Chapter 16. To Lea Marquisate (3)
TL: Warriormonk
Editor: Isleidir
The following spar was completely different from any of the previous duels.
"Wh-What the fuck?"
Luke's eyes almost popped out of his face in surprise. Kurotan's movements had suddenly sped up by more than twice. His strength had also improved incomparably from his previous state.
Kaang. Kkaang.
Luke retreated while frowning after the swords clashed a couple of times. His hands were numb from the shock of Kurotan's blows.
"How is this even possible? Kurotan only awakened his Aura last night, and he's already using it to strengthen his strength and agility…"
Unlike Luke's frowning face, Kurotan's face shone with ecstasy.
"Good, it has been a while, this feeling."
Chwaang. Chwang.
It did not take a long time before Luke's movements became disorderly.
Kurotan's attacks were simple and straightforward, because he had only learned basic sword techniques. The path of his attacks, in other words, was perfectly clear. However, it was difficult for Luke to keep up with Kurotan when he had almost doubled his physical abilities through his Aura.
"Keeuk, En-Enough."
Luke raised his hand in a gesture, and Kurotan backed off reluctantly.
"What is it? You're already tired?"
"I was the one saying that, just yesterday…"
Luke sheathed his sword, and plopped himself down by the campfire, a spaced out look on his face. Kurotan squared out his shoulders with a confident look.
"I cannot yet display my full abilities because I don't have enough Aura. Time will solve this problem."
"Oh, great, it must be nice for you to have a genius level talent."
Kurotan glanced curiously at Luke, who was complaining.
"You cannot yet control your Aura?"
"No, I can't."
"Why not?"
Luke spat back in annoyance.
"How would I know? Every time I try to suppress it and bring it under my control, it slips away…"
"Your method is incorrect."
"Aura, or Maal's Blessing, cannot be moved forcibly."
"Then how can I control it?"
"First, you must become closer with the Aura. In other words, befriend it."
Luke rolled his eyes. How do you become friends with a non-living thing such as Aura, a form of processed mana?
"It will all become clear once you befriend Aura. The process is a little bit tricky, but once you befriend Aura, it will entrust itself to you. You must wait calmly until then."
Luke swallowed in a sort of anticipation. He had never heard anything like this from his senior Knights. Until now, the only method he had been taught to control Aura was to forcibly suppress and then move it.
'Is this how Orcs are able to control Aura so easily without even having a structured technique for Aura cultivation?'
Luke looked at Kurotan seriously. Humans would not walk around blabbering about the secrets to controlling Aura. Even if a human was willing to share the secret, it'd most likely be for a huge price. However, Kurotan did no such thing.
Luke listened intently to the rest of Kurotan's explanation.
"If I just befriend Aura, I can circulate it through my body, just like you?"
"Yes. But there is a single requirement."
"What is that?"
"The circulation path must be smooth and natural. Aura and mana are very different. Unlike mana, Aura will stop and retreat to its original place if the pathway is not natural."
"Is that so? So that's why you emphasized a natural pathway so much."
"Yes. The ways that warriors earn Maal's blessing, or awaken Aura, can differ. But one rule must absolutely be followed."
"The flow of the mana must be natural?"
Luke tweaked his head in curiosity.
"But how do I feel whether or not the flow of mana is unnatural?"
"That is up to you. As with Aura, you must first befriend mana for everything to be clear."
Luke frowned.
"Isn't that too abstract?"
"I will tell you step by step, how to befriend mana."
"Ok, I'll give it a shot."
Luke followed Kurotan's instructions and tried to 'befriend' mana. It was a method that demanded incredible patience from Luke.
"Try to feel the flow of the mana, to become one with it."
Kurotan bared his teeth in a savage smile.
"The flow of mana becomes fiercer and faster the more you fight. It becomes easier to feel it then."
Unfortunately, Luke had to unsheathe his sword once more to duel Kurotan.
Chwang. Chwaaang.
The Kurotan who had awakened Aura had astonishing speed. In addition to his sharpened senses and reflexes, his strength and agility were now augmented by Aura. Luke ran out of breath soon after.
"Huk, Huuk."
Kurotan, on the other hand, had barely changed his pace of breathing. It was a scene completely different from the duels not very long ago.
"Damn… Looks like your stamina is also helped by Aura."
"Of course. I will not get tired so easily before my Aura runs out."
After fighting mindlessly for a while, the flow of mana throughout their bodies quickened. Luke began to sense things he had not been able to before when he tried to listen to Kurotan's advice.
"It's not perfectly clear, but I think I am feeling the flow of mana."
"More. Concentrate."
Kurotan bared his teeth in a smile once again.
"If we fight even more, you will be able to feel it more clearly."
"This god damned…"
Chwaaang. Chwang. Chwang.
Luke had no choice but to grit his teeth and jump at Kurotan.
"I'm going to die from the pain."
Luke massaged his aching sides and legs while looking very battered. They were places that he'd taken pretty heavy hits from Kurotan.
"You are too weak. That's nothing…"
"Look, I'm not an Orc. I'm not bad for a human, you know."
Unlike his snappy comebacks, Luke's expression was bright. He had succeeded in feeling the flow of mana by following Kurotan's advice.
"There were a total of three places where I felt that the flow of mana was unnatural."
"Is that so?"
"I think I have to fix the pathway in those places first."
Luke glanced at Kurotan with a bright expression.
"Will you help me?"
"Of course."
Luke's eyes shook a bit.
"Thanks, Kurotan."
Kurotan frowned.
"Do not thank me from now on."
"Why not?"
"Friends do not thank each other."
Kurotan looked at Luke straight on.
"You might be human, but I already consider you a member of my tribe. Tribal members do not need to thank each other."
"All right. I won't say thank you from now on."
"Not just me, but the tribal members who will be joining us from now on."
"All right."
Luke sat down in a meditative position on the ground and took out the last mana potion. He was planning on using it to make adjustments to the Esteban House's Aura cultivation method he had trained in.
Just yesterday, Luke would not have attempted such a thing no matter what. The Aura cultivation method of Esteban House was praised throughout the kingdom as being a stable and efficient Aura cultivation method.
However, Luke had seen Kurotan train in an 'unstable' Aura cultivation method, make multiple adjustments, and jump immediately to the level of an Aura Expert.
This was why he was attempting something he could not have even imagined yesterday.
Luke gulped down the mana potion and closed his eyes. Not long after, mana began to seep throughout his body.
Luke frowned at the painful throbs coming from the inside of his body.
'I can never get used to this pain. It's better than the first time, I guess…"
He had already located places in the pathway that felt like the flow was unnatural with Kurotan's help. Unlike Kurotan, Luke was drinking a mana potion in a state where his mana pathway was already complete. The mana from the mana potion immediately began circulating this pathway as soon as it was released.
'There are a total of three places where the mana flow is unnatural. I must fix them.'
Luke was aware of how to guide mana, courtesy of Kurotan. Luke smiled bitterly.
'I am probably the only human that's ever existed to try and adjust an Aura cultivation method using the ideas of an Orc.'
The adjustment of the Aura cultivation method went smoothly. Luke had successfully guided his mana through new paths that closed down the unnatural paths that his mana flowed through. Guiding mana was a lot easier than controlling Aura.
Luke opened his eyes and lifted his sweat covered face.
"I think it's done. I no longer feel any unnatural spots in my mana pathway."
"All right, now you must befriend your Aura. Don't try to control it, and try to approach it first."
"Just like you befriend mana. You must feel and become one with Aura."
Luke made multiple attempts, following the advice Kurotan had given him, but none were successful. It felt as though the Aura was angry for all the times that Luke had tried to suppress it.
However, the Aura was not reacting violently or fiercely towards Luke's advances as it had before.
"Don't be in a rush, this will take time."
"All right. I should be relaxed going about it."
Luke looked up to the sky.
"Too much time has passed. We should get moving."
Kurotan frowned.
"Kurotan hungry."
"All right. I'll prepare some food really quick."
Luke smiled bitterly and hurried about to cook.
The distance between Esteban Earldom and Lea Marquisate took about fifteen days to travel on horseback. Luke and Kurotan trained bitterly throughout the whole travel.
They would spar fiercely every night, foregoing sleep, and traveled the whole day to make up for the time lost in their training.
Kurotan's prowess increased daily. As he gradually cultivated his Aura, he was becoming closer and closer to the level of his past as an Orc Great Warrior.
Luke was also undergoing some changes. After he had adjusted the Aura cultivation method with Kurotan's help, Aura had begun to circulate his body for the first time.
Of course, he had not befriended Aura yet. However, due to fixing unnatural spots in the pathway that the Aura would flow through, the Aura would no longer stop and return during its circulation as it did in the past.
"Good. The Aura has flowed through the place I made the adjustment."
Luke examined the Aura that was coursing through his body anxiously, but the Aura safely circulated his body once. It was his first time succeeding in Aura rotation since he had awakened Aura.
Kurotan laughed and patted Luke on the shoulder.
"It will circulate continuously, now that you have succeeded. The amount of Aura will slowly increase."
Luke looked at Kurotan, his eyes shaking with emotion.
"It's all thanks to you."
"No. I was able to recover Aura thanks to you as well."
Their gazes met in the air, and Kurotan bared his teeth in a smile and lifted his axe.
"If we fight without worry, the Aura will circulate even faster throughout the body. Shall we dance?"
"Good. Let's fight."
The sound of weapons clashing echoed through the night, by the campfire.

1. How in the world does one get into this Spyware and Malware mess?
I assume that it was similar to circumstances that I faced several times as well. All malicious software gets into your computers because someone installed some "FREE" (but infected) software such as screensavers, toolbars, or Torrens. Secondly, one often thinks that the has "a good reputation." They also probably have some "optional" modules, which are NOT malicious software and appeared to be desirable and/or useful. Thirdly, one sometimes installs peer-to-peer software that is free, but is loaded with spyware and malware. Often, the product states "that is malicious free." However, that is frequently not the case. We have many more Virus Removal Help Articles Now Available.
2. Are you knowledgeable of the existence of such malicious software?
Perhaps not. Sometimes one is not aware of Spyware which can be a tiny suspicious package that was installed on a computer without permission. Even worse: this kind hidden software is difficult to detect. When one browses the Web, the spyware and malware software often records surfing habits, shopping choices made online, or even cooking and baking choices made online. This software runs constantly in the background monitoring and collecting data about your activities.
3. Why does your computer act funky?
It can be because spyware and malware not only monitor the user… It is often quite vicious. It can change computer settings. It makes the computer to run slowly, and/or interacts with the browser and can install other spyware.
4. So how can one protect a computer from vicious software?
First, you should frequently use antivirus applications and anti-spyware software. I set an automatic scan, at least once per week, although it is even better to run these scans every other day. You should also be careful when downloading FREE scanning software. Chances are good that it could even double the amount of vicious software instead of removing it. Lookout for "scareware." Scareware is malicious software that let's you believe that your computer is infected. The scareware is so vicious that is difficult to turn it off.

The Ideaphora Classroom Platform for educators and students combines sound educational practices with the latest technological advances to enrich online educational experiences and use concept mapping as a strategy to accelerate student learning.
Click here for more information about Ideaphora Classroom
Click here for our Teacher Resource Page
Ideaphora is a browser-based tool that doesn't require a plug-in or download and can be used on all computers, and tablets. It's available anytime, anywhere, and integrates with a wide range of digital learning material.
Maps are personalized based on the learners' personal view of a topic or assignment. Organizing information in a way that makes sense to them and creating a personalized view of the material enables learners to develop lasting learning connections.
Ease Of Use
Our technology identifies key concepts and images in online learning material for easy drag-and-drop placement into a concept map. This dramatically reduces the time it takes learners to fill in the "blank slate" and start constructing concept maps. Ideaphora enables students to focus solely on making connections and constructing knowledge through creative thought.
Concepts on the map are automatically linked to the source material, so users can go back and forth between their map key concepts and the content from which it was derived. This allows for an effective visual study and re-learning methodology.
Creative Connections
Finding the links between keywords and images is a process by which learners are making their own discovery and learning connections. Ideaphora allows a natural and fluid process to draw these conceptual connections.
Formative Assessment
Teachers are presented with an effective authentic assessment in a format that reinforces learning and recall. The assessments in our solution show a student's view of how concepts connect, which is dramatically closer to the core of understanding than multiple choice or essay tests. These assessments are more organic and take place in real time while the learner is constructing knowledge and does not distract from the learner's experience.
From the Classroom
"My students had so much fun learning with Make-a-Map. They also scored higher on their quizzes after the knowledge mapping exercise, as it encouraged them to think more deeply about the content."
—Lisa Parisi, 5th Grade Teacher Denton Avenue School, Long Island, NY

Ericsson in association with the Foundation for Innovation and Technology Transfer (FITT) has announced the winners for the 2nd edition of 'Ericsson Innovation Awards India' at the IIT Delhi.
The awards were presented to the winning teams by Paolo Colella, Head of Region India, Ericsson. The three winning teams will be supported by Ericsson India financially to the extent of INR 13 lacs each towards incubating the winning projects at any IIT approved technology business incubators.
Paolo Colella, Head of Region India, Ericsson said "Ericsson has at the forefront of innovation in its history of 140 years and by encouraging & inculcating the spirit of innovation amongst the student community of India , we wish to identify innovators of tomorrow and help them shape the solutions that will further define the networked society."
Ericsson Innovation Awards India were initiated in 2014 to promote the spirit of innovation within engineering students at select IITs. In its second year, the Awards have been rolled out to IITs across Delhi, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Mumbai, Roorkee, Guwahati, Bhubaneswar, Mandi, Hyderabad as well as IISc Bangalore, BITS Pilani, IIIT Gwalior, IIIT Delhi, Banaras Hindu University (BHU) in Varanasi.
The projects were submitted by students in areas such as web design, cloud computing, storage and networking, human-machine interface, embedded and hardware system design, MIMO (multiple-input, multiple-output), machine-to-machine/Internet of Things, software-defined networking, open source, signal processing, graphics and visualization, as well as research.
From the proposals received, seven were shortlisted in the month of February 2016 on criteria such as degree of innovation, feasibility, scalability and the overall impact on masses. Each shortlisted proposal was given an incentive by Ericsson to complete the initial prototype within two months. The winning projects were selected by the Jury in front of an audience comprising of students, Faculty, Innovators and industry leaders.

"What I've done here is take trailing 4-quarter sales for each product from the quarter it was launched as far as we have data and then superimpose those four data sets on each other so we can compare them," Dawson writes. "The scale is obviously not consistent between charts and that's important, but it's the pattern we're looking at here, not the absolute size:"
"What changed between those first two products and the last two? It might be partly a question of scale – the iPhone has found a much larger addressable market than the iPad and, as such, it took longer to reach a peak. Maybe, but the iPad found a larger addressable market than the iPod, peaking at around 75 million shipments a year versus the iPod's peak of around 55 million, so that can't be the whole answer," Dawson writes. "I'd argue that what really changed were the fact those first two products existed when the second two launched.
Much more in the full article – highly recommended – here.
MacDailyNews Take: We agree that Apple Watch certainly has not peaked. The first-gen was approaching 17 months old before the next-gen Apple Watch models were released (April 24, 2015 vs. September 16, 2016). That's a long time in tech years. The new Apple Watch Series 2 is a significant leap forward. There's much, much more to come with Apple Watch.
And, Apple Watch is here to stay, backed by the world's most valuable company and with OS releases that dramatically improve the value of the hardware over time. Those stuck on other platforms, as they stagnate, run out of money, and die, will be moving to the only smartwatch with a real future. As those who made the mistake of wasting their money on a Microsoft Band or a Pebble recently discovered.

Pandemonium broke out in some parts of Ogun state during the Local Government election which was underway on Saturday,as hoodlums reportedly stormed some polling units with guns and other dangerous weapons , snatched ballot boxes and burnt them. Though, most of the polling units were said to have been peaceful as security agents were seen at almost all the polling units and strategic places across the state.
However, some polling units such as Itoko, Ake, Lafenwa , Iperu , Imeko, Ilugun, Oke -Sopin, Agbole Oluwo, Oru, Awa all in the state recorded various forms of violence. Our correspondent gathered that, some political thugs stormed a polling booth at Isale-Itoko in Abeokuta South, snatched two ballot boxes and burnt them few metres away from the poling unit.

Today, CUPE Ontario marks this International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia by recognizing how much more we still have to do to create a province where all people are accepted for who they are, celebrated for their differences and able to face everyday free from hate, ignorance and discrimination.
Though we can be proud of all that we have accomplished, it is imperative that we acknowledge homophobia, transphobia, and biphobia are still experienced by most LGBTQ people on a regular basis.
We call on all of you to recommit to taking action within your workplaces and within your community to end discrimination against people based on their sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.
Over this past year CUPE Ontario was proud to stand with Black Lives Matter as they challenged growing complacency within our movement. It is critical that we recognize that gains we have made have not improved life for all LGBTQ people equally. Our work will not be done until all members of the LGBTQ community, regardless of race, ethnic background or religion are all able to live free from discrimination and hate.
From the beginning, CUPE has stood shoulder-to-shoulder with our allies beyond the labour movement to build better communities—communities built on a foundation of dignity and equality—and most importantly, working with others to help the voiceless find their own voices so they can make themselves heard.
We call on all our members across Ontario to embrace the struggle for equality and to take part in Pride events around the province. You will find a calendar of events running from now until the Fall at cupe.on.ca/pride

Today Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) issued the following statement on the passage of the FY 2013 Budget, championed by Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI). Diaz-Balart comments:
"I applaud Chairman Ryan for his leadership and for providing a budget with real and responsible solutions that tackle our debt crisis. House Republicans are advancing a budget that consists of real spending disciple and restored economic freedom, patient-centered health care reform, and pro-growth tax reform. This budget will steer us away from the current path of out-of-control spending and bankruptcy.
"The President's budget, on the other hand, ignores the biggest challenge facing our country by proposing the fourth trillion dollar deficit and the single largest tax increase in our history. Americans know it is irresponsible to spend money we do not have; it is unacceptable for President Obama to insist on more borrowing from other countries, including communist China.
"I am proud to have voted for legislation that builds up our great nation, making it stronger and more stable for current and future generations."

Regular price: $89.92
THINK Psychology covers the essentials every introductory psychology student should know. The chapters are briefer than a standard introductory text¿allowing for a lower cost to students and using less printed paper. Unlike other brief texts, THINK Psychology includes 18 chapters of content¿giving instructors the flexibility to choose what they want to cover without the worry that skipping several chapters will mean leaving out hundreds of pages of content.
THINK Psychology provides currency and relevance through design, current examples and high-interest readings. The readings have been chosen from a range of well respected journals and popular press publications. With the concise presentation of material in the chapters, instructors have the option of incorporating these readings and helping students connect to issues occurring outside of the classroom.
A magazine design developed with the benefit of extensive student feedback will engage students and deliver the key concepts of Psychology in a way they can understand.
The groundbreaking instructor supplements package will help bring the key concepts of Psychology to life, without burdening students with dense and too expensive learning solutions.
I have no background in psychology. The highest level of scientific study I've done was Grade 12 Chemistry, Biology and Maths B, and that was almost ten years ago.
Nevertheless I found this incredibly easy to understand. It was extremely interesting, and the narrator was very engaging.
I have some issues with production, often they would repeat 30 seconds or a minute of narration.
I understand the complaint someone made about this being superficial, but is only meant to be an introductory guide, and I think it sets out to do that very well. It has in fact whet my appetite for more, and I intend to do some more detailed study into some areas raised by the book.

I got it 2 weeks before an exam in Introduction to Psychology, and many of the things mentioned in the book were on the exam. It really helped me. Though I would recomment that one listens to it carefully, because it is a lot of information, and I had to listen to some chapters several times to memorize everything. The female voice was very pleasant too.

In Think Psychology 2010, Abigail Baird offers an enlightening introduction to human psychology. In 18 chapters, Baird introduces an overview of psychology beginning with research methods, middling through how the mind works, including psychopathology, and ending with psychological health.
In her book, Baird reveals histories of leaders in the profession; recounts some ground-breaking patient cases that reveal brain function and segmentation, explores brain abnormalities, and writes about revelatory psychiatric studies. In her journey through psychology's history, Baird explains patient' classifications, defines modern patient' diagnosis, and explores interpretations of sex, gender, cognition, conscious, subconscious, and unconscious. In exploring how the mind works, Baird addresses learning, memory, and sleep. Baird touches on the legal profession's use of psychology to defend clients, issues of social psychology, and questions about nurture versus nature. As an introduction to psychology, there could be no better review.
If a student is contemplating entering the field of psychology, Professor Baird's Think Psychology 2010 is a must-read or listen experience.

This text lays a good beginning foundation for basic knowledge in psychology. I would not recommend it for anyone but the earliest beginner in the quest for learning in the realm of psychology, but it hits the mark it aims at.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I was captivated by the information and presentation in this book. There was so much useful information on almost everything to do with the mind. I gave me an overview and now I can choose which areas I would like to study more. However I am not a student of Psychology, I just love literature on it.
I recommend this to anyone that is even slightly interested in the way the mind works, how the human race developed with explorations of the mind or just to improve life by understanding our race.
The presenter was also fantastic. I will be looking for more of her readings.

What did you like best about THINK Psychology, 1/e? What did you like least?
The text was clear and simple, but it was very superficial, obvious and boring. It focuses in many basic ideas and descriptions. It's very elementar.

What was one of the most memorable moments of THINK Psychology, 1/e?
My memorable moments from these audios are all the different ways of looking at the way we view the world.
Any additional comments?
Besides the boring life less voice reading these audios.
The problem with these audios is that they take up A LOT OF ROOM. What i mean by that is their sent to your library INDIVIDUALLY. I REALLY WISH it was a way to send it in a single audio, just like every other audio on audible. Until they fix this problem I won't buy any more collections. I already have a lot of audios, and with this making it look like i have even more, it tents to make my scrolling longer and freeze for a bit.

We had a busy weekend around here, but when I try to recall what I did exactly, it's all kinda fuzzy. I take it that's because I was so busy I simply can't remember everything I did, but I know it's also because I'm so sleepy this morning I can't remember much of anything.
At least it's sunny and nice here, for which I'm extremely grateful. If it were cloudy and, God forbid, cold out, I would probably be passed out asleep in the supply closet by now.
Someone called the office right after I got here, and I almost lost my voice mid-conversation. I held the phone away from me as far as I could and cleared my throat (classy, I know), but I was tempted to tell the person, "I'm sorry, but could you call back in the afternoon when I'm awake and don't sound like a beast? Unless you're a morning person, in which case I don't like you and your kind, and don't call back at all. Ever." I didn't of course.
Ah, Monday morning.

Sorry, no definitions found. Check out and contribute to the discussion of this word!
Sorry, no etymologies found.
Sorry, no example sentences found.
In attempting to dissect "stompclacker" (Using thick gloves and very long tools. He's a wily one, that bilby.) I came across the following document which purports to be a glossary of informal medical terms current in Yorkshire. It's good for some chuckles.
Crack a tube of stompclacker.
See examples at whupass.
I think our resident marsupial misconstrues the meaning of "whoop" in the countrified American expression "open a can of whupass.". It is not a celebratory cry but rather means a whipping or beating. So, one trash-talking basketball player might say to his adversary, "I'm gonna whup your ass!" To open a can of whupass is to invite calamity. It is a more local and limited version of opening Pandora's box.
I find the key syllables spelled as an unhyphenated "whoopass," hyphenated as "whoop-ass," and as two words - "whoop ass." The first syllable may be whoop, woop, wup, or whup. The most common version I find is "whupass."
A more exact British version might be, "open a tin of thrashbottom." The trouble with this formulation, however, is that the threat may not be received as entirely unwelcome. We colonials hear stories of the widespread plying of the cane on tender young bottoms in the "public" schools and of a fondness for such "correction" that persists into adulthood. Would an English cricketer intimidate his opponent by pledging to thrash his bottom or would he make a new friend?
Perhaps bilby could lay a long ear to the ground and provide us with an Australian equivalent.
British equivalent of a can of whoopass.

How to bathe wavy parrots
A wavy parrot has appeared in your house. And now periodically it needs to be bathed in order to follow the feather cover of the pet.
Simple tips will help you easily accustom the parrot to bathing.
- 1
Wavy parrots are by nature veryClean. For this you can buy a bath in the pet store. Since most parrots love to swim in a cage, it can be hung on the door. Make sure that the water is always at room temperature and always clean. Immediately after the pet is bathed, remove the bathing from the cage so that he does not drink dirty water. Once a week will be enough. But if it is very hot, you can hang a bath and more often.
If a parrot does not show interest inBathing, you can put in this capacity his favorite toy - a mirror, a ball or a favorite treat. Or you can try first to pour a little food into the swimsuit, and when the parrot becomes accustomed to climb there, pour some water.
- 2
In addition to the bath you can use a pallet. Ordinary cat tray for example. That's where the real space for a parrot. He can spread the wings and tail, as well as dive under the water. Some wavy parrots are very fond of being close to their owners. To do this, just stay near it. If the parrot ignores this method, do not be discouraged.
- 3
You can use an alternative method -Bathing in a wet salad. After all, in the natural nature parrots swim just in the grass, when there is morning dew. This will be a great entertainment for your wavy pet. And if you have a hand parrot you can bathe it in running water. But it is necessary to monitor the flow and temperature of the water.

What the people at Homeland Security read
From Nicole Perlroth's report in the New York Times:
Homeland Security seems to have a real affinity for Twitter. It advises its employees to follow not only Twitter itself but also Twitter search sites like Monitter, Tweetzi and Tweefind and more than 10 Twitter trend sites like TweetStats and Trendistic.
It monitors Facebook and, while it also recommends monitoring MySpace, it notes the once-popular social network has "limited search" capabilities. Homeland Security employees also monitor video sites like YouTube, Vimeo and Hulu — "situational awareness" apparently entails full episodes of "The Bachelor."

One of the nicest things about having all the different neighborhoods in the City of St. Louis is that it gives us a framework around which to build community. We can work on our own neighborhood projects or we can partner with other neighborhoods on larger efforts. Most city neighborhoods have long established and very powerful community organizations.
Through these groups we have a way to meet our neighbors and address local or city-wide concerns. The organizations help build the foundation for our long range community efforts.
Across the oceans, in the Australian state of Victoria, there is a major effort underway to strengthen the region's cities through planned community building activities. Through this gateway you can get lots of interesting ideas for projects and activities from our neighbors on the other side of the world.

All degree requirements must be completed within seven years of the date of matriculation.

All entering Doctor of Musical Arts students are required to take proficiency examinations in the areas of music theory and musicology. These examinations are administered online before the start of classes. Incoming students are notified of the exam dates and contents in advance and are responsible for taking them by the specified deadline. Exam results are used for purposes of advisement and may establish prerequisite or required coursework. Material covered in these examinations is commonly presented in most undergraduate degree programs in music.
Students with insufficient background may be required to take review courses as appropriate.
Language Requirement
Reading proficiency is required in one language, chosen from German, French, and Italian. Students may demonstrate proficiency in a foreign language by passing its corresponding reading course at the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences: GRS LG 621, GRS LF 621, or GRS LI 621. Students may also satisfy the requirement by passing a foreign language examination, administered once each semester by the School of Music.

The student has three opportunities to pass written examinations in each of the three areas. Once a student has passed an individual area exam, he or she need not repeat it even if required to retake another area exam. The student proceeds to the oral examination only after passing all written examinations. Requirements vary by concentration. There are also three opportunities to pass the oral examination.

Terminal Project: Independent Research/Dissertation and Lecture-Recital
The student must write a substantial document demonstrating the ability to conduct independent research. This document should stress source materials, comparative editions, score analysis, and performance practice. The student must give a lecture-recital based on this document and use the medium of performance to illustrate it. The lecture-recital must be supervised and approved by assigned faculty readers. A copy of the lecture must be included as an appendix in the final copies of the document. Conducting students are not required to give a lecture-recital.

No specific number of performances is required, but it is recommended that there be no fewer than three different programs that meet conditions outlined in the School of Music Graduate Handbook.
Supporting Written Material
Depending on the nature of the project agreed upon by the student, the advisor, and the conducting faculty, the written material can take a variety of forms, for example: documented and originally composed program notes; translations and phonetic guides to pronunciation (in the case of choral music); or analysis of the works conducted.
Pre-Concert Lectures
The student may present a series of pre-concert lectures, which may or may not be associated with the above concerts. The lectures should be original to the conductor and fully documented.
Terminal Project Options
The conducting student, in consultation with the conducting faculty, may elect to combine performance and scholarship in a variety of ways. Details are provided in the School of Music Graduate Handbook.

Exercise and needed reminders
I have just finished exercising with Leslie Sansone. It was quite a bit of a fun workout. I am starting to like exercise more and more. With a changing mindset about exercise, it is no longer a chore. It is quite a bit interesting now. I would like to make exercise a habit. It has been said that it may take weeks for a habit to start forming. I look forward to that. Right now, I plan to exercise a minimum of 10-15 minutes per day as I am physically able. I use exercise videos so far and I also have to prepare myself for the fact that losing weight takes work on my part. It is work, but it is well worth it. I have to remind myself that even though I have a weight issue, I also have a hormonal issue. I am also a diabetic who has to work extra hard to make sure my blood sugar stays normal, not too low, and not too high. It is those daily reminders that keep me in check. They are definitely needed.

The Doctors: 30-Pound Burrito Eating Challenge
The Doctors shared news of a brand new restaurant in Brooklyn that is making news for an eating challenge that is offering the winner 10% ownership of the restaurant. Don Chingon is the restaurant, and the challenge requires a $150 entrance free, and then you have one hour to eat a 30-pound burrito made with steak, chicken, pork, rice beans, and salsa. You also have to drink a ghost-pepper margarita along with it.
The restaurant already made it clear they will accept no responsibility for death or illness! You're disqualified from the contest if you throw up or go to the bathroom. It's an incredible dense burrito too! They challenged Dr Andrew Ordon to eat just 1/12 of the burrito and he struggled with that! Dr Rachael Ross explained that the average person can eat about a liter of food before they start to feel full. Dr Ordon did say that it was pretty tasty, but there's no possible way you could eat 30 pounds of food in just one hour.
They liked the super spicy margarita though!
The Doctors: Fired For Farting?
While gas could be a possible side effect of eating that much food, The Doctors explained that flatulence was actually at the center of a lawsuit. A 70-year-old man's wife filed a lawsuit saying her husband was unfairly terminated from his job at a New Jersey pork roll factory last year. He was fired for "excessive flatulence" and his wife is claiming that the firing was a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act because her husband is obese and received gastric bypass in 2010, causing the "smelly output."
Dr Rachael Ross suggested that if you're having that big of a problem with gas, get a note from your doctor so you can prove it's related to a medical problem. Dr Ordon actually worked with a man who suffered from terminal flatulence, and those with gastric bypass are prone to excessive flatulence. Dr Travis Stork explained that the man allegedly just shared an office with his wife and they would light candles and open windows.
Do you think the company was justified in firing the man?
The Doctors: "Mommie Dearest" Child Abuse
The Doctors then moved on to report that a 28-year-old Nebraska woman and her boyfriend were recently arrested and charged with child abuse, after the woman allowed her boyfriend to duct tape her 4- and 7-year-old sons to a chair. He allegedly did it while she was out of the home. He then made them watch the 1981 movie Mommie Dearest, claiming they were sick of hearing the boys call their mom "the meaniest mommy" which her own mom forced her to watch.
The woman explained that she chose that movie because it was "Hollywood's perfect representation of a mean mother." Dr Ashton said someone should tape her up and make her watch the movie. It's child abuse, plain and simple. Duct tape on the skin is painful, not to mention that a movie like that is not okay for children that young to watch. The couple was also allegedly withholding food from the children.
The woman was charged with child endangerment and deprivation of food, while the boyfriend was charged with child abuse and false imprisonment.

Which week are you on
in your monthy cycle?
Find out what it reveals about
what your day has in store:
Week 1
First day of period to Day 7
Today's hormonescope: Keep your eye on the clock around 8 a.m. today and every day of Week 1 and Week 2. Research shows that you'll feel like you have more time than you really do during this phase of the day, which can end up making you late to work, school or important events. Blame goes to hormones, which make your body clock run slower at certain times of your cycle.
Week 2
Day 8 to Day 13
Today's hormonescope: Today you may be dreaming big as high estrogen and testosterone amp up your ambition and optimism. As a result, you may be imagining the novel you could write, the business you could launch or the hottie you could land. Take advantage of today's high hormonal confidence and energy to take the first steps toward reaching your goals so you can turn your dreams into a reality!
Week 3
Day 14 (or ovulation) to Day 22
Today's hormonescope: Last week, high testosterone had you more comfortable leading the pack. This week, lower levels of testosterone plus rising progesterone make you more comfortable being a team player. Others will appreciate your willingness to hear their opinions and share the credit for a job well done.
Week 4
Day 23 to the end of cycle
Today's hormonescope: As estrogen and testosterone plunge this week, it's like someone takes off your protective shell, making you more emotionally and physically sensitive to your environment. For instance, you may feel a tad maudlin if it rains, on edge if it's noisy or chilled to the bone if the temperature dips.

- n. Plural form of monomer.
Sorry, no etymologies found.
For instance, unstable protein monomers specified by the mutated gene might form self-stabilizing oligomers (31), or the transforming protein might generate changes that tend to favour the transformed state.
If the monomers are amino acids, interaction with water is important.
Professor, Department of Chemistry, Carnegie Mellon University Dr. Matyjaszewski developed atom transfer radical polymerization, or ATRP, a way of combining small molecules called monomers into blocks of polymers, which are plastics made up of long molecules.
For instance, the size of the polymer in a solution increases by a certain power of the number of monomers, which is mathematically analogous to the behavior near
The team linked melittin with small molecules called monomers, solidifying the two into a network of long polymer chains.
The researchers were able to use this catalyst to initiate a variety of chemical reactions, including polymerizations (formation of polymer chains from small molecular building blocks called monomers).
As the Ni/MH battery voltage of only a single lithium-ion battery monomer 1/3, therefore, for the same request to a computer batteries, the use of Ni/MH battery system, called monomers is much larger.
- synuclein molecules (called monomers) and the formation of early oligomers during the aggregation process.
But then there is competition between prelife and life for the basic feedstock of monomers.
Polymers of basic molecules may have flexible bonds, which allows a chain of monomers to assume a shape that is determined by interactions between monomers.

Dish Network may dump TNT and TBS, too, after CNN, TruTV and Adult Swim
The ugly battle between Dish Network and Turner Broadcasting rages on and could get even worse. If the two sides can't resolve their differences, TNT and TBS could be off the air for 14 million Dish households nationwide or one-eighth of its potential audience.
For a month, Dish has cut off several Turner-based networks because of a dispute over costs and digital access. Channels affected include Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, TruTV, Turner Classic Movies, HLN and CNN.
The TNT and TBS deal, separate from the others, expires Dec. 5. The two networks are by far Turner's most popular ones, typically finishing in the top 10 among all cable networks in audience. If they are blacked out for any length of time, this could hurt both sides. (Good news udpate: On Friday, the two sides agreed to extend their existing contracts several months in hopes of hammering out a deal later. They also agreed to return eight Turner networks back onto Dish while keeping TBS and TNT on.)
Turner is claiming befuddlement that Dish is being so obstinate because it says its offers to them are comparable to those with other providers. Through its www.savemyshows.com site, it's encouraging people to either complain to Dish or switch providers. Here is Turner's latest statement:
Our efforts in recent weeks to restore the Turner networks to Dish customers have been rejected at every turn by Dish leadership. The upcoming expiration on December 5 of our carriage agreement for TNT and TBS means Dish may drop those networks as well. We remain hopeful that we will reach an agreement that restores our networks to the air and eliminates the risk of Dish removing additional Turner networks from its channel lineup.
Dish TV has not released any fresh statements since Turner's salvo.
Given that TNT and TBS air plenty of popular shows, the backlash could be potentially greater than with those other networks. TBS has on its upcoming schedule fresh episodes of "American Dad," Conan O'Brien's late show, "Cougar Town" and repeats galore of "The Big Bang Theory." TNT has NBA games, "Rizzoli & Isles," "Major Crimes" and "Cold Justice," to name a few.
Chairman Charlie Ergen of Dish has positioned his service as lowest-priced option among cable/satellite providers and part of his strategy is holding the line on carriage costs with networks. With more people unwilling to pay for cable or satellite bills, this makes sense. In a recent earnings call, where he mocked CNN and its relative loss in relevance, he acknowledged that TNT and TBS could go away as well:
"If you're Turner and if we're not going to carry CNN or Cartoon Network, then I'm not really excited when your contract's up to carry TNT and TBS," Ergen said. "So we have to be prepared that those channels will come down as well." He said he anticipated the loss of those two channels "will be more painful," calling the loss of the other networks "a non-event at this point."
So who has more leverage at this point?
Ergen may be in a tougher spot with CBS, which could go dark on Dish as early as tomorrow. CBS has far more popular shows than any of the Turner networks.

I'm dumping dish, I for one like CNN, and Turner Classic Movies, without them , it has become just an info-mercial port...
I honestly don't care about Turner and don't care if they come back. Turner is holding out for more money, they have enough money. All one has to do is drive through ATL to see all their buildings and what shows they have. I don't watch their shows or their news. So go ahead Turner play the big bully and drop DISH. Your nothing but a bunch of no good for nothings to begin with, always pushing your weight around.
I'm on the edge of dumping Dish. Ergen needs to get a clue - without Cartoon Network it is already a rip-off no matter how low the price goes.
i'll be dumping dish-
Why anyone would actually use Dish Network is beyond me in the first place.
Maybe you guys who are jumping on me should take a course in reading comprehension. BocaBaby did not say in his first post that he was in ATL. That was a general statement that Braves games were blacked out on the weekends. If he had said that, I would not have retorted. Makes a huge difference. That's the price you pay for living in the ATL area. Too bad! Can't blame them for that. Braves' owners probably are behind that anyway as they want fans in ATL to attend the games, not watch on TV. A little common sense and logic goes a long way. Use some before you "jump the shark" !
I already hated DISH, but they're the only option in my condo. I've already been struggling to deal with them dropping Adult Swim and CNN. The only reason I've been hanging on is for sports, but I already can't see weekend Braves' games thanks to DISH. If they drop TBS and TNT, that will be the final straw for me. I'll cut the cord. I should do more reading anyway.
I've been a DISH customer for way too long now. Every couple of years we have played a game of "swap the receiver to find a working one" (they ship us a replacement, we install and troubleshoot it ourselves, send the old one back, repeat as required) and the last time around (after two rounds of this with DISH) I bought a cheapo indoor antenna and discovered that we could easily get well over 20 channels, with the prospect of over 60 with an outdoor version (see: http://www.antennaweb.org/Address.aspx). Between the better off-air quality and Internet streaming, very most likely we'll be happily dumping DISH by the end of the year. Almost forgot – DISH customer no-service was willing to "give" us a whopping $5 discount for the next six months (that's total, not per month) for our trouble. That combined with generally lousy service (our second TV has NEVER had a decent picture, half of the channels we get being commercials, plus numerous other issues over the years), we have had enough.
To drop the NBA is no big deal. Poor ratings and attendance at games has been below par for years.
I worked for Charlie Ergen 25 years ago. I was an employee with Echosphere in Denver where we sold satellite programming to those that has those large dishes in their back yards and a videocipher. The company was Satellite Source/Programming Plus. Charlie walked round the office with dreams of putting his own satellites in space and everyone having a small dish in their yards to watch his programs. His dream came true and he is a wonderful businessman who has made millions with his dream. More power to him!
This potential move will be bad for sports fans who like watching NBA games on TNT and NCAA tournament games on TBS !!!
Sports fans want their basketball games Dish Network.
I'm paying $65.00 for 200 Dish Channels=
200 Channels / $65.00 per month = $3.077 per channel= $92.31 per month without DVR.
NBA league Pass total price for a season is $199.00 for 29 national televised games per 82 games season, not including Hawks due to blackout restriction = $199.00 / 4 monthly payments = $49.75.
$199.00/ 82 games per season = $2.47 per game.
I rather watch regular TV per view at a lower cost than to pay premium price for reruns, politics, and a bunch of bull crap for $100.00+ per month.
If I can get a Sports Package with locals stations for pennies on a dollar, I'm good and satisfied.
Good for Dish . Turner hasn't increased its viewership . If it thinks it somehow deserves more money it could try increasing its advertising prices . For whatever reason over the last decade programmers think they should just be given more money for no reason . I will get rid of paid TV before I support this corporate welfare programmers seem to think they are entitled to .
We've been Dish customers for nearly 13 years now and couldn't be happier with their service. They FIGHT like heck to keep prices low, and when a channel or network plays hardball, Dish just drops them until they come to their senses and hold the line on their price, too. And we often get new channels out of nowhere -- we bring up the programming grid and POOF, there are two new channels in the mix we knew nothing about -- and our bill doesn't go up.
We've got every basic channel Dish offers and every English-language movie channel as well, and our bill is only around $100 a month. We almost never go out to see a movie because within a year or so, one of our Dish channels is going to show that movie -- so why go out when I can watch it in my boxer shorts?
Tech and billing support is a dream, too. No matter what time we've called, we always get American-based customer support within a minute or two, and the Dish techs can usually help you fix the problem over the phone. I think we've had to have techs come to our home twice in the 13 years we've been customers. We never have to worry about getting some kid in Mumbai reading us the solution out of a three-ring binder -- we get an AMERICAN tech geek who knows the answer already.
I love that Charlie Ergen plays hardball with the cable networks. If they're not going to improve their programming, then why should Dish customers pay more for those channels? Skroo 'em.
No, neither I nor my wife work for Dish. We're just VERY happy long-term customers who feel that Dish has EARNED our loyalty. It's a rare thing in business today, but there you are.
Its now time to introduce to the American public the TV programming called "Pay per Channel" package. If the FCC, would get off of their sorry a$$ and allow national cable or TV premium viewing competition at today's inflation rates base on per view channel, we'll have happy customers if rates are reasonable.
I only watch the NBA and Football on my TV. I do not need 200 more channels that I do not watched per day at all. My contract expired with Dish a year ago and we work out a deal that give me 200 channels, a sport package , and a DVR for $65.00 per month.
Now if TNT are removed and costing me NBA games to lose, Dish would have to lower my total bill to $45.00 per month and if not, I'm done with them.
I would hate to go with Comcast or Direct for TV viewing.
My wife and her son is the only reason I have premium TV, otherwise, I would have cut the cable long time ago.
Dish, don't mess with my NBA!!! You can have everything else. not my NBA and NFL!!!!
Apple TV is the way to go. ESPN APP, Hulu, Netflix, it has it all.
Losing NBA games, boy, that should have DISH quacking in their boots!
I switched to Direct after DISH failed to cover the BRAVES for the second season. Dish refused to cave.
Choosing to be the cheapest outlet may work for them, but not for all of their viewers.
just a phony threat to get lower rates---happens all the time---they will settle and pass on the higher prices to chumps who buy their stuff
I have Dish and I am glad they are standing up to these greedy networks. If I had decent internet, I would cut the cord but I am stuck with Windstream AKA Windtrickle
Hope DISH goes belly up. Satellite companions are a bunch of crooks when it comes to their contracts.
It's just tv......
I think with the internet, TV is just not important anymore. I am thinking of just using Roku and forget about it.
I'm on Dish and really wouldn't care if both TBS and TNT go away. Have not even missed CNN and HLN or the others so far. If Dish is doing this for the reason I think, to keep rates from increasing, and I think they are, then I hope Dish stands firm. Let them all go away for good. It's just a form of extortion on the networks part. Another word for it: GREED.
My parents have dish at a farm in rural South Carolina. My impression of their service is that they have a bunch of home shopping type channels and not much else. They really need to up their quantity of good programming.
Spent 12 years as a DirecTV sub and moved to Dish 20 months ago, and I wish I'd changed sooner. The service is much better, the DVR is amazing, costs less, etc. But I'm still leaving Dish when my contract is up 4 months. Going to cut the cord and save money. Just don't need TV in my life any more. Literally, my big TV is now my computer monitor and wow is it great for that. My actual TV watching is reduced to an old 19" with a Roku glued to the back.
Anyway, even if I was staying, I could not care less about these dropped channels. Dish alone fights to keep costs down and should be commended for it. Outfits like Turner, Discovery Networks, Viacom, Disney cram these huge channel packages onto viewers who don't want them and have no choice but to pay it anyway. This model of TV has got to end, or else viewers like me are going to realize they don't need cable or satellite at all. And leave. And then who will these big channels have to watch their stuff? Well not as many people, that's for sure.
Thank you BocaBaby, you covered every bit of ground that I would have liked to --- well said.
Here's the deal. Dish does not carry most of the weekend Braves games. Every other cable and satellite carrier does. They have already dumped CNN and Turner Classic Movies. Now they are talking dumping TNT and TBS? Time to think about dumping Dish. I dread going to Direct TV because of its impending relationship with AT&T which I hate with a passion. But you've got to draw a line in the sand somewhere. Hey Dish, price means nothing without programming.
Once we've completed our "bundle" agreement we're gone. It's called keeping your word, something Dish doesn't know anything about. It seems to me they gave us their word we would get certain channels if we agreed to certain packages but Dish feels they can just change channels around anytime they want.
@Quackmeyer The NBA is now the NTL (National Thug League) and the NFL is getting there too.
@SportsTopFan I love the NBA but it comes down to price in the end .
@mrob @$65/month for 200 channels you are actually paying $0.325 per channel. What you calculated in your first equation is channels per dollar.
all good points, but i still want to watch what i want- let me have the channels i want-
@RafeHollister Quacking.
Go back to singing, Rafe.
@JimPeterso As soon as you can add Dish internet, it's via satellite and requires a separate small dish. You can bundle it with your TV, as I did, and save some money. Works great for me and is fast. I noticed I do not use my GBs nearly as fast as I did on Verizon. Got 5GB for the month plus another 5 in the middle of the night as a bonus. I exceeded my limit on VZW almost every other month but never have on Dish in a year. NO Nshields I do not work for DishTV. Just like their service and package. Both of mine together is under $100 a month.
@JimPeterso I agree with you 100%. And we are also stuck with Windstream for internet and have issue after issue. One of the Windstream repairmen said a couple of years ago that Windstream was only putting bandaid fixes on their repair jobs because Windstream didn't want to pay out any money on long term fixes because they anticipate everyone going to satellite for everything soon. Windstream is the worst internet provider out there.
@Brett Reefer True. Content is what matters. TV is just a vehicle to content.
@Tcope You are so wrong. There are many different packages available and I have everything I want on the 200 channel package and it's less than DirecTV. Your parents must have the cheapest, basic plan. Even have my internet thru DishTV and get a bundle discount. It's fast and works great with no problems.
@BocaBaby And by the way FarTrain, no Braves games on the weekends in the Atlanta area is not about the Braves blacking it out to get more people to the stadium. This dispute goes back to when SportsSouth bought the yearly schedule of games that Peachtree TV had. Apparently Sportsouth wants Dish to pay for those games, separately, and in addition to what they are already paying for the Sportsouth games they televise. Dish feels like they had made payment to Peachtree TV for the games and any sale from one network to another should carry the deal they made with the previous owner -- at least that was my take on the dispute. I thought this problem would be resolved after the first transition year, if the payments for coverage are made yearly, but it appears that this is going to be a continuing problem between Dish and Sportsouth, and that no amount of complaining is going to do anything about it, With all the other issues mounting up for the carrier, it seems like this Braves issue is being lost, and has been forgotten about by Dish. I guess they feel like we're used to it, so there's no need for them to pay for the extra games. BS is what I call it. I know lots of people have been and are continuing to be angry. I've threatened them many times, to which they always want to offer some kind of band aid offer, but now, I think a serious wave of dissatisfaction is headed Dish's way, and there will be a lot of cancellations. For selfish reasons, I don't want to cancel Dish, but basically everything that I want to watch is slowly being taken away. I'm glad for some that their $100 per month brings them programming that makes them so happy. To my way of thinking, it's mostly modern day garbage. TCM is one of the true bright spots in television programming, and along with not being able to follow my local baseball team (bad as that can be) on weekends, it's all beginning to seem like a big waste of money. Now you're telling me that two hours of "Seinfeld" every night is going away with the departure of TBS? That's just too much!!!!
@BocaBaby That's strange, I am on DishTV and got every single one of the Braves games last year, including weekend games. Shouldn't put statements out there that are not true. Maybe it's the package you signed up for.

After long hours of manning MAFC's booth (9 am till 6 pm) during GABEM's exhibition on Saturday, 19 July 2008 and receiving the visit of our Deputy Prime Minister, Tan Sri Rahim Tamby Chik and other delegates, I had to rush home soon after, showered, solat and headed for Putrajaya Lake Club with Qayyum to fulfill yet another obligation – the wedding reception of Encik Mohd Pahmi's daughter held at Putrajaya Lake Club. Encik Mohd Pahmi is the Senior Vice President of Infrastructure Development, MAFC.
Qayyum managed to secure a quick not-so-focused shot of my exhausted looking smile drawn across my "no-mood" tired face ……. I needed my bed so bad mamma mia pleeaassee!!!

I'm one of those people who believes that things in life happen in the correct sequence. Whether we label them good or bad, fortunate or unfortunate, they happen in the sequence which will be most beneficial for the inner person. I don't know if that sounds fatalistic. I don't think of myself that way. I'm upbeat and optimistic. I believe we have to work our butts off to achieve what we want and although what we get may not be what we envisioned, it will be what is most beneficial for us.
I was reminded of this again recently when a friend with the right connections agreed to put a copy of "What Rough Beast" into the hands of the book reviewer for a major newspaper. And I mean a major newspaper, as in a circulation of a million or so and possibly a nationally syndicated circulation of several times that. Do you have any idea what impact a favorable review from such a person would mean? In short, a favorable review would mean, WOW! And that's putting it mildly.
My friend was careful to remind me that there are no guarantees. I know that. First, there's no guarantee that the book reviewer will actually read the book. Book reviewers, especially those who work for major publications, are inundated with requests to be reviewed. They have to set priorities and decide what they will read and when. She may or may not decide to read "What Rough Beast". Second, there's no guarantee that, if the reviewer reads the book, she will like it and publish a favorable review.
You know what? I'm not worried about either of those two things. I'm not worried that the reviewer might not read it, and I'm not worried that she might not like it. I am thrilled to death that a friend is going to bat for me. That's a very special feeling.
I may have shared this next bit before. If I did, I'll repeat it. Repetition is one of the privileges of age. I wrote "What Rough Beast" twenty years ago. Yep. Twenty years ago. It was the first of four novels I wrote between 1989 and 1993. A number of people read "What Rough Beast" and liked it. I sent it out to publishers but it didn't get any traction, as they say. After awhile, I put it down. The mid 90s was a time of spiritual, emotional and financial turmoil in my life, and I stopped serious writing. The stories didn't stop telling themselves to me, I just stopped trying to write them down. But the urge to write, the urge to tell stories, is something that can grip you relentlessly, and three years ago I started writing again.
This sequence of events spanning twenty plus years is not what I would have chosen, but it is what it is, and I believe it will turn out to be the most beneficial one for me as a person. And that's a really good feeling.

Facing an inconvenient tooth
Local dentist Benjamin Lee says that many people in Hong Kong care for their teeth well enough, but are nonetheless scared to visit the dentist.
Lee has seen patients who suffer from so-called dental phobia, which can cause serious dental and other health problems.
Most people 'are quite dentally aware, but it's often their own phobia that limits them from receiving the proper treatment they know they need [and want]', he says.
Dental phobia is prevalent in the US, and people are looking for ways to overcome it, Lee says. Hypnosis and psychotherapy have failed.
'I saw a 30-year-old patient taller than the tree in my garden, yet frightened as a mouse in my chair. Another had left his teeth to rot since childhood before finally making the decision to get them seen to. It wasn't a pretty sight, but now they're fixed.'

"What A Parent's Guide to Raising Successful Missionaries reconfirmed for me was how scouting offers a great opportunity for boys to prepare physically, mentally and morally to serve a mission."
Tag Archives: eagle scout
An honest perspective about becoming an Eagle Scout
In a few weeks, my two boys will be having their Eagle Court of Honor. As I've been scanning the web looking through lots of ideas for how to run one, I came across this letter from Mike Rowe that I read for the first time. It kinda surprised me that I hadn't heard about this letter until now. Maybe that's because it was written in 2008, a bit before I became a Scoutmaster. Either way, it's a great message and one that still rings true today! Have a look in case you're new or haven't seen it yet either. … Continue reading
