Letter to the Editor: Don't raze the old elementary school
Dear Editor: This is an open letter to the Meeker community.

The playoff drought is over for North Cobb.
The Warriors intercepted Valdosta quarterback Shelby Wilkes five times, including three in the decisive second quarter, and went on to rout the visiting Wildcats 42-14 Friday in the first round of the Class AAAAAA playoffs.
It was the first victory in the state playoffs for North Cobb since 1959, when it beat Dade in the Class C semifinals. North Cobb's last postseason victory came against Wheeler in a region playoff game in 1979. The Warriors had been 0-12 in the playoffs since.
North Cobb (9-2), the No. 2 seed from Region 4-AAAAAA, will play its second-round game at Langston Hughes next weekend. Valdosta, the No. 3 seed from Region 1, finishes the season at 7-4.
North Cobb broke the game open with three touchdowns in seven minutes late in the first half to take a 28-7 lead and wasn't threatened the rest of the way.
Cameron Albright intercepted Wilkes and returned it 18 yards for a touchdown with 8:28 to play in the half, giving North Cobb the lead for good at 14-7. Tyler Queen threw a 62-yard touchdown pass to Xavier Borishade to make it 21-7 before an interception by Latrell Gibbs set up another Warriors touchdown. His 20-yard return gave the Warriors the ball at the Valdosta 5, and Queen scored on the next play for a 28-7 halftime lead.
Keionne Rives' interception near midfield stopped Valdosta's final drive of the first half, and Romelo Lewis and Hakeem Sawyer had third-quarter interceptions.
Queen finished with 157 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 23 carries. His 24-yard scoring run with 3:17 to play was the final scoring of the night. Queen's passing numbers weren't great, but he was efficient. He completed four of 17 passes but had 154 yards and two touchdowns, including a 45-yarder to Borishade in the third quarter.
J'Vonte Herrod added 93 yards rushing on 13 carries and had an 11-yard scoring run in the first quarter that tied the game at 7-7.
Wilkes was 19-for-46 passing for 266 yards and a touchdown, which came on a 21-yard pass to Taijuan Smith early in the third quarter to cut North Cobb's lead to 28-14. In addition to the five interceptions, Wilkes was sacked five times for 24 yards in losses.
Valdosta – 7-0-7-0 – 14
North Cobb – 7-21-7-7 – 42
V – Nelson Herring 6 run (Brennon Goodson kick)
N – J'Vonte Herrod 11 run (A.J. Borduin kick)
N – Cameron Albright 18 interception return (Borduin kick)
N – Xavier Borishade 62 pass from Tyler Queen (Borduin kick)
N – Queen 5 run (Borduin kick)
V – Taijuan Smith 21 pass from Shelby Wilkes (Goodson kick)
N – Borishade 45 pass from Queen (Borduin kick)
N – Queen 24 run (Borduin kick)

Wow……I hope Rance Gillespie has an exit strategy. For those that dont know, Valdosta will NEVER be a power again until they redraw the district lines. Parents have moved or enrolled their kids in a private school called Valwood. We should actually be playing down in 5A based on our enrollment.

North Cobb is the Truth. They are a team full of talent and heart… each one gifted in their own right. They some bad boys. Watch out Langston. Here we come.

North Cobb is a good team but our qb threw 5 interceptions, which lead to easy points. Our defense is young and our pass defense is just awful. This offense needs a dual threat qb like Norh Cobb, but we play politics at Valdosta and only lets the rich white kids play qb., but move our mobile black kids to running back or defense. Lowndes have the same.problem.

Great game North Cobb you earn it, I didn't see a blowout coming either way, i was looking for an dog fight like Lowndes n Colquitt games, we once again embarass our tradition and our region

The honest truth about chicken is this: It's hard to be unique in the way that you prepare America's bird. I mean, fried chicken is fried chicken.

The franchisor is looking for franchisees who can manage from 3-10 stores in a local area. Your ongoing royalties are 6%, which is fairly low compared to other franchises.

Hands down, the best accessory sported by any lady walking the red carpet at the Grammys last night was Adele's tattoo. The new mom wore her hair up for the awards show, letting a tasteful, itty-bitty cursive "A" that's been inked behind her ear make its debut. The initial (we're fairly certain) is in honor of her son, who was born this past October, and it confirms, once and for all, her child's name: Angelo.
Parents wearing nameplates, pendants, rings, etc. with their kids' names on them seems to be a new trend -- a trend I've fully embraced, being that I wear a necklace with my daughter's name on it every day. But how do we feel about tattooing our baby's names on ourselves?
Personally, I love it. I haven't gotten a tattoo of my baby's name, because, well, I'm sort of a wuss, and because I can't quite figure out if it's my style or not, but I've urged my husband on numerous occasions to get our child's name inked somewhere on his body. He's into it. But it's one of those things we sometimes talk about and are like, "Oh, yeah, that's a great idea, we should totally do that," and then look at something shiny and completely forget about. My father has my and my sister's names tattooed on his arm, and I've always found it sweet. It's sort of like an, "Aw, you'd do that for me?" kind of thing.
More from The Stir: Adele's Pregnancy Craving Is Weirdest We've Ever Heard (VIDEO)
There are people out there who've gotten some idiotic tattoos. I mean, really idiotic tattoos. And they eventually wind up regretting it. But you will never, ever in a million years regret getting a tattoo of your child's name. It's one of the few "foolproof inks" out there. And when it's done as classily as Adele's, it may even inspire you to do it again.
(Have a baby, that is -- but, two tattoos are cool, too!)
Do you have your kids' names tattooed on you?
Image via Jason Merritt/Getty
There's a big difference between an initial and a full name. You could make up all sorts of stuff about what an initial stands for as your feelings change.
This is pretty low risk tatoo. It's can be covered easily in situations where any tatoo might be perceived negatively and there's little to no danger that it'll ever remind you of something you regret.
"Itty-bitty?". As far as letters go, I would not consider that itty-bitty.
I have my daughter's name, footprint and dob tattooed on my back, and plan to do the same for all children I have. I also have my dad's name along with his and my favorite flowers (trilliums and calla lilies). There is no way I could ever regret tattooing my daughter's name. My personal rule for name tattoos is it must be one of the following: a memorial for someone important to you who has passed, a parental figure, or a child.
I also have a tattoo for my brother who passed away 10 yrs ago and will never regret that one either ;-)

Toyota RAV4 EV production set for Ontario, Canada
August 5, 2011 by ToyotaBloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Plants/Manufacturing , Crossover , Toyota , Canada , Tesla , Electric All 2012 RAV4 EV models destined for the U.S. will be manufactured in Ontario, Canada, according to Toyota Motor North America senior vice-president Ray Tanguay. Speaking on the sidelines of the Center for Automotive Research's Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City, MI, Tanguay told Ward's Auto : "Yes, we're just going into final details right now. Obviously we're not going to [import it from] Japan – that would make no sense. " Tanguay says Toyota's factory in Woodstock, Ontario, current site of production for all U.S.-bound RAV4 s, will easily accommodate assembly of the electrified crossover. The precise on-sale date of the RAV4 EV is, according to Tanguay, "still in negotiation," but Toyota has committed to 2012 for its retail launch. Furthermore, Tanguay says: "We don't know the spec; we don't know the content. All we know basically is we have an agreement to develop this with Tesla , and we have to assemble that vehicle in North America. To back up Tanguay's words, Toyota today confirmed that Ontario will be the site of production for the RAV4 EV. For the official press release, click through to the jump.

May 5, 2011 by ToyotaBloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Crossover , Toyota , Electric , Quick Spin A Solid Electric CUV, For A Prototype Toyota RAV4 EV – Click above for high-res image gallery Ahh, the joys of driving a prototype vehicle. During the annual Toyota Sustainable Mobility Seminar in San Diego, California this week, Toyota brought in a handful of all-electric RAV4 EVs for us to tool around in, but there were some caveats: The route was decidedly highway-free; when it rained one afternoon, we were told it would be better to wait to drive the cars; and one journalist had a problem with his vehicle that made it sluggish. The biggest asterisk in the whole program, though, was that the RAV4 EVs we were testing are only a pale shadow of what the real RAV4 EVs will be like when Toyota releases them in the first quarter of 2012. Why's that? Because the current fleet of new RAV4 EVs was an intentional rush job by Toyota's partner Tesla Motors to get vehicles into auto shows and on the road. A completely separate batch is being built to really get this model ready for production, and it will operate differently than the ones we got to drive this week. Still, we learned a lot about what's coming by checking out what's here today.

Avicii (©Jacob Schulman/Dancing Astronaut)
A breakout electronic dance music star sells out Radio City after sharing the stage with Madonna and scoring tracks for Ralph Lauren
By Kathy Iandoli
Special to MSN Music
In the land of DJs, Avicii is in the front rank of dance music stars primed for mainstream recognition. Born Tim Bergling, the 23-year-old producer, mixer and DJ has enjoyed a whirlwind career over the past year, nailing the Grammy-nominated "Sunshine," a collaboration with David Guetta along with his own smash track "Levels" (released as "Le7els"). With electronic dance music (EDM) steadily building buzz as a vital genre now crossing over into pop and R&B, the photogenic young beat master is already one of the top 10 EDM moneymakers and a major headliner.
His remixes for artists such as Madonna and Lenny Kravitz have garnered him even more praise, the former leading to a performance with Madge during her Yankee Stadium show even as he geared up for his Radio City shows on Sept. 26 and 27. Then there's his contract with Ralph Lauren, providing music and also modeling for the fashion empire's Denim & Supply line, and a fan base that includes more than 2 million Twitter followers, which in turn inspired the new track "Two Million."
So how does a guy who started out tinkering with beats and realized he was a prodigy keep all of this newfound stardom balanced? By staying humble, of course & and wearing lots of plaid shirts.
MSN Music: Do you ever get stage fright when it comes to performing in front of so many people?
Avicii: Not really. [It] depends kind of on the setting a little bit. The only time I do get stage fright is if in my booth or my area, something is weird there. Like maybe the CD players are way too low, and I have to crouch over and then I know that I look like a hunchback or something. Then I'll get a little bit [nervous], but other than that, no, not really. In the beginning, I used to get really nervous before, but not really anymore. I get more excited.
How did your shows with Madonna happen?
Well, I mean, she kind of showed up at Ultra [Festival] and presented me in Miami for the Ultra Music Festival, and this is just kind of basically us returning the favor a little bit. Because she and her camp have been wanting me to play with her for almost a year or something, but it's just never been the right time. You know I've been so busy with the touring, but this time it's Yankee Stadium and it's just impossible to say no to.
Yeah, and you can't say no to Madge too many times right?
Yeah, right!
Bing: Avicii music, videos and more
You sold out Radio City and they had to open an extra date. That's crazy too. Had you any idea when you started out that you were going to get this gigantic?
No, I don't know. Everything has come so quickly and I've been so busy touring so, like, I haven't really thought about it that much. It's kind of weird. I try to just stay focused on making my music and doing my shows. I haven't really thought about how big everything's gotten, but it kind of hits you sometimes and everything still feels completely unreal. You know, that I'm able to do what I love basically and the amount of people that actually come out for my shows now.
When did you realize this past year that you "made it"?
I think the actual turning point for me was probably this year's Ultra. That was really when I understood for the first time, because I was headlining the festival and it's one of those festivals that you dream of headlining as an upcoming DJ, so it was a huge personal goal of mine.
When you started DJ'ing at clubs, were you old enough to actually get in the clubs?
No, I was in Europe. I started producing and kept only producing for a long time until I met my manager and things started taking off. When I started producing, I wasn't thinking about DJ'ing, and then the DJ'ing part kind of came. You know, that's the only way to perform and make money, so it kind of came that way. Then the first couple of tours and shows I did in the U.S., I was 19, so I wasn't really allowed in the clubs. And then especially in places like Las Vegas, they kind of escorted me right to the DJ booth and right back out after. Like four guards to make sure I wasn't staying there.
How did you link up with Ralph Lauren for the campaign?
First it was just going to be an online movie thing, so it wasn't going to be a big deal. We've been approached before by lots of different brands, but Ralph Lauren just sounded perfect from the start because I didn't have to compromise anything with what I was wearing because I was already wearing Ralph Lauren. I love that brand and have for a long time. The Denim & Supply line I think is amazing, and a lot of the flannel shirts and plaid shirts they have, like I said, I already had. So it felt really good from the get-go, and then Ash [Avicii's manager] just started talking to them and it just turned into this really big thing.
Bing: Avicii & David Guetta's "Sunshine"
So now do you have a lifetime supply of plaid shirts?
Yeah, pretty much. I think I'm well above 100 plaid shirts by now.
Are you serious?
Yeah, definitely.
What do you put on your tour rider for your shows?
I mean, in Europe I know we used to do Legos, but no one used to give us Legos. I've been wanting to do something crazy, but I haven't come up with anything.
You requested Legos?
Yeah, but no one ever cared about it.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - In federal court in Lubbock on Friday, before U.S. District Judge Sam R. Cummings, 46-year-old Danny Randell Lott of Abilene, pled guilty to one count of interstate receipt of child pornography.
Lott faces a statutory sentence of not less than five years, nor more than 20 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, and a lifetime of supervised release. Judge Cummings ordered pre-sentence investigations with a sentencing date to be scheduled after that investigation is completed. Lott is in federal custody.
On September 17, 2008, Lott was indicted in this case on four counts of receipt of child pornography, one count of receipt of child obscenity, and one count of possession of child pornography.
His initial appearance was scheduled for October 17, 2008, in Abilene. Lott, however, failed to appear at the hearing. Lott was arrested in Lewisville, Texas in late November 2008. He had been living in Lewisville under an assumed identity.

Will the Belo Monte Dam project on the Amazon River cause more harm to the environment or will it be a good source of energy for Brazil?
The Amazon rainforest is an internationally recognized epicenter of biodiversity. Countless campaigns to stop the cutting and burning these rainforests have fallen on deaf ears. Now the Brazilian government plans to build what would be the world's 3rd largest dam [1] on the beautiful and ancient Amazon River. The Belo Monte project would span the Xingu River with 3 different dams: 233MW Pimental, 233MW Bela Vista, and 11,000MW Belo Monte. In addition, two artificial canals must be built to divert the river, which together will span more area than the Panama Canal.
These dams will have a myriad of negative impacts on the local environment. Construction of the dam will cause about 400-640 sq km land upstream to become flooded for a reservoir - an area equal to the size of Chicago. The town of Altamira will be flooded as well as countless acres that house the region's tribal populations. The impact on biodiversity includes 6-8 species of fish endemic to the Amazon River that will likely go extinct as well as a 2% decrease in the total forested area of the Amazon rainforest.
Organisms endangered by the construction of Belo Monte cannot verbalize their traumatic destruction of their ecosystem, but the indigenous people of the Amazon can; they are currently protesting the construction of the Belo Monte project through an "occupy" movement.
Belo Monte project is the first of many dam projects planned for the Brazilian portion of the Amazon River. Do these indigenous people have a right to decide what happens to their ancestral homeland? Or is the Brazilian government in the right by providing power for the majority of their country? Will the Belo Monte become the Belo "Muerte" dam (aka dam of death)?
Here's a 10 minute video that covers the impact the Belo Monte dam on the Amazon:

May 14 2013: I definitely believe that the construction of the Belo Monte dam project will do much more harm than good for the Amazon River Basin. It was already stated earlier how energy inefficient the dam would be, but in order for this dam to provide a year round water supply, multiple other dams upstream of Belo Monte would have to be constructed. One of the other sad facts about this project is that a lot of the energy produced by this dam will be going straight to mining. Another by product of the Brazilian governments need to produce more hydroelectric power for their mining needs is the amount of deforestation that is currently occurring. The Brazilian research institute IMAZON conducted a study in 2010 stating that the amount of indirect deforestation stemming from the Belo Monte is over 5000 km2. Not only would this decrease biodiversity and possibly threaten multiple species, but it will also cause the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere to rise. This number is also expected to rise from the large amount of people migrating to the area to find work with the project, who will settle in forested areas potentially causing widespread deforestation by illegal logging and cattle ranching. Another issue caused by the increased migration to the project area is the doubling of violent crime, such as murder, child prostitution, and drug use. The construction of these dams are not only affecting biodiversity of the area, but they are causing many human rights violations that are being ignored by the Brazilian government.

To Believe
Dead Sonnets and Haiku flambé
Poetry is dead and literature sucks
We all want something to believe in
So heres a duck!
Kenny A. Chaffin 5/11/2011
Truth, Goodness, and Beauty
Reason and passion merge into love, too,
When truth, goodness, and beauty new
Make their rendezvous.
Love is made up of truth,
Goodness, and beauty, the proof
All three are clearly seen within its roof.
Theyre intertwined as the eternal triad,
Woven into the perfect romantic braid
As its weft, warp, and wave made.
And yet theyre each different aspects
Of the same in ALL respects.
For example?
When a deep truth is intensely sown
And stripped of all its clothes,
Then what is left is its beauty known.
Beauty is the reality of truths meaning.
Would this be the name of the roses gleaming?
I dont know, but beauty blooms, for sooth,
As it were, like a rose from the soil of truth.
To know beauty, one must also know sorrow, thee,
For if youre alive enough to experience beauty,
Then youre also vulnerable enough, wholly,
To be exposed to its opposite twin of melancholy.
If we lived as figures in a painting few,
Then we would never have to
Face the death or sadness due.
That may not be so great as it seems, but less,
For what is deathless is also lifeless.
Once I had a beautiful love with a person.
It was painful when it ended yon.
My reasons light began to depart.
Blackness was rising in me, dark,
Beginning to snuff out my spark.
What did you do?
Well, I gave the feelings their due.
I duly visited the shrine of sorrow.
There I found, inseparable from truth, no less,
The beauty that had given rise to my sadness.
Upon realizing that row,
Rhythms soon rose from the depths of sorrow.
I began to sing and celebrate the very songs throw
Whose sweetness had broken my morrow.
So, the haze couldnt derail
The brightness that it veiled?
No, it couldnt, even though a dark foggy sea
Had sunk and swelled all through me.
Your love, beauty, and joy so fine,
Flowed like rays of sunshine?
Yes, and burned the misty veil
Until warmth on me prevailed.
Youre a positive thinker one.
It showed where my love and caring had gone.
( Love Equals Love Divided by Infinity )
The Lights of the Deep
Still awake, they looked up into the night sky.
He began to formulate a poetic theory of life on high.
Somewhere out there, among those ploys,
Deep in the vast darkroom of the endless void,
Is the eternal light from which we flashed into being
Exhibiting all of our color and grace seeing.
Like a prismatic lens, from afar,
We strain the white lights of the stars
Into the rainbows of our lives that are,
As the poet Shelley has alluded to, as the bar.
And here we shine as such!
A long way from the stars, us,
Born from stardust.
And all those stars burning out there,
They are the fires of home, the where!
Some legends cry
That the stars are goblets in the sky,
Placed there on high
So we can taste Heavens drink when we die.
We have many myths and legends of the sky,
But, while we talk, hope, dream, and fly,
The stars shine on, heedless of where we lie
Long after we die.
The Answer That is Just a Larger Question
He looked up at the stars and clouds
And began to wonder some thoughts aloud.
The one metaphysical question
That people have always asked is,
Where did it all come from, dear?
However, there are no simple answers.
First, let us think of what we know,
Or even what we think that we know:
Either matter is eternal and it has always existed
In some form or potential, persisted,
Or it somehow balances into being, out of nowhere.
Both propositions are equally difficult to answer.
All we can be expected to know is that we are here.
As all else may be just conjecture,
And is therefore before and/or beyond thought
Being merely aforethought and afterthought.
But, people keep thinking about its delves,
And sometimes they fool themselves
Into thinking that they have found the answer
To the ultimate question od why are we here
How do they do that?
Well, they beg the questions pitch,
By proposing a mysterious solution, which,
Though seemingly satisfying, at first,
Only introduces a deeper questions thirst
That is larger than, although similar to the first one,
The original question.
For example?
Well, because the Earth is so complex
And because the life process
Is not readily and completely understandable,
They believe Earth and life have a Designer, some people.
The Earth couldnt just simply be here, being,
Without any such Designer, meaning a Being?
Well, it could be, actually, as would be the norm.
What I mean is that it could have been formed
By natural laws from the eternal matter
That you mentioned before the latter,
But people still feel, or perhaps just strongly wish, here,
That the Earth should have an origin from a Designer.
After all, effects do seem to usually have causation,
Do they not, though a Being raises a similar question;
For if life requires Life before its due,
Then that would be true of Gods Life, too.
Well, either matter could have formed itself
Or it could have always have been on the shelf!
True enough, but people feel, since gladdened,
That this could never have happened,
For they reason, of course,
That all things must have a divine source.
God is their solution, the beginning course.
You mean a creative deity? A super being?
Yes, and the other good thing about their solution
Is that it gives them something to look forward on
A divine destiny in Heaven, a reward
Something that is quite desirable, of course-ward.
That solution is a gigantic step to One,
But an understandable one.
True, but people still have a tendency
To assign divinity
For what they do not understand completely.
Thousands of years ago, they decided,
The gods were to have resided
On the highest mountain tops of Olympus rises.
Until people climbed those mountains, bare,
Seeing no gods up there.
Yes, and so then the gods were relegated
To more distant and Heavenly realms, gated,
Such as the sun and the moon,
But were not found there either, very soon.
But, were getting off the subjects rune.
Well, I may believe in laws and states
By which the universe naturally operates,
Due to the interrelations of magnetic swirlings,
Electric, and atomic forces and such whirrings,
But thats not the God to which youre referring.
Right, Im referring to a conscious super beings worth,
The supposed creator of Heaven and Earth.
Youre referring to the life principles list
That is part and parcel of all that exists,
The very force of existence itself that persists
A force thats here eternally,
Although we ourselves may not be.
So, God created matter and energy and all that is?
So they say.
But where did God come from?
Well, either he always existed as something
Or he was created from nothing.
Or both, since it is said that he made himself.
But, of course, the dogma;
So now were right back to the original dilemma.
Ah, they have begged the question!
Yes, theyve answered the question
By proposing a much more difficult question.
True; to summarize the bet:
They werent willing to accept
That all the matter and energy of the universe
Could have formed itself or always have been first,
So they said that God created it from some sod;
But then they easily accepted the fact that God,
Who is way more complex than the universe,
Formed himself or always had been in the lurch!
Right, the solution to the larger problem
Is exactly the solution
That they refused to accept to the smaller problem
In the first places constitution.
A needless extra step was introduced, really,
An extra complexity, unnecessarily.
The Awakening
Here's a collective of one line each, rhyming couplets:
(lets join in one movement for science, for truth)
The misty mountain was drenched in droplets,
(for the world is covered by life and proof)
Which reflected rainbows of light
(the potential of which is bright at length)
Showing the particolors lone and bright.
(this diversity itself being the strength)
Beneath the mountain a dark presence lurked,
(for history has a demon lurking)
And so on down from the summit they searched.
(so belief not being enough of the searching
the source of the truth must be sought over preaching)
Through tunnels dark the Elders flew fast,
(the learned humans looked on with fervor)
As thus they could surprise what it hast.
(seeking to topple entrenched belief going further)
Dark tongued demon's shrill call cuts,
(the relinquishment of power is not given easily by fools)
As then they froze to best locate those zealots
(stop, look, and listen to the world to find the tools)
Gouged out brainpans, they hung in blooded cathedrals,
(violence of the indoctrinated flows back into history's thrall,
and still hangs on, feasting on the minds of the vulnerable)
We ascendant to locating the highest installs.
(hark, the rise of science upon high,
the road of truth sets the scene of nigh)
The elementals melt before the Phalanx of Truth's transcendency,
(religion that gave birth to and parented the being's beginnings is routed by the truths that disprove their ongoing relevance)
As the ever-present, wishful fantasy remains for them to fancy.
(freed of the control of belief the ideas of gods go on forever to inspire the minds and imaginations)
The final act sees a city of diamond flourish below the world,
(the sharpest, brightest and strongest finally build the technologically advanced existence they knew they could)
The shimmering and glittering radiations of light unfurled.
(thrusting out into the unknown the humanoids begin
a final journey of enlightenment. A sway of the universe is sure)
The performance is now over its tasks;
The artists have taken off their masks.
The illusion is fading; it cannot last;
The scenes behind are appearing fast.
Once the scenery is burnt out back
On the bonfires of religious tradition's rack,
And the embers have cooled of their prefects,
Up from the ashes will rise a bird so free and perfect
That its beauty will cut through the miasmal dew
Formed steam of false parade to inspire more than a few
Of the burnt-out-nest dwellers to curlicue upwards
On the heated thermal of the firebird's
The End/Beginning

PS last post wasn't the new one. Can you kick off the new one?
Original: Yellow Mist
Yellow mist floating, its rarity deadly,
furling flections pointing down mouths and,
wet lungs and bleeding, slowly filling,
with a "hoff", a cough, another piece lost.
This way is misleading for those still breathing,
will not breathe,
yet the frost under foot soothes,
as men pant coolly, as chemical burns.
I lived for my whole life time,
rasping and searching for a breath.
The day I should have fallen went on and on.
I can't see past my body,
I look as far as my death but cannot see further.
The love I have still burns yet I can't breathe,
can never breathe, will never breathe again.
My great grandson asked me:
"Did you die grandy?"
So I told him,
as my consciousness drifted in and out of the battlefield,
that he was but a dream I had while… I was dying.
Rising up to the sky I felt all of my children,
possibilities taken?
Where I went to I don't know,
sometimes all I see is whiteness,
and someone says:
"Hey you. How are you?"
I never quite know how to answer,
because at once I had lost and gained so much.
I still smile though as I did when I fell that day,
yellow teeth gritted, looking for security.
The love still runs deep,
for all that came after, fulfilment of dreams.
My comrades still watch me smiling,
their wide smiles stretching my patience,
but I still love life.
As we all dance together,
my breathing eases,
and now… yes, I can see "my happy place".
Time will always be with us,
but I don't care anymore,
I am free now.
I still taste the gas,
my love breathes deeply of it,
for all it has given me.
I will not go back.
However, after all this sum,
We still dont know where the universe came from.
True, all we really know for sure of cause
Is that were here and that there are laws
And forces, and life principles
Which have and may continue
To allow the universe to operate, a few,
In the consistent and stable fashion
That we can know and see in our ration.
Well, well just have to listen to our own intuition.
Its all we have to go on.
Is the super being, if there is one,
A good, bad, or an indifferent One?
It is assumed that he is good,
But theres no reason he couldnt be bad.
But, again, its merely conjecture
To ascribe human emotions lectured
To a being who may well be above all that.
Some religions say that
Hes both bountiful and vengeful,
That his love is conditional;
That is, either we obey his laws tell,
Or hell punish and torture us in Hell.
And that he destroys life by his will,
As in the Great Flood still.
And that he allows the Devil to exist to tempt us?
Yes, maybe, as they say or invent,
So we can earn our place in Heaven sent.
You mean, or rather,
Some religions say that God shaped our human nature,
And then introduced temptations to our nature,
And then intends to punish us merely for being human?
So they say, of our acumen,
Although youve pointed out
The absurdity of its doubt.
Anyway, the gods of all religions here
Dont have the same character.
How do religions know any of this stuff anyway?
Well, the founders of many of the various religions
Claim to have had divine inspirations,
Through visions and visitations
With God himselfs instantiations.
Unfortunately, for them,
God told them each something different;
Thus the existence of the Catholics, Lutherans,
Moslems, Jews, and Mormons.
There must be hundreds of religions,
All claiming by divine inspiration
That they and their myth region
Are the one and only true path to Heaven,
And that all the others are false and should be dead,
Or so they heard from the voices in their heads.
Well, since they all contradict each other, zany,
How do we know which is the right one, if any?
We dont; its hard to sort it all out, the fuss.
Theres Buddha, Mohammed, Jesus
And some other prophets among us
Telling us of places like Hell, Heaven,
Purgatory, nirvana, etc., and other havens.
These are all major differences in beliefs!
And some eastern religions dont even mention God shove.
Theyre based more on the idea of a life principle of love.
It being ingrained in all things, from below, not above.
And some western religions say and cry
That God must be adored and glorified
And bowed down to; its not fun.
But again, this may just be one
Of mans own emotional inventions
From what hes used to, as convention.
Well, if I were a god and ruled above,
You could take away all of my powers but love!
Thats very ingenious and generous of you, God
But, of course, love means generositys sod;
We have no use for an unloving God
And then there are the Polynesians,
The Indonesians, and the Melanesians.
They have elaborate superstitions
And beliefs in good and evil spirits riven,
And how to obtain a higher place in Heaven.
Which isnt really too different, say,
From most religions of today.
True, but doesnt the end. the gleams,
Sometimes justify the means,
For most religions advocate goodness.
Jesus preached that we should give love, blessed,
And kindness to our fellows and all the rest,
Just like the Buddha taught, and the Son.
And the Virgin Mary was a good person,
Though some religions dont believe in her son.
Yes, those are good policies for anyone to follow,
Anytime, regardless of religion or belief thats hollow.
I live them. You live them. Its pleasant.
Jesus was good, but his father wasnt.
Religion is good for certain borderline people;
It can nudge them toward the steeple
To the way of being good people.
Unfortunately, it can also blind them,
Brainwash them, and bias them.
How so?
Well, when one believes in something very deeply,
One tends to become intolerant of those with other beliefs,
Even good ones, because allowance of other beliefs
Seems to lessen the credibility of ones own belief.
Then so it is that Moslem children, so sure,
Learn at a young age to dislike the yore
Of the Jewish people and their culture.
Yes, thats part of it, for,
Its the differences between cultures that starts wars,
And there have been plenty of religious differences
That have started wars and clashes.
Such as the Protestants vs. the Catholics in Ireland,
The Sikhs vs. the Hindus in Indias land,
The Jewish persecution, the Wars of the Crusades,
The Shiites vs. the Sunnis in Persia, the rage.
So, like anything else,
Religions are neither good nor bad themselves,
But that human selves
Only make them so themselves.
One is free to believe as one chooses, from the list,
But there will always be some know-it-all evangelist
Trying to convince us otherwise, the blessed fist.
Maybe we should put all the evangelists,
Preachers, solicitors, and their gists
Into one room and let them all talk amidst.
At first, each would be convinced of their fight,
That beyond a doubt that they were right.
Yes, they would spit and spat,
But soon theyd all see that
The others were convinced, also, at that,
Then perhaps they might realize that
Their beliefs were arbitrary
Being dependent mostly
On their parents religion or region of birth,
And realize that they, if born elsewhere else first
Or under other circumstances,
Might espouse different beliefs, of the random chances.
Well, my dear, youve come a long way for a nun.
As you, for a monk, have come.

The Jinn of Earth and Fire
The Jinn of Earth and Fire
In the heat the harsh dunes quiver in a
mirage day of forgetful dreaming,
The Empty Quarter visits the fevered watered
dreams of swallowed souls.
Alas for the traveler lost in this waste, to die
before a vision of bountiful seas, mad to the
sands liquid eloquence.
But in the night ergs sleep and murmur,
bowed backed beneath their sister the moon.
Whose barren face smiles in airless approval
of her heated brother.
Down these steep dunes we rolled entwined, our
love mixed upon this sterile ground, and then
she played a song to one born of a smokeless
And the whirlwind careened and cracked to
notes and lilts of a Sufi pipe; lifting from
the haunted waste arose the Jinn our love
And the Jinn of fire and earth whispers the
deserts empty curse that love alone till dawn
can lift, to pass beyond the serpents gate.
Good Job SM. Here's one from me today..still fiddling with it a bit.
A Nose Up
The experts say
the nose knows
Apparently the sense of smell
two hundred million years ago
was the first four-footed step
pushing our tiny peanut brains
to bigger and better things
And Darwinian evolution
being what it is
by any other name
rose to the occasion.

Adams Apple
Powers that be, will you help me?
Sometimes the danger is hard to see,
And all I want is to be able to see,
The demon that lurks unbridled in me.
In some the devilry is covered by flesh,
And the naked eye finds it hard to assess,
But even if beauty behaves at its best,
Adams apple can protrude from the flesh.
Sometime you find you've done something wrong,
Sometimes you feel you no longer belong,
But if you force through the pressure and throng and give a song,
Then to belong won't feel wrong.
Emerge from your cloud with a smile on your face,
Catch thirst for life with warm embrace,
And use it on which a good life to base,
Then everyone with you troubles will face.
Exorcise demons that live in your mind,
Exercise your body leave frailty behind,
Give love to others, be gentle and kind,
And respect for yourself will follow behind.
Do not be tempted by forbidden delight,
Even if the cherry is juicy in sight,
Or Adams apple puts up a fight,
Force temptation into the night,
And to you will come pleasure in a natural light.
A Memory so cherished.
Gone forever the broken, flinted, dusty road,
into a new world I passed,
dodging the claws of bracken's brethren,
moving silently through the mist,
My breath caught sight of itself,
whistling whispers, with the elegant pines
that dizzied me,
I twirled as they turned.
Flashing beams, warmed my face,
A sprinkling of sparkling
from frosty clothes,
closed my eyes,
their lids like geometric roses,
cascaded to the ballet above,
I swayed in silence,
cold knees creaking softly, as the trees danced,
hissing their whispers in my ears.
Listening between the sunbeams,
my heart beat felt strong to me,
the whoosing of blood fading into the background,
There was no interruption of pace,
as the deer leaped by,
their file storing away my breathe,
causing my heart to leak into the forest,
lost forever.
When I close my eyes,
roses return a gift to my heart,
The treads of secret animal tracks,
emblazoned there, twist my yearning,
I cry as I did then,
the memory of my knees
on the blanket of pine needles,
sobbing silently,
my tears froze in time.
The golden dome of Sancta Sophia shone,
Along Saint Austins journey from olden Rome,
It reflecting the flaxen suns blonding band,

The world turns, shadows fly, energy spreads apace,
Consolidating here and there, not an impatient race.
Muslims crash the gates, and now new Rome is cleft,

Austin mends his detour, and through the forest flies,

Here and Now
So, perhaps Heavens promise is bereft,
But Im not at all distressed.
I cant know all the secrets, just me,
So Ive dismissed the dream of immortality,
Although I certainly wouldnt mind having it.
For now, I live life with gratitude, the best fit,
And accept whatever is left of It.
Me too. Ive said my good-byes
To faiths dream of forever skies.
I am, of course, much too philosophical to be bitter.
Like you, I am resigned to its flitters.
I, too, accept, with hunger and joy and pleasure,
What is left of the dream, whatever.
People like to wish and dream afar
And believe that they are more than they are,
That they deserve a divine destination,
That they are special among all creation.
Its only natural to desire something good,
Although its greedy, perhaps, and not good.
Of course, but the ultimate humility
Would be to know that there may be no divine destiny,
That we are all just fancy electrochemical organisms,
And very much a part of the natural organic world-isms.
All I know is that were an expression
Of some life principle or life-force done,
That comes from some mysterious source giving.
This I can know because we are indeed living.
Whether the force is conscious or not, perforce,
Or what its like, I do not know,of course.
All I can do now is flow with that force.
Me, too, for when I go against the flow,
There is only pain and suffering to go.
Instincts, intuition, and natural urges
Must exist for a reason. So, I listen to their words.
Rather than struggling against the way things are,
One must become the way things are,
Giving oneself to the moving whole, as we are,
And flowing with it, often very far.
The golden dome of Sancta Sophia shone,
Along Saint Austins journey from olden Rome,
It reflecting the flaxen suns blonding band,
He unto Britain to spread the Word to England.
Saint Gregory, who was to have gone this far from home
Had been elected Pope and so was recalled to the throne.
Saint Austin was ever a lively and wandering monk
A French-Italian nun packed forth into his trunk.
A carrier pigeon flew the latest to Austins leg,
From his friend the Pope, known to him as Greg:
We shall conquer not with our Papal Armys spear,
But with the requisite Christianity, dear within its fear.
Saint Austin was taking his time, seeing all the sights,
With the nun ever out of her habit during the nights.
It was like Googles stunning street level view, http://9-eyes.com/
They observing everything first hand as always new.
The world turns, shadows fly, energy spreads apace,
Consolidating here and there, not an impatient race.
Muslims crash the gates, and now new Rome is cleft,
A prism of many-splendored light is all thats left.
Austin mends his detour, and through the forest flies,
Recalling Galileos last look unto the starry skies.
Sister Angelina lifts her cup, the alpha and the omega,
And they raise their growing minds to the mirror of Vega.
Once the great Roman Empire was everywhere known,
The center of Earth the center of the solar systems home,
But now the saints walked along, bearing the world alone,
Yet life and play must precede their spreading of the tome.
They would be gone for over twenty years, but not forty,
For they would ask directions, unlike Moses and his party.
God had sent a plague to Europe, it killing one in three,
But none for a year now, yet they dallied one more, to see.
The alps were climbed, soaring into the realm of Heaven,
And so they stuck their heads up into that glorious haven,
But soon ducked them back down again, just in time,
For there was a big soccer game going on in that clime.
Did they have to bring the invisibility disorder unto Britain,
Until all the rampaging residents there were by it smitten?
Why should claims of unknown essence precede existence,
Of what good would this hardy toil bring to the persistence?
In France they lay among the harvested grape crops,
Loving and squeezing out the best and last drops.
All was so lush and green, this world as seen,
And so they lived of life and love in-between.
Pope Gregory was a scientist through and through,
Sending them to spread the word of God all anew,
Gregorys continuing cover over gathering resources
To manage all of his realistic experimental courses.
Many years later they took a boat across the channel,
Arriving in the mixed up country of heathen rebels,
And then thought, if weakness can be turned to strengthness,
Then we have to tell ourselves that's another weakness.
Oh there was ever the word of the ancients to pass on,
Although we tend to scoff at the beliefs of the ancients, yon.
But we can't scoff at them personally, you do see,
To their faces, and this is what annoys you and me.
However, the first thing I learned was to forgive myself.
Then I told myself, that self of my more learned self,
Go ahead and do whatever you want, it's okay by me.
For there is this lovely parentheses here within eternity.
Life is a constant battle between the heart and the brain,
Fought amid the bright sun, the darkness, and the rain,
Pondering that and that, what be, on and on anon,
But guess who always wins. Its ever the skeleton.
Yet this is the story of Saint Austin who wholly brought fore,
Christendom to England, although they dont like it anymore.
Religion will eventually fade, yes, but in the interim
It will change, an initiation of its slide into oblivion.
The stodgy elevation of doctrine over ethics
Will no longer carry the day, and there will be less
Emphasis on believing, and more on belonging.
All will become more democratic, with much singing.
And then when Saint Austin came to his staff
And pulled it out of the earth, onto the path,
Incontinent by the might of our Lords mountain, [what!]
Sourded and sprang there soon a fair well or fountain.
He and all were bathed of clear and flowing waters sip
Which refreshed him well and all his fellowship. [What a relief.]
His staff was cured and he ever guarded it more closely,
And so the years went by, alive and well with being, mostly.
Saint Austin then returned to Rome and its discussion forum
Twenty years later, as forty would have been too long for him.
Pope Gregory welcomed him, Has it been so very long, my friend?
Yes, for I stopped to smell all the roses along the way, to no end.
Good. So, we have conquered Britain wide and long
Through our Christianitys deep and probing prong.
Rather than with our Papal armies that are long since gone?
Yes, it has been done, at least until Darwin comes along.
I see that you long ago posted about the flagellum to Leskey,
Eliminating Behes claim to good old irreducible complexity.
Yes, its very old hat now, and one can find it on Google:
And good old Behe didnt come through, so high,
At the Dover trials either. Well, so much for that guy.
Yes, and now the believers dont want to believe it,
What I said about existence just because I said it.
The idea is that they only address the ideas presented,
For proof or refutal, not worry about who it represented.
Yes. So whats new in this territory?
Im now finishing my inflation theory.
Inflation was so rapid that the particles in pairs
Of the always temporarily emitted virtuals there
Were forced to become separated from one another,
With some then to remain as enduring, rather.
And so they made a universe!
That does it then; its the last verse.
Im declaring it infallible, a snap,
Even before the next WMAP!
The Bible will be seen to be of but human construction,
A result of human instinct, frailty, fear, and no wisdom,
And people actively speaking to each other, with laughter,
Will come to replace those passive readings from scripture.
May the quest be with you, too, the life and the fun.
Lets go have some beers and smokes with the nuns.
Tobacco hasnt been invented yet, oh, darn it.
Ok, lets go down to the lab and work on it.
The Loving Couple
Well, here we areliving a loving relationship.
Back in the monastery I thought a lot
About our developing relationships plot.
Once, I stayed up all night, thinking it free,
But getting nowhere. Then it suddenly came to me,
And I found serenity and delight
Id discovered that only the heart-light
Can know whats right.
Men and women cannot exist in isolation,
For the nature of one makes necessary the other one.
One cannot have the valley without the mountain.
Lo, when men and women join in love,
There is wholeness again, below and above.
So, the laws of celibacy are artificial scripture,
For they very much go against nature.
Follow your natural urges.
Its not natural to suppress a natural urge.
Yes, it takes a strong desire to overcome desire.
Its a paradoxical and self defeating desire.
Come to me!
First they touched, then embraced and held, freeing,
Then began to merge, snuggling into each others being,
Blending in ways that had no name,
Completely transcending the physical plane,
As if they could both occupy the same spaceness.
Mind, heart, soul, and body were all of a oneness.
They drifted in the blackness,
Floating through the universe above,
Suspended by their love.
There was no past, no future;
There was only NOW, for sure.
Where does the rose bloom? she asked.
In loving hearts, he answered.
Which roses last the longest? she asked.
Roses last when they grow steadily and slowly,
For, if their growth is too quick to pass,
Then they will wither very fast.
She opened her cloak to take him in, warmly,
And they embraced lovingly, longingly, and thoroughly.
They felt the unlimited power of the universe.
She felt that she held the entire cosmos within her.
They were weightless, warm, and together,
Drifting up through the forest weather.
There were no reference points, no hedges,
No walls, borders, or rough edges.
They became one as they floated heavenward,
Drifting through the clouds afterward.
You have enclosed my universe,
Yet it is still a boundless verse.
You have filled the universe that I enclose, as us.
I will fill that emptiness with my fullness.
I will empty your fullness with my emptiness.
What is not is equally as great as what is.
We are equal partners in life and loves loan.
The monk and the nun cannot live by bread alone.
Celibacy is a crime against nature.
One might as well stop eating, or not breathing air,
Or shun any other such natural functions rapture.
When opposites are of a balance,
The edges of all things dissolve and distance;
Time and space become as one;
All dimensions are transcended, done.
Yes, everything melts into everything,
Yet remains as itself to sing.
All is of a piece, yet, all is interconnected and related.
Yes, all things are interrelated effects;
Opposites are merely different aspects
Of the same phenomenon
A tear and a smile, light and dark, man and woman.
As equal partners, in any instance,
Men and women may achieve a perfect balance.
The tide of love supports us and carries us along with it.
We are carried together down the mountain stream
To rejoin the sea, for therein lies the completed dream.
Life is a diamond, a rainbow of many colors.
Human beings need each other,
Especially in nunneries
And monasteries.
Body and spirit cannot be separated,
For they are integral parts of the humans related
They must operate in tandem
To make the being human.
They are inseparable, unlike water and oil.
It is as the flowers toil
Drawing lifes spirit from the soil.
A man and a woman are drawn together
By the same urge thats between root and flower,
Leaf and soil, breath and wind, bud and scent,
Sun and water, star and planet.
Man and woman cannot exist alone;
The nature of one requires the other one;.
When they join in love, wholeness is done.
Like the Yang and the Yon,
The man is in the woman
And the woman is in the man.
From the hardness of the worlds sallies,
A man comes to the valley
Of the soft mountains
To be overcome by woman.
She is the roundness of Earth and moon,
Warm with promise, ever in bloom.
The valley and the mountain still
Each make the other possible;
They are opposites, but just in name,
Since they are really one and the same.
My words to you are a faint echo
Of what my heart truly feels as so.
What is and what is not combine to make wholeness.
Love is lived by lovers. They come together,
Like mountain and valley, rain and river,
Air and mist, Earth and moon, forever.
Yes, they go with the flow, as told,
And give themselves to the moving whole.

Fascinating vid: Green heron deploys bread bait to lure fish to spearing distance (via @io9). Many other video clips of herons using bait, showing this is not a fluke, but an established fishing strategy.

Was contacted by a recruiter at first for a 15-20 minute initial screening. Next was a 45 min chat with an HR Manager which was a thinking ability and problem solving interview. Immediately afterward was a 45 min interview with a team member who was very nice and interested in what I had to offer. Fairly straightforward questions and there was more focus on my ability to use the resources at hand to come up with reasonable solutions. Invitation to an on-site interview was very quick and I am yet to attend it. Recruiter was extremely helpful.Interview Questions

Google HR department reached out to me on linkedIn for an entry level analyst position opening they had. Frankly, I have no clue how this recruiter found me, nor was I convinced that she was a legitimate recruiter who works at google. Either way, I had a call with another recruiter who seemed more in touch with what's going on. She decided we should get back in touch at a later time because their interview process takes so long that there wasn't enough time to apply for an H1B.

The process took 2 months - interviewed at Google in March 2008.Interview Details
The interview process at Google is long and tedious. Initially, a recruiter from Human Resources contacted me and put me through a phone screen. She warned me that the process would be long (could take several months). I had two follow up phone interviews with managers. One of them was relevant to the position where the manager asked about my career goals, etc. and the other was just a bunch of random questions to test my thought process.
I was inivited to an on site interview. I met with several employees and the hiring manager. I was asked a number of IQ questions/word puzzles and had to respond without a paper or pen to work through my answers. Traditional interview questions were also asked. The employees were very friendly, as was the manager.
I did not receive a response directly from Google stating that I did not get the job. I waited a couple of weeks and contacted the recruiter myself, at which point she told me that they cut me off. I wish they would have let me know right away.Interview Questions

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2+ months - interviewed at Google in January 2011.Interview Details
I was referred through my neighbor. I had a phone screen, and was passed on to an in-person interview, which consisted of market-sizing and brain teaser questions. I believe I started the process in November. I had the phone interview in December.
I was scheduled for an in-person interview in January. I met with 5 employees. I was given one particularly tough consulting-type question. I didn't get any feedback on it, except that if I thought of a better answer, I should email this employee my new answer. Of course I did this, but I didn't get confirmation that it was received.
Later that week, I heard that I did not get the job. The recruiter offered to recommend me to other positions at Google, which she did, but those never got past the phone interview stage.Interview Questions

I was interviewed after being contacted by a Google Recruiter. Very excited and got a a great overview of the entire process from the Recruiter, but things went south very quickly. My resume was "great" according to the hiring manager and I had 6 years of very relevant experience. Case questions were pretty straightforward, estimations, prioritize, etc.
The interview went south when asked about my undergrad GPA. I never went to class, but have risen quickly in my professional career and have hard skills to show it. Unfortunate that GPA is still a hiring bar to jump over even 6 years out.Interview Questions
