My love has eyes which do not glow:
Her loveliness is somewhat formed askew,
With blemishes which number not a few,
And pouting lips o'er teeth not in a row.

Her limbs are doughtier than mine,
And what I do not please to give she takes.
Her hair were better kempt with hoes and rakes
Her kiss tastes less of diamondraught than brine.

Her odorescence gives me ill:
Her converse is by wit or grace unlit:
Her raiment would become her if it fit.
So think of me with rue: I love her still.

Producer and distributor of cement

Italcementi Group manufactures and distributes three main product lines: cement, aggregates and ready-mixed concrete.
We aim to optimize production across all of our markets, providing a complete solution for customers needs at the lowest possible cost, an approach we call strategic integration of activities.

Cement is made from a mixture of 80 percent limestone and 20 percent clay. These are crushed and ground to provide the "raw meal”, a pale, flour-like powder. Heated to around 1450° C (2642° F) in rotating kilns, the “meal” undergoes complex chemical changes and is transformed into clinker. Fine-grinding the clinker together with a small quantity of gypsum produces cement. Adding other constituents at this stage produces cements for specialized uses.

Aggregates are made from sand and gravel extracted from quarries. Around 60 percent of aggregates are used in road construction. The remainder is used to produce concrete.

Concrete is a mixture of cement, aggregates, water, admixtures and additions based on formulas that conform to predetermined strict technical specifications. Concrete is either mixed on the building site or delivered "ready-mixed" by specialized suppliers. The cement manufacturer’s knowledge of the chemical composition of the basic materials provides additional quality assurance to the user.

Stairway to Heaven ~ Page-Plant
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
And you know sometimes words have two meanings
In the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forest will echo with laughter

And it makes me wonder

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen

Yes there are two paths you can go by
but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on

Your head is humming and it won't go because you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady can't you hear the wind blow and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for

And she's buying a stairway to heaven, uh uh uh.

THE RHONE'S NOT ALWAYS RED

Think Rhone, think red. So much of the river of wine that pours from the
Rhone Valley is red, rich and delicious that it can come as a surprise
to the wine lover to learn that the region also produces whites.

While some in the North hated slavery because they felt that it was wrong, most people held no opinion of it at all, and some even condoned it because abolishing it would be bad for business. Without slaves there would be no cotton. Without cotton the textile industry would suffer. To many it was just that simple.

Even in the North only four states permitted free blacks to vote, and in no state could they serve on a jury. Many people wondered what could possibly be done with the huge number of blacks if they were, in fact, freed.

delete the message.

Chart 6 indicates a slow decrease in farm fertilizer use, while Chart 7 illustrates a somewhat rapid nonfarm fertilizer use increase over the same period of time. Note that in Chart 6, 2001 revealed farm fertilizer use dropping to below-average levels, while nonfarm fertilizer use (Chart 7) remained well above average. Chart 8 shows a comparison of farm and nonfarm fertilizer use rates; nonfarm use is clearly on the way to overtaking farm use. Further discussion below will illustrate that farm fertilizer use cannot continue to increase, while the opposite is true for nonfarm fertilizer use.

Fertilizer use among the general populace, shown in Chart 9 (encompassing lawns, managed green space and golf courses), between 1990 and 2001 grew at a greater rate than the state’s population. This strong correlation between population growth and nonfarm fertilizer use is an indication that farmers will not continue to be the primary users of fertilizers in the state. When will this change occur?

Farmland loss projections indicate that by 2025, the only farmland remaining in the state of Maryland will be the 827,027 acres protected under conservation or preservation easement. Based on average fertilizer application rates, this means that farm fertilizer use will also decrease. Nonfarm fertilizer use is expected to continue and increase with the population, exceeding farm use around 2022.
Nutrient management goals cannot be fulfilled unless specific controls for nonfarm use of fertilizers are addressed and required. Given the trends of fertilizer usage, nonfarm use of fertilizers will exceed farm use in the next 19 years. All citizens and entities of business use fertilizers and contribute to water pollution in our streams and the Chesapeake Bay; therefore we must have a balanced policy which recognizes and requires that we all be responsible stakeholders in protecting the future of the Bay.

Day 1) Victoria Station -> Catholic Cathedral (forgot name) : mass, incense,
mosaic, peace, silence, stained glass wow! -> Westminster Bridge: Wordsworth
(Earth has not anything to show more fair...) -> Big Ben: taking photographs
for hordes of other people, I should have charged them, honestly... - > Protest
outside Parliament House calling the British PM a BLiar -> Down the Queen's Way
-> The London Eye (giant wheel, taking gullible tourists up for £5 a person) ->
Listened to choir on the way (The something Halfbacks something) -> Across the
New Bridge -> Roman Baths (Just a sign I saw off the doorway of King's College,
and decided to walk into) -> Down The Strand -> The BBC Shop, where I lusted
after endless DVDs that I couldn't afford.

Then, on the way to Covent Garden, I
wrote down the Laws of the Underground:

1) Thou shalt not acknowledge the presence of any other human
2) Thou shalt not intrude on the space of any other human, even if it means that
thou must contract thy feet to half their size
3) Thou shalt live in a bubble created by thy book, iPod, or blank stare
4) If thou adopts said blank stare, thou shalt direct it towards the ceiling, or
the floor, or any suitable open space.
5) Thou showest that thou art a foreigner if thou breaks any of the above Laws.
