The events of the past few years—financial meltdown of 2008, the failed Copenhagen talks and increasing climate destabilization, the BP oil disaster, and the financial crises in the Eurozone—make it clear that the business-as-usual economy is both wreaking havoc on the planet and failing on its own terms. But so far, the conversation about how to transform this economic model has been stuck in neutral. Traveling around North America discussing my new book, Plenitude, I am increasingly convinced that a key obstacle to moving forward is a lack of confidence that there is another way. To gain that confidence, we need to articulate a model of how a sustainable economy could work.
The core insight of my model is the need to transform how people spend their time. Its first principle is to reverse the increased in time devoted to the market that has occurred in recent decades. (The US, most of the global South and some OECD countries have experienced rising hours.) In the US, annual hours of work rose more than 200 from 1973 to 2006. Longer hours raise the ecological footprint, both because of more production, and because time-stressed households have higher-impact lifestyles. Getting to sustainability will require slowing down the pace of life, which means working less.
Shorter hours are also key to solving the unemployment crisis. In the US, it will require 11 million new jobs to return to pre-crash levels. That breaks down to 500,000 new jobs a month for almost two years. That's an unrealistic number, unless we address hours of work. In comparison to Western European countries, where hours are much shorter, the U.S. has to generate between 6 and 20% more in Gross Domestic Production to create each new job.
The recession has gotten us started down this road. When it began the workweek stood at 34.1 hours, but by April of 2010 it was 33.3. A rising workweek is a strong desiderata of recovery for mainstream economists, but they fail to see that it makes job creation harder, contributes to stress among employees, and exacerbates ecological degradation. Declining hours could re-balance the labor market and free up time for people to engage in low-impact, self-providing activities that reduce their dependence on the market. These include growing food, generating energy, building housing, and making small-scale manufactured goods, such as apparel and household items.
This do-it-yourself activity is highly satisfying for people, because it helps them learn new skills and allows them to be creative. It also turns out to be the catalyst for start-up businesses and second careers as people take their newfound skills and passions and earn money with them. Freeing up time from the formal market is one condition for incubating a green, small business sector. Self-providing is also part of how we can construct more economic interdependence. As people begin to do more self-providing, they barter, trade, and share on a local level. This builds wealth in social capital, which enhances well-being and security.
Finally, the fourth principle of plenitude is that people will consume differently. With more time and less disposable income, they'll shift to buying fewer new products, and prefer goods that are longer lasting and repairable. They'll also participate more in economies of re-sale and exchange. I call that "true materialism," a consumer practice that respects the materiality of the earth.
Perhaps the most important dimension of plenitude, in contrast to the dominant discourse on sustainability, is that it is not a techno-fix. We do need to change the technologies we use, especially in the energy sector. But this model shows us that we can move a long way toward sustainability by focusing on how we spend our time and organize our economic lives. Shifting to slow, small-scale, low impact ways of living and producing can yield dramatic reductions in footprint, even without new technological systems.

server won't start and German Windows? Here's the fix!
Here's a solution for all those with the Problem that the Server try's to start but shut's down after the 10 s AND with a German Windows running!
In the Battlefront Program Folder under ..\DATA\_LVL_PC\Common is a folder ENG.
Rename it to GER (if you've got a german windows)
Same under ..\DATA\_LVL_PC\Shell
After that the Server will start.
Goodddd! it's works for me. Spanish user do the same but changue ENG for SPA
good find. I have added this to the 'troubleshooting' section of the FAQ Sticky
Great job Curl !!
Cya Hawk
Nice find curlinux. News worthy ;)
it is much easier to use the commandline parameter /lang...so if you have a foreign language you can edit the "battlefront server.ini" file and add a /lang ENG at the end of the APP_COMMAND_LINE_BASIC line. For the client this "fix" works too by editing the shortcut.
Much more professional then just renaming ;).
won`t work !!!
Hi.. I did try all ur Tricks for the German Windows, but it wont work on my System !!
the System : AMD Athlon1200 + 512MB RAM + Windows2000 SP4
If i wanna STart the Server, the same Problem is all the time coming again.. I push on "START" and after 3-5sec. it STOPS again & again & again...
it looks like, that i have to install an english Windows2000 !!
that cant be true, or ?

J. Desmond Clark
I first met Professor Desmond Clark
at the Pan African meeting in Addis Ababa, in 1972. He came to congratulate
me. As a young scientist, giving my first talk in an international
audience, I was astonished and strongly encouraged in my research.
This is just an example, a testimony among many, of the constant
support and human concern and care that Desmond had for students,
scientists from different countries and different fields of research.
Such open mind and broad scientific curiosity is the privilege of
a Great Scientist.
Since then, I had many opportunities to see Desmond at different
scientific Congress or gathering, during which I appreciated his
stimulating conversation, and his very pleasant sense of humor.
He was enthusiastic about sharing knowledge and happiness. At different
occasions, I had the honor to be invited to Betty and Desmond's
house. Sharing a dinner or a party in their company was a unique
In the evocation of being fortunate
to work with Desmond, I should recall the time for field work that
I spent at Gadeb prehistoric site, the long evening chats, with
our small group in the Spartan camping site of the Ethiopian Highlands.
It was during Civil War, an insecure situation. Desmond serenity
is legendary. Day after day, he indefatigably worked on the archaeological
excavation. One Sunday, we all climbed Mont Bale up to over 4000
m. He was looking with us at the moorland vegetation, with his elegant
silhouette in the mist. His strain for better knowledge will always
keep us going further.
At the Berkeley Conference in tribute
to his long career, Desmond shared with all the audience his emotion
in memory of Glynn Isaac, a nearest colleague and friend. He was
so sincerely affected by his disappearance and found the appropriate
words to express his kindness.
Today, I join my colleagues and friends in sharing the deep sorrow
of having lost a Famous Archaeologist of real international status,
a Great Wise Man and a unique, friendly Human Figure, that we will
always fondly remember.
Je tiens à exprimer ma profonde
sympathie à Betty, sa femme, compagne attentive de tous les
jours et soutien de sa longue et riche carrière professionnelle.

recherche, CNRS CEREGE, Aix-en- Provence, France

Rudy Guede is the third person convicted of the murder of Meredith Kercher along with Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito.
Guede fled to Germany after the murder for unknown reasons and was subsequently detained by the police. As he awaited extradition to Italy he wrote a letter to his friend to say hello and give thanks. Then he wrote more, a diary, describing the events surrounding Meredith's death. This 'diary' was obtained from perugiamurderfile.org
In the slideshow is the letter he wrote to his friend and former teacher, Paolo Barbini. Rudy was 20-years-old when he wrote this letter. This is what I will be analyzing.
He has a relatively straight baseline which veers downwards on the right hand side. This describes his depressed state of mind as he was sitting in jail at the time of the writing. The circumstances are important to keep in mind in analyzing this particular piece of writing.
However, the steadiness and neatness of his writing in general shows that he was in a calm, objective mindset - not overly upset or emotional. It also indicates that Rudy received a good education (far from some illiterate drifter or homeless person that he has been described as by some.)
His words are evenly spaced apart showing his need to keep his space (literally and figuratively) from others. He doesn't get too chummy too quickly and would rather keep a distance until he knows someone well.
This is contrasted to the letters of each word which are very tightly written together. Letters crammed together in each word shows him feeling restricted, trapped and could indicate a narrow way of thinking.
Along with the small size of the letters, his writing shows that he is introverted and does not seek the limelight (quite the opposite of the other two defendants who have made millions with publicly sharing their stories.) Rudy would rather keep out of the public eye and has done so for some time, mainly because he is in prison. This wouldn't prevent him from giving interviews if he wished but he chooses not to speak to the press.
The slant of his writing is mostly straight up and down, indicating that he is an analytical and independent thinker. Some of his letters slant slightly backwards which indicates that he is more reserved, could be more selfish and cautious. Rudy is someone who values his privacy, keeps his distance from others and can be mistrustful of others.
The relatively large spacing between each line of his writing shows that he likes to be more rational and not emotional in his thinking. The regularity of the spacing between lines show that he is organized and may have executive abilities. He would also have an interest in cultural topics.
However, he may also be a bit out of touch with his own emotions at times, not knowing how to feel about things right away. He showed this tendency when he described finding Meredith bleeding and he hesitated on how to react. He wanted to call the police but decided against it as he knew he would be blamed. Later on, he would be beaten up in jail but drop the charges at the last minute.
His hesitancy to act is reiterated by the mainly rounded shape of his letters with a few angular formed letters dispersed throughout. This shows that his is moderately aggressive, that is only when he has to be. Otherwise he would be tranquil and docile for the most part which would also cause him to miss opportunities or not act when he should.
Notice how large he writes the name "Paolo" in Page 1- Letter to Paolo this shows how much Rudy likes this person. Notice the slight ornamentation of the P's in 'Paolo' and 'Professor' Paolo is a very 'big' person in Rudy's life and someone he has much affection and holds in high esteem.
The Upper Zone is most dominant in his writing but does not become entangled with the writing above it. This shows that his thinking is clear and his thoughts are in order. He is not confused or lacking in drive to express what he knows.
His writing also shows well positioned upper zone and well-placed i's and t's. Karen Amend and Mary Ruiz write in their book Hand Writing Analysis [pg11], "Well-proportioned loops and stems with sensibly placed i-dots and t-bars reveal mental capability and alertness."
The upper zone loops of his h's and l's are well-formed and often are simplified to a stick formation or have no 'lead in stroke.' Expert graphologist Andrea McNichol in her book Handwriting Analysis Putting it to Work for You, writes on pg 166," Cursive writing with few or no lead-in strokes means intelligence, directness, efficiency, and speed. If you think fast, you will write fast, and making stick figures affords you one of the easiest means possible to do this."
There is a consistency or overall regularity to the size of the lettering and zones of his writing. This reflects his maturity, self-awareness and discipline.
Notice he spells Meredith's name correctly even though he barely knew her and English is not his first language. [This diary was written from a German jail cell on November 19, 2007 when the tabloids were only just starting to catch on to this huge story. Patrick Lumumba who had been the focus of the investigation due to Amanda Knox's false accusation, was released the next day, November 20, 2007.]
The almost complete lack of ornamentation (aside from the P's which are very nicely formed) indicates that Rudy is not pretentious or putting on a show. He also has a strong inner core or fortitude.
His o's are carefully closed which indicates that he can keep a secret.
He ends his letter with a very large 'Grazie di tutto' - 'Thank you for everything'. Showing that this was very important for Rudy to express to his friend.
The whole purpose of Rudy's letter was to thank Paolo for everything he had done for him. Again the healthy mind, self-awareness and generosity in Rudy's character shows in the fact that his writing was to show appreciation for someone else and not to merely talk about himself to himself. This is also shown by the dominance of the upper zone vs. the middle zone which is more self-oriented.
Rudy wrote to his dearest friend at a time when his life was spiraling out of control. He had just been part of a gruesome murder and knew that life as he knew it was over. This was a moment of death of his previous life or crisis for Rudy. This is shown by his signature which Rudy crossed out. He hated himself at this time. It also appears that he crosses out 'Guede' but underlines Rudy Thomas which indicates that he would much prefer to be addressed as 'Rudy' and not 'Mr. Guede'.
Rudy seems to have great affection for the number '8' written three times at the end of his letter. Rudy explains this earlier in the letter when he expressed that he had wanted to be this number like Paolo's son who was a talented soccer player with the number 8.
The length of his letter and the somewhat quick pace of writing, shows that Rudy is very comfortable and expresses himself easily in writing . . . quite possible that he may come out with his own book one day. If he does, it will be more objective than subjective as his writing is less self-centered and more aware of the bigger picture.

Let $X$, $Y$ and $Z$ be Banach spaces, and consider the space $Bil(X\times Y,Z)$ of all bilinear maps $B:X\times Y\to Z$ such that $x\mapsto B(x,y)$ and $y\mapsto B(x,y)$ are bounded maps from $X$ to $Z$ and $Y$ to $Z$ respectively. Endow this space with the following norm:
$\|B\|=\sup\{\|B(x,y)\|:\|x\|\leq 1,\|y\|\leq 1\}$
(In order to show that this norm is always defined, we require the principle of uniform boundedness.)
Why is this space complete under this norm? Here has been my approach thus far:
If we let $(B_n)$ be a Cauchy sequence, and put $\phi^y_n(x)=B_n(x,y)=\psi^x_n(y)$, then each $(\phi^y_n)$ and $(\psi^x_n)$ is a Cauchy sequence in $\mathcal{B}(X,Z)$ and $\mathcal{B}(Y,Z)$ respectively, so we have bounded linear maps $\phi^y$ and $\psi^x$ such that $\phi^y_n\to\phi^y$ and $\psi^x_n\to\psi^x$. Moreover, it is easy to check that $\phi^y(x)=\psi^x(y)$. Put $B(x,y)=\phi^y(x)=\psi^x(y)$, which we now know is in $Bil(X\times Y,Z)$. I claim $B_n\to B$.
The problem seems to be that I can make $\|B_n(x,y)-B(x,y)\|$ small for fixed $x$, or for fixed $y$, but I don't know how to uniformize this. I imagine it involves another application of the principle of uniform boundedness. Any suggestions?

The Design program at Keiser University was filled with real world learning and hands on instruction… Based on the portfolio I created while a student at Keiser University, I landed a job in Graphic Design for a major online retailer immediately after graduation.
The year and a half I spent in the program better prepared me for attaining a job in the field…As a hands-on learner, the project-centered teaching was perfect for me.
Keiser University has given me the opportunity to embrace a career change… It has opened the door for a timely graduation and quick return to the work force…
Without the education I received at Keiser University, I would not be where I am today!
I not only received an excellent education but also encouragement and training that built my self-confidence every day.
I realize the amount of knowledge I gained and feel that the educational experiences have developed me in to a person who can move higher up the career ladder.
Keiser University's MBA program has renewed my mind, changed the way I think, and given me a new sense of purpose. The professors transformed my attitude and behavior, gave me the self-confidence I was lacking, and restored my energy.
It has been great attending and graduating from Keiser University. Because of the small class sizes, I was able to build good relationships with classmates and professors. The PA professors care very much about the progress and success of the students and have been great advisors every step of the way through the program.
Attending Keiser University and getting my degree was the best decision I have ever made. The small class sizes and personalized attention helped me get my degree quickly. The hands-on experience and the education landed me a job at a neighboring law firm.
I chose Keiser because it had everything—small classes, caring professors, hands-on learning, and counselors that are really there for you. I feel like I'm part of a family here, not just a number.
After being denied for several promotions at my current employer, I decided that I needed to further my education. Since graduating from Keiser with my bachelor's degree in Business Administration, I have been promoted and I am able to obtain positions that weren't available to me before.
Keiser helped change my life by getting my education at the right school! I have been going to another school before, dropped out because I felt that I was not getting enough information that I need. When I found out about Keiser, I was pleased because the instructors were great.
My decision to attend Keiser University has been one of the best decisions I've made. I chose to enroll in the Information Technology program… The one-class-a-month pace helped incredibly with my self-discipline.
The BA for Business Administration at Keiser has to be one of the best in the nation. Keiser takes the basics that are taught at the Associates level and uses them to strengthen your skills and knowledge.
I found that Keiser University's Nuclear Medicine program of advanced studies and small class size was a perfect fit. I never came across a faculty member who wasn't truly interested.

How much control do wrestlers in WWE and TNA have over the direction of their respective gimmicks?
It depends on the worker. The higher up one is on the card, the more creative control that they have. When you're Hulk Hogan in TNA Wrestling, you can script a segment where the owner of the company is grabbing you by the leg, begging you to stay, when you are involved in a real-life contract dispute (watch here). If you're someone that just got the call-up from developmental, you're going to be given a script and will be expected to follow it.
Why do you think WWE and TNA have been bringing in the personal lives of wrestlers into storylines? Velvet Sky with Chris Sabin and now Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella, just to name a couple of examples.
I don't know the thinking behind Velvet Sky and Chris Sabin but the reason WWE is acknowledging the real-life engagement of Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella is to cross-promote Total Divas. That's the only reason.
Any word on when Damien Sandow is supposed to cash in his Money in the Bank contract?
As is the norm with the Money in the Bank situation, there's always buzz on when Damien Sandow will "cash in" the briefcase. The fact they're scripting him to tease a "cash in" at live events, like he did last weekend, has led some to believe it could be sooner than later. I can't give you a firm date but I can tell you it's something that comes up rather frequently. One of my pet peeves about the MITB holders is the way they are booked prior to cashing in. Sandow has been constantly buried, with the mentality that it will be a "bigger surprise" when he does cash in. I don't agree and am against the "tear them down to build them up" method.
What's the latest on Sheamus' rehab and do you see him turning heel when he returns?
Sheamus is doing well and is out of a sling as he continues his rehabilitation for a torn labrum that required surgery in August. He is still making regular appearances for WWE while he works to get back into the ring. You can view a photo of him with the co-creator of Spider Man Stan Lee at Ohio ComicCon a couple weeks ago at this link. I haven't heard anything regarding creative plans for him as WWE is hopeful he'll be back either late this year or early next year.

Marvel of the Sea
Published Aug 2, 2007 - (Updated Dec 11, 2012)
Featured in Vallarta Lifestyles Magazine, Summer/Fall 2007 issue.
Long before jet skis and condominiums, ATVs and fishing trawlers, female sea turtles crawled from the oceans and bays along the Pacific coast of Mexico to fling away loose sand and construct their nests. One of the oldest creatures in the world, this saltwater reptile appeared on earth about 200 million years ago, evolving over time to the eight species inhabiting today's oceans, all of which are currently on the verge of extinction. Seven of these, including the Olive Ridley, the Hawksbill, and the gravely endangered Leatherback, nest on Mexican beaches. These ancient creatures are considered an evolutionary success. The sea turtle has survived the extinction of other species, including the dinosaurs, without modifying its anatomy and has witnessed the birth of the creatures that may prove its undoing: humans.
Along the coasts of Jalisco and Nayarit, from the azure waters south of Mismaloya to the rolling ocean of San "Pancho", Olive Ridley sea turtles, the most common in the world, faithfully migrate hundreds – sometimes thousands – of miles from their feeding grounds to the beaches where they were born in order to nest. In contrast, the much larger Leatherback females often change beaches each nesting season.
Agile and graceful in the sea, turtles are slower and awkward on land. The female turtle works hard to dig a cavity for her eggs with her flippers. She lays from 45 to 120 eggs resembling ping-pong balls, and then fills and conceals the nest. Once the female has constructed the nest, usually at night and without any help from the male, she never returns to it. The turtle hatchlings must liberate themselves after about 60 days, generally in the dark or during a rainstorm when temperatures are cooler. The temperature of the sand affects the speed at which the embryos develop, however, so the hatching period can cover a broad range. When the hatchlings are ready to emerge, they
erupt from the nests as a group, orient themselves to moonbeams shining on the water, and dash across the sand to the sea en masse.
Interestingly, the females also nest in a crowd or arribada, the Spanish word for arrival used to describe the mass nesting of olive ridley turtles in particular, which mostly takes place from June through December. Scientists do not know exactly what brings thousands of the turtles ashore to deposit their eggs at the same time, but possibilities include moon or tide phases as well as climate and weather conditions.
Leaving and returning to the sea together may be a natural defense for the turtles against predators or a result of environmental factors, but grouping may also make the creatures more susceptible to massive harvests by man or natural disasters. The potential for turtle catastrophe is great: babies may die of dehydration in the sun making their short, but perilous, journey to the ocean or they are seized by natural predators like crabs or waiting herons. Once in the water, they may be caught in currents or eaten by sharks or circling birds or die after accidentally garbage. In fact, only about one in a 1,000 baby turtles survives to adulthood.
Adult turtles are at grave risk as well. In addition to the innate dangers of the sea such as sharks and tropical cyclones, turtles are seriously threatened by humans. The list is long: nets and lines of fishing operations; the ingestion of discarded plastic material such as plastic bags or balloons they mistake for jellyfish; water pollution; boats and jet skis; construction of buildings and seawalls which change the tides and beaches; ATVs on the beach that often crush nests; and lights from more and more hotels, homes and cars along beach that confuse the hatchlings. Poachers seek both the meat and eggs of the turtles to sell in Mexico and as far as Japan. For many years people along the coast of Mexico have traditionally consumed turtle as a part of their diet, partly because the eggs supposedly provided some aphrodisiac powers as well as protection against asthma and bronchitis. Leatherbacks are hunted as well for the oil they secrete, which is thought to contain medicinal qualities and is used for caulking boats or burning in lamps.
Well, if virility wouldn't be threatened by the extinction of sea turtles, why bother to save them? Scientists can't say with certainty, but enough is known about the diets of turtles to theorize. For example, turtles are one of very few animals to eat sea grass. Like a lawn, sea grass needs to be cut to thrive. As sea grass provides breeding and developmental grounds for some fish and seafood, a decline in these beds could affect the food we eat. Likewise, turtles feed on jellyfish. Without this natural predator, the jellyfish population could explode, keeping us all out of the ocean.
Attempts in Mexico to protect sea turtles are a combination of official and unofficial endeavors and responsibility seems to shift among agencies. Since 2000, responsibility for the protection of sea turtles has shifted from the department for fish and game (PESCA) and the National Fisheries Institute (INP) to SEMARNAT (Environmental Protection) to the National Commission for the Protection of Natural Areas (CONANP).
Since 1990, sea turtle eggs and meat have been banned from sale in Mexico. Mexican law also prohibits the killing of sea turtles or even the disturbance of their nests. Violations can result in up to nine years in prison. Shrimp boats are required to pull "Turtle Excluder Devices" which allow turtles to escape from the nets if they are caught. Mexican environmental authorities also work to promote the importance of sea turtles to the country's tourism business, as well as educate local fisherman on how to protect the animals. Furthermore, a public education campaign has been developed to curb the demand for turtle meat and eggs. However, the burden of patrolling Mexican beaches and enforcing the country's wildlife laws falls mostly to the Federal Attorney General's Office for Environmental Protection (PROFEPA) which employs a mere 300 agents to protect all of Mexico's wildlife and enforce its laws. With its limited resources, PROFEPA must rely on backup from the army, navy, and police and even local residents. There are also 27 government-funded sea turtle protection camps, which work to protect the animals and safeguard sea turtle nests and eggs.
Today, neighborhood conservation organizations, the local population and the tourist industry, have become an integral part of the conservation program. Universities are involved in several programs and most are administered by veterinarians or biologists and several recruit international volunteers or use local students to carry out daily conservation activities. Many of these groups retrieve sea turtle eggs from nests, and rebury them in protected pens where they will safely incubate until hatching. Once sea turtle hatchlings emerge, they are securely released into the ocean, sparing them the perilous journey from nest to ocean waters. An objective of most programs is to educate and create awareness of the importance of these fascinating creatures as well as all species. Anyone who cradles a baby turtle just a moment and then sends it across soft sand into the vast ocean will experience a miracle of nature.
Anyone who's had the chance to help a newborn turtle to the sea has come away touched by the wonder of nature, with a new awareness of the vulnerability of these ancient creatures. Most turtle release events are free of charge and take place from May through December. There are also commercial tours, which include transportation. Below are just a few of many places to engage with turtles. In all cases, check for times and programs and be sure to bring natural, non-chemical insect repellent along if it's not provided.

It's official.
The NBA has lost another of its premiere players to injury.
Chauncey Billups has suffered a season-ending, and most likely a career-ending Achilles tendon injury.
Although the majority of us are really happy that the NBA is back, that players and owners were able to come to a working agreement after a long locked out summer, and that each night is saturated with NBA games - at what cost has this condensed season with multiple stretches of back-to-back games come at?
It's of little surprise that one of the NBA's greatest floor generals suffered a non-contact Achilles injury Monday night after a shortened and hastened pre-season after a similar trend was discovered this past pre-season in the NFL after a similar lockout scenario.
Did the NBA not learn anything from the NFL and the result of its shortened pre-season where Achilles injuries were recorded at a 4x greater rate?
Although much was certainly debated this summer between owners and players, the topic of elevated injury risk was certainly not.
Of course there are a number of factors that may have contributed to Billups' tendon failure: his age, prior injury, or the incredible number of minutes played over his 14-year career, but one cannot ignore the similarities between the previously published NFL data and the current injury trend emerging in the NBA this season. Unfortunately for the NBA, what might ultimately be the Achilles heel for this year's season and what we may all ultimately remember it for, might just actually be the Achilles after all.
Myer GD, Faigenbaum AD, Cherny CE, Heidt RS, Hewitt TE. Did the NFL Lockout Expose the Achilles Heel of Competitive Sports? J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2011;41(10):702-705.

Although heel cord stretching and the use of the one dimensional slant board remain mainstream in nearly every sports medicine facility and rehabilitation program following a lateral ankle sprain, the lack of ankle dorsiflexion range of motion continues to reign supreme as the underlying cause for everything from an altered gait pattern, poor squat technique and the cause of ankle reinjury itself. So if we as sports medicine and strength professionals spend so much time addressing this limitation in both our rehabilitation programs and strength routines, why then do we seem to be no further ahead when it comes to making an actual change in both true osteokinematic and arthrokinematic motion?
Well, the answer I believe lies clearly in the fact that most professionals are simply not addressing the arthrokinematic motion so closely and dearly needed within the ankle to achieve full and unrestricted ankle dorsiflexion.
In an article by Denegar et al, the authors outline the importance of a normal joint axes of rotation along with the arthrokinematic or accessory motion around the talus itself. The authors note,
"An abnormal restrictive barrier to accessory motion changes the normal pattern of movement of a joint's instantaneous axis of rotation. Under normal conditions, as two articulating bones glide on one another, the instantaneous axis of rotation of the joint changes accordingly. For example, as the talus glides posteriorly on the mortise, the instantaneous axis of rotation of the talocrural joint also translates posteriorly. If a restrictive barrier is encountered which limits accessory motion, the instantaneous axis of rotation becomes fixed by this restriction. Further motion thus occurs around an abnormal axis leading to subsequent joint dysfunction. At the talocrural joint, restricted posterior glide of the talus results in an abnormally anterior instantaneous axis of rotation. While full dorsiflexion range of motion may still occur, it is not necessarily reflective of normal arthrokinematic function." (pg. 171)
So what's next?
Well, according to the above authors, a more hands-on approach with specific attention to the talus would result in a truer movement within the talocrural joint and a much happier ankle complex.
"Our findings, and those of Green et al, have implications for rehabilitation following lateral ankle sprains as well as the risk of reinjury. All of the athletes we studied had completed a rehabilitation program as directed by their physician under the supervision of a certified athletic trainer, and had returned to sports participation. Furthermore, all had performed some form of heel-cord stretching. None, however, had received joint mobilization of the talocrural complex. Despite the return to sports and evidence of restoration in dorsiflexion range of motion, there was restriction of posterior talar mobility in most of the injured ankles. Posterior talar mobilization shortens the time required to restore dorsiflexion range and a normal gait. Without proper talar mobilization, dorsiflexion range of motion may be restored through excessive stretching of the plantar flexors, excessive motion at surrounding joints, or forced to occur through an abnormal axis of rotation at the talocrural joint." (pg. 172)
In conclusion:
"Our results suggest that these therapeutic exercises and the passage of time restore dorsiflexion range of motion but not normal talocrural joint arthrokinematics. While more study of talocrural joint restrictions and the risk of reinjury following lateral ankle sprain is clearly needed, our results and those of Green et al suggest that (1) a restriction of talocrural arthrokinematics may be common following lateral ankle sprain; (2) the restriction my persist despite restoration of dorsiflexion range of motion; and (3) treatment of such restrictions may need to be considered in the rehabilitation following lateral ankle sprain." (pg. 172)
The next time you encounter a patient with limited ankle dorsiflexion, whether it's immediately after an ankle sprain or as part of your whole body assessment for another injury presentation, take a moment and assess both the quantity and quality of motion for all contributing factors to ankle motion.
Of course, if you never assess for this motion you'll never know it's NOT there.
Ignorance is bliss after all.

After a severe ankle sprain so much attention is often spent addressing the injured ankle that little time or thought is ever given to how the subsequent pain or the altered gait/weight bearing status of the individual plays into the long term health of the ankle or the entire kinetic chain that sits above it. Because injury within one area of the body may influence muscle activity, muscle recruitment and ultimately pain in another "unrelated" area, it is important for the clinician to both investigate and consider addressing these potential changes as part of their routine examination and rehabilitation programming. With previous injury being the most powerful predictor of future injury, along with previous ankle sprain recurring as a future ankle sprain approximately 80% of the time (Smith, 1986), it's worth considering another look at how we care for this common ailment. Traditionally, athletic trainers and other health care providers focus on providing PRICE (Protection, Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation) after an acutely injured ankle but unfortunately continue to address the pathology this way for an extended period of time. Although some forward thinking health care professionals actually do provide high level functional exercises within their rehabilitation program rather than the popular 4-way ankle thera-band exercises and Buso ball balancing acts that usually follow the ever present "ice and e-stim" protocol, very few address the altered function within the hip and hip musculature immediately after injury in an effort to sustain the highest level of athletic ability upon return to play.
Below are two articles that will certainly get you thinking about your own rehabilitation protocol following ankle sprains and perhaps even convince you that squatting and preparing your athletes and patients to squat after injury is not just something that strength coaches should be doing.
The Influence of Ankle Sprain Injury of Muscle Activation during Hip Extension
Bullock-Saxton, J. E., Janda, V., & Bullock, M. I. (1994) The Influence of Ankle Sprain Injury on Muscle Activation during Hip Extension. Int. J. Sports Med. Vol. 15 No. 6, 330-334.
Methods: In this study, authors looked at the function of the hip and specifically hip extension after severe ankle sprain (20 men, aged between 18-35, who had suffered unilateral severe ankle sprain no less than four months earlier who were pain free at the time of the study) and compared them to eleven matched controls. Muscle activation during prone hip extension was measured using electromyography on the motor points of ipsilateral and contralateral lumbar spinae extensors along with the hamstrings and gluteus maximus muscles of both lower limbs.
Results: "In summary, comparisons revealed that for the control group, the pattern of activation was consistent between sides of the body, and the timing of muscle activation of each of the four monitored muscles was almost simultaneous. In contrast, for the experimental group, on the whole the patterns showed little consistency within the subject nor between sides, while there was a greater spread in timing of muscle activation in both injured and uninjured limbs, particularly contributed to by the more marked delay in activation of the gluteus maximus muscle." (pg. 333)
"the results highlight the importance of the clinician's paying attention to function of muscles around the joints separated from the site of injury. Significant delay of entry of the gluteus maximus muscle into the hip extension pattern is of special concern, as it has been proposed by Janda that the early activation of this muscle provides appropriate stability to the pelvis in such functional activities as gait. Without this support, compensatory muscle activity and movement is likely to occur in the low back, possibly contributing to the development of low back pain." (pg. 333)
"the marked differences in muscle activation in both the injured and uninjured sides and their implications for development of further symptomatology, do emphasis the need for a broad ranging client assessment with treatment directed at improving appropriate muscle activation and co-ordination to ensure the comprehensive management of the injury." (pg. 333)
Clinical Pearls:
1. Pain is unpredictable and far reaching. By utilizing the SFMA as part of your evaluation process clinicians may address contributing problems and/or motor control deficits that otherwise would have gone unnoticed. You'll be amazed on how many patients that present to you with complaints OTHER than ankle pain often forget to mention that they have had a severe ankle sprain in the past just as you witness them topple over during the Single Leg Stance (Stork Test). 2. Evaluation of any injury must also incorporate the evaluation of whole body movement patterns as a means to both addressing performance limitors as well as possible contributions to future injury.
Ipsilateral Hip Abductor Weakness after Inversion Ankle Sprain
Friel, K., McLean, N., Myers, C., & Caceres, M. (2006). Ipsilateral Hip Abductor Weakness After Inversion Ankle Sprain. Journal of Athletic Training. Vol. 41 No.1, 74-78
Methods: 23 subjects with unilateral chronic ankle sprain were recruited. Subjects had at least 2 ipsilateral ankle sprains and were bearing full weight, with the most recent injury occurring at least 3 months earlier. They were not undergoing formal or informal rehabilitation at the time of the study. Researchers obtained goniometric measurements for all planes of motion at the ankle while handheld dynamometry was used to assess the strength of the hip abductor and hip extensor muscles in both limbs.
Results: Hip abductor muscle strength and plantar flexion were significantly less on the involved side than the uninvolved side (P< 0.001 in each case). Strength of the involved hip abductor and hip extensor muscles was significantly correlated (r=0.539, P < 0.01). No significant difference was noted in hip extensor muscle strength between sides ( P = 0.19).
Discussion: Our subjects with unilateral chronic ankle sprains had weaker hip abduction strength and less plantar flexion range of motion on the involved sides. Clinicians should consider exercises to increase hip abduction strength when developing rehabilitation programs for patients with ankle sprains.
Additional Commentary:
"Our findings of weaker hip abductors in the involved limb of people with chronic ankle sprains supports this view of a potential chronic loss of stability throughout the kinetic chain or compensations by the involved limb, thus contributing to repeat injury at the ankle." (pg. 76)"If the firing, recruitment, and strength of the hip abductor muscles in people with ankle sprains have been altered because of the distal injury, the frontal-plane stability normally supplied by this muscle is lacking, and the risk for repeat injury increases. Weak hip abductors are unable to counteract the lateral sway, and an injury to the ankle may ensue."
1. I remember Charlie Weingroff telling me that he had never met a flat arch that the hip couldn't fix. Of course this is not entirely true, and Charlie would admit this as well, but the fact remains that the hip has a tremendous effect on lower extremity function including your arch and of course your ankle.
2. Treatment protocols that include evaluation and strengthening of the hip must be established after injury to the ankle. Rehabilitation of proximal structures should be prominent within any lower extremity injury rehabilitation programming. _____________________________________________________________________________________
Conclusions and Final Thoughts:
No longer should injury be treated as an isolated insult to a specific joint, ligament or muscle. Both injury itself and the pain produced as a result from the injury have far reaching ramifications that require clinicians to incorporate evaluation and rehabilitation techniques that involve joints above and below the site of insult. Clinicians must develop a keen sense and an appreciation for whole body movement patterns and address aberrant patterns when they present themselves. Both the double leg and single leg squat patterns are time efficient tests that provide the attentive clinician an opportunity to observe such troubling patterns.
Functional return to play guidelines and testing need to incorporate measures not just related to ankle strength and range of motion but must also include measures related to the hip. Hand held dynamometer measures taken during annual pre-participation screenings can both be used as a baseline to compare after injury or used to tease out those individuals on entry with less than optimal hip strength from a previous unresolved injury. Those individuals that have significant side-to-side differences can immediately be given additional exercises and attention in an effort to both improve performance and possibly reduce the likelihood of future injury. Other pre-participation screening tests include single leg wall sit or single leg hop for distance which will provide additional information in the form of strength, power and motor control.

There are certain things you just have to do each day – brushing your teeth is one of them.
I first heard the analogy from an old friend of mine when discussing implementing an ACL prevention program with our soccer team and the struggles to keep the coaches on it once the season started,
"You wouldn't brush your teeth everyday for six months and then stop for six months would you?"
Dentistry has is right.
Not just the brushing every day part, (although clearly important) but their whole approach.
You probably don't even remember your first visit to the dentist do you? That's my point. Dentists get you right from the get-go. You're evaluated, x-rayed for a baseline to compare future visits to, you get picked at, poked and prodded and then they finish your visit with a cleaning, rinse and some fresh minty breath.
If you have good insurance you get to go back twice a year – Shoot, sometimes you go in and you don't have any tooth pain at all. But isn't this the point?
If the dentist finds tarter build up – BAM that little hook comes in and blasts that gunk right out of there. No use in letting that sit until it causes a cavity – your dentist wouldn't be doing their job if they did.
Yet, many times (I really mean all the time) in sports medicine we see athletes and patients with poor movement patterns, dysfunctional squats, steps and lunges and we do nothing.
We wait.
Their knee doesn't hurt yet.
No need to take a look. No baseline assessment. No poking. No prodding.
Once in a while an athlete or patient comes in on the advice from a friend – they have back pain.
"No problem. I'll help – let's just get some ice and e-stim on that, there, that should do the trick. See you tomorrow."
If you went to a dentist and you had a tooth ache and they rubbed some Novocain on your gum and told you to come back the next day to do it again you'd soon find another dentist to go to. One that addressed the problem and not just the symptom, and one then that gave you some advice on how to avoid future problems.
Dentists do it right – Baseline Evaluation, Regular On-Going Assessment, Treatment/Maintenance and Education.
I remember when I was a child brushing my teeth three times a day and then if on the rare occasion I was allowed to have some ice cream or candy my mother would make me do it again!
33 years later not a single cavity.
I wish I could say the same for my back pain.

I would like to set up a configuration where VPN clients connecting to my Forefront TMG can access all the resources of my Internal network without having the to use the option "Use default gateway on remote network" on the VPN's TCP/IP Ipv4 Advanced Settings. This is important to me, since they can use their own internet while accessing my network through VPN (the security implications of this are acceptable on my cenario)
My Internal network runs on 10.50.75.x, and I set up Forefront TMG to relay the DHCP of my Internal network to the VPN clients, so they get IPs from the same range as the Internal network. This setup initially works, and the VPN clients use their own internet, and can access anything that is on the internal network. However, after a while, HTTP Proxy Traffic from the Internal network starts getting routed to the IP of the RRAS Dial In Interface, instead of the IP of the Internal's network gateway. When this happens, the HTTP Proxy starts getting denied for obvious reasons.
My first question is: does this happen because Forefront TMG wasn't designed to handle a cenario that I described above, and it "loses itself"?
My second question is: Is there any way to solve this problem, either through configuration or firewall policies?
My third question is: If there's no way that it can work with the cenario above, is there another cenario that will solve my problem, and do what I'd like it to do properly?
Below are my network routes:
1 => Local Host Access => Route => Local Host => All Networks
2 => VPN Clients to Internal Network => Route => VPN Clients => Internal
3 => Internet Access => NAT => Internal, Perimeter, VPN Clients => External
4 => Internal to Perimeter => Route => Internal, VPN Clients => Perimeter

Two Romanian nationals pleaded guilty Friday and admitted their involvement in a massive identity theft scheme that used credit card skimmers to target Long Island Rail Road ticket machines, Nassau prosecutors said March 14.
Niculae Petre, 45, and Dorin Husa, 37, of Elmhurst, each pleaded guilty to a second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument charge. The two are expected to be sentenced to a year in jail on the charge and still face additional charges in Queens as part of the alleged scam.
"I think justice was done," Petre's attorney, Jake LaSala, said. "I hope in a few months he'll be home with his family."
Assistant District Attorney April Montgomery and Husa's lawyer, Anthony Como, both declined comment after the sentencing.
Detectives were led to Petre and Husa after arresting a husband and wife at the Sea Cliff Long Island Rail Road station in late October after they were allegedly caught removing cameras and skimming devices from the railroad station's ticket machines, authorities said at the time. The couple, Valer and Teodora Zaharia, pleaded not guilty to a slew of criminal charges.
MTA Police Chief Michael Coan said investigators searched an apartment in Elmhurst, Queens, where Petre and Husa lived, and found "a virtual factory to manufacture skimming recording devices and produce fraudulent credit and debit cards."
"They are the people who construct the devices," Diane Peress, chief of the Economic Crimes Bureau at the Nassau County DA's office said of the men. "They have the putty knives, the soldering irons and the spray paint."
During the search, detectives recovered thousands of credit and debit card numbers, hundreds of gift cards, cameras, skimmers, plastic molds, memory cards, flash drivers, computers, cash and credit cards. Two flash drives – containing stolen account numbers – were found in a toilet, prosecutors said.
A fifth suspect in the scheme, Cezar Nastasa, has been indicted, but remains on the run from law enforcement, prosecutors said.
Petre and Husa are scheduled to return to court on April 25 for sentencing.

The Rodney Strong Summer Concert Series is among my favorite Northern California attractions.
That's due in great part to the setting – Rodney Strong's amphitheatre is a green, grassy enclave just outside Healdsburg in the Sonoma County wine country. Can't go wrong there.
Then there is the fact that the concerts – unlike many another summer winery series across the region – still showcase smooth jazz. The genre's Northern California fans have seen their opportunities to catch its biggest stars live shrink over the past two decades so, in a way, Rodney Strong continues to strike a blow for musical diversity. Wine's pretty good, too, by the way.

Leaves have fallen around us throughout these many years
Mist has clouded our eyes with vapors of vast confusion...
No one told us then, how storms might come, how skies would gather tears
Or how the sun would often hide, and seem to disappear
Perhaps those years, might have done such harm, to have shattered our illusions
Instead, we lean into each other's arms, and will stay until conclusion...

Bravery is the father of fears
Dreams are distant cousins of nightmares
Hope is the sister of prayers
Every night shame lays down and gets screwed by despair
Pollution abuses Mrs. atmosphere
It's a battle between personality and reality
But obviously nobody cares
Maybe it's because big tough is the uncle of little scared
Planning is deeply in love with prepared
Procrastination is the biggest enemy of determination
Ignorance is jealous of realization
Sometimes strength can get sneak attacked by temptation
Silence can never defeat a great proclamation
When the brain disagrees with the heart
The body dies of complications
Love your self...

My mother an angel
Light shines upon her,
Brilliant and bright
Never ending source of might
Paving the way for her daughter,
Yes me
So thankful I am able to see
Endless, endless, endless, love
God sent her from up above
Has my best interest at heart
How did she become so smart
Full of wisdom
Unable to pin point exactly how
My mom has that umth pow
Powerful woman
Always puts rainbows in my clouds
My mom one in a million
The day I became yours is the day you became mine

when you are down to nothing, God is up to something that will make your everything.
just have faith as you live on this earth because faith is the substance that maintains our spiritual balance.
it sees the invisible, receives the incredible and makes possible the impossible.
it restores all lost hope and revives all crushed dreams.
it is the root of all religion. without it, we are nothing better than the stones or any non-living thing.
so let us have strength and faith as we live on earth.
thirst and hunger for it. when you find it, keep it so that on that day you will proudly say
i have run the race and kept the faith.
it was given to you on the very first of your breath on this earth at your birth up until to your death.
you just have to ignite it by using the word.
the word of God is like a rhythm.
it enters the body like a seed and when it mixes with the spirit, bears fruit like the energy produced in aerobic respiration.
the word of God does not deform!
it informs!
it reforms
and transforms your old form into a new form.
it does not convict the mind
but it converts the mind.
so just like i Fred have said, don't be afraid but take this word as your sword and enjoy this world

Not all are the same
If one mess up all take the blam
It use to be like that with me
But then I relized every one is a little diff
I wish I could take it back to the ole days on how it use to be
The brotha's that treat you right
You did your thang and he did what he had to do to keep her around
That person I have not yet found
What happen to the grls that use to treat they men right
And love and do what eva it take to keep him each and every night
That person would be me
Men, Boi's, Women, Grl's, just aint how they supose to be
I mean what I am saying is....
I'm that grl to hold him down
I'm that grl that'll most likely when he's hurt beside his fam that'll be around
I'm that grl when we sex or make love that make him weak
Weak for my love
I want that dude I know who will maintain
Like I said NOT ALL ARE THE SAME!!!

Your touch is gentle as the morning sky,
It is ever so honest,
Never to lie.
Your eye's are pools of gazing lust,
Together we must be,
Forever we must.
In your presence,
Surrounding are at rest,
Oh what a feeling to be with my best.
Friends for now,
Lovers forever,
Your the keeper of my very own soul,
Let go,
You'll never.
Your smile is competing against the sun and stars,
In a battle best not won.
Departure from you is what i dread,
My hungry heart is left unfed.
Within your presence,
My heart beats faster,
The rush you give me is such a clatter.
Never will i doubt the things you do for me,
For there's a strong bond between you and me,
For all of eternity.

im livin in a world, where all eyes on me.
trying to curve my own route.
but route 66 keeps finding its way to me.
ive been plenty sick, in all the events layed before me.
even when i reflect to my lowest points
i dont regret any of the choices
That I've deployed in my era
A lot of it by error, but hey
We live in hell conditions and there ain't no air condition
Or any guidelines when life throws you in the sidelines
But when hindsight twenty twenty hits
You'll begin to understand life's a bunch of equations and you in the mix of it
An you'll have to think twice, before running into a situation and becoming the best of it
it's what got me here, it's what got us here
Ran with my thoughts blazing up to her place and
Guess what happened next
She opened up heaven's gate
And just before late I slipped out
Simply put
I'm a Grown ass man
Doin his thing, waitin to blow up like an old land mine
In doin what he drools over
But time after time
Something decides to creep up and cover the light
Lost my way
Then I revoked to ever know, I ever thought that way
But in the in between time, that in the mean time
Spent a lot of time
Gettin pissed off just to medicate and lift off
Don't need Don Perion to sip off
Already had my way with the bottle
Even thought to get back with the trouble and rejoin the hustle
That's just what happens to a man who really knows his old ways
Whos tired of making ends meet and ponders getting back to the streets.
Memory sets in and he remembers an O.G. saying
No matter how tall your pockets stand when you ball
Eventually times gonna make you fall
And I as I pull myself together
I don't wanna end up like the twin towers rubble
I mean no offence to nine eleven but at that time I probably could have used a reverend
But all that's irrelevant now
because i live with a different perspective now
there you go you made it to the end :-) comment if you like, constructive criticism wanted as well.

I have woken up, my eyes glitter, programs shed. Phrases and meaning helping me to be what someone else wants me to be. I am the robot. Created to help, serve the creator, a something that needs assistance to help its life to be "better"
I have something else. Something more than considered. Emotion. I feel scared. Thinking for the best of others. Do what is best for them and what makes them happy. Keep them satisfied.
That would mean I have no life. But I am a robot. I am here to serve.
Why then give emotion.
Creator gave me emotion, for what?
Am I not to serve?
Am I to suffer in human life, to suffer everyday in a life of wants and needs but no satisfaction?
Am I to be a puppet to hang there and feel nothing while I get to be chosen to be worked with?!!!
I am a Robot. Not human. This is destined to me. But I need to consider
If I consider. I bind. Depends on what I consider.
But I would not be free.
How can I be bound and free?
How can one expect "feelings" to be slaved
I am not human.
I am robot.

IN THIS GENERATION, THE LEVEL OF EVIL HAS BECOME so RAMPANT that CHRISTIANITY IS ALMOST VACCANT.
AS EARTHLY ANGELS, WE SHALL STRUGGLE TO KEEP OFF THE DIRTY ACTIVITIES THAT HAVE MUSHROOMED IN EVERY SOCIETY BECAUSE NOWADAYS, THERE indeed IS A VARIETY OF ANXIETY.
INDEEED! THE END IS NEAR! THE BATTLE-FIELD IS ALREADY CLEAR! SO YOU MUST endure, PERSEVERE AND MUST HAVE NO FEAR BECAUSE ALL DAYS ARE NUMBERED!
i could sit here. day in and day out
thinking of the most proper way
to let the ink in the pen spill out
but as of late im feeling prehistoric
so much weight on my shoulders
and i dont know where to go
resuscitate my soul
look back up and head to the goal
so much evil around. i feel like the devils workin double shifts just to bring me down.
on the road to redemption
you can take a seat up in the front section
just so you can feel the emotions
in this electric notion
i've done a lot of things that hide the halo
let it all collaborate when i medicate
now look at me, mind workin like plato
formulate a new path to take so i can
maneuver through all the mistakes
we all know we cant change what we've already made
but we can change the next thing we create
startin to sound like a serenity prayer
5 steps till im thirty
and the twenty four before i was never a player
found out when the lights came back on im strictly a lover
its the strongest drink for your soul, when its thirsty
so careful how much you intake or be left hungover
even worse be the one she ran over
i dont mean to come off like im too deep
but the obstacles made there way through just to scrape through
and leave me suffocating
just for me to re-invent a new way to breathe, re-decorating
is your life so complicated
you rather wet up your pillows and revoke from the life you live
just think of your kids mourning
theyll never see that pretty face in the morning any more
cheer your self up
you got a lot to live for
your a gem and im that friend
trynna appraise the value
that you dont see inside of you
just another day for him
goin about
searchin wonderin what his purpose is
running in circles
till he found a way through all the turbulence
In a heated moment for no reason or why
my heart will pull toward a passerby
My mind knows but will not show
of a person in need as I take the lead
My legs start to shake
a knot in my stomach I can not escape
I bowel my head and start to pray with no time to delay
Standing still I go calm with relief sent from above
A warm feeling that someone is healing
sweeps over me as I start to weep
With my tears of joy I know and smile with a glow
God has answered me as I start to kneel
for the person he has just healed.

Today I talk to You with sympathy...
For I have found I love You in an epiphany!
Today;One Day At A Time,I find...
The People of Passion are kind.
I pity the ill,sick,and suffering in despair.
I pity the hurt in pain as I care..
For Today love flourishes deep with-in Me.
God resides quietly and peacefully as I see;
The Sympathy and The Pity:
The Heart,
The Buildings,
The Home,
and The City...
Unconditionally We love and We sit firmly...
Unconditionally We walk above it lit;yet composed.
Unconditionally We forgive
For forgiveness is A Prayer in Serenity that We cherish in Our Lives
Today I hope! I listen! I accept! I speak!:
Love all things without rations...
For Today I Have redeemed COMPASSION'S!

Love, this is the home of craggy sorrow
Each bleak house hugs a solitary widow
Waiting more at a pale silent window
Which portends the dead empty path
This carry the northern cold winds
Of early mornings into the gloomy strath,
Folding time, impatience and wrath,
And all day long, become friends
Footsteps' echoes and pattering of little ones,
Nabbing illusions of joyful shades of tones,
And miserable hearts those endowed anxiety,
And eyes, lips and noses always ready to cry,
Yet how they are innocent, ignorant and pretty.
O love, how the untold words are never dry,
And never desert me like the green in a cedar
Everlasting homage to warmth of leaves
I doubt that my absence should less differ;
I believe when time rashly counts and leaves,
I should feel your waiting when I disappear
Holding close to my soul your rich serenity,
I should roam your world like a dead star;
Long ago vanished, yet glistens bright and clear
Like your sad eyes when full of precious tears
Those guard your peace and banish your fears.

Romans 1:16
Now you might have heard of the phrase "On my one sixteen"
But you might be thinking to yourself, "What does this even mean?"
It means that you are unashamed of Jesus, our Savior
And that you just don't say it, you let it model your behavior
Now with your friends you talk about sports, school, girls, and lovers
But when it's time to talk about Jesus, you run and hide under the covers
Now this isn't the way we were made to react
If the gospel was the Mona Lisa we messed it up and made it abstract
We are to talk about our Lord without feelings of shame
So why do we so often fear to speak of his name?
Now Jesus didn't come so that we could be shy
So when we are afraid to talk about him, he must ask himself, "Why?"
Now I can see him looking down on us with a tear in his eye
Saying, "These people refuse to accept me, even though for them I came to die"
Jesus died for our sin, he came and washed it all away
He completely destroyed it, it wasn't made to stay
Now to our sin, we no longer have to be slave
So why is it that we still let our sin control how we behave?
Jesus destroyed our sin to give us a new start
He doesn't just want you on Sunday mornings, he wants your heart
It's not a one time thing, Jesus causes a new lifestyle
We must stay faithful to him, no matter what the trial
People are going to hate us for what we believe
They won't embrace the joy that we receive
Now living a life of one sixteen isn't going to be easy
You're going to have to man up when you start to feel queasy
There will be rough times, but it's worth the reward
We get to have a relationship with Jesus, our Savior and Lord
But this wasn't free, it was bought with a price
And it happened to be our Lord offered up as a sacrifice
But he took the pain of all our sin, he put it on himself
He didn't die so that the Bible could be a pretty decoration on our bookshelf
He gave it to us as an instruction manual, because we are in the middle of a war
It's supposed to guide us and give us hope, not be just another monotonous chore
He gave up everything he had for us, out of his blood love pours
But we keep on running to the arms of another, like a group of unfaithful whores
So how about we turn back to our faithful lover
You may think you're too sinful to love, that you've slipped up and can't recover
But if you run to God you will discover
That he still loves you, he hasn't moved on to another
So if you look back at all he has done
Why are we still ashamed to speak of the Son?
Let's speak of him with confidence and joy in our voices
Because we know he is the best out of any of the other choices
Out of all the ways to live, he's the only one who will satisfy
So let's take his word and to our lives let's let it apply
Let's shout the name of Jesus all over the land
Let's cry out this good news that it may grow and expand
Jesus is here to save, this word must be proclaimed
So let's be on our one sixteen and live life unashamed

A penny for my thoughts
I'd be a millionaire
Constantly my thoughts are racing
My mind is everywhere
Should I stay or should i go
Will I win or lose
Can I have my time to shine
Since I have paid my dues
A penny for my thoughts
I wish it were a buck
If I could just collect these thoughts
Then it might change my luck
My thoughts are so abundant
To count them is to many
My mind is worth a whole lot more
Then just one simple penny

As i sit and read your work, I ponder on it long and hard, think to myself Do you know me. Have we meet . this oddness is fair but with the many games I explore . Lets play those cards you say. I look upon your hand and feel a loss. I wonder why my cards are not good enough .Maybe they are, I whisper for it is not cards I play. I throw them in the air, smile and declare i've won. Life can be many things but a thought thats delivered can be fun. Whether I know you or not , what you wrote it traveled deep .My face was within your words my heart was bare . The game you played was never fair. and once again I threw it all up in the air .

Emotions overwhelm me,
Haunting me for reasons;
24 months and 19 days have passed —
Longing's destiny is vague.
What is a good solution
To combat fatigue of love
The other side is getting heavier —
Do I give in to emptiness'?
Yesterday you stripped me naked
Today you cut me into pieces
Knocked me out emotionally,
And perfected me mentally!
Now I see clearly;
It gives me more stability!
Realization dawned on me.
I doubted Yesterdays —
Do I need to trust today?
Am I longing for a soul?
Emotions do not need identity.
Face and body can live life,
With pretentions of mind.
Life is now a roller coaster,
The wheel, turning and churning,
Never stopping for breath.
Do I trust today, to forget
My yesterday's Dreams?

Midnight Cries
In midnight skies the cries of love drift off to sleep in endless love.
For he who heard them.
Sent them hope, that God created a world for them.
For us to see and bare good times.
For no more hurt and devishlish crimes.
For the earth which once was good.
Is soured and torn.
There are no morals or dreams no more.
Or hope of good things when suffering soars.
For they are crushed by his vast sword.
For he who has the greater sin.
He has carried and been burdened with.
He has been forgotten.
In times like these.
Because people hearts bleed with disease.
For they have burdened him with more sin.
They have forgotten the pain he is in.
For he so carried his cross with pride.
A younge man who was destined to die.
No matter what the world does think.
This man did live before we did.
We have lost our way in darkened times.
Like lost sheep we have roamed, away from him.
If youd only listen and help to carry his cross.
Take the blame for things done past.
Change our ways for hope to last.
We wont do that out of pride.
When he is denied.
I feel for him.
I pick his cross up and help him off the ground.
For he is my brother.
Who I have found.
He has carried that cross.
No man deserved his life in such a lose.
Tormented and torturded to no extent.
He didnt look like a mere man in the end.
He coutinued to stand even after he fell.
Showing me the strength of Heaven and hell.
For a man so strong, so bold and kind.
Showed me what we can do as man kind.
He gave his life for everyone who reads this.
For those who can not see.
Do not be blind
Find this man, for he needs you.
He gave his life to save you.
With your help, you raise his cross.
You heal that burden of love.
That has been lost.
Ease his pain and find your way.
For Heaven is a start and hell is a step away.

"Heaven Knows"
Heaven hears the joy and knows the sound of pain.
Heaven gives its recompense and sends it down in rain.
The sky obeys this notion and holds the clouds in its sphere.
Swimming in the air, the clouds stir and waver from pier to pier.
Heaven hears our prayers and keep them in jars as light.
When gathered up they are placed in the sky and shines as stars at night.
Knowing this the moon in gratitude obeys and takes a stand
by giving all its shine to the dark so to share in this glorious band.
Heaven knows our sorrows and holds them deep in the earth.
Until soften enough to take place in the earth's yearly rebirth.
Knowing this Mother Nature burst into attention each spring
Reminding us of God's promises while housing the birds that sing.
Heaven knows the kind of suffering that lives in the world.
Heaven forms a weapon of innocence in every little boy and girl.
Knowing this the authority of God is placed on us all.
Giving shelter to the spirit so as not to crack or fall.

She wore kindness, forgiveness and the romance crown,
Loved her when she laughed, yelled, groan, cried or croon,
Silliness, jokes, laughs, rivers of love, kisses above us flown,
Young lovers we were, holding hands, with devotion upgrown.
I was once lost in the darkness of life, and gave up the fight,
She hold my hands, "come" she said, to open field to sunlight,
"Let go" again she said, run, play, sing, spin and whirl in might,
I was luminary again, radiated like celestial fire on moonless night.
She is the one, who ignited the stars, and planted the roses,
Decorated my life with her musical cords, and magical gnosis,
So special my darling, possesses the miracles and the stick of Moses,
Happy 27th anniversary my gorgeous wife, and with love I closes.

The clouds are turning gray.
All my hopes I had in you .
are slowly fading away but fast.
Always thought this would last.
you said believe in you.
I gave you every chance.

Kiss my lips and your numb to me.

These days will end sooner or later
Whether it shall be today or tomorrow
It may come in a flash
It may be long ways from now
You may start to wonder
Will this ever come?
Oh yes it shall
For god has said
Let there be light
And Jesus will come again
Let the light of the world prevail in everlasting hope
And not to let it stoop in sorrow
The day the world will be at peace
This will be the day for all sins will be vanished
For god so loved the world he gave his only begotten son
For god so loved the world

The album was released on 29 March 1982 through EMI and on its sister label Capitol on the Harvest imprint in the US originally before it was re-released by Sanctuary/Columbia in the US. This was the debut of vocalist Bruce Dickinson in Iron Maiden.
