New Covenant and Holy Communion
J.N. Manokaran
"For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me." In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me." For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. But if we were more discerning with regard to ourselves, we would not come under such judgment. Nevertheless, when we are judged in this way by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be finally condemned with the world. So then, my brothers and sisters, when you gather to eat, you should all eat together. Anyone who is hungry should eat something at home, so that when you meet together it may not result in judgment. And when I come I will give further directions. (I Cor 11: 23-34)
Two sacraments
The New Testament Church has two sacraments: Baptism and Holy Communion. Baptism is taken by a believer to express his obedience of faith once in life time. However, Holy Communion has to be taken as often as possible. Some churches like Roman Catholic Church celebrates Eucharist every day; Brethren Assemblies every Sunday; other churches practice this once or twice a month or once in three months.
New Covenant
The term covenant used in the Bible has a unique meaning. Covenant in the Bible means an agreement between two unequal partners. While contract and Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is done generally between equal partners, the biblical covenant is between God the creator and human being who are just His creation. Hence, God himself takes initiative for the introduction and implementation of the covenant. Bible scholars consider there are several covenants like: Garden of Eden, Noah, Abraham, Moses and David. Generally, the elements of covenant are: agreement, oath or promise, sacrifice, and feast
Holy Communion is the symbol of New Covenant which could be termed as the Everlasting covenant. The everlasting covenant comprises of Law of righteousness, Law of grace, Law of Spirit, Law of Liberty and faith. The Old Testament Covenant had circumcision and Passover as important components, while the New Covenant has Baptism and Holy Communion.
I Obedience
The disciples of Lord Jesus Christ are called to celebrate this sacrament. This is an ordinance or commandment given by God. Christian life is based of faith and which is demonstrated by obedience. A Christian who ignores or neglects the participation in the Holy Communion is disobedient. Obedience is the demonstration of our humility. If we love Him we obey his commandments (John 14:15)
II Remember
Lord has commanded to observe Holy Communion in remembrance of Him (I Cor 11:24). The wages of Sin is death (Romans 6:23). Lord Jesus Christ gave himself as sacrifice, died, buried and rose again from death. By His death Jesus fulfilled the Law. He did not destroy or break or violate the Law. Through His fulfillment we find salvation from our sins in Him alone. Jesus Christ fulfilled the old covenant and its laws when: He lived a sinless life; became the sacrifice for our sins and was raised from the dead defeating sin and death. Also, Jesus Christ became our: High Priest, Sacrifice and Temple. Jesus death and resurrections means: Reconciliation with God; Redemption, Forgiveness, Eternal life, Citizenship of Kingdom of God, Royal Priesthood and many other blessings. We rejoice and celebrate all these spiritual blessings he earned for us by His sacrifice.
III Examine
It is wise to observe the Holy Communion after examining ourselves (I Cor 11:28).
In the Upper Room Judas participated in the Holy Communion without truthfulness and integrity. As soon as he received bread, Satan entered him and he went out to betray Lord Jesus (John 13:27). Paul warned the believers in Corinth that some became weak and sick as they participated in the Holy Communion without proper self-examination. First, we have to examine with our conscience. If our heart condemns us, then we have to seek forgiveness from God (I John 3:20). Second, we have to look into the Word of God that is mirror to see our shortcomings, mistakes, deviations, waywardness, lethargy, negligence, and disobedience (James 1:23). Third, we should allow the Holy Spirit to convict us, rebuke us, and teach us.
IV Proclaim
Holy Communion is the act of proclamation of His death (I Cor 11:26). It is a visual demonstration of the New Covenant. In the Old Testament, Moses commanded the children of Israel to observe Passover. While they observe Passover, parents were expected to teach the children the Mighty deeds of God Jehovah, who redeemed them from Egyptian slavery. Similarly, partaking Holy Communion is the proclamation of the deliverance of disciples of Lord Jesus Christ from slavery of Sin, Satan, World and Death. This is also an invitation for those who do not believe in Lord Jesus Christ.to come into the Fold of the Good Shepherd.
V Participate
Holy Communion is not a private meal; it is participation in the body of Christ. The Church is the covenant community that has been cleansed by the blood of Lord Jesus Christ. The Church is also termed as Family of God. All believers are equal irrespective of any human hierarchy. All are equal in the presence of God as we partake in the Lord's table. Christian disciples are numerous but they are one body – the body of Lord Jesus Christ (I Cor 10:16-17). Christians consider themselves as heirs of Abraham by faith and inheritors of promises given to Abraham (Gen 12:2). However, Christians are also inheritors of the call of Abraham (Gen 12:1). The call is to forget the ethnic/racial identity (nation); cultural and linguistic identity (people) and caste and clan identity (family) that includes family background. For these three identities people sacrifice themselves and even kill others. However, as disciples of Lord Jesus Christ, we are beyond all these human temporal identities and have a superior identity in Lord Jesus Christ.
VI Anticipate Second Coming
The phrase "I shall not eat it until" (Luke 22:16) implies that Christ expected the eating of the Passover (Holy Communion) to continue during His absence until He would partake of it again at the eschatological marriage supper of the Lamb (Rev 19:9). As in the days of Noah and Lot (Matt 24:37; Luke 17:28) people will be obsessed with themselves and in their personal projects and lose focus of the purpose of life and His imminent coming.
The celebration of Holy Communion has Past, Present and Future in focus. We remember the Cross and Empty Tomb; obey, examine, proclaim, and participate in the Present; and look forward into future with Hope for His Second Coming. What a privilege to be celebrating the feast at His Table.

Not sure if you can order it somewhere in the UK - I'd send you some but it'd probably be a customs disaster. You also only need a TINY bit, like drops of it. search for "Marbling dispersant"

Here's a video of me marbling with carrageenan. You might want to try  Suminagashi Marbling instead of carragean marbling as an intro - it's easier.

Dazriel groaned and lifted his head to take in his surroundings. The darkly lit chamber only depressed him and the Angel went to close his eyes. He paused though as a soft moan caught his ears. Carefully, still very aware of his pounding head he edged himself closer to the muse.
Makoto was lying on the floor, face creased from pain and rightly so considering the deep sword wound that slid across his ribs. The muse's breathing was shallow and Dazriel swallowed nervously. He reached out gingerly to touch Makoto's chest. The muse gasped and his purple eyes shot open, before flickering in pain.
"Oh Makoto…" Anger burning in his throat Dazriel placed his hands palm down on the wound. He took a deep breath and drew his power from behind its door. A trickle of magic, small at first but slowly becoming bigger, stronger flowed into the muse.
Behind him he heard the door swing open, voices' pause in their conversation. He didn't turn though, focusing all his power on the job at hand. It was too much work to keep his true form hidden as well and cursing silently Dazriel shifted. Powerful white wings split the flesh of his shoulder blades, making the Angel howl in pain. They spread out around him, golden blood dripping off the flight feathers to pool around the muse's body. Automatically Dazriel folded them away until they sat comfortably on his back, his mind still on healing Makoto. Gasps came from the men behind them but the Angel ignored them, choosing instead to straddle the muse's hips.
Power lashed through them and then the wound began to pull together, the flesh joining, agonisingly slowly. A scream broke from Makoto's throat and the muse threw his head back, his body convulsing beneath Dazriel's.
Finally the wound closed, leaving seamless, pale blue flesh in its wake. Drained, Dazriel slumped over the muse, panting heavily.
"Erg… and here I was thinking I'd like cuddling up with you…" Makoto purred. Dazriel giggled softly and pushed himself away from the muse, rolling over until his wings got in the way. With a groan, Dazriel stretched his wings out until they brushed the walls of their cell before slumping backwards, his hair pooling around him.
"Can I die now?"
"Er… no, I'd hate to think what Malachi would do to me then."
"I really don't want to know!"
Footsteps made their way towards him and Dazriel turned his head to look at the man standing near to him. He wore simple brown robes and Dazriel smiled, obviously a priest. The man looked down at him, eyes wide with awe and fear.
"Are you really a angel?"
"Uh-huh" Dazriel purred at the question. "You really a human?"
"Of course, angel Lord!"
"One don't call me that, my name's Dazriel, and that there's Makoto. He's a muse by the way, not a demon."
"There's a difference?"
"Yeah, muses are hornier and two, can I ask what on my lords name is going on."
The man gasped and then his eyes hardened, lifting his chin dominatingly he struck a pose.
"I am here to exorcise the evil spirit corrupting your soul!" The priest cried dramatically, raising a wooded cross high above his head. Dazriel raised an eyebrow; this was new.
"Um… why?"
"You must be possessed, or under some sort of mind control for such a holy being as you to protect a demon!" The priest looked pointedly at Makoto.
"Damnit! I'm really starting to hate them calling me that! I am not a demon, I'm a fucking muse!"
The priest was silent for a while, digesting this and then with a smile he raised the cross again and started to chant. Makoto sighed and flopped back down on the floor. As the chanting picked up the tempo Dazriel found himself mouthing the words along with it. Eventually the chant drew to a close and the priest gazed at the angel before offering a shaky;
"Do you feel any different?"
"Erm… no." Dazriel offered him a brilliant smile. Confusion written clearly on the priests face he turned to speak with the other humans.
"I don't know my Lord, maybe there never was a spirit in him."
"Why would he defend the demon then?"
"Maybe it is as they say my Lord, maybe the demon is not a demon."
"How can we be sure?"
"We cannot…"
Dazriel sighed and slumped back down next to the muse. Boredom teased at the edges of his mind as the humans broke into an argument. The angel raised his arms and realising a little of his power he made a small ball of light dance between his fingers. Dazriel's infamous mischief rose to the surface and grinning he sent the ball to hover around Makoto's face. Frowning, but still not opening his eyes the muse waved at it, nose wrinkling when it landed on him. Makoto opened one purple eye and looked at him pointedly. Smiling embarrassedly Dazriel pulled the spark away, moving it so it floated around the humans.
One of the men, a striking, middle aged, well richly clothed mortal turned to glare at it. He blinked slowly and then sighing turned to smile at Dazriel.
"Is this yours?" His voice had a rough gravel like quality to it, a pleasantly rasping sound. Dazriel smiled brightly at him and cupping his hands, ordered the fragment of his soul magic back to him. The ball of light floated back to him, sinking into his flesh where he touched it. The man made his way towards him, a small smile fluttering on his mouth. He settled down next to the angel and after winking at him broadly, reached out to pet Makoto's head. The muse cracked open an eye, his eyebrow arching bemusedly.
"Erm…" Makoto blinked in surprise as the human leaned in close.
"Why, you have purple eyes, how rare!"
"Um… thanks, I think." The muse muttered over Dazriel's laughter. Makoto sat up, twisting his tail until it flopped down over Dazriel's face. The angel scrambled away, coughing as he inhaled fur. The human's laughter filled the air and the group of men suddenly fell silent, and instead stood gaping at the sight.
"I'm Narhe-del, king of Cassenlt. And you are?"
"Dazriel Akka and this is Makoto Seen… can I help you?"
"Only if you want to, I'd never presume to demand something of an angel."
"Well feel free to."
"Just out of interest, he really isn't a demon?" Narhe-del asked, waving his hand towards Makoto.
"Again, he's not." Dazriel ground out through clenched teeth. The human grinned and thumped him on the arm before springing to his feet. He grabbed Dazriel's arm, jerking him to his feet. Narhe-del turned to Makoto with a smile.
"You do understand that I had to be sure, responsibility of the powerful and all that." His voice was sugared as he offered the muse his hand. Makoto took it gracefully, allowing himself to be pulled up.
"Oh quite so, I think maybe a kiss could just about cover the damages." The muse purred at him, his tail curling demurely about his calf. Dazriel choked on his own tongue, his wings fluffing out.
"Makoto!" he stared, horrified, at the muse. To his amazement Narhe-del only smiled thoughtfully, watching amused as Makoto stroked down the angels ruffled feathers.
"Yes, I do think that sounds like a fair price."
"My Lord!" One of the humans cried out, a horrified look on his wrinkled face. Narhe-del waved a hand at him irritably and then ignoring the gasps of his companions placed a chaste kiss on Makoto's lips. The muse's lips curved into an amused smile, one small white fang slipping out onto his bottom lip.
"Well played." He purred.
"I always did like a challenge. Now come, you must be hungry, and I'm sure you'll be welcome at my table." Narhe-del swept from the room, the sense of self confidence only true royalty owned ensuring that he would be followed.
Dazriel hesitated at the doorway to the cell, until Makoto's arm settled around his waist and steered him from the room.
"Don't worry Angel, It'll be fine, don't think about it love." He murmured so only Dazriel could hear. The angel leaned against him greatfully.
"I'm so tired Koto."
"I know angel, just keep your eyes open until we eat and then we'll make our excuses."
"'k" Makoto's soft huff of laughter stirred his hair and Dazriel sighed happily, closing his eyes as he leaned into the muse, trusting him to guide him. Sound flooded into his world and Dazriel opened his eyes as they were led into a large hall. The room fell silent as all eyes fell on the king and his guests. Almost as quickly a buzz of whispered conversation rose.
Narhe-del strode towards the central table, raised on a platform, decorated with red and gold silk and velvet. He beckoned the two to follow him and Dazriel broke away from the protective circle of Makoto's arms self consciously.
Narhe-del banged his cup down on the table until silence was once more gained. All eyes fell on him and the human beckoned Dazriel up to stand beside him.
"We have two very… established guests with us today, The Lord Angel Dazriel Akka and the…" He paused and turned to Dazriel. "Just what is Makoto anyways?"
"He's a muse, or a Karu I guess."
"And the muse Makoto Seen. I expect you to treat them all with the same respect you would I or my kin. Now, its time to eat. Tuck in."
Two places were quickly cleared at the main table and Dazriel was seated. Makoto was on his right and to his left sat a young boy, a young boy who stared, mouth slightly agape at him. Dazriel smiled at him gingerly.
"This is my heir, Houroi-keh. You must forgive him for his lack of diplomacy; he's still a young boy in most things." Narhe-del told him, shooting his son a loaded glance. The boy blushed powerfully before mumbling a apology into his plate. Dazriel smiled at him sweetly, trying to put the boy at ease and Houroi-keh smiled back at him.
"And of course my wife the Lady Keah-sen." Narhe-del introduced a lovely woman, beautiful despite the age lines she owned, if anything they only made her more real. Makoto sprang to his feet, bowing low over the table at her before settling back down and shooting her a dazzling smile.
The meal was rich and the food varied, and Dazriel happily tucked into a mixture of vegetables and sweet fruits.
"Do you not like meat Lord Angel?" Houroi-keh asked, his eyes alight with boyish interest. Dazriel smiled, and swallowed the mouthful of food he had.
"I don't eat meat… I can't. One of those angel things."
"What oh? There is no oh." Dazriel teased gently and the boy grinned at him. Houroi-keh was amazed by his wings, wanting to know everything and anything about them. Dazriel was happy to comply and they chatted away about how they worked, and weather you could fly on them and such.
"But don't they get in your way a lot?" The boy asked, watching as Dazriel he had to lift them away from the snapping jaws of a lap dog that had temporarily broken free of its mistress. Its owner collected the dog, red faced with embarrassment.
"Well, of course they do, but usually it's not a problem if I just put them away."
"What do you mean?"
"Well I… wait, I'll show you." Dazriel stood up, stepping away from the table and sweeping his hair up over his shoulder. He took a deep breath and half closed his eyes. He drew the power from within himself, biting in to his bottom lip as he wings slowly moved back into his shoulder blades. Small dribbles of golden blood worked their way down his back, to soak into his shirt. Dazriel moaned slightly and then sunk back into his chair, leaning forward until the queasiness passed.
"I think it's time the angel and I excused ourselves." Makoto announced.
"Of course, here I'll fetch someone to take you to your rooms." Narhe-del offered.
"Ah, we'll share one; it's not good to leave an exhausted angel alone."
"As you wish… I'll send for the steward now."
Houroi-keh woke them early the next morning. The boy's eyes were bright with anticipation and he grinned at Dazriel widely.
"Hello Lord Angel. My father would like to take you to the market after you break fast with him."
"Market?" Makoto asked and Dazriel sighed pointedly at the 'Lord Angel' title he seemed to have adopted. Makoto pulled on his hair playfully and the angel huffed and stalked out the room.
"Why yes Sir. Some of the Kahrnel have been caught; if they appear in good condition then Father might buy them." This caught Dazriel's attention and he dropped back to the others.
"I take it this doesn't happen all that often?" He asked the boy. Houroi-keh shook his head, causing his hair to ruffle and stand up into the peaks of devil horns. Dazriel chucked and reached over to smooth the boy's hair back down. Houroi-keh blinked up at him in surprise and then suddenly blushed and moved away. The angel frowned and went to speak when Makoto's hand fell on his arm, the muse shook his head warningly, a finger to his lips signalling him to be quiet.
"These Kahrnal, did you say? Can you tell us about them?"
"Kahrnel, Sir … well they… I'm sorry Sir I don't know how to describe them." Houroi-keh's face was still flushed slightly but he responded eagerly to Makoto's question. The three walked on and eventually Houroi-keh was responding to Dazriel happily again.
They entered the main hall and took their seats near to Narhe-del. The human grinned at them and his wife just smiled politely and squeezed her husband's hand. The food was served and as the conversation on hunting wasn't really to Dazriel's tastes, the angel let his mind wonder.
The Lady Keah-sen did seem to spend a lot of the time gazing at Makoto throughout the meal and when the muse offered her a rare smile, she blushed and hid her face behind her husband. Not that Dazriel could blame her, the muse really was quite striking, and the angel could only hope her infatuation would not get her into trouble with Narhe-del. His fears vanished soon after when it became apparent that the king was just as smitten with Makoto as his wife.
Soon after the plates were cleared from the table, and it was only Makoto's hand on his thigh that stopped the angel from helping out. The muse leaned over, to talk to him privately.
"Daz, maybe you ought to be careful how you act around Houroi-keh."
"What ever do you mean?" Dazriel pouted slightly as he glanced over at the boy. Makoto sighed and ran a hand over his plaited hair.
"Look angel, the boy's a prince; he's probably never been treated like other kids in his lifetime. You keep acting so friendly… and I do realize it's only the way you are, but he will take it the wrong way."
Dazriel sat dumbstruck at the statement.
"You don't mean that he'd think…" His voice trailed off and he shot a shocked glance at Houroi-keh. "But I'd never…"
"I know that Daz, but he doesn't. I know you're just being friendly, just being an angel." Makoto smiled at him worriedly and Dazriel patted his hand before sitting back in his chair to think about that. His thoughts were interrupted as the table was cleared and chatter began in earnest. The angel stood with the rest, Makoto close by his side. Houroi-keh walked to stand beside him and Dazriel avoided the boy's eyes, fearfully.
A hand touched his shoulder and Dazriel spun to face the king. Narhe-del grinned at him, exposing ruby incrusted canines, the angel offered him a timid smile in return.
"You will be coming with us to the market of course?" Narhe-del's grin widened and Dazriel backed away, bumping into Makoto. The muse wrapped his arms around his shoulders, head resting on Dazriel's, so his plaited hair fell down across the angels chest. The angel tugged on it gently in thanks.
"No matter Angel, Malachi'd have a fit if I let you get hurt pet." Makoto whispered into his ear, "Tell the truth, it's kinda nice to have someone to watch out for."
"Well?" Narhe-del was getting impatient.
"Oh well of course we're coming your highness. Daz here just ain't that much of a speaker now are you angel?" The muse's drawl had a hint of smugness in it but thankfully Narhe-del let it pass.
Houroi-keh tugged on Dazriel's sleeve as they followed his father from the room.
"Are you mad at me Lord Angel?" The boys voice was timid and Dazriel reached out to ruffle his hair.
"Na, course not. Just kinda homesick is all." Dazriel smiled at the worried looks Makoto was shooting him. Beside him Houroi-keh nodded wisely and took the angels hand in his.
The market place was hot and crowded, but the crowd parted like mist on a warm night as the party was sighted. Dazriel sat on a bed tempered mare, a spotted bay that had enough years to her name to know that the being on her back was not one to be thrown off, no matter what. He was sandwiched in between Makoto and the prince, both of whom were being possessive. It was an interesting tug of war.
He'd put his wings on show at Houroi-keh's request and the boy was currently twirling one, large, snow white feather between his fingers. Absentmindedly Dazriel fluffed out his feathers at the chill breeze blowing around, and then lifted his wings so they wrapped themselves, like an extra cloak around his slight form.
Below him the mare snapped at a near by child, the angel frowned and pulled on her mane gently in warning. This was a joke, he couldn't even control a bad tempered mare, somebody up there was laughing at him, he knew it. Although he had to admit, he much rather that some one 'down below' was kissing him. Dazriel sighed, feeling his wings droop slightly.
"Daz? You all right?" Makoto asked, worry tinting his voice. The angel sat up and smiled at him sadly.
"Sorry. Just thinking about Malachi is all… oh Makoto, I already miss him too much!"
He closed his eyes briefly, letting the pressure in his chest go in a long sigh. Makoto moved his own horse closer to him, moving so that if he leaned slightly he could wrap an arm about Dazriel. He placed the ghost of a kiss on the angel's cheek. He flicked Dazriel's nose gently and then steered his horse in the opposite direction.
"Feel free to browse the market place, you might find something to your tastes. I'm sure Houroi-keh will be happy to join you." Nerhe-del dropped back to talk to them, placing an affectionate hand on his son's head. "The main viewing will only start at noon, at the halls." The human waved his hand towards a large white washed building. "We can meet up there later."
"As you wish father."
Houroi-keh led them through the streets of Cassenlt, winding in and out of the buildings and pockets of people. Eventually they came to where a podium was set up and Houroi-keh drew to a stop.
"What is this?" Dazriel asked him, even as a hint of an idea crept into his brain. Life was stirring on the platform and a crowd had begun to gather around it. Houroi-keh turned to him, smiling slightly worriedly.
"Oh… the sale's about to begin." As the boy spoke a group of humans were ushered onto the platform. They huddled together like frightened sheep, eyes wide.
"Just what kind of sale is this?" Makoto asked as one of the men was pushed forward to stand next to a richly dressed merchant.
"Oh a slave sale of course."
Dazriel at stunned and then turned his horse sharply in order to leave, only to find that the crowd had closed about them and escape was impossible. A hand fell on his shoulder and Makoto squeezed it comfortingly.
"Breath Angel. Just don't think about it." Makoto moved his own horse closer, calming Dazriel. Houroi-keh was looking flustered; worried he'd upset his guests.
Dazriel watched, appalled, as the sale took place. Anger building in his chest and frustration that he could do nothing about it. Beside him Makoto was murmuring something in the Karu tongue and desperately Dazriel latched onto his whispering voice, zoning out on anything but it. Makoto fell silent suddenly, his breathing quickening and curiosity getting the better of him, Dazriel dragged his eyes up to the human on sale.
He was young, fully grown but with a sense of frailness about him. His eyes were downcast, hair long and scraggily. Around his neck was a metal collar and he was held at a distance from the men selling him by thick metal poles. A hiss of hatred rose from the crowd around them and the man started back from the edge only to be checked by the poles. A whimper broke from him, and beside Dazriel, the muse began to growl softly. He began to mutter to himself again and this time Dazriel caught on of the sentences.
"Not again, 's not good. 'S bad… 's bad…" Dazriel placed his hand on Makoto's and the muse turned black eyes on him. "That was me Angel, that was me…" Abruptly he turned to Houroi-keh. The boy started at the sight of his eyes, swallowing nervously.
"What is he?"
"Well… he's a Neryh… a blood taker." Houroi-keh was fidgeting again, fear staining his voice and Makoto visibly took a few deep breaths, calming himself and shifting his eyes down a few shades.
"A blood taker… right, and that would be?"
"Err… a blood taker is a, well they're little more then beasts, they live off human lives. Drink people's blood and well… everyone knows about the Neryh. They're not very popular." Houroi-keh shrugged, "Usually they're not sold off… well except to the religious fanatics."
"Why would they want to buy someone like that?" Dazriel asked gently.
Houroi-keh glanced towards him and then at Makoto.
"Well… so they can kill them."
Makoto's eyes flashed and he spun around, his attention focused entirely on the podium. The bidding was mainly between two richly dressed, if slightly eerily, merchants.
"A hundred!"
"A hundred and fifty!"
"Two hundred!"
"Five hundred." Makoto's voice was calm; he didn't need to shout to be heard by all. The merchants head snapped towards him, eyes wide. The seller's mouth was slightly open and he gazed at the muse, stunned before his wits returned and he snapped;
Makoto nodded in response and at the vender's gesturing the three made their way around to the back of the platform. Dazriel sat on his horse shocked, as the muse paid the seller.
The Neryh was forced to his knees, shirt lifted as one of the men walked towards them, a branding mark in hand. Makoto caught his arm in a vice like grip before it could touch the slave's skin.
"That won't be necessary." The man opened his mouth to protest but them at the look on Makoto's face nodded hastily and backed off.
"As you wish my lord."
"Yes." The man backed off and the muse reached down to pull the Neryh up. With quick, economical movements he unclipped the collar from around his neck. The man looked up at him surprised and Dazriel hid a smile behind his hand.
"Oh shut up Angel, and help me get him up." Makoto growled.
"I'm Dazriel… and you look like you could do with a hug." The angel half purred before throwing his arms about Ruben. The Neryh froze eyes wide and then Makoto pulled Dazriel off him.
"Behave Angel." His voice was amused though so Dazriel just flicked his tongue out at him.
"I'm sorry to interrupt… but we really have to be getting back to the halls. The main viewing's about to begin." Houroi-keh's voice was small and he placed a hand on Dazriel's shoulder. The angel nodded happily and then sprang to his feet and grabbing his horse's reigns set off for the main building.
They reached the entrance quickly and Dazriel pushed open the door, stepping into the cool air of the building. Someone slammed into him from behind and a young woman, covered from head to toes in layers of cloth rushed past him.
"Sorry, sorry." Another person called out and Dazriel turned to watch as a young man rushed past them. He skidded to a halt a spun round to face them, shock on his face. Rojan stared at them, stunned and then blinked as the woman called for him to hurry.
"Makoto! Don't you two dare leave!" He turned and started away into the building before stopping again, "Come on! It's the daemons!" The clatter of boots on the stone floor and then Rojan turned the corner. Dazriel turned slightly to look at Makoto and then with a nod the two ran after the incubus.

I can't remember exactly how or why it occurred to me that noodles would be good in an omelet, but it happened one night and I've never been the same since. HA! The drama.
Truth is, I often find myself with half a pot of leftover noodles, having gobbled up the sauce in an imprudent way. And although I appreciate the merits of a bowl of plain noodles as a vehicle for olive oil and cheese, cold rice noodles just don't cut the mustard. So sauceless leftover noodles tend to languish in my fridge… that is, until the glorious advent of the noodle omelet. Noodle omelet! Sounds fun, doesn't it? I feel funner just saying it.
Noodle Omelet
- ~1.5 – 2 cups leftover Tinkyada brown rice pasta
- 5 eggs
- a pat of butter
- 1 T olive oil
- grated parmesan or romano cheese
- salt & pepper
Heat up your pasta in a large non-stick pan with the butter and olive oil. In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and beat with 1/4 t. salt. When the pasta is warmed through, spread it evenly across the bottom of the pan and grate the cheese on top (as much or as little as you please). Grind some black pepper on top (be generous – it adds kick). Slowly pour the eggs over the noodles taking care not to dump them all in one spot. Cover and turn the heat to medium. Cook until the eggs are no longer runny (unless you're a soupy omelet person) and the pasta has formed a crispy crunchy bottom. Oh lordie, take me now!

These amazing animal portraits were all taken in a zoo – and the results are unreal.
Bored Panda – Serbian-born photographer Boza Ivanovic started photographing zoo animals after he recovered from a freak motorcycle accident that left him with two cracked vertebrae in his neck. He spent four months confined to his bed and remembering a certain photo he had taken.
"The subject of that photo was a tiger – but more than an image was shot," Ivanovic told PetaPixel. "I was struck by what jumped out of the picture — a personality, a soul." Upon his recovery, he returned to zoo photography to take these portraits. "It took hours of observation to get know each creature and then even more time to await the perfect opportunity for my new 'friend's' persona to come shining through."

I know this has been out for quite a while but I was quite dismissive of it, I tend to ignore the majority of perfume launches because most of them just smell of vanilla.
Lady Million was unimaginably popular in 2010/2011 because of the success of the men's version and some people absolutely adore this fragrance, while others detest it.
Firstly, I don't like the packaging, I know companies want to make the perfumes stand out on the shelves of department stores, but I prefer perfume to be in a traditional, normal shape bottle not a gold, cube that is impossible to travel with.
The base notes are Patchouli, White Honey and Amber. The middle notes are Jasmine, African Orange Flower, Gardenia. Finally, the top notes are Neroli, Amalfi Lemon and Raspberry.
When its first sprayed, the honey and raspberries are the only ingredients which really come through. Once it begins to dry down it becomes a more woody, sweet floral with the honey still being the dominant component but it has a bit of zing to it because of the lemon and orange ingredients. Once it's completely dried down, its a powdery, sweet floral with a hint of raspberry. Its warm and sensuous without being overpowering and sickly and it lasts quite a long time, after five hours the smell is almost gone. It's a nice smell (it smells better that a lot of mass market perfumes) but I don't think its particularly distinctive or unique.

Alone in a balloon
My balloon floated high above the sea. It was carried on the wind toward a destination that was known only unto the wind. I bought my ticket days ago. My food ran out yesterday. The old man who I purchased my ticket from said this balloon was my ride to a land of unimaginable wealth, happiness, and women.
I think he lied to me.

Back to square one
March 14, 2006
Yesterday I had to take my hubby to the ER with a high fever, which is pretty dangerous with the chemo affecting his blood. I had to leave him there and this afternoon I will be able to visit him in his own room in the hospital. I called the ER this morning and got my hubby on the phone. He sounded afwul. He's been having the hiccups since 6.30 yesterday evening and they haven't gone away since (read: he hasn't slept an hour last night). He's been given some medicine for his fever to drop, but it doesn't seem to be working… I'm starting to get scared. We were so close to the end of this all and now… I just don't want to think of loosing him. I'm feeling like I've lost control. It's the first time since we got the news he had cancer, that I feel like he's slipping away… please keep him in your thougths…

So enjoy--Longings from Letchworth.
I have fallen under the spell
of your deep green tresses.
Endless wanderings in hidden
elven glens.
Your burnished pine carpet,
your carven stone
etched by Time.
Your graveyards of white birch,
resting dreamlessly in deep forest.
I'm captured by the voice of your waterfalls,
joining the song of your river
on its winding sojourn,
always rolling north--
to the Great Blue dividing countries.
I linger entranced in your secret places,
listening long,
kissed by the breeze,
wrapped in serenity under your leaves.
Sunlight breaks into
a million glittering drops,
casting themselves over the lip!
Liquid life runs icy strong over skin,
thrilling to the shivering depths of me.
It calls me to follow.
Light plays through your soaring branches,
dropping in warm patches
to your mossy carpets.
So I watch and I wander--
the song of Eternity calling,
always calling my heart--
calling me home through
your sacred halls.
Letchworth--my Rivendell.

I recently listened to an interview with the author of Chameleo, and it got me to thinking about the phenomenon of gang-stalking.
The term gang-stalking refers to "the intense, long-term, unconstitutional surveillance and harassment of a
person who has been designated as a target by someone associated with
America's security industry" (link). When put in those terms, it doesn't sound so far-fetched. However, when one actually listens to the testimonies of the supposed victims, that's when things get a bit . . . weird (like allegations of government bureaucrats using cloaking technology to spy on a recovering drug addict). Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction, but some of this stuff is a bit much. Though, I am inclined to think that there is some truth buried underneath all the lies, exaggerations, and disinformation.

Well, the anime for CHAOS;HEAD being out finally, will surely bring about a surge in the desire for the VN to be finished up. That's usually the trend at least, especially when the anime adaptation is no where near as good as the VN. And that is the current of thought I've seen behind CHAOS;HEAD.
I haven't yet seen anything beyond PV for either so far, but news of the VN getting worked on is always nice. Though I am horribly slow at actually getting through them. I've had the Fate/Stay Night on the backburner for over a year now, and Tsukihime I only ever got through Arcueid, and Ciel's hentai scenes stories. Even games like the Ace Attorney games take me forever to get through. I love em, it's just REALLLLY hard to start reading when I can instead watch anime or play some videogame.
Anyways, back on topic, a new version of the CHAOS;HEAD translation is out for the VN if your interested(still beta). Source. Myself, I'll see what the anime is like…. and probably go read a Type-Moon VN before anything else.

To plot or not to plot – that is the question. And it's guaranteed to trigger a lively debate when put to a group of writers.
I am a meticulous plotter, but I have not always been so. When I start writing seriously, as a teenager, I would most often start with a vague idea and see where it took me. When I wrote SUFFER THE CHILDREN, which became my first published novel, I'd plotted the first half of the book, but I had no real idea how the novel would end, or how the supernatural beastie that is the Big Bad of the book would be defeated. I started it anyway, figuring that something would occur to me.
The book took me ten years to write, mostly because I got stuck halfway through and still couldn't figure out how it would end. When I decided that I wanted to finish the novel, I decided the only way to do so was to work out the ending, and I sat down and wrote a three-page plot summary. From that, I was able to finish the novel.
I did not learn this lesson immediately, though. It took a couple more novels started and never finished because I couldn't work out the ending, novels that ended up languishing in the drawer (or more accurately a forgotten folder on the PC) because they were abandoned halfway through before I learned the value of plotting.
Having learned this lesson, I am now a die-hard fan of plotting. Before I start writing a new novel, I will begin by writing a three-page plot summary, detailing all the major events that take the story from beginning to end, and including thumbnail sketches of all major characters. From there, I will elaborate on that outline by writing a chapter-by-chapter plan. Only then do I start writing the first draft.
I have met writers who are in favour of 'pantsing', because they believe writing to be more exciting if their characters continue to surprise them. I would argue that just because you've got your plot planned doesn't mean that your characters don't surprise you. I write from a chapter outline but quite often, in writing the chapter, the character still goes off and does something unexpected. I liken the writing of a novel to a chapter plan to planning a journey. You know your start point and your end point, but even if you plan your route you might still take an unexpected turn or two along the way, and this is OK as long as you end up at the place you wanted to be. When I wrote the first draft of DEAD COOL, I was quite surprised to discover, three quarters of the way in, that the killer was actually a different person to who I thought it was. This meant I had to go back and amend the plot summary for the second draft, and rework to ensure that the correct killer was uncovered. And in doing so I discovered that some plot holes I had skated over in the first draft were very neatly filled in for the second draft.
A planned plot means that whenever I sit down for a writing session, I start knowing what's supposed to happen next. And since I have to fit my writing sessions in around the day job, I like the discipline of approaching each one with a plan.
I know that some writers really hate plotting. Ultimately you have to go with what works for you. My experience has taught me that I'm a writer who needs to plot. Perhaps you have a different view?

I am afraid that I am in an enforced blogging hiatus. For reasons too complicated to go into, my (new) camera is broken. A lesson learned…. don't transport paint with a dodgy lid and a nice camera in the same bag and then drop it.
However…. I am thrilled to provide a link to a new blog on the block. ChilliNelson.

Remember when I was having an affair? Well, now it how grown in to a full blown CRUSH!
Perhaps it is because my beloved glass is all in Canada and I am here in Panama. Perhaps it is because of the textures (I have always had a fondness for textiles…). And I love colour. I REALLY love colour. So I am playing with colour by dyeing silks.
The Luma Shop is still "cerrado" as I get details sorted out. But stay tuned for an updated shop in the coming weeks!!
Oh swoon… I am happy over here!

SCOTT COUNTY, IOWA - The Scott County Conservation Board is a busy place these days. That's where it's preparing for two major upgrades at West Lake Park and Scott County Park over the next few years.
West Lake Park is working with a consulting engineer to design the first phase of a restoration project. The work is expected to take more than two years.
Iowa is picking up 75% of the estimated $3.5 million dollar cost.
Crews will drain, dredge and rebuild each of the four lakes, among other chores like restocking fish. The lakes have already exceeded its 35-year lifespan.
"It will improve watershed management and silt control," said Marc Miller, deputy director at the Scott County Conservation Board, on Thursday, December 7.
Over at Scott County Park, demand for space is inspiring plans for a new campground.
The $1.5 million dollar project will be designed to meet the needs of larger campers. It will feature 48 spaces that offer full service for sewer, electricity and water.
Currently in a preliminary design phase, work is expected to take a couple of years.

Have you ever had a moment where you realize that you are involved in an activity that violates God's Law and you are not sure what to do? Have you ever felt helpless or hopeless because you are not sure what to do. If so consider this thought
It is not falling into the water,
but lying in it, that drowns.
When I look at this I can't help but think how it can help us when we fall into temptation and sin. This is a reminder that it is not the falling that creates loss, it is not doing anything about it or remaining in the water (sinful act). There is hope as long as you are willing to remove yourself from this situation. The important thing is to act before running out of time. The Bible clearly teaches us that it is not the falling into sin…

For the past two years, I noticed it increasing. Within 6 months, it went up by RM 1….and then by another 50 sen within a year.
Sounds like something you hear in a mamak right? But nope, I'm not talking about roti canai here.
Rather, I'm talking about the cost of parking. Specifically for this example, the open parking near the intersection of Jalan Stonor and Jalan Kia Peng.
RM 4 per day equates to about RM 80 a month whereas RM 5.5 a day equates to RM 110 per month….an increase of RM30 within 18 months. Gila ke tak gila??Noticed a trend?? Yep, within a span of 18 months, the cost of parking just increased a total of 25%. ..freaking 25%! That's probably like 5 years worth of salary increments! And this is where it gets interesting.
FYI, the prices quoted above where for parking lots with rates per entry. What about those parking lots with rates per hour? Check out the latest tier-based parking hikes below:
Parking rates are doubled if you stay/work in the outskirts of KL (Tier 3) and tripled if you live just outside the city centre (Tier 2). But if you are in the city centre and places like Bangsar, Mont Kiara and Sri Hartamas (Tier 1), you're in for a real treat.
Assuming you work from 9 am – 6 pm, the difference between the old fare structure and the new one can be staggering!
And remember, the numbers above are rates per day. Multiple them by 20 working days a month and you can expect to pay a sum ranging from RM 180 to RM 520. And that is huge chunk of money to set aside for parking…a part of your salary gone just like that.
Of course, it's still nothing compared to other Asian cities, they say….*cough* thanks Najib! *cough*
How many of us struggle to keep up with parking price hikes? Any thoughts?

She was beautiful. She had visited many of the places that I had visited (Western North Carolina) in particular. Moreover, she was athletic. She had completed several marathons and triathlons. She had traveled extensively internationally. She was interested in self-reliance and homesteading. She sent *me* a message and wanted to meet *me* – I was stunned that a woman like this even existed in this world. She was beautiful. At that time, I was living in San Diego, which was several hours from Palm Springs. We began exchanging messages and then I asked her if she'd like to have a "phone date" – she agreed. We spoke on a Friday night as she drove to Yuma to visit her father who lived there. We spoke for the entire duration of her drive there which was approximately three hours. It was amazing, I felt like I was in high school again.
We continued these phone dates for a couple of weeks and I told her about the trip I had planned to Joshua Tree and that we could likely meet up in person as I was going to be near the area. I asked her if she might like to join me up there for conversation over campfire and a walk under the moonlight. I did not expect her to agree to it…I mean, who the hell meets a stranger in a remote National Park with no cell phone service? To my surprise, she decided to make the one hour trip to Joshua Tree. She stayed the night up there with me, but did not share my tent with me. The following morning she helped me pack up camp and then as we were leaving, we were kind of rushed out of our campsite by a couple of jerk climbers who got a late start and were hassling us about being all goo-goo gaa-gaa, so we decided to go into town and say our final goodbyes over a milkshake.
During that time, we exchanged the books that we were reading with each other and wrote a haiku for the other person in the book that we were giving on the condition that we could not read it until we departed. I felt like I was falling in love with this girl, because she was actually interested in everything that my hopelessly romantic mind could think of and discuss with her. As we finished our milkshakes and haikus, I walked her to her car in the parking lot and we talked about possibly meeting again sometime – or at the very least keeping in touch and remaining friends. The distance seemed to be an issue but we agreed to simply cross those bridges if/when they came. We gave each other a hug…which turned out to last a very long time and was a very deep and genuine hug. She snuck in a kiss and gave me a peck on the lips before she ran off to the drivers seat.
I was swooning. I had died and gone to heaven. The girl that I didn't think was interested in me…might actually be interested in me. Over the next few weeks and months, we stayed in touch and she came down to visit me on a couple separate occasions. She drove great distances to see me, just to spend a couple hours with me to walk on the beach and watch a sunset. Eventually she came and spent the night at my house. These short visits continued. We spent ours and days together dreaming of a future together, discussing homesteading and off grid living. It was incredible. She was incredible. I even drove to Yuma to meet her father the week before she left for her Ironman Triathlon. Her father had given me his nod of approval for dating his daughter. We were planning our future together. I was convinced I had found my future wife.
<I began writing about Step 7 of The Start Experiment and somehow I have spent a considerable amount of time reminiscing about these series of events. During my last 5 minute break, I thought about why this was taking place. In Part 1 of my "Playing with Ketchup" posts I wrote, "After several welcome distractions throughout the day, phone calls from people wanting to talk and help them process some of the life challenges they were going through…I finally sat down around 1:30 to write." These challenges that I discussed with this person were relationship challenges – specifically a breakup. This talk got me to thinking about my recent breakup and how this impacted my life. Clearly…it did. Otherwise, I wouldn't be writing multiple blog posts about it. That's a little bit of back story behind the content of these posts and how it all relates to Step 7 of The Start Experiment. >
Susan left about a week before the event to drive up there with her father and all her gear. As Susan's parents were divorced – her mother was flying in to support her as well. An Ironman is no small feat. I had recently completed a marathon and that required a considerable amount of training. I couldn't imagine running a marathon AFTER a 2.4 mile swim AND a 112 mile bike ride. The event was likely going to take her 15-16 hours to complete. I was so impressed by this woman. During the week prior to her event, we didn't have much correspondence. I spoke to her the day after the event and she seemed…distant. I chalked all of this up to nerves and sheer exhaustion. I didn't really think much of it. Besides, she was also spending time with her divorced parents.
The following week, she went sightseeing throughout Glacier National Park with her father and spent some time in Montana at ranch owned by one of her father's friends. Again, I had limited correspondence with her, but there was limited cell phone reception in the area where she was – so I tried not to think much of it. However, I had a growing suspicion that something was "up." Something just didn't seem right. There was a "tone" in her text messages. I *really* tried not to read too much into it, because it's easily done with text messages and that is always a mistake. However, I just had a feeling in my gut that there was something going on. I'm not sure why…but I could feel it. Her and her father returned home to Yuma on a Saturday in late June. We talked briefly that day and agreed to talk more on the following Sunday. She was tired from many hours on the road.
Pomodoro up.
Stay tuned.

The mud is drying up, which means it's time for another round of snow. Winter is planning to descend on us again tonight, but in spite of that the weekend was fairly nice. Unfortunately, other than a stint of fence-fixing and the usual feeding routine, I didn't get much horse time in this weekend.
T and G and I spent Saturday morning identifying the trouble spots in the electric fence and making sure that all wires are appropriately tight and hot. The horses weren't real pleased to be locked in the upper lot for the duration, but after three of them made repeat appearances in the pasture next to the one they were supposed to be in (with no gates open or down) it was pretty apparent that some of the stinkers have discovered and embraced the fine art of fence crawling.
Since that just isn't acceptable, and the spring grass is just too darn tempting for them to stop on their own, it was time to get serious about zapping their sneaking noses. They're now much safer, and although not pleased about it, much more respectful of the fence. Having the current back on should keep the deer out of it, too.
Other than that, it was a fairly uneventful weekend. I spent much of it working on a presentation. PowerPoint is such fun....

Hehe. I wonder what that looks like?
My barn recently put in some electric fencing and my horse got his first experience with it. He wasn't too pleased either! No more mutual grooming over the fence with his girlfriend anymore.

A necklace and earrings set in AAA+ black Onyx beads, 8mm & 5mm, with the most unusual handmade lampwork boro glass beads, made by a true artist. The combination of these and the jet black, shiny Onyx is stunning and has an elegant yet slightly Victorian Gothic feel.
The necklace length is 17½ inches (44.45 cm) and is finished with a sterling silver S-shape clasp. The earrings are 2¼ inches (5.7 cm) in length and have leverback wires in sterling silver, for pierced ears. The focal cross is 1¼ inches (4.45 cm) and the earring crosses are ¾ of an inch (1.9 cm). Your monitor and mine may vary.
Culross Creations jewellery is designed and made by me, as unique pieces. While I have a designer's desire to create the unusual, I also love making classic pieces as well. These classics, like a simple pearl strand, have been repeated for centuries. My mantra is to create beautiful handmade and bespoke jewellery at affordable prices, using the best natural gemstone materials available, coupled with precious metals. I sometimes use special Artisan glass beads. I have a pret-a-porter collection listed and I also undertake bespoke work for customers at their request, to be listed when complete. Wherever possible, on request, I will alter the ready-to-wear items to fit. Vintage items (original and lovingly repaired) are not my designs; however, I do use genuine, uncirculated vintage components to create unique modern jewellery.
Combined postage is available for multiple purchases. If you are not in the UK, please ask for a quote. I always use signed-for postal services. I do sometimes re-use Jiffy bags, to be environmentally conscious and to reduce packaging costs - your purchase will be just as safe in transit. I can also be contacted on Skype - please ask for details.

TWO researchers at Charles Sturt University Bathurst will use a "smart shirt" to explore the physical demands on early childhood teachers.
The Hexoskin wearable technology can, among other things, measure a person's heart rate and the number of steps they take in a day.
Associate Professor Sandie Wong and Dr Tamara Cumming, from the CSU School of Teacher Education, will lead a team in the research being undertaken with more than 30 educators.
Professor Wong said the Hexoskin shirt, which looks like a sleeveless rash vest, has sensors embedded to monitor and record biometric data at one-second intervals.
"Hexoskin smart shirts allow us to measure educators' heart and breathing rates, their number of steps and activity intensity over the course of a day's shift," Professor Wong said.
"For the first time, we expect to be able to quantify how hard educators work during their day, and what the particular stresses are on their bodies."
Professor Wong and Dr Cumming will use the Hexoskin data in combination with tests of educators' salivary cortisol levels (to determine stress levels), general health checks and a survey of the educators' psychological well-being and work environment quality.
"Using this multi-disciplinary approach we will get a holistic picture of educators' well-being, and that will help us to best target our efforts to find effective interventions," Dr Cumming said.
The pilot project is being funded by the CSU Faculty of Arts and Education.

Hello Region H! There are two deadlines coming up for the WE 13 Convention.
1. Housing Deadline
Rooms in Baltimore are going fast and space at hotels with special WE13 rates is limited – in fact some hotels are sold out. Book your room now because after this Friday, September 20, availability will be limited and you may be farther from the action; the hotels in the WE13 block are mostly within walking distance of five blocks or less. Continuous shuttle service will be offered to all WE13 block hotels that are more than one block walking distance.
2. Early Bird Registration Deadline
WE13 will truly be valuable to you, but if you don't register before the early bird registration rates expire on Friday, September 27 you miss out on valuable registration savings – up to nearly 28% off the cost of on-site registration.* Register today!
*Savings vary depending on attendee type. See all registration info here
I can't wait to see all of you in Baltimore!
