James' head was throbbing. He blinked, groaning groggily as he tried to sit up. The floor was cold and hard beneath him, and he shivered, licking his lips.
Where was he?
The room was small and dark, oppressively so, and although he couldn't tell for certain, James was quite sure he had seen a shadow move in the corner of the room, responding to his awakening.
His voice was raw, as though he had been yelling. It struck him as odd that he couldn't recall how he had arrived in this strange, foreboding place. Searching his mind desperately for some answers, it occurred to James that the last thing he remembered was studying in the library…
How very strange indeed.
"Hello?" he tried again. "I can see you, you know."
It was a bluff, though James hoped a good one. He couldn't help but grin as he heard a sigh in response.
"You want to lighten this place up a little, and tell me what in Merlin's name I'm doing here?" he asked smoothly.
The sigh had sounded wistful, even feminine.
"I'd – I'd rather not," the other person muttered suddenly, confirming James' suspicions. The voice didn't even seem particularly old, which could only be a good sign.
"Are we still in Hogwarts?" he asked the girl.
She seemed manageable now, somehow. Yes, it did indeed appear he had been kidnapped, but he wasn't frightened in the least. After all, who would want to hurt him?
"We are," she conceded, and all worry left James' mind.
"And we're in the Room of Requirement?"
"Of course we bloody well are, Potter," she snapped, suddenly aggravated. "Stop being so bloody… self assured, and smug… and – you!"
James blinked disbelievingly as the grin on his face widened.
No way…
"Evans?" he asked incredulously.
"Shut up," she replied instantly, evidently grumpy.
Realising that he could stand, James did so, feeling his hands up against the wall for support. It occurred to him to look for his wand, and sure enough, there it was in his pocket.
His prison illuminated, James raised his eyebrows. Lily had certainly outdone herself: stone walls and floor encased the room completely, and the overall effect was that of a damp, cold, dark and slightly menacing place, although James couldn't help but be reminded of the dungeon classrooms.
Lily was sitting in the opposite corner, arms hugged around her knees, face hidden in a tumble of hair.
James approached her easily, hands in his pockets. "Do you want to tell me what's going on?" he asked conversationally.
Lily sniffed. "We're trapped," she replied miserably.
James slid down the wall to sit beside her, rolling his eyes. "Obviously, since there isn't any door. I meant, how did we end up in here?"
Lily raised her head to glare at him. "It's all your bloody fault," she replied haltingly. "If I hadn't kidnapped you neither of us would be stuck in here."
James fought the urge to laugh, holding up a hand as Lily opened her mouth once more.
"Wait – you kidnapped me and this is my fault?"
Lily hunched her shoulders and hid behind her hair, emitting a muffled and extremely sulky, "Yes."
James could hold it in no longer: he simply had to laugh.
"Lily Evans, you have well and truly outdone yourself," he told her fondly. And, as an afterthought, "What did I do to deserve a kidnapping?"
This time, James couldn't make out her reply. He leant closer, so close that when he asked, "Pardon?" Lily jumped. Her head shot up again, and to her extreme discomfort, she found his face much closer than she expected.
"I said, I couldn't get you to go away."
"So you put us together in a room without a door?"
Because that obviously seemed like the logical response…
Hang on –
"Besides, I haven't annoyed you all year, so I really don't know what you're talking about."
Lily sniffed. "You're in my head, damnit, Potter, and I want you out."
"I'm in your head?"
Lily leapt to her feet and stalked away, but James was quick to follow.
"Come, now Evans. You can't be scared of sounding stupid – it'd take a lot to outdo this mess we're in."
Fists clenched and teeth gritted, she turned to him furiously. "I can't stop thinking about you, ok?" she screeched shrilly. "And I've had it up to here with you and your… you!"
James' heart thudded in his chest, and he felt the sudden need to sit down. Backing toward the wall once again, he sank to the ground.
"You can't stop thinking about me?" His voice was faint, as though he couldn't quite believe the words. "You can't stop thinking about me, after all those years of being absolutely horrid to me? You hate me! And now – now this?"
"All's fair in love and war," Lily replied shortly. She gestured to herself suddenly, eagerly. "Go on, then. Take the spell off. I've had enough."
James shook his head numbly. "I don't have the faintest idea of what you're talking about, Evans. No spell, I swear."
Lily frowned, biting her lip and running a hand down her neck in a manner that James found so enticing that he had to restrain himself.
"Sirius, then?"
"No, he wouldn't do that, I'm afraid. I think it's just you," he told her, as sympathetically as he could muster.
Lily scowled. "It can't be me. It's just like you said: I hate you! I absolutely and completely loathe you. I wouldn't care less if I never saw you again, Potter. I don't understand why all of a sudden I- I can't… I can't do this, you know. I'm going insane. Make it stop, please?"
She gazed at him imploringly. James, who felt as though he had once again landed back in reality – Lily Evans was yelling at him, after all – threw up his hands to illustrate his helplessness.
"I don't know what to do, Lily. I'm sorry."
She winced. "Don't – don't – say my name. Merlin, I can't even look at you without – It's just not good enough. This has to stop, now!"
He was stuck in a room without a door while the love of his life was literally deconstructing in front of his eyes.
"Li- Evans?" he offered tentatively, patting the cold stone slab beside him invitingly. "Come and sit."
Eyes squeezed shut, Lily shook her head in refusal. Sighing, James stood. She jumped as he gripped her shoulders and gently directed her to the floor, before resuming his seat. Then, hesitantly, he put an arm around her. "Just calm down," he advised. "Everything is going to be all right."
"It isn't," she said, so positively that it flawed him. "There's something wrong with me."
"There's nothing wrong with you," he told her softly. "You're just a bit mixed up, that's all."
And without really understanding how he had come across the information, James began to explain things in a slow, soothing voice.
"It's not really me you're angry with," he murmured softly, stroking her hair. "You're angry with yourself. You're not used to doing things you don't want to, because you're so in control all the time. You never ask yourself for anything more than you're willing to give, and you can't understand why this is happening, because you don't want it to happen, but you can't make it stop, can you?"
Lily shook her head balefully, chancing a glance at him in wonder. "How did you know all that?"
James grinned. "Ah, well, you know… All's fair in love and war, Lily."
Lily raised her head hopefully. "Know thy enemy?" she suggested, grasping for something she could understand.
James met her eyes sadly. "Not quite," he told her softly. "More like, know thy own heart."
"Know thy own heart."
Lily gasped, seeing that familiar look in his eyes. It was a look she absolutely dreaded: eyes wide and enticing, he held her gaze, and the depth of admiration that look carried was frightening.
"You don't really fancy me," she said, more to herself than to him.
James laughed softly, the arm around her shoulder tightening. "Oh, but I do," he contradicted softly.
Lily shook her head. "No, you can't," she said simply. "You can't like me."
His hand gripped her shoulder, now. "Lily Evans, I fancy you, for all your stubborn denial. I'm sorry, but that's the truth."
Lily remained silent this time, processing the information thoughtfully. Who was this solemn boy, with his arm around her, apologizing for being attracted to her? And, more importantly, what had he done with the rude, arrogant and infuriating Potter?
His heavy sigh promptly brought her back, just in time to hear his wistful:
"Not that it matters, anyway."
James's head bumped against hers before coming to rest there. May as well savor the moment before it passes, he thought sadly.
Because, inevitably, Lily was about to hex him.
"Why doesn't it matter?" Her timid response was the last thing he had expected.
"Because as much as I fancy you, you're never going to fancy me, so it's rather hopeless."
He couldn't believe he was having the conversation, really. He had thought about it constantly, considered the words so many times before, but it had never occurred to James that he'd ever speak them.
Lily was shaking her head for the umpteenth time. "Not so hopeless."
James breath caught in his chest, and he turned to look at her once again. "Not?" he repeated, although it was a struggle to get the word out.
"I – I couldn't stop thinking about you… because I think I fancy you."
James didn't know what to say.
"And I couldn't fancy you, because you're so… well… you."
Lily glanced at him abruptly as he made a soft choking sound. James' face was the picture of absolute disbelief. However, he didn't seem ready, or able, to speak.
"But," Lily continued softly. "You're not being you. You're being someone else at the moment, and I… I quite like him, to be honest, so, you know… I just figured I'd let you know: not so hopeless."
"Not so hopeless," he agreed, brain scrambling.
Swiftly, he removed the arm from around her shoulders and moved to kneel in front of her.
Lily watched him suspiciously. "You're back, then." The hostility renewed to her voice was almost chilling.
James' eyes widened, and he shook his head, giving her a weak smile. "No – no, no, I'm still not me," he reassured her quickly, and Lily seemed to relax once more. James continued doggedly. "Or – or rather, Evans-"
"Call me Lily. You're allowed to call me Lily. Just not… you know, you."
There seemed to be a very strange logic to this girl, James decided, fighting a smile. A very strange logic indeed – which made her, in his eyes at least, all the more endearing.
"OK. Anyway – I was going to say, Lily… that I rather am being me. This is me."
Lily blinked. "But you can't be you, because you're horrid."
James' face contorted, so that it appeared he was grinning and frowning all at once.
"That's the thing, Lily: I'm not horrid. You just think I'm horrid. This is me, really."
Lily looked at him skeptically. "To be honest, I don't really believe you. I mean, if you're you, but you're… this – then what do I call you?"
"James. My name is James."
She nodded, cocking her head to the side. "All right," she agreed. "I'll call you James… but I still don't believe you."
"Well I don't know what else I can say-?"
"Prove it, then. Prove to me that you're James, but you're you. Because I really can't see how you can be both, but if you are, you can prove it to me."
James nodded slowly, at the same time wondering, mystified, how he had ended up at this point. Maybe he really did have a split personality? At the very least, he was beginning to suspect Lily did - or alternatively, some other debilitating mental issue. Maybe even concussion. Concussion was a preferable option, since it at least was temporary.
"How do I prove it to you?" he asked reasonably.
Head still cocked to the side, Lily squinted at him. She looked so positively adorable that it was all James could do not to-
"Kiss me."
"Excuse me?"
"The you I know would do anything to kiss me. And if you really are him, you'd want to. So I suppose the big question is, do you, as James, want to kiss me?"
"Of course I do!" James was almost offended.
Lily smiled. "I don't suppose I'll mind, either, so long as it doesn't transform you back into you. I don't think I want you to change back – it's quite nice, you-"
Lily found herself cut off by the kiss she had been requesting. She also found, greatly to her surprise, that it was very much Potter who was kissing her. He was just as fierce and confident and passionate as the boy she knew and loathed… but at the same time, all she could taste, and feel, and smell, was James.
He pulled away, panting slightly to catch his breath. "Has that convinced you, then?"
James felt rather giddy, although he hadn't expected anything different from kissing Lily. Realistically, he had just fulfilled his daily wish of about four or five years, so to be all over the place was to be expected.
"I – I rather think you have convinced me, yes."
The disappointment in Lily's voice cut through James' euphoria like a brutal and effective killing curse.
"Oh. I'm… I'm sorry then," he replied, stomach sinking.
They were back to where they had started, once again, and it was all his stupid fault for-
"Don't be sorry," she said quietly. "I didn't say I minded."
"You don't?"
Lily offered a shy smile. "I… I daresay I liked it, even – James."
James grinned, although the smile instantly vanished as she rolled her eyes.
"Oh, yes," she murmured dryly, "You are Potter, aren't you?"
James nodded. "Very much so, Lily."
She sighed. "And we just kissed. And I like you…"
"You still like me?" his voice was so high and squeaky that had it been any other occasion, James would have been thoroughly ashamed of himself.
"Of course I do. That was the whole problem… although now, it doesn't seem so…"
"Problematic?" he suggested slyly.
Lily nodded. "Yes, thank you. It doesn't seem so problematic. So long as you keep being James and don't go all the way back to Potter, I think we can manage marvelously."
James eyed her quizzically. "But I'm still me," he reminded her gently. "I… I don't really think I can't not be me…?"
"But you aren't being you. Not the Potter I know. You are being the James I know, though. Just… just not Potter-the-twat."
"I don't think he exists," James said thoughtfully, looking all the more self-assured. "You'll just have to get to know me a little better, won't you?"
Lily grinned. "And how do you propose I go about that, do you think?"
James performed a double take, delighted. "You're flirting with me!"
Lily slapped him over the back of his head. "You dolt," she muttered, standing up and offering him a hand.
James stood and accepted her hand, pulling her to him and wrapping his arms around her. "Yes?" he replied cheekily.
Lily scowled, although her eyes danced playfully. "Don't you dare, Ja-"
She was cut off by another kiss. Yes, she was certainly going to enjoy this new and improved James Potter…
He pulled away, eyes twinkling. "Now that that's sorted," he spoke briskly, "how do you propose we get out of here?"
Lily drew back a little, gazing around. "See, that was the problem – that's why I ended up stuck in here with you-"
"Not that I'm complaining," he interrupted cheerfully.
"- I wanted a place you couldn't get out of, and then the door shut and disappeared and I couldn't get out either…"
"But you asked for a door, right?"
Lily's eyes snapped back to his incredulously. "I what?"
"You asked for a door once it disappeared, didn't you?"
She shook her head slowly, mouth formed into a soft 'o' that James wanted to kiss again. And he would, too, he decided, right after he got them out of this place.
"Lily, this is the room of requirement. You asked for this room, and it gave you exactly what you wanted-"
"Minus the door."
"Minus the door… But you could have just asked for a door."
She eyed him doubtfully. "All I had to do was ask for a door?" she repeated faintly. "All I had to do was ask and I wouldn't have-"
"Not that we're complaining," James repeated once more. "All you need to do is ask, and we can get out of here, and go and see how many people pass out in shock when we walk into the common room holding hands."
Lily smiled, shaking her head in disbelief. "I can't believe I didn't think of that," she admitted ruefully. She added, rather absently, "And I bet Sirius is the first to fall."
James grinned, kissing her forehead. "You're on. Weave your magic, door-lady."
Lily closed her eyes, thoughts focused on nothing more and nothing less than a door by means of leaving the room. She opened her eyes, breathing a sigh of relief as a door materialised in the wall before them.
Shaking her head, Lily preceded James out of the room, waiting whilst he closed the door. He did so, and they watched it vanish back into the wall together, arms slung about each other.
Lily grinned up at them. "I'm so sorry, you know…"
James returned her smile. "I'm not," he responded easily as they began down the corridor.
Even before they reached the end, Sirius came skidding into sight.
"Prongs! Prongs! I think the Map is malfunction-"
Sirius slid to a halt before them, eyes widening. He stretched out a hand to the wall for support. "Oh Merlin…"
James sighed audibly, turning to Lily gravely. "He didn't faint," he murmured sadly.
Lily couldn't help it. She had to laugh.
"What's going on?" Sirius demanded, apparently recovered enough to regard them suspiciously. "Prongs, if this is some sort of joke, then really, mate…"
James slung his free arm around his best friend's shoulder, and together, the three of them strolled off down the corridor, Sirius peeking curiously at James and Lily, as though they would disappear the moment he looked away.
"Paddy, have you ever heard the old saying 'All's fair in love and war'?"
A/N: A lovely bit of romantic nonsense for you all! Hope you enjoyed it, and I would love to hear from you if you did!
Thanks for reading,

Washington Dc, (PressExposure) February 03, 2009 -- A website is made for the user and to send the message of the owner. Any web developer should keep this in mind and should work along those lines if they plan to make their website a success. One thing any developer should avoid is to work with their own interest in mind. When a developer works with a designerâs mind set, then this might overload your website with unnecessary elements which can undermine your websiteâs usability.
One of the questions thatâs on every surfers mind is âWhere can I find what I need?â The next one would be âHow fast can I get it?â These two questions give emphasis on the importance of content and speed to the user. Now the question is âHow can you (as a web developer) provide that?â
According to a Los Angeles website design firm, Crest Media Inc., itâs important that you know what your visitors are thinking and make the necessary steps to satisfy their needs. They get what they need and you get their attention, if that was the case, then everybodyâs happy. This is the scenario that you should be aiming for and there are a lot of ways to achieve that.
This Los Angeles website design firm believes that in your website, you should always keep the focus on your content. This is what your visitors are going to look for in your site and this is what you want to get across so itâs only common sense that this is the focus of your website. Keep the images and other distractions to minimum. Apply only the needed images and as much as possible use those images to contribute to the overall delivery of the website. This also helps load your page faster which is a plus for any surfer. Your code also plays a large factor when it comes to the loading speed. Optimizing your code not only hastens how fast the page loads but this also will give you an easier time when you need to edit your website.

Weighted medal count: U.S. still tops, Canada finishes second
The United States won the most medals in Vancouver, but Canada ended the Winter Games with the most golds. The press has declared the U.S. the winner of the medal count, but the International Olympic Committee will rank Canada at No. 1 by virtue of those 14 gold medals. So, which nation was the true victor of the 2010 Winter Olympics? Fourth-Place Medal has created a new medal tabulating system to answer that very question.
For years, the media has used total medals to determine the winner of the medal count. It's an imperfect system in which a country winning six bronze medals would be ranked ahead of a delegation bringing home five golds. That method is only slightly better than solely using gold medals as a benchmark, which is the official IOC stance. Should silvers and bronzes really mean nothing? Why even award them then? Canada's 14 golds are a great achievement. But are they more impressive than the 28 silvers and bronzes won by the United States?
In an attempt to end the confusion, Fourth-Place Medal developed a clear-cut, weighted system to evaluate the Olympic medal count. It assigns value to each medal and also gives added importance to medals won in marquee events. It's not perfect — are five bronze medals really equal to one gold? — but our weighted count is a vast improvement over the simple tally currently used to determine the "winner" of the Winter Olympics.
In FPM's system, most gold medals are worth 25 points, silver medals are worth 10 points and a bronze earns five. Other attempts to assign a value to the medals have used a 5-3-1 distribution. That scoring system overemphasizes the importance of silver medals. Two silvers certainly aren't worth more than one gold.
Another wrinkle we've added is that the medals won in some marquee events carry a higher value. Though a gold medal is a gold medal no matter if it was won in a high-profile sport or not, some events have more prestige and, therefore, should have their medal value reflect this. Basically, a gold in women's figure skating should be worth more than a gold medal in men's skeleton. For these marquee events (figure skating, Alpine skiing, speedskating, men's hockey), we've doubled the point values (gold: 50; silver: 20; bronze: 10).
Here's how it broke down:
The United States wins our weighted medal count thanks to 14 marquee medals and the staggering 28 silvers and bronzes won overall. (If you take away the nine gold medals won by the U.S., the nation would still have finished second in the medal count.) Canada finished third in the total medal count but leaps ahead of Germany in our tally on the strength of those 14 golds. The victory in Sunday's gold medal hockey game moved the Canadians closer in our weighted total, but the lack of secondary medals kept them one step lower on the podium they wanted to own.

I recently ordered these for a couple reasons. I am really enjoying the first set of E Line pearls and crystals I bought. Also, they are going to be PERFECT against the bright, winter-themed colors of some paper I just ordered. I love the E Line pearls for their perfect hold on projects, they're versatility as each peice stands alone; the rich colors in each assortment! I absolutely intend to get a third pack as soon as I'm able. AND, if Prima is looking for color suggestions, some bright and dark reds would be greatly appreciated as well!
All of Prima's e line pearls and crystals are great, but this assortment is particularly versitle and has all of the basics (a creamy pearl, and white pearl, a grey pearl, a black pearl, a diamond, and a black diamond). There is two of every size!
I love the look of the adhesive Pearls and the crystals look so rich. I do love Prima products and the way their products look on my cards and on my scrap layouts. Nice touches when used with other Prima products.
I've been using many of these pearls so far and the possibilities are endless. I've used them for bubbles, stars, fireworks or simple as frames.
Thank you for the Eline! I love that i got 60 pieces here for under a $1.50! I will use these for at least two LO. Thanks again Scrapbook.com!

Dynamite 2S Li-Poly 20C Battery Pack (7.4V/180mAh)
I purchased two of these batteries when I first got my Micro-T. They both broke in about a week. One would charge and read proper voltage but wouldn't operate anything while the other literally went dead and wouldn't charge. Luckily AMH did a great job and refunded my purchase, but the $18 price tag per battery as I've now found is way over the top. You can easily find 180mah 2s LiPo's with balance plugs even for under $5 a piece. I'm not sure why these LiPo's are so expensive, but the quality obviously doesn't live up to the price tag.)

I think I mentioned how huge our fitting was standing out there in the water. There was everything during the landing. I looked around, there were hospital ships, destroyers and tankers and every conceivable type of warship from destroyers, cruisers, light cruisers, carriers, they were all out there as far as the eye could see. It was so awesome that it is hard to describe.
What I'm leading up to is that one night, I don't know if it was in the same location that we had been in, but it was dark and we were looking up at the sky because we heard the drone of a Japanese airplane which sounded way up there, it was like an angry bee, roaring around up there just lazing away. I guess the radar picked him up and the search lights went on, they were all over the island while we were occupying it and the searchlights started to search for that airplane. It took quite a little while before one searchlight finally picked him up. It looked like a big white bird up in the sky and as soon as that first search light picked him up the others followed suit. He must have been in the glare of at least several dozen search lights.
Everything on the island opened up—every anti-aircraft gun, even the smaller stuff like 20mm and everything out in the ocean, all the ships out there started to fire at him. They must have used tons and tons of ammunitions and the sky was crisscrossed with white and red lines. I believe there is a picture somewhere whether it's in Life Magazine or one of those, I don't know; but it was just amazing to watch. I'll never forget the sight. They never did get the airplane, it just flew away after a while.
Another night we were lying there trying to sleep and something happened because the ground forces up ahead of us apparently called for Naval gun fire to help them and some of the big battle ships out there started to fire their big guns, their 16" guns and the shells were going over our heads and out toward the Japanese. When they came over it sounded like a freight train, just unbelievable and I thought "My God. I'm glad I'm not on the other side of that". The Japanese must have really trembled when they heard that.
This reminds me about the stories that the Guadalcanal guys used to tell about being shelled every night by the Japanese navy, just off of Guadalcanal they expected the Japanese fleet in every night since there was nobody to stop them. Our guys would just dig their foxholes deeper and deeper, whenever they got a chance they would dig their holes. I was told they would use ladders to get down into the hole, so it must have been quite deep. They would go around and pick up fallen trees or logs wherever they could and put them over the openings and covered them with steel plates or whatever was available.

This item may have been worn but has no visible signs of wear.
Selling my BCBG shorts jumpsuit, worn once to an event for about an hour. Extremely stretchy material, it flatters and fits most body types, from smaller to larger breasted women, from petite to tall. I'm 5'8" and it looked fantastic on me, but this isn't really an outfit you can wear with a bra unless it's layered or worn underneath an outer jacket, sweater, etc. When laid flat, the waist measures 13" across, but stretches easily up to 15". The distance from top shoulder hem to bottom edge is 26.5", but stretches longer on top as well as the bottom. The inseam on the shorts is only 4", so how they fit on you depends on how tall you are. Mid-length sleeve, this outfit is netted on the front, the tops of the shoulders, and the back, and has a drop-back all the way down to the waist. The white name tag is visible through the black, so that is your decision about whether or not to cut it off. This can be worn over leggings, with boots and a long fur or trench coat to be fashionable even in this cold weather. Pet-free, smoke-free home. Thanks for your interest.

Tears started to flow like a water fall from my eye's the boy's all stood there struck with fear and anger Dallas didn't know what to do you could see it written all over his face my father smirked walking backwards keep the blade to neck he opened the back door of the car shoving me in it I hit my head on the other side yelping for pain and before Dallas could get to him my father got in the front seat and sped off
"you think you can just run away from me you stupid whore huh? Think again you fucking bitch you ruined my life so now i'm going to fuck up yours" my fathers voice was harsh I laid there holding my head crying I had to get out of here some way some how I had to do it.. I looked on the ground there was nothing I bit my lip sitting up I covered his eye he swerved multiple times cursing and clawing at my hands when he started to go off the road I sat back doing up my seat belt right before we started to speed down a hill I shut my eye's before we collided into a huge tree class shattering my body was yanked forward I slowly opened my eye's my father laid there his head against the steering wheel a chunk of class sticking out of his skull blood gushing from the open wound slowly making it's way down his skull I pushed on the door trying to open I rammed my body against it unjamming it I fell onto the ground my body hurt more then ever I slowly crawled my way up the hill using roots and such to pull my self up I could feel the blood streaming down my arms from the glass that cut it as I made my way back to the road I saw Darry's truck speeding down it he came to a screeching halt as he saw me the boy's all hopped out I felt my self going in an out of consciousness as my ears rang Sodapop was saying something but I couldn't heart my body fell over onto him and darkness took over me I don't remember much of what happened next I remember being in the truck for but my eye's were only open for a moment and Dally was shaking me trying to keep me awake the next time my eye's opened there was bright lights passing me as I was wheeled down a hall by doctors and after that it was just silence and blackness I wasn't sure how long it was it felt like an eternity to me but slowly and gradually I could hear a beeping it started of very faintly way off in the distance and slowly but steadily got louder and as It did I could feel pain threw out my body and soon my eye's flutter opened to be blinded by the bright light of the hospital I tried to sit up pain filled my I groaned
"whoa easy there miss" said an unfamiliar female voice I slowly sat my self my arms shaking under the pressure I could see the lady now she was in a suite she smiled at me
"my name is Barbra I'm you're social worker you've been in a coma for a month were so glad you're awake your friends have been dying to see you but first if you''re up for it id like to have a little talk with you" she said her smile was sweet and her eye's were kind but deep down I knew nothing good was going to come from this I just nodded she took a deep breath
"well.. you're father passed away in the accident and since he was you're last living relitive when they release you from the hospital you will be sent to a girls home" Barbra talked slowly letting it all sink in I blinked the door opened It was Ponyboy he had a book in one hand his eye's went wide as he saw me
"Marley you're awake" he screamed he ran over dropping the book Barbra got up and left the room Ponyboy sat on the bed opening his arm's wide letting me lean into him for a hug
"we've all been so worried about you we all come to visit everyday Darry's here every night after work and sits for hours, Steve and Sodapop come and visit it all the time they talk about girls and car Two-bit comes in and tell's you jokes and makes the nurse come in so you can watch Mickey-Mouse with him and I come everyday and Read even Johnny come stop visit but he doesn't let Beth in and Dall he's here all the time even when the others are here he's just out having a smoke I'm so glad your awake" Pony was rambling on but I didn't mind It was nice to know the boy's cared he slowly pulled away I looked down
"Pone.." I said softly
"there sending me to a girl's home..." I said to him trying not to cry
"WHAT" I hear Dallas voice say me and Ponyboy both looked up at the door to see Dallas standing there he looked steamed he hands turned to fist his face was red rage was in his eye Ponyboy slowly stood up putting his hands in the air
"Dally.. you need to calm down.. we'll figure this out.. you sit with Mar.. I'll go get the gang someone will no what to do" Ponyboy's voice was calm as he walked towards the door Dallas didn't say anything he just walked over to me and sat in the chair Ponyboy ran out the door I sat there looking at Dallas I gently rubbed my foot against his leg as he sat there glaring at the door he looked like he was going to pounce and kill anyone who walked in Ignoring the pain the pulsated with in my body I slowly got off the bed putting my hands on his shoulder
"Duckey" I said softly his gaze was directed at me and became soft and full of worry he placed on hand on my waist as I slowly sat down on his lap I brushed my hand against his face
"it'll be okay.."I said softly Dallas didnt say anything he just leaned down and kissed me it wasn't rough like the ones before it was soft and tender full of love we slowly parted he rested his forehead on mine we sat there in silence
"I hope Two-bit brings me a beer and chocolate cake" I said softly Dallas chuckled and ran his finger threw his hair
"if he doesn't I'll make him go get some" he said smiling giving me another small peck I smiled and leaned my head on his shoulder not long after we heard the nurse and other voices screaming back and while they were screaming the door opened and Ponyboy walked in with Johnny and Two-bit
"I brought cake" said Two-bit with a smile holding some out I giggled he walked over and handed Dally the plate and fork he sat up on my bed Johnny gave a week smile I waved a little there was still yelling I looked over at Pone
"Steve snapped.. which made Sodapop snap" he said I tried to get up Dally wouldnt let me
"but I gotta go tell him to shut up" I complained Dall chuckled putting the cake and fork on the table he picked me up wheeling the IV with me to the door he opened it and sure enough the nurse, Steve and Sodapop were there screaming at each other
"Grease Monkey and Fizz head leave the nurse alone get the hell in here and give me hug's" I demanded Steve and Sodapop stopped yelling and turned to look at me a smirk on there faces
"yes ma'am" teased Sodapop I rolled my eye's Dally walked me back into the room sitting me on the bed I tried to reach for the cake he picked it up getting a piece on the fork and held it to my mouth I opened it rolling my eye's
"that's so cute it's gross enough to make me hurl" said Two-bit I laughed we sat for a while making little talk mostly asking how I was and what was happening
"where Darry.." I asked softly
"he's talking to the Social worker" said Sodapop I sighed Dally fed me another piece soon after Darry came in his face was not a happy one I knew it meant bad news
"so?" asked Ponyboy Darry sighed
"there ain't anything we can do we ain't family there's no choice" he said sadness in his voice
"that's bull shit were the only family she dose got!" said Steve standing up
"Steve.. it's okay.. Darry tried that's all that matters.. I can still write you.. and maybe ill be able to come see you guys or you'll be able to see me.. and in a couple years I'll be 18 and I'll be able to come back" I said trying to think of positives none of the boy's were happy and Dalls grip tightened I sighed they stayed there in till the doctors kicked them out I couldn't sleep that night all I could do was cry I was awoken in the morning by Barbra
"Marley sweet heart.. it's time for us to leave" she said softly as I sat up I saw a bailiff behind her I sighed the nurse came in unhooking me I was handed some clothes I got changed Barbra placed he hand on my back as she slowly walked me out of my room
"what about my friends" I said softly she wouldn't look at me
"I'm sorry sweetheart.. they aren't here and we can't wait" she said I felt tears well in my eye's she walked me out of the hospital to the car she opened the door as I got in and right before she closed the door I heard my name begin screamed I turned to see Dallas I put my hand at the window he came running down the street Barbra started to drive tears fell from my eye's as I watched Dallas slowly disappeared I leaned my head on the back of the passenger seat tears flowing as I leaned forward I felt something on my neck start to fall forward I touched it gently I felt a chain I fallowed it it was Dally's dog chain the tears fell harder my life had finally felt like it had meaning I had friends that loved me and now I had lost it all I had nothing left I cried the entire way to the home
"were here.." said Barbra quietly I sniffled and wiped my eye's looking up I saw an old looking house that reminded me of a prison I got out and fallowed Barbra to the door she knocked on it loudly the door opened and older lady with a sour look on her face he nose turned upwards and he hair was pulled back tightly she looked strict and mean
"this the orphan girl" she asked he voice had a think Russian accent
"yes this is Marley" said Barbra the lady put her hand on my shoulder and pulled me in
" she will enjoy it here" the lady said slamming the door she pushed me aggressively into the house
"the kids are in lessons you will start them shortly the kitchen is off limits you eat when your served and if you don't then you starve no exceptions wake up is 5 am no exceptions bed is 7:30 also no exceptions once you're placed in your room you will have a list of chores there it no laughing or yelling and no talking unless spoke to understood" she said I just nodded she shoved me up the stairs
"good" she said forcing me down the hall she opened the door to a room it was small had one bed and small window
"this will be you're room till I figure where to place you change into that dress and leave everything else out side the door do not leave the room unless I come get you" she said forcing me in and slamming it I flinched tears started to fall I changed into the dress it was a mute grey and plain I laid down on the bed i was hard i stared at the wall crying missing the boy's I didn't want to be here I wanted to be at the Curtis house cuddling with the boy's with Dally watching mickey-Mouse with two-bit I couldn't help but cry harder I played with Dally's chain in my fingers suddenly the door opened the lady came back I stood up she walked over to me and ripped the chain off me
"no jewelry" she said threw gritted teeth she walked back to the door slamming it I fell to the ground crying pain and anger filling me I grabbed the pillow biting it it wasn't the same as biting Dallas nothing would be I started at the door I couldn't stay here I refused to be here some how one way I was going to get out and I was going home.

Keywords: oceanblock. 2-Bedroom, 1 Bath Duplex
We came on our "babymoon" this past week. The apartment was super clean, fully stocked kitchen, new grill, super comfortable mattress.
Never needed to use the AC as the beach cross breeze was absolutely delightful.
Nice deck that gets great sunlight and an umbrella- table should you like to have shade. You can even see the beach from the deck :)
The owners were staying downstairs and were super helpful with any issue we had.
Perfect for a couple or for 4 people max.
It's cozy and was absolutely perfect for us. We hope to be back next year with our little one :)
We rented the lower level unit and could not have been happier. The owners were quick to respond to emails, very friendly, and even had the house ready for us several hours before check-in (though we could not take advantage because we were too slow getting ready ;) The house was clean, bright and cozy. Although there is not central air, the window units in the bedrooms were sufficient to cool the entire apt during one of the hottest weeks if summer. And because the house has ample windows, we got a terrific cross breeze as well. We have two small kids, so it was wonderful knowing that we were right on the beach and didn't have to lug our gear across busy highways, or worry that our kids would run out into a busy street. The kitchen was well-stocked and there is a shared outdoor shower that I don't think is mentioned on this site. The only - and I mean only - thing that would have been terrific would have been a few beach chairs or an umbrella for guest use. We had a fantastic vacation and hope to return next year!
We came to relax and we definitely did! The beach was quite and beautiful. The owners were very easy to contact. The kitchen was complete; the home was very cozy. The location was perfect. We cannot wait to come back!
This property is as advertised - bright, clean, organized, super comfortable and just steps from the ocean. We had a lovely dinner on the deck one evening. I would be happy to return with my family of 5!
I stayed at this property on the upper level for three nights in late May and would recommend it. It's homey, very neat and organized. The living room, with its white walls and ocean blue accents, offers glimpses of the ocean. A great house for or family of 5.
We rented the upper level for a 4 day get away in October. It more than met our expectations. The owners were gracious and did everything to make our stay pleasant. The cottage was clean and cozy. Highly recommended.

After 20 years as a third-grade teacher, Joseph Sundstrom retired early to focus on music full time. And now, he's the brunt of everyone's joke and doesn't mind a bit. That's because the character he plays in Lyric Opera San Diego's production of the operetta "Die Fledermaus" is a lawyer.
"I'm sort of the fall guy," said Sundstrom, a tenor and a Carlsbad resident. "I get the brunt of it. There's a trio at the beginning of Act I and it's mostly these two people haranguing the lawyer and eventually I get tossed out of the house."
It seems that the wealthy Gabriel von Eisenstein has insulted a policeman and has gotten eight days in jail for his crime. Eisenstein and his wife, Rosalind, blame the lawyer for screwing up the case, which is why he is being harangued in the first place.
That event opens the door for the revenge of Dr. Falke, once the victim of a practical joke played by Eisenstein that resulted in his nickname of Dr. Bat (die fledermaus). By the end, wrong men are in prison, a marriage is destroyed, and everyone agrees to blame it on the champagne.
"It truly is very funny," said Sundstrom. "There's a lot of good-natured fun."
For many years, singing is what's been fun in his life. While teaching in Whittier, Sundstrom performed and recorded with the Roger Wagner Chorale for eight years. During that time, he also toured four times with the ensemble.
"I've had a lot of wonderful things happen to me because of the music," said Sundstrom, 60. "I'm an average guy with a pretty good voice, but I've
been to Europe twice and to the Orient, all because of singing."
Sundstrom also performs with the San Diego Master Chorale (led by Martin Wright, who is also conducting the Lyric Opera production), and he spent 10 years in the San Diego Opera Chorus. This is his fifth production with Lyric Opera San Diego and his first principal role with the company.
"I've had other small roles, but this is wonderful," he said. "It's such a supportive company."
The greatest challenge for him is the trio number. His part is done in a patter singing technique.
"I have to say it very fast," he said. "So I practice wherever I can, in the car or when I'm walking outside."
For Sundstrom, it's a chance to continue growing in the musical life that he loves.
"It's wonderful to be around people who work on their craft," he said. And, like the teacher he was for 20 years, he added, "It's just important to never stop learning. That's why I'm so glad to be part of this fabulous production."
"Die Fledermaus"
When: 8 p.m. March 26-27 and April 2, 2 p.m. March 28 and April 3 and 4
Where: Lyric Opera San Diego, Casa del Prado Theatre, Balboa Park
Tickets: $18-$27, general; $15, ages 13-18; $12, ages 5-12

Shrouded in mystery like the Mists of Avalon itself, Celtic-Welsh Raven Warrior Goddess Morgen Le Fay (Morgen the Faery), the great Sorceress-Witch Queen of the magical Isle, is known by many names including Morgaine le Fee, Modron, the Morrigan, Fata Morgana, Argante and Faery Morgana. She also has many titles including Great Queen, Queen of the Fairies, High Priestess, Queen of the Otherworld, Priestess Queen of Avalon and the Lady of the Lake.
Sorceress par excellence of Arthurian legend, Morgen Le Fay is believed to have learned her extraordinary skills under the tutelage of legendary magician Merlyn. After Arthur's final battle, Morgen Le Fay carries wounded King Arthur to Avalon to be healed. Giver of healing ointments, this shapeshifting sorceress is maligned as an evil enchantress by medieval Cistercian monks who thought it blasphemous for a healer to be female. Renowned for her magical prowess and associated with the goddess Modron, she is both a supernatural being and human. Morgen Le Fay rules over Avalon with her nine sisters called Morgens.
In honor of the extraordinarily powerful witch queen of my Celtic ancestors, this bold burgundy MORGANA "Celtic Lights"™ pillar candle is generously scented with delicious otherworld pomegranate, power packing cinnamon, soft vanilla and other select magical oils. Adorned with a rose-burgundy Czech glass crystal and bronze charm hung on exquisitely hand crafted limited-edition fabric ribbon, black stardusted MORGANA exudes masterful witch power and queenly elegance.
Candle measures approximately 2x3 inches. Please allow for natural variation.

Here it is – the long awaited full-frame Pentax. The Pentax K-1 is a solidly constructed dslr camera that feels good in the hand, and should appeal to many photographers looking to step up from APS-C Pentax DSLRs, as well as those looking to use older K-mount glass on a full-frame format for a dslr camera.
The body of the K-1 is constructed of a lightweight magnesium alloy, and has 87 seals around the body. The dslr camera; K-1 is dustproof, weather-resistant and cold-resistant. It's built around a 36MP CMOS sensor that has a number of tricks up its sleeve. A base ISO of 100 suggests it's the same sensor found in the Sony Alpha 7R which, without an AA filter, should yield plenty of detail and dynamic range. The dslr camera does lack the option for an electronic first curtain though, but it remains to be seen if shutter shock will be a real-world issue.
Pentax K-1 Full Frame DSLR Camera (Body Only)
3 used from $ 1,748.00
Free shipping
- 36.4MP AA Filter-less CMOS Sensor w/ 33 AF Points; SR Shake Reduction w/ Pixel Shift Resolution System APS-C Crop Mode for backward compatibility with PENTAX APS-C Lenses
- GPS/Electronic Compass/Astro Tracer
- Cross-tilt LCD display
- Weather-resistant body
- LED illuminated body points
Yes, it's valid. The new Pentax K-1 is the first run through Pentax has ever made a 35mm full-frame digital camera. That's amazing considering Canon and Nikon (Dslr camera) have been at it for years, but also explains why Pentax has lagged behind for so long. Where did loyal Pentax fans go when upgrading to full-frame not Pentax. Enter the K-1!
1) Its outstanding value – Pentax isn't foolish. It knows it's way behind the game, so its answer is to offer outstanding value for money. The K-1, which features a 36 x 24mm 36-megapixel sensor, magnesium alloy body, weather sealing and another five-axis in-body stabilization system, will cost just £1,599 body-only.
That's about the same as the first-gen dslr camera; Nikon D810 and the D750, but the K-1 has better specs and features than either. Moreover, that's the value now. Will undoubtedly descend in future, which will only make it better value still. The D810, for example, cost £2,700 when it first launched in 2014.
2) There's already a healthy decision of lenses – DSLRs are only as good as their lenses, so it's an important point. Pentax says it already has 12 full-frame compatible lenses on the market, with two more coming in time for the launch of the Pentax K-1in April. Moreover, the K-1 works with any K-mount Pentax lens from the past, though older ones will only support manual focus.
3) It has an abnormal "Flextilt" screen – This is interesting, but possibly not in a good way. Instead of a hinge, the 3.2-inch screen pops out and tilts on what I can only describe as stilts. Pentax says they're extremely strong, so strong you can lift the dslr camera from the screen. That's great, but this design doesn't afford as much flexibility as a regular hinge design.
4) No AA filter (but it can be simulated) – Removing anti-aliasing filters (AA) is de rigor these days as it leads to sharper shots, so it's no surprise the Pentax K-1doesn't have one. But Pentax says the K-1 can simulate an AA filter by "applying microscopic vibrations at the sub-pixel level". This creates the same moiré reduction as an optical AA filter would, or at least that's the idea.
5) There are loads of things you'll like – Pentax ticks loads of boxes with the Pentax K-1. You get a 100% field of perspective from the pentaprism optical viewfinder, 4K video capture, lightweight magnesium alloy body, weather sealing, Wi-Fi and GPS. There's even a handy mode, called Astro Tracer, that combines GPS data and the in-body stabilization to make it easier to photograph night skies by compensating for the earth's rotation. Shrewd!
The Pentax K-1 will go on sale in the UK in mid-April with prices starting at £1,599 body-only. There's another LED to make it easier to attach lenses in the dark, too. There's a good range of accessories, including a battery grasp with extra controls.
There's a dedicated dial for switching on Wi-Fi and other modes, such as HDR. You can also switch between exposure compensation and ISO control on the top-mounted dial using this mode selector. The main mode control dial features five user preset modes.
The Flextilt screen can rotate 90-degrees upwards, but it's not as adaptable in other directions. It seems like a good idea, but I'm not sure it works well in practice. We'll see a better perspective of the screen mechanism. These metal stilts are strong enough to hold the dslr camera's weight, though I wouldn't make a habit of holding the K-1 like that.
The K-1 weighs 925g body-only and just over a kilo with battery and card. Pentax quotes 760 shots from a full charge. It didn't supply a figure with the battery hold included, but 'lots more' should be the answer.
The K-1 is great news for loyal Pentax owners. You finally have something to upgrade to if you fancy going the full-frame course – and why the hellfire wouldn't you? It's also a superb value alternative to the serious canons from Canon and Nikon, and I suppose Sony if you're including its range of full-frame mirrorless dslr cameras.
There's a larger question if this is too late to maneuver Pentax back into the fold, as it were. But for now it's enough to say that on paper, and on first impression, the Pentax K-1is an impressive effort. Hopefully it will experience its billing when it goes on sale in April.
The dslr camera is extensively sealed and features magnesium alloy construction. But despite its range-topping status and high-end manufacture, it has a relatively low list cost of $1799.
Pentax K-1 Key Specifications
- 36.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor with no anti-aliasing filter
- 5-axis image stabilization rated to 5 stops by CIPA standard testing
- 100% pentaprism viewfinder with 0.7x magnification
- 33-point AF system (25 cross-type)
- Extensive weather-sealing
- 1/200 sec flash sync speed
- 14-bit Raw recording (DNG or PEF)
- AA filter simulation
- Multi-shot Pixel Shift Resolution mode
- Built-in GPS with electro-magnetic compass and Astrotracer function
- 4.4 fps continuous shooting (6.5 fps in APS-C crop mode)
- Wi-Fi
- 1080/30p video
- Sensor-shift cleverness
As this list of spec highlights should make clear, the Pentax K-1makes the most of its moveable sensor. As well as the image stabilization, which is rated to an impressive 5 stops, the DSLR camera offers a host of other astute features. These include anti-aliasing filter simulation which vibrates the sensor during exposure to intentionally obscure high recurrence detail across numerous pixels, to avoid moiré. Then there's the Pixel Shift Resolution mode that increases color resolution by shooting four consecutive images with the sensor moved by one pixel – successfully canceling the Bayer color filter array and lowering noise by image averaging.
The other sensor-shift modes are also shrewd: the Pentax K-1includes Horizon Correction, which rotates the sensor if you hold the dslr camera slightly off-level, and the Astrotracer system that uses the sensor's development to cancel-out the impact of the Earth's rotation when taking images of stars (something it can calculate using its GPS).
The dslr camera gets another AF module (called SAFOX 12) which features 33 focus points, 25 of which are cross sort. The central three of these offer higher precision when used with F2.8 or faster lenses and the central 25 continue to focus down as far as – 3EV.
A 86,000-pixel RGB metering sensor acts to offer 77-segment metering but also aids the camera's autofocus system, enabling scene analysis and subject detection to yield accurate exposures and automatically select the correct AF point to stay on your (subject tracking) when using continuous AF.

Remember those goals I set, back in January? I'm not so sure I am doing a great job with them. I plan to review them sometime this month and evaluate myself, but for now let's talk about dresses.
Basically I haven't worn any in the last two months. I have been wearing work out clothes a lot, but dresses, no.so.much. When I wake up in the morning I tell myself that I am going to the gym, so I get dressed to do so. I tell myself that I will come home and shower and then change into clothes for the rest of the day. What actually happens doesn't always match what I tell myself will happen.
You can see I had quite a few failed shopping attempts. It is challenging to buy a dress off a shelf somewhere. My body does not fit into a cookie cutter mold. I am also sure that a lot of you also have this problem. Maybe that's why making your own clothes is increasing in popularity.
I am glad that I am ahead of all the dress wearing I did last year, because so far I am sucking at this goal of mine.
I could really use some inspiration. If you are on instagram snap a shot of you in a dress and hashtag it WearMoreDresses2014 so that I can see your style!

You have definitely heard that dogs look like a human sometimes and vice versa. There are even many comparisons, on the internet. But some pet owners tried to see how their dogs would look with human eyebrows. The results are hilarious and if you like to have a good laugh then by all means – take a look, but beware you may get a stomach pain. That cute little chihuahua looks really surprised.
1. Like a real pro
2. If you don't give me a treat I will hate you

Millions of Brits ditch foreign holidays after Brexit vote sends costs soaring
MILLIONS of Brits have changed their holiday plans after the Brexit vote.
Up to 1.5million will stay in the UK after the plunging pound sent the cost of foreign travel soaring.
A further 900,000 have decided they are no longer going on holiday at all because of fears over finances.
And 28% of those asked said they were concerned over the frosty reception they fear they may get from the Europeans.
Three out of 10 said they simply want to support the British economy by spending their money here.
The research by Kwik Fit found 52% of holidaymakers will be using their car on a holiday trip this year, averaging a distance of 1,002 miles.
But motorists are now paying more at the pumps following the EU referendum result, despite the price of oil falling.
RAC fuel spokesman Pete Williams said: "We believe there is now a strong case for a cut in the price of unleaded on UK forecourts.
"The fact remains that the headline oil price has a huge bearing on what we pay for fuel at the pumps, and it is this price that has been falling as a result of relatively weak global demand and new fears of oil oversupply."
Fuel prices have been increasing since the winter when the average price reached a low of £1.01 per litre.
Those planning to drive on their holidays were warned to carry out proper checks.
Four in 10 motorists admitted they do not check their tyres or oil.

She says she's seen the damage the Taliban's done in Afghanistan, and thinks it's a mistake for Pakistan to make deals with the Taliban.

Six months ago, I wrote a similar headline. Today, after hearing from a source inside the Times that "we have some layoffs coming," I asked the newspaper's spokeswoman, Jill Mackie, whether additional cuts are indeed on the way.
"Yes," she replied, explaining:
While the deepest impacts of the recession have softened, there are still some lingering effects. To the degree possible, we have managed these impacts by remaining laser focused on keeping our costs in alignment with anticipated revenue on an ongoing basis. As a part of this, we have been reworking our workflow and systems in the company to find efficiencies. Some of these efforts result in our ability to accomplish our work with fewer people.
Regrettably, there will be a very modest number of reductions in staff—a combination of voluntary departures and limited layoff. Details are still being worked out. Departures are likely to occur between early August and the end of September.
UPDATE: Mackie adds that the current number of expected departures—whether through layoffs or "voluntary separations"—is "approximately 12."
That's for the whole Seattle Times operation, which currently has over 1,000 full- and part-time employees.
In the newsroom, which has about 200 employees, Mackie said the number is expected to be "in the single digits."

I love def poetry and I'm so excited to hear it and learn about it in class. I watched the videos that Dr. Scanlon posted on the blog and my favorite was the one by Gina Loring, Somewhere There is a Poem. It is so cool how she intertwined history and touched on major historic events and people and it all flowed so well when she said it. I'm always amazed by how def poets speak their poems so well and so fluidly. My favorite part, well I have two. The first was when she sang the beginning of Amazing Grace-incorporating different spoken art styles into the reading is one of my favorite things and it really added to the poem, it gave it even more of a musical flare. I also loved how she used repetition to transition from one subject to the next and how it made her sound as if she was rapping. The poem flowed so so well and I loved her voice as she recited, the intonation and changing speed with which she spoke was beautiful. I found the written poem online and pasted the lyrics here because I loved them so much 🙂 This was so great!
Somewhere there is a poem
And I want to write this poem
I want to speak this poem
I want to feel this poem
I want to experience this poem
Cradle it in my arms
Feed it a good meal
And send it on its merry way
I want to sing this poem
"Amazing grace, how sweet the sound"
Somewhere there is a poem screaming
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Human beings, human beings
Beings being so
Caught up in the tangible material surface
Or that they never actually feel
Their touch is liquid and grazes right through
But misses the core
This poem whispers to me
And rocks me to sleep
And tells me stories of indigenous people
Diseased and tricked and slaughtered
And made to be extinct
But this ain't no pterodactyl
Or tyrannosaurus rex blood flowing through my veins
I am a Creek American Indian
I exist
I am an African
I am an old Jewish woman muttering prayers in Yiddish
As my name is replaced with a number on my arm
I am a little Japanese girl
Staring in horror
As my village is bombed and burnt to the ground
I was born in India, but not to the right caste
So regardless of what I accomplish
I will always be a peasant
I died in Mexico three feet from the border
Gunned down by evil troops
Who shoot for a living
Who sacrifice their souls for
The man-made boundaries of these Americas
Somewhere, there is a poem somewhere
Dozing in subway stations
And flying high on a 405
And taking the L to Brooklyn
The 15 to Vegas
And the Marter through Atlanta
And cruising down a dark street in Oakland is a poem
This poem comes from somewhere deep
Somewhere where the angels sleep
Where pixies dance and mermaids weep
Where hymns are hummed
So God will keep us all in mind on Judgment Day
This poem warns, but does not sway
For what you do is up to you
Where you go and who you know
If you close up, or if you grow
Somewhere there is a poem about the insanity
Of war, Hiroshima, Hiroshima
Hero, hero, war hero
Hero-, hero-, heroin is
Crack cocaine is
The systematic genocide of my people
Brown skin behind bars
Locked up behind bars
Trapped behind bars
And slaves behind bars
Kept in lines behind bars
Counted behind bars
Bars, there are more bars
Selling alcohol on a single reservation in Oklahoma
Than in all of Ventura county, county
Counting me in 'cause I'm down for the revolution
Which may not be televised
And may not get radio play
But it will be told through poetry
'Cause somewhere there is a poem
This poem speaks to me and draws me in
Like an amusement park to a kid
I want to freak this poem and dream this poem
And share it with y'all
Hold up, shhhhh
I just did
Tags: #hailscanlon, and so it begins, I'M JUST SUPER EXCITED ALL THE TIME., I'm obsessed with her. Whatever, Insightful? Not even a lil bit., stop fussing and learn to love it

Starred Review, Publishers Weekly, May 28, 2012:
"Sierra hints at parenthood's more trying moments, yet what resonates loudest is unconditional love… the mixed-species adoptions quietly affirm the value of families in all their varieties."
School Library Journal, June, 2012:
"The joyful illustrations feature the same pointy-faced animals as in the two previous books… Fans of Wild About Books (2004) and ZooZical (2011, both Knopf) will flock to this one as well."
Horn Book, July/ August, 2012:
"Children will love one spread in particular in which the baby animals are hiding but can be spotted by observant eyes… this is a good choice both for group sharing and as a loving bedtime story."
Kirkus, May 15, 2012:
"In lively rhyming couplets that beg to be read aloud, Sierra's zoo animals are back, this time proving that it takes a village zoo to raise children… Bright colors and bold patterns fill the pages, but the true stars are the animals, whose mutual affection shines through on every page."

Thanks for contacting us, Dieter. Please see our 15-208 pivot shoe. Do you think this could be it? You may want to remove your shoe from the window to confirm that the style and measurements are the same.

Three of drug-and-rob gang held in Delhi
Shakeer, 42, Mohammad Matin, 28, and Sorab Alam, 24, were arrested Sunday near Malviya Nagar Metro Station in south Delhi.
"As many as hundred tablets of a sleep-inducing medicine and robbed items were recovered from their possession," said Sanjay Bhatia, additional deputy commissioner of police (crime and railways).
The trio revealed that they used to drive autorickshaws. While one of them drove the vehicle, the others posed as passengers. They then went to railway stations and bus stands and induced other passengers to share the vehicle.
"On the way, one of them would offer the victim a cold drink laced with the sedative and rob him as soon as he or she lost consciousness," Bhatia added.
