Dragon-Marked War God - Chapter 1858
The Ancient Secret
Han Yan and the few of them were laughing mercilessly. This was what some called 'instant karma'. Dragon Shisan was laughing at Jiang Chen a moment ago before the same fate fell upon him.
"What are you all laughing about? Only one of my ears is pulled. I'm still better than Little Chen!" Dragon Shisan shouted.
"What are you saying? Are you asking me to pull that other ear of yours?" Lan Lingji exerted even more strength.
My god! Dragon Shisan only then realize that he had spoken the wrong words and didn't have time to recover his words. Lan Lingji had clutched his other ear, causing him to wail incessantly on the stage.
He tried to weep but failed to shed a tear. It wasn't false at all that women were as fierce as tigers. Don't be deceived by their gentle looks as they could be even more ferocious than tigers. This had happened even before the wedding. How his life would be after they had gotten married?
The whole martial arena was filled with laughter, replacing all the tension in the atmosphere with cheerfulness, like nothing had happened. As today was the wedding ceremony, they were naturally in a jubilant mood. Jiang Chen and Dragon Shisan might look ill-treated, but the sweetness they felt in their hearts made them joyous. This was what they called 'true love'.
First: pray to the Heavens and Earth……
Second: pray to the groom's parents and family elders……
The joyful atmosphere made the whole Exquisite Paradise lively. Jiang Chen didn't have a chance to join their celebration, as he was pulled by the two girls to a deserted place.
After leaving the scene, the three of them returned to normal, which was what Jiang Chen had dreamt of. To him, the most important thing was that they had finally reunited.
What made Jiang Chen somewhat depressed was that the two chose to ignore him. They sat on a huge rock, chatting fervently with one another, treating Jiang Chen as though he was air.
Jiang Chen made a few attempts to join in the conversation but failed miserably.
Seeing that the two girls having such a good relationship relieved his worries, however. Although both of them had different identities, one was the reincarnation of an Empress, while the other was the inheritor of a Great Sovereign, and both of them had lofty status, there was no sense of awkwardness between them. They were as close as they had been when they were still in Saint Origin World.
"Sister Ning, will the Golden Clan reappear once again?"
I could no longer hold it anymore, Jiang Chen sat beside Wu Ningzhu and asked. This was what he wanted to know the most. Back in Golden Horizon, Big Yellow had asked him to protect those golden guards at all costs and mentioned that the Golden Clan wasn't extinct and would return to the world sooner or later. If it wasn't for protecting those golden guards, Jiang Chen wouldn't have created such a huge conflict with the three Immortal Courts.
"That's right. The people of Golden Clan have only been asleep. They weren't annihilated. It was the doing of the Golden Sovereign. He has sealed the entire Golden Clan, so that his clan could find its own path in the future. That year, the Golden Clan had suffered heavy casualties, and Golden Sovereign used the Temporal Resurrection Technique to seal the entire clan. Countless years have passed. The people of the Golden Clan are about to wake from their deep slumber."
Wu Ningzhu spoke. She had obtained the inheritance and integrated with the memory of Empress Xiao Yao. She now possessed the complete bloodline of the Golden Clan and was considered one of the clan's members. Which explained why she had a clear understanding of the Golden Clan.
"It seems what Big Yellow said is right. The Golden Clan wasn't truly eradicated, but has been frozen in time. It's only a matter of time before the Golden Clan return to this world, but I would like to know what catastrophe happened in the Immortal World before."
Jiang Chen asked. This secret had been a knot in his heart and he wasn't able to find an answer to it. At that time, Big Yellow didn't tell him because he wasn't strong enough and only left the name of a place, Desolate Ancient Land, before he vanished. Now that both Yan Chenyu and Wu Ningzhu had integrated with the memory of a Great Sovereign, the details of the catastrophe shouldn't be any sort of secret to them.
"Brother Chen, it has been such a long time. Since then, major changes have taken place in the Immortal World. That havoc has long become a secret ever since. Only very few people know about it, but Sister Ning and I have decided to tell you about it." Yan Chenyu spoke, her tone suddenly turning grim.
"Yes, because the catastrophe is arriving in this world soon, perhaps in a year or five years' time or even ten years' time. In short, there will be no peace in the Immortal World the moment it arrives. So it's good for you to know about it in advance. The Golden Clan will return to the Immortal World before the arrival of the catastrophe. I think this was what the Golden Sovereign wanted. He had expected this to take place tens of thousands of years ago, that the second catastrophe will hit us," said Wu Ningzhu.
"What kind of catastrophe is it?"
Jiang Chen was astounded, his expression turning serious. It was imaginable that there would be bloodshed and chaos during the coming disaster.
"Not far away from the Immortal World is another world. They called it the Barbarian World in ancient times. There lived a race named the Barbarian Race. The Barbarian Race looked like humans but they worshiped Barbarian Beasts. Their bloodline is incomparably strong. They were bloodthirsty, belligerent and liked to invade and plunder. During ancient times, for unknown reasons, a crack had appeared in the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal World, giving them the chance to invade our world, which then led to a massive disaster. The bloodline of the Barbarian Race is different from the Devil and Demon Race. This race is very powerful and only very few people could suppress them. Only those with the true bloodline of Divine Beast could restrain them. But there weren't many Divine Beasts across the world. The only powerful clan in this world is the Golden Clan as they had inherited the bloodline of the Divine Bird Golden Crow. As such, the Golden Clan had become the biggest rival of the Barbarian Race. The scene you saw in the Great Thousand Mirror was the scene of the Barbarian Race attacking the Golden Clan, also the last war between the two worlds. That was when Empress Xiao Yao had fallen."
Wu Ningzhu explained everything she saw in her memory. Having entered the remains of Empress Xiao Yao at that time, she knew everything that happened in Golden Horizon.
"I see. So that was how it all happened."
Jiang Chen sighed. Despite the seeing the tragic scenes in the Great Thousand Mirror, he couldn't see the faces of the enemies clearly. After listening to what Wu Ningzhu had said, only now did he know that those blurry faces belonged to the people of the Barbarian Race.

- Exclusive Myo-IsaLean Complex™: A proprietary blend comprised of undenatured whey protein, milk protein concentrate, and nonfat dry milk. All of our dairy proteins come from "Cheerful Certified" dairy cows that are pasture raised and not treated with routine antibiotics or hormones.
A Low-Glycemic Nutritional Profile Offers Slowly Absorbed Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates, which include sugars, are the preferred source of fuel for your brain and immune system. However, a high dose of refined sugars can cause your blood sugar to spike and then crash, leaving you feeling fatigued, hungry, and unsatisfied.
For the purpose of helping you stay energized yet keeping blood sugar in check, it's important to choose meal replacements that are tested for their glycemic response. For example, Isagenix IsaLean meal replacement options are tested and labeled as "low-glycemic" referring to the slower rate that the carbohydrates are absorbed from these foods.
- Fructose: Fructose is found naturally in fruits and vegetables, and unlike other sources of simple sugars it is low-glycemic. In addition fructose is also a little sweeter than other sources of sugar, providing a naturally sweet taste with less use of sugar overall.
- Tapioca maltodextrin: Tapioca maltodextrin is a source of slowly digested, complex-carbohydrate that also helps round out the flavor of the shake.
A Combination of Good Fats Offers Proper Digestion, Nutrient Absorption, and Health
Getting enough of the right kinds of fat every day is an important part of any healthy diet. IsaLean Shake is equipped with 6 grams of good fats, supplied for optimal nutrition from sources like olive oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, and palm kernel oil, to name a few. Fats are crucial not only for proper digestion and absorption of some vitamins, but also for many different body functions. Isagenix users can be confident knowing that they are getting proper amounts of fats from good sources.
- Olive oil powder: The main source of fat in the IsaLean Shakes, Soups, and Bars because of its naturally high composition of monounsaturated fatty acids, specifically oleic acid.
- Sunflower oil powder: Extracted from the seeds of sunflowers, sunflower oil is a rich source of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats.
- Flaxseed extract: A high-quality source of alpha-linoleic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid.
- Medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil: Extracted from coconuts, it is a source of fat that is more rapidly absorbed and used as energy because of its relatively smaller chain length and is a readily available source of fuel for the body.
Dietary Fiber Supports Your Gut
Fiber is an important aspect of any diet because it helps with satiety and helps promote digestive regularity. Unfortunately, most people fail to consume adequate fiber in their diet (5). Working to help close this gap, each IsaLean Shake supplies 8 grams of fiber.
- Isomaltooligosaccharide powder: A natural digestion-resistant starch that acts as a prebiotic fiber, supporting the growth of beneficial bacteria.
- Yucca root powder: The tuberous root of the yucca plant, native to the Mojave Desert, is naturally rich in dietary fiber.
- Psyllium seed powder: An herbaceous plant with seeds that are a rich source of bulk-forming fiber.
It Also Includes Digestive Enzymes and Probiotics
Consuming a healthy meal is important, but your body needs to be able to break down and use the nutrients from it. That is why IsaLean Shake comes with its own blend of enzymes to ensure that your body is getting the most out of each sip. The active enzymes in combination with probiotics in IsaLean Shake also supports gastric health and digestive regularity.
- Enzyme blend: A blend of digestive enzymes incorporated into IsaLean Shake to aide absorption and digestion of macronutrients.
- Bromelain and papain: A mixture of protein-digesting (proteolytic) enzymes naturally found in pineapples (bromelain) and papayas (papain).
- Lactobacillus acidophilus: A beneficial bacteria belonging to the genus Lactobacillus that resides in the GI tract and is commonly found in dairy products like yogurt.
A Full Spectrum of Vitamins and Minerals
With 23 vitamins and minerals, IsaLean Shake provides the micronutrients that are seriously lacking in a typical diet. Getting a full spectrum of vitamins and minerals in one meal is hard to do, but near impossible in under 250 calories per meal. IsaLean Shakes truly provide maximum nutrition in minimal calories.
- Magnesium oxide, magnesium citrate: A source of magnesium, an essential electrolyte mineral.
- Ascorbic Acid: Also known as vitamin C, a water-soluble vitamin and antioxidant.
- Biotin: A water-soluble nutrient belonging to the B group vitamins.
- Selenium: A trace mineral that acts as a cofactor of antioxidant enzymes.
- Vitamin E: A fat-soluble nutrient with antioxidant properties.

Flavor Gives It Character
No matter how good for you something may be, you probably aren't going to drink it if it doesn't taste good. When creating each IsaLean Shake, taste was taken into careful consideration. There are no artificial flavorings or sweeteners added to enhance the flavor of any Isagenix products. IsaLean Shakes include only natural flavorings:
- Natural Flavoring: "Natural flavors" is a regulated industry term used to define flavorings that are created using only components found in nature. They are generally made up of essential oils, essences or extracts, fruit juices, and spices. For more information, check out this article.
- Xanthan gum: A natural gum that acts as a soluble fiber and is used as a thickener in IsaLean Shakes and Soups.
- Stevia leaf extract: A South American herb that is naturally sweeter than sugar and provides no calories.
Other Ingredients Help with Manufacturing
- Silicon Dioxide: A naturally occurring mineral that is used as an anticaking agent that helps maintain the proper texture of IsaLean Shake.
- Magnesium stearate: A vegetable-derived salt used during the manufacturing of the shake.
A No-Compromise Quality Shake
When it comes to creating each product, we follow the Isagenix No-Compromise Quality Policy. These stringent quality standards start with the selection and rigorous testing of each individual raw material. It's an extensive and thorough process, set up to ensure our commitment to the highest standards of manufacturing and quality assurance.

Going ashore in Visakhapatnam, India
Visakhapatnam is located on the East Coast of India and it is the largest city of the Indian State of Andhra Pradesh. Its port is one of the largest in India, being the biggest natural harbor on the East coast. Going out of the port of Visakhapatnam is quite a challenge for any seafarer, but nevertheless a rewarding experience, especially for those in search of the real taste and flavors of India.
On board our HS Columbia, we visited the port of Visakhapatnam twice, during the months of November and December and each time we were able to go out for a few hours.
Inside the port, walking is not allowed, so the seafarers have to rely on the shuttle bus service – which must be called upon.
At the gate, the shore passes must be checked in three different places (at exiting and entering as well) – immigration office, custom office and security officer – and this process can last up to one hour, especially if you are part of a larger group.
As soon as you get out of the port, you have a wide display of transportation to choose from – taxis, motorbikes or rickshaws. Most of the drivers will ask a lot of money for a ride to the centre, but negotiation is in power and you should never agree to pay more than 20-25$ one way. Sometimes, they will ask the price in accordance with the number of passengers and they will accept 10-15$/per person, for a return ride, including 2-3 hours of waiting.
If you have the time and curiosity, you can venture yourself into the city for 2-3 hours, but be sure not to miss the fish market, the open market and the central beach.
The fish market is the first thing you will see when your vessel approaches the pier because it is located opposite de port.
It is also the first 'thing' you will smell when you reach the gate because it is at a walking distance fromit (a maximum 5- minute walk). The smell of fish – especially dry – combined with the smell of garbage is something you will never forget and probably never want to experience again.
The best time of the day to visit the fish market is early morning. If you want to buy, or only to admire, you will find here a very wide display of fishes of all sizes and colours – fresh, dried or smoked – seafood and seaweed.
Most of the fish is sold directly from the fishing boats moored at the pier, but some is on display down, on the pavement, as well… a certainly not inviting image for the European eyes.
The market is full of life in the morning, lots of vendors and buyers roam around, struggling to sell and buy at the most convenient prices, some argue and refuse the products just to accept them a few minutes later, after the price was cut or others leave the market screaming and threatening without buying anything. It's just a very interesting show to watch, a very good place to admire and understand the locals and their struggles for everyday life. You can choose to be a part of it – and buy like anyone else, after negotiating – or you can accept the first price they will utter and miss all the fun. You will end up paying 25$ for a kilo of huge shrimps, when the real price is only 15 (or even 12) and you will still be content with it, knowing that in Europe, the price may be even double.
After the fish market, you can move to your next destination – the open fruit market. The ride will take up to 15 minutes and it will offer you an incredible image of India. The traffic is a total chaos, lots of cars, motorbikes and auto rickshaws are struggling hard to find their way while people and cows are roaming around as well.
The horn is everything you will hear during the ride, the stronger the horn, the faster the car. But, relax! The journey is part of your adventure, so be sure to enjoy it because nowhere in the world you will see anything like this.
The open market offers a wide range of fresh fruits and vegetables, dried fruits, handicraft, traditional clothes and shoes, leather articles, souvenirs. These products are on display on wooden tables and carts, inside a close space – under a roof – or outside, directly on the pavement.
If your time allows it, you can have a walk along one of the many beaches in town and even touch the warm waters of the Bay of Bengal (the closest beach is Radha Beach). Here you will find a lot of people – mostly young – having fun and socializing, lots of vendors and lots of piles of garbage as well. This is India. Interesting. Incredible. Amazing.
Useful Information:
– If you decide to buy fresh fish, you have to know that you are allowed to bring as many kilos as you want inside the port, you can even leave your bags at the gate and take them back after you visited the city;
– If you want to go to the open market – to buy fruits and souvenirs – you have to tell this to the driver and be sure that he understood it correctly. Otherwise, he will take you to the Mall and the last thing you want to see is a Mall with European clothes which are sold for incredibly high prices;
– In the open market, the prices are negotiable and the vendors are, sometimes, too pushy. If you do not want to buy anything, you have to be strict and determined, otherwise you will be followed everywhere by vendors – mostly kids – ready to offer you something you need, or you don't.
– You will need local money to pay for your shopping – especially if you buy only a kilo or 2 of fruits. If you buy more, then you can negotiate and pay in dollars. In the fish market, some of the vendors will accept dollars, but only bills of 10, 20 or 50, preferably without giving you a change. So, if you want to buy only a kilo of something, be ready to pay a round amount of money for it or choose some more products in order to pay a round bill. To change money, you can ask the driver to take you to a an exchange shop in town.
– Everywhere around you, there are poor people begging for money. Most of them are kids, very poorly dressed, barefoot and skinny. Poverty is at home everywhere in India and it is very difficult to pretend not to see it. Giving money to the beggars may improve their life for a moment – for an hour or so – but it will not change it. If you want to give money to them, you have to know the risks you put yourself to. Giving money to one beggar will not put an end to the process, on the contrary, you will be surrounded by others, and others, until you have no other escape than run away or call the cops (we witnessed a scene like this). The beggars have no limit, they will become very pushy and demanding, harassing you and even hitting you, if you do not give them what they ask. If you want to contribute a little to the well being of the locals, be sure to buy only local products, souvenirs made by hand by the local artisans, beverages sold by people pushing carts – instead of buying them from the big shops (malls).

Y'all I can't explain it. I woke up with the biggest sense of calm and release and pure happiness. I might have a hole in my leg but my God I'm happy.
I have yet again been reminded that I am worth so much more than others made me feel that I was worth. I have been reminded that I was the "settler" in my relationship with B and he was the "reacher." My prayers have been answered and I am happy. I'm more complete now than I ever was with him. Thank you Lord!

The Basics of Organic Farming Certification
Organic farming certification is an essential procedure in the selling of organic products. When organic farming was still starting out, there were no organic farming certification bodies back then because organic products can be easily bought from a nearby local grower. However, as the organic market expanded, the supply chained became more complicated and therefore some products can become marketed as organic when in fact they are not. Organic farming certification is made to assure to consumers the validity of the organic products that are being sold.
Organic farming certification is typically conducted by an organization that functions as a third-party agent. The job of that certification body is to evaluate producers, processors, and handlers if they follow the set of operating guidelines for organic standards. Once the organic certification body confirms that the organic farm indeed conformed to the organic standards, they are then allowed to use the organization's logo, product statement, and certificate when marketing their products, in order to guarantee to the consumer that they are truly organic. And as the logo of the certification agency is used by the producer, the certification body also guarantees the organic legitimacy of these products.
Farmers can get organic farming certification from two kinds of certification bodies: state-run agriculture department certifiers and private-run certifiers. Farmers who plan on being certified by private-run certifiers must make certain that the agency they are intending to apply in must be qualified by their national government, and in the case of United States, by the National Organic Program. The farmer then submits an application to the certification body, along with detailed information about his or her farm. After the application has been approved, the producer's farm will then be subjected to an on-site inspection. An inspector will visit the farm and check it if it abides by the organic standards.
Farmers who are planning to get organic farming certification are encouraged to check out the different certification services since not all of them are the same. Additionally, there is a fee for certification so they have to make sure that the agency is indeed the most appropriate certifier for their products.

We are excited to be working once again with the Duchess and her team at Chatsworth. Our project this time is to transform the old Coach House, into four bespoke bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms will be designed as accessible rooms.
Previously occupied, the Coach House is adjacent to the Grade II listed Cavendish Hotel and the bedrooms will come under the Hotel's wing.
Our design intent is classic, traditional comfort, familiar to guests who have stayed at the Cavendish Hotel itself. Similar to the rooms we completed at Devonshire Pilsley, furnishings and décor will be a combination of Chatsworth antiques and new pieces.
Design work is well underway and we anticipate being on site in the autumn.

A Fairy Good Friend
Posted by Unknown
Belles n Whistles stamps are in the house at Beary Scrap! And since we are continuing with our nature challenge, I knew that A Fairy Good Friend would be a great choice. Continuing with the fairy theme (LOL), I used the Fairy Flora paper from Prima. The snail's shell is paper pieced, and his body was coated with Glossy Accents. I added a seam binding bow, with a vintage button and Tim Holtz charm.
There is still plenty of time to join our challenge if you haven't already!

That sound you just heard was me falling out of my chair. The snail body is deliciously ... slimy... and oh so cute! Glossy Accents is a brilliant idea and definitely inspires me to think outside the box. Love it!
Oh, and the wee little girl is adorable, too. :)

Meet the Maker
JOM Organic were created by the candy obsessed Swedish sister duo Anna and Josefin. Having worked with confectionery for nearly eight years in London they noticed that more and more people (including themselves) wanted a better candy option. That was the beginning of their journey to create JOM Organic.
They believe it should be easy to make sustainable choices in our everyday lives. Even when it comes to candy. The earth is great place, but as most things, it can always get a bit better! That's why it was a natural choice for them to create a candy that's not only organic and vegan, but also doesn't contain any palm oil or other nasties.
The result is a ridiculously delicious candy with a perfect chewy texture and lip smacking flavours. They're so good, there's always room for just one more…

I'm going to answer a question I get at least once per month. It usually goes something like this: "I'm really introverted and not a go-getter; do I have any chance at succeeding in private practice?"
My answer is "Absolutely!"
Sometimes, people read my story and think I'm going to preach my personal (outgoing, extroverted) avenue towards building. Here's the thing: my personal way works for the people it works for–people who can't get enough of people.
I have other tricks up my sleeve for folks who get burned out by people. I want you to be good at your job and good at life and burning yourself out will not work.
Not Better, Just Different
Let me clarify that "go-getter" is not better, just different. Yes, we may get more done faster, but possibly too hastily. On an average day, my decision making takes about five minutes tops. Trying to decide stresses me out. Quick decision + action + figure it out if it tanks isn't always the best strategy. Getting lost in decision making isn't helpful either, but there's a lovely middle ground in there, I bet.
So, not a go-getter? No problem. Sometimes there's a bit of making yourself do things that are scary or putting yourself out there in a way that is not your norm. As a competent therapist who made it through grad school and has the uncomfortable conversations that come up in life, you already have this down. You don't have to hustle if hustling isn't in your nature.
In fact, I will argue that trying to do things that are of someone else's nature and not your own is a sure fire way to fail.
Here's why you may even be better suited to private practice than an extroverted Type A like me:
- You know how to pace yourself. I hope you know how much of a strength this is. It's like burn-out prevention is built into your DNA as long as you build your practice in a way that's true to you.
- The loneliness I used to feel in private practice doesn't feel like loneliness to you; it feels comfortable.
- You don't talk your partner's/roommate's ear off when you get off of work because you haven't been able to talk about what you want to talk about all day.
- You don't overwhelm people with your energy.
- You don't have to hyper-regulate around your anxious clients to keep from activating them more.
- You naturally take more time to self-reflect, re-evaluate and check in.
- Your identity doesn't hinge on achievement in the same way. Of course you want to succeed and you will, but you're less attached to each little sign that that success is on it's way.
- With the advent of social media and websites, you can "be seen" in ways that are more permanent and less fleeting. And you will probably think about what to write instead of hastily responding like I might.
Are you feeling like it's more doable? I really, really hope so.
For those of you who don't fit in to the introverted, non-go-getter category, don't worry. You're going to be great, too. I just wanted to take some time to reassure the folks who tend to reach out with the most self-doubt.

Introduction: How to Remove a Stuck Drill Chuck
Most drill chucks come off their drills using normal chuck removal methods, like the chuck removal steps we offer in our article, "How to Remove a Drill Chuck."
However, drill chucks can be difficult to remove for a number reasons that require an extra trick or two to get the job done.
The steps and suggestions below explain how to remove keyless drill chucks from drills with broken gear boxes. We also explain how to remove sticky chuck screws.
See this article's repair video for a professional demonstration!
How to Separate a Chuck Collar from a Drill Chuck
Our example drill in this article came into the shop with its gearbox already broken.
In cases like these, drill chucks usually come off the drill with the arbor shaft and chuck collar still attached to the chuck. The first step to remove the chuck then is to first take its collar off.
Step 1: Use a Pair of Snap Ring Pliers to Remove the Snap Ring
Getting that snap ring out will allow the chuck collar to pop off when we press it off of the chuck.
Step 2: Press the Chuck Out With a Shop Press
- Position the drill chuck collar between clam shells for support, align a punch on the chuck's arbor shaft, and then press it out.
- Pressing the arbor shaft will take the drill chuck with it, leaving the chuck's lower collar behind.
Step 3: How to Remove a Drill Chuck From Its Arbor Shaft
1. Flatten the arbor shaft with a grinder and grinding wheel.
The arbor shaft must be placed into a vise in order to remove the chuck screw. The shaft will have to be made flat on at least two sides to accommodate the vise.
Be careful to avoid touching the arbor shaft while it is still hot.
Step 4: Title This StepSecure the Flattened Chuck Spindle in a Vise and Unscrew the Chuck Screw
- Remember that chuck screws are reverse threaded, so you must turn them in the direction of the drill's forward position.
- Because chuck screws are usually held into position with loctite, it often takes a lot of force to turn them.
Step 5: Tighten a Large Allen Key Into the Chuck
Image Example
Step 6: Turn the Allen Key to Spin the Chuck Off the Arbor Shaft
Unscrewing the chuck is easy with the help of a "cheater bar."
Step 7: Tips to Remove a Stuck Chuck Screw
Follow the professional repair tips below for to remove a stuck chuck screw.
Tip #1- Heat the arbor shaft.
Use a blowtorch on the arbor shaft to loosen up the loctite on the chuck screw. This is the best way to loosen the screw in most cases.
Really tough chuck screws may require more than one heating.
Tip #2- Use a wrench for leverage.
If the screwdriver you're using to turn the chuck screw has a square shaft, you can attach a small wrench to it for some extra leverage.
Tip #3- Strike the chuck screw with a screwdriver and hammer.
Carefully position your screwdriver on the chuck screw and gently strike its end with a hammer to loosen the screw's loctite bond.
This should be considered a last-resort method since it risks destroying the chuck if done incorrectly.

I always wanted to give birth
Do that incredible natural thing
That women do-I nearly broke down
When I heard we couldn't
And then my man said to me
Well there's always adoption
(we didn't have test tubes and the rest
then) and well even in the early sixties there was something
Scandalous about adopting
Telling the world your secret failure
Bringing up an alien child
Who knew what it would turn out to be?
But I wanted a baby badly
Didn't need to come from my womb
Or his seed for me to love it
And I had sisters who looked just like me
Didn't need carbon copy features
Blueprints for generations
It was my baby a baby a baby I wanted
So I watched my child grow
Always the first to hear her in the night
All this umbilical knot business is
Nonsense-the men can afford deeper sleeps
That's all. I listened to hear her talk
And when she did I heard my voice under hers
And now some of her mannerisms
Crack me up
All them stories could have really had me
Believing unless you are breast fed
You'll never be close and the rest
My daughter's warmth spills over me
Leaves a gap
When she's gone
I think of her mother. She remembers how I read her
All those newspaper and magazine
Cuttings about adoption
She says her head's an encyclopedia
Of sob stories: the ones that were never
Told and committed suicide on their wedding nights
I always believed in the telling anyhow
You can't keep something like that secret
I wanted her to think of her other mother
Out there thinking that child I had will be
Eight today nine today all the way up to
God knows when. I told my daughter;
I bet your mother's never missed your birthday
How could she
Now when people say ah but
It's not like having your own child though is it
I say of course it is what else is it
She's my child I have brought her up
Told her stories wept at losses
Laughed at her pleasures she is mine.
Yes. Well maybe that is why I don't
Like all this talk about her being black
I brought her up as my own
As I would any other child
Colour matters to the nuttters
But she says my daughter says
It matters to her.
I suppose there would have been things
I couldn't have understood with any child
We knew she was coloured
They told us they had no babies at first
And I chanced to say it didn't matter
What colour it was and then they
Said oh well are you sure in that case
We have a baby for you
To think she wasn't even thought of as a baby!
My baby my baby.
How they strut about, people in love,
How tall they grow, pleased with themselves,
Their hair, glossy, their skin shining.
They don't remember who they have been.
How filmic they are just for this time.
How important they've become - secret, above
The order of things, the dreary mundane.
Every church bell ringing, a fresh sign.
How dull the lot that are not in love.
Their clothes shabby, their skin lustreless;
How clueless they are, hair a mess; how they trudge
Up and down the streets in the rain,
remembering one kiss in a dark alley,
A touch in a changing room, if lucky, a lovely wait
For the phone to ring, maybe, baby.
The past with its rush of velvet, its secret hush
Already miles away, dimming now, in the late day.
When I got home
I went out into the garden
Liking it when the frost bit
My old brown boots
And dug a hole the size of a baby
And buried the clothes
I'd bought anyway, just in case.
A week later I stood at my window
And saw the ground move
And swell the promise of a crop;
That's when she started crying.
I gave her a service then
Sang Ye Banks And Braes
Planted a bush of roses
Read from the Bible, the book of Job
Cursed myself digging a pit for my baby
Sprinkling ash from the grate.
Late that same night
She came in by the window
My baby Lazarus
And suckled at my breast.
I am only nineteen
My whole life is changing
Tonight I see her
Shuttered eyes in my dreams
I cannot pretend she's never been
My stitches pull and threaten to snap
My own body a witness
Leaking blood to sheets milk to shirts
My stretch marks
Record that birth
Though I feel like somebody is dying
I stand up in my bed
And wail like a banshee
On the second night
I shall suffocate her with a feather pillow
Bury her under a weeping willow
Or take her far out to sea
And watch her tiny six pound body
Sink to shells and re shape herself
So much better than her body
Encased in glass like a museum piece
Or I shall stab myself
Cut my wrists steal some sleeping pills
Better than this-mummified
Preserved as a warning
On the third night I toss
I did not go through those months
For you to die on me now
On the third night I lie
Willing life into her
Breathing air all the way down through the corridor
To the glass cot
I push my nipples through
Feel the ferocity of her lips
Landed in a place I recognize
My eyes in the mirror
Hard marbles glinting
Murderous light
My breasts sag my stomach
Still soft as a baby's
My voice deep and old as ammonite
I am a stranger visiting
Myself occasionally
An empty ruinous house
Cobwebs dust and broken stairs
Inside woodworm
Outside the weeds grow tall
As she must be now
She, my little foreigner
No longer familiar with my womb
Kicking her language of living
Somewhere past stalking her first words
She is six years old today
I am twenty-five; we are only
That distance apart yet
Time has fossilised
Prehistoric time is easier
I can imagine dinosaurs
More vivid than my daughter
Dinosaurs do not hurt my eyes
Nor make me old so terribly old
We are land sliced and torn.
I always looked out at the world,
And wondered if the world looked back at me,
Standing on the edge of something,
On my face- the wind from the cold sea.
Across the waters were mirrors to see
Faces that looked like me,
People caught between two places,
People crossing over the seas.
And it seemed from my croft
-With the old stones and the sheep,
And the sound of the songs in my sleep-
That the music of folk somewhere meets
On the edge of the place we would be.
I've lived through some hard times.
My face is lined; my body so frail.
I used to think I might be able –
When the river ran to meet the sea,
When the sun and moon shared the sky-
To look out as far as the eye could see,
And raise a glass to the girl looking back at me.
You were the one I wanted most to know
So like yet unlike, like fire and snow,
The casual voice, the sharp invective,
The barbed wit, the lapsed Irish Protestant
Who never gave a ****, crossed the palms
Of the great and good with coins hot with contempt
For the fakers and the tricksters whose poetry
Deftly bent to fashion's latest slant.
You wrote from the heart, feelings on your sleeve,
But feelings are all a master poet needs:
You broke all the taboos, whores and fags and booze,
While I sighed over books and began to snooze
Until your voice broke through the haze
Of a quarter century's sleep. "Wake up you git
And bloody write!" I did and never stopped
And like you told the truth about how bad poetry
Rots the soul and slapped a New Gen face or two
And kicked some arses in painful places,
And so like you, got omitted from the posh anthologies
Where Penguin and Picador fill the pages
With the boring poetasters you went for in your rages,
Ex-friends like Harrison who missed you out.
You never could see the envy in their enmity.
Longley was the worst, a hypocrite to boot,
All you said about him never did come out;
I've tried myself to nail others of that ilk
Hither and thither they slide and slither
And crawl out of the muck white as brides'
Fat with OBE's, sinecures and sighs
And Collected Poems no one buys.
Yet 'Mainstrem', your last but one collection,
I had to wait months for, the last borrower
Kept it for two years and likely I'll do the same
Your poetry's like no other, no one could tame
Your roaring fury or your searing pain.
You bared your soul in a most unfashionable way
But everything in me says your verse will stay,
Your love for your fourth and final wife,
The last chance marriage that went right
The children you loved so much but knew
You wouldn't live to see grown up, so caught
Their growing pains and joys with a painter's eye
And lyric skill as fine as Wordsworth's best
they drank her welcome to his heritage
of grey, grey-green, wet earth and shapes of stone.
Who weds a landscape will not die alone.
Those you castigated never forgave.
Omitted you as casually as passing an unmarked grave,
Armitage, I name you, a blackguard and a knave,
Who knows no more of poetry than McGonagall the brave,
Yet tops the list of Faber's 'Best Poets of Our Age'.
Longley gave you just ten lines in 'Irish Poets Now'
Most missed you out entirely for the troubles you gave
Accusing like Zola those poetic whores
Who sold themselves to fashion when time after time
Your passions brought you to your knees, lashing
At those poetasters when their puffed-up slime
Won the medals and the prizes time after time
And got them all the limelight while your books
Were quietly ignored, the better you wrote,
The fewer got bought.
Belatedly I found a poem of yours 'Leeds 2'
In 'Flashpoint', a paint-stained worn out
School anthology from 1962. Out of the blue
I wrote to you but the letter came back 'Gone away
N.F.A.' then I tried again and had a marvellous letter back
Full of stories of the great and good and all their private sins,
You knew where the bodies were buried.
Who put the knife in, who slept with who
For what reward. They never could shut you up
Or put you in a pen or pay you off and then came
Morley, Hulse and Kennedy's 'New Poetry'
Which did more damage to the course of poetry
Than anything I've read - poets unembarrassed
By the need to know more than what's politically
White as snow. Constantine and Jackie Kay
And Hoffman with the right connections.
Sweeney and O'Brien bleeding in all the politically
Sensitive places, Peter Reading lifting
Horror headlines from the Sun to make a splash.
Sansom and Maxwell, Jamie and Greenlaw.
Proving lack of talent is no barrier to fame
If you lick the right arses and say how nice they taste.
Crawling up the ladder, declaring **** is grace.
A talented drunken public servant
Has the world's ear and hates me.
He ought to be in prison for misuse
Of public funds and bigotry;
But there's some sparkle in his poetry.
You never flinched in the attack
But gave the devils their due:
The 'Honest Ulsterman' you founded
Lost its honesty the day you withdrew
But floundered on, publicly sighed and
Ungraciously expired as soon as you died.
You went with fallen women, smoked and sang and boozed,
Loved your many children, wrote poetry
As good as Yeats but the ignominy you had to bear
Bred an immortality impossible to share.
You showed us your own peccadilloes,
Your early lust for fame, but you learned
The cost of suffering, love and talent winning through,
Your best books your last, just two, like the letters
You wrote before your life was through.
The meeting you wanted could never happen:
I didn't know about the stroke
That stilled your tongue and pen
But if you passed your mantle on to me
I'll try and take up where you left off,
Give praise where praise is due
And blast the living daylights from those writers who
Betray the sacred art of making poetry true
To suffering and love, to passion and remorse
And try to steer a flimsy world upon a saner course.

2013 Oct 29
Not long ago, I was able to participate in a weekend-long training session with Chief Master Marshall Parnell. During part of his lecture he was explaining how you should practice. He had hit on every point that I had been attempting to get across to students, but I never could find the right words to explain what I meant. He had used "spirit" a few times in regards to striking. I've used this word a few times as well, but always got blank stares back. Far too often people think that "spirit" can only mean something religious. Using terms like "energy" or "force" are so overused in martial arts that students don't register the context with them anymore. Master Parnell managed to find a word that fit perfectly - intent.
There are a few definitions for intent, but two that I will focus on today are:
Intent is an important part of your training. Whether you are training for self-defense, emotional or stress release, or just for fitness, it will help you achieve your goals. The lack of intent may be hindering your training and could be causing you to stagnate.
This holds true for not only martial arts, but things in life as well! How often do you sit down for an exam in school and simply start writing or marking answers without reading the questions completely? How often do you find yourself giving a business or professional presentation for a topic that you have only glanced over? Me neither! The key component missing is intent.
Training with intent helps you have clear and correct techniques. It adds focus to what you are doing - not only once, but every time you do it. Your goals and state of mind help you understand the information and be able to perform it to the best of your ability.
While learning new techniques, do you have a purpose? Of course! Your purpose or aim is to learn the technique. You want to absorb the information being presented, process it, mold it into something you can easily understand, and store it away for later recall. This intent it easy to use, and is quite natural for anyone training in martial arts. The fact that you are in class shows that you intend to learn something, somehow.
Once you have learned that shiny new technique, what do you do with it? Do you set aside some time to practice that technique over and over and over to try and perfect it? If so, you are displaying intent again. Your aim is to make the technique work for you in a way where you don't have to think hard to perform it correctly. You want it to work on demand, you want your body to have muscle memory of what it needs to do. Why? The answer to this question varies from student to student, but the simple answer is because you want to be able to think of what you will do next while performing this technique. For example, you don't learn a block to just block. You learn it, work it, attempt to perfect it so that you can think of what your next move will be whether it is another block or a counter strike.
When you practice your techniques, are you trying to improve them? Even those that you learned as a white belt in your first class? I learned my first techniques in the mid 1980s. I am still trying to perfect those low blocks, middle punches and front kicks nearly 30 years later! Every time I perform them, I do so with the purpose to feel how they work and even try something just a little different to get them to work better. In your classes, it is almost guaranteed that there is at least one person that is training with intent for every technique that they do. You know who they are, and so do the most casual of observers. They are the ones that are full of energy, the ones with techniques that look like they would hurt their opponent, often the ones with sharp focus and good breath control.
Contrasting those in class that are practicing every technique with intent, there is at least one that is not. These are the students that "go through the motions." Casual observers can notice these students as well, but it may not be as obvious. These students are doing the "right" technique, but are lacking some key components. While this is most common in children's classes, it can be found everywhere. The student may not have focus - looking around at others while doing their technique. They may have improper or poor stance, movements ending in the wrong place, and may even not be breathing during the technique. These students may look confused in what they are trying to do - or even worse, they might look lazy and sluggish. When training without intent, the student will perform the techniques the same way every time, regardless of the situation. Their techniques often look like they wouldn't work for what they are supposed to do.
Those that practice with intent every time they do a technique improve that specific technique. Eventually, they are able to make their techniques work for them and may even be able to use them successfully if ever forced to do so in a self-defense situation. In addition, these students often have quite successful exams and look very sharp. They may have fewer frustrations while learning new material because of the way they apply their purpose to the learning. These are some of the helpful effects of training with intent.
Students that go through the motions often don't improve techniques much from when they learned them on their own. They often need motivation to keep going, to focus, to improve. Their exams are often lackluster and look confusing. The lack of intent from a student can imply that something is wrong or that they are not ready to move forward in their training. If confronted with a dire need to use a technique, these students may not be able to defend themselves successfully because their body only knows how to make the motion without focus or a purpose. Techniques cannot work when you most need them if they are not practiced with intent. These are some ways that your training can be harmed from the lack of intent.
What about for those that aren't training for self-defense or competition? We know there are many different reasons for people to train. In addition to self-defense, people start training for strengthening, stress relief, flexibility, etc. Does training with intent help these people as well? The answer of course, is "Yes!" Toward the top of the article, I wrote of the intent while learning a technique. That intent isn't so much the "purpose" of the technique, but the "state of mind" in which you are while learning. The same thing applies for those with reasons other than self-defense or competition on their mind.
To train with intent helps you relieve stress, improve strength, flexibility, and coordination. It gives you improved self-esteem when you are able to see yourself improve toward your goal and keeps you motivated. Giving your training purpose and your full attention while practicing can make you feel better - whether it is short term or long term.
To leave intent behind, you will not see improvements in the same time span. You won't relieve your stress as quickly. Most importantly, you will not gain the self-esteem and pride felt of reaching those goals soon.
Whether you are training a hard art like Tang Soo Do and Tae Kwon Do, a soft art like Haidong Gumdo or Aikido, or both types, train with intent. Make your training count. Get a release from the world around you and live in your training for a period. You might just find that the things we teach reach far beyond the dojang.

Ode To Awful Friends
"He's not a bad person, but he's also not a good one. I think he tries too hard to seem mysterious and deep, but at the end of the day, he only thinks about himself. Also he's just selfish and uncaring of other people. He's good at making you think he cares, but he has no problem dipping whenever he wants. That's the signs of a shitty dude. And I'm just pissed that you did so much for him and he's doing this"

Team PokerStars Pro Chad Brown passed away early Wednesday morning.
"At approximately 1:15 a.m., Chad Brown passed away at Calvary Hospital Hospice in the Bronx, New York after a three-year battle with cancer," according to PokerNews Managing Editor Brett Collson.
Brown's battle with liposarcoma, a rare form of cancer, took a turn for the worse a few days ago and he was in Hospice care during his last days.
Over the weekend, he was awarded an honorary WSOP bracelet during a special ceremony held at the Rio in Las Vegas.
An outpouring of Twitter posts from Brown's colleagues began once the news was officially confirmed.
Team PokerStars Pro Victor Ramdin tweeted:
European Poker Tour television host James Hartigan told his followers, "We've lost one of poker's good guys. RIP Chad Brown. It was always fun having you in the booth."
PokerStars has created a blog post to share sentiments from leaders in the poker community and has a full obituary detailing Brown's life.
PokerStars Head of Blogging Brad Willis wrote Wednesday morning that "though the honorary WSOP bracelet came just before his death, those who knew Chad Brown understood it was not an honor given on the occasion of his death."
"It was one offered as a celebration of his life. Put another way: a bracelet didn't define his life. His life defined the bracelet, and Chad Brown defined what it means to live."
Since 1993, Brown had accumulated $3.6 million in live poker tournament cashes and is currently listed as #182 on the all-time money list, according to The Hendon Mob database.
He had seven 6-figure cashes during his live poker tournament career, including a runner up performance in the WSOP $5,000 No Limit Deuce to Seven Draw event in 2007.

So, here I am thinking I've got this novel licked, when all of a sudden, a certain character, whose name shall remain hidden decides SHE wants to go in a different direction. And then another character decides she's making sense. Who am I to argue? So, of we go!! This is fun .
Most historical fiction uses anachronism (noble exception is Patrick O'Brian), especially the use of modern jargon (Tom Holt's hilarious books on Ancient Greece are a good example.) Last night I was reading an excellent novel set in Ancient Rome. The author uses lots of modern jargon "he's nuts; stop faffing about" which I could deal with. But then the author used doolalli to describe someone who was insane. This term comes from the Deolali Barracks in India where nineteenth century British soldiers with mental problems were sent. Where do you draw the line?
Phil Duke's Blog
Hi, this is my first blog about writing historical fiction. I love the genre. As a kid I devoured every Hornblower book I could get from the library. Now, I'm a big fan of Patrick O'Brian, Bernard Cornwell, Caleb Carr and Jeff Shaara; the list is endless!
I've written two of my own historical fiction novels (A Terrible Unrest and The Village), and I guess the biggest challenge I've encountered – like everybody – is where to draw the line between historical fact and fiction. Sure, I can't make blatant mistakes(too much) like changing dates or locations, although in both of my novels I've telescoped certain events and invented specific locations to help the story's trajectory. I check all my facts very carefully, but would a reader really care if, for example, the novel included, say, a plant or animal that wasn't native at the time? Even the great Bernard Cornwell once wrote that you're going to get some things wrong and you will always have a reader more than willing to let you know!
I fall back ultimately on the fact that I'm not writing a historical tome. The primary goal of my novels is to entertain the reader and hope that any inaccuracies aren't too egregious.
I would love to hear from you. So, please, give me your thoughts and let's get a conversation going. Thanks.

Does it always seem like the grass is greener on your neighbor's side of the fence? You might imagine that all your neighbors have some top-secret formula that keeps their grass and garden looking so much better than yours. The fact is, there is no secret in getting a beautiful garden. All it takes is knowledge on how to take care of your plants properly. Begin building your knowledge base by reading the gardening advice in this article.
Properly lay your sod. Before you lay the sod, the soil has to be prepared. Remove any weeds, and break the soil up into a fine tilth. When the soil is clean, pack it tightly and create a flat surface. The soil should always receive adequate moisture. Then lay the sod in staggered rows so the joints are offset. After the sod is in place, go over the surface to ensure everything is level. Use loose soil to fill in any gaps between seams. Keep the sod moist and avoid walking on it until it is well-rooted, usually two to three weeks.
When gardening in the fall, you need to be watching for stink bugs. They love to inhabit peppers, beans, tomatoes and all kinds of fruit varieties. If kept unchecked they can certainly do a ton of a damage to your garden so you should do what you need to to reduce their population.
When the fall season approaches, you must prepare to plant your favorite fall veggies and other edibles. Why not plant lettuce and kale inside a hollowed-out pumpkin? Cut an opening in the pumpkin and scoop the insides out. Then spray the edges and empty inside of the pumpkin with Wilt-Pruf so the pumpkin doesn't rot. You can now use it to plant in, as you would a pot.
Seeds should be soaked in a dark area overnight. Simply place a handful of seeds in a container, cover the seeds up with water, and stash it away. This way, your seeds are well-hydrated and can start growing with a head start. Your seeds will then have the best chance possible to survive to maturity.
Always make sure to mow your lawn to the appropriate length, always making sure that the cut is not too close. If you let your grass grow, the roots will go deeper and make your lawn more resistant to dryness. When you cut the grass too short, the roots are often not deep enough, which causes your lawn to have dry patches of brown, discolored grass.
Carefully plan your garden first. This way, when the sprouts start shooting up, you can recall where you planted each plant. It's also a good way to keep smaller plants from getting swallowed up by the rest of your garden.
As you can tell, most of these ideas don't require a major expenditure of effort or funds. Just apply the lessons outlined here and assess their effectiveness in your own garden. You need to pay close attention to how your plants fare after changing up your techniques. Experimenting with already existing plants will only lead to disaster. Be patient and eventually you'll have a garden that your neighbors will envy.
