The NFL draft weekend has wrapped up and the Oakland Raiders along with the Raider Nation should be very excited about the 2014 Raiders' draft class. Raiders fans have had to deal with too many bad experiences on draft weekend. Rarely are they ever excited about their draft class and then they have to hear how bad their drafting and team is in the media. That's not the case in 2014.
This draft class for the Raiders has a solid mixture of players that can make an immediate impact right away and players that will be a part of their foundation for years to come. The Raiders came into this draft with many short-term and long-term holes on their roster that needed to be filled. It was important for them to be true to their board and always pick the best player available.
When your team has a lot of needs, like the Raiders did, a lot of the players you draft will fill needs anyway. So taking the best player on your board is the only way to go. As you fill your roster and have certain positions set, you can focus more directly on drafting for need later. However, with free agency and injuries it's always a good thing to have some good players buried in your depth chart.
When I looked at the Raiders roster heading into the draft I felt that they needed to find a quarterback and bulk up on both sides of the line of scrimmage. They also needed to add some depth at the secondary position, especially at cornerback. This draft just happened to fall in a way that gave Oakland almost exactly what they needed.
Many felt the Raiders needed a wide receiver, but the draft never fell in a way that allowed the Raiders to take one. I also have confidence in their current group of wide receivers. Rod Streater, James Jones, Denarius Moore and Andre Holmes should have good years for Oakland. Now that the Raiders have added Matt Schaub and Derek Carr as well as improved their offensive line and running game, they should see better production from their receivers.
This is an exciting time for the Raider Nation and the Raiders franchise. Their top two picks from 2013 missed the majority of the offseason and the season last year due to injuries. So in 2014 they'll have two first-rounders and two second-rounders entering their first offseason healthy and ready to contribute. They've also added several veterans that can come in and produce in 2014. This team isn't as bad as some people out there want you to think. Watch out for the Raiders in 2014.
Let's recap the draft and what it means for the team moving forward.

Cheesehead In Love
Because you needed further proof being the star quarterback is a miserable life, Aaron Rodgers is reportedly dating Olivia Munn.
According to US Magazine the Packers star is dating the Newsroom star and the pair were spotted at Nobu Malibu with friends while acting "like quite the couple."
Curious what that means? Try "laughed with friends" and "stole kisses" on for size if you want specifics.
Munn and Rodgers previously hung after the two presented together at the American Country Music Awards. US notes they were spotted backstage hanging then as well.
Munn, who plays Sloan Sabbith on HBO's Newsroom, recently broke up with Joel Kinnaman of Robocop fame.

Re: Bill Witt Sensei Quote
This might be a good contrast - (I think it is, but) maybe not - still, either way, it's worth quoting:
By Ellis Amdur (many thanks)
"There is a beautiful Hassidic story which I'll try to paraphrase without the names, which I've forgotten. A present day teacher says, "The 1st master went into the forest and sang the songs and said the prayers. His student lost the way to the forest, but he remembered the songs and said the prayers, and it was enough. His student forgot the songs but remember the prayers and it was enough. We no longer know our way to the forest and we have forgotten the songs, and we say the prayers, but no longer remember the exact words, and it is enough"
In my opinion, when thinking of the incredible vitality of the original Hassidism, and comparing it to the schlerotic, narrow, rigid fanaticism of today's sects, it is not enough. The teacher is responsible to teach, and the students responsible NOT to be satisfied to have such a wonderful teacher, so that the prayers, the songs and the way to the forest are preserved. To make it obvious, I see aikido in the same light."

By Etch22

Easy to click in and out, solid connection, and the right amount of float. This is my second set of these pedals. Not the lightest, but solidly built and dependable.

Good choice
By Lori
from Twin Falls Idaho
Easy to install and clip in and out of. Good for a first time user of clips as well as more experienced riders. I felt confident using these clips and glad I got them.
By Tim S.
from Irvine CA.
I use theses for daily rides. They are easy to get in and out of. Much better than the more expensive Look pedals. A big bonus to these is they are also easier to walk in that other pedals. I have to walk my bike up and down stairs to my apartment. Other shoes I would have to wait until I was down, then take them off to go back up. These are very stable.
Solid starter pedal
By Show33
from Carver, MA
See all my reviews
I got these for my cyclocross bike, didn't want to spend too much and wasn't concerned about weight. Read customer reviews and these seemed to have many features of more expensive models at cheaper price. For what I wanted these are perfect...would I put them on my more expensive road bike? Probably not, but I would definitely go with a Shimano model after this experience. The cleat system is easy to use and feels sturdy and comfortable. Nice wide platform. Easy to install, good directions. Easy to adjust tension on clip. Haven't had them too long but very impressed so far. Good value for money
Love 'em
By DJ
from Phoenix, AZ
Love the SPD design. The large contact pad feels much more comfortable than some of the smaller cleats available.
Very nice pedals
By Spokey8
from Spokane WA
These pedals come with very nice cleats. I have used the pedals only with my turbo trainer as it is winter. They clip in and out VERY smoothly and hold clipped in very well. I am very eager to go for a good ride.
Great Value Pedals
By Laurido92
from Charlotte, NC
These pedals are great for the price. I've had two pairs of them. They are great for newbies getting into cycling as well as seasoned riders. I know a lot of riders will say that they are heavy but that doesn't really concern me. They are durable and are well made. They just work! You can adjust the tension to allow easy clip on/off as needed. Won't find a better set of pedals for the price.
I agree and have given these pedals to friends learning
By mike

There is no better pedal at this price point . I have raced successfully with these pedals for years and find that i replace them for cosmetic reasons ( scuff marks ) rather than because they wear out .

European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi got aggressive Thursday, announcing fresh stimulus measures to boost the eurozone's flagging economy, including interest rate cuts and the start of a program to purchase asset-backed securities and other bonds.
Following the ECB's surprise statement that it was lowering a key interest rate to a fresh record low of 0.05% from 0.15%, Draghi said in a press conference that the ECB will also start to buy asset-backed securities and covered bonds from eurozone banks next month. He did not specify the size of the asset purchases, which would put more cash in banks' hands, with the hope of stimulating lending. The move, which Draghi outlined in a speech last month in Jackson Hole, Wyo., and which he said today was in response to "overall subdued outlook for inflation and weakening economic momentum," is step that global investors had been hoping for — although it fell short of the most aggressive policy Wall Street was hoping for, which is the purchase of government bonds.
Wall Street fears that a deflationary-like outcome in Europe, similar to that suffered by Japan, could undermine the global recovery and hurt the profits of U.S. companies that do a lot of business in Europe.
Many Wall Street pundits expect today's move by the ECB to be a precursor to a U.S.-style program to buy government bonds, an unconventional strategy dubbed quantitative easing, and a move that many on Wall Street think is necessary. Draghi, in a Twitter post, did not rule out such a move. He said quantitative easing or QE was discussed.
Draghi also said that some members of the ECB wanted to be more aggressive, but others balked.
Also Thursday, the ECB also slashed the interest rate on deposits further into negative territory, with the rate on deposits being lowered to a negative 0.20%, from -0.10%. A negative interest rate means depositors pay the ECB to hold their cash. It is a move designed by central banks to spur risk-taking and get European consumer banks to lend more readily.
Draghi, however, said banks shouldn't expect more rate cuts.
Draghi also lowered economic growth forecasts for the eurozone for the rest of 2014 and next year.
"ECB policymakers are attempting to ward off deflation and jumpstart the eurozone economy," says Alex Epstein, an analyst at Schaeffer's Investment Research.
Asset-back securities are packages of loans issued by banks to investors. The goal of the ECB is to buy those securities from banks, leaving banks with a wad of cash that could be put to better use, such as issuing loans.
The ECB's move on rates weighed on the euro, which fell to a 14-month low of 1.3005 vs. the U.S. dollar.
"The euro plunged to fresh yearly lows and tested the critical $1.30 mark versus the U.S. dollar," said David Rodriguez, quantitative strategist at DailyFX. "Few analysts expected the ECB would move on interest rates and even less expected that ECB President Mario Draghi would announce the start of (asset purchases). Thus the euro fell sharply lower across the board, but questions remain how much lower it may go."
Ever since Draghi's speech at Jackson Hole last month, "market expectations are running high again" and markets are "increasingly pricing in further easing of monetary policy," a trio of economists and central bank watchers at Barclays told clients on the eve of the meeting.
In his Jackson Hole speech, Draghi hinted strongly that if inflation continues to fall and the economy continues to slow, a U.S.-style "government bond" buying program might need to be deployed. The Fed, of course, is winding down its third round of bond buying, which includes purchases of U.S. Treasuries. The Fed policy is known as quantitative easing, or QE.
"We don't think the tipping point has been reached," Barclays said, adding that the ECB is more likely to announce QE closer to the end of the year or early next year.
Citing progress, investment manager Luke Bartholomew of Aberdeen Asset Management offered his views on the ECB's moves today.
"For years the ECB has been very slow to react and often frustrated markets," Bartholomew says. "But in the face of dire and clearly worsening economic indicators Draghi has actually gone beyond markets' expectations today. The frustration is that it has taken so long with inflation having already fallen so low, but it is certainly progress. Despite the fact that today's announcement was not unanimous, resistance to Draghi within the council is clearly receding as the European recovery wilts."

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — And on the second-to-last day of spring training, good health at last shined upon the Mets.
"We've got a one-day streak going," general manager Sandy Alderson said after yesterday's 7-6 victory over the Yankees in front of 7,644 fans, a new record for Digital Domain Park.
His quip underscored a bright end to the team's stay at their complex this spring. For the first time all spring, manager Terry Collins was able to put out his full lineup. The group bombarded Yankees starter Ivan Nova to open the day, and Ike Davis launched a tape-measure homer for a walkoff victory.
In his return to the Grapefruit League after two weeks away, center fielder Andres Torres (calf strain) roped a first-inning single and scored soon after. Lefty specialist Tim Byrdak (meniscus tear) completed a scoreless inning, and closer Frank Francisco (sore knee) threw a pain-free bullpen.
They will play once more, a tilt in Tampa with the Yankees this afternoon, before flying to New York for tomorrow's opener with Atlanta. But they bused out of Port St. Lucie and across the state on an upbeat note.
"It was nice to see everybody out there," Alderson said. "As we've come to understand over the last couple years, it's hard to predict injuries, how long they will last. So we're happy they're back."
Hampered by injuries last spring, Collins never had that opportunity. He barely improved upon that milestone this season. But the 25-man roster is set heading into the last day of spring training, with reliever Daniel Herrera and infielder Vinny Rottino sent to Triple A.
The starters will play together once more, for a few innings, today. Yet earlier in the day, the Mets were still unsure if they could use their complete lineup.
"We like to post the lineup early, and we couldn't even do that until we got all the things in place this morning," Collins said. "Talking to the trainers, talking to the players. Sandy and I met (about) the ramifications if something should happen."
In the end, the team decided that, as Alderson said, "but our feeling was that if they got hurt (yesterday) or (today) or Opening Day, it didn't make any difference. They were probably going to be a couple weeks, anyway."
So Torres and Byrdak played. They joined a group that has been slowly recovering full strength. The lineup scored five runs against Nova in his 2⅔ innings of work.
David Wright, who missed time due to a rib strain, swatted two hits and worked a walk in his three plate appearances. Lucas Duda, who missed almost a week with back stiffness, rapped two more hits. And Davis, who contracted a lung infection called Valley Fever, provided the finishing blow.
"It was awesome," Davis said. "We just showed some things we can do. We can put some innings together, and we can hit. I think we're pretty strong from top to bottom."
As Davis' blast soared over the center-field fence, the dugout and clubhouse erupted. For a camp that was so often tense, here was a bit of joy on the last day in town.
"There were smiles on all our coaches' faces today," Collins said. "Because we finally ran our team out there on the field."

Guest blogger Mark Raymond of Swartz Creek chimes in several times a week. Here's his latest:
Mark's Musings
Now, here's a kid who can do something I'll never be able to do.
A lot of people have been retiring from the office where my wife works and one day the staff was having another luncheon for them. As everyone piled into a few cars for the short trip to the
restaurant, they realized the giant balloon they had purchased - with the words "Gone But Not Forgotten" - would not fit into their vehicle. So they just held onto the string tight and let it dangle through the window and outside the car as they drove.
My wife and the others in her car, however, were hardly prepared for all of the glares they received from drivers in the other cars. And there was an awful lot of traffic that day.
All was revealed as the long line of cars in front of them turned a corner.
Turns out they had been following a funeral procession.
[Pastor Tim's Cybersalt Digest]
WORD for YOUR WEEK: General Ambrose Everett Burnside was a Civil War military figure. He wasn't a very good strategist, apparently, but was well-liked and eventually went into politics. He wore long mutton-chop style whiskers down the side of his face and they eventually became known as, you guessed it, "sideburns."

Garden City Beach and Murrells Inlet veterans organizations are gearing up for this weekend's commemoration of Memorial Day.
VFW Post 10420 has two days of events scheduled.
On Friday, at 9 a.m., the post will join with students at Belin Memorial United Methodist Church school to place American flags on the graves of veterans and take part in a graveside service.
The students have been practicing the Pledge of Allegiance and patriotic songs and activities.
On Monday, the official Memorial Day, at noon, the post will rededicate its Fallen Heroes Memorial, the granite monument that holds the names of South Carolinians who have lost their lives in the war on terror.
The monument, the brainchild of the post's deputy commander Darryl Hammond, is the only one of its kind and was officially dedicated on Veterans Day 2013, with 109 names.
The post is selling bricks at $50 each to be placed in front of the memorial.
Proceeds from the brick sale will help with landscaping around the memorial.
Ed Piotrowski, chief weathercaster at WPDE, will be the guest speaker at the ceremony.
American Legion Post 178 in the Inlet turns its attention to helping Wounded Warriors on Monday.
At 8:30 a.m., an expected 84 Wounded Warriors from the Washington, D.C., area are scheduled to attend a breakfast buffet at the post.
The post's official Memorial Day service starts at 11 a.m. with Lloyd Woods, the state's Department of the American Legion adjutant, scheduled as the guest speaker.

The following is a letter to the editor that was sent to the Kalamazoo Gazette.
Cole Herndon, Oklahoma City, Okla.
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the death of Harold Edwin Mongraw from Kalamazoo, who was one of the first to die out of about 1,800 U.S. military killed during the recapture of Guam during World War II.
On Dec. 10, 1941, Guam became the first American community to be occupied by a foreign military ever since the British occupation of Detroit during the War of 1812. For two and a half years, the people of Guam were subjected to forced labor, torture, beheadings and rape by the Japanese military. The recapture of this western Pacific island became crucial to ending the war, because Guam was within striking distance of Japan with the newly-introduced Boeing B-29 Superfortress heavy bomber.
On June 12, 1944, squadron VT-1 aboard the USS Yorktown (CV-10) launched nine TBM Avenger torpedo bombers against the Japanese airfield on Guam. Aviation Radioman First Class Mongraw and his two crewmembers were shot down by enemy anti-aircraft fire. One eyewitness report stated that "they went down like a flaming comet." The plane and aircrew were never recovered.
On July 21, 36,000 American troops began landing on Guam, and the battle lasted for three weeks. Over 18,000 Japanese troops were killed; 1,250 were taken prisoner by August 1945. The last Japanese soldier emerged from the jungle in 1972.
According to the 1940 census and the Internet, Harold Mongraw was born about 1921 to Clarence and Henrietta who lived on 216 John Street Court. Harold attended Kalamazoo Central High School which lost 160 former students during World War II.
The people of Guam are very grateful to the Mongraw family and celebrate annually with a Liberation Day parade that can be watched on YouTube.

Nokia: Windows Phone Success Based on Great Portfolio, Marketing -- Not "Silver Bullet"
Tiffany Kaiser

Chris Weber
(Source: bloomberg.com)
Launching major apps helps, too
doesn't have any tricks up its sleeve when it comes to attempts at grabbing market share in the mobile sector -- just a great portfolio.
According to Nokia EVP of Sales and Marketing Chris Weber, Nokia is taking all the necessary steps to build a firm foundation instead of using a "silver bullet" product to launch the company into good mobile standings.
"I don't think there's a silver bullet," said Weber. "It's the portfolio, it's great marketing to make sure people are aware of the capabilities, and it's making sure that the apps are there. The apps that we have, we have to make sure that they're as good as -- and in many cases better than -- what you get on the competitive platform. So you know, improving things like Facebook, bringing the next release of Skype, WhatsApp, et cetera."
Weber said that the addition of these major apps is just one aspect that will secure Windows Phone's future. Nokia's wide variety of products in its device portfolio is another big win for the company because it ranges from budget phones to high-end devices. This ensures that there's a product -- whether it be smartphone or tablet -- that can fit anyone's needs and price points.
For instance, Nokia introduced both the
budget Lumia 1320 and high-end Lumia 1520
smartphones earlier this week. The massive 1520 sits at 6 inches in display size and packs a quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor that runs at 2.2GHz and is coupled with 2GB of RAM. The low-end 1320 features a 1.7GHz dual-core Snapdragon 400 processor with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage. The 1520 will run you an unsubsidized price of $750 while the 1320 is only $339 (unsubsidized).
On the tablet side of things, Nokia announced the 10.1-inch
Lumia 2520
Windows RT tablet. It features a Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor running at 2.2 GHz and will ship in Q4 starting at $499 before taxes and subsidies.

Steam Trek
Steam Trek - an enterprising individual has masterfully melded two classic SF genres, Star Trek and Steampunk. The result is a wonderful universe with a rich history where Her Majesty's Aether Ships explore the solar system and protect the United Kingdom of Planets. Long live Queen Victoria, and may her glorious reign continue as it has for the past 165 years! (preserved by Lunar Selenite technology captured from the evil Moon-dwellers).
The steam-powered drum machine
The steam-powered drum machine - an astonishing extract from the journal of Charles Franklin, the founder of the London Museum of Techno. Written in 1894, Franklin describes a steam-powered drum machine and what may have been the world's first rave. "Driven by the thunderous rhythms of Hoovenaars tremendous "drum machine" the crowd - academics and dockers, architects and cobblers - were whipped into a frenzy, dancing and screaming like savages until sunrise, when the Machine finally ground to a halt with a suffering hiss."
Steampunk (alternate) is surging. With the recent works of China Mieville (and his creation of New Crobuzon) and Phillip Pullman (His Dark Materials) and Alan Moore, inspired by the works of H.G. Wells and Jules Verne, there is a new growing fascination with this genre typified by Victorian Anachronism, an alternate history in which technology is overwrought and fantastic. Think Leonardo's machines (though not Victorian), Victorian Robots (prev. mefi thread), The Babbage Engine. 19th Century Science.

A: I've seen that on most 'Dragon Lady' hollies in my travels. These make great upright evergreens (one of my favorites, actually), but they don't seem to be one of the best fruiters.
Like you, I've noticed that most 'Dragon Ladies' seem to have a decent amount of green fruit in late spring, but come late summer, not many are left to turn red.
That leads me to believe there's a genetic predisposition for 'Dragon Lady' to drop most of its fruit – similar to how many fruit trees naturally thin themselves in order to produce fewer but bigger and healthier remaining mature fruits. (Fruit-growers call it the "June drop.")
If that's correct, there's nothing you can do about that.
A second possibility is that the green fruits aren't completely pollinated. 'Dragon Lady' is a hybrid female that needs a compatible nearby male to pollinate its flowers. 'Blue Stallion' and 'Blue Prince' are two good ones for that.
It's possible that you're getting enough pollination to form fruits, but the process isn't happening thoroughly enough that the fruits can make it to maturity. With poor pollination, developing fruits will abort and drop.
Adding a 'Blue Stallion' or 'Blue Prince' nearby (if you don't already have one) might help with this, although it could be a genetic flaw of 'Dragon Lady' that it's just weak in the pollen-accepting department.
A third explanation could be some kind of stress, especially drought or a sudden heat wave at pollination time or poor soil nutrition.
Those would more likely explain bad fruiting in some years instead of having a drop happen every year.
You could run a soil test to see where you stand with the major nutrients and acid level of the soil. For good measure, give the plant a good soaking during hot, dry spells.

I have a user account that can no longer log into Citrix. When he connects to the server he is asked to enter his credentials (which is normal), and upon doing so it acts like it's going to log him in, but instead it just goes to a blank blue screen. No desktop icons, no start button or task bar. Nothing. I can't right-click the background to bring up any menu(s). I don't even see his account connection listed in the Management Console, so it looks like the connection isn't fully connecting. It's really strange.
While I was on vacation this past week the user said that when he logged in there was an error message but he didn't feel the need to read it or write it down, so he just clicked 'OK', and now ever since he has been unable to log in.
I figured I'd just delete his profile folder and then log him in and recreate it, but the folder/files are in use so I can't, and rebooting the server to unlock those files isn't an option right now. As far as his account is concerned, his group memberships haven't changed and he's not locked out. I really wish I knew what that error was, but you know how it goes.
Does this issue ring a bell with anybody? Others can log in with no issue, and I can log myself in just fine as well.

We have this issue with sessions hanging and not logging the user off properly. You may want to go into Terminal Services Manager and end/reset the user's session. This should reset his login and allow him to work normally.
We have implemented a solution for this that after a set amount of time, the disconnected user session automatically terminates.

just disconnect his session from terminal services manager

Thanks for the quick response guys. That did the trick, and I'll remember this for in the future. Been here three years now and this is the first time I've run into this.

We have the similar issue, we have a win 7 laptop in which when we log in to citrix session it just comes up with a blank blue screen, we have already rebuild the laptop, but still getting the same issue, however when we log on to the citrix session with the same user account in a different PC it worked fine there.

These Beach Allah poems are examples of Beach poems about Allah. These are the best examples of Beach Allah poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
If you don't find the poem you want here, try our incredible, super duper, all-knowing, advanced poem search engine.
While you sleep I tell you all of the things I keep inside throughout day.
Now that you can hear but not listen I find them much easier to say.
My hopes, my dreams, my fears, and everything in between
Your subconscious hears so keen, or so it seems.
My tongue is soft; I speak so sweetly
Knowing your reaction will never greet me.
Tonight will be different in what I want you to know.
It has everything to do with what I can't help but show.
I hold no claim to any religion but you've given me a place for my faith.
Somewhere it will never stale or lose its lavish taste.
You've shown me something I can see, touch, and feel,
And so before it I choose to kneel.
I know I don't say it but I miss you every day.
Sitting, thinking of the perfect words to be my choice,
Yet when you call I can't find any of the right words to say.
I'm just happy to finally hear your voice.
Even just a moment is enough to sooth my heavy heart;
Fearing the ends of conversations knowing we'll have to part.
I'll never be too far from you, always within arm's reach,
And in your days of darkness I'll be the light that you will seek.
I'll never let you leave too far from me, I'll stay close behind you in this world;
Secretly protecting what is mine, you will always be my girl.
I only want the best for you so the best of me I will employ.
Faithfully yours, I will always be your boy.
I close my eyes and kiss your soft sweet lips
And see the very best of you in loving bliss.
I see past the physical which makes you attractive
And focus on the things I can't see in which I'm attracted.
Your thoughts I'd love to hear them all.
Of the things you speak disinterest never makes its call.
My day will come, I know someday I'll be the only one.
And you I will pursue viciously,
Because I've given you the greatest gift I can give, to love unconditionally.
Yes our day will come, I know someday we'll be as one.
And you I will pursue viciously,
Because I've given you the greatest gift I can give… to love unconditionally.

As tears flow from my reddened eyes
I can see what I have purely missed
As I look up to the dark grey skies
I will always remember our first fist
I sit here and think of your face
The first time I saw your light fluffy cheeks
I always wanted to lay my head on that place
Even when I was buried in my girlfriend's twin peaks.
You never knew my love for you
I waited until it was too late
I often yearned for a way through
Both your heart and your front gate.
But now you've passed away
Slipped through my limp and lifeless fingers
But I still yearn for that fortuitous day
And the smell of your tobacco colour coat still lingers.
As I stare at my homage dedicated to you
I can feel a heart shaped hole called 'Noah'
My body is conflicted, I don't know what to do
It's such a shame that you were found in pieces underneath a lawnmower.
So many holes, and opportunities now
I feel my body grow harder
For you Noah would only allow
One hole to be ventured in farther
As you led there erotically
on the grass that day
with your legs so lovely
I couldn't take my eyes away
So I didn't see
The lawnmower draw near
The blades running free
And beginning to career
Ever closer to your toes
To impoverish your heart
I'm the only one who knows
How a love like this does start
To think I won't see you again
Striding majestically down the Bath Road
And, protecting your shoulders from the rain
Your little tobacco coloured coat
I wish I had been able to say
All this to you when you were alive
I came so close once, that fateful day
When we were standing outside the Beehive
Your hair was golden in the glow
Of the solitary standing streetlamp
Yet still, you couldn't ever know
My feeling for you or my heart would cramp
And now you're dead you selfish thing
You'll never hear me speak these thoughts
You'll never feel me 'flap my wings'
Or ogle me as I cavort
But now you're in the ground
In the darkness and despair
But I have now created a mound
Where I can collect your hair
My heart is soaked in liquid salt
My clothes cling to my body
Although I know that it's no-one fault
Staring at you was my favourite hobby
Now it's time to say goodbye
My lovely little pet
My heart still yearns, my eyes still cry
Although we never met

Reflections of imperfections
have shown me a way
that I can move mountains
through my power of faith
even though I can't see him
I know he is real
through the power of prayer
and a Love that I feel
It's growing inside me
like a flower in bloom
shall I reveal my powers
or is it too soon
I am reading the signs
through my darkness I find
a reason for belief in
the light of mankind
that I know shall overcome
the greatest of odds
the Love I seek amazes me
especially through the flaws
because now I am inspired
through the hero's that bring
my throne through the darkness
on which I return on as your King.

Love is a wonder
shared by one another
it's the only reason
I'm not six feet under
Love in which I believe
in a will to sustain
I give back to life, now
in dormant states of pain
The power of Love
may not alone be enough
locked inside my dreams
escape only from above
higher than any human being
has ever gone before
I must have evolved
rise above hate, great once more
My Father taught me wisdom
I am imprisoned no longer
now an beast not of burden
I am no lion, I am stronger
on my shoulder sits twin dragons
long awaiting the day
evil forces come forth to
take what Love is left, away
A Hero of Love light
are what the world needs
angels, not demons
exist where ever you believe
follow your heart's direction
and you shall achieve
objects of affection
rid of materialistic greed
My bright energy
has awakened to a fire
never consuming the source
as the flames just grow higher
that is the desire
of a product we call Love
Fear, the counterpart
what I was once made of
I am slowly learning
how to win when my peace
is harder to sharpen
so I have given my pen leave
the sword has its uses
I must say I believe
to vanquish the evil
in the minds too diseased
to serve any purpose
except their own selfish ones
tomorrow a new day
in the clarity of the sun
where we two are now one
and one done now does
bring about a great change
lit by the righteousness of Love.
Who am I?
Am I defined by what is near in sight?
Am I defined by what I have done,
Or am I defined by what I could become?
Perhaps I'm of no use.
To him, or her, or I, nor you.
Or perhaps I'm too misunderstood to be defined,
And it is something like understanding that comes in time.
And if to the world I'm never shown,
Yet in my own light I've grown and grown,
And so I can know no happiness but my own--
The reason for my smile, to you, will forever be unknown.
I do not pray for the world to know my name.
For it and verse; the letters are the same.
And if a man should find his sorrow in what he reads,
I pray his pain my words to keep.
Should his eyes rain on my page,
Better tears than storms of rage.
And if a man should find his sorrow in what he reads.
I pray his pain my words to keep.
And if to the world you're never shown,
Yet in your own light you've grown and grown,
And so you know no happiness but your own.
Let the reason for your smile, to you, only be known.

The Apple PASTURE
Oh how I long
To drift into the apple pasture.
Were once was and all well meet.
A pure and dear site.
Where silver reflection cover the still waters that holds the golden
grains of morality and the grazing souls lie young amounce no stars.
Oh how I long
To drift into the apple pasture
Were winds smell of melon and the trees whisper spring corals in the mellow dark and best of light and time creeps into no tomorrow.

What is Layag Sug?
How come you're not answering?
Why are you asking?
For me to know
Why, isn't it a bully to me?
No. I'm just plainly asking.
Why is it so hard for you to answer?
I don't know why the question arises now.
I suddenly realize I don't know the meaning of it.
Aha for you what is it?
What is Layag Sug?
Is it a signature to every statement you make?
Or a line you share with someone?
Being a signature to every statement
It is also a line to share to make Sulu familiar with people today
So what is Layag Sug?
What do you think?
I don't know a Sulu boat?
What do you think?
You can share what it is so we could explore
I will give you my meaning
After you give interpretation
You're not answering are you?
Just say so if you're not
I don't have the entire night waiting
Layag Sug is about my life
Longing for the independence of beloved homeland Sulu
Literally Sulu Sail!
That's Layag Sug seen through my lens of thought
And my experience in life!
A poem made to explain the meaning of Layag Sug through the question of Sulu Gypsy. 12:44AM, 9 March 2013, Sandakan, Sabah, Malaysia. Let Us All Save Peace. Layag Sug!

Reflections in the mirror
were getting scary
I could not carry
the weight of my pain
it almost took my life
to learn to love again
for I have made a friend
somewhere along my long lost way
I hope that I helped him
just a fraction of how he helped me
maybe that single thought
is what finally gave me my peace
enough to release so much
stolen energy
Now I am not afraid
to walk where the streets are hot
for I thrive in Hell's kitchen
where the devil stirs my pot
for I now have him quiet tame
I sacrificed my dragons
at the alter of my name
and now you are my slaves
any time I need
I'll call upon my superhero's
to come and rescue me
like my Saint Toni
who swept me off that bridge
and showed my how a death can be
the greatest reason to live
for she was the seed to grow my Eden
then a man from a foreign land
gave me something in myself to believe in
the magik of Love.
A full moon night
to my delight
what is so wrong
with doing what's right
nothing is right
after so long
no use in complaining
time to move on
The Dream Water one day
might take me away
farther from the comfort
of familiarity
I float on my back
then shut my eyes
my body now sinking
into ocean arms open wide
Now swallow your son
back to his nature
when he is no longer
needed to stay here
the next generation
are dooming themselves
they need my experience
to guide them through hell
Why should I bother
on my own, I strive through
I turn my back on the thought
of bothering to save you
alone in this world
my, is it spacious
I'm finally smiling,
never so gracious.
To sit in the confines of knowledge
At a desk the colour of porridge
An air of unescapable heat
At a desk the colour of wheat
The lure of the Mail Online
At a desk the colour of brine
Looking at Jamie Kirby's broken leg
At a desk the colour of regret

Bad thoughts, self pity, self harm, it may seem harmless to you, but its not the answer to subdue your inner pain deep inside you.
To practice self love, true inner peace, is to be thankful for your God given gifts, you smile from inside out, to bring peace to others, when they around you are filled with darkness and doubt.
The image you see with your eyes is not the true scenery that really counts, for its always starts within deep in your heart. Actions speak louder than words. Show your true peace, beauty with only your arms and hands.
Practice Ahimsa, speak with the tongue, only of true love, for all living things and beings on this earth. Let us be neighbors, friends, what a peaceful wish to dream about, if you try looking at the heart, and not with your mind, for beauty within has no disguise..

I am the maker of miracles
a real spiritual man
waltzing through shadows
as they pull me back in
I know I must escape them
any way I can
I know the way out
like the back of my hand
It's just me and the maker
together, he and I
I told you God is in me
you just thought I was high
talking with the Zeta's
they tell me just why
everything has an ending
and the old me, must die
I'm Calm as a bomb
in the eyes of a storm
they stare upon me
as if I've been warned
turn me inside out
as a goodness is born
I wear my battle scars
so stars know I'm war torn
When the gift of life
is freed from inside
the fire starts fading
then the anger subsides
like the great phoenix,
I go back in time
a miracle is born
and now that I'm revived
in my new life, I shine.
Kashmir is the heaven as they say
And from years i have been watching deaths at the bay.
Some come with metals,some burn the petals
Here you are safer only if you stay dumb
My words are not enough to bring up the sun as,
I have been living like in hell
Rest in peace -- and i believe one-day they ALL will FELL.--.

Taming a tropical topical tree? Taking a trunk? Telling a tailor? Traversing a tale? Many ideas. Much like the ideological dramas of a beach front. Wavelength of winds. Movements if the tides. Coconuts can jump very high if wearing leotards but leotards are prohibited at various times during the year. It is quite impossible to count the exotic blooms that line up. Waiting wanting wishing. And the deity of a cactus can chant to tunes arriving from the sand piles. Dust dog. Digging. Whoosh warming wands. And a scent of a papaya in a fridge. Now that is all rather entertaining and remarkable for the long tailed fish whose darts prove to the leopard print turtle that it is very likely that a radiant radius forms from a watery weaving display. But jousting with a pineapple is not as fantastic as utilising a giant bee bush. Large leaves linking lanterns. And the aardvark grin. Heat from a ruin is a robed friend. Fiends are denied access by the calling cards. And the turban of souls spoke. Heed. Have. Heavens. Heaping. A morning mist is neither not a mood or a moon. And why buffalo wings and not pork wings? Why not pork wings? Operatic oink in a tropically scented garden. Seated. Or flying around and around. Then returning and eating apple pie. Stanza eighty nine is akin to a fine wine. A fabulous line. But a fabled monkey can be equalled to a nine foot serpent rising slowly from a wall. A mosaic deity. A wisdom. A pocket of chairs. Spin then. Aromatic cutlet smiling. Cover in liquids squirted from the appropriate discussion. And a rampant distortion of a small amount of energy. Save not a slug. Stamp not on a boating shrew. And spring over the jungle fauna with leaps of over forty two miles an hour. Sixty eight minutes of marvellous encounters. With unheard of animals,trees, and landscapes. The maka maka people are custodians of a channel and guardians of the tall blue beings. Shrouded in a misted canopy. High up. In caverns. Pictorial cues and evidence. Shrouds. Circuses are not allowed. Red read riots. And a dome cake arriving. Haha haha and a tall man waving. Haha and a juice dancing with a cloth. Haha beetle eyes in a pattern sewing blankets for the spotted frogs. Swirling stag staged. Melon elocution. And a little girl with a dramatic performance of a single page. Documentations in a dog bowl. Tropical topical trailers talking travelling trips. The radius of a forest floor is measured by twigs. And so the planet can be seen from a clearing. Oh good. Washing a flamingo is best done by a lake. And a frightened patterned peacock prancing can be placated by song, dance and rhythm. Such is the blossoming bloom of an official secrets act. 19 52. And an oceanographic octagonal office does not laugh or wave. It is to be said that mysterious snails of over two hundred feet in diameter can rise to meet the criteria of a successful businessman who has no meaning. And so the leaping ornate orchids can smile in appreciation. Swamps are really not that ideal for a morning swim. Haha goon gong. Xxxx beastiology. ANZ X.

Peut etre ; ne pas égarer de vous laisser tomber ...

Quitte le !

Parce qu'il tombe une datte dans votre main
promesses humides à ondulent Mer
Murmure lui ...
La solidarite psychologie de la situation.... peut-être
Pour vous tuer ...

Te jette

Pour te nourir
Rêve flanqué plus sombre
Entre les frontières nocturnes
L'emigration a satisfait contente
L'aube de la douleur sera noir
Et vous qui
Je prends de la main de sainte
Cinder retenue taupe qui
Ne vous laisser tomber
Tu assoie de bon voisinage de ton ame
Et tu brulle
Ce que je vous souhaite la prédestination
Comme si elles étaient des bonbons, qui
Oh ; mon fils :elle tombe
De votre bouche
Le mer ; jamais nourrit ses enfants
Mon amour va dormir
Il est le paradis de la plus haute immortalisée
Un faut miel
Nous sentons comme un tembau qui a enquêté sur les occupants
Et la grossesse charge cache dans les lèvres
Une chanson de mélancolie d'enfance
Dors mon bien-aimé
Il est plus dans l'histoire
Est reconnu coupable d'innocence
Ou demande
C'est ca la miserable état
Non téter les enfants de la mer

One mean footed man said to another "where are the swan cakes?". To which the right angled man replied "I ate them. I ate them. I own them all. I ate them." Passing from behind came rustling then this was ceased with a bang. Fifteen feathers came hurtling through at the men. And two beaks hit them. As sharp as arrows. They fell in the stream. Swept away. Far away. For the tides of existence are exact. And the honour of nature more honourable. So speak the leaf on a sunny day. Question not an irate toad driving a black land rover. Sailing sweeping swept singing salty spitting slitting spliced spicy spews speedily. Aromatics x

Regional Healthcare Building Boom Defies Recession
By Rick Smith
A lingering global recession and concerns about the costs of healthcare reform have done little to slow a continuing expansion of medical facilities across much of the Triangle and eastward to Greenville, Wilmington and Hoke County. Also underway is the new state mental health hospital in Butner, NC, to replace Dorothea Dix Hospital in Raleigh.
Projects worth close to $2 billion have produced new hospitals, hospital additions, emergency care units and specialty facilities across the region. And other projects are still in the pipeline.
On Jan. 20, Rex Healthcare filed plans with the state to add two operating rooms at a 9000-square-foot outpatient center in Holly Springs. The state approved the project just two years ago and is looking at Rex's request to open a surgical physician practice at the same location.
But not every project has won state approval, despite the wealth of building underway. Just last year Novant Health, which operates Franklin Regional Medical Center in Louisburg, NC, failed to achieve the go-ahead to build a $100 million hospital in Holly Springs.
Meanwhile, approval by the state of competing hospitals in Hoke County has triggered appeals from both healthcare providers that secured permission to build that cite concerns about overlapping facilities. Cape Fear Valley and FirstHealth of the Carolinas filed their objections in December. The various projects from the Triangle to the coast must receive state approval based on a Certificate of Need process that focuses on controlling costs and determining need.
Demand Is There
Despite all the building in recent years, David Strong, president of Rex Healthcare, said there is patient demand for more.
"We hope the state recognizes the need to support this application for operating rooms (OR), as Rex generated the need for the three ORs in the state master facility plan," he said. "The addition of these operating rooms to our campus in Holly Springs will provide a comprehensive center in this high-growth area of Wake County."
The third operating room he mentioned would be an addition to Rex's main campus in Raleigh. Rex also has facilities in Apex, Cary, Garner, Knightdale, Wakefield and downtown Raleigh.
Town leaders want the additions, said Holly Springs Town Manager Carl Dean.
"We fully and exclusively commit our support to Rex's (certificate of need) application to the state," Dean said in a statement. "Our town is growing, and we look forward to Rex Healthcare's ability to provide much-needed medical services to our community through the addition of these two new operating rooms."
The Holly Springs project is just one of several that have included expansion in Wake County by Rex — which is owned by UNC Hospitals — as well as projects by Duke Health and WakeMed.
The latest project outside Wake County is a $227 million, 68-bed hospital UNC Hospitals wants to build in Hillsborough by 2013. That project received initial North Carolina approval from the Department of Health and Human Services last September. However, a recently filed protest by the Alamance Regional Medical Center, which fears increased competition for an outpatient facility it opened in nearby Mebane, has led to a delay in a final decision by the state.
The UNC plan for Hillsborough is just the latest in a blizzard of expansion by the major healthcare providers.
UNC Hospitals and Rex Hospital, Duke Health and its Duke Raleigh Hospital, as well as WakeMed, have sprouted outpatient, specialty and emergency care facilities all over Wake County, especially in the fast-growing areas near Wake Forest.
Not to be outdone, Johnston County Health is building a major new tower in Smithfield and wants to grow even more. In Greenville, East Carolina University's burgeoning healthcare system recently opened a new state-funded heart hospital.
Also building is New Hanover Regional Medical Center, which is in the midst of expansion and upgrades that will stretch into 2010.
Here's an overview of the healthcare building boom:
UNC Hospitals
Construction continues of a center for imaging and spinal treatment. The facility will cost $22 million. For the moment, however, plans for another patient tower at the main facility on the UNC campus are on hold.
In 2009, UNC opened a $208 million hospital focused on cancer treatment. The facility includes programs from the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, as well as UNC Health Care System programs.
A biomedical research imaging building is also going up, budgeted at $242 million and including a 343,000-square-foot building for lab research. Completion is expected in 2013.
UNC Hospitals also is adding a $118 million, 216,000-square-foot dental sciences building that will open in 2012.
In Wake County, Rex and UNC Health Care, along with Raleigh Orthopaedic Clinic, recently received approval for a $6.5 million ambulatory surgical center that will include four operating rooms.
In Siler City, meanwhile, UNC Health Care is expanding the hospital and related facilities it acquired in 2008. A $6 million addition is underway that includes a new $26 million, 66,000-square-foot building.
Duke University Health System
The Durham-based healthcare network plans to continue its aggressive expansion. At the top of the list: a $250 million cancer hospital that opens in 2012. The hospital will encompass 267,000 square feet and include 140 examination rooms and 75 treatment stations.
In 2008, Duke won approval for a massive $596 million expansion project that includes nearly 550,000 additional square feet, new intensive care units and so-called "step down care" units for patients who have left intensive care. The complex is set to open in 2013.
Duke also has discussed building a $50 million, 80,000-square-foot building for medical school instruction.
The Duke system includes Duke University Hospital, Durham Regional Hospital and Duke Raleigh Hospital.
WakeMed Health & Hospitals
WakeMed is in the midst of expanding its new WakeMed North Healthplex with 41 beds for a women's hospital. A year ago, WakeMed prevailed in a permit battle over Rex and Novant for the required state permit. The beds were authorized based on growth projections.
At its main campus in Raleigh, WakeMed is building a $35 million, 60-patient tower for a new children's hospital that will include a neonatal intensive care unit that will cost more than $8 million. In Cary, meanwhile, the WakeMed facility recently completed a two-story addition with 42 beds.
Johnston Health
Johnston Health is building a $62 million, five-story patient tower at its main Smithfield facility with 101 beds. Johnston Health is also expanding into Clayton with Johnston Medical Center-Clayton, which opened in October 2009 and includes an emergency room, an imaging department and a facility for outpatient surgery. Johnston Health plans to transfer beds from Smithfield to Clayton at some point, turning the Clayton facility into a full-fledged hospital.
The Clayton facility will cost $60 million once its transition to a full-service hospital is complete. $28 million is budgeted for the 27 acute-care beds to be moved from Smithfield.
Cape Fear Valley Health System
The Fayetteville-based healthcare network is seeking to build a 41-bed hospital on US Highway 401 near the Cumberland-Hoke County line. It also would include a 16-bed emergency department. The facility will be called Cape Fear Valley West. Cape Fear also wants to add an outpatient center in Hoke County.
Both Cape Fear and FirstHealth recently received state permission to build facilities in Hoke County within 10 miles of each other. The hospitals have filed appeals with the state over the decision, saying the facilities would duplicate operations.
New Hanover Regional Medical Center
This large hospital in Wilmington is wrapping up a renovation project approved in 2005 — the largest in the history of the hospital.
Last June, a new surgical pavilion that includes 26 operating rooms and covers more than 186,000 square feet opened. In September 2008, the Betty H. Cameron Women's and Children's Hospital was added. Covering 195,000 square feet, it includes a pediatric intensive care unit and a neonatal intensive care unit.
Still underway is a renovation of the main patient facility that will not be completed until late 2010. Almost all of the rooms in the nine-floor structure will be private. The first two floors were opened for patients last June.
At nearby UNC-Wilmington, construction is nearing completion on a $15.7 million nursing school building that covers 80,000 square feet.
Moore Regional Hospital
FirstHealth of the Carolinas is investing $90 million in a heart care center at Moore Regional Hospital in Pinehurst that covers 180,000 square feet. The building includes six operating facilities, six catheterization labs, 23 cardiology patient rooms and intensive care units.
FirstHealth, which is based in Pinehurst, also operates hospitals in Montgomery County and Richmond County.
East Carolina University
As UNC Health Care built its cancer hospital, ECU completed its $220 million heart facility last year. The East Carolina Heart Institute at Pitt County Memorial Hospital covers 375,000 square feet and includes 120 beds, as well as six operating rooms in a six-story tower. It cost $160 million.
"This is the most advanced facility for cardiovascular care in this part of the country," said Pitt County Memorial Hospital Vice President Brian Floyd on the one-year anniversary of the building. "But more importantly, we're building an advanced team of caregivers who are expert at what they do and have a passion for people."
The second part of the project is a $60 million Heart Institute.
Franklin Regional Medical Center
The state rejected a plan by Franklin Regional Medical Center to relocate facilities to Franklinton from Louisburg in partnership with Rex.
Last fall, Franklin Regional did land a new majority owner when Novant Health, which is based in Winston-Salem, assumed 99 percent ownership of the hospital from Health Management Associates.
Durham VA Medical Center
Upgrades and expansion worth $15 million are underway at the Durham facility. Additions include new clinical and research facilities.
East Carolina Heart Institute Marks First Year
In its first year, the Heart Institute at Pitt County Memorial Hospital has treated more than 6000 inpatients with 70,000 procedures. The six-story, 375,000-square-foot Heart Institute is home to 120 inpatient cardiovascular beds, six operating rooms and 11 interventional laboratories.
The East Carolina Heart Institute at East Carolina University is a $60 million research, education and outpatient care facility. The four-story, 206,000-square-foot ECU building opened in September 2008. ECU and PCMH jointly dedicated the East Carolina Heart Institute in December 2008.
New Heart Care Partnership
Nash Health Care Systems and the Boice-Willis Clinic in Rocky Mount, NC, have chosen University Health Systems of Eastern Carolina (UHS) in Greenville, NC, as the tertiary partner to explore improvements in the delivery of specialized heart care services for people in Nash and surrounding counties.
According to Larry Chewning, chief executive officer (CEO) of Nash Health Care, and Dave McRae, UHS CEO: "The focus here is to offer high-quality heart services in our four-county service area that Nash Health Care Systems has traditionally served."
Dr. Nick Patrone, president of Boice-Willis Clinic, said the expanded cardiology program at Nash Health Care will provide a new level of cardiology service in Rocky Mount.
The heart center would be affiliated with the new East Carolina Heart Institute at Pitt County Memorial Hospital in Greenville. The Nash Heart Center could eventually serve as a satellite-training site for students and residents affiliated with The Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University.
Japanese Heart Evaluator Demonstrated
NU-Tech 2010, a one-day conference focusing on investing in collaborative technologies (www.nutechshowcase.org), featured a demonstration by Japan-based FAIN-Biomedical Inc. of an endovascular evaluator designed for use in medical training and surgical practice.
Known as EVE, the FAIN device — the result of 20 years of joint research between engineers and physicians — the endovascular evaluator is a model of the human vascular system created from CT and MRI data. A high-precision model, it provides a realistic simulation environment that can be used for surgery rehearsal, medical student training, as well as medical devices and procedural evaluation.
NU-Tech 2010 featured more than 20 breakthrough technologies from the fields of life science, biotechnology and engineering. Held at the Starting at the Sheraton Imperial, RTP, NU-Tech 2010 featured technology developments from Nagoya University, home to four Nobel Prize-winning professors in physics and chemistry (www.nagoya-u.ac.jp/en), North Carolina State University, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and East Carolina University.
Featured speakers included:
• North Carolina Secretary of Commerce J. Keith Crisco
• Vice President of Eisai Inc., Dr. Ray W. Wood
• Director of Aisin AW and President of EQUOS Research, Masao Ando
• Nagoya University President Dr. Michinari Hamaguchi
• President and CEO of the North Carolina Biotechnology Center, E. Norris Tolson

New Year's Eve Blow Outs Blow
It New Year's Eve, readers. You know what that means: there's a plethora of parties just begging for your attention – and dough. While we can't tell you where we'll be tonight – largely because we don't know yet – we can tell you where we won't be celebrating 2008's blessed birth.
First and foremost, we will not be attending any event that boasts house, trance or any other rave-related music. Why? Because we didn't like it when it was cool and we especially don't like it a decade on. One such event, MasterBeat, may be the most repulsive of these beat-laden happenings. And, what's more, the organizers bill it as a "global celebration," yet neglected to set up outposts on Africa or in Asia. Maybe years of ecstasy abuse burned up their elementary geography. The event does, however, have a camp in Pensacola, Florida. That says it all.
Speaking of global: we also refuse to grace Ibiza-based night club Pacha's New York party. This blowout, located up on 46th street, may be New York City's longest running New Year's party. We can't imagine what one does at a club for 24 hours, but we're sure they look monstrous after such a party. Also, the party costs a whopping $125: our entire annual salary!
Meanwhile, over in Los Angeles, Avalon's west coast outpost hosts a five hour DJ set by Gabriel and Dresden. While we respect the club's commitment to green living, we simply can't get down with a sweat-soaked event, nor can we afford the $60 cover charge. Nor would we want to chill with people who are willing to pay such an astronomical fee for a fucking party.
The coasts aren't the only ones producing gay-themed parties. Atlanta's The Wild Mustang features a party called "Rhinestone Cowboy". Now, we don't want to be rude, but a party named after a 1975 song doesn't inspire our inner party animal.
In fact, no club-based event really gets our goat. We far prefer house parties, where you can meet friends of friends. That's a far better way to get a new year's kiss than grasping at stranger straws come midnight.
Regardless of what you do this evening, do it well. Oh, and don't do any of the naughty drugs. Who wants to start the new year strung out? No us!
The first word of this post is a typo (I annoy myself, too). You can delete this comment after(if) you change it. Love the blog.
Dear Kellen,
You forgot to put a space between the "r" in after and the first parenthesis in (if). You'd better shape up if you're gonna be an effective spelling and grammar Nazi!! And, please, try not to take the sting out of your criticism by being self-deprecating or kiss assy. That's annoying.
Wow, you sound like a real bore. No wonder you left HX. Some of us actually enjoy dancing!
Who in the hell wrote this article…
Mike Huckabee? Why waste an entire page
talking about stuff you don't like.
You sound pretentious and condescending
without providing any positive alternative
to the "scenes" you slam. You probably brought
in the New Year updating your Myspace page.
Grow up, Missy! It ain't all about you.
