…zuruck …
ich bin wegen dir hier
zum Gluck bleibt uns noch Zeit bis zur Ewigkeit, ein Stuck deines Daseins steckt in mir, und ich halt’ es so fest doch die Erinnerrung bringt mich um, weil es mich nicht los, bitte bleib’ bei mir, verzeih’ mir, lasse es dich nicht zuersten, wir kommen frei hier, wenn wir nur auf die Liebe schweren, es gibt sonst nichts auf dieser Welt was uns zusammen, ausser dern was du mir gibst wenn du mich liebst
The Shiba Inu (柴犬?) is the smallest of the six original and distinct breeds of dog from Japan. A small, agile dog that copes very well with mountainous terrain, the Shiba Inu was originally bred for hunting. It is similar in appearance to the Akita, though much smaller in stature. It is one of the few ancient dog breeds still in existence in the world today.
Shiba Inus are generally independent and intelligent dogs. Some owners struggle with obedience training, but as with many dogs, socialization at a young age can greatly affect temperament. Traits such as independence and intelligence are often associated with ancient dog breeds, such as the Shiba Inu. Shibas should always be on a leash, unless in a secured area, because of their strong prey drive.
A spirited boldness, a good nature, and an unaffected forthrightness, which together yield dignity and natural beauty. The Shiba has an independent nature and can be reserved toward strangers but is loyal and affectionate to those who earn his respect. They can be aggressive toward other dogs.
The terms “spirited boldness” (悍威 kan’i?), “good nature” (良性 ryōsei?), and “artlessness” (素朴 soboku?) have subtle interpretations that have been the subject of much commentary.
The Shiba is a fastidious breed and feels the need to maintain itself in a clean state. They can often be seen licking their paws and legs much like a cat. They generally go out of their way to keep their coats clean, yet thoroughly enjoy swimming and playing in puddles. Because of their fastidious and proud nature, Shiba puppies are easy to housebreak and in many cases will housebreak themselves. Having their owner simply place them outside after meal times and naps is generally enough to teach the Shiba the appropriate method of toileting.
A distinguishing characteristic of the breed is the so-called “shiba scream”. When sufficiently provoked or unhappy, the dog will produce a loud, high pitched scream. This can occur when attempting to handle the dog in a way that it deems unacceptable. The animal may also emit a very similar sound during periods of great joy, such as the return of the owner after an extended absence, or the arrival of a favored human guest.

Heuristic ( /hjʉˈrɪstɨk/; or heuristics; Greek: “Εὑρίσκω”, “find” or “discover”) refers to experience-based techniques for problem solving, learning, and discovery. Heuristic methods are used to speed up the process of finding a satisfactory solution, where an exhaustive search is impractical. Examples of this method include using a “rule of thumb”, an educated guess, an intuitive judgment, or common sense.
In more precise terms, heuristics are strategies using readily accessible, though loosely applicable, information to control problem solving in human beings and machines….
Mediation, as used in law, is a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), is a way of resolving disputes between two or more parties. A third party, the mediator, assists the parties to negotiate their own settlement (facilitative mediation). In some cases, mediators may express a view on what might be a fair or reasonable settlement, generally where all the parties agree that the mediator may do so (evaluative mediation).
Mediation has a structure, timetable and dynamics that “ordinary” negotiation lacks. The process is private and confidential. The presence of a mediator is the key distinguishing feature of the process. There may be no obligation to go to mediation, but in some cases, any settlement agreement signed by the parties to a dispute will be binding on them.
Mediators use various techniques to open, or improve, dialogue between disputants, aiming to help the parties reach an agreement (with concrete effects) on the disputed matter. Much depends on the mediator’s skill and training. The mediator must be wholly impartial. Disputants may use mediation in a variety of disputes, such as commercial, legal, diplomatic, workplace, community and family matters. A third-party representative may contract and mediate between (say) unions and corporations. When a workers’ union goes on strike, a dispute takes place, the parties may agree to a third party to settle a contract or agreement between the union and the corporation.
Ignorance is like a gun in hand
Reach out to the promised land
Your history books are full of lies
Media-blitz gonna dry your eyes
Have you ever been afraid
And felt society try to keep you down, I begin to watch things change
And see them turn around

Goober is a combination of peanut butter and jelly within a single jar and possibly the first such combination of its type.
It is sold in North America and is named after the North American slang name for the peanut. Goober is marketed towards children and was introduced in 1968 by The J.M. Smucker Company under the Smucker’s brand. It consists of alternating vertical stripes of peanut butter and either grape or strawberry flavored fruit preserves.
At least one “store brand” variant is available, sold by Kroger under their name, the Ralphs brand name and as Yipes! Stripes! under Kroger’s Disney Magic Selections label.
go go goober!
don’t forget to feed the pigs
if you can’t i will
“Dixie”, also known as “I Wish I Was in Dixie”, “Dixie’s Land”, and other titles, is a popular American song. It is one of the most distinctively American musical products of the 19th century, and probably the best-known song to have come out of blackface minstrelsy.
Although not a folk song at its creation, “Dixie” has since entered the American folk vernacular. The song likely cemented the word “Dixie” in the American vocabulary as a synonym for the Southern United States.
Most sources credit Ohio-born Daniel Decatur Emmett with the song’s composition; however many other people have claimed to have composed “Dixie”, even during Emmett’s lifetime. Compounding the problem of definitively establishing the song’s authorship are Emmett’s own confused accounts of its writing, and his tardiness in registering the song’s copyright. The latest challenge has come on behalf of the Snowden Family of Knox County, Ohio, who may have collaborated with Emmett to write “Dixie”.
The song originated in the blackface minstrel shows of the 1850s and quickly grew famous across the United States. Its lyrics, written in a comic, exaggerated version of African American Vernacular English, tell the story of a freed black slave pining for the plantation of his birth. During the American Civil War, “Dixie” was adopted as a de facto anthem of the Confederacy. New versions appeared at this time that more explicitly tied the song to the events of the Civil War. Since the advent of the North American Civil Rights Movement, many have identified the lyrics of the song with the iconography and ideology of the Old South. Today, “Dixie” is sometimes considered offensive, and its critics link the act of singing it to sympathy for the concept of slavery in the American South. Its supporters, on the other hand, view it as a legitimate aspect of Southern culture and heritage and the campaigns against it as political correctness. In fact, the song was a favorite of President Abraham Lincoln, who apparently saw no racism in it; he had it played at some of his political rallies and at the announcement of General Robert E. Lee’s surrender.
The US Federal government finally revealed the inventory of Lincoln’s pockets on February 12, 1976. According to official documents, his silk-lined, leather wallet contained the following: 
pencil
Confederate $5.00 bill
news clippings about unrest in the Confederate army, emancipation in Missouri, the Union party platform of 1864
article on the Presidency by John Bright
He was also carrying in his pockets two pairs of glasses, a chamois glass wipe, an ivory and silver pocket knife, a white handkerchief with A. Lincoln embroidered in red, and a gold quartz watch fob missing the watch.
In between love and trying to scheme love, Who can tell what we may find, Never thought love, not get caught love
Between the magic in your eyes, And loves like women, it’s cool and breezy
Never thought that love could be so easy, In between love and trying to scheme love
And in between love again, In between love and trying to scheme love, Who can tell what we may find
All this time love, I sublime love, To the feelings in my mind
Loves like women, it’s cool and breezy, Never thought that love could be so easy
In between love and trying to scheme love
And in between love again

In Freudian psychology, displacement (German Verschiebung, ‘shift’ or ‘move’) is an unconscious defense mechanism whereby the mind redirects affects from an object felt to be dangerous or unacceptable to an object felt to be safe or acceptable. The term originated with Sigmund Freud.
Displacement operates in the mind unconsciously and involves emotions, ideas, or wishes being transferred from their original object to a more acceptable substitute. It is most often used to allay anxiety; and can refer to the displacement of aggressive impulses or to the displacement of sexual impulses.

Go west, Paradise is there
You’ll have all that you can eat
Of milk & honey over there
You’ll be the brightest star
The world has ever seen
Sun-baked slender heroine
Of film & magazine
Go west, Paradise is there
You’ll have all that you can eat
Of milk & honey over there

You’ll be the brightest light
The world has ever seen
The dizzy height of a jet-set life
You could never dream
Your pale blue eyes
Strawberry hair
Lips so sweet
Skin so fair
Your future bright
Beyond compare
It’s rags to riches
Over there
San Andreas Fault
Moved its fingers
Through the ground
Earth divided
Plates collided
Such an awful sound
San Andreas Fault
Moved its fingers
Through the ground
Terra cotta shattered
And the walls came
Tumbling down
O, promised land
O, wicked ground
Build a dream
Tear it down
O, promised land
What a wicked ground
Build a dream
Watch it all fall down
