Because there aren't enough things you can do turn your 2012 Ford F-650 into rolling piece of gargantuan menace. Now you can take a good look at the "Hollow Point" by Mobsteel that was in attendance at the 2011 SEMA Auto Show.
The Detroit-based tuning company certainly did a thorough job in modifying this Ford iron, beginning by shortening and notching the frame and dressing it up in their own trademark Mobsteel Black PPG paint. There are also plenty of exterior details done on the truck, including a custom front bumper and grille cut, custom headlights, an F-Series Super Duty bed, custom aluminum tanks courtesy of Aluminum Blanking Company, and a new set of 24" custom Aztec wheels wrapped in Pireli Scorpian tires.
Inside, the Hollow Point F-650 also gets plenty of enhancements, highlighted by a "No Joke" upholstery, 2,600 watts of JL Audio equipment with a pair of 20-inch monitors, and hand-tooled Glock holsters and magazine racks. Apparently, you can't have enough ammunition with this truck.
Under the hood, Mobsteel and Michigan Caterpillar Diesel took out the F-650's 6.7-liter engine and replaced it with a new C7 Caterpillar engine and a new Allison six-speed transmission.
At the end of the day, you won't need to do any double-takes when you see the F-650 "Hollow Point" out on the road. By sheer intimidation alone, it's already got your attention.

Riting Myth, Mythic Writing:Plotting Your Personal StoryDennis Patrick Slattery "A myth is, among other things, a via or roadway, a path, a way that allows things of the world to present themselves to us in a particular style of presence. The stories that comprise us have as their background a field of psychic energy that arranges itself in unique ways to form our narratives. In this retreat we will move back and in from several events of our lives to their mythic resonances. The act of writing is a ritual form of opening us to a greater understanding of how these events we write about form and inform our personal myth. Instead of composing on a computer, we will write long hand as a way to remember. Writing cursively will deepen our appreciation of some of the contours of the myth that shaped our past and prepares us for the future."

Inside Story:The Power of the Transformational ArcDara Marks "Every writer has a wealth of creative potential, but it can be a daunting if not impossible task to gain access to those interior places where the true power of story is waiting to be unleashed. In this workshop I'll teach writers how to create a natural story structure that reflects the authentic nature of the human experience. My method for structuring story is designed to keep writers focused on the heart and soul of their work so that plot, character, and theme create a unified whole. The interrelationship of these key story elements forms the basis of the transformational arc of character. The transformational arc is the deeper line of structure found inside the story. It is an organic template that writers can use to ensure that the intricacies of plot and character grow naturally out of their original thematic intention. This technique not only enhances our understanding of story structure, but it also pushes the craft of writing into the realm of transformative art."

Transforming Your Dissertation into a Mainstream BookElizabeth Nelson "If your completed dissertation still feels vitally alive and relevant to contemporary culture, and you've dreamed that the research might one day reach a wider audience, this seminar is for you. We'll spend the day working with your manuscript to begin the process of reimagining it as a book. By the end, you will know how to transform the research question and outcome into the book's central promise, have a preliminary sketch of the book's audience, and learn some guidelines for choosing what portions of the dissertation to keep and what to cut. We'll also discuss authorial voice, style, and tone, and show how to maintain the scholarly depth of the original while appealing to mainstream readers. Come prepared with a copy of your dissertation, especially the table of contents, introduction, and the conclusion or summary and findings chapter—and enjoy a lively, interactive, creative day."

Structure and Spontaneity in Clinical Prose: A Clinical Writing WorkshopSuzi Naiburg "Jung recognized that the patient/therapist relationship is 'often of such intensity that we could almost speak of a combination . . . in which both are altered.' Yet our clinical writing rarely evokes what it's like to be in the temenos with patients, relying on narrative summary and the amplification of symbolic material instead. Evocative language works by invitation and suggestion. In the enactive mode, meaning is experienced in the act of reading; it is lived as well as thought. The lyric narrative mode compels readers' participation in and explorations of the uncertainties and unfinished business of the lyric present. Its aesthetic reflects a commitment to the priority of experiencing. In this workshop, you'll be introduced to the evocative, enactive, and lyric narrative modes of clinical prose (in contrast to the narrative and paradigmatic modes) and will be invited to experiment with writing in new ways. The workshop's close readings, guided-writing exercises, didactic material, and discussions will be useful for both unpublished and published writers, and for therapists of all strips."

NWSB Insider and Seattle Mariners blogger Clinton Bell tells us to him the best "MY oh MY" play of the eleventh week of the year had to be Mike Zunino's first career home run. Not only did it break the tie against Oakland, but the Mariners went on to win the game, and the next one as well. Missed in this excitement for me was the amazing debut for Henry Blanco too, who hit a grand slam on Saturday for the M's.
My oh My! Top play of the week for the Seattle Mariners
2013 Mariners MLB Draft: Seattle picks and draft overview
NWSB Insider and Seattle Mariners blogger Clinton Bell brings us a brief overview on the Mariners 2013 MLB Draft selections. From pick 1 to pick 10, Clinton gives us an inside look at what these players did prior to draft day, where they may play for the rest of this season, and what the M's plan on doing with them, as there are a couple who will be switching positions once they receive their assignments. The top 10 look pretty solid, lots of power and a few nice looking pitchers as well.
Seattle Mariners 2013 draft profile: New Mexico Lobo's D.J. Peterson
NWSB insider and Mariners blogger Jon Irwin brings us his breakdown of the Mariner's first-round pick in the 2013 draft. With the No. 13 overall pick the M's selected third baseman D.J. Peterson from the University of New Mexico. Peterson was arguably the purest college hitter in this year's draft, with his bat drawing many similarities to that of Mike Zunino—Seattle's first rounder from last year.
Finding roles for Mariners top prospects
NWSB Insider and Seattle Mariners blogger Jon Irwin breaks down the M's top prospects and what their roles could be with the team moving forward. The top prospects are Mike Zunino, Taijuan Walker, Nick Franklin, Danny Hultzen and James Paxton. Of all the players on this list, it's likely Nick Franklin will be the first to crack the Major League roster. It could be sooner rather than later as well.
Saunders' Reassembled; Mariners win 6-2 in series opener vs. Baltimore
NWSB Insider and Seattle Mariners' blogger Jeff Budke talks about the Seattle Mariners nice game 1 win over the Baltimore Orioloes on Monday night. The good. Michael Saunders crushed a home run in the first inning off a left-handed pitcher. Yes, he played great in CF, adding something Endy Chavez can't a foot of height. The bad. In AAA, Mike Zunino recorded his first hit at home this season (a triple). Can he come up yet?
Who should start at catcher: Jesus Montero or Kelly Shoppach?
NWSB Insider and Seattle Mariners blogger Jeff Budke brings us a question for the ages; Shoppach, or Montero? Kelly Shoppach has been the more productive hitter between the two this year, but Montero is supposed to be the go to guy at the plate for the M's. Shoppach is the better of the two behind the plate as well. Should Wedge make a move? We are still very early in the season, but, wins may be at stake here.
Brad Miller: A key piece in the Mariners future
NWSB Insider and Seattle Mariners blogger Jordin Ereth weighs in on the up and coming prospect in the Mariners prospect system Brad Miller. Jordan says Miller has quietly become a favorite for call-up consideration, and he made quite the impression on Eric Wedge this spring. Wedge praised the young shortstop before their final spring contest, saying "We look at him as a true short stop."
Mariners Report: Houston…we have a problem edition!
NWSB Insider and Seattle Mariners blogger Jeff Budke reports on the tenth game of the season versus the Houston Astros. Jeff points out pitching is a major problem with this M's team right now. He says a pitcher should be evaluated over time, perhaps every month within a season, but it is hard to avoid that when Brandon Maurer & then Blake Beavan put the bullpen and the offense in bad positions playing with different mindsets. Is Aaron Harang the answer?
The five most positive aspects of the Jack Zduriencik & Eric Wedge era
NWSB Insider and Seattle Mariners blogger Jeff Budke brings us his top five most positive aspects of the Jack Zduriencik & Eric Wedge era here in Seattle. Of course you can't mention these two guys, and the Mariners in the same sentence without bringing up the great rebuild of the century. There sure have been plenty of moves, but it seems that we are finally on the right path here in Seattle. From the farm system to the trades, Jack Z has us on our way.
Mike Zunino destroying Triple A, is a call up coming?
NWSB insider and Mariner's blogger Jon Irwin gives us his take on top prospect Mike Zunino, and his torrid start to the 2013 season. The minor league season is only a few games-young, but even so it's impossible to ignore what Zunino is doing. Playing at Triple A Tacoma, Mike is currently hitting .500/.526/1.375 with three home runs in four games. While a call up could be coming sooner than later, such a move will be harder than it sounds.
Five surprises on the Mariners minor league opening day rosters
NWSB insider and Mariners blogger Jeff Budke brings us his take on the biggest surprises of the Mariners minor league rosters to kick off 2013. Topping the list is the delegation of Mike Zunino to Triple A Tacoma, and the separation of Seattle's "big 3″ pitching prospects. Jeremy Bonderman earns applause for his decision to stick things out in the minors. Keep your eye on Taijuan Walker, James Paxton, and Danny Hultzen in 2013 as well.
Seattle Mariners you can actually draft in your league this year!
NWSB Insider, Seattle Mariners blogger AND fantasy sports guru Brandon Choate brings us a list that will make fantasy baseball owners happy. With a revamped lineup, the Mariners have more than just 1 guy you count on when you draft him in your fantasy baseball league. Felix Hernandez is an obvious choice. New additions Michael Morse and Kendrys Morales should add some serious power along with Jesus Montero.

The link in the tweet is to the site Cherry on Top, which dubs itself "Hip Hop With a Cherry on Top." I do not know what that means. The story itself is about how a woman is gearing herself up to testify that Deion Sanders conspired to hide money from Pilar Sanders, so during their divorce proceedings it would seem like he wasn't as well-off as he was.

It is like an exercise in cinema mechanics: Images, music, photography and mood conspire to create a sense of danger, even though at any given moment we cannot possibly explain the rules under which that danger might manifest itself.
A perplexing compound of the silly and the glum.
May not be a masterpiece, but it has its share of thoughtful little angles.
The let's-travel-through-the-TV-screen sequence was better in Fat Albert.
I thought the original had a nice evil chill to it, but this is an unnecessary second chapter that dumbs down all the main characters and is curiously lacking in quality scares.
The Ring Two has a great deal of mood and there are some genuinely chilling moments, but weak characters sap it of all strength.
"The Ring Two" is a horror movie with very few surprises and hit-or-miss moments of suspense that don't lead anywhere on a narrative or emotional level.
Unfortunately, the screenplay by Ehren Kruger is littered with plot holes that reduce the story to a generic thriller formula.
Fracassa ao abandonar o interessante conceito da fita amaldi�oada para se concentrar numa trama boba envolvendo possess�o. Ainda assim, � melhor que Ringu 2 - o que n�o � uma grande proeza.
[It] inevitably lacks the unsettling mystery and the evolving unease of the first one. While there are still startling moments, there are no surprises.
The 'terror' remains that only in theory as, for all its isolated amusements, [the film] never truly scares.
Do yourself a favor and don't tarnish the original "Ring" by seeing this sequel.
The result is actually much better than anyone had perhaps expected, with a fright quota that actually exceeds the original, even if it completely abandons common sense and rational plotting to get there.
Shouldn't wind up the devotees too much and will keep fans of the first American movie quiet.
Just about as bad as the first film was. If anything, it's a little stupider.
The film may not be quite as good as the first one, but rest assured there are plenty of scares left in this franchise.
We're left with another tepid PG-13 horror sequel that rehashes huge chunks of the original and, in the end, has almost nothing new to offer.

Found February 01, 2013 on Ted's Army:
PLAYERS: Lyle Overbay, Mike Napoli, Chris Coghlan
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox, Miami Marlins
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox, Miami Marlins
Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. "The Red Sox reached an agreement with veteran first baseman Lyle Overbay on a minor league deal that includes an invitation to spring training, a source told the Herald. If Overbay is not added to the 25-man major league roster before Opening Day, he may opt out of the contract and sign with another team. At a minimum, Overbay could potentially offer protection for the Red Sox in case Napoli begins experiencing problems related to avascular necrosis, a disease that results in deterioration and possible death of a bone in the hip caused by a lack of blood flow. But the 36-year-old also could serve as a left-handed bat off the bench and a late-inning defensive replacement for Napoli." Herald: Minor deal, major role for Overbay As we noted yesterday, the Red Sox and Lyle Overbay agreed to a minor league deal, launching him into the mix at first base. Overbay has bounced around with five different teams in Arizona (two-stints), Milwaukee, Toronto, Pittsburgh, and Atlanta. This may be a minor league deal, but the 36-year-old is a likely candidate to make the team serving as a left-handed option off the Red Sox bench. Overbay is also a decent defensive replacement at 1B, especially for Mike Napoli, providing further value. Clearly, the Red Sox are concerned about their first-base depth in bringing in Overbay and reportedly receiving a three-way trade offer from Miami to acquire 1B Chris Coghlan. Don't be suprised if GM Ben Cherington continues to bring in some more candidates to compete for the back-up behind Napoli.

I'm getting into this again
*Gerard's POV*
We'd sat Mikey down, he was still confused but I knew he would understand eventually.
I took a seat opposite him, Frank standing by the door, "I'm sorry to load you with this Mikes."
"Nah, I get it. I'm cool with it." He smiled, "I'm happy for you."
"Can you... Not say anything to Mom yet?" I said, "I want to tell her, when I'm ready."
This is why I love Mikey, he will take any body as they are. He leaned in and hugged me. I hugged him back "Love you bro." I said.
Mom came down, it was 1 in the afternoon, and it was a Sunday, so she had obviously had a longer lie in then the rest of us. She leaned on the door, her large cosy bedrobe tied around her, messy chocolate brown hair falling in natural curls framing her pretty Italian face. My mom was really something, she was amazing, I loved her.
"Morning- oops, afternoon boys." She smiled, she didn't have any make up on, or proper clothes, just her PJ's and big slipper/boot things.
"Heya Mrs W-" Frank started, never actually meeting my mom before.
"Please, Donna. And you must be the infamous Frank?" She asked. Walking into the room smiling.
He nodded, "That's me." smiling.
"Have fun last night? Ray and... Bob wasn't it." she asked.
We all nodded, trying not to laugh as a winked to Mikey. "It was a scream" I said and Frank cracked up laughing, going red from embarassment a little.
"Yes.. i heard that. Pulling pranks again you two?" She asked my little brother and myself.
Mikey shook his head "Mom! I'm hurt!" he fiened being appalled "I was nothing to do with it!" She put an arm around his shoulder and kissed his hair.
okay even our mom had her embaressing moments. "Mom." He moaned tugging himself away. She grinned and walked ot the door.
"nice to meet you Frank. You're welcome anytime."
"Thanks, Donna." He was going to say Mrs Way, I could tell.
----- The next day----- (and still Gee's POV)
I walked into school, a hell of a lot happier then the last time I walked these halls, I got into my first class of the day, Biology, I had it with Frank, so naturally we were lab partners.
We took our seats, near the back and I took out the book I'd been given and started a fresh page. Cell structure, simple but I could get my head around it, a good subject for early morning. Not much thinking in it.
"Hi." he said grinning as he got his stuff out.
The teacher started the lesson and I absent mindedly wrote notes down in my book, sketching out appropriate diagrams for the work.
I felt his knees hit mine as it rested on a bar under the desk, we looked at each other and smiled. I felt something hard hit the back of my head - oh come on, not now, do not ruin my day.
"pstt, Freak, turn around." He said, trowing more of whatever it was into my head.
I slowly turned around, "What." I said.
"Is it true you killed a girl from your old school?" I balled my hand under the table and Frank looked at me.
"No. It isn't." I said through clenchen teeth, I turned around, and tried to ignore them.
"I heard he knocked up this girl up. Then killed her and the baby." The guy whispered to his partner, I felt tears burn my eyes, I would not let this happen to me. A few minutes last I raised my hand as the teacher walked near our desk.
"Miss. Can I go get my text book out my locker."
"Gerard. Does Frank not have his with him."
Frank knew what I was doing and hid his under the desk, "No, sorry I forgot."
"be quick then." She replied, nodding at the door.
I hurried out the class room, and managed to get into the toilets before I started crying.
I sat in the furthest corner away from the door on the floor and held my knees to my chest, and let fat angry tears stream down my face.
I stood up shakily and punched the tiled wall repeatedly, I muttered a string of curses under my breath. I looked up at the mirror. I was a wreck now, my eyes were red and puffy from crying. My hand was shaking, the knuckles bleeding, covered in little cuts.
I ran it under the cold water, trying to calm down, shit, it wouldn't stop bleeding, I was going to need stitches. Oh great, my day was going to be shit from now one I could feel it.
I walked back from the toilets and ducked under the small window on the door of my class.
I knocked on the door with my good and hand and the smiling face of the school nurse welcomed me.
"oh, Gerard, what seems to be the problem."
I held my hand to my chest "I.. urm... Can we talk?" I said, not looking at her.
"Of course, of course come in." she let me into the room, "What seems to be the problem."
"I... I-" I broke down and started crying softly again. She came and sat next to me putting an arm around my shoulder, rubbing my back gently.
"Shh. You can tell me. I don't tell anyone unless I really have to." she said gently. She carefully took hold of my hand, flattening it out, it stung a little but the freezing water had numbed it a little.
She wiped a clean cloth over it, cleaning the cuts. She worked quickly on it, bandaging it up and giving me some painkillers to take with water.
"Did you do this to your self? Or get into a fight?" She asked calmly.
"M-myself." I said, a giant lump in my throat.
"Okay. Why?" She said, kneeling in front of me, loking at me in the eye.
I pulled my shoulders up and let them fall.
"Did you get mad at something? Or upset?"
I nodded "S-sorry."
"You should only appologise to your self. Do you want to tell me what happened?" She asked kindly.
"Some one said s-something... That...-"
"I understand Gerard. Really I do. I know what happened with you and your family, and you have my full support."
Great does everyone here know how fucked up I am?!
"I'll send for someone to get your things, do you want to go home?"
I shook my head. "Can I stay here for a bit."
"Of course." She said, going to her laptop, "Who's class did you come out of?"
"Miss..." I tried to remember her name, "Porters."
She nodded and began typing.
"Gerard Way, is feeling ill, please may one of your students bring his bag to the my office."
She read out "How does that sound?"
"Thank you." I said.
I sat, talkin to her, telling her everything, about the party, about Jess and about Frank, all about the drugs.
She sat opposite nodding, not taking notes like all the other people I'd been sent to talk to, I felt more relaxed talking to her.
There was a knock at the door and she got up "Here is your bag."
Frank stood at the door, worry on his face, "Can I speak to him?" I heard him say quietly.
I nodded as she turned around, Frank came in slowly and sat next to me, "I didn't think you'd come back after what that dick said." he turned around "Sorry." appologising for his language.
She held a hand up "I wont tell." she smiled.
He took my good hand, "She knows." I said looking up "I'm sorry, it sorta slipped out."
"I won't tell anybody, you know I wont boys." She said, getting back to other work she had on her computer.
"It's okay." he said smiling.
We sat talking till the bell for break rang. And we stepped out to face the school again.
Woah, sorry for such a long chapter, I really got carried away with this one. Maria xoxox

With the recent Supreme Court decisions all over the news, some Christian parents wonder how they ought to explain all of this to their small children. I've faced the same question as my children have asked, "What is the Supreme Court doing that's keeping you so busy?" So how does one teach the controversy, without exposing one's children to more than they can handle?
First of all, you should, I think, talk to your children about this. No matter how you shelter your family, keeping your children from knowing about the contested questions about marriage would take a "Truman Show"-level choreography of their lives. That's not realistic, nor is it particularly Christian.
The Bible isn't nearly as antiseptic as Christians sometimes pretend to be, and it certainly doesn't shirk back from addressing all the complexities of human life. If we are discipling our children, let's apply the Scriptures to all of life. If we refuse to talk to our children about some issue that is clearly before them, our children will assume we are unequipped to speak to it, and they'll eventually search out a worldview that will.
This doesn't mean that we rattle our children with information they aren't developmentally ready to process. But we know how to navigate that already. We talk, for instance, about marriage itself, and we give age-appropriate answers to the "Where do babies come from?" query. The same is true here. There is no need to inform small children about all the sexual possibilities in graphic detail in order to get across that Jesus calls us to live as husbands and wives with fidelity and permanence and complementarity.
Some parents believe that teaching their children the controversies about same-sex marriage will promote homosexuality. Christians and non-Christians can agree that sexual orientation doesn't work that way. Moreover, the exact opposite is true. If you don't teach your children about a Christian way of viewing the challenges to a Christian sexual ethic, the ambient culture will fill in your silence with answers of its own.
You can tell your children that people in American culture disagree about what marriage is. You can explain to them what the Bible teaches, from Genesis to Jesus to the apostles, about a man and a woman becoming one-flesh. You can explain that as Christians we believe this marital relationship is different than other relationships we have. You can then tell them that some people have relationships they want to be seen as marriages, and that the Supreme Court is addressing that.
You can then explain that you love your neighbors who disagree with you on this. You agree that they ought to be free from mistreatment or harassment. But the church believes government can't define or redefine marriage, but can only recognize what God created and placed in creation. Explain why you think mothers and fathers are different, and why those differences are good. Find examples in your own family of how those differences work together for the common good of the household, and point to examples in Scripture of the same.
Don't ridicule or express hostility toward those who disagree. You might have gay or lesbian family members; be sure to express your love for them to your children, even as you say that you disagree about God's design for marriage. You probably have already had to do that with family members or friends who are divorced or cohabiting or some other situation that falls short of a Christian sexual ethic. If your children see outrage in you, rather than a measured and Christlike biblical conviction, they eventually will classify your convictions here in the same category as your clueless opinions about "kids these days and their loud music."
The issues at stake are more important than that. Marriage isn't ultimately about living arrangements or political structures, but about the gospel. When your children ask about the Supreme Court, be loving and winsome and honest and convictional and kind.

Finding your career path today…………..
You finish school, do you go on to further education? Do you get a job? Doing what? You go to your first interview. You are examined and questioned, prodded and poked. Everyone has advice for you, everyone says they know what is best for you. Everyone just wants you to do well and only has your best interests at heart. No one wants to listen to you. You find a job, it pays enough, its not very challenging and its not what you saw yourself doing, but it what is there. Life is harsh and you don't get to do what you would stretch you, what would fulfil you. You work to live, and live to work. You feel like there could be something more. but what?? You go to university, what do you do with your qualification? Where do you go next? Where in the country do you work? Out of the country?? What is there elsewhere? How would I start in a new area………………………………
Imagine what finding your career path could be………….
You are mentored, not another person looking for a job, but a career and life. Your mentor is not telling you what to do, they are giving you information and advice as to what is available. You have something in mind you want to be? This is what you need to get there. This is where you can get the training. This is how long it will take. The cost isn't a problem, you are part of the community. We have jobs in that area in this location and this location on completion. The training is here and will take this long. Your mentor teaches you some techniques to assess what is best for your own life path empowering you to decide for yourself as to what will fulfil you and stretch your capabilities. You have been taught to be in touch with your own intuition as to what will lead you along your life path the best.
Taking your children to school today……….
You don't need an alarm, your youngest wakes up at 6 on the dot demanding attention, a nappy change and breakfast. Your partner is at work already, you miss seeing them now that you are both working. Your eldest gets themselves up and is like a natural force of nature around the house getting what they need and doing what they want to do. You face the everyday challenge of getting them dressed, fed, things packed and out of the door in time to get the youngest to nursery and the oldest to school before going to work. You manage to navigate the car through the vast amount of traffic and get the youngest to nursery. Dropping off a rucksack full of supplies to be used during the day. You get the oldest to school in time. They kiss you good bye and walk off. You know they are a little nervous as the school bully had been showing them attention of late. Never a nice experience and you are doing all you can to help them through it along with the school. You get back into the traffic and make your way to work. Work is nothing to write home about but it pays the bills. You would like to do more but don't have the time for the training and the hours would need to fit in with the children. You are trapped where you are and options are limited. Work passes and you head back to school to pick up the eldest. They look a little dejected and scuffed where they did have a run in with the school bully and somebody else they had a disagreement with. The school is investigating. You get to nursery and pick up the youngest, get them all home and make tea in time for your partner to get home. You all eat. Bath the children, spend a little quality time and put them to bed. Exhausted you fall on the sofa watch a little TV, talk and go to bed. A new will arrive soon.
Imagine what taking your child to school could be ……
You wake up having had a good night's sleep. You miss the children but enjoyed the rest. You know they will have lots of things to tell you that they did with their mentor last night. You get ready for work and head down to the communal dining hall and get your pre-ordered breakfast. Afterwards you walk outside taking in the beauty of the surrounding area noticing how the surrounding settlement harmonises with nature. You arrive at work and join your team, happy that you have completed the training that your career advisor set up and thankful for the services of the child mentors who took the children to school, picked them up, and looked after them until you got home. The role at work could have been written for you and stretches your own abilities as well as giving you the flexibility of hours to have a career and have children. At lunch time you leave work and walk over to the Nursery to have lunch with your youngest. Your eldest has walked over from school as well and your partner has just arrived. You spend your listening to your oldest telling you about the time he spent with his mentor last night Building models and learning to draw. He also tells you of his day at school that started with gentle exercise and meditation. About the lesson they had on respecting others and different religious paths.In PE they learnt today from a Shaolin monk that taught them some Wushu and Kungfu after telling them about respecting yourself, others and their beliefs. About causing no harm to another. They did English, Maths, Physics and Herbal Medicine. Then they learnt about energy relationships. They tell you about how its bad to take another's energy and that they would never do it. You all finish your lunch and return to school/work. Work passes in a flash and you leave early today as your flexible hours allow. You hand over the work to the person that is job sharing hours with you so they can have flexible timings as well. You pick up the children from school and nursery, make your way to the communal dining hall where you all eat from the array of choices. You head back to your appartments, bath the children and spend some quality time talking about your day. Your partner tells you they have booked the children some junior activities tomorrow night with the child mentors so that you can both go to the meditation class together or the pottery painting class or just have a quite night in. the child mentors will bring them home after the activities. You both head off to bed looking forward to tomorrow.
Today that is…….
The alarm goes off; you don't want to get up. You feel so relaxed in bed and know that as soon as you put a foot on the floor reality will sink in and the stress of the day ahead will hit you like a wall. You just want to curl up and go back to sleep in peace. You peel yourself out of bed and circumnavigate the bedroom to the bathroom and shower. Twenty minutes later you emerge clean and mildly awake but the foreboding of another day in a job that gives you no fulfilment descends as you make your way to downstairs to the kitchen to make breakfast. Looking in the fridge you realise you have no milk for coffee and the bread is stale, you should of gone shopping yesterday. You don't have time to eat properly so you grab something quick that you know will give you acid later on the way out of the door. You start the car and spend forty minutes amongst the untold thousands in a traffic jam that is slowed by outdated technology and traffic management. Arriving at work you find your boss in an equally foul mood due to the stress put upon them, something which they very quickly pass on to you. You spend the next eight hours in a blur of fevered non motivated effort with lunch at your desk for not a lot of output and finish your working day feeling like you have achieved nothing and you may as well have stayed in bed after all. You join the same people on the way home that you contested with on the way in to work to preoccupied with how you feel to notice they are in the same situation. You get home and there is a long list of bills to be paid waiting on the doormat, electricity, gas, water, internet, credit cards and a whole raft of others all demanding your attention. The stress and anxiety stamps down once again. You make yourself a listless meal and prepare yourself for an evening of TV, the Xbox or just sitting glaring at the wall. You have not got the energy for anything else. Tomorrow you get to do the same again. Roll on the weekend, only four days to go!!!!
Imagine what today could be…………
The alarm goes off; you bounce out of bed feeling refreshed. You jump in the shower, get changed and head out of your apartments downstairs to the training hall. There you meet people that are pleased to see you, the atmosphere is buzzing and you chat for a few minutes prior to the teacher commencing a session of slow stretches and exercises designed to open your energy meridians and circulate energy around your body. They lead you in a short meditation which calms your mind and gives you focus. You feel the energy moving, energising you and any stress you had immediately falls away. After the session you get changed and head to the communal Dining Hall. The cook has prepared breakfast to the request you left last night and it is ready for when you arrive. You eat with others and talk over your breakfast about the day ahead and what it may bring. Finishing breakfast you walk out of the building and follow a path to the building across the road looking at the beauty of the nature around you. You find yourself marvelling at the buildings you now take for granted, they have been designed to be in harmony with the environment. From the solar cells that provide electricity to the roof top gardens that catch the rainwater and reduce the settlements eco footprint. You enter and find your teams work area. Your team are all sat around the office logged on using collaborative software to link with the people they work with around the globe. You are in an open well aired office where communication and collaboration are encouraged and the seminars you have attended on energy interactions actually help you be more productive in and out of work. Your team leader seems more like a mentor, someone that you can aspire to, they facilitate this feeling of value, smooth the communication and encourage your ideas for forward movement of the whole team as your own path. You throw yourself into your day and your team produces very good work which wins plaudits from your customer. Lunch is delivered and is made from home grown produce and tastes very good. You finish up and head home where there are no bills for water, gas or electricity as the settlement is self-sufficient. Getting changed you head out and meet you're climbing club or your martial arts club, or chill out with friends in a specifically designed relaxation area. Afterwards you head to the dining hall for tea where you choose from a home grown and home cooked menu. You sit with a different group of people from breakfast but are equally welcome. You chat and feel the buzz of having had a good day. You go to bed, looking forward to tomorrow.

Open the Future: The Future Isn't What It Used to Be
Comment: very good point - that is in fact what I am trying to do ;)
Wise words and a valid point
Why do you feel there is more? What do you do with your life??
Many people are feeling unsatisfied, a feeling is taking hold of them that there is more for them, that they need to be doing so much more to feel achieved. got that feeling?? Want to know what it is??
Many of us are feeling it as energies shift. That we need to be doing that one thing that will carry us forward and satisfy that feeling deep down that there has to be more than this. That feeling isnt one of rebellion or to "bring down the system". Its your higher self getting you ready for the next step on your life path.
The real measure of maturity isn't knowledge or skill. It is kindness.

Jak: Fine. Bring 'em on.

Vhat a charming smile.

"You're little group?" Sig raised his good eyebrow at the statement, "well, now a days any work is good work for me cherry. Since Krew has kinda' well, made his way into hiding it seems I'm a free man now.. If ya' get my drift." Though deep down inside, he knew krew would come back.. he always did.
(Source: chaoticaa, via jakdaxterroleplay)
Lips curling into a somewhat large, drooling smile, the overweight walrus shot his beady eyes across the room and to the group of various people simply lurking about in his presence. But where among this crowd had been Sig? Oh Sig. It had been a while since the two shared one another's company and because of that Krew found himself in a rut- how was he to go about his life as if the whole love affair hadn't happened? That was hardly Sig at all, to go run off and leave Krew to his lonesome, not to mention hefty self. Thinking they had gotten through all that drama, he had taken it upon himself to hire but a few more 'errand boys'- or men, Krew didn't like them scrawny; completely defenseless. But Sig on the other hand had been completely perfect for such a role, pleasing him in ways no other could—
" Oh Sig- Sig— Sig…"
The sound of the large man's voice echoed through Sig's ears and he found himself shifting uncomfortably from a shiver that ran down his spine. Oh no. It seemed no matter how far Sig ran, he could never outrun him. Krew. Funny, seeing as how he had no.. real legs. It was too late though, and just when he thought it was safe to roam Haven city again, stop into the old Hip Hog again he was wrong. Reasons why he kept to the wastes at all costs, to avoid that feeling of the whale always breathing down his neck over everything. He was a single man, he didn't need this guy to help support him.
He needed to leave, and quick before the man tied him to a table and never let him leave, tired of chasing around metal heads for— tons of fun who floated about. Sig's lips formed a tight line at the thought, but chose not to speak. What could he even say to him anymore? How did he feel about him? His feelings anymore were nothing but confusion and pain, all the bruises from the past when he wouldn't do his job right. The thought made Sig's stomach churn with uncertainty, whatever his plans were, he wasn't about to fall for it again. Turning around to face the man, well, having to look up at him. Sig took in a deep breath before he got too close and raised his good brow, "Can I help ya' with somethin' cherry?"

Nothing Special
I wasn't overly impressed by this spot treatment. A friend suggested it so I thought I'd give it a try. It absorbed nicely and had a really clean scent but it was just okay.
By Patricia on March 11, 2012
Gentle spot healer
Not drying or harsh in any way. I wouldn't rely on it for serious acne conditions, but for occasional breakouts or blackheads this is a nice treatment.
By Kory on May 23, 2012
Looking at the packaging I guess the German word for blemish is "pickle" - who knew? I really like this gel as it fights "pickles" without damaging the skin into flaky patches of irritation, which is what most creams and lotions do.

Taste is delicious--and it kept really well in old pasta sauce jar. The flavors are balanced but don't overpower your crips vegetables! Probably would be best if you run it through blender/food processor to make it a bit more smooth, it was a little bit too chunky (or I just wasn't patient enough to chop the parsley finely enough). Great for everyday use or for a special occasion!

The Hall of Heroes is where the multiplayer aspect of Wartune appears. In this building, players can enter dungeons in parties of four; however, players are only granted three attempts for completion awards. Dungeons found in this building are significantly more difficult than their corresponding campaign dungeons in terms of player level. These dungeons also drop rare items not found anywhere else in the game.
The Hall of Heroes unlocks when the player reaches level 20. Inside the hall are difficult multiplayer dungeons, where the player may join other players in conquering these dungeons for their drops and experience. The dungeons unlock every five levels, and are split into three different chapters. Chapter 1 ranges from level 20 to level 50; chapter 2 presumably level 50 to level 80; and chapter 3 is unknown at this time.
The dungeon drops are only purple and blue equipment. Each dungeon also has the possibility of dropping a synthesizable item - such as the Gartan Sword, Moirai Bow, or Gloridon Staff in Nether Forest - for its corresponding level range. The dungeons will also drop Soul Crystals, Crystaloids, Luck Stones, and Shadow Crystals.On top of that, there is a possibility of obtaining (either as a random drop or completion reward) a crafting item (worn weapon, broken helmet, dismal necklace, etc.)
When entering a multiplayer dungeon, the players recruited troops will not battle with the player. This is because the player has the option of being in a party of players. Even if the player attempts a dungeon solo, their troops will not battle. Therefore, it is always recommended that the player travel in a group when attempting a dungeon, unless they are of a significantly higher level than the recommended dungeon level.
As the player levels above the recommended dungeon level, the experience received from the dungeon will begin to decrease, until the player receives zero experience. This will happen even if the player uses a daily attempt on the dungeon.
The experience rewards for completing a multiplayer dungeon are huge in comparison to the experience rewards earned elsewhere in Wartune. For that reason, the attempts at multiplayer dungeons have been restricted from 5 attempts per day to 3 attempts. Further, if the player finishes their 3 attempts, and then tries to complete another dungeon, they will recieve a pop-up informing the play that they will not recieve any rewards for multiplayer dungeons for the rest of the server day. Not only does this affect experience earned from defeating enemies and completing the dungeon, but it affects item drops and the items found in the dungeon, such as the Traveler's Coin Purse and the Mystery Box.
After a player completes a multiplayer dungeon, they will be given a rank, similar to the ranking given after completing a solo campign dungeon. Like the solo dungeons, they ranking is based on damage dealt, damage taken, and number of deaths. The player's ranking (S, A, B, etc.) determines the amount of experience the player will receive after completion as a reward. And like the campaign, there are four bonuses presented here: Party, Item, Friends, and Other. However, the player can now take advantage of the Party and Friends bonus, as the player will be in a party and has the option to have friends in their party as well.
The Item bonus represents the experience scroll the player has active (+50%, +100%, etc.) while the Friends bonus represents an experience bonus from having the player's in-game friends in the party. The higher the friend level (the number next to the heart in the friends list), the more bonus experience the player will receive.
The following is a list of multiplayer dungeonsChapter 1
In certain areas of higher level multiplayer dungeons, players will enounter a stone circle with a lady standing next to it. This lady is the Roaming Summoner, and for a certain number of Skeleton Keys, she will summon a Spirit of Barno. At this point, the player party will engage in a mirror match, and see if they are able to defeat AI controlled versions of themselves. Upon defeating their clones, each player will receive a loot drop, with significantly better chances at better loot and better loot in general. The Spirit of Barno can be summoned as many times as a player would like, provided they have enough skeleton keys.
Nightmare Mode
With patch 1.45, a new mode was added to multiplayer dungeons. Nightmare mode increased the difficulty of a dungeon by increasing the stats of all the creatures significantly. The increased difficulty leads to increased experience from both defeating enemies and completing the dungeon. Legendary shards were also added as drops for nightmare mode. Nightmare mode is only available for dungeons of level 40+.

Issue #38 - 2012-04-16 - Over 3000 subscribers!latest | archive
Hi and welcome to the new subscribers!
It seems this was a very busy week. Lots of posts. Way too many to include all of them here.
We have also passed the 3,000 subscribers. I wrote about this and the post was submitted to Hacker News. This brought quite a number of new subscribers. For more details check the 'self promotion' section below.
Now to the interesting stuff:
A pastebin with almost no user interface
Mike Doherty wrote WWW::Hashbang::Pastebin, a simple pastebin written in Dancer. I guess it could be nice to set it up within a company and start using it for showing code examples via the network.
Michael Daum announced the new release of the Perl based wiki. This includes both security fixes and other improvements.
Perlito version 9; Perl5 and Perl6 compilers
Flavio S. Glock released a new version of his awesome Perl compiler.
Nordic Perl Workshop 2012 - June 4-5 in Stockholm, Sweden
Claes Jakobsson finally announced the dates of the Nordic Perl Workshop!
EPO launch new membership and donations site
EPO = Enlightened Perl Organisation
Defending Against Its Dynamic Scope
chromatic writes about a nasty trap that one can fall in when using $_ in a construct that calls some other code that might change $_. It is especially a problem in map and grep where you have to use $_.
Breaking problems down and defaults
Zbigniew Lukasiak is trying to simplify the API of a module by adding wrappers and setting defaults.
Mojolicious Boilerplate Evolution
Tudor Constantin tells us the story behind the evolution of the Mojolicious Boilerplate. Some features that were added and lots of plans he has for the project.
Explaining Web Programming via Plack
Should Ovid introduce only PSGI in his book or should it also include Dancer and Catalyst?
Verifying MySQL behaviour with automated test suites and mytap
Cosimo Streppone did not write about Perl in this article but he is using mytap, the MySQL version of TAP, the Test Anything Protocol. It is very nice to see how Perl helps the quality of the Opera browser through testing MySQL.
Instead of Test Driven Development, Nitish Bezzala suggests Test Driven Learning. I think this can be a good idea though one needs to think how to introduce it and how to make sure the test framework does not hide problems or introduces new ones.
Mock Objects Despoil Your Tests
While I agree with chromatic that too much mocking in tests is not healthy I am really not sure where does he get the idea that mocking is overused. The companies I visit never do mocking. OK, they usually don't do any testing and that's why they invite me and the only way to get some test up there is to mock half the universe. Or at least the external APIs. In any case, it would be interesting to check the level of mocking within CPAN.
A late memoire from the Brazilian player called Breno G. de Oliveira (garu).
Can Parallel::ForkManager speed up a seemingly IO bound task?

Throwing and catching exceptions in Perl
Viacheslav Tykhanovskyi (vti) is a street performer juggling fire. He throws and catches exceptions without gloves. And without CPAN.
Geistteufel sets up his environment to be able to work offline. Including having access to CPAN while on the road using Mini CPAN.

We're starting to see elements added to levitra india pharmacy cars that help tell the driver when and cheap viagra paypal how to save gas, rather than having the driver rely on gathering their own tips and implementing them. Nissan's Eco Pedal is one such gadget. And now Mercedes-Benz has their own.
Their new C-Class will have a C 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY Prime Edition that will help drivers save fuel by telling them when to switch gears. A display will inform the driver of generic cialis next day delivery the best time to shift to maximize mileage. We'll be able to see this in action this fall, when about 5,000 of these models exit the factory. The model is part of the BlueEFFICIENCY series that will have various green-ish measures such as reduced weight, better aerodynamics, and improved fuel consumption. All rather ho-hum measures, but it's something.
