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).
