To Mrs. DOGOOD
Madam, My Design in troubling you with this Letter is, to de'fire you would begin with your own Sex first: Let the 'first Volley of your Resentments be directed against Female Vice; let Female Idleness, Ignorance and Folly, (which 'are Vices more peculiar to your Sex than to our's, ) be the Subject of your Satyrs, but more especially Female 'Pride, which I think is intollerable. Here is a large Field 'that wants Cultivation, and which I believe you are able '(if willing) to improve with Advantage; and when you have once reformed the Women, you will find it a much 'easier Tasker to reform the Men, because Women are the 'prime Causes of a great many Male Enormities. This 'is all at present from
After Thanks to My Correspondent for his kindness in cutting out Work for me, I must assure him, that I find it a very different Matter to reprove Women separate from The Men: for what Vice is there in which the Men have they not a far greater, as a in Drunkenness, Swearing, &c. And if they have, then it follows, that when a Vice is to be reproved, Men who are most cupable, deserve the most Reprehension, and certainly therefore, ought to have it. But we will wave this Point at present, and proceed to a particular Confideration of what my Correspondent calls
Female Vice.
And now for the Ignorance and Folly which he reproaches us with, let us see ( if we are Fools and Ignoramus's Writer, having this subject in Hand, has the following Words, wherein he lays the Fault wholly on the Men, for not allowing Women the Advantages of Education.
I have (says he) often Thought of it as one of the most barbarous Customs in the World, considering us as a civiliz'd and Christian Country, that we deny the Advantages of Learning to Women. We reproach the Sex every Day with Folly and Impertinence, while I am confident, had they the Advantages of Education equal to us, they would be guilty of less than our selves. One would wonder indeed how it should happen that Women are conversible at all, since they are only beholding to natural Parts
for all their Knowledge. Their Youth is spent to teach them to stitch and sow, or make Baubles: They are taught to read indeed, and perhaps to write their Names, or so and that is the Heigth of a Womans Education. And I would but ask any who 1light the Sex for their Understanding, What is a Man (a Gentleman, I mean) good for that is taught no more? If knowledge and Understanding had been useless Additions to the Sex God Almighty would never have given them Capacities, for he made nothing Needless. What has the Woman done top forfeit the Priledge of being taught? Does she plague us with her Pride and Impertinence? Why did we not let her learn, that she might have had more Wit? Shall we upbraid Women with Folly, when 'tis only the Error of this inhumane Custom that hindred them being made wiser.
So much for Female Ignorance and Folly, and now let us a little consider the Pride which my Correspondent thinks is intollerable. By this Expression of his, one would think he is some dejected Swain, Tyanniz'd over by some cruel haughty Nymph, who (perhaps he thinks) has no more Reason to be proud than himself. Alas-a-day! What shall we say in this Cafe! Why truly, if Women are proud, it is certainly owing to the Men still; for if they will be such Simpletons as to humble themselves at their Feet, and fill their credulous Ears with extravagant Praises of their Wilt, Beauty, and other Accomplishments (perhaps where there are none too,) and when Women by this Means perswaded that they are Something more than humane, What Wonder is it, if they carry themselves haughtily, and live extravagantly. Notwithstanding, I believe there are more Instances of extravagent Pride to be found among Men than among Women, and this Fault is certainly more halnous in the former than in the latter.
Upon the whole, I conclude, that it will be impossible to last any Vice, of which the Men are not equally guilty with the Women, and consequently deserve an equal if not a greater ) Share in the Censure. However I exhort both to amend, where both are culpable, otherwise they may expect to be severly handled by Sir,
Your Humble Servant.

To the Author of the New-England Courant
And Verse's Whoever resisteth the Power, resisteth his Ordinance.
CIVIL GOVERNMENT, (when the Administrations of it are regulated by the Divine Standard) is the Stength, Glory, and Safety of Nations and Common-Wealths; 'tis the strongest Bulwark against the Efforts of Tyranny, a sure Defence of the Liberties of Mankind when invaded by un-reasonable Men. The great Design of God in the Institution of Government among Men, was, (next to his own Glory,) the Weal and Happiness of those who are governed: Which End is Then only likely to be attained, when those who are vested with Power and Authority make the Welcare of their People, their last View in. all their Administrations. The Power of civil Rulers is derivative and limited, and therefore they must not arrogate to Themselves an absolute uncontroulable Empire, which appertains to God alone, being essentially and independently in him. An absolute Government is what no Mortal is equal to, or fit to be intrusted with. He who is the supream Governour among the Nations, was ever an Enemy to unlimited Power among Men; and therefore he preserv'd the most just and equal Rules for them to Square their Administrations by. When Men in high Place assume a Dispotick Power, and begin to tyrannize over their Brethren, they rebel against Heaven, usurp the Thone of the most High, and prostitute Government to the Service of their own Lusts. The Power of civil Rulers is but a Ministry under God, derived from him, and designed by him for the good of Men: And therefore it cannot be suppos'd that Government was ordain'd, that a few Men should become Beasts of Piety and Rapine to Mankind, and have Opportunity to gratify their travenoos Lusts of Dominion, please Pride and Avarice, that the rest of Mortals should crouch like Asses, under
what Burthens they please to impose upon them. The Dominion to be exercise'd Over Men, is a Rule suited to the Nature of free, rational Beings, and to the Ends of civil Society. Those Rulers who affect an arbitrary Sway, are justly to be esteem'd Enemies to Society, the Plague and Punishment of Mankind. Prov. 28.25. As a roaring Lion, and a ranging Bear, So is a wicked Ruler over the Poor People.
CIVIL RULERS are in Scripture, stiled GODS, inasmuch as they bear GODS's Image, are cloathed with his Authority, and ACT by his Commission: and as Gods they should improve their Power for the good of Men. Princes and Judges of the Earth, are Gods by Office, and they act like such, when Justice and Truth are the stready Basis of their Thrones, i.e. when! they Distribute Justice with Wisdom, Impartiality and Truth; when they Endeavour to Imitate the Divine Rule, and make it the Law and Measure of their own. But when they Act Contrary hereto, there belongs another Name to them, too Horrible to be mention'd They resemble the God of this World, and contribute to the support of his usurp'd Dominion, and Consequently Expose themselves to Divine resentments, and the heavy Curses of their People
CIVIL RULERS are the Pillars of the World, and must bare the Political Frame, above Disorder, Anarchy and Dissolution. They are Shields of the Earth, and ( as Guardians) must defend the Liberties and Property of their People; there they must not invade themselves, nor tamely see it done by others.
THEY who Exercise Lordship over others, should approve themselves Benefactors to them: this they should do, by Enacting Good wholesome Laws, and by repealing those which by Experience have been found pernicious, by easing every Burthen, and breaking the jaws of Oppressors.
THEY are the Fathers of their People, and as such Should be most sentibly touch'd with the feeling, of their Calamities, and endeavour by all Possible means to redress them. They should be projecting Methods Themselves, (and encouraging others to do the like,) that may contribute to the Ease, Prosperity and Happiness of Their People; and by a steady Course of real Endeavours, strive to be useful in Government. Yea, they should signalize themselves in every Critical Juncture, tho' at the Expence of Ease and Fortune, and with the Hazard of Life itself. And when Rulers thus Exert themselves for the Good of Mankind; they are certainly the greatest Blessings to the World, they consult their own best Interest, and tread in the Path which leads to substantial Glory. But it is as true on the other Hand, that wicked Rulers are the greatest Plague and Scourge to Mankind, as will appear, if we but look into those Countries and Commonwealths where Violence, Oppression, Injustice and Bribery regn'd among their Chiefs, and see what amazing Woes have attended.
CERTAINLY then, it highly concerns every free People, to see to it in all their Elections, that they fix their Eyes on them who are fit to Rule and govern, and that they carefully avoid them who are not. And lurely they should beware how they advance any to Place of Power, who would be Tyrants if they could. Men who were known to be Tyrants, in Will, and Intention, (tho' they never acted their villanous Purposes,) were by a wife Commwealth wont to be outlaw'd, and treated as their Savage Nature required. Prov. 30. 14 There is a Generation whose Teeth are as Swords, and their Jaw-Teeth as Knives, to devour the Poor, &c. So. likewise, those Men are to be avoided, who have discovered their Enmity to the People Words, Writing, or promoting bad Laws. And as for Men of forbid, covetous Principles, against them should Places of Power be as carefully guarded as against the former; for, what Privilege is there, the most valuable in it self, and dear to the People, which a covetous Man will not sacrifice to his Lust? Moreover, such are most likely to open their hands for Gifts, which Solomon says, blinds the Eyes if the Wise, and overthrows the Land. This is agreeable to the Sentiments of Heathenism, as well as Christianity; and it was truly said by Dion the Philosopher, that Avarice is the Head of all Wickedness; and, faith Euripidas, An Ambitious and Covetous Judge, can neigher think or defire any Thing. But, to be brief, those only are fit for Gods among Men, who are Persons of singular abilities, approv'd Integrity, and generous Principles, with whom the publick Good is ever preferable to their own; who lay aside mercenary Views, and Act principally for the Reward of Vertue.

The New Orleans Saints encourage a competitive environment, but defensive end Bobby McCray wants it known he doesn't consider his job to be wide open to competition this summer.
"I'm approaching it just how I left it last year, " McCray said with a light laugh. "I am the starter, and I'm going to be the starter -- so there's no different approach I can take. I'm just going out and working hard every day."
McCray, who is running opposite Will Smith, made it clear he has no problem with the Saints signing free agent defensive linemen Alex Brown, formerly of the Chicago Bears, and Jimmy Wilkerson, formerly with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Wilkerson, whose recovering from knee surgery, can't take part in the Saints' minicamp that opened Friday with the team's first mandatory practice since Super Bowl XLIV. But Brown is on the field, and he's expected to push for the same kind of playing time he had as a starter in Chicago.
"I love it. It was a great improvement, " McCray said about the additions to the defensive line depth. "The rotation should be good this year. It will help us, we'll need it, it will be called upon -- and I think we took a step forward from where we were last year, and the sky's the limit to what the D-line can do this year."
McCray said he has set clear personal goals.
"Actually, just be able to help the team win, like I did last year, " he said. "Another goal is to have better stats, and another is to try to be healthy the whole season."
Brown indicated he views the situation differently. He said the awkward part isn't that two players are vying for the starting job, it's that both are Florida Gators.
"Yeah, man, that's tough. But Bobby and me, I think he understands it, " Brown said. "So we're going to go out and play as hard as we can against everybody, and, hey, the best two will get to start. But we have so many packages that you might have two starters, but then he's not in that package. Starting is really just the first play, honestly, so it doesn't mean a whole lot. What we're trying to do is a whole lot bigger than who starts and who does not start."
As evidence of that, Brown cited the organization's daily approach.
"Practice here is a little bit more up-tempo, a little more., I don't want to say, 'physical, ' but I think it's a little more, you know, you get close to the offense, " Brown said. "Hey, it's very competitive, and that's a good thing."
Injury update: Tackle Jon Stinchcomb, recovering from sports hernia surgery, participated fully.
Wide receiver Devery Henderson, who had the same procedure a few days after Stinchcomb, did some drills but didn't go full speed.
Wide receiver Robert Meachem remains hobbled by offseason toe surgery and said he is not sure when he will be back to 100 percent. The latest physical ailment is particularly frustrating, Meachem said, given his rookie season also was limited by a knee procedure -- and he was looking to build on his breakout 2009 campaign this season.
Offensive tackle Charles Brown from Southern California, the Saints' second-round pick, also is less than 100 percent. He pulled a hamstring at the Trojans' Pro Day, which Payton suggested was the reason Brown was limited in his reps Friday when he ran with the third team.
"We have him at limited, which means he's going to get snaps, " Payton said.

Researchers at Tel Aviv University have developed a drug known as BL-7050. It offers new hope to patients with neuropathic pain. The medication inhibits the transmission of pain signals throughout the body. In both in-vitro and in-vivo experiments measuring electrical activity of neurons, the compound has been shown to prevent the hyper-excitability of neurons – protecting not only against neuropathic pain, but epileptic seizures as well.
Millions of people suffer from acute or chronic pain every year, and it costs society at least $560 – $635 billion annually. The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs reports that in a 2011 public telephone survey over 27 percent of Michigan residents have sought treatment from a healthcare professional for a chronic pain condition in the past year. Perhaps there is hope.
Professor Bernard Attali, one of the developers of the medication, believes that BL-7050 could bring relief to hundreds of millions of patients around the world who suffer from neuropathic pain. The medication will reach the first phase of clinical trials in the near future.
According to the American Academy of Pain Medicine, chronic pain is different than acute pain. Acute pain is a normal sensation triggered in the nervous system to alert you to possible injury and the need to take care of yourself. Chronic pain persists. Pain signals keep firing in the nervous systems for weeks, months, and even years. And neuropathic pain, caused by nerve or tissue damage, is the culprit behind many cases of chronic pain.

The Federal Reserve kept its target for a key short-term interest rate near zero percent and reiterated that it will do whatever it takes to promote economic recovery and keep prices stable. The central bank said the economy continues to get worse, but not as quickly as before.
As everyone expected, the Federal Open Market Committee kept its target for the federal funds rate between zero percent and 0.25 percent. Banks make overnight loans to one another at the federal funds rate, which has been near zero percent since mid-December. The Fed has said it plans to hold the overnight rate near zero for "an extended period" in an effort to stimulate the economy.
This rate policy statement was subtly more optimistic than the last one, on April 29. In today's statement, the Fed said outright that "the pace of economic contraction is slowing." On April 29, the Fed had said that "the economy has continued to contract, though the pace of contraction appears to be somewhat slower."
Attitude adjustment
The difference between the two statements reflects a minor change in attitude, not a change in direction.
Long-term interest rates and bond yields have risen recently. Some observers speculate that rates went up because investors were concerned about a renewal of inflation over the medium and long term. Those investors might be dissatisfied that the Fed said it "expects that inflation will remain subdued for some time." The Fed reiterated what it said after the last meeting, that it forecasts "a gradual resumption of sustainable economic growth in a context of price stability."
Normally, the Fed sets a target for overnight rates and lets the market determine long-term interest rates, such as for mortgages. That has changed. Since March, the central bank has spent hundreds of billions of dollars to push down mortgage rates and long-term Treasury yields. Holding down long-term rates and encouraging homeowners to free up some spending money by refinancing their mortgages were seen as economy-boosters.
But 10-year Treasury yields and 30-year mortgage rates have been rising in the past three weeks or so, putting an end to a mortgage refinancing boomlet. Investors wondered whether the Fed would address those rising rates in this policy statement, maybe by announcing even more purchases of mortgage-backed securities and Treasury debt.
Holds to buy-backs, too
Such an announcement did not materialize. The Fed merely summarized its commitment to buy up to $1.25 trillion in mortgage-backed securities by year's end and up to $300 billion in Treasuries by autumn.
That didn't surprise Richard DeKaser, an economist and president of Washington, D.C.-based Woodley Park Research. He said before the announcement that "there's enough capacity left in the existing program to carry them at least one or probably two FOMC meetings, so in the event that they decide they want to expand those programs, they can do so when they have more information."
The next two meetings are scheduled for Aug. 11-12 and Sept. 22-23. If the Fed steps up its purchases of mortgages or Treasuries, it doesn't have to do so in a rate policy statement; it has the flexibility to make that announcement at any time.
Alan Rosenbaum, president of Guardhill Financial, a New York-based mortgage lender, had hoped the Fed would decide to step up its purchases of mortgage-backed securities, which would have the effect of causing rates to go down again and luring refinancers back into mortgage offices. It didn't happen.
"I don't think it will hurt the market if they do not say they will be buying more than they announced previously," he said. But, he implied, it might have helped.

Love It!Initially, I only used this because I was at my friends house and it was all she had. I was skeptical because its so cheap. I have very curly frizzy dry hair which I straighten. My friend has hair that is a little wavy, and we both love it. This works great at smoothing the frizzies and it also adds tons of shine. It has never made my hair feel greasy. A little goes a long way, so dont overuse. I will definitely keep buying this and would reccomend this to anyone.Oct 20, 2005Katy / Virginia Beach

PRESS RELEASE: Direct from West End North LLC
July 30, 2012 (Greenville, South Carolina). West End North LLC today announced the planned renovation and development of 508 Rhett Street in the West End of downtown Greenville. The 17,000 square foot building will be renovated as office and retail space and will also include a single executive apartment.
The building contains architecture and materials dating to the early 1900′s industrial era of the city. Heavy timbers, heart-pine floors, sliding railway loading doors and large-paned windows are intact through much of the building.
Chuck Watson, co-owner of West End North LLC said, "We came across this great building and decided we needed to make sure it was saved. Despite heavy industrial use for almost 100 years, it's in relatively great shape and will compliment the many other projects underway along Rhett Street and in the West End.
The building was constructed in its present form in 1923, reusing a heavy timber foundation dating prior to 1888. The original wooden structure burned around 1921 with the foundation surviving intact. Interestingly, the building, no longer perpendicular to Rhett Street, shows the original path of Rhett before it was realigned between 1898 and 1908.
Renovation work is expected to begin this fall with occupancy by very early 2013. Interested parties may visit www.508Rhett.com or contact Charles Watson of West End North for more information.

Carlos Boozer sat out Friday afternoon's practice with a sore right knee and will be a game-time decision for Friday's home game vs. the Atlanta Hawks.
Taj Gibson participated in most of practice but was also rested after falling on his right arm after taking a flagrant foul from Boston's Jared Sullinger in Thursday night's Bulls win. He is expected to play on Saturday along with Deng, who is still on a minutes limit since returning to the lineup a game ago after missing the previous five with a lingering sore left Achilles.
Boozer is one of only three Bulls to play all 31 games this season. He has been the team's most durable player in the past three seasons, only missing three games last season and playing in all 66 games during the lockout shortened 2011-12 season.
He missed the first 15 games of his debut season with the team during the 2010-11 season because of a broken hand. and a total of 23 games in all during that campaign. In total he has played in 235 of 261 games during his Bulls tenure.
Boozer is averaging 14.7 points and 8.6 rebounds this season.

I am delighted to share my recipe for Amazing Gluten Free Waffles with you. In fact, I am going to whip up a batch for my family this weekend. I use an Oster DuraCeramic Waffle Maker. My waffle maker has a non-stick ceramic coating so I don't need spray or oil to coat waffle maker. I would advise that before you proceed with cooking to please refer to your waffle makers instructions on how to operate. Many waffle irons require you to use a non stick spray on surface before cooking each serving/waffle so check with the directions on your type of waffle iron. How many servings the recipe makes also depends on your type of waffle iron. My machine creates the big round belgian-style look. But I truly enjoy the regular size square ones too! Homemade waffles are great to enjoy on the weekend when for most of us there is plenty of time to make them. My two little boys get so anxious and excited to see those waffles come out when they are done and the smell that fills the kitchen when making this recipe is amazing! I like to serve them hot and fresh with a good quality syrup or if I feel like making a special treat, I will top them with a dab of cool whip and fresh berries on top and then drizzle the syrup over all of that..yum! (Do not top with cream or berries until ready to serve otherwise they may get a little soggy).
Gluten Free Waffle Ingredients:
2 cups of gluten-free "Bisquick Mix"
1/2 cup gluten free Cornstarch (yes, cornstarch is naturally gluten free, however, there is the risk of cross contamination so if your very sensitive to gluten, I suggest you find a box that reads "gluten free")
1 Tsp or 1 plus 1/2 tsp Salt (*Optional-feel free to use less as Bisquick mix already has salt in it)
2 Tbl Baking Powder (If not using Bisquick)
2 Tbl sugar
3 Eggs (beaten)
1 1/4 cup Milk
1/2 Teaspoon of vanilla
3 Tbl Coconut oil
Non stick spray (optional, check your waffle maker instructions)
First, Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Then, in a separate bowl mix the liquid ingredients (Milk, Eggs, Vanilla, Oil). If coconut oil is in a solid rather than liquid state, slightly melt the oil but don't make it hot, just warm enough to melt, then mix it with rest of liquid ingredients. It most likely will turn to solid if mixed with cold milk so to prevent that if you wish , slightly warm your milk, again not hot just warm so the eggs don't cook from the heat before being mixed with the dry ingredients. Last step, is to combine wet ingredients with dry ingredients. Stir or mix well.
Important: The mix for this recipe will be much thicker than the usual recipe for waffles using regular flour. Anyone who cooks gluten free knows there is a difference in texture with regular flour vs. gluten free. To overcome this, I created this recipe through many, many trial and errors until I found the perfect combination. It should resemble a really thick muffin-like batter (If you've got that in your bowl, you didn't make a mistake!). One more thing, the finished batter will not pour effectively so you will have to scoop and spread on waffle maker with flat rubber spatula or back of spoon, but the end result is delicious! The batter should be smooth, sticky, muffin batter like consistency. If not smooth enough to mix, add a little water 1/4 cup at a time. Proceed to cook waffles according to your own waffle maker instructions. You may need to use a non stick spray, depending on the type of waffle iron you use. If you enjoyed this recipe (or not), please tell! Leave a comment and let me and other readers know how yours turned out and any creative ideas you may want to share with me and others..and don't forget to subscribe for more gluten free recipes on my site to follow, enjoy! I may upload a video to make this recipe even easier soon!

Multi-CDN Federation
Improve your brand perception in China, Russia & Brazil, with faster page-load times and 100% availability, through multi-CDN load balancing.Read the Gamesys case study.
Download the Multi-CDN Strategy Whitepaper
Companies around the world are focusing on the growing wealth and population of Brazil, Russia, India & China (BRIC), but the Internet infrastructure in these countries is some of the most challenging in the world.
Cedexis customers are seeing faster page-load times, more time on site, and greater revenue from their websites and mobile apps in BRIC countries, through real-time, performance-based, load balancing of multiple CDNs.
Cedexis Radar data reveals that CDN performance varies significantly between end-user ISPs, and these performance differentials change continuously throughout the day. CDN platforms are not everywhere. Economic, political and business constraints are all factors in where, how, and when they build their networks.
Even the largest CDNs only peer or have servers directly in a subset of the 34,000+ ISPs in the world. For those networks that are not directly peered with the CDNs, end users must transit across other networks to get access to CDN servers. Every day these routes change as BGP and peering arrangements are modified. Fiber cuts or outages occur, leading to unintended congestion and outages.
The use of real-time load balancing between multiple CDNs optimizes availability, latency and throughput, by routing traffic to the best-performing content source, moment by moment.
Cedexis Openmix is sensitive to what is important to you today, from both technical and commercial stand-points, and is easily updated to adapt to your changing business and technology requirements tomorrow. Here are some example uses cases customers are solving with the Cedexis Openmix global, load-balancing platform.

When a 78-year-old grandmother spends 15 days in jail for a crime she didn't commit it makes me ask, "What is our society coming to?" Increasingly we're reading more news stories on senior or elder abuse and mistreatment. Perhaps the problem has always existed and has been underreported, but now due to the large numbers of baby boomers who are aging the news media seems to have taken note. According to attorney Martha Ridgeway who represents the Colorado Gerontological Society and Senior Answers and Services, there will be 70 million older persons which will represent 20% of the population by the year 2030. Also according to Ridgeway, "two-thirds of all people who have ever lived longer than 65 years old are alive today." What does all of this mean? It means that our senior population can no longer be ignored.
Someone should have told this to the authorities who held Gabrielle Shaink Trudeau in jail for 15 days for driving with a suspended license that wasn't suspended. The 78-year-old Hallandale Beach grandmother who has no previous criminal record, was handcuffed and bound with chains around her waist like a violent criminal until County Court Judge, Lee J. Seidman, ordered her release. Some may ask, "Well, this was unfortunate, but was this really elder abuse?" You decide. According to the Miami Herald, Shaink Trudeau, who is impoverished, did not have adequate representation because two assistant public defenders who staff Broward County's magistrate court failed to stand in for her during her initial appearance the morning after her arrest. Furthermore, she did not receive a visit from an assistant public defender during her stay in jail—and her story contains additional horrors— you can read the Miami Herald's full story. So what is elder abuse? According to Senior Services Associates Inc., elder abuse is to unfairly take advantage of, exploit, impose, presume, physically harm or financially take advantage of any senior. Some states even include language in their laws that define elder abuse as any physical, financial or psychological harm imposed on a senior. Although Shaink Trudeau states that she wasn't mistreated, according to the AGS Foundation for Health in Aging, elder mistreatment occurs when someone does something or fails to do something that threatens the health and welfare of an elderly person.
To his credit, Broward County Public Defender Howard Finkelstein admits that the system failed and has directed several attorneys in his office to receive training in connection with this incident; however the attorneys will not be disciplined because Finkelstein states that there was no ill intent.
Those of us who research and teach on culture are looking to see whether the cultural dynamics within the United States will change as a large segment of its population ages. Will the culture of the U.S. evolve to reflect that of some Asian cultures which have traditional tended to revere their senior citizens? It will be interesting to see.
If you suspect that someone is suffering from elder abuse or mistreatment, contact your local social services office or your local law enforcement office.

The Three Rivers Board of Commissioners made a motion to change their method of reviewing bad debt and charity care at their meeting on Monday.
Bad Debt consists of services for which the hospital anticipated, but did not receive payment for.
Charity Care consists of services for which the hospital did not receive or expect to receive payment for because the patient met state mandated criteria of the Federal Poverty Guidelines and was deemed unable to pay.
Rebecca Meadows, Director of Community Relations and Marketing for Three Rivers Hospital, says part of the reason the hospital continues to acquire uncompensated care costs through bad debt and charity care is because it is a critical access hospital.
Meadows also says the board discussed the need to relocate the emergency department.
The Three Rivers Hospital Board of Commissioners meets the fourth Monday of each month, however, May's meeting falls on Memorial Day- so will be moved up a week to Monday, May 20th at 4PM."CLICK HERE" for Audio"CLICK HERE" for Audio

These Faith Journey poems are examples of Faith poems about Journey. These are the best examples of Faith Journey poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
If you don't find the poem you want here, try our incredible, super duper, all-knowing, advanced poem search engine.
The tears well up, and scarce could she not moan
When father, brother, husband, all have died.
She now has no possessions, neither home,
But travels to a distant, unknown land:
Once so secure, yet now compelled to roam;
Once rich in love, she treads through foreign sands.
Her weary feet move forward but by faith;
For all left to her name is mere belief:
Mind, heart so far away she seems a wraith-
Love, happiness- all taken by a thief.
When, sometime since, her heart had broke in two,
The path of life, once single, parted way;
Forsake she could, but this she would not do-
All else was gone- with mother she would stay:
"Intreat me not to leave thee," was her plea,
"For whither thou wilt go, there will I; pray
Forbid me not to follow after thee,
For where thou lodgest I would also stay:
"Thy people shall be mine, thy God my God;
And where thou liest, I will gladly lie
Beside thee, overhead the selfsame sod;
That even then thou mightest be closeby.
"And so they twain walk on, hand clasped in hand;
Both hold the only thing they yet possess:
The younger but a stranger in the land,
An enemy, a widow in distress.
She rose before the sun to find a place
Where she might gather barley ears and wheat;
A field where she might find some needed grace
To gather for their winter store of meat:
Then Boaz comes from Bethlehem, and see,
He tarries with the reapers of the wheat:
He comes to Ruth and says, "Hear'st not thou me?
Remain until the harvest is complete:
"Go not from hence, but in my fields abide,
And let thine eyes be on the field they reap;
Behold, these maidens thou may'st work beside,
And near the reapers thou may'st ever keep."
Then to her face she fell, and wond'ringly
Asked why to her, a stranger, was so kind;
And he replied that she unfailingly
Had cleaved unto her mother with one mind,
And left her father, mother, and the soil
Of her nativity, and kissed the dust
Of some strange land wherein she meant to toil;
Forsaking gods of Moab God to trust:
"The Lord," said he, "reward thee for thy deeds,
And recompense thy labour and thy love:
The God of Israel answer all thy needs,
And make his wings a shelter from above."
Then said the maid, "My lord, please let me find
Some grace and favour in thy blessed sight,
For that thou hast been friendly, spoken kind,
And I am but a stranger in the night."
Then Boaz said, "At mealtime here abide;
Rest in the shade, come, sit with us and dine:
So down she sat, a reaper on each side;
She ate her wheat and dipped her bread in wine.
Then Ruth arose, and to her work she leaves:
The master thus commands his servant men,
"Let this young maid glean e'en among the sheaves;
Rebuke her not, for she shall come again;
And let some handfuls fall onto the ground,
There let them lie for my sake and for hers
That she may glean and plenty may be found;
For reasons she has need of it are pure."
And as she worked, Ruth knew not what a sight
Of beauty and of diligence she made,
As in the golden field in sunset's light
She bowed her head and knelt as if she prayed.
It came to pass that in his fields she stayed
Until the end of barley harvest came,
When mother told the lovely little maid
To seek for his provision and his name.
She washed and dripped an oil filled with sweet
Perfumes of wild roses on her face:
She had not much; her beauty was complete
With but her finest clothes to seek his grace.
Her braided hair shone brighter than the gem
That never graced her soft and shapely form;
Her eyes, they sparkled brighter than the hem
Of gold and pearls that she had never worn:
Thus Ruth went down unto the threshing floor
Where Boaz winnowed barley till the night,
And peeked at him so shyly 'round the door;
She never let him leave her searching sight.
His workday done, the master ate and drank;
With happiness his heart was full when fed:
Then by a heap of wheat he went and sank
Into the furry robes that made his bed;
And Ruth, a while watching till he sleep
Kept vigil from a stone used as a seat,
Till when his eyes had closed and sleep was deep
She lifted up the cover from his feet
And softly laid her down and dreamed of brides
Until the watchman struck a dozen beats,
And being startled, Boaz woke and spied
A woman sleeping at his very feet:
"Who art thou?" queried he in sleepy voice;
"Thine handmaid, Ruth," was her unsure reply;
Then blessed he her for wise and kindly choice,
For passing poor and rich young fellows by.
"And now, my daughter, gladly shall I do
According to thy wishes, for all here
Consider thee as virtuous and true;
Howbeit, there is one to thee more near,
A kinsman who must duly have his say:
If he decline, then rest assured I will
Perform the part of kinsman." So she lay
Down at his feet, and both were quiet, still.
In grey of early morning she arose,
Before a face could be discernéd there;
To keep from what some people might suppose
And who might stand along the road to stare:
Then Boaz said, "Bring here the vail thou hast
Upon thy head and hold it in thy hand:
Six times the barley measure filled and passed
From heap to vail as much as she could stand.
Then Boaz went up to the city gate
To find the nearer kinsman, whom he sought,
To see if he would purchase the estate
Of Ruth, and she herself, but he could not;
So Boaz purchased all the widows' land;
The houses, barns, and fields, though overgrown;
And bought what pleased him most, Ruth's comely hand
To cherish and to make his very own:
Then Boaz went to find the handmaid, Ruth
And lift her from a servant to a wife;
To love her in all tenderness and truth
In every day God blessed them both with life.

A little boy wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip
so he packed a suitcase with chips and root beer and began
his journey.
He walked 3 blocks and met an old man sitting on a park bench
staring at pigeons.The boy sat next to him opened his suitcase
and took a sip of root beer. He noticed the old man was hungry
so he offered him chips. He took one and smiled at the boy.
His smile was so wide the boy wanted to see it again, so he
offered him root beer. Again he smiled. The boy was happy!
They sat all afternoon eating, smiling, and sharing silence
Twilight approached & the boy found he was tired so he got up
to leave. On afterthought he turned ran back, gave him a hug.
The elder gave him the biggest smile he had.
As he opened the door to his house a short time later, his mom
was surprised by the look of joy on his face. Son, "What did you
do today, that made you so happy?"
He replied, "I had lunch with God." He added, "You know what?
He's got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen!"
The old man radiant with joy returned to his home. His son was
stunned to see peace on his face and asked,
"Dad, what did you do today that made you so happy?"
"I ate potato chips in the park with God." he said
"You know, he's much younger than I expected."
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a
kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or
the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential
to turn a life around. People come into our lives for a reason
a season, or a lifetime! Embrace all equally!
Have lunch with God, bring chips, invite him home for diner...
Love & Light,

Et Portæ Inferi Non Valebit
(And the gates of hell will not prevail)
Gates of Hell shall never ever prevail
promulgation of Truth forever stands.
Soul and Spirit each rings a sounding bell
Fate's ruthless results judges all the lands.
Vanities of all men foolishly praised
Spirit's dark desires bearing bitter fruit.
Rejection of He that was truly raised
lies and corruption are the stolen loot.
Righteous hearts look to Heavenly skies
sincere prayers, deliver such bless reward.
Mankind races onward using blinded eyes
to an ending very bitter and hard.
In the dark shadow of this evil world.
Our Creator's redemption has been hurled!

Prayer Cried Out In The Storming Waves
Fought the waves, the maddened tumbling sea
doomed ship sinking swiftly beneath me
Prayers to God,to every saint I ever knew
no desire to reside beneath this ocean blue
Midnight's stormy fury soon moved past
ship gone, me clinging to a broken mast
Fear, the kind that eats into your soul
rebuked my every hopeful, impossible goal
Prayers renewed with sad desperate pleas
Lord, let me survive these angry seas
The waves beat me about with great delight
I am tired, give me strength to fight
Master,find all the good that rests in me
save me, to do all that you may please
Prayer ended, my legs and arms do so tire
as the last ember was burning in my fire
Hope raced forth in a bright shining light
dawn broke forth from that darkest night
The rays hit me with a soft, sweet breeze
so calm,so very calm my soul was at ease
A single gull flew over my bobbing head
Hope cried out,you live,you are not dead
Land must now be very close hereabouts
So tired but that did not stop my shouts
Thank you Lord,this gift I will never forget
I believe,even though I am not home yet
A rescue ship's horn was soon blasting away
saved I'd be on this fine glorious day
Soon I was safe, safe on board her deck
I knew then faith and prayer saved my neck
Captain said, saw your flare just before dawn
thats when we raced and really poured it on
I was so confused and my mind it did so stun
I had no lifesaving flares and no flare gun!

Lament Of A Former Dark Soul
I was: once darken shadow of a real man
Those I met soon found me so very bad
Like false gold in a rusty, shallow pan
Time eventually revealed me an evil cad
I was: the partaker of my own laments
A demon hellbent on satisfying my lust
Broken down, scarred covered in dents
Charming for sure but not one to trust
I was: a mist that wraps and engages
Smooth talker, master of the love arts
A dark, evil force when in my rages
Ripping many kind, loving hearts apart
I am: now an angel that found the Light
A prayer offered, the blessing found me
Seeking truth and mercy, all thats right
Away from darkness my soul did then flee
I am: a voice that cries to be so kind
Once wretched spirit giving out pain
Light brought truth invading my mind
That darkness, never shall return again
I was: once darken shadow of a real man
Those I met soon found me so very bad
Like false gold in a rusty, shallow pan
Time eventually revealed me an evil cad
Robert J. Lindley, 04-27-2015
Note : A sinner was I. Not as bad as my write portrays(poetic leeway) but
bad enough to see my former self in true light.
Don't blame me, my muse forced this one out of me!
I hope I did not shatter any images of my kind, and generous
Silver Chalice of Hope
Once chased that Silver Chalice with abandon and glee
life as yet unlived and fate yet to test,
the bounty , purity and sweetness from my living tree
days turned to years as Chalice was laid to rest
Joys, births , deaths and sorrows all cut deeply into me
Silver Chalice desperately sought yet never found,
journeying ever forward with this trust my sacred key
Silver Chalice or not , this soul still Paradise bound!

This place is surrounded by the beauty of different Flowers.
All flowers have significance here . No one Flower is better then another .
All Flowers are equal here .
It is important you know , you can cry here , and should cry as often as needed .
For the tears will cleanse your Soul and give the Flowers water to grow.
No one Tear is insignificant here , every tear has value and not one is better then another .

You will be surrounded by a beautiful light that shines from the Heavens .
A shining warm light will encircle you and allow nothing to hurt you .
Hate will be shed at the door like an old jacket of no use.
There is a place of beauty and Worth.
This place will not be found on Earth .
It is a place where no one person is better then another .

The sweetest sounds of burning trees
A gentle stroking in the breeze
The calm has lasted past the storm
Cloudy visions, Satan's roar
Too many sights have passed my way
A time found only in the haze
The softest screams are running bare
My aching bones creak as I stare
You walk a distance towards me
The fall's eternal, can't you see?
I'm a memory in your heart
I whisper to you in the dark
The battle's started at the end
No one is coming to repent
The sinners grab their wine from prey
No judgment calling here to stay
The sport is reckless to be told
The one is laughing at his souls
It falters nowhere to be sure
The power grows forevermore
Like a spirit in the wind
I have no say in where you've been
But cross the line to come to me
And pay the price for ecstasy
You walk a distance towards me
The fall's eternal, can't you see?
I'm a memory in your heart
I whisper to you in the dark.

To walk in the shoes of a man that's broken
Is to walk this earth with God
To wade through murky waters
To be at peace amidst the storm
To believe that you are truly free
Is to trust in the word of God
To love in spite of animosity
To fear no one, but to do wrong
To rise up and walk each time you fall
Is to be the apple of God's eye

What choice has bittersweet despair,
A dying rose,
An empty chair.
Shall I then grieve and weep for thee
And temper broken heart and soul
So I can cherish one more gaze
Of happiness, of summer days
And bristle with abiding love
Of life cast now in shade and brook,
This ebb which pains with force and fate
United soon through heavens gate.

Blowing through a vast crevasse –
from whirling tempest;
to calming balm on wounded skin;
to constant howl;
to sunlit kiss, onto warm lips –
I am a promise,
to the girl who waits,
within the cave, where no light shines;
where sucking blackness and decay
consumes and claws across
the barren expanse that is –
My inner child's mind.
Little Kristin, girl of 7
(when time stopped)
suspended upon a bony pillar, sits,
engulfed by craggy mountain walls –
The cave of sorrows.
A black pit surrounds the tower,
held hostage by those who would keep her silent;
(protecting the illusion at all costs)
she waits,
and as silent as the fear that creeps up
the lone pillar,
(coming for the light in her eyes)
killing slowly, methodically,
attacking light –
the light that creeps through cracks;
breaks through holes;
breathes life into darkness –
(minions of death vying to stay her shine).
Her holly-hobby night gown
(full of broken dreams)
tattered and torn,
crowns her dirty little feet.
A grayed white gag, beneath soiled cheeks –
(like apples, they used to say)
blackened by yesterday,
save for the dappled light that shines,
from green eyes –
just a glimpse…
then gone.
A tiny flame flickers, within small hands –
(holding what was stolen)
keeping the beasts at bay...
(lighting a Mother's way)
They say I was everything to the one in the photographs –
The light giver.
Light taken,
and given.
Her battery drained,
(strength offered to the shining moon)
then gone.
Permanently erased.
Eradicated, liberated (grace or fear?)
Strength was my gift born
from her weakness -
my birthright, and soul's mantra.
My soul was God's gift -
my strength,
was her gift –
I am battery doubled.
No more am I dirty black holes
hiding in shadow,
For I am wind…
I am nowhere,
And everywhere.
I am past, present and future.
My soul is freedom blowing through the cracks
left by the black maker (innocence taker);
into my darkest depths;
holding the little girl (lost, no more) –
kissing her face;
drying her tears;
leaving the cave -
carrying my child home.
Together we light
the ancient halls,
Where I am the light maker now.
Winding my way from heaven to
kissing the nose's of my five reasons
found –
My soul is wind
from the heaven's,
and these are the gifts
that my soul

This is the tale of Sandy the snail...
Who always wore her hair in a ponytail...
She was different from others and I'm sure you'll agree...
As her colors were bright neon fluorescent green you see...
She wasn't content just moving slow...
She wanted to run like a Marathon Pro...
Up early each morning...
When the Sun arose...
She did pushups, pull ups and touched her toes...
Alas... it was then she realized this was futile...
As everyone knows...
If she had feet, she would be more mobile...

My journey home is closer today,
than it was yesterday.
Someday my heart aches and pain
will pass me by.
My journey home will be a
most beautiful trip,like no one
has ever taken before.
Mother has been waiting for me,
there on those goldend shores,
ever since her parting from this old world
many years ago.
Taking one day at a time,
until I take my
journey home, when I sit down
with my Lord and thank Him
for what he did for me
on Calvary that day so long ago.

Recovery is great,
rich is the fine reward,
rosy, the future fate
reflecting on love's card.
Remember the high cost,
removing the price tag.
Rejoice, not all is lost!

There Is Another World
There is a panther in my back pocket that does hides
sometimes leaping out to slash and take other's sides
When necessary I unleash it's great power and rage
woe and tribulation then reigns supreme upon that stage
There is a tiger in my heart waiting to be set free
turn it loose as my soul eats fruit from life's tree
As new love arrives I keep it held in very deep check
nevering allowing it's power to cause another wreck
There is a kitten in my soul that yearns to truly love
pure milk it drinks and sings like a beautiful dove
As it plays and gives back far more that ever it takes
healing my worries , ever so deeply tragic heart aches
There is another world that gives those gifts to me
Coxing forth kindness and goodness from my life tree....

I've been told that I am a walking talking contradiction.
A man that swings from gentle to bad. Some of that is
true but only because of the great many spiritual battles
I have surely had.. Today, I've slain the Dragon, so mighty
is it's roar in defeat.
Reception At The Heavenly Destination
( Tribute to- The Last Journey.)
Home far away in that shrinking mist of light
this moment is for earthly mortal passing
Up ahead glows a brilliant golden Heavenly sight
one that any imagination fails in surpassing.
Well, the big gate opens, music hits my ears
I feel the angels now serenely flying
Here rests no sin, anger, hate or earthly fears
Truth living here banished all the lying.
Trumpets are now sounding, soft blasts that sing
joy and laughter now invading this soul
All is faith and love in a huge blazing golden ring
high above us, a throne on Holy hill's knoll
Earth and its memories now seen in a new light
pain and sorrow sent forever far away
All is sweet daylight, banished is dark of night
"Our Savior's Welcome" tis' all the angels say!
"Approach my son", booms out from throne on the hill.
Your soul is most welcome, as it is my Father's will!

Written as promised to Peter, my tribute to his great poem,
The poem above was inspired by Peter Duggan's great poem,
from his most recent poetry book,
titled -The Last Journey......
The Last Journey
I am going home , my song is over
The actor rests, his time has come
I am going to cross that mystic river
And gaze upon that clear bright sun.
Well I can hear the whisper calling
And telling me "your time has come"
The image dies the mask is falling
No more the many, there's just the one.
As energy is dissipating
All worldly cares they wilt to nil
There's no more wrath , there's no more hating
There is no thing just a space so still.
I say goodbye to all who knew me
But do not grieve me when I'm gone
I'll rest in peace my friends but someday
I'll come again to sing my song.
Peter Duggan
I have traveled in search of
Meaning to this existence
But for tomorrow I weep and find little peace
As an emptiness still exists that cries for
With arms outstretched I cry Oh Father, Father
I've seen the outer limits of Your universe
But still I feel an emptiness
I have searched for answers and have been denied
I have touched the planets and still
Feel the loneliness of the masses
But I continue my journey and am so far from home
As my tears mix with the blood
The answers come
Yes my son
Continue your journey and look
Yes Look
Within your soul.

It all started a long time ago
on a journey our King did go
he went into the wilderness all alone
to be tempted by the enemy
but he did not groan
he went to prepare the way
for salvation will come one day
he fasted and he prayed
from Gods' will he never strayed
he stayed focused he stayed strong
even when he was hungry and the days seemed long
he continued his journey until the end
for those that he called friends
he died and he rose
for those that God had chose.
God so loved the world that he gave his only son
that whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

Deep In My Heart, Sweet Redemption Dwells
(Three lines in verse)
In my song, then : "Love was so sweet"
Yet it never ever dares
gives sad soul too much to eat.
In my tale, now : "Life stays so true"
Although it never spells
out all the evil we so often do.
In my life, then : "Fate delivered pain"
Yet it rarely gave out
the blessed gifts of Spring rain.
In my spirit soon : "Mercy will give"
Although it reminds us
faith, by faith it tis' best to live.

A mist, a memory;
A song in a dream that was wrapped in purple cloak
So great the relief felt
joy and happy tears merged with love
I cried out with praise and sobs so great
deep feelings swelled my breasts and made me choke.
With difference comes a barrier
A bus is an all people carrier
A bus is the world we journey through
Break it in pieces and our journey will not peruse
God is love, and loves us all
So why do followers create such a big wall
Different rivers, but all to the same sea
Single leaves to the same tree
Different mugs with the same tea
A Muslim, Christian and Hindu are all human just like you and me
Divisions grow inside of religion
Diversity has veiled the true vision
Moral righteous vs. an open a heart
Respect each other and tear the barriers apart
I'm sick of conflict between different Relgions

To play as if today
Is your only chance.
Some say, "It's just a game."
Have they done the Victory Dance?
When hard-earned Victory
Was finally at hand,
Have they felt the glory
Raining down from the stands?
To do or not to do….
No one wants to hear, "We tried."
Effort and dedication will be rewarded…
They'll make the 'magic' that's on your side.
Yes, to fall short is still an option;
But much better to succeed.
Heroes are made and remembered
Only by their deeds.
So, just go out and win.
Give your all to each and every chance.
Persevere and achieve…
And do the Victory Dance.

In the past I remember how things were so simple
When I was little my cheeks had such cute dimples
Looking back I remember how sweet I was as a child
When I think again my heart told me I was so wild
Yet, in time my simple choices was revealed as true as anyone
The reason I was the way I am today, I did things, to get done
Finishing lots of my undone ideas was so incredibly hard
So I figure my heart and choices should never hold in no bard
I never thought I would learn heart aches and pain
With such under statement I did things for no gain
I was a child who held true to what he has learned
But as we got older those kinda perspective would get me burned
When I made up my mind that people was not kind
I led myself in a confusion that I was blind
In the past I do recall that seeing is believing
So I was the one who stood their with friends leaving
Alone, I felt I did not belong, I cherish each person who knew me
I got older too see how the world works it stung me like a bee
The feeling of tingling ran through my vain
My view of the world and people who knew me was stained
Now I know they are out for their selves with no kind feelings
Life I know is just a joke because of who I hung out with seeing
Today as I look at the world it is in such shambles and astray
And rather fallow everyone I just walk away

So many dreams, so many thoughts
Going through my mind
Although it seems, I may have lots
I still need to find
A way to put these dreams,
These thoughts into motion
Because sometimes is seems,
I just make a commotion
About the good that could be done
About how I should act
About the direction I could run
About how I should react
To each and every one
But what good are my thoughts
What good are my dreams
Unless I find the means
To make them a reality
Unless I find a way
To make them part
Of each and every day
So I won't just think about
And then right away doubt
The good that could be done
The way I could act
The direction I could run
The way I could react
To each and everyone
The victory that could be won
Instead when I see
The part I could play
I won't doubt but believe
That there is a way
To put these dreams
These thoughts, into action
Because now it seems
It might give me satisfaction
To be the person, to be the one,
Who doesn't just dream
About the direction he could run
Who doesn't just think
About the victory. that could be won
But does the things,
the thoughts and dreams
That have long been, left undone

They were Meriwether Lewis and William Clark,
Her name was Sacagawea.
On an expedition they did embark
Finding the passage to the sea.
Down the Missouri they traveled,
Then slithered 'round the Snake River bend.
Rocky Mountain weather and sickness battled;
At the Columbia River they'd end.

It is crop time in Beantown.
The people of the City have the seeds to plant.
Their best harvest is the orange that is yellow.
Jake Castle is a great farmer.
His wife, Nefreda Maria, is one of the conservators.
Their yellow orange yields a greater harvest.
The children of Beantown are full of excitement.
They are the ones that florae.
This year is hyperactive because six years have passed.
The yellow orange is now in vegetation.
Once picked, the seeds are replanted
making the next garnering even more fulfilling.
This year Jake has a plan.
He will visit Giant's land to plant the yellow orange to grow afar.
He desires the experience of a different crop.
He knows the rich soil of Giantvillism will bring forth a larger fruitage.
This is an ultimate gain to a more endowed yield.
Therein, the next six years will culminate in both places.
Once the harvesting was completed in Beantown,
Jake journeys to Giant's sphere of influence.
His bag of seeds was his gift to the Land of the Big People.
Giant of the Big People embrace Jake
while Maddy shouted "A hearty hello to Jake."
Tomorrow they will scatter the seeds of the yellow orange.
Six years later…
Beantown sings as the yellow orange gleams
in the photosynthesis of the sun.
Every family harvested their fruit and
people from other realms travel to purchase the fruition.
Beantown economy flourishes.
In Giantvillism, Giant harvest was grandiose.
The yellow orange fruition was up to
twice the size of Beantown's fruitage.
Jake and Nefreda along with their three children journeyed afar
bringing back seeds of Giant's yellow orange to grow in Beantown.
The next six years will make all very proud.
But for now, Beantown wealth is the show stopper.
All over talks about how those people of little means
henceforth a world of meaning.

Dear God, when the sun rises,
I can only wish for a better day.
I'm not looking for consolation prizes;
I know life can't go entirely my way.
I just want to love and be loved,
To have hope and a great faith.
Sometimes the choices in life are tough,
After sunrise creates a new day.

Do you believe in the things that you've always known,
Can you understand the things you've been shown.
Is it the visions you see that make you believe,
Or is the feelings you get when you've been deceived.
The pain you feel a never ending ache ,
Tearing your heart and soul from you every day.
Time ticks slowly pounding away at you,
Throbbing heart breaking and there's nothing you can do,
Must I settle for these lost and broken dreams,
Because it has all the signs that what it seems.
How much should a man endure to find his way,
It cant possibly be like this hard for me every day.
There is nothing so frustrating as being so confused,
Especially when you've discovered that you've been used.
I will get through this lonely phase I have no doubts,
But I'm sure there will come a day I'll figure it all out.
Cautiously I walk the path that's been laid before me,
In faith I will continue for I know he will let me see.
Life will be thrown at you in so many different ways,
I will be prepared for these things for the rest of my days.
Broken dreams will be the learning tree for me to grow ,
Living my life with Joy Happiness is what I'll always Know.

Such an Amazing girl god put into my life.
He knew i needed you at that exact time
Funny when we met I thought you were to good for me
But when you approached me the sweetest girl I did meet.
From that day on we have never truly been apart cause I
carry you around everywhere in my heart. You have been the
rock when I needed a friend around, you have been the light
when the darkness consumed me and took away my sunshine
Even when were miles apart the phone connects us and keeps
our strongest bond. 17 years feels like such a short time but
I feel I have always had you in my life. Soul Sisters we were
meant to be.. You my beloved friend are such a fresh breeze
Even after a year apart it was like yesterday that we did part
so through the many miles and through the long hard road
I know this friendship will always survive. Your a burst of joy
to me each day I thank the Lord for the sweet blessing he gave!

Verlena's destiny calls for a perfected cause.
In the aura of amazing grace via a walk of faith, is her voice.
At the Tombs of Saints, she proclaims her life and choice.
She will not be suppressed.
She will uplift her existence to what is best, that which is rightful.
During the colonial time the thinking of man, in this part of the world, was based on intelligence.
He defined the structure for equality yet, enslavement.
He emancipated yet, civil entrapment.
He became mobile, nevertheless, systematic discrimination formed.
And, as all of this was taking place, founding fathers were manifesting destiny.
The lens of the future is today.
Hasten through transgression Verlena is anointed to be wise.
The knowledge endowed has awarded her insight to the Social Sciences.
She is the founder of a New School of Thought – The School of Social Theology.
Therefore, I am Social Theorem of today.
A Social Scientist generalization, which evolved from the acumen of history titivated.
Insofar as Verlena S. Walker will henceforward to remove the troubles of the world,
Therein; a socio-political socio-religious structure has formed.

My Horse has never been the most forward going. If you push him to go forward faster, he stops or does not react to aids. He does not canter very often under saddle as he is lazy and unbalanced.
I have been told by instructor to practice transitions (walk - trot) so my horse is quicker to react off a squeeze ready for competitions. Which i totally agree with so it looks tidier and so i can be more accurate so am trying to do this.
However my horse does not react to whips or kicks or squeezes if he doesnt want to or cant be bothered. To be honest, hes quite dis-respectful. If swishes his tail, and slows down whih is very irritating. He makes the rider work hard, which i find quite draining.
I have been told to squeeze once and if nothing, a squeeze and a tap of the schooling whip to reinforce, but it still takes my horse a while to respond.
When lungeing, i have to ask once and wait for a short moment before he walks or trots, as if i push him to do it faster, he turns and looks asif to say 'don't push me'. You could chase him with a whip, and he'd do nothing. Its almost asif he doesnt listen sometimes.
What should i be doing?
What am i doing wrong?
Do i just need to practice practice practice?
How can i make him more responsive?
.... His saddle teeth etc have all been checked recently so no pain related issues.
He is making it difficult for me to ride, as i get nakerd after half an hour becos he happily lets me push him along without him repsonding.

natalie.123 says:
ooooo he sounds a stubborn fella. The tranistion thing is good but if he isn't listening in the first place no wonder your cream crackered. I personally would use spurs on him to be able to give a sharp precise jab to get the reaction. I know not everyone likes them but i use them on Blaze as he can just switch off totally. You dont need great big things but maybe try the ones with the ball on instead of an end. You can give him a kick and if no reaction, can give a bigger one but then still take the leg pressure off once he does respond. If he really is just dead to the aids and does as he pleases all the time he maybe a horse that you will have to accept is like it and will not change?
Hes only 6 so hopefully he isnt dead in the sides and ive caught him early. He sure is stubborn, highly strung little monster. He is new to schooling since i got him so hope to improve with maybe some spurs then (with the ruber ball) im going to try and imporve my riding before using them, but hopefully we will get there in the end! When he is going forward, he can work so much easier and bend etc, but its just getting him there!

*Raychel*&*Gally* says:
Does he not respond to a whip atall? If Gally doesnt respond to a squeeze, then a kick, he gets a whack with the whip. Harsh but I only have to do it maybe 3 times a year and he knows. Id try spurs as Nat said. Also maybe try using your leg further back, could be hes sort of dead in one area and just moving your legs forwards/backwards will wake him up a bit more. xx
Never Play Leapfrog With A Unicorn
Nope. You could use a lunge whip right behind him, and rather than move he would swish his tail, pull a face and kick out and not move... very stubborn and very disrespectful! Im too soft so when im riding i dont like using a whip either, so after one tap... i dont like doing it again :( e budges a little, but he's hard work!
Every thing has to be on 'his terms' so some cleverness is needed too! Its wierd because he yields fine! Will try the leg further back too!

I wouldn't resort to spurs just yet as once you use them it is hard to go back and he is a youngster! I have a mare who was stubborn like you describe and it was all down to the fact that she just didn't respect me. From what you say your fella doesn't respect you both on the ground or on his back. YOu need to address him from ground level first before you tackle whilst on him.
With my mare I went as a demo horse to a Kelly Marks event and what we did was as follows:
We put on a dually halter (you don't need to buy one you can use a normal headcollar with the lunge line threaded over the top of the nose and back to the part where you lead from so you can apply pressure as required. Make sure you are wearing your hat gloves and boots etc and have the line ready to flick next to him. Take your horse into an enclosed space and lead around, the moment he stops squeeze with the lunge line and ask him to move. You must ensure that you do not move from the spot where you stopped and have your back to him. If no response after a few attempts turn around looking dominant walk straight to the front of him and ask him to go back. If he does not respond fllick him quite hard with the line, firmly say back and step into his space for a few steps, turn around immediately and walk off in the direction that you were travelling in and see if he follows. If not repeat until he follows without any pressure. Once you have mastered this you can walk to his side and push him round in a circle. Under no certain terms does he step into your space! You step into his! You can enhance this at feed times or stepping into the field by stepping into his space and making him back off - you are the herd leader and he will respect you. Once you have him moving away from you in circles you can build this up to lunging. When lunging well you can start on the riding bit.
For the riding bit it is quite bizzare, but again it works. If your horse responds and goes forward well jump off an praise him. He will learn that if he moves you will get off him, which actually is what he wants. Start in walk first and then move up into trot and then onto canter. Just go up and down the school or field at first and don't worry about where you are going so long as it is forwards and reward when this happens. The canter bit is a bit like doing gymkhana. Once you are competent at all of these you can then change the reward for when you are in trot to a walk on a long rein and the same for canter.
It worked for my stubborn mare, perhaps it will work for you. It is not a quick fix, but boy is it worth all the hard work in the end. It took me all winter to master it from the ground to being ridden.
Good luck and let us know how you get on.
Didnt realise he was a youngster as it read like an older horse. Would therefore agree that maybe spurs are a step or 3 away. It does sound like you need to establish some boundaries and ground rules to get him repecting you and what you are asking. It could be a long proccess but am sure the rewards will be there to get. If however he doesnt respect anything you are trying then i would still look at using them further down the line.

Hello, he sounds like a very stubbon boy. The horse i ride is only 6 and is exactly the same, maybe not quite as bad, but the answer i find is praise praise praise!! As soon as i start schooling her i will do lots of transtitions from halt to walk and as soon as she moves forward praise her. As soon as you get him in a decent walk let him walk at his own pace and praise him, then again ask him to pick it up and then as soon as he does praise him then let him walk slower again. Also do lots of circles and serpentines etc.. to keep him interested. the same with trot if you ask for trot and he just stumbles into it then straight away ask again , really give him a growl and really exagerate your rise to encourage him to move quiker to keep in time with you, again as soon as he goes in to a nice forward trot let him go back down to a walk. hope it helps xx

What are you feeding him? Maybe he genuiney has no energy.. I mean its not like a 6yo to be lazy. There could even be a medical problem, id ring the vet and ask just to be sure. Of course he COULD just be lazy, but it is a bit strange.
He is fine out on hacks and on the lunge etc, just abit nappy in the school, and plain stubborn i think! And i think im a quiet lazy rider so need to get into gear and not forget to speak whilst on board.
Im thinking its to do with respect and he swishes his tail and even leading in from the field sometimes can be a drag! disobedient monster! Hes usually a diamond in the summer, but seems to have the winter stroppy blues.
I feed him alfa a oil, build up cubes garlic twice a day (as suggested by D&H last year and explained work load, temperment etc) and he gets ad lib haylage and 24/7 turnout. He is a very stressy little thing so i cant feed for energy or he'l go from being stubborn lazy to a giraffe who will spook at abit of sand in the sand school hehe.
Have a session again tomorrow so will see how it goes with the above suggestions
Thanks very much for all suggestions!

I'm trying to figure out what a buffer is in RAM, I'm currently learning about RAM and the different types. Could someone please explain to me the importance and purpose of a buffer in say DDR2 memory modules?
I think you are referring to unbuffered, buffered and fully buffered RAM. If not please clarify your post.
First, this is how basic RAM works:
Example: CPU want to read something from RAM and load it in a register
Now that is a simplified example. In praxis there are a few complications.
Also note that I explicitly choose an example where the data was read into an on-CPU register. Again, the data was copied from the bus to a place in the CPU. This might be a literal copy, or there may be a buffer at the 'edge' of the CPU where the data is copied to the buffer, and then from the buffer to a register. (Possibly because internal registers and external RAM use different voltages, and the buffer is used to work with both of them).
Instead of feeding the desired data directly from the memory chips output, it would be copied to a buffer near the DIMMs output. Memory modules which have this features are called buffered or registered.
Memory which lacks this is called unbuffered or unregistered.
are you sure you mean buffer, and not FSB/CPU-side cache?
if so, see here for a detailed coverage of Disk IO caching/buffering in ram.

Police arrested a 33-year-old Youngstown man who had three active warrants out of the Columbiana County Sheriff's Office.
Morris D. Perry, who also goes by Morris Johnson, was wanted for three counts of trafficking dangerous drugs, police said.
Boardman police received an anonymous tip that Perry was at the Red Roof Inn, 1051 Tiffany South, and went to the hotel at about 8 p.m. Wednesday, arrested Perry and transferred him to Columbiana County deputies.
People talk about the crime in Youngstown but ignore the much larger crime problems in Columbiana and other county bumbkin areas. Kids are brought up with guns in these outer areas. Mix the dangerous legal drug alcohol and the illegal drugs they produce with these children of guns and now the problem is just as bad as the city. With the potential to be much worse!
to tax me....... There is crime everywhere. Some places worse than others. I moved from Y-town to Columbiana years ago and it was the best thing that I ever did. The Police are great and so is the town. Wouldn't have it any other way. And by the way we aren't "country bumpkins" in which you spelled it wrong.
No place is immune from crime. It don't matter where you live.
That's right the country kids are raised with guns and parents that teach them respect for the guns and human life. You don't hear of country kids just walking around shooting each other.
Boardman and Poland not only need to protect their northern boarders but it's apparent the Southern boarders need protection too!
