The dream about winning a lot of money is quickly becoming a reality, the online casino players winning thousands, whilst in some cases, millions of dollars. I'm sick of purchasing lottery tickets and never winning! Lets deal with it, obtained more regarding getting hit by a bus than you do of winning a major lottery lotto jackpot. If you'd like to elevate your chances of winning a lot of money, and have some fun at the same time, website recommend using online online casino.

Like any popular in Canada or any country inside world, Lotto 6/49 jackpot prize will roll over draw on draw not really won. Comes around Online lottery leads to big jackpots. In fact, a lotto group play of 17 employees from local gas and oil Company in Alberta won a stunning record of $54.3 million jackpot in October the year 2005. During that time, a lotto fever had swept the whole of Canada, leading to at least a hundred purchases of lotto tickets every min. It was estimated that about 2 of three Canadians have bought lotto seat. Amazing!
There are actually common mistakes that people usually commit that bring their winning streaks towards drain. For instance, ought to be done rely for that pattern of using the same number many times. Oh yes, you are guilty yourself, aren't you? You have the tendency to use you birth date or anniversary date together with other similar varieties of significance, suitable? Although you may feel this is necessary, this isn't exactly how it works especially you aim november 23 at lotto!
But, throughout my own experience,not only will most people NEVER win any significant money playing the lottery, most will spend far finished they ever win, (or can afford) chasing the dream.
The power of getting your lottery tickets online is the fact you won't need to leave home to offer a lending product. No more waiting in those long lines, might be quite long each and every large jackpot was launched. No more worrying about others trying to compare their numbers to your business opportunity. You have the luxury of sitting comfortably and leisurely with your chair deciding on your numbers at very pace.
If you need to increase your odds of winning this lottery, they're tip in order to use check numerous guides like "How to Win" which can published about the. You may be able to contact those who posted, thank them and request for advice and guidance. Some Megabucks lottery enthusiasts even publish magazines and organize forums for discussion to be able to win online game. I also suggest further all of the literature on top of the subject, you will discover numerous books of mathematical models that explain how to get a windfall.
The threat of the email lottery scams are original. But what are they after? Live draw and women that are immediately after your settlement is bad enough. But there is one thing that those scammer desire that could really end up being dangerous for.

Lumberton (609) 261-2223
1561 New Jersey 38, Lumberton, NJ 08048
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. The plantar fascia is the thick band of tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes. When this band of connective tissue becomes inflamed, plantar fasciitis occurs. Fortunately, this condition is treatable.
There are several factors that may put you at a greater risk for developing plantar fasciitis. One of the biggest factors is age; plantar fasciitis is common in those between the ages of 40 to 60. People who have jobs that require them to be on their feet are also likely to develop plantar fasciitis. This includes factory workers, teachers, and others who spend a large portion of their day walking around on hard surfaces. Another risk factor is obesity because excess weight can result in extra stress being placed on the plantar fascia.
People with plantar fasciitis often experience a stabbing pain in the heel area. This pain is usually at its worst in the morning, but can also be triggered by periods of standing or sitting. Plantar fasciitis may make it hard to run and walk. It may also make the foot feel stiff and sensitive, which consequently makes walking barefoot difficult.
Treatment for plantar fasciitis depends on the severity of the specific case of the condition. Ice massage applications may be used to reduce pain and inflammation. Physical therapy is often used to treat plantar fasciitis, and this may include stretching exercises. Another treatment option is anti-inflammatory medication, such as ibuprofen.
If you suspect that you have plantar fasciitis, meet with your podiatrist immediately. If left untreated, symptoms may lead to tearing and overstretching of the plantar fascia. The solution is early detection and treatment. Be sure to speak with your podiatrist if you are experiencing heel pain.

- The specified "Station ID" is the ID that this station has on this website, this ID is useful when creating a link to this website. Read more in the About/FAQ.
- To get a better understanding of the APRS path I recommend reading the explanation written by wa8lmf.
- If this packet has the "Posambiguity"-mark it means that the sent position is ambiguous (a configured number of digits has been truncated from the end of the position).
- PHG stands for Power-Height-Gain (and directivity). The height is not the height above sea-level, it is the height above average terrain (HAAT = Height Above Average Terrain). PHG is used to calculate the relative RF range of a station. If this station has reported several positions or symbols the PHG data will only be used for the position and symbol used in the PHG-packet.
- RNG is the "pre-calculated omni-directional radio range" of the station (reported by the station itself). If this station has reported several positions or symbols the RNG data will only be used for the position and symbol used in the RNG-packet. It seems like many D-STAR station use the RNG value to specifify D-STAR range.
- One object may be sent by several different senders. On the map they may share the same path, but they all have their own "Station information" modal.
- If station has more than 15 related stations we will only show the 10 closest related stations.

The Holy Bible – Old Testament
Jeremiah Chapter 2
1 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.
3 Israel was holiness unto the LORD, and the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the LORD.
4 Hear ye the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel:
5 Thus saith the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?
6 Neither said they, Where is the LORD that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt?
7 And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.
8 The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.
9 Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the LORD, and with your children's children will I plead.
10 For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing.
11 Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.
12 Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD.
13 For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
14 Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he spoiled?
15 The young lions roared upon him, and yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant.
16 Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the crown of thy head.
17 Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, when he led thee by the way?
18 And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor? or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the river?
19 Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.
20 For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot.
21 Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?
22 For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord GOD.
23 How canst thou say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done: thou art a swift dromedary traversing her ways;
24 A wild ass used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind at her pleasure; in her occasion who can turn her away? all they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.
25 Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go.
26 As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets,
27 Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.
28 But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah.
29 Wherefore will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith the LORD.
30 In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
31 O generation, see ye the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee?
32 Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.
33 Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways.
34 Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these.
35 Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned.
36 Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria.
37 Yea, thou shalt go forth from him, and thine hands upon thine head: for the LORD hath rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt not prosper in them.

About Us
Welcome to WRND where cost-effective energy solutions are realized through creative and clever engineering work.
With a long standing track record in electronic and mechanical engineering as part of our foundation WRND strives to help solve the challenges of our time. We have notices the approaching energy crisis. More specifically the situation of electricity supply in South Africa. To address this problem in the short and medium term we aim to supply the very best in solar panel, wind turbine and other energy harnessing technologies. Along side this we offer a full range of supporting products like pure sine wave inverters, standard and MPPT type solar regulators and charge controllers, dump load regulators, deep cycle and high cycle batteries, wiring solutions and support structures.
Solar panels are an ideal option in most parts of South Africa. We are blessed with an abundance of sunshine of high intensity. Solar panels also offer the advantage of being solid state and once installed needs no further attention. They offer years of reliable service and usually come with a output warranty to boot.
Wind turbines are essentially a very effective means of converting the energy of moving air to usable electric energy. South Africa has one of the longest cost lines compared to landmass in the world. Where land meet ocean the difference in water and land temperature provide sustainable and relatively consistent wind producing air pressure systems. Wind turbines are also used inland to harness wind caused by localized air pressure systems or recurring frontal systems.
Solar panels, wind turbines and the like are effective in converting energy from another form to electricity. But due to the fluctuations on the input side of these devices the energy on the output side are not consistent. For this reason batteries are used to 'buffer' and store the energy and then it is converted back to usable mains electricity by means of an inverter. The type and quality of the inverter you choose will influence the size of your system and could degrade or even damage equipment connected to it if not correct. Be sure to make an informed decision.
Now that you have found us feel free to make contact and lets have a conversation. Maybe you just want to find out more about what size of solar panel will work for you or it could be that you have noticed all the 'money' blowing past in the wind and need a wind turbine. Maybe you need clarification about the difference between a modified sine wave inverter and a pure sine wave inverter. No question is to irrelevant and we are glad to share our years of experience in this field

What people are saying
How are propane prices determined in Sabine County, Texas?
Anyone new to using propane for heating gets puzzled by the pricing. If you're wondering whether crazy rate fluctuations in Sabine County, TX are business as usual and want to find out who determines these rates, here are the answers.
Although the price of any fuel type is defined on a state level – the same way Natural Gas is – the rate you get it at is determined by multiple factors. Aside from national stakeholders having their say in propane pricing, some suppliers indeed charge more than others. People in Sabine County, Texas have reported saving up to $2.00 a gallon for home heating just by switching providers with consumer friendly pricing.
Propane Prices in Sabine County, TX Remain Stable Over The Years
During a cold winter season propane increases in price in Sabine County. Filling up a propane tank or buying any fuel type like Heating Oil, at that point may not be the most cost-effective choice. The price per gallon you can expect to pay during a summer season indeed differs in comparison to the gallon pricing during the cold winter.
Looking at the data, using propane for home heating systems makes a good choice compared to other fuel sources. Keep in mind though that households that use propane solely for cooking or hot water, generally pay a higher cost per gallon.

Because of the relative complexity of learning management systems, most come with a premium price tag. LearnPress is the obvious exception, offering the core plugin for free from the official repository.
But how does this free option compare with the premium alternatives? Pretty well, actually. LearnPress is easy to use, comes with plenty of useful features, and, as with many free plugins, is fully extendable, too.
Courses are created by navigating to LearnPress > Course > Add New. This will look like the default WordPress visual editor, but the important course details are configured using meta boxes directly below.
For a start, you can outline the course curriculum by adding course sections, then splitting them into individual lessons and quizzes. Each lesson/quiz is added with a single mouse click.
From the visual editor screen, you can also configure other important settings for your course, including final assessment details (including pass mark), maximum enrollments, course duration, and number of retakes permitted. You can also use this section for setting an enrollment price — the free core supports PayPal payment out of the box, with extensions available for Stripe and WooCommerce integration.
Students may want to help each other out, communicate with teachers, or just plain socialize, and this can be achieved by creating a dedicated course forum. Adding a forum will require you to install one of the free add-ons, though, with either BuddyPress or bbPress integration available.
Talking of add-ons, the LearnPress developers have released a whopping 17 to date — six free and 11 premium. The free core is impressive in its own right, but these extensions — particularly the premium ones — let you add the fancy functionality that brings LearnPress in line with the premium alternatives. Some of my favorite add-ons include:
- LearnPress Prerequisite Courses (FREE) — lets you create advanced courses that can only be enrolled into after prerequisite courses have been passed.
- LearnPress Co-instructors ($30) — lets you assign multiple teachers to a course.
- LearnPress Assignments ($30) — lets you set assignments for your courses that students submit by uploading to the website.
- LearnPress Collections ($20) — lets you bundle courses together and sell them under one price tag.
- LearnPress myCRED ($30) — integrates LearnPress with myCRED, enabling students to earn badges and points for their progress.
LearnPress is compatible with any WordPress theme, however the developer has launched two dedicated LearnPress themes on ThemeForest: Education WordPress Theme – Education WP and eLearning WP. Both look stunning, so I strongly recommend checking them out: WordPress LMS – LearnPress – The best WordPress LMS Plugin.
Il forum 'Introduction to LearnPress – LMS plugin' è chiuso a nuovi topic e risposte.

From the Gypsy Collection
Earth tone colors and abstract design add a touch of flair to any home decor
Color(s): charcoal, moss, navy, olive and teal
Hand tufted/loop details
Medium pile
Design may vary slightly due to the hand crafted nature of this rug
Dimensions: 8' wide x 11' long
Material(s): wool
Note:photo shows a 5' x8' rug, however this listing is for a 8' x 11' rug
Our hand crafted rugs are meticulously hooked, woven and tufted by skilled artisans with the power to transform an ordinary space into something spectacular. Created in northeastern India by local weavers, these intricate rugs provide a livelihood to villagers, particularly women who have been traditionally excluded from opportunities in India's workforce. The elaborate process takes several artisans to complete, beginning with patterns that are hand traced and colored. Dependent on which highly detailed construction is chosen for a rug design, it can take anywhere from one week to over six months to complete one of these expertly crafted masterpieces.
A portion of the profits from these rugs and pillows goes towards a school lunch program that serves fresh, nutritious daily meals to 1.3 million children in rural India. For many children, this is their only substantial meal of the day. Additional donations are also made to a scholarship program that enhances literacy and learning in Southeast Asia. Nearly 80 percent of children from impoverished families drop out before graduation due to the burden of educational fees, books and uniforms. This program helps compensate for all school expenses in addition to mandating and paying for after-school tutoring for students most in need.

Caring for your Hunza G
Chlorine conscious
Chemicals like chlorine (and suncream) can be damaging to the fabric and colour of your Hunza G, particularly with our neons. After swimming, ensure you rinse your garment with cold water and wash at 30°C with similar colours. This prevents long term chlorine absorption which will cause the fabric to break down.
Keep it cool
Please avoid wearing your Hunza G in jacuzzis, saunas, steam rooms, and hot springs,as the extreme temperatures can damage the material, color, and quality of your piece.
Dry with care
Elastane – a composition of our signature fabric – doesn't like heat or chemicals. Do not put your Hunza G in the drier or hang it on a radiator - air drying is best. Please dry it flat and out of direct sunlight.

How to Deal With Rude People:
I did think this was a funny picture to use for the post title: how to deal with rude people! ha ha ha
I think everyone at some point in their day or week, comes across the path of at least one person who is rude to you.
I encountered a few people today that were extra-rude! I first thought, maybe they are just having a bad day, maybe they can't help that they lack people skills and kindness. Then as I continued to speak to rude person #1, I realized, "I think they are just rude!" Then I came across rude person #2, and again I was amazed at their rudeness! How can these people go though life mowing people over with their horrible attitudes and words?
This is what I've realized when I "get" to come in contact with these "rude-y's"...
#1. Don't let them effect you with their rudeness ~ I try to never react with what I feel like dishing out to them...that would make me just as awful as them.
To the rude lady at the cupcake shop who rudely tried to make me feel like an idiot..to which I could have rudely replied, "You are one of the rudest business people I've ever dealt with...I could go on youtube and have thousands of people hear about how stinkin' rude you are and that NO ONE should ever buy your stupid cupcakes. You have the worst people skills and HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO anyone, let alone a potential customer that way you depressing little woman! I don't want anyone to ever have to deal with you or your pretentious little cupcake bakery!" BUT I DIDN'T SAY ANY OF THAT! (i just had to think of all the awful things I COULD have said, but I don't even naturally think like that! ha ha ha)
Instead I said, "OK, sounds like this won't work out. Maybe I'll try back when you have all your ordering figured out. Have a great day, bye!"
#2. Never let these rudey ones put a damper on your happiness ~ Don't let them steal your happiness, that only lets them win with the "power of their rudeness"! The best revenge is being extra happy and not-effected!
#3. Overpower the rudeness ~ that saying kill em' with kindness is my favorite way of dealing with rude people. Nothing makes a "rudey" feel worse than when you are nice to them...it takes the angry wind, right out of their sails!
#4. People that are rude have no clue what graciouness is ~ Graciousness is marked by kindness, sympathy, and unaffected politeness (according to the dictionary) and rude people are the complete opposite - Ungraciousness is an offensive lack of good manners. We want nothing to do with that.
#5. Feel sorry for rude people ~ Yes, that's right, feel sorry for them, this is a horrible "disease of rudeness" that they have. I bet they have misery and anger in their lives at every turn. That's why it spills out of them like an overflowing bathtub...you get filled up on what's in the inside and it spills out.
#6. Spill some kindess ~ just like the "rudey's" are full of anger and misery (their bathtubs are overflowing)......make sure you fill yourself with kindness, so that kindness spills out on everyone that comes in your path, from a waitress to your grandma, to a stranger that you hold the door open for, or let go in front of you in line when you see they only have a few items and you have a whole cart full.
Rudeness only has an effect if we let it. Are there rude people in the world? Yes. Are they almost everywhere we go? Yes. Do we have to be victim to their rudeness? NO! We can choose to put up our mirror of "rude-reflection"...not only will it bounce back the rudeness that they just spit out at us...so that our kindness will show them how "rude-iculous" they were, but also, that we WILL NOT LET IT EFFECT US or our DAY! And even if they still keep on keepin' on with their rude ways.....we can rejoice that we are not like that, and get away from them as fast as we can!
May you be a light of sparkling kindness wherever you go today...leave a path of people who feel better for having come into your presence. A big smile, a nice "thanks you so much!", and a kind, "have a great day!"...can totally bring a smile to someone's day.
A compliment, a kind smile, and something nice or encouraging...will always make someone's day better!
Let's be a huge revolution of "happy-day-maker's" where ever we go today...and every day!
typed with love from someone who battle some "rude's" all day...and not a one of them won! ha ha ha
huge love and super big smile...your kandee

Sometimes people find it easier to throw a blanket over an issue but find that they still have hurt feelings underneath and ponder about why they were a target of someones negativity.
I think people should empower themselves knowledge, i believe the only real way to relieve your hurt emotions is through understanding.
Trying to figure out the situation, environment and questioning yourself is the first step.
Take for example if it's an online comment from a random stranger and you get butt hurt. Think to yourself "wait, this person is probably just going around leaving everyone negative comments" and asking yourself "how is it benefiting me to be angry right now?" - August 6, 2010 at 11:33 AM

It will not be the first time and it will not be the last time U come across those kind of people.
About your # 3, in this life time and with the kind of people that walk on this earth, not even that applies anymore, they don't recognize your action of overpower the rudeness, they have become immune to it already, they know your intentions and they don't care, they are to busy with their own selfish feeling of rudeness. It is sad but they are just rude and mean, they are born like that, miserable, their is nothing U can do. However, my opinion, the best way is to ignore them, and if U are not alone, just comment in a loud voice," I don't think this is the only cupcake store around" and off U go. Again, sadly but we have to share this world with those kind of people, just lets behave smarter. Good luck... - August 6, 2010 at 12:29 PM

I will never understand these people who yes even thought they are just speaking to someone for the first time (as a customer, co-worker, etc) they say something completely out of place, insulting (ie 'wow you sure are...') and rude.
So thanks so much for sharing your thoughts once again Kandee <3 love from Canada! I'm going to try my best and remember this the next time I encounter a rude person. - August 6, 2010 at 12:37 PM
- Noelle Garnier said...
that's right!
I love the phrase "kill 'em with kindness" -- it beats revenge any day! and who knows, when you show someone some love, maybe it helps them get a little closer to shutting off the bad water that's making the bathtub overflow. I love this post ... thank you kandee!
<3 <3 <3 hearts for you
kandee fam lil sis - August 6, 2010 at 12:37 PM
You have right ! Spilling some kindness is the best way to deal with this type of people. I don't know how you are doing this, but you always encourage my heart ! you always make my day better ;-) thanks for another good tips Kandee !

I'm glad I have such a virtual friend like you. I regret that I did not know you on live. You are so helpfull ! And always bringing joy ;-) Good luck sweetheart ! You deserve the best !
- August 6, 2010 at 1:12 PM
I am really very curious what these people did that was rude.. What was said..
I was a waitress / bartender for many years and I have realized that when you work with the public, it is VERY VERY hard to not have a rude day in your life.. Its one of those things, and you clearly reacted the right way.
I feel that if more people didn't react to rudeness we would have happier people all over the place. Some people are flakes, some are short, some just had a bad day, but I refuse to believe that these rude people we encounter while we are out and about are truly trying to make everyone else's lives difficult.. - August 6, 2010 at 1:24 PM

I work with a girl who is constantly rude to everyone! She's past being rude...she's just plain mean. I don't know what childhood trauma she's been through, but she makes work a sad place to be (and I happen to like my job!)
I wanted to tell her off so many times! Just the other day she was complaining that I had more hours than her even though she feels she works harder than me. I wanted to tell her that maybe she'd get more hours if she wasn't such a DRAG to be around! But I didn't say that. I smiled, said "so what," and walked away.
Punching her in the face would be worse than telling off, wouldn't it? :P - August 6, 2010 at 1:32 PM

Thanks for this post, Kandee! I'm an Esthetician, & I deal with rude people every day. Sure, most of my clients are SO nice. But every once in a while, you get that one bad apple that seems to trump everyone else's kindness. I've even had a client call me fat to my face for NO reason!!! You're so right on this, you do have to kill 'em w/ kindness.

Kill em with kindness!
I went to this shop today called the little traveler and they had a variety of really cute/affordable watches. All the bands on the watches had different designs. There are soo many with animal prints!!! I thought of you because they reminded me of something you would like. The store is called the little traveler in Geneva, IL. Maybe you could check them out on their website or even when you come to chi!!

You said to spread your kindness, to your waitress, or your grandma, etc. I just wanted for you to hear that I am a waitress, and even if I am having a bad day, I still put a smile on my face and try not to ruin someone else's day. Although sometimes theres are customers who come and THEY are the rude ones, and then I will try to be very nice, and suddenly, they're as nice as I am! sometimes you just have to give them a little nudge.
Lots of Love,

Hi Kandee,
I love love love your blog and your youtube videos.
I recently moved to Ecuador from the United States (about a year ago) and it's really difficult sometimes.
I'm planning my own image consulting business,and your inspiring words always make me feel better when I feel like I just can't take it here anymore.
This post came at just the right time today, the men in Ecuador are so rude with women walking down the street, whistling and saying rude things, and it really made me sad and angry today, but I read your post and it really brightened my day.
So I wanted you to know how much better you made my day :)
I also have my own fashion blog I would love for you to visit at some point when you have time
Have a beautiful day! - August 6, 2010 at 3:31 PM
Great post! I really like this one. This is something we all deal with day to day. The world is and has always been stuck with people who are frustrated with their lives and end up taking it out on others. You never know she could have been having a bad day and someone had hurt her. I always thought happiness was contagious and sharing your happiness with others is an important gift you can give to others.Thanks kandee for reminding me of this!!:)

I'm struggling with rude people al ot recently and like this post. But the killing people with kindness hasn't worked in my experience. It just makes people think I'm a push over and they can keep being a jerk. Maybe killing people with assertiveness is better. :)

Kandee, I just found you on You Tube and have watched 50 videos so far tonight! I am a fair skinned real red head with green eyes. I was wondering if you maybe could do a video on colors for a redhead or green eyes for an every day fresh look and smokey eye? Also, my eyebrows are right on top of my brow bone and there isn't much space there like yours, any tips? I wasn't sure of the best way to contact you...sorry if this isn't the right place.

One of your best posts Kandee!! I was kinda bummed by some rude people today while shopping. It put me out of the mood for the celebratory shopping my sis and I were doing 'cause she just came home after being away for 5 weeks. I pretty much forgot about it, but reading your post made me realize how much I let rude people get at me sometimes. I'm so sensitive sometimes it frustrates me that I let petty people bother me.
Thanks for the lift!! - August 6, 2010 at 8:12 PM

If it's one of the things that I've noticed most, is that a lot of people in the service industry are rude- which I find a little ironic as they are employed to deal specifically with people...I actually went into a bookstore with a gift card of about $30 and while I was there found the Burt's Bees line which I've always wanted to try but never have so I decided to buy it with my gift card. While at the register this 15 year old girl (mind you I'm 22) looked at me and while ringing me up said "wow you don't read much do you?" and I said "excuse me?" and she said "well it's just that you get a gift card to a book store and you spend it all on beauty products."
What I wanted to say was "Well actually, I graduated Magna Cum Laude of my University, and just got offers to 3 top universities who are willing to pay for my Phd- so I'm pretty sure I am more of an avid reader than you are" -but I didn't say any of those things. I simply smiled and said goodbye as I walked away with my beauty products.

This is SUCH a great post, Kandee! The other day I went to ULTA and my husband was waiting for me in the car. He said he saw an older woman walk up to the door just as five girls arrived at the same time. The older woman opened the door for the girls so they could go in first. My husband noted that none of the girls said thank you to the woman or aknowledge her standing there. One of the girls was texting as she walked in too. I think it's a generational thing and I do include my generation as well. We were left at home as latch key kids with a TV as a babysitter. This new generation has now stopped with alot of face to face communication and just texts and emails. Also parents are so afraid of their children that they don't reprimand or discipline them not to mention they don't want to be parents and they'd rather be friends with their kids. That is not a good foundation for any child.
So back to the rudeness I think this post is great and I hope that man people can use it as inspiration and help when someone is rude to them. I run into rude people all the time and I don't have a thick enough skin to let it roll off of me yet. It does hurt. BUT I will pray about it and keep what you've said here in mind. - August 8, 2010 at 1:00 AM

Thank you for this post! I will think of it tomorrow, my first day at work after my vacation. I will always think "happy thoughts" from now on and don't let the rude people get to me. Because I have a wonderful life at home, a loving husband, 3 beautiful stepchildren and my little son, sweet as a cupcake! Thank you!

you should be extra kind to them because that makes them even more mad! haha! but sometimes you do have to say something back to them (not necessarily something rude) to put them in their place and let them know that they're being jerks

Kandee, I am a huge fan -- not only do you encourage beauty on the outside (boostin' my confidence for sure), but you preach beauty on the inside. Its so hard to come by with the consistent negativity we all get everyday about our bodies, our minds, and our spirits. We all have bad days sometimes, but you give me faith that there are still really beautiful, kind individuals out there.
But mostly to comment on your #1: I work in that cupcake shop. When I read your blog and saw the pictures, I am devastated to know that they were so rude to you, let alone ANYONE ELSE. They tarnish the business' reputation, as well as all the hard work that I (and so many other amazing people) put into my our jobs to make sure it counts every single day. Their holier-than-thou attitude is not a universal trait. There is no excuse for it, but I am ashamed and apologize for all the negativity you had to endure in such a happy place.
Thank you for being so gracious! If you come back to Seattle, I would treat you to any ol' cupcake you want, any ol' day. The Glaminar looked like a blast! Wished I could've gone! I hope my city has treated you well <3 - August 8, 2010 at 6:09 PM

yay, thank you Kandee. I just had a swarm of trolling comments on my page with some really mean things for the first time. At first i was mad that someone actually could just write that, but then i thought how sad is it to call someone stupid and ugly while they have no pictures of themselves and they dont even have the guts to up theyre name. On the bright side of it though i must of done something right with my blog if i have people hating already. :)

Thank you, Kandee. I work in costomer service and you wouldn't believe how many rude people I encounter daily. I was actually dreading going to work today just for the fact that I don't want to deal with another 'rudy' thank you for your uplifting post. It just what I needed today. :)

Pulp Fantasy Library: The Worm Ouroboros
The novel tells the story of the conflict between two realms, Demonland and Witchland. The king of Witchland demands that the lords of Demonland submit to his authority. The lords agree to do this only in the event that the Witchlander king can defeat the greatest of the Demonlander lords, Goldry Bluszco, in a wrestling match. When the two leaders undertake this feat of strength, the king of Witchland is slain. His successor contrives by magic to imprison Goldry Bluszco so that Demonland will have lost its champion and be vulnerable to attack by the invading Witchlander armies. The novel then proceeds with the story of the clash between these two kingdoms and the attempts by the Demonlanders to find and free Goldry Bluszco in time to be able to save their land from conquest.
The Worm Ouroboros is, quite simply, an amazing piece of work that defies easy categorization. With its unique prose style, it's quite unlike any fantasy novel that has come in its wake. Its characters are vividly drawn and compelling, even the villainous ones, who come across as very real, if flawed, human beings. The story itself reads like a Greek tragedy in the form of a Norse saga: a dark, larger-than-life struggle in which hubris plays as large a role as heroism and honor. It's this, I think, that so offended Tolkien. Eddison's characters, even the putatively noble ones, are arrogant brutes who adhere so thoroughly to a warrior ideal that they pray for the resurrection of their enemies so that they may avoid the boredom of peacetime. This is part of what makes the novel so compelling. The world it presents is at once attractive and repulsive, making it hard not to be drawn headlong into it, despite one's feelings.
Interestingly, The Worm Ouroboros is not listed in Appendix N. I'd be amazed if Gygax had never read the book, but, if he did, he never made mention of it, making it hard to gauge its direct influence over the development of D&D. There's no question that it had a huge influence on the game indirectly, through the world building template it laid down for the genre. It's a pity so many latter day fantasy novelists seem incapable of telling an epic story as succinctly as Eddison does (it's under 500 pages in its original edition), but I fear the fantasy novel is too deep into its decadent phase to allow for such a possibility. For that reason, if you're tired of 1000-page long, interminable series, you might want to give Eddison a try. His style certainly isn't for everyone and I admit that there are stretches of the novel where my eyes started to glaze over, but there's no denying his was at least a unique and imaginative voice and one of the founders of a modern literary genre.

Nice overview of this odd novel. I found the language and style gorgeous and compelling, but like Tolkien thought the characters were totally despicable. I was (relatively) proud that I made it to page 195 or so before calling it quits. Just didn't feel like it was going anywhere.
Having just re-read the Fafhrd and Gray Mouser stories by Leiber, I recall he makes reference to Ouroboros in the introduction to one of the Swords against books (can't remember which one). Something to the effect that F & GM bear some similarity to the Demonlanders, but aren't nearly as evil at heart. I'm sure EGG knew Eddison's work, at least indirectly.I'm a HUGE fan of The Worm Ouroboros. I started reading it in my early teens, didn't really get it, then read it again in my twenties and it blew me away. I've re-read it once every year or two since then, and it gets better every time.
It's in the public domain, so I've often thought about lifting from it for my homebrew, but Eddison nails the mythic tone so well that it's not really a good fit for the "weird fantasy" main campaign region." but I fear the fantasy novel is too deep into its decadent phase to allow for such a possibility."
James, I would very much like to hear some more about what you think the fate of the genre might be. I follow the changes in sci-fi,and fantasy culture with interest, and the genericization of fantasy literature is quite obvious. Mainstreaming of just about anything dilutes and weakens it, and the Disney style take on fantasy seems to have become the defining one for the non-devotees."Fantasy," as a genre, seems to have split into two broad categories. The first is the mainstream one, of which the Disneyfied version is just one sub-type. The second is the very inbred one that is ever more esoteric and self-involved, as exemplified by, in my opinion, authors like Jordan and Martin. My unsubstantiated gut feeling is that the current situation is untenable and will collapse in on itself before too long, especially on the esoteric side of things. Whether that leaves an opening for something else to replace it remains to be seen.
ReplyDeleteLove for Ouroboros indeed! Like Scott, I got it young and didn't get it. (I picked it up because the cover art was done in the same style as the some of the (60's?) LotR books - probably just expected (and at the time would have wanted nothing more than) it to be another Rings book.
Re-read it in my 20's also and have loved it since.
I can barely follow current fantasy writing. It's almost all science-fiction for me now.- AnonymousApril 13, 2009 at 12:40 PM
This is an amazing book. I couldn't figure out how to read it until I was in highschool but once you get used to the prose it is extremely entertaining sentence to sentence. It has monsters, magic, adventurers, all the pillars of fantasy adventure games. It also has the peculiar introduction/journey from the normal world into the fantasy world. The one in Ouroboros is extremely strange but this concept keeps popping up in fantasy stories to this day.
The characters have very non-christian (pre-christian?) and unenlightened ideals from a modern point of view which seems to perfectly fit the story and the world. At times it does make the "heros" far less likeable. Looks like I have another book to add to my read list. I'll be sure to check it out once I finish Tros of Samothrace (yet another of your great suggestions James). I can't thank you enough for this series of posts: I've been a fantasy fan since I was a kid, but modern offerings are just not doing it for me. Going back to the roots of the genre has been a revelation, and I'm devouring as much as I can. And I have you to thank for this. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteEddison is phenomenal stuff, though I agree with Tolkien that his underlying philosophy was a bit on the loathesome side! Still, when I recommend books to people it is always high on the list.
Also, I think it is really ironic, almost eery, that you mention this book today. I have had a copy of Styrbiorn the Strong on my shelf for years and just finally started reading it yesterday. This Eddison book is his version of a Viking saga and it certainly contains the same sorts of philosophical underpinnings that The Worm Ouroborous does, though it is grounded very much in the sagas and lacks the pure fantasy element.
On another note, Eddison also wrote the fantasy Zimiamvian Trilogy. There are some VERY loose connections between it and The Worm, though I would call them lesser works (but still good). Still, if you liked Ouroborous then they might be worth checking out, though I am pretty sure they are out of print (but not too hard to find).As an aside; I know that the term "Pulp Fantasy Library" wasn't meant to be taken too seriously, and certainly this is no pulp story. Fascinating read nonetheless, but not pulp.
I'm actually more interested in your opinion posted here in the comments section about the "state of the genre" itself. One thing that I've heard second-hand from folks in the book retail business is that fantasy (and sci-fi in the broader sense that includes fantasy) sales are on the up. In fact, it's gradually been growing as a sales force for decades to the point where it's a real powerhouse of sales.
For that reason, the idea that fantasy is an increasily esoteric, "nichefied" body of work doesn't ring true to me. I believe that fantasy's strengths are it's appeal to common and universal themes, which gives your Martins and Jordans an enduring situation in which to write. I do agree that the prominence of the meganovel; 1000 pages long and only one part of a greater ten book series, is a passing phase that will not remain, but thematically, Jordan and Martin are not, in my opinion, going away anytime soon at all.
Stylistically, maybe. I'd like to see more tightly written prose in the genre for a change. It's like editors have been sent on holiday.James, have you read China Mieville or Joanna Clarke? Much, much more going on in modern fantasy than worthless Robert Jordan. And how is GRR Martin 'self-involved'? Seems to me he writes fantasy-historical romances that are complicated without ever straying too far from real-world analogues.

That's more or less what I meant when I called a lot of modern fantasy "esoteric." I think any story that "needs" to be told in multiple 1000-page volumes qualifies as esoteric.James, have you read China Mieville or Joanna Clarke?
I know nothing of Clarke and am not fond of Mieville.
Much, much more going on in modern fantasy than worthless Robert Jordan. And how is GRR Martin 'self-involved'?
By that I meant only that his novels are overly complex and concerned primarily with his own equally complex world rather than being "mythic" in the usual sense. That is, I find Martin's stuff both a poor substitute for either history or myth, but I realize that's a minority opinion among genre fans.I have to respectfully disagree with Kent about Tolkien. I am quite convinced that Tolkien understood human nature all too well (any read through of The Silmarillion will show you that, with some tales that read more like the darkest Greek Tragedy than anything else). The difference is that Tolkien made a choice to take a different path, so to speak, one that fused pagan ideals with Christianity, whereas Eddison was clearly not enamored of Christianity and preferrred a more raw form of northern, pagan idealism. I am not denigrating Eddison by any means - the two authors have many similarities and interests - they merely chose different paths. (I am NOT trying to be cliched when I say that!!!) Both were amazing writers and fantasists, though they took different lessons from their delving into northern mythology.
Ironically, the two men met several times, though they recognized their inherent differences in outlook and were never close.
For the record, I still list The Worm Ouroboros as one of my top 5 all time favorite novels...Welleran, you make your point very well however I don't believe either author brings a philosophical element of any significance to their work. They work with story and character. They tell tales about people who interest them.
I just don't think his underlying philosophy was a bit on the loathesome side can be a relevant point in any worthwhile piece of fiction. There are plenty of works built on philosophical ideals but they are unreadable.
I'm impressed you have one of the sagas. I have been hoping to find a cheap copy of Egil's Saga for a long time now.Posts are not the best way to discuss these sorts of things, alas. I don't read fantasy for its philosophical underpinnings...I read it simply because I enjoy it, hence the reason I love Eddison even if I disagree with the way the author viewed the world...who cares?!? The novel is amazing, any way you slice it.
As for the sagas, some are better than others and I am not an expert. I picked up Styrbiorn the Strong simply because I knew Eddison had written it and I think he is a superb writer. If you want to pick some up, I recommend hitting used book stores -- Penguin released a whole bunch of them in paperback and they are both cheap and fairly easy to find and the colelction includes Egil's Saga.This Sunday, in the Week in Review section of the New York Times, there was a piece about how cell phones and such are making fiction writing difficult. The impression I got was that technology connects people to such an extent that misunderstandings and near-misses are rare. It is hard for a person to get lost in America.
When discussing this with my wife, we talked about the rise of fantasy and the supernatural in fiction. Maybe the increase in interest is related to the discussion.
In any case ... as for philosophical underpinnings in fantasy, what about Elric, the Princes of Amber, and all of Jack Vance's characters? Not exactly gentlemen. Let's not mention the inhabitants of Gore.
I have not read Eddison, but I intend to, if only because he named the dueling factions Witchland and Demonland and didn't fabricate some sort of pseudo-arcane names. Love that.I have not read Eddison, but I intend to, if only because he named the dueling factions Witchland and Demonland and didn't fabricate some sort of pseudo-arcane names. Love that.Not to discourage you, but The Worm Ouroboros abounds in pseudo-arcane place names: Lida Nanguna, Kartadza, Eshgrar Ogo, Zage Zaculo, Thremnir's Heugh, and the ever-popular Zora Rach nam Psarrion.
And while Eddison named his opposing nations Demonland and Witchland (in addition to which the reader finds Impland, Pixieland, Goblinland, and perhaps others), the inhabitants of those countries in no way match up to the images the names conjure. There are fewer differences between Eddison's Demons and Witches than there are between the English and the French: all of his nations have similar customs and speak the same language (Early Modern English).And, if I remember correctly, all of those names actually belong on Mercury. Although Eddison himself seems to have forgotten it, after making a mention in the first chapter, the world of The Worm is Mercury.
I wonder if that means we could slide it in as an early and atypical example of Planetary Romance or Sword & Planet fiction?
For that matter, I think Planetary Romance's influence on D&D is often forgotten or downplayed, because it's a pseudo-science fiction subgenre, not really a fantasy in the traditional sense. However, Edgar Rice Burroughs seems to me to be a perfectly fine example of a recognizable influence on D&D, and not just because of the gorillon either. The 2e setting Dark Sun was rather overtly looking to Barsoom for inspiration, too.And, if I remember correctly, all of those names actually belong on Mercury. Although Eddison himself seems to have forgotten it, after making a mention in the first chapter, the world of The Worm is Mercury. Likewise he forgot his intermediary. The story is presented as the experience of a man named Lessingham, who flies one night via hippogriff to a destination his guide tells him is Mercury. Lessingham can see and hear what's happening, but he can't interact with his surroundings. So it's just as well he's never mentioned again after about page 30.
I wonder if that means we could slide it in as an early and atypical example of Planetary Romance or Sword & Planet fiction?On the whole, I'd say no. Eddison calls it Mercury, but the story never displays any consciousness of taking place in a cosmic setting: the story is firmly grounded in and limited to the world in which it occurs, whose features, peoples, and customs differ little from Earth's. In contrast, A Princess of Mars, an undoubted Planetary Romance published a few years before The Worm, keeps a few alien races and traits unique to Mars firmly in the reader's eyesight.
The framing device that takes the reader from our world to Eddison's gives no sense of interplanetary travel; Demonland just as easily might be on an undiscovered continent of Earth or in a dream world. I don't think I'd called in Dunsanian either, though...I love the Worm Ouroboros; Eddison pulls off the pseudo-Jacobean style brilliantly. I think the comment about the feel of a tragedy probably derives from that -- there's almost a sense, particularly in the scenes with the Witches, of a 17th-century revenge-tragedy.
The question about underlying philosophy is a knotty one. On the one hand, a book ought to be distinct from a writer's views -- on the other hand, those views may shape the writer's work. For what it's worth, I thought that the Zimiamvia books suffered much more than Ouroboros from troubling philosophy, particularly in its views on gender.
The flip side is that a writer who thinks, who has something to say, can enrich their work with their thinking. And then the other hand of the other hand is the risk of being didactic, of sending too blunt a message. The point I want to get to here is that I think Tolkien succeeds on this count, if only because he didn't have a specific message he was sending -- from everything I've read of the man, he was telling a story, one that was important to him, and themes emerged naturally from that. Eddison, and again I think this was more true of Zimiamvia, had more of a system of thought or world-view that he wanted to expound.
Anyway, I just also want to agree with the sentiment that there is a lot of different kinds of fantasy out there. Miéville aside, much of the "New Weird" writing I find interesting -- notably Jeff VanderMeer, but also Felix Gilman (if he counts as New Weird). Really, one of the strengths of fantasy is its breadth; one of my favourite books of 2008 was Le Guin's retelling of the Aeneid, Lavinia. Then again, at the moment we're also getting all the reprinting of people like Howard, Glen Cook, Jack Vance, and so on. Seems to me to be a good time to like fantasy fiction.- AnonymousApril 15, 2009 at 9:26 AM
My unsubstantiated gut feeling is that the current situation is untenable and will collapse in on itself before too long, especially on the esoteric side of things. Whether that leaves an opening for something else to replace it remains to be seen.I agree with your assessment of Eddison, and by implication, Leiber. But I know of at least one shoot peeking through the dying overgrowth.
"Gentleman of the Road" starts as a wonderful tribute to Leiber (as far as I can tell), but finishes, typical of Chabon, as something more. Chabon's language is well-chosen and wonderful and clearly illustrates what can happen when a writer of considerable talent, who really loves the genre, turns his attention to it.
It seems unlikely to me that Chabon will choose to continue in this vein: he seems to be pleased to flit from exploring one nostalgic genre form to another. But his mainstream appeal and the obvious talent displayed in "Gentleman of the Road" might lead others to explore the same path.
