The Awakening : And Other Stories Paperback
by Kate Chopin
Edited by Pamela Knights
Part of the Oxford World's Classics series
'She wanted to swim far out, where no woman had swum before.' Kate Chopin was one of the most individual and adventurous of nineteenth-century american writers, whose fiction explored new and often startling territory. When her most famous story, The Awakening, was first published in 1899, it stunned readers with its frank portrayal of the inner word of Edna Pontellier, and its daring criticisms of the limits of marriage and motherhood. The subtle beauty of her writing was contrasted with her unwomanly and sordid subject-matter: Edna's rejection of her domestic role, and her passionate quest for spiritual, sexual, and artistic freedom.
From her first stories, Chopin was interested in independent characters who challenged convention. This selection, freshly edited form the first printing of each text, enables readers to follow her unfolding career as she experimented with a broad range of writing, from tales for children to decadent fin-de siecle sketches. The Awakening is set alongside thirty-two short stories, illustrating the spectrum of the fiction from her first published stories to her 1898 secret masterpiece, 'The Storm'. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Review by SandDune
The awakening to self-awareness of a rich New Orleans woman at the end of the nineteenth century. Unfortunately, in my opinion a rather dull book about a very dull woman.On the island of Grand Isle in the Gulf of Mexico a number of wealthy New Orleans are spending their summer vacation away from the city. Mrs Pontellier is of these: a young woman who has drifted into marriage and motherhood with very little thought, and with no strong feelings in relation to her husband, and very few towards her children, she finds herself bored with her life after six years of marriage. Robert Lebrun, the son of the house where they are staying, devotes himself slavishly to Edna Pontellier throughout her visit but, as he devotes himself slavishly (and innocently) to one young married woman or other during every summer season, this passes without remark or without exciting any jealousy on the part of Mr Pontallier. But rather than it just being an innocent flirtation for Edna, on her return to New Orleans she starts to question the very life that she leads.So a story of a woman's awakening to realisation of herself as a person in her own right, rather than as a wife and mother with needs subjugated to those of her family. But unfortunately I couldn't see Edna as anything other than a selfish little rich girl, who was quite happy to take from others without being prepared to give in return, and didn't seem to care about anybody other than herself in any meaningful way. She just didn't engage my interest at all, and neither did any of the other characters. So OK, but not great.

Next time you hear someone saying that women comedians aren't as funny as their male counterparts , you can happily refute the claim with two words: Kathleen Madigan. She just released her newest special, Madigan Again, on Netflix, and it's one more entry in a consistently hilarious output that marks her as the funniest woman, if not person, in the country. Her style is warm and real. Where others rant and advocate and mock, Madigan maintains a slightly tipsy distance from the chaos and madness of the world around her, processing its funnier bits in a breathy, self-deprecating chuckle. Her latest spiels are wonderful juxtapositions. While the young people around her bitterly complain about a small rise in the price of stamps, she remains eternally impressed that she can send a piece of paper to Alaska for less than two bits. She also recounts touring Afghanistan to perform for the troops, and describes the country as like a visit to the Old Testament. "The bad Bible," she calls it. "The one where God is a lunatic and shit's on fire for no reason. Not the fun Bible with the wine-and-cheese parties."

You came into my life, why? I didn't invite you, I never wanted you around, you
know this , but you will not leave, you don't know how much I hate you, and yet I
don't hate anyone or anything. When you hate, to me, it is the same as killing. If I
only knew how to kill you ……. It would have been done many times over. I awake
every morning and there you are, ready to make my life miserable, the one thing
you enjoy most in your life. Wherever I go, you follow bringing your misery into my
life. Why cant you just leave and leave me in peace? I fight with you every day, and
it hurts so much, so much it hurts to fight with anyone, even you. There is one
way and only one way to rid you of me. I think of this often, but then where would I
be? I would not be, because you are part of me, your name is bi-polar. Handed
down from my father and from his father, and from me to my son, but he refuses
to recognize you, so he fights you without help he could get. If he would only say I
know who you are. I hurt for him everyday, and then I pray.
Oh God please forgive me for what I have brought upon my son. Son, I love you,
and am so sorry for what you go through. Maybe someday we will talk again. Dad

I hate shopping
but when I go shopping
I know what I'm looking for
I go to the right store
I go to the right floor
I grab it
they bag it
and I am out the door
Shopping is an awful chore

For years no one ever had a clue...
Of the secret she hid..no one knew..
The child inside her never shed a tear...
Although she lived everyday with fear...
She grew up never knowing what love was...
Till that fateful day, when he met him on the bus..
He was tall and handsome and had a great smile...
Knew all the words making her feel worthwhile...
They fell in love and soon were married...
And that's when things changed...the love got buried..
The days were long and the nights were lonely...
They seldom spoke, and if only...
She hadn't seen that ad...this never would have happened..
Join the Garden Club today and...
wipe all your cares away
There's more to this story..I must conceive...
So please follow this sequel and I believe....
You will stop and think of the words I wrote...
And perhaps even take your own personal note....

Standing up tall holding my own leaning hard headlong into the wind yes I believe I have heard felt seen it all it seams.
Been down on the row held my hand up high up on the bush - but yes time tells me to not worry - Lord has been carrying me for some time now.
If I could write you a sonnet I would, but; I haven't the clue of that form.
Yeah all that I know, is to write in Joy and embrace the wind time and the realities as they are; and come.
Though broken, I feel it can bring one to be enlightened through time, if a prayer is given for this and the heart to remain open with no strings attached and so yes if this is achieved, the Sun so to say is sure to rise again in the morning, and the World will march on together in Peace and so this Hope will remain, "Love Mercy and Forgiveness - selflessness - will always be the keys to winning with God and one another - and the time it takes to share a kind word with the one who is down - well brilliant; it will always be a greater life - and in general the days will not be as tough as it is to live in a place Hell bent my friend depending solely on-Hate erroneously alluding to and believing that that alone will make all the difference ... and keep one safe.
"Yeah ha ha, I Laugh!"
Yes and having relied on Hate as a fix all answer all before myself well from bitter experience; I tell you it never did help - yeah and I tell you one more thing friend I know now Hate in all of its selfishness intended and ultimate suffering; it-never will ... . No no it never-will.

Wherein lies the great dividing moral distinction
between hate crimes of socioeconomic historic proportion
and multicultural perpetuation,
and the more mundane population of defiance crimes
of a more personal nature?
Why is society's right to aggressively imprison unto nutritional neglect,
to kill and maim in just vengeance of angry sociopathic retribution,
politically and economically correct,
yet not these smaller personal issues
of ego-defiance,
LeftBrain exercising WinLose Competitions
for political and/or economic survival-thrival powers?
Which crimes are not self-enslaving,
hating crimes of calculating and emotive passions?
What crimes of aggressive terror
or malignant neglect of healthier options
wears no stink of hate?
Whether conducted as public retribution
or private rebuke of ego-supremacist behaviors,
lacking are self-esteem of WinWin
Both-And justice-option hunting
and gathering together.
Hate breeds further hate,
as love co-arises love.
Revenge is usually counter productive
where hypnotic addictions rooted in
an unholy internal constellation
of anger+fear=active distrust moving toward paranoid hate-panic
tyrannically pathological nightmares
bleeding back into silos of despair,
aloneness fog of white noise,
timeless absence of healthy hope.
What seems needed are ecotherapeutic self-nutritionists,
lovers and beautifiers of co-empathic trust
co-mentoring mutual invitations into deep ecology of learning
healthy nutritional life options
as compared and contrasted with ego-purgation
(0)-sum notnot life-giving,
restraints on right-now cooperative abundance.
Who dares continue throwing stones
when we might regenerate love's healthier WinWin Economics instead?
Criminalizing hatred itself
is like trying to fight fire with more fire;
it can work
but is best reserved as last extreme resort response
to wilder sweeping climatic conflagrations,
which would not have occurred
had we compulsory health education about love regeneration
rather than anger management removed from its wiser,
more ecosystemic home.
Perhaps it is fair revenge to imprison sociopathic haters
with other haters,
but who would that leave out,
and what shall we all do within our mutual imprisonment of fear and anger?
Provide Anger Management remediation,
yet not even discuss concomitant absence of love
as self-optimizing health,
never mention absorbing truths
of cooperative political and economic therapeutic beauty?
What do we feed our prisoners,
our self as other hating outlaws?
Do we serve up healthy relationships and environments,
or ever more toxic plastic degradations
that will continue to replenish pathological self-hate?
Imprisoning haters,
without repurposing
or even simply inviting to conjoin a more therapeutic life,
discovering potential lovers as co-mentors,
satisfies political lust for vengeance
in exchange for defiance
only if we are content to continue
on their future abuse and neglected generations,
future active distrusters
and criminally addicted self and other haters.
Which of your crimes against nature
are you so sure did not emerge
from co-arising nondual fears and angers?
conjoined to hate self-hating haters,
devolving away from WinWin regenerative exegesis,
plummeting terror-climatic norms of emotional despair
reduced toward pathological LoseLose
political-economic ecology
of not-really-so-much Grace.
Enslaving and imprisoning fractured hostile lives
while throwing away our deep listening key
is like intentionally placing an abused/neglected child
with an exhausted, starving, addicted sexual predator,
hoping they will teach each other further dramatic exploits
in what to never do.

Listen to the wind as it crashes into the towns and villages and downs mighty trees,
Stand still, let it blow until you nearly fall, face its anger and lean into the cold wind,
It brings snow so heavy, flakes will bite your face, freeze your wet golden pig tails
Stand in the blizzard then fall to the ground and stay there, this is your judgement day,
It's time to reflect darkest needs, and the moral ruin in that space, of your passing years.
Listen to the wind bending boughs, branches and the flow of a turbid stream of pollution,
A pollution that floats the wretched souls and bodies of all mankind to death and to hell,
You hear a sound of branches creaking under the strain of despicable wrongs in your life,
It's a mighty power that takes away the beat of the immoral pulse of your sorry humanity,
So now you are ready to listen, so listen hard, but then you know your own sorry story.
Listen to the wind and hail sweeping over dead leaves, throwing them into a black sky,
Do leaves shiver or do they shout out loud in rage as they are scooped up in a frenzy,
Will you pray to your god, ask him for forgiveness as this is your last day on earth,
Or will you beg in the tattered slops of your own righteousness just to save yourself,
Listen to the tolling of the old passing bell that swings in your black dome of vice.
You will feel the devils havoc amongst immortal souls, a hell fire dwelling in your heart,
A story of your progress a disease of lies which sucked away all goodness from your days,
Lies have plucked the red roses from childhood and set a brand of hate on your wet brow,
The story of lies which have stalked and spread up and down the earth for many centuries,
Lies that sweeps millions upon millions to destruction, for this disease there is no cure.
How many sighs have been noted down in your heaven and how many tears were for yourself,
Those too often troubled fountains flowing like April showers, your wolf's tears fallen,
How many hearts have you broken in loveless famine, all for a want of an act of kindness,
See how deep the dyes painted in your days, a selfish dense black cloud as the background,
So look behind you, see the old man carrying his scythe, he is waiting and he has patience.
Listen hard, listen well, do you hear trumpets blare over the crashing white landscapes,
Will you pray brimstone or treacle and tell the wind your sins the unacceptable truth's,
Did you sit and drink your wine murmuring everlasting hate in a rich full flavoured voice.
You are just a blank space in a world of nothingness a mere sour taste in the universe,
Your vicious wrongs telling the same old stories heard by thousands, thousands of times,
You close your mind and pretend to forget what cannot be forgotten, tell me are you bad,
Because I would like to know if you think you are a good example, I would like to know.

Some are so insecure and afraid for me to receive any good measure.
To be complimented or gain anything.
Believe it or not these are females who dress for their best.
Rock all of their gold and flashy rings.
They carry themselves and present to the public their life is all about them.
Don't let me come in on the scene flashing a beautiful smile.
While watching the room glance at look at me from every direction.
Miss Drama Queen will drop whatever it is that she is doing.
Just to make sure that she stops me in my tracks.
She'll do all that she can to block any of my success.
To add insult to injury since you know that life is really a struggle for me.
Yet you ponder on trying to figure me out.
How I still present myself in a upstanding and put together way.
It drives you crazy trying to figure me out.
Just how it is that I have not fallen.
That I am still able to make it through.
You exemplify you got it going on.
That you have no cares in the world.
Claiming life's brass rings.
Yet you roll your eyes and buck your teeth.
At the hint of me gaining anything.

Is it wrong to end a life?
Even if it meant saving another.
Is it wrong to hate so much?
That your sight gets clouded
By pure rage 'till you see nothing but your crimson hued reflection
staring back at you
Is it wrong to plot someone's demise
So thoroughly, never flawed
That you may even wish to...
To play it out?
Anyone who's willing to make sacrifices
Should be honored for their heroic act of defending the weak.
But I am the weak...
Who will take the title of
Who will use it to mask
The true intentions of satisfying a cannibalistic blood lust...
The facade won't be kept up for long, though.
It's all in the mind
That is now twisted, and bent
seeking for the good in these actions of this 'hero'.
It's like what they say;
"There is good in everything"
Do I still have good in me?...
It's too dark to tell...

Anger the bastard child of Hatred despised and rejected stands before his father
and ask
"What do me and my mother mean to you?"
With glowing red eyes Hatred answers
"I care nothing for you or your mother Lust. Lust your mother is nothing more than
a slut who I had sex with."
Looking Hatred in his fiery red eyes Anger said
"For someone who lurks in the shadows you hurl a lot of insults."
Stepping closer to Anger Hatred responds with another insult
"Your mother Lust is a slut plain and simple. How can you not know and who are you
to question me?"
With a bold Voice Anger said
"My mother is not a slut and I am your son."
With an evil smile Hatred said
"Her name tells you what she is. Don't blame me for the life you was dealt. If you're looking
for Love you'll find her with the rest of the virtues in Tranquility. Why can't you be more like
your sister Cruelty? Truly you are a waste of semen."
Turning his back to Hatred, Anger responded by saying
"These are my last words to you. You're a pillar of salt. No one wants to be around you."
As Anger walked into the night he heard Hatred say
"Like father like son."

I suppose there are no new problems in the world to be exterminated,
well, I mean, of course there are as many new problems
as there are creatures having a new day today,
but I mean I suppose there are no absolutely unprecedented types of power-struggles about comparative freedoms to and from
with short and/or long-term health and love's security implications,
just as there is no such thing as time flowing backward
except in our surprisingly 4D-equivalent visual imaginations.
What might it be like to be able to reverse time in our
hearing imaginations?
so we could hear a song sung backward in our head,
a life lived backward from full Yang voiced maturity
back to Yang/Yin embryonic soup,
surfing in soft warm dualdark composting diastatic murmurs,
like the Earth turning back into a newer
speed-of-enlightenment BlackHole Sun,
evolution as revolution to our 4D listening minds.
Imagine today as the conclusion of your Creation Story,
and play yourself backward to our mutually-held DNA/RNA
health-commons solidarity,
political-economic loves lives
ecological (0)-sum embryonic beginning.
Exterminators of life's great and smaller problems
must first
and more importantly,
become regenerators of solutions,
for if there are no new categories of Creation Story problems,
then there are no new categorical resolutions of chronic,
and more climatic,
issues and transitions and economic transactions and political relationships,
and personal loves and active distrusts,
health yin-streams
implied within pathological screaming contests,
yang-supremacist nightmares.
ReGenerators of Solutions
look for least effort compost piles of ideas, nutritional possibilities
repurposed from our still-evolving history of multicultural enculturation,
removing from the ground of trustful-truthful becoming
all monopolistic exterminating and terrorizing fantasy solutions;
problems perpetually unresolved with Others spelled IntendedLosers
in abject repressive compliance.
Such extermination through terror fantasies
for powering over life's little and great transitions
rather like swatting a fly
with a grenade,
a too-Yang dominant over-reactive response
which does indeed exterminate the fly-power problem for now,
by causing several newer and more costly challenges
for yet another day,
unless of course we manage to exterminate ourselves as well.
Then we merely pass along our carnage to our children.
Older chronically re-evolving, co-arising problems,
political and economic and ecological,
might healthier resolve with greater cooperative resonance,
with more investment in co-empathic trust
in mutually subsidiary and grateful deep listening
mindful of health/pathology problems nesting within their appositional solutions
inviting to raise grace
rather than more canes,
further pathological exterminations,
executions of mutual-immunity monochromatic intent,
with visions of socio-political grandeur
through naked robes of clown's multiculturing visionplays
with Ego's
and Ethno's
and Anthro's Idolatry,
and Other
as Earth's Maniacally Fertile EgoWorshipers.
Supremacy of Anthro-ReGeneracy our internal monopolistic Selves,
as if that could co-arise RightBrain happiness,
rather than further LeftBrain suffering,
cognitive dissonance
stressfully blocking terror and extermination fantasies,
pinging fears and spontaneously combusting angers,
passive mistrusts
and more actively steamy distrusts,
rupturing black pearls of ballistic hatred.
Old enslaving problems
within renewed
regenerative Left/Right cooperative economic resolutions
point toward Beloved Internal Communication
and External Community.
making hay while sun shines just right
and rain falls just so
on the meadows of our co-empathic trust,
transgenderationally-applied Golden Rules
growing transpeciated-remembering evolving minds
with nutrition v pathology-empathic bodies,
fully co-conscious bilaterally-truthing-testing eco-healthlives,
rather than staying stuck within further dissonantly noisy and stinky decay,
disinclination to wake up and show up.
so that's an hour I'll never get back again,
irredeemably invested in old problems
in new cooperative-regenerative wineskins.
are you going to just keep repeating this same program
through your entire day?
Is that your plan for exterminating yet another day,
another life,
another planet?
Cay is about investing in yet another healthier love-resolving day,
another polypathic resonant trust for radically extended family life,
another healthier Earth.
Less paranoia,
and terrible-terrific-terrifying-terror,
monoculturally-motivated ego-extermination fantasies;
more actively, and inclusive of oneself, pro-cay.
If you feel like we are falling apart
more than we might ever conceivably come together,
then it seems healthiest to hope
that breaking up our current monocultural fossils
is our way through great, and smaller, transitional regenerations
of reincayness.
Oh no! Why do men hate me so much? From incarnation even as I try to make my legs and hands and buttocks as small as anything! So they can't say am competing with their colossal legs and hands and their protruding buttocks!
They say; we knew it! Right from the first sight, he was bent on evil with the ulterior motive that, whenever he perches on the sweet succulent, fresh, flesh - of ours, it won't be noticed. Because he believes men are fools after all, big brains are not found in big bodies.
Men are evil. As I try to befriend, the more they inflict pains on me. Ok! I feel rejected and dejected by men, I considered it and thought it wise to detach myself from men by living in nearby bushes and rejected dumped waste and refuse.
They say; ah! Mosquito, you always make use of that little sense of yours. It is all pretence; you love men so much that you can't live without them! Ok, if you say you want detachment, why must it be near men's homes, or their dumped refuse and liquid waste? Why not very far at the desert so men won't complain again. You love men! It is even clear as you lay your eggs where you feel you hate.
Men are ignorant. Ungrateful idiots! Their brains are stuffed with manure. Ok! If I hate men, why should I use the talent God gave me to make them comfortable? I use the best musical instrument; harp, flute with my wonderful composing way of singing, just to make them happy yet they detest me. Ok! How many men are musicians? How many even use the talent God gave them? Since God made me a musician from incarnation I will continue to use the talent, no matter how men feel.
Mosquito, Jackson of the age. You sing and even dance for men's comfort! But the question is, if you love men as such, Why must the benevolent be a sort of boring? Why must it be at odd hours in the night made for resting? Even as we say stop! You still continue your singing. We don't need it please! Your singing is a discomfort for men.
Ok! What of the affection I show to prove my love? I kiss your flesh and blood, just like any other man does by kissing the tongue and saliva of a female partner for love! Do you appreciate it at all? All I get from you are rancor and malice. Our judgment will be in heaven certainly.
The problem with you (mosquito) is that you don't accept fault, very controversial and a very big threat to man. That is what you are! Accept your nature. You say you show affection, ok! Have heard of a man who kisses and inflicts pain on the partner? Perhaps by eating up the tongue or ejecting poisonous liquid in the partner's mouth? But when you kiss, you disfigure our flesh and inject malaria into our bodies. Is that what you call love? We don't want such affection, just know that; once you come around, we are at alert and always ready to strike! Let the worst happen in your so called heaven.

HE WAS asleep
Between space and time
The first light on the world
Floated idly
On him
He was just born.
His folded hands
Glowed a pale pink
To keep the fire of life
He wondered if he was really awake.
Is it the true world?
Is it the true village?
Is it the true nest?
He kept kicking
And cried like a scared owl.
God trod to the next village.
Oh said the voice
Let me kiss you
Let me go in the fairy way
Let me love you earth
Overly cautious she crouched
Over a street strewn with splinters
S o confusing for a fairy
She approached a dark alley
Full of vermin and dead
So confusing for her noble nose
We call it miscarriage in our land
She said and picked up intruder's naked smell
Leftover of yesterday's predation
She did not move
She was crippled in an unknown fear
The emotion alien to a fairy
I want to love you
But you will kill me
That she said and flew all the way
Across hellhole and slammed into a tree
Still young, bright, full of promises
Though clawed by vampire birds
She moved in sense of rekindling
I'm glad, I'm sure I'm glad,
I am in the fairy way
Because I came down to love
Evening slipped out of the cave
Crossed the rock wall
And buried the city in soft kisses
Sun god's dripping soup
Gave her child a sunset glow
She went back to her cave
To sleep, to grow
Hates were slipping through my fingers
Little ones burning like midday sun
When they cooled made garnets for my sisters.
An ancient cat god
Slammed down to my house
Went out with a sperm-whale
Harpooned by the mouse
Tara, I liked her so much
As a fish and as a friend
So in the Sunday night supper
She had made a double-end.
She was gruff fish after all
In night-supper it took its toll
Tara, I liked her so much
So I wrote this story on the bark of Birch
I gave a tabby cat one ounce of gold
That's the way the story was told

Have you ever jumped in and out of your skin?
Found yourself on top of a hill with no shade to stand under, the skin around your lips and eyes starts to crack and peel. Don't you wish for one moment you could simply have a hand to cover the glare and give you a screen, to sooth them for just one instant and feel a breath of relief.
Have you ever bled without pain?
You are soiled red but the gates of pain are simply numb. You simply watch the drops stain. If only a hand could compress the hurt and brake the flow of this rouge river game.
Have you ever spat words of scorn? Only to discover it was a feeble attempt that bounced the daggers back at your wall of ice. They simply echo back, the acid splatters in your face. You regret what you said; you wish you were dead.
Have you ever defied your own line of fire? You've broken down your walls of guard and allowed trespassers to rape your morals. If only a hand could pull you back and tug you in, the rules you made would still be in.

Whispers in the dark
Thoughts of you.
a meeting at the park,
A memory, a flash
Surrounded by pin-drop silence.
The saddest thing in the world,
I have lost all meanings of life.
My mind overflows with memories
Of those few green and fair days.
How do I mend my broken heart ?
I hate this idea of my heart
That you are the one thing,
Whom I want the most but can't have.
You tore my heart into two,
One part has lost all and
The other still thinking for you.
I hate this feeling of pain,
I'm not gonna let you say.....

Mr. Wrong
You're not one of a kind
You smoke;
You get drunk,
You like wars
But you told me
You smoke because you felt nervous when you're with me
You get drunk 'coz you think I don't love you
You like wars 'coz you'll fight for me.
My eyes told me too
I hate your lips,
I hate your eyes,
I hate how it looks at me.
But you told me more
You wish to kiss my lips
You love my sparkling eyes
That makes you driving you crazy.
I almost hate everything about you
You're not attractive, not at all
But what makes it wrong?
You make my heart beats strong.
But you almost love everything about me
I attract you like no one ever did
That's all for you what makes it right
You're my Mr. Wrong, but I'm you're Mr. Right.
Now I hate myself even more
But my heart told me so
I love you more and more
I love my Mr. Wrong

One of my sisters believes I chose to be queer.
Did you remind her
you had no more choice about chasing guys
than she did?
But her favorite televangelist
says I must be mistaken,
or just lying,
because who wouldn't choose to be hated
by all the hetero homophobes
like televangelists,
That makes no sense.
She can't really believe
you would choose to belong
to any repressed and humiliated minority,
especially during early onset of puberty,
when every girl and boy in any culture
is terrified of becoming different,
or special,
or weeded out of the clickety-clak pack.
Well, as she sees it,
she is in a LoseLose double-bind.
Either I chose to be queer, and am thereby demented,
or God graces all forms of WinWin sexual expression,
which would be contrary to her homophobic enculturation,
so it is easier to believe I am nuts
to choose perversely
than to consider herself nuts
not to choose more graciously,
especially with regard to God's creative capacity for love,
rather than simplistic judgments
which look and smell and sound like patriarchal sexism
more than radical fertility of God's healthy wealth
of incarnating love for all children,
red and yellow,
black and white,
gay and straight
and shades of grey transgenderal,
each is precious in our multiculturing
MotherEarth's sight.
What about your other sister?
Oh, she agrees.
With what, or whom?
She agrees we're all nuts.

I stitched the names of
Loved ones
Onto the bleeding surface
Of my broken heart
To try to stop the steady stream
Of hope
From flowing out
And pain
Flowing in
But the stitches
Did not hold
My heart together
And I finally found out
They ripped
Through the fragile exterior
And left
A bloody mess
Of torn up flesh
And agony
In their wake
They tore right through
Because they wanted to be free
Of the restrictive bounds
That held them in place
In my heart
So they ripped it apart
And found their freedom
And happiness
And love
While they left me behind
With my battered heart
Rotting on the floor
And I walked through
The rest of life
With a hole in my chest
So no one
Could hurt me
Ever again

Each time I try to say, "The country isn't good"
Even as a secondary school pupil
I can't remember the last I obeyed the iota rule
Even dough I know my parents builds castles in the air
Yet I can't redirect the wrong footsteps
And I have the got to say, "The country isn't conducive"
Even as a medical practitioner-
That has taken an obligatory oath
Yet, when the language of money advance
I can prescribe the most unsafe drugs
I engross in the diciest abortion
Yet has the impetus to say, "The head of my nation is incompetent".
Even as a legal practitioner
I am part of the judiciary
I am part of the legislature
I am a the core executive
But, the epitome culprit
Yet, rush head long to utter, "When shall things be cute".
As a commercial executioner
I am submerged in fraud
I am a competent illegal
Seemingly things are likened to my name
But, in spite of the legislative injunctions
I am always the hall mark of every bad egg. But I still complain.
Even when I complain as a minority tutor
I can't be prompted in my responsibility
Yet, complains of the recompense for the cute
But, the certainty remains
If I don't redirect my erroneous footsteps
What is to be done, still remains stagnant!

When they love their children as much as they hate us the war will be over
Its doesn't matter which side your on
Whether your a viva viva palestina
Or an am yisrael chai
You know which side is evil, committed all
Wrongs, sometimes you meet people who
Extol the virtues of this treacherous,
Terrible oppressor /terrorist
With their shock and awe tactics and
Disregard for freedom or the right to life And the pursuit of happiness
And sometimes for a minute, particularly
When you talk to someone you think is
Intelligent it becomes harder to maintain the
View on this malignant party you tried hard
To campaign for and against and although
Peace (of mind) is all you want
All you could dream of
With this entity at the negotiating table
Independence is swapped for catastrophe And war
If you give them what they want you will
Have nothing except the need to a right of
Return to a better time

A song can be heard tonight
Swirling about me beating down my strength
Enfolding the whole of me with thick, terrifying captivation
That chokes a city with the roaring thunder of despair
Of the innocent obliterated in the unforgettable heartbeat
When we died with our friends and families
Slain from the once impossible that shattered our world
Tossed aside the veil of our innocence forever
I can stand no more and I fall
My weary gaze heavenward for I have no answers
With my heart weeping, my soul burning
My mind alive with a desperately hungry vengeance
I scream out all of my searing pain
I scream out with every fibre, every pore of my being!
I scream blinded by this maelstrom of emotion
I scream!
Until my voice runs ragged
Until my anger simmers
And here amid a shattered ruin
I find inside the depths of my soul . . .
That which is fierce in us all
I stand and glare beyond the horizon
Where I know the object of my hatred hides
Feeling safe in his pit of woe
"No," I seethe
"No," I burn
"No!" I say through clenched teeth
"I will not falter!
I will not give up!
I will not give into the swallowing lament of night!
I will see you held accountable
I will and I do defy you!!
And everything you represent!"
I like my people, believe in a merciful God
Our Lord forgives and loves us all
And this is the God I believe in . . .
But I am a man, just a man . . .
And I cannot forgive you for this, I will not
God may forgive you
But I do not
I hate you!
For the lives you have destroyed!
For the fear in my heart!
I hate you for existing . . .
I hate you because now I cannot help but to hate something
It's lonely where these towers have fallen
And in this solitude I pick up a stone
I move another stone and then another
For I know not what else to do
I find that this stone is not a part of the rubble
I understand that I am not really clearing debris
I am rebuilding
And this dust covered stone now within my hands
Is the first
In a new foundation of our lives
I see my friends
Doing as I do, lifting one stone after another
We are rebuilding our world
Our ideals
And I whisper to the horizon
"Know this
Today we mourned as people grieving for our loved one
Tonight we mourn as a race having just lost our innocence
Tomorrow we will mourn as people defiled by atrocity one last time
But soon . . .
We will weep and mourn no more
And on that day
We will end terror."

Was thinking to move ahead
buT every time you come in my memories to take me back
back to the same era, of golden moments of mine
that I spent with you...
Was king of mine and dream boy of yours
when all the time, it was me and only me in you
your presence was attendance of mine
your hapiness was , religion of mine
My sun was you, the day with rhyme
evening , the moon of twilight ..
Wheatish skin , lyk cuban chocolate
everything of yours........ was
everything of mine
And now its just betrayal

When the first murder was committed
The weapon was useless
Knowing that the soul is what animates people
He started stabbing arbitrarily at his victim's body
With the logic that the soul dwells throughout the body, he thought that with one gash the soul might seep out
But he didn't succeed
Until a stab wound reached the victim's heart
And that was the end
War is random stab wounds throughout the body of the nation
Unnecessary pain
The point of war is to get to the soul but it's hard to find where the heart of the problem is
After all these years we still haven't learnt from mankind's first unforgivable sin

How do I live without her?
How do I face the day?
How do I keep my sanity?
While my life slips away
How do I survive with out her?
Now my life is so cold
I can't live without her
She no longer walks this world
Try so hard to understand
Because there's no reasons why
She belongs beside me
Not with god in the sky
Want to say goodbye to tomorrow
But this life don't belong to me
So until god really for me to join her
I must learn to live in misery
Love turns my mountain
In to a little stone
Love sends a knife inside me
Didn't stop till it hit the bone
How do I tell my heart?
There's nothing to live for
How do i say to my life?
I don't need you no more
And oh how I hate love
For what it's done to me
It turns my fairy tale
In to a horror mystery
Why did faith direct this?
And who wrote the script
Why did they turn my life?
Into a tales fro the crypt
Everyday I get older
My pain is getting worst
And when the grim reaper comes
This chapter will close
And in the green valley
Where the water flows
On the hill under a willow
Is where my soul will go

Why do we aim hot hate at each other
causing further cracks and craters in dried-up deserted skin,
when we could choose to heal and recreate
formerly fertile forested and grassland soils
to reform and rejuvenate subclimates of therapy?
ReCreating springs and filters of and for clean rich waters,
together restoring healthy air
to breath more deeply together
as we plan Earth's further fun and happier rejuvenation,
yet another year, and season,
decade and millennium.
We retain subclimates of good cooperative potential
so urgently needed.
We have no time left for guns and missiles.
We have so much labor-neglected waste and humane depreciation
for machetes and rakes and shovels.
No time left for any isms short of multiculturally rich Earthism.
For this we emerged
and to this center we each return
happier together,
more prosperous,
co-mentoring ecopolitical therapists.
Those who choose revenge and terrors
do not believe they have been given a choice;
that they have been born into a mess
out of which they can only compete to explode first and best.
And, who among us
has never known this victim of Earth's vast apathy despair
and darkly smoldered for revenge?
These are those most worthy of catching this compelling vision
for co-redemptive healing of their landscapes and nurturing rivers,
within as without,
purifying our formerly chaste seas and skies
all perpetually
revolving around and with one another
in hope of further resonant resolutions,
fertile regeneration.
Pathologies of eviL
no more or less
than healthy Live as spelled-out
in reverse.
Girl im not the one who i always used to be
U changed my life upside down
I built a city for u
Just to make your dreams come true
But u punished me for treason
But baby i know its not the correct reason
And im not bad
Seeing u sleeping on my shoulder
Was the last thing that i wanted
And now i sit in the corner
Wasting time
In mirror i see no reflection
I feel fake love connection
Nothing but distraction
total head ache
i lost myself
And from tonight I dont wanna know the reasons
And im gonna live with or without perfection
When i first saw u
U were like a perfect painting
Who was always smiling
But i tonight im making the colours fade
I dont wanna remember u
I dont wanna miss those old days
I just want to live every single day of my life
Girl im telling u
Im so glad that u left me
U taught me what fake love is
U left me in a woods with no direction
But ill survive as far the sun shines
As far as i live

To bridge the gap
that is growing
between love and hate
let's lay a strong
foundation of trust
and faith
and construct
an impenetrable bridge
to regain
the lost trust and faith
between love and hate
by greeting
the first ray of sun
with exaltation
and ravishment

General product information
The attractive Calgary Cupola is my unique design that is custom built to meet your barn, home, garage or garden shed needs. Using 100% local Canadian spruce, pine or fir woods or optional cedar, I build to match the slope of your roof. I offer painting and shingling, or I can deliver ready for you to sand, paint, or shingle.
The Calgary Cupola comes in two components for the Garage sizes and Garden Shed - the cupola roof and the base - and three components for the Estate sizes - the roof, louver assembly and base.
There is an internal fastening system within the base, using a lag screw to your rooftop, is a simple and secure installation. Two tools are required for the base installation - a level, and a 3/8" ratchet or wrench.
The Calgary Cupola roof cap is then placed on top of the base and secured with the eight (8x) supplied wood screws. The only tool required for the roof installation is the #2 square (#2 Robertson) screwdriver.
The Super Estate Cupola, Estate Cupola and Large Garage Cupola must be sent by truck because of their large shipping size. The Garage Cupola, Small Garage Cupola, Garden Shed Cupola and Gazebo Cupola go by the postal system.
Calgary Cupola & Weathervane continues to refine the product line and presentation to you, my Customer. Your comments and orders are always welcome.
To design a cupola, to check prices and to place an order, you are invited to use the Cupola Designer. To make an inquiry you can use the Inquiries Form. Both cases will send me an email. Please ensure to fill in your name and email address because if you do not, we cannot get back to you.
Super Estate Cupola
I have developed the four foot cubed Super Estate Cupola. The assembled bare cupola weighs 160# and in a 5/12 pitch measures four feet square at the base trim line, 4 1/2 feet at the drip line, and almost 4 feet in height.
I build the Super Estate in three components and will ship it in one crate. The crate will measure 54 inches square and 22 inches high for a 5/12 pitch cupola. The cupola and crate weighs 220 pounds.
Even if a larger size is desired, I will look at your special needs and expand the plan accordingly, within reason. This is truly a custom handcrafted cupola.
66 or 69 Super Estate (right) two (2x) cupolas built for Pebble Beach, California. Constructed in three components. Photo before packing. Identical dimensions to #62SE & #63SE very top above.

The base including louvers weighs 65# and the cap 32# without roofing. With shingling, the cap weighs approximately 75#. It will require shipment by truck to you.
The Estate Cupola will ventilate 2500 square feet of ceiling space with the roof opened up underneath and a supply of fresh air available in the eaves. For a completely finished look, the 46" or 30" Whitehall aluminum weathervanes or various copper weathervanes are appropriate.
Large Garage Cupola
The Large Garage Cupola in a 5/12 pitch, measures 28" in height, 34"square at the drip line, and 28" square at the base. The cap weighs 25# without roofing and the base 35#. It will ventilate 2000 square feet of ceiling space with the roof opened up underneath. A 30" Whitehall or Derco weathervane is appropriate. We adjusted the size of this cupola to make it the largest size that is acceptable for US UPS shipping (in a 5/12 pitch). For cupolas ordered in a pitch greater than 5/12 we can reduce the rows of louvers to maintain the overall height within UPS shipping sizes. We can stretch the normal dimensions by 1 1/2" height and 2" width for a premium and send via US Post.

The kids are our future leaders after all and though we do what we can right now to make sure the places we love are here for them tomorrow, we must recognize the potential our youth have when their time comes to take the reins.
Kids and families have different needs in the outdoors and we're thrilled to help you, your family, Scout and Brownie troops, and spiritual groups get outdoors to have bonfires and s'mores, bewilderment and memories.
Take a look at our Experiential Learning Capstone courses for those kids who are on the up-and-up. Courses range for ages 12 to 19. 2017 dates to be announced.

You will be as ready for Buterfly Migration as i am after you do. Once again, i freaking loved this!
Shedding your skin and flying like the beautiful butterfly you are! Butterfly Kisses is the most amazing sequel I have read. I get scared sometimes that I won't like a sequel as much as I liked the first book but dare I say it I LOVE MIA!!!!!!!!! What she has written in the sequel will knock your socks right off your feet. In Becoming a Butterfly we meet Lacey, Chase, Lana, Tomas, Byron, and Henry. This group of teens is going through a lot for the age of 16 but things in life are always complicated. Lacey has deceived Henry and embarrassed him by acting like she was another girl just so he would pay attention to her. Chase is still dealing with his move from another town and struggling with his feelings for Lacey. Lana is being bullied by her ex best friend and her ex boyfriend.Tomas has just moved from another city and knows no one until he meets the mysterious Lana. Byron hates Lacey for some reason and he and his sister bully her everyday. What this group does not realize is that sometimes you have crawl before you walk and life will throw you things that are very unexpected and when it does you will find friendship in the unlikeliest places. The summer is over and everyone is reeling from something that happened to them that they did not expect. Lacey and Chase are closer than ever but Lacey will have to make a choice on whether or not she will be with Chase or continue her crazy pursuit of Henry who has made it clear that he hates her and never ever wants to see her or talk to her again. She made a fool of him and his feelings and he did not take that very well. Lana has found Tomas and the two of them are closer than ever. They talk about everything and share time together just getting to know one another. Tomas understands Lana but when Tomas brings her home to meet the parents his father is against the relationship and forbids it. As the story goes on you find out why the father is against it but Tomas will make his own decisions and what he does will shock you and make you so proud of him. Byron and Henry are still best friends but this summer really took it's toll out on everyone. Once the cat was out of the bag that Henry was really dating Lacey instead of Farrah his life has been one big jumbled mess. Henry keeps going from girl to girl and breaking hearts because his heart was broken. Byron is always there to pick up the pieces and take care of Henry. What are best friends for right? Well these two will have a rocky patch in Butterfly Kisses and what happens will totally shock you and having say HOLY HADES I never saw that coming! Butterfly Kisses has so many twists and turns it will have you on the edge of seat screaming for more. When it ended and yes it ended with a cliff hanger Mia is so lucky I love her because I was ready to throw my computer out the window! You will see who Lacey decides she wants to be with. You will see what happens to Lana and who keeps bullying her and why. You will find out more about Tomas and who he has feelings for. You will find out that one of the characters is gay and who he has feelings for. And last but not least one of the characters will get hurt and stay in a coma for a while and when they wake up they will not recognize anyone not even the person they used to love. Mia please write Butterfly Migration FAST like PRONTO because I need it along with my box of tissues!
Wow. There is so much going on in this book that I'm not sure I have had sufficient time to let everything settle. First of all, I have to say that I love this story so, so much. I fell in love with it and all of the characters in the first book and reading this one just put the icing on the cake. Mia knows how to write a novel. She knows how to keep you coming back for more. So many issues are touched on. Mia isn't afraid to get deep and really go outside the box and I really like that. I didn't think it was possible but I actually think I like this book best so far. One of the things I really enjoyed was watching as Lana grew mentally and as a person, it was so nice to see her realizing the mistakes that she had made in the past and that she was accepting of them and wanted to be the better person. I think her being able to see the difference in herself means so much and gives her so much potential to be someone other than that shallow, spoiled little girl that she used to be. However, her character deals with so much and is under so much pressure in this book, I'm almost worried for her in the next. Will she be able to handle everything? Especially now that she no longer has the moral support that she is used to. I'm very interested to see where the story will go with her. All of the characters really have grown and have become their own in the second book. Chase and Lacey are too perfect. Byron is adorable. Henry is, well, Henry is Henry. It's fun getting to know some of the secondary characters from the first book in this one. Watching them try and form friendships with others is an interesting kick. I am already begging for the next book, for the next chapter in these kids' lives. This series is a must read.

As a student, she accumulated debt in order to keep up with her well-to-do friends. She can't pay it back on the wages of a teacher so she started working part-time as a Chat-Lady. In front of a web camera that hides her face, she shakes her breasts and hips. By chance, her student, Kazuaki discovers the web site.

Leeds v Burton - Saturday 15:00
They say blood runs thicker than water and that's especially true when it comes to Nigel Clough motivating teams for games against Leeds United. It's a grudge that goes back over 40 years but the Elland Road faithful seldom pass up an opportunity to let the Burton boss know what they think of his father, and Clough never fails to send out a team that does his father proud.
Six wins out of six was his record against the Yorkshire club as Derby boss. He was obviously blessed with greater resources at the Rams but there's value in the 3/1 about Burton to win. The Brewers have yet to bag their first away win as a Championship club but their players should be left in no doubt that this is the venue where Clough would most like it to happen.
It seems a risky call looking at the formbook. Garry Monk's men are six unbeaten at home (four wins, two draws) but they might struggle to match the intensity of the visitors after going the distance with six first-choice players involved in the EFL Cup penalty shootout win over Norwich. A quarter-final tie against Liverpool at Anfield only adds to the level of distraction.
Shot data says the Brewers are value, their shot ratio being fractionally better than Leeds' and they come into this game on the back of an eight-day break. Clough will want to make that count straight away, so back the Burton/Burton half time/full time bet at 6/1 and there's additional value in them bagging a fourth clean sheet in five outings. The win to nil bet is 11/2.£10 Free Credit and a £500 Deposit Bonus

Thompson Center Arms Omega Muzzleloader Review
Thompson Center Arms (T/C) is perhaps best known for their muzzleloader rifles and accessories. Among their blackpowder offerings, perhaps there most lasting design has been the T/C Omega. For this review we'll be taking a look at the Omega in a stainless, synthetic stock configuration.
Currently the T/C Omega is offered in a variety of configurations. From synthetic to laminated stocks to thumbhole to standard straight stocks, the Omega has a variety of offerings. While the Omega is not as flashy as the newer Triumph, the Omega offers a full feature set for most modern muzzleloaders.
The Omega uses a 209 inline ignition system. The 209 primer is the same primer used in reloading shotshells and either a standard 209, 209M (magnum), or one of the various specialized blackpowder only 209 primers can be used. The inline system works by dropping down the trigger/hammer assembly to reveal the breech plug. Simply load in a 209 primer, close up the trigger/hammer assembly and the muzzeloader is ready to go. The breech plug can also then easily be accessed for cleaning and removal without removing the stock or using special tools. The breech plug can be removed with a standard 7/16" six sided socket.
Breech in the firing position.
Breech in the drop away position that allows access to the plug.
Close up of the breech plug.
The trigger/hammer assembly in the drop away position.
Like other muzzeloaders, when you're ready to fire, simply cock the hammer back like a single action revolver. The Omega trigger is adequate and certainly good enough for the relatively short distances that most blackpowder shots are taken.
The Omega comes standard with Williams fiber optic three dot iron sights which are a noticeable improvement over standard buckhorn style iron sights. Under low light the sights glow faintly and are easy to pick up especially on a darker background. The rear sight is easily adjusted for windage and elevation by loosening a set screw that holds each direction in place.
The Omega uses adjustable Williams fiber optic sights.
Our review model came with a beefy stainless steel barrel. Stainless steel barrels are an important feature on muzzleloaders due to the hygroscopic nature of blackpowder and blackpowder substitute residue. In other words the burned powder residue attracts moisture and the stainless steel will corrode less easily than other steel types. The thick action and barrel are rated for magnum loads of up to 150 grains of powder that are becoming more common as muzzeloaders look for more range and accuracy.
The Omega comes with a strong aluminum ram rod that should give many years of use as long as it isn't misplaced or abused. The end of the ramrod is threaded and will accept adapters for loading various projectiles such as conicals and sabots.
The aluminum ramrod stores under the barrel.
Overall the Omega is a good inline muzzeloader offering. The drop away trigger assembly makes for simple cleaning and priming. Combine this with the solid ramrod, top notch iron sights, and a thumbhole stock and the roughly $500 street price is a good value for someone that is looking for a new muzzeloader to last season after season.
The Omega can accept a scope mount for use in states that allow optical sights during muzzleloader season.

TC is Great for Hunting
Submitted by alexramsey on Wed, 2017-07-12 00:00.

TC Omega
Submitted by rritchey sr. on Tue, 2013-09-24 12:45.
I have had a TC Omega for a number of years now and it shoots great. I have taken a few deer with it and I really like the quality. TC was always easy to deal with and have treated me well over the years, including my TC Hawken flintlock that I bought 37 years ago. I would buy another one in a heartbeat.
Submitted by L.C. on Sat, 2011-11-19 19:41.
I have an Omega. The trigger pull and accuracy are ok but not as good as my knights. The hammer on the Omega is a bit awkward to manipulate with gloves on and when cleaning the bore from the muzzle end with the rifle in a verticle position the drop trigger guard needs to be held in the down position with and elastic to keep it from rising up and hitting the ramrod. I feel that with the advent of Thompson Center's new easy to remove breech plug found on the Triumph and Encore, that the Omega is now out dated.
I like the drop down
Submitted by Retired2hunt on Fri, 2011-09-30 09:21.
I like the drop down trigger mechanism as well as the fiber optic sights.
I bought a TC Renegade 54 Cal muzzleloader about 25 years ago and still love it. It is not as nice as this Omega but I'll keep my Renegade and not upgrade.
My Dad has a TC, and I have
Submitted by Ca_Vermonster on Thu, 2011-09-08 14:28.
My Dad has a TC, and I have shot it before. Very nice guns, but unfortunately, when I purchased my muzzleloader, I had to worry about $$$$. Therefore, even though I wanted a TC, I had to settle for a CVA.
Maybe I will upgrade in a couple of years, and if I do, it would definately be a TC.
TC is Quality
Submitted by codyac21 on Fri, 2011-09-02 09:15.
I love my TC bonecollector. I think that it is one of the finest made guns that I own and highly recommend spending the extra dough. Plus you get to hunt when their screamin!

Tim Humphries
Originally from NJ, molded at Waterville Valley, and Currently living in Lake Tahoe CA; Tim Humphreys is a versatile snowboarder who makes his mark on the snowboard world one selfie at a time. When he isn't creating beautiful GoPro masterpieces, Tim spends his time mostly shoveling out his trenched in snowmobile only to further shovel more snow into a jump form in an attempt to propel himself to outer space, or as close as he can get. With a long list of contest results, video parts, and Instagram posts, Tim has been in the game for quite some time and is no stranger to big jumps. Word on the street is that he eats massive booters for breakfast, and sources at last year's Superpark can confirm that he was blasting 100+ ft before 6am. In his own words "I love huge jumps because then I can be like a cat. Cats always land on their feet from high up. If I have a few stories to drop, I have way more time to get my feet under me".
Will Mayo
I might be 28 but I'm only as tall as a toddler on stilts. I have been riding for 18 years. I started on a plastic board from Kmart on the neighborhood hill just chasing the feeling of freedom and fun with my friends. Now a days the scenery, the gear and the level of riding may have changed but I'm still chasing the same things: good times and creativity. I ride mostly street and a little park but lately I have been in search of backcountry pow more and more. Other interests include surfing, hiking, photography, whiskey and fishing.

Firefighters made significant headway in their efforts to battle a wildfire that has charred more than 1,600 acres of parched brush in the San Bernardino National Forest near Rancho Cucamonga, the U.S. Forest Service said Thursday night.
The Etiwanda fire was 53% contained as firefighters on the ground were working to cut containment lines with hand crews and bulldozers, officials said. The blaze was burning in the foothills Thursday night away from residential areas.
Earlier Thursday, an air-attack supervisor in a plane flew over the fire to pinpoint where the blaze was flaring and conduct aerial mapping. That flyover allowed fire officials to determine that 1,627 acres had been burned.
The fire was fanned by stiff Santa Ana winds, which were gusting at 25 mph to 30 mph Thursday afternoon. The day before, wind gusts of 80 mph were recorded. The powerful winds created dangerous conditions that prevented aircraft from attacking the flames with water and retardant drops.
No major damage had been reported as a result of the blaze so far. Fire officials said Thursday that one house sustained minor damage, but did not elaborate. More than 1,600 homes Wednesday were under mandatory evacuation orders, but those were downgraded to voluntary by the afternoon.
Three firefighters received minor injuries. The fierce winds that pushed the flames had subsided by nightfall, and red flag fire warnings signaling critical fire danger were lifted by the National Weather Service.
The heat wave that has been baking the region was expected to continue through Friday before a cooling trend begins over the weekend, according to the Weather Service.

Non-lead acid batteries were never used on electric vehicles before Honda EV came along.
About 340 Honda's of this model were manufactured. In 1999, however, Honda stopped producing EV model because that is when Honda released the Honda Insight, its first electric hybrid car.
The EV model complied with zero-emission vehicle requirements set forth by California Air Resources Board. This model served as a testing ground for many of Honda's innovations. These innovations included the new power control unit and the pancake-style motor, not to mention the nickel-based battery and electronic control panel. These innovations were later used in other Honda vehicles, especially the Honda hybrids. Some of these innovations were improved in Honda's first fuel cell cars assembled from decommissioned vehicles of the same model.
The EV model had lots of cool features that were considered top-of-the-line for its time. Some of them included regenerative braking, HID headlights, the Avcon connector, regenerative deceleration, and passive battery balancing, not to mention electrically heated windshield and climate control. Moreover, this model of Honda was different from all other vehicles in its niche because some variations of it had oil-fired heaters. Only the units sold in climates with low temperatures had oil-fired heaters.
Though for its time this was an excellent vehicle, driving style could decrease the range of this vehicle, especially if the driver chose to ride it with high speeds and accelerated rapidly. This driving style could have created problem for this vehicle because the all-electric range of this Honda could be lowered by fast speeds.
The interesting fact about EV is that Honda never allowed it to be sold. Instead of selling, Honda allowed people to lease it for only $455.00 a month. When the lease ended, some owners were allowed to extend it. However, most EV Honda's have been scrapped.

Temperature controller for use with PVC BendIt Series A 3, 6, 9 and B 3, 6, 9.
The PVC Bendit can exceed 500 degrees Fahrenheit when the pipe is inside the closed BendStation and that is why you will need to rotate your pipe frequently.
You may use the 1,500 watt Router Speed Control, or similar Dimmer, to control the voltage flowing through the PVC Bendit Tool which results in your being able to control, within limits, the temperature of the PVC Bendit.
With experience you will be able to set the Control so the temperature of PVC Bendit will not heat to high which will allow you more time to work with the PVC Pipe and achieve the bends you desire. You can also find these at Harbor Freight
We also suggest using an instant read digital thermometer to measure the heat on the PVC Bendit and/or PVC Pipe. The Polder Digital Thermometer is around $19.00 at hardware and other stores.
