A plane in every driveway! Welcome to the Top Gun village where people fly to work
WE reckon if we lived in this village the commute to work each day wouldn't be so bad.
That's because everyone in the Spruce Creek community of Florida owns their own plane.
Driveways are filled with planes after around 5,000 resident made the former military base their home.
And fittingly Top Gun star Tom Cruise and ex-wife Nicole Kidman stayed at Spruce Creek when filming Days of Thunder in 1990.
The location was ideal for the cast and crew because it is seven miles south of Daytona Beach and the Daytona International Speedway, where the racing drama was filmed.
Signs are dotted around the streets of the All-American village, particularly near the 18 hole golf course where teeing off could be hazardous because of low-flying planes.
Prices for properties in the fly-in community range from £100,000 for a small condo to millions of pounds for a hangar mansion.
"It really illustrates the spirit and vitality of this special community"A spokesperson for Karlhaus Realty
A spokesperson for Karlhaus Realty said: "The sign that reads, 'Caution, Children and Adults at Play' is the first thing a visitor sees after driving through the security gates.
"It really illustrates the spirit and vitality of this special community.
"Airplanes are everywhere.
"It is possible to drive in the community without realising it is an airpark, yet there is a real airport and even a commercial area in the centre of the expansive tree-filled grounds.
"Newcomers are treated to parties where they meet other residents and quickly join in the Spruce Creek lifestyle.
"In this neighbourhood, an open hangar is an invitation to stop and chat."

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Sep. 1, 2009) -- The festive Aug. 26 opening celebration for the Jack Swigert Aerospace Academy in Colorado Springs featured special guest Virginia Swigert, sister of astronaut John L. "Jack" Swigert, for whom the school is named.
Jack Swigert served on NASA's Apollo 7 and Apollo 13 missions and died from bone cancer in 1982 shortly after being elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. The Space Foundation was founded in part to honor his memory and accomplishments.
Ms. Swigert traveled from the Denver area to attend the celebration dedicating the school to her brother's memory. She said that although her brother never had children, "he loved children and always took time to give them attention and encouragement."
The Jack Swigert Aerospace Academy is a unique aerospace-themed public middle school created through a partnership between the Space Foundation and Colorado Springs School District 11 (D-11).
The celebration, which was covered widely on local Colorado Springs media, began with the arrival of a Colorado Springs Police Department helicopter. A formal ceremony included a space launch video, a color guard from Ft. Carson Army Post, presentation of a school photo to Ms. Swigert, and presentation of a statue of Jack Swigert to the Academy. Formal comments were made by:
Afterwards, D-11 served lunch on the ground and the Space Foundation treated students to rocket popsicles while its education staff launched various rockets in the grassy courtyard outside the Space Foundation Discovery Institute, which is co-located on the campus.
Virginia Swigert shared remembrances about her famous brother and summed up the day's events, "He would have been pleased."

The trade deadline is one month away and there's little chance the Calgary Flames will do anything radical to their roster.
Few teams will be active given cap restrictions that will render all-day coverage on Feb. 27 a colossal waste of programming that could otherwise be used for paintball championships.
The reality is, the Flames aren't missing much.
Daymond Langkow's top line is as potent as the league has (no matter who plays on it), Matthew Lombardi's second unit has helped turn the club into one of the league's highest-scoring teams and the balance of third- and fourth-line checkers have fared well enough to keep their jobs, outside of Jeff Friesen and Jamie Lundmark, of course.
The goaltending tandem is solid and the emergence of Mark Giordano has ensured the top six defencemen are competent enough to keep Andrei Zyuzin in the press box with regularity.
And while you know Darryl Sutter is looking hard to find the next Marcus Nilson or Ville Nieminen, who arrived quietly near the trade deadline to pay big dividends, there is one acquisition out there as obvious as a streaker at Safeway: Bringing back The Eliminator, Martin Gelinas.
Currently playing out the string in Florida where he'll walk as an unrestricted free agent at season's end, Gelinas would easily be farmed out to any team willing to give up a fourth- or fifth-round draft pick.
Truth is, few teams would be interested in the 36-year-old workhorse who has just six goals and 15 assists in 50 games. He's only being used 12 minutes a night.
Nowhere in the world would he be more appreciated than Calgary where the feisty left-winger became a local icon after scoring the winning goal in each of the first three rounds of the club's 2004 playoff run.
Reporting to camp every year as the fittest Flame, Gelinas epitomized the work ethic and heart that got the Flames one goal from a Stanley Cup that year.
Two years later, could he duplicate his heroics down the stretch or into the playoffs? Not on your life.
But what the extremely likable Frenchman can do is bolster the Flames' dressing-room character and experience while improving the club's depth.
It simply makes too much sense not to be looked at.
The sentimental favourite, a fan favourite, a players' favourite.
Mr. Clutch.
While Flames fans dream of seeing Gary Roberts back in Flames togs or Peter Forsberg crashing around in Cowtown, neither could fit under the club's cap structure without shipping out a pricey player in return.
Sutter has no desire to shake the club up in such fashion or give up any of the prospects he's worked so hard to stockpile.
Gelinas only makes $975,000, putting the Flames on the hook for roughly $225,000 if he's acquired Feb. 27.
Every time he's asked --from the day he signed with Florida to the day he visited with the Panthers earlier this month -- Gelinas reiterates his love for Calgary, where he rented out his home to Roman Hamrlik.
He would've signed here for less money but couldn't turn down the security of Florida's two-year offer.
Well, now Sutter only has to make a two- or three- month commitment without giving up much at all.
He just has to decide if Gelinas can still help this club.
He can. He would.
Make the deal.

Charities: fraud and financial crime
- From:
- The Charity Commission
- Part of:
- Protecting charities from harm: compliance toolkit, Your charity's work, and Managing your charity
- Published:
- 3 April 2011
- Applies to:
- England and Wales (see publications for Northern Ireland and Scotland)
Helps trustees and other charity managers identify fraud risks, recognise common types of fraudulent activity and prevent fraud occurring.
Compliance toolkit chapter 3: Summary
PDF, 401KB, 4 pages
Chapter 3: Fraud and financial crime
PDF, 628KB, 60 pages
The charity sector in England and Wales is very large and diverse. With a total annual income of well over £69 billion it is not surprising that opportunities exist for fraud and other types of financial crime. The National Crime Agency estimates that individuals, the private sector and the charity sector lose billions of pounds each year to fraud.
Trustees have a duty to manage their charity's resources responsibly and must ensure that its funds are properly protected, applied and accounted for.
Because of the range and diversity of charitable activity there is no single method of financial control that will be suitable for all charities and all situations; trustees should use their knowledge of their individual charities, and their judgement, to decide the best systems for them to adopt.
Chapter 3 of the commission's compliance toolkit provides guidance to help trustees and other charity managers:
- be aware of fraud-related risks their charity can face
- recognise some of the most common types of fraudulent activity
- devise ways to prevent fraud occurring
- report fraud if it does occur

Re: exercise and weight loss with fibromyalgia
Blue I am so happy for you and dare I say proud of you too! You know I started a quest last fall and I did well until the first of the year and all 'heck' broke loose with braveman. I am not using that as an excuse just saying I didn't have the time to worry about such things and when stress hits me I could gain weight on air. That said I have been resuming my quest of healthier eating lately and I can tell a big difference. I haven't made the exercise class in the last couple of weeks, too many doc appt.s and too much flaring but it will happen.
You are such an inspiration, you are proof that it just takes time and perserverence. Attitude is everything and it isn't in my nature to say 'I give up' and you prove that point.
Single digits, you have given me a goal to work for I am still in the double digits and thought that getting to a smaller double digit would be great but I won't give up until I am in the single digits, I have a new goal to work on.
Love ya sister congrats on making your hard earned goal!!!!

(KYTX) - The City of Tyler has reached a major milestone by exceeding $5 million in hard and soft dollar savings through the implementation of their Lean Six Sigma Program. To date, 92 Lean Six Sigma projects have been completed by City employees trained in the methodology.
"Lean Six Sigma helps identify the waste and variation that occurs in everyday processes," said Tyler Mayor Barbara Bass. "The program provides a structured approach for improving efficiency – which saves both time and money."
The City originally launched its Lean Six Sigma Program in 2009 with the hiring of a Master Black Belt. Since that time the program has been expanded to include most City departments. Nearly 27 percent of the City's workforces has been trained in the methodology. These employees work on Lean Six Sigma projects in conjunction with their normal job duties.
"All of our Green Belts and Black Belts have completed projects that are focused on improving a city process, saving either time or money," added Mayor Bass. "Many other City employees have participated on project teams that put improvement into the hands of those most familiar with the process – our front line employees."
"In the last few years, Tyler, like most of the nation, experienced tough economic times," said City Manager Mark McDaniel. "Decreasing sales tax revenue and stagnant property values led us on a journey to work even more efficiently. I believe our results speak for themselves."
Tyler has one of the lowest property tax rates in the state, a AAA bond rating and no general obligation debt.
Lean is set of tools that are based upon the Toyota Production System. The overall goal is to eliminate non-value added waste in a process.
Six-Sigma is a business management strategy, originally developed by Motorola in 1986. Today it is widely used in many sectors of industry. Six Sigma seeks to improve the quality of processes by identifying and removing the causes of errors and variation.
"Lean Six Sigma is an opportunity to further enhance our commitment to setting the standard for responsive local government," said McDaniel.

The Duke and Duchess, doing good.
On Wednesday, in the midst of their jam-packed North American tour, Prince William and Duchess Kate paid an unscheduled visit to Slave Lake. Located in Northern Alberta, Canada, the town of 7,000 was nearly razed to the ground by a devastating May 15 wildfire. Although there were thankfully no deaths in the disaster — Slave Lake was completely evacuated — an astonishing 40 percent of the town (homes, the town hall, downtown businesses, a shopping mall) were destroyed.
William and Kate, both 29, toured Slave Lake for an hour and a half for the surprise visit. "It wasn't a last minute decision," explains Kevin MacLeod, Canadian secretary to the Queen. "Their overwhelming concern was that they did not want a public announcement early on for fear that it would somehow detract from those people who are now putting in place all the reconstruction efforts."
Braving the fierce sunshine and heat, most of Slave Lake's denizens greeted the royals with flowers, balloons and posters ("We love you for coming," and "Welcome Will and Kate".)
One local, 28-year-old Maria Sharpe, showed Willam and Kate a special photo — one of the only things salvaged from her destroyed home — taken on the day of the royal wedding, when she and her pals threw a party to celebrate the nuptials.
"This picture is special to me because it is a reminder of my home," Sharpe told Us Weekly. "It was an awful thing to happen, but in some ways it turned the community into a family. And being gathered here with everyone today to meet Kate and William to welcome them here brings us even closer."
PHOTOS: See more pics of Kate and Will's visit from PopSugar
"Having Kate and William take time out of their schedule to come here is such a boost for this community," added Denise Camarneiro, a 40-year-old married mother of two, whose home burned down in the blaze.
She had high praise for the Duke and and Duchess. "They seem very compassionate," Camarneiro said. "Kate," she added, "Reminds me a lot of Diana."

Color by number
4576 votes in 2010. So, comparable numbers, if not a little lower.
Given that 2006 was a Democratic year, and Nelson was a foreshadowing of what would happen that fall, we can probably expect a more conservative turnout this election. However, it will be interesting to see who can take better advantage, Nelson or Scrima.

LONDON (Reuters) - The head of Britain's new financial watchdog lacks adequate experience in the core role of protecting consumers and will need to demonstrate he will improve choice, British lawmakers said.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) formally starts in April as part of a shake up of supervision designed to plug gaps and failings highlighted by the financial crisis.
Britain is trying to draw a line under a litany of mis-selling scandals spanning two decades, covering home loans, pensions and more recently, loan insurance.
John Griffith-Jones, former Europe chairman of accounting firm KPMG KPMG.UL, will be the FCA's part-time non-executive chairman.
He was grilled by parliament's Treasury Select Committee late last year on his appointment and a report on the proceedings was published on Friday.
"His professional background lacks deep experience of some of the consumer-oriented conduct issues that will be a major part of the FCA's work," the report said.
The FCA's board must restore credibility to the conduct of regulation after the Financial Services Authority (FSA), which is being scrapped, failed consumers, it added.
"The challenges that Mr Griffith-Jones faces should not be underestimated. He will need to demonstrate that he has grasped their scale," the report said.
The FCA has two core objectives: protecting consumers and ensuring there is enough choice in financial markets.
"We will expect the FCA to demonstrate that it is doing everything it can to make the authorisation of would-be new entrants to the banking sector as fast and straightforward as possible," the committee said.
FSA Managing Director Martin Wheatley will be chief executive of the FCA.
The FSA said the new watchdog is committed to demonstrating it is delivering on its objectives, including competition.
"The FSA is already conducting its first study, looking at how markets in general insurance products sold as 'add-ons' may weaken competition and drive poor consumer outcomes," the FSA said. It has also created an FCA executive post for developing the approach to competition.

text: I'm working my way through Real World haskell, and so far have found the experience quite pleasant (though the harder exercises seem to require things net yet covered). Among the comments in the IO chapter was a discussion of whether or not some monad was or was not a function, which got me thinking. Values in haskell aren't evaluated until they're needed. They're implemented as thunks, meaning they're roughly zeroadic functions that will return the value when called. The syntax of the language seems to make treating values as zeroadic functions that return the value in question a reasonable interpretation as a degenerate case: (+) accepts two arguments and returns their sum. (+ 5) accepts one argument and returns that plus 5. (3 + 5) accepts zero arguments and returns 8. or (more pedantically): (+) accepts one argument and returns a function that accepts one argument and returns a zeroadic function that returns the value of the sum of the two arguments. (+ 5) accepts one argument and returns a zeroadic function that ... (3 + 5) a zeroadic function that returns 8 So the question is - is there any advantage or harm in this way of looking at values?

Avernum 6 - Review @ The Gamer Studio
by Dhruin, 2010-03-24 19:57:37
There's a short review of Avernum 6 at The Gamer Studio, although it probably doesn't tell our audience much. There's no score but the tone is quite positive:
Through the first portion of the game, where you gain your bearings, you are limited to where you can go. Once that little tutorial session is over, though, you are pretty much free to go wherever you like. You may not survive, but you can brave it if you want. In fact, you're pretty much on your own once you finish the beginning quests, which is a nice change of pace seeing as how nearly every game holds your hand these days. You'll be told where you need to go, but it's up to you to go there.

It's formidable, what a landscape!! Thanks so very much Sandy!!
Another great set -- thanks, CM!
Thank you young man.
People own these cars and schedule for the Rail Roads to pick them up and drop them off at various places along the line. You can travel all over the US in your own Car. I believe there is a website where you can rent or lease them for you own trip. Great set Sandy.
Good shot. Must have been a tight curve?
Very nice, Thanks.
Yep! Agree.
You know what they say? If you have to ask you can't afford it!
I would be interested to know too (or is that tu?) LOL I went to their site, but no fee info.
Pretty picture.
I wonder what it would cost to rent one of those cars?
Three vintage cars were being pulled for awhile behind the sleeper cars. They do not belong to Amtrak. They are privately owned and leased.

The Philadelphia Flyers will be big and nasty, the crowds at the Wachovia Center will be loud and possibly obscene and the Maple Leafs undoubtedly will be a little tired.
Is this any way to start a playoff series?
The guys in blue and white say yes.
"It's good," winger Chad Kilger said. "We're excited. We played our best game of the series in Game 7 (against the Ottawa Senators), so I think if we continue that momentum, it will be good."
Within 48 hours of eliminating the Senators, the Leafs will take to the ice tonight in Philadelphia to face a team that finished with two fewer points in the regular-season standings and enjoyed four complete days off before Game 1.
On top of that, the Leafs likely will open the Eastern Conference semi-finals without captain Mats Sundin and power forward Owen Nolan, who are still plagued with the dreaded lower body injuries.
Following an optional skate yesterday, the Leafs boarded a chartered flight and headed to the City of Brotherly Love.
This is a squad that could use a fortnight to rest and regroup. Toronto coach Pat Quinn understands that, but is hoping that some of the adrenalin and excitement of defeating Ottawa will result in a spirited affair in Game 1.
"There are a certain amount of reserves in everybody's body and you'd like time to build that back up, but (the schedule) doesn't provide that," he said. "So you hope there is some (momentum) from the joy of victory, so to speak, that will help us in (tonight's) game."
The schedule isn't all bad news for the Leafs.
Following tonight's Game 1, the Leafs and Flyers will get two days off, with Game 2 scheduled for Sunday in Philly. There also will be two days off before Game 3, back in Toronto next Wednesday.
On top of giving the players some much needed rest, the break will buy a little time for Sundin and Nolan who are both determined to return to action in this round.
Fatigue was certainly a factor in Toronto's Game 7 defeat in Philly during last year's Eastern quarter-final.
The Leafs recorded a dramatic 2-1 overtime win over the Flyers on April 21 and immediately flew to Philly for Game 7 on April 22.
With Game 6 going late and only one U.S. custom officer working at Pearson International, the players didn't get to bed until about 3 a.m. and came out flat in Game 7, losing the deciding game 6-1.
"Our guys will be ready," general manager John Ferguson Jr. said. "At the end of the day, I'm not sure that the schedule makes a heap of difference."
Maple Leafs aren't tired ... of winning

Next thing he overtakes me but so close that he very nearly rips my wing mirror off /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif, he then squeezes infront of me. Totally pointless manoeuvre as I was moving with the flow of the traffic and there was a car right infront of me anyway...w*nker!!! I gave him a blast of the horn and he made a fairly abusive gesture in his rear view mirror. Anyway I tailed him for another mile or so and as we came to a set of traffic lights which were on green they suddenly changed to red and as he was yet again up the **** of the car infront he ran into it!!! Bwahahahah!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif It was classic watching him sheepishly get out of his car whilst the woman from the car he'd just hit (a Porsche by the way) was giving him an earful and getting some paper out of her handbag so she could take his details. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif He didn't even give me a glance but if he had he would have seen a very smug grin on my face. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/fuck_you.gif I finally manoeuvred my way around the pair and resisted the temptation to wind my window down and make a smart comment.

DAYTON, Ohio — An Ohio woman convicted of killing her month-old baby daughter in a microwave oven was spared the death penalty and sentenced yesterday to life in prison without parole.
Montgomery County Common Pleas Judge Mary Wiseman sentenced China Arnold of Dayton, 31, who psychologists testified showed no signs of serious mental illness.
Arnold was convicted last week of aggravated murder by the same jury that recommended her punishment. Jurors deliberated about six hours Thursday and yesterday.
Prosecutors said Arnold intentionally put 28-day-old Paris Talley in a microwave and turned it on after a fight with her boyfriend. The couple had argued over whether he was the infant's biological father.
Defense attorney Jon Paul Rion argued that the evidence pointed as much to the boyfriend as it did to the child's mother, who Rion said was drunk at the time.
Medical experts testified that the baby died quickly after her temperature reached between 107 to 108 degrees Fahrenheit. They said she probably was in the microwave for more than two minutes.

Exclusive Media has hired former Imagine Entertainment executive Sarah Bowen as its new senior vice president of production, the company announced Friday. Bowen will report to Tobin Armbrust, the company's president of production and acquisitions.
The company has also hired Sarah Perlman Bremner as director of development, reporting to Armbrust.
Both executives will expand Exclusive's development and production pipeline. The company, which finances and handles international sales for a wide variety of titles, has also been producing and distributing an increasing number of movies.

Exclusive produced "Rush," Ron Howard's latest film starring Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Bruhl, as well as "Can A Song Save Your Life?," John Carney's latest film that scored the biggest deal at the Toronto Film Festival.
Exclusive worked with Bowen on "Rush."
"During Exclusive Media's collaboration with Imagine Entertainment on 'Rush' as well as the upcoming 'Pele,' we recognized what a dynamic, creative and passionate executive Sarah is and we welcome her to the company as we continue to focus on producing intelligent, story driven, theatrical films," Armbrust said in a statement.
Bowen worked at Imagine for more than a decade, overseeing projects like "American Gangster" and "Flightplan." Bremner worked at Sunny Field Entertainment.


text: I know there is a lot of debate around here regarding micro heads vs lead sleds and yada yada. My tube head is going nowhere, but it has let me down twice in two years. I think it's a good idea to invest in a class D head. For two reasons: Portability: Those rainy night thursday night gigs I don't really want to play, I don't want to kick my heavy tube amp around. Backup: It's nice to have an extra head in my gig bag. I see a lot of brands are putting out bad designs. To prevent debate, let's not mention them. I'm currently considering an Aguilar TH 350. The price and weight can't be beat. Also, being made in NYC, I love supporting my local economy. I've read a lot of people saying their heads cut out, or even blow up. This is unacceptable IMO. Is the TH 350 a solid head that can be pushed?

Age: 35
Occupation: Creative director, Alexander McQueen
Previous TIME 100 appearances: 0
No one would envy Sarah Burton, who was given the daunting task of continuing Alexander McQueen's collection after the late British designer took his own life in February 2010. But one year later, Burton who worked as McQueen's assistant for 14 years impressed fashion editors and buyers alike with collections that maintained her mentor's dramatic vision but included romantic, feminine touches too. This year, Burton designed the much talked-about red silk dress Michelle Obama wore to a state dinner with Chinese President Hu Jintao, and she's rumored to be among Kate Middleton's top choices to create her wedding dress.

What if Mother Nature
and I applied for her position?
How would I dare
to assume,
her un-ending cycles;
her secret duties?
Could I invoke such power,
or must I simply become her?
Spin myself
into a cocoon of natural faith.
Let the atoms of the cosmos
transform my light into spirit.
Would I then emerge,
complete with every force of mystery?
Awaken each day with pink mist,
and burn each evening sky
with crimson?
Command each leaf, each breath
and every symphony
of living?
Would I wear her gowns
of argent, lavender and aqua;
step lightly on mossy stones,
and dance upon silvery meadows?
Grace the heavens
in cloud-white glinting wings
and in
the depths of darkest night
bear stars, filled
with the promise
of every beginning?

They needed help
Walking alone in the dark.
The man.
The child.
A broken down car.
The child frightened,
But not understanding
The terror
That would soon
Come her way.
Her parents petrified
That their baby was gone,
Over forbidden images
That crowded their way
Past ice cream sundays
And birthday parties
And wedding days.
A passer-by.
A doer of good deeds.
He stops.
He sees.
He looks into
the little girl's eyes.
The girl speaks,
"This is not my dad"
And the coward
who took her,
He runs.
He hides.
The passer-by,
Believing he saved
A child
From a long, cold walk,
In reality
Saved a child
From a long, cold death.

No mother would fill up her eyes with tears of woman...
if it weren't for God performing a miracle at dawn,
as she cried out in joy and held her baby in trembling arms
but shed many sweet tears hearing his laughter so loud;
oh, he couldn't see her mommy's face through his tiny eyes,
and it will be long before he'll will utter the first word, " Mom."
Now that baby sleeps under the attentive look of his mom,
who's too young to become a mature woman;
many visions of this birth crossed her gleeful eyes
she dreamed of the very same words whispered at each dawn,
repeating them in her silly head as if they sounded too loud...
while cradling a pretty doll in her folded arms.
Will she be welcomed home by her parents opening their arms?
Will they reprimand her and not consider her a legal mom?
Perhaps they will not be angry and speak not so loud:
girls are supposed to be girls, not suddenly turn into woman...
So this innocent girl, deceived by a bad boy, must wake up at dawn
when her baby cries and feed him with scary, childish eyes?
Nights seem longer for her, trying to stay awake rubbing her eyes,
what she beheld in those exciting eyes, now it's a burden in her weary arms;
she remembers that pain was too unbearable, but joy more sublime at dawn...
how will she learn how to care for the infant by watching her mom?
She must have seen a nursery or read a book how to think like a real woman,
and can anyone imagine how she keeps that secret instead of revealing it loud?
She must gather enough courage inside to feed her baby who can't cry loud,
but for now she must carry that baby without sighs of distress into her bright eyes;
and her parents can see the changes making her a loving person already woman;
they may ask questions to why she has gained weight and holds dolls in her arms...
no, they aren't anticipating great news and in doubt, they await a splendid dawn.
Mother and daughter closely together amazed by the coming dawn,
any concealed secret can be easily spoken...somewhat joyful and loud;
they imagine the infant's futures will be part of grandma and mom!
Their reunited hearts come together to show love in their delighted eyes,
and they'll take turns feeding the new-born, tenderly lulling him in their arms;
what if forgiveness hadn't been there to deny her all of the joys of woman?
Would a mother deny her daughter compassion as a good woman?
Even God hurried dawn to offer that gift into her gracious, tender arms...
and those arms accepted it with the gentleness and kindness of mom.

In the Christmas Freeze of 1983
Mama thought she lost her Oleander tree
Some called it a "bush," but at 14 feet tall
Its shadow cast wide on her home's southern wall
How she mourned the loss of this beloved plant
She begged the Lord for any blessing He'd grant
The freeze ended soon, though her tree appeared dead
The scent of water each day clung to its bed
On January twenty-fourth, the call came
Dad said mom entered God's heavenly domain
A neighbor had found her, lying in the yard
Next to remnants of a plant she'd not discard
In May a miracle appeared to occur
The strong plant revived, as if waiting for her
*True occurrence based on my mother's death, January 24, 1984.

Priceless pearl
my hidden diamond
love's sweet jewel
Heaven sent

Beauty so pure
Lovely daughter
your character delights

Heartbeat on screen
My unbelief ceased

Maud, the meek poverty stricken seventy year old matriarch
of the people spoke proudly as the relief shown on her face.
"Two weeks ago I had tests run at Sparks Medical Center in
Fort Smith they told me that my old body was almost totally
eat up of cancer. I ask a brother at that time here in the church
whom I respect and have faith in to pray. He simply said as he
laid hands on me, them that believe shall lay hands on the sick,
and they shall recover. (Mark 16:18 KJV) Why that is all he said
as he asks me to agree with him."
"I stand before you today, one day before Christmas, totally free
of cancer. I was scheduled yesterday to begin receiving radiation,
but when they did my blood tests again they could not find one
trace of cancer. My doctor said he just could not explain the miracle
that had apparently taken place. You apparently know a doctor who
is far greater than I am." Tears of gratitude flowed down Maud's old,
weathered cheeks as the whole church stood and rejoiced with their
precious matriarch mother. This was a Christmas eve of rejoicing like
non other, and there was not a dry eye in the whole church.
A true story from 1987 in Moreland Arkansas Free Full Gospel Church.
This charitable hearted lady lived several years after this and died of simple
old age at around 90 years of age.

Golden-haired beauty lovingly fingering the sunflower plant's leaves, so curious, so beautiful, so kind, so special, lover of the bountiful earth
In this cruel-hearted world, with all its toils and troubles, it's easy to get lost and forget your worth.
Remember when you planted that seed to make the sunflower grow? When it was so tiny and you were so small?
Now, you have both grown so strong and so tall.
Remember when you put that seed into the ground and watched with rapture for it to sprout?
You watered it, gave it sun, learning what caring for something was all about.
You were once like a tiny seed and were planted in my heart for me to care for and love.
You were my dream come true, answered prayer from above.
I said a prayer and made a wish on a possible chance that a dream would come true.
By the grace of God, adn nothing short of a miracle, I was blessed by you.
We asked that you have a dragon's heart, patience of a dove and the soul of an eagle,
The resilience of dragonfly and hope of a phoenix give you a disarming smile and kindness of ways that always makes you regal.
From the moment you were placed into my body, you grew in my soul
Feeling you grow and live in me, made me feel whole.
I grew you, I watered you, and fed you and gave you plenty of sun and my body kept you safe from harms
Wishing and waiting and hoping one day you would be in my arms.
My body was your home for a very short while
i treasured every kick, every turn, every stretch, every hiccup and wiggle made me smile.
All the battles and struggles fought to bring you here
just one smile from you, in a moment, they all disappear.
I loved you from the beginning and will forever more
You are my dream come true, my answered prayer made real and everything I wished for.

People were
Many things.
Strange or not
People were
Different and
Odd and fun.
People were
Monsters but…
That's not all
People were
And still are
Strange and odd.
People are
People. For
life is life.
Yet not.
Not is lies.
Truth seeps from
Every mouth
Lies, lies, lies
Move, move, move
But somehow
Lies prevail.
Lies are life.
Lies are death.
Lies are homes.
Lies are pain.
Lies are truth.
Yet somehow.
Truth prevails.
Truth is life.
Truth is death.
Truth is home.
Truth is pain.
Truth is lie.
Truth is that.
Lies will die.
Lies will cease.
Truth will live.
Truth will be.

The wind blew events all over the place.
Intense emotions and it gave chase.
Lightning lighting to show us the sky.
People try to sleep and not cry.
Wisping by the wind keeps us awake.
The time trying to sleep the storms take.
Chills in everyone gives all shiver.
The clouds surrounded by moonlight is silver.
Heavenly prayers that the rain will stop.
The flood stopped a car the person in it was a cop.
People have seen such devastation.
The road that people made was week in creation.
Rivers near by was over flowing.
Trees that were there was not showing.
By the hour it claimed many.
My father woke up and did not see any.
Floating by was a boat.
Keeping people above water and a float.
My father kept a canoe.
That some day we would use it, that he knew.
Time to paddle up and down the street.
The rain water kept getting on our seat.
It was so dark after the moon was behind the cloud.
Still the noise of thunder still covered the ears loud.
The smell of moist water never seem to go away.
My brothers seem to still sleep anyway.
My head was bobbing up and down.
I was so tired that I could not hear a sound.
The wind blew back and fourth.
It seems that my mom and dad paddle their worth.
Till all the people we saw with grace.
Help us out with embrace.
The time was so late at night.
Everyone was so sleepy and losing sight.
The fight with the weather was so hectic.
The feelings of energy was electric.
Losing to such natural disaster is hard to understand.
When people working hard to block the river with bags of sand.
With hard workers like my mom and dad.
They make things happen that is not bad.
Rough with weather they experience more than ever.
Leaders they are they are very clever.
From the night light of street lights to the morning glow.
The wind did not stop so.
Bringing in more clouds that ill.
The people who were still tired still had will.
The rush of water and waves blasting push the wall side.
Pushing and the force brought water inside.
The battle of our hour was getting long.
Backup people came to aid us was strong.
Rested they were to keep everyone with hope.
The people stopped the water with the strength of rope.
Heavy rain and loss of homes bring people together.
It is kind of sad that this was the only time to gather.
Chaos comes happiness how true.
This is why we are human that gives us a clue.
It is our nature to keep rain falling.
To know when it is time for our calling.
The winds bring such pain and sorrow.
That is why rain sometimes fallow.

Did you ever know that you are the most beautiful soul I have ever known,
And have the most beautiful hair ever grown.
Did you know I love your smile,
And that it makes my life worthwhile.
Did you know I love the sound of your voice,
Did you know when it comes to loving you I never had a choice.
Did you know you were created especially for me,
Did you know your laugh fills me glee.
Did you know you are my everything,
The thing in which makes my heart sing.
Did you know I love to watch you sleep,
And if I could choose one thing to hold close to my heart you are the one thing I would keep.
Did you know I loved you before you were born,
And that every time you frown, I mourn.
Did you know I will love you more than any other,
Did you know as far as daughters go I would except no other.
Did you know being in your life gives me pleasure,
And that to me , your every breath is a treasure.
Did you know I am the proudest mother there could ever be,
All because God gifted you to me.
Did you know I thank God everyday that you are my girl,
Because when He gave me you, He gave me the world!

pretty amazing to behold,
once of a llfetime story never before been told.
behind all the biggest miracle:
there is a woman in every age,
blessed above all the rest of the mother's,
from the beginning,
ever since time began,
you journeyed and fought a good race,
besides everything that we do,
you are a mother, wife, sister, aunt, and grandma,
because of you,
I am not lost.
you found me on low,
you stood by me in every hurt that I cost.
mother of all heritage,
you beloved are a blessing of all miracles.

When you were born
I was sure you were
the most remarkable thing
on the planet
as you grew I knew it was true
everything I had experienced paled
in the light of who you were
and the privilege of knowing you
an empty life became full
darkness became light
no thing men value could compare
to what is you
How many cries beneath those eyes
how much of you will I ever see
guess you're a lot like me
I have never celebrated my body
I never cried for you
I shared nothing
but you asked me to
and I never asked you
I told you no stories
for I cannot share the pain
as I was taught
that my outside should never betray
my inside
What I feel I must never show
so that you would never know
"to be seen and not heard "
not allowed to speak any word
your body is for service
close your eyes and MIND (behave)
I'm sorry my children that
I gave this legacy to you
the mother you never knew
I have so few memories of kindness
and nearly none of love
I have tried to give you
all that I had and
I don't believe in myself that
it could ever be enough
I have been trying all my life
to learn how to love
I must let you go
to make this journey yourselves
I would be privileged
to make this journey with you
and I really don't want
you focused on the past anyway
I want you looking for love
and happiness cause I'm still
looking for it too
but you all have given
my happy memories
(and I still think for you they were too few)
Psalm 139
3 For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.

I Knew Someone Who Was Ready to "End It All!"
I knew of someone who just wanted "to end it."
Giving up on life, and did not want to "defend it."
It was a heart wrenching and difficult situation.
He said what he wanted to, with no explanation!
I could see his face and the sad look in his eyes!
What he was going to do next, was anyone's surprise.
He turned to drugs and encountered addictions.
With this brought much disease and afflictions!
He gave up on the wonderful family that was given.
And turned to a pretty wild and crazy way of livin'!
I told him about a God who loves him very deeply.
As he listened, he began to grow restless and weary.
I reached for his hand and began to pray for God's power!
It was a miracle! The blood of Jesus changed him that hour!
The spirit of God brought healing and hope to his body!
He was so excited! He rushed out to tell everybody!
The "end" that he wanted, seemed to just fade away!
For the son of the living God, changed him this day!
The glory of God, and the power of Jesus' resurrection…
Changed him! And got him going in a NEW direction!
He's so thankful for the blood of Christ' atonement!
And is a different person now, because of that moment!
This same Jesus loves and can do the same for YOU!
Through the problems of life…
He will see you through!

The greatest blessings of her life
Her children ~ their life
She ~ a young mother
Blessed with two
A miracle ~ twin boys
This is true!
Unafraid! Though
Both body and mind were bruised
Eyes big and BLACK
Her love and womb grew
At first KICK
She stumbled ~ her body recovered
At first KICK
She knew ~ God's blessing she discovered
A miracle the abuse
Did not end
A miracle her dreams
Are in God's hands…
**For Gwendolyn Rix "Mom, I'm Pregnant" Contest
"A study conducted by "Children Now" in 1995 saw that a full 89 percent of teens
have been in dating relationships and a whopping 40 percent of all teenagers know
someone their age that was beaten or abused by a boyfriend in a relationship. This is
a serious problem that every parent needs to watch out for to ensure the health and
safety of their children. Another study, conducted by Silverman, Raj, Mucci and
Hathaway in 2001 showed that young women who were in relationships that involved
violence were more likely to abuse substances, develop eating disorders, conduct
risky sexual behaviors, get pregnant, and even commit suicide."

Birth, Naturally manifested in a womb
Seeds planted like a rose you bloom
He or She
Unknown Flutters
Through kicks you utter
Reminders you are there
Growth evolving, Life we share
A bond to which no one could compare
Our eyes mirrored images of what was reproduced
To this world another introduced
Pain -n- Suffering
Payed at first glance
Hearts begin to dance
A never ending song
Impressions left
Your first scent
Hair, Hands, Feet and Nose
A Mothers Love already Known.............

Out of the unfathomable vacuum
Where nothingness is proud of its majesty
Rays of carnal light shines
Piercing every corner with the silken arrows of life
Out of sheer nothingness, pulses of joy and sorrow blossoms…
Little trivial ounce of life
Desperate to evolve, dying to assert an identity
Doubled and doubled, sucking milky life with voracious lips
Delicate ruby brooks find their way
In the soft land of flesh, breathing life to every cell
Drunk with bliss of ignorance
Happily caged within a hollow cavity
While a nurturing, caring prison keeper feeds
One with essence of her existence…
Every jelly joint, every tender fiber trembles
At the thought of forced liberty
The inevitable crawls forward
Pain enshrouds the prison keeper
Blinding flashes of light cuddle the unwilling little face
Which is adorned with crystal tokens of sorrow
Cute globes of curiosity roll to grasp
Every ounce of affection, every drop of freshness
A firm delicate fist opens up
To touch the air, to smell the life, to taste the love
Life's laughing miracle

the last of my
Pacificos are gone.
the table stands clear
and the youngest
straightens her hair
in a bathroom
that is only half clean.
universe forbid that
this be taken as a jest.
watch the baby
fight for it's right to crawl
away from it's mother.
I am her joke
with a never-ending
I am her couch
full of broken springs.
the only memorable
part, is the beginning.

In her arms
an infant wails as my daughter walks the hall
soothing her new babe, and the miracle unfolds. . .
Her wee one's pangs will vanish.
Soon enough, brown hair, like the child's older sister's,
will lighten up and lengthen, and sleepy eyes will brighten!
All that is strange to the newborn's searching eyes
will then become familiar, as seeing, then testing,
the small girl goes from crawling, then to toddling.
All too soon, full grown, she'll walk the hall herself,
a young new mother comforting an infant
in her arms.

Born May 1975 in Adelaide South Australia
Denise, with a harsh life thrown at her soul from birth
she gave it everything, to smile at the cracks from each new day
But, as life struggled with her throughout her childhood
she would become a mother, at a very young age
with a future of pitta, patta little feet, from the six lives she struggles it all for
She found a smile with ease and content, with her babies blessed to be
the trials fought through each and every day, the years filled her heart with tears
As life had just begun to see life off in the distance
finding ease as I see the rolling countryside
Wham, now to pay for the love and laughter, she had found contentment in
Out of the blue, a white ford would change the lives of the Hopkins family
out of control, only to be stopped with a tremendous, and awful thud
as the car began to roll onto it side coming to the end of its terror
hitting a tree with the full impact to the roof, and bouncing back to the earth
Hospitalisation, rehabiltation and a life long lost
the truth would find it's place, with the years followed by undecribable pains
Not knowing the life I once had, trying to recover any joy from motherhood
this isn't any feeling that anyone should have to understand
accident or not, heavy hearted as I had almost killed my child
watching my child struggle day to day, and raise a baby that will soon be alive
Two broken legs and an unforgettable six weeks in a comma
Protecting your precious, new life within
who and where is this Jesus, or God gone not here?
Peace is never going to arrive, to concur this life
I have to make changes and learn, I'm not worth the price
broken throughout the middle, left without a clue
How a husband, can no longer see any desire in you
Alone and pain riddled
will karma come, and give me back my giggles?
My life should have never been born, as they have all seen
I am longing for your decision, as I hold tight a desire for you see
this is the end me, look and watch as I bleed
for a future where I can be free, do you have the power?
can you give it to me?

the gospel of Luke is the most detailed accounting of Jesus Christ
It reveals His conception, His early childhood and His missionary life
In the gospel of Luke he tells about God's 2 part master plan
to deliver a Messiah into Israel's hands
the first part of the plan was to send an anointed blessing
to Zachariah and Elizabeth for all their years of childless stressing
a son was finally born to them whose mission would be one of preparation
John the Baptist who would pave the way for the One coming to deliver salvation
the second part of the plan was the supernatural conception of God's chosen one
a virgin girl with a true faith to be the vessel for His earthly son
Mary was her name and in her the Lord God had found favor
the 2nd cousin to John the Baptist and now to become the mother of our Savior
Mary went to her cousin Elizabeth and told her of the Angel's words
at first she was anxious and troubled and then she thought it was absurd
then Elizabeth said, look at me, I carry a miracle in my aged womb
and if the Angel of God said that to you in your mind now make the room
we are connected by blood and it makes perfect sense and sound reasoning
that God would give us both a miracle
in order to do what for Him is most pleasing
and at that meeting the child in Elizabeth's womb
received the Holy Spirit and jumped for joy
the confirmation that Mary was the vessel chosen
to bring forth God's little boy
called to be a vessel Mary was the chosen one
called to be a vessel to give life to God's only Son
as God has a purpose and a mission for each of us
and all He asks is that in His word we learn to trust
for when God gives you a word the situation is already in place
and when God gives you a word just accept His infinite wisdom and grace
it might not make much sense to you but that's all right
just do whatever God desires of you and be acceptable in His sight
called to a vessel for in you God has found favor
called to be a vessel because of your obedient behavior
called to be a vessel by accepting God's purposeful hands
when you're called to be a vessel to carry out the Lord's master plans

The baby lay on her bed,
A satin soft pillow under her head,
Pretty, pretty little brown eyes,
Rose bud mouth to say, "bye, bye".
There was no doubt that she was ill,
Skin so pale as she took her pill,
Soft brown eyes no longer happy,
Rose bud mouth to weak to cry.
Sweet little fingers quiet and still,
Golden curls wafting 'round her face,
Tears rolling down her parents' cheeks
For they had been praying for two, whole weeks.
Then the miracle happened, late at night,
God spared her the Dark Angel's might,
Sweet little lips, now laced in smiles
As once again, she shows her wiles.

Here are my two hands,
so innocent and small.
To sit upon your dresser,
or hang upon your wall.
Each time that you see this,
feel my gentle touch.
Directly in your heart saying,
I love you mommy so much.
Look at me today,
I am a part of you.
Even just these little hands,
an image of you it's true.
Today I could give you presents,
and many other things you see.
But really the best that I can give,
to you mommy is me.
So Happy Birthday Mommy!
I hope all your dreams come true.
For I am blessed everyday,
by being the miracle of you.

Miracle of light shines burning bright
Illuminating the secret garden of mother nature's life
Creating new growth and prosperity towards a new horizon
Angels fly through prismatic rainbow colors
Whispering melodic chant lulling the soul in hypnotic trance
Somehere within blessed hearts doors open to spirit travel
Creating motivation to the mind and spirit
Thinking beyond borders creates inspirational reflections of love
Transparent vision comes from angels sending messages
In quiet moments through harmony and peace
The miracle of light shines burning bright with golden rays
Of insight illuminating the secret garden of Mother Nature delight

The birth of a child will make you smile
A beautiful baby boy, what a joy
Brings tears to my eyes
Because of the joy that is inside
His name, what should I claim
Dewayne is his name
The name of your father
Who I love so much
My pride and joy
I will always thank God
above for giving me so much love
The birth of a child will make you smile
A beautiful baby boy, what a joy
Brings tears to my eyes
Because of the joy that is inside
His name, what should I claim
Dewayne is his name
The name of your father
Who I love so much
My pride and joy
I will always thank God
above for giving me so much love

The year began with my dad's fall
Being bedridden and passing away
Followed by his death anniversary today
Seeing my aged mother suffering
From pangs of loneliness
Choking in pain and declining health
Properties forsaken to next patriarch
Daughters divested of paternal love
Torn, tattered, teary without fatherly head
In retrospect wisdom of seasons fails in truthful reality
Knowledge or ignorance one is never really prepared for death
The grand patriarchs demise made us all live in a life of loneliness
There were sparklers of joy in my dark clouds with dad's miracles
My daughters found stronger footholds in life and profession
I came upon poetry soup and found a ray of hope to colour my passion

My Medjugorje Miracle
I'd heard about Medjugorje before but it was a place
I'd never been and would probably never go, I thought.
Surrounded then by people who had been,
I listened as they shared their stories of miracles and healing.
It did my heart good to listen to one story in particular,
A beautiful story involving the Holy Spirit and Vicka's smile.
As I envisioned her smile I began to feel a joy and peace I'd never felt before.
Everything went quiet and as I raised my head my eyes settled upon the grey cloud that had appeared in the room.
I found out what a special place Medjugorje is that evening.
Truly it's a place where Heaven touches Earth.
Truly it's a place I know now I must go,
Because not only did Heaven touch Earth that night,
Our Lady touched my heart.

It is hunting season in the mist of beauty and delight
In the thick of the trees, sounds of shooting, deer run in fright
Some grow weak are taken by man
Others search for safety somewhere in their land
A little fawn tumbles in fear, mother lost to the hunters dance
Not knowing where to go, suddenly, a light from his side way glance
He stumbles up on his feet, so confused, sadden and in fear
Heads toward the light with wonder, unaware of what is near
Hope in his little heart as he runs into a horrible surprise
Headlights in his face, breaks squeal, to his near demise
As he opens his heavy eyes, breathless and so unaware
Unable to move he shivers, to taillights of someone who cares
This angel who was approaching the near dead fawn
Was speaking to him with a soft voice as she put him on the lawn
She spoke to him with love, made him feel so safe
Hold on there beautiful baby I will help you find your place
He could feel his heartbeat grow weak as she stroked his little head
With tears in her eyes she spoke to God, this is what she said
Please lord it is my desire to save your wonderful creation
Give him breath, heal him please, it is not his destination
Her tears fell on his face, warmth he could feel once more
His breath along with his heartbeat, strong like it was before
Strength was back in him, to his feet he did arise
He kissed the beautiful angel, for she saved him from demise
He headed for the woods, then suddenly he veered
He turned to look again, the angel disappeared
Saddened once more alone again was he
The horrifying noises gone, now silence, how could this be
He entered in the woods his mother alive, back on her feet
Happily he trotted to her, his heart just skipped a beat
Not only did the angel save him, from something bad
But all was back to normal in his home with mom and dad!!

Dear Santa Clause
This letter may come as a surprise
I know it's not December
And there's no Christmas in July
But I feel so happy
I feel I could cry
Mommy's cured of cancer
When we all thought she would die
So the presents, the ones that I asked you to bring!
Give them to someone special
The best gift was having mommy home again
And Santa...
If you're not too busy, give this message to my friends
Say hello to Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Dunder and Blixem... Please tell Rudolph I'll miss him
And can hardly wait to see him again
Thank you so much, Mr. Santa Clause
Excuse the teardrops that fell from my eyes
I'm just so happy
Christmas came in July
I'll miss you so much this Christmas....

BJP nominee to be NDA candidate for PM`s post: Subramanian Swamy
Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy on Sunday said a BJP nominee will be the National Democratic Alliance`s candidate for the Prime Ministerial post.
Mumbai: Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy on Sunday said a BJP nominee will be the National Democratic Alliance`s candidate for the Prime Ministerial post.
"Six out of the seven NDA allies have no aversion if the candidate does not meet the secular standards of Janata Dal (United)," Swamy said in response to questions after addressing the Global Patriotic Tweeples` Conference.
Swamy also said the leadership issue can be discussed and decided at the NDA meeting, but added that it is not necessary to have such a meeting at this stage.
Earlier, addressing the conference, Swamy said the UPA was on its way out and if the NDA plays its cards well, it will definitely form the next government.
An NDA ally, the Janata Party leader criticised the UPA for proposing to bring the Prevention of Communal Violence Bill.
"Let them act foolishly and bring it in this budget session itself. I will move the court because the provisions are shocking...," he said.
In his speech, Swamy said India was on the verge of a new revolution based on social media. He asked the delegates to participate as "soldiers" in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections by working at the booth level and ensuring people in their localities come out and vote.
"Vested interests have no answer to the social media because they cannot control it and if they do they will not succeed," he said.
Criticising the economic policies of the UPA government, Swamy said it will be difficult to get out of it unless a bold outlook was adopted.

A battle of wits between witchdoctors on a beach in Bondo, Siaya County turned ugly recently, leaving a family in shock after their dinner miraculously went missing as they prayed before eating.
It all began after a fisherman found himself in trouble for differing with his regular witchdoctor and sought the services of yet another to spite the former.
The fisherman, who happens to be a boat owner and always enlists the services of sorcerer, is said to have been 'wealthy' by the area standard, but his fortune began to dwindle after he disagreed with his usual witchdoctor who cursed him.
His boats began capsizing, every now and them, killing fishermen who worked for him. After a while, all his boats disappeared mysteriously, and the houses he built were condemned. People began moving out of his rental houses and no new tenants wanted to live in them.
However, recently, a few families ignored the rumours about the houses being jinxed, and moved in. Little did they know that the move was to haunt them. Just when one of the families were saying a prayer before eating their super, their food mysteriously disappeared, leaving them in utter shock and dismay.
"The former 'tycoon's' houses are jinxed. Many people who rented them would hear unseen people loudly conversing in their living rooms at night. Just the other day, a family got a rude awakening when their food disappeared just before they began eating," a local who sought anonymity said.
The man goes on to add that the 'missing food' incident was not happening for the first time.
"Many other families have reported similar occurrences in the past around here. Nobody lives in those houses, these ones thought it was a joke. Now they have experienced it for themselves, and have moved out," he added.
'Sleep inside a bull'
The former 'tycoon' is said to be currently living in abject poverty as his children turn to serious drinking.
Witchcraft is real in Nyanza. People consult witchdoctors. Take, for instance, the case of a fisherman by the name Samson Ochieng. When he began capturing less fish, Ochieng is believed to have invested in a little sorcery to revive his waning fortunes.
After a month, one of his boats capsized, killing two crew members whose bodies were never found. According to fishermen who spoke to Crazy Monday, Ochieng had sacrificed the two in a process locals call luoko yie.
During the ritual, the witchdoctor, among other things, asks his client to slaughter a bull, remove the innards and sleep in it naked. Then call his friends for a feast the following day.
True to form, things seem to have changed; Ochieng's boats allegedly docked with fish worth thousands of shillings.
In yet another related case, as thousands of fishermen went to the elections of new Beach Management Unit (BMU) officials, aspirants sought votes by any means necessary.
Persuasion is key and even an appeal to the dark side is a viable option. As sources told Crazy Monday, a former BMU leader brought a witchdoctor at the beach three days prior to the elections.
"The witchdoctor came carrying a dead dog which they placed at the BMU's office where they conducted some rituals before leaving at around 3am," said a source.
Magical powers
He further disclosed that after this incident, another aspirant also came with a witchdoctor, three days later.
"The second witchdoctor revealed that somebody had 'worked' there. He also performed his rituals to weaken and undo what his colleague had done," said the source.
Rituals were also done to the money that the aspirant gave to potential voters. This was believed to deter the voters from voting for the opponent. It is believed that some of the long serving beach leaders only manage to hold on to power that long, on the sustenance of the magical powers of witchcraft.
"When I took over the office after beating my predecessor in the beach elections, some people told me that I would not spend more than three months in the office," said a former BMU leader.
He said he panicked and changed furniture and other things in the office after realising that some charms were planted in the office by his predecessor. "I was forced to go and seek charms from a witchdoctor to enable me counter those planted by my predecessors," he concluded.

Dear diary,
What a glorious day, this is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in It!.
Considering that Friday was a great event in history and seen all around the world by millions… Nay billions of people, I want to make today's beatification of Pope John Paul II into an even greater spectacle. I want to upstage the Protestant sector!
Although the royal wedding brought in over 1 million people to London, I expect over 1.5 million believers to see the remains of a new saint. Did have a bit of a problem though - when we exhumed the body of John Paul II we found that his body had disappeared - he must have been closer to Jesus than we had ever imagined!. How could we explain this to the masses?
In the early hours of Saturday morning, Cardinal Dominic and I took the body of someone else and placed it in the coffin...

Money launderers covet real estate, Chief Justice warns
Santo Domingo.- Supreme Court (SCJ) president Jorge Subero Monday called money laundering from drug trafficking the greatest threat to Dominican Republic's real estate property.
He said the situation takes place as drug trafficking permeates all structures in our societies worldwide. "It's an increasingly lurking danger and a very coveted fruit for the whitening and laundering is real estate property."
He said the Real Estate Jurisdiction and other agencies must remain on the alert, noting that although those types of cases haven't increased, "the practice is perceived in the atmosphere."
Latin American event
Subero spoke after inaugurating the XXIV Encounter of the Latin American Committee of Registry Consultation, being held in the hotel Embajador until Friday, with representatives attending from Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Cuba, Haiti, Mexico, Panama and Paraguay.

Tabithia Smith recently observed a little girl struggling to walk up the stairs at God�s Closet, a community closet located at Hocutt Memorial Baptist Church in Burlington.
�The heel of her shoe had come completely loose,� said Smith, administrator of the volunteer organization. �She didn�t want to hand them over because it was the only pair she had.�
After �shopping� for a little while at the closet, though, she found a suitable pair of shoes.
�We have folks who come in who literally have no shoes or no underwear,� she said.
That�s where God�s Closet comes in.
Men�s, women�s and children�s clothing are available to those in need, but donations, Smith said, are always needed, and so are volunteers.
Smith�s personal phone is the contact for the nonprofit organization, which helps folks when they�re trying to figure out what to do with clothing, perhaps following a death in a family, or when folks are downsizing or have items left behind following evictions.
�We deal with extreme circumstances. When people start over, where do they go?� Smith asked. �Well, they can come to us.�
With school back in session, the need is greater than ever.
�We always have women�s clothes and babies� clothes, which is fine, but we need clothes for men and school-age children as well,� she said.
Nancy Wright, founder of Alamance V.I.P., which stands for �very important people to our Lord and each other� was just recently discussing the lack of community closets with her husband, Jerry. Finding a nonprofit organization to support as part of the sixth annual anniversary of V.I.P. was something she�d been praying about.
Then, she bumped into Smith at an area store.
�This isn�t a coincidence. It�s definitely a God thing,� Smith said of the encounter.
After the two women discussed their groups, Wright decided that God�s Closet would be a great organization to help out and encourage those in Alamance V.I.P. to support as well. When Wright�s father died recently, Smith was there to help collect his clothing and she provided prayer and support.
This uniting together to help the community, Wright said, is what Alamance V.I.P. is all about � the group meets the first Friday of each month at People�s Memorial Christian Church in Burlington and a meal is served for an additional charge. The group is open to senior citizens ages 55 years old and up.
The sixth annual anniversary event is set for Friday, Sept. 6, at People�s Memorial Christian Church, 247 N.C. 87 North, Burlington. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and dinner will be at 6 p.m.; cost for the meal is $4. Music will be performed by Jubilation and The Vintage Quartet. A love offering will be taken for God�s Closet. Reservations are needed to attend and can be made by calling (336) 269-3844.
To donate to God�s Closet, contact Tabithia Smith at (919) 345-9227.

Game of Thrones just received the Television Critics Association award for outstanding new program, and deservedly so. The HBO fantasy adaptation of the George R.R. Martin best-selling series, A Song of Ice and Fire, offered the most compelling character drama of the year, all set against a beautiful and fantastical medieval-inspired backdrop. Now two more actors are joining the great series for Season 2, plus we have a behind-the-scenes look at the inspired special effects work in the first season.
First, the new additions of the GoT team are Roy Dotrice and Hannah Murray. In fact, I believe that Dotrice, who does voice work for the audio-books and has a close relationship with Martin, was originally sought after to play the role of Grand Maester Pycelle but had to drop out for health issues. However, now cleared to go, TV Guide confirmed that Dotrice "will play Pyromancer Hallyne, chief of the Guild of Alchemists. Murray, who appeared on the British version of Skins, will play Gilly, one of the many women living with Old Craster who wants to escape his oppression."
[Spoilers?] Hallyne's role is relatively small, but the products he produces will figure in majorly by season's end. Gilly becomes part of the Sam Tarly storyline as things get more and more uncertain north of the Wall.
On top of the casting news, this is a rad video from special effects team BlueBolt that gives you a better sense of how much effects work actually went into the series. If you recall, there aren't many fantastical creatures to construct, but the work they do on building the gorgeous locations is interesting enough. From the Wall to King's Landing to the Vale, it's some great stuff.
