The Lord's Charge to Joshua
1 After the death of Moses the Lord's servant, the Lord spoke to Joshua son of Nun, Moses' assistant. He said, 2 "Moses my servant is dead. Therefore, the time has come for you to lead these people, the Israelites, across the Jordan River into the land I am giving them. 3 I promise you what I promised Moses: 'Wherever you set foot, you will be on land I have given you— 4 from the Negev wilderness in the south to the Lebanon mountains in the north, from the Euphrates River in the east to the Mediterranean Sea[a] in the west, including all the land of the Hittites.' 5 No one will be able to stand against you as long as you live. For I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will not fail you or abandon you.
6 "Be strong and courageous, for you are the one who will lead these people to possess all the land I swore to their ancestors I would give them. 7 Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them, turning either to the right or to the left. Then you will be successful in everything you do. 8 Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. 9 This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
Joshua's Charge to the Israelites
10 Joshua then commanded the officers of Israel, 11 "Go through the camp and tell the people to get their provisions ready. In three days you will cross the Jordan River and take possession of the land the Lord your God is giving you."
12 Then Joshua called together the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. He told them, 13 "Remember what Moses, the servant of the Lord, commanded you: 'The Lord your God is giving you a place of rest. He has given you this land.' 14 Your wives, children, and livestock may remain here in the land Moses assigned to you on the east side of the Jordan River. But your strong warriors, fully armed, must lead the other tribes across the Jordan to help them conquer their territory. Stay with them 15 until the Lord gives them rest, as he has given you rest, and until they, too, possess the land the Lord your God is giving them. Only then may you return and settle here on the east side of the Jordan River in the land that Moses, the servant of the Lord, assigned to you."
16 They answered Joshua, "We will do whatever you command us, and we will go wherever you send us. 17 We will obey you just as we obeyed Moses. And may the Lord your God be with you as he was with Moses. 18 Anyone who rebels against your orders and does not obey your words and everything you command will be put to death. So be strong and courageous!"
Rahab Protects the Spies
2 Then Joshua secretly sent out two spies from the Israelite camp at Acacia Grove.[b] He instructed them, "Scout out the land on the other side of the Jordan River, especially around Jericho." So the two men set out and came to the house of a prostitute named Rahab and stayed there that night.
2 But someone told the king of Jericho, "Some Israelites have come here tonight to spy out the land." 3 So the king of Jericho sent orders to Rahab: "Bring out the men who have come into your house, for they have come here to spy out the whole land."
4 Rahab had hidden the two men, but she replied, "Yes, the men were here earlier, but I didn't know where they were from. 5 They left the town at dusk, as the gates were about to close. I don't know where they went. If you hurry, you can probably catch up with them." 6 (Actually, she had taken them up to the roof and hidden them beneath bundles of flax she had laid out.) 7 So the king's men went looking for the spies along the road leading to the shallow crossings of the Jordan River. And as soon as the king's men had left, the gate of Jericho was shut.
8 Before the spies went to sleep that night, Rahab went up on the roof to talk with them. 9 "I know the Lord has given you this land," she told them. "We are all afraid of you. Everyone in the land is living in terror. 10 For we have heard how the Lord made a dry path for you through the Red Sea[c] when you left Egypt. And we know what you did to Sihon and Og, the two Amorite kings east of the Jordan River, whose people you completely destroyed.[d] 11 No wonder our hearts have melted in fear! No one has the courage to fight after hearing such things. For the Lord your God is the supreme God of the heavens above and the earth below.
12 "Now swear to me by the Lord that you will be kind to me and my family since I have helped you. Give me some guarantee that 13 when Jericho is conquered, you will let me live, along with my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all their families."
14 "We offer our own lives as a guarantee for your safety," the men agreed. "If you don't betray us, we will keep our promise and be kind to you when the Lord gives us the land."
15 Then, since Rahab's house was built into the town wall, she let them down by a rope through the window. 16 "Escape to the hill country," she told them. "Hide there for three days from the men searching for you. Then, when they have returned, you can go on your way."
17 Before they left, the men told her, "We will be bound by the oath we have taken only if you follow these instructions. 18 When we come into the land, you must leave this scarlet rope hanging from the window through which you let us down. And all your family members—your father, mother, brothers, and all your relatives—must be here inside the house. 19 If they go out into the street and are killed, it will not be our fault. But if anyone lays a hand on people inside this house, we will accept the responsibility for their death. 20 If you betray us, however, we are not bound by this oath in any way."
21 "I accept your terms," she replied. And she sent them on their way, leaving the scarlet rope hanging from the window.
22 The spies went up into the hill country and stayed there three days. The men who were chasing them searched everywhere along the road, but they finally returned without success.
23 Then the two spies came down from the hill country, crossed the Jordan River, and reported to Joshua all that had happened to them. 24 "The Lord has given us the whole land," they said, "for all the people in the land are terrified of us."
The Israelites Cross the Jordan
3 Early the next morning Joshua and all the Israelites left Acacia Grove[e] and arrived at the banks of the Jordan River, where they camped before crossing. 2 Three days later the Israelite officers went through the camp, 3 giving these instructions to the people: "When you see the Levitical priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord your God, move out from your positions and follow them. 4 Since you have never traveled this way before, they will guide you. Stay about half a mile[f] behind them, keeping a clear distance between you and the Ark. Make sure you don't come any closer."
5 Then Joshua told the people, "Purify yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do great wonders among you."
6 In the morning Joshua said to the priests, "Lift up the Ark of the Covenant and lead the people across the river." And so they started out and went ahead of the people.
7 The Lord told Joshua, "Today I will begin to make you a great leader in the eyes of all the Israelites. They will know that I am with you, just as I was with Moses. 8 Give this command to the priests who carry the Ark of the Covenant: 'When you reach the banks of the Jordan River, take a few steps into the river and stop there.'"
9 So Joshua told the Israelites, "Come and listen to what the Lord your God says. 10 Today you will know that the living God is among you. He will surely drive out the Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites, and Jebusites ahead of you. 11 Look, the Ark of the Covenant, which belongs to the Lord of the whole earth, will lead you across the Jordan River! 12 Now choose twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one from each tribe. 13 The priests will carry the Ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth. As soon as their feet touch the water, the flow of water will be cut off upstream, and the river will stand up like a wall."
14 So the people left their camp to cross the Jordan, and the priests who were carrying the Ark of the Covenant went ahead of them. 15 It was the harvest season, and the Jordan was overflowing its banks. But as soon as the feet of the priests who were carrying the Ark touched the water at the river's edge, 16 the water above that point began backing up a great distance away at a town called Adam, which is near Zarethan. And the water below that point flowed on to the Dead Sea[g] until the riverbed was dry. Then all the people crossed over near the town of Jericho.
17 Meanwhile, the priests who were carrying the Ark of the Lord's Covenant stood on dry ground in the middle of the riverbed as the people passed by. They waited there until the whole nation of Israel had crossed the Jordan on dry ground.

For the choir director: A psalm[a] of David useful for teaching, regarding the time David fought Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and Joab returned and killed 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. To be sung to the tune "Lily of the Testimony."
1 You have rejected us, O God, and broken our defenses.
You have been angry with us; now restore us to your favor.
2 You have shaken our land and split it open.
Seal the cracks, for the land trembles.
3 You have been very hard on us,
making us drink wine that sent us reeling.
4 But you have raised a banner for those who fear you—
a rallying point in the face of attack. Interlude
5 Now rescue your beloved people.
Answer and save us by your power.
6 God has promised this by his holiness[b]:
"I will divide up Shechem with joy.
I will measure out the valley of Succoth.
7 Gilead is mine,
and Manasseh, too.
Ephraim, my helmet, will produce my warriors,
and Judah, my scepter, will produce my kings.
8 But Moab, my washbasin, will become my servant,
and I will wipe my feet on Edom
and shout in triumph over Philistia."
9 Who will bring me into the fortified city?
Who will bring me victory over Edom?
10 Have you rejected us, O God?
Will you no longer march with our armies?
11 Oh, please help us against our enemies,
for all human help is useless.
12 With God's help we will do mighty things,
for he will trample down our foes.

Jesus and Zacchaeus
19 Jesus entered Jericho and made his way through the town. 2 There was a man there named Zacchaeus. He was the chief tax collector in the region, and he had become very rich. 3 He tried to get a look at Jesus, but he was too short to see over the crowd. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree beside the road, for Jesus was going to pass that way.
5 When Jesus came by, he looked up at Zacchaeus and called him by name. "Zacchaeus!" he said. "Quick, come down! I must be a guest in your home today."
6 Zacchaeus quickly climbed down and took Jesus to his house in great excitement and joy. 7 But the people were displeased. "He has gone to be the guest of a notorious sinner," they grumbled.
8 Meanwhile, Zacchaeus stood before the Lord and said, "I will give half my wealth to the poor, Lord, and if I have cheated people on their taxes, I will give them back four times as much!"
9 Jesus responded, "Salvation has come to this home today, for this man has shown himself to be a true son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man[a] came to seek and save those who are lost."
Parable of the Ten Servants
11 The crowd was listening to everything Jesus said. And because he was nearing Jerusalem, he told them a story to correct the impression that the Kingdom of God would begin right away. 12 He said, "A nobleman was called away to a distant empire to be crowned king and then return. 13 Before he left, he called together ten of his servants and divided among them ten pounds of silver,[b] saying, 'Invest this for me while I am gone.' 14 But his people hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, 'We do not want him to be our king.'
15 "After he was crowned king, he returned and called in the servants to whom he had given the money. He wanted to find out what their profits were. 16 The first servant reported, 'Master, I invested your money and made ten times the original amount!'
17 "'Well done!' the king exclaimed. 'You are a good servant. You have been faithful with the little I entrusted to you, so you will be governor of ten cities as your reward.'
18 "The next servant reported, 'Master, I invested your money and made five times the original amount.'
19 "'Well done!' the king said. 'You will be governor over five cities.'
20 "But the third servant brought back only the original amount of money and said, 'Master, I hid your money and kept it safe. 21 I was afraid because you are a hard man to deal with, taking what isn't yours and harvesting crops you didn't plant.'
22 "'You wicked servant!' the king roared. 'Your own words condemn you. If you knew that I'm a hard man who takes what isn't mine and harvests crops I didn't plant, 23 why didn't you deposit my money in the bank? At least I could have gotten some interest on it.'
24 "Then, turning to the others standing nearby, the king ordered, 'Take the money from this servant, and give it to the one who has ten pounds.'
25 "'But, master,' they said, 'he already has ten pounds!'
26 "'Yes,' the king replied, 'and to those who use well what they are given, even more will be given. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away. 27 And as for these enemies of mine who didn't want me to be their king—bring them in and execute them right here in front of me.'"
Jesus' Triumphant Entry
28 After telling this story, Jesus went on toward Jerusalem, walking ahead of his disciples. 29 As he came to the towns of Bethphage and Bethany on the Mount of Olives, he sent two disciples ahead. 30 "Go into that village over there," he told them. "As you enter it, you will see a young donkey tied there that no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks, 'Why are you untying that colt?' just say, 'The Lord needs it.'"
32 So they went and found the colt, just as Jesus had said. 33 And sure enough, as they were untying it, the owners asked them, "Why are you untying that colt?"
34 And the disciples simply replied, "The Lord needs it." 35 So they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their garments over it for him to ride on.
36 As he rode along, the crowds spread out their garments on the road ahead of him. 37 When he reached the place where the road started down the Mount of Olives, all of his followers began to shout and sing as they walked along, praising God for all the wonderful miracles they had seen.
38 "Blessings on the King who comes in the name of the Lord!
Peace in heaven, and glory in highest heaven!"[c] 39 But some of the Pharisees among the crowd said, "Teacher, rebuke your followers for saying things like that!"
40 He replied, "If they kept quiet, the stones along the road would burst into cheers!"
Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem
41 But as he came closer to Jerusalem and saw the city ahead, he began to weep. 42 "How I wish today that you of all people would understand the way to peace. But now it is too late, and peace is hidden from your eyes. 43 Before long your enemies will build ramparts against your walls and encircle you and close in on you from every side. 44 They will crush you into the ground, and your children with you. Your enemies will not leave a single stone in place, because you did not recognize it when God visited you.[d]"
Jesus Clears the Temple
45 Then Jesus entered the Temple and began to drive out the people selling animals for sacrifices. 46 He said to them, "The Scriptures declare, 'My Temple will be a house of prayer,' but you have turned it into a den of thieves."[e]
47 After that, he taught daily in the Temple, but the leading priests, the teachers of religious law, and the other leaders of the people began planning how to kill him. 48 But they could think of nothing, because all the people hung on every word he said.
19:10 "Son of Man" is a title Jesus used for himself.
19:13 Greek ten minas; one mina was worth about three months' wages.
19:38 Pss 118:26; 148:1.

22 Listen to your father, who gave you life,

23 Get the truth and never sell it;
also get wisdom, discipline, and good judgment.
24 The father of godly children has cause for joy.
What a pleasure to have children who are wise.[a] 25 So give your father and mother joy!
May she who gave you birth be happy.
26 O my son, give me your heart.
May your eyes take delight in following my ways.
27 A prostitute is a dangerous trap;
a promiscuous woman is as dangerous as falling into a narrow well.
28 She hides and waits like a robber,
eager to make more men unfaithful.
29 Who has anguish? Who has sorrow?
Who is always fighting? Who is always complaining?
Who has unnecessary bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?
30 It is the one who spends long hours in the taverns,
trying out new drinks.
31 Don't gaze at the wine, seeing how red it is,
how it sparkles in the cup, how smoothly it goes down.
32 For in the end it bites like a poisonous snake;
it stings like a viper.
33 You will see hallucinations,
and you will say crazy things.
34 You will stagger like a sailor tossed at sea,
clinging to a swaying mast.
35 And you will say, "They hit me, but I didn't feel it.
I didn't even know it when they beat me up.
When will I wake up
so I can look for another drink?"

My back of the envelope estimate for the total spent by law students on all casebooks and supplemental materials is about $one hundred million per year. Though reading, we will unconsciously memorize the plotline and the character of the story, it was proved by the fact that a person who reads books will pretty much bear in mind all the contents of the book such as the plotline or characters. Eliminating common law by receiving them to think in the artificial entity recognized as the federal government.
A single of my preferred items to do is download a ton of samples to my Kindle, then spend time going by way of each and every one particular and hopefully acquiring new books to read in the approach. I am not saying that these situations never ever succeed, due to the fact they do. They rely on a judge's interpretation of doctor's reports, witness testimony, family members history, popular sense and the law. Extend those estimates to all ABA-authorized law schools, and law students spend a conservative $five million annually.

Viruses are the smallest and simplest type of parasite. They enter the body and take over a living cell just to reproduce. When these viruses do take over these cells, they may cause great damage or even completely kill the invaded cell.
AIDS, which stands for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, is caused by a lethal virus called Human Immunodeficiency Virus, or better known to everybody as HIV. HIV is a fragile virus because it can live outside the human body for only a few minutes. Most regularly, the virus is found in blood, semen, and vaginal secretions of the infected people. However, saliva and tears contain much lower concentrations. Most people think that they can not get HIV, but as we have seen in Magic Johnson's case, even famous celebrities can get this disease. To get infected, HIV has to get past the skin or the mucous membranes and into the bloodstream.
HIV causes the body's immune system to collapse the moment that the bloodstream is infected.
To Understand how HIV weakens the immune system, it is necessary to understand how the immune system works. The immune system is somewhat similar to an army. Thousands of white blood cells are highly organized to fight invading enemies such as the HIV virus and other such infections. White blood cells circulate through the bloodstream and the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is a network of vessels and lymph glands that collect fluid and cells from tissues and deliver them to the bloodstream. The white blood cells can leave the blood vessels, travel between cells, enter the lymphatic system, and eventually return to the bloodstream. These cells patrol the body, searching for foreign invaders and attacking any they find.
When invaders like HIV infect the body, white blood cells called helper T cells...

Automatic Preselector
for our DRM receiver
A PC-controlled receiver is very convenient, especially for DRM, since it makes it easy to locate your favourite stations. However, this advantage is lost if you have a manual preselector and must tune the antenna by hand: an automatic preselector is what you need!With a PLL-controlled receiver things are very simple. The PLL tuning voltage can be used simultaneously to control the first RF stage. Instead of one varicap diode two are used. If DDS tuning is used, then although we have better phase purity, which is a decisive advantage in DRM applications, there is no tuning voltage available for the first stage. What is needed is a circuit to generate a suitable tuning voltage automatically.

Cross dressing artist Grayson Perry has been made a CBE by the Prince of Wales and wore his ''Italian mother of the bride'' outfit for the occasion.
The flamboyant transvestite potter, famed for his ceramic artwork depicting his darkest and most private feelings, said the award was recognition for ''30 years of hard graft''.
The Turner Prize-winning artist regularly appears dressed as his female alter-ego Claire and did not disappoint his fans when he travelled to Buckingham Palace for the investiture ceremony.
Perry wore a midnight blue dress and matching fitted jacket with a wide brimmed black-hat decorated with what looked like ostrich feathers.
Speaking after the ceremony he said: ''Receiving this was great, it's not just for me it's for all the artists - no really it's just for me, for 30 years of hard graft.''
Perry once described Claire as ''a cross between Katie Boyle and Camilla Parker-Bowles'' but when reminded of this he laughed and said: ''This is my Italian mother of the bride outfit''.
He added: ''When I got the call (about the CBE) my first thought was what am I going to wear, it's a serious thing I'm not going to compromise my identity as Britain's pre-eminent transvestite. I googled to see what people wore and went for the sexier end.
''I always do like the older woman who makes an effort.''
A Buckingham Palace spokeswoman said that Perry's ''attire was entirely appropriate''.
Perry is a married family man who spends hours meticulously making ceramic pots and is also a self-styled transvestite.
Born in 1960 in Chelmsford, he began his career at Braintree College of Further Education and then at Portsmouth Polytechnic, where he studied fine art.
Later when he moved to London in the early 1980s he began attending evening pottery classes and developed a strong connection with the medium.
Perry won the Turner Prize in 2003 after being nominated for the piece Claire's Coming Out Dress and a collection of vases depicting the dark recesses of life.
Speaking at the palace, Perry said: "I'm grateful I'm not one of these people who has sky-rocketed to fame.
"Some people say I've become a member of the establishment but I've been that for years. I'm an RA (Royal Academician).
"The idea that rebellion is at the margins of society - that's false, it's far more interesting to be mischievous from the centre."

"Graduation" follows blanco's Gold-certified debut album FRIENDS KEEP SECRETS—streamed more than 1 billion times to date—which featured the global smash hit "Eastside" with Halsey and Khalid, now certified four times Platinum in the U.S. and two times in the U.K. (where it reached #1), with many other accolades worldwide. Earlier this year blanco released the chart topping "I Can't Get Enough" with Selena Gomez, J Balvin and Tainy, streamed hundreds of millions of times and now nominated for an MTV Video Music Award.

Should Los Angeles New Yorkify?
Konrad Fiedler/Bloomberg News
Ah, Hollywood. The idea of it conjures fantasy worlds, but the reality involves a popular but gritty neighborhood that's going through some growing pains. A new rezoning plan is proposing that the low-rise, car-centric Hollywood of yore be replaced by skyscrapers and public transit hubs.
Is this the start of a "New Yorkified" Los Angeles? And if so, is the City of Angels ready?Read the Discussion »

CW Seed Reprising Constantine as Animated Series
Fans of the gritty comic series Constantine were treated to a full season of demon ass-kicking when NBC aired the show back in 2014. Unfortunately, the show was cancelled in 2015 just when things began to take off, and the legend of John Constantine, DC's grungy but likable demon-killer, came to an end. After The CW started streaming Constantine on CW Seed in 2016, rumors began to spread about the series not being done for good. Fortunately, it was announced today that CW Seed will, in fact, be taking over his story, bringing the show back as an animated series, much to the excitement of viewers everywhere.
The announcement showed up on Twitter this morning, before being retweeted by Matt Ryan himself. Ryan, who took the show by storm in the original series with his spot-on interpretation of the titular character, will be reprising his role as Constantine in the animated series, while Greg Berlanti, overseer of the CW's other DC based shows, will also be producing the show. Previously, Constantine had reprised his role on an episode of Arrow shortly after the show's cancellation, though that singular episode was the only time Constantine had seen television audiences since the show's freshman season finale.

So far, there has been no word on whether or not the remainder of the NBC show's original cast will be joining Matt Ryan in voicing the rest of the characters. According to Deadline, there will be about five to six, 10-minute episodes for the series premiering sometime in the 2017-2018 TV season. For more information, check back with us frequently as we follow the story for Constantine's animated plot. In the meantime, check out this article on an upcoming DC show by DC Film's president Geoff Johns that is as of yet unannounced to keep yourselves entertained until more word comes on the demon-slayer's ongoing story.
So, what do you think of the announcement on this upcoming animated series? Are you excited for a chance to see John Constantine back in action? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below! As always, keep it parked right here at Don't Feed the Gamers for more glorious gaming, comic, and entertainment news!

The world may not be "right" on a lot of days, but it's certainly a right-handed world. Left-handers - estimated at 10-15% of all people - get a raw deal. Scissors, golf clubs, special non-smudging pens (think about writing on paper with your left, right-handers!), jar openers, gardening tools and more… All are specialized products you may need if you are left-handed.
And then there are guitars. Many years ago, left-handers simply adapted as best they could. Albert King simply flipped his guitar and played upside-down, bass E-string at the top. Jimi Hendrix used right-handed guitars but re-strung them for left-hand playing. Some left-handers - Gary Moore, Mark Knopfler, Billy Corgan, Paul Simon and others - learned to play "right-handed," and with stunning results. But some people only play left-handed…
Many left handed guitar players have learned to play the guitar using an instrument designed for a right handed artist. Unfortunately, many left handed musicians find it awkward to master strumming the guitar with their less coordinated, non-dominant hand. This is because strumming the guitar takes more strength and dexterity than holding the cords along the guitar's neck. Reversing the strings on a right handed guitar is not the same as purchasing a left handed instrument. Because left handed guitars are specialty musical equipment, finding a guitar that meets individual needs and accommodates the player's style is more difficult for a left handed guitarist than it is for a right handed guitarist.
As a professional guitar custom shop, we totally understand the trouble for a left handed guitarist to choose an ideal and suitable guitar.Among all of the guitar styles, the number of left hand versions guitars is so miserly small! As for left handed relic guitars, the situation turns even worse! But in our custom shop, you are the most welcomed customers. No matter which guitars you are interested in, we can make it left handed for you, no problem! And you can even just send us pictures of a right handed guitar, we can easily change it to the left one. Amazing, isn't it?
And remember, not being "right" doesn't mean you are wrong. You are left.
This is our custom made left handed SRV guitar.
Tips for left-handers
Luke Morley's view is clearly that of one player. We're all different, whether right or left-handed. But as this diagram shows (from LeftHandersDay.com) naturally left-handed people tend to veer towards the artistic.
In short, the brain's left hemisphere (right-handed dominance) controls speech, language, writing, logic, mathematics, science – it's called the Linear Thinking Mode. The brain's right hemisphere (left-handed dominance) controls music, art, creativity, perception, emotions and, apparently, "genius." This is known as the Holistic Thinking Mode. Hey, left-handers get the fun stuff! So, what can you do to maximize your left-hand playing?
1. Get a proper set-up
If you flip a right-handed guitar over and re-string – like Jimi Hendrix – get your "new" guitar set-up properly. Bridge, nut and action will all be affected by re-stringing.
2. Buy left-handed products
Left-handers' chord and scale books are now widely available, such as this Hal Leonard Tutorial Book for beginners. If you can "get by" with regular right-hander tutorials, fine, but your brain may find it easier to deal with bespoke "leftism" tools.
3. Learn more
Lefties help each other. LeftyFretz has good and free l/h resources for guitarists. Uncommon Sound is a huge book devoted to studying left-handed guitarists.
4. Buy a left-handed guitar
When selecting a guitar for purchase, it is important to begin by setting both a purpose and a budget. This will help narrow the field of options early in the process, and give the buyer a more manageable list of guitar models to choose from. Read reviews of the guitars online. If possible, try to investigate what others who have purchased each guitar are saying about its performance. Make a list of pros and cons for each model. Read product information guides and details for each guitar as well. Find out what type of wood the main body of the guitar and the neck are made from. You can then choose to either shop online or offline at music stores for the guitar that's right for you.

What is it?
Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a system that was created to model how successful people excel in what they do. NLP found that the language we use is based on the way we think. It has since been used in the fields of advertising, marketing, therapy and advertising to persuade people and facilitate positive change.
What does it do?
NLP knows that behaviour is only the tip of the iceberg. If someone tells us to stop smoking, start running, watch less tv and eat healthier there is no chance we will do these things if they don't correspond to who we think we are and what we believe in. And if we don't believe in those things then I would suggest we shouldn't do them anyway , they'll only make us less happy, not more!
To change all one needs to do is focus on their values, beliefs and identity and the behaviour will change 'by itself'. We have many conflicting ideas and feelings about health. Many of us may even feel that we are not 'that type' of person - who runs or stops running, who eats regularly, could quit (or stay in) their job, etc. NLP helps the client clarify where they are at now. It may be that we have changed substantially from the last time we considered these kinds of questions - in teenagehood for many of us. Coaching helps integrate this 'new' information and enables us to make informed decisions about the behaviours that now serve us best.

This species breeds in both the North Atlantic and North Pacific Oceans. but it winters much farther south, reaching waters off of Peru in the Pacific Ocean and to South Africe in the Atlantic. During the nonbreeding season, the species is primarily pelagic, generally only being found close inshore during storms. Leach's Storm-Petrel feeds on crustacea, small fish and small invertebrates, taken on the surface, and it sometimes follows cetaceans while foraging.

Top Chef Seattle and other cooking competitions bring the heat from the kitchen to your TV
Whether you're a master in the kitchen or an expert at ordering takeout, there's something for everyone in the world of reality cooking competitions. Here's a taste of the most delectable shows out there:
Top Chef: Seattle – Bravo – Wednesdays at 9 PM
Top Chef headed to Seattle for it's 10th season with judges Tom Colicchio, Hugh Acheson, Gail Simmons, Emeril Lagasse, Padma Lakshmi and new addition Wolfgang Puck . Chefs competed in two challenges during each episode. These included a Quickfire round in which their basic skills were tested and an elimination challenge that required creativity. At the end of each episode, one or sometimes more chefs were eliminated and asked to "pack up their knives." After 16 episodes of competition, two chefs remain. The last chef standing on tonight's season finale will win $125,000, a feature in Food & Wine magazine and the title of Top Chef.
Iron Chef America – Food Network – Sundays at 11PM
Resident chefs battle outside challengers in this show based on the popular Japanese series Iron Chef.

Chopped – Food Network – Tuesdays at 10 PM

Estate Maximization
We assist you in the design and implementation of programs to help ensure that your wealth is passed along to family or others, without being negatively impacted by estate or inheritance taxes. This service enables you to plan your personal estate to help ensure maximum distribution and conservation to future generations.
Retirement Maximization
Having the ability to retire comfortably and free from financial pressures remains the main issue for our clients - both business owners and employees. It is critical that the retirement plan be properly designed, implemented, communicated and administered. Retirement plans are dynamic, changing as client's businesses and tax laws change. They demand continued and careful analysis, IRS compliance review and plan administration. The appropriateness of a "qualified" or "non-qualified" plan for any individual is determined based on the individual's existing financial condition, as well as on his or her goals and dreams.
College Funding
We will work with you to tell you if your current savings strategy will cover your child's college expenses. Do you dream of your child or grandchild going to college? Higher education comes with a high price tag, but it's an expense you can meet through proper financial planning. Let us help you calculate college costs, evaluate funding options and create an education strategy tailored to your goals.
Options may include:
Will/Trust Analysis
Wills and Trusts are just tools in the larger process of "estate Maximization." There is an unfortunate, widespread misconception that this topic is a subject of interest only to the wealthy. In fact, an estate plan provides the legal mechanism for disposing of property upon death in a way that recognizes your wishes and the needs of your survivors, while minimizing taxes. For many it involves, even more importantly, planning for the handling of affairs in case of disability, and the deeply personal medical choices to be made as life nears its end. Estate planning is not just for rich people. Trusts can play an important role in providing order to your financial affairs, assisting with your tax planning, simplifying your estate settlement and providing guidance for your family and other heirs.
Asset Management
Asset management helps our clients enhance their wealth by maximizing after-tax return with a reasonable level of risk. To accomplish this objective, we integrate active portfolio management with a commitment to after-tax strategies across all appropriate asset classes. We work closely with you to design and manage a strategy that complements your specific investment objectives. Your asset allocation can consist of quality money market funds, well-researched equities, and investment quality fixed income obligations.
Life Insurance Ownership Management
Insurance is an important part of a complete financial plan. It protects your heirs in the event of your death, and it can protect you in the event of a disability. We can help you determine what type of coverage is best for you. We can provide access to insurance products, including term life, whole life, universal life, variable life, survivorship, single premium, long-term care and long-term disability income insurance. As you build relationships and share financial information with us, we are in a unique position to provide guidance and determine which insurance products are best for you.
Long Term Care
There's a good chance that you may need to pay for nursing home, assisted living or home health care one day. In fact, more than half of the U.S. population will require long-term care at some point in their lives. Long-term care involves helping you with the most intimate aspects of your life, like what and where you'll eat and your personal hygiene. Unfortunately, this kind of care is expensive. You probably shouldn't assume that Uncle Sam will help. Medicare does not cover most long-term care costs. Medicaid benefits are only available to you when you've depleted all of your assets. We will help you protect yourself against long-term care expenses with the appropriate coverage.

OSGART is a library that simplifies the development of Augmented Reality or Mixed Reality applications by combining the well-known ARToolKit tracking library (and other tracking libraries) with OpenSceneGraph.
Rather than acting just as a simple nodekit, the library offers 3 main functionalities: high level integration of video input (video object, shaders), spatial registration (marker-based, multiple trackers), and photometric registration (occlusion, shadow). The modular library is based on a plugins system allowing to easily add your own video or tracker plugin. At this date the library supports a wide range of video plugin (on windows, mac or linux) as a of tracker plugin (ARToolKit, ARToolKit++, in-house NFT tracking library, model-based tracker, etc).
With OSGART, users gain the benefit of all the features of OpenSceneGraph (high quality renderer, multiple file type loaders, community nodekits like osgAL, etc.) directly in their augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR) or mediated reality applications.
As with the standard ARToolKit, the user can thus develop and prototype interactive applications that can use tangible interaction (in C++, Python, Lua, Ruby etc.).
OSGART Version 1.1 of the software is available under a Dual Licence Mode (GPL and Commercial) through ARToolWorks.
OSGART Version 2.0 is available under a GPL license on the OSGART official website.

Construction workers in Texas whose employers use the Associated Builders and Contractors' Safety Performance Evaluation Process, also known as STEP, may be less likely to be injured on the job than those who work for employers who do not. ABC found that reportable safety incidents can be reduced by 85 percent and overall company safety may go up by as much as 670 percent when companies use STEP.
Building collapse kills worker in Texas
A construction worker was killed and several more were injured after the unexplained collapse of a large metal structure being erected on the campus of a Texas high school. The accident happened around 7:40 a.m. on April 2 while a team of workers was building new construction on the campus of Argyle High School in Denton County.
Worker performing maintenance crushed by trailer
Unsafe working environments and occupational hazards continue to play a significant role in incidents of workplace injuries, and some of these incidents have led to serious injury or even death. One accident that took place on Feb. 4, 2015, in Texas, for example, demonstrates the critical need for safety measures to be implemented and properly maintained for reliable functioning.

The resulting explosion injured both men and started a fire that severely damaged the vacant Waco home. The exact cause of the incident is being investigated by officials.
Construction work in Texas is a deadly gambit
Construction work is dangerous work. But construction work in Texas is more dangerous than it should be. There are numerous factors that lead to the higher than expected death toll from construction workplace accidents, ranging from no requirement for workers' compensation to the increasing use of independent contractors, which greatly reduces the potential liability to the general contractor.
Always remember motor vehicles when thinking of workplace safety
When we think of workplace safety, we may think of specific, situations that require the use of the proper safety equipment for specialized conditions, such as fall protection for roofing workers or breathing apparatus for workers who have to enter confined spaces. This equipment and the proper training to use it, is essential for a large number of workers.
Texas plant injury could result in $181,000 in penalties
Many industrial plants pose a great many risks of workplace accidents to workers. There often are large machines, with moving belts, augurs, grinders, presses and other powerful equipment that can easily crush or kill a worker should they become entangled in the workings of the machine.
Texas mechanic crushed while working on dump truck
The owner of a trucking company says that he asked a man he knew through his brother to work on a dump truck to get it working for the summer season. The truck apparently was parked at the home of mother of the trucking company owner in Longview, Texas.

Arizona: Mexican Trouble
Posted by Socrates in illegal immigration, immigration, mestizos, Mexcrement, Mexican mentality, Mexico, Mexinvasion, Socrates at 5:45 pm | Permanent Link
More proof that this isn't your country anymore, White man. White people pass immigration laws, Mexicans ignore them. The Mexicans will eventually take over the entire Southwest without firing a shot. (That will be one big "hate crime" against Whites).

When I was a kid (or young adult for those who don't like the word used for a baby goat = "kid"), my mom and dad would always make sure I said "Yes Ma'am" or "Yes Sir" to the adults.
I always chalked it up to old fashioned values, and my mom being from rural Marion & then Murray, Kentucky, and my dad from growing up on a prosperous West Tennessee farm.
I have a lot of respect for mom and dad, it's just that it sounds funny when my dad, in his 70's, would address another adult in their late 90's in the same manner as you'd picture a country school boy from the 1800's adressing a customer at the country store…"Yeesss Ma'am" or "Yeess Sir" to this elederly person.
Now, as I began to get a few years ahead of me, into my teens, I sometimes thought my folks ways were a bit old-fashioned, but sensible. Dad would always say that I would think they were a lot smarter the older I got, but simply because he made that statement, I refused to accept it well into my twenties, just to show him he was wrong!
Still, though, that leading by example would become ingrained in me for years, so I began mimicking their training and action. After a quick "Yes Sir", I would often have an adult say, just call me "Bill", so wanting to please both Bill and my parents, I would call him "Mr. Bill", (laugh) or maybe that was "Mr. Dave".
Mr. Bill was a cartoon character that one of my cousins in California helped draw. Most people my age don't remember Mr. Bill, "oh my!".
Well, anyway, now sometimes when I drive I listen to NPR. It's not that I necessarily endorse NPR's sometimes liberal slant, it's just that I get tired of hearing repetitive music piped from a computer controlled satellite beaming the same twenty top-twenty songs from the 70's to a local radio station, where a DJ can't mix it up a bit, or throw in the occasional unheard of artist from the era. Anyhow, I digress, as usual.
A few weeks ago on NPR, as I was listening and sensibly driving the speed limit through town, a moderator and lady were talking about the use of the phrase "Ma'am". Apparently some women don't take to the term, because of several reasons, some of them feeling it makes them feel old, and others because they simply don't think the term really identifies anything relative to them being a human being, and muddles the conversation. They simply prefer being addressed with no preconceived "prefix" or just by their name, and although I'd have thought the idea was a concoction of feminist extremism in the past, it seems a sensible enough request now that it was explained to me via this program.
So that leads me to my point, with Misters and Misses aside, where has common courtesy gone today?
Following along the same logic as here-to-for mentioned, many of the so-called 'adults' today no longer deserve the term of respect "adult" unless we are to use the term as I use it to describe bugs and insects, and that is when I describe them as having achieved a state of physical, though not necessarily mental, progress.
Now, I don't mean this towards adults who treat younger adults like myself (35 years gained as of May) with respect and courtesy, I mean those "adults", or age-increased homo-sapians, who don't seem to have the time of day to lend a full minute or two to a young person who is trying to make a place for themselves in society ("themselfs" is an elf that isn't spelled right, according to Mr. Spell Checker).
It really burns me to go into a local business, just a half block from my home and my office, some of whom belong to the same Chamber of Commerce I just joined, and they don't offer me the basic welcome fitting of a member of their neighborhood, or existence. This same lack of common courtesy often manifests itself in customer courtesy when we hire service people or when dealing with sales people. And it is getting worse. After all, many of the "adults" have failed to lead by example for the "kids". Being someone who has a lack of self-esteem, occasionally, I take it as personal, but I simply have to remember that it is that they simply don't have the respect or care for human beings in general that I or others may have.
The only problem with this is that it trickles down, and when we stop being that example, whether we're in our teens, thirties, or seventies, that example stops getting passed down. These ideals of respect for the human population gets lost, and as a society we start maturing primarily based on age rather than on knowledge, contribution, respect, and caring.

Sweet Heart.
Today I have made a start on a Valentine cake for my son and his girlfriend. She has a bit of a 'thing' for butter icing so I think she is going to love this 'Box of Chocs' cake. The box itself is all cake. It is based on a heart shaped madeira sponge cake with raspberry jam and butter cream filling covered with red sugarpaste/fondant icing and decorated with a string of tiny white sugarpaste blossom flowers and a white sugarpaste lace insert. There is room 'inside' the 'box' for 8 chocolate sweets…
…The secret is that the chocolates – which I will make tomorrow – are not your standard, everyday chocolates but are chocolate covered 'cake balls'….chocolate sponge cake crumbs bound together with buttercream icing and enrobed with milk chocolate.
The inspiration for this cake has come from Bakerella who has a wonderfully inspirational website/blog and has a tutorial for this cake on her site. If you have a bit of a sweet tooth, grab yourself a cup of coffee and have a visual feast there that will make you drool!!
As a first attempt I am fairly happy with this but I have a few things I would alter if I did another one. And tomorrow will be another 'first' as I attempt to make my chocolate covered cake balls to go into the sweetie cups.
And, hopefully, a tasty photo to head tomorrow's Thing-a-Day post from me!

NETCENTS Task Order Includes Management, Operation and Support for Military's Organizational Messaging Nerve Center
ASHBURN, Va. – November 30, 2010 – Telos® Corporation has been awarded a task order by the United States Army Information Technology Agency (USAITA) to provide Defense Message System (DMS) support at the Pentagon Telecommunications Center (PTC). The one-year contract includes one option year and is worth more than $32 million if all options are exercised.
Under the contract awarded from the Network Centric Solutions (NETCENTS) contract vehicle, Telos will assist the PTC with integrating, operating and maintaining a single, integrated DMS at three security levels. The PTC is the Army's nerve center in the Pentagon for operating and managing the critical IT infrastructure related to secure, organizational messaging.
Telos will continue to operate and maintain the DMS, providing 24x7x365 customer service support for facilities in the National Capitol region and beyond. The scope of the work includes all functions, services and tasks associated with the management and operation of DMS at the PTC. These services support the PTC for all command and control messaging systems and associated infrastructure and interfaces located in the Pentagon and alternate locations.
"DMS securely sends and tracks official communications for command and control purposes, delivering secure message traffic from one organization to another, providing official orders or guidance to the receiving organization, and transmitting officially recognized intelligence information," said Frank Whitehead, senior vice president and general manager, Secure Solutions at Telos Corporation. "It is the vital backbone on which other secure organizational messaging applications, such as the Automated Message Handling System (AMHS), reside."
Telos has provided support to PTC for the last eight years. Telos' partners for the base year services in this contract include Data Systems Analysts, Inc., Web Business Solutions, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin and UHD.
Telos serves as a prime contractor on the five-year, $9 billion NETCENTS contract vehicle. NETCENTS is an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract that provides the Air Force, the Department of Defense and other federal agencies with a single vehicle through which to buy network-centric information technologies, networking equipment, and services, as well as voice, video and data communications hardware and software and telephony solutions from preferred contractors. NETCENTS provides a proven competitive edge for the federal government by reducing the time-to-market for critical networking and communications equipment and services.

Challenges and Megatrends
The commitment to sustainable development demanded by the global challenges and megatrends has precipitated changes in the economic environment. Buildings, infrastructure facilities, installations and vehicles are now constructed and used differently from in the past. Low-energy houses and cars, for example, are increasingly becoming the norm. The rising demand for sustainable products is changing both Sika's target markets and the requirements placed on its products. Sika is determined to help shape these change processes proactively through innovation.
Sustainably Developed Products
Top priority is given here to sustainably developed and manufactured products that enhance durability and promote the efficient use of energy, water and materials. The following challenges are particularly relevant to Sika:
- Climate change and regulation of the carbon economy
- Population growth and urbanization
- Energy costs and repercussions for climate
- Raw materials
- Water shortages as well as poor water quality
The earth's climate is changing faster than ever before. The consequences are manifold and affect us all.
The demand for natural resources is increasing, driven by a growing population and higher spending power.
Water is the oil of the 21st century. With growing population, urbanisation and climate change, it is becoming a scarce commodity.
There are few projects on which more money is spent than on the construction and maintenance of infrastructure.

by Don
(Fargo ND)
I've had it for the better part of 6 years. It's constant but also causes disequilibrium. Two chiropractors have tried to correct it and have not been able to do it.
Can you direct me to someone, in or near North Dakota that is proficient in fixing the problem?
I would love to have someone help me with the Epley maneuvers.
I was told by the ear doctor after a simple hearing test that I have vertical positional vertigo. I think that's what he called it. He gave me some instructions on how to fix it but they never did anything.
But I still don't really know if the nystagmus causes the
disequilibrium or or if it's an ear problem as I have been reading on many sites on the web.
Hello Don,
I would phone your North Dakota Chiropractic association and ask if there's a member who is able to do the Epley manoeuvres. Regular adjusting of the neck is not likely to help.
If you are unable to find anyone, then you'll have to try a neurologist.
Meantime, you might try the Brandt Daroff habituation exercises.
An ear infection can cause this, but not likely after all this time; you are probably suffering from benign positional paroxysmal vertigo, or BPPV.
The Epleys and BD exercises will provoke the condition; don't be concerned about that; just keep at it.

Interesting challenges of the day
1. Mr S is a 76 year old man with neck pain of some 9 months duration. Luckily, most of the discomfort is upper cervical which is only rarely arthritic; his lower cervical spine is a degenerative mess that I've left alone. After seven treatments his pain and stiffness is 50 percent better, and he's happy in the circumstances. He can sleep through the night now and that makes a huge difference.
2. Mr P is 32 year old man with very severe lower back pain radiating to the big toe which is 30 percent numb. He had an episode three weeks ago, took anti inflammatories and was soon better as is typical of the medial disc herniation. But before it healed, after a trivia it came roaring back, much worse. The characteristic crossed sign was evident; sitting in a chair, straightening the right leg provoked severe left back pain and tingling in the leg. He's doing well.
3. Severe lower back pain is scary; just ask Mrs P. Just watching her get out of the car I she was in trouble; she had a slipped disc at L4 making her lean towards the opposite side; luckily she had no pain in the leg. Despite family pressure that this was far too severe for a chiropractor, she persevered. Within five days she was standing upright, and after two weeks almost painfree.
Despite a hectic job, she wisely took my advice and stayed home for what I call exercising bed rest.
4. Mr S has had lower back, groin and back of thigh and calf pain for fourth months.
He has a pincer deformity in the hip causing the stabs in the groin, and a degenerative facet causing the sciatica. Both are responding well to chiropractic and he's well pleased; sixty five percent better after three treatments.
5. Mr T is a wise man; he's taken a warning TIA seriously and has lost 15 pounds, and has at least as much again to lose. A change to a low starch diet and half hour daily walk has made the difference; but the walking is making his foot and back miserable. The expensive orthotic is hopeless; luckily his hips and back are fine, but he needs a simple heel lift.
6. I too have had serious lower back issues, luckily fixed by my own chiropractor; so I too have to do my exercises, take care when lifting supers full of honey, gardening and using the chainsaw. Regaining the function of your spine is just as important as the pain.
7. My own granddaughter, only 7 is hypermobile giving her pelvic, knee and ankle issues. Xrays show a mildly dysplastic hip. Years ago we would have called it growing pains. She too regularly needs chiropractic care and luckily responds well. Increased range of motion is more difficult than too stiff in my opinion. Our care is for kids too.
8. This 65 year old lady is a serious gardener; every day she is bending, lifting and digging for 2 to 3 hours a day. It regularly catches her in the sacroiliac joint, so she has a treatment once a month that sorts it out. She does her lower back exercises faithfully.
9. This 88 year old lady is an inspiration; every day she is busy in the community. With a nasty scoliosis she manages very well with a chiropractic adjustment every six weeks and exercises faithfully done.
10. Mr X is a 71 year old retired man who wants to continue with maintenance care every six to eight weeks; he had suffered from two years of lower back pain when he first came a year ago. He has no discomfort now after 8 chiropractic treatments, but is aware that danger lurks.
11. Mrs C has been having severe headaches, and taking a lot of analgesics. It's a non complicated upper cervical facet syndrome, and she's doing well.
12. Mr D is a 38 old year man with chronic shoulder pain after a rotator cuff tear playing cricket. It responded well to treatment, but he knows he must do his exercises every day; for two years he couldn't sleep on that shoulder.
13. Mr D, a 71 year old man, has a severe ache in the shoulder and midback since working above his head. Trapped nerve tests are negative but he has advanced degenerative joints of Luschka; after just two treatments he is 50 percent better. Can we reach 90?
And so the day goes; chiropractors shouldn't be treating the elderly most medical sites state but that's so much bunkum.
Have a problem that's not getting better? Looking for a different slant on your pain? Want to pose a question?
CLS writes:
Greetings, Dr B.
You helped me quite some time back with a soothing and professional response which turned out to be exactly correct. I now consult a local chiropractor. You write a superb newsletter, too.
Your own unresolved problem. Pose a question
Knowing that up to 70% of the time the correct diagnosis is made with no examination, no special tests, no xrays, but just from the history, there's a fair chance I can add some insight to your unresolved problem. But at least 30% of the time, I may be quite wrong! Give plenty of detail if you want a sensible reply.
You visited this chiropractic help site no doubt because you have a problem that is not resolving and want to know more about what chiropractors do.
The quickest and most interesting way is to read one of my ebooks of anecdotes. Described by a reader as gems, both funny and healthful, from the life and work of a chiropractor, you'll love them. Priced right at $2.99, though Kindle fiddles the price without telling me.

My grandmother has always told me that every legend, every nightmare, every story started with some shred, some bit, some thread of truth in it. Somewhere, in the beginning, or a very long time ago, there was a...something....someone...who started it all; and of course as everything does, those threads grew.
Sometimes, they would be added to and woven into other things until the end result would be a huge tapestry the world would agree on. Other times, those threads would split and the tapestries would be colored depending on the cultures who housed them. Yet, even more often...the threads would start in the same place, but through the eyes of different perspectives, being told differently until no one really knew which person was telling the truth, and which one was a drunken, or traumatized victim of some nameless monster.
The fun thing about being a writer is three-fold in these threads.
First, we get to decide whether to use an existing thread or create of our own. Take for example Star Wars, such a tale was definitely a thread all it's own. Wait, or was it? The idea of sentient beings from another place was no new idea. However the plot, the creatures, the entire world building; yes, definitely a brand new thread. Whereas so many of our paranormal romances that we know and love all derive from an existing thread somewhere. Werewolves, vampires, shifters...they all have a history, we've just put a bit of a twist in the romance department, but we definitely use the existing story.
Secondly, once we have our thread we get to mold it. Most of us start from the existing moment wherever we create our world. However, the fun of it is will we move our existing moment into the future? Will we create a story full of science fiction or shall I say science fact to-be? Or move through the trips and turns in a flashing sequence of back and forth memories of a puzzled adult trying to mend the pieces of a broken childhood? I bet we can all name at least three of these such books which were our favorites growing up, no matter what genre they were in. Especially considering so many of the genre's we have today are subsets of what used to be one giant block of books. Today, as readers, we get to be picky, and as a reader, it's something I'm very happy about.
Okay, back on track. Thirdly, the other direction our thread can go is backwards. Back to the beginning. We can unravel the tapestry and reweave a new one. Bring something completely new to the table; introduce the world to a whole new viewpoint of what the world thought they knew about those monsters.
This third one, is what I chose to do with my Atlantean Series. I decided The Ancient City of Atlantis is one such place, and the people who resided there are one such people. There are innumerable stories, tales, imaginings, and legends about Atlantis...so I chose to introduce you to one of my own. In the Atlantean Series, I get to twist and weave a brand new tapestry for you, one where evil isn't as obvious as one might think, and the good are driven by just as many demons as the rest of us are. I guess you could say, that even though they aren't human by creation, they are human in the ways that make us all human. Life.
Of all the tales of The City of Atlantis, only one is true...
After the creation of Earth, God saw that Man was destroying the land, raping it and taking from it what he wanted, leaving the land to die. This was not acceptable, and God decided to save the waters of Earth. He created a race of Women called Atlanteans, and they would hold sway over all the waters of Earth. Every daughter born would sing for her true mate, a song only he could hear. When her human mate would come to her side, at Atlantis, he would make his decision to be with her in her life, or she would abandon her life in Atlantis for his home land. Each becoming either human or Atlantean in order to live fully with their mate. It was this way for thousands of years. Until one day, when the Prophetess to the Queen turned bitter and spiteful after hundreds of years of calling for her mate. Being in her ancient years, unmated, drove the Prophetess mad, and in a moment of desperation, she tried to seduce the King. Shocked and betrayed the King immediately told his Queen, for fear the Prophetess would turn the Queen against him. The Queen acted swiftly, and harshly, banishing the Prophetess for all eternity. Anger and hurt, bile and bitterness rose from within the Prophetess, and when she spoke, the only words which left her heart-hardened lips were the following curse. In that single moment, every volcano exploded, worlds shifted, and Atlantis sank, leaving only the young Atlanteans who were unmated alive.
All these hearts so full of love
Songs on your lips and words on your tongue
Stone you will turn, each couple and pair
Leaving only the young ones
Alone their grief to bear
Every seven years, those left will get their turn
To sing for the love, that their hearts always yearn
But with each passing time that no one appears
Your heart too will harden and eyes spring forth stone tears
When your heart turns complete and solid as mine
You will belong with me for the rest of your time
From Full to New Moon, two weeks will be all
Until your lovely song becomes only a Siren's call.
If this particular beginning of a new tapestry speaks to you, then you should be certain to grab Treading Water, the first book of this wonderful new series. Treading Water will be released by all vendors in ebook an paperback May 25, 20017.
