The Illusions of Perfection - To Pass Judgement
Two sides of a coin. The common phrase to compact all details in opposites, all details for each side. Two sides to everything. Good and evil are indeed illusions. Good or evil may be the cure to the disease. And the disease is the corruption, the true evil, what makes us grimace and appear disgusted. No one, but the madman, desires evil, the evil the common mind views as evil. But what is evil to the madman if not good to the madman? Everything is an illusion, but universal truth.
There are two souls in contrast; on a bench they sit,
Of wood that rots. A smile is lit
On countenance of a maiden so fair.
But of the other, whose features are so raw,
Distorted, disheveled, his presence a flaw,
Though not to the maiden, whose scorn shan't flare.
He stares straight ahead, then he looks down,
And feels burdened with shame from the eyes of the town.
His head turns right and lo!
Such pain of perfection – her hair a sheen,
Her eyes crystal-blue, she deserves keen,
Delight in her features which elegantly flow.
Her attire is green and beauty is her;
Reincarnated in a woman who sits next to a cur.
His eyes are caught in her dazzling hair,
Golden and lustrous like newly-spun thread.
This gaze shan't turn away, but oh! Such dread
When viewing the contrast to the maiden so fair.
She peers to her right and beholds his stare.
An utterance of words from her heart she shares:
"Do not be sad, my sweet,
God adores you; of this, I believe;
His eternal love shall not give you leave;
And when before him, you shall kiss his feet."
He entreated her of this alien tongue
And its origin; the words how they stung!
"Beautiful woman, I am emptiness; can you not see?
Your beauty, how vivid, and untainted by grime,
But here is I, whose looks are a crime.
How may God love me, when thine own mere complexion is a contrast to me?
She speaks naught but smiles and kisses his hand,
And takes his own, and at once, they stand.
She gathers a crowd, standing in place,
Her beauty a meadow whilst his is a warren,
His countenance battered, sullied, and sullen,
Such a contrast from her porcelain face.
Part II
One bathed in blood whose screams are a din;
Lived as a savior, and died for our sins.
Hung upon the wood, he gazes around,
Crimson aplenty and joy too scarce.
A prophet martyred; away with iniquity – the curse.
Mary's cries, how they echo; such a mournful sound.
A single Roman wielding a spear,
Drains holy blood from a heart; it sears
The Roman's skin. He convulses and twists, and eyes
Look above and witness the heaven of light.
A single ray from the clouds; oh, what a sight!
And he collapses to his knees, and peacefully dies.
A storm unfurls from the sky;
Droplets fall upon lips so dry,
A banner torn – the wrath of God rains down.
Away with evil; away with iniquity,
Of corrupted tax collectors, caring naught for poverty.
And of women abandoned with torn, bloody gowns.
Allow! Despair to vanish, and add the great
Moments of peace to a withered state,
For a begging wretch whose arms reach
Out for our love, not a dirty coin,
Originating from a purse beside the groin,
Hitherto he was but a leech…
Who mooched for aught, but now,
The lord calls: Peace! Allow! Allow!
Abruptly passes the wretch,
Ere mentioned – a fair maid's companion
His countenance a miserable trepidation.
Today he wallows, his arms outstretched.
For a mere coin, not any love,
Disregarding what's above,
Or what's around – an angel's voice should tell
Him to take a seat
On a chair, and extend his feet,
To wash the filth, then witness the shell
Of a mien, broken and sad.
Then eye his torso, only clad
In tattered garments, ragged and dirty.
But kiss your hand, and hold his own.
And point towards a God on a throne,
Who offers peace for eternity.
On Saturday, this man retires to an abandoned shanty,
Recounting his coins – so very scanty.
Insufficient for a meal; he breathes a sigh,
Throws himself on a worn mattress,
And dreams deep of a world that's godless,
And one with pale skin, and blue eyes that cry.
The beautiful maiden sits at a table,
Smiling radiantly and reading a fable.
Her home a brilliant color, -
Some parts golden, some parts green,
The sun reflecting a brilliant sheen,
This pour of beauty like that of a shower.
She's adorned in an ornate gown -
Acquired from a particular shop in town.
A white velvet – a canvas for her locks,
Bright and golden, moving as though
It be an animated painting, moving to and fro,
Caressing the white-velvet frock.
Then comes the night, she lays her head
Upon a pillow, and her body upon a bed.
She falls fast asleep,
But what's this? a tear…
Her countenance – the image of fear,
A look of terror and her beauty reaped.
Part III
Christ had been laid down inside a tomb;
The city mourned in utter gloom.
Doves and ravens fell together,
The mire soaked in blood,
Yes! Christ's blood saturated in the mud,
And nothingness would hence reign forever.
The heavens weep for their holy one
Blackened clouds shroud the sun,
And to the wooden cross comes forth,
A small child, beating a drum,
His visage blank, his heart numb,
A crow cawing on a branch to the north.
Let us return to two beings who've slept,
Awakening in a world bereft
Of life and death; and emptiness permeates,
In the air, and on the land,
Of vast darkness that spans,
Throughout this world, distorted and debased.
All around a vast wasteland,
Apocalyptic, burnt, as though the hand
Of God sought fit to spread darkness,
To a world of sin. Succumb to this sight!
There is however an even greater plight –
The cold sobs of a woman in sadness.
She was seated upon a rock; her eyes, -
Red-rimmed, and glossy; a man sighs,
In infinite pity. Oh, miserable woman, your weeping
Tarnishes your beauty, though others may
Feel great sympathy in your dismay,
And offer a hand to tend the wounds in your keeping.
The wretch approached and touched her arm,
Looking up, both smiled, and silenced the alarm.
Embracing him, she asked,
"My friend, excuse my distress; pray tell
Of where we are. It's so dark; I remember I fell,
Then I awakened, saw this, and gasped."
"I too, am in shock," he spoke with pity.
"I remember sleeping in an abandoned shanty.
I will say, that perhaps we,
Are fortunate to be alive (subject to change)
Though we indeed should strive (subject to change)
To not succumb to this strange catastrophe."
She stared in awe upon his grizzled face,
His eyes marked wisdom, misery erased.
Long before, she was piteous when she saw
A man with saddened stare,
Towards fellow beggars, without a care,
All fleeing from the law.
Hitherto piteous of his sorry state,
Now envious, his eyes a gate,
Into his soul, - a soul of strife.
She felt consoled when near,
Near to him, she felt no fear
In a world that resembled his life.
This woman is perfect, her skin aglow,
But of his, now which shows,
A unique resplendence – lustrous, and pure.
But how? Why, this place, perfect for him,
Imperfect for her. A world reflecting his soul, so grim.
The darkness, bleakness. To him, it allured.
Belonging he feels, though for her –
Wonderment he feels, his mind astir.
A hell engirdled the two,
He kisses her hand,
And together they stand.
Whither to, he wished he knew.
A man ponders where to go;
A woman observant of the snow
That fell like ashes, upon the blackened
And simmering soil, where it died.
And where they walked – an endless plain, of dried
Gravel for dirt, - a landscape, empty and flattened.
The sky a dark shade of gray;
Nothing resembling the light of day;
Silent and absent of gale.
No creature walked, grazed, or breathed
In a world where the very air seethed.
The odor sulfuric and stale.
The day of Easter, holiness abounds;
A man walks a dead world, and has found
Two people: man and woman, guided by fate.
The maiden and wretch, behold Christ's approach.
They question him not, and neither encroached.
Their fears turned petty and thus was abated.
'Son and Daughter,' the Holy man speaks.
'You stand in a world littered with judgement.
A landscape stained with persecution,'
He points – 'Woman, where you stand seems alien,'
He points – 'Man, you feel familiarity.'
He points to both – 'And both of you have discovered the underlying truth.
Your eyes have seeped into a world that tells of the judged and the judgmental.'
He raised his hands – 'And so I say before I leave:
'Judge not, that you be judged,
For the judgement you pronounce, you will be judged,
And with the measure you use it will be measure to you.'
The beautiful maiden and wretch looked to each other,
And with a glimmer in their eyes, they exited together.
Awakening in a world where naught has changed,
Except for the man and woman who lived almost free,
Free from discord, and confusion; but though they'd never see,
A God who still views sin upon a world so estranged.

There was never another school in the mix for Moore, who said that he's been talking with Terp coaches since 10th grade, deciding which position he'll play. They decided just this year that the 6-2, 235 Moore would play fullback.
However, don't let his size fool you. Moore can move.
I broke off this 56-yard run on Saturday, he said. I think people underestimate my speed because I'm so big. That's one of my best attributes.
Moore says the fastest he's been timed on the 40-yard dash is 4.59 seconds, so he can be a dangerous size/speed combination for the Terps down the road.
However, Moore knows that with the Terps stockpile of young, talented running backs, his job is mainly going to be paving the way for the likes of Da'Rel Scott, Davin Meggett, Caleb Porzel, Gary Douglas and D.J. Adams.
Mainly, I'm planning to come in and help out, Moore said. Throw my body, hit the hole, pick up some linebackers, get them some running room so they can score; just being a piece of the puzzle.
Since he's only been playing fullback for a year, Moore said he still needs to work on his blocking, but he said that the perfect place do that is with the coaches at Maryland.
I'm working on keeping my feet moving, driving my feet said Moore. I'm good at the point of attack, I just need to keep the push going.
Moore also said he's an avid churchgoer (he goes every Sunday) and plays the drums. The Terps hope most of the banging he'll be doing is in the trenches.

Thanks to ultra-precise analysis of each camera-lens combination, DxO Optics Pro automatically corrects the optical flaws in your images with an incomparable level of quality. White balance, vibrancy, tonal curve, multi-point balance, color saturation protection: take advantage of all these tools to bring out all the brillant colors of your photos, or to apply a color interpretation of your own.

White balance, vibrancy, tonal curve, multi-point balance, color saturation protection: take advantage of all these tools to bring out all the brillant colors of your photos, or to apply a color interpretation of your own.
Push the limits of your camera:
- Automatic correction of all optic imperfections
- RAW conversion optimized for very high ISO
- Exposure, lighting and color optimization
- Batch processing for unparalleled productivity
DxO Optics Pro adapts very specifically to your equipment and automatically makes corrections to your images, whether in JPEG or RAW, thanks to a preliminary calibration of equipment identical to yours in our laboratory. Each camera or camera-lens combination is the subject of a very precise analysis with our measurement tools.
The software automatically detects your equipment and shooting parameters for each photo. It then immediately and automatically applies exclusive sophisticated optical corrections (based on DxO Optics Modules), dramatic noise reduction (adapted to your camera sensor and shooting conditions), and other adjustments derived from our image quality expertise.
Restore proper perspective and straighten the horizon line, all while preserving the volume and form of your subjects. DxO Optics Pro integrates three simple, practical, and powerful tools to tilt, straighten, raise, and restore real perspective and a horizon line worthy of the name. The correction of volume anamorphosis is exclusive to DxO Labs.
Wide-angle lenses distort subjects located at image edges – for example, people at either end of a line of people in group shots have noticeably disproportionate silhouettes. Only DxO Optics Pro restores proper proportions and shapes while maintaining the realism of the scene.
Shooting in RAW format gives you absolute control over how your photos are rendered. DxO Optics Pro's RAW converter is based on detailed characterization of your camera by DxO Labs. Demosaicing that is perfectly adapted to your photos is the gauge of incomparable image quality. Aesthetics are always very subjective.

Based on our precise laboratory analyses of cameras similar to yours, DxO Optics Pro is tailor-made to allow you to radically and automatically eliminate digital noise from all your photos.
DxO Optics Pro restores the ideal balance between the dark and light areas in your images. Exposure and contrast are optimized both locally and globally with unique precision. Thanks to DxO's exclusive HDR mono-image feature, you can use a powerful exposure optimization tool to bring out numerous details in the dark and burnt areas of all your photos, based on just a single image.
The presets developed by our teams allow you to obtain images of the highest quality with a single click. DxO Optics Pro automatically determines the best settings for each image by analyzing its contents and shooting conditions. Among the many possible choices, choose the preset that best corresponds to your photo. Use, for example, the "High sensitivity – Noise Reduction" preset for a scene shot at high ISO, or the "Accentuate fine details" preset if you want to improve image sharpness.

About the owner: I love to travel and have been coming to the Palm Springs area for over 40 years. I like to Hike, bike, golf, and play tennis. I enjoy spending time with family and friends.
Why the Owner Chose Palm Desert, CA, USA:
Palm Desert is centrally located in the Coachella Valley with easy access to all the desert has to offer. Desert Falls Country Club is a beautifully designed low density resort with magnificent golf course and Tennis/Gym facility, and the views from this unit are so nice! Desert Falls is large enough to ride your bike around for good exercise, all the while enjoying the mountain views and fresh desert air. Venture out of the gates for easy access to the nearby grocery store and restaurant, Sherman's Deli is a 10 minute ride on a sunny Sunday morning!

This unit is located on a corner Lot, and has unobstructed views across Cook St. to the Desert Willows golf course and the mountains beyond. No buildings out the front of the condo gives you a nicer, private feel.

The Beat
It begins with a beat that the drums of our head mirror and reflect.
It continues with a rhyming rhythmic effect.
The hips sway to the soothing sounds of the musical waves.
Beating our ideals into submission we lose control.
The feet manovering in and out as if avoiding a trap.
Flicking feelings glance through the waves of bodies before refracting the chaos.
The beat becomes master.
We are slaves of the sound.
We sway.
We slither.
We advance.
We retreat.
We finally see through the waves of sound
The person that makes our hearts skip
A beat.

I hear voices screaming from down the hallway. I am twelve years old, and, just like a baby, I run to hide in my closet behind the hamper. I want to run away, but I have nowhere to go. I cannot leave.
"Get out!" she screams, "Just get out!" I hear glass shatter, and something thuds against the other side of my wall.
"Fine! I leave then! You no listen to me, no respect me, I leave!" The sound of his broken English drifts down the hall. The door slams, and I shudder as I hear her sobbing in the living room. I don't know why she's crying. This has happened before. And he never stays away for long. An hour at the most, and he'll be back. Though I always wished it were different.
"Cally?" His voice breaks my reverie, and I try to smile at him. "Are you okay? You seemed kind of out of it for a minute there."
"I'm fine, Will," I say, though I can feel the lump in my throat that just won't go away no matter how many times I swallow. It seems determined to choke me.
"Are you sure? Is there anything you want to talk about it?"
"No," I reply, "There isn't."

Calculating the Costs Needed for Your First Home
If you're a first time homebuyer, you are probably eager to figure out exactly how much home you can afford. When you are pre-approved, you will receive a general idea of that monetary range from your lender, but it's always a good idea to do some calculations on your own to make sure you aren't exceeding your financial limits. Here's everything you need to take into consideration:
Home Affordability
In general, your new home shouldn't cost any more than three times more than your gross annual income. Even though this is the general rule of thumb, you need to make sure that you can actually afford a home by taking into account all of your current monthly expenses. When you subtract your current monthly expenses from your income, that amount needs to be more than what you would owe for a monthly mortgage payment.
Another factor that you need to take into mind is your Debt-to-Income Ratio (DTI), which is just your recurring monthly debt divided by your gross monthly income. It's best if you can keep your DTI Ratio under 33% for maximum affordability.
Assess Your Down Payment
Now, if you put down less than 20% on a home, you will have to pay Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) for the lifetime of the loan. This will amount to several thousand dollars over the lifetime of the loan. This is just one more factor you will have to consider when deciding how much you can afford!
Be Wary of Fees
Heads up: you will have to pay fees on your brand new home. These fees will range from closing costs to home estimate fees. When you're sitting down with your lender, ask him or her to provide a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) so you will have a rough idea of all the fees for which you will be responsible.

He also asked Pakistan to take resolute action against extremist groups operating in the country and leave no stone unturned in bringing to book perpetrators of the Mumbai attacks.
Referring to his recent statement in Parliament that the sub-continent will not realise its full development potential unless relations between India and Pakistan are normalised, he said, "Despite all problems, we have decided to resume the dialogue process".
"We will enter these talks with open mind. We wish to resolve all outstanding issues between two countries through friendly dialogues and purposeful negotiations. And this includes the issue of Jammu and Kashmir", he said in his address to the third Convocation of Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agriculture Science and Technology (SKUAST).
Voicing concern over the activities of extremist groups in Pakistan, he said, "We cannot forget what happened in Mumbai. I urge the Government of Pakistan to leave no stone unturned to bring the culprits (of Mumbai attacks) to book."
"But I believe that there is a growing conviction in Pakistan, among the thinking segments of the population that something serious needs to be done to curb the influence of these groups on Pakistani society and polity", he said.
"I urge Pakistan to take strong and resolute action against these groups that is in the interest of Pakistan, the region and the world at large", Singh said.

GAZA CITY, Palestinian Territories (AFP) – The European Union's new foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini on Saturday appealed for the establishment of a Palestinian state, saying the world "cannot afford" another war in Gaza.
"We need a Palestinian state – that is the ultimate goal and this is the position of all the European Union," Mogherini said during a trip to Gaza, devastated by its third conflict in six years.
Hamas and Israel fought a 50-day war in July and August which resulted in the deaths of 2,140 Palestinians and more than 70 Israelis.
Mogherini's visit comes against a backdrop of surging Israeli-Palestinian tensions in annexed east Jerusalem where there have been near-daily clashes in flashpoint neighbourhoods.
She voiced hope that Gaza would avoid another major conflict.
"It is not only the people of Gaza that can't afford having a fourth war, all the world cannot afford this," she said.
"We cannot just sit and wait. If we sit and wait it will go on for another 40 years. We have to have action now," said Mogherini, a former Italian foreign minister who recently took over from Catherine Ashton as the top EU diplomat.
Palestinians are seeking to achieve statehood in Gaza and the Israeli-occupied West Bank with east Jerusalem as the capital.

SPI Italy Study Abroad Students Take Part in Historic Event in Siena
High school students participating on SPI's Siena, Italy study abroad program get to experience a major event in Italian history and culture: Il Palio di Siena
Il Palio di Siena (or Il Palio, as it's been deemed by locals), is a bareback horse race that occurs twice a year in the heart of Siena. The first modern Palio is said to have originated in 1656, but different forms of the race have been taking place since as early as the 14th century. Today, the race is a 90-second horse race through Piazza del Campo, and is attended by thousands of Italians and tourists alike.
The Palio celebration involves months of intricate preparation, and the festivities usually take place over the course of four days – there are special masses to honor the jockeys, different cultural events and dinners, and a citywide costume parade.
SPI students actually get to take part in all Palio festivities – they do everything from dressing up for the costume parade, to screaming and shouting alongside Italians at the race itself.
SPI Study Abroad programs are focused on providing a true language and cultural immersion experience for their students. Since participation in Il Palio di Siena is an integral part of living in Siena, this event provides a unique experience for students to gain insight into Italian culture and way of life.
During their time in Siena, students attend language classes for college credit, participate in cultural excursions and activities, and live with local families, all in order to forge an authentic connection with Italian culture and language.

Groton — Chet Moore can't say exactly how many accidents the watchful eyes in the controller tower at Groton-New London Airport have prevented through the years.
But controllers' behind-the-scenes work may become more apparent, he warns, if the Federal Aviation Administration goes through with the planned closure of towers at many smaller airports across the country.
Moore, the air traffic manager in Groton, said his job and those of hundreds of other FAA-contracted air traffic controllers are at stake, and aviation safety could be compromised as a result.
"I don't know who came up with this. I don't know why they came up with this … but the bottom line is, it's going to make airports less safe," he said.
Groton-New London Airport is one of six in the state on the chopping block, part of the FAA's attempt to cut more than $600 million from its budget this year as a result of the automatic budget cuts — known as sequestration — that took effect March 1. Under the proposal, 173 towers across the country staffed by contracted employees would be closed for an estimated savings of $45 million to $50 million.
Moore is watching closely for Senate passage this week of an amendment co-sponsored by U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., to provide $50 million to keep contracted air traffic control towers open, including the six in Connecticut, by obtaining the funds from other FAA accounts.
The amendment would ensure the contracted-tower program is subject to the same 5 percent cut as other FAA programs, rather than the disproportionate 75 percent reduction the FAA has proposed, Blumenthal said.
"Passage of this amendment is vital to protecting air traffic control towers at six airports in Connecticut, including one airport that provides commercial service," Blumenthal said.
"I am actively speaking with Senate leadership to find a way forward," he said. "I'm very hopeful we have strong bipartisan support."
The closures are slated for April 7.
In Groton and throughout Connecticut, Moore said, the controllers work for Mid-West Air Traffic Control Inc., which would lose hundreds of controller jobs nationwide with the cuts. Other towers to be closed in Connecticut are at Sikorsky Memorial, Danbury Municipal, Hartford-Brainard, Tweed-New Haven and Waterbury-Oxford airports.
Blumenthal and the entire state delegation have cited a direct impact on the local economies and the safety of the airports. U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney, D-2nd District, has called the contracted system a "cost-effective and certified alternative to FAA-operated towers."
On Wednesday, Courtney wrote a letter to FAA Administrator Michael Huerta expressing his dismay at not only the planned tower closures, but the "disproportionate cut to a program that plays a critical role in the safety of our nation's airspace."
"If these towers are closed, the safety and efficiency of our airspace could be compromised as already short-staffed FAA facilities are left to fill the gap," Courtney said. "Cutting a program that plays such an essential role in air safety is counterproductive and potentially dangerous."
Moore said tower controllers not only track, sequence and clear aircraft for takeoff and landing but monitor weather and wind, while controlling activity on the ground.
"Without the tower here, the pilots are on their own to provide their own separation during takeoffs and landings," he said.
Moore said there is no replacement for eyes on the ground watching for anything from a flock of geese to fog rolling in off the water.
The slower after-hours activities when the tower is not manned are currently covered by T.F. Green Airport in Providence, Moore said. Green would be among other airports that could be inundated by an increased workload, especially during bad weather, he said.
Groton's airport is unique, Moore said, because of the variety of aircraft and programs it hosts, including the Connecticut National Guard helicopter repair facility, the 1109th Theater Aviation Sustainment Maintenance Group.
The airport also serves as one of the checkpoints for nearby flight schools and a hub for the U.S. Coast Guard Auxillary Group, which flies shoreline missions five days a week, Moore said. The airport hosts VIP arrivals for visits to U.S. Coast Guard Academy commencement ceremonies as well as visits to the Naval Submarine Base in Groton.
The controllers in Groton's tower have a combined 152 years of experience, Moore said — hard to replace when it comes to the quick response needed for emergency landings and pilot errors.
"Should this facility and others like it close, I truly believe the safety of aviation will change immediately and may not be as favorable as it is now," Moore said.
He's not alone in his efforts to call for a closer look at the issue.
Terry Keller Jr., a flight instructor at Hartford-Brainard Airport, created a petition hoping to gather 100,000 signatures by April 4 to present to the White House. The petition is online at www.PremierFlightCT.com.

In a perfect world, Louris and Olson would never make a record without each other.
Sadly, reality has dictated that this is the pair's first album together since the Jayhawks' 'Tomorrow the Green Grass' in 1995 and it's taken over a year for even this to find a release. Any initial disappointment (no kick-ass country-rock) is soon dispelled by the sheer magic that happens whenever Olson and Louris sing together. This is an album of sublime and subtle highs. It's great to have them back.

Ian Murray has targeted a return to the Rangers first team by Christmas after finally recovering from the virus which has kept him out of action all season.
The utility player, 25, was diagnosed with reactive arthritis after returning from the club's pre-season trip to South Africa. He has spent the last four months battling back to fitness and made his comeback in a reserves match yesterday afternoon.
He came through the full 90 minutes against Dunfermline's second string at East End Park, as Gers won 1-0. Murray started the game at left-back and was pencilled in for a 70-minute appearance, but an injury to Antoine Ponroy meant he played the second half at centre-back.
The Gers coach Ian Durrant believed Murray's comeback was the only highlight of a disappointing game. "The fact that Ian Murray played the whole 90 was the best thing to come out of the match," he said. "We had a young team out but so did Dunfermline. They were the better side and passed the ball better."
Murray is now hoping he can force his way into manager Paul Le Guen's plans over the next month or so.
"It obviously depends on how the rest of the boys get on in the next few games," he said. "But to be considered for selection before Christmas would be good for me. To get back before Christmas would be a bonus, but I'll be prepared."
Murray was diagnosed after complaining of tiredness and pain in his arms and legs over the summer. And it has been a frustrating time for a player who has not had the opportunity to impress Le Guen since his arrival at Ibrox.
He said: "Any time out injured is frustrating but this was even more frustrating because it wasn't a football-related injury. But you just have to get on with it. You can be low or you can be positive."
Murray said he never feared for his career despite warnings that his recovery could be lengthy.
"The doctor did say at the start that it would probably be months rather than weeks, so I was prepared."Reuse content

all I can say is don't take it seriously at all. My son is a rep goalie and the politics are sickening. It looks like he is going to be APed up a level so a whole new set of parents to take abuse from or listen to whine about the coaching. when your kid comes to you and says "I want to try out for select" or some rep hockey That is when you start thinking about lessons, power skating coaches, etc, etc.
at 4, 5 or even 9, 10 just have fun watching them make mistakes fall, and score.
I see to many parents that are forcing hockey on there kids and the kids want to play but the parents want them to WIN!
Relax there is time.
As a mater of fact there are AAA kids that start playing hockey at age 9 or 10 who catch up the the kids who started playing at age 4, or 5 by the time they are 13 or 14. real development doesn't starts taking off after age 10 from what I have seen in the last 3 years I have been involved with minor hockey.
Make it fun, make the kid a winner even when they louse a game. Take home nothing but positive and learn from mistakes.
As for what age do they start showing real talent for hockey. All ages.

After four years of renovations this huge museum has reopened with a further four exhibition halls. Attempting to make its vast collection of artifacts accessible and fun, the museum has added more dinosaur fossils for young visitors and a colorful exhibition on the Republic period after 1911. The Ming and Qing Imperial porcelain collection remains one of the world's largest, and keep an eye out for what might be the museum's singular treasure—a full-sized suit of ceremonial armor made from jade tiles threaded with silver, dating back to the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Argyle 1Noone 38
Leicester 1Árnason og 31
CRAIG Noone scored an excellent header to secure a point for Argyle in a game which the Pilgrims dominated.
Leicester arrived at Home Park expecting to build on their play-off pretensions but found the Greens in the sort of mood the Green Army has craved.
Kári Árnason's strange own goal on the half-hour was a blip that Noone rectified within seven minutes and the Pilgrims created the chances to win with plenty of spare in the second-half, but Leicester held on for a fortunate point.
Head coach Paul Mariner made just one change to the Argyle team that battled out a 1-1 draw with Swansea City on Tuesday night. Noone, absent against the Swans because of a family bereavement, returned to the Green wing.
Luke Summerfield was the man sacrificed for Noone and he bumped Bradley Wright-Phillips out of the squad altogether.
Leicester boss Nigel Pearson kept faith with the 11 men that secured a 1-1 draw at Bristol City in midweek in the first part of their Westcountry sojourn. It meant a start for summer signing Paul Gallagher, who played a starring role during a season-long loan at Home Park from Blackburn Rovers last year.
On the bench, Pearson evicted Ryan McGivern and Nicky Adams allowing Robbie Neilson and Alex Bruce to take their places among the substitutes.
The Foxes were first to show as an attacking force, with dangerous left-back Bruno Berner bursting forward to swing over a low cross that narrowly evaded Gallagher's diagonal run to the near-post from his starting-point on the right flank.
Argyle's early momentum had its starting berth in the right full-back position, where Karl Duguid prompted a number of forays forward with a combination of clipped passes into Rory Fallon's chest or channel balls for Jamie Mackie to chase.
The Greens had a very tentative penalty shout on 12 minutes rightly waved away by referee Roger East after Mackie tumbled under a soft challenge from Jack Hobbs following Réda Johnson's flicked header.
Gallagher's familiar class on the ball came to the surface with a delightful instant pass for Martyn Waghorn from a cleared Argyle corner. Waghorn took the ball beautifully in his stride but found his progress halted by a superbly-timed challenge from Duguid.
The Hollywood moment of the first-half arrived on 22 minutes. Réda Johnson controlled the ball in the centre-circle, burst forward, exchanged a quick one-two with Fallon and sent a scuttling shot into the arms of Chris Weale.
Although the eventual effort was tame, Johnson's fabulous intent in driving forward from centre-back was roundly appreciated by the Green Army.
After 26 minutes of calm, Mr East decided to stamp his officious mark by booking Árnason for cleaning the ball with a towel before launching his throw-ins. It seems Mr East was upset the use of a towel had not been agreed with him prior to kick-off, as per Football League rules, and Árnason was left as the unfortunate victim.
East then awarded Argyle a soft free-kick which Carl Fletcher thumped into the Leicester wall. The ball bounced to Noone, who delivered an instant low cross beyond the stranded Weale for Fallon at the back-post, but the Kiwi failed to steer his point-blank effort around the sprawling challenge of Berner.
Leicester countered immediately and Lloyd Dyer was left to attack the isolated Réda Johnson. After weaving one way and then another, the Foxes winger curled a low shot beyond David Stockdale but onto the far post.
The Greens barely had time to complete their sigh of relief when the visitors took a bizarre lead. A routine pump forward from Hobbs was under Árnason's control and he clipped the ball back for Stockdale.
Unfortunately, the Argyle 'keeper had already advanced out of his goal to collect a short back-pass that never came, and both men could only watch in horror as the ball sailed agonizingly into the vacated goal.
The whole passage of play was even more galling for Mariner, who clearly felt there was a foul on Noone before Hobbs had played the initial pass forward. To compound the misery even further, the Pilgrims were now behind in a game where they had looked the better side.
Justice soon arrived in the form of a Green equalizer and it was a sublime goal. A swift break forward started with Mackie laying the ball out to the right-wing for Chris Clark, who took a touch before drifting over a wonderful cross.
The Leicester defence understandably tracked the run into the box from Fallon but their focus on the Kiwi allowed Noone to surge through the middle unchecked, and guide a delicious header into the top corner.
Argyle survived a minor scare moments before half-time when Réda (Beckenbauer) Johnson tried to dribble out of defence but was slyly robbed by Gallagher who dragged his subsequent low shot narrowly wide.
Gallagher was also involved in the first incursion of the second period, skipping past Chris Barker to arrow a low cross to the near-post for Matt Oakley, but he was thwarted by a well-timed Árnason challenge.
Within a minute, a long throw found Gallagher in space in the box but Barker prevented his powerful volley from threatening Stockdale by launching himself bravely in front of the ball.
As Argyle settled into their rhythm once again, Leicester found themselves pegged back by a succession of set-pieces. Although nothing came from the sequence, it was pleasing to see the Greens patiently applying pressure on the visitors.
Leicester responded with a slick passing move involving Waghorn, Gallagher and Andy King. The final episode of a wonderfully orchestrated opportunity fell to Waghorn, who dragged a bobbled shot inches past Stockdale's far post.
Fallon's afternoon came to an end moments later, as he was replaced, not by the usual alternative of Kenny Cooper, but Joe Mason, who slotted into a central striking role alongside Mackie.
Mason took just two minutes to make an impression, darting inside his marker to glance a header narrowly past the post after another Réda Johnson flick from an Árnason throw.
If that was an escape for Leicester, Argyle soon had their own moment of luck, when a Gallagher corner evaded everyone, including the stranded Stockdale, to drift harmlessly wide.
The platform for Argyle's stirring performance came from the excellent midfield partnership of Fletcher and Damien Johnson, which allowed Noone, in particular, to attack the Foxes defence with the penetration that makes him such a crowd favourite.
A fine Pilgrim display almost fell to the softest of goals. Gallagher's innocuous cross found Berner completely unmarked in the six-yard box, but the Swiss defender somehow planted an easy header wide.
Cooper's delayed arrival came on 76 minutes, with Clark finally given an opportunity to rest his tiring legs and lungs. The American slotted in up front and Mason drifted wide into the position vacated by Clark.
Noone then had a chance to steal all the plaudits with a curling free-kick that Weale struggled to fend off. The rebound fell to Árnason in an impossibly tight position and Leicester escaped.
Argyle were now pounding the Foxes and Mason rifled a stunning half-volley from distance that Weale did brilliantly to tip onto the crossbar.
Stockdale and Árnason were back to their old tricks with five minutes to go. The goalkeeper found himself in an awkward position after sweeping up a long ball forward but Árnason was on hand to head clear Dyer's pump at the vacated goal in a very welcome reversal of first-half fortunes.
The final Green wave saw Cooper's header excellently blocked by Weale and then Flecther's return drive was miraculously cleared off the line by the head of Hobbs, and then air-kicked a decent chance in the penalty area.
It was a frustrating end to a fine afternoon of football from the Pilgrims. Mariner's men played with a confidence that ignored the differing league positions of the two teams and, on the balance of play, will go down as two points dropped.

You would have to be crazy to follow an old mans advice like that. Sad to say, later on you find out the old man was found dead not too far from your apartment a day later. It seems he had another letter addressed in your name delivered to his house again. The letter this time had your name in red ink and light blue writing on the back of the envelope reading "why didn't you come. We were expecting you?" Because you didn't do anything and considered the envelope the old man gave you as junk and not as a letter to take seriously someone has died. Now you are forced to live your life with the guilt that because you didn't open one letter you are forced into the reality that you have led a man to his death and his grandson without a grandfather.
The End
