Very good post! I agree with you, I am online a lot, chatting a lot, but I would rather write letters to my friends, I started a Christmas tradition where I mail a card to my online friends, and some of them mail me back too. It's so much more fun than sending an e-card. Same goes for relationships. we need to invest time and effort into them, do not take them for granted else we will loose themReplyDelete
LOL!!!;) I know that would irk you:P Writing a love letter is of course the best way to sne dyour love. But when a letter takes ten odd days to travel and reach its destined hands, the flame dies out:P Hope you would understand that;) Facebook status updates are the easiest way that your love notices what you say. And the 200 plus friends obviously know whom the message is for:) I still hold a treasure trove of hand written letters which i love to read when am particularly feel low, but still, the fun of instant texting and pinging in FB keeps the flame burning for people in long distance relationships like me:)))ReplyDelete
You rekindled my memories of our days. Those letters are still preserved in a box. However we have to move on with technology which is much faster but for some special ones we should still stick to good old ways which has personal touch.
Take care
@ cloud nine you have now given me a new angle - instant gratification...!! What about the wait and longing for that reply? yes I do understand the need for promptness of response! Jack I am glad you have those letters saved carefully. Emmy it is gratifying to know that some one of your generation understands the importance of handwritten communication!ReplyDelete
love letters!!!hmmphhh...:-( never got to write em.....thanks to this onslaught of social n/w ing....ReplyDelete
I do agree that those letters and cards had their own charm. I have so many of those and go back and read them sometimes. I like the new age too :). And, it seems so difficult even for those of us who know the importance of handwritten communication to go back to writing letters. I guess the convenience of technology has made all of us rusty :).ReplyDelete
TOTALLY agree with you.. I still have all the letter from everyone ..ReplyDelete
I do read them sometimes , Nope internet email or a phone cant compete with it .. I remmeber writing a article on the same topic.. the time spent in running ot the letter box to see if I have got replies those blue inland letters and then when i came ot uk the big blue international aerogrammes ...
Give me your address...shall send you a lovely card...what say???ReplyDelete
Would you believe if I said, I've written all my posts (98 to be precise) in my personal journal first...and then posted it in the blog... I don;t know why...but I prefer writing them down in a book...with my favorite pen...in a way i want...
I ave preserved...all the greeting cards and some special notes from my friends...in a box...and I read them, when i feel low...or when i miss them a lot..
A post on similar lines..
Take care

I was nodding my head all through this post. I totally agree too. The best part is, now even break ups happen through sms or email. No time and energy for emotions. Sigh!ReplyDelete
@ Bikram, Jyothi and Gayu- you seem to be my kind of people :-) Gayu I cannot believe you actually write out your posts. I type them out. Bikram I guess living abroad must be making each one of those aerograms special. Jyothi-so true! I am told you can also divorce through triple talaq over SMSReplyDelete
Superb post Meera. Oh those were the days....writing pages after pages and pouring out heart and also tears and laughter. I myself have written (kind of) booklets instead of letters..ha ha ha.ReplyDelete
And when the e-mail culture just started, I remember actually taking out print outs of the e-mails and preserving them..that was as a transition period
Read this post sometime when you get the opportunity:
Meera, you have such an ability to transport the reader back in time and effortlessly bring him to present! It was like a ride on the swing... beautiful postReplyDelete
well....whatever may be the advantages of technological development, nothing can replace the fragrance of hand written letters, they are so heart felt with personal touch into it......ReplyDelete
Nice post Meera ji...:)
More than a decade ago, during a research with a group of disabled persons we were communicating through emails. It lasted for about 6 months and was one of the most intense experiences of life for me. A written letter could not have done it, but rather reading about the experiences of others and expressing your own ..ReplyDelete
At last the jinx with my failed attempts to comment on this post has finally gone away.I was trying for a while and the "comment as.." window did not openReplyDelete
Well, like the many other things that have come to pass, ours seems to be a generation that is destined to heed and accept the call for change and at the same time force ourselves to accustom to the change itself.
The ubiquitous red Post Box, where have they all gone?
Superficial is the word now .May be I'm wrong and can be disputed.But nevertheless as you mentioned only if one has felt the feeling of accepting a hand written letter of love will one understand what technology has robbed or displaced.
Seriously......Even i have an urge for that kind of love where in the longing was so divine....The affection so sacred....Unlike nowadays where love is totally based on attraction, what clothes one wear, how hot he or she looks and so on.....ReplyDelete

ANZ International Women's Day Cocktail Evening
Daya Trust
Thursday, 5 March 2015 from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm (NZDT)
Event Details
You are invited to celebrate with us:
Thursday 5 March, 5pm-7pm
Level 15, Grant Thornton House, 215 Lambton Quay, Wellington
Join us for an evening of celebration, communication and collaboration as we support the empowerment of women and girls both here in New Zealand and around the globe.
Educating women and girls and subsequently giving them opportunities to become economically empowered are increasingly viewed as the most important contributing factors to achieving equality between women and men. Both access to education and economically strengthening women – who are half the world's workforce – are not only a means by which to spur economic growth, but also a matter of advancing women's human rights. When governments, businesses and communities invest in women, entire nations benefit.
"The education and empowerment of women throughout the world cannot fail to result in a more caring, tolerant, just and peaceful life for all." - Aung San Suu Kyi
We're delighted to have inspirational social entrepreneur, Ranjna Patel, has our keynote speaker. Ranjna has over 37 years built one of New Zealand's largest primary healthcare providers, Nirvana Health Group, to serve low-cost healthcare to more than 170,000 Aucklanders. She has created a viable service where children attend for free and adults pay no more than $10 per visit. Also, as a third-generation Kiwi Indian, Ranjna's close ties with India cemented her connection with Daya Trust who use education as a tool to empower and build young women leaders in India and New Zealand.
Drinks and nibbles will be served during the event.
Brought to you by:
All proceeds from the evening will support Daya Trust's work in New Zealand and India empowering women and girls through education. This includes our partnership with Sakhi for Girls Education who runs the Girls Learning Centre in Mumbai, India. You can read more about our work here: www.dayatrust.com

Thursday, 5 March 2015 from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm (NZDT)
Add to my calendar
Daya Trust
At Daya Trust we use education as an empowerment tool for women and girls to enable them to become their own changemakers. We share the belief that gender equality is a human right. We believe that women and girls are entitled to live with dignity, and freedom from need and fear. We believe gender equality is an essential component to advance communities and reduce poverty. Our focus includes promoting the empowerment of women and girls in India and New Zealand, and building young women leaders.

Follow-up to Alan Colmes' Interview
By Tom G. on March 2, 2012 at 9:18 pm
Are any signed copies of your book going to be availalbe?
By Robert Rapier on March 3, 2012 at 12:37 am
Tom, I don't know how all of this is supposed to play out. A lot of people have asked me for signed copies; I just don't know the logistics of doing that. My publisher will probably advise me on that.
Those who are enamored of renewables and also concerned about high gasoline prices and rising electricity rates would do well to realize that renewables are currently more expensive than more conventional forms of energy and likely to remain so for some considerable time; and, that renewables are, to some extent, the cause of the rising prices and rates.
Mr. Reid and I have posted on many different renewable energy websites before where this topic has been discussed. I think it all boils down to the who, what, when, where and how we use solar. In some areas of the country some renewable technologies can be cost competitive. In others areas, not so much. One example would be solar PV in the State of California.
If you happen to live in the central to Southern part of the state and are a homeowner you are living with Time of Use [TOU] electric metering. Electric rates can vary from a non peak rate of about $.052 to a peak rate of $.33/kWh. Solar PV begins to make sense when individuals start buying electricity at peak rates. However, this too can lead to differences of opinion. If for example, a family of 4 with working parents and teenage children leave for work and school and are gone during those peak hours; then there is no one left to use it. However, if Grandma and Grandpa wanted to watch TV during the day [Grandma loves the soaps], do a load of laundry or turn on the AC when it hits 95 degrees outside; they could very easily get stuck using some peak electricity. So again, unless you are willing to make some changes in your lifestyle [when you do stuff or where you live] it becomes more of a who, what, when and where that counts. Of course our family of 4 would most likely hit some of those peak rates on the weekends.
From the production side of the equation, solar has become a valid energy choice for some public utilities like the Southern California Edison Co and Pacific Gas and Electric. These utilities have recently contracted for over 1000 megawatts of solar PV which is currently being designed and/or under development. Solar PV is also being installed on thousands of homes and hundreds of industrial buildings by small business contractors. It becomes more a matter of the specific who, what, when and where you install solar that makes a difference if it will be competitive and competitive with what.
The power purchase agreements [contracts] for these solar systems are coming in at under the cost of new combined cycle gas plants. Now a combined cycle gas plant is certainly more expensive than a peaking unit or even a coal plant. However you could never get a permit to build another coal plant in California. However if you happen to live in Montana or even Arizona where there is lots of sunshine; coal could still be cheaper if the plants already exist. Or if you lived in the Southeastern part of the U.S. where coal is king, solar would most likely be more expensive. But as our host has said many times before, in the end; solar will become our fuel of choice.
I agree with our host that solar; of various types; is the only fuel that is clean, plentiful and does not pose a significant risk to humans or our planet. From an engineering standpoint, I like the idea of having our nuclear reactor 93 million miles away which provides more than 6,000 times the energy we need to run our planet. According to what I read, that reactor should last for about another 2 billion years and there does not appear to be any need to reprocess the fuel or provide some type of long term storage.
Solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, wave, tide, river and ocean currents [did I hit them all?] all have pros and cons. They will however be here long after most of the oil, natural gas and other forms of carbon based fuels have been used and have become minor players in the energy game.
By Frank Weigert on March 9, 2012 at 10:45 am
"Solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, wave, tide, river and ocean currents [did I hit them all?] "
You missed biomass.
I presume by Solar you mean photovoltaics, because otherwise everything in your list except geothermal is "solar."
Thank you, Ed Reid, it's good to know someone else understands that expensive fuels can't solve the problem of expensive fuels.
The specific energy problem that we face in the U.S. today is that economic growth is constrained by high liquid fuel costs. Growth is not constrained by high energy costs in general. Electric rates aren't high enough to limit growth, and neither is the cost of natural gas for domestic or industrial heat. Our problem is very specific: We need cheaper sources of liquid hydrocarbons to grow our economy.
$100/bbl oil significantly restricts economic growth. Unconventional fossil fuels, such as tar sands and GtL, that are only viable when conventional oil prices are high, offer no solution. Renewable fuels, such as cellulosic and algal biofuels, that will only become viable when oil is > $150/bbl, offer no solution. The "all of the above" approach that Obama and others advocate represents a fundamental misunderstanding of the problem. We don't need "all of the above." We need cheaper liquid fuels.
By Tom G. on March 5, 2012 at 1:47 pm
Hi Tim C:
Cheaper liquid fuels would indeed help spur growth and here is a video you might enjoy. It is about an hour in length so grab a cup of coffee and enjoy Amory Lovins speaking at Yale University. He makes several good points about how we can reduce the $1.5 trillion we are currently spending on energy. This is a forward looking big picture view of energy. I hope you enjoy it.
By Tom G. on March 5, 2012 at 1:49 pm
I forgot to mention the embedded video is near the bottom of the page.
By Frank Weigert on March 9, 2012 at 10:52 am
"Renewable fuels, such as cellulosic and algal biofuels, that will only become viable when oil is > $150/bbl, offer no solution. "
The reason these fuels are coming in so expensive is that venture capitalists are driving the research. They want to make money rather than produce cheap fuels. Algae that make sugars or esters require expensive new investment to convert the plant-based products into transportation fuels.
Growing Botyrococcus braunii in the ocean offers the possibility of cheap hydrocarbons. Growing it will not require trillions of dollars in new investment and it should be possible to process the hydrocarbons in existing petroleum refineries or substitute them for coal in existing plants to produce electricity.
Do you know why gasoline deliveries from refineries haven fallen off a cliff the last few years? I know the refinery closures are probably adding to that trend, but they have been trending downward for a few years now. What impact will that have on gasoline prices? Thanks!
By Robert Rapier on March 3, 2012 at 10:20 pm
Do you know why gasoline deliveries from refineries haven fallen off a cliff the last few years?
Because gasoline demand in the U.S. has fallen off a cliff. But U.S. demand itself doesn't much impact upon U.S. gasoline prices, since oil is a globally traded commodity. We are still paying the world price.
I enjoyed the reference to desert power plants, and I have wondered why if you put the word "solar" in front of something, that means it is green. Really? Scarring up a huge swatch of habitat is green? As compared to a small nuke plant?
As RR regularly points out, there are more tradeoffs than silver bullets in the energy world, and partisan posturing is usually a prelude to stupid commentary.
That said, the price signal does work wonders. The new Envia battery could make a difference, or some other advanced battery, as might CNG cars. There are a lot ofways to skin the cat.
With some luck, the future can be cleaner and more prosperous.
By Tom G. on March 5, 2012 at 5:17 pm
I live in Western Arizona within about 60 miles of 3 solar plants either in the planning stages or under construction. One plant is about 25 North of Kingman, AZ. Another is about 20 miles North of Lake Havasu City, AZ and the other is near Interstate 10 about 70 miles North of the of the Mexican and California borders. I have visited or travel by all three [3] of these sites from time to time.
The one near Kingman, AZ is not yet under construction. It is in the process of re-design from a concentrating solar trough type plant to a design using flat plate PV collectors. The closest cities are Kingman, AZ and Las Vegas, NV. The design was changed for two reasons. Less water consumption and cost effectiveness of the flat plate collectors. When visiting the area where the plant will be built, you have to drive about 20 miles with nothing visible open desert.
The second plant near Lake Havasu City was going to be a Sterling engine concentrating solar power plant with the mirrors and collectors mounted on poles driven into the ground like pilings for a boat dock. This design would have disturbed only minor amounts of vegetation since everything was mounted above ground level. The design of this plant has also changed since the Sterling engines are no longer considered to be cost effective. It is now being designed as a flat plate PV facility and construction has not yet begun. To visit this plant site area you need to travel about 19 miles on a State highway thru open country.
The third solar plant about 100 miles south of me I pass when I travel to visit my son in California. It is several miles off the road and appears to be well into the construction phase. I have not done a close up visit to this facility but unless you were looking for it, you might never see it. It appears as a small square plot of land surrounded by thousands of acres of open land.
The one things all of these plants have in common is this. It now appears that it is more cost effective to use flat plate collectors than most other forms of solar which depend on some form of concentration. It might also be true that in some ways these newer plants using flat plate collectors are less harmful to the environment since they are not creating plumbs of hot moist air from the condensers used to cool a typical steam cycle plant.
While these solar plants certainly do take up large areas of land for all of the panels, you literally have to go looking for them. Every one of these plants are surrounded by tens of thousands of acres of open land. For example, when heading South towards Interstate 10 I can drive for 60 miles and never see a cow, tractor, or a bush higher than 5′. I am sorry but I just don't see land use as a big deal. All you need to do is just drive along almost any highway in the Southwestern part of the U.S. to realize just how much open land we have.
HOWEVER; there are some things I don't like about the way we are currently doing solar. I also don't like to see large areas of the desert scraped clear of vegetation, covered with rock and surrounded by a chain link fence. And it is not because we are doing something horrible to some animal since most of those can easily be moved it because its stupid.
I just think it is STUPID the way we build these things. We first scrape the soil bare. Then fence the area. Then we dig trenches for the buss ducts/cabling. Then we pour concrete footings for buildings and support structures for the panels. They we erect the support structures, then mount the panels, finish the wiring spread rock all over the place and then sell it to some utility to run it.
Scraping the land bare is costly. Covering it with rocks is expensive. Fencing it is expensive, Pouring concrete support structures is expensive. Almost all of these expenses could be eliminated by using the driven piling method of construction. Not only that when you finished the project we should be removing the fencing and once again the wild life can roams free throughout the area. And we think we are the sharpest cheddar in the deli case.

January, 1944… somewhere in the Gustav Line, south of Rome
"…everything is really quiet now, Hans, all is silent… I almost can hear the murmuring of the stream and the wind whistling softly through the trees…"
"…you´re right, maybe it´s because Fritz has stopped snoring just at the same time as the american planes have finished their bombing raid. Anyway, you should better stop trying to listen bullshits and pay attention… just in case you hear the 'Amis´ coming…"
Althought most of the Generals wouldn´t place any objection, armies can´t be all day going from one place to another, invading countries on board their tanks and halftracks. Sometimes, the tide turns and the victorious mechanized divisions have to dig trenches, build bunkers, lay thousands of mines and kilometers of barbed wire, and "dig in" as deep as posible waiting for the inevitable enemy assault.
That also happens in FoW games, and that´s why building some fortifications, just in case you have to play one of those missions,is always a good idea. I´m gonna show you some pictures of my own models…
First of them all, the most basic material: barbed wire fences and minefields. The main purpose of those obstacles is not killing soldiers but force them to move towards specific areas where they will be much more vulnerable to machine-gun fire or antitank guns.
This are resin pieces made by Kerr & King. I bought the barbed-wire at Antenocity´s Workshop. If you look close to the pieces you can find several interesting details:
In the barbed wire fence pieces you can see corpses lying on the ground, between the wooden posts, as if the had been killed while they were crossing the wire, caught unaware by the machine-gun fire of the defenders. Seems that they have been modelled in a very neutral way, so you can paint wearing almost any uniform. In this case I painted them as soviets.
And, what do you think about this?… nothing says "Mine Field" better and louder than a group of slaughtered cows close to a bomb crater… well, maybe a sign with the inscription "Achtung Minen" says it even better…but this signs are not always available.
And all this work just to place our unaware assailants within range of our bunkers… like this one, another Kerr & King piece.
This time, I´ve modified the original model adding a camouflge net to the roof. I made the net using a piece of a gauze bandage drenched in a mix of water and white glue.
An last, but not least, the most ubiquitous defensive work… the trench. Made of extruded poliestyrene and balsa Wood. The surface was covered with sand to add some texture, and static grass..
And that´s all for today. Hope you like it.

CANCELLED: Hamilton Children's Choir • Sunday, July 16
UPDATE: Due to forecast for rain and risk of thunderstorms, this instalment of Seven Sundays in Gage Park has been cancelled.
Produced by Sonic Unyon, the second night of the City of Hamilton's 2017 Seven Sundays in Gage Park concert series showcases Emma Bergin, Alyssa LeClair and Gillian Nicola, all talented alumna of the acclaimed Hamilton Children's Choir.
6:00PM: Food Trucks Open
Come buy some delicious food from local food trucks (including Kool Jim's Ice Cream Truck, MeatVentures, Relay Coffee, Rudy's, and Urban Express) serving dinner and dessert.
7:30PM: Hamilton Children's Choir featuring HCC alumna Emma Bergin, Alyssa LeClair & Gillian Nicola
Hailing from Hamilton, Ontario, Emma Bergin has currently completed her Bachelor of Music in Performance at the University of Toronto under the guidance of Canadian soprano Elizabeth McDonald, and is excited to start her Masters of Operatic Performance at the University of Toronto in the fall. At 21, she has a long list of accomplishments in both operatic repertoire and concert performances. In 2015 she was awarded the opportunity to perform as the Alto Soloist with the University of Toronto Symphony Orchestra, the University of Toronto's Women's Chamber Choir, and the University of Toronto's Men's Chorus for their presentation of Beethoven's Choral Fantasy. Along with that, she was also seen in many onstage performances, such as University of Toronto Opera's production of Britten's Paul Bunyon, and Halifax Summer Opera Festival's production Kurt Weill's Street Scene as both Emma Jones and Olga Olsen. 2016 saw many on-stage performances such as University of Toronto Opera's production of Orphée aux Enfers as the goddess Ceres and the understudy for Public Opinion, Halifax Summer Opera Festival's production of Suor Angelica as La Zelatrice, and many roles at Opera NUOVA including The Duchess in Gilbert and Sullivan's The Gondoliers, Chorus in Bellini's I Capuleti e i Montecchi, and Mrs. Phagan in Jason Robert Brown's Parade. 2016 concert appearances included the music of Fiddler on the Roof, where Emma performed the roles of Hodel, Chava, and Yente with the Centre for Opera Studies and Appreciation—a subset fundraising association of the Centre for Opera Studies in Italy.
Alyssa LeClair is a singer and actress based in Toronto, Ontario. She graduated from NYU Steinhardt in 2015 with her Masters in Music, Vocal Performance under the tutelage of the brilliant Dianna Heldman. Upon graduation, Alyssa worked at Sharon Playhouse as a featured Ensemble member in My Fair Lady, directed and choreographed by Richard Stafford. She can also be seen in the movie "Fat Camp" directed by Emmy nominated Jen Arnold, which was recently acquired by BET and premieres on Monday, July 17th at 8:00PM. At NYU Alyssa's was involved in Massenet's Cendrillon (Dallet Norris), A Man of No Importance (John Simpkins), Man of La Mancha, Carousel (William Wesbrooks) and See What I Wanna See (MK Lawson/Caleb Hoyer). Alyssa has also been a soloist in concerts at 54 Below including Blame Canada! an all-Canadian concert celebrating Canadian Broadway artists and writers! When she's not performing she drinks a lot of tea and watches videos of French bulldogs.
The first thing that strikes listeners about Gillian Nicola is the strength of her vocals. Nicola's vocal delivery is full of power, while remaining authentic and vulnerable. The singer/songwriter calls on influences of folk, rock and alt-country to create a sound that honours her diverse taste. In Spring 2016, Nicola released her sophomore EP, No Place to Call, recorded at Hamilton's Catherine North Studios with producer Dan Hosh (Wild Rivers, Rose Cousins) and mastered by Elliott Brood's Stephen Pitkin. On a base level, the songs are what many have come to know and love from Canadian folk music, but the vocal delivery and heavy instrumentation set Nicola apart. Throughout the recording, she employs the use of heavy textures and ambience coupled with emotionally-charged lyrics and vocal delivery. Since the release of No Place to Call in April 2016, Nicola has completed three tours in Canada and has performed in Nashville, TN. This summer, Nicola will embark on her first tour of Western Canada. A classically trained vocalist, Nicola's 2013 EP Chasing the Wind, was nominated for two Hamilton Music Awards (Best New Artist/Group, Alt-Country Recording of the Year) and the Toronto Independent Music Awards (Best Folk). Nicola has made many high-profile appearances, including: the JUNO Concert Series, The Love Song Edition and Hamilton's Supercrawl. Nicola was a Regional Finalist in the 2015 CBC Searchlight Competition and was selected for the Canadian Independent Recording Artist's Association's Mentorship Program, where she received one-on-one mentorship with Livy Jeanne (Black Box Records, Universal Music) over the summer of 2015.

My brother's cabin and a book in my hands.
I couldn't stop listening to this song while I wrote this. The lyrics are inconsequential; this is the sound my soul was making.
The way I love you
wouldn't cause any notes
on a scandal
yet every contact I
get from you is a high
it's true
I drop tears from
missing you
just as the selkie
weaves sea glass from
salt to remember the place
she longs to return to
I remember you
Those who think they
know what's between us
would surely be disappointed
if I admitted I miss the smell
of your hair when you'd hold
me close, it's not because I
covet that which is not mine
to have or to keep
there's a Spirit that wove
this thread between us
and for me no other
explanation is needed
Love, I don't wanna weigh you
down with gifts you don't want
with stupid things
like cooking you food
like laughing with you
being your safe place
in bad dreams
an anchor when everyone
else is busy making waves
Love, I don't wanna weigh you
down with offerings you
no longer need
I am but a poor replacement
a stand-in mother but I
love you like the real thing
I am a strange hybrid of
loved one and friend but
you're a permanent heartstring
like the real thing
Love, I don't wanna weigh you
down if I'm the only one
bending in the heavy of
living without the other
In this, one of my longest
years, I've tried to grow
a tougher skin
a tamer tongue
a safer distance
All the things I think you want
But with you
I fail so easily
You, I have loved
so recklessly
But if
when your feet
touch ground
when you've tired
of flight if you find
the fixed point of
my soul is still
in your sights
come back to me.
Today wrapped up a five week poetry workshop that I had the opportunity to facilitate. Here are a few thoughts from my fearless, beautiful participants that resonated with me. They are truths I will carry with me:
"I hurt easily, because I love deeply"–Belinda
"[poetry is] an appropriate way to express inappropriate things"–Maria
"I AM perfection"–Kristen
"A 'thin place' is a term that…in Celtic spiritually…refer[s] to places where the distance between heaven and earth seem gossamer thin."
I have this text
from you
I kept
after things got bad
after I'd deleted the rest
too painful to remember
all I thought was lost
It was
the last time
you'd told me
you loved me
the last time
things were good
Since then
You've tied knots
in our elastic thread
more times than I
care to admit
I'm coming to the understanding
that I may never understand you
Loving you
has never been a choice
The only conditions
I've placed on it
have been unconditions
only that's not entirely true
Because if it were it wouldn't hurt
So fucking much to love you
My breath humming over
those knots in
rosary contrition
in prayers & poems & psalms
I hope will unravel them
If I've expected
too much from you
it's because you gave me
what I wished for
a dangerous thing
for the inner girl
so used to conditions
so used to losing
are a faultline
all too capable of
breaking me
Either present-full overflowing
or empty
Either a tidal flood of your voice
cracked open
welcome at your door
Northern light calling me in
Or I have no clue
what you're thinking
The only person
standing between
Me & You
Is You
Which scares me
It means that
from now on
the silence will
only have to do
with me
I'm working on the breaking
on Balance
With you
I've always been lacking
You're the only one
I've ever loved this much
with restrictions
I won't make excuses for
all I wished could be
It's been unfair of me
to want or expect
adopting you into daily breaths
hurt when being your home
was borderline reality
a ringing in my lungs louder
when I'm empty
Emptier with every whisper
telling me I've over-stayed
my welcome
said you've grown sick of me
said you didn't really want me
that my affectionate ways
I'm piecing together shards
prying lose fingers clinging to
I stopped reading that text
these past few weeks
instead I content myself
to pray for you before I sleep
I'd rather wait now
For the "I love you, too"
I may or may not get
I'll love you
better for that
For not reaching in vain
towards all I can't have back
I can love you
just the same
from any distance
whether or not you
need me to
Whether or not you
Unravel our elastic thread
I still feel you
In thin places
Less like barbed wire
More like remembering
The chains he beat me with
got nothin on these reigns
wrapped round my heart
I keep it on lockdown
Don't feel quite warmth
or words you whisper
They fall on stony ground
Still I tell my nightmares
to you
of bludgeoning demons with
tangling up our tongues
twisting sheets my eyes
are perpetually sleepy
but open
My ears eager to recognize
your voice in my night
when all lights
go out
like a permanent imprint
your sound
storm shelter
a melody I want to hum
but am
deafened by red rum
I never see his face
but am haunted nonetheless
I still hear him
Your fingers
trace alchemist constellations
up my arm
across my chest
down my pants
a down payment to the new
slave master
There are no victims
in victory
so I
keep these chains he
beat me with rusty
with angel dust cannabis
sunsets amber oceans
I bob like a cork in
the riptide of my
own making
I could rip me in half
so easily
with a laugh
and a shrug
and a lie
How the chains he
beat me with
got nothin on these
reigns wrapped round
my heart.
–I'd like to dedicate this poem to the woman I heard on the radio the other day, whose mother suffers from schizophrenia. Who said [paraphrased], "Thirty times, we lost her. And we got her back. And we lost her. And I grieved her every time." Thank you for perspective. And hope.
I am struggling
to live up to
my proud words
in my heart
I am floundering
this dry, lonesome season
outstretched like a crucifix
my feet affixed to a path
no choice
but to force forward
look to the East
But in my heart
I am not brave
and I am struggling
to live up to
my proud words
Not to the promise
I gave you
to love you
no matter what
Loving you is easy
Not to the truth
that I would offer
my very life
to help you
save you
resurrect you from
razor-sharp coral
you keep trying to
swim through
No, dying for you
would be easy
This silent passivity
being asked of me
is not
It's not in my nature
to keep quiet
not fight for you
But remember
I know enough to know
that I could in fact
hack away at hardened
coral flesh til my
fingers scraped to bone
til my tears ran black
til it tore us both
in two
But what good would it do?
I know enough of sawing
souls in two to know
I can never do that
to you
But in my heart
I am not brave
and I am struggling to
live up to
my proud words
The Spirit says
I have to
it is not love
and nothing short of Love
will do
I cling to that
when my fingers tremble
over keys I won't press
calls I won't make
when I burst into tears
at the mention of your name
when I recite poems
like prayers
when prayers are the only
Voice I've got
when the Void won't
let me rest
I remind myself
is the love
you've asked for
And whether desert,
forest, sky, or sea
My Love
For You
True North
An eternal hoping
A resting place for all my
proud words
I keep thinking
I'll make something meaningful
out of this
a little beauty for ashes
I walked the Appalachian Trial
this past weekend
crossed your road
J asked
"Do you know where you are?"
I'm in the wrong May
I wanted to go back
to the one where you
pointed out the path
for us
"The Appalachian Trail
runs through there"
I wanted to walk until
that road veered into
broken asphalt and dirt
I wanted to find last year's
May there I wanted to do
what I wanted to do
cotton wrap your skin
fold you into Home
But I couldn't get across
that double line
fast enough
I could've walked til
my lungs gave out
I can't outrun
this May
fast enough
Jaymes Young:
screw you!
Forget Pandora too
I'm tired out being
cut out of my skin
every time I hear you
and Big Jet Plane
I wanna set fire
to the laptop
and hug the speakers
I rediscovered
Tori Amos
in her randomness
I wish I could
scrape such beauty
from my consciousness
Lyrical fusions
tethered to nothing
then she'll drop that
minor note wrap
God's fingers around
my throat
There must be something
I'll sit through five minutes
of Baker, Baker nonsense
for one moment of raw truth
I'll hold my breath through
God knows how many months
of silence
luminous truth
one I still love you
even if it's just
an echo
bouncing off
the canyon
last May
was shoved into.
I remembered when
a hand reached around
this door frame
warm fingers over mine
like I
was something exquisite
to touch
I remember when it didn't hurt
this much to stare down a
wonder if I'd see you
When I didn't dread
locking eyes with her
a face so like yours
now I can't shrink into
corners far enough to
I wonder
how I was good
to anyone this
despite what they
tell me
Grief persists
whether or not the
blame is assignable
The Void
won't fill
where only
It is a heavy
you've taught me
something new
How we hope
because we have to
How I'd just as soon
remove an organ
as recollections
of You
My love
for you
a voice box with
no lungs
still singing
Thoughts of you
elbow into
every quiet space
I pushpin them to
a thrice-opened wound
Too full of the loss
of You
to feel anything
but ocean floor
When I remember.
I just want to go numb
be done with four-letter
words bearing weakness
so vividly
I just want opaque
out of body
astral extremity
no pressure points putting
pressure on you on sagging
limbs tired of hearts
too heavy to balance
too salted with my tears
too scalded with their
Unjustified jealousies
only ever
Love Out Standing Stranded
Love Opposite Simple Sincerity
Love Over-Stepping Self
Love Only Surviving Sin
Love Only Surviving Sorrow
Love Only Surviving Separation
Love Only Selling my SoulZen
Love Only Seeking Sanctuary
Love Only Searching my SoulBrother
Love Only Seeking my SpiritSon
Love Only Sewing Salvation
Love Only Saying Someone

Soybeans — the base from which tofu is made — have a controversial reputation and have been the subject of quite a few medical research through the past decade. Soybeans comprise excessive levels of phytoestrogens, a plant compound that (as its title implies) comprises qualities that resemble estrogen, a hormone linked to breast cancer. Not one of the proof around soy consumption and breast cancer reveals any direct links — most, in fact, says otherwise, in line with the Susan G.

Here is where I have to put my few pennies worth in. If <table> were actually used **solely** for the presentation of tabular (arrays of) data, I would agree with Dimitry. Since it is also (and mostly) used for the presentation of web pages, it is a problem. This problem could be overcome by creating another html tag which is used only for data (maybe <array>?), or it could be resolved by taking the presentation features which make <table> indispensable for layout of web sites and making them available in CSS. This is my preference. (See http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2007Jun/0122.html and http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2007May/0077.html, along with their threads, for more details.) To attempt to use <table> both for LAYOUT and for tabular DATA conflicts with the fundamental precepts of CSS and will cause conflicts, both in people's minds and on the web, as the sides argue which is the better use of tables and why the other should just go away.

The data could automatically be displayed just the way a spreadsheet would display it, including adding commas and dollar (monetary) signs to money values, aligning right for numbers and left for text, lines between data cells, etc. Then, too, it would make sense to consider different chart styles and how to display the data in forms other than just rows and columns.

"China's Economy in the 21st Century" is one of the many activities undertaken by The Hong Kong Institute of Economics and Business Strategy (HIEBS) to further the understanding of critical issues facing the economics and business of Asia.
China's emergence onto the world stage will continue to be one of the most important economic stories of the 21st century. Entry into the World Trade Organization and ongoing reforms will create enormous challenges as well as opportunities for China's economy and for business in the Chinese Mainland.
The two-day conference will bring together leading thinkers from around the world to assess the driving forces that will promote or hinder China's economic development in the new century.

He is a poet, she, a sad and beautiful woman.
"We're perfect for each other," he says.
"How so?" she asks.
"You are a sad, beautiful woman," he answers. "And I am poet."
"It won't last," she says sadly.
"It may take the better part of an afternoon. Or two."
"You have mistaken me for another kind of girl, I'm afraid."
"Your beauty is unmistakable."
"And my sadness?"
"It will take a poem to get it right."
"I don't think I'm interested."
"I think you have mistaken me for another kind of poet."
She is unimpressed, but vaguely intrigued.
"I have no designs on you," he explains. "Only your beauty, its sadness. I am suggesting you come home with me, to my 'studio', if you will, and sit for me. Sit for my poem. This is something painters and sculptors have been doing forever."
"Always with pure intentions, I'm sure!"
"Their motives were often mixed, I'll grant. But not entirely base. There was always the painting or the sculpture. Or at least the pretense of one. It kept the session taut."
"It maintained a certain tension. It brought precision to the encounter. I think that tension would be good for poetry."
"How have poems been made until now?"
"They've been recollected in tranquility, after the encounter. The encounter has had to happen in real time, in real life. No time to observe. No time to think and feel. It's like asking a sculptor to go to the park and observe all the women there, walking, jogging, lying in the sun. Then he goes back to his studio and works from memory. It wouldn't surprise us if his work lacked precision."
"So, instead, he invites a woman he finds attractive…"
"And sad," she adds sarcastically.
"Yes, and sad."
"…back to his apartment…"
"His 'studio'," he marks the air, and smiles.
"…and gets her to undress for his art."
"That's the basic idea."
"Would we sleep together?"
"That is a distinct possibility."
"I won't lie. But it is truly only a possibility. A very distinct one. It is precisely that possibility that the poem is about."
"And your wife would not mind?"
"She would. She must."
"How is that?"
"It's part of the necessary tension. A good poem is always an act of infidelity. (Even a poem about my wife's sadness and beauty would betray our vows.) A poem writhes against the immediate rightness suggested by our institutions—our sense of decency. Your beauty, its sadness, for example, challenges even the happiest marriage. For me to insist on noticing it is a minor scandal. But my faithlessness may produce only a poem. A poem is the fulcrum of enormous leverage…"
"I bet," she balks. "The lightest word may move to heavy deeds."
"Of course. Or the minor scandal may merely occasion a great poem. And that, in the end, is all I hope for."
"Well, I won't sleep with you."
"My poem depends on getting you to recognize only the possibility."
"So if I remain firm you will not get your poem."
"Exactly. But I hope I will. We talk for an hour or two. I will get a chance to see your beauty, its sadness, in good light. I'll be able to register its moods and caprices under ideal conditions. If I am good and if I am lucky, I will see the moment when you consider 'the one obvious remedy'*. I don't even need to know that that is what I've seen. I will have enough for my poem. And you can go home, unsullied."
*He is, of course, quoting from Ezra Pound's essay "Troubadours—Their Sorts and Conditions": "After the compositions of Vidal, Rudel, Ventadour, of Bornelh and Bertrans de Born and Arnaut Daniel, there seemed little chance of doing distinctive work in the 'canzon de l'amour courtois'. There was no way, or at least there was no man in Provence capable of finding a new way of saying in six closely rhymed strophes that a certain girl, matron or widow was like a certain set of things, and that the troubadour's virtues were like another set, and that all this was very sorrowful or otherwise, and that there was but one obvious remedy." (LE, p. 102)

Legal Hound
Our most important goal is to establish a political presence in the Oklahoma state legislature. This is necessary for us to preserve our right to free cast our hounds. The current legislature has passed laws that make it illegal to retrieve your hound without specific permission from the landowner where your hound is treed. For example, you cast your hound in an area where you have permission to hunt, but your hound trees on property where you do not have permission to hunt.
All houndsmen should be sure to register to vote. It does not matter whether you register as a Democrat or Republican. You should make sure that your spouse, adult children and relatives are registered to vote. Each houndsman should be responsible for seeing that his friends and relatives are registered to vote and are educated on how to vote in a particular election. The only way to preserve your right to hunt is through the power of the vote.
The year 2012 is an election year. The entire House of Representatives will be up for election. One-half of the Senate will be up for election. Members of the House of Representatives serve a two year term and must stand for reelection every two years. In the Senate, a senator serves a term of four years before he or she must stand for reelection. Senators running for reelection in the odd numbered districts stand for reelection in the same year as the presidential election. Senators running for reelection in even numbered districts stand for reelection in the same year as the gubernatorial election.
One of the most important tasks that we face is the selection of a legislative representative (lobbyist). This person will represent us in the state legislature and will be required to spend a large amount of time visiting with members of the state House of Representatives and the state Senate.
On December 17, 2011, a group of houndsmen met at my law office in Oklahoma City. The purpose of this meeting was to select the person or persons who can serve as the legislative representative for houndsmen in the Oklahoma state legislature. A great deal of time needs to be spent at the state legislature visiting with senators and representatives about the issues that face houndsmen. We will also learn the identity of those who serve in the legislature that favor our sport and those who oppose it. This information will guide us in how we vote in the November 2012 election.
If you are aware of a person or persons who is capable and willing to serve in the capacity of legislative representative, please contact me immediately at 1-800-739-2235.
I had a long visit with Senator Charles Wyrick, Fairland, OK. He serves District 1, which includes Craig, Delaware and Ottawa counties. Senator Wyrick serves an odd numbered district in the senate, which means that he will stand for reelection in 2012. We certainly want to give Senator Wyrick our complete support. I also visited with Representative Scott Inman, minority leader in the House of Representatives. Representative Inman is proving to be very helpful and a supporter for our program. He represents District 94, Oklahoma County. We also want to give him our full support in his bid for reelection in November, 2012.
Wildlife Department Public Hearings
The Oklahoma Wildlife Department has announced public hearings to be held on January 10, 2012, in Oklahoma City (Wildlife Department Office), and in Poteau (Kiamichi Vo-Tech Center). These meetings will begin at 7 PM.
Among several rule changes to be discussed is removing the daily bag limit on gray fox, red fox and raccoon. The current daily bag limits are; gray fox-2, red fox-1, and raccoon-10. There is no proposal to change the season bag limit for raccoon, forty per licensee, but there is a proposal to increase the season bag limit on gray fox from six to ten.
Please make plans to attend these public hearings. Also, please let me know how you feel about these issues. This helps me determine how to vote as a wildlife commissioner in the Wildlife Commission meetings. You can contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com or 1-800-739-2235.

A South Gauteng High Court has found a former South African ambassador to Uganda, Jon Qwelane, guilty of hate speech.
He has been ordered to apologise to the gay community for his 2008 newspaper column titled "Call Me Names, But Gay Is Not OK" which the court found to be harmful. The South African Human Rights Commission says the judgement in the case against Jon Qwelane highlights the tendency for people to hide hate speech behind freedom of speech; adding that the fear of hate speech is a daily reality for those living within the LGBTI community.
Although Qwelane has been ill and was not in court, he has been ordered to write his apology within 30 days. He was also ordered to pay the legal costs for the case, including the postponements. His constitutional challenge of the Promotion of Equality and Prevention of Unfair Discrimination Act hate speech clause was also dismissed.

Set on 504 acres of the bluffs of the exclusive Newport Coast, Pelican Hill is a Renaissance-style resort with architecture reminiscent of Andrea Palladio's celebrated churches, villas, and palaces in Northern Italy. Everything about this resort is grand and luxurious, from the massive arch your car passes under as it heads up the hill to the resort to the circular infinity-edged Coliseum Pool (one of the world's largest) with its 1.1 million hand-cut glass mosaic tiles which mirror the brilliantly blue coastal skies. The stunning views from the lobby, with the Tom Fazio designed golf course in the foreground and the brilliant Pacific looming behind, are breathtaking and best enjoyed with a cup full of house made gelato from the Caffé.
Can a resort this opulent and luxurious also be family friendly? Absolutely! This resort is designed to appeal to those who are used to the finer things in life; people who are used to the best want the best for their children as well!
Spacious Bungalows and Villas
One thing that families always appreciate in a hotel room is space! Those staying at Pelican Hill will be happy to hear that the smallest room is a spacious 847 feet. Each bungalow features a private terrace with ocean views, a fireplace framed with Italian limestone, and décor that is the finest in understated luxury.
Large families, multi-generational travelers, and those looking for extra space will fall in love with the villas. Massive two-, three-, and four-bedroom villas ranging from 2,193 to 3,581 square feet feature the best of everything including huge patios with expansive ocean views, private garages, plenty of privacy (the villas are in a guard gated area to protect the rich and famous, or just regular folks like me), full kitchens, large living areas, plenty of room for the kids to run around (or ride their scooters as my kids did!), and personalized service from your butler. That's right- your own butler! Run out of diapers at 10 at night? No worries, your butler can get them for you! Want someone to come in and cook a personalized meal for your family? Your butler can arrange that! As a matter of fact, your butler is happy to make any of your requests a reality, as long as they aren't illegal or immoral. Just imagine the possibilities…
Complimentary Extras
Staying at Pelican Hill is not cheap. Rooms start around $400 per night, but the bungalows truly are a great value. Unlike many luxury resorts, you aren't nickel and dimed with resort fees and hidden charges. Internet is complimentary, self-parking is free, use of the house cars (a bunch of Escalades and one sweet Bentley is included), and even usage of the spa facilities is complimentary! While my kids were enrolled for a morning session at Camp Pelican– the resort's kids club which has its own kiddie pool, sandbox, and covered yet heated outdoor patio for enjoying crafts in the fresh air- I was happily relaxing in the sauna, whirlpool, and quiet room (a luxury in itself to any mom) while sipping on refreshing spa water.
Another complimentary extra that every family staying at Pelican will definitely want to enjoy is the Beach Experience at my favorite beach in Orange County, Crystal Cove. It includes
- Complimentary round-trip coach service
- Set-up of complimentary beach chairs and umbrellas on the sand
- Food and beverage service on the sand from The Beachcomber Café
- A Complimentary Adult Beach Bag for two with two towels, two bottles of water, sunscreen, Smashball paddles and ball
- A Complimentary Children's Beach Bag with two towels, two waters and assorted sand toys
You haven't really experienced pampering until you have experienced a beach day like that!
Whether you watch the sun set from your patio, the Coliseum Pool, the 18th green, or Crystal Cove, you will be doing so surrounded by beauty, style, and of course, the finer things.

I'm a firm believer in showering children with books because they open new worlds and educate, whether directly or indirectly. My own childhood was bookcentric. I grew up with fairytales, both Disney and European, bible stories, Aesop's fables, Amelia Bedelia, and Blanche, the Blue-Nosed Witch. Eventually, I moved on to Nancy Drew, Sweet Valley, Sweet Dreams, and Christopher Pike.
One thing lacking in my reading education was Filipino books. The only times I would be exposed to Filipino books were in school, when we'd be required to read Filipino folktales and legends. Fortunately, there are a lot more Filipino books these days, so I'm able to play catch up. My daughter has a lot of Filipino books, too, written in Filipino, English, and sometimes with no words at all. And because the 32nd National Children's Books Day is coming up, here's my answer to the NCBD Blog Tour question about my favorite Filipino children's books.

I enjoyed my time in Boston at Harvard University Law School at the Ancestral Health Symposium. Much obliged to the leadership of the conference for allowing me to speak there!
The talk was recorded, but unfortunately it won't work well because there was no way to record my live writing on the Powerpoint slides! It will seem that I am merely talking about this very complicated slide without reference! That's the problem!
So, in order to reproduce the talk, I gave a seminar lecture to my students that are taking my seminar on Appetite Regulation as part of an overview. I even got to pontificate a bit more on this version since I wasn't limited to just 40 minutes in my class! So, I spoke for nearly 1 hour and 42 minutes! I hope you'll enjoy the talk. I would certainly love the feedback!

As the topic says today I had the chance to go to Teotihuacan (pronounced Tea-o-tea-wha-con). It was the coolest experience ever! We are allowed to go once before the end of our mission. This time I was invited to go so I will still have on more chance to go before the end of my mission. Tt was so cool! but before we get today lets talk about the week first! we just worked a lot f and WE BAPTIZED AGAIN!! So here is the story with that:
Last month when Elder Lopéz and I arrived her in Tlaltenco we had a lesson with a recent convert and in that lesson we find out that this ladies daughter had been to church every week minus one Sunday and was ready to be baptized. So we invited her to be baptized and then we talked with our Zone Leaders and they said that she needs to attend church 3 more weeks and we can baptize her! The next lesson we invited her to be baptized with a date and she accepted! she came to church every Sunday after. The week of her interview we were preparing for her interview and baptism. A few days from her interview she and her boyfriend broke up. She was crushed, this came out of no where and without explanation. He sent a text and said they were through and all that. So we were slightly worried, but the night of her interview she showed up and she had her interview. Then this week she got baptized! It was so cool to see her change!
Other than that the week was going good, and then last night we got a call saying that today we were invited to go to Teotihuacan! And that it would not count for my permission and so we went! It was the coolest thing ever! We had a guided tour with the Book of Mormon!! It was so cool to see all the ruins and climb the different pyramids! I think the weirdest part about it is that there were a lot of Americans there (tourists) and they started to talk to me in clear English and I will say it was a little hard to talk to them after talking Spanish the last 5 months! But it was cool! at first and the Elder from my group, Elder Huefner and I, were like there are white people and they speak crisp English......THEY ARE AMERICANS!! it was supper different!
It was truly amazing today and I did my "window shopping" today to know what I want when I go again! the only thing that I bought was a Mayan calendar for 20 pesos! that is like $1.50 there in the U.S
I hope all is well I love you guys and am looking forward to emailing next week because we have changes again and it sounded like the president was convinced that I am training this next cycle. So I will know if I am training or not tonight! that is because if I am then I go to Chalco tomorrow for a new trainers meeting! that is why we know a week before changes! And we are also getting a new zone/splitting a zone! so I will have all that next week!
Love you all y yo espero todos tienen un buen semana!

The following contains MAJOR SPOILERS for the "Smallville" episode "Siren."
It's superhero against superhero as The Green Arrow (Justin Hartley) makes his long awaited — and long overdue — return to Metropolis and goes head-to-head with The Black Canary.
In season six, Oliver Queen brought a new dynamic to the "Smallville?" setup. Not only was he a love interest for Lois Lane (Erica Durance) but The Green Arrow created a lot of inner-turmoil for the corn-fed farm boy Clark Kent (Tom Welling). Namely, with his abilities should he remain at home and protect his love ones, or does he have a higher calling?
With that in mind it comes as no surprise that his return to the series comes charged with the same super-powered tension that made the sixth season of "Smallville"? a joy to watch.
Hartley is so very capable of carrying a super-series such as "Smallville"? and his billionaire status on "Smallville"? radiates a coolness that the young Superman will never have. He's sauve, dashing, well educated and has a knack for navigating the morale ambiguities of domestic terrorism. Dressed in an uber-cool hoodie (with matching glasses) and armed with more bows than Robin Hood, The Green Arrow brings a new excitement factor to the series right when it needs it most.
Why hasn?'t he got a show of his own?
What Worked
This is what "Birds of Prey"? could have been without the Meta-human stories that doomed the series from day one. That series had so much potential but was instantly crippled because of the same freak-of-the-week approach that made the freshman season of "Smallville"? unbearable to watch. Thankfully, Al Gough and Miles Millar learned from their mistakes? in this outing, Black Canary retained at least some of her comic book appearance and the Canary Cry was given some level of credibility (with absolutely no attempt at an explanation for her abilities).
It is also an interesting twist that Lana (Kristen Kreuk) and Lionel (John Glover) are now the same — both harbor a deep burning obsession for Lex and have been fascinated by the life of the last son of Krypton. And finally having it voiced was fantastic as each character tries to outmaneuver the other.
When Lois discovers the truth about Ollie's alter-ego, her moment of realization carried with it everything fans of the couple have been wanting. The only downside is that this is just a one-episode guest spot for the emerald-clad archer and aside from adding a new member to the JLA, the entire purpose was obviously designed to open Clark's eyes to what Lana is going through after her affair with Bizarro. Which is a bit of a shame because Lois and Ollie are far more entertaining than Clark and Lana. And so it comes as no surprise that the real breakthroughs with the couple comes from Lois' breakup with Oliver.
What Didn't Work
With Oliver Queen back on the scene, who really cares about the latest melo drama from the Clark-Lana relationship? Part of "Smallville's" strongest attributes is the versatility of its character relationships but as of late all of these have lacked any kind of push behind them. Clark and Lana is now finally becoming stale since Lana gave up her quest to bring down former hubby Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum), and Lois' office romance with Editor-in-Chief Grant Gabriel lacked any kind of emotional drive that is the normal trademark on the series.
Giving Credit Where Credit Is Due
"Siren" was written by Kelly Souders and Bryan Peterson and the episode was directed by Kevin G. Fair. "Smallville"? stars Tom Welling, Kristen Kreuk, Michael Rosenbaum, Erica Durance and Allison Mack.

The long-standing file-sharing news site TorrentFreak has shared its 2015 piracy numbers, and we've got a new/old winner/loser with Game of Thrones. For the fourth year in a row, the HBO mega-hit is the most-downloaded TV show on the internet. An estimated 14.4 million season five downloads were tracked through BitTorrent.
In June, the season finale was downloaded roughly 1.5 million times in the first eight hours it was online. It broke a record when more than 258,131 people were clocked sharing one version of the episode at the same time. Lower-quality 480p downloads are statistically more popular than the hi-def 720p and 1080p versions.
"More than half of the downloads occurred in the first week after the show aired and the total exceeds the number of traditional viewers in the U.S.," TorrentFreak writes. "The Walking Dead and Big Bang Theory complete the top three with an estimated 6.9 and 4.4 million downloads respectively."

Here is is an awesome video about snowboarding, go ahead and take a look at it and see what you think.
Today we are going to be talking to you about the most fun activity to do at our resort. With this we are going to take you into the wintertime. Everybody knows that the country that we are in holds very big mountains. And that is why we you're going to say that the best activity to do is snowboarding. Forget skiing, that is a thing of the past now is the time to bring snowboarding the credit it deserves. Anyway, let's get back to the task at hand which is telling you why snowboarding is such a great activity to do at our resort.
We have one of the greatest ski lodges in the world and people come all of the planets to come snowboard the awesome deep powder snow we get every single year. For us, they call it champagne powder for a reason. It is so light and fluffy that you cannot even form a snowball with it. Something that is very important when it comes to writing in powder snow because you wanted to be so light that no matter how many people read through it, it will never get packed down. That is something that is good here because we get millions of visitors every year to come ski on our slopes.
Another reason that we recommend snowboarding is because it is a good time for the family to get together. There is nothing that will bring your family closer than activities in the snow. Something about the smell just brings a very cool vibe in and lights up everybody's life.
Let's teach you a little bit about how to snowboard.
The first part we want to teach you about is how to stand up and slide on the board. There are a few things you have to do before you can be prepared to snowboard. First off, you need all of your snowboarding gear. That means you need your boots, your helmet, you're bored, here bindings, your pants, jacket, goggles, and gloves. Once you have all these pieces of equipment on you are ready to start snowboarding. The next thing you want to do is get on your snowboard. Once you're on your snowboard, then you can practice sliding down the hill by side sleeping on your back it. Do you do that it is now time to do AC turn get on your snowboard. Once you're on your snowboard, then you can practice sliding down the hill on your back edge. Once you were done with that part, you are now ready to start Learning how to turn. The first turn you are going to learn is a see turn. That is when you slide on your toe edge and form a C motion. Once you have mastered that turn it is time to do the reverse with your nack edge.
Once you have your heel edge turn down then you can start linking the two turns together. When you link them together you will create an S turn which connects your heel and your toe edge simultaneously. In other words this is called carving. Carving is a type of turn where everything is fluid and flowing together. When you're carving you want to make sure that you're only turning in your edge and not sliding with the bottom of your board when you turn. It takes quite a long time to master how to carving to snowboard, but after some time you will figure out how to get it done right. Once you have learned how to car going to snowboard, then you can start getting into the bigger things like balmy downhill really fast speeds, and doing crazy big tricks. You will start with the 360, and then learn a backflip and so on. There are so many crazy things you can do the snowboard that it is insane, and our resort is the perfect place to snowboard in the winter because it has some of the best powder snow in the world. So make sure to come visit our resort this coming winter and do a little bit of snowboarding. We promise that when she do it once you will be hooked forever.
now good luck with your adventures snowboarding and we wish you an awesome day!

TIME 2 LEVELUP Presents The Brand New Platform For The Web
Categories: Press Releases
New York, NY, USA - TIME 2 LEVELUP is an amazing site for all of those people that have decided to step up their game and learn something new for a change. It's an amazing resource both for newbies and professionals in the field. Starting a business these days can be a daunting task and many of us are suffering a lot because we don't have the necessary experience and the courage to make the first step into the world of the self-starters.
The Business Behemoths have thought it was necessary to finance such a platform for the posterity. They understand that the business is the blood that circulates through the system of the country and just by doing that they can truly reanimate this great nation from the brink of death. There are many ways that people can approach the online marketing but the levelup is required in order to understand the full picture and not to make the same mistake that those people before us made when starting out. It could save people a lot of money and time in the process.
There are many sites that say they are capable of doing the same that the TIME 2 LEVELUP does. Only such a platform is the real deal and no other can compare to the greatness that this site brings to the ordinary people that have decided it's high time to grow out of the status quo. Only the self-starters that have known the bottom can rise up to the levels of greatness that haven't been reached before. Those people have the right motivation and the desire not to be where they have been in the past.
One can truly earn more than six thousand dollars per month on the web and there are these Business Behemoths that have already reached the required level. They are now happily living in their mansions and driving huge cars. One that has lived a modes life for all the time being can know what it is to step up the game in such a radical way. Use the levelup as to be at the top of the game. There are many other mechanisms that can be interpreted the right way and used in the business as to earn even more money. Check out the final draft of the tips and tricks to understand more about the movement.
