I am looking for information on what area of Finland this name comes from. My great grandfather Mike (Mika or Mikko?) was the last known member of my family that I know of to use the name. When he immigrated to the US, he was forced to shorten it to Jarve in order to find work. Jarve is a fairly uncommon name as it is and I'm having a hard time finding sources that would help me find his place of origin. Does anyone have any advice or know anything about my family?

Me, being one of those guy's that become the fence for the Atheist and Theist to argue over, is like being-known for some terminal-illness we possess.

I remember an 'Advil' commercial, where the lady at the end states, "I have arthritis, but it doesn't have me!!"...

Shouldn't our beliefs be treated the same way, at least in the relationship of our idenities.

Prepare for Battle, Gents, the enemy is about, ....

"No son, I don't know what the enemy looks like, just shoot at whatever crosses your path allright??"

"But dad, what if you cross my path?"

"That's it, give me that rifle, you ignoramus, you!!??"

"Sorrrrryyyy?!!?"

can some1 help me analyze this poem by TS elliot?

Morning at the Window by TS Elliot

THEY are rattling breakfast plates in basement kitchens,
And along the trampled edges of the street
I am aware of the damp souls of housemaids
Sprouting despondently at area gates.

The brown waves of fog toss up to me
Twisted faces from the bottom of the street,
And tear from a passer-by with muddy skirts
An aimless smile that hovers in the air
And vanishes along the level of the roofs.

Answer the question any way you want. You can be specific or general, serious or joking, deep or shallow. But make sure you answer the question: WHY do you deserve what you want?

This question does not violate the terms of service. Obviously, Yahoo is a puppet of mainstream brainwashing media, since they deleted my first question. This is a legitimate question.

UPDATED POEM:

The silver stream...

Glowing, Slowly & silently,
A young girl
Walks the night in her silver shoes
All she see's is
Silver fruit upon silver trees;
One by one her silhouette catches
Her eyes shine beneath the silvery light
This way, and that, she peers, and sees,
Couched in his kennel, like a log
With paws of silver sleeps the dog;
From their shadowy cote the white breasts peep
Of doves in a silver-feathered sleep;
A harvest mouse goes scampering
With silver claws and a silver eye
While moveless fish in the water gleam
By silver reeds in a silver stream.

I bought a set of whats claimed to be IR Glasses, but it turns everything blue/purple. Even the lense says its UV 400.

No doubt, it doesn't let visible light through as it only permited a red LED on my microwave, but not the Green LED at the same brightness.

So, can some 1 tell me if this is IR or UV.

Descriptions:
When i look at a light bulb ( white-yellow to pink/purple)
Moon (White to blue purple)

Thanks

Frozen
Fall withers away with every flake,
Taking the biggest step anything could take,
Coming down bit by bit,
Falls immortality shatters with the new ice,
Soon white fluff shall cover the ground,
Their parka fur around their necks,
Bouncing with the beat,
Kids will run round,
Begging for some other sound,
But the icy unbearable wind of winter,
As snow fills up so much of the sky,
You can no longer see the dipper.
The temperature drops,
So do the happy faces of the children,
Whose faces are now white instead of pink,
Their bodies sprinkle the ground galore,
In little groups of three or four,
None of which are ever found,
Till the day the mercy for the kids,
Made the wind stop all its sound,
And it mourned for them and for all in the town,
Suddenly saddened faces of all the small ones,
Seemed to be at peace,
Never feeling anymore grief.

tears run,
down in streams,
across my face,
and in my dreams.

fear is held in every drop,
rolling down,
it doesnt stop,

its okay,
it is fine,
in my mind,
it passes time

youll never find,
this rivers mouth,
water never flowed,
in my lifes drought.



on the last 4 lines i cant seem to make what im trying to say work.... some help there please? and opinions about it.

The ever-presence of God is all around us, yet we do not always see Him.

When our egos do sense His presence, His Truth is felt as anxiety, fear and guilt, a reality we are too ashamed to face.
Escaping, we reach for the security of our culture-hypnotics; friends, pleasure, church, music, drug, drink.

What are we really doing when we are escaping like this ?

Are we not escaping from the ever-presence informing reality, the Truth who is trying to set you free?

You see, our vanity does not allow us to be still and know this truth, for then we would become aware of the folly of pride, of what failures we have become at the hands of our lovers, leaders and problem-solvers.

Do you think its time to wake up from your illusion to Reality, now?

What say you all?

I am writing a story and believe that I have come up with a good plot line. However, I am not sure if my characters actions are illegal or just immoral. I thought of calling a lawyer, but I would not be able to pay for a consultation. What other sources are there?

*****

Me sheeps have strayed into pinfold
And now the pinder wants paid
Me pockets turned out
Left him no doubt
There’d be mutton for dinner today

I asked what else could dissuade him
A note or an I.O.U.
He said with a shout
“Get yer’ fiddle out”
“And play us a tune or two”

I sang a song of merry old stooges
And tom-toms played on the moon
Like tile rearranged
A free man’s loose change
An a bell, quite peachie
