Preferred notation for discussion[edit]
Is it the purpose of this discussion to have only mathematicians talk to other mathematicians? I come from a programming background and am getting into 3D transformations. (Not a mathematician.) I cannot read the first paragraph. In the second sentence Rn (Rn] and Rm are used. In most programming languages that is an error as both are undefined.MartinRinehart (talk) 21:30, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
- My friend, frankly, most mathematicians are not actual mathematicians, but retarded drones. They express things like you see in this article, because they themselves don't understand the whys. They never learned it. They just know it by heart. Real mathematics comes from a problem that people once tried to solve. Then it evolved, so that it could solve other problems. Until it reached a very generalized form. This form then is "taught" (more hammered in) without any origins and reasonings, and without allowing any questioning on "the holy rules". And real mathematicians hate this, because it is the exact opposite of what math is all about. If you want to really learn math, in a way that allows to come up with things on your own, because you get it… deeply and fully… then I recommend reading the book that Paul Lockhart will bring out when he's done with writing it. Which is written to counter those horrible failures of drone pseudo-mathematicians. — 188.8.131.52 (talk) 00:28, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
- The second sentence says the same as the first sentence in a more formal way. You could have just followed the links to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_coordinate_space or looked up a term you don't understand. This is standard notation, what notation would you use instead? 188.8.131.52 (talk) 14:34, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
Affine matrix question[edit]
Does anyone know if it is possible to extract information from an affine matrix? Say you have a matrix rotated by 180 degrees and skewed on the X axis can you extract those two pieces of information? --126.96.36.199 16:29, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
- yeah! there are various techniques to decompose a transformation matrix into one rotate, one translate and two shear operations. --Diego 13:58, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
I don't have the time to edit it, but someone should edit the section about the transformation matrix for a reflection. The version they have is fine for a line from the origin to (ux,uy), but in many cases it's easier to do it as a reflection in the line y = x tan q. The matrix would be [[cos 2q sin 2q] [sin 2q -cos 2q]] (...I think).
2D rotation matrix error[edit]
Someone please check the 2D rotation matrix. I believe the signs on the sin()'s are backwards for clockwise/counterclockwise rotation... TiBaal89 (talk) 18:36, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
Please suggest an authentic source for coordinate transformation. There is a sign change required. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Share'n'serve (talk • contribs) 10:51, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
From what I can tell, the clock-wise and anti-clockwise rotations being presented are correct. However, it is not necessary to include both, clock-wise rotations are simply anti-clock wise rotations by a negative angle. Since sine and cosine are defined for all of the real numbers (and all possible angles) it's not necessary include both kinds of rotations. I recommend removing the clock-wise rotation, since mathematically positive rotation is counter-clockwise according to the definition of sine and cosine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 20:06, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
Error in the Perspective Projection Section[edit]
The matrix in the section on perspective projection is wrong. It's just the identity matrix. :) I think the bottom row should have been "0 0 1 0" instead of "0 0 0 1". Right? (sorry, i'm new to wikipedia, don't feel comfortable enough to change articles yet) Zaippa (talk) 04:15, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
Ok, i fixed the error here a day later.. Now the matrix actually does what it says in the text :) (seems that the matrix was correct some edits ago, but someone came along and changed it into the identity matrix) Zaippa (talk) 16:37, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
This is how the transforms look when calculated symbolically in MathCad:
To be consistent with the text, clearly the first of these two should be used. HonestGent (talk) 07:47, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
I think there is also another error. If we are mapping onto z = h, then the number in the bottom row should be -1/h. In this case -1. I am posting here because I'm not really sure, so somebody who knows should fix this.My source.--220.127.116.11 (talk) 14:49, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
I believe that this the clockwise and counterclockwise examples are opposite of the matrixes. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 20:41, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
FEB 2014: The pair of rotation matrices suddenly appears twice - (supposedly CW, CCW, but actually both CCW), the second set is correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2620:104:E001:9030:AD41:42DB:96B0:860E (talk) 14:58, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
I believe the first reflection matrix given in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformation_matrix#Reflection is not correct. Here I expose a correct statement for replacement:
"To reflect a vector about a line that goes through the origin, let (nx, ny) be a *unit* vector in the direction of the line:
Nevertheless, I don't want to erase current work because my arguments are heuristics, not matematics ;)... I'm not a matematician but a software developer. I tried to use current transformation matrix in a program and didn't work. The given one is correct and can be easily derived from equation (2) of http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Reflection.html.
Hope that somebody (more indicated than me) can correct the problem.

As I understand it, translation is a liner transformation. As such, does it have an associated matrix form? Either way, I'd like to see this explained in the article. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 13:04, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
- The first sentence of this article basically says it, though you'll have to have some knowledge of linear algebra to understand it. Simply put, a linear transformation is a matrix. And any matrix can be used to execute a linear transformation. When you multiply a vector with a matrix, the matrix is the linear transformation from the first vector, into the resulting vector. --220.127.116.11 (talk) 20:40, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
- Translation is not a linear transformation, as it does not preserve scalar multiplication of vectors and vector addition. This means that a n-D translation cannot be represented by a n-by-n matrix. See Transformation matrix#Uses. Paolo.dL (talk) 13:46, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
Other language links[edit]
The other language links lead to pages (e.g. in Russian, Ukrainian, French) which discuss change of basis matrices rather than general transformation matrices, although some of them go into 2D/3D graphics later on. Maybe the links should be changed accordingly? --ToastieIL (talk) 00:57, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
Homogeneous transformation matrix[edit]
4x4 transformation matrices containing 4-D homogeneous coordinates are widely used to perform non-linear (affine and projective) transformations of vectors in 3-D space. These transformations become linear when represented in 4-D, using homogeneous coordinates. The expression "homogeneous transformation matrix" is widely and rather conventionally used by many experts in computer graphics, robotics, biomechanics, to indicate these matrices. However, these matrices are used to perform transformations that are non-homogeneous in 3-D. They are frequently used, for instance, to represent roto-translation, a composition of translation and rotation. In this specific case, their proper name is, as suggested in the article, affine transformation matrices.
Since the misleading expression "homogeneous transformation matrix" is widely used, and the internal link Homogeneous transformation matrix redirects to Transformation matrix#Uses, I think it would be wise to shortly discuss it in the article.
Notice that all linear transformations are by definition "homogeneous", as they must preserve, by definition, the results of scalar multiplication (see homogeneous function):
On the contrary, a non-linear transformation may be non-homogeneous. Translation and roto-translation, for instance, are non-homogeneous.
NOTE : This topic was briefly discussed elsewhere.

ABOUT X-SHEARING[edit]
PLEASE TELL ME THE INBRIEF DESCRIPTION OF TH E X-SHEARIN G./................ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 15:04, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
History of..?[edit]
I e-searched in for some hot History of Transformation Matrices action; it's not above the fold! ~~Phlip 2014 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 22:52, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
Article content vs Computer science[edit]
I find it little bit confusing that all examples in this and related pages, even those talking about 2D/3D gaming applications, refer to affine matrices where translation coordinates appear on the 3rd column. This examples use a column vector to represent a point. However, in computer graphics, the 1st dimension is X, horizontal, thus 1-dimentional array is represented as a row vector. As a consequence, the translation values Tx and Ty actually are located in the 3rd row of affine matrix 3*3, NOT the 3rd column. This makes all the examples inapplicable to real-life computer graphics. See examples: Windows GDI, WPF and even MAC. The last link generally is platform-independent, about MP4 files. --2A02:1812:1110:C00:7C25:DF6D:3CD7:4C7F (talk) 22:00, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
Error in Examples in 3D Computer Graphics section[edit]
There is an obvious error in the section. The first subject there is Rotation. I can't be certain what the author meant by rotating an angle, but it is nonsense as presented.
The general rotation in 3D about an axis gives you a cone. If it is restricted to a given distance from the origin, then you have a circle. It is not possible to rotate a point in 3D into another point given a single angle without additional assumptions as to the direction of rotation. The same is true for the rotation of a line.18.104.22.168 (talk) 22:25, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

Definitions of Wool Types:
For the specific wool type that this product uses please refer to "Product Overview".
Premium Eco-Wool© (PEW) - Our famous blend sourced directly from about 20 family farms in Oregon & California, USA. It's the nicest wool we have ever seen- incredibly clean, dust free and virtually vegetable matter free. Growers participate in our Sustainable Wool Program, managing their flocks in a humane, chemical-free, and environmentally thoughtful manner. The vast majority of our products are built with this wool.
Organic Wool - When we cannot find a wool product in the PEW© blend we source 100% organic wool. This is used in our Woolley "Down" Pillows, Moisture Barrier and Puddle Pad products. It's grown in Australia, then milled in the USA.
Eco Wool© - A blend of wool still from our Sustainable Wool Program, but sourced from a different wool pool than the PEW©. We are able to obtain it at a lower price point which we pass onto you in savings. So, in a nutshell, the quality of the Eco-Wool© is slightly less than our top of the line PEW© blend and allows us to pass a savings on to you, our customers.
America's Wool - A blend of wool still from our Sustainable Wool Program, but again it is sourced from a different wool pool than than the PEW©. Quality is slightly less than our Eco-Wool©.
World Class Wool - We brought in 1 roll of this to see what it was like. Though it's not part of the Sustainable Wool Program, it does not have any chemicals, nor were pesticides & herbicides weren't used for the pastured sheep. This wool is from family farms in South America, Australia, New Zealand and Europe. Clean and dust-free, this is what most of the wool bedding industry uses. Less expensive so sold at a greater discount. Limited quantity.
This Product Also Uses The Following Materials:
Organic Cotton Sateen Fabric
Our organic cotton sateen has almost a liquid softness it. It's lightweight (4.5 oz/sq yd), with an approx. 300 thread count.

Our ReKindle Program was born from the scraps we began to accumulate as our business grew. Our Zero Waste philosophy demanded we find a use for the "tiny resources" we were creating.
Artists and craftspeople are hired to design and produce functional, beautiful and natural products from these "leftovers". Our featured crafter right now is Tiffany Korn with Heart Felt Woolies. She is an amazing artist whom we've known for over 17 years.
Most businesses would simply throw these materials away, but Holy Lamb Organics isn't like most businesses.
Our ReKindle Program:
- Minimizes waste and carbon footprint
- Creates new jobs for artists, craftspeople and designers
- Complies with our Zero Waste business philosophy
- Even the scraps from this program are employed, so nothing, not one shred or scrap is thrown away. Ever.

Natural wool is a timeless option for bedding. It's actually been used for centuries. Our grandmothers knew the many benefits that wool provides, now you do too.
Why Is Wool Bedding So Great?
Wool is the most breathable filling material available, making it both cool in the summer and warm in the winter. It actually helps to regulate your body temperature.
Wool is a natural material; something grown, not made in a lab. Your body knows the difference. Wool surpasses synthetic fill in terms of quality and durability.
Dust Mite Resistant
Wool is a great choice if dust mites bug you or if you're allergic. Dust mites can't live in wool due to microscopic bristles on the wool fibers.
Anti-Microbial & Anti-Bacterial
Amazingly, wool resists bacteria. It's actually both antimicrobial and antibacterial.
Naturally Fire Resistant
Wool is fire resistant, providing a safe sleeping environment. Wool does not catch on fire and actually acts as a natural fire retardant.
A Renewable Resource, From Sheep
Unlike bedding that uses plucked down feathers, a sheep grows a coat of wool annually and is not harmed during shearing (it's like getting a haircut).
Supports Small Farms And Farmers
Wool is a sustainable product and helps small farmers make a living.
Sustainable And Lasting
With proper care, your woollen bedding can last for decades.
It Stays In Place In Your Bedding
Wool batting, being one continuous piece, stays in place in our products and is hand-tufted to further secure it. This is unlike down bedding which shifts over time and creates bare spots in a comforter.
Certifications & Testing
Green America - Gold Certified Business since 2007
Green America is a national, non-profit founded in 1982. (They went by the name "Co-op America" until 2009). America's Green Business Certification ensures companies operate according to a "values-based" social enterprise according to principles of social justice and environmental sustainability. In addition, certified businesses must be environmentally responsible in the way they run their operations and facilities, and in how they source raw materials, manufacture products, and market them. The Gold certification is completed by the Green America Standards Committee through an independent review.
Holy Lamb Organics holds the Gold Certification
We have exceeded the operation standards, in addition to the standards - specific to the textile industry - for sourcing raw materials, manufacturing, and marketing our goods.
The IOAS is a non-profit certification organization dedicated to the integrity of eco label claims in the field of organic and sustainable agriculture, environmental management, social justice and fair trade.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Buffalo Bills receiver Stevie Johnson is scheduled to have what his agent calls ``very minor'' surgery to repair a groin injury that nagged the player for most of last season.
C.J. Laboy confirmed in an email that the surgery is scheduled to take place in Philadelphia on Tuesday. Johnson announced the news himself on his Twitter account, noting he wants to be 100 percent healthy heading into the season.
Laboy says the procedure was planned, and Johnson is expected to be ready for the start of a series of voluntary minicamps, which open May 29.
Johnson has been the Bills leading receiver the past two seasons. In March, he signed a five-year, $36.25 million contract extension.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Priced at $619.99 for Unlocked Octa-core Model
A Samsung Galaxy S4 unlocked octa-core model is now available on Newegg.com at a price of $619.99.
The site began taking orders for this device recently that packs the Exynos 5 Octa-core processor that can only be found in the international version of the device as the U.S. model packs a quad-core Snapdragon 800.
The only difference between the two models in terms of specs is the processor. This octa-core version comes with the same 5-inch 1080p Super AMOLED display, 2GB RAM, a 13-megapixel camera, a 2-megapixel front shooter, 16GB of internal storage, a microSD slot, and a 2,600 mAh battery. It also comes running Android 4.2.2, JellyBean out of the box. This model will also be incompatible with LTE networks.
The Galaxy S4 price dropped down to just $29 on AT&T earlier this month for those entering into a new contract.
Customers can purchase a 16GB "like new" or refurbished model for that fire sale price. The deal is available to existing and new customers and they can choose between the Black Mist and White Frost models.
Certified "like new" devices from AT&T are usually just as good as buying the smartphone brand new. The handsets are serviced and pass an inspection. The carrier also offers a 90-day warranty on these refurbished models so if anything goes wrong they have enough time to exchange it. A brand new Galaxy S4 normally retails for $199 for those purchasing the device with a two-year contract.
Sprint began offering the smartphone for just $99 with a new two-year contract last month.
The carrier is selling the wildly popular smartphone for this price to subscribers who are adding a new line or new customers signing a 2-year agreement.

ATHENS, Ga. -- For the first time in his seven years at Georgia, Mark Richt conducted his first bowl practice Thursday before learning where his No. 4 Bulldogs will play in a bowl.
The light workout was a good way to keep the players thinking of football during their first open week after completing their 10-2 regular season with last Saturday's 31-17 win over Georgia Tech.
It also was a good way to work off some nervous energy as the Bulldogs wait to learn Sunday if they'll be invited to the Orange, Fiesta or Rose bowls or possibly even have a chance to play in the national championship game.
The Bulldogs' national championship hopes rest on No. 9 Oklahoma beating No. 1 Missouri and Pittsburgh beating No. 2 West Virginia on Saturday. It might also help Georgia if No. 14 Tennessee upsets No. 5 Louisiana State in Saturday's Southeastern Conference championship game in Atlanta. There is speculation LSU could pass Georgia in the Top 25 if it claims an impressive victory over Tennessee. If Georgia falls one spot to No. 5 in the BCS standings on Sunday, it wouldn't be assured of a spot in a BCS bowl.
"There are Pittsburgh fans, Oklahoma fans, Tennessee fans on the team," said senior running back Kregg Lumpkin. "Maybe we will get that golden shot to play for the national championship."
Richt said he's curious to see how Saturday's games end. He said he won't watch all the games.
"It would be really fun to watch if we really knew what would happen," Richt said.
"The reality is we can watch all the football we want on Saturday and we still won't know the answer until they make decisions on Sunday."
Richt has said he would enjoy making his first visit to the Rose Bowl. He already has participated in the Orange and Fiesta bowls.
"I want to be sure everyone understands me, I know I will be excited about any opportunity given to us," Richt said. "It's just exciting to think about all the possibilities, and I know our players are the same way."
The players just know to expect a New Year's Day bowl as a reward for a 10-2 season.
"I think any bowl would be cool," said running back Knowshon Moreno.
"All three are real big bowls. The Orange Bowl in Miami would be warm weather, and the same thing in Pasadena. Any of the three would be great."
Said linebacker Marcus Howard: "Either way, the BCS is the BCS."
When asked his preference on Thursday, linebacker Dannell Ellerbe said: "It don't matter to me. I want to go to the bowl that gives the best gifts."
Richt acknowledged he was reluctant to schedule practices for Thursday and another practice for next week.
In past years he has had players involved in only running and weight-room workouts before the formal bowl practice schedule in mid-December, though he said he's always heard of other coaches opting for earlier starts.
"Other teams have done it," Richt said. "It's been brought up to me every year since I've been here. I didn't see a reason to do it."
Richt said the practice "is not going to be a lot," adding he doesn't agree with coaches who want to make the bowl practice schedule "another spring practice."
"My biggest desire is to be ready to win the bowl game," he said.
No matter what bowl that may be.
"I'm just thankful we are where we are," Richt said. "I'm going to feel the same way next week."
Notes: Senior receiver Sean Bailey had surgery Thursday to repair torn meniscus in his left knee, according to Richt. Bailey, the team's leading receiver, should be ready for the bowl game. "He'll be ready to go for sure after Christmas," Richt said. ... Moreno said he had no injury in the Georgia Tech game and Richt said the freshman had no limitation in Thursday's practice. After the Tech game, Richt said it appeared Moreno may have been bothered by a slight injury. ... Lumpkin, returning from knee surgery, said he had full medical clearance for Thursday's practice. ... Running back Thomas Brown had a dental appointment and missed the practice.

Respiratory Alterations of Acid-base Equilibrium: Acute and Chronic Renal Response

- How to Read a Study Record
Alterations of acid-base equilibrium are very common in critically ill patients. Thus, understanding their pathophysiology and the possible compensatory mechanisms acting in different organs may play an important role in better set the consequent clinical treatment. The lung and the kidney are the two principal actors of such regulations. Although the respiratory response to acid-base alterations is well understood, less information are available for what the renal system is concerned. Such lack of information is partially due to: 1) the historical consideration of the kidney as a "slow" organ, in response to variations in acid-base equilibrium; 2) the lack of a monitoring system to closely assess renal response.
Our group has recently developed a monitoring system aimed at analyzing, in a quasi-continuous and non-invasive manner (every 10 min) the urinary profile in terms of urinary pH and electrolyte concentrations (sodium, potassium, chloride, ammonium).
The investigators hypothesize that the renal system reacts to large as well as to minimal variations of the acid-base equilibrium (especially induced by a variation in the respiratory function) in a very fast way, modifying the urinary concentration (and therefore the urinary excretion) of ammonium and some electrolytes (especially chloride).

Primary Purpose: Basic Science
|Official Title:
|Respiratory Alterations of Acid-base Equilibrium: Acute and Chronic Renal Response
- Variations in urinary electrolyte concentrations and pH [ Time Frame: From 0 to 4 hours ]
|Study Start Date:
|February 2012
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|November 2015
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|November 2015 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Hyperventilation
Minute ventilation will be increased of about 30% of baseline value, through an increase in respiratory rate
Other: Increase minute ventilation
Respiratory rate will be increase in order to have a 30% increase of minute ventilation
Experimental: Hypoventilation
Minute ventilation will be decreased of about 30% of baseline value, through a decrease in respiratory rate
Other: Decrease minute ventilation
Respiratory rate will be decrease in order to have a 30% decrease of minute ventilation
Detailed Description:
Primary aim:
To investigate the acute renal response to respiratory alterations of acid-base equilibrium in order to better understand the underlying physiological mechanisms and to evaluate the validity of a renal monitoring system to indirectly assess the effectiveness of the respiratory function.
Secondary aim:
To collect data on the chronic response of the renal system in patients affected by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as well as on the acute response to acute variation of the chronic respiratory acidosis characterizing patients affected by COPD exacerbation.
Study protol:
Mechanically ventilated patients will undergo controlled variation of the ventilatory setting (hyperventilation vs. hypoventilation) in order to induce a controlled reduction or increase in arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (and an increase or reduction of arterial pH), within normal range of pH (7.35 - 7.45) During the variations, urinary concentrations of electrolytes and pH will be monitored.

The 4.5-magnitude tremblor struck as state officials shut down schools and warned islanders to brace for two storms heading west across the Pacific Ocean.
There were no reports of damage after the quake, which struck the north tip of the island, but the twin hurricanes have placed the entire state on flash flood watch.
Hurricane Iselle is due to arrive on the Big Island on Thursday evening, bringing heavy rains and winds gusting up to 85mph (135kph).
Hurricane Julio, meanwhile, swirled closely behind packing 105mph winds. It strengthened on Thursday to a category two storm.
Forecasters expect Julio to pass north of the Big Island some time this weekend, but it remains too far away to precisely predict its path and strength.
Hawaii Governor Neil Abercrombie, who has declared a state of emergency, said at a news conference on Thursday his state was ready for the hurricanes.
Residents have been warned of the potential for flash floods, mudslides and power cuts.
Mike Cantin, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said the Big Island's terrain would help lessen the hurricanes' impact.
"The volcanoes on the Big Island will do a number on the system," he said.
Residents nevertheless stocked up on basics, waiting in lines at supermarkets with carts full of bottled water, batteries and non-perishable food.
Others tried to get in some last-minute beach time before the rain.
Tourist Vlad Stamate, visiting from California, said the situation was "a little bit scary".
The last time Hawaii was hit with a tropical storm or hurricane was in 1992, when Hurricane Iniki killed six people and destroyed more than 1,400 homes in Kauai.
It has been a quiet hurricane season off the US and forecasters say there will be fewer storms in the Atlantic this year due to atmospheric and oceanic conditions.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration does, however, still expect between three and six hurricanes between now and mid-October.

England's striker problems for Euro 2012 have been dealt another setback with the news that Darren Bent could be out for three months with an injury that all but ends his chances of making the tournament.
Bent saw a specialist on Monday to ascertain the seriousness of the ankle injury he suffered in Aston Villa's draw at Wigan Athletic on Saturday and was told the best he could hope for was a 10-week lay-off. That will rule him out until the middle of May, making it unlikely he will play for Villa again this season but Bent has been told the likelihood is it will be longer and that there is a chance he may need an operation.
A Villa statement said: "He faces up to 12 weeks on the sidelines having ruptured ankle ligaments in his left foot and he is unlikely to play again this season."
With Wayne Rooney suspended for the first two games of Euro 2012, whoever takes over from Fabio Capello as the England manager, almost certainly Harry Redknapp, now faces a worrying shortage of strikers. Daniel Sturridge and Danny Welbeck, with only four substitute appearances for England between them, are expected to lead the attack against Holland at Wembley on Wednesday, with the uncapped Fraizer Campbell on the bench.
For Bent it threatens to be another huge disappointment in an England career that has already seen him left out of the last two World Cups despite being prominently involved in the qualifying stages.
The former Sunderland and Tottenham Hotspur striker will wear a protective boot for the next four weeks and has been told to give the injury complete rest for the next seven days. He will see the specialist again next Monday when the swelling goes down. The early scan results have revealed significant ligament damage and, if he has not played for Villa since the end of February, it is most unlikely he would be seen as important enough to risk in Poland and Ukraine.
England have only two friendlies after Holland to finalise their preparations, in Norway on 26 May and a Wembley game against Belgium on 2 June. Those friendlies will almost certainly be used to work on a new-look attack in the absence of Rooney, and the new manager will now take his pick from a pool including Peter Crouch, Jermain Defoe and Bobby Zamora.
Steven Gerrard's candidacy to regain the England captaincy has received a ringing endorsement from his club-mate, Stewart Downing, as the Liverpool midfielder prepares to make his first appearance for his country in 14 months against Holland. A succession of injuries nullified Gerrard's impact under Capello since the friendly against France in November 2010 but, despite playing extra time in Sunday's Carling Cup final victory over Cardiff City, the 31-year-old is expected to start against the Dutch. The interim manager, Stuart Pearce, will announce his choice as captain on Tuesday with Gerrard likely to be granted the honour.
That will find favour among the 21-man party and would see Gerrard leading the side out for the first time since 2010. John Terry was stripped of the armband as he waits to stand trial for racially abusing Anton Ferdinand. "Stevie is a big player for Liverpool and England," Downing said. "He is a great influence on players and drives teams on. If he is given the captaincy, that is a good thing. It is the manager's decision who he makes captain but Steven has done it for a few years and done it very well. If he is picked to do it for England again, I am sure he will carry that on as well."
Pearce's options were depleted further by the withdrawal of Tottenham's Kyle Walker with an ankle problem, the full-back joining Tom Cleverley, Bent and Rooney by remaining with his club. Of the players who did report to the team's training base, only 12 trained fully with the remainder undergoing warm-down and pool-work sessions after playing on Sunday. Gareth Barry will continue to be assessed following hamstring and back complaints.
There was an acknowledgement from James Milner, name-checked by Pearce as a potential future captain last week, that Capello's sudden resignation over the Terry issue had been untimely with England's opening Euro 2012 group game, against France in Donetsk, a little over three months away.
"The first thing is that it's not ideal timing changing the manager going into a major tournament but that's football," said the Manchester City midfielder, who was handed his debut by the Italian. "Things happen. The FA obviously thought that was the best thing to happen. But whoever is in charge in that tournament, we'll be ready. If Stuart Pearce took us in, he's got the experience as a player and manager to do that and would do a very good job."

I have the exact same problem. Any help?
Hello all, and happy New Year to everyone. I recently updated my wii hacks to try to bring it current, and I would love to run a system check to see if I have everything good. When I run syscheck 2.0 it freezes on IOS9, and when I try to download syscheck cfg from homebrew bowser, it downloads but says it is unable to save. I have 4.1u. Any help would be appreciated, I am not real up to date on all the jargon here, and I have searched the boards for a possible solution but am unable to find one that would fit based on my experience. Thanks.
I have the exact same problem. Any help?
Load dop-mii and scan wii internals.
Downloads - dop-mii - Project Hosting on Google Code
Post which IOS it freezes on. Then we can tell you which ios is corrupt then you can reinstall it.
4.2u Wii using-> [CFG Loader v65] [Mighty Channels] [WiiMC] [NES, Snes, Genesis] [FAT32 120gb WD Elements]
syscheck wont write a report if it freezes. IIRC Dop-mii scans backwards so you would need to reinstall IOS 22. You can use this guide to update all your IOS which would cover IOS 22. You can extract IOS 22 ONLY and install that wad using wad manager. Your choice...

Multiple corrupt IOS's? Perhaps a faulty multi installer?
An IOS should not be corrupt, I have never had one corrupted. How would someone get multiple corrupt IOS's. I downloaded 21 IOS's, a system menu and shop channel,from NUSD, none of them were corrupt. Then proceeded to install them with Wad Manager, still no corruption. I would think there is a problem if I downloaded multiple corrupt IOS's. Where are these corrupt IOS's coming from?

" Manufacturer: Osprey / Sports Type: Water Sports / Size: Adult "
* Prices may differ from that shown
The Osprey Aqua Shoes are, for me, essential beach wear for the Summer. Whether I go abroad or to the coast on a day trip I find that they are ideal whilst being around the water as they aremade from the waterproof Neoprene material used in the production of wetsuits. The shoes are very sturdy and come in a range of sizes, so they are comfortable and easy to slip on and off. There is an elasticated toggle on each shoe so that you can secure them firmly around your ankles - perfect for when you go out to sea! The Neoprene uppers are very stretchy and will therefore fit anybody with ease (as long as they are the correct size). They are available in shades of blue and white with a main black upper, and the soles are made from rubber which is both very durable and very light. The rubber soles also provide excellent grip on slippery surfaces, and their treaded surface ensures you won't be on your backside by the pool wearing these. On the heels they also have a tab of material to help you pull them on easily - overall a very well designed shoe. They don't rub - even when wet/sandy, and I have never had any problems with them in the comfort stakes.
Argos sell them for just £6.99 and they are well worth the cost. The fact that they are fitted shoes makes them appeal to those looking for a better fitted pair of shoes in the sense that they won't fall off due to being too big or too small etc. For me it is important to have shoes that fit and as I hate flipflops in general I find the Osprey Aqua shoes to be perfect for use at thre beach and by the pool. Due to their construction they are also great for wearing to the beach and also through the streets to and from the hotel, so they are multipurpose and mean you don't need to mess about keeping your 'best' shoes dry. I am more than happy to recommend the Osprey Aqua shoes for use during your holidays due to cost and obviously practicality, they are the complete beach footwear!
Last summer at the beach I ruined my favourite puma trainers in the sea at Hastings.
Ok, I was dashing after a four year old with no sense of danger who decided he wanted a swim, fully clothed.
He was fine, my trainers were not so lucky.
So this year I have invested in a pair of these rather funky looking aqua shoes,
We visit the south coast rather a lot, and most of the places that we visit are pebble beaches so from my point of view, some form of footwear is a prerequisite and these are ideal.
They have pimple soles that gives you good grip when clambering over rocks and also I would imagine, around the slippery perimeter of a swimming pool.
The upper is neoprene which is quick to dry after use and they are slip on with a toggle to make sure they are a snug fit. You don't want to loose one in the sea now do you?
For me though, the most impressive feature of these shoes is that they are lightweight but still remain hardwearing. I've already worn them on several occasions so far this year and have been impressed by how good they still look and feel. I take care to give them a good rinse when I'm done so they do not pong and also avoid drying them in direct sunlight as this would probably cause the colours to fade. Little effort really, to keep these shoes in great condition.
Colours available are blue, blue/black, red/navy & grey/black, so a good selection!
I'm happy to recommend these and have already purchased a pair for my wife, who prefers them to flip flops as she doesn't like getting sand between her toes.
Mine cost me £7 from a beach shop, which is a bargain as far as I'm concerned as my trainers usually cost a bit more than that!
5 Stars.
Thanks for reading,
Moon Out
Some of you may have looked at previous snorkelling related reviews I have done. One of these was on fins, which of course are intended to be worn only in the water. The other useful form of footwear when you are messing around near the water are these aqua shoes, which we both found invaluable accessories when we went to Egypt earlier this year.
We had bought these in blue/black (other two tone colour combinations available) reduced to only a fiver for our trip to The Maldives a few years ago but they had been seldom used given that everywhere we went there was sand. However, in many resorts, a pair of these will come in very handy when at the waterside. We knew that in Egypt most beach snorkelling takes place off a jetty so it was good to have these just to pull on, to walk over the beach to the jetty and to walk down what would otherwise have been an unbearably hot wooden planked surface. We laughed at the dance moves of a few folk who sought to negotiate this lengthy walk without any footwear (Oooh! Aaah! Oooh! Aaah! Aaah!). For many, the soles of our feet don't often see much use without shoes on, so the skin is very soft and tender. Anyone who has burnt their feet will know how much it hurts.
For shingle beaches, these are ideal in that they protect the feet from sharp shells and anything that may be hidden in the beach, like biting crabs! You can wear them when clambering over the rocks. Some places such as Malta have little but rocks at the seaside so again these would be invaluable.
If you have kids running around the poolside, as a parent you are bound to be worried about their falling and cracking open their skulls, so a pair of these will give the little terrors extra grip that should keep them on their feet. Again, sunbathing terraces can be hot and flip-flops aren't the best for running in, so these come into their own.
A key feature of these shoes is the quick-dry neoprene upper, so even if you have worn them in the water, they will soon dry off. They do get a bit bleached after a couple of years, but they are cheap enough even at full price to buy a new pair. They also have an adjustable toggle which can be used to ensure the shoes fit snugly around your foot. Best to tighten this a bit if you go in the water. Finally, a pull on tab at the heel will help you get them off and on.
Our pairs have now survived three holidays and we expect them to last at least a couple more.
They're cheap enough to get the whole family a pair - better than have the salt water ruin your designer trainers anyway.
When holiday time comes around and you find yourself sat beside a beautiful blue sea scape thoughts of diving in for a nice cool swim do tempt you. Last time we were away, we found that many of the beaches were very stoney and rocky. Although thats not a problem when you are sat on the beach sunning yourself, it is a problem when you try to make your way into the sea for a swim.
Some of the people we made friends with whilst away had these Osprey Aqua Shoes, that they wore to the beach instead of beach shoes. Upon asking where they bought them, they told us which shop stocked them nearby, so we hot footed it there to purchase some. When I wanted to review these I was surprised to see they were not listed, but after a few product suggestions, I can now share my thoughts with you about them.
The beauty of the Ospsrey Aqua Shoes is that they are able to be worn on both land and in water. They take the pain of having to walk bare footed to the waters edge away and coat your feet in a comforting light mix of materials. They are made of a neoprene and rubber mix, so are light and comfy when in use.
We bought ours in Euros, but I know that the shoes can be bought in the UK from many retailers and sell for around £6 to £7 per pair. I feel this is a very good price for them, as they are so comfy and handy to have when on holiday and are very light to pack in your suitcase. Its also cheaper to buy them before you go away, as we paid a little more for ours, closer to £10 per pair.
I think that the shoes look neat and tidy when you wear them. I know they are not the most stylish footwear you can buy, but they are made for practical purposes more than anything. They are much more suited to beach wear than flip flops, as you can keep these shoes on and go walking in the rock pools to explore your water side surroundings.
I don't think they look or feel bulky or ungainly when worn and are light enough to keep on when in the water. Whilst they don't offer too much extra support to the arches of your feet for long periods walking on flat ground, over all they still manage to feel comfy.
They have a nice textured rubber based sole to them, that offers plenty of grip as you make your way to the waters edge. I rather liked the texture of the rubber sole as it does offer good stability when wearing the shoe and gives a very light spongey feeling to them. We have them in blue and black and also grey and black, but I also saw them in black and orange too which looked nice.
The shoes have a slim corded detail around the top edge of the shoe and this has a small plastic toggle type fitting that you can use to tighten or loosen the fit of the shoe around your ankle. This is really useful and ensures you get a nice snug but comfy fit. It also means your aqua shoes stay on when in the water. There is also a small tag at the back edge of the shoe, which you can grip on to when putting the shoes on or taking them off.
The shoes are so easy to care for and wear that they are a joy to have. They can be easily rinsed off when you return from the beach and dry in the hot summer sun quickly enough to be re used the following day.
They really do offer decent protection from the bumps and knocks that you usually get from trying to get down stoney beaches into the water for a swim and so they get a full 5 star rating for being a very good little summer beach shoe. What they may lack in style they more than make up for in substance.

(CHK) said Friday that its Board of Directors has established a three-person Office of the Chairman while continuing its previously announced CEO search process with the assistance of Heidrick & Struggles. The Office of the Chairman includes: Archie Dunham, Non-Executive Chairman of the Board; Steven Dixon, who has been named Acting Chief Executive Officer in addition to his continuing role as Chief Operating Officer; and Domenic Dell'Osso Jr., Chief Financial Officer. As part of Chesapeake's previously announced succession plan, the members of the Office of the Chairman have been working closely to transition oversight of strategic, operational, and financial matters as well as certain day-to-day management responsibilities from Chief Executive Officer Aubrey McClendon, who has previously agreed with the Board to retire on April 1. Chesapeake has been under scrutiny from federal regulators and investors after McClendon was found to have taken loans of more than $1 billion from private equity firm EIG Global Energy Partners LLC, using his stake in the company's drilling wells that were obtained under a controversial program.The company, the second-largest natural gas producer in the U.S, has said that its extensive probe of alleged conflicts of interest involving McClendon has not revealed any improper conduct. by RTT Staff WriterFor comments and feedback: email@example.com News 6 Pharma Stocks In News Highway Robbery: 10 States With Highest Sales Tax 10 States With The Lowest Sales Tax

'Global warming isn't happening yet we spend billions to fix a non-existent problem'
Long term solution to energy prices is needed in NI
As a councillor, energy costs are an issue frequently raised with me by constituents. They're also one of the most frustrating.
On almost any other issue I can take action and at least try to get a resolution to people's problems, but the high fuel prices that are driving people into fuel poverty are worrying and beyond the reach of local politicians, be they councillors, MLAs or even our MPs
Last week, the Consumer Council revealed Northern Ireland has the highest level of fuel poverty in the UK, with consumers paying 60% more to heat and power their homes than in GB.
Many factors conspire to ensure local families will have to choose between heating and eating this winter. Our dependence upon heating oil is one. I've previously called for oil users to enjoy the same regulatory oversight as gas users.
The 'All Ireland Electricity Market' that the assembly has sleep walked us into is a disaster. Affordable electricity requires economies of scale, which no market of 6.5m people possesses.
We should unplug ourselves from the failed 'All Ireland' market and plug ourselves into the UK market of 65m instead. Our friends in the Republic of Ireland might even like to join us instead of adopting the present ourselves alone policy.
Looking ahead, so long as government pursues 'green' policies, things will get worse.
Global warming isn't happening - temperatures have gone nowhere for 20 years. Yet we continue to spend billions fixing a non-existent problem.
Wind power is a case in point. It's a blight on the landscape, it's eye-wateringly expensive and by the time it reaches our homes, it's arguably less 'green' than conventional electricity.
It would be wrong to tar all renewable technologies with the same brush. Solar, hydroelectric and heat pumps can make sense in the right circumstances. But the market is littered with technologies, which instead of saving the earth, cost it.
Green taxation and legislation aggravates matters further and impacts disproportionately upon those who can least afford it. The Climate Change Act, The Carbon Reduction Commitment and EU interference are costing us billions. By 2020, green charges and taxes will cost a typical UK household £620 a year.
UKIP believes that Northern Ireland residents should have the same opportunity to access competition among all the UK power providers.
Just recently, the Prime Minister advised consumers to change supplier to reduce their bills. While shopping around has much to commend it, a long-term solution will require us to change our politicians and government, not just our energy supplier.

I love you just the way you are
(after they buff that awful scar)
and laser the tattoos over your heart
I'm sure we're destined never to part
Remember to tuck up that cute
double chin
and put those buttocks back where
they'd been
Do ask about Lypo and
wax that moustache
and while you are at it get those teeth
that flash
A beautiful smile in no time they say
it Looks great and it seems such a small
price to pay
For love such as ours that
withstands any crisis
so while you are there just look
into the prices
of permanent lashes and
green contacts honey
and buy some new clothes
for it's well worth the money
a wig or a dye job will top
off the look
and get those new nails that
we saw in that book
I love you for you
but it's so plain to see
There's really a much better you
you can be
So call me next year
after all transformations
(I'm sure you'll exceed all of
my expectations)
Just fax me a photo
I'll show it with pride
But remember I love you
for the you that's inside!

Uncle Sam
Hard earned wages
Burned as income tax
Cash gone like blowing wind
Tax is not like sweet vermouth
This is just like pulling hen's tooth
Tax going up, paycheck going down
Tax man leave us alone—we need a break!

A strange sight upon a lonely road.
A dream ripped in half.
Looking closer, I wonder what was the travail.
An old price tag attached, making me wonder at what price it was sold.
Along the edges, tattered and torn, it gave forth an evil laugh.
As if some sly devil concocted a way to turn someone pale.
Onward I traveled, with pack upon my back.
To the left and right of the road were littered with more broken dreams.
So many that one could not keep track.
Some having been blown into the parallel stream.
So, I checked the pack upon my back.
And, yep all my dreams were there in a stack.
Cold winds howl, trying to rip my back pack to shreds.
Freezing were the winds, but forward I march.
Never losing sight of my dreams in spite of many dreads.
They all hold up strong even though many times I'm in a lurch.
Suddenly I see people returning to the road.
Going back and picking up their dreams.
Dusting them off and restoring them to their pack.
Each and every one said to me, you are quite bold.
To go forth and not let the cold winds of fate not destroy your knack.
To face life as it comes and not give up even if offered gold.
Good, bad fortune, are likewise of no importance.
Put a failed dream back in your pack and maybe a new day will appear.
Where you can unpack that dream and give it another go.
But, for today, march forward, today's failure might tomorrow's dance.
You gave it your best, and win or lose, that game has ended with a spear.
Win or lose, that game is done so pack it's knowledge away in your pack and grow.
Suddenly down the road a new vista appears and a brand new game.
Left high and dry or victorious are the two possible ends of any venture.
But in truth, knowledge is all you will have, win or lose.
For tomorrows game is just around the bend, all the same.
Win or lose, the game of life only ends for the moment within sight of the new adventure.
So, to quit and call it the end, only makes you look like a goose.

there across the wind
rides my silly pride
at times a sturdy arrow
at times a butterfly
how often i chose to follow
the path of the sturdy arrow
its landing was hard to find
however, when i chose to try
the path of the butterfly
never, was i too far behind

Temperature's hovering at 103
Very much too hot for me,
A/C busted, that's
plain to see...
Tenant's squawking
What can I do, let's see....
Stuck in the middle,
The owners just piddle
All I need is a sad fiddle
To accompany my misery
I didn't break it, this I swear,
And should some say so
They'd better take care,
I have my Panzer grenadieres
On full alert,
And it won't be waterguns
That they will squirt
So get a fan, take a cold bath,
Sleep on your patio,
Don't incur my wrath
Take a chill pill.....
Take two or three,
We'll get it fixed,
This I will see...
Not fun being the manager
Responsibility for everything,
Authority to do nothing,
Frustrations build quick,
Can make one quite sick
But, this too shall pass,
Another challenge will
take it's place
Cause this just is an
endless race.

What open display of arrogance!
Only fools would dare to chance
Do we know what tomorrow brings,
Just around and beyond the bend?
This desperation blinds you so,
And your mind in need of a mend
Such wasted time spent scavenging
The personal lives of others
Diligently searching for rotten fodder!
So much joy and pleasure you've found,
In this insatiable hunger for hate
Too far advanced that it'll not dissipate!
Self destruction, the path you are on,
Always conveyed by a toxic attraction
Darkness, misery your proud domain
But a house of dead fruit.. my disdain
Like children, playing games at being wise
You will learn, life tames and cuts to size!
So, show your "beautiful" colors,
Your elegant garb for the world to see
By day or night, light pierces the dark,
Truth is alive and forever will be!
A life of delusion is not worth a dime
The trail you leave is indicative by slime
Never far behind, there it goes! Watch it spew!
The name tag you wear plainly for all to view

It has come to my attention,
by way of the news,
everybody is talking,
corporations are singing the blues.
They don't have any money,
they blew all they had,
now they're calling on our government,
because their management is quiet bad.
CEO'S with salaries,
that would probably choke a horse,
and since the economy is getting bad,
they need more of course.
They fly their jets freely,
to every corner of the world,
wearing designer business suits,
sporting big diamonds, and pearls.
Eating at the restaurants,
where fancy is the course,
while begging for our money,
they want to take from the poor.
I find it very amusing,
the way they flaunt their stuff,
then act like nothing is wrong,
while tugging at the Rolex under their cuff.
I guess they really think,
we owe them all so much,
while most of us are skimping,
cutting back on spending, and such.
Maybe someone needs to show them,
how the poor have to live,
and we are all quiet broke,
and we don't have it to give.
Most live from payday to payday,
buying groceries, and gas,
while faulting on our mortgage,
those little checks just don't last.
I don't think it is right,
they can live the way they do,
spending like crazy,
then taking from me, and you.
Most have to struggle,
just to live from day to day,
and we can't get the help,
when we lose all our pay.
Rich man, Poor man, Beggar man, Thief,
what else do they want,
all I can say is,
Good Grief......

I met a Sheriff the other day.
Just teasing, I happened to say.
I am stopping by to pay my taxes.
Giving you my money before axes,
He said to me, "I get none of that money".
I looked up in surprise, and thought, how funny.
He and many others forget our taxes pay salaries.
They work for us and their duties are in galleries.
Without working people to pay taxes, they would not be.
They forget these things after office acquired you see.
They pump us up upon the Election Day's arrival.
Reinstatement in public office is part of survival.
We the people pay for their cars, meals, homes, indeed.
Our money than dispatched into the funds that do seed,
Without the people paying taxes, their jobs would recede.
We the people elect and pay wages, so justice will proceed.
However, many law officials take rules made for all.
Bending them to fit their need, in name of the law,
I have the utmost respect for officers on patrol.
They need to be cautious, to keep crime under control.
However, to break any law, for no reason at all, indeed.
Makes justice suffer, two wrongs make a misdeed,
Their pledge, for no reason at all to break their creed,
Serve and protect, without wrongdoing, as agreed.
An oath, I know they all take and so easily forget after.
Some upon that tomorrow, just ease back in laughter.

Morning coffee, read the paper, brush your teeth and make the bed
Start the car up, drive to work with endless chatter in your head.
Rhythm's just a decoy, really, structure faked for social poise
Must pretend, must feign an interest. Wouldn't want to lose the toys.
Just ignore the yearning, silly, only fools have dreams these days.
Shoulder to the grindstone, Buster, don't you know what really pays?
Over obligate yourself then hurry to the next event.
Don't take time for introspection, musings never paid the rent.
Reinforcing concrete walls with rebar to protect from storms.
Cyclones of emotion dashed to bits before reaction forms.
Hold her steady, make the grade, ignore distractions, toe the line
Numbness is a good sign, keep it up and soon you'll be just fine.
Can't afford admission to tonight's seductive shadow play.
Vulnerability and nakedness too high a price to pay.
Courage is for sissies, only children should be reckoned tears.
Safest bet's to keep pretending that you've conquered all your fears.

she works the streets for money,
through the night and through the day,
and helps out all the fellas,
who have money they can pay.
while dressed in lace and satin,
and a hip length mini skirt,
she really doesnt hide much,
in that see through gaping shirt.
when you've bought her service,
and she takes you by the hand,
you'll know that you are headed,
for that dream in promised land.
she'll show you things quite different,
and caress you nicely too,
but dont ever fall in love,
cause when times up so are you.
then she'll have herself a shower,
and get ready once again,
to stand back on the corner,
where her business has no end.
dont ever try to change them,
cause they really are astute,
you maybe never able,
to change a prostitute.

I was just trying to remember the past
trying to remember the good people
and the bad people,
that i came across on my way,
i want you to know
that you are among the good people
that left a good trace in my life,
once again i just want to say thank you
for passing through my life,
is so short but is wonderful
i want you here forever.

A stone so beautiful
The gem of gems
This carbon icon
A girls best friend
In many a place mined
All legal and right
To be marketable
To be pretty in sight
On our Jewellery do we wonder
Where ours come from
Is this splendid stone
From a war torn wrong
Most are credited
From a reliable source
But when it comes to money
Many mined by force
The Kimberley Process was put in place
To audit diamonds, and to trace
As for the many souls, who lose their lives
What a price to pay, for Blood Diamonds

Things seems to be very clear,
When actually felt it is unclear,
What really seems to be clear,
May never ever be clear for ever.
Your help for others,
May be to be appreciated,
Or taken as what is called,
to be uncounted.
My question is clear,
Why the help for others,
Is sometime never appreciated,
However it is always delivered.
In response to ethics,
lingers in my mind the answer,
To help others is not to be recognised,
But it is to be called someone,
Who can be respected.
To all, continue to help,
Not to to be appreciated by others,
But to be respected by yourself.

Staple diets tainted gray
still pesticides they spray
gallops horse of dapple grey
fourth beast say, "hell's to pay"
as life bubbles into shape
for human illusion's sake

Love in life is not a fake
Somber tones may meander
worldly concepts detest a new face
many old faces doth not erase
Love's face, by perdition's race

To be in a young America ~
visions of a ship upcoming statue of Liberty
the young lad holding tightly to his Mothers leg
in all excitement of a new Land to call their own
celebrations of apple pie and fireworks on the 4th of July
thoughts of the old Hollywood on screen
films without 3-D costing less then a dollar
Greta , Monroe , Betty Davis eyes tantalizing blue glare
The Wizard of Oz or books written by Steinbach, Capote, Mark Twain
exciting new visions of creating new concepts
before Capitalism bought all little ones to bigger
songs came from the hills of Virginia to the black Mountains
surfacing in Tennessee for all to hear and wish to see
The day when one travelled by car on the road travelled
every town a story told , learning history we once shed blood
American Indian tears to the British man whom choose freedom of taxes
Boston held a tea party , now wishing they threw out marmite instead
The day when we knew our neighbors and bought homes with a paystub
Everyone had a chance to make their own with pride , even through wars
When Martin Luther King stood proudly as did President Lincoln for Freedom
How many streets have been named after the man whom had a dream ?
When milk was delivered on doorsteps in Glass bottles
Babies wanting the very first of the top being cream
leaving doors open , watching news with your family at 6pm
cartoons were shut down and it was now grown up time
Cereal being a cheap snack for after school
school supplies costing twenty dollars
Grandma school clothes shopping for fifty
before the internet , cell phones , and text for hello ~
2 week Vacations not afraid to put up Camp
Christmas sold in December with the sentiment of Love not money
a day when if one were sick , you could actually get penicillin without question
The Doctor treated everything calling it General Practice no fear of Malpractice
Never forgetting our Motor city
Old Ford Trucks Chevrolets and Dodge
The city that brought Ottis Reding and Marvin Gaye
What happened to us ? Where did America Go ?

Still angry from revolutions long past
Greed wondered how long it would last
The occupy people have been asleep
Their eyes closed not making a peep
Now awaken they look at privation
Asking what's happen to their nation
Progress was not suppose to add more
For all of those who are money's whore
The plan was suppose to provide enough
For those struggling in life finding it tough
Wondering if it's too late to escape their fate
Revolution or Armageddon may be on the plate
Now for occupy to really develop and grow
They will need to find new ways not to owe

I'm worried where the next dollar will come from.
Will she ever arrive?
Will she ever show up?
But why am I worrying?
Stop it!
It's all in God's Great Hands!
It's all under God's control!
It's all within His plans!
It's all His
And He will provide
Because He is our Father!
He loves us!
It's all His!
Trust Him!
I know it's difficult;
He will not lead you wrong.
He knows where you need to go.
He knows what you need to endure.
It's all His plan.
It's all in His Hands!
Lay down your life;
Give the control.
He is in control!
Thank You Father!
Trust Him!
It will all be okay!
Trust Him!
Thank You God!
Thank You Jesus!
Thank You Holy Spirit!
I love You always!
I trust You always!
I trust You!
I trust You!
Yes, yes I do!
I trust You!

The stalls are set up
along the main street
a change from the normal
the local shop price they beat
Many come to have a look
looking for a bargain or two
hoping for something special
anything good would be brand new
Real good quality items
can be found if you look
you feel good with a bargain
success in anyone's book
All sorts are found there
shoes clothes even food
many a splendid thing
things to suit every mood
So support your market
make sure it will stay
for generations to come

I am out here on the strip.
Making men look at how I sway my hips.
I know many are in search of a relief (with)
No significant relationship in the mix.
No money
No sex
I have to take care of myself.
I am not just a piece ass out here.
Many I let pass by.
I am looking for the right guy,
In that I have a certain success rate on how I get paid.
The ones with the wife are always the smooth operators.
No money
No sex
I am not just a piece ass out here.
I am captivation of my existence.
Respite I felt, but then he stops to ask me was I available.
I said yes and asked what did he have planned.
His reply was a good time.
I smiled and these were my lines.

I said, "No." and I meant it.
There was a memo. You know I sent it.
No...it's not something you can deny
And I have no interest in hearing why.
Your read receipt's right here.
And the memo's meaning was quite clear.
Despite that memo, you failed to comply.

May life bless you with real freedom,
Keep enjoyment as your place,
May you find your own confidence,
From your education and your space;
May you entertain discernment,
Whilst fulfilling your desires,
And may platitude be rescinded,
By real love in your eyes.
May life be all it can be,
May your realities come from your dreams,
May your work become your eulogy,
And may your identity give your memes.
May you receive more than you give,
And see reason when there's none,
May your friends light your inside,
May you give hope to those with one;
May you save the exploited from oppression,
By making despair to you most personal,
And may equality be the standard,
For your repudiation of its dismissal.
May life be all it can be,
May your realities come from your dreams,
May your work become your eulogy,
And may your identity give your memes.
May you always uphold justice,
Even in dark and uncertain times,
When faced with honest requests,
And its unsettled times sometimes;
May you do what's right no problem,
Not questioning the strain,
Nor grumbling about the consequences,
Of morality's devoted love train.
May life be all it can be,
May your realities come from your dreams,
May your work become your eulogy,
And may your identity give your memes.
May your diamond be stalwart honour,
For war heroes old and injured,
Tormented by battlefields and sights,
Of the mangled and beleaguered;
May you testify to fact and truth,
And publish what you know;
And may reason be your sociology,
To dictatorial governments overthrow.
May life be all....
May you respect others in esteem,
For kindness and achievement,
May you follow those you understand,
As beautiful in accomplishment;
May you undertake endeavours,
Which ramify the other unstudied,
By embracing love and laughter,
As whispers of grace embodied.
May life be all...
May you always say what's inside,
Whilst giving other people a chance,
Trusting them with your memories,
That history upon which you cannot glance;
May you always speak your mind,
To make rationality your guide,
And in dignity confide and correct,
To let the delinquent within you abide.
May life be all...
May your philosophies be trophied,
As a garland by the lonely,
And may your way be warmly accepted,
Without negotiation or apology;
May righteousness be your hallmark,
And caring thought your attribution,
And may you prevail generally as a good person,
Bringing light where there's intrusion.

I Don't Care...
I don't care,
if you're battered black and blue,
I don't care,
just as long as I can drink and screw.
I don't care,
if you've lost your damn job,
I don't care,
you're just a kernel off the cob.
I don't care,

I don't care,

I don't care,
about the elderly, the poor, or the weak,
I don't care,
if the earth will be inherited by the meek.
I don't care,
if the climate is warming, I'm so much cooler,
I don't care,
in my penthouse I'm the boss, the only ruler.
I don't care,
for those rolling for scraps in the muck,
I don't care,
I really don't care, cos' I don't give a f**k

but says no to Satan 'cause
his soul is nailed down.

Who am I?
Am I defined by what is near in sight?
Am I defined by what I have done,
Or am I defined by what I could become?
Perhaps I'm of no use.
To him, or her, or I, nor you.
Or perhaps I'm too misunderstood to be defined,
And it is something like understanding that comes in time.
And if to the world I'm never shown,
Yet in my own light I've grown and grown,
And so I can know no happiness but my own--
The reason for my smile, to you, will forever be unknown.
I do not pray for the world to know my name.
For it and verse; the letters are the same.
And if a man should find his sorrow in what he reads,
I pray his pain my words to keep.
Should his eyes rain on my page,
Better tears than storms of rage.
And if a man should find his sorrow in what he reads.
I pray his pain my words to keep.
And if to the world you're never shown,
Yet in your own light you've grown and grown,
And so you know no happiness but your own.
Let the reason for your smile, to you, only be known.

A little more White Denim
White Denim played the ACL aftershow at the Mohawk. They were fantastic as usual. Not smiling as much as they usually do. But I was assured that were having a really good time. I guess it's OK that they weren't giggling through the whole set.
Ahhhhh….I heart them.
Unexpected, but I love it.
Beautiful designer wedding gown. Perfect hair, perfect flowers, decorations etc. Your standard beautiful everything at a beautiful wedding. Then out of nowhere, the bride whips out fingernail clippers right before walking down the aisle and takes care of business. She broke the mold. Love that.
Prep Time.
In case you missed it.
ACL post shows at The Mohawk were as frenzied as ever this year. I almost had my face smashed in while trying to shoot Art Brut on Friday night. But that's what you get for trying to shoot while drunken men are thrashing around. It's not as dangerous as it seems. Oh wait, YES IT IS. It's one of those: "but I'm just a girl" moments I experience on the rare occasion. Anyway, I bailed. But not before getting these shots. Those guys were NUTS.
Will & David's First Photo Shoot
These two came into the world a little early. They're three months old but technically one month because they were preemies. They were healthy little champions this morning during their first photo shoot. Good job, boys!!
Oooh….this must not be missed.
Kick off ACL Fest at the Mohawk. Why start Friday when you can start Thursday? This show is FREEEEEEEE.
Jake & Sage
These boys have made a couple of appearance in the portfolio through the years. You can see them on the website under "AGP Kids.' Jake is the perfect child to photograph. I think Sage might hate me right now with my big scary camera in his face. But we're working it out. It's always fun to photograph them.
