To further illustrated this meaning, the overall atmosphere of Heaven's Will Palace was both oppressive and heavy. The dark palace was entirely built using mountain rocks with a high concentration of iron, and the characters engraved on the plaque hanging above the entrance were dull and gray. The feeling it gave forth was like the Heaven's Will that was heavily pressing on a person. It couldn't be defied, it couldn't be changed, it couldn't be overridden, and one could only accept it passively.
Haoying Fengying continued explaining besides Wu Qi. As a matter of fact, the Heaven's Will Palace of Heaven Breaking Sword Sect was not the only one that was built in such fashion. The exact same design could be found in all thirteen Immortal Sects of Great Yan Dynasty. It was as if Great Yan Dynasty had the intention to imply some hidden messages through the design. As for what kind of message they tried to convey, it could only be comprehended by each individual, as no outsider could tell them about it.
They walked along the black-pebbled path for quite a distance, and finally arrived at the main hall of Heaven's Will Palace. The hall ran deep and wide, at least one thousand feet in both length and width, yet the ceiling was only less than twenty feet tall. Although the palace looked oppressive from the outside, when Wu Qi came into the main hall of it, the feeling of oppressiveness was at least one hundred times greater than when he was on the outside.
In this spacious hall of low ceiling, the walls were painted black, were the ceiling and the floor. Although it was dark inside, there were only six candle holders that could be found scattered around, each having a few large tallow candles lit on it, which made the hall to be poorly lit. A few old men were seen sitting on a cushion at the far end of the hall, looking like they were occupied with nothing. They seemed like a group of ghosts in this dim and spacious hall.
Haoying Fengying brought Wu Qi and came to the far end of the main hall and bent down and bowed towards the few old men respectfully.
The aura emanating from these old men was vague and subtle. Their skin was dried, wizened, and their body was thin and skinny. It looked like with just a light press of the finger, their gray-colored skin would turn into ashes and peel off from their bodies. Actually, all of them were peak Xiantian experts who had broken through the Embryonic Breath tier of Xiantian realm. Their spirit and Qi had gathered and condensed inwardly within their body, and no energy essence could easily leak from them. Among these old men, Wu Qi could sense a vague, sharp and vigorous life force from one of them. Apparently, that old man was a mighty expert who had one of his legs stepped into Gold Core realm.
As long as he took another step, he would transform from a Xiantian Daoist to a Human Immortal, and that would give him at least eight hundred years of life. One step mortal, another step Immortal, obviously, this old man had the most important status among all five of them, and the other four old men actually took him as their leader.
When the old man who almost formed his Gold Core saw Haoying Fengying approaching, he let out a dried smile and said, "Oh it is you, Fengying. I thought you are supposed to patrol the sect today? Why do you come to Heaven's Will Palace? Who is this little kid? A new apprentice? Why I never heard any of our Elders accepting a new apprentice?"
Haoying Fengying smiled and said, "Third Great-Uncle, this is Wu Qi, a new apprentice who Sect Leader had just accepted a few days ago, and was requested by Princess Zhang Le herself. Princess Zhang Le said that if Sect Leader refused to accept Wu Qi as his apprentice, she would cut off this year's supply of energy stones and magical items. That is why Sect Leader had personally accepted him as his apprentice!"
"Oh." The few old men let out a slight exclamation together, then rested their eyes curiously on Wu Qi's face. The Third Great-Uncle of Haoying Fengying, Haoying Xiong, felt surprised, nodded his head and said, "Upon the request by Princess Zhang Le? It is true that she would do something like this. Do you remember how Bai Xiaguan offended her three years ago? And the consequence? Princess Zhang Le sent her men and threw all the energy stones and magical items that were supposed to be given to Bai Xiaguan that year into Myriad Red River, from upper to the lower reaches!"
All old men burst out into laughter. Haoying Xiong waved his hand at Wu Qi and called him over, saying with a smile on his face, "Since you're the new apprentice accept by Sect Leader, the result of the bone structure test is not that important. However, since you've come to Heaven's Will Palace, it is also a nice thing to have some knowledge regarding your own bone structure."
Haoying Xiong smacked his lips and continued, "If you really do have the bone structure of cultivating into Immortal, you better put in a hard effort in your cultivation. Perhaps you could form your Gold Core and get to live a few hundred years of leisurely life. Yet, if you don't have the bone structure of cultivating into an Immortal, no one would throw you out from Heaven Breaking Sword Sect. After all, you're the apprentice of Sect Leader! By borrowing the reputation of Heaven Breaking Sword Sect, you can still bully men and women in Ji City for over a hundred years. That is still something very enjoyable."
Cold sweat was seen breaking out from Wu Qi's forehead. This Haoying Xiong was indeed a straightforward man, and what he said was actually correct. Out of all three thousand apprentices under Nie Baihong, not all of them were having talent in cultivating Dao. At least half of them didn't possess any potential in cultivating. Nevertheless, all these three thousand apprentices were still the apprentices of the Heaven Breaking Sword Sect. Taking that Haoying Fenglong as an example, he didn't even cultivate much of innate energy, but that didn't stop him from becoming the apprentice of Heaven Breaking Sword Sect and continue holding the status of the first priority of his clan's inheritor!
The few old men, including Haoying Xiong, kept chitchatting among themselves before suddenly recalled the purpose of Wu Qi's visit. Haoying Xiong brought his hand onto the floor and pressed a few times. A few pieces of thick and heavy tiles on the floor slowly slid aside, revealing a stone platform that gradually rose from underground. On the square surface of the stone platform was a white crystal pillar, nearly ten feet tall and with the diameter of a water bucket. Wu Qi recognized this object, as it was mentioned in Scroll of Stealing. It was an instrument that was used specifically in determining the potential and bone structure of a cultivator- 'Nascent Peeking Spiritual Crystal'.
Without saying a word, Wu Qi stepped onto the stone platform, placed his right palm onto the crystal and injected a thread of his innate energy into it.
A watery gleam flashed from the Nascent Peeking Spiritual Crystal, and a faded blue glow emerged from it. Haoying Xiong nodded his head slowly and said, "Hmm, you do have Spirit Seed, which is not considered bad. No matter to what degree your Spirit Seed grows into, having one is better than having none. It is a Water elemental Spirit Seed, so you can cultivate the sword style of 'Azure Water Sword'. If your Spirit Seed were Earth or Fire elemental, that would be a problem!"
Staggeringly, Haoying Xiong rose to his feet and walked up onto the stone platform. He then formed a finger gesture and unleashed a seal into the crystal.
A large curtain of white light immediately surged out from the crystal, covering Wu Qi into it. Catalyzed by this white light, Wu Qi felt all his Qi and blood flowing quickly in his body, and all his Qi essence was rushing toward his Spiritual Ocean without his control, forcefully slamming onto a mysterious spot found within his Spiritual Ocean.
An indistinct buzzing noise echoed out as a curtain of ray burst out from Wu Qi's temple, revealing a vague, incorporeal figure in it. Haoying Xiong took out a ruler from his sleeve, using it he measured against the vague figure. He nodded his head smilingly and said, "Your Innate Nascent Embryo is five feet tall. Excellent, this is an upper tier Innate Nascent Embryo."
Wu Qi exercised his will, and the information regarding Innate Nascent Embryo he learned from Scroll of Stealing immediately emerged in his mind.
Innate Nascent Embryo had nothing to do with Daoist of Xiantian realm and Human Immortal of Gold Core realm. However, once cultivators formed their Nascent Soul and became an Earth Immortal of Nascent Soul, their achievement would have a huge connection to their innate Nascent Embryo. It determined the highest achievement an Earth Immortal could reach, because the maximum height a Nascent Soul could reach was in relation to the height of an Innate Nascent Embryo.
For a three feet tall Innate Nascent Embryo, the Nascent Soul would reach to the maximum height of three feet. And for a six feet tall Innate Nascent Embryo, the Nascent Soul would reach the maximum height of six feet. And for every inch the Nascent Soul grew, on an average, the overall strength of a cultivator would strengthen by threefold. But it also depended on the skill the cultivator was cultivating with. If the degree of overall strength for a one-inch tall Nascent Soul were considered 1, the overall strength of a three feet tall Nascent Soul would be 90, while a six feet tall Nascent Soul would have the overall strength of 180.
In general, the tallest Innate Nascent Embryo a cultivator could have was six feet tall. One foot tall was considered the lowest tier, two feet was lower tier, three feet was middle lower tier, four feet was middle tier, five feet was upper tier and six feet was superior tier. When one had his Nascent Embryo reached to the height of over six feet, then he was destined to attain the cultivation of Gold Immortal. Wu Qi's Innate Nascent Embryo was five feet tall. Among all cultivators, this was considered an excellent potential of one in a hundred. If he could cultivate to the Nascent Soul realm, his achievement would definitely be greater than others.
A brief smile appeared on Wu Qi's face. He didn't take the matter concerning his Innate Nascent Embryo to heart. For someone who was cultivating with Scroll of Stealing, the size of his Innate Nascent Embryo would never become the determining factor that restricted his future achievement. Even if his Innate Nascent Embryo were only three inches tall, that would not affect him at all. There was nothing under the heaven that he couldn't steal, and according to Scroll of Stealing, Innate Nascent Embryo was also one of the things that he could steal. As long as he stole a thread of Innate Fortune Energy from someone, Wu Qi's Innate Nascent Embryo could keep growing and growing, and could even reach to the height of six thousand feet, let alone six feet tall.
When Haoying Xiong saw Wu Qi's depreciating expression, he thought Wu Qi didn't understand the importance of Innate Nascent Embryo. Thus he quickly explained to Wu Qi about the pros and cons. In the end, with mixed emotions, he even told Wu Qi that his own Innate Nascent Embryo was only three feet and six inches tall, considered a middle tier potential. If one day he were able to make the breakthrough and stepped into Nascent Soul realm, his achievement would not be too significant.
After all, when a cultivator was facing his Heavenly Tribulation, the stronger his Nascent Soul was, the higher chance he would have in transcending the tribulation!
There was only one last test Wu Qi had to go through. Haoying Xiong took out a thumbnail size, perfect square lower tier Water elemental energy stone. The amount of energy stored in this kind of energy stone was fixed, and Haoying Xiong requested Wu Qi to absorb all the energy within it within the time frame of an hour.
Wu Qi exercised the Qi Circulating Technique of Five Elements within his body, holding the energy stone in his palm and began to slowly absorb the thin energy in it. The Qi Circulating Technique of Five Elements was really not a good cultivation technique. Within an hour of time, Wu Qi could only absorb thirty percent of the energy stored within the energy stone, and out of this thirty percent, only nine percent of it could stay within his meridians and transform into innate energy of five elements.
That also meant, Wu Qi could only keep thirty percent of the energy with the technique. Out of all the natural energies he absorbed, he could only transform thirty percent of them into his innate energy.
With regards to this result, Wu Qi really felt that this Qi Circulating Technique of Five Elements was the lousiest cultivating technique. However, Haoying Xiong and few others were nodding their head in satisfaction. By being able to keep thirty percent of energy, it was considered that Wu Qi had a pretty good talent in cultivation. Among all three thousand apprentices under Nie Baihong who owned a Spirit Seed, most of them couldn't even keep twenty percent of energy.
Eventually, Haoying Xiong and the other old men gave out their review for Wu Qi's bone structure and potential. He possessed a Spirit Seed, thus, he could cultivate the Dao. His Spirit Seed was of Water elemental, a perfect candidate to cultivate Azure Water Sword style. His Innate Nascent Embryo was five feet tall, which signified an excellent potential. He could keep thirty percent of the absorbed energy. All of this made him reach to the level of an elite apprentice.
In brief, according to Haoying Xiong, Wu Qi was an elite talent who was suitable to be further developed in Heaven Breaking Sword Sect. As long as no accident happened to him, he could attain the cultivation of Gold Core realm easily. As he had cultivated to Xiantian realm at his young age, thus, it was highly possible that he could form his Gold Core within one hundred years.
Before Haoying Xiong could finish his words, a loud laugh suddenly came from the entrance of the main hall. "Who would have thought to see an excellent talent here? Who is your Master? Why don't you join me, the Sect Elder, and become my apprentice?"
As the laughter kept going on, an old man clad in black robe was seen striding towards them.

A bunch of losers and two "hot chicks" are making a documentary about an ax murderer and an incident that occurred on the island near where they live. Legend has it that the island is haunted. They interview some people and all, and they finally go to the island, ignoring that the stories might be true…
Bad, bad, bad. It all begins with an awkward and shameful intro for the film. Onscreen text that talks about "ghost facts" (what?) and the story of severed feet washing ashore in someplace in Canada. After a terrible staged news flash, we are introduced to characters even more awkward than the intro and a cliched story about a haunted place.
This is a film I'll recommend NOT to watch to anyone I have the chance to…
Plot is a 0/10
The documentary thing is why the character keeps filming. "We can edit things out", the lead character says. Sadly it's evident that this is nothing but a work of fiction. And a really bad one… By the climax, someone is injured and the camera falls to the floor… conveniently showing the hurt character! At random times, the date and hour display at the bottom-right corner of the screen, something I'm pretty sure no camera does… There's pointless running in circles in the middle of night in a forest, and there's just screaming and the classic "I knew it was a bad idea to come here" cliche. Oh god…
The found footage setting is just an excuse for the non-existent budget this film had.
Footage is a 0/10
Why even bother… These guys are no actors. Just a couple of friends who thought it'd be fun to make an amateur movie… I hope they had fun, because I surely didn't. Hearing them try to act was one of the most painful things I've been through, and the only reason I watched until the end was just so that I could firmly state that this is one of the worst movies I've seen. None of the characters here are able to even express an emotion without having it sound extremely fake.
It's clear that everyone involved in the movie is friends with each other in real life, so they had the confidence to act horribly and still produce this film shamelessly.
Acting is a 0/10
Given the previous three points I guess it's clear that Severed Footage isn't immersive. It's just sad…
Immersion is a 0/10
(If I could rate it 0 here and on IMDb, oh boy, I totally would)

2019 Project Pan Update 1
For 2019, I embarked on a year-long project pan that was a little more loosely organized than my previous attempts. I didn't want to get bogged down in certain products and start feeling resentful of the project.
Tarte Maracuja Oil
I've been making some solid progress with my Maracuja Oil. But it still has a long way to go. Even with dedicated use, I won't be able to use this up by the end of the year. Even though the large size is the best value, I won't ever purchase it again. It's too difficult to transport while traveling, and the product is practically guaranteed to go off or be less effective by the time I finish it. Still, it has been helping my skin stay nourished during a long, dry winter. Since it's fairly lightweight, I have hope for it through spring and summer.
La Neige Lip Sleeping Mask
I do love this product, but I have the same issue I had before that once I put this on my lips, I don't want to drink any water or anything. Since I have water by my bed, it means this has to be the absolute last thing I do at night. And frankly, I just sometimes forget. I've tried using a lighter coat in the morning first thing when I wake up, since I won't really drink anything until I get to work and have my first coffee. But it's just more effective overnight, especially when used with a scrub.
Rosebud Perfume Co. Strawberry Lip Balm
I've been making decent progress on this product. But I can't seem to get photos of the interior that capture the dip. Once I hit pan (maybe this quarter?!) I'm hoping my camera skills will improve.
Koty Airspun Loose Powder
Again, this is a product that doesn't travel well. When I was younger I used to bring loose powders with me on vacation. I would tape up the top so the loose powder wouldn't escape everywhere. Then I would bring extra tape for when that would stop sticking. Still, I'm impressed with the progress I'm making. This does make me look very powdery. It's a great setting powder, despite the old lady scent, but I absolutely have to brush at my face with a giant powder brush then spray a setting powder.
Five Mascaras
I just realized my Marc Jacobs mascara has been open since November. Meaning, it's probably about time for it to go. I did toss the Tarte Lash Paint in my purse, and I'm in love with a Wander Beauty mascara that replaced it as my purse mascara. Quite frankly, with its length and lift, sometimes I go get it out of my purse rather than using the Marc Jacobs one. Perhaps it's time to bid adieu to that one completely.
1/5 down…
Body Lotions
I finally finished one of those giant lotion bottles that I have had for too long and replaced it. I'm also nearly done with a Jergens gradual tan lotion and a coconut lime Tree Hut shea butter that I really enjoy. Still, I'm not doing great at this, and my elbows in particular wish I was a little more diligent with my lotion usage.
NCLA Nail Cuticle Oil
Cuticle oil is still a product I just can't figure out. This may be one of those things that ends up sticking around in my collection because I feel like I should have it.
The Brow Gal Brow Trio
I'm kind of shocked that I haven't yet hit pan on the dark color. I usually go through with the light color to fill in the overall shape of my brows. Then I use the dark shade anywhere that looks a little sparse. Then I comb everything out so hopefully it looks more natural. I wouldn't even know where to start when it comes to "carved" brows. So I'm not going to try. Plus, I think more natural looks are coming back.
Tarte Pout Prep Lip Exfoliant
I moved this into the shower to remind myself to use it more. But I think with the humidity of the shower, the exfoliating aspect (sugar?) dissolves too quickly to be effective. Still, I made a little progress on this one.
So far, I'm pleased with the progress on my project pan, especially in conjunction with the progress I made on my 19 for 2019 goals of using all my eyeshadows and all my lipsticks. I also canceled my Boxycharm finally, which will limit the amount of junk coming into my collection that I feel obligated to use.
Are you Project Panning this year? How's your progress coming along?

Shade 6 (a more metallic than sparkly antique gold)
This is gorgeous antique gold and copper with another kind of silvery gold too. All these shades mixed beautifully and can be used just on its own. I believe this one is one of the most popular ones and I can see why! You can use it all over the lid, as a tear duct highlight or as part of a goldy smoky look. However you want to use it will look just fabulous!
Shade 4 (a cool metallic and sparkly grey)
This one is an interesting one. It's cool grey with shots of red that gives it an interesting sparkly finish.
I have to be honest and I was easily led to get this one by the sales assistant. It wasn't on my list but she told me how this one is a no fuss smoky type shade that can be blended if you go for a soft look. I was sold. I'm ashamed but you know that happens. It's ok. I don't have anything like this one in my collection so I don't regret it that much.
Shade 3 (a metallic blue purple with some gold sparkles)

The Olympic men's hockey tournament kicks off today. Many of us are wondering if team USA can take home the gold this year. In the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics I thought that they would win it all. Sadly I was wrong. Canadian captain Sidney Crosby sniped a snap shot five hole in overtime to beat team USA in the gold medal game. This was a surprise to a lot of people because team USA had beaten Canada earlier in the tournament and they had played very well throughout the whole tournament. This year I think that team USA will win the gold this year. They are coming into this Olympics determined to win what they didn't win last Olympiad. The gold medal. Last time they wanted it. This time they need it.

You may want to explain what a "snap shot five hole" is before you use it. Cool recap.
2/13/2014 04:56:21 am
Ok, a snap shot is like a mixture between a slap shot and a wrist shot. Five hole is the space between the goalies legs.

Another gorgeous day. Even though I'm being shafted by the exchange rate, I'm getting my money's worth from the weather – 86 today.
I still can't believe I will be leaving all this in less than three weeks. Where has the time gone?
On the other hand, I was reading online that an Australian girl was retained for three weeks because she overstayed her visa by 11 hrs. It was a Canadian border agent who caused it all as well. What a bunch of bureaucratic pricks they are.
I really will be sorry to leave. Travelling is always a hassle – for me, anyhow. If it can go wrong it will. I always manage with the help of my Kina-jek (guardian angel), however, so all's well that ends well.
The upside is, that a number of going-away parties are being given on my behalf. Mind you, I don't know whether they are sorry to see me go, or happy.

Especially suited for ultra flat televisions, allows optimum positioning of the flat screen in every room
Supports all VESA standards up to 800 x 500
Hama FIX TV Brackets – Ultra-slim Wall Mounting
Designed for televisions that require a fixed position on the wall with a set angle, Hama FIX TV brackets have the advantage of an ultra-flat profile, meaning that your television appears to hang on the wall almost like a piece of artwork. Sit back and admire it!
Without the addition of bulky arms or tilts, Hama FIX TV brackets are highly discreet, remaining completely hidden behind the television after installation. Perfect for modern, minimalistic rooms and offices, Hama FIX brackets are based on the concept that the less that is on show, the better.
Maintain the Perfect Viewing Angle
Simple to install with the included mounting kit and easy to follow instructions, the durable steel mounting plate offers a secure and reliable hold on flat screens from 94 - 229cm (37" to 90"), VESA standards up to 800 x 500. The viewing angle cannot be adjusted after installation, thus guaranteeing the ideal pre-set viewing position that cannot be tampered with or accidentally knocked out of place. Ideal for a room where the seating area is fixed such as a reception area or living room.
Consumer note: Due to space saving nature of the bracket design, it may be worth considering any cable connections before installation as, due to limited space behind the television, these may need to be integrated into the angle adapter.

It's time for another client spotlight! Miss Victoria is a perfect example of someone that others might look at as a bikini competitor who must just be "naturally small" (she is 4'11") or have it easier than they do. What they may not know is that her she has totally transformed her lifestyle and lost 70lbs in the process! She competed at the Dallas Europa Games in Bikini category in 2015 and again in 2016, improving the package she brought to the stage as well as the placement was awarded! She doesn't just compete, though. She continually inspires those around her with her commitment to living a happy and healthy life and I am so proud to have her as a part of the Feisty Fox Fitness team. See more from this pint-sized rockstar below!
Q&A with Victoria
Profession: Deputy Clerk
How long have you been training with Feisty Fox Fitness? 7 months (Kelley's note: not all of her weight loss was during this time, she has had a patient journey of hard work!)
How did you first get interested in fitness? Walking around in a world filled with more overweight people than people who are fit, I didn't want to be average anymore… I wanted to be above average…. I wanted to be fit and healthy.
How do you find the time (or what do you think is most important) to be consistent with your training and nutrition?
I had to decide where I wanted to be and determine what would work best with my busy schedule. For me, working out after my 8-5 job worked best. I am able to wake up in the morning and reflect on the joys that God has given me while eating a balanced hearty breakfast to provide me energy to conquer the day.
What is your favorite thing about being a part of the Feisty Fox Fitness family?
Being a part of the Feisty Fox Fitness family has allowed me to surround myself with a group of beautiful women who are so encouraging and love to share the passion of health and fitness. I have never met a group of women who are so supportive and so beautiful inside and out.
What are your most and least favorite exercises so far?
My most favorite exercises are box jump burpees and anything to do with biceps. I don't really have a least favorite workout, but if I had to choose one that just doesn't get me excited … it's CARDIO.
What is your best piece of health or fitness advice?
Do not rush the process and for heaven's sake, do not be dependent on the number on the scale! You didn't gain weight overnight, so it isn't going to go away overnight. Unfortunately it is a lot more difficult to lose the body fat, but the journey along the way is so rewarding! You become stronger mentally, emotionally, and physically.

I am starving to death by not preaching. I search the garbage bins and pick out of dumpsters, ever eying with hungry eyes trash thrown by the wayside.
I am so wonderfully fed by Christ!
Yet I thirst a thirst of love. I long for more painful encounters that heal me so. I am a lover of the beach who roams the Sahara. Below the height of the mounting sun, among the singing dunes, I bellow with them the universal hum.
The sand is all about me. An oasis resides within my heart. I am surrounded by mirages of men whom long ago have forgotten to start.
I starve to preach. To sing of our Lord. I starve to fly high with no might of my own. Tapping toes and rocking forth, slightly bending knees, ready to spring forth from well to well.
I love our God. I love Him so. I love Him and Him alone. He tells me to love others as myself. I love Him despite myself. I love Him in others, and others because of Him. I love for I have been brought low. I love for I have learned to soar high. He is my all. My everything. Of Him, and Him alone, do I sing.
I sing of socks, and of sneakers, of old clothes and new sandals, and of wedding rings. I sing of mice, and of men, I sing of the difference that resides only in the length of whiskers. I sing of dogs and of cats, and o yes, of rats—o those ugly creatures that challenge me so.
I ask myself, are they not created by God as well?
Isn't that dirty filthy stinkin' rat also beautiful and also real?
Does not God shine the sun and shower the rain on disturbing rats as well?
O, if I could only love rates, then I would truly sing! Mend this heart, this rock of mine, hardened by selfish sight and by wanting what isn't mine. Yes, boil me down, so I may drown in what the residue of life leaves to those who truly suffer.
I sing to you, O Glorious Rat. Creature of God!
I sing to you that you too shall sing with me. I see that I no longer need to sing alone. Come, accept my embrace. I forgive you. Now perhaps I too may be forgiven.
I see and smell and hear the truth. You the rat, object of everyone's scorn. You too were once so young, before you crawled into the bin, before you journeyed down the darkened tunnel—you too—little infant rat—were brought forth from the mother's womb.
Come young, come old! Come from your abandoned buildings, and vacant storage yards, from old ball fields well over grown. Come one, come all!
The pious pied piper now plays a gospel tune. The garbage begins to gather, the desolation takes on an evening glow. The sand all about me recedes from the stormy cloud. It slowly begins to lay low.
The desert creeps up upon a vast body of water.
I pass between walls of a held back sea, my feet tread cross a red clay bottom.
You too, brother rat, are a gift from our mighty God above. You too were loved into existence by the Lord of all.
God of all who share residence upon the earth.
God of all who sigh and sing.
God of all who snort and smile.
God of all who bellow and breathe, both fresh and soiled city air alike.
Come, then, last call, leave your dens, leave your hobbies, leave you daily work behind. Leave you rats, friends of mine, leave the muck and sewers of this world, climb the hills, and charge the mountain, dip yourselves in Carmel air, for even you reflect the glory of Zion from a peak so high.
Come and join the birds who listened so intently, who still this day patiently hear lonely troubadours sing. Yes, join us, for there is always plenty of room, room for even you, object of everyone's scorn.
Enough for even you, you dirty rat.
A sight for sore eyes to this poor lonely thirsty preacher.
For through you I give our magnificent God mighty humble joy-felt praise.
—Howard Hain

Korean BBQ Beef Jerky
Mouth says...
Like a true gentleman, this Korean BBQ-inspired beef jerky has the perfect balance of all the best qualities. It sweet talks with its brown sugar undertones, turns up the flavor with sesame and ginger and gets us all fired up with chiles. Rugged, "french-fry cut" shards make for easier snacking. And did we mention it's made with organic beef and spices?
The gentlemen jerky makers are so confident in the authentic Korean BBQ flavor of this jerky, they named it Sinsa, after a neighborhood in Seoul packed with great barbecue spots.
You'll want to eat the whole bag. After all, a gentleman needs fuel just like any other, and this is a lean protein jackpot – so spare your modesty.
Tip of the Tongue
Get creative in the kitchen: Dice it up and sprinkle some on kimchi fried rice!
Beef, gluten free soy sauce (water, salt, defatted soybeans, sugar, citric acid, modified corn starch, disodium inosinate and disodium guanylate, potassium sorbate [preservative]), brown sugar, sesame seeds, red pepper, chili pepper, natural smoke flavor, onion, garlic, sesame oil, ginger. Comes in a 2 oz bag.
- Contains soy.

Stranger Here Below is showing up in bookstores--very exciting.
And yesterday I got to talk about the book in a room full of independent booksellers, at the New Atlantic Independent Booksellers Association meeting in Atlantic City, NJ, which was a blast. The meeting was in the Trump Marina, and I stayed there Monday night; may I just say that I find casinos SO WEIRD. The one place in the U.S. that still leaves your clothes reeking of cigarette smoke when you leave.
I love talking with independent booksellers, who always have interesting stories about books and writers, and usually about their own lives. I had a brief conversation with someone I found really inspiring--Jonah Zimiles, the father of an autistic son who owns Words in Maplewood, NJ, a bookstore that employs and reaches out to people with autism: http://www.wordsmaplewood.com/.
Even in a bad economy and in the midst of dire predictions about the future of the book, these people find a way to keep on doing what they love: selling books. Even though Adam Gopnik accused all of us writers in the room (himself included) of pandering to the crowd in our effusive praise of the independents at yesterday's lunch, I think every writer was sincere in his or her praise. Without these people, we'd never reach the readers we depend on to read, and talk about, our work.
And a note to any of you booksellers at yesterday's lunch: Sorry about the mix-up with copies of Stranger Here Below, which somehow never made it to the meeting, and so did not end up in your big bag of new books. But good news: thanks to Eileen Dengler and the wonderful people at Unbridled Books, copies will be mailed to all the booksellers who were at the Movable Feast. So a copy should land on your doorstep soon. Hope you like it! And good luck with that two-minute pitch; when you come up with a good one, please share it with me!

Midwest & East @ Le Circuit Mont-TremblantAug 05, 2008
Tuesday, August 05, 2008 Mt. Tremblant is one of the favorite stops on the Skip Barber Race Series summer tour. Great food and hotels, ligament-eating and road-rash-making concrete luge runs, and of course a superlative racing facility…
Photos from the weekend are here
Results, time sheets and qualifying are here. [Click the line that reads, "Eastern/Midwestern Regional Race Weekend 01-08-2008"]
Here's the link to the Midwest points standings
Here's the link to the East points standings
You can find the Race Series schedules here,
and clicking here takes you to the MAZDASPEED Challenge schedule
G1R1 (East)
Corey Lewis and Sage Karem were the class of the field in this race; even with a bit of "rain in Namerow," they were the only two to get into the 1:51s consistently (in fact, Karem's last two laps were in the high 1:50s). Lewis stole the lead from poleman Karem at the start and clicked off three laps that put him 2 seconds up on Karem. But then came four successive laps from Karem that were quicker than Lewis's, including lap six when Karem went around him. At the checker Karem was ahead by a hair more than 2 seconds. Jim Craige was gridded fifth but leapt to third on lap one and held off a determined Thiago Calvet the entire race. Anthony Furfari, Mikhail Goikhberg (from 10th) and Julien Gerbi put on an entertaining tussle for fifth through seventh, with Felix Serralles, Scott Panzer and Lucas Barnett rounding out the top 10.
G1R2 (East)
Karem led the first five laps, with Lewis filling his mirrors. Then Lewis made the pass to lead laps six and seven but trouble was ahead for Karem. On lap nine he snatched the lead back but then Karem lost fifth gear and decided to park it, after being black-flagged for a four-off. Lewis went on to a 10-second MoV over Michael Furfari, who had diced and sliced his way to P3 (from 12th) just prior to Karem's retirement. Gerbi, Panzer and Barnett fought each other as they made their way from mid-pack, while Goikhberg, Calvet and Jim Norman came home sixth, seventh and eighth, respectively. Chris Brassard and Craige rounded out the top 10.
G2R1 (East)
Grand-Am Koni Challenge driver Peter Ludwig had all that he could handle from Quentin Wahl and Chris Willcox even as he led flag to flag. Anthony Furfari's crash in Turn 11 caused a two-lap FCY mid-race and on the re-start, Wahl got around Willcox for P2. Last lap, something happens that sees Wahl fall to fifth, Willcox take over second, M. Furfari go from fifth to third (from row seven on the grid), and Al Carter stay in fourth. Jim Craige was doubling and crossed the line sixth, with Dick Lippert, out of these cars for a while, coming home seventh. Young Kevin Tittle was eighth, with another "long time no see" driver, Dr. Mike Edwards (John's Dad), ninth. Rounding out the top 10 was Paul Subject.
G2R2 (East)
People were flying off the road in this wet deusy of a race. Early on Ludwig, Wahl, M. Furfari and Willcox diced up front. By the time we went to a two-lap FCY on lap six for a Darrick Antell/Harry Schessel incident, Wahl was leading, Willcox was second and Ludwig third. On the re-start Wahl kept the lead for two laps but on lap 10 Ludwig and Furfari went by. Starting the last lap it was still Ludwig, Furfari, Wahl, Willcox and Carter, but in the craziness of that last 2.65 miles, Willcox and Carter shot from fourth and fifth to first and second, respectively. Ludwig came into the pits for a second time for earlier contact/four-off incidents and officially crossed the line third, but was given a 10-second penalty because he didn't come to a stop. Furfari and Ari Gatoff also got penalties for failures to pit, so when everything shook out, it was a Willcox win, Carter second – just a 10th of a second behind him – and Dr. Mike third, then Wahl, Ludwig and Craige the next three. Seventh was Tittle, and Subject, Lippert and M. Furfari were your top-10 round-outs.
G3R1 (East)
The race-pace for both Corey Lewis and Court Vernon was about 1.5 seconds better than the rest of the field, but Lewis was around a half-second per lap quicker than Vernon and slowly drew away for his second win of the weekend. Alfredo Zebede and Felis Serralles were in the hunt for third and until contact between the two put paid to those hopes. Pat Daly and Doug Harrison both got past Zebede before Zebede pitted on the last lap, which gave fifth to Scott Panzer. Chris Brassard, Leon Blaiwiess, Scott James and Serralles finished off the top 10.
G3R2 (East)
Marc Charbonneau and Jim Hoddinott got together on lap one and so laps two and three were FCY to get Charbonneau's SBF2000 out of the T8 beach. Before that, Lewis, Vernon and an on-the-charge Zebede were one-two-three. After the green to start lap four, the top three held station for six laps, though Zebede soon lost track and ran a solo P3. Then Lewis felt fifth gear start to go away so he let Vernon by and then stayed in his draft. Smart. And it worked out. as Lewis got by Vernon on the last lap and kept him at bay out of Namerow and across the line. Lewis's third win in four starts was his. Behind P3 Zebede was Daly and Serralles, with Harrison sixth and Carter seventh. Blaiwiess, Brassard and Panzer completed the top 10.
G4R1 (Midwest)
This was a mess of a wet race, with a lap one four-car incident that caused a full-course, then on the re-start lap Kevin Tittle got it way wrong in Eight and ended up flipping Roberto Dalton, so it was FCY again. Meanwhile, Al Carter had taken the lead and after all the clean-ups and tow jobs, Carter ran the last three green laps in front of Mikhail Goikhberg and took a good win. Mathew Durward was third, ahead of a lonely Devin Mauk, followed by Jonathan Barcena and Quini Louwman in a close fight for fifth and sixth. Steven Craige, Brian Skinner and Paul Subject rounded out the runners.
G4R2 (Midwest/East)
Group 4's second race was a much better affair. Goikhberg led lap one, Carter stole it back on lap two, Goikhberg went agricultural on lap three (putting Dalton into second place and Mauk into third). Then Barcena went playing in the sand in Eight and got it stuck while Dalton came in to the pits to serve a contact penalty from lap three, so laps five and six were FCY. The re-start to begin lap seven had Carter P1, Brian Skinner second and Durward third, with Gatoff, Paul Subject and Goikhberg lurking. Carter and Skinner soon galloped off, Carter eventually winning by about a half-second, but third place was up for grabs. On the penultimate lap Gatoff took the position away from Durward, but it had come at the cost of contact. With stops and penalties and whatnot all figured out, third place went to Goikhberg, Dr. Mike got fourth (from 13th), Tittle fifth and Subject sixth, close behind. Gatoff, Dalton and Durward were classified next, with 10th.
Up Next…
… are rounds nine and 10 of the BFGoodrich/Skip Barber National Presented by Mazda, at fabulous Road America August 8-10. It's a big Mazda-fest, as the main show is ALMS prototypes (including 2005 SBN champion Gerardo Bonilla's LMP2 Lola B07/46-Mazda MZR-R) and the support shows include Playboy MX-5 Cup, Skip Barber National, Star Mazda and Mazda Atlantic.
Then there's the wild weekend at the all-new New Jersey Motorsports Park: Rounds 11 and 12 of the National, with the Grand-Am DP machines, on the Thunderbolt track, plus rounds 11 and 12 of the Midwest and East Series on the Lightning track. Right after that are rounds nine and 10 of the Skip Barber MX-5 Miata MAZDASPEED Challenge series, August 30-31 at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.

A cold feeling day, with this cold northeasterly breeze keeping the mercury down at 13C / 55F. And it really was the wind that made it feel very cold. Not a very welcoming climate for the cruise passengers on the cruiseliner Deutschland, which anchored off the Arnish Lighthouse this morning.
I have been amazed at the sudden interest in the UK in the Tour de France cycling race. It is a competitive race by professional cyclists, all over France. The reason is that the man in the yellow jersey (in first place) is a Brit. Well done to him. There is only a couple of days left of the race, which will terminate on the Champs Elysee in Paris on Sunday.
I am now approaching the one-third mark in my quest to find out, using my limited means, further information on the nearly 1300 men from the Isle of Lewis who lost their lives in the 1914-1919 war. The information is compiled into a website, supplementary to my main tribute site, Faces from the Lewis War Memorial. I am pleased to note that I occasionally find further information on some of the casualties. Tomorrow, I shall look into the men from the village of Aird Tong, numbering 15, who were lost. Aird Tong is a tiny hamlet on the outskirts of the slightly larger township of Tong, due north of Stornoway, on the far side of the Cockle Ebb, as shown below.

156 Entries for "below"
Underneath everything lied a broken hearted girl. She put on a smile to cover up the scars and blue blacks, just to survive another day. She once was a strong girl but she couldn't take it anymore. "I'm fine, don't worry" was her answer to all questions. Family problems and relationship problems; they crunched up into a big and heavy metal ball that constantly weighs her down. She was like the captain of her ship and used to control the steering well but now it's going below the surface, onto an icy deserted island. "Goodbye world," she smiled. All alone with blood on her left wrist, finally, and peacefully, the metal ball disappeared and then she rose with the angels.
There are Things below her bed. They've been accumulating there, for years and years and years, and she just never bothers to go underneath and discover them, afraid of what unpleasant memory from yonder ages she might unearth.
She does go below her bed eventually, traveling down, past the comforter, the sheets, the mattress, the bed frame, until she finds her collection of Things. She looks at them for a while, never touching. Simply gazing. And then she's angry, going through the Things one by one, each evoking something she never thought would ever hurt until now, post-Him, post-Family, and she sees these Things and she chucks them at the wall, imagining his soft face and betraying back as he walks out the door and leaves her behind. With each throw, she hears the door click shut. With every infuriated hurl, she feels her heart breaking a little bit more. Later, she will realize that this mass purging of the below heals as much as it hurts, and she will smile (wince?) as she drops her childhood into the garbage bin at the curb and watches the billowing truck take the tender reminders of her father far, far away.
what is this. Just typing away her, don't mind me. just typin. thats a lovely purple bar you have down there. stumbleupon sent me to this. i dont know what it is.
look out below. the waves are crashing hard against the platform we are standing on and i can't tell how much longer that will be able to stand. we should probably just run away now. grab my hand and follow me no matter where i go. i'll show you places you didn't even know exist if you only give me the chance.
I'm looking above and I'm looking below. Below the world that I think I live in. Towards more dangerous cliffs and wandering paths. I look down and I realize I am much higher up than I should be. As below awaits, I drift.
below the ground swells. i try to understand what sleeps there, but it is an immortal mystery.
I sat below the table, cowering like a small child. What else was I supposed to do? They were yelling and throwing both objects and punches. It was the only place I was safe. I covered my ears and screwed my eyes shut as tight as I could. It didn't help. I held my breath until my lungs burned and my chest felt like it was going to explode. Then it all went black.
Below the ice there lives a magical world, full of white little seahorses no larger than your thumb, and tiny fish that you can see straight through. Light blue starfish that glimmer and octopi smaller than the head of a pin that give off streams of sparkles when they feel threatened.
Below me is a bed, but farther down the basement, full of what I assume could be monsters, or storage, or possibly a cat. But bellow all of that could be anything, and old life, and old place, and old body, an old grave? It could be anything at all, who are we to decide what it is, and what it shall be.
There once was a man who lived below my stairs. He was a kind young gentleman with blue eyes and brown curly hair. Oh boy did he have the dimples to die for. I wished everyday he would come upstairs, just walk up 14 steps, and maybe just maybe come see me. So one day I dropped a letter off my stairs and hoped he would find it.
"Look out below!" and then Oprah dropped a watermelon. Why did she throw a fruit onto that poor hobo's head? Why did she find joy in that? Maybe it was due to a severe hatred of hobos. Or watermelons. Or both. Oh goodness this was random, sorry haha.
under the table is a bed of fire ants with a thousand of them in it. the ants can hurt you bad if you are not careful but if you take safety cautions then you will be fine. the ants are running around looking like and bunch of pine needles blowing in the wind. the ants are take little crumbs into there ant hill and giving them to there queen.
A world below. It was hard to imagine such a thing. It was as such by a girl named Isabelle.
Until one summer afternoon as she was cycling, a crack formed on the surface of the earth.
She fell though, down underneath the crust, and it closed back upon itself.
She had joined the others in the world below.
Down below the earth lies a dragon. everyone in all the lands is in fear of this dragon but only because they havnt met him. This dragon is the sweetest of all the dragons. It enjoys gardening and playing and art. Nobody understands this dragon because he is different from the other dragons. Unlike the mean tuff ones that only cause destruction he desires to be loved by all people and help clean up the destruction. One day the dragon went up to the surface and met a king. He said "dont be afraid i am a kind dragon". But before he could finish his sentence the king sent soldiers to kill the kind dragon. He flew away sad that he wasnt excepted. Eventually he wound up in a village where he went up to a farmer. "Hello, do you need any help" the man ran away yelling for help. The dragon went away walking through the forrest nearby sad and depressed that his dream of being loved by the people would not come true. As he walked he heard some laughter. He looked around for people but saw none. All of the sudden saw a little girl. "Hello" said the little girl."Hi" said the dragon depressingly. "Why are you way out here?" "Because im a lonely dragon. You are the first to not run away from me today" replied the dragon. "i dont see why one would run away you seem perfectly kind."
Nobody really knows what's down below. Some say it's a fiery pit of hot burning lava governed by a two horned creature that's uglier than your neighbor's squealing baby. Some say it's nothing but earth, worms, and worms eating dead bodies. I would probably never know what's down below until someone buries me alive and I (if fortunate enough) live to tell the tale.
He sat below me, on the floor of my bedroom. Staring at the wall with an intent anger. He wasn't talking to me, this was the silent treatment. It was childish and annoying, but this was his way of getting his point across. I wasn't sure how he thought this was effective, or if he knew it wasn't but decided to do it anyway. I had now at my book next to me after folding the corner of my page. "Talk to me," I begged. He shook his head. He was upset that I told him how upset his family made me. He was furious actually. Finally, he turned and his deep brown eyes glared at me. "Stop acting like this," I snapped back at him. Standing up he shook his head again. This man was blind to everything his family had done to him. He was blind to how much they truly used him. So here he was below me on the floor, but now I realized I was below his family.

Re: 'Redpassion is a disgrace
This crass quote shows that the Trust Establishment are getting worried because RP are asking difficult questions and pointing out that on occasions the trust have been getting it wrong. Perhaps Pete Jones should publically ackowledge the fund raising that RP do?. After all he supported The WFC Board after they kept him out of the loop in recent weeks.

Re: 'Redpassion is a disgrace
Just a question , but why does SH use twitter where he gets abuse apparently ( i don't look much myself ) quite willingly , where only a few words can be written , but a well read online free service called Red Passion exists whereby much more space is available to inform fans of ongoing situations , any abusive posts or posters can be removed if offensive . This abuse thing is used when suites it seems , but surely anyone would stop using Twitter if getting abuse but apparently not , why ? .

Re: 'Redpassion is a disgrace
The phrase, 'if you can't stand the heat..........' readily springs to mind!
Likewise, the club are also very happy to accept the RP money when it is offered and some of our contributors do outstanding work for the club as well as being in here.
In the past RP contributors have sponsored players, matches (with others) and even helped Geoff Scott out when there has been no match ball sponsor.
Now if you want to link those who spout rubbish with the people who support the club financially and post on here, that's your prerogative but biting one of the hands that feeds you never works.

Re: 'Redpassion is a disgrace
Andy is a long standing member of the London Reds I've known him for years and he has no personal connections to any of the board. He's also been posting on here for years.
In saying all this as another member of the London Reds I disagree with Andy and some of our other members (but not all as with the fanbase generally) quite a bit on this.
I'm quite a lot more sceptical about what has happened than many (but not all of our members) in recent weeks (and I do know some board members at least to an extent). I think we need a CEO and/or Director of Football to help the board out and that questions arise over the Barrow/Newell appointments.
But I do think he has a point that a lot of people will lay into the Trust establishment on here then go missing when they have an opportunity like last night to raise questions. Not sure RP is necessarily any more reflection of all the fanbase than the Trust establishment and supporters are.

Re: 'Redpassion is a disgrace
What a stupid statement. Red Passion has its low moments, just like every other football club supporter forum out there.
This forum has done lots for the club over the years through initiatives, sponsorship and just plain word of mouth.
Hell, it pretty much ensured there was a club to be moaning about!
You will get vitriol, you will get idiocy. Yet this is usually cancelled out and then more by open debate, sensible suggestions and outright comedy!
Saying the forum is a disgrace merely makes me wonder if the Board are fearful of the power such a forum can hold? After all, it has the ability to reach thousands of fans, local and worldwide. Does this 'power' threaten the set up they have at the moment?
I don't know.
But if Red Passion is a 'disgrace' I am happy to be disgraceful.
If I apparently share a brain with the rest of you, can I at least have it for a week on Tuesday as I may be in a pub quiz that night?

What was supposed to be a heartwarming family movie is turning into a horror show. And it doesn't sound like it's going to turn out well for anyone involved. Earlier today, TMZ shared a very disturbing video that shows a German Shepherd being forced against its will into rushing water on the set of A Dog's Purpose, where the canine actor almost drowns before being rescued by trainers. Now, PETA has gotten a look at the footage, and they are calling for a boycott of the movie, which is scheduled to hit theaters on January 27.
The footage in question was secretly captured in Winnipeg, Canada back in November 2015, during a second unit shoot. The video clearly shows a frightened dog being forced into rushing water by its trainer. The scene called for the canine to rescue a child from drowning, but it wasn't moving forward as planned. The dog actor is forced up against the edge of the pool by the flow of water as the trainer calls out. The dog then becomes submerged completely. There is panic, as trainers swim to the dog and save it from drowning, and you can hear, 'Cut it! Cut it!' being called out. Says TMZ about the footage.
"Sources connected to production tell us 8 outboard motors were used to churn the water and recreate a rushing river. The dog eventually got in the water, or was forced in, but was quickly submerged...We're told director Lasse Hallstrom was present the whole time, and at least one member of the crew was extremely disturbed by the dog's treatment during this scene."
Amblin Partners and Universal Pictures released this official statement.
"Fostering a safe environment and ensuring the ethical treatment of our animal actors was of the utmost importance to those involved in making this film and we will look into the circumstances surrounding this video."
Producer Gavin Polone, who is a known animal rights activist, was not on set the day this second unit footage was shot. And he claims to be horrified by the video. In asking audiences to boycott the movie, PETA is targeting Birds & Animals Unlimited, the animal supplier reportedly responsibly for handling the dog. Though, it is not yet clear if they are the actually animal handlers who were on set that day with the dog.
BAU reportedly told an undercover investigator for PETA that they were responsible for supplying all of the dogs for the movie even though IMDB lists two different animal handlers. Those named have not been confirmed to work for BAU. The company's website has been offline since the video leaked. And it's a company that PETA has been trying to expose for a long time.
A Dog's Purpose is coming from Amblin/Walden Media based on the bestselling novel of the same name by W. Bruce Cameron. The story follows the soulful and surprising journey of one devoted dog who finds the meaning of his own existence through the lives of the humans he teaches to laugh and love. Dennis Quaid, Peggy Lipton and Britt Robertson star in the movie with Josh Gad voicing the dog. Says Lisa Lange, PETA's SVP.
"This movie is directed towards those who love dogs and, clearly, this is not a dog's purpose."
Producer Gavin Polone had this to say about the video.
"I'm horrified by this. The first thing I asked was, 'Is the dog OK?' He's fine. But if I had seen that, I would have stopped it in a minute. People have to be held responsible for this. It was someone's job to watch out for this kind of thing. Why didn't they? This is something I've written about before, whether it be circus animals or animals on set. American Humane are supposed to be there supervising. That's their job that someone is paid a lot of money to do. Why wasn't this stopped? There needs to be a better system than this. That's what I've called for in the past. I agree with PETA that they not only need to make sure animals are treated properly on set, but they also need to find out where the animals are kept outside of the set. To make sure they are treated properly at all times."
American Humane issued the following statement.
"American Humane has reviewed the video and we are disturbed and concerned by the footage. When the dog showed signs of resistance to jumping in the water, the scene should have been stopped. We are placing the safety representative who was on the set on administrative leave immediately and are bringing in an independent third party to conduct an investigation into this matter."
Producer Gavin Polone went onto explain that the treatment of animals on this particular set was of great concern to him before filming even began. He was concerned about one scene involving a cat, and another involving a fire, but both scenes used CG, and were composite shots, which never put the animals in any kind of danger. Polone claims that he was on set 70% of the time, and never saw any of the animals in distress, or the trainers stressing out the animals unnecessarily. About the timing of the leak, which comes just a few weeks before the movie's release and could definitely hurt it at the box office, he says this.
"I hope that bringing this out leads to better treatment of animals. I know the studio is outraged and investigating this. And by the way, this happened in October of 2015 and not only did none of us hear of it, this should have been investigated immediately. Who waited a year and three months to call attention to this? That's wrong in itself."
A Dog's Purpose trailer is said to contain footage that was shot during this second unit shoot, which shows the German Shepard trying to swim through rushing water. You can see the embed of TMZ's footage here along with the trailer.

udaipur. A two-day National seminar was organized by the department of English, M.V.Shramjeevi College, Janardan Rai Nagar Rajasthan Vidyapeeth ( Deemed to be ) University, Udaipur on 22-23 Jan 2019 to commemorate the 150th birth anniversary year of Mahatma Gandhi. In this two day seminar forty five scholars presented their research papers from different parts of the country. The discussions led to the conclusion that both Karl Marx and Mahatma Gandhi had influenced twentieth century. Although western capitalist model today dominates the world but it has given rise to several challenges and problems in the world. The philosophies of Mahatma Gandhi and Karl Marx together can provide the means to address these problems.
The two -day National Seminar began with the inaugural session in which the Chief Guest Prof. Suman Bala , Professor of English retired from Delhi University made the inaugural address. In her speech she mentioned the influence of Mahatma Gandhi on Indian literature. She referred to the novels Untouchable by Dr. Mulk Raj Anand, Kanthapura by Raja Rao, Waiting for Mahatma by R.K.Narayan, the Gandhi Quarteret by Chaman Nahal, Mrityunjay by Shivaji Sawant and several other texts from Indian languages to trace the influence of Gandhi on Indian Literature. Prof. Rajul Bhargava, key speaker of the seminar spoke about the place of Kasturba in the life of Gandhi and her depiction by authors on Gandhi. She said that Gandhiji practiced all his novel ideas and principles on Kasturba who accepted his command and followed them all in letter and spirit. But she did not get the desired attention by the biographers of Gandhi. She said that Gandhiji's experiments with truth would have not become a reality had Kasturba not stood by him throughout her life. Special guest Mr. Kishore Saint , noted Gandhian scholar and activist said that Gandhi and Marx can converge at the issues of ecological balance, curbing consumerism and containing violence in the world. He said individually one cannot meet the challenges of our times but if a fine combination of the two philosophies can be struck it may help mankind. He said that consumerism has already damaged the world too much. Opposed to that, Gandhian philosophy advocates limiting one's needs and Marxist philosophy advocates equitable distribution of resources and opportunity among all. This can only sustain the world. Guest of Honour Prof. Sudha Chaudhary, Professor and Head of the Department of Philosophy, M.L.Sukhadia University said that no philosophy can be complete in itself. One needs to examine each philosophy in the context of time and then see if that suits the occasion. Presiding over the inaugural session Prof. Suman Pamecha , Principal, M.V.Shramjeevi College stated that the literature related to Mahatma Gandhi is highly motivational and can inspire people to lead a virtuous life. In the beginning of the session Prof. Mukta Sharma, Head Department of English welcomed the guests. Prof. H.S.Chandalia, convener of the seminar gave the concept note and stated that Indian English Literature was immensely influenced by the life and thoughts of Mahatma Gandhi. He also mentioned several English and Hindi authors who had depicted Gandhi and his ideology in their writings. Talking about the reason of organizing the seminar he said that in the present times the parties in power are demeaning Gandhi and elevating Sardar Patel. They are demonizing Nehru and celebrating Godse. In such a situation it is necessary to revisit Gandhiji and his ideology. The session was conducted by Dr. Mehzbeen Sadriwala and Dr. Preeti Rajput proposed a vote of thanks. The special feature of the inaugural session was the felicitation of Prof, Mukta Sharma for her life time achievements and contribution to the world of academics. Prof. Suman Bala and other guests felicitated her with a citation, shawl and coconut, the sacred fruit.
The inaugural function was followed by a plenary session in which Dr. Rajshri Ranawat , Associate Professor, Jai Narayan Vyas University, Jodhpur delivered a lecture. This session was chaired by Prof. Sunil Bhargava, retired Principal, Govt. PG College, Jhalawar. On the second day of the conference Dr. Jaishree Singh , B.N. University and Dr.Kshamta Chaudhary, VMOU, Kota delivered plenary lectures. In technical sessions which were chaired by Dr. Sumer Singh, Principal, Govt. Girls College, Ratangarh, Dr. K.S.Kang, Maharana Pratap Government PG College, Chittorgarh and Dr. Rekha Tiwari, Guru Nanak Girls College, Udaipur.
The valedictory session was chaired by Prof. Suman Pamecha, Principal , M.V.Shramjeevi College. Prof. Pradeep Trikha, Professor and Head, Department of English, M.L.Sukhadia University was the chief guest while Dr. Minakshi Jain, Associate Professor, M.L.Sukhadia University was the guest of honour. Prof. The guests gave away the certificates to the delegates. , H.S.Chandalia proposed the vote of thanks and announced that selected papers of the seminar will be published in a book form.

Memorial of Saint Justin, martyr
(Acts 17:15.22-18:1; John 16:12-15)
Although there were exceptions, Christianity at first attracted mostly slaves and women – people from the lower echelons of society. These women and men were hardly unintelligent; indeed, they were sharp enough to recognize their innate inability to overcome base desires and demonic powers. Of the exceptions Justin was among the most notable. He had studied all the philosophies known in the Mediterranean region during the second century. Then one day on a seashore he met an old Christian who told him how Jesus had fulfilled the words of the prophets. His search for truth was satisfied. There was more truth to be uncovered, but Justin now knew where to dig.
St. Paul uses a different tack in addressing the Athenians in the first reading. Rather than proceed from the Scriptures, he gives them a lesson in natural religion. He first speaks of creation, then the Creator, and finally alludes to Jesus. The strategy falls on its face. The crowd in the Areopagus is not prepared to digest the idea that someone could be raised from the dead. Paul learns that all the reasoning in the world cannot move the masses to accept Christ. Rather the Christian has to proclaim with deeds of charity as much as words of wisdom that Jesus Christ provides the bread for a more abundant life.
We do well to follow both Justin and Paul. There is value in explaining how faith in Christ does not contradict reason but rather confirms most all of its conclusions. Yet we should realize that our logic will crumble if the goodness of our lives does not testify to Jesus' resurrection from the dead.

Thick cloud cover over much of the Lower 48 will start to break up over Oklahoma and Arkansas by Sunday morning. Not every cloud will be gone, but some blue sky should be visible for the start of Mother's Day.
Mother's Day Forecast: Mix of sun and clouds, 10% of a shower, highs near 70.
Some of this clearing is due to a cold front slowly moving south across the Plains. The weak front will swing through western Arkansas by Sunday afternoon. Winds will increase out of the northwest to around 10 MPH.
Saturday Night: NORTHWEST ARKANSAS
Saturday Night: RIVER VALLEY

Sometimes growth and progress feel a bit like a fancy pattern of dominoes lined up carefully in a row, standing, waiting…for one small push, and having received it, they topple one into the next, as necessary as breathing, to a conclusion that sometimes both surprises, and also seems rather obvious.
Yesterday was a good day. It was not without emotion, but emotions were not overwhelming or disabling me. Work was work. Home was home. I was feeling a tad on the practical and 'no nonsense' side by the time I got home. Still, it was a pleasant evening of hanging out. Uneventful. Calm.
I felt inspired off and on, and excited to explore new thinking on old pain…and took notes all day. Looking those notes over this morning, there is an evident thread of hurt and frustration woven through the narrative of the day that only shows up in the brief, sometimes terse, observations that although significant seeming, were a distraction from the workload facing me. I look back on them and wonder how much of it is truly relevant; damn little of it is at all inspiring now. I am at a place in life where it would certainly be a goodness to give up day-to-day employment to focus on my own needs and agenda…but our society isn't really set up that way, and the financial obligations of adulthood find me continuing to maintain employment.
I'm committed to slowing things down a bit, and taking care of me. The timing is right for planning the upcoming hiking/camping for the year, and I enjoy the planning and anticipation, itself. I'm eager to be out among the trees, in the stillness, just being. Quiet and content, and able to hear my own thoughts for more than 5 minutes at a time…trees rustling in breezes…small creatures approaching with cautious curiosity…home. This week I think I made a small breakthrough with regard to emotional self-sufficiency, love, lust, and sexual needs. Explaining it well would require words I have not yet mastered, but I feel more connected within myself, which has apparently been holding me back of late. There's some other stuff, important on the inside… perspective… identity… self… other… (and much, much more!)
I didn't sleep well last night. Meditation sort of… consumed a bunch of time unexpectedly. Then there were some lovely minutes of cuddling. Then… I was awake. Awhile. A long while. No fussing or anxiety to it, I just wasn't sleeping. I went back to meditating at a number of points, which I have been finding definitely keeps the anxiety at bay. I feel okay this morning. I know I'll be tired tonight. Managing good self-care throughout the day will be critical, and I make a point of taking note of that need for attentive self-care, and set a small number of extra reminders for today; later on I may not be my sharpest.
Here it is another day. Will I learn something new? Will I make good choices and treat others well? Will love find me in some unexpected moment? Will sorrow? I hear the espresso machine in the background and I think of love… and coffee. Today is a good day to make good choices. Today is a good day to take the time to take care of me. Today is a good day to slow down for a moment, and really just savor it. Today is a good day to change my experience.

Phenothrin, also called sumithrin and d-phenothrin,[1] is a synthetic pyrethroid that kills adult fleas and ticks. It has also been used to kill head lice in humans. d-Phenothrin is used as a component of aerosol insecticides for domestic use. It is often used with methoprene, an insect growth regulator that interrupts the insect's biological lifecycle by killing the eggs. Phenothrin is the active agent in the branded product Raid Fly and Wasp Killer.
Phenothrin is primarily used to kill fleas and ticks.[2] It is also used to kill head lice in humans, but studies conducted in Paris and the United Kingdom have shown widespread resistance to phenothrin.[2]
It is extremely toxic to bees. A U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) study found that 0.07 micrograms were enough to kill honey bees.[2] It is also extremely toxic to aquatic life with a study showing concentrations of 0.03 ppb killing mysid shrimp.[2] It has increased risk of liver cancer in rats and mice in long-term exposure.[2] It is capable of killing mosquitoes,[3] although remains poisonous to cats and dogs, with seizures and deaths being reported due to poisoning.[2] Specific data on concentrations or exposure are lacking.
Phenothrin has been found to possess antiandrogen properties, and was responsible for a small epidemic of gynecomastia via isolated environmental exposure.[4][5]
The EPA has not assessed its effect on cancer in humans. However, one study performed by the Mount Sinai School of Medicine linked sumithrin with breast cancer; the link made by its effect on increasing the expression of a gene responsible for mammary tissue proliferation.[2]
EPA action[edit]
In 2005, the U.S. EPA cancelled permission to use phenothrin in several flea and tick products, at the request of the manufacturer, Hartz Mountain Industries.[6][7] The products were linked to a range of adverse reactions, including hair loss, salivation, tremors, and numerous deaths in cats and kittens. In the short term, the agreement called for new warning labels on the products.
As of March 31, 2006, the sale and distribution of Hartz's phenothrin-containing flea and tick products for cats has been terminated. However, EPA's product cancellation order did not apply to Hartz flea and tick products for dogs, and Hartz continues to produce many of its flea and tick products for dogs.[8]

Reinforcing the evidence suggesting that there is a relationship between chemicals and GM, it is worthwhile mentioning the epidemic onset observed among Haitian refugees in 1981 about four months after arrival in United States detention centers.22 After analyzing all identifiable environmental exposures, it was then found that phenothrin, a multi-insecticide contained in sprays that they had used was the causative agent.23 It is now widely known that phenothrin has antiandrogenic activity.
