must know
I cried yesterday
and I think I broke the world
so I braided some words into twine
planted some sweet and sour coated seeds
I grew free standing expressions and then I joined
them with left over thread to present these interlocking pieces
in their proper order regardless of the number they wear in an attempt
to confuse and deceive. I offer this humble list for your reading enjoyment
It is an honour to have you visit my page. The pleasure I assure you is all mine
I loved you centuries before we were born.
You lived in my dreams before I ever slept.
When others wasted time picking flowers
I waited for when it was time to pick you.
Love calls you in the natural scent of your partner.
You'd feel their touch in the vacuum of outer space.
Your desire for them would melt away the ice age.
I want to find a door in the brightest part of the sky I
could open to erase what was, to shine a light so bright
it, like a book of golden words, would write ideas so vital
as to eradicate even a suggestion of our mournful past.
I want to be that magician who does not bother with
illusion but rather heals wounds and shatters burden.
We were at the fair, joviality in the air.
A memory filed, I was a young child
holding balloons floating round like full moons
in vivid colours bright. Fixed on this joyous sight
I was on Cloud Nine proud these were mine.
If I had not let go of them. If I hadn't watched them
as they flew higher and higher as my heart sunk lower and lower
I might of never learnt what it felt like - hurt.
Hope gloats, hope floats.
either your way or just away.
sometimes the afternoon sun is.....too hot
to walk barefoot........on the concrete path
still even then.......I refuse to wear my hat
I guess I'll never change, I'm just like that.
sometimes when I jump in the lake in late summer...
with all of my clothes on...I do it in the evening......as
I go down...way down to the bottom...there's a gentle
peace overtakes me..I want to stay down like a rock...
revel in the ecstasy...not swim back up..........not ever
ours was a paper mâché love
living in a cut out cardboard home
with a macaroni art painted lawn
and nothing real to call our own
nothing solid that we could hold.
we tried stacking lego bricks
but you have to be able to pop your cheek
to qualify as a kid - to get a license to build.
the castle we assembled didn't pass the test.
so much for fairy tales - hello reality check.
we rolled the dice but our thimble went
straight to jail and our mouse ended up trapped.
can you hear that buzzing the operation failed. where
are you going? your tricycle is still in the shop and I might
as well tell you..............I have no eights................."go fish!"
we fell through
the bunny hole
where i - jack fell ddddownnn
nnnnnnn and broke my crown
and you - jill came tumbling
it is a choreographed ballet our love
stands strong
legs at the base digging deep
build roots
delicate hands branched out
reach high
long slim fingers define twigs
draw space
the body of our trunk thick
sweet filled
music fills our human needs
one sound
wind pixies dance meticulously
the air
sunlight leaks effectively through
dark spots
lifts carries holds and shapes
our smiles
it is a choreographed ballet our love
in sync
our bodies their senses once immersed in I
now us
I know the last thing I want to feel as I leave this world, it is your lips on
mine. When I take my last breath I want to feel yours with its loving touch.
no matter the roar or intensity of the storm
how severe the attack even out of the norm
i offer my hand with sincerity
aim to deal with it peacefully.
then suddenly it hits
like a swarm of locus.
a deep dark manifestation that greases my mind
my very existence in its unforgiving sense of doom.
every bone stiffens,
when I move, a sound
of dead dried out forest twigs
breaking against the boots of hikers
echoes in the confined space of my skull.
i reach for a pill
slowly it dissolves
under my tongue
i wait
i wait
i wait
my body is soaked in a sweat with its own cold and hot tap.
i assume the position, lying on an unstable floor. the creature
depression is now in full control of my faculties. this too i will survive
...that is what i do...what i do...this is what i do.......somehow i survive.
there is a deafening hush...
silently raging through the core
of my existence...still...I am humbled
by the light and the love I have witnessed
in my brief appearance...........here on Earth
there is a river...that walks at my side...
walks with me........at the same stride...

A reflection of the coloured pencil drawn sky
skates on the glass smooth surface below it.
While a rebellious group of shades take their positions
on a glorious stage to express themselves artistically and
i think of you
Wisps of clouds shaped like a palm leaf
fan the winds that stoke the fire
of a randomly sketched sunset.
i think of you
The cool of an ocean breeze
travels the shadows of this low lit evening.
Caresses my skin like the essence of romance.
Enthralled by the allure of a candle lit sky,
i think of you...
Our French Bakery early mornings.
Café au lait and croissants.
Our freesia soaked baths.
Your mink soft body.
Its milk and honey scent.
As I fall off
the edge of the world,
i think of you.

stars twinkled brilliantly
against majestic snow-capped mountains,
delicate pure white flakes danced;
swirling, twirling, rhythmically.
she stood, nose pressed tightly
against the window pane; gazing in awe
at the magic the snowflakes created;
as tears spill from her emerald green eyes.
the cabin is warm, radiating a comforting glow
a fresh pine scent lightly sweetens the air;
she fights the memories, as she begins to shake.
fingers entwined, she tries desperately to hang on
be present in the moment;
"stop, stop, stop" she says, stomping her feet;
she falls to her knees; quivering.
she holds tightly her arms and begins to rock,
feeling his presence in his favourite black sweater;
she cannot bring herself to take off.
giggling sounds permeate her thoughts
cocooned in his aura, his essence, his scent;
she feels his lips kiss the nape of her neck,
his strong hands caressing her hair.
she rocks and rocks, time ceases to stop,
as she falls deep into a rich
moulton pool; his smouldering brown eyes.
her lips part; barely into a smile at
his joy when he surprised her with the cabin;
their oasis away from home.
she wipes away a tear, beams from within
as she recalls the snowball fight, he lost, she won.
he scooped her up, carried her with glee,
over the thresh hold of their cabin;
their oasis; their heart's retreat.
a decadent white rug bought just for her
lay invitingly in front of the fire,
fiery orange embers crackled and glowed.
he gently laid her down; "my beauty" he said.
they drank champagne, drunk in each other,
wrapped up in his care, she felt peace.
as they lay basking in winter's afterglow,
he whispered "this is my time, i must go".
startled, she sat up, staring deep in his soul,
as snowflakes twirled and danced,
fresh pine lightly sweetened the air;
he breathed one final breath; then he let go.
her screams were not audible, her body convulsed
as she lay on his chest; her heart; her home.
she cursed the night and winter's afterglow
sobbing "not him, not him, please take me too".
she fights to bring herself back
to the here and the now,
as embers slowly dim, she wobbily stands
clutching tenderly his urn, she must set him free.
the stars twinkled brilliantly
against majestic snow-capped mountains
she opens the window, where dreams breathed of life;
with tears cascading
she releases her love; her life;
to become one
with the magic of;
winter's afterglow.

Shine, midnight pearls!
The smoke curls up in whirls of doom.
On the wet sand
my own hand draws unplanned pierced hearts.
Deep blue-black sky
I play by rules and sigh despair
to lay aside
starry-eyed dreams that hide a sin.
Shine, distant stars!
through guitars notes, through scars of time.
For her first kiss
an abyss drains all bliss from me
and far away
shadows play down their spray of doubts.
Opaque pearls, shine!
On this fine night, define my north.

Love will come to you
Are you feeling lost and all alone?
searching for love, searching for love
Is your heart still looking for it's home?
searching for love, searching for love
Don't you know that love will come to you
Don't you know there's something you can do
Don't you want to share your life with someone?
Love will be waiting, love will be waiting
Do you feel the burning and the hunger?
Love is there waiting, love is there waiting
Don't you know that love will come to you?
Don't you know there's something you can do!
Look at the reflection in the mirror...
take a good look at the person you see
Let the real you shine out ever clearer...
Help yourself to be, the best you can be!
A promise of true love brings satisfaction
Yes, love will find you, yes it will find you
Feelings deep inside, more than attraction
Yes, it will find you, yes love will find you
Don't you know that love will come to you?
Don't you know there's something you can do!
Look at the reflection in the mirror...
take a good look at the person you see
Let the real you shine out ever clearer...
Help yourself to be, the best you can be!
Happiness that will last, your whole lifetime!
Yes, love has found you, yes love has found you
A lasting love that will forever shine!
Yes, love has found you, yes, love has found you
Don't you know that love will come to you?
Don't you know there's something you can do!
Look at the reflection in the mirror...
take a good look at the person you see
Let the real you shine out ever clearer...
Help yourself to be, the best you can be!

I am successful at this role every day.

defined by my beliefs.
I believe in the fiber of someone's character
not their words,
in their intent not just their actions.
Peoples needs are important to me not just my own.
committed to forgiveness,
Humans are basically good.
The forest is dense predators lurk in the shadows.
Fear plays too important a role in too many lives.
I help others rather than judge them negatively.

Even though the task ahead seems insurmountable
we will find our way through the black of these days.
People with completely different views can and do bond.
I believe
We must learn tolerance for without it we are lost.
I believe
in priorities
I do not give too much importance
to words and ideas.
I learn from nature
like the mighty oak
I can bend with the wind.
I prefer more round tables,
less round 'em up.
In less locks
more open doors,
in more heart
less knee jerks.
I have the strength to accept I die

I worry about the incredible suffering
exists away from North America.
I Am

It is about put up
or shut up.
I am anything but silent.
I Am

I never knew following dreams could be this lonely,
But up on the hill, looking back, thank God I'm not the old me.
If the tears will fall, let them be;
I believe this is God's plan, follow your dreams.

Two statues of stone
On pedestals in the park
One male
One female
White objects of a perfections beauty
Yet they stood erect and alone
When the rain fell
This was their tears
The stared at each other with longing
The trees grew tall
Season by season the flowers bloomed
Two statues standing erect in the prison of life's hold
A poet walked in the park
Glancing at lovers, kisses at dusk
He stared at the statues above his head
He knew, with dread, the loneliness of stone maidens
He waited for the park to become enclosed in the twilight
With toil and sweat he did succeed on his lark
Pushing the statues close rather than apart
As one statue danced and the other one sang
They kissed the sweetness of night and felt the tears of joy
All because a poet
Wished them a lovers embrace
He knew them like they were his children
For here he was as well
A statue
In love

Shackles of cynicism have displaced your heart,
the love that once transcended time is no more.
No wordsmith can bring beauty to an invisible emotion,
lost in translation to an ignorant uncultured mind.
As you searched for a definition of the tangible,
intangible feelings were ignored, even with eyes shut.
Funny, how three words cause a chemical imbalance,
but the euphoria is short lived when ego takes hold.
Promises to comfort, wipe away tears, anguish and pain,
come with no guarantee of satisfaction - no refund for regret.
Love does not say when the fire is burning to wage war,
it provides an opportunity to nourish peace and harmony.
Love does not say to be bitter and live with a grudge,
it asks for you to forgive, not to antagonise another's soul.
In a world lost to materialistic commercialism,
the skeptic doubts like a pessimistic detractor.
Love is not like money, that must be reciprocated with interest,
it is simply an undetectable phenomenon that graces us all.
To some a second hand emotion, but the language of love
still remains the most powerful feeling known to humanity.
One tongue that has no religion, race nor geographical boundary,
which only fails to blossom when limits are implanted.

I got a love that's never gonna die
Your love has breathed new life into me,
has filled my heart that was once empty
I got a love that's alive and spry
A fragrant violet voice has revived the old bones,
turning back the clock is a good thing
Gave me a pep in my step, a soul zing
Your love rekindled the flame that was long gone
How could you know that you would affect me so,
make me to rise up from my slumbering deep
Go walking to the garden of orchid waking dreams
A shower of kindness make the seeds of your love grow,
blossoms of smiles move my undressed heart to weep
My love for you will never die, for it has been redeemed

Christian Love frame
The only need for death to every exist
Was to slay the fictional self
And all the embellishments used to support it
Fear not, Love's little flock
You will not be set to fly
And then be allowed to fall
To be strong in your Love
Is to inherit the power of God
That now lies dormant in your essence
For your possession of absolute truth
Is a point at which your Love and your reality
Both become one in God
Slaying your fictional self, being honorable
Is your first step toward your recovery
Of your conscious immortality
For what is sin but the force and mischief
Used to instill and empower
Your mentally invented lower realities
Withholding forgiveness
Is the ego's assault against life
Love does not judge
For what is the mercy of Love
But that it repeats it's lessons of life
Until they are learn by the mind
For Love already knows,
What life is yet to learn
Therefore learn from who you are
And teach your outer self
Love's absolute truth
Love is your true reality, a constant source
Has no beginning or no end
The unlimited potential, quite essential
My prayer for 2010 is that;
These proceeding sayings
Become obsolete this year
In the face of your Love itself, Smile!
Stay in your Bibles, my little bibles
For Love is your title
Not your mind of idol!!

Blue –
for your arm wrapped around
my clavicle. I thought
I would loose my breath.
Red –
for the cusp of our hip bones
struggling to pull the drunken color
from our orange cheeks.
and our sweat, our sweat, our sweat
in the drenched summer air.
Our pants futile afterthoughts
Left crumpled on the floor
It is here I asked for your respect
And you filled me with it.
Orange –
for the musk smell of our blanket den. I would watch the way dawn light
speckled your shoulders, pale, white-blue
I would trace the ink
of your skin, fingertip hovering a half inch
from your bone.
Green –
for how my name would hesitate
on your breath in brief puffs
like dandelion seeds blown from
My wistful lips when I was
waiting for them to bring back my wish.
Black –
for my sleeveless dress, as we strolled from
your father's funeral.
It was the only time I watched you cry.
There were little holes in the cement sidewalk.
They filled with rain, oil
And your tears.
I watched your face change through
their watery colored reflections.
Pink –
for the way your skin repels from my
Touch, quivers as though my finger-
print were a red hot poker.
You haven't allowed me to touch you
In a year.
Purple –
for the color of her font, as she responds to you. It is an eager
Color. She responds with all the passion of an Eskimo kiss.
You left her waitng..always.
I have been special to you,
she replies to your
Her letters
Who blush
like a maid
Who's felt the hot moist
whisper of something naughty
tickle against her ear lobe.
White –
for the way your eyes punch accusations
sharper then your razor tongue.
They spit
blue crackled lightening,
like an angry alley cat.
My words cannot reach you here.
You will leave.
We will divide our booty
Words that once held my name like a piece
Of carefully folded origami
now hiss cold
devoid like the plaster of our empty room.
for the morning
now knocking on my window.
I am livid in my withdrawal, tossing and turning
I can find no comfort
the tangle of these vacant sheets.

I wish I knew how, had ability to turn
away from you and not look back to see if it
affected you, my turning away, walking off.
I want you to miss this, and I fail to pass off
the distance as a gravely unfortunate turn
of events, see truth within desperation, it
blinds, consumes, and (I hate to, but) I admit it
impossible to justify the breaking off
of any contact to once again inward turn.
I want to reach within, find this, and turn it off.

Love was in the air when he laid eyes on her.
Childhood; elementary and even high school with her.
Walking towards her, he greeted her.
Anxiety spiraled as he hugged her.
Conversation grew deeper as he sat with her.
Wanting to get closer because he was falling for her.
Another woman called pausing the time he was having with her.
Knowing he had to answer; he stepped away and spoke to her.
She stated that something wasn't quite right with her.
She said that her stomach had been bothering her.
Now he's thinking back if he came inside her.
Thinking if she lied to him about her tubes being tied within her.
Does he blame himself for listening to her?
Knowing right from wrong and yet he can't blame her.
Does he blame the devil for allowing him to be intimate with her?
Is he not a human that makes mistakes just like her?
Begging God to make a way for him and her.
Asking God to forgive him for committing the sin with her.
God said, "relax my son, you were only dreaming of her."

Where was I
when repo men invaded,
boxed me up within his cool heart
fragrant in its distaste of warmer climates?
You know,
climates governed by love.
(Daydreaming of knights, that's where.)
Now I have only so much patience remaining
for this slapstick brain-
a nasty reminder, the heckler of my heart,
what spews sensibility
when I simply yearn to err.
And I scarcely have time to mourn
his devil's smile
leaving southward in moving vans
transporting my pieces
(all the valid ones)
with him
as I sit numbed,
next to climbing ivy poisoned by my disbelief,
unpaid for.

You are the wild flower in my palm
With no stem to keep you anchored to this covetous earth
You are the fragile thing I dare not cup,
As your petals whittle away under the wind
And flit unfettered in the air;
Exaggerated fear leaves my fingers numb
Hungry need leaves my fingers twitching
And my hand is paralyzed by turmoil
As every breath of wind takes another petal from me
And brings to my lungs, my chest and my heart
An overwhelming scent of need-
You are the wild beauty in my palm
And I dare not hold you to my chest
For I fear to crush you
To know first hand
That caged beauty, is beauty no more.

Ah, memory is a fickle lover succumbing to the tide
grasping for the grains of sentiment sometimes left.
In cold or torrid waves, spent passions now abide
for you have left me, long ago, I'm now, alone bereft.
Grasping for the grains of sentiment sometimes left:
beside a roaring bonfire, where sparks on night winds glide;
for you have left me, long ago, I'm now alone, bereft.
I huddle in a dune's dark shade with nothing left inside.
Beside a roaring bonfire, where sparks on night winds glide,
we conceive a wayward child, a changeling child, a thief.
I huddle in a dune's dark shade with nothing left inside,
as the waves of age and ages, return only grief.
We conceive a wayward child, a changeling child, a thief.
In cold or torrid waves, spent passion now abides,
as the waves of age and ages, return only grief,
ah, memory is a fickle lover succumbing to the tide.

We let down the top to soak in the sun
Now that the harshness of winter is done
As you let back the seat and put your feet on the dash
Saying, "keep your eyes on the road I don't want to crash"
I truly must admit that I'm torn completely in two
The coast has its beauty, then again so do you
As the beauty of the Sun is absorbed by your skin
Like a kid at the candy store I simply want to dig in
If life is a candy store sweetheart you are the treat
All the other candy I tasted, never tasted so sweet
The reason I love summer is because of the heat
The skimpier the bikini, the greater the treat
I can't begin to express how wonderful you are
Saying, "hey take a look at her I'll steer the car"
At first I truly had no idea what I should say?
Though now it's, "ok sweetheart, have it your way"
I think that is because you know these words are true
I may take look at her but I shall forever belong to you
Summer is a time that is as bright as the sun
Out goes the cold as it's replaced by the fun
We have our barbecues and sit under the stars
Let down the tops and go for rides in our cars
Go tend to our gardens in farmer John clothes
Truly amazed at how fast everything grows
Go hang out at the river as well as the lake
Cover ourselves in oil than let our skin bake
Embrace the moments because these words are true
The days last much longer and the sky is so blue
The dog days of summer I reckon that's so
We bark and howl at folk we don't even know
If life is banquet then summer is the feast
I think we should gobble it up, to say the least

different drumbeats, separate Lives
he inhales the wind song, a static cling to yesterday
held in his heart until his melody fades
life, love, hope circle the drain
aging realist at one with his pain
love's last aria, a melancholy oboe resigns with setting sun
when two are no longer one, the chasm widens between haunting roars
tribal drums on opposite shores

We talked at length
The hours we passed
The life you lived
Oh the horrors
So many men's live snuffed
Oh Arizona, a dedication
Whose souls be at rest
Amidst oily scum
And so many others
Sightless eyes watch
The world in disintegration.
Yes, you've seen
Many unimaginable horrors
Those only Man can inflict
You've grasped my heart
I watched you whither away
A hero by all accounts
God rest your soul
Oh gentle man.
God rest ye gentle man.
My heart aches
With your passing
Now I have your cherished one
She that you know
Rested in my heart
For years and years and years
The one that tended you
All that time
Oh yes, that woman of women
She is in my arms
Forever… my very first love
The thought of whose love
Brings tears to my eyes
Together… finally…
Just so you know…
Semper Fidelis... you are my hero Donald Canan,USMC, WWII veteran Western
Pacific... he told death to get bent. May God Rest your soul.

Tears subside,
hushed breaths draw ebbing tide,
soft virgin sands, un-walked and damp, shine.
A delicate filigree of silvery brine
brings an interlude where grief and beauty entwine,
gently swaying between now and then.
Thoughts of 'remember when'
stir again.
Scattered far and wide,
bygones shimmer in rock pools,
scents on breezes ride...
elusive remnants of love
under bitter-sweet moonlight.
There is a place where reveries reside,
ensconced in time between the lows and highs,
where troubles disappear in ocean's sighs
and hopes return with happiness inside.
Where shades of blue, and rose hues coincide
to nurture promises of sweet reprise,
there is a place where reveries reside,
ensconced in time between the lows and highs.
A haven to reflect on love's divide,
recall that smile, the twinkle of those eyes
with fondness, then let woven dreams arise
with threads of gilded memories to guide...
this is the place where reveries reside.

Come and gone like small twister
like the cloud of debris he's left.
Echoes of Charlie Brown's buddy Pigpen
blow through the cobwebs in memory.
Left over coffee cups replacing
Transformers still dumped in the attic.
Reams of knarley skateboards, wheel-less,
lay in piles like so much unburnable refuse.
The obligatory hugs and peck, over and done
the never paid chauffeur collapses…
Ah, to have him always near,
So, each kiss was not quite so dear.
The last fair maid on parade has wandered across
the home front, wondering about her predecessor,
still tacked with magnets to the fridge,
still part of my heart and his…
Sons…they say, do not cause such angst.
Couldn't prove it by this mother.
This maternal blimp of unused helium
was not permitted a girl child.
One did come and fleetingly leave before formed.
We'll never know the sweetness of her.
Let the image of his manly self disperse, this son..
into the mist as his Father's has…
to be remembered again, only in times of need, his need,
for to do anything else, would be to rub salt
in an open wound.

Soft creeps the splendid dream tides of the night
The burning embers of heavens breath descends upon my dreams
Dreams of you, my love tonight
Sparkling wishes, amulet stars, a kiss goodnight.
Heart withstanding aches I dare retrace,
I am accompanied by a newfound face, an explorer's vision
Tears of joy sprout from their jeweled wings,
Flying toward the smiling moon,
I welcome dreams…tonight, I welcome you
Where whispers trail the sleeping waters.... my love goodnight
Unending sails, hearts submerged in love's delight
Tonight I dream of you
On the rosy fields of memoirs sweet
Soft, tender breezes remind me of your crescent touch..
I curl into the swaying waters, cradled by our memory
Where once you smiled in afterthought, and I in golden reverie
Would beauty among these gentle scenes kindly draw you in?
So maybe we can share the graces of light that lives within
Soft moonlit roses, dripping in night-shined dew,
Yes, even as they close, tonight I dream of you.
Take my hand, don't let me leave this land
For it thrives on our love's horizon,
Draw your words upon my life, and let night take its stand
But before I sleep, my love tonight. Oh let me seal it with a kiss.
That in beauty's dream my light would float in your love's eternity.
A thousand saddest days may come, and a thousand darkest dreams
But I'll chase them all for you my love, just to have you in my dreams.
These eyes closed tightly with the rosebuds ,
Shall open before clouds, dark and awry
And in the ground, my love for you shall yet still bloom,
Fed by the healing rain, and your steady love refrain
When tonight I dream of you
-A special collaboration with poet Mustapha Mohammad-
Copyright © Laura Breidenthal | Year Posted 2015
For you, my love, I'll be a single rose
of crimson hue, and velvet to the touch.
So warm in contrast to your fallen snows,
yet yearning for the thrill of winter's clutch.
Soft petals form a heart so firm and true,
unyielding to the tempest of your reign,
and though a cold wind nurtures doubt in you,
such purity of love I could not feign.
Dilemmas of the soul so keenly felt.
Bestow my love? or must it stay a dream?
for if I warmed your heart 'twould surely melt
and I would lose you to the flowing stream.
And so, my love, this single rose I'll hide
and keep the love I feel for you inside.
Let not my heart become in my old age
"An empty room, cobwebbed, and comfortless"
But an open sunny porch, a welcome sage
A loving heart to those in distress
Let not my pain sabotage my soft heart
Let me remain a gentle, kind spirit
Writing a course of good 'pon my sea chart
Let love from heart's depths to God submit
Enjoining to You oh Holy Spirit
Flow through me like a circuit open ended
This vessel delights in your benefits
Let the love seed grow with fastest speed
Let my heart not be controlled by body's pain
Fill my heart with Thy love 'til it can't contain
"An empty room, cobwebbed, and comfortless"

It was in more than one of her works..

Wont you find me here?
Drifting in an expanse of swirling storm
Outstreched fingers graze debris...
recklessly circling reminders.
Stand in the eye with me
Lick our wounds rebounding
Warriors victoriously smiting circumstance
leaving wolves discouraged
disparaging darkness with insane glee
Walk here and find me
Reach out think here
You create me and I construct you
Piece me in missing places
Mending voids delicate and knowing
I slay inherited growths of insecurity
Stating truths untold to your beautiful ears
Know this warmth....
Let these branches sprawl
grow in all directions to withstand walls closing in
A grand old tree would remain...generations of our eyes
taking glance from limbs strong and true
You crush my cycle--end it's existence
I'll destroy your boundary...kill it's constriction
Our tower stronger and rooted
Yet with loftier cloud grazing height
lets disorient ourselves in this foreign altitude
Touch this sky with me
Copyright © Steve Voorhees | Year Posted 2009
When I am Colder,Older and then alone...
I will collect the sky on my own...
When the art has faded and the days then fade-
when everyone has gone away...
I may finally see what never was saw
.....ahhhhhhhhhhhhh............... the quiet sky
The unlit room which bares my end...shows the flashes of my pains my joys and sins.
This life has been a strange one since the curtains were drawn
These paper and plastic figures have clouded the dawn
I was once younger,foolish,and obsessed with truth
Now I am bitter,sour,dour faced with my heart under shoe
The children were all searching or lost in a crowd
All weeds in a garden...growing vile and foul
Though beauty was sold it never came true
Obsessions and vanity have traveled safe through
Materials and poison and everything lost
have been burned in the fires or lost in the frost
I stand face to mirror tearing my being apart
Winding thoughts of love,pain,god,and art
As the sun sets and the darkness grows
I too shall follow this pattern in tow
Death has a friendly hand and a pretty face
She has given me comfort as I leave this place
The wars have occurred,humanity's lost
Souls have been burnt in the fire or lost in the frost
Day was Life,Night is Death
And the latter has given counsel on my final steps
Copyright © Winter Wallace | Year Posted 2009
Blood that screams mixes with tears of fears,
Over your hypocrisy and useless years.
Fresh cuts don't matter - your attentions yet wane.
It's just too easy to shut down, I could end this pain.
But, escape artists aren't artists at all.
When life ends the real journey begins, the journey to be
Above imperfection and glorified weakness everyone sees.
Life trickles into the drain of the sink, wash it and pretend
The veil is burning off,but there is only so much fire can mend
Besides, escape artists aren't artists at all.

Cameron Erving
Old Position: Defensive tackle
Analysis: While a bit of a head scratcher, as Erving redshirted in 2010 but burst onto the scene this past year and contributed greatly -- 20 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and one sack -- at defensive tackle as a freshman, word out on the street is that the 6-5, 305-pounder went to the coaching staff and asked to move to the other side of the ball. Yes, Florida State is loaded along the interior of the defense and landed two more potential studs on signing day in Eddie Goldman and Justin Shanks, although it's difficult to understand why a player would vacate a position that features a lot of rotating to play a different position in which non-starters are fixtures on the bench. If Erving signed up for this switch voluntarily, either he was told he'd be in the starting lineup or has all the confidence in the world he can beat out the likes of Hart and Josue Matias.
Fallout: With Erving, Hart and Matias presumably battling for the two tackle jobs, junior-college additions Daniel Glauser and Menelik Watson might have to consider moving inside to guard if they want to get on the field.
Nick Moody
Old Position: Safety
Analysis: The player teammates call "Hit Stick" was one of the leading tacklers for the Seminoles as a sophomore in 2010, but this past season he dealt with a handful of nagging leg injuries and watched senior Terrance Parks take away the majority of his playing time. Almost always a better in-the-box defender and a bit of a liability in coverage, now the 6-2, 242-pounder -- he's apparently put 18 pounds on his frame already during the offseason conditioning program -- won't have to run with receivers anymore and can concentrate on backs and tight ends. With Nigel Bradham freshly graduated and looking like a second-round pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, perhaps Luc isn't a no-brainer selection to take over on the weak side after all.
Fallout: Every FSU fan is dying to see what Karlos Williams can do on defense, not just on kick returns, so this move means the starting assignment is his for the taking alongside fellow safety Lamarcus Joyner.
Dan Hicks
Old Position: Defensive end
Analysis: It's not like he has never played the position before, as Hicks was originally recruited by the 'Noles to be a tight end and has plenty of experience there, but it's interesting that he goes from one position of need to another. Both Beau Reliford and Ja'Baris Little have split, and Tye isn't exactly going to push Nick O'Leary on the depth chart. Even though O'Leary is the most dangerous pass-catching weapon to arrive in Tallahassee at tight end in quite some time, he only caught 12 passes as a freshman and was an afterthought down the stretch because his blocking wasn't up to snuff -- coach Jimbo Fisher doesn't like situational players and wants his skill-position guys to be able to do it all.
Fallout: Giorgio Newberry was rumored to be a possible switchee from defensive end to offensive tackle, and while that won't happen now, this could still turn out to be a regrettable decision if an injury bug happens to take a bite out of Brandon Jenkins, Bjoern Werner or Cornellius Carradine.
Toshmon Stevens
Old Position: Defensive end
Analysis: Since he has completed three years of eligibility and never amounted to anything more than a special-teams ace, nobody expects Stevens to crack the rotation on defense no matter what position the coaches ask him to play. Too lean to be a hand-in-the-dirt defensive end at 235 pounds, he might make sense as a second- or third-team 'backer on the strong side behind incumbent Christian Jones. There are grumblings that Terrell -- the native of Pelham, Alabama, spent 2011 as a second stringer backing up Jones but rarely entered the huddle -- is not progressing as once hoped.
Fallout: Even more reason to think Newberry and incoming recruits Mario Edwards and Chris Casher are in line for regular playing time in 2012, not that Stevens was ever going to stand in their way in the first place.

'OTAKU - Music For An Imaginary Film'
This concept album is my "Final Major Project" for UH University.
It is a "Dolby Digital Professional 5.1" surround type of work.
The concept is based on the story of Tsutomu Miyazaki, best know as "The Otaku Murderer". He was a very smart Japanese student who suffered with a malformation to the hands. This misfortune shaped his character and his social life, slowly turning him into a paedophile first (taking pictures and videos of his victims) and then into a true serial killer of four female children. After abusing their bodies, he would engage in acts such as drinking their blood and eating their hands (because of his disease he was obsessed with hands).
Following these murders, the word "Otaku" has assumed a significant meaning, and this is why nowadays it is considered a strong taboo in Japan.
The album is a representation of the inner journey in the psychology and interiority of the person and the mind that stands behind these murders. It explores the different emotional states, sensations and sudden and strong switches of mood, all narrated through the music. The album consists of brief and diverse chunks, where each one represents a specific mental state or episode of this tragedy.
Despite the disturbing and macabre tones of this event, I intended to narrate it in a delicate way. Firstly, because the story is told in first person, by the protagonist (the murderer) and secondly, because whilst doing what he did, he was deeply convinced that he was doing something right ("Tell the world I am a gentle man" is what he last said before being executed.)
Genre and narrative style: I did attempt to amalgamate various elements in order to create a unique and original language to tell a story with; to narrate and describe what (I would like to think) was in the mind of the murderer.

Report: City 1-3 Sheffield United
Mark Perrow reports from Ashton Gate
City were beaten at home in the league for the first time since November as Sheffield United overturned a half-time deficit to avenge their opening day defeat at Bramall Lane.
A dour first half was lit up by Matt Smith's 13th goal in his last 13 games shortly before the interval, but City were unable to kick on.
Instead Matt Done converted a scrappy equaliser ten minutes after the break and doubled his tally 13 minutes from time to turn the game on its head.
Jamie Murphy made sure all three points would be heading north to the Steel City with the Blades' third goal, with City horribly exposed on the break trying in vain to chase an equaliser.
Steve Cotterill made one change to his side victorious over Port Vale in midweek, recalling Mark Little in the right wing-back role at the expense of James Tavernier.
The two teams had played a combined 81 matches in all competitions before the start of play, and there was no great urgency about either side in the opening minutes.
It was as if City and the Blades had agreed to give each other a breather in the middle of a gruelling schedule, which has left both teams with games in hands on their promotion rivals.
What played out was arguably the least memorable 45 minutes of football at Ashton Gate this season.
Jay Emmanuel-Thomas was the catalyst for City to click into gear against Vale, but never looked like producing a repeat four days later.
An ambitious chip from 30 yards left Iain Turner in the United goal untroubled, while a slick turn to leave him running at the back four was halted by referee Graham Salisbury, who called the play back to book Chris Basham for a foul on Joe Bryan.
By now the visitors had already lost the services of their most creative player, with Jose Baxter limping off after 24 minutes with what looked like a leg muscle injury.
But City would find a way to edge their noses in front four minutes before the interval via a familiar source.
Again it was an attack started by Bryan, who again took a late hit off the ball as he offloaded a pass out to Luke Freeman on the left touchline.
This time Salisbury allowed play to continue, and Freeman carried the ball into a crossing position before his deflected delivery dropped perfectly for
to steal in and score.
The striker read the flight of the ball quickest and prodded over the line from six yards with Turner stranded by the looping ricochet.
City started the second half brightly enough, with Emmanuel-Thomas and Freeman both firing low shots wide from distance before United scrambled home an untidy equaliser on 55 minutes.
It was a moment that made Cotterill see red. Little had been clearly fouled in a previous attack without being awarded a free kick, and when blocked off by Bob Harris, man in the middle Salisbury came to the same conclusion.
Already irate, the mood of the City boss was not helped when the Blades counter-attacked to score.
Adventurous right-back John Brayford produced a low cross that found its way through to Jason Holt, whose initial strike was parried by Frank Fielding before
forced the ball over the line from point-blank range.
It was a real kick in the teeth for City, hardly troubled by the Capital One Cup semi-finalists up to that point.
But the response was good, as if Cotterill's sense of injustice had rubbed off on to his players.
Bryan set about restoring the lead with a surging run into the penalty area, standing the ball up from the byeline for Emmanuel-Thomas to meet at the back post.
Just as the striker looked set to score from unusually close range, Harris was perfectly placed on the post to make a goal-line clearance and preserve parity.
With title rivals Swindon Town and MK Dons both behind, Cotterill smelled an opportunity to open up a seven point lead at the top and introduced Kieran Agard from the bench as an extra forward player at the expense of Wade Elliott.
But soon enough United had turned the game on its head. Murphy played a neat one-two to tiptoe into the box and square the ball for
to score his second from a combined distance of less than six yards.
City were rocking, and within five minutes their visitors had wrapped up the points with a breakaway third.
Luke Ayling was dispossessed on the halfway line, leaving
with a clean run on goal, eventually checking inside the covering Aden Flint and dispatching the ball in clinical fashion beyond the helplessly exposed Fielding.
City had gambled on turning one point into three, but the lead at the top remains unchanged with one more date ticked off the fixture calendar.

Market View: Managed Muni Ladders Could Counter Rising Rates
Chart 1. How a Managed Muni Ladder Could Adjust to Rising Interest Rates
Projected yields and annual income based on hypothetical ladders of general obligation 'AA' rated municipal securities as of the indicated dates
Source: Lord Abbett and Bloomberg. Bond yield data based on maturity-specific components of the Bloomberg Daily Generic OAS Yield Curve on 'AA'-Rated General Obligation Municipal Bonds, as of September 9, 2014.
The charts presented do not represent the results that any particular investor actually attained. The information presented is based, in part, on hypothetical assumptions. No representation or warranty is made as to the reasonableness of the assumptions made or that all the assumptions used in achieving the results have been stated or fully considered. The hypothetical results have many inherent limitations and no representation is made that any account will or is likely to profit similar to those shown in the chart. Actual performance results may differ substantially. Changes in the scenario assumptions may have a material impact on the hypothetical results presented.
All returns and yields are gross of fees and taxes. As the first year bond matures or rolls down outside the specified ladder range and needs to be sold, additional bonds are purchased on the furthest rung of the ladder using those proceeds. It is assumed that bonds are purchased at par where the coupon equals the yield. "Income" refers to coupon income.
Forecasts and projections are based on current market conditions and are subject to change without notice. Projections should not be considered a guarantee.
For illustrative purposes only and does not reflect the performance of any Lord Abbett mutual fund or any particular investment. An investor may not experience similar results.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The income derived from municipal securities may be subject to the alternative minimum tax. Federal, state and local taxes may apply. The value of an investment in fixed-income securities will change as interest rates fluctuate and in response to market movements. As interest rates fall, the prices of debt securities tend to rise. As rates rise, prices tend to fall.
One of the simplest tools for muni investors to use in order to position their portfolios for a period of rising interest rates might be the managed muni "ladder." The fundamental idea of a ladder is that the investor buys a bond at each maturity within a predetermined range (typically starting with a one-year muni, and then adding other maturities at one-year intervals) and then holds each to maturity. These bonds are the "rungs" of the ladder. Chart 1 uses one popular ladder model, which contains 10 bonds in one-year maturity intervals. One year after the ladder is constructed the one-year bond matures, while the maturity of each of the other bonds has decreased by one year. To keep the ladder intact, a new 10-year bond is purchased by the investor to replace the bond that matured. This keeps the 10-bond sequence of one- to-10-year maturities intact.
The ladder approach has three fundamental benefits. Two are widely acknowledged, while the third, lesser-known aspect may actually be the most attractive feature in the current market. The first is that they mitigate price risk, because ladders hold bonds to maturity—thus the investor pays par value for the bond, and receives the same value when it matures. Second, the ladder provides a simplified approach to income: each year, the investor receives the coupon from each bond to either reinvest or take as income. (As illustrated in Chart 1, the ladder as initially constructed provides $3,766 of income in the first year based on a $250,000 par value of bonds.)
The third benefit may come as a surprise to some investors, but a managed ladder could provide a solid defense against rising interest rates. As mentioned earlier, when a bond matures in the ladder, the investor buys a new one at the longest maturity of the ladder; for the ladder depicted in Chart 1, it would be 10 years. This new bond will have a yield based on current interest rates in the market. So, as interest rates rise and muni bond yields go up, the new bond that the investor purchases each year will have a higher yield. For example, let's say that interest rates rise over the next five years at a rate of 50 basis points (bps) per year, bringing the total increase to 250 bps, or 2.5%. If that happened, each year a new bond would be purchased with a yield 50 bps higher than the bond that preceded it.
The result is that the income stream from would rise each year as the muni ladder makes adjustments for rising interest rates. In our illustration, after five years, the muni ladder is generating more than double the income it was in the first year. [Market forecasts and projections, however, are based on current market conditions and, thus, are subject to change without notice.]
How then does one build a muni ladder? A few years ago, the answer would have been simple: buy an 'AAA' rated muni bond at each maturity. But that task is not as easy these days because there are fewer 'AAA' rated bonds in the market and there is a lower inventory of muni bonds available from dealers. Given these difficulties, an investor may wish instead to consider a professionally managed muni ladder. A professional manager could provide three key benefits:
- Professional monitoring and security selection—Note that the ladder in Chart 1 draws on 'AA' rated bonds, given the shrinking availability of 'AAA' rated munis in the current market. With the reduced supply of insured bonds, continuous monitoring and assessment of the bonds in the ladder becomes imperative. A professional manager can provide those services and then use research capabilities to select appropriate replacements for maturing issues.
- Better inventory access—A professional manager has relationships with hundreds of muni bond dealers across the country, giving the manager access to bonds that often times aren't readily available to all investors
- Better purchasing power—A professional manager also buys bonds in bulk, often purchasing directly from the issuer instead of on the secondary market as would most investors. As a result, a manager can purchase bonds at wholesale prices instead of individual retail prices.

A Note about Risk: The value of investments in fixed-income securities will change as interest rates fluctuate and in response to market movements. As interest rates fall, the prices of debt securities tend to rise, and as interest rates rise, the prices of debt securities tend to fall. Income from municipal securities may be subject to the alternative minimum tax. Federal, state, and local taxes may apply. There is a risk that a bond issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the IRS as taxable, creating taxable rather than tax-exempt income. Bonds may also be subject to other types of risk, such as call, credit, liquidity, interest-rate, and general market risks. High-yield securities, sometimes called junk bonds, carry increased risks of price volatility, illiquidity, and the possibility of default in the timely payment of interest and principal. No investing strategy can overcome all market volatility or guarantee future results.
There is no guarantee that markets will perform in a similar manner under similar conditions in the future.
Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in declining markets.
The Bloomberg Daily Generic OAS Yield Curve details yields on general obligation municipal bonds at various maturities and credit qualities. It is comprised of contributed pricing from the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board, new issues calendars, and other Bloomberg proprietary contributed prices.
Indexes are unmanaged, do not reflect the deduction of fees or expenses, and are not available for direct investment.
A basis point is one one-hundredth of a percentage point.
A bond ladder is a technique for reducing the impact of interest-rate risk by structuring a portfolio with different bond issues that mature at different dates.
A general obligation bond (GO) typically refers to a bond issued by a state or local government that is payable from general funds of the issuer, although the precise source and priority of payment for general obligation bonds may vary considerably from issuer to issuer depending on applicable state or local law. Most GO bonds are said to entail the full faith and credit (and in many cases the taxing power) of the issuer, depending on applicable state or local law. GO bonds issued by local units of government often are payable from (and in some cases solely from) the issuer's ad valorem taxes, while GO bonds issued by states often are payable from appropriations made by the state legislature.
Yield is the annual interest received from a bond and is typically expressed as a percentage of the bond's market price.
The credit quality of the securities in a portfolio is assigned by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), such as Standard & Poor's, Moody's, or Fitch, as an indication of an issuer's creditworthiness. Ratings range from 'AAA' (highest) to 'D' (lowest). Bonds rated 'BBB' or above are considered investment grade. Credit ratings 'BB' and below are lower-rated securities (junk bonds). High-yielding, non-investment-grade bonds (junk bonds) involve higher risks than investment grade bonds. Adverse conditions may affect the issuer's ability to pay interest and principal on these securities.

Walter Raleigh Hotel, Youghal
Updated Hotel with lots of charm
The Walter Raleigh was an excellent and affordable place to stay while visiting friends in the area. While the rooms were a little on the small side, the hotel was recently updated and had charm, comfort, cleanliness, walkability, excellent service, and a beautiful view. The breakfast in the morning (included with the room) was also excellent. I would definitely stay here again when in the Youghal area.

Give This Classic Hotel a Try
This is a lovely renovated hotel. We stayed in a family room with beds for four people. Usually, we are prepared to be squished, but this room was incredibly spacious. While the hotel is older, that doesn't mean dirty or run-down. Lot's of character and wonderful staff. The bathroom was recently renovated and gorgeous, although some counter space would have been nice.

Bravo! Bravo....enough said...
Walter Raleigh Hotel, Youghal
Good for where it is
I am basing this 4 star rating on the fact that YOUGAL does not have much going on. It is a VERY quiet but quaint town. We were in town for a wedding and this was definitely the best option of where to stay. Conveniently located in town and thus walking distance from the main street. The people in the hotel are very sweet and make you feel as if you are visiting your aunt and uncle on a holiday weekend. Nothing more.
Walter Raleigh Hotel, Youghal
Newly renovated and clean
After finding most hotels in Cobh were not available, we stayed at this hotel in Youghal as a second location choice. The hotel was very clean and modern. It had the best shower of all the hotels we stayed in during our two week Ireland vacation, a good breakfast and a great waterview. There was plenty of free parking available, which isn't always available at Irish hotels. Even if the parking is free, finding enough spaces is not always possible. I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in this area of Ireland.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

When the dielectric is inserted assuming no energy is lost I would expect the voltage to fall to 1/10-.5 KV ie 316.2 V so that CV^2/2 remains the same.
I am very puzzled by the opinion of JP that 90% of the energy in the system has disappeared by the voltage being reduced to 10% of what it was while the capacitance is increased 10 times.Where has it gone ? it cannot surely be the work done moving the dielectric sheet in.
Why? A dielectric with ε>ε0 polarizes under the action of the field, so it's attracted between the plates, so it gains kinetic energy. Neglecting the energy conveyed into heat because of Joule effect inside the dielectric and into radiated electromagnetic waves because of time variable currents, this kinetic energy is what you loose from the capacitor.
I was just about to say that, but Lightarrow beat me to it [] (Yeah! Sure you were Geezer!)Should it not be a gain in potential energy rather than kinetic energy?
Quote from: Geezer on 21/09/2009 19:53:29I was just about to say that, but Lightarrow beat me to it [] (Yeah! Sure you were Geezer!)Should it not be a gain in potential energy rather than kinetic energy? Of course it is potential energy at the beginning and kinetic energy with the dielectric exactly between the plates; in other positions it's both potential and kinetic, thanks for pointing it out [].
The capacitor would have to be mounted on a track sufficiently far from the dielectric sheet along with its voltage measuring equipment.After charging it is moved slowly into the vicinity of the dielectric sheet which is drawn between the plates.by measuring the deflection of the sheet we can calculate how much energy has been transferred to it an see how it corelates to the voltage on the capacitor.It should be conducted in a very dry atmosphere or vacuum chamber as an moisture on the surface of the dielectric sheet would distort the results.

Better world or better shopping?
What records managers need to know about Big data
John Davies
Head of Business Consulting, Idox PLC
20 April 2013
The new availability of huge amounts of data, along with the statistical tools to crunch these numbers, offers a whole new way of understanding the world. Correlation supersedes causation, and science can advance even without coherent models, unified theories, or really any mechanistic explanation at all.

commercial property for rent or lease, Industrial Space For Lease.
Vandalia (MO) commercial property for lease, rent, and leased investments.
Find Vandalia industrial buildings for lease, retail rentals, & shops. Locate a Vandalia warehouse lease and any real estate for lease / investment, including industrial properties to rent and sale.
Some Vandalia commercial businesses may be more productive and efficient if they have adequate office area. In some areas the monthly lease on such Vandalia areas can very often make up a substantial amount of a small company's budget. Sometimes it's feasible to share facilities like conference rooms with other Vandalia tenants, to reduce costs. Consider different options before taking out a long-term lease on a large workplace when the possibility may exist that your Vandalia business could outgrow the areas quickly. Consider short-term rentals for companies that are growing and in transition.
Search Vandalia real estate and space for sale, lease and rent
While leasing may be short term, less risky, and less expensive than purchasing Vandalia commercial property, signing a lease is still a binding and legal document. Seek legal advice before beginning your search for real estate, an experienced attorney in Vandalia real estate law can help you to avoid signing a contract that may be signing you up for un-necessary expenses and liability that could potential harm business. If you lack time to scout and negotiate contract terms, a broker in Vandalia may be a worthy asset to use.
Vandalia commercial, industrial real estate, and land for commercial or industrial development, in nearly all cases has to be specifically zoned for a particular, or multiple business use. Investments in both Vandalia commercial and Industrial properties ideally will result in real estate appreciation and either be an ideal home for the purchasers business, or for the Vandalia investor, a return on investment from rental income. On the other hand a misguided or emotional purchase can entail risk, such as bankruptcy of the tenant business and a decline in Vandalia real estate value. Low demand for the business and overbuilding are just two reasons for declining investment return on capital.

Recently a group of people was arrested by the Police Force for selling car policies fraudulently. They claimed to be insurance agents, issued fake policies and collected premium while leaving the drivers without insurance.
These unauthorized agents were pretending the representatives of various insurers. If you have any concerns that you may have been contacted by one of these fraudulent agents, or are suspicious about any communications purporting to be from any insurer, make sure you call the insurer to verify before making any purchase.
DirectAsia is a licensed insurance company. At DirectAsia, when you buy your insurance policy you buy directly from us. This means you can make substantial savings on your time and money because there's no agents' commission to pay.
We only sell direct. You can insure with us directly via online or hotline. We have not appointed any independent agents to sell insurance products on our behalf. The official ways to purchase insurance with Direct Asia are as follows:
For existing customers, you could login to 'My Account' to check your policy. Be alert when you drive as well as when you purchase insurance policy.
For any queries, please contact us at (852) 2884 8800. We are happy to assist you.
Do you share your car with friends or family? Or are you the only driver? By naming the people who will be driving, you pay the right price for your needs.
And when you name the drivers on your policy, all named drivers enjoy the same benefits as the main driver. That means no extra excess in the event of a claim.
You can add up to four named drivers to your policy
Get a Quote
Excess is simply the amount you are required to pay in the event of a claim.
The actual amount of excess you have to pay depends on how you've set up your policy.
When buying your policy you have the options of setting your excess. In many cases opting to pay a higher excess (paying a bit more for repairs before we reimburse you) results in a lower premium for you.
To choose the right excess for your needs, weigh what you're able to pay in the event of an accident versus your monthly premium costs.
There are some flat excess charges for certain types of claims:
If Your Car is involved in an Accident while being driven for a purpose other than the declared usage, there is an additional excess of HKD 10,000.
If your window or windshield is damaged and you choose to have it replaced, there is a HKD 500 excess. This fee is waived if you have your windscreen repaired. We can even arrange for one of our windshield repair experts to visit you at your preferred location for greater convenience, subject to scheduling.
If your car is involved in an accident and an unnamed/inexperienced driver was driving there's an additional excess
Unnamed driver: HKD 10,000
Unnamed + Young / Inexperienced Driver: HKD 35,000
Unnamed + Young + Inexperienced Driver: HKD 60,000
If you choose to go to a garage or repair workshop outside of DirectAsia's Approved Workshops you have to pay an excess of HKD 10,000 or 25% of the repair cost (whichever the higher). You can avoid this excess by either choosing to have your car repaired at one of our Approved Workshops or selecting the My Workshop optional benefit.

Date of Stay: August, 2015
Spent two nights here in order to visit Banff National Park/Lake Louise. It had rained and huge puddles covered the blacktop. We had only 15 amp electric, NO water, NO sewer & the WiFi did not work. They charge for showers and they were not clean. It was a very unpleasant place & would not recommend to anyone. It seems to be connected to some attractive adjoining condos by the same name & it is surprising the RV park was so bad.
Date of Stay: August, 2015
This campground is under new management and the owners are working diligently to improve the grounds. The showers and restrooms were spotless. But even more important, the owners are on site and extremely friendly and helpful. The owner quickly found a three prong adapter in his workshop that I needed to use my tire air pump and refused payment. The campground still needs landscape spruce-up, but they are working to accomplish that. All in all, a great place to visit.
Date of Stay: July, 2012
We spent two nights at this great little in-town park. It was one of the cleanest, most pleasant places which we have encountered on our cross-country trip. The owner was so helpful to us and constantly making sure things were in order. WiFi was great. Showers, restrooms, and laundry were immaculate. We would definitely stay here again.
