The Word


Down near the bottom
of the crossed-out list
of things you have to do today,

between "green thread"
and "broccoli" you find
that you have penciled "sunlight."

Resting on the page, the word
is as beautiful, it touches you
as if you had a friend

and sunlight were a present
he had sent you from some place distant
as this morning -- to cheer you up,

and to remind you that,
among your duties, pleasure
is a thing,

that also needs accomplishing
Do you remember?
that time and light are kinds

of love, and love
is no less practical
than a coffee grinder

or a safe spare tire?
Tomorrow you may be utterly
without a clue

but today you get a telegram,
from the heart in exile
proclaiming that the kingdom

still exists,
the king and queen alive,
still speaking to their children,

- to any one among them
who can find the time,
to sit out in the sun and listen.

- Tony Hoagland

  3. An abortion is the termination of a pregnancy. There are two commonly held views on the question of when a pregnancy begins. Some consider a pregnancy to begin at conception (that is, the fertilization of the egg by the sperm), while others consider it to begin with implantation (when the embryo implants in the lining of the uterus). A 2001 Zogby International American Values poll revealed that 49 percent of Americans believe that human life begins at conception. Presumably many who hold this belief think that any action that destroys human life after conception is the termination of a pregnancy,

  4. Last night I went to bed about twenty minutes after Rob. Normally, he would still be awake, but last night I could tell by the sound of his breathing that he was deeply asleep. The winery tires him out during harvest because it’s all hard physical labor and extremely long hours. He was sprawled across the bed, arms outstretched. I nudged him to get him to move.

  9. Peter manages to convince Sylar to give him his power--which involves watch repair. Don't ask--I have no idea. But with that power, comes what Sylar terms "the hunger. "You have it now. I'm so sorry." Sylar tells Peter. Right after that, the hit squad shows up to kill present Peter. In the scuffle, Knox kills Sylar's son and Sylar, in his grief, goes radioactive killing 200,000 people.

  14. For the last three weeks I’ve been using my ex-girlfriend Jessie’s toothbrush. I don’t know why really, and if someone asked for a rational explanation I’d be hard pressed to come up with an answer. Even if I could, the explanation would surely be undercut by the fact a brand new toothbrush rests unopened on my bathroom counter.

  17. All of this research can only lead us to one, common sense conclusion: The Internet is important, but should not be the only focus of a pharma marketing effort. I think most marketers would agree that an integrated marketing campaign that utilizes each channel (social technologies, mainstream media, mobile wom) appropriately for the maximum benefit is the smart way to go.

  19. Today is our day off, and a very well deserved one. We got to sleep in until 9:30, four hours later than usual this morning, a real treat. Of course, my newfound internal clock had me awake at 7:15. I layed in my sleeping bag relaxing and listening to the birds and the water for about an hour before working up the motivation to write a journal entry. I sat up for about 45 minutes with my French-English dictionary and did my best to think of something creative.

The internet is full of affiliate programs to choose from, so make sure you choose one that fits your niche, that it is a good product, and that you are getting a good commission that rewards your efforts.Try to research the program by reading reviews on the internet. The last thing you want to do is promote a product that is a scam or a very poor product.

  22. In western culture dominated by pasty white complexions, it’s normal that we have evolved to desire and envy those capable of darker shades. But it is a dangerous fascination with the technology to harness ultraviolet rays and concentrate it into a pod which we proceed to immerse ourself. And as if that weren’t crazy enough to use drugs and lotions that make our skin more sensitive to light so we can speed up the process by which the UV rays damage our skins.

  24. I believe that now more than ever, good companies should be keeping the lines of communication open with their employees.  This is a time when a good company will pull their people together and do things to build and instill confidence.  Openly squash rumors as soon as they surface if those rumors are untrue.

  25. The cost of LCD screens have come down a lot in last 12 months, as seen by Panasonic’s 150-inch LCD screen showcased at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, which cost the same as the 109 inch screen the company put on display at the show the previous year. As a result, in dash car TV DVD players with 6.5 and 7 inch screens are considered to be the norm, and should be extremely affordable.

  26. I have long been a fan of ChicBuds and was delighted to have the opportunity to review a pair of Rock Buds.  I have to be honest and say that I didn’t review them but my husband did. He was more than eager to review the men’s series since he has read my past reviews on the ChicBuds and The Pink Tooth.

  30. The next step in making your table topper is to mark the back of the lightest square. Using your 8″ marking ruler, mark on both sides of the ruler and down the center of the ruler in the holes. The side markings will be where you sew, the middle marking will be your cutting line. Note: if you do not have a handy dandy ruler like the one shown in the picture, you can draw a pencil line down the center of your block, from point to point, then draw lines 1/4″ on each side of that center line

Hemorrhoids seems to get worse for those between the ages of 45 and 65 but that doesn’t mean that the younger ones are excused from this ailment.

  33. People from the US can still come to Canada woofout a passport cuz Canadians are still friendly. I think that if Canadians have to have one of those to go to the US, then Americans should have to have one to come to Canada... but hey, I'm just a dog. Anyway, so Mom had to give it a lot of thought... is it worth the cost of having a passport just to go there fur 2 or 3 days, one weekend, out of a whole year.

To make a long story short, we discovered that the light didnt go out. �The entire casing for the light was malfunctioning. The whole thing needed to be replaced. Since the vette is still under warranty, he put in a service ticket for the headlight casing to be replaced at the place where we bought it. We were told that the part would be here in about 2 weeks.
