The mellifluous musical tones of the village bells
Echoing chimes over the cold snowcapped mountains
Both finding their way to people in the valley below
Christmas songs — let your spirit sing freely and loudly
Welcoming the Birth of Our Savior and Baby King
Who so charms the Angels on High and God Himself
On this night, The Star was so beautiful, clear, and shiny
Crisp and so crystal-bright, centered above and beyond
Reflecting now the Lord God's most divine and holy light
There is real magic in the night air as Heaven rejoices aloud
The child and the infant's divine soul breathe life now intently
Fulfilling truly God's very promise and His hope to Mankind
Keep this Christmas spirit — share it with others near and far
Grace filled with good tidings as we dance on wings of joy
We all now celebrate in great happiness, love, and kindness
Christmas is forever — and you must never ever close this door
Faith always enters, carrying His guiding torch high and proud
And encouraging Man every step of the way on his long journey
Even in a simple cradle where the Baby Jesus so innocently lay
Heaven doth bathe His cradle with the warmest rays of divine light
Bespeaking the heavenly beauty, joy, and wonder of Our Savior
Amazing peace makes a lovely gift, I wish for all of us to have
As new life blossoms, wrapped in petals of an immaculate heart
God's holy blessing, love, and intention are clear for all to see
That Holy Night the Angels entire sang mirthfully on Christmas Eve
Praising Almighty Lord God in Heaven on the birth of His only son
The Angels' paeans echoed in their divine beauty across the Universe
To bring peace now, glowing with your love, is His divine intention
Rejoicing in God's Greatest Gift to Mankind who was born in a manger
Destined to become Our Most Holy and Divine Savior — Amen! Amen!

In Galilee, his voice was heard.
In Nazareth, he rested his spirit.
Cana is where he was first miraculous.
In Galilee, the crowds were like a flock of sheep.
But his crucifixion in Judea defeated their image.
My beloved Jesus knew his faith.
At the last supper, he told his disciples about his last days.
Oh Lord of greatness
How they hung you on the cross
Arms stretched to the limit
Not mindful (of it) at all.
The people of Galilee embraced your ministry.
In Judea, they crowded to witness your crucifixion.
Your mother cried out but
She knew that you were seeking your crown.
In Heaven, you reside.
You were raised from the dead.
Lord Jesus, you will meet your disciples once again.
Your resurrection was angelical.
An angel appeared to your disciples.
They were informed of your forgoing.
In Galilee, as promised, they would see you once more.
The prophecy of the birth of Christ is destiny that forfeited his life.

Bob had been a lonely man ever since
His wife of fifty years had passed.
"Lord, let me join her." he would pray.
"Let this day be my last."
Each day, he went to the cemetery,
Just a short walk down the street.
After their talk, he would water her flowers
And hear passers-by whisper, "How sweet."
One gray and misty morning,
He had hoped for sunnier skies
To plant fall bloomers at her graveside;
But there, to his surprise…
Stood an old dog beside her stone;
Thin and dirty, but he struck a handsome pose.
He whined as Bob approached, as if to say,
"I could use a friend, you know."
He sat calmly as Bob planted flowers,
Carefully sniffing each one Bob put in place.
After the last one was planted, he sniffed it;
Then turned and licked Bob's face.
Bob smiled. "I had a dog when I was young…
Pal…he was a mighty good one too.
So, if you don't mind old fella,
That's what I'll call you."
Pal may have been an old dog,
But he was smart and handsome in his way;
So they made a deal, Bob would give him a meal
And a bath, if he decided to stay.
Pal loved his bath, then rolled in the grass.
He slept on a blanket in the den.
In the night, he dragged it next to Bob's bed.
He intended to be Bob's best friend.
Pal was such a good dog, housebroken too;
Never made a mess or got in trouble.
He knew about newspapers, slippers and Frisbees;
And when Bob called, he'd come on the double.
Yes, Pal gave Bob's life new purpose.
A special bond of friendship was cast.
And never again did Bob pray,
"Lord, let this day be my last."
For twelve years, the very best of friends,
Together night and day;
And so it was, until one evening,
Pal quietly passed away.
Bob held Pal in his arms and wept.
"Oh, Pal…my best friend…you saved my life."
He caressed Pal as he reminisced;
Then, sometime in the night, Bob joined his wife.
The next morning, an old woman,
Tears welling in her sad and lonely eyes,
Brought fresh flowers to her husband's grave;
But there, to her surprise….
Stood an old dog beside the stone,
Thin an dirty, but he struck a handsome pose.
He whined as she approached, as if to say,
"I could use a friend, you know."
He sat calmly as she took old flowers
And put fresh ones in their place.
He carefully sniffed the fresh ones,
Then, turned and licked her face.
She smiled through her tears.
"I had a dog when I was young...
A good one too. His name was Pal."

someone always told me this with tears in her eyes...
(for Lata Sethi's late-mother, who was my mother's 'sister' and who took us all into her heart, and for Lata and Ravi Sethi of Defence Colony, New Delhi)
a wife left South Africa in the 1960's to join her husband
who was in exile at the time...
in 1970 the husband was sent by the African National Congress to India to be its representative there...
the husband and wife spent two years in Bombay...
one afternoon the husband fell and broke his leg...
the wife knocked on their neighbour's door, in an apartment complex in Bombay
the neighbour was an old Punjabi lady...
the wife asked the neighbour for a doctor to see to the injured husband...
a Parsi 'Bone-Setter' was promptly summoned...
the husband still recalls his anxiety of seeing 'Bone-Setter' written on the Parsi gentleman's bag...
by the way, the 'Bone-Setter' worked his ancient craft and surprisingly for the husband, his broken leg healed quite soon...
but still on that day, while the 'Bone-Setter' was seeing to the husband...
the wife and the old Punjabi lady from next door got to talking about this and that and where these new Indian-looking wife and husband were from as their accents were clearly not local...
the wife told the elderly Punjabi lady that the husband worked for the African National Congress of South Africa and had left to serve the ANC from exile...
and that they had left their two children behind in South Africa and that they were now essentially political refugees...
the Punjabi lady broke down and wept uncontrollably...
she told the foreign woman that she too had had to leave her home in Lahore in 1947 and flee to India with only the clothes on her back when the partition of the subcontinent took place and Pakistan was formed and at a time when Hindus from Pakistan fled to India and vice versa...
the Punjabi lady then asked the foreign woman her name...
'Zubeida', but you can call me 'Zubie'...
the Punjabi woman hugged Zubie some more, and the two women, seperated by age and geography, wept, sharing a shared pain...
the Punjabi woman told Zubie that she was her 'sister' from that day on, and that she felt that pain of exile and forced migration and what being a refugee felt like...
Zubie and her husband Mosie became the closest of friends with the Hindu Punjabi neighbours who were kicked out of Pakistan by Muslims...
then came the time for Mosie and Zubie to leave for Delhi where the African National Congress office was based...
the elderly Punjabi lady and Mosie and Zubie said their goodbyes...
a year or two later, the elderly Punjabi lady's daughter Lata married Ravi Sethi and the couple moved to Delhi...
the elderly Punjabi lady called Zubie and told her that her daughter was coming to Delhi to live and that she had told Lata, her daughter that she had a 'sister' in Delhi...
Lata and Ravi Sethi then moved to Delhi...
This was in the mid-1970's...
Lata and Zubie became the closest of friends and that bond stayed true, and stays true till today, though Zubie is no more, and the elderly Punjabi lady is no more...
the son and the husband still have a bond with Lata and Ravi Sethi...
a bond that was forged between Hindu and Muslim and between two continents across the barriers of creed and time...
a bond strong and resilient, forged by the pain and trauma of a shared experience...
and that is why, and I shall never stop believing this, that hope shines still, for with all the talk of this and of that, and of that and of this, there will always be a simple woman, somewhere, anywhere, who would take the 'other' in as a sister, a fellow human...
and that is why there will always be hope...
hope in the midst of this and of that and of that and of this...
(for Lata Sethi's late-mother, who was my mother's 'sister' and who took us all into her heart, and for Lata and Ravi Sethi of Defence Colony, New Delhi)

Here lies the best Grandfather,
One who was very considerate.
Remembering him as a child,
I would sit on his lap.
He was a rare person indeed.
He was a colonel in the Army.
Also superlative of a gentelman.
Here lies the best grandfather,
May he rest in peace.

Before we were thought of or time had started,
God put US in His Son's name..
And each time we pray, you'll see its true,
You can't spell Jesus without including US.
Were a pretty big part of His wonderful name,
For US, He was born;
And His great love for US is the reason He died.
Isn't it thrilling and splendidly grand
He rose from the dead, with US in His plan?
The stones split away, the gold trumpet blew, egospelexpress
And His resurrection was for US.
As JesUS left the earth with His wonderful ascension,
When He felt there was one thing He just had to mention.
"Go into the world and tell them it's true
that I love them all - Just like I love you."
So many people are Christian brothers and sisters,
Don't all the others have a right to know JesUS too?
It all depends on what we do,
He'd like them all to know,
But it all starts with US.

Through the blood of Jesus,
we have overcome!

I cannot get into heaven
God I have tried!
Suicide is a double edge sword
Especially when you survive!
Walking the streets at night
Dazed and confused
Longing to be loved
When is Mum, coming for me?
"Does she still love me?"
"Does she still care?"
"Does she still think of me?"
"Does she wonder, where I am?"
I want her to come find me
I want her to say she 'loves me'
I want her to comfort me
I want her to take me home
And keep me safe
And not forget hat I exist
Like the way she treats me now
I wish God
Could make my Mum
Magically appear
Making this hellish nightmare
On the street
"Send my Mum please!"
So, all this can end!
Before this last ray of hope
Diminishes for good!
I don't want to become
The walking dead
Forever forgotten as if
I was never born!
For this is the cruel, harsh reality
Of living life, feeling unloved
Uncared for, abandoned,
Left to fend for my own
A dangerous killer inside me
Eating away, at my soul
Something, no one can see
As I suffer in silence
My insides crippling!
Lost, alone and frightened
Weeping on a dirty
Graffiti park bench
Dirty tears
Rolling down my cheeks
Stuffing newspapers under my jumper
To keep myself warm
"What am I going to do?"
"Will I make it through the night?"
"Will I get raped and beaten?"
"Will I be left for dead?"
"Will I survive
To see another day?
"Is my life worth living?"
Please God, I beg of you
Have mercy now
Please show me the way!
When I met her , a very old lady she was , yet inside lay a frightened child .
I felt my heart cry , I felt as if I was touching history itself , as I made this older lady, child, chai .
I remember the day , and so many tears I have cried
I have cried before she and I met
As a child , so many tears, left confused inside .
Not understanding Why , and how could we stand by and live our lives as if this never happened ?
It happened , we are left in dismay of the movies seen the accounts taken of History
My self ..I have caught stereotyping the very people whom did this to she , the rest of her Family erased .
The white candles we light , we try and forgive , or just simply block this pain out completely.
It occurs , over and over , as it has been said History will repeat .
When thinking of my children , when I think of that little girl losing , cold and scarred , feeling only defeat .
There is a lesson here and I pray , that all whom have been taken from life , have no pain and are gifted spirits throughout eternity . May they be warmed with love, and reunited with the ones they lost .
The first time I met her , her old hand I took and warmed it with mine , I held it for a long time .
You could not, but notice ..the Evil imprinted on skin , the Evil only to remind.
This very old Soul , in her eyes you could see .
The child that once lived , so innocently free, not aware yet, of the Hostility .
I speak of a Little girl, I speak of a old woman , I speak of a Jewish, chosen Religion.
There as I held her frail , old hand , a brand , a number stamped in Evil a long time ago . In 1945 , once in our distant, yet Frightening past .
We should never forget , never forget it happened , never forget all the names .
If we do , we have learned nothing , A World living in Shame .

Arrested for thoughts
Of carnal delights
Tortured in the heat of a desert night
Poisoned, a corpse of poetic disdain
They do not care for the verses I write
Demons walking on holy water
I turned that water to blood red wine
They drowned
Drinking it in, I laughed then frowned
In chains, locked inside of me
Desires imprisoned. never set free
Walking along streets without destiny
Death approached, with an enticing smile
The last road traveled, at least
With his company awhile

What Shall I Do? For the One Who Gave So Much?
What shall I do? For the one who gave so much?
God reached down, and blessed me, with his touch!
What shall I do? To my lord who bled and died?
It was for my life, that Jesus was crucified!
What shall I do? To the God who truly loves me?
He has made it know that he wants
to be with me!
What shall I do? For the many who've "lost their way?"
Please dear Jesus…
Give me the right words to say!
What shall I do? As my way of, expressing my gratitude?
May God help me to have
a Christ' like attitude!
What will YOU do? In this time that God's given to you?
He's here right now! And is patiently waiting for you!
What will YOU do? Will you give God a chance ?
Won't you accept his salvation?
Whatever the circumstance?
What Christ will do… Is to do, what he does best!
Simply give him your life! He'll take care of the rest!
What Christ has done…. Is to give life everlasting!
Everything you need…
Is right here, for the asking!

Taking sides in discussions holily
About whether Uran used his willy
Means you're trapped in their game -
Either side is the same:
Cock distracts, cash departs, crowd stays silly.

That the brilliance of His majestic ways
and fire that burns from His white-hot eyes
give light to space of infinite, vast size
and shine on martyr's endless lift and praise;
that the grace He shows them endures and stays
in them and keeps and seals their lips from lies
for hearts and minds to remain pure and wise
and give His Word divine, angelic raise;
that the millennial Kingdom's earthly time
arrives after end times' brief, labor pangs
and saves God's children from sin's filthy grime,
so they who were tempted by Satan's gangs
will live on in glory and in their prime
once Christ defangs the Serpent's deadly fangs!

I remember the first time I
and my wife first met.
The beauty in her... I'll never forget!
I won't forget the day
and the place.
I'll never forget the look
on her face.
The feeling I had was
hard to describe.
I knew she was going to be my bride!
I'm thankful to Jesus for
bringing us together.
Binding us as one...
Both now and forever!
Twenty years have passed...
since our wedding day.
She's still my beautiful wife!
I'm proud to say!
Thanks be to God,
for making us one.
I pray for his blessings upon
our daughters and sons.
May God be the unifying
love in all that we do.
May we never forget the meaning of...
"I love YOU!"
Each day I look at her...
what do I see?
This wonderful wife God
has brought to me!
I'm thankful and honored
to have her as my wife.
She's been such a blessing...
A great part of my life!

An earthly existence
A universe beyond my minds, comprehension
I die
I rise
Life lessons reviewed
Homeward bound
I am not lost, after all!
I am a willing participant
Serving, the Father, of all creation
His son combined, 'producing life' as we know it
Representing them, in everything I do
I am nothing, without Love!
My heart full of faith, loyal service I give
Learning how to unconditionally serve, as the Father unconditionally, loves me
Worshipping our Divine Creator's existence
Choosing to live, moment to moment
Being as one with 'Our Universal Father'
No physical permanency
My physicality, disappearing
My mortality existence, I let go of
Death temporary
My spirit alive!
Relief, Peace
'I am only passing through!'
A unique, experience of mortality
A gift, I am blessed to experience, to live!
What is God?
Is it the Power?
Or is it a man?
Could it be an Alien?
I like to think it's a person
But I'm probably mistaken
All the knowledge in the mind
Just makes it harder to define
I'd like to dream and go to heaven
Just to ask to see the boss there
I would ask him why the world is so troubled
He would have to admit it is a muddle
I wouldn't trouble him with little things like the weather
Although I would ask why people have to die in earthquakes and floods
I'm sure he would understand the needs of a simple man
To want something to believe in besides religion
Religion doesn't help they are all the same
Professing to be better than the rest is a silly game
I think I'll get into yoga it might help me pass over to Nirvana
Then I would know all the secrets of the ages just like the sages
And I could share it with everyone and say it was from above
But people would probably laugh at me for telling them to love
So I will just tell you my friend I'm sure you'll understand
Simply love, that's all
And now I'll go to bed
I think it's for the best and I do need the rest.
Good night.

The Cowardice of the Taliban and The Silence of The Good Muslims.
When hot lead tears the flesh of a 14 year old girl,
ripping through her skull,
leaving her to bleed out and die,
does Allah not recoil in horror,
to see His child whimper,
to see His daughter cry.
Where is the indignation,
the anger that often boils over and manifests itself as flags and books and videos are burnt in mass orgies of hollow piety,
where are the voices that scream so loud,
that denounce all but their own creed,
where are the men, the impotent men who crave for nothing more than their fascist egos to feed,
where are the voices that so loudly proclaim,
enemies here and enemies there, always quick to condemn,
where are those voices when the enemy walks amongst them.
14 year old Malala Yousafzai was shot in cold blood,
her crime?
Advocating the rights of girls to an education.
Shame on you, men of bigotry and men of cowardice.
Shame on you, silent and mute accomplices in this carnage.
Shame on me,
for my inaction,
Shame on us all,
who proclaim lofty ideals,
yet are conspicuously silent,
when a 14 year old girl is shot in the head,
by fascist fundamentalist bigots who only worship bullets of hot lead.
Not in my name!
Not in my name,
shall the cowardly men rain down abuse,
Not in my name,
shall the bigoted men light the communalistic fuse,
Not in my name,
shall Malala Yousafzai be shot in the head,
left to bleed out,
while countless mothers' tears are shed,
not in my name,
shall religious murderers,
be left to wander free,
not in my name,
for I dare all believers to open their eyes,
to see!
To see,
the innocence of a 14 year old girl,
wanting only an education,
as the men of the cloth,
prance around with their pathetic self-righteous indignation.
I write this today,
the anger raging in my veins,
yet I fear,
that I shall write more of this,
unless we stand up and say 'no more',
I fear that I shall be writing this again,
until we all,
reclaim the true principles of humaneness,
until we silence the voices of bigotry,
of rage,
of fanatical insanity,
I fear I shall be writing this again,
until the muck-ridden bile,
is not excised,
I shall continue to say,
Or else I shall have nothing,
but my unending shame.
(for Malala Yousafzai, 14 years old, in a critical condition after being shot in the head by the Pakistani Taliban, for her work as a young activist advocating the rights of girls to attend school)
The blue waters,
The green trees,
The blue skies,
The light breeze,
The crisp air,
The birds sing,
The puffed clouds;
The awakening.
Today, it just doesn't seem fair
That we are still able to breathe.
They have given us their air-
Our duty to lead the life they leave.

Like the seraphs whose wings unfold,
Christ's light and glory goes not untold;
as the love of his humble grace
moves inside me all time and space,
as the planets orbit heaven's sun
and encircle it one by one--
so, too, am I caught in his sway,
beloved of him from day to day.
Through hosts of astral dimension
God's angels fix their attention
with expectancy and burning pause
around the universe's First Cause.
He, the one true Incarnation
that begets cosmic causation,
resolves the Infinite Regress
from the pre-Socratics' egress
with his omniscient wisdom
and the archives of his kingdom
where all can come and read and know
what miracles he'll yet bestow.
(January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968)
they shot you down
all those years ago
your dream lives on
and always will
for though much has been
gained since you dreamed
your dream
there is much to fight for
and much more to struggle for
and much, much more
to fight for still
your dream resounds in
our hearts and we pledge
this to you today
for though they shot you down
all those years ago on a memphis day
we shall overcome
this we do believe
deep in our hearts
we shall overcome
(for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.)
To Kill The Choctaw Cow
The Choctaw Nation Oklahoma, with proud and noble people
Hunting is our nature and our way
Pretty Tail was a family member, a friendly cow
She gave us milk for many moons
This is the story of her kill
My father Bully Ten Foot is our chief
Old and ill from living beyond himself
Hills and tent on prairie land, filled our purpose
No game to feed us so our cows sustained us
Food was scarce through winters blasting bite
Pretty Tail stayed just outside my tee pee every night
Years of her soft moo would sooth me off to sleep
Starvation steeped in desperation came on hard
Crops failed, grazing ended without rain
Pain became the Choctaw, as one and the same
An Indian man must always be a brave
Must know his reason within nature and the nation
Bully Ten Foot honored me, with the sacred task
My hunting knife and I took Pretty Tail down below the neck
I slit her deep within her throat
She bled on me her blood, a river of sorrow
For hours I let her do so with her last drops of red
And held her tight as my best friend
Made sure my tears spilled over into her blank eyes
And cried for her, in her place
Never again will I wear hide or eat a steak
But I ate her brains for power
Rode at great speed on angry stallions back
Black, with strong memories in mind
And opened up inside the plains releasing spirits
To send her off
From Choctaw Nation

I walk outside to see all that I can see.
Over there is our house, our home,
In the distance, you can see.
And that place of hallowed happiness
Forever has been our home
And forever will be so evermore.
That house is small but raised us tall,
From the perfect parents who loved us so
To the perfect sister for which every man would want.
The house built us all up strong.
More than a mere building,
It is a place to love and be loved,
A place that hands you hope that you give right back,
And a place of everlasting faith.
This home is where my parents taught me about God
And opened me up to Jesus.
They opened the eyes of the blind for all to see,
And the blind included me.
They taught me to be the best I can be;
The best things in life are free.
They have taught us so well,
And they all have saved my soul.
Even if I am not there now,
I carry Him with me.
I carry them with me.
I carry Their values and Their teachings with me.
In this house, this home,
We reside.
We cannot forget this.
This is where my Mother lives.
This is where my Father lives.
This is where my Sister lives.
This is where We live,
In this loving, caring, beautiful home
They made just for us.
We cannot forget this either.
This is where it all began.
This is where the hunger and thirst was created;
This is where we are fulfilled.
We cannot, we must not forget this:
This is where God lives.
This is where Jesus lives.
This is where The Lord lives;
The Father and The Almighty.
This is where We live;
This is where We reside.
We must not forget this.
We must not forget this:
What a beautiful and perfect life this is.
Christ Stepped Down From His Heavenly Throne!
Christ stepped down, from his heavenly throne.
He came to earth… For 33 years,
he called it his home!
His mission had one purpose and desire in mind!
He was to one day,
be a sacrifice for mankind!
He taught and gave us his words, powerfully spoken!
He knew that one day,
his body would be broken!
He desired that all, would one day, come to know him!
Because of his resurrection,
all can receive him!
He's alive today! And reigns from heaven above!
And desires to touch us, with his endless love!
Won't you humbly come, and accept what he's given?
And experience the power,
of being forgiven!
This can be your moment!
This can be YOUR day!
He loves you much more,
than words can say!
All honor and praise, to Christ Jesus, our king!
You are our righteousness!
Our everything!
By Jim Pemberton
If We Try To Ask Why
It was another plain morning in the mundane business belt
until we felt the day stay still, and we knelt to pray at will.
In the decade since our engrained tranquility was strained,
our prayers have waned, and cooperation was not sustained.
As proof time is trained to be aloof to tears of our grieving,
the babies born to widows, our high schools are now receiving.
And in history books, I fear a new chapter must appear …
Alongside its heavy content, the sheen on serene sheets shall screen
the extent of torment The Event means to they who lament …
Until the day they die, for some, when the autumn sun is high
in the September sky, the past and present run as one:
The scene, never done, repeats; people run; the crowd retreats …
And, where the cloud of carnage meets startled city streets,
the ash painting the panorama underpins
our divine Manhattan skyline mourning her twins …
If we try to ask why, theologians will explain,
when God grants free will, evil may reign, despite its pain.
My theory, one of many but as good as any,
is that the gist of why a sadist's bloodlust exists
isn't to be endeared to God, but feared like God.
Some philosophers pry, "Why was the September sky
a nearly perfect hue of select, pastel blue?"
The poets sigh, "… because on this date the land stayed dry
when the cascade of nearby angels refused to cry;
they came to fixate upon the souls they had to elevate,
and through the demure azure, the dead felt peacefully lead …"
If we heed our ancestors' lead, never letting faith recede,
the wealth of our prayers might impede the stealth of the slayers,
but if we try to ask why, our first task may be to find
ourselves resigned to God sometimes being disinclined
to thwart an evil mastermind within humankind.

I don't need any money,
I don't need fancy shoes.
I don't need to buy happiness,
'Cause all I need is You.
I don't need expensive clothes,
I don't need things to choose.
I don't need five-star meals,
'Cause all I need is You.
I'm smiling here so wide;
I feel like I'm brand new.
Today is the start of something big
'Cause all I need is You.
My soul is eternally fulfilled;
My heart is being led through.
I don't need anything else,
'Cause all I need is You.

After having to undergo surgery on an abscess that developed from a saddle sore, Group One winning jockey Ben Melham was forced to the sidelines for one month.
He made his return with the first of two rides at Sandown Racecourse on Wednesday, finishing fifth in the Doriemus Plate (1400m) aboard Hefner. Later in the afternoon, he'll saddle Robbie Griffith's Zadon in a Benchmark 64 over 1400 metres.
"I have had a decent lay-off so I'm pretty fresh and keen to get back into it," Melham told Sky Racing earlier in the week.
"I'm hungry to get back riding and riding winners.
"I was able to keep pretty fit though because I was still able to be active and I kept up my training.
"It shouldn't take me too long to get back in the swing of things."
Melham saddled Dissident in all four of the horse's spring starts, winning both the Group 1 Memsie Stakes (1400m) and Group 1 Makybe Diva Stakes (1600m), and is keen to reprise his ride on the winning horse come the autumn.
"From all reports he's going really well and I'd like to think he'll be competitive in the early Group Ones in the autumn," the hoop said.
"He's a top-class galloper. I'm excited to get back aboard him and thankful to Pete and the connections for keeping me on him."
After winning the Memsie Stakes and Makybe Diva Stakes, Dissident was a fast finishing runner-up in the Group 1 Sir Rupert Clarke Charity Cup (1400m). He then finished midfield in the Group 1 Caulfield Stakes (2000m) on October 11 where his season was cut short after he bled for the first time and subsequently banned for three months.
The 2015 autumn carnival looks to be Dissident's final season before he's retired to stud. Trainer Peter Moody has revealed he could kick-off his campaign in the Group 2 Australia Stakes (1200m) on the Australia Day long weekend later this month.
Before then of course, Melham must focus on Sandown. Zadon is a $6.50 hopeful at Ladbrokes.com.au to win the Benchmark 64 at 5:40pm (AEDT).
"I have a good opinion of Zadon and think he has quite nice staying ability," Melham said.
"I think he looks ideally placed first-up and hopefully he can run well."

Backstage Beauty: LAMB
Well, reactions to Gwen's LAMB fashion show have been mixed. Fab and most of you loved it, but Cathy Horyn at the New York Times called it "ditzville." (Maybe it's a generation gap?) Anyway, I can say that the makeup looked great. It definitely felt like something Gwen would like, and the smoky eye was soft and pretty enough that anyone can wear it.
Once again, I have the scoop on all of the products used in the show, so
Face: The face was sprayed with M∙A∙C Fix Plus to prepare the skin for application and makeup. For sheer coverage, M∙A∙C Studio Moisture Fix and M∙A∙C Face and Body Foundation was applied.
Eyes: Eyes were the focus and inspiration for this look. To create a dramatic, stretched out eye, M∙A∙C Matte² Eye Shadow in Blanc Type was applied all over the lid as a base. In the crease, grays and blue shades were blended; M∙A∙C Matte² Eye Shadow in Prussian, M∙A∙C Matte² Eye Shadow in Typographic, M∙A∙C Matte² Eye Shadow Soot and M∙A∙C Eye Shadow in Fade. Eyes were lined carefully with M∙A∙C Kohl Eye Pencil in Smolder. M∙A∙C Fluidline in Blacktrack was used to wing out the eye, stretching it up and out, while following bone structure. For thick lashes, one full strip of M∙A∙C Pro #6 lashes were applied to lash line and extra half strip of M∙A∙C Pro #6 lashes on the outer corners of eyes.
Lips: M∙A∙C Crème Color Base for Lips in Fawntastic was applied with a patting motion using finger.

Hallandale Beach Police said they arrested an unspecified number of protesters who blocked an entrance of the Mardi Gras Casino Tuesday night.
A planned protest took place at the casino at 831 N. Federal Highway, but some protesters blocked the west entrance to prevent customers from getting inside, police said.
A casino agent warned them they were trespassing as did officers, and "a few of the protesters" who would not leave were arrested without incident, police said. The remaining protesters left afterward, police added.

Entry #3
Hello, hello.
For those of you that do not know us. We are an animating duo, known for our activity on YouTube. We thank you all for the warm welcome to Newgrounds :)
We want to explain our intentions here on Newgrounds.
As of right now, we will be uploading our content we previously uploaded to YouTube. We won't be uploading everything, only the better ones. We're trying to avoid submitting the exact same thing, because a lot of you have already seen it.
What we plan to do with these older projects is just fix the errors we missed, and correct any mistakes or weak points. So Newgrounds will be getting the "better" versions. For right now. But nothing too serious for now.
If future projects we will be adding extra content for the Newgrounds versions. It could be deleted scenes, more mature content, or even easter eggs.
The only past project of ours that's getting any kind of major work done to it will be Minecraft Problems. The artwork was very sloppy, looking back. We will be fixing a lot of the art, and even adding a new scene to it. NG exclusive.
These are our intentions on Newgrounds, we hope to get everything caught up here soon. :)

PLEASE use swivel to convert your animations to 1080p MP4's! (send a email or a pm to tomfulp so he can allow you to upload them)
Oh we have fully 1080 Vids on YouTube, we're putting the swf's on NG.
2013-02-03 08:47:22
Yeah but I can't view SWF'S on my phone!
2013-02-05 13:08:32
I uploaded MP4 versions of your stuff so far so it will work on phones. We're in a wacky transition right now! You should definitely try out Swivel though, I think you'll like it.
Oh awesome, Thanks! I wasn't sure how to do that. Alexander is a bud of mine. I'll have him help me with that for future submissions, so you don't have to. :) Thanks for taking the time to convert them for me.
Also I was heavily interested in trying Swivel. The only reason we haven't yet is because we have a solid method to getting our videos in HD. I'm one that tends to fear change lol. We'll defiantly give it a try though. I've heard, and seen good result when using it!

Can you make a shirt like that
We'd like to. But most sites that sell t-shirts have bull shit terms or service. Most of the quality companies claim ownership of the uploads, and claim exclusive rights to your work. Just Legal shit I do not want to get tied up with. I'd rather not risk losing our work/ideas over t-shirt contracts.

Qidong Paper Plant Resumes Production
The paper factory at the centre of violent protests in Jiangsu at the weekend resumed production on Tuesday, according to the Associated Press: Authorities in the eastern Chinese city of Qidong dropped plans for a waste water pipeline linked to the factory, which is located in the nearby city of Nantong, after thousands of protesters angry about pollution took to the streets last week. […] The water discharge project was part of a planned expansion for the Jiangsu Oji Paper Nantong Mill, which began output in early 2011 with an annual capacity of 400,000 tons, according to the company's website. It is unclear if the expansion will go ahead now that the sewage pipeline planned for Qidong has been cancelled. The Wall Street Journal's MarketWatch reported that the the company's long-term plans in China may indeed be affected: "The impact (of the suspension) on its business is almost none" because the suspension will be limited to a short period, an official said. An industry official, however, said the latest incident "shed light on a business risk in China." Oji Paper could review its strategy in China, industry sources said. Oji has been expanding its presence in China and other emerging economies where it is seeing demand for its paper products rise, since having seen paper demand falter in Japan. Although the plant is a joint venture between Oji and the city of Nantong, nationality has become a prominent theme in the backlash against it. From China Real Time Report: In China, nationalist comments were mixed with lingering calls for further protest on Sina Corp.'s Weibo microblogging service, showing yet again the anti-Japanese sentiment still to be found in China. "How can a Japanese paper factory come and damage Chinese people's health and our environment? How can we with our 1.3-billion ...

The burgeoning development at Capcom's studios right now represents the biggest leap in creativity and innovation the Japanese publisher has ever witnessed. No more than two years ago Capcom still relied heavily on long-running series from yesteryear. Remember the PS2 launch game Street Fighter EX3? Right...
One is more likely to have fresher imprints of Onimusha or Devil May Cry, each of which blend action and adventure together with gorgeous graphics and high production values. These, along with a slew of upcoming new games, represent the company's new face. With the emergence of Shinji Mikami's growing influence throughout the company in addition to Capcom's willingness to grow with each new system generation, games like Viewtiful Joe, Steel Battalion and Chaos Legion are being made.
Chaos Legion looks and feels like Devil May Cry at first, but its simplicity belies it. The game is filled with straightforward action, power-ups and level progressions, but the core of its gameplay comprises the management and use of soul-fired legions. These "Legions" are dark forces summoned to fight by your side, and they're relatively flexible, capable of defense, attack, leveling up, growing in numbers, and more. Players can switch between two legions in a level, including sending them out to aggressively attack, or to stand by the player's side and defend all incoming incursions.
Each legion provides an unusual power. Some attack using swords, others are archers, while others simply sacrifice themselves for your good. All are powered by the souls of the enemy. Each time an enemy dies at your or your legion's hand, you retain their souls. Much like in Onimusha or Soul Reaver, Chaos Legion drives your legion of warriors into battle, and by using the simplest of strategies and by simply recognizing the type of new enemy, you will succeed.
Strategy Guide Available!
Become a Legionnaire!
Become a Legionnaire!
Our in-depth guide features everything you need to know about all seven Legions as well as a complete walkthrough with tons of screenshots!
In this week-long feature, we will focus on each of the different legions (seven in all), elaborating on their specialties and styles, and the abilities they provide Sieg in his quest. Because, in order to understand uniqueness of the game, one must understand each of the legions themselves. What's a Crest? What is a legion? Which is coolest? Who is Sieg? Read on, pilgrim...
To see more of the legions, check out these links:
Guilt Legion
Malice Legion
Blasphemy Legion
Arrogance Legion
Flawed Legion
Hatred (Power) Legion
Imagine commanding a legion of tall, strong, brutally powerful men-things, like smart ogres or elegant trolls, and if you can do so, then you might be able to fathom the simplicity of the Hatred or Power Legion.
The Hatred legion is a force of immensely powerful thugs to slug their way though anything. They're slow and don't always hit or rebound as fast as some of the other legions, but when they connect, whooo-boy!, you're in for a treat.
One of the later legions to collect, the Hatred legion is tall enough to attack aerial enemies and it can connect with floating mid-air generators too. I have used the Hatred legion in conjunction with the Malice legion (the archers) in numerous levels as a kind of short range-long range duo (Hatred as the short and Malice as the long range). You can collect up to as many as six (perhaps even eight in all) if they're leveled up to the maximum.
Assist Attack:
- Attack is called "Bad Karma"
- Hatred appears, blocks the enemy attack and sends the enemy flying
- Leveling up the assist will allow it to cause more damage
Force attack -- Active hearts (fight on their own)
- Follows Sieg and strikes nearby enemies and locked on enemies
Force attack -- Passive hearts (only defend until commanded)
- Defensive maneuvers only unless otherwise instructed
Force attack -- Triangle button
- Combination of strikes
Force attack level 1 -- Summons 2 bodies
- Force attack level 2 -- summons 3 bodies
- Force attack level 3 -- summons 4 bodies
- Force attack level 4 -- summons 5 bodies
- Enchantment -- Level 1, "Breakdown Level 1":
- Perform a shoulder butt type of move
- Life gauge increases by 50 points
Enchantment -- Level 2
- Life gauge increases by 100 points
Enchantment -- Level 3, "Breakdown Level 2":
- Causes more damage than Breakdown Level 1
- Life gauge increases by 150 points
We'll have more on the last legion of Chaos Legion tomorrow!

Countdown to a New Year with Obamacare — Already playing in a campaign near you: Anti-Obamacare ads — No enrollment update — At least the budget's a done deal
COUNTDOWN TO A NEW YEAR WITH OBAMACARE – Will there be cheering, confusion, grousing or worse? POLITICO's David Nather gets ready for the ball drop with his own crystal ball of what could go wrong on Jan. 1 when people start trying to use their new coverage under President Barack Obama's health law. "If the Affordable Care Act can get through its first days of actual health coverage without big eruptions, the Obama administration may finally be able to move toward a narrative that focuses on how the law can work," Nather writes. "But if it has to spend those days putting out more fires, the phrase 'troubled rollout' won't be going away anytime soon." http://politi.co/1cDfm6a
ALREADY PLAYING IN A CAMPAIGN NEAR YOU: ANTI-OBAMACARE ADS — Canceled health plans are the new stars of anti-Obamacare ads, Nather also reports. Americans for Prosperity, one of the most powerful tea party groups in the country, launched TV ads Thursday against two first-term House Democrats that blame the health care law for taking away health insurance people already had. The group is spending more than $600,000 on the ads against Rick Nolan of Minnesota's 8th District and Ann McLane Kuster of New Hampshire's 2nd District. And it's promising to spend a lot more on TV, radio and digital media to highlight the disruption it says the law is causing in people's lives: http://politi.co/1fLm3B4
Story Continued Below
On this 361st day of the year, welcome to Friday PULSE. We hope that you enjoyed our two-day hiatus as much as we did and that it gave you a chance to celebrate Christmas, Boxing Day, the start of Kwanzaa or just some hours away from the office. It's now time to start mulling New Year's resolutions for 2014, and we're sure the folks at HHS and CMS have plenty of possibilities for their list.
"To everything, PULSE, PULSE, PULSE, there is a season, PULSE, PULSE, PULSE..."
NO ENROLLMENT UPDATE — Given the strong surge of coverage enrollment since last weekend, we expected CMS to be eager to share the latest figures on how many visitors came to HealthCare.gov by the sign-up deadline of midnight Christmas Eve. But we were wrong. No stats were released Thursday; ditto on details of the call between insurers and the administration about the special assistance officials have promised certain delayed applicants. And how many people were scouting for health plans rather than holiday bargains Thursday? We don't know that either. We can only tell you that the federal call center was again open and the website seemed to be running smoothly, with no queuing in effect.
– This after a frenetic Monday and Tuesday, when the administration first announced a 24-hour deadline for enrollment and then went even further, saying that any last-minute shoppers who just couldn't get their application wrapped up and into the system could ask for a bit more time and some extra help so they'd still be covered come Jan. 1. http://politico.pro/1edFy4d
AT LEAST THE BUDGET'S A DONE DEAL – President Obama took a break from his Hawaiian vacation Thursday to sign the Bipartisan Budget Act, a bill that provides a broad outline for the federal budget through 2015 and eases some of sequestration's cuts. The act, reports POLITICO's Jennifer Epstein, restores a total of $63 billion in discretionary funding to the Defense Department and some domestic agencies plus includes $85 billion in deficit reduction: http://politi.co/1c9ScOx. Tucked into the bill is a short-term Medicare "doc fix" that averts a 21 percent cut in Medicare payments that would have kicked in Jan. 1 under the Sustainable Growth Rate formula. The $7.3 billion cost of the measure will be paid for through adjusted reductions in Medicaid payments to hospitals with many uninsured patients, lower payments to long-term-care hospitals and an extension of the Medicare sequester for FY 2023. Lawmakers hope to permanently repeal and replace the long-cursed SGR before this patch expires.
THE NEXT OBAMACARE DEADLINE – For individuals who got enrolled in time, the clock is now ticking on their first premium payment. The deadline had been 11:59 p.m. on New Year's Eve, but then the president asked insurers to give people on the federal exchanges more than a week of extra time (while still starting coverage Jan. 1) and some state exchanges pressed plans for the same flexibility. There's now real variation across the country, even within a single jurisdiction. In the District of Columbia exchange, for example, Aetna is allowing enrollees until Jan. 8 to pay, and Kaiser Permanente and CareFirst Blue Cross Blue Shield will accept payments until Jan. 15.
A PENDULUM SHIFT – Democrats are on the losing end of a 13-point swing in the polls since October, according to a new poll on the midterm elections released Thursday, and the result gives the GOP a several-point lead going into 2014.The CNN/ORC International survey shows Republicans holding a 49 percent to 44 percent advantage over Democrats. That's a swift reversal from just two months ago, when the Democratic Party stood steady over the GOP, 50 percent to 42 percent. In the generic ballot test, the poll asked respondents whether they would vote for a Democrat or Republican in their congressional district, without providing any specific names. The turnaround follows the rocky rollout of HealthCare.gov and numerous state health insurance exchanges at the beginning of October. The story by Jose Delreal: http://politi.co/1gZJOch
MISCELLANEOUS NUMBERS – Just because they seem an interesting tally, we note that in Matt Wuerker's cartooning portfolio of 2013, Obamacare held center stage in four of the 53 drawings: http://politi.co/1dFDaCJ. And Obamacare also played into the stories of three of the '10 who got their 15 minutes' of fame this year — with Pajama Boy at the top of the list of fleeting political celebrities: http://politi.co/1eGCx10.
Monday: R.E.M., "Losing My Religion"
Tuesday: Traditional English Christmas Carol, "We Wish you a Merry Christmas"
Wednesday: PULSE holiday

Health care inflation has reached a 50-year low because of a constellation of forces even more fundamental than Obamacare, and USA Today reports that the slowdown could continue for several years. http://usat.ly/1g2cqif
The New York Times addresses emergency room costs for patients with mental illness, which only continue to increase. One federal estimate puts spending by general hospitals to care for these patients at $38.5 billion in 2014. http://nyti.ms/JuHyLr
A Washington Post investigation finds that a $17 billion hospice industry, largely funded through Medicare dollars, often recruits patients who aren't actually dying. http://wapo.st/1cDlxai
The Wall Street Journal looks at how the Social Security Administration is about to rein in 1,500 administrative law judges to ensure that disability benefits are awarded consistently and to cut fraud in the program that supports Americans who can no longer work because of physical or mental health problems. http://on.wsj.com/1cD9sC3
And two very different commentaries come in the Daily Beast and Forbes. In the Daily Beast, Michael Tomasky writes approvingly that because of Obamacare, 2013 will be remembered as the year when the nation "recognized people's birthright to health care." http://thebea.st/19OMiWK. In Forbes, Paul Roderick Gregory skewers the projection that 30 million people will eventually gain coverage, saying that flux in the health insurance system means "anyone who claims to know these figures is either a liar or a fool." http://onforb.es/1li3ANV
**A message from The John A. Hartford Foundation: There are many ways to improve health care so older adults can continue to contribute to our communities and society. American ingenuity can replace ineffective, inefficient practices with new and better ways of delivering care.
Today's health systems don't always have immediate access to current best practices for meeting the unique needs of older adults. The John A. Hartford Foundation is addressing this challenge and has committed to making 20 percent of U.S. hospitals age-friendly by 2020. By consistently modeling and replicating evidence-based practices in health systems across the country, we can reliably deliver better care to older adults in every setting—resulting in less harm, better outcomes, satisfied patients, and lower overall costs.

Last week, the Los Angeles Sentinel, learned that a local restaurant, servicing the residents in South Los Angeles (specifically Watts), was selling a drink labeled with an offensive depiction of Black people. It appeared to have an Asian origin (Asian writing) and during its investigation, the Sentinel has learned that the writing is Chinese but the operator(s) of the restaurant is Cambodian.
As a result of these events, a press conference was held last week in front of the restaurant, and several community organizations, businesses and residents attended to lend their support to the growing outrage fueled by these racist depictions. In attendance were representatives from Watts Labor Community Action Center (WLCAC), Respect-Me Coalition, Mothers In Action, Brotherhood Crusade, Los Angeles Sentinel, T.J. Rogers, community activist, and Malik Spellman, the person who discovered the racist image. Also, there were many television cameras and reporters on hand covering the event for the mainstream television media.
Danny J. Bakewell Sr., executive publisher of the Los Angeles Sentinel and Timothy Watkins, president of WLCAC spoke with the owner(s) of the restaurant (who gave her name as Linda) who claimed she was not aware of the insensitive connotation of the image but promised to discontinue the sale of the beverage. Furthermore, she stated that she bought the labels separately and attached them to the top of the containers. There seemed to be a different label for each flavor of the drink however, the different labels that were on display at the press conference all had the derogatory racial depiction.
"We are calling on people of goodwill to help us rid the community of these racist images," Bakewell said, "It is most disrespectful to have this kind of racial insensitivity right here in the community being supported by Black people."
Watkins was equally forceful comparing the work that he has been doing in the community as he stated, "These are the kinds of images that the museum at WLCAC has been trying to erase by displaying positive images of African Americans."
The most disturbing aspect of this situation is that it appears to be just 'the tip of the iceberg.' Sources have revealed that there is an array of drinks with the same racist images being sold, not only in the Black community, but the racist depiction is very prevalent in most Asian communities.
In addition to finding out the language displayed on the labels, sources have also uncovered the origin of the labels. They reportedly are a 'hot item' sold by DOUBLE 88 INC. located at 6272 Avon Avenue, San Gabriel, California. The Los Angeles Sentinel is asking the community to call its offices at (323) 299-3800 to report the name and location of any retail or wholesale establishment the sells any merchandise that depicts these derogatory images—"three little Black children dressed in jungle garb."

I've done a considerable amount of recording, but this is <i>my </i>CD — with the music I love. I just have always wanted to sing and to know that it brings pleasure to others. I was able to take so much creative license and just let my personality be part of the tunes. —Valaura Arnold
DRAPER — On Valaura Arnold's newly released CD, "At Last," the Utah recording artist wanted her "personality to be part of the tunes" while expressing the joy she finds in music.
"I've done a considerable amount of recording, but this is my CD — with the music I love," she says. "I just have always wanted to sing and to know that it brings pleasure to others. I was able to take so much creative license and just let my personality be part of the tunes."
To celebrate the release of "At Last," Refinement Records, Arnold's recording label, is hosting a concert Saturday, Nov. 9.
On the CD, "There are a variety of styles. There is a really fun big-band version of 'Time After Time' by Cindy Lauper and also Vanessa Williams' 'Save the Best for Last.' It's a totally new twist on a couple of great tunes. You won't even recognize them at first," Arnold explains.
The title track is Etta James' "At Last" because "I have a deep love for big-band jazz standards."
When Arnold performs two other American Songbook classics, "Misty" and "Sentimental Journey," at concerts, they "always bring the house, so I knew I needed to include them," she says. "The neatest part of the recording of 'Misty' is that it's just me and the guitar, and we laid down what was supposed to be 'scratch vocals' to just get a feeling for it, but it turned out great, so we kept it."
The CD also includes two new songs by Nashville writer Tom Worth. "I fell in love with them when he played them for me," Arnold says. "One is titled 'Nothing Is Impossible' and the other is 'Fake It 'til It's Real.' They both have messages that you can live life by. Tom originally created them to be country tunes, but we arranged them to have a Michael Bublé feel."4 comments on this story
"At Last" has a bonus track, which Arnold penned herself. "It's kind of a teaser for what I hope will develop into a Christmas CD next year," she says. "It's about all of those feelings and memories that we can't help but revisit during the holiday season and how they bring us home."
Arnold, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, lives with her family in Salt Lake City. For more information and a preview of "At Last," visit Valaura.com.

I have deliberated about releasing this 10.55 min video to the general market. It is all about exactly how to eliminate 'write offs' once and for all.
What the heck, it will be better for all accountants not to have write offs. They are bad, negative, sole destroying disruptive and completely unnecessary.
For some firms this video is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of advice. All free! Go ahead and enjoy how to get rid of the most negative of accounting 'business practices' – write offs.
You should only have write ons – not write offs.

Jesse Jackson Jr. Tossed in Solitary After Advising Fellow Prisoners of Rights
By Kim Bellware
Jesse Jackson Jr. was locked in solitary confinement after a guard "took exception" to the former congressman advising fellow prisoners of their rights, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. Jackson, the son of the civil rights leader, challenged the legitimacy of his detention and was awarded a transfer to a new facility.
He has been moved to a federal prison facility in Alabama following the dispute at the North Carolina prison where he was serving a 30-month sentence for misusing campaign funds.
Family of the ex-Illinois congressman confirmed to ABC Chicago that Jackson was transferred to a minimum-security federal prison in Montgomery following disputes at the North Carolina prison that led to Jackson being placed in solitary confinement.
The Bureau of Prisons declined to provide the Chicago Tribune specifics over Jackson's transfer, citing privacy and security reasons.
A source told the Chicago Sun-Times the 49-year-old Jackson was reportedly advising his fellow inmates about their rights in prison when a guard "took exception to that." Jackson was then placed in solitary confinement for five days more than a month ago.
After a subsequent hearing where Jackson was cleared of any wrongdoing, Jackson requested to be transferred to FPC Montgomery — the facility he listed as his top choice during sentencing.

YEARS ago, Guy Ritchie used to make corkscrewy cockney capers like "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" and "Snatch." Then something seems to have distracted him.
Today, he's once again a rude boy in top form as he was a decade ago, letting thrash again with the bloodily entertaining and well-titled "RocknRolla," which is a sharp comedy as well as a punk-pulp spree. Don't go if you can't handle Brit slang. ("Grass" = informer.)
As in his two best films – I'd rank "Snatch" the best and "RnR" a close third – Ritchie lights a fuse and watches the story line explode in every direction.
The screen bustles with gangsters, vixens, double-crossers, drugs, cons, cute nicknames, tattooed villainy, "ladies of the pole" and a snitch who loves "Remains of the Day." Somehow, there's even room for Jeremy Piven.
There's also a pointed comment about Americans – American crayfish, actually, who are said to eat up everything around them and then devour each other. I don't know if Ritchie knows any Americans particularly well, but possibly there's some sort of message in there.
A snarly Tom Wilkinson hits the bulls-eye as Lenny, a vicious London crime boss ("There's no school like the old school, and I'm the f – – – in' headmaster"). Before the credits are even finished, Lenny has swindled a less advanced criminal named One Two (an excellent Gerard Butler) on a deal to buy a building. He's also agreed to take a 7 million euro payoff from a Russian real estate lord in exchange for greasing a politician to get a development approved. As the bribe is being delivered to Lenny, though, it is stolen – by the same guy Lenny just cheated.
Also in the mix are a feline accountant (Thandie Newton) and Lenny's crack-smoking rock-star stepson (Toby Kebbell), who has died three times this year but still manages to be a nuisance. Every one of these characters, and then some (such as the rocker's managers, played by Piven and Chris "Ludacris" Bridges), wants to find a lucky painting – unseen by the audience – that serves the same purpose as the mysterious briefcase in "Pulp Fiction."
No need to mess about with plausibility, given the anarchic comic-book feel. Why would the Russian voluntarily give his prized painting to Lenny? And it may be possible that two unarmed accountants would be given 7 million euros in cash to transport, but I refuse to believe they would be listening to "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" while doing so.
Things get even more febrile in a blistering good chase in which One Two marvels at the Rasputin-like indestructibility of two thugs trying to recover their boss' loot. There's also a very Tarantino scene in which a couple of the lads threaten to get medieval on their unfortunate captive.
Tarantino's tendency to get speechy, though, is largely avoided in favor of cockney playfulness that Ritchie finds irresistible: There's "He just needs a few hours with a right rotten tart and then he'll be in there like swimwear" and "All she got there was a hot bath and a cold razor" and "Think before you drink before you drive me mad."
Ritchie has a dry wit, too. I particularly loved this one: "Keep your receipts 'cause this ain't the Mafia."
Bang-on, mate.
Running time: 117 minutes. Rated R (profanity, graphic violence, sex, drug abuse). At the Empire, the Lincoln Square.

Carderock-- Chockstone Chimney (5.3)
|[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
This route supposedly is rarely climbed. Although the final section may actually be 5.3, the rest is really a short Class 4 move and some walking up to the crux, or at least that's how it felt. The crux is pulling around the chockstone, which I did by stemming to get into the best position and then relying mostly on the arms for the finish. Easy to do unroped if you're used to 5.0-5.4 without the rope, and probably not interesting or challenging enough to do on a rope, anyway. Still, it's a fun little "scramble."

Given that Berlios is due to disappear shortly, I have started a mirror of the source here: https://bitbucket.org/jmb/noteedit
I have also updated it to compile with a recent version of gcc (it compiles on my up to date ArchLinux box). However, this was done by replacing the build system from the autotools to SCons+sconstools (https://bitbucket.org/jmb/sconstools). The source code modifications should be valid whatever the build system, but the autotools scripts do not work at the moment.
Re: Dependency problems
NoteEdit no longer comes with rpm's. Several distributors like SuSE, Mandriva, Debian/Ubuntu, RedHat (CCRMA) offer packages of NoteEdit. You should ask them about new releases.
NoteEdit requires now KDE3, tse3, the autotools (and dependencies) and of course a backend like lilypond to compile and work.
Dependency problems
I tried to install this from the rpm, it required hordes of obscure c++ libs compiled with gcc 2.96, no less.
The packages the RPM listed as needed are practically impossible to get. An updated RPM would benice...
That said,I'll have another go at the tarball.

MIDI Import is handled by the TSE3 library. Make sure
you compile NoteEdit with TSE3 and then chose the
menu item "TSE3"->"MIDI in" and then use the "Filter
dialog" and TSE3 to score. Don't forget to read the
MIDI import discussion section in the documentation.
UI Intuiting
The interface for editing notes isn't very
intuitive at first, it can get a bit frustrating
adding a note and adjusting its attributes.
Also it dosen't appear mid format IO isn't supported, only on export. It would be nice to
see direct loading of the mid format along
with a more intuitive way to edit notes.
An open, cross-platform journaling program.

Q. My boss doesn't trust me. She double checks everything I do, asks me the same questions, and checks with other people to see what I am doing. I have a lot of experience, education and competency in my career. How do I get her to stop assuming I'm an idiot?
A. You start by realizing she doesn't assume you are an idiot. An excellent general principle in the workplace is to realize that people are not doing things for the reasons you think. Your boss may have an anxiety disorder, and people with anxiety disorders calm down when people don't make them more nervous.
Brain opiates (feel-good chemicals) can be either higher or lower in any given individual. When people you work with have less feel-good chemicals running around in their heads, they will be anxious if they are higher functioning and depressed if they are lower functioning.
You didn't break your boss's brain, but you can follow three rules for helping people with anxious brains at work:
1) Give them all the information you can about anything you think they may worry about. You'll find it is difficult to give too much information to people who worry.
2) Make it clear to your boss that you are taking all the action you can to control the events she may fret about at work.
3) Let your boss talk about what she is concerned about. Venting her worries will deflate the intensity of her reactions to you.
We all tend to be humorously self-absorbed when we walk into our workplaces. We assume that our coworkers are doing and saying what they are doing and saying because they are reacting to us. I recommend my clients use an opposite strategy to solve people problems at work. Pretend nothing anyone is doing has anything to do with you. Now consider what may be going on for the other person. Your explanation will always be closer to the truth.
If we don't accurately diagnose the source of a problem between us and someone else at work, we'll end up with a solution that won't work. Realize that we all carry around secret fears and inadequacies. When someone at work is reacting negatively to us, we usually hypothesize they have found out our secret deficit.
If you consider what usually upsets you at work, you may discover that it offends you when you think people don't think you are competent. Consider what upsets you about the idea that you are not perfect and neither are the rest of us.
If you are sensitive to the idea that you aren't always right and sometimes make mistakes, then you may jump to the conclusion other people hold the same expectation of you. The truth is they are too busy thinking about themselves to obsess too much about your imperfections.
Next time you believe your boss's reaction is all about you ... take a deep breath, ask her what she is concerned about, assume she is simply anxious, and watch how much easier your conversation will flow. You'll be delighted to discover that your boss's fears not your lack of competency was always the underlying issue.

Q. Is there a best way to influence my manager to change my schedule?
A. Yes, describe how your proposal will help your manager and you will have his or her rapt attention.

I've spent nine incredible months in Malawi and as I sit down to write this final blog, I begin to reminisce about my first moments in Blantyre last year; the heat, the spiders, the geckos!
Reading over my first blog post and remembering how nervous and unknowing I was about Malawi throws up a strange contrast with my emotions now-I don't think I could feel any more at home here than I do.
Of course, I've had my ups and downs, but I've come to love the heat and the geckos and so many other aspects of Malawian life, although I don't think I'll ever get used to spiders, no matter where I live! Overall, it really has been a blast.

Seeing the difference a simple meal can make has been a highlight of my time here. It's amazing how likuni phala can transform a child's life, and help give them the energy they need to pay attention in class and get the best out of their education.
I've met children who, because of Mary's Meals, came to school to eat, but are now excelling in their school work and have dreams of becoming doctors and teachers and creating a better life for themselves and their families. It's truly inspiring to see such things and is something I will keep close to me when I leave.
The first time I went with the Mary's Meals team to distribute donated backpacks to schoolchildren will remain with me forever. Although I already knew the importance of education, I had no idea how so many children didn't have basic school supplies to learn with. Thankfully, through The Backpack Project, Mary's Meals is bringing so much more than food and hope-it is offering these children an opportunity to really get the best out of their education.
One of my proudest moments with Mary's Meals has got to be when parts of a video I put together to celebrate International Day of Happiness were featured on American TV-talk show, Oprah.
When filming and editing the video, I wasn't expecting more than a few hundred views on YouTube, let alone a broadcast on a major US network! I'm so pleased the real stars of the video-the children and our wonderful Mary's Meals monitors-were featured in the montage along with clips from videos made worldwide to celebrate the occasion. It was such a proud moment for them, too.
My Chichewa has fairly come along since my first day here. Visiting schools, I'm able to chat fairly freely with the teachers, volunteers, and children. I will be making a habit of speaking Chichewa when I'm home in Scotland, even though my friends and family will struggle to understand me!
Although I am leaving the warm heart of Africa, I will return again one day (hopefully soon) and will-without a doubt-be visiting Mary's Meals and the children whose lives they are changing, all thanks to a simple, daily mug of likuni phala.
Tsalani bwino a Malawi, tidzaonananso. Rough translation: Goodbye Malawi, I will see you again.
Jackie Farr's internship with Mary's Meals in Malawi was funded by the Scottish Government through the Adopt an Intern scheme.
As Jackie moves on to her next adventure, Mary's Meals Communications Officer, Jo Lehmann, will continue the Messages from Malawi blog.
Jo will be keeping you up-to-date with news from the largest Mary's Meals school feeding programme and providing a monthly insight into life in the warm heart of Africa.

"The Supreme Court's partial ruling on the Arizona immigration law only spotlights the abject failure of the federal government to secure the border. Today's decision reinforces the need for conservatives in Congress to once and for all quit talking and secure the border. The first step is triple the size of the Border Patrol and authorize them to fight back. Congress must make states and local communities partners in securing the border, allowing them the tools necessary to enforce the laws of our Nation. Any legislation that provides a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens must be dead on arrival, and we must look at all the tools in our arsenal to address the influx of illegal immigrants, the threat of narco-terrorists and drug cartels."

Russia has started military exercises with its Baltic Fleet, Airborne Troops and Air Force in the Kaliningrad Region, Russia's exclave on the Baltic Sea coast, reports Itar-Tass news agency.
"The drills are taking place simultaneously with the international drills Saber Strike 2014 and BALTOPS 2014 that kicked off in Europe," the Russian Defense Ministry told Itar-Tass.
NATO drills Saber Strike 2014 take place on the territory of three Baltic States from June 9-20, and BALTOPS 2014 in the Baltic Sea from June 6 - 21.
"The number the Russian Defense Ministry's troops and equipment involved is equitable with the number of personnel, armaments and military hardware employed in border exercises being conducted by NATO countries," it said.
