty Stadium made for a picture perfect setting with the pitch resplendent and bathed in early spring sunshine.
City arrived in South Wales on the back of four successive Premier League wins on the bounce but were up against one of the meanest home defences in the top-flight with Swansea the next best after the Blues having conceded just ten goals in 13 home games.
The loss of first-choice central defenders Vincent Kompany and Joleon Lescott meant a first-time partnership of Kolo Toure and Stefan Savic while Mario Balotelli's cameo in Lisbon won him a starting place up front.
Richards also returned after injury as City attempted to maintain a lead at the top of the table they'd held since early October.
Swansea flew out of the blocks and dominated the early exchanges and with just five minutes played, the hosts were given a golden opportunity to take the lead.
Wayne Routledge burst into the box and as he poked it past Joe Hart, he tumbled over the England keeper and Lee Mason pointed to the spot – but Scott Sinclair's penalty was well saved by Hart and the Blues survived.
Swansea continued to look dangerous and were causing problems with their slick passing and movement – so much so that it prompted Robert Mancini to make a tactical switch with only 37 minutes on the clock.
Gareth Barry was withdrawn and replaced by Sergio Aguero, with Yaya Toure dropping further back in midfield – it immediately had an effect with the Blues coming close twice through Balotelli and David Silva following a succession of corners.
The second-half began as the first 45 had with City fortunate not to go behind as Kolo Toure's desperate lunge was just enough to prevent two Swansea forwards tapping in from close range – it was hairy, edge-of-the seat stuff but the Blues – a long way from their best – remained on level terms.
The Blues, however, gradually started to control the game as time went on. With Swansea packing ten men behind the ball each time City attacked, it seemed a matter of time before Silva or Samir Nasri unpicked the lock.
Yet the hosts remained a threat each time they pressed forward and they allowed the Blues little or no room to create any clear-cut chances in what was increasingly becoming a frustrating afternoon.
Then, with a point looking like a reasonable result, substitute Luke Moore headed home from close range after a Savic error on the halfway line was punished in full - it was a crushing blow and memories of the 1-0 defeat at Sunderland came flooding back.
City suddenly piled forward and forced Vorm into several fine saves in the time that remained - but it was too little, too late.
There was still time for Richards to head home at the far post in injury time, but the assistant referee's flag was raised – despite TV replays suggesting it was borderline.
Not a good day for the Blues' title hopes, but there is still a long way to go.

We wanted to know what brow trends to watch this summer, so we consulted our local, East Coast, brow expert, Natalia, of Brow Rehab. Brows are an interesting part of the routine. You may not realize how important brows are until you see them done once. They frame the face and add a polished touch to any makeup look.
"Here at Brow Rehab we try to avoid trends as we adhere to eyebrow preservation. As far as color, we always try to match the brow to the clients hair and complexion. Eyebrow color correction is a complex protocol which involves several steps before we reach the desired brow color."
Please view the list for global brow trends.
Summer 2014 brow trends - brow rehab
This photo is an example of work done by Natalia of Brow Rehab. Their focus is brow preservation and rehabilitation. Brow Rehab is located on South Beach, Miami-Dade County, Florida.
Summer 2014 brow trends - Vogue UK
These brows may be a little wild and crazy for you, but they are natural. Summer 2014 trends are moving towards a more natural brow, including bushy brows. Growing brows can be painful, especially if one suffers trichotillomania. Try to be patient and avoid plucking until your brows grow. It can take weeks to months, but hang in there.
Summer 2014 brow trends - Modelina
Cara Delevingne is known for her bushy brows. One could argue that she started the trend towards thick, full, lustrous brows. She is a role model for those who feel conscious about ungroomed brows.
Summer 2014 brow trends - Glamour UK
School boy brows are a simple way to make the brows appear more full. It is achieved by brushing the brows upwards and spreading them out naturally.
Summer 2014 brow trends - mature makeup maven
Thick, full brows are difficult to grow when one is recovering from over tweezing. It may take a week, a month, several months, but avoid plucking no matter what.
Summer 2014 brow trends - mature makeup maven nudes
This summer has a no makeup makeup look, the runway nudes. When keeping the face simple, one can add a little spice by properly grooming brows.

Message-ID: <firstname.lastname@example.com> Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2001 09:45:36 -0400 From: Alex Noordergraaf <email@example.com> To: Focus on Sun Mailing List <email@example.com> Subject: Announce: three new security BluePrints on SunFire, Host-based Firewalls, and NTP
I'm pleased to announce the publication of three new security-related
BluePrints in this months BluePrint OnLine issue.
First off - Tony Benson and I worked to provide recommendations on how
to secure the System Controller, or SC, which is part of every Sun Fire
Midframe server. These recommendations apply to environments concerned
with security and particularly those where the uptime requirements of
the SC and/or the information on the Sun Fire is critical to the
organization. The article is available here:
To simplify the implementation of these recommendations some
article-specific drivers were written for the Solaris Security Toolkit
(aka JASS). These new drives are available in the newly released version
0.3.1 of the Toolkit which is available at:
Secondly - Martin Englund did some great work discussing the hows and
whys of host-based firewalls as an effective alternative to choke-point
based firewalls. Details are also provided on how to implement these
recommendations using Sun's free host-based firewall software -
SunScreen[tm] SecureNet Lite. The article is available here:
Thirdly - David Deeths and Glenn Brunette teamed up to put together a
three part series on Network Time Protocol (NTP). This month the third,
and final, article in this series was published. This article completes
the series by discussing NTP troubleshooting and monitoring. The article
is available here:

articles check out our all-in-one web page at:
If you have any problems accessing the html or associated pdf article
files first point your browser at http://www.sun.com and then navigate
down to the actual article. This should properly set your session ID and
you should then be able to access the articles.

For a few years now I have been usuing Long Wax Riding Macks which I find deposit water straight down the top of your long riding boots, the Australian one I had for a long time after my old Rubberised Mackintosh died. I hate those Wax coats not long enough dont cover the horse so no central heating in the winter. So today I decided to look on the internet and googled Riding Mackintoshes and wish I had not kinky is the word gone into the world of people who get off on the smell of rubber, so wondering not a good idea to get one.

OOh Kevin, you dark horse!
I always ride in a fantastic thing i got from an ex army stores. Its like a ground sheet with a hood. You put your head in hood and do the poppers up on both sides so you can put your hands through and its all enveloping, they told me in the shop, that the ringed holes on the borders of the "garment" were to be pegged to the floor so your sitting in your own tent! I have never got wet whilst wearing and lovely and warm plus its was only peanuts, but i did get mine 20 years ago but i bet you can still get them somewhere!

I was having the long riding coat thought, it rains in Wales practically constantly so I'm figuring its only going to get worse in the winter, I might have to invest. You can pick them up on ebay for a relatively good price - i like the body tent idea though

I find that waterproof trousers are far better to ride in and a short waterproof coat.

Don't be put off by the fetish sites Google has offered you; same thing applies to so many items we need legitimately from ladies' shoes to wellies! Like you, I much prefer a "proper" riding mack to the waxed/oiled alternatives available today that are often downright impractical and far from cheap. I've always had a decent mack to hand and the only comments I've received have been from people like yourself who just want to get hold of a good waterproof - for all the right reasons! A quality riding mackintosh is also a top-notch raincoat and mine has been admired by some who maybe aren't familiar with the coat but like the classic style. To get back to your original question, Cordings outfitters sell the real macks both online and at their London shop but they are pricy. My last one came from a company called Weathervain - I ordered online and it was delivered within a couple of weeks. It's a full-length, belted style with leg straps, wind-cuffs and ventilators under the arms. It's off-white cotton and is a perfect fit. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Sorry Kevin but that really made me chuckle!! Reminds me of when my (then) 8 and 6 year old went on to the internet to look for "riding lessons" I had to do some VERY quick thinking to come up with a non-flappable Mummy answer to the images they brought up...

I am a Rydale convert when it comes to long wet weather ridign jackets. They are good value approx £35 - £40 and last well. They are lightweight with a fleecy lining so you can wear them in the spring and summer when its warmish and wet but they do also give you some warmth. They ahev teh vent at the back to cover the saddle and laeg straps to keep the jacket over your thighs when riding and a detatchable hood. I bought my 1st one when I 1st bought Coco at some horse event and loved it, so replaced it last year. Still use both though and have worn them int eh most hideous weather and been bone dry underneath!
I used to have the wax jackets and jhust remember them being uncomfortable, heavy, yuck anmd slimy when they got wet and smelly and mouldy when they didn't dry properly! Thank god jackets have improved in the last 20 years!

Fortunately, I've never been one to jump into the newest herald of popularity as it pertains to music. It's just the nature of the beast within me that yearns for more than radio play and recommendations from iTunes. With that, an album from a group named We Came as Romans literally fell into my lap, courtesy of a friend of mine and I have been hooked ever since. The album in question was titled Understanding What We've Grown to Be but I couldn't resist the urge to question this towering sound coming from the band We Came as Romans.
Hailing from – gasp – Detroit, We Came as Romans sounds so clean and concise, all the while shattering car speakers with the incessant double bass peddle. The vocals are crisp, almost euphoric, as they masquerade around power chords destined for immortality. All this said, I found myself intrigued with who and what We Came as Romans are. Vocalist for the group, David Stephens, filled in the answers to my personal Scantron sheet as he answered my questions, of which I genuinely wanted to know.
The new We Came as Romans album, Tracing Back Roots, is so thorough in its delivery and every track is attuned to the progressive style the group exudes. How many, if at all, tracks didn't make the final cut?
We went into the studio with almost ten songs and started writing another ten when we got there. Of those if I remember right, we finished 16 but only 11 made it to the album.
I first heard We Came as Romans from the Understanding What We've Grown to Be album but you had another studio album before that, To Plant a Seed, and two other EP's even before that. As clichéd as it sounds, how much has the brand progressed musically since the "infant" years?
Listening back to our earlier stuff, we hardly even sound similar especially when comparing Tracing Back Roots to the Demonstrations EP. With that being said, every time we went in to record something new, the goal wasn't massive changes. We just wrote what we wanted, put as much effort in as we could, and the progression happened naturally. Sure, some of our writing techniques have changed, the way we write songs is different, and we're all better at our individual instruments, but the mindset has always remained the same.
I despise musical genres as definite labels - everyone is classified as post-hardcore, emo-metal, electronicore, etc. However, We Came as Romans literally defines an uncategorized genre. Do you see the group as something that fits into a niche or is We Came as Romans simply playing the music you love, genres be damned?
Genres be damned! I refuse to even read comments on our YouTube because hardly anything said is about the music! It's either a massive argument about what genre we are or if we should have cut our hair. Neither of which should matter because neither have anything to do with what you're LISTENING to.
I ask everyone but I'm ridiculously interested to know: what group/song/album has been stuck on repeat for David Stephens?
The new Architects record; Lost Forever, Lost Together. I've listened to it at least twice a day front to back since it dropped. I'm just blown away by every track. And how does someone sing and scream like that!? Sam is a legend.
Favorite place to play live and why?
Anywhere in the northeast. We've been touring out here longer than anywhere else in the world and it shows through our fans. I've never met more die-hard fans or played shows as crazy as in the northeast of America.
Aaron Gillespie of The Almost lends a hand on Tracing Back Roots. With that, are there any musical influences to some of the music that is written and if so, how much of it affects We Came as Romans?
Underoath was a huge influence on our music and still is to this day! They're also the only band all six of us enjoy listening to.
Any way in hell I can get some insight on the event(s) that inspired the title track Tracing Back Roots?
Sometimes life out on the road can be tough which is where the story of Understanding What We've Grown to Be leaves you. But at the end of the day, the stories we hear from our fans about saving their lives, seeing our lyrics tattooed on them, playing shows where every one of them is singing with us, it makes any hardship worthwhile.
Besides the absurd amount of new fans flocking to We Came as Romans daily, how has the mainstream music industry treated you as a whole, if they've even treated you at all?
We're knocking on their doors and they're starting to say hello. It's so exciting to be meeting with different radio stations, doing live on-air acoustic sets, and expanding our music to new people!
What can we expect from We Came as Romans in the near future?
We're going to keep touring as much as possible and working hard like we always do.
Lastly, why does We Came as Romans kick so much ass?
I love this question! Thank you! I think the main reason is how much we all love doing this and how much fun we have with it.
We Came as Romans' newest album Tracing Back Roots is available now on iTunes and through their website.

Ella Fitzgerald: Every Time We Say Goodbye
Every Time We Say Goodbye
Ella Fitzgerald (vocals)
The Cole Porter Songbook, Volume 1 (Verve)
Ella Fitzgerald (vocals), Ted Nash (flute), Bob Cooper (oboe), Paul Smith (piano, celeste), Barney Kessel (guitar), Alvin Stoller (drums),
Robert Marchina, Edgar Lustgarten (cello); Corky Hale (harp), and 12 unknown violins; 2 unknown violas.
Misha Russell (concert master). Arranged and conducted by Buddy Bregman. Composed by Cole Porter.
Recorded: Hollywood, February 7, 1956
Rating: 100/100 (learn more)
Perhaps the most enduring song from the whole Songbook series, "Every Time We Say Goodbye" from The Cole Porter Songbook dispensed with the big band-isms that provided the backdrop to the series. Instead, the haunting sound of oboe and strings and Ella's liquid vocal give this piece its timeless feel. Ella could never quite understand why it was one of her most popular songs with European audiences, and to this day it is regularly played on European radio stations – not least by the BBC. The Cole Porter Songbook set effectively launched Norman Granz's Verve label, the famous "4000" series initiated with Ella in mind. Its subsequent success when released in 1956 – it went straight to 15 on the Billboard chart, and Down Beat listed it as the second best-selling jazz album – ensured Verve's financial viability and ultimately went on to become one of the best-selling albums of all time, remaining almost constantly in print since its release.

Tom Cruise the godfather of Jennifer Lopez's twins?Ewww.JLo (don't call me JLo) wants babyLo Max and Emme to have Tom Cruise their godfather.
And if you are wondering, JLo and Marc Anthony are Catholic.
A source said: "Tom is delighted. Marc wasn't sure if it was a good idea to have a Scientologist as the kids' godfather, especially as he and Jennifer are both Catholic. But in the end Jennifer managed to convince him to agree."
Tom reportedly has already spent $200,000 on gifts on the kids.
For what?
We have the details.
Says ShowbizSpy Tom reportedly bought $200,000 of "designer christening outfits for Max and Emme, ordered a giant fish tank for their nursery and gave them complete Disney DVD box sets. It has also been claimed Tom and Katie planned to host a star-studded $200,000 'Welcome to the World' themed-party for the fraternal twins."

Final non-rolling applications are heading out the door. People continue to rate their options short of the availability of financial aid awards.
The economy of the 21st century and college loan related student debt crises have changed many people's perspectives regarding investment in the "college experience". No longer is college referred to as an opportunity unless there is a clear return on investment. Going to college is increasingly considered expensive regarding time and money, and warranting specific end process objectives.
As such, colleges that graduate a very high percentage of students, particularly into jobs are in higher demand. Smart money says that institutions that are to be presently considered for an elite education label should no longer be acknowledged primarily based upon the colleges' names and historical social reputations, rather by recent student outcomes.
College application and admission processes are becoming easier. Colleges want to make it simpler for you to matriculate. However, be sure to consider as much as you able in your college selection process (regarding outcomes pertinent to fields specific to your interests) so as to identify the colleges that should return the most for your investment.

If you would like to book me to speak please fill in the form below and I will do my best to make it. My diary does book up quote a long way in advance so please give as much warning as possible.
Hi Krish, just wondering if you are going to be doing your Holistic Disciple making course here in England at any time soon.
Hi Krish,
I heard you speak recently at the SU conference in northhampton. I have just begun a new job as a schools worker as well as a children's worker. I wondered if you can give me any advice on how to develop all age worship services, is this something you do at your church. The church I work for is currently doing them once a month, however they are not very inclusive. Can you recommend any good books, any tips would be helpful.
One day conference for (multi denominational) Clergy at the Ice House Christian Centre. Expecting say 100 delegates.
Issues/ideas on stemming decline, inceasing engagement, getting past institutional religious dogma and Church division/competing for congregations.
Date -preferred Sat 12th July 2014 – possible 5th July.
Hi Krish,
My name is Ben Cook and I am a youth minister working in Solihull, Birmingham.
I have been asked by Soul Survivor to lead a seminar on 'social media' at this years festivals and I am in the middle of my planning.
As you know the social media medium is used by the majority of young people and I want my seminar to focus in on how young followers of Jesus should approach their online presence. My seminar will focus in on four areas: Identity, Integrity, Discipleship and Accountability.
I was wondering if you could record yourself for maybe 30 seconds – 1 minute answering a small question on each of these topics to be shown either after I have spoken on the topic or before it to set the mood and draw on your wide experience.
Your expertise and wisdom would be greatly appreciated for me and for the young people coming (hopefully!) to my seminar!
Ben Cook
Hi Krish
Voices of Christmas….What an incredible event!!!
I was truly touched by your message. I totally agree about the birth of Jesus not being a cosy thing. We have domesticated it to such extent that we have neutralised its power. The banal monochrome of everyday life must be irrupted by the drama of the nativity for the colourfulness of original creation to come into view. We saw flashes of the rainbow last night!
I left with real joy in my heart.
Thank you

- Is it OK to run multiple mDNS responders on the same machine?
- No, it is not OK. Sooner or later some mDNS features known as "Known Answer Suppression" and "Unicast Reply" (and probably some more) will result in problems if more than one responder runs on the same machine.
- May I enable the mDNS reflector on multiple hosts accessing the same two networks?
- No, don't do that. Queries will be looped, and sooner or later your network will be stalled with mDNS traffic.
- Avahi doesn't work, it doesn't register or find any services and doesn't resolve mDNS host names!
- Make sure:
- That you run a recent Kernel (both Linux 2.4 and 2.6 should work) with IP Multicasting enabled
- That you run only one mDNS stack
- That you disabled all local firewalls (This includes disabling the Firestarter default FW), at least for UDP traffic from and to port 5353
- That you don't use a crappy NDISWrapper driver or proprietary WLAN driver that doesn't support multicasting properly
- If you want the entire system to resolve .local domain names, nss-mdns is for you
- Make sure:
- Does avahi run on non-Linux operating systems?
- Avahi 0.6 runs on Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Solaris and Darwin/MacOSX. There is some preliminary support for OpenBSD. Avahi still lacks Win32 support. You're welcome to help porting!
- Blah, you fools, glib is bloat and sucks!
- Avahi doesn't depend on glib. Yet it comes with a glib event loop adapter. Use --disable-glib to disable building it.
- Blah, you fools, D-Bus is bloat and sucks!
- Then Avahi is not for you, sorry. As it seems we think a little different about D-Bus than you do.
- Why did you implement yet another free mDNS stack? Apple released their code under a free license!
- The "freeness" of the license Apple used is questionnable, e.g. the Debian project decided to not include code under APSL (Bonjour is now licensed under the Apache License 2.0). In addition we consider our code superior to Apple's in many aspects. In case you want to flame us on this topic, our email address is /dev/null.
- Will Avahi work without a GUI and/or X/GNOME/KDE?
- Yes, while Avahi is most often useful in a GUI with some kind of program, actual use of its libraries are in no way tied to X, GNOME, KDE or any other kind of GUI. The screenshot we show here is simply of a tool which displays services on the network (It's really just a demonstration). One example is that you can use the static service files (/etc/avahi/services/) to advertise some services on a head-less machine, e.g. a WEB or FTP server.
- I want to bridge two networks that are connected via a VPN regarding mDNS. Avahi doesn't let me!
- By default Avahi will not consider a Point-To-Point link (such as a VPN link) for mDNS traffic. This has multiple reasons. One is security, since usually P-t-P links are used for connections to the Internet. Secondly, P-t-P links are usually much slower latency-wise than normal Ethernet based LAN. mDNS however is designed exclusively for low-latency networks. A number of timeout limitations inhibit the use of mDNS over long-latency links. Finally, multicasting is usually not supported or at least cumbersome on P-t-P links. If you still want to use Avahi with P-t-P links, you can enable the allow-point-to-point= option in Avahi's configuration file. But don't come to us and whine when it doesn't work for you. YMMV.
- How can I tell Avahi to ignore certain network interfaces?
- Right now Avahi will make use of all suitable network interfaces, there is no configuration option to restrict the interfaces used. However, there is a trick to make sure that Avahi ignores specific interfaces: remove the MULTICAST bit from the interface flags. You can do this with ifconfig like this:
ifconfig eth1 -multicast
- Keep in mind that this might disable multicasting for other applications, too. Since only very few programs make use of multicasting this is usally not much a problem, though.
- To automatically remove the MULTICAST bit using udev on specific interfaces, add a file to /etc/udev/rules.d containing this (replace "RULE TO MATCH DEVICES" with correct rule):
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", KERNEL=="RULE TO MATCH DEVICES", PROGRAM="/sbin/ifconfig %k -multicast"
- Right now Avahi will make use of all suitable network interfaces, there is no configuration option to restrict the interfaces used. However, there is a trick to make sure that Avahi ignores specific interfaces: remove the MULTICAST bit from the interface flags. You can do this with ifconfig like this:
- I installed Avahi and now I cannot resolve hosts from my unicast DNS zone .local!
- Please read AvahiAndUnicastDotLocal
- avahi-discover doesn't find my bonjour-enabled HP printer/other device!
- Not all mDNS implementations (especially embedded ones) support the special protocol extension that is required to allow avahi-discover to find a service without asking for a specific service type. Thus, some printers and a few other devices will not show up in avahi-discover. You should, however, be able to find them if you look for them with avahi-browse and specify service type you are looking for. e.g.: avahi-browse _ipp._tcp
- I want to write a TCP server application that automatically chooses a free IP port for listening and then announces it via Avahi. How do I do that best?
- Just create the socket and call listen() on it. Then, the IP stack will automatically assign a free port number. Use getsockname() to query the port number that has been chosen and use that when registering the Avahi service. An example how to do this may be found in our GIT
- I get a lot of IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP failed: No buffer space available messages in syslog!
- Increase your /proc/sys/net/ipv4/igmp_max_memberships (on Linux)
- My system running Avahi can see all services on the network but its own services can not be seen on other machines (or vice versa)!
- Make sure that you are not running a firewall that blocks multicast traffic on port 5353, group 22.214.171.124. If that's not the issue then you most likely are experiencing trouble with a broken network driver or WLAN AP, which doesn't properly support IP multicasting. Try to set the ALLMULTI or even PROMISC flags for your interface with ifconfig. Also, try to enable UPnP support in your router (because some routers disable multicasting if UPnP is not enabled). And check with wireshark what traffic is actually being generated and where it is lost!
You can read the man pages online:
- avahi-daemon(8)
- avahi-daemon.conf(5)
- avahi.service(5)
- avahi.hosts(5)
- avahi-dnsconfd(8)
- avahi-dnsconfd.action(8)
- avahi-browse(1)
- avahi-publish(1)
- avahi-resolve(1)
- avahi-discover(1)
- avahi-bookmarks(1)
- avahi-set-host-name(1)
- avahi-autoipd(8)
- avahi-autoipd.action(8)
- bssh(1)
There's also some information about AvahiAutoipd available, and about AvahiAndUnicastDotLocal.
Some wifi cards using proprietary or ndiswrapper drivers may not work. The following cards require specific customisation:
- Linksys (lsbcmnds ndiswrapper driver) - not working. Occasionally seen in Avahi browser when avahi-daemon is restarted, but queries soon timeout. Unable to see other machines. Note - iwconfig notes that "Warning: Driver for device wlan0 recommend version 18 of Wireless Extension, but has been compiled with version 17, therefore some driver features may not be available..."

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Jill Kelley is furious that her personal cellphone telephone number and home address were released by Tampa Police last weekend. Where does Jill Kelley leave and how can you reach her on the phone? The Tampa Police revealed that last weekend when they released to the public her number and address. At the time, Kelley contacted the City to claim they aren't helping her. Since then Jill Kelley has emailed the Mayor of Tampa repeatedly furious about the City's conduct. And now the Mayor is releasing those emails from Jill Kelley as well.
Last Sunday, tapes were released in the Kelley matter. But apparently, Tampa Police is now claiming that Kelley called the non emergency line, not 911, and that any information on that line is all public record.

Police spokeswoman Andrea Davis issued a news statement to TBO.com this weekend stating "Anything that identifies a 911 caller is redacted. [But if] You call the non emergency line [like Kelley], it is all public record. If you want your identity protected when calling law enforcement in Florida, call 911."
Davis admits that Jill Kelley's personal cellphone number and home address were released to news and the public because she called a non-emmergency number.

So what did the City do next? They released Friday emails from Kelley to her Mayor Bob Buckhorn angry about the City releasing her communications to the press. "My family has been put through the ringer, and my kids are scared. … And to put insult to injury, your police dept gave the local 911 tapes to the press!" says Kelley.
In another email, she writes "I have been receiving threats all night, by people who now have my cell phone number. I cannot understand why your dept would release my address and cell number, and make me and my daughters in harms way."

Kelley says "paparazzi" are following her and that she needs City protection. "… They're blocking our alley, our driveway, and continue to trespass on my property. My kids are scared and need their home back." She adds "I'm scared and cannot believe what my City – in which I have contributed so much of my love, time, money and leadership – has now done to me and my innocent family". The City has yet to indicate to news what "leadership" Kelley has provided.
