      To Ponder
      I am your smile ..and your tears too. Profoundly black, shallow and blue. I give love you can forever have.. I take life with an invisible knife. -Hear my melodies on a hush night full of fantasies- A morning star keeper.. the night goddess' pleaser. Catching slaps and kicks .. I play with those freaks.You can rest in my place but I don't promise to take care of you.What am I?

      Thoughts to Ponder
      Life is full of challenges. In the battle of life, there is always a winner and a loser. A loser puts out derisive notes to the winner's heart just to gain his victory. You cannot knockdown a greatest warrior in times of battle because he is not superficial; he is impregnable, and firm. Loser= Coward. A coward tends to do: utter threats and throw manure from where he feels safe.Let me share to you one of my all time favorite quotes from Theodore Roosevelt:The credit belongs to the person who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; who does actually strive to do deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotion, spends onesel

      Petraeus "Surge" So Successful Officials Ponder Accelerated Troop Withdrawals
      Gen. David Petraeus's surge has been so successful in reducing violence that some officials at the Pentagon and the State Department, not to mention in the Democratic Congress are wondering whether Petraeus can accelerate his timetable for withdrawal of U.S. troops. Petraeus summarized the good news about security in an interview Tuesday in his office in the Republican Palace. He described the remarkable improvements since the U.S. troop surge reached full strength over the summer. Behind him was a chart outlining his "anaconda strategy" against al-Qaeda. Like the giant snake, Petraeus said, the American military is destroying its prey by "squeezing, squeezing, squeezing." The U.S. commander said the level of violence in Iraq is down about 60 percent from summer's peak in every major category overall attacks, U.S. casualties and Iraqi civilian casualties.

        Just watched the Ajax game (still Saturday here) and was shocked at just how ruthless it was for a 'friendly'. Both the Arse and Ajax seemed to be out to prove a point. Seemed to me to be the first serious game of the season even if they were just playing for a toy cup full of Kinder Surprise eggs. Very interesting game as the side Wenger put out was much closer to most peoples pick for the regular 1st team (minus Cesc of course). Made me think of a few things that I wanted to whack down here before toddling off to the land of nod. Simple bullets rip ‘em apart at will: 1 ) RVP's temper is a slight worry. Now that he's blossoming into the talent we knew he'd become, he's now the no. 1 target for the 'bring him down' brigade – as we saw with Ajax. With temper flares like that which he showed today, it could be an issue. He showed weakness by reacting and giving up a stupid foul (and yellow card) and in this business tha

      PowerPoint Turns 20, As Its Creators Ponder A Dark Side to Success
      One of the most elegant, most influential and most groaned-about pieces of software in the history of computers is 20 years old. There won't be a lot of birthday celebrations for PowerPoint; the program is one the world loves to mock almost as much as it loves to use. While PowerPoint has served as the metronome for countless crisp presentations, it has also allowed an endless expanse of dimwit ideas to be dressed up with graphical respectability. And not just in conference rooms, but also in the likes of sixth-grade book reports and at PowerPointSermons.com. As it happens, what might be called the downside of the culture of PowerPoint is something that bemuses, concerns and occasionally appalls PowerPoint's two creators as much as it does everyone else. Robert Gaskins was the visionary entrepreneur who in the mid-1980s realized that the huge but largely invisible market for preparing business slides was a perfect match for the coming generation of graphics-oriented computers.

      2nd Annual Ponder This… NFL Draft Prospects
      With the NFL Draft two days away, it’s about that time to release our 2nd Annual ranking of the top 13 prospects in this year’s class. Last year’s rankings saw RB Reggie Bush, DE Mario Williams and QB Vince Young taking the 1, 2, and 3 spots, respectively, in our rankings. Subsequently Bush was taken 2nd, Williams 1st and Young 3rd in the draft, so NFL officials saw it relatively similar to how we did.

      Points To Ponder…
      vs. Can a Muslim be a good American (or President) ? @ Some Things Just Need to be Said Can a good Muslim also be a good American? I forwarded that question to a friend of mine who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years. The following is his reply : In regard to your question, “Have you ever thought — Can a devout Muslim be an American patriot and a loyal citizen? Is Muslim American really an oxymoron? I want you to consider this: 1. Theologically, no. Because his allegiance is to Allah, the moon god of Arabia. 2. Religiously, no. Because no other religion is accepted by Allah except Islam (Quran, 2:256). 3. Scripturally, no. Because his allegiance is to the five pillars of Islam and the Quran (Koran). 4. Geographically, no. Because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day. 5. Socially, no. Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews. Points 6 - 11 here Will the phrase “American as apple pie̶

      Something to Ponder On.
      If your father is a poor man,it is your fate but,if your father-in-law is a poor man,it's your stupidity. Practice makes perfect.....But nobody's perfect......so why practice? If it's true that we are here to help others,then what exactly are the others here for? Since light travels faster than sound,people appear bright until you hear them speak. How come "abbreviated" is such a long word? Behind every successful man, there is a womanAnd behind every unsuccessful man, there are two. Every man should marry.After all, happiness is not the only thing in life. The wise never marry,and when they marry they become otherwise. Success is a relative term.It brings so many relatives. Never put off the work till tomorrow what you can put off today. " Your future depends on your dreams"So go to sleep " Hard work never killed anybody"But why take the risk The more you learn, the more you know,The more you know, the more you forgetThe more you forget

      The easiest thing in the world is to be you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position. -~~Leo BuscagliaWe need not be afraid to touch, to feel, to show emotion. The easiest thing in the world is to be what you are, what you feel. The hardest thing to be is what other people want you to be. ~~Leo Buscaglia

      Something to ponder
      Are you the same person you were as a child?What I mean is: if you look at a photograph of yourself when you were 5-years-old and a photograph of yourself now today, would you say they are photos of the same person or are they photos of two different people?The answer seems like it might be quite obvious but on the other hand not.Technorati tags: philosophy, logic, existentialism, question

      Something to ponder...
      Just something to sum up what's been going on recently, with four A Level subjects to study and all the coursework associated with them as well, Universities to look around and apply for and job and gap year applications to fill in everything's got a bit confusing lately and some light relief is much needed. Maybe even a picture of "a bunny with a pancake on its head!!!" I suppose the lack of paddling, which usually provides me with the light relief, has added to all the confusion.Planned return to the wet stuff: Friday at the swimming pool with the last session of the three week beginners course I've been running and organising (this isn't really proper paddling) and hopefully, Sunday if there is enough water in the Rothay to bimble on down it.Good lines, stay safe and see you on the wet stuff...Iainwitha{text-decoration:none} -->

      Questions to Ponder about Viagra
      If a man overdoses on Viagra, how do they get the casket lid shut? If the insurance companies are going to set guidelines before approving Viagra coverage, what are they going to use? A growth chart? I dropped a Viagra in a jar of small sweet pickles last night and this morning had a jar full of big Kosher dills. I would only take
