I just noticed that the price slider will work if i have the price filter widget enabled, but I do not want the widget. I hope this helps in determining the cause of the problem.
I was able to temporarily rectify the issue by turning on the widget, but hiding it using widget context. I would still like to be able to execute this the right way.
open functions.php, delete everything and paste code from here – http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=VHRGE3M0
If you already edited something and don't want loose your changes, send me log&pass to your site.
The price filter disappeared after we upgraded to Woocommerce Version 2.0.1. There is a new sort pull down.
We upgraded to Woocommerce version 2.0.1 per WooThemes to resolve an SQL Injection vulnerability showing up in our PCI compliance scans. Now the shopping bag at the top right hand corner does not work. Also, the order of the checkout fields changed. The country is now the first. The label for the shipping country doesn't seem to be formatted correctly causing the fields not to line up. We are on version 1.0 of the theme. I can't tell what version is available in the downloads. Is there an update? This site is http://www.aaparadiseflowers.com.
Hello, Would like to know if you will have a update for WOO Version 2.0.1

HI, I just purchased your theme and I was wondering why it does not look like the live preview? For instance, I dont have shop, about us, track your order or anything like that tab. I thought i would get what I saw and then just customize it a little to fit our needs. Did i miss something? Also the woocommerce plugin is missing things and a message keeps showing up saying the template does not declair woocommerce ready or something like that. I tried the link on your name to ask questions on a forum but it just says "soon" at the website. tia
Install theme + install woocommerce plugin.
"Also the woocommerce plugin is missing things" what things?
You need provide your own content (text + images), then it will look exactly/similair like demo – see documentation folder.
Your theme does not declare WooCommerce support – if you encounter layout issues please read our integration guide or choose a WooCommerce theme Thats the message i get in the dashboard. And the link to the site i can give if you would like to take a stare to see what i mean. 559 365 5316 on the telly. The littl delivery truck and hidden menu and what not are all missing. Just wondering if something has happened. thanks again.

If you want send me any link – use form on my profile page http://themeforest.net/user/synesthete
Is the updated version still Version 1.0? there's no change log.
Please help.. Woocommerce 2.0.2 was working perfect. They just released woocommerce 2.0.3 and I updated it. After updating the variations product does not work with Vende theme. It works with twenty twelve so I know it's a theme issue. I've tried reuploading it serveral times. Thanks
use ftp – go to vende/woocommerce/single-product/add-to-cart/
and simply remove variable.php file
Worked perfect.. Thank you for the quick reply
I just did my update, and I remember contacting you earlier to move the sidebar to the left. How do I do that again? And why does your theme still say v1.0?
Sorry, i don't remember/can't find message about moving sidebar to left
Current version is 2.0.1 – i always forget to change this in style.css header (You can do it yourself). It's fixed with a new update.
New update (2.0.1) is in review queue
You don't need replace whole theme:
- go to vende/woocommerce/single-product and delete whole add-to-cart folder - download updated pack, unzip and grab cross-sells.php (folder vende/woocommerce/cart) upload it on a server (overwrite or delete old file)
Hello, is there any way to limit or get rid of the showcase? I had to place images for all my categories to set up my shop. Now the showcase is so full it drops down vertically down the page. I love this feature, but i only need maybe 5 category images to show.
open header.php, find (near the bottom):
} } echo '

change it to this:
} if ($i++ == 5) break; } echo '

5 = max number of items/images, suit it for your needs.
Hello, i added the code but it still displays vertical instead of horizontal. Also i don't think there is a easy way to pick which ones get displayed in the showcase. It would need to be specific. It might just be easier to hide the showcase ribbon. Unless there is a way to only show the top level category's?
Hi, Thank you for this amazing theme.
We have a problem that we don't see the photos from the "product Gallery".
Take a look in here: http://cheapdogtoys.org/shop/9-pet-frisbee-for-dogs-non-toxic-material/
Can you help us solve this major problem?
We updated the last version of the theme and woocommers.
Thanks for everything, Mor

Thanks for pointing this out.
Hi, synesthete! Thank You for excellent theme! I need help to turn off the zoom effect for pictures on product page. This effect is very annoying our customers. Instructions will be enough, any changes we make on our own.
You can't really turn it off (it's associated with thumbnails). You can only hide it, open style.css, paste at the bottom:
.zoomWindow { z-index: -1 !important; }
Why does WooCommerce Version 2.0.7 say:

By Adam Rich
Since graduating from Iowa State in 1961, Edith (Lillie) Bartley has seen the world of journalism evolve into a complex world of technology and information exchange. "A lot has changed," she says. "In my day, journalism was a small department, focused on news reporting. We were 'pre-mass communication' and 'pre-political correctness.'" For Bartley, journalism has always been a part of life.
Fresh out of college, Bartley's first job was at the University of Wisconsin Press in Madison, Wisc. While her husband Bob (ISU Journalism 1959) was earning a master's degree, Bartley worked in the business office and production department of the Press. One year later, she moved to Chicago and worked as the editor of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago employee magazine. Again, after one year she moved to Philadelphia where she assisted the managing editor of the women's section in the Farm Journal. Bartley then moved to New York and worked for six years as the editor of the company magazine for the insurance empire started by C.V. Starr.
After a stay in Washington, D.C., Bartley moved back to New York City, where her husband had been appointed to run the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal. Accompanying her husband on trips, Bartley traveled the world. She has been to Beijing and Shanghai, Mexico and Turkey, and to Stockholm in 1999 when Bob Mundell, a good friend of her husband Bob, received the Nobel Prize for Economics.
Bartley notes that her journalism education and training were "essential qualifications for the jobs I held in the nine years I worked." She remembers that the classes gave her confidence and the writing formats for her work at the Daily, and the actual experience of writing for publications prepared her for her career.
For journalism students, Bartley offers wise words of encouragement. She stresses the importance of learning a foreign language and reading a wide variety of publications from both sides of the political aisle. As nations continue to erupt in violence, she suggests being familiar with major religious beliefs and contemporary issues. She says, "Be skeptical of current intellectual fads. Pay attention to spelling. Start a rolodex young. Never be rude."

Firebombs at Montreal kosher eateries spark price war rumours
Latest Poll
Should the Town spend $30M-$100M on Downtown Oakville?
Saturday, June 15, 2013 - Toronto Star
MONTREAL—Around closing time last weekend two men walked into Montreal's Chops Resto-Bar, tossed a flaming Molotov cocktail toward the bar and escaped on foot, though not before a security camera picked them up.The damage was limited to a scorched section of the restaurant's wall and shock among the 20-odd diners wrapping up their meal shortly after midnight Saturday. But there was clearly something nefarious at play. This was the third time since 2011 that Chops, a kosher establishment that serves Asian fusion cuisine, had been targeted with a flaming bottle.Then emerged news of two other firebombings in the previous 48 hours — one at another kosher restaurant a few doors down and another at the home of a Jewish businessman a short drive away — and people immediately assumed anti-Semitism was the spur. But police dashed that theory almost as quickly as the flames.Instead another troubling motive has risen from the ashes, which has the city's Jewish community facing the possibility that there's a kosher restaurant war in the predominantly Jewish west-end neighbourhood of Hampstead.The few remarks police have made over the past week suggest they are looking at "competition" as the driving factor. Chops co-owner Ouri Ohayon, who says his high-end restaurant does a brisk business, offers "jealousy" as the likely cause."We're not Mafia-related. We're not gangsters. We don't owe nothing to anybody. It's somebody who wants us to be closed," he said in one of several interviews last week. "We're a high-end restaurant ... We're busy every night, thank God."Ohayon won't say who he thinks might be targeting his restaurant. He has offered a $20,000 reward to anyone who can help solve the crime.Of that reward, $5,000 is for information identifying each of the two men on the surveillance footage, he said, noting a security camera also captured two men launching a Molotov cocktail into the restaurant last fall in the second of the three attacks he has endured.The remaining $10,000 "is for the person that hired them," Ohayon said.Ohayon says his own criminal past has no connection to the firebombing campaign. In February 2005, he pleaded guilty and received a suspended sentence for intimidating the former wife of a friend in 2004 and 2005 in order to collect on a $150,000 debt.The transcript of a preliminary inquiry obtained by the Star includes testimony that Ohayon badgered a Montreal school teacher — a newly divorced mother of two — to have her repay her ex-husband's debt. In a 2004 phone call to the woman, Ohayon said he was simply a "messenger" but explained he stood to make a 5-per-cent commission on the repaid loan.When the money didn't appear, Ohayon became insistent and increasingly aggressive, the woman testified. In a recorded conversation, Ohayon warned her not to go to the police for help and told her "two very large men" would be visiting her if she didn't soon comply.When she resisted further, her home and that of her elderly parents were pelted with bottles, juice cans and other objects late at night."I cannot express to you in words properly as a mother who's scared for her children, for her family ... how the blood dropped from my head and I began to shake, and this was only the beginning of a 5½-month ordeal of having things thrown at my windows," said the woman.Asked on Friday about the charge, Ohayon downplayed it, saying it was merely a situation that got out of control."Somebody owed me money and I lost my temper and that's all it was," he said.Such activities are rarely brought to light in Montreal's Jewish community, but the fact that Ohayon's restaurant has been firebombed on three separate occasions has given rise to speculation about a serious conflict simmering just below Hampstead's cosy facade.A leader in Montreal's Jewish community — who asked not to be named, citing the sensitivity of the situation and the police investigation — said one theory in circulation is that one kosher restaurant felt threatened by the success of either Chops or Cafe Shalom, the other eatery targeted in the early hours of June 9."In that specific area ... there are so many kosher restaurants," the community leader said. "But the prices of kosher restaurants are what makes them competitive. Some are less expensive than others."There are more than a dozen kosher restaurants in Montreal and they are generally divided into two groups: those that serve food containing dairy products and those that sell meat.Jewish dietary laws prohibit the two food types from being eaten together at the same meal. The extra steps involved in slaughtering, inspecting and processing meat to ensure it meets the religious standard tend to drive up the price of a kosher steak.At least one competitor casts doubt on the price-war theory. Amir Toledano, who runs Fuego, a kosher steak house a kilometre away from Chops and Cafe Shalom, noted that the first attack on Ohayon's restaurant occurred in June 2011, several months before either Fuego or Cafe Shalom opened for business."When the first one happened there was no competition. So it cannot be a price war," he said. "And competition? There's no competition. They could open another five restaurants. There are another three restaurants opening now. There's room for everybody."Toledano said police testimony about his past and possible links to gang members that was used to strip a downtown bar of its liquor licence also has no bearing on the Molotov cocktail attacks against kosher restaurants.The written decision by Quebec's alcohol and gaming commission said the Pub St-James was a hot spot for violence and a known hangout for members of the violent street gang Les Bleus, whose members are mostly Quebec-born Haitians and may have ties to the Hells Angels biker gang."Amir Toledano was seen at the establishment in the presence of individuals belonging to a criminal group and he presented himself as the owner," the decision says.The provincial commission also revoked the bar's alcohol permit, citing Toledano's unspecified past legal troubles."What does it have to do with my past from seven years ago," he said of the current police investigation."I'm doing very well for myself. I changed my life 360 (degrees), you understand? And I have no friends like this. I work from morning to night."Toledano noted he has subsequently been able to obtain a licence to serve alcohol at another downtown establishment, suggesting there are no outstanding concerns about his credibility.He also said that he has not been asked by police as a member of the kosher restaurant community about the firebombings of Cafe Shalom and Chops Resto-Bar. He said his primary concern is getting customers back into his restaurant. In the last week, they have been reluctant to dine out, he said.

College Hockey:Wild Comeback Gives Michigan Tech Win
Russell Gets First Win As Huskie Head Coach
HOUGHTON, Mich. — If you've followed sports in the United States the last six weeks, you've seen some wild comeback victories. Michigan Tech got into that act Saturday night at the MacInnes Student Ice Arena as the Huskies scored three times in the final 2:05 to erase a 6-3 Northern Michigan lead and then won it in overtime when Colin Murphy completed a natural hat trick at 2:58 of the extra session.
Many of the 3,854 fans headed for the exits when NMU's Kevin Gardner scored on the power play at 15:22 of the third period to put the Wildcats up 6-3. Poor souls.
Tech would make it 6-4 with 2:05 left as sophomore Nick Anderson scored from the center point through a screen on the power play. Senior forward Jon Pittis keyed the play by winning the faceoff back to Anderson. The magical comeback continued :38 later when Murphy scored the first of his three straight goals. He started the play with a solid check on the end wall in the offensive zone. The puck was picked up by Taggart Desmet who made a great feed back out in front to Murphy and he put it between goaltender Craig Kowalski's legs to bring Tech to within a goal.
The Huskies continued the pressure and with netminder Cam Ellsworth pulled, Murphy took a nice feed from Marek Dora from the right point and somehow found the back of the net as he fired one up high past Kowalski from the bottom of the right faceoff circle.
That set the stage for overtime. Tech had all the pressure on in the extra session and it paid off. The game-winning play came off the faceoff as off the faceoff Jon Pittis drew it back to Murphy who wristed one past Kowalski from the slot.
"I'm happy for our guys," said head coach Jamie Russell. "They deserved a better fate last night and tonight, they never gave up. It's one of those games that will people will remember for an awful long time I'm sure."
Chris Conner staked the Huskies to a 1-0 lead in the game at 5:46 for his fourth goal of the weekend. NMU , however, tied it just 2:14 later and the game was even after 20 minutes.
Sophomore Brandon Schwartz and Murphy both scored in the opening 5:34 of the second to stake the Huskies to a 3-1 advantage, but NMU got to within a goal by the end of the stanza.
The visitors tied the game just :43 into the third and proceeded to take their first lead of the game just 2:58 later. NMU also got goals from Andrew Contois and Kevin Gardner at 12:51 and 15:52 to build what appeared to be a comfortable 6-3 lead.
Cam Ellsworth picked up the win in the MTU net with 25 stops, while Kowalski had 43 saves in the loss for NMU.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 and Tab 3 8.0 could be announced this week
Samsung's next-generation Galaxy Tabs might be officially unveiled sooner than expected.
According tot Greek website Techblog, the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 and Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 could be announced in the next few days. Reportedly, the 3G versions of both tablets are expected to go on sale starting May. The LTE editions should be out in June or July.
It looks like the only differences between the new Tabs are in the size, weight, and battery departments. The Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 measures 256.7 x 175.3 x 8.7 mm, weighs 533 grams, and has a 7,000 mAh battery. The Tab 3 8.0 comes with a 4,500 mAh battery, weighing 330 grams, and measuring 209.6 x 112.1 x 6.95 mm (that's thin!). The rest of their features are common, including: Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, 1280 x 800 pixel screen, 1.5GHz dual-core CPU, 3MP rear camera, 1.3MP front-facing camera, and MicroSD card support.
Techblog has an image that supposedly shows one of the new Tab 3 models, but it's not clear if it's the 10.1 inch, or the 8 inch one. In any case, it's white, resembling the recently launched Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0.
As for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Plus (which should sport a 10 inch display with 2560 x 1600 pixels), it looks like this won't be announced too soon – we've heard it will happen in September at IFA 2013, when the 5.9 inch Galaxy Note III is also expected to make its official debut.

'Nonviolent' Arabs and Leftists Break Soldier's Leg
Arabs and their collaborators hurled rocks at the soldier. Other soldiers opened fire, hurting two of them.
By Gil Ronen

Flash 90
Arabs and leftists hurled rocks at IDF soldiers in southern Samaria Wednesday, breaking the leg of one of the soldiers. They continued to pummel him with rocks after he fell to the ground.
Other soldiers came to their friend's rescue and began firing in the air. The Arabs did not heed their calls to stop the attack and the soldiers proceeded to fire at the Arabs, wounding one of them moderately and another lightly.
The soldier whose leg was broken was evacuated and received first aid.
The incident took place at Deir Kadis, northwest of Beit El.
Ever since the Nakba Day and Naksa Day disturbances, there is ongoing rioting by Arabs and their Israel-hating collaborators throughout Judea and Samaria.

The doors to Tellus Science Museum will be unlocked on Saturday evening as arriving guests enter the hallowed halls and lay witness to an incredible night at the museum.
Five years after rising from a small town geological center, Tellus Science Museum in metro Atlanta has matured into a major scientific museum and space flight center. The museum continues to grow as it showcases the sciences of geology, astronomy, prehistoric artifacts, space and aviation in it's exhibit halls.
Tellus draws large crowds during several events each year with visits by leaders in the science community and astronauts; a rock and mineral show; and the hugely popular Night at the Museum evening based in part on the successful movie franchise.
This year's Night at the Museum VI will come alive on August 9, featuring legendary characters from both science fiction and science fact as Tellus opens its doors after hours to it's members and guests.
"This is one of the most unique evenings at Tellus," said Tellus Science Museum Executive Director Jose Santamaria on Wednesday. "Visitors get to interact with actors portraying real scientists and science fiction characters. It's going to be quite a night!"
Characters from Star Wars, Doctor Who and The Hunger Games, to name a few, will roam the exhibit halls with historical figures such as Marie Curie, Albert Einstein and the Wright Brothers from the science community to create a fun evening of entertainment. A few of the new characters arriving this year include Captain America, Indiana Jones and Fred Flintstone.
"This is our sixth year bringing Night at the Museum to Tellus and the event just gets bigger every year," explained Shelly Redd, Tellus' Director of Marketing, as she reviewed the evening's line up. "We were really close to a sell-out last year and sales this year are on par for the same or better."
Science with a comedic spin will also play out as The Tellus Madd Scientists provide a dose of education as they demonstrate science experiments with flare in the main theater. Shows start every twenty minutes beginning at 6:30 p.m.
The museum will also host a children's costume contest unlike any other in which the votes will be cast from around the globe via social media. "We are encouraging children 12 and under to come in costume and participate in an Instagram photo contest," Redd said. "The winner will receive a $50 gift card to the Tellus store."
Redd added that children in costume can enter the contest by uploading their own Instagram photo taken at the museum. The photo should then be posted to a users account using the hashtags #NATM and #TellusMuseum.
The event is scheduled to begin at 6:00 p.m. and will conclude at 10:00 p.m. Ticket prices are $10.00 for Tellus members and $20.00 for non-members, and are on sale now and Reed recommends to preorder your tickets over the phone to avoid the lines at the ticket desk Saturday evening.
Museum officials stated that over the phone ticket purchases will end on Friday at 5:00 p.m. To purchase tickets, call Tellus at 770-606-5700.
The 120,000 square-foot museum has been known for it's rare fossils, dinosaur recreations and astronomical observatory. And today, Tellus works with the Smithsonian Institution to procure both short and long term science exhibits, including a large moon rock and a space-flown parts from the space shuttle.
Located northwest of Atlanta off of exit 293 and I-75 in Cartersville, the museum is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and is closed on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, New Years Day and July 4th.
Redd notes, "Our actors are as excited about the event as our guests are, as they are really passionate about promoting science in such a fun and unique way."
Saturday's event will also coincide with this year's third installment of the Night at the Museum movie series, Secret of the Tomb, due in theaters December 19.

This Examiner interviewed a Witch who casts love spells regularly at her Witch shop in Salem MA. Here, she talks about what one needs in one's life before casting a love spell, some different methods she uses, and her Valentine's Day special offer coming up this weekend. Her name is Lorelei Stathopoulos HPs, Salem's Famous Love Clairvoyant, and she owns Crow Haven Corner.
Sometimes Lorelei will refuse to perform a love spell for a client whom she deems not ready. She says that first, the client needs to have both self-love and passion already in their life. If a client is unable to love themselves, she will gladly help them do so, but she won't cast a spell to draw another person to them. She also says it is wise to already have some type of passion, "whether it's dancing, animals, whatever."
Once Lorelei feels sure that a client is ready for a love spell, she gets to work. There are several methods she uses. Two that she shared with this Examiner are the apple spell and one using a red candle. The apple spell is best done on the New Moon, and involves a special chant that Lorelei did not share. The candle spell consists of sprinkling dragon's blood over a red candle, and is useful for loves that begin with a feeling of lust. She also gives some tips on mixing love potions: "Mix things with love, just the way you would in a kitchen. Do the circle; do the sacred space. None of it makes a difference if don't put the intention in the potion."
Lorelei casts love spells during readings, done at Crow Haven Corner in Salem MA or over the phone. Each client leaves with a mojo bag. This Friday February 14, Saturday, and Sunday she is offering apple spells to those ready for them as a Valentine's Day special, despite it not being a New Moon.

Aren't We Already Enlightened? Filmed 08/09/08 at a HYS Satsang, Santa Rosa, CA.
Satsang Question "Aren't we are already self realized? Don't we just need a paraidgn shift? Is there is no need to practice or to seek because we already are enlightened?"
Answer: We are all that Divine Flame, but encased in the lamp glass of the mind. Everyone is enlightened but the degree to which we realize and express this enlightenment is the degree to which the soot covering the lamp glass of the mind is clear. That mind is a ceaseless flow of karma, the mindstuff, the karma has to be worked out for that individual divinity to realize the Cosmic Divinity, Enlightenment requires that the curtain of the mind must be melted. That is best done by practicing Kriya Yoga.

Pregnant Megan Gale as Elvis Presley's wife Priscilla, as her baby bump grows
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- February 02, 2014
MODEL Megan Gale has shared more photos of her baby bump while in a bikini after she transformed into Priscilla Presley for a photoshoot.
Gale, 38, posted photos from a shoot she recently did where she posed for fashion magazine Madison of herself as Priscilla, which barely showed she was pregnant at all.
Her caption for this photo was: "LOVED this shoot and playing Priscilla Presley for the day".
Another black-and-white photo features Gale in an Alex Perry dress, with an image of a young Elvis singing into a microphone.
Her caption under that photo was: "Playing dress ups as Priscilla wearing a gorgeous custom made @alexperry007 dress."
Her most recent photos on Instagram also show her beautiful baby bump when she went swimming yesterday.
In both pictures, she is photographed next to her dog called Bosco.
Just this week, Gale proudly walked the red carpet and showed off her baby bump at the launch of Autumn/Winter collections for David Jones.
Gale and her partner, AFL player Shaun Hampson are expecting their first child this year.
She was recently rushed to hospital for an emergency scan after being rammed in a car accident in Melbourne.
Gale was rear-ended and flung into another car in front of her vehicle earlier this month.
With her car unfit to drive, Gale took a cab to her obstetrician for an emergency scan.

Close your eyes and forget the rain
Dream about the sun and heat
a sunny summer day
Dream of waves who sigh
so quiet on the beach
Swimming naked with the one you love
The dream of happiness
is more than the dream
A dream about strawberries with cream on
Do not forget the roses and violets
that smells so good
Running barefoot in the freshly cut grass
Close your eyes and dream your dreams
Daydreaming as sweet and good
they are secret, I will not share them with anyone
Imagine if life was a dream .....
A wonderful dream
and the world was full of love
and intimacy between all the people on earth
My dreams are made of
hope, faith and love

Dressing the ancient stars amid their anthem weddings attire....
The universe anxiously anticipating these adorned galaxies of, anew ~
Bookplate bridesmaids, with such glittering eyes and broadening smiles
Quickly making their jubilant ways down, the amendable aisles
With a world beholding as, the best of man....
Hearkening hearts rejoicing so, very deeply inside; paradise
Standing at the altar aside, the most beautiful of glorious grooms ~
Wearing heavens luminous harvest moon colours; commencing halos
Visages, as a sparkling fireworks display afore the joys of an innocent, awestruck child....
Immaculate and pristine; these most mesmerizing of scenes
Cygnus, gathered here to unite this day, paladin unto the morn ~
Extenuatings pragmatic veil; crimsons silkened tides now torn
From, the final pages of such history and lore; a candid, jewel leavened door....
Prismatics band; lifting these velvet promises of an everlasting rainbows, I do ~
Sidereals notes of well-nigh chime; sweet music across the blue made skies
Church bells, reaching unto the furthest realms this, celebrations invitation
Come one come all; come as you were come as you are; the brightest star
Making their way through the constellations; jubilee, and all of creation ~
Coterie, disembarking at the depot from a waking moment; neverendings, final destination!?

Leaning against the ropes, eyes swollen half closed
Its been a long fight....
Blood dripping from a dislocated jaw
Body beaten and bruised; taking a few more blows
Crowd screaming; colourful figures; cloudy sight?!
Knocked down a few times but, not counted out yet
Not yet; still standing to catch a second wind.... ~
My foe is fierce and relentless, the best in the world
This worlds, undisputed heavyweight champ
At least over most of Humanity; never lost a fight to the faithless!?
Been the prince of his ring for thousands of years....
Almost had them carry me out; flat upon my back, in the early rounds
Until the undefeated "One," showed up and volunteered to become
"My Corner ^Man." ~
Been doing somewhat fair since yet, still, a tad bit fuzzy in my head....
Absorbing blows amid a fight like this but, I Am, still standing
And I get my punches in also; sometimes, I even win a round or two?!
My corner Man said; "The Real Champ." ~
"Just wait for the right time, he'll open up, and when he does
Then, put him on his back; hit him with a left and a quick right
Another left another right and then, use your cut....
....I promise you, I shall gladly count him out, for you ~
Just hang on, we've got him, right, where, we want him!?"
...."The Title ^Fight"....

Blackberry kisses, within the celestial starlit mornings hour....
Stirring these passions aglow, amid the flickering flames of desire ~
Caressing such thoughts of you; smouldering embers, that burnish so very brightly!
These ardent heated emotions; florids, of the blue oranges rising ~
Crossing the boundaries of a tomorrows promise....
Once thought to be but only, a forbiddens dream?!
As I now feel your ivory breast, pressing softly to my burning heart
Beating, beneath the magic of your silkened strawberry lips; moist ~
Burying this arrow of our light, gently, inside of thee....
To gather your cries, as you reach for the sky
And arch as a bow, your life; pouring its pleasures
Upon this world of my own, soul!
Tasting now your glistening sweetened nectars; ripe
While twirling unto the delight, of such joyous and piercing prose....
These mounds of vanillas creams, melting, their flavours into me
Entangled, within this fairy tales maze, of your alluring eyes ~
Which consume my very being, with the breath, of your beautiful gaze!
Intensely dissolving these walls once built; like painted clay, inside of a broken kiln....
This barrier now breached, by your majestically perfect smile ~
To become but a flowing river once more, of glittering and sparkling currents
Beneath your rainbows colours, of everything, that was forever meant to be!?
This tenderness of your touch, as soft as a whitened doves; smooth and subtle....
Quenching my deepest thirst; as you engrave your longing nails
Of rosebud scarlet, into the cores of my no longer bleeding, searching heart!
Dripping with its desires for you; pulsing and exploding, inside....
Mesmerized, by your presence; and cast, upon the shores of your love ~
As the candle light glows, afore these shadows that dance; their enchanting trance
And the silhouettes sway, beneath their yellowish moon....
Aflame, amid your igniting embrace; while you stroke these fires, that burn
Yearn, for only you and you alone; your light, and your touch ~
The very essence which breathes this life, your life, profoundly, inside of me!
Within these blackberry kisses; dreams, of a tomorrows horizon
Now thriving, atop the crystals waters, of this sea of love....
Pounding; throbbing; penetrating; tingling; the warmth of your breast, pressed
Eternity, upon the tip of my tongue; your sugar laced taste ~
.."?Your Beauty!"..
Clouds burst their rainbows amid the night....
Cascading showers in loves colourful lights
Glitter became the stars which filled the sky
Inside my heart and afore my eyes ~
Into my soul did they come to rest
Atop palettes of dreams; their dreams bequest....
What you knew and what I thought
Who I am and whom your not
As time it tears this page so fair
Confetti streams, tis where I'll find you there....
...."Fairytales and Love" *
I never knew following dreams could be this lonely,
But up on the hill, looking back, thank God I'm not the old me.
If the tears will fall, let them be;
I believe this is God's plan, follow your dreams.

For God so loved this sinful world, He gave us all His son;
That we might live with Him one day, when life on Earth is done.
No greater love was ever known, no greater gift bestowed,
And for the love He sacrificed, no greater debt's been owed.
The time was short for Jesus Christ, but what He gave mankind
To lift our hearts and save our souls has yet to be refined.
The grace and style in which He moved through politics and fools,
Has paved the way for paths we trod through worldly ways and rules.
His teachings spread throughout the land, His miracles renowned,
He only had to touch a life to show His love was sound.
Two thousand years have come and gone since Christ communed with man;
And with his dying saved us all, to serve God's ancient plan.
He rose from death, as He had said, and proved His word was true,
That life eternal waited those who choose to suffer through.
Salvation came that fateful day, the Bible tells us so;
And time has shown that through God's love the weakest spirits grow.
Now, modern times are hard on us and cause us all to doubt,
For change is there at every turn, and Satan's always out.
It's now we need the love of God, for always, as before;
Just lift your heart and ask for it, and see what lays in store.
It's through God's love we handle change and how it makes us strong
In ways we deal with worldly things and sort the right from wrong.
For change is just another way the Lord sees fit to use
To make our days seem fresh and new with paths to take and choose.
It's by our faith we live our lives and seek a brighter day,
And how we find the confidence when doubts get in the way.
But most of all it's happiness that faith's been known to give
When our misfortunes come to cloud these modern times we live.
We need not fear what God has wrought. We need not know His plan.
We only need to know He's there, and love's in store for man.
Just think the words you'd ask in prayer, and ere a sound be heard,
His perfect love will fill your heart before you've breathed a word.
No greater love was ever known, no greater gift bestowed,
And for the love He sacrificed, no greater debt's been owed.
But God forgave our debt to Him, we live in grace today;
The greatest love you've ever known is just a breath away.

"Simon, I have something to say unto you. There was a certain creditor
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Whom had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
And when they had nothing with which to pay he freely forgave them both.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Tell Me, therefore, which of them shall love him more?"
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Simon answered and said, "I suppose the one whom he forgave more."
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
He said to him, "You have rightly judged." He then turned to the woman and
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house, you gave Me
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
No water for My feet, but she has washed my feet with her tears and wiped them
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
With the hair of her head. You gave me no kiss, but this precious woman
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Has not ceased to kiss My feet since I came in. You did not anoint My head
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
With oil, but this priceless woman has anointed my feet with fragrant oil.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Therefore I say unto you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
She loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little."
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
And He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven...Your faith has saved you.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Go in peace." ~ "A Cinderella Story" ~

I watch this world pass by,
miracle after miracle,
overcome with thoughts
of life and death -
heated in a buttery sky;
the air melts into far corners,
farther than my eyes can see.
Faster, this world spins into
eternity, faith, and possibilities.
An open window becomes a gate
to step through, a starting place -
as a bluebird dips in the birdbath,
squirrels scurry across green grass,
a blue horizon darkens like a memory.
Those who hurriedly pass by feign contentment
with plastic smiles, earbuds, cell phones,
a false sense of purpose.
I feel content, at peace, and yet, I ache for more -
a yearning from deep within.
I feel it wash over my skin.
Cars drive by, everyone's going somewhere,
but not I. I sit here…I watch.
I whisper a short prayer for a friend,
I remain silent with His answer –
patience…all will work out in time;
head bowed, I pray for His healing hands
to touch me. In my father's arms,
I am comforted and whole.
I am who He sees…
sunlight traces storm clouds
painting rainbows over shadowed trees,
a beautiful canopy.
His love flows through me,
pouring out at Calvary.
In the afternoon rain,
I see each drop of blood.
A choir of clouds congregate.
I hear their worship song.
I see a crown of thorns around them.
I feel the weight of the cross
He struggles to carry.
Mangos fall with the rain
from a shaken tree,
then lay bruised on limp, wet leaves;
flies begin to swarm around them;
following the clouds trajectory,
I envision more than I can bear -
His slashed skin and mangled bones
flash before my eyes.
With hands nailed, He's hung
on the cross in shame and suffering;
every labored breath taken
until death for an ungrateful world…
my soul seems to understand
what I cannot grasp…all of this,
He did for me….and you.
Love becomes more than a word,
a blessing becomes more than a concept.
I sit at my window unnoticed;
I watch the world pass by -
every leaf, pebble, bird, raindrop
and new life, I see,
like a child with a loving father,
a miracle…

One more morning,after one more night,
One more thanks for keeping things right,
One prayer to bed,one as you rise,
Good morning God,thanks for another sun rise,
Prayer is the fuel that keep us going,
Through troubled times,pray for strength keep rowing,
And without fear step out,face the unknowing,
Although all around negativity blowing,
Every day,even one positive seed,try sowing,
Within my veins,God love is flowing,
God is my friend,the devil,not interested to know him,
Here comes the garbage truck,over there throw him,
Don't just say you love God,pray show Him,
Remember prayer keeps us,spiritual growing...

am a
of hope
and love
where I
one piece of string
wrapped with wax
made all by hand
a beacon - of light
slender and white
burning so brightly
in a window tonight
there in the stillness
whispering a prayer
into the midnight air
In a flickering flame
spelling your name
until I find you again
there in the darkness
on a bloody battlefield
lying in the frozen rain
wounded crying in pain
and in a flickering flame
again I spell your name
A spark of recognition
ignites your lonely eyes
as you reach out to me
Your hope and your love
your light and your wife
here to comfort you tonight
Copyright © Elaine George | Year Posted 2009
Oh so far I feel to find you
Oh so near I cannot bind you;
You so wise my plea goes heedless
You so dear my plea was needless.
In each human heart you shine
For all that's good is now devine;
Each act of love brings transformation
With thoughts and words of consolation.
Breath of life, you are the centre
In that point of time we enter;
A love that gives the glow of gladness
Brings relief to comfort sadness.
All we cherish, always flowing
Passes time beyond our knowing;
Trials to test our trust and love
Lead us to new paths above.
Creation lives in love inspired
Creator lives in all desired;
Painter of the cosmic spaces
Life you give to earthly places.
Though all humanity may claim you
There's none so wise that can name you
Human mouths be mute before you
Silence only can adore you.

If I cry
It must be the memory
Of a skirt unlifted by a gust
To still a boy's misery
And wipe my eyes dry
Of tears
For the way time sears
Us like flowers
And reaped my mother
Before I was ready to let her go.
If I cry
I cry for days she sheltered me
From a child's web of fallacy
And put her spittle on my knee
Where bruised flesh
Was a boy's view of tragedy.
I would press my face
Against her dress
And feared no goliath
Or loneliness.
If I cry
I cry for evenings on the porch
When she gathered us
Our feet white with blowing dust
And hunger like a miner
Drilling us
We had so little to eat some days
But she with prayers picked fruits
Of heaven's mercy
And we thankful ate together
And heard her ancient anecdotes
Of ancestors' exploits that floats
Still upon a manhood sky.
If I cry
I cry that mothers' days are meaningless
When the sight of flowers
Are frail veils upon a grave
And the customized Christmas cards
Will not sparkle her eyes
Just before the kiss upon my cheek
Honoring me for faithfulness
And knowing her love measures more
More than a day
More than the years that sums earth's decay.
If I cry
I cry for the love of my mother
For the woman and life giver
For God to bring
Order to this unruly thing
That spoons our purpose to a cup
Swallow us
Before the dusk with each sup
Of time, diminishing us
I cry for faith to hold my trust
Against the agony of loss
Death is a demonic disgust
That makes me long
To substitute all tears for angels song.
If I cry
Preserved my hope with brine of eye
To live again
Without death or pain
And run with my mother
Through the clapping ovation of summer rain.

Seraphic, turbid waves in turgid waters; turning
Amid my spindrift Soul wherein loves tumult rages....
Crashing through this pulsing heart that knowingly craves her ~
Aneath these turquoise tides, which tear burnt pages?!
Washed upon the shore to feed the pyramids pyre
Torn from destined books carving ancient time....
Spirits chanting dreams while dancing in the fire
Captured by the flames of oranges burning; loves sublime ~
Sunrise, now gathering blue horizons to kiss the wrested nights
Waning heavens waving a million reflections left, glittering deep inside....
Astringent embers touching tranquility while as floating through the rougish sky
Seraphic, turbid waves in turgid waters still, only to subside!?
Torn from destined books carving ancient time; this
My own Aphrodite....
...."My, Beautiful *Star Light" ~
The Luckiest Man
I have found that not everyone is as strong
As the skies are wide and the days are long
But in life I have found there is this one
Whose bounty makes me feel as warm as the sun
And from the moment that she first caught my eye
I knew I'd be with her til' the day that I die
That I would love and cherish her all the day through
And do all those little things we men are supposed to do
And spend my days lost in utter bliss
That I had this beautiful woman to kiss
And there's one true fact 'bout her being my girl
That makes me the luckiest man in the world

You are the temple, I worship within,
living prayers of merging love and lust,
breath writes holy scriptures upon our skin.
You are the temple, I worship within,
a sacred place for me to enter in,
my priesthood's vows renewed by ev'ry thrust.
You are the temple, I worship within,
living prayers of merging love and lust.

Tell me that this fear is just paranoia in my mind,
we're not straining, we're not struggling,
we're not sinking, we're just fine.
I'm not perfect my dearest, but damn have I tried,
and I'll try harder but I know I'll have the same results every time.
Do you want me all the ways that I am?
With all the struggles and the tears and the clinging to your hand.
I fear your getting further and Im left on the shore to stand,
watching you in the distance with a bullet in my hand.
Tell me all this worry, its just clutter in my mind,
tell me not to worry that we're doing just fine.
Cause Im scared to run you off and I feel Im falling deep.
And Im so frightened of these thoughts that its getting hard to sleep.
All I know is that the heart wants what it desires,
because of you the match inside has turned into a fire.
And I feel the broken glass thats sticking from my skin,
Wondering if you'll remove the pain or push it back in.
My hearts frantic wondering if you feel the same,
pleading and begging for more than just a saying,
but to feel and to see that im not alone,
with being in this love thats overwhelming.
Once I told you that we didnt have a spark,
but you were lighting up and I was sitting in the dark.
And this fire, this blaze its wrapped in desire.
Im terrified to lose you, I think I might die or,
maybe disappear from all the pieces falling out,
im going crazy but when i open my mouth, nothing comes out,
and I cant explain to you why I just need to hold you close,
why every time you leave Im scared to let you go,
why these tears are building up behind my eyes,
all I know is that the heart wants what it desires
and it desires to be your wife.
So tell me in my panic, that your words are true,
tell my my dearest what I mean to you,
tell me that this paranoia is all within my mind
we're not struggling, we're not sinking tell me we're just fine

For too long had she been the scapegoat,
blamed for the fall of our own undoing.
For too long
had she been shyly shining
with self-conscious doubt,
cursed by the lies of man,
when all along, it was man's own vanity
reflected in her eyes.
He feared the light inside of her,
so, he masked her name with the title of darkness,
causing her to hide within a seashell,
only offering momentary glimpses
of sacred Illumination....
....and even then, men stumbled around,
choosing wrong paths along forked roots and tongues.
We halved apples,
offered them to her in return,
Pentacles glistening under her benevolent radiance.
Biting into a halved apple,
seeds fell back down to earth,
fell into moistened midnight soil.
And when the seeds sprouted,
the curse broke under the strain
of growth and oxygen.
Oh, how she glows again,
arms and legs outstretched,
alternating 5 and 7 points of light,
a new ray pushing forth from her crown,
another pulsating from between her thighs.
If Botticelli could see his Venus now,
he'd forgive the sins of hue.manity,
and willingly succumb to another death
in hopes of being reborn
under her enlightenment once more.
The imposters have weakened,
tripping over their own self-induced shadows.
The imposters have become too frail
to shroud her light within false titles of darkness -
the darkness is their very own.
We witness the garden's regrowth.
Lucem Ferre has agreed to protect us
from being cast out of the garden
(as she always has),
and in return, we will promise
to only call her by her sacred name,
to never again invoke shackles of deceit
upon her, balancing the scales
by admiring Pentacles glisten
under benevolent radiance.

A place in the sun, it's there I want to run. . .
Orange and yellow palette brush my face,
they dry my wells of fears and so I won,
I-- slowly flower from God's skirt of grace.
Unfailing is His love shown sweet to His face,
I eagerly crave to behold in million tons
as to entwine in His warmth: My Master race.
A place in the sun, it's there I want to run. . .
Rainbow peeping after some raging storm spun;
His reminder that we: His people must chase
infant days to grow better with our love ones.
Orange and yellow palette brush my face
for God so kind. My pains, He soothes and erase.
Tender are His words as I read them one by one
helping me be fearless yet humble with my pace.
They dry my wells of fears and so I won--
then my heart soar high, I have some fun.
Evil always haunts but with Him, all I can evade,
hence, troubles are little but close to none.
I slowly flower from God's skirt of grace. . .
God crashes darkness with love not by gun.
Must we go elsewhere when He is the best hiding place?
God is everything before even life began
God our undefeatable fortress-- His base
a place in the sun.

After planking some wood,
I carried it across the yard,
two boards at a time upon my shoulders.
When I finished erecting the stack of wood,
she offered a refreshing sip from her cup
and nailed me harder than Jesus had been.
(the irony of the wood and nails didn't escape me)
I figure this to be a great tradition to uphold
during the Easter holidays:
the wood and nails,
the resurr.erection,
riding a divine ascension into heaven
upon her thighs.
And on the third day
he rose again
and again.
*This is referring to the hybridization of Easter as decreed by Constantine,
and the pre-existing Ishtar celebration of sex and fertility.
Ishtar is the root-origin of the word: Easter.
If you were to ask me, I'd say that Constantine attempted ruining a good thing.
It is one of my many life goals to help resurrect feel-good Pagan celebrations such
as the Ishtar Spring Festivities.
If one has a willing lover, this celebration is easy to partake in,
and can be most pleasurable: simply plank some wood and start nailing.
A sustained rhythm is highly advisable when engaging in a good session of nailing.
Happy Ishtar/Easter Holy Days!
There are times we are left to cope
With situations that drain our hope
Leaving us full of despair
At how some people just don't care
About the evil that they do
To good people like all of you
We are left to somehow face
That in mankind there is disgrace
And those of us left alive
Must find away to survive
As you pick up the pieces of your life
Without your mother, father, husband or wife
And some of you God forbid
Without the love of your kids
We must band together with a brotherhood
Show that in this world there is some good
Because we are together in this deal
We try to help each other heal
We seek in each other good advice
And offer each other sacrifice
We hold each other in prayer and song
As we continue to re-build the wrong
Because what else in the world can we do
Except let the light of good shine through
The evil darkness and despair
Of a catastrophic lack of care
We want you to know you are not alone
Think of America as a giant cone
And all of us are funneling through
Our prayers and hopes to all of you

You made the mistake and now,
your afraid to face this day.
Your thoughts are racing through
and through.
You wonder if your family looks at
you as a disgrace, but you'er mother
takes you and reasures, your very
much loved in grace.
Even though your much to young
for this breathing little thing this
has become.
You couldn't just throw it out
like it was a peice of trash.
So you grow up and take the
path that led you to your best
mistake for years to come.

Listen, my fellow dreamers,
But listen with your heart,
And hear the silent music
Of which we're all a part.
Cover your ears, my dreamers
Lest the worldly tunes drown out
The inner magic symphonies
Of what life's all about.
Listen, listen, listen,
And hear the song of Love;
It's echoing within you,
Outside, beneath, above.
It's playing in the meadow
And in the city street;
Resounding in your friendships
And the stranger that you meet.
Listen, listen, listen,
To the symphony of Hope;
Its crescendo's growing louder
To help you grasp and cope.
It's drowning out the concert
Of trouble and of strife;
Just close your ears and listen
To this melody of life.
Listen, listen, listen,
To Faith's unending song;
There's magic in its music
To make and keep you strong.
Feel the mighty power,
It's flowing through your soul;
Its tune will conquer mountains
And fulfill your every goal.
Listen, listen, listen,
But listen with your heart,
And hear the silent music
Of which we're all a part.

Does the past really matter?
Does it set you free?
I'm absorbed in the sin,
That is surrounding him and me.
Lost in the curiosity,
Cold to the touch.
Drenched in the poison,
With my dignity in his clutch.
Feeling like I was cheated;
I chose the evil instead of light.
I traded in the sunshine,
For what lurks in the night.
I disobeyed his orders,
I gave up security to be unsure.
I went against the warnings,
Gave into darkness instead of remaining pure.
Once my bed was made of soft grass,
But now it is made of stone.
Was plump from all of the luscious fruit,
Now I'm starving to the bone.
My curse is one of circumstance.
The punishment a crime,
I'm stuck inside this dampened cave,
For the rest of time.
My world came crashing down,
The grief has not subsided.
My heart broke completely,
When my sons collided.
My misery a token,
From the abandonment I earned.
Upon the time spent in sorrow,
There was a lesson to be learned.
Have I found the moral?
Only in time we shall see,
For all I did was eat an apple-
From the Knowledge tree.

Whenever the road is long and hard
And you wish that your burdens were light,
Remember to have FAITH there by your side.
With courage it will act as your might.
Whenever the sun seems lost from view
And ahead a long,long night,
Remember the HOPE lying deep in your heart.
It will help to reveal the light.
Whenever the darkness embodies your fears
That you tremble at what lays in sight,
Remember the LOVE that holds you dear,
That will guard till the morning bright.....
We are all travellers along life's road
At times it seems only darkness in sight.
So as you journey go with FAITH and HOPE.
And let LOVE lead with its'kindly light.

They met at first around sixteen,while they were in their teens.
A young man tall and handsome, a girl with many dreams.
Years later they did meet again this time he was smitten.
It took some time to hook this girl, eventually their history written.
He had a plan to marry her and move her from her home.
She'd have to leave her roots, the only thing she'd known.
Leave her home and family was what she had to do,
The love they shared was eternal even though it 'twas brand new.
This love they shared was a gift,their faith was also strong
They both loved many similar things like fishing, books and song.
Seven children blessed their lives, they started their own tree
So strong this love they shared, became one large family.
Both worked hard to raise them, devoted to each one,
They shared their love equally to each daughter and each son.
Education and faith were important, practiced with daily prayer
They fed and clothed this family with love and tremendous care
Each child was very different and different paths they took.
Educators, artists, builders, Lawyers and even cooks.
Each child found their partners, some added children to each branch.
All love music, all loved to read, a few even like to dance.
Their children had more children and the two were greatly blessed,
With lovely grandchildren with many traits that both these two possessed
What remained from the love they shared twas passed down through the line
A love this strong must be shared and it surpassed all time
Four generations have now developed from these two whose love began
So many years before when both had shared a plan.
Each twig shares a piece and resembles one or the other
For this love story that's been described was about a Father and Mother
I'd love to say they share a life together here today
But God had different plans in mind, for one he took away
The void he left was devastating to everyone you see
Hardest on the one for which he shared atop the tree
The plan these two created at the time they were entwined
Continues on by one so strong , who giveth all of her time
To the tree these two created which grows branches to this day
The love created by these two shall never go

Dear Lord Jesus, this gift of love you give to me
More precious than the breath I breathe
Flows endless as the mighty seas
Bringing countless blessings in times of need
To know that you live inside of me
May I reflect your light on all I see
I feel you always in the rising sun
And I smile through tears when rain clouds come undone!
Amazed, I watch as lightning bolts zip 'cross darkened skies
And marvel as thunder rumbles through pillars of clouds
Be it day or night constantly by my side
I'm in awe of your love; forever my guide
You gave your life for me; set me free!
Though undeserving, you pour down your loving grace
Upon mankind irrespective of belief
And call to each, 'come taste and see what it means to be free'!
When my days are done and your light I return
May it be as brilliant as when you placed it in me
Let me not return empty keeping it to myself
I pray that I give freely to light another's path

The warrior lays her weary head,
With heavy heart she cannot bear,
Burning tears stream down her face,
As whispered memories touch the ear.
Her armour tarnished by remorse,
Her battle-cry a wimpered row,
Her wounds, of which bleed solitude,
Will never know forgiveness now.
The song began two score ago,
When two came knocking at her door,
In need of refuge from the world,
Of that, and love, and little more.
Forced to fight for every smile,
Her only solace found in song,
She longed for love to rescue her,
And plant her where she could belong.
Jealous tongues are seldom kind,
Self-seeking hearts know nought of love,
The caged canary only sings,
When coaxed to praise from up above.
For the steely spine that now I own,
Forever shall I grateful be,
A gift from her, and from her own.
Courage mounted inwardly.
I'll not forget how I have loved thee,
And youthful memories I will prize,
Til on the shore of His forgiveness,
Whereto now, we both shall rise.

A funny thing happened to Republican Gov. John Kasich and his GOP allies on their way to a national tour de force: They were body- checked by the labor unions and their Democratic Party allies.
The rejection Tuesday by Ohio voters of State Issue 2/Senate Bill 5 is a political defeat for the Republicans of monumental consequence.
By preventing the collective-bargaining reform law from taking effect, Ohioans have delivered a stern message to the governor and the GOP-controlled General Assembly: The November 2010 general election, in which your party swept all the statewide offices, was not an invitation to go forth and be as politically venal as you desire.
The defeat of State Issue 2, a referendum on the law that would have stripped Ohio's 300,000-plus public employees of many of the workplace rights they've enjoyed for almost three decades, also has national implications. Had Kasich and his allies succeeded at the ballot box, they would have become a major topic in national discussion of the 2012 presidential election. The candidates for the Republican nomination for president would have been making a beeline for Ohio to court the governor and the leadership in the House and Senate.
Now, however, the GOP must contemplate the fallout from Tuesday's election.
Kasich and the Republicans have awoken a sleeping giant, and the national and state Democratic parties are sure to keep fueling the union anger triggered by the collective- bargaining reform law.
In the November 2010 general election, Republicans won not because they had a more compelling message than the Democrats but because many union members and Democratic Party faithful either stayed home or voted the GOP ticket.
Not a mandate
The fact that Kasich defeated Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland by about 97,000 votes of the 3.75 million cast makes it clear that the people of Ohio weren't blown away by his candidacy
The election a year ago was more a referendum on President Barack Obama's handling of the anemic economy than Strickland's four-year tenure. Had voters bought Kasich's contention that Ohio lost hundreds of thousands of jobs because of Strickland's mismanagement, he would have won by a landslide.
The passage of Senate Bill 5 — as Republicans in the General Assembly rode roughshod over the Democrats and the unions — caused a public uprising the Democratic Party had craved since January. Thousands signed petitions to put SB 5 on the ballot.
Now, with the defeat of State Issue 2, the party in power is politically wounded, and the unions and their Democratic allies can be expected to close in for the kill — in 2012.
After the defeat of State Issue Two, you can now spell Ohio - GREECE!
The majority of the voters have decided to share more of their less and less . Let the good times and higher taxes roll . . . ..
Well it seems that the voters have spoken - leave collective bargaining as it is - and vote down every new tax issue because there is no more money coming from Columbus. That ought to thin the ranks of public employees pretty quickly - and unfortunately the best employees may be the ones looking for work. . .oh well. . .
Stan is here and he is got a gun , So look out you over paid workers . By the way Stan the man lives in his mom's basement free. and is on her welfare so I have been told . What say you !!!
Freeatlast the flipperlip is shootin from tha hip . . .. He aint got a clue as what to do and at your heels he will nip . . ..
Are ya savin those empty malt liquor bottles for recycling ? With your rate of consumption the lanfill will be running over and a glass shortage will be upon us . . ..
Next---say goodby to Gov. Ka sick in 3 years
Gov. Kasich and the legislature should use a piecemeal approach and pass legislation every election period and keep forcing the union to use the expensive ballot initiative. This will deplete the union funds. Union members will see their due increase, and less money will be available for the 2012 election. Hit them in their pocketbooks
And life in the valley goes on as usual. So little forward progress while we are deserving of so much more. During a recent trip through 17 states I noticed lots of new highway construction, new buildings going up and a generally positive attitude among the locals. Why is our valley not among those with the progress and attitude?
my work is done here --- jessie, stan unionforever, valleyred, etc, etc, etc,,,,maybe you guys should go out and work everyday instead of sitting around your houses crying about all the people in the world who have something that you don't....you all totally suck, and everybody knows it, and that's why you lost. Remember, I always say, NOBODY LIKES A CRYBABY.

While out at last Sunday's Sandwich Antiques Market, this avid toy hunter happened upon a whole slew of 3-inch plastic cars bearing the mold mark F&F Mold & Die Works, Dayton Ohio on the underside. Further research revealed them to be Post cereal premiums inserted into boxes of Grape-Nuts, Bran Flakes, Fruity Pebbles and other favorites between 1954 and 1967. What makes these cars unique is the fact that each one is based on a particular model and make vehicle, with a heavy emphasis on Ford automobiles.
The business began right after the war in 1945 and continued all the way through 1987. During the entire time all they did was manufacture and market a very narrow niche product: Plastic premiums. There's some question among collectors as to whether a series of 1969 Mercury autos exhibiting very F&F like traits constitute the real deal. Those vehicles are marked JVZ Co.
Debate about pedigree aside, construction of these toys is incredibly simplistic, as the economics of cereal premiums would dictate. They are composed of a single molded body with a pair of solid white wheel/axle sets snapped into slots underneath. But the attention to styling detail is impressive, as you'll see in your Chicago Treasure Hunter's slide show.
The earliest models are the most valuable. These would be Ford sedans and may or might not have a magnet glued to the underside of roof. There are plenty of color variations ranging from the darker green, red and copper to lighter yellow and grey. There are convertibles and even a station wagon in the mix. Odd balls of the lot include Greyhound busses, Tractor Trailers, a Mercury show car and a couple of Plymouths. Collectors differ about how many models exist but the base figure hovers around 50. This doesn't take into consideration the color differences for each mold.
As previously stated all F&F premiums are very easily identified by the company stamping on the underside and also the solid white wheel/axle sets. They're definitely worth digging through buckets of tableside fodder to find.

Soccer Downs DePaul In Double-Overtime Thriller, 2-1
Sept. 15, 2004
Chicago, Ill.- It may have taken some extra time, but the young University of Illinois at Chicago soccer team chalked up its first win of the season in dramatic fashion on Wednesday afternoon, using sophomore Kenneth Nightingale's first collegiate goal in the 108th minute to defeat DePaul in double-overtime, 2-1, at Flames Field.
The Flames (1-5-0) engaged in a tense battle with their crosstown rivals, but the banged-up hosts battled through after losing a lead late in the second period.
"It's your home field, everyone is there, parents, friends, and there's a lot of pressure on these young guys," said UIC Head Coach Sasha Begovic. "They want to win so badly. To win a game at the end like that is good for these kids. I'm very proud."
Freshman Stipan Vedric, who entered the game just moments into the second extra period due to an injury to Derek Kosek, played a loose ball to freshman Pavle Dundjer, who found Nightingale streaking on the left side. Dundjer zoomed a pass between two DePaul defenders and into Nightingale's possession. The sophomore forward then lasered the ball off his left leg and across diving Blue Demon keeper Brian Allen, where it found the back of the net for the golden goal.
UIC scored first in its home opener. Dundjer took a direct free kick from 30 yards out in front of the goal and knocked it in for his first score as a Flame.
The Dundjer goal marked the first lead of the season for UIC.
Backed by a stellar performance by junior goalkeeper Ross Cain, the Flames were on pace for their first shutout of the season, but DePaul (1-4-1) continued to bring the pressure. In the 75th minute, Julian Chille's corner kick found John Kornfeld in almost the same spot where Dundjer converted his goal. Kornfeld rifled the ball high, and it managed to slip just between the fingertips of a leaping Cain and the post to knot the game.
Both teams had opportunities to win late in the second period and throughout the two overtime sessions. A header attempt by Kornfeld in the 67th minute was stopped by Cain, while a shot off a steal by Eric Cervantes, who made his 2004 debut on Wednesday, went wide left in the 82nd minute.
Cain chipped in a clutch seven-save performance, while Allen stopped three shots for DePaul.
The Flames were without starting midfielder Pawel Otachel for most of the game due to a lingering leg injury, while Kosek and Sam Reindl had to leave the game briefly with injuries.
More impressive was the fact that Nightingale, the hero of the game, was playing with a shoulder near separation.
"With lots of injuries, to come out like this and play like that, I'm very happy," said Begovic.
First-year UIC assistant coach Seth Mason, who was happy to get the first win under the belt against a tough DePaul team, was glad to see Nightingale fight through a tough injury and provide a preview of things to come for the Flames offense.
"That is why Kenny is so valuable to the future of this team, because he can finish," said Mason.
Begovic had another hope for the near future.
"I hope we start a new streak," said Begovic.
UIC returns to action this Sunday for the Horizon League opener at Detroit beginning at noon.
