A COOL SENSE OF TRANQUILITY CALMS MY TROUBLED SPIRIT.

I emerge slowly from a deeply entrenched nightmare and proceed into quiet wakefulness and gentle reverie. I peer out my window. Youthful ideals, embodied in vaporous form on the street below, are a black reminiscence of former hopes and desires that have fallen off me like a worn suit of clothes. I shut out the insistent voices that beg me return to comfortable and safe imprisonment of heart, mind, soul.

I leave my room and go outside. I see but darkly my amorphous shadow -- it is a phantom, not the real me. From behind scudding clouds emerges an awakened moon that illumes my way and shows inner turmoil in a light that is new.

A shadow of the risen dead, cast upon the asphalt by a gracious moon, shall be my companion . . .

Jehovah's Witnesses post 'anti-gay' 'Harness Your Habits' leaflet in North Devon

by OrphanCrow in

jehovah's witnesses post 'anti-gay' 'harness your habits' leaflet in north devon.

devon and cornwall police have said a leaflet posted through doors in north devon isn't a crime – despite it advising gay people to "control their urges".the leaflet, entitled "how to harness your habits", was distributed in north devon by jehovah's witnesses and contains an article asking "what does the bible say about homosexuality?

"in it, the religious group states that "rejecting homosexuality" is completely different to "rejecting people of a different skin colour" and says their views are the same as people who "view smoking as harmful and even repugnant".it also compares gay people to animals, but says "unlike animals, they can choose not to act on their impulses".the journal was contacted by a reader, who wishes to remain anonymous, who felt "belittled" by the leaflet.

DNS Issue (Problem Accessing Site)

by Simon in

if anyone had any issues accessing the site over the last 24 hours or so, i finally tracked it down to a dns issue that was affecting users of google dns in certain zones.

the issue was caused by a rouge dnssec entry left by the registrar (godaddy) when they did an update which caused some dns lookups to fail.. hopefully it should be fixed now but may take a while to ripple through to everyone due to caching..

Thanks, Simon, for figuring this out.

Just now able to access, Northern California. I don't understand the terminology, but I can Google it.

SLEEP SHALL COME, perhaps not today,
But soon, an eternal, blessed slumber

That bids farewell to suffering that even
True love, in no measure, can assuage.

Why such anguish, borne upon once broad
Shoulders that now do sag, no longer able

To withstand the weight of both our worlds?
Come, O Sleep, on velvet wings of night.
