    Mush here're some of my favourites on dreams, though I don't know from whom.
    -Poor are the people who don't have dreams.
    -Be careful of the dreams you chose for, dreams come true.
    -All men dream but not equally. Most of them dream in the rusty recess of the night and by morning it fades into vanity, the dreamers of the day are dangerous men…for, they might live their dreams.

    “Run!”

    By: Sleep Sunshine

    Your pratfalls sound on the wet pavement.

    Slap, splash. Slap, splash. Slap.

    Surrounded by trees you inhale a pine scent air-freshener with each breath.

    Suck, suck…blow. Suck, suck…blow. Slap, splash. Suck, suck…blow. Slap, splash. Suck, suck…blow.

    Your calves burn, but you don't stop, can't stop, can never stop…moving. Sweat drenches your U of I ball cap, adding to the chalky-residue of dried sweat from days, weeks, a month ago. Soaked is your sweat-resistant (so it said on the tag when you bought it) shirt, shorts, socks. Your New Balance cross-trainers spit water from the wet pavement into the air behind you.

    Slap, splash. Slap, splash. Slap.

    Suck, suck…blow. Suck, suck…blow.

    Slap, splash. Suck, suck…blow.

    Where are you going? What are you doing? What are you running from?

    It's your birthday. Today's your birthday. May 27, 2010. Thirty-one years old. Today.

    “Hi, Mrs. Robinson!”

    Thank you.

    Why Go For Modular Cabins? The popularity of the modular cabin is on the rise these days and this is mainly attributed to its lower cost, easy availability and it is non pollutant. Most of the modular cabins are made in factories are then are shipped to different locations. As the modular cabin is fully constructed and will arrive in a full piece, all you have to do is to unpack it and fix it in the site. There are also portable cabins that can be assembled very easily once the base pieces of the cabins are made available at the site. As the modular cabin that you purchase is very easy to install, you will be able to save a major chunk of your time when you go for modular cabins and there will be no delays in construction and also waiting …modular cabin, portable cabins

    2-higher ratio of unanswered questions to answered questions
    3-higher ratio of good answers to unhelpful answers

    2-better ratio of questions asked to questions answered
    3-better ratio of good answers to unhelpful answers

    These cannot all be true. If “higher ratio” means more, then the forum has more good answers and thus is better at that. If it is the other way around, then the forum has more answered questions and thus is better at that. So the forums must have more unanswered questions and more unhelpful answers, the mailing lists must have a worse ratio for answers, or the mailing list must have a worse ratio for good answers.]]>
