Use 2 Oblivion Ring to get around big threats you did't counter and to keep card:Azor's Elocutors on the board.
For better tap down use 3 Feeling of Dread instead of Downpour , since you don't run Snapcaster Mage
Put Counterflux in the sideboard, only real use is against control; With zombies in format looking really strong Dissipate is better because of exile.
Liking the idea, +1! Check out my RTR deck Izzet Control
Sideboard some Redirect s for when you play against burn decks?
Palisade Giant just NEEDS to be in here.
-3 Murder -3 Diabolic Revelation theres no way ur pulling of 2 black summons in this deck; u don't need revelation to search for ur advisor if ur whole deck is bounce and draw, the whole point of the deck is to stall, u can stall until u draw him.
+1 Feeling of Dread +3 Cyclonic Rift +2 card:Sphinx's Revelation
My only issue is it feels like you need more actual draw, not just the card:Sphinx's Revelation. something like Think Twice .
Considering that card:Azor's Elocutors is you win condition, I'd definitely recommend 4 of the card.
This is a control deck and your mana curve tops out at 7, I would run 25-26 Lands.
I really, truly think that this deck has a place for Temporal Mastery . You have instant speed draw for higher miracle chances, the lategame stall to hard cast it, and it would absolutely wreck someone's gameplan to have that come in on their turn when you have 3 filibusters on.
I'd also say +1 Supreme Verdict and -1 Cyclonic Rift . My playtests have shown that your early game is harder than lategame (mostly thanks to card:Sphinx's Revelation). Supreme Verdict comes in a turn before card:Azor's Elocutors does, prepping you for lockdown turn 6+, and is very unlikely to hurt anything of yours that is precious. Cyclonic Rift is an amazing save turn 7+, but you have trouble getting there without a boardwipe. You need to see Supreme Verdict in every game, but not Cyclonic Rift .
I'll continue playtesting this deck, and +1. I think it has some good potential.
Also, I feel Detention Sphere is better than Lyev Skyknight . I was always happy to get a sphere, but generally felt so so about the knight.

- Introduction: Below 100 Initiative

Editor's note: There are few technologies in the history of law enforcement as revolutionary as ballistic armor. Introduced in the early 1970s, it immediately contributed to officer safety, and almost as soon began to improve. Sadly, too many officers go without it, either because they choose not to wear it or because they can't afford it. The time has come for armor to be as common as gun belts and badges. AP Photo/Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, JoeAppel
Vest for Life gets quality, used vests in the hands of officers who need them. Among the first requests came from an officer in New York state. To request or donate vests, visit www.vestforlife.com. Photo courtesy Travis Yates
Proved its Worth—Body armor works, but only if officers have it & wear it.
Last August, RAND Corporation released a study of the effectiveness and benefits of police officers wearing ballistic armor. Among its findings: Wearing armor more than triples the likelihood an officer will survive a shot to the torso. Despite that, the study found that approximately 25% of police departments don't require their officers wear ballistic armor. Of those departments, many don't even provide armor to their officers. Approximately 236,000 officers in the U.S. today don't have armor, according to the study.
A tenet of Law Officer's Below 100 initiative is "wear your vest." The question arises: Is the fact that officers are getting shot while not wearing armor the result of a lack of armor availability? Or is it a lack of compliance—that is, are officers in departments who have policies in place and who are issued armor simply not wearing it?
"People presume that those who aren't wearing armor are in departments that don't require or provide it. But that's not necessarily the case," says Tom LaTourrette, the study's author and a senior scientist at RAND. "So where do we prioritize our efforts? My calculations are based on the assumption that increased armor use would come from increased deployment, but people have argued that we also need to focus on compliance. We don't have any good data on this."
LaTourrette studied 561 line-of-duty shootings between 2004 and 2007. Among the 262 torso shootings studied, officers who were not wearing body armor had a 68% chance of dying; of those wearing armor, there was a 20% chance of dying.
The study estimates the benefit and cost of extending body armor use to all law enforcement officers not currently wearing armor. The findings show that outfitting all police with armor would result in a benefit that is nearly twice the cost, indicating that such an effort is strongly justified economically. But, of course, it's more than dollars and cents.
American police culture must address this head on: Nearly half of the 51 officers killed in the U.S. in 2011 have been shot, at the time of publication. Meanwhile, 236,000 officers in this country are hitting the streets everyday without the proven protection of ballistic armor. Bottom line: Wear your vest. If your department doesn't have vests, put together a plan to get them.
Vest for Life—A program addressing an urgent need
In 2008, the Vest for Life program shipped three vests to the Philippine National Police Department. Just days after receiving the vests, an officer—who hadn't had a vest in eight years of duty—was shot in the chest during a vehicle stop. His life was saved by this donation. When the news made it to the U.S., Vest for Life began hearing daily from American officers who also went without vests.
The thought of a police officer not being provided a bullet proof vest to wear on duty sounds ridiculous to most of us. When you discover that a significant number of police officers in the U.S. aren't provided this basic piece of safety equipment to keep them safe, it goes beyond ridiculous: This is an outrage.
"I really couldn't believe it," says Capt. Travis Yates, who co-founded Vest for Life. "Our first request was from an officer in the state of New York, and his fiancée was literally crying about the situation, and I thought, well, that's probably a unique case. And then the requests just continued."
Vest for Life was founded to provide immediate help to officers in need. Used vests are donated to the nonprofit by police agencies replacing their vests. Donations are sent to police officers working without one. With more than 1,800 vests sent to officers to date, along with two officers shot and saved, demand is growing from officers in need.
The program has not been without controversy.
"Many agencies are hesitant to provide vests and actually choose to throw them away," says Yates. "But you have to look at who we are trying to help. The majority of these officers will never be able to afford a new vest and they're working the streets without one. We consider our efforts a temporary solution for them and we encourage them to pursue a new vest as soon as they can."
Ultimately, Yates says that he and his partner, Lt. Clint Reck of Muscle Shoals, Ala., will never send a vest that they themselves would not feel comfortable wearing. With two lives saved, the proof is there: No officer should go without a vest.
The organization is financed by individual donations and all of the funds go toward the shipping of vests across the country to officers in need. Vest For Life is a 501c(3) nonprofit organization. For more information, visit www.vestforlife.com.
Helping with the Cost—Resources for getting armor
For information on obtaining grants to pay for ballistic armor, visit the Office of Justice Programs' Bulletproof Vest Partnership/Body Armor Safety Initiative: www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bvpbasi. There you'll find the information you need to submit a request for grant funding. Note:
• New this year is a requirement that all agencies receiving assistance must have a mandatory-wear policy in place; and
• Applications must be filed by the agency and cannot be filed by individual officers.
Another option: Speak with ballistic armor manufacturers about help with the purchase. Often, they are knowledgeable about the grants process and sale representatives might even be able to offer discounted pricing in some cases. There are also state grants available to consider. For more information, visit www.armorreport.com/body-armor-grant-programs.
Finally, tap into the power of social media to see what's available to you. Social media might seem frivolous to some of you, but the truth is, it's a force multiplier. With very little effort you can reach thousands of officers and benefit from their experiences. Try out Law Officer's social networking site at http://connect.LawOfficer.com. Post a question, search the forums and see what you can find.
Crawford Coates is the managing editor of Law Officer.

President Barack Obama met with activist-actor George Clooney at the White House Tuesday to discuss U.S. involvement in Sudan ahead of a critical election early next year in Africa's largest nation.
Clooney is asking the U.S. and international community to take steps to prevent violence ahead of an election that could ignite another civil war in Sudan.
The Jan. 9 vote is an independence referendum that is likely to split the country in two.
Following their meeting with Obama, Clooney and activist John Prendergast said they were impressed by the president's knowledge of the issues in Sudan and his commitment to containing violence before the election.
Prendergast is the cofounder of the Enough Project, an initiative to end genocide.

I've separated out my music blog (which is now just metaltheater.com) and all of my technical programming blogs – which are now at metaltheater.com/tech. This technical one is now using wordpress as a bit of a test run.
Is there anything new going on in Lachlan's technical world? Well I've been doing a bit of work on the Intrepid Foundation's website – it's a PHP thingamebob running something called ZenCart. What do I think of Zencart? Meh. It works… most of the time. Is it customizable? I guess it is… but it's pretty hacky. At the moment I'm thinking that it would be nice to upgrade to the latest version – apparently all it takes is 3 easy steps. To summarise:
1. Download the latest version and install it into a new directory
2. Download WinMerge and compare the files in the new directory to the ones in the old directory. Copy across or merge the differences.
3. Copy the data from your old database into your new one.
No, this is not a joke. Can you believe this? What rubbish. I really don't want to do it but it looks like I'm going to have to. What makes it especially fun is that I didn't do any of the original customisations to the existing site – so when it comes to running the merge I really have no idea what's meant to be there or not. Fun!

MADRE Partner at the Launch of UN Campaign to End Violence Against Women
Posted on: Thursday, December 10, 2009
Keywords: Guatemala, Latin America and Caribbean, Combating Violence Against Women, UN
Raising the Voices of Maquila WorkersToday, Human Rights Day, officially marks the end of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence Campaign. The 16 Days Campaign, which begins annually on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women on November 25 and runs through December 10, is used as an organizing strategy by individuals and groups around the world to call for the elimination of all forms of violence against women.
This year, the UN launched the Latin American regional initiative of UNiTE, their campaign to end violence against women. MADRE partner Sandra Gonzalez traveled to Guatemala City to represent MADRE and MADRE's sister organization, the Women Workers' Committee, at the events held during the launch.
Sandra was invited speak about violence against women maquila workers. In her capacity as director of the Women Workers' Committee, Sandra has done more than just document labor and human rights violations. The organization has built a community for women workers and provides them with opportunities for empowerment through literacy classes, health fairs and sexual rights trainings.
From Sandra's presentation:
Limited access to education means that Guatemalan women aren't afforded the opportunity for economic advancement. For most women, career development won't happen in the workplace as businesses generally won't employ women who are pregnant or over the age of 35. Women are forced by necessity to work whatever jobs they can find.
Common labor violations against female workers include:
The impunity granted to businesses allows the owners to grow rich, while leaving women workers impoverished, sick and dead.
Learn more about maquila workers and the work that MADRE supports through our partner, the Women Workers' Committee.
Though the 16 Days Campaign has come to a close this year, MADRE joins other progressive organizations in recognizing that working to end gender violence can not be limited to 16 days out of 365. For women around the world, violence is a daily reality, so the work to end violence deserves daily attention from all of us.

The airplane collided with the terrain and nosed down, following a loss of engine power during an aerial application flight. The pilot reported he made two swath runs over the field he was spraying. He stated that during the turn at the end of the second pass, the engine started to lose power. The pilot reported that he made a turn to the right to avoid a farm and checked the magnetos to no avail. He stated that he made another turn to avoid another farm and trees along the flight path. The pilot reported that he decided to land in a pasture and that turbulence was encountered when the airplane descended below the tree level. He reported that the airplane impacted the ground due to the loss of the headwind. The airplane contacted the terrain on the main gear, nosed down, and spun around 180 degrees before coming to rest. The reason for the loss of engine power was undetermined.

The pilot stated that he could not remember the exact date he last fueled his airplane, but recalled that it was completely fueled. He then flew about 2 hours uneventfully. The airplane was not refueled and he departed on the planned 1 hour 19 minute flight. The flight took longer than expected due to a headwind and he said that he deviated over some clouds. During a cruise descent to the destination airport, the engine experienced a total loss of power and he performed a forced landing to a road, about 4 miles south of the destination airport. During the landing, the left wing struck trees, resulting in substantial damage. The pilot added that the accident was due to 100 percent fuel exhaustion.

Andy Farrell believes the 11 England players that featured on this summer's victorious British and Irish Lions tour to Australia will have learned some "priceless" lessons heading into a gruelling season of international rugby.
Alex Corbisiero, Dan Cole, Christian Wade, Brad Barritt, Geoff Parling, Billy Twelvetrees, Manu Tuilagi Owen Farrell, Tom Croft and brothers Ben and Tom Youngs all appeared at some point over the six-week trip, which culminated in a glorious series win over the Wallabies – the first against southern hemisphere opposition for 16 years.
Photo: Getty Images
And with England meeting in Leeds today to ramp up their preparations for the three QBE Internationals at Twickenham next month, Farrell suggested those men could use their new knowledge to buoy the squad as a whole.
"First and foremost, it is about the players," he said. "Aside from the likes of Tom Croft and Dan Cole, a lot of our lads that went on that tour were relatively inexperienced.
"Going into an environment like that was priceless for us as a nation – for those boys to see how 100-cappers like Paul O'Connell and Brian O'Driscoll have got to that level and been on four of those tours was vital. We've had a chat about that already and the boys have taken the lessons from that on board.
"Now we want to see that out on the field and transferred through to the rest of the squad. That's got to be the main thing to come out of this."
Farrell joined Graham Rowntree in Warren Gatland's inner sanctum of coaches alongside Rob Howley, something that should ensure that some of the Lions feel-good factor rubs off on England's autumn campaign.
However, with typical pragmatism the 38-year-old was reluctant to dwell on his role in such an impressive feat, especially given the new challenges that lie just around the corner.
"As coaches and players we're not too good at the history of the game because the next job is the most important," he added. "That's what you are judged on.
"You have to face the reality of every performance after it, whether that is good or bad. We tend to be single-minded in that aspect, so after returning from the Lions tour it was about the three-day camp in August, then selecting the squad and we're busy right the way through. It'll be non-stop."
Next summer, England travel to New Zealand to face the All Blacks in a three-match Test series before meeting them again at HQ in November 2014 – taking the number of clashes between the sides up to five from now until the start of Rugby World Cup 2015.
With that in mind, Farrell and Rowntree travelled to Johannesburg at the start of this month to watch the Rugby Championship clash between South Africa and Steve Hansen's charges – a truly epic encounter that eventually saw the All Blacks triumph 38-27 and extend their run of consecutive Test wins to 10 since suffering a defeat to England at Twickenham last December.
"They were clinical, there's no doubt about that," Farrell finished. "To stay composed in a top rugby arena at Ellis Park – the cauldron of Springbok rugby – and to be able to perform like that with the pressure that South Africa threw at them was great to see live. It's somewhere we aspire to be."

There's actually nothing that screams 'EAT ME, YOU ANIMAL!' like the words: 'DESSERT TASTING PLATE – SELECTION OF ALL DESSERTS'. Especially when you're 'sharing' and the other party bows out half way claiming 'FULLNESS' and you get to lick the plate… High five, self!
Where, you say? What is the location of this crime of deliciousness? Anada on Gertrude St in Collingwood. Wish I took a camera so I could visually depict the highlights. Glad I didn't because food bloggers are the lamest. Solution: I've used some clip art to create 'imagination' icons. Pretty lazy, eh?
Two things I would have liked to have known before I went and will remember when I return (which I will):
- Order the pork belly because it is the BEST PORK BELLY EVER. EVER. Not to exaggerate but if they lined up all the pork belly dishes from every menu across the country – nay the world - this one would come out number one, followed by others. That's not even exaggerating, that is the literal truth.
2. Avoid the bread basket. I know, that fresh hot stuff tastes pretty phenom dipped in oil and sprinkled in salt but it's filler y'all. Unless you're footing the bill you want to max out on tiny flavoursome morsels, not baked goods. (SIDE NOTE: If you are footing the bill, slip the 'Mixologist' a fiddy to keep that shit coming, tapas ain't cheap my friend).
Another cool thing is Anada do is tapas by the item. Which is great because it means you (i.e. me) don't have to appear all adventurous and agree to eat liver and lambs brains and stuff. Personally, I'm more of a moth-to-a-fried-eggplant-flame.
Also amazeballs is the fish racione, dish of the night IMO. So yeah, pretty awesome, you should go.

Bruce Lee Comes Back to Life in Johnnie Walker Ad
Chalk it up to CGI magic. Martial arts legend and action star Bruce Lee died 40 years ago, but whiskey purveyor Johnnie Walker has brought him -- or at least his likeness -- back to life. Its 90-second "Hail to the Game Changers" ad features Bruce Lee wandering through a Hong Kong hotel, expounding on his philosophy about how to be a game changer.

Yes. There have been a few. Generally, most think it is a bad idea to purchase an extended warranty other than Yamaha's Y.E.S.. How good a company is it? How much will they resist, or fight you, when you make a claim? Can you use it at any Yamaha dealership across the country? Or just at the purchasing dealership? All poignant questions to consider.

Hmm. I have an extended warranty through Western Service Corp. and they are an affiliate of McGraw, I also have until the 21st to cancel with a full refund. Anyone ever heard of them? My dealer, Fun Bike Center, recommended them over the YES plan but I'm getting a bad feeling about it.
Both plans would cover me for 60 months, unlimited miles and have zero deductibles. I'm thinking I should cancel and pick up the YES plan.
Any opinions?
Posted 18 September 2005 - 11:55 AM
I wouldn't recommend it. Dealerships use them because the profit is higher. The trick is that many times those 3rd party insurance companies fail and the extended warranty is useless (happened to me once). Another issue is that no one other than the selling dealer is obligated to honor a 3rd party extended warranty. With the YES contract, all Yamaha dealerships have to honor it as part of their franchise' even if you're out on the road (sport)TOURING.
Western is used by even auto dealerships. The profit margin is higher - plain and simple. I'd dump it, get my money back and get the Y.E.S. through D&H for $389 for a 48 month contract. You know Yamaha will honor it. But then, that's me and you're you. Your comfort level may be different than mine.

Not that different at all. I cancelled my 3rd party warranty and I'm going to call D&H when they open tomorrow.
Posted 20 September 2005 - 08:47 AM
Sounds like a vote for the factory gig !
Posted 20 September 2005 - 09:22 AM
Thanks for the tip Tilly.
Posted 20 September 2005 - 09:25 AM
When I bought the FJR, the dealer convinced me to go with their 3rd party warranty. Warranty coverage was provided through their designated network of dealerships. It was then cheaper than Yamaha's. The added incentive was that if no claims were filed during the 4 year duration, I can get a full refund on the contract after it expires. The catch is that the refund request needed to be made within 30 days of the expiration date.
Well, after about 3 months, I found out about the great D&H pricing. I tried to cancel the original contact but was told that there will be penalty fees incurred for early cancellation.
To date, I'm currently carrying two contracts. The dealer's and Yamaha's. Any warranty services needed will be directed towards the Y.E.S. plan. I plan on getting my refund from the 3rd party contract when it expires.

Renaa @ D&H is great. My warranty expired 9/18 and she got me set up for the 48-month Y.E.S. when I called on 9/16, and the paperwork arrived last week. There's still hope if you don't find anybody open today.

Colombia's flagship carrier Avianca Airlines plans to acquire for three additional 787 Dreamliners. The order was previously attributed to an unidentified customer on Boeing's Orders & Deliveries website and is valued at approximately $620 million at published list prices. The order brings Avianca's total 787 order count to 15 , which includes the 12 of the airplanes ordered in 2007. The total order value stands at more than $3.1 billion.
"Adding more 787s to our order aligns well with our expansion and service improvement plans for the airline," said Fabio Villegas, CEO of Avianca Airlines. "The range and efficiency of the airplane make it a great fit into our overall fleet plans and interior of the airplane will bring a unique flying experience to our passengers that only Avianca can provide."
"Avianca is one of the region's leading airlines and we are happy we can play such a pivotal part of their future growth plans," said Van Rex Gallard, vice president of Sales for Latin America, Caribbean, & Africa, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "The Latin American market continues to show signs of growth and prosperity. The 787's unmatched operating economics and passenger appeal will help Avianca continue to position itself as a preferred airline and grow its market share in the region."
Boeing has received more than 800 Dreamliner orders from 58 customers since the launch of the program.
Avianca is part of AviancaTaca Holding. Its multi-hub operating model offers passengers convenient and varied flight options, through Bogota, Colombia; San Salvador, El Salvador; Lima, Peru and San Jose, Costa Rica.

It might just be the world's only floating Christmas parade.
Each year, more than 50 boats and cruise ships festooned with strings of Christmas lights make their way through the waters around Vancouver. For 23 straight nights in December, the brilliantly lit flotilla makes the rounds, part of the uniquely Vancouver tradition known as the Carol Ships Parade of Lights.
This year's parade runs Dec. 6-Dec. 23. And as gorgeous as the spectacle is to watch from shore (it's visible from waterfront spots downtown most nights), it's even more fun to be on board.
As part of the carol ships tradition, local cruise boats invite passengers aboard for a festive night of singing, dinner and dancing on the water. Some 30,000 passengers take to the water each year for a night to remember.
Each local cruise line offers a slight variation on the same theme. Continue reading:

text: On June 29, 1995, at 1100 central daylight time, a Piper PA-28R-200, N1394T, was substantially damaged during landing near Denton, Texas. The certificated flight instructor and his 3 passenger were not injured. The flight originated at Fort Worth, Texas, at 1030, as a student orientation flight. The aircraft was being operated under Title 14 Part 91. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. In an interview conducted by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector and in a written report, the pilot reported that during the landing roll, the passenger, seated in the left seat, "applied strong uneven constant pressure" on the left toe brake. He further stated that he could not counteract the braking because the airplane was not equipped with toe brakes for the right seat; however, he did attempt to apply rudder control. Subsequently, the aircraft "skidded" off of the left side of the runway and the right main landing gear collapsed, resulting in structural damage to the right wing spar and fuselage.

text: One quick point here that I have not seen raised so far. Corpora says that the winner of the Crown list is the "Sovereign" and the consort is just that "Consort". Together they are defined as the" Royalty". The only place in Corpora that this makes a difference is IV. C. 9. The Sovereign supervises combat on the field of honor. Otherwise Corpora allows Kingdoms to set the powers of each (up to co-rulers) locally.

Where: 18 Argyle Street The Rocks 2000
Opening Hours: Mon - Fri 12 - 3pm Sun - Wed 6pm - 12am Thu - Sat 6pm - 3am
Phone: (02) 9259 5668
Website: www.ananas.com.au
Ananas is The Rocks' jazzy new brasserie. Pocketed away next to weekend powerhouse, the Argyle, and just a few strides away from the famed Sake, this place has landed some prime real estate. An interesting mix of old school French cuisine and new world glamour, this sultry newbie will wow even the most apprehensive amongst us. Contrary to the area's out-of-date pubs populated by tourists, Ananas is a cocktail, champagne and oyster bar extravaganza with an art deco-inspired restaurant and late-night supper club. It's time to join us in indulging what's on offer here, because it's all just brilliantly joie de vivre at Ananas.
You'll start with a heavy dose of charm — which may or may not have something to do with the floor's suave head honcho Jean-Paul Buhaggiar — by setting up shop in the bar. The Ruinart de Ruinart Brut ($24 glass) is a classic French favourite and the Absolutely Ananas ($15), a spicy blend of vodka and pineapple. And for serious connoisseurs? Perhaps a Domaine Delaporte Sancerre ($16 glass), a vibrantly acidic drop dominated by citrus fruit with floral and mineral notes, or the Perrin Cotes Du Rhone Reserve ($12 glass) for those after a grenache syrah blend heavy on plum with supple tannins.
Equally as considered as Ananas' wine list, is the brasserie's a la carte menu. Set within British Indian-style surrounds inhabited by leather-clad banquettes, antique pineapple-based lamps, mirrored walls and hanging bronze birds, executive chef Jerome Lagarde, offers an extensive selection of hors d'oeuvres (starters) and plat (mains) that are traditional in taste, but contemporary in aesthetic. Then there's the sterling service. Keep an eye out for restaurant manager, Francois Laran.
To begin, the cured trout gravlax with blinis and herb cream ($18) can't be overlooked if in search of French tradition. The meaty portion and fleshy texture of the trout makes the dish poignantly salty, so it's best shared. And the king crab with avocat ($28) is a creamy bud awakening option for seafood fanatics. For something more substantial try the 36 hour braised lamb shoulder with potato marmalade and lemon confit ($30) or the chateaubriand fillet with confit onion and pommes maxims ($36); both are impressive justifications of Lagarde's favour of hearty meat offerings. And, if momentarily overtaken by glutton, go for the truffle mash ($10). Two words: almost unchallengeable.
Now to the sweets. Opt for the eclair salt caramel ($12) for a stupidly luxurious, creamy-centred flavour bomb encased in soft pastry or the tarte aux pommes (apple tart) with bourbon vanilla ice cream ($12) for the traditional of all traditional. And the concluding tipple? We recommend the Chateau Prost Sauternes ($13 glass).
Ananas is a welcome addition to The Rocks' pub-centric traps and is an accomplished union of mature wine, fine food and polished design. Highly recommended.

a heart full of hopes and dreams

And you've always listened and shared
my dreams, my wishes, and my heartaches
as if they were the only ones in the world...
That takes a lot of love, Mom
I understand that now
and I hope you realize
how much I thank you...

|Wonderful Mother:
God made a wonderful mother,
A mother who never grows old;
He made her smile of the sunshine,
And He molded her heart of pure gold;
In her eyes He placed bright shining stars,
In her cheeks fair roses you see;
God made a wonderful mother,
And He gave that dear mother to me.

|Mother's Love:
Her love is like an island
In life's ocean, vast and wide
A peaceful, quiet shelter
From the wind, the rain, the tide.
'Tis bound on the north by Hope,
By Patience on the West,
By tender Counsel on the South
And on the East by Rest.
Above it like a beacon light
Shine Faith, and Truth, and Prayer;
And thro' the changing scenes of life
I find a haven there.

If I could give you diamonds
for each tear you cried for me.
if I could five you sapphires
for each truth youve helped me see.
If I could give you rubies
for the heartache that youve known
If I could give you pearls
for the wisdom that youve shown.
Then youll have a treasure, mother,
that would mount up to the skies
That would almost match
the sparkle in your kind and loving eyes.
But I have no pearls, no diamonds,
As Im sure youre well aware
So Ill give you gifts more precious
My devotion, love and care.

|To My Mother:
For all the times you gently picked me up,
When I fell down,
For all the times you tied my shoes
And tucked me into bed,
Or needed something
But put me first instead.
For everything we shared,
The dreams, the laughter,
And the tears,
I love you with a "Special Love"
That deepens every year..

|My Mother:
|My Mother, my friend so dear
throughout my life you're always near.
A tender smile to guide my way
You're the sunshine to light my day.

|As I Look Back...:
As I look back on my life
I find myself wondering.....
Did I remember to thank you
for all that you have done for me?
For all of the times you were by my side
to help me celebrate my successes
and accept my defeats?
Or for teaching me the value of hard work,
good judgment, courage, and honesty?
I wonder if I've ever thanked you for the simple things...
The laughter, smiles, and quiet times we've shared?
If I have forgotten to express my gratitude
For any of these things,
I am thanking you now....
and I am hoping that you've known all along,
how very much you are loved and appreciated.

And spanked me till me arse was wed
Me Mudder
Who took me from me cozy cot
And put me on the ice cold pot
And made me pee if I could not
Me Mudder
And when the morning light would come
And in me crib me dribbled some
Who wiped me tiny widdle bum
Me Mudder
Who would me hair so neatly part
And hug me gently to her heart
Who sometimes squeezed me till me fart
Me Mudder
Who looked at me with eyebrows knit
And nearly have a king size fit
When in me Sunday pants me s***
Me Mudder
When at night her bed did squeak
Me raised me head to have a peak
Who yelled at me to go to sleep
Me Fadder!
The Granddaughter of the author of this poem was kind enough to send in her name.

|Father What Makes A Dad:
|God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so,
He called it ... Dad

|Mother of Six:
|A man has six children and is very proud of his achievement.
He is so proud of himself, that he starts calling his wife, "Mother of Six" in spite of her objections.
One night, they go to a party. The man decides that it's time to go home and wants to find out if his wife is ready to leave as well.
He shouts at the top of his voice, "Shall we go home 'Mother of Six?'
His wife, irritated by her husband's lack of discretion, shouts right back, "Anytime you're ready, Father of Four."

|When God Made Fathers:
|When the good Lord was creating Fathers, He started with a tall frame. An angel nearby said, "What kind of a Father is that? If you're going to make children so close to the ground, why have you put the Father up so high? He won't be able to shoot marbles without kneeling, play pretend drinking tea, and kiss dolly goodnight, tuck a child in bed without bending, or even kiss a child without stooping?" God smiled and said, "Yes, but if I make him child size, who would children have to look up to?"
And when God made a Father's hands, they were large. The angel said, "Large hands can't manage diaper pins, small buttons, rubber bands on pony tails, or even remove splinters caused from baseball bats." Again God smiled and said, "I know, but they're large enough to hold everything a small boy empties from his pockets and a little girls paper dolls and jump rope, and to teach her to turn cartwheels, yet small enough to cup a child's face in them."
Then God molded long slim legs and broad shoulders, "Do you realize you just made a Father without a lap?" the angel chuckled. God said, "A Mother needs a lap. A Father needs strong shoulders to pull a wagon, to balance a bicycle, or to hold a sleepy head on the way home from the circus."
When God was in the middle of creating the biggest body any one had ever seen, the angel said, "That's not fair. Do you honestly think that form is going to get out of bed early in the morning when the baby cries, or walk through a birthday party without crushing one or two of the guests?" God again smiled and said, "It will work. You will see. It will support a small child who wants to ride to Banbury Cross or scare mice away from a summer cabin , or walk in shoes that will be a challenge to fill."
God worked throughout the night, giving the Father few words, but a firm authoritative voice; eyes that see everything, but remain calm and tolerant. Finally, almost as an afterthought, He added tears. Then he turned to the angel and said, "Now are you satisfied he can love as much as a Mother can?" The angel said nothing more.

|The Perfect Father:
|I DO know Someone who is the PERFECT Father--God Himself, our Heavenly Father. He meets every qualification for the task--listen to His words and see!
"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God...(1 John 3:1 KJV)."
"F" aithful! "Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering (for he is faithful that promised)(Hebrews 10:23 KJV)."
"A" lways there! "...for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. (Hebrews 13:5 KJV)."
"T" rustworthy! "...there hath not failed one word of all his good promises...(1 Kings 8:56 KJV)."
"H" onoring! "If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be; if any man serve me, him will my Father honor (John 12:26 KJV)."
"E" ver-loving! "...I have loved thee with an everlasting love; therefore, with lovingkindness have I drawn thee (Jeremiah 31:3 KJV)."
"R" ighteous! "The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works (Psalm 145:17 KJV)."
"S" upportive! "Fear thou not; for I am with thee. Be no dismayed; for I am thy God. I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold these with the right hand of my righteousness (Isaiah 41:10 KJV)."

|A Mother's Wages:
|If I would charge one cent each time
I washed my children's clothes,
Or tied a shoe or gave a bath
Or wiped a runny nose,
Or made a bed or acted as
Their judge or referee,
It would be possible that I
Could live in luxury.
If I were paid a nickel for
Each diaper that I've pinned,
For every Band-Aid I've applied
When arms or legs were skinned,
For every toy that I've picked up
And put back in it's niche,
There wouldn't be a single doubt--
Why, I could be quite rich.
If just one dime would be my fee
For giving them a pill,
For making meals and wiping up
The milk they always spill,
For darning scores of tiny socks,
For fixing things that break,
It wouldn't be too long before
A fortune I would make.
Although it's true I don't receive
A solitary cent,
I'm repaid in many ways
For all the time I've spent.
Their smiles, their love is my reward
For this unending care,
And I am richer, yes, by far
Than any millionaire!

|I can't tell you how many countless hours that I have spent CLEANING!
I used to spend at least 8-12 hours EVERY weekend making sure things
just perfect--"in case someone came over". Then I realized one day that no
one came over - they were all out living life - having fun. Now, when
people visit I find no need to explain the "condition" of my home -
they are more interested in hearing about the things I've been doing--while
I was away living life and having fun!
If you haven't figured this out yet - please heed this advice. Life is short - enjoy it!
Dust if you must but wouldn't it be better, To paint a picture or write a letter, Bake a cake or plant a seed, Ponder the difference between want and need?
Dust if you must but there's not much time, With rivers to swim and mountains to climb, Music to hear and books to read, Friends to cherish and life to lead.
Dust if you must but the world's out there With the sun in your eyes, the wind in your hair, A flutter of snow, a shower of rain. This day will not come around again.
Dust if you must but bear in mind, Old age will come and it's not kind. And when you go and go you must, You, yourself, will make more dust.
Remember, a house becomes a home when you can write "I love you" on the furniture....
Share this with all the wonderful women in your life! (I Just Did)

|Position: Mom:
Long term team players needed for challenging permanent work in an often chaotic environment. Candidates must possess excellent communication and organizational skills and be willing to work variable hours, which will include evenings and weekends and frequent 24 hour shifts on call. Some overnight travel required, including trips to primitive camping sites on rainy weekends and endless sports tournaments in faraway cities. Travel expenses not reimbursed. Extensive courier duties also required.
For the rest of your life. Must be willing to be hated at least temporarily, until someone needs $5. Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly. Also, must possess the physical stamina of a pack mule and be able to go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat in case this time, the screams from the backyard are not someone just crying wolf. Must be willing to face technical challenges, such as small gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets and stuck zippers. Must screen phone calls, maintain calendars and coordinate production of multiple homework projects.
Must have ability to plan and organize social gatherings for clients of all ages and mental outlooks. Must be willing to be indispensable one minute, an embarrassment the next. Must handle assembly and product safety testing of a half million cheap, plastic toys and battery operated devices. Must always hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. Must assume final, complete accountability for the quality of the end product. Responsibilities also include floor maintenance and janitorial work throughout the facility.
Virtually none. Your job is to remain in the same position for years, without complaining, constantly retraining and updating your skills, so that those in your charge can ultimately surpass you.
None required, unfortunately. On-the-job training offered on a continually exhausting basis.
You pay THEM, offering frequent raises and bonuses. A balloon payment is due when they turn 18 because of the assumption that college! will help them become financially independent. When you die, you give them whatever is left. The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme is that you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more.
While no health or dental insurance, pension, tuition reimbursement, paid holidays, job supplies or stock options are offered, there are limitless opportunities for personal growth and free hugs for life if you play your cards right. Retirement permits you to watch your own children handle this job on their own and permits you the luxury and opportunity to assist in chaos and confusion.
Forward this on to all the Moms you know, in appreciation for everything they do on a daily basis, and let them know they are appreciated.

|A Mother:
|The young mother set her foot on the path of life.
"Is this the long way?" she asked.
And the guide said: "Yes, and the way is hard. And you will be old before you reach the end
of it. But the end will be better than the beginning."
But the young mother was happy, and she could not believe that anything could be better than these years. So she played with her children, and gathered flowers for them along the way, and bathed them in the clear streams; and the sun shone on them, and the young Mother cried, "Nothing will ever be lovelier than this."
Then the night came, and the storm, and the path was dark and the children shook with fear and cold, and the mother drew them close and covered them with her mantle, and the children said, "Mother, we are not afraid, for you are near, and no harm can come."
And the morning came and there was a hill ahead, and the children climbed and grew weary, and the mother was weary. But at all times she said to the children, "A little patience and we are there."
So the children climbed, and when they reached the top they said, "Mother, we would not have done it without you." And the mother, when she lay down at night looked up at the stars and said, "This is a better day than the last, for my children have learned fortitude in the face of hardness. Yesterday I gave them courage. Today, I have given them strength." And the next day came strange clouds darkened the earth, clouds of war and hate and evil, and the children groped and stumbled, and the mother said: "Look up. Lift your eyes to the light." And the children looked and saw above the clouds an everlasting glory, and it guided them beyond the darkness. And that night the Mother said, "This is the best day of all, for I have shown my children God." And the days went on, and the weeks and the months and the years, and the mother grew old and she was little and bent. But her children were tall and strong, and walked with courage. And when the way was rough, they lifted her, for she was as light as a feather; and at last they came to a hill, and beyond they could see a shining road and golden gates flung wide. And mother said: "I have reached the end of my journey. And now I know the end is better than the beginning, for my children can walk alone, and their children after them." And the children said, "You will always walk with us Mother, even when you have gone through the gates." And they stood and watched her as she went on alone, and the gates closed after her. And they said: "We cannot see her, but she is with us still. A Mother like ours is more than a memory. She is a living presence." Your Mother is always with you. She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street, she's the smell of bleach in your freshly laundered socks, she's the cool hand on your brow when you're not well. Your Mother lives inside your laughter. And she's crystallized in every tear drop. She's the place you came from, your first home; and she's the map you follow with every step you take. She's your first love and your first heartbreak, and nothing on earth can separate you...
Not time, not space...not even death!

|Before I was a Mom -:
| I slept as late as I wanted and never worried about how late I
got into bed. I brushed my
hair and my teeth everyday.
Before I was a Mom - I cleaned my house each day. I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom - I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Spit on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom - I never held down a screaming child So that doctors could do tests. Or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom - I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom - I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.
Before I was a Mom - I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.

|A Father's Prayer:
|Build me a son, O Lord,
who will be strong enough to know when he is weak,
and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid;
one who will be proud and
unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory.
Build me a son whose wishbone will not
be where his backbone should be;
a son who will know Thee and that to know himself
is the foundation stone of knowledge.
Lead him, I pray, not in the path of ease and comfort,
but under the stress and spur of difficulties and challenge.
Here let him learn to stand up in the storm;
here let him learn compassion for those who fail.
Build me a son whose heart will be clean, whose goal will be high;
a son who will master himself before he seeks to master other men;
one who will learn to laugh, yet never forget how to weep;
one who will reach into the future, yet never forget the past.
And after all these things are his,
add, I pray, enough of a sense of humor,
so that he may always be serious, yet never take himself too seriously.
Give him humility, so that he may always remember the simplicity of greatness,
the open mind of true wisdom, the meekness of true strength.
Then I, his father, will dare to whisper, "I have not lived in vain".

|Dinner and a Movie:
|After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said, "I love you, but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you."
The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my mother, who had been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my 3 children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.
That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. "What's wrong, are you well?" She asked.
My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or surprise invitation is a sign of bad news.
"I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you," I responded. Just the two of us." She thought about it for a moment, and then said, "I would like that very much."
That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous.
When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date.
She waited in he door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary.
She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an Angel's! "I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed," she said, as she got into the car.
"They can't wait to hear about our meeting." We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy.
My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, I had to read the menu.
Her eyes could only read large print. Halfway through the entrees, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me.
A nostalgic smile was on her lips.
"It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small," she said.
"Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor," I responded.
During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation-- nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other's life.
We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, "I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you."
I agreed. "How was your dinner date?" Asked my wife when I got home.
"Very nice. Much more so than I could have imagined," I answered.
A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn't have a chance to do anything for her.
Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place where mother and I had dined. An attached note said: "I paid this bill in advance.
I wasn't sure that I could be there; but nevertheless I paid for two plates-- one for you and the other for your wife.
You will never know what that night meant for me. "I love you, son."
At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: "I love you," and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve.
Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off til "some other time."
Somebody said it takes about 6 weeks to get back to normal after you've had a baby . . . Somebody doesn't know that once you're a mother, "normal" is history.
Somebody said you learn how to be a mother by instinct. . . Somebody never took a 3-year-old shopping.
Somebody said being a mother is boring . . . Somebody never rode in a car driven by a teenager with a driver's permit.
Somebody said good mothers never raise their voices ... Somebody never came out the back door just in time to see her child hit a golf ball through the neighbor's kitchen window.

Somebody said a mother can find all the answers to her child-rearing questions in the books . . .Somebody never had a child stuff beans up his nose or in his ears.
Somebody said the hardest part of being a mother is labor and delivery. . . Somebody never watched her "baby" get on the bus for the 1st day of kindergarten, or on a plane headed for military boot camp.
Somebody said a mother can do her job with her eyes closed and one hand tied behind her back . . . Somebody never organized 7 giggling Brownies to sell cookies.
Somebody said a mother can stop worrying after her child gets married. . . Somebody doesn't know that marriage adds a new son- or daughter-in-law to a mother's heartstrings.
Somebody said a mother's job is done when her last child leaves home. . . Somebody never had grandchildren.
Somebody said your mother knows you love her, so you don't need to tell her. . . Somebody isn't a mother.
Pass this along to all the "mothers" in your life. We should also pass it on to anyone who has ever loved and/or lost a mother.
