Football does impart crucial lessons for political campaigning. It implores politicians to stay focused on winning, advises them to discount all pre-election noise, pay attention to all parts of their organization and always think before they act.
Football's status augurs well for the future international standing of America. This is because football teaches the significance of time management, the importance of teamwork and the imperative to cultivate mind and body.
It's that time of year when die-hard college football fans and die-hard NFL fans (some of which are one in the same) come together and debate endlessly about the draft and the players in them that can help NFL teams win games over the next 5-10 years.
The NFL has a huge and growing ecological footprint in an age when the planet and the grandkids can't afford it.
Going into Super Bowl XLVII, some interesting trends have cropped up on the secondary ticket market, with special significance for fans still looking to grab a seat. On Sunday night, the average price paid for a Super Bowl XLVII ticket was $3,223.
It's no secret the Vikings will feed Peterson the football as much as possible, but what happens when Peterson doesn't have the ball will determine the Vikings' offensive success against the Packers.
The Bears offense under Jay Cutler has been ranked near the bottom of the NFL since he arrived in 2009. His continuing free pass in a city that chews up quarterbacks is mystifying.
As three point underdogs that do not even lose by a full point on average, Chicago covers the spread 56.1 percent of the time. With 52.4 percent needed to justify a wager, this would warrant a $39 play from a $50 player.
In case we missed the text, an all-out air assault has blown away ground and pound in the NFL -- passing and receiving stats keep exploding through its domed roofs. Today's NFL is mostly about the rocket's red glare, bombs bursting in air.
Santonio Holmes, Jets wide receiver, Cedric Benson, running back for Green Bay and Carolina center, Ryan Kalil all have something unfortunate in common; they recently suffered Lisfranc injuries.
This week, I turn 28-years-old, which means it's time to reevaluate life and consider how everything's going to change in my maturity.
One of Payton's motto's throughout his tenure in New Orleans has been: "Do your job." Without his daily leadership however, it seems as if his message has been either misplaced or completely forgotten.
Republicans' reaction to last week's Monday Night Football debacle was record-breaking given their decades of hating on union workers.
Americans should be just as eager to see real Congressmen and women in Washington who want to serve the people, just as much as they're eager to see the real referees back on the field. Even anti-union Governor Scott Walker wanted the union refs back.
As the replacement ref saga comes to an end, I thought it'd be constructive to take a look back at the bounty of bad calls handed out.
Americans may best grasp ideas that emerge from something they really care about. Public policy, economic power and social compact morality? Meh, not so much. But pro football? Now there's something about which Americans care passionately.

Our latest investigation in to the sleep habits of the nation took a look at the controversial issue of co-sleeping with children, and uncovered a number of surprising statistics. We found that the average age that a child stops sleeping in their parents' bed on a regular basis is over 7 years old, and that many parents lie about the situation to friends and families.
Overall, some 87% of our 2740 respondents said that their child had slept in the parental bed at least once. The reasons behind allowing this to happen were varied, with the top five being;

Should children sleep in their parent's bed or should they sleep alone? This is a very common debate amongst mums and dads throughout the world and contrasting views are often disputed in schools, nurseries and on parenting forums.
In terms of baby sleep, the NHS states that the safest place for a baby to sleep is in a cot on their back. They also recommend that a baby sleeps in the same room as a parent for the first six months of their life. Although the NHS don't actively discourage parents from sharing a bed with a baby, they do however emphasise that a cot is the safest place for them and state never to share a bed with a baby if you or your partner have consumed alcohol, taken drugs or if either of you have a smoking habit.
Although it may be less safe for a newborn baby to sleep in their parents bed than it is for them to sleep alone in their cot, this doesn't really apply when it comes to toddlers and older children. There is really no right or wrong answer when it comes to parent and child co-sleeping and it is important to do whatever works for your family. 'Attachment parenting' is a growing trend which is based on the importance of the attachment theory in developmental psychology and aims to help children to form a healthy emotional bond with their parents, the technique involves parent and child co-sleeping.

One of the important factors influencing perceptions of the existence of an ethical climate is leader behaviors. It is argued that paternalistic leadership behaviors are developed to humanize and remoralize the workplace. In various studies, leadership behaviors and climate regarding ethics were evaluated as antecedents of organizational commitment. In this sense, the purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between paternalistic leadership behaviors, climate regarding ethics and organizational commitment. Data were obtained from 142 individuals. Results indicated that benevolent paternalistic leadership had a moderate effect on affective commitment and strong effect on continuance commitment. Moreover, it was found that paternalistic leadership had an effect on the perception of an ethical climate. Strong relationship was found between climate regarding ethics and affective commitment; moderate relationship was found between climate regarding ethics and continuance commitment. Finally, results indicated that climate regarding ethics had a mediating effect between benevolent paternalistic leadership and affective commitment.

Germany's Marcel Siem extended his Trophee Hassan II lead to four shots on Saturday as a third round 69 also kept alive his hopes of making a maiden Masters appearance.
The 32-year-old Siem, who needs to win on Sunday to climb into the world's top 50 and earn a ticket to Augusta, finished the day on 15 under par, a round boosted by four birdies in six holes around the turn at the Golf du Palais Royal.
Spain's Pablo Larrazabal, 2011 champion David Horsey of England and Finland's Mikko Ilonen are all grouped in second place.
After Siem had bogeyed the first, Horsey and Ilonen joined the German in a share of the lead.
But once the leader had hit two long birdie putts at the seventh and ninth to turn one ahead, his rivals struggled to stay in touch.
Siem extended his lead with a birdie at the long tenth before striking his tee shot to within a foot of the 12th pin.

I purchased Source Naturals Bromelain to use after blepharoplasty (to reduce inflammation and bruising). It worked very well for the purpose, but even better, I noticed a complete absence of allergy symptoms with no side-effects. Another bonus is that it kills a headache faster and better than ibuprofen. Great product, excellent price.
This enzyme really helps my digestion. This product is very reasonably priced.

Three little brown girls, probably no older than 11 or 12, recline in lounge chairs on my apartment rooftop deck, rapping word-for-word with Nicki Minaj as she growls expletives and purrs sexual innuendo from a boom box. It's 10 o'clock on a Sunday night.
Minaj isn't exactly mentor material. But just a few blocks away and a week earlier, six of the dopest MCs in Atlanta's indie scene met, per CL's invitation, to address the much-hyped anomaly of the female MC.
The irony is that staHHr, Lyric Jones, Khalilah Ali, Sa-Roc, Adrift da Belle and Boog Brown represent the best of what hip-hop has to offer. Not just because they're the antithesis of Nicki Minaj, but because they also happen to be need-to-know artists in their own regard.
In recent years, the industry-perpetuated myth is that female MCs are a dying breed. Even BET, long fingered as a culprit, aired last year's documentary "My Mic Sounds Nice" to highlight the void. But take a good look inside the nation's nooks and crannies, and the hypothesis doesn't hold water. Case in point: A recent article in the British newspaper the Guardian shines a light on Detroit's wealth of female hip-hop talent. But in doing so it makes the mistake of drinking the Kool-Aid by suggesting that Detroit is the only city in the country with such a wealth of talented femcees. Staking claim to hip-hop bragging rights is one thing; allowing the tail (industry) to wag the dog (culture) is another.
And in Atlanta, several of the reigning kings within the independent hip-hop scene just so happen to be queens. Since they frequently perform and collaborate on projects together, it felt more like a family reunion than a roundtable as a mix of scene stalwarts and emerging newcomers gathered at Cloud IX Lounge in Castleberry Hill on a Sunday afternoon, the last day of HipHop Appreciation Week. Brick City native Adrift Da Belle entertained staHHr's toddler son while mommy went to the restroom. Sa-Roc and Boog Brown — both accidental MCs, though you'd never guess it — took their turns with the photographer while MC/English professor Khalilah Ali, and perhaps the only artist here young enough to be her student, Lyric Jones, sits in front of a laptop watching the video to Beyoncé's latest ladies' pop anthem, "Run the World (Girls)."
"When I became serious about rap, I saw staHHr's "Still Dope" video, and I was like, 'What? She is crazy!'" said Sa-Roc. "And then when I met all of these sisters. When I heard their music, it was like iron sharpening iron."
All of which leads me to believe that if there are so many dope female MCs hidden in plain view in Atlanta — mainstream rap's reigning capital — the same must be true throughout the nation.
Of course, any conversation that revolves around gender bias within an industry tends to paint females as victims. My first and only interview with noted New York indie rapper Jean Grae went horribly several years ago when I made the unenlightened query, "How hard is it being a female in a male-dominated industry?" Men think we're being sensitive to the plight of women when we ask questions like that. We sound dumb as shit.
"Let's not be naïve about the industry we're dealing in. It's wicked, wicked, wicked," said Ali. "I'm 20 years in, this is 20 years here. I've had a million different names, a million different incarnations, a million different outfits, a million different hairstyles. I've been everybody and anybody. And I'm telling you, there's an evil you can't even conceive of 'cause the industry is built on 'How can I manipulate people?' And as an artist, we're often at the bottom of the totem pole."
And in fact, while many of these women talk about the difficulties of working in the industry, they're much more interested in shouting out the men in the scene who have helped them along the way. "When I first came here, I was wack as shit," said Boog. "I just hadn't found my voice yet. But when I got here and I started working on music, Illustrate was the first producer I ever worked with that was like, 'Yeah, that shit's dope — redo it.' Most of my influences are males just because that's just what I listen to."
But there's no doubt the tension between staying true to an artistic vision and assimilating to the mainstream weighs heavily on their minds.
"I get a lotta pressure," said Adrift. "I got a lot of people coming at me, like, 'Driftee, you're so pretty. You could do this, you could do that.' People don't know, but before I came [to Atlanta] I was being looked at by Def Jam [Records]. I was being looked at by [50 Cent's] G-Unit. And the trade off was, be Nicki Minaj. And I was like, 'Fuck that, I got a little sister.' So like I was saying, as an indie artist, I'm gonna do what the fuck I want to do."
As I listened to these women talk, it struck me: Perhaps the reason why there's such a dearth of female voices within the mainstream is because most emerging artists aren't willing to sacrifice the integrity necessary to get there.
Lyric: I want to be able to get to a mainstream level and do what the fuck I wanna do.
staHHr: When you get mainstream, you are not gonna have more control. Because if that was the case then why would all these mainstream rappers still keep doing the same regurgitated thing?
Boog: I will say as artists, like if you look at Erykah Badu, she does what the fuck she wants to do.
Khalilah: But she came out like that. That's how she started. So you've gotta figure out who you're going to be.
Boog: She started with the headwrap and the locs and everything, and then next thing you know she's walking down Houston Street with her ass out.
Going mainstream for female rappers almost always means a commoditization of sexuality. Males only have to be willing to barter in aggression and misogyny — stereotypes that tend to amp up their perceived masculinity in the marketplace.
"Hip-hop eats its young and disrespects its elders," said staHHr, who's been active in the scene the longest. "That's just my opinion. Maybe I'm a little bit older, maybe I might be a little bit bitter. I just think as an indie artist I have way more leeway than I would ever have as a mainstream artist."
For women, the stakes are much higher. There's a damn good reason why Nicki Minaj is frequently criticized for being a carbon copy of the sexually explicit queen bees before her. Now she's modeling the same role for a future generation of female wordsmiths.
But I know three little girls on a rooftop deck that could stand to hear something different.

AbstractWe propose to develop an exoskeleton device that significantly reduces the load the user bears while introducing a negligible metabolic impact. The proposed device employs a novel approach to the issues associated with excessive loading and represents a significant deviation from previous attempts to meet this need. We will develop a lightweight lower extremity exoskeleton for load carriage assistance at a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6. The device will weigh less than 25 lbs, be able to carry more than 100 lbs, include no active power elements, and be tailored fit the operator. Furthermore, we will provide integrated attachments for customized armor so that the exoskeleton will optimally carry the armor weight. By pursing an integrated approach, we will insure that the armor is both well positioned and well supported.

NEW YORK (AP) -- The nation's crude oil supplies fell last week, the government said Wednesday.
Crude supplies decreased by 1 million barrels, or 0.3 percent, to 371.6 million barrels, which is 14.9 percent above year-ago levels, the Energy Department's Energy Information Administration said in its weekly report.
Analysts expected a decrease of 2.3 million barrels for the week ended Dec. 14, according to Platts, the energy information arm of McGraw-Hill Cos.
Gasoline supplies increased by 2.2 million barrels, or 1 percent, to 219.3 million barrels. That's 0.4 percent above year-ago levels. Analysts expected gasoline supplies to grow by 2 million barrels.
Demand for gasoline over the four weeks ended Dec. 14 was 2.9 percent lower than a year earlier, averaging 8.5 million barrels a day.
U.S. refineries ran at 91.5 percent of total capacity on average, up 1.1 percentage points from the prior week. Analysts expected capacity to be unchanged.
Supplies of distillate fuel, which include diesel and heating oil, shrank by 1.1 million barrels to 117 million barrels. Analysts expected distillate stocks to increase by 1.5 barrels.
Benchmark crude futures rose by $1.36 to $89.76 a barrel in New York.

I'm looking for a way to enable NetBios on all servers in my domain for a limited time of about a month and later i am supposed to disable it again (it is used by some inventory application we are using). Do you have any idea how to achieve this goal? Powershell script would be nice.
The following script will do what you want via PowerShell. You will need a text file with the name of each server on a line. The script assumes that there is one active NIC on each system. If you have multiple active NICs, you would need to loop through them, setting on each.
If you have all of your servers in one OU, you could use the QuestAD cmdlets to pull all of them into the $computers variable, then pass the name that way.
Use Wmic
Create a separate text file that contains a CSV list or a carriage-return-delimited list of computer names called
Then run the following commands from an appropriate permissioned account:
When you are done change the above code to SetTcpipNetbios to 2 (disabled). (0 is set via DHCP)

Freespire 2.0 with Proprietary Components
US distributor Linspire has finally released version 2.0 of its free Linux variant Freespire, three months behind schedule.
Freespire is designed for use on desktops and laptops and claims to be newbie-friendly. The new version is the first to be based on Ubuntu Linux (7.04). Besides updated program packages the distribution's unique selling point, according to Linspire, is the integration of proprietary software. Freespire supports MP3, Windows media, Quicktime, Java, Flash and Realplayer files. Proprietary add-ons include drivers for ATI and Nividia graphics cards. Users can visit Linspire's CNR ("Click and Run") software warehouse to purchase and install more proprietary programs including DVD players, Sun's Staroffice or Wine-based helpers for running Windows programs, such as Cedega or Crossover.
"Freespire 2.0 picks up where Ubuntu leaves off", says the new President and Linspire CEO, Larry Kettler, "by adding proprietary software, drivers and codecs, to make for a more complete turn-key solution for mainstream desktop computing". This is very much in key with former Linspire boss Kevin Carmony who recently left the company. Carmony had criticized GPL v3 in a Linspire saying that the free software license was too restrictive with respect to the use of proprietary software.
Linspire's close integration of Ubuntu is the result of a technological cooperation agreement that Canonical and Linspire signed in early February. According to the original roadmap the commercial Linspire 2.0 was due for release four weeks after the free variant. Freespire 2.0 can be downloaded from the company.

In the dark of night a wind took hold,
With powers charged to shake the sky,
By moody swings of gods up high,
Their breath alone enraged and bold.
In the dark of night history spoke,
Of a world alive with fury's voice,
When life was full of fate and choice,
And death the augur in the smoke.
In the dark of night a man did dream,
Whose tale these words we now account,
Be brave my friend this chariot mount,
By nothing less shalt this vision redeem.
Struggling through the combative gales,
A sleepless figure tossed and rolled,
With wondering sight a story was told,
Of mysteries shrouded in ancient tales.
Upon this figure two more did glare,
Faces are but vessels for orbs to divine,
Not sufficient to be one through design,
Two alive but so unlike to us stare.
These twins that see by darkness alone,
Feel the truth in the shine of art,
Ending where the few dare start,
These bright globes make gold of stone.
With raging winds our story begins,
The battle set both within and out,
The world's pictures thoughts about,
Action the habits, blindness the sins.
With Boreas alight wandering above,
A divine force teased with subtle math,
To follow the Phoenix on its path,
Or kneel in tears with a praying dove.
The tempest in all its mighty flight,
Decreed with a fist the obvious!
So proud, so proud, yet so oblivious,
The storm forgets his humble birthright.
The wild winds be but a paper tiger,
The hands that give it mighty thrust,
Wields no whip to allure its trust,
Holding a low cup, a cat just finds her.
Such be the crispy breeze in deed,
To roar, puff, blow things down,
Seeking doors to equilibrium's town,
When heat in fact needs cold to feed.
Wind seeks the muse of inspiration,
A lull, then a rush to arms to end,
Her charms the air does commend,
She whispers with bated respiration.
Such my friend is the temperate truth,
The tempest being no storm cries,
For its maker with love sees its lies,
The swordsman's tail swings uncouth.
With no further aside we now return
To one whose sleep our vision seeks,
Into this mind the devil now peeks,
Intellect put off so symbols could turn.
Seeking passage to dreamlands alter,
Further and further the eyes withdrew,
A fatherly vessel, twos sons the crew,
A ship who by one one would fault her.
The tides of reflection ebbed no more,
For the two in one the world was gone,
Sands of sleep their eyes set upon,
Dreams for obeying in days to store.
'Saw the one, the troubled of the two,
Again vain Boreas with eyes asquint,
Forged to see not flowers but mere mint,
An ignoble man, through and through.'
'His drifting eyes of warrior bent bow,
Blind to the combat of peaceful keys,
Gazed upon Orithyia ready to seize,
The light by which he would never know.'
'In one fell swoop he swept upon her,
An immortal force not fit to engage,
Death by shock, a rose in a cage,
A sword can never a heart procure.'
Tailors we know make not the man,
Nor, to wit, does he who blow impress,
The finest garments fit best to undress,
The suitor, naked, conception's plan.
The warrior's blood once led the world,
What man wanted man merely took,
By far better ways the world was shook,
Now only fools let their swords unfurl.
Still within us sleeping reptiles wink,
Side by side the peace laying dove,
Whose golden egg sits on a glove,
Disarming the insults men might think.
Yet by tinted thoughts some still fall,
There walk among us wanting men,
Who touch stones instead of women,
Blind fools like statues they do install.
To such a fellow we now must return,
By unlucky choice he cast his dice,
Gambling rage would make life nice,
His heart of fire for ice would burn.
The I then of the one who took control,
With eye inclined to dote ambition,
In Boreas he saw worthy commission,
Jewels taken justly by godly parole.
'Reading now the face of himself,
Pleased to see opportunity's chance,
His office in life he wished to enhance,
His brother's book push'd off the shelf.'
"This world is made for the taking,
By will alone my will will be done,
A wild beast untamed I roam alone,
But not for long my flight in staking."
'Fighting the angel by his side,
He saw in Boreas a better figure,
With sharp mirror set to disfigure,
The Abel eye, his far better guide'
'Eager as a dog ready to surprise,
Our hero set off to execute his plan,
With canine teeth and on four he ran,
To she who soon would be his prize'
To think a surprise can live in a dog,
Is like seeing a rat for a filet mignon,
So deluded a man can appear to one,
Whose rose is above all mist and fog.
'With tongue wild about he grabbed,
The hand intended for him that night,
So sure his lust would disarm a fight,
So shocked to see her smile stabbed'
"Unsightly hair-chested beast you are,
Withdraw from here in haste and fast,
Better to drown alone in seas outcast,
Then with you fly off with fettered tar."
"Listen little man, listen with your ears,
Give not violets your muscular arms,
Whispered fumes make better charms,
Graceful words for love sheds tears."
"Fear most of all power's delusion,
For the deluded become denuded,
Gaining nothing, nothing included,
Power wins only a life in seclusion."
"Go to thy chamber, scream and yell,
Amend, however, by all smart means,
Your spiteful mean loveless routines,
Thou art but a mute, a soundless bell"
'With reproof in hand he up and went,
To vent the gales in charge of him,
The dogfight over with outlook dim,
He saw his brother of different bent.'
'Reaching for the floor the fallen book,
Whose pages spoke a turtle's tongue,
The unread by thorny bees are stung,
So wiser he for counsel stole a look.'

Now as the years passed by everyone became so tired
the heaps of things scattered around became too much to bear
some benevolence was certainly grand but this was too much
the two felt unable to undertake the long arduous journey
so it was agreed their sons Bam and Muss would go
setting out they followed their fathers footsteps back to the cave
Eventually they arrived at the bottom of the valley to see just ruins
Bam said " Lets look for tracks" and soon they found a path
Travelling for days they followed it deep into new territory
until in the far distance they saw some huts in a clearing
As they approached they were surrounded by the natives
who took them to the Shaman who said " I foresaw your coming"
Seated they feasted and chatted telling the Shaman about their fathers
like them they found the food very hot and spicy gulping down the coconut brew
and drifted off into a mysterious sleep that took them back to the monolith
entering through the gate of light they found the Druids gathered
and saw the Tree of Life was half restored. " Your fathers did well " said the Druid
" but things still need to be Adjusted. We have one gift for you to take back "
"It is the gift of Tranquillity together with Benevolence it will help restore the balance
but you will need to journey on from here to the spirit world and talk to the old Gods
and with a bright flash the Druids vanished leaving one shiny stone on the ground
the young men picked it up and found themselves once more spinning through time
until they found themselves in a very strange land. Here was the home of the Gods
mighty Jupiter roared " You men are fools with your wanton destruction of things."
"Yet you come to us expecting our help in putting right the world's balance."
Mars the mighty war god then spoke " There are three tasks you must complete
before we will help you. First you must clean out the Royal Stables and re-bed them"
The young men set to work it took them five days to complete this onus task.
Returning to Mars who hummed and accepted their work with praise. "Now go
to Venus she will give you your next task, mind she is a hard goddess to please."
When they met her she looked at them and laughed. " Never have I seen such
puny specimens. I doubt you have the strength to complete even a simple task.
Still if you you succeed you will be nearer your goal, and she pointed at a rocky
place, clear this and make me a garden I am bored of having no where of beauty
to sit and reflect and to entice my lovers into my arms. Build it so I may sing my songs and enthral the heart of Thor too long he has been impervious to my whiles. "
Bam and Muss started to clear the site but there was one rock that was massive
it defeated all their attempts to smash it up or even to roll it out of the way
so they went to the Royal Stables and explained their plight to Hermes " That
is easy" he said " Take twenty horses they will soon remove it for you, mind
you feed them well or they will cease to work for you. They need the freshest
hay grown from the clover fields A ton or two will do the trick and keep them happy."
First it took them another week gathering in the sweet hay which they then fed
to the Royal Steeds. Already happy with their clean stables they were happy to help.
In no time at all they cleared away the massive bounder leaving the ground ready
now it needed to be tilled and planted. Soon the ground was ready and flowers of
rare beauty began to grow spreading enticing smells and the Gods were pleased.
"All it needs now are some benches and arches and a lovely fountain then I will
surely ensnare Thor's heart." At last all was done to her commands and Thor
wandered over and seeing Venus sat near the fountain was captivated by her
charms. Of course they had one more task and this one was for Thor himself.
He wanted a new thunderbolt spear made of the finest silver from Hades mines
Hades said they could mine as much as needed in return for their hard work.
At last after many hours of toil the had the silver needed now it needed to be forged
and tempered. For this they needed a furnace and blacksmith so they asked Vali
for his help. He started a mighty fire in the furnace and when it was hot enough
added the silver and when ready forged it into a mighty spear. "Here take it to Thor"
he said. Thor was delighted with it and said " You have completed your tasks here
is the gift of Temperance take it and restore your world's balance and harmony."
They picked it up and were whisked through time back to the lake. They hastily made two more shrines and placed the rocks inside their safety, immediately they all started to glow. They could feel the currents emitting from the rocks and over time harmony
returned and the Tree of Life began to again thrive and protect.
Returning to their village they recounted all to their fathers who were amazed
that the Shaman and his people remembered them. They were amazed by all
that their sons had done to bring this about and celebrated their feats. Now
Temperance took care of people's overboard Benevolence bringing in its wake
Peace and Prosperity (and no more piles) while the gift of Tranquillity brought
Happiness and Love and so the Natural balance of things was restored
I hope you all have enjoyed this epic if only it was so easy to put the world to rights
we would have an even lovelier world

The Holiest Dance
Come out and dance, children of the New World.
Come out brothers, sisters, old and young.
Come dance and call back your dead.
Wheel and turn in long slow movements,
Passing through one another like eagles in flight,
Sailing over the endless plain.
Dance in rhythm, dawn to sunset
Wearing the sacred Ghost Dance shirts
Flapping in the grey cold mist lifting
As the sun climbs into the bluing skies.
Dance in the magic shirts their bullets won't penetrate,
Your protection from the great New God,
Who has forsaken His White Ones, adopting you as His own.
He has given them over to his enemies
For they have betrayed HIm,
Given His son over to His enemies and turned from His words.
Now He walks with us to make us strong again,
We His children now.
Dance, Dance, Beloved Ones,
All the day and into the night
Calling to the Dead, the Gone-Before.
They stand close to us now, - can't you see them?
The shadows of yesterday drawn close by your hope?
Can't you feel them gathering close by the fires
As the days out in wild, smoking skies
As you dance together, calling their names,
Calling them back to the light,
To the dreams and fears and loves of life
While the stars come out to keep their watch
Bejeweling the night with their cold sweet shine
As you dance and dance and dance
Until exhaustion claims your bodies with a faint.
No matter: the good times come and with that knowledge
The sweet dreams go one, even in collapse.
Dance, children, dance all together, safe in the magic shirts
Adorned with strange magic symbols
Our Fathers' Fathers knew so well.
Their power returns with your belief
And the Whites are afraid, for once.
They don't understand this, they feel something is wrong,
But they cannot grasp what is happening.
That must be our secret - they'll find out soon enough.
When their well-deserved ruin overtakes them.
Enough for now to be patient and tread lightly near them,
For they are easily moved to destroy anything that puzzles them too much.
Dance and Dream.
Sing and grow stronger.
Sing sweet, wheeling under the stars:
Father, have pity on me,
I am crying for thirst,
All is gone; I have nothing to eat.
Wovoka's spirit will hear and smile. Sing on:
The Father will descend,
The Earth will tremble,
Everybody will arise,
Stretch out your hands.
The Spirits hear. Can you feel them gathering?
The crow! Ehe'eye!
I saw him when he flew down,
To the Earth, to the Earth.
He has taken pity on us.
Throw back your hands and laugh. Soar with joyous thoughts.
I circle around
The boundaries of the Earth,
Wearing the long wing feathers as I fly,.
The Whites are afraid. Their time is passing.See their faces, and pity them.
Iyehe'! My children -
My children,
We have rendered them desolate.
The Whites are crazy - Aheyuheyu!
Yes, children, the time is come at last.
Dance and rejoice; dance them into Oblivion.
The Game, our Dog Soldiers, all the true men
Are returning to us.
The old ways shall be ours again.
Dance and rejoice! This Earth, our Love,
Will be ours again.
Ours forevermore.

You have fixed all movements within time
every trails destination have you outlined
no creature can operate outside its rule
the regulations of the cosmos no man can overrule
You oh Jah are the former of our clay
little have you asked but learn to love your way
forsake us will you never only we can turn away
ever open are your promises beckoning us to stay
you have sent your voice gently into the wind
to inform us all of the future YOU intend
the invitations are being sealed until the end
from your throne itself did they descend
Oh governor of Israel your servants have a task
to walk the path of truth false religion to unmask
upon Christ's shoulders all government shall come
peace on earth completed when your will is done
all the histories show every ruler of men
foster violence , injustice , hatred greed and sin
their arsenal of weapons their intentions a crime
full detonation is only a matter of time
fomentation of terror false stories do they use
lie to their own citizens calumny as news
misleading of the nations earths peoples do abuse
to pursue the cause of justice do refuse
I can hear the weeping , the cries have filled my ears
earthwide is the suffering , children daily live with tears
famine and starvation , disease wars and fears
past the point of denial , left to us extinction nears
Without Gods intervention mankind would not survive
those holding the power don't care if you remain alive
your slavery is their fuel so in wealth they thrive
for power and pleasure is the focus of their drive
Earths current calamites occurring as was foretold
materialism and technology sought for just like gold
every form of promiscuity ones body has been sold
violence and crimes and hatred in characters taken hold
Everything you plan to your children you do inform
the blueprint for the future your purpose to perform
every framework and design will earthly place transform
a government that loves on the verge of being born
No other fathers instructions have been so clear
every happiness conceived planned on placing here
from the beginning you have designed what was to come
the implementation and time taken it to be done
You designed the blueprint of the children you would raise
those who alongside Jesus and his character displays
anointed and appointed to serve everlasting days
who will rule the nations teach them all your ways
As sure as a refiners fire separates the gold
a razors edge on the sword of truth foretold
the forger of the weapon the right-hand of God
until his governors in his footsteps fully trod
From the heavens true justice will descend
incorruptible who mankind's tyranny will end
will remove all oppression and little ones defend
of its loving-kindness and mercy can everyone depend
Every prophet from beginning the kingdom given voice
that between life and death you have been given choice
installation of its kings is drawing very near
God who by Christ Jesus expressed intentions very clear
No child will ever hunger in this place
every physical infirmity and disease effaced
every sorrow and mourning with joy replaced
and even death itself has been erased
These promises God has through Christ demonstrated
for its fulfillment have his servants ever waited
where happiness and bliss lives in every home
the original design that exalts this throne
Your work oh Jah I magnify , joy and blessings bring
all glorious and majestic , crowning of your King
through him and his companions praise on earth will ring
of its exaltation those who love him sing
Gen. 1 & 2 Isaiah 9:1-7 , 11, 13:9-13,

At the final stroking of saint Halloween eve, it seems not so long ago,
That my trusty SUV, transport vehicle unceremoniously broke down,
Right outside the local pet cemetery, what a marvelous place to
Spend the spookiest night of the year, changing a flat tire right next
Door to the graveyard of the barking dead!
Ha, ha I thought to myself these children of the night better be at
Rest, I'm just not in the mood for playing fetch the bone, with
Any undead beasties tonight!
That's when I heard a hellish sound, coming from this unconsecrated
Ground of Fido's lost and found burial mounds, it started out low,
But grew with every shrill passing moment, I dropped the jack,
Picked up my throbbing heart, and became brave Balto of the
Polar North fame!
Inch by inch I approached, these iron bars gates that which were
Oddly left Unlocked, approaching the very center I stopped dead
Within my tracks, just as metal basketball rolled at my very feet,
Within two red glowing eyes meant mine, what the #### ####,
Is this thing, this it within a bob-wire metal shell?
It had very little hair, more like a grizzly patch here and there,
A ratty tail like a mouse, but what really caught my attention
The most was its sharp talon like claws, but it cried so, my
Mother instinct overrode my sinus of reasoning, it's helpless,
Tender howling touched the darkness of my deepest Edger
Allen soul, so I picked it up, and took it home!
Now, now I told it, don't be afraid, I'll cut you free from
Your iron cage, it seemed to understand me in dark
Level that I can't explain, my little creepy dude,
By the way such became his name, my undead pet
From the realm of the unknown!
It growled and hissed at me at first, almost nipping
At my bare fingertips, I'll have none of that biting
Business, I told it just be patient I'll have you out
In just a few minutes!
At long last it burst free, running attempting to
Flee far away from me, but I was quicker than it,
This terrifying thing, that captured me with it's
Howling cry!
Now my little creature feature, you need a bath
It shivered at the mention of the word, meaning clean!
But it had a very foul musty odor of brimstone, and
Rotten fleshy decay, into a vat of Mr. Bubbles it so went,
This it thing, my creepy little dude!
After I brushed and towel him off, I feed him a mushy
Mush of oatmeal and milk, but he spit it at me, "ok what
Does a thing like you eat than," I asked!
The creature than went to my fridge just as if it were
The most natural thing in the world to do, grabbed a
Bottle of spuds suds, popped the cork, and sat next to
The old boo tube, now just you wait a cotton picking
Minute, I thought to myself, no way!
It than snatched a slice of day old pizza from a nasty,
Cardboard box sitting in my waste paper bin, gobbled
It down in a moment, than burped out soundly,
It's gratifications satisfaction!
The whole time I'm wondering what the #### did I bring
Home, this it thing, that now reminds me of my ex-husband,
Beer, pizza, and TV burping, but just as I was thinking about
Taking it to the dead creature's animal shelter, it captured
My inner heart all over again, in a flick of my heart
It had nestled in my lap, growling in a purr, than
Tenderly clawing at my tummy, it snoozed!
From that point on it this thing, fondly known as
My creepy little dude, could do no wrong in my eyes,
It stayed just the same size, even though it eat night
And day, it drooled on everything, from the baseboards
To the chandler but I didn't care, for he was my
Creepy little dude!
Than the next Halloween night it happened,
I got a knock at my pantry door, it was two
Creatures, a female werewolf, and a male
Choapa Cobra, excuse us Miss Have you seen,
A metal basinet bob wire ball?
My little creepy dude ran passed me, in a flash yelled momma,
And the jig was up, these unusual parents thanked me,
Hugged their baby and left, I never saw the it thing again
After that, my little creepy dude was gone forever!
But I'll never forget, what happened not so long ago,
On a Halloween night, or my treasured pet, the it thing,
Known as my little creepy dude!

Sam woke up all excited, his first circle would take place tonight,
He saw Crimson Fire sat deep into mediation, still as a rock
and noticed the white robes, belts and staffs laid out ready.
He knew from their talks that he needed to do a purifying ritual
he would need to grind up the right herbs gathered at full moon
Hinds tongue and rabbits foot,
eye of newt and badgers foot,
calf's snout and a man's bile,
eye of star and beggars rile,
mix them up with fairy smoke
and with fairie's finger a poke
pour it into the bucket of water
put over fire as taught by healer
stir it twice then hubbles, bubbles
so many strife's, toils and troubles.
set aside and leave it to cool while you take a dip in the pool,
rub all over with Bloodwort until foam and bubbles appear.
A long swim around the pool, then a rinse under the waterfall
take the bucket, rub the purifying mixture over head and body.
Once done he joined Crimson Fire in a drink of Enchanters plant
ready they dressed in their robes and belts and took up their staffs .
They set off for the sacred grove where they would hold the circle
under the ancient oak they set the Abalone bowl filled with cleansing
herbs of sages, cedars and sweetgrass, then together they chanted
Earth Mother!
We praise Thee:
that seed springeth,
that flower openeth,
that grass waveth.
We praise Thee:
for winds that whisper
through the shining birch,
through the lively pine,
through the mighty oak. We praise Thee,
for all things, O Earth Mother,
Who givest Life!
As evening drew in many more druids joined and solemnly chanted
We all come from the Goddess
And to Her we have returned;
As our ancestors Worshipped Her
Air, land and sea.
Hoof and horn, hoof and horn,
All that dies shall be reborn.
Corn and grain, corn and grain,
All that falls shall rise again
At midnight Crimson Fire raised his hands "Now it is time, it is Time,
Here stands young Sam son of Blue Dragon, he has passed the tests
Now it is Time for him to take his Druid's name and follow our ways."
He bowed first to the North, then to the East and South finally West
He struck the ground with his twisted sacred staff in each direction
then they all chanted
A Bhrid, ar goroi, an-gheal Bheanrion; (ah vree, ar gree, ahn-yawl von-reen)
Lo de thoil e beannachta sinn. (low da dolly bah-nacht-tah sheen)
Is sinn bhur leanai, is tu ar mamai (iss sheen vur lanni, iss too ar mom-wee)
Bi ag isteacht duinn mar sin. (be ah gay-stot dween mar shin)
Is tu an coire, anois inar doire; (iss too ahn hweer-ah, ah-neesh in-ar deer-ah)
A Bhean-domhan tinfim orainn. (ah van-dowan tin-feem or-rin)
A thine ghra, a thine bheatha; (ah hinna hrah, a hinna byah)
Lo de thoil e ag teacht Bhrid duinn! (low da doily ah tockt vree dween)
They then anointed Sam with sacred herbs and Crimson Fire held up Sam's hand
"Here stands Fire Eagle mark him well he will be a great healer in years to come."
They closed the circle with a feast of forest fruits, nuts, seeds and blackberries.
Finally before they all went their separate ways they joined hands and chanted
Siuil linn a Oghma...
("shool-leen ah oh...mah")
...Walk with us Ogma.
Siuil linn a Mhanannon...
("shool-leen ah wah-na-non")
...Walk with us Manannon.
As Crimson Fire and Fire Eagle left the Grove he gave an old twisted sacred staff
to Fire Eagle "use it for good always and it will guide you in nature's ways.
The years passed by and still Fire Eagle remained with Crimson Fire learning
until one day Crimson Fire said "it is now my time I want it to be you who
carry's out The Ritual Of Passage for me. I leave you my sword and staff
and this house. "Then he laid down and slowly softly his breathing slowed.
With a final soft sigh his spirit left his earthly body for the OtherWorld.
Fire Eagle was both sad and glad as he knew that after a while he would return
in a different form, maybe a tree or animal or as a human that is the druid way.

All that does encompass bespeaks wonder in everything
bubbling brooks and waterfalls does your glory ring
terrestrial and celestial ever fill our eyes with seeing
how can not it's splendor not fill our very being
raindrops in waters with their rippling wake
and mesmerize our souls does the rushing make
gentle breezes lifting dappled leaves in dance
and some say it all came about by chance
How does this effusion elude a single man
when everywhere one turns it's radiance does stand
Nebula and quasar adorns a cloaking sky
and some choose to call the truth a lie
How lofty and profound in it's depth designed
everywhere one turns does God's eminence remind
lavender and magenta do our roses wear
magnificent in color in tended gardens care
In florescent rainbows are a peacocks feathers
multi patterned flowers among the blooming heathers
many hues of blue stretch across the sky
changing shades of azure of the seas close by
In Africa's dense jungle ring tailed lemurs leap
Asia's tarsier in the day does sleep
the giant and red panda in bamboo forests eat
meerkats make their manor underground to keep
Springbok and Okapi migrate within the land
camels and dromedary travel in the sand
kingfishers underwater dives yet he cannot swim
the hoopoe within Europe summers on a limb
Golden plovers and sandpipers do the beaches run
in every nation some great cat naps beneath the sun
the ruby topaz hummingbird and bird of paradise
the chameleon changes turf and puts on his disguise
Through filtered teeth of whales krill don't stand a chance
and so many speculate it's all just circumstance
At the poles do penguins nest upon the ice
beneath the oceans surface unnamed fish do slice
Everywhere in universe within it's laws do move
meticulous and intricate does creation prove
change the axis of the earth and life would not exist
no missing links have been found and yet the lie persist
The precision of it's interface keeps universe intact
so cohesive is the pattern in every little fact
why is mans reason out of line with the universe
turned his mind away from God just before the curse
To his change the animals haven't been unblind
fear of man and his hand knowing he's not kind
mankind lost respect for law and for himself
focus is on surface and not aware of Satan's stealth
Melodious is the speech of birds outside of our homes
the cacophony of nature with it's many tones
explosive is the energy if the atoms split
the power to enclose it will so few admit
Mankind's exploration isn't nearly done
infinity a subject for learning yet to come
we've barely scratched the surface of mathematics sum
to it's fascination have so many become numb
To winds and tides of doctrines do so many move
who will ask the questions and arguments so prove
the laws that governs universe are so well defined
but the souls that live on earth are of double mind
God has stretched the heavens with a movement of his hand
futility against his knowledge cannot a man to stand
wisdom she does cry and her voice puts forth
to examine natural things and upon your course
Listen not to instruction upon whose path you err
take away it will the life you hope to share
Life itself is precious do not you throw away
if you follow fallen man away from life you'll stray
The cry of the cricket do you understand
there is speech in everything that lives within the land
do you think a crocodile you will ever tame
and things undiscovered we have yet to name
How little understanding exists within man's mind
to exult himself against God's knowledge is he blind
before Jah's understanding mankind's is so weak
why from another man should you your answers seek
Bow your will before him lift your voice in praise
take in his instruction if want you length of days
Consider what you are and what you may become
in beginning were created just like God's own Son
sources Psalms and Proverbs and Ecclesiastes

Not a day goes by I don't think of you
you have permeated my fortress and walk freely in all its rooms
(examining it's furnishings)
how did I allow you entry without the
usual search scan and seizure ?
I'ts like a foreign substance and all
my antibodies are seeking to eradicate
your presence (anti-christs)
My mind and heart find your entrance exhilarating
like ecstasy ( a neurologically happy drug ,
which by the way I've never imbibed in but the
other one I'm only slightly familiar with)
My body wants to throw you off like some
intruder to the death it lies in bondaged slavery of.
I finally understand the WAR.
I want to isolate this substance and imbibe at will
or as often as I desire.
There's no corner on the market for this substance,
you can only get this by freely accepting it as your
own life blood , the loss of which kills us , but it's
flow is what keeps us alive.
I desire to lay in it's bliss
like basking in a warm sun's rays
unfortunately I burn easily , so I usually limit
my exposure to substances I feel may do me damage.
But OH , HOW GOOD this FEELS , as though I should
have been born to this naturally .
But NO , love is not the natural substance of the world
in it's battlements and fortresses erected by men and
so thoroughly indoctrinated into his very being .
I just want to bottle this and share it with everyone.
But everyone "knows" every really really great substance
wears off and kicking the habit is way way painful .
But I want to suck this up and live in it , to have the heat
of it never dim , until it is an all consuming fire that lights
everything in it's sphere . Yes LOVE JUNKIE , child of God
a shameless addict to truth about the paths people choose
to "lose" themselves on .
I've been like a bloodhound sniffing out every trail looking
for this substance the one that transforms you into fully
brilliantly vibrantly alive , and to roll in it until every fiber
of my being is saturated with it's fragrance.
The factory that manufactures this is built within ,
and I want unlimited access , but my own body has
set up perimeters and walls to fence off my full access
to my own God given life source ..(the curse)
You can only have full admittance when you can use
it's power to give life and not destroy others , to be
able to manage it usefully for the benefit of all.
But I'm a natural indulgent in what feels good ,
substances always on the intake , seeking to have a
balm that shields me from being abused or seeing
my own abuses of Life. My ability to utilize a substance
so powerful is limited by my training , my will and my
exposure to everything that seeks to sell it on the open
market like a thrill seeker , or cheap whore who can be
had for a bouquet and dinner , which is quickly consumed
in one night and disappears tomorrow . Nothing that the
world offers can even slightly imitate the magnitude and
power residing where Love dwells . When you've been
allowed to taste its manna , the desire for a plateful
is now not even enough but the drive to constant partaking
of its presence is now an all consuming fire and I am
driven to sign up for the lifetime plan . For better is a life
that feeds on love daily , than to choke and suffocate on
the bowls of hatred served up daily in the worlds menu.
I have relished the view from opposite sides of the room ,
when you're ready for the permanent plan you will
have to crossover to the other side . I know you read me,
like the good book , and when you understand you can
hide it from the world , but not from me , or yourself .
We want full access to the wellspring of life and love , I'm
willing to share the source , but it's a limited partnership (MLP)
on a lifetime plan , but it's riches are infinite and can only
be provided by the source. If you're willing to crossover ,
I'll allow you re-entry and full access ... Love

Don't Just Murmur
Are we going to enter the ill-fated whirlpool
Of unintelligible madness,
And let calamitous folly anchor its obscure ships
Of destruction,
In our harmonious hearts?
Are we going to follow the discerning star
Of glowing reason,
And allow lustrous wisdom institute its
Simmering dominion,
In our tormented minds?
Are we going to constantly give fortified shelter
To detrimental fears
And permit fatal pessimism establish its
Depressing presence,
In our serene lives?
Are we going to evict, detrimental dread, from our
Excruciating consciousness,
And relinquish vivifying optimism to enact its
Invigorating message,
All over our agonizing planet?
Are we going to stand, apathetically still in front
Of virtue's constant devastation
And grant, tenebrous vice, permission to grow
Its abominable fruit of injustice
In our loving society?
Are we going to become vigorously implicated
In rectitude's resurrection
By putting up a gallant fight, for the condemnation
Of dreary crime,
In our fearful world?
Are we going to let fading belief steadily degenerate
Our blazing ethics
And permit sinister infamy, build its damnable empire
Of anarchy,
In our mystic souls?
Are we going to work, with ever-expanding zeal
To revive glittering morality
By sanctioning compassion and regenerate
Kind-heartedness and order
In our caliginous society?
Are we going to sacrifice illustrious truth on the
Wicked altar of self-interest
And endure venomous lie undisturbed
To flourish,
In the midst of us?
Are we going to courageously strive against
Catastrophic falsehood
By allowing rapturous veracity thrive and
Within ourselves?
Are we going to remain helpless pray of
Mischievous hatred,
And grand carnivorous war the permit to
Destroy and devour
Life on eternal earth?
Are we going to transform ourselves to
Charitable giants,
And give birth to everlasting peace and
Ever-enduring love
For every fellow living being?
If your choice is the latter, my loving
Then, Don't just murmur but

See problems they no worry Timothy
He was raised by his Great Grandmother
One day she taught him
Miho you can make life beautiful or ugly
Work hard, find a woman who has a strong back
Beauty fades it doesn't last long
Now let me tell you
A woman with a strong back may not be your perfect companion
Times are changing, I think Faith is more important these days
I say okay Grandma, can I have the horachata now that you made me
No hush up! You can have it when I'm finished talking
Timothy come your poor Grandfather wanted you to have this
It is his Journal and I have never read out of it
She hands it to me
I am struck by it's cover, it is brown and plain
Yet it spoke to me by it's elegant style
These words were printed on the cover "Blanco Vendetta"
I was drawn and pulled in untill I was covered by the spell
The first page I open too it says "My first Mil Besos"
The Temptess that blew my heart away
I turn to page 33
It says "The story of an Apache Warrior"
There are no rules to an Apache Warrior when it comes to fighting
He says if you are my enemy I don't care how but I'm gonna kill you
Page 41 is like a fist full of words thrown across the page
Barrio boxing, The protection of the Shield of Faith
Brokenhearted for my careless speech has left her heartbroken
Strengthened by Love "Amor"
Nourished by the sunshine in her hand
There is healing in its beams
Blessed by her presence Del Dios I am Greatful
I'm like Grandpa what did you say wrong
Then these words come to me
Give her your full attention when she speaks to you
Because the Heart of the Wise studies how to answer
So I close it and my finger brushes a bookmark
It's the Last page
It says To: "Timothy my son who is as mighty as an army"
I Thank you for the Greatest Gift
For the Greatest Gifts are as small as your small hand that touched me
I plant these seeds and they will take root and grow because you are good ground
Timothy let me say That without you I would of never found my Faith in GOD
Listen for it is your Grandfather who is dead and speechless
Timothy you see the good in everything
And I know you will understand my words clearly
If a man gives you his word
Promise me not to plan your future on it
And if you give your word my son
Do everything in your Power to fulfill it
AND NEVER Promise more than you can deliver
For it is better to put out more than you promised
Everyman is considered unwise when he appears foolish
I wish I could give you some insight about women
But your Great Grandmother may help you better than I can
But never timothy, Never be quick to fall in Love
Or give your heart to a woman
Listen carefully to her words when she speaks to you
Cherish Her give her your full undue attention
Because the Heart of the Wise studies how to answer
Love your neighbors as yourself
And do not strive against another man
If he has done nothing wrong to offend you
AS much as it is possible live peacefully with all men
And it is okay for you to speak these things with your Great Grandmother
She is a very wise and God-fearing woman
Amor take the greatest care of her, I Love you Son
Timothy when the time comes to avenge my death
Hit harder then you ever have before
But not in a Duel son, not like an open Vendetta
Marry his daughter Maria
The one who is pretty and Two years younger than you
Oh! He will suffer greatly!
And it will kill him to know that I chose this way to repay him
And remember son to be ready to fight any man at the drop of a hat
