I do in the dew
what others cannot see
That place of windless Aire
existing in every tree
This is not physical
but a relation of mind
to live in the system
with no worry of time
bound in the will
choices i have made
give me the option
to lie in the shade
pick a leaf or a shave of the bark
I see the same story;
That trees can hold
Larks.

The answers lie
Within our minds
Using logistical, semantical reason
Will chase IT from where it hides
Wars cannot stop it
Death will encourage it
For from the ruins
Come flowers
From the flowers
Begins the True Circle

NOPE. I don’t believe in either one… They both use religion to control and oppress people.

I’ve been promising my daughter, Kali to make a site for her business. I’m currently in process of writing a small application to for employees to calculate what size box to use for shipping. It will first determine if an in-stock box is needed or if they need to make a box — and what size does it need to be.
Kali says that while it’s not complicated to teach someone how to calculate this, the employee turn-over is high in her business and they don’t use this skill very often. Many times, this task is left to her or she is training and re-training on the subject.
We have a testing site at http://shippingstore.wordpress.com – it’s not much now… but I’m workin’ on it!

Elgin Club Tries to Tune In MTV
Courier News Reporting
ELGIN– Downtown Elgin could be getting its MTV.
Producers from the music television network say they will film a pilot show at The Mission nightclub, 209 E. Chicago St., this summer.
Well, they might, said The Mission General Manager Geoff Sands. Shows often fall through, he pointed out.
“We did everything on our end to make it happen,” Sands said.
“It’s a TV show, but I can’t say what it’s about,” he added, because he’s been sworn to secrecy.
The Mission, a popular dance club that is open Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights, is owned by Dave Shelton, a well- known name in the business. Sands suggested that his boss’ experience as a longtime club owner may be the impetus for the MTV show.
“It’s because of him,” he said.
The taping had been scheduled to happen by the end of the month, but production now has been pushed back to later this summer, Sands said.
“They haven’t set a new date yet,” he said.
The proposed pilot program is on the city council’s agenda. Council members will consider amending the city’s liquor code to create a “Limited-duration Class R video production permit.”
The amendment is necessary because underage youths and those old enough to drink will be “mixed together” during the taping, City Manager Olufemi Folarin said.
The club’s configuration allows for alcohol to be served on one floor and for underage party-goers to gather on a separate, non-alcoholic floor.
The producers wish to combine the two groups of people “to ensure the nightclub is well populated with patrons for the filming,” according to a city hall memo.
Admission to the taping will be by invitation only, restricted to people 17 and older.
The permit will expire 30 days after issue, Folarin said. So, if the council approves the permit tonight, The Mission will not have to obtain the permit until shortly before the taping, he said, but merely renew it.

My Daughter Kali is coming on Wednesday night. She and Kenny’s son, Ian will make a Thanksgiving Dinner! This should be really cute because Ian doesn’t know how to cook at all and Kali will have to tell him every little thing that needs to be done. So, we are looking forward to spending time with both of them and we will really enjoy the laughter that will no doubt be caused by Ian’s antics in the kitchen! Yup. We’re gonna have a great time!

Man, he even slams our Canadian friends! George W. Bush is a hater of all people who are not like him; a hypocritical christian who wants to control everyone else but himself. What a terrible leader. I’m glad we have a democratic majority in Congress again, but fixing all the damage this man has created will take a very long time. Below is a quote I found by Mr. ‘Dubya’:
When a drug comes in from Canada, I wanna make sure it cures ya, not kill ya… I’ve got an obligation to make sure our government does everything we can to protect you. And one — my worry is that it looks like it’s from Canada, and it might be from a third world.
