She sat on the ground with her knees to her chest, one wrist chained loosely to the wall of the enclosure.

She heard a knock on the door of her brick box. "Sorry,"
I appreciate my dreams a lot. Sometimes they are totally random, bizarre, and forgettable, and sometimes I learn things from them. I might see things in a different light, or from another person's point of view, or maybe see an attitude of mine that needs adjusting.

After this long
internal fight
I knew that time
would shed its light
from now until
that time had come
I lay there hurt
and so alone
During the day
the sights and sounds
kept it away
or at least down
the nights then
I went for a walk today with my Father. And I skinned my knee. He knew that would happen! He knows everything! I should have asked Him. When He said "Let's go for a walk", I should have asked Him if I was going to get hurt. Then, I could have stayed home.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations' Michigan Chapter (CAIR-MI) celebrated its 11th anniversary at its annual banquet at the Hyatt Regency in Dearborn last Sunday, attracting about 900 people, including renowned journalist and Pulitzer Prize Winner Leonard Pitts Jr. of the Miami Herald, who gave the keynote address.
The honorable Congressman John D. Dingell, who has been the longest serving member of the United States House of Representatives, was presented with the 'CAIR-MI Civil Rights Defender and Lifetime Achievement Award' at the event. Congressmen Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), Rep. André Carson (D-IN), Rep. Hansen Clarke (D-MI), and several other state and district representatives were also present at the event, including Mayor of Lansing Virg Bernero, Wayne County Commission Chairman Gary Woronchak, judges of the Wayne County Circuit Court, and chiefs of the Dearborn and Canton Police Department. Lt. Todd Mutchler of the Canton Police Department, who is a co-founder of the 'Canton Response to Hate Crimes Coalition', was awarded with the 'CAIR-MI Excellence in Diversity Award' at the event.
Several Imams, including the notable Imam Johari Abdul-Malik (of the Dar Al Hijrah Center in Virginia) who was the fundraising speaker, respected priests, and representatives from over 20 Muslim centers and churches joined the gathering; with all the honorable guests truly representing those who lead the efforts in maintaining justice and peace in the community.
Mr. Bill Gallagher, from Fox 2 News Detroit, was the MC at the annual banquet, which was aptly themed "Uncensored: The Freedom to Speak", covering a vital issue in need of emphasis at this time.
The event opened with the recitation of verses from the Holy Qur'an, and welcoming remarks by the banquet coordinator, Suehaila Amen. In his opening remarks, Mr. Bill Gallagher lauded CAIR as being in the forefront as a leader in the civil rights arena, with a responsive staff that effectively dealt with the continuous challenges they faced. President of CAIR-MI, Dr. Jukaku Tayeb, asserted in his speech that American Muslims are 'peace-loving, patriotic citizens of this country', and the challenging situations they encounter can be diffused with love and tolerance. He welcomed peaceful engagement with Florida pastor Terry Jones, who has planned a protest in Dearborn this April.
Rep. André Carson, who represents Indiana's 7th district, and is one of the two Muslim Congressmen in the US, emphasized the importance of the political engagement of the Muslim community, and the significance of advocacy groups such as CAIR. "We need a bold leadership today," he said, leaders that are "unafraid to speak truth to power". He commended CAIR on being proactive in its protection of Muslims' civil rights, and also indicated that Muslims should recede from a 'reactionary' stance, and alert authorities the moment they see any instance of radicalization among community members.
Honorable Congressman John Dingell, who was presented with the 'CAIR-MI Civil Rights Defender and Lifetime Achievement Award' stated that CAIR was a "great organization, dedicated to the ideals of this nation." He held up a copy of the Constitution, indicating the values that it protected and which all citizens have a right to defend.
In his powerful keynote address, Leonard Pitts Jr. recited verses from the poem 'Let America Be America Again' by Langston Hughes, giving a stark reminder of the fact that America's 'promise' of freedom and equal rights for all has yet to be fulfilled. He pointed to the 'unspoken casualty' when it came to the image of Muslims in the media. Whether it was the speculations about President Obama being a Muslim, or the overstated statistics of the growth of the American Muslim population, people would forget to ask why it should even be an issue of concern if the cases were true. Following 9/11, there was no mention of Muslims who were victims of the attack, neither does the media acknowledge Muslims who "fight extremism" around the world, Pitts indicated.
He reminded the audience that outrageous xenophobic reactions have taken place throughout American history with different ethnic groups, and it's just the "names that have changed". It continues today with Muslims being stigmatized. He told Muslims to be "loud and bold" or else others would define who they are. The modern generation should use the communication technologies they possess to put forth the correct image of Muslims. "Time is neutral. Time does not make change. It is people who make change," Pitts said. CAIR-MI Executive Director Imam Dawud Walid noted the recent accomplishments of CAIR-MI, including its work to defeat the Arizona-style immigration bill proposed in Michigan in 2010, its efforts towards gaining approval for a mosque to be built in Sterling Heights in the midst of Islamophobic protests, and its pressing for investigation into the invasive and aggressive tactics against Muslims by security agents at the US-Canada border, among its other work in the past year. Imam Dawud thanked Rep. John Conyers for his support in the US-Canada border investigation.
CAIR-MI has also conducted sensitivity trainings with police departments and school teachers, and continuously trains and encourages Muslims towards greater civic engagement. It recently co-organized the 'Muslim Capitol Day' in Lansing last week, where Muslim citizens engaged with Governor Snyder and other elected officials. Highlighting CAIR-MI's vital role in protecting Muslims from Islamophobic attacks, Imam Dawud said he expected even more challenges to come. "There are people working to strip our rights from us" he pointed out, and that "freedom is not free." The community's continuous support and engagement is necessary, and he told us to look to our brothers and sisters in North Africa for inspiration.
Other speakers from CAIR-MI included CAIR-MI Board Trustee Dr. Muzammil Ahmed, Vice President Lila Alcodray-Amen, Staff Attorney Lena Masri, and Outreach Coordinator Raheem Hanifa. CAIR-MI Board Trustees Haaris Ahmad and Moheeb H. Murray presented the Rosa Parks Scholarship Award to eight deserving 12th graders, who had submitted essays on how the "actions and legacy of Rosa Parks are relevant in today's society, and what lessons we can use in the current civil rights' challenges". The scholarships were sponsored by the University of Michigan Dearborn, the Henry Ford Community College and CAIR-MI.
Imam Johari, who was the fundraising speaker at the banquet, praised the institutional strength of CAIR, and its continuous action towards safeguarding the rights of the community. "CAIR saves lives," said Imam Johari, referring to its efforts in preventing hate attacks and informing the public. Following dinner, the event ended with a dua' recitation by Imam Dawud Walid. CAIR-MI must be congratulated for its consistent dedication towards protecting the rights of the Muslim community in the US, and we must all realize the significant work that it does, and support it in its valuable efforts.

In key American Muslim enclave, alienation is growing
By Dan Gilgoff, CNN.com Religion Editor
Madison Heights, Michigan (CNN) – Dawud Walid asked the worshipers for a show of hands: How many had heard about the Muslim radicalization hearings in Washington earlier that day?
About half of the 50 or so Muslims in the banquet hall-turned-mosque indicated that they had.
So Walid, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations' Michigan chapter, briefed the other half about the hearing, calling it an "unfortunate first in American history."
Then he went further, warning about what he said were a handful of growing threats to American Muslims.
"As we approach the 10th anniversary of September 11, we are seeing unprecedented acts of Islamophobia," Walid told the worshipers at the American Islamic Community Center, 10 miles north of Detroit.
"After 9/11, it was coming from a few right-wingers," he said. "But now, in 2011, we're seeing it from Congress."
Walid went on to tell the congregation that a dozen states – from Georgia to Missouri to New Mexico – are considering bans on Sharia, or Islamic law, and warned that such bans could lead to prohibitions on women wearing the hijab, or headscarf, and even on Muslims worshiping Allah.
"Praying five times a day is Sharia," he said. "Do you go to jail for that?"
As one of the largest and oldest Muslim enclaves in the nation – and, with its century-old ties to Ford Motor Co., one that's intimately bound up in the modern American story – the metro Detroit community is perhaps as close as one can get to the soul of American Islam.
At a time when the country is wrestling with its views on Islam, the faith causes relatively little friction in the largely Arab cocoon of southeast Michigan.
But narratives playing out in the national media, from the radicalization hearings spearheaded by New York Republican Rep. Peter King to the wave of proposed Sharia bans to anticipation of the September 11 anniversary, have left many Muslims here feeling ostracized in their own country.
The community is growing more defensive in the face of what many here say is a national climate of suspicion reminiscent of the period immediately after the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
In response to what he called "a spike in anti-Muslim bigotry," Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Illinois, is holding a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing Tuesday on "measures to protect the rights of American Muslims."
Witnesses will include Roman Catholic Cardinal Theodore McCarrick – the former archbishop of Washington – and the top civil rights officials from the administrations of Barack Obama and George W. Bush.
On this Thursday night, however, worshipers at the American Islamic Community Center echoed the embattled tone of the guest speaker from Center for American-Islamic Relations.
Hadir Ghazala, a 49-year-old Iraqi immigrant in a black-and-white polka-dot hijab, said she'd been turned down for jobs at local salons because she refused to remove her headscarf.
Mohammed Elzhemni, 39, bemoaned what he called a growing national stereotype of Muslims as terrorists.
"These people raise their families and work hard," he said, gesturing to a cluster of small children chasing each other across the mosque's faux marble floor. "I'm a manager at GM and work to make the country better. This is the true face of Islam."
At a time when King and others are alleging that radical American Muslims pose an under-acknowledged threat to national security, a popular refrain among Detroit-area Muslims is that they're the ones under attack.
The sentiment is especially acute at the Islamic Center of America, which calls itself the nation's largest mosque.
This year, police said they thwarted an explosives attack on the house of worship in Dearborn, just west of Detroit city limits. In January, police arrested a man in the center's parking lot in a car they said was packed with fireworks.
Police said the suspect, Roger Stockham, drove to Dearborn from California. He faces two felony charges carrying maximum sentences of up to 20 years.
The arrest provoked state and local law enforcement agencies to urge the 70,000-square-foot mosque to bolster security and develop a new emergency response plan.
"We've never had an incident like that, where we were targeted by someone who wanted to do us harm based on who we are," said Kassem Allie, the center's executive administrator.
To Allie, the incident is evidence that some Americans are being radicalized against Islam, turning the allegation of growing Muslim radicalization on its head.
"The suspect was apparently radicalized quite some time ago," Allie said. "And there are other instances of radicalization that are of great concern to us.
"I have no problem addressing Islamic radicalization," he said, monitoring the mosque's security cameras from a computer screen in his ground-floor office. "But there should be an acknowledgment that other communities have the same problem."
Indeed, a common complaint around Dearborn, the epicenter of southeast Michigan's Muslim community, is that the only time religion is mentioned in a crime story is when the suspect is Muslim.
"When Timothy McVeigh did his bombing, we didn't investigate or blame Christianity," said Al Machy, 32, referring to the 1995 attack on a federal building in Oklahoma City that left 168 dead.
Machy works behind the counter at the Golden Bakery on Warren Avenue, a miles-long Dearborn strip lined with halal butchers, hookah bars, Lebanese restaurants and locally owned groceries with names like Baghdad Market and Sahara West. Signs for most businesses are in Arabic.
"Every day, there are hundreds of rapes and murders, and they never put the words 'Christian' or 'Jewish' in the story," said Machy, an Iraqi refugee who arrived in the U.S. after the Gulf War.
Unlike most such crimes, in which religion doesn't appear to be an issue, recent instances of homegrown terrorism – such as 2009's Fort Hood shooting and last year's failed Times Square bomb plot – were allegedly carried out in the name of Islam.
But many Muslims around Dearborn say those cases garner inordinate news attention while recent attacks against Muslim Americans, including the defacing and burning of mosques, are largely neglected.
According to the Justice Department, there were 107 anti-Muslim hate-crime incidents in 2009, the most recent year for which statistics are available, compared with 28 such incidents in 2000.
After a sharp spike in 2001, when there were 481 anti-Muslim hate crime incidents, there have since been fewer than 200 such incidents annually, though there were generally fewer than 50 in the years before 2001.
Muslim advocacy groups, including the Council on American-Islamic Relations, say they have seen a more recent uptick in anti-Muslim threats and violence.
Officials at the Islamic Center of America, which draws about 1,200 worshipers for Friday prayers, say local law enforcement encouraged them to take a low-key public stance on the January explosives arrest. Authorities wanted to avoid inspiring copycat attacks or reprisals, mosque officials said.
The mosque issued a news release after the suspect's arrest but limited its interviews with the media. Chuck Alawan, 80, a founding board member of the mosque, has some regrets about the mosque keeping relatively quiet about the incident.
"You never hear about all the threats against mosques," Alawan said in the thick Midwestern accent of a lifelong Michigan resident.
"I was born in this country, and I have never felt persecuted," he said. "But it's getting close to that."
As Alawan spoke, a surveyor from the Michigan Department of Transportation was setting up equipment on the mosque's lawn as part of a "vulnerability study" after the January incident.
Last week, the Islamic Center of America learned that the Florida pastor who triggered an international firestorm last year by threatening to burn the Quran would take part in an April protest at the mosque.
The protest against "Sharia and Jihad" is scheduled for Good Friday, two days before Easter.
"It is necessary that we set very clear lines for Muslims that are here in America," Terry Jones, the Florida pastor, said in a statement Wednesday announcing his plans to protest at the Dearborn mosque. "If they desire to change our Constitution, in other words to institute Sharia, then these Muslims are no longer welcome in our country."
Officials at the Islamic Center of America are still deciding how to respond, though they are leaning toward a Good Friday counter-event that would bring together religious leaders of different backgrounds to encourage tolerance and interfaith dialogue.
"For us to try to fight fire with fire like in this case – to fight hate with hate – is really unproductive and actually destructive," said Allie, the mosque's executive administrator. "Under different circumstances, we'd welcome a dialogue with Terry Jones or other detractors, but it's got to be civilized."
Developments like the mosque protest have some local law enforcement officials sympathizing with growing Muslim anxiety.
Dearborn Police Chief Ronald Haddad is among them. He estimates that he has received 10,000 anti-Muslim "hate e-mails," some calling him a "Taliban police chief" or alleging that he's persecuting Christians.
The senders assume he's Muslim because of his last name, Haddad says, even though he's a Christian of Lebanese descent.
Like Alawan and Haddad, many Arab-Americans in the area trace their local roots back generations. The first big wave of Middle Easterners arrived in southeast Michigan around 1910 to man Henry Ford's automobile plants in Highland Park and Dearborn.
Those immigrants were mostly Christians from the area that is now Lebanon but was then part of the Ottoman Empire.
"Ford seemed to think that that this particular segment of the empire was industrious and productive and a good source of cheap labor," said Saeed Khan, a lecturer in Islamic history, politics and culture at Wayne State University in Detroit.
Khan said Ford also favored immigrants from that region because, unlike some other groups, they tended to be light-skinned.
After the defeated Ottoman Empire was carved up at the end of World War I, Christians were given favored status in the newly created Lebanon, provoking more Muslims to exit the region. Some wound up in new Arab strongholds like metro Detroit.
"Especially after Henry Ford announced the $5 workday, (immigrants) would get off the train in Detroit looking for work, and police would pick them up and take them to Ford's Rouge plant to apply," Dearborn Mayor John O'Reilly said, referring to a huge Dearborn manufacturing facility that opened in the 1920s.
Today, southeast Michigan's Muslim population is estimated at nearly half a million, Khan said. Though there are larger Muslim populations in New York and Southern California, there are few places in the country with such a heavy concentration of Muslims.
"Once Henry Ford established that community, it had a pull effect and became an epicenter of Arab life," Khan said. "It was influenced by employment opportunities and the availability of resources like mosques and schools."
Though Dearborn retains its Lebanese flavor, the area's Muslim community includes many immigrants from India, Pakistan, Yemen and elsewhere, along with a growing Eastern European contingent and many African-Americans.
The historic Muslim presence here helps explain why local allegations of Islamophobia are pretty rare – and why Haddad, the police chief, suspects that most of his anti-Muslim e-mail is from outsiders.
Zeinab Dbouk-Chaayto, a recent immigrant from Lebanon, says that she was the only woman donning a hijab when she took classes recently at Madonna University, a Catholic school in Livonia, just west of Dearborn, but that no one gave her any trouble.
The school's conservative culture jibed with her Muslim values. "There's no partying and no alcohol," she said, adding that administrators in a school office where she worked even threw her a baby shower and a birthday party.
Local law enforcement officials, for their part, say they strengthened ties to greater Detroit's Muslim leadership after September 11, launching a program called Bridges to create an ongoing dialogue between those leaders and the FBI, state and local law enforcement, and other government agencies.
"Sometimes, there's a relative who feels that someone in the family might be doing things that probably aren't in the long-term best interest of the country, and they want to bring that forward," said O'Reilly, the Dearborn mayor, explaining the program.
"But they don't want to be responsible for throwing a family member in jail," he said. "There's a delicacy to that, so they have a dialogue about where people can bring this stuff forward."
Haddad, the Dearborn police chief, said the Bridges program helped create a parents' task force to combat gang activity in the city's Yemeni community. That move contributed to an 11% drop in crime in the heavily Yemeni South End neighborhood last year, he said.
At the same time, many Muslims around Dearborn are convinced that they are under government surveillance, exacerbating feelings of alienation.
Sitting with friends at the Islamic Center of America, Alawan says, they often joke that law enforcement has the mosque's phones tapped and its rooms bugged.
"The agencies will deny it," he said. "But we know they're doing it."
The suspicion was given credence after FBI agents killed a Muslim cleric in an October 2009 raid in Dearborn.
The charges against the imam, Luqman Ameen Abdullah – which included mail fraud and the illegal possession and sale of firearms – were based on information from three confidential FBI informants who'd infiltrated Abdullah's mosque.
The case raised the specter of government spies in other Dearborn area mosques and prompted a 2010 letter of protest from Michigan Democratic Rep. John Conyers to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.
"People of all faiths should be free to worship without undue fear that the person in the next pew is a government agent," Conyers wrote, invoking the FBI's wiretapping of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. as a regrettable precedent for such surveillance.
Many Muslims around Dearborn find it ironic that what they see as a growing suspicion of Muslims in America comes at a time when much of the Arab world, from Tunisia to Egypt to Libya, is rising up against despotic leaders and demanding more U.S.-style freedoms.
"While the Islamic world is rising up against dictatorship, dishonesty, deception and corruption … America should show solidarity with people who are looking for dignity and democracy," Imam Mohammad Ali Elahi told hundreds of worshipers at recent Friday prayers at the Islamic House of Wisdom in Dearborn Heights, a mosque situated across the street from Henry Ford Community College.
"That's not the right time to bring another wave of Islamophobia and ignorance," he said, blasting the King hearings of the previous day. "It is so dangerous to provoke people who are ready to commit hate crimes with this kind of wrong information."
Elahi wasn't referring to the danger of inciting Muslim radicals to commit terrorism against the United States. The threat, in his eyes, is that Americans will be provoked to terrorize Muslims.

Conyers: Muslim queries out of line
Conyers: Muslim queries out of line
Congressman to initiate investigation of alleged harassment
Nathan Hurst / Detroit News Washington Bureau
Washington— U.S. Rep. John Conyers, D-Detroit, wants a federal inquiry into allegations that border control agents are unfairly targeting Muslim Americans.
Conyers, the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, said Friday in a statement he was "contacting the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security to initiate an investigation of these allegations."
The Michigan chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations said Thursday it had received complaints from American Muslims who said they were detained for lengthy questioning.
"I had an American passport, and I was put in a cell for four hours," Ann Arbor teacher Kheireddine Bouzid, who is of Algerian descent, said Thursday. "They asked me if I could give them the names of any terrorists."
The CAIR-Michigan complaints were outlined in a letter sent to Homeland Security officials this week, and a spokesman said its Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties would investigate.
"We welcome Congressman Conyers' concern regarding reported violations of American Muslims' civil liberties and look forward to his leadership in addressing this issue in the Congress," said a statement Friday from Dawud Walid, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations-Michigan.
CAIR alleged Muslims stopped at border posts in Michigan — including the Blue Water Bridge and Ambassador Bridge — were asked questions like "Do you pray five times a day?" and "What do you think of Anwar al-Awlacki?" — a Yemini-American cleric associated with al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
Conyers said such questioning was out of line. "The American-Islamic community should know that the federal government will protect the interest of the community, while maintaining the appropriate focus on national security," he said.
Conyers Initiates Investigation of Religious Profiling by U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency in Michigan
Conyers Initiates Investigation of Religious Profiling by U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency in Michigan
(Detroit)—Today, Congressman John Conyers, Jr. (D-Mich.) issued the following statement regarding allegations charging the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency (CBP) with improper and inappropriate interrogations singling out American-Islamic citizens.
"The allegations of religious profiling raised by Michigan's Council on American-Islamic Relations in Detroit yesterday should be of concern to all Americans," said Conyers. "CAIR has alleged that U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents have engaged in a pattern of invasive body searches and interrogations concerning the religious beliefs of American-Islamic citizens while returning home from Canada."
In CAIR's letter to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, CAIR described the interrogations as follows:
The passengers hand their passports to an agent. The passengers are immediately told to turn their vehicles off. Within seconds, their vehicles are surrounded by agents brandishing weapons in their direction, whether or not there are women and children in the car. In some instances, there are snipers. The men are thrown against their vehicles, handcuffed, and taken inside for questioning. An invasive and humiliating body search is performed, which many have described as sexual harassment. Some are left handcuffed for hours on end, in many cases standing upright. Others are left in a cell. At least a dozen Muslim women of Somali origin have also reported being subjected to invasive and humiliating searches at the border that they felt were inappropriate and a form of sexual harassment.
American Muslims crossing the border have reported in alarming numbers that they are being subjected to extensive inappropriate questioning pertaining to religion and religious practices. A number of questions appear to be most common:
1. Do you pray five times a day?
2. Which mosque do you pray at?
3. Do you pray your morning prayer at the mosque?
4. Who is the Imam (religious leader) at your mosque?
5. Who else prays at your mosque?
6. Which Muslim charities have you donated to?
7. Which Muslim countries have you traveled to?
8. During your travels to these countries, have you been approached by anyone suspicious?
9. What do you think of Anwar al-Awlacki?
10. Which Muslim organizations are you affiliated with?
11. Are you affiliated with any terrorist organizations?
12. Do you know any terrorists?
13. Are there terrorists in your mosques?
All in all, the process can take anywhere between two to ten hours. More disconcerting is that these same individuals report being subjected to the same mistreatment and inappropriate questioning each and every time they cross the border.
"With federal hearings on radicalization and intense scrutiny by law enforcement of religious institutions, the American-Islamic community today is living in a climate that has the risk of producing a siege mentality," said Conyers. "I am therefore contacting the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security to initiate an investigation of these allegations, and I will be consulting Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas)."
"The American-Islamic community should know that the federal government will protect the interests of the community, while maintaining the appropriate focus on national security. These allegations of racial and religious profiling at the border are not new and have been supported by previous studies of the Government Accountability Office. For example, in 2000, the GAO found that the U.S. Customs' patterns used to select airline passengers for more intrusive searches resulted in women and minorities being selected at rates that were not consistent with the rates of finding contraband."

A few months back I wrote a post about the new Chris Mann album and I have since fallen in love with the the song called Roads. Below I have posted the lyrics & the video so that you can see what I am talking about before I tell you why I love the song.
There are roads in this life that we all travel
There are scars and there are battles where we roam
When we are lost or wherever we may go
They will always lead you homeThere are roads that have lead me to another
To a friend or to a lover I have known
For every turn is a year that I have grown
As I walk along these roadsSome are long and some are weathered
Some will lead you through a storm
When you've gone astray you will find your way
As you walk along these roadsThere were times when I stumbled and I wondered
But every choice and every step I don't regret
Cause I have lived and I have loved like no other
I won't fear what lies aheadSome are long and some are weathered
Some will lead you through a storm
When you've gone astray you will find your way
As you walk along these roadsThere are roads in this life that I have traveled
There are scars and there are battles, these I know
Cause I'd be lost but no matter where I go
They will one day lead me home
They will one day lead me homeSource
I am sure most of you know by now that I love music. I always seem to find songs that fit perfectly into my life at the certain moment in time. I received this CD in order for me to review it and I listened to it a few times and thought it was good but it ended up in my car and I didn't listen it again up until last week. When I randomly put in the CD while I was on my way home from work the title track just hit me differently than it did when I first heard it. I really can't even pick just one part of the song because I love everything the song says.
I have had a lot of personal things going on that I haven't blogged about and I don't think I will ever blog about and this song describes how I have been feeling lately about my life and where I see myself going. I look at my life and I realize more than anything that this song is so true.
Since my daughters birthday this past July I have decided that I am going to go down a road that I have known I need to go down for awhile but I have been too scared to make the first step. Now that I have been on this road for a few months I know without a doubt that this where I need to be and I finally happy with where I am at. For the first time in years I can honestly say I am the happiest I have been. That being said there are things and people that I miss dearly but I know I am where I should be right now.
This is the verse that I keep reading over and over in my head.
There were times when I stumbled and I wondered
But every choice and every step I don't regret
Cause I have lived and I have loved like no other
I won't fear what lies ahead
I have learned that I will never regret and of the choices and decisions I have made because without all of them I wouldn't be the person I am today. I also am not going to live my life fearing the future because everything that happens is meant to be and will make me an even stronger person.

Make an appointment with Family Planning or Planned Parenthood. You can search for a Planned Parenthood near you at
They will explain all of your birth control options and give you whatever method you do end up choosing.

You could also pull the "I want to make my periods easier" or "I want a b/c pill for my acne" or "I want to be able to control when my periods come" excuse for your parents. If they are smart, they will listen and not ask questions. Plus, most pills really do most of these things, so it's not really a lie.
If you don't want to do that, planned parenthood is confidential and they charge on a sliding scale so if you have no money you won't have to pay much. And once you start having sex, you should be getting an annual exam from a gyno. At your annual they also usually prescribe birth control if you need more. They do this at planned parenthood too.

"Rarely do memoirs of grief combine anguish, love, and fury with such elegance.†— Entertainment Weekly A moving and remarkable memoir about the sudden death of a daughter, surviving grief, and learning to love again.
Ann Hood was born on December 9, 1956, in West Warwick, R.I. She attended the University of Rhode Island and New York University. For several years, she worked as a flight attendant before pursuing her dream of becoming a writer. Ann Hood had a dream of writing ever since her first "novel" at the age of 11. It was not until 1987, with the publication of Somewhere off the Coast of Maine that she received the recognition she had been longing for. Set in the period from the 1960s to the 1980s, the story deals with the lives of three women of the Vietnam era and their children. Strong on emotion and personal growth, Hood's writing frequently examines the intricacies of various levels of relationships. Other works include Something Blue, which also involves the association between three friends.

Meg for Fauxgerty is the hand-painted work of Meg(an) Ebaugh-Faris. Through the use of symbols, imagery and items from the everyday brain download, she lays down a conglomeration of whatnot. The main goal has been achieved when the smorgasbord makes sense to her. But, the real gratification comes when the viewer identifies with it as well. Score.
A comment on the energy we project, and how careful and/or careless we can be with our words and actions. Always consequences…short term and long term…affecting ourselves and others. You know all of the cliches…'what goes around, comes around', and the like – truth. There's always a bad egg that thrives on the downfall of others, hence that red -. We can only be accountable for ourselves. Flick out some love.
This collection was designed and hand-painted in St. Louis, produced in NYC. It is composed of a PU and polyester shell and silk lining embroidered with the collection's title, MEG FOR FAUXGERTY. One size.

Flexera Software Announces Retirement of President and CEO Mark Bishof
Appoints COO Jim Ryan as Successor
Itasca, IL - Nov 17, 2015 - Flexera Software, the leading provider of next-generation software licensing, compliance, security and installation solutions for application producers and enterprises, announced today the December 31, 2015 retirement of CEO Mark Bishof and named Jim Ryan, currently the company's COO, to assume the role of CEO on January 1, 2016.
Mr. Bishof has served as President and CEO of Flexera Software since its inception in April, 2008, when it spun out from Macrovision. Mr. Bishof has been a driving force behind the company's strategic direction and consistently strong operational performance. He has led the Flexera Software on a steady and consistent growth path, and hands over the reins as the company continues to expand its leadership position in each of the markets in which it competes. Mr. Bishof will assist in a smooth transition through the remainder of the year.
"Over the past few years, Flexera Software has created tremendous value for our customers and shareholders," said Mr. Bishof. "I am very fortunate to have had one of the best teams in the industry with which to drive Flexera Software forward. I am also thankful for continued commitment demonstrated by our Advisory Committee and the appetite of our leading investors over the last seven years, the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan and Thoma Bravo, to make strategic investments in return for profitable long-term growth."
"Mark has done an exceptional job of growing the business, defining a strategic vision and executing to become a market leader," said John Shackleton, Chairman of Flexera Software. "Given Mark's commitment to the business, particularly over the past seven years, we respect his decision to move on from the company. The Advisory Committee is very pleased to have a successor in Jim Ryan who is prepared to continue Flexera Software's trajectory of strong and profitable growth."
Jim Ryan has held leadership positions in Flexera Software since 1998 and is intimately familiar with all aspects of the company's operations around the world. After joining InstallShield® Software (the predecessor entity of Flexera Software) in 1998, Mr. Ryan joined Macrovision's executive team in 2004 when InstallShield was acquired. In 2008 he then helped lead the spinoff of Macrovision's Software Business Unit to private equity and helped launch Flexera Software as an independent entity. Prior to becoming Flexera Software's Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Ryan was Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales where he led consistent and strong revenue growth. During Mr. Ryan's tenure, he has lived in the United Kingdom for seven years leading the company's EMEA operation and has had responsibility for services, technical support, operations and pre-sales teams.
"With over seventeen years' at Flexera Software, Jim's extensive experience in overseeing all aspects of the business combined with his consistent track record of driving revenue growth has positioned him as the ideal person to lead the company's next phase of growth," said Mark Bishof, CEO of Flexera Software. "The Advisory Committee and I have worked closely on succession planning, and this process will lead us through a smooth leadership transition. We are very confident Jim is the right person to continue to drive Flexera Software's growth strategy."
"I am very excited to move into this role and look forward to further enhancing Flexera Software's position as the market leader for increasing application usage and value," said Mr. Ryan. "I'm honored to have been affiliated with the employees, customers, partners and solutions of Flexera Software all these years. I've also been fortunate to have had the opportunity to partner with Mark Bishof and look forward to continuing on with the great work he has completed to date. Finally, I am appreciative of the support the Advisory Committee has shown towards me in this transition and look forward to collaborating with them in the future."

Winner of the 2014 Modderman Prize
In the past decades, the process of European integration has influenced all fields of law, and eventually also criminal law. Whereas the creation and enforcement of criminal liability used to be purely a national matter, European legislation now requires Member States to criminalize all sorts of harmful conduct. However, this legislation does not determine the full scope of criminal liability, omitting to define general principles of criminal law. For example, the Union refers to 'intention' in its legislation, but it has not determined what qualifies as such. As a result, what is criminal in one State may not be in another, which runs counter to the goal of harmonization.
This book aims to remedy this by establishing what mens rea and defences should look like in European criminal law. Should intentional conduct also encompass those consequences that were not wanted, but merely foreseen as possible side-effects? Should the European legislator be allowed to criminalize conduct that does not require any proof of mens rea? What justifications and excuses could a defendant raise in Court? Can torture or murder ever be excused? To answer these questions, this book infers common principles of mens rea and defences from European law and the legal systems of the Member States. Subsequently, it merges them into one coherent and enforceable system.
About this book
'…this study performs a great service to scholars of comparative criminal law. Mens rea brings to life current academic discussions across the three national jurisdictions in what is arguably becoming the legal lingua franca in the European Union (if not yet Luxembourg): English. This makes scholarship in Dutch and German accessible to the linguistically challenged, without at the same time obscuring linguistic issues typical to EU law. The work offers a structured approach to subjective elements which can form the basis of analysis in a comprehensive study of all EU criminal jurisdictions, or in international comparisons.'

Golf Rankings for Zurich Classic of New Orleans
Cameron Tringale [Yahoo Class B]
Tringale has seen his finish at TPC Louisiana improve from a T28 in 2010 to a T18 in 2011, followed by a career-best T7 last year. Since February, Tringale owns five finishes inside the top 30 and two missed cuts in seven starts.
Charles Howell III [Yahoo Class B] - World Ranking: #63
Howell is a very capable player, but an inconsistent one. He's finished 12th or better in two of his last four starts, but is coming off a missed cut at Harbour Town. CH3 has finished T2, T43, T13 and T39 the last four years at TPC Louisiana.
Jordan Spieth [Yahoo Class B] - World Ranking: #6
After two lackluster performances, Spieth came right back with a T9 at Harbour Town. The 19-year-old has now registered three top-10s in just seven starts this season and is already closing in on a Tour card for next year.
Jeff Overton [Yahoo Class C]
This week is Overton's first start since a season-high T7 at TPC San Antonio. Over the last four years in this event, he has finished inside the top 20 each time.
Ernie Els [Yahoo Class C]
Els made his first career start at TPC Louisiana last year and lost to Jason Dufner in a playoff. He's missed two of his last three cuts this season, but finished T13 in between at the Masters.
John Rollins [Yahoo Class C]
Rollins has played TPC Louisiana each of the last four years, all top-30s. Last year resulted in a career-best T7. Rollins is coming off his second missed cut of the year, but has tallied six top-25s in 10 starts.
K.J. Choi [Yahoo Class B] - World Ranking: #190
Choi has made four straight cuts at TPC Louisiana, highlighted by a T3 in 2011. He's registered three finishes of 21st or better in his last five starts this season.
Chris Kirk [Yahoo Class C] - World Ranking: #86
Kirk missed the cut in his first career start at TPC Louisiana last year. However, he's made seven straight cuts this season, scoring six finishes of 33rd or better in that span.
Robert Garrigus [Yahoo Class B]
Garrigus has only missed one cut this season, but has slowed down a bit after opening the year with four straight finishes of 22nd or better. He hasn't played TPC Louisiana since missing the cut in 2009 and 2010.
David Toms [Yahoo Class C]
It has been a struggle for Toms, but his T13 in the Masters is a season-high and his final round of 67 matched a Sunday-best. Tom has played TPC Louisiana four straight years, scoring a pair of top-20s.
Brian Davis [Yahoo Class C]
Davis has made five straight cuts at TPC Louisiana, but is still seeking his first top-15. He is heading to the site on a streak of three straight top-30s this season.
Camilo Villegas [Yahoo Class C]
Villegas has been a risky option in recent years, but has now finished inside the top 20 in three of his last four starts. Villegas is coming off a season-high T9 at Harbour Town, his first top-10 since June of 2011. Villegas placed T18 in this event last year.

This gal has a really nice bush. :)~~
would love to shoot my cum on her hairy pussy
i need fucking like this
I like ur Pussy
well ok, a hairy pussy may look quite nice now and then, but it should be trimmed nevertheless. wearing socks when fucking and his long finger nails for my taste are a definite no-go however. like her way of moaning, not this stupid permanent and artificial screaming which is for me show-only but has nothing to do with really enjoying a good shag and orgasm.
actually wait.. ew just noticed the pit hairs on the girl
just the way i like it
Nice amateur... remember to shave!
Love that bush.
That is a beautiful bush! I love the way they feel on my beard in the 69 position.
shave that thing !! and the guy looks like a corps
i like it! it´s a amazing girl, and the hair of the pussy does morbid, but that is not well recorded ....
nice young couple but very very hairy pussy she must shave
I just noticed his fingernails, too...yuck.
She needs to shave her pussy. I don't like to see them hairy when I watch.
No this is wrong! Those are his nasty long fingernails!
great amateur video! love the homemade video

A wonderful large brooch made up of a lovely layered early plastic material. This unique item is made up of two geometric ringed circles in a purple color with a layer of two forest green plastic ropes attached to each ring. The rings are attached at the back with an oval ring. The optic art looks amazing, the colors are unique and the design is very artsy! The pin measures 3 7/8" wide and just a little under 2" wide.

Proposed ERISA Regulation Would Expand Persons Considered Fiduciaries… page 1; Disclosure Statement for Retail Investors…page 2; and, Know Your Customer and Suitability Update… page 3
Proposed ERISA Regulation Would Expand Persons Considered
As discussed in our client alert dated November 5, 2010, on October 21, 2010, the Department of Labor issued a proposed regulation1 that could significantly expand the categories of persons considered fiduciaries as a result of their providing investment advice to plans subject to ERISA or to participants or beneficiaries of such plans. This proposed regulation was issued under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), which subjects fiduciaries to standards of prudence and loyalty to the plans for which they are fiduciaries, as well as to conflict of interest rules, referred to as the "prohibited transaction rules"....
Disclosure Statement for Retail Investors
Title IX of the Dodd-Frank Act set forth a number of measures intended to improve investor protection. Section 913 of the Act directs the SEC to "facilitate the provision of simple and clear disclosures to investors regarding the terms of their relationships with brokers, dealers and investment advisers, including any material conflicts of interest." In October 2010, FINRA separately published Regulatory Notice 10-54 in which it requests comment on a new concept proposal to require FINRA member firms to provide retail customers with a written disclosure statement at the commencement of the relationship. Comments are requested by December 27, 2010....
Know Your Customer and Suitability Update
We reported in a prior issue of Structured Thoughts on FINRA's amendments to proposed changes to the know your customer rule (Rule 2090) and the suitability rule (Rule 2111)....

GoPro \ hardware -> Software \ Tech Eating World
While performing a search in Google for GoPro coupon codes, I found a number of websites that seemed to be competing for the real estate over this competitive search term. And this got me thinking about the famous statement from Marc Andreesen, that "software is eating the world."
As the founder of Netscape Navigator, the first consumer-friendly web browser, Andreeson is indeed friendly with many of the motifs within technology. And while I can't yet say for sure whether tech is eating the world, or even that I understand what that means, I do have a few observations from my time working in consumer electronics that I would like to share with you.
Hardware becomes software:
Let's take a look at GoPro Cameras. While GoPro has the feel of being an established brand, it is in fact very much a newcomer to the world of consumer electronics. Founded by Nick Woodson in 2002, GoPro is basically credited with being the first action camera company.
And while they are a category leader right not, every day that they aren't growing is a day that they face obscelence.
If you break down the evolution of action cams, what you'll see is that we are somewhere midway along the process of hardware becoming softare. Thanks to Moore's law, this is what hardware does. It shrinks and shrinks and shrinks until bolts become bits and you can fit in your pocket.
Eventually the features that we now think of an action cam as having will simply be features that are offered by our phone. This evolution is analogous to the change that happened from cameras as they evolved from being freestanding pieces of hardware to becoming a lense and a software program that is a part of our phone.
Unless GoPro continues to adapt and evolve, it will find that it's category has disappeared altogether.
Great technology doesn't come at a discount
If you want great technology, you need to be prepared to pay upfront for it. It doesn't come cheap. In fact, if you aren't willing to shell out a great amount of money upfront, you may find that you never get the technology at all.
While tech startups make use of the scaling potential that exists in bits and bytes, they often make the mistake of trying to compete on price from the very beginning of their existence. While the right startup can revolutionize a supply chain enough to bring a better, cheaper product to market, this is exceedingly rare. As Paul Graham, the founder of Y-combinator has been known to savy- great technology doesn't come with coupon codes.
If you are buying a new consumer electronics product, you can search high and low in order to find the right deal, but the reality is that promotions are often short-lived, especially in the internet area. You can check major online retailers everyday, perhaps even subscribe to their shopping feeds, but you'll soon become acquainted with the here today, gone tomorrow nature of the internet.
Instead of chasing promo codes on sites like Amazon and Ebay, it might be smarter to ask a different question. Instead of asking yourself, "How can I get the cheapest product?", you might try asking yourself, "Do I even need this product in the first place, or can I find a way to hack my current hardware stack in order to achieve the desired effect?"
The only constant is change
No matter in payments, action cameras, or a different vertical altogether, the reality of this day and age is that the only constant is change. The only thing we can expect is constant disruption. And while this can be a frightening thing, it is also extremely liberating. We are in a time when no possibility should be discounted, and everything should be expected. The world is changing, and changing fast, and the best thing we can do is learn to adapt to it to the best of our abilities. Even if it is an uncomfortable thing to do. Even if it is a scary thing to do. And while we might be seeing the end of the current tech bubble, we are surely posed for a big future in which bolts become bits, hardware becomes software, and our lives become just a little bit easier.
