Being: A Collection of PoetryMature
A collection of the poems I'm currently most proud of, usually based off of something I'm currently going through, but sometimes inspired by other peoples' struggles and triumphs. Every poem is subject to change and it's likely that the poems here now aren't the same ones you'll find in a month, or even a week, because the ones I'm 'most proud of' are constantly changing. With that said: enjoy!
It's being hyper
at the beginning of the year
art school
and only knowing extremes --
keep a straight face
or lay all of my cards
out on the table
it's vulnerability.
It's being loved
and getting caught
in a riptide
catching my breath
only to lose it again
and then losing it
when I was caught alone
it's naivety.
It's being dumb
during third quarter
because I
quit trying
when I thought
I wouldn't need it
then changed my mind
and found myself
in a ditch
it's indecisiveness.
it's being strong
by piercing my ears
scratching my legs
not eating
by dying my hair
getting a tattoo
by drinking
it's destruction.

Fierce controversy already swirls over the claims about the Prime Minister's conduct in Andrew Rawnsley's new book, The End of the Party: in particular, whether the Cabinet Secretary, Sir Gus O'Donnell, felt compelled to confront Brown directly over his behaviour towards staff. But the overriding impression — that we are governed by Shrek's evil twin — is, as they say in Whitehall, already "sub-optimal" for Brown and his party's prospects.
Is it true, and — if it is — so what? If the allegations were truly without foundation, I doubt that the New Labour machine would have devoted so much effort to rubbishing them pre-emptively.
On Saturday — the very day that he gave a speech launching his party's election campaign — Brown told Channel 4 News that "if I get angry, I get angry with myself I have never hit anybody in my life". In an interview with The Independent on Sunday — also recorded before the extracts from Rawnsley's book had appeared in The Observer — the PM again insisted that "it is simply a lie to say that I've ever hit anybody in my life".
On Sunday morning, Lord Mandelson told the BBC's Andrew Marr that the truth of the matter reflected well on Mr Brown. Yes, the Prime Minister was occasionally angry "chiefly with himself", impatient and demanding: "But what would you like? Some sort of shrinking violet at the helm when we are going through such stormy waters?" When it comes to workplace nastiness, Lord Mandelson seemed to be saying, Brown has found the ideal New Labour Third Way.
Another classic New Labour technique is to counter-attack by denying an allegation that has not actually been made. At no point does Rawnsley claim that Brown hit anyone. In his account, the PM lost control in a car so that an aide feared Brown was "about to hit him in the face" — which is not the same thing. He "roughly shoved" an adviser aside, yelling profanities. He left a trail of "frightened duty clerks, badly treated phone operators and other bruised staff". In the most extraordinary incident, he "turfed [a secretary] out of her chair and took over the keyboard himself".
The intrinsic problem for Labour is that Rawnsley has an outstanding and richly deserved record as a journalist who gets his facts right. Brown and his circle have long been anxious about the appearance of this book so close to an election.
Much less predictable was the intervention yesterday of Christine Pratt, the head of the National Bullying Helpline, who said that her service had received "three or four" enquiries from staff in Brown's office. Labour will move heaven and earth to insinuate that Ms Pratt has suspect motives: that she is a covert Tory zealot or has some other axe to grind. But the damage is already done.
Is the damage that significant? Yes. Character always matters in elections, and Brown himself has ensured that it will matter in this one more than most. "I know where I come from," he declared in his speech on Saturday, "I know what I stand for, and I know who I came into politics to represent."
In May 2007, at the launch of his campaign to succeed Tony Blair, he was explicit: "When you put yourself forward for leadership, the country has a right to know where you come from, what you believe in and what you want to achieve. My father was a minister of the church. For me, my parents were — and their inspiration still is — my moral compass. The compass which has guided me through each stage of my life. They taught me the importance of integrity and decency, treating people fairly — and duty to others."
It now appears that the "moral compass" involves spinning a typist around in her swivel chair in order to find due north. It is hard to claim that you are "treating people fairly" when the Cabinet Secretary has to have a word with you about your conduct towards junior staff. Nobody likes a bully.
And the trouble for Gordon is that almost everybody knows one. Some voters may buy the spin that Brown is a flawed colossus, occasionally losing his temper, but still steering the nation towards salvation. Millions more will recognise the type with contempt. Bullies are frightening but they are also incredibly boring: their staff have to spend half their time tiptoeing around them, appeasing them. The bully boss — whether PM or regional sales manager — swings unpredictably between private self-loathing and a belief that all problems are the consequence of the failures of others.
The electorate knows it is a myth that madly aggressive and impatient people make good leaders. In fact, such leaders flatten morale and suck oxygen out of a workplace — as Brown self-evidently did. They conceal their deficiencies of character with the mask of the angry, perpetually accusing man. In Brown's case, the flipside of Calvinist self-discipline is a fury at the world's refusal to do his bidding.
The figure that emerges from Rawnsley's extracts is not an ogre but a little man. Not Hannibal Lecter but a psychotic David Brent. These are the outbursts of a child: less Colonel Kurtz than Violet Elizabeth Bott. Only a man who lacked self-respect and self-control could behave in this way, and neither shortcoming will recommend itself to voters.
A few years back, Brown wrote a rather good book called Courage. Hemingway defined courage as "grace under pressure" — and it is this that the PM so clearly lacks. In his interview with The Independent on Sunday, Brown suggested it was illogical of Rawnsley to portray him as both aggressive to members of staff and chronically indecisive.
"So I'm both strong and weak?" he asked. Nobody said you were strong, Prime Minister.

The Javert Coat
My new coat is black and falls to my knees with a hole in one of the pockets. There certainly is something about it that makes me look like I'm chasing a bread/candlestick/former employee's daughter/said daughter's boyfriend thief through France, especially with my hair in a ponytail. I love it.
Another good thing that's happened recently is Neko Astume. And that I've essentially finished that black and white acrylic self portrait I had to to for school. After it was done I would close my eyes and see grey strokes of paint. Actually-
[An interruption for a prayer and moment of silence for every child who will choose the arts at gcse because they think it's the easy option.]
-though at this stage everyone is there because they want to do it. Suddenly everyone's so much better than me.
That might just be me being dramatic, however. I have my new year's resolutions- get a job, cut red meat out of my diet, get some proper writing done. There's a hovering, unsure, fourth resolution that right now I can't bring myself to say. I know exactly what it is, and if you've read any previous entries you will know as well.
I hate hate hate keeping secrets, big secrets, I hate hate hate telling people about them, but above all I'd hate to be an ordinary hetero teenager, but I have to say I am because whenever I feel close to self acceptance some annoying kid on Facebook will post something about girls faking it for attention (though we all know its bitterness about a girl maybe not being attracted to you. we can see right through you) and then you take a step back.
It feels like being in the ocean, pretending to be a fish. Sometimes you look up at wistfully stay at the shimmering veil where the sun shines into the water. You can breathe on the other side, if only you could reach the surface. You don't really get used to drowning.

These Halloween decoration ideas from Karla of It's the Little Things That Make a House a Home, will be a big hit with the entire family and your neighborhood.
Enjoy her pictures and she even tells us how she did it (along with some lessons learned)!
Karla's ideas came from a photo in Country Living magazine of a front door decorated with bats. That was all it took to inspire Karla to create this great Halloween decoration idea.
Cut a Bazillion BatsKarla bought black construction paper and she and her family cut out the bats. They cut out lots and lots and lots of bats using a template provided by Country Living magazine.
She did not know how many to cut but knew it had to be many in order to create the effect she wanted.
Black Construction Paper or Felt?Not to say that Karla was exited about this Halloween decorating idea but...she confessed that she started it without reading the directions!
She didn't realize until she had cut "zillions" of bats that she was supposed to use stiffened black felt, not black construction paper. Uh-oh.
She soon realized the results of her mistake. She attached her construction paper bats to her home with duct tape.
The next morning, much to her surprise, the wing tips had curled. She re-taped the bats, hoping they will make it to Halloween! She also didn't realize that the sun will fade construction paper. Not all is lost.
As you can see from the following photos, her porch is a real hit in the neighborhood. So take Karla's advice - use stiffened black felt!
Our warm thank you to Karla for sharing her Halloween decorating ideas with us and we hope you enjoyed them as well.

Winter 2013 Transfer Rumors & Moves II
That's my hope LITN. One of those bargain signings we have been begging for. I can't speak to his specific game but hoping this signing is one in that mold.
What's the deal with Coates? He is homesick? Lack of playing time? I like the little we have seen from him.
I think Coates should be loaned out to get games somewhere. He is way too good to be on the bench all the time. Then once Carra retires after this season he can be a clear choice to play more.
Last rumor I heard was WBA was interested in loaning Coates. I'm hoping that's true.
I believe Tony Barrett of the times said Rodgers et al. all really rate Coates, but do feel he needs experience through consistent playing time. they have Carra ahead of him so he won't get it here this season. The plan is then to loan him out for the remainder of the season and let him get experience.
Coates has been linked to some loan moves to Serie A clubs as well (think Napoli might be one of them)
Some minor EPL transfers; Sunderland sign experienced Senegalese defender Kader Mangane on loan from Al-Hilal, experienced Ligue 1 defender who spent this season in Saudi Arabia. Reading will sign Zambian midfielder Stophira Sunzu, a player who has been linked all over Europe after Zambia won the AFCON last year, not really a top prospect but a decent enough signing I guess
Seeing all over Twitter and heard on talkSport that Remy will have a medical at QPR tomorrow.
If i said i was surprised id be lying.
Valenciennes sign Maor Melikson from Wisła Kraków - I know, nothing major, but if the lad can regain his form he might prove to be a good signing, keep an eye on him, Evilo.
It's been an interesting window as far as Polish league goes, 18-year old Milik goes to Leverkusen for 3M euros, I reckon he might be as big of a hit as Lewandowski is, extremely talented striker. Another primosing lad, Wszołek, is set to join Hannover for over 1,5M.
Our players in Dortmund did a great job convincing German clubs to sign Poles again, think there'll be more deals like those in the near future.
Australian Tomas Rogic is on trial with Celtic. He might be bought soon. Both Celtic's manager and his Australian club manager have talked about a permanent move. Hes a CAM.
More teams should look at another "Ro...". Rojas should be getting more looks. Kid is incredible
Just recapping the general guideline for this thread, with the mods approval:
When posting a rumor, state the source. Link if it's a website, if a print paper or tv channel then mention the name at least. And note that The Sun and Daily Mail have dubious reputations... :D
Not quite sure what to make of this Ben Arfa story. Quotes below.
Yeah Ben Arfa is a PSG fan, like 75% of french footballers (most of them are coming from the parisian area).
But yeah there's not many chances that PSG is interested. They already have that awfully talented but inconsistant 87 born player, childhood PSG fan, in Jérémy Menez.
It's quite clear PSG is aiming at players above Ben Arfa's current category. And sure Ben Arfa could one day be in that upper class category, but between incosistency and injuries, I think it's fair to say it's a long shot now. Too bad, because not many players are as talented as he is.
In other transfer news (L'Equipe) :
- Rémy is leaning towards QPR after talking with Redknapp. OM is happy with that because they have already accepted QPR's bid, which is better than Newcastle's.
- Everton has found someone who's as good as Fellaini, but who will cost much less : Etienne Capoue. They're trying to get him, but Toulouse doesn't want to sell before the summer.
- Moussa Sissoko has so many offers it's ridiculous. He might be the hottest commodity on the transfer market right now. Atfer several EPL offers (QPR, Newcastle, Liverpool), he is offered a 5M bonus by Monaco if he signs now (so add the transfer fee). OM are desperately trying to get him too.
- M'Bengue is available and cheap. Great bargain here.
And BTW, if QPR signs M'Vila and Rémy and that both are healthy and in form (big if), even with the adapting to do, there's no way QPR is relegated. These two are really class (especially M'Vila).
On the espn press pass show tonight they mentioned reports are coming out of Italy that Pep has agreed to coach Bayern Munich. Host made a remark about it being strange that a report of a Spanish coach joining a German team would break out of Italy.
Got this on my facebook page. At least a link to go with it now. http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/gu...en_110780.html
Liverpool are getting a move jacked by Southampton? Really?
The end is near
Southampton have money, most people don't know that.
That's part of the point.
Rodgers has slipped a bit through a LFC beat writer that it's about the kid wanting first team football. But, the point still stands. LFC should have enough where they shouldn't get sniped by Southampton.
Wow I can't spell when I type before my morning caffeine.

Revision: Prologue-Chapter 2
Nitro Frog!
By Tyler Deal
"Nitro! Yo, Nitro! Wake up!" shouted Teach. Smack! Teach slapped the napping frog with a wet mackerel."Ouch! What's that all about?" cried Nitro.
"You were napping again!" shouted Teach as he tossed the mackerel back into the ocean.
"Now, everybody listen up! Today, you graduate from Teach's Life Training! Some of you did better than others!" Nitro withered under Teach's glare. "It's time to choose your skills! Choose carefully, you only get one shot at this! When I call your name, step forward and get your R.I.B.B.E.T.S.!"
"Isn't this so exciting?" asked Gloria, a pink frog.
"Yeah! I can't wait to get my skills! I'm going to be a master fisherfrog like Teach!" answered Nitro with stars in his eyes.
"Penelope!" shouted Teach. Penelope, a sassy purple frog in a tutu, claimed her R.I.B.B.E.T.S. She turned the small red tablet over in her hand.
"Thank you, Teach!" she said, prancing back.
"Dexter!" shouted Teach. Dexter, a blue frog and King of Nerds, retrieved his R.I.B.B.E.T.S.
"Why thank you, sir," said Dexter, adjusting his thick glasses.
"Nobody likes a suck-up, Dex! Next, Gloria!" shouted Teach. Gloria practically floated over to get her R.I.B.B.E.T.S.
"THANK YOU, TEACH!" said Gloria over-enthusiastically.
"Lance!" shouted Teach. Lance, a gray frog of few words, collected his R.I.B.B.E.T.S.
"Teach," nodded Lance.
"Lastly, Nitro! Try not to break it right away," said Teach, momentarily losing his usual enthusiasm for shouting. Nitro, a typical green frog, snatched up his R.I.B.B.E.T.S.
"Thanx, Teach!" shouted Nitro.
"Excuse me?! I don't think I heard that spelling correctly! Let's try again!" shouted Teach.
"Oops. Thanks, Teach!" Nitro corrected himself.
"That's more like it! If you have any questions, refer to the 'HELP' menu! DO NOT ASK ME! Good luck with life, cadets! I'm going to take a nap," said Teach, exhausted.
After Teach had gone to lay in his hammock, the five young frogs chattered excitedly over their R.I.B.B.E.T.S.s. Nitro turned his over and over, tapped it, shook it, and sighed.
"How does this thing work again?" asked Nitro.
The other frogs fell over. This was going to be a long day.
Chapter 1: I Got Skills!
"Why is it called a R.I.B.B.E.T.S. again?" asked Nitro. A collective sigh arose from the group.
"Amateur," chided Dexter. "Remote Instantaneous Blackhole-Banking Electronic Transfer System or R.I.B.B.E.T.S. for short. It uses blackhole technology to transfer physical objects between A.I.M.S.(Amphibian Inventory Manufacturing and Storage) and your current reality. It's really quite amazing. In 736 FD…"
"Okay, now I remember why I don't care," interrupted Nitro. Dexter grumbled in irritation. "Just show me to the skills list." Penelope smacked her lips.
"Do you see the button on the touchscreen that says 'SKILLS'? Yeah, it's that one," said Penelope, rolling her eyes.
Nitro tapped the 'SKILLS' button. A list of buttons appeared on screen.
"Alright, now we're talkin'," said Nitro excitedly. He tapped the "NICE" button. A list of Meanie battling skills appeared on the screen. "Gift, Happybeam, Party Time… This isn't what I'm looking for." Nitro tapped the back arrow, then the "LIFE" button. Another list appeared. "Cooking, Crafting… Ah ha! Fishing!" Nitro ecstatically tapped the "LEARN" button.
There was a sudden cool electric rush in Nitro's brain as the information on fishing came flooding in. In the frog's mind, he saw Teach casting a line out into the water. He watched his technique as Teach jigged the bait back and forth. There was a whirring sound as Teach's rod bent over. Teach fought the fish, reeling and pulling until… Whoosh! A great white shark flew out of the water! Nitro's eyes watered at the glorious sight as the shark glided through the air in slow motion. The giant fish crashed onto the beach and thrashed about, throwing sand into the air! Teach dodged its massive teeth and smacked it square on the head with his fishing rod. The shark's eyes turned into Xs and it fell flat. Teach puffed out his chest and put one foot on his vanquished foe as the word "CONGRATULATIONS!" flashed over his head. Nitro looked down at his R.I.B.B.E.T.S. as an electronic voice rang out.
Congratulations! You've learned 'FISHING'!
"That… was… AWESOME!" shouted Nitro. "Let's do this!"
Nitro tapped the "USE" button next to "FISHING". There was an electric buzz in the air as a fishing rod materialized in front of him and dropped into his hands. It was tricolor yellow, orange, and red, just like Nitro's shirt. There was a bobber painted with flames, and a plain hook hung from the end of the line. Nitro was drooling over his new rod when his expression suddenly changed.
"Hey wait. Where's the bait?"
"It doesn't come with bait. You can try to find some, but I would suggest getting the 'GATHERING' skill to make it easier. You'll have a better knowledge of what you're looking for. Of course, you could get the 'CRAFTING' skill. That would teach you how to make lures. ISN'T THIS SO EXCITING!" said Gloria with flames in her eyes.
"Hmm…" Nitro weighed the options. "I'll just get both!"
After both tutorials played through Nitro's mind, he looked around at his friends with a giant grin. Then he began laughing maniacally.
"Hahaha! Do not feel ashamed. It isn't your fault that you aren't masters like me. Keep trying, you'll get it one day. Hahaha!" Every frog stared at him like he was insane. "Now stand back and watch the master at work!"
Nitro looked around the beach. He felt as though he had super detective powers as objects jumped out at him. He grabbed a forked stick from the sand and spun it through a spider web he saw glistening in a nearby almond tree. His R.I.B.B.E.T.S. suddenly called out.
Obtained Net!
"Hahaha!" Nitro laughed again as everyone watched.
Nitro leapt into the ocean with a splash and returned with a single tiny shrimp wiggling in the net.
Obtained Tiny Shrimp!
Nitro put the shrimp on his hook and tossed it into the ocean. Everyone watched as ten minutes went by. Nitro started to fidget uncomfortably.
"C'mon, fish. Don't make me look dumb. Here, fishy fishy," Nitro whispered to the ocean.
Suddenly, the bobber bounced and sank! Nitro snatched the rod back and started reeling. "This is it! Oh, it's a giant shark! No, a whale! Here it comes!" With one last great pull, the fish came flying out of the water. Nitro watched in horror as a miniature sardine glided through the air in slow motion. It landed inaudibly on the sand. There was no sound except for the gently breaking waves. Then…
Obtained Miniature Sardine!
Nitro quietly flicked the fish back into the water. There was an eruption of laughter from the group. Gloria patted Nitro on the shoulder.
"You just need to practice and level-up your skill. Then you can catch bigger fish. It was pretty neat how you made that net though." Nitro nodded resolutely. He was determined to do just that.
"I WILL be a Master Fisherfrog!" he declared and leapt into the ocean for more bait.
Chapter 2: Meanies Attack!
Gloria, Dexter, Penelope, and Lance perched on the limbs of a giant, twisty, driftwood log; the remains of a massive mango tree. Nitro continued fishing vigorously as they discussed which skills they would choose.
Congratulations! 'FISHING' is now level 2!
Everyone looked up as Nitro approached with a huge froggy grin on his face and a sea urchin in his hands.
"Thank you, thank you," said Nitro, bowing.
"Good job, Nitro!" exclaimed Gloria. "I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU! OH MY GOODNESS! IS THAT A SEA URCHIN?!" Nitro drew back a bit. Gloria tapped on the touchscreen of her R.I.B.B.E.T.S.
Gloria uses COOKING!
There was a static buzz as a campfire appeared on the sand, followed by a metal rack and stand. Nitro leaned forward to inspect it.
"Cooool," whistled Nitro.
There was another buzz as a heavy iron cooking pot materialized over his head. Bonk! Nitro rubbed the lump growing on the back of his head.
"Sorry, Nitro. I should've warned you," apologized Gloria. "Let me have that urchin." Gloria dropped the urchin into the pot. Everyone watched as the pot bubbled. Suddenly, a cloud of steam puffed up around the pot. When the steam cleared, a single bowl of soup sat on the sand where the fire and pot had been.
Obtained Urchin Soup!
"Wow, it worked!" exclaimed Gloria. "I LOVE COOKING!" Nitro bent down and picked up the bowl.
"Mmmmm! Gloria, this smells delici… Ahh, that's hot!" Nitro squealed and tossed the bowl into the air. Everyone watched in silence as the bowl sailed through the sky.
A little way down the beach, a small fiddler crab looked up at the bowl as it flew towards him. He tucked his eye stalks in and pulled one large claw over his head. The bowl landed upside down with a boiling splash over the unfortunate crab.
The frogs looked on in horror. Nitro finally broke the silence.
"I'd hate to be that guy. Know what I'm sayin'?"
Suddenly, the ground began to shake! The bowl exploded, and a cloud of sand launched into the air. An ominous whooshing sound and battle music came from the R.I.B.B.E.T.S.s.
"I don't like the sound of that," squeaked Dexter.
The dust cloud cleared, revealing the fiddler crab. He was now two feet tall, red, and covered in spikes!
Meanie approaches!
"Good job, Nitro," Lance spoke for the first time. The frogs leapt to their feet and assumed a battle formation. Lance and Penelope stood in the front, Nitro in the middle, and Dexter and Gloria in the rear. As the crab began to come closer, R.I.B.B.E.T.S displayed the battle order.
Dexter's turn!
"Alright, let's see what you've got," said Dexter.
Dexter uses ANALYZE!
A pair of green-lensed goggles appeared on Dexter's head.
"Lvl. 3 Grumpy Crab. Happy Points: –84. My skill level isn't high enough to see his Tolerance, but if I had to guess, I'd say it's pretty high," said Dexter.
Penelope's turn!
"Bah, I'm not prepared! I have 'GIFT', but I don't have anything to give him yet," lamented Penelope.
Penelope passes!
Gloria's turn!
"Okay, let's see if this works," said Gloria.
Gloria uses SYMPATHTIC EAR!
"Tell me how you feel, Mr. Crab," said Gloria.
Grumpy Crab receives 4 HP!
Grumpy Crab's turn!
Grumpy Crab uses INSULT!
"How do you think I feel, lady? You're stupid soup scalded me!" shouted the Meanie. Gloria looked mortified.
Gloria loses 12 HP!
"That is one grumpy crab," said Dexter.
Nitro's turn!
"Wait, I didn't learn any 'NICE' skills yet!" said Nitro.
"I have an idea," said Lance. "Nitro, use your 'FISHING' skill."
"What good is that going to do?" asked Nitro.
"Just trust me," said Lance calmly as the crab got closer. Nitro shrugged.
Nitro uses FISHING…?
Nitro cast his line out and soon pulled in a small sea bream.
Obtained Small Sea Bream!
Lance's turn!
"Okay, give it to Penelope," said Lance.
"Huh, why me?" Penelope was taken aback by the suggestion that she should touch an icky fish.
"Your turn is next since you passed last time. I apologize in advance," said Lance.
"Wha… Hey, wait!" shrieked Penelope.
Lance uses FRIENDTHROWER!
Lance picked up Penelope and launched her at the approaching crab. A wave of tears flowed from Penelope's eyes as she soared through the air, clutching the icky sea bream.
She landed with her mouth open in the sand in front of the Grumpy Crab. He stopped and sniffed at the fish in her outstretched hand.
Penelope's turn!
Penelope uses GIFT!
"Mmmmm! My favorite!" said the Meanie as he reached down and grabbed the fish with his claw.
It's super-effective!
Grumpy Crab received 96 HP!
Grumpy Crab is happy!
With a poof of glittery pink smoke, the Meanie turned back into a fiddler crab and happily scuttled away with his meal. Victory music played from the R.I.B.B.E.T.S.s.
The party gains 30 experience!
Gloria is now level 2!
The word "LEVEL!" bounced above Gloria's head in a glowing green.
"YEEEEEES, WE WON!" screeched Gloria excitedly.
"Hey, why is Gloria the only one who leveled-up?" complained Nitro.
"Everyone levels-up at different rates," explained Dexter.
"Ptoo!" Penelope spit out sand and cleared her throat. Her eyes burned with blue flames. Everyone fell silent.
"Run," said Lance.

If you are experiencing joint pain, you have many choices when it comes to products that can help alleviate symptoms. One product called, Litozin, is now being manufactured in the United Kingdom and was created especially for the many joint pain sufferers. This product is designed to help alleviate all of the aggravating symptoms of joint issues, including pain and inflammation, as well as joint stiffness and mobility loss.
The product was manufactured by a British company called Lanes Health and their secure website is simple and user friendly. It provides consumer product use testimonials, as well as other information specific to the causes and treatment of joint pain. A U.S. consumer can purchase a decent sized portion of Litozin for just $40 through the website.
Facts About Litozin
The only ingredient found in Litozin is rosehip powder. This is an all-natural substance that contains an ingredient that can reduce joint pain with greater success than traditional over the counter pain relievers. One such study purported that the special ingredient found in rosehip powder (called, GOPO) reduced pain in over 80% trial participants in just three weeks. Because Litozin is a naturally occurring organic material, it should be considered safe to use and free of any harmful chemicals. Many other join pain products contain parabens, which are chemicals used as preservatives that can cause allergic reactions in some users.
When testing out whether Litozin is right for you, it is best to take 3 pills per day, twice each day, for 3-5 weeks. After this initial period, you can reduce your intake to 2 pills, twice per day, simply for joint maintenance. If you are not comfortable swallowing capsules, Litozin can also be purchased in a powder form that can then be added to water.
Positive Aspects of Litozin-
- 100% all natural product
- Positive testimonials from consumers
- Active ingredient is clinically tested
- Available in capsule and powder form
- Customer discounts are available
- Contains just one natural ingredient, no fillers
Negative Aspects of Litozin-
- Produced only in the U.K.
- No guarantees are provided
- Rosehips can cause stomach upset
Although Litozin is manufactured in the U.K. there are many U.S. brands available. Using all natural products like Litozin to treat joint pain is simply a smart idea. Do not waste money buying ineffective over the counter remedies that contain harmful parabens, when Litozin provides a safe and effective natural alternative.

Has anyone tried putting sourround sound into their car? I know this might sound rediculous but i think it would be good for audio. I was planning on taking the digital out on Mac Mini and putting in receiver and using exisitng speakers and bass
No announcement yet.
Full Surround Sound
new posts
Full Surround SoundCant code cause I dont know how, but give me the paint bucket and my eraser and have at you!Tags: None
It has been done. Although I don't know exactly how much you'll notice the difference because the space is too small, and you're not exactly sitting in the center either. But, overall, I do think it would be a nice difference to the stereo ones in the car (probably... )
Eh, I wouldnt want it. I end up running my car with only my front speakers, rears are turned off. In a space as small as the car, rear speakers just fight with the front speakers. Surround sound is made for a large room playing movies.
Edit: Added website from a pretty smart speaker guy: http://www.betteraudio.com/Geolemon/...e/multiple.htm
you can place the sound exactly where you want
mine is 4 channel, I think it sounds great. I run software that came with my soundblaster XFI to simulate surrond for music (which is stereo) and DVD's and such are run in 4 channel surrond.
The simulated surrond for music is great for the front passengers, there is allot of filler noise in the back, so the sound is not as good in the rear seats.My Install

4 speaker or 4.1 surround is great in a car depending...
If you listen to mp3's and what not, hten stick with stereo, or at most add a center channel. Other than that, 4 speaker is great. Balance is your main concern. If you have the software, you can preset the balance for what's best if you're a passenger, a driver, or all. the guys in the back can suffer. 5.1 is pretty pointless, as others have said. You really don't want to add too many speakers. Physics and sound waves teaches you many things, one is the constructive and destructive properties of propogating waves, among things. after 4 speakers and asub, surround or not, you're just hurting yourself.Carputer Progress: Here we go again...

I'm planning to run a full Dolby Digital/DTS surround system in my car. I've purchased the new soundcard from Auzentech (the X-Plosion) that converts any 2-channel signal to a full Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound signal and sends it out via an optical port... then I'm going to run that to an Alpine MRA-F350 DSP DD/DTS amplifier.
Hopefully it'll sound pretty good after some tuning. I'll post some pics of it and such when I get it. I'm going to be hooking up the carputer to my home receiver to see how it sounds on my 5.1 surround setup.... maybe that'll give me a good idea how it will sound in the car. Good luck!
Originally posted by madedHow would you tune the MRA-F350? Or would you just be tuning the EQ (if any) via the carputer?
I'm askin cuz i'm thinking about going this route as well.. thanks!
is there a headunit that i can get a digital signal to? cause my integrated sound card has a digital output. I love Macs. lolCant code cause I dont know how, but give me the paint bucket and my eraser and have at you!
u can get a dital processor whit will have digital in, and then all the rca's out.
or u might want to look at digital amps
Don't do that. Yoru car is completely differnt that your house. You won't get a good gauge. Tuning will be hell.
Okay, if your set on doing that, then okay, but you need to skip the head unit all together and link directly to your amp. If your amp doesn't have optical in, then forget about it unless you're willing to shell out for a digi amp.
Now, please, dont' see this as me being negative, i'm interested in your progress on this. I'm jsut saying there are a few probelsm that you need to accept and/or resolve when you get it all done.Carputer Progress: Here we go again...

It's actually not that hard at all to put 5.1 in your car, there are very few problems with the 5.1 or 4.1 as most people skip out on the center channel.
The difference is like mcDonalds cofee vs Starbucks.
With Mp3's you'll hear the difference when tuned correctly. The discerning ear can do this easily, one who doesn't care, most likely will not notice the difference.
But if I could break it down for you with one question it's this: Do you want stereo 2 channel sound coming from all your speakers using left -> right channels. Or would you like the sound to be 3 dimensional driving each speaker with seperate sounds?
It isn't perfect surround sound but with today's DSP's and 5.1 hardware in computer cards, it's very good.
Everybody usually discards information like the above as it's too small a space to make any difference. I'll give you a lessen in sound and you can tell me from a mathematical\physics perspective that I'm wrong, your ears may deceive you but math and physics always tell the truth.
Consider this, with 2 channels left and right and you have 5,6,or 7 speakers. There is a considerable overlap from front and back speakers (some people call it filler, it's more like sound traffic). With same sounds coming from front to back and back to front you get a certain amount of cross cancelation. Using crossovers solves some of the problem but not a lot. In order to get true clarity you need to have 4 or more channels BEFORE you send it to the crossovers to deal with.
ALL amps and crossover hardware is geared toward separation of sound...this is there function. But why not help it along before muxing sound for it to sort out when you can do it via the DSP chipsets in the computer? Then your seperate sound goes to the individual channel and sound clearer and crisper.
For the above reason alone it's a great thing. Now for cool sounds wizzing around your head arguement many people think the small space is too small for anyone to notice that. When in fact this is mostly untrue. People's ears and sound space even in a yugo can benifit from surround sound. You will hear sound wizzing around your head if you have a true surround sound decoder and source such as DVD's sound track. If you've designed your sound system well, you can even get a surround sound card that will emulate and split out the stereo source and upsample it to a surround soundish output. This kind of hardware is growing in features and is coming down big time. I can say that most 6.1 and 7.1 and some higher end 5.1 chipsets are producing a quality that is satisfactory for most audio aficianato's.
Lastly to top it all off 80% of the people that have said you won't notice the difference have not done it to actually find out. Or have not sat in the car long enough to figure it out. Number one reason why this isn't in large done or done properly? It's a hell of a lot of work!
You might be asking if your still reading where's the math and physics? Well it's mostly in the building of the design where you'll see that work, I'm a bit of an engineer and anyone who's seen my rig and heard it know that I'm good at it and they have all noted my sound is amazingly clear.
I do this on a budget. My rig cost me under $1500 for the whole system and I do it with garage sale parts meaning someone thought their speakers were crap and threw them at me for measily $100. Well most of the equipment is great as the technology in the early 80's and 90's still works well especially when you've got a computer as the back end driver.
Note this everyone...an AMP will take sound and amplify it even a ****ty one will do. But some of these guys that did sound competition's in the 90's are selling there rig cheap. And the higher end amps like alpine and PPI are great to use. The computer's DSP's bring the whole system a new life that no head-unit sub $1000 will do. This is my opinion and I've proved it.
I have a sony XEC-1000 old school crossover, a Rodek 2150i AMP monster amp and pumps out hard! And old *** Acustic sound 10" subs, I'd get rid of them if they didn't sound so good right now...they're probably worth $2 on the market today. I've also invested in a 4 channel Alpine amp to drive the other 6 speakers. The rest of my system is a stock RSX type-S sound system (6 bose speakers set). Runs nice and hard and I can't complain about a thing.Zerach

good post!
I agree with much of what Zerach said. I am by no means an expert on car audio sound. When i planned out my carputer, I planned it to be at least 4 channels (I originally thought i might do a 5th center up front) and thought most of the setups were configured to be 4 or more channels.
There is a definate difference in sound when i switch between stereo and 4 channel. After spending awhile playing with the settings it sounds awesome, much better then stereo. Again rear passengers might not feel the same, but for me it is rare that i have one.My Install

Dereck Chisora is a disgrace to boxing
What a pathetic scumbag.
1 Attachment(s)
Both Haye and Chisora should be suspended for a year for that, that is no way to behave and represent your country. Chisora always came acoss as a bit of a character but he shown a nasty dark side this weekend.
I had to laugh that the Klitschko Brothers were just sitting back and laughing their heads off while this was all happening.
If Haye wants a fight so bad, this is no way to go about it, and Chisora's behaviour shows he isn't ready for the big stage, and can't handle the pressure of a big fight just yet.
Stiff penalties all round I say!
They're both an embarassment to their sport and country. The Klitschkos have so much class to not retaliate to that thug spitting and slapping them.
What the hell was everybody doing just letting Chisora walk up to Haye like that? Oh I wonder what is going to happen when two lippy heavyweight boxers are that close to eachother. Pathetic from security.
Makes me proud of the UFC and MMA in general. Much more class than that.

Both are a disgrace but Haye bottled him AND if you watch the replay. The cut on Hayes managers forhead comes from when Haye swung the tripod.
There are photos of Haye 'bottling' Chisora. what an utter prick.
Chisora is acting like a dick because he has no real skill as a boxer. One of the people he has beat his Lee Swaby, who now works on the doors at some crappy nightclub where I live. The first real fighter he fought was the dude whos name I stole for my username. Tyson Fury. And Chisora lost. In his last 4 fights he is now 1-3. He had no business being in the ring with either Klitschko brother. I think Vitali knew this and is why he didn't react to Chisoras taunts.
Hes trying to use smacktalk to elevate his career. Sounds familiar!

Heading west to Bordeaux
... with plenty of people out enjoying the weather. The area where i am staying has a middle east culture, where there are a few bazaar's and markets. Makes for an interesting change.
No i did not go and visit some of the biggest wineries in Europe near Bordeaux, i dont have any interest in wine any more. Plus a lot of the Chateau's had retail outlets in the city.
What a great part of France, really nice polite people living in a great city.
An amazing day in Bordeaux
... anywhere but France. Plus we went into a Basque chocolate shop, a specialty food shop, the Maison du Vin which was a sort of formal wine bar where you could have a glass of a selection of fabulous wines. Also we found the Musée des Beaux Arts and spent some time there. And we walked half way across the bridge - Bordeaux is near the mouth of the Garonne. It is huge here, and will be joined by the Dordogne river, before they both combined flow into the ...
Paris without being in Paris
... decadence when dining out in Bordeaux. The food was amazing (although we did pass on the frogs legs and snails)
Fran tells me the Bordeaux shopping was wonderful.
Well, how does Bordeaux compare with Paris?
Will let you know very soon.
Au revoir
I am a long black drinker, so probably not the best judge of a cappuccino.
Bastille Day
... down daily for months at a time so shouldn't be too surprised. Will hurt though to have to pay over 500 GP pounds for a new replacement one though.
Set off in good time for us - after drying out etc were on the road by 9.30am, about the earliest start yet. Derailed though by stopping 0.5km later at a food shop, where it was Roger's turn to go in for the daily food shop. Just after he'd gone I noticed a young girl arrive on her ...
Bordeaux, the land of wine
... that they are no longer serving. There is also so much red meat on the menu, it seem to be beef, duck or tuna, I am really craving chicken. I guess I need to get used to the beef, as Argentina is next, so it might be awhile before chicken is back on the menu. While there are plenty of wine shops and restaurants, there doesn't seem to be as many bars or even wine bars, that give you the opportunity to try different wines from the region. There is however an abundance ...

Antonio UnmaskedMature
Midnight came and went.
The moon moved across the sky as the seventh day of the outbreak began. A week had passed and in that week the fires had truly burnt out, the ashes were growing cold and the number of rotting corpses trudging along through the streets seemed to increase.
Splotches and splashes of crimson blood, were replaced by smudges and blots of inky black blood. Those bodies far too damaged to come back were starting to rot, as a swarm of buzzing flies began feasting away slowly on the greying flesh of those that lay truly dead. The buzzing of the flies seemed to be the only other hum in the city of Delham. Other than that of the endless hissing of the Black Dead themselves.
In the dead of the night, thirteen survivors of this outbreak twisted and turned within their slumbers. Quincey Jones however was not one to lie around. Especially when his curiosity was too great.
The loud man had an amazing gift for being quiet when he needed to be, besides he hadn't told anyone much about his past. Or what had happened to him in this building. A cauldron of bad memories came frothing to the surface when he thought about it.
It happened on the roof. Years ago. He didn't like to recall it any more than he had too yet as he watched the others come over the rope he shook like a leaf when he saw that they almost fell and a few did, yet he had to maintain his light facade. It would keep Rose calm and the other's drew off his optimism and jokes, he couldn't drop it because he got scared for a few minutes.
Besides right now, he had more pressing matters on his mind.
He waited as Delilah and Rose dropped off next to him and Rose slept like a baby, Quincey was glad for this. Yet she could sense that like him, she hid her inner fears through a light facade. Call it a sibling thing but he could just tell what his ten year old sister really hid behind her bright blue eyes.
As for Delilah, she was slowly de-frosting and warming to Quincey, he was glad for this, admittedly he had a little crush on the mixed race beauty, with her luscious black curls and piercing green eyes. As she slept she turned over and leant on Quincey's arm, he had to lift himself up carefully as he gently set her head on the pillow before he departed his face burning as he did.
He liked his roomates. Loved them. There were people he disliked here *cough Stephanie cough* some he wasn't sure about (Mariam) and others that needed to know more about and Antonio was such a person. Delilah curiosity over his mask today surfaced with her question, this also rekindled Quincey's interest with the man and why he was adamant on wearing that black mask all day long.
All day long.
"He can't go to bed with it on" Quincey thought, praising his inner genius.
So know he was just going to take a "peek" at the face under the mask. To see what Antonio really looked like it can't have been that bad for him to hide it all the time. He knew where the Spanish man's room was, creaking open the door nervously, he glimpsed inside and caught a figure lying face down on the bed.
"Bingo!" Quincey mouthed.
He shut the door behind him without making any noise, he was tempted to let Stanley in on this. But the kid was loud and Quincey didn't want to risk being caught by Stephanie, how would he explain himself? Being caught outside her son's room in the dead of night? She'd get the wrong idea and order a petition to have him thrown at the stumblers when they ran out of nails to use.
He crept along closer to Antonio on his tip toes. So focused on the sleeping man, he didn't notice the tripwire he set up on the floor next to his bed. Quincey felt his foot snag on something before he could gain his balance, he toppled to the floor, he hit the floor face first as he kicked, something on a nearby drawer went flying and Quincey yelped aloud. Add that the to dull thud when he hit the floor, this caused enough noise for Antonio to bolt awake.
Alarmed, he instantly reached for his mask on the side table Quincey however was up before Antonio could, determined to see what the man was hiding from them all. He sprung onto the bed, pushing Antonio's hand's to the floor. Antonio tried to kick out of his grip, but Quincey leapt on him. Pinning him down...
"NO MIRE!" Antonio roared.
"C'mon dude! You're face can't be that...!" Quincey began, he finished as he finally glanced at Antonio's face.
There were two things shocked him.
Antonio had a fine lock, of very wavy, curly like, sleek back hair, an a perfect golden tan. Expect Quincey realised Antonio can't have been forty or thirty like he previously predicted. Antonio was. (To be quite frank) A teenager! He can't have been more than twenty years old. His face smooth with youth, with no stubble coating his jaw as Quincey had imagined.
And secondly Quincey had seen that Antonio had one deep bronze eye, so he saw one deep bronze eye staring back at him.
There was no other eye.
One half of Antonio's face was that of a handsome young hispanic man. The other was... a mess, to put it politely.
Three massive scratch marks, had gouged themselves into his face, right down to the muscles on his cheeks, his empty eye socket was as black as could be, Quincey could even glimpse the bit of skull behind the damaged flesh on the left side of his face. The three gouges in his face extended from the tip of his forehead right down to his chin.
Although his nose and mouth were intact just fine, It had looked as though his left cheek was beyond recognition, the left side of his face also seemed to sag slightly compared to his right side. Not expecting to find such horrific scars, Quincey backed away from the lad, rather shocked.
"Dude what the hell happened to your face!?" Quincey asked in horror.
Antonio dug up his trusted dictionary, finally he muttered "Is-It-Ugly?" he made no attempt to cover his face now that Quincey had seen it. Instead he hung it in shame Quincey felt bad for him "No-it's not ugly, no ugly!" he repeated. He could tell Antonio saw behind that lie.
Quincey approached him slowly, as he rubbed his facial wounds.
"How did this happen to you?" he muttered.
"They- scratched me" was all he could utter.
"It must have hurt like hell" Quincey mused.
"Yes, hurt" Antonio echoed rather distantly.
There was a silence between the pair of them for a couple of seconds.
"But why, hide it?" Quincey asked lifting the black mask on the desk, Antonio knew instantly what he was asking. "No want to scare people" he said sadly.
"C'mon there has got to be more than that one reason!"
Antonio finally caved in at Quincey's persistence.
"Me, no look like them!" He said seriously grabbing Quincey by his slumping shoulders and forcing him to look at his face.
"No you don't look like the monsters" Quincey said rather simply yet he said it without thinking first and as Antonio let him go it was then that he did think about it.
Wait, what if Antonio was infected?
Delilah had said it only took one drop to turn and if he had his face demolished by the dead, then surely one drop would have entered his system.
"Delilah also said it takes up to 30 seconds to an hour to turn, he would have turned by now if he had" The rational part of him argued.
"Then why haven't his wounds healed? You saw them Quincey, admit it they looked odd" The paranoid part of him spoke up.
His mind was fumbling for an answer, did all the infected need to be shambling corpses it was spread through fluids. His mind reached a conclusion, his heart seemed to fail.
The only thing he could do after that was promise Antonio he wouldn't tell anyone and that he was fine. Getting the message Antonio thanked him, as Quincey slowly crept out of the room once again. Antonio seemed at ease now Quincey had explained himself and seemingly saw his "secret" as nothing to worry about.
But as Quincey laid back in bed next to Delilah, he was the one now on edge.
Antonio had hidden his wound for a good purpose, because if other people saw it they would wonder why it hadn't healed. Why it looked odd. Questions would arise and he had asked Quincey that question for a reason. No he didn't look like the dead.
But he knew, and Antonio probably knew deep down too, he wasn't a walking corpse, but he was infected. He had to be. Or maybe Quincey was over-thinking the situation.
Either way, he was wary of Antonio now one drop of his fluids was all it took, for one of his loved one's to become infected.
They had one of the Black Dead among them.

F'N Torx bolts!!!
Well I stripped out 2 F'N torx bolts trying to remove them to install my new kc slim lites on some windshield mount brackets. So now I've got to locate some replacements. I tried to search on this site and the Internet but I keep coming across replacement windshield hinge bolts. The bolts that I stripped out are not on the hinge itself but instead are the 2 above the hinge on the passenger side windshield channel. I quess what I'm trying to ask is, are all the torx bolts the same size and type on the windshield except for the long black one with the washer on it? Can I use hinge bolts to replace these bolts that I stripped out? Thanks for the help,
Did you take out the screw after all or is it still in there? If yes than take it to your local ACE HARDWARE store and see if they have replacements. You should be able to find the same ones in no time and then paint them if you need to so they are the same color as the body. New screw from ace would cost ya 20-30 cents.
To remove those bolts, take a good torx 3/8 socket, not a cheapie cast one like the auto parts stores sell but a good one with a seperate socket and torx insert.
Take a 1/2" ratchet and a 3/8 to 1/2 adapter, put the adapter on the torx socket, set it in the torx bolt to be removed, smack it once with a ballpeen hammer, this will bottom out the torx and force the paint in the hole to flow around the torx bit. Don't let go of the socket or move it, then put the 1/2 inch ratchet on and using a strong steady pressure break it loose. I've probably done 20 or more TJ windshield removals this way, guy at a jeep recycling yard showed me this method. Keep a strong steay pushing pressure on the back of the ratchet with the heel of your free hand to keep it seated as far down as possible, I put my whole body in that part.
lol no offence but torx bolts suk badly.
This is the best method ive found for getting stuck torx bolts out without stripping them. I attempted to remove the torx bolts on my bumper last night without doing this first and they would budge. Then I went and got a hammer, gave each one a good couple raps with the hammer with the driver still in the bolt, and with steady force they came out with no problems.
Every single one of my torx srews are stripped. Thats why I have 2 on each light bracket.
Thanks for the help fellas. I wasn't sure if this was a specialty bolt? I went to M&D Supply down the road and found some stainless allen head screws with the same bolt pattern and length cost me a total of about $6. You guys are the sh**!
RichP, I used your method after i had given two of my screws a trip to the dumpster already. It took me 2 hrs, a chisel, 3 drill bits, and an ez out to get one of those SOB's out. Thank God Snap On makes some KICK ASS Ez outs because I was fixing to just give up.
Life Lesson #1---be prepared, ask around for advice before starting projects.
Life Lesson #2---If you bypassed Lesson #1--Get a Hammer :crash:and some beer...It's going to be a long day!!!
Thanks again for all of the help guys.:punk:
You can get new bolts here:
4665 Fannett
Beaumont, TX 77705
Every bolt you can imagine. If it's only a couple you might get them free, they did for me when I needed two for my light mounts. They may even have a good kit for removing stripped bolts.
