A white dove flies gracefully across vision
Shines as transparent pieces of ivory joy
I give you a Candle of Love, for inspire and encourage you
Blown gently upon a soft warm lovely breeze
Falling slowly like a ripe apple
With sad confusion, I promise you heaven
Everything will fall into place and gives you, perfect pleasure of life
Love whispering on wings fluttering deep
It is possible to change your tomorrow, if you seek your dream today
To watch the light change i pray for your beauty to return
My arms are full of flowers, the beauty the unfathomable grace
Reborn under a promise of color inside the mist bouquet dream

While you sleep I tell you all of the things I keep inside throughout day.
Now that you can hear but not listen I find them much easier to say.
My hopes, my dreams, my fears, and everything in between
Your subconscious hears so keen, or so it seems.
My tongue is soft; I speak so sweetly
Knowing your reaction will never greet me.
Tonight will be different in what I want you to know.
It has everything to do with what I can't help but show.
I hold no claim to any religion but you've given me a place for my faith.
Somewhere it will never stale or lose its lavish taste.
You've shown me something I can see, touch, and feel,
And so before it I choose to kneel.
I know I don't say it but I miss you every day.
Sitting, thinking of the perfect words to be my choice,
Yet when you call I can't find any of the right words to say.
I'm just happy to finally hear your voice.
Even just a moment is enough to sooth my heavy heart;
Fearing the ends of conversations knowing we'll have to part.
I'll never be too far from you, always within arm's reach,
And in your days of darkness I'll be the light that you will seek.
I'll never let you leave too far from me, I'll stay close behind you in this world;
Secretly protecting what is mine, you will always be my girl.
I only want the best for you so the best of me I will employ.
Faithfully yours, I will always be your boy.
I close my eyes and kiss your soft sweet lips
And see the very best of you in loving bliss.
I see past the physical which makes you attractive
And focus on the things I can't see in which I'm attracted.
Your thoughts I'd love to hear them all.
Of the things you speak disinterest never makes its call.
My day will come, I know someday I'll be the only one.
And you I will pursue viciously,
Because I've given you the greatest gift I can give, to love unconditionally.
Yes our day will come, I know someday we'll be as one.
And you I will pursue viciously,
Because I've given you the greatest gift I can give… to love unconditionally.

Say something nice, and a short little while
She will respond with kind words and a smile.
True to her nature, she always will say
Something so nice that I cannot repay.
Bright and unique, every contest that's new
Challenges, helps, and expands us anew.
Don't know that form? Then it's time to begin;
Do a good job and it's sure of a win.
Trying a form that you can't understand?
Andrea's knowledge is always at hand.
Gifted in phrasing and rhyming for sure;
Words she has written in minds will endure.
Poems of flow'rs and a sweet little beach
Dance in the dreams of this sweet little peach!
Sijos of seahorses dance in the sea;
Starfish and dolphins keep good company.
Kyrielles of yellow burst forth like sunflowers:
Rubaiyats of robins in Spring's gentle showers.
Sonnets of sparrows and songbirds fly high
Twined with the cumulus clouds in the sky.
Sunsets of lavender scatter their light;
Sapphics of stars wink their way thro' the night.
Footle sized fireflies twinkle till dawn,
Making a fairyland right on her lawn;
Then in the morning, she wakes and recalls
Visions of dreams still contained in her walls.
Out of her window, or deep in her mind,
She will not rest till the poem she finds.
Thus, she has poems by beauty inspired;
Mixed with her skill, that is why she's admired.
{Just too late for the contest. Bummer!}

I Am a Humming Bird
So small I am, a wonder of the skies,
With wings of breathless speed I gently land
Upon bright blossoms where I find the prize
That offers me my sustenance as planned.
Oh sweetest nectar, joy of life, I find,
Among the fields in bushes, plants and trees,
In opened buds is happiness confined
To be extracted with my expertise.
I, humming bird, so small in the grand scheme,
Do make my mark in nature's simple ways,
To use my energy, fulfill my dream
And capture joy—with nectar live my days.
Among Earth's sweetest blooms I am complete
Where nature offers gifts of nectar sweet.

Humming Bird – Meaning: Joy, Nectar of Life
Copyright © Sandra Haight | Year Posted 2015
To 'ride on somebody's coat tails'
Is the most dangerous thing you can do
'Keep a stiff upper lip' is another cliché
Mine's not stiff, how about you?
'One good turn deserves another'
Turns my stomach if you must ask
'There's no fool like an old fool'
I'm quite offended by the last
'Sticks and stones will break my bones'
Can break someone's heart as well
So if somebody up and says this to you
Tell them to go straight to hell
'A penny for your thoughts' is yet another
That's pretty damn cheap I'd say
A dollar would certainly be more in line
With the times we live in today
'A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush'
Who made up this silly old verse
A bird in the hand is quite messy I'd say
Poop on your fingers or worse
So I've come to the obvious conclusion
Concerning the debunking of clichés
Refuse to use 'em coz people abuse 'em
You'll wind up much happier I say

Adorable QuiQui
A green-feathered, yellow head beauty,
that's my prized pet parakeet, QuiQui.
Even when she's often crabby and snappy,
she succeeds in making me extremely happy.
QuiQui loves dipping and diving into her bird bath,
and hanging from a perch in her cage, like an expert acrobat.
She also enjoys shaking water from her wet wings,
gazing impishly into her toy mirror wildly shrieking.
Relishing her seeds and red strawberry millet treats,
nonchalantly she ignores my sweet endearments and tweets.
But she shows off her long, elegant, tapered blue tail,
Sitting silently and contentedly unloading quite a poop trail.
And even though QuiQui never utters a single word,
I know she secretly loves me too, my little prima donna bird.

As I hear clinks of your cups
I can listen to orange sounds in your ample eyes
I can hear your obvious highs as if nearing a sea
Morning in a humming bee
You are busy at the mild harsh and tasty sound
The butter knife spreading butter on the dark dense toast
For the person you love the most
Eloquent silence all around
Soft munching sound from inside our mouth
Mingles with the wind from south
The door bell chimes its beautiful tune
Like the monsoon
Then comes the rustling of newspaper pages
The train crossing so many bridges
Combines with the rhythmic drumming of the woodpecker
The sound of your stirring sugar
Bubbling of boiled water in the kettle
They settle
In a silent sound of a loud red lily in bloom at the window
As rain falls in a crescendo
The flip flop of your sandals
Passing into your bangles clinking together
Culminating in the slurp as we sip tea
Real moments of pure glee
A great strength
Against the various wavelengths
Of the bang bark bray
Throughout the day

I sit every morning
Your voice an ointment on my soul
Even every night, I hear your sweet voice,
Serenading me into reverie
That branch, an inch from my window
you've made your home
From my room, i can see your beauty,
the fineness of your colour,
the distinctive length of your beak
In total admiration, i tried to reach out to you
But you flew!
I hear your song every morning,
when getting out of bed seem tedious
You sing encouragement into me
Even at night when i feel lonely,
you sing wonderful lullabies to me
Here is a letter to you
Just to say
Thank You!

Little song bird in my tree
singing your sweet song for me
singing sweetly, singing clear
your song, it fills me with good cheer.
Little song bird sing your song
with all my heart I'll sing along.
A gift from God you grace the earth
there is no measure to your worth.
Little song bird, wild and free
when you leave, will you take me?
Together we could soar so high
across the endless, azure sky.
Little song bird, singing high above
your song, it fills my heart with love.
little song bird in my tree
with your song you set me free.

Small bird take flight.
Open your wings, leave shelter behind.
Fear will ground you, riddle you weak.
Feel the winds, the rushing power in the breeze.
Allow the current to embrace you, ruffle your feathers as you chase the sun.
Free yourself from doubt.
Freedom is fluid.
Should I fall, how dreadful.
Should I be incapable of flight, my soul would rupture.
But should I soar, to touch the milky skyline, Oh how inspiring.
Even the smallest bird may take flight

A Chickadee flies from tree to tree,
an eagle soars over big blue skies,
Oh to be a bird to fly so free,
Where another dips and then pulls up to the sunrise.
A Robin gracefully lands on her nest,
She feeds to one,
and then to the rest,
While the babies chirp, the mother gazes to the sun.
Although planes too can fly,
the birds was designed by birth to soar,
and although planes too go high,
birds can swoop and twirl to heights galore.
But not only do they fly,
above clouds and such sorts,
for many can fly like, the butterfly,
but a birds instincts can tell him when to build his forts.
Sometimes I jump in plans to soar,
leaping off the edge of the table,
I jump and land upon the floor,
and somehow learn that, I am not able.
To end the thoughts of my outrageous dreams,
I'll say by simply telling you,
when I end my crazy schemes,
I guess being human will have to do.

While the wind blew swiftly.
The bird flew thrifty.
Flapping its wings.
Faster and harder.
Against the wind.
The bird flew like it was blind.
Swirling all around the skyline.
All at once the wind calmed down.
The bird came through town.
Soaring its wings.
As it roared right past me.
To find rest upon a clothes line.

Very early Fall morning…crisp and clear.
Sitting on the patio, sipping hot coffee.
Only my path to and from the bird feeders,
Rain gutters hung on the stockade fence,
Has disturbed the beautiful, glistening dew
Blanketing a lush, green Bermuda lawn
Awaiting the season's final mow and a Winter sleep.
Early morning sunsmile creates a mist, a little fog,
That artists have great difficulty recreating.
And the sprinklers are making music too….
As I filled those bird feeders,
Only the patient cooing of white wing dove
Waiting in the surrounding trees
Could barely be heard above the sprinkler.
Feeders filled, I walked away.
The air erupted with bird song.
Our giant privets were alive with hungry sparrows,
Each announcing breakfast.
All the locals seemed to understand.
The robins and larks, the finches and cardinals chimed in;
But only the jays' sharp calls could be heard above the din.
What a ruckus…but so beautiful a song,
It is a 'wall of sound' to be envied by rockers.
Orchestrated by Mother Nature….Mrs. God.
The sprinkler's barely heard....
ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch
Squirrels wait out of sight.
One may bark now and then, but
They've learned that patience pays.
It's not just time to feed those damn birds;
It's time to feed the greedy squirrels too;
And chow time is well worth the wait:
Sunflower seeds. Peanuts. Suet. Dried fruit.
You can almost hear them as they gobble,
"Mmmmmm. Man, this is the good stuff, Bro'.
I mean the good stuff. What a life.
I'll never leave…not even for a girl squirrel."
It's as if they think they'll never eat again;
Every morning.
As if we hadn't been feeding them
Every day of their lives…and their parents.
If we could tell them apart.
They would have names.
Well....everybody's happy.
All this and good coffee too.
What a beautiful Fall morning.

Soaring High
Looking up I spot a bird; floating in the sky just soaring way up high. Graceful with wings spread never seeming to move slowly he circles around. In the distance another calls out as joining in this dance in the sky! The two ever higher begin their decent slow and mythological. What feels like hours I watch enjoying the sight drifting downward? What beauty the two birds display as they dare soar closer with each pass.
At last I can tell their hawks. A pair I'm sure for they fly together and call out to one another. I watch as one pauses on a tree limb looking about. The other still circling above and calls out once again. An answer comes from the beauty on the limb.
Amazed I watch the other land on the bird bath. What a sight to see as the smaller one now splashes in the bath. Clean and dry off she flies into the trees. The big hawk again into the sky higher and higher I watch him soar. Soon he's high enough it's difficult to tell this graceful soaring bird is the hawk from my backyard. A cry from afar and then he too disappears from my sight.
I find myself looking up watching and waiting for soaring high I'll see my hawks. The graceful dance in the sky I know will lead them to the bird bath along with the branch where he sits and waits. A cry will sound in the distance alerting me of their intended arrival. My hawks will soar high circling with grace till they dare once more visit a while.

The funny rollick of kittens at play,
the whispered hush, I hear snowfall say.
Puddles to splash in, fires to warm by.
That heart tugging pull of a newborns cry.
Are but a few things that will come to mind,
while breathing deeply, trying to unwind.
After a day of chaos and stress,
I let my mind go, to the things I like best.
A child learning to eat spaghetti,
lots of napkins, fork at the ready.
A momma bird at the nest feeding her young.
The song of bird when a new days begun.
You can't help but smile at these things,
with the images, the thoughts of them bring.
Just close your eyes to see, smell and feel,
the happiness, so vivid and real.

Standing out in a field alone, a little white flower named Daisy longed for someone to share her world.
One day a blue flower named Bachelor Button entered her world they became friends.
She knew by his name that he was not the propagating kind, but that didn't stop their relationship she called him BB short for best bud.
The seasons of Spring & Summer they enjoyed the sun, laughed in the rain and held on fast in the Fall.
Winter came it was long and hard they were both covered in a blanket of snow, not knowing whether they would ever see each other again or even survive .The snow fell then came the ice, this went on for months.
The Sun shone brightly the first day of spring. A few days later warmth of the sun melted the snow, Daisy popped up .
I've been waiting days for you to come out, said BB, they both chanted hooray!
The snow was completely gone in a few days, the birds started building their nests , bugs were crawling around ,butterflies began to visit the two flowers. I wish there were more of us Daisy said, to BB.
They laughed as the sun and wind blew through their leaves. Then it started the sun and rain took turns until one morning the air & field was filled with the smell of flowers.
Daisy and BB looked at each other and asked what kind of flowers are these ? they're not white like daisies they're not blue like bachelor buttons. They did not know the birds and bugs carried the seeds from the two of them and the caterpillars buried them under the soil.
The seeds from the new flowers were then carried by the winds many miles away, they landed in fertilized gardens and flourished, although they faced danger everyday.
as they were called WEEDS ..
The Gardener pulls weeds out of the garden so they don't choke the flowers, which cost a lot of money and require lots of maintenance.
However there was a Gardener who saw her friends spending hours weeding their garden , that they didn't have enough time to admire and enjoy the labors of their love
So she set out to give a home to all the weeds ,she provided a place where they could fit in and multiply, they required no maintenance, rain provides their water .
The best part of all is their beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Ask my granddaughter-- What are those flowers in the garden ?
She will answer "WILDFLOWERS " their parents were Daisy and BB

the wisp
of an old tune lost
in bird song

The birds sit on the willow;
The sun peeps from the sky.
Downstream the noisy rivers flow,
And busy ants scurry by.
A butterfly with rainbow color
Runs wildly as a vine -
Passing o're the flowers
In paths of strange designs.
The flower trees are bending:
Smiling to the rain.
Gigantic trees are mending;
And summer dawns again.

for my gentle handsome son, Keith Andrew-
The young Canadian goose was lost in flight,
Not knowing which way to turn-
Now he depended on instinct and sight,
And what he had already learned-
The clouds engulfed all his air space,
And for the skein his heart did yearn-
They were migrating north in springtime,
Towards their nesting grounds to return-
He was sure he could navigate the course,
But he really needed to see-
For now it was against time that he raced,
Hoping that soon with them all he would be-
He flew at an altitude of 3,000 feet,
the migration height that geese fly-
'but then remembered on some occasions,
they'd go up 27,000 feet in the sky!
He tried to get his bearings,
by estimating their rate of speed-
Canadian Geese cover 1,500 miles a day,
He'd have to fly faster to succeed-
KA, with courage geared up,
and charged right through the distant clouds-
He spotted black feathered necks and feet,
and heard lots honking that was loud-
His father was in the lead,
of the "V" formation that geese fly-
His mother was right behind,
Asking, "Where did he go and why?"
The young Canadian goose remained in back,
Until all of them touched the ground-
Mother emerged from the gaggle with glee,
Happy her son was found-
Mom and father were together for life-
In the geese world that's how it goes-
Now it was KA's time to find a mate,
He made it just in time to propose!

I am a heart full of love
that shook the pilars that held her colussium up
her heart filled with sorrow,
I swing such fury toward her heart and soul
she cowards away from me,
in fear of falling in love and not knowing what is in black
and not searching what is in the light of pure white.
I am a heart full of love,
she runs and takes the long dirt road,
through the raging mountains of the quiet countryside,
as the meadows of lilacs slowly die when Spring comes,
the blooming of the rose,
like the blooming of my heart,
a blossom on a cherry tree fall and harbour in the wintertime.
I swing toward her, she falls in fear of wanting attention and love.
Lost in the midnight twilight,
the flaming torch guides her through the dark holes of meaningless souls.
and like a frightened hummingbird,
she flees away from the secrets of falling in love.
A heart full of love ready to love,
it is diffcult to feel and to show,
but as if a rose that blooms in Springtime
my love is ready to bloom.
Pettles lay along a darkened atmosphere
lit up only with four wax candles
a portrait of a woman hung over a mantel piece
in honour of my one true love.
As the twilight shine though my bedroom window,
I show a heart full of love,
to take and to hold for eternity.
And as she slowly moves forward,
she takes me home with her,
and opens her chest and shows me her heart
with a glass of red wine and charming cigarette.
She sheads tears of pain and sorrow on my broud shoulder,
I curise her hair, silk laced hair,
shining against the twilight and the moonlit sky.
My heart full of love,
so divine, so original
a one of a kind.
We make love in the midst of the twilight,
as my dream girl is now reality and my pain is no more,
her pain is no more.
Too show such love makes a man feel free
and his soul lighter.
She holds him there,
as the sun rises over the mountains.
The birds sing a tune of cheerfulness,
and they talk about everything beautiful and kind,
that is still left in this cruel and empty hearted world.
Romance and love shared
with a heart full of love,
smile and kiss upon smooth lips,
feel me against your tight body,
and love me till the morning
when Blue eyed Death is staring us in the face.
and we go with him,
and play a game of risk,
and together forever,
onto a diffrent world
we shall love each other forever,
for you and I both have a heart full of love.

Sometimes in June
It was a lovely June morning;
Little woolly clouds drifted high up in the sky,
The air was full of sweet scents,
Small groves and groups of trees,
Silence like little lambs.
It was a lovely June morning;
Day had broken,
Cold and gray,
Exceedingly cold and gray,
No sun nor hint of sun,
It was a clear day.
It was a lovely June morning;
I gazed about other creatures in solitary,
An intangible pall over the face of other creatures,
Subtle gloom that surrounded man's life,
The joyous in the mist of other nature,
Deep thought and tearful happy,
Slowly blush the past event away.

I Am a Bluebird
Two little bluebirds hatched one morn
Out of the eggshells their tiny beaks had torn
The little boy grew and became very proud
"Look at my bright blue feathers," he chirped so loud
The little girl's feathers were rather pale
Gray in color with a light blue tail
Where he was cocky, she was shy
"My feathers are not as brilliant," she wondered why
Then one day, several bluebirds landed on her tree
She realized, "Oh my goodness, they are courting me"
The next thing she knew, four eggs in a nest
"Beauty isn't everything, my babies are the best"
She worked very hard and showed her babies love
As she and her mate taught them to fly in the sky above
As life went on, her purpose became clear to see
Hard work, happiness, love, this bluebird is me
The description of the bluebird was modesty, unassuming, confidence and happiness transformation

Keats' Nightingale
The romantic poets were too early to postulate total atheism,
And so freshened up the church by aligning god with nature,
And I believe they had a preference for nature over god or theism,
Because they never posit him as social with high, tall stature.
Keats says that the nightingale exemplifies nature as active,
As bestowing upon all human beings meaning, sense and worth,
Since the bird's song objectifies how nature truly is effective,
Fulfilled by happiness, and aimed at contentment and rebirth.
Nature triggers in us thoughts and words to settle and allure,
Offers us our language to dispel pain and find the cure,
And Keats contends that poetry, the credibility of its form,
Epitomises what nature proffers, a receptacle rather warm.
When you feel awkwardly suicidal with nowhere else to turn,
Nature lullabies you into your own sense, one you can rip and burn;
No controlled access freeways, no road signs for your safety,
Only soft, quiet communication that's never guilty of brevity.
Just as nature is beautiful, so Keats claims people as beautiful too,
As he uses the word beauty right in the middle of his nature exposé;
He referred to flora, the moon, the stars, the forest and what seems true,
Tnat song of the nightingale that's for anyone, as this bird is not choosey.
He suggests that light or positivity in nature means movement,
That the soft breeze dispels the gloom and mossy pavement;
Quantum physics does reduce matter back down to interactive particles,
In which kinetic energy can be mistaken for minuscule, motionless articles.
His mentor is the nightingale as part of nature's whole,
No minister or clergyman to advise him on his soul,
Stillness and bird song scent his poisoned air surrounding,
And it is all but for the silence of that beauteous music, astounding.
Nature does not irritate him when he surmises and introspects,
But upholds itself in majestic grandeur with unquestionable prospects;
It speaks about life, your life, your daily happenings and exotic dreams,
And forever exists for us when sense is just not within our means.

I walked upon a sparrow sitting on a limb,
her little feathers wet and mottled from a
spring swim, she played and picked then
shook her fragile body, stretching her head
out with a nod, she settled down, nestled,
she closed her little eyes, quietly, without worry.
As she awoke she expressed her happiness with
joyous song and weightless sigh, all the while,
I watch in awe and wonder; how nice it must be
to have a tree, to sit under, ...free, warm from
the new morning sun; Ah yes, I should like to be
a sparrow today, nothing to do but sing and pray.

Cindy had a little Bird,
Little Bird, little Bird,
Cindy had a little Bird,
Its feathers were yellow as the sun
And everywhere that Cindy went,
Cindy went, Cindy went,
Everywhere that Cindy went
The Bird was sure to go
It followed her to school one day
School one day, school one day
It followed her to school one day
Which was against the rules.
It made the children laugh and play,
Laugh and play, laugh and play,
It made the children laugh and play
To see a Bird at school
And so the teacher turned it out,
Turned it out, turned it out,
And so the teacher turned it out,
But still it lingered near
And waited patiently about,
Patiently about, patiently about,
And waited patiently about
Till Cindy did appear
"Why does the Bird love Cindy so?"
Love Cindy so? Love Cindy so?
"Why does the Bird love Cindy so?"
The eager children cried
"Why, Cindy loves the Bird, you know."
Loves the Bird, you know, loves the Bird, you know
"Why, Cindy loves the Bird, you know."
The teacher did reply

Hello you sweeties and you guys too
Hope you all have a fantastic day
It's the fervent wish I wish every day
Us Soupers must stay close I say
Support each other when we feel down
We're all susceptible to this quirk
Always look on the bright side of life
Don't worry if it's only a smirk
Gotta start somewhere, maybe a smirk
Soon you'll be giggling away
Greeting everyone with a cheery hello
Wishing them a sunshiny day
Attitude's the key, gotta think positive
To get through our daily routine
You guys help put a smile on my face
When your names pop up on my screen
Want you to know how much you mean
I'd be lost without your kind words
So a hug and a kiss to all you sweet peeps
You make me a happy old bird

High…way up high in the aqua blue sky,
I see a black and white checkered kite…
floating higher and higher than I, myself…
But, I was shoved
Into another shelf…
High…way up high in the aqua blue sky,
2 birds were flying together in harmony… it made me smile
If only…I could fly another mile…
If only…I could higher my smile…
If only…I could fly higher
If only…I could taste ecstasy…
people would accuse me as a liar
If I experienced the best day of my life…
But, I don't wanna live with undying strife…
I want peace…
Hand it over, please…
Hand me the keys
So I could experience perpetual peace
I took flight like those bird couples…
But, I was on an airplane…
High…way up high in the aqua blue sky,
I wouldn't be greedy for gain…
I'm trying to act sane…
But, I'm actually insane
In many ways…I love my uniqueness…
And my stubbornness… and my gladness…
And my madness… my imagination goes wild
But, I need to put it on a leash…so I could remain mild
High…way up high in the aqua blue sky,
I'd feel the rain
Trickle down my hands…my wet, wrinkly hands
High…way up high in the aqua blue sky,
No one would understand
How awesome and wonderful I've felt that day…
Up there…
up there…I felt like a king…
But, now I lost that memory…I lost my ring

My pace…is slow like a snail's pace
Do you see me crying? Just look at my face…
High…way up high in the aqua blue sky,
I'm the clouds absorbing tears
High…way up high in the aqua blue sky,
I'd be willing to release them…

And…hell – I have been
Shaking with fear…
Breaking by the seams
High…way up high in the aqua blue sky,

Daydreaming again…
My mind was stuck on cloud 7…
Thank heavens
That I'm still alive – staring into space
Just look at my sopping face…
I see no grace…I see only a pathetic face
In the mirror…….
This little dream of mine
Was rather sublime
I was a sweet boy,
but now I'm sour like lime
If I were a bird,
I'd fly away from my problems...
I'll flutter away
Without a care in the world...
I want to be happy-go-lucky...

I talked to trees about you.
I told them "don't they importunate."
"I texted you already"
I miss you every day.
Will tell you I need to do something
Once upon a time in a faraway mountain
Speaking in a language
Only the wind and lost people understood
A group of trees stood
I told them "I usually talk to someone every day".
It's a big change to be in this mountain
And they the trees said
"So why don't you talk to him everyday"
I told him "he is far".
And the trees said "but you are still far"
I told tree "yes it's both the same being far"
But here in this mountain I am not free
So this is a big change for me
So the trees said
"You can still talk to him"
"We will bring your thoughts"
"And let it cross to oceans"
"Until your memory matches"
But I said if I keep thinking I might suffer
And I might run to cross the ocean myself
And the trees said "when we too feel this we pray to our maker"
"Because trees practice patience too"
I told them that I know that, but I thank them for reminding me.
I also told them "that because we talked everyday for a long time."
I can be patient not to talk to him for a long time because God gave me that as a gift in advance.
So patience is just a small payment for this silence.
So I am calm already.
I told them "he loves trees too"
And he used to climb mountains when he was younger.
So they like you too
I also told them that you got your back pain from trotting the hills
So they told me "when you come back home talk to him about us"
They said "tell him we kept you company"
"And we tried not to let our twigs and branches fall on your hut when the wind is strong"
I also told them that you have lectures about trees.
And they drooled over it.
One tree said "oh he seems to be a good guy"
I told them you are pretty too.
There are many trees there.
Some of them have holes in the middle.
Wounds made from fighting between the military and the freedom fighters
But they stand still oblivious to their surrounding and their predicament
They are as tall as three to four storey buildings.
And they are thick while some have hollow centers
Ah trees have seen so many things
I hope they didn't get tired of my staring
With my niqab they can see my eyes so tired
I have to sleep.
We will talk again tomorrow
The durian there is creamy
Gift of Allah to those who can't go home.
In the month of Ramadan
I sleep and tomorrow we talked.

As the first rays of sunshine
wakes me out of my sleepy slumber,
I sat up in bed and looked at my hands.
The taste of stale cigarette smoke of cheap red wine
stained my taste buds.
I walked out of bed,
turned on the radio
(to the classical station)
and my heart beats to the tune
my life and soul smile as the sun shines in my room.
I hear God whispering in my ear
I hear all the words of the world
talking to me,
and I can hear my heart sing a little.
I read my poetry,
get dressed go for a walk,
I smile at the faces that I pass;
The cars I pass,
the houses,
the trees,
the dry lawns,
burnt and that have not been watered in days.
I smile at them and they all smile back,
and my heart sings a little,
and I dance to its simple tune.
My heart sings and I dance too:
slowly melodies,
fast jigs,
rapid jazz and swing music
and waltzes to the chopin masterpieces,
and the romantic stories, novels, the poems,
that fancy your mind with its ryhme schemes,
and after I read such romantic beauty
I smile, and I listen closely to my heart,
and with every beat,
it lets out a verse or two, from a familiar song
that caught my ear on the radio,
and my heart sings
and I smile,
and the world smiles back.
Feeling such beauty
love and romance
it is such a good feeling to live with;
and as the night rolls on,
and the sun goes away
I sit at my desk
writing poetry,
with a cigarette slowly burning away with time,
and I am stuck,
getting drunk of red wine,
I sit back in my chair,
and listen to my heart,
and he sings alittle
and I can write again.
So, there we sit together,
writing poetry,
smoking cigarettes,
drinking wine
to the strike of nine
and we both sing songs of love and romance
together forever.
Pecking its way out of the golden light
Songbirds arise non-feathered when they hatch
Feathered wings lift them high in upward flight
Crested larks lay colourful eggs that match
Aeronautical flying birds in love
In the air, romancing like Valentines
Returning to where they were quite beloved
Where their hearts weren't always undermined
I know you do verily love the uplift
Even when your spirit flies to the bayside
Where imagination soars adrift
While I'm trekking on with my mighty hindsight
Bright light flies from the summits each morning
A reddish glow adorns those summits, recording:

Board urged not to close Summit school
Updated 10:00 pm, Wednesday, October 15, 2008
Parents, students and teachers from Seattle Public Schools' Summit K-12 implored the School Board Wednesday not to close or relocate their school as part of a plan to ease school overcrowding in the city's North End.
That possibility has been mentioned frequently in recent weeks, as district officials grapple with a large increase in the number of elementary school-age children in Northeast Seattle and the Queen Anne/Magnolia area.
A number of the speakers during the School Board's public testimony session expressed frustration that teachers, students and parents weren't given more notice that Summit could be moved or closed.
The school was targeted for potential closure in 2005, and some speakers suggested that could have been a major factor in its declining enrollment in recent years.
"It seems like we're always getting blindsided," said Alissa Ovenshine, a freshman at Summit. "Please take the time to come visit our program before you make a final decision."
District officials aren't sure if the enrollment increase is a trend or just an anomaly, and are trying to come up with a short-term solution to deal with the anticipated overcrowding for the 2009-10 school year.
Enrollment numbers released Wednesday show the district's total enrollment this fall increased by about 320 students, to about 45,600, and that more students enrolled this year in the Southeast Education Initiative schools -- Aki Kurose Middle School, Cleveland High School and Rainier Beach High School.

After staying in numerous hostels all over Brazil, this was easily one of our favourites. Firstly, it has a great set-up; with hammocks, air-con´d rooms and a lovely common area where everyone gets together to drink and socialize. Plus it´s in the best location, close to the beach and only a few minutes walk from the city. To top it all off, Gus is an exceptional host who ensured we had an incredible time. Could have stayed weeks here! Definitely the best spot from which to experience Paraty.
Thank you so much sweety ! It was great to have you here, hope to see you again. Gus .

After two months of traveling, this Hostel was more than somewhere different; it was somewhere extraordinary. Tucked into one of the most beautiful valleys in Maramures, it is more of a retreat than a hostel and the staff are lovely. With three of us we had a whole cabin to ourselves - which included a wood fire, sheep-skin rugs, lovely rustic wooden decor, massive beds and a bunch of food provided! Wonderful in both summer or winter, I wish we could have stayed one week rather than one night.

Definitely a great spot to stay in Bucharest, very central and a melting pot of travelers from all over. The bedroom's were nice and both of the common rooms were great places to socialize and meet people. However, while some of the staff were great, others made our stay a nightmare. We had our food thrown away by a staff member, someone forgot to put our washing on until a day later (so we had to take everything with us still wet) and they were generally rude about these mistakes.
Thanks for your review. Please let us know what staff member it was. We are sending you a private mail on this. Our apologies on that. Glad everything else was good :)

Celebrating 45 Years of Formula Vee Racing, in South Africa The Formula Vee Association of South Africa, celebrates it's 45th Anniversary, with two sprint races and a Ninety Minute Endurance Race at the Execuline 9 Hour Retro race...
Celebrating 45 Years of Formula Vee Racing, in South Africa
The Formula Vee Association of South Africa, celebrates it's 45th Anniversary, with two sprint races and a Ninety Minute Endurance Race at the Execuline 9 Hour Retro race meeting, at Kyalami on the 4th December 2010. The two nine lap sprint races are provisionally scheduled for, 08:15 and 10:30 on Saturday morning, with the Ninety Minute Endurance Race, scheduled to start at 12:15.
Once again, the event has attracted Formula Vee competitors from overseas, with German Formel V Association Chairman and two times German Champion Joachim Lutz, competing in his fourth South African anniversary event. The only man to win the German Formel V Championship, in a South African designed and built chassis, Lutz will be accompanied by another five German Formula Vee drivers and for the first time, South Africa will also be hosting competitors, from the European Historic Formula Vee Association. The European Historic Formula Vee Championship caters for cars from various eras of Formula Vee racing, divided into classes depending on year of manufacture and specification. The Classes are 1964 to 1966 and 1967 to 1972, all with 1300cc, single carburetor Volkswagen Beetle motors and 1973 to 1976 with 1300cc twin carburetor Volkswagen Beetle motors. There are also two classes, for Super Vees, these being from 1971 to 1977 and 1978 to 1982 running the 1600cc VW 411 or Porsche 914 motor. The various classes run together, with up to forty five cars, per race meeting.
Lutz will again partner Symm Grobler (Auto Mecca Rhema 2), while the other drivers, in the German Formel V contingent, are Dirk Kornmeyer, Winfried Kornmeyer and Stefan Elfgen, along with Arno Sommer and Harry Ohs who where also here, for our 40th Anniversary in 2005. Reigning German Champion Dirk Kornmeyer, will partner with four times South African National Formula Vee Champion, Alan Holm (Lasersprint Office Direct Rhema 2), with Winfried partnering Ben Pienaar, in the BJ Pro Welding Rhema 2. Sommer, will compete in the Renexcon Construction Rhema 2, alongside Henk Swanepoel, Ohs will be sharing the Gilus IT SAP Rhema 2, with Nico Blignaut. and Elfgen will be sharing the Nashua Mobile Rhema 1, with Paul Venter. The European Historic Formula Vee Association competitors, Dr Frank Orthey, of Germany who is also the chairman of their Association, will share the Renexcon Rhema 2 with the newly crowned 2010 SA National Formula Vee Champion, Peter Hills, while Robert Waschak,from Austria will be driving Mile Stewart's Rhema 1..
Current German Formula Vees, run with wings and slicks, so their drivers have always found a South African Vee, a bit of a challenge, particularly when we still ran with the skimmed road tires. To them, our cars seemed almost un-drivable, on those tires. Then in 2005, they experienced our cars on the semi slick racing tire, for the first time and although Lutz felt they where a vast improvement, over the road tires, he still found our cars very difficult to drive, compared to the German cars and once again, they will be a challenge for the visiting German drivers, particularly those experiencing a South African Vee, for the first time. For the European Historic Formula Vee drivers, our cars should not be too much of a problem, as it looks like a lot of their cars, still run the old marie biscuit wheels, similar to what South African Vees ran in the early air cooled Beetle engine days.
Making his Formula Vee racing debut, at the Kyalami event, will be fifteen year old Karter Dewald Brummer, sharing the Sting with his father Deon. Most of the regular Formula Vee competitors, will also be competing in the event, sharing drives in the Ninety Minute race, with friends, mechanics, sponsors etc. Mariaan Brits (Rotary Racing Rhema 1), will be sharing the car with Susan Cockeram and Tasj Van Dyk will be back behind the wheel of her (Body Art Omega). Others who have not competed regularly, in recent years but still poses a Vee, will also compete at the event, including the air cooled Wilkie Vee of Tony Beecher, while the Kernick family, synonymous with the History of the category in this country, will be represented in the Ninety Minute Endurance race, by the 1985 National Champion Peter and younger brother Alan Kernick, in Alan's Tasman 96.
The event is open to any Formula Vee racing car in South Africa, of whatever age or specification and is more a celebration of 45 years of Formula Vee Racing, in this country, than anything else. The racing will however be as competitive as ever, with the drivers being true racers at heart. We would also like to encourage as many ex Formula Vee drivers and ex South African Formula Vee National Champions, to attend the event, visit the Vee pits, celebrate with us and share their many stories and memories, of a category that has endured and flourished for so many years, in this country.

Will he, or won't he?
That is the question Thunder fans are asking about Sam Presti as the NBA's trading deadline approaches.
Will the Thunder general manager swing a trade, or will he stand pat and see an already championship-caliber roster through the finish line?
One report over the weekend indicated that Oklahoma City is actively searching for help on the perimeter to bolster its roster for a title run.
But as has been the case with the Thunder, there are several complications to completing a deal.
The most significant is the team's proximity to the tax threshold. Oklahoma City is determined to avoid exceeding the tax this season in an effort to delay the start of the clock on the repeater tax. That obstacle could limit the Thunder to targeting only players making approximately $3 million or less.
Another important factor is the quality of the current roster. The Thunder is the best team in basketball, bulldozing teams while building a 43-12 record. Short of a blockbuster — which is unlikely — few available players figure to come in and crack the Thunder's rock-solid rotation. There simply aren't enough minutes to go around. Talented young players like Perry Jones III and Steven Adams already must claw to get on the court.
Last but not least, the Thunder is set to make the best addition any team can possibly make at the deadline — Russell Westbrook. The star point guard is on the verge of rejoining the lineup, possibly as early as Thursday against Miami, following a 30-game absence. His return will immediately strengthen the Thunder's starting five, as well as its bench because Reggie Jackson will return to his reserve role.
All told, it's unlikely the Thunder will do anything of substance for the third straight year. Still, there are reasons to believe OKC could agree to something smaller.

The Poulson Slaver Quilt is currently on display at the museum as part of the exhibition Freedom Bound: Runaways of the Chesapeake. This exhibit discusses the lives and stories of runaway indentured servants, convict servants, and slaves living in the Chesapeake Bay region by focusing on nine specific runaways. Their stories are shared through videos, audio clips, documents, images, and hands-on activities. The entire exhibition is spread among three different sites in Annapolis - the Historic Annapolis Museum, the Historic Annapolis Waterfront Warehouse, and the Banneker-Douglass Museum. The exhibition is currently slated to run through March 2014, however extension plans are already on the table.
While Dr. Gaither spoke about the quilt, I filmed her and am now sharing the raw footage of the first two minutes of the talk. I am working to get the second clip with the remainder of the talk up in the next few days. The second voice in video clip is that of Heather Ersts from Historic Annapolis.

MUSKEGON HEIGHTS, MI – An 18-year-old Muskegon Heights man suffered a gunshot wound to his left hand Tuesday from what he described to police as a bizarre stray-bullet.
The alleged shooting was reported at 10:16 p.m. by someone at Mercy Health Partners in Muskegon, where the victim was taken by another resident, police said.
When Muskegon Heights police officers arrived to the hospital to interview the victim, the man told police that he was walking in the area of Hume Avenue and Hoyt Street when he heard gunshots ring out.
He then felt pain in his left hand and told police that he realized he had been hit by a stray bullet, said Muskegon Heights Police Chief Lynne Gill.
The victim told police that a person unknown to him offered to take him to the hospital for treatment, Gill said.
Officers searched the area and did not locate any armed subjects. A suspect or suspects hadn't been identified as of Thursday afternoon.

ABC won't press charges against Chris Brown for smashing window for no reason
It looks like Chris Brown didn't break his probation when he broke that window while throwing a temper tantrum in his dressing room after his Tuesday interview on Good Morning America. But that's only because ABC has decided not to press charges. Time to shout yeah three times, Breezy.
TMZ reports the NYPD won't be investigating the incident, which apparently left glass showering onto people on the street below the GMA studio, because there's no complaining victim. And since there's no complaining victim, there's no vandalism charge. And no vandalism charge, well, that's no probation violation. Everyone's a winner!
The site says there's still no word on whether Chris will pay for the window, but we think ABC should at least demand that. Just asking him to come back for another interview after he reacted like a rampaging beast following Robin Roberts' major-league softballs about Rihanna simply doesn't seem like the right response here.

California Employment Law
Have California Employment Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer.
Good morning Rosemarie,I'm Doug, and I'm very sorry to hear of your situation. My goal is to provide you with excellent service today. I have represented nurses in actions involving hospitals and nursing facilities on many occasions, and my wife is a nurse, so I understand how the health care employment situation is. I have also had dealings with the Richmond Kaiser facility in years past.In order to give you a clear and concise answer, I will need some additional information about the circumstances, please.1. You say that you are a visiting nurse. Does that mean you are visiting from another Kaiser Facility, or do you mean that you are there on a travel assignment?2. If you are traveling, have you discussed this issue with your travel company and determined whether leaving in mid-contract will be held against you?Doug
I don't know if you received my reply.
I'm a Home Health Nurse employed by Kaiser Permanent.
Attorney, I know you're a busy person. I needed your phone number just in case we're cut off.
In CA, employees are presumed to be "at will." At-will employees may be terminated for any reason—at any time, even a mistaken reason, they can have their hours or pay decreased and they can suffer a cut in their benefits, so long as it's not illegal or unlawfully discriminatory.
Unlawful discrimination would include an employer discriminating based upon a person's Ethnicity, Color, Religion, National Origin, Gender or Disability.
The fact that no harm came to either of your patients does not act as a legal defense to being terminated. And so yes, Kaiser may legally terminate you based on the 2 minor errors.
The bigger issue at this point is whether toy choose to resign or be terminated---arguably for cause based on the errors.
If you are terminated, you will have to explain the termination to future employers---and that could be problematic. because you did make these errors, and despite the fact that no harm came to the patients---Kaiser will argue that it could have and that the termination was for good cause. This, if accepted by EDD would prevent you from being eligible for unemployment benefits.
Resignation would allow you the greater ability to avoid the stigma of having been let go by an employer, and will definitely look better on your resume.
In the meeting you might propose something a but different than just resignation or termination. Discuss with the a third option of what in CA is known as a Mutually Agreed Separation. This is still a resignation for your resume, however, it will also mean that you will qualify for unemployment benefits while you are searching for a new position. A Mutually Agreed Separation is seen as an agreement between you and the employer that things are not working as either of you had hoped for, and without any assignment of wrongdoing, it is simply agreed that you will leave. Here is a link to the EDD regulations dealing with this method of departure. Refer to Section F:
So, you have several options, but many find that where termination is pending, than a Mutually Agreed Separation is the best way to go. Just be sure if you work this out, that you get in writing from the employer that there has been an agreement reached and that they acknowledge that your leaving is based on a Mutually Agreed Separation.
You may reply back to me using the Continue the Conversation or Reply to Expert link and I will be happy to continue to assist you until I am able to address your concerns, to your satisfaction. Please remember to rate my service to you when our communication is completed. I wish you the best in 2013,Doug

Pix - Am I 3B?
I'm not sure if I did this correctly. Hoping I did.
This is a pix of me and my boys last summer.
My hair looks exactly the same now.
Let me know what you think.
Currently using Oidad products (just started yesterday)
Cute kids.
It's a tough call. One of the pics you have your hair pulled back, so you can't tell about the curl formation. The other pic your hair looks chin-length and sometimes shorter hair can fool you.
Anyway, I'm gonna vote for 3A. Your curls look a bit big and loose to be a 3B to me.
Your hair is very pretty.
Welcome to NC.com
Wow i dont know about the curly system sorry (dont even know what i catergorize either lol ) but just wanted to say your curls are so cute/pretty! So Love the shoulder length pic too! Lucky. :D
Edit: Brio- ever since they change the server and was down for maintenance last weekend i cannot see your avaiter pic . i hope its not my comp cuz i loved looking at your curls dang it. :?
I'd say 3a/b combo. Nice boingy curls. :D
Don't know about your hair, but your boys definitely have your eyes.

SINGAPORE — China accused Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel of using threatening and unexpected language in a speech earlier Saturday in which he criticized Chinese aggression in maritime disputes with its Asian neighbors.
SINGAPORE — China accused Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel of using threatening and unexpected language in a speech earlier Saturday in which he criticized Chinese aggression in maritime disputes with its Asian neighbors.
Hagel's remarks to an Asian security conference were "excessive beyond … imagination" and "suffused with hegemonism … threats and intimidation," Lt. Gen. Wang Guanzhong, deputy chief of staff of the Chinese military, said in remarks reported in the Chinese media.
At the start of a brief meeting with Hagel, Wang also referenced the secretary's speech, saying Hagel's criticisms were "groundless."
U.S. defense officials said that Hagel had purposefully used strong language in the speech to criticize what he called China's "destabilizing, unilateral actions" in pressing its control of air and sea lanes in the region. Most recently, China has overflown islands under Japanese administration in the East China Sea. Vietnam has also vigorously protested a Chinese claim to energy resources in the South China Sea.
"We take no position on competing territorial claims," Hagel said in his speech. "But we firmly oppose any nation's use of intimidation, coercion or the threat of force to assert these claims."
A senior U.S. official said Hagel's meeting with Wang, who leads China's delegation at the Shangri-La Dialogue, was truncated because of scheduling concerns and lasted only about 20 minutes. While Wang was initially critical, the bulk of the discussion was "cooperative and amicable" and focused on improving U.S.-Chinese military-to-military cooperation. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the closed-door session.
The United States has called for China to settle its disputes in the area under international law.
While the United States has tried to straddle a line between criticizing Chinese aggression in the region and improving its own relations with Beijing, neighboring countries looking to the Obama administration for support in the disputes said they were encouraged by Hagel's blunt public language.
"The feedback was very positive," the defense official said, particularly on the subject of maritime disputes.
Although the United States has emphasized to China that it takes no side in the maritime disputes, Hagel noted in remarks here that it has defense treaties with several Asian nations. In private meetings on the margins of the conference, several U.S. partners have questioned how far the Obama administration would go in using force to implement those treaties if it became necessary and referred to Obama's decision to use force in Syria, a decision that was later rescinded.
Hagel also met with Vietnam's defense minister, Gen. Phung Quang Thanh, and in a trilateral meeting with Japan and South Korea, he pressed for more cooperation on a jointly operated missile-defense program against North Korea, officials said.

text: Treatment By Mayo Clinic Staff Print The treatment you receive for a meningioma depends on many factors, including: The size and location of your meningioma The rate of growth or aggressiveness of the tumor Your age and overall health Your goals for treatment Wait-and-see approachImmediate treatment isn't necessary for everyone with a meningioma. A small, slow-growing meningioma that isn't causing signs or symptoms may not require treatment. If the plan is not to undergo treatment for your meningioma, you'll likely have brain scans periodically to evaluate your meningioma and look for signs that it's growing. If your doctor determines your meningioma is growing and needs to be treated, you have several treatment options. SurgeryIf your meningioma causes signs and symptoms or shows signs that it's growing, your doctor may recommend surgery. Surgeons work to remove the meningioma completely. But because a meningioma may occur near many delicate structures in the brain or spinal cord, it isn't always possible to remove the entire tumor. In those cases, surgeons remove as much of the meningioma as possible. The type of treatment, if any, you need after surgery depends on several factors. If no visible tumor remains, then no further treatment may be necessary. However, you will have periodic follow-up scans. If the tumor is benign and only a small piece remained, then your doctor may recommend periodic follow-up scans only. In some cases, small leftover tumors may be treated with a form of radiation treatment called stereotactic radiosurgery. If the tumor is atypical or malignant, you'll likely need radiation. Surgery may pose risks including infection and bleeding. The specific risks of your surgery will depend on where your meningioma is located. For instance, surgery to remove a meningioma that occurs around the optic nerve can lead to vision loss. Ask your surgeon about the specific risks of your surgery. Radiation therapyIf your meningioma can't be completely removed surgically, your doctor may recommend radiation therapy following surgery. The goal of radiation therapy is to destroy any remaining meningioma cells and reduce the chance that your meningioma may recur. Radiation therapy uses a large machine to aim high-powered energy beams at the tumor cells. Advances in radiation therapy increase the dose of radiation to the meningioma while reducing radiation to healthy tissue. Radiation therapy options for meningiomas include: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a type of radiation treatment that aims several beams of powerful radiation at a precise point. Contrary to its name, radiosurgery doesn't involve scalpels or incisions. Radiosurgery typically is done in an outpatient setting in a few hours. Radiosurgery may be an option for people with meningiomas that can't be removed with conventional surgery or for meningiomas that recur despite treatment. Fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) delivers radiation in small fractions over time, such as one treatment a day for 30 days. This approach may be used for tumors too large for radiosurgery or those in an area that can't tolerate the high intensity of radiosurgery — such as near the optic nerve. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) uses computer software to modify the intensity of radiation directed at the meningioma site. This may be used for meningiomas located near sensitive brain structures or those with a complex shape. Proton beam radiation uses radioactive protons precisely targeted at the tumor, reducing damage to the surrounding tissue. DrugsDrug therapy (chemotherapy) is rarely used to treat meningiomas, but it may be used in cases that don't respond to surgery and radiation. There isn't a widely accepted chemotherapy approach to the treatment of meningiomas, but researchers are currently studying molecularly targeted approaches. Alternative medicineAlternative medicine treatments can't treat meningiomas, but some may help provide relief from treatment side effects or help you cope with the stress of having a meningioma. Alternative medicine therapies that may be helpful include: Acupuncture Hypnosis Massage Meditation Music therapy Relaxation exercises Discuss options with your doctor.

Sad news for all the Sam Smith fans out there!
The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter won't be able to perform in the Philippines later this week due to serious vocal cord issues. The Manila leg of his "In The Lonely Hour" was scheduled for May 10.
Here is Sam's announcement on his official Facebook page:
"I have some bad news. I've been to the doctors today and although my 4 days vocal rest has definitely helped, I still have some serious issues with my vocal cords which need to be addressed. I am having to fly to the USA to see a specialist there and as a result, need to reschedule the shows to later this year.
This is horrible for me and I'm truly very sorry that I cannot come and see you guys. I hope you understand and cannot wait to see you in the near future."
Last week, the British sensation also cancelled his Australian tour because of a small hemorrhage on his vocal cords!

Aw, Kelly and Cuban - you both have pretty hair!
I have had short bob cuts in the past, they rock - because you can either have them sleek and straight, or you can have a head full of curls. Short is great, because it can do so many things. Short curly bob cuts are cute! I loved mine when I had it!
End of the day, all that is important is that you like your cut and hair and feel comfortable in it. Maybe try looking at many different cuts on line before you decide? Research is always good!
Finer, mixed with coarser strands, low-porosity, wavy curly whirly hair...3A, 2C hair. Medium thickness, medium elasticity.
S-shaped hair with corkscrew ends. My hair is even more confused than me ;p
My hair officially hates protein
Once a month is enough!
Currently a fan of TiGi products, (rock on, TiGi Curlesque styling creme!) but that will soon change - I am a self-avowed product junkie! Yay!
BIG fan of supersoaker method - thanks Rudeechick!

Canyon still hopes to fly into Kamloops
When George Canyon takes to the skies next time, bringing his The Sky's Not the Limit tour across the country, he hopes to include Kamloops on the itinerary.
The last time he took his flying roadshow focused on living with diabetes, Canyon wasn't able to include the River City due to an issue with the airport.
"But, we're gonna do our best," said the country singer and recently named spokesman for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) in Canada.
"I've been working with diabetic kids for years," Canyon said, "and I've always worked with JDRF so now, hopefully, I can do something more to help it."
Canyon's been living with Type 1 diabetes since he was a child.
It was diagnosed when he was 14 and that was the end of his plans to join the Canadian Air Force.
Losing that dream fuelled another, though, and it's why Canyon flies his own plane into communities in his Sky's Not the Limit program — to show diabetes may stop some goals — but not all of them.
Canyon's also a vocal proponent of the insulin pump, something he uses.
On the day he called KTW, Canyon was sitting at the Nashville airport, waiting for a plane to Palm Springs, where he was set to shoot a video for one of the songs on his new recording.
Better Be Home Soon was released yesterday (March 22). The title track is also the first single,
He created it with the go-to music producer for many singers — Richard Marx — and is thrilled it contains a track Marx and Kenny Rogers wrote for him to sing.
He said the recording is everything he wanted it to be and, although it has some rock overtones, "it's me, so it's not serious rock."
Canyon is also delighted one of his hits, I Believe in Angels, was adopted by the JDRF in the U.S. as its theme song.

Lieff, Cabraser, Heimann & Bernstein, LLP reminds investors of the January 21, 2014 deadline to move for appointment as lead plaintiff in the securities class litigation brought on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of Fusion-io, Inc. ("Fusion-io" or the "Company") (NYSE:FIO) between August 10, 2012 and October 23, 2013, inclusive (the "Class Period"). If you purchased Fusion-io common stock during the Class Period, you may move the Court for appointment as lead plaintiff by no later than January 21, 2014. A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Your share of any recovery in the action will not be affected by your decision of whether to seek appointment as lead plaintiff. You may retain Lieff Cabraser, or other attorneys, as your counsel in the action. Fusion-io investors who wish to learn more about the action and how to seek appointment as lead plaintiff should click here or contact Sharon M. Lee of Lieff Cabraser toll-free at 1 800 541-7358. Fusion-io is a computer hardware and software systems company that designs and manufactures memory storage solutions. Since Fusion-io's initial public offering in 2011, a small number of what the Company calls "strategic" customers have accounted for a significant portion of the Company's revenues. The complaints allege that during the Class Period, defendants issued materially false and misleading statements regarding Fusion-io's financial performance and future prospects. Specifically, defendants misrepresented to investors that Fusion-io was a market leader in large-scale flash memory applications and was not facing any competitive pressure or risk from the commoditization of flash memory products. Defendants also issued positive revenue guidance and misrepresented that Fusion-io was able to anticipate the demand from its strategic customers. As a result of defendants' material misrepresentations and omissions, Fusion-io's common stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period.

NMEDA For Your Quality Transportation And Wheelchair Vehicle Needs
This post brought to you by NMEDA. All opinions are 100% mine.
It is difficult to be independent when we age or when we're disabled. Our mobility gets limited and we need to stay mobile with no serious injury in order to stay healthy and live better. But how can you live a better life with mobile disability? Your family members, friends and caregivers can sure help you with your disability and you will need mobile-support equipment like wheelchair, van and others. Getting those equipment is not as easy like going to a supermarket! You will need professionals on how to help you get quality inspected mobile-support equipment and even your transportation needs.
Have you heard about NMEDA? It stands for National Mobility Equipment Dealer Association. They are a non-profit trade association of mobility equipment dealers, manufacturers, driver rehabilitation specialists and other professionals. Their organization is dedicated to expanding opportunities for people with disabilities to drive or be transported in vehicles modified with mobility equipment. Their members work together to improve transportation options of people with disabilities. NMEDA also have Quality Assurance Program (QAP) which is a recognized accreditation program for the mobility equipment industry.
If you're a disabled (not handicapped) consumer looking for better quality transportation and wheelchair vehicle needs, make sure to check their dealers who are QAP accredited (not certified).

More Coverage
Here are some observations from the UNLV basketball team's 75-68 loss today against Air Force at the Thomas & Mack Center. Yes, the 14-point betting favorite Rebels lost to Air Force. And at home.
What the game means: Falling at home to Air Force, the Rebels' fourth loss this season in a venue in which they were previously unstoppable, will be the toughest to stomach because this defeat comes in league play. It's difficult to win on the road in the Mountain West, meaning defending your home floor is vital in the journey to win a league championship. Even though the Rebels are just two games into league season, those dreams could be considered over. You can't lose to Air Force, a team you were favored to beat by 14 points, and expect be a dominating team in the Mountain West. Lose to Air Force in the high elevation of Colorado Springs, Colo., and it's understandable. Lose to them at home and it's a head-scratcher. The Rebels didn't deserve to win this game, plain and simple. Teams making just 14 of 23 on free throws don't deserve to win. Teams that don't execute in the final minutes don't deserve to win. Air Force never backed down. The Falcons executed on both ends of the court, getting plenty of easy baskets after driving to the hoop and more than their share of open looks on the perimeter. And they couldn't miss, making 44 percent of their 3-pointers. When UNLV rallied to take a lead for a few seconds late in the game, Air Force didn't fold. They didn't play like a team expected to lose. UNLV didn't have that killer instinct from the beginning of the game, giving Air Force confidence early. By time UNLV started playing better, it was too late. The more talented team didn't win today. That's what happens when the more talented team takes the less talented team too lightly.
Late-game execution : The Rebels gift-wrapped a win earlier this season against Illinois, surrendering a 11-2 scoring run in the final minutes of a game they should have won. That night, the late-game execution was poor, likely the result of a team with some new pieces never being in a tight-game situation together before. They learned a lesson that night. Obviously, the learning process is ongoing. While the late-game execution wasn't as poor tonight, it still left much to be desired. With a one-point lead and about 2:30 remaining, the Rebels' Deville Smith passed on a 3-pointer in transition to drain time off the clock — a good decision. But UNLV couldn't get a good look and Smith forced a 3-pointer as the shot clock expired. It missed and Air Force rebounded, scoring on its ensuing possession for lead. On UNLV's next possession, Kevin Olekaibe took a 3-pointer from the popcorn stand that had no chance. It was a wasted possession in a part of that game where each shot was vital. Then, of course, the Rebels couldn't make their free throws with Bryce Dejean-Jones missing a pair with 45 seconds remaining to essentially seal UNLV's fate. The woes at the end of the game should have never happened, though. UNLV shouldn't have allowed Air Force to build such a big advantage.
A look at the box score : Mr. Double-Double Roscoe Smith had one of his worst statistical games of the season, scoring just four points and grabbing seven rebounds. He did hit a 3-pointer, his second triple of the season in just six attempts. Dejean-Jones led UNLV in scoring for the third straight game with 28 points, but made just 7 of 13 free throws and missed two crucial shots from the charity stripe with the Rebels trailing by one and seconds remaining. Those two misses will tarnish another great game, and rightfully so — your best scorer needs to deliver with the game on the line. Kevin Olekaibe was the only other UNLV player in double figures with 13 points. Air Force cooled off to shot 52-percent for the game, but when the Falcons grew their lead to 10 points in the first half they made 15 of 29 shots for 60-percent and seemingly couldn't miss.
Up next : UNLV hosts UNR Wednesday, looking to extend their winning streak to nine consecutive games against the instate opponent. While some fans will classify this as a rivalry game because of the North-South hatred, the UNLV players surely don't view this as a game of importance. They are more interested in beating Mountain West teams New Mexico and San Diego State, which sets up nicely for Reno. This is one of the most important games on the Reno schedule and knocking off UNLV would easily be one of the highlights of the year. But, if they lose, so what — that's what Reno was expected to do. UNLV holds the all-time series lead 56-19. Adding to that is important to some alumni and fans, which means the UNLV players need to put on a show. Just don't beat UNR; beat them convincingly.

Vikings' Asher Allen Retires
Viking cornerback Asher Allen has retired from the NFL at the age of 24. Head Coach Leslie Frazier announced Wednesday of the decision made by Allen and said he was surprised to hear that Allen was retiring. He didn't get into the specifics as to why he is retiring. Allen started 9 games and appeared in 12 games for the Vikings in 2011. He missed some time due to a concussion and a shoulder injury. Frazier says Allen's decision is not related to injuries.

Legendary singer Van Morrison has been ordered to pay a pub landlord $32,000 (GBP20,000) in damages after cancelling a concert last year (02).
The GLORIA star must also return a further $32,000 (GBP20,000) in performance fees to GARY MARLOW, although the decision about who has to pay the case's costs will be announced tomorrow (12NOV03).
Marlow told the court that revenue at the CROWN HOTEL in Everleigh, south-west England has plummeted from ($40,000) GBP25,000 to $11,200 (GBP7,000)-a-month as a result of the cancellation.
However, the judge attributed poor business management and Marlow's failure to refund $54,900 (GBP33,670) to ticketholders as the likely reason for the pub's damaged reputation and decreased profits, rather than the cancellation of the gig.
Marlow says, "I would like to say that I am absolutely thrilled that we have taken on one of the kings of rock and we have won.

Avenue Said to Raise $2.8 Billion for Distressed Fund
Avenue Capital Group LLC, the distressed-debt firm co-founded by billionaire Marc Lasry, has closed its second European fund at $2.78 billion to invest in companies hurt by the region's sovereign-debt crisis, according to a person familiar with the situation.
The firm in May exceeded its $2.5 billion goal for Avenue Europe Special Situations Fund II, a little more than one year after starting to raise money, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the fund is private. Kathleen Deveny, a spokeswoman for the New York-based firm, declined to comment.
Apollo Global Management LLC (APO) and Davidson Kempner Capital Management LLC are among firms targeting distressed debt in Europe to take advantage of deals arising from the region's crisis. Lasry said in a Bloomberg Television interview last month that he doesn't expect Europe to "blow up" and that he sees a plenty of distressed debt investing opportunities there.
The new fund will make investments in northern European countries, including the U.K., Germany, Ireland, Belgium and the Netherlands as well as Scandinavian nations, the firm said in marketing materials sent in April 2011. The fund will mainly buy senior secured debt, equities or other financial obligations of companies in financial difficulty.
The firm offered investors the choice between investing in a euro-denominated vehicle and dollar-denominated fund, according to the marketing materials. The prior fund, Avenue Europe Special Situations Fund LP, was euro-denominated.
Avenue raised 1 billion euros ($1.2 billion) in 2008 for the predecessor fund, which was generating a 1.4 times multiple and 11.6 percent internal rate of return as of Dec. 31, according to the California Public Employees' Retirement System, which has invested in the vehicle.
Lasry and his sister, Sonia Gardner, founded Avenue Capital in 1995. The firm, which invests in distressed and undervalued debt and equity in the U.S., Asia and Europe, managed about $12.5 billion in assets as of June 30, according to its website.
