A majority of Americans approve of President Barack Obama's proposals for laws further restricting availability of guns and ammunition, a Gallup poll has found.
Fifty-three percent said they would want their congressional representatives to vote in favor of the president's proposals, while 41 percent said they would want their representatives to vote against them, The Hill reported Saturday.
Obama and Vice President Joe Biden Wednesday unveiled 23 executive actions the president has signed on gun safety and the president called for universal background checks on gun buyers.
The president asked Congress to restore the federal ban on military-style assault weapons and limit the size of ammunition magazines.
Gallup found 82 percent of Democrats favored the proposals while 15 percent opposed them. Seventy-two percent of Republicans polled opposed the regulations, while 22 percent approved.
"The highly partisan reaction to the proposal among rank-and-file Americans underscores what is likely to be a highly partisan political negotiation in the Senate and in the House in the weeks and months ahead," Gallup said in a statement announcing the results.
The poll, released late Friday, surveyed 1,021 adults. It was conducted Thursday, the day after Obama's announcement. It has a 4 percentage point margin of error.

Branded is a 2012 Russian-American film about the evils of advertising, though it gets that message through in a severely trippy way.Misha Galkin (Ed Stoppard) is a marketing executive working in Russia. One day, he meets the boss's daughter, Abby Gibbons (Leelee Sobieski). The two quickly hit it off despite her father's attempt to keep them apart, and Abby enlists Misha's help in a Russian plastic surgery show (an adaptation of ABC's Extreme Makeover). Meanwhile, marketing guru Joseph Pascal (Max von Sydow) works with the heads of various fast food franchises to make fat popular, and Misha and Abby wind up the scapegoats for his fear-based marketing campaign which rises from the star of their show being rendered comatose by the surgery.After his life goes downhill from there, Misha retreats from the city to the country, far from the marketing which he now believes causes harm to others. Guided by a dream, he conducts an elaborate ritual where he slaughters a red cow and bathes in its ashes. He is picked up by Abby, who wants him to meet his son. Misha then learns he's been given the power to see the living personifications of brands, being fed by the public's desire for them.It has nothing to do with the Western Series of the same name.

Ask whatever
Mike asked me to participate in his "Guests in the Witch House" series over on yog-blogsoth where he asks other artists to portray heroes from weird fiction. I chose Jirel of Joiry by C.L.Moore because I love those stories and that character; a medieval French solider who enters another dimension through a hell mouth beneath her castle. One of my favorite things about Moore's stories is the way she describes alien environments through the supernatural world view of her medieval character and creates subtly eerie haunted science fiction landscapes.
"She was tall as most men and as savage as the wildest of them, and the fall of Joiry was bitter enough to break her heart as she stood snarling curses up at her tall conqueror. The face above her mail might not have been fair in a woman's head-dress, but in the steel setting of her armor it had a biting, sword-edge beauty as keen as the flash of blades. The red hair was short upon her high defiant head, and the yellow blaze of her eyes held fury as a crucible holds fire."
Just finally read "Black God's Kiss" and this is amazing. I really appreciate she's wearing actual armor here and not...

Why is it so difficult to study a subject that you have no desire to learn about or will ever see again in the near future?
Is there a way to trick your mind into thinking it's not so bad?
With the current trend of posting your whereabouts to your friends online, applications such as Gowalla, foursquare, facebook Places, Google Latitude, and many more that are available to you, Google Hotpot and Yelp are the two that stand out—to me.
What's the Difference?
All of these apps allow for "check-ins" to spots on a map via geo-location. From their you can earn badges, pins, titles for checking in to a certain place the most, and various other miscellaneous virtual prizes to gloat to your friends about. The difference between Hotpot and Yelp is that these two services not only allow a user to check in, but they also offer the ability for the user to rate a place they were just at, and review said place. Recently, Yelp has started testing "Yelp Deals" (1-Day sales coupons for its users), something which Hotptot is not doing (yet).
Hotpot is what happens when Google Places and Google Latitude get married and have offspring. Latitude is a check-in service that shows your Google friends and various other social network friends where you are. You can ping them and have them check-in too, if they are nearby, and it [Latitude] can also show you where your friends are at via Google Maps. Places is a consumer's guide to all things local and near. It allows you to rate and/or review that restaurant you were just at. Your friends will then know which restaurants they should go to and which ones they should avoid. It's better to find out what type of place you're about to go to from your friends who have similar tastes then to accept a random 4-star rating of a stranger who didn't leave a review. Places is not limited to just restaurants, you can also rate and/or review parks, coffee shops, retail stores, and etc. If you own an Android phone guess what, it is already installed. There is no need to go to the Android Market and download. And, surprise surprise, Latitude is already installed on there too. These two applications, Places and Latitude work hand in hand. For example, let's say that you're in a new city and you want to find a restaurant to get something to eat, fire up Places, select restaurants, look at all of the available options, read the reviews, choose a spot, go their and check in with Latitude so your friends can see your where, and finally, open Places back up, and fire up Hotpot and leave a rating and a review of said restaurant and you're done.
"Hotpot is really going places: to a Google search box near you and around the world. In addition to this, Hotpot will be also available in 38 new languages as well that includes French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Chinese and Korean among others. Hotpot also comes seamless integration with Google Maps as well most especially the Google Maps on Android."
-From Google's official blog, Hotpot project manager Lior Ron
Watch this video created by Google to see a brief overview of how Hotpot works:
Yelp may not have been the first online recommendation service available to people, but it was—and quite possibly still is—the best service available. The idea of Yelp is that it helps to promote local businesses by getting users to rate and review their experiences at these places. Yelp is centered around the community at large. A local business will register with Yelp and they can advertise if they so choose, and customers will do whatever it is that is offered at these places and rate and review them, and other "Yelpers" will then see this activity and decide whether or not they should venture out to these places themselves. If you have questions about any place listed in Yelp, one thing that you can do that you can't with Hotpot, is have a conversation with the person who rated and reviewed a place. This type of interaction amongst Yelpers is (in my opinion) why Yelp got to be as big as they are today. About one year ago Yelp introduced check-ins. This is an incentives based type of offering. A Yelper will check-in to a business and—should the business be a willing participant—offer some type of reward for doing so. Even foursquare has a loyalty program for their "mayors", this type of loyalty program is not yet available with Google Latitude or Hotpot—at least not to my knowledge, if they do have a program please let me know in the comments—but I wouldn't be surprised that it's not already in the works. For this loyalty program to work, a local business needs to register with Yelp—for free I might add—and setup advertising, converse with customers, review the trends within the community, and adjust their promotions and marketing accordingly.
Decisions, Decisions
With all of the choices available how do you pick one? I have been using everything mentioned above for quite some time now and it is difficult to say which one is the best. They all their strengths and they all have their weaknesses. With anything involving Google, you have a vast amount of information at your fingertips, all you have to do is enter a search query, hit enter, and a lot of information is returned to you. With Yelp, you signup, become a member of a large community that has the same ideas and thoughts as you, and the ratings and reviews appear to be more personal than Google.
Which service do you prefer?
Twitter has been talking to Google and facebook about a possible takeover.
Not cool in my book. Twitter is fine just the way it is. Granted they don't have a very good business model when it comes to monetization.
Promoted Tweets, seriously? Apparently, that's all they have going for them at the moment.
I'm not going to get into the details of business models and how they are used to create a template (if you will) on how a company see's itself in the short run and the long run. Instead, if you click [this] you can kill the "fail whale" and take your agression out on the rumored takeover.
In the spirit of recent twitter events surrounding stalking, I have decided to "check in" to some random places today via Google Latitude. I did so because, now you can see where I've been and make an assumption as to what I was doing at those weird places. It's a little backwards I know, but it made for a fun filled Monday morning/early afternoon.
I didn't use foursquare, loopt, Gowalla or facebook places to "check in" because, well, I just never set up any of those accounts and I'm just not that into you (yes, I know, lame).
Today was just an experiment in sharing my movement in and around the city. If and when another twitter-or even facebook-event like today's occurs again, I'll be checkin' in and letting you fine people of the internets know where I'm at.
Does anyone else want to see this movie as much as I do?
This morning on my way to work I noticed a car that had vanity plates that read "DRY BSMT". As I got closer to his vehicle I noticed that something was amiss. He had a bunch of PVC piping sticking out of his window. It was raining and I laughed because of his vanity plates.
All of his paperwork was getting rained on—because I just happen to look inside as I was passing him—which made me laugh a little bit more because of the irony.
Basement Man: "We're all done here sir, if you'll just sign down at the bottom of the paper next to the "x", I'll be on my way, and you'll be on your way to a dry basement". Client: "Basement fixer man, why are your papers all wet? Why should I trust that you've done a stellar job when you can't even keep your own paperwork dry"?
It was "job security" for basement man until someone caught him in the act.
Given that conversation that played out in my head—which was funny while running through my head at the time—I now realize it's not that funny.
He was also eating a honey bun while driving, rather, he was shoving it in his face.
Enjoy a picture of a beautiful girl.
Today in another—of many—classes that I have this semester, our teacher said "long tail keywords" ~62 times in ~15 minutes. And here I thought hearing "like" or "um" every other word in a sentence was bad.
Honestly though, I don't think the prof stressed the importance of "long tail keywords" enough.
Here's a picture of a panda:
Today in my product and brand management class we had a speaker from J.M. Smucker. She was a nice person who really enjoys managing and developing new products.
I, along with most of the class find the subject unbelievably boring. I think in order to be a product and brand manager you have to love it.
I however do not.
Nothing is really inanimate is it?
I just received an email from the campus police informing me of a shooting that occurred this morning just south of the main campus. In the email they made sure to mention that the two people they "swiftly caught" (<— added for dramatic effect) weren't students at the university.
On a lighter note, the snow is finally starting to melt and I can see the grass again (sort of).
I can't wait to go to class, I'm pumped!
I am new to the world of tumblr (blogging in general) so please bear with me and be patient like the wolf in the pic. Until next time…

goombah99 writes "It happens all-too-often that the govenment and companies negligently reveal citizen's private information on their websites. When collection of this information is something required by law there is an obligation to protect it. But is privacy a 'property' and does its loss require compensation? Wired news reports 'The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Wednesday over whether the federal government should reimburse individuals whose sensitive data was disclosed illegally, even if no harm can be proven. At issue before the court, according to privacy advocates, is how valuable privacy really is.'"

Listen Here:
For many great feminists—Georgia O'Keeffe, Gertrude Stein, and Edith Wharton—creativity famously coincided with periods of sexual awakening. Could a profound connection between a woman's brain and her experience of her vagina affect her sense of creativity—even her consciousness? In Vagina: A New Biography, best-selling author Naomi Wolf (The Beauty Myth) argues that the connection is not only real (and long-overlooked) but fundamental to a woman's sense of self. Examining the science behind the sex, Wolf explores the biology of female arousal and its complexities, uncovering the neuroscience, physiology, and anecdotal evidence that show "what women really need" to awaken their full potential. Presented by Town Hall and University Book Store as part of The Seattle Science Lectures, sponsored by Microsoft. Series media sponsorship provided by KPLU.

Congress Unites to Protect Drunken Facebook Photos
Democrats and Republicans don't agree on much these days. With the partisan fights over birth control and the Violence Against Women Act, it seems like the two parties can't unite behind anything anymore.
Well, except for embarrassing Facebook photos…
Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) is drafting legislation that would ban employers from asking for their workers' Facebook passwords, his office confirmed Wednesday. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) is planning to introduce a similar measure in the Senate.
According to recent media reports, there is a growing trend of employers demanding that job applicants provide passwords to their private Facebook accounts to check for embarrassing or damaging information.
In a statement on Sunday, Sens. Blumenthal and Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) called the practice "disturbing" and said it "represents a grave intrusion into personal privacy."
Most Republicans look exactly like your evil boss, so it's surprising they've chosen not to side with employers on this issue.
In fact, it's nice to see members of opposing parties finally come together to protect the right of ordinary Americans to post scandalous half-nude keg stand photos to social media outlets. The bill doesn't have an official name yet, so we'll just call it Weiner's Law.

02 February 2009 13:18
I don't know about you but I prefer the motor car to be behind me for most of the time, because we all know and some of us too well how unpredictable the driver of such contraptions can be.
Filtering, yes we all do it, I mean why would we sit in a traffic queue when we can safely move to the front and thus reduce the risk of not being seen? If we're at the front of the traffic we can hopefully safely move off, abide by the speed limit and be on our way.
Put this scenario to a person who doesn't or has never ridden a bike and they will mostly agree, they don't want bikes taking up their precious road space, if we're in front of them they often just don't see us and if we're behind them they complain that we intimidate them; we can't win so we filter.
So, is filtering legal? what does the law have to say on this matter? I have filtered many times in full view of Police and even at the side of a patrol car, but I remember reading a while back that it was an illegal manoeuvre, and I think it was in the MCN.
I (and I'm sure lots of other riders) would be happy to be refreshed on this subject. We all know the stats regarding bikers being knocked off but how many are filtering at the time and how does this affect regarding claim and culpability?
To me it makes perfect sense and frees up the road space for other users, a kind of public service if you like, but we all know the law makes no sense.

Highway Code
states "Manoeuvering: You [the motorcyclist] should be aware of what is behind and to the sides before manoeuvering. Look behind you; use mirrors if they are fitted. When overtaking traffic queues look out for pedestrians crossing between vehicles and vehicles emerging from junctions." Doubtless the anti-bike movement will begin campaigning against this in the next few months though.
05 April 2009 14:33
A bit close to the bone this subject as I was knocked off my bike whilst filtering:
A pedestrian walked out between stationary traffic without looking and brought us both down. I was going steady at about 15 miles per hour so was not unduly hurt, but the ped and me and witnesses were interviewed by police at the hospital. Without me asking, the Police officer said that I was not in the wrong and perfectly legal to be filtering in those circumstances, so there we have it.
FILTERING IS LEGAL, however, as a precaution I try to treat the situation the same as other overtaking manouvres by indicating etc and making sure there is a space for me to drop into between the cars before the oncoming traffic is too near. I have found that this doesn't annoy other road-users unless they are particularly jealous types who swerve out to try to stop you passing.Those idiots just need to get a life or a bike.
From a compensation point of view my solicitor at White Dalton (I can reccomend them) is in the process of chasing up damages.I was initially told by hear say that this was not possible due to Pedestrians having no insurance as such, but if the same happens to you pursue it anyway if your solicitor feels you have a strong case, because if they have house insurance that may cover a claim against them, failing that if they are employed or own assets( a car for instance), charges could be made against that through the courts.
The general public need to be made aware that filtering is perfectly ok because I am sure some think we are acting against the law when we do it.
Perhaps it is time for cyclists and peds. to be insured incase they do cause accidents?
04 February 2009 13:42
Bearing in mind that the Met and Essex police running the BikeSafe programme encourange you and show you how to do it safely I think it's probably fine. Have filtered past police with no issues many a time and know that the few coppers I know happily do it too.
I think I saw a Corporation / City of London leaflet encouraging it a few months ago. Although that might be a dream. Not sure.
03 February 2009 15:41
It is legal, as in there's no specific law against it - although it is illegal to overtake the lead vehicle at a crossing within the zig-zag lines. You are expected to pull in behind the lead vehicle and overtake once out of the zig-zag area...
The issue only really becomes a problem if there's a crash. And then it's quite often down to how good your solicitor and insurance company are and if there were any witnesses etc. If your giving it the beans and have been weaving in and out like a twat for the past few miles and then get taken out by some numpty not indicating or looking your more likely to get witness statements saying it was your fault. If you've been filtering considerately and carefully then it's more likely to go in your favour. A lot of it's down to perception.
03 February 2009 09:53
It's a bit of a grey area. Since it's a form of overtaking, it's kind of permitted, but in the main it's covered by previous judgements.
Most lawyers are familiar with rulings that held initially a 80/20 blame in favour of the car driver when they hit a filtering rider, and a later ruling that adjusted the blame to 50/50. This is still rather unfavourable for a filtering rider.
However, there was a 2006 Court of Appeal ruling (Davis vs someone - can't remember), which concluded that the rider cannot be held at fault if they had no opportunity to take evasive action - so if a car turns straight into you without signalling or the like, then this ruling (whose guidance has to be considered definitive in any lower court as I understand things), which should mean that SO LONG AS YOUR REPRESENTATIVE IS AWARE OF THIS RULING RATHER THAN JUST THE EARLIER ONES (sorry for 'shouting'), you should have a good case for not being blamed for the accident just because you were filtering.
As far as police stopping you goes, I think most riders routinely filter past police vehicles, just making sure they're not going anything reckless.

Join us as producers Lauren McLemore and Brittany Henry dive deep into the game to demonstrate how you can change the future! Your present-day Sims will have the power to alter the future of Oasis Landing to introduce new stories and surprises - will your Sims strive to create an ultra-utopian society or a world of chaos? You won't want to miss this fun-filled show wholly devoted to showing you all-new gameplay of The Sims 3 Into the Future. Invite your friends and follow along with us on Twitter using #TheSimsLB. See you here! http://www.thesims.com/en-us/broadcast
I hope the alarm going off was a glitch and not because of an actual emergency and that everyone is fine. Update: Everyone is fine and it was business as usual… on the lawn.

- This photograph of the Shir Dar Madrasah in Samarkand (Uzbekistan) is from the archeological part of Turkestan Album. The six-volume photographic survey was produced in 1871-72 under the patronage of General Konstantin P. von Kaufman, the first governor-general (1867-82) of Turkestan, as the Russian Empire's Central Asian territories were called. The album devotes special attention to Samarkand's Islamic architecture, such as 14th- and 15th-century monuments from the reign of Timur (Tamerlane) and his successors. In the center of Samarkand is the Registan ensemble, composed of three major examples of a madrasah (religious school). The earliest Registan madrasah was built in 1417-20, by the scholar-king Ulugh Beg, grandson of Timur. The second madrasah in the ensemble, the Shir Dar, was built in 1619-36, during the Astrakhanid dynasty. Despite significant damage over the centuries, it remains one of the most lavishly decorated monuments in Central Asia. This view shows carved white marble blocks on the lower part of the right (south) wall of the arched niche that frames the entrance. It is known as the "small niche" because of its location within the center of the much larger iwan (vaulted hall, walled on three sides, with one end open). The carved cursive inscription rests on receding rows of a "stalactite" form of dentilation. Above the inscription are traces of ceramic ornamentation in a botanical pattern.

A little early for a romantic Valentine's Day post, but what the heck?
Solid marriage proposal from the Rays' Alex Cobb. Give him an 8.5 for creativity, and an 8.7 for execution. Any time you can get an animal to cooperate, that has to be worth an extra difficulty point.
Even the Russian judge was impressed. And you know how hard it is to impress those Russian judges.
The girlfriend was clearly impressed.
Good work Alex Cobb. You have mad marriage proposal game. No one can question that.
You have to kind of wonder what the dolphin was thinking though. Did it have any inkling what was going on?
Do dolphins have marriage proposals? Does the boy dolphin go up to the girl dolphin with a fish in his mouth all like, "Hey here's a fish. Let's be mates now."
Probably not.

Griffin's characters are well developed, the narrative complex and the dialogue skillfully written in this suspenseful romance. The supporting characters are also nicely crafted, and the setting is believably drawn.
Celie Wells has been through a lot of trauma in her 31 years. Divorced from a drug addict, she is in the unenviable position of dealing with the mess he's left behind. Crime reporter John McAllister catches Celie's attention, but her biggest dream is to help battered women and children and to someday have a baby of her own. But if John doesn't help her out of the dangerous situation she's in, Celie won't be alive to fight for that dream or the happily ever after John hopes they can share.

Detroit Tigers' Andy Dirks to begin rehab assignment today at Single-A Lakeland - Brian Manzullo, Detroit Free Press
Andy Dirks' return to the Detroit Tigers might not be far too far off.
The lefty outfielder, who's been out all season recovering from lower back surgery in March, is slated to begin a rehab assignment today at Single-A Lakeland, the Tigers announced today.
While no one would argue that Andy Dirks is a Gold Glove caliber outfielder, the Tigers and their fans sure have grown an appreciation of his talents in his absence. Of course, when Dirks is activated, someone will have to go, and depending on who you ask, any of the current rotating outfielders(save for Austin Jackson) could be on the chopping block. While many clamor for Torii Hunter to be sent down, the most likely candidate is Don Kelly.
Dodgers-Tigers: World Series preview? - David Schoenfield, ESPN.com
The Los Angeles Dodgers and Detroit Tigers play an intriguing two-game series Tuesday and Wednesday in Detroit, with Hyun-Jin Ryu versus Justin Verlander on Tuesday and Zack Greinke versus Max Scherzer on Wednesday afternoon. The clubs split a two-game series in the second week of the season, with both games going 10 innings.
Is this a World Series preview? Well, it obviously has World Series potential. Based on the playoff odds from FanGraphs that we use at ESPN.com, however, neither team is quite the favorite in its league to advance to the World Series.
According to the bookies in Vegas, we very well could be seeing a preview of this season's October Classic. The Tigers and Dodgers split the two game series in LA earlier this season, and while it would prove nothing to take both games from LA now, it certainly would make the fans very happy.
Detroit Tigers aren't most balanced team in AL, but pitching can overcome – Shawn Windsor, Detroit Free Press
A team's trajectory matters in baseball, mostly because hitting can be contagious. You catch a team swinging the bats, you're gonna lose, just as the Tigers did this past weekend.
Former Detroit Tigers skipper Jim Leyland used to say the timing of when you played a team was as important as who you played.
We saw that unfold the past few weeks as the Tigers pummeled a slumping Rangers squad, then got pounded by a Rays team breaking from its slump — whether Tampa Bay's spike is temporary doesn't matter.
This partly explains the streaky nature of this team, but not entirely. It's still about starting pitching.
Starting pitching always wins. It wins in April and it wins in October. So yes, the Tigers' may lack balance, but if the starters can all get it, and keep it together, then look out.

These Friendship Epic poems are examples of Epic poems about Friendship. These are the best examples of Friendship Epic poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
In this world of Uncertainties
I'm the man that you can trust
And in my words of sincerity
That my love would never last.
And if you could only feel, what i feel for you
You can ask me "why?" so you can see the truth
Like our love that tightens the rope,
Like a light that would give us hope.
As you watch the dark skies
Let me grab the moon for you,
And as I catch the bright stars
That's the way you can see me through
As this planet turns as it always will
And things go wrong and you don't know what to feel
Hold my hand for it will make us strong
Like a wind, we will carry on
The wind blow that sings a hymn for you
For they know what does love means for the two
Love is blind, and not deaf
So how's success if you're not ready to bet?
In this poem with full of rhymes,
A full of love, Babe can you be mine?
I don't expect too much from you
Why should I? If you complete my whole.
"Till death do us part" that's what they have said
But why do struggles crash them ahead?
Don't ask me when my love will last,
To count all of our quarrels, is that a must?
Now and Forever is all that I promise
No day dreaming and without reminiscence
As the matter of time, as the time passes by
Together we stand, together you and I
A poem for my Girlfriend for our anniversary :)

as my guideline that I shall follow
happily, ungrudgingly and tirelessly
for the sake of our love life.
Indeed l am well aware of the fact that

I shall stand by and with you in all the
situations of our life.
If the situation demands that we sail,
sail we shall together.
If the situation demands that we
climb we shall together.

I am getting into a marriage that is
overflowing with blessings.
This marriage- with our mutual
will stand the test of time.
I know very well what I am getting into:

I pledge to be your steward and partner
for all times.

and decisions that we make as
husband and wife.
As head of the family I shall do nothing
to derail our love train for anything else
least of all for personal and selfish reasons.

This pledge that l, Nothando, make today serves

of the king of my heart.
On my mind it is always fresh
that I am the flesh of your flesh.
Green or grown
I am the bone of your bone.
I know very well what I am getting into:
I am getting into a relationship that
elevates me into a kingdom of wifehood.
I shall endevour to put my family first
with all the rights, obligations
and privileges that come with wifehood.
I shall endevour to wipe off and ward off
loneliness and lostness from our relationship,
seeking nothing but your companionship;
banking on your stewardship,
sinking together any hardship.
Since you are mine
I shall not do anything else to undermine
our relationship for personal
or egotistical
Now and forever
I am your lawful and loving wife…

The sweetest sounds of burning trees
A gentle stroking in the breeze
The calm has lasted past the storm
Cloudy visions, Satan's roar
Too many sights have passed my way
A time found only in the haze
The softest screams are running bare
My aching bones creak as I stare
You walk a distance towards me
The fall's eternal, can't you see?
I'm a memory in your heart
I whisper to you in the dark
The battle's started at the end
No one is coming to repent
The sinners grab their wine from prey
No judgment calling here to stay
The sport is reckless to be told
The one is laughing at his souls
It falters nowhere to be sure
The power grows forevermore
Like a spirit in the wind
I have no say in where you've been
But cross the line to come to me
And pay the price for ecstasy
You walk a distance towards me
The fall's eternal, can't you see?
I'm a memory in your heart
I whisper to you in the dark.

Part 1 of 2
When I was just a little girl, I dreamed I'd meet a knight.
He'd proudly wear his shining armor, and guard me day and night.
I kept on dreaming half my life and searched as I grew.
Until I found my knight one day, I found my knight in you!
Before our paths crossed that day, my struggles had been great.
But when I laid my eyes upon you, I thought it must be fate.
You gently got to know me and embraced me as a friend.
And as our friendship grew in time, we knew it wouldn't end.
As our lives were set in motion, we climbed mountains and sailed seas.
And as we've shared our lives together, we've blended with such ease.
Our friendship grew as years passed by into such an enduring love.
This thing we have together now was blessed from God above!
I know we both have said it. We feel it in our souls.
We've devoted our lives to each other, and together we'll grow old.
The love we share is very rare, and should be held with high esteem.
For some may only find this kind, only in their dreams.
This is what God planned for us, to live here on this land.
To be the best we both can be, walking through it hand in hand.
Even when our roads seem rough, we must have a faith that lasts.
We'll smile as we share many today's, and reflect gladly on our past.
I hope I've touched your life my love, as much as you've touched mine.
For this is the love I've always dreamed of, a love both gentle and kind.
I believe we meet our "soul mate" only once in our lives.
This blessing from God has come to us, I'm proud to be your wife.
With all this said my poem will end.
A poem for my love, who is also my friend!
I want to thank you with all that I am,
For showing me Darling, the true love of a man!
With all my love, Michelle
Merry Christmas – December 2006©
We will never forget exactly where we were,
We will never forget exactly what we were doing,
We could never forget the loss we felt – 9/11/01.
We saw the birth of amazing heroes,
We mourned with the grief of thousands,
We marveled at the strength of the human spirit.
It was the day we held our children more closely,
It was the day the American Family was reborn,
And the day we became "One Nation, Under God."
We heard those resounding words, "A plane hit the tower",
We watched in disbelief as the second tower fell to earth,
And we heard the most heroic of words, "Let's Roll!"
There were so many lessons that we learned,
There are so many memories to be held dear,
There was "Old Glory" – still standing to give us hope.
Firemen, Policemen, Clergy and Civilians-
Were taken from us in a few fleeting moments,
We saw a flight of angels, and an Eagle cry.
We became the strongest and most formidable of enemies,
The most united in spirit and purpose in decades,
We were filled with renewed honor and pride.
Yes, we lost the very innocence of our being,
We lost the complacency of everyday routine,
But yet we gained so much more.
For now we know the true meaning of so many, many words –
"Indivisible", "In God We Trust", "United We Stand"
and the most important of all -
"Greater Love Hath No Man Than This"…
Congratulations our pageant queen:
Days and nights you nurtured nicety
Like florist watching bud to petal;
You starved yourself amidst abundance
Nursing the shape , keeping the fitness;
Today all eyes are forgotten on you,
King and Queen's mouths in agape;
All craning out necks on their toes
To have a glimpse of the newest queen:
Emma, Emma, Emma rends the air.
Contest's name : ''Emma''
Sponsor : Juli Michelle.
Exquisite the ravel of his comforting quilt
a pondering notion of wisdom is felt
I take a sip of his lovely red wine,
Dr. Rams words are better than gold..........simply divine
susurrus hymns of love at times
or perhaps lissome words in flowing lines
silently I sit as his words come to life,
Dr. Rams words are better than gold...........simply divine
o' the words that linger, perhaps burn inside
his heritage, his love, his grand design
I fall in dream into his domain of time,
Dr. Rams words are better than gold..........simply divine
a song of one soul
a dance for all, profound
a story unraveling with pages alive
Dr. Rams words are better than gold.......... simply divine
Bravery is the father of fears
Dreams are distant cousins of nightmares
Hope is the sister of prayers
Every night shame lays down and gets screwed by despair
Pollution abuses Mrs. atmosphere
It's a battle between personality and reality
But obviously nobody cares
Maybe it's because big tough is the uncle of little scared
Planning is deeply in love with prepared
Procrastination is the biggest enemy of determination
Ignorance is jealous of realization
Sometimes strength can get sneak attacked by temptation
Silence can never defeat a great proclamation
When the brain disagrees with the heart
The body dies of complications
Love your self...

How would you avoid too many felicitations, when forced with love...?

Felicitations packed with love and affections should never be avoided but can be attempted to minimise the feliciations to certain extent.After all love-charged programmes are deeply rooted in the emotions so they be not neglected and these're neglected, the organisers naturally feel greatly heart-broken.Answered by apsaikia, 13 Apr '13 06:05 pm

There is a picture of Obama standing next to Pope Francis that is rather interesting. Obama has a huge grin on his face...the kind he gets when he is embarrassed. We´ve seen it before, it´s the nervous giggle grin he gets when he realizes his mom jeans are baggy. Pope Francis has a stern look on his face. I think Obama finally realized that he´s not king of the world. Jesus is and the pope let him know it.
