Current Location: the front yard Current Mood: jeliza @ : Birthday! It was, by her request, a yellow and orange with penguins theme (which came out quite happy and sunshiney) at Cascade Elite Gymnastics; the adults all really wanted to be able to play too. A whole gallery is up, but if you would just like the highlights: (look at the cuteness, not the photos; the light was bizarre, I didn't realize until the day was over I had set the flash mode exotically, and was having focus issues) ( a few more after the cut ) vaughnb, posting in lowbrow @ : Fireflies too ![]() She is for sale but needs to be in this show so if you are interested in her just comment here and we can make arrangements and talk price. kerrykate @ : Three Black Poppies This was taken weeks ago.

John Cornyn drew boos from a crowd outside the Texas Capitol this afternoon as he spoke at a “tea party” rally organized by the Texas office of Americans for Prosperity. Cornyn was booed at the start and close of his remarks, which assailed actions in Washington; there were no boos while he awarded a Purple Heart to a Copperas Cove resident injured in Iraq in 2006. “You’re the problem,” a crowd member hollered. Another crowd member yelled that Cornyn voted for the initial federal bailout of Wall Street approved by Congress last year, the Troubled Asset Relief Program. Cornyn was the first elected official to speak, though Gov. Rick Perry and others are expected to have turns. UPDATE, 4:04 p.m.: Perry drew scattered boos, notably from crowd members aware of his advocacy of toll roads to relieve traffic congestion. Cornyn, a Republican elected to his second Senate term last year, said before today’s gathering that he wasn’t sure what kind of reception he’d field. “I don’t yet know exactly what it’s going to be like,” Cornyn said Wednesday. He said he’d agreed to “come and talk about my belief that local government including state government is closest to the people and more likely to be responsive to their needs. And we’ll see how it goes. “What do you think?” he asked a reporter. “You think it’s going to be OK? I’m waiting to see.” “I didn’t want to come some place that I wasn’t wanted.” source also itp spam your favorite Tea Party 2 pics because holy shit there are some funny ones e_apollo @ : .iPhone app: Brushes. ![]() media: Brushes iPhone application The first result. A small painting. It may seem trivial, and it likely is, but it beats watching someone play a game on their iPhone. I rather glance over someone's shoulder to see them... finger painting away some image! A friend of mine had highly recommended this application to me after having tried it on his phone. The resolution is small. Not really made for print. So think of this more of an online-based painting program. Current Music: B-Tribe - Las Salinas gurdonark @ : 7 virtues wordle January. This image says a lot about me, I think--click to enlarge: iatrogenicmyth, posting in greatpoets @ : Place Message Here // Richard Jackson --Larry Brown, Dirty Work That was when our love began for me, though late, the way a flock of darkness settles over your shoulders. I remember the muted reflections that smudged the water prowling among the lingering rocks, a snail crawling out of its shell, the drizzle of light, the blackened windows. It was when that the sun peeled away the dark from the air, the surface of the water, then the soul. It was only then that I could read the shadows that followed our words. It seemed that the whole planet was taking aim at our future. I thought, then, that I could see your own soul in the constant waves tearing unconcerned at the impenetrable dunes. I wanted, then, to believe the moon is a flower, fragrant, its stem tossed across the water. It was then that I entered some other world, the way your life wakes suddenly in the middle of the night to find your own worn-out dreams lying in sheets around you, an empty bottle on the table, and yet some voice stumbling down the hallway of the wind trying the locked doors of the heart, calling out your name. It was then on that shore after I heard the news of my friend's heart tearing open like a wet paper bag. I was standing where Marconi sent his messages which seemed to fill the air, still, like swallows. There is always another life in the corner of our eyes, one that begins because our poor words have never said what we meant at the time. Today, here, ladybugs fill my porch screen trying to reach the early sun that radiates through the fine mesh. They halt there like messages never received, empty husks of some abandoned future we can never know. Why is it we love so fully what has washed up on the beaches of our hearts, those lost messages, lost friends, the daylight stars we never get to see? Bad luck never takes a vacation, my friend once wrote. It lies there among the broken shells and stones we collect, a story he would say begins with you, with me, a story that is forever lost among the backwaters of our lives, our endless fear of ourselves, and our endless need for hope, a story, perhaps an answer, a word suddenly on wing, the simple sound of a torn heart, or the unmistakable scent of the morning's fading moon. Tags: richard jackson elizabeg, posting in apartmentgarden @ : Harvesting/planting pepper seeds? We've had a tiny chile pepper plant--probably Piquin, since the chiles are incredibly small, about the size of my pinky nail--for over two years now and it just keeps plugging along. ( click for a picture of last year's first chiles ) But the plant does seem to be working much harder this year to manage foliage and flowers and fruit. We have a few tiny fruits so far, but the leaves are curling a bit. I'll try to take a picture soon. No gardening book I've read expected it to last this long--over two years--since we've had to transplant it twice now and peppers often cave to transplant shock. Long story short, my boyfriend and I are starting to research the best way to try planting some of its own seeds to see what we get for a second generation. Is it really as simple as plunking a pod in fertile soil? Should it be a fresh fruit from this year or seeds from one of last year's chiles (which we dried and saved)? One seed or several? I'm not sure. But we love the plant so much that we want to try something. And any advice you have would be most welcome. We do know we might not get the same plant or a sturdy one the next time around. This may not have been an heirloom. We got it at the farmer's market, though, so there's a shot that it's a decent variety. I just wish we'd remembered to ask the busy farmer what we were buying before he turned to another customer...

In my ‘Reading Greek’ vocabulary they have exile listed as ό φυγάς. However I definitely remember this as ό θυγάς from my A-Level vocabulary list. My question is, is one of them incorrect, or are they different versions, like θαλαττα and θαλασσα? And if they’re different versions, where does each come from respectively?
