Engraved Darkness - Diabolical Scriptures
Released: 2015
Label: Independent
From: Dayton, OH
Style: blackened death metal
Well what a coincidence another band from Dayton, OH! It actually is coincidence, I didn't realize they were from the same town as Close The Hatch. Engraved Darkness may be from the Buckeye State but they may as well be from the bitter cold north of Scandinavia because that is where you'd guess they hail from. Unlike many death metal bands that tap deep into the well of Entombed (let's be honest, it's hard not to) there is much more going on in this most diabolical debut. The album being called Diabolical Scriptures immediately had my attention when we received this one into The Scribbler Mansion but an intriguing title will only get you to the play button a little quicker but little more unless the music keeps my attention. Engraved Darkness did in spades! It's hard not to like song titles like Darkened Grave or The Purity of Evil but if it had been crap you wouldn't see it here. No, Engraved Darkness play solid as fuck death metal blackened up just enough to make it sound as evil as it is heavy. There was nothing that knocked my socks completely off but there aren't any stinkers on here either. I don't need everything to blow my doors off but don't get me wrong, this is an excellent album that definitely does not sound like a band's debut. The playing is tighter than a frog's derriere and the death growls are actually understandable, a quality I appreciate. Sure you can hear flashes of Entombed or Grave but unlike so many others Engraved Darkness aren't blatantly ripping off those classic bands then there are also bits of some of my personal death metal favs Vital Remains or even a dash of Obituary at times. In other words, Engraved Darkness are a blackened death metal product of 20+ years of black and death metal to pull from. Diabolical Scriptures is a fantastic first album so I hope they stick around making some more kickass death metal! Read the Diabolical Scriptures (ok, listen) and Hail Satan!
Rotting Repugnancy - Harbingers of the Last Judgement
Releases: March 25th 2016
Label: CDN Records / Locust Amber (vinyl)
From: Midlands, UK
Style: death metal
Ever put your head in a vice tightening it down until your skull actually flexes under the pressure and your eyes begin to bulge out? Now tighten the vice one more turn and that will give you some idea of what the UK's Rotting Repugnancy have to offer you. Rotting Repugnancy are no filler, all killer death metal. Harbingers' chugs along from track to track on an endless march to your destruction. Sure there's blood and gore splattering the walls but if you step carefully you won't get too much on you just keep an eye peeled for flying debris (that debris being flying innards and such). Death metal songs should be like horror short films or short stories and Rotting Repugnancy fucking nail that feeling here. Want long guitar solos with more wankery than a Monty Python skit? Well look elsewhere, this is a brutal onslaught for your eardrums without falling into the incoherent area of so called "brutal death metal." Rotting Repugnancy are more like Obituary meets Grave and if you can imagine a world where that wouldn't be a good thing then I don't think we live on the same planet. There isn't a bad track on Harbingers of the Last Judgement but I'd have to say And The Day Shall Dawn With Fire stood out to me though take your pick from eight brutally awesome tracks that may have you crying, UNCLE! before it's all said and done. This is brutal gore drenched death metal done right!

While She Sleeps went from a band to watch to a band you had to choose to ignore. Their music is explosive, melodic, and refreshing.
They were in my peripheral vision for a while, but when they dropped their monstrous single "Hurricane" several months ago, I was hooked.
I was also drawn to the fact that the band is independent and released their new album "You Are We" without a record label. Their videos are pulling in millions of views and I'm sure it is selling well too. I'm a big advocate for artists who challenge the music distribution model that has been left in the dust by technological changes.
While She Sleeps, having been friends with Bring Me The Horizon vocalist Oli Sykes for some time, has his full backing. He even appeared on their brand new album "You Are We", bringing back his signature screams on "Silence Speaks".
Getting a co-sign from Oli Sykes, arguably the biggest frontman in the alternative scene today is an explosive shift of momentum for any artist. This band didn't need his endorsement, but I'm glad they got it. This band is writing music with an authenticity that is rare in the modern climate.
Something special is happening in Europe right now. Bring Me The Horizon, Architects, and While She Sleeps are turning the market upside down with their monstrous music. It's truly special to see something so special happening for a group of friends from the same area.
Check out new music from While She Sleeps and give their new album "You Are We" a listen. It's out now! You won't be disappointed.

This Week's Prompt
This week's phrase is a bit older, dating back to the mid-1500's. It speaks to the power of brainstorming and problem solving. Our MCs meet a lot of archetypes along their journeys, sometimes building their own ragtag team. While some MCs insist on running the show, often times decisions are made as a group. Your MC has come to a crossroads and isn't sure how to proceed. Show us your group dynamic. I like it dark, don't be afraid to push the envelope.
The rules are simple:
- Read the prompt and the history behind the phrase.

Sugar Free, Grain Free, Dairy Free – Who Me? OH YES!
Apologies for the crazy title – but I can not believe that in a span of 15 days I have gone from craving carbs, sugar, and covering everything with cheese to some one who is very happily eating sugar-free, grain-free and dairy-free! How? Why? Was it hard?
Let's start with the WHY! For as long as I could remember, I was the kid who picked sweet treats, pasta, and carbs of any kind over any other choices presented to me. While I was young and very active, it really wasn't a big deal. Sure I thought I was eating healthy – most of the time – but after I had my first child 17 years ago, I just never quite felt right. I always seemed to be tired, had brain fog, craved carbs, was moody – the works. And even after I started eating gluten-free, I saw some improvement, but something was still not right.
After I had my second child I was working with a nutritionist who had me do a "detox" diet for three days. It was HARD. But I felt great when I was done. So when I got so frustrated with my health this winter I started researching and looking for that detox that I did 15 years ago. In this same time frame I joined a gym and it just so happens that Dr. Oz would be on everytime I happened to be there – I love watching his show and he really does offer common sense information. I felt somewhat inspired to find a detox plan that would help me jump start a healthier eating plan.
So many of the detox plans I found were not based on real food, rather on expensive drinks, shakes and supplements – that were EXPENSIVE! No thank you!
I kept looking and came across Dr. Mark Hyman's new book The Blood Sugar Solution 10-Day Detox Diet – I read the intro, re-read the intro, and then I knew this was the guidance I had been looking for. Dr. Hyman is famous for his expertise in functional medicine – medicine based on finding the underlying causes for disease and using a systems based approach for treating it – and is very well respected by so many in the medical field – including Dr. Oz. The whole plan is based on WHOLE food, not over processed, manufactured convenience food.
But I digress. So I ordered the 10-Day Detox Diet book, went to the grocery store to pick up a few essentials – like fresh veggies, raw nuts, and almond milk, and told myself I could do it. And guess what? Once I got past the first day, it was WAY easier than I ever thought it would be. Even my kids wanted in on it – they loved the wide variety of veggies I started making at meal time – and have been very supportive.
What I found was that my body did not feel like it was on a roller coaster any more. It was almost like I didn't realize how bad I had been feeling until I suddenly started to feel so much better. What I didn't realize was that my old diet was causing my insulin levels to go up and down all day long leaving me feeling sluggish, foggy and with a good case of the munchies all the time. Stabilizing your insulin levels is the main premise in Dr. Hyman's Blood Sugar Solution series – and it is all beginning to make sense.
I know what you are dying to know. Did I lose weight? Well, honestly, that is not the primary reason I started this program, however, on about day 6 of the detox I did get on the scale and I had lost 6 lbs. I will probably weigh myself again in a few days. Even though I am technically done with the 10-Day Detox, I feel so much better that I am going to just keep going with it. In the book, Dr. Hyman does offer three levels of post-detox reintroduction depending on your level of sensitivity to the primary culprits – sugar, gluten, grains and dairy.
I am a firm believer in one solution does not fit all – we each have our own unique body chemistry, our own genetic blueprint, and our own environmental influences. What I do know is Dr. Hyman's book has been the roadmap for the wake up call I have needed for so long.
You can expect that I will be sharing more Paleo and Low Glycemic recipes and resources, updates on how I am doing, and more thoughts on Dr. Hyman's Blood Sugar Solution. For now, I will just say that if you have FLC (Feeling Like Crap) Syndrome, you just might want to check it out.
You can buy the The Blood Sugar Solution 10-Day Detox Diet, The Blood Sugar Solution and The Blood Sugar Solution Cookbook through Amazon or most other book retailers.

One of our big expenses is fuel. We spend much more on fuel each week than we do on food and food is costing more each trip to the grocery.
Usually I fill up three times a week and with hunting season now included maybe 4-5 times. This week unleaded fuel dipped below $3/gal in northern Indiana. From what I am being told it go as low as $2.50 before the Christmas gouge.
Without getting into why the price is dropping a fill-up isn't making me grit my teeth as much.

Running a profitable business that is also sustainable are often two aspects that don't always come hand in hand. Ten Tree, a company using great fashion garments as their tool to help the world. Planting 10 trees for every item sold, their ethos is simple. They have since changed ecosystems which has helped lead to jobs in highly deprived areas. It's companies like this that we should all invest in. Let's get shopping.

These days, most people assume you need to pay a boatload of money for a quality college education. As a result, students and their parents are willing to go into years of debt and potentially sabotage their financial futures just to get a fancy name on a diploma. But Zac Bissonnette is walking proof that the assumption is not only false, but dangerous.
Regular price: $27.99
There has never been a craze like Beanie Babies. The $5 beanbag animals with names like Seaweed the Otter and Gigi the Poodle drove millions of Americans into a greed-fueled frenzy as they chased the rarest Beanie Babies, whose values escalated weekly in the late 1990s. A single Beanie Baby sold for $10,000, and on eBay the animals comprised 10 percent of all sales.
Regular price: $24.50
Striking out on your own for the first time is exhilarating. But in a culture full of bad advice, predatory banks, and splurge-now-pay-later temptations, it can also be extremely dangerous - leading you to make financial decisions that could hurt you for years to come. Combine this with a slumped economy, mounds of student loans, and dubious examples from reality TV stars to politicians to your own parents, and it's no wonder so many twenty-somethings are struggling.
Regular price: $24.49

The Asylum have also ventured into conducting cheap versions of classic adventure/science-fiction books that have fallen into public domain around the same time as The Land That Time Forgot, adapted from a 1918 novel by Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs, they also made an adaptation of Burroughs Princess of Mars (2009). Elsewhere they have conducted their own version of H.G. Wellss War of the Worlds (2005) at the same time as the Steven Spielberg remake came out; an adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyles The Lost World (1912) as King of the Lost World (2005), which was designed to exploit the Peter Jackson King Kong (2005); Allan Quatermain and the Temple of Skulls (2008), a loose borrowing of H. Rider Haggards King Solomons Mines (1885) served up as a copy of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008); and their own Sherlock Holmes (2009) at the same time as the Guy Ritchie film; versions of Jules Vernes Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008) and 30,000 Leagues Under the Sea (2007).
Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote The Land That Time Forgot at the time when lost world fiction was flourishing, featuring stories about adventurers discovering lost cities and civilisations or prehistoric life beyond the charted borderlands of the known world. The lost world genre fairly much died off after the 1930s when the geographical closing off of most regions of the world deprived the genre of its unexplored sense of mystery. The lost world also enjoyed a brief flourish on cinema screens between the late 1910s and the 1930s, reaching its height with King Kong (1993), but little beyond that. The British company Amicus and director Kevin Connor previously conducted a fine production of The Land That Time Forgot (1974) starring Doug McClure. Those involved went onto several other films in a similar vein, including adapting Edgar Rice Burroughs The People That Time Forgot (1977) as a sequel and other Burroughs lost world works like At the Earths Core (1976), as well as the similar Warlords of Atlantis (1978). What is noticeable about the Amicus films is that they had to backdate the era that they were set in to the Victorian/Edwardian period so that the films could still hold the same sense of adventure. Other sporadic ventures into lost world cinema, notably Disneys The Island at the Top of the World (1974) and Peter Jacksons King Kong, took the same approach of setting everything period. Other works such as the remake of King Kong (1976) floundered badly by trying to update the adventure to the present-day.
The Asylums The Land That Time Forgot bravely places the story in the present-day. They never go so far as the have the lost world (which is oddly never named Caprona) existing as an undiscovered continent but create a parallel world a la Land of the Lost (1974-7), which is arrived at via one of those laser light time warps that seem to regularly appear out of nowhere to transport ships see also The Final Countdown (1980). This version transports us to the lost world within the first five minutes, ditching Edgar Rice Burroughs and Amicuss preamble about survivors sunken by a torpedo and capturing a German U-Boat, which took up nearly a third of the 1974 film. The Asylum version does not abandon the Germans but perfectly acceptably grafts these scenes onto the end of the film and has the survivors and Germans having to cooperate together to get off the island. This version also adds a time warp, which was not present in the Edgar Rice Burroughs book, conveniently allowing the present-day heroes to mingle with the WWII-era Germans.
The Land That Time Forgot is directed by and stars C. Thomas Howell, who has become a star of sorts for The Asylum, having appeared in eight of their titles to date. Although he had directed before, beginning with Hourglass (1996), Howell has parlayed his name to being able to direct at the same time as star in several of The Asylums titles with The Day the Earth Stopped (2008) and War of the Worlds 2: The Next Wave (2008).
Certainly, The Asylum appear to have thrown a little more than they regularly do at The Land That Time Forgot. The CGI effects representing the dinosaurs are better than usual for their films. On the minus side, the staging of the sequences is still down at a B-budget level. We get sporadic appearances of a tyrannosaurus rex, a pterodactyl and an attack by an unidentified tentacle from out of a river at one point, but there is the sense that these are being thinly creatively stretched. While these may have worked for the 1974 version, for a post-Jurassic Park (1993) film they seem distinctly lacking. They needed staging with much more dramatic flourish, which a bigger budget and more commercially minded director would have no doubt brought. Nevertheless, C. Thomas Howell does eventually pull off one exciting sequence with the group working together to bait the tyrannosaurus rex. Much of the story never seems more than a series of random wilderness encounters, although it does pick up dramatically at the point when the survivors start to cooperate with the Germans.

In today's programmed worship service at ESR, Michael Sherman preached from Hebrews 10 about sacrifice. Michael argued that Jesus' death on the cross was the final sacrifice and that God no longer desires Christians to sacrifice, but rather to give of ourselves willingly.
This resurfaced some questions I have been asking since being in seminary: What was and is the meaning of Jesus' death on the cross? How did or does Jesus' death save us? What does it mean for Christians to sacrifice? Perhaps exploring the very word "sacrifice" will help.
Sacrifice comes from "sacra," which means holy, and "facere," which can mean to make, to do, or to perform.1 "Holy," it is important to note, comes from "hale," which means health, heartiness, wholeness.2 Literally, to sacrifice means to make or do something something holy, something whole.
If Jesus' death on the cross was a sacrifice, then Jesus' death was something holy and whole, or it made some thing or things holy and whole--or both. As I understand it, this is consistent with the gospel. Christians proclaim that Jesus' death on the cross has
reconciled humanity and God. Some say that his death has
reconciled the whole world with God. That through Jesus' death, we receive forgiveness of sins, and through Jesus' wounds we are healed.
That the cross has dismantled the wall between Jew and Gentile. Jesus' death is holy and whole because it makes us holy and whole. If his death did none of these things, then it
would not be holy; it would not be a sacrifice.
How does Jesus' death make us holy? In my theology class last semester we learned about the classical theories of atonement. First is the New Testament teaching about sacrifice, rooted in the Jewish tradition of sacrificing lambs for the forgiveness of sins, in which Jesus is the sacrificial lamb whose blood covers humanity's sins once and for all. In the Ransom/Classic/Christus Victor Theory, Satan has dominion over human souls, so God offers Jesus' life to Satan in exchange for human souls. But God tricks Satan by raising Jesus from the dead, thus winning complete victory over death and evil. The Satisfaction/Objective Theory states that our disobedience has dishonored God to such an extent that humans can do nothing to satisfy our debt. Only God can pay this debt, and does through Jesus, who is both human (thus he can die) and divine (thus his death fully pays back our debt). Finally, the Moral Influence/Subjective Theory teaches that Jesus' death is an example of God's love for us, and that it should inspire us to turn from our sinfulness, seek God's forgiveness, and receive God's love. Without Jesus' death, we would not be moved to so change. These are not the only theories, no doubt, and I do not think they completely answer the question of how Jesus' death makes us holy because I think holiness is about more than only the forgiveness of sins. Still, each of the theories, although in different ways, proclaim that somehow Jesus' death makes us one, or whole, with God.
For Christians, Jesus' sacrifice is the act of holiness which changes everything. But is it the final sacrifice, the final act of holiness? Michael objected to someone doing something self-giving for another person with the expectation or requirement that the other person do something in return. I think Michael's objection was because such an action is not healthy for relationships; it is not done in love, but in fear and selfishness. Such an action, however, is not a whole or holy work, and thus it is not a sacrifice. Rather, it is expression of a need, or manipulation, disguised as sacrifice. I agree that God does not desire us to do such actions, but rather works done in obedience to God, in genuineness, in willingness, and in love. I would call these works sacrifices. I believe that Jesus went to the cross willingly in obedience to God, and not out of fear that God would damn him if he didn't, and not to guilt humanity into being good. As horrible as he knew it would be, Jesus offered himself in the joy of knowing that his death would bring us peace. I also believe that Jesus loved God and knew God's love for him and so obeyed God in love.
What does it look like for Christians to sacrifice? What do we do that is holy and whole, or makes some thing or things holy and whole?
What contributes to the wholeness and completion of ourselves and the
world? An author pouring herself into a novel can be sacrifice. A caregiver tending someone in pain can be sacrifice. Also, playing ping
pong with a friend can be sacrifice. Worshiping in silence can be
sacrifice. Perhaps what makes these things sacrifices is love. As Paul
writes in 1 Corinthians 13, all the actions in the world, even the most
self-giving ones, are meaningless without love. Love makes a work holy
and whole.
Our sacrifice shares in the same meaning as Jesus' death because both are done in love and contribute to reconciling that which is estranged from God with God. Our sacrifice is our ministry, in wonderfully various forms, our cross that we take up and through which we live and share life with others. Our sacrifice is our willingness to offer ourselves in obedience to God, wherever God may lead us--and our following through.
The worship service ended with the hymn "When I Survey the Wond'rous Cross," which concludes with the following words:
"Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were an offering far too small
Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all!"
In receiving the love of God, we are invited to wholly offer ourselves to the Life, and so become holy and whole. While Jesus' death was, according to the author of Hebrews, the end of one kind of sacrifice, the burnt offering sacrifice, Christians are called to be living sacrifices: vessels of love whose lives are holy and whole, people who, in obedience to and participation with God, make things holy and whole.

Author's note: Sorry for missing two chapters, but sometimes life likes to kick you in the nuts.
Anywho, now back to our regularly scheduled Savage Divinity. Enjoy.
Sitting in hopeless despair, Xiao HuoLong worked at his bindings, glaring at the surround guards while choking on his gag. That stupid bitch Shrike, her reputation was worthless as a eunuch's cock. Ambushing the Major, sending her Aspirants away, allowing soldiers led by children to overtake her, even abandoning him in her haste to escape, it was all an unmitigated disaster of epic proportions. The woman wasn't fit to manage a gaggle of whores much less a force of warriors.
Then again, she seemed a little loony, a quiet desperation in her eyes whenever she spoke of Rain. No sign of the Spirits within her as others might have suggested, but it only meant there was something profoundly wrong with her. The ease with which she'd accepted his accusations surprised him, but he'd been in no position to question his good fortune. Now he was no better off than before, still in the hands of the enemy, helplessly waiting for death. At least he had hope his death would be clean, without all the unpleasant torture and ceremony the Aspirants so loved to take part in.
A procession of soldiers made their way into camp and HuoLong's stomach flopped as he recognized the Shrike's mounts, knowing there was no longer any hope of rescue, no matter how slim it might have been. The Shrike needed him but these brats were likely to kill him out of hand. In fact, he hoped they'd do it soon, instead of using him as a tool to hone their skills, hoping to further their own reputations.
Resigned to his fate, HuoLong hunched over and waited, presenting what he hoped to be a calm and unruffled demeanour while inwardly lamenting his fate, doing his best to ignore the Spirits and their whispers of surrender. They'd been quiet of late, sensing his agitation and displeasure with them, but now they were back in full force, promising power should he only accept it.
Nattering bastards, only now in his darkest moments did they reappear, hoping to tempt him into dancing to their tune. Too busy with their 'chosen' with no time to spare for Laughing Dragon, a loyal believer for decades. His self-control and discipline filled them with disapproval, preferring Gen's unrestrained devotion, but what did they expect? Laughing Dragon had no army of believers to guard him from the enemy's wrath, only a few dozen Firebrands all lost to him now.
All because the Spirits failed to grant him power and abandoned him in his time of need. A pox on them all.
Choking on his impotence and filled with regret, he watched as Falling Rain was brought down from the horse, the incompetent fool still unconscious. Another of the Spirits' chosen, the brat's strength filled HuoLong with envy. In what way was Laughing Dragon lacking?
A healer set to work on the formerly ignorant Enlightened and HuoLong's hopes were piqued, sensing the Spirits still at play within the boy. Perhaps now, knowing what he did, the boy would want a Mentor, a teacher, someone to show him the way. If only he could speak with Rain in private, offer his experience in hiding his true nature and dealing with the urges. Perhaps there was still hope to be had. All he needed to do was convince Rain there was a place for him by his side. They could tell the world Laughing Dragon was being used to root out the 'Defiled', a tool in the battle against the 'Enemy', much like the Shrike was planning. Instead, they would rally the Enlightened to their cause, biding their time until they were poised to strike and overturn the Empire.
After the better part of an hour, Rain rose from his slumber. No smiles or cheer, merely nodding in thanks to the other Officers, clasping hands and saluting, playing his part to perfection. Yes boy, worm your way into their friendship, bring these young talents into the light. A wondrous path lay before him, a hero of the Empire, poised to bring great change to the world.
How glorious it would be to have his own name, Xiao HuoLong, echo in eternity. He could see it now, history looking fondly upon Laughing Dragon, the man who made it all possible. The man who guided a young talent into overthrowing the dog-emperor and his heathen followers, scouring the Mother and her believers from the land. Eagerly chomping at his gag, he stared expectantly at Rain, deferential yet unbroken, respectful yet proud.
Leaning over him, Rain looked on with disinterest. "Why is this filth still alive?"
The single sentence crushed all of HuoLong's hopes and aspirations, crumbling beneath the weight. One whelp answered, a snobby brat in fine silk armour. "Well, I wanted your opinion. After all those innocents died in the Purge, it seems a disservice to allow this one to die easy, but I knowing your distaste for torture…" The whelp shrugged. "Up to you how he dies."
"I won't dirty my hands torturing him myself."
"You won't have to. My manservant is a man of many talents. He handled DuGu Ren's… execution."
"I see." Rain's haunting amber eyes pierced through HuoLong without a shred of mercy. Kneeling down, he removed the gag and sneered, his anger burning within. An act likely, no mercy for the 'Defiled', the boy had to further his own cause and couldn't bother to save a mere Laughing Dragon. "Because of you, thousands died in horrific manner, which isn't entirely your fault, but how many died at your hands in a similar manner?"
"More than I can count," he replied honestly, unable to muster a shred of defiance. "I've been at this for decades, can't remember them all. Barely remember those from the village I found ye in."
"You disgust me, and it pains me we lack the time and tools to properly 'reward' you." Standing up, Rain turned to the snobby brat. "Have your manservant handle this, but ask him to keep things quiet. The rest of us need to sleep, we've a long day ahead. There are more Defiled to be killed and I won't stop until the Province is cleansed of their filth."
His body gone slack, HuoLong allowed himself to be dragged away, ignoring the fevered appeals of the Spirits still trying to convince him to surrender. He was no fool, he knew what followed would merely be death in another form, his transmigration nothing but a ploy to bolster Rain's reputation. Fuck the Spirits and fuck their cause, at least this way, he would die as Xiao HuoLong, the Laughing Dragon, his own man.
It would have to be enough.
As the unremarkable torturer placed a funnel in HuoLong's mouth and lifted a pot of boiling water, he knew it wouldn't, letting loose with his first and last scream of the night.
Standing in the hallway, Charok swallowed his fear and calmed his nerves with a slow breath. He knew this wouldn't be easy, but upon his arrival, he found his legs turned to quivering iron, refusing to budge another step as he imagined all the horrors awaiting him on the other side of the door. With each passing day, the mood at the Wall grew darker as their losses mounted. Although the people living here were hardy folk, well versed in hardship and mourning, few lived through such trying times. From several prominent vantage points, the endless hordes of Defiled could be seen camped outside the walls, a dizzying sight even to a seasoned warrior like Charok. Losing a Major General, four Brigadiers and eleven Colonels in a single night was a bitter pill to swallow, without even mentioning the greatest loss of all.
Not only the Bridge, but most people living in the province had never known a time without the Unyielding Nian Zu standing guard, watching over them with his famed mace poised to strike down any Defiled who sought to pass. From his single-handed defence of the eastern gate as a lowly Captain, all the way to his desperate bid to retake the outer walls after the former Commander's gruesome death, the stories of Nian Zu's prowess quickly became things of legend as his exploits spread through song and poem.
From lowly servant to rugged veteran, all were disheartened by the noted absence of their invincible guardian. With the remains of his ruined manor sitting in clear view, the people's faith in their renowned hero waned, most believing him dead or worse. A dark cloud hung over the city as tongues whispered of abandoning the Wall to flee for safety, though where safety might be found was a matter of debate. Jia Yang's refusal to reassure the masses only fuelled the gossip and if you asked the common man, the Bridge was doomed to fall. Something had to be done, something to shift the tides and lift the spirits, and Charok knew exactly what it was.
He merely wished someone else would do it in his stead.
Alas, no one else could, so he wiped away his sweat and gathered his courage before forcing himself to take the last step and confront his Father-in-Law. To Alsantset, Baatar would always be her Papa, the sweet, gentle man who made silly faces and told her bedtime stories as a child, doting on her every whim. To Charok, Baatar would always be the Iron Captain, the stern, disapproving, peerless warrior who had to be emotionally blackmailed into accepting their marriage. No matter, Baatar was a man who respected strength and so long as Charok presented himself with strength, then his argument would be heard.
Rapping the solid oak door twice, the resulting tap-tap made him wince, sensing the coming criticism for his soft knocking. Feeble and inadequate, unbecoming of a warrior, but knocking again would only be rude, so he stayed his hand and closed his eyes in resignation, waiting for permission before entering. Holding his breath as the seconds dragged on, Charok was left to imagine how everything might go wrong, his last nerve fraying as he struggled to stand in place, the thought of fleeing at the forefront of his mind. No one would know, not even the servants remained now, all sent away to offer privacy in this difficult time. Only the vision of Alsantset's tired smile kept him here, exhausted from defending a province which considered her little more than chattel if not for her battle prowess. It was ludicrous how she risked her life to defend those ingrates, but when the choice was between having arrogant lunkheads or murderous Defiled as neighbours, it wasn't a difficult choice to make.
He would never understand her love for battle, but he accepted it as part of her, wishing he could be happy fighting at her side, but the life of a mercenary made him miserable, and she knew it. They decided to try living as her parents did, him staying home while she travelled the world half the year, returning to him in the winter. It wouldn't work, he knew it now, the waiting made him more miserable than any amount of battle ever could.
Coming back to the present, he realized he'd been waiting for minutes, or near enough. Frowning as he knocked again, this time with a firm thump-thump, he realized his error and prayed he wasn't interrupting Baatar's sleep. Horrified, the thought of retreat crossed his mind once more, but it was too late. A weary voice called out, "Come in," and Charok could do little but comply, sheepishly opening the door despite his earlier plans to come out strong. Already off to a bad start, Charok spied the flash of disappointment on Baatar's face, quickly hidden by his customary steely neutrality. "Ah, it's you. Is the girl on her way?"
"Ah no, it's uh… just me. Alsantset is at home resting. With the twins." Don't stammer, Baatar hates that. "She, ah, she's exhausted from fighting. Defending the Wall," he corrected, as if it needed to be clarified. "I brought food." Make more obvious statements fool. "Rice and meat for you, and ginger chicken soup for Sarnai."
Feeling out of sorts, Charok placed the food on the nightstand and took a seat, waiting in silence as Baatar delicately sat Sarnai up, holding her in his arms. With painstaking caution, Baatar blew on the soup before slowly placing a spoonful into her mouth, the image of a dutiful husband caring for his wife. Using the respite to collect himself, Charok studied the fearsome Baatar, only now noticing how worn and subdued the older warrior appeared. Dark rings creased the skin around his eyes with wrinkles sprouting across his forehead overnight. His usual confidence nowhere to be found, Baatar's desperation hurt to watch as he whispered sweet nothings to his comatose wife. His wolf ears, normally upright and pointed, laid flat against his head as he sat with hunched shoulders and drooping eyes, Baatar looked to have aged a decade in mere days, diminished by his grief.
The entire scene was so intimate it felt wrong to intrude, and Charok turned away to offer a modicum of privacy. His heart tightening in his chest, he stared out the window and idly wondered how he would fare were he in Baatar's place. Poorly, he decided. How cruel a trial the Mother laid out for Baatar, to see the love of his life hale and healthy, warm to the touch and breathing as if asleep, yet to be told she would never wake again, the spark inside which made her a person cruelly snuffed out while only her body remained. Here, hope was nothing more than a false promise, luring Baatar deeper into the depths of despair as he cared for a living corpse and prayed for a miracle.
An unenviable situation.
"Thank you for the food, but you need not stay." Baatar's gruff voice sounded out, snapping Charok out of his reveries. Smoothing out his wife's blankets, the old warrior continued speaking without a glance. "I've no need for a nanny. If the girl is so worried for my health, she can come nag me herself."
"She didn't send me here." His words were a mistake, Baatar staggering as if physically struck. Sighing, he crumpled into his chair and shook his head, his eyes never leaving his wife. They lapsed into silence once more, minutes passing before Charok finally found the courage to speak again. "Something needs to be done."
Another mistake he realized too late as he found himself lifted in the air, Baatar snarling ferociously as his fingers clamped around Charok's throat. "No one will harm her while I still draws breath. This I swear."
The only reply was a strangled gurgle, unable to free himself from Baatar unyielding grip. Realization flashed through Baatar's ice cold eyes, quickly replaced by panic and remorse as he released Charok none to gently. "My apologies," he muttered, smoothing out Charok's clothes. "I lost my head. You weren't speaking of Sarnai, were you?"
Sputtering as he massaged his throat, Charok shook his head, face red from exertion and shame. Though it'd been years since he left the Banner, he'd foolishly believed his strength had grown in recent years, his control of Chi improving by leaps and bounds. How foolish a fancy, before Baatar, he was still no different from a child, unable to resist even in the slightest. "I meant about the Wall." Straightening himself out, he forced himself to look Baatar in the eyes without flinching. "If you've given up on defending the province, then you should give the order to retreat."
"I've not given up." The snarl was back, the wolf snapping at him even as he collapsed back into his chair, so full of rage and sorrow, a caged beast ready to lash out. "I'd have thought of all people you'd understand. I've more important matters to attend to, Sarnai needs me and the Wall will hold in my absence. Even with Jia Yang at the helm, the officers on the Wall have decades of experience serving under Nian Zu. Good men leading good soldiers, they'll hold no matter what that buffoon does."
Understanding dawned on him as he watched Baatar dismiss reality with a wave of his hand. "No one told you? Teng Wei Sheng is dead and with him his entire cadre of officers. Han BoHai's advice is outright ignored when not ridiculed and his troops placed on reserve so Jia Yang can claim all the glory. The battle is going poorly. In the last day, the Defiled have almost taken the walls thrice and every soldier has been called to action as the Enemy continues their attack, unabated day and night. They seek to waste our strength and overwhelm us before sending in a wave of Demons, dozens of them gathered on the horizon in plain sight, filling the soldiers with despair. Your daughter isn't at your side because of lack of empathy, but because she is desperately fighting day and night, holding back the tide which threatens to overwhelm us all."
Brow furrowed, Baatar slumped even further in his chair as he glanced at his wife, reluctance on display. "Thrice? Are things really so bad? Why has Ghurda not taken things in hand, she is no less able a commander than I."
"Ghurda suggested Alsantset order an evacuation, but your daughter is loathe to abandon your post." Charok refrained from pointing out Baatar abandoned it first, and how unfair it was for him to dump his burdens on her. "Talented though she may be, she isn't like you, a leader of soldiers. She's a duellist, a solitary warrior, unused to cooperating with a partner much less coordinating tens of thousands of troops. Yes, you've lost a wife, but she lost a mother and yet still she fights. She fights for her father's honour, not her own, holding your place in your absence, hoping to see your dreams come to fruition. Put an end to your mourning, or at least put it aside for now. You need to take command and be the hero she believes you are."
Holding his hand up, Baatar lowered his head, eyes closed in concentration. Belatedly, Charok realized he was Sending to someone, perhaps Ghurda or Alsantset, verifying the situation. After long minutes, he sat up and took Sarnai's hand again, ignoring Charok in stony silence. Just as he was about to try again, a knock came at the door and a trio of servants streamed in as Baatar rattled off a list of instructions for Sarnai's care while donning his armour.
Pride swelling in his chest, Charok followed Baatar out the door and to the stables where their quins sat harnessed and ready. As they rode towards the Wall, they were soon joined by an escort of Sentinels, Alsantset among them, her smile no longer tired and resigned, but radiant and hopeful as she clasped his hand in silent thanks. Their escort swelled in size as Han BoHai joined them, a magnificent sight to behold as Major General Baatar rode through the streets, back straightened and shoulders raised, finally ready to aid in the defence. Though night was upon them, their procession didn't go unnoticed, many citizens still awake, unable to sleep for fear and trepidation. Muted cheers and subdued optimism greeted them, Baatar's mere presence inspiring confidence, his recent exploits not lacking when compared to Nian Zu's early career. Nian Zu's chosen successor, finally here to save the day.
The sounds of battle grew clearer as they moved up the stairs, passing a steady stream of dead and wounded flowing down towards the hospices. Baatar's mere presence kindled their spirits, the soldiers saluting as he passed, their eyes burning with hope and ambition, confident he would lead them to victory. It was his way, a born leader of men, the Iron Commander Baatar.
As Baatar burst into a meeting room, Charok delighted in Situ Jia Yang's conflicted gaze, the stubborn fool unsure whether to laugh or cry. Fortunately, Jia Yang knew the situation was desperate and settled for a simple reproach while accepting aid. "How fortuitous, the Bloody-Fanged Wolf has finally deigned to grace us with his presence. You are appraised of the situation I gather? Suggestions?"
Drawing himself up, Baatar appeared every speck the hero Alsantset made him out to be, resplendent in his silver and black armour. "As Commander of the Wall, heed my order: sound the retreat. Evacuate the citizens."
Silence fell upon the room, not a single person in earshot daring to draw breath.
Perhaps, Charok mused as he watched despair threaten to overcome his wife, it would have been better to let sleeping dogs lie.
Please note, this meme is not any sort of political statement, nor does it reflect my political views. It's merely a picture I find amusing and fits the theme of the chapter.

Haunted Attraction Reviews by Joe Rovinsky
2016 Halls of Horror Blood Experience
320 Delaware Ave., Palmerton
Halls of Horror is a hidden gem, and we are shocked by how many haunt fans are unaware of this special attraction. So many so-called extreme haunts pop up on various web pages, review sites and paid advertisements, none of which ever live up to their advertised hype. We have visited many of the so-called "extreme" events, and nothing compares to the level of twisted creativity, pure aggression and psychological torment doled out by the house of torment known as Halls of Horror.
Every single season this attraction continues to deliver with an adult, mature-themed attraction that creates an impressive horror experience coupled with a traditional haunted attraction. This is not an attraction for those easily offended and unable to let down their guard and become direct participants in a horrific show that is mentally and physically exhausting.
Halls of Horror is almost indescribable in its ability to generate real fear, yet it never crosses the line between an "extreme" haunt and all-out assault. "Extreme" haunts seem to use violence and torture to garner their reputations, yet these experiences are not exactly entertaining. Halls of Horror strikes the perfect balance between "extreme" and "traditional/classic" haunted attractions, as while physical, the operators are extremely professional in how they run it. Limits are pushed even further this year, and Halls of Horror prides itself on scaring guests to the point of submission. At times it's hard to differentiate between reality and the show, as the attraction has mastered the art of cultivating a sense of vulnerability as a scare tool. Guests are at the mercy of each demented actor, and there is no doubt that this is an aggressive, mature attraction.
The actors never let up on the guests and make the experience memorable. It's hard to forget the mental imagery of a disturbed pregnant woman "ejecting" her fetus into a pile of empty pills and beer cans, and a twisted clown who had us play a "game" in a dark ball-pit scene.
The interactive scenarios presented by Halls of Horror are not for those easily scared or unable to complete an aggressive haunted attraction. You will either have to let go of any inhibitions and "submit" to the experience or quit.
The Final Word
Respect the Halls of Horror and you will experience a once-in-a-lifetime horror experience unlike any other. Allowing yourself to take part in the "Blood Experience" is allowing yourself to engage in a horror movie come to life, featuring nonstop action, aggression and torment. This is a mature, adult-themed attraction geared to fans who want more from their run-of-the-mill attractions. Halls of Horror is a perfect mix of extreme and classic haunts, creating a show that is terrifying, humorous and always engaging. There isn't an attraction that comes close to the organized chaos created by this innovative attraction, and we hope to continue to see it grow and prosper.

Here's another thing that's going to really get everybody all hot and bothered - They can be had at Giardinelli (Musician's Friend). I'm not going to buy one, but wondered if anyone had any thoughts, feelings, opinions... Stupid question - I know, but I'm asking anyway!! Ladies and Gentlemen, watch your lanes. You may commence firing.

Thanks for your feedback!
Good readFormer SEAL Bran Palladino and Maddy Powers are as different as two people can be but there is something between them that can't be explained. Bran's past and the secrets he carries won't allow him to go after her but when he learns she's in trouble he's the first one out the door! Maddy wants Bran but knows he has walls she will never be able to climb. When a fun island trip takes a nightmarish turn Maddy know Bran is the only one who can help her. Will he come? Not a fav of mine but overall a decent read. I found the story a bit jumpy and not the smooth easy pace I like. Definitely filled with sizzle and adventure though so if you enjoy those this one's for you!by Bette on July 05, 2016

Devil and the Deep by Julie Ann WalkerDevil and the Deep by Julie Ann Walker A fantastic addition to the romantic suspense and action Deep Six series. I was immediately engaged with the characters and along for the ride. The book does stand alone if the first hasn't been read. While the men are strong, hunky and real heroes here, I love the women, the crazy conversations, the movie quips and the southernisms in this book. The women are confident in some ways but unsure in opposite aspects. They know themselves and what they want. And they go for it. No timid characters here. Maddie has been through some traumatic events, and has survived by becoming stronger and more apt to go after a goal. "There's no harm in asking for what you want" seems to be her current outlook. She gets her lips on Bran. No spoiler since it's a romance - there's a few hot sex scenes in this book. Former SEAL and all man after all. She's a bit snarky and a complete movie buff just like him. Alex is brainy and a talker. She's very funny but not intentionally. This is not her story, but a great lead in for when it is her turn. I can't wait to read more about her. Brando Pallidino and Madison Powers have been exchanging emails and phone calls since he helped rescued her. She's ready for more. He's willing to walk away because of scars from his past. "She pushed out of Bran's embrace and rolled in her lips, savoring the taste of him. Her heart was doing its damnedest to out-flutter a hummingbirds. And, if she weren't mistaken, at some point during their exchange, a puppeteer had connected strings to her knees and was now tugging on those strings, making her legs shiver and shake." Excerpt from Devil and the Deep by Julie Ann Walker. I received a copy of this book via NetGalley.by ReadingOverTV on July 05, 2016

2,5***I have read a lot of Julie Ann Walker books. I have loved some stories, struggled with others, but mainly enjoyed most of them. There are some characteristics, that seems to be in most of her stories. There are lots of inner reflections, random thoughts the characters are having, going from lust filled panting, to pop culture quotes, to completely irrelevant pondering. The humor is off the wall, and fitting for the younger generation, surprising on the thirty-something ex-SEALs. The secondary couple that we get glimpses of, that seems to be in every story, is often more interesting and intriguing than the primary one, and you are left to yearn for the next story, hoping it will be them. With these things in mind and the fact that I have always gone back for the next story, I will say, that I really struggled with this one. And mainly for all those reasons I mentioned above. I liked Alex and Mason, the secondary, pudding possible romance coming ahead couple. I liked them as characters, I enjoyed them together, and they were easy to connect with , the short times we heard the tale from their point of view. I had a harder time to connect with Bran and Maddy. I liked them both in the previous story, I was all ready to root for them and their HEA, and I didn't get there. I wasn't connecting with them, I didn't feel the connection between them, and I was bored. The inner reflections they were having, was like being with a group of people, who all have ADHD symptoms, and just can't focus, get it together, and survive the attacks. In a middle of the action, they are standing there lusting after each other, while being shot at. All that took any possible intensity, fear and danger away from the story, leaving me as a reader wanting. I love a good banter between characters, humor in the story, and some comic relief in intense situations, but here, in my opinion, it went too far. I also missed the rest of the team, maybe they could have brought some more balance into the chaos Bran and Maddy was making with the undeniable lust. So, I liked Alex and Mason, the few glimpses of the team, the support and advice they give each other, and their life on the tiny island. I know the author can write some seriously intense suspense and deadly action. I know she can write steamy romance without making it dull. There were dead bodies here as well, it just seemed like no one cared, also, it seemed like it was completely unnecessary aim to kill in the situation they were in. If you are a movie buff, who enjoys quotes from your favorite films, and use them in real life situations, if you enjoy Lethal Weapon movie type sophomoric humor, and silly banter in life and death moments, you are going to like this story well, I personally wanted little bit more of a story, and less nonsensical silliness. ~ Two Spoons with a teaspoon on the sideby Books & Spoons on July 18, 2016

Action-filled with a side of humorDEVIL AND THE DEEP is action-filled adventure with a heavy helping of humor that left me laughing so hard I was in tears and was a very fun introduction to Ms. Walker's writing for me. I have never read any of Ms. Walker's books before Devil and the Deep but the idea of SEALs searching for treasure is a very unique and unusual one, enough to intrigue me. I went in with no preconceptions and I'm glad becasue I really enjoyed it. Maddy Powers and Bran Palladino shared a scorching kiss in the previous installment of the series, one that has remained on their minds and they have formed a bond based on their shared experiences and the sizzling attraction between them, but Maddy wants more from Bran and if her planned excursion with the scholarship students from her family's foundation places her within reach of Bran, well, that's just a coincidence. Bran knows that the apple does not fall far from the tree and has vowed not to get involved in any long term relationship, to avoid the cycle of abuse that his parents lived in, but Maddy Powers, her sassy, feisty personality and her hot body threaten his resolve and make him behave in ways that are not normal to him, but he and his buddy are her only hope when she and her charges find themselves in some trouble, especially when it looks like more than a run of the mill attack. Okay, so I had one question: why would Maddy, knowing that her daddy was a rich as Croesus, step outside her home without a contingent of armed-to-the-teeth bodyguards? Especially when she wasn't packing heat like a good Texas gal? That said, I enjoyed her character, her runaway mouth and her southernisms which while sometimes corny, never failed to give me a good laugh. Bran on the other hand took some warming up to. I'm not really a fan of the tortured hero, especially when that torture is self-inflicted and even though he had good reason for his decision, I felt like his reservations were overblown to give him an out from commitment. In spite of that, I love a man who knows how to handle himself in battle and I enjoyed that he was all about keeping Maddy safe. I like how the author combined history and adventure with suspense and I'm looking forward to the rest of the series, including the treasure hunting. I enjoyed the secondary characters a lot, especially the teenagers and Alex and with the glimpse of Alex and Mason that we got in this book, I can't wait for more of their own story. I think that anyone who loves adventure (think Indiana Jones), suspense or action would enjoy this book. Even though this book can be read as a stand alone, I think that it would be best to start from the beginning of the series.

Webloggers will be out in force at the Democratic Convention this week. Good!
Bloggers form potent para-media
Unfettered, laptop-slinging observers are to post opinions on the Web about the Democratic meeting, the Tribune's John McCormick writes
John McCormick
Tribune staff reporter covering the convention
BOSTON -- As major news organizations unload truckloads of equipment and thousands of people to cover the Democratic National Convention, Bill Scher arrived here Sunday with little more than a laptop and digital camera.
The New York City resident is one of about 35 bloggers who have been given official credentials to cover the convention. Like most independent bloggers, Scher will work for free and pay most of his own expenses, posting his reports and commentary on LiberalOasis.com, a Web site with a typical daily audience of about 6,000.
"I want to try to fill in the gaps of the mainstream media," said Scher, who expects to spend about $1,000 from his own pocket. In a nod to the growing influence of the Internet in politics, the Democrats and the Republicans are for the first time providing workspace and credentials for bloggers at their summer conventions. The parties face the challenge of trying to harness the power of these irreverent voices without giving them a forum to blast their hosts.
Blogs, short for Web logs, are online journals that often feature commentaries on daily events and provide links to other Web sites. They tend to be far more freewheeling, opinionated and sometimes conspiratorial than the average newspaper or television network.
Scher's blog--his slogan is "Where the left is right and the right is wrong"--offers an array of liberal opinions, taking shots at President Bush for such alleged sins as paying insufficient attention to terrorism before the Sept. 11 attacks.
Blogs are emerging as potentially powerful tools for building grass-roots political support, and they have gained popularity ever since then-Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean's official blog attracted scores of visitors and contributors.
Brian Fallon, a spokesman for the Democratic National Convention, said about 200 bloggers applied for credentials to get inside Boston's FleetCenter, but he declined to say how the 35 winners were selected.
The Democrats are going out of their way to make the bloggers feel at home, sponsoring a welcome breakfast Monday and a "Blogger Bash" party Wednesday night.
Some have complained that only those friendly to the Democratic message were given access.
"What it means is that the Democratic Party is looking for more free media coverage, based on who they have credentialed," said Zephyr Teachout, who helped spearhead online activities for Dean's presidential campaign.
Teachout, now doing online work for America Coming Together, a Democratic voter mobilization group, said she is also aware of some credentialed bloggers who are paid political consultants.
"One should not act like they are being journalists when they are writing about someone who pays them," she said, declining to name the individuals.
Most bloggers don't portray themselves as objective reporters.
"I am not going to be a neutral observer. I'm an advocate. I'm an opinion writer or columnist," said Jeralyn Merritt, a Denver defense lawyer and writer of TalkLeft.com.
Merritt estimates her trip will cost about $3,000, and said she already has received about $1,900 in contributions from the more than 7,000 people who typically visit her site each day.
"Bloggers may not be journalists, but we are media people," she said. "I don't know why press credentials require you to be journalists."
Rich Gordon, who heads Northwestern University's new media department in the Medill School of Journalism, said blogs may have their greatest influence when they catch the eye of mainstream reporters, who look to the sites for news tips.
The presence of the bloggers does present something of a risk to convention organizers. Many of the bloggers here tend to be more liberal than Sen. John Kerry, and they may excoriate him if they consider his message at the convention too moderate.
Even the blogging community here has established its own gathering spot to share ideas. Conventionbloggers.com offers such tips as how to dress ("jeans, comfortable shoes ... and no ties") and where to find high-speed Internet access in downtown Boston.
Mainstream news organizations are also posting blogs from Boston. The Tribune, for example, will have at least three reporters writing blogs from the convention.

Second-class Citizen
My status as an overseas elector for Australian federal elections has been revoked! All Australians living in Australia must vote, but if you move to another country, then voting is no longer compulsory. I left Australia in 2001 and before doing so, applied to be an overseas elector. This gave me the right to vote in the federal elections via a postal vote that was distributed by the local embassy. However, the overseas elector status is only for a limited time period of up to 6 years. If you have not returned to Australia within that time frame, you have to re-register within the 3 months before the present 6 year term has expired. This extends your overseas elector status for only 1 more year. When I left Australia, I had not expected that I would still be living abroad 6 years later. Consequently, I didn't make any sort of note to remind myself to extend my overseas elector status. Now it seems that it is too late. Last week, I received a letter from the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) Division of Bruce indicating that my registration as an overseas elector has been cancelled, although my enrolment as an ordinary elector is maintained. I am angry and frustrated that the AEC only sends such a letter after the expiration date. Couldn't they have sent me a reminder that my overseas elector eligibility was about to expire so that I could re-register in time? I am sure there are some people who pay more attention to such things, but I also believe that there are many Australians who have been denied the right to vote due to this absurd situation. In the latter case, many names have also been removed from the electoral role, which then requires the person to re-enrol after one month upon their return to Australia. Although I have chosen to live abroad, it doesn't mean that I have cut all ties from Australia - far from it, in fact. So why am I being made to feel like a second-class citizen?

One of the most difficult parts of leading effectively is figuring out how to organize your time. You speak, mentor, and run meetings all day while your desk piles up with paperwork and projects that require quiet thinking time.
Both types of work are infinite, however, as a leader your most important task is communication – so if the tangible tasks on your to do list are pulling you away from essential conversations, chances are your team is floundering.
Time management is the first thing we work on with almost every leadership coaching client, because if you can get how you allocate your time under control, then you can actually think strategically, move forward, and grow yourself. Otherwise you are constantly distracted with urgent things pulling at you from all directions, and you never pull out of the frenzy.
To learn more about coaching, send an e-mail requesting a consultation (20-30 minutes by phone). And feel free to sample some of time tools we use with our clients:
Time Analysis Tool – This is a basic tool that can provide interesting insights into how you are currently spending your time compared to how you want to be spending your time.
Time-Blocking Tips – One of my favorite time management techniques is time-blocking. This is great for people who live by their calendar.
Using Routines to Increase Productivity – If you have some tasks that are fairly repetitive but not particularly interesting (think expense reports, e-mail) this is a great way to make them so automatic you barely notice you are doing them.
Seven Steps to Finding Control in a Chaotic Environment – Really helpful in coping with work environments that are chaotic, crazy, and interrupt driven. Provides a great way to stop and pull yourself together when you are feeling completely overwhelmed.
Tips on Building Habits – If you find yourself procrastinating this short article helps with habit building.
Get Control Now – If you are having an overwhelming day, and don't even have time to think about what to do about it – this is a quick five step process that you can do in just a few quick minutes, right now, to get on top of everything.
Five Surprising but Effective Time-Management Techniques – if you are ready to turn your relationship with time upside down, here are some unique ideas.
Time management tools can be useful, but they often don't address deeper internal conflicts that are at the source of the problem.
If you are dealing with:
- A work environment (or boss) that doesn't respect your time
- A constant feeling of anxiety or overwhelm
- Weeks of working 14 hour days with no end in sight
- Habitually missing deadlines, realizing you are the bottleneck as people wait for your approval
- Canceling non-urgent meetings (to mentor or train your team) in order to catch up
then what you might be facing is more of a values conflict issue. For example, if it's hard to say no, you may be taking on things you don't want to do. If it's important to be available, you probably get interrupted a lot. If you enjoy your creative work, you may be holding on to things others would delegate. If you shy away from conflict, you may have issues that could have been prevented had you intervened earlier. None of these inner conflicts have anything to do with time per say – it just turns out that not resolving them impacts your time.
When we coach our clients through values conflicts they are often surprised that they really can have the best of both worlds. For example, if you want to hold on to your more fulfilling quiet and creative work, that doesn't mean you can't lead – we just work it into your system.
If you'd like to discuss the challenges you are having with time, send an e-mail requesting a consultation (20-30 minutes by phone). I'd be happy to listen to your situation and share the approach I would most likely take, including what you can expect, and how it has worked for others.
Meanwhile here are some of my favorite books that help with time management (you can click on the image to get more details from Amazon)

.....I had the wonka golden ticket at how excited I was when I saw KnitXcore's post about the bread, and seriously, I was on a mission after that! Without any messing around, Here's the result:
"A" and I turned out 2 loaves. The white one was...phenomanal,(and almost gone) The dark one was made with Teff flour, and it was like a rock, but had an interesting flavor. After some more google strokin', I found out that Teff flour should only be substituted in a ration of 25% of the total flour amount, so that's where we hosed that one. but the recipe was correct, Even a 6 year old can bake bread as good as sullivan's bakery in Hells kitchen, NYC. For any more info, Check out Robbie's blog, he had an awesome post all about it, including the recipie and a video of the owner of the bakery making a few loaves. I'm a regular lurker there. As a final thought, There are 2 more loaves rising in the cupboard for tomorrow night! one with white all purpose flour. The other, 75% organic whole wheat/25% organic teff flour....(I don't give up easily)
Off the needles (yes, I said off) The Noro 1x1 scarf is done, but somebody obsconded with it already so pics will have to wait. A pair of knucks for B finally got knocked off, so without further words:
Tahki "Shannon" is a really fun yarn, and I scored a few balls at my lys a few weeks back with the intent on making a scarf for her, but she was right, it made great knucks. this was my 4th pair, and they are fun to knit, I just hate closing up the holes between the fingers. It's just a pain. I even got busy with the dyes yesterday with some reynolds "Candide" that I scored from my friend Mary's stash reduction sale last week. It's 100% virgin wool 2 ply that is a cream strand, tan strand plied together (I could have just said rag wool I suppose) and it took dye really well. These pics don't do it justice so I'll take some more in the day light if we ever get any around here before june.
The ball on the right, 197 yards, prochem dyes in 3 c0lors and one from country classic. The ball on the left was a half drunk, way-too-late-to start this experiment but what the hell.......I took the left over country classic mahogany (which I added too much yellow too, and it ended up looking exactly like the pro chem mocha brown I was using, ) and added it to a pot of simmering water, and tossed a 1/3 skein (I had made up for heels and toes) right in in the twisted skein form! I simmered about 2 minutes and cut the heat off, and continued to swish it around in the pot for another half hour while I had a few more drinks (a few) and by 2 am I had one beautiful rusty orange skein with dark yellow hints. the best part, was no tangles when I wound it. The party didn't stop there though....(no, it didn't) I left it in the pot until the next morning, hung it next to the de humidifier in the basement, and this evening, I've got my new boot sock yarn! that was an adventure for sure. Sundays are for fuzzy heads, late breakfasts, and long showers, The latter 2 were much more enjoyable I assure you. I finally got my Ravelry invite saturday, and signed up as Mattomite so don't leave me friendless!
have a good week, and watch out for old man winter, he gave us some flurries here tonight.

WoW!!!! your bread looks wayyyyy better than mine did!
I read after the fact, that i should have subbed some white flour for a lil' of the wheat i used, to make it less sticky.
I despise sewing the holes on the knucks closed so much that i had someone elese knit them for me in exchange for a sock monkey. lolz.

I had this feel,no matter how worst/good the situation is,if you start fantasizing something,you get to love it.It's always the first and rare expression you hold in your brain,to process it further.So one fine morning,in a total point-blank condition,you cook fried bean sprouts and eat all up with gusto.How does that feel? More good than any other food in the world.Well,i guess eating is a total psychological phenomenon.Can easily be guarded by the moods and vice versa.But i am still obsessed with pizza,snicker candy bars,blehs.Waiting for that pizza day,when i will get over with it too.Till then get to watch this and search for the distraction.

Gelato, Spaghetti
I have been on heavy diet schedule since one month.May have reduced 3 kgs around.Don't know how one does it.But i kind of did totally weird way.If you love selective foods and only eat those,then it's quite simple.Avoid those particular ones.Rest,anyhow would not interest you much.I was literally gourmandising KFC'c chicken popcorns and boneless ones.But you heard it,when it's gonna happen,it has to happen.I got it.Suddenly one day,started hating those boneless chicken cause of it's skin part tasted pathetic.I am over with it.Need my new love now.
