There goes my heart beating
Because you are the reason
I'm losing my sleep
Please come back now
There goes my mind racing
And you are the reason
That I'm still breathing
I'm hopeless now
I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Oh, because I need you to see
That you are the reason
There goes my hands shaking
Because you are the reason
My heart keeps bleeding
And I need you now
If I could turn back the clock
I'd make sure the light defeated the dark
I'd spend every hour, of every day
Keeping you safe
I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Oh, because I need you to see
That you are the reason
You are the reason
Yeah, yeah...
I'd climb every mountain.
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Oh, because I need you to see

determination against the rain giving it all they have in the homestretch is what it takes to be a winner with the best time.
Finding things to decorate a gym can be difficult.
Most of the things on Marketplace are old and sculpty... not very well textured.
Luckily BackBone has our backs with their new Industrial Locker Set.
Great adult and pg animations as well as amazingly textured... and did I mention low prim.
Backbone has knocked it out of the park with this collection. So if you are looking to build a gym for your house or rp sim... or just in need of a great bench or lockers check out BackBone at Man Cave today.

Taken at Lana (Now Closed)
"I'm tired..." She said, sliding down on the ground, hovering over to rest, her hair cascading down over her face.
A wet nose poked her forehead till she felt warm furs caressing her chest. Her arms wrapped around tight, face pressing into the softness and comfort. A sigh of relief escaped her lips.
"What benefit does fighting bring you anyway?" The lone one asked.
She took a moment to think of that question. "Validation? Answers? Truths?" She shrugged her shoulders. "Justice..." she whispered.
"And when you win, is it worth it?"
"Sometimes..." she admitted. "Other times I just accept...defeat."

After his defeat at Waterloo Napoleon was exiled to Saint Helena. He arrived on the island October 15, 1815 and died there on May 5, 1821. Due to its extreme isolation Saint Helena is in a time warp, and a fascinating place to visit even aside from Napoleon.
Après sa défaite de Waterloo Napoléon fut exilé à Sainte Hélène. Il y arriva le 15 Octobre 1815, et y décéda le 5 Mai 1821. A cause de son isolation extrême, l'île est véritablement hors du temps et passionnante à visiter même hors Napoléon.

Remember those gourds and pumpkins I was drying out to use as bird houses this spring? Well the squirrels decided they would better serve as fall food! The large pumpkin was totally gutted! They destroyed 3 pumpkins and 5 gourds. Next year I'll dry them (the gourds not the squirrels) in the basement!

There are days when you can't help but feel defeated. It creeps up on us leaving a chill that won't go away. It is hard to see the light beyond. Our focus is blurred. We start paying attention to the lies of other voices. Yet, the truth is that the defeat was only a small battle We have already won the war! "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Is. 41:10
Dear Tess,
Thank you for selecting this image as the cover for your wonderful group. It is truly an honor that you chose to do so. Ulf was a fearless Waheela Warrior who deeply loved his family and his homeland. He dared to call out the clown knights for their greed and cunning, and accepted a single combat challenge with a monstrous warlock in their service. Ulf fought honorably, but he was defeated. He died by a sword and with a sword in his hand before many witnesses, having fought against the abuse and exploitation of empathy and compassion in SL.
Who like you could be so free,
with that slow and calm freedom
with which you are forming!
You remain, but you are renewed,
you are well rooted, but you grow,
and you conquer the sky without defeat,
owner of your beginning and your ends.

He boarded the subway train from the right and collapsed in the seat, burying his head in his hand. Something went wrong. Seriously wrong. What happened?
So I think I have finally defeated the flea bags (squirrels) as I never saw a one at the feeders yesterday (there are four all together). And it was amazing how many more birds showed up to feed! I have two squirrel proof feeders and the suet cage and then I scatter some seeds on the ground as lots of the birds like to eat there. Cardinals do both but seem to prefer the ground. The Squirrels would come and gobble all the ground seeds up and then to the top of the pole to eat the suet. What did I do? I bought a big bottle of Cayenne pepper! I rubbed it on the suet and mixed it with the ground seeds. My ground is now red with the stuff but the squirrels... ha! They seem to have taken themselves off back into the woods to eat their natural foods. :) I hope I never see one again and if I do, I will be sure to greet it with lots of the hot stuff! I may sound mean to some, but the bird seed has gone beyond expensive and I buy it for birds not squirrels. And seriously, there is plenty of their natural foods around the area. There were four of the male cardinals yesterday. :)
Not too happy with how this turned out but what did I expect from a quick build and mismatched fugue parts? Oh well I suppose it isn't too bad

This is one of the many statues at the UN complex in NY, many cannot be seen now with the grounds close doff or re-arranged for the renovations ongoing to the main building
Good Defeats Evil is a sculpture that combines traditional-style bronze work with a more contemporary material--American and Soviet missles. "Good" is represented by a depiction of St. George, who is astride a rearing horse. In his right hand he holds an enormous spear, with which he is slaying a writhing dragon, representing "Evil." The dragon lifts his head with one last attempt at resurgence, but it is clear that this is the dragon's last breath: the dragon's body, which is made of an American Pershing II missile and a Soviet SS20 missile, has been torn apart by St. George's spear."

Finally, victory from the jaws of defeat, Owner tracked down a pride of seven lions laying in the grass beneath a copse of trees on a small hill. You can see four of the lions in this shot. Below, an extract from this morning's Journal:
After our break we drove in silence until we came to a small hill beside the road, it was covered in trees, and lions. Owner drove around the hill and told us about the 7 lions in that pride. Owner knew the life history of every animal, it was fascinating to learn about them and their individual histories.
As photo opportunities go, this was not a good find. The lions were concealed in the long grass and they were difficult to see, but Mary was thrilled. This is what she had come to Africa to see, and now Owner was her hero, even if he didn’t speak American. At lunch Mary told anybody who would listen that she had seen at least 20 lions. Joe said nothing.
After lunch I left Kanana along with several other guests. Among them were Bob and Bonkers, who arrived with me. I'd avoided them until now, but as we waited for our transfer to the airstrip Bonkers showed me some of her outstanding photo; she was an accomplished photographer. She declared everybody should come to Africa, because she'd learned so much in just a few days. It's true, she'd really blossomed and I was happy for her. Bob still struck me as a dummy.
Packed into a tiny aircraft, we made two short hops to dusty isolated airstrips where passengers got off or on. At the second stop I transferred to a second plane for a short hop to Okuti, I was their only passenger. I was met at the airstrip and whisked away to a rendezvous with my new guide, Chachos, who was conducting an afternoon game drive in the Moremi Game Reserve.
This was quite a culture shock, first the roads are incredibly rough, and secondly we are sharing with vehicles from different lodges, along with private vehicles.
Chachos had found a leopard in the morning, and was keen to show me the animal. When we arrived at the spot, about a dozen vehicles were gathered around and it was impossible to see the leopard which was in a tree. We waited and eventually Chachos got a spot and I had my photos.
Apart from the truly awful roads with potholes big enough to swallow a small car, this is a very different landscape from Kanana. It's more heavily wooded, there's much less ground water and many dry water courses. There are the same animals and much less sage bush. I found myself missing Owner with his vast knowledge and wonderfully dry sense of humour, but not the mosquitoes; those I can do without.
The accommodation here is even better than at Kanana. The rooms are on stilts and connected to the main building by an elevated walkway. I have a very spacious room built of thatch and brick, the roof is thatched. There is a large balcony with a comfortable seat, a table and chairs, and it all looks out over the Xudum River with papyrus reeds on the far bank. It's all very lovely.
Bexhill or Bexhill-on-Sea is a seaside town situated in the county of East Sussex in South East England. An ancient town and part of the local-government district of Rother, Bexhill is home to a number of archaeological sites, a Manor House in the Old Town, an abundance of Edwardian and Victorian architecture, and the famous De La Warr Pavilion: today a centre for contemporary art – which has featured the work of Andy Warhol, Cerith Wyn Evans and Richard Wilson amongst others – and an auditorium, where Bob Marley had his first UK appearance and has since seen performances by Elvis Costello, Goldfrapp, Ray Davies, Years & Years, Patti Smith and Laurie Anderson.
The first reference to Bexhill, or Bexelei as it was originally called, was in a charter granted by King Offa of Mercia in 772 AD. It is recorded that King Offa had 'defeated the men of Hastings' in 771 AD. At this time, the term Hastings would have referred to this whole area rather than the town itself as it does today. In the charter, King Offa established a church and religious community in Bexhill.
During the Norman Conquest of 1066 it appears that Bexhill was largely destroyed. The Domesday survey of 1086 records that the manor was worth £20 before the conquest, was 'waste' in 1066 and was worth £18 10s in 1086. King William I used the lands he had conquered to reward his knights and gave Bexhill manor to Robert, Count of Eu, with most of the Hastings area. Robert's grandson, John, Count of Eu, gave back the manor to the bishops of Chichester in 1148 and it is probable that the first manor house was built by the bishops at this time. The later manor house, the ruins of which can still be seen at the Manor Gardens in Bexhill Old Town, was built about 1250, probably on the instructions of St. Richard, Bishop of Chichester. St Richard's Catholic College, the local Catholic school, was duly for said bishop. The Manor House was the easternmost residence owned by the bishops and would have been used as a place to stay while travelling around or through the eastern part of their diocese. There were often disputes between the Bishops of Chichester and the Abbots of Battle Abbey, usually about land ownership in this area. In 1276 a large portion of Bexhill was made into a park for hunting and in 1447 Bishop Adam de Moleyns was given permission to fortify the Manor House.
In 1561 Queen Elizabeth I took possession of Bexhill Manor and three years later she gave it to Sir Thomas Sackville, Earl of Dorset. The Earls, later Dukes, of Dorset owned Bexhill until the mid 19th century. Their main residences were Buckhurst Place in Sussex and Knole House in Kent.
In 1804 soldiers of the King's German Legion were stationed in barracks at Bexhill. These troops were Hanoverians who had escaped when their country was overrun by Napoleon's French Army. As King George III was also the Elector of Hanover, he welcomed them and they fought as part of the British Army. At about this time, defensive Martello Towers were built along the south east coast, some near Bexhill, in order to repel any French invasion. In 1814 the soldiers of the King's German Legion left Bexhill, eventually playing an important part in the Battle of Waterloo the following year. The German troops had been here to protect Bexhill from the French. However, many of the local people were actively trading with the enemy by way of smuggling. The best known of the local smugglers were in the Little Common Gang and the most famous incident was the infamous Battle of Sidley Green in 1828.
In 1813 Elizabeth Sackville had married the 5th Earl De La Warr, and when the male line of the Dukes of Dorset died out in 1865 she and her husband inherited Bexhill.
It was the 7th Earl De La Warr who decided to transform the small rural village of Bexhill into an exclusive seaside resort. He contracted the builder, John Webb, to construct the first sea wall and to lay out De La Warr Parade. Webb, in part payment for his work, was given all the land extending from Sea Road to the Polegrove, south of the railway line. Opened in 1890, the luxurious Sackville Hotel was built for the 7th Earl De La Warr and originally included a house for the use of his family. In 1891 Viscount Cantelupe, his eldest surviving son, married Muriel Brassey, the daughter of Sir Thomas and the late Annie, Lady Brassey of Normanhurst Court near Bexhill. The Manor House was fully refurbished so that Lord and Lady Cantelupe could live in style as Lord and Lady of the Manor. Finally, the 7th Earl De La Warr transferred control of his Bexhill estate to Viscount Cantelupe. When the 7th Earl De La Warr died in 1896
Viscount Cantelupe became the 8th Earl De La Warr. At this time he organised the building on the sea front of the Kursaal, a pavilion for refined entertainment and relaxation. He also had a bicycle track made, with a cycle chalet, at the eastern end of De La Warr Parade. These amenities were provided to promote the new resort. Meanwhile, many independent schools were being attracted to the expanding town due to its health-giving reputation. The railway came through Bexhill in 1846, the first railway station being a small country halt situated roughly where Sainsbury's car park is today. This was some distance from the village on the hill. A new station, north of Devonshire Square, was opened in 1891 to serve the growing resort. In 1902 the current railway station was opened and a Bexhill West Station was built for the newly built Crowhurst Branch Line.
1902 was the year that Bexhill became an Incorporated Borough. This was the first Royal Charter granted by Edward VII. Bexhill was the last town in Sussex to be incorporated and it was the first time a Royal Charter was delivered by motorcar. To celebrate the town's newfound status and to promote the resort, the 8th Earl De La Warr organised the country's first ever motorcar races along De La Warr Parade in May 1902. The town was scandalised at this time by the divorce of Earl De La Warr.
Muriel had brought the action on the grounds of adultery and abandonment. She was granted a divorce and given custody of their three children. Muriel, with her children, Myra, Avice and Herbrand, went back to live with Earl Brassey at Normanhurst Court. The 8th Earl De La Warr remarried but was again divorced for adultery. He also suffered recurrent and well-publicised financial difficulties. At the start of the First World War in 1914 the Earl bought a Royal Naval commission. He died of fever at Messina in 1915.
Herbrand Edward Dundonald Brassey Sackville became the 9th Earl De La Warr. He is best known for championing the construction of the De La Warr Pavilion, which was built and opened in 1935. The 9th Earl also became Bexhill's first socialist mayor. He died in 1976.
The Second World War caused the evacuation of the schools and substantial bomb-damage to the town. Many schools returned to Bexhill after the war but there was a steady decline in the number of independent schools in the town. The break-up of the British Empire and in particular the Independence of India in 1947 hastened the process. Most of the schools were boarding and catered largely for the children of the armed forces overseas and of the colonial administration. Although the number of schools decreased, many of the parents and former pupils had fond memories of the town and later retired to Bexhill.

On Sunday evening, there was a fire in my neighborhood. Thankfully, there were no deaths or serious injuries (from what I've heard) but, sadly, someone's home was horrifically damaged.

After a crushing defeat at the battle of Khar Point, the Alliance realised they were in need of a new service arm. Thus, they developed the KR1, a 6.25mm carbine using a proprietary bolt system not entirely dissimilar to that used in the FN P90. While it has not been field tested yet, it shows extreme promise, scoring sub-inch groups at ranges up to three hundred meters.
