My loves, poetic thought by George-B
©(the smudge and other poems)

My love for stars
showed me how to search for
early morning dew,
between the petals of roses
and the dew under the soles of the shoes,
every step I take
among watery egg shaped diamonds,

an engagement,
a promise,
a four leaf clover – for luck – as well.

My love for birds
showed me how to listen to their thrills,
and try to imitate,
the lark,
the mocking bird,
the hummingbird,
The rave, the vulture and the duck…

My love for life
showed me how every present moment is
infinitely more viable than,
Many millions passed,
and the one coming next I wish I am around for.

Just a thought:

“Science fiction is the playground of imagination and imagination is the playground of dreams. So if you have the imagination to dream about something…well you may found out that it reality in part or in totality. Just give it time, and as time is limited, open your mind to ideas that may seem new, but at the heart,  idealized and dressed into the costume of fiction, hold fundamental truths about the human condition, society, way of life and actual events that shaped the word, and keep it moving, into the direction prescribed. There is as much intention of reality in Fringe, as in any real action documentary: just use your imagination to find those fundamental truths!” — George-B

THIS PRESSED for your right to know: Homeland Security braces for flood of immigrants seeking work permits|The Truth23.com

WASHINGTON — The Homeland Security Department appears to be preparing for an increase in the number of immigrants applying for work permits after President Barack Obama announces his long-promised plans for executive actions on immigration reform later this year.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services confirmed to The Associated Press that it has published a draft contract proposal to buy the card stock needed to make work permits and Permanent Resident Cards, more commonly known as green cards. The proposal calls for providing material for at least 5 million cards a year, with as many as 9 million “during the initial period … to support possible future immigration reform initiative requirements.” The contract calls for as many 34 million cards over five years.

USCIS, the Homeland Security agency that oversees immigration benefits, produces about 3 million work permits and Green Cards annually, so the new contract would at least provide the Obama administration with the flexibility to issue far more work permits or green cards even if it chose not to exercise that option.

USCIS spokesman Christopher Bentley described the proposal posted earlier this month a routine contract solicitation.

“Solicitations of this nature are frequent practice,” Bentley said. He said the number of immigration applications can rise “for any number of any reasons.”

The contract proposal was first reported by the online news site Breitbart.com.

Obama said earlier this year that he would act on his own if Congress failed to pass immigration legislation. He has twice delayed making any changes, saying as recently as last month that he would hold off on executive actions until after November’s midterm elections.

unfortunately Streit bakery moved 60 miles away! So many older people are left to buy unfit (yet the only one closer to the real stuff! and only at Ralph: the rest of the groceries have nada (or zilch)

Not that the name “Forest Hills” isn’t sensitive enough (most our cemeteries around here are called, yes Forest Hills! But just reading the ingredients on this label makes you may ask both AmDiabetes Assoc and the FDA why don’t they have a real program for managing diabetes, in addition to charts an recognition of an existing problem, and then transferring the full responsibility on the sufferer? Start with recommending the food industry make  dark rye bread with unbleached, enriched wheat four, and dark rye floor: here is an example of what a bread label should read for diabetes sufferers.

I wonder (no not like in Wonder bread (that makes one wonder) what will these great autocracies Am Diabetes and FDA will have to say about the realities they don’t talk about or address (take smoking for instance as inspiration: demand food industry to redesign bread to its original intended purpose Food not Feed! (Because we’re humans not animals). Help change the culture, so it is healthier for everyone! That may include even some of your employees: you’re no going to tell me that nobody in your great companies are diabetes free!
