MaxKaote: fuck yeah we were bored. let us play with guns for a few weeks, then take away all books, tv, magazines, electronics, etc. and leave us alone in the barracks and you'll see some really frightening attempts to entertain ourselves
MaxKaote: can i be the best man? or the bride's maid? i wanna be the bride's maid!

I look at people, and all I can see is their face contorted in pleasure and pain, all I can see is them underneath me or above me or alongside me, thrashing and whimpering.
AlephCult: I had faith in humanity 'til I went to school
Genix: I hate asking things like this, it makes me feel like a neophyte again.

triskele: that takes the whole fun out of me forces someone to succumb
triskele: you guys are too willing.
triskele: go get laid.
triskele: then maybe I'll THINk about raping you.
AlephCult: now I'm always going to be wondering about what's going to end up on the quotes page
triskele: "In the Name of JESUS I cover you with the Blood of JESUS, I bind all your demons, I cut and burn the ungodly silver cords and lay lines, and I RETURN all curses sevenfold. JESUS IS THE DELIVERER!!"
AlephCult: I really need to practice. I had this one enchantment I fired just as a test, but I have yet to see anyone walking a pet chihuahua
ZlivingGo has been doing his best magick in the........bathroom
Xaronzon: so, what've you kids been up to while I've been away (again)
triskele: Xar: baiting demons, sacrificing angels, raping the willing..the usual :)
zallak: does anyone want a copy of magick in theory in practice IF slurple doesn't want it
zallak: my mom found it so it has to go
Xaronzon: And on the subject... How many nu-metal fans does it take to light an oven?
Xaronzon: come on... How many nu-metal fans does it take to light an oven?
AlephCult: how many?
Xaronzon: One, but he has to ask his mum's permission first.
Xaronzon: what on earth is sexist about forcing the weaker sex to change your lightbulbs for you?
Riordan: After reading the quote pages, I always regret not saying anything particularly witty in here

Augoras: oh yeah, the hats.
Augoras: with the feather in them..
Xaphiosis: does a condom count as a 'hat' ? :)
AlephCult: Augoras: anyone ever tell you your pic on krim's site makes it look like you're being torn apart atom by atom?
Xaphiosis: it makes you look anti-social
triskele could really use oral sex, a full body massage, some green tea, and tranquil music right now.
Xaphiosis: a man with an inexhaustable supply of money can devote all his time to masturbatory/mystical techniques :)

Riordan: Magick to lose weight: Create a servitor with a material base out of food products. Charge the sigil/base. Program it to burn the fat that you intake as well as increase your overall metabolism. Eat it. Try invoking it before you eat an especially high-fat or calorie meal.
MaxKaote: alephcult: i have a magickal practice for you that (A) makes great party tricks and (B) makes you deadly as fuck
AlephCult: MaxKaote: what, stabbing people?
MaxKaote: problem is you have to practice it dilligently every day for the better part of a year
ZlivingGo: deadly as fuck?
ZlivingGo: TELL ME!
AlephCult: and that is?
MaxKaote: the other problem is that you'll need some material components: a deep pot (12-14 inches), a steady supply of soybeans and tiger balm, and later on a steady supply of tofu
AlephCult: okay...
AlephCult: does this have anything to do with lighting farts?
ZlivingGo: sound like a cooking show.

Seek0: A word to the angst-ridden, numb-minded, parentally confuckeded teenage satanists: Oh, you'll grow up one of these days and figure it all out. You already know that. You continually believe in your own false rationalizations that some how, some way, you will alter the course of your own true will.

demoncat smiles and licks fingers in anticipation
demoncat: okay..i need to go masturbate and get on with the rest of my day
zosX: heya helena
zosX: how are you?

About Him
Grew Up... in Russia. Andrew Ryan's harsh childhood in Soviet Russia is what soured him on Communism and the idea of sharing wealth. He eventually fled to America.
Living... in Rapture. Rapture is an underwater city beneath the Atlantic Ocean where superior people are absolutely free to realize their true potential without "parasites" in the surface world getting in the way. Genetic materials ADAM and EVE, harvested from native sea slugs, also grant Rapture residents incredible powers.
Profession... founder of Rapture. Andrew Ryan started Rapture in 1946 after WWII using his immense wealth. It's an extension of his extreme Objectivist philosophy: "No gods or kings. Only Man." As the revered leader of Rapture, he also heads its council along with Ryan Industries.
Interests... golf. Ryan is rarely seen, usually just heard over the radio. But he has been known to play golf inside his office.
Relationship Status... single. Caring only about oneself is the greatest virtue according to Ryan, and he's never had a wife. But he did father a child with his mistress Jasmine Jolene.
Challenge... maintaining control of Rapture. Considering that selfishness is considered sacred in Rapture, the supposed utopia not surprisingly soon erupted into civil war with various factions vying for power and control. So Ryan struggles to maintain order in his city. His biggest rivals are the notorious gangster Frank Fontaine and the revolutionary Atlas.
Personality... self-determined and zealous. Andrew Ryan has utter faith in the power of the individual and utter contempt for the collective. Only he could single-handedly will a place like Rapture into existence. As he says, "A man chooses, a slave obeys."

From the BMC – How to be hill fit: 12 tips to stay fast
The best way to prepare yourself for the hills is to get out in the hills. But what if you can only get out once a month? Running guide Sarah Ridgway reveals her secrets to staying fast.
Simply, the fitter you are, the more you will enjoy the hills; but there is no quick fix. John developed a consistent approach, set goals, and built it into his life. It doesn't matter where you live: get moving on a regular basis, safely increase effort to build fitness, avoid high monotony (same route and distance, day after day), and set goals. If time is an issue, try running.
There are no excuses for not developing base fitness, but there are peculiarities about moving in the mountains that need specific training – such as technique and balance on uneven terrain, leg strength and endurance for continuous long climbs, and leg conditioning and core strength for continuous descents.
To help speed you along, here are my 12 tips to keep hill fit and stay fast:
1. Make it relevant
The best results are gained from sports specific to muscles used on the hill. Fast-walk local hills. No hills? Cycle and run. A brisk walk is better than nothing, but to improve you may have to be that person on the treadmill (set at Everest mode) with the 60L pack.
2. Add intensity
Find a steep road or stairs with 50-100m height gain: fast walk or run up then walk slowly back down. Repeat 4-6 times. Reverse for downhill training.
3. Memories of screaming calves and quads?
Prepare for big climbs by resistance training. Squats and lunges will get those butt muscles firing (and unless you work on engaging them they probably aren't doing much for you right now). Core-muscle strength benefits balance.
4. Work on 'skill fitness'
The better you are at navigating, the more mental energy you will have for walking exposed and technical terrain, as well as the confidence to blast out on your own without relying on other people.
5. Urban equivalents
Technical terrain takes concentration: the better you are, the more energy you'll have for other tasks. Find the roughest trail near you (or just use steps), and practice trotting through a section. Think light-fast-feet. Get a feel for how your balance responds to slips on loose terrain.
6. Be prepared to travel
Find your nearest green space with trails and make an effort to blast out, even if for an hour.
7. Have goals
If you don't actually get out on the 'real stuff' your motivation will wane. Make plans and commit to them.
Lack of confidence can also be an issue when you've not been on the hills for a while. Perhaps you haven't been able to get your fitness good as you'd like or you've bitten off a bit more than you can chew. Here's how to cope:
8. Know what you are up for
Study the elevation profile. Knowing how many big climbs you have to tackle can prevent those tantrum moments when presented with yet another mammoth ascent.
9. Eat, drink and be merry
The better hydrated and fuelled you are the better your recovery and enjoyment. Don't stuff yourself to the point of discomfort before setting off; pack snack-sized amounts to have every hour while moving.
10. Pack efficiently
Invest time in understanding what you do and don't need to carry. Err on the side of caution until experienced, but if you've never used those extra socks…
11. Maintain good technique
On uphills keep a sustainable pace. Avoid 'Jesus moments'. You know them: you go off at break-neck speed. It feels great at first… then bang… lungs go, legs go, you're bent over, hands on knees, gasping. Poles can help, but use them efficiently. On downhills think light-fast-feet and don't tense up. An efficient descent makes for an easier climb, so don't hammer down unless you're happy to trash your quads. Don't fight technical terrain or let it frustrate you. If you find yourself stumbling, tidy up your technique.
12. Have a nice cup of harden the…
Don't upset yourself. If you're finding it hard going up Elidir Fawr, remember it's hard going up Elidir Fawr. Simply get your head down and concentrate on strong technique. Everyone has lows. It will pass. The highs do follow.
Lastly: chill out
At the end of the day, stretch calves, quads and glutes. Find a river and 'leg dip' for five minutes. Rest up, enjoy a hearty meal and you might find you are up for another big day tomorrow.

Are electronic toothbrushes worth all of the hype? The answer is yes! While there are various designs, brush types, movements and sizes, electronic toothbrushes can greatly increase the plaque removal levels during your routine home care compared to a manual toothbrush.
Electric brushes make hundreds to thousands of strokes or vibrations per second. Compare that to how many strokes you make back and forth with a manual brush, and the reasons why electric toothbrushes are better is clear.
Patients that have added oral hygiene concerns such as those who wear orthodontics, oral appliances or have prosthetics such as implants or dental bridges, electric toothbrushes can make a tremendous impact on the amount of plaque that builds up in hard-to-reach areas.
You should brush your teeth for a minimum of 2 minutes, twice each day. Many electric brushes have built in timers that remind you how long to brush. With the added irrigation, stimulation and brush strokes, 2 minutes of electric brushing can keep a mouth much healthier than using a manual brush for the same amount of time.
Everyone can benefit from using an electric toothbrush. Even if you don't have any oral hygiene concerns whatsoever, using a high quality electric brush can help stimulate your gums and promote better gum health, reducing the risk of gum disease and tooth loss. It's estimated that 9 out of 10 adults have some form of gingivitis. With proper brushing and an electric toothbrush, and flossing, most of these people could easily help eliminate their symptoms on their own.
The right electric toothbrush can be one of the best investments that you ever make for your teeth. Talk to your dentist about which brush is right for you!
A fairly common occurrence in the mouth is the existence of extra bone development along the outside or inside of the jawline near the teeth, or in the roof of…
Lingual frenectomy and lingual frenuloplasty are both dental procedures used to correct a condition called ankyloglossia. Ankylogloassia, more commonly known as 'tied tongue', is an abnormality of the lingual frenulum….
Sedation dentistry is a wonderful option for many people who would not or cannot tolerate dentistry in a traditional dental setting. Many people have a fear of visiting the dentist,…

Everything I write is a nuisance, a buzz in the brain, an idea that won't be quiet. Finally I write it down, because it's time for it to leave my imagination and go bother someone else.
Here's an example: Something about mothers and daughters kept bugging me. The fear women express, the fear that they will become their mothers, even if they love their mothers. The fear of not being a good mother, of not being anyone, of losing identity and not being sure who they are. This is a feeling I heard friends talk about, and it struck a chord with me. I started paying more attention to the cycles of behavior between generations of women, and I started writing. That idea is now a novel.
Here is another example: I lived in Seattle for twenty years. Something about the place has been nagging me for a long time. It has been worrying other people, too. I know because my friends have talked about it over lunch, over coffee, during rehearsals, and via email and Facebook. It has to do with the rate of change, and being lost in the momentum of that. It has to do with simultaneous desires for motion and a sense of permanence. It's about love and longing, disappointment and rage.
This minor irritation became a full-blown, annoying idea thanks to a conversation with Meghan Arnette. Meghan is the artistic director at Live Girls! Theater. We first met when we worked together at 14/48.
Meghan and I had coffee while I was in Seattle preparing to launch another project. We talked about living in Seattle. We talked about change. We talked about the restless energy of the city. Then Meghan mentioned the spite mounds, and I heard a sound like a storm approaching.
As our conversation continued, the thing that had been darting here and there at the fringes of my consciousness settled for a moment so that I could see it clearly: Things have always been this way.
That's what I thought. Then:
Despite its egalitarian Do It Yourself tradition, this place has broken the hearts of many people. Not only the garage bands that didn't become Nirvana. Not only the couples that worked multiple jobs yet couldn't afford a down payment on a real house. Not only Doc Maynard.
This place must have broken the hearts of the Native people who watched its rivers and hills change drastically under the will of invaders whose time had come. These entrepreneurs launched massive landscape re-grades. They solved the problem of property owners who would not go along by plowing around them, leaving stark mounds of useless, insurmountable earth sticking up out of the ground: Spite mounds.
The image of the spite mounds reminded me of news photos of Edith Macefield's home in Ballard, surrounded on three sides by massive construction. The dwarfed residence looked like a toy, or (as playwright Darian Lindle later pointed out) an inversion of the spite mounds.
I started writing "Emerald City" in November of 2008. I wrote the first draft as part of National Playwriting Month (NaPlWriMo), an annual project shepherded by Dorothy Lemoult. The pace of writing an 85-page script in a month requires tricky thinking. Almost immediately I knew who the four main characters would be, and I knew what drove them:
Dot was a woman who was raised by her aunt, inherited her aunt's house, and now had to decide whether to maintain it in an neighborhood where everything else had changed, or let it go and move on. Her conflict was about home, and what home means.
Scarlett was a woman trying to write a story (originally a dissertation, but this evolved into a magazine article). She was following an intellectual desire and a need to complete an assignment.
Tina was a college friend who provided a place for Scarlett to stay while she was in town. Tina had followed a love interest to Seattle, and stayed on despite her inability to make the object of her affection return her love.
Lillian was in love with Scarlett, and terrified of staying home and being on her own. She needed to find herself again, and overcome her paralyzing fear of solitude.
Why did the characters have names and motivations that echoed those of The Wizard of Oz? My mind works this way, making story out of themes and images, juxtaposing and pulling from everything I've read and experienced. The Emerald City I was building required this flight of fancy, this fairy tale element from childhood when wishes could come true.
Once the first draft was hammered out, I set it aside and started researching. I read recent memoirs by well-known authors who had lived in Seattle. I dabbled in history books and studies of the Native bands that occupied the area for thousands of years before Seattle's founding fathers stumbled onto the beach at Alki.
In May of 2009 Live Girls! Theater offered a public reading of the play directed by Meghan. I went to the Museum of History and Industry, where I was allowed to peruse materials that were rare or hard to find in libraries. Meghan and I went on Mercedes Yeager's ghost tour of the Pike Place Market, to hear more folk tales and history about the downtown area.
Before and after the reading we discussed the themes embedded in the play's contemporary story. The audience seemed excited to share personal views of the city. I took notes.
I am far from being an expert on Seattle, its history, its people, or its geography. Like many writers, I read and re-read books and articles that inspire or motivate me, and I sample whatever else I need to get to the heart of my story. The research is like an archeological dig. I sift and sort, find a treasure, find dirt, find things that seem to serve no purpose until I put them in context and the larger picture begins to emerge.
Last spring Live Girls! Theater presented another public reading of a revised draft. I took the notes from that reading and began to work again: More books, more stories, more ideas. With each keystroke "Emerald City" continues to grow.
Tonight, as every night this month, I am at work revising the script. I'm building my own "Emerald City" with help from Live Girls! Theater. So, not all hearts are broken in Seattle. Some dreams come true.
For now the buzz, the trouble, the idea that won't be quiet is still mine. Soon it will be yours.

Unilever plots foray into haircare for Lynx brand
Unilever is launching a range of haircare products under its flagship male grooming brand Lynx. The range for Lynx, which is marketed in other parts of the world as Axe, will launch initially in the US ahead of a possible roll-out in the UK.
A range of ten products will be introduced in the US. The haircare line, called Axe Hair, includes Just Clean shampoo; De-Glue shampoo and scrub, which uses rock crystals to remove gel and other styling product build-up; an anti-dandruff shampoo; a 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner; and Just Soft conditioner.
The range, aimed at Lynx's core market of 18- to 24-year-old men, also includes four styling products: Messy-Look Paste, Spiked-Up Look Putty, Clean-Cut Look Pomade and Shaggy Look Cream.
It is the brand's first foray into haircare. Lynx has already extended into skincare products for the body in some parts of the world. In the UK, Unilever sells Lynx Snake Peel, an exfoliating body scrub.
Unilever says there are no immediate plans to launch the haircare products in the UK. If the products are successful, however, it is expected the range will be introduced in several international markets.
The brand's most recent UK launches were a body spray variant containing traces of chocolate and whipped cream called Dark Temptation, introduced early this year; and Lynx3, a dual body spray that incorporates two fragrances and allows users to combine the two or use each individually. It was launched in mid-2008 (MW January 10). Unilever also added an anti-perspirant, Sharp Focus, to its Lynx Dry range.
The launches were all supported by major marketing campaigns created by Bartle Bogle Hegarty, which has worked with Lynx since 1995.

Few places capture the imagination or the American spirit like Texas. Only the mystique is large enough to stand up to the sheer expanse of this biggerthan-life place. So how does one explore it? The natural place to start is where it all began.
To see Texas from the beginning, come to its first city. Nacogdoches is a crossroads first settled by Native American Indians and a gateway so hotly contested that the flags of nine nations have flown above her.

Start Writing!JOTA_001_ON_THE_CARDS_2138_10_10_17_W1151
Jane walked quickly along the country path. The journey from the big house into the village was a short one, but still the shadows thrown up by the distant setting sun put her on edge.
The appointment to see the old woman had been made on her behalf by Mrs Covington the housekeeper, but the Old Woman had stipulated that Jane must come alone.
Some people in the village said that the Old Woman was wise beyond her years while others said she was simply mad. Everyone, however was in agreement that she was indeed a witch of some sort although none one would ever have the nerve to say it to the Old Womans face.
Jane was sure she knew better than to believe in this sort of thing and why she had agreed to the visit in the first place was frankly beyond her.
In the autumnal sky, high above her there was a noise not dissimilar to a giant bee while beyond the hedges she could hear clanging of bells and soft mooing sounds of cows being taken in for the night.
The droning noise grew in intensity and looking up through a gap in the trees, Jane could see what was making the insectoid drone and recognised it immediately as a Valkrie 350 monoplane.
The sight of such fantastic modern technology made her heart leap with joy. To see something so flimsy prove that humans we were meant to fly.
The old woman's house was on the very outskirts of the village beyond the short rise and she had lit a welcoming lantern to help guide Jane through the evening gloom. The lamp had managed to attract a handful of moths which darted at random towards the flame saved only by the glass and brass that shielded the light.
The house was squat with smooth rendering, giving it the look not unlike a huge stone pumpkin.
There was a small garden beyond a well kept stone wall, which was filled with mismatched flowers and vegetables all working their way slowly towards a pot.
Tentatively, Jane knocked at the door of the tiny house.
Jane thought to herself that, if this were a door inside one of Mrs Covington's penny dreadful, then she was convinced that it would have creaked open in an overly dramatic way. With a small smile Jane noted that it simply swung silently open.
Inside was the warm welcoming sight of the Old Woman, she wore a smile as wide as the sky and had eyes as mischievous as any denizen from hell.
"What can I do for you?"
"Surely you already know." Said Jane trying to act in the most nonchalant manner she could manage.
"Oh of course I know why you are here but it's just nice to hear it." The Old Woman was used to people testing powers and she was confident enough to know that she could withstand any argument they chose to throw her way.
The figures stood in silence and then the Old Woman motioned for Jane to take a seat at the kitchen table.
"Shall we begin?"
"There's no time like the present." Said Jane with as much bravado as she could muster. Dragging the sturdy kitchen chair from its place near the door.
On the table lay a red silk cloth and upon the cloth sat a small stack of cards and a pair of fine bone china tea cups.
"Do you read tea leaves too?" enquired Jane.
"Tea is for the drinking. The cards are for the future." Said the Old woman as she passed the cards to Jane. "Close your eyes and Give them a good shuffle my dearie."
"Close my eyes?"
"Yes... And think about what you want from the future."
Jane looked at the cards in her hand, They were finely printed and had a multitude of characters printed on the them. Some of the figures had swords and daggers while others were all together more mysterious.
Following the instructions, Jane turned the pack over, closed her eyes and began to shuffle.
While she suffled she felt a curious sensation. A wave of calm washed over her and she felt more alive than she had in some time.
As her hands moved and manipulated the cards, for the tiniest of moments everything had an aquamarine glow.
Then it was gone.
"What was that?" asked Jane opening her eyes.
"What was what?" replied the woman perplexed at the question.
Shaking of the strange sensation "How long do I do this?" Asked Jane slightly embarrassed.
The womans smile grew even wider as she answered. "You can stop whenever you want... Now you place the cards down."
Silently the Old Woman pointed out areas of the cloth and slowly a pattern began to appear. All the time the Old Woman was careful never to touch the cards until Jane had finished, By the time they were done there was a cross shape at the centre and a curve around the edge with all the cards face down
"Now what?" asked Jane with new found confidence.
"Now we see what the future has in store."
It was clear that the old fortune teller revelled in this moment. With the very tip of her finger nail she flipped the first card then another and another.
With each card turn her smile vanished until she turned the last and sat back in her char with a gasp of exasperation.
All of the cards were blank.
"Is this some sort of trick?" asked Jane.
The Old Woman looked accusingly as Jane. "I don't understand. What did you do?"
"You asked me to close my eyes... remember."
The Old Woman was confused and lost in thought. "Yes. Yes I did." Her voice trailed off.
"So what does it mean?" asked Jane.
"I think it means that you have no destiny.... or maybe it means that you are in charge of it."
"Isn't everyone?"
"No... Not like this. Your destiny must be something... more than the cards can know... something unknown..." deflated the Old Woman sat back in her chair opposite Jane and sipped her tea.
Jane felt pocket of her jacket and for the coin she had brought to pay for services rendered, she flipped it high in the air then, in one smooth movement, caught it and pushed it across the table.
She had taken the Old Woman's time after all, if not her knowledge.
Jane said a simple "Thank you." As her father had always said that it costs nothing to be polite and then she headed out to the door and into the cold autumn night.
The plane was parked in the field next to the cottage and she saw no reason not to head directly towards it. After all, why bother to walk on when you can fly.

Jack Cafferty asks: Is the TSA going too far when it makes a 4-year-old disabled boy remove his leg braces?
Shawn Hamilton answers: "Yes, Jack. We're glad you finally noticed."
Hear more on this ridiculous TSA exploit here:
Note: This isn't a recent story but from February 2010. It shows that the new TSA policies, reprehensible and misguided as they are currently, are not a new phenomenon. TSA has been focusing its laser eyes and giving "freedom pats" to infants, disabled people, and our elders for a long time.

This goes out to all the fathers in the blogosphere. HFD.
I got a call this morning from Devon, wishing me a Happy Father's Day and I had to think a moment to realize I needed to wish him the same!
Here are the fathers and sons in my family.
I called my dad to wish him HFD. He's the best. I love you, dad.
I got another call a few minutes ago from Lacie wishing me HFD. That was special, too.
A special wish to Tom Van for a HFD. They just changed phone #s and we don't have it yet. (wonder if that is intentional?)
Enjoy the day!

City moved quickly to agree a deal for the 19-year-old midfielder after he impressed during the tournament even though his side crashed out in the group stages.
Zinchenko has agreed a five-year-deal at The Etihad to seal his move from FC Ulfa in the Russian Premier League.
The teenager became the youngest player to score for Ukraine last season, taking the record off Andrei Shevchenko.
And now he is expected to go straight into Pep Guardiola's first team plans as the former Bayern Munich and Barcelona boss begins his career in the Premier League.

Guardiola has already started making changes to his squad, with Ilkay Gundagan arriving in a £20million deal from Borussia Dortmund.
And over the weekend, City wrapped up the signing of Celta Vigo ace Nolito for £14million.
No official fee for Zinchenko has been announced but it is thought to be in the region of £15million.
Guardiola's spending spree is unlike to stop at the Ukrainian, with England defender John Stones also a major target if City can agree a fee with Everton.
