OMG a DD?! Thank you very much everyone, and a special thanks to for suggesting and for featuring! This has really cheered me up!
Originally this was not going to be "altered" but after playing with contrast, color and levels, i got this very interesting result. No filters or actions were used, just very basic editing tools.

Don't reply to this message;
just ENJOY the moment !!!!!!
I was downtown (here in Kingston) a few years back when they were flying low over Queens University. T'was a sight to see. (sorry, no pics)
Neither do I! I want to watch them all the time!
That's awesome! They did that in Cobourg when I was 5 years old. I think it was for a charity event, but I can't remember exactly
Gotta be one of my best childhood memeories.
Thank you! Sorry this response is late! I just got to looking over the comments in depth today School has been keeping me occupied.
I agree with you about the editing. I don't normally like doing editing a work at all, unless I'm trying to salvage something really interesting from a shoot. This photo was alright without the alterations and I was going to upload it as it was, but I felt it was grayed and there wasn't as much color contrast between the planes and the sky to really make them pop (I believe the smoke from previous loops might have created that effect on the original). I literally did exactly as I described, sticking with the very basic editing tools in Photoshop and well I guess the result was quite strong! Little things can make a big difference I suppose.

I had a great time in Malaga. The apartment was great, the location in the old town and everything (beach, museums, castle) in walking distance. The key delivery and acceptance was easy, also gave the hosts numerous valuable tips and was always available by phone. The apartment was very clean, I would recommend them without reservation.
Ich hatte eine super Zeit in Malaga. Das Appartment war toll, die Lage mitten in der Altstadt und alles (Strand, Museen, Burg) in Laufnähe. Die Schlüsselübergabe und -abnahme war problemlos, zudem gab der Gastgeber zahlreiche wertvolle Tips und war telefonisch stets erreichbar. Die Wohnung war sehr sauber, ich würde sie uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.
We had a very nice stay at the appartment. The room was very clean with modern kitchen and furniture. Furthermore, our friendly host Fede helped us finding a parking place and gave us some good advices for trips and restaurants.
Altogether, we were totally pleased that we booked this apartment for our holidays in Málaga.
Fede was a wonderful host! He was easy to communicate with, responsive and had lots of wonderful tips and information about the area.
The apartment was amazing! It looks exactly like the pictures, was clean, modern and functional. The location is perfect - so close to the main areas of Malaga and the street is very charming, a narrow old street with lots of old houses.
If I go to Malaga again, I know I'll be staying at Fede's place!
We had a great stay at Fede's apartment. It is a tastefully furnished modern apartment with a small patio situated in a quiet street of the old city centre. It is a 5 to 7-minute walk to the heart of the city. We really enjoyed our stay and will certainly try to stay there again when we visit Malaga. Marijke
Our stay at the Duplex-Center in Malaga was great. We really enjoyed every day! The host Fede was welcoming and very friendly. He even gave us some tips where to go during our stay in the city. He explained us everything and showed us the apartment at our arrival.
The apartment is perfect for 3-4 persons, it is very clean and the furniture are modern and welcoming.
If I'll visit this city again in the future, I definitely will try to stay again at Fede's place! We all 3 recommend this apartment to everybody. It was great!
Ruim, keurig verzorgd appartement waarbij we bij ontvangst prima werden ontvangen. De locatie was daarbij perfect, direct aan het strand in het vissers gedeelte van Malaga. Het centrum was prima met het openbaar vervoer te bereiken (of per fiets).
Het appartement ligt in het hart van de oude stad. Zogezegd op een super locatie.
Het was schoon en netjes.
Nadeel voor ouderen is, dat je boven slaapt en de badkamer en het toilet beneden zijn. Het is ook behoorlijk gehorig.
Een uitstekend appartement. Voorzien van alle nodige faciliteiten. De ligging is uitstekend in een rustige wijk en de bezienswaardigheden zij op loopafstand te bereiken. De gastheer is zeer behulpzaam. Zeker aan te bevelen bij een bezoek aan Malaga.
Appartamento ottimo, proprietario disponibilissimo!!!
Se dovessimo tornare a Malaga sicuramente torneremo da lui!!!
Un apartamento excelente. En pleno centro, y con todo lo que necesites solo a 5 minutos. Ademas el apartamento en si esta genial, reformado entero, que hasta te entran ganas de pasar todo el día en el))). En cuanto a Fede nos ayudó con todo lo que necesitabamos, y acertó con todos los locales que nos recomendó. Si volvemos por Malagá sin duda volveríamos a alojarnos en este apartamento.
Un saludo,
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone

So when she's gotten in at midnight and Kieran wakes up at 2 with night terrors, instead of panicking, she thinks, "I haven't seen him all day. I can't wait to hold that little boy! I run into his room and jump into bed with him and smell his little head. He falls back to sleep in two seconds. I don't, because once I'm up, I'm up." But she's aware that soon her son won't need her as much. "I know in the snap of my fingers he's not going to let me in his room. So I'm taking this moment, and I'm going to embrace it.
"It doesn't mean there aren't days where, the exhaustion, you want to just keel over," she sums up. "My feeling is, if I can do this job and still manage to be a wife and mother and have a life, then I can pretty much do anything." And though, she adds, it took her some time to get here, "I feel this is exactly where I'm supposed to be."

'Downton Abbey' Season Finale aired Sunday night, Feb. 23, and it had record ratings, according to a Feb. 25 article on Huffington Post. There were 8.5 million viewers watching, and many were wondering how the ending to this season would compare with last season's tragic death of Mathew Crawley in the last moments of the last episode. What do American viewers of this British soap opera really want from the writer, Julian Fellowes?
Over the past two seasons, viewers have expressed their displeasure with the dark, dismal turn that the storyline has taken, especially the two deaths of principal characters Lady Sybil and Mathew Crawley. Of course, in fairness to Fellowes, when actors leave a series on their own behest, a character's death is not necessarily the work of the writer. The continuing depressing nature of the show was in the writer's hands.
The long focus on the grieving widow and widower was tender at first, but it soon turned to painful emotional exhaustion. According to Huffington Post, long bereavements had become frowned upon at this point in British history. Queen Victoria's long period of grieving for Albert had been labeled as almost unpatriotic, causing harm to the public spirit.
In this final episode of Season 4, it almost seems like the storyline had been hijacked by Disney. Viewers seeking a brighter, more light-hearted "Downton Abbey" certainly got their wish with the episode set at Lady Rose's presentation to society and the surrounding gala. It did seem to leave many unsatisfied, though, judging from online remarks.
So, what do "Downton Abbey" fans want from the show? Well, one thing is for sure: they want another season just as fast as they can get it. There seems to be a period of Downton withdrawal at the end of each season.

I'm adding a note here that will be true of all of the parts of this unit study. There are several versions of The Swiss Family Robinson. This started back to its original publication some 200 years ago when it was written originally in German. There are various translations and even alternate endings. The edition that I am using was published in 1968 by Classic Press, Inc. in Santa Rosa, California. Other editions may be different. There are several modern versions that have removed all references to prayer and God which are so prevalent a theme in the original work. You may use this unit as a guide, and if your edition of The Swiss Family Robinson is slightly different, simply adjust it to meet your needs.

1. What was the purpose of the bird lime and what was it made from?

3. Why did father with to make a pigeon house?
4. Describe in detail the pigeon house that the Robinson family built and how they acquired "tenants" for it.
5. What did father want to make a loom for?

Charlottesville, Va. - In a match that started on Sunday and didn't end until early Monday morning, the eighth-ranked UCLA men's tennis team registered a 4-3 victory over No. 13 Cal in a consolation match at the ITA National Team Indoors at the Boar's Head Sports Club in Charlottesville, Va. Despite falling to Duke in Friday's opening round, the Bruins (10-1) regrouped to win its final two matches at the Indoors.
With UCLA and Cal tied at 3-3, Bruin sophomore Clay Thompson clinched the win for UCLA at court No. 2, posting a 7-5, 3-6, 7-6(5) victory over Cal's Carlos Cueto. At 5-5 in the third-set tiebreaker, Cueto called a shot out and was then overruled by the chair umpire. Not only did Cueto lose the point to go down 6-5, but it was his third overrule of the match meaning that Thompson was awarded yet another point. Unfortunately for Cueto, the penalty was assessed on match point, meaning that Thompson took the tiebreaker 7-5 and UCLA was able to pull out the 4-3 victory.
Although UCLA lost the doubles point on Sunday, the Bruins started very strong in singles play, actually taking a 3-1 lead following straight-set victories by Nick Meister, Dennis Mkrtchian and Adrien Puget. UCLA nearly took the match 4-1 when freshman Marcos Giron was up a set and serving for the match up 5-4 in the second set against Ben McLachlan at court No. 3. McLachlan, however, was able to pull out a second-set tiebreaker and eventually take the match, 3-6, 7-6(5), 6-4 to cut the lead to 3-2. Cal's Gregory Bayane then tied things up at 3-3 when he downed Bruin junior Maxime Tabatruong, 7-6(3), 7-5 at court No. 5.
Thompson's match-clinching victory on Monday wasn't his first at the Indoors, as he also pulled out a three-set win in almost the exact same scenario against Florida at last year's tournament in Seattle.
The win marks UCLA's second win over Cal this month, as the Bruins also edged the Bears, 4-3 on Feb. 3 in Berkeley.
UCLA returns to the Los Angeles Tennis Center this week, facing St. Mary's on Saturday at 1:00 p.m.

Premarket — Sleepy Start
Futures activity suggested modest losses are on tap for the market today, but with no economic indicators on the schedule, stocks could stay within their recent range. One possible catalyst for trading: a 1:30 p.m. speech by Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher, who recently dissented from the Fed's decision to cut interest rates, citing concern on inflation.
Shares of Eli Lilly rose 2.6% to $51.11 before the opening bell after it and a partner said the Food and Drug Administration will speed its consideration of an experimental anti-clotting drug to treat heart patients. Lilly and Daiichi Sankyo said the FDA granted priority review for the application for prasugrel, submitted Dec. 26, meaning the agency likely will rule on it within six months. The standard review takes 10 months.
Express Scripts rose 59 cents to $65.35 after the pharmacy-benefits manager said it expected 2008 earnings from continuing operations in a range of $2.92 to $3 a share, above what Wall Street expected. The St. Louis company also posted fourth-quarter profit, excluding non-recurring items, of 68 cents a share, on 4.2% rise in revenue to $4.69 billion.
Crude-oil futures prices were little-changed after coming off highs earlier in the week. The April contract fell 14 cents to $98.09 a barrel. The dollar was weaker against the euro and the yen.

The actress would have been up against five-term Republican Senator Mitch McConnell, one of the Democrats' top targets.
22:22, UK, Wednesday 27 March 2013
After months of speculation, Actress Ashley Judd says she will not run for US Senate in Kentucky against Republican Mitch McConnell.
The Kiss the Girls star made the announcement in a Twitter message late on Wednesday.
Defeating Mr McConnell, the five-term Senate minority leader, would be the Democrats' top priority of the 2014 election.
A political advisor for Judd, Hilary Rosen, told CNN the actress had decided in recent days that the timing was not right to jump into the political arena.
The former Kentucky, resident now living near Nashville, Tennessee, announced her split last month from her husband, the Scottish IndyCar racer Dario Franchitti.
The daughter of country music maven Naomi Judd has said little publicly about her intentions, but fuelled rumours by meeting several Democratic leaders, including Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear, to discuss a possible run.
Mr McConnell's seat is one of 14 in the US Senate that Republicans will have to defend next year, while Democrats try to hold onto 21.
Judd has starred in several movies including Someone Like You and A Time To Kill.

HUD and VA are happy to announce the release of The Department of Housing and Urban Development and Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) Resource Guide for Permanent Housing and Clinical Care.
HUD-VASH's goals are to place homeless Veterans in safe, stable, affordable, and, most importantly, permanent housing. Under the auspices of the program, HUD provides housing vouchers while the VA provides long-term case management, ensuring not only that Veterans receive the medical and counseling services they need but that they are able to sustain residence and avoid relapsing into homelessness.
The HUD-VASH Resource Guide was designed to provide case managers, social workers, treatment specialists, program managers, and other clinicians who work with homeless Veterans through the HUD-VASH program with a comprehensive set of resources. The guide includes a wide range of information such as useful tools, exercises, worksheets, and links to other homelessness resources and programs.

Ontonagon kindergartener Alli Bobula uses an app on an iPad during a Gogebic-Ontonagon Intermediate School District meeting at the Elk and Hound in Ironwood on Thursday. Every kindergartener in the GOISD received an iPad to use in their classroom at the beginning of this year.
IRONWOOD — Kindergarteners in the Gogebic-Ontonagon Intermediate School District have enjoyed a new age tool for learning this school year.
Students presented their skills on iPads to the GOISD at the Elk and Hound in Ironwood on Thursday.
Area kindergarteners and teachers demonstrated how the devices are used in the classroom to representatives of school districts in Ironwood, Bessemer, Wakefield-Marenisco, Ontonagon and Ewen-Trout Creek, and board members from Gogebic Community College.
"This isn't your typical board meeting," said Bruce Mayle, superintendent of the GOISD. "This...

text: It seems that many people are requesting additional features, which would complicate the VNC protocol and require new versions of both client and server. In some cases, this can't be avoided (e.g. 1 bpp support and compression, which would be useful for me as well), but perhaps it would be a good idea to design a VNC proxy server which can handle some of the complexity of the requested features, while the clients and original servers are kept simple. Some features that could be implemented with a proxy sitting between server and client: - controlling several server displays from a single client, perhaps with an overview display showing all server displays in a "thumbnail" view, zooming-in on demand to a particular server. - multicasting (not sure if the current clients could handle this...) - session management (client connects to proxy; proxy shows available servers and offers a dialog box to choose from, or starts a server first) - serial/parallel port connections (would require only new clients; not sure if it's worth it, since it's the same code whether it's implemented in the proxy or in the server itself) Does anyone else think that such a proxy server would constitute a useful project? At least the one client -> multiple servers handling seems useful enough to me. What I miss most at the moment is a way to start a Xvnc server from the client, without having to start up a telnet session first (and without having to keep Xvnc running all the time).

Dancing, traditional Brazilian music, rhythm, and coordination are not what you expect to learn in a martial arts class, but they are what you will learn in Capoeira. Originating in colonial Brazil, it began as a form of martial arts taught to enslaved Africans by freed slaves, capoeiristas quickly added music and dance to disguise the deadly force that was being taught in the practice from their suspicious masters. Today it is practiced in studios and gyms throughout the world.
The basic move called a ginga, kicks, cartwheels, crouches, and feints that are all traditional moves to Capoeira have many of the same toning power of push-ups, squats, lunges, and crunches while it increases flexibility as well as Yoga. All of the moves are put together during the roda where the Berimbau and the Atabaque are played while participants sing Portuguese call and response style songs. Inside the circle two people battle in the art of traditional Afro Brazilian fighting and dance. The roda is not only fun to watch and see how the moves all work together, but it is great calorie burning workout.
If you are interested in learning this art Capoeira Besouro is the studio to begin in. Mestre Batata helps new students learn and focuses on teaching the importance of each move to the practice. Beginners' classes are offered on Mondays and Wednesdays at 7:00 to 8:00. There are also classes for all levels, which allow beginners to receive more intense training with advance students.
The atmosphere is exciting and therefore conducive to learning. Watching others practice and seeing the moves in the end will take your mind off the fact that you are burning calories and toning your body. You will be so entranced with how visually appealing and fun the practice is you will completely forget you are working out.

The unwanted attention was nothing new, Alfano explains.
"I've always gotten compliments about my looks," she says. "The animosity, I get from female partners, and male partners try to come onto me."
Alfano says a rotating cast of rich, married men came to Starbucks and took the polite compliment a step further: One male customer said she looked like a movie star and wanted her phone number; another licked his lips and asked her to go home with him.
"It started in Merrick with a lot of customers always commenting [about] me and asking me what my background is," she says. "If I wanted to, I could have had maybe 20 sugar daddies."
Yet just as Alfano's physical appearance attracted unwanted attention from customers, her looks may have helped her land employment in the first place, analyses suggest.
Numerous published studies have found that individuals favor attractive people over unattractive people in criteria such as perceived job qualifications, hiring recommendations, predicted job success and compensation levels. The conclusion: Attractive people fare better than their less attractive coworkers in many occupational outcomes. They may have an easier time finding employment, doing well in their positions, and earning more money than those with less eye-pleasing physiques.
This "beauty is better" concept dates back to the famous study "What is Beautiful is Good," originally published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology in 1972.
"Not only are physically attractive persons assumed to possess more socially desirable personalities than those of lesser attractiveness," the authors concluded, "but it is presumed that their lives will be happier and more successful."
Lucy M. Watkins and Lucy Johnston, from the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, published a modern experiment inspired, in part, by this beauty bias theory 30 years later. Their study, "Screening Job Applicants: The Impact of Physical Attractiveness and Application Quality," investigated the impact of an individual's attractiveness on employment.
"[In] most instances physical attractiveness is unrelated to job performance and hence any bias toward physically attractive job applicants represents discrimination," they write.
Watkins and Johnston's experiment tested just how much a pretty picture can bias a job applicant's rating—and a bias is exactly what they found. Their results indicated that an attractive, average-quality applicant was evaluated more positively than an average-quality applicant whose résumé lacked a photograph. Namely, the study concludes, that individuals' physical attractiveness can boost their attractiveness as job applicants.
In July of this year, Newsweek, too, discovered this. Surveying 202 corporate hiring managers and 964 laymen, the national news organization came to the conclusion that looks do indeed matter. According to its results, 57 percent of managers responded that unattractive, but qualified, job candidates will have a harder time getting hired and 68 percent believe that appearance will influence managers' employee performance ratings post-hiring. The public confirmed these sentiments, with 63 percent and 72 percent saying that physical attractiveness is beneficial for job-hunting men and women, respectively.
"We've long known that attractive people get ahead—there are studies showing that better looking people make more money, even that babies stare longer at attractive faces," Jessica Bennett from Newsweek, author of "The Beauty Advantage," tells the Press. "But as our culture is increasingly consumed by looks, what we're finding is that perhaps beauty matters more today than it once did—and in the current job market, where employers have more choice than ever, looking good can be a real asset. That's not to say that experience and smarts don't matter, but the sad truth is that sometimes it's the superficial things that will get you in the door."
In an endeavor to put the beauty bias hypothesis to a local test, the Press ran its own experiment. Using the materials from Watkins and Johnston's experiment, and attractive and unattractive female photographs courtesy of Brian Meier, from Gettysburg College, co-author of "Downright Sexy: Verticality, Implicit Power, and Perceived Physical Attractiveness," the Press replicated the two women's experiment in a more local setting: at 11 businesses in Nassau County, in the towns of Glen Head, Port Washington, Syosset, Williston Park, Manhasset, Glen Cove, Greenvale and Roslyn.
Forty-eight business professionals participated, simulating the hiring process by voluntarily acting as recruiting officers. Participants first read a job advertisement, and then one version of a résumé, of either high or average quality. Each résumé had a yearbook photo of either an attractive or an unattractive woman (or, in some cases, no photograph at all). Participants judged how qualified the candidate was for the position, how likely they would be to offer the candidate an interview, and the starting salary they would offer the individual.
The results: High-quality resumes with the attractive female's photograph were rated significantly higher than high-quality resumes with the unattractive female's photograph. There was also a trend that high-quality resumes without a photograph were rated higher than high-quality resumes with the unattractive female photograph.
As it turns out, merit is not immune to the effects of beauty.
In addition, high-quality resumes with the attractive female photograph were much more likely to get an interview than high-quality resumes with the unattractive female candidate. And, for both the high-quality and average-quality resumes, an applicant without an attached photograph was awarded a significantly higher starting salary than an applicant with the unattractive female photograph.
Additionally, for both the high-quality and average-quality resumes, an applicant without an attached photograph was awarded a significantly higher starting salary than an applicant with the unattractive female photograph.

Zac Brown Band kicks off The Great American Road Trip Tour, introducing ZBB's new, eighth member Matt Mangano on bass. The tour is coming to Phoenix for one show at Ak-Chin Pavilion on Thursday, October 16th. 7 p.m. start time.
Tickets are on sale today at 10am at www.ticketmaster.com, www.livenation.com or call 1-800-745-3000.
Tickets are priced between $29.50 and $74.50 (plus fees).
In a recent press release, Live Nation shared that the often praised for their "unparalleled musicianship" (VH1), which earns the band standing ovations at every awards show they play, ZBB's latest musical expansion will see long-time ZBB bassist and vocalist John Driskell Hopkins playing different instruments. Already known to "electrify with ear-grabbing vocals" (Billboard), Hopkins will continue to sing and play bass, but take on guitar, baritone guitar, ukulele, upright bass, and banjo in the band.
Matt Mangano's official addition to the band line-up might be news but fans of ZBB will recognize him from on-stage guest performances over the years and from his studio work on 'The Grohl Sessions Vol. 1' and 'Uncaged'. Mangano was even a featured guest player on the band's first live CD/DVD release 'Pass the Jar...' in 2010. Before playing with Zac Brown Band, Mangano toured as a guitarist with John Mayer and performed with singer/songwriters Darrell Scott and Dave Barnes.
Of the new line-up, Zac Brown said: "We're always growing as musicians and challenging ourselves to bring new things to our fans. Hop is an amazing talent and I can't wait for people to see what we've got coming for the live show."
The band's latest project 'The Grohl Sessions Vol. 1' was produced by Dave Grohl and released on Zac's own Southern Ground Artists label. The "genius" (Cleveland Plain Dealer) collaboration "embodies the best of all parties involved" (NY Times). To date, Zac Brown Band have earned three GRAMMY Awards, sold over 6 million albums and produced a historic series of eleven #1 hit singles.
Zac Brown Band is: singer/guitarist Zac Brown, violinist/singer Jimmy De Martini, multi-instrumentalist/singer John Driskell Hopkins, guitarist/organist Coy Bowles, multi-instrumentalist/singer Clay Cook, drummer Chris Fryar, percussionist Daniel de los Reyes, and bassist Matt Mangano.

I seem to have to dust-like speck on my Sony Cybershot S950's lens, but it appears randomly every few pictures. Could something be going bad internally?
That sure looks like sensor dust, for which I'd recommend seeing the answers in the Best way to clean a DSLR sensor thread. The spot may appear "randomly" because it only appears when you're using a narrow aperture.
That said, it seems you don't have a dSLR, thus no interchangeable lenses which are what usually causes the situation where dust can get inside the camera body. I suppose it's possible that dust got inside the camera through some other way although I think that's a fairly rare occurrence.
If the camera is still under warranty, it's worth a call to the manufacturer.

Blogs in Web Studio?
We have had quite a few customers asking when Web Studio will have Blogs built in as a drag and drop feature.
A hint at the answer would be the fact that we're using Blogger.com for our blog....we won't be adding Blogs to Web Studio.
We got interested in adding a blog feature when we saw an "un-named" competitor added blogs to their latest version. We actually designed a pretty cool blog system that was drag and drop and basically as simple as everything in Web Studio.
However, a discussion with someone outside the company brought us to our senses!
We have a great web design program. Google has a great blogging program. Should we spend our resources trying to one-up Google's Blogger.com, or should we spend our time improving Web Studio's other great features?
The facts behind the simple answer is Google has a team of people improving and inovating their blog system. It is an entire product for them. For us it would be one feature among hundreds of others. The cost of keeping up with Google for that one feature would be at the expense of all the other hundreds of features.
So, we realized it didn't make sense to add a feature that deserved to be a product all on its own.
There won't be a blog feature in Web Studio.
But we can point you to a really great blog program, Blogger.com!
We think this is much better solution for our customers!
P.S. You can host the blog on your website if you like. That way you can have your own URL to your blog. Blogger.com suports this. We use it for our blog. It is hosted right on our website, but we use Blogger.com' s site to create, edit, and upload the blog.

MACON, Ga. – Just one night after mustering five total hits, the Mercer baseball team showed just how prolific an offense it truly has in an 18-3 win over Savannah State on Wednesday evening at Claude Smith Field.
After totaling just five hits in a road win against Savannah State on Tuesday evening, Mercer (21-7) pounded out 16 hits, including four home runs, on its way to scoring its second-most runs in a single-game this season against the Tigers.
Sophomore Chesny Young spearheaded the Mercer offensive attack, going 3-for-5 with two doubles, a home run, three runs scored and a career-high seven RBI.
Juniors Derrick Workman and Nick Backlund were not too far behind, each clubbing a home run and collecting multiple RBI in the win.
Mercer put the game out of reach very early on after scoring 11 total runs over the first three innings against Savannah State starter Ross Hunter.
Home runs by Young and Backlund in the second and a long ball off the batters eye in dead center by Workman in the third gave the Bears a comfortable 11-1 lead after three innings of play.
Sophomore starting pitcher Eric Nyquist was the benefactor of all the early run support, allowing just one run on four hits in five innings pitched to pick up the win in just his second career start.
Sophomore CJ Reed added one more home run for good measure in the bottom of the fourth when he smacked his second career round-tripper over the fence in left field to give Mercer a 14-1 lead.
A trio of relievers in sophomores Mitchell Wade and Ben Lumsden and freshman Ben Spears threw the final four innings of the contest to help secure the win for the Bears.
Mercer is back in action tomorrow evening when it begins a three-game Atlantic Sun Conference series against Jacksonville on Thursday evening. Game time is scheduled for 6 p.m. at Claude Smith Field.

Not going to help, alot of people lean towards visual understanding and i suggest you put pictures with it. Good try tho
I can now confirm this method does work!!!!! I was able to get my liteon (225 with matrix board) into vendor mode using intel chipset sata card. It was very easy to do, but you will need a usb to sata cable. In my case I used an old xbox for power, but you can also use ck3.
Step 1) power computer on with liteon drive powered so bios recognises
Step 2) open jungle flasher and go to MTK flash tab and click intro
Step 3) power off drive and connect to usb to sata kit making sure its plugged in to a usb port on the computer
Step 4) power on the drive and wait about 10 seconds
Step 5) unplug the usb sata cable and plug in sata cable to controller card
Step 6) click yes on the button that asks if you want to send intro again
If you did this right than it should go right into intro. It worked on the first try for me.

Here is the video I learned the trick from. I hope this helps. In the video he uses a home made switch to go between sata controller and usb to sata. I did it just as easily without a switch and manually swapped the cables.

Sherlock confesses that he has no peer in a drug addict meeting. He believes that because he has no peer, it is his greatest threat to his addiction. He can only give a part of himself because he has no equal. Him & Watson try to help a fellow female addict who cannot find her relative. They return home to find Myrcoft waiting for them.
Sherlock & Watson search the apartment of the relative named Page Dawl. She had been missing for two days & they find a box with bags of heroin in it. They find stacks of money as well & Watson grabs a business card with a phone number. Sherlock calls that number & a young man is later questioned in jail by detective Bell.
Mycroft talks to Watson & claims that he wants her back. She is flattered, but doesn't want to tell Sherlock anything. The next morning, Sherlock wakes her up by asking questions about what his brother really wants. They discuss Page & go to a park near her home. They both follow two sets of foot prints & then find two dead bodies. One is Page & they cannot recognize the other person which is a man.
Detective Bell finds out that the man is named Zack Pillar. Sherlock & Watson figure out that he was murdered & witnessed by Page who was also killed. - What does Myrcoft really want with Watson? Can Sherlock figure out why his brother is back in New York? How does Sherlock find a mechanical spider that might be a military drone? You can watch the full episode of "The Man with the Twisted Lip" at the official website of "Elementary."

Our History
Woodleigh School opened its doors in 1856 as a small independent coeducational primary school, known as St. Paul's School. It was one of the earliest schools in the Colony of Victoria, the oldest independent coeducational school in Victoria and the first on the Mornington Peninsula.
The primary school was originally housed in a small wooden hall in the grounds of the Anglican Church near the Frankston oval and played an important part in the early days of the 19th century Victorian Colony. It provided a focus for the small, rapidly growing community and early settlers paid one shilling each week to have their children receive a 'sound moral education' to counter the effects of 'larrikinism' after the Gold Rush.
In 1970, the school moved to 3.5 hectares of land off Seaview Road in Frankston. This primary campus was called Minimbah – an Aboriginal word meaning 'place of learning'.
In the early seventies, the feasibility of establishing a secondary school was investigated. In 1975, the Senior Campus was opened on 12.5 hectares of bushland in Baxter, retaining the name of the original farm property, 'Woodleigh'. In 1989, 1997 and 2001, further new land was acquired to increase the area of the Senior Campus to 22 hectares.
From the beginning of 1999, the name of the combined campuses became Woodleigh School, with the Junior Campus continuing to be referred to as Minimbah.
Minimbah and Woodleigh are approximately 8 kilometres apart.

Here in my room,
I lay in my bed,
With every thought of you,
Intruding my head,
Like snapshots in my brain,
Of the last thing you said,
My gut is violated,
And I twitch with rage,
I cannot free myself,
From this anxiety ridden cage,
And in this chapter of our life,
It seems I can't turn the page,
This torture is much worse,
Since you have been away,
I am so scared,
That away is where you'll stay,
And no matter how hard I try,
I will have to lay here in my room,
Alone one more day.
By Mac Holmes. Janettas grandson.
Written sitting in my room alone still waiting...

It was something real -
love's lucidity stretching to eternity.
The dusky pink air of evening, salty gravel underfoot,
and the five o'clock brooding on water and mud flat.
There you were, fixed figure on the landscape,
black irregularity against all that pink,
your solitude clutching at my uncertain empathy.
You wanted to be understood.
It shocked me softly - your impenetrable cocoon,
the warm human reaching,
and the sea of your separation
washing up over my disregard.

His fragile fevered brow is soaked with life's sweat
Nearing the end, his death has not arrived just yet
Shivering, his body is on fire, he makes a gentle sigh
His frame broken down by the years now passed by
The end of the final chapter, his book has grown old
Soon in a faith filled church, his past tales will be told
He's a person, loved, surrounded by his living history
His family hold one another, parts of his closing story
Go quietly now love, for the time has come to move on
Hush now, your wearied tiredness, is oh so nearly gone
Soon the warmth of living will become so stiff and cold
Leaving this earth's dusty soil, so as to join an eternal fold
He enters deaths doorway that will close quickly behind
A peace beyond imagination, a kind welcome he will find
Tears flow, fond goodbyes are spoken a kiss of farewell
Do not mourn too long have faith, know he is now well.

I'm overcome with grief
as I slowly die inside.
They tell me this is normal,
and everything will be alright.
I can't seem to eat a meal,
or close my eyes to dream.
All I visualize is your face,
then accidentally scream.
I can't seem to leave my home,
whats the point anyways?
Without you standing by my side
life is nothing but a waste.
Maybe soon enough I'll join you,
as I slowly die inside.
When I finally enter the gates of pearl
everything will be alright.

Another cup of coffee spilt,
Upon an egg-shell shirt of silk.
It didn't really have a chance,
Caught up in all the circumstance.
It cracked against the tabletop,
A trembling hand from whence it dropped.
It didn't mean to get in the way,
It just so happened, was, that day.
"On purpose", it had set him off,
One gulp and he began to cough.
My fault, I know, he drank too soon -
And banged it down against the spoon.
Enraged, he throws the cup at me,
Still steaming like a cup of tea;
I caught the cup - it's mould intact,
But couldn't catch the water's slap.
While standing there I caught his too,
And felt my cheek turn black and blue;
It slipped out of my hand and fell,
And smashed apart like oyster shell.
It's my mess, I'll mop it up ~
I broke my favourite coffee cup.

My adored is here, Oh Vincent!
Charming with your perfume's scent
not minding if it costs just 50 cent.
Wishing to lean on you
and form a crescent
on your well endowed body
which is like an expensive present.
Stealing a kiss from me is decent
but pulling me back
and forcefully keeping my legs bent;
even with my resistance,
you would not relent
makes you a pathetic Dog 100 percent.
And I am regretful of my time badly spent.
I escaped, when you were a little complacent
as you rudely smiled
like a badly trained Adolescent.
And all these while,
I thought you were innocent.
How dare you try to penetrate
without passing through my consent?
Now that the beast in you, you represent,
the only thing I have to say to you
is REPENT!

" From the debt of my heart"
The African child
Sat behind the bamboo fence
He was sober and tense
Sputtering and wondering.
He forsook the bush meat
And the gathering under the moonlight
For sobriety and the causes of his uncertainties.
His clothes were like dried leaves
His feet like openings in the eaves
He longed to see a brighter tomorrow
He clarified the causes of his sorrow;
Sins of the father,
Fighting not to make things better
Therefore darkening the weather,
Making his destiny falter and bitter.
Tears exuded from the sound of his flute,
His fears enlarged like a parachute
But one thing he never understood,
Watch and pray, oh! African root
For your foundation is stinky, filthy,
Faulty and guilty...... watch and pray.
Copyright © Charles Melody Lightning Ink | Year Posted 2011
There once was a day I would watch every airplane.
Praying you was on it to come take me away.
As a child I wanted you around until the day, you actually came.
The day you came is the day my life forever changed.
I remember as if it was yesterday when you physically violated me.
Mental visions as early as the age of eight, but old enough to vociferate.
Visualizing mental pictures in my mind while I am awake very aware of the improper abuse I take.
Your body on me feels something like an autopsy of a dead body.
While you lay on top of me as you press aggressively on me.
Against my will your force kept me still.
I am trying to understand if you recognize who I am.
I try to say no hoping you can comprehend; I am weakling as you apprehend.
Mentally and physically I became involuntarily your property.
A main character in a horror story, and you were my predatory.
I asked "God why?" as I bare to stare into his eyes.
This is not thee love I seek; all I wanted was my father to love me, but not like this injustice of violation of my rights.
This love is not real; not the love I wished to feel.
As he tries to stick his tongue into my mouth too young to know what this is all about.
I grip my lips painfully tight as he tries to slip his tongue inside.
I close them tighter with all my might, as he whispers, "let me love you right"
I beg him to leave as he pried my legs open with his knees my insides scream "somebody please help me!"
As he whispers how much he loves me I'm praying for God to just kill me.
I rather be dead then a man's punching bag.
As I lay there my body was dead, and I laid my soul to rest.
I looked around the room and seen the Old Spice on the desk the same fragrance he wore around his neck.
The sun began to rise as he began to close my thighs.
In that moment in time I had made up my mind any man that ever say they love me was just telling lies.
I learned the hard way that love does not kill your inside; love does not take your pride.
A fatherless child I shall forever reside.
Every day that passes that little eight-year-old girl dies slowly inside.
Asking Jesus," Why permit this?" and he slowly whispers…as I gently whimpers, "faith is the light that guide you through the darkness, my words reflecting as a lamp unto my feet."
"Walk unto my path I'm here to carry the weak, come into me you are weary and overburdened. I will carry the pain you have obtained."
"I am your father and you are my child you are never fatherless because I'm always around."

These things happen all the time
Theres no need to lie
Just hold on to your love
Through these...

Hounds from Hell take their toll on your soul
as you walk the mainstreet of mainstream
and watch Saturn and Neptune dance to a simple tone
of silence in the outer space.
As you sit in the middle of the world
free yourself from the sense of hopelessness,
only see yourself in the mirror of deception
as your reflection laughs at you and looks right through you,
and doesn't have remorse for what it says or does to you.
Hounds from Hell take your soul,
chock you, cut of your air,
the smog and fog blind you in the city of ash.
Hear the hounds from hell howl for your soul,
go now, barracade your soul behind sins and temptation,
Alone, listening to your soul die away,
watch love go away from you, with suitcase in hand,
picture frames broken and collect dust through the sands of time.
Till the cleaning lady comes on Monday, to clean the mess
that you left behind.
You are gone, without a trace of ever returning.
Looks of the Hounds of Hell came for you and stole you from
comfort and warmth,
till the sorrowed heart cracks and pain spills out
and you look at it all spill out over the floor.
The Hounds from Hell have paid a consumable harmage to you,
and your rich soul of sorrowness burns away... slowly.
Fear darkens souls,
innocent souls burn with a new day,
a slumber that has no end
with nightmares haunting every light of hope
there is left in this desolate Wasteland.
Fear and darkness tears a hole in the darkened universe
and we all go to hell to see the Hounds,
who come for us all.
The graveyards fill,
and death guards the tombstones of the dead,
and the flowers burn away on the feet of the dead.

Emotional me
is out from my verbose head
like a winter flower with
petals, so much like
hankies of a sleepless god,
to wave in such elegance
my charm over you,
again and again, 'til your
smile, left to death by the strides
of your rococo
lover, is awakened and
becomes my choka poem

I was not alone inside my loneliness
I had company, stars flowers and birds

Love is something that I struggle with,
Trying to be loved by that right one,
But can't proceed because I'm ashamed,
Ashamed that I might not love right,
Ashamed that people may look and talk,
Ashamed of how my family would react,
Ashamed by the temptation of my life,
The temptation of my heart,
My mind is saying it's not right,
But my heart is saying yes,
Just be you.
I've tried pleasing people and giving people the world,
And I've been half pleasing back,
I know not to look for anything,
But I can't help it, when I haven't received much.
Love for me is a real struggle,
I'm being loved by someone,
Someone special to my heart,
Someone that shows me the world,
Who gives me encouraging words,
But I can't love back,
For some reason.
From now on I'm a try,
Try to love to the fullest,
I really want to love,
And be loved,
I want to feel love from my family,
Loved by the most beautiful, caring, funniest, serious at time, smart,and well talented person,
Love, love, love,
What a mystery WORD!!

Extraordinary, I am
Craving for unusual thoughts
Endless exploration without boundary
Understanding the gift I shouldn't fought
Invisible drawings in my mind
Playing with the words in my head
My passion
The food of my soul
I feel so lucky
The random thoughts
A lifetime companion
A self esteem builder
A goal planner
Be my forever life saver
I write more
I talk less
I want to please
I chose to bore
What tickles me the most
Is to know what I'm for
Thinking is my love
When my mind goes empty
That's when I hate
My day dreaming lust
Organizing things in my mind
Playing roles of simulation
Where images of art is my vision
And words of attitude is my heart
Copyright © Katrina Salem | Year Posted 2012
my heart breathes its last breath
Embraces its own death
Ready to be reborn
and made anew
Can't live a lie
Refuse to "do"
and I'll DIE....
Focus now on why I'll live
And never touch the sky.
I have to forget you
I have to reject you
But I will never love anyone
like I loved you.....
I heard you whisper
and you never knew it
I wiped the tears from your eyes
But you couldn't feel it
You're lost and you'll never find you
And neither will I
And I'm so sorry--
but I'm NOT.
I'll attempt to reset
Try to forget
But you know, I never will.
Be my dirty little secret
My very worst-kept secret
Sweet, smooth, beautiful poison
My infernal and endless attraction
towards complete and utter self-destruction
I fell in love with the devil
And it will take one heck of an angel
To save me from the likes of you....
My addiction
my confusion
my nightmare
my dream never to come true
Oh, I'll never forget the times
we never shared
I'll never forget
how you were never there
Always me, the stars, and tears
And I ask you,
what kind of life is THAT?
I have to face the facts
I don't know what happens now
but it happens without you.
The stains will always be there
the scars will never fade
But the memory of you----
it HAS to.
I could carry the torch forever
But it would only consume me
I can't cry another tear for you
Or I'll dry up completely
It doesn't affect you
and you never deserved me
You'll go on with your life, too
All, all alone
Because you'll only ever be in love
with you.

People are commonly different
Symbol of diversity piece
Pure race doesn't exists
Color and creed are just an identity
Believe only in human history
God sculptured them from clay
People are equally created
Having many opposites
But respecting others taste
When everyone is treated equal
Nothing appears but peace in hand
Discrimination, disunity and, suffering won't be born anymore

"Put on channel seven.
My Lord!! What have they done!
I can not believe it..
they killed my only son!"
Raised with respect.
Never a problem.
Worked hard as a Man.
Problems..he would solve them.
He did well in College..
He struggled..but made it through.
Held his chin up when he was down.
Gods help..guided him through.
He put down his cup of coffee.
Kissed his daughters face.
Ran to catch the bus.
To join the daily race.
On the 105th floor,
"Ding!" and he steps out.
He can already hear.
His boss's vivid shouts.
It's 9:15.
We are staring at the screen.
The worst disaster I have ever seen.
The building collapsed.
My heart went numb.
Where..Oh! Where,
is my only son?
Did he make to the office?
Lord tell me..it's not true.
God, take me instead of him!
Please help him get through.
"Where is my Daddy?"
I was staring in her eyes..
I saw it then..she realized.
"Why would they do it?
..What have they done?
I said, "We are not to hate but..
..but they have killed my only son."

Mother's dirty offender seeded life that demanded nurture, demanded attention….
Demanded unforeseen fate
Twins, thrust upon her…. strained to love, and yet….
This happening urged her to live
Her head lifted, agitated,
Soaked from head to toe in the sweat of her labors…
The sight of blood reached her tear-blurred eyes heightening the pain
As she cried…
"May I toil till love reaches the mouth of hurt he inflicted!!!"
And, as her thrashing heart ceased beating,
The dear children, were born, one screaming, one gazing…
The other's neck protruding from a little chest…
Big eyes observing, squinting, shuddering….
Mouth sputtering… and breath ceasing….
This little girl was born, a woman Mother once was—
Her death a source and justification to hate all men
A dreamy-eyed artist with yearnings driving her under,
Lips pure as newfound blossom, kissed once, though never plucked
Reaching for skies that welcomed her wishes,
Her seldom smiles brought tears to the sun
Her hair in curls of silk did bounce upon her back,
As every roving eye could not hold back,
The moist little build-up of awe…
Mouth ajar, for there lived upon this growing girl, surely…. no flaw
Save to her, tormenting imperfection….
For there… heavier and heavier everyday….the secret upon her chest—
Her poor dead brother,
Loved religiously by her martyr mother
Whom she hid under layers of clothes with much shame,
Never to reveal to the men who yearned to see her
Brother was always there, staring into the void,
A tumor child, shriveled, though gazing
A wretched burden to the girl now woman,
Her heart pounding with unanswered questions…
"Father..." She whispered, alone.
"Salt upon the wound, worthless is one consumed,
By death dangling upon my very chest…
I cannot live life like the rest,
The pretty girls of age, with plump and polished breast,
With skin revealed so freely,
Smiles countless, and genuinely……….
See, when a woman is just a woman,
Her opportunities are as easy as her grin,
And her future is clear as her flawless skin…
She bears no little boy attached to her heated body,
She enjoys little frivolous walks in arms she trusts…
Chance seemingly on their side…
Chance with me, dying, where Brother has died…
My heart could not bear to remove Brother,
Though even death I do not fear….
Father, I ask…now why,
Why am I here…?
And why are they gone?
All of them….Mother….Brother…..and…. him…."
Standing up, her face hardened
She put on her clothes and makeup, as was her routine,
And with a multicolored scarf she wrapped around her neck and chest
Covering the outline of her ever-gazing Brother
She could not think away from the scarf…
From what was gazing under…
And upon meeting another,
Anxiety raided her every being…
So afraid….and so unsure….
We are born,
Either man, or woman…
Acceptance of one another's differences and flaws
Reduces fear of self, replenishes the soul
And love, above all,
Must meander through complications, defects, and serendipity
With a grace only leading one to fulfillment and happiness

< Early morning,
Its rainy and dark,
Quit dull,
Cloudy and gray,
Emotions flowing not,
So dim and sadden,
Stuck in a zone,
Feeling all alone,
Suddenly blacken,
Now dressed in lace,
And black satin,
Emotions flowing all over,
Yet still lost,
Dazed and amazed,
Felt crushed pancake flatten......>

Up into the sky
he soared
like an Angel
With us
down here--
at Soupland, watching him as he soared
like an Angel;
So gentle…
and brave
he was,
a strong love he had, sharing it till the end, yet
His breath
could not resist the resounding call
of Heaven
and he left,
Leaving us his poetry, for
when great storms come in, his laughter
will dry our tears like rain.
for Tom Bell, a great poet who taught us all--
to laugh and to smile…to learn… and to give.

I'm a man, just simply a man;
once a child with no other distinction.
I am neither your first son, nor last.
I cannot alter what God has planned,
nor stop sun to shine,
nor stop the rain he's cast.
So, I seek a solution to the paradigm
of angst and joy of life,
of the person I should be now.
Though life's full of mystery and of misery,
you were there to give me hope and dignity,
no wonder I always love to be with you.
But, when God decided...
we couldn't say, "No!"
You left me with his everlasting glory.
As time passes, I realize the greatness of
love and joy on the day of my friend's son,
I became like you, a loving godfather.

Come and visit me in a dream,
And tell me how you are,
Are you floating on a cloud?
Have you found the brightest star?
I know you're with us somewhere,
Even though you can't be seen,
Painting the bluest sky,
Or among the grass so green.
As I'm wandering through the park,
Looking up at the trees,
Daydreaming of the joy you brought,
Will you visit me please?
Just send me a little sign,
White feathers on the breeze,
To let me know you're happy, free
And put my mind at ease.
Or ask a passing stranger,
With twinkling brown eyes,
A cheeky smile, and baldy head,
To nod as he passes by.
Or maybe play a special song,
Loud, on my radio,
That could have been written just for you,
About all the love we've known.
Come visit me in a dream,
And tell me how you are,
I know you're there, a floating cloud,
And one of the brightest stars.

See how you left me
Just see how you kept me
A lonely canoe paddler
In turbulent and windy waters
Let me go into oblivion
For i am lost in nowhere
Yea! Let my memory be swallowed
In total and unrepentant coma.
I am not blind yet i cannot see
I am healthy yet very sick
Because you left me with nothing
Gasping for strength in solitude
I turn left, its emptiness i feel
My right holds darkness in daylight
My foot knocks in utter fear, for
Pain has become my friend
You left carrying my love unreturned
Wearing the hood of a stranger
Uttering dark and piercing words
As you sail away to strangeness
Oh just see how you left me
A proverb before many mouths
A walking flesh without bones
Just see how you left me

A place still lies
Lonely and untouched
Every night it cries
Seeking for its walls to be patched
A place still lies
But dead in its self
With broken memories
And an empty shelf
I struggle to find myself
In the midst of all the strife
But above me a cloud of darkness
So thick, full of sadness
The place will still lie
But not utter a cry
It shall continue to die
Because no one asked why

Tell me just what would you do?
Would you match my heart with yours
Or would you leave me lost and torn?
What if you found you felt the same
And had only fate to blame?
Tell me just how far would you reach
For you to prove that love to me?
I am but a man
With love in mind and heart at hand.
Would you take this gift from me
In your hands or set it free?
All of these questions fill my mind,
But I know my deeds will come back in my own time.
And still I wonder why I can find no sympathy in these lines.
Tell me why, these thoughts have consumed life.
Sometimes I wonder, sometimes I wonder.
If chose to walk away
Would you beg me to stay?
Would you run after me
If I felt I had to leave?
Or would stay behind
And carry on with your own life?
Could you forget just what we had
And send me off to some unknown land?
As a memory I would have to stay.
Sometimes I wonder if
It would be better of that way.
Sometimes I wonder why
I can't find sympathy in these lines.
Still I wonder why: I am but a man
With love in mind and heart at hand.
All of these questions fill my mind.
But I know my deeds will come back in my own time.
And still I wonder why I can find no sympathy in these lines.
Tell me why, these thoughts have consumed life.
I still wonder why with love in mind and heart and hand.

I've been judged by the color of my skin
Treated like i'm a nothing,a nobody
Called by many a name:a fool, a nothing,not even a human
But i continue to rise
They hate me for who i am
They try their best to put me down
They try to fill my heart with despair
But yet i still continue to rise
Every chance they get,its to cause me hurt
They look at me like i'm some kind of abomination
They constantly seek my extermination
But i still continue to rise
Do they hate me for just being me
That i don't follow the crowds,or go with their flow
The fact that i'm different from them
The fact that i don't do the same things they do.
And as if that wasn't enough
My own race at times shun me, and criticize each other
Their constanly going against one another,son against father,daughter against mother
Sometimes i feel trapped in this malice
Smothered in this constant hatery of the races
We all must try to seek freedom and redemption
This is why i must continue to rise
I offer prayers to those in need of prayers
I shed a tear for the fallen and broken,watching the tears become a river
Can you people see this black youth's tears
All i can do now is pray for peace,hope,and better days
In fact,let me say a prayer in hopes of better days
For these reasons i'm gonna continue to rise
I want to say peace and love to people in the east,west,north,and south.
To lift them all out of misery,sorrow,and doubt
R.I.P. and love to those who've come and gone.
Good luck and better days to those who've yet to be born.
R.I.P. to my people who're no longer here.
Love to those who're fighting for a better future
But until the day that i can see you all again
I will continue to live,continue to dream
Through all the pain,sadness,and rain.
The sun will shine one day again.
And we'll hold hands and watch hope rise
Which is why for that I WILL STILL CONTINUE TO RISE..

Someone who looks just like me
Is going to come to call,
I need you to ignore them
Cause they're not me at all.
They walk in desperation
And easily are swayed,
So if they say they love you,
They won't by the next day.
So when they knock, don't answer,
Or bar the door with wood;
Avoid this person at all costs --
Because I never could.
Almost three years now Daddy
since you were taken away
I thank God you no longer suffer
but I had so much more to say
But you and I were always very close
and I know that we still are
So be free to enjoy family and friends
I know you'll never be far
Oh but Daddy
Did I remember to thank you
for coming to stay with the kids and I
At times you thought you were a burden
but if anyone was it was I
And I want to tell you too Daddy
that you would be so proud of them all
Brandon's now a sergeant with a son on the way
Cam Jeremy is due early fall
And your little Sarah Daddy
you would be so very proud
She's a tiny little thing, still a great mom
and has the best boys in any crowd
And I'm sure you've been watching Curtis
So you know he's just like you
And he is living up to the promise he made
Yes Daddy I'm very proud too
Oh and one more thing
before I lay down to rest
Did I remember to tell you and the world
My Daddy's the best
Loving you and missing you always
Your baby girl

I open my eyes
to another day
as the sun climbs
I fade away
im carried to a place where i feel no pain
carried to a time before you went away
I still feel you close, feel you here
in this life we chose its all so clear
when I remember you, remember you
I close my eyes
from another day
as the moon blinds
I fade away
im carried to a place where i feel no pain
carried to a time before you went away
I still feel you close, feel you here
in this life we chose its all so clear
when I remember you, remember you
