Part 2 out of 2
I MAY not lift him in my arms. His face I may not see--
Are angel hands more tender than a mother's hands may be?
And does he smile to hear the song an angel stole from me?
The wise King said, "He cannot come but I will go to him!"
O David! did you seek with words to make the grave less grim?
And did you think to cheat, with words, the jealous seraphim?
So! he will learn of heaven--he, who scarcely knew the earth.
All fullness waits the baby eyes that never looked on dearth--
The mystery of death usurps the mystery of birth!
What light has earth to give me for the light that heaven beguiled?
What is the calm of heaven to him who has not known the wild?--
O, we are both bereft, bereft--the mother and the child!
I BUILT myself a pleasant house.
Content was I to dwell in it--
Its door was fast against the wind
With all the gusty swell of it.
It had two windows, high and clear,
With trees and skies to shine through them,
They were acquainted with the moon,
And every star was mine through them.
Its walls were silent walls; its hearth
Held little fires to gladden me--
And though the nights might weep outside
No sob crept through to sadden me.
Then came your hand upon the latch
(Although I had not sent for you)
And all Outside came blowing in
The way I had not meant it to!
Upon the hearth my tended flame
Leapt to a blaze and died in it.
The night sought out a hidden place
I had forgot and sighed in it.
My window that had known the stars
Seemed suddenly not high at all.
The trees drew back; the friendly birds
Swept dumbly by, too shy to call.
Said you: "It is a pleasant house,
But surely somewhat small for two!"--
And at your word my walls fell down,
Leaving no house at all, just you.
The Sea's Withholding
THE ladye's bower faced the sea,
Its casements framed a sea-born day.
She saw the fishers sail away,
And, far and high,
The gulls sweep by
Within the hollow of the sky!
She saw the laggard twilight come
And, chased by rippling wakes of foam,
She saw the fisher fleet come home--
Brown sails a-sheen
Against the green
With shadows creeping in between!
She saw, when it was evening, all
Day's banners stream in crimson rout
Till night's soft finger blurred them out,
And, high and far,
A perfect star
Shone where the keys of heaven are!
"O far and constant star," she said,
"O passing sail, O passing bird,
O passing day--bring you no word
Of winds that steer
His ship a-near?
Where sails my love that sails not here?
"The days in splendid pageant pass,
In lovely peace the nights go by,
And day and night are sweet; but I--
I cannot say
Lo, the bright day!
Can it be dawn and love away?"
Love Unkind
OUT upon the bleak hillside, the bleak hillside, he lay--
Her lips were red, and red the stream that slipped his life away.
Ah, crimson, crimson were her lips, but his were turning gray.
The troubled sky seemed bending low, bending low to hide
The foam-white face so wild upturned from off the bleak hillside--
White as the beaten foam her face, and she was wond'rous eyed.
The soft, south-wind came creeping up, creeping stealthily
To breathe upon his clay-cold face--but all too cold was he,
Too cold for you to warm, south-wind, since cold at heart was she!
Sweet morning peeped above the hill, above the hill to find
The shattered, useless, godlike thing the night had left behind--
Wept the sweet morn her crystal tears that love should prove unkind!
Christmas in Heaven
HOW hushed they were in Heaven that night,
How lightly all the angels went,
How dumb the singing spheres beneath
Their many-candled tent!
How silent all the drifting throng
Of earth-freed spirits, strangely torn
By dim and half-remembered pain
And joy but newly born!
The Glory in the Highest flamed
With awful, unremembered ray--
But quiet as the falling dew
Was He who went away.
So swift He went, His passing left
A low, bright door in Heaven ajar--
With God it was a covenant,
To man it seemed a star.
I Whispered to the Bobolink
I WHISPERED to the bobolink:
"Sweet singer of the field,
Teach me a song to reach a heart
In maiden armor steeled."
"If there be such a song," sang he,
"No bird can tell its mystery."
I bent above the sweetest rose,
A deeper sweet to stir--
"O Rose," I begged, "what charm will wake
The deep, sweet heart of her?"
"Alas, poor lover," sighed the rose,
"The charm you seek no flower knows."
I wandered by the midnight lake
Where heaven lay confessed
"Tell me," I cried, "what draws the stars
To lie upon your breast?"
The silence woke to soft reply
"When Heaven stoops--demand not why!"
"Alas, sweet maid, love's potent charm
I cannot beg or buy,
I cannot wrest it from the wind
Or steal it from the sky--"
Breathless, I caught her whisper low,
"I love you--why, I do not know!"
SLANTING rain and a sky of gray,
Drifting mist and a wind astray,
The leaden end of a leaden day
And you--away!
Light in the west! The sky's pale dome
Gemmed with a star; a scented gloam
Of bursting buds and rain-wet loam
And you--at home!
The Mother
LAST night he lay within my arm,
So small, so warm--a mystery
To which God only held the key--
But mine to keep from fear and harm!
Ah! He was all my own, last night,
With soft, persuasive, baby eyes,
So wondering and yet so wise,
And hands that held my finger tight.
Why was it that he could not stay--
Too rare a gift? Yet who could hold
A treasure with securer hold
Than I, to whom love taught the way?
As with a flood of golden light
The first sun tipped earth's golden rim
So all my world grew bright with him
And with his going fell the night--
O God, is there an angel arm
More strong, more tender than the rest?
Lay Thou my baby on his breast
To keep him safe from fear and harm!
The Vassal
WIND of the North, O far, wild wind
Born of a far, lone sea--
When suns are soft and breezes kind
Why are you kin to me?
Uncounted years above the sea,
Rock-fortressed from its rage,
The fishermen, your fathers, kept
A barren heritage--
Grim as the sea they forced to pay
The sea-toll of their wage.
And lo! The fate which made you hers
And gave you of her best
And set you in a sunny place,
Down-sloping to the West,
Forgot to change your fisher's heart
Serf to the sea's unrest!
Wind of the North! O bitter wind,
I hear the wild seas fret--
In the dim spaces of the mind
They claim me vassal yet!
The Troubadour
THE wind blows salt from off the sea
And sweet from where the land lies green;
I travel down the great highway
That runs so straight and white between--
I watch the sea-wind strain the sheet,
The land-wind toss the yellow wheat!
Song is my mistress, fickle she,
Yet dear beyond all dearth of speech;
Child of the winds of land and sea
She charms me with the charm of each--
Full soft and sweet she sings and then
She sings wild songs for sailor-men!
No staff I carry in my hand,
No pack I carry on my back,
No foot of earth I call my own,
For castle or for cot I lack--
I travel fast, I travel slow,
And where my mistress bids I go!
My gems, the pearl upon the leaf
At mystic hour of the morn;
My gold, the gold that rims the sea
A moment ere the day is born;
And on my breezy couch o' nights
The stars shine down--my taper lights!
Happy am I that sing of love,
Yet from the thrall of love am free;
Happy am I that sing of pain
And quick forget what pain may be!
I sing of death--and lo! To me
Life is supremest ecstacy!
Indian Summer
I HAVE strayed from silent places,
Where the days are dreaming always;
And fair summer lies a-dying,
Roses withered on her breast.
I have stolen all her beauty,
All her softness, all her sweetness;
In her robe of folden sunshine
I am drest.
I will breathe a mist about me
Lest you see my face too clearly,
Lest you follow me too boldly
I will silence every song.
Through the haze and through the silence
You will know that I am passing;
When you break the spell that holds you,
I am gone!
The Unchanged
IF we could salvage Babylon
From times's grim heap of dust and bones;
If we could charm cool waters back
To sing against her thirsty stones;
If, on a day,
We two should stray
Down some long, Babylonian way--
Perhaps the strangest sight of all
Would be the street boys playing ball.
If through Pompeii's agelong night
A yellow sun again might shine,
And little, sea-born breezes lift
The hair of lovers sipping wine,
If, in some fair,
Dim temple there,
We watched Pompeii come to prayer--
Not the strange altar would surprise
But strangeness of familiar eyes!
Ay, should our magic straightly wake
Atlantis from her sea-rocked sleep
And we on some Processional
Look down where dancing maidens leap,
If one flushed maid
Beside us stayed
To tie more firm her loosened braid--
Would not the shaking wonder be
To find her just like you and me?
A BIRD, a wild-flower and a tree--
I care for them, not they for me.
I see all heaven in a pool--
But the frog there takes me for a fool.
To this dead thrush a tear I gave--
All Spring shall sing above my grave,
And naught I spend my heart upon
Know lack or loss that I am gone--
A bird, a wild-flower and a tree,
I cherish them; they suffer me!
Last Things
THERE is no one to do it for me,
But I know what I shall do
When the last dawn breaks o'er me
And the last night is through.
I shall set in pleasant order
The little books I knew,
With flowers on the window ledge
In a shallow bowl of blue.
I'll leave the out door swinging,
(As it might swing for you)
And on the clean swept door-sill
Wild roses I shall strew--
So when pale Death comes trailing
Her branch of sodden rue
She'll gather up my gay content
And know contentment too!
Callous Cupid
CUPID does not care for sighs
Does not care for lover's weeping!
Fair One, dry your pretty eyes,
Cupid does not care for sighs,
Laugh with him if you are wise,
Steel the heart he has in keeping;
Cupid does not care for sighs
Does not care for lover's weeping!
The Meeting
SHE flitted by me on the stair--
A moment since I knew not of her.
A look, a smile--she passed! but where
She flitted by me on the stair
Joy cradled exquisite despair;
For who am I that I should love her?
She flitted by me on the stair--
A moment since I knew not of her!
The Piper
I'VE heard the pipes of Pan
Somewhere, just beyond,--
Over the edge of dawn, I think,
Where the clouds hang soft on the world's dim brink,
Where the red suns rise and the blue stars sink,
I heard the pipes of Pan!
Hush! what you heard was the wind,
The feet of the wind through the leaves,
Or the sigh of the waking night as it stirred.
Or a bird's note afar,
Or the deep breath of June,
Or the fall of a star,
Or the shimmering skirts of the sea-slipping tide
In the wake of the wandering moon!
Nay! 'twas the pipes of Pan!
Somewhere--just beyond--
My soul awoke with a rapturous sigh
(Would I wake my soul for a night bird's cry?)
I heard the winds of the worlds sweep by
To follow the pipes of Pan!
Stay! 'twas a voice that you heard,
A voice that you love, in the wood,
The vibrating note of a half spoken word--
For the great Pan is slain,
Of his pipings we know not one magical strain,
They have fled down the years of a world that was young
Oh, ages and ages ago!
Nay, 'twas the pipes of Pan!
Somewhere--just beyond--
Far as a star, yet piercing sweet,
A passionate, poignant, rhythmic beat--
Till my mad blood raced with my racing feet
To follow the piper--Pan!
THE highways and the byways, the kind sky folding all,
And never a care to drag me back and never a voice to call;
Only the call of the long, white road to the far horizon's wall.
The glad seas and the mad seas, the seas on a night in June,
And never a hand to beckon back from the path of the new-lit moon;
Never a night that lasts too long or a dawn that breaks too soon!
The shrill breeze and the hill breeze, the sea breeze, fierce and bold,
And never a breeze that gives the lie to a tale that a breeze has told;
Always the tale of the strange and new in the countries strange and old.
The lone trail and the known trail, the trail you must take on trust,
And never a trail without a grave where a wanderer's bones are thrust--
Never a look or a turning back till the dust shall claim the dust!
WHEN life wakened in the Spring
All the world was gold and green!
Sunlight lay on everything,
Sailing cloud and soaring wing,
Emerald banks where snow had been,
Drifts of daffodils between.
When Life's pulse beat strong and high
Shone the world in gold and blue!
Canopied with turquoise sky
Summer passed superbly by,
Bluest midnight cupped the dew
Golden morn might sparkle through!
Now that life would rest again
Soft she lies in gold and brown,
Brown the fields and gold the grain,
Brown the little pools of rain,
Gold the leaves that falter down
To brown pavements in the town.
The Materialist
MY soul has left its tent of clay
And seeks from star to star,
'Mid flaming worlds that are to be,
And fruitful worlds that are,
The Voice which spake and said "Live on!"
(When Death said, "You may die")
And sent my spirit wandering
The stairway of the sky.
Still must I seek what on the earth
I sought as fruitlessly--
The world I knew, the heaven I scorned
Lost in infinity:
Alone, and on the ageless breath
Of cosmic whirlwinds spun,
I hurtle through the outer dark
Toward some fantastic sun!--
O God! how happy is the leaf,
A sweet and soulless thing,
Dying to live but in the green
Of yet another Spring--
These heights, these depths, these flaming worlds,
This stairway of the sky
I'd give, had no Voice said "Live on!"
When Death said, "You may die."
Tir Nan Og
THE breeze blows out from the land and it seeks the sea,
O and O! that my sail were set and away--
Fast and free on its wings would my sailing be
To the west: to the Tir Nan Og, where the blessed stay!
The darkness stirs, it awakes, it outspreads its arms,
O and O! and the birds in their nests are still,
The red-browed hill bleats low with the lamb's alarms,
And a sound of singing comes from the slipping rill.
My soul is awake alone, all alone in the earth,
O and O! and around is the lonely night.
As with the sun, would my soul go forth to its birth--
O'er the darkling sea, to the west--to the light, to the light!
Do they say, "Be content with the land of the Innis Fail,
O and O! there is friendship here, there is song."
But they smile to your face, when you turn they stammer and rail
And the song of the singer has tears and is over long!
A call comes out of the west and it calls a name,
O and O! it is soft, it is far, it is low--
Sweet, so sweet that it touches my soul with a flame
That burns the heart from my breast with the wish to go!
(Translated from the Celtic.)
The Little Man in Green
'TWAS a little man in green,
And he sat upon a stone;
And he sat there all alone,
"One and two," so whispered he.
('Twas an ancient man and hoar)
"One and two," and then no more--
Never, "Three".
Hawthorn trees were quick with May--
"Sir," said I, "Good-day to you"!
But he counted. "One and two"
In strange way.
Fool I was--oh, fool was I
(Who should know the ways of them!)
That I touched his cloak's green hem,
Passing by.
I was fey with spring and mirth--
Speaking him without a thought--
Now is joy a thing forgot
On the earth.
Ere the sweet thorn-buds were through,
Wife and child doom-stricken lay,
Cold as winter, white as spray--
"One and two!"
Now I seek eternally
That grim Counter of the fen,
Praying he may count again--
Counting, "Three".
* In the bad chance of a meeting with the "Little People" the
mortal is cautioned not to speak to them nor to touch, but to pass
by quickly with averted eye.--Old tale.
The Enchantress
I FEAR Eileen, the wild Eileen--
The eyes she lifts to mine,
That laugh and laugh and never tell
The half that they divine!
She draws me to her lonely cot
Ayont the Tulloch Hill;
And, laughing, draws me to her door
And, laughing, holds me still.
I bless myself and bless myself,
But in the holy sign,
There seems to be no heart of love,
To still the pain in mine.
The morning, bright above the moor,
Is bright no more for me--
A weary bit of burning pain
Is where my heart should be!
For since the wild, sweet laugh of her
Has drawn me to her snare,
The only sunlight in the world
Is shining from her hair.
Yet well I know, ah, well I know
Why 'tis so sweet and wild--
She slept beneath a faery thorn,
She is a faery child!
And so I leave my mother lone,
No meal to fill the pot,
And follow, follow wild Eileen.
If so I will or not.
I fear to meet her in the glen,
Or seek her by the shore;
I fear to lift her cabin's latch,
But--should she come no more!--
O Eileen Og, O wild Eileen,
My heart is wracked with fear
Lest you should meet your faery kin,
And, laughing, leave me here!
The Banshee
THE Banshee cries on the rising wind
"O-hoho, O hoho-o-o!"
The dead to free and the quick to bind--
(Close fast the shutter and draw the blind!)
"O-hoho, O hoho-o-o!"
Why are you paler my dearest dear?
"O-hoho, O hoho-o-o!"
'Tis but the wind in the elm tree near--
(Acushla, hush! lest the Banshee hear!)
"O-hoho, O hoho-o-o!"
See, how the crackling fire up-springs,
"O-hoho, O hoho-o-o!"
Up and up on its flame-red wings;
Hark, how the cheerful kettle sings!
"O-hoho, O hoho-o-o!"
Core of my heart! How cold your lips!
"O-hoho, O hoho-o-o!"
White as the spray the wild wind whips,
Still as your icy finger tips!
"O-hoho, O hoho-o-o!"
On the rising wind the Banshee cries--
"O-hoho, O hoho-o-o!"
I kiss your hair. I kiss your eyes--
The kettle is dumb; the red flame dies!
"Ochone! Ochone! Ochone!"
The Witch
HER hair was gold and warm it lay
Upon the pallor of her brow;
Her eyes were deep, aye, deep and gray--
And in their depths he drowned his vow.
She wandered where the sands were wet,
Weaving the sea-weed for a crown,
And there at eve a monk she met--
A holy monk in cowl and gown.
She held him with her witch's stare
(A sweet, child-look--it witched him well!)
Upon his lip she froze the prayer,
And in his ear she breathed a spell.
He babbled ever of her name
And of her brow that gleamed like dawn,
And of her lips--a lovely shame
No holy man should think upon.
They hunted her along the sea,
"Witch, Witch!" they cried and hissed their hate--
Her hair unbound fell to her knee
And made a glory where she sate.
Her song she hushed and, wonder-eyed,
She gazed upon their bell and book;
The zealous priests were fain to hide
Lest they be holden by her look.
Most innocent she seemed to be
("The Devil's sly!" the fathers say)
Her eyes were dreaming eyes that see
Things strange and fair and far away.
They stood her in the judgment hall.
"Confess," they cried, "the blasting spell
That holds yon crazed monk in thrall?"
"Good sirs," she said, "he loved me well."
They haled her to a witch's doom,
They matched her shining hair with flame--
But ever through the cloister's gloom
The mad monk babbles of her name!
And, when the red sun droppeth down
And wet sand gleameth ghostily,
Men see her weave a sea-weed crown
Between the twilight and the sea.
Fairy Singing
SHE was my love and the pulse of my heart;
Lovely she was as the flowers that start
Straight to the sun from the earth's tender breast,
Sweet as the wind blowing out of the west--
Elana, Elana, my strong one, my white one,
Soft be the wind blowing over your rest!
She crept to my side
In the cold mist of morning.
"O wirra" she cried,
"'Tis farewell now, mavourneen!
When the crescent moon hung
Like a scythe in the sky,
I heard in the silence
The Little Folks cry.
"'Twas like a low sighing,
A sobbing, a singing;
It came from the west,
Where the low moon was swinging:
'Elana, Elana'
Was all of their crying.
Mavrone! I must go--
To refuse them, I dare not.
Alone I must go;
They have called and they care not--
Naught do they care that they call me apart
From the warmth and the light and the love of your heart.
Hark! How their singing
Comes winging, comes winging,
Through your close arms, beloved,
Straight to my heart!"
White grew her face as the thorn's tender bloom,
White as the mist from the valley of doom!
Swift was her going--her head on my breast
Drooped like a flower that winter has pressed--
Elana, Elana! My strong one, my white one!
Empty the arms that your beauty had blessed.
Killed in Action
MY father lived his three-score years; my son lived twenty-two;
One looked long back on work well done, and one had all to do--
Yet which the better served his world, I know not, nor do you!
Life taught my father all her lore till he grew wise and gray,
She did but whisper to my son before she turned away--
Yet which her deepest secret held only they two might say.
Peace brought my father restful days, with love and fame for wage;
War gave my son an unmarked grave and an unwritten page--
Who shall declare which gift conveyed the greater heritage?
Spring Came In
SPRING came in with a red-wing's feather
And yellow clumps of the wild marshmallow--
O happy bird, can you tell me whether
In distant France they have April weather?
And little pools that are sunny and shallow?
My soul is awake and my pulse is racing--
My heart is aware that the birds are mating--
Oh, my heart's like a cloud that the wind is chasing
O'er the earth's green blur with its silver tracing
To that sad France where there's someone waiting!
O Spring! begone with your too-sweet clover
And all your bees with honey to carry--
Come again when the war is over,
Come, dear Spring, when you bring my lover!
Yet come no more, should he tarry . . . tarry!
From the Trenches
OH, to be in Canada now that Spring is merry,
Happy apple blossoms gay against the smiling green;
Here the lilac's purple plume and here the pink of cherry,
Hillsides just a drift of bloom with clover in between!
Oh, to be in Canada! there's a road that rambles
Through a leafing maple-wood and up a windy hill,
Velvet pussy-willows press soft hands amid the brambles
Fringing round a sky-filled pool where cattle drink their fill.
Oh, to be in Canada! there's a farmhouse hidden
Where the hollow meets the hill and Spring's first footsteps show--
Not a drop of honey there to any bee forbidden,
Not a cherry on a tree but all the robins know!
Oh, to be in Canada, now that Spring is calling
Sweet, so sweet it breaks the heart to let its sweetness through,
Oh, to breast the windy hill while yet the dew is falling--
Waking all the meadow-larks to carol in the blue!
Smile upon us, Canada! None shall fail who love you
While they hold a memory of your fields where flowers are--
High the task to keep unstained the skies that bend above you,
Proud the life that shields you from the flaming wind of war!
The Reasons
THEY sat before a dugout
In the unfamiliar quiet of silenced guns.
And one said:
"Now that it's over
What about a bit of truth?
Let us say why we came to fight--
No frills--
You first, old Fire-eater!"--
One with a whimsical face spoke freely;
"I?--I sought some stir,
Some urge in living,
Some sense in dying.
I sought a mountain top
With a view!"
"And the answer?"
"I have seen others find
What I sought."
. . . . . . .
"I don't know that it's anyone's business
Why I came,"
(Another spoke as if unwillingly),
"A girl laughed, I think--
Funny?--Yes, funny as hell!"--
. . . . . . .
His neighbor said,
"I was a business man,
No sentiment,
Nothing of that kind,--
But the band played
And, suddenly, I saw
My country,
A woman, with hands outstretched,
Her back to the wall--"
"U--um," they nodded,
"She's got a pull,
That old lady."
. . . . . . .
"As for me," the speaker was abrupt,
"I was afraid!
I saw pictures,
I heard things--
I couldn't sleep
For the Beast that was abroad--
That's what brought me!"
. . . . . . .
They sat silent for a moment
In the sun.
Then an older man said briefly,
"We were all afraid . . . . .
. . . But what of hate?
Did no one come because of hate?"
. . . . . . .
They looked at this man
But he added nothing,
And no one questioned.
. . . . . . .
A fresh-faced boy spoke modestly;
"Our family are all Army people--
So, of course--
And it's all over now.
We got through.
But it was a near thing--
TO-DAY is a room
With windows upon one side
And upon the other
A door--
Through the windows we may look
But cannot pass;
Through the door we must pass
But cannot look,
And there are no windows
Upon that side.
A YEAR is a thief
Who comes in the guise of a friend
Saying, "Let us travel together,
We have much to give each other.
See, I hold back nothing--
For what is giving
Between friends?"
Yet when the year departs
He takes his gifts with him--
"Oh, Robber!" we cry,
Aghast and weeping,
"Nay," he replies, "I did but lend.
Still, for your weeping, I will leave you something.
It is not the real thing
But you may keep it always."
I SEE a spirit
Young and eager,
Beautiful, too, I think,
(Although I cannot see it clearly)
It is, by right of its own being,
One with all lovely, youthful things;
And they, its age-old kindred,
Welcome it
Saying, "Come, you too are one of us!"
. . . . . . .
This spirit is my own happy ghost--
But I, myself,--alas!
THERE was a man, once, and a woman
Whose love was so entire
That an angel, watching them,
Said wistfully, "Would I were no angel
But a mortal,
Loving so, and so beloved!"
. . . . Yet, when these two mated,
A muddied drop, from some forgotten vial of ancestry,
Brought them a child whose mind was dark;
Who lived--and never called them by their names . . .
. . . . They tended her
For twenty years.
Only when she died
Did they weep, whispering,
The years could find no answer,
Though they went questioning
Until the end.
. . . . . . .
Still wondering
They wandered out into the other country . . . .
It was lonely there,
Being parted from familiar things,
And there was no one to answer questions,
But, suddenly,
(As a wind blows or a swallow flies against the sun)
Came a young girl--eager!
She ran to them,
Calling dear names,
(Names that would open heaven)
"Who are you?" they entreated, trembling . . . .
But they knew!--
Had they not dreamed her so
For twenty years?
THE knowledge of love
Is like sudden sun upon a river--
The slipping water
Is instantly opaque and glorious.
No longer can we look into it
Counting the pebbles,
Watching the ribboned water-reeds,
Or searching idly
For that something which we lost
(A ring with gems)
It is all glamour, now!
We turn away, shading our eyes.
I THOUGHT of friendship
As a golden ring,
Round as the world
Yet fitted to my finger;
I thought of friendship
As a path in spring
Where there are flowers
And the footsteps linger;
I thought of friendship
As a globe of light,
Yellow before the doorway of my life,
A flame diffused
Yet potent against night;
I thought--but thought itself in ruin lies
Since, yesterday, you passed with lowered eyes!
The Returned Man
THEY thought that he would come back
Less boyish,
But still a hero with tales to tell.
So, when there were no tales,
Only blank silences--
When he lay for hours
Staring through leafing branches
And forgot them
They tried to arouse him, saying:
"The war is over."
But when he turned on them
His shadowed eyes
They stammered--
Knowing that they lied!
(For the unknown soldier buried in Westminster Abbey.)
YOU who died fighting
For me and my little children;
You who are a million
Yet are but one,
I lay upon your grave
A rose and a tear--
The tear is the world's sorrow,
The rose is your joy.
For One Who Went in Spring
SHE did not go, as others do,
With backward look and beckoning;
With no farewell for anything
She passed the open doorway through.
The little things she left behind
Lie where they fell from hands content--
Fame a forgotten incident
And life a season out of mind.
The spring will find her footstep gone,
But spring is kind to vanished things,
Camas and buttercups she brings
With green that tears have brightened on.
And we, who walked with her last year
While April in the lilacs stirred,
Will turn with sudden look or word--
Forgetting that she is not here.

Salary and dividends
20th December 2018
Taking money out of your company appears to boil down to a simple choice: whether to take salary or dividend but it's possible to combine both methods to reduce your tax bill.
You are considered to be an employee who is entitled to a salary if you are a company director, while you can also hold shares in your company that may produce dividends.
Both methods are taxed differently, and in our final blog of the year we explore the most tax-efficient ways to extract profits from your business in 2018/19.
Paying salary
Despite being entitled to a wage as a director of your company, you do not have to worry about paying yourself the national minimum wage unless, for some reason, it's written in your contract.
That has obvious tax benefits as you can pay yourself what you want, and that usually means less than the employee national insurance contributions (NICs) threshold of £8,424 in 2018/19.
If you pay yourself less than this amount, you may not have to pay any income tax – as it falls within the tax-free personal allowance of £11,850 in 2018/19 – or NICs on your salary.
It will also be possible for us to deduct your salary from your company's corporation tax bill, offering tax-efficiency for both you as a director and your business.
If you earn more than the NICs threshold of £8,424 this year, employee NICs will be deducted at 12% and a further 13.8% employers NICs will be payable by the company on the amount exceeding the threshold.
At the same time, income tax will also be due at your marginal rate on any salary worth more than £11,850 in 2018/19.
Receiving dividends
An annual salary that is less than the employee NICs threshold isn't likely to be enough to live on, but adding any dividends from your company profits can make it up while also being highly tax-efficient.
Everyone can receive dividends on shares in a business. The first £2,000 of any dividend is tax-free through the dividend allowance, which has seen steady reductions in recent years.
Income tax on dividends worth more than this will be taxed slightly differently, at 7.5% for basic-rate taxpayers, 32.5% for those in the higher-rate, and 38.1% for additional-rate taxpayers.
If your spouse or civil partner does not receive dividends from elsewhere, it may be worth considering gifting a portion of the shares you own in your company to them.
Contact us
Our experts can advise on the most tax-efficient way to withdraw funds from your company.
However you wish to extract profits from your company, our personal tax planning service can minimise the amount of income tax you pay.

As Hurricane Matthew made its way through Haiti, it left everything in its path in a state of destruction. One particular community that felt this devastation is La Vallee de Jacmel. Having been to this community the last three years as a part of mission trips, we have developed very strong and lasting relationships with these people. The individuals and families of this area are very resilient and self sufficient, and although they may not have much, they make the best of what they have available.
Farming is the way of life for many families in La Vallee and is the only source of income for many of them. They work by hand on the sides of mountains to plant their crops and tend to them daily in order to ensure that they can provide for their families. These families produce crops to pay for their needs, community projects, and most importantly, their childrens' school tuition. As you can imagine, the torrential rain and flooding has destroyed nearly all of the crops in La Vallee, which means these families just lost all of their income for the year.
The money raised by this campaign will be directly received by the families of La Vallee de Jacmel. It will be distributed by trusted points of contact in La Vallee that we have established close relationships with throughout the years.
After being in contact with some of these people during and after the storm, they are very fortunate that many lives were spared, but they know the road to recovery is a long one. While they have never asked for money or supplies during this process, we know that they are in dire need of all that they can get and would be forever grateful. As one can see, this is a crucial turning point in this community's rich history. We at Mission Renew know the importance of helping these people rebuild and return to their way of life by funding community projects, home restoration and getting these children back in school. We hope that you can find in your heart a calling to donate to this cause. Not only will you be assisting those who need it now more than ever, but you will also be carrying out the Lord's mission. Thanks and God Bless!

How Hot is David Price? How Bad are the BC Eagles? Did the Vikings Give Up Too Much For Sam Bradford? This and Much Much More!!!
I know that I'm not the only one excited to finally see the David Price that Red Sox nation was expecting upon his free agent signing last December. For the record, Price is 6-0 in his last 6 starts with a 1.66 ERA.
With their loss to Georgia Tech on Saturday, the Boston College Eagles have now lost 9 straight games counting back to last season. One would think the streak could be broken next week at UMass, but then again, this is a team that continues to surprise us.
In an era when most NBA superstars are at each other's weddings, KD vs. Westbrook has the potential to be the most heated rivalry since Jordan vs. Isiah in the early 1990's.
According to Portland Sea Dogs skipper Carlos Febles, Yoan Moncada, aside from his recent struggles, reminds of him a young Carlos Beltran at the plate.
As the Patriots cut 2013 second round draft pick Aaron Dobson, it's easy to forget that the 3 out of the 4 picks following Dobson in the draft included Eddie Lacy, Christine Michael, and Travis Kelce.
7-9, 1-9, 7-8-1, 3-4, and 7-7: The records of Sam Bradford in 5-years as a NFL quarterback. Perhaps most shocking is that the Vikings gave up a 1st round draft pick to the Eagles for Bradford's services!!!
This from Bill Reynolds of the Providence Journal: "The best takeaway from the Colin Kaepernick controversy, the one thing that transcends all the specifics? After all the reaction, and all the emotion; after all the bruised feelings and all the hate, one thing emerges. One thing that tells us about this country's inherent greatness, even if we too frequently fail to appreciate it. It's that here in America we have the freedom not to stand for the national anthem, not to partake of any patriotic rituals, however unpopular that decision might be."
As the old saying goes "schools like Alabama don't rebuild, they restock", as evident by their utter destruction of Top 20 ranked USC 52-6.
Rumor has it that the Cavs Tristan Thompson is dating Khloe Kardashian.
It's hard to believe that it's been 21 years since Cal Ripken broke Lou Gehrig's consecutive games streak in September 1995, a record I guarantee will NEVER be broken.
And if you're keeping track at home, it's been 19 years since both Brady AND Manning missed the NFL's kickoff weekend.
When the Yankees come to town next week, be sure to catch a glimpse of 6'7 rookie Aaron Judge in the outfield. Other than judge, only 10 MLB players in history have stood 6'7 or taller, with 6 lasting fewer than 200 games. Closest to home? Former Mets and Yankees first baseman Tony Clark.
Speaking of the Yankees, not only are the Bombers only 2 games out of the AL Wild Card, they are also 15-9 since ARod's retirement.
On the other side of the coin, after starting the season 57-33, the San Francisco Giants are 17-32 since the All Star Break. Amazingly, despite their tailspin, the Giants are only 5 games behind the first place Dodgers and hold a ½ game lead in the NL Wild Card.

Athlete exhibits determination and class
To be the best, one must be willing to dedicate themselves to whatever it is they choose to pursue. Senior standout football player and wrestler D.J. Singleterry has his eyes set on catching passes as the new tight end for the Davidson Wildcats next fall.
"D.J. is a goal-setter, and when he sets a goal, then he will achieve it," said head football coach Jim Bunting.
Whether it's trimming a 40-yard dash time or competitive barrel racing, Singleterry is willing to give it his all.
"I always do my best. It may not always be the best, but it is always my best," said Singleterry. "I never really had a great 40 time, but I always seemed to take the right angle to make the play."
"We have a weight lifting competition coming up and D.J. wanted to participate, even though his bench press isn't his strongest lift. He is willing to give everything to help the team even if it is only second or third place," said Bunting.
Singleterry started competitive barrel racing his freshman summer and has since posted a couple first- and second-place finishes. "It takes a while for the horse to get used to cutting so close to the barrels. You will get tossed off if they get scared," said Singleterry.
After staring down a giant animal for a better part of the summer, football training camp seems a little easier. It definitely was easier for Singleterry, even as he changed positions from offensive guard to tight end his junior year.
"D.J. worked really hard in the off-season to get his speed (time) down and improve his catching ability," said Bunting.
Singleterry caught 12 passes his first season, but drastically improved his senior year grabbing 20 balls for about 300 yards, and earning first team all-conference as a tight end. Singleterry paired his all-conference tight end nod with his second straight first team all-conference linebacker nomination. Singleterry's senior season also earned him first team All-State as a linebacker, and became the school's first Wendy's High School Heisman award recipient.
"I'll probably start out second or third on the depth chart when I go to Davidson, but if I work hard I could get a chance to start," said Singleterry.
"Davidson was impressed with how D.J. caught with his hands, and had him rated over the tight ends they already had," said Bunting.
Before the success and fanfare of the past few seasons, the Indians football team was a dismal 0-10, but Singleterry was at the center of the rebuilding.
"That's what it means to be a captain. You have to take over in tough situations," said Singleterry.
"He's definitely our leader. He's the kind of guy that even if you're down three touchdowns, he'll still give it everything he has," said teammate Robert "Peanut" Mitchell.
"In our final game (that 0-10 season) we had the ball on fourth–and-one against Smyrna and we couldn't punch it in for the win. It was a heartbreaker, but a week later everyone was in the gym working to get better for next season," said Singleterry.
All the hard work did pay off as Indian River made the playoffs the past two years — winning the southern division championship and ending their 17-year playoff drought.
Singleterry didn't just accomplish his individual goals, but helped his school restore prestige to their football program. "Winning has created a good atmosphere, and kids are willing to come out for the team," said Singleterry.
As Singleterry prepares to leave next summer for secluded Davidson University, he will take a small piece of Indian River with him.
"I like living here. It's small but that's good because then you know everyone. At football games it seems like half the state is there, so I will miss that," said Singleterry. "I really appreciate how supportive everyone has been."

10.1. Print
The print statement can either print to a file or to the standard output, which is usually the terminal window. If no file number is specified after the keyword the statement print prints to the screen. It takes a list of expressions, formats them and prints the values to the screen.
print "haho!" print "hahaho!" print print "kukac\n" print "oooh" print "The number is ",number
The list of expression is one or more expressions separated by commas. Old implementations of the BASIC language used ; for that and inserted a space between the printed item. These old BASIC languages used the comma as list separator to put the next printed item on the next tab position. There is nothing like that in ScriptBasic. The comma simply separates the list elements, which are printed adjacent. Comma does not insert space between them and does not position on tab. ; as list separator is not allowed.
In case you want to position something in tab position you can
print "hello\ttab"
use the \t escaped character.

Eating healthy and feeding my girls healthy food is very important to me. I officially declared myself a healthnut a few years ago, and wouldn't want it any other way.
What we eat determines what we look like, how we feel, and how our brains function. Learning about nutrition is the reason I don't believe in taking medicine unless absolutely necessary. Well, that and the fact that I've been either pregnant or breastfeeding for the past 6 years!
(Seriously, I didn't even take pain meds while giving birth or recovering from a natural birth of my second daughter; I just drank a ton of water and healed much faster than with my first daughter.)
So, I have made it a point to make sure myself and two girls eat healthy diets, and enjoy what we eat. I strongly believe in a plant based diet, but my eating habits lean more towards a vegan diet.
The thing is, all of the products and resources below will work for you to improve yours, and your childrens, health no matter what your dietary beliefs are!! Though, everyone can benefit from a few more veggies, fruits, or healthy grains and proteins in their diet!
I also have soo many healthy eating favorites tucked away in the lists I created on Amazon.
NutriBullet or NutriNinja
I do NOT know what I would do without having at least one of these! My girls and I have a smoothie or smoothie bowl EVERY SINGLE DAY. It's the easiest way to get fresh leafy greens into my girls (and my own) diet! I had my NutriBullet for almost 5 years before it started making a weird noise while blending. (May have been user error. Note to self: split peas and legumes should not be milled like rice and oatmeal to turn into flour or baby food.) Once that started being too noisy, my husband bought me a NutriNinja for Mothers day and love it just as much as the Nutribullet. It won't mill grains, but that's what a food processor is for, anyways!

I have mosquitoes "floating around in my eye. Should I be worried?
Spots and floaters are usually harmless but it is very important to rule out the retinal tears /holes through complete eye examination.
Can long hours of computer work affect the health of eyes?
Computer work cannot damage your eyes .It only causes strain and dryness which can be controlled easily by proper prescription glasses and small breaks/frequent blinking
Am I a suitable candidate for LASIK?
LASIK is very effective way of correcting refractive errors. Complete eye examination including recent prescription for glasses and corneal thickness is required to find the suitable candidates .

The politics of shadow politics – Discord within the opposition againJuly 11, 2013
When you have a formal coalition comprised of three opposition parties – Batkivshchyna, Svoboda and UDAR – all off which are working toward the same goal – namely installing one amongst their number as the next president, and thereafter replacing the current government at the earliest legal and democratic opportunity – you have a short/medium term plan, I think most people would agree.
Unfortunately, as has be written about already – several times – the strategy to achieve that plan as far as the presidency goes, is quite divided when it comes to a single or multiple opposition candidates in the first round of the elections – both strategies having significant supporters and detractors.
However, politics in Ukraine is not just about the presidency – although you would be forgiven for thinking so considering the fact it is almost all the opposition parties want to talk about.
There is of course, the actual government. The cabinet of ministers and the RADA itself.
This subject would appear to be a simmering bone of contention amongst the opposition ranks, one that they are trying to keep from the public eye – unsurprisingly.
We are, after all, talking about who will take the choice roles within any future Cabinet of Ministers to massage the egos of those unsuccessful in becoming president – and their lieutenants – but must be necessarily mollycoddled to hold the opposition coalition together in power.
Batkivshchnya have long had a shadow government/cabinet, theoretically up to speed on their ruling majority counterpart, hopefully crafting policy for when they get into power, and making sustained efforts at achieving some for of public accountability within their area of reference in the shadow cabinet/government – quite rightly.
Batkivshchyna feathers therein though are now quite ruffled, according to a friend of mine within Batkivshchyna – especially amongst those who favour the single candidate, single team strategy.
It would appear that Svoboda have now decided that they too will form a shadow government/cabinet, led by Alexasander Sych – a fact I am trying to confirm from those I know inside the Svoboda machine, but do not doubt the information from within Batkivshchyna.
I have to say, due to the obvious splits within the opposition coalition that will undoubtedly get a very public airing after the presidential election, if not during it, Svoboda are doing the right thing – for Svoboda at least – even if it is bringing yet more tension within the coalition.
When the opposition cannot agree on the single or multiple candidate strategy for the presidential elections – and let's be quite honest, despite the single candidate tactic still bing publicly muted by opposition leaders, there are so many egos that they will have a multiple candidate race, as one will not stand aside for another – any grubby little deals muted about who will get what role in any opposition government should be taken with a grain of salt in similar manner.
As such, any promised positions in any future government are likely to change – and thus it will serve Svoboda, just as it does Batkivshchyna, to have a shadow government/cabinet to prepare their people for executive office across the entire spectrum of national government, as they simply won't know what they will actually get when the spoils of success are divided. All they can be sure of is that their hierarchy will get just enough to warrant them remaining loyal to the coalition when in power – but no more.
UDAR, as far as I am aware, have no "official" shadow government/cabinet unlike Batkivshchyna and now Svodboda – I will check with them. If not, as and when it eventually follows suit, yet more Batkivshchyna feathers will ruffle.
It seems the supporters of a single opposition presidential candidate and a single supporting team behind them, comprised across the coalition party lines, are going to be disappointed in the very near future.
A little further down the line, it seems those same supporters who would advocate a single coalition multi-party shadow government/cabinet in preparation for RADA victory, can now kiss that strategy goodbye as well.
Even disregarding the stark ideological differences between the coalition of opposition parties, the evermore entrenched divisions over strategy amongst their party members and parties leaders, there remains an apparently insurmountable problem with trust – from top to bottom.
No relationship can perform to its maximum ability without trust. Most simply break down, or become so coercive in their efforts to hold it together, they cease to be what they set out to be.
Much of the opposition have been in such a dysfunctional relationship before when in power – and it seems lessons are still to be learned from that experience.
Perhaps trust will be more forthcoming after the presidential elections – win or lose – I certainly hope so, but a marriage of convenience with robust ideological differences seems unlikely last the test of time.

On 21 May 2017, they won their third IPL title by defeating the Rising Pune Supergiant by 1 run in a thrilling final, thus becoming the first team to win three IPL titles.[5] While playing the tournament, they won their 100th T20, becoming the first team to do so.
Mumbai Indians are currently captained by Rohit Sharma. Mahela Jayawardene was appointed as head coach of Mumbai Indians before the 2017 season.[6] Sharma is the leading run scorer of the team while Lasith Malinga is the leading wicket taker of the team and the IPL as well.

Let It Begin #4: A Truly Potent Offense?
by Bhakta-Chris
Hare Krsna, and Happy Western Christian mainly accepted by the rest of the world New Year. The calendar really doesn't lie, and for me personally, ringing in 2007 in joyous kirtan with 30 other fortunate souls at midnight was much better than some of my more recent New Year's activities.
I'm not big on New Year's resolutions. Easily forgotten and ultimately temporary. It's hard enough trying to remember each and every day that Krsna is the doer. But I will offer some prasad for thought, based on my recent reading of the 8th Chapter of the Nectar of Devotion, in which Srila Prabhupada relates offenses to be avoided, and which in this newest of years we should strive our best to avoid as well, so that prema can flow much more freely.
(before I begin, this will be a mixture of seriousness, humor, and questions as well, so forgive any offense I may make)
"One should not sit before the Deity holding the ankles, knees, and hands" -A very common offense for devotees and non-devotees alike. Sitting
cross-legged and straight-spined is something few of us were trained to do from birth. I suggest possibly using the technology of the future to create bionic knees and backs to facilitate non-offensive temple sitting posture.
"One should never speak a lie before the Deity" -A very good one to avoid, and remember that Krsna is also sitting in your heart, the center of the temple of the body, so stepping outside the temple doors to fib is still the same offense.
"One should not cry or howl before the Deity" -I assume this is about material things, because most of the fun of kirtan is crying and howling in ecstasy the holy names for the pleasure or Sri Sri Radha Vrindavan Chandra.
"One should not eulogize or praise anyone else before the Deity" -This one confuses me, for we all take part and enjoy the praising of Vaisnavas in the temple when the doors are open. Any insight?
"One should not fail to offer some praise in the presence of the spiritual master" -Always give Prabhupada some love! Whether it's full obesiances or just a loving nod with folded hands in prayer, he gave us the greatest gift and he can't be praised enough.
"One should not fail to wash his teeth very carefully every day" -Yes, Mother Yasoda, I will do as you say.
"One should not enter the temple without washing his hands and feet."-Another hard one to avoid. mainly with our feet. The temple floor, while always lovingly cleaned, still collects so much dirt on our feet. It's unavoidable. Maybe some fancy feet-washing doo-dad outside the temple doors may help.
All in all, my reaction to this grand list of offenses is that it's impossible for any but the most pure devotees to avoid all of these offenses. Many of them occur so involuntarily, but above all else, let us remember how incredibly merciful Krsna is to us hopeless rascals in this age of Kali. Who can truly conceive of such causeless mercy? My resolution for myself and for all of us here at New Vrindavan is to really focus moment-to-moment so we can avoid as many of these offense as possible. Then the mercy will really come shining through, in so many wonderful and miraculous ways.

Customer reviews for this trader
Rob and James have just re-laid our patio and re-formed steps to them. We would thoroughly recommend them. We had the patio done about twelve months previously by someone who turned out to be an expensive mistake. We were landed with a patio which was defective, did not drain correctly, was poorly designed and included steps which were unsafe. Rob was one of several estimates which we obtained to carry out the remedial work. We are pleased we chose him. He took up and re-laid the paving slabs, provided proper falls and levels, provided a more interesting and varied pattern and reformed the steps to the patio. He and James were helpful in suggesting better ways of utilising the materials so as to have a much better looking patio, they kept additional cost to a minimum and were spot on to their estimate, which was reasonable. The workmanship was excellent, particularly the new steps and we are more than pleased. They relieved us of a nightmare. The only drawback - James's taste in music on his radio, headbanger! Worth putting up with though.
Robert, James and the other staff member have done a fantastic job in our garden, last year, they re built a stone wall that was in danger of collapsing on a boundary. They have now lifted the old stone from the patio, repaired what was needed underneath, relaid the stone flags and suspended them in line with the rest of the garden design. It looks fantastic, they are so polite, respectful, have some very good ideas and we would not use a tone else!!! Thank you for a great job at a fair price done in a way that has exceeded our expectations.
We would thoroughly recommend R S Landscapes. We are really pleased and impressed with the work they have done for us. Rob and his team have been hard-working and professional, as well as polite and friendly. Great job guys - thank you!
Robert and his staff are fantastic, respectful and work to a very high standard. The rebuilding of the old stone wall has been amazing to watch, Robert worked tirelessly cutting the stone and intuitively how the finished work should look. We loved having them on site and we looking forward to getting more work done when he can fit us in.
Rob and James did a fantastic job of our garden. It was a big project including full clearance with a digger, landscaping, building natural stone walls, building large patio areas, terraced sleeper beds, laying turf and building block steps with stone treads. They knew exactly what they were doing with all aspects of the work and conscientious throughout the project. The best thing about these guys is their ideas, their experience and their adaptability. They have a great can-do attitude and were proactive when things changed: including unexpected surprises in the garden and the awkward access they had to contend with to get machinery and materials into the garden. The quality of their work is of the highest standard. We are really happy with the finished product. I have already recommended them to friends.
RSL has done good quality fencing for us. Also reliable and good communications. Conscientious.
We used Rob and his team to do a facelift of the bottom of our garden. They completed fencing, levelling of the ground, weed matting and putting bark mulch over the garden. The whole job was done with great care and pride and we are very pleased. We will definitely be using Rob again in the future.
Rob did an excellent job of repairing grass areas damaged by stone and mortar from a collapsed wall. No fuss, no mess, polite and friendly at all times. Very satisfied with the work done! And all at a very reasonable price.
Rob and his colleague came when they said they would and worked extremely hard and did a great job with our garden fence. My neighbour is also very pleased which is great! They cleared the site and left it in a good condition and we would recommend them. Thanks very much.
Rob and James have done an excellent job of re-building a boundary wall which had collapsed during storm Doris. Their work showed true craftsmanship and attention to detail. They were careful to minimise the inevitable building mess - and especially to avoid annoyance to the neighbours! They were polite and friendly at all times, and I have no hesitation in recommending R S Landscapes for such work. We have now contracted them also to carry out re-grassing of areas damaged when the original wall fell.

CLASS OF 1999-the substitute (1994) Pray you only get detention!!!
The sequel to the ( i suppose) well-known Class of 1999 is a film
I have a special place in my heart for.
Class of 1999 – part 2-the substitute
Starring Sasha Mitchell, Caitlin Dulany and Nick Cassavetes, among others….
Directed by Spiro Razatos (cool name)
Sasha Mitchell is probably most famous for his funny role in " Step by Step" and his Dallas role as the son of J.R.
He also did a few Kickboxer sequels, which I watched at the time, but they didn't really leave a lasting impression on me.
But this movie DID!
Its very hard to write something that doesn't give away half the story.
But since trailer these days have no problem to show half the movie, why the hell should I care?
Well, I try to keep some elements out, so you can still enjoy this, if you haven't seen it yet!
There are a few twists i must keep to myself, so you have some fun left watching.
Sasha Mitchell( John Bolen) gets introduced right in the beginning, as he disciplines a few rowdies, who don`t seem to have much love for school.
They way he does that is extremely cool, at least to me.
Lets just say he kicks some ass with a coolness, that I admire. Did I mention he is funny as well?
Needless to say, his somewhat violent methods aren't going over well with the principal.
The principal is wondering about his incomplete file( application? ) -Solution? Kill the principal-pure logic!!LOL.
Nobody stops him from teaching!!! Inbetween that, we see some agent, that has his eyes on Bolen.
Seems he was looking for him quite some time.
John Bolen believes he is a battle droid.
Sasha Mitchell is just great in this role, acting cool and rational, as a supposed android should, he is almost Forrest Gump-like in his behaviour,
Some very funny moments come out of this clash with " normal"people.
Bolen gets to class and runs into a young, beautiful teacher( Caitlin Dulany), who seems to have trouble keeping her class in check…
John Bolen takes over and shows them who is boss!
Most of the story is about the beautiful teacher, who wants to testify against a student, but she gets pressured, not to do so.
John tries to convince her to testify, despite the attacks she suffers from the gang this student is in.
Even her friend and other teachers wanna keep her from testifying.
Of course, John Bolen cant have that-" If you allow the students to gain control of the situation, the result is anarchy!"
Now, I could go on recapping the whole movie, but instead I`ll tell you what makes me love this movie.
It has some nice action, lots of kills, some very creative.
Sasha Mitchell plays his role cool and creepy, its just fun to watch him.
Before and inbetween kills he is reciting from a war poem, which stuck in my head since I first saw this movie.
Goes like this:
"The enemy is before me, around me, but yet no fear will I have.
My mission is met, death is my mission, my mission is met.
The Night will bring so much death, So many horrors born, on a river of blood, called duty, by men who compassion has scorn.
The life I have, wasn't mine to chose, but death, will always be the shoes I walk in.
I will stride the path, in death's shoes, until the mission I conclude, death is my mission, my mission is met."
I also think, its quite beautifully shot, I like the colors of the film and the location, which appears to be a small town setting, with a small town sheriff, really laid back atmosphere, a total change in regard to the first part, which was a futuristic , big mess of a city.
So, I left enough of the story to discover for yourselves.
Thank you, Spiro, for this little gem of a b-movie….I love it!!!!
the film is out of print, but there are a few copies left to find online, there is also a Laserdisc ,and of course if you wanna go oldschool(haha..school-get it?) there´s the VHS for ya! There never was a Region 1 DVD , i just don`t understand -why?
So, if you`re from the USA or Canada, you have to import it, either Region two or zero.
At last, a link to a site for screen capture/quality comparisons …in case youre in doubt which version to get.
I only have these two versions, there are a few others, german and korean versions, im happy with my greek one, as it seems to be the best yet.
Cyborg – Directors Cut/ workprint version
Something we fans of Van Damme or Albert Pyun have wanted for a long time is finally here…
still not the ultimate Directors Cut, just the reworked last cut of a workprint that was used by T. Riparetti to score the film, its a new take on the film CYBORG.
First of all, the famous intro is missing-the Fender speech(i like this world), simply because it doesnt fit the changed story anymore.
There are a few scenes which Pyun dropped due to quality issues, namely the village massacre scene and a rumored uncut/different cut of the Ralph Möller death scene. That aside, the whole movie is quite different from the offically released version, the biggest difference being the fact that the scientists arent working on a cure to save mankind, but rather seek to re-establish electricity and the means to use technology for their own good(control over the population ). Fender and his gang would like that tech as well, but for their very own purposes.
So, Van Damme is actually being misled …a good set up for a possible sequel, but its unlikely Van Damme would star in that. Pyun however, plans to do a few more movies in this universe he created , including a prequel and sequels…lets hope they turn out well….the actors he wants to star in those coming films( wants!!!!) sound promising, but a lot can change til those movies actually materialize.(This is why i wont name any actors).
So, back to the movie….it features a lot voice-over monologue by the Van Damme character, spoken not by him, but somebody else, cuz Van Damme was already working on the next movie… showing his pain and existential plight, asking almost philosophical questions..there are a few new scenes, different cuts and a different version of the final fight( a lot shorter than the one we know). I liked the extra time that the Hayley character got, a lot of scenes truly make the movie better . The score is a new one, something i could`ve done without, really. Its a guitar-driven score by Tony Riparetti/Saad, which to me, doesnt work for the film too well.
You can find it here:
http://www.howlinwolfrecords.com -it kinda explains the guitar themed names, the characters have been given.It was dropped, after Cannon went to rework the movie into the version we all know.
The film itself is cut together from 2 videotapes, there is fullframe and widescreen material cut together, which is sad, but we must be happy that this even exists.
I could go deeper, but i wont spoil all the new elements, this version offers. Its a darker vision, and in many respects(for better or worse) much more Pyun.
In the end, im happy this version exists, im happy i do own it, but its not a 2 hours-full uncut dream version some might have expected. The quality of this version is pretty decent, given its taken from 2 old vhs-tapes, recorded in 1988, and shelved for over 2 decades.
You can contact Albert Pyun( http://www.pyun.com/) if you wanna give this a shot.
…first impressions can be found on youtube…

Bible Readings
1 Kings 17:8-16
Hebrews 9:24-28
Mark 12:38-44
Hymn of meditation: PH 335
Word of God, the Holy Fountain,
You came down, from Heav'n, you came.
Great strength you give to all people,
To those that open their hearts.
If you are like flower that withered,
Shriveled up by heat of sun,
If you are so thirsty, come now,
Come and drink from Fount of Life.
We thank God again for another time in His presence to study under the theme: "Watch, wait and pray". Watch means "to be alert". You should be praying, be vigilant and wait for the appearance of the Most High King because we know that Christ died and rose again and ascended into heaven from where He is coming back for all those who are ready to receive Him.
Waiting for Him is not for us to be idle but to be watching. The word 'watch' connotes there is something around so we need to be vigilant.
It is Jesus who created heaven and earth, who gave us life and who has made us who we are today, who is warning us today, amidst all that is happening in the world. Today, He wants us as believers of the Lord Jesus Christ to watch, and be vigilant because there are several things happening around us all over the world; tsunamis, wars, corruption, killing of people in Embassies and many others.
There are also a lot of uncountable number of churches all around us which makes me wonder why those who call ourselves by the name of the Most High King who is holy, pure, truthful, are the same people in the offices engulfed in corruption. There are believers in the passport offices, police stations and other offices but you would be surprised at their behavior when it comes to money issues; they all forget about who Christ is. Also at the hospitals, the nurses and workers are the same people we attend fellowship with, and even pray together with for the sick people. That is why the Lord Jesus is telling us today to watch, pray and be waiting; be vigilant.
Do not sit idle because Christ is coming again, and Hebrews tells us that, He is coming as a judge to judge each and every one; dead and alive. Do not tell yourself that since He has not come, you will continue to enjoy your sins. It will catch you up with you on the judgement day.
Bible tells us that He will come again and all those who have entrusted their lives to Him would be raised and would be caught up together in heaven and they would go to the Most High King and be there forever. Those who have not given their lives to Him would perish because they would be sent to eternal judgement. Do not live life anyhow.
Let the word of God challenge you to live right. The world is not living according to the principles of the God. Are you ready to receive Him after He returns from preparing a place for us? When He comes, He will not take only pastors, elders, presbyters, or leaders of the groups but those who have washed their robe in the blood of the Lamb.
Jesus is the lamb of God. Confess all your shortcomings and sins to Jesus. He is the one who cares, and He will listen and forgive you, cleanse you, wash you and make you a new person. Whatever position you occupy, get ready because Jesus is coming again. Watch out for things happening in the world, be awake, be ready for the King of kings and Lord of lords on His coming. He is coming with salvation.
Salvation is a total package: there is redemption, peace, deliverance, healing and everything else. Why not seek this Jesus and be completely delivered from the powers of world, self, sin and death? We have a complete package awaiting us in salvation. Are you ready?
Hebrews 9:28
So Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
Are you waiting? He says watch and wait. Waiting is not idleness but by prayer, living right, obeying the word of God, sharing fellowship with believers. Not remaining home after confirmation and working on your membership card so you can receive a good burial service when you die. No! Watch and do the right thing.
We will face many oppositions, insults and backbiting even in the church when we decide to stand for truth but be prepared to stand. Do not give in to their desires to see you slumber and fall out of your Ministry. Watch and do not repeat those things you do which do not please the Lord. The Lord is a faithful God when you find yourself in hardships, difficulties and circumstances beyond your control; persist in prayer, service, ministry and walking in His ways.
When you are blessed with a special ability, learn to show respect to those who seem not well endowed. God has given us gifts, talents and abilities for the building up of the church. You are just a part of the body. When the head is sick, you are also sick, so watch out and pray. As you wait on the Lord in prayer, it will bring healing, comfort, restoration, deliverance to people. Fill your mouths with songs of the Spirit and minister to those around you. Your song should be distinct from that of the world.
Jesus is warning us about hypocrisy, and that is why He says "watch out"! Be mindful not to pride in living and the giftings you have. Do not feel proud for it is by grace you are where you are now. Humble yourself in your gifts so that what God has given to you will shine and be a blessing to everybody. There is a lot of deception in the church today by way of fake deliverance and healings. Beware and do not fall prey to such tricksters.
Mark 12:40
They devour widows' houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. Such men will be punished most severely."
Thanks be to God that there is greatness in giving to God (the widow's mite). In your celebration, remember that God has given you the gift and expects us to give our all and all in return. He is faithful. Also, in the case of Elijah and the widow of Zarephath, God honoured the woman when she obeyed the word of the prophet. In the hard and difficult times, study and obey Him and He will reward you in the end. He is a faithful God.
Great is Thy faithfulness,
O God my Father,
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not,
Thy compassions, they fail not
As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.

Animal rights campaigners plan protest at Cranswick plant
PUBLISHED: 15:00 15 January 2017 | UPDATED: 15:59 15 January 2017
© Archant Norfolk 2012
Animal rights campaigners will be comforting animals on their "final journey" outside a slaughterhouse in the largest protest of its kind in Norfolk in recent times.
Coordinated by the newly formed Norfolk Animal Save, the peaceful protest on Wednesday will see campaigners gather outside Cranswick Country Foods in Watton.
After liaising with the plant and Norfolk police, it has been agreed that lorries transporting livestock will stop for five minutes outside the factory on Brandon Road to allow campaigners to "bear witness" to the animal's journey and speak words of comfort to them before they enter the factory.
On Norfolk Animal Save's Facebook page in excess of 40 people have said they will attend the protest, with 100 more expressing an interest in attending.
Tom Fenner, of Norfolk Animal Save, said: "It is the first protest of this size that will have been experienced in Norfolk for a good long time.
"We will have a designated area where we can bear witness and will be taking pictures and speaking kind words to the animals on their final journey. We want to show people the treatment of the meat that ends up on their dinner plates.
"We try to show people the truth of where their food is coming from. We encourage anyone who wishes to to join in.
"Online people have said that us being there causes the animals distress, which I find to be quite a naive approach. I think people speaking kind words to the animals on the way to slaughter is unlikely to be the worst part of their day."
Cranswick chief executive Adam Couch said the group had been in contact with Watton site director Barry Lock.
He added: "We are aware of the campaigners' protest and we respect their decision to come, as long as it does not interfere with the running of our plant."
Since coming to the UK from Canada a year ago, the Save movement has spread around England with Save branches now operating in Suffolk, Essex, Hertfordshire and Norfolk.
Mr Fenner said the Norfolk branch will initially be holding protests at Cranswick's Watton plant every month, with plans to eventually go to other locations around the county.

J. T. Brown and Anton Stralman scored 15 seconds apart for the Lightning soon after the team's captain, Steven Stamkos, got into a fight, and host Tampa Bay stopped a 10-game losing streak against the Boston Bruins with a 5-3 victory. The Lightning had not beaten the Bruins since March 13, 2012.
Boston is 0-3-2 over its last five games and holds a 1-point lead over Ottawa for the final Eastern Conference playoff spot.
■ Justin Abdelkader's power-play goal 24 seconds into overtime lifted the Detroit Red Wings to a 2-1 win over the visiting St. Louis Blues.
■ Megan Wolfe's first-period goal and Amanda Leveille's 19 saves helped host Minnesota defeat Harvard, 4-1, for its third women's N.C.A.A. championship in four seasons.

Wheeee! I found it on the net again; an online training that teaches people to virtually push alcohol away so that in RL they (I!) are more likely to push alcohol away too. The programme shows you photo's of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and you have to respond by pushing the alcohol away and the non-alcohol towards you, using the cursor keys of your keyboard. And it's free! Starting tomorrow with the course and I will make sure to ask a translation of the intro here online so that non-Dutch people can do it too.
I have high hopes of this techniques because I made something like it up for myself when stopping with smoking years ago and I felt it worked. I visualised cigarets and then internally pushed them away. I felt it helped to close me of. There is this feeling of 'NO' and for me it is actually a physical feeling as well, it feels like centering, decision and determination and well, like NO. It's a good thing to practise.
A few weeks ago I had actually made my own Powerpoint presentation with photo's of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks that I found attractive and let it run automatically. But then I started reading Jason and forgot about it.
Good news, it is actually out there for free. Nice, nice. First thing tomorrow. 🙂 🙂 Too tired now. Can't wait! 🙂
