barbed wire

if one can stand, then one must rise to fullest height

if only kneel, then kneel erect in brave dignity;

if beaten to the ground by the despots cruel might

then lift your head to meet the crush of tyranny.

Gerry Gilligan • Tammy, that's a great use and application for a QR code. You can prepare your own name tag to wear at any event that includes your own QR code. If you are fashion conscious, and I assume you are, you can now create your own QR Code in living color. You can create a brand new business card for each event for free and the rainbow is your only limit. You can link to my Company website from my linked in profile page. Mobile Marketing Menu provides a FREE QR Code rainbow generator. It doesn't make a rainbow but you can use any color in the rainbow spectrum - or black, if that's the evening fashion. A single name tag can generate hundreds of business cards in the smart phones of colleagues and customers. Of course those smart phones will first need to download a free mobile app to read and translate the code. This may eventually put the business card printers out of business. Keep up the good work. people need to be freaked out to open their eyes and mind to the destination of our industry

21st Century Heroine Fights Addiction and Ghosts of Christmas Past

21st Century Heroine Fights Addiction and Ghosts of Christmas Past : This article and poem were inspired by a friend whom I have never met in person and yet we know each other well from our writings, poetry and email. Twenty years ago, we would never have met. And yet fate has thrown us together. I am richer for the experience and introduce you to my dear friend, Kimberly.

Energy Solutions

I wouldn't waste a stamp on snail mail to justify my Congressman's existence. The words of citizens fall on deaf ears in D.C.. Shale Gas is the salvation of America. The oil companies are investing and ramping up production. Our commercial fleets are converting to natural gas and the entire fleet will be transformed in seven years. America leads the world in this resource and it can now be produced without further delay. We can dump nuclear completely just like Germany - the only economically successful European country. We have a one hundred year supply of this shale gas and can set up our own OPEC and regulate export with an export duty to dig us out of debt. Leave the windmills to the Dutch.

The best sustainable energy for the future is hydroelectric power, just like with dams. However, the water power to harness is tidal movement which goes two ways and never stops. From coast to coast to coast, Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf, we can install new tidal engines and light this country up like BROADWAY. Get rid of the lobbyists who slow down progress. Regulate the Banks like in the days of savings and loan and hold them accountable to local depositors. God Bless America.

Ants Aint Just Insects but Model Social Communities for Homo Sapiens

Ants Aint Just Insects but Model Social Communities for Homo Sapiens : This is my newest Hub with a poem that I call"Underfoot"

Thursday, June 2, 2011

Without

I call but there's no anwer and I write without reply,

I look but cannot find you, my reach is always shy;

I long for lost embraces, sustained, secure, and sure,

and remnant spectral traces that may still endure;

Your smile was brilliant sunshine piercing thunderous cloud,

Your laughter, sweet succour, lifting gloom's maudlin shroud;

Your smell, fragrant musk, sentimental pheromone,

Your lush long locks within my fumbling fingers, now gone;

Centigrade risings from our loins, taut, intense, long missed,

Retrograde passion of our lips, locked wetly, deep kissed;

Lemonade bitter parting, sugar shared so sweetly,

Soothing strokes of silken skin, severed so neatly;

Love lost impales the soul upon the stake of desire,

Trove of heartfelt treasure, in flames, upon cruel pyre.

Rise

Knowing that you are in another realm and just about to rise,

My steady hand is at the helm to guide your waking eyes;

Pensively, I wait your day and all the joy it brings,

My ready heart is at the port in need of your supplies.

Apart in sleep can bare be borne,

without you, left forlorn;

Jumpstart my heart wth flickering lash,

from darkness yet be torn.

Ignite the dawn with an earthy yawn,

spare not the stretch of arms;

thrust out your breasts to my heaving chest,

crush me in your embrace.

Once day has dawned, I'm n'er alone,

again we share the sphere;

your hoarsened words sing comfort tones;

as my eyes shed their tear.
