Many people want to design a website of their own, but do not know where to start. As with any topic, education is the key to understanding how to build a successful website. The article that follows relays many tips for a person who is just getting started in website design.
Using a fixed position navigation will help your users use it with ease. The panel maintains position while they view the page. You can use this both to allow your visitor to navigate more easily, and to keep your call to action in view.
Make sure that your website has a tagline incorporated into the design. The tagline includes a motto or clever phrase that speaks to the purpose of your business. This allows them to quickly grasp whether or not your site has information relevant to their search.
You want to ensure that your site has passed the NoScript test. Download and activate the NoScript extension for Firefox and see if your site is still readable. There will be content that needs scripting like order systems. However, if the site is blank when the scripts are off, you have a problem.
You will want to make sure you stay up-to-date with new information on website design found in various places around the Internet. Do an Internet search on website creation to find numerous free sites and forums.
Make sure your visitors can search for content on your website. For people who look for specific things, they'll look for a search box first. When there isn't one available, they may just decide to try another site where they can find that information. The ideal placement is the upper right hand corner of your page.
Frames have not been used in web design since the 90's. Frames were popular once, but they have entirely too many flaws. A website that uses frames can cause trouble for visitors when they try to bookmark a site, and no one wants to spend their time scrolling on a website needlessly. There are easier ways to give seamless flow to your site.
Don't overdo it with graphics. While they help to keep a visitor's interest, they can also make a site look cluttered and push visitors away. Graphics are not meant to be used as mere decorations; they're meant to better your site content. Your site will be easier to use if it's not overly cluttered, too.
One critical part of great website development is ease of navigation. You should have links that are easy to find, as well as displayed well. Menus are another way to make site navigation easier on your site. Have links to the main pages available on every page of your site so visitors can always find their way around.
Always delete any outdated content that is on your website. If someone visits your site for up-to-date information and find that it's discussing the latest event – which happened a year ago – they're leaving. If your website looks neglected and disused, your potential customers will surely take their business elsewhere. Put removing outdated content on your to-do list, to do every 2-4 weeks.
Be vigilant in policing your website for content that has become obsolete or outdated. If you have a page that is promoting some type of special event that already went on six months ago, then you have lost readers. Viewers want to know that they are getting up-to-date information, and lack of attention in removing old products will not install this faith. Set a schedule to review the site, to ensure that outdated information is removed, and fresh new content is added in its place.
Your front page should be simple. This will cause people to want to jump ship early. Be descriptive, but try to do so in just a few words.
With a newsletter, you'll get repeat users. When a customer can get frequently updated on things, they will keep visiting to see more. Place the form for signup in a sidebar or at the top of the pages in your site, and track those who sign up. Just send your newsletter to subscribers.
Get familiar with your subject. If you're planning to use your website for blogging or something similar, make sure to thoroughly research the subject prior to posting. By providing your viewers with information that is murky or false, you lose traffic. To create a blog that draws visitors and keeps them interested, knowing what you are talking about is key.
When designing a large site, always incorporate a search feature. It is best to put a search box in the top right corner right of your homepage. Make sure that anyone can search for any item that would be included in your site. Google and FreeFind both offer search functions for your website.
File Sizes
Include strong meta-tags on every page of your site, if you want to get more visitors to your site. You need to spend some time on creating high quality meta tags so that search engines can classify your site properly. Poor or useless tags that are irrelevant to your site will deter future and returning visitors.
While you want to keep the aesthetics of your site in mind, you also need to make every effort to keep your file sizes to a minimum. This is because file sizes are directly correlated with load times. You want your loading time to be as quick as possible. Remember, too, that some visitors may be using dial-up or other low-speed connections. Check out your website on all types of connections, including a dial up connection.
Many people find it very helpful to subscribe to a newsletter for website designers. This offers periodic updates and ideas that will be useful for developing a site. Newsletters are undoubtedly helpful for both beginning designers and professionals alike.
Remember to utilize ALT tags for images as you design your website. If someone cannot pull up the image, these tags let them know what should be in the space. Even if you use links for your images, the ALT tags will help to explain what the link does. Finally, search engine crawlers like ALT tags as they are useful. So, your search rank might improve as a result.
When you are deciding which hosting service to use, make sure that you understand everything that the package will include. You will need to know the following: bandwidth, disk space, CPU usage, and any other items that are part of the package price. Ensure that you understand what you'll be receiving.
Don't ever place pop-ups on websites. Ads are crucial for making money, but pop-ups are needlessly annoying. People will refrain from visiting your site if this occurs. Just keep your ads contained, relevant and you will do fine.
Try reading some advice online before designing that first site. There is a great deal of fine website building information available online for free. Without the right knowledge, your web design will be poorly done and look unprofessional at best.
HTML5 is important to become knowledgeable about if you seek to succeed in website development. If HTML5 is something that is foreign to you, you have a learning curve ahead of you.
Website design requires proper research. Research your niche, so you can set your sights on your target audience. Think how you can design the site to appeal to the audience you are seeking. This will help you approach site design more efficiently.
Don't force visitors to do things. Do not attempt to force them to do an offer or a survey before continuing on with your site. If you do this, your visitor will feel coerced and will probably leave your page. He or she may also give you a bad review.
Don't pay for information on how to create a website. Books on web design may be a decent investment. A number of magazines and books are available that provide helpful information. However you can usually find all of this information online for free. Free books have just as good information as those that cost you money.
Once your site is published online, you don't get to stop working on it's design! You will have to keep working actively on your site. It will not be necessary to continually make updates, but you should do so fairly regularly. That is particularly the case if you host videos or deal with current events. Maintaining your site is different from making an occasional post on your blog. It takes quite a bit of work.
A visual sitemap is a recommended option when building a website, as it will help you plan things in advance. A visual sitemap gives you an open view of the progress being made with your structure. This will allow you to hone in on anything that needs some tinkering, or perhaps something that you have completely overlooked. When you have a clear visual, anything is possible.
You should always create a visual sitemap so that you can plan ahead accurately. When you utilize a sitemap that is visual, you can see just how the site's structure is developing. This allows you to quickly identify areas of your website that have been overlooked, or could use improvements. Having a visual representation is key to designing a website.
If you are creating multiple pages for your website, you should take advantage of your operating system's copy/paste functions. Rather than generating a HTML code for all pages, just copy the main portion of the code, change it when it's needed, and save the code every time. Keep a master copy of your code and adapt it to your different pages.
Search Box
Attempt to give dedicated time on a regular basis to making your website improvements. Putting in a few minutes here and there is likely to be less effective than devoting larger amounts of time. If you stay motivated and work really hard on your website, your skills as a web designer will increase. You will also find that you are more able to remember html code, so you will no longer have to keep referring to reference pages.
Make sure that you place a search box at the top of each of your webpages, and ensure that the input field is at least 26 characters. Use a button that says 'search', rather than 'go' or 'submit'. Taking these steps ensures that visitors can find and use the search box easily so that they can find whatever they are seeking.
Think about unusual inspirational sources when you are considering site design. Children's art projects, print magazines, TV and more can provide interesting ideas. Continually look for inspiration as you go about your day to day life.
It might be best to look at alternatives to Flash. Flash can look exciting and high-tech, but on some machines it will lag and cause a site visitor's computer to lag. On top of this, some mobile devices and tablet computers lack an installation Flash software and there is also an ongoing standardization of open software that performs the same tasks that Flash traditionally has done, an example being HTML5 video.
At this point, it can be difficult to find an appealing domain name that has not already been taken by larger companies. In this case, sites like Sedo may be your best bet; these sites auction off used domain names. These sites are clearinghouses for outstanding domain names that are now unused or have been sold which you can now pick up for comparatively little money.
Get free stock images to save money. They are all over the web, and many of them are very good images. Since you are saving money on images, the extra money can be put towards other parts of your business.
Make sure that you are always staying on top of the industry. As you are probably aware, many things in the tech world change quickly, so it will show if you fall behind with your site. Design blogs are fast and useful ways to stay current and competitive.
As stated in the article, you just need the right information to build your own website. You can create a great site with some easy advice. Use what you learn here to get you started on your first site design.
With the amount of time that your visitors likely spend on social networking sites, it makes sense to add links to your site to let them share your content on their favorite social sites. It will allow them to show their friends the great information they've found while bringing you increased traffic.

The Altamas area in Sudan is a buffer strip between the North and South which includes great ethnic diversity; here we are referring specifically to the Southern Bahr el-Ghazal and Southern Kordofan. These areas, like many regions of Sudan, have continued to suffer from poverty, a decrease in development services and a lack of infrastructure. This is due to the great negligence of the successive Governments of the Center, which exercised partiality in the development process and focused on one area over the others. In addition to this negligence Altamas zone is characterized by a very special status. It was the front line of the Second Sudanese civil war, which lasted about twenty one years. This produced a clearly visible result in the destruction of the social network among the ethnically diversity of people of Altamas, and has drawn all the tribes (such as ALMissirria, the Dinka, Nuer, Nuba, and Alhawazma) to engage in the war directly or indirectly against their will. This deteriorating situation requires a major effort to reform and restore confidence among the people of Altamas areas. Such a fundamental reform depends substantially on the outcome of development process for the inhabitants of the region such as poverty eradication and promoting culture of peace.

Why Altamas
It is true that the main responsibility for the development in Altamas area lies with the Government of Sudan, but witnesses confirm that the government continued to marginalize the region on a regular basis. This continuous neglect led some of the Canadian emigrants from Sudanese descendent to undertake voluntary and civilian action to serve the interests of the people. This deteriorating situation requires a major effort to reform and restore confidence among the inhabitants of the Altamas areas. Such a fundamental reform depends substantially on the outcome of a radical development process for the inhabitants of the region, including work to stabilize the tribes and reduce the causes of the conflict, promoting a culture of peace, creating awareness of environmental protection and development, and the optimum utilization of exploitation of the region's natural and human resources in the Altamas area in the aspects of development, awareness of environmental protection, promotion of culture of peace, justice, human rights as well as restoration of the traditions of peaceful coexistence that once prevailed between the tribes of the region for several years. From this standpoint, an appreciable effort is made to establish "Altamas for Peace and Development Association".
Altamas for Peace and Development Association held a bar-b-que party as a part of its outdoor activities that was open to members and non-members alike in Edwards Park. The objective of this get together was to encourage socialization in the community; get the families and children out in the sunshine after a long school year and introduce the organization to non-members. We held various children's games over the afternoon along with some adult programs as well; competitions all in the name of fun and togetherness.
The Association also held a musical party during Eid al-Fitr, a festival that ends the fast of Ramada, which accommodated both members as well as non-members. Women members of the Association have played a key role to make the event a success.

The sawblade-snouted small sharks of the Pristiophoridae family are deep-water inhabitants much different from the larger sawfish (actually batoids), even though the two at first glance might look similar. For example, sawsharks have gills at the sides of their heads like other sharks, and sawfish gills are on the ventral surface. Sawsharks' unique morphology includes long string-like ventral barbels in front of the nostrils on their jagged-tooth snouts, called rostrums, which they slash at prey with to stun them . They have two spineless dorsal fins but no anal fin. All but one known species have five pairs of gill slits; the lone, Pliotrema warreni, has six pairs.
Profile Species: African Dwarf Sawshark (Pristiophorus nancyae)
Distribution: West Indian Ocean to Arabian Sea on upper continental slopes between 286 and 500 meters deep.
Behaviour: Unknown
Biology: Viviparous; virtually unknown.
Diet: Small crustaceans.

This can be used for those that argue the Trinity as well because Christ (The Word) was created INTO Eternity therefore he is also Eternal but His Father has always been Eternal.
Eternity by definition is indefinite and unending. It has no beginning and no end. Psalms 90:2 reveals Yahweh has existed forever. Psalms 93:2 reveals Yahweh is from time indefinite. Job 36:26 reveals Yahweh is beyond our comprehension. His eternal existence cannot be measured by our inferior minds. Our limited thinking and reasoning process cannot comprehend eternity. We are instilled with a BEGINNING for our start in creation. We cannot fathom anything in existence that did not have a beginning. Our comprehension level does not go beyond that.
1 Timothy 1:17 reveals Yahweh is the King of eternity. He is incorruptible. He is invisible. He is the only God in that He is Almighty; no other god can measure up to His Almightiness. He is also to be honored and glorified for eternity.
From the Sacred Scriptures, we all know that Yahweh has existed for eternity; but when did the "Beginning" come into existence? At the John: 8-58, Jesus revealed that he (Jesus the Word) existed even before Abraham came into existence. Abraham was born well before Jesus made his human appearance on this planet. Jesus was imparting a revelation, in that he had existed with his Father Yahweh at an earlier time in eternity.
How do we know that Jesus existed during ETERNITY with his Father Yahweh?
John 17:5 answers that question. He has glory along side his Father prior to the creation of the world. So, was that the "Beginning?" It was a beginning, but not our beginning. It was still ETERNITY at that time. Revelation 1:1 and Revelation 3:14 reveals that Jesus was the beginning of the first creation by Yahweh. Colossians 1:15 reveals Jesus was made in the image of Yahweh. We also know that he existed with Yahweh before coming to Earth because of what is revealed at John 6:62.
The Scriptures have established that Jesus was the first creation by Yahweh Himself, and thus he (Jesus as the Word) had a pre-human existence along side his Father; that being a "Beginning" for Jesus (the Word) coming into existence; but, it was not our "Beginning," it was his beginning. Jesus the Word was created into ETERNITY at his beginning. We know this because Genesis 1:1 states that "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Was that Yahweh that created the heavens and the earth? No. The Word created them. The Scriptures will bear that out, but the point here, is that this Scripture at Genesis 1:1 starts off with OUR BEGINNING. In part that Scripture states "the beginning." That's the beginning of everything that was created after Jesus the Word had his beginning in creation.
How do we know that? Is this going beyond the Scriptures? If that were true, it would be a miscalculation to just assume that to be truth.
The Scriptures must bear out all that we believe. So how do we know that the beginning did not in fact start with the Word's creation? How do we know he was still part of ETERNITY? To understand all of the Scriptures in the Bible, we have to ascertain whether or not this is the truth. One Scripture builds upon another. They must be in union, or they are not properly placed within the Great Jigsaw Puzzle of the WORD.
So, how do we know that our BEGINNING started at Genesis 1:1? Colossians 1:16-17 gives us insight concerning that important matter. By means of Jesus the Word, all other things were created. But if that's so, why does it say at Genesis 1:1 that "God created the heavens and the earth."? Isn't that a contradiction? Well, to put that piece of the jigsaw puzzle into the correct slot and arrive at the truthful answer, we need to understand which God that Scripture is referring to. The puzzle piece is found at John 1:1-3, 10. It gives the Revelation. The "Word" was and is now known as Jesus Christ. That Scripture reveals that – not in the Heavens and the Earth's BEGINNING, but in the Word's (Jesus' pre-human existence) he spoke of at John 8:58. John 6:62. John 17:5, and at Colossians 1:15, he was instilled along side his Father Yahweh.
Although the Word (Jesus) was created a God, he was not an Almighty God. Jesus said at John 14:28 that his Father was greater than him. Revelation 1:8 reveals Yahweh is the Alpha and Omega. But the Word, in order to be able to create life, he had to be a God himself.
No other creation – not any angel, whom are superior in creative design to all but Jesus and Yahweh, not even they can create life. They are not God's. They do not share the Godship that Jesus shares with his Father. Only Yahweh could bestow that gift upon the Word.
But how do we know for certain that Jesus is like his Father Yahweh in every way? John 5:19 answers that question. Proverbs 8:22 gives more pieces of the puzzle and insight into the Word's (Jesus') BEGINNING. But, did the Word indeed exist during Eternity? Can it be proven in the Scriptures? Proverbs 8:23 reveals "I was appointed from eternity…" There's your answer; and it goes on to say "from the beginning, before the world began." So, that BEGINNING was into ETERNITY – not our BEGINNING. It was the Word's beginning.
Now we come to our BEGINNING. By definition Beginning means, to come into being, or have as its starting point. That's a BEGINNING.
The Word had one, and so did all else; but all else came through who?
Colossians 1:16-17 reveals the BEGINNING of the Word's work as the master-worker or craftsman, as pointed out at Proverbs 8:30 giving him that vocation. Therefore, Genesis 1:1 is in line in stating that God created the heavens and the earth. The Word is also a God, and he created on behalf of his father Yahweh whom is the Almighty God. And because the Word is the exact image of Yahweh, it would not be incorrect to say that He too created all that is in existence, because the Word is from Yahweh and Yahweh owns all that is in existence.
What the Word does throughout creation is a reflection upon his Father and His Sovereignty.
Now that we have ascertained our Beginning, we will have a clearer and better understanding of what Jesus meant when he made the statement about Satan the Devil being a murderer from the beginning; you can find that Scripture at 1 John 3:8. The angelic hosts beginning began with our beginning; even though they were created millions of years before the first human couple were created and procreated on this planet. The visible creations by the Word, and the Heavens and the holy angelic hosts were all part of our own beginning.
That's where TIME starts for the invisible and the visible creations. With the Word as the craftsman. That's why it says Satan has been sinning since the beginning. It speaks of our beginning, not the Word's; and since Yahweh has no beginning or end, He is excluded from any beginning. He has always existed.
If you've understood this much of the jigsaw puzzle, you now comprehend that everything the Word (Jesus) created as his Father's masterworker – that was the BEGINNING we know and have come to understand as TIME. In essence, our BEGINNING began when the Word created everything else in existence. But, you need to understand that Yahweh still exists in ETERNITY. He is forevermore ETERNAL.
That is the prize He offers through his Only Begotten Son Christ Jesus' Kingdom. It is ETERNAL LIFE – THROUGHOUT ETERNITY.

Introduction to Technical Seminar Topic on DCOM Technology:
DCOM is a Microsoft application which supports the communication of different computers on a network like LAN, WAN and even internet also. The DCOM is extension COM( component object model). By using distributed application we can run the components on the client side and on the server side when required or in necessary situations. The distributed applications can use a single server for running all the components and these provide flexibility for the system administrator. In this paper we will see how distributed applications work and the advantages of using distributed applications for consumer applications.
Brief on DCOM architecture and working:
Distributed component object model has added advantages than COM and adds more complexity. The component object model is used to define the interaction between the client and the component without the need of any intermediate system. In operating systems the process between each other are shielded and direct calls cannot be between the client and the components but DCOM connects them through intercept calls and the communication is transparent to the user.
The DCOM replaces the local inter process communication through network protocol when the component and the client reside on different systems. The DCOM maintains a reference count of each component which are used by single clients or which are shared by multiple clients. The DCOM can use any protocols like connection less and connection oriented and this application is completely protocol neutral.
Advantages of using Distributed object models:
The type of models provide flexibility for the system manager and these are very scalable than other applications. This application can be easily extended depending upon the requirements. It makes a proper use of bandwidth for handing the communication to the end users. Provides a high symmetric communication between the components and is highly secure.

Kevin was a minor character featured in the episode M. Night Shaym-Aliens!. He is an unassuming Zigerion that is often picked on for his nerdy disposition. Kevin was directly responsible for researching human nudity which resulted in the creation of a lifelike Morty simulation.
Though his research of human nudity allowed the race to create a convincing Morty, he was continually mocked by the other Zigerions. It is presumed he died when the Zigerion ship blew up.
- While all other Zigerians have two tentacles, Kevin is the only one with four, an ode to the old adage of those with glasses being called "four eyes"

My husband told me about the Doritos taco at Taco Bell the other day. He said it was pretty good. While I normally don't listen to him, I found myself wanting to try it. Today was the day. First off, let me say that I feel bad for the people that work "mcdonalds jobs." at fast food places. The Taco Bell I went to was at one of the local malls and they were slammed. Yet they still got my food out in a decent amount of time. Many props to those people. OK, the Dorito taco. I got the supreme version because I love me some sour cream. The best part of the taco was that the taco shell did not fall apart. Normally, I order soft tacos. I just can't handle taking a bite into a hard taco and having the whole damn thing fall apart. Since these only come in hard taco form, I didn't have a choice. Thankfully, the shell doesn't fall apart at all. I'm not sure how they managed it but win! The down side is that it's basically a big Dorito shaped like a taco shell. That means there is orange Dorito dust on the shell. It didn't make it untasty; it was just unexpected.
Would I recommend eating it? Yes, if you like Nacho Cheese flavored Doritos. Ooh, I wonder how it would taste if they used the ever-popular Cool Ranch flavor. Anyway, it was pretty awesome for a taco. Go eat one.

I stayed one day more than I originally planned, but at the end of the day, it felt short. I think if I stayed there for as long as I live it would still feel short.
What has an end is short.
I have read that the last step of growth is accepting your mistakes, and I might have grown. If I didn't do every mistake that I have done, I wouldn't be me. Even if I was reincarnated many times, I will still commit every one of them again. This self, this entity, it could only exist here today as a result of exactly the life that I have lived.
Maybe I think I have grown because I visit home every few months. To them, nothing in the house changes. But to me, I am able to see how they all keep growing, and I am also reminded of how I grew.
The walls. The dusty books that I have once read. My trophies and awards that stopped as a certain date as if I disappeared.
And, though I try, I cannot ignore noticing our growth in our faces and bodies.
Growth, or getting closer to ending the short journey, is the only reason I think I should come back here to stay. But I also remember every reason I had as a teenager to be independent. Many of those reasons are still valid today.
At the end of this short day, I think I have to apologize to just one person. My dear sister, of two years or younger. I've been away for so long that I recognize you better from your picture. I have no excuse but to say that I wish the future would be long, and that I hope you will live long and know that I love you.

Summary of The Great Escape
Pages: 376
Looking for the book?
We're about to summarize it! You'll get the key insights in just 10 minutes.
8 Overall
In this intriguing study, Princeton economist Angus Deaton examines the relationship between wealth and health – today and historically. Deaton asks: How can people make today's unequal world more equal and fair? He punctures common misconceptions, like the idea that introducing farming improved lives, and addresses historical discontinuities – those periods when the wealthy lived shorter lives than the masses. At times, the professor meanders, exploring ideas or moments (his discussion of "variolation," for instance) that prove intrinsically interesting, though his text would flow more easily without as much detail. Even so, this is a rich, thoughtful analysis. getAbstract recommends Deaton's considered history to anyone interested in science, medicine, patterns of wealth accumulation, foreign aid, public policy, national economies – or human happiness.
In this book, you will learn
- How the societal distribution of wealth has varied throughout history,
- How people escaped poverty and suffering, and
- What factors contribute to health and well-being.

Angus Deaton is the Eisenhower Professor of economics and international affairs at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University.

The Suikoden series is not one of these game series that's undercovered in the web. There are especially many artwork sites out there, but high quality images of the beautiful runes are pretty hard to find. Instead of looking any further, I decided to redo them myself. Since the source images are pretty small, I had problems adding the neccessary details to let the runes look decent in a higher resolution. So I started being a bit creative, I hope the outcome is okay - if you don't agree, you're welcome to send me an e-mail, I am willing to share the original Photoshop files.
This page is not meant to be a guideline for runes, there are better pages out there to get informations about the runes. There are some tidbits of informations here as well, though.
This is the rune that Viki, the "somehow shows up in every part of the series"-character wears. It is not a true rune (you can get it for other characters as well), and it is mostly not too powerful. However, the rune itself looks great and it was easy to reproduce, thus I re-worked it.
Ah, the fire rune. If you're a fellow Suikoden player since the beginning of the series, then this was the very first rune you ever got. Leknaat handed over the fire rune to Cleo. This rune was especially hard to model since it's a very rounded rune with a fiery gradient in the center. This gradient alone looked awkward in the higher resolution, so I decided to create a fiery pattern on my own.
This rune became especially famous because of "lightning" Flik. It is a fairly powerful attack rune in the games, and I especially like the design. Maybe this was the reason I was so disappointed when I first remade the rune. I hope that the fellow Suikoden fans out there aren't mad on me because I painted a bolt into the rune... but as I heard, this doesn't look too bad.
Healing is the job of the water rune. The rune itself looks very calming and peaceful, this is why I especially like the bluish design. However, the design was harder to create since it's very ellipse-based. Just drawing and cutting two ellipses wasn't enough, the rune didn't look like it was one entity. This is actually the result of restarting from scratch three times.
This rune grants the dragon the existance in the world of Suikoden. It is worn by the head of the Dragon Clan, who is Milia these days. I'm not so satisfied with the design, but I didn't want to wait for weeks to "release" this rune, since it was the result of the first rune commission.
This is by far my personal favorite rune. Not just because of that great story that unveils around it in Suikoden 1, but also from an aesthetical point of veiw. The rune looks somehow like a reaper, or just a sickle, or a jumping and crying being... it has so many forms and is so unbelievably deadly at the same time...

Here Comes the Sun: Ambre Nuit, Eau du Sud, and Eau Mer
Ambre Nuit by Dior Privee
It's no rarity in the niche world to have a fragrance name at odds with its contents. Le Labo is legendary for that, as both Rose 31 and Ylang 49 can attest to. Patricia de Nicolai's recent Amber Oud was patently devoid of either amber or oud. And to many who have worn Ambre Nuit by Dior Privee, the same brush applies: where the hell is the amber? Well, it's there, friends, you just have to be patient, and perhaps shift expectations of what an 'amber' fragrance is. KEEP ON READING

Black, Blue, Brown, Red and White: The United Colors of Montale
There are 104 Montale fragrances registered in the Fragrantica database, all of which were released in the last eight years. It is impossible to keep up, so I am just going to give a brief rundown of some of the most popular ones (well, the only ones I've tried outside of Aoud Cuir d'Arabie, that is, but I refuse to talk about that one).
Blue Amber: Ambers, and especially vanillic ambers, are the comfort blankets of the perfume world for me, so I have to constantly be on guard against my Pavlovian response to them (basically, sit, roll over, and present tummy for rubbing), otherwise I'd end up with ten bottles of minute variations on the same theme. My response to Blue Amber's big, dopey play-dough amber is initially the predictable one – I want to roll around in it. Done in the Montale style – rich, slightly synthetic, and none too subtle – it has the potential to be someone's baby bear porridge of the amber category. Weight-wise, it sits between the sheer woody-rose amber of Histories de Parfums' Ambre 114 and the heavier, more aromatic Ambre Precieux by MPG. Blue Amber is nicely balanced – its toffee and whiskey opening is cut with a huge dose of that icy bergamot oil Montale uses in their aoud compositions, and a big saltmarsh vetiver note in the base adds a pleasing shot of brine. Salt and lemon are very effective palate cleansers. Still, my wallet is safe. It is very nice but, in the end, nothing exceptional. Ambre 114 satisfies me on the sheer amber side, and Ambre Russe is my heavy hitter for winter. Having established – after much trial and error – my North and my South of the amber territory, I am finding it easier to dismiss contenders that fall in the middle. KEEP ON READING

Have you ever felt like you've missed the
Ambra Mediterranea by Profumi del Forte: Amber with a Five O' Clock Shadow
Profumi del Forte's Versilia Vintage Ambra Mediterranea is a woody, smoky, and resinous amber that I see as the John Wayne of ambers – uncompromisingly masculine, rough around the corners, and utterly compelling. Nothing soft or vanillic here. You won't find people on Fragrantica or Basenotes describing it as the perfect 'cashmere sweater' scent. No, this is an amber with dangly bits between its legs and a five o'clock shadow.
Amusingly, the presentation of this fragrance is at complete odds with the character of the scent itself. The bottle is a slim, white classical-looking thing with what looks to be the paw prints of a pussycat all over it. It's just straight up fricking adorable. The press babble – 'gentle luminous notes remind us of the Mediterranean breezes', and so on – is more than a little misleading. If you ask me, the people at Profumi del Forte have missed a prime marketing opportunity here. If they'd put it in a matt, black bottle with horns on it and wrapped it in leather, I bet you anything it would have been catnip to all those overgrown schoolboys on YouTube looking for 'panty-droppers' and 'beast mode projection'. As it is, this fragrance only seems to attract attention among hardcore amber fans. That's a pity, because this is a truly great fragrance, and would make a superb masculine. KEEP ON READING

Bahiana – A Fruity Floral With Brains
Bahiana by Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier is an absolute delight from beginning to end. Part of the delight comes from surprise – this is the rare tropical fruity floral that manages to side step all of the "flip-flops and pina colada" associations that usually go along with the genre. It opens on the most realistic note of freshly peeled mandarins that I have ever smelled. It is so good that I blinked in astonishment and then spent the next few hours spritzing it on again to play this part of the show back again. KEEP ON READING

Craniosacral and Occupational Therapist
What conditions does Alyssa specialize in?
The birth process, beginning with conception, brings incredible changes for the expectant family. The belief with Craniosacral therapy (CST) is that the human body wants to correct or heal itself. CST can be utilized prior to conception (to get the body ready), through pregnancy and labor and delivery. This technique is a wonderful complement to traditional methods of prenatal and postnatal care.
What can I expect during a session?
A Craniosacral therapy session takes place in a peaceful environment. A mother-to-be is typically treated lying on a massage table or in a seated position. Using gentle touch, Alyssa will monitor the rhythm of the fluid that circulates around the central nervous system of the mother and baby to asses potential structural imbalances. Releasing these restrictions of the mother-to-be or baby will create an optimal environment and a body that's performing at its highest level of health and performance. A session can run from fifteen minutes to an hour.

As a whole, information technology professionals learned a lot during the recent economic downturn. One important lesson: Some certifications are recession-proof.
Frank Han, vice president of Robert Half Technology, explains that certifications and training are a worthwhile investment for IT professionals, even during slow times. "Especially when you take a look at the shifting economy, the people who are looking for work, a certification could be the potential advantage over other candidates that are in competition for the job," Han told Dice.com. "It could give you the extra edge, all things being equal."
Even has the economy recovers, Han's point holds true. The value of Microsoft certs withstands the test of time--even during turmoil--thanks to the vendor's nearly 90 percent share of the market.
Among the most practical of the esteemed vendor certs is the Microsoft Certified Desktop Support Technician (MCDST) accreditation.
Who can benefit from MCDST training?
Education information from Microsoft indicates that the MCDST credential validates skills needed to troubleshoot Windows desktop environments.
Professionals in some of today's most in-demand support positions can benefit from earning this accreditation, as it shows skills needed to make a difference in a variety of job roles:
- Help desk technicians
- Computer support specialists
- Customer support representatives
- Technical support specialists
- Technical support representatives
Microsoft also notes that desktop support certification is most relevant for pros with customer-service skills, who can "can educate users and solve hardware or software issues on the Windows client system." Additionally, vendor information suggests there are no plans to retire the MCDST, so it will likely continue to hold its value as long as Windows dominates the marketplace.
The best candidates for MCDST certification, according to information from the vendor, have six months to a year of experience in a support role.
MCDST upgrade path makes advancing simple
After a professional obtains the MCDST endorsement, he or she is likely to find many opportunities for advancement. Microsoft training information indicates one can earn the more advanced Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist or Microsoft Certified Information Technology Professional certs with just one exam after obtaining MSDST status.
Making MCDST training pay
Numbers show that certification and training make a big difference in the job market. Statistics from vendor Microsoft indicate that 63 percent of hiring professionals are confident that "certified individuals are more productive on the job."
Not only can Microsoft Certified Desktop Support Technician training make it easier to get a job or snag a promotion, it might lead to more money. Salary information reflected in the 2011 Global Knowledge IT Skills and Salary report shows that the right certs can easily translate into a bigger paycheck.
Though the survey showed that workers in end-user help desk and support roles earned annual earnings of approximately $52,650, professionals with MCDST training took home significantly more each year--about $60,360.

It's faux fabric week and I struggled to think what I could do when I remembered I had a faux linen texture paint effect in my little technique book. Out it came and eh voila a new binder was created with the linen effect on both the outside and inside covers.
Once it was finished like this it is much easier to see close up and difficult to photo.
I wanted to keep this rather shabby looking so I used both Titanium White and Titan Buff Premium Acrylics with Traditions Glazing Medium. I mixed Titan Buff first 50/50 with the glazing medium and painted sections vertically then took a dry brush and gently pulled the bristles in the same direction wiping the paint off on the kitchen roll between each swipe. I dried it and them mixed the Titanium White in with what was left over, added a bit more glazing medium and repeated the process only this time painting in the horizontal direction
It wasn't easy to capture the effect on camera being a dull day, but here is stage 1 ........
.... and then stage 2.
I think my practice piece gives you a better idea of what the effect looks like.
Next I glued on some magnets for keeping the binder flap closed and added some texture with these Tando stencils and DecoArt White Modeling Paste.
When it was dry I spritzed on some water, dipped a small paint brush in cobalt teal hue and dabbled it around spritzing a bit more and dried it. Then I mixed some raw umber with water in a mini mister and sprayed some of that over and dried it.
I gathered some embellishments and painted the chipboards white and then adhered them to the covers adding all the embellishments .......
...... before having some fun with gesso and mixing my own paint sprays in cerulean blue, prussian blue hue and titanium white media acrylics. I finished off with white and burnt umber splatters and some remnant rubs.
If you were given the challenge 'faux fabric' what would you have made? Comments below please. :o)
Thanks for stopping by.

Starting on Jan. 22, 2018, travelers from a handful of states may have to show an alternate ID to Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents at the airport, ON BUSSES, AND STATE HIGHWAYS. This is because the REAL ID Act, which was passed by Congress in 2005, will go into effect.
Essentially, this act established minimum security standards for state-issued driver's licenses (and ID cards), and prohibits the TSA from accepting cards that don't meet the standards. Several states have requested extensions to become compliant, many of which expired on Oct. 10. New extensions may be granted, but for now, the grace period for states ends on Jan. 22.
Currently, only 26 states are fully compliant, so residents of those areas can continue to use their state-issued driver's license when passing through airport security. The remaining states, including New York, California, Illinois and Louisiana, are currently under review. This means that they may be granted an extension and given more time to become compliant. Or it could mean that residents of these states will have to use an alternative form of ID when flying in 2018.
Alternative forms of ID
The easiest back-up ID option is your passport. The problem, is that only 36% of Americans have a valid passport, according to the U.S. Department of State.
At $135, passports can be expensive and unnecessary, especially if you have no desire to travel internationally. In this case, a passport card may make the most sense. For starters, it's cheaper. First-time adult applicants can get one for $55, and the cost is $40 for children. The card is valid for 10 years (5 years if you're 16 or younger), after which a renewal will cost $30.
Another perk of a passport card that makes it better than a license is that it allows for some international travel. Cardholders can use the wallet-sized document to re-enter the U.S. at border-crossings or ports-of-entry from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda.
The TSA has a full list of all identification that will be accepted, but some of the more popular alternatives include:
- DHS trusted traveler cards (Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI, FAST)
- U.S. military ID (active duty or retired military and their dependents, and DoD civilians)
- Permanent resident card
- Border crossing card
- DHS-designated enhanced driver's license
Time is of the essence
It's unclear if any states will be granted an extension, so if your state isn't currently compliant, it's time to consider some other options. A passport can take four to six weeks to arrive, while a passport card can take up to three weeks. Applying now means shorter wait times, compared with next year when procrastinators will be looking for new IDs before their spring trips.
Even if your state does get an extension, it doesn't hurt to just get it out of the way. Beginning Oct. 1, 2020, you can only use a REAL ID compliant driver's license or another acceptable form of identification for domestic air travel.

These are the journeys of the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron.
And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of the LORD: and these are their journeys according to their goings out.
And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians.
For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments.
And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth.
And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness.
And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto Pihahiroth, which is before Baalzephon: and they pitched before Migdol.
And they departed from before Pihahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah.
And they removed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elim were twelve fountains of water, and threescore and ten palm trees; and they pitched there.
And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea.
And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin.
And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in Dophkah.
And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush.
And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink.
And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in the wilderness of Sinai.
And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at Kibrothhattaavah.
And they departed from Kibrothhattaavah, and encamped at Hazeroth.
And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah.
And they departed from Rithmah, and pitched at Rimmonparez.
And they departed from Rimmonparez, and pitched in Libnah.
And they removed from Libnah, and pitched at Rissah.
And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah.
And they went from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shapher.
And they removed from mount Shapher, and encamped in Haradah.
And they removed from Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth.
And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath.
And they departed from Tahath, and pitched at Tarah.
And they removed from Tarah, and pitched in Mithcah.
And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah.
And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth.
And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in Benejaakan.
And they removed from Benejaakan, and encamped at Horhagidgad.
And they went from Horhagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah.
And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah.
And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at Eziongaber.
And they removed from Eziongaber, and pitched in the wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh.
And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.
And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first day of the fifth month.
And Aaron was an hundred and twenty and three years old when he died in mount Hor.
And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.
And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah.
And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon.
And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth.
And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Ijeabarim, in the border of Moab.
And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibongad.
And they removed from Dibongad, and encamped in Almondiblathaim.
And they removed from Almondiblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.
And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
And they pitched by Jordan, from Bethjesimoth even unto Abelshittim in the plains of Moab.
And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places:
And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.
And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit.
But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.

The 10 Best Milkshakes in New York CityJune 20, 2018 - by Chelsey Grasso
A milkshake can turn any day into an extraordinary day, especially if it comes from one of these ten NYC restaurants. The milkshakes that are being served at the locations below are far from ordinary, bursting with rich flavors, and perfectly creamed for your stomach's sweet-craving appetite. Try one, try two, or try them all. (Let's be real, you're going to want to try them all.)
Best of NYC Milkshakes: Black Tap (West Village)
Black Tap has a top-notch menu of classic shakes, including Black Cherry, Nutella, and Caramel…but it's the Crazy Shakes that will blow your culinary mind. Going for $15 a pop, these enormous treats are decadently covered in candies, cookies, and baked goods galore. The Cotton Candy Strawberry Shake is a favorite thanks to its vanilla-frosted rim, pearl chocolates, lollipop, rock candy, whipped cream, and cotton candy toppings. If you're craving something a little more on the savory side, the Sweet 'N' Salty has got you covered. Additional locations in the South Village, SoHo, and Midtown West. 248 W. 14th St., 212-675-7236, blacktapnyc.com
Best of NYC Milkshakes: Brooklyn Farmacy & Soda Fountain (Carroll Gardens)
This throwback soda parlor in Carroll Gardens is the total package. It's a quaint, vintage atmosphere with a menu chock-full of sundaes with names like Mr. Potato Head, a surprisingly long list of ice cream floats, and killer shakes. You can play fast and loose with your milkshake order (think of this as a bar for non-alcoholic beverages), but if you order off the menu, go for the black and white with vanilla ice cream and hot fudge. Or take a step out and get the Flatbush, which is a vanilla or chocolate egg cream, which is made not with eggs but with seltzer (go figure!). 513 Henry St., 718-522-6260, brooklynfarmacyandsodafountain.com
Best of NYC Milkshakes: Bill's Bar & Burger (Midtown West)
Conveniently located at Rockefeller Center, Bill's Bar & Burger has the classic beer-and-shake combo covered. Bill's offers three tiers of milkshakes: Classics, Signatures, and Monsters. Classic flavors are chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry, while Signatures include Cookies & Dream and s'mores-y Campfire. But the standout milkshake is the Chocolate Peanut Butter Bomb. It's blended with Reese's Pieces, salted peanuts, chocolate sauce, and peanut butter cups. We'll see you there! Additional location in the Financial District. Bill's Bar & Burger's Rockefeller Center location is located at 16 W. 51st St., 212-705-8510; downtown location: 85 West St., 212-567-2300, billsbarandburger.com
Best of NYC Milkshakes: Oddfellows Ice Cream Co. (East Village)
If you're looking to take a walk on the wild side, stop by Oddfellows for an odd-in-a-good-way milkshake. They have an ube-flavored shake topped with miso butterscotch drizzle and crumbled fortune cookies, for example (yes, please). You could also use their small-batch flavors like buttermilk honey blueberry or extra virgin olive oil as your base. Whatever your palate, we'd recommend you go flexible, as their available flavors can change on a daily and even hourly basis. Locations in the East Village, SoHo, Williamsburg, DUMBO, and Bushwick. Soho: 55 E. Houston, 646-756-4377, oddfellowsnyc.com
Best of NYC Milkshakes: Lexington Candy Shop (Upper East Side)
Malted milkshakes make us think of the 1950s, soda shops, and sock hops. Come get a taste of the past at Lexington Candy Shop, which serves malted milkshakes sure to satisfy your craving for milkshakes and nostalgia. Malted milkshakes are just milkshakes made with malted milk powder, a slightly savory mixture of milk, barley, and wheat in powder form. Try chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry—and/or one of Lexington Candy Shop's root beer floats! 1226 Lexington Ave., 212-288-0057, lexingtoncandyshop.net
Best of NYC Milkshakes: Momofuku Milk Bar (East Village)
Known for their sweet treats and unique recipes, Momofuku Milk Bar definitely makes our list of best NYC milkshakes. Specifically, the Crunch Cereal Shake is one for the books. This Cereal Milk Shake is blended with cornflakes to create a smooth yet crunchy milkshake that tastes like you're slurping down the leftover milk in your morning breakfast bowl. The Birthday Cake Shake takes a similar approach, consisting of Cereal Milk Shake with birthday truffles blended in. Additional locations in Midtown West, Upper West Side, Nolita, and Brooklyn. 251 E. 13th St., 347-577-9504, milkbarstore.com
Best of NYC Milkshakes: Serendipity 3 (Upper East Side)
Serendipity 3 serves up a slew of Frrrozen Drinks, including their famous Frrrozen Hot Chocolate, Peanut Butter Frrrozen Hot Chocolate, and Frrrozen Mochaccino. These iconic beverages come in enormous servings, overflowing with fluffy whipped cream, so you may want to bring a buddy along to share with if you know somebody with a major sweet tooth. Also, be sure to sip slowly, as these chocolatey shakes have been known to cause the occasional brain-freeze (but it's totally worth it!). 225 E. 60th St., 212-838-3531, serendipity3.com
Best of NYC Milkshakes: Harlem Shake (Harlem)
There are quite a few milkshakes to try at Harlem Shake (Black and White, Salted Caramel, Peach, Strawberry, Peanut Butter, Double Chocolate and Bacon, Wild Cherry, and Cookies and Cream…just to name a few), but it's their namesake milkshake that tops the list. The Harlem Shake is a red velvet flavored creation, and it's every bit as delicious as you would dare to imagine. Additional location in Harlem. 100 W. 124th St., 212-222-8300, harlemshakenyc.com
Best of NYC Milkshakes: Bareburger (Midtown East)
Bareburger sources all of its ice cream from Blue Marble, the only certified-organic creamery that's local to NYC—and trust us when we say you can taste the difference. The Banana Foster is a favorite, made with vanilla ice cream, banana, and caramel sauce. Also popular among New Yorkers is the Mexican Chocolate, made with chocolate ice cream, cayenne, cinnamon, and torched marshmallow. Additional locations in Greenwich Village, East Village, Chelsea, Midtown West, Financial District, Brooklyn, and Queens. 514 Third Ave., 212-679-2273, bareburger.com
Best of NYC Milkshakes: Van Leeuwen (East Village)
As far as we're concerned, Van Leeuwen serves the best ice cream in the city (fighting words, we know). Their milkshakes pass with flying colors as well, since their made with small-batch artisanal ice cream. You can try flavors like Earl Grey, pistachio, or salted caramel. Van Leeuwen's vegan, coconut-based ice cream is spectacular as well—ask for one scoop of vegan chocolate and one scoop of vegan peanut butter chocolate chip in your shake, and thank us later. Or wake up with an affogato: vanilla ice cream blended with plenty of chilled espresso. Locations in the East Village, West Village, the Upper West Side, Nolita, Lower East Side, and several in Brooklyn. East Village: 48 E. 7th St., 646-476-3865, vanleeuwenicecream.com

Miles Pride is such a small twink that he makes Timo Garrett look big. He gets caught eating all of Timo's lollipops so he has to pay by sucking on a different kind of stick. Miles is happy to bend over and get fucked doggy style, his tiny body heaving with ever push. He never complains, just takes it like a man.

twink (boyish looks)
The action gets underway with plenty of spit and cock sucking not to mention some good old fashion gagging. Then Damian dives in tongue first to get a good taste of this new'cummers' ass; then a couple fingers. The two men exchange more "spit and kiss" and move into a 69 position so Nicolas can taste Damian's ass while he sucks on Nicolas' cock. Satisfied with their foreplay, these two are ready to "up" the action.

Shawn Lane is a bottom who enjoys, "hard cocks." He stands 6'3, has a 9" monster cock and never fucked a guy with it, pity. Shawn shows us some tats he has, most notably, the large angel wings on his back. He says he is bi, but his favorite thing is to get fucked, either doggie style or on his back. As he showers, he works his hole as he fingers himself. As far as sex goes, he likes guys because "it's simple, no kissing, I just bend over and get fucked." He also likes to see the guy cum, "on my face."

Working out on a mat, Xander Spade, covered in tats, swallows Dylan Hyde, in the blue jockstrap. These two BackRoomFuckers.com hotties will both take a pounding, and give one. With enough cock to choke on, Xander seems to be the real "sucker" in this pairing. Checking out the other's hole for "maximum capacity," it is opposites attract as "smooth versus hairy" gets underway. Dylan gives a shout out to, "fuck that hole." Flipping, Xander then gets his filled when Dylan "goes for the hole." Getting that hairy ass up close, the camera zooms in with Dylan pushing in every inch. By the time Dylan blows, Xander is on all fours and groaning for the cream; Dylan deposits and thrusts back in Xander's "man cave."

Lentils in tow
floating slow
river, rendered
pardoned by snow.
Essence encumbered
etches, grows.
Breath sequestered;
bottled clothes.
Barren bedside,
ripple of light.
Polyester penance,
dewed sight.
Lentils in tow
floating slow
river, rendered
pardoned by snow.
Essence encumbered
etches, grows.
Breath sequestered;
bottled clothes.
Barren bedside,
ripple of light.
Polyester penance,
dewed sight.
The flaw runs along the length
of my pale, clay and shale torso.
A tectonic fault
brought about by wanton weather patterns
iridescent shifts
fffin the eyes
fffin the palms
forgotten hymns remixed within
embalmed Toonami psalms.
I learned how to plant trees as a child.
Often they grew, thanking me for the soil.
You'd think, after years of building life by
filling spaces for the betterment
of the (immediate) world
I would know how to re-purpose a shovel,
I would know that one needs to add each single, solid, soft layer
of earth, of mineral, of sand and solar love
one at a god damn time.
All the way from the bottom
up through the star
hidden in the bridge of my nose.
Instead, I took a 2 dimensional spoon from some cartoon on the tube
and slammed it against the surrounding edges of my canyon
smiling at the delirious, dehydrated state of the being I was, laughing at the deepening, increasingly busted state of the psyche I toiled to correct.
Shrugging sunburnt shoulders and exclaiming, with no certainty and no care for it aside, "hopefully the dust settles such that all is well and fine, the hole is filled and once again we can think about sunshine, or perhaps even a solitary emotion rooted in more than air and empty arcs."
Would you like to know why, dear writer, you will never be worthy of the sun? Of that last cup of water, of a kiss beneath a crimson blanket as the song you hate most plays and you forget to care about the overly crusted chorus?
No matter how long you spend dreaming up a field of molten love and distant skies fit to brim with salubrious storms, no matter how many drinks you can fit behind your glazed eyes before the night is done, and no matter how few times you say "I truly despise your character", the smoke will always fall off of that same balcony beneath the same moon and it's neighborhood stars.
Ah, but no one said friendly.
It was always assumed.
Your heart is gold and your hands are cold, Halsey.
But my heart is a weak and fearful sponge, and my hands are too recklessly uncreative to find a way to say anything better about that which pumps them full of purpose, second in and second out.
I know what you're asking, dear writer. It's what you always ask on nights like this. Nights where, you feel you've finally beat enough dust into the air to hide the fact that there even is a canyon anymore. A gap of any sort. One can hardly find an uneven surface, so long as they refrain from wincing.
"What do I do? How do I finally do it? Why am I still like this, even though I am no longer like that?"
I will never have an answer better than this. This. What you are doing. Actually thinking about helping and doing your best to go and go and go until there is some sort of brighter future on the horizon, for you, or for anyone really, to chase.
Keep going. Create the horizon. You know you want to because you keep looking at it, asking, pleading, knowing it will not answer. So make it answer. Create the horizon, and dye the storms with your eyes.
I cannot help with the canyon, however. I'm a poem, not a therapist. Get a therapist, and make sure they have the right kind of shovel–the short handle one with the nice plastic grip surrounding decent iron, the one you used to plant 100 trees in a single day. Let them toil away at you, as you toil at the world. Everyone needs help. Get help.
Get help so that you yourself can help. So that you yourself can finally, maybe, perhaps at last, sing the song buried at the bottom of your canyon, the one that needs good top soil reaching all the way to the surface. The one that yes, will then need water every single day after the hole is filled and yes, the one that will need sunlight from each separate dawn until the dawn's respective end and yes, mulch that will not simply be tossed away by the next alcoholic breeze.
You want to finally sprout? You'd like a tree that means something? A day where you finally feel worthy of a kiss, of sweet songs written with the quills of the moon?
Soil. Water. Sun. Mulch. Love.
Love throughout.
Love instead.
Love even so.
Love, in rest.
Now play me out with the droopy notes threatening to end the concert of your eyelids earlier than expected. There are jobs to do that tired folk should not be doing.

If one could ever begin to twist
like the branches of trees we all derive from
there would be no lack of certainty
in the whims of our sunlight-driven whispers.
Tell me,
when last did you seek warmth without knowing
there is cold to be given in return?
How long will you stand still, shouting
that the evening has left you unturned?
No, the dirt that is shoveled leaves
answers in its wake.
You can add mulch,
broken conversation.
It matters not to your blue spruce.
The only matters a pine needle considers
are those just as pointy as
a minute itself.
Picture a frame
made entirely of dusk.
Your face
realizes its own potential
just as the sun
fades beyond
that which we all have decided
is "bought".
I dream of colors who know each other by name. They leap upon one another, establishing a dominance only known to the kingdom outside civilization. The reactant rocks and emblems of walks combine into a singular emotion, and it does not rest. The body lies in slumber while the mind sits in a corner to wait, a corner of itself, watching the proceedings of its own uncertainty. Warmth is present, but fails to pierce the skin. Lacking any oceans, the heat folds instead of holding, lapping at a flesh inconsiderate of what it houses.
Singular stretching reaches a goal. Symbolic wishes push away action. If one is to wish upon a star, they should seek the dust within. Fairness is only present in the binding, everlasting battle between the blanketing Sun and the stripping space that surrounds. Greet the cacophony of yellow to red as you would the white space between the blues of rest. These words are easy to consume, yet altogether difficult to digest.
I am the first to know when light should linger.
The sun drips through the leaves
Dancing off of their tips.
Tumbling down to the ground,
And your skin.
Without a sound,
It caresses you
The heat adores your hands.
Turning your palm,
You try to touch back
And though there is no grip
The sun knows.
Fall with it
Onto playful grass
Swaying at last
Bearing your weight tenderly.
The Earth misses you
When you're not making

Are you looking for a concrete block machine and don't know which one best suits your needs?
At Poyatos we offer the best solutions and have a wide range of concrete block machines to suit the characteristics and requirements of each company.
So today we are going to talk about the 3 high-production concrete block making machines that we have at our factory, all of them manufactured and patented by us:
1. The Universal: the concrete block making machine that offers maximum reliability
This type of concrete block machine has a 10 level elevator and double tray that performs the vertical movement of the blocks and includes an automatic palletizer with pallet magazine and roller conveyor system.
Furthermore, as stated on our website,"the dosing system for water, cement and aggregates uses different methods to evaluate the correct mix of the components to make concrete blocks completely autonomatically."
2. Novabloc: Save time in your concrete block factory
This machine includes modular vibration which consists of two vibrating shafts which are synchronized unidirectionally. "Two eccentric rotating masses are attached to each shaft which, at full power and load, either offset or complement each other to create different vibration levels without having to shut off the motor" (as we can see in the product description).
3. Megabloc: the high output concrete block machine
Lastly, the high output Megabloc concrete block machine offers a reliable and tried-and-tested system as well as tele-assistance service for breakdowns.

text: Outdoors To a certain extent, taking my family to Egypt recently was an experiment. More and more, whole families are vacationing in Egypt, and that means bringing along children of all ages. So, I wanted to know a little more about how this works out, for both parents and kids. And the answer is…pretty well! Everyone came home happy, from a memorable and enjoyable trip. But we, as a family, made a few discoveries along the way. A specific member of a family with specific interests often encourages a trip to Egypt. Where tours are concerned, that interest is usually in classical antiquities, though it may also be driven by an interest in mythology, scuba diving, or even New Age discoveries. Regardless, it is probably unusual for every member of a household to have the same reasons, or the same level of desire to visit Egypt. This particularly applies to children, but may also be just as applicable to one's spouse. Therefore, certain allowances must be made to satisfy everyone. Though our son is interested in Egypt Travel Packages, nevertheless getting him up early for tours everyday not only proved to be a challenge for him, but on a few occasions, a challenge for my wife as well. There were days where I heard the dreaded, "What kind of vacation is this anyway…too much work!", which mostly meant, "leave me alone, I want to sleep a little longer". And while my wife did participate in most excursions, there were even a couple of days that she felt like taking a break. A certain amount of understanding is in order, as well as allowance for some mix of activities. After the first week, and urging my son not to miss anything, we came to a better understanding, and established a better pace. He was truly interested in the monuments and sightseeing, but sometimes he wanted to relax, wake up late, and go swimming or participate in some other activity. As we allowed this to happen, things went much more smoothly. A few times, my wife opted to sleep in and take in some shopping instead of seeing monuments. Today, Egypt is more than ancient monuments. In fact, it is unlikely that most of the tourists who .e, do so for classical antiquities. Indeed, current statistics point to Egypt's largest draw as being beach destinations on the Red Sea and Sinai, and every day this country seems to add new entertainment adventures. For a typical family, including some of these non-antiquity diversions may be a great idea. Perhaps your husband isn't that keen on the antiquities, but playing on a championship golf course in the shadows of the Pyramids would give him real bragging rights back home. For that matter, what about a game of bowling along the Nile, or even a fishing trip on Lake Nasser, where record breaking fresh water fish have been caught. For many women, Egypt is simply a shopper's paradise and Cairo is one big mall. What makes this all so special is it is easy for a spouse to play golf or shop while the other takes in Sakkara or Old Cairo. For kids, there are always the swimming pools found in most hotels, but there are also amusement parks, Inter. Cafes, and even youth clubs at many of the better hotels. Younger kids tend to love shows including belly dancing and whirling dervish, and generally doing the "night thing" with parents. They also seem to love riding camels and horses, as well as sail boats on the Nile. Older kids can enjoy just getting out on their own a bit, as well as visiting the discos and other entertainment found at many hotels. Sometimes we found a "taste of home" was called for. No problem as a trip to McDonalds, Pizza Hut, TGI Fridays, or even the Hard Rock Cafe is a good fix. Even my wife, who has a much more exotic taste for foods than I, every so often craved a cheeseburger. She found the McDonalds in Luxor to be exactly like home, of course with the exception that it overlooks the Temple of Luxor. About the Author: 相关的主题文章:

PROFESSOR KYLE POWYS WHYTE (Potawatomi)
Māori Engagement in New Zealand's Extractive Industry
In recent years New Zealand has seen a sharp increase in Extractive Industry (oil, gas and mining) projects. The New Zealand government is strongly supportive of investment in the extractives sector and recently adopted a new code to manage industry in New Zealand's Exclusive Economic Zone.
At the same time, there have been high profile demonstrations against mining by environmental groups and iwi/hapū. It is clear, too, that some iwi have been working with industry, particularly in Taranaki. Others have sought a treaty interest in petroleum.
Whakatipu Rawa Mā Ngā Uri Whakatipu
The challenge for Māori carrying out development is to determine how to balance the drivers of a neo-liberal economic approach with the very ideals and principles that define us as Māori to ensure quality social and environmental outcomes for future generations. Through a previous NPM research project "Whakatipu rawa mā ngā uri whakatipu" the team has developed a prototype decision-making framework for collective assets, which takes into account well-being indices, tikanga Māori and financial measures.
"Ka Tangi te Pīpīwharauroa, Ko te Karere a Mahuru"
The whakataukī - Ka tangi te pīpīwharauroa, ko te karere a Mahuru - speaks to how the pīpīwharauroa's call signals that spring has commenced and also conveniently provides an analogy that seems appropriate to the current state of te reo Māori.
It not only invites a consideration of the relationship between the pīpīwharauroa and Mahuru, but also for me, how the notion of 'tangi' might be thought to echo in the struggle for Māori language revitalisation.
Taunakitia Te Marae: Marae as Centres of Excellence - a Te Arawa Perspective
Aneta Morgan (Te Arawa) describes the results of their research project, Taunakitia Te Marae: Marae as Centres of Excellence - a Te Arawa Perspective, the aimof which was to identify and share best practice and aspirations in marae development across Te Arawa marae.
The research, conducted through multiple hui across the rohe, identified three key areas of need that would ensure that marae could be centres of excellence for their people.
• Rangatahi engagement
• Succession planning
• Te Reo Māori

Cosmic Stockholm Syndrome
Friday, March 23rd 2012
On August 23 1973 there was a bank robbery in Stockholm that turned into a siege that lasted 6 days. The captives grew emotionally attached to their captors. Once they were freed, they even defended their captors publicly.
The psychiatrist Nils Bejerot appeared on TV and referred to their behvaiour as "Stockholm Syndrome". Frank Ochberg went on to define it in more detail.
The Universe has a lot to recommend it. Beautiful scenery. The stars. Falling in love. Poetry. Music. Adventure. Or whatever things appeal to you.
But it has a lot of bad things about it, too. I won't detail them. It's too depressing.
And humans don't have much choice about it. We are born into a world over which we have little say. We are, in a way, Cosmic Captives.
But humanity spends a lot of time rationalising the quite appalling state of things to itself. Some people say you're here to learn. Some people say humans are born crooked and need to repent. And so on.
I think anybody who rationalises the situation is suffering from bad case of Cosmic Stockholm Syndrome.
Cultural Fiction

The Urge to the Narrative
Humans need stories. I don't just mean Dr. Suess stories or the Lord of the Rings. I mean something wider. Sequential narratives that fit into the brain.
Personality Test
Wednesday, March 21st 2012
There are many types of personality test. This is one I have concocted after at least 20 mins of deep research.
You see an Llama walking across the street. What do you do?
(1) Greet it.
(2) Launch a thermonuclear strike against it.
(3) See it as a conspiracy.
(4) Become sexually aroused.
Select an option and then click "more".

Super Dominant Cultures & the Black Switch
Monday, March 19th 2012
Jared Diamond (The Third Chimpanzee, p.207)
[...] one New Guinea highlander recalled his life before first arrival of whites in 1930, 'We had not seen far places. We knew only this side of the mountains. And we thought that we were the only living people.'
Some of the tribes of New Guinea lived in terrain the surrounds of which were so inhospitable they remained cut off from the outside world until well into the last century.
The cultural diversity was amazing. Diamond writes that:
New Guinea, with less than one-tenth of Europe's area and less than one-hundredth of its population, has about 1,000 languages, many of them unrelated to nay other known language in New Guinea or elsewhere!

I'm not a god, just a dog
And I don't even love myself
Well, I do now
Sure didn't a breath ago.
I'll let it go, and take another to the chest
A breath, a god reversed, a dog is but a vessel
Don't wrestle. Life is a passenger vehicle
When the last weed is pulled, hands off the wheel
Crash in this field with me
I hear the stars – they have no end
Pardon this next expression
But a dog is man's best friend

Agents are busy people. So if you're getting the run around — "I haven't had time to read it yet" or "I just returned from maternity leave" — it's time to move on.
That means ask everyone you know if they know an agent. Or if the people THEY know know an agent. Ask published authors for the name of their agent. Read the books that are similar to yours and see if they thank an agent in the acknowledgements. And when schmoozing and catching up with others at a party or even on the sidelines at your kid's soccer game, tell people you're on a mission to find a good literary agent.
You never know what you can achieve. Unless you're relentless.
