Risking my heart again....

It's hard for me to say this,
It's hard to put into words.
The way I feel about you,
Cuz I'm afraid of getting hurt.

I'm afraid that I'm falling for you,
My heart has hit the floor.
I hate to be without you,
It makes me want you more.

I love it when you hold me,
And look into my eyes.
I love to feel your body,
When it's pressed against mine.

I love to wake up next to you,
All curled up in your arms.
Where I know you'll keep me safe,
From any kind of harm.

Every time I'm with you,
There's a constant smile on my face.
The piece missing from my heart,
You have somehow replaced.

I want to tell you,
How I really feel.
But I find it hard to admit,
That this is all so real.

You know that I care about you,
But you don't know how much.
I find myself falling in love,
With someone I feel I can trust.

I don't want to scare you away,
I just wanted you to know.
The way I feel about you,
As it continues to grow.

Once again I am risking my heart,
In hopes that you feel the same.
But if you don't, let me know,
So I can deal with the pain.

Researcher cracks Mac in 10 seconds at PWN2OWN, wins $5k

Charlie Miller, a security researcher who hacked a Macintosh in two minutes last year at
CanSecWest's PWN2OWN contest, improved his time today by breaking into another Macintosh in under 10 seconds.

Miller, an analyst at Independent Security Evaluators in Baltimore, walked off with a $5,000 cash prize and the MacBook he hacked.

"I can't talk about the details of the vulnerability, but it was a Mac, fully patched, with Safari, fully patched," said Miller on Wednesday, not long after he had won the prize. "It probably took five or 10 seconds." He confirmed that he had researched and written the exploit before he arrived at the challenge.

The PWN2OWN rules stated that the researcher could provide a URL that hosted his exploit, replicating the common hacker tactic of enticing users to malicious sites where they are infected with malware. "I gave them the link, they clicked on it, and that was it," said Miller. "I did a few things to show that I had full control of the Mac."

Two weeks ago, Miller predicted that Safari running on the Macintosh would be the first to fall.

PWN2OWN's sponsor, 3Com Corp.'s TippingPoint unit, paid Miller $5,000 for the rights to the vulnerability he exploited and the exploit code he used. As it has at past challenges, it reported the vulnerability to on-site Apple representatives. "Apple has it, and they're working on it," added Miller.

According to Terri Forslof, manager of security response at TippingPoint, another researcher later broke into a Sony laptop that was running Windows 7 by exploiting a vulnerability in Internet Explorer 8. "Safari and IE both went down," she said in an e-mail.

TippingPoint's Twitter feed added a bit more detail to Forslof's quick message: "nils just won the sony viao with a brilliant IE8 bug!"

The Measure Of My Love

Falling Grain By Grain
Higher Than The Skies Above
That Bring The Springtime Rain

Countless As The Twinkling Stars
Scattered Across The Night
Hotter Than The Searing Sun
Which Burns By Day So Bright

At Its Peak
More Helpless Than a Newborn Babe
Lying Young And Weak
Lovely As The Sweetest Bird Singing Loves
Sweet Song Longer Than The End Of Time
And Then Go Teice As Long
Sweet As All The Honey Ever Made By Any Bee
Stronger Than The Mighty Oak Or Any Tree
Lonely As The Worlds Last Woman

Because We Are Apart
Deeper Than The Deepest Hole
The Hole That's In My Heart
My Love For You Is All These Things
And More Than I Can Say
My Love For You Is All I Have
To Get Me Through Each Day.

My mother hired a hitman to kill me: The shocking story of a Muslim woman whose parents disapproved of her Western lifestyle

The text message forwarded to me from my younger sister Saira was concise and chilling: 'Mum's sent a hit man to kill you,' it read. 'Be careful.'

As I read those words, my first instinct wasn't fear or even shock, but simply survival.

I'd become accustomed to behaviour like this from both my parents - behaviour that anyone else would find abhorrent - and I was emotionally numb to their threats.

But I also knew that my sister's warning was deadly serious and my life was in real danger. I'd been in hiding for several weeks when I received the text.

I was born in Gravesend in Kent in 1974 and brought up there in a devout Muslim family with three sisters and two brothers.

My father Zammurrad, a factory worker, was a deeply religious man but violent towards my mother Surriya and my sisters Zarqa, now 38, Saira, 33, and Tahira, 32.

I tried to be an obedient daughter, praying up to five times a day, but I never felt loved by my parents - or that I really belonged.

In turn, my parents viewed me as something of an oddity. Perhaps it was because I loved performing.

From as young as five, acting and singing was in my blood and at school I won so many competitions for writing songs that if the teachers wanted a song for an assembly they'd ask me to write one and I'd get up on stage and sing it.

My love of singing and dancing wasn't exactly encouraged at home, but it wasn't a big problem when I was young. But as I hit my teens, my parents told me I could no longer continue.

I was to forget my childish fantasies of becoming an actress, as in their eyes singing and dancing were on a par with prostitution.

As I grew older, my father started placing increasingly severe restrictions on my life. I was forbidden from making friends with other children and lived a very lonely existence.

On the one occasion I was given special permission to attend a birthday party of a girl who lived 100 metres down the road, I was allowed to stay for only an hour. My life was just school and home, with no free time for myself.

'Miracle cat' Brownie on mend after arrow pierces his head

Monroe County Humane Association

Brownie lies on the exam table at an Indiana veterinarian's office after being shot through the head with an arrow. Below, after the arrow is removed.

Me-Owwwww!

An orange tabby named Brownie was shot in the head with an arrow and amazingly survived.

The 13-inch arrow only pierced the kitty's muscle, avoiding his skull and eyes - and a vet in rural Indiana was able to remove it.

"He's just a miracle cat," said Sarah Hayes, chief executive of the Monroe County Humane Association.

"He was just purring and rubbing up against people, even with the arrow in his head," Hayes said.

"He's a loving, sweet, sweet cat."

Brownie had been missing for three days when his owner Dillon Eads saw him come up over a hill Aug. 28 with the arrow in his head.

Eads, 83, called police right away.

He suspects that someone was cruelly using his beloved pet for target practice.

"I never felt so sorry for anything in my life. It just broke my heart," he tearfully told local television stations.

The humane association is offering a $1,450 reward for information leading to the arrest of the person who hurt Brownie.

The good-natured feline, which even loves dogs, is healing well and will be reunited with Eads next week, Hayes said.

He has eight lives left, anyway.

"He's on the adventure of his life," Hayes said.

Hidden potential

A child was born three months after the death of his father. Born prematurely, he was a small child; his mother said that he could easily fit inside a quart mug.. When He was three, his mother remarried and went to live with her new husband, leaving her son in the care of his maternal grandmother.
Began his schooling in the village schools. When he was 15 yrs, his step father died and his mother came back only to remove him from school and attempted to make a farmer of him. He was thoroughly unhappy with the farm work. One of his high school teacher helped him back to school to complete his education.
At the age of 19 he fell in love, romanced for a year and got engaged to his beloved. But he became engrossed in his studies and let the romance cool itself and she left him and married someone else. He never married. He faced challenges everywhere! He was born unlucky with much hardship for very survival & struggle for education. What can you expect that child to do and achieve in life? Think!

He described universal gravitation (Gravity) and the three laws of motion. He invented the reflecting telescope and made many contributions to mathematics.

Yes we are talking of Sir Isaac Newton
Best wishes to you to release your hidden potential in this life itself!

What is love?

A student asks a teacher, "What is love?"
The teacher said, "in order to answer your question, go to the wheat field and choose the biggest wheat and come back. But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick."
The student went to the field, go threw first row, he saw one big wheat, but he wonders....may be there is a bigger one later.Then he saw another bigger one... but may be there is an even bigger one waiting for him. Later, when he finished more than half of the wheat field, he starts to realize that the wheat is not as big as the previous one he saw, he knew he has missed the biggest one, and he regretted.
So, he ended up went back to the teacher with empty hand.

The teacher told him, "...this is love... you keep looking for better ones, but
when later you realise, you have already missed the person.

HOW SMART IS YOUR RIGHT FOOT? ...

This takes 2 seconds. I could not believe this! It is from a Physiotherapist... This will boggle your mind and you will keep trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but you can't. It's pre-programmed in your brain!
1. while sitting at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles with it.
2. Now, while doing this, draw the number '6' in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction. And there's nothing you can do about it!

HA!! Father's beware of such sons.....

A little boy got on the bus, sat next to a man reading a book, and noticed he had his collar on backwards.

The little boy asked why he wore his collar backwards.
The man, who was a priest, said, "I am a Father." The little boy replied, "My Daddy doesn't wear his collar like that. "

The priest looked up from his book and answered "I am the Father of many."

The boy said, "My Dad has 4 boys, 4 girls and two grandchildren and he doesn't wear his collar that way.. "

The priest, getting impatient, said, "I am the Father of hundreds" and went back to reading his book.
The little boy sat quietly thinking for a while, then leaned over and said,
"Maybe you should wear your pants backwards instead of your collar."
