Obviously, you want your company to be safe. But what if you don't have a formal safety program in place? Where do you begin? How do you bring the entire company on board and help your employees catch the vision? We are often asked these same questions.
If your company is starting from scratch, establishing a safety program can seem like a daunting task. But it is very important. That's why we've put together this blog post - to help you easily implement a solid safety program.
1. Develop a plan of action that includes both management and employee involvement.
It's essential to develop a program that will meet the needs of everyone within your organization. However, a binder filled with procedures is not going to help your employees stay safe. That's why we recommend employee safety representatives are part of the process. This will encourage their continued support and participation.
2. Designate a health and safety representative.
As with any good plan, you will need to assign someone to take this responsibility. This individual must have authority to do the job and the ability to work and interact with employees at all levels within the company. Choose someone that has the knowledge of both the facility and general safety requirements. The designated person should be credible knowledgeable about the operations. Management must give adequate resources (time, authority, money) to develop an effective program.
3. Determine the health and safety requirements of the specific workplace and operations.
In order to succeed, you need to figure out the established requirements associated with your company's location, operations and equipment. This will help you develop a hazard assessment strategy, pinpoint hazardous areas and procedures (causing significant injury or illness) and provide the background for correction and control strategies.
To aid with this, you will need to look into:
4. Conduct a hazard assessment of the workplace
Your ultimate goal is to identify and prevent hazards. Develop an initial plan for assessing the workplace with a comprehensive safety and health survey. During the initial survey, you will want to identify any hazardous situations and all violations of laws, regulations or standards.
Effective strategies for an initial workplace survey include:
Step 5: Correct identified hazards.
Once identified, you should promptly correct all hazards. This will build credibility of your company's health and safety policy. Financial resources may be required to correct some hazards. Every reasonable effort must be made to provide adequate funding to protect the workplace safety and health of your company. If a complete correction of a hazard is delayed, interim measures may be necessary in some instances.
Step 6: Keep the workplace hazard-free.
Once hazards are corrected, ensure that the workplace remains hazard-free. Rules and procedures should be clearly stated and understandable. Although it is not always required, work rules and emergency procedures be in writing.
Once the procedures are established, it is important to develop a means for enforcing them. Enforcement is particularly important initially, when management will experience the most resistance to the new rules and procedures.
Step 7: Train Employees in Safety and Health.
We strongly recommend training employees in safety and health. Train employees about how companyâs safety and health program will benefit them and they will make the program work. Retraining is wise (we recommend annually), since health and safety are long-term commitments. Similarly, training should be required for all new employees.
Step 8: Keep the program up-to-date and effective.
At this point, most of your hard work is done. However, it's important to maintain the new, safer environment you've created. Don't forget to document all the work you've done so it can be reviewed to determine program effectiveness down the road.
By following these easy 8 steps, you are well on your way to establishing a safety program. Have questions? Give us a call, we're happy to help.
Thank you to those who stopped by our booth!

Total Violations
The OSHA violations list remains largely unchanged since 2011, with only minor differences in the order of the 10 standards.
Training is one of the first steps a company can take to avoid OSHA citations and workplace accidents. Providing effective training will reduce hazard creation and exposure, plus OSHA requires employers to train their workforce. Another important tool to avoiding OSHA and injury is conducting periodic site safety audits. This audit identifies site hazards, unsafe conditions and unsafe acts. Taking swift action to mitigate the hazard or unsafe act will lower the injury exposure and OSHA citation exposure. We will be discussing how to conduct an effective safety audit and what to do with the data once itâs collected. This topic will be discussed in our March blogs.
OSHA etools for Fall Protection
The Obama Administration has put the teeth back in OSHA's bite and even worse, many companies remain unprepared for a surprise visit from an OSHA inspector. Is your company one of them?
A visit from OSHA can be unwelcome and unsettling, but it need not be. By planning and preparing in advance, employers can minimize their discomfort over the pending inspection and obtain more control over the event. Would you know what to say and, even more importantly, what NOT to say in the event of a surprise inspection? Do you know your legal rights? Do you have a program in place for preparing for the inevitable drop-in before it happens? If so, that's great. But if you answered "no" to one or more of the above questions, Trinity Safety Group can help get you up to speed. Planning for an inspection in advance makes an inspection go more smoothly, allows you to be in control of the inspection, creates a positive impression on the inspector, and results in fewer violations. Our team of professionals will help your organization properly prepare for when OSHA comes knocking at the door.
Our comprehensive training will address a wide range of subject matter and help answer any questions you might have regarding an OSHA inspection, such as:
In theory, OSHA inspections do not need a reason to happen. Any organization can be visited at any time by an inspector who need not have any reason to show up except the fact that the workplace is covered by federal safety regulations.
If you have not had an OSHA inspection in many years (if ever), it may be tempting to be less than 100 percent rigorous about compliance with all OSHA rules. The effort to train new or transferred employees can be onerous, especially as other pressures increase in our stressed economy. But you should never assume that your employees are so skilled or knowledgeable that they dont need more training. And its dangerous to assume that employees are so well protected that they would never report a potential violation or hazardous situation to OSHA.
To avoid unnecessarily triggering an inspection, and to be prepared should an inspection occur, you need an effective compliance plan. Fortunately, Trinity Safety Group possesses all the resources you need to develop an effective compliance plan, maintain a safe workplace, and prepare successfully for an OSHA inspection.
"Verkler, Inc. has used the services of Trinity Group for the last year for on-site inspections and training. We have found them to be professional, efficient and extremely knowledgeable about safety and accident prevention thru effective training. We will continue to use their services because of the excellent results we have gotten in fewer injuries and helping us maintain a low EMR."

State of Iowa v. Antonio Sheley
Sheley was charged with robbing $850 from the Holiday Inn Downtown in September 2007. Immediately prior to trial Sheley stipulated that he committed the robbery, but denied he had a gun. This concession effectively shortened the trial by more than one day, leaving only the issue of a gun to be resolved. The prosecution's principal evidence came in the form of the hotel videotape and the hotel registration clerk's testimony. Although grainy in quality, the videotape showed Sheley at the registration desk and showed him putting his hand in his right pants pocket and motioning with his hand in a gesture that appeared to threaten he had a gun. The hotel desk clerk had had weapons training as a member of the National Guard and had served one year in Iraq. She testified that she saw what appeared to be the black handle of a pistol in the defendant's pocket. Cross-examination focused on the desk clerk's short stature, the 4-foot high desk counter between her and the defendant, and the fact the defendant's body was flush against the desk counter—seeking to prove the desk clerk could not see the defendant's pants pocket. The cross examination asked one question too many—the witness stated she not only saw what appeared to be the handle of a pistol but also saw "the hammer" of the gun. Cross examination of the police detective who reviewed the videotape was more effective, forcing him to admit he had not seen a gun and that he "guessed" the defendant had a gun on him. The defendant did not testify.
Closing arguments concluded late on Tuesday and the jury reached its verdict Wednesday morning. It found Sheley guilty of first degree robbery, a forcible felony with a mandatory 25-year sentence. The defendant must serve a minimum of seventy percent of this sentence (17.5 years) before he can be considered for parole. Sheley had gambled and lost. The State had made a plea offer whereby he would plead to second degree robbery (10 years) and a habitual offender enhancement, resulting in a 15-year sentence with a mandatory minimum of 70% (10.5 years).
State of Iowa v. Scott Anderson
Scott Anderson was charged with the unauthorized use of a credit card in the amount of $704 during the period of December 23-26, 2006. The credit card was stolen from a mailbox in the same apartment complex in which Anderson's mother resided. The card was activated by someone who called on the telephone line in Anderson's mother's apartment. Anderson resided with his brother and his brother's fiancé's family elsewhere, but he and his brother had access to his mother's apartment and the phone line was in Anderson's name. A U.S. postal inspector investigated the case and obtained a statement from Anderson on May 2, 2007, acknowledging he had used the stolen credit card to make purchases. Anderson testified that he had been hospitalized with a mental illness in April and claimed the signature on the statement did not appear to be his and, in any event, he did not understand what he had signed. Anderson's brother, his brother's fiancé, and his uncle testified as alibi witnesses, stating that Anderson was always with one of them during the holiday period because Anderson's car was inoperative at the time and he could not go anywhere unless one of them drove him. The prosecution's rebuttal included an exhibit showing Anderson's signature on a court document, which appeared to match the signature on the incriminating statement.
The case was submitted to the jury mid-afternoon on Thursday, and the jury reached a quick guilty verdict. The maximum sentence authorized by law for an aggravated misdemeanor is two years. Drake Law Professor Robert Rigg suggested that because Anderson had no prior criminal record, he believed it likely Anderson might receive probation rather than a prison term. Following the verdict, the students had an opportunity to debrief the jurors, a session that is always enlightening. The jurors advised that they did not believe the alibi witnesses and also observed there was sufficient evidence to convict Anderson even without his statement to the postal inspector.
State of Iowa v. Bobby
Joe Stouffer Stouffer was originally charged in May 2006 with involuntary manslaughter, an aggravated misdemeanor. On October 16. 2006, the charges against Stouffer were amended to second-degree murder. Police found Shane Batty dead at his home in Mitchellville. Batty, Stouffer, and other friends partied at the Batty house during the afternoon and evening. An autopsy determined Batty died as a result of a single gunshot wound to the abdomen. The police interviewed Stouffer on several occasions, and videotapes of those interviews were put into evidence. The interviews occurred before Stouffer had counsel. The videotapes showed inconsistent statements—Stouffer initially denied shooting Batty but later admitted shooting him with an antique pistol, but claimed the gun fired accidentally. Three federal prisoners who had been in jail with Stouffer testified that he had bragged about killing Batty. In a trial presided over by Judge Joel Novak, the jury convicted Stouffer of second degree murder.
Defense counsel objected to the trial venue at the Smith Law Center on Drake's campus, alleging the FYTP atmosphere would be prejudicial to her client. No evidence was submitted to support defense counsel's allegations, and, on voir dire, several jurors responded they would in no way be swayed or pressured by the presence of more than one hundred students observing the case. Judge Novak overruled the objection. Defense counsel took an interlocutory appeal to the Iowa Supreme Court and sought a stay. The Iowa Supreme Court denied the stay request. The case is currently on appeal; however, the Appellate Defender has raised no issue on appeal challenging the Trial Practicum venue at the Smith Law Center.

Gillotti v. MLC Inc.
This was a civil suit against the husband and wife owners of Loco Joe's pool hall arcade near South Ridge Mall. District Judge Scott Rosenberg presided. The plaintiffs Matt Gillotti and Kyle Tapps alleged they were beaten up at the entertainment hall and bar and that owners of the business are liable for permanent injuries sustained in the attack because, in part, the business should have had better security on the night of a Chicago Cubs baseball playoff game. The jury found Loco Joe's negligent in failing to provide a safe premises, but rejected the Dram Shop claim, finding the defendant did not sell or serve beer to the assailants knowing they were intoxicated. The jury awarded $24,531 in past medical expenses, $500 in pain and suffering, $500 in past loss of function, and $4,500 in lost earnings, for a total judgment of $30,031.
Morgan v. Hairy Mary's
The plaintiff's arm and wrist were badly broken during a heavy metal concert at a popular bar near the Drake campus. The bar contended the plaintiff was drunk, lost his balance, and broke his arm in a fall to the floor while slam dancing in the mosh pit. Plaintiff contended that he was caught by surprise in the mosh pit, and that his injuries were due to the negligence of the bar in failing to warn patrons of the start of the show and to keep the moshing safe and under control. District Judge Richard Blane presided. The jury found comparative fault with both sides equally responsible and awarded damages of $24,000, which were cut in half due to plaintiff's fault.
Reed v. Carter
Defendant rear-ended defendant in an automobile accident on Army Post Road. There was so little visible damage done, and no apparent personal injuries, that the police were not called. Thereafter, the plaintiff claimed to experience whiplash and head pain that at times was excruciating. The plaintiff has gone to the University of Missouri hospitals once every three months for an elaborate and painful treatment for her pain. The Defendant's position was similar to the All State television "swoop and squat" commercials about fraudulent claims. Defendant challenged Plaintiff's claim of whiplash, contending it was fabricated. Judge Michael Huppert admitted evidence that years earlier in a different auto accident case this Plaintiff, after obtaining a settlement, did not need to be treated again for medical injuries. The jury entered a verdict for the Defendant.
Ladjahasan v. Iowa State University
Ladjahasan was employed as a field technician by Iowa State University. He started having health problems, missing so many days of work that other employees donated their sick time to cover for him. Ladjahasan wanted to return to work, but only with limitations on lifting and climbing ladders. He claimed that Iowa State pressured him into applying for permanent disability status and then fired him when his application for disability was denied. Ladjahasan sued Iowa State for violation of the federal Rehabilitation Act based on discrimination for a perceived disability. The jury gave a verdict in favor of Iowa State.
This case, the first federal case to appear in the trial practicum, was tried by Judge William Jay Riley of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit. In a letter sent to Drake Law School following the trial, he offered this comment: "Your accomplishment in developing this trial curriculum for first year students is exceptional. I commend Drake Law School for this remarkable program."
State of Iowa v. Brandon Sayles
Brandon Sayles was charged with felony child endangerment after his two-month-old baby was blinded from shaken-baby syndrome. There were no eyewitnesses, however, and the evidence against Sayles was all circumstantial. Defense attorneys attempted to show that other adults had access to the child. District Judge Rob Blink presided. The jurors convicted Sayles. Many students were surprised by the verdict. Discussion centered on the credibility of witnesses and why the jurors found the defense arguments unpersuasive.
State of Iowa v. Clarence Willis
The defendant was charged with armed robbery. The robbery occurred at the Greyhound Bus Station in downtown Des Moines. The case centered on the reliability of cross-racial eyewitness testimony and conflicting evidence. District Judge Robert Wilson presided. Judge Wilson sustained a Batson challenge which alleged the prosecution had impermissibly exercised a peremptory challenge to strike a prospective black juror from the jury panel. A 12-person jury acquitted Willis. The juror debriefing enabled the students to understand how the jurors reached consensus after an initial 9 - 3 vote for acquittal.
Ken Downing v. City of West Des Moines
This was a Section 1983 civil case involving claims of constitutional tort and defamation. The case involved Fourth Amendment search and seizure issues, raising troubling issues as to the sweeping scope of the search of the plaintiff's home and business premises and the haphazard accounting done as to items seized. District Judge Robert Blink presided. An eight-person jury awarded Downing $10,000 in damages. Prior to Judge Blink's post-judgment ruling on court-awarded attorneys' fees, the case was settled for $40,000.
State of Iowa v. John Molloy
This was a murder trial. The prosecution alleged that after a night of partying with drugs and alcohol, the defendant and two others killed the neighborhood drug dealer. Then-District (now Iowa Court of Appeals) Judge Larry Eisenhauer presided. A 12-person jury convicted Molloy of first degree murder. The Iowa Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction.
State of Iowa v. Stephen Blumberg
This case involved a burglary charge. Blumberg was charged with breaking and entering an old apartment complex and stealing its antique ornamentation. Chief Judge Gamble presided. A 12-person jury convicted. The Iowa Court of Appeals subsequently affirmed the conviction.

To what extend do moral values differ, depending on the society or the historical time? For example can a practice such as slavery be right in one era or region and wrong in another?

I think the moral valuesare eternal and they have been defined by various cultures and scriptures. The reason, why we see them as different at different points of time, is that the controlling powers of that time interpreted them according to their convinence and vested interest.Answered by Vikram, 20 Oct '09 10:29 am

There is one word only used in this bharatha varsha by people following sanathana dharma. its the word "DHARMA". no other religion has a word analogical to this word. fundametal dharma does not change. for example a dog of treta yuga and a dog of kali yuga both wag tails seeing its master. a tiger hunts deers in any yuga. a brahmin has to do his sandhya vandanam and nitya karma daily whatever be the yuga. there are desa ( country/nation) dhramas and yuga dharmas which change. eating beef in the western countries is not wrong but in our country it is considered a grave sin ( paathakam). similarly till dwapara yuga we had the aswa-medha yaagam. in kali yuga there is no such sacrifice. there are several such differences. the bottom line is what is morality. it is nothing but common sense practiced so that no living being is unnecessarily harmed or his/her rights encroached without his/her consent. this has to be practice for any society. otherwise it would have perished long ago or would ...moreAnswered by Haalayudha Dattuni, 18 Mar '10 09:06 pm

Categories > Comics > X-Men > Phoenix Destiny
Rupture0 Reviews
The power of the Phoenix is shaken to it's core and Jean Grey must face all her old demons or the universe itself will burn to ashes in cosmic flame.
Chapter 2: Rupture
Standing over an ominous grave, a tall man with ruby red glasses glared at a heart wrenching inscription.
"Here lies Jean Grey-Summers. She will rise again."
His poise was stern and cold, as if his very soul had been sucked out and all that remained was a mere shell of a man. His name was Scott Summers, and he was standing here in the cold, gazing upon the tombstone of his dead wife, whom he cradled in her final moments.
"How many times has it been now, Scott? Three? Three times that you've stood over her grave?" said an attractive woman with blonde hair.
"Go away, Emma," said Scott sternly.
"You can't go on like this. Don't you want to live on and inherit the world?"
At that very moment, a force beyond human comprehension stepped in. Looking over this scene from a place far away, Jean Grey-Summers bore the White Crown, holding in her hands a dying universe that rested on the shoulders of one human being.
He was the man she had always been so deeply connected to. He was the man she had loved with all her heart. Yet fate had torn them apart once more. And here he was, broken and lost.
She knew there was only one way to save him. She knew she would have to make the greatest sacrifice she had ever made. But for the man she loved, it was a price she was willing to pay, no matter how much it tore at her heart.
"Live Scott...Live."
Capturing the lips of Emma Frost with his, Scott Summers gave his pre-determined answer.
"Jean? JEAN!" yelled an alarmed voice.
The limp body of Jean Grey, still bearing her White Phoenix attire, came to life in a haze of confusion as she opened her eyes to see the mysterious mutant warrior known as Slayer hovering over her.
"Hnn...what? What's going on?" she groaned, grasping her head.
"I'm not exactly sure," said Slayer anxiously, "But I think there's something wrong with your little White Hot Room."
Helping her to her feet, Jean took in the horrific sight around her. Everywhere she looked, there were massive ruptures in the light of the White Hot Room. And from these ruptures, vortexes of unimaginable force were sucking in members of the Phoenix Corps by the thousands.
The penetrating light of the nexus was flickering violently, showing signs of serious distress. Something was terribly wrong. And even the Phoenix was powerless to stop it.
"No! The nexus! It's rupturing!" gasped Jean.
"Yeah, I gathered that," said Slayer, his all seeing eye still glowing, "But how is that possible?"
"I don't know!" cried Jean, feeling the strain throughout her being, "Something must have happened to the M'krann crystal!"
"Great...just great," muttered Jack, "Any idea how to fix it?"
The fires surrounding Jean's aura were starting to intensify. Even as White Phoenix, she was deeply affected by this mysterious phenomenon. She could sense it on all levels, physically and psychically. And for all the power she had amassed as Phoenix and Jean Grey, there was nothing she could do about it.
"I...I don't know!" she gasped desperately, "Everything is falling apart! I can't...I can't...AHHHHHHHHH!"
"JEAN!" yelled Slayer, catching her before she keeled over.
Looking up at the area above him, he saw the rupture sucking in more Phoenix Corp. It caused a hurricane of fire to fill the area, sucking in everything in its wake. Soon, even the two towers began to crumble under the strain. And through his all seeing eye, Slayer saw the sheer scale of what was going on.
"Damn! This is NOT good!"
Looking down at the ailing Jean Grey, Slayer took her in his arms and powered up his magic, taking to the air.
"Hold on, Jean! We've got to get away from that thing!"
But despite her half conscious state, the power within her still burned strong.
"No! All wrong! This is all wrong!"
"Oh man. Why do I get the feeling this is gonna get worse before it gets better?"
Pushing his mystical abilities to the limits, Slayer sped as far away from the vortex as possible. Along the way, he passed other members of the Phoenix Corp who were not strong enough to get away. And one by one, they descended into the fiery whirlwind.
The light of the White Hot Room was pulsating with greater severity, as if the whole realm was crying out in pain. Slayer may have been able to see it, but he was still far from understanding it.
"Falling apart...everything is falling apart!"
"Come on, Jean! Stay with me here! Now is NOT the time to be losing it!" grunted Slayer, pushing himself to his limits.
Gritting her teeth in determination, Jean held herself together. Looking back at the vortex, she felt as though was being torn apart on every level. It was painful just trying to keep it together. Every last bearer of the Phoenix was being sucked in, but Slayer wasn't letting them go without a fight.
"Jack...there's no way," said Jean, gasping in a fit of desperation.
"Then we'll just have to make one!" said the determined mutant warrior, "Just hang in there! I'll get us out of this!"
Jack didn't know why he was so bent on helping her. Maybe it was because he had a weakness for beautiful women. But aside from that, he just had this strange feeling about her. He saw something within her when he looked her in the eye. He wasn't sure what it was, but if he was going to find out, they were going to have to get out of this mess somehow.
The light of the nexus began to fade, turning from a steady white glow to a burning red color, resembling flames on a cosmic scale. There was nowhere to run. It was all going to hell. Yet Jack refused to submit to the end.
"It's over. All hope is lost."
"Whatever you say, redhead," said Slayer, still undeterred, "But hopelessness just happens to be my specialty!"
Looking back at the vortex, Slayer's eye glowed bright red. This was not looking good.
Okay, quick analysis of the situation here. You're stuck in the nexus of all realities, there's a rift in the dimensional fabric, and it's sucking in everything in its path. The Phoenix is powerless and you're just a guy who does magic tricks. So what do you do?
Grunting in determination, Jack kept trying to outrun the vortex. Then finally, it started sucking him in, no longer able to escape its infinite pull.
"Damn! It's pulling us in!" he grunted, tapping as much energy as he could to power his way out.
"The rip is too strong. Every Phoenix...scattered through the fabric of reality...lost in the path between life and death."
"Life and death?"
Suddenly, an idea came to Jack that was nothing short of crazy. But looking back at the fiery whirlwind, he was out of time, out of options, and out of his mind.
"Oh boy, I can't believe I'm even thinking this," he muttered.
"Jack?" gasped Jean, not understanding what was going on, "What are you..."
But the mutant warrior didn't let her finish. He couldn't afford to hesitate now. It was now or never, and frankly he'd rather not end up drifting aimlessly through the gaps between reality.
"Just hold on a little longer, Jean!" he said, psyching himself up, "I'm getting us out of here! Just keep yourself together and it'll all be over soon!"
Then, much to her surprise, Slayer started flying towards the vortex. There was a look of great intensity on his face, one that only a true warrior could bear. But that didn't lift Jean's hopes as she struggled against him.
"No! What are you doing? Are you crazy?!" she exclaimed.
"Do you really gotta ask?" grunted Slayer as they drew near the rift, "Just sit tight! I know what I'm doing!"
Having just met this guy, Jean wasn't too optimistic. But she didn't have the strength to struggle anymore. She was too weak and torn.
"This is a bad idea! This is a very bad idea!" yelled Slayer, gathering what energy he had left and preparing to cast a risky spell.
They were almost at the rift. Slayer's hands were glowing brilliantly, still determined to beat this. But for Jean, all hope was lost.
This was it. All of reality was doomed. After trying to come to grips with her being for so long, this was how it would all end. Closing her eyes and bracing for the inevitable, the White Phoenix let out a cry of anguish as she felt her world falling apart all around her.
Jean Grey-Summers had never felt so much love before in her life. Everybody, from her family to her closest friends, showed her all at once how much they loved her. And from that love, the raging hatred of Dark Phoenix was replaced by the peaceful calm of White Phoenix.
Now she was standing in a white void with her soul mate, Scott Summers. She had never felt so conflicted before in her life. The power of Phoenix and Jean Grey were becoming one. And she would be leaving behind everything she held dear.
"I'm going now, Scott. I'm so scared."
"Who are you?" he asked her.
For a moment, she hesitated. But she held on through the chaos.
"Jean. Jean Grey."
"That's right. You're Jean Grey. And always will be. No matter what happens, no matter where you go or how you grow or what the cosmos tell you. Find yourself, Jean. Find all your pieces. You'll be fine. You'll remember. And you'll know what to do."
His words bore so much love. Even in this twilight hour, she could still feel so much of his love. And now that she was complete, they would finally say goodbye to each other. Scott would live on, but she would not. She was the Phoenix, now and forever.
But before she left, she wanted one last thing.
"Scott. I want to see your eyes."
Lifting up his visor, the white aura surrounding them was inundated with ruby red light. And through the blinding hue, Jean Grey faded away once and for all.
Everything was calm. The blinding chaos of the White Hot Room was no more. And yet, she was still whole. Her being was still intact.
"Jean...Jean, wake up," said a calm voice.
She was floating in a peaceful trance. There was no more pull and no more vortex. Now, all was silent around her. And hovering close to her was the mutant warrior who kept his promise.
"Jack?" she said weakly, still reeling from being so torn.
"It's okay. It's over now," he assured her, "Sorry for the bumpy ride, but I had to improvise."
Still in her White Phoenix attire, Jean opened her eyes to see the young warrior before her. She didn't know where they were. It felt like a tunnel of sorts. Her mind was so hazy. Everything had happened so fast. It was all a blur.
But she clearly remembered this man saving her. Even after she and the Phoenix Corp attacked her, he still saved her. And that brought out a maze of feelings in her chaotic being.
"You...you saved me?" she said, still disoriented.
"What else was I going to do? Leave you?" he shrugged, "Sorry, but that's not my style. Besides, I owe you one for sticking up for me back there."
His demeanor was a mystery. His prowess was undeniable. And the more she experienced his enigmatic persona, the more intrigued she became.
"But...why?" she said, reaching out and grasping his face with her hands.
"Why? Well uh..." he stammered, not knowing what she was doing.
"Jack...please. I want...I need..."
"Jean? What are you..."
What happened next was something even Slayer never could have foreseen. In her dazed state, Jean Grey crashed her lips upon his and pulled him into a passionate kiss. With her endless passion, she pulled him close, wrapping her legs around his waist and soaking up his enchanted aura.
At first, he was shocked. But as was his custom when a beautiful woman kissed him, he kissed back. Only when their lips met, his all seeing eye started glowing bright yellow and through this medium, Jean Grey got an unabated glimpse of the man behind the enigma.
A young boy came into the world, born into poverty on the streets of San Francisco. His parents were dead, he was abused constantly, and he had mysterious visions of an unknown force.
Growing up in an orphanage, alone and lost. He was a very dark boy. And after being sold into the underworld sex trade, his being was forever tainted by great sorrow.
The young boy comes of age, running away from the sex trade and living on his own. He steals, fights, and does whatever he can to stay alive. Still haunted by visions, he is without hope. Yet his soul still burns with a determined flame like no other.
He meets a beautiful young girl with blonde hair named Layla, who brightens his world in a way no other force ever has. He falls in love with her and she falls in love with him. And for once, their world is a happy one.
Layla is taken away from him in a heinous act that forever shatters his heart.
"LAYLA! LAYLA NO!" yelled a young, desperate teenage boy as the love of his life was taken away from him in an act of unyielding cruelty.
Her body was naked, bloodied, and bruised. The dark, imposing men of a local street lord in San Francisco named Felix had shown no mercy. They crossed their path, so they paid the price.
They brutalized a beautiful young girl. They were like zombies, devoid of all emotion. They held him and made him watch while they raped her. Tears of anguish were streaming down his face. And with one final stroke, the only light of his life was snuffed forever.
"Jack..." she cried weakly with one final gasp.
BANG! And with a single gunshot to the heart, her innocent life was taken away.
In his anguish, Jack's latent mutant powers manifest. And with unabated rage, he butchers the monsters who took Layla from him. They all scream in pain, but he didn't care. Energized by radiant energy, he eviscerated their bodies with bolts of raw power and ripped into their flesh with his bear hands.
And when all was said and done, he stood over the unmoving corpse of Layla covered in blood, crying for his lost love.
"Layla...please...don't leave me. Layla...LAYLA!"
His heart shattered, Jack continues his fight for survival. He is dark, yet strong with his new power. But he is without hope. He has nothing to live for.
Already driven half mad by the visions that had haunted him since birth, Jack lived recklessly until the day his luck finally ran out.
In a hail of gunfire from the same gang that killed Layla, Jack Robinson died, falling into the icy waters of the San Francisco Bay. And with a heavy heart, he accepts death.
A mysterious being comes to him, tells him that he has the legacy of a warrior, and must make a choice. Either he accepts this power or he keeps running, dooming a world that had hurt him so much to the forces of darkness.
And with the heart of a warrior, Jack accepts and becomes Slayer, the ultimate warrior.
Out of the cold waters of the San Francisco Bay, Jack Robinson arises from the dead, ready to take on the forces of darkness.
Descending upon the dark persona known only as Felix, Jack Robinson shows no mercy as he kills, maims, and eviscerates all those who stand in his path. And with the skill and drive of a proud warrior, he falls before his power.
Layla is thus avenged, yet his heart is still empty and his soul still tormented. Only now, he has something to keep him going...honor.
And at the whim of his sword, dark forces tremble with fright, destroyed in the never-ending battle between darkness and light. He lives in the shadows, drowning his sorrows with booze and hookers. But in his fight, Slayer shows no mercy, killing and destroying those that dare to upset the balance.
Soaked with the blood of those caught in the crossfire of his difficult life, he is tormented and twisted, yet strong and noble. And he is Jack Robinson...a mutant, a fighter, and a warrior.
As the disturbing images of Jack Robinson's life bombarded Jean's mind, she gasped with shock at the sheer horror of his world. And as the mutant warrior relived those twisted memories, he pushed away and let out a pained yell.
Pulling away from the beautiful redhead, Jack clutched his head in pain as the screams of Layla echoed through his mind.
For Jean, it was a sobering splash of cold water that pulled her together. Tears were streaming down her face as she recalled those images. They were so horrific and this man had to live with it every waking hour. It made him less of an enigma, yet no less mysterious.
"Jack," she said, covering her mouth in horror, "I...I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to..."
"Will you just drop it!" he spat, a look of anger on his face.
Taking some deep breaths, Slayer pulled himself together. Jean couldn't have known his mind would have been that unpleasant. But at least now she knew he wasn't a threat.
Yet still, he kicked himself for going off like this.
"I'm sorry," he told her calmly.
"No, Jack. I..." she stammered, not knowing what else to say.
There was an awkward silence between them. Here they were in a tunnel-like void, unable to make any headway for this grave situation. The White Hot Room was falling apart and they couldn't even get along enough to do something about it.
Jean's look sank as her gaze diverted from his, feeling very strange with herself after what she had just done.
"Sorry about the kiss," she said awkwardly.
Jack managed to lighten up. As sudden as it had been, kissing a beautiful woman was nothing to complain about. He knew it didn't mean anything, but it certainly had an effect on him.
'I am going to need SO many hookers after this shit,' he thought to himself.
But setting such thoughts aside, Jack pulled himself together despite the circumstances.
"Forget about it," sighed Jack, "You were confused. I understand."
"I know! This shouldn't be happening!" she cried in a fit of desperation, "It's all wrong...everything is so wrong."
Knowing all too well how it felt to lose hope, Jack placed his hands on her shoulders in a show of comfort. It helped ease her tension, but she was still so conflicted.
"If it makes you feel any better, I won't tell your husband," he said, managing a grin.
As lame as that comment was, Jean actually laughed.
"I'd appreciate that," she choked out, "But where are we? And why do I feel like I've been here before?"
"Of course you've been here before, Jean," said Slayer, "You've died like what? Three times?"
Looking around the darkened tunnel, it began to dawn on her. She had been down this path before. She knew where it led. And as the Phoenix, she had gone both ways.
"I know it's not the first place I'd choose to escape to, but we had to end up somewhere," explained Jack, "As soon as we hit the event horizon of the vortex, I cast a transport spell that took us to this tunnel instead of scattering us through the dimensional rift. It's not pretty, but it beats the hell out of oblivion."
"I'll have to agree with you there," said Jean, taking in the feeling of this familiar place, "But how did this happen? Where did that rift come from?"
"I wish I knew," sighed Jack, "But as you saw in my head, I'm just a guy. You're the one with the White Crown here."
Clutching her head in exasperation, Jean still felt as though she was falling apart. The damage to the White Hot Room had hurt her the most. She was so deeply connected to the nexus that the rift should have torn her forever. But somehow, she was still intact.
"I don't know. I just don't know," she said, shaking her head in defeat, "I shouldn't even be here! I belong in the White Hot Room! So why is this happening? What does it all mean?"
This was all new to Jack. He could take down malevolent entities, but he didn't know the first thing about balancing fundamental forces in the universe. That was just way out of his league.
But like it or not, he was involved now. And as a warrior, it was up to him to see this through.
"Now what do we do?" she said, sounding at a loss, "Where do we go from here?"
Jack wasn't very good at moments like this. Living on the streets for most of his life hadn't done much for his social skills. However, he did know a thing or two about getting out of a bind. And as he contemplated their situation, an idea came to mind that could help them both.
"Sorry, Jean. But I don't know either. However...I do know someone who may point us in the right direction."
That got Jean's attention as she looked back at the mutant warrior with new intrigue.
"You do?" she said hopefully.
"Yes. And I can help," he said with a determined tone, "I know we just met, but as long as I'm involved in this mess, I might as well see it through. Besides, I never was one to run away from a good challenge."
Jean couldn't help but smile at his words. Despite his tortured soul, he was still a man of honor. And that was something she deeply admired.
"Look, you don't know me. You're a cosmic entity and I'm a street kid from San Francisco. But if we're going to be in this together, we're going to have to trust each other. So how about it?"
Holding out his hand, Jean contemplated her situation. She had lived, died, and been reborn more times than any being ought to. And with the White Hot Room in chaos, she was at the end of her rope.
But with so much riding on her weary shoulders, she had to remain strong. She didn't know what was going on, but she was going to do what it took to fix it. However, she couldn't do it on her own. And as she looked into Jack's penetrating gaze, she knew there was someone there worth having faith in.
"Okay," she said, taking his hand, "I trust you."
"Thank you," he said with a smile, "I promise on my honor, your trust is in good hands."
Smiling back at the mysterious man who had come into her world so suddenly, Jean knew she was in for a hell of a ride. And for now, all she could do is hold on and hope that wherever this led her, she could regain the balance she so desperately sought.
"Now come on," said Jack as they floated through the tunnel, "It's high time we get some answers."

Gibson to Film 'Passion' Sequel
CT Movies exclusive: 'Resurrection of The Christ' due Easter 2010
CT Movies has learned that Mel Gibson is planning a sequel to The Passion of The Christ, to begin filming in May in southern Italy.
The film, titled The Resurrection of The Christ, is scheduled to release around Easter of 2010. Though the script has not yet been finalized, a source close to Gibson told us that the film will pick up where The Passion left off - with Christ in the tomb, rising from the dead. The storyline will include Christ's appearance to his disciples and many others, and carry through to the Ascension.
James Caviezel, who played Jesus in The Passion, is not available to resurrect the role, the source told CT Movies. When asked who was being considered for the part, the source said that Mickey Rourke, recently nominated for an Oscar in The Wrestler, was on the short list. He also said that Russell Crowe, Ewan McGregor, and "an unknown actor from Australia" were being considered.
The source told CT that Gibson wanted to accomplish 10 things in the new film:
A mazing miracles
P assionate acting
R esurrection power
I nspirational images
L ove of the Lord
F ollowing Jesus
O ne way to Heaven
O mniscience of God
L asting impressions
S alvation from sin
The source also told CT Movies that although the mainstream media might ridicule Gibson for this decision, the director was clinging to his favorite Scripture passage about being "fools for Christ" (1 Cor. 4:10).
CT Movies will continue to monitor the story, and report any new developments should they arise.
I was so moved by The Passion of The Christ. I hope and pray that Mel does as good a job with this one as he did with the first. This will make a wonderful Easter movie every year!
Sounds great, but I'm disappointed that Jim Caviezel won't be in it. I can't imagine anyone else as Jesus.
Rourke? As Jesus? Boy, I don't see it. Maybe he could have done this role in the original, but post-resurrection? Hmmm. I would have thought more of a Ethan Hawke type. He doesn't seem to be busy anymore. Well, if nothing else, I'm sure glad Gibson didn't choose Ewan McGregor though. Jesus wasn't Scottish!
As it happens, Mickey Rourke is going to star in a film called Passion Plays ... though there is no word yet on what, exactly, the movie will be about.
ha ha ha... maybe they should make it into a trilogy... The Passion: Judgment Day... I love April Fools
I am very encouraged by this announcement. But I am concerned about the nature of the acrostic. Is it a spoof?
Too bad this is an April Fool's Joke... :( I'd love to see a sequel.
Speaking of, is Tim LaHaye and Lionel Chetwynd's movie about the Resurrection-Ascenscion coming out anytime soon? I haven't heard much about it and the several release dates have come and gone, so it is a wash? If it is, then maybe Mel can have his sequel for real. ;-)

Air Pollution Control
LouisvilleKY.gov Links
STAR Regulation 5.30 required APCD to develop a proposed "Report" assess the risk to human health and welfare from minor, area, mobile and non-road mobile sources of toxic emission and a "Plan of Action" to reduce risk from these toxic emissions throughout the community. The regulation also required APCD to allow for "active and meaningful stakeholder involvement in the development of, and review and comment on, the Report and Plan of Action."
To comply with Regulation 5.30, Mayor Jerry Abramson created a formal stakeholder group known as the STAR 5.30 Stakeholder Group. APCD invited industry and academic experts, planners, health and environmental advocates, health professionals, business representatives, and citizens to be members of group.
The STAR 5.30 Stakeholder Group began meeting in July 2006. They reviewed the overarching STAR Program, background information on toxics and other air quality issues. In November 2006, committees were formed to review several key issues and develop recommendations to reduce the risk from toxic emissions in Louisville Metro.
The Health/Risk Committee developed risk goals, which make the STAR Program the first of its kind in the country. The Report and Plan of Action Committee (RAPA) created the structure of the report and oversaw writing by APCD staff and Stakeholders. Finally, the Area and Minor Source Committee and the Mobile and Non-Road Mobile Source Committee identified sources of concern, estimated current risk levels and reviewed reasonable control options. The source committees then developed emission and exposure reduction strategies.
In July 2007, almost a year to the day from the start of the process, the STAR 5.30 Stakeholder Group agreed on goals and strategies to reduce risk from toxic emissions in our community. The Stakeholders identified several major sources of concern including dry cleaners, waste oil furnaces and diesel engines. The STAR Regulation 5.30 Stakeholder Group Report and Plan of Action is the result of the year-long collaborative effort of the members of the STAR 5.30 Stakeholder Group.The 35 recommendations to the Air Pollution Control Board, included in Section 14, suggest strategies to reduce risk from all source sectors through a variety of implementation methods. Several traditional methods were suggested (e.g. regulation) along with voluntary risk reduction techniques, including increased education, partnership building and additional stakeholder groups.
The STAR Regulation 5.30 Stakeholder Group began its work in July 2006 and reached consensus on the Report and Plan of Action at its last meeting in August 2007. See the complete list of meetings, including agendas and documents.
The STAR Regulation 5.30 Stakeholder Group was co-chaired by Barbara Sexton Smith of the Air Pollution Control Board and Karen Scott of the Regional Airport Authority. See the complete list of STAR Regulation 5.30 Stakeholder Group members and the list of committee members.

TEAMS: Pittsburgh Steelers
The return of wide receiver Plaxico Burress to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Tuesday has several in the fan base worried if he was worth the risk of bringing back. I am here to say that he is because the risk is very low. Burress received a one-year deal worth $925,000 with no signing bonus that is not guaranteed. Consider him a rental right now and on loan on a week-to-week basis. If he should slip up either on or off the field he can be jettisoned out of town just as quick as he arrived without any salary cap backlash.

I thought I had a good chance of picking up this set under $5k. Remember that this is a mostly raw set from an auction house run by an oldtime dealer which usually overgrades a touch.

1954 Topps Set

I will say the this set is getting more and more popular. Just a few years ago, the PSA 7 commons would sell for under $50, but now they often go for over $100.
I guess it helps that some of the key cards are graded 8 and 7.5, but they are SGC. Personally, I still like SGC, but many people will want to get the cards switched into PSA holders.
For $13000+, I would expect the set to be graded already! I have had cards from this set returned by PSA due to trimming and coloring, so it's easy to get ripped off on raw singles.
When I see the prices the auction houses get, I wonder if the bidders ever look on eBay, or if price simply isn't a consideration for them?
Personally, I think this price is much too high for this set in ungraded condition, but as long as someone is bidding, it must seem fair to them.

Wow. I agree with what Earl said.
It seems pretty clear that the best way to sell vintage hockey sets is through the auction houses - from what I've seen over the last year they command premium prices over buying one by one on eBay.

Totally agree with the above comments with regards to this set. After completing most of my 1960's sets, I decided to collect the 1954 Topps set last year in PSA 8 holders. After winnig a few overpriced auctions I decided to switch to 1954 Parkhurst.
I really like the raw look the parkies have for this year. Also like the card designs of 1960/61 parkhurst.

I would agree that this expansion is dull at best. I really doesn't feel like I've accomplished much of anything and if it weren't for enjoying the conversations with the people of my guild I would have quit this game a couple months into wrath. I think that's a display of failure on the developers part when my only interest in staying with the game comes from people who had nothing to do with the development of the game.

In a case of really strange bedfellows, Lois Reitzes has taped a bunch of promos for Atlanta-based Adult Swim, which began airing this week.
Yes, the woman known for her silky voice and classical music knowledge on 90.1/WABE-FM has become the face (and silky voice) on a network that airs frequently juvenile, sometimes raunchy and seldom high-brow fare such as "The Family Guy," "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" and "Robot Chicken."
Check them out here. It's all done in obvious, dead-on irony. Reitzes, dressed in a black blouse, pearl earrings and a broach necklace, is a talking head in front of a black background. They show her both in quarter side view and frontal. She makes grandiose pronouncements about the network, tongue firmly in cheek.
"You're watching Adult Swim, where all your television fantasies come true," she intones in one version while gentle classical music plays in the background.
"One simply knows when something is simply right. Adult Swim," she says in another.
I haven't been able to reach Reitzes, who is out of town, but Tim DeClaire, the Adult Swim spokesman, said it was the brainchild of promo writer/producer Matt Hutchinson, a fan of Reitzes for many years.
"She was just delighted to do them," WABE spokeswoman Nancy Hoddinott said. (Hoddinott used to work at Turner.)
Hutchinson said he was nervous approaching Reitzes but was pleasantly pleased when she said yes.
Her voice, to him is "rich, buttery and very sophisticated." Meeting her in person was "surreal," he added.
He said the set up was reminiscent of those old family photographs of yore. Hutchinson even chose the music to fit the mood. "I'm really into the harpsichord," he said. "It has a baroque elegance to it."
Hutchinson said there was some initial concern this would be too much of an inside Atlanta joke but they figured the entire concept was valid. "Her voice," Hutchinson said, "transcends region."
Reitzes joined WABE in 1979 and is now the the Director of Arts and Cultural Programming in 2007. She can be heard from 9 a.m. to noon on the station.

Science outreach in Seattle: Ideas to get you started
Considering science outreach? It's a great way to hone communication skills while sharing science and the excitement of discovery with others. Luckily, at UW and in Seattle, there are lots of ways we can get involved—but where to start?
Nancy Hutchison, director of the Science Education Partnership at the Hutch, has kindly helped us put together a list of options for doing science outreach in the Seattle area. Check them out—we're pretty sure there's something that will fit your interests and your schedule.
If you know of other great outreach opportunities, please let us know! Add comments below or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Gerard and Frankie have a day out.
We talked more and then made a decision to go to Starbucks, maybe check out Forbidden Planet, get some DVD's and come back the room. I was standing next to the door putting my coat on while Frankie waited by the door, fiddling with his cuffs in a manner likewise to an impatient six year old. I grinned to myself and pulled on gloves, walking out the door into the empty hallway. Frankie shut the door behind me and we both walked briskly to the elevator. The cold hit me the minute I walked out of the elevator. It wasn't snowing just yet, but it was certainly bitey. I wrapped my arms around myself and smiled as Frankie pulled on his old Misfits gloves. He finished, and dropped his arms by his sides as we crossed the busy streets. I ignored the strong impulse to grab one and squeeze it tight… No Gerard, this is your day. Prove to Frankie you're a good friend, don't freak him out. I thought to myself as we approached the Starbucks, and walked inside. "Ah thank fuck!" Frankie said, inhaling deeply. I could relate. Whatever was going down, walking into a café and breathing in the warmth, the sweetness and strength of coffee beans, chocolate, bagels and all sorts of caffeine filled goodies to get the heart racing. We shared a smile and he motioned for me to sit. In a few minutes he returned with two lattes with "Iero" scrawled on the side. "I put your sugar in already." Frankie said as I started to stand up. I sat back town and sipped the coffee, looking forward to the warmth I knew would possess me when I did. What I didn't expect was watery, bitter, weak liquid to run down my throat leaving me just as empty as before. I wrinkled my nose. "Is your coffee bad?" I poked my tongue out in distaste, as he reached for it and took a sip. "It tastes fine" He said, shrugging. I took his and sipped, and it was exactly the same. Frankie smiled slightly at my reaction. "I guess maybe it's just one of those days…" I said. "Haha I guess. Well, should we go on?" I nodded as we stood up and left the store, back into the blistering cold. I took one last inhale of the coffee shop. Why did it smell better than it tasted? Frankie sipped his as we walked along the crowded streets, towards Forbidden Planet. However, when we got there, it was shut. "Aww, fuck." I said. I hadn't been to a comic store in ages. Frankie shrugged again and as we turned around to walk to the nearest Blockbuster. And that's when it hit me. It hit me like a sack of fucking bricks. It was all fine until I got the craving. The craving for the liquid sliding down my throat, for the burn afterwards. The craving for the acidic taste and crunch of the pills. The craving for the small pinch that would have me going in seconds. I shook my head and swallowed. I thought I'd be fine. I had to be, even if just for today. I looked at Frank, who hadn't noticed anything, and smiled. He smiled back and then pointed to something. Oh, the store. It was right across the street. We walked across, me completely oblivious to traffic. Millions of thoughts flew through my head. Fuck, I want a beer. Gosh, Frankie looks cute today, doesn't he? WATCH OUT, TAXI! Want some fucking Xanax, don't you, you little bitch. Jesus, Fuckface, stop staring. He hates you enough. These thoughts were broken by his voice. "So, shall we get Revenge of The Nerds? I haven't seen it in ages, and yeah." I nodded "Yeah, cool. I'll go out and get a smoke, yeah?" Frankie nodded suspiciously. "Well, I'll pick then. You get one. Any preferences?" I put my fingers to my temples, just wanting to leave, and said "Er yeah get me… I dunno, surprise me." The store was swimming around, I couldn't see straight. I rushed out and to a bottle shop I noticed on the way. I picked up a bottle of tequila with shaking hands and paid nervously, looking around. Once I'd got it I walked around the corner with it, unscrewing the lid and lifting it to my lips. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a few dusty pills. They'd have to do. I pushed them through my lips and swallowed, along with the alcohol. I instantly felt better. Calmer. I smiled, sipped again, dropped the bottle on the ground, and walked away when it smashed. I made my way back to the store, where Frank was just paying, and politely saying no when the cashier asked if he was a member. "Hey man, you alright? You looked pretty fucked up before…" He said when he saw me, trying to disguise his obvious concern with casualness. "I'm ok Frankie." I said. He smiled warmly and grabbed the bag of DVDs, and we walked back to our hotel, chatting happily, him seeming not to notice my sudden energy boost. When we got back we room serviced for tasty snacks, and positioned ourselves on the couch under blankets, with the remotes. The snacks arrived just as Frankie pressed play on the menu of the movie he chose for me- It. I thanked the attendant and sat down next to him as the movie started. We dug into the ice cream, chips and lollies, and got right into the movie. I left 3 times, disappearing to the bathroom where I had a small bottle of Bacardi hidden to swig deeply. I felt guilty as fuck but I figured it was what I needed to be how Frankie wanted me. Confident, charming, charismatic Gerard Way. Not pathetic, depressed, quiet, stuttering imbecile Gerard Way. I took another pill while Frankie was going to the bathroom, and as the last move rolled by along with 3am, I was a little bit tipsy. Frankie came back and said softly "Well, we have no more movies Gee. What do you wanna do?" I shrugged as Frankie moved closer and whispered "I'm not tired at all…."
Hey guisee.
So is anyone actually reading this?
Teehee. R&R please.

Growth-Rate Heterogeneity and the Covariance Structure of Life-Cycle Earnings
AbstractUsing U.S. panel data on adult males, the author compares the 'profile heterogeneity model' of earnings dynamics, in which the earnings-experience profile varies across individuals, to a competing model in which earnings 'has a unit root.' The latter specification enjoys increasing popularity among researchers. The author's analysis questions this favor, suggesting the profile heterogeneity model provides a more consistent representation of the data. He also provides new estimates of the variation in earnings growth rates. Previous evidence is from relatively unrepresentative samples. Individuals one standard deviation above the mean enjoy a 20-30 percent earnings advantage in just ten years. Copyright 1997 by University of Chicago Press.

"Oh My God, how/why do I have HER in my life?"
"She's utterly beautiful…she's intelligent, kind, cynical, naive, independent, supportive, fragile, steely, unforgiving, receptive, loyal, compassionate, naïve, devoted, lighthearted, sarcastic, considerate, , ,"
This is what I think when I look at her
—minus the lust
I don't regard my daughter as an extension of myself
She is a whole woman
I don't get to claim her as a part of me
I don't get to take credit for the creature that she IS.
And I am astoundingly LUCKY to have her in my life
This I know
This I know
Please do not pass judgment regarding my concern for her
I am swallowed whole by WHO she is
Just like you
No less
