The woods were silent except for the shifting
soft sounds of his hooves as they fell upon
the forest floor. There he stood amid the mist in
his white majestic coat calling to me to come
to him and ride upon his back, vanish with him,
(as the sun lay dying into quiet shades of twilight)
into an unknown sacred realm where no
one's footsteps could follow.
I stroked his soft warm velvet nose and felt the
subtle flair of his nostrils breath on my hand.
When I climbed upon his back we rode
as one as our love and trust in each other
had slowly grown into a synergy unsurpassed.
Moonlight filtered through the verdant trees
as darkness enveloped the starry sky.
Suddenly we found ourselves in a glade
where we were surrounded by the soft glow
of tiny faeries as numerous as fireflies.
We were warmly welcomed into their sacred
sanctuary and I felt enchanted by their sylvan
beauty as two tiny faeries braided long strands
of my golden hair, intertwining fragrant flowers.
I was asked if I would help to keep the forest
safe from clear cutting, and I promised I would.
I awoke to the faint sound of hoofbeats as dawn
was rising and there were pretty flowers in my hair.

Poem of the Day April 4, 2016

Fool of Infiniti
A wanton bird pecks at the stars
A Jester peers through crystal bars
This prison of love with rainbow hue
Illusion parts to lets you through
On dragon wings forever free
You quest into your dreams to see
Smoke and mirrors and shadow haze
To guide you through an endless maze
Slow motion tear rolls down her cheek
Its only passion that you seek ?
Engulfed in strange duality.
She wonders her reality
Your eyes still mock her with desire
Your kisses light her inner fire
Your touch can melt her to your will
But you will never take your fill
Black widow spider guards your heart
She spun the web, she keeps it taut
It is your only fatal flaw.
A secret, silent metaphor.
And all about her swirl the dreams
The nightmares all with voiceless screams
And in her hand the strangest key
To fit the door of What Will Be ?
And when her eyes search yours again
You take her to the spider den
You spin the dreams she hopes to see
And lock your hearts in mystery.
So enter in to lick the flame
Eternal prisoner of the game
Illusion is false imagery
She whispers your Infinity
The Queen of Fate
The Queen of Fate by the outer Gate
Her carriage to Nowhere, will await
Her cloak is wrapped against the night
Her eyes are wide with peculiar fright
Gray horses eyes turn back in fear
With thunderclaps upon her ear
Blue jagged lightning points the way
Along the path to yesterday
Cold, sullen driver cracks his whip
His crooked smile curls round his lip
His horses leap the cruel abyss
Dark Queen of Fate sees none amiss
Above the mist a gate appears
Who will wipe the Gate-man's tears ?
Gray horses strike and paw the air
Fate Queen ascends the carriage stair
And all about her swirl the dreams
The nightmares all with voiceless screams
And in her hand a wondrous key
To lock Enigma's Mystery
Pass through the gate O Queen of Fate
Another carriage will await
Drawn by Steeds of Promises
Illusion Starts and Finishes

Sixteen years old and in a world of her own
Confined to life lived in a wheelchair
Ever since birth, doctors don't know what went wrong
But, it was like no one was at home in there
One summer vacation with the other kids in tow
The family visited a Kentucky horse stable
They left her alone in a sunny grass meadow
While off riding with the children who were able
While sitting alone in a catatonic state
Staring out somewhere in space
A gelding that was grazing, Mr. Truly Amazing
Came up and licked her on the face
The family returned to a shocking surprise
Seeing the wheelchair left unoccupied
They looked all around, then couldn't believe their eyes
When they saw her standing with a horse by her side
She was petting his nose, feeding him an apple
And seemed to be whispering something
They were frozen in their tracks not believing the fact
That their Jenny was no longer a nothing
The mother walked up, in a delicate manner
Not wanting to interrupt this miracle's course
When Jenny turned to her and in a shallow voice
Whispered, "Look, Mommy, I have a horse"

Like the UNICORN
At times I fear I am the mysterious of all animals
Like the Unicorn, I myself do not feel real
My inner beauty is the only thing to conceal
I am my own mythological creature
Roaming souls with a little will power to heal
Ages of my forgotten tear
Like the Unicorns a prophecy so unclear
I compare your beauty to be the eyes of stare
I am a magical power so rare
Absorbing the energy of the sun into a spear
I appear like the wild horse
I have no feelings of real existence, my life with no compare
Embracing all memories to disappear
Wasting away absorbing nature's life
Haunted down by a hunters knife
Thousands of wolves hungry to eat me alive
Fallen legends and myth
Pondering in a past life who I am
I feel a touch upon my bones
Am I he the Unicorn
A horse with one horn
Unlike the Unicorn who fell to exist
My suffering really does exist
How I wish everything was fake
To be like you hiding upon the mist
Like the Unicorn who is a horse with no horn
Like a nobody when my life slips into the abyss
A depth of wishing to have never been born
With the vision of Heaven's Realm with a Unicorn twist
Like the Unicorn who only exist in Legends and Myth.
I come and go like a blown kiss
Shedding tears feeling all alone
I want to be like the Unicorn who are bound to roam
Take me away from this wonders of thorns
Give me a magic Medallion to free myself from the pits
Infatuated with the gorgeous Unicorn
A passion among beauty is where I exist

It came from the sky, a gray silver stallion.
I looked up high, and I have also seen a dragon.
With so many things in this universe.
I'm on stand-by with a camera in my purse.
Who would have known I'd be the first to spot a PEGASUS.
The town folks wave hi every time I walk my hippopotamus.
I enjoy showing everyone, my pictures of a flying horse.
I don't see why they call a DOCTOR every time I call the TASK FORCE
I think they are jealous over all the things I've seen.
They act all crazy since I sighted a LEPRECHAUN when I was fourteen.
No one ever believed me when I saw an army of dragonflies.
They have a name for me "the boy who See's too much in the skies!"
I don't know why they can't see what I see.
For all I know they are all experiments under Alien Technology.
They don't believe me how I got this magic MEDALLION.
It was a friendly gift from the silver stallion.
I also have many pictures of a UNICORN.
We became best-friends when he gave me a piece of its magic horn.
We sat together while he drank from the lake.
We enjoyed talking, --talking about how U.F.O.'s are fake.
Why can't they see? The day I fell off a boat, I got rescued by a MERMAID!
Who would have known a mermaid swim around with first-aid.
I also remember the day I followed a LEPRECHAUNS.
We were playing under the rainbow having so much fun.
When I told my doctor about all the things I've seen.
He locked me in a DUNGEON, thinking I was the ALIEN QUEEN.
I begged and I told him I don't believe in any type of alien.
Too bad the master of this dungeon came from another region.
In a way he looks like that one SILVER STALLION from Mars.
The first creature I'd seen the day I fell off the monkey bars.
I have this picture of this horse of course.
JUST help me out of this white-jacket!!! ;-)
If you want to see the coolest picture of a flying horse.

As if dropped down from crystal sky,
two mares through water run
so free.
They gleam the dream of Gemini -
white beauty in the sun
and sea.

Have some time to spare in-between a work schedule
burning me from the inside, out.
Wasted too much time on the computer already,
my body aches from physical inactivity.
Thoughts are racing faster than the speed of light,
the routine of modern life is trying to cage in a free spirit-
a pen for a wild horse with boundless energy,
a strong kick and large teeth.
Haven't come down to this part of the bay for years.
Not sure why anymore?
Not too sure about anything right now.
Believed I was too young to be having these thoughts,
but here they come like a booming drum beat,
keeping time with the pounding of my heart,
but always just a little louder,
to remind me how this warning isn't about to depart.
The putrid stench of kelp and dead crabs
baking in the afternoon sun,
curls up my nostrils, awakening memories of childhood....
....the salt in the sea is the salt in my blood;
we have been one since conception.
The salty, deep green rot, smells like bliss to me,
compared with the scents of over-heated wires,
burnt coffee, and industrial-gray carpeting.
Sit down on a large chunk of driftwood.
The waves aren't crashing in their usual rhythmic crescendo,
but lapping quietly like chortling laughter.
The ocean is chuckling,
laughing at my insignificance
in comparison to its almost limitless horizon
of cruel, cold water.
A familiar pungent aroma creeps my way-
the high citrus scent of bergamot
mixed with the sweet perfume of skunk.
Two young punks are hauling on some reefer
up the beach from where I am sitting.
Can hear their youthful, carefree chatter.
The last time I smoked weed, seems eons ago now.
The smell invokes the rebel still alive inside,
giving a glimpse of who I had once been-
eyes blazing red,
mind full of humble awe
flying high above the clouds like an eagle.
The shrill cries of gulls fighting over a starfish
breaks my stupor of reminiscence,
reminding me of the hungry ways of nature-
the hungry ways of mankind and money.
Damn! My stupid job awaits!
As I make my way back,
pant legs causing the sand grass
to sigh in dry moans and whispers,
I make up my mind to visit
this old stomping ground more often.
In fact, I might start coming out here
on all of my lunch breaks.
Out here, the wild horse has ample room to roam,
even if for only a few moments of escape-
an illusion of escape is far better
than having only stifled dreams
and no hope left at all-
feel much better already.

Though Santa never responded to pleas
There was just one gift on my list each year
A horse that could run at the speed of light
A bold little gal; I never had fear
With two high school friends I visited a ranch
To ride in 103-degree heat
Through the bramble bushes and prickly pears
Upon little "Misty" I took my seat
The Mustang Adoption Program's success
Sparked ranchers from Tucson, Arizona
To give a home to a rust-colored mare
Many miles from my home near Daytona
Cryptic white markings graced Misty's neck
Looked like words in Native American code
"She's so small," I whined, seeking to ride fast
But no matter, to the desert we rode
Even the roadrunners were envious
When Misty gained speed and hit her full stride
Warp speed! I clung to the saddle horn
As Misty passed larger horses with pride
My hat fell on a cactus, sweat filled my eyes
My life flashed before me, quite a surprise
It seemed like she had wings as we flew
Don't be quick to judge a horse by its size
I thank Misty often for the ride she gave me
She fulfilled my dream and gave me a thrill
But on the news today a reporter said
Wild horses would now be rounded up and killed
I'm so grateful I had the chance to ride
A wild horse with spirit and awesome speed
But what will become of her ancestors
Misty's now part of a vanishing breed

When doves on evenings, calm and still, call out a hollow tone,
They rouse a medley, old as time, so few have ever known.
The whispered lines of its refrains resound of yesterday,
In ancient tales and bygone trails that man cannot portray.
I've rode and worked along a trail throughout my many years.
I've heard the tales the sages tell of raging Longhorn steers,
Of soldiers marching single file or mounted days on end,
Of Indians, conquistadors and Rangers tracking men.
Mackenzie Trail is not well known for time obscures its fame,
But high regard is placed on it by those who know its name.
Its story's scribed in black and white, its remnants etched in stone,
Its way was marked by sweat and blood, by grave and bleaching bone.
The broad frontier that it traversed had yet to be surveyed
And danger seemed to lie in wait at every turn and grade.
From Fort Clark Springs to forts on north, it led Mackenzie's men
To risk their lives out on the trail, then brought them home again.
A mound lies near Mackenzie Lake, where horse thieves met despair,
For Rangers tracked their hurried trail and hung them then and there.
And near a barn not far away, in Live Oaks' blissful shade,
The remnants of a camp still lie where soldiers often laid.
I've rode the trail and damned the rock that cost my horse a shoe.
I've crossed its draws that filled with rain and made my lips turn blue.
Its rugged paths have tested me and all who've come this way,
Yet, it remains my trail through time, my bond with yesterday.
Mackenzie Trail will long survive, a monument to will,
That I recall when I ride near on evenings, calm and still;
When doves exclaim in harmony, their lonely, hollow tone
And rouse the medley, old as time, so few have ever known.

I lay my head upon the softness of its mane
My white charger, no knight for a swain
as I am the gallant rider looking for love.
Riding the green valleys with mountains above,
looking for hope in natures fertile plain
A dream, a carousel of tears and pain
With bobbing horses making a colourful train
Flying above a sure sign of hope, a dove
I lay my head
Imagination in play as I search in vain
Why from happiness must I abstain
My empty heart crying out to those above
Praying each night, please bring me love
Grabbing a handful of the silky white mane
I lay my head

Plunked down in chaos
from a gentler time,
blinkered from the traffic
he pulls the coach along.
Patient, in his harness bond
he tugs at hearts, with pathos-
as to his love of duty we respond.
Amidst the screech of sirens
and the blasting horns,
he stands and dreams
of meadows in a nosebag.
Such rhythmic clicking of
metal shoes on concrete,
full rolling of the carriage
wheels and he, confined,
down through the centuries
he thought he'd left behind.
My Molly May
I had a little pony
I called her Molly May
So often I would venture out
And feed her bales of hay.
So then she'd frolic
Kick her heels up high
Round and round she would run
Looking sweet as she passed by.
She'd run until she was worn out
Then to the stable she would go
I'd bed her down then for the night
My love for her each day would grow
She was my, cutest Molly may
This pony always made my day.

When the world practises Tao,
horses fertilize the fields.
When the world ignores Tao,
horses are bred for war.
The Tao Te Ching of Lao Tzu
Lest We Forget the Horses
Time speaks of history
a vast and empty sadness
washes over me
watching old newsreels
Highstepping horses,
gentle eyes transformed in fear
valiantly charging
under men that could not yield
Amid the noise of cannons
their beauty- gently haunting
Spirited, obedient, valiant
they charge over the
death-filled battle-field
Now the faded image shows
a glory past and gone
Yet we must remember them
And how their courage shone
Sides flecked with foam, obedient spirits,
so far from home, hoofbeats pound,
crested necks, high dancing steps,
with jingling bridles they rush as one,
hearts bursting, falling in their stride,
somehow they know how desperate
is this final, fatal charge
Faded film of ages gone
Lest we forget the horses
or the majesty of them
Lest we forget them
or the men who spurred them on
In solemn re-enactment
we must remember them.

I squint my eyes from the glaring sun
As I drive cattle across the open range.
I am the youngest hand, so I ride drag
Covered by the dust stirred into the wind.
This is the life I have chosen
To hear the steady creaking of my saddle
The songs of the cowboys as they lead the herd
The lowing cattle as they smell water.
This is the life I live
To see the endless stretches of prairie
The hens and rabbits scuttling away
The ponderous beasts flowing in a living stream.
This is the life I love
Watching the horses graze peacefully at night
The cattle milling about during my night ride
My horse's gentle breathing as I circle them.
May this be my lot while here I remain
May I drink from the freely flowing streams
And breathe the pairie air until I die.
Whether life be short or long
May I ever onward toil, and be content
With the satisfaction of honest work
With the steady pounding of hooves
Biscuits and chili by a wavering fire
And sleeping under the sky on the open range.

In a horse life.We can play with a burlap feed
bag, an empty milk jug, or chew on the barn stall
door.Just to kill some time, or to kill some every
day bordom.In a horse life.We get names like
Black Beauty, Flicka, Seabiscuit, or Secretariat.
In a horse life.We do tricks like bowing our heads
down, or placing our shoe upon a pedastool.Picking
up the cowboy hat.While tapping our feet rata-tat-tat.
In a horse life.We like a good block of salt.With lots
of minerals, to lick upon.A wholesome bale of hay.To
start off a brand new day.Or a bucket of grain.To keep
us all healthy, fat, and sane.And a fresh bucket of water,
to wash it all down.In a horse life.I could be losing a
horseshoe.While the rider is losing his mind.In a horse
life.We can be a workhorse, a race horse, or a trick pony.
Or maybe a showhorse, or possibly a circus horse.With
out all the phoney baloney.In a horse life.We can run all
day in the open sun, or run the race trak.While the betters
place their wagers.Of course, at the horse racing track
betters window.In a horse life..

Alone figure stands,
On sunsets rock.
Summers hot breezes brush,
Against bare skins flesh.
Stalking the ageless path.
Behold histories Indian brave,
Man, and horse intertwined.
Symbiotic beings joined,
They are one.
The spirit rider gallops,
Across freedoms trail.
Cautiously, allying arrow unto bow,
Aiming swiftly his shot to kill.
Guardian's raging bull charges,
Protectors sacrifice, blood mingles,
Amongst dust clouds aftermath,
His majesty lies slain.
Dark brown eyes close,
Glimpsing blue sky for the,
Last time.
Heavens prairies, welcome destiny's,
Honorable foe,
The hunter kneels beside the giant's,
Stilled heart,
Giving thanks, singing chants rise,
Ascending heights greener,
Pastures unto a higher plain.
It echoes in valleys deep,
Touching the lands of his,
Fore fathers.
Tonight beneath flames tribal fires,
Rhythms beating drums, gives praise,
Many shall celebrate, feasting,
In memories tribute,

The oncoming truck swerved into my lane
And there was not enough time for veering
But I was suddenly relieved from the pain
By a golden horse with hind legs rearing
We galloped straight down the road for apace
And then turned onto a large green expanse
I hung on tightly, not used to a race
Though I was willing to give it a chance
My dull senses were roused on the fresh field
And my pale skin warmed from the sun outside
I slowly loosened my grip and revealed
That I could never fall off if I tried
I shouted out with a vivacious voice
Unlike the one that was used to hiding
With newfound feelings that made me rejoice
Due to the golden horse I was riding
In an instant we reached the tall mountains
That I'd only seen in big picture books
The kind with dreamlike waterfall fountains
That we climbed up without a second look
There were no hurdles too large in our way
Or tough boulders too slippery or coarse
That could in the slightest ever delay
Or stop the progress of my golden horse
We moved as swift as if running downhill
Giving me motive to close my own eyes
But once at the top got an awful chill
When the brave stallion leaped into the skies
This time I shouted out "Why in god's name
Must I be saddled on this golden horse!?"
For a deed like this is truly insane
Until knowing my death, fulfilled its course

It took me a steel horse with wings of feather
To ride me through heavy thunder clouds
Through troubles and struggles it led me..
Knowing there would be sunshine behind those heavy clouds
Riding on top of black and darkened storm clouds
Knowing at some point I needed to dive into it
The steel horses`armored exterior withstood it all..
Hail,lightning,furious turbolence combined with unhuman forces
Sunlight drying me face as my steel horse leads me out of it
Now wings of feather takes over,and smoothly we drift towards the sun..

Cowboys in the Badlands
Out West, across the great divide
great open spaces oceans wide.
Beauty in these badlands does hide
everything fights us as we ride.
Last stop, was exciting wild Abilene
shot an hombre that was very mean.
Watched him bleed as he slowly died
his gal held him and loudly she cried.
Before, she had sworn love to me
next his dying love she swore to be.
Riding away fast, ahead of the Law
looking back, cloud of dust we saw.
My partner lit out on me last night
cried this was surely not his fight.
He turned back east galloping so fast
we had our time, had a damn blast.
Ahead the badlands beckon me on
this cowboy life sets me all alone.
Hot as hell the water miles ahead
A night's rest to clear my head.
Morning sun woke me to great heat
no bread, bacon and eggs to eat.
Precious water is in very short supply
always fleeing, I ponder just why.
No time to enjoy such pretty views
my path ahead, my life I must choose.
Avoiding Indians and the chasing men
forever alone with never a friend.
This beauty now I can slow to see
posse has surely given up on me.
Coyotes call , rattlesnakes do hiss
comfort of town I do sorely miss.
Found now, a dusty trail to old Mexico
across the Rio Grande I now go.
Far behind, hell's horses race after me
dancing with pretty senoritas I'll soon be!

Rather lost, they stare over the divide,
how best to circumnavigate this obstacle?
They can see a path gently sloping down
but it is far off to the north two days ride.
West is back from whence they had come,
east is an impassable cliff of sheer rocks.
They can not see far to the south but maybe,
they talk it over and head into the unknown.
Tumble weed rolling by pushed by the wind
as playfully it blows them into their path.
Miniscule trees dot the flat plateau
and small shrubs popping up here and there.
In a hurry they head on swiftly southwards
and soon start to descend to the valley below.
Billy is pale with anxiety as they push on
his wife Betty is due to give birth.
Sammy casts worried looks at his friend knowing
there is little he can say that will help.
At last they reach the valley and gallop on
Just another five miles will they make it in time?
Their horses now struggling, sweat pouring off them.
Billy's homestead comes into view cattle scattering
as they gallop through the herd and into the yard.
Sammy hangs back as Billy dashes in to Betty.
In full labour she screams "Where have you been?"
"The preacher is here to wed us. Did you get the ring?"
"I have it here" said Billy and without delay they were married.
And within minutes the twins arrived a boy and girl both bawling.
"Geezers you cut that close Billy" said Sammy
as they slumped on the front porch drinking beer.
"We made it in the nick of time" replied Billy
flushed with the joy and fulfilment of life.

I stand in silence and behold the sight,
staring in wonder, waiting for thunder.
A chariot of fire travels through the night.
The white-winged horses gallop in full flight
pulling at the reins; flowing are their manes.
I stand in silence and behold the sight.
Where are they going? There's a shining light
leading all the way, so they will not stray.
A chariot of fire travels through the night
amidst the heaven where in pure delight
resides the Master, the sweetest lover.
I stand in silence and behold the sight.
Blessings whisked to amble slowly with plight;
heartbeats race to sway, courage on display.
A chariot of fire travels through the night.
Armoured by God's spirit they ride like knights
fearless from pain; victory, their peak gain.
I stand in silence and behold the sight.
A chariot of fire travels through the night.

They Hang Horses, Don't They?
Once a strange structure appeared in a barn yard
difficult not to notice
A scaffold to hang horses
for throwing their masters
Dumb and never protesting
they were led up the ramp
built like a stairway to heaven
There was never any
last minute salvation
No 'Pegasus' wings that
sprouted from the withers
Hooves crossed on the chest
each was duly blest
and I wonder if each
mistook the noose for
a lasso around its neck
With one somb're bell a'ringing
The hangman pulled the lever
'There are no last minute requests
for horses being executed'
Justice done again?
yet it seems
in the equine world
hanging has served
as no deterrant
Inherant in all horses
is an urge to
throw their masters.
I took my periodic stroll through the local antique store today.
There were the usual horse collars, clocks and various sundries on display.
Havin' no need fer horse collars and sech, I quickly passed them by,
But a paintin' of an abandoned stagecoach really caught my eye!
The artist depicted it in a field overgrown with tumbleweeds and brambles.
It looked so very forlorn, its former glory now in a total shambles!
I contemplated this poignant scene and mused upon its past,
And how it may have helped conquer the western frontier so very vast!
I could picture the cranky driver a-cussin' and crackin' his leather whip,
Stingin' the ears of his cantankerous mules urgin' them on to a faster clip!
As they raced across arid deserts and rounded treacherous mountain curves,
How the passengers must've been jostled, gittin' on each others nerves!
I visualized the characters that old stage must've transported to the west!
There were gamblers seekin' suckers, concealin' ample aces in their vest!
Platoons of preachers clutchin' their Bibles were numbered 'mongst the hosts,
And young and innocent teachers were headin' west to teach at army posts!
Soiled doves, plyin' their trade, were headed fer sawdust saloons.
I wondered if the old stage had ever been sacked by outlaws and their goons.
I reckon the old derelict had earned its repose - its axles no longer squeal.
If only that old stage could speak! My oh my! The secrets it might reveal!

The trail was long and very dusty
great clouds churned up by hooves
of the vast herd being wrangled on
300 more miles of eating their dust
Bandana's tightly wrapped round faces
cries of "get up there" ringing out
bawling calves separated from mothers
hiss of hot branding irons scorching
A rumbling constantly moving mass
stretching back as far as eyes can see
horses reeling back and forth, pushing
always pushing them on, 200 miles to go
Storm is approaching as they settle down
tightly bunched up wranglers keeping watch
hard as nails falls the rain, lashing down
cattle milling round and round as flashes
Of lightning light up the sky causing
restless beasts to try to break and flee away
tumultuous thunder now joining in causing panic
"Keep them circling, don't let them break out"
Came the cries of the foreman as they tried to hold
chuck wagon knocked over as through camp they run
woe to anyone on foot or even a thrown rider
"keep them going south, They will stop at the river"
Gradually the storm quietens and dies down
first light shows how scattered they are
some needing to be shot where they lay mangled
the rest pushed through the river to the plains
Here they can be regrouped, lush grasses to eat
no urgency now 10 miles or so a day we push them
letting them gain some more weight, 50 miles to go
the foreman sends two men on to warn the yards
At last they see the rail tracks, only 15 miles away
"one last big push lads and we will have them there
tonight we will wet our whistles and eat like kings"
hot tubs to soak in, washing away dirt that is caked
We push them into the waiting pens as they bawl and churn
settled now with fresh hay and water the plaintive calls
of mothers looking for their calves, the wranglers push
them together keeping the bulls apart, they will ship first
Now work is done, 800 miles or so we have driven them
it is time to relax and let our hair down, find ladies
of the night with which to dally for awhile, some poker
played, several fights break out over who gets which one
As dawn breaks low rumbles from the pens as the cattle stir
the town but for a few still fast asleep, until the train
spitting steam and smoke arrives, and buyers now alight
many offers are made and rejected out of hand, these cows
Are already sold to keep our armies fed as they war against
the Maverick Indians, that are plundering the homesteads
30,000 at first of drove, now reduced to 27,000 or so
loaded up on the train our job is done we are homeward bound

Creature of myths and legends
most deny that you ever exist
yet time after time you reappear
history the world wide names you
Depicts you with spiral single horn
gleaming white starry coat
its said only in a virgin you trust
when you will lay your head
In her lap as she tames
your ferocity and wildness
only then can you be caught
yet should we capture you?
Is it not best to leave you free?
some things are best left alone
never to be proved as fact
I know I believe you to be real
Yet a wondrous creature living hidden
that forever free and wild should be
allowed to roam in our minds and hearts
bringing hope and joy to future generations

The unicorn is a legendary animal from European folklore that resembles a white horse with a large, pointed, spiralling horn projecting from its forehead, and cloven hooves. First mentioned by the ancient Greeks, it became the most important imaginary animal of the Middle Ages and Renaissance when it was commonly described as an extremely wild woodland creature, a symbol of purity and grace, which could only be captured by a virgin. In the encyclopedias its horn was said to have the power to render poisoned water potable and to heal sickness.

Lomita Real Estate & Homes for Sale in California

It wasn't until 1923 when black gold was discovered here that things began to change.

The community�s approximate 20,000 residents spiritedly partake of the city�s many family and community events, including Western Family Fun Night and Lomita Founder�s Day Fair. Industries that provide employment in Lomita include educational, health and social services, manufacturing, retail trade, and professional, scientific, management, administrative, and waste management services. Students in grades K-12 are served by schools of the Los Angeles Unified School District. Several colleges and universities are in close proximity � including the University of Southern California � for those who wish to attain a degree in higher education. The Lomita Parks and Recreation Department offers abounding recreational programs and activities for residents, including cultural dance programs � with belly dancing, Polynesian dancing, ballet, jazz, tap and Mexican folklorico dancing � youth and adult individual sports programs, youth and adult cultural programs and youth and adult team sport programs, all with long lists of options, from ice skating to yoga.

Welcome to bpurcell.org, the personal homepage of Brandon Purcell. I started building bpurcell.org many, many years ago to share information I ran across everyday in my role as a Support Engineer and Consultant for Macromedia/Adobe. As a support engineer and consultant I always had a lot to blog about but as I moved into managment roles at Adobe my technical content dwindled.
I currently work as the Director of Technology for Universal Mind. My primary responsiblity is managing the SpatialKey project and it has been an amazing experience. I have been spending a lot of time working with Amazon Ec2 and will share my experiences through the blog in the future. I truly believe that Cloud Computing is the IT platform of the future and we have built the SpatialKey architecture on top of Ec2.
As you may already know Flex 1.0 is now available. There are tons of resources available on Flex and I will help you find them. I have spent most of the last few months working a lot with Flex and have really grown to love it. The excitement I felt when I started working with CF back in 1997 I am feeling all over again with Flex. The Applications you can build are truly amazing and the great thing is I don't have to be an accomplished designer to build it.
You will first want to start with http://www.macromedia.com/software/flex/ to understand what Flex is and if it fits your needs.
Next, you will want to read the articles from the Flex Developers Center. You will find everything from Building your first Flex application to Architecting Flex Applications. To keep up with all of the latest information I suggest you check out the following blogs:

You can find help at the Flex Support site as well. The Flex support team has been working hard as well publishing technotes to help solve common issues developers will run into.

Kris Humphries to Kim Kardashian: 'No One Will Probably Care About You' (VIDEO)
A just-released promo for the upcoming season of "Kourtney and Kim Take New York" seems to hint at the issues that led to today's news that Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries will divorce.
The clip, which shows Kim and sister Kourtney gallivanting around Manhattan with their men, Humphries and Scott Disick, ends with a harsh exchange between Kim and Humphries over their future.
"How am I going to have my career and live in Minnesota?" Kardashian asks her husband, who wants to relocate to his home state.
He replies, "Baby, by the time you have kids and they're in school, no one will probably care about you."
Check out the video below.
Should Kardashian have gotten married knowing this was going to be an issue?

Thanks to a recently leaked internal Telus document, we have been given a look at a few devices that will soon be launching. Some of the devices on this document have already been given the coming soon style listings on the Telus website, however there are a few that have yet to be listed. For example, the Samsung Galaxy Ace Q is shown here. The Galaxy Ace Q is expected to drop on (or around) November 22 with a contract-free price of $250. Otherwise, another handset listed here is the Galaxy S III, well, a new color of the Galaxy S III — red. This one is simply listed as coming soon and we have yet to see anything in terms of a rumored date just yet. That being said, if you were considering the purchase of a Galaxy S III with Telus and would like the red, you may want to sit and wait as it looks like it should be available sooner rather than later.

Selling rugs profitably
At first glance, area rugs seem to be a natural for floor covering specialty stores, but the category is carried by only about one third of all flooring retailers and has been known to be a challenge for many.
But, for those floor covering stores willing to make the commitment, a rug department can be a profit center that draws traffic, adds fashion and makes sales.
With seven locations serving San Diego County, Coles Fine Flooring not only dedicates floor space to rugs in all of its stores, it uses rugs in vignettes throughout the stores, according to Gary Garcia, area rug manager.
Garcia, who also handles all advertising and marketing for Coles, stressed that, "Rugs are absolutely worth having. A good rug department draws traffic. The buying cycle for other kinds of flooring is six to ten years. But for rugs, it's much more often. Once a consumer has a good experience with a rug, they'll be back for more.bCrLf
At Coles, "Enthusiastic sales people, who are willing to put on a different hat to sell art for the floor,' bCrLf are essential for a profitable rug department, Garcia explained. "We work with our sales force to encourage them to learn the language of rugs.bCrLf
Garcia said that the Cole's sales staff is exceptional and experts on everthing in the store. He added, "Rugs are cash and carry. Customers get excited because it's like buying art that will make a room beautiful.bCrLf
With about 3,500 rugs in stock, "Coles is all about a huge selection because the consumer wants a lot of choices before they will feel comfortable with making a buying decision,bCrLf Garcia said. "It's important to know your consumer. In Southern California, flat weaves don't work, but I know they're in demand in other South West regions.bCrLf
Avalon Carpet Tile and Flooring values area rugs enough to have departments in all 14 of its stores in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware. For Dana Adams, area rug product manager for Avalon, the most important factor in selling rugs is "knowing your product selection and being able to show a customer exactly what they are looking for.bCrLf
Because each Avalon store caters to a different demographic, the rugs for each are chosen with its customers in mind, according to Adams. The company's core set of styles includes traditional, transitional, contemporary, nautical/novelty and custom programs.
Avalon averages 360 rugs on racks at each store, ranging in size from 5 x 8 to 9 x 12. "If a customer is interested in a particular piece, we will drop the rug and show it on the floor, so the shopper can see the full visual, coloration and size of the rug,bCrLf she explained.
Roberts Carpet & Fine Floors, with nine stores in the Houston area, has rug galleries in three locations and is moving one of them into an adjoining showroom to launch a new concept, according to Valerie Roberts, co-owner of Roberts. The new store, expected to be open this month, will be called Dazzling Décor/Rugs & Accessories and will feature a full array of rugs as well as glass items, lamps, wall art, pillows and more.
"We got into rugs because I have a passion for rugs,bCrLf said Roberts. "It takes up space and time and you must give it the attention it deserves to be profitable,bCrLf she advised.
Having fresh and up-to-date merchandise is important, said Roberts, who oversees the rug departments. "We listen to our consumers and then, we go to markets to hand pick rugs. It's important to stay up-to-date on color trends and styles. Then it's critical to know your inventory so you are able to find the right rug in the right size for your customer,bCrLf Roberts stated. "We have our customers bring in fabrics and color swatches and talk to them to find out exactly what they need.bCrLf
Selling a rug is not the same as selling other flooring. Roberts said, "It's a different type of sale and in each of our rug departments, there are sales people who are more comfortable with rugs, who will take over with a customer if they are available.bCrLf
Roberts also has a rug specialist, who can help anyone who needs extra guidance. "We put the customer first,bCrLf Roberts stressed. The specialist will be based at Dazzling Décor and is available by appointment at the other locations.
While 500 rugs is a good minimum, Roberts advises the more selection the better. "And in Texas, we like large rugs. We display 10 x 14s on racks and frequently get requests for 12 x 15s and even larger custom sizes.bCrLf
Lighting is critical and at Roberts, the ceilings are exposed and painted white to reflect light. "We try to replicate the kind of lighting you'd find in a home,bCrLf Roberts said. "The electronic racks allow us to bring a rug down so that part of it folds onto the floor allowing the customer to see what it will look like laying flat.bCrLf
Racks best for display
Retailers that
spoke to agree that the best way to display is on swing arm racks. The most popular sizes are 5 x 8, 6 x 9 and 9 x 12. These "go tobCrLf sizes encourage cash and carry sales. It's also important to keep the racks full. Keep an eye on the hottest sellers and review every three or four weeks to reorder.
Special Rug Service
Coles has a 24-hour exchange policy so a customer can take a rug home and try it out. Most will take three home and bring two back. They pay in full for all of them and are credited for the returns.
Avalon offers direct shipping of rugs to the customer's home or the option to have it brought out and laid out as well as easy returns direct to the stores.
In addition to a check out and return policy, Roberts has staff to deliver the larger rugs to homes and lay them for the customer.

A 12-round break in friendship
Diaz takes on Soto in co-main; Gomez raps to Castillo in co-feature bout
Story & photos by Chris Cozzone
Promising to steal the show Saturday night at the Dallas Cowboys' Stadium, while putting aside a friendship for a dozen or less rounds, current WBC super featheweight champ Humberto Soto (50-7-2, 32 KOs), of Los Mochis, Mexico, and former champ David Diaz (35-2-1, 17 KOs), of Chicago, will battle for the vacant WBC lightweight belt.
It's a familiar belt for Diaz.
"I want it back," Diaz said today at a press conference held at the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine, Texas.
In 2008, Diaz lost his belt – to none other than Manny Pacquiao, who vacated it to move further up in weight.
In fact, Top Rank boss Bob Arum said today that if could attribute attributed Pacquiao's super stardom to any one person, it would be Diaz.
"If Diaz hadn't given Manny the opportunity to fight for the lightweight belt, there wouldn't have been a fight with De La Hoya, Hatton, Cotto or Clottey."
"Nothing like being known for a loss," Diaz laughed it off. "But I guess Pacquiao has done 'okay' since taking my belt.
"But now I want it back."
Diaz will face Soto, who will be one of the few Mexicans to become a three-division champ, should he win.
"Soto is a great champ, and he's also a great friend. But we've decided to mix it up in a fun fight that just might steal the show. Our techniques were made for each other."
"Business is business," agreed Soto. "We are good friends but we all have to sacrifice.
Gomez faces Castillo
In a ten-rounder for the WBC Continental Americas welterweight title, Alfonso Gomez (21-4-2, 10 KOs), of Guadalajara, Mexico, fresh off a win over highly-rated Jesus Soto-Karass, will take on former champ Jose Luis Castillo (60-9-1, 52 KOs), of Mexicali, Calif.
Gomez-Castillo may or may not steal the undercard Saturday night, but at today's presser, the former "Contender" star stole the show by performing a rap song detailing his soon-to-be win over Castillo.
Castillo shrugged it off, laughing, then one-upped Gomez by challenging him to place a $20 thousand bet on their fight.
"I'm back," he told the press. "Look out welterweights and super lightweights."
Opening up the PPV-telecast, middleweight John Duddy (28-1, 18 KOs), of Derry, Ireland, takes on Michael Medina (22-1-2, 17 KOs), of Monterrey, Mexico, in a ten-rounder.
Arum told the press that should Duddy defeat Medina, a showdown with Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. awaits.
On the untelevised undercard:
Former champ Mauricio Pastrana (35-12-2, 24 KOs), of Columbia, will go eight rounds at bantam with Eden Sonsona (18-5, 5 KOs), of General Santos, Philippines.
In an eight-round feather bout, San Antone's Joe Morales (20-13, 4 KOs) will take on Filipino Michael Farenas (26-2-3, 23 KOs.)
At featherweight, Salvador Sanchez (18-3-2, 8 KOs), nephew to the former great of the same name, goes eight with Jaime Villa (8-7-2, 3 KOs), of Midland, Texas.
At super bantam, Dallas' prospect Roberto Marroquin (12-0, 9 KOs) will fight a sixer against Samuel Sanchez (4-1-1), also from Dallas.
In a four-round super welter bout, Rodrigo Garcia (5-0, 4 KOs), of Santa Ana, Calif., takes on Calvin Pitts (5-11-1, 1 KO), of Prairie View, Texas.
In a six- or four-round swing bout, at featherweight, Arthur Trevino (5-3-2, 2 KOs), of Ft. Worth, Texas, takes on Tucson's Isaac Hidalgo (6-5-1, 1 KO).

Earlier this month a man was killed at a construction site New Jersey when a 1-pound tape measure fell 50 stories and struck him in the head. This tragedy is a stark reminder that falling object injuries can and do occur. It could also be considered a call for an industry-wide effort to prevent these incidents in the future.
Falling Object Statistics
- A solid object dropped from 64 feet will hit the ground in 2 seconds at a speed of 43.8 miles per hour.
- The same object dropped at 106 feet will hit the ground in 3 seconds at a speed of 65.8 miles per hour.
- A 2-ounce pen dropped from 230 feet has the potential to penetrate a hardhat.

Chemistry World reported on Friday that a group of European researchers have made a giant step toward inventing a process that will create jet fuel from sunlight, water and carbon dioxide. If and when the process can be brought to an industrial scale it could make greenhouse gasses, considered a dire problem by some, into a valuable resource. It might even make jet plane travel carbon neutral.
The idea is that at high temperatures, water and carbon dioxide break apart into hydrogen, carbon monoxide and oxygen. Then hydrogen and carbon monoxide combines to become syngas. Then using the well-known Fischer-Tropsch process can be converted into kerosene or gasoline.
The trick has always been to remove the excess oxygen, which tends to make the syngas more explosive and therefore dangerous. The European researchers have hit upon the idea of using cerium oxide. When heated with concentrated sunlight the cerium oxide released oxygen which is piped out. When the syngas is created, the cerium reacts with carbon dioxide and water to produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide, absorbing the excess oxygen. Then the cerium oxide is blasted again with sunlight repeating the cycle.
Thus far the researchers have only succeeded in created a glassful of kerosene at an efficiency of 1.73 percent. For the process to be economically viable, it will have to achieve an efficiency of 15 percent. The researchers are confident that this can be done with improvements in materials, reactor geometry, heat management, gas management and reactor size. The next step is to try out the process with a 50 kilowatt reactor which will allow for extensive chemical analysis and tests.
The European project is not the only one delving into the idea of making jet fuel from water and carbon dioxide. The United States Navy is researching for ways to make jet fuel on every ship that carries aircraft from sea water and co2. This would greatly extend the reach of American military power by removing one essential product from the logistical chain.

Full Platter:
Funny man Chris Rock is always looking to make people laugh with his outrageous jokes, and what better place to spread some patriotic humor than on Twitter? He's been getting a lot of heat lately for his recent July 4 tweet, in which he wrote: "Happy white peoples independence day the slaves weren't free but I'm sure they enjoyed fireworks."
Any sentence that has the terms "white peoples" and "slaves" has is sure to spark conversation.
According to reports, Don Cheadle replied with a "Haha," followed by, "Where exactly is the bigotry in that joke? Who is the victim? 18th century whites?" However, not every one was as amused. People even went on to threaten to boycott Chris' films. The managing editor of the conservative blog America's Right tweeted, "Slavery existed for 2000yrs before America. We eradicated it in 100yrs. We now have a black POTUS. #Go (expletive) Yourself" Ouuuufff... I don't know about you guys but these are definitely fighting words all around.
What do you all think? Was Chris' tweet innocent and funny, truthful or not? Let us know. Read the full story here and drop your comments below!

After a few months away from the racetrack, 20-year old NHRA A/Fuel dragster driver Ashley Sanford is more than ready to strap into her Gelish Nail Polish racecar at the O'Reilly Auto Parts NHRA Northwest Nationals, August 1-3. Refreshed with a new engine program and motivation from promising performance at their last race, the Fullerton, CA native Sanford and team head back into a consecutive stretch of racing.
In her last race, the SummitRacing.com Nationals at Las Vegas in March, Sanford posted a 5.38 at 270 mph run, a career-best speed at the time, in the opening qualifying session. She followed that pass with a 5.309/268, enough to place the Gelish dragster second in the qualifying order, before losing in the first round. During subsequent testing, she topped her career best speed, at 272mph.
With some great momentum built in Vegas, she's been anxious to get back to racing.
"Keeping up with the results is pretty much the closest we've been to racing since Vegas," Sanford said. "Ever since that race I was hoping the time between races would fly by and fortunately it did. What's great is now we're going to be busy. We have at least one race per month until the Finals in November."
The Northwest Nationals will also be the debut for a new Ashley Sanford Racing sponsor in Morgan Taylor Nail Lacquer, joining prominent supporters Gelish Soak-Off Gel Polish, Lucas Oil, and America's Best Value Inns on the pink and white nitro-injected A/Fuel Dragster.
"We have our Morgan Taylor Nail Lacquer on board now. They're a sister company to Gelish and we're very excited to have them on the side of the car. For me it's an honor to represent a girls' brand and a growing brand, like my team is; we're growing, too. It's two young girls who run the company so we can relate. It's a privilege to race for such great sponsors," Ashley noted.
Ashley Sanford and team hits the track at 2:15 and 5 PM PT today, and 11:30 on Saturday for qualifying. Eliminations begin at 2:15 PM on Saturday and resume on Sunday morning.

I was at my therapist appointment the other day. I call her "M'lady" when referring to her, because the words "therapy" and "therapist" annoy the crap out of me. I was chatting to "M'lady" about the moment I heard a 'POP' sound in my head, and I became an eating disorder victim in the span of a second.
Of course there were many thousands of moments and experiences which had let up to this 'POP,' but I remember this one day so vividly. I was standing in the middle of a road in Ireland, where I was an exchange student, and I was in the middle of eating a Mars bar. Half way through my bar, I thought, "This is a very very bad thing for me to have. And yet I want a thousand more." From that day on, not an hour has gone by without a wheel of thought spinning in my mind, "Should I? Shouldn't I? Should I? Shouldn't I? Should I?"
After musing and digging around in my childhood with many different "M'lady's," I had come to the conclusion that because I was left to rot in the mountain desert with my nasty grandparents, I was looking to "stuff" myself into safety. Food doesn't really have bags to pack in the middle of the night.
But then: I was recently reading some dumb "Strawberry Shortcake Sleepover" book to my daughter, and Blueberry Fritter tells her friends that she is afraid to join them because she might become so lonely for home that she can't stand it. And worst of all… what if she wakes up in the middle of the night?
I remember my first night in Ireland. I was 15 years old and had just taken a godawful plane trip which included 3 changes, one hotel stay, and one eight hour stint between 2 smokers. You could smoke on planes and the U2 members were 20-something years old. I finally arrived at the host family's house and was struck by terror; a homesickness so fierce that I thought I would implode with pain. This was before email, or Smart phones, and a call home would cost money. Moreover, it is my suspicion that they were hosting me for money, because they certainly did not seem pleased to have me there. It was one of the most painful feelings I have experienced, and I only just remembered it the other day with M'lady. It makes all the other abandonments seem like my mother had just taken a trip to the store without me.
I don't know if this knowledge will help me heal, or if the reason I am addicted to food is just because I am addicted to food, but it seems significant.
M'lady then told me about her own father, who was left in a London orphanage when he was 5 years old with his younger brother. His mother had died and his father had gone to America. A year and a half later the child's father returned to bring him to his new home, with his new mother – a crippled, angry woman – whose role was to be a caretaker to the children. The boy was forbidden to speak about his real mother and yearned every day for her.
When he grew up, he became a merchant sailor, and travelled to London and back to America, to America and back to London, over and over again searching for his mother's grave. His father had refused to tell him what her maiden name was. The boy found the grave when he was 63 years old.
Abandonment is not to be minimized.

Inspire to be 1 with the word.

The Book of Genesis
[1:29] God said, "See, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food.
[1:30] And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food." And it was so.
I added verse [1:30] in for a reason. Read it again, and say. Aha with me.
We were all supposed to be vegetarian. That aha hit me like a rock upside my head. We were all supposed to be vegetarians. Now, how about that! We were all supposed to be vegetarians.
Genesis 9:3
Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.
Now notice God says "just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything". This is proof that before this point, people were only eating fruits and vegetables.
Romans 14:21
It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause any man to stumble.
So only animals that have cloven hooves and chew the cud are acceptable for food. Acceptable animals would include sheep, goats, cattle, elk and buffalo. Unacceptable animals would include pigs, horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, bears, horses, squirrels, rodents, and camels.
The next group of creatures that are mentioned in Leviticus 11 is water creatures. Let�s look at the verses which address these creatures:
(Lev 11:9-12 NKJV) 'These you may eat of all that are in the water: whatever in the water has fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the rivers; that you may eat. {10} 'But all in the seas or in the rivers that do not have fins and scales, all that move in the water or any living thing which is in the water, they are an abomination to you. {11} 'They shall be an abomination to you; you shall not eat their flesh, but you shall regard their carcasses as an abomination. {12} 'Whatever in the water does not have fins or scales; that shall be an abomination to you.
You know what that means. Cat fish is out, Shrimp, Squid, muscles, lobster is out �anything that does not have fins or scales; are out. You can�t have those items, those items are unclean. Why? Because they eat off the bottom �I think about the serpent Aka the snake. He will eat dust for the rest of his life, and crawl around on his belly.
Those things live on the bottom. Fish with fins eats vegetation and worms. And when you�re fishing fish our going to be close to the top �and my husband never brings home the fish he catches when he goes fishing, because he catches more fish with a can of chuck wagon dog food than he does worms or live bait.
So, I started to think about the Genesis & Leviticus.
I also started to think about my eating habits.
1.I didn�t read where there was a Pizza Hut or frozen pizza in the bible, and I had frozen Pizza with my hubby today. His choice and I ate that with him. I don�t feel guilty what so ever. Let me clear that one up.
2.I noticed the bloating of my system hours later of eating that darn Pizza. I felt wonderful yesterday, and I didn�t feel off until I had that mega pickle from the jar of pickles I have in my fridge, but I did know this much. That pickle only sat things in motion with the other crap that was in my stomach.
3.We are what we eat. We are what we eat. We are what we eat. Once again. WE are WHAT we EAT!
My mother game me this painting on my 31st b-day. To remind me. We are what we eat. We are what we eat, and that's the truth.

love this vlog lynn! even before i started this journey with spark i've always felt this way about food. i've watched so many documentaries about food and how it's processed and that alone will change your thinking for sure. i've made lots of "CLEAN" changes in my home (including chemical) and i'm glad you've shared this with others too.
i'm sad though b/c i just found out that tilapia is also a "bottom feeder"...which is my fav. do you happen to know which fish are ok to eat according to the word?
hope you have a great week and again..thanks for the vlog!

And please don't let anyone else get it twisted, although God allowed man to have meat, it was due to the flood, when all was wiped out, but that did not negate Gensis 1:29-30. We must always, always undertand that. You got it right!!
Thank you for commenting on my vlog and I appreciate you. I am committed to getting this thing right for radiant Health. It is Melia!! She has blessed me.

Another day, another tale of how the "Too Big to Jail" Wall Street cartel manipulates a major global market with no repercussions whatsoever. Must be nice having essentially every Congressperson and regulator in your back pocket. Get caught? Pay a little fine and get on with it. Everyone wins!
Actually, everyone loses. Except for the handful of FX manipulators, rigging global currency markets from their Essex villages outside of London. These traders for major TBTF banks refer to themselves by various names in their now silenced Bloomberg chat rooms, from The Cartel," "The Bandits' Club," "One Team, One Dream" and "The Mafia." Very classy guys. Glad we bailed your asses out…
More from Bloomberg:
Now regulators from Bern to Washington are examining evidence first reported by Bloomberg News in June that a small group of senior traders at big banks had something else on their screens: details of each other's client orders. Sharing that information may have helped dealers at firms, including JPMorgan Chase & Co., Citigroup Inc., UBS AG and Barclays Plc, manipulate prices to maximize their own profits, according to five people with knowledge of the probes.
"This is a market where there is no law and people have turned a blind eye," said former Senator Ted Kaufman, a Delaware Democrat who sponsored legislation in 2010 to shrink the largest U.S. banks. "We've been talking about banks being too big to fail. What's almost as big a problem is banks too big to manage."
At the center of the inquiries are instant-message groups with names such as "The Cartel," "The Bandits' Club," "One Team, One Dream" and "The Mafia," in which dealers exchanged information on client orders and agreed how to trade at the fix, according to the people with knowledge of the investigations who asked not to be identified because the matter is pending. Some traders took part in multiple chat rooms, one of them said.
The currency investigations are taking place as authorities grapple with a widening list of scandals involving the manipulation by banks of benchmark financial rates, including the London interbank offered rate, or Libor, and ISDAfix, used to determine the value of interest-rate derivatives. The U.K. regulator also is reviewing how prices are set in the $20 trillion gold market, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.
Don't be ridiculous, everyone knows the gold market is the only market on earth that isn't manipulated.
"Some of these problems developed over many years without anybody speaking up," said Andrew Tyrie, chairman of Britain's Commission on Banking Standards and Parliament's Treasury Select Committee. "This is remarkable. It suggests something very wrong with the culture at these institutions."

Her Attorney***** filed suit against me in December 2007 five months after his client (Bojko) was arrested and convicted for reckless driving (8/2007) In fact from the onset of the lawsuit his client was on probation.
During the course of the lawsuit against me his client (Bojko) was arrested and convicted of a DUI (9/2008) and was put on probation again. (10/2008) Stone defended Bojko for this arrest.
To re cap: Stone's client (Bojko) was on probation for two different offenses during the lawsuit he filed against me (12/2007 - 5/2009) I would like to point out that **** Bojko's arrests and convictions would have given the courts reasons to consider her to be dangerous. If **** Authorities had done the background check that I repeatedly requested they do, which prompted the libel lawsuit, and given me the results I would have had the evidence to provide to the courts for consideration.
The fact that Stone not only withheld this information but actually represented *** Bojko in a manner that presented her as not only a wronged individual but a "clean backgrounded" great teacher whose reputation was tainted by me and her relationship with her employer (the school) suffered because of me all the while hiding her background prompts me to question the validity of the Courts final decision
