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.

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.

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.

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.
