Footprints in the Sand
Any true spiritual insight or realisation leaves no trace in the memory. This is because the quality of the spirit is timeless and can only be realised in the immediacy of the present. What happens is that when people try to hold onto their inner revelations, the purity of spirit is degraded and creates a track of past within the psyche like footprints in the sand.
People love to talk about what happened yesterday, on their holidays, and even what they had for dinner last night. This creates a psychological dependency on the past to provide security for their personality to function in the world. The personality is the face of the self in the world. When someone becomes serious in living their truth, the hold of the personality weakens in the light of diminishing ignorance.
The man or woman begins to emanate a new authenticity through being more conscious and present in their body. Activities once eagerly pursued fail to give the same satisfaction as before. Friends tend to fall away because the personality of the individual is no longer prevalent, which can be both challenging and bewildering to others still attached to the past and the need for emotional stimulation.
Every setback and difficulty encountered which causes emotional pain and suffering is a preparation for a deeper realisation of truth and a step closer to reality. This reality is God which, to our sensory perception of the objective universe, is nothing. When a lover leaves unexpectedly or when hearing the news of the sudden death of someone, the reaction to the discontinuity of life is a state of shock. The spiritual process is the preparation to consciously enter this void, which without right catharsis would instantly obliterate the person and bring about a state of madness.
The motivation of the world is the acquisition of material possessions and the pleasure of sensual experience. We're taught to revere success and praised for being ambitious and hard-working citizens. There's a place for such aspirations; but underneath the scramble for worldly recognition is the attachment to achievements and the fear of loss of what's been gained. To realise God an individual cannot be engaged in gathering experience by driving into the world as before. He or she continues to participate in the activities of ordinary living, but without the attachment to any expectations of the world to affirm their sense of existence.
The footprints in the sand are eroded through the waves of consciousness. One by one the indents of past experience are retraced and purified in each living sequence of the life's journey. These lead all the way back to the womb and beyond to the moment of eternity. This is the moment of God when all is lost and there in the reflection of inner space 'I am'.
What happens next? There is nothing to perceive, not even the footprints in the sand. And yet something extraordinary remains. This is freedom, the pure knowledge of reality or God, but without knowing or need for reference to the past. The footprints were the path on the journey back through life to the beginning which has no end.

As a rule, you should maintain your air conditioner each year in the spring or early summer months. As the weather begins to warm up, you will rely on your air conditioner to keep your home or business cool and comfortable. If your air conditioner is running inefficiently, or it breaks down, it could leave your home humid. Furthermore, a broken or inefficient AC unit may contribute to poor indoor air quality, which could lead to respiratory conditions, such as allergies and asthma. That is why we provide air conditioning maintenance to help your system function properly when you need it the most.
Routine air conditioner system maintenance provides many benefits:
- It can help you save money on energy bills. A clogged, dirty, or leaking air conditioner will not effectively cool your home. When the weather heats up, your air conditioner will have to work harder and longer to keep you comfortable. This will lead to high energy bills. By inspecting and maintaining your air conditioner in the early summer, you can save money in the long run.
- It will help you avoid expensive repairs. Over time, your air conditioner can become worn down. Performing routine maintenance can help ensure the system is functioning correctly. Our technicians will fix any minor issues so they don't turn into major ones.
- It will work more efficiently. An inefficient air conditioner may cause some rooms to be chilly while others are warm and humid. Furthermore, the air conditioner may be unable to block harmful particles from the outdoors, which may cause poor indoor air quality. Having a properly functioning air conditioning system is key to enjoying a cool, comfortable, and clean indoor environment.
- It will help the system last longer. On average, air conditioning units last around 10-15 years. However, with proper maintenance, you can extend the lifespan of your system. This means you won't have to replace it as often, and it will run smoothly all year round.
What Our AC Maintenance Services Involve
Our air conditioner tune-up process includes calibrating the indoor thermostat, cleaning the condenser coils, replacing the blower belt, cleaning clogged ducts, lubricating moving parts, and measuring coolant levels. Our Raleigh air conditioning NATE certified technicians will conduct a detailed inspect of your system to identify any issues. We will then repair necessary components and clean the system to ensure it is functioning efficiently.
Our Air Conditioning Tune-Up Services Can Provide a Solution
At R & S Mechanical, we are dedicated to your satisfaction. Our technicians are fully trained and have the tools to repair, replace, and maintain air conditioning systems. If you want to prepare your air conditioner for summer, we can provide a cost-effective solution. Our maintenance technicians will ensure your air conditioner is functional, durable, and energy efficient.
For all your air conditioner maintenance needs, trust us to get the job done right the first time! Contact our office today to schedule a service.

With Easter just around the corner, it's time to start planning how you're going to celebrate. Whether it's consuming as much chocolate as humanly possible or heading to your local farm park to see the baby animals, there are a plethora of Easter activities on offer. However, there's one tradition that simply can't be broken - and that's the Easter egg hunt!
To celebrate the season of Eastertide, we've rounded up some of Britain's best Easter egg hunts and trails. So whether you're looking for some light family fun over the school holidays, or you're taking on the challenge of finding the most eggs - at any cost - there's something for everyone.
The Peter Rabbit Treasure Trail, Cumbria
Where better to look for the Easter Bunny's eggs than the home of Peter Rabbit? On Wednesday 12th April, North England's biggest Easter egg hunt will return to the Lake District for another year. With 100 ceramic Easter eggs hidden across the region, entrants must use their smartphone and car to navigate across Cumbria - finding as many eggs as possible. Find one egg and you'll get free family entry into The World of Beatrix Potter attraction in Bowness-on-Windermere. Find multiple eggs and you could be in with a chance of winning some fantastic top prizes!
Fancy joining in the fun? Make sure you register online prior to the event. You'll be sent a secret link to the interactive treasure trail map at 10AM on the morning of the event, so make sure your smartphone's charged, you've got a 3G signal and petrol in the tank, raring to go!
Don't worry, if you're looking for something a little less challenging, The World of Beatrix Potter will also be hosting a mini easter egg hunt on Easter Sunday and Monday. Kids will love hunting for eggs amongst the greenery in the Peter Rabbit-themed garden, with fun stickers and sweet treats for all.
The World of Beatrix Potter is just a hop, skip and jump away from our holiday parks in the Lake District, so why not make the most of the school holidays and book an egg-citing Easter break?

Kids can hunt for chocolate treats and explore the park on their Easter trail.

Easter Eggsplorer Trail at Fort George, Inverness

Built in the middle of the 18th Century as a defence against the Jacobites, it's one of the most impressive fortifications of its kind in the UK.
Between Good Friday and Easter Monday (Friday 14th - Monday 17th April), Fort George will be hosting its very own Easter egg hunt. You and the kids can follow the Easter Eggsplorer Trail, hunting for clues as you navigate your way around the fort's extensive grounds and barracks. The hunt is included in the standard entry price and no booking is required, so you can drop in for some Easter-themed fun at your leisure.
Don't forget to keep your eyes peeled for the Moray Firth's famous dolphins. The fort's extensive ramparts, running over 1km around the perimeter, provide the perfect vantage point to spot the local population of bottlenose dolphins jumping amongst the waves.

Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Aunt Rose
It all started with my desire to give a special Christmas gift to my niece and nephew, who are two and four respectively. I saw the ad for the Hallmark recording storybook "The Night Before Christmas" and instantly knew this was a great idea. Due to circumstances I had been unable to travel to visit them in person. Aunt Rose was simply a voice on the phone or perhaps a photograph. But with the storybook their Aunt Rose could read them her much loved Christmas classic from 1823 at bedtime, and perhaps they could have wonderful dreams filled with promises of Santa's visit on Christmas Eve.

Tenderfeet is a school that seeks to help children grow in every aspect of their lives.
One area that has always been a focus is helping children learn and practice life skills. For instance, children are taught about personal hygiene, such as brushing teeth, staying clean, and avoiding germs.
Since many of the children don't have access to toothbrushes at home, the kids brush their teeth at school using toothbrushes donated by visitors and purchased through donations The children learn the proper way to brush their teeth as well as actually brushing their teeth every day they are at school. Other areas of personal care are also covered.
Some children from the most challenging backgrounds come to school with lice, chiggers, and other parasites. These kids are treated at school and their guardians are informed how to do a better job dealing with these issues.
Malaria is a problem throughout Kenya, most Tenderfeet kids have suffered one or more bouts with it themselves. To assist with this, fundraisers have been held to purchase mosquito-proof bed nets for all the children. With the bed nets, students are much less likely to get malaria.
Since most children that attend Tenderfeet come from desperate poverty, they are more likely to need additional help and care with basic needs. Tenderfeet teachers love and care for these vulnerable students and nurture them to grow up strong despite the challenges these children face.

Sicily Tourist Information
Sicily Airports
Sicily's two principal cities are Palermo (the regional capital), in the east, and Catania in the west, and each has an airport.
Palermo Airport (PMO)
Palermo Airport is the most convenient Sicily airport for UK budget travellers, as Ryanair run low-cost flights from London Stansted. Most flights, though are to/from other Italian destinations, including the holiday islands of Lampedusa and Pantelleria. The airport is named Aeroporto Falcone Borsellino (after two anti-Mafia investigators assassinated in 1992), and is located at Punta Raisa, about 30km from the city. Half-hourly buses run from the airport into Palermo, to Stazione Centrale. Less frequent buses run to Agrigento (two per day) and to Trapani (one per day). The airport's official website (see panel on the right) has useful bus timetable info.
Catania Airport (CTA)
Fontanarossa Airport is only 5km from Catania. A bus service (Alibus) connects the airport with the town's Via Etnea and Stazione Centrale every twenty minutes. There are also direct services from the airport to other Sicilian destinations, such as Taormina and Siracusa (these connections are run by Interbus, and timetable information can be found via their website, listed on the right. Select 'Aeroporto Catania' from the drop-down menu when searching for timetables).
Other travel options
If you are travelling to Sicily from other parts of Italy, you can choose from trains and ferries as well as air travel. Flights connect Sicily with most of the major Italian cities. For more on trains, ferries and travel within Sicily, see the Transport section.

by Elizabeth Shogren, High Country News
Originally published by High Country News April 14, 2015, and republished here with permissions — Ed
The Environmental Protection Agency last month issued revised permits for oil companies to dump literally rivers of wastewater—including hydraulic fracturing fluids—on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming.
When the companies pump oil, water from deep in the earth comes up too. This water can include naturally occurring substances, such as metals, that can pollute streams. It can also include toxic chemicals the companies injected into the wells during hydrofracturing to make the oil flow better. Under these EPA permits, the companies release water onto the dry ground in quantities large enough to create permanent streams. Some flow for long distances on the arid reservation and join the Wind River and Little Wind River.
Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, an environmental watchdog group, plans to appeal the five permits this week, arguing that they are illegal because they do not set limits for many of the chemicals the companies inject in the wells or require adequate monitoring of pollutants.
"Against all reason, EPA is refusing to regulate fracking fluids even after they flow back to the surface and are pumped into streams," Jeff Ruch, PEER's executive director, said in a statement announcing the appeal.
Some of the chemicals the companies have told the EPA they are adding to the wells, or that have been found in the wastewater, include benzene, arsenic and hydrogen sulfide. These chemicals are known to or likely to cause cancer or other serious effects when consumed or breathed in at high enough concentrations. The remote streams of wastewater are used by livestock and wildlife, but not by people as drinking water, creating a regulatory loophole.
I first learned about the loophole, which the EPA uses to issue National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permits, when I worked for NPR. I reported two stories based on a visit to several oilfields on the reservation and documents obtained from the EPA with two separate Freedom of Information Act requests.
When the EPA was banning oil companies from dumping their wastewater decades ago, ranchers, especially in Wyoming, argued that livestock needed the water. So in 1979, the EPA made an exception for the arid West: If oil companies demonstrated that livestock or wildlife use the water, the companies could release it, literally creating streams of noxious water that are barely regulated.
Environmental scientists criticized the EPA for allowing the releases. That's because modern drilling techniques can require a lot of chemicals that flow out of wells during the production process.
Legal scholars say the EPA's loophole raises questions of environmental justice, because states do in fact regulate such releases when they are not on reservations, and their rules appear stricter.
"It's completely nonsensical that the discharges allowed on the reservation would not be allowed off the reservation," said Hillary Hoffmann, a professor at Vermont Law School who has been researching this loophole in recent years and plans to publish a paper on it this summer. "They've drawn this random line that is in no way protective of human health and the environment."
However, in its comments the EPA disagrees, saying "the permits drafted by EPA are as, or more, stringent in controlling specific pollutants as similar permits issued by the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality."
The newly revised permits tighten limits for some contaminants in the wastewater and include limits for a couple more chemicals than in previous permits. One of the five permits, for example sets seven "effluent limitations" and prohibits foam or solids on the water except in trace amounts. The revised permits also require these companies to test the water to see if small fish or aquatic insects die when exposed to it, and to send the EPA an inventory of chemicals they inject down the wells.
But legal scholars and environmentalists criticized the EPA for not requiring prior public disclosure of hundreds of chemicals and other ingredients that the companies might use in hydraulic fracturing fluids. Neither do they require testing for them.
"It looks like what they're testing for is what they accidentally found in the water," Hoffmann said. "But the problem is there might be 450 others that they're slipping in the waste stream."
In responses to public comments, the EPA conceded that it set the new permit requirements without knowing what chemicals companies are injecting.
"EPA did not have sufficient information on quantities and concentrations of chemical substances either provided by the permittee or available from publicly available information sources (e.g., websites such as FracFocus), to assess whether any of the pollutants potentially present in the well treatment fluids … will cause toxicity in the produced water discharge," EPA said in a document released with the permits.
Under new chemical inventory requirements in these revised permits, the EPA will know more in the future.
PEER, however, said it is worried that these permits could open the door for more lax regulations elsewhere. Last year the group petitioned the EPA to prohibit companies from releasing wastewater that includes hydraulic fracturing fluids. The EPA has not responded.
"[T]his water is utterly unfit for human or animal consumption, and exposure to it can cause severe health problems and, in some cases, even result in death," PEER said in its petition to the EPA. "EPA must rectify its position and take action to prevent the further discharge of these dangerous chemicals."
Hoffmann, who is both an expert in Indian law and natural resources law, said the EPA was abdicating its responsibility under the federal trust doctrine. "They're creating a loophole that allows discharges to happen without any disclosure to the tribes about what they're getting," she said, "which I think is pretty scary."

Collecting and disposing of waste in the Borough responsibly and sustainably is an important part of making sure we all enjoy a good quality of life. It includes a careful mix of recycling and re-using, and disposing of what's left to Energy Recovery.

Our current recycling and composting rate is more than 32% a month – one of the highest rates in Hampshire. In this part of the website, you can find out more about collection, recycling, re-using and disposal.
You get a collection every week, alternating between recycling and refuse. Find out your collection dates here.

In this section, you can find out how you can do that and what we're doing to help. It includes handy tips, collection dates, what happens when items are recycled and how we are doing.

KARACHI: At least 708 boys and girls fell prey to forced and early marriages in Pakistan in the year 2013, which included 264 such cases in Punjab, 199 in Sindh, 143 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and 102 cases in Balochistan, said the founder of Madadgaar Helpline, Zia Ahmed Awan at a roundtable conference titled, 'Addressing Gender Base Violence: Focusing on early and forced marriages in Pakistan', at Madadgaar Helpline office on Friday.
Awan said that 684 cases of forced and early marriages were reported in 2012. Around 276 forced marriage cases were reported in 2012, which increased up to 284 in the year 2013. He said these were the cases reported in media but the exact figures would be far more than this. Awan highlighted national and international laws that forbid parents and couples to get married before they attain the age of 18 years. Pakistan is signatory to the international charters that forbid it.

Germany is to become the first country outside the US to benefit from Facebook's crackdown on fake news as the social media group tries to control the proliferation of media hoaxes ahead of elections in the country this year.德国将沦为美国以外首个获益于Facebook压制假新闻希望的国家。这家社交媒体集团正试图在今年该国举办议会选举之前遏止媒体骗局的蔓延。The world's largest social network is bringing its test of fake-news filtering tools to Germany in the coming weeks after the spread of false stories such as one claiming Germany's oldest church was set on fire by a mob of 1,000 people.世界仅次于社交网络将在未来几周内将其假新闻过滤器工具引入德国。此前德国曾多次流传一些耸人听闻的欺诈报导,比如声称该国最古老的教堂被1000名暴徒烧毁。
German users of the social network will now be able to report a story as fake and it will be sent to Correctiv, a third-party fact checker. If the fact checker discovers it is fake, the story will be flagged as "disputed", with an explanation. Disputed stories will not be prioritised by the news feed algorithm and people will receive a warning if they decide to share it.该社交网络的德国用户现在将需要检举一个故事为假新闻,涉及故事将被发送至第三方事实核查机构Correctiv。如果事实核查机构找到它显然是假新闻,涉及故事将被标记为"有争议",并附带一个说明。有争议的故事会获得新闻启动时算法的优先处置,而要求共享它的人们将收到一个预警。Facebook said it had been in discussions with German media and publishing groups and was working to get more partners on board. "Our focus is on Germany right now but we're certainly thinking through what countries will unveil next," he said.Facebook的一名发言人回应,该公司在与德国媒体和出版发行集团展开辩论,正在努力争取更加多合作伙伴重新加入。
"我们现在注目的是德国,但我们认同不会思维接下来要在各国发售什么机制,"他说道。The German government has been concerned that its elections could be influenced by the spread of fake news and the hacking of political campaigns, after false stories such as the Pope endorsing president-elect Donald Trump spread rapidly during the US elections and a recent US intelligence report found Russia intended to influence the election by hacking the Democratic National Committee.德国政府担忧的是,该国的议会选举有可能受到假消息传播和黑客攻击政治竞选团队的影响,此前在美国议会选举期间,诸如教皇反对唐纳德?特朗普(Donald Trump)被选为总统之类的欺诈报导很快蔓延到,而美国情报机构最近公布的一份报告找到,俄罗斯曾意图通过对民主党全国委员会(DNC)发动黑客攻击来影响议会选举。

That's it. We're done. Martyrs and The Devils Candy were in exceptionally quick succession and it's all over. So the big question is, is the Martyrs remake worth it? Unequivocally not. Want extreme French cinema? Watch the original. Want to be shocked, appalled and have your day ruined? Watch the original.
However, I can't see a situation in which anyone actively says they want to watch Martyrs but if they did and wanted to see a Blumhouse-ified version then it's possible to do a lot worse than this. It's not badly made. It's not poorly acted. It just IS. Yet even looking at it objectively, this is a movie that's constantly wearing another skin and badly - ironically. Like a loose fitting Leatherface, the Americanisation is glossy but you can't iron over the fact that this is the kind of cinema that's meant to hurt. There's a piece missing. It's still stressful, don't get me wrong but there's been changes made here to suit certain palettes so there was some serious booing when the movie finished.
The Devil's Candy on the other hand has far more to smile about. If you smile about psychopaths, devil whispers and child murder that is - don't worry it's ok if the answer is yes in a fictional setting. Six years since director Sean Byrne's The Loved Ones and he's back with this tale of blood and paint.
A family move into a new home which they've managed to get for a steal due to a small case of the last lot being shipped out in body bags. Hey, it happens. Grim duly ensues when artist dad Jesse starts hearing whispers and painting dead children. Things only get worse when daughter Zooey becomes the fixation of a lunatic. It's all pretty good fun and the horror is plenty nasty enough with a smattering of knowing jokes. Plus, a snappy script means the family relationships are thoroughly enjoyable even when no one is being threatened with a saw.
As for me. I'm more than a little rough around the edges. I feel slightly sick and there's a definite hint of paranoia. I jumped at a shadow and a loud noise earlier. All in all though. I'd say this has been a success. Enough blood, guts and compound fractures for one weekend.
I'll leave you with a final graph of my experience with Martyrs. It looks like I almost die at one point. Sweet dreams and thanks for reading.
Update: 9:00pm (DAY TWO)
New average heart rate: 84bpm
Mental state: Rapidly deteriorating
Coffees: 5
I want to sit in a room with magnolia walls and just rock myself gently. Or maybe go to Ikea and just wander in circles for hours. How do I fix this? Baskin was intense. Beautifully, painfully, horrendously intense. Litres of gore, swathes of blood stained hell spawn, blades meeting flesh and all as five members of the Turkish police investigate a call for back up in the middle of nowhere. Their descent into hell is extraordinary and I honestly think I can't really process it yet.
I think recommend is a strong word for what I would do with this movie. But you need to see it. And soon. Just don't attempt a ham and cheese sandwich at the same time. Believe me. I know. Nope, not Magic Stars either.
Two more to go. My legs hurt. My feet are asleep and my eyes feel like they've been stretched slightly too wide. The Ludovico technique's got nothing on me.
Update: 7:00pm (DAY TWO)
New average heart rate: 85bpm
Creepy ghost children: 1
Coffees: 4
Horror movies have set rules. Not just Scream never say 'I'll be right back' rules, but ones that must be broken. Don't feed Mogwai after midnight is a good one. Don't read that book in The Evil Dead is also wise. Then there's The Other Side Of The Door where the very simple rule dictates that when your son is killed in a tragic accident, don't open the door of the Indian temple you've gone to speak to his spirit. It's the only rule really. When Maria breaks it, she brings more home than she bargains for. Spoiler - that monster above isn't just playing peek a boo.
There's plenty of Japanese horror influences at work here - swathes of gaping mouths and pounding hands on windows - and the result is largely positive. The Indian setting is beautiful and Mumbai is incredibly chaotic and atmospheric. Maria's daughter manages to live in the not irritating child zone and when things start to get darker, she acts the creepy child just right. Nothing too terrifying as you can see from my monitor below.
The movies are beginning to blend a bit, but I'm keeping hydrated and cracking out another coffee in a sec. The end is in sight. And my heartbeat is still in reasonable condition. I've been told this won't last for Baskin.
Update: 4:30pm (DAY TWO)
New average heart rate: 84bpm
Compound fractures: 456
Coffees: 4
Pins and needles in both legs: Present
Broken bones, burst skulls and kicks hard enough to send people flying out of windows, SPL 2: A Time For Consequences is a jawdropping example of Hong Kong action cinema. It's also further proof that mobile phones are doing interesting things to movies as an entire sequence is made up of a man trying to find reception. Dress it as you will - in a prison with spectacular martial arts - it's still a human being trying to get signal. Further proof is the language barrier being traversed with an app and a full conversation about a child dying of leukemia in emojis. As insane as it was, the action sequences were incredible and it was a nice break from the tension.
Other Side Of The Door coming next and apologies but I feel like my brain might be dribbling out of my ears slightly. 9 down. 4 to go. Thanks for joining me.
Update: 2pm (DAY TWO)
New average heart rate: 81bpm
Body count: 10
Coffees: 3 this morning
I said I was ready for the gore. I lied. I just wasn't ready for a man to manually compress a lung while it was still inside a gasping girl who had been in a catastrophic car accident. Southbound is a sandy horror anthology that cleverly joins the dots between various horrific goings on in the middle of nowhere USA. It reminded me of Trick R' Treat as it effortless travelled from nasty to nasty and yes, I had to look away at one point.
Demons, compound fractures, bear traps, you name it, it's all here and all accompanied by a filthy synth soundtrack. Squirmy for all the right reasons, Southbound really impressed me. Only one tale let me down and that's potentially my dislike of home invasion scary mask combos. Even if you change the masks, it's still the same. We've been recreating it in the office with Vault Boy masks... Other than that, this is a horrific breath of fresh air.
It's started to hit me that I'm not getting a happily ever after for a long time. There's a lot of blood to go. A lot of misery and murder. I've got 9 minutes until SPL-2. Baskin and Martyrs lie ahead. I'm going to have to watch a hell of a lot of cartoons to recover from this. Oh, and before you think someone attacked me at the start, I was rushing back into my seat. Sorry Southbound, no 124bpm for you.
Update: 12pm (DAY TWO)
New average heart rate: 91bpm
Body count: The majority of a Norwegian tourist town called Geiranger
Coffees: 3 this morning
Watching an 80m tsunami is definitely a wake up call and The Wave - with a leading man I can only say is the Norwegian equivalent of Norman Reedus - is probably one of the best disaster movies I've seen in years. It's probably easier to use the below graph, which looks a bit like the seismic activity in the movie that causes the landslide, as an indicator.
Yep, we have a new record breaking average of 91bpm. Looks like beautifully shot vistas, characters you actually care about and a bloody enormous force of nature sweeping down a valley and into a town will have an effect on the old ticker. It trailed slightly in its final fifteen minutes but as nature destroying humanity goes, it doesn't get much better than this.
Bring on Southbound. I'm ready for gore again.
Update: 9:15am
Hours slept: 5hrs 46
Body count: None so far
Coffees: 2 already this morning
Good morning from (actually sunny) Glasgow. I'm about to go and pick up supplies - cold coffees - for day two in Glasgow's GFT. Yesterday was quite the day of horror cinema. The body count rocketed and there were organs everywhere. Quite the mess for staff to clean up.
It was a strong day but Patchwork and The Mind's Eye absolutely stole the show for me. We deserve horror that makes us wince, ups our heart rate, and, most importantly, makes us laugh. I haven't asked anyone yet but I've decided GamesRadar+ officially recommends Patchwork to the world.
So today's first film is disasterpiece The Wave. It was last year's most successful movie in Norway - that's a good sign, have you seen Troll Hunter? - and the country's official submission for the 2016 Best Foreign Language Oscar. Right. Breakfast pre tsunami, see you on the other side.
Update: 1:50am
New average heart rate: 74 bpm
Body count: Does it count if they come back to life?
Coffees: 2 and oh God let me sleep
Ok, I admit, I've been to Frightfests before and the final film can be a bit, well, off. Like One Eyed Monster which is exactly what is sounds like - a movie about a porn star's disembodied penis killing people. It does have Amber Benson in it though. There's some random Buffy trivia for you. But I digress. I take it back. Tonight's final film, Patchwork, was fantastic in ways I can't even properly describe at 1am.
It's beautifully high concept. Three girls wake up in a laboratory inside the one body. Yep. That's it. They've been Frankensteined together to make one human form but they're all still in there mentally. But don't worry, this is no Human Centipede. Patchwork manages to be gory, smart, funny and even, somehow, ridiculously sweet amongst all the staples and creaking bones. Because it turns out walking in a body with three people means things crack...
The three leads are fantastic in their lone body - and out of it when thankfully we get to see the internal workings of their mind using all three actresses - and there's a joyous celebration to be found in their quest for vengeance on the man who created the monster they've become. Another synth soundtrack has made my night and there's a fantastic opening credits sequence that sets the dark tone between comedy and horror just right. I can't tell you enough that you should all see this insane mad scientist caper and laugh until your fingers fall off. Oh, and Fred Weasley is in It. Or maybe it's George. Oh God. A Weasley twin.
If we look at the graph for a second before I pass out, you can see I'm getting sleepy. There's a couple of spikes but they're probably a nice combo of great soundtrack and fun moment. Want no jumps, just smart but simultaneously incredibly stupid horror? This. All of this.
Now I need to sleep. See you at 10am for The Wave and we can do all of this again tomorrow. 'Night.
Update: 11:15pm
New average heart rate: 80bpm
Body count: 12
Coffees: 2
Discomfort level: 9 stars out of 18
Holy shit. Do you know what the world needs more of? Movies where people blow each other's heads up with telekinesis, tear bodies apart, have blood pour from eyeballs and have evil bearded men repeatedly inject mind control DNA into themselves.
Joe Begas The Mind's Eye has a score worthy of Carpenter himself and I can still see the neons seared into my eyes. Incredible synths, violence that probably hit that 92bpm mark on my graph as we all whooped and cheered, and an utterly unrelenting sense of seriously gory fun.
Begas shot the film in seven weeks with no big studio support and I can't tell you enough how big and brilliantly fucking stupid it is. It's looking like the end of summer for a UK release with US unconfirmed as yet. Hunt this down. It's about mind control. And EXPLODING ORGANS.
One more movie to go. My legs hurt. My eyes are doing interesting things but that was worth sitting in this chair since 1:30pm this afternoon. Patchwork next. Day one is almost done. Did I mention the exploding organs? Not mine. Yet.
Update: 8:30pm
New average heart rate: 83bpm
Body count: A global pandemic (ooops)
Coffees: 2
It didn't take long until we descended into exploding eyeballs, battered skulls, skewered necks and first person views of zombies slitting open your chest and yanking out your innards. Mmm. I'm hungry. No really, those cereal bars were ages ago.
Pandemic is first person survival horror game: the movie, and for the most part it's pretty good inoffensive fun. The first person perspective - Go Pros on the helmets of those trying to save the last few humans in Los Angeles - is a gimmick, but thankfully nausea free and there was plenty of big stupid up close skewering sequences. Plus, there's a bonus Alfie Allen in attendance as a wise cracking driver taking the team out on its mission.
It's fun zombie churn but there's an almost shameless rip off of Rec's attic creation, complete with greenish night vision lighting, and there's a moment at the end that got me SO ANGRY I REACHED 108bpm. I don't want to spoil anything so all I'll say is that drawing hearts in blood on anti contamination helmets is not sweet. It makes me want to be furiously sick. All over myself. Just look at the graph!
Also got a chance to watch some great shorts pre-Pandemic. A highlight being a zombie on a first date who just wanted quinoa... Grains...
I'm off in search of hydration. The Mind's Eye is next and I need to get that smeared congealing B+ heart out of mine. Thanks for reading.
Update: 6:00pm
New average heart rate: 81 bpm
Body count: Well, one or two. (I already dread to think the total)
Coffees: Still 1. Soon to be 2
Why do we always end up in the basement? The Forest, The Hexecutioners and now Anguish, all end up in the bloody basement. No more, I say. Especially using only your phone as a light. New rule, horror people, LED lighting in subterranean areas. Let's see how you do with that.
So while The Hexecutioners was as glossily batshit as that title would suggest (coming to DVD in May), Anguish felt far more grounded in reality. Well, a reality that involves possession and dead teenagers. It was chock full of that 'sleepy teenagerosity' that packed the quiet bits of It Follows and managed to keep a simmering tension throughout as a teenager is possessed by the soul of a local dead girl who just wants to come home.
It's not perfect and spends a long time just looking at things, but this is a far more personal story than anything I've seen yet and in its latter half managed a series of scares that sent my heart rate sky rocketing into FAT BURNING territory. What can I say? I'm a complete sucker for a score that sounds like nails dragging down walls.
There's a strong smell of Red Bull in the auditorium and we've got another six hours in here. I even heard snoring half way through Anguish, suggesting that Scotland might have been partaking in a few pints beforehand and during.
Right, I've got sixteen minutes until Pandemic, a fully first person shot movie that wants to be a game. We all know how well that did for Doom and Maniac so lets see what happens. How do I feel? Fine, thanks. Not, like, Ross fine. But fine. Oh, and have a graph. Look at me, fat burning in a cinema.
Update: 3:30pm
New average heart rate: 84 bpm
Body count: Another twenty suicide victims
Coffees: Still 1. We'll see how it goes
So one down, eleven to go and The Hexecutioners is further proof, should you need it, never to trust anyone who has huge gargoyles at the gates.
If you like your comedy as black as your horror loving soul, this American Gothic tale will raise a smile. Malison has a bad experience on her first day as a professional euthanise-r(?) so teams up with the snappier and sexier Olivia for her next job. Insanity duly ensues when they visit a client who has some specific desires involving a ritual and birds eating his insides... The third act joyously jumps the shark but the performances are great and this is a suitably juicy start to the weekend.
Looking at my graph, it's interesting to note that I actually got calmer as the film went on. Clearly I'm at home in a candle lit mansion with a seriously suspect basement. Bring on Anguish. No. Really. That's the next movie.
Update: 1.25pm
Resting heart rate: 79 bpm
Body count: A Japanese forest full of suicide victims
Coffee count: 1
I'm into the auditorium, my hand is stamped. I'm ready. Or as ready as I'll ever be. I've got a bag of sun dried tomato popcorn, two cereal bars, a bottle of water and a very large vanilla latte. Oh, so this is how hipsters attempt to survive the apocalypse.
Last night's trip to The Forest with Natalie Dormer was a gentle introduction to a full two days of horror. While it managed a few scares - largely from the school of 'quiet, quiet, quiet, LOUD' shocks - it wasn't quite the terrifying jaunt to the woods it could have been. A solid 'I quite fancy a crap horror on Netflix' with a few laughs where there should have been scares and a solid performance from Dormer. It's not quite the combo of western and Japanese horror we deserve but the gent next to me did scream at one point.
The Hexecutioners - due to start at 1:30pm and from the writer of Pontypool no less - looks like a dark American Gothic combo of death cults, sanctioned euthanasia and vengeful spirits. A perfect way to spend a Friday afternoon. I'll set up my Fitbit and we can see how the graph goes.
Original: Welcome to a gradual decay into hell, a journey into mental degradation and a quest into true darkness. No, that isn't the synopsis for a new Neil Marshall movie. The Scottish (potentially amputated) leg of Frightfest 2016 is taking place at the GFT in oh-so-sunny Glasgow and that means I'm experiencing 13 horror movies in the small matter of two days.
The line up includes a movie where three women wake up in one body (Patchwork), a film covering the discovery of a "Black Mass being performed by a nightmare cabal of subhuman cannibalistic freaks with a penchant for imaginative blood ceremonies" (Baskin), and, if that wasn't enough depravity, I'll be taking in the sights of the American remake of Pascal Laugier's Martyrs. Yes, that Martyrs.
Not only am I armed with a steely resolve to update you on the gory goings on as they occur, I also have on my wrist a Fitbit to track my heart rate throughout each movie. Surely the only true way to review each experience is to see a scientific graph of fear. Or at least watch my heart spike as it gets another almost lethal dose of triple shot latte. Enjoy. Also, be afraid. Be very afraid.
Check back at 1pm for my first update prior to The Hexecutioners. Sounds fun, right?

Look at this kid.
He's my sunshine.
Look at this kid.
He's my sunshine.
I love that hat!!! Beautiful boy he is. Glad to hear you had a constructive appointment and had a few questions answered for you.
Also wanted to say that your MamaPop write up on the 30 Rock joke made me laugh out loud when it got to the part about a future CSI episode. Too funny!!
Awwww, thanks, sugar!
For those cornfused, this is what heather is referring to.
I can't believe you blogged that CSI thing!
That is… brilliant.
If I didn't like Toby 1/10 as much as I do, I'd spend the rest of my year trying to steal you from him.
OMG! So cute!!Look at those big blue eyes.:)
Jeez Louise, that's a cute photo.
So cute it hurts! Owie!
I just wanted to say that I have been coming to this site and reading your blogs for about 2 months now. I am home on mat leave, and am due in two days, so I am bored out of my mind with nothing to do. One day I searched something related to pregnancy and stumbled on this site. I read back over all your pregnancy entries, you are so easy to read that I have lost hours doing so without realizing it, and I have laughed out loud on multiple occasions. Your labour story is so real and your honesty about after the birth is really going to help I think, after I give birth. I think you should write a real woman's " what to expect when your expecting". I would certainly buy it. So really I guess I am saying thanks for writing what you really think and being so honest about all the stuff no one else wants to talk about. You are awesome, and your son is absolutely adorable.
Damn CandianMommies making me cry and shit.
Not sure if I'm that hormonal or what you wrote was that touching. Thanks, CM.
yeah michele. if i did not love toby I would also try to steal you away from him. great post. I bet you 100 bucks that it will be CSI Miami. Oh and Em is the cutest.
My husband walked by as I was looking at that picture and said, "Wow, Emory is such a beautiful kid." I second that.
do you just grab his tiny little chin all the time? 'cause i sure would. too cute! :)
Rachel, you are SO RIGHT. Pan across the everglades more like it.
And I can see the cup's reflection in Caruso's glasses now…
that's just some crazy gorgeousness right there.
too cute…i have a hat just like that! happy holidays – g
Beautiful baby boy!
Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Thanks! Happy holidays to you all as well!
your kid is far cuter than the gerber baby.
He's adorable! Happy Holidays, guys!
That hat is AWESOME. I want one for me.

In a recent Forbes magazine article, executive smile makeovers were featured. It mentioned that CEOs may not be worried about their wrinkles, but rather are more concerned about their "not so pearly whites". "Executive Esthetic Dentistry" is cosmetic dentistry for high level executives, but differs somewhat from cosmetic dentistry that let's say a model or actor would want.
Although Executive Esthetic Dentistry is not necessarily a new trend, it probably does get more attention in the media these days along with other cosmetic surgery procedures. And it may make some people perplexed. They can understand someone wanting a professional makeover when they are working their way up the ranks, but once they get there? In the Forbes article, Cendant's Henry Silverman said, "I was going on TV a lot, and I didn't like the way my teeth looked." Having it, he confides, "gives you a sense of self-confidence, which never hurts."
Executives, too, want to have a natural smile that takes years off their appearance. As business is becoming more competitive worldwide, even business people in Japan are starting to turn to cosmetic dentistry. Although each individual is different, the Executive Esthetic Smile tends to have certain traits.
Although many executives may enjoy the spotlight, they tend to prefer a more conservative approach to the smile. Whereas someone who is a model or actor would be more likely to want their teeth to be more perfect looking or a brighter white, executives may lean towards a something more subtle. There are exceptions, but the tendency is away from a Hollywood-white smile.
Younger, Healthier Smile, Rather Than Brilliant or Dazzling
The look that executives tend to feel comfortable with is a natural, youthful and healthy look. It's a rejuvenation of their current smile. Perhaps the shapes and sizes of the teeth will stay similar, or perhaps slight alterations for a more enhanced look. They don't necessarily want to call too much attention to their smile. But the overall effect will be to make the smile look 10 – 15 years younger, to brighten their appearance and to look more professional in front of prospective clients.
For one thing, because of the age group of corporation presidents and CEOs, teeth bleaching alone tends to not be an effective solution. Reasons for this includes the build-up of stain over the years leaves the stain too engrained to be lightened enough with bleaching. Or perhaps existing restorations in the front teeth would also prevent a uniform color. Or even if their teeth were whitened through bleaching, they may still be unhappy with the overall look and shapes of their teeth.
Therefore executive restorations would most likely be performed using porcelain veneers or crowns, depending on the amount of healthy tooth available and desired end result. If teeth are missing, an implant may be needed to fortify the foundation under a crown or bridge for an increased biting strength. If teeth are worn down through years of grinding, then the restoration may rebuild the length of the tooth to its natural, previous length. And if old, failing restorations are being replaced, the new restoration will give the illusion of a natural tooth, not an old crown.
One local executive came to my office saying he was extremely dissatisfied with the look of his smile, and also suspected that years of avoiding the dentist had placed his overall dental health in jeopardy. His teeth had the appearance of being crooked and worn down, to the point where he was beginning to feel more self-conscious about his smile. Although he had attained the position of president within his corporation and certainly was a success in his professional life, he still felt held back by not being able to express himself comfortably. He did feel he could become a better communicator and seem more approachable if he could express himself with his smile.
Cosmetic Dentistry Success – Helps Patient's Self-Esteem
After extensive gum therapy, this patient's old restorations and decay were replaced with natural-appearing porcelain restorations. The results were amazing to him. Little by little, he found himself smiling more when meeting people, when talking, or taking photos. He was also happy with the youthful look it gave him. And most importantly, the treatment received allowed him to continue on a road of good oral health, allowing him to keep his natural teeth. He had self-confidence again, and a bright smile.
One of the best things about state-of-the-art dentistry is the ability for cosmetic dentists to custom make each individual smile to fit face shape, personality, age, gender, and profession. This is due to a combination of advancements in dentist technique and smile design, dental materials used, and laboratory expertise. For example, in my office we use a technique that allows patient input and feedback on the smile we are creating together. Patients can feel comfortable knowing their final smile is a collaboration of science, art and their ideas, too.
So regardless of if you're an aspiring super model hoping for jobs in New York or a CEO who has already arrived in their penthouse office, cosmetic dentistry can create a smile makeover well suited to your wants and needs to upgrade both personal and professional life.
