What are you waiting for?
You're a shining star, an ever lasting light,
The fire in the forest burning wild and bright,
You're an angel flying high and free,
You're a beautiful spirit to whom only I can see,
Your mind is as deep as the ocean floor,
Full of life to which I adore,
I would love to swim deep within your mind,
And explore the secrets that I may find,
Your face holds the beauty of a rare black pearl,
You're a heavenly creature, one hell of a girl,
Your lips are as sweet as grapes on the vine,
Mellow to the taste, as an expensive wine,
Your heart is as a lock and bolt on a door,
To which I and only I have the key for,
So when you're down and lonely and need a close friend,
Just call on me and I shall let myself in,
You're a bird of paradise, a fish in the sea,
You're a dream within a dream, you're everything to me,
You're a Goddess floating in the heavens above,
You're my girl, my woman, My Lady Love.
little beloved, the poet says
dear great soul, I say
plant of your distant island
fruit of pain and fragility
immortal flower in my memory
my heart is bleeding
by your thorns
by the fragments of your mirror
pounding heart
loving heart
until I turn into dust
little beloved, the poet says
dear great soul, I say
I have lost you
I have kept the longing
One last kiss no more tears to shed
I think about this
While watching you leave my bed
No more nights of long awaited passion
No more searching for
The latest lingerie fashions
No more nights of crying and pain
Not ever will I feel the same
No longer will I live a lie
No more wondering whose
The latest spy
No more creeping in the midnight hour
No more love making in the hot steamy shower
From now on I will be walking alone
No longer will my house
Be considered our happy home
SEATTLE -- Former attorney and TV host Nancy Grace calls the murder acquittal of Amanda Knox a “huge miscarriage of justice.”
Grace made her comments to Access Hollywood following Monday night’s “Dancing with the Stars,” on which she is competing.
“I believe that while Amanda Knox did not wield the knife herself, I think that she was there, with her boyfriend, and that he did the deed, and that she egged him on. That’s what I think happened,” said Grace.
Knox claims she was not there the night of Meredith Kercher's murder in Perugia, Italy in 2007.
Grace went on to say she doesn’t blame people for wanting to believe Knox is innocent, but she claims to have more information about the case than most.
“I’d like to believe it too, I just happen to know the facts,” Grace said.
She added that she would not pay to get an interview with Knox.
One of the more recognizable pies of the United States, New York-style pizza is characterized by a puffy outer crust that gets thinner and crispier toward the middle. Tricks of the trade include hand-tossed dough and cooking the pizza on a stone rather than in a pan. And as any New Yorker will tell you, there's another key element to the Big Apple's slices -- the city's delectable tap water. Who is to say whether the water's importance is myth or actual method (The editors of the foodie blog Serious Eats even conducted a considerably comprehensive but ultimately unsatisfactory study)? Eddie & Sam's pizzeria in Tampa, Fla. seems to think so: The owners proudly boast to importing New York tap water for the making of their dough.
Where to Taste: The hands-down favorite for New York parlors is Lombardi's Pizzeria, located in NoHo. Considered the first pizza parlor in the United States, Lombardi's also gets a shout-out from travelers for using fresh ingredients. Just come ready to chow down -- this pizzeria doesn't sell by the slice.
There's a reason the city of Naples earns the first slot on our list. It's because the Neapolitan pizza is the most enduring recipe the world over, and recipes originated in other cities are often just variations on Napoli's theme. And considering there's even an organization devoted to the upholding the authenticity of the dish -- the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana -- it's evident that this city takes dough-making and cheese-melting seriously. The wheat flour dough of a true pizza napoletana is kneaded into a pancake shape that shouldn't exceed 11 inches across, before it's smothered in fresh buffalo mozzarella, basil and San Marzano tomatoes. It's then cooked in a wood-fired dome oven at approximately 900 degrees Fahrenheit for no more than a minute and a half.
Where to Taste: Serious foodies disagree on where you'll find Naples' best pizzas, but there are a few favorites: Located on the city's Via Sersale, Antica Pizzeria da Michele is one of the more popular spots -- as evidenced by the long lines (and its cameo appearance in the movie Eat, Pray, Love). There's also Pizzeria Brandi, oftentimes credited as the place that first served pizza margherita.
Editorial Comment!
A recent documentary in late March, 2009 on the History Channel noted that nearly
all of these containers are shipped back to China, EMPTY.
Yep, that's right.
We send nothing back on most of these ships. What does that tell you about the current financial state of this country?
And is YOUR PLan to Just keep buying those imported goods
(mostly gadgets)
until you run out of money??????
Then you wonder what the cause of unemployment
(maybe even your job)
in the U.S. and Canada might be????
THINK MAYBE WE SHOULD BE BUYING FROM OUR OWN PEOPLE?
Or maybe we should give tax breaks to stimulate American manufacturing so we can EXPORT lots of stuff to the rest of the world and balance our trade deficit better???
Beautiful ship -- model of efficiency.
What a ship.....no wonder 'Made in China ' is
displacing North American made goods big time.
This monster transports goods across the Pacific in about 5 days!!!
This is how Wal-Mart gets it's stuff from China . 15,000 containers and a 207' deck beam!
The crew-size: 13 people on a ship longer than a US aircraft carrier (which has a crew of 5,000).
Notice that 207' beam means it cannot fit through the Panama or Suez Canals.
It is strictly transpacific. Cruise speed: 31 knots.
The goods arrive 4 days before the typical container ship (18-20 knots) on a China-to-California run. So this behemoth is hugely competitive when carrying perishable goods.
The ship was built in five sections. The sections floated together and then welded.
The command bridge is higher than a 10-story building and has 11 cargo crane rigs that can operate simultaneously.
Additional info:
Country of origin - Denmark
Length - 1,302 ft
Width - 207 ft
Net cargo - 123,200 tons
Engine - 14 cylinders in-line diesel engine (110,000 BHP)
Cruise Speed - 31 knots
Cargo capacity - 15,000 TEU (1 TEU = 20 cubic feet)
Crew - 13 people !
First Trip - Sept. 08, 2006
Construction cost - US $145,000,000+
Silicone painting applied to the ship bottom reduces water
resistance and saves 317,000 gallons of diesel per year.
