text: This is the 5th or 6th time we've stayed at this La Quinta and we are never disappointed. The rooms are large (big enough for two queen size beds in case there are 4 adults), there is a refrigerator and microwave, the beds are very comfortable, the bathroom/toilet is huge and the rooms are very clean. The hotel is also very quiet so we really sleep well every time we stay here. We've stayed at the La Quinta close to Virginia Beach and that's also good, however, for the money, La Quinta at Norfolk Airport is hard to beat. We decided that we'll just stay at this Norfolk hotel and drive to Virginia beach if we want some beach action. Even if it's a few miles from the beach, this hotel's location is great -- close to a lot of restaurants and shopping malls. It is also quite close to the Norfolk Botanical Garden -- a place you should not miss when you want to see places other than Virginia Beach. The amenities are excellent also -- there is an ice machine and vending machine in every floor plus a laundry room that guests can use. In addition, there is a workout room, indoor pool and free wifi. The staff are very friendly and checking in or out is a breeze. What more can anyone ask for?

Transient defects of mitotic spindle geometry and chromosome segregation errors

Published: 11 August 2012
Assembly of a bipolar mitotic spindle is essential to ensure accurate chromosome segregation and prevent aneuploidy, and severe mitotic spindle defects are typically associated with cell death. Recent studies have shown that mitotic spindles with initial geometric defects can undergo specific rearrangements so the cell can complete mitosis with a bipolar spindle and undergo bipolar chromosome segregation, thus preventing the risk of cell death associated with abnormal spindle structure. Although this may appear as an advantageous strategy, transient defects in spindle geometry may be even more threatening to a cell population or organism than permanent spindle defects. Indeed, transient spindle geometry defects cause high rates of chromosome mis-segregation and aneuploidy. In this review, we summarize our current knowledge on two specific types of transient spindle geometry defects (transient multipolarity and incomplete spindle pole separation) and describe how these mechanisms cause chromosome mis-segregation and aneuploidy. Finally, we discuss how these transient spindle defects may specifically contribute to the chromosomal instability observed in cancer cells.

Abnormal mitotic spindle geometry: permanent vs. transient
The bipolar geometry of the mitotic spindle is essential for accurate chromosome segregation, and already a century ago Theodor Boveri postulated that supernumerary centrosomes could lead to the production of aneuploid cells [23, 24]. Observations of mitosis in both transformed and non-transformed cells reveal that multipolar mitotic spindles do occasionally form [25–31]. Typically, chromosomes within multipolar spindles form metaphase plates that display branched, Y-, V-, or T-shaped configurations as a consequence of chromosome alignment between multiple spindle poles [25, 26]. Although chromosomes can align between supernumerary spindle poles, multipolar cell division has been shown to cause cell death in the progeny [32], most likely due to the fact that it causes massive chromosome mis-segregation, thus producing daughter cells that have far fewer chromosomes than is needed for survival. Moreover, anaphase lagging chromosomes (chromosomes that lag behind while all the other chromosomes segregate to the spindle poles during anaphase) are also frequently observed during multipolar cell division [25, 27], thus adding to the burden of chromosome mis-segregation in multipolar cell division. Given the risk, it is not surprising that multipolar spindle assembly is a rare event in non-transformed cells growing under optimal conditions. Conversely, multipolar spindle assembly is very common in cancer cells [28–30, 33–38], yet cancer cells avoid multipolar cell division and subsequent cell death by exploiting a number of mechanisms that allow centrosome clustering prior to anaphase onset [32, 39–41]. Microtubule-associated proteins (e.g., NuMA, TPX2, ch-TOG, and ARL2), motor proteins (e.g., dynein and HSET), central spindle components, CLASPs, components of the Augmin complex, anillin, proteins involved in sister chromatid cohesion, kinetochore components, and chromosomal passenger proteins have all been implicated in the clustering of centrosomes prior to chromosome segregation [40–45]. The molecular and structural requirements that cause some cells to undergo multipolar anaphase and others to cluster their centrosomes are not yet know. However, variations in expression levels of minus end directed motors that oppose motors which serve to separate the centrosomes are likely involved. Alternatively, the orientation of the centrosomes as well as their distance from one another may serve to facilitate supernumerary centrosome clustering. These possibilities have yet to be explored, but studies investigating these issues would undoubtedly lead to a more comprehensive understanding of the specific mechanism(s) responsible for centrosome clustering. Regardless of the specific mechanisms, however, it is clear that cancer cells employ strategies to avoid permanent multipolarity, thus experiencing this mitotic spindle defect only transiently.
Another type of abnormal spindle geometry is observed in prometaphase cells with unseparated or incompletely separated spindle poles. In these cells, the centrosomes fail to migrate to opposing positions around the nucleus (a process driven by dynein and kinesin-5; reviewed in [46]) before the cell enters prometaphase (i.e., before nuclear envelope breakdown, NEB). If the centrosomes persisted in such unseparated/partially separated configuration, the cell would arrest in mitosis with a monopolar spindle, which would then lead to either mitotic slippage or cell death [47–49]. However, all cell types studied to date appear capable of completing centrosome separation after NEB thanks to a number of mechanisms, including Eg5 motor activity [46, 50], myosin activity at the cell cortex [50, 51], and kinetochore/kinetochore-microtubule-generated forces [52, 53]. Once again, cells seem to have developed ways to avoid a permanent spindle defect and to limit monopolarity to a transient stage. The phenomenon of incomplete centrosome separation at NEB has been observed in a variety of cell types [52, 54–56] and, while it was initially described in the mid- 1970s [55, 56], only sporadic reports described this centrosome behavior over a period of several decades [51, 54]. Recently, this phenomenon has received renewed attention [53, 57] in part due to its correlation with increased rates of chromosome mis-segregation [57, 58]. Why in some cells the centrosomes can reach diametrically opposing positions around the nucleus prior to NEB, whereas in other cells they cannot, is not clear. However, it has been proposed that the cause may be a lack of coordination between the timing of NEB and centrosome separation [55–57]. In any case, these cells achieve complete centrosome separation after NEB with no noticeable defects in subsequent mitotic spindle assembly or in the timing of mitosis as defined by the time between NEB and anaphase onset [52, 55, 57–59]. Nevertheless, cells that complete centrosome separation after NEB will experience monopolarity or near-monopolarity (spindle geometry defect) over a time window in early prometaphase, when initial kinetochore-microtubule attachments are being established.
Transient spindle geometry defects, kinetochore mis-attachments, and aneuploidy
Studies in various types of cancer cells showed that multipolar prometaphase cells display higher numbers of merotelic kinetochore attachments (one kinetochore bound to microtubules from two spindle poles instead of just one) compared to bipolar prometaphases ([32, 39]; Figure 2A). Moreover, both experimental and computational analysis showed that the number of merotelic kinetochores increases with increasing numbers of spindle poles [60]. To explain this correlation, it was proposed that the reduced distance between each pair of spindle poles would increase the likelihood of each kinetochore to be reached by and bind to microtubules from two spindle poles instead of just one [32, 39].
Experimental and computational studies were also employed to investigate the process of establishment of kinetochore attachment in cells with incomplete centrosome separation at NEB. These studies showed that when the two spindle poles are very close to each other upon NEB, chromosomes are extremely likely to establish syntelic attachments (both sister kinetochores bound to microtubules from the same spindle pole) ([57]; Figure 2B, top). As the spindle poles separate, such syntelic attachments can be partially corrected and converted into merotelic attachments ([57]; Figure 2B, top). When, upon NEB, the spindle poles are farther apart, but not diametrically opposed, kinetochores can form merotelic attachments without transitioning through a syntelic intermediate ([57]; Figure 2B, bottom). What is important to emphasize here is that in both cases of spindle geometry defects (multipolarity and near-monopolarity), large numbers of merotelic kinetochores are formed before spindle bi-polarization (Figure 2). Because the SAC cannot detect merotelic kinetochore attachment [61–65], cells can progress through mitosis in the presence of large numbers of merotelic kinetochores. Although merotelic kinetochores can be corrected by an Aurora B-dependent mechanism [66, 67], mitosis will not halt to allow for correction, and therefore high rates of merotelic kinetochore formation invariably result in high rates of anaphase lagging chromosomes (reviewed in [21]). Indeed, both transient multipolarity and incomplete spindle pole separation have been shown to result in high rates of anaphase lagging chromosomes ([32, 39, 58]; Figure 2). Thus, abnormal spindle geometry, albeit transient, can have detrimental effects on the fidelity of chromosome segregation, and represents a potential source of aneuploidy. Interestingly, over 70% of cancer cells from various sites are aneuploid [21, 68], and many of them also display high rates of chromosome mis-segregation, a phenotype that leads to continuous changes in chromosome number, or chromosomal instability (CIN) [22, 69–71]. Recent studies have shown that merotelically attached anaphase lagging chromosomes represent the most common chromosome segregation defect in CIN cancer cells [32, 39, 72]. One cause of such high rates of anaphase lagging chromosomes appears to be the inefficiency of the correction mechanisms for kinetochore mis-attachments in cancer cells [73]. However, the high rates at which kinetochore mis-attachments (particularly merotelic) form are perhaps the major cause of chromosome mis-segregation in cancer cells, and the transient spindle geometry defects described above represent the most likely mechanisms of kinetochore mis-attachment formation in cancer cells ([32, 39]; Silkworth, Nardi, and Cimini, unpublished; see below for further discussion).
Transient spindle geometry defects in development, adult tissues, and cancer
The transient spindle geometry defects described here and their effects on the fidelity of chromosome segregation have been mainly characterized in tissue culture cells, with transient multipolarity exclusively observed in CIN cancer cells to date. Indeed, the frequencies of multipolar spindles in non-transformed or non-CIN cancer cells are typically very low (Silkworth, Nardi, and Cimini, unpublished). Given the causal relation between transient multipolarity and chromosome mis-segregation and that transient multipolarity is very common in CIN cancer cells, this mechanism is widely recognized as a major player in CIN. Whether this mechanism is also acting in tumors in situ has not been investigated. However, multipolar spindles have been observed in tumor tissues [74–76] and short-term tumor cell cultures [77, 78].
Although incomplete spindle pole separation at NEB has also been characterized mainly in tissue culture cells, the information available to date reveals that this mechanism is not exclusive to cancer cells, and has indeed been observed in several different types of tissue culture cells at frequencies of ~40-45% [51, 52, 55, 57, 59]. Moreover, studies aimed at investigating various aspects of cell division provide useful information on the occurrence and relevance of this mechanism in contexts other than tissue culture. For example, in both the one- and two-cell stage of the Caenorhabditis elegans embryo, the centrosomes achieve opposing positions around the nucleus before the nuclear envelope breaks down [79]. Similarly, in the syncytial Drosophila embryo, the centrosomes always achieve diametric arrangement around prophase nuclei [80], and the nuclear envelope does not break down until the centrosomes have completed their movement around the nucleus [81]. This ability of cells in developing embryos to completely separate their centrosomes before NEB has also been observed in Drosophila melanogaster neurogenesis. Indeed, in both epidermoblasts and neuroblasts the centrosomes are completely separated before the onset of prometaphase [82]. Given the risk of chromosome mis-segregation associated with incomplete centrosome separation at NEB, it is not surprising that this defect is not observed during early development, as it would potentially lead to mosaic aneuploidy and possibly embryonic death.
The incidence of incomplete centrosome separation at NEB in normal adult tissues has not been investigated to date. However, a recent study showed that non-cancer RPE1 cells, which are known to maintain a stable karyotype with negligible rates of aneuploidy [72], always succeed to separate their centrosomes before NEB [83]. This observation suggests that centrosome separation in normal proliferating cells, like in developing embryo cells, may be better timed with NEB compared to cancer cells or certain stabilized tissue culture cells.
The open question, then, is whether incomplete centrosome separation at NEB may play a role in cancer cell CIN, and if so, to what extent. As discussed above, transient multipolarity is recognized as a major cause of chromosome mis-segregation in cancer cells [32, 39, 84]. However, some CIN cancer cell types cannot cluster the centrosomes of multipolar spindles very efficiently (Silkworth, Nardi, and Cimini, unpublished). Yet, these cells exhibit high rates of chromosome mis-segregation in the form of lagging chromosomes in bipolar anaphase cells (Silkworth, Nardi, and Cimini, unpublished), raising the possibility that incomplete spindle pole separation at NEB may play a role in promoting formation of kinetochore mis-attachments in these cells. Analysis of centrosome separation in early prometaphase shows that incomplete spindle pole separation at NEB can be observed in as many as 70% of the cells in those cancer cell lines that display inefficient centrosome clustering (Silkworth, Nardi, and Cimini, unpublished). These observations indicate that incomplete centrosome separation at NEB may play an important role in promoting CIN in certain cancer types.
Accurate partitioning of chromosomes to the daughter cells during mitosis is of utmost importance to ensure development and growth of all eukaryotic organisms. Defects of the mitotic spindle have a dramatic impact on chromosome segregation. However, the effect on the cell population can be even more dramatic if the spindle defects are only transient. Indeed, whereas permanent spindle defects typically lead to cell death in the progeny, transient spindle defects increase the rates of chromosome mis-segregation, but not to a level that would affect cell viability, thus ultimately being more threatening to the overall cell population and/or the organism. Here, we have discussed two types of transient mitotic spindle defects that are associated with increased rates of kinetochore mis-attachment formation and chromosome mis-segregation. One of them, transient multipolarity, is currently recognized as a common mechanism of CIN in cancer cells [32, 39, 84]. Conversely, the incomplete centrosome separation (at NEB) mechanism appears to occur at moderate levels in many different types of cancer cells, but it also occurs at very high frequencies in cells from certain types of cancers. This is a very interesting observation that needs further investigation. For example, it would be interesting to study whether the incidence of this mechanism relates to cancer progression or whether it is typical of cancer cells from specific sites. Moreover, the fact that incomplete centrosome separation at NEB is also observed in several non-transformed cell types suggests the possibility that this mechanism may occur in normal proliferating somatic cells and may, through its ability to promote chromosome mis-segregation, play a role in tumor initiation. This possibility undoubtedly deserves consideration in the near future. Future studies should also be focused on the causes of incomplete centrosome separation at NEB. It is plausible to imagine that mis-regulation of key motor proteins may be at the basis of this defect. An alternative hypothesis is that the ability of the centrosomes to separate in a timely fashion is dictated by signals from and/or physical interactions with trans-membrane elements. For example, it is widely acknowledged that dividing cells within polarized epithelia rely on such mechanisms to orient the mitotic spindle [85–87]. Similar mechanisms may dictate not only the exact positioning of the centrosomes, but also the timing of centrosome separation. One last possibility is that centrosome separation per se is not impaired in cells with incomplete centrosome separation at NEB, but the exact timing is inaccurate, so that centrosome separation and NEB are no longer coordinated. It is possible that such coordination is finely regulated at the early stages of development [50, 80, 81, 88], but is lost in the adult. In fact, optimal timing between centrosome separation, NEB, and chromosome segregation is very important during the early stages of development to ensure the chromosomal stability necessary to the development of a healthy adult organism. In conclusion, incomplete centrosome separation at NEB is a newly characterized mechanism of CIN for which we still have numerous open questions, and as such it will likely become the focus of many studies in the near future.

Coconut water is valuable to kids because it contains electrolytes and essential nutrients that are depleted during dehydration. Children may become dehydrated more easily than adults, and coconut water helps to replenish them with the water and electrolytes they need to stay hydrated and healthy! Flavors in the O.N.E. Kids line include Apple, Fruit Punch, Orange and Raspberry Lemonade.

Stay In the Loop
It's not often we say this, but there's a great reason to go to Addison: The 2013 Out of the Loop Fringe Festival. WaterTower Theatre (15650 Addison Road) hosts the 10-day revolving door of dance, theatre, comedy, performance art and music, starting Thursday and running through March 17. Last year's highlights included avant garde theatre scofflaws Dead White Zombies and Charles Ross' One Man Lord of the Rings. Hard to top that, we know, but this year we're looking forward to Contemporary Ballet Dallas' progressive production Proof of Life; Ayana Hampton's bawdy The Morning After Show; Muscle Memory Dance Theatre's Falling Upside: A Dancing Recovery; and Patrick O'Brien's one-man show, Underneath the Lintel, about an odd librarian and a very overdue book. Make sure to check out Fort Worth Opera's programming throughout the fest, as well as WaterTower's own production of The Ugly One Thursday night. A festival pass is $65; $10 for individual events. Call 972-450-6230 or visit watertowertheatre.org for tickets.

Where to Get Your Pink Drink and Shellfish on the Westside!
The semi-annual Fade to Light fashion show is going down at the Crystal tonight, and we're studying up on the crop of designers being featured this time (some of them we know, some of them we're still getting acquainted with). To that end, we sent along some questions about their new collections and how they approach Fade to Light's particular focus on multi-media presentations, which at its most basic involves a video introduction prior to each line's appearance, but which can and has included everything from live music to professional dance routines thrown down in the middle of the runway.
Next up: TARUC by Keely DiPeitro (who's no stranger to local runways... she's usually on them).
How many times have you participated?
This is my first time, but have walked in the past four shows.
How do you feel about the video aspect of the show?
I think the video aspect of the show is vital to understanding the designer's inspiration and mood for the collection. It is what makes Fade to Light unique. It is definitely an added stressor to make a video along with producing an entire collection, but there are plenty of other fashion shows out there for designers to participate in if they did not want to fufill the video requirement. For my line, TARUC, the collection would be further enhanced by using a video backdrop, and Fade to Light is shown at the Crystal Ballroom, which is known for hosting all types of entertainers—the video aspect puts on a performance, which for me is very important because I treat my designs as art pieces, although I think that fashion shows are not just for entertainment value, but for making the designer known and hopefully selling the collection to buyers at the show.

These Sonnet Dedication poems are examples of Sonnet poems about Dedication. These are the best examples of Sonnet Dedication poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
If you don't find the poem you want here, try our incredible, super duper, all-knowing, advanced poem search engine.
A pretty girl in pleated dress of red,
with collar laced in white beneath her throat
and matching bow upon her small blonde head,
is glancing round the chapel. I take note.
Though nails on little hands show grown-up paint,
she emanates no guile. She's unaware
That in this world are some who wish to taint
all innocence; for no one do they care!
She nuzzles her dad's face as on his knee
she's sitting now - his sweet beloved daughter.
What menace lurks, from which she could not flee?
What evil lessons might one day be taught her?
She hugs her daddy's chest; I watch and pray
she'll live to hold a child her own one day.

I know a very fine poet, a dear colleague, who's so exquisitely talented and bright,
And has a superb facility with words and themes making all fit perfect and right;
She has an unrivaled mastery of the poetic art and writes with the best approach,
And has an unparalleled ability to write the finest verse beyond any reproach.
This poet's sense of depth, empathy, and poetic variety is quite splendid to behold,
And she brings such compassion and power to her work worth its weight in gold;
With well-conceived themes and images she invites readers to her special dimension,
While enchanting them magically with sublime verses and holding their attention.
This poet communes with Our Poetry Muse, seeking her scope and enchanted vision,
And shares amply all with her readers with enraptured intent and a perfect precision.
Our friend's poetry reflects always the human dynamic with such power and grace,
And she finds the right tone, tenor, pitch and rhyme—putting them in proper place.
I must say I'm very proud of our colleague's work and appreciate so her fine poetry,
And I'm so glad she's with us and gives us such beauty and elegance in her poetry!

A lonely bard can paint and write more songs,
Which birds loftily warble all day long,
Every note taps the heart of each flower,
Sprinkles dew drops while silent wind meanders.
Her ballad - a gem of all creations,
A home, hollowed not with admiration,
Chasm within draws perfect harmony
For stars to play a perfect symphony.
With knowledge and love, ink surges so deep,
The feather outshines the wind on its tip,
Lifting up dry leaves lying underneath
Every tale is treasured by golden sheath.
Lonely bard pens the lyrics of our hearts,
Where weary souls can find their road to start.

"I am a lonely bard
I have no song to sing.
This empty ballad is my home.
A feather against the dying wind-
-my only expression."

This poem is a loving dedication/ homage to my all time greatest & most favourite poet, my loving sis & friend of mine & my number 1 inspiration.

A child's beauty contest I watched in such awe;
young girl in a wheelchair to her father, his all.
Escorting her on stage with such grace and pride;
each so blessed to be at the others' side.
A fragile princess in a purple pageant dress;
twirling her first in her chair then lifting her to his chest.
Their dance so inspiring; such an enchanting sight;
so gently he lifted her high up to the sky.
Sparkling, bright eyes and the most beautiful smile;
none deserving of a crown more than this precious child.
An imperfect body, viewed as a gift from above;
her beauty matched only by a father's boundless love.
Beauty in my eyes is not found in perfection;
but in acceptance, uniqueness, love and dedication.

Those Glory Days, Long Gone
Those glory days resting so far bygone
I trek ahead, sad and so all alone
Treasures left upon lofty mountain tops
Rushing ever foward, no time for stops
Days, we resting under a shading oak
loving in vows that we forever spoke
Coolest mornings, breezing days easing minds
days of joy in all the many new finds
Those views of life sing forever above
crystal dreams set in our undying love
Nights of magic in epic love unbound
blisses in every kiss our wet lips found
Memories of days and nights now alone
holding memories of life so long gone!

Shall I compare thee to a winter's day?
Thou art much more shrivelled and much more cold
Rough winds shake the withered leaves of today.
And your stomach hath too many a fold.
Sometimes too hot your sister shines,
And often is your grey complexion dimmed;
And you always smell like my uncle's swine
Except your upper lip is less well trimmed.
Thy eternal summer did long since fade
And lost possession of that fair thou ow'st;
And Satan brag thou wand'rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives death to eyes.

How grand it is when blue sky meets the sea,
may sky and sand and water ever be,
reflected in this topsy-turvy lea.
Oh, let the stars fall down, and over we.
Will you meet me where the foam froths and roils,
where waves pound upon glistening soil,
and seagull's squawk in mismatched harmony;
oh, let the stars fall down, and over we.
Sea tossed, the dross shines upon the strand.
Gemstones are born, where the sky meets the land.
meet me down by the rush of lulling sea;
oh, let the stars fall down, and over we.
Here we will lie for all eternity,
with life and death, and our love of the sea.

The Shaman sits upon the sand,
the sand of ocher clay;
between the walls of ruins tall,
where ancient one did lay.
The sky above, the earth between;
took in her sincere pleas
tinksha's toned, soft flutes droned,
her mantra's dire decree.
To be the light on darkened paths,
within the night belayed;
and be the brave dark in the glow,
of God's pristine light portrayed.
Her life long work no sacrifice
a love of mankind to display.
*One may be of any race or of almost any religion
and walk the Red Road. The Good Red Road is a path,
a way of living. It's full meaning is the way one acts,
the methods one uses, and what directs one's doing.
There is more to the Red Road than spoken word
or written words on paper. It is behavior, attitude,
a way of living, a way of "doing" with reverence -
of walking strong yet softly, so as not to harm
or disturb other life. The Red Road is a pathway to truth,
peace and harmony.
A guardian poet you have been to me
Much like an angel, there protecting me
When I was silent, lost in dark of night
You read my words and brought me back to light
You told me that my words were ever true
That in my writes were thoughts profound and new
You would not let me simply drift away
A word of hope you'd send to greet each day
Your name is there below each thing I write
To tear dimmed eyes you brought a vision bright
"The Queen of Passion," how I love the name
You gave to me and life is not the same
To you, my Guardian Poet, thanks I bring
You fool me not; I see your angel wing

Richard Lamoureux and I joined Poetry Soup at about the same time a year and eight months ago. Richard has been like a mentor to me. I've recently been very unwell emotionally and unable to write. I have appreciated the fact that he did not give up on me and kept daily visiting my previous writes and leaving words of encouragement. My words are my soul, so, in a way, he was affirming my worth as a person, which is what I was in need of. Richard has written a poem for me entitled, "Queen of the Romantic Pen."
Richard, your friendship is precious and dear. You are a man of faith and integrity. May God bless your home, your loved ones, and your heart with all that brings you joy. Thank you for standing by me through my dark times.

Having had mere minutes to skim your sighs,
anesthetize the tip of teeming thought ...
with platitudes for quandaries which fly bye,
we care for you, our frail flowers wrought.
The breeze, the muse, the bringer, the envoy
lends at days end, the tender bits of heart
as on the keys or sewing seams of joy
our fingers never rest from the day's start.
Hands in the garden smudged with chlorophyll
or wrapped about a naughty childlike pet
oft rest behind a trusty Parker's quill
all healing touches given without regret.
Small and strong and full of life, they pour.
A woman's hands give much to be adored.
*Women inspire me especially my mother.
Plain spotless uniform so pure and white
Modest neat gear rendering tender loving fight
Day, night 'till wee hours, eyes a must wide awake
Extending a hand, shaking off all aches
Tiptoeing like a sly in and out of rooms
Dim ~ quiet same as white garden tombs
Grace under pressure upon first newborn's cry
Wiping tears from a gentle old man's dying eye
Evenings so dark and mornings so bright
Everyday a nurse sees life kaleidoscope lights
Despite some voice rudeness to foul remarks
Kindness,her soul's sweet perfume, larks
A nurse appears unfeeling firm when mankind bleeds
Within her are hidden soft golden beauty deeds

I open her book of poetry
When I need to run away.
Serenity washes over me,
Banishing stresses of the day.
Her melodic rhymes entice me,
My imagination begins to soar.
The kind of poet I strive to be,
Her work leaves me wanting more.
Passionate words and phrases
In rhyme and rhythmic flow.
Each poem awes and amazes
Causing my inspiration to grow.
She writes with flourish and with flair.
A poetess beyond compare.

'Tis a heavenly honeybee
with a honeyed tongue
drippin' dulcet words accompany
by the rhythm of her buzzin' song.
...Sweet appetible verses flavourin' my soul
with the nectar fetch from tasty seasons of Springs;
Mmm! a bunch of saccharine syrup to behold.
Aliment from the supernal honeycomb she ev'r brings.
O' lofty queenbee! a noble subject clings
to your pleasurable condiment,
and to the chorus of your iridescent wings
swarming with merriment.
So, hail to Moonbee
with a vow of Jubilee.
A dedication to MoonBee.

She mostly sits on the outside looking
into the worlds around her. Day by day
gazing into strong hearts interlocking
with others, bonding in the friendly way.
Her rationale, by and large is to cope
with life as a mom, with a two year old
and the love of a husband giving hope
that neither will be left out in the cold.
She is assured by his drive and his verve.
He - - in return lets her live her own life.
Sometimes her other self loses her nerve:
she revives, being mom, poet and wife
She offers a sonnet for sweet respite,
for life, being young, and living outright

I am looking right at you and you don't even know it.
I will deter your intent and throw you off a steep cliff.
But in the air will be my snuff and gruff you can sniff.
Eventually I will have some sort of mercy of just a bit.
Surely we are above empowering manners of tat for tit.
Maybe I'll light a scented candle and blow you my whiff.
Or maybe I will strand you grounding your bones to stiff.
Opposed or decomposed and still composed I won't quit.
Upside down,
Inside or out,
I'll throw down.
I am the clout.
Don't mistake my identity,
Either or, it's your eternity.

Angelic words she places in lines with care.
Never heard a discouraging word, she did share.
Deeper emotions she does write so clear.
Reality is her concern, realism so sincere.
Excitement sometimes rules her lines.
A woman of deep and emotional designs,
Deeply passionate about so many things in life,
I never met her though read her poetic rife.
Each time she visits others words she reads.
Telling others so sweetly she plants seeds,
Respectfully she instills poetic writings in another.
I saw onetime she felt like a sonnet unwritten.
Carefully I wrote this for her, an earth mother.
Having friendship in mind never was smitten.
I have a sort of gift that allows me to sense certain feelings about people without even meeting them....and usually my first intuition if you want to call it that is perfectly correct.
....no matter what it is about or who it is about I have to write it or my soul is clouded and pain grows within...Blessings..Cecil

Nikan is a man who once stood proud and true all across this land
in symbiotic relation with nature endowed by the great creators hand
passed onto him by his ancestors to never take more than his fair share
and always be kind to this land for it's the Mother to all whom she shall bare
When times are lean we all will grow thin together for together we are one
with one voice to sing in harmony for bountiful harvest to our Father the Sun
and give him thanks and praise for warming and making fertile our Mother
who blessed new life into the birthing seasons for every Sister and Brother
Great spirit hear my song of hope that I sing for my people who will cry
we are mighty on the earth give us protection or your children they will die
and our people's blood will flow upon our Mother like deep rivers of raging red
O' Father I can see no solution will you spare us from the white mans dread
I could never make claim to imagine this great man's woeful sorry or despair
Nikan's song is a lonely tune played for the spirit of his people upon the air.

The cold, is here again.
Our lips, are getting dried again.
Lip gloss sellers, are inflating its price again
Men will bear this brunt, all again.
The leaves are littering the ground again.
Late student will have to pick again and again.
Sweaters would be in vogue again.
The rich won't boast to us again.
Cos the natural cool air condition is here again.
The lotion cream has no effects again.
B'cos it's the Vaseline's time again.
It's Harmattan again.
The farewell to ember months is here again.
Let's play safe, perhaps to witness another one again!

As certain as the rains do fall in spring,
will be my love, for you to have and hold,
and know you now--my rain of love will bring
to you, all joy of which all love is told.
No one could ever count the drops that fall,
and so is put together, love for you,
numbers cannot be given them at all,
though put together, one is what will do.
And every single drop adds beauty there
to something we can call a rainy day,
to fill with love, made up, from everywhere,
the drops of life that make love what we say.
Our midnight place, your front porch, dreaming of
each drop of rain that's filled with so much love.

Remembering that night of our last touch,
when nothing was between us we should know,
in love with loving you, and just how much
I wonder where in time do such nights go?
Forbidden like a box that's sealed up tight,
or like the flame that Zeus refused to share
with mortals such as we, and on this night,
Pandora's box was opened everywhere,
you were, that night, my first and only love
and always shall remain that part of me,
created from the earth and waters of
a night that Aphrodite made to be.
And I am more than blessed for loving you
forever and all time, as I shall do.

I've just some things I thought your heart should hear,
since they've been weighing heav'ly on my mind,
so list' and I shall whisper to thine ear
with all compassion my poor heart can find.
You've touched me deeply with the way you smile;
such lips could sooth the beast of anyone;
and spreading love with looks must be your style
for every time our eyes meet, love comes on.
Now I'm about to kiss the lips of you
for this first time, I pray the memory
shall linger on through years life takes us through,
together, as I'm certain this will be.
This first kiss of our love will never end
and changes whom you guessed was just your friend.
(I saw someone post a poem recently about Christopher
Reeves and it reminded me of this oldie of mine)
He didn't come from Krypton. . . was not sent
to earth with any special kind of power.
He wasn't a reporter named Clark Kent,
but like that role he played, he didn't cower
when struck by his own brand of Kryptonite
named quadriplegia, which couldn't stay
this fellow who inspired with his might,
enduring trials bravely day to day.
He did not have Lex Luther as a foe
but fought for what was right, so now we grieve
because this hero that we came to know
was taken from our world. Dear Mr. Reeves
gave a human face to a fictive name,
then went back to the place from whence he came.
For PD's Contest: "My Latest Poem on the Soup"
(naughty PD, I had only three to choose from, all
the others were in contests,but this is sure a unique
way to do a contest!!)
Upon the Earth in sky or sea, n'er lived
a fairer wonder formed, than such as she.
Oh, Shield Mate, Mother Mary, child of Eve
who is reborn each age, when hope revives.
So soft the breath of human life arrives
awesome in the pearly froth, the sea
a warrior birthed upon a sandy lea
freed of man's cloth restraints, thus she thrives.
For sinless and aglow, she does arise
no need for cloak or length of tress to hide
stalwart is her beauty, her majesty
Enlightened are her follower's guises
with linked hearts may each new spirit confide
the eternal maid rises... a Valkyrie.
I have found many friends on our site
They have helped learn how to live right
Friends encouraged me to find my way
Friends held me in the prayers they pray
During my absence away from this site
My soul and I fought a constant fight
Because deep inside these words are true
I love the time I spend with all of you
I hope you all know without any doubt
I love taking my soul and laying it out
Because when it comes to life it's my turn
I've so much to give so much to learn
I've kept my summer free so I can show it
How much I love being a PoetrySoup Poet

When you miss a child,
Of your very own,
That is your flesh and blood,
You begin to wonder,
Where did you go wrong,
In your own life,
Instead of looking,
At the beautiful life,
You created,
This you must remember,
So many of the difficult times,
Cause of the times you did share together,
For your children will remember more,
Than you really want to give them credit for,
And they will always remember you,
As their loving parent,
For loving them so much,
More than you will ever know,
And you will never forget them,
Just as you hope,
You will never be forgotten,
From their lives,
Forever more,
As well.

A Wonderful Day Afishin'
A wonderful day fishing, frying fish in the pan
logs sweetly burning, smokey smells of delight
Lake nearly perfect , a pond in God's opened hand
feast soon to start a beautiful camping night!
That monster fish that easily broke your rod tip
set a memory to be recalled decades from now
As recollections in old age our minds eagerly dip
mental pictures the where , when , why and how!
This night shall hold us in a very deep embrace
join me in a toast to a future so fine and sweet
Singing of happiness , joy and your smiling face
memories, good times, wine and fish to eat!
A wonderful day fishing, so very hard to beat
Nature's offering, magnificent trout to eat!
June -09- 1978
Robert J. Lindley
I wrote this decades ago. My fishing partner was a fine
lady that I almost married! Sadly she passed away back in
May of 2005... She had married and had a grown daughter
in college. I hadn't had contact with her in well over
22 years. Still it was a sad day for me upon
learning of her death...
Whenever I said green light, you said red
Light, fighting back with a smile on your face;
Racing hearts chased each other to keep pace
With the words that had already been said.
Through all of the formalities, I sped,
Dead set on letting my hand reach that space
Between left and right lanes; The only place
A man, just like me, could truly be fed.
As the beginning of your end drew near,
The truth about my true intentions leaked;
While being left without a word to speak,
I, too, began to whisper in your ear,
"Remember 'INNOCENCE IS FOR THE WEAK'!"

Which love is not a struggle to the mind?
'tis easier to think love glides along,
regardless of a road not there to find,
or never caring what is right or wrong.
One love, of child, a father's steady hand,
protecting innocence, through many years
as if he knew the way, and had it planned,
to heal each mortal wound as it appears.
As if all things begin with his okay,
the good, the joy of life to build upon;
demanding right, and hoping in some way
he's always with you, even when he's gone.
The banged up knee, your losing of a friend,
are yours to feel, but his to comprehend.
In stillness of her spirit she sits there
with all her prowess she manipulates.
Her fingers' ripples in coldest water
replenish mind and soul that ruminates.
Playing in nocturne, she's being witnessed
by her governess . The simplicity...
Her portraits that adduce virtues she possessed -
laconic and clear view of chastity.
Oh, renaissance woman, you shine on top,
as you incandesce in mind love of arts!
You're a czar bringing our decorum up-
women's pride… imbue modesty in heart.
In the silence of our heart, we listen
in these memorabilia… you remain.

So you want to throw the Super Bowl of Super Bowl parties, huh? We've all been there. Nothing makes you the toast of the town quite like a supremely awesome Super Bowl party does. It can be done, but how?

In a town of nearly 2300, just Northwest of Albert Lea, the legacy of the Metrodome will live on.
Oscar nominations came out Thursday morning, with films like 'American Hustle' and '12 Years a Slave' leading the way. You can probably bet that none of this weekend's new releases will figure into next year's Oscars, but that doesn't mean there won't be something you like. The four films opening wide on Friday cover a wide range of genres and styles, a little something for everyone.
Here's a not-so-subtle reminder that you should know when to say when.
I didn't think I would get it, but I wound up with a piece of history in my home.
Jason Brown, a19-year-old boy from Illinois, earned the silver medal and a ticket to the Sochi Olympics in February with this amazing performance at the 2014 U.S. Figure Skating Championships on Sunday in Boston.
With all that whining and crying coming from the East Coast, you'd think the world was entering some sort of new Ice Age. But we're from Minnesota. We just call it Monday. Hey NYC, STFU.
Why would you pay $10 for a comfy pair of sweatpants when you can spend about 120 times more for an equally comfy pair of sweatpants?

Pentagon: Americans Rescue More Iranians Stranded at Sea
Posted on Jan 10, 2012
We were kidding Monday when we called for another dramatic rescue of Iranians on the high seas, but according to the Pentagon, members of the American military did it again Tuesday. Either our cynicism is getting more pronounced or the news cycle is becoming startlingly predictable. —KA

Just like the name specifies, a sales engagement manager manages your sales engagement by overlooking the whole sales process to make sure you get the best out of a sales deal while safeguarding the interest of his vendor company. When a client has to make a sales deal with some vendor party, the sales engagement manager is the person the vendor party introduces to help you out through the process but, it does not mean he would keep his company's interest above you. For him, the client is his first priority. He's someone you can put your faith in while conducting 3rd party interactions.
Optimize Your Sales Funnel with Timing your Approach!
Timing is a crucial factor having an impact on the overall sales performance of a firm. A firm cannot compromise on it. By doing so, it will only lead towards debacle. At every aspect of the modern sales funnel, timing is a key factor. From pitching to closing a deal, timing plays a significant role.
4 Killer Sales Productivity Tools for Inside Sales Professionals!
Sales productivity tools have become the vital ammunition for an inside sales team. Today without having effective sales productivity tools could mean that you are going out in the battle without the weapons to fight it with. Such has been the importance of sales productivity tools, and without it any sales force is not ready to fight!
How to get better results with Inside Sales Teams
Inside sales is the practice ground for sales reps to test their sales abilities. It takes a lot to perform one of the most intimidating tasks in business, i.e. cold calling, and to turn it into a sales pipeline for the firm. As a sales rep, your job is to close the deal on a winning note. Different sales reps use different techniques to close deals and not every technique would work for everyone. Therefore a sales rep has to look at his skills and abilities and the resources available while making the sales pitch.
An Overview of Sales Enablement Best Practices.
We're often asked about sales enablement best practices and how to implement them in our daily life sales routine. Well, here it is. We have previously discussed what sales enablement actually means and why does it play a vital role in the sales climate of a company. Today we'll be talking about the best practices in sales enablement and their impact on our overall sales process.
How to Integrate Sales Engagement in your Organization
Sales engagement conventionally falls under the category of sales. In the earlier times, it was limited to cold calling, follow-ups, product demonstrations and sales pitches. However, in recent times sales teams have taken new initiatives that have given sales engagement a completely new dimension.
Sales Engagement is a new term for solving an age-old problem.
It is about those few critical moments in front of the customers. It is about aiding sales reps to capture their target audience and assuring that their company's key messages are communicated purposely and effectively.
Robin Dreeke is the author of "It's Not All About Me". It's a must read for all marketers and sales reps. He suggests the following tips to ensure sales engagement in an effective manner.
Sales Enablement Jobs: Life of a sales enablement professional.
Sales managers are often asked about the nature of sales enablement jobs and the duties of sales enablement professionals. They want to know why these jobs are higher paying and much valued as compared to the job of a simple sales rep. Well, the answer isn't a very difficult one.
As discussed in our previous blog in the sales enablement series, "Sales Enablement is a smooth blend of sales and marketing aimed at bringing more business into the company" which means that a sales enablement representative performs the functions of both marketing and sales along with some extra duties such as content creation, sales training and identifying opportunities for selling across different platforms.
Optimize Your Pipeline Acceleration Process in 2015
Sales Pipeline acceleration has become the need of the moment because firms want to close the sales cycle as early as possible with maximum output. The earlier the sales cycle is closed, the sooner the firm will earn the revenue. A Harvard University study suggests that 25% of sales cycles take 7 months or longer to close. As a sales manager, your job would be not to fall among those 25% of firms. The process is a tough one, but full-scale alignment of marketing and sales departments results in success for the firm.
A brief insight into what sales enablement actually is?
Sales enablement is a concept that's not alien to us sales people today. Every organization has a department which relates to some kind of sales enablement but this does not mean that it's a highly sophisticated technical word. In fact, the concept of sales enablement is a very common one which serves the interests of different sales people diversely.

But then you block it like you're 8 feet tall, homie
Lyric Meaning
This is a direct quote from Jay-Z's verse in Scarface's track; Guess Who's Back which has the same instrumental.
Fabulous is taking a shot at his enemies, saying that their women are all stupid and fake, making a mockery of their pathetic attempt to defend the obvious truth (block it like you're 8 feet tall).

My mother-in-law is filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. I am helping her with the paperwork. I know that she must take a credit counseling course before she files her petition. But she speaks only Chinese (Mandarin to be exact). Are there any agencies that offer credit counseling in Mandarin?
Yes. You can find a credit counseling agency that provides services in Mandarin Chinese (and in Taiwanese and Cantonese) on the website of the U.S. Trustee.
As you already know, your mother-in-law must take a credit counseling course sometime within the 180-day period before she files for bankruptcy. She can meet this requirement by participating in counseling in person, over the telephone, or online. The purpose of the counseling is to explore ways to handle her debt without resort to bankruptcy. Your mother-in-law can still for bankruptcy, however, even if the counselor recommends another course of action.
After participating in the session, the counseling agency will provide her with a certificate of completion; she must file this with her bankruptcy petition or within 15 days of her bankruptcy filing. (Learn more about the credit counseling requirement for bankruptcy, including the rare instances when a bankruptcy filer does not have to get counseling.)
Your mother-in-law must get this counseling from an agency that is approved by the Office of the United States Trustee. You can find a list of approved agencies, by state, on the U.S. Trustee's website. If you click on your state, you'll find an extensive list of providers – but these counseling agencies only provide services in English and Spanish.
To find a list of providers that speak Chinese (including Mandarin, Taiwanese, and Cantonese ), scroll down to the section that says "Approved Agencies Offering Services in Languages Other Than English or Spanish," and then choose "Chinese, Mandarin." Many of the credit counseling agencies only offer counseling in Mandarin over the phone. But this is sufficient to meet the bankruptcy filing requirement.

text: I shot some side-by side shots with a friend with a similar camera; both with current Fuji film, it looks like my lens has a little more flare. I had the opportunity to examine the lens very well when the keeper spring came off the second shutter blade and had to disassemble the shutter. It looks like getting the front two elements apart will be difficult. There are not grooves for a lens-wrench on the lens ring. There are three spots of glue holding the lens ring in place (impervious to acetone). I'll live with a little haze between those two elements for now.
