My take on Depression
I've posted a lot of stuff on here about Depression, so I'm not sure if there's much I can say I haven't already said here, but I'll try.
As I'm writing this, I'm actually having one of my better days. As well as depression, anxiety and sleeping issues, I have SAD which is seasonal affective disorder. This means I get even more depressed at winter. During December it isn't too bad. I have Christmas, new years and my birthday to look forward. January is usually the worst month. Its February now though, so I'm leaving the slump a little. I probably won't start feeling better until April/May though as is usually the case with my SAD. Once that's passed all I have to worry about is watching my own emotions.
Mine are a little hard to predict. I can completely content one moment, and then with zero warning, sad the next. It can make things frustrating and I get annoyed and blame myself. Which is the absolute worst thing to do as you can guess. But that's what depression stems from most of the time. Self-blame and self-doubt. Lack of self-esteem.
I find that last one to be particularly difficult. In most parts of my life I don't feel I have low self-esteem. Usually what happens is I make a dumb mistake, one that doesn't really bother anyone. Yet my mind escalates it to full-blown, being-fired-worthy disaster. My head does that a lot. Worries that thing will be worse than they are.
If you asking how I deal with depression my answer is pretty short: I'm stubborn. I don't take any type of pills, I did once and it ended badly (panic attacks aren't fun!). I have had a round of specialised therapy to deal with a past issue. The sleeping issues are a recent change and so I'm now being referred for CBT to see if that'll help as well. Until I start it I won't have any real opinions. My boyfriend who suffers from anxiety says its good though, so I'm positive.
Back to my answer. I'm an army brat, which probably plays a part. My dad's always been a 'get up and carry on' type. While at times that was irritating as hell cause I needed to talk, it has given me the ability to grit my teeth and endure the sad tides. I generally recognise when its starting to happen and yank myself out of bed fast. I force myself to do anything. Even if its reading a page of one book, watching a single episode and then some writing. I tend to switch chaotically from project to project when I'm down. I think when this was badly controlled it's the main reason I start so many stories I never finish.
My writing is, and always had been, a huge source of strength for me (When it isn't being my biggest weakness, but that's later). In my teens I didn't know what was going on or how to cope, so I perfected escapism. I'm pretty sure its why most people choose to imagine other worlds and people. It wasn't until I was thirteen that the idea of writing down my stories really occurred. I'd dabbled in poetry but not much. Writing remained a constant thing I could turn to when I needed distraction from my own life.
When I finished college, deciding not to go university, I was in a pretty low place. I was applying for jobs but getting no interviews. I found protag through a friend and everything changed. Having a community I could share my writing with and get feedback really helped. If you didn't guess, I want to be a published author one day. This is where my writing can be my biggest weakness at times.
I have since learnt that when I'm in a depressive sump about my writing, to stay the hell away from it. Or concentrate on a side-project I'm not too fussed about being perfect. I have no clue if any of this is helpful or not, I just kind of started ranting a little. My main piece of advice to others going through depression is basically don't give up. There's a positive, you just have to look for it.
Take enjoyment out of the mundane. Start writing lists. At the end of everyday, note 5 things that were great that day. Even if one of those is just eating ice cream or hugging a loved one. Starting a diary is useful, you start to notice the patterns of your mood dips. It wasn't until three years ago that I realised I had SAD as well. I just assumed it was always depression. Do something random as well. Dress up for absolutely no reason other than to feel good – and don't stare too hard in the mirror, you look amazing. Decide to bake a cake for no reason. If it turns out bad, oh well. Learn to shrug away the bad things and errors. They happen. As I always like to say – You're a perfectly flawed human being :)

Dealers soon heaved a sigh of relief and equilibrium was restored when they heard that human error had caused the fall. A ham-fisted dealer in the German futures market created chaos by pushing the wrong button, selling 5,000 lots of EuroStoxx in the DAX futures contract.
Nevertheless it put the wind up many investors and they took profits after recent tasty gains. With Wall Street closed for Thanksgiving Day tomorrow and open for only half a day on Friday, it didn't seem a bad idea to take a back seat. The Footsie fell 54.5 points, before closing 39.3 points easier at 5298.7.
Wall Street opened 77 down following news of a record decline in the US trade deficit in September to $18.7bn from $27.1bn in August. Bears growled that it surely must dampen hopes for a further early reduction in US interest rates.
An easier dollar saw sterling rally from $1.4140 to $1.4215. The euro firmed to 88.4 cents.
A combination of recovery and revived bid hopes helped music giant EMI, which lost £54m in the first half, touch 339 3/4p before closing 13 1/4p better at 331p.
Financial Times publisher Pearson fell 40 1/2p to 839 1/2p after ABN Amro downgraded the stock to reduce. The broker expects the US education publishing market to slow markedly in 2002.
BSkyB lost 30p to 830p ahead of the satellite broadcaster's re-weighting in the Morgan Stanley Capital International indices on November 30. It will see a shift to a free-float basis and Rupert Murdoch's 36% stake will be excluded.
Oils took a turn for the better after the Russian Deputy Prime Minister Viktor Khristenko said he expects OPEC and rival producers will agree soon on measures to stabilise the global oil market. Shell gushed 19 1/2p to 494p, BP 19p to 528p and Enterprise 16p to 446p.
Technology stocks succumbed to heavy profit-taking. Logica lost 89p to 876p. ARM Holdings dropped 31 1/4p to 411 3/4p, with sentiment here not helped by rumours of a possible merger between Palm and Handspring which are among the leading manufacturers in ARM's key Personal Digital Assistant market.
CML Microsystems lost 95p to 412 1/2p on static interim profits and a warning that the company will have difficulty in meeting previous year earnings. Semiconductor shipment schedules for the third quarter are running 50% below anticipated levels.
South African computer services giant Dimension Data dropped 17p to 101p after Morgan Stanley downgraded ahead of today's results. A Merrill Lynch downgrade left Computacenter 37p lower at 286 1/2p.
Eyretel,which develops call centre software and hardware, advanced 5 1/2p to 93p. Turnover swelled to almost 40m after broker UBS Warburg placed 37.4m shares with institutional clients at 90p a share. Seller of the 20.1% shareholding was venture capitalist group Apax.
Luton airport operator TBI shed 2 1/2p to 56p despite chairman Stan Thomas's purchase of 2.2m shares at an average 58 1/2p.
Reflecting increased market activity, broker Teather & Greenwood rose 17p to 118 1/2p and Collins Stewart 10p to 386p.
Ferraris, the medical products company, jumped 17p to 230 1/2p after recording its seventh consecutive year of record earnings growth.
Celsis International closed 4 1/4p down at 12 1/2p after warning of a sharp fall off in activity in September.
Spread betting giant IG Group jumped 26 1/2p to a record high of 647 1/2p. Word is that the newsflow will be bullish in the coming weeks.
Xpertise almost trebled to 10p before closing 4 3/4p better at 8 1/2p after website Sharecast suggested that a £1.2m fundraising and disposal of a loss-making division was imminent.

Thread: Attack of the Dandelions
Attack of the Dandelions
Part of our lawn is being overtaken by dandelions. We've struggled with getting grass to grow well on one side. Last year, I worked furiously....digging out bag upon bags of dandelions. This spring, I'm disheartened to see just as many as I had last year. I dug up two five gallon buckets full, but then decided I was running out of time before they turned to seed. So...here's hoping the boiling water method will work. Any other suggestions? I could also use some tips on overseeding our lawn in order to choke them out.
I was thinking of vinegar but not sure how to go about doing so...besides spraying the root of weed in cracks in the cement or digging out the roots and spraying the hole and area around it with vinegar.
I also found this article: Kill Dandelion Weeds in Lawn Organically | North Coast Gardening

We use a pre-emergent broadleaf "weed and feed" in the early spring. It fertilizes the grass and prevents a variety of weeds.Come on people now

Not to be disrespectful of your attempt toget rid of your dandelions, but Debbie-cat would have loved your abundance when she was in her 'cook, make wine and do many wonderful things with dandelions' last year!!
Good luck!! We have never had dandelions on Maui - I saw them last spring in a new subdivision - talk about invasive species!!04-11-2010, 04:50 PM #604-11-2010, 06:01 PM #7

And if your neighbors ---are close enough----and have them and don't treat them.......you won't ever get rid of all of them. Sad to say........

How about a dandelion rake? It won't kill them, but it is easy and quick to use, and it clips the flowers and buds off before they go to seed. Non-toxic, so it won't hurt kids or pets.04-12-2010, 11:59 AM #11

Don't get rid of them! They are completely edible - flowers, leaves, roots......
If you are in a preparedness frame of mind, a large patch of dandelions is a blessing to have! Most people have no idea you can eat them. It's kinda like having food storage right out in the open.04-12-2010, 06:22 PM #13

Yes, eat them! We batter the flower heads and fry. Yummy!
Greens make great salad with a bacon dressing.
Roots make tea that help lower blood pressure and is a liver tonic.

Nintendo has revealed its intentions to get into the movie business over the coming years.
Company CEO and president Tatsumi Kimishima has given an interview to Japanese publication Asahi Shimbun in which he outlines the company's cinematic plans. He says that the video game giant wants to attain global success within five years with its fresh push into video production.
Of course, Nintendo has a short and unpleasant history with Hollywood, having endorsed the production of the truly disastrous Super Mario Bros. movie back in 1993. That movie 'adaptation' (we use the term loosely) starred everyone's favourite pint-sized cockney, the late Bob Hoskins, as everyone's favourite Italian-American plumber.
Suffice to say, it was no-one's favourite film.
It seems Nintendo has learned its lesson from that ordeal - and its subsequent success with the Pokemon movies - and will likely steer clear of live action. The report claims that Nintendo could dip its toes into 3D animation, and is apparently in talks with films companies about possible collaborations.
Related: Everything we know about the Nintendo NX
So will these films feature Nintendo's leading mascot, Mario, or perhaps Link from the Legend of Zelda series?
"We'd like to use IP that is popular with everyone. I can't say 'it'll be Mario' — just that we'll do things that people will be familiar with," said Kimishima (via The Verge).
According to AP, it seems even Nintendo itself hasn't decided whether we'll be seeing these films in theatres, or whether they'll go straight-to-DVD.

These consist of our own standard and reserve patterns of Rifles, Machine-guns, Light Machine-guns, Machine-carbines, and Pistols, together with many different varieties and calibres of similar weapons from the U.S.A. It may fall to the lot of anyone in any of the services in battle to require to know how to use any particular one of the various weapons with which he may possibly come in contact. It must be remembered that the man on service may also have the opportunity of employing captured weapons against the enemy. This adds to the extent of the knowledge necessary for the man in the services who desires to make himself an efficient "man-at-arms". This little book, therefore, has been produced with the intention of summarizing the main items of requisite knowledge about each of the following weapons: (i) Our own small arm weapons.

Red-Vested Rockstar: Meet Sasha
Why she rocks: "I'm currently a junior at Eastview High School and started volunteering because I wanted to get exposure to what being a volunteer meant. Children's was a great fit for me because I felt like I was really making a difference in the lives of the kids and families I was interacting with. I love being able to come in every week and meet someone new!"
What is your favorite thing to do outside of volunteering? "I love to volunteer as a hobby, but outside of that, I like spending time with my friends – especially when I don't have school. I also enjoy watching movies and traveling!"
Do you have any kids or pets of your own? "I don't have any pets but I did own a beta fish for a couple of years!"
If you could create a new candy bar, what would be in it and what would you name it? "If I could create a candy bar it would definitely have lots of chocolate and peanut butter and I would call it 'Chocolate Peanut Bar'."
Share a favorite volunteer experience or story: "My favorite volunteering experience was a couple of months ago. I was playing with a young patient in his crib while a nurse came and checked on him. He started getting fussy and the nurse was trying to distract him with toys but it was hard to multitask so I was asked to help. It felt really great to not only be able to distract the patient and make him feel more comfortable, but to also help out the staff since they're always so busy and put so much effort into what they do."

Kevin Pietersen is hoping to make the most of his brief stint with South African side the Dolphins ahead of what he expects to be a very tough winter.
The England batsman is desperate to get back to his best for the Ashes tour to Australia after a mediocre summer in which he made just one score of over 50 in Test cricket.
The 30-year-old held his first net session since arriving in South Africa yesterday and admitted afterwards how he was looking forward to the two four-day games for the Durban franchise.
"I am out here now to try and put things right, to spend some time in the middle and work a lot harder than I have worked before so that I am in the best nick possible come the Ashes tour," he said.
"My role here is not just for my own benefit.
"Hopefully it will also benefit some of the guys who want to ask questions and want to speak to me about playing on the big stage.
"It is time to start giving back and to realise that there are a lot of young players that do look up to senior players.
"I am 30 years old now. I have probably got to the top of the fence and am on the way down now.
"It is encouraging and nice if you can help somebody else."
Pietersen, who last scored a Test century since the tour of West Indies last March, was dropped for the recent limited-overs series against Pakistan due to poor form.
He was then loaned to county side Surrey, where he showed signs of returning to form and will be desperate to kick on from that in South Africa.
The first of his two first-class games for his former club will come against the Warriors in the city of his birth, Pietermaritzburg, starting on Thursday.
Seven days later he will play against the Titans in Durban.
Pietersen revealed that the decision to come back to Kwa-Zulu Natal was also motivated by family reasons.
He continued: "I was coming out to South Africa anyway to introduce my little boy to the rest of his family and I saw that there was an opportunity to play for the Dolphins.
"With Graham Ford being a close friend of mine I rang him up and asked if there was a possibility of me being able to train with the Dolphins and possibly play with them.
"I'm looking forward to getting some things going with Fordie and the Dolphins over the next few weeks because England has a very tough winter coming up.
"It will be a case of feeling my way in over the next few days and helping out wherever I can as well."
Looking ahead to the trip Down Under, he conceded that England will be second-favourites, but was confident they could succeed.
He added: "We are definitely underdogs because Australia in Australia is an incredible cricket team.
"They beat us 5-0 last time we were there but we are quietly confident that we can put on a really good show.
"I think we have got a really good squad and it is a squad that has matured a lot.
"It has become a really tight unit, all the guys get on well and when the going gets tough, as I know it does when you tour Australia, we have a unit that will stand together and pull through.
"We have just had a camp in Germany and the team spirit and bonding was amazing on what was quite a tough trip both mentally and physically."

Homo Sapiens we call ourselves, rulers of this Earth,
Intelligent and civilized, but what is all this worth?
We're working hard to conquer space—we landed on our Moon.
We better solve our problems here, or soon we will face doom.
New industries and factories constructed every day,
And poisoning the air we breathe—is this the price to pay?
Energy sources are shrinking now—what happens when there's none?
Will Man of Earth ever learn to work with Nature as one?
Some in this world are starving still while others hoard their gold.
Intelligent and civilized; at least, that's what we're told.
We cure disease with drugs that may cause sickness as result—
How many dearly paid for this 'experimental cult'?
We have become a plastic world where everything is fake,
From the foods we eat to how we look—when will we awake?.
We're civilized we tell ourselves, but fight our fellow man,
If only we could solve world stresses through a better plan.
With government corruption and morality sinking low…
The price of progress we may say—is this the way to grow?
We have upset Earth's balanced ways, destroying Nature's scheme—
We're intelligent and civilized—is it all a dream?
Will we ever walk on Nature's path, take her by the hand,
Restore the beauty meant to be on Earth, our dying land?
Homo Sapiens we call ourselves, rulers of this Earth,
Intelligent and civilized, but what is all this worth?

Twice a month on our tiny little Isle
A group of heroes go that extra mile
Wearing protective clothing they clean the beach
Removing vast amounts of rubbish within their reach
Plastic bottles, fast food containers and tins
Items tossed away so thoughtlessly – it's a sin
So many marine animals can get tangled in discarded plastic
They need our protection, or the results could be very drastic
Hundreds of bin bags of rubbish are removed from our beach
Restoring them to beauty, now they are as pretty as a peach
Volunteers work tirelessly with amazing solidarity
To help 'Beach Buddies' which is a registered charity

One hundred million years on Earth
There's no accounting for our worth
Without our quite amazing powers
there would be no trees or flowers
The Earth would be a barren place
No flowers to, your borders, grace
No cereals to make your bread
and keep your teeming millions fed
We've worked our magic without fuss
but now, it seems, you're killing us
Your all consuming need for more
has brought us to extinction's door
Your pesticides have done their worst
Our decline can't be reversed
Because of them we cannot breed
but you don't take the slightest heed
When we're gone most plants will die
and YOUR extinction will be nigh
Without us to pollinate
mankind will have sealed it's fate
It's too late now, the damage done
The end of 'Apis' has begun
All life on Earth brought to its knees
and all because you killed the bees

I am the nuclear ,the unwanted power,
i pay you according to you care:
for how long have I served you?
Provided you the energy to carry on;
sometimes you even packaged me
and exchanged me for currency;
how many of your wars have i fought?
And when in my might you triumphed
didn't you simply answer superpower?
I am the power behind your wheel,
i keep many of your industries going,
i make your night bright like sunflower
even in your health i play my role.
But in your luxury you forget,
you just forget our agreement
and begin to neglect my care
asking me to go to hell;
you begin to push me to my enemy
as you exposed my nudity to whirlwind
and asked water to deal with me as it liked
you are like a louse that lives on hound,
that thinks he is killing the hound,
where will it live after the death of the hound?
you neglect my care, you expose yourself!
But you are master of propaganda:
for failing to play your role,
what name have you not called me?
You said I am a murderer,came out with statistics
of how many i had killed, you marked me unwanted
and went on streets to shout me down;
you are quick to talk of Fukushima;
man, man ,man,your deceit is legendary,
fire is good servant...now i understand the say.
Yes i know you art,
you know how to call things names,
when you fail at you duty,
you simply say mechanical error;
and when you don't understand people,
you simply call them primitive;
when you don't understand the misery of God,
you simply conclude he does not exist.
No, i am not afraid of your deceit
i am comfortable with who i am
you are the one looking for me
if you still want me,you are welcome,
if you don't want me again
God knows i will not ask for you.

Blue edges an ebony sky
as cotton-candy clouds blush pink,
for a new day is on the brink.
Where eagles once learned how to fly
morning is filtered through a haze,
a legacy of yesterdays.
A molten sunrise blinds my eye,
dissolving the fringes of night
with a dazzling display of light.
Its grandeur worthy of a sigh,
dawn brings a renewal of hope
for it means the planet can cope.
A simple truth, without a lie,
if we choose not to make a fuss,
wildlife will vanish around us.
Nature's one thing money can't buy,
no amount can restore Her dead,
yet, most ignore what's being said.
Blue edges an ebony sky,
where eagles once learned how to fly.
A molten sunrise blinds my eye,
its grandeur worthy of a sigh.
A simple truth, without a lie,
Nature's one thing money can't buy.
(A Constanza poem.)

Quote.( Do not know who originated it, but used in the family at all times.)
"If your going to do something do it properly"
There was an old man called McGinn
Put all his refuse waste in one bin
It should have been sorted
His reasoning is thwarted
In clearing up his mess to begin.

Our packaging simply is wrong
To hold things in place safe and strong
The plastic hugs tight
The cardboard you fight
To get at the product takes long!
And when you are done you will see
The thing you had purchased may be
As small as your thumb
While you see great sum
Of valueless outer debris!
Though this is just one type of waste
We could conquer this one with haste
Sell all products bare
No double-wrapped care
See tons of sales garbage erased!

Today fades into yesterday,
upon tomorrow's arrival.
And apathy sparks denial,
when endangered animals die.
Wherever concrete cities rise,
collateral damage occurs.
For as jets traverse the skies,
wild birds are annihilated.
We dedicate our existence,
to a utopia of steel.
And survive in asphalt jungles,
shadowed by modern achievements.
Reality is a mirage,
projected upon collapsing hopes.
Yet, safe within our cubicles,
we love our plastic paradise.
Our planet's irrevocably
changing, into a barren sphere.
And greed's the legacy of fools,
touted by prophets of progress.
Lost Echoes
lost echoes wander silent valleys
reverberations orphaned tones
disconnected from their source
long ceased – solemn call to prayer
wasted on the ears of the callous
dried on the clapper's lips
no need to welcome revelers
invite the workers from their fields
the center of their lives resides elsewhere
frayed, dusty ropes hang muted
no hands to give them voice
soft winds and whispers fading
on the fallow fields of hope
dry, creaking, members
bowing under toneless weight
birds, undisturbed in their nesting,
coo in the conic complacency
of the hollow past
the world is deafened now
the last of the pealing bell tones -
lost echoes – wandering silent valleys

No warning.
The taste spread swiftly
around the room.
Eyes scour.
They pinpoint the doom.
A little old lady
Who's big on perfume.

Your blood it boils
with the curse of oil
The backs of black
Their curse to toil.
The legs you wear
Covered in blood forever
And covered in gold
that can never get old
as it stays forever in a trash heap
But as you sow so shall you reap
Look to the sky
See the black?
It is that which you are scared to lack
The snow pounding your face
You so obsessed with race
How is it? That wonderful taste.
The cold, hot, and extreme all due to you!
Your car is gone, buried in the snow.
The stock market, it has been laid low.
The beach town now under water town.
Lawns in phoenix disappeared with Thirst.
As the fake city goes back under Earth.
Look down, to the ground
See your desk? See the black?
It is that which you are scared to lack.
The Earth it eats your room
filled with toys of conquest.
How is it? To actually need?
Too bad, because this is all due to your greed!
Your world it boils
with the curse of oil
The backs of now
Their curse to pay
For what they took away.

I came to a place where are no cars
I see no dirt but the clear skies
It is night and I look at the sky
I am amazed, shocked and engrossed
By the view of uncountable amounts of stars
Flowers with sweet scent refreshes the sense
The stars look brighter, the air blows delight
The sound of the lake and the tweets of the birds
Lead me reach inside, and find my own lights
Here, the sky above shows life
Where I live is covered with knife
Poisoning is what we all do to the nature
Broadening the dirt and pollution is quite rife
I came to a place where are no scars.

Essence of salt and waves crashing
The World of the Sea has a heart
Careful not to offend thee ~
The spills of oil , nuclear waste
Drilling and mistakes,
Man infused sewage and waste
The capture of Fish while Dis guarding a life of a Dolphin
The Sea and its very Mystery is crying as all fish dying
Is there a place and time where we stop and love what was given
The Heart of the Sea not to ever be underestimated
For when sadden great wrath will fall in sequence with wind
Water and Wind can create its Heart broken fiercely without mercy
What have we done to create this disharmony
It is not hard to see as Tsunamis and Hurricanes such as Katrina unfold
It is the Heart of the Sea Broken , The heart of the Sea Spoken
We hear her Heart , we feel her wrath ,
The Heart Of The Sea ...this Heart cries
This Heart is angry , will we take responsibility ?

I gave whatever you wanted-
Thy but took me for granted-
Neither you paid attention to the appall
This is an important call
Your earth I am, you dear all-
Tsunami had been a story for you-
You forgot the huge ash spew-
You quickly forget the squalls-
This is an important call
Your earth I am, you dear all-
On the surface I gave you so much green-
On using oil instead you were too keen-
Empty soon is going to be bowl-
This is an important call
your earth I am, you dear all-
The entire hydrocarbon already you burnt -
Solution that I gave never you learned-
Energy in alcohol is not small-
Never will it let cars stall-
This is an important call
Your earth I am, you dear all-
What was for the future you drank –
Pain then you felt inside near flank-
Livers and kidney now take great fall-
This is an important call
Your earth I am, you dear all-
To preserve for the future still there is time-
But you have to consider condition mine-
On me you concentrate huge steel n concrete-
For my balance it won't be fine-
I shall spin then like a bent bicycle wheel-
Towards nadir will I go, or in the Zenith-
I might fall into the dark infinite beneath-
Where then be you and who to listen the bawl- (cry loudly)
This is an important call
Your earth I am, you dear all-
If I do not fall but loose declination degrees-
Either then you will heat or get highest freeze-
Wooden poles might become trees all
This is an important call
Your earth I am, you dear all-

Think of living on this earth
before the industrial revolution
having no cars or planes to pollute
air was clean no need of solution
There was no electric gadgets
nothing technical controlling the mind
life seemed so free and contended
no pressures to stress you blind
But alas these days is a dream
can't be brought back again
wish they could be though
that would get ten out of ten
So this folly is man's own doing
only got himself to ultimately blame
all in the name of progress they say
what for? end up in a flame!
(just some thoughts remanissing over years gone by when air was clean and free!)

Ugly Kiss of Pollution
If we ignore nature what will be her course?
She and we will end up in a state of remorse
Being so sad for what we had done to her
And to you my friend did this ever occur?
Ecology is in complete chaos and much more
After that lovely land which we did adore
No longer will ever look the same again
Thanks to abuse done by women and men.
Poor animal's homes have been disturbed
And if all our ignorant efforts were curbed
World would never be in a mess like this
World was killed by pollution's ugly kiss.

Though still within our infancy,
we strive and thrive, but woefully
we flash and flaunt our 'primacy',
display our trophies pridefully.
Our terra firma ecstasy
destroys the planet's harmony,
lays waste to life within the sea,
and all in name of vanity.
Who dares our spheroid's symmetry
by doubting Nature's regnancy
defying laws, like gravity,
affirms a fatal fallacy…
for, centered on the 'world of we',
we feed our vain insanity
on thoughts beyond eternity -
seems strange when looked at cosmically.
Perchance there is no remedy
for those in shadow's prophecy -
unless we handle skillfully,
as clay we'll pay the penalty.
The Moguls rule with cruel decree,
control the crowds like puppetry,
pursuing greed addictively
with no accountability.
The winds, they reek of Royalty
(that's bathed in suds of treachery)
and blow across the peasantry
left gasping in their pungency.
The Queen, so steeped in snobbery,
sits, preening proud Her pedigree,
on throne of ash and ebony
while sipping Sekt immodestly;
to sate Her Regal Majesty,
a caviar clad canapé
is served with golden cutlery
by maidens bent submissively.
The King is bailed from bankruptcy
by Knaves who hoodwink artfully
the down-and-outer evictee
who wallows in their lenity.
Forsooth, the Money Monarchy
ordains the dollar dynasty
portending highway robbery
by Peacocks plumed in finery,
for Jesters and the Fools agree
to dabble in duplicity
while stripping masses witlessly.
Long live the peon's penury!
To justify the oddity
that one plus one is sometimes three,
one reaches to theodicy,
takes paths of circularity.
In bygone trials of travesty
the doubters, draped in blasphemy,
endured the pain and agony
inflicted by the papacy.
Inspired by the Trinity
fanatics bent cosmology
in geocentric fantasy
while Bruno burned for heresy;
and aged women, fruitlessly
(while racked and wrenched), begged clemency
from justice framed in infamy,
but set ablaze for witchery.
That epoch of credulity
(when savants fostered sorcery
and practiced ancient alchemy)
arose in dark age quackery
as clerics dripping piety
(while raging, raving rabidly)
pervaded thralled society
with callous inhumanity;
'repent', they bellowed, 'verily,
forsake the world's iniquity,
live lives of want and chastity,
and give your gelt to God through me'
The Masters make a mockery
of freedom and democracy
by holding down the uppity,
released from shackled slavery,
now fettered in a factory
else strewn across the Bowery,
still chained in bonds of bigotry,
immersed in seas of poverty.
And colliers, tapping balefully
in sunken-mine solemnity,
yet thrum a mournful monody
some call the digger's elegy.
To children, pale and raggedy
(behind a day of drudgery),
the boss man, oh so gallantly,
presents a penny, niggardly;
though some are fed (belatedly),
their eyes recede in apathy
while bellies swell, inflatedly,
with mothers watching, wretchedly.
When met with health adversity
or broken bone infirmity,
the pauper dangles helplessly
with no insurance policy;
and those engulfed in lunacy
are ailing blobs left floating free
through psycho-dream obscurity -
a dire death row odyssey.
Forgetting mankind's unity,
our rich and poor dichotomy
breeds empty doomed finality,
eventual nihility.
Just as in days of chivalry,
wild warriors fighting forcefully
bring freedom neath the gallows tree
while blending blood and burgundy
to toast the slaughtered enemy,
or else convince the colony
to cede with smile on bended knee
and yield her diamonds, silk and tea.
At first they call the cavalry
and then again the infantry,
so proudly primped in panoply,
and armed from finest armory
(embraced in hands so tenderly),
inflict benign atrocity -
but soon atomic weaponry
will cancel our posterity.
Misusing high technology
(to feed the face of gluttony)
depletes our Rock of energy,
now slowly dying thermally.
Our gadgets breathing CFC
fuel ozone holes' immensity
while cloud bursts, raining acidly,
wilt woods in their entirety,
and rivers, tainted chemically,
polluted biologically,
refill our cups methodically
and drown our souls organically.
Adjusting genes mechanically
may well blot out the bumble bee
annulling fruits' fecundity,
but brings big bucks reliably.
We wager perpetuity
to revel momentarily
in shadow-like obscurity
ignoring the futility,
but if we bet unknowingly
on fickle fate's contingency
and thereby act haphazardly
we're doomed to lose the lottery.
The mildly mad bureaucracy
so often lacks coherency
when raping rules abundantly
but offers no apology.
They paint the past in reverie
when, slyly comes the tendency
to take away our privacy
which paves the way to tyranny.
With earlobes lurking furtively
that listen surreptitiously,
and eyeballs peering doggedly,
we've lost our mental sovereignty,
and those who dare to disagree
must hide away in secrecy
else perch in penitentiary
with water board anxiety.
Yes, sans responsibility,
our marble in this galaxy
will crumble in catastrophe
ere ever reaching puberty…

Hearing the sweet melody
My emotions take me away
As I listen to the sea
And the Ocean underway
Feeling the rippling pool tide
I voice my harmony
I hear the waves that glide
They sing their song to me
Tasting the salty air
There was a whipping breeze
Snapping without a care
And whistling with great ease
Smelling the sandy wetness
Where water meets the Earth
A seemingly relentless
Undercurrent birth
I hear, I feel, I taste, I smell
This great big Ocean true
It is an endless water well
Where only fish should rule
But, once again, the human rules of life
Destroy what it does not see
I can feel this Ocean's strife
Can you not hear its plea?
This Ocean needs humanity
But what do we do in return?
We kill it with our insanity
And never want to learn
Consume not what you cannot give
Back to this water deep
I know this Ocean wants to live
Breathing beauty for all to keep
Just one Ocean blue, once pure
This water will become a mirage
We leave Mother Nature with no cure
We pollute her with our garbage
Everyone should seek the path
Of preserving this Ocean we need
She knows a fury full of wrath
Beware Mother Nature and take heed!

Oh man what are you doing?
To our lovely Mother Earth
Polluting her streams and rivers
Giving green technology a wide berth
Spraying our crops with cancer causing
Chemicals to make them grow
Then we turn around and say
We must find a cure don't you know
Then we must eat organic
I tell you there's no such thing
Because our rain is full of toxins
That to the Earth doth bring
Our lush green grass is watered
By this chemical cocktail
Our animals they then eat it
And are contaminated head to tail
It's too late now for organic
The damage it is done
The Ozone is depleted
Leaving us vulnerable to the Sun
But we must try to stall it
This path to certain death
And take care of our Planet
Our lovely Mother Earth

In the rising sun,
Coming down by the mountains,
Echoes the sirens of seas.
Teaming with all life
Were clouds of foul defilement
Shifting torrents to crimson...
Metal vessel floats,
Tainting with slow corruption;
Flora, fauna, disruption...
Hopeful sakura
With leaves falling, vanishing;
Whales sprawling from erosions.
Trying to forestall,
From corrosions nature squalls.
Dying, perishing pleura...

Taming the BeastMature
I have got a serious obsession with the Morganville series by Rachel Caine. I finished book 13 and decided there and then I had to write a fanfiction about Jason. Cause I didn't want him to remain evil in my head xD
Chapter One
Analise walked fast, swearing under her breath as she shivered against the cold. She pulled her parenthetically thin jean jacket tighter round her form. Giving paranoid glances to the empty and very much dark streets around her. Her workmates were supposed to give her a lift home after the party but they'd opted to get too drunk. And Ana didn't technically have a drivers licence yet. She could only hope the vampires of Morganville would go for the easier, drunker pickings than the lone girl. She saw the sign for her street and felt her shoulders untense slightly. Not long now, she just had to tell her legs not to run the last mile like they were itching to do. Because if being alone and afraid in the dark didn't draw vampric attention, running like pray would.
She approached the glow of a lamp and let out a breath, she was close to her front door now. Very few of the street lamps in Morganville worked. Something everyone knew the vamps did. But since they were so far spaced, they made good markers for one's progress through the dry and cracked streets of Morganville. The relief was short-lived though as she heard something move outside the safety of the light. Her eyes darted towards the darkness that engulfed the brittle tufts of grass that grew between houses and in the small gardens. She didn't live in a terribly run down part of Morganville. Not that that sort of thing mattered to a hunting vampire.
When she didn't hear anything she gulped and took a step forward. She needed to stop letting her paranoia go out of control. Panicking over what must've been some small critter. She watched her feet as she walked, playing an old child's game of walking within the side walks cracks. Then she stopped, because she'd stepped into someone's shadow. She felt her pulse jump the moment she realised who it was. Any vampire was better than him.
"Jason..." she trailed off uncertainly. Because she couldn't really make out his expression in the dark. She resisted the urge to take a step back, horribly aware that a few more steps in front and to her right would take her to her home. To safety where a barrier would stop him from getting her. She had no doubts it was his intention. Jason Rosser didn't turn up for a hello, he was one of the more twisted ones. Involved in suspicious murders before, when he was still human.
"It's not safe out here in the dark," he finally said, his voice deep with a husky edge. If she didn't know it was hunger, she'd think he was hitting on her. She could see the glint of a fang as he gave her a one-sided grin. It sent chills down her spine and made the hairs on the back of her neck stand up.
"The founder made it against the law," Ana finally stumbled out. She didn't doubt Jason would be dealt with if he did kill her. She did doubt whether it was enough of a deterrent for him at this moment in time. The dark chuckle was enough of an answer. She already a hand in her back pocket and closed her hand round the handle of the thing silver knife. It went against all her instincts to step closer. She drew her hand across his chest and heard him hiss as the silver left burn marks that spread a little. She plunged the knife deep into his shoulder and ran. She knew the knife wouldn't hold him for long. She fumbled lamely with her keys, cursing as she did. She didn't have enough time. Someone grabbed her key chain from her hand an threw it somewhere into the darkness.
She turned and saw Jason again. Under the porch light she could see his dark hair, framing his thin face and cruel smile. His eyes cold, already a bloody red hue.
"I know how to cover murders," Jason said, stabbing the silver knife into the wood of her door, close enough that he caught her cheek as he did. She saw his nostrils flare as blood escaped the wound. Ana made her body stop shaking and met his eyes. He was too young in vampire terms to be able to pull any mind tricks, she hoped.
"Human murders maybe. But you think people won't notice the drained of blood part?" Ana asked, surprising herself with the power in her voice as she spoke. His eyes narrowed, but that smile, that cruel, horrible smile didn't falter. She really wanted to slap it from his face. But if she wasn't already at deaths door, she had a feeling that might do the trick.
"I don't really care, I'm just hungry. And you're the idiot being outside at night," Jason replied. His face getting closer to hers, despite her best efforts to disappear through her front door.
"Go to the hospital if you want blood," Ana retorted, hunching her shoulders in an attempt to make access to her neck harder. He snorted at the action and shook his head.
"That stuff never tastes as good. Never as fresh," he muttered. She had to stop herself from throwing up. She could feel her phone in her front pocket but didn't know who to call. Who was there who could help her? Her vampire protector? No, that was pretty pointless. Her protector had never done anything for her. All she had done was send Ana blood donation reminders.
"You used to be the one stuck at the bottom. You'd think you'd use your higher status to help us. Not become exactly like them," Ana said, knowing it was a pointless case. Jason had stopped caring about the human half of Morganville a long time ago. Jason's smile changed, becoming thinner.
"It was humans who kicked me so far down. Why should I do anything for them?" Jason said with a laugh. It sounded forced and harsh, ringing in her ears.
"Not all humans-"
"No, the rest were just bystanders, seeing no evil, hearing no evil. That shit," Jason interrupted, his right hand descending next to her face on the door suddenly and curling into a fist. Ana gulped, though her throat was too dry and chalky. She bowed her head a little and then lifted it to face him. She should've been dead by now, so she had to be doing something right. She licked her lips, considering if she wanted to make this personal.
"I didn't care when the bullies picked on you. I would still sit next to you in school. Not caring if they turned their attentions on me too," Ana said. The memories felt so old that she had to rack her brains for them. Back when Jason was just a silent guy. He came in with bruises and she didn't doubt they're cause. But she never had the guts to outright ask. Jason rolled his eyes.
"That's the worst defence I've heard," he muttered. This time Ana crossed her arms and glared at him.
"It's still the truth. I wasn't a bystander. I just didn't know how to go about asking you anything. Or maybe you didn't notice how completely cut-off from the real world you were?!" She tensed the instant the last words left her mouth. She'd just raised her voice at the most unstable vampire in Morganville. But rather than snarling, he blinked at her a few times. He eyes fading from red to a sombre blue. Ana released a breath she'd been holding and looked around uncertainly. She couldn't figure out what was going through his head.
"You're too annoying," Jason finally said with an exhausted sigh. Then in an eye blink he was gone from her immediate vision. She took a step and hesitated. Was this a trick? Some kind of sick game he was playing? Waiting until she was out in the dark and looking for her keys? She couldn't put it past him to do something like that. She stepped down her steps and examined the empty streets. Then something dropped directly in front of her with a metallic clang. She glanced up but the shadow moved too fast for her to identify. Jason Rosser had just let her go. And to top it off he'd found her keys?
Did something she say get to him? Or was he just having an odd day. Or she a lucky one? She shook her head, choosing not to question it. She locked her door the moment she was in and collapsed on her sofa, staring at the faded wallpaper as her thoughts continued to roll in turmoil. It'd been a long time since she'd thought about school. Back then she'd thought Jason was cute in an offhand way. She sat near him and watched him from a distance in the playground in hopes he'd notice her. But he was always too wrapped up in his own world. She sat up and sighed loudly. There was no point in thinking about the past. Even if part of her wondered what would've happened to him if she had pressed him for the truth. If she had built up the courage to speak to him first, rather than waiting indefinitely for him to say more than a passing "hi".

"I got cast in a play at school. I went to the auditions because you got to miss going to class.. or maybe it was rugby – something I wasn't very good at. So I didn't take it seriously...
We first met for Harley Sylvester of Rizzle Kicks for his BLAG feature, Sally talked to him about acting and he told us it was his first love. He's done some great stuff since including a lead role in The Guvnors. For our short film, Dream Big we of course invited Harley to be involved. Here we discuss the idea, shoot day and final piece.
When did you first decide you wanted to become an actor?
"I was about 14. I always knew I wanted to do something creative, however I wasn't quite sure what I was actually good at . Like many secondary school kids, a lot of my early teenage years were based...

The Takeaway
Takeouts: Discovering How King Tut Really Died, New Airport Screening Measures
- KING TUT: For years it was thought that King Tut had died from foul play, but new research reveals that he most likely was killed by a severe bout of malaria combined with a degenerative bone condition. He even used crutches! Egypt's top archaeologist and Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, Dr. Zahi Hawass solved the mystery behind King Tut's death and discovered clues in the young pharoah's DNA that give us new insight into his ancestry.
- AIRPORT SECURITY: In a few weeks, airport screeners will begin walking through terminals taking chemical swabs from randomly selected passengers and their luggage to check for explosives like those used in the attempted Christmas Day bombing. Joining us is Col. Randall Larsen, the founding director of the Institute for Homeland Security at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

Book includes Chronological Table of Contents, Top 50 Museums of the World Dante Gabriel Rossetti (12 May 1828 - 9 April 1882) was an English poet, illustrator, painter and translator. The son of émigré Italian scholar Gabriel Pasquale Giuseppe Rossetti and his wife Frances Polidori, D.G. Rossetti was born in London, England and originally named Gabriel Charles Dante Rossetti. His family and friends called him "Gabriel", but in publications he put the name Dante first (in honor of Dante Alighieri). He was the brother of poet Christina Rossetti, the critic William Michael Rossetti, and author Maria Francesca Rossetti, and was a founder of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood with John Everett Millais and William Holman Hunt. Like all his siblings, he aspired to be a poet and attended King's College School. However, he also wished to be a painter, having shown a great interest in Medieval Italian art. He studied at Henry Sass's Drawing Academy from 1841 to 1845 when he enrolled at the Antique School of the Royal Academy, leaving in 1848. After leaving the Royal Academy, Rossetti studied under Ford Madox Brown, with whom he was to retain a close relationship throughout his life.

Let me be me
undescribable, I needed to vent so these are my feelings...
Why do they think they can control my life?!
I'm 14 for goodness sake!
They tell me what to do, how to dress.....
It's not me!
Why the hell do you think I'm in need of more friends?!
I'm perfectly fine with my close friends! I dont need a group of strangers crowding round me and giggling! I'd rather be alone!
Just because I stay at home after school doesn't make me a "lost cause"
Why dont you use your eyes and see that I dont need it, all I want to do is be set free!
Stop repressing my emotions!
Stop telling me how to be me!
I already know who I am!
I am Eleanor Francess Gisle Tobin
I am 14 years old and I am one of a kind
I am me!

After being updated to v2.9a since October 2008, Sword of the New World has finally updated to v2.9b today. See SNW v2.9b Patch Notes. The content is essentially what I mentioned previously here. There are additional issues with this Charge of the Pedobears patch...
- The Auch Civil Servant can sometimes crash the game client while trying to receive Silver Medals.
- There are several spacing issues with text in the Quest Menu and Help Menu.
- Claire's final crafting quest doesn't always offer itself.
- Mamons in Porto Bello, the deserted Quay does not always give the mission for Calypso's Sagitta Manual.
- Elite Ghoul Defender in the Secret Tower can fail to spawn.
If you want to know what to expect in v3.0, see sGE v3.0 Patch Notes. (Yes. They are mostly the same, if not totally so. I'm too lazy to write about it when there's a comprehensive list of changes available.) As previously mentioned here, v3.0.13 is expected in 45 days, i.e. August 22.
Also, I updated the blog template during maintenance. I guess I just got tired of the old one.
Update: Crusader Coat
Romina's new costume, Crusader Coat, is now available. The permanent (no stat) version is available in feso shop (700k feso) and cash shop (575 gold). The temporary (DEF +10, Max HP +500) version is available only in cash shop (350 gold).

Edinburgh Festival Day 1: Reviews: Gee] Wow] The life and times of Clive Neon: Warhol superstar
Click to follow
The Independent Culture
The Independent Culture
Stephen Dinsdale, the author of last year's surprise Edinburgh and London success Anorak of Fire, has reassembled his creative team for a sequel. The result is a cherry-sweet fantasy about a radish-packer, shot to fame and fortune after meeting Andy Warhol. An authentic pop art atmosphere is created by the Lou Reed soundtrack, transvestite monologues and a startling Warhol lookalike wig. A soft heart, however, is supplied by James Holmes's pucker-lipped Brummie, a grub who hatches into Warhol's favourite butterfly. Holmes still has enough energy left for a gutsy I-wannabe-me epilogue that gets him out of the pop art pickle in time for the curtain call.

About the Owner
About Phil Bligh
We are a family of 5 living & working in the North West of England. Like many have always dreamed of owning a property abroad, part investment, part retirement plan but mainly because we love it here.
Phil Bligh purchased this villa in 2013
Why Phil Bligh chose Vila Do Bispo region
As other owner's you may see, we too fell under the spell of this area and its authentic charm. We were looking to buy a property where we can eventually spend more and more time and for us this area and the Yellow Villa in particular has it all. Close enough to the village to easily enjoy it's amenities yet far enough to be quiet and private. Salema, with its lovely restaurants and beach is gorgeous without being over developed and is minutes away plus with all the other different beaches close by there is something for everyone here.

Just returned from a ten day holiday in this VIlla,we intended going as a couple but were joined by our daughter,husband and 5 mth old Grandaughter.It was every thing we wanted quiet location with fantastic views over FIguiera ideal for couples or family seeking a quiet relaxing holiday.Very well equipped and Comfortable a microwave would be a useful addition a car is a necessity but it is only a short ride to Salema with its restraunts and beach.Try the bar in the village O Saphino..... Great to relax in and good food (large wine 1 euro !). Many thanks to Phil for the very efficient booking process and quickly dealing with any query/questions,we will be back.
The Villa You Want
We are a Dutch couple in our mid fifties with grown up kids whom we like to invite to stay a while with us on our holidays. We know the Vila do Bispo area pretty well and have been coming here for many years. We like the climate which is not too hot. And of course the fabulous beaches, Praia do Castelejo being our favorite.
Returned to this villa, because last year was a huge succes. Being here is indeed being away from it all. Splendid view from the veranda, and a rugged nature all around you.
The Yellow Villa is as you see it on the pictures, with lots of space, a high ceiling, nice clean bedrooms and bathrooms, a great kitchen and a broad veranda. In the morning the sea is greeting you, in the evening you look on the lights of Figueira.
The well kept pool is so large you can actually swim in it. We used the bar at lunch time and the wifi takes your spotify (in our case with bluetooth speakers) just anywhere you want.
Phil is a generous host and you can count on a swift communication. He made considerable improvements this year, an improved bathroom, a second bathroom and a pool shower. We will definitely come back!

A wonderful spot
Our stay in the Yellow Villa has been a joy. The house is spacious, functional, clean, well equipped and with a warm atmosphere. The pool is great for swimming and we spend hours playing ball while listening to the music. Love to walk down the steps from the house to the pool while your eyes taking in the views (...one can even see the sea). One of the greatest draws is the privacy of the setting without feeling "at the end of the world" (...even so the price to pay is a bit of a challenging drive to the house up a washed out dirt track). The small town of Figuera sits right opposite and has retained its original Portuguese charm. Salema provides more options especially for evening dinners. The local beach in Figuera is beautiful and semi-nudist. Who does not fancy this will find plenty of charming beaches within 10 -20 minutes drive. Gentle on the south coast, rough and wild on the west coast. Supermarket just 5 minutes down the road to stock up for the bbc. Thanks again Phil for the quick and uncomplicated manner you managed to "squeeze" us into you holiday booking calendar on extreme short notice. Thanks also to Ramona from the local management company who organized all smooth, flexible and reliable. A great stay. We will be back. Torsten
Lovely spacious villa, very clean & well equipped
Lovely spacious villa, very clean, well equipped & maintained. Beautiful pool and the views from the terrace are lovely. 10 minute walk into Figueira, where the owner recommended an excellent restaurant and a 10 minute drive to Salema, with a stunning beach and a good choice of restaurants.
Great customer service from the owner & local management.
A real gem!
Had a lovely week at the Yellow Villa. It's a very spacious house with lots of room inside & out for everyone to spread out. The facilities are excellent and the pool is gorgeous - and a really good size so you can have a proper swim! The views from the terrace are lovely and it's in a great location - a 10 minute walk to Figueira which has an excellent restaurant, and a short drive to stunning beaches and the seaside town of Salema which has many very good places to eat. The town of Lagos is close by and getting to & from the airport is very straightforward. I was really surprised at how unspoilt the local beaches are and can't wait for my next trip!
Just got back from a fantastic 2 wks staying at the Yellow Villa was everything we could have hoped for and more great pool loved the music by the pool, the bar and BBQ were great for evenings in could not recommend this villa highly enough fantastic views can even see the sea very private and quiet hope to return next year
From the Owner
"As other owner's you may see, we too fell under the spell of this area and its authentic charm. We were looking to buy a property where we can eventually spend more and more time and for us this area and the Yellow Villa in particular has it all. Close enough to the village to easily enjoy it's amenities yet far enough to be quiet and private. Salema, with its lovely restaurants and beach is gorgeous without being over developed and is minutes away plus with all the other different beaches close by there is something for everyone here."
