"Shattered Sunlight"








Shattered sunlight pierces





The silent orchard,





Merrily spreading the dawn





Across velvet gardens,





Wan in the paleness of night,





Until daybreak sings





Into the gales, cheerfully





Bidding adieu to the





Moon as it strides toward its bed





Of daylight, vanishing





Beneath faraway ridges and seas.





Morning Glories ascend





Into the sky, resurrected by the dew,





Unfolding their illustrious





Golden cities to bathe in sunbeams,





While the encircling lilacs





Batter their jewel-like eyes





To the distance, winking





To a golden-haired sun as it mounts





The steps to day.

Who wrote this poem? What do you think of it?
Don't know who wrote it, but I like it, and I don't often like poems the first time I read them, except limericks and such "light" stuff. But the imagery is powerful; I like it.





Did you write it?
Reply:I like the poem, though it could be cut down alittle, it seems to loose the interest as you go along.
Reply:Hmm..not bad. I don't know who wrote it but I'll bet it was the writer of the question! There's some talent there, I think; it evokes some nice mental imagery, but is a tad long-winded, and offers too many different scenes. (Like: is it a silent orchard, or velvet gardens?)


it should be slimmed-down a bit, and should try to stick to one primary image, rather than attempting to embrace so many unrelated ones. The last line was a nice wrap-up though. I give it an 'A' for effort, a 'B-" for coherency.
Reply:I don`t know who has written this poem, but the poem is boring.
Reply:Gawddddddddddddddddddddd. I HATE poetry. It is a waste of letters and space. Its like blah, blah, blah, yadda, yadda, yadda. The End...................

Villa or hotel?

I am planning to go to Orlando this year with my brother, but am not sure where to stay, either a hotel or a villa. I have found some well priced villas in the area which would probably end up being just as cheap as hotels and I could have my own pool which is an added bonus!





The main factor though is the location. I would like to have a villa but some aren't in a very central location unlike the hotels. The closest villas I can see are in the Indian Wells, Indian Ridge Oaks, Rolling Hills, Formosa Gardens and the Windsor Hills resorts. Would this be a good location for all of the parks compared to hotels in I-Drive and Lake Beuna Vista?

Villa or hotel?
Ive just booked to go to Florida in April, there will be 6 of us and we are staying in Kissimmee in Orlando in a 4 bedroom villa. There were loads available in Kissimmee which is dead close to all the attractions. I would say a villa is definately best, much more private and personal and like you said your own pool.





Try this website they seem to have loads.

Reply:As a long-time Florida resident who regularly makes trips to the Orlando area, I highly recommend Sheraton's Vistana resort. They rent 1- and 2-bedroom villas with full kitchens and really are an excellent value. The whole resort is gorgeous, and it's a stone's-throw from Disney (literally, you could be on Disney property in less than 5 minutes). I've stayed there repeatedly, and I've never been disappointed.
Reply:I have been to Florida in 03,04,and05 and in those three times I have stayed in a villa.If you have ten or more people staying in the house you will come out cheaper than staying at a hotel plus if you are flying you can get a group rate on just about any airline. The last villa that we rented for a two week stay cost 1,600 and it was real close to disney. The area is called Clearmont and the web site is called orlandodreamvacation.net if you do book this villa tell Carlos and Joy that the Norwood family recommend you. By the way he has the best rates than any one else.We are planning to go again. And if you need discount tickets to the parks go to the web site orlandosavers.com.By the way he has two different villas.
Reply:Hotel... you're on vacation.
Reply:Kissimee (not sure spelt right has villas and it's a bit nearer.) International drive is a very good location with all attractions to hand.





Marriot, where we stayed has good security in and around the grounds. (International Dr)





Wherever you stay, you'll have a ball!
Reply:Go to the VIlla. THe comforts of home and you can cook if you want which will help in saving some money.
Reply:there's no better choice http://www.bargainvilla.org
Reply:If you decide on a villa you are gunna need to hire a car regardless of the distance. I would go for the villa, we did it in 2003 and it was wonderful. We have done hotels previous to that they are ok too, all the cleaning is done for you and you are in the middle of it. With villas you are a captive audience for super markets etc and all the essentials you will need seem highly priced. I hope you have a good time whatever you decide. x
Reply:Villa without question.........we have been to the area many times and always had a villa but we have heard many horror stories of folk staying in hotels. A villa gives freedom and you have your own pool....if you can afford it have the pool heated it makes all the difference. We are going in April (best time to go) perhaps we will see you there.

What do you think of this 5-color sliver deck?
If you are going to make a five color sliver deck, you have to put in Gemhide Slivers. It's the color fixer for slivers. Put more Crystalline slivers in. 1 is not enough. You could probably do with out All Suns' Dawn. I would replace it with Patriarch's Bidding or Living Death.
Reply:steve's right about the gemhide sliver. also i would do without the city of brass. pain lands bad. Horned sliver (trample) goes well with the muscles and unless they have to be slivers check and see if any changelings have powers you like since changelings are slivers, clerics, elves etc.....

Need help finding info?

I have been trying for days to get any info I can find on my Grandmother, the only bit I have found is her social. I can't even find her Obituary. There is no option for contacting family, so Im on my own.


I don't even know her maiden name, something Im very curious to find out about now.


Can anyone help me out here, I can give you all the info I have.





Name: Harriet Thompson


Birthplace: I think WV, but Social says issue state is DC


Birth Date: May 22, 1923


Death: May 1984


Place of Death: WV


Social: 578-48-1595


Husband: Samuel Dallas Thompson (still living)


Children: Clara Holt Baltimore MD, Samuel Thompson VA, Fred Thompson Owens MD, Gail Rosenthal Chicago IL


She is buried in Blue Ridge Memorial Gardens in WV





The only bit of info I think I might have is on her possible sister. Her name was Mamie Mullins Oxley, she died in 1997, I was able to find her obit and her husband, but it had no helpful info as far as my grandmother.





Thanks for any help.

Need help finding info?
Some people didn't get obituaries; I look them up for people who post on the GenForum page for Stanislaus County, and I only find 4 out of 5.





Your grandmother's SSN Application would tell you her mother and father (mother's maiden name), her birthplace and birth date, her address and employer at the time she applied. It is $27 though. If you are interested, look her up on





http://ssdi.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-b...





and click on "SS-5". Print off the letter, send it in with your check. It takes 6 - 8 weeks after you send it in. If she was born in WV but her SSN was issued in DC, it sounds like she went to work for the Feds; that or she and her husband moved to DC for some other reason.





A less sure but cheaper route - send the cemetery a stamped, self-addressed envelope, a small donation for the staff donut fund and a request for genealogical data. Sometimes they have things like maiden name of the deceased, birth place, spouse (you don't need that in this case, obviously.)

Help me identify this plant - pictures online?

I made the mistake of direct planting mixed "perennial garden" and "daisy garden" seed packs in an area that I cleared out this winter. (in the future I will start mixed seeds in a controlled environment, for the sake of seedling identification) Most weeds (I think) I have been able to identify, and I am faithfully watering and caring for the remaining plants. However, there is one that I am afraid may be a weed, it's growing fairly large, right now it's about 24". The stem has narrow vertical 'ridges' on it. The leaves are fairly large, and it's just gotten small white flowers. If anyone can help identify this plant, I'd appreciate it!

I believe it is a weed too.
