You made the mistake and now, your afraid to face this day. Your thoughts are racing through and through. You wonder if your family looks at you as a disgrace, but you'er mother takes you and reasures, your very much loved in grace. Even though your much to young for this breathing little thing this has become. You couldn't just throw it out like it was a peice of trash. So you grow up and take the path that led you to your best mistake for years to come.
On a slope graced with green White marble stands in proud salute For beneath these engraved pillars of memory Lie the resting places of heroes A solitary green fir looks down As if sheltering the lost and the taken So many names, from all walks of life A father, brother a girlfriend or wife On a sunny day, they glow radiant like their lives On a dull day, they stand out against the greys For the living, life goes on Tomorrow is another day
A dedication to my grandpa, i love you and miss you, Your legacy lives on within my heart The sun can shine So bright, it makes you blind Fooling, deceiving. Very misleading . The world telling you it's a good day With just a simple ray. Penetrating your mind Telling you to leave all that behind. So you leave it … Searching for anything to find. To fill that hole in your heart ...with something kind. So you go for a stroll in a park And see a dog with a playful bark. As you step near You start to grow in fear Foam in its mouth You notice your head dropping south Chin down And start to frown. You realize it's not so sunny anymore Rain pours No more birds soar. Drop to your knees And freeze Start to cry. Then wonder why. Why do I feel this way? Looking for answers, you go to the bay. Watching the storm come in, you hear someone say, "Remember what I taught you, You have to be strong. Find the right In the wrong. Everything will be okay. Some days will rain. Some days will shine," Looking around to see who it may be You continue to listen to the voice from the sea, "some days you need to stop everything And pray. The Good Lord will take it away. I've always been your strength Strong for you and yours sister both." As you realize who it is You start to cry, from sadness… And bliss. "I know you miss me… And I miss you too. No need to cry, Oh Catelyn, oh me oh my. But just always know I'm here, In heaven watching over you. If you ever need me. You know where I'll be. Watching over you from the clouds. No need to worry. Don't stress so much. Life happens. It peaks And it stinks.. Given , I wish I was down there to talk to you. But it's all in God's plan. Everything will be for the better. Now I'm sorry I have to go, Check on your sister and cousins you know Whenever your feeling rough Whenever life gets tough Remember what I taught you. Rain may continue Life will happen in different Venues But go dance in the rain Let go of the pain. Enjoy the life God granted you …it won't last forever. Don't plan out the future God has his plan Live his will out Not yours Remember your still a kid, So smile and I love you Catie did" Tears rushing down your face Tears of joy or sorrow You don't really know. Remembering what your grandfather taught you, With his strength You stand up Something in your chest starts to bump Your heart, it's whole Alive Beating once again. Pain is gone And you live on. Dancing in the rain With only life to gain.
Around that table, picture the scene Self appointed leaders if you know what I mean What were the topics on the Agenda that day The Jewish race is about to pay Who gave the right for this decision that's made Who has the right to cleanse and degrade To decide who lived, to decide who dies Another chapter, I still wonder why They came in the day they came in the night Women and children pulled out of sight Herded aboard like cattle and sheep Many a family awoke from their sleep Dazed and confused as they are taken away Where will they be at the end of the day From their warm houses and their warm beds What must be going through their heads As they travel through days and through the night Up ahead, they see lots of lights They depart the trucks and board the train Their faces scared under the strain Asking questions from family and others Generations, sisters and brothers Why are we here, where are we going Windowless carriages with no way of knowing We come to a stop, soldiers aplenty Towers and wire, topped with sentries What can this place be they have taken us to As we head to large gates as they shuffle us through Families separated, herded in file Women and children, not one did smile Taken to rooms where our heads were shaved Is this the way humans behaved Clothes discarded, as we enter the shower No signs of water no signs of power Doors slammed as we are all crammed in History will recall this evil of sins As we stand in the dark, chanting Jewish faith Can hear the voices can't see the face Noises above, do the showers start The event has begun that tells us Humans apart Questions and sighs, as walled vents show daylight Some thing is falling then their slammed tight A strange aroma starts to fill the air As all around are screams of despair Twenty minutes have passed and the quietness is rife Two thousand people, two thousand lives Pellets called HCN, or Hydrogen Cyanide Contribute to this Genocide http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/war-2.php
After the quiet we all have to go Dragged and carted by the Sonderkommando To be dumped in pits covered by lime A race to dispose by it's Human slime Auschwitz, Buchenwald & Dachau slaughtered Many a son, many a daughter Experiments on children women and men Some aged 90, many under 10 In 45, their end was near, how many alive would reappear As Russians, British and US troops Chased the Hun to their German roots Each camp reached showed it's sordid past Where millions of me, were massively gassed In Auschwitz, to this present day Birds don't fly, no animals play The reminder is all for there to see Those terrible days what happened to me It's 1948, our Nation is born From histories past, populations torn To all who survived I wish you well And our new born world, called Israel http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/war-2.php
I remember the first time, You came to my house, All we did was sit on the couch. We sat and held hands and watched my little sister dance. I don't know about you, But I had fun, Welcome to my life, It's day number one! The second day you came, We sat and we talked, Then my little brother asked you to go play basketball. It was dark outside, And it had just finished raining, You fell in my pond, And spent most of the night complaining. I don't guess I can blame you, I'd probably feel the same, If I were soak 'n wet, On my second "date". You had to borrow my dad's pants, which of course were way too small, Quite frankly I think we both agree, That they didn't fit at all. I don't know if all of this you recall, But on "date" number two, I had a ball. Over the next couple of months, It seemed you had become, A BIG part of my family, For you were my first love. We have a lot of memories, We had a lot of fun, But once again I'm only one. Now that you're free again, I have one question I'd like to ask... Is your love for me held within?... Or do you wish to keep your freedom, which you finally have at last.
just reach your hand out to the sky pull your loved ones back to your side lets get to say one more goodbye for we never wanted them to go away and die as now the days and nights lay in such sweet disguise so let us once again our lord stare into their illumating eyes as we reach out for them in your broad horizon sky and get to hold and kiss them even if their not by our sides for if this is however feels when we die then I'd like to be that angel in that sky so I can just reach out right back and wipe their tears too from their eyes Tribute To Our Loved Ones On The Other Side May You All RIP
Dear Lord I come as humble as I may Asking you to give my little sister strength That she will need to make it thru the day. I know the road ahead of her is going to be tuff give her faith in knowing that in you God she can trust I know it's not easy for her and she's going thru so much I ask that you give her guidance Lord and let her feel your Loving touch I can't begin to imagine the pain she must feel But when I look into my sisters eyes the hurt Is all to real So Lord I come to you as humble as I may Asking you to give my little sister strength to make thru the day
We lost more than just a Dad that day We lost half of how we came to be We lost we four girls first love We lost our Best Friend We lost more than just a Dad that day Our Mom lost her Soul Mate, Her other half Our children lost their Papaw We lost our family's foundation We lost the glue that held us together We lost more than just a Dad that day We lost the Strongest man we ever knew We lost the man we looked up too We lost we four girls Teacher of many things We lost more than just a Dad that day We four girls lost our Hero We lost some of our Light We lost part of our Heart We lost part of our Soul We lost more than just a Dad that day We lost some of our Courage We lost some of our Strength We lost some of our will to fight back We lost some of our will to carry on We four girls lost more than a Dad We lost more than just a Dad that day
Please don't cry over my casket For I am not there Please don't cry at my grave My soul has been set free I know it's hard not to cry I've been down that road one to many times I have no more pain I have no more sickness And I would not change a thing As I walk threw the gates of Heaven Mom Dad our brothers and sisters Will welcome me with open arms Here I am free of that pain Don't blame yourself It was my time to go home This is where I'm supposed to be Don't dwell on things which you can not change I will always be in your heart I will always be watching over you When that day comes for you to come home I will be there to welcome you With open arms And walk you threw the gates of Heaven You will be greeted by our family & friends Who came home before you Until that day I will be watching over you
On Sunday March thirty two thousand fourteen, my sister lost her grim battle to cancer, she was much younger than I; nobody would believe that she fervently prayed while waiting to die... who gave such strength to endure pain, if not her faith of believer? I stood by her touching her forehead to offer some consolation... she tried to smile, but was overcome by pangs of desperation. If horrid fate had cut abruptly her life, prayers provided endless comfort; and accepting death as a relief from suffering, she cherished that thought! Farewell, Catherine...even the March gloomy sky cries to express its ample sympathy for someone with moribund eyes! A treasure you have left: gems that gleam as the eternal stars, and each one of them reflects the gentle smile of your shining grace that everyone saw when you opened those warm arms... and by loving everyone, you taught us the meaning of an embrace! Farewell, Catherine...find joy in that celestial place above the earth's sphere, there happiness is heard through songs that praise glorious love, not fear! We'll remember those delightful moments you shared with us... when joy shone on a face that did not know the bitterness of tears! Yes, they are imprinted on these weeping hearts as the words of Virgil who commemorated the brave souls that accomplished great things never forgotten by fleeing time... isn't your story of indomitable courage for us to read and admire?
You've been thrown left and right, Crying to yourself every night, Thinking all has gone wrong, & you won't be giving up after long.. You've been heartbroken One Two many times: From old boyfriends, To lies; Father walked out, Baby killed by mistake; Your mom has disowned you, But she still shows you lust… Everybody knows the truth, The pain that you do not choose; They see what you show, But see me… I, T'Keyah Wilder, I already know… You've raped and thrown from left to right; Crying to yourself every night; Everybody saying they understand, But you know you're the only One who knows your pain ; On this land… It's a matter of time, Before you kill yourself, Stressing yourself, Hurting you and everyone else; Blaming yourself for, Mistakes not purposely made; Crying every time you feel like you just got Laid, You want the true love, Love shown from the heart; Honestly, Coming from your big sister; I think you need a fresh start, Easing your pain with nicotine; I'm surprised you're not Sippin lean… I know it may be hard, To forget about the past, But there's one thing; I must ask from you and I Want this to last; Promise me, you'll try your best To stress less, & pray more… Listen to God; Put him above… All; We're not close like we used to be, But you know I'm just a phone call, Away… Not far from you.. But I wish you'd realize, This too… Stressing is not working, Cause death, the devil, lies, & fear are lurking.. Promise me; You'll try to be the best you can be… Dear Little Sister from another Mister! <3 RiP auntie bby ; djF .
Broken hearts Black as tar A sister's love burned away Forever replaced with irreversible hate Reach for light before the night forever takes Your soul away Fight the night, seek the light Sisters' love Can be an unbreakable bond A soul slowly baptized In Lucifer's detestation Chipped away until only the shell remains Once sisters bathing in the rays of life Separated, in pain, for losing the way One sister reaching for the other The other sister stretching her hand down Down into the very depths of hell Were Lucifer holds her very soul And basks in the very pain He so easily created Lucifer prince of pain King of darkness Walks among the broken hearts Seeping in his blackened tar Until the shell is all you see And the soul is but a memory
June 18, 2013 our world was Forever Changed We where a few minutes from home When we got the call from our baby sister Said we need to get back home We need to come as fast as we can drive Mom really needs us Something's wrong with Daddy The whole way we drove 80 Hoping & Praying we'd make it back in time Our Family & Friends were weeping By the time we got to his side We knew then our Daddy had been taking And our hearts they were breaking We never got to say Goodbye We each softly kissed that man We four sisters climbed in his bed We laid down beside him And cried just like babies For our world was Forever Changed
GROUND ZERO Today as I stand here, With your name engraved not just on stone But in the hearts of millions who thank you For not letting them cry, I feel proud that it was you… We wish you were here, There's not a day we don't think of you. There's not a minute we don't miss you. But we're glad you ran into death So that a thousand others could walk into life. It was not your duty, You weren't meant to be there, But you took it up, Did what you had to do As a citizen of the global world. The little ones will never know What a wonderful person you were. But they'll always know that You were a hero… How you died for the greater good… Tears, grief, pride, longing - a blend of everything. Its been ten years, ten long years But the memory's still fresh and cutting. It still hurts to know That you could be here had you stayed back. But you didn't and that's made you a hero. You ran straight into it While a thousand others were running away. Your death is history…. Millions died with you But you stand out 'coz you made your choice. As I stand here, I know that a decade ago, today You were here somewhere, Running into a cloud of dust and ashes Searching for the smallest sign of movement To bring them back to life. Somewhere between the despair and hope You forgot to breathe… I pray every day that History would rewind itself Back to that fateful September morning, Not because I want to hold you back… But because I want to come with you… It would have made a difference. I know it would have… I know you're with me In my dreams, in my daily life Laughing at my blunders, Guiding me through hardships. My guardian angel… On this September morning, Not exactly the same as before, Here I am telling the world That my twin brother died Saving the victims of 9/11.
"Anna, put on the shoes your dad gave you." I obeyed. He had given them to me for my birthday before he Was taken away. I haven't seen him since that day. But, mom tells us that we'll see him again someday. Melancholy had masked my mom's face all morning. My brother and sister sat on their bunks with sorrow. It began to run and grow down their pale pastel cheeks As mom somberly told them… "Your sister and I are going away, promise me you'll brush your teeth and always pray. Peter, you take care of your sister, you're the man of the house now. It's not that bad, oh my beautiful babies—don't be sad. I love you!" "Let's go!" as the guard pushed me and my mom. She picked me up and placed me in her arms then harmoniously hummed my favorite bedtime song. Then, we walked into a chamber. She said "Close your eyes" and that's the last thing I remember.

I got mad. Didn't know how to use my energy. So I made this song on the piano. I want to sing it with my brother when he's better. I hope he does get better soon. Dedicated to David. Just been so angry lately. And so sad. . . ----------------------------------------------------------------- Verse I: (David) I was alone What can I say? I was lost Couldn't pray I was trapped In their games I regret it Everyday Verse II: (Laura) I was jaded By my sin Never sweated Anything Couldn't sleep Couldn't dream I was scared Of everything Chorus: (David) Within me lies a battle A war I just can't fight alone Can you hear me now? Will you hear me out? Before I lose the struggle I'm begging for some help right now We need to take a stand I need to be a man Laura: Your heart is in my hand Both: (You) I will not fight alone Verse IV: (David) I'm losing faith Can't find the way Can't erase The things I say I see the world Instant pain! If I'm anything I'm insane Verse V: (Laura) Don't talk that way! Just look at me! You are stronger Then I'll ever be! I pulled you in I pushed you free I was foolish Please come back to me Chorus: (David) Within me lies a battle A war I just can't fight alone Can you hear me now? Will you hear me out? Before I lose the struggle I'm begging for some help right now We need to take a stand I need to be a man Laura: Your heart is in my hand Both: (You) I will not fight alone Within me lies a battle A war I just can't fight alone Can you hear me now? Will you hear me out? Before I lose the struggle I'm begging for some help right now We need to take a stand I need to be a man Laura: Your heart is in my hand We'll never fight alone Never Fight Alone
A newly found passion, a newly found love In there eyes the other was sent from above An engagement after only four days Does God work in mysterious ways? No. I say its the foolishness of the young Like unprepared lyrics badly sung Don't they understand the commitment they've made? Because responsibility and obligation have now been laid "Do I think they'll make it?" Honestly, no But that doesn't mean for them to pack up and go Loves are funny and tricky things Whoever knows what's on the other side when the doorbell rings Caution is important and in great need Love can be a really good or extremely bad deed So this is what I say to my special friends Don't be surprised if it isn't those perfect ends
His family pretended not to cry But both his sisters had no heart to spare; They said they loved him, yet it was a lie. The blazing sun one summer day drew nigh; Its orange radiance it could not share. His family pretended not to cry. There was a man in hell beneath that sky-- Discerning now that care, like warmth, was rare. They said they loved him, yet it was a lie. All that his soul could utter was a sigh; The shattered saints in Heaven said Lord's Prayer. His family pretended not to cry. Like sunlight, his disease bore down to dry Emotions spent without concern or care. They said they loved him, yet it was a lie. Upon the desert ground he lay to die-- Addiction was much more than he could bear. His family pretended not to cry; They said they loved him, yet it was a lie.
For Maxine Sister, was there forgiveness for she who bore you? For us, your siblings and sometime charges? For all who would not help, but hastened your demise? The marble coldness of your corpse, to my touch, is like an electric shock. The limbs, the torso, with sudden strangeness, now bear you slight resemblance. You feared all pain, but died without complaint. Who can fathom what you felt? Was there a last, sharp stab? A welcome to oblivion? Or even an awareness of your loss? Or was death no more spectacular than a tire deflating, slowly, quietly, unrecognized? And was that the shame of it? That your life ended, so early, so silently, and death was no extravaganza?
Woke up one morning It felt just like any other Or at least so I thought I guess I was young I was naïve I felt a bit restless My pockets penniless And my girlfriend was cheating But that was nothing Nothing compared to what I felt When I learnt later that morning That you had scaled up to the skies It was that dreaded day at the end of November You left for us ever But every time I close my eyes Your image starts to materialize Slowly and painfully I now realize I realize I will never see you again But many a night I fail to sleep As I try to wish away the pain They say men don't weep But it's hard to hold back these tears Oh how I miss my big sis She taught me not to doubt myself You taught me how to walk tall How to believe in myself Self discipline, self confidence She was the turbo drive of our family The front propeller Our umbrella A mother, aunt, wife and sister I get my solace from The Book And The Book says A good name is better than sweet perfume And the day of death better than the day of birth My heart still hurts when I think of you I miss you sis we all do I never knew I could ever feel this way I look into the future and all I see is emptiness
Sitting in a chair and watching a movie I get a phone call, She's dead, my little sister tells me, and I drop the ball. you are really gone, I can't believe how this can happen, You didn't have to go, I wish I could of dropped in. Hearing and seeing all the tears that are being poured out for you is very sad, This day will be remembered in yours and you two little angels forever and that's not bad. Not being able to see you any more will be hard but ill think of something to occupy my self, But till than tho, shine bright for our God and save me a crown a big shelf. Dedication to: Alina Bukhanstova and her two little angels. PS: R.I.P, you will be missed.
I can't hear the words as they come from my mouth I can't hear the screams as they work their way out As I write all is seen is a blur and blank moment and Once recovered sensed the words were written,not Even a look to see what was written only to know it Was there.Sleepless night,taunt filled faces horde my Dreams.Have this made me fall so low no longer am I Am I able to stand on my own to feet.How many times Will you make me cry before claiming only to being a Witness in a crime,your crime. Putting on that face Working the crowds with amazing easily,how I hate you Yes all the thing I think about revolve around you. How many times have I witness myself wound my self With your blade? As though under a spell doing as order Without a cry to the world what made me so diligent ? But no longer can you be a witness,No longer can I be A witness to these crimes that been committed.Be us both Sinners be us both lovers be that we both be cursed We shall witness our sins become whole and the love in Which we share spread further and further like the flames Of hades. May there be peace for sinners in the next world. We are both witnesses and at the same time We are both sinners one day to become consumed by our Own darkness how far will we fall until that moment comes? May we be good may we be bad may we fall may we live may May we die or carry on we are the Witnesses We are the Sinners To this world and the next.
Is It God We Trust? Or Leave In the Dust? As our courts remove God from this great nation. We are left with a confused and lost generation! As God is taken away from our public schools. A huge tide of immorality is what "rules." The Bible is often mocked and discarded. It was on it's principles this country was started! Just about anything of God seems to get scorned. So many "rush" to worship many ungodly forms. As God's name is often tossed and thrown out. We tend to forget what HE is all about! Too often, his plans for living are tossed and abused. No wonder, there's many who are lost and confused! As people forget God and worship the fallen creature. They look to themselves and "glorify" their features. Many ignore God, and get involved in deep addictions. And with this, come disease, heartache and afflictions! As God looks and sees this nation "bleeding." It's his righteousness, that we need to be seeking! If we would humble ourselves, he would hear our prayer! He loves all of us! And he really does care! Won't you come to HIM, And invite him in? Won't you allow him to be your master and friend? He brings strength and nourishment to the soul! It's only in him that we can be made whole! By Jim Pemberton
My parents taught me the Christian ways. I was taught to obey what the Bible says. I was proud of my parents! I really was! And loved them so much… Just because! They meant everything to me! I was proud! Until one day... There appeared "a dark cloud." It was like a "darkness" hovered above. Leaving their marriage empty of needed love! Though they were together many years. There were many cracks that soon appeared. I say a once happy home soon destroyed. Being with one another…. They no longer enjoyed! How could this happen! I had wondered… To see a happy marriage "totally plundered As sin crept in... And allowed to prevail. Very soon this marriage simply failed. May this be a warning for me and you… That our commitment remains faithful and true! If your marriage is heading toward separation… Please seek God for a healing and restoration! If your planning to have a divorce.. Jesus' love can put it on the right course! He can replace the brokenness and hurt within.. And can put your lives back together AGAIN! By Jim Pemberton
If she only knew what she could do? We all see the problems that have blemished our door Missed holiday dinners where she left an empty plate Promises that were never kept Most of us would never dare to speak of it away from the family But I must dare to speak of her it hurts my heart so She left on a trip to nowhere and didn't look back Sure she thinks we are stupid blind at that All her lies and phony tales trying to hide the unbalanced scales Her dreams failed to see her through so the pills just grew They grew a place to hide away from us They grew a place to settle at best But now they've taken over her life She fights with everyone she once cherished and enjoyed She has grown to be more and more demented And the constant need for drama and disorder The younger members in the family don't ask for her anymore She just drops off presents when she feels like it at our doors No warm family interaction it's just too hard for her to do Why she needs to save her energy for her family in a bottle that just grew She's always conniving and planning to take something for free While she settles for less and goes on a taking spree If she only knew what she could do with a prayer from God? Her addiction would break through And we'd be a family not split, and not so captive and blue Written for the Unmentionables contest by Debbie Guzzi (This poem was about my sister's addiction to pills!)
I was waiting for you With an open arms Your arrivals was such a happiness That I was longing for You left this world Before you even seen it This was the deepest sorrow I ever had It really tear me apart I had so many dreams for you That just gone with the wind Without achieving anything The bible says... ...never ask the Lord why But, everything that happens Happen for a reason I never get the chance To tell you that I Love you Neither to hold in my arms I never had the chance To prove to you That I am your protector Your role model A shoulder for you to cry on Someone that you can rely on I was so happy to receive A new born in our family But the day that I welcome you Was that same day that I say... ...goodbye, farewell to you forever You now belong to heaven May your soul rest in peace You will always be love and missed sadly May the Good Lord Bless and keep you always I wrote this poem for my little sister who died during birth.
A Better Life I don't know why she hides, I don't know why she shivers, I don't know why she cries, I don't know why she quivers, Daddy's girl is all alone, And I don't know how to help her, Daddy's world is all but blown, And I don't know what to tell her, What happened to her confidence, And her self assured way, Which used to be so prominent, In all she did or would say, Who stole my little girl's heart, And drove her to such confusion, She now slowly does her part, As if all she has is illusion, She knows I would kill any other man, For doing such harm to my little girl, But this is much more than I can stand, As it has forever blown apart my world, They took 'steps' to the next level, And now they each look to me in despair, I warned them each to be careful, But the forbidden fruit they shared, Now I look at one without trust, Yet I still love my son so very much, I still hold her distant as I must, But she needs Daddy's healing touch, Why do I have to be the bad guy, When my children need my help, I pushed one out and I still cry, While I can't help her help herself, There is no way to win here, And my tears won't stop falling, I have lost them both I fear, And my fears won't stop calling, I don't know what to do anymore, Or how I can help either of them, Both children my heart cries out for, But the truth is neither can win, And for this my darling kids, I am so sorry I can't decide, Which to disown or which to kiss, When I am actually on both your sides, So I pray that both her and him, Of whom I am so very proud, Do not give up and become victims, Who wear this pain like a shroud, I pray both of you hear my advice, Get over this hardship and understand, This lesson with its terrible price, Is one where you do as best you can, To forgive and move on from here, Without Dad having to choose a side, And to let go of all that you fear, If you want to grow to have a better life.

You came unexpectedly, and i was surprised, you smiled and placed your hand on the glass and cried. I leaned my head against the glass and told you i am sorry, i whisper through the phone line, ill start a new story. You knew i was innocent but you still didn't believe me, the only person i thought that would stay by my side but you couldn't be. Mom standing by your side and not wanting to talk, i got really upset that you came at all cause i didn't want to see you walk. I needed you, when i was in need, i was there for you when ever you didn't want to bleed. I loved you and i cherished you with all my heart, but before you left your words hit me like a really sharp dart. You said i failed you, you cried to me and i knew it was true. But i needed you to understand me, but you went your way and upset me. The glass is now empty and i cant find you even with the fact that I'm out, i tell you i love you but all you do is shout. I've lost you for good this time, so i think i have to do one more crime.

Bluebird House and Tall Coreopsis
Summer Garden
This weekend I sat on my porch and painted the bluebird house across the herb beds as it was surrounded by one of our native coreopsis - a tall variety that reaches almost 10 feet (Coreopsis tripteris). I obtained the seed many, many years ago from the NC Botanical Gardens. I planted a few seeds, but oh my gracious, has it ever become a 'bit!' invasive. The yellow flowers are relative small for coreopsis - and the flower stalks are somewhat short as well. The leaves are in threes and broad and it grows at our woodland edges in mostly dry soil .
The original planting was about 10 feet away - and the plant formed a large clump that invaded other parts of the fenceline. The seeds have spread to other parts of the garden, and other 'clumps' have begun to form.
I think what make this a particularly challenging plant is keeping the clumps a bit shorter than 10 feet and constrained. I've cut this particular cluster back TWICE this summer, and yet it has already flowered as tall as the bluebird house.
The bluebird house -- empty now -- had only one clutch this year -- due I know, to six cats who seemed to enjoy sitting in that cluster of coreopsis! Sigh -- makes me wish we could all get along a bit better since those cats are certainly well fed! LOL
I kept an impressionistic look to this painting, and kept the petals lighter than they are in person to denote the high temperatures and hot sun.
It's been a brutal beginning of the week with current budget cuts changing schedules, plans and futures. We're all hanging in, but I'm told there's more to come. For now, my schedule, already hectic and full, has a new element which will make commitments made difficult to keep. We're busy working out details. I do know that my Internet time will be cut ... at least during the week.
Meantime, we forge forward, and enjoy the flowers -- while they're in glorious bloom!

Beautiful Lin and you have captured the hot sun perfectly. And I loved hearing about the cats in a circle around the bird house -- only hope they are slower than the birds!!
PS A friend called me last night from my former company and they had, as she said, a bloodbath there -- 80% of the dept. has to leave, and soon. Jobs being sent overseas yet again. So sad what is happening in this country. - 18 August, 2009

Beautiful painting and it so tells the story of heat and summer. I am sorry that you are having to deal with the cuts, especially anything that will affect your blog time. On the light side, use that time to create your wonderful art.

How to Make Caesar Salad
Did you know that Julius Caesar had nothing to do with the invention of the salad that bears his name? The credit for this delicious dish more properly goes to Caesar Cardini, a restaurateur who came up with the idea out of a combination of necessity and creativity. The story goes that Cardini wanted to serve salad to his restaurant patrons but found himself short of fresh ingredients to mix with his romaine lettuce. He raided his pantry and, using what he found there, concocted the recipe that went down in history. Other chefs began making Caesar Salad because of both its unique flavor and its economy--except for the lettuce and the egg in the dressing, it required no perishable ingredients.

WILKES-BARRE — Patricia Moreton was shot to death eight years ago, but it seems as if it happened just yesterday, her father, Patrick, said Friday evening at a candlelight vigil for his daughter.
Family and friends still have fond memories of the Wilkes-Barre woman, but the nightmare that was her death, and the years her murder remains unsolved, continue to haunt them.
About two dozen of Moreton's family members and friends gathered near the south entrance of the Luzerne County Courthouse Friday evening, the eighth anniversary of her death, to remember the mother of three. It's an annual tradition the family vows to continue until the person who took her life is brought to justice.
Moreton, then 35, was found dead from a single gunshot wound inside her residence at 340 Hazle Ave. on Jan. 31, 2006. Her death was ruled a homicide, but no one has been charged in the case.
"They told us years ago they knew who did it," Patrick Moreton, 71, now of Buffalo, N.Y., said before the vigil began.
But he and his daughter Cathy Stephens said police didn't have enough evidence.
"I always felt they were blowing smoke in our face," Moreton said.
"I miss her every day," Patricia's mother, Karen Spielmann of Wilkes-Barre said. "I think about her all the day."
Stephens said she still struggles with her sister's murder.
"First of all, she was my sister," she said. "And this person is walking the street."
Moreton said he went to the police two years ago to ask about the case.
"Nobody knew anything about it," he said, noting the officers who worked the case had retired. "I know somebody out there knows something."
He said if anyone does, they should contact the newspaper or Wilkes-Barre police.
"I know it would give us a sense of peace to know that person was caught and at least paid for his crimes," he added.
Moreton's case is one of more than a dozen unsolved murders in Luzerne County since 2003.
Why she was murdered is a mystery to the family, too.
Another of Patricia's four sisters, Debborah Ankudovich, said Patricia would give anyone the shirt off her back.
Their father put it a different way.
"If you met Patty and talked to her for 10 minutes, you'd be glad to have her as a friend," he said.
But Ankudovich said it feels as if nobody cares, except for family and friends.
And those family and friends will keep meeting every year to remember Patricia, for as long as they have to.
"Every year we hope this will be our last year, because we hope somebody was brought to justice," she said.

KIRKUK, Iraq, Jul 01 (IPS) - The Kurdish flag is flying high in the wind from the rooftop of an old brick house inside Kirkuk's millennia-old citadel, as Rashid – a stern-looking young man sitting behind a machine gun – monitors the surroundings.
Rashid commands a small unit of a dozen fighters, members of the Kurdish armed forces – known as the Peshmerga – deployed to the oil-rich province since June 13.
On June 12, the Iraqi army evacuated its positions in Kirkuk province after its troops had earlier conceded control of the country's second largest city, Mosul, in the face of advancing Sunni militant groups led by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS).
"Since we have been deployed here things have changed," says Rashid, a Peshmerga for 25 years, with a sense of pride. "It's safer now and people can go out and do their daily business."3
However, although the deployment of thousands of Peshmerga troops has in fact brought relative calm to the city so far, trouble appears to be brewing.
Rich in natural resources such as oil and home to a mixed population of Kurds, Arabs, Turkmen and Christians, Kirkuk is no stranger to conflict. It has been at the heart of decades of armed and political struggles between the Kurds and successive Iraqi governments.
Since the Kurdish takeover there, armed Shia groups have been flexing their muscles, a move that has infuriated the considerable Sunni Arab population in the province and could be a potentially destabilising factor, while insurgent activity by Sunni militants continues in some parts of the province and has left tens of casualties behind so far.
The local office of the influential Shia cleric Muqtada Sadr organised a military parade on June 21 in which hundreds of armed Shia men walked through the streets in downtown Kirkuk.
"The parade was meant to send a couple of messages. One was a message of reassurance to all Iraqis that there are soldiers to defend all segments of the people," says Sheikh Raad al-Sakhri, the local representative of Sadr, sitting on the floor of his well-protected Khazal al-Tamimi mosque. "And the other was a message to terrorists that there is another army ready to fight for the sake of the country if the military fall short of their duties."
Al-Sakhri might claim his men will protect everyone, but the Sunni Arabs here are not convinced.
At the peak of Iraq's sectarian strife in 2006 and 2007, Sadr's Mahdi Army was seen as responsible for summary execution of thousands of Sunnis in the capital Baghdad and other areas.
"A question for the local government is will it allow Sunni Arabs to carry out a similar (military) parade," says Massoud Zangana, a former human rights activist turned businessman, who alleges he has been threatened with death by Shia armed groups. "The number of Sunni Arabs is more than the Shia in this city."
Zangana owns a television channel called Taghyir – Arabic for 'Change' – that broadcasts from Amman, Jordan, which some Iraqis refer to as the "Revolution Channel" for its steady coverage of Sunni protests two years ago and of the current fight between Sunni militants and the Iraqi army.
Local media are also buzzing with reports that the central government in Baghdad has delivered a couple of arms' shipments via the city's airport to Shia militiamen here.
Officials in Kirkuk or Baghdad have not confirmed those reports.
"Giving weapons to official security forces is okay but providing arms to one side to fight the others is wrong," says Mohammed Khalil Joburi, a Sunni Arab member of the Kirkuk Provincial Council, wishing that the news of arm deliveries is not true.
The local government in Kirkuk is run by the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), a major Kurdish party that has close relationship with Iran. Many in the local media speculate that the PUK-controlled administration in Kirkuk had possibly agreed to the military display by Shia groups under pressure from Iraq's powerful eastern neighbour, Iran.
Despite the appearance of relative calm, tensions are high in Kirkuk and security forces are visible throughout the city.
By appearing to favour Shia armed elements, Kurds might risk alienating the local Sunni Arabs and potentially push them toward cooperation with ISIS and other militant Sunni factions.
In Bashir, a village in southern Kirkuk populated by Shia Turkmen, local Shia militias and Kurdish Peshmerga forces have clashed with ISIS and other Sunni militant groups.
In the western part of the province around Hawija district, the Kurdish Peshmerga have repeatedly fought against ISIS and its local allies.
Kirkuk has not been spared suicide attacks, a trademark of ISIS and jihadist groups.
On June 25, a suicide attack killed at least five people and injured around two dozen others.
The challenge before Kurds who effectively rule most parts of the province is to prevent a spillover of violence and sectarian divisions in other parts of the country into Kirkuk.
Kurds view Kirkuk as part of their homeland, Kurdistan, and hope they can maintain their current military and political dominance in the city.
In the latest Iraqi parliamentary elections in April, Kurds won eight out of the 12 parliamentary seats allocated to the province.
Kirkuk's vast oil fields have the capacity to produce around half a million barrels of oil per day and Kurds consider Kirkuk central to their aspirations to build an independent state.
Massoud Barzani, President of the Kurdistan Region, recently said that he will deploy as many forces as needed to maintain Kurdish control of the contested province.
On June 30, Barzani asked the head of United Nations Mission to Iraq to organise a referendum in which Kirkuk's residents can decide whether they want to be part of the Kurdistan Region.
The official territory of the Kurdistan Region includes Erbil, Sulaimaniya and Dohuk provinces.
But after the Iraqi military's recent defeat at the hand of ISIS-led Sunni militant groups, Kurds have expanded their control over large parts of the neighbouring Kirkuk, Nineveh, Diyala and Salahaddin provinces.
Now in charge of Kirkuk, the challenge for Kurds is walking a fine line between Shia and Sunni, Arab and Turkmen populations to maintain order in the medium and long term.
In a deeply-divided city facing the threat of jihadists close by, Kirkuk's Shia and Sunni leaders who spoke to IPS appeared to have no objection to Peshmerga's control of Kirkuk, at least in the short term.
In the heart of the city's historic citadel, Rashid and his young men are well aware of the difficult task lying ahead. "We are here to protect all groups … We don't wish to fight but this area is surrounded by ISIS and all sorts of other groups," says Rashid.
"We don't know what their goal is, but we are on alert here."

Will this filter also fit the ESAM6900 Delonghi PrimaDonna Exclusive?
I am excited to have received my Super Automatic Espresso Machine, DeLonghi PrimaDonna Exclusive ESAM6900 and would like suggestions regarding the best Stainless Steel "Frothing Cup" to use. I'm trying to decide between the 20 oz and the 24 oz...or, is a frothing cup...
Any way to get this beautiful machine, DeLonghi PrimaDonna Exclusive ESAM 6900, cheaper than the stated price? Do you see a price reduction in the near future--one that may be convincing and justifiable to my husband who is a non-coffee drinker...but does love hot tea and chocolate! :-)

Technical Data |
Acrp30 (Adipocyte Complement-related Protein of 30kD, Adiponectin, AdipoQ, apM1, Gelatin Binding Protein 28, GPB28) |
Description: Adipose tissue is the largest reservoir of fuel, storing energy in the form of rapidly utilizable triglycerides. Adipocytes synthesize and store energy in periods of nutritional abundance and mobilize lipids during starvation and other times of need. In order to accomplish these complex tasks of energy balance, adipocytes express many genes, including Acrp30 which is involved in lipid metabolism and glucose homeostasis. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications have not been tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA (Direct and Indirect): 1:5000-1:10,000 Western Blot:1:5000-1:10,000 using ECL; Suggested blocking and dilution buffer is TBST with 0.05% Tween-20, 5% skim milk; Incubate 1 hour at RT. Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile 40-50% glycerol, aliquot and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. |

The Minimalist Dilemma: Utility vs Beauty
By Diane Balch on June 06, 2012
Featured Member Post
Part of simple living is clearing away the objects in your life, most especially in your home, that are quite literally: just taking up space.
Things that you are not using... not even noticing anymore, but yet, because of their accumulation you start having thoughts:
We need a new house, at least an addition... I need to spend a lot of money on organizing bins to fit all my STUFF better into my closet... etc.
...when in fact you really need to say, "Goodbye." to the things that have outgrown their usefulness... or maybe never fulfilled your expectations to begin with.
"Having nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful."--William Morris
What to keep? The things that you use daily... even weekly... even seasonally if you do actually use them and need them for a specific purpose. If you host Thanksgiving dinner every year you can't chuck the turkey platter... just try to think of some other uses for it through out the year.
I subscribe to many wonderful minimalist blogs: Loving Simple Living, The EveryDay Minimalist, The Minimalists to name a few. Their advice, especially having to do with mental clutter, is usually very thought provoking.
But I image their homes having bare white walls and stark Scandinavian furniture. It's a look... but it is not me. (I know they all don't decorate like this.)
Image: Martin Mai/TCS via ZUMA Press.
This is were William Morris's ideas come in... keeping things that you believe to be beautiful has a value too... it is not practical. It is aesthetic.
For me Simple Living is about focusing on the most important things in your life: health, family, friends, food and home. Focusing on these things and finding the most pleasure in them.
I don't just eat healthy... I spend time learning about new cuisines and cooking techniques, so I and my family, can enjoy eating healthy food more.
So, when I decorate my home yes, I don't over crowd rooms with furniture that I bought cheap at Target or Walmart. No, I keep items that fulfill the needs of my home, but that are also pleasing to the eye and are made well, so I won't have to replace them:
quality not quantity.
I try also to think about what William Morris and the Arts and Crafts Movementpromoted so long ago.. craftsmanship.
If you can find and afford something that is made... no not just made: crafted by an individual.. this can both food and furniture... buy it.
Support a person in living a life in which he gets to put love into objects and food... that he gets to spend his days creating art.
I once visited the Shaker Village in Hanover, MA. For Shakers craftsmanship was symbolic of their devotion to God. Everything they made was infused with spirit, they strived for perfection to bring heaven to earth.
Craftsmanship is so pronounced in their work that when I walked into my first Shaker house my jaw dropped at the site of the door hinge... yes the door hinge screamed craftsmanship. So did the door knobs and the coat hooks... nothing in this home was built without care... nothing mass produced. The soul of the owner echoed in every room, every corner, on every floor of this HOME.
I would love to fill my house with objects that I love and were made with so much love that the imprint of the artist's soul is engraved in the work and emanates through out my home.
Support craftsmanship.

Keiwit Zone Project Underway
ALPINE, UT, March 6, 2014 /CNW/ - Clifton Mining Company's partner Desert Hawk Gold Corp. has broken ground on the construction of a heap leach precious metals operation on the Kiewit Zone. A picture of Rick Havenstrite, President of Desert Hawk, on a dozer officially starting the construction process, is now available on Clifton's website under the new tab Kiewit Project Pictures. The funding for the project is already in place. The large scale mining permits and bonds have been issued. We expect that construction will be finished and gold recoveries are expected from the project before the end of this year. Desert Hawk expects to recover as much as 20,000 ounces of gold annually from the project. Clifton will receive a five percent (5%) net smelter royalty return from all minerals recovered from the Kiewit Zone Gold Project.
Clifton trades on the U.S. OTC: (CFTN).

#2304472 LH is the New Bearbow: The Real Staff DPS Build for Manly Men
Posted Dusty Friday on 08 March 2014 - 10:43 AM
The thing that matters is for you to enjoy playing your class, and thus obtain a natural strive to become better at it. Some will bring out their calculators and start calculating how much dps can this or that pull, but that's really so speculative that it's nearly worthless as a piece of information. FGS 55k dps per two swords? That's not only wrong, it's wrong by a huge margin. The only way this can do this much dps is if you literally leave it on auto-attack 1 and sit and shoot w/o doing anything else, and that is for ONE sword. None of your calculations include important factors such as potential to stay in melee or ranged for prolonged periods of time, the addition of utility spells that can be cast in between your dps rotations, ability to provide support in the most pressured moments and overall FLEXIBILITY of the class and ability to adapt quickly. Not being able to push a target to a wall also tends to happen quite rarely.
A thief might slap a few backstabs for 25k, but he will never surpass the mobility, support and control abilities of an elementalist. I also really don't care how each class does in 1v1 scenarios, because dungeoning is about teamwork (unless you challenge yourself at doing it alone).
At the end of the day people who kick others because of their class are weaklings who cannot grasp the concept of different classes and who don't deserve to have me, you, or anyone else in their party. I've been kicked before for being an elementalist or ranger, which is downright hilarious since these classes deal the best stable dps in the game. (ranger example from Brazil)
Oh, and let's not forget that this game is supposed to be fun before anything else. It doesn't provide that much ground for hardcore gaming, while it's a very relaxing and potentially challenging game - it really depends on how players decide to play it. But clinging onto numbers and readily accepting that one class is weaker than others, and should therefore not be picked for a group, is really fallacious as a concept and shouldn't happen at all. Each class can excel at something and it's painful to see some get completely written off as possible team members. Again, the best dps doesn't come from a specific class, it comes from a specific player.

You shouldn't need to worry about that. As long as nothing is actually wrong with the card (which does happen sometimes) and the temperatures are within normal limits, gaming for many hours on the card should not hurt it in any measurable way. It should last for years like that; and if it doesn't, that's what warranties are for.

Such a fix would be finding an actual group PvE role for stacking toughness. I can't see it myself as the only such role that springs to mind is a tank and this runs counter to the way they have said they want to split the pea. As such toughness will always be a WvWvW stat.
You say "viable". Clearly it is viable to run knights as you do it and manage to complete encounters. I'm not quite sure what you want out of it. More damage? You know that you could get more consistent and overall damage by sacrificing toughness and increasing power and crit damage, the choice is up to you. However everyone just doing damage, and damage being the only thing that matters at all, is exactly the problem here. It's boring and antisocial, the game needs reworking to force players to work together in more complex ways than just everyone clumping up in a massive indestructible zerg and all encounters being a nail that you bash with the same hammer.
Roles = trinity or other boring shit.
Roles also never ever been balanced.
Only thing that can be done is make dps just less important. More events based on some mechanic (ooze part in aetherblade) or other puzzles.
Getting rid of timers and other dps races. Add invu phases to bosses with survival elements. It can be done, but there is one problem here.
It will change game to some arcade jumping game. And also ppl will hate it because ppl in majority sucks with everything harder than spam 1 to win.
Marionette showed us how bad players are in general. Simple event, simple as hell dps check but still ppl just fail.
Majority of players "kite" bosses because they are so hard. They don't speedclear everything on corners because they don't how to use skills and why even this dumb tactic works.
Telling that content is too easy is just dumb. It's old content. You've learned it, you know every attack of the mob, and you know exactly what skill to use now.
It's hard to balance game for everyone. Hardcore want hardcore, harder fights to the limits, more hard events. Casuals just want to have fun. Failing 100% on some something isn't fun.
As for the active/passive defense.
Even the more tankiest of tanks on wvwvw, use passive defense to surive time between active defense skills.
What makes them tanks are skills and build with lot of heals, invu, condi removal, stability blocks. Gear just helps survive CD time.

Oppenheimer76, on 28 January 2014 - 01:52 PM, said:
Bare minimum is 20 per wurm due to the fight mechanics shy of a total rework of the encounter. Even the bare minimum is unrealistic you would lack the damage needed to get the kill, which is where the scaling really comes in.
I'd also point out that no one, not even Desolation, at the time of this posting has beaten this boss again. They will inevitably be forced to loosen it up in some way it's just too much for an open world encounter. The real test in my opinion will be if they can put arrogance aside and actually balance this or if they just blame the players for not doing enough "self organization".

And acting like a few seconds is a big deal and calling builds useless is laughable.
And i never said it was more damage i said more versatile, and that the damage in a team wont make a big difference which it wont. Maybe 1min from a full fractal run.

Why do you keep saying this? Boon duration affects the boons applied to both you and your allies. Stop spreading false information, especially when it takes literally ten seconds to figure out the truth of the matter. I've already corrected you on this once and you're still saying it.
And again: The issue isn't that defense sucks. The issue is that relying on passive defensive stats to kill a boss is shitty game design. It works fine in PvP like in tournaments and world vs. world because there's points to be defended and held. But when your objective is solely to kill something, applying unblockable attacks or unmitigatable damage is just cheap. It's stupid. Stipulating that you need X amount of toughness in your build to complete content is a _gear check_. The very thing you guys don't want in this game.

Where I see the value of Guru is in the depth of discussion allowed, moderation here while strict is unbiased and it's great to have a place where such discussions can and do take place that is less official and doesn't have the ring of 'state run media' whilst still having the ear of the developers

I just love that Order of whispers rifle... looks so damn awesome
Here is a close up of her face with a different head piece
Aaaaaand my most recent project (and current pride and joy <33), my Charr engineer: Gromyak Griefbacon, a haggard old ex-legionaire with a penchant for ascalonian trinkets, and explosives. He's kind of... a mercenary scholar/explorer/adventurer, and often sells his cryptological and speleological services to the priory..
When I first made him he looked like this:
Nothing to write home about... then the new faces come out... and I gave him a complete overhaul and I have to say... the results aren't half bad )
Close up of his face:
I finally found a chest piece THAT WASNT A TRENCH COAT (dont get me wrong, I love trench coats but I wanted something different for him) -- the rest is Priory stuff, I love the strong lines on the gloves and boots, with a CoE shoulder pad, for a "lighter" look
Finally fully kitted out with his new Golden Pistol and Canthan shield
He likes to burn things....*evil laugh*
and spends his r&r time studying up at the priory maps, looking for more clues that lead to hidden human ruins, ripe for looting

I wasn't talking to you, stop being a baby.
Also gearchecking is just a way of filtering out the super bads so your dungeon run doesn't become total shit, no one saying it's going to automatically result in a team of 5 pro pugs.
Oh so now we have bads and super bads? Gear checking defines ones ability to play the game on their class? No gear checking just provides their running the suitable gear( exotic/ascended, max level and suitable stats- by suitable I mean no a cleric armour on a Mesmer...) and I never said you get 5 pro pugs from having correct gear. I've already stated you can have a warrior running a meta guild in full zerkergear and still be crap. Same for a Mesmer in cleric gear still be crap. We're not really talking about gear. Were really talking about why thieves, Engis and necro get the bat when it comes to fractals, Arah and other dungeons. People are too narrow minded because so much " guardian does this and Mesmer can do this and warrior can do this" everywhere that people only choose those plugging and then complain when the run goes to crap. I take in mind that every class can do something, some classes do it better. Well necro, thieves and Engis have a lot to bring to the table for party...people need to just stop with " it's not meta, your not on a meta build, your not wearing correct armour" and just play the game...for fun...regardless if your an elitist or a casual gamer, gaming is for fun not for throwing people off because they can't play what they want.

Arizona Senate Sides With Governor, Michigan Rejects Medicaid Expansion
Two state senates took different directions in their latest votes on expanding Medicaid.
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) was able to garner enough support from fellow Republicans in the state Senate to pass a budget that includes the Medicaid expansion, despite the rift created among her party since she backed the president's optional provision in January to enroll more low-income Americans in exchange for additional federal funding, according to a report by the Arizona Republic. The bill now goes to the House for a final vote.
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder (R) had less cooperation from GOP senators. The Senate passed its budget with no language regarding the expansion Gov. Snyder supported, according to a report by the Detroit News. The House also rejected the governor's bill but proposed an alternative that would make more low-income residents with a four-year time limit for nondisabled adults. Gov. Snyder and others doubt HHS would issue the waiver necessary to implement such a policy.
