By the mossy weed-flowered column,
Where the setting moonbeam's glance
Streams a radiance cold and solemn
On the haunts of old romance:
Know'st thou what those shafts betoken,
Scattered on that tablet lone,
Where the ivory bow lies broken
By the monumental stone?

When true knighthood's shield, neglected,
Mouldered in the empty hall;
When the charms that shield protected
Slept in death's eternal thrall;
When chivalric glory perished
Like the pageant of a dream,
Love in vain its memory cherished,
Fired in vain the minstrel's theme...... continue reading @ www.galatixnews.com

DEAREST, a look is but a ray
Reflected in a certain way;
A word, whatever tone it wear,
Is but a trembling wave of DEAREST, a look is but a ray
Reflected in a certain way;
A word, whatever tone it wear,
Is but a trembling wave of air;
A touch, obedience to a clause
In nature's pure material laws.

The very flowers that bend and meet,
In sweetening others, grow more sweet;
The clouds by day, the stars by night,
Inweave their floating locks of light;
The rainbow, Heaven's own forehead's braid,
Is but the embrace of sun and shade.;

A mouse lived in a dingy cupboard,
Not the cupboard of Old Mother Hubbard,
But a horrid closet, non the less,
Which caused him unrelenting stress,
For it was just so dark in there,
And also it had no fresh air,
Thus these two things, had made him twitch,
Furthermore, he imagined that a nasty witch,
Was coming to find him, any day,
To take his mousy life away.

The silence was so very eerie,
Nothing here was very cheery,
But he felt he wasn't here alone,
And at the moment was very prone,
To think he could sense another being
Creeping around, but he wasn't seeing
Anything is this pitch black.
He thought maybe he would go and pack,
And leave this place, go somewhere new,
Anywhere would be better, than this venue..... <<< read more >>> @ www.galatixnews.com

Like an early morning tied, whos waves
endlessly washed upon a warm
sandy beach, so to, do the memories of
you, wash over my every waking moment.

I remember watching you sleep as the morning
sun filtered through the lace curtains you made.
I watched in silence, at the way the suns soft rays
kissed your sleeping form, never waking you.
Your face, so peaceful, and always with a
faint hint of a wry smile. I always wondered,
what is she seeing? Thinking?

That face, that so many times, was smothered
with thousands of gentle, caring,
loving kisses from me.

I remember our being fused together as one.
Never wanting to stop. Never wanting to let go.
Kissing...hugging...touching places in body
and soul we never knew existed...... <<< continue reading @ www.galatixnews.com

1. Success is no respecter of location, fertility is not in the land, but in the mind. Whatever your mind cannot comprehend, your life cannot apprehend.

2. The spirit of work is the spirit of worth.

3. To keep going is to keep glowing.

4. The zenith of an accomplishment is the genesis of another one. This may be your bus-stop but definitely not your end-stop. Keep on keeping on.

5. Inventions are simply intentions that enjoyed attention.

6. Success is not hereditary. Failure is no genetic. It is all a function of choice.

7.Success is relative to progress. It is making measurable progress in a reasonable amount of time.

Friend, let the Light God put inside, be a witness that’s not denied.
Witness for The Lord Jesus Christ; a witness of your newfound life.
Friend as you walk through the night, allow others to see your light.
Light received from The Lord above, so that we can share His Love.

A life witness is what men need, when God’s Word they don’t heed,
In our life, these men need to see, the Light of Christ not you or me.
Allow your life be living proof, of the changing power of God’s Truth.
Your walk of Truth may just inspire, men to make Christ their desire..... <<< continue reading @www.galatixnews.com

In the dawn of the day when the sea and the earth
Reflected the sunrise above,
I set forth with a heart full of courage and mirth
To seek for the Kingdom of Love.
I asked of a Poet I met on the way
Which cross-road would lead me aright.
And he said: "Follow me, and not long you shall see
Its glittering turrets of light."

And soon in the distance a city shone fair,
"Look yonder," he said; "how it gleams!"
But alas! for the hopes that were doomed to despair,
It was only the "Kingdom of Dreams."
Then the next man I asked was a gay Cavalier,
And he said: "Follow me, follow me;"
And with laughter and song we went speeding along
By the shores of Life's beautiful sea.

Then we came to a valley more tropical far
Than the wonderful vale of Cashmere,
And I saw from a bower a face like a flower
Smile out on the gay Cavalier...... <<} continue reading @www.galatixnews.com

Around and Around
To think of a flower
A moon and a star
Since moon and star decided to be together
As they went for a date
Forgot did the moon to bring a flower
For the star
Which confused the moon
As star was twinkling
Looking so bright and shiny
And smiling with a sparkling smile
As nothing restricted the two from being one.... <<< continue reading @www.galatixnews.

These days all guys just want quick sex nothing else. I mean all guys are players. They use a girl and throw her away like used tissue. Now I am not against the idea of love.

Yose Chiquillo is still in shock that Donald Trump won the presidency.

“I didn’t think he was going to win,” she said “I don’t like when he’s insulting, but I like that he is honest and says what he thinks in the moment.”

Chiquillo, a 44-year-old Venezuelan immigrant who has lived in the US for 21 years, voted for Trump on Tuesday in part out of frustration with how the Clinton administration handled immigration in the 1990s.

“They made life really hard for Latinos,” she said, noting Clinton’s deal that would send Cuban migrants caught at sea back to the island while granting citizenship to millions of undocumented immigrants in the US. “It was hard, really hard.”

Chiquillo’s dismay with the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton, who she said “deceived” voters by deleting her emails, may explain in part how Trump, who has called Mexicans “rapists” and said an “overwhelming amount of violent crime in our major cities is committed by blacks and hispanics,” earned such a high percentage of the Latino vote in Florida compared to Mitt Romney in 2012...... <<< read more >>> www.newsbiznet.

The Argentina star's incredible knowledge of the game and his international team-mates has surprised even his national team coach

Argentina coach Edgardo Bauza was surprised by Lionel Messi's knowledge of football, saying the star knew "everything" about the game.

Messi, sidelined with a groin injury, is considered among the game's greats thanks to his stunning displays and achievements with Barcelona.

Bauza, who spoke to Messi before the 29-year-old reversed his international retirement, was stunned by how smart the attacker was..... ‹‹‹ read more ››› www.sportblitznews.com

Daniele De Rossi has forgiven Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon for his howler in the Azzurri's 1-1 draw with Spain, reminding reporters even the best players can make mistakes.

Spain went ahead on the day thanks to a rare Buffon blunder on 55 minutes. The legendary keeper charged out of his goal to meet a Sergio Busquets through ball only to completely miss his kick and allow Spain forward Vitolo to roll the ball into the vacant net.

De Rossi equalised from the spot in the 82nd minute to secure the point for Giampiero Ventura's side. And the Roma midfielder discussed the difficult match afterward.

"It was tough, above all the first half. Spain always control the ball, but in the first half we were too deep and allowed them too much possession. We were too weak in the tackle and then kept giving it back," the Roma midfielder told Rai Sport..... ‹‹‹ read more ›››› www.sportblitznews.com

The Spaniard has earned a national team call-up after providing the presence in defensive midfield which United had previously craved

Amid the endless conjecture relating to Manchester United’s midfield this season, one name that has received little air-time for the most part is Ander Herrera. While there has been ire over Marouane Fellaini, bemusement at the disappearance of Michael Carrick and Morgan Schneiderlin, bewilderment concerning Bastian Schweinsteiger’s situation and doubts about the worth of Paul Pogba, little has been made of Herrera.

Yet the Spaniard has been one of the key members of the side during a recent upturn in form which has shown Jose Mourinho’s side in a much better light. In the 4-1 victory over champions Leicester City and the dominant performance in the draw with Stoke, the Red Devils provided a glimpse of what they can deliver when playing to their strengths.

Whereas previously there was a greater responsibility on Pogba to provide quality possession for himself, Herrera has allowed the Frenchman to revel in more dangerous areas since being recalled by Mourinho. While Carrick might have seemed the more natural fit at the base of midfield, the 27-year-old has shown that he could yet be the long-term solution to an issue highlighted in the back-to-back league defeats against Manchester City and Watford...... ‹‹‹ read more ››› www.sportblitznews.com

Wayne Rooney has vowed to fight his way back from criticism and the bench, with recent setbacks only making the England captain more determined to prove he is anything but finished.

No longer the rapid, lung-busting striker that captivated as a teenager, he is having to adapt to the changes that come with being an attack-minded player in their thirties.

It is a difficult transition exacerbated by the scrutiny of the wider footballing world, leading Rooney's place in the line-up -- never mind his role -- to be inspected like never before.

Some have gone as far as to suggest the 30-year-old is not only past his prime but past it altogether -- talk that inspires rather than dissuades the England and Manchester United captain.

"No," Rooney retorted when asked if his career was coming to an end after being dropped to the bench for three straight club matches..... ‹‹‹ read more ››› www.sportblitznews.com

More pandering? Yes and no.

Crazy as it sounds, the suggestion he made on Monday, which will be among those debated by FIFA next January, actually makes more sense than the 40-team World Cup mooted during his campaign. That's because, a 40-team World Cup was just that -- forty teams in the group stage, each playing a minimum of three games. Group winners and the six-best second placed sides would advance. All of this would have added up to more. More games: 76 instead of the current 64. More days: from 30 up to at least 35. More venues: 12 at a minimum, whereas now you can get away with 10.

The other "more" people care about -- more revenue for FIFA's coffers, which then gets redistributed to participating nations -- likely would be that much more, albeit not enough to off-set the added costs and inconvenience. Not to mention that, with such a format, meaningless group games are pretty much guaranteed. (And that's before you get into the argument of quality supposedly being diluted. It's not a view I share -- I liked the 24 team Euros for example -- but many feel that way.)..... ‹‹‹ read more ››› www.sportblitznews.com

Jose Mourinho's pragmatic approach to coaching Manchester United has won him few accolades, the FC panel give their thoughts.

"Where can you go after Manchester United? Probably there's only Real Madrid. Any other thing isn't the same."

Ruud van Nistelrooy was talking in 2010, four years after leaving Old Trafford, having joined Hamburg from Real Madrid. The Dutch striker was exploring a familiar, time-honoured adage that certainly applied during the glory years under Sir Alex Ferguson (with the exception of Barcelona's Gerard Pique) but since the Scot retired in 2013, no longer rings true.

As United spend fortunes in pursuing similar successes, many of their former players are proving there is indeed life after Old Trafford.

Tom Heaton, 30 (Burnley)

The last United youth product to claim a regular first-team goalkeeping spot was Gary Walsh in the 1986-87 season, so Heaton's chances were always scarce. Released in 2010 after not making a single first-team appearance, Heaton made his way to Burnley in 2013 via Cardiff and Bristol City.

He has been key in two Championship promotions and captained the Clarets since the summer of 2015. He also made his England debut against Australia in May and was a member of the 23-man Euro 2016 squad.

Continuity, or lack thereof, is something of a theme this season. One of the reasons the top of the Premier League is so intriguing is that three of the main contenders for the title (Man United, City and Chelsea) have new managers: not just men who have their own styles, but men whose styles contrast significantly with their predecessors.

That was certainly something Antonio Conte lingered on after Chelsea's nerve-calming 2-0 win over Hull City. The first weeks of the Italian's tenure at Stamford Bridge have been rather uneven, Saturday representing their first victory since August. Questions have been asked about their lack of defensive solidity, to the point that Conte almost seemed more pleased with the clean sheet (also their first since August) than the win.

Conte changed Chelsea's system to a three-man defence on Saturday, and while Hull's attack didn't exactly provide the sternest of tests, the players did at least show they could cope with the formation he often deployed to great success with Juventus and Italy..... ‹‹‹ read more ››› www.sportblitznews.com

There's a good way to change managers -- and there's a less good way.

In January 2016, Swansea City appointed Francesco Guidolin as manager and gave him a deal through the end of the season. It made sense not to commit long-term: The club were one point above the relegation zone and, if they did go down, Swansea wouldn't be locked into it a pricey multi-year deal. On May 11, the club announced that they had extended his deal for another two seasons, through 2018. At that point, they had moved from 17th to 11th in the table.

OK, you'd assume he had convinced them enough to get a permanent deal. Then, in July, Swansea got new American majority owners. Since takeovers generally don't happen overnight, you might even assume that they were aware of Guidolin's contract extension and possibly even signed off on it. Either way, they were now in charge.... ‹‹‹ read more ››› www.sportblitznews.com

LONDON -- Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola admitted Tottenham had been "one step in front" of his side in Sunday's 2-0 defeat at White Hart Lane.

Guardiola suffered his first loss in English football as Spurs ended City's 100 percent start to the league season in their seventh match, with Dele Alli adding to Aleksandar Kolarov's own goal before half-time.

"They were better, the better team," Guardiola said. "We played against a team who had the same trainer for the last two or three years and last season was fighting for Premier League.

"They have players with talent -- we knew how aggressive they are, home and away and especially home. Of course it was difficult -- we had problems finding the guys and controlling our game.
