tears don't drown your sorrowlost one,tears don't drown your sorrow5 years ago in Flash Fiction & Vignettes More Like This
Why do you always seem so sad? Your eyes are deep cerulean swirls of the sea, calm on the surface but fatal underneath with endless anfractuosities. Crestfallen rivers find their way down your cheeks and fall like raindrops on your cold hands.
If you were a song you would be the most broken and desolate winter nocturne in solo. You would be the beautiful heartbreaking tune of the violinist in the park, leaning down to close his old case full of coins.
You said you could play the piano for hours, from sunrise to sunset and into the quiescent night, but I know your slender fingers always remain the same temperature---below zero. And sometimes, your heartbeat is so silent and your eyes so icy blue I could almost see the snowflakes waltzing in them, an endless snowstorm. What happened to your passion?

You Can't Go BackYou can't go back only aheadYou Can't Go Back6 years ago in General Fiction More Like This
Bring back the living from the dead
Unbreak a heart or uncry tears
Take back all of the crazy fears
Uncut all of the long beautiful hair
Or the reasons you didn't share
Untext the words to all your friends
Undo the damage in the end
Unbreak the glass on the floor
Unpunch the hole in the door
You can't unslap the face of your enemy
Or unscrape the skin from your knee
You can't unbreak a broken heart
When your whole world is torn apart
You can't put the horse behind the cart
That wouldn't be very smart
You can only go forward and not go back
So tell me what you think about that

It is a painful thing

Love is what keeps us together
Or what tears us apart
Or simply is just there
Part of our lives
What we think about
Before we go to bed
What we dream about
When we are asleep
What consumes us
When we are alone
Or when we are together
Good or bad
Happy or sad
Dreams or reality

It is love
You're Still YouYou're Still You5 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
To me you are still you
Even though you are blue
That doesn't stop me from loving you
Or the love that others give too
I hate the disease called depression
It has a lot of modifications
Based on all kinds of situations
Could be old or new creations
Sure they give you drugs to numb the pain
When you start feeling you take them again
Your mind never really knows when
Or where it has really been
To me you have not changed at all
I stare at the same four walls
I field all of the phone calls
I feel like a rubber ball
Its you and me kid against the world
At you a task has been hurled
Around it your mind has curled
Its me and you, my little girl
People dont know what to say
It seems they expect a miracle everyday
We let our pride get in the way
Its a game we hate to play
You are still the same lovely you
I hate it when you are blue
Your friends just want you back
Treating you different is what they lack

I called your name, but you weren't there
I wish so much that I didn't care
I wanted to talk to you today
I had a lot of things to say
I loved our talks that used to last forever
I loved the times when we were together
I loved the stories that you used to tell
How you closed your eyes and remembered them well
Stories of when you were young
Back when your life had just begun
Of all the people you had met along the way
No one ever had a bad word to say
You dug deep back into your memories
When I was young and sat on your knee
All the homemade stuff you used to make
It makes me wish that I knew how to bake
I will tell my children all about you, too
I'm so sorry that they never had the chance to meet you
Thank you Grandma, for the stories of your youth
I will treasure them my whole life through

It broke my heart when they called code blue
Doctors come running down the hall
They barely knew him at all
His family was visiting from far away
They were here when he went Home that day
A poor soul only 74 years of age
Just becomes the turning of a page
His wife, sister and daughter in the hall crying
The doctors and nurses in his room trying
He became unresponsive and they couldn't bring him back
A pulse and a heartbeat was what they lacked
I saw the familiar face of his daughter and wife
So full of hope hanging on to his life
He was doing okay this morning
It just came on without any warning
I wish I knew the man in Room 802
I wanted to tell him God Bless You

Definition Of My TearsAnd my tears are not just some transparent, warm liquid that fall from my eyes. They mean so much more then that.Definition Of My Tears5 years ago in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
They speak, they burn and they plead when my tongue is tangled in pain or resentment and can not twist itself into comprehendable words.
They often save me from blurting something I may regret or save me embarassment before I can think clearly. Does that not count for anything according to you?
What do your tears do? or do you not spew them when we chastise and curse each other. Do you not have any blame?
I weep to be soft , so when your words hit, they sting, and I learn and grow.
They fall into a cup. My cup of wisdom, that I drink from and take in in hopes to learn and better myself.
I am always thirsty.

For your amusement.

Yet my silence remains.
Fear of your anger kept me quiet all these years
Among the ranks suffering unseen,
Invisible to the ones who do not bear our affliction.
But then into my darkness, another came,
My savior,
Who alone gave me reason for life
And kept me sane through my agony
In this world, where once I stood
Within Death's grasp in my pain and depression.
But now, in my misery, in your arms is my comfort.
In you I find my hope.
In you, my light,
My Angel.

With amorphous regret in my mind and genesis in my notebook I turn the page and there is the hateful etching of your name a hundred times over and over until its engraved on my wrists and under my eyelids, those crimson marks dispersing into atoms when I close my eyes, there is the slight tremble of the summer leaves and the south birds migration, there are the salmons leaping in ocean's tears and mountain's streams and there are cars whizzing by the empty voids between our words and worlds.
To you, words exist in worlds
And to me worlds live in the existence of words
But you'll only frown and turn away, and accuse me of being philosophical and boring.
Because maybe that's what I am, a cluster of clashing words,
Clashing worlds when I shut my eyes
And clashing sounds like soap water when I just l i s t e n .

The center roof remains .. but much of the "theater in the round" stage sets slowly made a disappearing act.
They probably figure .. until something serious gets greenlit .. might as well make use of the area with these "placeholder" ideas.
This could be a cool poll expansion vs land personally I think an expansion would be better.
Armchair Imagineering!:
The Grand Cinema Journey? (Name ideas welcome)
Concept Map! (Thread to follow)
Grizzly Peak Mining District
I say forget adding another land.Just expand Frontierland with Western River Expedition and Geyser Mt. in one E ticket ride.Plus Western themed shops,restaraunt maybe a Pochantas dark ride would be great.Then give Tommorowland the upgrade it needs with a Tron E ticket,Another E Ticket in Pizza Port,New 4D Wall E show for Magic Eye,and a return of an updated Peoplemover.Finish things out with a Fantasyland Dark Ride in the old motor boat lagoon area.If Disneyland did this for the 60th anniversary in 2015 that would be great.
MiceAge.com - A different look at Disney...
Still looking for his first mention of it.
How awesome that would be to see a volcano as you drive into the M&F parking!
Western River Expedition / Geyser Mountain / Discovery Bay type area added north and west of Frontierland. New mini-land based on London in northern Fantasyland (shaded blue). New oceanic land from sub lagoon north to small world (shaded aqua). New Tomorrowland (not shown).
BTW Mr. Hatbox ... while Al did mention Frontierland/Tomorrowland expansion 3 times now in his columns of the last 9-12 months ... what you get with "Mathmagicland" and "E Ticket to Ride" reads .. pretty much sums everything up, anyway. The third item I'm looking for .. just basically restates what he's mentioned in those 2 articles.
What all three articles seem to imply though .. is that "movement" is happening behind closed doors in WDI.
These are two rides that have had extensive development in WDI .. as they both came SO CLOSE to being a reality ... and we have seen how imagineering re-uses ideas and concepts to be reinvented into new show ideas.
Perfect case scenario - the Hyperion and Nautilus appearing in Discovery Bay in DLP.
While Tower of Terror replaced the Geyser Mountain idea.... if they took other elements from Gysr. Mtn. .. and reapplied it in a way you are implying ... could be a way to bring a thrill element to Frontierland .. while at the same time .. bring in the amazing show ideas that came out WRE.
I just don't want to see just one ride come out of that 10+ acres of land. It would be a waste.
If Discovery Bay though contained 2 large scale E Tickets PLUS other stuff ... I have big hopes more would be on those drawing boards in Glendale!
Trips coming up:
May 22-26th
July 13th-18th
November 19th-25th

I'm both amused and creeped out by Edwin Vasquez's Kickstarter campaign for The Werewolf of NYC, his 32-page comic (the first issue in a planned miniseries) about the aforementioned lycanthrope terrorizing the streets of Hell's Kitchen. I'm intrigued by the art and premise — "Outcast Albert Shaw (Werewolf) violently lashes out while wandering the streets, taking drastic measures to bring meaning to his life" — but it's the video that gets me.
So many of these Kickstarter projects feature the creators staring unblinking into the camera as they talk aimlessly about their plans. But not Vasquez; he dons a frightening werewolf mask and shows off his moves to some funky '50s tune (I think he works in a nod to "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah"). And then he breaks in with the creepy distorted voice to explain the details of the campaign. But really what Kickstarter needs is more werewolf dancing …
With eight days to go, Vasquez is $1,860 toward his $3,000 goal. Pledge incentives include stickers, buttons, an exclusive T-shirt, a silkscreen accordion book and original art.

Review About The Human Touch HT 7120 Massage Chair Recliner Human Touch has a wide variety of massage chairs for virtually any need and budget. This review will focus on the HT-7120 massage recliner by Human Touch. This recliner is in the $2,000 to $3,000 price level. This review is in 5 main parts which include warranty coverage and customer service, comfort and ergonomics, ease of use, key features and massage therapy. Each of these areas can earn up to 20 points each. An overall rating is given by summing up the areas for a total possible rating of 100. Let us see how the HT 7120 rates in this review. Warranty Coverage and Customer Service: Warranty is at the company level, but nonetheless, warranties vary significantly with massage chairs. You want to make sure you have sufficient long term protection for this key investment. The HT 7120 warranty coverage is as follows: structure is covered 3 years, parts are covered 1 year and labor is covered 90 days. Human Touch also covers shipping expenses for parts for the first 90 days. The warranty coverage is on the low end for the industry and this price level. Customer service is provided by Human Touch and is effective. The HT 7120 earns a 12 in warranty and customer service. Comfort and Ergonomics: Ergonomics is the science of designing products to fit your body and its associated movements. This is particularly important with massage chairs where you need to relax. The HT 7120 has a good ergonomic design and construction. It fits the body well and the adjustments are well positioned. Interestingly, you can adjust the width of the leg ottoman but it cannot be extended. We give this massage recliner an 18 for comfort and ergonomics. Ease of Use: We are always concerned how the controls of the massage chairs are going to be with so many new features being added to these chairs. Regardless, the controls need to simple and easy to use for the users of the recliner. Human Touch has come out with a very well designed remote for the HT 7120 with a slim design. It has control buttons on two sides of the remote which is unique. The remote goes into a pocket on the chair, so there is not remote stand. The leg ottoman is flipped manually and takes some coordination. We give it a 19 in this category. Key Features: The interesting features in the HT-7120 are the compression massage and the channel width adjustment in the leg ottoman. The compression massage is based on sports massage therapy. It is a combination of stroking massage and a rocking motion. The stroking massage helps to elongate muscles and also applies firm pressure for deep tissue relief. The rocking motion helps to loosen the spinal joints and relieve pressure. The channel width is adjustable in the leg ottoman. This is a nice feature allowing for the pressure to be adjusted to better accommodate your calves and feet. We give this recliner an 18 for key features. Massage Therapy: You get a virtual arsenal of massage therapies with the HT-7120 recliner. Select from 3 pre-set programs, 5 manual massage techniques and 3 height adjustments for the back. The 3 pre-set programs include sore muscle relief, energy rejuvenate and auto-demo. The 5 manual massage techniques include rolling, kneading, compression, percussion and vibration. The height adjustment enables you to set where you want the massage on your back. Additionally, you can stretch your lower body, or add heat to your lumbar area as well as massage your feet and calves. This recliner gets a 19 in this category. The overall rating we give the HT 7120 is an 86 points out of 100. We like the contemporary design of this classic massage chair recliner. The massage therapies are thorough and invigorating. We are concerned with the light warranty with this recliner. The HT 7120 comes with some advanced features and has an easy to use remote. If you are shopping for a mid range model, then the HT 7120 is a massage chair recliner worthy of your attention. About the Author Learn everything about this futuristic massage chair recliner.

- $349 for six lipo laser treatments for one area ($1,800 value)
- $199 for three lipo laser treatments for one area ($900 value)
Noninvasive lipo laser treatments target fat deposits on the arms, chin, neck, knees, back, thighs, abdomen, love handles, or buttocks. During the procedure, a licensed professional treats these problem areas with a laser, which works by opening fat cells to drain their contents. All of this is performed without any incisions and relies on the body's natural metabolic pathways to process the contents of the fat cells.
Nozawa Intl
The specialists at Nozawa Intl beautify faces and bodies with an extensive menu of traditional and high-tech treatments. Classic facials address concerns spanning from acne and rosacea to wrinkles and grins that won't wipe off, whereas radio frequency and cavitation may be used to zap lax skin or troublesome deposits of fat. Eyelash perms and eyelash extensions make peepers pop without weighing lids down with loads of mascara, and permanent makeup enhances features with indelible pigments.
The Gist
What some people are buzzing about:
"Wonderful Experience. Stephanie is a professional; I felt comfortable throughout my lazer treatment. Highly recommend. "

Off the Beaten Path Places in China
I have visited China many times. Beside the many beautiful and famous places like Beijing, Xi'an or Shanghai there are many Off the Beaten Path Places in China, which have not yet been discovered by most tourists. Many people, even expirienced travells, are reluctant to leave the beaten path to discover small villages or even big unknown cities. They feel uneasy in places, where they do not speak the language. I just can say: even though I speak Chinese now, I travelled to unknown places in China, when I still did not know any Chinese. And in many places people do not even speak Mandarin! Don't be afraid! You'll always find a bed and something to eat and many, many friendly people showing you around.
For some of my experiences in Off the Beaten Path Places in China see my following pages
Even on a group tour you can discover less known places in China:

Koh Samui
We boarded the cruise straight after arriving in Singapore on Sunday. Spent Monday sailing the high seas, and on Tuesday arrived at Koh Samui, an island off the eastern coast of Thailand. Here the hilight was an elephant ride.Related to:

I'm using the off the beaten path tips to tell you about about the places we visited along the way.
Singapore - I fell in love with this place. I call it the 'Garden City' because everywhere were beautiful gardens and trees. I'm glad we saved the best for last :o)
Tea Terraces in Mountians
It was just like being in a National Geographic documentary, driving up through the hills and mountains in Indonesia. Tea Terraces coated the mountains and life in this area seemed primative, peaceful and beautiful. Of course, for me, the real selling point for traveling out here had to be the cooler air. As can be seen in the photo, the humidity was thick, but the heat didn't make it up this high and I loved it.
My advise is to make a trip up to Puncak Pass Restaurant and enjoy a cup of tea, or a meal and the views.Related to:

Destinations that are not that easy to visit
Saudi-Arabia, North Korea and the British Indian Ocean Territory are difficult destinations to visit, because they are not easily accessible. In the cases of Saudi-Arabia and North Korea this has to do with the difficulty to obtain a visa. For the British Indian Ocean Territory the problem is that there are very few transportation alternatives available to get there.
Saudi-Arabia has traditionally not issued any tourist visas. If you work in Saudi-Arabia you can receive a work visa. If you come on business you can receive a business visa. If you do not work in Saudi-Arabia and your employer does not send you on business to Saudi-Arabia either then your only options are the transit visa, the visitor visa or the pilgrim visa (Ummra). The transit visa can be issued for a maximum of 72 hours. You need to have a confirmed onward ticket to qualify for a transit visa. The visitor visa is intented for family members visiting somebody who is working in Saudi-Arabia. It might be possible to receive a visitor visa if you have a friend in Saudi-Arabia and you persuade him or her to invite you. The pilgrim visa is only issued to muslims, so this means that you would have to lie on your visa application if you are not a muslim.
North Korea is the most closed country in the world. An organized tour is the only way to enter the country. A North Korean visa is notoriously difficult to get. Especially for American passport holders it is almost impossible to get a North Korean visa.
There are no flights to the British Indian Ocean Territory and there are no regular ship connections either. It is possible to charter a boat for the trip to the British Indian Ocean Territory from Maldives or from the Seychelles. It is going to be cheaper of course if you find a group of people to share the cost.Related to:

The Gazebo at Bogor Botonical Gardens
Bogor is a city in Indonesia that houses the Bogor Botonical Gardens. It is also a cooler and more refreshing place to be than at lower levels, where the heat and humidity were oppressive.
This Botonicla Garden has a long history and is a show place that shouldn't be missed. Here you can see the lush, exotic flora and fauna of this part of the world and still, throughout the park there are beautiful signs of the Dutch colonial days Indonesia lived under.
Now, the garden is the site of scholarly research and home to the endangered and elusive Rafflesia arnoldi. Called the 'corpse flower' it really reeks, to attract flies for pollination. Almost 1 meter wide and weighing about 9 kilograms, it is by far the largest bloom in the world. I wanted to see this flower, but my timing was off by three days.

found some of the best value food in the outback areas, cheapest rooms , not so many travellers which was cool if you are after culture and getting to know the country, good idea for travelling on buses is 24 seaters usually locals use it , they are way better than the nastier one for tourists like us , 24 seats
Most tourists only see the...
Most tourists only see the glamorous parts of a city. I encourage people to go into the 'real' parts of the city and see how the local people live. Go walking and let yourself get lost. It is much more fun not knowing where you are. Only then can you experience things you wouldn't otherwise. You'll find that the unnoticed people are much more friendly than the crowd rushing out of the MTR station or the cashier at the supermarket.
Find secluded place in any...
Find secluded place in any countries of Asia. Maybe the name of the place is unknown or unfamiliar on the sites, travel books, etc. For example, Shankouyang a small town at Kalimantan (Borneo) --for temporary, I put it on my Surabaya page. This place not yet listed as a tourist destination, even in my country. But I do enjoy being here. Known as city with thousand temples, just like somewhere in China!
There's one place no every...
There's one place no every Singaporean know-----That is Paya Lebar Air Base (In Singapore). It is located in Old Airport Road. As what you can guess from the name of this location (Old Airport Road),
Paya Lebar Air Base is actually the location Singapore previous Airport. Now, Paya Lebar Air Base no longer served as Singapore Airport. This previous Airport is replaced by the present new, high-technology, and air-conditioned Airport which has a very beautiful name called Singapore Changi Airport. Again, how this present Airport get it's name. It is the same theory----Singapore
Changi Airport is called as such is because it is situated in Changi Road.
Since Singapore Changi Airport has taken over the previous role of Paya Lebar Air Base, it (Paya Lebar Air Base) no longer served as a Airport. Now Paya Lebar Air Base served as a training centre for the safe taking off and landing of aircrafts.
Paya Lebar Air Base gives me a very good impression because it has a very spacious piece of open land. Some part is cemented, and some part is bare land. That place is so big, so big which made you feels that you are so tiny, so minute.
Sometimes, you can see aircrafts from different countries taking off or landing from there. It's such a nice feeling to see such a huge and heavy object flying up to the sky, turning smaller and smaller as it fly higher and further away. It's a nice experience to know how it sounds like when an aircraft is taking off, but for safety reason, try to give some protection to your ears by covering the(Your ears) with your hands.
To ensure safe aircraft taking off and landing, that place is to be litter-free, otherwise accident may happened due to the litter being sucked into the aircraft causing technical faults.
To get to Paya Lebar Air Base:
>>> Take MRT (Mass. Rapid Transit) to Paya Lebar MRT Station,
>> From Paya Lebar MRT Station, walk a very short distance to Tanjong Katong Complex,
> From the bus stop outside Tanjong Katong Complex, take bus 30.
When traveling to Asia,...
When traveling to Asia, usually, tourists are so occupied with all those well-known places of interest. Besides all those attractive and interesting places of interest, there are another cozy part of Singapore which many people have forgotten. They are those little islands (For example, Kusu Island, Sisters' Island, St. John's Island) which belonged to Singapore, but is separated from the city by sea. Out of all the Islands in Singapore, only Sentosa, followed by Pulau Ubin are more well-known. In fact, all the other Islands (Kusu Island, Sisters' Island and St. John Island) are very nice places which provide you with a temporary escape from the fast-paced, stressful and competitive environment, bring you nearer to nature and give you a breath of life. These places really help you to reflect on this world and life again. Next time you visit Singapore again, consider visiting these places which has been near forgotten. Treasure the chance while you still have it, as they may not be around forever. Singapore is a highly populated country, one day all these cozy islands may be converted to high-rise building due to the need of land for more living estates. Friends, treasure the chance when you still have it.

Food. You may think that all asian food is good, but we went on a beautiful and expensive trip to Asia and found out that all of us had problems with the food. Of course there are excellent restaurant but mostly in the Grand Tourism Hotels. Sometimes we ate at local restaurants that weren't as clean and good as we would've like. If you are not of those 'all-eaters' supply yourself with crackers and cookies from the 'frienship stores.

O.K., take a good look at the Map of Asia enclosed below.... See which places you haven't visited... Make a note of it.... Start saving your $$$$ from today onwards.... and soon you'd be on your way to conquer the places and countries you'd never imagine you'd see in person!

Volunteer Work In Third World Asian Countries:
There are some things in life money just can't buy. Inner peace, your sanity; Happiness and Joy. Do you feel like there is something missing in your life... and that there is more to life than just 'been there, done that, got the t-shirt'? Or just sitting glued to your PC day-in, night-out and seeing your life slowly slip by you whilst the rest of the world seem to be moving ahead? Why don't you consider volunteering your time promoting environmental and social causes? This kind of holiday will be one which you'll remember for the rest of your life. Often room and board are provided, allowing you to stay longer abroad/ overseas without breaking your bank account. And depending on your skills, you may even be able to negotiate a small salary.
World Service Enquiry gives a wealth of information and advice regarding working overseas in developing nations for peace, justice, development or even mission work!
If you're interested to expand the Kingdom of Christ, please check this site: Mission Church Work. I have done some mission work in IndoChina and believe me, it has changed my entire outlook in life. I'm not one to sit down and do nothing. I'd rather spend my time going out - yes, even into the field (if necessary) to make a little difference in this world. Nothing beats seeing things with your very own eyes... instead of reading the newspapers.

Citing a desire by the Associação Brasileria de Aviação Geral (ABAG) to assume a more extensive role in organizing the Latin American Business Aviation Conference and Exhibition (LABACE), the National Business Aviation Association in the U.S. has announced that it is scaling back its participation. "After three years, ABAG is moving into the lead and will coordinate the event from São Paulo," said NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen. LABACE 2007 (www.labace.aero) is scheduled for August 9 to 11 in São Paulo.

Lovely earrings - very light. The silver part has more of a hammered look than shows in the picture. The pearl is between peach and pink. You could wear either color and the earrings would work. Great value.Read More

Please protect your countertop and/or sink by avoiding contact with these substances. For more information, please review our "Marble & Granite Care" guide.
Love the construction of this vanity. It has a beautiful transitional feel to it, which blends perfectly with my not to modern and not to traditional home. Love it!
This vanity is made very well, has soft closing glides on the drawers , which is actually a great feature to have, because it doesn't allow the drawers to slam.
the details are nice and the stain is rich. the drawers close slowly.
nice style and not espresso. many details on the cabinet. the stone is not cultured.
the cabinet seems made well and the look is good but the drawers are light-duty and could be more substantial.
the legs and the wood details as well as the stain make this product different then the others. the quality is good.
the style is a little different from the others that weve seen. the drawers are the slow close variety. the top looks expensive.
the color is great. the pulls are kinda of klunky and big.the doors and drawers close slowly.
Great Price ! I had be searching for a similar look to this vanity, and seemed like all the vanity's that were similar to this look, were too much money. I was very happy that I came across this vanity, the price automatically struck me! Very Happy with the product and will highly recommend it.
the color of the berekely vanity is rich and more red than all the other "espresso's". the counter is nice and it was on display to see.
