This isn't a review, it's a love letter.
I first saw this movie on a local channel when I was a kid. It blew my mind and I knew I was witnessing something special. I saw it again years and years later; in fact, I know exactly when it was: Summer of 1992. It was on the USA Network on a Saturday afternoon, and I remember my Mom came into the living room, right at the part when Shao Tien-Hao's about to take care of a little "Nuisance," and my Mom said, "What in the hell are you watching?" She said it more in horror than annoyance, because it's a pretty shocking scene: something you won't see the normal Hollywood hero do, that's for sure.
The movie already had great importance to me, but it rocketed into the mythic stratosphere just a few months later, when I entered college and met a guy who loved the movie as much as I did. But the important fact was that he had a copy of the original US video release, which was, cue fanfare, UNCUT. In fact this movie was partly responsible for the friendship between me and this guy, Ken, a friendship which continues to this day. So that's just one of the many reasons I'm such an admirer of this cinematic tour de force of violence, heroic sacrifice, and "forced prostitution."
I'll usually complain if a movie has too much action and too little story, and it's true that Five Element Ninja (or as I'll probably always call it, Super Ninjas) is mostly action. But when it's done this well, when the movie's this cool, who really cares? If you want crackerjack kung-fu choreography, bizarre yet deadly weaponry, cool characters in cool costumes, sexy ninja chicks in fishnet stockings, and warriors tripping over their own intestines, then boy do I have the movie for you.
Cheng Tien-Chi stars as Shao Tien-Hao, a cocky young kung-fu whiz kid. We really don't get to meet him for a while, though; instead, the opening half of the movie concerns a sparring match between Shao's school and a rival school. Things don't go so well for the rival school; even their guest fighter, a samurai, is defeated. The samurai calls in his ninja pals right before slicing open his own stomach. Eventually the ninjas issue a challenge to Shao's school. Their teacher, who's lost his kung-fu due to a poisoned dart the samurai threw at him right before committing suicide, sends off several of his best students, but keeps Shao and Chi Shang (portrayed by Venom Lo Meng) by his side.
Shao's schoolmates are slaughtered by the ninjas. There's no other word for it. Representing each of the five elements, there's the water ninjas, who come out of the water, the fire ninjas, who use fire and smoke tactics, the earth ninjas, who erupt out of the ground, the gold ninjas, who blind their opponents with their golden shields, and the wood ninjas, who hide inside of trees. During this long battle sequence the movie offers many grisly moments, with the aforementioned intestine-tripping, multiple hackings and dismemberings, and even (in the uncut version) a quick glimpse of a female fire ninja's breasts.
The ninja leader then sends in female ninja Senshi to gather information on Shao's school. Cozying up with the gullible Chi Shang, she successfully gathers enough details for the ninjas to mount a nighttime assault. This leads to the destruction of the school, the murder of the teacher and Chi Shang, and the capture of Shao. He's able to escape, due to a lesson he once received from an elderly Chinese ninja master. Shao finds this old man and learns the ninja arts. Eventually he's able to issue his own challenge to the ninjas, he and his three new brothers meeting each group and kicking ass. Along the way he settles his score with Senshi ("I was right. WAS I right?"), wastes tons of ninjas, and gains his vengeance.
The fighting in this movie is great across the board. It's one of the few kung-fu movies you could watch over and over, and never get bored. The Venoms movies can be seen as the peak of the Shaw Brothers kung-fu flicks, but sometimes their choreography was a bit too "hey, look at me!" sort of stuff. Five Element Ninja has acrobatic leaps and kicks and punches, just like the Venoms, but it's all certainly more hard-hitting. Weapons fighting takes predominance over kung-fu, but this isn't your typical swordplay movie at all. The choreography is flawless and shows off the obvious skill of the performers.
I have a feeling that if the Shaw Brothers had continued making films, the actors in this movie would have gone on to become Chang Cheh's "New Venoms." Most of them had already appeared in the final Venoms movie, House of Traps, but here they get a chance to shine on their own. In particular I've always liked lead actor Cheng Tien-Chi, who seems to me like the "Voltron Venom." If all the other Venoms combined, he would be the result: he's got the lead-actor qualities of Kuo Choi, the on-screen charisma of Lo Meng, the comedic talents of Chiang Sheng, the weapons mastery of Lu Feng, and the kicking ability of Sun Chien. I wish he'd made more movies, but he faded along with the Shaw Brothers moviemaking empire. A footnote to the Cheng Tien-Chi story is that he was good friends with Venom Chiang Sheng; it was Cheng Tien-Chi who discovered Chiang's body, dead from a heart attack, in 1991.
The other actors who stand out for me are the mustached Tien Hsiang-Lung as Brother Li, who makes a lone stand against the fire ninjas, the evil ninja leader Chin Tien-Chun, played by Chan Wai-Man (who'd been appearing in Shaws movies for at least a decade), and the three brothers who join Shao's cause. Then of course there's Lo Meng, who'd quit the Venoms crew years before, but stayed with the Shaws until the very end. He's always been one of my favorites. According to his biography on the new Celestial DVD release of Five Venoms, Lo's a TV star in Hong Kong these days, and lately he's been attempting to refashion his image as a comedic performer!
The pacing of the narrative is perfect. You might think this is just a schlocky fight-fest, but there's emotional content here. In fact, the ending gets me every time. Seeing the punishment the ninja leader puts his three new brothers through, Shao realizes what he must do. His final mad dash toward the leader, as various clips from the film flash before his eyes, is to me one of the many highlights of the movie.
This film is one of Chang Cheh's best, even if the sets are a bit cheap-looking (at one point you can see paint bubbles in the sky), and the costumes at times are too outrageous. (I don't know too many ninjas who would wear bright gold costumes, and believe you me, I know lots of ninjas.) In some ways, Five Element Ninja can be seen as an ultraviolent combination of Chang's earlier, more artsy (but bloody) movies and his later kung-fu fests. It's unfortunate that this was his last movie to make any impact, but at the same time, it's fitting.
I could go on and on, make this review epic length, but I'm trying to hold myself back. Hopefully I've managed to convey my enthusiasm. You know how sometimes you'll be watching a movie, and you'll wonder, "wouldn't it be cool if?" Like, "Wouldn't it be cool if ninjas erupted out of the ground?" Or, "Wouldn't it be cool if that dude killed himself with an axe?" Or, "Wouldn't it be cool if they fucking ripped the main villain in half?" Well, Five Element Ninja meets and exceeds your every "wouldn't it be cool if" wish.
As a final word, I advise all to out the Panmedia-released, uncut DVD of this film, which is generally listed as "Chinese Super Ninjas uncut." It's just a bootleg dub of a video, much like the NS DVD version you can find in stores is a bootleg dub of a video, but whereas the NS release is sourced from an edited version, the Panmedia disc is truly uncut, as it's taken from the original US video release. The same version my pal Ken showed me, all those years ago. And then when Celestial finally gets with it and releases the remastered version on DVD, buy that one, too. You'll want both. I'm dreaming of the day when Celestial releases this movie, but dreading it, too. Because I'm so familiar with the English dub (I could quote lines from it all day and not get bored), it's going to be hard getting used to everyone speaking in Mandarin. But, just to see this movie in widescreen, I can deal with that, no problem.
If I had to make a list of my top five favorite Shaw Brothers movies, Five Element Ninja would rank in the number one position. That's about the highest praise I can give it. I'm patiently awaiting the Celestial release. (By "patiently," I mean I'm kicking puppies every chance I get.)
Okay, I'll limit myself to just one more of my favorite lines in the English dub: "Look at this one! His GUTS are all over!"

"Five Element Ninjas" is a blood-soaked and highly entertaining martial-arts flick from the early '80s. The music score is more appropriate to a production of a decade earlier and the English dubbing leaves much to be desired, but the movie is still rewarding. It is proof positive that you don't need Sho Kosugi, Tadashi Yamashita, or Michael Dudikoff to make a far-out ninja movie. Um, did Japanese gals really wear fishnet-type outfits back in day? Where's the excrement in that one scene where that one Chinese fighter has intestinal stuff hanging out? OK, so the movie might be somewhat worthy of the "Mystery Science Theater 3000" treatment, but "Five Element Ninjas" is consistently entertaining, with expert fight choreography. I personally would've preferred more notable actors to appear in the movie, but what the hey! The Tokyo Shock DVD I rented features a print that was apparently remastered–and a wonderful job at that.

I was hesitant to even give Chinese Super Ninja a chance. I'm not a big fan of martial arts films. In fact, I'm pretty ignorant of the genre entirely as evidenced by my favorites: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. House of Flying Daggers. Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. (See?) I also didn't grow up on any of the Shaw Brothers films (no Kung Fu Theater on cable in England and rural Michigan), so I knew I wasn't going to give Super Ninja a great rating solely because I remembered it fondly from my youth. I remember watching Betamax copies of all of Bruce Lee's films, but my experience with kung fu-heavy action films was pretty much limited to that and whatever Hollywood crapped out, like Big Trouble in Little China, The Last Dragon and Bloodsport.
To my surprise, however, Chinese Super Ninja kicks ass. The fact that it has dozens of ninjas with a variety of ninja weapons and performing all sorts of ninja moves is almost reason enough to give this movie a perfect score. But it also has a sexy, fishnet-stocking clad hot female ninja. It has cool color-themed ninjas representing the elements. (Think the symbolic use of color of Zhang Yimou's Hero and Flying Daggers, but add bad dubbing and more gore and you've got "element ninjas.") The plot is simple, but the defend-the-fort story-line is one of those action movie staples that always seems to work (see also Night of the Living Dead, Assault on Precinct 13, Rio Bravo, etc.). The combat is well-choreographed and plenty bloody (a guy steps on his own…was that a nearly-severed, dangling thigh muscle? An intestine?). Even the acting isn't as bad as you'd imagine it might be in one of these low-budget, filmed-entirely-in-a-warehouse-with-painted-backdrops types of films (even the shockingly fake "water ninja" scene–which looks like it was filmed in someone's above-ground swimming pool–is highly entertaining).
The bad? I've never liked dubbed movies. I know it's a staple of the genre (like quick zooms to close-ups and absurd sound effects), but because I am hearing impaired, it's almost necessary that I can read the dialogue in subtitles. Because the dubbing is usually out of sync with the actor's lips and the audio is generally pretty poor, I miss most of the dialogue, and ultimately most of the story. Did this detract from my enjoyment of the film? Yes, a little, but it's obviously the nature of the low-budget kung fu film beast, so I'm able to overlook this annoyance and appreciate Chinese Super Ninja for what it is: a fun and colorful action flick filled with gore, great fight scenes and ninjas. Lots and lots of ninjas.

Chang Cheh's "Super Ninjas" is a fastpaced and vicious kung-fu flick full of amazing fights, blood, guts, and brilliant death scenes. When you think about the movie after having watched it, you smile immensely. The plot is, of course, simple: Japanese ninjas versus Chinese warriors. And while most of these types of movies' story telling methods are painfully bad, this one cannot be put in that list. It is, of course, not brilliant, but we aren't ducking under our seats in horror. The stupid dialogue and goofy dubbing make for some great entertainment. It gets the job done with what the director, actors, and cheesy set pieces can do. Fine. Now, let's not dwell on the story more than it deserves…
As mentioned before, "Super Ninjas" is loaded with incredible fight sequences. They are absolutely a sight to behold! The film successfully makes itself look as if an anime show or a videogame were brought into live-action. Our heroes battle against an array of ninjas, all based off the five elements: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. The ninjas are brilliantly realized: the use of colors, weaponry, and techniques are all well done. The movie stays true to these elements by keeping the ninjas in different locations and by adapting them to their environments in some pretty neat and cool methods. I especially enjoyed how the ninjas clad in black move through the night without making a sound. The fighting is propelled at a blazing speed, and the editing can be razor sharp at times. Not only is there outstanding choreography and actors with great martial arts skills, but there is also some crazy cool death scenes, all drenched in fake blood.
I've never laughed as much as I did when several ninjas met their gruesome and "creative" deaths (The best one has got to be the final wood element ninja in the ending). A good thing too is that these fights last for a long periods of time, providing non-stop enjoyment as the carnage ensues. I recommend this to anyone looking for a good time or just a great kung-fu movie. There's plenty adrenaline, excitement and cheesiness to keep you coming back for more of this violent and bloody actioner. With a heavy emphasis on fighting and creativity, "Super Ninjas" is an insane, campy-as-hell, must-see classic!

Even if you hate kung fu movies, this you need to see. I'd say it's better than sex, but what do I know? I haven't even had any yet. Unless vacuum cleaners and right hands count as sexual partners. Then, I'm a regular Ron Jeremy, albeit a skinnier and less hairy one. Getting on with it, this movie rocks. It's the kind of movie that brings back all of the excitement that you got from watching movies when you were a little kid. You know, when you would finish watching a movie and then run over to your best friend's house, describing the whole movie, in that nonsensical, breathless, endless sort of way.
Case in point: When I got home from seeing Terminator 2. I remember walking next door to Justin"s apartment at 2:00 P.M., and leaving at 6:00 P.M., talking nonstop the entire time. "So then, uh, you know, like, the guy with the morphing thing….no, no, not the Terminator…yeah, that scary guy, he turned into the mom, and, oh yeah, and,ummm, later, yeah, he chased that crazy lady in the car and the Terminator was in the car and the kid was in the car and earlier on the kid, ahhh dude, it was so cool, get out your bike , I'll show you what he did…." I could go on for hours… describing the plot, ruining the best moments, acting out the characters, making a mess of my buddy's room, eating all of his food, and then going home to whine and cry to see it again.
Yep, Chinese Super Ninjas is that kind of movie. Immediately after watching, I was, like, "Duuuddde!", Keanu Reeves, Bill and Ted-era style. I found myself breathlessly hyping it up to my friends. "And then the dude, not that dude, the good dude, trips on his own guts, man. Ahhh, man, it was fuggin' crazy! And later on, this one dude's back is fried cause he gets stuck to a fuggin door…seriously….yeah you can watch it at my place, as long as you don't smoke any weed. Why? Why? Remember last time, you ate all my food! Fine, then. Fuck you, too! I'm just gonna watch it myself dude."
Anyways, I'll do the obligatory praising. Chang Cheh is a mad genius. He's like a whacked out kung fu version of John Woo, only crazier. He has guys tripping on intestines, ninjas who swim under water and burrow under the ground, more fake blood than , uh, a fake blood factory(hey, I'm tired), and all kinds of cool stuff. The sets look fake as hell, but it just feels right for a surreal movie like this.
Blood, gore, bad sets…tons of movies have those things, but none of them have the insane energy and drive of this one. If you see one kung fu movie this year, make it this one.
In conclusion, there was this one dude, and um, oh no, my bad, it was the other guy, and he was the bad guy, and he totally got pulled in two, and it was like WAHHHH!, you know, and then this one chick, he didn't even bang her..no, not the dude you're thinkin' of…the one dude! Yeah, him…

I haven't done a tablescape in awhile, but when I saw these leaf patterned plates at the Dollar Tree, I knew I had to do one. And what better way to ring out the Fall season than with a tablescape on Thanksgiving?
I started with a burnt orange tablecloth.
It was a little too bright for me, so I added a cream colored lace tablecloth over it.
Much better.
Then I added my favorite Fall Chargers.
I added the leaf patterned plates.
To break it up a bit, I added a white salad plate.
Next I added a leaf patterned bowl on top of the salad plate.
Then the matching mugs.
Some brown glassware that I got from my Mother-in-law went well.
The centerpiece was kept simple. A pumpkin on a bed of fall leaves was more than enough.
Keeping with the wood of the charger, I added some wood handled flatware that I've had for years. A wooden napkin ring on hand painted napkins finished the place setting off.
To add a little shine to the tablescape, I added some metallic pumpkins to each place setting.
The Fall Tablescape was done.
If you noticed the candles on the wall, they are candle wraps on battery operated candles. They are so easy to make & will be in my next post.
I hope you enjoyed my Fall Tablescape.
Happy Creating everyone!

According to the Leadership 100 website, the organization was created as an endowment fund of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese. Today, the organization "grants range from providing scholarship funds for individuals studying for the priesthood at Hellenic College/Holy Cross School of Theology, to supporting a variety of National Ministries that include Religious and Greek Education, Youth, Young Adult, Family and Marriage services, Inter-Orthodox, Ecumenical and Interfaith Relations, Internet Ministries and Home Mission, as well as humanitarian assistance during national and international crises."
However, the organization isn't just an endowment fund. It is also devoted to being a "driving force to seed and nurture new programs that promote Orthodoxy and Hellenism." This leadership conference is the main event that the organization holds each year. This year, Leadership 100 is also celebrating a record number of members.
The Leadership 100 Conference, which takes place every year, is focused on honoring the organization's intent and celebrating this cause with its members. The conference had many speakers, including Dr. Anthony S. Papadimitriou, who is the President of the Onassis Foundation. The Onassis Foundation is also a member of the Leadership 100 organization. James A. Chanos, a member of Leadership 100 and an investment manager, was also a speaker. His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios also gave a Bible study and lecture during the
In addition to their being speakers during the conference, there were also other events, such as a wine tasting and also a Grand Banquet. Each of these events is designed to bring members together to celebrate the common goals of the organization.

A three-year-old had been told several times to get ready for bed. The last time his mom told him, she was very insistent.
His response was, "Yes, Sir!" Since he was talking to his mother, it was not expected of him to call her "Sir."
-"You would say, 'Yes Sir,' to a man, and since I am a lady, and you would say, 'Yes Ma'am,' to me," his mom said.
To quiz him on his lesson, she then asked, "What would you say to Daddy?"
-"Yes, Sir!" was the reply.
-"Then what would you say to Mama?"
-"Yes, Ma'am!" he proudly answered.
-"Good boy! Now, what would you say to Grandma?"
He lit up and said, "Can I have a cookie?"

Emerges a video of the version cancelled Until Dawn for PlayStation 3
It finally came to PS4.
Supermassive Games before their title of terror to the PlayStation 4 -and even offer a version for PS VR and the virtual reality-, were developing Until Dawn to the PlayStation 3 from a first person perspective. There is now a video that offers us more details of that idea that never saw the light.
the first version of The successful game of terror
Under the concept of the genus called slasher, exploraríamos a hostile environment in the first person, knowing the history of this group of friends and, what is more important, solving some small puzzles, and even shooting on multiple sequences in first person. To move around the environment, we would just have to aim in one direction with the Move and press a button to walk, without the use of any other control, and the puzzles, would be an indispensable part of the gameplay.
The game was changing and mutating throughout its development until arriving to the PlayStation 4, while maintaining the essence, but using another type of gameplay. you Can find out more about the creative process of the game in our column of 'What could be'.
A horror adventure that has a spin-off for PS VR
Until Dawn is an adventure movie horror in which we have to make constant decisions guiding a group of young, which will take us to multiple endings. For his part, Until Dawn: a Rush of Blood, if it offers improvements in PS4 Pro, it is a spin-off to virtual reality of Until Dawn where the player will be subjected to all kinds of scares and situations grotesque in a sort of amusement park abandoned.

Screen time is good, but it can be quickly abused. Samsung wants to help parents monitor it.
Samsung has introduced a new app for users in the U.S. called Marshmallow (via Android Police), and it has nothing to do with the aging version of Android. Instead, it's an app aimed at helping parents monitor and limit their kids' smartphone usage, with kids gaining self-empowerment over how long they spend staring at a screen.
The app is installed onto a compatible Samsung phone (pretty much any Galaxy from the last couple of years, including the cheaper A and J lines) as an administrative controller, so it cannot be disabled or deleted without a parent's password. Once installed, it allows parents to limit the apps that can be opened on the phone, as well as set limits for how long the device can be used.
Using Samsung Marshmallow, a child learns how to use a smartphone naturally by making his or her own smartphone usage plan, achieving goals, and getting rewarded. Also, parents can use the Marshmallow app to talk about smartphone usage habits with their children.
Perhaps more interesting is the ability to parents to allow children to set their own targets for limiting screen time; the app rewards them with Marshmallow points when the phone is used less than the allotted amount, and points are removed when the phone is used too much. The points, once accrued, can be put towards gift cards sold in the Marshmallow store.
The app is free, and available in the U.S. right now. It seems like an interesting concept that, if properly incorporated into a daily routine, could be useful to parents looking to monitor and limit their kids' screen time. As a parent, would you use Marshmallow?

Digital Rights Management – Trailblazing the new landscape
As Earned Media – what real customers are saying about your product, services, and company – is gaining more and more traction, it is bringing to light new questions. Questions like:
- If someone talks about my brand on Twitter, can I use it on my site?
- If a customer posts a great photo of my product on Instagram, can I use that in my promotional materials?
- When I find a video on YouTube related to my company, what right do I have to repurpose this content?
Although you should always use your company's legal counsel to set your policies related to Digital Rights Management (DRM), here's a few quick tips to consider, as well as how VideoGenie's platform is making this all simpler for you.
- Company Affiliated Hashtags: If you're starting a new marketing campaign, create a company or campaign affiliated hashtag. If a customer participates and uses this hashtag, there is implied consent for you to be able to leverage this content on your site or social channels. It's hard to imagine a random person using #VideoGenieFanBoy unless they are interested in participating in a #VideoGenieFanBoy campaign.
- For Generic Content, Seek Approval: If the customer hasn't implied their opt in by using your designated hashtag, it's best to contact them and get permission. Let them know how much you love their post, how you'd love to use it, and give them some sense for how and where they'll use it. If you use VideoGenie, we make this process easy for you (more info below), but it's possible to do this manually as well.
- Empower New Content Creation: A convenient way to get around all of this is to make it simple for your customers to create new content – new video reviews, new photo testimonials, new written content. As you'll see below, VideoGenie does this by obtaining explicit legal permission and ownership of all content submitted through our technology. This has enabled brands including Levi's, UNICEF, and Honey Bunches of Oats to all use our content as part of professional videos and commercials – all because they owned this new content
- Use Native Content Displays: One way to simplify this process is to use native displays from each social channel. As an example, when VideoGenie displays content from YouTube, we use the YouTube video player. This way we are simply using YouTube's native display unit, which they make publicly available on their site. If the user takes down their content for any reason, we will no longer display this content. It is a simple way to make sure your content is fresh and appropriate
How VideoGenie Simplifies This Process
There are several ways in which VideoGenie makes this entire process turnkey and simple for our clients.
(1) The final step in our content submission process – for text, photo, and video – requires the customer to provide some basic information (Name and email, with optional additional fields at our client's discretion). They also must agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy which specifies that the content is owned by the client, and can be used by them for promotional purposes. This is also aided since customers are creating content where they are also viewing the content – if they see a photo on Facebook promoted by a brand, they can add their own photo there as well. This clarifies where and how the content is being used, so it's more intuitive to customers.
(2) If our clients see a Tweet or Instagram photo that they would like to use as part of our technology, they can contact the user with one click. Our system will send that user a message, asking for permission to utilize their post. They'll be brought to a page where they can see the post we're referring to, explain more about how and where we want to use it, and provide them with a similar Terms and Conditions they can review and agree to. Our system tracks how many of these requests are outstanding, and which ones have been completed.
As with any changing landscape, there are always new rules and guidelines. But as of yet, these rules are simple enough to follow, and have some powerful implications for brands. By putting your customers first and making them a part of who you are, they'll feel not only more involved in your company, but also serve as powerful and authentic ambassadors for your company.

Ibn Ali Miller said he stepped in "because it was the right thing to do."
Atlantic City, New Jersey, honored the good Samaritan who brought peace to two fighting teens in a video that has received more than 31 million views.
Ibn Ali Miller, 26, teared up as he made remarks during an event on Wednesday night in which he and the two teens, 15-year-old Jamar Mobley and 18-year-old Sheldon Ward, were recognized. Ali used the moment to thank his mom for raising him to be the man that he is now.
"When I was young I grew up in the projects," Miller said, holding the resolution the City Council presented to him. "When I would get on punishment she would make me read books ... I'm crying because this whole situation deeply saddens me. The fact that it's unbelievable. This should be very believable. This should be a norm and it should be regular."

GRANDVILLE, Mich. (WOOD) — More than 200 feet in the air, a crane swings what workers refer to as "the flying bus" into place. It's actually a concrete form that weighs 12,000 pounds, about the size of a city bus, that's helping build the latest apartment complex in Grandville.
The 1 million-square-foot Grand Castle project, located on 28th Street just east of I-196, is something you'd expect to see rising in downtown Grand Rapids. The design of the 15-story, 400-unit complex was inspired by castles.
"We've owned this ground for the last 10 years and we're going to do something with it. So it was a question of doing three-story buildings or doing something unique," Grand Castle owner Roger Lucas said. "You could build this as a box and it might be cheaper. But this captures the imagination of people. That's what we're trying to do."
Lucas' family vacations to Europe influenced the complex's layout.
"In life, you only get to do so many things. Since we build apartments and we're reasonably successful with it, we're the only people who would try something like this. So that's why I want to do it," Lucas said. "I think it makes you smile. Brings happiness to people. Bring joy to people. We should do this."
Rent will range from just over $900 a month for a one-bedroom unit to $1,500 for a two-bedroom. There will also be some higher-end apartments. Grand Castle will also have a courtyard in the middle and free garage parking for every resident.
But the biggest selling point is the design.
"I haven't met anybody yet who said they didn't want to live in a castle," Lucas said. "It's kind of fun."
If it all continues as planned, the Castle will be ready for residents by next spring.

Below is a
transcript of a written report (and a copy of the first & last page of that
report) on the phrenology reading of William Baglin by Professor Rudd.
The reading was made shortly before the wedding of William Edward Baglin
to Gertrude Rosa Burgess so that George Burgess (then retired Phrenologist)
could give his blessings to the wedding. Therefore this reading would
have been made sometime between June 1901 & June 1905.
The natural conditions of your constitution
are not unfavourable, but still the condition of health should be studied
and attended to it you would retain the constant enjoyment of health.
The health of the mind will depend on the health of the body, and happiness
will depend on both. And it will not be difficult for you to live long
and be healthy if you study and obey the health laws. The power of your
brain does not fully dominate over your physical structure, but on the
whole your physical and mental developments are fairly balanced. You
possess abundant feeling, and all your feelings are glowing and easily
moved. You are very much alive to criticism, and you will be the happier
in proportion as you avoid being influenced so much by this criticism.
When people disapprove of you in any respect you are too likely to be
cast down in spirit on account of it. But you are as readily elated
in feeling when people make much of you, for you really love for people
to appreciate you highly. True and sensible praise will act very favourable
upon your mind and actions, but discouragement will act most ruinous
upon you. The majority of people could bear it better than yourself.
Your organ of self esteem is not sufficiently developed, hence you will
be somewhat wanting in dignity of character. You require a little more
reasonable pride, not more love for approval – but greater inward
consciousness of your own individual worth. You are apt now to underrate
yourself, and live below your natural sphere of usefulness.
You have a sensitive temper, and are
easily offended, but it will not render you very dangerous, your general
intellectual developments indicate a fair practical intellect. You will
not however be very largely comprehensive or philosophic. You have no
inclination to look into mysterious or deep subjects and will therefore
not be a man of great literary knowledge. You have talents for ready
and acute perception, and are somewhat ingenious and wide-a-wake on
some points. You can remember better what you hear than what you read,
and you may learn more from observations than from book study.
Still, you might make a fair general
scholar and teacher. You have a good development of language, which
with your quickness of perception will render you fluent in expression
and you could become an easy speaker of what you may know. You can remember
places and facts well. You should concentrate your mind upon the thing
in hand until it is thoroughly finished or studied, rather more than
you are in the habit of doing. You are not suited for a monotonous or
tedious sphere of life, but will be better adapted for a little business
sphere where in there is variety of action and thought required.
You are open, free, and expressive in
manner, and are not quite cautious enough some times. And liable to
tell more than you need to tell occasionally. You have no deception
about you, neither have you any disposition to deceive in guilty sense.
Your moral qualities will not render you remarkable for reverence, buy
you have much conscientious feeling, which will keenly condemn you for
wrong doing. Your hopes re rather fluctuating, but you are not unusually
suspicious. All your social organs are very fully developed. Hence you
really enjoy a thorough friend. You love the other….. so much
that they…… easily bias you. ………..ingenious
one could pick you off the B……. does best easily ……..
should ……………..

What is the summary of the short story "An astrologer's Day"?
- print Print
- list Cite
In the short story "An Astrologer's Day," the main character is the astrologer. He makes his living while predicting his customers' futures. During an average day, the astrologer sits at the same little place everyday, near a public park, awaiting customers. By nightfall, the astrologer uses the light of his neighboring vendors:
He begins his work every day at midday in a public place under a large tree that is close to a public park in his town. The place chosen for his work is generally full of people who pass by or gather there, such as customers attracted by vendors of nuts, sweetmeats, and other snacks. It is a place poorly lighted in the evening, and because the astrologer has no light of his own, he must depend on what light comes from the flickering lamps kept by neighboring vendors; a dully lighted, murky place is best for his purpose.
During this night, a potential customer walks by. The astrologer tries to get him to stop. The customer does not seem interested at first. He seems to be ridiculing the astrologer, accusing him of being a fake. Just as the customer lights a cheroot, the astrologer catches a glimpse of the customer's face. He recognizes him as a man that the astrologer had left for dead years ago.
When the astrologer realizes who Guru is, the astrologer tries to back out of the agreement. Guru will not hear of it. He demands the astrologer tell him what has happened to the man who assaulted him with a knife and threw him in a well, leaving him for dead.
The astrologer begins to share that Guru's attacker is dead. He shares the details of the assault. Guru is amazed at the astrologer's accuracy. Satisfied that his attacker is indeed dead, Guru throws money at the astrologer.
The astrologer escapes with his life. Guru never suspects that it was the astrologer who left him for dead.
When the astrologer arrives home, he is grateful to be alive. He also is relieved to know he did not kill a man whom he thought he had killed. A weight is lifted off the astrologer's shoulders. He made it through another day and what turns out to be a precarious evening at work.

Digital Transformation is disrupting business models, customer behaviours, and the competitive landscape. It is changing marketing strategies and relationships, as well as the products or services that drive profits.
Of those change programs that fail, 47% suffer from a lack of a change approach. We counter this with our Transformational Change consulting proposition. It offers a proven route to successfully implementing and sustaining change.
There is clear evidence that starting change management at the planning or conceptual stage of transformation drives more success than when it is left later in the process. We wrap our different stages of Transformational Change in a project management layer that begins with early stage planning. This ensures that the implementation approach includes essential change milestones from the beginning and decision, alignment, engagement and feedback loops are planned proactively.
With a strong reputation and track record in managing change in the automotive sector, we drive realization of Digital Transformation and innovation strategies.
Our experience ranges from change in automotive retail experience to change in automotive digital operating models, sales channels and Industry 4.0. We enable leadership with change strategy (e.g. with the help of the Framework for Digital Leadership and Innovation Cultures) and with transformation execution (e.g. with help of our Online Change Toolbox).
We established an integrated program of communication, and synchronized it around various sub-projects designed to improve sales and aftersales performance. We supported local implementation teams with targeted change interventions based on collected market feedback on 'implementation readiness' and rolled out continuous quality tracking.
With our support, this leading OEM built and qualified retail excellence ambassadors and multipliers throughout the organization. The implementation and change approach scaled to 100,000 employees and around 100,000 dealers to embed innovative approaches to making it easier for customers to get in touch and better experience products and brands.

This article throws light upon the top nine features of management of an organisation. The features are: 1. Organised Activities 2. Existence of Objectives 3. Relationship with Resources 4. Co-existence of Superior-Subordinate Employees 5. Productivity 6. Decision Making 7. Leadership 8. Differences in Work 9. Authority.
Management Feature # 1. Organised Activities:
Management is a process of organised activities. Without organised activities, groups of people cannot be involved in the performance of work.
Where a group of people are involved in working towards a common objective, management comes into existence.
The organised activities may take a variety of forms. But all organisations have one thing in common; they want to progress efficiently towards the achievement of their objectives through the co-ordinated efforts of people. This is done by management process.
Management Feature # 2. Existence of Objectives:
An objective or a set of objectives must exist towards which the organised group activities are directed. Without objectives, it becomes difficult to define the direction to which the organised group activities would lead. Management is necessary for the better accomplishment of operating work of any enterprise. The realisation of objectives is sought through the co-ordinated efforts of the people constituting an organisation.
Management Feature # 3. Relationship with Resources:
The essence of management lies in integration of various organisational resources to achieve common goals. Resources include men, money, materials and machines. All these resources are made available to those who manage. They apply knowledge, experience, principles etc. for getting deserved results.
However, since people of operative level do the things by the use of various physical and other resources, it is more important for the managers to take care of integration of human resources. Thus management is concerned with the proper utilisation of human resources which, in turn, utilise other resources.
Management Feature # 4. Co-existence of Superior-Subordinate Employees:
Management involves working with people and getting organisational objectives achieved through them. For getting the work done by others, the managers must have a number of subordinates to assist them. The managers usually divide the work into groups and sections, and allocate them to the subordinates. Through the process of assignment and re-assignment of activities, the actual work is performed by the people at the operative level.
Management Feature # 5. Productivity:
Managerial work holds the key to greater productivity by way of utilizing the rare faculties of human beings. But the contributions of material resources to productivity are insignificant. As material resources are subject to the laws of mechanics, they cannot have any greater output than the value of their input.
Management Feature # 6. Decision Making:
Managerial work involves mental efforts for decision-making at various levels while operating work calls for physical efforts on the part of non-managerial personnel. Decision-making basically involves selecting the most appropriate alternative out of the several.
The quality of the alternative which a manager selects determines the organisation's performance, and the entire future of the organisation depends on the degree to which the right decisions are made by the managers. Therefore, the success or failure of the managers can' be judged by the quality of decisions made by them.
Management Feature # 7. Leadership:
Another important feature of the management process is the exercise of leadership over the followers. Leadership consists in influencing, guiding and directing the behaviour of the subordinates towards certain objectives.
If a manager is required to get things done through others in the exercise of the managerial functions, he must have the capacity and capability to win their trust and confidence, and to guide and direct them towards the accomplishment of organisational objectives.
Management Feature # 8. Differences in Work:
Management is composed of some basic functions like planning, organising, staffing, directing and controlling. The co-ordinated performance of these functions leads to the realisation of organisational objectives. But the contents of operating work vary from institution to institution.
For a business institution, operating work is constituted by production, sale, purchase, financing, etc. whereas, for educational institutions or hospitals, operating work, is constituted in a different way.
Management Feature # 9. Authority:
Existence of a manager depends on the managerial authority. For performing the basic functions of management, plans are to be made, organisation is to be built up, personnel are to be appointed, directives are to be given and activities are to be controlled. For all these functions, receiving and application of administrative authority become necessary. If the manager has no authority, management becomes unworkable.

Finding my FitnessGenes
Part of why I'm into fitness and nutrition is because I like to nerd out on science and I'm fascinated by the body. On the flip side, I fully believe in the power of intuition and trusting your gut–we can intensely know ourselves if we just listen.
I recently did the FitnessGenes test and I was pleasantly surprised by what I discovered: ultimately, what I knew about my fitness and nutrition inherently was only confirmed by what my genetic testing told me! I, of course, learned a lot of new information since they test you for 41 fitness and nutrition focused genes. From that point on they recommend plans for you based on your genetic testing. Basically, working out and eating for how your genes will respond best. Dope.
(I'm excited that I'll be an affiliate with them this new year, so when my clients purchase I can tailor my programming even more specifically to their needs. So exciting! But back to the test and my results…)
Honestly, I thought before doing this that genetic testing took a lot more–blood work or a scan maybe? But it couldn't have been easier. Just a spit, a shake and a send off to the mailbox and it was all done. My results were then in my FitnessGenes account a couple weeks later–41 little insights to the inner workings of my body that I didn't know before.
Here are some of my genetic highlights that also reaffirmed things I "already knew about myself."
I love endurance and high-intensity workouts as well as both cardio and strength training.
Here's why: I have double alleles for the "endurance athlete and increased VO2 max" CKM gene as well as double alleles for the "sprinter" ACTN3 speed gene. On the flipside, I also have double alleles for the "increased muscle strength" ACVR1B gene as well as two copies of the normal CNTF gene which leads to higher strength values, especially in women. (Nothing like your genes confirming that you're a strong female…wink, wink.)
So, when people ask, what do you like to do to work out and I annoyingly answer, "everything really!" well, I mean it. I find it fun to do all different types of workouts and upon reflecting about this more, it's probably why I've attained many different certifications over the years and why my Feel This Burn method is a hybrid of different styles–dance, pilates, yoga, strength training, cardio, etc.
FitnessGenes recommended I take up more workouts like CrossFit (eek!) to see how I fare–they thought I'd be impressed with how I did in that method realm. Maybe something to try this year?
Caffeine and I have a tricky relationship.
Here's why: I have two copies of the "slow metabolizer" CYP1A2 gene that's associated with caffeine. FitnessGenes said it takes me at least 30 minutes for it to kick in versus the instant buzz some people get. This is partially why I gave up coffee for so long: I would notice instantly how the acidity bothered my stomach and not focus on any energy it eventually provided down the road. I gave up coffee for a couple years (after I used to heavily rely on it) and became a tea drinker (the best!). I've recently started introducing mushroom coffee or cold brews (they're less acidic) a couple times a week before workouts or teaching and it's extremely helpful. Coffee and I were in a serious relationship, then we broke up and now we're getting back together.
Mornings are my jam.
Here's why: I have two "early bird" alleles for the CLOCK gene. Not only am I more apt to be a morning person, but my workouts are more effective in the morning. This is all naturally true for me too. Though I like many different workouts, I don't like working out at night–it feels tiresome to me, like I'm moving through molasses. Then, not to mention, I'm all jazzed up and can't fall asleep. No bueno when you have sessions in the 6am hour.
When I'm sore, I feel it deeply and for a prolonged time.
Here's why: I have two copies of the "slow lactic acid clearing" gene MCT1, so my muscles fatigue more quickly. FitnessGenes recommended to take more recovery time between sets and to increase my overall recovery time between high intensity workouts to ensure the lactic acid to clears. The increased recovery time between sets is super helpful to think about, but I think I naturally take more time in between HIIT workouts. If I do a HIIT class on a Tuesday, you'll probably see me at yoga or pilates on a Wednesday. Doing HIIT two days in a row feels like I'm doing more harm than good and who wants to feel resentful toward a workout, amiright?
Those are just some highlights, but my general take away from all of this is empowerment. I'm empowered by the fact that my mindfulness and body awareness is not just a sham. I'm empowered by the knowledge provided by this test. And finally, I'm empowered by the fact that I now have a resource that I can return to.
So, of course, I highly recommend this. Check them out! And check in with my instagram (@feelthis___) and the blog for when I start offering a discount to my clients and followers. Cheers to knowing yourself better!

By PPSIMMONS News staff
Surprising and exclusive insight into Carl Gallups and WND Book's newest project. Soon to be released.
In an exclusive interview with PPSIMMONS News, Pastor Carl Gallups (founder of PPSIMMONS), and #1 best selling author of THE MAGIC MAN IN THE SKY (WND Books - Washington D.C.) says that his brand new book and movie project with WND Books and WND Films is scheduled to be released within 8-10 weeks.
Gallups said, "The scheduled release date for the book, and the documentary movie about the book's topic, is November 4, 2013. That date could change, but for right now it seems to be a solid release date.
When asked what he could tell us about this exciting new project, Carl had this to say - "I can not yet release the title or the exact subject matter. Hopefully we can do that soon, though. I can say that the book manuscript is complete, edited, and being type-set now. I can also tell you that I have already done some of the filming with WND Films for the documentary. Some filming was done at Jonathan Cahn's (NYT best selling author of THE HARBINGER) congregational facilities and at his home just outside Newark, New Jersey, and more filming is scheduled in Washington D.C. and at other locations. I can also tell you that the book and movie is about a monumental and prophetic event that occurred several years back that still has huge ramifications today. The story's epicenter is in Israel and the Middle East - yet it impacts the U.S. and the entire world. The story is a true one - and it is still unfolding."
Carl went on to say, "The sensational event, the story of my book, still reverberates in the Christian, Jewish, and even the Muslim faiths. The book is written from a journalist standpoint with plenty of story telling and intrigue that pulls you along through the book. Dr. David Reagan of Lion & Lamb Ministries and Christ in Prophecy Television has written the Foreword for the book. Dr. Reagan describes the book in this way, 'This book is completely different from his first one (The Magic Man In The Sky). It reads more like a mystery novel. Carl was a police officer for ten years before he entered the ministry, and his training as an investigator clearly shows up in this book as he applies investigative techniques to analyze one of the most explosive events in the ...' I am absolutely honored that such a respected man and Christian media mogul has agreed to be an important part of this work."
We asked Carl about other key people included in this book and movie project and he told us, " I have already mentioned Jonathan Cahn and Dr. David Reagan. Dr. Tim LeHaye, Joel Richardson, I.Q. Al Rassooli, and several other well known names are also involved. WND Books is extremely excited about this project - as am I. They think this is going to be a very big thing with great potential to reach around the globe with its story and its message."
Gallups added, "The book is not preachy at all. It tells the story of a real event and how that event still dynamically relates to certain world and religious affairs. However, the Gospel message is clearly presented and portrayed. One cannot come away from the book without a clear understanding of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Interestingly, no one has yet to write a book about this fascinating and important topic. Well, we did now! November can't get here quick enough!"

One of the reasons I love Sons of Anarchy so much is the bond the cast have with their characters. Charlie Hunnam is especially close to his character, Jackson Teller.
Speaking to Sioux City Journal, Hunnam explains that he relates to Jax because he's also from an outlaw family...
I love the guy. I always kind of felt I knew him from the very beginning. I grew up with a lot of outlaws. My father and all of his pals were all guys who operated on the other side of the law. I felt a very close connection to Jax right from the beginning. I'm going to miss him terribly.
Let's hope 'miss him terribly' just means the end of the series, not the end of Jax! Anything could happen in Season 7...
Hunnam is so into the outlaw brotherhood that he even holds to the SAMCRO code:
I've never called the police and I never will...for any reason. If I have a problem, I'm going to handle it myself. Most people would say that that was kind of outlaw. But that was just the way I was raised. I don't break the law or do anything illegal. I just grew up being told that men should stand on their own two feet.
We're lucky to have a guy like Charlie Hunnam play Jax - the young kid turned leader, the good guy who has to do bad things - Jax is the heart and soul of Sons of Anarchy.
What will you do if Jax dies in Season 7 of Sons of Anarchy?

Murphy and McEvoy stepping into big shoes
FOR Flat jockeys, the dream ticket is a retainer with Godolphin. Over jumps, the equivalent is to ride for David Johnson. Yesterday, while a confident Australian consolidated his role as stand-in for Frankie Dettori in the former position, a quiet, complex Irishman prepared for the daunting assignment of succeeding Tony McCoy in the latter.
Timmy Murphy has been in line for McCoy's job ever since Richard Johnson turned it down and the one minor surprise yesterday was that the deal was done not by Martin Pipe but his principal patron. With 60 horses in training, David Johnson was disinclined to muddle through without a retained rider.
"Martin said he was happy to wait for three months if necessary but I wasn't prepared to do that,"…

They don't have a name, not yet. Bolin has been campaigning strongly for Bolin Jr. ("What if it's a girl?" "Bolin Jr. still works! It's too perfect of a name to deny a little girl!"), but of course Korra is not one to allow such a travesty upon anyone, least of all their unborn child.
She gets up before him, as usual, padding along to the kitchen with bare feet, one dark hand circling her belly. She sits at the table, tipping back in her chair, peeling a red orange with her fingers, looking up every so often at him (Bo, you lazy pants, get up).
Korra lends even these domestic tasks a kind of quiet holiness that has only increased with her pregnancy. She is a pathway between the home of ruddy humanity and the tenuous spirit world, a creature of both dream and duty; it makes sense that her movements and touch should have such a pure quality to them. There is a definite sense of wonder about her, as simple and significant as a quick brush of air or the flash of a returning sun. Bolin has become good at recognizing this—he watches her in the same reverent way that he'd watch the daybreak on the streets as a boy. The Avatar's job is to care for the world; Bolin's job is to care for the Avatar, and he assumes this role gratefully.
Now that she carries a child, she has become more rooted to mortal concern and worry, and she seems content to spend hours with him, fussing over names and colors for the baby's clothing (Bolin, much to her amusement, has taken up knitting tiny sweaters). Their time together has become more meaningful for the common objective and future they share. For his part, Bolin adores the side of her that has appeared in recent months, the soft and gentle bit of her that coos at their child, that presses his hand to her belly and cries "right there, did you feel the kick?"
Bolin rolls out of bed lazily and takes the seat next to Korra, sneaking an orange piece from her hand and popping it into his mouth. She pinches him in a mock reprimand.
"Hey! You glutton, get your own."
Bolin grins. He kisses her cheek, lingering a little; she smells like citrus and nutmeg. "Good morning. And good morning to you, Bolin Jr."
He waits for her answering laugh, her shut up, we're never, ever calling our baby that. But she has gone quiet, a behavior rare enough in Korra that it instantly sobers him. Bolin waits for her to talk, deciding that she must have something on her mind, knowing not to rush her.
"Hey Bo, listen. I'm going to visit the airbender colony tomorrow."
Bolin's eyes widen. He struggles to keep his expression under control, with limited success, but he is privately horrified. "Are you sure, Korra? Isn't the baby due soon?"
"It'll be alright. I'll only be there a few days. I have to do this, Bolin. There's been some kind of natural disaster, and Tenzin is worried sick. They've just started out, and they are all on their own. It's Tenzin's whole culture, you know. I can't not help."
"Korra, I don't know. It's not a good idea."
"I can't leave them hanging, not when they need me. You know that."
"But you're pregnant, and it's just too close to—"
"Bo," she says, her tone soft, but inviting no possibility of disagreement, "being the Avatar isn't just a job I can skip when I feel like it. It's important that I do this."
"I know. I know that."
"It's just a few days. I'll be fine! You trust me, don't you?"
She looks at him expectantly; asking for his trust is tantamount to a declaration of love from her. It is not something he can pass off with a distracting drift of his fingertips or a few sweet nothings, as he would do in other circumstances. Bolin places both hands on her shoulders, wishing he could keep her still, that he could always be assured of her safety. But he knows that Korra belongs to the world first, and to him second. He kisses her neck, murmuring stay safe against her skin, hoping to bless her, somehow, to safeguard her from all the dangers he has no hold over.
"Yes. I trust you."
But though young lovers will always believe so, faith is not enough, because Korra doesn't come back. What began as a few days turns into a week, two weeks. Bolin lies awake in their bed, filled with awful frustration that inhabits the depths of his bones and gut. He reconstructs his memories of her—Korra laughing at his jokes, even when they were terrible to the point of absurdity, Korra waking him up during a nightmare and holding him until he fell asleep, Korra on a summer night, in that dress borrowed from Asami, looking so sheepish and unaware of the radius of her charm, affecting every man in the vicinity with a rapid and stunning case of infatuation.
He remembers a similar period during his sixteenth year, when Korra had been taken away in the dead of night, and he had been stuck in a cell, armed with only futile hands and rotting thoughts of her dead eyes and heart. But back then he shared the burden of her care with others more skilled than he, and his youthful optimism left no room for doubt. Now he can only think of her and their baby, alone and stranded. All that keeps him alive is that look in her eyes he knows so well (I will come home, Bolin), and the assurance that no determination is stronger than hers. Please come through for me just one more time, Korra.

From John Ryan at Vigne:
Because the 4th is on a Friday this year we are pushing the wine club wine tasting to next weekend, the 10th -12th . This evening andSaturday, from 6:00-8:00pm our wine tasting has been selected especially for the holiday weekend. For just $8 you can taste Arche, Ryan's RED, a WHITE from Airlie, BLUE moon riesling plusCANNONBALL!!!

Street and Parking lot reconstruction will continue through December. This week they have shut down the parking lot closest to Wells Fargo. As an alternative the city has striped the lot by the old tax office between Oak and McKinney by Oakland St. This lot is only 1-1/2 blocks from Vigne and generally does not fill up until late in the evening.
We have made several changes to our "by the glass" list, several new ports and our First Class Flight is now three great Cabernets.
When Hoochie's opens (mid-July) they will be an addition to our list of local restaurants that deliver to Vigne. Currently Andaman, Mellow Mushroom and Rusty Taco deliver. Gold Mine BBQ has minimum order to delivery. We also have menus from Queenie's and Rooster's both of whom currently only do "pickup" orders, but we are working on them.
Be sure and like us on Facebook. We post our weekend tastings on Facebook ever week but try to limit ourselves to not more than two emails a month.
The basics:
With 29 wines and ports available by the glass (33-35 Thursday through Saturday) and 8 to 10 wine and port flights, we have something for everyone's taste, and ranging from $4 to $22 something for everyone's pocketbook. For the beer drinkers in your group we have 4 on tap and 7 bottle selections.
Our "Last Bottle Sale", discounts 20-50% off, has sold out but we will be picking several selections to start it back up next week.
Every day we feature a "Wine of the day" which is happy hour price all day.
Happy Hour- from 4-6pm Tuesday – Friday and Saturday 1-6, half price "call" beer and "by the glass" wines and wine flights plus "to go" pricing on dine in bottle wines.
