She is my every thought.
Her existence completely envelops me.
Every word echos in my heart
And runs like fire through my veins.
With every breath, my mind fixes on
Three words.
Watching her laugh,
Hope loomed behind
My eyes, swiftly catching hers,
And as she smiles those lips
I tried fruitlessly to form just
Three Words.
Three words which plague my mind.
Three words which dance on my tongue.
Three words which yet again
I swallowed and trapped in an indurate heart,
Hidden behind a facade that would never say,
Three words

Nice poem. Just go with your heart. :) Sherry
Beautiful poem, paints vivid pictures
Very good poem, ER. You should ask her out. Some things are worth the risk. Just be cool, don't say "I love you, let's get a pizza!"
this was really good. and you got a response!! yeah for you!
So nice to be in love, eben nicer for two to feel that way about each other. How is a girl to know for sure how you feel unless you tell her. Girls can tell when I guy fancies them, but the level of feeling you have, demands expression.
Just remember, all love is not returned and all relationships are not meant to be. However, they all deserve a chance.
Nice poem by the way, I got so involved in the content I almost forgot to mention.
Yes all relationships deserve a chance to bloom or furl. My words seem to fall on manipulating ears that twist meaning and sharpened that cuts swiftly with every word. Leaving my heart covered in emotional lacerations that remain stitched, but not healed.

The landscape crew where I work was out here digging up all the daffodil
and tulips bulbs and replanting summer stuff. I asked them what they
were going to do with all those bulbs. They said they were THROWING THEM
AWAY! They gave me three trash bags full of BULBS...for FREE!!! WOO HOO.
You may be disappointed next year. The daffs probably won't
bloom again for a couple of years, but they will finally come
through. The tulips may not. If you can bury them deeply they
have a better chance, but both kinds need to be able to mature
their foliage if they are to bloom again.
A garden club I used to belong to would collect leftover potted bulbs
from a florist after the spring season and plant them in the town
park. It would usually take at least two years before they produced
any more blooms, and then only the daffs were reliable. Tulips often
just disappeared.
Anyway, have fun. I wish you luck.

Singapore's Record Fuel Stocks Move to Floating Storage
Record high stocks of fuel oil in Singapore are pushing traders to store the shipping and feedstock fuel into tankers temporarily as demand slows regionally. At least seven very large crude carriers (VLCCs) have been provisionally fixed to store fuel oil on short-term time charters, traders and shipbrokers said. Lower oil prices have boosted refinery profits over most of this year, in turn driving refiners to maximise run rates and increase the supply of fuel oil in the region

Man-o-War Cottages: Beach is right off your doorstep
These cottages are on the beach about a 5 minute walk from the village. The grounds look like a botanical garden with ferns, trees, and flowering bushes. Across the road is a cocoa estate where you will find lots of papaya, calabash, and cocoa trees. Birdlife is everywhere.
The owner leads naturalist tours around Tobago.<br/>For those that would rather be in the water, there is good snorkeling here.

Quote about SourceForge.net?
"SourceForge.net is just the natural place to put an open source game."
Why did you place the project on SourceForge.net?
For two reasons:
Using SourceForge instantly turns the project into a team effort.SourceForge provides an infrastructure (CVS, Web site, etc.) that would otherwise have to be paid by developers or through donations.
The number one benefit of using SourceForge.net is:
Being listed on the software map. A lot of people use this list when searching for new games, and potential developers do the same.
- Project name: FreeCol
- Date founded/started: 2002-01-02
- URL: http://freecol.org
- Project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/freecol
Description of project
FreeCol is a turn-based strategy game based on the old game Colonization, and similar to Civilization. The objective of the game is to create an independent nation. You start with just a few colonists and a strong dependency on your home country. You can fight a War of Independence after building colonies, trading goods, fighting off rival European powers, and encouraging the rising rebel sentiment.
Trove info
- Topic: Turn-based strategy
- Operating System: OS-independant (Written in an interpreted language)
- Programming Language: Java
- Translations: English, German, Hungarian, Spanish
- Licence: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Why and how did you get started?
Lars: I wanted to relive the days of playing Colonization and also to be a part of an open source game. Shortly before creating the project, in December 2001, I posted a message on one of the SourceForge.net gaming forums to see if there were any other people interested. I contacted the people that replied, and we started from there.
Stian: I started working on FreeCol after realizing that a commercial sequel to Colonization was getting less and less likely. Getting experience working on a collaborative project was also interesting.
Michael: Sid Meier's Colonization was always one of my favourite games. Thus, I was quite pleased when I first discovered FreeCol in 2002. At that time, I knew no Java, however, so I was unable to contribute anything except a few feature requests. I joined the project as a developer in late 2005.
Sergio: Sergio: I was trying the new release of FreeCol and I began to look at the code. I liked the idea of developing a game, so I tried to fix some bugs when I was on holiday, then decided to join FreeCol Team. At the beginning I was hunting and fixing bugs, and later I developed some new features.
What is the software's intended audience?
Lars: People who enjoy any type of strategy game. As a Linux user I feel a lack of large and long-lasting strategy games on my platform, so Linux gamers are very important to us.
Michael: Fans of the original game, especially those who don't have the hardware and operating system required to run it.
How many people do you believe are using your software?
Stian: We have exceeded 100,000 downloads, but I think only a few thousand people actually play the game, based on the number of forum posts, bug reports, and feature requests.
What are a couple of notable examples of how people are using your software?
Stian: I was surprised when some of my potential employers said they had been playing the game.
What gave you an indication that your project was becoming successful?
Sergio: We started to have many bug reports, and a great many of feature requests, and the forum traffic went up.
What has been your biggest surprise?
Stian: My biggest suprise was discovering how much I had learned while working on the project. It is really amazing looking at the code I wrote just two years ago and discovering how bad it really was. I think students can learn a lot from participating in projects like FreeCol.
What has been your biggest challenge?
Lars: A few years ago it wasn't always easy to stay motivated. The rush of creating the initial version had faded away but lots of work still needed to be done. During that time the project didn't get much attention (which was normal because it wasn't fully playable). Eventually, new developers motivated the old ones and we found a new gear.
Stian: The biggest challenge was keeping new developers on the team for longer periods of time. Many of the developers we recruited left the project just after they had gotten a good understanding of the code.
Sergio: Some multiplayer bug fixes and changing something in unit display.
Why do you think your project has been so well received?
Lars: I think that our graphics have made the project popular. It's not often that an open source game gets access to such nice graphics during the early stages of development. Additionally, the multiplayer support adds many new options to fans of the original Colonization.
Michael: Everyone loves games.
Where do you see your project going?
Stian: Our project will not just be considered as a simple game in the future, but as an engine to be used when creating new turn-based strategy games.
What's on your project wish list?
Stian: I am especially looking forward to the time when new unit types and abilities can be defined using XML files. This work has been scheduled for the 0.7.0 release and will signify a huge step toward making the game more of an engine for turn-based strategy games. It will also facilitate the process of adding new features to FreeCol 2 by making it easier to test the effects of new features on the overall gameplay.
Sergio: I would like show better messages and feedback about combats, especially when AI or other players attack. That might mean a message with statistical information of combat before you attack, like in original Colonization. I would like to show all messages in a list at the beginning of the turn, instead of showing several message dialogs. And there are more wishes in our tracker which I would like to see in implemented.
What are you most proud of?
Lars: I'm glad we're pulling this off in Java. Many people think Java is not the best choice for a desktop game, but we're here to prove them wrong.
Michael: The rivers.
Sergio: When Michael Burschik congratulated to me on my bug fixes, and when we did the bugfix 0.5.x releases and people said they were more stable and bug free, and they can play more comfortably, because I had fixed quite a lot of bugs and then I saw my work was useful.
How do you coordinate the project?
Stian: The trackers are the most important part of the project administration. They prevent the developers from working on the same tasks and also facilitates the communication with our community. This is especially important because the developers are free to choose their own tasks. We are using a mailing list for the internal communication in the team, but private e-mail messages are also used frequently — especially when making comments on the code written by fellow members of the team.
Do you work on the project full-time, or do you have another job?
We all work on it only part-time.
If you work on the project part-time, how much time would you say you spend, per week, on it?
Stian: I spend one hour each day reading e-mail and doing administrative work. The programming is done whenever I have time to spare. Sometimes I can spend up to 28 hours in one week, but the average is less than 10 hours per week.
Lars: I worked about 15 hours per week.
Michael: 2 to 10 hours per week, occasionally a bit more.
Sergio: There are weeks I can spend 3 or 4 hours per day and others when I only can read my mail and spend 1 or 2 hours per day.
What is your development environment like?
Stian: Dell Inspiron 6400 with Dual Core 1.66GHz CPU, 1GB RAM, Dual Screen, and Kubuntu. I am using Eclipse as my IDE. We use Ant for building and LaTeX for creating the game manual.
Lars: Athlon Thunderbird 1050MHz running Gentoo Linux. I compile using Sun's Java.
Michael: Core2 Duo, Etc, Emacs.
Sergio: AMD64 (Sempron) with Kubuntu. My IDE is NetBeans because it was using less memory than Eclipse, and when I joined to FreeCol team, the game was using too much memory and I needed all my RAM to run the IDE and two instances of FreeCol to debug multiplayer.

Here we go, the rumor mill regarding a next generation iPhone has officially started. Today apparently it seems we have leaked images of the next generation iPhone, that might be called the iPhone 5S. Check out the pictures of leaked iPhone 5S below.
Leaked iPhone 5S Pictures
Well this didn't take long. Leaked iPhone 5S pictures have been surfaced thanks to a parts firm called ETrade supply which mention these images (above and below) to be that of the iPhone 5S.
These images; if they are true, will make the iPhone 5S very similar to that of the current iPhone, the iPhone 5.
The back panel image shows that iPhone 5S is ditto copy of the iPhone 5, but the real difference lies in the inside. The image below shows that this might be the real thing considering the screws are laid different from the iPhone 5.
The other factor which might indicate that these images are of the iPhone 5S is the label "X" on the back panel. The symbol "X" is normally used for prototypes which might indicate that this is in fact the iPhone 5S. But this can also refer to a prototype of the current iPhone 5. Maybe someone got their hands on a prototype of the iPhone 5 when it was in production line.
These images do indicate that Apple is working on the iPhone 5S but let's not get too head of ourselves. First; the company that provided these images has no tract record, they might be doing this to garner some page views, secondly it's very unlikely that Apple has started production of these iPhone 5S's.
It was reported couple of weeks ago that Apple was testing the iPhone 5S and that it was expected to make a debut in summer of 2013. But if we are to believe Apple's new product launching cycle then Apple won't launch the iPhone 5S or whatever it's going to call this coming summer.
Well what do you think?

Arts Literature Poetry Forms Fixed Verse Forms Sestina
The sestina is a medieval provencal poetic form attributed to the troubadour Arnaut Daniel. It consists of six six-line stanzas, ending with a three-line envoi. The six words that end the lines of the first stanza are repeated as the end words of each of the other stanzas in a complex pattern that goes like this (note that each letter corresponds to an end word, not an end rhyme): abcdef, faebdc, cfdabe, ecbfad, deacfb, bdfeca. Each line of the three-line envoi must end with one of the end words but also must contain within it one of the other end words. There are several possible patterns for the envoi, but the most common are ace or eca for the end words and bdf or fdb for the middle words. Since the same words are repeated throughout the poem, the sestina is an excellent vehicle for meditation on complex and multiple meanings.

Revolution Uzi Crash Pad Review
Revolution Uzi, $99
I wanted to like this pad. It's hip and compact, with two no-fuss Velcro closures running the length of the pad's side and bottom that let you securely stash a day's worth of supplies. Plus it has a plush carpeted deck and a slim accessory pouch. The foam, however, was the softest of any pad tested. We could bottom it out just squeezing the pad between our fingers, and test falls sent shockwaves up our legs. If Revolution beefs up the foam (which it says it will do), this could be a great small-sized pad. Revolution: 888-378-7437, www.revolutiongear.com.
- Open size: 40x30x2.5 inches (2 inches open-cell, 1/2 inch closed-cell foam)
- Weight: 6 pounds
- Closure system: Taco style, with large Velcro flaps
- Carpeted deck: Yes
- Accessory pocket: Yes
- Side carrying handle: Yes
- Suspension: Padded shoulder straps and hip belt
- Cushioning: 1 star
- Ease of use: 4.5 stars
- Creature comforts: 4 stars
- Final score: 2 stars

Synthetic aperture enlargement is obtained, in lensless digital holography, by introducing a diffraction grating between the object and the CCD camera with the aim of getting super-resolution. We demonstrate here that the spatial frequencies are naturally self-assembled in the reconstructed image plane when the NA is increased synthetically at its maximum extent of three times. By this approach it possible to avoid the use of the grating transmission formula in the numerical reconstruction process, thus reducing significantly the noise in the final super-resolved image. Demonstrations are reported in 1D and 2D with an optical target and a biological sample, respectively.

9/10 i use a lip stain. wait a while. then a lip pencil, then lipstick out of the tube/and or a lip glass. BUT i should start using my lip brush, and blotting and/or adding powder and then putting on a second coat. its hard to tell, and i normally use prowear anyway.
I wish I was more sanitary measures-conscious like you! For lipstick I just apply straight on, usually without a brush. And basically the same for lipgloss: I just use the wand that comes with the tube.
I usually do a sheer layer of moisturizer first, then lipstick, then a complimenting lipgloss on top. No primer, liner, or setting powder for me ;P
I usually moisturise my lips first then I apply lipliber then lipstick and gloss at the centre of my bottom lip. Oh and a dash of shimmer powder on my cupids area above the lip
Straight on the lip, unless some red lipsticks like MAC Red or Viva Glam I, I apply them with a lip brush
I don´t use to wear glosses
Lipstick: If it's a sheer lipstick, straight from the tube. If it's more pigmented, I apply most of it from the tube and do the edges with a lip brush for precision.
Gloss: If I'm wearing the gloss alone (or over a stain), I use the applicator. If I'm applying it over a lipstick, I'll almost always apply with a lip brush or dab it on with my finger so that I don't get lipstick on the applicator (eww).
straight from the tube!
I too apply most times straight out of the tube. never had any issues with it, only some lipsticks i apply with ha brush because sometimes the finish is slightly different when applied with brush.
Right out of the bullet.
I apply both straight from the tube.
I always wear the lipstick straight from the tube, unless its almost finished…sometimes if the color is too strong I blend it with my finger
I also use the wands that come with the glosses, unless they are the squeeze or the pot ones, in that case I use my finger or a brush
right from the tube except for my YSL rouge volupte I use a brush because they're so pigmented and I can easily use an excessive amount of the product,
I use the applicator that comes with lipglosses
Hi! I just wear them both straight on the lip! 😀
with eye brushes 🙂
mostly straight from the tube.
I apply my lipstick straight out of the tube, generally. The only gloss I use is Lancome juicy tubes, which I also apply straight from the tube.
I use it just like that…sometimes I use a lip balm with spf underneath though, if my lips are dry or if it's really sunny.
Gloss I also apply just like that – as I don't have disposable applicators I always have to clean my lips before reapplying, which can be quite a hassle when I'm on the go. But I really don't like it if gloss "goes bad" so to say, so I really do my best and if in doubt I just use my lip balm instead.
Christine, where do you buy your disposable applicators? That's such a great idea. Does the lip gloss tend to last longer in the tube if you do it that way? Thanks
Where do you buy the disposable applicators?
Right from the tube to my lips…unless I've hit the inner casing; then the brush comes out.
Almost exclusively out of the tube. I have a lip brush just in case, though.

The pursuit of Fashion is the attempt of the middle class to co-opt tragedy.

The popularity of disaster movies expresses a collective perception of a world threatened by irresistible and unforeseen forces which nevertheless are thwarted at the last moment. Their thinly veiled symbolic meaning might be translated thus: We are innocent of wrongdoing. We are attacked by unforeseeable forces come to harm us. We are, thus, innocent even of negligence.

The proclamation and repetition of first principles is a constant feature of life in our democracy. Active adherence to these principles, however, has always been considered un-American.
