TO PUT the art and talent of Mindanaoan fashion design into the spotlight, Kagay’anon fashion designers put their hands together to organize the 5th Mindanao Fashion Summit at the Limketkai Center Rotunda from August 4 to 6, every 4 p.m. “Being a core event of the Higalaay festival, the opening salvo, the Mindanao Fashion Summit can really highlight fashion designers here in Cagayan de Oro and also in different points of Mindanao to let everyone see what they can do in the world of fashion design especially now that there are only so few opportunities for these designers to show off their works to the public. This is why we have the Mindanao fashion Summit because Kagay-anon designers believe that even if they join national fashion shows like the Philippine Fashion week, most of them still aren't getting the right encouragement as a fashion designer.” said Robbie Pamisa, the overall organizer of the event. The Fashion Summit is a three-day event composed of seven sub-categories such as the Mindanaoan collection, the Menswear collection, and the Ororama orange collection for the first day, the Guest Designers’ collection, the Fashion Institute of the Philippines collection and the Loop Lifestyle Fashion Show for the second day, and the Holiday Grand collection for the third day which will serve as the culmination of the fashion event. Mindanaoan Fashion designers from Cagayan de Oro as well as Davao, Butuan, Iligan, and Bukidnon have come to showcase their talents. Some of the fashion geniuses of the event include Alma Mae Roa, Angela Soriano, Ann Semblante, Benjie Manuel, Boogie Musni Rivera, Gil Macaibay III, John Mark Magellan’s, Joshua Guibone, Juniel Doring, Kiko Domo, Mark Christopher Yaranon, and Mavy Cooper de Leon. One of the highlights of the event is the Oro Fashion Designers’ Guild and the Designers Assembly featuring a collection of clothes using Mindanao material such as the Mindanao silk. Sponsors such as Ororama and The Loop Towers will also be showcasing their products in the fashion event. “Even student fashion designers from the Fashion Institute of the Philippines have been encouraged to participate so that they will be able to experience how a fashion show works. This is also a way for us to fulfill our mission to be another avenue for fashion designers to show what they have,” Paisa said.Read more at:http://www.marieaustralia.com/short-formal-dresses | www.marieaustralia.com/long-formal-dresses

I believe, God put his view on the world in new borns eyes, and when you stare down into the kaleidoscope wonders, you see the natural beauty of what this all use to be. And when I look down at you Cooper, know I'm standing in the Garden of Eden, with tears rolling down my cheeks, splashing against a phone screen, preventing me from watching you blink. Aunty loves  you Cooper.

Garden of Eden
i think how we need to be loved as adults stems from our childhood (or lack thereof). if you were abandoned, you need to be smothered, to know every second that you're adored. but as a child you were always alone, so the very love you crave makes you feel suffocated and crawling white knuckled to get out. and so this war rages inside of us, until we have exhausted ourselves & perhaps those who were brave enough to extend their hands. ©raine cooper

An away game at Leeds! The Loiner Lion will have its feeds. So it was, back in the day When Revie’s Men held full sway. Reaney, Charlton, Hunter, Cooper, That defence was really super. David Harvey, ‘keeper complete, Guaranteed a solid clean sheet. The midfield ruled by Bremner and Giles, Billy’s energy, Johnny’s wiles. Lorimer and Gray down the wings, Recalling Eddie (Gray), oh my heart sings. Jones and Clarkey gave us goals, Lots of them, shoals and shoals. 73-74 our greatest year, Opponents always full of fear. Man U relegated that season too, Better days there were very few. We won the league by a merry mile, Time to smile as we did it in style. In 69 we lost just two from 42. Opponents didn’t know what to do. Burnley and City our only losses, Otherwise we were the bosses. 92 was another good year, Man U crying in their beer. Then we sold them Cantona, That really was a bridge too far. The rest is history as they say; We strive again to have our day. In the second tier on Italian money, Seeking the land of milk and honey. The Premiership’s the place where we should be, Please Messi, join us, on a free! We hanker for those glory days. God please help us with your mysterious ways. Paul Butters © PB 11\9\2015.

We Are Leeds
I had written him a letter which I had, for want of better Knowledge, sent to where I met him down the Lachlan, years ago, He was shearing when I knew him, so I sent the letter to him, Just "on spec", addressed as follows, "Clancy, of The Overflow". And an answer came directed in a writing unexpected, (And I think the same was written with a thumb-nail dipped in tar) Twas his shearing mate who wrote it, and verbatim I will quote it: "Clancy's gone to Queensland droving, and we don't know where he are." In my wild erratic fancy visions come to me of Clancy Gone a-droving "down the Cooper" where the Western drovers go; As the stock are slowly stringing, Clancy rides behind them singing, For the drover's life has pleasures that the townsfolk never know. And the bush hath friends to meet him, and their kindly voices greet him In the murmur of the breezes and the river on its bars, And he sees the vision splendid of the sunlit plains extended, And at night the wond'rous glory of the everlasting stars. I am sitting in my dingy little office, where a stingy Ray of sunlight struggles feebly down between the houses tall, And the foetid air and gritty of the dusty, ***** city Through the open window floating, spreads its foulness over all And in place of lowing cattle, I can hear the fiendish rattle Of the tramways and the buses making hurry down the street, And the language uninviting of the gutter children fighting, Comes fitfully and faintly through the ceaseless ***** of feet. And the hurrying people daunt me, and their pallid faces haunt me As they shoulder one another in their rush and nervous haste, With their eager eyes and greedy, and their stunted forms and weedy, For townsfolk have no time to grow, they have no time to waste. And I somehow rather fancy that I'd like to change with Clancy, Like to take a turn at droving where the seasons come and go, While he faced the round eternal of the cash-book and the journal — But I doubt he'd suit the office, Clancy, of "The Overflow".

Well I don't know if you saw me and passed on Coffee Meets Bagel a few days ago or not, but you look pretty adorable and sound interesting too, so I wanted to say hi either way! 4 weeks in Ireland sounds pretty great too - was that for work, or some other opportunity? If you had to pick between only skiing or snowboarding for the rest of your life, which would you choose? Hey! I do web work too...what do you do for the sports coverage website? No workaholism here haha, but I do work hard. Where do you like to get ****** up on a Friday night? Love the uggs on the one male stripper. Gotta get myself a pair. Aww, you and your pup look like super good cuddle buddies. It's really hard to pick something to watch on Netflix...or Amazon Prime in my case. Watching anything good now? What is there to get butthurt about on your profile really? Except for short guys, maybe. Oh, and gamers. I play games sometimes, but not excessively. What's the cooper tires thing you did? 6 pounds is tiny! What kind of dog is he, a yorkie or something? Hey, hope you're having a good weekend. Kinda feels like a golf day today based on the way this last week has felt ha. Do you play a lot? Hey, how are you liking the city and school so far? I went to an engineering school not too far away, you might have heard of it - ... Sometimes it's hard to sum up our IT jobs in a few words, but nice job ha. A constant challenge and learning something new every day is what I like about mine!

apple did you imagine red? so did I which is weird because the apples I eat are kind of yellow asia I said asia not China I remember the time my history professor told my class to imagine asia I thought of an exotic country with arab sheiks and snake charmers the Chinese the Japanese chopsticks and the orient it was then that she pointed out "haven't Western ideas just messed with you?" and it was then that I realized "Wait; I'm Asian. I've lived in Asia all my life." how come I saw it as something foreign and strange? I've never even seen the things I imagined. I remember when I watched Big Bang Theory and the four friends sat down to Thai food Raj made the mistake of asking, "where are the chopsticks?" which led to Dr. Sheldon Cooper saying (in this paraphrased version:) "they don't use chopsticks. They use spoons and forks. The fork doesn't go into their mouth. They use it to push food unto the spoon, which then goes into their mouth." I sat there thinking.. well that's weird when a couple of months later as I watched the episode again I realized that's how my people eat! that's how I've always eaten.. the houses I picture in an average neighborhood are two story concrete structures with shingled roofs cul-de-sacs and oak trees my own house is one story of brick and wood it is beside a highway and surrounded by guava trees and coconuts I don't even know what a picket fence is.

Classroom Discussion Raucous noise vibrates across The surface of my ear Not daring to enter and disrupt The train of thought That processes as a machine Turning, creating, assembling The wheel of thought spinning round the axle -------A **** on the rope, a pull on the subconscious The pulley recognizes the intrusion of an applied force The wheels halt, as if rust jeopardizes its advance. The thoughts scatter, a snapped electrical wire snaking in shock; a cooper waving current racing back to a reality through black rubber nerves. The noise registers, confirming the split of a once continuous wire Insignificant words- not quite processing, failing to relay information, refusing to form a sentence, still trapped in a realm of limbo wanting to return to the rhythm of a reverie. Slipping, falling the mind surrenders, the electricity dies. Materializing in a classroom The cage for intellectual minds Discussing about. From one world to another - act, adapt The bright scientific lights burn The eyes of the dreamer Who creates from the dark, Objects exposed, judged, determined. No place for the dreamer, who loves warping reality. Within the metal box this reality is set. Bars on the window, an indestructible verticality Plastic seats, beige, blue, cold Sit this way, look up, right, like that. You are my animals now speak, raise a hand, perform a trick, tell me what I want to hear, Speak my language of intelligence, be my machine.

Fashion designer Dame Trelise Cooper is holding her first show in Wanaka to help raise funds for the town's planned hospice. The September 30 Theatre of Fashion event is being organised by Wanaka fashion store Escape Clothing owner Lucy Lucas and the Upper Clutha Hospice Trust and organisers hope to raise up to $30,000. Trust fundraiser Bev Rudkin said the show was "such a coup for Wanaka". Wanaka hasn't had anything like this before and we know Theatre of Fashion will be an exciting event." The event will be held at the McRae family's Glendhu Station Woolshed and will showcase the Trelise Cooper Summer 2015/16 collection. It will also feature three Trelise Cooper 1950s-inspired installations. The event includes an auction of donated items, with all proceeds going to the Upper Clutha Hospice Trust. photo:www.marieaustralia.com/evening-dresses Lucas lost her mother to cancer two years ago and says the hospice facility is especially important for the local community. At the moment, Wanaka cancer patients and their families travel either to Clyde's Dunstan Hospital or Dunedin Hospital for hospice care. The Upper Clutha Hospice Trust will be a tenant in the Presbyterian Support Otago and Mt Aspiring Retirement Village's proposed aged care/dementia facility on Cardrona Valley Road. Construction is scheduled later this year. The trust is raising capital and operating costs for its patient rooms within the larger facility. Lucas stocks Trelise Cooper in her shop and approached Dame Trelise to see if she was interested in helping the trust. "Dame Trelise is incredibly generous with her time. She does a lot for community causes. Wanaka is so lucky to have her agree to holding this event, and for her to attend is even better. Guests are in for a treat. Trelise Cooper shows are always fantastic, with plenty of 'wow' factor," Lucas said. Dame Trelise said she was only too happy to help: "Giving back to the community is something I have always believed in. It means a lot to me that my passion and the work that I do can be put towards something that really makes a difference . . . I have some very loyal customers in the South Island who have supported my label right from the beginning, and it feels great to be able to bring an event like this to them." FAST FACTS What: Theatre of Fashion inaugural show When: 6.30pm, Wednesday September 30, 2015 Where: Glendhu Station Woolshed, Glendhu Bay Cost: $65 per person or $75 for front row seats.

Deathbed Confession “In 1971 a man calling himself Dan Cooper hijacked a plane from Portland to Seattle, demanded parachutes and $200,000 in cash, then jumped into the night with the money, never to be seen again.” — fbi.gov So little seemed to be at stake. The bomb was real; the threat was fake. Neither was difficult to make. And I was in my element, or almost there. Yes, the descent was cold, but warmer as I went, and yes it was coal black and raining, but I had uppers and my training. I’ve spent my whole life not complaining. When I could see the woods I wandered out with the twenties, which I laundered, safety-deposited, and squandered, and with the oddest thing — a name I’d paid for but could never claim, a private riddle, private fame. That’s been the hardest part: denial — remaining of no interest while the Bureau opened up a file on every former paratrooper who in his final morphine stupor discovered he was D.B. Cooper. I’m D.B. Cooper. There, I said it. It’s decent work if you can get it, but it pays cash. There is no credit, or blame, or pity in thin air, and I’ve spent forty winters there. I’ll take whatever you can spare, although I don’t suppose the guy whose last confession is a lie deserves it any less than I. This piece is written by Kansas Poet Laureate Henry McHenry. The rights to the poem are completely his.

Deathbed Confession - Eric McHenry
I am from daydreams, from roast beef Sundays, and bichon frises who sniff for crumbs. I am from swinging in the park Dad helped to build, from walking in the back paths and yelling at the geese. I am from sitting atop the coach’s shoulders, from grasshopper and “do great things." I am from home videos with epic battles and dramatic deaths, from my nose buried in a book, and drinking in Tamora’s words. I’m from spending hours in the studio with its wall of mirrors and experts spilling out corrections and wisdom. I am from Big Red, and Little Black A Pony, and from the chicken place. I am from driving with my feet, from making dinner, and playing Sly Cooper. I am from being too young to understand, from being too young to know what to say, and to have known them well. I’m from crying because I didn’t know that her ghostly figure would be my last memory of her. I am from the teacher who shed a tear and believed, from keeping secrets, and leaving it all behind. I’m from drowsy morns, grumpy afternoons, and engaging evenings. I am from a head full of photos, lost memories, and dreams. I am from a heart with experience, in sorrow and joy, that holds me together, and keeps everything else.

Where I'm From
When I'm in my house near to the lake, I love to watch the blue rain drops swirling in quiet circles on the lake surface, As if your fingers touching my skin, provoking feelings and colorful spin in my stomach... When I'm in my house near to the lake, I watch the little stones in my zen garden imagining the silence of the high Planets listening the cooper bells gentle voice singing, somewhere a sudden noise of bird moving the green leaves with her wings As if with you on the grass relaxing, with closed eyes, your silence is melody which melts my heart inside... -nour- June-013

Lake ~
I love the way you throw your hand out the window when you drive; Careless and free, feeling the rush of wind pass through the space between your fingers, the earth’s breath kissing your knuckles. I love the way you go barefoot when we walk through the woods. People passing by throw strange glances your way, and you tell them they’d understand, if only they took their shoes off too. They do not know the softness of pine needles under bare toes. They have no connection with the ground under their feet, it does not speak to them how it does to you. I love the way you sing with your eyes closed, focused on the sound of the drums, the sound of that ancient heartbeat. The language sliding off your tongue a victorious cry that we are still here, and we haven’t forgotten. They may have tried to pry it from our lips, but songs fly up from your lungs, like sparks from a fire that is still burning strong. I love the way you laugh, throwing your head back, letting loose your joy into the air, pollinating the space nearby with your hard-earned light. The world may be a dark place, but you cast that brilliance wherever you can, and it gets a little brighter. -Emma Cooper

Mini Cooper
The monsters don't hide in the closet, or under the bed, or in your head all full of juice. They roost. It's not their fault, following through with some innate longing they're called to. It's a simple, impish existence, these monsters, who might prefer to be doctors or lawyers or sound designers for Alice Cooper or Rob Zombie or Blondie; alas they burrow and nest inside my ***** laundry. A wise person might have said, "Take care, kiddo, and guard your head against the evil that so easily nestles there." I reflect on this through the cloudy density of my beer an wonder, could he have been right? Might I fallen intrigued, ensnared, by the casual taunt of an apple's dare?   We climb the beanstalk for the giant only; the goose is second hand. The giant's defeat is the glory. It doesn't matter what the stakes contain, live or die, princess or mother or cow or land, as long as a marching band greets us at the end of the ride. The monsters don't hide in the closet, or under the bed or in you head full of juice. They roost, and they can't help us themselves in a world full of books gathering dust on shelves overlooked where their hardcovers guard against  stray shells unloosed.

Seven minutes in heaven A game kids use to play I got my turn one warm summer day It was meant as a joke Just kids being mean Sweet Susie Cooper When I was only thirteen I felt sorry for her, locked in a closet with me The geek, the dork, full of anxiety Six long minutes together Alone in the dark Then from out of nowhere I felt a spark Just before the door opened Sweet Susie, She kissed me And broke my heart

I would like to say that I know everything about you. But sadly, that's not true. I may know that, you don't believe in love, and that body image   doesn't matter to you, and that you want to have   a love child with Anderson Cooper. But I don't know the simple things. We never once talked about what your favorite color is. Or what animal it is you like best. I'm not sure what your favorite food is or what you like for desert. I know that, you like to do math   for fun,   and that you used to be in little league. I remember you telling me   you once climbed a mango tree, and that's time   you found out you were allergic. I know that you pronounce 'English' with an 'a' at the beginning, and "secretly, I bought this song" when Starships by Nicki Minaj came on during the school dance. I know so much about you more than anyone really. But I wish I knew   what your favorite color is, and what animal it is you like best. But, it seems a little too late to be asking such simple questions now, doesn't it.

Seven born to a home in the hills Lost in the waste that time kills Each segregated to a different day Or so at least some say Anthony couldn’t help but fall Built too tall As he hit his head upon a door Running adjacent to the floor Young Mr. Cooper took form And quickly ran to his scholarly dorm On the way he transgressed to A fellow who Used to dwell in the same domicile Until he felt the environment was too vile Fled the scene in the matter of a moment Not knowing there wasn’t an opponent. Reluctant to turn around With no answer found Another division began to develop One, which was quick to envelope Everything the boy thought And freedom sought The new guy Stephan sold the car Got a job at a bar Cleaning up there every morning While other livers were still in mourning He had to remove the lingering drunks Still caught up in their mid life flunks One always takes a swing Ben Gunn wakes up feeling the sting In panic he flees Watching passing tress Tracing the trail of something known The place he called home. Once in sight This personality takes flight Out steps Dewey Dell, Who looks like a glimpse of hell Takes a nap to restore His body, which felt quite poor He had expected to awaken The boy was mistaken Waking up on the cliff Was a boy named Winston Smith A devotee to a righteous cause He just didn’t know what it was Spent his days inside a pew Surrounded by slim to few As answers ceaselessly taunt Halls made to haunt Without hope he grew less attached And quickly became Anthony Patch.

I Never was a huge fan of crowds 144 souls in tow, on the shoulders of two Floating just above a sea of clouds You never know What humans may do I'm free up here, gliding through the air Enjoy a free drink, and just let the pilots care Captain D.B. Cooper flying only god knows where Tray tables are stowed,happily reclined in my chair I pray that heaven has no bag fees And no security checks please No need to wait in any lines And no fasten seat belt signs Strap in for life, there will be immense turbulence All the more rewarding, dog"s first time over the fence So seize thy day, for it's your vessel alone that you're commanding So flight attendants don't even think about preparing for landing

DONT DO DRUGS KIDS
“A demagogue, in the strict signification of the word, is a 'leader of the rabble'.”                         — James Fenimore Cooper, "On Demagogues" a political leader who seeks support by appealing to popular desires & prejudices rather than by using rational argument; A demagogue or rabble-rouser is a leader in a democracy who gains popularity by exploiting prejudice & ignorance among the common people, whipping up the passions of the crowd & shutting down reasoned deliberations; rabble-rouser, agitator, political agitator, soapbox orator, firebrand, fomenter, provocateur "he was drawn into a circle of campus demagogues" Only in ancient Greece and Rome was it a leader or orator who espoused the cause of the common people; demagogues overturn established customs of political conduct, or promise or threaten to do so; demagogues have appeared in democracies since ancient Athens. They exploit a fundamental weakness in democracy: because ultimate power is held by the people, it is possible for the people to give that power to someone who appeals   to the lowest common denominator of a large segment of the population; demagogues usually advocate immediate, forceful action to address a national crisis while accusing moderate & thoughtful opponents                                        of weakness or disloyalty

On Demagogues 2018
The lightning forks forth Shoots Up north Like spindly shafts in Perfect formation. Strange synchronization In Martian formalization-- Grasped in nightmarish, Garish mitts of particular Deviant sensations... Little Alice enters her Wonderland, Not by the rabbit’s hole-- Rather a guillotine’s hand... Her Wonderland; This dreamscape quicksand-- With snakes writhing; convulsing on lurid Inferno bandstands, Pushing the limits of your understand-- With preposterous and impossible socks; Technically causing bruising on acid brains. Meanwhile The Martian walks the streets Of the Big Apple in A deep diver’s suit, Picking along his way, low hanging and Chromium laden passion fruit... And Alice, she like what she sees. She likes the alien’s helicopter breeze-- She’s all about melting clocks draped upon Bristlecone Pine trees-- And she’s going to fly into the mouth of the Martian’s galactic lion, and **** on it’s liver.
