in the uncoloured tint of another everyday
amongst the spit polished waxed apples
tightly packed in burlap bags
they walked like minded
in their own burly wrap
oblivious to the irony
to their similarity
of the markets round red fruit
unaware of the tragedy
the horror of events yet to come
it will rain metal shrapnel
as human minds grasp
with the purpose of their existence
as in their ignorance
they understand their worth as human bombs
with a belief the heavens will open the gates
with a fanfare and a promised blessing
for their divine act of unquestioned belief
the clay shaped bricks
the black iron metal stairs
the drum sound of engines
then the lull
not after
but before
the pulse of the storm
the rain of death
yet this moment captured
this photograph
with man and child in hand
smells sweet
you wonder
the world travels
no one
nothing in the universe
even a hint
even a glimpse
not a clue
that would lead
an answer.
life in its contradiction
like the proverbial apple
offers both
the miracle
the curse.

Daddy, why did you go away?
Don't you know I wanted you to stay!
Daddy, when you left mom,
Don't you know you left me too?
Now all I do is cry and cry
--- I want to die!
Daddy, mommy say's it's better this way,
What does she know!
They're not enough band-aids to cover up the blues
Mom's kisses can't heal this kind of pain.
Daddy, I look around
No one stands in your garage
Daddy, You took every tool
Except the hammer and sitting stool
Daddy, I still miss you
--- I love you.
Dear Daddy, I'm all grown up now
Haven't seen you since I was 10
Daddy, I sit on your favorite chair,
No longer do I miss the way you caressed my hair.
Daddy, I'm taking the old hammer and this BRAND NEW saw,
It's time to patch all the holes mom punched in the wall
*The day you walked out on us*
Daddy, don't worry about the times I tripped and fell
Mom found someone to fix the loose boards,
Got tired of scraping my knees
Daddy, I finally realized I'm okay,
I agree with mom, it's better this way.
by- Not every dad is great (but step-dad YES!)

You were the oak in our family tree,
With roots that were strong and true,
Holding on so tenaciously
No ill wind could topple you.
We nestled under your branches, Daddy,
In the shelter of your girth,
Until our own roots were established and
We survived by our own worth.
Daddy, only then did you waver
Only then did your roots release.
God seeing how very tired you were
Took you to his home of peace.
Dear Daddy on this Father's Day
I am wondering if you knew
Just how much your daughter loved you
And that she's still missing you.

I saw a burial with a bugler playing taps;
I turned to my father, "what happened?" I asked.
He clutched my hand and with a quiver in his voice,
he began to explain and his eyes became moist.
"My son," he said, "this is rather difficult for me;
for an old veteran like myself this is tough to see.
In that coffin lies a genuine patriotic warrior,
an honest-to-God hero, an American soldier.
I appreciate that soldier and the service he gave,
and I honor his sacrifice as he's laid in his grave.
He was honorable, selfless, courageous, and bold;
please remember him son, as you grow old.
The value of his service, I must explain,
if not remembered, will be lost in vain.
As a nation we're nothing without soldiers like him;
and failing to remember would be a terrible sin."
I listened in awe as my father spoke,
it seemed as if his heart were broke.
I suddenly remembered when he went to war,
and when he returned I thought nothing more.
I never asked why he walked with a limp,
and I didn't care about why he was sick.
I was too busy enjoying the life that I had,
to realize that I had it because of dad.
I finally understood what my dad was about,
and it hurt so bad I cried out loud.
He sacrificed so much so I could be free,
and his battle scars were suffered for me.
It was my father's spirit that spoke to me that day;
thank God I finally understood what he had to say.
I saluted his coffin as they laid him to rest,
and I thought about the medals pinned on his chest.
That I didn't honor him sooner, I will always regret;
and I pledged that day to never again forget.
I'm proud that my dad was a patriotic warrior;
I'm honored to be the son of an American soldier.

I am not a father
Nor I am a mother
I am just a daughter
That is growing better...
Father, you have been away
I truly wish you have stayed
Hugging me as I lay
I don't need much penny...
All I have been missing is you my daddy
Your love and your real company...
Look, how I am now
I pursued my little vow
Hoping always, You'll be proud
It's alright if you'll not be loud...
All I want is for us to bond...
Yes, I am neither a kid nor a child
Ever anymore
But still, there is that longing
I cannot deny...
I miss you much, daddy...

I have learned to say thanks
... It's free
I can not remember that I sat on your lap when I was little
How delightful it is to have a child on my lap
I can not remember no one hugs
Today I hug you often
You feel discomfort
I have learned to be helpful
... It's free
I learned to tie my shoelaces
.... Where were you
I have learned to be kind
.... It's free
I learned to ride a bike
... Where were you
A sister and a brother
moved many miles from their childhood home
I went to school - I became an adult
.... Where were you
I got my own family
A home created along with my dear husband
... A beautiful child and grandchildren
... Where were you
I taught them to say thank you and share many warm hugs .... love
You need me now, to master your life
.... It's free
I am here for you
I say: "I love you, dear dad"
You say: "Its only fair .... it is your duty"
I give you a hug
... You give me no one back

You think I have a pretty face
My dresses weaved from frills and lace
You think that I'm a spoilt brat
with diamonds around my neck
and roses in my bed
You think I own the pot of gold
A blissful future to behold
You think I live on a greener grass
but you know nothing
No ,you know nothing about my past
There are chapters still on hold
A thousand words untold
There's emotion still enclosed in a lacrimal drop
There is a tasteless tale,a colourless spume
and large waves that fall on the shore
There's a silent cry which keeps yelling why
which keeps loving and hating,mending and breaking
Pushing ,embracing our God
My unfaithful devotion keeps begging in motion
Asking what,where,when,and how long
For how long should I wait for
to feel the affection, love and protection
to listen to daddy singing for me
just one birthday song
For how long should I pray for,to listen to daddy
just calling out my name on the phone
You think I have a pretty face
My dresses weaved from frills and lace
You think that I'm a spoilt brat
with diamonds around my neck
and roses in my bed
You think I own the pot of gold
A blissful future to behold
You think I live on a greener grass
but you know nothing
No, you know nothing about my past
You know nothing about the way I feel
About deep scars that would never heal
You just keep thinking that I live
I live on a greener grass.

'Twas our Christmas Eve dinner; we all had sat down
at the table to eat. Grandma couldn't be found!
We children were fussing; Dad rose to his feet.
shouting, "Where are you, Ma? We're ready to eat!"
When from the next room we heard such a noise
Jenny squealed, "Santa Claus must have brought toys!"
We then heard a sound like a whimpering pup
saying, "Help. I've fallen and cannot get up."
Grandpa jumped up and then rushed to the door
that led to the bathroom. There on the floor
lay our poor grandma, eyes widened in fear,
looking like she'd got run over by reindeer!
The dresser had fallen. It had her pinned down.
Grandma was wildly flailing around.
More swiftly than Rudolph, we did all we were able.
We unpinned her. Then Mom yelled, "Back to the table!"
Back to the dining room all we kids came
As our mom started to call us by name.
"Davy, Mel, Jenny, Angie, Marie. . .
Get back here now. I'm counting to three!"
Like animals not having eaten all day,
stuck in a cage without getting their way,
we sat at that table our bellies all growling,
and Davy, the baby, by now was howling.
And then finally what did appear?
Dad with our grandpa and grandma so dear!
Supported by both our grandpa and dad,
Grandma was flushed and looking quite bad.
She was dressed in a housecoat trimmed in white lace
and a big purple bruise had now formed on her face.
Mom pulled out a chair helping Grandma to sit,
and then our dad bellowed, "OK, have at it!"
Our mouths how they watered to see the large ham.
"And that isn't all," said Mom, "I made lamb!"
Her small pretty mouth was turned up in a grin,
"The food's getting cold now. Children, dig in."
Our dad how he laughed as he poured lots of gravy
onto his potatoes and kidded with Davy.
And Grandma sat smiling despite her great fall
while Grandpa gulped spiked nog, not talking at all.
With eyes that seemed bigger than my own belly,
I dished out big spoonfuls of cranberry jelly.
Mom winked and I knew I had nothing to dread.
Her pleasure was in us all being well fed.
I went straight to work at stuffing my face
when suddenly Mom said, "We didn't say grace!"
We closed our eyes listening to our dad's prayer.
I peeked but was met by my mom's warning stare!
Dad finished the prayer with a hearty Amen.
Then we were all grabbing Mom's fixings again.
When the food had all vanished and our stomachs hurt,
we heard Dad exclaim, "So what's for dessert?"

Moments are faded ink written in the journal of my past.
As they fade away, the future comes on too fast.
I look back, it is luxury as I opened my mental cage,
Releasing the love, the disappointment, the silliness and rage.
I'm reflected in a photograph, thirty years my younger me,
There I was smiling sitting toddler proud on my daddy's knee.
Turn the page.
The girls were all in pink dresses, the men in suits and ties,
We stood in front of the church the day us kids got baptized.
Turn the page.
A dozen eggs with an Easter celebration, our up north vacation,
Winning an award from the radio station, the high school graduation.
Turn the page.
The album ends at nineteen, fourteen years today.
My daddy took his own life, in a horrible ugly way.
All I have are the time touched photos and memories that fade.
My life is full of life now, but the pain festers in the shade.
As time it passes, understanding comes to me with age,
It's okay to feel, okay to deal, but know when to turn the page.
Writing my journal, one day at a time,
The past is the past, and the memories are mine.
Turning the page, the world is now my stage.

Suicide is a very ugly thing. It ends the pain for the doer, but the ripples in the water it causes reaches out farther can can be imagined. We all have issues, and there is always help. Never be afraid to ask for help, to ask for advice, or to ask for a hug. Pages keep turning and there may be a better chapter ahead. Love is in every drop of ink but sometimes it is hard to see in the blackness. Know it is there. Hugsxx

One Halloween night when I was five
Rain pelted city streets, we stayed inside
Dad lit the Jack-o-lantern candle
Told us the tale of a famous vandal
One "Headless Horseman" in Sleepy Hollow
'Twas Ichabod Crane he chose to follow
Crane ran breathlessly, was terrorized
(At this point my father's eyes looked wild)
Thundering behind him through the forest
The hooves of a horse and a rider headless
Carrying a sword to strike Ichabod
(Dad grabbed a spatula, swung it like a rod)
Not just we children but our mother too
Gasped at the thought of Ichabod pursued
High winds cut off our electrical power
As in our kitchen three children cowered
Orange light from the pumpkin's evil eyes
Showed Dad seemed to have dematerialized
The youngest, I felt something run through my hair
I screamed aloud in horror and despair
The lit pumpkin fell from table to floor
Darkness as I ran through the kitchen door
Leaping into bed, pulling up the sheets
Dad snuck into my room, whispered, "Trick or treat"
So if you think I am a drama queen
Please realize that it's all in my genes
Happy Halloween!

This year we will remember
Happier times in past months of December
This year we will certainly see
A massive void where you used to be
This year we will sit and stare
At that forlorn and empty chair
This year we will sit and reminisce
You are not here for us to hug and kiss
This year we will definitely see
No gift for you under the Christmas tree
This year we will shed a tear
For dad as you are no longer here
This year we will raise a toast
To our dad who we loved the most
This year will be so difficult for us all
It was the year the Lord did my father call

Daddy's poem
Just a few words, for my two little girls,
more precious to me than diamonds and pearls.
When times are hard and its difficult to smile,
Its you that lifts me up and makes life worthwhile.
I still remember the days you were born,
as I held you, my love was torn.
Those little brown eyes staring at me,
I wanted to hold you for eternity.
When life hurts and your in shock,
Remember your daddy, will always be your rock.
As days go by and you grow older,
I know one day, will be so much colder.
When you finally leave your daddy behind,
to start your new life of a different kind...
My little girl, please never fear,
for daddy will always be here.
In darkness to wipe away that tear,
And to help life become a little clear...
Without my little girls, what would I do,
For every breath I take, is only for you...

I'm tired
I'm Physically and Emotionally tired
I don't want to be the strong one anymore
I can't this time
I don't know what to do Daddy
I need your help down here
I can't get back in control of my emotions
I'm having a hard time dealing with your absence
I'm having a hard time standing by myself
I need your help Daddy
I'm broken and lost without you Daddy
I need your will to want to carry on
I need your strength to over come this
I need your strength to stay standing
Your courage to fight back again
I need your help
Please Daddy I'm at a loss
How am I suppose to do this
I need your guidance
I need you to guide me back
To whom I was before
I need your help Daddy
I need your help

How could you get old, Daddy?
That's not supposed to happen
I'm your little girl
I can't see the stooped shoulders
I can't see the ravages of time, Daddy
Please don't get old
You were larger than life to me
Your word was gospel truth
I'd sit on your lap and fall to sleep
Knowing I was safe and sound
I'd play with your hair
and hear you sing
With that rich mellow voice
You were my comfort and strength, Daddy
Don't get old
I saw you take care of Mom
All those many years
Brushing her hair
Cooking for us kids
It was so hard to see her go from bad to worse
I knew she was going to die
You were the love birds...
Why did she have to die?
It's been fifteen years, Daddy
I've already lost one parent....
I can't even begin to think....
No, don't get old, Daddy
Don't....leave me
I love you!!!
I understood the love of God
Because of your love, Daddy
Please, don't get old

My dad is visiting me from Cyprus. Ever time he comes to visit, I see a change in him. He'll turn 79 on March 12. he is in great health, but...I can't bear the thought of a time when....I can't bear the thought. May God keep him for me for longer....My father is an educator and pastor. He has his doctorate degree in Education and his MA in theology. He is my rock. I adore the man. He also is an author, and Yes, he writes poetry. Maybe later I'll post a poem he wrote about my birth! :)

Even if I'm dizzy with an aching head,
I must not disturb the others in the beds
In this hospital ward where not much is said
For fear of making a fuss.
It's not much fun with nothing to do
Can't even get up to go to the Loo
The doctors come, and ask, 'How are you?'
It's hard to tell them which is worse
Visiting hours and here's Dad and Mum
Who immediately asks me why I'm so glum.
I tell them, 'The others had ice-cream, but I got none,
And, if it was you Dad; you'd curse!'
Patting my hand, Mum says, 'It's all right,'
And Dad says, 'You might get some tonight,
Cos you're looking better, you're not so white,
I'll go over and ask that nurse.'
Back he comes grinning down the ward,
And sits back in the chair without a word,
To Mum he whispers so he can't be heard
Then his eyes meet mine, his lips are pursed.
The doors swing open; a nurse comes through,
Carrying a tray and says, 'This is for you,
You can have some now you are healing like new,
To Mum, Dad says, 'We'll cancel the hearse!'
I've broken no bones, the x-rays prove,
But there'll be a scar and a slight groove
Left from the fencepost that failed to move
When I fell on it, off my horse
With an arm in a sling and one foot on the ground,
The other in plaster and my head bandaged round,
I'm going home soon, and my horse has been found
Across the river, but he's none the worst.
It's easy to laugh with no aching head
And it doesn't disturb the others in beds
'There is no need to fear,' as everyone says,
'Just ring the bell for the nurse!'

You Made The Stars Hush
you showed me courage
the strength to achieve all things
I hope you are proud
A simple man was he, one child of ten
who lived and worked the farm with family.
But stardust fell on him…time and again
he hid away to read his books to see
what life could offer him and he give back,
if he would leave the farm to chase his star
with talents, that would keep his dreams on track.
And so he left to raise his future's bar.
Concerned for family for what he'd done;
one son of three now gone, and only two
remained to work the land beneath the sun.
But still he followed stardust trails anew.
No school beyond eighth grade, he still pursued
production of the tube-based radio,
in nineteen-thirty, when its parts were crude
yet intricate…and he became a pro.
The stardust led him to a higher plane
whereby in time he owned a factory;
employed so many workers who would gain
good living in a time of poverty.
Oh, Dad, you hushed the stars…you did not fail.
With inner strength, you followed their bright glow,
to choose this path, that led you to prevail
and help so many people live and grow.
This gift of courage you have offered me
to follow and make use of dreams to share;
to let our stardust paths lead on to free
the will to seek the best on our life's stair.

We weren't there at the last to hold your hand
We had already said our last goodbye
You are now with the angels in the sky

If I could change one thing from the past,
This is what it would be,
There would be dancing at my wedding reception,
And we'd dance, my daddy and me.
The song that would play, "Cinderella",
About a girl who danced with her dad.
In daddy's arms he would whirl me and twirl me about,
Making my heart both happy and sad.
Happy for the joy of being his princess,
Knowing the depth of his love for me.
Sad because his little girl was a woman now,
All grown up and about to leave.
I'll never experience that dance with my dad,
The years have flown by and he's gone.
But sometimes I close my eyes and I dream,
I'm in daddy's arms whirling on.

Stepping out of the car, my father and I
after a shattering night
the skies were a dismal gray
The end of the world had taken all the light away
And dawn had taken all hope, and then had sucked all the air away
Even tears had nowhere to land
Frozen thick in our throats like dry desert sand
If just one would escape, how could they stop? ...no shoulder, ...no dam
My Dad was in shock, as he stood by the gate,
a glaze in his eyes, ...... and a million years old
My feet froze in place, my knees shivered cold
but without hesitation, I grabbed hold of his hand
I took him inside, and with deliberate intrusion
I fed him some soup, and put him to bed
He was the child, and I the adult
Day after day, somehow by default
our roles were reversed, ...and I became strong
My childhood had ended,.....and his had begun

As the music played, daddy and daughter danced.
Tomorrow his little girl would be going away
to chase her dreams - live a life of adventure.
He placed a half heart pendant upon her neck,
told her he loved her and would miss her every day.
With tears in his eyes he waved her goodbye..
His daughter wiped his tears away.
"Remember me with smiles, daddy,
for when two hearts are connected
there is no such thing as goodbye.
We will dance again," she told him
As she travelled upon the mysterious ocean
one fateful night her ship was hit by a storm.
Torrential rain and powerful winds raged
until the ship sank deep into the sea.
On that same night her daddy had a heart attack.
When two hearts are connected each one feels pain.
As he read about the tragic news about no survivors
he wanted to rip his heart out - he had no use for it now.
Even though he was breathing, he had died inside,
lost in a dark abyss of anguish sorrow and pain,
slipping deeper and deeper into depression.
All he had was the other half of her pendant to cherish.
A young girl wakes up from her slumber in hospital
as the doctor informs her she was found on a beach,
but, she struggles to remember anything - amnesia!
Around her neck a pendant reads: daddy's girl.
Although her mind has no recollection - her heart beats faster.
Her soul tries to connect with her nerve system - to remember
Sitting there heartbroken, motionless - but heart beating,
a newsflash about a girl suffering memory loss captures his attention.
To his shock his daughter is on TV with the pendant in her hands.
When two hearts connect, our soul will move heaven and earth
so that two hearts are reunited, especially those bonded by blood.

I weave through the rocks of a rough winding trail
Up through the boulders and sage
Following a ridge to the top of the hill
I'm a young girl, who's coming of age
I am sitting astride a strawberry roan
My Dad rides ahead in the haze
Climbing the crest, they're sure-footed, and know
a place to take rest, where the horses will graze
The clouds pass over, like ships setting sail
Casting shadows on the valleys below
The sky wears a palette of rose colored, pale
Our pace resumes, quiet and slow
Our voices are silent, all our words have been said
Just a whisper of bird wings, and a wisp of the chill
Our thoughts take our eyes, to a sun, scarlet red
Where it soon disappears, far over the hill
My Dad goes ahead, and has taken the lead
Lost in a mist, our eyes try to see
My mare tries to follow, and everything blurs
We continue our climb, to reach forest timber
Are those voices we hear, or birds in the air?
Up he goes on the trail, on his faithful old steed, a dream, fading into the clouds..
He is smiling, my Dad,.. on his red sorrel mare
.......while I stay behind to remember

You yearned for a son,
but could not live up to responsibilities
No good advice, just broken promises
Abandoned - when I needed you most
then died without saying goodbye
FALLEN IN 25-30 WORDS - Poetry Contest by Nette Onclaud
The Silent One
1 December 2015
The poem is about my father
Word count: 29
I hold three magic rocks, in my hand. Rolling them over and over and over. Leaving this
reality behind, far behind I stepped into the magic mirror and there I was back in 1959. It
was the same month, November. I looked around and it was the same as I remember it had
been then. Mom looked so young and beautiful and said, "The school bus will be here in a
few minutes." I looked at the calendar and saw that it was November 25th, the day before
Thanksgiving. I said, "But mom, I haven't been in school in forty years." I got this strange
look from her but she didn't say anything. Walking toward the door I caught a reflection of
myself in the hall mirror. I was so young. My hand immediately went to my face and I
stopped and stared at myself for a few minutes. I said, "Mom, can I stay home and be with
you today?" Again I got that strange look from her, then she smiled and said, "Sure, it's
your last day before Thanksgiving anyway, why not?" She and I sit down and talked for
hours. Then I said, "Do you mind if we go next door and visit with Maw Maw and Paw Paw?
I haven't seen them in so long and I've missed them terribly!" Again another strange look
from mom. Next door I saw Maw Maw and Paw Paw as they had been in 1959. I wept and
they all looked at me so strangely. I hugged them and kissed them all and we talked for
hours. Dad finally came home from work and I ran and hugged him so hard. "Dad why did
you have to leave us in June?" Again I got strange looks from everyone. My tears were
falling. I saw Aunt Frances and Uncle Bill who lived beside Maw Maw and Paw Paw. "I've
missed you both for so long." Strange looks again! They didn't understand because to them,
it was just another day in 1959. The day grew late and I knew my time was soon ending. I
got near the magic mirror and mom and dad were standing there so young and healthy. I
said, "Mom I'll see you on the other side of the mirror, but dad, I'll see you another time,
another place." They didn't understand. I stepped back through and my reflection was as it
had been before. Mom was sitting in her chair at age 84. I said, "Mom, do you remember
the day before Thanksgiving, 1959, when I stayed home from school and we spent the day
together?" She said, "Yes, it was so strange that you could never remember anything about
it. It was as though you had amnesia.

Just one more day
You left without speaking a single word
being angry for years was simply absurd
If things were different and you didn't go
would you still be the man I used to know
My father - dying from an evil severe illness
All was forgiven as you lay in gentle stillness
What would you say if we met today
would it take the heartbreak away
Maybe you would have a chance to explain
why so stubborn you wished to remain
What did I ever do to cause you so much pain?
What did I ever do to cause you so much strain?
I'm sure it was not just about sharing your name
I was your first son - never did I cause it shame
Would you tell me that you are proud
that your son didn't follow the crowd
Maybe we could sit there and talk for a while
tell me about life and what makes you smile
Talk about what made you sad - even about your dad
nobody really understood you and that made you bad
Open to me, so I can finally understand your rage
time to create a new chapter - write a new page
The sands of time never look back into the past
time to let go of those ghosts that seem to last

Just one more day contest by Laura Loo

David Beckham for Tottenham? Two weeks ago even the Spurs manager, Harry Redknapp, denied it was in the offing.
But yesterday a telling slip of the tongue appeared to indicate that negotiations have already begun to bring the former England captain to White Hart Lane.
Redknapp admitted that Beckham would be "great to have around the place", both for his football ability and for the mentoring influence he would have on players such as Aaron Lennon and younger members of the squad. The fact that the manager even responded to questions about Beckham after club sources had claimed only two days ago there was nothing to the reports linking the LA Galaxy midfielder to a three-month loan spell spoke volumes.
But then, in explaining that if Beckham joined he would not be guaranteed a start, Redknapp spoke of him in the present tense, rather than the conditional, indicating preliminary talks may have taken place. "He'd have to fight for his place, he's not going to play every game, he knows – he'd know – that," said Redknapp, correcting himself. "[But] he'd be a good influence, he's the type of lad that would be good at your club.
"He'd give the place a lift. You need people like that around you. He has been a fantastic player and is someone the players would look up to and respect. He could still do a job, for sure, if he is over his injuries and he is as fit as he thinks he is."
Beckham, who spent two three-month spells at Milan over the last two seasons, has made it clear he is keen on a similar spell of top-level football before his final season at LA Galaxy begins. He has even appeared to soften his stance on refusing to play for any Premier League side except Manchester United, where he began his professional career.
And Redknapp believes it would be mutually beneficial for both Tottenham and Beckham, especially as the club will be after experienced people in their quest for success domestically and in Europe.
"It would be good for Aaron. I am sure Aaron would love to work with him on his crossing, or his final ball," added Redknapp. "He would be a good influence around the place, for sure. He could come on and play a few positions for you. He keeps the ball, he doesn't give the ball away, he can score goals, he can make goals.
"The fans would be pleased to have someone like that here and he could still do a job – otherwise I wouldn't bother. David could come in and make a big impact. He would be someone...to bring that bit of belief."

ANNA (CBSDFW.COM) – The father of a two-year-old found unconscious in a hot car parked in front of their Anna home has been arrested.
Joshua Cartee, 32, was arrested Friday evening, one day after his two year old son Jordan was taken to Children's Medical Center. Jordan remains in critical condition.
The Collin County Sheriff confirms Jordan was found in the car around 2:30 p.m on Thursday, next to a home in the 9300 block of Sam Rayburn Parkway. He was breathing when he was found. Temperatures were in the mid-90s. Police say the child was able to get out of the home and into the car on his own unnoticed.
A spokesperson for Child Protective Services says the Cartee family had a similar incident in July with Jordan. A passerby found the little boy wandering around the property by himself, picked him up and called police.
At that time, CPS told the family that the toddler needed better supervision and the family was told to install safety locks in the home.
CPS has filed for temporary custody of Jordan once he gets out of the hospital. Another child in the home has been placed with a family member pending the outcome of the investigation.

I'm reduced to doing quick little projects now that I seem to only have very scattered little bits of time on my hands. I made this bonnet for a friends' great grand son. The ducky pattern came out of Sew Beautiful magazine. (The issue with the strawberry diaper cover on the front. I think it was May/June '12).
This is so cute. Did you make the bonnet as well as do the embroidery on it. It's adorable. Thank you for the pictures.
What a sweet little bonnet CC. Does Sprout get one too?

It's 75 degrees in the shade with hardly a breath of air, and the sun is glistening off the tarmac; in the distance, the diminutive figure of what can only be a top motorcycle racer's silhouette, can be seen jogging around the circuit, plugged into the Sex Pistols on his iPod and thinking, 'this is definitely the life.'
No it's not the coast Road in Portrush, but the famous Monza circuit in Italy where 37-year-old Falkirk rider Keith Amor is getting away from it all, before tonight's opening practice session at the Kennedy International North West 200 in association with Coca-Cola Zero.
Unlike his racing peers, who have more than likely been settling into the changeable Northern Ireland climate, Amor is soaking up the sun with his close friend and Honda World Superbike star Jonathan Rea, whilst also putting in some final preparation for one of the biggest tasks in his season: to win his first-ever international road race.
"I just like to get away from it all and over here I can chill out with Jonathan and relax," explained Amor.
"At least I know the weather will be good, which means I can go back to Northern Ireland in a positive frame of mind.
"It's good craic too as Jonathan, like me, is mega competitive and wants to win everything, whether it be making the best cup of tea, a game of golf or out running with me.".
A bit of a late starter to the two wheeled discipline, Amor, a former Kart racer, commenced his bike career on the short circuit scene back in 2001 in his native Scotland, but explained, he'd never even contemplated road racing, never mind blasting into Coleraine on a Superbike at over 180mph!
"My dad moved over to Northern Ireland when he re-married and asked me to come over and see the North West — that was in 1999.
"I watched at the Magherabuoy chicane with my mate Derek, who'd always wanted me to have a go at road racing, but I was having none of it.
"Then in 2005, after a break from bikes, I had a change of heart."
Amor's change of heart immediately catapulted him into the headlines, when he put his privately entered Suzuki onto the front row of the Superstock class, and although he couldn't replicate the qualifying position in the race, he'd certainly found his motorsport mojo.
"I only had a GSX–R1000 that first year for the Superstock class. I came with my youngest brother Guy who's the brains in our family, and I wouldn't go to a race meeting without him now to be honest.
"When we have, the wheels have nearly always fallen off. He's my sort of safety blanket."
While Amor hasn't quite found the secret podium ingredients at the North West 200, he has a phenomenal record for someone with so little experience and candidly explained that 2009, just has to be his year.
"This year we have the bikes for the job in the Wilson Craig Honda team and although I expect the races to be a dog fight, I know we have the pace to run with the BSB guys.
"If you ask me what I'd be happy with on Saturday I'd have to say two or three podiums and a win."
The words of a confident man.

LeWinter, MD ++ Normal Pericardial Anatomy and Physiology ++ The pericardium consists of two layers: a serous visceral layer, which is intimately adherent to the heart and epicardial fat, and a fibrous parietal layer. The pericardium encloses the greater part of the surface of the heart, the juxtacardial portions of the pulmonary and systemic veins, and the proximal segments of the great vessels. A significant portion of the left atrium, however, is not enclosed within the pericardium. The pericardium is attached by ligaments to the manubrium sterni, the xiphoid process, the vertebral column, and the central tendon of the diaphragm. The pericardium is not essential for sustaining life or health, as evidenced by preservation of cardiac function even if the pericardium is congenitally absent or surgically removed. The pericardium does play a role in normal cardiovascular function, however, and can be involved in a number of important disease states. The normal functions of the pericardium include maintaining an optimal cardiac shape, promoting cardiac chamber interaction, preventing the overfilling of the heart, reducing friction between the beating heart and adjacent structures, providing a physical barrier to infection, and limiting displacement during the cardiac cycle. ++ Pericardial Pressure and Normal Function ++ The true pressure in the normal pericardial space is a matter of some controversy. When measured with fluid-filled catheters, pericardial pressure is very similar to intrapleural pressure: from –1 to –2 mm Hg on average, falling to about –5 mm Hg with normal inspiration. There is considerable evidence, however, that the pressure in the normal pericardial space is best considered as a contact force between visceral and parietal pericardium and therefore is more appropriately measured by specially-designed flat balloons. When measured in this way, the pericardial pressure is clearly higher than the intrapleural pressure, although its true magnitude remains somewhat uncertain. The bulk of current evidence indicates that with normal cardiac volumes, the effective pericardial pressure ranges from 0–1 mm Hg to (at most) 3–4 mm Hg. The pericardial space between the parietal and visceral layers normally contains 15–50 mL of fluid, and the reserve volume of the pericardium is relatively small. Once this modest reserve is exceeded, intrapericardial pressure rises significantly. This can occur if the cardiac volume increases rapidly, for example, due to acute right ventricular myocardial infarction, or if additional fluid accumulates. With significant fluid in the pericardial space, fluid-filled catheters do provide accurate intrapericardial pressure measurements. ++ Infectious Pathogens ++ Viral Pericarditis ++ The most common clinical manifestation of viral involvement is acute pericarditis. An unidentified virus almost certainly underlies most cases of acute idiopathic pericarditis. The possibility of a viral cause is suggested when pericarditis occurs in the absence of other factors; it is supported by a more than fourfold rise in serial viral antibody titers during the initial weeks of illness. (Such measurement, however, is not a routine part of the management of viral pericarditis.) Frequently, a prodromal ...

Introducing USDA Results, a Year-Long Storytelling Effort of the Obama Administration's Work on Behalf of Those Living, Working and Raising Families in Rural America
Today, USDA is launching USDA Results, a progressive, year-long, multimedia storytelling effort showcasing the Administration's work on behalf of those living, working and raising families in rural America. Each month, USDA will release a new chapter of the story at medium.com/usda-results. We encourage you to check out January's chapter, Celebrating America's Farmers and Ranchers: Supporting the Producers Who Ensure a Safe, Affordable, Nutritious American Food Supply, and follow along throughout 2016.
When I began my service as Secretary of Agriculture in 2009, I took the U.S. Department of Agriculture's nickname of the 'People's Department'—first coined by President Abraham Lincoln—to heart.
President Lincoln knew the importance of agriculture to national prosperity—particularly at a time when about half of all Americans lived on the farm. He understood the critical responsibility of USDA and government to serve and support American agriculture and the rural communities who have, since the founding of our country, helped to drive innovation and economic growth on a national scale.
During the 19th Century, farmers and rural Americans helped lift up the country. During the 20th century, the hard work and success of farmers and rural Americans helped to bolster the economy and lay the foundation for the strongest nation on earth. And now again, at the beginning of the 21st Century, the unwavering productivity of farmers and rural Americans is ensuring that America continues for this century to be the freest, safest, greatest nation on earth.
Because of the strength of the agricultural sector, most Americans think that USDA's work focuses solely on agriculture; that our service to the American people begins and ends with the production of food. But those of us who call rural America home know that there's much more to USDA and rural America than just farms and ranches. From biobased products to rural manufacturing, the potential to grow and make innovative products in rural America is limitless.
That's why, over the course of the Obama Administration, USDA has made targeted investments to help rural businesses grow. Through projects in affordable housing, energy efficiency and availability, clean and reliable drinking water and wastewater systems, and internet access, coupled with loans and grants for rural businesses, we've helped to attract and retain a talented rural labor force, improve connectivity and access to information, move products to market, and make rural communities competitive—ultimately supporting strong local economies and expanded opportunity for rural Americans.
For more than 150 years, USDA employees have served the people and places of our country that are hard to reach, off the beaten track, or otherwise underserved. As agriculture has changed and evolved over the years, we have not lost sight of Lincoln's vision. While the number of Americans who are farmers today stands at less than one percent, USDA's values are still rooted in rural America and service to the American people.
Our legacy of strong service and superior results continues as our work on food, agriculture, economic development, science, natural resource conservation and a host of other issues impacts millions of Americans and billions more people around the world, every day.
We have made investments to support rural places where people can start businesses, where families want to raise their children, where young people want to live. We've supported projects that bring needed infrastructure into rural communities and help them grow. We work with farmers and ranchers to provide nutritious, affordable food to every American family. We protect the safety of the American food supply. We battle wildfire, drought, extreme weather, and pest and disease outbreaks to ensure that our land and water resources are preserved for future generations. We work to feed our nation's youth and help struggling families to put food on the table. We conduct cutting edge research that drives agricultural innovation. We support the international feeding programs that encourage millions of children, particularly young girls, around the world to attend school and get the nutrition they need to grow up healthy and strong. We preserve America's forests, grasslands and open spaces for the enjoyment of American families.
To help capture the important, and oftentimes heartening, impacts that these investments have brought about in rural communities, USDA is launching a year-long, progressive storytelling effort that focuses on capturing just that—how the U.S. Department of Agriculture under the Obama Administration has invested in and achieved results for farmers, ranchers, rural communities and every American.
Each month in 2016, USDA will release a new "chapter" of the story, focused on one aspect of our investment in Americans, rural and urban alike, over the past eight years.
January focuses on celebrating America's farmers and ranchers, who ensure a safe, affordable, nutritious American food supply. Thanks to those working in American agriculture, we pay less for our food as a percentage of our wages than any other nation in the world. That means we have more money to spend on other things, which is good for our families and the nation's economy. Thanks to the ingenuity, efficiency, and sweat of those working in American agriculture, we saw our agricultural economy remain strong and resilient, even during some tough times.
As a result of the hard work and sacrifice of farmers, ranchers and producers, Americans enjoy a rich diversity of safe and nutritious food – almost all of which comes from here in America. As a nation, we are fortunate to have the ability to grow and create virtually everything we need to survive. Our farmers, ranchers and foresters, and those in supporting industries, give us the freedom to pursue any path we choose most of us have delegated the responsibility of feeding our families to the American farmer. It's created this great freedom for us to choose and for that we owe our farmers a debt of gratitude.
I've had the privilege of serving as Secretary of Agriculture for nearly eight years—the longest-serving Cabinet Secretary in the Obama Administration and one of the longest-serving Secretaries of Agriculture ever. Over the course of those nearly eight years, I've traveled to all 50 states and countries on nearly every continent. I've talked to farmers, ranchers and Americans far and wide, from all walks of life. I've heard from them firsthand the impact of USDA's staff, programs and services on their lives and their legacies.
And despite differences in production methods, geography, and demographics, they all agree on one thing: innovation and opportunity are at the heart of the American agriculture success story.
As a matter of course, farmers and ranchers must constantly prepare, invent and adapt so that they're able to meet whatever tomorrow brings head on. But the idea of rural innovation runs deeper than that. Rural America innovates and constantly strives for improvement, no matter the obstacle. It's ingrained in the very fiber of their being, just as service is ingrained in USDA's. Service is at the heart of what good government is and does, a motto that has guided our work over the course of the Obama Administration.
More than twenty years after I entered public service and after nearly eight years as Secretary of Agriculture, I still love my job each day. Whether improving domestic and international access to food, promoting nutrition and safety of our food supply, conserving our natural resources, advancing agricultural exports, or developing the rural economy, USDA helps Americans to lead better lives. I know that I'm not alone in the pride I take in rural America, American agriculture and what USDA employees do to make a difference in the lives of Americans every day. I'm pleased to share with you this yearlong reflection on the results achieved over the course of this Administration, and I hope you enjoy it too.

This is an excellent idea. The problem with the Obama Administration is that they have achieved so much for the good of the country and average Americans but they do not get their message out to the people. They have been drowned out by the empty rhetoric of Republicans for the last eight years.
Talk about the good of Obamacare and and all of the other programs that benefit the 99 percenters.
I thank both President Obama's administration, and specifically the USDA, for the hard work undertaken to achieve more food equality in rural (and urban) parts of this country. I remain concerned, however, that there is a pervasive system of food apartheid in the way our Farmer's Markets are allowed to run. I can't imagine a single organic, or other, farmer who hasn't benefitted from government grants and other financially beneficial programs, yet the majority of Farmer's Markets are not willing to accept food stamps.
The list of excuses is too long to repeat, the reasons absurd.
I am aware of the added administrative and personnel costs of participating in the SNAP program for Farmer's Markets, but the government makes grants and training available to ensure that even poor people like me can enjoy the improved health effects of buying fresh and local. These benefits should extend beyond the country club set.
I have recently moved to Stonington, CT, in the Eastern part of the State, which is experiencing an agricultural renaissance. In town, there is a marvelous inddoor (year-round) Farmer's Market. Guess what? SNAP isn't offered at the Market. After looking around I quickly realized I could not afford most of the goods without being able to use my Food Stamps, Once outside, again, I could not help but notice the number of luxury vehicles parked along the curb, such as Mercedes station wagons. Why should this apartheid be allowed to exist when it is so plainly unjust? It specifically cuts the poor off from a vital source of year-round nutritious agricultural resources.
The solution is obvious:Require Farmer's Markets by law to offer SNAP and revoke the license of any that refuse to comply. When the farmers have already benefitted from the USDA, that benefit should be extended to SNAP recipients.
I for one am not the least bit timid about making this demand, and as a disabled person with systemic lupus, it only makes sense to translate our overwhelming need into policy action.
Thank you for your attention.

In our company's Wellness Program we are learning about healthy foods and its' nutritional value from our Eat Healthy Incentive Program. This program offers vegetables like salsify which helps to lower the blood sugar levels. We are also looking at fiddle head ferns this week and the options of recipes out in the world for this type of healthy vegetable. However, I was wondering why I do not hear about these from local farmers markets? Is this because some of the vegetables like fiddle heads and salsify are not locally grown? More education on vegetables and fruits would be beneficial to the American public. I do not think that it should be on just the schools or companies. I think Ms. Obama has done wonders with her platform and should be highly commended for getting young people involved in learning more about staying healthy. She has done so much, however, the recognition is slow in coming from American parents and teachers. I have not seen this much effort done on any other first lady's tenure to help promote fruits and veggies for our youth. Even the effort of having the White House chef prepare items from the garden was just amazing to me. Leadership starts at the top, and she was a great mentor and champion for wellness and diversity.

It's called The Headless Ritual because the vocalist screams his head completely off. Actually I have never heard anything like it. Amazing.

Virgin Black is great. I have their first release Sombre Romantic which is an interesting mix of metal/goth/symphonic strings and operatic vocals. I would call it experimental, but a great pick up for metal fans looking for something out of the box. A second album Elegant and Dying is supposed to be quite good-but I haven't heard it. Somre Romantic lacks the production values for what follows (see below).
Things got really interesting in 2007/2008 when they decided to record a trilogy. I think they only completed the first two. The front man did some serious opera vocal training and they hired a full orchestra. The idea was three recordings going from completely classical/opera to full on metal. They completed the middle album which is supposed to be an even mix of classical and metal and the final chapter which is more metal. They haven't done (at least I haven't found it) the completely classical piece. And, I kind of think, why? Right-if you want a classical release-just go out and buy one. I mean, just throw on a Hans Zimmer soundtrack!
Per your Q about metal with classical-Requiem Mezzo Forte is OUTSTANDING. It truly is a metal opera. I would call it a minor masterpiece of metal and classical and opera. I just checked out Allmusic and their reviewer writes:
After four years of relative silence following a sophomore album menacingly named Elegant and Dying, many had assumed that Adelaide, Australia's Virgin Black had probably breathed their last; but the orchestral gothic metal project was in fact very much alive, and simply grappling with the challenge of composing a two-and-a-half-hour, three-part song cycle entitled Requiem.Nevertheless, Virgin Black fans will quickly discover that this first, 52-minute mid-section of what's surely to become the band's magnum opus, already feels like the fulfillment of their thus far nebulous musical destiny. In it, their "gothic metal with strings" template is effectively transformed into an altogether grander full-blown symphony with gothic metal elements, marked by predominantly orchestral movements such as the extravagant "Requiem, Kyrie," the sublime melancholy of "Midnight's Hymn," and the suitably suicidal epic "...And I Am Suffering.
My edits:
#1: I don't like the word "goth" because it's loaded w/ negative connotations-moody, self indulgent teenagers walking malls with black eye liner,and piercings, etc. looking for attention. To my ears, it's more symphonic doomish. It took me a few listens as the symphonic elements are pretty dominant. Most of the first song is orchestral which lead me to a WTF reaction initially. I remember thinking-how is this metal? But, the orchestration builds to these heavy crushing doom parts and then back to the symphony. It has become one of my faves. For a symphonic metal release-this thing is amazing.
#2: As far as the Christian lyrics-I'm usually turned off. These are more thematic...not "give your life to Jesus" or anything. The lyrics have a medieval flavor-the suffering, sorrow, despair and pain of life, looking for answers to existential questions. At least-that's my take. I have read that the band has a complicated relationship w/ Christianity. I think they used themes rather than dogma. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they grapple w/ the contradictions of organized religion as so many of us do/have......don't let that deter you-this comment offered from someone who is not at all affiliated with any religious organization-it's all mythology to me....but anyway....
Their follow up: Requiem foritissimo, is also really cool, but quite different. Gone for the most part are the operatic vocals. This is an old school doom/death album with a symphony backing up the band and it totally works, but as stated-more metal and less classical. The classical/orchestral and even group operatic elements come in as flourishes or highlights to basically a heavy doom death release. the guitar parts very thick and heavy the way I like my doom. The guitarist I believe is a woman w/ male vocalist a la Boris. Fortissimo is a marked contrast to Messo Forte and the two play nicely back to back-flow from classical/metal-mostly metal w/ death vocals which I believe is the idea.
Final edit: I like some classical, but do not like opera at all. I would never go out and purchase an operatic piece of music. If I want classical music, it tends to be background instrumental. Yet, it works for me here. In addition to training w/ a vocal coach and hiring an orchestra, the band also hired professional opera singers-gorgeous female vocals in particular that are not a turn off to me-a non opera fan. Just beautiful music.
If you have bothered to read my post and are not familiar with Virgin Black, you probably get the idea that this is not traditional metal. Don't think Nightwish, even Therion (BTW, Therion's Lemuria A and B would be another great pick for fusing classical and metal-but more traditional). These two albums have good production, but are definitely an "off the beaten track" choice.
I think they are amazing-but I'm always looking for something different. I categorize them w/ other unusual choices like Sigh, Stolen Babies, Unexpect-all very different but all experimental in their own way.

virgin black is great, i have their discography.
their lyrical content are far more sorrow based than any happy moralistic approach...in some ways they are far darker than a lot of the hipster BM crap out nowadays
and to vaed, good rec on mirrorthrone, i'd never heard them but i like that a lot, will pick some up for sure!
Lol-I loved macabre eternal
But still....the only Thrash bands I really like, are Vektor
And Revocation
I like my music prog-ish :3
Vektor are very good.You might like cynic-its a little weird but a classic
I love Cynic :D
I wouldn't call them weird, though. Hmm maybe very....futuristic? Yeah something like that.
^the robot vocals kill it for some
I take it you like atheist aswell
Don't mock Cynic lovers, old school death metaller (Lover of Entombed and Lurker of Chalice maybe).. HE HE HE
EDIT: Sounded good in my head...
A strange and forgotten gem
Early entombed lover-cant gel with their later stuff
But I like Cynic more. Real "Jazz Metal" bands are far to rare these days :(
