Former WCBS New York anchor Rob Morrison pleaded guilty today on two of three charges regarding an incident this past February with his wife, CBS MoneyWatch anchor Ashley Morrison.
Morrison pleaded guilty on second-degree threatening and disorderly conduct after agreeing with Judge Gary White's offer to participate in a Family Violence Education Program, the Stamford Superior Court clerk's office confirmed.
The anchor did not enter a plea for the felony strangulation charge. Morrison has said he did not choke his wife. Darien Police also claim he threatened to kill his wife while at police headquarters, which Morrison also refutes.
Morrison declined to comment, and deferred to his attorney, Robert Skovgaard, who did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Morrison earlier berated The Times for calling his lawyer, saying he gets charged $1,000 per phone call. He later told other news outlets he does not get charged that amount.
His next court date is scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 14.

To find the transmit power of your router, look for the FCC ID of the router, you can use that info to look up the transmit power. (600mw is nothing special since many routers are within that range now. (most commonly 350-500mw
They also provide graphs of the noise and for most wifi radios, they don't start pushign noise that degrades the signal quality until you start getting close to around 800mw
To find the highest stable transmit power, you need to look at the amplifiers of the wifi radio and then look for the datasheet which will give you an idea of what the max transmit power it was designed to handle.
For many smartphones, your transmit power will be around 25-50mw. (you can check the designed transmit power by looking at the chip model and finding a data sheet. (though that ma not be the true power you get as many companies will run the wifi radios at a lower transmit power to save battery.)
For my WNDR3700 was able almost double my performance at a long range by opening it up, then drilling some 0.25 inch holes and adding a few U.fl to RP-sma connectors then installing external 5dbi antennas. (and I didn't even boost the transmit power)
I feel that the biggest thing that is wrong with newer routers, is the use of internal PCB antennas.
Hey man, thanks for the comment!!
FirePro S10000 is "only" a two 8 pins power connectors card.
Thanks, noted.
Haha, that 'ADS' man, what the hell I don't even...
I forgot to ask after the Podcast, is PCPer still working on a possible write up on a "hackntosh" setup?
Great podcast as always, especially when tuning in live , its lot of fun and informative.
The part that Ryan twitted out was freaking hilarious, I had tears coming out , It was epic!
Is the ArmorSuit Military Shield the same as the Zag Protector Shield (advertised as Military Grade)?
If so, long-term, it collects grim/lint around seams and edges and looks disgusting. If the area is humid (air/palm of hand), it slowly slips/slide, then becomes gummy. Then, good luck cleaning it and re-applying it.
Short-term, it's great (2-4 months), but long-term, it's not worth it.
I'd prefer to try the nail polish liquid paint product (don't remember the real product name). Or other variants.

I'm #3!
Yeah, I know that's not something that someone is usually excited about, but I'll take 3rd place! I was able to snag another medal and take 3rd place in my age division. I think I finished around 12-13 overall.
I did beat my old personal best time, but was unable to hit my goal of 25 minute range. I was 10 seconds off of my goal. That's okay though, I think I'll manage :) I've come so far from where I was 70 lbs ago - I'll take it every time.
I finished in 26'09"
Yesterday, I took some time to make a playlist that would help me while I'm running. Sounds weird, maybe - but it worked. My second mile is always my worst mile, but not today. I was pretty happy with each mile that I ran. I made sure that I had some pump me up music in the middle of the playlist. The right playlist can make a world of difference!
It was a lot of fun, as usual, and I still have my 25 minute goal to shoot for. I will tell you though that after running this race -- I was spent!
...but I am fine now. It was a cold race too, but not something that a little coffee couldn't take care of!

The Best Thing to Come From the NFL
As I have confessed to you before, I am not a big football fan. There are many aspects of the game that I don't understand, that don't make sense to me, or that just plain bore me. I don't understand why they stop the clock after some plays, but not after others. How does a game that has four 15 minute quarters last for three hours on average?

hi all!!
I'm a frequent baker, but now I volunteered myself to make a 3 tiered cake for my best friend's Mother's birthday. I'm excited but also a bit nervous, it's my first attempt to try the Rose Factor for 14" round cakes, 9", and a small 4". have only 1-14" pan, 2 9" pans, and 1 small 4" pan. I was studing TCB last night and while I understand the concept, it's a bit intimidating for now.
I was requested to make hazelnut flavored cake with a fondant frosting. I'm thinking of making Rose's yellow base cake with maybe hazelnut extract, then make hazelnut cream for the filling.
I have 3 ovens at my friend's home, so I'm thinking of following Rose's advice of pouring the bigger pans, then re-calculating the leavening to pour the smaller pans. This way I can make 2 batches on 2 different days, and freeze the cakes a few days in advance of the party. The party is 4/23, so I'm planning on starting baking this weekend- 1 full week before.
Any tips? I would appreciate any thoughts or tips!
Thanks so much!

TAMPA, Fla. - Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officials say the black bear that was found in a Tampa tree was the same bear that was caught in downtown Orlando in 2012.
The Tampa Bay Times reports 70-year-old Eloy Perez pulled his barking dog back inside and dialed 911. When Hillsborough County Sheriff's deputies arrived, they found the bear atop a tree in Diaz' backyard.
FWC tells Local 6 the bear was first caught in June 2012 in downtown Orlando near Orange Blossom Trail and State Road 408. He will be relocated back to the Ocala National Forest, according to FWC.
By mid-morning Friday, deputies and wildlife officials shot the bear with tranquilizer darts. After two darts he fell from the tree onto pads set out to cushion his fall.
Earlier, the sheriff's office had asked television helicopters to move back because they were "scaring the bear."
A red tag on the bear's right ear will allow Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officials to track where he's been.

The Enemy Within
The city of Nuln lies at the southern tip of the Great Forest, at the focus of four provinces (Reikland, Sudenland, Averland and Stirland) and two rivers (the Reik and Aver). It is the most convenient place to cross the Reik before it enters the forest. Until just over 100 years ago, Nuln was the capital of The Empire. It was also a renowned university city – the first colleges having been established here by the Empress Agnetha, and the reputation of the city's professors still draws students from far and wide. Appropriately, one of the most imposing buildings in the city is the temple to Verena, which faces the main gateway, dominating the Westway with its collonaded facade. It is also the home of the Imperial School of Gunnery, supplying master gunners and trained artillerymen to the armies of The Empire.
Being located at such an important trade crossroads, it is not surprising that the city's markets are thriving. Traders bring all manner of goods from north and south, as well as locally grown wines and exceptionally fine metalwork from Sudenland. In any event, Nuln is a major stopping-off point from passenger traffic from the Barony of Sudenland and the County of Averland en route to Altdorf.
The current ruler of Nuln is the Countess Emmanuelle von Liebewitz, who is famous for throwing lavish parties and all-night balls in her splendid palace, which many regard as rivalling the Imperial court in Altdorf. Regarded as the most eligible spinster in The Empire, she attracts suitors from every corner the Old World.

Birthplace of nori
Nearly 300 years ago, the city of Ota, Japan, began aqua-farming of seaweed to make nori sheets.
Branches of bamboo or trees of that area were placed into the shallow waters in the autumn. This special seaweed grew on the branches. Since the waters in the area were shallow, very tall "geta" or wooden clogs that looked like stilts were used to harvest the seaweed that were growing on the branches. The people of Ota City were kept busy harvesting the seaweed in wooden boats, cleaning small batches by hand and removing tiny fish and debris, then chopping the seaweed, placing them in a wooden block on a bamboo mat, like the mats we use to roll sushi, then when dry enough to have formed a sheet, placing the sheets on bamboo mats and allowing them to dry in the sun. Ota City became known as having the best nori in all of Japan, and many other coastal areas of Japan started to take up the nori making industry.
However, in December 1962, the farming areas by the sea were reclaimed for the expansion of Haneda International Airport. To think we landed on the same area that once grew the best seaweed for nori!
The area of Ota City is still known for its nori and, in fact, we stopped by a shop that was 300 years old, selling nori and green tea called Otaku. The window displayed tea pots and tea cups of various shapes and sizes. As we walked in, we noticed the different grades of nori sheets. The least expensive is for making maki-zushi. The good quality nori sheets were to eat, starting from 540 yen (about $5.50) and working its way up to the most expensive at 2,100 yen (about $22) for 10 sheets. Otaku was a nori dealer of the old times and continues to purchase and sell nori from all over Japan as they did so for 300 years.
The clerks were very helpful and gave us samples of the least and the most expensive nori so we could taste the difference. She said these sheets were "motainai," or waste, and would not be used to make sushi. We could tell there was a difference in color and taste, the most expensive being the darkest and with the most seaweed taste.
There was furikake to scatter on rice, tsukudani or cooked nori, shredded and strips of nori using every bit of the nori. In the past, they even made paper with the seaweed that was not used to make nori.
In April 2008, Omori Nori Museum opened its doors to tell Ota City's nori story. The museum was built by the local people of the area who wanted everyone to know that their city was the birthplace of nori making.
Nori is a great health food. It has more calcium than one serving of cheese, more iron than beef, and more protein than eggs, and one sheet of nori has as much omega-3 fatty acids as in two whole avocados! In old Japan, it was thought to treat cancer, lower cholesterol, shrink goiters and tumors. It was used to detoxify the body of heavy metals, reduce water retention and helped with losing weight.
It was also said to reduce acne and treat dry skin. So keep eating sushi, musubi with nori, and furikake. Nori is great for your health.
Here is a recipe from The Seaside Restaurant for their award-winning furikake salmon from my cookbook, "Aunty Audrey's Big Island Eats:"

Cats Indoors
People who love their cats should keep them indoors, where they can be kept safe and won't be raiding the nests of dooryard birds. If allowed to run loose, cats are subject to catching parasitic infections and other diseases from the rest of the neighborhood's cats and at risk of being run over by vehicles.

All the parts look good, everything else works fine, locking block goes into battery, etc. Any help is greatly appreciated!

'm rarely negative on Yomadic. Mainly, because I've been travelling for five months, three continents, and a big handful of countries – so far. I've gained a big serving of perspective on the world we all live in. Which brings me to Berlin. If there's one thing I truly can't be negative about – its Berlin street art. Call it graffiti if you will. I'll continue to call it street art in this article. I have no preference. Either way, I find it difficult to think of a single example of street art or graffiti that has negatively effected any city, on any country, on Earth. When I say "destroyed", I mean it. As in "we destroyed that breakfast buffet, that bacon was unbelievable!". It's street slang thang. People, it's time for some perspective.
Cities around the world spend a sizeable fortune every day, removing street art and graffiti in the name of cleanliness and beautification. As with most things I disagree with, I can only assume this is due to the wishes of a vocal minority. Most cities have far higher priorities than removing graffiti – which by it's very nature is temporary. Indeed, in an Ironic twist, London authorities are now spending serious cash to protect some street art from decay, such is the appeal. Copenhagen Denmark, a success story when it comes to urban planning, embraces street art. As does Berlin.
Berlin street art is, in a word, prolific. In areas like Friedrichshain – a hip inner city Berlin district – tags, paintings, murals, political statements, fine art, and sculpture cover everything from houses to shop fronts, to trains and historical monuments. Sometimes, cars. And unless there had been an enormous influx of artists in the last few weeks, it's safe to say nobody is too interested in removing any of the art.
Despite this abundance of illegal street art and graffiti, or perhaps because of it, areas like Friedrichshain remain among the most desirable Berlin locations for Berliners and tourists alike. On streets that are particularly well endowed, a regular site is camera-toting tourists – smiling away and taking snaps of this incredibly raw, vibrant, and authentic display of art.
Most cities would frown upon this level of "destruction" or "vandalism", seeking to clean, sanitise and gentrify their inner-city areas. Which is a futile and ignorant attempt to attract the very same demographic that this inauthentic "beautification" repels. Could your city learn anything from Copenhagen, London, or Berlin? Most probably.
Berlin Street Art – A Tourist Attraction?
My own city, of Perth, Australia, is a typical example of how not to do things. A recent push to attract more inner city activity, has involved a "reactivation" of the many historical laneways the city has to offer. Grand Lane, in the center of the CBD, was one of the first targets for the City Council.
The first step was to clean the lane-ways of the existing patina of art, only to commission an out-of-state artist to spray-paint a mural (a collage of birds, no less) – at a cost to tax payers of almost $90,000 US dollars. Ironically, the lane-way has so far attracted no more tourists, locals, or businesses than it did before the government initiated program. The newly sterilised environment continues to be a burden to the local council, now spending funds to constantly clean the mural of any "unauthorised" street art in the same location.
One of the last fragments of the infamous Berlin wall is appropriately named "The East Side Gallery". Located on the river Spree, the wall is over one kilometer in length. On the street facing, more visible side, artists from around the world were invited to come and each paint a section. The local authorities later became concerned about these "legal" pieces of street art being "defaced" by "nonlegal" street art. A compromise has been reached, and it is a much better solution than the Grand Lane experiment of Perth.
On the other side of the East Side Gallery wall, "illegal" Berlin street artists have been allowed to take over. Personally, I find the raw energy of this river facing side – where local street artists (aka graffiti writers) have gone to town – much more interesting to check out. I'm not alone with this opinion, on the day I visited, it was this river facing side, hidden from passers-by, that was the main attraction for most visitors. Once again, the public have decided for themselves what is and what isn't "good" street art.
Art is an incredibly subjective thing. I worked for two years as manager for a contemporary art gallery, up until June this year. It was a busy gallery, and I learned a lot about the diversity of how different art appeals to different people. Street art is a tricky one for many people – despite it's popularity, there remains a lot of confusion about what is "acceptable", or even, what is and what isn't street art. At its basics – street art is art that's in the streets. This runs the gamut from intricate and technically skilled brush work paintings, through to the patina and layering of graffiti tags and murals. Suffice to say – which example of street art and graffiti may appeal to you, may not appeal to others – and vice versa.
With the proliferation of Berlin street art, there is of course the legality issue. Truth be told, many graffiti artists are not known for their respect of the convention of laws, nor personal property. Although the artists often abide to an unwritten code of what is an what isn't acceptable, this differs from city to city, and from artist to artist.
It is not the purpose of this article to discuss what is and what isn't acceptable in this respect. As with the subjectivity of the quality of the art, people have differing views on where street art should appear. Should it be restricted to public buildings? Is it acceptable to paint on somebodies apartment facade? These are only difficult questions if you personally allow them to be.
My personal opinion, is that graffiti writers/street artists are among the most talented and prolific artists there are in the world today. In this day, people around the world are rightly fascinated by street art and graffiti. Which makes Berlin such a spectacular destination for fans of pubic art. Berlin is renowned for it's heritage in street art and graffiti, for good reason.
That's my take. I dare say if you've got this far into the article, street art/graffiti is probably something that you enjoy. Berlin is an incredible city for this style of art, and Friedrichshain is as good a place as any to stay when you're visiting.
If you have any tips on where else in Berlin to find some good streets, or if you have your own opinions on street art or graffiti, feel free to let me know in the comments below. One thing I enjoy about this forum, is allowing people to express their opinions – whether they agree or disagree with me. It would be a pretty boring world if everyone agreed with each other, on matters of art especially.
Hope you enjoyed the photos of street art in Berlin.

Watch & Listen
If somewhere, in the vast expanse of the multiverse, there exists a planet where giant exotic birds twerk to trap and hard-style all day long under a blazing tropical sun, then DJ Snake is definitely from that planet. Hailing from Paris, France, the grammy-nominated producer exports a brand of party music so ferociously groovy that it instantly sets any party on fire, regardless of how steamy it may already be. His 2013 Jeffree's release "Bird Machine" is an infectious, staple trap anthem that brilliantly samples a bird whistle for the drop and has made a solid name for itself as one of the hottest songs of the year. It has received extensive play from the likes of Dillon Francis, Diplo, and Baauer, to name but a few, on some of the largest festival stages in the world. DJ Snake's ability to fuse fun, outrageous melodies with his genius trademark style makes it safe to say that we have a lot to be excited about when it comes to what we can expect next.

A new recycling scheme that was introduced to the Wiltshire area has set the area on track to meet its 2014 targets, reports wiltshire.gov.uk.
The measures, which were introduced by the Council at the start of the year, have seen the amount of garden waste, plastic bottles, and cardboard placed into recycling bins rise by 6 per cent from the previous years statistics,
This means that Wiltshire residents are now recycling approximately half of their waste materials.
There has also been a huge reduction in the amount of waste that is going to landfill. The best area for this is North Wiltshire, which has reduced its landfill waste by 22 per cent. This is good news for the area, as Landfill Tax is set to increase from £64 per tonne this year, to £80 per tonne in 2014.
Talking about the results, Toby Sturgis, Wiltshire Council cabinet member for waste services, told salisburyjournal.co.uk: "Residents in Wiltshire are to be congratulated on this fantastic achievement. It is tremendous news and shows people have really embraced the green culture and we are right on track to meet the 2014 targets."
He continued: "Clearly the new kerbside recycling collections are encouraging people to recycle and compost more of their waste."

I hate my boyfriend sometimes but i love him too much to leave
my boyfriend and i have been "together" for almost 3 and a half years. we are both 21 and have both lived in MI all our lives. at the beginning of this school year he went off to school in VA. this has really sucked but hasnt been as bad as i thought it would be. i see him once every 1 and a half months which is pretty good. throughout our whole relationship weve broken up several times and tried other people but it obviously never worked. we could never keep our minds off of each other. hes really critical and judgmental and im so not. we disagree about almost everything. he has broken my heart into a thousand pieces and i have done the same to him. and we always try to leave each other thinking, you know, this will just never work, but that never lasts more than a week. we also try to say to each other that we are going to just go with the flow. we love each other and thats all that matters. but that never works either. our differences are always getting in the way it seems. but at the same time when we are together i feel like the happiest girl in the word. i could fly. he can make me feel so great about myself. he would do anything for me and i know it. we build each other up and make each other better people. which i know is very important in a relationship but i think the real problem is that sometimes with some things we both struggle with sacrificing for each other. i feel like hes so selfish sometimes. he can never be wrong. and when he is he doesnt admit it. ahh idk im just rambling and contradicting myself. but thats how our relationship is. just back and forth all the time. i just never know whats right. i love this kid with all of my heart and i know it. and i know that he loves me just the same. we have been through a lot together and we arent two stupid kids that just dont know what we want. we both want to get married but it just sucks cause every time we fix everything and everything is perfect a few days will go by and he will say something that really pisses me off. i think that my problem is that i dont ever tell anyone about my feelings. i keep everything inside. i feel awkward talking to anyone about how i feel except with my boyfriend but most of the time my feelings are about him so he cant be the only one i talk to. soo because i keep everything bottled up, sometimes when he says things i just want to(and sometimes do) just explode on him. and i feel like im messing everything up between us. the main reason i am even writing this is because i need to let some of this out and i know that someone will read it. it just makes me feel better that someone knows how i feel. so if anyone does read this then i guess all i have to say is thank you for taking the time. i really appreciate it, let me know what you think.

How are your up-cycling efforts going? Do you find much of your recycling efforts go towards down-cycling instead? Do you have any idea what either if those terms mean? Neither did I until yesterday. How many of us in the "green knowledge" fields do?
When often use terms that we're more appropriate to the past. Terms like "garden center", "nurseryman", or "recycling" are somewhat archaic. How many places that sell horticultural supplies are truly the "center" of most peoples gardening efforts anymore? 20 years ago there was only one place to buy horticultural supplies, the local garden center. Not today. The term "nurseryman" really doesn't describe what most people selling garden supplies in retail do these days.
I am wondering if semantics may be a larger impediment to the survival of the "local garden center" than we think. Do the younger generations just entering into their love affair with greenery even know what we mean when we say, "garden center"? I don't know. It caught me, and a roomful of Sacramento "Master Gardeners" (another outdated term?) by surprise when the term up-cycling was used last night. None of us knew, until someone online looked it up for us.
Words are powerful symbols. Maybe it's time to be more imaginative, and update our terminology to reflect the world we live in today? I am not suggesting we rush into making any huge changes yet. We should however open our minds to the idea that how we describe ourselves or our offerings, may not relate in tomorrows world.

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

While you sleep I tell you all of the things I keep inside throughout day.
Now that you can hear but not listen I find them much easier to say.
My hopes, my dreams, my fears, and everything in between
Your subconscious hears so keen, or so it seems.
My tongue is soft; I speak so sweetly
Knowing your reaction will never greet me.
Tonight will be different in what I want you to know.
It has everything to do with what I can't help but show.
I hold no claim to any religion but you've given me a place for my faith.
Somewhere it will never stale or lose its lavish taste.
You've shown me something I can see, touch, and feel,
And so before it I choose to kneel.
I know I don't say it but I miss you every day.
Sitting, thinking of the perfect words to be my choice,
Yet when you call I can't find any of the right words to say.
I'm just happy to finally hear your voice.
Even just a moment is enough to sooth my heavy heart;
Fearing the ends of conversations knowing we'll have to part.
I'll never be too far from you, always within arm's reach,
And in your days of darkness I'll be the light that you will seek.
I'll never let you leave too far from me, I'll stay close behind you in this world;
Secretly protecting what is mine, you will always be my girl.
I only want the best for you so the best of me I will employ.
Faithfully yours, I will always be your boy.
I close my eyes and kiss your soft sweet lips
And see the very best of you in loving bliss.
I see past the physical which makes you attractive
And focus on the things I can't see in which I'm attracted.
Your thoughts I'd love to hear them all.
Of the things you speak disinterest never makes its call.
My day will come, I know someday I'll be the only one.
And you I will pursue viciously,
Because I've given you the greatest gift I can give, to love unconditionally.
Yes our day will come, I know someday we'll be as one.
And you I will pursue viciously,
Because I've given you the greatest gift I can give… to love unconditionally.

You have permission to use these poems of mine on your terrific sight if you wish, from a series of Desert Poems I have written. Joe DiMino, author.
"From Desert Series" by Joe DiMino
Horses have come through here--
no jockeys though--
tracks too free for that;
no grandstand cheering...
but one can tell,
by the long strides,
horses always know:
An eagle steps from the cliff...
struts high above the canyon floor...
shows her young what wings can do.
"From Desert Series" by Joe DiMino
The sun is not too hot, here,
on the lichen side of the mountain--
where the edge is taken off, absorbed
into the oranges and yellows and
greens and blues of my patterns:
There!--I see an Indian woman
breast-feeding her swaddling-child;
and there!--a mystical buffalo,
in marble of color (sort of an
unfinished puzzle): I search for my
missing piece in the shade of a tall

My knees were the things that
kept me up and my skin is my

rain clouds to the fire running
down my arms and my heart is
the fire place that keeps me
burning so calm

Never Give Up
Hang on; The Lord will give you strength in any act of your pursuit
Keep trusting God; He will lead you in every step of the journey
Don't live by other people's time tables; live by Gods Time Table.
You may lose paradise, but gain heaven when you rise up and repent
Don't underestimate your ability to pick yourself up and keep going.
Let go of your disappointments, mistakes and failures
Never give up on your missions and visions.
Never give up praying, The Lord will answer you in His beautiful timing.
The Lord will prepare you for the great success which will comes unexpectedly.
Your dreams are planted deep within your heart by Life itself.
Don't be discouraged by people who tease you out of your dreams
Overcome any struggle with courage, motivation and hope
Your dreams were given to you for a reason by THE CREATOR.
It is easy to give up in life than to keep trying. Always choose the latter
Try again; you have millions of alternatives
Get rid of that negative and defeated attitude.
Always stayed focused on your goals and hang on the wings of hope and success
Be consistent in your efforts, success is not obtained overnight
Push through every difficulty and negativity to achieve the goals
To achieve the impossible, you must attempt the absurd
Never settle for less than what you imagined possible for yourself.
Be determined to be determined
The victory over our inner self is a daily struggle
Resist every negative criticism and persist to make it happen
Go forward and conquer any mountain on your path
Quitters and waiters have a varied beginning, but a similar ending
Just underneath your breaking point lies your true strength
Don't stop where you fall; rise up and do it again!"
Your downfall is a preparation for your up-rise
Without adversity and trials we may never know what we are capable of.
Mistakes help to sharpen your next steps.
Focus on the precious moments and gracious future.
Never give up, pursue your passion
Successful people never quit –upgrade your mindset and keep focus
Stay strong, stay positive, and never give up.
Only the weak use "I can't" as an excuse to give up

I wrote this yesterday in anticipation of our granddaughter getting married today. she asked that I not publish it until after the wedding at 7:00 PM today. Well, they got married and now I have been given the green light to post this. I am proudly doing so.
Tomorrow You're Getting Married
(with love to granddaughter Bella)
By Franklin Price
Tomorrow you're getting married
A big step in your life
To the one you've chosen and you love
He your husband you his wife
You will become his partner
In everything you do
A fifty fifty proposition
A new family of two
Some may think you're foolish
That it is a big mistake
It is not their decision
It is your choice to make
You've considered all the reasons
In your heart knows it's true
That this time is the right time
That this marriage is for you
Sorry we can't be there
But when you say I do
We'll be cheering from the breaking waves
And the sand around you too
We wish you both the very best
Sent from our hearts with love
That you have found true happiness
That you're blessed by God above
Copyright © Franklin Price | Year Posted 2015
As tears flow from my reddened eyes
I can see what I have purely missed
As I look up to the dark grey skies
I will always remember our first fist
I sit here and think of your face
The first time I saw your light fluffy cheeks
I always wanted to lay my head on that place
Even when I was buried in my girlfriend's twin peaks.
You never knew my love for you
I waited until it was too late
I often yearned for a way through
Both your heart and your front gate.
But now you've passed away
Slipped through my limp and lifeless fingers
But I still yearn for that fortuitous day
And the smell of your tobacco colour coat still lingers.
As I stare at my homage dedicated to you
I can feel a heart shaped hole called 'Noah'
My body is conflicted, I don't know what to do
It's such a shame that you were found in pieces underneath a lawnmower.
So many holes, and opportunities now
I feel my body grow harder
For you Noah would only allow
One hole to be ventured in farther
As you led there erotically
on the grass that day
with your legs so lovely
I couldn't take my eyes away
So I didn't see
The lawnmower draw near
The blades running free
And beginning to career
Ever closer to your toes
To impoverish your heart
I'm the only one who knows
How a love like this does start
To think I won't see you again
Striding majestically down the Bath Road
And, protecting your shoulders from the rain
Your little tobacco coloured coat
I wish I had been able to say
All this to you when you were alive
I came so close once, that fateful day
When we were standing outside the Beehive
Your hair was golden in the glow
Of the solitary standing streetlamp
Yet still, you couldn't ever know
My feeling for you or my heart would cramp
And now you're dead you selfish thing
You'll never hear me speak these thoughts
You'll never feel me 'flap my wings'
Or ogle me as I cavort
But now you're in the ground
In the darkness and despair
But I have now created a mound
Where I can collect your hair
My heart is soaked in liquid salt
My clothes cling to my body
Although I know that it's no-one fault
Staring at you was my favourite hobby
Now it's time to say goodbye
My lovely little pet
My heart still yearns, my eyes still cry
Although we never met

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

Reflections of imperfections
have shown me a way
that I can move mountains
through my power of faith
even though I can't see him
I know he is real
through the power of prayer
and a Love that I feel
It's growing inside me
like a flower in bloom
shall I reveal my powers
or is it too soon
I am reading the signs
through my darkness I find
a reason for belief in
the light of mankind
that I know shall overcome
the greatest of odds
the Love I seek amazes me
especially through the flaws
because now I am inspired
through the hero's that bring
my throne through the darkness
on which I return on as your King.

Love is a wonder
shared by one another
it's the only reason
I'm not six feet under
Love in which I believe
in a will to sustain
I give back to life, now
in dormant states of pain
The power of Love
may not alone be enough
locked inside my dreams
escape only from above
higher than any human being
has ever gone before
I must have evolved
rise above hate, great once more
My Father taught me wisdom
I am imprisoned no longer
now an beast not of burden
I am no lion, I am stronger
on my shoulder sits twin dragons
long awaiting the day
evil forces come forth to
take what Love is left, away
A Hero of Love light
are what the world needs
angels, not demons
exist where ever you believe
follow your heart's direction
and you shall achieve
objects of affection
rid of materialistic greed
My bright energy
has awakened to a fire
never consuming the source
as the flames just grow higher
that is the desire
of a product we call Love
Fear, the counterpart
what I was once made of
I am slowly learning
how to win when my peace
is harder to sharpen
so I have given my pen leave
the sword has its uses
I must say I believe
to vanquish the evil
in the minds too diseased
to serve any purpose
except their own selfish ones
tomorrow a new day
in the clarity of the sun
where we two are now one
and one done now does
bring about a great change
lit by the righteousness of Love.
The Apple PASTURE
Oh how I long
To drift into the apple pasture.
Were once was and all well meet.
A pure and dear site.
Where silver reflection cover the still waters that holds the golden
grains of morality and the grazing souls lie young amounce no stars.
Oh how I long
To drift into the apple pasture
Were winds smell of melon and the trees whisper spring corals in the mellow dark and best of light and time creeps into no tomorrow.

What is Layag Sug?
How come you're not answering?
Why are you asking?
For me to know
Why, isn't it a bully to me?
No. I'm just plainly asking.
Why is it so hard for you to answer?
I don't know why the question arises now.
I suddenly realize I don't know the meaning of it.
Aha for you what is it?
What is Layag Sug?
Is it a signature to every statement you make?
Or a line you share with someone?
Being a signature to every statement
It is also a line to share to make Sulu familiar with people today
So what is Layag Sug?
What do you think?
I don't know a Sulu boat?
What do you think?
You can share what it is so we could explore
I will give you my meaning
After you give interpretation
You're not answering are you?
Just say so if you're not
I don't have the entire night waiting
Layag Sug is about my life
Longing for the independence of beloved homeland Sulu
Literally Sulu Sail!
That's Layag Sug seen through my lens of thought
And my experience in life!
A poem made to explain the meaning of Layag Sug through the question of Sulu Gypsy. 12:44AM, 9 March 2013, Sandakan, Sabah, Malaysia. Let Us All Save Peace. Layag Sug!

Whispers, whistles and whimpers graced the witless end
Far apart sprang strange smeared summer songs
Ruthless dark winter cloud oppressed the entire bend
Tang tong tongue twisted tales were narrated by the toothless
The weaning ones sat on the set sand
Not once nor twice did the melting sea ice rise
A fierce frost arose and all were driven to the land
Time telling term tales was all they could use
Every move tirelessly tempted the cloud to burst
They tumbled on tiny icy stars, just like the rice
At times voices and boasting images smiled from the east
Belly powdered powered women drank the curse
Fires from their pockets slaughtered their thighs
Anonymous panicking present embraced the past.
The piped lames and flames popped and aimed on the fading surface
A shopped chopped tray and a famished rat was what they needed
The clairvoyant forced a cry but all that appeared was a taunting face
In an automated power the sacrifice was loaded while all nodded
Peaked pears fell from the tomb and the fading surface wasn't in place
As the wrath struck all knelt and pleaded.

I simply love being me
for I am so good at everything
step into my city and they
will tell you who is King
one day when I am hungry
I will swallow everything
then and only then shall I
inherit the stuff I dream
even then I promise
not to settle for satisfaction
at any instant half a second
I could spring into full action
so go against me? please,
you do not even measure
up to half of the goodness
that I hold tight like my treasure
still spreading rumors about me
to try and destroy my life
can't believe I let myself get beat by
a stripper and my self-intended knife
try and say I'm gay
even though we both know that isn't the truth
just ask any woman I been with
if they ever needed proof
they'll say I was the cream of the crop
as they took it all night knowing
I just may never stop
I own the status of a legend
now what you got left to say
when I bring it twenty-four seven?
Show me who you are and i shall paint out broken columns on the valleys of her back as if such figure is un-common
i have found no beauty bending as the vines that are her hair and the frailty of man upon her back is what she bares
bleed her body for the harvest let them feast upon her soul for the nurishment of mother is leaps beyond so bold
she is like the flower growing in the deepest of dark forests,amongst the ivy and hemlock but her skin is much too porous
to concern herself with games that tantalize the men, as they marry on crusade it is her children that she tends
sheath your swords with her ambition and tip your arrows with her will, craft your armour from her strength and in the battle you will kill
come now children from the pasture and lay each upon her side, suckle gently at your mother although theirs pain she does not hide
though the water leaks from rooftops her leaves are thick and block the rain, as the water level rises cling to her branches with no shame
she is the stone upon the beach, once a mountain pound and breached
yet still her disposition clear to love her children that are near

A full moon night
to my delight
what is so wrong
with doing what's right
nothing is right
after so long
no use in complaining
time to move on
The Dream Water one day
might take me away
farther from the comfort
of familiarity
I float on my back
then shut my eyes
my body now sinking
into ocean arms open wide
Now swallow your son
back to his nature
when he is no longer
needed to stay here
the next generation
are dooming themselves
they need my experience
to guide them through hell
Why should I bother
on my own, I strive through
I turn my back on the thought
of bothering to save you
alone in this world
my, is it spacious
I'm finally smiling,
never so gracious.
Reflections in the mirror
were getting scary
I could not carry
the weight of my pain
it almost took my life
to learn to love again
for I have made a friend
somewhere along my long lost way
I hope that I helped him
just a fraction of how he helped me
maybe that single thought
is what finally gave me my peace
enough to release so much
stolen energy
Now I am not afraid
to walk where the streets are hot
for I thrive in Hell's kitchen
where the devil stirs my pot
for I now have him quiet tame
I sacrificed my dragons
at the alter of my name
and now you are my slaves
any time I need
I'll call upon my superhero's
to come and rescue me
like my Saint Toni
who swept me off that bridge
and showed my how a death can be
the greatest reason to live
for she was the seed to grow my Eden
then a man from a foreign land
gave me something in myself to believe in
the magik of Love.
To sit in the confines of knowledge
At a desk the colour of porridge
An air of unescapable heat
At a desk the colour of wheat
The lure of the Mail Online
At a desk the colour of brine
Looking at Jamie Kirby's broken leg
At a desk the colour of regret

I want some chicken to chew on
I wanna eat it until its all gone
I want to slather it in turbo lax
And cover it in tic tacs
I love the chicken's neck
My parents always say "what the heck?"
But i don't care
Finding a grilled chicken neck is very rare
I'd kill somebody if they try to steel my chicken neck, but who would dare?
I eat it so fast i'm like the hear in tortoise and the hare
So when i see a chicken it better run
Because what i'm going to do to it isn't going to be very fun!

Truth what is your value or worth
When sometimes you make me feel good and other times
You cause me to hurt
Truth you come on time
And some days not at all
The approach and presentation is so strong
How can you ever fit in the category of wrong
Yet people treat truth as a last resort
Truth why do people look at you strange
As if you're ugly, derange and insane
But the facts remain
However, easy to obtain
Even fear brings the storms, hurricanes, tornadoes and heavy rain
That can make your heart and mind filled with pain
Yet whatever we lose, we must gain
For truth can justify, validate and approve what you have endured
To stand as you continue to maintain

What am I supposed to think? What am I supposed to say? All these lies you bottled up come sweeping, crashing with the tides. My footing's gone, the ocean real, but how am I supposed to feel? And here I am, a drowning mess, a loveless lie, I do protest. And here I am a drowning mess. So all those things you said to me? Where they just lies out of pity? So all those things you said to me? Or am I lost in salty waves? Yes I know my future's grave. Or am I lost in salty waves?And now the panic in my head, when I should be tucked up in your bed, reels and reels right here instead.I'm going down, a sinking ship, funny what name drips off my lips. It is not God, or Angles plenty, or even that I'm just damn ready To let go of the hell and the lies. I'm wishing for your gentle eyes. Or at least the way they always seemed, but perhaps that's just this salty dream. I have no clue what I'm to do! A drowning hopeless mess, for you-- think it's cute, and oh so funny, but here's the bitter truth now honey. I'm going down. There is no help. I can't be saved by God himself. I put my life, my whole world of trust, and you've thrown it away for lust. Well what the hell's a girl to do? I'm just so entranced by you!

then I could dream

and say its all in my

The Bus Trip
We are driving to Cascais on Sunday my wife wants to take
the bus she thinks we are too old to drive 300 miles.
On the bus, you might risk sitting by someone who can`t afford
water or soap that is a low grade working person on his way to
use a spade and whatever to build a trench that keeps the water
away when it is raining
I`m a tonic water socialist and read the Guardian, crystal glasses
and a sneaky fag on the loo. To meet a proper working class person
would shatter my illusion and bring back a memory of my father last time
I saw him it was on a bus and he was drunk.
I will drive- anyway- not long from now I will not be able to they are
putting up obstacles to stop us old ones driving

Having a cup of tea,
Sitting in my balcony,
Watching the world,
Looking at the busy roads.
Every eye had a dream,
Every soul had a story,
Some happy,some sad,
Some hungry,some mad.
And this is how it has to be!
I thought to myself......
Vehicles rushing to their destinations,
Like there is no tommorrow!
No time for human races,
All time for digital races.....
Some rich,some poor
Some successful, some failures.
And this is how it has to be!
I thought to myself.....
Few families, few couples,
Few children, few students,
Few workers, few parents,
Yes ! They all made up a BUSY ROAD!!!!

As I gaze upon the crimson tide
Tears of sorrow I cannot hide
Comrades fallen, slain and dead
I wish they'd taken me instead
In shock I wonder to where fallen mates are
Wiping my memory but it will leave a scar
Muffled yelling falls silent forever
Jimmy and Thommo, I'll forget them never
17 and 18 years, Christ they were only boys
Taken to early to experience life's joys
I look around joined by a medic
"We're the only ones left" I turn to be sick
We have to try to crawl from this beach
I pluck up the courage as he pulls back the breach
Cover me I yell as I run for the cliff
I dance to the rhythm of their deadly riff
I trip and fall across an enemy wire
I see myself below all covered in fire
Now I stand at the gates with my head held high
I get my set of wings for now I can fly

In the slight of hand at the dead of night will stand
Hoping someday soon all will live to understand

The Lay of the Land
If my thoughts had wings
Or better still had arrows and a bow
To pierce your heart
You will open your emerald eyes
As only seen in the sea of Greenland
Seek my embrace
We will be the sky and the earth
Filling the air with fog
Before we make love
Our Titanic love is too great for
Sluggish humanity to clasp
Kiss me slowly caress me long
And we will purify a putrefied world.
