Room 101
As an adult, I've had several short stories and essays published (some you can read for free on my website patricktobin.net). I adapted one of my stories into a screenplay that eventually became the movie CAKE, which starred Jennifer Aniston as a character with chronic pain.
Five years ago, I was addicted to Xanax. It was like, one day I was popping the occasional .25 mg tablet to take the edge off and before I knew it I was taking twenty times the normal dose just to function.
How I got from Point A to Point B was made possible by the fact I was suspended in the warm amniotic fluid of near-total ignorance. I had a doctor who never mentioned addiction, even as she wrote ever-increasing prescriptions. And I was the quintessential lazy American. Give me a pill to solve my problems and I'm happy.
I only became aware that there might be a problem when I couldn't remember anything about a movie that I'd seen the previous day. I consulted the internet (oh how quickly Google turns into a clown car of horrors when you have medical questions). I discovered conclusive evidence that long-term use of benzodiazepines affects cognitive abilities, perhaps even permanently. For someone who writes for a living, this was terrifying information.
I knew enough to know that I shouldn't stop taking Xanax cold turkey – previous experiences with antidepressants had taught me the wisdom of tapering off psychiatric medication. I made the decision to decrease my dose over the course of six weeks.
In perhaps the clearest definition of irony, I remember feeling smart and cautious when I came up with this plan.
The anxiety started to come back two days into the taper, but I was mentally prepared for it. I was also prepared for the insomnia: I drank chamomile tea before bedtime and listened to Tibetan chanting on my iPod. By day four I was experiencing cramps and diarrhea. Day six marked the arrival of constipation – perhaps I'd been too vigorous praying for relief from the runs? Meanwhile the anxiety and insomnia became worse.
Rather than consult with a doctor, I decided that the discomfort I was feeling was beneficial in the same way that someone doing a juice fast consents to feeling like shit – the end of the road promised glowing skin and the freedom to feel superior to my friends.
Blinding headaches. Flu-level aches. Electrical shocks that emanated from the top of my skull down my neck.
I endured, but it was getting harder to ignore how the quality of my life was deteriorating. My ears started to ring so loudly it was like I was surrounded by angry cicadas. I developed hallucinations. One night I noticed that any movement of my hands left light trails in their wake (think the movie "TRON"). Another night I thought a train was passing our house, but when I mentioned it to my husband he said he couldn't hear anything before pointing out that we didn't live near train tracks.
I suffered through all of this pain convinced it would end in a couple of weeks. By week four I'd stopped eating and sleeping, and the anxiety was the worst I'd ever experienced in my life. At the time I was at a loss to describe it, but now I give you this: Imagine the terror you'd feel if your life was in imminent danger. Imagine a killer approaching you with a knife or your car flying off the side of a mountain. Now imagine this terror as a viscous substance like honey or tar. It envelops you completely and any attempt to wipe it off merely spreads it to another part of your body. In this way, the terror can never stop or lessen – it simply finds new real estate within the same neighborhood.
I returned to the internet, where I was confronted by videos of people going through Xanax withdrawal whose tremors were so bad it looked like they were having epileptic fits. I read about people experiencing what I was experiencing, but instead of their symptoms diminishing after a few weeks, they continued for months. Sometimes years. As it became apparent that I'd tapered too fast, I tried increasing my dose, but it was too late. My symptoms continued unabated and a new feeling showed up on the scene: hopelessness. I was stuck in unending suffering without any hope of immediate relief.
I was experiencing a kind of spiritual theory of relativity, edging ever closer to a black hole of pain in which I'd be stuck for eternity. What I was going through seemed like the very definition of Hell.
To be surrounded by people who weren't experiencing what I was experiencing only made the suffering worse. My husband was concerned about me, but his anxiety lapped at his feet like the tiny waves of a pond while I was drowning in an angry sea.
This isolation only made me more self-absorbed. I'd stare angrily at my husband while he slept peacefully.
I'd visit withdrawal message boards in the middle of the night. I wish I would die, wrote Dwayne from St. Louis. I don't think I'm going to make it, wrote Alice from Boulder. The saddest thing is I used to complain about my life before this happened, I wrote one night, but now I realize I was living in paradise.
I started to consider suicide. I'd suffered from depression most of my life – I was familiar with thoughts of ending my life, but religious guilt had always kept them at bay. The suicidal feelings that showed up during my withdrawal were something entirely different than the fleeting thoughts of my youth. They were disheveled and emaciated and hysterical.
Do it, they said. You won't survive another five minutes of this pain, let alone a year.
What about God? I asked.
What about Him? these thoughts said. Do you honestly think there's a God who would allow you to suffer this way? And so what if he sends you to Hell, would it be any worse than what you're going through? There's at least the outside chance that he'll have mercy on you.
This dialogue continued while I drove along the freeway toward an interchange where there'd been construction for nearly a year. The temporary lanes had always been confusing and presented an ideal situation – I could drive my car into the cement dividers without hurting anyone or raising any suspicion. The construction crews were gone for the day. My husband and family would blame my death on driver error.
As I opened myself up to the possibility of ending my life, I felt a flash of relief – a solution existed that was going to end my suffering. With the interchange less than a mile away I took a deep breath and pressed down on the accelerator.
I imagined my husband's grief. I imagined my brother, whose wife and daughter had died in 1998. Another tragedy would destroy him. I imagined my mother, who had prepared for my imminent death after I was diagnosed with HIV in 1985 – what would be her reaction? Would she turn against God for snatching me away after finally letting her believe that I wasn't going to die of AIDS?
I wish I could tell you why I continued driving past the interchange. After I got home I called my brother in Colorado – he'd just finished nursing school – and told him how close I'd come to ending my life. He took the next flight to Long Beach. In the morning he drove me to an addiction specialist who specialized in benzodiazepine withdrawal. This doctor was expensive and not covered by insurance, but my husband and I used our credit card to pay for his help weaning me off Xanax. We're still paying off this debt.
If I were doing the Hollywood movie version of this story, I'd give you an inspiring montage of my yearlong road to recovery. The reality, however, was boring and often demoralizing.
Nurses calling me into examining rooms by an assigned number and not my name. Buying pricey homeopathic remedies, like sour cherry extract, that did nothing to help my progress. Because I was so focused on my symptoms, I discovered for the first time in my life the true meaning of loneliness. And yet, reaching out often proved frustrating. My friends and family grew weary of my complaints and I don't blame them one bit. At one point the addiction specialist tried to start a support group, but his patients could find no strength in each other – to be gathered in one place freaked us out, like a magnifying glass increasing the focus on our pain.
It was slow going, but eventually I recovered. Every once in a while I'd find myself experiencing a long-forgotten emotion, such as enthusiasm or humor. I documented these fleeting sensations in my recovery journal – my doctor encouraged me to highlight these moments with a yellow marker, so when I flipped through the pages I'd see visual proof that I was getting better.
When I flip through the pages now I only see evidence of the paradox of life. Sometimes we experience suffering that takes us to the edge of the abyss. Sometimes we experience strength and healing. None of it makes any sense.

Harvesting is a wonderful and exciting experience. Finally the time has come that all your creativity, love, hard work and courage will be rewarded. There are different methods of harvesting your plants. The method you can apply best depends on the number of plants you have, the size of your plants and your personal preference.
Trimming space
Before you start trimming, you need a space to trim plants in. Look for a room that is well ventilated because the plants emit a strong odour. You'll probably like the smell and be accustomed to it soon, but do not underestimate its strength. If your growing space is large enough, you can harvest there while continually letting a fan blow. An extraction system with a carbon filter also diminishes the odour during the harvest.
Trimming wet
The most common method is to trim the buds wet. In this method you trim the plants one by one. My preference is for this method because you can trim the plant nicely. Take a full-grown plant, cut off the branches one by one and remove the leaves around the buds. You can remove the leaves earlier on as well. The advantage of this is that you can divide the work and that the lower buds get more light, making them grow bigger. These leaves contain a lot of THC. You can save them to make hash or ice hash. Try to remove the leaves with less THC crystals to improve the final quality of your hash. By trimming the plants wet, you can trim them shorter and more cleanly than when the buds are dry. The buds will look their best. The first time might be uncomfortable, because you will try to find out which is the best way. But soon you will find a technique that works the best and the fastest for you. Trimming in itself is not hard but a good technique delivers the best final results. Women hands are slightly better for trimming than man hands. Because they are often smaller, they can work more sophisticatedly.
Suzy's tip:
Invest in a good trimmer! Don't buy just any trimmer. Try a couple of trimmers before you actually start trimming. Trimmers exist in various types and sizes, so you can test which one you prefer. Bad trimmers dull quickly. Also, the hinge might break if it is jammed by too much sticky THC. Use a product to remove the sticky hairs and always keep spare trimmers.
Trimming dry
For this technique you let the plant dry out before you start trimming it. The branches are cut and hung up. This method takes a bit more time than trimming wet. It is usually applied when the weed is grown outdoors, when there are a lot of plants and when time is limited. Dried buds are harder to trim and give a less neat result. More THC is lost because it is less sticky if the plant is dry. This is only relative, because there will still be a large amount of THC left on the buds as well as the leaves.
It is important to dry the buds well. It would be a shame if after all these months of work, your buds would become mouldy. The ideal space for drying buds is a cool and dark room with a temperature of around 15 to 22 °C. You don't have to heat the room because the buds have to dry slowly in order to achieve an optimal effect. Make sure that the air is circulating well to avoid moulding of the buds. Don't stack them onto each other, but put them next to each other with some space in between.
Suzy's Tip:
Purchase a special drying rack, so the buds dry optimally.
The duration of drying depends on the size of the buds. After only one week, the small buds will be dry, but the medium to large buds will need two weeks. If you have really big buds, it can take even a couple of days longer. You can choose to dry the big buds in a whole or you can take them apart, because a big bud consists of various smaller buds that have grown to each other. You can see if the buds have dried sufficiently by trying to break a twig of a large bud. If it breaks easily the bud is dry enough.
Suzy's Tip:
Be patient!!!
Storage and maturing
If the buds are dry enough you can smoke them. They have not reached their best but they are already good enough. If you want to get the best out of them, you have to let them mature. First you have to store the buds properly. To maintain the quality you have to store the buds in a cool, dark space. Put the buds in a light-tight plastic container or glass beaker. Light affects THC, so make sure no light can reach the buds.
Beware: If you store wet buds with dry buds, the dry buds will become moist again. You have to let the buds mature two weeks, making it a total of one month since the harvest. Thanks to the maturing process the buds will taste better and give a better high. After a month, the taste will have reached its best, although some strains need more time.
Time to smoke!
The time has come! You grew your own cannabis! Now you not only have a good stash of smoking material, but you can also make kief, hash, hash oil or ice hash from it. You can read all about this on our website. Enjoy!

Justin who?
Ain't nobody got time to think about ex-boyfriends when you're busy soaking up the sun's rays in beautiful St. Tropez with famous friends and an especially cute new guy. Selena Gomez was spotted getting wet and wild for her 22nd b-day celebration in southeastern France, and during her getaway, the "Come and Get It" crooner was also seen getting cozy to a hunky stud that we have not seen with the brunette beauty before.
E! News learns Selena's mystery guy is Tommaso (or Tommy) Chiabra. The two were photographed flashing ear-to-ear smiles as they jet-skiied together, with Selena holding on tight to Chiabra as he steered.
New couple alert?! (We can only hope! Sorry, Jelena fans, but it's time to move on.)

Upland Farm: A horse lovers' paradise
By Lynda Jensen
Upscale horse lovers don't need to look far if they are interested in building a house in a residential development that caters to equestrian living.
Upland Farm, the first of its kind in the state, is an upscale residential development that offers equestrian membership and shared facilities, located north of Highway 7 near St. Bonifacious.
It contains a state-of-the-art equestrian center and full-time professional stable manager, both of which are paid for by monthly homeowners' fees, said Jim Stuebner of Upland Farm.
Two lots have been sold, with a total of 13 home sites located in the development, he said.
homeowners share ownership of 171 acres of beautiful rolling hills, trails, and wood lots; encircled by white picket fencing, and located on the original Manor House, built in 1880, he said.
Homeowners are given two deeded stalls in the stable at the equestrian center, which is 25,000 square feet.
Lot prices include 1/13th ownership in a homeowner's association, which owns the equestrian center.
In addition to common grounds, homeowners own one boat access each at Six Mile Creek, leads to nearby Lake Minnetonka.
Potential homeowners should remember to bring their wallets the lots sell for $500,000, on average, not counting construction of a new house in the six-figure range.
A custom model home is on display at the development, for an asking price of $ 1.2 million.
The luxurious 5,500 square foot home offers a two-story walkout, as well as three-mile panoramic country views.
A sample of features of the model home include:
· four bathrooms and five bedrooms
· custom cabinetry throughout, kitchen, family room, bathrooms with custom vanities and drawer stacks, mud room, custom fireplace mantels, and three built-in bedroom desks.
· solid birch crown dentil moulding in the dining room, living room, powder room and study
· ceiling panel mouldings in the living room, dining room and master bedroom
· fogged smooth ceiling finishes
· front and back stairs with custom maple and birch
· two-story family room with custom stair parts window enhancing the country view
· Two-sided gas fireplace with brick veneer and custom mantle
· gas fireplace in the living room with marble surround and custom mantle
· two furnaces, two central air conditioning units, two humidifiers (8 zones)
· 9-foot poured foundation walls with "Watchdog" waterproofing system and interior and exterior drain-tile system
· 300-amp electric service with home run coaxial TV, home run Cat V phone wiring, security system, recessed lighting throughout
The enclosed indoor arena, located at the equestrian center, is also designed for upscale enjoyment, being insulated and energy efficient.
Horse stalls are designed as Bar "M." Stall walls are constructed of southern yellow pine.
There are wash stalls, as well as lounges and viewing rooms for relaxed viewing of riding activities.
Those interessted may see a virtual tour of the facilities online at www.uplandfarm.com.

This mid-century modern house is currently for sale in Denver, Colorado. And it is a lovely mid-century specimen. But needs some tender love & care on the inside.
It sort of reminds me of a school built in the 1960's… or my former obstetrician's office. Not that said office brings back any fond memories (I was deathly ill the entire nine months!)… but I did spend many hours in the waiting room admiring the mid-century architecture of the place.
Have a look at the interior:
Spacious and even cavernous without any furniture, but I do love that brick wall with the fireplace and those wood beams (but NOT the fake wood paneling on the ceiling)!
Here's another HUGE room:
The large windows are amazing and so very mid-century.
I'm very puzzled, though, by what is on the floor…
Is that… poured and dyed concrete? Vinyl tiles? Linoleum? Peel and stick? Other?
It's an even lighter color in this room:
The dining room area is just off the kitchen…
That funky light-fixture (above) might be worth saving.
The most impressive feature of this house is definitely the expansive windows… and the green, lush yard that they so nicely frame.
Back inside, the kitchen does not appear to have been updated (much) and doesn't really have that cute vintage feel, just kinda blah:
(Notice the faux-wood accordion folding door? I had that same type of door on my closet in the 1980's!)
Overall though, I love this space and I think it has excellent potential. "Good, solid bones", as they say in real estate.
The first thing I would do if I bought this place, would be to replace the flooring with some warm (real) wood floors. Perhaps there are actually wood floors under all that… stuff.
In any case, the light and architecture make this place a "diamond-in-the-rough" awaiting new owners that will give it the love that it deserves.
For more info see the complete listing at Milehimodern.com.
ps…. I read the listing write-up more carefully, and it states that the flooring is "cork"!

Chapter 606: Eighth Anima!
As soon as Meng Hao spoke the words, a roaring filled his head. His body shook, and the air around him twisted and filled with fissures. Everything dimmed, and an invisible whirlpool instantly sprang up around him. As it rotated, it gave rise to an enormous hurricane.
As soon as the illusory whip snapped onto the hurricane vortex, it whipped backward. Down beneath the vortex, all of the sand and dirt floated up into the air and began to sweep around. As for Patriarch Huyan, his face thoroughly fell, and he staggered out of control several paces backward.
His eyes were filled with astonishment and shock, and his mind was reeling.
"Impossible! This magical technique has Seven Animas. How could… an Eighth Anima appear!?!?"
Even as Patriarch Huyan reeled with shocked, Meng Hao's body was seemingly filled with distortions. Intense, pulsing pain overwhelmed him. He had never imagined that the Eighth Anima would be… so painful!
His body felt as if it were being ripped apart. Wave after wave of power surged through him at indescribable speed, rapidly increasing in intensity.
His eight Nascent Souls were fully superimposed, and now burst forth with a power that vastly exceeded the terrifying Cultivation base power of the Seventh Anima.
In the Seventh Anima just now, Meng Hao had unleashed the power of 64 great circle Nascent Souls. That had been the previous limit, something that couldn't be exceeded. But now, even as the combination had just fused, that previous limitation was completely toppled.
65, 66…. In the blink of an eye, Meng Hao's body possessed the power of 70 boundless great circle Nascent Soul Cultivation bases. That power continued to grow. The feeling of intense power, as well as a terrifying aura, spread out through Meng Hao. As his Cultivation base and fleshly body continued to transform, the power exploded out.
Everything around him was twisted and distorted. The wind and clouds were in fluctuation, and the hurricane that surrounded Meng Hao seemed to stretch from the ground up into the sky. Endless booms echoed out, exploding with incredible intensity.
He trembled, and blood began to seep out of his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. His visage was ferocious to the extreme, and his long hair whipped about madly. He could clearly sense his Cultivation base climbing upward. In the blink of an eye it had the power of 93 great circle Nascent Souls.
And it was still climbing!
Every level of power which was added caused booming sounds to fill him, and more pressure would weigh down on him. The energy which he could employ was even more shocking. At the same time, the wastage to his longevity increased rapidly.
However, none of that could do anything to supersede the wildly intense rise he was experiencing. It gave him an incredible confidence which caused him to lift his head up and roar.
The sound of it seemed to cause all of the pain that wracked him to be diffused out into the Demon Immortal Sect. As his body trembled, his Cultivation base rose up from the previous level of 93 great circle Nascent Souls to… 99.
The color of Meng Hao's hair began to change. It was no longer black, but now gray. His facial features were no longer that of a youth, but rather, ancient. His stature was tall and thin as before, but his aura was now completely different.
99, 100!
The full power of one hundred great circle Nascent Souls Cultivation bases exploded out within him. As Meng Hao roared, his hair grew longer and longer, soon reaching his lower back. The tempest around him grew in intensity, causing Meng Hao to slowly float up within the midst of the hurricane.
Lightning and thunder fell down to circulate around him, causing the hurricane to turn into a lightning storm, shocking to Heaven and Earth.
The sight of it caused Patriarch Huyan to pant rapidly. His eyes went wide and filled with a look of disbelief. His mind filled with roaring.
"How could this be…? He… he…."
In the midst of Patriarch Huyan's astonishment, more roaring exploded out from Meng Hao as his Cultivation base rose again!
101, 102, 103… all the way to 115!
Meng Hao's hair now stretched to his knees as his shocking roar echoed about in all directions. The tempest around him continued to expand until it was three hundred meters wide. It was at this point that the Heavenly expulsion force suddenly appeared.
The air around Meng Hao was continuously shattered. The fearsome aura surrounding him continued to rise up, almost as if some primordial wild beast was awakening.
116, 117…. In the blink of an eye, the power of 128 great circle Nascent Soul Cultivation bases exploded up. His roar was now the roar of Spirit Severing.
His power was that of Spirit Severing!
The aura around him was now an aura of Spirit Severing!!
The tempest was now nearly a thousand meters wide. Lightning had transformed the area into a sea of electricity. His hair was longer and his frame taller. His gray hair floated about, and his visage was one of ancientness. His eyes suddenly focused, and within them seemed to circulate a power to exterminate life.
As soon as Patriarch Huyan saw those eyes, his mind trembled, almost as if he had just been subjected to a powerful attack. His body began to shake, and he fell back several paces, blood spewing from his mouth. Within the astonishment on his face could now be seen a trace of dread.
"You…." he said hoarsely, his body shaking.
"I'm not finished yet," said Meng Hao, whose eyes were still closed as he experienced the shocking Cultivation base power of 128 great circle Nascent Souls. This power far exceeded the absolute pinnacle of the Nascent Soul stage. This was… the power of Spirit Severing!!
It was a situation in which quantity changed into quality. With enough Nascent Soul Cultivation base built up, he was able to leap into a realm that was previously only occupied by true Spirit Severing.
However, even as Meng Hao had said, his Eighth Anima wasn't finished yet. Just now, his growth had been in Cultivation base only. His fleshly body was still growing, rapidly flying toward a true Spirit Severing fleshly body.
Fleshly body Spirit severing was a stage for ancient Cultivators. In modern times, there were few people who could temper their body to the stage of Spirit Severing. In fact, you could say that it was virtually impossible, the difficulty level being just too high.
For Meng Hao, it was only by a series of lucky coincidences that he could reach this legendary stage. As of this moment, his fleshly body appeared to be normal, but in actuality, every strand of muscle was being shredded. Every inch of bone was being crushed. Every vein and artery was collapsing.
However, no matter how they were shredded, crushed, or collapsed, it didn't cause any problems for Meng Hao. In fact, all of that destruction caused his body to reform, making his Qi and blood reach astonishing levels!!
Within the space of time of a few breaths, the thumping of a heartbeat could be heard, like thunder rattling out in all directions. It caused Patriarch Huyan to stop and look at Meng Hao. As of this moment, it appeared as if there were a shocking Qi and blood fighting back against the natural law of Heaven and Earth!
Qi and blood exploded up shockingly!!
As of this moment, every beat of Meng Hao's heart caused the tempest around him to pause, caused the air to vibrate, caused the land in the area to quake.
Along with his Qi and blood, his body broke through some invisible barrier. As he truly entered the Spirit Severing stage, Meng Hao's Spirit Severing aura exploded into the sky!
He took a deep breath as he realized that his view of the world was now completely different.
He could see innumerable dust motes dancing about in the air. He could hear countless sounds around him in the world, like the whisperings of innumerable deceased souls. He could feel all of the indescribable sorrow that filled the Demon Immortal Sect.
Most importantly… he could hear the sound… of breathing.
It was the breathing of something asleep, coming from deep, deep within the ground. It was faint, as if there were some enormous creature far beneath the surface of the earth, sleeping. Every breath it took echoed about.
All of these things take quite a long time to describe. However, it was a very short period of time from the moment in which Meng Hao entered the Eighth Anima until he could sense everything.
128 great circle Nascent Souls pushed Meng Hao's Cultivation base into a state which could be considered the world of Spirit Severing!
Because of the endless good fortune that had tempered his fleshly body, now that he had entered the Eighth Anima, his body truly had reached the legendary… Fleshly Sanctification. Figuratively speaking, that sanctification was none other than the Spirit Severing of his body!
"I am not in the Spirit Severing stage," he murmured. "But I possess the power of Spirit Severing." His power now vastly exceeded that which he had experienced before, when he had merged with the mastiff.
"Now, the time has come to have a little test. Let's see… exactly how powerful I am!" With that, his eyes began to glow with a cold light. He glanced at Patriarch Huyan, whose mind began to tremble. At that point, Meng Hao vanished.
Patriarch Huyan's scalp numbed, and he was scared witless. He retreated rapidly, waving his arm to cause the whip to flail about in all directions. However, it was at this point that a reflection appeared in his pupils as Meng Hao appeared directly in front of him.
Meng Hao's left hand lifted up, forming a claw that snatched ahold of the whip. The whip let out a whimpering sound, but could not extricate itself.
"You… are too weak," said Meng Hao, his voice cool. He lifted his right hand up and tapped down lightly on Patriarch Huyan's forehead.
Patriarch Huyan's body trembled as he was suddenly lifted up into the air and soared in the direction of the forbidden zone. Before he even began to fall to the ground, his head directly exploded. Blood and gore formed a haze that spread to his chest, and then his limbs, and finally his entire torso.
All of that was accomplished by a mere tap from Meng Hao in his Eighth Anima. Patriarch Huyan was ripped into shreds before he could even scream, and his fleshly body was completely destroyed.
His half-transparent Nascent Divinity fled out, a large hole visible on its forehead. Life force and aura trickled out of the hole, beyond its control. It was incredibly weak as it retreated backward. Its death was only a matter of time; within the space of ten breaths, it would certainly perish!
It was with astonishment and indescribable fear and despair that the Nascent Divinity let out a miserable scream. Although it knew fleeing was useless, it still attempted to run away.
However, it was in this moment that, from within the forbidden zone, what appeared to be a consummately beautiful jade-like hand suddenly reached out with incredible dexterity. The delicate hand stretched out through the air…
To grab ahold of Patriarch Huyan's Nascent Divinity.
"My Cultivation base suffered damage. With this Nascent Divinity, I can concoct some pills to help with that. Do you mind?" A woman walked out from within the forbidden zone. She had Zhixiang's voice, but her appearance was nothing like the woman Meng Hao remembered from before.
She was as pretty as a flower, bewitchingly charming, matchlessly beautiful, unrivaled in elegance and demeanor. She… was the new Demoness Zhixiang!Previous Chapter Next Chapter

In Matthew 18:21-25 Jesus tells a parable about an unmerciful servant. In the parable, the servant owes a large sum of money to his master and cannot pay it back.* After begging his master not to sell his family into slavey in order to recover the money he is owed, the master chooses to cancel the debt of this servant and let him go. However, as soon as the servant departs, he finds another man who owes him money and has this man thrown into jail when he cannot repay the debt. But then along comes the master, who is livid with his servant for not extending the same mercy that he received from the master. The master then hands over his servant to be "tortured" in jail until he pays his debt back in full.
After telling this parable, Jesus says in v. 35, "This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart."
Forgiving Others
The parable is a response to Peter's question regarding how many times he should forgive another person who sins against him. That, of course, draws a response from Jesus saying, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times." The entire direction of this conversation has come about because Jesus told a parable about the Father's happiness in leaving the ninety-nine sheep to find the one lost sheep and then some instructions for dealing with sins (Matt 18:10-20).
What we encounter first is the expansive nature of the grace and mercy that God extends. When Jesus begins the parable of the unmerciful servant, he says, "The kingdom of heaven is like…" as he begins telling about this master who forgave a great debt out of sheer grace and mercy. Jesus begins the parable that way because this is really how God forgives and what God expects of us. That's why God is more concerned with the one lost sheep and why Jesus provides instruction about dealing with sin as well as how many times we should forgive others.
On one hand, as already stated, the passage implicitly speaks to the expansive nature of God's grace and mercy. Sometimes we might wonder if God would ever forgiven us of our sins. The answer is a resounding "Yes! God does and already has forgiven us!" That, however, is the basis for the explicit point of the passage which is the fact that we must forgive as God forgives us.
But What If…
It's one thing to talk about forgiveness and it's another to do it. The challenge will always be actually embodying our doctrine of God's grace. In particular, will we forgive others as much as God forgives us?
Over the last two and a half years, one theme I have heard over and over is how much of a healing community our church has been and I believe we are because I've seen it. We are striving to be as we say, "a family of grace in Columbia." Yet a big part of what makes a church a place of healing, where the grace and mercy of God is palpable, is the willingness to forgive others as God forgives us. Whether it is the one lost sheep or the fellow Christian who sins against us, we must always forgive.
God's desire for us to forgive others is not contingent on whether or not such forgiveness is deserved because it never is. We are to forgive others because God forgives us. That inevitably raises an objection from someone suggesting that forgive others might result in being taken advantage of by someone else. That's a good point because at some point along the way that will likely happen to us… Just like it happened to Jesus even to the point of death on the cross so that we might be forgiven of our sins. But I never hear anyone objecting to that. So let us not raise objections instead raise our practice of grace and mercy as we forgive others.
How wonderful it is to know we are forgiven!

Verla Mikkelsen Marx, who turned 102 on October 19, 2016, returned home to Heavenly Father early on Monday, February 27, 2017.
Verla was the tenth child of Mickel Anton and Mary Ann Jensen Mikkelsen of Fountain Green, UT.
She was married to Wesley Phillip Marx (deceased August 17, 1970) on July 27, 1933, in Manti, UT. Their marriage was solemnized in the Manti Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints April 14, 1964.
Verla served her Heavenly Father in many capacities in the Church—as a teacher and president of the Primary, Relief Society, and Young Women's organizations. She served a mission in Beloit, WI, in the 1970s.
She was employed by the Moroni Turkey plant for several years after the death of her husband. A few years later, she worked as head cook at the Sanpete Valley Hospital in Mt Pleasant, where her excellent meals were a treat not only to the patients, but also to the doctors.
Verla is survived by her five children, 19 grandchildren, 65 great-grandchildren, and five great-great-grandchildren.
Her children are Anna La Raine (J. Whitney) Redd of Monticello, UT; Gordon Wesley (Loretta Mae Smith) Marx of Yakima, WA; Helen Irene Sorensen of Brenda, AZ; Farrel Eugene (Elizabeth Albarado) Marx, and Robert Andy ("Kay" Fredricksen) Marx, all of Mount Pleasant, UT.
Funeral Services were held Saturday, March 4 in the Mt Pleasant Second-Third Ward Chapel.

The suburbs are an awkward hinterland, an extremely modern urban sprawl half-way between a ghetto and a greenhouse.
It's a fluid space, one within view of the grandeur of the city but too far away to really exploit it. With the character formed amidst the rapid growth of the post-war era, the suburbs are perhaps where England is at its most English.
The Bohicas naturally, hail from the suburbs. Formed in the hinterlands between East London and Essex, the group introduced them earlier this year via Domino Records backed double A-side single 'XXX' b/w 'Swarm'.
Fusing a motorik beat with jagged, Mary Chain style guitars, it was an uncompromising introduction from a group who deft categorisation. Able to grow up without the pressure of conforming to a specific scene, The Bohicas are able to pick and choose as they please, plundering rock's heritage to form their own identity.
Moshi Moshi signing Boxed In has dropped past on remix duties, impacting a real sense of Englishness onto proceedings. 'XXX' is transformed from a raw, ragged piece of indie rock into a bleeping, Kraftwerk inspired journey up a trunk rock and to the coast of Great Yarmouth.
Tracing out the journey of the A12, Boxed In's re-work is a cute homage to the Brutalist architecture, the endless Little Chefs which dot the endlessly intricate road journeys of Southern England.
Check it out below.
The new issue of Clash magazine is out right now. It's always on the money with breakthrough acts worth listening to. So, go and see.

Nix Nada in.......Nix pics!
The scene : an underground bunker, somewhere in the tropical jungles of the Amazon. Doktor Destucto and his evil assistant Memphis Slim, a failed and very bitter blues guitarist, are deep in conversation.
DD (wheezily) Ha ha ha ha! My evil masterplan is almost complete!
MS (Peter Lorre) Yeessss, yeeesssss, hihihihihihihihihi!
DD With complete control over the photographic industry, I can manipulate people's pictures to look how I want them to! The fashion industry will crumble! Marketing methods will fail as their attractive graphics become meaningless splodges of grey!
MS Hihhihihiiiiihhiiiiiiihahhhahaaa!
DD The entire world will be plunged into recession, INDUSTRIAL COLLAPSE! CHAOS!
MS Yessssss, yesss!
DD And I, Doktor Destructo, the most unphotogenic man in history, will HAVE MY REVENGE UPON THEM!
DD I have cowered long enough, waiting outside bus depots for my passport photgraphs, only to discover the hideous surprise in store when I receive them! VENGEANCE IS MINE!
MS Yesss....yessss.......BUT WAIT!
DD WHAT IS IT, you bumbling fool!
MS What about Nix Nada!
DD Nix Nada......hmmmm......even Nix Nada cannot stop me!
And so the evil Doktor Destructo puts his cunning plan into effect. Soon, the advertising industry begins to see its results.....
BAE (Boring advertising executive) Let's see the new samples on the Jones account.....OH MY GOD! They're completely BLANK!
ABAE (another boring advertising executive...you get the idea) JEZ, YOU'RE right! What are we gonna do!

All WHAT!
Boss That's right! And we're starting up a company charity scheme right now to make up for all our past manipulation of the faceless masses. Mankind deserves better, and it took NIX NADA to point it out!
Back in the jungle:

If you've ever moved you know just how many companies you must call to switch things over; Cable, utilities, change of address, possible street parking permit and the hundreds — okay, maybe only a few — bills that must now be rerouted to your new home.
For me moving is always stressful. It's never fun and it's always hot.
Shlepping dorm room belongings between residence halls and storage units during May and August in Tampa, FL was not the most glamorous of times. Fast forward to Boston where the dreaded September 1st move-in date annually leaves the city streets looking more like an abandoned flea market than a bustling young professional neighborhood.
Like I said, moving sucks.
And amongst the unpacked boxes and feelings of unsettledness, the overwhelming amount of phone calls still loom. Customer service experiences on the horizon, buckle up.
So when I rang Comcast to chat about switching my cable from my old abode to my new digs, I was pleasantly surprised when a jolly voice came across the line. Hello, Kevin.
At this point in my moving process I had spoken to nearly 10 customer service peeps. Ranging from automated systems to cranky overseas individuals, chatting with Kevin was a breath of fresh air.
Perhaps it was my newly single mentality or vulnerable mid-move state, but Kevin was kind and spent so much time explaining each step of the process to me. Lowering my monthly rate and making my life easier, it lead me to think … what if all customer service reps were this simple to speak with?
Sure, sure, Comcast wants you to spend money on their services … so OF course they're going to shower you with love and affection over the phone. Geez, I'm shocked Kevin didn't propose over the phone if I committed to HBO and Showtime. However, there have been many a times where this has not been the case (not with Comcast, but others who's products or services I've purchased).
So here in lies the lesson. No matter who you're speaking with, be kind, be helpful and be patient.
This convo with Kevin from Comcast was 4 weeks ago. Clearly it left reality TV-filled imprint on my heart.
Be present, kiddos, you never know who's on the other end of that phone. You could be making quite a positive mark on that person's day.
Oh, and hey, Kevin … call me.
Joking, people. But really, have you ever had an unexpected and positive experience like this?

A widowed priest is troubled by lack of faith. The history centers around his relationship with a schoolteacher, who loves him but whom he can not love back and his bonds to a god he isn't sure he believes in. He tries to find a meaning with love and faith again, discussing his predicament both with those that has a lot of faith and those that might have lost it, in a cold winter landscape.

Ingmar Bergman's Winter Light is a part of a trilogy of his whichincludes The Silence, and Through a Glass Darkly. However I believe that this middle section is his bleakest. On the surface, this film is about how a preacher loses faith in god and no longer believes in that he preaches to his parish.
This film although it is one of Bergman's shortest films (at only 81 minutes!) The duration of the story is only over a three hour period of time. Tomas Ericsson starts of his Sunday service like any other, but then afterword, a troubled fisherman comes in and asks the father for help... Tomas's advice is to no avail. This sends Tomas into a spiraling depression.
The key in to this film's tone lies in its use of light. The light in this film was meticulously studied by Sven Nykvist and Bergman himself for a span of multiple days. They wanted to measure when and where natural light casts a shadow in the shot. By using just the northern, Icelandic light, this gives the film a naturally mournful tone, one that I believe, could not be artificially done.
Bergman wanted to show that the preacher endured the same time ofmisery that Christ did on the cross. This is the core of the suffering of man. In spite of all the atrocities committed, god still stays silent, or as Richard Dawkins might call god, "The Blind Watchmaker".
No one has all the answers, I believe that regardless of the preist's lack of empathy towards the fisherman, that even if he did answer something, the fisherman, would have already been in the proper mindset to kill himself.
Also one of the struggles Tomas deals with is the love he use to have for a school teacher, and the love he still has for his former (dead) wife. However the incredible performance by Ingrid Thulin as Karin, confuses Tomas. He doesn't know if he can accept loving her because that would ultimately mean leaving his post as preacher.
Winter Light is a dark, and deeply profound view on how man relates (or doesn't relate) to god. It is beautifully shot in black and white, and in spite of its otherwise slow pace, it is a very impacting film.
It should also be noted, that this is what Bergman believed to be his favorite of the films he made.

Burnaway Event
September 7th, 2012 by Georgios
I created this illustration for the Burnaway Fundraiser Event this Saturday the 8th from 7-11 at the Granite Room in Castleberry Hill. They've asked artists, writers, performers, and designers to explore the theme of Atlanta's ongoing cycles and history of building, destruction, rebuilding, renewing, and expanding–from Sherman's march to the sea to pre-Olympics urban renewal, from our short memories of the past to our long-running myths of the future–and what the city has lost and gained through these cycles.
I've always thought that Atlanta needed a giant monster. New York has King Kong and Tokyo has Godzilla and now Atlanta or in this case #ATLantis has the Kracken.

Day to remember for OBE recipient at Buckingham Palace
March 19, 2018
A leading figure in the work-based learning sector in Wales has spoken about the "awe-inspiring" experience of receiving an OBE from Prince William at Buckingham Palace earlier this month.
Arwyn Watkins, managing director of Cambrian Training Company based in Welshpool, described the ceremony as a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" which he'll never forget.
"You are made to feel really special and you meet some incredible people which makes you question why you are there," said Mr Watkins, who was awarded an OBE in the New Year's Honours list for his services to education and training in Wales.
"Recipients from all corners of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth were recognised for a range of achievements, from education, environmental, mountain rescue, cycling and nursing, including services to mental health. It was a brilliant day that just flew by."
During his brief conversation with Mr Watkins, the Duke of Cambridge spoke about the Cambrian Mountains in the Heart of Wales, how much he had enjoyed being based in Wales as a Search and Rescue helicopter pilot and the importance of apprenticeships.
Mr Watkins was joined at the ceremony by his wife, Vicky and sons, Cai and Zac. From Buckingham Palace, they travelled to the House of Lords for lunch with his mentor Lord Ted Rowlands, former president of the National Training Federation for Wales.
Mr Watkins said the OBE recognised the important contribution that the independent training sector made to the daily lives of people living and working in Wales. He thanked Cambrian Training Company and his family for their full support.
He joined Cambrian Training Company nearly 20 years ago and is a former chairman and chief executive of the National Training Federation for Wales where he worked in partnership with Welsh Government and the network to shape the successful work-based learning programmes delivered in Wales today.
He is a board member of the Regional Learning and Skills Partnership for West and Mid Wales, a trustee of the British Food Trust, president of the Culinary Association of Wales and a member of the WorldChefs' Feed the Planet and Sustainability Committee.
A farmer's son from Llanwrtyd Wells, he left Builth Wells High School to join the Army as an apprentice chef and has maintained his commitment to apprenticeship programmes ever since.
On leaving the Army, he joined the Merchant Navy, working for Stena Line and became a catering college lecturer in Kent before returning to Mid Wales to join Cambrian Training Company in 1998.
The company has enjoyed considerable growth under his leadership, winning the Apprenticeship Provider of the Year at the 2007 and 2012 Apprenticeship Awards Cymru together with a series of other accolades. The company now employs more than 120 staff and sub-contractors.
Culinary skills are one of his main passions and he coached the Junior Welsh Culinary Team to a Culinary Olympics gold medal in 2004. As a member of the Applied Ability Awards National Committee, he was instrumental in running pilot programmes in Wales leading to ground-breaking craft-led Apprenticeship Frameworks for chefs.
Earlier this year, he headed up a team that attracted the WorldChefs' European conference to the Celtic Manor Resort, Newport. He is now involved in a team bidding to host the WorldChefs Congress at the Wales International Convention Centre at the Celtic Manor Resort in 2024.
Away from work, Mr Watkins has made his home in Llanfair Caereinion and is president of his local rugby club, Cobra RFC.

Orient automatic dive watch
Stunning Look and Exceptionally Designed Orient Blue Mako Mens Watch
Although it is a diver's watch, the dazzling blue color of the watch dial just stands out and makes it a classy accessory that goes equally well with dressy attire.
The dazzling blue dial of the Orient Blue Mako has everything to do with its stunning looks. It is basically a simple three hands dive watch that also shows the day and date at the 3 o'clock position. The 41mm case is neither too big nor too small – just the right size. It sports a matching dark blue unidirectional bezel with a coin-like edge. The hour and minute hands are in the shape of a sword while the seconds hand has a red colored tip that stands out among the white markers and stunning blue dial.
An exceptionally designed Blue Mako Mens' watch is made of a tough, polished stainless steel case material while the face is covered with a mineral crystal. This, we admit is not the toughest, scratch proof material for a dive watch expected to be subjected to rough use. But then, the Orient Blue Mako looks more like a dress watch, although it is water resistant up to 200m depth.
Fluorescent paint adorns the markers and the hands. While this may work great in bright light, the luminescence does not last very long at night. A visually attractive striking blue dial with white markers and hands give a great deal of clarity to the Orient Blue Mako Mens watch, without being overbearing or garish.
An Orient automatic movement powers the Blue Orient mako diver watch. Accurate timekeeping is one of the features of Orient watches and the Blue Mako lives up to the expectation. Orient of Japan makes all the watch movements in-house, enabling them to keep a strict control over the quality of the watch parts. Since it is an automatic watch, all you need do is wear it regularly to keep it charged up for action. However, there is no facility for winding the watch should it stop working. But, if you simply move your wrist, the watch will begin working to show the correct time.
Stunning looks and an exceptional design are carried forward to the bracelet of the Orient Blue Mako Mens watch. The bracelet and clasp are well made with stainless steel brushed top and bottom with polished edges. It is a sturdy bracelet that can withstand rough use.
However, the best part is that Orient automatic watches isextremely affordable. It is priced below $150 and for the features and stunning looks, we would say it is a highly reasonable price; you certainly get your money's worth. The Orient Blue Mako has companion models which come in orange, black, red and a yellow dial.

Why New York City's first cat cafe is good for your health
Many New Yorkers want to own cats—this one, included. But our busy lifestyles and cramped apartments (and roommates who don't appreciate litter boxes?) don't always allow for it.
The solution to that problem is Meow Parlour, New York City's first permanent cat cafe, which opened Monday on the Lower East Side and has already generated so much excitement that appointments are currently booked through early February.
At Meow Parlour, you can pet and play with adoptable cats as if you were in your own (much larger and furrier) living room. And other than providing a feline fix and endless Instagram opportunities, spending time there can have a meditative and stress-relieving quality to it (as long as you're not allergic, obviously).
"Cats don't stress about yesterday or tomorrow," says co-founder Christina Ha. "They worry about exactly what's going on in the moment, like what toys are in front of them. It's really relaxing to be around that kind of energy."
Ha is also the founder of Macaron Parlour, a patisserie with locations in the East Village and Upper West Side, and she created the cat cafe with Macaron Parlour employee Emilie Legrand, which means you can order pastries like vegan cookies and kitty-faced macarons, in addition to Blue Bottle Coffee and Harney & Sons tea, directly from the Meow Parlour Patisserie next door. (It also means they're probably the trendiest business owners in NYC.)
The cafe is open, bright, and modern, with lots of toys to pique the cats' interest and spaces for them to retreat to if they feel nervous, tired, or annoyed with you. And no, there are no strange cat smells or tuffs of fur balls blowing across the floor.
Since all of the cats are up for adoption (in partnership with Kitty Kind), it doesn't feel weird or like they're being treated like circus animals. In fact, they probably love the attention—even if in true cat nature, they refuse to show it.
You can purchase time with the cats at $4 per half hour or $30 for the maximum five-hour period (yes, five) but it's by appointment only… and remember that thing I said earlier about February?
"When a cat sits on your lap, time just kind of freezes," Ha says. Until you get your spot, you may have to find relief from anxiously anticipating your appointment with an aromatherapy candle. And be forewarned when you do: Stopping by may be a nice substitute for owning a cat, but I left there seriously longing to take sweet, charismatic Liza home with me. —Jamie McKillop

Our current graphics brief is all about self promotion and portfolio assembly. Who knew branding yourself was so hard!? Creating a good enough logo and finding a style to carry yourself with is a big commitment, and as a picky, perfectionist this may take me some time, and a billion rough ideas..
My current portfolio is quite literally a mix of whatever I've given a go (and turned out good)! Typographic posters, digital collages, scarf designs, editorials, etc. I think I need to do more tutorials to learn some new techniques; scary to think that 1 and a half years ago I probably couldn't have drawn a square on Photoshop and hadn't even heard of Illustrator (oops)!
The collage pictured above is when I believe I first cracked Photoshop. Our graphics tutor challenged us to create a collage made from/about anything, so I scanned in a couple of Vogue adverts and editorials and made this portrait! I wasn't aiming to make anyone in particular but doesn't it look a little like Lady Gaga??

Established in 1970, Flower City Printing, Inc. (FCP®) has grown to become one of the biggest graphic service providers in North America. With over 350,000 square feet of production space, and an incredible array of printing and finishing technologies available, FCP® has become the supplier of choice for several Fortune 500 companies. Today FCP® and its affiliates have grown to more than $68,000,000 in annual sales with about 300 employees and regional sales offices across the country. George Scharr is majority owner of FCP® and its parent company, Flower City Group.
Located in Rochester, N.Y., FCP® was founded by Wayne Scheible, his father George Scheible, his uncle Fred Breitung, Timothy Welch, and William Oliveri. The initial concept was to start a small, high quality printing business by targeting consumer oriented manufacturing companies in Upstate New York. The company transitioned from a trade-like shop to a commercial printer in just six months time.
In 1991, when a client needed litho labels printed, the company purchased its first large-format press, a 55" Planeta, which paved its way into the large-format segment.
"Many large-format printers at the time were downsizing to grasp a lot of the technology that was available specifically on 40" and smaller presses, such as automatic make-ready stations," recalls Bill Oliveri. "But our decision gave us a really nice window into the large-format arena."
Large-format printing proved to be the right move. Success in the large-format market, particularly retail, led to the purchase of two 64" presses between 1995 and 1998. To accommodate the additional growth, the company moved its headquarters and manufacturing operations to its present 135,000 square foot location in 1998. Additional expansions have since increased operation size to 375,000 square feet in three locations, on a total of 35 acres of land.
FCP® and its affiliates continue to invest in new space and equipment, adding both offset and flexo presses, plus a variety of peripheral and support assets, including digital asset management systems. All three manufacturing facilities are tied together with an in-house developed scheduling system.
FCP® and its affiliates now serves not just a national audience, but also an international list of customers in Canada, Asia (Thailand, Vietnam, India) and in Central America (Honduras, El Salvador, and the Dominican Republic).
Green Initiatives
All companies operate with various effects to the overall environment. Flower City Printing is no exception. FCP®'s interaction with its vendors, suppliers, and employees – and also from the operation of its internal processes, procedures, and equipment – can have major implications for the environment.
Flower City Printing strives to minimize waste and make responsible decisions when recycling or reuse is not an option. FCP® provides its employees with reasonable options to make environmentally conscious decisions during their workday in an effort to help preserve our planet. An average of 95.5% of our waste is diverted from landfills each month and aim to continue improving this figure!
FCP® has a range of green initiatives in place throughout our facilities:
- FSC®/SFI®/PEFC™ Chain-of-Custody Certifications
- Energy Efficient Lighting in manufacturing and office areas
- An electronic scheduling system that reduces paper use and can make real-time updates to scheduling
- A Solvent Recycling System that recovers 95% of used press wash and reuse and eliminates solvent disposal into the environment
- Paper, boxboard, corrugate, etc. waste is segregated, baled, and sent to a recycling company – we recover and recycle over 200 tons of material monthly!
- Ink Pumping Stations pump process colors directly to our presses from recyclable bladders, eliminating waste from non-recyclable metal ink containers
- Large-format coating blankets are cut down for reuse on smaller presses
