VAGABOND's HOUSE -Poem- (shortened) West of the sunset stands a house, there... and east of the dawn; North to the Arctic runs my yard; South to the Pole, my lawn; Seven seas are to sail my ships. To the end of the earth ... beyond. Drifters' gold is for me to spend for I am a vagabond. Fabulous cities are mine to loot. Queens of the earth to wed; fruits of the world are mine to eat; the couch of the king, my bed. All that I see is mine to keep. Foolish, the fancy seems. But I am rich with the world of Sight. The coin of the realm of dreams. When I have a house..as I sometime may ... I'll suit my fancy in every way. I'll fill it with things that have caught my eye in drifting from Iceland to Molakai. It won't be correct or in period style. But ... oh, I've thought for a long, long while. - Don Blanding GOLD  - Poem- My treasure chest is filled with gold. Gold . . . gold . . . gold . . .

‘Terrorist’ attack on Suez Canal ship fails

Egyptian authorities have reported a failed attack on a container ship in the strategically crucial Suez Canal. It comes as the security situation in the North Sinai region becomes increasingly precarious.

The head of the Suez Canal Authority, Admiral Mohab Mamish, confirmed that an attempted attack had been made on a Panama-flagged ship on the Canal on Saturday, but said the attempt failed.

"One of the terrorist elements has carried out a failed attempt to affect the movement of ships in the Suez Canal by targeting one of the passing ships, Cosco Asia," he said in a statement.

"The attempt failed completely and there was no damage to the ship or the containers it carried," the statement went on, adding that the armed forces had dealt "strictly" with the situation and that navigation of the waterway had continued virtually uninterrupted.

The statement did not say what the nature of the attack was, but some sources have spoken of hearing explosions at the time it occurred.

Nearly 200 kilometers (125 miles) of the Suez Canal provides a vital link between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean and is secured by Egyptian armed forces. Mamish said they had been ordered to step up their security measures along the waterway following Saturday's attempted attack.

Lawless region

Egypt has seen a string of militant attacks in the already lawless North Sinai region around the canal after the army ousted the country's first elected Islamist President Mohammed Morsi on July 3. The army recently launched a major operation in the area to combat several Islamist militant groups that operate there.

On Saturday, the military reportedly arrested a top Sinai militant, Adel Mohammed, also known as Adel Habara, in the regional capital al-Arish. The official Mena news agency said other "terrorists" were arrested along with him.

Habara has already been sentenced to death in absentia for killing soldiers in the Nile Delta last year, and is also suspected of leading an ambush last week in which 25 off-duty policemen were lined up and shot dead.

More than two dozen security men have been killed alone since July in the North Sinai region.

"Come Away With Me" -Song-

"Come away with in the night

Come away with me

And I will sing you a song

Come away with me on a bus

Come away where they can't tempt us 

With there lies

I want to walk with you 

On a cloudy day

In fields where the yellow grass grows

Knee-high

So won't you try to come

Come away with me and we'll kiss

On a mountain top

Come away with me

And I'll never stop loving you

And I want to wake up with the rain

Falling on a tin roof

While I'm safe there in your arms

So all I ask is for you

To come away with me in the night

Come away with me."  - Norah Jones

"I do believe in magic. I was born and raised in a magic time, in a magic town, among magicians. When I was twelve, the words was my magic lantern, and by its green spirit glow I saw the past, the present, and into the future. We all start out knowing magic. We are born with whirlwinds, forest fires, and comets inside us. We are born able to sing to birds and read the clouds and see out destiny in grains of sand. But then we get the magic educated right out of our souls. We get it churched out, spanked out, washed out, and combed out. We get put in the straight and narrow and told to be responsible. Told to act our age. Told to grow up, for Gods sake. And you know why were told that? Because the people doing the telling were afraid of our wilderness and youth, and because the magic we knew made them ashamed and sad at what they allowed to whither in themselves. After you get so far away fro it, though, you cant really get it back. You can have seconds of it. Just seconds of knowing and remembering. When people get all weepy at movies, its because in that dark theatre, the golden pool of magic is touched, just briefly. Then they come out into the hard sun of logic and reason again and it dries up, and theyre left feeling a little heartsad and not knowing why. For the briefest of instants, you have stepped into the magic realm. The truth of life is that every year we get farther away from the essence that is born within us. We get shouldered with burdens, some of them good, some of them not so good. Things happen to us. Loved ones die. People get in wrecks, and get crippled. Its not hard to do, in this world of crazy mazes. Life itself does its best to take that memory of magic away from us. You dont know its happening until one day you feel like youve lost something, but youre not sure what it is."  -Robert McCammon

They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo.You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them, because they change things. They push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, and are the ones who'll do it." -  Apple Computer TV Ad
