I went to the sun for a favor
and asked it to shine only for you
to grant you happiness though you may be sad
bright yellow 'midst so much blue
but when the day decides to end
and the sun sinks and goes away
I give you the moon as a reminder
that my love will never fade
though i can't tell you how much I love you right now
and I can't show you what's in my heart
i hope when you look at the sun and moon
you'll realize we aren't that far apart

When the sun sets, The stars shine with no regrets. Darkness fills the air, The moon gives light with every care. The darkness is easier to walk through, Every light shining is so pure and true. Guidence forever are the stars in the sky, With them we find our places lifted so high. Forever is the moon to cast light upon us all, We become encouraged to stand firm and tall. The stars shine with no regrets, When the sun sets.
When the sun sets, Shining its powerful light it never forgets. Though light fades to darkness, It comes about with alertness. Shadows before the eye can see, The little shining light is enough to set us free. Sometimes we are afraid to walk alone in the dark, From which we were given a caustic remark. Guidance Forever is the changing of dark and light, It helps us to be strong and make one last fight. Forever are the shadows lurking at every turning point, If we give in it is ourselves we disappoint. Shining its powerful light it never forgets, When the sun sets.
When the sun sets, The sky is filled with wonderful colors that the ocean reflects. All the animals of the sea, Come forth creating a musical harmony. The waves crash upon the shore, Washing up new sand to the ocean floor. Its a beautiful site to see, The ocean sounds are calmingly free. Who's to say the ocean isn't peaceful get away, Its a calming place to relax and stay. The sky is filled with wonderful colors that the ocean reflects, When the sun sets.

She indulges in sensorial delights
Marked with the color of ecstasy
The passion she drinks is diluted with eroticism
The moon melts with her gentle gaze
Honey drips from her luscious lips
Like ruby flames sweeping desert dust away
Oasis of churning lava explodes within her fiery spirit
seducing the sun with her golden skin
Far away from Love's imprisonment
She builds her castle of desires

These were set in motion from the beginning of time.
Heavens abound in each of their glory, power sublime.
Every excursion that they set upon revolves in rhyme.
Solar orb that secures life upon this planet we dwell.
Universally seen around our globe, for all to tell,
Never tiring it revolves, captured within its cell.
Rising up from its core, flares of powerful streams.
I respect what has risen from the sunny beams.
Sharing the glory that it has upon everyone, it seems.
Evident by the life that it supports even in dreams,
Solar star of daylight hours continue as nature deems.
Till nightfall approaches while another completes the set.
Helping to guide travelers for centuries the positions to get,
Evening ignites different phases upon this satellites debt.
Monthly revolutions of this celestial body sway the hours.
Orbital bliss has spoken richly along with romantic flowers.
Opening souls in sensuality and fulfilling romantic powers.
New moon to which many have fell into its magical showers.
Splendor of the night as it falls to set upon the new dawns light.
Exemplary versions follow a pattern, which marvels natural sight.
Take notice of what you may be missing each upcoming night.
Said, I've heard, old sailors delight, shining, enchantingly bright.

By Sashi Prabhu (zeauoxian)
Alone I sat on the wet sands,
Of the Sernabatim beach lands.
The sun reflected blue sky,
On the greenish grey waters it looked so dry.
A sweltering sunny afternoon,
With the heat I began to swoon.
Alone, I moved myself into the waters warm,
The breaking waves look to me like many a lifeless form.
Warm waters I sense splash unto my waist,
Cool salty breeze sting my moist lips and chest, sweat erased.
The frothy waters seem so white,
Feral imagination within me is beginning to run regressive and makes me feel all right.
Alone I am rooted on the sandy shore,
I have within me, coming to the fore,
Feelings… deep feelings inside ignite,
Need to hold on to them tight,
The feelings incite,
A poem in my mind's eye I feel and now see, that I would have to write,
Without any spite.
Alone, I am in the waters warm,
The breaking waters lash against me and quickly change form,
To myself feelings that turn to spirity words I begin to recite,
As I cast my eyes on nature around me from within springs delight,
And in its own right,
The poem begins to rewrite.
Alone, I am in the waters warm,
My feelings have begun to rewrite,
In my mind without any spite,
I am now filling myself with delight,
As expression is flowing freely in its own right,
And will transcend on to paper in black and white.
Alone, I now sit, drenched,
To the sands entrenched.
Melts the noon,
And evening falls attune,
The sun reflected blue sky,
Has now swooned away and I turn a blind eye.
Alone, I now sit, drenched,
Content in myself and with no feelings wrenched.
Relaxed…happy….at ease and contented……eased.

The curtains riffled by a breeze, intrudes upon the solitude
....Please, let us warn them, if we must, to restrain the hour once again,
for we intrust to weave this time to be our sacred interlude
So, a dawning sun lays softly still, resting on the golden hills
softer than a white moth's wing, ... sifting light upon the sill
Your hands are guided by the dawn...
no use pretending we will rise, to view the morning sun...
Or that we choose this time to sleep for, less than that,
which claims the heart,... comes wild with strokes of fondled touch
the essence, of ecstatic love, ... as old as time itself
And as for now, ...desire's plea,
demands the trace upon my face,
while other needs will beckon thee
to trace thy fingers eagerly, .... across my bone and flesh
I beg of thee, suspend all time, ...with nothing spared
content to hold our secret nest, ...against the dawn of time
Caressed, by daylight on the crest
a fading moon, will find retreat
as the sun delays, without defeat,... where it remains, in compromise
Your whispered breath, upon my ear
will halt the sun, from coming near, ... until we fill our love complete...
..... and then it will arrive

I watched the sunshine kissed her toes
Slowly moving to her thighs
How I envied the sun
Kissing that gorgeous brown skin
I sat in the shade yet my temperature rose
Imagination carrying me away
To that week we first met
When our love began to bloom
We kissed beneath the moon
Our surrogate for the sun
Reflecting in her eyes
Oh how I ached for her touch
My soul and body electrified
Now I watch her skin glistening in the sun
I can no longer wait
I walk over
Lean down
Give those sun kissed lips a kiss
She opens her eyes
She smiles
My world is made complete

The trail of the dying sun
told me of your tears
and the west wind
brought me your name
The river spoke
of all our fears
the ocean
felt the same
The earth waits to receive your bones
and your spirit be cradled by sky
all we are is dust and thought
dust and thought until we die

Who said the sun rises in the East?
That's not true in the very least....
The Sun rises and sets in the West
Where does dwell the very best...
My Yum Yum girl
Sweeter than molasses
Shining and brightening my way
Oh, I do bless
The very day
I set my eyes on my Yum Yum Girl
My heart has ever since
Been aswirl...
For my Yum Yum Girl
Tasty love beyond belief
Oh, what a relief...
To recapture
My Yum Yum Girl
My Yum Yum Girl
A smile that beams
Golden hair that gleams
How I love the laugh
Of my Yum Yum Girl
My Yum Yum Girl
Oh, my, oh my,
My Yum Yum Girl.
My Yum Yum Girl.

Mid afternoon, the sun slams down,
On the shifting sands of a coastal town,
The monument points with a gun to the sky,
The heat haze displaced by a seagull's cry;
On the quay I sit and look out to sea,
At the distance between the horizon and me.
At a quarter to four I have not moved on,
Wearing haunted looks that I thrive upon,
An ice cream melts in a splitting cone,
Seeping through cracks to a twilight zone.
I take a deep breath and rise to my feet,
So cold and alone in the sweltering heat.
At the closing of day, the sun settles down,
The night muscles in on a coastal town,
I drift to the bar and the sea licks the walls
Of the harbour without where the darkness falls.
I look to the dusk for an answer or two,
But there's no sign of life, and there's no sign of you.

There's a feeling inside, I can't explain
Somehow good intentions have ended in pain
Its not what I wanted
Its not how I planned
But somehow true love has slipped through my hand.
You were my true love, My kindred, My life
Its hard to accept you won't be my wife
Destroyed and in tatters, beyond all repair
But never forget girl, I'll always be there.
Its sad and unfair how we fell apart
But although its in pieces, you still own my heart
With each sun that rises, with each sun that sets
My prayers are for you, the girl I can't get.
We'd laugh, we were silly, we'd sulk, we'd forget
But when bed time came round, I was so glad we met
Your face in the bath, when your hair it was wet
Your perfume, your toothbrush, I'll never forget.
I've paid for my crimes for what I've done to you
I've paid with my heart, for its broken in two
I love you my sweetheart, my breath of fresh air
The best part of my life with you I once shared.

As I pull weeds from cracks in sidewalks
Yout sit on top of thrones made of solid gold
And I pay no mind to the women around me,
Only to your beauty do I hold an Ode.
I see my fair Spanish lady
my daring, sweet rose with thorns,
That run up and down her spine.
As she stops in the daily parade
Waving at the peasants,
She looks at me and summons her guards
Too take me away.
Her beauty is unbearable.
I cannot take not being with her
For a single moment in my life.
Her hair,
Black like coal,
Her smile is bright, as the first rays of the Red Sun
In the dawn.
Her lips painted with ruby lipstick,
her silk laced dress and shawl wrap around her,
Like a beautiful butterfly in her cocoon.
Her skin of olive, dark color and her green eyes.
My God, those sweet and piercing green eyes
Oh, how they hit my soul and make me shiver with excitment.
She is intoxicating and I am intoxicated in her beauty.
She is like an angel, a Latina beauty who walks the streets paved gold,
As I walk the cracked, cobblestone walkways.
She shines in the Spanish sun, like a dimoand in the ruff
As you blow the dust off her sweet brow,
she glows and sparkles with extordinary excellence.
She is beautiful and sweet and kind.
She loves me, but her father minds.
I am only a peasant, and she royalty.
Can our love ever be together in one holy matrimony?
I pray to the Lord, of all that is good,
Please give me a sign that she loves me.
Soon a storm came over,
blowing me down to the ground
And a cloud of dust swallowed me whole.
A great Conquistador on a great white stallion
pulled me up and told me that she wanted to see me.
I shacked with nervous of joy as I followed the warrior.
She was there, under a palm tree
Near a beautiful beach in Barcelona.
She smiled and a glow covered me with passion.
I hugged her and kissed her upon her sweet lips.
I tasted virginity and she tasted loyalty.
We both tasted beauty and harmony.
As the warrior left us,
We made love upon a vigin white sheet,
Soon covered with a flowing river of red.
She moaned with exticy and love was in the air.
The Ode to my sweet Spaniad, Mi Corazon!
We lay there in each others arms
Looking up at a clear night sky
The twilight glimmered ever so softly
And a shooting star blazed across the sky
I kissed her and she kissed me.
I whispered in her, "My love forever"
And she pushed me back upon the sheets
and we made sweet and ever lasting love again.
As we looked in each other's almond colored eyes.
I said to her, in a soft voice, Mi Corazon.

While the shadows fall so widely
we shall embrace a moment
for a moment will fill
all the shells empty; holding nothing
but time—days n' days
without love
The wedding procession covered
you in flowers and white
floating through the candle light
dragging crisp white fingers lightly
through lilies fair
While the shadows fall so widely
and the candle light twirled through your hair
Twist a finger, twist a lily
While the shadows fall so widely
Blush the sun rubbed rose cheeks
lift a veil, let the sun shine off your green eyes
While the shadows fall so widely
You were left a drift
your beauty beyond our realm
of beauty
While the shadows fall so widely
Lift the veil from mine eyes tonight
as goes the cloud from under your star
I see
While the shadows fall so widely
your foot astray touched the water
and you bloomed embracing me
While the shadows fall so widely
we shall embrace a moment
for a moment will fill
all the shells empty; holding nothing
but time—days n' days
without love

I feel his heart race
His warm breath rustling my hair
My mind tells me, 'run'!
Then lips find mine, so supple!
Too late! We're caught in the sun!

I awoke this morning to the sun in my face ,
Quickly I sat up for I knew it was late .
My sleep has been so good since we came together,
The rest I get the peace I feel will be with me forever.
Can't remember when I have felt so good ,
Finding you has changed my life , I knew it would .
This is not something I would ever take for granted ,
Because I know the seeds of love have been planted .
It will grow and blossum into something so grand ,
Always glowing brightly no matter where I stand .
Not a worry or care do I feel on this day ,
Only joy and happiness will come our way.
I can say this from the bottom of my heart ,
Never will I feel alone when it's cold and dark .
To be awakened by the sun in my face ,
To be honest with you , it matters not if I am late .

I woke up to the sound of colors
from a misty dream
heard the blue bells ringing
and a trombone playing the cream
a pink rhapsody kissed my lips
as the sun climbed into our bed
whispering a love song
in yellow, orange, and red.

danced with the sea
on her shades
eyes spoke feelings

sun treks high mountains
leaves shallow valley behind

We welcome the sun
We welcome the sun
A gleaming sunrise is seen in the distance – shedding relief
Bursting forth like fireworks in the dark blue sky
Hues of beauty and sincerity washes away our grief
The cheery clouds come together like lovers embracing one another
I'm never waving goodbye
It's so surreal… and magnificent to see this scene unfold
You lift up the sparkling light… you're an angel from up above
It's so vibrant – the illuminated sight never dulled
You bring us luck and excitement –
You're as pleasant as a dove
We welcome the sun
We welcome the love
We welcome the sun
We welcome the sun
To omit the darkness
To abolish the distress
To conceal the darkness
And reveal the halo
Hovering around your head
Burning away the dread
We welcome the sun
We welcome the sun
We welcome the sun
An ocean of love is rubbing against my feet
Blankets of comfort embrace me now… our love will never dry
You treat us with reverence and I repeat –
You're as pleasant as a dove – taking wing from on high
We welcome the sun in the morning
We welcome the sun with open arms
We welcome the sun
We welcome the sun
We welcome the sun
We welcome the sun
A speedy breeze is whistling in my ears
Spiraling mad like a spinning top
Spiraling mad with all of its might
You're very intriguing – you casted away our fears
Your gorgeous eyes
Project bright green and blue
You're special in His sight
He welcomes you
We welcome the hope
We welcome the sun
We welcome the sun
We welcome the sun
To lighten up your load
And lead you to the mercy road
Where you and I will escape to paradise
To drive out all of the negativity
To conceal the wretched farewells
To reveal the light in goodbye
We welcome the sun
We welcome the sun
We welcome you
With open arms

Oh, natures tree, how are you blooming, When Winter is arriving so coldly?
With colors so vibrant, how do you reflect the dimming light, so boldly?
Were you confused by the sun that rises too early, or conflicted by the manipulation
Of season? Or defiant, to natures authority, and just decided to create
Your own reason? Buds blooming, with a brilliant color. . Branches
Reaching to skies with absent sun rays; Surrounded by browning and wilting
Life; Yet your brilliance, Your beauty, and Loveliness stays? Oh,
Valiant tree, why bloom now? When all that's
Left here is the rain?
Darkly tinted shades
Of grey, Dying life
Laid at your roots. .
And yet, you're blooming
All the same.
Your golden hints of
Though clouds fill
The sky . .
Your branches' room
For lovely birds,
And yet, they all have
Passed you by?
And still you bloom,
Growing with nothing
But self desire,
Detesting before,
As natures core,
But my soul
Will forever admire

No one asked her to dance at their Prom that night
It beggars belief in me, what's wrong with these guys
Her beauty is all I see, personified within my sight
To not even to approach, I'm in total amazed surprise
Moving now to the present, although pasts have lived
Paths of life have drawn us to be amidst of each other
Recent discussions daily, our template to never sieve
It beggars belief to me that others they would rather
Now you have to be me to see to what my eyes declare
Breathe with me to see, within politeness my eyes grace
It beggars belief in me what's wrong with these guys stare
To never to ask her to dance, their Prom, invited place
The night has finally arrived for my ask to come to light
To see her standing there for my eyes to behold
Draped against her tanned a dress that so delights
My heart in pumping joy as our evening starts to unfold
At the edge of our bed she stands, her beauty immaculate
I offer my girl my hand as she smiles we begin to dance
Hands to shoulder to waist, two in movement calculate
Engrossed, absorbed, I'm caught, her scented fragrance
Slowly our hands in roam, listening to 'The Flame' by 'Dare
Eyes in glancing look, anticipating minds in thinking wish
Lobe to necks now met, disheveled clothes reveal bare
Our song now nears it's end, our hands in touching bliss
Buttons open straps in slide, shoulders where fingers walk
Gravity about to be tested, soft cotton just can't resist
Tongues like fencing epee's, when earlier they just talked
Unison hand in hand, engrossed in naked to bare assist
Covers turned lie silken sheets, rose petals sporadic adorn
Two souls in facing look, kisses aplenty caressing touches
Entwined in loving join, hips grinding torsos bourne
Rhythmic writhing palms in palms, lovingly in clutches

Yeah I can get so hyped up with life so high I'm so freaking verbally drunk like a psycho,
Mind so wrong nothing in my vocabulary at that time in my mind can get right though,
A piece of this hate cake in this corrupt dictionary I'm going to have to take a bite though,
Whether the answer is written in hell yeah or heck no,
Im going to shoot through your deer less body like a scoped out rifle,
You just another liar if you say my words aint make your mind shake and awake with a stifle,
Im shooting sideways, up, down, so much I get high low,
I could be telling true lies when you see my fake gun ridden smiles,
I might just shoot self in head because Im getting a little too suicidal,
Im in need of God because I keep skipping planned revivals,
Im reading the rhyme master Shakespeare I aint reading the Bible,
Im playing with word bullets shiny as a burning star struggling for simple survival,
I want people to tell the truth but cant help but keep telling themselves lies though,
Hiidden demons in the book of lifes closet dont tell me how it is because I know,
I too onced played with life like a toy plastic as Tyco,
Im going to stand out in this world like the tower of Eifel,
Im going to bring out all my freaking hidden poetic files,
Im putting word ryhme puzzles together like floor tiles
Im going to do it now not later gator or after while crocodile,
I got little time in life left on the sun dial,
I got but few years or even months left before I face my ultimate trial,
But first Im going to have some fun into the night sun until I get riled,
But family comes first I must start to think of my own seed, my very own child,
I got to stop the ways of living stupid like Im out of hand so wild,
I must drink from the fountain of life like the Egyptians do from the Nile,
Pull my own way out this ****ing trash, this bull *****pile,
I got to stay strong in the mean time because everything in life takes a little while,
Sometimes I dont give a **** about nobody because it feels as if I have nothing to live for, but now I got a child I would die for
So now I must keep living because if I die I know I would leave behind a child behind that I would cry for,
I must walk that road less traveled like a car breaking down on the open road still trying to idle,
Walking amongst greats is going to be my own personal hypo,
I will walk strong in the days that I die in my last UNSEEN MILES......

In your arms, I lay behold ,
gentle winds and sea salt kiss.
Shade full arms from hot sun bold
coco milk sweet, lovers dish.
My naked skin, sun loves to play
lying under this palm tree day.
Listen to your arms wind sound.
No gentler tender song I've found.
Tension, grief, sorrow and more,
all left behind seaside's door.
For here life's origins, beget and made
ancient past lives, memories to fade.
But here in Tulum, my friendship sea
I find myself, in gentle palm tree.
And so from youth my memory serves
a poem that retold again deserves.
"that only God can make a tree and
…poems are written by fools like me"
Truly then and true today
That Godly art create tree play.
For made he did a vast array
charming comfort of trees I say.
Strong steadfast oaks.
Wispy willows.
Lilac purples for ones pillow.
Cedar pillars ancient.
Rain forest lush,
only the palm tree
makes me bush.
Round coco breasts filled with milk.
Erect pillar penetrating fronds of silk.
So, in your arms I want to be
naked, contentment, happy and free.
And so end my tree poetic attempt
of my love affair palm tree spent.

Walking in the meadow of life on that summer day
Where she always loved to be at Una walked along the steady stream
As she picked up the white Lilly flower and put upon her hair of gold (princess of love)
And the daughter of a dander king
Una suddenly turned her head to the old orchard tree and begun to sing roman lullabies of joy
With tears of affection shed for the god who lives above the skies
At that moment she gazed back to the stream
And there the lion stood so tall just like a king eyes wide looked to una
As she went toward the mighty lion he went to her and utter'd thee words
I am a creature of pride with nothing to hide I am pure of heart true of courage with a mask of savage a mane gold as our hearts-
She became very happy and intrigued
As she laid her gentle hands on upon the lion she spoke these words
-I love thee lion and by sun and moon I love thee freely as men strive for right;
I love thee purely in my old griefs and childhood's faith
There a tiny lamb appears right next to her and the lion
So small and graceful like a gift from god above
The tiny lamb followed them further into the enchanted meadow sky as crystal blue and the wind is calm they drifted off strung into the world
To bring new love joy and courage to the world and spread good faith

In the void, sipping the zoid,
with mental properties of tripping on the spiral.
Falling down the tail of lions, awkwardly spinning.
With upside down tunnel vision leaking through.
Solidifying all matter that matters,
melting into the walls of your brain.
It tickles all the raindrops dripping in your eyes,
satisfying your desire of a synchronized pattern.
Bleeding purple from the rainbow,
and turning into swirls of diamonds.
Slipping exuberantly beside you; driving you wild.
Where the shadows stop the spirited scream.
Devour yourself into the omniscient grip.
Icy cold finger tips scratch the surface of your divinity,
bringing you closer to the God who whispered in your unborn ear,
situated in your flesh from birth to death.
It embeds itself in the pupil of your eye,
dancing with your spirit and licking your soul.
Black shapes of madness wrapped in chaos and euphoria.
Twinkling and blinking dust of a cloud.
Haze filled skies and blood filled smoke raining from the clouds.
Envisions of clowns and demons laughing at our demise.
Chilling sensations of sickening mannerisms,
mechanisms and mechanics sought out to destroy the tiny creatures.
These creatures running crazy into acceptance of demise.
Deprived of life, scared of death but giving into it's taste.
Taste buds quiver as the taste grows sweeter.
Death, oh death, tell everyone who you really are...
Too long have you been hidden in the shadows you cast,
too long have we rendered your pain.
The world grows sicker as the hairs in my head grey.
I'll never surrender as demons always circle.
Today, begins a new day of our fight.
And I have a good feeling about this day.
Onward, we have united our minds and gathered ourselves within.
Always ready for we accept our fear.
We accept our hate and everything in between.
Accept it all for what it really is.
No amount of doubts will over throw us.
Onward, to peace.

As the sun smiled and fadeth behind the clouds
The yawning earth uncloak her beauty to the moon
Halfway through the night, a clock strikes '12' too soon
Virgins carried a lamp and a vessel of oil
Eagerly waiting for the groom's appearance
Abounding in devotion, patience and perseverance
Virgins grew weary and fell asleep, at midnight a cry was made
"Behold the Bridegroom cometh"
Here He comes and there the band of virgins goeth
Virgins begin to trim their lamp
But five neglected to watch and to pray
They never anticipated so long a delay
"Oh no! Our wasting lamps is dying out by day
Please give us of thy oil!
Please spare us a little of thy toil!"
"No! We have no oil to spare
Lest our lamps burn with dim flame
The groom is come already, lest He vent blame"
The unwise virgins were shut outside the banquet hall
They were left anguishing in gross darkness
In a night of eternal and unredeemed blackness
Both parties were taken unaware
But one was prepared for emergency
As their lamps continually glow with fervency
We have come to the last time
Let your lamps burn and not quenched
And be not a passive warmer on thy church-bench

Command the Israelites to bring pure, pressed olive oil to you for the lamp, to keep a light burning constantly.-Leviticus 24:2

It's easy to become lost in the idea that only things in life change you;
rather than you are always changing in your creation.
When you look at demons in the haze, marvel at the haze.
Demons are feeling homesick.
Be true to everything you are and thrive on.
We all have demons, it's up to you on what to do with those demons.
The most dangerous are the ones unknown.
She is herself. A beautiful demon; not hidden behind a shadow.
Her magic is infested in my desire.
She is beautiful for I can unravel her thoughts.
She expresses to me the words intertwined with my ambiguity.
Riddled with love; I sleep in her soul.
She is my butterfly in our cosmic cannibalism.

The wind blows the rainbows down
Turns your frown upside down
Then spins it back around
The sun hides the moon
Underneath its coat in bloom
The flowers came late this June
The rain in a teardrop
Falls like dew from a leaf
When she looks at me
See that look upon her face
Used to take her to the stars
Now she's headed back from Mars
Now that Venus loves her more
Wouldn't throw her to the floor
Like before

I glimpse the tidal waves, rise high,
Sweaty brows drip, a dry.
surf boarders and dipper are so many,
dolphin rides touts coerce you for just a few penny.
red vested lifeguards always on their toes,
A breath of relief, the tippling tourists, their number grows.
ripples, sounds a melody repeat,
artisan, tests his percussion cask to a beat.
A robe draped lass, captures her lover,
sun, its rays darkens the picture ,above it hover.
Reshoots she, from another angle,
smiling lover's flushed face she manages to wrangle.
hi-tide shack perched a high,
view is great and the breeze zips by.
distant travelers they bathe in the sun,
Some on the sand , others swelter drip their as they run.
Balding head darts, reflects its gleam,
the scorching sun and the skin cream.
The peddling tribal woman with an orange drape,
family cuddling a little one, the sun to escape.
young woman, alone she walks,
stray young man I think he stalks.
tattoo on his arm seem so strong,
They are lovers, I know I am wrong.
The flower powered oldie, walks with his guitar strung back,
A bag in his hand &stuff he puts aside on the beach rack.
a hulk walks by, in nickered blacks,
To the percussion maker's shack can see his sandy tracks.
bikini clad lady, dart towards a fella,
blueness of her robe shades her name tattooed, Isabella.
chat they seem to have and away he's gone,
kicks some sand and wades back to her beach chair all alone.
Past noon and ebbing are the tides,
dippers galore and can see them lying in the watery sides.
eagle sweeps and glides a close,
chasing birds are but a murder of black crows.
tall blond man ducks in the water he ambles,
With a bulging tummy ,it rumbles.
thatched roof stays the sunlight on me,
blue clothed ceiling textures the sky and the sea.
dark Indian lass, aglow on her face,
heat rays redden her skin ablaze.
Hurriedly she moves to the thatched shack.
Her lover here rubs lotion on to her back.
Cattle herds , see them stroll the sandy water,
An English couple walks away from the boat with their daughter.
Beneath the beach umbrella a man cleans his shades,
The strong breeze its trapped around him under the glades.
An hour has gone by and my throat is all dry,
Sparkling water I gulp down the bottle with the blink of an eye.
Content is my heart for this passionate poem I create,
Good or bad , you can choose to debate.
My love intended for the girl of my dreams,
she walks from side to side,
not knowing that I walk alone.
She is beautiful than any other thing in this simple world,
everything around her shakes and trembles
as she walks on by without a spare of a passing glance.
The wine is drunk
the last cigarette smoked,
the pain of heartache gone away.
It feels good to see her go my way,
to take the pain with her away from me,
as I sit in the wayward cafe on the river of ashes.
A beautiful girl she is mine,
but that course of life shall no surpass mine,
and my heart beats and takes me away
in hope of falling in love.
Irony of love and hate,
it is similar in many ways,
as I sit and think of her.
She angers me,
but when the vail of anger falls over my eyes,
the passion of love enters my mind.
Come now, take me away,
hold me in your beauty,
and love me with your gentle body.
Go into the gardens,
where the nightingales sing,
and sit at the patio's crossway.
Watch the artists paint pictures of the garden,
watch the writers write about the garden,
and watch us go and pick flowers in the garden.
The air smooth and wind breeze calms the nerves,
the pain of my sorrowed heart is soothed,
by her sweet intellegence and beauty.
Her eyes, orbs of blazing sunlight,
blind me with the beauty of her beauteous face,
her lips and skin smooth and pure.
She is glorious,
My love she is the dream girl,
who comes and takes my nightmares away from me.
As I sit on the park benches,
I light my last cigarette,
and reminicse on the days with my love.
I close my tired eyes only for a moment,
and the moment is gone,
my beauty is gone.
The tears are all gone,
the pain has gone,
the feelings of everlasting love are all gone.
Where did it all go?
Where did my beauty go?
Where did my love go?
All gone now, all gone now,
as I grow old,
the feeling of death takes me by surprise.
The park bench is cold,
the cigarette is burnt out,
I am longing for a drink.
I lay in a wayward cafe
drink a coffee and talk to myself
discussing a book of poetry.
Looking over to the right
I am blinded by beauty once again
this time this is no dream.
Alas, my dream girl came
that appeared in my sunny pleasure dome,
who has walked barefoot in the gardens of my mind.
She sat with me,
I looked at her
and we smiled together.
We held hands together,
and dreamed together,
forever and ever.
Love everlasting,
everything everlasting,
cigarettes smoked together.
A cloud over our heads
in the shape of a heart
my love.

When princesses get 'nasty'
In most fairytales, princesses are portrayed as beautiful, kind hearted and friends to animals. Lake Middle School is turning that perception on its head with its production of "Seven Nasty Princesses."
The school's fall play opens Nov. 10.
"Seven Nasty Princesses" is the story of seven sisters - Ruby, Garnet, Sapphire, Amethyst, Emerald, Diamond and Pumice - who live in the Castle of Gems. Each of the sisters wants to marry Prince John, but he can only choose one. So the seven sisters turn to two witches, Barfette and Hurlish, to cast spells against each other. The witches' nephews eventually recognize the consequences of the sisters' nastiness and try to un-do the spells.
Lake Middle School will be taking "Seven Nasty Princesses" on the road also, when it goes to Middleton Elementary for a performance.
"We get to tour with it this year," play director Tami Provencher said. "We're kind of excited to be able to do that."
Provencher said she landed on "Seven Nasty Princesses" for this year's show because it allowed for a wide range of characters since each of the princesses has her own characteristic trait. For example, Emerald is a dancer, Pumice loves clothes, Amethyst sings and Ruby is obsessed with her smile.
"There's a lot of really broad characters that the actors could sink their teeth into," Provencher said.
Provencher said she also chose the play because it was a fun show that allowed the cast to experiment with slapstick comedy.
"Personally, as a director I do like the comedic bent - that's something that's really fun to do," she said. "And as an actor, my favorite thing to do on stage is get a really good laugh -I love the feeling it gives me."
Elise Hallstrum, who plays the witch Barfette, said has enjoyed being able to tap into her comedic side.
"The humor is so silly" she said. "It can be the smallest thing, but it will get a huge laugh. I love being on stage and being able to get a laugh."
Provencher said she had to spend some time with her actors teaching them slapstick skills and educating them about physical comedy.
"I had to make sure they know how to do it on stage without injuring themselves," she said.
Provencher said she is excited about the show and is optimistic the audience will enjoy it.
"I think there's enough jokes for a middle school audience and an adult audience," she said. "Comedy and laughter is just such an amazing function of who we are as human beings."
Lake Middle School's production of "Seven Nasty Princesses" will be Nov. 10-12 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $4 for adults, $3 for students and children under 5 years old are free.

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
Texas Senators Friday approved a redistricting plan that would make permanent the electoral boundaries for Congress, the state House and Senate that were used for the 2012 elections.
Democrats criticized the legislation and offered alternatives, but it was clear from the outset the Republicans had the votes to push through the interim electoral boundaries. The Texas House and U.S. Congressional boundaries were passed on a 16-11 party line vote.
Dallas Democrat Royce West, a member of the Senate Redistricting Committee, offered an amendment that would create a new congressional district in North Texas designed to give Hispanic voters the chance to elect their candidate of choice.
There are currently two minority districts in North Texas. The newly created Congressional District 33 is represented by Rep. Marc Veasey, D-Fort Worth. The Dallas County anchored Congressional District 30 is represented by Eddie Bernice Johnson, D-Dallas. Veasey and Johnson are black.
"We have the ability to create a congressional district where Hispanics have the opportunity to elect the candidate of their choice," West said.
But the author of the bills, Republican Kel Seliger of Amarillo, managed to table the amendment.
Seliger, chairman of the Senate Redistricting Committee, said the court-drawn interim maps meet federal standards.
"I believe this map is fair and legal," he said of the controversial congressional boundaries.
The Texas House is expected to approve the interim maps next week. And Gov. Rick Perry, who called lawmakers into a special session to approve the current electoral boundaries, is expected to sign the redistricting bills into law.
Court challenges will follow, since activists and Democrats contend the maps, in some instances, violate the voting rights of minority residents.
But Republicans contend the maps are legal. They point out that they were drawn by a federal judicial panel in San Antonio during last year's redistricting court fight.

We chose the Davidson Inn for our vacation from the UK, not wanting to stay in a large impersonal Hotel and we couldn't have picked a better place! The Inn is situated in a great location, just off the Main street which has shops, cafes and restaurants but is quiet at night. The bedroom was large (by UK standards), well equipped and very clean. Breakfast, consisting of fruits, cereals and lots of sweet things was taken in the elegant lobby which made for a great time to meet other guests however what made this place special was the warmth and friendliness of the all the staff. We were made so welcome and at the end of our 5 night stay we felt as if we were leaving family. Would love to return sometime and can thoroughly recommend. P.S. If you can get a Pedicab tour from Gordon (the boss) you will see how passionate he is about his town!
We stayed at Davidson Village Inn for four nights in August as we were in town for a 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration. We were so delighted with the staff's warm welcome and the ongoing dialog over the next four days. We found the Inn to be so charming. We loved the fresh hot coffee with the lovely complimentary continental breakfast each morning and the staff always around to make conversation. We also loved the educational pedicart tour....we really gave the driver a workout as he worked hard up and down the hills! What a guy! Davidson is a beautiful area and we enjoyed our stay enough to hopefully return someday. THANK YOU ALL at Davidson Village Inn! Ray and Barb, Minneapolis, MN.
My wife and I have been staying here about once a year for ten years or so and we have always found it to be very comfortable, clean, and friendly. The rooms are large and their Internet site details information on each. The Inn is across the street from the Davidson College campus and several fine restaurants are an easy walk away. A free cold breakfast is provided with fresh fruit, pastries, cereal, hard boiled eggs, and bagels and bread to toast. If the weather is good, take a morning walk around the lovely campus with its wide brick walkways and stately buildings.
For those of you visiting Davidson College, this small inn just across Main Street from campus is a great base camp for visiting the college. Staff very friendly and lobby has a home-like feel to it. Rooms very large and clean.
Davidson Village Inn is beautiful, perfectly located, and obviously well run. My room was larger and more comfortable than I expected, and the staff was gracious and efficient. When I return to the area I will definitely stay here again
Unfailingly great service and attention to detail. Many dining options within walking distance. Davidson is a wonderful town in which to relax and unwind.
The Inn is staffed by friendly, knowledgeable people. The rooms and atmosphere provide a welcome respite from the stresses and hustle-bustle of traveling.
My daughter & I stayed here while visiting Davidson College. The location is unbeatable within walking distance of campus, restaurants & shops. Our room was spacious & comfortable and we were pleased and surprised to have tea & cookies waiting when we checked in. We were both too tired to wake up in time for breakfast but I am sure it was fabulous. If my daughter chooses Davidson, this will be our favorite place to stay.
We were pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the Inn. This is a gem of a place for lodging. You really get a sense of homeyness here. From the people at the desk to the Innkeeper to the other personnel, you get this sense and you get first-class treatment. Their friendliness was unsurpassed. We really felt at home. The rooms were so spacious, from the bed to the size of the bathroom - and very clean. And the continental breakfast was certainly more than adequate. Kudos to the owner and all the other people who work there.
Outstanding! I will stay there again in a heartbeat. The service was impeccable, the room was spotless and I wanted to take the pillowtop bed home with me! You simply can not go wrong if you book your next visit to Charlotte/Davidson and stay here. Restaurants, coffee shops, a CVS and shopping are within a stones throw from the hotel. It's the perfect set up for a traveler. The Davidson College track is within a five miniute walk for those of us who must work out when we travel. Seriously, it's the perfect set up.
Have stayed at this charming Inn several times and always enjoyed it. It is close to excellent dining and the heart of the town of Davidson and Davidson College.
We felt that the entire staff was genuinely happy that we were staying with them! Davidson is such a wonderful place, and the folks at the Inn make you feel like you are a temporary resident of this picture perfect town! OUr son is a student at Davidson College, and staying at the Inn could not be more convenient to campus. Since the owners of the Inn are Davidson Alumni, they are totally connected to the College and the students, faculty and staff! The cozy living room is perfect for evening relaxation in front of the fire, the library provides reading options, the staff is very willing to make excellent restaurant recommendations. If you want the all around perfect Davidson experience....stay at the Davidson Village Inn.
Wonderful establishment, friendly staff, convenient location. All around outstanding experience
The Davidson Village Inn was a nice experience. The room was comfortable and spacious. The breakfast had a variety of items to please. I also appreciated the fact that they have an agreement with the local YMCA which was conveniently located down the street.
we loved our stay . Very welcoming. Will definitely come back.
Lovely local inn with historical ambiance. The staff, from the front desk to the breakfast servers, to the cleaning crew, were fantastic. Every corner of this place is very clean. Shower has great water pressure, something sometimes lacking in this type of inn. The bed and bedding was only average (needs upgrade to duvets/sheets/pillow top), but everything else about the stay was wonderful
The Davidson Inn is my first choice of places to stay when I am in town to visit my daughter at Davidson College. I am made to feel at home from the moment I arrive!
I've stayed at the DVI several times while my daughter's been at Davidson College (and while we were considering Davidson.) The lobby/living area is always warm and welcoming, with books, newspapers and a nice fire in the winter. The staff is incredibly friendly. And the rooms are perfect. And it's steps from everything on Main Street and the college. It's always my first choice in Davidson.
Nice place to stay. Convenient to everything in Davidson and only a short distance from the highway to get to Charlotte or other areas. Cosy spot.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Davidson Village Inn. The Innkeepers were warm and friendly and we loved staying downtown in the most beautiful village of Davidson and in walking distance of the college. Rob Peterson (Greenville, NC)
This is a comfortable and very pleasant inn in a pretty college town. The breakfast was quite good and the staff exceptional. It met both our needs and our expectations.
The inn is right in the heart of downtown Davidson, easy walking distance from a few restaurants and virtually across the street from the college. Everything about the place is well done -- well kept up, good service, breakfast with more options than you might expect. The rooms are styled very traditionally. The inn can sell you (cheap) a guest pass to the local YMCA which has a terrific gym (and is being renovated now (Nov '11)). Highly recommended.
All went very well. The people were friendly and helpful. All around outstanding
What a pleasant surprise. It was just lovely.
Great hotel - good breakfast and fabulous location for those of us visiting Davidson College - would definitely stay there again.
My husband and I love staying at the Davidson Inn!! For families of Davidson College students it's perfect. Just a few steps off campus and around the corner from the shops in Davidson's quaint little town. The Inn is well run and the owners and staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are quiet, spacious and immaculately clean. They offer a lovely continental breakfast and a simple late afternoon tea, both very satisfying. I would highly recommend this wonderful Inn.
The Inn was beautiful, upgraded, and the amenities were fabulous! Excellent location in downtown without all the tourism. The heating system did not function, however, the Inn staff immediately installed a portable heating unit to suited just fine.
This was my third visit to the Inn. The location and atmosphere make it perfect for visits to Davidson College. I particularly enjoy conversations with Gordon, Rebecca, and their staff. The small touches for the breakfast and afternoon tea add to the enjoyment of the visit. I hope to visit Davidson more often in the future and plan to stay at the Inn. Spencer Redding
Fantastic visit, really nice clean rooms and very friendly staff!
From the moment I walked in the door, I felt at home. The staff was wonderful and helpful, the room clean and quiet. I especially enjoyed the afternoon tea and the quiet crackle of the logs in the fireplace on Sunday morning. Davidson Village Inn is an absolute pleasure.

Another weekend of travel basketball is in the books. The most recent victim of the spring tour: Hensley Memorial aka Spiece. It's a favorite because of the roots of the tournament. Bill Hensley built the event brick by brick into one of the crown jewels of the spring. Hensley died a few years ago while jogging and his son Todd has continued the tradition.
Last weekend provided a good backdrop to evaluate and spend a few minutes with some of the best talent the Midwest has to offer.
2013 forward Nigel Hayes (Toledo, Ohio/Whitmer) has offers from Xavier, Cincinnati and Toledo. Wisconsin is looking and the behind-the-scenes chatter indicated he might be waiting on the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Sitting squarely on the fence of being a mid- to high-major recruit is combo-guard Kevin Johnson (Cincinnati, Ohio/Summit CD). Mid-major powers VCU and Creighton offered; VCU has since added a point guard. Cincinnati, Xavier, Dayton, Cornell and Toledo also have their eye on him.
Speaking of risers, Martez Walker (Detroit, Mich./Pershing) is going to win over admirers. Providence, DePaul, Southern Cal, Oakland, Eastern Michigan, Iowa and Iowa State, according to Walker, offered. The Trojans? In Michigan? Yep, they have his pal Maurice Jones.
Sharpshooting wing Nate Taphorn (Pekin, Ill./Pekin) owns offers from Northwestern, Colorado, Bradley and Wisconsin-Green Bay. When asked what he needs to work on: "Whatever my coach tells me to do," Taphorn said. Taphorn's answer underlines an underrated quality: having two feet in. That means when he arrives on campus he's bought into the big picture and coaching him will be less of a struggle than some of his peers. Don't think college coaches aren't noticing.
Point guard E.C. Matthews (Romulus, Mich./Romulus) has himself a strong list of places he could lace them up for. He counts Iowa State, Southern Cal, Xavier and Rhode Island amongst his offers.
Nick Fuller (Sun Prairie, Wisc./Sun Prairie) is more than a shooter. He knows his way around a basketball court. Butler, Creighton, Nebraska, Rice and Milwaukee offered. Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin are peeking at him. The Badgers will get a good look at him because he's travel teammates with commitment Bronson Koening.

Key Research Findings:
Scientists at Luquillo LTER have shown that carbon cycling in tropical forests is highly sensitive to climate. Relatively small increases in temperature can decrease the ability of tropical forests to store carbon recently captured by photosynthesis, thus accelerating climate change.
By developing a model that simulates how forests react to multiple disturbances, scientists at Luquillo LTER found that interactions between hurricane and human impacts lead to forests with new compositions of tree species.
Research at Luquillo LTER led to the discovery of DNRA and Feammox, novel pathways for nitrogen loss from terrestrial ecosystems. Understanding these pathways will help scientists predict the sources and magnitudes of greenhouse gas emissions and how human activities, such as irrigation and fertilization, affect water and air quality in tropical regions.
The Luquillo Experimental Forest (LEF) has been a center of tropical forestry research for nearly a century. In addition, the LEF is a recreation site for over a half a million people per year, a water supply for approximately 20% of Puerto Rico's population, a regional center for electronic communication, and a refuge of Caribbean biodiversity. It is the goal of the USDA Forest Service and the University of Puerto to promote and maintain the forest's role as a center of active and dynamic scientific inquiry. However, to maintain the ecological integrity of the forest while balancing the many demands placed upon it's resources, certain protocol is required. This guide provides the major protocols that govern research in the LEF. These protocols are designed to help researchers protect the forests, obey the law, create an amiable and non-discriminatory work environment, and provide a historical record for future scientists.
LUQ LTER 1 was submitted in 1988, LTER 2 in 1994 and the current one, LTER 3 was first submitted in 2000, re-submitted and finally accepted in 2002.

Antz Extreme Racing
October 10, 2002 - Remember that movie Antz? Well, neither do we. But the good folks at Empire Interactive are nonetheless bringing out an Antz game, despite the fact that the movie came out four years ago and was quickly forgotten, except for that one part when the big soldier ant got ripped apart by the evil termites and then said he couldn't feel his legs, which were no longer there. And, sadly, this game will also be quickly forgotten, unless it has the big soldier guy who gets ripped apart by termites and then can't feel his legs, which are no longer there. It has that guy, right? Wrong.

The only people brave enough to place a bet on a horse other than Australia's best Black Caviar next race in the 2011 Schweppes Stakes on Cox Plate Day are those doing so in the special 'Without The Favourite' markets being offered by bookies around the country and that's because Black Caviar will win, but by how much?
Peter Moody's undefeated turf star Black Caviar is the people's horse of modern day racing, and her supporters will be out in force at Moonee Valley on Saturday to see her join the mighty Queenslander Bernborough and the outstanding 1890 Melbourne Cup winner Carbine on 15 consecutive victories.
In Moonee Valley Race 5 at 3:20pm (AEDST), the $300,000 Group 2 Schweppes Stakes (1200m), fans will be able to watch the queen run her way to another win and continue the fairytale story that is Black Caviar's career.
With just four horses, of notable mediocrity compared to the favourite, taking on Black Caviar in the Schweppes Stakes 2011 it is little wonder the best odds you can find on the champion to win is $1.04 at Luxbet.
Moody is also more confident than ever in his stable ace, saying she had come on well since her first-up run a fortnight ago.
"I think her first-up run's brought her on and I'm very pleased with her," he said.
"Naturally she's cleaned up in the coast a bit, she's a little brighter, she's a bit lighter on her feet and she knows it's game time again.
"I had to probably do a little bit more because the race didn't take a lot out of her, so she's had a couple of nice gallops and it's looking good for Saturday.
"I really think she's coming to her peak of her powers now.
"She's had no issues physically or mentally, she's in great shape and where previously she's had little niggles here and there, this time around she's 100 percent."
Join now to bet with
The question, then, becomes not whether Black Caviar will win the Schweppes Stakes but what her winning margin will be.
At Australia's best bookie Luxbet punters can bet on the Schweppes Stakes winning margin, which is really how many lengths Black Caviar will thrash her rivals by.
Official Schweppes Stakes Winning Margin
Moonee Valley Race 5 – 22/10/2011
- Dead heat to 2.49 Lengths – $5.50 Luxbet
- 2.5 Lengths to 3.99 Lengths – $4.20 Luxbet
- 4.0 Lengths to 5.99 Lengths – $3.20 Luxbet
- 6.0 Lengths or More – $2.60 Luxbet
The favourite Schweppes Stakes result here is for Black Caviar to win by six or more lengths.
Yes she is far superior to any of the four rivals she faces tomorrow, but Black Caviar has only won by such a large margin once in her stunning career to date when she beat home Demerit by six in the Listed Blue Sapphire Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield on May 2, which was just her second career start.
Black Caviar's last-start win in the Group 2 Schillaci Stakes (1000m) was by four and a half lengths over Karuta Queen, while at Moonee Valley over 1200 metres her biggest winning margin was 5.5 lengths in last year's Schweppes Stakes when she beat home the late-great Hot Danish.
Collectively over 14 starts for 14 wins Black Caviar has beaten her closest rivals by 46.9 lengths, for an average of 3.35 lengths.
While she certainly has the freakish ability to win by six or more on Saturday, Black Caviar isn't at her grand final yet with the $1 million Group 1 Patianck Farm Classic (1200m) still to go at Flemington on Emirates Stakes Day, Saturday November 5.
That's why the Races.com.au team are tipping Black Caviar to coast to a commanding, but reserved for her ability, winning margin of 2.5 – 3.99 Lengths which is paying $4.20 at Luxbet.

Nobody among the 52,000 in the University of Washington Stadium was more elated with the success of Sonny Sixkiller's debut as a passing quarterback than Jim Owens. The head coach slapped Sonny's helmet and grabbed his hand after Sixkiller threw his third touchdown of the day in the third quarter.

Park Run this morning and it was freezing, not the best weather for running fast but gave it a go. Everyone sprints off and I take quite a lot of pride in the fact that after a few hundred metres I start to reel people in and that no one goes past me. In the last half mile I was catching more and more people, each time going past someone focusing on the next person and so on. One of the final people I caught took some cathcing and as I got closer I noticed that they were wearing sandals and I immediatly thought about the Tarahumara, an ancient tribe of people who run ultra marathons for run, talked about in the book Born To Run. I also thought, bloody hell, there is a bloke in sandals, that can't be right!
Afterwards I had to go and speak to the guy and it turned out there were a few of them running in Luna Sandals and promoting minimalist running. He told me that he has run over 2000 miles a year in them, including the odd ultra marathon….. Maybe that can be my next challenge.
My eldest attended a specialist rugby class being organised by a local senior school with top coaches. Only a few kids turned up and they had to go and play with the football session instead. How they can't get enough kids to attend a specialist Rugby session in Norhtampton is beyond me, that can't be right.
My sister came over this evening to drop some rugby kit off so we got the kids to bed and ordered a curry. Now that is right!

I am hoping to find a fun place for a birthday dinner for my daughter who will be turning ten. It would be fun to find a place that creates a hoopla(!!) for birthdays or if not, a fun Japanese, Thai, Korean, Burmese, Indian or Chinese restaurant since those are her favorites. If the place with all the hoopla is an ice cream centric place there would need to a non-dairy option because she can not have dairy. We live in Santa Monica and it is a school night; so a place nearby would be perfect.
Thank you so much!
I can't wait to see what you come up with!!

Gyokuro Kin, is truly a great gyokuro at a fair price.
Open the bag and you can instantly smell the delicious fresh sweetness this tea gives. The leaves are an even mix of broken and unbroken needles with a rich dark green color.
I brewed this tea following very closely Den's brewing guide using 160F water and 1 and a half min steep time in a Kyusu.
The resulting brew had a very subtle sweet aroma with a very saturated green color (mostly due to a large amount of particles in the cup). This gyokuro is sweet and full bodied with a slight bitterness that becomes more apparent as your cup cools down. My second cup, this time brewed at 180F, had a much stronger bitter finish but still had the sweetness of the first.
Overall, I like this gyokuro. It has the sweetness that you expect, but with a heavy mouthfeel similar to that of a fukamushi sencha. This combination makes a heartier brew than other gyokuros, perfect to drink with a meal.

Comedy show to take place in Parkers this Saturday
Clean and clever comedy? That is what you'll find when you attend the Parkers Prairie Comedy Fundraiser starring Rox Tarrant, Wild Bill Bauer, David Harris and Patrick Ryan.
The event, set for Saturday, April 4 at 8 p.m. at the Praire Event Center, is a benefit for the Lonnie Schultz Memorial Scholarship Fund.
Lonnie Schultz, who is Tarrant's brother, was killed in a tragic hunting accident in October of 1999.
Schultz was a beloved friend to many. The scholarship fund was initiated by Schultz' friends as a way to keep his memory alive, and to also promote education in his hometown of Parkers Prairie.
Each year, the Lonnie Schultz Memorial Scholarship Fund raises money to provide one or two scholarships to selected graduating seniors from Parkers Prairie High School.
The scholarship is in its 10th year, and so to celebrate and honor Schultz, the comedy show was produced.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit the scholarship fund.
Tickets for the show only are $15 in advance or $17 at the door.
For VIP reserved seating, which can only be purchased in advance, tickets are $20.
Tickets are available at the Parkers Prairie City Hall, Dick's Standard, Sammy's and RK's Café, which are all in Parkers Prairie.

Monthly Archives: March 2010
Sorry things have been a little quiet here at TWBITW—it took us longer to sleep off our South by Southwest hangovers than we had anticipated. Also, our ears are still ringing from seeing GWAR. If you've never been sonically assaulted by Oderus and co. before in person, seriously—we can't recommend it highly enough. Just plan on taking a few vacation days after the show—you'll need them.
Anyway, today's weird band is another oldie but goodie, and comes to us all the way from the former Yugoslav Republic of Slovenia. Formed in 1980, when Yugoslavia was still under Communist rule, Laibach was a sort of proto-industrial rock band-slash-performance art project that managed to simultaneously celebrate and mock the trappings of totalitarianism in all its forms. They've described their own music and iconography as "radically ambiguous" and, judging from the range of responses they've gotten, they seem to have succeeded: Detractors and critics (not to mention the censorship-happy Communist regime in Yugoslavia, which frequently banned the group's performances) have accused them of being fascists, Stalinists, Nazi sympathizers and/or radical Slovenian nationalists, while their fan base seems to include everyone from arty types who treat the band's militaristic costumes and Wagnerian martial-industrial music as sly satire of fascist/skinhead culture to…well, actual skinheads.
Is all of this starting to sound a little too much like a post-modernist graduate thesis project? Well, not to worry, because here's the most brilliant thing about Laibach: Much of their music is actually highly accessible, and frequently takes the form of Teutonic/industrial-style covers of familiar pop music. Laibach have tackled everything from the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil" to the Beatles' "Let It Be" to Europe's "Final Countdown." They even did "Jesus Christ Superstar" and an album of national anthems called Volk. If you thought Jimi Hendrix did weird things to "The Star-Spangled Banner," wait till you hear Laibach's version of it.
As great as Laibach's covers can be, their most memorable musical moments tend to come on their original compositions, when the jackboots hit the dance floor and all "Heil!" breaks loose. (Sorry, we couldn't resist.) Although the "Fear the Kittens" video for this song (courtesy of Rathergood.com) is pretty awesome, it still can't top the original.

Sir Ivan
File this guy under "so completely ridiculous, he's actually kind of awesome." Seriously, we're really hoping this post gets us invited to one of the parties at his 15,000 sq ft. castle in the Hamptons. Yeah, we're whores.
"Sir Ivan" Wilzig is the son of a billionaire banker (and Auschwitz survivor) who quit the family business in 2000 to chase his dreams—which, in his case, apparently consisted of dressing up like a superhero and making really bad techno versions of classic '60s protest songs. (Here's a wild guess: Shortly before quitting his banking job, Ivan had a really mind-blowing night of ecstasy-fueled debauchery at some New York nightclub and possibly a candy-raver afterparty.)
The punchline to Sir Ivan's story, of course, is that his cheesy Eurodisco versions of "Imagine" and "San Francisco" were very successful. There's really no end to the market for bad dance music—even when it's delivered by a middle-aged dude in a superhero cape. Actually, these days, every electronic act from the Bloody Beetroots to Deadmau5 dresses up in weird costumes, so maybe Ivan was really ahead of the curve.
Anyway, after laying low for a few years (apart from being a contestant on a reality TV show called Who Wants To Be A Superhero? and making this amazing appearance on VH1's The Fabulous Life), Sir Ivan is back and promising to release a full-length album called I Am Peaceman later this year. The album features 15 tracks done in his inimiatable style, which he calls rocktronica, which is actually a pretty major improvement over "Technippy", which is what he used to call his stuff (cause it's techno + hippie music…get it? yeah, nevermind).
The first single from I Am Peaceman is a techno version of—I shit you not—"Kumbaya." The video for it is below. It's pretty painful stuff, but tough it out til the 1:38 mark, when there's a batshit-crazy closeup of Ivan that's well worth the price of admission. He's like the Jewish Tom Jones—if the Welsh tiger had gobbled some shrooms at Burning Man and stumbled into one of the dance tents.
Mo Wolpert
We're kind of going a little off the reservation with this one: Moritz "Mo" Wolpert is clearly not a band, or even, strictly speaking, a musician. He's more of a multimedia artist who specializes in designing unique, very ornate instruments in a style that a lot of blogs refer to as "steampunk"–a somewhat annoying term that apparently refers to the fact that Wolpert's creations have a sort of Victorian sci-fi quality about them. If this guy isn't a huge Jules Verne and H.G. Wells fan, then slip some laudanum into our absinthe and say goodnight.
Wolpert has designed several amazing gizmos, including an analog sequencer called a Schaltzentrale, with a brass body covered in elaborate etchings, and something called a Trafokasten, which as near as we can tell is sort of a cross between a musical saw and a Theremin. His most well-documented contraption is also his most complex: a massive, multipiece device called the Heckeshorn, which uses various cranks and pulleys and tubes and God knows what else to produce all sorts of eerie tones that a player can apparently manipulate via a set of lap-steel-like strings across the top. It also sports what appears to be a rubber mouse, but we're not really sure what that's for.
Wolpert's website and MySpace are all in German, as is most of his press–and even though Jake took two years of German in high school, all he really remembers is "Ich habe hunger" and "Wo sind die toiletten?" so he wasn't much help. So we honestly know very little about this guy, although we could at least figure out that he was born in Bremen, Germany in 1966 and is now based in Berlin. He hand-lathes all his devices himself, and works with a guy named Christian Gunther on the electronics. Pretty nifty stuff.
Update: Apparently the purpose of the Schaltzentrale was to semi-automate the performance of the Heckeshorn and the Trafokasten; after a bit of digging, we finally found this video of Wolpert and a group of musicians putting all three devices through their paces. The video is nearly two hours long and kind of demystifies Wolpert's creations a little, since it's all shot in a brightly lit studio and features a bunch of people in street clothes wandering in and out of frame to tweak whatever's playing. But it's worth watching just to get a sense of how many moving parts there are, and how many bizarre, creepy sounds it can all produce when everything's patched through the Schaltzentrale (which we've also since learned, via the comments on another blog, is German for "central switchboard").

Cisco turns the Flip into a Flop
5 comments post a comment
I cannot believe it. Just two years after Cisco bought the startup company that created the Flip Video - the most popular video camera in America - they've decided to kill it as a product.
I cannot believe it. Just two years after Cisco bought the startup company that created the Flip Video – the most popular video camera in America – they've decided to kill it as a product.
My mother-in-law (who obviously has too much time on her hands) just sent me a link to an article on Yahoo Finance News that recounts this tale of woe (Click Here to see this article).
She knew I would be interested because she knows how much I love my own Flip Video camera that my wife (Gina The Gorgeous) gave me as a Christmas present a couple of years ago. I carry it with me everywhere and often email small video snippets of what's going on in my life to my dear old mom in England. I also use it to take little videos of "stuff" that I subsequently upload to YouTube, such as This Clip I filmed a couple of months ago about a Pico Projector.
This news blows me away. I cannot wrap my brain around it. I'm not altogether sure why Cisco purchased the Flip company in the first place. But once they had taken the plunge, there were all sorts of things that they could have done with it, like giving it a wireless interface, for example.
And then I think to myself: "OK, Cisco messed up. They are a humongous company that just happened to drop the ball with this one." But then I say to myself: "But the Flip Video is THE MOST POPULAR VIDEO CAMERA IN AMERICA!!!" (Yes, I know I'm shouting; I'm sorry.)
The thing is, if the plonkers who are running Cisco (and I use the word "running" with a wry expression on my face) feel that they are incapable of doing anything useful with the Flip, then why do they have to close it down? Why not sell it to someone else with half a brain who can pick the ball up and run with it?
There is much gnashing of teeth and rending of garb in my office at the moment, let me tell you!

* Prices may differ from that shown
Well theres nothing much to say except brilliant and well worth it! :)
I needed three for my Play Station Portable, Mobile nokia 6300 and archos and I am so glad I got them because this really is the ideal solution to fix your memory problems. The installation was a bit of a bother becasue of lack of instructions and it took me half an hour to finally put it into place. The packaging was really good and so rest assured you will get this in one piece lol :) And now for the most important part ... performance ! I am glad to say that this really is a gem because of its performance. Even for a beginner like me who isn't really into tech and stuff, I have successfully managed to transfer files from my pc onto the memory card using my laptop port with ease and without any hassle.
I would therefore recommend this product to anyone who needs to fix theor memory problems!
Now the picture shows a class 4 memoery card but the link goes to a class 6 one for £14.99. This is a great deal and this item is brilliant. At this price for 8Gb you are winning.
The space on this device is excelelnt for the price you pay and also for the size of it. 8GB is not the biggest but it will hold pretty much anything you throw at it. The card is great for storing videos, and music. I found that it is the best way to transport around files to my mates houses as the card is small and most somputers now have card readers, which the bundled adaptor means you can make use of.
The adaptor lets you put the card into any sd memory card slot, which as I mentioned most computers now use. This makes accessing your card easy and simple. There are no silly cables etc or weird gadgets you need just these 2 simple pieces.
It is reliable and has the best speeds you can get on a micro SD card and you will also find transend memory cards have good procesing speeds. This overall makes for a really nicely made micro sd card. Whether it is for a phone storage or other devices firstly make sure you devices will accept an 8gb card, as some devices will only recognise up to 2 gb and then you will find this purchase a waste.
As long as you check you will find that when you do use this card that it is one the best ones out there on the market.

Taking Autumn Olives from Field to Frenzy
One company is stepping-up against invasive autumn olives, the Invasivore way. By harvesting and selling them as "LycoBerries", autumn olives may be the first edible invasive you can order. I got in touch with Orin Zelenak, the founder of Lycoberries and we chatted about his idea to bring autumn olive, "From the Wild to You."
[pullquote align="right" textalign="left" width="30%"]
Fast Links:
Lycopene + Autumn Olive Berries = Lycoberry
Orin's approach to marketing autumn olives comes from two directions. First, he notes that the USDA has shown that the autumn olive berry contains 17 times as much lycopene as tomatoes but with a sweet and tart taste. Given evidence that lycopene has substantial health benefits, he feels autumn olive products could make a significant contribution to public health in the US. Second, Orin is betting that building an autumn olive industry begins by creating "win-win" partnerships with stakeholders who see it as a threat, and maximizing harvests while reducing invasive spread.

The plant itself is a bush which grows quickly in poor soil, is drought resistant, requires no inputs, fruits heavily and propagates by seed. The Lycoberry strategy is simple: cover the bush with netting for a few months each fall to harvest the crop (aided by shakers like for apples), simultaneously preventing those bushes from spreading fruit. Meanwhile, proceeds would be used to destroy plants outside the targeted harvested areas. Orin is now working with a network of foragers and processors across several states to collect berries in the wild and make "lycoberries" available online as frozen purees and powders suitable for smoothies, yogurt, seltzer, or as a dessert topping.
Lycoberry Prospects
Harvest of autumn olive could be a "win-win" and two important first steps are clear to Orin moving forward. One is the creation of innovative private / public partnerships dedicated to shaping autumn olive as an agroforestry crop. The other step is the emergence of brands which create market space and demand for autumn olive products. The Lycoberry brand is actively undertaking both.
When Invasivore first heard from Orin, his goal for Fall 2013 was to pick over 30,000 pounds of the fruit. When I talked with him after the harvest for an update it was clear 2013 was a year of research and development for lycoberries, though they still managed 4,000 pounds. Unfortunately, lycoberries aren't yet available to the public. But Invasivore.org isn't the public, now is it?.
