Song of the Week

We met as soul mates
On Parris Island
We left as inmates
From an asylum
And we were sharp
As sharp as knives
And we were so gung ho
To lay down our lives

We came in spastic
Like tameless horses
We left in plastic
As numbered corpses
And we learned fast
To travel light
Our arms were heavy
But our bellies were tight

We had no home front
We had no soft soap
They sent us Playboy
They gave us Bob Hope
We dug in deep
And shot on sight
And prayed to Jesus Christ
With all our might

We had no cameras
To shoot the landscape
We passed the hash pipe
And played our Doors tapes
And it was dark
So dark at night
And we held on to each other
Like brother to brother
We promised our mothers we'd write

And we would all go down together
We said we'd all go down together

Remember Charlie
Remember Baker
They left their childhood
On every acre
And who was wrong?
And who was right?
It didn't matter in the thick of the fight

We held the day
In the palm
Of our hand

They ruled the night
And the night
Seemed to last as long as six weeks
On Parris Island
We held the coastline
They held the highlands
And they were sharp
As sharp as knives
They heard the hum of our motors
They counted the rotors
And waited for us to arrive

And we would all go down together
We said we'd all go down together
Yes we would all go down together

Song of the Day Céline Dion Did You Give Enough Love

You Give Enough Love Lyrics


You say you still don't know the reason why
I walked away
I know you thought you were so good to me
I didn't see it that way
My love's not something you can buy and sell
Like pearls on a string
And if you want to know where we went wrong
You ought to stop and think
[Chorus]
Did you give enough love, did you show that you cared?
When I needed understanding were you really there?
Whenever I was down did you try to pick me up?
Maybe you should ask yourself, did you give enough love?
Did you give enough love?
Good intentions I know you had, right from the start
But if you wonder why we didn't last
Just look inside your heart
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Did you give enough time when I was alone
When I needed you there to make me feel I belonged
You just don't know what you do to me
I just had to be free

Man born with two penises asks doctors to amputate one

Now this is a funny story, I don’t think I would have done what he I thought it would be fun to have two.

An Indian businessman born with two penises wants one of them removed surgically as he wants to marry and lead a normal sexual life.

The 24-year-old man from the northern state of Uttar Pradesh admitted himself to a New Delhi hospital this week with an extremely rare medical condition called penile duplication or diphallus, the Times of India said.

There are three types of diphallus, namely a true diphallus with two independent penises, a bifid phallus that may be glandular or complete and a pseudodiphallus having a rudimentary phallus in addition to the normal penis, assfullofcum.com reports.

The CRC Clontarf

My new place of employment for the next two years.
The pictures show the computer room where I will be working and the room next is the printing room. I will also be doing photography and learning to work in the darkroom.

On the 14/8/06 I had an appointment in the CRC Clontarf that was going to some dramatic changes to my life, which I wasn’t expecting.As I drove over my head was a muddle with things going through my head. I was so nervous. I got their almost an hour early so it gave me time to check out the public transport.
One good thing is its just 15 minuets from the Dart station. It would mean I would have to get two trains too and from, it’s not journey by car it takes for ever to travel to.


I went in sat in the reception for about 15 minutes waiting to be called in for my meeting. David came out to me and welcomed me to the CRC and he showed me around and helped me relax some, and introduced me to some of the people I would be working along side during my assessment.
Too my amazement my assessment started their and then, I guess that was a good thing I didn’t have the time to think.

Over the days of my assessment I got to have a good look around and take in my new surroundings and meet with the people working their.
I must say that it is a very relaxed and easy going development. Everyone were so nice all wanted to get to know me and make me feel welcome.
Now that I have passed my assessment I will start my Rehabilitative Training that will run over the duration of two years.

The Central Remedial Clinic is a non-residential national centre for the care, treatment and development of children and adults with physical disabilities. Services are provided for people with physical conditions ranging from the very rare to the more familiar, such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy and arthrogryposis.
Services at the Clinic include clinical assessment, physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, social work, psychology, nursing, dietetics, orthotics, technical services, seating services, orthopaedics, paediatrics, parent support, vision and hearing specialists, transport and catering.

The Clinic has four Dublin-based Day Activity Centres located in Clontarf, Coolock, Firhouse and Hartstown. These centres provide social, physical, educational and recreational activities for adults whose disabilities prevent them from participating in other training or work programmes.


Rehabilitative Training (Pre-Vocational Training), is provided in Clontarf, and is sponsored by the NAHB. There are three levels of programmes a) Foundation Programme, b) Pre-Vocational Programme Level 1, c) Pre-Vocational Programme Level 2.

There are two FÁS Vocational Training Programmes in Clontarf, a) Desk Top Publishing, b) In-Plant Printing also run in Clontarf.

The Clontarf Workshop also has Sheltered Employment with Training opportunities.

History
During the 1940s and 1950s, there were several outbreaks of poliomyelitis in Ireland, especially in the Dublin and Cork areas. In response to the concern for those left with disabilities as a result of this illness, the Central Remedial Clinic was set up in April 1951 by Lady Valerie Goulding and Kathleen O'Rourke as a small non-residential treatment centre in a house in Upper Pembroke Street in the heart of Dublin.
Kathleen O'Rouke was a remedial gymnast with a special interest in rehabilitation therapy. She worked with patients on therapeutic exercises and trained others to do the same. Lady Valerie Goulding had already displayed her unique spirit of concern and charity through her previous work for the disadvantaged in Dublin. She was to prove a charismatic and persistent campaigner for the CRC and soon gathered a number of prominent business people together, who provided advice and helped her to raise funds.

In 1954 she had gathered sufficient funds to move premises to Goatstown, just south of the city centre. In these early years, the emphasis of the CRC was on providing medical and physiotherapy services for children and adults, but in 1956 a small primary school and sheltered workshop was opened.

As demand for the CRC's services grew, so too did its requirements for space. It was decided to move to the north of the city, as there were no services for people with physical disabilities there, and in 1968 the present purpose-built facility in Vernon Avenue, Clontarf was opened.

Lady Goulding was Chairman and Managing Director of the CRC from 1951 to 1984. A staunch believer in the value of early diagnosis and treatment, it was through her foresight and campaigning that services for children and adults with congenital physical disabilities were developed.

As polio has largely disappeared, the role of the Clinic has gradually changed. What was once a one-room clinic with two patients is today the largest organisation in Ireland for people with physical disabilities and provides a comprehensive range of services to almost 4,000 children and 500 adults throughout the country.

Big Brother Final - Winner - Pete

Friends

byWilliam Butler Yeats

Now must I these three praise
Three women that have wrought
What joy is in my days:
One because no thought,
Nor those unpassing cares,
No, not in these fifteen
Many-times-troubled years,
Could ever come between
Mind and delighted mind;
And one because her hand
Had strength that could unbind
What none can understand,
What none can have and thrive,
Youth's dreamy load, till she
So changed me that I live
Labouring in ecstasy.
And what of her that took
All till my youth was gone
With scarce a pitying look?
How could I praise that one?
When day begins to break
I count my good and bad,
Being wakeful for her sake,
Remembering what she had,
What eagle look still shows,
While up from my heart's root
So great a sweetness flows
I shake from head to foot.

Poem of the day

Death a poem
by William Butler Yeats


Nor dread nor hope attend
A dying animal;
A man awaits his end
Dreading and hoping all;
Many times he died,
Many times rose again.
A great man in his pride
Confronting murderous men
Casts derision upon
Supersession of breath;
He knows death to the bone
Man has created death.

Russia Refuses to Outlaw Hizballah, Hamas

Sergei BlagovCorrespondent

Moscow (CNSNews.com) - Moscow's decision to exclude Hizballah and Hamas from a newly published list of terrorist groups has raised concerns in Russia.

The country's main security agency, the Federal Security Service (FSB), released a list of 17 organizations, but omitted the two Islamic groups that deny Israel's right to exist.

Organizations that did make the list included those advocating the violent overthrow of the Russian government - and those with ties to extremists in the North Caucasus or to international terrorist organizations. The list includes al Qaeda and the Taliban.

Gen. Yury Sapunov, head of the FSB's international terrorism department, said Hizballah and Hamas were not listed because they have not planned terrorist acts on Russian territory.

Drunk man bets to cut off his penis for 2,000 USD and wins the bet

For the first time in the history of Latvian medicine, doctors sewed back on the reproductive organ of a man, which he had cut off himself.

As reported by television program Panorama on channel LTV, a man cut off his penis in an argument, informs Delfi.

Doctors in Gailezertz hospital in Riga informed journalists that there had been cases before where a partially amputated penis had had to be restored. However, this was the first time that genitals had been brought to the hospital in a packet. According to the doctors, the incident was due to stupidity on the part of the patient. Whilst drinking alcohol with friends, he had argued with them that for 1000 lat, (about 2000 dollars), he would cut off his own “manhood”. He won the bet.

Bush Touts His Economics

(photo: White House/Kimberlee Hewitt)
Economy Florida Media Photos USA


By Noam N. Levey, Times Staff Writer

Even as he continued to grapple with ongoing Middle East violence, President Bush on Monday used a visit to South Florida to focus attention on his domestic agenda, touting free trade, low taxes and his vision for new immigration laws as cornerstones of a strong economy.

"One of the jobs of government is to put policy in place that encourages the entrepreneurial spirit to flourish," Bush said on the Miami Beach waterfront, talking up his program to bolster economic growth.

That message, prominent recently, has taken on new urgency for the White House as economic growth slows, and high gas prices continue to sap public satisfaction with Bush's management of the economy.

Apocalypse

by Richard Realf

Straight to his heart the bullet crushed;
Down from his breast the red blood gushed,
And o'er his face a glory rushed.

A sudden spasm shook his frame,
And in his ears there went and came
A sound as of devouring flame.

Which in a moment ceased, and then
The great light clasped his brows again,
So that they shone like Stephen's when

Saul stood apart a little space
And shook with shuddering awe to trace
God's splendors settling o'er his face.

Thus, like a king, erect in pride,
Raising clean hands toward heaven, he cried:
"All hail the Stars and Stripes!" and died.

Died grandly. But before he fell—
(O blessedness ineffable!)
Vision apocalyptical

Was granted to him, and his eyes,
All radiant with glad surprise,
Looked forward through the Centuries,

And saw the seeds which sages cast
In the world's soil in cycles past,
Spring up and blossom at the last;

Saw how the souls of men had grown,
And where the scythes of Truth had mown
Clear space for Liberty's white throne;

Saw how, by sorrow tried and proved,
The blackening stains had been removed
Forever from the land he loved;

Saw Treason crushed and Freedom crowned,
And clamorous Faction, gagged and bound,
Gasping its life out on the ground.

* * * * *

With far-off vision gazing clear
Beyond this gloomy atmosphere
Which shuts us out with doubt and fear

He—marking how her high increase
Ran greatening in perpetual lease
Through balmy years of odorous Peace

Greeted in one transcendent cry
Of intense, passionate ecstasy
The sight which thrilled him utterly;

Saluting, with most proud disdain
Of murder and of mortal pain,
The vision which shall be again!

So, lifted with prophetic pride,
Raised conquering hands to heaven and cried:
"All hail the Stars and Stripes!" and died.

Condoleezza Rice's anti-Russian stance based on sexual problems

The US Secretary of State released a coarse anti-Russian statement. This is because she is a single woman who has no children

Condoleezza Rice, the US Secretary of State, openly criticized the Russian government in connection with the gas conflict with Ukraine. Ms. Rice used quite a trivial technique of psychological pressure, which is mostly practiced in the field of education.

According to Condoleezza Rice, Russia's actions towards Ukraine did not characterize it as a respectable member of the Group of Eight. The statement from the high-ranking US official sounded like a reprimand from a strict babysitter that was teaching its baby to behave.

It goes without saying that the largest Eurasian power is not a baby. In addition, the geopolitical system in the world has undergone dramatic changes since the 1990s. The US Secretary of State, however, has seemingly lost the sense of time and reality. Ms. Rice's wish to exercise her political power became a surprise for both the Russian Ministry for Foreign Affairs and proponents of traditional liberal values.

Do you believe in ghosts?

Do you believe in ghosts well I know I do well at least I think I do.
My first encounter with a ghost was when I was about five years old. Some thing or someone woke me so I got out of bed and made my way down stairs. When going down our stairs on the left there are two windows and a long windowsill to walk on too change the curtains or drapes depending where you’re from.

I was about eye level to the window sill when I saw the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. It was a saluted of a person made out of colours something like a rainbow, only much finer.

When I got down stairs I told my Dad I saw an angel one of my uncles was there at the time. It was late in the night don’t know how late but late enough for me. My dad asked me where I had seen it and my uncle said it might have been lightning but I knew it wasn’t it didn’t look like it and it stayed their till I got to my dad.

Over the years I would get weird feeling around me cold and hot and strange smells.
At times when I would get the feeling that someone or something was around. I would know something was going to happen.
Like the time I was in Dublin City waiting on a bus I gave a guy next to me a cigarette as I was lighting it I said to him I had a feeling that a bomb was going to blow up across the street.
Just then I saw sparks from under a car and it blew up killing two men.
I had lots encounters with my Mum and one of my Uncles.

But the strangest one has to come yet about tree years after the bombing in Dublin I went to work in the Isle of Man.
It was in the old hotel I came across a ghost which after some time gave me the idea to play a prank that’s the story in one of my other posts.
My room in the hotel was at the end of a long corridor five rooms on either side and one at the far end.
Next to my door was the fire exit that lead to a stair well but just on the other side of that door was a room to the right.
The stir well wasn’t the nicest of pleases to be it was dark and grey and had a creepy feel about it.
My room was small with a single bed to the left as you walked in with the head board too the wall with the door.
Straight in front was the window and a wardrobe to the right and wash hand basin to the left.
One night I woke to see a boy standing at the side of my bed looking at me, I shouted at him asking what the hell was he doing in my room. He turned and walked out; I got out of bed and went after him when I was about half way down the corridor I noticed I had nothing on me. I look down the corridor and the boy was gone.
About a week after that I woke to see the boy at the end of my bed he picked up a chair that was at the end of my bed with my jeans on it. I taught he was going to hit me with the chair so I covered my head with the blankets to cushion the blow.
I waited for a second and nothing happened so I went looking for him, I went into the room at the other side of the fire exit.
When I went into the room I could see a fire and a boy trying to get out the window.
I went to get help just as I turned the room went into darkness. There was no fire and no boy.
So I latched on to this and used it to frighten the girls I would tell them that the hotel was haunted by a little boy.
We were talking about the boy when two old women came along they were chamber maids, I would smile when I would see the them they were so old and still working and it was a struggle for them to walk let alone work.
I said to the women that I was telling the girls that the hotel was haunted, guess what they told the very same story that I had just been telling the girls, now the hairs stud up on my arms.
The story went on that the boy was trying to break the window with the chair when he was over come by smoke and died.
The reason why im telling this story is because I was telling my son and he didn’t believe it.
So I went on to the net to see if I could find out anything about the boy. But was no good on info on the hotel only this I found a picture of the hotel that I worked in on fire, it happened some time after I left the Isle of Man. but the strange thing is the back of the hotel caught fire started by a fire in a garage joined to the hotel. I put an arrow the where my room was.

Bush and chaos in the world

"The US-led invasion of Iraq was an illegal act that contravened the UN charter." UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, (Sept. 2004)
"I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we're really talking about peace.” George W. Bush, (June 18, 2002, speech)
"I think this is the worst government the US has ever had in its more than 200 years of history." George A. Akerlof, 2001 Nobel Prize laureate in economics, (July 29, 2003)
Coincidence or not, things started to go bad internationally soon after George W. Bush squeezed into power in January 2001, with the help of a one-member majority of the U.S. Supreme Court. Days after his inauguration, the new president began uttering incendiary statements, seemingly designed to provoke the Muslim world, but also to bully America's allies.
Contrary to previous American presidents who tried to maintain at least the appearance of neutrality in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Bush chose instead to put his foot in his mouth by proclaiming his overt partiality: "We're going to correct the imbalances from the previous administration on the Mideast conflict. We're going to tilt it back toward Israel. And we're going to be consistent."
Then Bush declared his contempt for international treaties and for international law, joking smart-aleckly that his lawyer, future Attorney General Alberto Gonzales "didn't bring that up to me." Moreover, he proceeded to cancel unilaterally decades-old treaties and conventions.

To what extent the al-Qaeda attacks of 9/11 were in response to Bush's provocations, we will probably never know. One thing is certain, however, and it is that they surely did not help.

The U.N.-sanctioned 2001 attacks against the al-Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan were accepted by the rest of the world as a necessary military mission to extirpate the virus of Islamist terrorism. Such was not the case with the unprovoked 2003 war against Iraq. There were no Islamist terrorists in Iraq before George W. Bush decided on his own to invade and occupy that country militarily.

It was all too clear that the balkanization of Iraq was part of George W. Bush's larger (neocon) agenda. By invading Iraq illegally and by destroying its government, the Bush-Cheney administration knew perfectly well that such a foreign intervention would precipitate a civil war between the Shiites, the Sunnis and the Kurds, and bring forth a nationalist reaction.

The Prank

I worked in an old Victorian hotel on a promenade in a well known holyday spot.
It was four stories high including the attic witch was once the living quarters for the staff.
The third floor was turned into the living quarters for the staff. It was a creepy looking place with a tower in the middle.
One day in off peak when the guest’s numbers were low and the staff was reduced to two waitresses and me as chef lol.
Just a little laugh at the idea of me been a chef, that’s another story.
Anyway one day or night whatever the case may be.
It was around November and it got dark early and I felt like playing one of my pranks, one that I did every second night. I would go up into the attic and move the old furniture and drag stuff across the floor.
Then make my way back to my room as quick as I could.

The girls would come knocking on my door telling me about the noise that they heard.
I would tell them that there was nothing to worry about. That it was more then likely a ghost.
I would go on to tell them that back in 1914 the hotel was turned into a war hospital and it as properly a ghost of a dead soldier.

On this particular night the girls went down to the bar for some drinks after I play my prank. I opened all the vacant room doors to let the street light shine in onto the hallway.
I removed all the bulbs from the light fittings, I then removed a curtain or drape from one of the windows it was pale green in colour.
I got a coat hanger hung if from one of the light shades then wrapped the curtain around it.
It hung about two to tree inches from the ground, with the light from the street shining in on it, it looked scary.

Later on that night I was at the bar and had forgotten all about what I did.
The girls came screaming into the lounge saying that they saw a ghost.
It really scared the living daylights out of them.
It had taken some time to calm them down in the end I told them what I did. And I went off too a night club in the basement of the hotel, where I met up with my friends.
We were having a good laugh over some more drinks about what I did.
With that the fire alarm went off and a member of the fire department came in and asked everyone to leave.

The fire was up in the staff quarters and the two girls were treated for shock.
After a number of days of investigations by the police they arrested the ex chef and a friend of his from the Royal Navy for causing the fire.

It went to court and I was called as a witness because the two guys were in my company when I was telling the story about the ghost I made.
When the two accused were been questioned they said that when they had gone to the staff quarters (where they had no right in going) they found the place in darkness and lit a match he said just as he lit the match he saw a ghost dropped the match and ran.

Then it was my turn to give evidence and boy did I get it from left and right and the news papers were there, they had a field day with the story of the ghost.
The two guys were locked up because they couldn’t see the (ghost) from where they said they were and where the fire was.
And I got one hell of a rough time from my boss; mind you the bar did well for a time after the story hitting the papers.
And it was the last prank I played on someone for a long time.

Did you ever play a prank and did it ever get out of hand?

Is your life a fantasy or real?

If your life revolves around heartbreak, drugs, guns, gold, murder, rape, partying, smuggling.
Would you share it in the hope that no one recognise themselves in the story and track you down?
Or just keep it to yourself and bring it to the grave with you.
When I look back on my life especially when I was in my twenties, my path was a little rough to say the least.
Trying to do my best to stay alive and not to offend the company I was in was a task in its self.
With some murder came as easy as tying a lace on your shoe. Gambling in casinos was another of their favorit pastimes, which brought along its own kind of trouble, when out of the head on drink or coke and the cash starts to go down, well someone has to be blamed.
That kind of night you could find yourself waking up in a doorway covered in your own blood and black and blue.
The worst kind of night is when your sitting at the bar having some beers, and one of them start to going over his good old days, witch can turn out to be your bad night out.
Like one night I can recall sitting at the bar with my Boss and his friend, his friend is the kind you wouldn’t trust his shadow.
Anyway we were talking; well they were talking to me bragging over good old times.
Like how his friend killed another with am ashtray.
That amused them for a while telling me how easy it is to kill with an ashtray. Then they went on to tell other ways to kill. Like scaring someone to death, I laugh and said I didn’t think it possible to scare someone to death, boy was that a big mistake on my behalf.
So they told me about the time they hooded some guy for doing something not worth talking about.
They brought the guy on a chopper flew around for a while and kicked him out the door. And the poor guy died, now he said that’s how you scare someone to death.
No I said he threw him to his death the fall would have killed him.
The guy said to me the chopper wasn’t off the ground.
My Boss said I will tell you another way how to scare some one or that will leave a mark on his mind for life.
He left the bar and went to his apartment that was part of the hotel, and I was left talking with the guy that takes great satisfaction in tell me about killing.
The boss came back with a single barrel shotgun and said to me you can only run and hide in the hotel.
Now start running with that he loaded the shotgun lets off one shot to let me know he meant business.
Boy did I learn how to play hide and seek fast and played it well I even fell asleep standing up.
The next day the guy never remembered a thing about the whole night, but I did and never will forget it.

Could this or is this story true?

What is Death?

I am looking for answers on Death because it is one thing we have to do we all have to die at some time and it can’t be pushed a side or can it.

I have been trying to understand Death and what it means.
I don’t know if I am afraid of dying or is it just the word Death that makes me nervous.

When I really think about it I get kind of anxious almost a feeling that I can’t wait to find out in other words I am dying to find out what death is.

At times I feel life is a circle of mirrors so no matter what mirror you look in its never ending.
So when you die one of those mirrors loses your image but you life still goes on, but the mirror you left life still continues without you. But your life goes on in the other mirrors.
In words you don’t know if you have died or not, have you ever had a close encounter with death? If so maybe you died you don’t know, are your just living in another mirror.

Another way of looking at the mirrors in the circle is that each mirror is a different way of living, one mirror is bad, one is good, and another decides whether you are a going to be a killer or whatever.

So all you have to do is turn around and choose a mirror and if your not liking the life that is, you turn to another mirror of life.

Maybe that is why we encounter ghosts, when you die you leave one mirror but continue on in another but you want to change your way of life so you pick another mirror but you got back to the old mirror that you died in.

I have 100’s of ways to look at Death but don’t know witch one is the real way to death.
How do you see death are you afraid to die do you believe in another life.
I would love to know your ideas on Death so post a comment but please if you’re going to comment try to keep religion to a minimum. Because I do not think Death is a religious thing.

Syphilis is the best disease people may catch after having unsafe sex

Every person of either sex had to consider seeking professional medical help of a venerelogist at least once. No doubt about it, love is a beautiful feeling. But you just cannot write off sexually transmitted deceases (STD).

The story is not new. Two people meet, have a few drinks, and go to bed. They wake up the next morning and go separate ways. After awhile, they meet again. In a hospital where outpatients diagnosed with skin and sexually transmitted diseases receive treatment. And nobody seems to know who infected who.

According to recent scientific findings, the brain of a person prone to taking unsubstantiated risks has a decreased electrical activity in some of its sections responsible for motivation and decision-making. To put it bluntly, the findings indicate some mental problems of those who practice unsafe sex (no condoms or suppositories).

Miraculous garlic vodka treats diabetes and cancer

From time immemorial garlic has been known for its remarkable qualities both as a flavouring and a unique natural medication.

The invigorating qualities of garlic were used many centuries ago in Ancient Egypt. Ancient Greeks and Ancient Romans were certain that garlic could put heart and bravery to warriors. In China the vegetable was used to treat the diseases of lungs and intestines. It was also used as an antiseptic during plague and cholera epidemics. Russian physicians believed that garlic had medicinal qualities against snake bites, infectious diseases and plague.


Garlic is a wonderful prophylactic against a large number of diseases, flu first and foremost. The healing qualities of the vegetable were a mystery for ancient doctors. The secret was unveiled by Dr. David Mirelman from the Jerusalem-based Institute for Medicine. The scientist found out that garlic was rich with allicin – the substance that literally eats up pathogenic microbes in the body. Garlic neutralizes so-called free molecules, the source of long-lasting infectious processes. In addition, it fights dysentery and bile duct illnesses.

CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TONIGHT ? (Elton John)

Lyrics: CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TONIGHT ? (Elton John

There's a calm surrender
To the rush of day
When the heat of the rolling world
Can be turned away
An enchanted moment
And it sees me through
It's enough for this restless warrior
Just to be with you

(Chorus:)
And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest?
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

There's a time for ev'ryone
If they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope
Moves us all in turn
There's a rhyme and reason
To the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager
Beats in time with yours

(Repeat chorus)

It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

Typical of the US forces

I came across this cartoon and it doesn’t make sense to me.
The picture on the right dose it shows how destructive can be.
But as a whole it don’t add up, take the picture on the left its giving the impression the Iraqi were responsible for the attack on the twin towers.

Bush says Geneva Conventions do not apply to Guantanamo Bay

U.S. President George Bush says the people being held at Guantanamo Bay do not fall under the Geneva Conventions because they do not represent a country.

At a news conference Friday in Chicago, Bush said though he will adhere to the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision saying he exceeded his authority in ordering military tribunals for Guantanamo inmates, he is convinced this is different than what any president has been through before.

North Korea plays call my bluff.

North Korea's missiles have caused quite a stir in the world. All the countries participating in the regulation of the North Korean nuclear program denounced Pyongyang’s military initiative. Even China stood up with criticism of N.Korean missile tests in spite of the fact that Chinese officials usually prefer to withhold emotions when it comes to decisions made by the North Korean administration.

Russia has had quite a tough reaction. The missiles fell down in the 200-mile economic zone of Russia. One of the missiles hit the sea surface only several tens of kilometers far from the town of Nakhodka.

It is still not known what kind of missiles N.Korea launched. If they were Scud or Nodon rockets, it means that Pyongyang did not violated its obligations not to test long-range missiles (the range of Scuds and Nodons reaches 1,300 kilometers). However, if it is ballistic Taepodong-2 rocket, the events take a different turn. If North Korea does not hesitate to launch its up-to-date Taepodong-2 ballistic missiles, it means that all present and possible agreements with this country do not cost a thing.

Experts say they cannot prove the fact of the Taepodong-2 tests. Some of them think that North Korea does not possess the required technologies for the production of such missiles.

“There is no information about the type of ballistic missiles launched by North Korea on July 4. If it goes about the intercontinental Taepodong-2 rocket, it is only a game, because they have not tested the prototype of this rocket – Taepodong-1,” a senior specialist of the Institute for World Economy and International Relations, Vladimir Dvorkin, told Interfax. “It was most likely another provocation that is meant to stir up negotiations on the nuclear program of North Korea , receive economic help and guarantees to preserve the current regime in this isolated region,” the scientist said.

“The missile bluff of North Korea bears a certain resemblance to the anti-missile bluff of the USA when the country announced that its underdeveloped air defense system was operational, meaning that it was ready for possible use in the event of a threatening missile launch.

The chairman of the Council for Foreign and Defense Politics, Sergei Karaganov sticks to a different point of view. “The fact that North Korea has started launching ballistic missiles is a bad sign for everyone,” the scientist of politics told Pravda.Ru. The specialist believes that Pyongyang will be even more isolated from the rest of the world than it was before. “Russia is also supposed to be highly concerned on the issue because North Korea said that it supposedly possessed nuclear warheads,” he said.
North Korea is apparently satisfied with the effect of its missile tests. A spokesman for the Foreign Affairs Department of North Korea said that it was a sovereign right of the country to conduct missile tests and no other country could dictate whether the tests could be performed or not.

A Qustion to King Arthur

Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighboring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer and, if after a year, he still had no answer, he would be put to death.

The question?...What do women really want? Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, and to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end.

He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: the princess, the priests, the wise men and even the court jester. He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer.

Many people advised him to consult the old witch, for only she would have the answer.

But the price would be high; as the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.

The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer the question, but he would have to agreeto her price first.

The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table and Arthur's closest friend!

Young Arthur was horrified. She was hunchbacked and hideous, had onlyone tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene noises, etc He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life.

He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terribleburden; but Lancelot, learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur.

He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared toArthur’s life and the preservation of the Round Table.

Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered Arthur's question thus: What a woman really wants, she answered....is to be in charge of her own life.

Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth and that Arthur's life would be spared.And so it was, the neighboring monarch granted Arthur his freedom andLancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding.

The honeymoon hour approached and Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But, what a sight awaited him. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen lay before him on the bed.

The astounded Lancelot asked what had happened.

The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared as a witch, she would henceforth, be her horrible deformed self only half the time and the beautiful maiden the other half.Which would he prefer?

Beautiful during the day....or night?Lancelot pondered the predicament. During the day, a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch? Or, would he prefer having a hideous witch during the day, but by night, a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wondrous intimate moments?

What would YOU do?What Lancelot chose is below. BUT....make YOUR choice before you scroll down below.

Noble Lancelot said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself.Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time because he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own life.

Now....what is the moral to this story?Scroll down!

The moral is.....If you don't let a woman have her own way....Things are going to get ugly!!!!

Email

A couple from Minneapolis decided to go to Florida for a long weekend to thaw out during one particularly icy cold winter. They both had jobs, and had difficulty coordinating their travel schedules. It was decided the husband would fly to Florida on a Thursday, and his wife would follow him the next day. Upon arriving as planned, the husband checked into the hotel. There he decided to open his laptop and send his wife an e-mail back in Minneapolis. However, he accidentally left off one letter in her address and sent the e-mail without noticing his error.
In the mean time: In Houston, a widow had just returned from her husband's funeral. He was a minister of many years who had been "called home to glory" following a heart attack (died and gone to report in heaven). The widow checked her e-mail, expecting messages from family and friends. Upon reading the first message, she fainted and fell to the floor. The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor and saw the computer screen which read:
To: My loving WifeFrom: Your Departed HusbandSubject: I've arrived!
I've just arrived and have been checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then. Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.
P.S. Sure is hot down here.

War Crimes by US soldiers are starting to come in

US soldiers probed over civilian killings

It was only a mater of time, did they honestly think that they could get away with it.
US military has launched another criminal investigation into whether US soldiers killed a family of four Iraqi civilians in there home south of Baghdad.
A military inquiry into the incident found sufficient reason to move to a formal criminal investigation.
The incident occurred n the area of Mahmudiyah, south of the capital. US forces were conducting extensive operations in the area at the time of the alleged incident.
I don’t know what one they are talking about at the moment there is so many cases of criminal acts by the US forces.
I think it could be the one where they went into a house and shot the family while they were in there bed some were as young as six years old.
No dough they well get charged with something as mild manslaughter like the rest that are brought up before the US military courts.
Where I think they should be up before the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
Here are some links they are so many.

Is it not time to impeached Bush before he destroys America

Polls and studies have showed that George Bush’s rating is nose-diving. And actually there are some reasons for it, among which the following are: war in Iraq, secret CIA prisons, eavesdropping, Katrina response and some other.

Bush has broken another record for presidential arrogance and suppression of information.

The Boston Globe report that President Bush had made greater use than any other president of adding "signing statements" to bills passed by Congress that he intends not to follow.

Now, Cox News Service reports that two separate studies show that Bush, more than any president in history, has invoked the "state secrets privilege" to block lawsuits that supposedly would harm national security.

He used it, for instance, to block a suit by the American Civil Liberties Union against the National Security Agency's eavesdropping on Americans' telephone calls.

As far as we know, the Bush administration has invoked the privilege at least 24 times. Taking into mind that between the years of 1953 and 2001, the privilege was invoked 55 times

William Weaver, political science professor at the University of Texas-El Paso, an expert on presidents' use of the privilege, likens it to the magic ring in "Lord of the Rings." "They put it on and they disappear, at least from the context of potentially illegal or embarrassing circumstances."

Just Bush last month to block a case brought by Khalid el-Masri, the German who claims to have been mistakenly abducted and tortured under the CIA's clandestine "rendition" program.

Male stripper

The other day, my friends and I went to a Ladies Night Club. One of the girls wanted to impress the rest of us, so she pulled out a $10 bill. When the male dancer came over to us, my friend licked the $10 bill and stuck it to his butt cheek!
Not to be outdone, another friend pulls out a $20 bill. She calls the guy back over, licks the $20 bill, and sticks it to his other butt cheek.
In another attempt to impress the rest of us, my third friend pulls out a $50 bill and calls the guy over, and licks the bill. I'm worried about the way things are going, but fortunately she just stuck it to one of his butt cheeks, again.
My relief was short lived. Seeing the way things are going, the guy gyrates over to me! Now everyone's attention is focused on me, and the guy's egging me on to try to top the $50.
My brain was churning as I reached for my wallet. What could I do? Then the marketer in me took over! I got out my ATM card, swiped it down the crack of his ass, grabbed the 80 bucks, and went home.

Poem of the day

The Forbidden One
Anonymous
Oh, tell me, tell me what could this be,
Could this be love that enthralls me
Not just any emotion But confidence,
affection, and devotionMiles apart days away
But this love chiseled in my heart will stay
Wanting to grasp you close to me
But knowing I cant oh why does this be
Caged, reaching out for you So close and knowing you want this too
Illusions of love you and me
But knowing I have to hide this, bites like a bee
Yet the one thing that keeps us together
Destroy us and will never untether
Yet in the reserve of our alone
You hold me dear and no one is touv known
Infatuation in every stroke and every kiss
When we are apart I fantasize of this
This love is too herculean to waste
So fare away yet close enough to taste
Longing to be with you all the time
Hungry for your heart to be one with mine
Take this hand and escort me to your ocean
Kiss me and fill me with your fragrant potion
One to make me winded make me week
That one takes all there life to seek
And at this age I have rescued love
You were sent from a glorified spirit above
Every time I glance at your eyes so pure and blue
I lose my senses and want to be retained by you
Craving to be in your arms, be held so tight
Yearning praying begging with all my might
But I know this in no way will be
You and me at once for all to see
This, this, what it could be
For this, this, is verboten love that captivates me

A little bit of Humour

Just something light to add a smile to the day.

Russian hostages 'killed in Iraq'

Insurgents in Iraq say they have killed four Russian embassy workers kidnapped at the start of June.
The Mujahideen Shura Council, an umbrella group incorporating al-Qaeda in Iraq, released an internet video and a statement announcing their deaths.
The video showed one man being beheaded and another shot dead, as well as the body of a third, but there was no sign of the fourth hostage.
What dose it take to stop this sort of thing war doesn’t seem the be the answer. For every paramilitary killed seems to be replaced tenfold.
If you were in power what would do or what way would you handle it to bring all this terror to an end.

Sensitive Men Do Exist

Hundreds of cute small teddy bears on a shelf all the way along the floor, cuddly medium-sized ones on a shelf a little higher, and huge enormous bears on the top shelf along the wall. The woman is surprised that this guy would have a collection of teddy bears, especially one that's so extensive, but she decides not to mention this to him. and actually is quite impressed by his sensitive side.

After an intense night of passion with this sensitive guy, they're lying there together in the afterglow,
the woman rolls over and she asks, smiling,
"Well, how was it?"
The guy says:

"Help yourself to any prize from the bottom shelf."
