Johnny was my best friend through our early teenage years;
Wherever one of us went the other could always be found near;
Until he found a girlfriend who soon supplanted me,
But because he was my best friend, for Johnny I was happy;
Johnny had a girl
He had a girl
Johnny had a girl
She rocked his world
Johnny had a girl.
Throughout four years of high school I was always the third wheel;
Going off often by myself, leaving Johnny with his girl;
They learned about biology outside the class room walls;
Johnny always had plans with her every time I would call;
Johnny had a girl
He had a girl
Johnny had a girl
Oh, what a thrill
Johnny had a girl.
One week before graduation, coming home from a date,
Johnny never saw the drunk driver until it was too late.
For three months in a coma, I sat by Johnny's side;
I knew that when he woke up, someone had to tell him she's not alive;
Johnny had a girl
He had a girl.
I took him to the gravesite so he could see it with his own eyes;
We stayed there for hours so Johnny could say his goodbyes.
Johnny got in his car that day and started heading west;
Nobody has seen Johnny since, I wish him the very best.
I've taken care of her graveside for thirty years and more;
If Johnny ever comes home again, we'll be friends just like before;
Johnny had a girl
He had a girl
Johnny had a girl.

In the fall of "59 we played our best...
That was the year we were better than the rest.
Brooks and Richard always led the way...
And John and Butch were there to play.
Campbell and Bailey were on the ends that year...
And with a line like ours Billy never had a fear.
Farley and Bill, great tackles were they...
And Wayne was a great guard-that's what all our
opponents had to say.
Doug and Steve, boy could they run...
In the fall of "59 didn't we have fun?
We had great coaches that year, no one can deny...
Coach Jim, coach John and coach Gainer- they made
us reach for the sky.
We had a team that was really fine...
That was our team in the fall of "59.
WE won all our games and finished number one in the state..
And for all of us who played the fall of "59 will always be a special date.

Once again I tip the scale
And mutter, whoever invented it was a man from hell.
It was not a woman who created weights for size
For women can look past the outer shell
And search deep for what is inside.
Men must have their cake and eat it too…
From head to toe-perfection-from hat to shoe
I dress in all white for today I must teach Sunday school
If only a man's heart would find my food
I can shake and bake
If only on my plate would a handsome man chance to take.
The preacher gets up on the pulpit and puts on his show
Talks about the place where adulterers must go
None of us admit he is a hypocrite as we all know
For he has slept with every woman in the front row.
But, even still my pig's feet goes from hot to cold
No matter how many ties for him I've sewn.
Some women have all the luck
Others like me can't even get a look-let alone a touch
Being me, ah yes, it is too much.
Sister "Gossip" waves her fan as I go past
"Speak out loud?" would be too much to ask.
I wonder if it is my skirt that is too tight
Or whether I will be at home alone again tonight
I wonder if whatever she says about me is worth a fight
Or is it even true and right.
I pray for her soul with all my might,
I can't let the Devil move into my mind.
People tell me I sing like a bird
Its gospel time, time to praise the Lord with words
I walk on stage to take my turn
Hands sway from side to side and my throat burns…
But the men stare at the teenager in the short skirt
And the first lady with the red dress
My curves ripple my stomach
For I am not that blessed
I have what a man wants to hear
But to lye beside me is what they all fear.
The service offered nothing by way of encouragement.
But, I have worshiped God
Even if the day was not heaven sent
I know somehow it must be time well spent.
I kiss the little children good-bye
And pretend all is joyous on the inside.
Satin-Legs Smith walks pass the church and sighs
We all know what is on his mind
Therefore though I dream of marriage he doesn't give me the time.
He looks at me winks and a little smile.
He would only laugh if I asked him to come eat with me
For a little while.
I hang my coat in the closet
Beside a dusty wedding dress
I was wishful thinking when I bought it.
It is four sizes to small
I had planned to shrink into it by last fall.
But, too much time passed and I can't even return it to the mall.
I can't bring myself to put it in the trash down the hall.
I may use it for curtains or to cover the dirt stains on my front wall.
I lay myself down to sleep
And pray to the Lord my soul to keep.
And that I do not die before love I see
It is enough to at least give me hopeful dreams.
Monday comes and I have to go off to clean
For rich white people who don't need anything.
Except for J. Alfred Prufrock
He lives on top
Of the food chain
But he too is looking for love
We're both the same.
He always looks at me like he has something to say
But he can't get past his bald spot or the creases on his face.
Again I wonder should I do the flirting dance
Let him know I am available and that I can
And I will, so he will take a chance
I know he would be willing to love me still
I am not settling for second best!
He is a man!
I am a woman!
Shouldn't we make love manifest?
I think I will give it a go
And see if I could be someone he would come to know
A fine meal some sweet potatoes and a roast
A pan of peach cobbler, such things men love the most.
I will make his house squeaky clean
Show him what he could expect if he married me.
I drive up and he is at his window
Watching his neighbors come and go
Eavesdropping on their conversations
About Michaelangelo.
And he is reading a book, Dante's "Inferno"
"Is this for me?" when he sees the plate of food.
I nod yes and hope it gets him in the mood
He smiles, blushes and turns red.
All sorts of happy thoughts run through my head.
But still he only eats and does not speak
It seems the asking will be up to me.
But what do I say for I do not wish to be
Considered by him, a hussy.
I ask him if he likes the movies.
He tells me he prefers plays
"I have never been to one" I say.
"Maybe I shall take you to one someday."
"And I will make you a German Chocolate cake."
"I guess then it is a date."
How should I wear my hair? Should I sport an afro?
Or get a perm? This is the time to use all those make up tips that I learned.
It seems I will feel the joy of being an Eve.
The birds are singing just for me.
The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming.
Will they be putting Prufrock on my tomb stone
If I do this right I won't die alone…

I heard it so many times,
"Books are man's best friends,"
Not just that I wrote an essay of 300 words in my secondary school,
Yes I read it in the book, 'How to write impressive and ideal essays?'
Honestly speaking, it was out of no choice,
As the other topics were difficult to attempt.
I grew up thinking, "Reading would never be my cup of tea,"
And it held true for many years to be.
I would see people around, glued to books and deriving pleasure,
Also it was my father's favourite activity in times of leisure.
During college I had the company of passionate readers,
In their discussion on books I was just a listener.
They often would talk about new and fascinating book they had come across.
But somehow didn't much bother and I dint assume it be a great loss.
Deep in my heart I had planted a seed,
One day even I should develop a habit to read.
I have to admit I had even put, 'Reading' as my hobby in my C.V,
For it is considered to be an imposing quality.
I joined a school as a teacher,
I had to read stories to children,
I considered it to be a part of my job though found them somewhat interesting,
Still didn't take it very seriously and found it to be alarming,
Until I got married and when my husband was not there,
I had lots of time to spare,
I don't how and why I picked up a book,
It made me smile and I was happy for the decision I took.
I learnt innumerable things from the books I read,
'Hats off' to all those writers my heart said.
Then I realize that in books' company one never feels lonely,
I am convinced for it's the best hobby undoubtedly.
Finally it has happened to me and I am glad,
I owe it to my school and students I have had.

My country pride runs deep within,
some understand it, others don't want to.
A rebel flag, a Dale Earnhardt shirt, and a cold one
at the end of the day.
That is country..
Ridin on your pappy's tractor
while on his knee as he chewed tobacco
and told stories of the war.
Grammy's in the kitchen bakin pies and making lemonade.
That is country..
A nascar race in Charlotte,
a hunting season with buddies that followed you
into the army.
A moonshine til or your first date
in daddy's car with your high school sweetheart.
Catchin fireflies in a jar and rockin on the back porch
listenin to grand pappy's stories of when he was young.
And alwazys rememberin where you are from.
That is country...

There can be tossing and turning and a sleepless night...
Just mentally preparing for the next days fight.
But we love these kids what more can I say...
Life as a teacher provides an interesting day.
There is spitting and cursing and yelling too...
There is pure terror in the parking lot if you're new.
But we love these kids what more can I say...
And for our kids, our pain and suffering will pay off some day.
So we drag out of bed and put a smile on our face...
We want to make a good impression when we enter this place.
We cover our backs as we survive the day...
And we all know that we earn our pay.
Years from now when the movie is here...
We'll sit together and point and cheer.
I love you teachers and I'll miss you so...
And I'll cherish our memories wherever I go.
You'll always be in my thoughts and prayers until the day I die..
And when I stop to remember our experiences I'll pause and cry.
Years from now when these kids are grown...
Let us pray and believe, as a team, good positive seeds have been sown.
Toy collector:
He holds the bear gently in his old wrinkled hands as he gazes into its kind beaded eyes. The toy collector sees love lined in its double stitches and his childhood in the busted toys smile.
There stitched in black thread he can hear the sound of a child laughter, happiness, and growth reviving his memory of youth, like a jolt of life to an empty vein.
The years have passed freely, almost fleeting by. He had no more time to play in grassy school yards or hide from girls wearing satin dress, he had to grow up. The boy eventually turned into a man and was forced to pack away his toys regrettably into a wooden box.
There they sat in the attic awaiting the return of their beloved friend while he aged slowly into an adult.
High school came and went, college, even marriage but unfortunately he was never blessed with his own child. No one to share in the lined pleats of his own childhood. All of this he now recognizes in the bears sandy eyes.
The toy collector hands his most prized procession to his wife, a dazed look covering his forlorn face.
She takes his withered hand and speaks gently in his ear.
"All the memories in the world could never replace the love between a man and his bear."
"Yes, but even the toy collector eventually grows to old and must let go."
He replies in woe.
His thin lips force a smile as he repacks the boxes that escaped him long ago and in the early morn of the next day he patently sits alone outside for a bus to come.
The driver honks her horn and greats him with a warming smile.
"Are all of these toys for our orphanage?"
The toy collector regrettably nods.
"Things have been pretty rough but this will surly lift there sprits up."
She confesses as she gently grabs a random box.
As she stacks them one by on into the now cluttered van his bear falls onto the pavement below.
Unable to pick it up he wrinkles his brow with great sadness.
Suddenly the passenger door opens revealing the face of a young girl and as she draws near she extends her hand and clutches the bear.
"Did you find a friend little Lou?"
His heart melts as she kisses the teddy gently then smiles.
"thank you."
The child coos softly.
The toy collector lives in the toys he collects, but the man lives forever in the bear the child now possesses.

When I enrolled in magical school
Ma said good luck
Dad called me a fool
He always thought with my IQ
I'd fix people up,
Not saw them in two.
But I had a vision
And my self esteem
Hung on the balance
Of this simple dream
So I packed my bag
Gave Ma a hug
Reached out to pop
Who said with a shrug
Watch each one of your steps
Cause each one of them matters
When you walk without looking
You're sure to splatter
So take my advice
It may save your life
You can't step twice
On thin ice.
I'll show that man who I can be
With a B.A.
In alchemy
I have no doubt that he'll be glad
Because my plan
Was ironclad
I bought all my books
Most second hand
I was so ready
To beat the band
But where was my room
Did it disappear?
I'm such a buffoon
Then dad's words appeared.
If you can't find your way
Don't lose your nerve
It's all a small part
Of the learning curve
So take my advice
It may save your life
Rolling the dice
Is a vice
I tried running down the empty halls
But all the doors
Turned into walls
I shouted a chant, before weeping
To get me sleeping
I dreamed about A's
The prodigal son
The star of my class
Magic 101
But soon my visions
Became nightmares
I woke and screamed
And if pop was there
He'd say, when in a jam
Take an afternoon nap
Cause a grumpy head
Ain't worth a crap
So take my advice
It may save your life
To make nice
Sleep twice
At last, I made it to classes
But that first day
I lost my glasses
Teacher assumed I was a jerk
Rewarding me
A week of homework
Then my trick cards turned red
The hare's sick in bed
The bouquet looked dead
So I called home, and said,
"I'm failing Hocus Pocus
Gotta D in smoke in mirrors
It's so hard to focus
When all I make is errors
Then dad said with much calm
First give yourself a hand
Before counting on others
And soon you'll understand
So take my advice
It may save your life
Give yourself a high-five
To survive
So I practiced day and night
'Till each 'Abra'
Came out right
And my Presto-Digi-ture
Was more than
Then all those D's
Turned into A's
Without tricks
I was amazed
Hard work after all
Was a giant step for me
But with dad's advice
I learned the mystery
Each day is irreplaceable
And comes with a caveat
If you waste its offerings
You deserve just what you get
So take my advice
It may save your life
Being wise
Is the prize

Some songs
Are of saddest times
The skies of darkest days
Some words
Bring such discontent
There are no gentle ways
To tell the tale
Without the tears
That tear the heart in two
But I will share
This saddest tale
Of hearts both black and true
There was a widow
With a son
He was a spunky lad
And when she found
Another man
The boy turned
Mean and sad.
The maid who cleaned the widow's house
Saw the what was going on.
How each day the battle raged
As soon as she was gone.
The man took off
His silver belt
And like a man insane
He beat the boy, he cursed at him
And called him filthy names.
The mother's love had maddened him
He hounded the poor child
Jealousy had filled his head
By hate his heart defiled.
He loved the widow, now his wife
Her son was in the way.
He sent the boy away to school
On that their wedding day.
The boy wrote home--
He hated school
They beat him there and worse
They starved the boy
To punish him
For writing silly verse.
The boy wrote home to plead his case
He promised to be good.
He begged to be at home again
He'd even chop the wood!
At the widow's urging
The man re-read the letter
'He must come home'--his sweetheart cried--
'He's promised to be better.'
The man sent off the widow
Quick to get her son
She left him on the next train
Before the day'd begun.
The day was hot, the winds were bad
The clouds, they shouted rain
The neighbors said that angels wept
As they hailed the train
The man stopped by to get the mail
Without his widow'd wife
Another letter from the school
How tiresome was his life!
He put the letter in his bag
And headed his way home
When bedtime came he got it out
He liked to read alone.
'Your son is dead,' the letter said,
The hand was from a man
the school was starving naughty boys
the lawmen had a plan.
The school would close, the boys all leave
But one boy would remain.
The dead boy would be with his ma
When she returned by train.
The man who loved the widow
And took her for his wife
Hanged himself before the dawn
And took his own dear life.
The widow and her son
Returned through beating rains
She walked into that darkened house
And blew apart her brains.

****Self Harm Trigger Warning****
Not for children-
The Book of Sadie Lynn
Sadie Lynn, her wrists are canvas.
Her razor-blade: her pen.
She'll write a scarring story.
I'll tell you how it ends.
It starts with simple words,
They push her to the edge.
"Bitch," "Slut," "Whore," but,
They never understand.
The bloody ink,
it writes the tale.
The crimson pink,
it leaves a trail.
She feels alone and
runs on home.
she grabs her pen
and writes again.
Her mouth, it tastes like metal.
Her storybook of sin,
As she writes her final chapter,
"The Book of Sadie Lynn."

I look around
at this ground
thinking why didn't we
get this before
the lay of white
that fills our sights
why didn't
this happen before.
We can laugh and play
if we want all day
but when we come in hot coco awaits
life is full
of unexpected things
like and risk
a diamond ring
but snow brings a nice day in white
there could no school today
or luckily a two hour delay
but who cares snow is on the ground
and everyone is happy
we don't see frowns.

I'm just a sputtering old fool,
Muttering old school rules,
When times made more sense,
And neighbors were your friends.
Now trapped by utter frailty,
And fear of today's reality,
My moistened eyes fasten,
Upon the new age reaction.
No longer do we aspire,
No longer do we inspire,
Religious or national pride,
For now we must take it all in stride.
That which can utterly,
Steal pride in God and country...
Oh I'm a sputtering old fool,
Just muttering old school rules.
You open doors and say Mamm',
You do everything you can,
You give to the poor and especially,
Love your neighbors, friends and family.
For it is in giving all that you have,
Caring, sharing and loving all you can,
Which tells the greatest story about you,
And lives on in heraldry and tribute.

School bashings in 1951
Oh I went to school in fifty one
Like every six year old should
I did't know what was in store
A flogging for my good?
Bushy got a sandwich from another kid at school
He handed me another, nice tucker it was cool
Bushy did not come this day, I got another sandwich
Head teacher grabbed me by the scruff
A long cane he did brandish.
He thought to drive the evil out
I surely got a thrashing
Blue stripes from heel to nape of neck
Yes mate I got a bashing .
Beryl Mason was the older girl (bushys sister)
Who came and told my father
He sprang upon his horse, did whirl
His stockwhip cracked like thunder
He rode up the steps into the school
And sprang upon the teacher
Belted him often hard and cruel
And Joe become a preacher....he saw the light
So I did not get the cane for awhile after that.
I'd had all I needed for awhile. Don Johnson 6-12-10
My mate Sourpuss Noble of Dirranbandi had his head
Jammed through a plate of glass in a school door ..
As the teacher said .You will not talk no more?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Im here to tell you a story.
Its sad and its true.
I met a girl along the way,
She looked a lot like you.
I would see her on the bus going to school,
Her eyes were o so blue.
Each time she would look my way ,
My heart would come unglued.
We became very close friends,
I saved my money and bought a ring.
As i put it on her finger,
My heart felt like it could sing.
It all came to an end one Friday afternoon,
The school bus blew a tire.
The driver lost controll of the bus,
It rolled and caught on fire.
Kids were screaming , let me out,
But the doors would not open.
As i looked around for my close friend,
She had fallen, her neck was broken.
It was on that day , my heart did break,
I had lost my closest friend.
Now i ride the bus alone,
Trying to comprehend.
As i look out the school bus window,
At times i can still see her blue eyes.
It makes me feel so sad inside,
We never got a chance, to even say good bye.

In the school yard
I am a politician
I am adding subtracting some sort of division
Ladies check out my fresh foamposites I rock with precision
Not the smartest my homework always needed a revision
So don't copy my answers in class it needs more erudition
I am on a mission to score a sweet shorty I am not worried about the competition
Running the school yard is my ambition
Girls in the corner the boys staring like an exhibition
Their is a hierarchy everyone striving for that representation
As if their is an invisible partition
Cool vs lame concealed segregation
An unremitting orientation
Not keeping up with the style is unforgiven
Forever banished, extradition
Tomorrow and the day after will be the same game, endless repetition

They're staring at me
No. they don't care
They constantly judge me
They don't even notice you
She's laughing at me
She's laughing with you
He's looking at me
...he's reading a book?
I need to leave
I'm shaking
Calm down
Music. I need music.
Shit. Dropped my ipod
They're all staring
They didn't even hear it
Walking the halls is the worst
Keep your eyes down.
Left foot.
Right foot.
Just. Keep. Walking.
I hear my name.
Walk. Faster.
Left foot.
Right now.
Damn. They caught up.
Friends. Friends are good.
Eye Contact
Look at them.
"Hey what's up?"
Quick. Don't be weird.
"um.. yeah i'm good"
Try again
"Shut up.. No not you"
you blew it.
School is over now.
Go to your locker.
Get Homework.
I drop everything.
People are staring.
They're helping you
No. Don't need help.
Means i have to talk.
Just say Thank You
"uh.. You're welcome."
"I mean thank you"
Finally outside.
"How was school?"
"It was good today"
In the car.
Safe now.

From stubbed toes ,countless tears and many more to come
Being a Mom is never done
From baseball games,gymnastics,dances and proms
There is no full time job such as mom
From the punishments like no outside and no tv
To the love that was so unconditionally
From "Its painfull to be beautiful" & " Live and learn"
You taught so lovingly yet so firm
Making us proude to be who we are today
Keeping our mouths shut, if there is nothing nice to say
Working how ever long it took
Just to buy me that new pocket book
Getting the school clothes off of lay-away
Man that was the most magical day
It was enough for you, just to see us smile
Letting us stay home from school every once in a while
When we faught, you were the referee
Sending us both to our rooms so seriously
From being our cheif,servant, personal shoufer and maid
Doing it all without getting paid
Hosting parties on our behalf
To practicliy forcing us to get in the bath
Dressing us from head to toe
Not missing one talent show
Your a magnificent sculpter, molding and creating us
A love built on honesty,integrity,compassion and trust
Love you mom your the best!

Ashley Had a Small Goat
Oh, Ashley had a Small goat,
Small goat, Small goat,
Ashley had a Small goat,
And he had a coat of white
He followed her to school one day,
School one day, school one day,
He followed her to school one day,
And drank a some water.
Oh, once he ate a spinach can,
Spinach can, spinach can,
once he ate a spinach can,
Also a line of clothes.
The clothes can do no harm inside,
Harm inside, harm inside,
the clothes can do no harm inside,
But oh! The spinach can!
The can was filled with achemical,
chemical , chemical chemical,
The can was filled with a chemical,
Which the goat thought was food
He rubbed against poor Ashley's chin,
Ashley's chin, Ashley's chin,
He rubbed against poor Ashley's chin,
His deep distress to ease.
There was a flash of girl and goat,
Girl and goat, girl and goat
There was a flash of girl and goat
And they were seen no more..
Ashley's soul to Heaven went,
Heaven went, Heaven went,
Ashley's soul to Heaven went,
And Mr. Goat went there too.

I will learn to read tomorrow
When the teachers are not around
When facebook becomes book face
and instagram, pages of a textbook
Then, my boom will be my companion.
I will write the exams at my leisure time
when the birds sing on every tree
the moon perk and snarl like hyena
and the sun shows no more of its anger
then, the script shall be passed to me.
I will learn to dream at dawn
When papa Te where the He-goat
get its waffy and mother learn to
tell me why I was made a boy in her womb
Then, I will spell out my dreams.
I will learn to write in the classroom
when we learnt gather all what griefs destroyed
And grandma forgets her childhood with
the angry trees in our family compound
Then, I will learn to write in the class.
I will attend the assembly soon
When all the students are no more
The field empty and scary to the eyes
No praises, no clapping, no prayers,
Just me and the grasses gliding through.
The older boys will follow this path
When Old age is no more priority
And those pains in their pride abolished
To the stream of lost and want
This anthem shall teach that school does not build a boy.

Yo, I say yo,
Don't go until you here this,
This bliss, don't dismiss, my message,
I know 8 mc's, 7 in physical form, one in spiritual essence,
We got presence,
It all started, with the Jerry G Lucas,
And then Lucas Jr.
He will school ya,
And Melba, the compassionate,
Castin' it aside, all notions of herself,
In a symphony of sacrifice,
And then there's me the poet scholar,
I wear a colla,
Of slayin' beasts of hatred,
But I'm elated,
Because I found ha,
The christocentric, Madonna,
Who set my world on fire,
She's no lia,
She claims the desire,
Of minions of millions of men,
Who envy my wisdom,
In choosin' this venus,
Who gave birth to the child of light,
I mean a warrior of right,
Autumn, the season of joy,
And with little Woodrow, we make seven,
We going to heaven,
And leadin' the world there,
Gerald G Junior, He'll school ya,
With business elasticity,
And he'll help you see,
The light of common urgency,
The magnificent 7, and with Christ we make 8,
The numba of new beginnin's
Sending, minions, to lendin' love, and covetin' kindness,
Can you rhyme this,
It all started with the patriarch,
He had no fatha,
But with his iron will,
He became the transcendent,
You can't bend it,
His fist of fury,
With methodical precision,
He makes ya listen,
And can you understand, this man, of the ages?
Maybe so, maybe not,
But can't no one stop us,
Cause we a clan,
Of the all mighty,
Shine bright we,
Will change the face of Arrakis,

So the day is finally here,
The day I wanted to avoid.
I wish I could skip a day,
So I dont have to feel so annoyed.
But I have to face it,
Look it in the eye.
I dont want to feel bad,
I dont want to cry.
I'll miss them all,
and I know that's true.
I'll smile all day,
and give them all hugs too.
We all have to start new,
and make new friends.
We will all cry,
but remember this is not the end.

I came home to Mom's house,
After being booted out of Dad's,
And though they called me the Mouse,
I had grown into a strapping young lad,
A high school student who never fit in,
I was a loner and an outcast,
You could find me outside smoking,
Trying to defeat my sordid past,
But once in a while,
Trouble just came my way,
There was one unusual rile,
Let me tell you about that day,
It started the day before,
When a gang cut in line,
And hit my little brother,
When I stepped up this time,
They got mad and decided,
To kick me while I was sitting alone,
Hit in the back I jumped up and asked,
Which loser kicked me in the back bone,
Silence that day was all I got,
But the next day I found the truth,
For the guy who kicked me in the lot,
Was now walking with a cast upon his foot.
They came at me once again,
Calling me out to fight the leader,
And he asked me to fight him,
Behind the gym and in his fever,
He wanted to take my life,
For humbling him at lunchtime,
They would pull their knives,
Gang up on me in this fight,
But I told him no,
Fight me right here and now,
Come on let's go,
Let's have our showdown,
Right here in front of everyone,
And his gang started to form behind him,
And I began to fear as they reached a dozen,
But I stood there firm and grim,
Ready to take them all on,
And suddenly fear crossed their faces,
Then one by one they were done,
Leaving his side they left empty places,
And soon they all left,
Including my adversary,
And I was amazed at this gift,
In the face of a certain beatdown, victory!
Then as I turned to leave I found,
The reason the gang ran away that day,
For behind me stood dozens of kids from town,
Who were tired of the gang and their evil ways,
So when you believe you are all alone,
You may be the one person who,
Can bring people along,
When others are acting the fool.

Back in high school everything was a mess
kids in different cliques, in all types of dress
and everyday a fight to see who's the best
and gun threats with kids having gats in there vests.
Teachers not caring about the education of generation x
didn't believe in the future or us or what's coming next
just in it long enough so they can cash there checks
as they push the kids along, uneducated or not along with the rest.
Security guards check your i.d. to make sure you were where your
supposed to be
But now isn't it so easy to make a fake pass, doesn't anyone see?
so now kids are laying in pools of blood and agony
they say it's safe but schools still very uneasy.
School today's like the wild west
Everyone's fighting, lots of unrest
And every body's just trying to fit in
But some are lost right from the beginning.
School today's like the wild wild west
Everyone's wearing a bullet proof vest
Scared to go to school because of the threats
Afraid as hell as to what happens next.
There's no smiles as you pass by in the hallway
because one false move can make the wrong person angry
everyone seems to be dealing with there own hate
nobody wants to deal with a lonely fate
so much on everyone's plate
and the angst just unable to escape
so when he or she snaps and is in bad shape
everyone runs for cover before it's to late.
Im not out to scare you far from it
but it's time other take notice of it
before more innocent kids die from this
because a child who cries for help gets none of it
a tiny scream inside, the anger that they hide
they always answer with a pistol by there side
and it's up to us to find another way
so those kids who go to school can live another day.
School today's like the wild west
Everyone's fighting, lots of unrest
And every body's just trying to fit in
But some are lost right from the beginning.
School today's like the wild wild west
Everyone's wearing a bullet proof vest
Scared to go to school because of the threats
Afraid as hell as to what happens next.

Nobody knows much about her
shadowy woman she
she haunts ill illumined corners
mostly vicariously.
Single-minded in her purpose
(focused on men of course)
one day she primped down her purse up
and side saddled her horse.
Prince Dick Whit, whom she had married,
impetus for her ride.
had been the Illuminati
for her ferocious stride.
Her Dad, you see, was imprisoned.
She armed with Dick's sway felt
the jester blind King would listen
when time the truth to tell.
Thus rode fair Taise off fearlessly
and cutting to the quick
Taise rescued Dad not tearlessly,
so many wounds to lick.
Was long ago, now both enjoy
reminiscing days old
when Daddy was the prescient one
said, "Please don't tase me, Bro!"
Written by Nancy Jones for Debbie Guzzi's "Creepy Irish Creatures" contest
*Taise is a minor figure in Irish legend who married a hero in order to free her father from prison
**The last line alludes to an outrageously incredible incident that occurred four years ago where I live. If you're interested, I posted the video in "about this poem"

With the financial success of Warners and DC's "Suicide Squad" at the box-office this weekend, it comes as little surprise that the FOX network is trying to capitalise a little bit on that with some brief announcements about the upcoming third season of "Gotham".
The show's executive producer Ken Woodruff today revealed that proto-versions of 'Squad' members and Batman villains Killer Croc and Harley Quinn will be included down the road. Whether it will be this season though is unclear: "The Indian Hill [research facility] that exists in Gotham, that's the bridge to these villains like killer Croc and Solomon Grundy."
Fellow executive producer John Stephens adds that more about The Joker will be developed in coming episodes with call backs to Jerome (Cameron Monaghan): "It's about developing the myth of the Joker, just like we're developing the myth of Batman. It's so we can stretch him over multiple seasons. The cult of The Joker began, and we'll explore how that deepens and changes this year. There are underground movements where they talk about Jerome."
The producers also confirmed that Jada Pinkett Smith's Fish Mooney will appear only in the first two episodes before vanishing for the rest of the first half of the season. She will return for the second half. Check out a tease of the new season in this combined "Gotham" S3 and "Lucifer" S2 trailer sizzle reel that has just been released.

Introduction: Ten for Starters
Hello, my name is James Thomas. Welcome to a new series about modern jazz in connection with modernism as understood by the New Untouchables, an important subject sometimes under-represented among mods and 50s/60s fans.
What was the role of jazz for the mod attitude and aesthetic? How much did early mods really listen to jazz? Where did they buy their records/hear live music? Did some mods follow 'trad jazz' due to its links with early British R&B? How was jazz represented in fiction, film and other forms of cultural media? What about British and European modern jazz?
Jazz is fundamental to Mod history. The Ace/Kent label has produced a series of excellent 'Mod Jazz' CDs/LPs, concentrating on music for the dance floor. These are brilliant introductions to soul-jazz, funky hard bop, danceable cool, Latin and jazzy R&B. See, AN EXAMPLE IS HERE!
Jazz 'beyond' the dance floor, though, is equally 'where it's at'. Far from being 'too intellectual', modal jazz, the New Thing, post-bop, free jazz and their offshoots complement well the existential attitude of today's mindful modernist.
Here are ten introductions to various styles of modern jazz. They're not a 'top ten' of 'mod jazz', but they cover a lot of ground and introduce some essential names.
1. Bebop
Dizzy Gillespie & His Sextet: 'Night in Tunisia' (1946) (From Bluebird 66528-2CD The Complete RCA Victor Recordings, 1995)
Written in 1942 (by Dizzy Gillespie and pianist Frank Paparelli), '(A) Night in Tunisia' is a standard of bebop, the style pioneered in the early 40s by, among others, trumpeter John 'Dizzy' Gillespie, alto saxophonist Charlie Parker, pianists Thelonius Monk and Bud Powell, drummers Kenny Clarke and Max Roach, guitarist Charlie Christian and double bassist Ray Brown. Bebop (or bop), evolving from big band swing, was developed by Kansas City – and New York-based musicians experimenting with harmony, rhythm and improvisation. 'Night in Tunisia' has often been covered; twice by drummer Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers (1957 and 1960). Though not the first version (Gillespie recorded it for Continental in 1944 with singer Sarah Vaughan & Her All Stars as 'Interlude'), this 1946 recording is possibly the most important.
2. Cubop/Latin
Charlie Parker/ Machito & His Orchestra: 'Okiedoke' (1949) (From High Definition Jazz HDJ 4076-CD The Latin Bird, 2000)
Dizzy Gillespie encountered Latin rhythms in Cab Calloway's 1930s orchestra through Cuban bandleader Mario Bauzá, later leader of the dance orchestra of singer-percussionist Machito (Frank Grillo). In May 1943, at Manhattan's La Conga club, the orchestra (minus Machito) wrote 'Tangá', probably the first fusion of Cuban rhythms and black swing-band phrasing. The inevitable dialogue between Latin music and bebop became known as Cubop. Gillespie's 1947 big band included percussionist Chano Pozo, composer of 'Tin Tin Deo' and 'Manteca', while West-Coast pianist/bandleader Stan Kenton appeared with Machito's Afro-Cuban orchestra at New York's Town Hall (January 1948). Norman Granz recorded Machito for his Clef label in 1948 and, soon after, with Charlie Parker. 'Okiedoke', where Parker's solo is fairly straight bebop, is a good example of the genre.
3. Cool Jazz
The Modern Jazz Quartet: 'Ralph's New Blues' (1955) (From Prestige LP 7005 Concorde)
Formed in 1952, The Modern Jazz Quartet became synonymous with 'Cool jazz', a term covering various styles that, from around 1946, dispensed with bebop's fiery tempos. Although mainstays Milt Jackson (vibes) and John Lewis (piano) were trained in bop improvisation, Lewis was in the Miles Davis Nonet, which in 1949/50 recorded some important sides with arranger Gil Evans (released in 1957 as Birth of the Cool). Davis, Lewis and Evans (with Stan Getz, Zoot Sims, Lee Konitz, Paul Desmond, Dave Brubeck and Gerry Mulligan) took a more subdued, ordered approach, influenced by European classical (particularly Baroque Chamber) music. The MJQ were popular in Europe, providing the soundtrack to Roger Vadim's 1957 film Sait-on jamais (released in the US as No Sun in Venice and the UK as One Never Knows).
4. Hard Bop
Horace Silver & the Jazz Messengers: 'The Preacher' (1955) (From Blue Note LP 1518 Horace Silver & the Jazz Messengers)
Connecticut-born Horace Silver (1928-2014) was a key pianist in 'hard bop', a style developed from the mid-50s to the mid-60s. Absorbing bebop's new vocabulary, it drew on blues, gospel and rhythm & blues (big and small band) in contrast to the classical influences of 'cool' and chamber jazz. Hard bop numbers were longer than bebop or straight R&B, melodies alternating with lengthy soloing. Around 1953, Silver and drummer Art Blakey formed the Jazz Messengers, a constantly-evolving combo featuring the cream of East Coast jazz musicians. The catchy, gospel fused 'The Preacher' was initially deemed too 'old-fashioned' by Blue Note producer Alfred Lion. Silver's own quintets, incorporating Latin, soul and modal jazz influences, recorded many fine albums for Blue Note, including The Tokyo Blues (1962), Song for My Father (1964) and The Jody Grind (1966).
5. (Cutting-Edge) Hard Bop
Thelonius Monk quartet, with John Coltrane: 'Bye-ya' (1957) (From Blue Note CD Thelonius Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall, 2005)
'Straight ahead' and 'funky' hard bop, exemplified by Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, trumpeter Lee Morgan, saxophonists Sonny Rollins and Julian 'Cannonball' Adderley and Horace Silver's groups was probably the dominant form of mainstream modern jazz from 1955-1967. However, many musicians involved were not content to repeat the formula. The first great Miles Davis Quintet (1955-1958), featuring John Coltrane on tenor sax, pushed boundaries on LPs like Relaxin' (Prestige, 1957). In 1957, Coltrane joined the quartet of unclassifiable genius Thelonius Monk for a residency at New York's Five Spot Cafe. His playing on Monk's calypso-inspired 'Bye-ya', recorded at a recently unearthed concert at Carnegie Hall (November 1957), reveals how Coltrane's 'sheets of sound' style owed much to his interaction with Monk's abstract
piano phrasings.
6. Modal Jazz
Miles Davis: 'All Blues' (1959) (From Columbia LP CL1355/CS1863 Kind of Blue)
From Miles Davis' epoch-defining Kind of Blue, 'All Blues', featuring Coltrane and pianist Bill Evans, is a foundational example of modal jazz (the title track of Milestones (1958) is often considered the first). Theorised by composer/bandleader George Russell (1923-2009), modal jazz uses scales or modes rather than chords for harmonic progression. This sounds technical and it's often easier to identify than describe modal playing. Suffice to say, improvisation around scales allowed greater melodic and harmonic freedom and drone effects evoking an exotic, 'Eastern' flavour. Coltrane pursued modal styles after 1960 on tracks like 'India', 'Impressions' and 'A Love Supreme'. Pianists McCoy Tyner (from Coltrane's quartet) and Herbie Hancock (whose 'Maiden Voyage' is key) brought modal techniques to hard bop on their Blue Note sessions and those of artists like vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson and saxophonist
Joe Henderson.
7. Soul jazz
Ray Bryant Trio: 'Shake a Lady'' (1964) Sue 108
It's quite difficult to distinguish 'soul jazz' from 'hard bop'. 'Moanin', by Philadelphia-born pianist Bobby Timmons, is considered early soul-jazz; yet the first LP it features on, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers (1958), is classic hard bop. Soul jazz perhaps emphasises gospel's call-and-response structure more. While hard bop usually privileges at least one brass instrument, soul jazz often worked in a rhythm trio format, particularly with Hammond organists like Jack McDuff, Richard Holmes and Jimmy Smith. Another Philly pianist, Ray Bryant (1931-2011), perfected a funky soul jazz style for various labels (Columbia, Prestige, Sue and Cadet). His dance floor mover 'Shake a Lady', covered the following year by "Cannonball" Adderley, is classic soul jazz.
8. Post-Hard Bop
Charles Mingus: 'Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting' (1959) (From Atlantic LP 1305 Blue & Roots)
Double bassist, bandleader, writer and composer Charles Mingus (1922-1979) was a legendary figure for modernists, beats, original hipsters and progressive folkies like Bert Jansch and Davey Graham. His extensive discography includes five or six essential LPs for modernists, including Pithecanthropus Erectus (1956), Mingus Ah Um (1959) and Blues & Roots (1960). 'Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting' kicks off the latter in fine style, a frenetic, buzzing take on soulful blues featuring a six-strong horn line-up (including future Blue Note star, altoist Jackie McLean, the gospel-driven piano of Horace Parlan and Mingus' stunning lead bass). Somewhere between Ray Charles and the free jazz of Ornette Coleman, this is five minutes of aural tension that all modernists need to hear.
9. Avant-garde/New Thing
Eric Dolphy: 'The Prophet' (live) (1961) (From New Jazz LP NJ 8260 At The Five Spot)
Los Angeles-born multi-instrumentalist (flute, alto sax, bass clarinet) Eric Dolphy (1928-1964), like fellow travellers Ornette Coleman, Sun Ra and Cecil Taylor, was part of the so-called 'New Thing' in jazz. Veteran of sessions with Chico Hamilton and Mingus, in 1960 Dolphy recorded his first two LPs for New Jazz: Outward Bound and Out There, and featured on Coleman's groundbreaking Atlantic LP, Free Jazz. In 1961, a momentous year, he recorded with Coltrane (Olé), George Russell (Ezz-thetics), pianist Mal Waldron (The Quest) and trumpet prodigy Booker Little (Far Cry). That July 16, a quintet featuring Dolphy, Little, Waldron, bassist Richard Davis (who would play on Van Morrison's Astral Weeks) and drummer Eddie Blackwell recorded at New York's Five Spot around two hours of fantastically modern music, including 'The Prophet', described by critic Michael G. Nastos as "a puckery blues… armed with minor phrasings and stretched harmonics" (Allmusic). Dolphy's masterpiece Out to Lunch (1964) would be his only recording for Blue Note.
10. Avant-garde/Post-bop
Andrew Hill: 'Siete Ocho' (1964) From Blue Note BLP 4159/BST 84159 Judgment!
Of Haitian origin, Chicago-born pianist Andrew Hill (1931-2007) recorded a dozen or so outstanding, challenging sessions for Blue Note between 1963 and 1970. With one foot in tradition, another in the future, Hill, like Eric Dolphy, Freddie Hubbard and the second great Miles Davis Quintet with Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Tony Williams, skirted the fringes of the avant-garde around a broad range of styles now defined as 'post-bop'. Opening his third Blue Note session, Judgment! (1964), 'Siete Ocho' (Spanish for 7/8) is a pulsating nine-minute dialogue between Hill's exploratory piano and Bobby Hutcherson's atmospheric vibes, propelled by probing bass from Richard Davis and powerful drumming from Coltrane's sticks man Elvin Jones.

text: The government is mulling extending the interest-free loan scheme for local 'young entrepreneurs' starting businesses outside the territory, said Macau Economic Services' director Sou Tim Peng (pictured). The statement was Mr. Sou's response to legislator Chan Meng Kam's enquiry published yesterday, in which the official explained this mulled amendment for the Young Entrepreneur Aid Scheme, an interest-free loan programme implemented in August 2013. However, the published statement did not mention any other changes to be made in the Young Entrepreneur Aid Scheme. The scheme, which grants up to MOP300,000 (US$37,574) lays no restrictions on the type of start-up business although only entrepreneurs who are about to start their business or have already established a business for less than two years are eligible. Entrepreneurs eligible for this scheme are defined as local permanent residents aged 18 to 44 years old. The repayment period for the interest-free loan is 8 years. "Aside from actively studying extending the Young Entrepreneur Aid Scheme to Macau youths establishing start-up businesses in the region, we'll continue to reinforce how we can complement other start-up business support schemes in Mainland China," Mr. Sou wrote in the reply, noting that the government plans to invite Mainland authorities to explain the Guangdong Free Trade Zone's policies to local entrepreneurs contemplating starting business there. Business Daily asked Macau Economic Services to clarify which territories the scheme might support outside Macau but had not received a reply by the time the story went to press. In response to Mr. Chan's enquiry, the Macau Economic Services' head also pledged to create better conditions for local start-ups and small companies to utilise ground floor shops in the city's public housing complexes. A move has been made to amend existing laws governing the rental activities for shops in public housing areas, known as No.28/92/M, whereby the government will make changes to the rental policy for tenants and reinforce the Housing Bureau's monitoring of shop ownership transfers, according to Mr. Sou. The official also noted that of the 56 shops in the Seac Pai Van public housing complex, a major housing site located in Colaone, some 30 shop spaces remain available for lease. The Housing Bureau is currently preparing for a public bid for opening restaurants or retail sales points in six shops in Ip Heng Building, the third phase of the Seac Pai Van housing site, Mr. Sou wrote.

wBW Book Review by Alice Dryden
The Automobile Association has been providing assistance and advice to British motorists since 1905 and is a trusted name in driving circles.
RiDE, meanwhile, is a magazine held in high esteem among bikers.
I had high hopes for Bikers' Britain, a collaboration between these two excellent entities, and I was not disappointed.
Sized to fit in a tank bag, with a spiral binding allowing it to lie flat when opened at any page, the book has been designed to go along for the ride as well as for route planning at home.
There's a foreword from Charley Boorman of Long Way Round fame, but the bulk of the material has been edited by RiDE Deputy Editor Simon Weir, compiled from contributions by readers and extensively tested by the magazine's staff (it's a lousy job, but someone's got to do it).
Some tips for touring -- especially useful if you haven't ridden in a group before -- are presented before you get into the meat of the book.
There are 68 routes in total, divided into regions: South and Central England, Wales, The North and Midlands, and Scotland. (No ferry crossings required). Each section opens with a longer four- or six-day tour designed to showcase the best the area has to offer, followed by several all-day, half-day or even half-hour offerings.
Some routes are circular, while others will get you from A to B. This allows you to construct your own tour or shorter trip, or simply work a nice road or two into your journey.
Route names range from the prosaic ("Beverley to Malton (B1248), does exactly what it says on the tin") to the lyrical: how about the "Tree-Lined Rollercoaster" ride or even the "Hypnotic Cocktail"?
Each route takes up a double-page spread and opens with a description of the ride and the surrounding area. These are not only entertaining, but go a long way towards helping you enjoy the ride by hinting at the types of road to be found and warning of trouble spots.
Alternatives to particularly challenging roads are given, and there are suggestions for petrol stops -- vital in the wilder parts of Scotland.
Fact boxes list local sights and food stops to suit all tastes and wallets, from traditional greasy spoons to seafood restaurants and from castles to caves. The "Links well with" box suggests local roads to join on to the ride, helping you to put your own route together.
The top of the right-hand page gives the mileage and the type of route (loop, tour, "A" road). There's a map of the route on the right side and a turn-by-turn text guide on the left. For longer routes, the maps can be slightly too small to be of use, and I get on better with the "turn left at the church" style of direction anyway.
Atmospheric photos of riders and roads (one chap in a yellow helmet seems to get about a bit) show off the varied landscapes and different riding experiences the country has to offer. At the end of the book, there's a section on "Crossing the Country", which suggests some non-motorway routes for longer distances, making for slightly slower but much more pleasurable journeys, as well as a useful chart showing times and distances between major towns.
The final route, for the ambitious traveller, is a four-day trip from Lands End to John O'Groats.
As a frequent weekend and leisure traveller (though never, of course, as frequent as I'd like), I recognised a few of the routes, and found the descriptions accurate enough to reassure me about the quality of the unknown rides.
Bikers' Britain aims to get Britain's bikers out exploring and enjoying themselves, and it's certainly filled me with the urge to roam. It's a useful manual for planning and carrying out bike trips within England, Scotland and Wales, with a sufficiently engaging style and enough interesting tidbits to make it fun for armchair travellers all over the world.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The football team is struggling to draw fans and the University of New Mexico's Athletics Department is already in the red; now the Lobo basketball team is seeing another sharp drop in season tickets sales.
KRQE News 13 has learned sales are down by more than 10 percent, again.
Lobo fans KRQE News 13 spoke with seemed optimistic about this upcoming season, but as ticket sales show, there might be a little 'wait-and-see' attitude.
Lobo basketball is the king of the New Mexico sports scene.
"Grew up going to basketball games, since I was a little kid," said Indigo Brown, Lobo basketball fan.
But Lobo fans are as honest as they are loyal.
"The team went a little downhill," said Brown.
Along with the rough patch on the court the past couple of years, there's been a drop in season ticket sales.
"Sales are down around the country in a lot of different locations as well," said Drew Ingraham, UNM Athletics Dept.
Season tickets sales have dropped by more than 10 percent each of the past two years, dipping below 9,000 with the first home game coming up on Wednesday.
UNM's Atheltics Department said it's not too concerned with the sagging numbers.
"Our season ticket fan base is one of the strongest in the country, if not the strongest," said Ingraham.
But the university said it is focused on getting fans excited again.
"This year we've hosted a series of open practices," said Ingraham.
They said giving fans more access to the players and coaches will help build that connection.
"So when they walk in to the first home game they're aware of these players and they've already built some type of relationship," said Ingraham.
And also believe in the power of "The Pit."
"It's a cathedral of some points, it's a rallying point," said Ingraham.
Lobo fans said they are also optimistic about the upcoming season, and said hoping for the unexpected is the beauty of being a college basketball fan.
"If they get a conference bid, anything can happen," said Steven Chavez, a Lobo basketball fan.
The athletics department said season ticket sales are so important because basketball money helps fund other teams at the school. UNM says they hope the beer and wine sales in The Pit will also help bring in more money.
The season tips off Wednesday night at The Pit with an exhibition game against Western New Mexico.

Wessex FM News
Dorset PCC Launches Campaign for Fair Gun License Pricing
7:25am 22nd August 2014
Dorset's Police and Crime Commissioner has started a campaign to encourage a rise in the cost of gun licenses.
Martyn Underhill says Dorset Police have to subsidise over 14,000 holders in the county, costing the tax payer £250,000 in this area alone.
The £50 cost for owning a gun for 5 years has not increased for 13 years, compared to £360 for a salmon or sea trout fishing license. Dorset Police are required to foot the bill for all the administration costs incurred by processing license applications.
Mr Underhill added: "This costs, in effect, ten police officers, because the firearms fees are so antiquated and out of date. That cannot be right and in a time of a shrinking police force, shrinking budgets, I don't want to lose ten police officers so let's have some fairness, let's have a level playing field and let's have an increased fee.
"I want to see about £80; that was roughly what we were talking about with the home office. It is quite a steep increase but it hasn't been raised for 13 years. That would give us more police officers back on the street and actually it means people are paying a fair price for their hobby, because this is a hobby."
Mr Underhill has written to David Cameron after he decided against a price rise - despite a plan being in place to implement it.
Negotiations had been going on for over two years with industry representatives, the Treasury, Home Office, the Regulatory Policy Committee and Government Ministers.

Austin, Texas (PressExposure) May 17, 2008 -- Advertising is a form of communication whose purpose is to inform potential customers about products and services and how to obtain and use them. Many advertisements are also designed to generate increased consumption of those products and services through the creation and reinforcement of brand image and brand loyalty.
Every major medium is used to deliver these messages, including: television, radio, movies, magazines, newspapers, video games, billboards, and the Internet.
Interactive Advertising is the use of interactive media to promote and/or influence the buying decisions of the consumer in an online and offline environment. Interactive advertising can utilize media such as the Internet, interactive television, mobile devices (WAP and SMS), as well as kiosk-based terminals. Visit the austin web design about this.
Interactive advertising affords the marketer the ability to engage the consumer in a direct and personal way, enabling a sophisticated and dimensional dialogue, which can affect a potential customer's buying decisions particularly in an e-commerce environment.
Perhaps one of the most effective implementations of interactive advertising is so-called Viral marketing. This technique uses images, texts, web links, Flash animations, audio/video clips etc., passed from user to user chain letter-style, via email. Learn more about this with the austin web design.
Interactive advertising is also assuming other avatars, such as online directories for brands. These directories presently perform a complementary role to conventional advertising, helping viewers recall and compare brands primarily seen on television. Response is mediated usually through forms and click-to-call technologies.
The Internet has brought many unique benefits to marketing including low costs in distributing information and media to a global audience. The interactive nature of Internet marketing, both in terms of instant response and in eliciting response, are unique qualities of the medium. Check out what the austin web design has to offer about this.
Since exposure, response and overall efficiency of Internet media is easier to track than traditional offline media, through the use of web analytics for instance, Internet marketing can offer a greater sense of accountability for advertisers.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'DVD' started by Adam Boatwright, Nov 11, 2005.
I am wanting to brag a bit with my surround system. What movie would you put in? Thanks!
Strange Days- opening scene is possibly the best use of discrete surround ever. (I have the DTS laserdisc and it has a commentary on the analog tracks, so I've never heard how the matrix surround mix of this sounds.)
Toy Story 2 from the Ultimate Collection. The THX intro with the can of cows plus the first five minutes of the movie show it all off - bass, directionality, real heavy bass, and subtle cues as well.
Saving Private Ryan DTS, without doubt, awesome disk.
FIGHT CLUB - fantasy sequence when the side of the airplane is blown open...
I use the same THX intro (but from Monsters Inc) when giving a quick "how cool is this" demo.
Any of the Star Wars movies Any of the LOTR movies Any of the Harry Potter movies Any of the Matrix movies The Incredibles House of Flying Daggers Hero Kung Fu Hustle Saving Private Ryan Blackhawk Down Gladiator Bad Boys 2 Easy scenes would be the jungle chase scene in The Incredibles, lobby fight scene or heli rescue in Matrix, drum dance scene in House of Flying Daggers, opening of Saving Private Ryan, pod race in Star Wars 1, etc. etc. ...Basically any big-budget action movie
U-571 The Fifth Element
Although not too many like it, I put on TWISTER whenever I get something new for my HT.
Many good ones are already mentioned. For sheer overwhelming intensity and clarity, I like the opening battle scene sound from Master and Commander (dts ES). For directionality and way high cool factor, I like the first gun-kata scene sound in Equilibrium. I won't spoil this by saying much about it, but there ain't much to see, it's practically all aural, and I just about guarantee it's a "scene" you'll love to throw on for your friends (and yourself).
Pearl Harbor DTS
How about ID4?
Pearl Harbor DTS definately. Put in Disc 2, and show them the plane crash and the Japanese taking them prisoner. Gunshots are EVERYWHERE and lots of deep bass in this scene. Then, just for kicks, when that scene is over, play the Faith Hill music video to show off music! That song is 5.1 and mixed well.
The crash scene from Flight of the Phoenix as well as some of the others mentioned above.
Return of the King without any doubt. Two main parts: 1. The green signal coming from Minas Morgul as Gandalf and Pippin stand watching and Frodo,Sam and Gollum experience it. 2. The swooping sound of the nazgul on their fell beasts as they fly in to attack Minas Tirith. Awesome.
I still use the AC-3 laserdisc of Top Gun for demos.
Star Wars Episode I Phanton Menace dolby digital laserdisc. Best soundtrack I've yet to hear.
Hey Adam, all those movies posted by other members are the way to go for room shaking results. But you should include Se7en for the subtle details and ambiance the DTS track is known for.
That is the ONLY disc that actually made me motion sick from the sound. The sound of the flying bullets make me so dizzy...it's WILD!
Heck, any action film that is mixed in Dolby Digital Surround EX is bound to be a show-off disc. That doesn't mean recent Dolby Digital tracks aren't as good (or even better). Take, for example, the Batman Begins and the 2005 War of the Worlds DVDs. Those have reference quality audio tracks that are just as good as their DD EX counterparts (too bad BB doesn't have a DTS track), if not a bit better. My favorite DD EX demos are: - The Incredibles - LOTR: The Return of the King (either theatrical or extended) - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - Master and Commander (chapter 4 in particular sounds amazing). My favorite DD demos: See above for Batman Begins and War of the Worlds.

We just got back from a night at the newest Hampton Inn in Frederick. My husband and I are fans of Hampton Inns - we have two small kids and we always find them affordable yet much more upscale, clean and friendly than other hotels in this category.
This hotel just opened six months ago, and we were impressed. The lobby/front desk is beautiful, with lots of cherry wood and granite. They have a little snack area next to the front desk that is open 24 hours a day - the front desk just puts your purchases on your room bill. Kids loved it...and they even had beer and wine for the grown-ups! They also have a few computers set up in the lobby with internet access. Cool.
The room itself was typical of a Hampton Inn - clean, spacious. We really loved the practical changes made in this newer hotel - they must be listening to their customer feedback. The power outlets were very accessible and plentiful, there were even outlets on each side of the bathroom instead of just one with the built-in blow dryer hogging it up. For business travelers, the desk was large and well-shaped for spreading out and getting work done. There was a fridge and microwave in the room, with was a bonus for a Hampton Inn. King-sized bed was SO comfortable.
Kids liked the indoor pool - it's not large, but it's clean and they had fun. The hot breakfast was great (included in the rate), as usual - and there were a few employees on hand to constantly replenish the food and help the guests. One of them even offered to put a whole new table on the floor if we could not find seating.
My only complaint, and it's kind of a biggie if you have kids, is that there was no bathtub! The shower was the length of a bathtub, with glass doors...but that didn't really help us with a three-year-old who hates showers. Also (sorry if TMI), shaving my legs and trying to keep my balance was no fun! Really did NOT like this aspect of the hotel...but that's about the only thing I didn't like.
Highly recommend this place!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

If you see your time pass by – Shaykh Uthaymeen
If you see your time pass by and your life go, and you have not produced anything worthwhile or beneficial and you do not find any blessing in your time then be wary that the statement of Allah has overcome you
Do not get angry, and Paradise will be yours
In the words 'Do not get angry', the Prophet (صلي الله عليه وسلم) brought together the good of this world and of the Hereafter, because anger results in cutting off ties and withholding kindness, and it may lead to one doing harm to the person with whom one is angry, which diminishes one's religious commitment.
The Sun was held back for none except Prophet Joshua
The Prophet (صلي الله عليه وسلم) said:
"The sun has never been held back for a human being from setting except for Yoosha' (Joshua) on the day he was marching to Jerusalem (Bayt ul-Maqdis)."
We have not come across any basis for the story about the sun being held back from rising until Bilaal ibn Rabah (رضي الله عنه) gave the adhaan, in any saheeh or da'eef report, or even in any fabricated (mawdoo') hadeeth that is known.
A voice of the family of Dawood – Abu Moosa al-Ash'ari
al-Bukhaari narrated from Burayd ibn 'Abd-Allaah ibn Abi Burdah from his grandfather from Abu Moosa (رضي الله عنه) that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said to him: O Abu Moosa, you have been given one of the mizmaar of the family of Dawood.
al-Hafidh ibn Hajar al-Asqalani (رحمه الله تعالى) said:
"What is meant by mizmaar is a beautiful voice. The original meaning is a musical instrument and the word is applied to the voice because it resembles it."
Daughter of a Prophet, Uncle was a Prophet, Married to a Prophet
Safiyyah bint Huyayy ibn Akhtab (رضي الله عنها) was a descendant of Prophet Haroon (عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ), and this is why the Messenger of Allaah (صلى الله عليه و سلم) consoled her by saying that she was the daughter of a Prophet (referring to Prophet Haroon (عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ)). And in this context only the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) said that her Uncle was a Prophet (referring to Prophet Musa (عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ)).
Performing an action of the Hereafter seeking with it this world
The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wasallam) said:
Give this nation the glad tidings of glory, establishment in the land, victory, and religious authority. And whoever of them performs an action of the Hereafter seeking with it this world, he will have no portion of the Hereafter from it.

Karimun Jawa Travel Blog› entry 5 of 7 › view all entries
July 28th, 2008 – by: peppy_ahmad
Than we left wisma apung to the shore. There were around 5 becaks ready to take us to the pear. We even had becak riding competition hehehe. Got the pear, this time we took a longer boat to take us back. Since the one that we used the first time was not avaible on weekdays. We took the boat to Jepara.
We arrived at Jepara around 3pm and a driver with mini bus was already standing by for us (see told you to take Pak Joko package, he will arrange everything for you!). The trip from Jepara (known as furniture city in Java) to semarang by car was around 3 hours. We got to Semarang train station around sunset. Peggy had to buy the tickets back (since the rest of us already had ours). But we had to say goodbye to Saby. He was going back to Jogja with the minibus.
Than we rent angkot again to take us to down town. First stop was the street famous for traditional eggrolls called lumpia. ALong with coconut cake called wingko babat. We took a quick stopped to by some stuff for our family back home. The lumpias cost around 3500 IDR/pieces or you can buy 6500 IDR/pieces for bigger one. The wingko babat was around 7500IDR for 20 pieces (for small ones).
After that we took a ride to simpang lima to had dinner. We choose this small food kios. There was a friendly lady who had all these traditional food infront of us. You can have nasi ayam (chicken curry rice) or nasi pecel (rice with veggies and peanut sauce). The food was delicious and the price was affordable. It only cost us around 10.000 IDR included 1 teh botol.
Than we went back to the station.
around 8pm, our train came. Ahhh it's time to say adios to the wonderful experience!!
See you on the next destination of heaven on earth :D
*this blog dedicated to Putri, Ricci, Anti, Peggy, Christine, Andri, Lukito and Sebastian for being such great traveller group! Love you all !!
