These Goodbye Mother poems are examples of Mother poems about Goodbye. These are the best examples of Goodbye Mother poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
Teenage Girls clad in the latest fashions,
Do it whenever they meet,
Grown men aren't afraid to show some passion,
When their team's comeback is complete,
They can say hello, they can say goodbye,
And anything inbetween,
If you open your arms and crack a smile,
There is nothing that a hug cannot mean.
There's not much to say.
I knew her, know some things,
but certainly not all.
I know how little she put up with fools,
how her cooking surpassed so many others',
how simultaneously sweet and hard she could be.
I know about her smoking,
about her jewelry, her faith,
all these I'll hold close to me.
Every single spark, every star,
shines with such a glow, such a marvelous radiance,
that we can't gaze too closely at it,
lest we cause ourselves pain.
And yet, despite ourselves, again and again,
we do;
because it's not within us to resist
the sheer beauty of it all,
of stories and of life.
A bouquet of tulips for you.
We all miss you already, Grandma.
I miss you.
I know Heaven's got you, taking no guff as always,
making sure we're all doing alright.
I love you.
Andrew James (McGillicutty) Sprouse
This is for my grandma. She only has a few more weeks and I can't find any other way to put my feelings than this.
Heaven wants another angel tonight.
You feel that you lost, but you won this fight.
No pain or sorrow can keep you apart,
From what we think is the end but is really just the start.
I'll miss you but let your heart be free.
The shadow of your presence I'll feel in my sleep.
You'll spend some time in a world above the sky,
While I'm the ground hearing echoes of goodbyes.
But we'll meet again so soon,
I'll see you in the light of the moon.
We'll tell each other stories forever,
About the marvelous things we saw in the times not together.
I know heaven won't wait for goodbyes,
But I love you,
And for now this is mine.
written 28th oct 2012
You were never seen by us, that privilege sadly was not for us
an extravagance we were overwhelmed by, the thought of your embrace
The entire twelve weeks you were a joy to have known, even 'without' being seen
hearing about you're arrival, was a blessing at the time you were conceived
For life hadn't been easy and we had all asked God, we even plea'd
We wait upon the day, you will finally meet us
having the honour to love and learn with you, saddly not for us
It brakes my heart as you part, you had already embeded love into my heart
Just knowing we will now...forever be kept apart
God has other plans for your love that's so strong, blessing us from the start
we continually pray, maybe he'll deside to let you stay around
But the intense pain of tears and loss, are constantly falling all around
just let it be known, we all desperately wanted you to become part of us
We all will love you for eternity, you are now forever one of us,
although it was only for a very slight second, it was better than never
You are from this day on, embedded into our hearts forever...
the impact you have left 'unborn young one'' my beloved grandchild....
"Angel" 2012
You do not stand alone in your Battle
Your battle is our Battle
We may not be there in body
But we are there with you in Spirit
We are there in every beat of your Heart
In every whisper of the wind
In every thought and every touch
Every breath and every sound
We are there with you
You are wrapped in an Endless chain of Love
In every link we each send you a part of us
We send you some of our Strength
Some of our will to Fight
Some of our Courage
The most important of them all
We send you all of our Love
If you feel you need more
Just give that Endless chain a little tug
And we'll be there
Tug til you need us no more
Then we'll know you've gone Home
5/09/2014 Dedicated to my Aunt Nini, Wilma Thomas Gamble for Mother's Day. Sadly she lost her Battle w/ Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer on 5/30/2014.
I'd never want to relive the day.
I'd never want to relive the day
I left my mum, I turned away
And came here to Australia
From England oh, so very far
She cried and cried to see me go
If I'd be back she did not know
Just sixty pound I had on me
Mum never knew just what would be
What else really, could I do?
I'd wed a girl I loved so true
She was from the land of Oz
And with her family her heart was
I'd never want to relive that day
I broke mums heart in such a way
But that's the way it had to be
Though it caused mum so much misery.
20 December 2013 @ 1730hrs.
The Women
(for the countless women, names unknown, who bore the brunt of Apartheid, and who fought the racist system at great cost to themselves and their families, and for my mother, Zubeida Moolla)
Pregnant, your husband on the run,
your daughter, a child, a few years old,
they hauled you in, these brutish men,
into the bowels of Apartheid's racist hell.
They wanted information, you gave them nothing,
these savage men, who skin happened to be lighter,
and white was right in South Africa back then,
but, you did not cower, you stood resolute,
you, my mother, faced them down, their power,
their 'racial superiority', their taunts, their threats.
You, my mother, would not, could not break,
You stood firm, you stood tall.
You, like the countless mothers did not break, did not fall.
You told me many things, of the pains, the struggles,
the scraping for scraps, the desolation of separation
from your beloved Tasneem and your beloved Azad,
my elder sister and brother, whom I could not grow
up with, your beloved children separated by time, by place,
by monstrous Apartheid, by brutish men,
whose skin just happened to be lighter.
You told me many things, as I grew older,
of the years in exile, of the winters that grew ever colder.
You were a fighter, for a just cause,
like countless other South African women,
you sacrificed much, you suffered the pangs,
of memories that cut into your bone, your marrow,
you resisted a system, an ideology, brutal and callous and narrow.
Yes, you lived to see freedom arrive, yet you suffered still,
a family torn apart, and struggling to rebuild a life,
all the while, nursing a void, that nothing could ever fill.
I salute you, mother, as I salute the nameless mothers,
the countless sisters, daughters, women of this land,
who fought, sacrificing it all for taking a moral stand.
I salute you, my mother, and though you have passed,
your body interred in your beloved South African soil,
you shall remain, within me, an ever-present reminder,
of the cost of freedom, the struggles, the hunger, the toil.
I salute you!
(for the brave women of South Africa, of all colours,
who fought against racial discrimination and Apartheid)
The Old Salt was a special man who came along in a time
when he was needed most.
A time that is now gone forever.
When men believed and sacrificed, when hero's walked the earth in mass.
When patriotism was not just a word
by what men lived and judged the worth of each,
a man who lived a life most of us cannot comprehend.
An era now gone as this warriors tour of duty ends at this station,
and begins anew in the heavenly fleet.
Sail on Sailor into your unaccompanied tour,
we salute you.
What greater honor, that when a man moves forward,
he leaves behind in each of us the best of what he was.
A defender, protector, supporter, victor, a warrior,
the last of the breed from an era when ships were made of wood
and men were made of steel.
The Old Salt has reported for duty that takes him away from us for now.
Those of us who remain behind,
remember, and will continue to remember,
because he now resides forever in our hearts.
As I look up at night, I envision The Old Salt,
a beret draped just above the eye,
as he draws upon his pipe,
quietly he waits.
The guardian of heaven's gate.
A serpent underneath blue sky,
in shade of man, in twinkle of an eye,
above brick wall, in the structure, at the floor,
venom of white dove; contaminated food, undrinkable water,
misguided youth, pregnant daughter, unfaithful father and hateful son,
mothers do pray while we walk through Babylon;
on teli and in the press, on top shells,
price none the less, in bedroom and at your door..
dawn of a new day seemed to be dark,
after all.
I cannot get into heaven
God I have tried!
Suicide is a double edge sword
Especially when you survive!
Walking the streets at night
Dazed and confused
Longing to be loved
When is Mum, coming for me?
"Does she still love me?"
"Does she still care?"
"Does she still think of me?"
"Does she wonder, where I am?"
I want her to come find me
I want her to say she 'loves me'
I want her to comfort me
I want her to take me home
And keep me safe
And not forget hat I exist
Like the way she treats me now
I wish God
Could make my Mum
Magically appear
Making this hellish nightmare
On the street
"Send my Mum please!"
So, all this can end!
Before this last ray of hope
Diminishes for good!
I don't want to become
The walking dead
Forever forgotten as if
I was never born!
For this is the cruel, harsh reality
Of living life, feeling unloved
Uncared for, abandoned,
Left to fend for my own
A dangerous killer inside me
Eating away, at my soul
Something, no one can see
As I suffer in silence
My insides crippling!
Lost, alone and frightened
Weeping on a dirty
Graffiti park bench
Dirty tears
Rolling down my cheeks
Stuffing newspapers under my jumper
To keep myself warm
"What am I going to do?"
"Will I make it through the night?"
"Will I get raped and beaten?"
"Will I be left for dead?"
"Will I survive
To see another day?
"Is my life worth living?"
Please God, I beg of you
Have mercy now
Please show me the way!

5.0 / 5.0
My 1st ordering from Home D on-line. Shipped on schedule, works great. No problems and looks great too. Home Depot was the best price I found. Many other stores did not have type of heater I needed, but Home Depot has it.
5.0 / 5.0
I installed this heater in our bathroom and quickly warms up the place. I like the timer feature. It saves $$$ since it will shut down after 60 min. For those with kids this feature is very convenient.
5.0 / 5.0
The unit is great for what the bathroom needs for heat the extra cycle comes in handy for drying
4.0 / 5.0
Didn't work with decor of room. Product was as described and good quality, but returned due to color mismatch to room.
2.0 / 5.0
I bought this unit to use in the bathroom and wanted the timer feature so it would shut itself off automatically. But the timer does NOT shut off the heat -- it just overrides the thermostat to provide MORE heat than the thermostat calls for. There is NO way to shut this off other than turning down the thermostat. We ended up wiring this unit through an external timer switch and disabling the one on the heater. We would have been better off to buy a cheaper one without a built-in timer.
4.0 / 5.0
it works great keeps me extremely warm at work in the cold environment love this product
4.0 / 5.0
It was very difficult to find a bathroom heater that would work in the application needed. Very easy to install and directions to convert to 110 voltage were very easy to understand. The over heater works well for my small bathroom. I would have preferred an on and off switch and not a timer. A real pain if you just want to turn it off.
4.0 / 5.0
The product appears to be solidly made and the fit and finish are fine. It is not overly stylish, the design is somewhat old school.We hooked it up in the 110V configuration and as such it is perfectly adequate to heat a small bathroom (

10.3: Split routing with PPTP in Panther
All the solutions I've seen, including this one and the one referred to above don't cope well if the other end changes any parameters. As a result, I prefer this version.
However, this suffers from the need to add the routing for your VPN network manually, which is a real bore. Thanks to this tip, I can now get ip-up working correctly. Previously, the script would run but somehow the route changes would be forgotten. Now they are remembered.
So, personally, I would recommend the hint I've listed above and then create an ip-up script as shown but with your own parameters in.

This is my first burdastyle project. I have added some darts in the front for a better fit. They turned out a bit too long and are nearly touching the bust darts. I also have to learn how to fit an invisible zip…

I love this dress and would like to make it for myself, but am 49 and wonder if the style is too young for me. I would make it a little longer, can I ask your opinion?
Dec 22, 2011, 10.41 AMby piccolo76
Hi Jenny,
Thank you for your message. Why not try it? I found lately that I am wearing a lot of things I thought were not my style and I feel great in it!
Best of luck!
Oct 7, 2010, 11.18 PMby Kristin Griffin
Very nice! I especially like the added length.

looks great! The fabric is great. The zipper looks good in the photo. But if it helps… i found that my machine (an older Kenmore) refuses to work with invisible zipper feet. My regular zipper foot actually works best for invisible zippers… just takes a lot of basting and going slow.
Mar 16, 2010, 01.50 PMby norskie
Well, I think it looks real cute on you. The zipper looks good on the pics. Your material usage sounds like something I could have come up with! Good job.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. A free hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle, though? It may become a possibility in Japan, says Automotive News.
We know the Japanese government is being plenty supportive of hydrogen vehicles since it will provide about $20,000 worth of incentives to prospective customers of the $69,000 vehicle. And with local governments like Toyota City's Aichi prefecture supplying another $10,000, out of pocket costs could reach less than $40,000 for the Toyota hydrogen car. We don't know for sure that the 'free' H2 car will happen, but with Toyota starting sales of its first production FCV next spring (potentially named Mirai), it could happen. That would also spell good news for Honda, which will follow up Toyota's effort for its own hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle.
The case for the free car is still pretty tenuous. Automotive News, citing the Nihon Keizai business publication, reports that the Japanese government has thrown around the idea of subsidizing the vehicles outright to early adopters just to gain some momentum for this kind of zero-emissions vehicles. Heck, the government would even throw in free fuel for good measure. We'll see about that. To see some of the official hydrogen excitement, click here for a video of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe taking a Toyota fuel cell vehicle for a brisk test drive.

Topics: Quality, Health Costs, Delivery of Care
Mar 16, 2010
The Wall Street Journal: "Errors made by doctors, nurses and other medical caregivers cause 44,000 to 98,000 deaths a year. Hospital infections, many considered preventable, take another 100,000 lives. ... Hospitals are taking what might seem like a surprising approach to confronting the problem: Not only are they trying to improve safety and reduce malpractice claims, they're also coming up with procedures for handling—and even consoling—staffers who make inadvertent mistakes." "The National Quality Forum, a government-advisory body that sets voluntary safety standards for hospitals, has developed a Care of the Caregiver standard, calling on hospitals to treat traumatized staffers involved in errors as patients requiring care, then involving them in the investigation of what went wrong if their behavior was not found to be reckless or intentional. ... Safety advocates and nursing groups also question the use of criminal charges brought against nurses and doctors who make unintentional mistakes, saying they set a chilling precedent" (Landro, 3/16).
The Los Angeles Times reports on California's program to keep track of errors in hospitals: "The mistakes are referred to as 'never events' because they are avoidable, and should 'never' happen. Among the most common errors were bed sores acquired after hospital admission (1,036), retention of a foreign object in a patient (198), death associated with a fall (42) and death during or up to 24 hours after surgery (41). The state began requiring hospitals to report certain preventable errors in 2007. Patient advocates argue that such errors increase the cost of healthcare for all Californians. ..." "However, hospitals say that not all the mistakes reported to the state are their fault, and that a final review will determine that some of them are non-hospital related. Of 1,224 errors reported in the year before last, investigators eventually faulted hospitals for 480 of them" (Hennessy-Fiske, 3/15). Meanwhile, The Des Moines Register reports "[t]he Iowa Hospital Association is objecting to attempts to have a state agency collect and publish information about the quality of services performed by hospitals and other health care providers. Association Vice President Greg Boattenhamer told legislators Monday that the state doesn't need to force the issue because his group is cooperating with voluntary efforts to share such information. ... Consumer advocates have pushed for mandatory disclosure of health care quality data, including infection rates at hospitals. They say such publication, already provided in some other states, would add pressure for improvements in patient safety and quality of care" (Leys, 3/16).

After seven days of listening and looking
Seven days of listening and looking: loosely organized thoughts after a week of voracious art tourism in New York City, 6-12 August 2013
Right off the bat I'd like to invite you all to chime in and tell me what you think I got wrong or right. I'd also like to say this is by no means a complete representation of my entire thought process about anything, and I could easily go on and on and on and zzzzz….. to expand on these points. Lastly I'd like to say it also represents no sort of art manifesto, something to which I am manifestly allergic.

In response to:
I've seen some of the trolls who post on pro-life web sites about how proud they are of their promiscuity and abortions. I definitely agree.

I wonder if those aborted children would be as proud of their mothers as their mothers are of the "choices" they've made.
That question was posed in response to a new report from WORLD on Campus about the pornification of American universities. According to WORLD, self-styled "porn scholars" in fields ranging from literature to law "believe in immersing their students in the porn culture. Last year, 50 schools offered courses that included in-depth pornography content."
Students and their parents—many of whom take out massive loans or a second mortgage to cover outrageously inflated tuition—might "be surprised to learn they are paying…to watch, digest and learn to appreciate pornography in college."
As someone three years out of college, the salacious details...

selection of outlets in Glasgow's Style Mile with malls,

September 1, 2012
MCI Super Remover is a new cleaner for removing rust, scale and hardened concrete residue from equipment surfaces that can replace muriatic, phosphoric and nitric acid cleaners. The phosphate-free MCI Super Remover uses low-pH organic salt to replace traditional mineral and organic acids. The product is biodegradable and is approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a non-food inert ingredient in biocide applications, the company says. MCI Super Remover is non-fuming and contains no VOCs (volatile organic compounds), so it is safer both for the environment and for humans than the caustic cleaners it replaces, the company notes. It is designed to cause no damage to uncoated glass surfaces, fiberglass and rubber, as well surfaces coated with aliphatic urethane paint. It is suitable for cleaning drum mixers, construction equipment, batching plant equipment, water treatment facilities and others. — Cortec Corp., St. Paul, Minn.

Why. Please tell me why our local tax dollars are being used to purchase these overgrown speedometers on wheels?
Just the other day in my fair suburban town, I noticed yet another one of these beacons of "safety spending" standing on the side of a major thoroughfare which I travel at least 5 days a week. Yes, yes I know. Driving fast (women who put makeup on while driving and cell phones are probably higher) is the cause of most accidents and we should all be more aware of our speed. No agrument here. But do we really need to have it broadcasted in neon lights on the side of the road? I don't know about you but I usually know how fast I drive. Why? BECAUSE I KNOW WHERE MY FREAKING DASHBOARD SPEEDOMETER IS!
So why do I need to have my speed flashed up on an overgrown LiteBright on wheels when all I need to do is look down over the steering wheel?
What. Like this huge speedometer-on-a-trailer is going to be a huge speed deterant? Seriously, how many of you upon noticing the police speed trailer slam the petal to the floor to see how fast you can get it to register before you pass it? If anything, these police speed trailers turn roads into glorified carnival attractions. Instead of paying a dollar to a carnie to see how fast you can throw a baseball into a bunch of metal milk bottles, your testing your car's upper velocity limit on a 200 foot stretch of side street. Hell, it might as well say "Go ahead a punch it!"
Now I'm all about safety. I run into too many people daily who think the word: "School Zone" is code for "Indy 500". The last thing I want to see happen is someone killed by a jackass speeding.
Still, unless there is a cop with a radar gun on the otherside of the speed trailer, don't look for me to pay too much attention to these things. And, not that I would, but if I go too fast, I have my own little notification system and its far more effective. MY WIFE!

One of my daily responsibilities as an HRB Intern is to manage our brand via social media. For me, it's something that I generally enjoy and find interesting. Still, I struggle with planning and accounting for the time it takes to read, listen, post, respond and manage our online communities.
For the past four months I've been allotting about half an hour of time each day to handling my social media marketing responsibilities and another half hour to read my Google Reader® subscriptions and other online news. Is this enough? Some days, yes; other days, no. While being aware of time makes me more efficient, I'm worried that I'm not paying enough attention to HRB's audience, that I'm spending too much time "socializing" without addressing their questions, concerns and suggestions.
Our Senior Strategist for our Growth Division, Dave Aeschliman, likes to remind me that the actions we take to promote our brand and our clients both online and in the real world should eventually translate into profits. He actually gave a speech on this idea titled "The Cancers of the Profit" that I often find myself thinking about when I write a blog or post a Twitter update. How can my social media actions drive business? Do they already? What can I do to be more efficient as an employee, intern and consultant? What should I be reading, following and learning to stay on top of social media and business trends?
I think it's important that anyone who manages an online community recognizes the value and power of building relationships that result in profits. If someone posts a comment on your Facebook page, how quickly are you responding to it? If it's a negative customer service comment, have you set up a method for addressing it and taking the conversation offline? If you're spending too much time posting updates and you're not receiving any responses, what are you doing wrong? Step back and assess your situation every once in a while. Consult with your supervisor or someone outside of your department who might be able to offer you fresh ideas and strategies for reaching your company's goals, promoting your services and ultimately driving business.
It's easy to get distracted, lose track of time and forget about your true purpose as a social media marketer while you're scoping out the latest trends online. Just be mindful of how much time and resources you're investing in this task. Stay focused and be mindful of company resources.
For instance, we often remind clients that social media marketing is not free. Companies need to remember that the human capital needed to manage a smart social media presence can be quite cumbersome at times. What if it is taking the employee off of other initiatives? This is when we see businesses hiring companies such as HRB. So, if the work getting is too burdensome or you're feeling overwhelmed, ask for help.
Your team members (internal and external) are there to help you learn and grow, and the combination of everyone's ideas may even expose a new perspective that could skyrocket your brand to a whole new level.

text: We've just gotten official word that the Captivate — AT&T's rendition of Samsung's global Galaxy S line of high-end Android phones — will be available starting Sunday, July 18 for $199 on contract with no rebate required. That pricing is more or less what we'd expected considering that T-Mobile priced the Vibrant the same way — and if rumors of T-Mobile's launch date bump are true, the Captivate won't be the first kid on the block. Still, all four US nationals are getting this thing pretty shortly, which is an extremely impressive Android coup for the boys and girls over at Sammy. Stay tuned for a review just as soon as we can make it happen.


text: 58 notes Posted 9, December, 2011 Well. Tonight was unexpectedly wonderful!I decided to go on an adventure; find the Grindcore House and see if I could somehow get any tickets to Laura's show there. The Grindcore House is a really nice little cafe. The workers were very friendly, but said that the show was definitely sold out. I was a bit bummed, but I really liked the place so I got something to drink and sat around to draw for awhile.Long story short, Laura came in about 2 hours before her show started to get some coffee. I (eventually) got up the courage to talk to her. I thanked her for her music. I told her that it made me a stronger person. I'm so glad I got the chance to say that to her; I've wanted to for a long time.She was absolutely lovely; quiet but not at all off-putting; we ended up chatting for a bit before I had to leave so the staff could set up for the show. And this is what she wrote in my Moleskine notebook - somehow making me love her even more. #grindcore house #laura marling #philadelphia

O'Neal's Tavern is coming back to Anderson Township.
Owner Jim Shank plans to reopen the bar, formerly in the Anderson Towne Center, in part of the former Ace Hardware location, 8251 Beechmont Ave.
The new location will have many of the same features – local bands, pool tables and arcade games – but the former loading dock will become an outdoor patio with tables, chairs and cornhole, he said.
Shank said he wants O'Neal's Tavern to appeal to a wide age range and provide a place for the younger crowd to go, instead of heading to Mt. Lookout or Newport.
"The concept is to keep people in town, which will help out other businesses," he said. "We want to tap back in to the local market."
Work on the inside of the tavern is coming together and Shank plans to reopen in mid-October.
Bar manager Adam Blevins said the former location often drew area residents who stopped by after football games or concerts and wants the new location on Beechmont Avenue to do the same.
"It's fun and nice to see some progress (on the construction)," Blevins said, adding that it will have a similar look and feel to the former location.
O'Neal's planned to open earlier this year, but there were setbacks with obtaining a liquor license. The Anderson Township Board of Trustees initially objected to the liquor license in April, citing violations of the state indoor smoking ban the bar accrued during a two-year period as part of the reason for the objection.
The trustees later withdrew the objection and approved the liquor license in September.
Shank previously said he closed the Anderson Towne Center location in 2010 after a dispute with the landlord about creating an outdoor space, not because of the smoking ban violations.

You guys, I've been so bad about posting lately but between a vacation with the kids, negotiating my return to work (long story, fill you in later, don't worry it's like the best ending ever), my sister's Bridal shower and Bachelorette (which her future sister-in-law totally did 99% of the work for and I just basically showed up…gift and wrapping paper in hand, asking for scotch tape), and starting my photography business (dude….I'm like legit now lol…do people still say dude?)…well you get the point, I've been busy.
The weeks have been blending together as I prepared for my first day back, so here's week 29, 30 and 31.
I'm running again – yay! Short lived since I didn't get a single run in on vacation, but I'm back at it today. The girls, loving on each other. Our bathroom these days, filled with poopy clothes, toys, step stool, and a watering can. Cuz that's how we roll around here. That and with a happy baby. That's right, Taylor is a happy baby. Take that colic.
Last week at home with my little, a tutu I made for Peanut to wear to my sister's wedding (yes, that's happening), more smiley baby, wine and bath times and more smiling baby photos. Don't you just love how happy she is?
Our week at my sister-in-law's house, hanging with her adorable little 7 month old and the rest of the fam. The girls loving on each other is just too much cuteness.
More fun on vacation and enjoying the beach. Peanut is a complete beach bum while Taylor happily snoozed in her car seat under the tent.
My little niece – she could not be any cuter. The silly tot, a morning walk, and more pics of that smiley baby of ours.
Gigi with her grandkids, last day at the beach and a long drive home. Followed by a long drive back to MA to celebrate my little sister's Bridal shower and Bachelorette. Quote of the weekend "Can I mustache you a question?" I'm ESL, peeps. And a gorgeous, sunny drive home Sunday.
That about does it.
How was your week?
Join in the fun – the rules are pretty simple: take pictures throughout the week (it can be your phone, iphone, camera, whatever) and post them with a link back to this post. Then come back here, link your posts, and check out some others.

Requiem Mass
- A combination of Russian Constructivism and my love of piano music led me to this poster. I created an abstract and unconventional view of the piano key, much like Mozart himself who saw music so much differently than those who criticized him.

Trigger warning / Content Warning
A trigger warning usually takes the form of some emphasised (usually bold) text describing in broad terms the upsetting nature of the content, and contains the words "trigger warning" (eg "Trigger warning for sexual violence against children").
Only the words "trigger warning" are insufficient: a (general) indication of the potentially trigger topic is expected.
The actual triggering text might be below the warning or hidden in some way requiring readers to click through.
Trigger warnings are expected for:
- imagery of, graphic descriptions of or extensive discussion of (bigotry-related) violence, abuse, especially sexual abuse or torture;
- imagery of, graphic descriptions of or extensive discussion of self-harming behaviour such as suicide, self-inflicted injuries or disordered eating;
- depictions, especially lengthy or psychologically realistic ones, of the mental state of someone suffering abuse or engaging in self-harming behaviour,
- discussion of statistics of hate-crimes and self-harming are best preceded by a content warning;
- moving images (flashing or otherwise high contrast) while not triggering in the above-described sense can cause migraines so are often posted after a break (so they don't show up on dashboards) with a content warning before the break.
[Trigger Warning: discussion of topic] or "TRIGGER WARNING: graphic description of topic".
Sometimes multiple trigger warnings are put at the top of a page, with a brief indication before the section where a specific topic is discussed. This reminder is often abbreviated: (tw:topic)

When I think back on the days of my youth, that time when I had the privilege of traveling on the NASCAR circuit, it would be hard to pick a lesson learned more important than another.
Lately, I've been thinking about the treasure trove that can be found in life's challenging times - the wisdom, the victories, the emotional muscle built and, of course, the stories.
Dear readers,
When business called Tink back to Los Angeles, he decided to take the opportunity to have his annual checkup. When it ended, he called home.
As an unusually mild, rainy summer was melting away, or rather frosting its way, into autumn, I took to noticing signs that mountain people have always used to judge the forthcoming severity of winter.
I remember more clearly than any other holiday the many Easters of my life.
A while back, a messy problem loomed ahead.
It has become somewhat of an art for me, that of studying Southern culture and deciphering what makes us different from others as well as downright peculiar among ourselves.
Some missing something or the other required me to prowl through closets at Mama's house. That's when I found it. I pulled it out and smiled broadly, warmed by the memories it evoked.
One Sunday while sitting around the dinner table, Louise and I began to tell Daddy stories. You know the ones that stretched back to the early days of his preaching life.
To this conclusion I have come: The most deadly years of our lives are the ages 16 to 21. Those years give us a headiness that comes from new freedom - a driver's license - and the passing of the torch from strict childhood rules to more trust, different restraints and relaxed curfews.
Their histories, accurate and complete, are lost to time and buried with them and those who knew them. I wish I knew more, for their stories would read like a page-turning novel.
My grandmother, Daddy's mother, was sometimes called "crazy" by others who didn't quite understand her eccentric ways.
It was an early summer morning, an enchanting time when flowers are blooming, blackberries are spurting to full growth and the birds are happy to have sunny warmth. I had taken myself out to the back porch where often I settle down to write after I have finished a gentle run.
Mama used to fry biscuits. If you knew Mama, that doesn't surprise you because she fried every food possible. In the course of her life, I knew her to fry green beans, corn, grits and cornmeal mush.
It often amazes me how many words of kindness and encouragement I receive for the stories I tell.
You may be surprised to learn people sometimes disagree with me.
Sometimes, I look across our yard and sigh somewhat woefully, "Too much of that stubborn red Georgia clay shines through." I think, "Oh, one day." I have been thinking this for six or seven years.
Hollywood, more often than not, gets it wrong about the South in movies and television. When they do get it right, we Southerners are amazed and appreciative.
A friend, an only child, was talking about cleaning out her parents' house after the death of her father.
One of my friends called the other. One of my best friends. There was urgency and distress in her voice.
A few years back, someone I knew ever so slightly died. Though I didn't know him well, I knew him to be mean, egoistical and quite a bully.
My husband was out of town working on location when he called one night and discovered I was still working though the hour had grown late.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) cannot say how many foreign seafarers have entered the country illegally at U.S. seaports because of data accuracy problems at two of its agencies, according to the Government Accountability Office.
The report (.pdf), part of a one-year audit to assess the homeland security risk posed by foreign seafarers, found that Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the U.S. Coast Guard reported divergent data on the number of foreign cargo and cruise ship workers who illegally entered the country over a five-year span. (Foreign seafarers legally wanting to enter the U.S. need a non-immigrant work visa.)
"Both CBP and Coast Guard track the frequency of absconder (a seafarer CBP has ordered detained on board a vessel in port, but who departs a vessel without permission) and deserter (a seafarer CBP grants permission to leave a vessel, but who does not return when required) incidents at U.S. seaports, but the records varied considerably," the report states. "The Coast Guard reported 73 percent more absconders and almost double the deserters compared to CBP for fiscal years 2005 through 2009."
Besides illegal immigrant concerns, the GAO worries that extremists could pose as foreign seafarers to attack U.S. seaports or enter the country. To date no foreign seafarer has ever participated in a domestic terrorist attack against the United States, the report notes, although government officials worry about that possibility. According to CBP data, 5 million foreign seafarers arrived at U.S. seaports in fiscal year 2007, 80 percent of them on cruise ships and other passenger vessels.
The GAO report puts most of the blame for these data inconsistencies on CBP, which has the primary responsibility for identifying and reporting the number of absconders and deserters to the Coast Guard and other relevant federal and local law enforcement agencies.
Despite this responsibility, the audit found that CBP could not even keep an accurate count of illegal seafarer incidents internally, with numbers reported by seaport field offices not matching numbers reported by headquarters. According to the report, CBP seaport field offices almost always reported more absconder and deserter incidents than headquarters because field officers failed to regularly enter their data into the proper centralized database, called ENFORCE.

Dear John,
Advertisement-content continues below
Yep, that salutation means exactly what it implies, John…. We're through! Actually, that took place four years ago, if not earlier, when the "Straight-Talk Express" decided to mimic Chris Matthews, and lob only amiable and anemic softballs at your presumed opponent, Barry Soetoro/Obama. And that's precisely my point, John. We, the American People, wanted (and clearly needed and deserved) to know who this Junior Senator from Illinois, the Land – not of Lincoln, but of – Capone really was. Four years later, many still don't…although it seems that I may have just summed it all up!
So, John, if you're wondering "if it's cold in here," or "if it's you?"…it's plainly freezing, and everyone else in the room knows that "it ain't us"! Meanwhile, your h-deprived namesake (and AZ Senate colleague, Jon Kyl), along with virtually every other Republican member of the United States Congress, has been AWOL on this matter of critical national security import from the beginning, and you of all people, John, should be acutely aware that that means something entirely different from simply being MIA. The latter can't always be helped; the former most certainly can!
We're at war, John, and I would have thought that given your background, you would recognize the fact. Has the hero of the Hanoi Hilton melted into a "sunshine patriot"? (That was Thomas Paine who said that, John – in case you've forgotten.)
What prompted me to officially inform you of our long-overdue break-up, John, was your most recent communication, to both me and apparently to many others. Here it is:
Advertisement-content continues below
Dear Mr. Ballantyne:
Thank you for contacting me about the citizenship requirements for the office of President of the United States. I appreciate knowing your views on this issue. [Really, John?]
As you may know, Section 1 of Article Two of the United States Constitution sets forth the eligibility requirements for serving as President of the United States: "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."
Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts on this very important matter. Please feel free to contact me on this or any other issue of concern.
John McCain – United States Senator
Really, John?
Once again, John, having very little knowledge of such things, I was surprised to hear that the whole matter of Barry (or Barack's) identity/citizenship was actually addressed in the Constitution. Imagine my surprise upon learning that!
So what you, John, and that dusty old document you quoted from are suggesting is, what? That someone aspiring to the highest office in the Free (or not-so-free) World should be "natural-born"?
It occurs to me that since the FDA had not even remotely crossed the minds of men like Madison, Jay, and Hamilton, this archaic and quaint criterion must be referring to more than his now-highly-revered mother toughing it out in the delivery room – in either Kansas or Kenya…er, that is Honolulu! (Which hospital was it that was claiming him these days, John? It's so hard to keep up with all the changes!)

Flying Texas reptile: World's oldest Pteranodon? First specimen of its kind discovered as far south as Texas
Fossilized bones discovered in Texas are from the left wing of an ancient flying reptile that died 89 million years ago — possibly the earliest occurrence of the prehistoric creature Pteranodon, says SMU paleontologist Timothy S. Myers, who identified the fossils.
If the reptile is Pteranodon, it would be the first of its kind discovered as far south as Texas.

National Geographic: Texas pterosaur Aetodactylus Halli in the spotlight after 95 million years
National Geographic News interviewed SMU postdoctoral researcher Timothy S. Myers about the new species and genus of pterosaur he identified and named Aetodactylus Halli. Pterosaurs are a group of flying reptiles commonly referred to as pterodactyls.
In the April 28 article "Toothy Texas Pterosaur Found; Soared Over Dallas" reporter John Roach talked to Myers about the 95 million-year-old jaw that was discovered by Lake Worth resident Lance Hall. Continue reading

Rare in North America, the winged reptile was soaring 95 million years ago over what would one day become Dallas-Fort Worth. Continue reading
SMU's Polcyn, Jacobs in Discovery Channel's "Prehistoric Dallas"
Dallas — and much of Texas — was once submerged by a sprawling, blue-water ecosystem called the Western Interior Seaway, which split North America in two from the Gulf of Mexico to the Arctic Ocean, according to a new video documentary by the Discovery Channel.
"Prehistoric Dallas" includes commentary from two SMU paleontologists, Michael J. Polcyn and Louis L. Jacobs, both of whom have expertise in Texas' ancient sea and the life that inhabited it from more than 90 million years ago until the extinction of the dinosaurs at 66 million years ago.

As someone commented: "Such disdain – I love this!"
Indeed, 'disdain' is the perfect word to describe this lovely creature's attitude. I was out photographing walls, and the wall with its glint of gold drew my attention – when I saw this regal cat, adding a special 'dimension' to the wall, and vice versa.
So this ended up about equal parts "wall" and "cat". And feral cats are such an unavoidable (and charming) feature of Istanbul, in its own disdainful way, this cat represents "Istanbul" as well!
Camera: Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1
Featured on the Walls of Istanbul calendar:
Love this! You really captured his regal attitude!
LOL! 'Regal' was exactly the word that jumped into my mind when I spotted him there. ;)
That will definitely figure in the description but I still have to write the descriptions fro this little series (only the Calendar has text so far). But it's way past my bedtime now…
Thanks for being the first to comment and for the fave! You made my day. :)
– Marjolein Katsma
The Cat.
So perfectly he has placed himself.
He has been there before in another life.
good work!
I thought I'd seen feral cats when I was in Rome – but there you see them in some specific areas only. In Istanbul they're everywhere, and none of them looks hungry either. I've noticed people actually put out water, or even food for them.
But indeed, this gentleman looked so perfectly at ease – as if he'd never even consider going anywhere else. :) While I was shooting, he was even falling asleep there!
Thanks for your comment and the fave!
– Marjolein Katsma
Cats sleep anywhere, any table any chair!! Lovely
Yes… :) But this one seemed to be saying to me "Stop staring! This is my home!"
Thanks for the comment and the face!
– Marjolein Katsma
What a fabulous capture!!! A very unique find and capture!!! This would make a wonderful painting!!!!
Thank you Angie! Feel free to use this as inspiration for a painting – just so long as you attribute the original to me. And thanks for the fave, too!
– Marjolein Katsma
Excellent!!!Beautiful representation of the cat worthy!
Thank you too, Neutro (for the fave, too)! I just had to take a picture of this fellow. :)
– Marjolein Katsma
Lovely :)
Thank you Julie!
– Marjolein Katsma
An absolutely fantastic capture! Well done Marjolein : )
Thank you so much, Celia! I appreciate the fave, too.
(Poking through your portfolio a bit, I see many "echo's": we do seem to share this fascination with walls. :) )
– Marjolein Katsma
Thank you Akrotiri! This little guy was also *fur*pect with its soft orange fur so nicely emphasizing the old, cold marble (and the little bit of gold).
– Marjolein Katsma
What a wonderful capture!
Thank you for that lovely comment, Kevin!

Great find ! Outstanding composition and tones.
Always nice to hear from you Jean-Luc! Thank you for the lovely compliment and the fave!

Why not take a vacation and lower your handicap on a sunnier green? Hotel comparison site trivago.ca researched the world's greatest courses to find the best golf hotels that are sure to be a hole in one all year-round. Whether you're travelling with your buddies, your sweetheart, or with the whole family in tow, there's no reason to stop golfing just because it's the "off-season."
I know a lot of folks think they're football fans without considering what has to be done to prepare for the upcoming season. For some reason, they think they can just wile away the summer and start their TV football viewing with no preparation. Serious fans, however, know that the key to successful sports viewing is preparation, lots of preparation.
While the players and fans from Brazil mourned their brutal loss, my son shared the same feelings of defeat. From his folded arms, sulky stare and giant pout -- he was clearly angry about the unfortunate outcome. My son's passionate reaction to the Brazil upset made me reflect on how difficult learning to lose gracefully can be for kids -- and even parents, too.
With the competition in full swing, millions spend hours sitting in front of TVs and computer screens, while their teams engage in grueling matches. Even if you discount all the drinking and snacking that typically comes with watching games on television, the fact that people sit for extended periods of time is disconcerting enough.
More and more women appear to be taking up important roles in the sports world, which propels others forward. Kim Ng, for example, was the youngest person -- and the first woman -- to present a salary arbitration case in the major leagues when working for the Chicago White Sox as a special projects analyst. She won.
For a crowd with a reputation like the Thunder's, this is unacceptable. The prevailing idea is that with nothing else to do and no other major league sports teams to root for in Oklahoma, Thunder basketball means everything to the locals -- they live and die with every KD jumpshot and Westbrook foray into the lane.
Does digital activism against MacLean, Cooke, and Sterling provide real tools to force change? Or, is it merely a technologically-enabled show of customer-generated publicity that is either entirely self-serving or destined to be co-opted by the very sports-entertainment businesses against which its putative anger is aimed? I say the plusses win out.
During the Olympics, you heard stories of athletes who sustained serious injuries and are back at their sport. But what about when the injuries hit close to home affecting your kids, your friends or yourself? The future is unknown when it comes to injuries and can be filled with chronic pain, disability and rehabilitation. So how can we prevent sport-related injuries?
I agree when Strombo says that he can leave his personal biases aside when talking about teams other than his beloved Montreal Canadiens, but do sports journalists really have less serious reporting to do than traditional journalists? Is Strombo right that the fan and journalist roles in sports are unlikely to clash? Recent events say no.
Vladimir Putin posed as a protector of children, while making gay youth outcasts in their own country. The IOC posed as an organisation above politics, while unabashedly bending national politics to its commercial interests. Barack Obama posed as a defender of human rights by grappling with foreign governments, while he shied from the fight in domestic politics.
At a time when it seems we're paying less attention than ever to political news, it's even more crucial for politicians to identify with voters on another level. Be honest -- how many of you watched either the federal budget speech or the B.C. throne speech online? How many of you, by contrast -- have been sneaking peaks at the live-streamed Olympics from your desk?
Next to true sportsmanship, my other passion is people watching on the ski hills. Trends have changed since the 90's when bright neon prints were seen everywhere on the mountains. Then, in the new millennium the clothes became oversized and hanging off of skiers and snowboarders alike. Now the clothes are more refined and dare I say even chic.
How nice was it to watch an outdoor game in Los Angeles, to not have to care about all those recycled, overdone storylines about "pond hockey" and "childhood memories"? Those teams and their markets may not be perfect and they may not live up to the pretentious ideal us frigid northerners try to hold ourselves to, but they're a part of our game. And they're doing it better than us.
Last night, tennis fans sat riveted in front of their TV screens, watching 19-year-old Canadian, Eugenie Bouchard, beat former world No. 1 Ana Ivanovic and triumphantly reach the semifinals of the Australian Open. And after that exhilarating and shocking victory, what did the on-court interviewer ask this dedicated and amazing athlete? Who's the man of your dreams, Eugenie? Who are you crushing on, girl? Because, being a woman, what else could she possibly be interested in? Entrenched sexism needs to be pointed out, ridiculed, and eradicated.
It's that time of year again, when critics, reviewers, amateur enthusiasts of all things aural pull tiny muscles in their large heads compiling and posting for public consumption their lists of Top Albums of the Year. A female friend once pointed out that these oftentimes inane lists are (strangely, suspiciously) almost always the domain of men. We demand demarcation. We want to know. We need to know.
It is perhaps time to consider public health discourse on whether or not any putative benefits from participation in organized sports are largely cancelled out by the ensuing time pressure that not only seriously cuts into time for healthy eating but also sleep and other activities that should be part of an overall healthy lifestyle.
In a top NHL hockey market, there is nothing a Vancouver Canucks player or coach does on or off the ice that goes unnoticed by the city's sports media. During the recent off-season, Vancouver headlines focused on the new "man in charge", coach John Tortorella, a man known for his impatient and often volatile relationship with sports media. From screaming and swearing at reporters to his aggressive approach in post game media scrums, Tortorella has earned a reputation with those in the press box. So how has the NHL coach handled the tenacious Vancouver sports media so far?

Sadly Shirley you speak from a very self righteous view that you are absolutely correct and thus anyone who disagrees is obviously wrong. People like you belive that if you can't proselytize your religious belief everywhere 24/7/365 then you are being persecuted. The first amendment states that you should have the right to worship, or not, anyway you wish, but the law and the government should give preference to or promotion of any; it is every individual's choice.
Sadly icewater you seem to watch too much right-wing propaganda. The so called counter culture is merely a reflection of our society and not a shaper of it. Education and affluence have caused people to move away from religious beliefs that no longer seem make rational sense. You seem to have forgotten WWI which was much bloodier than WWII. And FDR ended the Great Depression you seem to know nothing about. This country was quite prosperous until around the 1980's when Reagan began the rise of conservatism; an objective history of this country will record that the decline of our great nation began with the rise of conservatism and note that the economic wellbeing of working class people began a steady decline from that time on.
Sadly Shirley, you are communicating to mostly those whom have no interest in our nation's culture and or the liberties derived; all of which came from Anglo-Saxon and Judaism's teachings We have permitted counter culture's cancer to seep into every Hollywood film, TV sitcoms, reality shows, news and political theatre. It took WW11 to bring Americans together to fight for survival. That horrific conflict cost millions of lives; the one benefit was that FDR's creation of numerous alphabet programs and departments was stopped.
