Bestselling author, speaker, and world-traveling success coach Jen Sincero cuts through the din of the self-help genre with her own verbal meat cleaver in You are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life. In this refreshingly blunt how-to guide, Sincero serves up twenty-seven bite-sized chapters full of hilariously inspiring stories, life-changing insights, easy exercises, and the occasional swear word.
"Good at times"
The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won't make a search engine. And the next Mark Zuckerberg won't create a social network. If you are copying these guys, you aren't learning from them. It's easier to copy a model than to make something new: doing what we already know how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. But every time we create something new, we go from 0 to 1.
"The importance of contrarian thinking"
Countless books on success tell you what you need to get that you don't already possess. In Act Like a Success, Think Like a Success, Steve Harvey tells you how to achieve your dreams using the gift you already have. Every one of us was born with a gift endowed by our creator - something you do the best at with very little effort. While it can be like someone else's, your gift is yours alone. No one can take it away. You are the only one who can use it - or waste it.
"I will be a Success!"
You can go after the job you want...and get it! You can take the job you have...and improve it! You can take any situation you're in...and make it work for you!
"This is well worth listening too! Main points are."
Stephen R. Covey's book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, has been a top seller for the simple reason that it ignores trends and pop psychology for proven principles of fairness, integrity, honesty, and human dignity. Celebrating its 15th year of helping people solve personal and professional problems, this special anniversary edition includes a new forward and afterword written by Covey that explore whether the 7 Habits are still relevant.
"A true guide for life"
In The Marshmallow Test, Mischel explains how self-control can be mastered and applied to challenges in everyday life - from weight control to quitting smoking, overcoming heartbreak, making major decisions, and planning for retirement. With profound implications for the choices we make in parenting, education, public policy and self-care, The Marshmallow Test will change the way you think about who we are and what we can be.
"Self-control is a skill we CAN develop!"
After film critic Gene Siskel asked her, "What do you know for sure?" Oprah Winfrey began writing the "What I Know for Sure" column in O, The Oprah Magazine. Saying that the question offered her a way to take "stock of her life", Oprah has penned one column a month over the last 14 years.
"Overall, I liked this book"
At its core, The Power of Habit contains an exhilarating argument: The key to exercising regularly, losing weight, raising exceptional children, becoming more productive, building revolutionary companies and social movements, and achieving success is understanding how habits work. Habits aren't destiny. As Charles Duhigg shows, by harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives.
"Nice! A guide on how to change"
Think and Grow Rich is the number-one inspirational and motivational classic for individuals who are interested in furthering their lives and reaching their goals by learning from important figures in history. The text read in this audiobook is the original 1937 edition written by Napoleon Hill and inspired by Andrew Carnegie - and while it has often been reproduced, no updated version has ever been able to compete with the original.
"It's a must."
Meditation offers deep and lasting benefits for mental functioning and emotional health, as well as for physical health and well-being. These 24 detailed lectures teach you the principles and techniques of sitting meditation, the related practice of walking meditation, and the highly beneficial use of meditative awareness in many important activities, including eating and driving.

"Be well and happy!"
In You Can, You Will, Joel Osteen focuses on the eight irrefutable traits and attributes of highly successful people. These personal qualities are tested through the ages and all types of circumstances. These practical principles guide the lives of champions.
Learn to find riches in many unknown places on the Internet!
In Eat Move Sleep, Tom Rath delivers an audiobook that will improve your health for years to come. Quietly managing a serious illness for more than 20 years, Tom has assembled a wide range of information on the impact of eating, moving, and sleeping. Written in his classic conversational style, Eat Move Sleepfeatures the most proven and practical ideas from his research. This remarkably quick listen offers advice that is comprehensive yet simple and often counterintuitive but always credible.
"Excellent Daily Motivation to Eat, Move & Sleep"
Perhaps once a decade, a book comes along that transforms people's lives in a very real, measurable way. This is one of them. Crucial Conversations exploded onto the scene 10 years ago and revolutionized the way people communicate when stakes are high, opinions vary, and emotions run strong. Since then, millions of people have learned how to hold effective crucial conversations and have dramatically improved their lives and careers thanks to the methods outlined in this book. Now, the authors have revised their best-selling classic to provide even more ways to help you take the lead in any tough conversation.
"There is something useful here"
Spiritual teacher Michael A. Singer explores the question of human identity and shows how the development of consciousness can enable us all to dwell in the present moment and achieve happiness and self-realization.
Ever noticed that trying to calm down often produces more agitation? Or that real fulfillment can be elusive, despite living a successful life? Often, such difficulties stem from the human brain's hardwired tendency to seek pleasure and avoid pain. Modern science demonstrates that this survival mechanism served the needs of our earliest ancestors, but is at the root of many problems that we face today, such as depression, compulsive and addictive behaviors, chronic pain, and stress and anxiety.
"The unsuspected benefits of using mindfulness!"
Robert Kiyosaki has challenged and changed the way tens of millions of people around the world think about money. With perspectives that often contradict conventional wisdom, Robert has earned a reputation for straight talk, irreverence and courage. He is regarded worldwide as a passionate advocate for financial education. According to Kiyosaki, "The main reason people struggle financially is because they have spent years in school but learned nothing about money."
"I really enjoy listening over and over again."
Dr. Gary Chapman identifies five basic languages of love and then guides couples towards a better understanding of their unique languages of love. Learn to speak and understand your mate's love language, and in no time you will be able to effectively love and truly feel loved in return. Skillful communication is within your grasp!
"Highly Recommended"

Also included are templates for eliminating email and negotiating with bosses and clients, how to apply lifestyle principles in unpredictable economic times, and the latest tools, tricks, and shortcuts for living like a diplomat or millionaire without being either.
"My favorite book for encouragement!"
We are stuck, stymied, frustrated. But it needn't be this way. There is a formula for success that's been followed by the icons of history - from John D. Rockefeller to Amelia Earhart to Ulysses S. Grant to Steve Jobs - a formula that let them turn obstacles into opportunities. Faced with impossible situations, they found the astounding triumphs we all seek.
"Great book I wish I had 25 years ago"
Anthony Robbins has already unlocked the personal power inside millions of people worldwide. Now, in this revolutionary new audio production based on his enormously popular Date with Destiny seminars, Robbins unleashes the sleeping giant that lies within all of us, teaching us to harness our untapped abilities, talents and skills.
"Bring clarity and strategy to your life!"
Two Christian parenting educators describe five ways we can connect with our children: physical touch, quality time, words of affirmation, gifts, and acts of service. These initiatives, when geared to the preferences of each child, make them feel loved and, thus, more receptive to guidance and redirection when needed. The authors are inspiring writers whose examples and quotes from children and parents are instructive.
"Principles Every Parent Should Understand"
Parenting advice isn't hard to find. There are thousands of books on the subject, as well as a multitude of websites. Much has also been written on the science of child development. What's been lacking, however, are sources of reliable advice that bring together the scientific research and its real-world applications.
"A helpful and enlightning overview of parenting"
Your toddler throws a tantrum in the middle of a store. Your preschooler refuses to get dressed. Your fifth-grader sulks on the bench instead of playing on the field. Do children conspire to make their parents' lives endlessly challenging? No - it's just their developing brain calling the shots! In this pioneering, practical book, Daniel J. Siegel, neuropsychiatrist and author of the best-selling Mindsight, and parenting expert Tina Payne Bryson demystify the meltdowns and aggravation, explaining the new science of how a child's brain is wired and how it matures.
"It's so good, you should buy the print version"
On The Gifts of Imperfect Parenting, Dr. Brené Brown invites us on a journey to transform the lives of parents and children alike. Drawing on her 12 years of research on vulnerability, courage, worthiness, and shame, she presents ten guideposts to creating what she describes as "wholehearted" families where each of us can continually learn and grow as we reach our full potential.
"You will add dimension to your parenting skills!"
Parenting is not about kids, it's about parents. If you're not in control, then you cannot be in charge. What every kid really needs are parents who are able to keep their cool no matter what. Easier said than done? Not anymore, thanks to ScreamFree Parenting, the principle-based approach that's inspiring parents everywhere to truly revolutionize their family dynamics.
Internationally acclaimed experts on communication between parents and children, Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish "are doing for parenting today what Dr. Spock did for our generation" (Parent Magazine). Now, this best-selling classic includes fresh insights and suggestions as well as the author's time-tested methods to solve common problems and build foundations for lasting relationships.
"Best. Parenting. Book. Ever."
In this best-selling classic, child psychiatrist and coauthor of The Whole Brain Child, Daniel J. Siegel and early childhood expert Mary Hartzell explore the extent to which our childhood experiences shape the way we parent. Illuminating important research in the field of interpersonal neurobiology, Siegel and Hartzell explain how the parent-child relationship directly affects brain development, and offer parents a step-by-step approach to forming a deeper understanding of their own life stories to help them raise compassionate and resilient children.
Based on the latest research on brain development and extensive clinical experience with parents, Dr. Laura Markham's approach is as simple as it is effective. Her message: Fostering emotional connection with your child creates real and lasting change. When you have that vital connection, you don't need to threaten, nag, plead, bribe - or even punish. This remarkable guide will help parents better understand their own emotions - and get them in check - so they can parent with healthy limits, empathy, and clear communication.

A tour of global practices that will inspire American parents to expand their horizons (and geographical borders) and learn that there's more than one way to diaper a baby. Mei-Ling Hopgood, a first-time mom from suburban Michigan - now living in Buenos Aires - was shocked that Argentine parents allow their children to stay up until all hours of the night. Could there really be social and developmental advantages to this custom?

Goals are something we use to incentivize ourselves to do things we wouldn't otherwise have the desire to do. There is something inherently wrong with this at its core. Goal-setting and tracking merely works to ensure that we spend more time doing things we aren't truly passionate about.

Each day we face a barrage of images and messages from society and the media telling us who, what, and how we should be. We are led to believe that if we could only look perfect and lead perfect lives, we'd no longer feel inadequate. So most of us perform, please, and perfect, all the while thinking, What if I can't keep all of these balls in the air? Why isn't everyone else working harder and living up to my expectations? What will people think if I fail or give up? When can I stop proving myself?
"Feel good therapy session"
Arguably the most organized man in America, Andrew J. Mellen has created unique, lasting techniques for streamlined living, bringing order out of chaos for a client list that includes attorneys, filmmakers, and even psychologists.

"Thinking that could leads to change"
Nine years ago, best-selling author and business consultant Mark Sanborn introduced the world to Fred, his postman, who delivered extraordinary service in simple but remarkable ways. Fred's story inspired millions. Companies - even, cities - were inspired to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary each day. Today, with stiff competition from the networked global economy, delivering extraordinary results is more important than ever. With Fred 2.0, Mark not only revisits the original Fred to gain new insights, but also equips all of us with new strategies to achieve more.
Based on seven years of ground-breaking research and hundreds of interviews, I Thought It Was Just Me shines a long-overdue light on an important truth: Our imperfections are what connect us to each other and to our humanity. Our vulnerabilities are not weaknesses; they are powerful reminders to keep our hearts and minds open to the reality that we're all in this together.
"Love the book, not the narrator"
Every new project (or job, or hobby, or company) starts out exciting and fun. Then it gets harder and less fun, until it hits a low point: really hard, and not much fun at all. And then you find yourself asking if the goal is even worth the hassle. Maybe you're in a Dip: a temporary setback that you will overcome if you keep pushing. But maybe it's really a Cul-de-Sac, which will never get better, no matter how hard you try.
"Seth Should Have Quit"
Through its five previous editions, Investing in Real Estate has shown investors how to intelligently build wealth with their investments in houses, condominiums, and small apartment buildings. Unlike many titles in this genre, Investing in Real Estate steers clear of the hyped-up no cash, no credit, no problem promises. Instead, it provides sound, real-world advice and instruction that reflects the authors time-tested wisdom and experience.
"Lots of Meat, no Fluff"
Often downplayed in the excitement of starting up a new business venture is one of the most important decisions entrepreneurs will face: should they go it alone, or bring in cofounders, hires, and investors to help build the business? More than just financial rewards are at stake. Friendships and relationships can suffer. Bad decisions at the inception of a promising venture lay the foundations for its eventual ruin.

Storytelling has come of age in the business world. Today, many of the most successful companies use storytelling as a leadership tool.

"Provided stories to use in business"
A fun and funny guide to dating from the New York Times best-selling authors of It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken and He's Just Not That Into You. Why does dating have to be so hard?

The ordeals of 21st-century dating, from online dating and hooking up to pulling the plug when it isn't working, will soon be easy to navigate.
"Not as good as others"
Legions of self-help authors rightly urge personal development as the key to happiness, but they typically fail to focus on its most important objective: hardiness. Though that which doesn't kill us can make us stronger, as Nietzsche tells us, few authors today offer any insight into just how to springboard from adversity to strength. It doesn't just happen automatically, and it takes practice. New scientific research suggests that resilience isn't something with which only a fortunate few of us have been born, but rather something we can all take specific action to develop.

"Presumes a damaged childhood"
We're all addicted to something - but when the crutch gets in the way of living a happy and productive life, it must stop. Over the last 25 years, renowned addiction therapist Dr. Fred Woolverton has used his dynamic, empathetic approach to help thousands of addicts achieve long-term recovery - including himself and his coauthor Susan Shapiro, whom he helped quit smoking and drinking and find success in both love and her career. Dr. Woolverton views the external habit as less important than the chaos and fear underlying the addiction, which we use to regulate our feelings.

The gorgeous golden retriever Ricochet seemed destined to be a service dog from the moment she was born.

If these self-defeating habits sound familiar, Emotional Sobriety will shed light on why and how these coping mechanisms threaten your health and impact resilience
"Great Book for those from Dysfunction"

When fourth-billed Lana Turner reached the bottom of those Ziegfeldian stars to the strains of Nacio Herb Brown and Gus Kahn's lilting "You Stepped Out of a Dream" she found herself a full-fledged star. The writers, of course, had done the novice actress untold favors by creating for her the show's only full-bodied character, the one bright spot in what essentially is an overproduced bore saddled with a screenplay as hackneyed as they come and rare sub-par performances from Judy Garland (at her giddiest worst) and James Stewart. The story hardly improved with age and when it came time to film Jacqueline Susann's updated version, now whimsically called Valley of the Dolls (1967), there was no longer anyone around with Lana's special brand of manufactured glamour and the whole enterprise appeared as stale and old-fashioned as -- well, as Ziegfeld Girl.

Yeah who IS the copy editor at Blizzard? I'd like to have a talk with them. It's enormously frustrating for a former copy editor, and lover of the English language, to see all the mistakes that make it into game. Those things just jump out at you and grab you--how can any editor worth their salt let them slide?
As a former copyeditor, you should know that copyeditors are overworked, underpaid, and unappreciated as a rule. So have a word with Blizzard's management, not the three copyeditors Blizzard employs. Mistakes that did make it into the game likely never even came before a copyeditor's eyes. "Ah, who cares? We need to get this up" is the way it works now.

Government entities have also turned to dedicated call centers with highly trained employees to staff them in order to solve all manner of disasteror problem.
These call centers are something that aren't remotely limited to the United States or North America. The National Contact Centre (NCC) of Bahrain has become incredibly popular in the center's portion of the world. The NCC actually tallied a record in phone calls over the last week, logging more than 5,000 calls on Monday, September 17 alone. The government has of Bahrain has responded by actually increasing the number of phone lines that are available for the contact center.
The call rates for incoming calls to the NCC have seen a pretty consistently small wait time. Despite a massive amount of incoming calls, the wait time has averaged just 10 seconds until a caller is able to talk to an operator. The NCC having even more lines dedicated to the center will allow that wait time to stay as long as that for as long as possible. The NCC has come close to being completely overloaded with an influx of calls over the last few weeks.
"The National Contact Centre has never experienced such increase in call volumes in one day, it indicates the importance of the government services which have been previously announced by the launched awareness campaigns as they boost the usage rate of services provided via the NCC," saideGovernment Authority Marketing and Awareness Directorate assistant director Mr. Mohammad Ziad Asfour. The eGovernment agency is the group that maintains the call center for the Bahrain government.

DS version of Modern Warfare 3 confirmed
Activision has confirmed that they have a DS version of Modern Warfare 3 in the pipeline.
Activision's go-to studio for DS games n-Space is working on the portable version of Modern Warfare 3 although there is seemingly no 3DS version in development.
N-Space explained on their forums: "You guys all need to understand that we make the games we are hired to make. It is not our call to decide which platforms to support. Obviously we are big 3DS fans and supporters as we have 3 titles in development. If it were as simple as us choosing what products and platforms to develop for I would get a lot more sleep."
Earlier this week Activision confirmed that there was a Wii version in the works and has now said that it is being handled by Treyarch.
Thanks CVG.

It's Not Delivery, It's Damnation.
So long ago began
the ever growing free for all,
The all you can eat,
dog eat dog world,
Where commonplace
are the simplistic struggles.
So out of hand,
that solutions become
ironically complex...
Hell's buffet,
straight out and down
from the kitchen above,
down the slip n' slide
through the caverns
of mishaps and mistakes,
I bet it tastes like regret,
and the buyer's remorse,
Reap what you sew say
the teeth of the demon,
With every bite sinks
in a shame filled saliva.
"Maybe we'll slow them down!"
Say the so called thinkers...
I can't help but think against them,
but what do I know?
I'm just a common crumb in the trough.
Above Heaven watches,
restricted by the local law
to keep the peace...
nothing is ever done,
but to keep the balance.
Made of What We Are.
Endlessly in the end,
shall I let flow the passion.
Our own, the love undying
to the very cadence of Heaven's joy.
This paradise discovered,
that when my heart speaks of you,
with a burning passion,
that right away I write away.
Thank you God, for Anael's gift...
This now love from afar,
to this portrait of perfection
That to I shall return....
To this, my angelic fire,
I am bound forevermore,
by unbreakable vows
to that true sense of belonging...
For this living gift,
Shall I be home in a heartbeat,
to fulfill that elated kiss,
To glorify her in full.
The Changing Tide
The era is now passed through which I lived and favored,
and my patience then packs its bags for hiatus,
with which to remind me that perhaps
brighter days lie in sunny hammocks ahead.
Here and alas lays the road to that sunny setting,
upon which I walk and tread the changing tide.
The next item on the list of Fates agenda and her passionate affair with time...
the seconds will carry on like the beats of my undying heart.
The fire that burns in my eyes, through which I see is only assuaged
by the tears they produce...
the tears I produce in my longing for some peace of some sort.
Yet those tears shall only accompany the sweat of my efforts.
Once upon a time, in the dream come true through which I slept,
did a fairy tale once exist
that tale of my tale through endless times of a dream come true
and gone by in the era that I once lived and favored.
Yet Another Fallen Host
My, what hope lies
in the half empty glass,
trembling by tremor and leer.
At such a long road's end,
does it rise and shatter.
What understanding have you,
of fear, of pestilence,
other than the existence of self.
Imposed, the creation
to be eventually bled out.
Filthy, the very cause
by which the water rises,
boiling with blisters
in the overwhelming sin
of the ever beating sun above.
Freedom, to the acrostic asininity
now found laughing atop the grave...
the grave of past gone by,
decaying with every bite
of a gluttonous sloth with an ancient cause.
That to my eyes, the mass hysteria,
borderline loss of sanity from the commonalty.
Have I lost track or do my eyes deceive,
the horsemen's tracks are of disarray,
and I know not which one has come.
Now, the angels look onward,
gazing with hopeless eyes,
searching for faith in the fallen creation,
who now wither and crawl,
away as they fall, into the Abyss....
Declines, the signs of the end,
the near and far come and go,
as the war seeps t
The Book of Excerpts: Re-Reformation
What is this delusion before me?
This dreadful illusion that I do now see?
I fear such terror from the powers that be...
Those angels above, those demons below.
The Horsemen to come reap and to sew.
I see the once powerful flock, now come so low.
God how I pray this to be but a phase,
To leave this to past and within a haze.
Bring us out of this horrid maze!
Your people stand divided, stumbling forward
To a future cloudy and grim, blinded yet onward.
Power drunken fools,ignorant to your true word.
Give me this life's chance to make due change,
To adjust and assist in this time so strange...
This time in which we must to our ways estrange.
Father, I swear to you, that with my power,
Until my last breath and final hour,
I will restore you and never once cower.
With so many that believe not,
Who never found the proof they ever sought,
I will do what I may, as if never have I fought.
By Death and a prayer,
Through my tongue
A burning blade into
The hearts of many.
You know me not
But a name and a rumor.
Yes, to the will and way
By which I attempt to live.
Human am I, yet ever so strange.
Far gone, and close to madness
But still am I sane
By Death and a prayer.
That Elated Kiss
Between us both, that kiss of God
From to and upon the souls within the very cores.
The fruit of this knowledge was not ill-gained,
As meant for mine eyes was the gotten teaching.
Ah yes, the inspired motivator amongst my tongue,
Pure, but deadly, as to protect what is owned
By the cavities that contain ours, the beating hearts.
This marathon to & through
which I gladly volunteer to run,
Has my limbs aflame, enthralled with elation,
Striking down to its knees, the very calamity that
once over took me. Bless you, from above,
as from my lips between us both, a kiss from your lover.
Atychiphobic Solution
Outcast and away from shore,
to the center of still waters,
where rest my tears.
A float, the setting sun
beats its dying light
against my coffin.
Where within lies
my mind in darkness,
afloat amongst the still
waters of my tears.
Confined to a rotting cage of wood,
Time is my mortician,
embalming me
at the edge of my thought.
The haunting consistency overtakes me,
compromising the process of my existence.
God help me, as the wood
is surely rotting all around me
I shall hold my breath
Just this once and final time.
I have found the haunted wake
past the lens of my sight.
I am the mad man,
within the shell of me
fighting that battle
which I reluctantly wage.
I will wait with my patience,
which with me drowns...
I will await the oak of my coffin to rot,
so that I may break free,
and swim away from my demise beneath,
To the above of my fallen tears
to whatever light remains & awaits me,
in the new world that I will call my own.
2. Maze Upon The Mountain
Around my throat pulled the rugged noose,
tighter with every upward movement...
Though beheld I chains of gold as a harness,
inching me along the way up.
I scaled the mountain of my own,
whilst I tread in its vertical labyrinth...
To my back, a mirror follows my every move,
the constant reminder of every falter.
From above comes down an ever flowing stream,
washing clean from me the blood, sweat, and tears.
Such is the waters of life that I chose to follow,
as the overflow my thirst and tired limbs.
At my feet, the heat of a million fires,
giving rise to the sulfuric smell of Rock Bottom...
Where from and down the rugged noose yanks.
Burning to a cinder, my forest once dark.
The rope tugs with a playful tease
and with my every breath do I hear the laughing pullers...
Still do I carry on, seemingly towards hopelessness,
where Death is all that my eyes can see.
The chains are what nudge me on,
carrying me upon all paths which lead me Home.
Assisting my ascension, onward to my a
A warrior's funeralI am tired
For I have endured
This arduous battle
Without being inured
My blade is stained
With the blood of enemies
But ho! Victory I have attained!
Though at the cost of my life
I am cold, so very cold
And my lifeblood is seeping out
My firsn'final battle shall be over soon
As all are injured hereabout
I am young for this war
For I took my father's place
To die in battle I swore
Just as he did years ago
This is a warrior's funeral
Mine is a death of valor
I would never hide
And I will never cower
For Heaven's call
Is to those who stand and fight
And he who in battle will fall
Is he who bears a warrior's might!
Angel TearsImagine a raindrop is an angel's tear
Falling from heaven on Gaia's mortal fear
Weeping in unity their children's lost soul
Heaven's pure spirit evil now doth control
Eden of rapture consumed by time's flow
A lost utopia where gluttony doth grow.
Alluring serpent's lair humans covet the bait
Devourer of truth so poisoned with hate
Innocence now lost in maelstrom of desire
Purity long blackened by greed's hungry fire
The spirit debased evil darkens the heart
The nefarious abductor tears the soul apart
The moment approaches the farmer shall reap
Love now eternal for faithful lost sheep
Gnashing of teeth those left in despair
Time now elapsed for repentance and prayer
Renounce the darkness and take gentle heed
Embrace the truth be the Lamb's seed
Can I Place My FaithCan I place my faith,
in this chair when I sit?
Can I place my faith,
and relax in it?
Can I trust in the sun?
Can I trust in the moon?
Can I depend on daylight to shine?
Can I trust the moon to glow?
If I go to the stop at the corner,
will the bus eventually come?
If I go to the bank,
will my money still be there?
Will the grocery store always be full?
Will Wal-Mart's prices always be low?
Can I have faith in nature?
Can I put any trust in the world?
If people make a promise,
can I rely on them to keep their word?
I put faith in nature and the world.
I trust people at their word.
I put my faith in things from the world.
What about the One in heaven?
Can I have faith in God above?
Can I trust in His love?
Can I depend on the Lord of hosts?
Can I believe He is close?
Can I go to church and trust in Him?
Can I trust He'll hear, even when my voice is thin?
Can I believe God is there?
Can I trust He heard my prayer?
Do I believe God rises the sun?

The Long Waged WarLet out your anger
Let out your rage
Put up your fists
You've got a war to wage
Hatred is the key
To winning this war
Destroy yourself
And those you abhor
Ignore the burns
Ignore the black and blue
Just smash down the walls
Break right through
For your enemy is gracious
He accepts death with open arms
And never would he ever
Bring you any harm
He loves you dearly
For you he would die
He'd never ask twice
Wouldn't blink an eye
So don't shed a tear
He won't die in vain
When you stab his chest
He won't feel any pain
Only love for his beloved
Which is you, my dear
Too late to cower
Too late to fear
March right in
And claim your right
But instead kneel down
At the glory of his light
He is true love and patience
He is peace and kindness
He will touch your eyes
And heal your blindness
Let out your tears
Let go of your rage
For this is a war
You no longer wish to wage
Father GodI created people to need and love one another. That never changed, even when sin entered into the world. Yet in spite of my desire for loving harmony, families often make a mess of their relationship.
I warned David that his sin would cause problems within his family. Ultimately, after simmering and planning for two years, one of David's son killed the other in vengeance for their sister. If only they had sought me in the process...I love to help families secure and strengthen their bonds.
I believe in family. I believe in family so much that I'm building an eternal home for mine. Meanwhile, I'm right here in the midst of your earthly family-and my heart's desire is to help you come together in peace and mutual love. Just call on me for guidance. After all, I'm a Father. I want to help my children.
The Devout, The Divine, The Deceased
Three are they,
Of Heavenly origin.
Governed by the Highest Throne,
and led by the Horsemen.
Devout are the Grim Trinity.
As death has never ceased
So true to the cause are they...
By cursed and divine blades.
The Patrons of the Deceased and Dying...
and of those related to the involved.
Divine by right is the Angel...
Unholy by cause is the Demon...
Leader by title is the Nephilim.
By them are taken souls guided,
Through them are souls
released or enslaved.

3:27AM December 3rd 2013
Hello again…
It's been over one year since my last post. I just read it over and was initially shocked and inspired by my (if I do say so myself) well written blurb, and secondly, inspired again by my enthusiasm.
I have had a rough year. Shortly after my last post I ended things with a very significant person in my life. Romantically, emotionally, friendshiply… that isn't a word but I have no doubt anyone reading this can relate to the word. I have had a very rough go of it these past 13 months. I haven't felt myself in quite awhile.
I have struggled, and am still struggling, through some intense experiences. But tonight I spent an hour on my balcony chain smoking cigarettes and listening to Michael Buble's Christmas album. I can't explain why or what it means to me, but understand that it means a lot. Anyway, I came back inside and looked at myself in the mirror. I mean really looked at myself. I stripped down literally and LOOKED. I looked at what I saw. At 3AM in the very large, brand new and shiny apartment bathroom mirror I saw someone I do not recognize. I saw someone I have been ignoring, avoiding, eliminating, imagining wasn't real……. Who I have become. I did not like what I saw.
10 minutes ago while looking (dissecting, picking apart, patronizing, and honestly staring in disbelief) at this person reflecting back at me, I made a decision. I have held back in so many situations in the last year PURELY because of my physical appearance and how I viewed myself and ultimately how I imagine(d) people viewed me. That isn't what I want to do anymore. I know myself, and I understand the road ahead of me. I know I will have to continue dissecting, picking apart, patronizing and staring in disbelief at myself for awhile, but I hope in time (soooooon) that that dissection and disbelief will turn into awe, pride, inspiration and determination. I've done it before, I can do it again. I just need to find what I found before. It all came from within myself. I rely on no one else to get me there. I will rely on friends for support. I have a very tight knit group, all of whom know what I am going through, that can help support, inspire and help keep me on track.
This feels haphazard and that is because it is. I am drunk. I drank 2 bottles of wine and smoked nearly 10 cigarettes tonight. Not including the 3 I smoked earlier today. I have reached a point in this life I have been granted in which I want to take control of my direction and happiness.
Here is a list of my goals for the end of December:
Finish this pack of cigarettes and say goodbye to them
Attend an AA meeting with my dad
Start running again
Inquire at Golds Gym about costs/deals/just get info
Spend $0 on delivery/take-out
Prepare snacks for work
Wash my makeup off every night
Organize myself for next semester
Join a Yoga studio
Unpack all of my boxes
Walk Vinny once a day
Hang my mirror
Finish my headboard
Celebrate NYE and stop drinking after Dec 31
Write an attainable NY resolution list and put it somewhere safe
Buy a new journal
Tell him how you feel
That last one is tentative and most important, which is why it is in italics and last on the list. I'm in love with someone who I haven't told… and I need to tell them. I need to.
This has been a very spontaneous but much needed outlet for many thoughts. I will be back soon. I need to be back soon.

PUSH has created its first masterwork since 2009's Geva premiere of Dracula, using its signature innovative choreography and breathtaking athleticism to once again draw viewers into classic literature and larger-than-life characters in a groundbreaking way.

Arc of Ages is a collection of epic tales from the cradle of western civilization. Kings and Slaves...Lovers and Liars...Epic Tales of Life and Death.
Jewish Community Center's Artistic Director Ralph Meranto has invited PUSH back to CenterStage to present a new, full-length piece especially for his theatre's 2012-2013 season.

Despite its years in the making, Arc of Ages includes a majority of brand new work – and a cast that's almost five times the size of PUSH's current company of five. "Arc of Ages is PUSH's most ambitious project so far, and we are excited to share it with Rochester first," says Artistic Director, Darren Stevenson.

Blackhawk XP52 Makeover for King Air B200
A comprehensive deal was signed here at NBAA for the first Blackhawk XP52 replacement engine modification of a Hawker Beechcraft King Air B200 equipped with Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics. The 3,500-hour aircraft is owned by LJ Aviation of Latrobe, Penn., which purchased it new in 2006.
The twin turboprop will also receive Raisbeck Engineering's (Booth No. 2266) Epic Gold performance package, BLR winglets and LED lighting. The modifications will be performed by Hawker Beechcraft Services (Booth No. 2598) in Wichita.
"This makes a tremendous airplane that much better," said aircraft owner Ed Kilkeary, president of LJ Aviation.
"Hawker Beechcraft negotiated with Collins to let us go into their box, update their box and change the range marking of the engine gages. That's what was required for us to add this to our existing STC," said Blackhawk Modifications (Booth No. 4112) president Jim Allmon.
The Raisbeck package includes the ram-air recovery system, enhanced-performance wing leading edges, dual aft body strakes and enclosed high float gear doors. Kilkeary estimates he will see improved safety margins and a 30- to 35-knot increase in max speed with the modifications installed.
Kilkeary estimates the total cost of the modifications at $1.3 million. "It's important for us to have the best," he said. – M.H.

Lovely views of the North Sea and presumably great golf courses. My suite was quite large and pretty comfortable
Mostly disliked the atrium which by its design and its decor made it feel like a second tier convention hotel. Compared to its closest competitor in town, the Old Course, the Fairmont was decidedly lacking in style and distinction. The common rooms (restaurants, bars,...) have no character or luxurious feeling to them.

Aquarian Response 2 Drumhead (Black)
View All Recently Viewed Items
Great attack, and consistent tone from drum to drum.
Aquarian Response 2 Drumhead (Black)
This Response 2 is a 2-ply ebony head that can be tuned tight or loose and played hard or soft and you'll hear every beat. It is manufactured with Aquarian's Vacuum Process that eliminates air bubbles and wrinkles between the two plies. Full sound, great attack and consistent tone from drum to drum.Safe—T-Loc hoopThis hoop system prevents slippage inside the hoop so that the head does not de-tune during a performance and will not pull out. Tuning is consistent and the head stays in tune.Sound Curve Collar DesignThis design allows the drumhead to seat perfectly on the bearing edge. No wrinkles even with loose tuning. It conforms instantly to any shell design and makes tuning fast, easy, and more accurate.Triple-Locking SystemThis unique system provides drummers with previously unheard-of advantages in resonance and playability. Firstly, holes are punched in the bottom of a U-shaped channel formed in the drumhead. These holes allow the epoxy to flow into the "Safe-T-Loc" channel. Secondly, the T-Ribs that form the Safe-T-Loc channel prevent the epoxy and the drumhead from slipping and pulling away from the hoop. Lastly, the Locking Shoulder acts as a "stop" to ensure the correct collar height for the drumhead.

The picture on the left was taken TWO WEEKS AFTER the one on the right… Weird, right?
I'm going to start this out by saying – Pregnancy is freaking weird.
A few weeks ago I came down with a horrible cold that turned into bronchitis. I can't remember the last time I was that sick. I'm not even going to try to pretend it was easy or that I was maintaining well during those weeks. I was miserable. I couldn't keep food down. My throat was on fire. I was coughing constantly with an ear ache of doom and pressure in my sinuses that made me want to go into a coma. It was gnarly.
During that time all I could think about was keeping my prenatals down, drinking protein/vitamin shakes and staying hydrated. I couldn't take any real medicine, so I suffered through it.
My pregnancy complications have left me with a very sensitive abdomen that hurts with slight pressure. It hurts when I cough, sneeze and blow my nose. I had to learn to do all three of those with my ribs or down below my uterus and use every muscle I could except my abdomen. Do you realize how freaking weird and difficult that is?! I started to refer to my low cough technique as my "crotch cough". At one point I had sneezed and coughed so much that my ribs felt like they broke.
We were also having a lovely heat wave in Southern California. Superfantastic fun times!
I've never worried about peeing myself like many pregnant women experience. I always took comfort in that. But, I was wearing a pad dealing with pee-leakage from my crotch coughing technique. To say I was a hot mess is an understatement. Why am I sharing this TMI-ness? One, because it's funny (now) and I also have a point…
Earlier this week, when I reached 34 weeks to the day, and my belly bump went missing one morning. I'm not even shitting you… it was gone. In my groggy morning confusion I glanced around the bed as if my daughter crawled out of me during the night. I immediately panicked, got a glass of ice water and did fetal kicks. She was moving fine but it HURT. She was in there, obviously, but all I felt was baby and not much else. I'm not a pee-leaker. I know a lot of women pee-leak during pregnancy but I don't. I was like a pee-leaky faucet all morning… or was it pee-leak?
With both of my previous births I had a slow and high leak. I had to have my water broken after I was induced. I wondered if my water broke? Well, I had some crazy watery discharge and I was leaking.
I know… TMI… but, with pregnancy, labor and birth there is no way to filter out the grossness properly!
34 weeks on the dot – the big final stretch milestone before she is considered full-term, after months of bed rest and I may have a high leak? Crapsticks.
A friend of mine stopped by and echoed my concern over my vanishing abdomen. I think her being concerned made me go from, "Isn't this freaking weird?!" to "Oh shit!".
I went in to the hospital to be monitored. I hate the hospital. I don't know how most people feel about hospitals, but I have always had an unhealthy dislike for them. There are few things I use the word hate for. I avoid it as much as possible and only go in if absolutely necessary. This was one of those times.
My growing ninja girl checked out well. I wasn't leaking when I went in and there were no signs of amniotic fluids or infection. The thing with a high and slow leak is if they can't find the leakage when they test it there is no way to know. I had a slow high leak with my oldest and it took three visits for them to get a positive swab. At this point it's a concern about infection and the membranes releasing the big waterfall of labor fluids.
The nurses commented on how healthy my daughter is and that she is VERY active. I know how active she is… she is constantly having a dance party up in there! We joked around about how feisty she is and it was all reassuring. I was able to go home.
But, what the crap happened to my belly bump?
I saw my OB the next day and the first thing she said was, "Oh this amazing feisty little problem child is continuing to keep us on our toes!" – I asked her if she thought all of this was super weird and she said, "For everyone else I would say yes but EVERYTHING is weird with you!"
I love that I can joke around with my doctor while dealing with all these weird situations. She is very professional and absolutely amazing, but she has the sense of humor I need.
We did an ultrasound and my daughter is more than fine. She's continuing to measure larger than expected – There was concern that she had stopped growing and that is why my abdomen appeared to be smaller. She really hadn't moved much at all since the last ultrasound just two weeks prior so she didn't "drop" significantly. All the amniotic fluids levels were fine. Everything was fine. But, I was visibly smaller.
Basically, she's trouble.
Conclusion? Who the hell knows! The important thing is that my daughter is healthy and so am I.
Was I peeing myself? Who the hell knows! Since I have no signs of infection and I haven't continued to leak I can wait it out.
Am I going crazy?! Probably! But, dammit look at the picture and see the difference.
Could my baby ninja be taking that nickname a little too far and started vanishing training early?! Yes! See above comment about me going crazy.
I'm starting all of the lovely prelabor bodily weirdness. Yes, I know the process of bringing a baby into the world is natural, lovely, beautiful and all of those warm fuzzy awesomeness feelings – but, let's be real… It's also really gross!
I went from being diagnosed with some really frightening pregnancy complications and accepting a mandatory early c-section – getting stuck on bed rest – having things resolve themselves and being able to consider a vaginal birth – her being breeched and no more vaginal birth – then everything looked fan-freaking-tastic because she flipped and my abruption stopped – to … where the crap did my abdomen go and am I going to go into early preterm labor?
Tomorrow I will be 35 weeks. All I can think about is how I want to reach that 36 mark! I'm getting greedy but dammit this has been a long road and things are looking amazing. I want her to hold on a little longer before we welcome her into the world…
And maybe… just maaaaaybe… if she holds on for one more week I will find my freaking abdomen.

The Celebritus Americanus (or American celebrity) is a creature hunted, studied, dissected and eventually discarded. e-Travel Blackboard dons their safari gear and joins experienced trackers, TMZ, on a tour through the wilds of Hollywood to spot these, sometimes illusive, creatures in their 'natural' environment.
Often thought to be nocturnal, the Celebritus Americanus, drawn by hunger (or Valentino), will occasionally make the dangerous journey into daylight. Harangued by paparazzi, they have adapted camouflage techniques (the covering of faces with open fingers, dating a Kardashian) in the hope of going about their everyday lives (dating a Kardashian) undetected.
Like avid bird watchers the paparazzi stalk their prey and have, at the ready, a steady slew of celebrity-spotting tools. Join e-Travel Blackbird on the TMZ Hollywood Tour to learn their secrets.

A belated b-day gift to super awesome artist Nargyle! Her OC Enna is so much fun to draw! Nargyle if you are reading this I really admire your work and it really motivates me to keep drawing and do better! I apologize if the coloring looks a bit rushed but I hope it looks appealing enough to you ^^; and HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!
P.S. I also I apologize for not including Enna's jacket. I tried to draw it but the baggy sleeves kept throwing me off and it made the anatomy of the arms look messed up X_X

You must have really enjoyed the orange juice :]
EDIT: Front page!?!!? *Dies*
EDIT: Fifth place game; Month of July 2008.
I'd like to thank everybody that made this possible,
i never knew the game would be that popular :D
Glad you liked it, PM me if you have suggestions, or critiques.
Thanks a bunch :]
WARNING: This movie contains strobing colors, high pitched tones, and an angry computer;
By playing this flash game you agree as viewer that I, the author, am not at all
responsible for any injury that may happen to you. Thank you.
I'll never be the same after making this flash.
Every single letter made in this had to be done frame by frame,
the most tedious, back breaking progress that i'll probably never do again.
This isn't your normal test,
it helps you discover yourself, and compare yourself to others.
And yes, it's a quiz.
You get scored on every click you make, so,
pay attention.
Enjoy ;]
1. Select [cancel load]
2. Select each answer that is furthest to the left for every question.
3. When you get to the numbered task, select 36 in the top left corner.
4. Keep selecting answers furthest to the left.
6. Again, continue pressing answers that are furthest to the left.
Done now? When you get to your final score, it should be 51.
If it's something else, you did it wrong.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars July 27, 2008
Abstractly surreal
I was sort of reminded of Portal a bit through this, but that's probably just me. Bagels and orange juice...?
It's pretty neat to play this sort of quiz because of the atmosphere you put into it--it's not just some clear-cut, defined answer sheet, and one never knows the effect of each one...I got a 93, but I have no clue what that means. The ambiguity of some of the questions here make for a surreal experience, and the music got into my head after a while. I'd say this was one cool flash.
I was honest this time through, but I think I'm going to take it again while lying everywhere. Heheh. Great work on this--there's still a few grammar errors, but nothing serious enough to burn my eyes. Keep making neat, out-of-the-damn-box stuff like this. :D
6th person to say that it reminded them of portal :D
And yes, Bagels and Orange juice.
Honesty gets you the most accurate score, so, i'm glad you did it.
93 is a great score.
And yes, some people have said there's a couple grammar errors, but,
nobody is perfect ;[
Oh well, thanks for reviewing :]
Rated 5 / 5 stars July 27, 2008
Like this kind of quiz, though it's really hurtful at times. How about a sequel, hmmmm? =)
I'll think about it, trust me,
a lot of people are suggesting it, but,
i'm not the biggest fan of sequels, unless,
it's COMPLETELY and totally better than the first.
Let's see if i can do it. :]

The thing at the end about how social and happy and stuff is actually kinda accurate >> its scary
Truth: 82
Altered truths: 71
great game i guess but whats with the creepy hard yelling metal rock song at the end :P
Be afraid, if i had put more questions,
it'd be even MORE accurate :D
Thanks for playing man,
and that's just the type of music i listen to.
I needed something brutal to make up for
the creepy-ness of the rest of the movie.
Maybe i'll make it so you don't have to view the credits afterward.
But thanks for reviewing :]

Faculties of Architecture, Arts, Economics and Commerce, Education, Engineering, Land and Food Resources, Music and Science are all popular among study abroad students, and faculties like Medicine, Dentistry, Health Science, Law and Veterinary Science contribute greatly to the research profile of the University and may provide you with an opportunity to access courses that you can't take in the U.S.
If one of your academic goals is to take courses that will teach you a bit more about Australia, these are available throughout the university. The Australian Centre offers interdisciplinary and comparative courses that relate to Australia's culture, politics, and environment. Some courses even involve fieldwork in Central Australia. The Environmental Studies Department is another highlight, with courses across faculties you can focus on policy, science or economic aspects of the environment. Engineering students have found courses which fit well into the U.S. degree structure. If this isn't enough, internships are available in many fields as well. Of course, this is only a small sample of the courses available to you.
At Melbourne, you will typically take four courses per semester earning 16 semester hours of credit on your Arcadia University transcript.
Enhancing the academic experience at the University is the location of the campus, situated in the center of Melbourne. You'll find all of the amenities you'd expect from a campus of 30,000 students. The Student Union sponsors concerts, art exhibits, and a theater as well as many clubs and societies. If you prefer just sitting around with friends having a bite to eat, there are more then 15 cafes and restaurants on-campus and probably over one hundred more within a ten minute walk of the campus.
Several accommodation options are available depending upon the living environment you desire. If you want to really become part of campus-life, residential colleges are a great option, while other students enjoy the independence of living in student apartments.

EXCERPT: Ash spins around, makes a peace sign and says, "yes we got Pidgeotto" and then Pikachu is all like "pikachu!!!" while also doing a peace sign. "i'm the greatest," says Ash. "you're the worst!" says Misty, and she remarks on how awful at pokemon battling Ash is. she has a good point. Misty explains to Ash that bird pokemon are powerful against bug pokemon and that you have to have a good strategy to win a battle. Ash says, "but if you just try hard enough!!" and Misty is like "shut up Ash, you have to be smart, trying hard is a myth, we are the 99%, occupy Veridian City."
the ghosts of Team Rocket show up with a giant letter R and a bunch of smoke bombs. they recite their motto. it's worth noting that james's voice is a lot more low pitched and less campy than he gets in later episodes. more on that later. meowth tells Ash that Pikachu is exceptionally strong for its level, which makes James and Jessie mad. I guess that was supposed to be a secret? not a very good secret.
