In just three minutes, philosopher Alfred Korzybski demonstrates how everything is an illusion, and will completely change the way you think about language, the mind and reality itself
In the video below, philosopher and mathematician Alfred Korzybski explains how everything is an illusion, and reality is actually an abstraction of the mind. His explanation is quite literally mind blowing.
Korzybski explains that reality works the way a fan does. When a fan is stationary, its blades all appear individual and separate. However, when the fan begins to rotate, the individual blades now appear as a rotating disc. The disc is not an illusion, says Korzybski, but an image abstracted by the senses. In other words, the mind fills in the blanks, leaving us to ponder that everything is an illusion.
When we look at an apple, says Korzybski, we do not see the particles and processes that produce the object. Like the individual fan blades that appear to become a disc, we see instead a solid red piece of fruit that we agree looks like something we call an apple. We create the apple–in Korzybski's words, the apple is "man made."
Alfred Korzybski was the founder of the school of thought known as General Semantics. He argued that humans can never gain direct access to reality because our knowledge of the world is limited by language and the human nervous system. Reality, according to Korzybski, is the result of the brain's responses to stimuli.
General Semantics was of particular influence on Robert Anton Wilson. He was greatly inspired by Korzybski's dictum "The map is not the territory" as well as E-Prime, the practice of removing the verb to be from the English language in order to produce a linguistic system which more accurately represents reality as abstracted by the senses.
Reality is What You Can Get Away With
If everything is an illusion created by language, can you change reality by changing the language you use?
Yes. It's called magick.
Check out our free course on chaos magick to learn how, and start bending the illusion of reality to your will now.

Three Yellowstone National Park Entrances To Close To Motor Vehicle Traffic For 2016-17 Winter Season
Most of the roads inside Yellowstone National Park will soon be no longer accessible to motor vehicle traffic.
The West, South and East entrances to the park, are scheduled to close to motor vehicle traffic on Monday, November 7th, for the 2016-17 winter season.
If there's enough snowfall, the park is scheduled to reopen the West and South entrances to snowmobile traffic on December 15th, and the East entrance on December 22nd.
Only the North and Northeast entrances will remain open to motor vehicle traffic, weather permitting, so that motorists can travel between Gardiner and Cooke City, Montana.
Snowplow crews won't start clearing the closed snow covered highways until around middle-March of 2017, and motor vehicle traffic won't be allowed back into the Park until sometime between middle April and middle May, depending on which entrance to the park is used.

In United States of America, there are basically life insurance and general insurance. General Insurance covers all type of insurance other than life like, car, property, health, liability etc. First we will cover general insurance:
Car Insurance has basically has three components namely, material damage, personal injury and group personal injury per accident. The amount of coverage for each component depends on the ratio stipulated by the states. One has to take the minimum insurance as stated by the state.
Business Insurance also has separate coverage allowances for property damage, liability and people. Property damage covers business property against loss due to fire, vandalism, earthquake etc. You can select the cause based on your risk assessment. Liability coverage is for protection against loss arising out of legal suit filed against you. There is also professional liability coverage for protection against loss due to non performance of contract. For business there is also health insurance plans for the employees and state makes it mandatory for business houses which falls under the state definition required.
Health Insurance is a vital insurance policy in US because of high medical costs. Health insurance policies are available readily but the premium depends on your current health and lifestyle. Health insurance covers all your medical expenses as per the contract agreed upon.
Home Insurance is also a popular insurance policy available for protection against loss or damage to house due to man-made or natural disaster.
The premium for any general insurance depends on the risk assessment done by the insurance company. The insurance companies also offer various insurance clubbed together.
Life insurance laws in US are quite similar to other countries and depend on ones need and personal choice. The premium depends on the risk assessment done by the insurance company based on your health check up and life style.

I am most happy to report that I have a transcription of Professor Tauruscat's letter to the Baron, although only the first page has been found. It does reveal much about the purpose of the helmet, and it was found with several pages of scribbled notes and sketches seemingly related to the design of said helmet. I am now thinking that I might be able to build a reconstruction of this wondrous device, based upon this information.
I present the letter herewith.
Baron Henry Balzerhaught
Oberbayem Castle
München, Upper Bavaria
My dear sir,
It is with some reticence that I take pen to paper in response to your last missive, not because of any reluctance to share with you—my esteemed benefactor—the information that you have requested, but solely due to my awkwardness in putting my thoughts down on paper. I will be forever grateful sir, for your generous monthly allowance, which enables me to spend time doing the research necessary to the pursuit of applying my discoveries to practical knowledge and the constructing of machines and mechanical devices which can be utilized to further your explorations and other adventures.
Specifically, you have asked about my helmet, and I will attempt to provide you with a detailed perspicuous response. I recognized many years ago that my most creative ideas and thoughts came to me while in a state of light sleep. While others are dreaming, I surmised, I was imagining unknown worlds with wondrous machines. But upon awakening I encountered great difficulty in fully recovering all of my thoughts, and this was most frustrating to me. And so I set out to find a way to amplify and clarify my nocturnal and crepuscular visions so as to be able to bring forth those ideas into my waking world.
I did succeed, as I am sure you recognize, in accomplishing my goal, by constructing a leather helmet which contains multiple sensors that read the magnetic impulses of my brainwaves. These are connected to a central processing engine of my own design which I shall not attempt to explain, other than to say that it draws energy from the aether. Upon awakening I am able to fully remember all of my visions and thoughts as if I had experienced them but yesterday.

JUNE 25, 2014 , Guest post by Robert Henson The annual conference CEPIC recently took place in Berlin, where international photo libraries congregate primarily to seek distribution for their images and/or image collections to represent for their clients.

Photography is an act of reduction. Besides the obvious like sound, touch, smell, when we photograph, we take a conscious decision to subtract elements of reality.

Don't Torture a Duckling (1972)
Directed by Lucio Fulci
Starring Florinda Bolkan, Barbara Bouchet, Tomas Milian, Irene Papas, Marc Porel, Vito Passeri
I can still remember when I first got hold of a bootleg copy of this rare (at the time) Fulci film. This was at a time in my career as a horror fan that I only knew Fulci from his gore films such as Zombie, The Beyond, and such. So it was quite a surprise seeing something so different than what I was used to. Plus, it also showed me just how a skilled craftsman Fulci was before he became known for just his gory films. This is a grim tale of a small Italian village where someone is killing young boys. Several people seem suspicious, some are even accused and bad things happen. Fulci shows us a darker side of humanity, while still being able to weave together a great little giallo.

Since it officially launched at leading sports trade show ISPO Munich in February last year, the Wallsall-based firm is on target to achieve £250,000 turnover and has already attracted interest from the ice hockey fraternity in Canada and Scandinavian countries.
Its Safejawz brand mouthguards have received attention from well-known athletes, including England rugby player James Haskell and super middleweight boxer George Groves, and the company has signed a partnership deal with the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation (IMMAF).
The Safejawz range features custom-fit and self-fit mouthguards with designs such as fangs and moustaches. Clients can also design their own guards.
It features Fluid Fit technology and has an ultra-slim profile, which enables the user to clip the guard onto the teeth for a comfortable fit. Its Remodel Tech feature also allows users to have multiple attempts to achieve the best fit.
Currently 75% of its products are already exported, however directors George Dyer and Ewan Jones are putting together strategic plans for further international growth after working with the international trade advisers (ITAs) from the Black Country Exporting is GREAT campaign office.
They have received a range of support including how to improve its eCommerce platform and secure its intellectual property rights.
"We've achieved a lot in under two years but we are in a strong position now to push our brand not just in the UK but all over the world," said George.
"The fact 75% of our business comes from exports demonstrates the global demand for our mouthguards. Sportspeople of all abilities rate them because not only do they have cool designs, but they also offer superior protection. It's important that our products are fun but have a function, too."
Christine Hamilton, interim director of the Department for International Trade West Midlands,added: "Working closely with Heather Crocker, the company's International Trade Adviser in the Black Country team, George and Ewan have achieved fantastic growth in export over the past 18 months. It is a testament to their commitment, drive and enthusiasm and I am confident they will continue to grow."

I'm only using paper standups at the moment - I didn't want to collect an army of miniatures, paint them up, then find I didn't like the rules or the style of the game. However, I really enjoyed this game, so I'm going to be buying heaps of Black Tree Designs miniatures and painting them up for a proper 3D miniatures game experience :) For now though, I apologize that the figures are just photos of miniatures printed out and folded so that they stand up.
The Scenario:
I based this battle on the Tournament Game in the Dalek Invasion of Earth PDF (my first blog post has links for getting rules and scenarios). I made a couple alterations, so this is basically what this battle is about:
A Dalek Saucer, detecting human life signs, sets down in the ruined British countryside. Local resistance fighters move into the area, seeking out human survivors, to evacuate them to safety. Meanwhile, a wheelchair-bound resistance leader named Dortmun needs to cross this area to reach a secret resistance meeting.
Following the Tournament rules, I made 8 groups, and assigned each group a coloured gemstone to identify them:
Invader Forces
Dalek Black - 1 Dalek - out to exterminate any enemies encountered.
Dalek Red - 1 Dalek - patrolling each Quarter of the map.
Robomen Green - 3 Robomen - planted with explosives and remote controlled, they will blow up near resistance humans.
Robomen Yellow - 3 Robomen with a mission to capture humans and bring them to the Saucer.
Resistance Forces
Resistance Black - 2 soldiers - escorting Dortmun to and off the north end of the map.
Resistance Green - patrol each Quarter of the map
Resistance Yellow - try to take out as many invaders as possible - and carrying Dalek Bombs
Resistance Red - try to find survivors in the ruins outside of their starting Quarter and escort them off the Resistance starting zone.
Priority: Resistance

Here's a script that won't be worked into any new Entourage episodes anytime soon — but it is a sobering reality for anyone hoping to launch a new craft beer company.
Adrian Grenier — (Entourage character name: Vincent Chase) — starts a beer company (Churchkey Can Co.) with partner Justin Hawkins, garners some early media attention and launches his suds at popular, hipster-filled speakeasies in Portland, Ore., San Francisco and Manhattan.
But six months into production, the company hits a snag and is forced to pull all of its freshly made beer from the marketplace.
The idea was to revive the flat top steel can, a package that hadn't been used in the beer industry in more than 50 years. But quality control issues and what Hawkins described as "bulging cans" forced Churchkey's founders to halt production last October.
"The integrity of the beer was being compromised," Hawkins said. "The canning line wasn't as efficient as we needed it to be, the pressure inside the can was too high and we ultimately had to pull the beer off shelves."
But even though the company hasn't produced a single drop of beer in more than 10 months, Hawkins said the Churchkey executive team is still intact and evaluating ways to solve the canning issues. One solution would be to move away from the steel package altogether, but that's something Hawkins said he's not quite ready to do.
"That's definitely been a conversation, but it is extremely important to our brand that we get it right." he said. "It was the standard can for more than 30 years so there shouldn't be any reason why we can't do it. We are currently trying to find another brewing and canning partner, which has been difficult because we are trying to bring back a package that hasn't been used in so long."
Churchkey had been producing its beers as part of a contract agreement with Two Beers Brewing in Seattle, Wash.. Two Beers has since taken over the space where Churchkey was making beer and launched Seattle Cider Company.
Despite the challenges, Hawkins is hopeful that the Churchkey brand will return to retail shelves within the next six months.
"We are optimistic and moving forward," he said. "Consumers really seemed to like the beer, the brand and the can. We just have to figure it out."

I started as a full time volunteer for the Union in 1985 so while I was there during Cesar's 36 day fast in 1988, I don't need to tell you about that because there's already a movie coming out called "Cesar's Last Fast." Rather I want to tell you about my fast.
I took up fasting in high school. I would march for the Equal Rights Amendment and fast, to the consternation of people selling food to raise money for it. I would fast in college a lot. There was a time when I would eat once every few days, right before an exam.
So when I joined the union I already had experience in this discipline. The person who hired me had fasted a lot too, in fact he was fasting on the day I took the bus down for my interview and I was starving while he had forgotten all about food. He and sometimes his wife used to fast on liquids for the entire Lent. I tried to learn to fast for longer than the few days I had been. The first time I fasted after I started working at UFW and was trying to go longer, after like four-six days I had a bad reaction and stopped. I would fast here and there for a few days, usually up to six if I wasn't doing juices, which for me seemed to work better. Sometimes we'd only fast on water like when Fred Eyster, the Director of the Migrant Ministry, died some people fasted for three days. What worked best for me tended to be to fast on anything that had zero calories.
So when Cesar started fasting in 1988 I fasted for the first few days too in solidarity, which was probably not such a great idea since it was too soon after my surgery, and I told Cesar before he moved his fast to Delano. He said that one faster at a time is all we can handle so I stopped.
But I started again next year, which was 1989. I think it was exactly a year later but at the time it just worked out that way. I had been planning to an extent. I read a book on fasting. Fasting is like meditation or yoga or like running a marathon or studying law or like any number of other things. It helps if you have natural or inherited talent like many pro athletes do, but it's actually a discipline that you study and work on and practice and improve.
So from this book I learned that after the first few days you will stop being hungry and that most people can fast safely for that point until hunger returns, which is usually three weeks and after that is when you are really risking your health. I decided I would try to go until that point.
My personal motivation was to end stagnation, within and around me both. There was a lot of blocked energy. Things stopped, stale where they should be moving and going forward.
Until now, the only people I've ever told were Cesar and the person who hired me and my preacher. The first four days I had tea but the tea made me sick to I stopped. Then after that I had water, black coffee and diet soda. As it turned out I heard that at one time Cesar had tried diet soda while fasting.
The reason for the diet soda was because it helped my stomach but mainly because I had an issue with depth perception when fasting and sometimes had to stop fasting because I couldn't drive due to lack of depth perception. The diet soda solved this so I could drive. And the reason for the coffee was that I was determined to not take time off but to keep working as normal.
I've heard of a Ramadan blessing "May you have an easy fast." For the most part it was. I didn't get sick or have to take to bed and I managed to work the whole time like normal. I started having food dreams. All my senses were extreme. I could smell French fries for blocks, hear music and conversations from far far away. When I had my diet soda I could feel each and every bubble on my tongue.
At day 14, like you're supposed to, I got the leg cramps and yeah those hurt. But since it wasn't unexpected it wasn't scary in particular. I stopped being hungry after the first few days and when Hunger returned on Day 21, I had the choice to stop or continue and chose to stop, whereas Cesar had continued past that point, the last time for more than two additional weeks.
I broke the fast with bean soup and crackers with my preacher.
A few days later I said to Cesar that I had been fasting and I was feeling run down and tired since I stopped and he said about the feeling afterwards "It's a bit of a letdown isn't it?" I'm glad I did it because I got what I came for and more. If you never open that door then you'll never know what's behind it.

Fifteen days in Stockton, and the 49ers were lucky enough to experience a cool front that kept temperatures from being absolutely sweltering. The coaching and training staff used the remainder of Thursday and all of today to transport all of their materials and equipment back to Santa Clara.
The players will receive a much needed rest as the coaching staff gets ready to continue practices at the 49ers headquarters. The practices however will be reduced to one a day, instead of the two the team submits its players to while at camp.
The team has a very tough schedule ahead, playing three games in ten days. They travel to Denver on Monday, Oakland five days later and San Diego four days after that. The amount of traveling will make sticking to a regular practice schedule quite difficult.
Ive state repeatedly this off-season that the NFL should address its pre-season scheduling format this year. It is scheduling blunders like this that make me feel this way.
Further - contrary to earlier reports, safety Kevin Curtis was not put on the injured reserve. Rather the team will wait until August 27th to do so. Placing him on the list at this point would involve exposing him to every other team on the waiver wire, where as after the 27th the team will not have to waive him first.

This chapter describes the calibration accuracies that we aim to reach in Cycle 17. Since the NCS-operated NICMOS represents a new instrument, a full suite of calibrations have been carried out since the installation of the NCS through Cycle 16 to characterize the instrument performance under the new operation conditions. The plans and goals for Cycle 17 are described in this chapter.
3.6.1 In Table 3.5 we summarize the calibration goals for Cycle 17, assuming a 12 month duration of cycle. Observers with science programs that require better calibrations should request and justify additional observing time for any supplemental calibrations necessary to achieve their goals.The calibration proposals that have been executed during the SMOV phase, as well as the ones included in Cycle 10 through 16, have been aimed at reproducing and possibly improving the level of calibration accuracy achieved during Cycle 7 and 7N. As discussed in Section 3.3.1, the temperature of the NICMOS detectors, as measured by the temp-from-bias method, has shown a drift since Cycle 11. The temperature decreased by ΔT~2K during the period 2002 to 2008. Using the calibration programs from Cycle 11 to 16, the NICMOS team has been able to quantify the effects from this temperature drift on the calibration of the detectors. As a result, new temperature dependent reference files are now available. To continue the investigation of this temperature dependence, as well as the overall detector performances, the monitoring programs continue in Cycle 17.
3.6.2 As shown in Table 3.5, several programs aim at routinely monitoring the proper operation of NICMOS. Programs to routinely obtained darks, and determine the shading profile of the detectors (11946, 11947), monitor the stability of the flat-fielding in a few broad filters (11948), monitor the photometric stability of the instrument (11950), and to monitor (and correct if necessary) the focus settings of the instrument (11953) are planned. These programs, and the accuracies aimed by these programs are listed in Table 3.5Table 3.5: NICMOS CYCLE 17 Calibration Plan
Scheduling Required Accuracy Required Dark Current and Shading Profile 4-5% per visit for lin. dark, S/N 50 overall Routine monitor of dark current and shading profile for all 3 cameras. Extended Dark Monitoring Extended dark, amplifier and shading, for all 3 cameras, incl temp dependence. 1 orbit ~6 months Monitor DQE change with temperature/time for all 3 cameras. Photometry Monitoring 1 orbit ~4 months Verify photometry stability over a wide range of wavelengths. Every ~4 months Temperature-dependent flat fields Calibrate time/temperature dependence of flat-fields for a range of filters Calibrating NICMOS Non-linearity in F160W Calibrate non-linearity at very faint levels at long wavelengths Photometric Cross-Calibration Observe faint IR spectrophotometric standards Photometric Standards Imaging
3.6.3 Cycle 17 includes three special calibration programs that are not part of the standard monitoring. First, program 11949 will obtain flat-fields for a range of different filters in order to characterize the flat-field behavior at the detector temperature valid for Cycle 17. Program 11951 will extend the flux-dependent non-linearity calibration to fainter limits than previously measured, in order to enable non-linearity corrections to be applied to observations of faint, distant sources. This proposal uses the F160W filter, and is complementary to the Cycle 16 F110W proposal 11799. The purpose of the third special program 11954 is to provide improved spectrophotometric observations for faint IR standards to be used in cross-calibrating to WFC3/IR and JWST.
3.6.4 Two programs in Cycle 17 are intended to verify the behavior of the NICMOS detectors after Servicing Mission 4. This includes observing standard stars to verify the photometric calibration (11952) as well as the calibration of the NICMOS camera 3 grisms (11955).Information about the calibration plans for Cycles 10-15 can be obtained in ISR 2002-002b, ISR 2002-03, ISR 2003-11, ISR 2005-005 and ISR 2007-004. These can be found at:
3.6.6 If your program requires unique calibrations beyond those that are planned and listed in Table 3.5, then you should apply directly for these special calibrations in your Phase I proposal.

With University Remuneration Day approaching it's time to stop the widening gap between our pay and the pay of the university high earners. Our report last year showed that the number of university staff earning more than £100,000 a year has soared and the pay of the Vice Chancellor and some of the other high earners at the University has continued to pull away from our own. While we have lost 13% of the value of our pay since 2009, the Remuneration Committee awarded pay increases averaging about 5% to the high earners. Read the letter from all three university unions – UNISON, UCU and Unite -to members of the Remuneration Committee in advance of their meeting on June 27th. If you think their pay increases should be tied to our sign this petition now.

A port is more than a complex of berths, docks, and adjacent land where ships and cargoes are served. Many definitions have been attributed to the term port aiming to capture all the activities and interactions taking place in and through it. According to the ECMT (European Conference of Ministers of Transport 2001) "A sea port is a logistic and industrial node in the global transport system with a strong maritime character and in which a functional and spatial clustering of activities takes place, activities that are directly or indirectly linked to seamless transportation and transformation processes within logistic chains.".
Within EU, ports are vital key points of modal transfer handling 90% of Europe's international trade and 40% of the intra-Community trade. The importance of the port industry for EU can be easily assumed through the total number of 1 200 merchant ports located in some 100 000 km of European coasts (Europe, maritime affairs), which are responsible for direct and in-direct source of more than half a million jobs. In 2005, the number of HR employed in EU seaports and related services exceeded 284.000 individuals (EC, DG fisheries and Mare, 2005) with UK, Spain, Denmark, Belgium and France holding more than 10% of total port related employment in EU.
The importance of EU Seaports is documented in several policy documents among which the Communication on a European Ports Policy {SEC(2007)1339}{SEC(2007)1340 where the EU sets as key goal the development of a strong and competitive Port System able to cope with key challenges such as:
- The provision of quality, low cost and reliable services
- Adaptability to major technological changes through the use of the most advanced IT, navigation, and telecommunication technologies.
- The commitment to reduce greenhouse gases and the other existing environmental problems related to port operations
- To reconcile ports development and management with transparency, competition, and in general the Community set of rules
Taking into consideration the fact that maritime activities are becoming more and more "knowledge dependant', the availability of skilled human capital is more than necessity towards the implementation of the EU goal for a competitive and efficient EU port system. This is also in line with the Lisbon Agenda which focuses on making Europe "the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world, capable of sustainable economic growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion"
Scope of this project is to examine the current "map" of the EU ports' human 'capital' in relation to the sector's needs and requirements in well educated, trained and qualified staff, that, under the spectrum of technological changes and innovations can ensure safe and efficient operations in EU ports securing the competitiveness of the EU ports' industry.
The recent Communication from the Commission, titled Ports: an engine for growth (COM(2013) 295 final) has been published, following a long and detailed consultation period. The communication identifies several actions to be pursued, including the creation of a port sector Social Dialogue Committee. It highlights the issue of port work as an occupation with high risk of accidents and health implications for workers. It calls for the launching of a concerted action project to examine health and safety, training and qualification challenges in EU ports, with the involvement of the Social Dialogue committee. This communication also reviews the European Port Policy and builds on the progress achieved.
EU-PORTRAItS started the 1st December 2013 and it will run till 30 April 2016 with a budget of 1.388.740 €.

Walking in a winter wonderland
This month sees the return of the Festival of Winter Walks, set up be Britain's walking charity Ramblers, which takes place from 20 December to 4 January. Whether you want to burn off some Christmas calories, enjoy a leisurely stroll with the family or get to work on a New Year's resolution, there are plenty of walks to choose from. Here's how to get involved …
Reasons to get walking
Walking is something anyone can get involved in – regardless of your budget, age or general fitness. It also delivers a whole host of mental and physical health benefits. Studies have shown that regular walking strengthens the heart and lungs, helps to maintain healthy joints and boosts energy levels. Walking is also great for helping to maintain a healthy weight and releasing feel-good endorphins.
Best walking resources
For safety tips and advice on the best walking routes, check out ramblers.org.uk or where2walk.co.uk. It is also worth downloading the following apps:
- Outdoors Great Britain is a handy mapping app, offering the full range of Ordnance Survey maps. Great for those hiking in rural areas, the app will work anywhere, regardless of phone signal. Available for £1.99 from iTunes.
- The free Map My Walk app turns your iPhone into a pedometer, allowing you to track your route, pace, calories burned, distance and time. Perfect for competitive walkers and those looking to burn off those extra Christmas pounds!
- iFootpath is a great app for those seeking inspiration or looking to make the most of their winter walk. The app features more than 537 detailed and mapped walking guides across the UK and also includes beautifully presented walking guides providing descriptions, photos, historical notes and things to look out for along the way. Available for £1.49 on iTunes, or for Android on Google Play.
- The free World Walking app has been designed to motivate by putting the fun into fitness – ideal for new walkers. Accumulate steps, achieve milestones and gain awards as you enjoy virtual walks on some of the most famous routes in the world.
How to get involved

Dark and ugly.
And it was soooo fun to write.
However. I cut and cut and cut (pun intended) and I am still officially over the word count. Please consider this my IOU for 35 words. I promise I will deduct them from next weeks SC!
Prompt is in bold.
To read other, less macabre, offerings using the same prompt, just click here.
PS. Sorry in advance if you have a squeamish stomach today. Mwahahahahahahahahahaha! And sorry for the weird spacing on this. I can't seem to fix it in blogger today.
"Make sure the knife is sharp," I reminded myself.
"You are just a stupidstupidstupiduglyfatbitch! Why aren't my shirts ironed? This house is disgusting! Crack-Crunch-Smack!"
I turned from the lovely, bubbly fragrance on the stove.
My apron was freshly laundered and ironed.

This is such encouraging news and what really brought this information to my attention is the fact that I played a part in this data! I had 3 pending sales during the month of July, and it seemed as though if a house had a roof and 4 walls, it was under contract. For those of us who don't know, a pending sale is when an existing home on the market becomes binding between two parties. Anything can happen during this time regarding funding, appraisals, stipulations, etc. This is also an exciting time because the sellers and buyers are preparing for major transitions in their lives. What I love about this information is that it paints a very clear picture for me. There were a large amount of homes on the market before, this number began to drop significantly and people began to panic. Their worry is that there were no more good deals on the market, so people began to really get it in gear and begin buying homes. There were many people sitting on the fence, meaning they couldn't decide whether to buy or wait for better deals to come. For some reason, the panic took hold and a huge amount of homes were pending in July and eventually sold in August. The problem now is the shadow inventory and when it will be released. It seems as though all the good deals are gone, but wait until after the first of the year when further foreclosures are released. If you're still on the fence, there will be good deals, but prices to continue to rise, so watch out.

"And now abide these three: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
- 1 Corinthians 13:13
I'm a true romantic. But the love talked about in this verse is the truest of true romantic loves. The romance of the world is very often misshaped and selfish and not able to withstand the many abusive blows it receives.
But the love of God...now that is the purest kind. Completely selfless, immensely sacrificial, unstoppable, a burning and unquenchable passion, a jealous and unchanging love. This makes it the strongest possible kind. And one that is so incomparable. It can't be bought, it is only given. It is never manipulated, but given with grace. And it can never, ever be broken. The truth is, not even death can contain, limit or abolish this awesome love of God.
Our relationship with God is a romance. And a greater romance has never been told. It's a romance that is eternal, not like the world's. It's a romance that is infinite. It was being formed before the universe was spoken into existence. And it began with the powerful love we were just talking about. That same love is the one, the same power that sustained Christ when He gave up His last breath on the cross to save the chosen sinners. That love is woven and knit into each of the souls of His elect. And He is constantly wooing us and romancing us through blessings that He continually pours out on our lives. When no human stands with us through a storm, He is always there. When we experience heartache and pain, He remains faithful. This love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
As God's child, are you rebelling against the world's standards of love and showing the true colors of love? The love that He manifested in smiting His own Son to die in your stead?
World: Love satisfies your immediate needs.
God: Love is patient.
World: Love should be directed towards yourself.
God: Love is kind.
World: Love is only satisfied when you are being shown attention
God: Love is not jealous.
World: Love means that you deserve the best.
God: Love is not boastful.
World: Love is doing for yourself whatever makes you happy.
God: Love is not rude.
World: Love is doing everything for your own benefit.
God: Love is selfless.
World: Love is only there if you treat them right all the time
God: Love forgives and forgets.
World: Love hides behind lies so others think they're without fault
God: Love rejoices in the truth.
World: Love comes and goes.
God: Love never fails.

If you need a good guide or want to get started in rock climbing give these guys and gals a call. These people will show you a good day of climbing in the Needles, Rushmore, and Devil's Tower. They are my recommendation. They live in the area year round and play in this area year round. They are not summertime carpetbaggers.
The local climbers advocacy group. These people are responsible for such activities as the annual "Pumpfest" and the" Biners and Beans". They also have been active in the past working with the local land managers for dealing with climbing issues. The not much fun aspect, like sitting in boring meetings negotiating a climbing management plans. Send them some money and pat them on the back. Also check out their web site.
Without these people we may not have anyplaces left to climb. They do a tiring, never ending job of keeping climbing available for us through-out this nation. Check out their site and send them some money too.
Here is a character, Frank Sanders. I have known Frank since about 1976. He is worth the price of admission just to meet him, let alone to climb with him. Check his site too.
You like climbing routes with good anchors and protection bolts? These guys are trying to replace as many bolts as they can. And it is another group that needs some money to operate. Check their site and get their address to send them some money along with the rest.
We all pretty much know who these people are. Check out their site.
Our husband and wife team of friends, Tass Thacker and Bruce Junek. This couple has travelled to many exotic places and have a web site to share them with you. Go visit their site. They also travel to alot of public schools through-out the country giving programs about their travels.

Richland Hospital IV Shortage
Wisconsin hospitals and health systems are taking steps to conserve their supply of IV solution as they cope with unprecedented national shortages. A majority of the hospitals and health systems in Wisconsin responding to a survey from the Wisconsin Hospital Association (WHA), said they are proactively rationing intravenous (IV) solution to minimize the impact on their organizations. The shortage has impacted the Richland Hospital.
Almost half of the hospitals responding to the Wisconsin Hospital Association survey say their conservation efforts are having a significant impact on staffing, scheduling or other operational issues. A few organizations report they have come close to rescheduling procedures or sending patients to other facilities because they were so low on IV solution. To date, no hospitals have had to transfer patients or postpone treatments.
The FDA recently announced it has taken steps to attempt to remedy the crisis by allowing the importation of saline products from other countries and also by approving new saline products. Hospitals nationwide are concerned about the uncertainty of when these products will become available and when a long-term solution to the shortage will be implemented. While uncertainties may exist, the Richland Hospital continues to fulfill its mission and core values of service to patients, community and staff.
The Wisconsin Hospital Association is monitoring the IV Shortage with its member hospitals, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services Division of Public Health, the Wisconsin Healthcare Emergency Preparedness Program, and the Division of Quality Assurance.

A reformed drug-user has been given a warning after he was caught with cannabis-based street drug Black Mamba which is causing misery across the UK.
Chesterfield magistrates' court heard on Thursday, November 9, how Ben Wayde Griffin, 23, of Annesley Close, Chesterfield, was spotted by police smoking a suspicious substance before slumping on a bench in New Square, in Chesterfield town centre, in the shadow of the Crooked Spire Church.
Prosecuting solicitor Becky Allsop said: "Officers saw Griffin in New Square, Chesterfield, and saw him walk away and return a short time later with a bag with green matter in the bottom and the police were concerned it was a controlled substance.
"They then saw him smoking some of it and slumping onto a bench.
"It was believed to be Mamba and it was identified as a controlled cannabinoid."
Griffin told police he had bought the drug for £45 and he knew it was a controlled substance and that he did not have the authority to be in possession of the drug.
Black Mamba or MMB-FUBINACA is regarded by police and the courts as a psychoactive substance and has been dubbed the Zombie Drug after many of those who are using the substance have been found collapsed in the street.
The defendant, who has no previous convictions for drug offences, pleaded guilty to possessing 0.77grammes of MMB-FUBINACA B after he was found by police about 2.30pm, on August 22.
Defence solicitor Denny Lau said: "It was clear he was someone taking Mamba and this subsequently led to him stealing and going to prison in September.
"But in prison he kicked this habit and he has since provided negative test results for drugs with the probation service."
Mr Lau argued that things have changed for Griffin and he has turned his life around.
Magistrates stated they were aware of the nature of Black Mamba and the misery that it causes but in this instance they understood Griffin has since been making progress.
Griffin was sentenced to a 12 month conditional discharge but was warned if he re-offends in the next year he will be re-sentenced for the drugs possession offence.
The defendant was also ordered to pay a £20 victim surcharge.

I didn't get lost tablecloth shopping or anything like that, though I do have a singular naked table in a vast, echoing room of nothing, so maybe I should've. I moved these last few weeks and returned to Victorian era were sex was so forbidden that even the shapely slab of wood might cause arousal, i.e. no internet, no car, no toilet paper, and a whole slew of other things that I've must have blocked out for the sheer horror.
In a not-so ironic twist of fate, my offline existence became more than a choice, and I have to ask myself if there was something nice about it. I don't know. It's too hard to think about. Come back to me in a few years and we'll see if the therapy is working.
But after having several days of downsizing, packing, getting the utilities on, unpacking, cleaning, throwing things out, putting things away, organizing everything, reorganizing everything, and even just lying in bed completely exhausted, I do finally now have my own space to work. At first, I didn't use it, avoided it even, spent a good portion of time trying to see if I could perfectly keep all streaks off my new glass shower—no, by the way—until a couple of things happened.
My work in progress, what I am referring to as The Plane, is in a tight spot. Stephen King once said if you put a manuscript down you'll never pick it up again, and there's reason for that. A lie, even by his own accounts (In fact I could entirely be wrong he was the one who said it in the first place. Will I look it up? No. Journalism is a dying art. Get used to it.) being that Under the Dome was one such script, though completely rewritten saved for the dead chiseler. It's hard to remember what I was doing, but more importantly, there's usually a reason you put it down in the first place.
I always struggle the moment right after the "inciting incident." This, according to everyone else, is the moment the character is first propelled into action. It, according to me, is the moment the audience finds out the conflict. I could say why, but I won't. I have shit to do today.
My first few novels attempted to be motivated by the antagonists' wishes, and it's very tricky business. Try, at some point, writing from an ignorant character's point of view and yet progressing the plot for the audience at the same time. Not impossible, but a handicap to be sure. I've realized some foolishness insistence on my subconscious's part that the protagonist wants for nothing, or very little, and then I try to drag him into things and am surprised when he won't work with me, especially when he has no idea what the hell is going on. After some time, I have had the epiphany that people read to find out more, and I should probably answer things along the way rather than spending so much energy keeping them in the dark to just vomit it out at the end. It works better for everyone involved.
The Plane is one of these scripts in which the pilot Soel into action, but Soel is not a pious person and can be easily manipulated even after being fully aware of the villain's intentions. It's just that I am not really clear on what those intentions are.
It does not strike me as strange I have been struggling to write these last few scenes because it follows my pattern. Right around the 20,000-30,000 word mark the idea loses its shinny packaging. I also tend to come up with the premise, the characters, and basic images of the world fairly quickly, but as for actual plotting or thorough decisions in world building… well, that's man's work. After describing the character's current existence and giving varying degrees of backstory, I can write a big finish to the introduction, get the plot rolling, and then…
Now I need to start actually knowing things.
And even though with The Plane I have developed good portions of the following details, I really don't know enough to do whatever it is to make this next scene interesting. I'm bored. My characters are bored. Can't imagine it's much better for the readers, but I guess it's at least quicker to skim.
It wasn't just the scene though. I was lacking inspiration to write in general. One of the reasons I write every day is because it constantly keeps the story in my mind, fresh and exciting. Otherwise, it's like that friendship with someone you haven't seen in months. Even if you're the same people, it's awkward as hell at first and you have to get comfortable with each other again before getting excited.
A couple of things happened. One, I lacked internet, so I couldn't keep giving myself migraines by reading Reddit all day. (Seriously, I don't know what that was all about, but I have a problem.) Two, I finally had space and could feed my compulsive control over my environment. And then, last but not least, I had a friend.
A lady I will call "Hitchcock," unless otherwise ordered, grew up with me and my writing. She had always been supportive, argumentative, and somewhat of an energy feeder; after I was with her, I always became rejuvenated. She moved to Seattle after we graduated high school, I went to L.A., and while we kept in touch, obviously our relationship dwindled, especially when the bitch thought she was too good for Facebook. Luckily, she came to her senses in the last few months.
I visited my boyfriend's mother's house, or rather visited her dogs and stole her food while she was at work, and had a good amount of time online. Hitchcock messaged me, and at first the conversation was as I said, awkward and slow going, but we got onto the subject of "art," the pistol fired, and off our rants went.
Let's face it, diplomacy is exhausting. Sometimes you need to just be pissy, butt-hurt, and truly honest for the sake of catharsis.
Then, she complimented me.
I've been getting support often in the last month or so. Do so, if you will. Not just to me—although if you have five minutes—If you know someone who is close to you, tell them something you admire about them because you never know when it's just the time they need it.
People don't always take it as we should. A compliment to me six months ago would hurt. I mean, I would actually experience physical pain. Embarrassment maybe? Fear of getting my hopes up? Six months before that, it would do little good. I mean, I know, of course. A few years before that I would have liked to believe it, but always would have thought they were just being polite.
So, why bother? Right then, it meant something to me.
It's not as though I don't have opinions on my own work. It's not as though her opinion affected mine, not really. I suppose writing had seemed so circular, the pain so endless, I was struggling to see the point anymore.
Friendship, socialization, and a good ol' bitch session can do wonders for the complexion.
She told me, in no uncertain terms, that she had always loved everything I've done and knew I could do great things.
It's not something I'm going to be putting in my query letters any time soon. Hell, I hesitate to comment on it now. But let's face it, for whatever reason, it did the trick.
On the way home, inspiration tingling in my fingers, I remembered a scene from one of my manuscripts. It was from one worked on long, long ago, started right before I began my great beast of a book I am still in the process of cutting down on, but an experiment in "outlining."
And by outlining, I just mean writing really poorly. Deliberately.
I was probably eight months out of college, not writing much for anything. I was working long hours at the theatres in my hometown, so I had some reason, but I felt as bad as I do today and tried to get back into the swing of things. I turned on capslock and summarized until I reached about a hundred and fifty pages. Not too far from the end, National Novel Writing Month began and instead, wrote the first 60,000 words in the 180,000 word pain in the ass.
I was side-tracked, to say the least.
I knew very well why I left the project, and it had nothing to do with the writing. I was excited, remotivated, and it was easy. Writing a thoroughly outlined novel is a very much different process, and while the actual manuscript is still young, in just the last few days, I've done more writing than I've done in the last two months. After a long break of stress, distraction and dissatisfaction I began to feel not only inspired, but capable. I began to want it again.
Is the moral of the story about the evil of the internet and what we can accomplish if we just disconnect? Certainly not. Facebook saved my life. Now close the damn browser and get back to work.

I don't know if you guys played Persona 3 on psp, it's a great game by the way. Played alot of it during the last few months of my Army days, lol. Get to know quite alot of the Persona series of games from that game itself. Well, although there are Persona 1 or 2 that is also available on Psp, I didn't really get myself to try it out because the battle graphic is something like this.
As compared to this, which is on Persona 4.
As you can see, there's a whole lot of difference! haha. I don't mean to say that Persona 1 or 2 is not good enough, but just that the graphics are not appealing enough to make me play it. Haha, sorry to hardcore Persona fans.
I am really happy that another anime adaption of Persona 3 sequel which is Persona 4 is going to be out soon. There is an anime based on the Persona series that is out quite a while ago but it was not very well made as it is quite draggy.
Hope the new anime based on Persona 4 is going to be a great anime with lots of awesome and powerful Personas!

Getting access to private land for deer hunting is pretty rare without a lease or some connection to the land owner. These days you certainly can't blame someone for turning hunters down. Land owners are frequently holding the property for friends or relatives to hunt and don't want a complete stranger to walk off with a trophy.
If you can't afford to buy or lease your own hunting property, setting up on public lands is probably your only choice. The good news is most states set aside large parcels of land for public hunting. The bad news is the properties are often overloaded with fellow hunters looking for similar opportunities.
Battling crowds is certainly not something to look forward to, but doing some homework ahead of time can help deliver a quality hunting experience in just about any tract of public land. Go where other hunters won't go and you'll find solitude and deer. Looking for sign is natural for deer hunters, but in this case look for human sign and keep moving until you can't find it.
Go Further
Most hunters won't go further than a quarter mile away from the parking lot. Many of them think they are going in much further than they actually are. Do some walking around during the summer months and truly get to know the land and actual distances. 500 extra steps will most likely put you in places that other hunters won't go. One caveat to this strategy is carrying a deer out. Be prepared for a longer drag.
Cross A Barrier
Many public hunting areas have rivers or streams flowing through them. Often times hunters stay on the road side of these obstacles simply because they lack gear to cross water. A pair of hip waders will get you through many of these streams and into a public hunting area that feels like private land. Briar patches, thick regrowth in clear-cut areas, and even steep terrain can also keep most hunters out of a given area. Simply wearing rugged clothing such as chaps and being in good physical condition can put you in position to hunt trophy deer on public land. Crossing barriers may require you to leave the stand in the truck, so be prepared to hunt from ground level.
Scouting From Home
Google Maps, Yahoo Maps, and Mapquest offer excellent satellite imagery for free. TerraServer also offers free map viewing with enhanced options for a fee. Zoom in on a potential hunting property and look for out of the way places deer and hardworking hunters can find privacy. I am astounded at ponds, streams, and even trails that can be found using these maps. There are countless situations in which these free maps have led to incredible hunts.
Timber Islands
Web based scouting exposes land features you may not have noticed before. Most hunters naturally hit the big woods while ignoring smaller tracts of timber. It doesn't take long for deer to notice this as well. Hunting small islands of woods can often be more productive than hitting larger sections of forest due to less pressure.
Hunting public land can be incredibly frustrating. You are at the mercy of other hunters who often act without regard to your plans. Sometimes purposely, most of the time accidentally. Putting in extra work to get away from the crowds can pay huge dividends.
