Never trust a haiku writer.
They are too repetitive in their nature.
And some are proven dendrophiliacs.
I wrote this in the dark.
Because the last poem stripped
from the book binding and ripped
from my chest was not valued at
the utility company's worth; a two-hundred dollar bill is not easily disbursed when each
poem nets zero cents per word.
A candlestick will
dematerialize faster than
a wax seal on parchment -
one that establishes the epoch of
Civil Rights -
this is a correlated falsehood
of fixed rents in a gentrified neighborhood.
The plus-side of fucking
the poor to cater to the wealthy
is that when the new occupants
move in, and the stainless steel
refrigerator is moved in, the empty
box is placed at the curb, and with
the right imagination it can easily
become a home for two.
If I had known that I was going to
be the last man inside you, not long
before your last breath left your lungs
and escaped your body along with
your tortured soul, I would have saved
us both the time and trouble.
Let love be!
Oh naive me!
Of course we both knew the troubles
your mind conjured, and maybe my
lack of intimacy was torturous, however, not all of the sweating and
moaning could be forsaken,
as foreplay was eased into,
which was wrongly confused as
a careless flick of the wrist.
But I suppose you knew your body better, and could take yourself
places that no one else ever could
without having their arms
pulled behind the back
and secured tightly, because
when you flicked your
own wrist and became
wet and flush,
the only moaning you did was accompanied with wincing
eyes and curled toes.
Now I'm reading the newspaper,
and your name sticks out, screaming
at me, exclaiming riddles that you can
never answer. And the one that leaves
me the most unnerved is the one right
before me, becoming moistened by
misunderstood teardrops.
What is black and white
and red all over?
I ask you,
but I know now
that you can never again
answer my call.
So I'm left with only one of
two options, both of which
feel like a handful. I can delicately
place a flower atop your new
home among the rest, or
I can palm dirt as you are
slowly lowered down and
covered with the mound
that lay beside the congregation
that finishes their final goodbyes.
If rock bottom is melted ice;
diluted whiskey becomes the last
drink the goes down far too easy.
Red eyes stay dry because of a cap
left off a bottle that succumbed
to evaporation, and squinting to read
the ingredients is as useful as calling
the Sandman for a loan. That's proof
that sleep doesn't cure all ailments.
Try biting into a cactus for a drink
of water and swallowing with a barb
lodged in your throat. You would have
better luck winking with both eyes and
smiling with no teeth. Hope for an
eye-patch and set of dentures, or a
gun to the temple loaded with blanks.
That's the amount of sense everything
makes when you're stuck between a
rock and a hard place, or thrashing
in quicksand. So when you set fire to
wooden bridges or cut cables of steel
the width of a forearm you're left with
a cracked foundation and the body of
a home carried miles away by a cyclone
of wind. Just hope you're not a continent
made of ice that melts and swallows the rest.
A perfect inadequacy, in theory, is
inconsequential compared to an imperishable
half truth. This is calling a clear plastic cup a glass,
using a smile to implore that the contents are
half full, when in all actuality it was a full cup
tilted to the side and slowly poured out.
One can be morally sound as well as be pathetic.
But any man would prefer not to be both, and as
a Man's dignity starts to feel like a half empty cup,
any truth stretched has the ability to seem
palatable even if the fabrication is deemed
inconceivable. That is when listening instead of
speaking forms golden silence, because
confusion when dealing with humility makes
the act of prevarication go undetected.
Word for word will become word against no matter
how indefatigable the liar is. Time will always
uncover falsities, as only truth can stand the test.
This is why the pathetic poet begins his endeavor
writing in pen, and as insecurities infiltrate intellect,
a pencil comes to be appropriate, which is an
afterthought to be read through smeared sentences.
And after the last period is placed, adhering to
a correct structure, the only way to regain
integrity can be attained by poetic justice.
Which is lead poisoning acquired
from a number two pencil.
The firewood kept beside the fence post was soggy, surly was the evening weather, and Mother Nature was redefining the word torrential
A drop to the eye, rendering it senseless. On one side of the spectrum, a crystal or a rock comes from dirt. Although that other side, the side of the spectrum that enlightens by color. A yellow or a blue or a red are useful.
So by that exploitation will become the
puzzle pieces of which the artist creates. Imagine having a thought cross and be ignored. Saying that, maybe the Earth isn't flat, and maybe a Christmas card is not as commercial as it is ceremonial. Perception is one side to say, but the gentleman pouring gasoline on a fire is far from the man asking for a drink shaken, not stirred.
When the fire becomes everlasting, water will not quench a thirst for destruction, and that is because there has never been an accident that could ever be everlasting. The man that knows that does not exit the house with a helmet. He simply raises the proverbial glass and swallows what is in front of him. At times the end brings a sweetness. The only other times are consumed with a bitterness. One that an artist knows as he takes his shot of whiskey, but not of the man that is readily available to set himself on fire. That is a drop of rain on your tongue. At the beginning it is too fragile to become a warning, but at the end it is what separates lands and lives. That is why saltwater and tears aren't that much different.
In a moment of weakness
My heart begged to lean on you
Searching in early morning darkness
I reached for your shadow
Fully expecting to be caught, I fell
Caught only by my broken hopes of you
Realizing, at once, that it is in fact I
Who is broken
Minimalist, short form poetry,
At 18 you are not who your parents perceive you to be
At 18 the mistakes you make are yours alone
At 18 you learn life's lessons can be brutal
At 18 you think a broken heart is a mortal wound
At 18 you don't know who you are
At 18 you have dreams
At 18 the world is yours
At 18 you CAN do anything
At 18 you can be who you want to be
At 18 you can make your own choices
At 18 setbacks do not defeat you
At 18 you are free
At 18 there is always time
It must be raining yesterday
because of a present tense.
And as much sense as that statement lacks,
it must hold some truth
seeing as how my face is wet.
Whether this is weather
or drops of salted sadness,
an ocean that swallows land is as unpredictable
as certain kinds of madness.
A river or a lake or a stream or a creek,
or a shiver or a shake or a scream or a shriek,
they all continue to develop
until the body becomes weak.
Erosion takes its time unless the current
becomes too strong.
Then the body begins to
break away like a brother's brittle bones,
or the composition of a masterpiece
that becomes a forgotten song.
So when I say that I feel the rain,
today or tomorrow or yesterday,
what I mean to say is what I meant to say,
which is that this happens every day.
And if the tears happen to cease
even with closed eyes, I'll know I
have found my mind or peace.
That which was elaborately disguised.
One would mistake it
as an introduction,
but it could only be
an Everyman's
last goodbye.
After my first hospitalization I began writing. I signed my name, about five times, proving to the staff and myself that I was ready to be discharged. The envelope held against my chest contained reading material, a diagnosis, and copious sheets of paper with lightly drawn animal sketches. Two weeks in a hospital, sitting at a desk by a caddy-cornered television, holding a styrofoam cup of decaf coffee, I'd sit listening to news stories while skimming through piles of xeroxed copies of coloring books. This became the precursor to many more manic months that would eventually and periodically follow.
Adolescent behavior is uncertain, but a child that runs off into a wooded enclosure to scream until collapse is significantly more uncertain. More often than not, when a child screams, an adult comes running. But when the source of the scream is just as misplaced as the child, it will only become an echo lost to the wind. When feeling lost becomes a constant what else is there to do but draw a map, or in this case, animal sketches.
Have you ever cried hysterically while laughing? Not producing tears from a belly ache caused by momentary elation, but two conflicting emotions? Imagine dowsing yourself in gasoline and running into a burning home to get a drink of water. Picture yourself flying through the air, wind caressing your face, but you can't fly, and right before you hit the ground you only just realized that you jumped. No child can prepare for this, as much as an ignorant parent can help their child clean wounds that will not scab over. Medication will become a bandage, and if the wound can never heal, the bandage will eventually be ripped off.
Art therapy before therapy was introduced was sitting on the bedroom floor, fashioning little cut-out rectangles, hole at the top, and string pulled through and wrapped around my big toe. A blanket pulled over my face, just to know what it was like to rest in peace. But you know, kids will be kids, or so they say.
Aspirations to be an artist should have been the first clue that mental illness had come and was here to stay, but the dreamers of the world ruined that. You start painting happy little trees, and two months later you're medicated in a hospital room with the faintest idea of what a tree even looks like, let alone the fact that because of these unimaginable trees you are able to breath. But you are breathing, and slowly you are able to grasp a pencil, and soon after you are able to draw these trees, these happy little trees that you not so long ago had forgotten about. And you lean your face down, nose touching the sheet of paper, and you inhale. You feel reborn. Not exactly home, because, well, you're not home, but you're comfortable in your new skin. This new skin leads the doctors to explain to you that you are manic. You nod your head, obligatory nodding, seeing as how your mind is elsewhere, many places in fact, thinking of all of the ideas you'd like to put on paper. And soon enough you're signing your name, multiple times, being discharged with your diagnosis. This is your enlightenment you're told. This is the first day of your new life.
But it's not. The cycling wasn't explained. And you failed to read the paperwork given to you that was sealed in the envelope. Instead you tore it open to procure your drawings and discarded the rest of the contents.
Those drawings lead you to college. To be the artist you know you are.
You bleed for your work. Figuratively, at first. Until you decide to find a new medium. You put yourself into your work. Red smeared all over a canvas. Curled up in a ball on the floor, losing blood quickly, eyes slowly closing. And when you wake, with tubes in your arm, and hands secured to a bed, you wonder what season it is. And what the trees look like, whether they are barren or blossoming.
Then you smile.
You smile because you remember what trees are.
If only you could find a pencil.

Sporadic Battery Drain / Dead Battery
I've posted this on the Acadia Forum and there is quite a thread over there about the dead batteries and battery drain problems, but since I actually have a Saturn Outlook and not an Acadia, I thought I would post this here and see if anyone else is having the problem, or the answer.
I thought it was time to post another update, since I am still having the problem. I have noticed that my alternator recharges sporadically, sometimes only 12V and all the way to 14.9V (digital meter on the Pioneer Z2). I wouldn't think that the voltage regulator would ever let the voltage get that high. And sometimes it charges at that rate for only a few seconds and sometimes for half an hour. ???
Anyway, after my last trip to the dealer and their apparent lack of skill and experience in this area, it became painfully obvious that as long as I had the after market navigation system, even though it is connected to the factory power connections, they were going to blame that for the drain. So now, I have pulled the navigation system out, along with the rear seat DVD player. :angryfire: Now the dealer has no excuse, except for their own inadequacies.
As someone else mentioned, the real pain here is the inconsistency. Sometimes, only 1 day and boom, no start......and sometimes it can sit for 3 or 4 days and no problem. :confused:
Another issue that I saw someone else mention.....the Battery Saver circuit. If that option works as it's supposed to, you should never have a battery that won't start the car. But that also seems inconsistent. Sometimes, I will get in the car and when it starts, the Battery Saver message is active and the A/C system is shut down. And sometimes, the battery is just too dead to start the car. Why didn't the Battery Saver "save" it? :banghead:
One last little note. Someone else asked about using a voltmeter to monitor the drain. You would actually need an ammeter to monitor the current drain, but it's almost impossible for a "do it yourselfer" with all of the electronic circuits and computer modules on these vehicles. They do constantly draw some power and if a module "wakes up" then it can draw quite a bit, and if it keeps waking up and wakes up other modules in the process, you can actually have a substantial draw that would drain any battery....."IF" there weren't a Battery Saver circuit. (hence the reason they went to the extra expense to put that circuit in the first place). So this isn't like a car from the 60's when you could easily monitor a current draw at the battery terminal. You really have to depend on the dealer and their computer equipment. Just too bad that so many of them don't really know how to use the equipment that GM provides. :ohno: :help: :beer:
Hi from Québec,
I have a Outlook XR and have a bizarre problem with the battery system. In July I whas tooing the car behind our motor home. After 2 hours I got out to start the car (put back fuses ING and BATT1 like in the manual), but it didn't start. Try to get a boust from a towing but got no result. I get home (1 our drive) and left the car hook up. in the morning I put back the fuses (ING and BATT1) in place and the car started.
Now today when for a ride 20 minutes, put back the car in the garage. After 2 hours the car didn't start. Try to charge the battery, but it is full. I think that the Battery Saver system has a problem. Is their a way to reset It?
According to the manual it's normal for the voltage to fluctuate.
The electrical issue may be due to a pinched wire or a loose one thereby causing the inconsistency. Finding the problem is going to be time consuming.
Good luck.
A little late but may help others experiencing the same problem....I think I read somewhere on the Acadia forum that a battery drain was being caused by the windshield washer fluid heater. Might want to check this out if you have that option(included w/ Convenience package).
I recently had my 2007 Outlook XR in for the "Battery Saver Active" message.
This message would initiate and then go off after about five minutes on the road only to return the next morning. I was frustrated. I took it in on a Thursday evening and my dealership was unable to find any battery draingage issue. Two days later, my vehicle would not start and I needed a jump. I immediately drove it to the dealership. The following Monday, I was told the problem was solved.... 'I had a bad battery and the problem was resolved...' A few days later, the message returned. In addition, another message popped up "Service Tire Monitoring System". I drove to the dealership and they determined I needed to replace a module before they could address the power loss problem.
After replacing this tire monitoring module, they went on to the problem of the battery. They asked me if my key fob was working... I hadn't really noticed. In addition, when you lock the door from the inside, there wasn't the 'ding-ding' sound anymore. This led them to pursue a problem with the door.
Upon investigation, they found the left door latch was incorrectly sending a signal stating door open, when in fact, it was closed. Apparently, the dealership was already aware of a TSB on the latch assembly and they had it replaced.
I finally picked up my vehicle after it being overnight tested and checked for almost two weeks.
In recall, I remembered a strange thing happening while driving down the highway. My locks unopened by themselves. Being tired, I assumed I just knocked the button by mistake. A few days later, the service notice for the battery started. I commented about this to my service person, and he said 'that was likely when the latch assembly failed'.
It feels great to be back in my vehicle. My confidence has been restored in my Saturn. I must give a great deal of praise to Saturn's Service Department. They were persistant in trying to solve my problem.
Hopefully, this helps someone else looking for a solution.
Update: almost two months later and this problem has not resurfaced...

Santa Marta, Colombia: Top 5 Things to Do
When a Caribbean escape beckons, Colombia can be an overlooked destination. Over the last decade, though, security has steadily been replacing the shadow of the country's violent past. One destination in Colombia's northeast region is now attracting more international visitors: the coastal Caribbean area of Santa Marta.
Established in 1525 by the Spanish as a base of conquest, Santa Marta sits at the foot of the world's highest coastal mountain range, the towering Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Sultry by day and balmy by night, the Santa Marta area requires a streak of adventure and willingness to learn a little Spanish, but the broad range of activities and excursions -- including the area's crown jewel, Tayrona National Park -- are well worth the effort.
Tayrona's Beauty and Beaches
Take land or sea transport to must-see beaches such as Neguange, Playa Cristal and Concha, surrounded by bays jutting out of the Sierra Nevada's knarled jungle cover and palm trees. After seeing all the beaches, experience some waves on your own or with the family by taking surfing lessons at the relaxed Casa Grande Surf school, just 3 miles from Tayrona.
Diving and Snorkeling off Taganga
Taganga is popular with the backpacker crowd. Loud music from the one club in town can turn a tranquil location into a loudspeaker, but Taganga is worth a visit. Try the Bahia hotel and restaurant overlooking the bay, where the friendly staff are ready to assist with travel arrangements utilizing the best taxi driver in town, Nestor.

There is an ongoing need for Catechists in our parish program in every grade level. As baptized Catholics, we need grow in our own faith and spirituality and share our faith with the next generation of Catholics.
What is a Catechist?
Anyone who is sharing and passing on our wonderful Catholic Faith is considered a catechist. The word "catechist" literally means "to echo." A catechist echoes the Word of God to his/her young disciples. We do not teach a subject, we teach a life-style…the Catholic-Christian, life-style.
What qualification do I have to have to become a Catechist?
If you are a faith-filled individual, enjoy being with children, are dedicated to the Catholic faith, and feel that God is calling you to get more involved…you may be just the person we are looking for.
Do I need any training?
Your training will depend on your background. Most potential catechists do NOT have a degree in Education or religion or theology, therefore we will help you by offering simple workshops to introduce you to topics such as: Classroom Management, Lesson Planning, Prayer in the Classroom, etc. Throughout the year, classes will be offered on topics such as Creed, Sacraments, Morality and much more. You can choose to attend any number of training or enrichment sessions to further your own understanding of the faith and your skills as a catechist.
The Catechist Manuals are a tremendous help to the first time catechist. They are written specifically for those adult volunteers who have NO previous experience in Religious Education. The manuals offer creative ideas and tips for each lesson being presented. Once you learn how to navigate through the catechist manual, you can master this ministry.
Do I need to get any clearances?
YES. In order to insure the protection of ALL our parish children, we require our catechists to fill out several state and national clearance forms, including: Criminal and Child Abuse background checks. The parish will pay for these clearances if you are volunteering for our program. The Diocese of Pittsburgh also requires that each individual who works with children sign a Code of Pastoral Conduct and Cardinals Clause. These two forms state clearly what is considered appropriate behavior with children and youth. You must also attend a 3 hour workshop entitled: Protecting God's Children. This workshop heightens your awareness of child abuse.
Who should I talk to about becoming a Catechist?
Please call our Director of Religious Education, Darcy Osby at 412.561.0199 or email at: email@example.com.

My Account Sign in
often my eight cats throw up for numerous reasons. this is easily administered by sprinkling on their moist food once a day. they seem to like it and it aids in their digestion.
Our 13 year old Shih Tzu Abby stopped eating so we had lab work done which showed her liver enzymes to to over 10 times normal levels. We then had an ultrasound done and the vet saw a mass around her liver. The vet thinks it is cancer and felt she probably only had a few weeks to live. I researched alternative drugs and found CAS Options, Denamarin, and Prozyme were all highly recommended to fight the cancer and possibly regenerate the liver function . After 7+ weeks on these 3 drugs, I am happy to report Abby is still with us and she doesn't exhibit any symptoms of liver failure so far. She still will not eat on her own and must be hand fed (which takes up to 2 hours a day), but she is eating better and I have faith that soon she will start eating on her own again. I can't say these are miracle cures, but so far I am impressed with where we are in extending her life and maybe some kind of recovery.
We have used this product for many years with our various Golden Retrievers. It works well as the stools are very consistant.
Great for getting a slow crop moving in baby birds that are being hand fed.
If it wasn't for Prozyme my dog would not be here. I have been giving it to Curly for over three years. Great product.
My vet advised I use Prozyme for my cat who has irritable bowel. This product is very helpful and at a fair price, compared to the vet's office.
This is to help with breakdown and digestion of nutrients in the gut. It should help with breakdown of hair according to my vet. Older cats who need to absorb more nutrients from their food are helped. While I can't say I notice a big difference, I trust my vet's advice and this product certainly mixes with their wet food easily and unknowingly to my cats on it.
This product was recommended for bad breath for our dog (no dental disease). It really works
I love shopping with Entirely Pets. Their prices are competive and reasonable. They have the fastest shipping anywhere. Great and reliable company. Keep up the great work Entirely Pets!
Our little poodle has a sensitive stomach a lot of foods would cause loose bowels and throwing up .He has been taking this sprinkled on his food for several years now and it has fixed the problem.
We been buying this product for a couple years now ,our little poodle has a sensitive stomach and it helps his digestion.
Our twelve year old lab struggled for one year with a smelly, oily, itchy coat. We had multiple vet visits and switched his food to Candidae with no results. I finally started him on Prozyme and his coat is now beautiful, soft, shiny, and odor free! I think the Prozyme finally allowed him to Absorb the nutrients in his food that he so desperately needed.
I tried Prozyme because my dog suffered with stomach upset and allergies. She is so much better. No more stomach upset and allergies are under better control.
This helped my girl's stomach issues. It helps them absorb their food better.
Got ProZYME because my cats were having some digestive issues and beginning to have behavioral problems secondary to them. I began giving them ProZYME and the results were amazing! Pretty much immediately, the digestive problems ceased (one was always vomiting the other has loose stools) and so did the budding behavioral issues. Thank you Entirely Pets and ProZYME for saving me much money (on vet bills) and worry! This product is great!!!
I have fed this to my 12-year-old terrier mix his entire life. When he was a puppy he contracted parvo, which left him with a sensitive tummy and prone to diarrhea. Using Prozyme aids his digestion so he gets the most nutrition from his food and keeps his poops normal.
I never received it! I was sent the wrong thing and I am still waiting for you to send it!!!!!
I have only read about this product recently and thought I would give it a try. It has only been a few weeks and I am not seeing anything earth-shattering yet but I am hopeful.
Our little poodle was having stomach problems and the vet had us get this and he is now 14 yrs.old and has been on this for 13 years of his life and is doing real well.

RATHER than face disciplinary action, an employee of the Umtshezi
Municipality caught in a sex-for-grants scheme resigned from his job
The man and a young woman were allegedly caught in flagrante delicto
when an official alerted to the situation burst into the man's office
last week.
Municipal manager Nonhlanhla Njoko and Mayor Bongani Dlamini both denied any knowledge of the matter.
"I have not been informed of any such incident," said Njoko.
However, Weekend Witness confirmed the incident with three sources,
including one from the district municipality which incorporates
Umtshezi. None would consent to being named.
They said the man and a young woman from the area were caught in the act
by a senior municipal manager after being alerted by other staff.
A source in the municipality, who is not allowed to speak to the media,
said the man was in charge of disbursing funds for a certain project
undertaken by the Umtshezi council.
In terms of the project, amounts of about R3 000 are given to people who meet certain criteria.
It is alleged the man had on various occasions asked for and received
sex from young women who applied to benefit from the project.
"This is not the first time he has done this. This time around, while he
was busy with the girl, the staff there heard what was going on and
they informed a manager that it was happening [they were having sex] at
the 'sex office' as that office is now known."
"These young girls come here [for help], only for them to be sexually
exploited. It's not even a big amount [that is disbursed by the
"This happened in the most senior office in the area. It is the same as if the municipality has slept with this girl."
Another senior official at the municipality confirmed that the official had been caught out.
"He was caught in a compromising position with a [young woman] by a municipal official."
The sources said the man resigned from his job yesterday, before disciplinary action could be taken against him. - The Witness
I'm sure everyone has at least heard of the 'What if...?' game (eg. What if you were stranded on an island and you only had one pair of shoes, what would they be?). Well, some of us may also be familiar with a more sinister version of the game that asks how much would it cost for you to have relations with some arbitrary person. We all had a number we were willing to sell our bodies for, we may even be glad to do it for the relief the money would bring. What I find interesting is that anything under that particular number, we will consider as "disgusting, wrong, sinful, unacceptable etc". If you read the story above, these women were trading their bodies for what little sustenance and security it would give them. The source in the article is quoted as saying that the girls were selling their bodies for "not even a big amount" - as if it would have be acceptable if the amount was larger.
In this system, we all have a price - most of the time it's money, sometimes it's the fulfillment of some emotional desire. I wonder why it is that we accept living this way, as we would never want our child to feel the need, or even the desire to sell themselves for some external reward, especially when it is something like money. Yes, we want our loved ones to have money, but only because it affords one the luxuries in life and keeps some unpleasantness away.
Most of us feel unfulfilled in life, like we could be and do so much more - it's just that we don't have the resources to make it happen. A handful of people strike it lucky and live the lives they've always wanted, but for the rest of us that is simply an idyl dream, never to come true - if the system stays as it is now.

"You don't want to be like Michael Jordan when he left basketball to play baseball-but you do have to keep pushing forward," says California painter Henry Taylor of his recent foray into sculpture and installation. Taylor, who turns 54 this year, is best known for portraits in acrylic of the family, friends, strangers and heroes of music and sport who cross his amiable path. His lush, imperfect surfaces complement and humanize his subjects—each piece is hyperbolized with rich color, intuitive gestural brushwork and subtle pop sabotage, including modified brand logos.
In "March Forth," his solo show at Untitled gallery on New York's Lower East Side [through Apr. 22], Taylor unveils what he calls "out-stallation." The artist has created an immersive environment, conjuring a primeval street party with walk-on appearances by wild animals, art heroes and the people and places who inspire Taylor. A video interview of Taylor projected on the gallery's front wall introduces viewers to his world. The sound of his quietly vibrating voice announces the show's cluttered drama. One subsequently encounters several wall drawings, including a portrait depicting Isaac Hayes with the appellation "Hot Sugar," and an unidentified woman with her eyes smeared out (all works from "March Forth;" To be titled, 2012).
For both "March Forth" and his survey at MoMA PS1 [through Apr. 9], the artist has created large assemblages that reconfigure quotidian objects. At the Untitled, this means a makeshift hut composed of jerry-rigged mops, brooms, beer bottles, wicker chairs and a rolled-up Persian rug-to list just a sampling of its mixed media. The hut stands on a dirt- and cigarette butt-strewn floor, and was inspired by the artist's travels in Ethiopia. At MoMA PS1, a jungle scene (It's Like a Jungle, 2011) serves as a riveting, chaotic barrier to entrance.
The materials are part and parcel with the artist's lean toward the beauty of the commonplace: "I wanted to use things that were naïve and immediate-nothing that requires a bunch of tools," says Taylor. "The rocking chair, the brooms—those things are simple." Taylor's handling of these objects reinvests them with the sophistication of craftsmanship—in his hands they shrug off their identity as commodity objects and are born anew as the raw materials of an artisan.
Both shows also feature many other stand-alone sculptures. At MoMA PS1, the rockers from one of Taylor's favored rocking chairs form the base of a sculpture (Rock It, 2012) that is composed of a stack of boxes topped with a mannequin's head. The most irreverent object in "March Forth" is a taxidermied hyena, which the artist decided to include after crossing the path of a live version on the prowl in Ethiopia. "I am a hunter and gatherer. Sometimes I just collect things because I like the label. I saved all my mom's stuff after she died. I think maybe my decision to make sculpture starts with that."
Taylor, who worked as a psychiatric nurse for 10 years, imbues his art making with lived history and a deep connection to the people and places that surround him. One of the strongest pieces in March Forth is a simple line drawing, rendered in charcoal and dirt, depicting the crossed-shaped Church of St. George in Lalibela, Ethiopia. "I'm not super religious, but I went to the church with Haile Selassi's granddaughter, and I got baptized again there," says Taylor. "When I did the drawing of the church, I thought: I'm ready for the show. Sometimes you just need that last garnish."

Mount Royal (French: mont Royal, IPA: [mɔ̃ ʁwajal]) is a large volcanic-related hill or small mountain in the city of Montreal, immediately west of downtown Montreal, Quebec (in Canada), the city to which it gave its name.
The hill is part of the Monteregian Hills situated between the Laurentians and the Appalachian Mountains. It gave its Latin name, Mons Regius, to the Monteregian chain.
The hill consists of three peaks: Colline de la Croix (or Mont Royal proper) at 233 m (764 ft), Colline d'Outremont (or Mount Murray, in the borough of Outremont) at 211 m (692 ft), and Westmount Summit at 201 m (659 ft) elevation above mean sea level.
Some tourist guidebooks, such as the Michelin Guide to Montreal, state that Mount Royal is an extinct volcano. The mountain is the deep extension of a vastly eroded ancient volcanic complex, which was probably active about 125 million years ago.[1] The mountain was created when the North American Plate moved westward over the New England hotspot,[1] along with the other mountains of the Monteregian Hills, by a process known as intrusion: The magma intruded into the sedimentary rocks underneath the area, producing at least eight igneous stocks. The main rock type is a gabbro composed of pyroxene, olivine and variable amounts of plagioclase. During and after the main stage of intrusion, the gabbros and surrounding rocks were intruded by a series of volcanic dikes and sills. Subsequently, the surrounding softer sedimentary rock was eroded, leaving behind the resistant igneous rock that forms the mountain.
The mineral montroyalite, discovered in Montreal, is named after the mountain that provided the definition sample.[2]
The first European to scale the mountain was Jacques Cartier, guided there in 1535 by the people of the village of Hochelega. He named it in honour of his patron, Francis I of France. He wrote in his journal:
And among these fields is situated and seated the said town of Hochelaga, near to and adjoining a mountain ... We named this mountain, Mount Royal.
On one theory, the name of the Island of Montreal derives from mont Réal, as it was spelled in Middle French, ("Mont Royal" in present French). And yet, Cartier's 1535 diary entry refers to "le mont Royal". Another argument, mentioned by the Government of Canada on its web site concerning Canadian place names, is that the name Montreal was adopted because an early map of 1556 used the Italian name of the mountain, "Monte Real".[3] The name was first applied to the island and was unofficially applied to the city, formerly Ville-Marie, by the 18th century.
In 1643, De Maisonneuve made a pilgrimage to the top, in order to fulfill a vow made in the winter season on occasion of a great flood which swept up to the town palisades.[4]
In 1876, land owner and farmer James Swail began residential subdivisions on the western slope of Mount Murray, in what is now the Cote-des-Neiges district. In 1906, a large housing development was started in the area, called Northmount Heights, with homes built along what is now Decelles Street by developer Northmount Land Company. Much of this area has been expropriated by the Université de Montréal.[5]
In 1914–1918, a railway tunnel was dug under the mountain by the Canadian Northern Railway, a predecessor of the Canadian National. It is currently used by the AMT's Montreal/Deux-Montagnes commuter rail line.
The area was briefly considered as the site for Expo 67, before the exposition grounds were ultimately built on islands in the St. Lawrence River.[6]
For the 1976 Summer Olympics, the park itself hosted the individual road race cycling event.[7]
The CrossEdit
The first Mount Royal Cross was placed there in 1643 by Paul Chomedey de Maisonneuve, the founder of the city, in fulfillment of a vow he made to the Virgin Mary when praying to her to stop a disastrous flood. Today, the mountain is crowned by a 31.4 m (103 ft)-high illuminated cross, installed in 1924 by the Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste and now owned by the city. It was converted to fibre-optic light in 1992, and then to LEDs in 2009. The cross is usually lit in white, but can now be changed to any colour, including the purple traditionally used upon the death of a Pope.
Beside the cross, a plaque marks the placement of a time capsule in 1992, during Montréal's 350th birthday celebration. It contains messages and drawings from 12,000 children, depicting their visions for the city in the year 2142, when the capsule is scheduled to be opened.[8]
Mount Royal ParkEdit
The mountain is the site of Mount Royal Park (French: Parc du Mont-Royal), one of Montreal's largest greenspaces.[9] The park was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted (who also co-designed New York's Central Park) and was inaugurated in 1876, although not completed to his design.
Olmsted had planned to emphasize the mountainous topography through the use of vegetation. Shade trees at the bottom of the carriage path would resemble a valley. As the visitor went higher, the vegetation would get more sparse to give the illusion of exaggerated height. City officials wanted a reservoir atop the mountain instead and Olmsted planned a grand promenade around it. However, Montreal suffered a depression in the mid-1870s and many of Olmsted's plans were abandoned. The carriage way was built, but it was done hastily and without regards to the original plan. None of the vegetation choices were followed, and the reservoir was never built.[10]
The park contains two belvederes, the more prominent of which is the Kondiaronk Belvedere, a semicircular plaza with a chalet overlooking downtown Montreal. Built in 1906, it is named for the Petun chief Kondiaronk, whose influence led to the Great Peace of Montreal in 1701.[11]
Other features of the park are Beaver Lake (a small artificial lake), a snow tube and toboggan run, cross-country skiing trails, a sculpture garden and Smith House, an interpretive centre. At the foot of the hill, overlooking Park Avenue, the park features the George-Étienne Cartier Monument (home to the Tam-Tams) and a gazebo (more properly, a bandstand) which has been named in honour of Mordecai Richler.[12]
The lush forest has been badly damaged, both by Mayor Drapeau's so-called morality cuts of the 1950s (to remove any opportunity for people to have sex in the bushes) and by the Ice Storm of 1998, but has since largely recovered. The forest is a green jewel rising above downtown Montreal and is known for its beautiful autumn foliage as well as its extensive hiking and cross-country ski trails. Biking is restricted to the main gravel roads.
From 1885 to 1920, the Mount Royal Funicular Railway brought sightseers to its peak.[13][14] After it ceased service, Montreal's No. 11 streetcar brought visitors to the peak.[15] A roadway named for longtime but controversial former mayor Camillien Houde (who was jailed during the Second World War for his opposition to Canada's war effort) now bisects the mountain. Ironically, Houde had been opposed to the idea of putting a road through the park.
The park, cemeteries, and several adjacent parks and institutions have been combined into the Mount Royal Natural and Historical District (Arrondissement historique et naturel du Mont-Royal) by the provincial government in order to legally protect the rich cultural and natural heritage of the region.
Mount Royal Park currently hosts a snow tube and toboggan run on one of the former alpine ski slopes,[16] as well as 7 groomed cross-country ski and snowshoe trails which total 18 km (11 mi), with equipment rental available onsite.[17][18]
The former alpine ski slope featured a T-bar and a 100-foot (30.5 m) drop.[16] Mechanical lift devices were first installed in Mount Royal Park in 1945.[19] In the 1940s, there were two and a half miles of ski slopes available.[20] A ski shop was first installed in the park in 1938.[21] Prior to that, in the 1920s, one of the best ski jumps in Canada was the one on Mount Royal, near Côte-des-Neiges.[22]
Founded in 1840, the now-defunct Montreal Snow Shoe Club, with members drawn from some of Montreal's prominent businessmen, would meet each week during the winter at nightfall on Sherbrooke Street near McGill College Avenue to snowshoe through Mount Royal Park, lit by torchlight. Club members began wearing blue tuques on their outings around 1870. Recently, the tradition has been revived as the Tuques Bleues celebration by the Les amis de la montagne, a charitable organization that works to protect and preserve the park.[23]
In the summer, Mount Royal hosts a popular activity known as the "Tam-Tam Jam", whereby a number of Montrealers and visitors play hand drums (such as djembes) on the east slope of the mountain, by the George-Étienne Cartier Monument. The Sunday afternoon gatherings attract people of various backgrounds. Often, dozens of tam-tam players perform their art at the same time, encouraging others to dance. In addition, many children and adults participate nearby in a battle with foam-padded weapons.[24]
The Tam-tams began in the late 1970s with a workshop on African drumming at a jazz bar on Ontario Street.[25] It is not organized by the municipal authorities. Despite initial resistance by participants, the city now intervenes in the event, restricting commercial activity to registered members in designated areas and assigning police and first aid technicians to ensure the safety of those present. Although initially controversial in light of the event's communal and countercultural vibe (as well as a permissive attitude towards marijuana use), the police presence has not led to conflict.
Jeanne-Mance ParkEdit
Facing the mountain across Park Avenue is Jeanne-Mance Park. A popular recreational area, Jeanne-Mance Park features a playground, a wading pool, tennis courts, various sports fields, and in winter, a skating rink.[26]
Transmission towerEdit
The park is also home to the CBC's Mount Royal transmitter facility, which comprises two large buildings (one used primarily by the CBC and one used by the private television stations) and a very short (about 100 m (328 ft)) candelabra tower, from which nearly all of Montreal's television and FM radio stations broadcast. Because of the proximity of this tower to public areas of the park, in recent years significant concerns have been raised about radio-frequency radiation exposure; at several points formerly accessible to park users near the tower, radiation was found to be significantly higher than that permitted for the general public.[citation needed]
The "shortness" indicated above was dictated by the maximum allowable height (1100' above sea level) dictated by the federal Department of Transport because of the proximity to the flight path to Trudeau Airport nearby. The engineering challenge was to combine all the desired antennas in the limited space between the mountain top and 1100' ASL, which led to the "candelabra" design.
There are two cemeteries in the area: Notre Dame des Neiges Cemetery (Catholic) and Mount Royal Cemetery (non-denominational but primarily Protestant, and including several small Jewish cemeteries) — both of which are now running out of space.[27] In 2008, the refusal of the Notre Dame des Neiges Cemetery to cede land that it uses as a depot blocked a planned expansion of the park.[28] Shaar Hashomayim Cemetery is also located in Mount Royal area.
Adjacent landmarksEdit
Outside the park, Mount Royal's slopes are also home to such Montreal landmarks as St. Joseph's Oratory, Canada's largest church; McGill University and its teaching hospitals, including the Royal Victoria Hospital and Montreal General Hospital; McGill's Molson Stadium, home to the CFL's Montreal Alouettes; the McTavish reservoir; Université de Montréal; the École Polytechnique de Montréal; the Îlot-Trafalgar-Gleneagles historic block;[29] and some well-off residential neighbourhoods such as Upper Westmount and Upper Outremont.

Morning sickness is nausea that occurs during pregnancy. The name is a misnomer, however, since morning sickness can strike at any time of the day or night.
Morning sickness affects a large proportion of pregnant women. It is most common during the first trimester, but for some women morning sickness lingers throughout pregnancy. Treatment isn't usually needed — although various home remedies, such as snacking throughout the day and sipping ginger ale, often help relieve nausea.
Rarely, morning sickness is so severe that it's classified as hyperemesis gravidarum. This type of morning sickness may require hospitalization and treatment with intravenous (IV) fluids and medications.

Central Armenia is Armenia's political, cultural, economic, and transit hub, home to the political and spiritual capitals of Yerevan and Echmiadzin.
Echmiadzin is the largest city in Armavir Province, in Central Armenia. It is the seat of the Armenian Catholicos, head of the Armenian Apostolic Church, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. ContentsGet inBuses depart regularly from almost in front of the Covered Market (Pag Shuka) on Mashdots. Fares are under a dollar and take you straight to Echmiadzin past Zvartnots ruins (before reaching town), S. Hripsime (right at the start of the town) and continues straight to the town circle, which is right next to the Echmiadzin compound. There is a statue of Komitas by the town circle as well. Get aroundMuch of the town that tourists visit is accessible by foot. Taxis are also quite cheap, and a couple of Marshutni lines run through the town. See
DoBuyThe Echmiadzin Compound has a bookstore/souvenir store inside, with a collection of religions articles, icons, books, dvds, crosses, jewelry, art, crafts, shirts, and other things. Worth popping in for a look. EatEchmiadzin is famous for its kufte. If you've never had "Echmiadzin Kufte" before, they basically take a hunk of beef, then they grind, beat and whirl it into the finest paste, roll it into a big ball, and boil it. Sound appetizing? Well then they throw a hunk of butter on it to melt, and give it some flavor. Worth trying, while you're in town.

Today's Telegraph reports that the Tolkien Trust, representing the interests of the family of Lord of the Rings author J.R. R. Tolkien is to sue New Line Cinema in Los Angeles for £75 million, claiming that the Trust has not received "even one penny" from the highly successful (£3 billion-earning) trilogy of Lord of the Ring films. The film studio is accused of "insatiable greed" and of engaging in the "infamous practice of creative 'Hollywood accounting'". Presumably as a means of negotiating an amicable settlement, the Trust is reportedly threatening to block production of the long-awaited prequel, The Hobbit.
Right: Counsel for the defence -- the IPKat gave him a ring but he was unavailable for comment
The IPKat is curious to see what happens here. Knowing (i) how much the Californian courts award even when, to the ordinary European, there appears to be little or no damage, and (ii) how greatly the Californians have sought to protect rights in fictional characters, he wonders why further claims were not also made in respect of hobbit stress syndrome. Merpel adds, "three books, three films ... and presumably we can expect three court battles too".

text: Evolutionary Ecology of Adaptation to Toxic Dinoflagellates in a Marine Copepod SHARE THIS: Thursday, May 26, 2011Redfield Auditorium - 12:00 Noon Dr. Hans G. DamProfessor and Associate Head, Department of Marine Sciences, University of ConnecticutAdaptation (resistance or tolerance) to toxic dinoflagellates among grazers has important consequences for the transfer of toxins up the food chain, and for bloom control. In common-environment experiments with the copepod Acartia hudsonica and toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium spp., we document between-population variation in traits that lead to differential fitness. Copepod populations with longer and more frequent exposure history are more tolerant to the toxic dinoflagellates than those unexposed or with little exposure. Toxic dinoflagellates exert a fitness penalty on less tolerant populations both through reductions in ingestion and egg production and through higher mortality. Differences in fitness between populations have the potential to lead to rapid evolution. Among tolerant individuals, there are also phenotypic differences in reproduction that lead to variations in the costs and advantages of tolerance, which are consistent with heterozygote dominance. We hypothesize that toxin tolerance is widespread and possibly underlain by a simple genetic system. We document two isoforms of the sodium channel of A. hudsonica. Future work will focus on linking sodium channel genotypes to phenotypic performance.

Many web CMS vendors and open source communities describe their web content management (WCM) systems as enterprise. But what does enterprise mean in this context? Are there web CMSs out there that are not enterprise? Does it even matter? Is it beneficial for organizations to invest in an enterprise web CMS, or is it just a fancy marketing buzzword that carries little meaning?
Lin Pophal

With the proliferation of search-oriented online content providers such as AOL, Yahoo!, Demand Media, and About.com, internet users are increasingly likely to find that most of the general searches they do return results from these SEO-oriented content creators. Whether this is a good or a bad thing from the user perspective remains to be seen—and opinions vary—but one thing is certain: Competing with these search-result-savvy content providers can present challenges for traditional publishing companies and enterprises that hope to increase their rank on search engines to attract visitors to their own sites.
Most general searches these days result in a high percentage of results that reflect domains such as About, eHow.com, Suite101.com, Examiner.com, etc.; all are examples of sites whose content is created by literally thousands of contributors hired to create content to appeal to the masses.
Why? It's a combination of the sheer volume of information owned and controlled by these sites and the power of SEO (search engine optimization). The content game—once dominated by traditional publishers—is increasingly something organizations of all types are participating in. It is also something that traditional search companies such as Yahoo! and Google are moving into full force. Thus, search and content are becoming more and more intertwined.
Information search results were once almost solely the purview of name brand content companies. Today, however, top results (which may in fact be quite useful results) often come from cryptic sources, and information sources are not always immediately apparent. Demand Media, for instance, purchased Cracked.com in 2006, and its writers regularly provide content for the "Top 10" lists that appear prominently on Cracked's homepage, with no mention of Demand Media to be found. Other content providers such as Associated Content provide a myriad of sources with content that may or may not be exclusive, meaning that web searchers have the potential to find the same information, from all of these aggregators, in multiple places. That said, previously unknown brands are becoming increasingly well-known, for example, About and eHow.
Brand name or not, sourced or not, the value of the content is in the eye of the consumer.
Giovanni Calabro, VP of user experience at Siteworx, notes that casual internet searchers are happy if the content that comes back to them eventually leads to the information they're looking for. He doesn't believe that they pay much attention to the source of that content. "If I'm looking for Lindsey Lohan, for example, if whatever comes back leads me to content about her, I'm happy. I don't know if they're going to sense that content as being generic or not. They're looking for something so general, it doesn't matter where they're receiving it from."
The good news, at least for now, is that the rise of companies such as Demand Media and eHow only reinforces the fact that there's plenty of content demand and room for many content sources on the web. The trick, of course, is that everyone wants to sit at the top of that ever-valuable results list.

Ignore them during the memorial, you'll probably get the chance to confront them after. If you let them disrupt the memorial, you're giving them power blah blah blah....But its true. Show them how insignificant they are.
These people are their own worst enemy. They do these events to provoke people into protesting and attacking them. To do so just gives them what they want. What they do is so repugnant that even the majority of christians think they are crazy nut jobs. Let them spew their hate and use it as evidence later on how following religion strictly is immoral. Maybe it will get some christians even if only a few to see how illogical religion is.
But a totally charming idea, Rich.
Smartass signs and a high tolerance of idiocy.
Do something similar to the Patriot Guard Riders. They would attend the funerals of fallen veterans to basically shelter and protect the deceased's family from having to deal with the WBC protestors. Be that wall in between those WBC picketers and those attending the memorial.
More importantly, don't do anything that is going to give them any more publicity than they may already get. That's what they thrive on.
You can have a judge issue an order keeping them a certain distance from the ceremony. You can also have some picketers of your own with signs: GOD HATES HATERS; IF YOU'RE WEARING POLYESTER BLEND, YOU WILL BE STONED; I'M COVETING YOUR GOODS.
They will definitely cause a problem, but as below, remain calm and nonviolent.
They are obviously going to be here tomorrow. The memorial starts at 1:30 p.m. so I guess we'll see what happens. It is widely known throughout campus that WBC will be here. 23,000 students all very passionate about the coaches and I'm sure it will be an exciting event to watch. I'm glad I am here to witness it. I will try to update you all as consistently as possible about it.
Very sorry to hear.
And infuriating that these parasites are coming to protest. What's their particular reason for coming? Was there something particular about the coaches they are protesting about? Does WBC even know if the people's memorials they are protesting are 'christians' or not?
As many people get arrested for 'disturbing the peace' for far less things, I do not see how these idiots don't get arrested. Not that I disagree with freedom of speech, but it just sort of surprises me this hasn't happened yet to them looking at a case by case basis of other events.
Hopefully with as many people on campus that are grieving the loss, they can overwhelm these wastes-of-space and keep them far away from the ceremony. With 23,000 people + family and friends potentially coming, it sounds like maybe they won't get anywhere. It'd be nice to hear of a massive swarm of people close in around closely from in front and behind them and just stand there... and then see what they do.
I know you will be there taking the time honoring these coaches, but please keep us informed, obviously a lot of people here will be thinking about you and your ceremony.
I cant wait to see the Phelp's funeral. I don't care if its 3 days by horseback in Bulgaria, I'll be there.

Amy Poehler and the rest of the Pawnee gang return to "Parks and Recreation" Thursday (Jan. 17) and she shares some of what's coming up with Zap2it.
Last year, she directed an episode toward the end the season — "The Debate," one of Zap2it's best episodes of 2012 — and she wants to do that again, Poehler says, talking before her terrific turn at co-hosting the Golden Globes with Tina Fey.
"What is fun this season is we are doing a lot of standalone episodes in city council, and realizing just how hard it is to get anything done," Poehler says. "And the writers are throwing together characters that don't usually co-exist; a lot of people in situations together that aren't usually together, and what I like is the world is always slightly growing.
"This season you find a video store going out of business," she continues. "And you find out these little things about Pawnee more."
Her character, the terminally optimistic Leslie Knope, will definitely marry Ben Wyatt (Adam Scott), though Poehler was careful about what she said about that.
"I don't want to spoil anything," she says. "Whatever it is or whenever it is, I am sure it will be the right combination of sweet and very hectic."
The NBC comedy set in the city hall of Pawnee, Ind., is perfect for Poeheler.
"It is like a dream job to work on that show," she says. "I think the cast and the show is the best on TV so it and the writing is so great I get to play real big and small moments."
"Parks and Rec" returns to NBC at 9:30 p.m. ET Thursday.
