A epic struggle between science and magic...
Revolt of the Dark Man
Brother Jarles was afraid. Everyone was afraid. The power base of the false religion was crumbling as its scientific miracles proved to be fakes. Now mankind was in the depths of a new dark age, but the priests could offer no hope. Angels and devils warred in the skies, and the witches were stirring up new and terrible marvels. So Brother Jarles turned to the Dark Man, with a last faint hope in his renegade heart.
There was no haven for him in this future world locked in turmoil between decadent science and what seemed to be resurgent superstition. Jarles was essentially a simple man, but there were no simple answers. Even the Great God of the temple was no longer safe.
Then the great warships began to land from Heaven...Collier - 1992
The Age of the Great God
This fascinating science fiction thriller is set 360 years after the dawn of the Atomic Age, when a nuclear holocaust has thrown civilization into a chaos of superstition and religious persecution. As in the Middle Ages, the common people are kept ignorant and ill-fed, buffeted by forces beyond their comprehension.
This new dark age is dominated by a high-tech priesthood that hoards the last remnants of age-old technology, using it to exert power over an oppressed populace.
But like any dictatorship, the Hierarchy of the Great God has its enemies. Witchcraft is on the rise, as the minions of Sathanas plot to wreak havoc upon the priestly overlords.
Between Church and Witches comes Brother Armon Jarles, a young priest who dares to doubt the church orthodoxy. He doesn't know it, but he is about to play a pivotal role in a new Holy War as the witches make ready to... gather, darkness
The Preversion of Science
The haunted house glowed, flared, writhed, melted. The four priests on the knoll had finally received orders to get their war blast into action.
But its smoky red flare was more suggestive of hell than heaven, and from the crowd beyond came screams of agony.
Each narrow street was jammed by fear-crazy, fleeing commoners. Others were seeking to scramble onto the roofs of surrounding houses.
The haunted house collapsed, ceased to be.
But from the flaming, heat-blasted ruins rose a shuddering, triumphant laughter!Collier - 1992
"This Place is Evil!"
The young priest cried out in a great voice. "It is offensive to the nostrils of the Great God. Tremble, Sathanas! Cower, ye fiends! For, lo, I inscribe here the brand of the Hieracrchy!"
He pointed a rod of wrath at the doorway. With a blazing violet beam, he traced a burning circle above the doorway.
He thrust in his head to peer inside. The opening instantly sagged tight around his neck, leaving him struggling. The three other priests who were there to help him tugged and pushed him, pried at the doorway.
The wall gave slightly, then the door opened wide by itself. The priest who had been trapped darted in. The door shut behind him. The house began to shake. Its slack walls tightened, bulged.
An upper window dilated and through it they young priest was ejected, as if the house had tasted him and spat him out. Halfway down he exerted his inviolability, so that his fall was slowed. He bounced gently.
His face burned with humiliation, but he was more afraid than embarrassed. This was truly a house haunted by the devil. The most potent devil of all, the high-tech devil of Golden Age technology.

"A Fritz Leiber book is a real delight." —Marion Zimmer Bradley, author of The Mists of Avalon

With the increasing prevalence of concealed carry among Americans, CCW courses have become a staple of the firearms industry. PanteaoProductions and Matt Jacques of Victory First have come together to make a "Fighting from Concealment" DVD. First, I did not order this DVD. It was a bonus DVD given to me as part of a sales promotion. Second, I have little experience with carrying concealed other than a few times within an operational setting. I do, however, have some experience with weapon and tactics instruction. So, this review will approach the DVD as a fellow instructor, rather than a prospective student. Finally, I know Matt Jacques from the Primary and Secondary Forum and other social media. We have conversed on social media through threads and private messaging. We share a number of friends, acquaintances and contacts. This does not mean a free ride from this blog.
And Matt would want it that way.
Matt sets up this DVD course with a strong introduction. He prefaces his course of instruction by briefly listing his service, both military and law enforcement, and his real world experience working with concealed weapons. Matt states that this video is about fighting from concealment. I like the mindset message broadcast with this declaration. This was trailed by a sound safety brief which included The Big Four as would be anticipated.
The DVD subjects include "Immediate Action", "Combat Reloads" (which Victory First name for an Emergency Reload or Slide Lock Reload), "Tactical Reload", "Multiple Targets", "CQB", "Turn and Shoot", "Shooting on the Move", "Shooting from Cover", "Strong Hand Presentation", "Carbine Use", and "Situational Awareness".
Matt demonstrates reproducible fundamental drills at medium speed with practiced skill. He explains his doctrine and his manual arms comprehensively and precisely. As all professional instructors are, he is a pronounced proponent of dry practice. Each section has a culmination video to further display the proposed standard further. Matt constantly reinforces the need for skill development and resisting skill fade by constant training. He addresses situational awareness, the Cooper Color System and its importance as a life skill; a very important part of any tactical program.
I do not necessarily agree with all Victory First doctrine. As an example, during "Shooting on the Move," Matt Jacques teaches engaging while moving backwards. I have practiced this skill and can engage targets effectively on a flat range moving rearward. From experience, combat rarely happens on pristine flat fields clear of debris. Rearward movement is better done at higher speed facing the direction of travel. Engagement is better done aggressively moving into the fight. I am not a fan of combining the two.
The "Carbine Use" section was excellent. This is of particular interest to armed professionals such as LEOs, private security and military doing low visibility operations. I used to do something very similar when providing tactical medical coverage on low-visibility convoys in Kabul, Afghanistan.
Matt Jacques is a knowledgeable experienced instructor who addresses fundamental subject matter with enthusiasm. He can demonstrate his manual of arms skilfully and supports Victory First's training principles with ample reason. Make Ready: Fighting from Concealment is a worthwhile investment in a video training library.

Which would you think to be more nutritious?
Apparently fast food cheeseburgers are more nutritious than some baby foods. Just goes to show that you really should read the ingredient list on the back of things you eat/feed others. This just reinforces how much I want to make my OWN baby food. 🙂 Cheaper, healthier, easy. . . Hm.

This post is cross-posted at The Race for Iran.
Over at the National Interest, Nikolas K. Gvosdev has a piece on the "BRIC Wall" that is developing in opposition to many U.S. policies, particularly the U.S. drive for further sanctions on Iran.
As Secretary Clinton's unsuccessful visit to Brasilia last week along with recent statements by Turkish officials indicate, the world's rising powers – even those that are democracies – are lining up to oppose U.S. policies that they view as overly confrontational, destabilizing, and threatening to their economic interests.
According to Gvosdev's analysis, the proper analytic distinction is not between democracies and non-democracies, but between established status-quo powers supportive of (American) intervention and emerging nations more keen to support a stricter definition of state sovereignty.
From Gvosdev's piece:
Two years ago, Washington was abuzz once again with the prospects for a "League of Democracies" that would support U.S. global leadership. But in the aftermath of Cyclone Nargis, which devastated Burma/Myanmar, a very clear rift opened up between the democracies of the advanced north and west, which advocated an intervention on humanitarian grounds, and the democracies of the south and east, which proved to be far more receptive to China's call for defending state sovereignty. In the Doha round of trade talks and in the ongoing climate change negotiations, the leading democracies of the south and east–Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, India and Indonesia among them–have tended to line up with Beijing instead of joining Washington's banner.
The lonely U.S. drive for sanctions on Iran is highlighting these divisions, starkly delineating the limits of American power and laying bare the inefficacy of Washington's anachronistic approach to foreign policy.

Bella, a real-honest-to-goodness cat burglar, sits atop a few of her loot. (Picture: International Information)
When you ever questioned the place that one sock went lacking, it can be attributed to tom cat robbery. A cat burglar, to be actual. No less than in case you are dwelling within the neighborhood of 1 guy and his cat that has a penchant for taking issues.
Bella is, no pun supposed, even if it really works right here, a cat burglar
Shawn Bell has had Bella for ten years. Like maximum cats, the long-haired smokey grey tom cat spends maximum night time's out and about in the community and maximum day's drowsing. Feels like a somewhat standard cat life, however Bella is one cat that has a love of crime.
"Hope she does minimize it out, someday. It's lovely," Bell instructed Global News. "However, I don't need her stealing other folks's stuff." Actually, if there have been any query as to Bella's conduct, trendy generation has been ready to supply transparent proof. Turns out even the sneakiest tom cat burglar can't break out being stuck on surveillance video.
Burglar with selective style
Bell has slightly the selection of pieces his lady has introduced again to her stash. T-shirts. Infant's clothes. Socks. And whilst Bella does seem to common patterns, she additionally has turns out picky on the subject of what she takes. Girls's and woman's clothes with a selected affinity for fashion designer labels. This take the time period "glamour puss" to some time new stage.
Kleptomania now not unique to Bella
Bella will have a better flair for a lifetime of crime than different pussycats, however she is in no way on my own. Take a look at this video compilation that has stuck different cat burglars "red-pawed," so as to talk.
A few of these cats and kittens are downright daring, stealing sweet, wallets, toys vehicles, cash, even the sock proper off a toddler. And who doesn't like jerky? Hardened criminals, all and sundry, however how are you able to now not completely love them?
The solution to that old-age query
Possibly Bella and her co-harts, via their shenanigans, have given all folks a bit of perception as to the place that "different sock" went. Subsequent time it occurs, take a look at the cat's mattress.

Healthy Living: Be Good to Your Skin
As the end of the year draws near, cooler temperatures will start to set in and our version of the "Caribbean winter" will commence. While a break from the hot and humid days is usually welcomed by all; cooler and drier temperatures bring with it some health challenges. Tonight on Healthy Living: we look at protecting our skin when the temperatures go down.
Marleni Cuellar, Reporting
Our skin has a very important function. It is our body's first defense from infections. A physical barrier that way too often we choose to neglect. As we anticipate the cooler temperatures, Dermatologist Doctor Jorge Lopez reminds us that we must pay a little more attention to our skin.
Dr. Jorge Lopez Ganja, Dermatologist
"The health of your skin is greatly impacted with the environment and temperature is one important factor. As the temperature drops and the weather gets cooler. The skin tends to get drier. The functions of the skins are various. One of them is fending you off from harmful elements. That barrier function as we call it gets impaired if your skin is dry. S0 for example if I have dry skin and I'm doing dishes. The chemical of the dish washing liquid will go into my skin and create a rash. Easier than if my skin was moisturized. Of course here the genetics play a big role. Because there are people that genetically have skin that is tougher and some other people that have skin that is very sensitive. So the ones that suffer the most is the ones that have sensitive skin and those are the ones that should be more careful. Or children who happen to have more sensitive skin or less resilient skin."
If you suffer from dry skin or simply want to do your best to have better skin care when its cooler: here are some recommendations from the skin specialist.
"Number one is: Avoiding any irritants or as many as you could. This has to do with the detergent. The amount you use. If or not you use fabric softener. Scented problems. I have a lot of patients that have rashes and dermatitis and when I ask if they use moisturizer then they say yes – especially females. But when I ask specifically what kind. Ninety-nine percent of the time it is a scented lotion that they would use and scented means it has more chemicals. If we're talking about dry skin and you are putting more chemicals. It would make the dermatitis worse. One of the things you have to do is to use the proper moisturizing. Another common mistake is using oil. A lot of people would feel that if they apply coconut oil for example that it is moisturizing the skin. Truth is. It's really not. It looks like it's not dry but that doesn't mean that it is moisturizing it so that does not really help to keep your skin healthy. The time of the application of the moisturizing. We advise our patients to use a moisturizer after the shower when your skin is still damp. So the moisture locks in better and it also reduces the greasy feeling you might have which a lot of my patients tell me that they don't like."
Doctor Lopez recommends unscented moisturizer for all skin types. For those with very dry skin, they can use petroleum jelly a few times a day. Stay away from too hot showers as it can also cause dry skin. And despite the common belief that water may fix your dry skin problem. Doctor Lopez says not so.
Dr. Jorge Lopez Ganja
"It makes more sense for you to moisturizer your skin. Yes because it would not reach the area we want to treat. Overall your health is great with drinking water. It's the best thing in terms of hydrating. In terms of your skin you have to apply a moisturizer."

After all the hype, hysteria and postponement the Suriya starrer Singham 3 has finally hit the screens thursday. The morning shows were cancelled and this disappointed the fans a bit.
But when the film finally released the one man who won all the praise and appreciation was none other than Suriya himself. The star hero and his performance, action and dialogue delivery became the major highlight of the film and gave action lovers some good things to rave about.
Shruthi Haasan was also appreciated a bit in the film which is directed by Hari. The action episodes have worked well but the man who won it all was none other than Suriya.

Elegant Room Features Bathroom in Mudroom by Brooke Wagner Design
By Bruce WayneThis laundry room is very elegant because it features white as the main tone. I love the soft blue touch that appears in the mirror, it gives chic accent to the room. Moreover, every single piece of furniture in this room is well organized. Starting from elegant bidet to clean white large cabinet, my favorite part is on the stripe rug. The washing stand is also good because you don't need to bow your body when you wash your hand. The small window above the sink is also interesting since it can provide ample lighting during daylight time. I simply adore this elegant room.

Do you want to learn how to sew stretch fabric? Winter is just around the corner and what better time to sew something out of cozy stretch fabric! If you have been eyeing off some of my popular knit fabric sewing patterns but haven't yet mustered up the courage to tackle stretch fabrics then keep reading.
A lot of people are initially intimidated by learning how to sew stretch fabric. I have to admit I was once one of them.
When you get the hang of it, sewing knits without a serger is really fast, satisfying and best of all has minimal ironing! What more could you want!
How to Sew Stretch Fabric
The main thing you need to know when learning how to sew stretch fabric is that your seams need to have the same stretch qualities as your fabric.
If it doesn't then the stitches may break in your finished garment. This is preventable by using some of the stitches available on most modern sewing machines.
If you have a serger, then you are in luck! Serged seams have an elasticity that makes them perfect for sewing knits. Read how to use a serger, including sewing curves, corners and starting and ending.
Before you start you will need the right equipment.
If you use a regular sewing needle in your machine it may cause skipped stitches and holes in knit fabrics. This is easily preventable by switching to a ball-point or stretch needle.
Generally, ball-point needles are suitable for stable knits and stretchy knits and stretch needles are better for elastic and super stretch knits such as swim and dance lycra.
Refer to the needle manufacturers recommendations. Popular brands include Klasse and Schmetz. You will also need to match the thickness of your fabric to the size of the needles.
A strengthened polyester thread usually works better than a cotton thread for stretch fabrics as it is less likely to break. When sewing leotard patterns or swimsuit patterns, polyester is less likely to rot from sweat or chlorine.
If you only have a cotton thread on hand try loosening the tension in your bobbin.
How to Sew Stretch Fabric – Best Stitches
Your sewing machine manual is probably a great place to start deciding on the best stitch for your fabric. Otherwise, if it is buried under a mound of books or otherwise hiding somewhere in your house, grab a scrap of knit fabric and try some of the below stitches. My preference is always option 1, the narrow zig-zag stitch.
5 Stretch Stitches to Use with your Regular Machine
- Zig-zag
- 3 Step zig-zag
- Stretch stitch
- Lightning stitch
- Straight stitch
Option 1: Zig Zag
If you don't have a sewing machine with a lot of fancy stitches, a basic zig zag stitch will do the trick.
Just set it to a narrow width stitch. Try on a scrap of fabric a width of 0.5 – 1.0 and a length of 3.0.
Option 2: Three Step Zig-Zag
Another stitch you can use is a 3 step zig-zag stitch. Each zig-zag has 3 tiny stitches.
This stitch gives a lot of stretch and is suitable for all kinds of stretch including really stretchy lycra.
Because of the multiple stitches in the zig-zag, it does take longer to sew seams with this stitch.
Option 3: Stretch Stitch (triple stitch)
Your machine may also have a "stretch straight" stitch where the machine goes forward two stitches and back one stitch each cycle. It does take a little longer to stitch seams using this stitch but the results can be worth it.
Option 4: Lightning Stitch
Lightning stitch is similar to a small zig-zag except the stitches are slightly angled. From a distance, the stitches look almost straight. I find that on my machine, this stitch does stretch out the fabric slightly so do a test on a scrap first.
Option 5: Straight Stitch
As a last resort, if your machine is really basic you can use your regular straight stitch.
Gently stretch the fabric as you sew. When you let go the fabric relaxes and the stitches will retain some stretch.
You may find the stitches look a little loopy but this will prevent them breaking when the fabric is stretched.
MORE TIps for How to Sew Stretch Fabric
Tip #1: Fabric Choice
Choose a knit fabric that has the appropriate amount of stretch factor to match your sewing pattern.
The pattern may specify 20%, 50%, 75% stretch factor. If you are a beginner, choose a stable knit pattern and fabric with a small amount of stretch. Generally, thicker knits are easier to sew then thinner knits.
When I was learning to sew knits, I found the easiest fabrics to sew were cotton sweatshirt fabrics as they didn't curl up and weren't overly stretchy under the machine foot.
TIP #2: Sewing Lycra and Spandex
Sewing Lycra and Spandex is essentially the same as learning how to sew stretch fabric, but I have an additional article especially on sewing leotards with extra tips and tricks. Because most dance and swimwear fabric has a stretch factor of at least 75% the stretch needles and a teflon foot are even more important than for regular knits.
TIP #3: Best Stretch FABRIC Patterns
Did you know that Treasurie sewing patterns have some of the best knit fabric patterns? All the patterns can be sewn with a regular sewing machine and come with simple instructions that even beginners can understand.
TIP #4: Pre-Washing
Knits tend to shrink more than woven fabrics so pre-washing is especially important especially if you are using a rayon knit which can shrink up to 10%. That's a whole size difference!
When you are drying your stretch fabric, lay it out flat so it doesn't stretch out and press it gently before cutting.
TIP #5: Cutting
Use pattern weights instead of pins to stop holes in your fabric. Alternatively, use specially designed knit fabric pins. (Read: types of pins).
Also, when cutting, keep your fabric flat and ensure it is not stretched out. A common reason knits stretch while you are cutting is when they are hanging over the edge of the table. Cutting on a larger table or on the floor (if your back can handle it) is an alternative.
TIP #6: Curling Fabrics
Some knits curl at the edges making them hard to sew. If you press the pieces immediately before sewing you can temporarily stop the curling long enough to easily sew a seam.
TIP #7: Sewing Machine Foot
For most knits, a regular presser foot will suffice, but for slippery or sticky fabrics, a Teflon sewing foot can really help the foot glide over the fabric.
You can also use a walking foot, but personally, I find them overly bulky for most projects. A walking foot prevents the fabric from sticking to the plate of the foot.
TIP #8: Don't Push or Pull
When you sew the fabric pieces together, take care to guide the fabric gently through the sewing machine's feed dogs. Do not push or pull the fabric.
Setting your machine on a slow speed will make this easier to do.
Some machines may recommend you loosen the pressure so consult your manual to see if this is possible.
TIP #9: Finishing seams
Guess what? You don't need to finish seams in stretch fabric! This is just one of the reasons why knit fabric patterns take about half the time to sew. Unlike woven fabric, knits don't fray on the edges. If you really want to finish the seams, then try a wider zig-zag of width 3.0 and length 3.0.
TIP #10: Hemming
For professional-looking hems, consider learning how to use a twin needle. A twin needle creates a stretch stitch that looks like 2 rows of straight stitches on the right side of the fabric and a small zig-zag on the back.
Twin needles come in different gaps between the needles so you can choose the look you like.
Also, read my article on sewing knit hems which will show you how to sew a hem with a zig-zag stitch.
Hemming tape can help with hems that look stretched out and wrinkled. Another useful machine if you are going to be hemming knits regularly is a coverstitch machine. This machine produces double stitched seams on stretch fabric. Read sewing machine vs serger vs coverstitch to see the differences in these machines.
TIP #11: Fancy Hems
If you are looking for a fancy hem finish, then try a lettuce hem. This curly hem is created by zig-zagging over a folded edge while gently stretching out.
TIP #12: Pressing
Sometimes a stretch seam can look a little stretched out, particularly in areas such as neckbands. A gentle press with steam can help your item back into shape.
Read more about pressing for sewing.
How to Sew Stretch Fabric – In Conclusion
I've tried to make this article comprehensive but if you feel overwhelmed, remember all you really need to start is some stretch needles, a strong thread and a simple zig-zag stitch. Find some stretch scraps to practice or even cut up an old t-shirt to give yourself some confidence to start. Once you realize how easy it is to sew stretch fabric, it will open up a whole new world of sewing patterns and projects you can try.
If you are looking for a couple of free projects to try your new skills then look at:

A small software company contacted us with many corporate needs. As a self-funded startup, the company had added talent before bringing in sales, resulting in a monthly "burn rate" (code name for losing money)of $60k which was rapidly destroying the company. The company utilized a development environment that allowed for creating custom software to automate corporate workflows, saving their customers money. In addition to that, they were developing a Silverlight-based add-on to the Symantec software platform that they believed would represent a useful pull-through sales opportunity for the software giant.
We came in to help them out with two main objectives:
- Stabilize the company's cash flow situation through increasing revenue and reducing expenses.
- Shepherd the new software from development to production as quickly as possible, creating market partnerships to jumpstart sales of the product through increased visibility.
To help them get their balance sheet in order, we leveraged the existing technicians and cross-trained them on related products, allowing their services to be sold to an established market. This reduced bench time significantly and brought in much-needed cash, buying precious time for the development efforts to be completed.
We worked with industry giant Intel to leverage marketing funds for their vPro initiative and created marketing videos and went to trade shows touting how this software solution would extend PC management. In addition, we leveraged relationships with Symantec to get marketing exposure to their customer base, creating excitement and demand for the product. In addition to creating excitement, it allowed for the company to sell services while those customers considered the new software package.

This is demonstrated by my journey that, beginning with traditional decorative techniques, has gradually drifted towards an increasingly more profound research into materials, experimenting with the audacious and risky matching of supposedly incompatible components, much like my parents. Sometimes, via mysterious alchemic reactions, the materials give life to surprising results of aesthetic and conceptual harmony. Opposing visions, but indispensable to each other, like the results of my experiments on materials."

This dish was easy to make, but I was disappointed by it. I thought it was kind of bland! Husband liked it, but I thought it was kind of dry and lacking something. The pasta sauce I used had artichokes in it, but even that wasn't enough. Next time I would add more sauce (to make up for the dryness), and maybe some diced black olives.
