What follows is an interview between Alternative Right coeditor Andy Nowicki and author Ryan Andrews, who has published a novel with VDare.com' entitled The Birth of Prudence. Andy and Ryan discuss Ryan's novel as an example of "Identitarian fiction," tying in with Andy's previous essay "Alt Right Art" concerning the necessity of art to buttress the claims and overall cause of the "movement" in general.
AN: Ryan Andrews, you have called THE BIRTH OF PRUDENCE an example of "Identitarian fiction." Could you elaborate on what you mean by this?
Ryan Andrews: As everyone who has seen The Amazing Spider-Man knows, there is only one plot in all of literature: Who am I? The Identitarian also asks; who are we? The Birth of Prudence also asks this question, and above all, is an attempt to answer it.
Ryan Andrews: In basic outline, the story is a tragic romance made possible by the larger tragedy of the West. Mark and Prudence, the couple, each seem to have the nature that is the perfect complement to the other. I give a concise formulation of their story in my original query, so I quote from it here:
[The Birth of Prudence tells the story of] 21 year-old, white, working-class Mark Thompson and Prudence Suh, a 21 year-old, Eurocentric, Korean-American, University of Chicago student. Mark, an introvert with a great soul but an average mind, was without an "identity," perceiving nothing "to fight for," too restless for action or understanding until being inspired by beautiful Prudence. Prudence, a deeply sincere humanist, decides that Mark is a passionate lover, and thus deserves to be loved passionately.I mention above that this immediate tragedy is made possible by the larger tragedy of the West, and that being so, I decided it was necessary to assign some "non-story" portion to an analysis of the tragedy of the current depleted, degenerate state of the West, in a section called Universalism vs Nationalism. Here, two of Prudence's fellow students, an egalitarian Universalist and an Ethnonationalist who are roommates, argue deep into the night. (For a more complete explanation of the Universalism vs Nationalism section, see this article I wrote for Vdare a few weeks ago.)
And so they quickly fall in love, each the great hope of the other. Under her love and guidance, Mark learns about, and comes to admire, classical music and the ancient Greeks, further increasing their love of each other, until the same studies awaken in the boyfriend's heart a feeling which can only be called white pride.
AN: The book features an interracial relationship between a brilliant and adorable Asian woman and a young white man who is becoming a white nationalist, ironically under the tutelage of his nonwhite girlfriend who loves Western culture. What drew you to this subject matter?
Ryan Andrews: It has the power to convey my idea: The contemporary tragedy of the West is that the West, in attempting to make its civilization universal, risks destroying itself altogether. And as I believe that the idea of tragedy is one Western thought's greatest achievements, this would be all-too fitting an end.
So I wanted to write the tragedy that could define this tragedy. I wanted to tell a story that not only was set within this historic moment in the West's great, unfolding tragedy, but that was a result of it. I wanted a plot that would symbolize it, but that at the same time, would not be at all dependent on symbolism for it's meaning. And so I wove together the threads, using the most apposite material I could find, until the whole of it was woven as tightly as possible.

And so I wove together the threads, using the most apposite material I could find, until the whole of it was woven as tightly as possible.
The most superficial reader will understand that the plot depends on Prudence being nonwhite, that it serves as more than a symbolic device. And he will probably have at least a sense that, even beyond her conscious first-order preferences, she is something very-near the ideal imagined by Western Universalists. I hope the reader will also appreciate how vital this is to the mechanics of the plot.
AN: In the end, the main character has to make a choice between true love and his newfound ideals. Does he make the correct choice, in your view?
Ryan Andrews: Yes. To the extent that he even made a choice at all, I think he made the right one.
AN: Why is it important for "Alt-rightists" to cultivate the production of quality fiction, as well as other forms of art?
Ryan Andrews: To win the argument. I, of course, believe that we ought to make an explicit argument for our moral values—of which, the forms you mention above are quite capable, but I also think we need an implicit argument. The art and literature produced by a culture, in large part, is that culture, and we ought to be trying to create a beautiful culture. We do this for its own sake, for identity, but we also do this to win the argument. This is not just done to convince those who are not now with us, but also so that those already with us will understand why, and that this helping our compatriots toward the ideas and vision that will make them that much more able to contribute to winning the argument.

You may not know Chris Poole by name (yet), but if you're a cat lover you know one of his latest videos, "A Cat's Guide to Loving a Human" (If you haven't seen it it's a must-see and you can watch it below). Now while you may think he's single after watching the video, Chris does have a wife who loves Cole and Marmalade, his kitties, just as much as he does. So you go girl for bagging a cat-loving man. And Chris REALLY loves cats, you'll see what I mean as you read on! Enjoy!
My life revolves around cats of the small and large variety! I've worked at a sanctuary called Big Cat Rescue in Tampa Florida for the past 6 years. I was an intern there and they offered me the videographer job in May of 2008. We're the world's largest accredited sanctuary dedicated to exotic cats (we're home to over 100 lions, tigers, leopards and more!), we've rescued them from fur farms, circuses, roadside zoos and many are former "pets" that have been abandoned or abused.
I've always had domestic cats at home in England. My mum's cat was named Sarah and she was a very tolerant black cat. I'm sure I must have annoyed the heck out of her as a little kid, but we always curled up on the couch with each other too. It's probably why I love black cats so much!
Fast forward 20+ years when a friend of my wife and mine found a tiny black kitten – now called Cole – at a busy Florida intersection in the evening all by himself and texted us a picture. We knew we had to bring him into our lives!
He was covered in fleas and anemic, so we had to bathe him and get him checked-out at the vet. He was only around 5-6 weeks old so he had to be bottle-fed and taught how to go to the bathroom and all that fun stuff! It was great to see him grow-up and because we raised him from such a young age he bonded with us so very closely and loves to snuggle with us!
"Tiny Kitten – BIG Meow!" Click here if you can't see the video below of baby Cole below.
Then, when I learned black cats are least likely to be adopted and most likely to be euthanized in animal shelters, I decided to use my video skills to do some good for domestic cats as I do for the big cats at the sanctuary. That's when I started my "Cole The Black Cat" YouTube channel and began making videos including ones that promote spay, neuter and adoption.
Marmalade, our ginger kitty, was rescued from a friend of a friend. They didn't want Marmalade and I feared he'd end up in a shelter or living outside and adding to the feral cat problem. We'd also been thinking about adopting another cat for months, and when she sent us a pic of him we decided it was fate and we had to adopt him!
Introducing Cole and Marmalade was surprisingly easy! After around 5 days of separation we introduced them and it was evident from the get go that they were very similar and we got very lucky because it went so smoothly. Cole is the world's sweetest black cat (probably) and he was a purrfect gentleman with little Marm. They were both pouncing on each other and even though Marmalade was a third of Cole's size he was launching his own "attacks" too! 🙂 You can see the video here:
"When Cole Met Marmalade…" Click here if you cannot see the video below.
Yep, Cole is definitely the snuggler! He will lay on my chest and knead and then flop over exposing his belly and sleep for hours on his back, very trusting! His favorite "toy" as got to be hair scrunchies, we have a couple dozen scattered around our floors at al times and he will chase after them all day if he could 🙂
Marmalade doesn't really snuggle, he will flop on the couch a few feet away from you and make you move to pet him or sleep on your feet, but not a snuggler unfortunately. He loves to jump up on the kitchen counters though and no matter what we try he's still up there so we've kinda gave up!
Plus he loves hanging out in the bathroom with you and chasing laser pointers and light reflections like most cats, he also sleeps in some really weird places, like purses, our recycling tote, sinks and wardrobe nooks (I guess most cats do this too?).
My favorite thing about cats has to be their personalities. I can never understand why some people love dogs and dislike cats?! Cats are so unique and have just as much character. I love spending my time playing with Cole and Marmalade and thinking of new ways to entertain them – and myself!
My friends of course are all crazy cat people too, so they understand my crazy cat ways and my wife loves Cole and Marmalade just as much as I do!
Chris has so many cute photos I had to throw in a few extra for good measure. You can see them all on Cole and Marmalade's Facebook page so be sure to check it out!
And reminder that today (4/7/14), is the last day to qualify to win a trip to NYC for Grumpy Cat's 2nd Birthday so don't miss out on the opportunity!

Nike's newest ad 'Come out of Nowhere' with LeBron James celebrates and encourages all the underdogs to believe in themselves.
LeBron repeatedly says "you're not supposed to..." but that doesn't stop any of the athletes featured in the ad from playing the game. All of them are athletes who weren't "supposed" to escape their neighborhoods or even go pro, and all of them are wearing LeBron's number 23. The ad finishes with a cameo by James as he walks out onto the basketball court.
While the ad encourages all NBA hopefuls to keep pursuing their dreams, it also speaks to the Cavaliers being the underdogs in last year's NBA season and winning anyway. The ad debuted the same night as the Cavaliers season opener against the Knicks.

There has never been a more important person who walked the earth than Jesus. He has changed the world in more ways than any man has ever done. He left a legacy and a way of believing that none can compare to.
Because of this, He has garnered billions of followers over the last 2000 years who have chosen to be disciples of His teachings. He has given hope to the lost and given purpose to untold hundreds of millions of people.
Some have felt so committed to Him that they have chosen to have Jesus tattoos inked into their skin. It is a great way to show a love for their Savior. What makes these tattoos so great is that they can be done in such a way as to bring hope to any person. For example, some choose to have Jesus appear black, so that they can have a Jesus that is more personal to them. Others choose to have Jesus shown on the cross so they can depict the sacrifice He made for them.

Marsalforn lies between the hill-top town of Xaghra and Zebbug and is the most popular tourist summer resort on the island, packed with hotels, bars, good restaurants and pretty beaches.
Our Guides' Favourite Pick!
By the Sea Tour
Mgarr ix-Xini, Kantra Bay and Ta' Cenc Cliffs as you've never seen them before!...
More Info
Salt Pans to Ta' Pinu - Slideshow
This is by far our grandest and best-selling tour, where we'll be passing through one of the most scenic routes of Gozo, right on the edge of the northern coast, and visiting lots of interesting and picturesque landmarks.
We depart from Marsalforn (near Calypso Hotel) and glide all along the coastline of this popular tourist resort to Qbajjar bay, before reaching one of Gozo's top landmarks – the Salt Pans in Xwejni Bay
Gliding along on our Segways, with the fresh sea breeze hitting our faces, we pass by local reel fisherman trying their luck fishing for tuna, amberjack, or local delicacy 'lampuki' (depending on the season) and before we know it we soon arrive to Wied l-Ghasri.
Here we can take time to walk down to this beautiful bay and have a relaxing break... and why not freshen up in the crystalline sea! If you would like to avail yourself of this option, kindly notify us when booking , so we can allow more time for your tour. Please note that an extra 30 minutes will be allowed for this detour, costing an additional Euro 5p.p. ... Don't forget your swim suits!
Proceeding on with our journey, we will soon arrive to Wied il-Mielah. After a short stop for a refreshing stroll down the stairs to see the natural stone window down by the sea, we hop on our Segways once again and peacefully glide to the famous Ta' Pinu Sanctuary.
After a short visit to this Sanctuary, we commence our journey back, passing through the small village of Ghasri before reaching the base of Ta' Gurdan lighthouse.
An optional diversion (not included – please ask tour leader) up the steep but lovely passage leading to the lighthouse will provide you with a stunning 360degree panorama view of the whole island.
For the final leg of our tour we pass beneath the hillside village of Zebbug and continue downhill through the picturesque valley known as 'Wied l-infern', before returning to Marsalforn Bay.
Marsalforn lies between the hill-top town of Xaghra and Zebbug and is the most popular tourist summer resort on the island, packed with hotels, bars, good restaurants and pretty beaches.
Situated on the north coast of Gozo, this place is characterised by chequered rock-cut saltpans protruding into the sea. These 350 year old salt pans, which stretch about 3km along the coast, are one of the most photographed places in Gozo. Sea salt production is one of the oldest local traditions, passed down within many generations.
Voted one of the top three bays in Gozo, this place is very popular with divers who like to explore the surrounding underwater caves, and the narrow and secluded bay is also a haven for those who seek a quiet bathing area.
Wied il-Mielah valley is rich in flora and in fact the way down is like a botanical display of vegetation, typical to the Mediterranean. Yellow rather than green is the primary colour here, especially from late autumn to spring, when many fields bloom with the small yellow flower of the Cape Sorrel.
Built in 1920, this architectural masterpiece sits in front of the original much older chapel. This small chapel remains intact behind the altar and still contains the painting of the Assuption to Heaven of Our Lady - which is said to have miraculously appeared to Karmni Grima in 1883, rapidly becoming a centre of pilgrimage. The number of visitors soon overwhelmed the little church, which led to the construction of the Sanctuary we see today.
Rising 161meters above sea level, this lighthouse was constructed in 1851 under British rule. It was built to meet the needs of the ever-increasing maritime traffic in the area. Despite improved maritime navigation technology, it still continues to function till this day.
Marsalforn is the most popular tourist resort in Gozo, nestled between the hill-top towns of Xaghra and Zebbug. The lush, evergreen valley that leads all the way to the bay is one of the most beautiful, unspoilt spots on the island. Amongst the fertile fields in this valley one can find a labyrinth of passages, crisscrossing from the popular Salt Pans to the capital Victoria and all the way up to Xaghra.
Gozo Segway Tours have come up with a tour of exploration in this beautiful valley and it's quickly becoming one the best selling tours on the market! The tour departs any day from central Marsalforn, and is a must for anyone wanting to explore more of Gozo's hidden beauties!

The woman at the centre of the Nick Kyrgios sledging affair has spoken for the first time, saying she hopes such a thing never happens again.
19-year-old Croatian Donna Vekic, a WTA Tour player ranked 128 in the world, was unwittingly catapulted into headlines worldwide last week when Kyrgios made a sexual remark about her in a match against her boyfriend, French Open champion Stan Wawrinka.
"(Fellow Australian player Thannasi) Kokkinakis banged your girlfriend. Sorry to tell you that mate," said Kyrgios midway through the second set.
Vekic told the Canadian newspaper The Province on Wednesday that the incident dragged the name of tennis through the mud.
"It's not easy but I'm trying to focus on tennis and my next match," she told the paper.
"I haven't spoken to Kyrgios. But its a very disappointing thing to be happening in our sport and I hope it wont happen again because it's not a very good image for our sport."
Kyrgios' outburst sparked universal condemnation across the tennis world.
The ATP fined him $US10,000 ($13,560) and Wawrinka and Kokkinakis both expressed their displeasure, as did senior tour players like Roger Federer and world No.1 Novak Djokovic.
And all the controversy may be affecting him on court, with the bad boy dumped out of the Cincinnati Masters overnight by Frenchman Richard Gasquet 6-2 6-1.

Women own more than 8 million non-farm businesses and the number of women entrepreneurs is increasing rapidly. However, the income from these companies is just 4% of the total income generated from all businesses.
How can coaching help more women entrepreneurs find the success they want?
Women approach business and the challenges that come to them in a different way. They are more likely to co-mingle family and work. Here are four ways coaching that focuses on both life and business can assist women in defining, refining, and achieving their business goals.
Recognize the mix of family and work. Many women start their own businesses especially because they want the flexibility to have time for family. The entrepreneurial lifestyle can foster freedom and independence.
However, it can also take total control of your life. Start-ups by women have markedly less funding then men's new ventures. So women trade time for money. They may work days, nights, and weekends.
A life and business coach can help women find the right balance between work and home. They can help the business owner find options and choices to find success in both areas.
What's your definition of success? For women, success may be less about money and more about their passion and mission. Women are more likely than men to reinvest their profits back into the business.
Executive coaches can help women business owners contemplate their goals and define their objectives. They can act as a sounding board to help owners balance profit and income with company growth.
Especially solo-preneurs who go it alone, benefit from a neutral, outside perspective that a coach brings to the situation.
How do you achieve success? Through nature or nurture, many women build success differently than men. For years women competed in the rough-and-tumble world of men.
Now, more of their strategies for success are gaining recognition in their own right. Coaches can help women build on their innate strengths and see when they must be tempered with other approaches.
Women often shine at networking. They may build their business based on collaboration. And relationships are a vital part of their work. Business coaching can help them see when these methods move them closer to their goals and when they inhibit them.
How is your self-assessment? A study from the University of Wisconsin shows women self-assess differently than men do. Even though more than 50% of the MBA graduates are women and they go on to accomplish important things, they tend to undervalue their accomplishments.
Coaches for entrepreneurial women can help them more accurately assess their strengths and talents. Mentors and others can get women to recognize and take ownership of their abilities. This leads to greater confidence and stepping out to grow their businesses to the next level.
Life and business coaching for women entrepreneurs may close the gaps that currently exist in income levels and other numbers.
But the biggest benefits will come to the individual women to use this coaching to streamline their lives and their businesses so they create happiness and success both at home and at work.

I don't know if I can stifle the cold at this point, but I want to keep it from getting worse. I plan to sleep a lot and might go out to buy some Jamba Juice Coldbuster. I also have Airborne.

Between August 31 and September 3, 2016 Beetle the cat was shot in the Chambers Flat area, Brisbane.
A Good Samaritan found Beetle and brought him into the Brisbane RSPCA for treatment to save his life. He had horrific injuries to his hind leg, suffering from a fractured proximal femur and shrapnel found embedded in the wound.
Sadly Beetle's leg needed to be amputated due to the severity of injuries he sustained. Despite his awful encounter, this sweet cat loves head rubs and is recovering at the RSPCA. He will soon be on the lookout for a new home. Lucky for Beetle he has 9 lives!
If you have information that can help our Inspectorate with their investigations please contact us via 1300 852 188 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
To enquire about adopting Beetle contact 07 3426 9999 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Please view all of our pets available to adopt in Queensland here.

His Philosophy
Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon Glenn Vallecillos, M.D., F.A.C.S. believes that aesthetic medicine is more than a branch of plastic surgery; it is the ultimate marriage of anatomic form and function with psychological satiety.
"We provide a service that spans far beyond a surgical procedure," says Dr. Vallecillos. "At its fundamental level, every surgery is deeply rooted to a person's sense of well-being and sense of self-confidence. We thus strive to exceed our clients' expectations, at each and every touch point."
His Words
"Aesthetic and plastic surgery is more than just another branch of medicine. When a human being can be creative at this level, anything is possible. My work is about much more than just breast augmentation or facelifts or injectables. It speaks to a promise in discovering your aesthetic ideals and in doing so, harnessing your confidence. This website is about journeys. Enjoy yours."

text: So today could be an interesting day. I have an appointment with my therapist--good timing on that one--and then husband has an appointment with his psychiatrist. husband has had racing thoughts (admitted it and wow was it obvious) and 1 night of insomnia--not as bad as before psychiatric hospital but still scares teh **&* out of me as that was one thing that triggered his manic episode. Then last night he was on his I don't need these medications tirade, and he called his psychiatrist a flake! I have seen flakey docs, I work with many of them and he is by no means a flake! He returns his calls and genuinely seems to care. So where in the world did that come from? I have been going to all of husband's doctor appts with him, his memory is shot so he just cannot recall all that was said. I have been trying to be careful about how I word things, but last night I slipped and said WE have an appointment with psychiatrist tommorrow. He glared at me and said WE!!! Oh, I wish I had not said we. It does sound bad, but I did not mean it that way. Now I am not sure if he is going to let me go, I am going to try to go along and at least stay in the front lobby as I think his psychiatrist will call me in if he has questions for me, he has done that in the past, but I am a little worried. Then after husband's psychiatrist appointment we go to difficult child's psychiatrist. That I am not worried about, but if he asks me how husband is doing I will have to let difficult child leave as I don't know if I can talk to his psychiatrist about it without breaking down. I am just so unsure of how this day will turn out. husband needs to see psychiatrist and he needs his medications. I am not willing to put up with husband unless he continues his medications and hope it does not come down to an ultimatum, but with him it often does.

See that picture above? That's my jam stash. The various jams, jelly, preserves, sauces, and fruit butter I made over the summer. More than 15 jars. It's crazy. I hardly ever buy jam. But something about the kind I MADE myself — I got a little obsessed. **shrugs** I have been stirring my stuff into cottage cheese and yogurt. The occasional peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Even more rarely scones and biscuits. I'm thinking there will be more biscuits now that the weather's turned cool. I stumbled on a website that uses jams in cocktails — so I might play around with that a bit too.
I got a bit of a sweet tooth the other night, and got to thinking about making something with one of these jars of loveliness. I considered thumbprint cookies or linzer cookies — but those were hours away, between softening butter, refrigerating dough, and the sheer labor involved in rolling dozens of balls or rolling out and cutting dough. I thought about layered bars. I haven't made too many of them in the past — the whole crust production followed by filling(s) followed by toppings — just seemed like a lot of work and dirty dishes. And some of those crusts are just dry and tasteless. And the fillings overly sweet. And the toppings overly complicated. I knew I could do better.
So here was my goal — come up with a single concoction that would serve as BOTH crust and topping. I wanted something that was a cross between shortbread and cookie. As for the filling — oh my word — my own blackberry preserves! Not nearly as sweet as a commercial jam, and a bit looser — so it could firm up as it cooked. Because my blackberry jam was made with cinnamon and star anise, I thought a little anise seed in the dough might be nice. The food processor made short work of this dough — it all came together lickety-split. And the CGP thoroughly approved.
Blackberry Jam Layer Bars
Makes 16 tiny squares
1/3 cup white sugar
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons anise seed (optional)
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1 egg, separated
1/2 pint loose jam or preserves
Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare an 8″ by 8″ baking pan with overlapping foil pieces to make a sling — spray well with baking spray.
Put the sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, and anise seed into a food processor and pulse a few times until combined. Drop in the cubed butter and egg yolk. Pulse a few times until it looks like fine damp sand. Add the egg white. Pulse a few times until it looks like coarse wet sand.
Loosely scoop out about one cup of these crumbs and set aside. Press the remainder into the bottom of your prepared pan, pressing into the corners and making it as smooth as possible. Bake this about 10 to 12 minutes just until set.
Spread the jam or preserves over the bottom crust (try to remember that the pan is hot and not burn yourself). Loosely sow the remaining cup of crumbs across the top.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until the preserves are all bubbly at the edges and the top is light golden brown. Here's the tough part — you gotta let them cool to room temp before you can lift them out and cut them into little squares!

I'm new to the forum and pretty inexperienced in all aspects of 3d software (great start I know)
I've been making all sorts of models in Blender, mainly using it to simplify 3d scans made with 123dCatch from Autodesk. I've happily made many fbx, dae, and obj files of various complexities. Generally that's worked quite well.
I now need to convert these files to .pod to be used in the AR app Zappar.
A couple of months ago i experimented with converting a few files and they all showed up well in Pvrshaman and Zappar. However trying the same thing again today with a wide variety of models i havent been able to get a single model to show in shaman or any other program with the correct textures. They are all completely grey or white with some weird smudges of colour.
My previously converted models still open and display correctly.
I have taken instructions from the Zappar documentation to get the right settings.
The "Geometry" tab of the export options window controls how the object data is exported. For Zappar, the primitive type should be set to "Indexed Triangle List" and the "Use Custom Optimization Settings" checkbox can be unticked. These should be the default settings.
The lower portion of the Geometry panel allows selection of the vertex data that is to be exported. The default settings should also be suitable for use in ZapWorks Studio. The "Position" and "Normal" rows should be enabled with the data type set to "float", and have the 3 channels set to "X", "Y", "Z" in order. "Export Mapping Channels" should also be ticked, which should also be set to "float" data type and have the channels set to "U", "V", and "-" in order.
On the "Materials" tab, the main "Export Materials" checkbox should be ticked.
There are no animations or other complexities.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I've tried converting obj, fbx and dae files. I've tried exporting the file to various locations with various versions of the texture files. I've tried various combinations of other settings and can't get anything to work.
Any help would be vastly appreciated. I know it's difficult to help someone with limited knowledge!
(on another note – I cant get the flipping plugin for blender to work. I've copied the files to the directory as per the manual. I've also tried 'install from file' from within blender. Im using the correct x64 files but always get a winerror 126)February 16, 2017 at 10:26 am #55257
Hi Andy,
Firstly, welcome to our forum. We will try to help you as much as we can.
The problem exporting models for Zappar might be related to the vertex attributes configuration. Sadly, it is very easy to change the configuration by mistake when scrolling the window. This is something we have fixed for our next release.
Try loading the default configuration. Just right-click on the left hand panel "Default config" and select Set as Current. The default configuration should work with Zappar.
If this does not work for you, please attach one of the broken models to this thread and we will have a look.
The problem with Blender on Windows might related to the location of the QT libraries required for our plugin. These should be installed in the same folder where the Blender executable is (C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender). Do not forget to also copy the "platforms" folder in the same place. Our documentation is not very clear about this.
If you still having problems with this, please, let me know.
Best regards.

Hey Carlos
Thank you so much for your reply.
I've followed your instructions and now the Blender Plugin works well. You're right though, the documentation really isn't clear on how to install it.
As for the models. I'm not totally sure what's going on but they seem to work on the whole. I still have problems with some models – but I think that might be Blender issues and not Pod issues.
I'm not sure if it was the default settings that have sorted things out. I also changed from using the 64 bit version of Shaman to the 32 bit, but that's unlikely to have helped I'm assuming?
Anyway. I'm back on track I think.

The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to all the vehicles these days. Your Dodge dealership isn't the only place to locate genuine or original equipment quality parts to repair your Caliber. You purchased your Caliber because its reliable transport and versatility agreed with your nature; so why would you settle for second best when it comes to great quality auto parts? Anyone who drives a Dodge knows that when it comes to repairing their automobile only the absolute best replacement parts will do.
As far back as two thousand years ago, the Greeks and Romans were using hydraulic pressure to provide drinking water to cities. Your Dodge Caliber has a very efficient system of hydraulic pressure production and distribution that all starts in the brake master cylinder. This part uses the force from your brake pedal to compress brake fluid and distribute it to each caliper or wheel cylinder. The calipers and wheel cylinders are a form of slave cylinder; using the hydraulic pressure from the Dodge Caliber brake master cylinder to pinch your brake pads against the rotor or the brake shoes against the drum so your car or truck can stop in an emergency.
Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. Don't let a Brake Master Cylinder repair bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by using anything but the best repair parts. Bring your Caliber back to life with the best replacement parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Need 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007 Dodge Caliber Brake Master Cylinder parts?

Just How Raunchy Is The Film?
The film, as Lily Harrison of E! Online puts it, "dodged the NC-17 rating, much like the first flick Fifty Shades of Grey" and received an R rating for "strong erotic sexual content, some graphic nudity and language." (Source) Harvey Day of The Daily Mail says, "It's one of the raunchiest Hollywood franchises in recent history." (Source) Dakota Johnson, who stars as Anastasia Steele, said that the film will be even more "sexually heightened" than the first one. (Source) So how does she get through filming scenes with such a heightened level of sexuality? By getting drunk of course! Johnson admitted to having a "pregame ritual" in which she gets drunk before filming the movie's sex scenes: "He does pushups and I just lay there and drink whiskey." (Source)
It's no surprise, from a Biblical perspective, that a person who is about to engage in such a filthy adaptation of this erotica novel would need to get drunk to help her make it through the scenes. The Bible warns that we should not get drunk and that it leads to debauchery (Ephesians 5:18). Much like Lot's daughters who would use alcohol to get their father drunk so that they could commit grievous sexual sin, Dakota self-medicates with alcohol to help her get through her sinful acts. While Dakota was able to numb herself enough to help her act the gratuitous sex scenes, the same could not be said for her mother, actress Melanie Griffith. On the red carpet for the 2015 Oscars, Melanie could be seen visually uncomfortable as an interviewer asked if she has seen her daughter act in her biggest role yet. Griffith replied, "I don't think I can. I think it would be strange." The woman interviewing her tried to calm the obvious tension as her daughter became upset, explaining that Johnson was a very talented actress and telling her she should be proud of her, but Griffith replied, "She's a really good actress … I don't need to see that to know how good she is". At this point, Johnson can be seen visibly upset with her mother, and the interview went viral because of the candid display of embarrassment. (Source)
But that isn't the only relative who isn't all that thrilled with watching their loved one be displayed for all to see. Jamie Dornan, who plays Christian Grey, said of his wife, "She hasn't seen the film and I don't think she will, to be honest." One could imagine how difficult it would be for the wife and mother of their two children to make it through such scenes without feeling repulsed and even betrayed.
A Different Kind of "Love"
While the film will come ridden with sadomasochism and public displays of sexual gratuity, the executives at Universal have reportedly given the actors a gag-order when it comes to how they talk in interviews and on their own personal Twitter feeds. According to Oscar-winning actress Marcia Gay Harden, who plays Christian Grey's mother in the film, she was reprimanded for tweeting about "sex toys". This is because the directors would like you to believe that the expressions made in the film are those of true love. They do not want you to see the film for the smut it truly is, but would prefer you believe this is the way love is truly meant to be. As Hollywood has continued its push at making fornication, adultery, homosexuality and polyamory a normative societal expression, the Fifty Shades series has attempted to bring sadomasochism into the fray. If you do not believe that the entertainment industry has had an effect on how young people view relationships, you are simply not paying attention. In 1991, Madonna made the following statement on how to desensitize people into accepting homosexuality as normative:
"They digest it on a lot of different levels. Some people will see it and be disgusted by it, but maybe they'll be unconsciously aroused by it. If people keep seeing it and seeing it, eventually it's not going to be such a strange thing." (The Advocate, May 7, 1991, pg. 49)
This is not an accident, this is by design. And don't think that this isn't having an affect on people. This lax view of sex, and the idea of your own pleasure and desires trumping that of God's will, is not missed in our society. In fact, a recent study done on sex and the millennial shows us just how far we have fallen in our view of the marriage bed.
Sex Before Marria…THE FIRST DATE!
According to the annual Singles in America Survey, 34% of singles say that they have had sex before a first date. You read that right…BEFORE THE FIRST DATE! Helen Fisher, Phd., a biological anthropologist and chief scientific adviser for Match.com said, "We have a real misunderstanding of Millennials, I think they are very career oriented, so sex before the first date could be a sex interview, where they want to know if they want to spend time with this person." (Source)
So-called "Sex-Therapist", Kimberly Resnick Anderson, believes that the dynamic has changed when it comes to our viewpoint on sex.
"We used to think of sex as you crossed the line now you are in an intimate zone, but now sex is almost a given and it's not the intimate part." (Ibid.)
But Christians couldn't be using this line of thinking, right? Actually, Bromleigh McCleneghan, author of Good Christian Sex: Why Chastity isn't the Only Option – And Other Things the Bible Says About Sex (talk about calling good evil and evil good), a married mother of three and an associate "pastor" says that single Christians can have sex as long as it's "mutually pleasurable and affirming". (Bromleigh McCleneghan, Good Christian Sex: Why Chastity isn't the Only Option – And Other Things the Bible Says About Sex, HarperOne, 2016, p. 103)
In her Op-Ed in The Washington Post concerning her book she says, "Part of figuring out how to live into the creative life of God is figuring out how to live into being yourself, and choosing the spiritual practices and disciplines that support your own discipleship. One of the most unfair things the Christian tradition has foisted on singles is the expectation that they would remain celibate – that is, refraining from sexual relationships." (Bromleigh McCleneghan, The Washington Post, August 22, 2016)
One must ask McCleneghan, under who's discipleship do you follow whatever rules you want to follow? The Jesus of the Bible asked His followers, "Why do you call me 'Lord, Lord' and do not the things I say?" (Luke 6:46), and that those who love Him obey His commandments (John 15:10). I imagine that the Lord's brother, Jude, would have this to say to someone telling Christians to engage in sexual sin, "For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ." She is giving them poison and telling them it is grape juice!
These are the very stumbling blocks that Peter wrote about in 2 Peter 2 when dealing with false prophets.
"These are springs without water and mists driven by a storm, for whom the black darkness has been reserved. For speaking out arrogant words of vanity they entice by fleshly desires, by sensuality, those who barely escape from the ones who live in error, promising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by what a man is overcome, by this he is enslaved." (2 Peter 2:17)
Rather than the call to "Flee sexual immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body" (1 Corinthians 6:18), Bromleigh McCleneghan calls for singles to give in to their desires. These desires that wage war against the soul will lead into nothing but despair. When you fashion a god that is different from the one we find in Scripture, this is called the sin of idolatry. A god that does not care whether or not you follow His commands or choose for yourself which commands you wish to follow is not real.
Interestingly enough, as our 2015 article regarding Fifty Shades of Grey pointed out, the number of women who have begun frequenting pornography websites after reading the book series has increased significantly. It was one researcher's view that the book would only aide in this trend:
"…researcher Diana Parry interviewed 28 women ranging in age from 20 to 50+ who had read Fifty Shades of Grey, and asked about their pornography habits. She discovered that women in the group increased their consumption of sexually explicit content after reading the book. "So many of the women [we interviewed] were hopping in for the first time to pornography or sexually explicit material that was written by women for women," Parry told Salon in an interview.
If the numbers given out recently during the Women's March are any indicator, it is certainly having an effect. According to the most visited pornography website in the world, the normal amount of visitors on their site dropped significantly during the march. It was estimated that they lost over 2,000,000 visitors that would normally be tuning in while the march was taking place. The majority of those missing visitors, coming from the female side of the spectrum." (Source)
If you are a woman or a man who is thinking about watching these films or reading these books, we implore you to flee from this sensual desire. If you are someone who has already given into this temptation, we hope that you will prayerfully repent and help to warn others of its sinfulness. If you are having trouble with this or other forms of pornography, I encourage you to speak with a trusted brother or sister in the Lord and pray about how you can be held accountable. The following excerpt is taken from an earlier article titled "Pornography Through The Lenses of Scripture":
We need to recognize the spiritual warfare that is going on. One of the chief dangers when it comes to men fighting against this sin is not knowing who the enemy is! The Bible gives us an exact guideline on not only who he is, but how to defeat him! The Bible says that we aren't fighting merely against a flesh and blood battle. It is not only our fleshly desires that are tempting us, but a cunning enemy who will bring about temptation in our life. This is a battle that is won not only on our knees but with our comrades. We have fellow soldiers in the army of God who need to come together and fight this battle with us.
In Exodus chapter 17 we read of the battle of Amalek and Israel. Not only did Moses raise his arms to Heaven, but his brothers came to his aid when he didn't have the strength to hold them up himself:
"So it came about when Moses held his hand up, that Israel prevailed, and when he let his hand down, Amalek prevailed. But Moses' hands were heavy. Then they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other. Thus his hands were steady until the sun set. So Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword." (Exodus 17:11-13)
This is where the Body of Christ needs to step up. We need to hold our brothers arms up when they are lacking in strength. We need to make sure we hold each other accountable. If you are struggling with sin, find a brother or sister that you can confide in and ask him/her to pray for you.
As God puts it:
"Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of the righteous man can accomplish much." (James 5:16)
Remember, don't let Google know more about your struggles than a brother or sister in the Lord. Pray without ceasing. Do not simply pray THAT God will get you through the struggle, pray UNTIL God gets you through the struggle and lean on your brothers or sisters. Carry one another's burdens and fulfill the law of Christ (Galatians 6:1-2)!
