Philippine Catholic Church of Greed, Manipulation and Hypocrites
The title goes as it is implied. This is neither a joke nor is this a coordinated feedback against the Philippine Catholic Church, it is yet rather an arrangement of actualities described with the end goal to make an extent of reality that this Church has made.
The Philippine Catholic Church of Greed
In spite of all its recency, we know beyond all doubt that the church judges you based on your donations. It is an open mystery that with the correct value, anything can be purchased, unfortunately this incorporates confidence. It isn't something that should be ashamed of for this act is due to the need to survive.
The Philippines is a developing country and if there is anything that it dearly needs, it is the money to actually become developed. But the Catholic Church is known to deny this fact while having their hands open for donations while their people are ready to serve the highest bidder first. Apparently the richer you are, the more prayers you get from the holy ones and the closer you get to a ticket to heaven. But you know what, the church denounces such earthly riches, one must be spiritually rich not monetarily, so what must one do? One must give to the church that allegedly distributes to the poor.
Father Jose C. Galoy of the Santuario d San Antonio Church in Forbes Park, Makati indulges in this ideology. He indulges in it so much that he has demanded every wedding florist, musician, photographer and videographer to 'donate' an annual accreditation fee of at least Php. 30,000. Wedding suppliers and coordinators, on the other hand, must 'donate' Php. 50,000 every year. Not including the post of a cash bond of Php. 20,000 for every wedding.
What a load of bull. Since this isn't the only source of revenue of the church, there is also the baptisms, confirmations and the wakes of the famous and rich to include. And the cherry on top of this mountain of greed is its tax-free revenue spree. It is the Philippine Law apparently.
No wonder the poor who were supposed to be welcome at any catholic church are so intimidated. For in their eyes, if your monthly salary doesn't stand next to the Forbes Park's average church devotee's monthly salary then you aren't as welcome as they are. Well at least leaving the church is free!
But what bothers most critics of the Catholic Church is the fact that priests of churches in many highly urbanized environments like Metro Manila, roam around the city, in their luxury vehicles that's tailed by their armed security vehicles that brings them back home, to their well-built, high-rise, air-conditioned churches.
Isn't there supposed to be some kind of vow of poverty and humility, if not, then shouldn't they?
The Philippine Catholic Church of Manipulation
There used to be a separation between the State and the Church, mandated by the Philippine Law during the American Colonial Period. A time where the church and its nuns opted to run their money-making schools for the prosperous.
But this separation started to exist no more when in 1971, Father Pacifico Ortiz won a seat in the 1971 Constitutional Convention. But this was only a soft victory for the church since former President Ferdinand Marcos' Martial Law demoted him to the sidelines of the government.
But the Archbishop of Manila at the time was apparently smarter. Archbishop Jaime Cardinal Sin juggled the government and the opposition, President Ferdinand Emmanuel Edralin Marcos Sr. and Senator Benigno "Ninoy" Simeon Aquino Jr. by switching sides whenever it is convenient, whenever the media goes, whatever he is "spiritually" blown to. His transcended soul apparently was also one that moves both the Marcoses and the Aquinos, but this all came to an end during the Martial Law. He lost all influence and manipulation on the President which opted him to go to more extreme measures. To side singly on the Aquinos and create anti-government propaganda through the Catholic Radio Station Veritas and their tabloid publication called the same thing. If you cannot manipulate the head, why not manipulate the body?
But their most well thought of, under-the-radar propaganda was their "pastoral letters" that provided the public with government-opposing manifestos that was forcefully fed in the ears of the Catholic devotees in every mass, nationwide. Who would suspect evil from such holy letters anyway?
Then when the EDSA revolution came, the church became Corazon Cojuanco Aquino's pedestal in winning the seat of Presidency. This gave Sin the power to control Aquino with his holiest of the holiest guidance.
Sin succeeding to in creating close ties with Aquino then opted to manipulate the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) which will serve him well in the future.
Now with his holy influence, he was even able to get a nun appointed to the 1986 Constitutional Convention.
In the 1992 presidential election, Sin opted to support the Speaker of the House Ramon Mitra Jr. due to his catholic religion and not Fidel Ramos for he was a Protestant. If this was the basis for the government's future, religion, we'd all be damned. Soon after the elections, with Ramos winning, he publicly announced that he voted for Ramos behind Mitra's back, a clear act of betrayal. Doesn't this make Sin was more of a Judas character? Well no, because Judas regretted betraying Jesus, Sin did not and opted to actually use his vote as leverage in criticizing Ramos, stating that he has every right for he voted for Ramos.
Armida Siguon-Reyna the MTRCB chief during the time of former President Joseph Estrada issued a 5-year permit that allows the public exhibition of a sexually graphic motion picture. Fast forward into the future a little bit, during the time of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, this permit made the then MTRCB chief, who was under the influence of Sin, Nicanor Tiongson's reputation tainted. Sin publicly and wrongly condemned Tiongson for allowing such lewdness to be publicized, but Tiongson had no power since the law dictates that unless the film was altered then it is completely legal. Sadly, due to being disgusted towards Sin, Tiongson resigned as chief of the MTRCB.
Only death apparently stopped Sin from continuously manipulating people, but his legacy lives on as the Catholic Church's views are all but in one perspective, their perspective. If it doesn't follow their view then it isn't a view at all, it's an incarnation of the devil that's meant to destroy their following.
The Philippine Catholic Church of Hypocrites
"Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive who trespass against us"
The church clearly states this line in every mass, the fact that we should forgive those who sin upon us yet has the church been the same? When a Manila tourist guide brought a placard that says "Padre Damaso" in an Intramuros church, which offended the clergy. Did the church forgive this man for what he did?
No. They filed a criminal case against the man. First of all it isn't blasphemy, "Padre Damaso" is part of our culture for he's in the Noli me Tangere novel of Jose Rizal. Second this can't be considered libel for there wasn't any direct insult to the church, the placard didn't say that any priest was like "Padre Damaso" and lastly despite stating that they forgave the man, the criminal case still goes on with the People of the Philippines front-lining the charges against the man. And who else would this people be but those manipulated by the church.
The point here is that the church stated to forgive those who sin upon us, but they didn't. The church only publicly appeared to do so in order to avoid controversy yet their fury against a man that brought that placard still lives on in secret.
Other examples would be stating "love thy neighbor" when they clearly hate all other religions. Or the commandment that states "thou shall not steal" but their politicized order is corrupted from the very core, with parishes setting money aside from the donations and payments.
They state that the church helps the poor when in reality the church takes from the thousands of poor Filipinos by asking for small amounts donations in return for a couple of comforting words of gratitude and value. These donations on the other hand, when accumulated will amounts to millions!
A small price to pay indeed, but a small price that could've been used for something else other than funding the Judgmental Church of Self-Righteousness, who see all as corrupted and themselves as pure.
What has the church truly have done for the Philippines rather than provide the people with a reason to feel ashamed of themselves? For not donating, for not praying properly, for not following what a priest says that they may despite the request being too much to bear. Ever since, the Catholic Church has lead a path of corruption and death, you don't even need to search too much, the history books proves it all true.
It seems like the man with the "Padre Damaso" placard was implying some kind of message, that today's priests are exactly like the Spanish friars that the Filipinos despised so much for their greed, manipulation and hypocrisy.

Mighty_doh_nut said:18 years served ex servicemen, Banner, herrick, Telic & Granby faced house reposession. Managed to get him a very short stay of execution giving me some time to formulate a reasonable budget, negotiate with the lender to vary rates and capitalise arrears etc, all of which is being done behind the scenes.
He is a victim of bad luck, he is a trier and very much an acheiver, stupid squaddie self pride wouldn't let him tell anyone he was in trouble (untill someone bubbled him ) Ysterday his house was saved pending rapid action from us.
I've managed to capitalise (so far) half the arrears if the remainder can be cleared, this will take him out of a fixed term and on to a variable (which in simple terms knocks about £450 a month of his mortgage, making it payable affordable and sustainable. Its not my plan to give him a short term fix and place him back in the same situation again in three months time. (Other agencies are involved and aware as of last night and will help, its doubtful whether it will be in time, hence the need for the QRF type facility of Holidays4heroes)
Also, our chap who we needed shelter and housing for and a decent employment brief is ok, we need to find an amount towards his housing again this month while his benefits kick in. Thanks to members of this site watchign in, he was placed with a pretty damm goo and helpful employment lawyer who is hopefully going to see him get what he deserves. (I'm working on a picture of her legs, but its not forthcoming yet..... She will crumble )
Our adopted lad with malacular dystrophy (spelling) is currentl on the train to London to see the sites, prior to travellign to Middle Wallop on Sunday to spend the day bathign in Flash's farts and being shown the museum of army Aviation and handsomeness... Monday he gets a flying suit, flies in a Lynx, crawls all over apache's works as a groundcrewman prior to boarding the simulator and making like Ed Macy. Then he gets taken back to the station in a sirens flasing police car
Thursday is becomes a guest of the RHF at Pennycook where he will be robbed at knifepoint and forced to take heroine...... (obviosuly joking... just cocaine)
They are giving him an unforgettable experience and will use the electronic range etc
To al those I've yet to contact, bear with us, I will be in touch.
Add to that the families of two KIA soldiers and one family including an injured infanteer to go out to Spain.
Pretty quiet week other than that!!!

Intel, one of the most innovative and successful IT companies ever, celebrated its 35th birthday last week.
Intel was founded in 1968 by Robert Noyce, Gordon Moore and Andy Grove to produce microprocessors for large, clunky computing machines — many of which took up entire rooms. Today it develops microprocessors for a large range of desktop and mobile computers, servers and other computing devices, and employs 78,000 employees in 40 countries.
Intel established its first office for the Asia Pacific region, now its largest region in terms of revenue, in Sydney in 1979.
In the last 35 years, PC vendors have sold more than one billion personal computers, many featuring Intel processors.
Analyst group Gartner predicts it will only take a further six years to reach the two billion milestone — mainly through dramatic growth in the Asia-Pacific region.
To mark the anniversary, Intel Australia packed many of its staff on buses and headed to the beautiful Hunter Valley for a celebratory lunch.

Bexley: Client safety fears over condition of council minibuses
PUBLISHED: 15:40 28 October 2011
Bexley council is using ageing vehicles to take adults with learning disabilities to day centres, according to a carer. Malcolm Kirkup, 80, of Beechcroft Avenue, Barnehurst, whose son uses the Bexley Accessible Transport Scheme (BATS) service every day found out that one of the doors of a vehicle had come off its hinges during a recent incident.
Following several complaints he made and calls by the Times, Bexley council confirmed there were plans to start using four minibuses to replace the five "much older" vehicles that are currently in operation.
Mr Kirkup, whose son is partly autistic and attends the Smerdon day centre in Barnehurst five days a week, said: "They are running dangerous vehicles picking up our children. I've been hearing of problems for quite a long time and quite frankly it's worrying.
"Passengers' lives and those of the drivers are being put in jeopardy every time the vehicles go on the road.
"The vehicles shouldn't get into this state before something is done about it. They should not be using vehicles which aren't serviceable to use on the roads."
The incident, happened while outside another client's home before it was due to pick up Mr Kirkup's son.
Mr Kirkup contacted the council and was told that the damage had been caused by a passenger.
However, Bexley council has since confirmed that passenger escorts open and close the doors and at no point would a customer be able to stand and walk to the doors without the escort noticing their actions.
Mr Kirkup: "For BATS to blame one of the passengers is totally wrong."
A spokesman for the council added: "All of the vehicles used for transporting adult social care clients are subject to a standard 10 weekly safety checks, a full service every 12 months and interim service every six months. Any reactive repairs are carried out as soon as possible to enable the vehicle to return to the road.
"From November 1, four 'new' BATS minibuses will be in operation. These will replace the five much older vehicles that are currently being used.
"We know that some users have recently had concerns about the condition of the much older vehicles and we have invested in replacement vehicles after listening to their concerns."
One BATS vehicle which is currently on the road was registered in 1999 and four were registered in 2006.

End Train & Flaminia
August 22, 2018
"It's August 2015 and we are at Berlin Atonal where we find a hidden room with a stroboscopic installation and the inspiration kicks in: how about we start our own platform to share music and art we like? So we came up with the vision of creating a label that inspire others with music, experiences, art and stories."
July 06, 2018
"At the time like today, I always draw my inspiration in the same way. I spend a lot of time in nature marveling at the beauty of my surroundings. There are then images that remain anchored in my mind and, when I'm in front of my computer, I just have to close my eyes to see these landscapes scrolling again. This is indirectly a form of meditation and escape for me, constantly present at any time of the day."
June 13, 2018
"I think its dangerously important - we've only just started to scratch the surface of the negative effects of the touring DJ but also for the "not-so-touring DJ". I would be lying if I said I've never had issues myself, it can get really tough sometimes in any creative industry I think, putting your soul into a creative output only to feel like you're being pitted against others in a contest for attention… this undoubtedly has an effect on one's mental health but I've personally found my own ways of negating that."
June 05, 2018
"I think the techno scene is totally polarised, and this year is all about to confirm this. Techno became mainstream; the word 'Techno' became too many things and I hear again the worst stuff from the genre… but at the same time new artists and labels emerge with amazing ideas and in some spots the best of what this word means to me is happening."
Michal Jablonski
March 07, 2018
"We can hear a lot about the commercialisation of the genre lately. It makes me sad, that some artists openly admit that techno is just business to them. In the times of the Internet and social media, it's easier than ever to achieve success. Now everyone can be a DJ, producer or own a label. I don't think it has the best influence on the scene. However, there are still tons of wonderful music and talented artists among us. I believe that quality and sincere passion will always be appreciated."
September 28, 2017
"I think everything happened for a reason. Starting for me, it was already for passion, I started to listen to music, I went to some parties, I see the figure of the DJ and somehow, I wanted to find myself there… not forgetting I come from the dance fxloor, so I always keep this in my mind when I perform, I like to imagine: what if I myself am on the floor, how will I perceive myself, so I want to try and give something more, give some of my personality."

The vast majority of minor side effects experienced when taking VigRx Plus dissipate or disappear entirely over time. Nevertheless, it's important to consult with a medical professional, should you suspect VigRx Plus to be the cause of any unpleasant symptoms you experience.
What Is VigRx Plus?
As mentioned, VigRx Plus is a 100% natural supplement for improved male sexual health. Used appropriately, VigRx Plus has been proven as effective in the treatment of a variety of male sexual health issues. From erectile dysfunction to low energy levels to poor sexual appetite, VigRx Plus gets to work in a variety of key areas.
Though similar in effect to many conventional male performance supplements, VigRx Plus is considered one of the safest medications in its class. Not to mention, one of the most consistently effective – 95% of men reporting noticeable improvements while taking VigRx Plus.

Research has shown that erectile dysfunction is more prevalent in men over the age of 40. This is also the age group that collectively expresses greatest interest in male sexual enhancement supplements. Nevertheless, this doesn't mean that considerably younger men do not regularly experience problems with erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, diminished libido and so on.
Rather than suffer in silence, it simply makes sense to try an approved treatment you can trust to get the job done. In the case of VigRx Plus, this is one of the only male sexual enhancement products to have earned the recommendation and approval of leading experts worldwide.
Not to mention, one of the safest male sexual enhancement products on the market, with little to no risk of unpleasant side effects.

VigRx Plus is designed to build a cumulative effect over time. Its beneficial effects are unlikely to be noticeable within the first couple of weeks, so it's important to have patience. In any case, the manufacturer covers this remarkable supplement with a reassuring 60-day guarantee for total peace of mind.
Some of the effects you can expect to experience when VigRx Plus gets to work include the following
- Harder, fuller erections
- Penis feels and looks larger
- Erections stay firmer for longer
- No premature ejaculation

It has even proved effective in the treatment of anxiety and stress – particularly when experienced in relation to sexual encounters.
How Using VigRX Plus Will Improve Your Sexual Life
For anyone looking to improve their sex life and satisfy their sexual partners, VigRx Plus represents an ideal alternative to chemical drugs that can bring any number of side effects into the equation. VigRx Plus is a 100% herbal supplement, with absolutely no synthetic compounds or chemicals in its formulation.
Every ingredient is painstakingly selected and refined to ensure its potency and quality. What's more, each of the organic compounds in VigRx Plus has been approved by the FDA as safe for human consumption. VigRx Plus is a product of centuries of research into the effects and properties of powerful herbal medicines.

Following extensive clinical trials, 90% of those who took part stated their intention to continue using VigRx Plus permanently after the trials were completed. A strong indication of its capacity to improve performance on a higher level than any comparable male enhancement product.
Who Can Use VigRX Plus?
There are very few limitations with regard to who can and cannot use VigRx Plus. The most impressive effects were experienced by men aged 20 to 60, though younger and older men may still find VigRx Plus useful in improving their sexual performance.
Due to its effects on blood flow around the body, VigRx Plus is not recommended for use by anyone with a history of heart disease or circulatory issues of any kind. In addition, if you are currently taking any type of medication, you must consult a medical professional before beginning a course of VigRx Plus.
Otherwise, if you are in a generally good state of health, VigRx Plus could be the safe yet effective sexual enhancement product you've been looking for. Order yours today and if you're not completely satisfied within 60 days, you'll get your money back – every penny of it!

Various combinations of standards and plugs can all be confusing when planning on travelling to another country especially to the first time traveller. With only a handful of different types of sockets being used throughout the world this guide shows exactly what to buy in advance to power the iPhone 6 in Liechtenstein. This page was specifically written to help assist travellers wanting to charge their iPhone 6 abroad.These step-by-step instructions tells you what you'll need to charge the iPhone 6 when travelling to Liechtenstein by using the J or C type 230 volt 50Hz wall outlets.

The station
the season 2017-2018 was the 45th anniversary of the mont-comi. keep in touch to know about the programmation.
A fabulous video was made for the 40th of Parc du Mont-Comi. It's an honor to share this video with all of you. We hope you will enjoy it!
Click here to start the view
Parc du Mont-Comi: lives up, to expectations!
Located in Bas-Saint-Laurent, specifically 30 kilometers south of Rimouski, Mont-Comi is unquestionably the biggest ski resort throughout East-of-Quebec. Appreciated for its abundance of natural snow and the quality of its ski conditions, skiers and snowboarders from Quebec, Maritimes and also United States come here to practice their favorite sport and enjoy the longest ski season in the region. The ski resort is also host of majors events such as Snowmission, a must for Snowboard lovers, helds every year in March. If this is your first visit with us or even if you are a regular, you'll want to return to Mont-Comi as often as possible!
- Appalachian mountains range
- Summit : 575 meters (1881 feet)
- Elevation : 306 meters
- 30 runs (from easy to extreme)
- 4 chair lifts
- Steepest run : The "Mur" (the wall)(35°)
- Cross country skiing and snowshoe trails
- 3 sides
- 6 undergrowth runs
- Halfpipe and Snowpark
The Parc du Mont-Comi began operations on January 17th 1973. Before beginning, there were many steps taken to establish a corporation, in 1967 by a group of promotors in the area. A popular subscription's campaign made it possible to raise the necessary money to buy land and to make the first runs on the mountain whose original name was "Mont-Camille".
As there was not enough money available to buy the equipement to maintain the runs, they asked snow mobilests to "groom" the runs with tree trunks. As it was more or less efficient, they borrowed $ 3,500 to buy a "Muskeg" to groom the runs with a tractor.
In 1972, they installed the first mechanic t-bar lift for the 4 beginner runs. In the autumn of 1973 they installed the first chair lift and five new runs were made.
In its first year of operation in 1973, the Parc du Mont-Comi was operating with a budget of approximatly $ 85,000 and 6 employees. At that time a lift ticket cost $ 2.50 for adults and $ 1.50 for students. The budget of operation had an important growth of up to more than 1,3 million during the 80's.
One of the objectives for the Parc du Mont-Comi was to offer accesibility to their equipement and services all year round. In the summer of 1975 they started the camp ''Soleil et Verdure''. The presence of the camp created many infrastructures (dormitory and chalet) were built and were subsidized because of the camp.
Through the years , many employees and numerous volunteers contributed to the development of the Parc du Mont-Comi. In fact , the second general manager (1985-1989) Mr. Guy Desrosiers, is now the general manager of Mont-Ste-Anne.
Second Wind
In May of 1998, the corporation of the Parc du Mont-Comi went bankrupt due to accumulated debts. The mountain was bought by Mr. Denis Roussel and his brothers in September of 1998. Mr . Roussel has worked at the Parc du Mont-Comi since the age of 15. He has gone from lift operator to manager of operations for the mountain. He was born and raised at the base of the mountain. The land around the mountain was owned by his father Xavier Roussel. For the love of the mountain, he gave it, its second wind.
The Tradition Goes On..
Every spring since 1973, there is an annual event at the Parc du Mont-Comi : the ski boom. Each year it has been held on the Saturday before Easter week and is celebrated by all of the skiers by wearing a costume. A contest for the best costume has been organised for the event. There is a run down the mountain with lighted tourches, a mannequin race, entertainment and games.
There is also a Telefestival (telemark festival) that is held annually at the Parc du Mont-Comi since 1983. This event is so popular that it has become the biggest telemark gathering in eastern Canada. We can say that Parc du Mont-Comi has been the forerunner in Quebec for this sport.
The View
Mont-Comi is the best view point in the area to see the St-Lawrence river. From the top of Mont-Comi there is an open outlook of the whole La Mitis area. On a clear day, you may see up to 10 church's bell-towers: Mont-Joli, Sainte-Angèle-de-Mérici, Saint-Joseph-de-Lepage, Price, Saint-Octave, Saint-Gabriel-de-Rimouski, Sainte-Jeanne, La Rédemption, Les Hauteurs and Saint-Donat-de-Rimouski.

SC upholds licence cancellation of Digi Cable Network, SCOD 18 Networking
The apex court judge bench observed that security clearance is mandatory.
MUMBAI: Cancellation of licences granted to two MSOs Digi Cable Network and SCOD 18 Networking has been upheld by the Supreme Court on security ground. Before moving to apex court the petitioners had approached the Bombay High Court where their pleas challenging the cancellation order by Ministry of Information & Broadcasting (MIB) were dismissed.
Earlier, the licences issued to these cable TV service providers were cancelled by the MIB on the ground that the Ministry of Home Affairs denied issuance of "security clearance" to them. The apex court bench comprising Justice Abhay Manohar Sapre and Justice Indu Malhotra security agreed that security clearance is a mandatory requirement as per Cable Television Network (Amendment) Rules.
The Union of India filed the copy of the reasons in a sealed cover which was made basis to deny security clearance to the appellant. Referring to the document, the bench observed that the order of cancellation was passed in conformity with the requirements of Rule 11C.
"It is clear from mere reading of the Rule 11C (1) that grant of permission is subject to issue of security clearance from the central government to the applicant... Since the grant of permission was subject to obtaining of the security clearance from the concerned ministry, the competent authority was justified in cancelling the conditional permission for want of security clearance," the court said.
The appellant also argued that they were not afforded any opportunity of hearing before cancelling the permission. They added that the order was passed without following the principle of natural justice and fair play.
"In a situation of national security, a party cannot insist for the strict observance of the principles of natural justice. In such cases, it is the duty of the court to read into and provide for statutory exclusion, if not expressly provided in the rules governing the field. Depending on the facts of the particular case, it will, however, be open to the court to satisfy itself whether there were justifiable facts, and in that regard, the court is entitled to call for the files and see whether it is a case where the interest of national security is involved. Once the State is of the stand that the issue involves national security, the court shall not disclose the reasons to the affected party," the judgement read.
The bench also observed that the principles of natural justice were not violated in this case. The appeal has been dismissed finally as it was found to be devoid of any merit.

These days, I ask for
How I love the natural world.
it never fails to renew my spirit.

makes me new again.
it brings a feeling of agelessness

the presence of that
magical vibration.
I sit there hoping some
thirsty bird will drop by
for a cold drink from my
for this, I am eternally grateful.
but, to live forever
wrapped in greenery of grass and trees
a warm slow breeze
the blueness of sky
and warming rays of sun
would be heaven on earth.

Endeavour: The Ship and the Attitude that Changed the World
Ranked among ships of historic note—Drake's Golden Hind, Bligh's Bounty, Franklin's Erebus, Titanic—is the Endeavour, in which Lieutenant James Cook first sailed to the South Seas. Likely less well known is the original reason for the voyage: to observe the transit of Venus, other key characters such as the botanist, Joseph Banks, and the chequered history of the ship itself, both in name and purpose—from its inception as a collier to its demise: scuttled off Rhode Island.
While charting the ship's fourteen-year service in all its guises, Moore explores wide-ranging events in the social, political and economic history of the era. He presents a huge cast of characters, along with a wealth of statistics and technical detail, some of which can, for a non-specialist, be hard to follow. Though individual elements are fascinating, and the book peppered with vivid description—colliers 'lumbering like the elephants in Hannibal's army' and Banks collecting specimens with the 'cheer and spring of a parson on Easter Sunday', both scope and complexity render it unsuitable for the casual reader. With almost seventy pages of bibliography, notes and index, it is recommended for those who appreciate well-written, rigorously researched, broad-sweep history.

Happy October! For those of us who are planning to participate in NaNoWriMo, October should be a very important month. (And I see by the WordPress Reader under the tag of NaNoWriMo that I am not alone in this thinking. Seriously, for the last month, I've been obsessively reading every post on WordPress that has been tagged as such, and it really exploded today!) There is a lot to prepare in advance, and I don't just mean the story. Let's face it, planning a story is only part of what one should to do prepare for NaNo.
Today, I'm going to share some more tips for what you could do throughout this month to make sure you're ready to write on November 1st.
A few weeks ago, I shared some ideas for these pre-NaNo months that could help anyone who was planning to participate get ready. All of those tips still work for this month too. Honestly, if you're new to NaNoWriMo especially, I suggest you learn what works for you now, because you're not going to want to spend your first few days of writing trying to figure out where the best place is to write, or when you can get to it, or other things like that.
1. Consumables
NaNoWriMo is not the time for sleep. Caffeine can be a crucial ingredient for the month, so make sure you're stocked up on your favorite poison. I don't care for coffee, so I usually drink cappuccino (the kind from a powder). I drink iced tea, even in cold months, but it's normally decaf. Last year someone suggested switching to regular tea for November, so I may try that too. But for my birthday this year, I got a Keurig machine. Strange for someone who doesn't like coffee, I know, but since I discovered that I rather enjoy flavored coffees, I've gone kind of crazy for it. So I have a lot of that stocked up for November.
More than beverages, though, many people find that they want to snack more during NaNoWriMo. I know not everyone is as self-indulgent as I, so if you're more health conscious, you may want to skip the chocolate. Personally, though, I have plans to go to some stores on November 1 in the afternoon and buy up a bunch of post-Halloween-sale candy. Chips are also a staple for some, or any other snack-type foods you like.
2. Writing Tools
This may seem kind of obvious, but there are plenty of things that you may assume you'd remember, or you'd have available, but won't be able to find when the time comes. Make sure you have any notebooks you may need, pens or pencils, binders, planners, whatever physical items you use for writing. Put them all in one place and even contained in a transportable bag, box, etc. if your location for writing tends to change (either within the house or to coffee shops, library, or friend's house). I would advise that even if you are a true computer writer and don't use pen/paper for any stage of writing that you still carry a notebook and pen or pencil with you during November. It's a good back up in case anything goes wrong with electronic devices, and this is not a time to risk that.
In the virtual sense, make sure you know what programs or apps you want to use and have them on any computers or devices you may use. If you've heard a lot about a program but haven't tried it yet (like Scrivener or Evernote), download it now and play around with it before November. During NaNoWriMo is no time to be trying to learn a new software. I have some more virtual tools that I use for writing that I'll share during the rest of this month too.
3. Writing Buddies
I've mentioned before that now is the time to be finding your home region on the NaNoWriMo website. More than that, this is a good time to start scheduling your month for local events, if you can make it to those. I won't say that it's a necessity to attend, as I would be a hypocrite if I did. I've never been to a write-in, just the last few years' kick-off parties. Write-ins are usually 45 minutes away, and I'm a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom, so it's hard to get away. This year, though, my local library, which is about 5 minutes away, is going to have weekly write-ins, so I'm working out plans to at least go to the first one and see how it goes.
Whether you go to in-person events or not, it can be nice to connect with others in your area, even if only online. Introduce yourself in the forums, see if there is an online chat you can join in on, and just be part of the community. It's easy to get overwhelmed with the community if you let yourself, which is why I mostly stick to my region's forums, and don't venture much into the main forums.
Something else to be thinking about now is how you might best go about doing some word wars once November starts. (Word wars are where you and at least one other person agree on a set amount of time, usually 10-15 minutes, start writing at the same time, and compare your word count at the end.) Last year I was part of my first word wars, and let me tell you, they are very motivating. They were all virtual, taking place over Skype in a group some people from my region created. Almost every day there were word wars going on in the evening, and most of the Wrimos who were there regularly finished NaNo at least a week early, citing word wars as the reason why.
If you know people in person who are also doing NaNo, they'd be the obvious choice for word war competitors. However, you can usually find someone to go head-to-head with in your region, at write-ins esp, or if all else fails, there's a forum for that: http://nanowrimo.org/forums/word-wars-prompts-sprints
4. Involve Other Senses
So number 1 kind of covered taste, but that's not really what I mean. I've mentioned in a previous post about how the time leading up to November is a great time to discover what kind of writing atmosphere you need (if you don't already know). Do you require absolute silence? Some kind of white noise? Music? The last one is what I'm referring to right now.
Some people create a playlist for every story. I've read about people who will find music that matches the theme of their story, make a playlist from it (even if just on YouTube), and listen to it all month. Then, when November is over and they want to go back later and either finish the novel or revise it, they can listen to that music again, and it will put them right back in the mood. I've never done this, I think because music doesn't work that way in my head. Or maybe it's because I'm too lazy to spend time tracking down what music would fit my novel (though this year, I may just have the perfect music, given the subject matter).
One year, I did spend the whole month going back and forth between these two playlists: D&E NaNo songs, NaNoMusical songs
Whatever your taste in music is, an alternative to creating an audio scene for your story is creating an olfactory scene. Scent memory is said to be very powerful. Go to the store and smell all the candles or all the scented wax (if you have or are willing to buy the wax melter to go with it). Think of your story, what it's about, where it's set, who the main character(s) is/are. Is it a romance? Maybe something flowery or sensual. Is it set in a tropical location? Something with coconut or tropical fruit, perhaps. There are outdoor scents if your story involves a lot of forest or other outdoor scenes. Not every story lends itself easily to a scent, but pick something that smells right and have it burning/melting near you while you write all month. Then later, you may just be able to immerse yourself back into the book by activating that scent again.
5. To Sprint or Not To Sprint
NaNoWriMo begins at midnight on November 1. This year, that falls on Saturday night/Sunday morning. If you're the kind who stays up late, or can make an exception for one night, you can start writing right at midnight and get some words under your belt before going to bed. It's purely a mental trick, getting a jump start on the day's word count, but many people love to do the midnight sprint.
If you read my first Tips post, hopefully you have been getting used to how you like to write–what format you prefer, what items you'll need, what kind of writing environment you desire. If not, there is still time to do that. The best advice I can give is to start writing every day right now. Whether that writing is pre-writing for your NaNoNovel (brainstorming, outlining, character creation) or just free writing to get in the habit, it's a great idea to warm up before November starts, and not jump in cold.
Are you considering NaNoWriMo? Give me a shout if you're participating, and share what you do in October to get ready. Feel free to add me as a buddy on the site, though let me know you came from here somehow.

Clearview House
This project required alterations and additions to a Bowral blue stone cottage. The spaces were largely inward facing and sheltered from solar access, our aim was to improve the amenity of existing areas and open up new living areas to the north sun and relationship to the garden. A protected courtyard space and link between new and old structures was developed to allow cross ventilation and light into the centre. New living spaces incorporate an openness and lightness aspected north bringing the landscape, tree line and sky inside. The fabric of the new work comprises timber and steel construction clad externally with weatherboard and internally with plaster, new timber doors and windows. The new skillion roofline roof opens north while existing traditional rooflines were maintained. The beautiful gray colour of the bluestone is set to harmonize with the weatherboard left natural so that it will silver off over time. The new aspect created for this home provides energy efficient spaces that are warm in winter and cool in summer. This project was constructed by Frantom Building.

Camping Series Premiere Review: Funny And Exhausting At The Same Time
Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner, a pair whose last project for HBO was the successful six-season run of Girls. return to the premium cabler for the new comedy series Camping, a show that likely won't be dragged online after people take a joke about being the voice of its generation too seriously. An adaptation of the British comedy of the same name, Camping tells the story of a group of very high-maintenance people who gather for a weekend of — what else? — camping to celebrate the 45th birthday of one of their own. That individual is David Tennant's affable but meek Walt. Walt's married to Jennifer Garner's Kathryn, a woman who, in addition to being a wife and mother and aspiring Instagram influencer, is also in a prolonged recovery from a series of medical procedures (including a full hysterectomy), and has positioned herself as the ostensible ringleader of this particular gathering, with less-than-spectacular results.
Despite the relatively small scope of the series, it offers up a sizable ensemble that includes Ione Skye as Kathryn's sister Carleen, as well as her boyfriend, Joe (Chris Sullivan, This Is Us), friends George (Brett Gelman) and his partner Nina-Joy (Janicza Bravo), and recently separated Miguel (Arturo Del Puerto), who has brought along his new girlfriend of two-weeks, Jandice (Juliette Lewis). Each character is funny and also exhausting in his or her own way, particularly Kathryn who, various medical misfortunes aside is just… a lot. Everything on this show is a lot.

That's perhaps the best way to describe the angle Dunham and Konner have taken with their approach to the series' particular brand of situational comedy. It's constantly in search of ways to overload its character's circuits, to see how certain stimuli — like Kathryn's meticulous and highly regimented plans for "fun" during the weekend — creates disproportionate responses as the group's already tenuous connection begins to dissolve and create more conflict. This slow spiral out of control is exacerbated primarily by Kathryn and Jandice, whose attitudes toward the weekend (and life in general) seem to lean toward the extremes of control and chaos, respectively. The rest of the group is caught in the middle, or in the case of Walt, Carleen, and Orvis (Kathryn and Walt's son), they're caught in the wake of Kathryn's outsized and often taxing personality.
The cast is incredibly well suited to their roles. Gelman, in particular, has built a solid career playing seemingly normal guys who quickly reveal themselves to be holding on by the thinnest of threads. In other shows and movies, Gelman typically acts as the primary source of that brand of nervous energy, much like he did in FX's Married or Netflix's Love. Here, however, he's but one of several brittle personalities teaming with emotional baggage, and the result slightly dilutes the usual impact Gelman's presence typically has.
Aside from the always hilarious Bridget Everett's Harry, who manages the campground, Camping's biggest laughs come primarily from Lewis's free-spirited but secretly wanting Jandice, a reiki healer, DJ, cheesemaker, and notary, who has zero qualms about stripping down and jumping in a lake in front of a group of people she just met. Jandice's role in the premiere is meant to be bring another layer of disorganization to Kathryn's plans, but as the season roles on, and Jandice begins to reveal her wants — especially with regard to her relationship with Miguel — she becomes one of the most interesting and consistently entertaining characters the show has to offer. Her effort to connect with her fellow campers feels genuine, which is in stark contrast to nearly everyone else wallowing in the misery of an excruciatingly long weekend.
Jandice's rejection of conventional behavior makes her the perfect counterpoint to Kathryn's more rigid acceptance and adherence to certain norms. Like Jandice, though, Kathryn's behavior is a response to what's going on with her personally, and Garner is well suited to conveying that distinction to the audience. Kathryn is sad, afraid, and in pain, and her reaction is to seek out other areas in here life where she can regain a sense of control. The only problem is Kathryn's need for control has, well, gotten out of control, and it's distancing her from her husband and those closest to her. And, unlike Jandice, who pretends to be unaffected to the point of being aloof, Kathryn compels others to acknowledge all she's gone through and all the effort she puts into making things great despite those hardships. Basically, she just wants to be heard and appreciated.
That doesn't necessarily excuse her behavior, but Camping isn't interested in doing that anyway. It is interested in making Kathryn out to be someone more interesting than a two-dimensional "ball buster," as she's referred to in one of the later episodes. In that sense, Camping does what Girls often did so well. It constantly forces viewers to reevaluate how they feel about characters who are sympathetic and funny and relatable one moment, but then selfish and miserable and exhausting the next. The balance between those two sides of the characters and, as a result, the series itself, can be tricky. And try as it might, Camping sometimes tips too far in the direction of the latter. Kathryn and her fellow campers are a lot to take by design, and that can lead to some pretty big laughs. Other times it leads to tension headaches and the need to take a nap.

Camping continues next Sunday with 'Going to Town' @10pm on HBO.
