During the twentieth century the Mexican government invested in the creation and promotion of a national culture more aggressively than any other state in the western hemisphere. Fragments of a Golden Age provides a comprehensive cultural history of the vibrant Mexico that emerged after 1940. Agreeing that the politics of culture and its production, dissemination, and reception constitute one of the keys to understanding this period of Mexican history, the volume's contributors—historians, popular writers, anthropologists, artists, and cultural critics—weigh in on a wealth of topics from music, tourism, television, and sports to theatre, unions, art, and magazines.
Each essay in its own way addresses the fragmentation of a cultural consensus that prevailed during the "golden age" of post–revolutionary prosperity, a time when the state was still successfully bolstering its power with narratives of modernization and shared community. Combining detailed case studies—both urban and rural—with larger discussions of political, economic, and cultural phenomena, the contributors take on such topics as the golden age of Mexican cinema, the death of Pedro Infante as a political spectacle, the 1951 "caravan of hunger," professional wrestling, rock music, and soap operas.
Fragments of a Golden Age will fill a particular gap for students of modern Mexico, Latin American studies, cultural studies, political economy, and twentieth century history, as well as to others concerned with rethinking the cultural dimensions of nationalism, imperialism, and modernization.

Welcome in asviloc plus
AsviLoc Plus project contributes to the South East Europe (SEE) Programme general aim to foster a balanced territorial development and territorial integration within the cooperation area. The Project supports Programme Prority Axis 1 "Facilitation of innovation and entrepreneurship", specifically Area of Intervention 1.3 "Enhance the frame work conditions and pave the way for innovation" aiming at setting up exchange and coordination mechanisms for research, technology and innovation approaches and policies (governance aspect) and to increase public awareness on the importance of technological progress by transnational actions in the area.
Strengthening the capacity of institutions and of the society for innovation is a critical component of overall innovation performance. Missing or lacking (national) innovation strategies are a main characteristic of the programme area's innovation capacity.
Asviloc Plus will make the economic environment of the involved regions more innovation friendly setting up a virtuous circle at regional level where supply of new ideas and demand for new solutions both push and pull innovation.
Target area is dominated by SMEs whose innovation capacity is lower than in large industry. AsviLoc plus seeks to establish qualified and fitting frameworks to motivate SMEs for innovation and to bring them closer to the results of R&D activities.
Main Objectives of the Project are:
- to contribute building up a transnational innovation system starting from the capitalization of the AsviLoc project results and lessons learnt from the EU RIAPs;
- to enhance SEE RDAs role fostering regional innovation system as innovation intermediate, fostering experimentation with the role of catalyst, building on regional assets and needs, linking together relevant actors and framed within a long-term regional strategy;
Specific Objectives:
- raising public awareness of the SEE as a place of innovation growth trough concrete visibility actions;
- creating innovation knowledge network trough the regional laboratories in each target area and matching the needs of different stakeholders focused on innovation and technology;
- increasing competences, skills and knowledge of RDAs staff on innovation issues;
- enhancing of innovation management by transnational planning and the evaluation of specific innovative services, addressed and tested on SMEs aimed at facilitating the innovation entrepreneurship;
- strengthening institutional capacity at regional and local level in delivery innovation policies and programmes;
- improvement the innovation governance supporting, both at local and EU level, policy makers giving suggestions on policies to create an European innovation environment;
- setting up a lasting coordination mechanism for RDAs action.

Healing With Hyaluronic Acid
In patients with neuropathy, particularly neuropathy caused by diabetes, treatments need to include more than one component. If there is a wound, healing the wound is vital. The wound, particularly one on the patient's foot or heel may be treated by offloading (reducing the weight on the wound), debridement (removing dead skin and tissue), medical management, and monitoring of the patient's blood glucose. Other components may include diet and exercise.
Top Tips for Healing:

Tech Vendors Are Only Now Realizing The Full Implications Of SaaS
Product Management Is At The Center Of Changes To Business Models And Innovation
October 12, 2010
Why Read This Report
Software-as-a-service (SaaS) may be a familiar part of the tech industry landscape, but tech vendors are only recently fully realizing the profound changes that SaaS demands. Tech vendors that saw themselves as highly successful innovators suddenly feel the rug pulled from beneath them. SaaS changes the innovation process, while at the same time exposing how poorly vendors understood the adoption necessary to make innovation successful. At the same time, SaaS also changes a tech vendor's business model, forcing reappraisals of pricing, revenue streams, marketing, and other core elements of company strategy beyond product development. Responsible for making sure that the technology and business sides of a technology company both succeed, product managers and product marketers (PMs) play an increasingly critical role in a SaaS world.

AbstractIn this program, Voxtel will demonstrate SOI-CMOS imagers for high-performance star tracking applications. Fabricating CMOS imagers on SOI wafers, allows the device and detector layers to be separated with an insulating layer, so each can be individually optimized and operated with separate ground returns. High QE and high MTF come from backside illumination and depleting the entire volume of detector through substrate bias and high resistivity silicon. SOI-CMOS circuits offer immunization from radiation and SOI-CMOS reduces parasitic capacitances, which eliminates substrate bounce, and transient coupling problems. SOI's planar structure also makes it easier to passivate surfaces for low dark-current. This advantage, in turn, makes the device more resistant to ionizing radiation. SOI also allows ADCs and other functions to be easily integrated on chip without degrading imaging performance. The resulting imagers have higher operating speeds, lower readout noise, and lower fixed-pattern-noise. In Phase I, we will fabricate, characterize, and radiation test prototype SOI CMOS imagers, and we will demonstrate how high frame rate, variable integration time, dynamic windowing enables tracking during high-rate slewing. In Phase II, we will fabricate a fully-functional 2Kx2K, 12-micron pixel SOI-CMOS star-tracking imagers, and we will perform extensive radiation and reliability testing.

The only thing I could complain about is I wish the kitchen would be updated n remodeled from the stove to the cabinets
Keep up the good work!
I've had an extremely pleasant experience - especially compared to other renting experiences. The staff have always been professional and attentive.
However, the "move your car or we tow it" was pretty tacky. My car was NOT towed, but people don't rent because they're swimming in extra cash, so you're harming people who are already working hard to get by. It seemed an unnecessarily harsh tactic.
I have had nothing but wonderful experiences with maintenance. They are so fast and productive. Every problem I've had, no matter how small, they were over quickly to attend to the problem.
Outside of windows and outside light fixtures could use regular cleaning.
What is a Certified Resident?
A resident who lives at the property and has completed a resident satisfaction survey.
Advertising properties provide a list of email addresses of its residents to Kingsley Associates, a third party market research firm, who then sends out the satisfaction survey to the residents. Properties may also conduct satisfaction surveys of its residents through other third party market research firms. In those cases, we will publish those survey responses as long as the questions conform to our standard survey format.
Because reviews are from Certified Residents, and are managed by a third party, you can feel confident that the feedback provided is accurate and trustworthy.
General Directions
From the PA Turnpike, exit #17. Proceed north on Rt. 15 to Wesley Drive exit. At light off exit ramp, turn left onto Wesley Drive and proceed one mile to Royal Drive. Turn left onto Royal Drive and proceed to Lancaster Blvd. Turn right to Oxford Drive and turn left onto Oxford Drive. Our leasing office is on the right.

Artist biography
English painter, writer and teacher. He studied at the Kingston College of Art (1948–50) and later at the Royal College of Art (1951–4), where he was awarded a bursary to travel in Italy. However, he was not very stimulated by the art he saw there and subsequently preferred not to travel; his taste for domestic life in England is reflected in his painting. He worked in a harsh realist style, applying the paint thickly in vibrant colours, and portraying sometimes ugly and desperate faces. He primarily chose his family as subjects and incorporated all the clutter of urban domestic life in his paintings. It was this concern with social realism that brought Bratby into contact with Jack Smith, Edward Middleditch (b 1923) and Derrick Greaves (b 1927), and these artists became the main exponents of the Kitchen sink school. However, while the Kitchen Sink artists shared a desire to depict the banality of a working-class domestic environment, Bratby's use of colours and his more middle-class surroundings distinguished his style from that of his peers. Bratby taught for two brief periods. In the late 1960s he started a series of portraits of celebrities, including the actress Billie Whitelaw; the series developed into a Hall of Fame during the 1970s. He painted cityscapes on trips abroad in the 1980s but concentrated on self-portraits and portraits of his second wife, in intimate poses and with bright colours and an economy of line. Bratby was also a successful novelist.

Excellent tour guide and driver, Fantastic excursion.
June 2016
The tour was great! Our guide was very knowledgeable and able to keep the interest of all the passengers. It was a great way to get the to Heathrow from Southampton. Time well spent!

They met us at our ship in Southampton, took us to three great locations and then to our hotel in downtown London. Very helpful

Tour was excellent and Rob was outstanding as our tour guide!!!
June 2016
aside from the terrible weather we had, we enjoyed all 3 stops. Unfortunately, a traffic accident delayed our arrival at our hotel by about 2 hours. No control over that.
June 2016
We had an incredible trip. Rob McDonald was our tour guide and was excellent. Rob gave us personal tours of Salisbury and Windsor. He was knowledgeable and was a great guide. At Stonehenge he got us done to the monument fast despite long lines and explain the history to us. Upon arriving in London Rob got us very close to where we were staying.

Great way to spend the last day after the cruise. We were picked up at the pier and left promptly. Our tour guide was excellent and funny. It is a packed day with just enough time in each spot but you are getting to see a lot in one day. We were given an hour and a half at Stonehenge which went by very quickly as you have to take a bus out to the stones and back. We ended up grabbing sandwiches and drinks and bringing them on the bus for the 1 1/2 hour journey to Windsor. We were transferred to a car after Windsor and dropped off right at Terminal 4 in Heathrow by 5 p.m. Would highly recommend.

This tour was better than we expected. The tour guide and driver were so knowledgeable. Our guide even helped us to get our luggage into our hotel.

Excellent way to get from the cruise port in Southhampton to London. The tour guide and bus driver were outstanding. I use a portable scooter and I had no problems using it at all three places that we visited. All of these stops are handicap accessible, and the bus driver alway had my scooter waiting for me to jump on. Our tour guide was very informative and both he and the driver were very considerate of everyone and demonstrated kind attitudes. My husband and I loved the tour!

These Life Mystery poems are examples of Life poems about Mystery. These are the best examples of Life Mystery 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 child of four suffers recurring dreams,
disturbing parents and siblings with screams.
When she awoke, always sore in one knee;
next to a birthmark, it throbbed painfully.
Night after night she feared going to bed.
What caused these nightmares that raged in her head?
Even when grown, the torment persisted,
so a therapist's aid she enlisted.
"Hypnosis," said he, "might offer some clues.
Why not try it? You've just bad dreams to lose."
Once under, he guided her to a room --
here people's lifetimes in books were entombed.
"Find one that is yours," her counselor said.
Quickly she did, but before it was read,
she felt an ache, saw just a faint title.
The words, she thought, said "Alister Bridle."
The hypnotic trance now suddenly broke;
puzzling questions "Mr. Bridle" evoked.
For many years she thought that was her name;
perhaps a past life had been filled with pain.
Who was this man? She simply had to know!
Seasons passed, summer suns made way for snow.
In Florida now, 1998,
she thought all the nightmares she had escaped.
But strange dreams always catch us by surprise --
when the lights grow dim, our minds fantasize.
Cloaked in velvet, she left her parents' farm,
stealing away on a late autumn morn'.
To meet her love, she climbed on the carriage,
knowing her folks would forbid their marriage.
Warm-hued leaves carpeted the hillside road,
and her pulse beat fast; she'd soon join her beau.
She thought only of him; joy cast its smile,
but that's when he called, "Alice, the bridle!"
The leather band broke and wrapped 'round her knee.
To the ground she was pulled; her horse ran free.
She met death, but past-life dreams recycle,
and she'd never been "Alister Bridle."

pupils spread wings,
doves float above the Holy Ghost
that illuminates in the sands, the footprints
of whores, lepers, and the downtrodden.
I turned dials, flipped switches of source codes—
bent time and space
to come face to face
with Jesus in Nepal.
Yeah, Jesus and I dropped mushrooms;
he joined me for the ride.
We jumped through the eyes
of the People-In-The-Sky,
and Jesus was brought back to the future
in a DeLorean of Divine Spores.
The Anointed One,
the Redeemer,
the Mushroom King of Kings,
was not at all impressed with 2016:
"Good Lord! People created a religion in my name!?
Temples, rituals and books, all created in my name!?
What a disaster! This is exactly what I am attempting
to move away from.
Those are not my words in that line! Why, I never said
such a thing! How did this happen!?
Father, Oh Father Manitou, why have you forsaken me?
The golden calves still dangle from the Vision Tree."
Clouds churned,
thunder thrummed like the war drums of Cain;
and as lightning arced,
Jesus spilled forth an acidic rain.
His eyes seethed with fury;
an aura of white light shone from him;
it washed over me in waves of euphoria,
igniting an idea in my mind:
Jesus could use the mushroom flux capacitor
to journey back into the past
and rewrite a twist into the plot.
The vampires and zombies
shun me as an unbeliever—a blasphemer—
while they drink the blood and eat the flesh.
I have shed the scales of the living dead,
dropping mushrooms with Jesus.
The cloned church of abomination
dashes apart on the unforgiving surfaces
of plastic and concrete,
of geo-politics, cruise missiles, Prada, and Polo,
while doves and the Holy Ghost
illuminate in the sands, the footprints
of the living word.

There she stands
Centre stage for all to see
Tall and slender
Precariously she balances.
I reach out for her
Draw her to me
My hand skims her body
Slowly reaching her skirt.
Playful fingers find hidden areas
Delighted her legs spring forth
Displaying the very beauty
Of her delicately adorned skirt.
Gaily she dances around
Dizzily twisting and turning
In the brightness of day shading
She gently tends to my needs.
Personal ballerina takes to toes leaping
Merrily bobbing up and down
As emotional to her performance
Clouds cry a thousand tears for her.
Reaching our destination
Slightly shaken, she leans
Watches me quietly drips
Against the wall.
Reminiscent of the day's fulfillment
We acknowledge one another silently
Restful knowing we shall be
One once more.

Scurrying on my way home, a little leaf catches my eye, and I am compelled yet again to slow down.
a whirlwind of thoughts
compete with swaying of trees~
lone leaf on my shoe
I am not sure exactly when my fascination for falling leaves started, there is just something so beautiful and artistic in which they drift to the ground....I recall one particular moment in my college literature class when my professor inquired into my choice of the word "wither" in my leaf metaphor for a dying old couple.
My explanation involved telling him that for me, that particular word had a certain gracefulness to it, and that was how I saw that couple in their twilight years. But I deviate, for I merely intend to write about the interesting tree that I saw the other day. I do not know what species it is, but it bears its berry-like fruits on its branches and it has cordate leaves.
barren branches touch
newborn leaves on other side--
a paradox tree
A smile languidly forms together with my memory of seeing that same tree six days post double-faced state. It proudly donned a full crown of leaves in less than a week. With this image in mind, I can't help but feel mystified, with the constancy and dichotomy of change….It seems like everything around me is continuously evolving, revolving. I can't help but feel lost.
Almost in defiance to this line of thinking, I shake the leaf off my shoe, and trample on it. Instead of feeling satisfied, I feel guilt. I never did forget that Enid Blyton tale of how dried leaves were actually fairies.
littered autumn road
I stomp on the frail fallen….
my feet crushing death
Rolling my eyes with my melodramatic thoughts, I continue my walk home. It's crazy how leaves can make me go philoloopysical. I am tempted to actually stop in the middle of the road and simply sit there—be among the trees as the wind serenades them, with the leaves swaying gently, some choosing to pirouette, some doing the salsa dip.
Being the practical person that I am, I just run my fingers along my wind-discoed hair. If it were possible, I would like to be a leaf. I find such nobility and grace to it. Imagine being able to capture light, transforming energy to create nourishment. Giving, breathing life. There is a delicate artistry with the changing of its colors—a complex, fascinating chemistry in each blade that I'm sure God is so proud of.
eyes gently follow
dying trail of withered leaf;
wind sighs its mourning
I pick up one leaf to remind me...

I saw him on the highway
Thought he was insane
Standing with his thumb out
In the pouring rain
I don't usually stop for hitchhikers
But something said I should
Besides, it was raining awful hard
And the wind was blowing good.
I said, "Hop in, it's cold out there.
Where you headed on this stormy night?"
He said, "Down the road, I really don't care
Just somewhere else will be all right.
I ain't got no license, so I'm travelling kind of slow
They just left me out of prison a few nights ago."
I might not have stopped had I known
Now we were on this dark road all alone.
I didn't know if I was in any danger
But as I drove, I listened to this stranger
He spoke of life and of acceptance
He spoke of sin and of repentance
A story of gratitude and saving grace
And I saw a smile come on his face.
He asked if I'd take him a little farther down
And drop him off in another town
I was already late but I said okay
And I listened to his stories along the way.
When he was getting out he said, "Thanks for the hand.
God will bless you. Soon, you'll understand."
There was a new feeling inside me that I found
And I began to turn my life around.
I stopped at the prison to find out about Jack
And tell him how I got my life on track.
The warden listened and he shook his head
Saying, "I have a hard time believing what you said.
It couldn't be Jack, I'm telling you so.
You see, Jack died this day, eighteen years ago."
Angels come in strange forms sometimes.

A fleeting still small voice tries to warn me
A sudden overwhelming desire to run
The tell tale taste of metallic flakes
Means my nightmare has begun
Everything around takes on a ghostly pallor
A landscape of anguish and corrosion
A moment of silence before the violence
The flash of light, the brilliant explosion
The sound of the Sun fills my ears
Fear, my throat, though none escapes me
And paralyzed I clench my eyes
As my tormentor prepares to rape me
And it's endeavor is absolute
Consumption is its ultimate goal
It exists to chase me so it can erase me
Whilst feasting on my soul
And then that familiar salty smell
The sudden rush of warmth so stings
Engaging me relentlessly
In vile unspeakable things
Over and over and over again
My limbs stretched and wrought
As it's teeth tear my bones bare
It's mind defiles my thoughts
And still wounds beget wounds beget wounds
As in the mouth of madness I suffer
And with every injury he just seems to be
Rougher and rougher and rougher
Then just as suddenly as it began it ceases
And for a moment I am clearer
And then the true horror of it all
Is revealed in a darkly lit mirror
There in front of me stands my destroyer
Face flush with it's fill of my pain
And I find that it's eyes and mine
My God, they're one in the same

are like my thoughts
falling down into my mind
sending goose bumps down
my spine
Their cool aftermath
cleanses me of my thoughts
of fear and uncertainty
about what tomorrows
pain may bring
They make me feel,
wet with creativity
drenched in my optimistic
illumination. glistening
raindrops, my thoughts
leave paths of pleasurable
distress, and hope of success
which road, less traveled
may be the best
Forget an umbrella
when these raindrops
arrive, I walk outside
arms open wide
Ready to Receive
the mind storm may bring
because raindrops are
as my thoughts, falling
down into my mind
sending shivers down
my spine
My brain, yearns
for the rain, to wash away
the pain, tomorrows worry
does bring
One special drop
could speed up life's clock
to the time
I can handle my own
and not dwell inside my controllers
For raindrops are,
like my thoughts
falling down into my mind
sending goose bumps
down my spine

(a conversational collaboration with Christine Ueri)
"remember the dream I had when we were 10?
(waves and waves of cornflowers everywhere)
about the boy and the closet?
(sunflowers, circle, glass house?....closet, yes)
cornflower blue
(the closet was cornflower blue?)
the light in that dream was cornflower blue
(the air, the atmospheric light?)
yes, especially in the closet
I had that dream for so long
I'll never forget
little boy blue and the kingfishers --
the blue and white china plates
with the bridge and the lovers; the two doves in the willow tree,
that made me look for japanese letters....horse.
the funny things we do as children
(you are writing a poem....)
catch the words, my love
(you already wrote a poem up there; bridge it together --
I dried cornflowers with dandelions in a blue and white book; but it wasn't a dream.
Well, in a way it was, because at the time, I was floating in the clouds)
he wore a blue and white striped top in my dream
and I remember him
when I look at the sky,
the clouds and the golden sun --
I caught the words!
(yes! did you string them all together?)
not yet!"

Pleasures of Moving on Moon
You have always charmed us by your beauty, O Moon,
Sometimes fascinating Heer and Ranjha*, and sometimes,
Mesmerizing Romeo and Juliet.
Sometimes you have spread your charms, on the monuments of Love,
Alluring the beauty of Taj*, in the full moon light of Purnamasi*
O, Moon how many faces of Love and Beauty you have,
When you stroll silently on a snow covered maintain,
The beauty and your grandeur becomes envy for the heaven.
For Poets and Writers you have immense stories and inspirations,
For Lovers you are more precious than gold and diamond,
For singers you are like the soul of their songs,
For Boatman's, you are their sole companion of their silence and turbulence.
While watching you so intensely from earth,
I felt, as if I was wondering on the silver surface of you O, Moon,
Moving and feeling, no gush of wind,
No moisture of Rains and dryness of Sun,
No falling of leaves, in the season of Autumn,
No bending of rivers, flowing from mountains to oceans
No murmuring of birds while mating and chatting,
No change of seasons to engage my mind and heart,
Still I was fascinating to move on the silver surface of you, O Moon.
Walking on your surface was a strange experience for me O, dear Moon,
As I was trying to feel the unique pleasures of earth,
While moving on your silvr surface, O Moon.
Kanpur India 22nd November 2010
Soon I will post this as My Photo Poem with the Photograph of Moon on my Blog and on face
book, which I took on 22nd Nov. 2010
• Heer and Rangha. The Indian Lovers like Romeo and Juliet
• Purnamasi. The Day as per Indian calendar, when we can see the full Moon.
• Taj. Refers to the world famous Taj Mehal monument of Agra, India.

When the blackest nightmares were realized
and bitter truth pierced cracked, brittle armor;
When candles of last hope flickered and faded
and darkness closed on the edge of vision;
When despair careened towards insanity
and aching fists and fingers began to slip;
When the abyss called, a mighty hand reached
and lifted me silent to higher ground

it is in this mural of splashing fuses
that I am lit with a solemn torch……
I gaze with back deck musing
but front porch eyes….
I see the distance beyond this world
(my own cosmic existence)
a residence I squandered
but my feet want to tread there
the green that surrounds me
suffuses me with lakeside dew
melodies drifting only the quiet can hear
ripples that only valid observers see
the kentucky breeze carries a lonely wind
where has it been?
has it touched the sand I have?
(bare toes buried)
somewhere a child cries in the still
shattering this serenity
(though some don't hear it)
along the bank of shoal like tranquility
the birds will wail for broken dreams
(severed by thoughtless hands)
oh, its only a portrait
(an inspiring one though)
as open lashes stumble
a horizons sinking sun
multi hues of reckless red and pink
a blue print of what life should be
snap shot deftness in the perception
while beneath lay the sorrow
the last lingering tangerine shades
tease and taunt the tops of dogwood trees
oh beauty as far as eyes can see
a few silver shimmers of clouds
in a blue grass sky
flowers bloom sweet pea and peonies
raw carmine kisses in the silence
pretty pansy faces
and grass is verdant
green!! peacock sage and pine
arrayed in darks and lights
a myriad of different shades
brilliant in its lush velvet on my feet
to only live life this way (skimming surfaces)
just as the honey suckle does
how blissful that would be
(in all its exquisite ignorance)
branches sway in the song of a blue bird zephyr
as the fingers of it caress my skin
this expanse is my companion
but still I perceive it
what lies beneath
in stunning cognizance
bearing a strenuous burden
it is in this mural of splashing fuses
that I am lit with a solemn torch
I gaze with back deck musing
but front porch eyes

"It was 6 or 7 years ago
Or so I'd like to think
I traveled to my eye doctor..
(I should'a seen a "shrink"!!)
My dad and I we awaited
In a filled up waiting room
Patients all a'seat
Magazines all askew
There wasn't much to say there
There wasn't much to do...
Slowly I did notice
Some odd glances made at me...
Some hand-covered conversations...
Some smirks I seemed to see
It made me feel self-conscious
They seemed fixed looking at me in my seat
When slowly I did realize...
That they were staring at my feet...
I looked down, and to my horror
And much to my surprise...
A sight I could not fathom...
I could not believe my eyes!!!
For one foot was well fitted
with tennis sneaker white...
The other a black dress shoe
It was a startling sight!!!
Now I found how hard it was
to hide one's mismatched feet
I wished to God to run out
And escape onto the street
I was red with great embarrassment
and shocked how stupid I could be!
Had I been that darn sleepy?
Or could I just not see?
Then it slowly dawned on me,
Well, darn it, here I sit....
Proves I need an eye-doctor...
and I don't give a sh__......."

Obsessed with the thought of you
wondering if it's only me or
if you sometimes remember the sweet things you've said
and if you meant them how I took them
or if I'm just obsessed with what's in your head
Obsessed with your very sentences
Every response I take personal
I know it's selfishness
Have you not noticed my eyes?
They hold secrets that only you can unlock
if you'd just take time to fill the thick juices of my pride
It's just boiling with lust, passion, trust and distrust
and other things I obsess over so much
I find myself writing to free myself from this prison I've created
where only you and I reside
I become confused about what I'm really feeling inside and I
try to rid the thoughts that are highly debated as false and I
begin to cry and
think of casting love spells so that the universe can deliver this affair
I know it's unfair
but I don't care
I'm obsessed with what hasn't happened between us
I'm obsessed with your heart and that the fact that
I don't think you've even noticed my selfish innuendos
and secret undertones that blatantly express my lust
Or maybe you have and you calmly remain in resistance of distrust
If you could only read my mind by simply touching my fingertips,
I'm sure I'd catch you out the corner of my eye biting your bottom lip
I'm obsessed with the passion and thoughts I think you have
Obsessing over an experience that I may never have....

Haze up in the heavens encircles this orb.
Half-dark, half-light, shines from above.
Twinkles of light appear to absorb.
Fractions of darkness within lighted glove,
Speaking to lovers held in each other's arms.
Answering questions of science to some,
Floating around spreading blessed charms,
Listening close at times, hearing a hum.
Lovers for centuries, graciously, captured by,
Sweet serenity and magical mystery,
Others entranced with secrets, which fly.
From words written and spoken in history.
Satellite, orb, lady, they are all the same.
Mythical goddesses, gripped in flame.
These tales have spread so many games.
This object seen most nights has no shame.

Sad Heart, now thou art wither'd from the Sun,
What man, or god, will near thee run?
Wrought in twist like branches in Tempests' gasp,
What Comfort, or Gauze, shall be near to grasp?
True ones begotten are the ones now Rotten
And the ones now Rotten will never be forgotten
They are merely sad remains of assiduous Tears
That have been meddl'd with and tatter'd Raw throughout the years
And thou, cruel Mind, that sat'st still thru toiling trail of Night;
Must dream your broken Dreams; thou'rt a sanely flight!
Can thou extinguish passions of Fire, Disease, or Rain?
—tho thy distinguish'd influence trains to abstain
Thy Remnants brought to debris in thy Empty street,
Devour'd by Vultures, their bestow'd beaks entreat
Merely are they cleaning an inexhaustible Mess
Alas! Leaving thy rudiments of Identity to redress....

Some lives are like a stone quickly skipping over the ponds top, forever tossed.
My life is below the surface trying to reach upward with each breathe lost.
But there is still beauty, deep down here in the great depths below…
For the solitude holds me in its grip as I dwell with what I know.
My occasional trips to the surface leave me vastly wanting more…
Still, my life below the surface doesn't scare me as it did, once before.
And the breaths will come when given, as my life continues to flow.
True it is dark but beauty lingers, everywhere the currents move below.
At times, the surface reflections seem surreal, as if it's a place not to go.
Comfort comes more and more to my soul, as the deeper I glide below.
Here I dwell within myself, with words, and thoughts, that carry me along.
Perhaps I have found where I truly belong, as I sing my siren songs.

The light is coming and I wish you well...
Behind the running, running man the land
Lies silent, fallow, haunted by the cry
Of one lone mourning rook who flies alone
Inscribing solemn circles in the sky
There is no time to take a backward look
Just running, running, running, running blind
He leaves the flowered garlands that she wove
With ribbons bright, with summer's love, behind
He runs with only hope in empty hands
All faint of heart, with life blood running cold
The chill of winter earth beneath his feet
All water turned to ice in frozen fold
All out of breath with minutes yet to live
He runs, through elder grove and stand of yew
Runs, seeking for the ancient Solstice door
Described in tales the bards and ancients knew
'Till suddenly he stumbles on a glade
All silent where no wild bird wheels or calls
And in the glade there stands a single stone
And on the ground a moon dark shadow falls
And there, within the shadow's light he sees
That which before him other men have found
A stairway leading down in to the earth
A dark descending path in to the ground
No way but down now, this the only way
He gathers one last breath, and full of fear
Goes down the old and foot worn ancient steps
That lead towards the portal of the year
How dark the endless steps of winter's stair
That shadow down, down to the Solstice door
To where, beneath the door a chink of light
Hints soft and bright across the cold stone floor
He sits upon the bottom step to rest
Reflect, and contemplate the year behind
And lo, she comes, bedecked in leaves and fruit
And dancing, dancing, through his weary mind
Forget me not, she sings; I am still here
I wait for you, for life to shift and stir
And through the keyhole and the chink there blows
A fragrant waft of birch and silver fir
Reviving, blessing, soft upon his face
The promise of new life upon her breath
Touched by her grace he weeps upon the step
For she has saved him with her love from death
Another year dies, another lives
He sits and waits; she watches from afar
And as he waits the light in darkness shifts
And creaks the ancient Solstice Door ajar…

How far can you fall and get back up
How high can you jump
And keep your feet in the sand
To touch grace and fall from within
Next to you I was out of my skin
I missed you yesterday and you leave tomorrow
A life spent in the shadows of lushly tint
Smoke your waves
Exhale the freshness of your menthol scent
Home is what you call shelters that need no defense
I'll send
You'll say goodbye
I'll send again
You won't reply
If love
Is the appreciation of another's existence
Then goodbye
Is the anticipation of seeing you again
You and I, we'll cruise the shores
Together we'll settle with the wind
The joy of a small hut, a lovers den
You'll send
I'll wonder why
You'll send again
I will not reply

There are different levels of truth
I climb
Reality is made of thoughts
Spiraling and humming
Like they are something
But in the end
They are all just ideas
Driving to nowhere except
Waiting to be found and
Put into motion
Heights of control
Shift to third and go above
Everyone is an enigma
I fall in affection
With myself
Who am I to ask of perfection?
I is always capitalized
but what if
i is i and we are we, and he, we together
make something different, completely?
Manufacturing lines put together
Vehicles that take soul imprinted notions
on midnight drives by the avenue
Sell them to the Lord, to the Devil
'Tis all the same
For goodness sake, heaven is simply
What we make it

Cockle shell candles and firefly lights
padding the path to the woods
Grass crunched and scattered in weeds and in patterns
of the way every garden should look
Cobblestone herb baths and sleepy old stars
shooting the breeze in the dark
Waiting for someone to wish and discover
the cobblestone path in their heart
Night time is patient and fragile and ancient
with secrets just bursting to share
Turn up the jasmine and glow in the shadows
with eyes open wide to the moon
Luxuries lunar light swinging old stars
parading their final hurrah
Flittering fireflies brush up on moves as they
follow the trails of the heart
Pumpkin shaped lanterns delight the warm eye
orange and gold muted voice
Hanging from tree limbs bent down to oblige
and also to be understood
Fly on with sonar and pipe cleaner wings
soaring above all the lights
Lit up like secrets, hovering, weaving
simplicity's gifts of the night...

I'm in such a state of confusion,
I don't understand what I'm doing
I know your there
And I know you care
But I can't see you
I can't hear you
I just don't know what to do
I know your there in the stillness,
Waiting to heal this illness
There is a deep hole
A sickness in my soul,
Disease in the depths of my heart
But How to fix it
I wouldn't know where to start
How it came to be
Is a deep mystery to me
I know that I am broken
We all are in some way
But rarely are these things spoken
Rarely do I have the courage to say
The secrets kept within
The depths of my sin
But if I hide it how can it be healed
How can the healer heal?
If I keep my heart sealed
What if I let down my shield?
Will I be attacked or disgraced
Or will I be embraced
I'm too scared to find out
To be found out
So I hide my face
I only let people see part of me
I only let people get so close
I don't want them to see
I don't want them to know
And so I end up alone
I've been to the bar, the clubs,
All the social hubs
But no one cares about my hurts
Life's all about chasing skirts,
Fancy cars and nice shirts
Or is there something beyond drunken nights, and flashing lights
Is there something really worth living for, an open door to something more?
An invitation to a new destination
A path to peace, a sweet release
A new life to claim, an escape from the shame
I believe there is, some days I forget
But my life isn't over yet
Tomorrow is a new day
I can live life your way
With love and peace
With guilt and shame released
With a new heart
And a new start
A reason to live
And something to give
To this broken earth
Of invaluable worth
At my very core
I know I was born for more
Than to live and to die
Without knowing why
I don't have it all figured out
But I know without a doubt
That the world needs love
And that love comes from above
Because human love is not enough
That is why there is a deep hole
And a sickness in my soul
But to me has been revealed
The way to be healed
Now I have a mission
A reason for existence
To bring healing to the earth
To the unloved, the broken, the rejected
And tell them what they are worth
So that Jesus' love will be reflected
And this love will give birth
To many people being resurrected,
Redirected and completely accepted
To a wonderful and glorious rebirth

Mystic Tinklings
Mystic tinklings
Ancient echoes from the past
Fleeting inklings
Glimmer just beyond your grasp
Phantom footfalls
When you know that you're alone
Echoed choircalls
Of a long forgotten song
Shadows slipway
From the corners of your eye
Darkened hallways
Hints of time passed by
Brief reflections
Of things you did not see
Vast collections
Of the things that used to be

Slashed by
Uncle Sam
Hard earned wages
Burned as income tax
Cash gone like blowing wind
Tax is not like sweet vermouth
This is just like pulling hen's tooth
Tax going up, paycheck going down
Tax man leave us alone—we need a break!

When darkness falls and finds us all alone,
When the heart becomes a small grey stone ...
Bravery is all there is.
When thunder shakes the windowpanes,
When those we love lie wracked with pain ...
Bravery is all there is.
Bravery concedes its fear;
Does not attempt to hide its tears.
Bravery is born of holding calm,
In quietly, doggedly, carrying on.
When reason fails to light the dark,
When the answer is a question mark ...
Bravery is all there is.
When justice seeks to rule in vain,
When sorrow sweeps the roiling brain ...
Bravery is all there is.
Bravery trembles while it stands,
Accepts what it cannot command.
Bravery bears its burdens well,
Looks not to see if others tell.
Be brave then, Mystery asks of us;
Face the unknown with silent trust -
For at the End, there is only this:
Bravery is all there is.
Bravery is all there is.

How ironic? Has God ever fallen in love?
I am sure the supreme power does have a clue about love.
Then why are many struggling with questions that have no answers.
If certain sensations are not meant to be then why does one have to go through it?
Or is it a good way to put a check list on Karmic activities.
One's feeling doesn't seem to make any sense and the restless notion only brings discomfort.
Even though some things seem so right and pulls one toward a make believe world,
Attempts and efforts don't seem to fade away.
It is with the tornado of genuine feelings that keep the tingly feeling of love alive.
So does God understand this?
Even though modernization has struck onto the minds of many,
The devotion and willingness to surrender to that person develops a passionate and overpowering desire.
The sweet and sour, or bitter and sweet emotion creates fear or questions fate again and again.
Once the brave feeling has been awakened and humble efforts have been tried upon,
One cannot fight destiny, but can hopefully open a new change to Karmic policies.
As time goes by, one notices that it is no more days, weeks, months, but years that has shaken the foundation of a belief that finally love will conquer over the negativity,
Love is the feeling that has no answers but only a precious sensation is felt.
Again no answers, but more questions and experiences are shown and learnt in every way.
There must be something better stored for everyone that is why one walks through a chain of tests.
Happy living and sustain that positive attitude.

Flowers bloom
And flowers wilt.
Flowers blush
And flowers fade.
The eternity is only in me-
The twig that bears the flowers.
Sparrows are born
And sparrows die.
Sparrows fly
And brighten the sky.
That who nurtures sparrows is me-
A cozy make of a twig upon a twig.
The sun fades
And moon is born.
The twilight blurs
And moonlight spreads.
All the soothing moonlight beams are me-
A crisscross of unfathomed twigs.
Whether in its birth
Or in its death;
In the heart
Of its heart;
The entire beauty is none but one-
A design of mysterious twigs.

Halo: Reach - Bradbury predicts celebrity massacre
The Halo: Reach premiere takes place in London this evening (9 September) with a head-to-head battle between a team of celebrities and some of the best Halo players in the country.
And, according to The Gadget Show's main-man, Jason Bradbury - who will line-up in the celeb team - there is only going to be one winner. And he's pretty adamant that it won't be his troop.
"I can only be honest," he told Pocket-lint. "We're gonna get our arses handed to us on a plate. We're not just gonna lose. The celebrity team is gonna lose so catastrophically and obviously that it will make people laugh out loud. That's actually the truth."
Bradbury also expressed concern that his own gaming reputation is in danger, even if he did admit that his prominence was mainly based on self promotion, describing himself as the Alastair Campbell of the gaming world.
"I'm identified as one of Britain's most famous high-profile gamers, so I have to represent," he said.
"I can't just be rubbish. It doesn't matter what the other celebs are like because they're not connected with it in the way that I am, so I've got to do well."
Bradbury admitted that the celebs team only chance of success was riding on the shoulders of Lewis Chapman, the chap who won the Halo Looking for a Leader contest, who captains the celeb team and is regarded as the UK's no.1 Halo player.
Bradbury claimed that Chapman might be able to carry the team, Rambo-stylee, and that we should expect the unexpected.
"Here's the thing," he said. "There could be one of those moments that you get in any tournament where the underdog – the vastly overpaid, glamorous underdog – just comes together in one moment, with Lewis at the helm, and pulls of something just that little bit interesting.
"It might happen. There could be a Jamaican bob-sleigh moment in it."
The event takes place in central London and Pocket-lint will be on hand to witness first hand how the celebrity team, which includes Ben Cohen, Mr Hudson and Jameela Jamil, as well as Bradbury and Chapman gets on.
We have to admit that we're with The Gadget Show presenter on this one. It can only end badly for the celebs.
Rio and the gang are gonna get merked.

This diorama I have built yesterday is for Fatherday (which is today). I'm happy with the result, but in my thoughts it would be much more impressive. I'm not thinking to break it off, because later I'm going to add trees and perhaps mountains on one side. My father was very pleased with it, it is going to stand in our living room for a few weeks.
(Good) critism and tips are welcome.
Oh, yes: the man with the hammer is a sentence which is said a lot in the cyclingsports: when you meet the man with the hammer you get exhausted in a short time.

From Our Editors
Since opening in 1996 as a barbershop, Solaris Hair Salon has undergone a complete renovation and added women's salon services, manicures, and spray tanning. Owners with more than 20 years in the beauty industry run the salon, where a team of stylists suits facial features and styling preferences when they render men's, women's, and children's haircuts. They pull from a library of more than 500 hair colors; Chi Ionic's shades are ammonia-free, and Clairol Professional color has a soy complex that conditions and adds shine to hair.
At the salon's manicure stations, nail technicians coat digits with regular or Shellac polish, and perform specialty manicures such as an anti-aging version with antioxidant-rich grapeseed oil and pomegranate exfoliant. The team also administers spray tanning from Fake Bake, which enriches skin with a paraben-free botanical blend that promises not to turn orange, like the chameleon you're hiding in the grass.

It was All Saints Day on Sunday, the day we pause to remember our church's dearly departed. A hush fell over our small sanctuary.

These Boots Are Made For …
I sit alone in my car, in a parking stall outside the farm-supply store. I will find out the doctor's answer in 30 minutes. I lean my head back, close my eyes and ask the question out loud: "Lord, what am I supposed to learn from this? What's the take-away here?" I ...Read More

When You Realize Heaven is Here
We had our seatbelts securely fastened, and tray tables in their upright and locked positions when we left. It was before dawn's first light. We winged our way east — all four of us. I opened the shade of my window to pre-dawn darkness and a thick fog. I thumbed through a Delta Sky ...Read More

Why I Don't Want to "Rest in Peace"
Can you do me a favor, my friend? If I die before you, can you make sure they don't put the letters RIP on my gravestone? Can you ask the preacher not to say the words: "May she rest in peace?" Yes, I plan to go to Heaven, and no, I don't want to […]Read More

The London post-punk quartet show off their thrillingly dark clatter, which recalls The Slits and Siouxsie And The Banshees as well as noisier bands like Dead Kennedys and Sonic Youth. Following their furious and essential debut album 'Silence Yourself' they've made a new LP, 'Adore Life', of which you'll hear plenty at this headline date.
