give me a chance
My love increasing till this very day
Hoping to see u in everyway
You have placed a simple curse on me
I'm hooked for life to u my one and only
You are my life my one and only queen
I'd love to walk with u into this lovely scene
Please here the sincerity in what I say
Ill never stop loving you everyday
I wish I wish you only knew
That my heart would beat a thousand times just for you
You are ruled by the moon and the tides
My love is crazy enough to give u a ride
I miss you every day that goes by
If I remember one thing about u it's your lovely eyes
I dream about you so much
I feel and feel for your touch
But then I remember your not there
It makes me sad and I see a tear
because I hate it that I'm not with you
And all I can do is tell you the truth
But this isn't good enough
Because without you life is tough
I've never felt this way in years
That's why I'm burning and seeing tears
You are the moon and stars in my sky
Something I would never question why
I'm sorry if I'm being creepy
But I needed to tell you this so you understood fully
Of the point I'm trying to make here
Which is simply love my dear
I want to be the guy that makes you smile
And then cuddle with you or a while
I want to be the guy that makes you laugh
And walk with you into this righteous path
I'm so jealous of other guys that get to date you
It's not fair because you don't know the truth
You don't understand what I would do
Just to make you happy for a day or two
So give me a chance on a lovely day
To prove and show you the right way
To a fair date with just you and me
Because all I want to do is make you happy
I love you
29 Jul 11 2:40 pm
im waiting for you
i speak in an elequent manner of your beauty
i distinguish the harsh truth of reality
i long just to hear your plea
and cry for my love is as deeps as the sea
as i reach for my journal and write what i see
there's something so precious standing before me
a lady far greater than any lady known
with so much love she's never alone
but its a new era and a new life begins
and i strive to succeed as i repent for my sins
and now the tides have changed one last time
as i sit here in sand and watch for some sighn
when will i be notified
when will you be by my side
im a squirrel thats roaming and exploring the world
what the hell should i do to get you as my girl
i may not never be the perfect guy
but ill give you my everything and ill tell you why
your the type of girl who has it made
im the type of guy who begins to fade
i mean i dream sometimes im falling and falling
im running real fast and i just sart floating
and then there you are floating beside me
and then i reach out to look and see
is this real are you acutally right in my hands
am i sitting here holding you like this was planned
but then i wake up and realize it wasnt true
and now in the cold i sit here waiting for you
29 Jul 11 2:15 pm
from side to side
the wind blows plants from side to side
as i sit in my chair from where i hide
the mist comes from the left really hard
and the rain drops and im on guard
and of course i think of you as mother plays her role
while the air around me switches to cold
we all want the same things at diffrent times
but i try to persua you with my poetic rhymes
the sun is creepin up on my skin
and im thinkin of a way to start and begin
i want to ask if you would be my girl
but i dont want to embarass myself in this world
please understand i want to capture your heart
but in return please dont tear mine apart
i love you like a sickness and its cured together
now let us combine our love for one another
like rain and sun and coal and heat
we will stay together even when one weeps
for if my love was ever denied
my soul will perish while hell is where i reside
for want of a kiss from her lucious soul
to the excitement and happyness of new found gold
at last ive found my love and lady
if she knew id be considered crazy
the way she blushed shamed the stars in the sky
the way she blossomed could make any guy cry
her eyes as dark and gleaming as night
but a taste of her love would kill your frights
so as the wind blows plants from side to side
ive found love so i shall not hide
29 Jul 11 1:58 pm
i got to move forward
the clouds are gray the sky no more
i dont know what to say as it begins to poor
as the rain falls i can't help but think of you
i think to distinguish between false and true
but the rain vanishes and the sky becomes blue
and the sun shows itself as i think of you
insects crawl and bee's pollinate
as i sit here and begin to investigate
where are you and whered you go
the guy who loves you wants to know
ive done somethings that were bad in the past
and now they've caught up to me real fast
but now i moe forward in an attempt to succeed
while my heart is desprate for love begins to bleed
you said you wanted to go out and made me a tool
now i sit here hopelessly looking like a damn fool
my self esteem low and my pride shot down
yet my head held high as i get beat to the ground
everythings taken away ive got nothing to lose
but now that im here ive got things to prove
its just me against the world and the lonely girls
who seem to thnk its funny to hate you in this world
i shed the tears as i reak what i sow
i think about the past while my head hangs low
when walked into my life i was just a fool
and now your leaving and its not so cool
i feel lost untethered and suspend
as i hang in mid air and watch what has ended
please dont leave m im in love
there's no one else just me and you my dove
thats why i must move forward
29 Jul 11 1:43 pm
the truth
your beautiful and a simple minded gorgeous girl
i never thought you'd bring love into my world
now you guide me and hold me tight
kissing my cheek and diminishing my frights
before we met i was a loser and a nothing
then we met and i became something
i would never be more happy than now
and then you did something idiotic and foul
you left me and my happyness to die
my smile fades and i start living a lie
i sit listening to depressing music
cutting and crying and trying not to lose it
ive lost faith in all of mankind and well being
can't belive i thought we came close to a thing
so what can i say and what can i do
to understand my heart was given to you
yea everyone gets dumped but this was something special
your ripped out my heart and set it floating like a vessel
i ask and beg of you to talk to me
please here my crys and my plea
this is breaking me down inside my body
it seems as though you did this intentionally
just want you to know ill always love you
and that my love is the absolute truth
29 Jul 11 1:32 pm
im thinking of you
it rains hard and i think about you
ive ben running now here's the truth
the cold water hits my face as i look to the sky
and think about how i lived a lie
only time i was happy was when i met you
even then i seemed to be a damn fool
you'd make me smile everyday by being beautiful
your natural charming self so wonderful
the site of you was just so amazing
but you would never understand what my heart was craving
i wanted to promise you the sky
and love you until the day i died
and now i sit in reminisce
flippin through genisis
i remeber you asked if life matters
and i got this idea the worlds on a silver platter
sure the worlds an imperfect place
and sure everyone might think im a disgrace
but i promise to keep myself in check
and make sure what i do is correct
i love you angel you are my queen
so head held high lets walk into this scene
and now that you've heard the truth
now you know why ive been thinking of you
19 Apr 11 12:31 am
will you go out with me ?
You're like a flower all pretty and soft
Walking with beauty with your head aloft
I want to hold your hand in mine
And take a walk many times
I want you to know I love u that much
I don't want to lose your warm touch
Becoming sunny day and day
And I'm falling in love in everyway
I think about my love a little longer
Wishing I could be much stronger
My face seems to turn from blue to grey
But your skin gives me a tingle like snow in my face
When you're gone I can't sleep
Sometimes I shake and start to weep
I laugh because you said id leave
But the only place I want you is next to me
In my arms were you belong
Where everything is peaceful as we undo our wrong
I had dreams about you last night
I had my arms around you holding you tight
I'm asking for a second chance
Let's have this eternal dance
You can get angry and get sad
But I'm still here to listen to the day you had
I'm willing to do anything to keep a smile on your face
Just seeing you smile keeps my heart winning the race
I believe we have something and it's meant to be
Open your heart and start to see
So your beauty will collide with love
And my heart and yours will ascend above
I can't sleep because you're amazing
Your love has every right for infiltrating
I want your love in my world
As I've said countless of times will you please be my girl ?
I love you
18 Apr 11 6:07 am
i had nothing till i found you
So I've been running into my demise
Thinking and thinking ill get a good surprise
Little did I know my dreams weren't shit
And my life was a mistake every last little bit
I fell in love from time to time
But they would hate me and my rhymes
My poems never meant a damn thing
Just as bad as when I use to sing
Surviving and surviving is what I'm saying
Looking at her and just chilling
I never had much and always got by
This time I'm just shedding a tear and starting to cry
Feeling loose and an empty vessel
Girls always telling me to get on their level
Only the strong survive in this world
And only the handsome boys get the girl
I'm just another rebel trying to find love
Looks like my reservation was cancelled above
Your smile and laugh has got me hypnotized
While those beautiful eyes got me mesmerized
Chillan and laughing that is what we do
And those problems you have we will get through
I want to feel your love surround me
And caress something so powerful you see
Hey girl there is no mystery
There is only love as far as I can see
Let me hold you tight
And let our love take flight
Put your feet up and kick it back
While we keep this relationship on track
This feels like a real live fantasy
But I'm attracted as though you're my ecstasy
How in the hell did I meet a girl like you
Alright here it comes you ready for the truth
I feel like we really have something here
And I don't want to lose it in fear
I want to keep it going strong
Because in the end there will be nothing wrong
angel you are the queen of this world
This is why I ask for you to be my girl
I'm your humble servant and you are my queen
I kneel to your everlasting beauty in this enchanting scene
You're so beautiful….
12 Apr 11 10:33 pm
ill fight for you
I declare my love for you
I can't tell you how much it's true
To see your smile brightens my day
To dream of you in a special way
Sure I wish I could be with you
Have you in my arms and such
To tell you I love you this much
You really have no clue at all
How tall my love is for you
It reaches above oceans and sky's
And moons and tides it's even
Crazy enough to give you a ride
I dream about you every night
Waking up to the bright sunlight
You're the first thought on my mind
When I wake to the sunshine
The last thought when I sleep
Under the moon's peak
I seem to always ponder
And wonder about such a girl
You infiltrate love into my world
You amaze me everyday
Your astounding in everyway
What can I say about the
Lovely woman I see everyday
But I'm afraid of this new love
I just don't know how to tell you
My dove that I'm in love with you
And that you're beyond the riches
In the heavens above
You understand me in many ways
Once again I'm glad I met you
That one special day I declare
My love for you one last time
Because I'm tired of not speaking
Like I'm a mime angel I've been
In love with you since we met
So let's get this straight and set
I think of you too much and
I know its crazy and weird and such
But I freaking love you so much
I'm glad I was able to get this off
My chest before it turned a mess
My life would be weird without
You around if it weren't for you
Id be beat to the ground
I can't express this love enough
I know I'm crazy but I'm not tough
I'm more of a lover you see
I'm not a fighter I just cant be
I must admit you are so lovely
And you seem so happy
And wonderfully and also
Amazing and beautifully
I wish I was you since you
Are a queen I'd love to walk
With you into this lovely scene
I love you angel I truly do but
My words cannot express
My never ending truly amazing
Undying astounding fulfilling
Love I so preciously have for you……………………
12 Apr 11 10:32 pm
Can you imagine anything greater
Our love growing even stronger
I have such a fiery passion
My heart burs for your attention
I wonder what could drive me crazy
Seeing as though I'm really lazy
As to express this love that makes
Me hazy I seem to recall a dazzling
Beauty I also recall the dream of love
Full of passion for you my dove
I'm fighting for you for I cannot
Hold on to this burning love
From beyond I've seen your smile
And my I must say it truly
Brightens my crazy day
I cast a love spell upon you dear
Don't worry my angel have no fear
You simply have the curse of beauty
You are such a wonderful dazzling cutie
I'm in love with you for all eternity
Let us drift into smooth anxiety
Close your eyes under the stars
And drift away in this hollowly car
I wish to kiss you in the night
Under the bright moonlight
I want to cuddle and hold you tight
Take my hand and fear no fright
For love seethes in the air
Without a hint of danger far or near
No matter what happens to us my dear
I will never ever bring you into fear
You are so precious and important to me
I'd die without you don't you see
I need you in my arms love
I'm nothing without you my wonderful dove
I can't tell you how much I enjoy your love
I love you angel……………………….

Okay, California Pacific Airlines ready again
FAA-certified, but start dates out of Carlsbad airport uncertain (psst, April)
Ken Harrison 8:30 a.m., Nov. 18
The Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility yesterday released an open letter sent to California Public Utilities Commission president Michael Peevey, critical of the agency for what the Alliance calls "failure of the agency to assert any regulatory oversight" related to seismic studies to be performed at San Onofre Nuclear Generating station as part of the nuclear power plant's push for an extension in its operating licenses for the Unit 2 and Unit 3 reactors.
In May, the Commission approved $64.25 million in ratepayer funding for advanced 2-D and 3-D seismic studies in response to the discovery of previously unknown earthquake faults, one within 1800 feet of the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant on California's central coast. Similar funding is being sought for San Onofre, which will be considered at an October 25 meeting in Irvine. The decision called for an "Independent Peer Review Group" to comment on the proposed studies' scope, and for all documents to be made available to the public, with open access workshops scheduled.
Instead, four months later the independent review group has yet to be formed and no public meetings have been held.
That hasn't stopped San Onofre operator Southern California Edison from moving forward, however. Edison has commissioned the Scripps Institute research vessel Marcus Langseth to conduct studies on behalf of the utility, despite what the Alliance says is a complete lack of public oversight. Further, the lead scientist from Scripps announced recently that 3-D studies are not even a confirmed part of their plan for work regarding San Onofre.
"Southern California Edison appears to be flaunting every possible ratepayer safeguard that the CPUC placed on this decision, and the inattentive CPUC staff has put no effort into preventing these disgraceful circumstances," says Alliance executive director Rochelle Becker.

The Dolores Public Library is asking the community for recommendations on how to improve library services and programs.
A two-page survey is available at the library, online at www.doloreslibrary.org, and in bright red boxes distributed at a number of locations throughout the community.
The survey takes less than 10 minutes to complete. Anyone who uses the library or who lives in the district is encouraged to complete the questionnaire. The deadline for return of surveys is June 15, 2014.
"We wanted to make it easy for people to complete the survey, so we placed them in restaurants, the post office, the bank, the town hall, and the grocery store," said Rysta Williford, library board president. "People can share their thoughts about how to improve the library's services while standing in line at the post office or waiting for their meal to be served."
The library board, director, and staff will review the results and consider all comments as they plan for the library's future. A complete report of survey responses will be available at the library by early August.

The inspiration for this post was a question that occurred to me toward the end of 2015: Are there any Korean films of the 60s and 70s that feature strong women making their own choices in lead roles?
The Korean Dramas I watch almost all reflect the male-dominated, chauvinist hierarchy of traditional Korean society. The phrase "male-dominated, chauvinist hierarchy" applies with equal force to traditional Indian society too, which is precisely why the three films I'm briefly looking at here really stand out for me.
Two of these were made in the 60s, and the other in the 70s. One I like, I really like, one I really don't. But all three seem almost anachronistic in their depiction of the female leads, hence the title of this post.
The blurb on my DVD of this film says that Waheeda was told she was committing professional suicide by taking the role of a woman who left her husband to pursue her dream of being a dancer, aided by her manager/lover.
It really was a remarkable story for 1965 India, and Waheeda made the role her own, with her dancing skills and nuanced portrayal of a woman's journey of self-discovery, coming to believe that she could choose to live her life on her terms.
Another Waheeda starrer, this film has many similarities to Guide. Once again she plays a dancer living life on her own terms, or in this case on terms she has chosen to accept. In Guide Dev Anand's character was initially her guide into independence, helping steer her to fame and fortune. In Teesri Kasam she has neither fame nor fortune, and the man who enters her life is no smooth-talking guide, but a very simple bullock cart driver.
What I love about this film is the way Waheeda's Hirabai deals with the reality of her life. Others may see it as demeaning and sordid, but whatever, it is her life, and she will be the one to accept or reject its constraints. She may not have been an empowered woman, but she was not powerless, and demonstrated that her dignity was her business, no one else's
This film is named for the two female lead roles, only one of whom qualifies for consideration as an independent,self-assured woman.
Seeta is a meek, downtrodden Cinderella character, not unlike the Candy trope of East Asian Dramas. Her separated-at-birth identical twin sister Geeta on the other hand is a real gem. After the opening twenty minutes of the film establishing how miserable Seeta's life is, Geeta's introduction is a welcome change of mood. She enters singing "life's a game" in the song above, and the rest of the film shows her keeping that spirit.
Geeta's character shines for simply refusing to accept the kind of treatment her society and culture considered both normal and proper for women to receive. Confronted with routine physical and verbal abuse, degradation and oppression, she gives as good as she gets. Especially noteworthy is the climactic fight scene at the end, in which she is an active, vigorous participant. No demure heroine waiting to be rescued, she plays a major part in saving herself, and helping the hero.
Another thing these films have in common is that the actresses were both famous for their dancing skills. All three films reference the low esteem female dancers were held in, and it's central to both Guide and Teesri Kasam. Perhaps being part of a contemned (and often condemned) profession played a part in the characters' resilience?
Like Waheeda and Hema, my bias Wang Ji Won came to acting from dance. So did several other actresses I follow, including Han Ye Ri, whose major was in Korean traditional dance. Unlike Waheeda and Hema, I've never seen any of the Korean dancer-actresses I follow in a role involving dance in a truly significant way, though Ji Won played a ballerina in Fated To Love You. So now I have two questions:
First, are there any Korean films from the 60s or 70s that feature similarly independent, self-assertive women? Second, are there Korean films or Dramas about dancers or featuring dance prominently and starring actresses who are or were dancers? I look forward to your responses, gentle readers.

MORE: The new Rivals100
Since 2002, Florida has produced a total of nine five-star running backs.
For the class of 2013, Greg Bryant is the only five-star. But that doesn't mean the battle to be the state's top-ranked back is over. With others rising fast and the all-star season ahead, Bryant is not necessarily a lock.
Article Continues Below
Here's a look at what Bryant brings to the table and why three others are still in the mix.
The aforementioned Bryant, out of Delray Beach (Fla.) American Heritage, is the highest-rated tailback of the group.
"Bryant is on top because he has a good combo of size, strength and amazing feet," Rivals.com national recruiting analyst Mike Farrell said. "He's an inside runner who can bounce it outside and he can catch the ball. He's the most complete of the backs."
Bryant's father, Greg, Sr., coaches the defensive line at Heritage and he has taught the younger Bryant to read the defense on his pre-snap look. He has a great football IQ and understanding of the game.
This fall, Bryant ran for more than 1,400 yards and 17 touchdowns while adding 308 yards receiving and three touchdowns.
Notre Dame is getting an official visit this weekend. Bryant also has Auburn, Florida State, and South Carolina on his list of favorites.
Kelvin Taylor, meanwhile, had one of the most productive high school careers in state history. He would have gone down in national record books had it not been for Derrick Henry, our next RB candidate.
"Taylor is about what we expect him to be in college, which is very good. But he has a lot of mileage on him, so durability at the next level will be interesting to track," Rivals.com Southeast recruiting analyst Kynon Codrington said. "He is low to the ground, powerful and has great cutback ability … he's not too far off from Bryant."
What we like about Taylor is his ability to get stronger as the game goes on. The Florida pledge had best games on the biggest stages. He set a Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) record in the state finals with 44 carries for 248 yards in the 2010 title game.
The son of former NFL All-Pro RB Fred Taylor, Kelvin Taylor led his team to two state championships. The younger Taylor ended his career with 12,019 yards and a state-record 192 touchdowns.
Our third candidate is listed as an athlete, but no one can deny Derrick Henry's accomplishments at running back.
This year, Henry rushed for 4,260 yards on 464 attempts while scoring 55 touchdowns.
He broke the national high school record for career rushing yards with 12,121. The record had been held by Sugarland (Texas) RB Ken Hall.
However, Farrell thinks the 6-foot-3, 245-pounder will need some refinement at the college level.
"Henry will be limited at running back when he takes that big step up in competition and can't just overpower people or outrun them," Farrell said. "He's a huge runner and a great one-cut guy with power, but he's upright and a big target and I just think he's too tall and big to be as successful as he was in high school."
The Alabama commit is a rare athlete with superior size-to-speed ratio. He runs a consistent 4.4 (laser-timed) 40 to go with a 40-inch vertical. Make no mistake about it, the Tide are getting a special talent.
Plantation (Fla.) South Plantation running back Alex Collins missed some time with injuries this year, but still managed to rush for 1,276 yards on 154 carries and 14 touchdowns. Last year, he led Broward County in rushing with 1,725 yards and 27 touchdowns.
"Collins is talented and probably the guy who hasn't tapped his potential yet, so his upside is excellent," Codrington said. "He's not quite at the elite level of Bryant and Taylor yet, and Henry is a better athlete. But it wouldn't surprise me if Collins has a better career than at least one of them."
The 5-foot-11, 207-pounder has great top-end speed and functional running strength. He de-committed from Miami in late October is still considering the Canes along with Florida, Florida State, and Wisconsin.
All of these players have video-game numbers and special talent. At the moment, Bryant stands out above the rest and can end any debate with a strong week at the Army All-American Bowl.
The others are no slouches, of course.
Taylor is right behind Bryant, and Henry is one of the best athletes in the class and perhaps one of the best the state has ever produced. Collins has a high ceiling at the next level and should be an All-Conference-type player in college.
So the battle to be the top-ranked back in Florida is still a race worth watching.

Coming June 9, 2016, Here & Now listeners and visitors will experience our stories and journalism online in a whole new way.
Many 20-somethings have become discouraged by a difficult job market. A growing number of recent college graduates have taken low-level jobs and moved back in with their parents. Their self-esteem has vanished as a result of rejection letters and what seems like a dead-end job search after college.
But John Wilpers says the opportunities are abundant for these Millenials and they just need to know how to navigate a digital savvy marketplace, and how to presents themselves to get noticed and land that job.
Wilpers founded a company called Degrees2Dreams, which advises college students and recent college grads on how to manage their careers. Wilpers says there are six basic steps that new grads can take:

It's All Shoddy
Israel has a different national stamp. As opposed to American professionalism, Israel has fostered the ethos of the off-the-cuff solution. As opposed to blind obedience to procedures, Israel has raised the banner of creativity.
The plot of Hollywood movies develops like this: A jumbo jet filled with hundreds of passengers gets into trouble over the city of Rock Springs, Wyoming. Its fate depends to a great deal on the actions of the flight controller in an out-of-the-way airport. Whatever the plot, it presents the ethos that the anonymous flight controller is an individual of great professional acumen. It does not matter how small the airport or how marginal the institution that trained him - the controller will know his job. That, in any case, is the way American society sees itself.
Israel has a different national stamp. As opposed to American professionalism, Israel has fostered the ethos of the off-the-cuff solution. As opposed to blind obedience to procedures, Israel has raised the banner of creativity. Not squareness, but suiting ourselves to the circumstances.
Over the years these characteristics Israel has adopted have undergone a pathological change: Operational flexibility has become carelessness, freedom of action in fulfilling the mission has become irresponsible shoddiness.
In Israel, not only is it not obvious that the flight controller at the Rosh Pina airport will know how to deal with a sudden crisis, but rather that in the General Staff, the core of security policy, failures have been exposed that appear to be a symptom of the defective work of a culture of fudging.
The chief of staff reveals that his explicit orders to avoid firing cluster bombs were not followed; the Doron Almog committee found that the correct directives of the Division 91 commander were not implemented; another investigation shows that ostensibly detailed intelligence on the location of bunkers along the northern border in which short-range Katyusha launch-nests were concealed did not reach the field from headquarters; additional committees investigating the failures of the Lebanon war have the impression that these failures stem from carelessness regarding orders, insufficient supervision, and the non-enforcement of orders.
The escape of the rapist Benny Sela proves once again that both the police and the Prisons Authority, responsible for public safety, are infected with amateurishness: A lack of coordination between the two bodies, a blunting of the senses that prevented those involved from noticing the strange timing of the prisoner's summons to the court, the laziness of the escorting police, the indifference to the dangerous nature of the prisoner.
Prisoners get away from time to time in every country, and ostensibly there is no need to get too excited over the operational failure represented by Sela's flight. However, in the Israeli case, this is not an accident but rather a phenomenon. Every time circumstances require the rug to be lifted in areas where the state's authorities operate, there is desolation, neglect and hair-raising abandonment to be found underneath.
Sometimes it appears that there is no good left in the public administration and that the habitude with which it operates is a thin veneer covering an abyss. Wherever the spotlight is turned, shameful organizational reality appears: In the Israel Defense Forces, the police, the Shin Bet security service (the Rabin murder), the local authorities (safety of educational institutions), the health services (supervision of baby food), the authorities responsible for road safety (train crossings and roads) - and those are only examples.
The cumulative impression is one of a dismal culture of management at the base of which is the shouldering of minimal responsibility and the dependence on an external image. What is important to the workers and their supervisors is the appearance of functioning properly, while they lack serious concern about whether the functioning is in fact proper.
This is an overall socio-cultural phenomenon, and it stems from the way in which young people are educated in this country. You find it in every corner of the business sector: In the way in which salespeople identify with their work and in the effort they make; in the reliability with which business people supply their merchandise; in the way service providers keep their promises. There are islands of quality in the private sector as well as in the public sector, but the general picture is one of shoddiness and carelessness wrapped up in artifice.

Mmmmm. Steak. Yummy perfect steak.
And tough, chewy, hugely flavorful minute steaks with lots of gooey cheese and sauteed onions and green peppers.
Think I will have a Philly Cheesesteak for dinner. Nice suggestion.

Hi, I want to usee custom fonts (from .otf or .ttf formats) within my site http://cheeses.testingse.com
Can someone tell me how this can be done.
ThanksMarch 2, 2012 at 11:56 am #65524
Hi does any one have a response for this please?March 7, 2012 at 10:02 am #65525
to use custom fonts there are some great guides. For example: (Purchase code hidden if logged out) -face/" class="bbcode_url">This one or just a fast snippet:css-tricks.com/font-face.
To use these you can add the given CSS to the top of your custom.css and add the styling to whichever element you'd like as explained in this support topics.
If you'd like to use Google Fonts try (Purchase code hidden if logged out) -fonts#post-37057″ class="bbcode_url">this support topic..
I hope this helps.
ChrisMarch 12, 2012 at 7:33 pm #65526
I tried doing what the tutorial said. I put the following into the custom.css as well as the quick css option file and it didn't change the font.
Is there something that i'm missing?
@font-face {
font-family: 'LondonTubeNormal';
src: url('london-tube-webfont.eot');
src: url('london-tube-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('london-tube-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('london-tube-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('london-tube-webfont.svg#LondonTubeNormal') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}March 14, 2012 at 7:34 am #65527
Make sure that the font files are located in the same folder like custom.css. Otherwise you need to adjust the source paths.
Best regards,
PeterMarch 14, 2012 at 4:20 pm #65528
Hi Dude,
I created the font face files and put them in a folder called type within the css folder (the one that contains the custom css files)
Do i need to set each of the h1,h2 etc. tags to the new font in the quick css or the custom css file?March 15, 2012 at 1:10 pm #65529
I inserted the following into my custom css below the code i pasted earlier (@font face etc.) and it still doesn't seem to have had an effect on the font family used in the site.
h1{font-family: 'LondonTubeNormal' !important;}
Can someone help with this please?March 19, 2012 at 5:55 am #65530
The fonts can't be found on your server – please check the file names. I tried to download http://cheeses.testingse.com/wp-content/themes/propulsion/css/london-tube-webfont.ttf but I get a 404 error. You need to change the file names of the files or change them in custom.css.March 23, 2012 at 3:53 pm #65531
Is there a way i can use this font on certain elements as well as changing the colour that it appears in. Example all h1 heading to be the new font and #XXXXXX colour?
SaranganMarch 24, 2012 at 7:14 am #65532
Yes – sure. You can use the font-family property: http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_font_font-family.asp to change the font family of certain elements.
PeterMarch 28, 2012 at 6:22 pm #65533
I've been trying to change the h5 style so that it doesn't use small-caps and has a bigger font size. I used
h5{font-family: 'LondonTubeNormal' !important;
color: #3DA5DC;
font-variant: normal;
font-size: length 30px;}
in the custom css and it hasn't removed the small caps or increased the size.
on the home page "
WELCOME TO CHEESES ONLINE, CHEESE LOVERS." textMarch 29, 2012 at 6:42 pm #65534
Hi saranganv,
Remove "length" after font-size: then add underneath font-size: 30px; this code:
text-transform: none;
MyaMarch 30, 2012 at 12:49 pm #65535
h5{font-family: 'LondonTubeNormal' !important;
color: #3DA5DC;
font-variant: normal;
font-size: 30px;
text-transform: none;}
The "Welcome to Cheeses…" text is still the same size, and in Small Caps#
Not sure what went wrong there.March 31, 2012 at 8:58 am #65536
have you tried using this code:
.entry-content h5 {
font-size: 30px;
text-transform: none;
You can put it in the Quick CSS or in the custom.css file.
Make sure to refresh your cache after adding the code in.

Major League Soccer went on the defensive side of the ball with the final three players in the seven-man class of 2014 Generation adidas players, announcing on Wednesday that center backs Christian Dean, AJ Cochran and Damion Lowe have forgone their college eligibility to enter the 2014 MLS SuperDraft.
Five youth international players were also announced as eligible for the SuperDraft and will participate in the MLS Combine beginning on Friday in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
Dean played 55 matches in three seasons for California, recording one goal and six assists. Cochran was a First Team All-American in his junior season at Wisconsin, prompting him to leave early to embark on his pro career. Lowe had five goals and two assists as a junior at Hartford.
That trio joins goalkeeper Andre Blake, defender Eric Miller, midfielder Marlon Hairston and Schillo Tshuma to complete the 2014 Generation adidas class.
Meanwhile, MLS also announced that youth internationals Braian Acuna (Argentina), Quinton Christina (Curacao), Andre Lewis (Jamaica), Ronny Mendoza (Ecuador) and Stefano Rijssel (Suriname) will look to make a splash at the Combine before next Thursday's SuperDraft. Christina and Rijssel impressed already at the Caribbean Combine last week to earn invites to the Combine in Florida.
The Crew ran its list of Homegrown players to seven on Wednesday with the signing of defender Ross Friedman and midfielder Matt Walker. Both had completed their college eligibility – Walker at Xavier University and Friedman at Harvard. Walker had 26 goals and 24 assists in 79 matches while Friedman played 56 matches, registering 17 assists.
After two seasons under Head Coach Jamie Clark at the University of Washington, former Huskies and A-League Sounders defender Craig Waibel has moved into the MLS ranks, joining the Real Sal Lake coaching staff as an assistant to new Head Coach Jeff Cassar. Waibel played 11 seasons in MLS with the Colorado Rapids, LA Galaxy, San Jose Earthquakes and Houston Dynamo before retiring in 2010.
The LA Galaxy added to its attacking corpse on Tuesday with the addition of Brazilian forward Samuel on loan from Fluminense in Brazil's first division. The 22-year-old target forward had nine goals in 47 league matches over the last two seasons in his native Brazil and will look to bolster an LA offense that already features Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane.
The NASL is bringing new meaning to the oft-used phrase "silly season." On Tuesday, the Fort Lauderdale Strikers sent 2012 NASL Best XI midfielder Walter Restrepo to the San Antonio Scorpions in exchange for hotel and travel expenses when the teams meet in June in Texas.
Restrepo had six goals and eight assists in his Best XI season in 2012, but had just two goals in 2013 for the Strikers.

http://www.time.com/time/magazine/artic ... 11,00.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;Buddha, the most placid of the prophets, would himself have been perturbed by a letter which was received last week at the Buddhist Center, of Manhattan. The letter was signed by Professor Nicholas Roerich; it had been despatched from the terrain that lies north of the Himalayas, where the Roerich American Expedition (TIME, June 4) is now located. It detailed, in approximately 5,000 words, the degradation which Nicholas Roerich had discovered in Tibet during his four-year sojourn thereabouts. In condensed form, the letter said: Buddhism in Tibet, its ancient stronghold, has become a depraved Shamanistic religion. The celebrated Tashi Lumpo monastery, residence of the abdicated Tashi Lama, has been deserted and desecrated. Lamas, teachers of the people, tell fortunes for alms, by the haunches of mutton, or dice; they beg and cheat; to mystify the ignorant, they mutter squeaky conjurations or play with human bones. The forest-dwelling Buddhists revere arrows and absurd amulets. Conscious reverence for Buddha is held by very few.
The business of Tibet has fallen into ruin. A pitiful hut is described, in official documents as "a snowy palace." . . . In the big villages there is not a single store. . . . "In twilight people come to you begging you to sell them something but they do not dare to trade openly. . . . It is dreadful to think that the name of Buddha is intermingled with all this dirt, physical and spiritual."

Oxford United kick off their Sky Bet League Two campaign this afternoon and skipper Jake Wright believes this summer's recruits mean the side are stronger than 12 months ago.
All six new signings are in the frame to make their debuts as Burton Albion visit the Kassam Stadium.
Although head coach Michael Appleton continues to look for reinforcements up front, Wright is full of confidence in the squad which has been assembled already.
And the captain thinks it is an improvement on the previous line-up, which eventually finished eighth.
He said: "I think we're in a lot stronger position than the start of last season.
"If I'm going to be honest, out of the six or seven who went there's maybe only two or three I would've wanted to keep.
"I'm obviously not going to name names, but with the other four I'm probably happy they've gone.
"I got on with every single player last year, but it's one of those times where you need to move on and achieve things.
"I think the players we've brought in this year really add to the team and put us in a very good position.
"I'm really looking forward to getting out there and trying to get three points on Saturday."
Starting with a home fixture is a rarity for the U's, whose last opener in the Football League to be played at the Kassam Stadium was in 2002.
Wright, who is a slight doubt for the game with an ankle injury, is aiming to give them something to shout about from day one.
He said: "We want to hit the ground running and be buzzing from the first home game.
"We want three points and get the fans right behind us, because they've obviously been a bit frustrated last year and I totally agree with how they were.
"We want to get them back onside.
"Three points would be brilliant against Burton, but as we saw last year, nothing's won or lost until the last game of the season."

lokhor: That sounds like a ridiculously low score for Nenamark, I usually get ~50fps on mine.
Your right, i re ran nenamark and it show best run as 48.1fps. still got 41.9 again. im not too worried, looks smooth. but bigger better faster more.....
The phone has gotten better over the last few days with a couple of power off and ons.
No noticable lag anymore. load times for menus seem slow at times but overall 500% better than it was straight after flash. No more errors, cell data is better, but i think there is room for improvement. Does anyone know if a good network benchmarking app?
Im still amazed it remembered all my wifi key, etc. lost my market list though.
i could restore a back it up with titanium but i would have to find a root app first.

New Year's Eve Ballad
It's true one year just ended
And that another one began
In places crowds did gather
They drank and offered cheer
There was singing and 'twas dancing
Celebrating the New Year.
As a child I do remember
This special time of year
When bedtime was extended
And the neighbors were all there
Together at the strike of twelve
Celebrating the New Year.
And as I grew much older
As did the other friends I know
We continued all to gather
As this special time did near
We talked of all the years past
Celebrating the New Year.
So many friends are gone now
So many that I knew
But always I remember
The times that we did bear
I think of them now as I am
Celebrating the New Year.
Last year we met such challenges
Not all glory, not all fun
But stood each with the other
As we chased away the fear
We faced just 'one day at a time' and now are
Celebrating the New Year.
Cheers I say to others
As I pop the cork and drink
Thinking now all days are special
Though life sometimes does seem unfair
Still I drink to health and happiness
Celebrating the New Year.

Walked six years, that way,
And watched this new suburb's trend.
Near Mysore Highway,
Close to Bengaluru's end.
Three storeys tall, stood,
This awesome tree-spread, so pretty.
Blue blossoms, good wood,
Half acre's canopy.
'Neath with sun-warmings,
Faded blue a carpet rose.
Of fallen, dried awnings,
Nature's cycle, as it goes.
Hanging Traffic Lights,
Often, brushed by its branches.
Red light, hid from sights,
Officials, took no chances.
The machinery,
Was then set into motion.
People versus tree,
Few friends, one odd emotion.
The huge saws came in,
Chopping through, the whole, big tree,
Adding noise and din,
Workmen yelled, 'Timber!' in glee.
The earthmovers filled,
The gaping hole with rubble.
The tree was thus killed,
At great cost and much trouble.
The decorators,
Carted leaves to weddings halls.
Such deft creators,
Blooms to florists' stalls.
The carpet-pile, twigs and chips,
All collected, swept,
Offals for funeral trips,
Departed unwept.
Their nests and hives gone,
The birds and the bees hovered,
Twittered , buzzed, flew on,
Their losses unrecovered.
The tree's life on earth,
Cut short, for sale by auction.
Fetched a pittance's worth,
The wood went for a fraction.
Traffic lights are safe now,
No mix-up of colour red.
Strange.. Green light, some how,
Blinks. Reminder of the dead.
Jacaranda tree,
God dressed your kind soul in wood.
You would have lived free,
You would have, lived, If you could.
Note: Offals: (OE for small twigs, straws etc used for lighting fire) Please Note:this poem (my original) is already entered in with Voices.net.com earlier...and i hope there is no objections to entering it here.

THE SHIP CAPTAIN'S LOVER (from my grandmother's life--her betrothed lost at sea on a whaling vessel in Norway 1890)
by Victoria Anderson-Throop
The winds blow free
And the winds blow cold
There never was a man so bold
As the man I loved who went to sea
The month he was to marry me
Times were hard
And times were tough
Winds were cold
North seas were rough
But a whaling man will fight for breath
Dare the sea , defy their death
He ordered his crew
"come follow me
Who fears to sail
Is cowardly"
"No, don't leave me--
Please --I called"
He slapped me then
He was appalled
I had shamed him with my fear
I should have handed him his gear
And wished him well upon his way
Gone on like any other day
A woman's place is by the shore
Nothing less and nothing more
She never begs and never cries
Unless her own beloved dies
While I waited on the shore
Fear seeped out of every pore
Days went by
And then a week
Tears were shed by brave and meek
Life was bitter, life was sour
A bell was sounded from the tower
For each beloved man
Now lost--
What a bitter
Deadly cost.
And , for me,
My life's in tatters.
Men don't know the thing that matters--
I wish I had my man so sweet
Not my world
Thrown at my feet.
Oh darlin' babe now in my arms
Don't fall victim to wild charms
When the sea calls in your head
Stay at home-- die in your bed

The King hosted a feast,
as it was his custom,
to once a year, feed the least
blessed in his kingdom.
So the ragged came in flocks
and in the courtyard gathered,
hushed in anticipation
of, finally, a warm supper.
All the King's men guided
them, so it will be orderly
along dozen long tables
arranged conformingly.
The guests then sat, food was served,
each with equal servings;
a plate of veggies, a cut of meat,
rice and corn soup steaming.
Among those who supped was
Jeremiah Macabenta,
perhaps the most haughty glutton
of the millennia.
His infamy was that, amongst
vagrants, he could
eat in one meal what
normally three men took.
Though he was looked upon
as comically fat,
his life as a rat
was tragically sad.
—having no means of living
at that—
so to the King's dinner, an
invitation, he got.
Back to the feast, after servings
were done,
Jeremiah called for one of
the servers to come;
He said, 'Look at my plate,
of meat, it has none.
Only veggies, rice and soup! '
So the server gave him one.
Just then a cat with fur
shiny and black
—which, according to myth, is
the cause of bad luck—
suddenly jumped onto an
eating lady's lap,
who then shoo'ed it away;
to the table it leapt back.
Landing in chaos upon
Jeremiah's place,
exposing two pieces of meat
he hid under his plate;
caught red-handed, he'd only
sheepishly grin,
while the King's witnessed this,
much to his chagrin.
The King then ordered Jeremiah
banished from the tables,
of controlling his anger,
he was barely able;
shocked that this tramp would
abuse his charity,
when he most wanted to
treat his guests equally.
Now this is where it's not
clearly distinguished
what truly transpired from
only just gossip;
for it was manifested that
Jeremiah was punished,
but the story that spread
was incredibly horrid
It was said that Jeremiah
was chained onto a rock
and into his mouth, food was
endlessly stuffed,
till he choked and gasped
and breathed his last air,
while bits and morsels trickled
down his nose and ear.
(And to confound the story
of Jeremiah's end,
after the feast, he was never
heard from again.)
Perhaps the moral is this:
we should never take advantage
should the kindness that is
shared to us we acknowledge,
lest we fall into the pit
of Jeremiah's plight
—in gluttony he lived,
in gluttony he died.

Break my legs and make me run
Take my sight and give me the sun
Throw me down without a rope
And I'll still climb to find my hope
Burn my flesh, don't tell me why
Make a game of silence when I cry
Teach me wrong and say all's right
But I'll still crawl and find a place of light
It's all I am when truth will fade
Even alone, and in my grave
I keep rising despite my hurt
Because in my darkness I can feel the earth
Crawled through hell and found myself
My strength's still here, so is my health
The burns have made my skin so tough
And my deeper vision can see my love
It's all I am when lies will leave
I can not fall, I'll always breathe
I keep ascending despite the dark
Because the deepest fears can't take my heart

Rusted wire against a tree
Year by year recedes
Inside of the circling bark, invisibly
Consumed. Relentlessly, the oak tree feeds.
The countless rings of outer bark
Enwrap the wire within.
Thus Time is absorbing me. I mark
The circles choking me. I'm taut, stretched thin.

The Bottom Line / Yigal, We Sorely Miss You
The figures released yesterday by the Central Bureau of Statistics confirmed what we have all known for some time, that 2001 was one of the worst years for the Israeli economy.
The figures released yesterday by the Central Bureau of Statistics confirmed what we have all known for some time, that 2001 was one of the worst years for the Israeli economy. However, there is no place for comparison with the austerity years.
In the first nine months of 2000, we were riding on a wave, believing that we were on the road to great happiness, but in October these dreams were dashed two times - the Al-Aqsa Intifada broke out and the Nasdaq crashed. The results came through in 2001; a drop in the gross domestic product by 0.5 percent, shrinking of the business sector by 2.1 percent, a rise in unemployment to 9 percent, a sharp fall in exports, a widening balance of payments deficit, falling investment in construction and machinery, while the one figure that has kept its head above water is a low and stable inflation rate. If that had also collapsed, the socio-economic crisis which we find ourselves in would be even worse.
We can't even look with hope toward the future - praise be to Him if only we could - due to such a broad government (83 Knesset members in the coalition) that weakens it. The prime minister controls neither coalition partners nor Knesset members, including his own Likud faction. Revisions to the 2002 government budget were brought to the cabinet quite late, as Finance Minister Silvan Shalom insisted until the last moment that the economy would grow next year by 4 percent. But now that he is finally going in the right direction (apart from his stand on the Negev Law), he is being thwarted by a cynical Knesset which seems not remotely interested in the socio-economic state, but rather in feathering one's own nest.
Every MK is a law to himself, which is why we start 2002 without an approved state budget that, due to expensive populist legislation, is damaging the economy and the infrastructure.
The gap between the real needs of the economy and the use of resources for political purposes continues to grow. Just take a look at Eli Yishai and his "Fifth Child Law," or Amir Peretz who broke up talks on an economic emergency deal. And for as long as the quarrel between Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Shalom continues, the crisis worsens and the economy suffers. It is always hard to be finance minister, but when the prime minister fails to support you, all is lost and so is the economy.
Now is the time that we miss someone in particular, who is no longer with us, who took the wheel in steering the economy in 1979 and didn't hesitate to tell the truth directly without political accounting and with no concern to his own fate. Someone who used to cry from the heart: Don't be crazy! Get off the roof!, and who resigned when teachers received a raise against his advice. How right he was. He was a prophet of truth. But we failed to listen, and so the economy spiraled downward to crisis proportion, hyperinflation and the last dollar. Yigal Horowitz is sorely missed today.

Razia wins Sepang season-opener
|L. Razia
|D. Valsecchi
|M. Chilton
24 March 2012 – Arden's Luiz Razia claimed victory in the opening race of the 2012 GP2 season in Malaysia this morning, taking advantage of pole-sitter Davide Valsecchi's poor getaway at the start of the 30-lap race. The latter ultimately wound up in second place, while Britain's Max Chilton earned Carlin its first podium finish in the series.
After his slow launch, Valsecchi slipped back to fourth, but was able to carve his way back through the field and set about attacking leader Razia. However, the latter soon replied and put any chance of a position change to bed, with Valsecchi having to settle for the runner-up spot. Behind Chilton, Fabio Leimer held off Stefano Coletti for fourth.
The title of best rookie went to Felipe Nasr who guided his DAMS machine to sixth place, ahead of a much improved Esteban Gutiérrez and Britain's James Calado. Giedo van der Garde and Fabrizio Crestani rounded out the top ten, while strong starter Jolyon Palmer missed out on points after stalling on the grid.
Sunday's Sprint Race begins at 2.15pm local time (BST +8)

May 04, 2014 Phil Blackwell Uncategorized
With the power to see its season end in renewal or ruin, the Skaneateles boys lacrosse team desperately wanted to choose the first, and more productive path – and did so.
When the Lakers squandered a four-goal, fourth-quarter lead and lost in overtime to Marcellus on April 25, it appeared on the brink of rising into the short list of challengers to reigning state champion Cazenovia in the local Class C ranks.
But the late-game rally by the Mustangs threatened everything, and Skaneateles, aware of that danger, made sure it didn't happen again in last Monday's trip to Jordan-Elbridge, where it controlled matters from start to finish and beat the Eagles 15-7.
Skaneateles made sure J-E didn't stage any sort of comeback, steadily gaining a 9-3 lead by halftime and matching everything the Eagles produced in a pivotal third quarter before a shutout in the final period settled matters.
Jack Dawley finished with four goals, while Tyler Strods and Sam Duggan each had three-goal hat tricks. Owen Kuhns added two goals and two assists.
Cullen McGlynn contributed one goal and one assist, with Alex Dunn and Colin Foehl also finding the net. Griffen Lawson added an assist. That helped overcome 21 saves by J-E goalie Nick Hallinan as Zach Wagner led the Eagles' attack with two goals and two assists.
The Lakers made it back-to-back wins on Thursday night, handling Onondaga 14-2 and officially clinching a Section III Class C playoff berth.
It took a while for Skaneateles to hit its top gear, as only Strods and Connor Hill scored in the first quarter, but McGlynn and Hill got goals 43 seconds apart early in the second period to double that margin.
Duggan joined in with a pair of goals later in that quarter, and Hill had a hat trick by halftime, the Lakers enjoying an 8-0 lead and adding to it later with goals from McGlynn, Dawley, Kuhns and Dawley.
Then, in Saturday's game at Cortland, things got wild, with neither defense in top form, but when it was settled, the Lakers had pulled out an 18-14 victory over the Purple Tigers.
Strods, with four goals and three assists, led a potent attack where Kuhns found the net five times and Hill managed his own three-goal hat trick. Duggan had two goals and one assist, while Dawley and Kevin Goetzmann had the other goals. Matt May led Cortland with four goals and one assist.
All of these wins put the Lakers at 8-4 and clinched a Section III Class C playoff berth. But two more big regular-season games remained as Skaneateles visits CBA Thursday night at Alibrandi Stadium and battles defending state Class C champion Cazenovia next Monday.

NAYPYITAW, Myanmar, Nov. 3 (UPI) -- The head of the European Commission has offered Myanmar $100 million in development aid as economic sanctions by Western governments come to an end.
EC President Jose Manuel Barroso announced the economic package during talks with President Thein Sein in the Myanmarese capital of Naypyitaw, the BBC reported Saturday.
The two leaders discussed ways of boosting trade between Myanmar and the European Union. Myanmar has enacted a foreign investment law designed to attract overseas companies.
The EU recently ended decades-long sanctions against the country, formerly known as Burma, after the military-backed government instituted democratic reforms.
The EU is offering Myanmar the same trade privileges as other low-income countries and will fund a "peace center" that will work to resolve long-standing conflicts between the government and ethnic minorities, the report said.
Barroso also met with opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi regarding lingering violence between Rohingyas and Buddhists that has created 100,000 refugees.
She declined to take a position, saying it was not her place to take sides on the complex situation.

Fixed! Wii Character Moves by Itself
|This post is one of several on how to fix problems with your Nintendo Wii. To see the entire list, click here for the Nintendo Wii Repair Guide.
Occasionally I have experienced issues where my the cursor on my Nintendo goes a little haywire. It will move by itself to various sometime random areas of the screen, or it goes just gets stuck on a side or the corner of the screen.
I have had this happen to me when I was playing "The Bigs", a baseball game by 2K Sports that uses the Wii Remote and the Nunchuck heavily. The fix is a fairly easy one.
This usually indicates that the Nunchuk needs to be recalibrated. If the game uses the Nunchuk for movement, unplug the Nunchuk for ten seconds and then connect it again, making sure the control stick is not being pressed in any direction at the time you plug it in to allow the reset of the calibration.
If recalibrating the Nunchuk did not work, then the Nunchuk will need to be repaired.

GIF: Radko Gudas slashes at Panthers bench after being sprayed with waterbottle
Thomas Drance
An odd sequence punctuated the second period of Sunday evening's all-Florida hockey game between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Florida Panthers.
With just a bit over seven minutes left in the second frame, bearded Lightning defenseman Radko Gudas took a spill near the Florida Panthers bench. Panthers veteran Scott Upshall - a frequent healthy scratch of late - took the opportunity to channel John Tortorella and squirt Gudas with his water-bottle.
Gudas' reaction was a bit over the top, and resulted in a game misconduct for the young Lightning defender. Here's a .gif of Gudas' slash:

Scott Upshall was assessed a bench minor for unsportsmanlike conduct for his Supersoaker hi-jinks.

Today I have returned from what started out as a very good round. However, for some unknown reason the top seam of the K1 has split across the front and centrally from front to rear. Is this a defect? Has anyone else experienced this?… Read Full Review

An all round fantastic deal and club i wasn't expecting for it to make so much difference to me and my game and having confidence in driving changes so much in a game of golf. I also found the rescue wood that comes with it a fantastic club too since buying a few clubs have found themselves homeless from my bag.
But lets not forget this is just my opinion and i think its a fantastic club but at some JJb branches you can try before you buy… Read Full Review

I bought one of these for my son, it was cheap and first impressions were good. I've used it on occassion to see what it hits like and it isn't much worse than drivers i've had in the past that have cost much much more. Apparently there was a problem with the head splitting but we've had not problems with this one. The K1 Speed is basically a good value driver ideal for the budding golfer, not perfect for the seasoned golfer perhaps but good to keep a beginners to the sport enthusiasm up until… Read Full Review

It might even be worth risking the curse of Dan O'Brien if you get your name on a dope Nike Trainer SC 2010 like Bryan Clay here. Then again, the shoe was made for training, and that's exactly what Clay is up to right now, in hopes of reaching London's decathlon in 2012. Plenty of dudes will have his name on their minds between now and then, and that's cos of this dope colourway, not necessarily the popularity of amateur track and field in America. But who doesn't love a silver and neon hookup on the beefiest of Nike's Flywire-equipped Trainer redux series? Look for these know at select Nike retailers worldwide.

My FWW maintains that she figured out the Why of her ONS at a class reunion. She attended IC for a couple of months and came up with being drunk, depressed, and feeling like she went back in time during the reunion.
I've never really accepted that this gets down to the Why at all, more like the who, what, where, and when. Would this be an acceptable Why answer? Always seemed like a cop out to me, maybe I'm wrong. I'd like to know if I am.
Of course, that doesn't excuse her behavior. She made a choice to have a ONS.
Maybe it's hard to accept this answer because you can't believe she would risk her M just because she was drunk and feeling down. And that's okay.You are entitled to have those feelings as well.
I think it's hard for most of us to accept the why's. Because more often than not the why is, "Because I could and I wanted to." Basically, it's selfishness.
Trust is like paper. Once it's crumpled it can never be perfect again.
More importantly what has she done to ensure that this won't happen again?
I think initally in R, or WS self actualization you get some fairly glossy, superficial excuses. As you work on healing, though they have to dig deeper, keep peeling the layers back. If you allow her to say yup thats it and not dig deeper, what's to keep her from becoming depressed again? What's to keep from drinking to the point where it's ok to have sex with another man? What's to keep her from "time traveling"?
IMO its more important for the WS to get to the WHY than it is for the BS to understand it.
A better question is HOW.
HOW did WW feel it was ok to cheat?
HOW did she make that decision?
HOW could she have you and her M in her mind and still feel it was ok to cheat?
To me *HOW* is a process and *WHY* is an excuse. YMMV tho
Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
what's to keep her from becoming depressed again? What's to keep from drinking to the point where it's ok to have sex with another man? What's to keep her from "time traveling"?
I basically ask her these questions. Most of the answers involve not doing something. For instance, she's not taking trips by herself to build the trust back. I try to tell her that something like that isn't all that helpful because its not really and action and eventually, she'll probably take a trip by herself. Square one.
Razor, I think FWW sees the How and Why the same so from her the answer is the same. Personally, I think I understand the actual Why. At least I've got a good enough picture of it and it really isn't the same as drunk and depressed, not in my head. I just don't think she's really dug into it, I think she's found an easy out. She really hasn't embraced the R process to any degree and I think this comes up because of that.
1. she had the opportunity
2. she knew she could get away with it (at least for awhile)
3. she wanted to
Simple as that.
HOW tho is more complicated. HOW is all about the internal validation she made.
I like to break what is normally just the why question into 2. the why and how. When I asked why questions all I got from my WW were justifications and excuses. But when I asked questions like *how was it ok for you to break your vows?* the answers became deeper and more soul searching on her part.
being drunk, depressed, and feeling like she went back in time during the reunion.
This is where I would focus. It's a superficial answer that does not address why she was depressed and longing for the past. It sounds like she may be unhappy/unfulfilled in her current life and the excitement of the affair offered her an escape from what she sees as her boring, depressing everyday life.
Do not see this as a reflection on yourself. However, this an opportunity for you to find out why she feels unfulfilled/depressed and see if you can help make her life happier.
So sorry you have to go through this.
ETA: I would recommend the following book by Scott Haltzman to help you gain some insight:

For the very last time in office, Mayor Richard Daley on Thursday took over a Chicago Public School as Principal for a Day.
It was a program he started 12 years ago.
"At that time they had barriers, you couldn't come in. Now we broke all those barriers down," Daley said, speaking at Orr Academy High School. "How do you connect people into a public school system? Most people view public school systems, 'Hey I pay my taxes. You're supposed to perform. You go do it.'"
The program has been a big success for the mayor, who very publicly took personal responsibility for the school system.
"After 21 years, the greatest opportunity I had was to take responsibility for public schools," he said.
Daley thanked big donors, such as the CEO of Sachs Capital group, for contributing $100,000 for a new stock market program at John F. Kennedy and TEAM Englewood High Schools.
He said everyone should contribute and be a role model.
"Parents have to sacrifice. They have to have their own drives, whether it's washing cars or volunteering, $500 or $100, because they bought into the system."
When Principal for a Day started in 1998, there were 677 participants. There were more than 1,500 on Thursday, with the program raising hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Those donations stirred some controversy earlier in the week week when it came to light that the registration form for volunteers seemingly required a donation of $1,000.
Chicago Public Schools CEO Ron Huberman later clarified, saying it was meant to be a just suggestion to donate, not a requirement.
After the final bell rang, the Principals for a Day and their school hosts attended a reception at the Navy Pier Grand Ballroom to honor the mayor for his vision.

From the very beginning of his career, Angelo Bellobono has always placed humanity and the territory at the centre of his artistic research, stressing the difficult relations of belonging and identity, understood not simply in the socio-cultural sense but also in a biological sense. The mechanisms by which biochemistry translates into behaviours and emotions is the thread running through all his paintings, videos and performances, taking the emphasis away from the presumed spirituality animating human existence.
His portraits thus convey a sense of dramatic irony, lost in a blinding whiteness or in a dark sea of crude oil, at once liquid and solid, conceptually unstable and temporary, dependent on their chemical sense of biological precariousness. They reveal the constant efforts made to seek out an identity and a place in which to belong, a constant freezing and unfreezing of hidden or denied existences and of an ideal well-being. Bellobono gives form and consistency to a sampler of emotions experienced by all human beings; in his most recent works, which also probe the drive to immigrate, this investigation once again combines painting with performance and video art.
