wikiHow to Make a Wire Swirly Double Heart Ring
With just some craft wire and pliers, you can make a beautiful double heart ring with a swirling pattern to wear yourself or give as a gift.
1Gather all supplies.
2Hold the wire from one end. Do not cut it from the bundle. Keep 6 cm of the wire straight on that end.
3Create a small loop on the wire from where the 6 cm ends.
4Circle the wire 2-3 times around that loop to create a swirly pattern.
5Make another loop adjacent to the created swirl, by winding the wire in the opposite direction of the previous one (see picture).
6Again circle the wire around the loop 2-3 times to create another swirl.
7Hold the straight parts together of the wire from both sides. Adjust them to make a heart shape.
8Coil the extra wire (6 cm) around the other straight part. Cut off extra if needed.
9Measure the straight part of the wire, including the wrapped end. Mark the ring size on the wire. Remember that the ring size should include the straight part and any one heart.
10For the second heart make the outer loop first. Make this loop from the marked part of the wire from.
11Carefully circle the wire inside that loop to create a swirly pattern.
12Flip the swirled wire horizontally. Make a small loop adjacent to the first swirly pattern of the second heart.
13Circle the wire around that loop 2-3 times to create a swirly pattern.
14Hold the straight parts of the wire together from both sides, adjust them to make a heart shape. Coil the wire around the wire below the swirly heart. Cut off wire from the bundle.
16Wear it and enjoy!

EEPROM features AES-CCM Authentication
Post a comment
An extension to Atmel's CryptoAuthentication family, the ATAES132 devices, offer secure data storage using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) authentication for industrial, consumer, computing and embedded applications with flexible key management features and secure counters. AES is a symmetric-key encryption standard adopted by governments and cryptographic experts around the world.
These security features are available in two devices compatible with standard serial EEPROMs, one supporting I2C and the other supporting SPI. This allows system developers to add security to existing systems without retooling their printed circuit board. This direct replacement can extend the life of a system's architecture by including security features within the hardware to make the system more secure than software implementations. The new secure devices also extend a current system's security into the future with the AES-CCM (AES in Counter and Cipher block chaining modes with message authentication code) authentication.
According to Atmel's cryptographic product line director, Kerry Maletsky, there is a void in the consumer, medical and computing sectors for increased security in microcontroller-based applications. These devices offer hardware protection for keys and data to help system developers integrate a higher level of trust in their system. This includes features like non-reversible monotonic counters and the ability to securely move keys on and off the chip, providing a level of system flexibility not previously available.
The Atmel ATAES132 development kits can be plugged into a variety of Atmel AVR or ARM-based development kits. Atmel states all ATAES132 devices support 2.5V to 5.5V supply voltages and consume less than 250nA standby/sleep current.

The Lost Tapes (DVD) by Buddy Rich
The Lost Tapes
is not just another big band performance on DVD. The project was planned, staged and recorded on an elaborately designed sound-stage. Recorded only two years before the leader's death, the master tapes were almost lost in a fire fifteen years ago. The recovered tape was meticulously restored to today's high standards.
Buddy Rich was among the finest drummers in the jazz idiom. While some fans, like this reviewer, preferred George Wettling's work with the 1937-38 Artie Shaw band, others fell for Rich's stormy performance on "Carioca" in 1939. That record is still considered a classic.
Buddy Rich went on to prove his worth with Bunny Berigan, Tommy Dorsey, Harry James, and Les Brown. His legendary performances with "Jazz At The Philharmonic" imprinted his artistry on fans of all stripes.
The Lost Tapes
features Rich leading a big band of four trumpets, three trombones, five reeds, piano and bass. It's a powerful and well-rehearsed outfit. The soloists are limited in number but not in talent. Pianist, Bill Cunliffe, ranges from delicate on "New Blues" to fiery on "Tee Bag." The latter piece is performed by the rhythm section alone. Written by Mike Mainieri, "Tee Bag" is pure delight and occurs at midpoint in the concert providing a nice change from the large orchestra. Cunliffe's solo is wonderful.
Another memorable track is "Round Midnight." Steve Marcus delivers the only solo on tenor and it's as imaginative as one would expect. Marcus spent 12 years with Buddy Rich and came from a solid background with Woody Herman, Stan Kenton and Larry Coryell. The colorful saxophonist passed away just weeks ago at his home in New Hope, Pa. He was 66.
The Rich band was noted for its version of "West Side Story" and it's the closer for the filmed concert. With a spectacular arrangement by Bill Reddie, Buddy Rich makes every effort to impress. He reaches deep into his bag of tricks and has a hypnotic effect on the audience. At times, his touch is almost inaudible as he delicately strokes the cymbals and delivers showers of subtle rim taps. Drummers will appreciate the clever photography as Rich's artistry is covered by cameras directly above, directly below and from several other angles. His equipment rests on a thick Plexiglas stage allowing an unusual and fascinating view from under the instrument. Perspiration drips constantly on the drumheads.
The DVD offers some bonus tracks allowing the viewer to play only the solos if desired. There are other tracks by the drummer's family members and some technical information on the staging of the concert. Every Buddy Rich fan should have a copy of
The Lost Tapes
. Highly recommended.

text: Disulfide bonds are covalent bonds formed post-translationally by the oxidation of a pair of cysteines. Disulfide bonds can greatly increase the stability of a protein and are primarily found in proteins that reside outside the chaperone rich protective environment of the cytoplasm (e.g. secreted peptides, hormones, antibodies, interferons, extracellular enzymes, etc). Disulfide bonds can also serve catalytic (e.g. oxidoreductases) and signaling roles (e.g. oxidative stress response). The redox state of the cytoplasm of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells is reducing due to the presence of numerous disulfide bond reductases (e.g. thioredoxins and glutaredoxins). As such, any disulfide bond formed between two cysteines will quickly and efficiently be reduced back to its thiolate state. To form stable disulfide bonds within proteins, disulfide bond formation is typically segregated to compartments outside of the reducing cytoplasm. In eukaryotes, disulfide bond formation is catalyzed by protein disulfide bond isomerase (PDI) in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), whereas in prokaryotes it is catalyzed by DsbA in the periplasm. An inherent problem in the process of disulfide bond formation is mis-pairing (mis-oxidation) of cysteines, which can cause misfolding, aggregation and ultimately result in low yields during protein production. Proteins that are mis-oxidized must be repaired and disulfide bonds must be shuffled back to their correctly oxidized native state. This is achieved by PDI in eukaryotes and DsbC by prokaryotes.

text: Hei all, there is now a free limited version of the app Bike Notes called Bike Notes Free available on App Store. This is an app I made to keep track of the maintenance I do on my bike, hopefully someday bikes. I am not a professional developer, just a biker who borrowed a mac from my employer to try to do this app. Current full version allows the user to set up eight service categories with different names and service intervals for each bike. Then when you do something to your bike you define a service with a status (miles/km/hours) on your bike and a comment under one of the eight service categories and that is stored on the phone along with the date that service was logged. You can also store other info on the bike like license number, insurance or whatever you want. You can then view what service is next and get a list of all the services you have done on your bike. The free version has a limit of one bike and two service categories and only stores the last two services in each category. The bike info can not be saved in that version as well as editing the service category names or intervals. if you have ideas on how to improve it you can post it on my facebook site facebook.com/bike.note the free version is here www.itunes.com/bikenotesfree and the full version is here www.itunes.com/bikenotes Check it out.

What Makes This Settlement Freeze Different From Any Other?
The consequence of the freeze will be a potentially violent conflict between settlers and police.
"One thing, at least, is emphatically different this time from all the previous rounds," said an Israel Defense Forces officer intimately who has been involved with the situation in the West Bank for over a decade.
"The political echelon has finally stopped winking. This is the first time we're receiving clear, detailed instructions on how to deal with building in the settlements," he said. "No one is trying to cut corners - instructions were given and we're operating according to them."
If he is right, the inevitable consequence will be a more heated, potentially violent conflict between security services and settlers. Opponents of the freeze have an interest in inflaming tempers to move a large number of protesters to join a demonstration planned for two days from now. They also need media noise - the more students of religious girls' seminaries dragged on the ground by masked police officers the better.
The distribution of freeze orders in the Gav-Havar outposts, which draw large numbers of ideologically heated settlers, is likely to meet violent resistance. There is also the potential "price tag" policy - of bringing violence and destruction upon nearby Palestinian villages.
Yesterday a house and vehicle went up in flames near Nablus. The army fears such acts will only grow more serious in the days to come. Shin Bet security service estimates point to a large segment of the so-called hilltop youth supporting this kind of violence.
Maj. Gen. (Res.) Amos Gilad, who yesterday handed the position of coordinator of government activities in the territories to Maj. Gen. Eitan Dangot, told participants at a conference marking the handover that the Civil Administration now stands before "an unprecedented [law] enforcement challenge."
Even the operational headquarters of the army's combat brigades are preparing an operation to implement the freeze; the Civil Administration is likely to lead the confrontation, while under police security. The army will soon have to increase its involvement, too. A broader distribution of orders - particularly the confiscation of goods and demolition of homes built in violation of the freeze - will meet rising opposition, demanding more bodies on the ground and troops potentially refusing to obey orders.
Meanwhile, the army and police are keeping a low profile. IDF Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi left this morning for the Far East, and other top brass are not talking to the media about the goings-on in the West Bank.
Four phenomena
The past week's events represented some interesting phenomena:
1. The army is taking a tougher tone. Last week new GOC Central Command Avi Mizrahi visited the pre-army preparatory program in the settlement of Eli. Eli is the mother of prep programs, not a hotbed of insubordination. Many a battalion and company commander are graduates, of whom the religious Zionist community is justly proud. While there, officers took a tough line against rabbis exhorting students to insubordination - no small thing in a place like Eli.
2. U.S. President Barack Obama has united the settlers. At the moment, the struggle against the freeze is being waged on both sides of the separation fence. Beit Aryeh, minutes from the Green Line, is taking a lead among the hardliners. America's demand for a comprehensive freeze has created, for the first time in a while, common ground between Beit Aryeh, Yitzhar and Migron. Settlers of all stripes have signed the High Court petition against the freeze.
3. Foundations have been laid. The past few months, in which the government delayed responding to pressure from Washington, gave the settlers time to organize. Because the date for the freeze was set in late November, great efforts were made to lay hundreds of housing units as facts on the ground. The missions seem to have worked - building continues in many such settlements, viewed as legitimate by the government and exempted from the freeze.
4. How long will the drought last? The recurring complaint last week, heard among regional council heads across the West Bank, was that the freeze was halting plans about to be carried out, plans supposedly already authorized. It's a surprising claim, as for years the settlers have complained of being "dried out" by the government, which they claimed wouldn't allow them to so much as enclose their balconies. If indeed all of the recent administrations, from Sharon to Olmert, "dried them out," then when exactly did these construction projects Netanyahu is trying to undermine actually spring up?

Columbus-based JTS & Co. Mortgage Brokers has opened a Reverse Mortgage Department headed by Ken Freshwater.
The firm is offering homeowners 62 years and older an opportunity to use the equity in their primary residence.
They agree to cede ownership of the house in exchange for regular payments that continue until their deaths.
The arrangement gives seniors "access to the equity in their homes, tax free, without the burden of additional monthly debt," the company says.

Reimage your Drive from Native IDE to Raid 0
The main points for this guide is to upgrade your installation of windows 7, from it being installed onto a single drive, to raid 0 array of 2 drives. My reason for this is that i had OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS Edition SATA III SSD 240GB, but i ran out of data space on this windows installation and i thought it was most wise to upgrade to raid 0 rather than buying a bigger SSD due to the performance increase.
More in-depth of my gear that may relate to this guide:
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit
Drives: OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS Edition SATA III SSD 240GB
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H
| 0 | 2 | 4 | 6 |
| 1 | 3 | 5 | 7 |
0 - 5 are blue ports that are SATA 3 6Gbps, which are controlled by ICH10R Southbridge and support RAID 0/1/5/10, you can configure the settings for these ports at the third setup screen at boot, and, to turn the raid on for these ports, go to integrated peripherals, OnChip SATA Controller: enabled, OnChip SATA Type: raid, OnChip SATA Port4/5 Type: same as Sata, OnChip SATA RAID5 Support: disabled
6 - 7 are white ones that are GSATA 2 3Gbps, which are controlled by two JMicron 322 storage processors and support RAID 0/1/JBOD, you can configure the settings for these ports at the second setup screen at boot is the raid setup utility, to turn the raid on for these ports, go to integrated peripherals, Onboard GSATA/IDE Ctrl: enabled, Onboard SATA/IDE Ctrl Mode: raid
1. First of all disconnect all Sata ports, connect the drive that we will backup, and the drive that we will backup to, to port 4, 5, because we will later enable ports 0, 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 to raid and if the drives were connected those ports, windows would've rebooted on "windows starting".
2. By default with this system raid is disabled, (if it isn't disable it then start the pc, keep pressing del to get into the bios, go to integrated peripherals
· OnChip Sata controller: enable
· OnChip Sata type: native ide
· OnChip Sata3.0 support: enable
· Onboard gSata/ide ctrl: enable
· Onboard Sata/ide ctrl mode: ide
press f10, press enter, reboot to windows, go to start, in the search box type regedit, press enter, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\, for the following list, click on the folder from the list, on the right, double click on start and change the parameter to the following:
· atapi Start = 3 (THIS IS IDE, HAVE IT ON 3 SINCE 3 MEANS OFF)
· iaStor = 3 (THIS IS INTEL RAID, HAVE IT ON 3 SINCE 3 MEANS OFF)
· iastorV Start = 0 (THIS IS WINDOWS RAID, HAVE IT ON 0 SINCE 0 MEANS ON)
· intelide Start = 3 (THIS IS IDE, HAVE IT ON 3 SINCE 3 MEANS OFF)
· msahci Start = 3 (THIS IS AHCI, HAVE IT ON 3 SINCE 3 MEANS OFF)
· pciide = 3 (THIS IS IDE, HAVE IT ON 3 SINCE 3 MEANS OFF)
once done go to file, exit, shut down the pc without force rebooting.
3. So the software side of raid is now manually configured, installed and all ports will read the drives if set to raid, so it's time to configure the hardware side of raid via the BIOS. Reboot, keep pressing del to get into the bios, go to integrated peripherals, and change to the following settings:
· OnChip Sata type: raid
1. This enables raid on ports 0, 1, 2, 3, but windows will not boot without the next settings like disabling raid5 and enabling raid on Onboard Sata
2. OnChip Sata port4/5 type: same as Sata
3. This enables raid on ports 4 and 5
4. OnChip Sata raid5 support: disable
5. This is necessary to disable otherwise window will not boot up
6. Onboard Sata/ide ctrl mode: raid/ide
7. This enables raid on ports 6 and 7 and makes the OnChip Sata controller let windows boot from the drives connected to those ports, if we don't set these settings then the pc will just keep on rebooting on "Windows Starting", but with raid5 disabled and Onboard Sata/ide ctrl correctly set up you can connect to all 8 ports and windows will boot up correctly
4. Raid is now setup on the software and hardware side
· Which means you won't get errors for example "say you connect CD/DVD drive to a raid configured port, that drive will encounter errors like when installing windows you will get an error saying: "a required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing..." or when your recovering a backup using Acronis "failed to read from sector 0 of hard disk 1", and other hard drives won't even be viewable)
So press f10, press enter, reboot to windows, once rebooted into windows, at the bottom right you can see a little green dot spinning, this is windows installing drivers for the raid controllers, once it's done it will ask you to restart, so click on restart now, once back in windows, give it 5 minutes to see if windows will install more drivers automatically, if not turn off the pc, disconnect all the Sata cables from the ports, and connect the drive we are going to back up to the blue port 0, the new SSD drive to port 1, the drive we are going to back up to, to port 2 and a CD/DVD drive to port 3, once again very necessary that we connect to the blue port as its Sata 3 which means its 6gps rather than the white port which is Sata 2 3gps, once done, turn the pc on, again check if windows installs drivers, if it does and asks you to reboot, do so, repeat until it doesn't install any more drives via windows
5. Once windows finished installing all controller and drive drives, it's time to make an image of the complete drive, so we will use Acronis True Image Home, you can download a free trial of the website which lets you use the program for free for 15 days, which is more than enough if you're using this guide, so install it, and once done, go to start > all programs > Acronis > Acronis True Image Home > Acronis True Image Home:
a. click on backup system, at the top right click on multiple systems selected
b. at further top right, click on click on switch to disk mode
c. check the source drive
d. in destination select the destination drive you want to write to
e. in the backup scheme, click on the blue hyperlink, in the backup method select full, at the bottom left check save the settings as default, click on the performance tab, in compression level click and drag to none, click on ok
f. click on backup now at the bottom right, this may take an hour or more
g. once done, click on the backup and recovery tab at the top, click on create bootable media, click on next, check everything, click on next twice, select your disc writer, click on next, put a compact disc into your disc writer, click on proceed, click on ok when done, make a note of the name, drive letter, model number, data size, of the source drive and the destination drive, close the program and shut down the pc.
6. Now that software, hardware raid is setup, windows drivers are installed, we have a backup image of the drive, and a bootable imaging software, were going to create the raid array. so start the pc, now there will be a boot bios screen, then raid setup utility, on that screen, and only then (don't tap as it won't work) ctrl + f, press 2 to enter ld view / ld define menu, press ctrl + c, to scroll through the selection press up or down, to change the parameter space, change raid mode to raid 0, for stripe block, the higher the number the faster performance for larger files, for example video games, videos, and so on, whilst smaller the number is for smaller files like text files, word and so on, now go down to the drive selection, press space to change the parameter to y, change to y to the drives you want in the array, press ctrl + y to save settings, then again, and change the name to whatever you want to call your new array/drive, press enter, press ctrl + y again to erase the master boot record of those disks, since we don't need it as were going to recover the drive image, press any key to use maximum capacity of the array, now you are done and can press esc to exit the setup, press esc then y to reboot.
7. Now to restore the image to the new array, disconnect all USB drives expect the mouse and keyboard, boot the pc and keep pressing 12 to enter boot menu, insert the compact disc in the disc writer, select CD-ROM, press enter, select Acronis True Image Home, press enter, in recover click on my disks, navigate to the recovery file, click on next, make sure recover whole disks and partitions are checked, click on next, check everything, check the drive we are going to recover to (the raid array), click on next, click on proceed, the programs drive should have increase the capacity to max and the active partition should be the system reserved one, check restart the computer when recovery is completed, once done and back in windows, eject the disk, windows may install drivers again, once it's done it will ask you to restart, so click on restart now, once back in windows, give it 5 minutes to see if windows will install more drivers automatically, if not turn off the pc, connect the rest of the drives to the Sata ports, now turn on the pc and keep pressing del to enter the bios, advanced bios features, hard disk boot priority, change the new raid array to the top, press f10, press y, press enter to reboot, now that your back in windows, windows may install drivers again, once it's done it will ask you to restart, so click on restart now, once back in windows, give it 5 minutes to see if windows will install more drivers automatically, if it doesn't, check that all the drives appear in my computer and are assigned the correct drive letter, if they are not, go to start, search, disk management, press enter, right click on each disk one by one at the bottom where the blue rows are, (excluding the raid array), change drive letter and path, click on remove, click on yes twice, repeat but this time add and assign the letter to the list above, including the CD/DVD drive, once done, reboot the pc.

He filled the NHL's toughest goaltending want ad, owns a bulldog, a boxer, rides a motorcycle and his brother is in the U.S. Marines.
He unnerves his own teammates with his pre-game rituals and rarely seems to smile behind his bushy playoff beard. So don't expect the threat of increased traffic from the Maple Leafs tomorrow night to rattle Robert Esche.
"Robert's in another world right now, just stopping pucks," Philadelphia Flyers coach Ken Hitchcock said, speaking for the man who only speaks after games. "Robert could be playing street hockey, he wouldn't care. In competitive environments here, such as table tennis and bubble hockey, he's the same. Table tennis games in here are full contact."
Esche, the talk of the series, which the Flyers lead 2-0, was his stoic self yesterday, prowling the Flyers practice rink in Voorhees, N.J. So Hitchcock fielded questions about the Leafs possibly targeting Esche's blue paint, which has worked so well for Philly against Ed Belfour in the series.
"It's the verbal diarrhea that goes with the playoffs," Hitchcock said. "We say 'you have to shoot, you have to have traffic, he can't stop what he can't see, blah, blah, blah'. Our team is saying the same thing. It's garbage in, garbage out.
"There's just a sense of traffic on the power play, which is what every team wants."
Esche lashed out, too, in Game 2 and was called, but as Hitchcock said after Esche's sixth win in seven playoff starts, he'll tolerate any personality quirks as long as he keeps back-stopping Flyer wins. Esche is a committed Ozzy Osbourne/Led Zeppelin fanatic, who lists his favourite scent as fresh-cut grass. The goalie's colourful mask has pictures of Kid Rock, Hank Williams Jr. and an American flag.
"He's just a low key guy who enjoys other things than hockey," Hitchcock said. "He is what he is. He's staying away from you folks, he's staying away from us and he just has his own down time. Sometimes when you're a goalie with no down time, it gets to be stressful. It's really the dumbest position in sports."
His teammates, numbed by the erratic play of predecessor Roman Cechmanek among others, are thrilled that a piece of their championship aspirations appears to be filled.
"There has still been goaltending talk, but in a much more positive light," Keith Primeau said. "We've been fortunate. We've had timely scoring, but you need to have solid goaltending. If he doesn't win you games, he has to win you periods and that's what he has done for us."
The Flyers took yesterday off, except for a team meeting, and will work out today before flying to Toronto.
"We've had the right save at the right time, scored the right power-play goal at the right time and preserved games in the last minute despite making a few mistakes," Hitchcock said. "We've played two teams (Leafs and New Jersey Devils) that were equal or better than us all year, but we just seem to be doing a few little things on the right side of that fine line. We certainly haven't dominated anyone."

Collecting Data for Change Over Time
Lesson 8 of 13
Objective: Students will be able to devise a way to consistently and safely measure growing seeds in order to track change over time.
Big Idea: Accurately measuring an item that is not a straight line is a new concept for students. Rather than tell them what to do, today we will explore ideas and create strategies together.
The question for today's lesson is "How do scientists decide what data to collect?"
As the students and I consider this together, I will engage them in thinking about what changes we expect as our seeds are germinating. What data could we gather each day?
I will listen for students to discuss that length will change, as well as how the plant looks. I will then guide them to consider length today. If students don't mention length, I will bring it into the conversation by showing several germinating seeds that began at the same time, but are different lengths.
Mini Lesson
To begin my modeling, I turn the student's attention to the work they did yesterday, which was to scientifically draw their 4 types of seeds.
Then we discuss what they think changes over time with these seeds. I remind them of the idea of different lengths, sizes, and growth rate and explain that today we will begin recording changes in length. I also mention that we need to think of the changes the a seed undergoes regarding its physical appearance.
Next, I model with students how to choose a seed and describe it with detail in the science journal. I also explain that they will need to determine a way to measure the length of the seed while keeping it safe and intact. As we discuss this, I "look a"t the tools on the science tray (rulers, string, measuring tape) and think aloud about how they might help me with these tasks.
I then ask the students to consider, with their partners, how they will gather all of this information. As well, I stress that when we work with living things, we have the obligation to be respectful (careful) of how we handle them.
Resources (3)
Active Engagement
As students work with their teams to describe and measure their germinating seeds, I will circulate and prompt them to consider why they are choosing to measure in the way they are. This is an important question, as I expect students will just think they need to measure the visual length of the germinating seed. I will be listening in to determine if they are considering the whole growth, even if it curves.
Aside from the science content in this lesson, there are several mathematical concepts being used, but not necessarily taught during the lesson. As the children work and show me there strategies, I will have to work to teach mini lessons along the way in regards to rounding to the closest unit, starting in the right place of the tool, and reporting out the measurements using units. All of this must be done in a helpful, immediate need, way so the scientists can continue their data gathering without being bogged down in too many "structured lessons".
Resources (2)
Close and Sharing
To close, I simply remind the students that we will need to use the same strategies to measure our seed growth over time. It will be important for us to use the same strategy in order to remain consistent in our data.

San Francisco, Sep 29 (IANS) Global software major Oracle has announced two new additions to its cloud platform for integration — a comprehensive set of integration services that enable users to quickly get on to on-premises and cloud-based applications.
The two new cloud services – "Oracle SOA Cloud" and "Oracle API Manager Cloud Services" – join its other iPaaS services, including "Oracle Integration Cloud" which was announced in June this year, the California-headquartered company said in a statement on Monday.
"The Oracle SOA Cloud and Oracle API Manager Cloud services enable our customers to provision integration and API management platforms for developers quickly and simplify administrative steps so they can accelerate innovation," said Amit Zavery, senior vice president of Oracle Cloud Platform.
Using the industry leading "Oracle SOA Suite" as its foundation, "Oracle SOA Cloud Service" is a comprehensive and unified cloud-based integration platform that is built for developers' diverse requirements.
It provides easy provisioning, simplified management, automated upgrades and the ability to easily scale out, enabling users to quickly develop and deploy Application programming interfaces (APIs) and integration projects to deliver innovative services faster.
Additionally, it supports hybrid integration with its deployment portability feature, enabling customers to easily migrate their integration platform from the cloud to on-premises and back again to support changing business requirements.
The portability feature is ideal for organisations that want to move their integration workloads to the cloud.
"Oracle's iPaaS portfolio, which now includes Oracle SOA Cloud Service and Oracle API Manager Cloud Service, meets various integration requirements and supports multiple use cases that today's competitive digital businesses need," noted Ravi Gade, senior director (IT Applications) at Calix, a supplier of telecommunications access equipment for service providers.
In June, Oracle expanded its cloud service offerings with an emphasis on iPaaS (platform-as-a-service) as it launched 24 new technologies aimed at leap-frogging over rival brands like Amazon, Microsoft and IBM.
"Oracle is growing really fast. We sold $426 million worth of business in SaaS (software-as-a-service) and PaaS last quarter, a 200 percent increase over the same quarter last year. That's an industry record," Oracle executive chairman Larry Ellison was quoted as saying.

Cannons firing, cymbals crashing and dozens of burly redcoats parading through downtown with torches. It must mean the beginning of the holiday season in St. Augustine.
Each year, the Christmas festivities get started off right in the Nation's Oldest City with an annual Christmas parade and a re-invasion of the city by the British.
This weekend features the British Nightwatch, a yearly event that brings soldiers in all their accoutrement to mark the period between 1763 to 1784 when the Spanish lost control of St. Augustine to the British. Re-enactors will set up an encampment at the Castillo de San Marcos for the public to get a look at life as a soldier during the brief 18th century British rule before the Spanish reclaimed the city. There will be musket and cannon firing demonstrations at the fort throughout the weekend.
The big event for the weekend, however, takes place Saturday night at 8 p.m. with the Grande Illumination. Re-creating one of the British colonial customs, re-enactors lead a torch light procession from Government House on the west end of the Plaza de la Constitucion. Always a popular event, it draws large crowds downtown to see the British soldiers march under the light of torch flame.

Saturday is also the St. Augustine Christmas parade, beginning on San Marco Avenue at 10 a.m. and marching down the bayfront and up Cathedral Street. The parade features local bands, floats from area organizations and an assortment of wild characters including Santa Claus. At 9 a.m., the Triple Rock Blues Band will perform in the Plaza de la Constitucion as a prelude to the parade. Following at noon, Santa will be in the plaza to pose with kids.
Also Saturday, from 6 to 9 p.m., is the annual Luminary Night at the St. Augustine Lighthouse and Museum.
On Sunday, the Garden Club of St. Augustine will sponsor the 32nd annual Christmas Tour of Homes. This year's theme is ''Preserving the Past -- Building the Future'' and will feature decorated houses from the past and the present. Admission is $12 per person, including tea. Tickets are from Whetstone's Chocolate Factory, Country Gingham Gifts, Sally's Roses and Anastasia Antiques. The tour is from 1 to 5 p.m. and tickets will be available on Sunday at the Garden Center on San Marco Avenue. For more information, call 794-5280 or 794-1171.
On Sunday at 7 p.m., the St. Augustine Community Orchestra will perform a Christmas concert at the Lightner Museum's Antique Mall. That event is free and open to the public.

These Ballad Beach poems are examples of Ballad poems about Beach. These are the best examples of Ballad Beach poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
If you don't find the poem you want here, try our incredible, super duper, all-knowing, advanced poem search engine.
My watch is broken, I can not wait for you to get here
The sun is heating,(I cannot believe) today, we're finally meeting.
I'm not quite sure how I'm gonna act or what I'm gonna say
But of one thing I'm sure, when you'll be in front of me, you'll take my breath away.
While I'm waiting, my mind is flying away
From the moment you'll get here, to the first move you'll make.
I just wish, this day to be perfect
I hope I'm ready for any unexpected events.
It's getting late and you're nowhere to be found
I'm getting all kinds of emotions, but is nothing I can do about..
The park is empty, looks like the rain is gonna arrive
I guess I should be going too, nothing makes me stay around.
Maybe you got stuck in traffic or you've just changed your mind,
Either way, I better go now, maybe we'll get to meet some other time..
And now my battery is dying, I have such a lucky day,
I don't think this day could get any better,
>>no 'eff!n' way!!<<
Where should I go now? to the hotel or to a pub?
I'll get me something to drink before Imma call it a nite.
I don't find my card key, guess I'm losing my mind..
Who the 'eff' are you 'my friend'?
Why do you have to honk so loud?
you: Hey!!!
me: Gosh, you scared me!
you: Where are you going? don't we have a date?
me: Hey, you're the one that got here late.
you: Yeah, I'm sorry. look, I've been running all the way...
me: Cool. I'm glad you came.
I'm starving. where you gonna take me?
you: well, since our picnic is ruined, thanks to the coming rain..
lemme take you to my favorite restaurant..
me: sounds great. OK.
While in the car, you've turned on the radio
And the silliest song was playing in the air
Smiling, you looked at me and started dancing
Gosh, you're amazing. (that's what I said)
We've got to the restaurant
It's getting pretty hot
No sign of the rain now
Guess she just changed her mind.
When I stepped inside
My favorite song was playing .. so loud
And once you've heard it, you took my hand in yours and smiled
you: Hey, this is our song since now!!
Since then I got this feeling, this awesome feeling inside
I'm with the right person and the nite has just begun
You're full of surprises, beautiful and kind
For me you are so special, I'll roll my dice tonight.
Next thing I know, we were back in the car
The music was playing loud, you were driving too far
The last stop we've made, was at the hotel I'm staying
You grabbed me in your arms and .. and then's when it started ... raining.
The weather gets colder, your hand is on my shoulder,
I ask you if you want to come and wait inside.
The fireplace is on, your clothes are on the stove
I bring you comfy clothes, while you're in the shower.
The rain is falling from the sky, the night is deep, looks black and white
I pour you a glass of wine while getting closer.
The electricity goes off, all of a sudden
We're in the dark, the music stops - I lit (up) a candle.
Looks like the rain has stopped now (or for the moment)
I pour you another glass of wine..
I touch your hand, you're grabbing mine
And pull me closer.
The last thing I remember, you were playing through my hair
I felt your (warm) breath down on my neck and I've kissed your shoulder
Slowly, you laid me down, on the floor, whispering something in my ear
Your fingers were walking down my spine, I've closed my eyes.. that's when we've kissed.
We've spent the night together, sleeping in each other arms
I was your blanket, you were my pillow - the dawn was coming fast.
I woke up and.. watching you sleeping
You found me smiling when you've opened your eyes.
Things went so fast - time was flying by
Only four days, until we say goodbye.
All the sand from the beach, the pictures framed in our minds
The scrambled eggs in the mornings, (all those) kisses (stolen) through the night.
While I'm counting the seconds, my mind is flying away
From the moment we've met, to the last thing you'll say.
I just wish, this day to last forever
I hope our story will never have an end.
In the airport, while waiting for our planes to come
Our silly love song was playing one more time
And once again, you took my hand in yours and smiled
That's when you've asked me, if I want to be ... your wife.

There is a house on the cliff's edge,
Around a quiet, unmarked shoreline
At night, the tide lifts high against a foggy moon
In the morning, gloomy clouds settle with the sea
At times, not even the birds are seen or heard
The house is left to nature's caress
Home-crafted seashell chimes sway and sing with the wind
Crushed sand dollars lie together on the back porch
The shells were once whole, collected by the former owners
Long gone are they now, smiling with the moon
The owners are the very sound of the ocean spray,
Striking the rocks, announcing the cool dawn of day
They are not the dark, empty rooms,
The rooms that nobody thinks of as they go about their lives
The quiet owners are long gone—thought of only by one
A stillborn legacy about as tiresome as the sun,
When the clouds crisp out its beams . . .
A seawater puddle is in the middle of the dining room
Nobody knows it sits there, sinking in the floorboards
It used to be a far larger puddle after a storm,
Stealthily leaking into the house
But now it is small—so small—and the boards are moist,
Moist with its only companion amongst the instilled silence
Nobody thinks of empty, abandoned rooms
Nobody remembers the former owners
They were not much for socials and gatherings
They always lived their quiet, happy lives
Without a care of the outside world,
Far from anybody's thought
Miles from the nearest home
Where the next generation comfortably lives
He never finished fixing that leak . . .
Sometimes the puddle gets bigger after other storms
And when it does, there is almost life there again
You can see the chandelier reflected on the unperturbed water
As a crystal dangles and falls from on high
The dark silence following the drop is as deep as thought . . .
Nobody thinks of empty, abandoned rooms
Nobody remembers the former owners
There is merely a house on the cliff's edge
Around a quiet, unmarked shoreline

I've got a tropical obsession
I think I'm losing my mind
I want to see my work day done
Go out and have some fun
And leave the city life behind.
I love the roar of the ocean
The smell of tanning lotion
A secluded beach somewhere
There are coconuts in the trees
With a warm and gentle breeze
And a flower in your hair.
I've got a tropical obsession
It's driving me up a wall
I want the palm trees and the shore
Blue skies and so much more
Oh God! I want it all
There's an island in the sea
I can hear it calling me
Saying come on home today
I'll bring my old beach chair
Plant it in the sand somewhere
And that's where I'm going to stay
I've got a tropical obsession
And I just can't set it free
On an island remote
In a little fishing boat
Is where I want to be.

Sweeping time under the carpet
Is a time consuming chore,
Like spring cleaning
My consciousness
Upon a shingle shore,
Or picking up the seconds
Strewn along the cutlass beach,
Where the moments linger sadly
Like a daydream out of reach.
Spending hours of contemplation
Where the forest meets the field,
Where the larks rise
From the meadow
Just before the day is sealed,
Can be such an exaltation
In the sheltered heights of time,
As elusive words come slowly
And create another rhyme.
Casting petals to the river
Throwing coins into the crowd,
Just two softly borne illusions
That the seasons have allowed,
In the nest of all creation
Where the eggs of time are hatched,
Moments flutter with emotion
Just before they are dispatched.
Then they twine with every minute
And the minutes turn to hours,
As the course of life is flowing
Through those changeless hanging bowers,
Then the hours cast their garment
At the ending of each day,
Like a wordless golden manuscript
With nothing more to say…

I wanted to put myself in a space occupied by happiness
Sweet embrace of the breeze felt in the sea side of Pahut Bongao near Sanga-sanga
Everyone is happy doing the ritual of Panulak Bala'
The month to throw misfortunes that Tausug believed
Beach full of dancing waves from the sea
Never limit the horizon of falling leaves of trees

As I stride on the soil of ecstasy
Feeling the winds of serenity
Making peace within my soul
Breathing by every second that I hold
While walking along the sands of gold
I leave behind a story to be told
With a beautiful feeling I'll never grow old
I walk the miles on the sands of gold
As my feet kiss the cold blue waves
I stretch my arms just to fly away
Closing my eyes with calmness I sway
Loosing track of every second by day
Looking up to the sky I hear the sounds,
The sounds of bees, the sounds of trees,
The sounds of the enthralling orchestral breeze
Hypnotising me with the sound of the deep blue sea
So I sit back and reflect on the soil of ecstasy
The soil of joy, the soil of peace,
The soil where I would love to be
The soil called Goa where my soul meets.

If we had ears to hear,
A tale of many a year-
Turtles travel, my dears,
Round the world all year.
What sights turtles do see,
Swimming the deep blue sea!
Turtles travel, my dears,
Round the world all year.
Turtles so clumsy on land,
In water, a graceful band.
Turtles travel, my dears,
Round the world all year.
Oh, I wish we had ears to hear,
Turtle tales over the years.
Turtles travel, my dears,
Round the world all year.

I am reminded of songs by the Beach Boys
who sang of idyllic summers
The city beaches are with
lifeguards to protect those in danger
The asphalt homeland
is filled with tourists
and I also note that there are youth
playing handball in the parks
Light from the sky beats down on the homeland
The masses of people in the city
are experiencing a heat wave
The water stations are open
So the people can drink deep
Everyone possible should drink deep
of the joys of summer in
what O.Henry called
"Baghdad on the Hudson"

Oooohh! You cruise to the beach.
You cruise to the sand.
You cruise all across this land.
Oooohh! And when it gets hot.
You find the right spot.
A spot with lots of shade.
Oooohh! And when it gets hot.
You find the right spot.
Where the water's clear and fresh.
Because Oooohh! It's a very, very, very hot day.
And the water just cools you down..
Cools you down..
Cools you down..
It's a very, very, very hot day.
And the water just cools you down.
Cools you down..
Cools you down..
Oooohh! You cruise to the Sun.
You join in on the fun.
View the desert along the way.
Oooohh! And when it gets hot.
You find the right spot.
A place to cool it down..
Oooohh! And when it gets hot.
You find the right spot.
An oasis near the sand.
Because Oooohh! It's a very, very, very hot day.
And the water just cools you down.
Cools you down..
Cools you down..
It's a very, very, very hot day.
And the water just cools you down..
Cools you down..
Cools you down..

Bad thoughts, self pity, self harm, it may seem harmless to you, but its not the answer to subdue your inner pain deep inside you.
To practice self love, true inner peace, is to be thankful for your God given gifts, you smile from inside out, to bring peace to others, when they around you are filled with darkness and doubt.
The image you see with your eyes is not the true scenery that really counts, for its always starts within deep in your heart. Actions speak louder than words. Show your true peace, beauty with only your arms and hands.
Practice Ahimsa, speak with the tongue, only of true love, for all living things and beings on this earth. Let us be neighbors, friends, what a peaceful wish to dream about, if you try looking at the heart, and not with your mind, for beauty within has no disguise..

Standing at the tavern door,eyes dark and brooding
Neath his floppy hat, stared into the crowded room,
A Raven flew from his shoulder settling in rafters high,
He smiled a sardonic smile and ordered a mug of ale.
All turned to look at this dark eyed traveller tall,
His leather boots dusty ,cloak trimmed with mud,
And from his belt around his coat hung a dirk long
No one thought to say a word they tried to look small.
Around the smoke filled room his gaze did wander
Settled on a crowd of rowdy sea going lads noisly
Drinking ale and rum and telling bawdy tales,
Just back from foreign voyage across the seven seas.
Within their midst a vision sat with a smirk on ruby lips
Long hair framed her face like waves of swelling sea,
Like kelpie mane, ran that hair ,her eyes like deep sea green,
And at once his dark eyes shone beneath that floppy hat.
The night wore on, the air grew warm, the raven fluffed his wings
From somewhere a shot rang out lodging in rafters deep,
Laughter raucous and shrill cut across the misty room,
Silence fell heavy among the gathered crowd.
He slowly turned his head in the direction of the rowdy lads
Dark eyes flashed as stepped towards where they sat,
As one they rose and laughed in his face,swords drawn,
In his hand a wooden staff and they laughed no more.
Faces stunned into disbelief at what they had seen,
Around his feet six men lay still blood seeping from their wounds,
He turned on his heel and slowly went through the door,
The Raven cawed, spread his wings as he flew out the door.
Standing by his horse the sea going beauty waited patiently,
She smiled as he approached with a swagger and dark eyes flash
He tipped his floppy hat and beckoned with outstretched hand,
She went to him in full embrace held him like a band.
They travelled the land, the sea faring beauty and the dark eyed man,
Their tale told throughout the fair sun kissed land,
From village to village and taverns where seafaring folk met,
The legend grew of the Dark Eyed traveller and his mermaid bride.

Poetic Lyrics By Thomas Lam Hsi
Billowing clouds...of...rainfall....puffing down...as a Winter blanket!
Winds...traded down...as...nomads...circling 'round...Island swells!
An ancient...lantern...an orb...of dispersed...graying...eyes!
Starry nights...in the midst of...receding...mid-night veils!
A sailor's dream...a beacon...of faceted-jewels...descending down...as an
Avalanche...of a blanketed...waterfall!
The gentle swaying...of a love song...as a symphony...between the trees...
And the wind!
The chant of aloha...an ancient land...of love...and legend!
Flowers...as a...misting rain...of glorious...and...varied...puffing clouds!
Rain-forests...cloaked admist...the trickling sounds...of pebbled-ebbing...
A cacophany...of feathered...flight...swaying as the silken hands...
Of the tender...billowing clouds!
Endless beauty...magnificient...to behold...a trail of legend...and lore!
White sand beaches...pitched sands...softened...by Pacific Island...swells!
A voyager's...storied discovery...of an ancient...royal land...of peace...and love!
From chalked...and hued...canyons...to bluish...green...waterfalls!
Emerald crystals...glisten-ing...under...foaming...tides!
The land of aloha...a dream...a lover...and a...friend!
Never...to leave...a heart of diamonds...and a...soul...to live forever!
My Hawaii...my...lover...of old...and...my children's...children...forever!
Poet's Own Notes:

Chill by beach of Pitas.
Rain comes in a heavy task.
Return home to a break.
Another night to medicate tired.
Thanks Allah we intend.
Well-intentioned we are blessed.
Preach in the village of Rungus.
The Maulud rejoiced.
Kota Marudu we go.
Still raining until while ago!

I met a man while walking
Along a deserted shore
Who tipped his cap and smiled at me
Then asked me what's the score
The score, I do not understand
I mumbled in reply
Then he walked along beside me
And said let me give it a try
You look like you are off the tracks
Of a line you have long since traveled
You step as if in a minefield
Of a life that has unraveled.
Did you lose a job, a wife, a kid
He asked with a knowing grin
I wondered did he read my mail
And where would I begin.
A job I spit out hastily
He responded with a shrug
Then asked what I was missing
Now that someone pulled the plug
As I stumbled for an answer
To what I missed the most
My mind was doing cartwheels
Being whipped from post to post.
The house, the kids tuition
A night of restful sleep
A place where I feel needed
With some promises to keep.
A place where you feel needed
He mumbled as he strolled
Then handed me some sea glass
Wrapped in a haze of gold.
It's not about where you came from
He said handing me the glass
Focus on tomorrow
Forget about the past.
You see life is about tomorrow
Not what you had before
Then he vanished in the morning mist
and I finally knew the score.

He joked with the nurse till her face, it turned red,
She laughed at those things that the old soldier said;
His barracks was a Veteran's Hospital bed.
His body was busted but his eyes were bright,
He told her his war stories every night,
She shaved him and she bathed him and she tucked him in tight.
From the Normandy Beach to the banks of the Rhine,
He fought in the front of an infantry line,
He got wounded twice but he struggled on through;
He's the man who won World War II.
He battled the bottle but he called it a truce,
His liver was pickled from too much abuse;
The doctor just shrugged and he said, "It's no use."
The nurse she sure missed him like she knew she would,
His jokes and his memories, they'd made her feel good…
His family, they said they'd have come if they could…
From the Normandy Beach to the banks of the Rhine,
He fought in the front of an infantry line,
He got wounded twice but he struggled on through:
He's the man who won World War II.

I have not seen this sea, which you
speak of so fondly every once in a while.
but I'd hear the slowed-down breathing,
the long pause
when you tell stories of old people
that died, of brave men that once
sailed with their boats
to cross vast continents
and trade,
and then sail again for home
where they'd find their wives and children
waiting for their return.
You are still out there sailing,
and I am here
hoping you'd reach home soon.
I know where that home is.
But you have to fight to get there.
I could wait for centuries
and be still until
you're home finally. Don't fret.
Sail, love, wherever that sea
with its raging current
takes you.
And when you reach shore,
You'll find me there standing,
waiting for you.

The boy scans the horizon looking into his soul
And the beauty of the waves as they roll
Sun sits just above the lowest cloud in the distance
Today there is no resistance
Breaking into a run for Neptune's playground
The beat against his board a familiar sound
Smiling to himself for the freedom he knows here
A break he sees the next one is clear
A few strokes and he stands guiding his board
Through the enchanting spray and the roar
A dolphin joins him on the wave their fun evident
A blessing of conjoining spirits now spent
A swell surges from the kiss of the tempest wind
Enraging the boys inner sin
Take hold of the reins Neptune he shouts
Again he braces for the watery bouts
The beach clears of visitors he makes his stand
Today I am no longer boy, but man
The companion sees his courage and swims near
Drowning is his inner fear
The crest of his wave broke only to rise again
Awaking the instincts within
He swims in front of his beast and stands proud
Turning his waist smartly to ride it out
He slips under the ripcurl entering the tunnel
A roar inside hint at disgruntled
The water closes in to seal him in
A chance to break him his back to end
Not quick enough he thinks to himself
As he races back to the beach in health

The earth is a truly incredible place,
but its environment is taken for granted.
The natural beauty of seas and forests are beyond compare,
and yet we continue to pollute and corrupt them.
We depend on our environment for our very existence,
while all the while we continue to destroy it for materialistic gain.
Humanity wishes to thrive, we need to learn to protect,
and embrace this planet and not work against it.
The plants in the highland give us fresh air to inhale,
robbed of her very own-her plants, her animals, her gems,
Seabirds circle above the darkened water,
beholding the water's repelling betrayal.
We no longer listen to what the earth,
its atmospheric phenomena and all its living forms,
its mountains ,rain, wind and valleys,
and all the flora and fauna of the planet are telling us.

was a journey
of heart and soul and body.
A place of such beauty
and yet my mind longed for more......
I asked not to be moved from my home
but the father of my children did it all.
That's how I got so far away.
I protested
but in the end, money won
and I hadn't any.
So, I adapted
as women do
and bonded with trees and shells and water.
The speed of life was slower
yet I wasn't.
It felt wrong, incongruous even.
I tolerated
as women do
and piled on warm things in the weather
shivered at my table.
Nothing smelled right here,
I longed for saltwater, sand and sunny days
I hoped
as women do
and cast prayers upon the waterways
stood upon my deck and asked of the moon
Please take me away
feed my mind, care for my body and soul
Let there be a way.....
A way has come and I'm going soon
to the land of sand and sunshine
to salten air and long walks
and surfer boys with boards again
I'm grateful for lessons learned, but boy am I ready. Let it be good this time.

Ever long we stare to the East
The waters dance with glee.
Alluring at the very least
This symphony may be.
We watch those who know this beauty
And those who seek Her cheer,
We watch those who know such bounty
Yet nigh do these folk fear
That this dance be a siren call
A cruel temptress awaits.
Such cacophony nigh to stall
Virgin people from cold fate
For though Her waters can caress
Enveloped in her folds,
Some foolish bathers are remiss
In the power that She holds.
Hark! To arms! Victims call, 'Distress!'
This sound we dread to hear,
"Go now! Repulse death's harsh egress,"
As there is ceaseless fear
That there will be tragic failure
An agile step misplaced,
That the Ocean will call once more,
With smothering embrace.
And so we navigate her waves
The pounding force beware,
The mouth of the Devil himself
Comes here-forth to ensnare.
"Onward, dauntless brothers!" we hear,
"Against the waves we go,
For there is one who was swallowed
Fight for his life so!"
Into the mounting fray we dive,
Against the rising swell.
Now such ranks form to hunt for him
And pull from water'd hell.
Mercilessly, cruel time crawls forth
As lungs begin to burn,
Our hope wilts as it comes to pass
The point of no return.
Yet nigh will we ever desist,
We will reclaim this man.
Duty burns as Sun o'erhead
To bear him back to land.
Near the shore a whistle blasts thrice,
Do I dare to believe?
The call of a search successful,
A body they start to heave.
Hold for his life dearest brothers
Though the water crash down!
It is in obstinate resolve
That you earned your renown.
Hold steadfast, continue the watch
Arrogant creatures we,
To think our meager lives our own,
They belong to the sea.

Poetic Lyrics By The Royal Ohana of Kealoha
Billowing clouds of rainfall...puffing down...as a...warm Winter blanket.
Winds...traded down...as...nomads...circling 'round...Isle swells!
Emerald crystals...glisten-ing...under...foaming tides.
Starry nights...in the midst of...receding...mid-night veils!
I love the island.
Island is no man.
When peace is none.
Beautiful island.
With beach.
And white sand.
Before I don't feel the fear.
Fearsome here.
Fearsome there.
Fearsome tell.
Old business dear.
Trade with with slavery.
That's only history.
Shouldn't happen today.
Tomorrow would be great easy.
No abduction.
Fearsome no more.
I love you peace.
Layag Sug!
Daira Semporna
I would like that I walked on a forgotten beach
away from all of what is seen of me
where-as is the sound of peaceful water's upon my feet
and beneath
the warm softness of the sand therewith to comfort me
as the Enlightenment of a cool tropical breeze
A flowing bouquet of fragrance's dances about me
for there-by the ocean with the beauty of it's coral reefs
and crashing surf she cradles me up-on her golden shores
and by the waves of the motion of the tides
rocks me as a babe singing sweet lullaby's
there forever more
so the day adheres unto the approching night
as a beautiful sunset time has arrived only to recede
like a blazing torch sinks into the sea
only but to unveil the celestial magesty of the heavenly's
Oh what an Inspiration the joyest celebration of a delightful thought
then perhaps what my heart longeth for
has't found
what it dearly sought

I'm down by the sea
With my baby
Rubbing suntan lotion
Along the curvatures of her body
I feel my palms aching to touch her
And feel her energy
"Put a little cream on my shoulders, honey," she whispered so tenderly
Her shape was like a wave on the ocean
Her skin was so divine
She had the sweetest looking hump that rose up from behind
I'm down by the sea
With my baby
Rubbing suntan lotion
Along the curvatures of her body
When she laid on her back
I nearly had a heart attack
My eyes were fixed in a gaze
My hands started moving around to investigate
There were hills and valleys along the way
Suddenly I heard her say, "Put some cream on my legs darling"
And I obeyed
I'm down by the sea
With my baby
Rubbing suntan lotion
Along the curvatures of her body

Oh, I'm Rithee Rithwando
And I live in a condo
On a beach called Redondo
With a girl who's bleach blondo.
And we practice Tae Kwon Do
As we're singing in Rondo
With Don Hector Elizondo
Whom we're very, very fondo.
And he once asked me, "Cuando
"Can you post bail bondo,
"For I'm stuck in Orlondo
"And I cannot abscondo."
"When you give me your Hondo
"Whose top speed is beyondo,"
So sez I to Hectorondo
From the sands of blue Redondo.
"Oye! Not for il mondo
"Or el mejor magic wando
"Would I give you my Hondo,"
Replied Mister Elizondo.
"See you next year," I told him.

Hush the silence, hurt the ignorance,
Hurt in the silence, hushed by your loud heartbeat,
I couldn't fight for you, I wasn't strong enough,
You left me no choice, you pushed me away and pulled someone else close,
Now you want us back but you don't mean it,
Never did. And call me a fool for believing you and my feeble old heart,
Muted by my defeat, a war erupted within and a losing loser I limped away,
The breath of life, never tasted sweet anymore,
I drank to much of you and it turned poison ,
Flowing through my system it ossified my already broken spirit ,
Now the only feeling I have left to converse with is suadade,
But she soon changed her face and I got introduced to fury,
I always felt anger banging at my door, but never paid him mind at all,
But the incessant ringing of a lost war echoing in my ear drums every time you spoke,
Broken me, awakened as slumbering danger with in,
You annihilated the chance for any happiness we could've had,
Now its nothing more than broken smithereens of a future I had so much faith in,
Millions of shards protrude from this heart that beat so faithfully never missing a beat,
But you came around and I got stuck in time, I try to memorize every aspect of you,
But I can't. You already fading from view, a speck in a blurred out photography,
The perfect lasted only for a moment, thats all.
A moment of a lifetime I wanted to share with you,
But it wasn't meant to be, we weren't made to last,
You disrupted the flow of gravity within my universe,
I got carried away, mesmerized by your silver tounge, Inretrospect a shiny danger aimed at my heart,
It wasn'nt to long, plunge you did and I felt it,
Dangerously I hanged precariously from the edge,
The pain gnawed it's way into a already broken me,
What little dreams I had brought nothing but nightmarish revelation of his lips on yours,
The harmony we had, was lost forever.
The silence gouged at my heart, I didnt put up a fight; but my heart gave in freely.
The blood on my hands are testaments to how you obliterated my heart,
Love wouldn't stay so it burrowed it's way out of my heart and left me standing at a precipice called madness,
I dove right in, praying that the past would hold some comfort for my longing broken heart,
Wishing for eternity to grant us passage, but the road we trodded lay in destitute,
The sun set on that part of forever, a forever that would never return,
Now a tarnished man, I roam these desolate corridors of damned loveless hearts.

Might do a QotSA ranking in a couple of weeks, after I feel I've jammed 'em enough to carry out the task.
I just ranked them. The only problem I see with my list is the placement of Songs For The Deaf, but that album has a little too much filler for me.
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffJust commented on the ranking. I need to listen to SftD a bit more, but I'd say 1 or 2 songs on there might be skippable.
Walkin' on the Sidewalks has a real Nirvana feel to me -- like something they'd do off Incesticide maybe
I was driving high to this album last night and I had "The Bronze" so fucking loud I'm surprised my speakers haven't fizzled out.
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffNeed to hear this again soon.
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffAlbum is sweet.

Here are a couple of misconceptions about Gorilla Glass and it's scratch resistance (source links below).
Misconception 1: Gorilla Glass does not scratch???!?!?!?!?!?
Absolutely FALSE. While it's true that Gorilla Glass is scratch resistant to many materials, some will scratch Gorilla Glass. Gorilla Glass is reported to have a hardness of 7 (some say it is as high as 9. I've reached out to Corning for their "official" value, since they only use Vickers to measure hardness) in the Mohs scale, so any material with higher hardness, such as sand, diamond, or other minerals , will scratch your screen.
So, if you drop your phone, and if it happens to land on a grain of sand, it will scratch your Gorilla Glass screen. Or, if a grain a sand goes into your pocket where you keep your phone, then the screen may be scratched.
To those who didn't learn hardness scale in elementary school: materials with lower hardness than 7, such as steel knife, coins, or car keys, will never be able to scratch Gorilla Glass no matter how POINTY and SHARP it is. You can shatter the glass using a steel knife with enough force, but you cannot scratch it.
Misconception 2: The oleophobic coating, not the glass itself, is what's causing the scratches, so use sand paper to grind the coating away!!!!!!!!!
DON'T!. According to Corning's own documents (link below), the anti-brasion/oleophobic coating on the Gorilla Glass actually provides better scratch resistance than "naked" glass surface.
Corning performed an experiment where half of the Gorilla glass was treated with the coating and the other half was naked Gorilla Glass, and they rubbed silicon carbide sand paper on it. You can see the resulting picture on the link below. To use their words, there was a "significant scratching on the non-coated region whereas few visible scratches existed on the coating".
If you already have scratches on your Gorilla Glass screen, then it would've been worse had the coating not been there.
I hope that clears up.
