The Herbal Alchemist's Handbook: A Grimoire of Philtres, Elixirs, Oils, Incense, and Formulas for Ritual Use, by Karen Harrison
Weiser, 9781578634910, 239pp., 2011
In this book, we explore Herbal Alchemy as practiced in the West, through the uses of the plants and their Planetary signatures as developed by the 14th century philosopher and Alchemist Paracelsus.
A book on this topic couldn't start with a more hopeful introduction. After a brief description of alchemy in different forms (lead to gold, internal alchemy, alchemy as a path to the divine), the author states this as her purpose for the book. While it sounds good, this is the beginning of my problems with the book: her use of the terms "alchemy" and "alchemist." Continue reading

A Study Has Found: Is popcorn better for you than fruits and vegetables? (No.)
Your favorite movie snack might double as a nutritious treat, according to new research. And not only is popcorn a healthy snack, but it might help fight off illnesses. Keep in mind, though, that popcorn is probably best left uncovered with butter and oil for the maximum benefits (health-wise, not taste-wise).
The study, which was funded by a popcorn company, was conducted at the University of Scranton. Researchers found that popcorn is actually packed with antioxidants, which can boost the immune system. Popcorn specifically contains polyphenols, which can prevent damage to cells and fend off diseases.
"The hull is where the most nutritional goodies (polyphenols) are — not the white fluffy part," chemistry professor and study author Joe Vinson told USA Today.
Popcorn can retain its nutritious properties in part because it doesn't contain a lot of water and it is 100 percent whole grain, while some polyphenol-rich fruits and vegetables do contain a lot of water. Popcorn also undergoes minimal processing when it is cooked.
However, before you switch out your celery sticks for a bag of popcorn, researchers warn that it shouldn't be used as a substitute for other healthy choices.
"I don't want people to think they can just eat popcorn to get all the polyphenols they need," said Vison. "I don't want them to think of popcorn as an alternative to fruits and vegetables."
Pop on!
More adventures in psuedoscience:
- While your favorite movie snack is good for you, sitting down for too long while you're watching a movie, or for any other reason, can apparently kill you, according to a new study. Researchers found that people who sit for 11 or more hours per day have a 40 percent greater risk of dying.
- But if you do eat more popcorn and boost your immunity, you might have a better chance at fighting off the common cold which, research shows, is the cause of coughing and wheezing. Yes, there was research conducted to prove this.
- And in other shocking snack news, people who ate more chocolate tended to have lower BMIs in one study. Get the skinny on this fantastic research. Chocolate-covered popcorn, anyone?

"These cards are EXACTLY what I was looking for. They are professional, but beautiful. I chose to do the shimmer overlay on the cards and it is GORGEOUS. I am SO happy with my cards!"
"The textured paper makes these special and the clean design is perfect for my business which doesn't have a logo yet. Love them!"
"Exceeded my expectations once again! I customized these cards to use as gift certificates for my business. I was able to customize the front and back and they turned out perfect!"
"I love my new cards! They look fab-U-lous! I had previously ordered cards from Zazzle, which are ok, but the quality of these is really great. The weight of the paper and the finish, just the standard order, excellent. I used to work in paper so I'm familiar with high-end brands, while obviously this is just a flat print, the design, weight and finish give the feel of a high-end product. Very happy!"
"I have received many positive comments about the card. Color, font and quality are just lovely. The swirl of leaves on card are just enough and don't take away from information being presented."

Jan 20, 2014A brilliant marriage of mechanics, level design and music that will be played and talked about for years to come.
Jan 15, 2014Nidhogg is a game to be enjoyed with friends while in the same room together, and it may be the best title you play that way this year.
Jan 20, 2014Even with a grimy netcode and a poor single-player mode, Nidhogg is a perfectly balanced multiplayer experience. Accessible for the average gamer, ideal for the pro and striking for an evening with some friends.
Jan 18, 2014Nidhogg is definitely a blast if you have a few friends around, and it's easy to see why it has been hyped up over the last few years.
Feb 2, 2014Nidhogg is a game that is messy and finely tuned, at the same time. It's certainly niche, definitely esoteric, but for those that it does tickle, (especially those who have a friend to play with in real, physical space), it's the kind of experience that is unlike anything I can think of, and since first coming across it years ago, has been talked about with a sense of wistful nostalgia by anyone I know who's played it. And that's got to be worth something.
Jan 24, 2014With human competition Nidhogg stages captivating sword fighting duels. But the surprisingly deep fighting system suffers from lack of content and a weak campaign.
Feb 6, 2014Just like a skilled swordsman, the developer of Nidhogg disarmed me and lured into a trap – you either miss one of the best fighting experiences ever made, or pay $15 for what is basically an incomplete game.
Score distribution:
Positive: 13 out of 21
Mixed: 3 out of 21
Negative: 5 out of 21
Mar 4, 2014This game is nearly flawless in my opinion. The combat is smooth and skillful, the graphics are original and defiantly are a treasure to see every time you load up a map. Each map has its own feel, style, and play method and always keeps you on your toes. The single-player is challenging and has a great difficulty curve that eases you into the hard, final bosses. Overall the only flaw with the game is the minor fact that during multi-player, people have developed the strategy to, as soon as they get the initiative, run past you, making it nearly impossible to stop them, but in the case of local play, this could be easily solved.… Expand
Jan 14, 2014This is one of the most fun games I've played in recent memory. If they add more maps and fix the matchmaking system (which at the moment kind of works but sorta doesn't) this could be GOTY 2014. The long dev cycle certainly payed off as this game is fluid and fast and crazy fun.… Expand
Feb 9, 2014Nidhogg is a nice twist to the head-to-head fightning games. Featuring an unique gameplay style, the game makes everything rewarding. The A.I. sometimes is tough, making you feel that you are fightning a real opponent, unlike most of the fightning games which required to spam a combo a biliion of times to win. Nidhogg isn't about combos, it is about skill. If you are bad, that's your fault, not the game. The game is incredibly easy to understand and play, but it is hard to master. Multiplayer is fun, specially with local, with constant laughs at each one failures. However, Nidhoog is limited. There is only four levels and few game modes, which makes the whole thing become repetitive for a while. But Nidhogg is a thing that I want to repeat for a while. The game feels different with each enemy having their own unique strategy and learning how to defeat their strategy is always a pleasure.… Expand
Feb 8, 2014Ignore the dated looking graphics as Nidhogg has some of the most fluid, and deep, fighting mechanics you'll find in any game. Online matches can suffer from a bit of lag but played sat with a friend matches can become true epics and very few people will not have fun playing it.
The only aspect that really holds the game back is the lack of options. Single player involves nothing more than fighting computer controlled enemies one after the other (and is virtually a complete waste of time) which basically means the only worthwhile mode is the offline 1 vs. 1 matches. As a result Nidhogg is a game I'll likely only return to now and then.… Expand
Jan 27, 2014Good potential fun that's ruined by a lack of content and horrible lag outside of local play. It's pointless playing such a game if you're going to be even 1 frame behind your opponent.
Out of the pitiful 4 maps, only one of them is even remotely worth playing. The other maps are short and have annoying gimmicks while the Clouds map gives your eyes aids. And while the concept and general play is pretty fun and competitive, additively so, so much more could have been accomplished with things like interactive environments and additional movements.
And while the reviewer seems to think there is no set strategy for success and that play is pretty equal, two things come across as questionable: the first being the jump attack which is far too overpowered, making the disadvantage of having no sword completely nulled. I'd like to say it's easy to counter, but it really isn't unless your general play consists of nothing but assuming the player will use it. Second, the fencing mechanic seems inconsistent. A lot of the time it just seems to be pure randomness as to who parries and whose lunge hits first. Like someone said, a game of rock paper scissors, except you have no idea which one you've employed.
The controls are a bit annoying too. Oftentime it's difficult to remember and utilise which of the three positions your sword is in when running, and when both throwing your sword and rolling is set to up and down on the controls respectively, you will often find yourself doing the wrong movement half the time.
Also, I can't help but disregard both the price and time to make this. It's nearly double the price of your average indie game, and has literally zero working content outside local play on the Castle map.… Expand
Apr 9, 2014Game is too simplistic. The mechanics could have been a lot better, the level are decent but they could have been a whole lot better. It gets very boring very quickly until you realize there's not much left in the game for you to do. Go from A to B as fast as you can. That's it. 1+ for the effort.… Expand

I chose Milligan because of the faculty and staff. I knew I would be encouraged by learning from professionals who are committed to a Christ-centered lifestyle. The small class size also ensured that I would have close relationships with my professors which would, in turn, enhance my education.
The Milligan community really feels like a family to me! I know that I would not have the same quality of relationships with other students, faculty, and staff had I attended another school. This family atmosphere makes school and learning so enjoyable.
Milligan teaches me how to be a Christian leader in a very secular world. I know I am prepared to uphold my values in the workplace. Milligan teaches you the importance of respect, patience and love. These factors help me make better decisions and live by Christ's example.

The Toronto Blue Jays can scratch Sandy Alomar's name off their list of potential managers for 2013.
According to a tweet from Major League Baseball's official Twitter account, the 46-year-old Alomar will be returning to Cleveland next season to serve as the Indians' bench coach under new manager Terry Francona.
Alomar served as interim manager for the final six games of the Indians' 2012 season after the club fired manager Manny Acta.
Alomar had become a popular choice for the next manager amongst Blue Jays fans to replace John Farrell. He had been one of the lead candidates for the managerial vacancy when the club hired Farrell after the 2010 season.
Farrell was effectively traded to the Boston Red Sox on Oct. 21 when the team granted him his release, while swapping pitcher David Carpenter to the Sox in exchange for utility man Mike Aviles.
The team is still looking for Farrell's replacement and has lost a couple options off its potential shortlist already. The team's base coaches from 2012 - Brian Butterfield and Torey Lovullo - have already left the team to join Farrell in Boston.
The Jays have reportedly expressed interest in Arizona Diamondbacks third base coach Matt Williams and have been granted permission to interview the former third baseman for the open managerial job.

NEW YORK (BP) -- Though his roots are in southern Turkey and northern Europe, the commercialized Santa Claus as he is known in today's culture was born in Manhattan.
New York Times writer Jeremy Seal quotes a Cincinnati newspaper from 1844 stating that "the sterling old Dutchman, Santa Claus, has just arrived from the renowned regions of the Manhattoes," or Manhattan, "with his usual budget of knickknacks for the Christmas times."
Manhattan is where the commercialized Santa Claus originated. The eyes of children in the United States were on New York each year as they eagerly awaited the gifts that Santa had packed onto his sleigh. But as we all know, Santa did not stay in New York.
For many, the larger than life figure of old St. Nick has eclipsed the small child born in Bethlehem. According to the American Research Group, shoppers plan to spend an average of $800 on presents this year. Whether we like it or not, Christmas is a commercial holiday. The weak and the vulnerable are probably the last thought that we have as we try to find a parking spot at the mall.
In the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, it's easy to miss the reason we celebrate Christmas in the first place. Among other things, Christmas reminds us that God cares about justice. He sent His Son to die on the cross and bear the just punishment for our sins.
When Jesus returns, He will restore justice to the entire created order. As we await his second coming, we should work to bring justice to the vulnerable -- people such as the widow, the orphan, the sojourner ... and the victim of human trafficking.
As we celebrate the birth of Christ this year, we can use our Christmas list to fight human trafficking. Let's take our eyes off the North Pole and look again at Manhattan, for example.
Restore NYC and the Nomi Network are among the growing number of organizations across the country fighting modern-day slavery by generating awareness and caring for survivors of human trafficking.
Restore NYC is an aftercare program in the city for foreign-born survivors of sex trafficking. According to Restorenyc.org, their mission is to "end sex trafficking in New York and restore the well-being and independence of foreign-national survivors."
When a girl moves into a Restore safe house, her restoration begins. Through counseling and basic job skills, she is placed on the road to healing. But Jimmy Lee, Restore NYC's executive director, said even more restoration is needed.
"Restoration without being restored to the Father is incomplete," Lee said. The Gospel is paramount to the work of abolition.
The Nomi Network, nominetwork.org, is named after a survivor of sex trafficking. Nomi exists to restore survivors of sex trafficking in India and Cambodia.
The Nomi Network manufactures their signature "Buy Her Bag Not Her Body" and "Made for a Better Life" products, which are sold in the United States to raise funds and awareness of trafficking. Proceeds from the sale of the bags provide wages, health care and training for the victims they serve in Asia.
As you celebrate Christ's birth and await His return, I urge you to help bring justice for the vulnerable whether in New York or wherever you may live.

I remember reading somewhere that PHP4 has new features which support logon sessions of the visitor. I'm currently doing everthing with a mySQL database (storing the sessions and its ID) but I suppose this isn't a very elegant way to do it, right?
Where are the tutorials and codes to teach me how I can use this session stuff. Do I have to use cookies? Or maybe you have some code ready for me :)

Welcome to Capt'n Chucky's
Trappe, Colmar, and Blue Bell PA
Retail Stores
Owners: Heckman and Zakowicz Families
The Trappe, Blue Bell and Colmar Capt'n Chucky locations are owned and operated by the Heckman and Zakowicz families. Lois Zakowicz along with Manny and Janice Heckman can be found serving customers in our stores on any given day. Tom Zakowicz, Manny and Janice spent many years together working in the restaurant industry, including an instrumental role in starting the Applebee's and Boston Market restaurants in the Philadelphia area.
Our most recent venture began when Lois' brother, Jesse Taggart, mentioned that his neighbor in Rock Hall, Md., Chuck (Capt'n Chucky himself!), has a store in Newtown Square, PA, selling a full line of homemade crab cakes, soups, chowder's and many other delights. We got together, visited with Chuck and tried all the product, the rest is history! We loved the product so much, we decided to open some stores and get these delicious crab cakes out to the rest of the world!
We opened our first store in Trappe, Pa. in the spring of 2010 and our Blue Bell store that summer. As you can see from the menu, we are best known for the wonderful crab cakes, but offer much more. We are constantly working on new recipes and menu items and hope to always keep it fresh and exciting as the years pass by.
Our mission is simple – we strive every day to serve the highest quality product at the lowest possible price! We love serving people and look forward to meeting new customers every day, while spending time with our regulars who have now become our friends. Our goal is that everyone enters our store as a customer and leaves as a friend!
We look forward to seeing you in one of our locations very soon!

A shipment of medical supplies from AmeriCares is expected to land in Philippines on Thursday to help the victims of one of the worst typhoons ever recorded.
This shipment, which will include antibiotics, wound care supplies and pain relievers, is one of four from the Connecticut organization headed to Philippines in the near future.
"There are widespread shortages of medicines - the hospitals still standing have nothing left on the shelves," said AmeriCares Vice President of Emergency Response Garrett Ingoglia in a statement Tuesday. "The floods destroyed most of their supplies just as demand is spiking with injured survivors seeking help. And with the water supply compromised in many areas there is an increased risk of waterborne diseases."
Officials with AmeriCares said that the organization has been helping the Philippines since 1985 and has delivered more than $229 million in humanitarian aid to the country to date.
Typhoon Haiyan claimed the lives of between 2,000 to 2,500 and more than 2 million people are in need food/supplies, according to reports from CNN.

Tulsa officers arrest four juvenile boys and a 19-year-old woman after a hold-up at a Tulsa fast food restaurant.
Police said the teens blocked the victim in at McDonald's near 200 N. Gilcrease Museum Road as she was ordering in the drive-through lane.
Four teens boys, all under the age of 18, got out of the car and approached the woman. Police said two of them had guns.
The pack of suspects swarmed the woman's car and stuck the guns in her face. They took valuables like an iPad, cell phone and purse. Officers said the woman wasn't hurt in the ordeal and no shots were fired.
Shortly after the original call, an officer driving on west Edison Street noticed a car matching the suspect's vehicle description. Officers pulled the car over and arrested everyone. Corporal Dan Miller said officers found a BB gun inside their car and live ammunition from a pistol. Police were still searching for the weapons used.
"Real lucky that they stayed in the area for some reason," he said. "Happened to come up on them and caught them here within a half mile of the McDonalds."
At least one of the suspects would not cooperate with police when asked questions.
The suspects' names have not been released.

The New Orleans Saints dropped their second game of the preseason in a narrow 27-24 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars yesterday.
But, digging deeper, the loss had more to do with poor officiating than overall team performance.
Before bashing the replacement referee's, in fairness the Saints defense — who had played well against both the Arizona Cardinals and New England Patriots — had their worst outing of the preseason against Jacksonville.
Second-year quarterback Blaine Gabbert completed 13 of 16 passes for 112 yards and two touchdowns, guiding the normally anemic Jaguars offense on touchdown drives of 80 and 66 yards in the first half.
New Orleans first team run defense was also gashed for 86 rushing yards before giving way to the back-ups.
It was a performance that is sure to have new defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo preaching fundamentals for the rest of the preseason.
Despite the horrible play of the defense, the Saints second and third string units battled the team back in the second half, only to be cut down by the poor officiating.
There were numerous questionable calls against the Saints throughout the game, evident by their the game high 12 penalties for 132 yards.
Keep in mind the Saints are typically one of the least penalized teams in the league during the regular season.
First, towards the end of third quarter, rookie corner Corey White appeared to have intercepted backup quarterback Chad Henne on the Saints 13 yard line.
But after a lengthy review the call was overturned to the shock of the announcers and on-looker's throughout the stadium.
The replay of White's interceptions clearly showed that had two hands on the ball and maintained possession as he rolled on the ground before popping up and advancing down the field.
Once overturned the Jaguars were given a second chance which enabled them to get off a Josh Scobee 47-yard field goal that gave them a 20-17 lead entering the fourth quarter.
The final two "nails in the coffin" came in the closing seconds of the game after the Saints took a 20-24 lead thanks to a touchdown pass from Chase Daniel to rookie running back Travaris Cadet.
With 56 seconds remaining the Jaguars faced a fourth and eleven from their own 37 yard line after facing a stiff New Orleans defense.

I think that MSNBC's Keith Olbermann is on his way out (again)
He K.O. ed himself again. While Intrade hasn't picked how much longer Olbermann will last, I predict that he will released from MSNBC by the middle of January, 2011…just a guess.
You just have to look at Olbermann's work history - the guy is insubordinate because he knows how good he is at his job, what ever that may be. Many think it presumptuous for him to take on the mantle of Edward R. Murrow, much like Napoleon reputedly coronated himself Emperor of France. Olbermann suffers fools poorly - a trait that is a double edged sword in this very polarized day and age. Olbermann's fans see so many journalists, pundits and citizen activists wading and wallowing in dumbth that is not just part and parcel of their ideology, but has become the foundation that ideology, even to their own detrement. As a result, Olbermann has a career in reporting on how The Emperor has no clothes each weekday — reportage on such rhetoric is not the to the taste of Jon Stewart, Steve Capus or Tom Brokaw. They don't see it as straight news; never mind that dumbth replaces fact and substance in what passes for political discourse when reported by Objective Journalists™.
Those who object to the tone of Olbermann's work while giving little, if any, heed to the content of that work will bring the situation to the brink; Olbermann's insubordinance will soon become the tipping point.
The President hasn't been shy about going to the places where people are getting their information and trying to make his case. And I think that's what he'll do on the show.

October 14
by: ASRM Office of Public Affairs
Published in ASRM Press Release
Boston, MA – Research presented today at the International Federation of Fertility Societies- American Society for Reproductive Medicine meeting revealed a new technique which could be used to predict which embryos have the greatest potential to implant into a woman's uterus and initiate a pregnancy.
Using a technique known as Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction, the team from the University of Oxford and Reprogenetics measured the amount of mitochondrial DNA in embryos at the final stage of development prior to implantation (the blastocyst). Results revealed increased levels of mitochondrial DNA in the cells of embryos generated by women of advanced reproductive age (older than 38), as well as in embryos which were chromosomally abnormal. Moreover they found that blastocysts with excessive quantities of mitochondrial DNA were incapable of establishing a viable pregnancy, even if they had been shown to be chromosomally normal. This finding may help to explain why a significant number of chromosomally normal embryos fail to establish a viable pregnancy. Additionally, it could potentially lead to improvements in IVF by helping to reveal which of the embryos is most likely to produce a baby.
Mitochondria are often referred to as the "powerhouses" of cells, fulfilling most of the energy requirements. They are also involved in key cellular processes such as cell signaling, cell differentiation and apoptosis. The scientists undertaking the research offered the theory that high levels of mitochondrial DNA could be indicative of embryos under stress, and therefore unlikely to successfully implant.
"This is an elegant, innovative study that potentially has very important clinical implications. Our ability to understand, and predict, which in vitro embryos are capable of generating a viable pregnancy should be enhanced by this work," said Joe Leigh Simpson, MD, President of the International Federation of Fertility Societies.

Welcome to this short video on Working and Workless Households in the UK in April to June 2013.
Beginning with some definitions,
Considering households where at least one member is aged 16 to 64, A working household is a household where all members aged 16 to 64 are in work. A mixed household is a household where some members are in work and some are not. A workless household is a household where no – one is in work.
Moving down to look at the headline figures for 2013, 54.0% of households containing at least one person aged 16 to 64 were working households, 28.8% were mixed households and 17.1% were workless households.
In terms of the number of households this was 11.0 million working households, 5.9 million mixed households and 3.5 million workless households. Considering people aged 16 to 64 there were 20.2 million people in working households, 15.1 million in mixed households and 4.9 million in workless households. Finally looking at the number of children there were 6.3 million in working households, 3.8 million in mixed households and 1.6 million in workless households.
Moving on now to focus on workless households. The percentage of workless households stood at 20.9% when comparable records began in April to June 1996. Ten years later it had fallen to 17.3%. It rose to 19.2% in the recent economic downturn but in 2013 it was 17.1%, the lowest since 1996.
Looking more closely at workless households over the past year, in 2012 17.9% of households were workless but in 2013 17.1% were. The number of workless households fell by 182,000 on the year but some of this fall is due to a fall in the total number of households containing at least one person aged 16 to 64.
Considering now a specific section of workless households, households where no one has ever worked. This chart shows the number of households where no one has ever worked from 1996 to 2013. The top line shows the number including student households and the bottom one shows the number excluding student households. Although the number is still above what it was in 1996, both series have fallen since their peak in 2011.
Returning to people now, and considering the 4.9 million people aged 16 to 64 in workless households in 2013 by their reason for not working. This bar shows that 28% were not working due to sickness or disability, 21% were unemployed, 17% had retired early, 15% were looking after the family or home, 13% were studying and the rest gave various other reasons.
Finally looking at the 1.6 million children in workless households in April to June 2013. This bar shows that 33% of them lived with a couple, 65% lived with a lone parent and 2% lived in various other household types.
That was Working and Workless households 2013.
In April to June 2013:
17.1% of all households with at least one person aged 16-64 were workless, down from 17.9% in the same period last year. This is the lowest percentage since comparable records began in 1996. The total number of workless households was 3.5 million.
The number of people aged 16-64 in workless households fell to 4.9 million, the first time it has been below 5 million since 2008.
The number of children in workless households was 1.6 million, or 14% of all children. Of these, 65% were living in single-parent households.
There were 297,000 households where no-one had ever worked, down 43,000 on the year. Excluding student households there were 224,000 households containing only people who have never worked, down 41,000 on the year.
The North East remained the area with the highest percentage of its households workless, at 23%, with the South East having the lowest at 13%.

COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) - We are just halfway thru February and regular self-serve gas prices are already flirting with the $4 mark in Branch County and Southwest Michigan. This past weekend started with at least a 20-cent a gallon spike with a lot of stations hiking their price to around $3.95 a gallon.
The analysts say this is the season that refineries do maintenance before they switch over to summer blends, and that constricts the supply. Tom Kloza with the Oil Price Institute says it's also speculators driving up prices on the commodities exchange and it's happening earlier because of financial traders who are probably anticipating what's going to occur. Michigan Triple-A will release their weekly

StarcrossedWe were found in a pool of blood
Starcrossed lovers in each others arms
Suicide note in your pocket
Your hand grasped tightly in my palm
You were wearing that red dress
Under your overcoat
The rain had fallen hard that day
Distorting the words which you'd wrote:
'Dear cruel world and everyone within
I am leaving you all today
With the only boy I have ever loved
Lay silent here next to me
Nobody understands me
Or heals my wounds like he does
He feels the pain and sadness too
and I think we have suffered enough
No tears should be shed on our passing
As our souls now reside as one
Look for us in the rain dew
Look for us in the morning sun
Listen for our voices in the wind
Whispering how everything will be ok
Life was ugly but our death has been played out
In such a beautiful way'
Whatever Is To DoWe were ever so worried
When we found the knotted noose
And scribbled diary entries
With tales of self abuse
Teenage tears and tantrums
Can easily be explained
But what on earth would cause these
Freshly dripped blood stains
We were ever so worried
When you locked yourself in your room
Painted the walls pitch black
And ignorantly we assumed
That this was just a phase
That it would soon come to pass
And pass it indeed did do
Far too soon and far too fast
We were ever so worried
When you dyed black your hair
No longer did we recognise
The child that was once here
Our precious little angel
Where did your shaken bones go
And why did you leave us here
With no reason and no note
We were ever so worried
To find an empty bed
No more teenage tantrums
Just endless silence instead
If we could bring you home
Take care and start a new
We'd sit our precious girl down
And ask 'whatever is to do?''
Note MeThey found my love hanging
By a rope from a tree
With a note in her pocket
That was addressed to me
The stains of her tears
On the ripped out blank page
Evidence to my eyes
Of an emotional pain
The last tears she would shed
The last anguish she'd feel
The deepest cut to her heart
This time would not heal
And nor did it need to
Her earthly shackles left behind
Time now has no meaning
And meaning now has no time
Unfolding the piece of paper
Even the fresh air suffocates
Scribbled down , hurried scrawl
'if you're reading this, you are too late'
I fall to the floor frantic
Clutch the note to my face
Trying to catch my loves essence
Before in the wind, it drifts away
Your Life's A StageLife is comparable to a book
Which would make today a page
Don't dream of the drama unfolding
Act it out upon the stage
If the stage is your lonely room
And the theatre is your home
Then why not be the protagonist
Heroes never die alone
If you are treading those boards tonight
Then be careful how you go
Show the world and open your mind
To learn things that remain unknown
And if you are the director
Make sure the cast know their lines
If their actions stray away from the plot
Then cast them out of your life
If you are seeking attention
Awaiting ovation from the stalls
Be sure to do something worthy
Before the last curtain falls
Our fallen hero or heroine
Will rise for their final applause
Unlike a play we've no such luxury
For us there will be no encore
Suicide On Your LipsI tried so hard to pull away
At the end of the night when we kissed
But as you begged me once again to stay
I could taste suicide on your lips
And such an intoxicating fragrance
Far removed from the stench of death
Such a beautiful perfume of life
Of a lost girl hollow from neglect
Am I too late to save her my Lord
Will those lips ever smile again
When razorblade remedies are scarring
Her beautiful porcelain skin
You spoke of your sorrows till midnight
Then you slept in my arms until dawn
Awoke and cried tears until midday
For your past and your present you mourned
And when the last tear finally fell
I explained I'd never leave your side
Heartfelt words alone wouldn't do
I painted our future with pride
Together we created a masterpiece
A magnum opus beyond compare
I now kiss those lips on a basis daily
The taste of suicide is no longer there
CryingEverywhere I go I see her face
I never got to touch her soft skin
Tell me how can I mourn the ending
When we were yet to even begin
And please don't you tell me to move on
You really think that I'm not trying?
In truth all that I want right now
Is to get through a day without crying
Beneath The Ice SheetIt was a lonely cold winter's day
Not cold enough to freeze the leaves
But cold enough that as I exhale
It made visible this air that I breathe
The frozen grass around the pond
Creaks under my lead weight feet
Only fog alone will now obscure
What lies beneath the ice sheet
Are mine the only eyes to see her
Why is she still in her night clothes
Will she not be cold alone down there
Perhaps she has long since froze
And if so how does she talk to me
Knowing exactly how I think
Staring so long into her face
One day I'm sure I saw her blink
It was a lonely cold winter's day
I'd been here many times before
My parents told me to stay away
But my dreams told me to ignore
School became a preoccupation
As did food and a good nights sleep
I'd close my eyes and I'd see the girl
Not only blinking but she'd weep
Maybe I found her for a reason
While passers by came and went
And as the end of winter approached
I asked what would become of my friend
Would she rise to the surface for me
Or sink solemnly
In Love, I RemainI hold the guitar against me
But I'm afraid it just wont do
No notes that I play could compare
To the symphony that is you
So who is the orchestrator
Of this harmonic elegance
The beauty of which sustains me
With such a lasting resonance
Angels, please sing us a chorus
And paint the clouds so silver lined
May she always dream in colour
And may I always speak in rhyme
One single whispered word from her
Always seems to eclipse my pain
With belief, hope and destiny
Forever in love, I remain
I hold the paintbrush in my hand
Until creative thoughts will cease
But no strokes could ever come close
To your beautiful masterpiece
Each colour is so delicate
So rare and so understated
From a birth and a blank canvas
To potential God created
Angels, please sing us a chorus
And paint the clouds so silver lined
May she always dream in colour
And may I always speak in rhyme
One single whispered word from her
Always seems to eclipse my pain
With belief, hope and destiny
Forever in love, we re
Sharpen Your PencilSharpen your pencil
Dip your pen in the well
Show the world your vision
Through the story you tell
There's no right or wrong
So don't listen to critique
Your story alone is enough
So beautifully unique
And only you can tell it
Your version of events
Write it, sing it, paint it
Release, express and vent
Sharpen your pencil
Dip your pen in the well
And with your own wise words
Those ghosts you will repel
Please be true to yourself
No embellishment required
Every inferno was once
But a flicker of fire
So fan those fiery flames
And refuse to walk in line
As experience will grow
Through the passage of time
Ask Me To Write a PoemAsk me to write a poem
about kissing witches in my sleep.
Ask me to write a poem
about the bump on my middle finger
from forcing pen to paper.
Ask me to write a poem
about the discolored bruises on my knees
the poetry written in ink upon my flesh
the love in a foreign tongue on my wrist.
Ask me to write a poem
about Boyfriend,
my possessive Siamese,
about my rose thorn teeth,
and the battle scars I wear like trophies.
Ask me to write a poem
about how my own words make me sick,
about how I swear I'll die by the pen.
Ask me to write a poem
about boys and peaches
and how I wish they tasted just as sweet,
about how I sanded away layer, after layer
after layerjust to see if I really bleed ink.
Ask me to write a poem.
What Is A Good Book?What is a good book?
A good book disappears in your hands. A good book ceases to be pages covered in words. Punctuation becomes natural pauses or tones in a voice, in the language composed of words defined and given meaning by the reader's mind. A good book does not exist in your hands. It exists in the mind. It enters and remains. It unfolds, slowly or rapidly. It builds figures with blurred features, whose emotions and characters stand out to you and are seen by you each moment you turn your eyes in their direction - you often forget their surface. You are able to forgive an ugly character for being ugly, because you do not see the character's face. You see the character's soul, and if it appeals to you, you may fall in love with a lame, battered, and malformed beast. If the soul is wonderful, the figure is wonderful an ideal judgment humans praise but do not practice.
A good book is a good book when the author's imagination is planted within the reader's mind, where two creat
The Intelligent Are So SadA cascade of words parade around,
with thoughts of atoms and connotation.
She is brilliant, they say,
but she knows she is lost.
Numbers are her companion,
she understands their mean, average.
Words can twist her brain,
she loves the wonder they bring.
She is intelligent, they say,
but sometimes,
she doesn't feel clever enough.
Sometimes she feels clever too much.
Excusez-moi, in perfect French,
but nothing is gained by perfect word tense.
She is clever, they say.
But she is not clever the way they know.
She sees things as they are,
and she prefers her thoughts to the world.
She knows she loves them more than they in return,
and her friends will be there until they wont.
Friends reassure her, you'll be okay,
she puts a smile on her face.
She loves them as much as any,
even though there aren't many.
They bring out the best in her,
the happy girl,
not swamped by words.
The one who isn't drowning in formula.
Test scores and numbers don't mark you smart,
she knows this now,
engraved in her
I Comfort MyselfWith a warm drink, whispering secrets to my own reflection.
The struggles that plague me, though none may know,
Are only for the ears of my quiet mirror, who smiles
Softly, warmly and with care. He tells me, I'm fine
I've done well for now and soon I may finally rest.
Though the silence continues to press upon me,
Weighing upon my soul like an iron crate.
Still I find comfort in whispering secrets,
If only to my own reflection - holding a warm drink...
-Chen Yuan Wen, 17th October 2012
My Beautiful FilthMy Beautiful Filth:
We'll start with the rose petals
scattered lavishly across the bed
A symbolic collage of my broken thoughts
like memories crushed and thrown into the winds
they lie where they fall, forever forgotten...
Tacks and nails shall line the floor!
A perfect representation of my painful steps
To walk forward was to suffer
to stand still was to endure
Like the insults thrown at me, like the physical abuse
they drive their way into my skin and remain embedded
Unable to be removed except by force
And now comes the masterpiece, the perfect finishing touch
A wall of words and photographs depicting my sorrows and greivances
The filthy shame of these long years and the pain which I've kept inside
Now I engrave it into this concrete canvas...
Let all the world know of what was done to me
even as I part from it...
For in death I swear they shall have no reprieve!
In life I wanted to be beautiful and in death I shall finally be so
For the weight of
MaskHave you ever worn a mask for so long
That you're afraid to take it off,
And breathe in the purity
Of the unfiltered world outside?
Would your lungs be able to take it?
Or burst trying?
Have you ever worn a mask for so long
That you're afraid to take it off
Because no one might recognize you?
Would you recognize yourself?
Have you ever worn a mask for so long
That you're afraid to take it off,
Because you don't know anymore
If there's anything underneath?
Living a Lie.Living a Lie.
You say things you don't mean when you're angry.
You call me a waste of space and that you can't stand me.
When the dust settles you say you don't mean it.
You say I should know better than to believe it.
As usual I foolishly upkeep your illusive hold on me.
I allow you to mute my thoughts and take control of me.
You promise and reassure me that it will never happen again.
That this is the last time and you will put it all to an end.
But I know promises only comfort fools,
Who readily allow others to pull the wool
Over our eyes because it is easier to swallow the lies.
Can it be a mistake if it happens more than twice?
Despite my preaching I can never take my own advice.
I've realised that this aggression is a part of you
And because I can never dare to part from you.
I have to believe the love you have for me is true.
Sometimes you have to take a lie not for what it is
But for the truth and reality it suspends.
Withdraw your vengeful tongue and revert it into a kiss.
Cutter 'what are you scared of?'
she was too pale to be held against the sun: so she leans against it until you can't see her face.
her eyes were chalk-smudges on blackboards, blurred against a backdrop of white-washed walls. her outline was all fade-out and lace, as white as winter could be.
her words were quiet like stains are, clinging to a curtain in the window. just trying to blend into the pattern, or at least not become part of it.
and when she breathes her chest swells with see-through lungs--hoping that if you focus, you'll see right through her glass skin. after all, she's just a smudge of the wrong varnish in your eyes.
she shudders, and tastes all that's hollow drip down her wrist. and today, it looks grey instead of saccharine. regret honey-fills the cracks in her over-dried lips and ice-splintered skin. inklings of every word she forgot how to say. since, of course, they never made it past dead-deaf ears anyways.
knowing you'll never notice she's crying. crying for ever
FeverI like pretending I mean something to the ghosts
who wreak havoc on my bones-
impaling these masochistic butterfly wings
on railroad spikes
between heartbeats and bedsheets,
I got a heart in New Orleans,
palms engraving names like
Juliet, Alexandria, & Christine
on the seats of greyhound buses.
& I'm offering up 102 degrees of skin to a godless moon
as I breathe in her night scent.
I Was On A CloudI was the boy who remained silent
Through those weeks, months and years
Watching the tide begin to rise
From all of your fallen tears
A tide of insecurity
That in time became so deep
It would set about draining you
Of all the secrets that you keep
I was the boy who remained mute
I watched your life unfold from above
As you were shattered with pain
And given false hope with love
So many times I was tempted
To come and heal my angels pain
But up above in the blue sky
For now at least I would remain
I was the boy who stayed silent
A hush so deafeningly loud
You were never alone though
Princess, I was on a cloud
I watched as all of these things
Came to pass down below
And why didn't I intervene?
I had faith that alone you would grow
