Guys! Get BACK ON THE HORSE!!!!
I remember the good old days of survival horror, Cry of Fear was huge especially for gaming YouTubers and nothing that's come out since then has quite felt the same...
You guys make AMAZING Games/Mods and I would ******* love to see something new from you!
Give it some consideration?
A Fan.
Do you guys have any game art or wallpapers we can download? I am a huge fan of AOM and Cry of Fear. Would love to have that on my desktop. :)
It's been a while. Would love to play some other games like "Afraid of Monsters" & "Cry of Fear". These devs got skills!
Disbanded ?
As a Cry of Fear fan, I would kill to see this game brought to Source engine. Would've been a maastapeece!
I am a huge fan of Team Psykskallar. I remember first playing Afraid of Monsters in 2005, I played usually on the weekends for about six months, and I loved every bit of it, I followed every post, learning about a new game the developers where working on. It came out in 2012 as a mod, then was released as a standalone in 2013, it was probably the best game I've ever played to this day, the game was Cry of Fear, it was like the perfect upgrade of Afraid of Monsters, and I couldn't stop playing. The atmosphere, the models, the story, I was really surprised that it was a half life 1 mod. I watched as new things got added to the game, models and bug fixes made the game so much better, I can't exaggerate how godlike I thought this game was. co-op was released, and I played it with a few of my friends. Unfortunately co-op servers aren't up anymore, but I still find enjoyment playing solo to this very day.
I really wanted to contact the developers, I really couldn't find much, every forum was pretty much dead, I almost thought I was the only person still into these games. I came across the cry of fear website, and it led me here, I just want to say thanks, the developers made alot of people like me very happy, we all do look forward to new projects and developments. :)
To contact Andreas Ronnberg was not difficulty, i send it a msg to the cry of fear forum and to his facebook page and he answered me, all the times... now for the other members idk
Huge admirer of Cry of fear! me and my friend had many countless hours pooping our pants playing that game as well as lots of laughs. looking forward to further projects from you guys!

A post shared by cindy sherman (@_cindysherman_) on
Is it any wonder that Cindy Sherman, the artist famous for her eerie self-portraits, is a master of Instagram?
The artist has been taking selfies longer than social media stars like Kim Kardashian have been alive, and scrolling through her Instagram feed — which she just recently made public — is proof enough of that. The selfies on her site range from the bizarre (like this one of her in a hoodie with a dreamy, glazed expression), to the farcical (we think she may have been having too much fun with her filters here), to the normal? (no filter!).
Sherman also has some other Instagram staples on her feed, like food shots, animal videos and pretty pictures of a flower garden.
We've picked out our favorite shots below, but you can check out all of her posts on her feed @_cindysherman_

Pressure testing the .45 Colt Wildcat load (Clays/grits/200LRNFP)
The data on 8/24/07 (12 weeks after loading) indicates that the pressure for the Clays/grits load remains at a safe pressure as compared to the Magtech Cowboy 45-250 reference. Two values are shown for the reference. The Mp has the powder at the primer. The Mb has the powder at the bullet. The SASSwire data shows 20.5 K psi at 12 weeks. I'll test at 14 weeks to see if there's a continual slow degradation of the Clays/grits load as determined by an earlier test of ammo loaded for 18 months.
All loading manuals warn reloaders not to use fillers with smokeless powder. However, I learned that a couple of Clays/Grits loads were developed and continue to be used. The .45 Colt Wildcat (named by Coyote Cap) uses 3.8 grains of Clays, Quick Grits to the bell of the case, and a 200 grain LRNFP bullet. My personal load for the Wildcat used 3.6 grains of Clays. My presentation of test data is for information only and is not to be construed as a recommendation for use by anyone.
So, why use such a load? Well, most every CAS competitor will try to reduce loads in the .45 Colt and the result is lots of blowback in the revolvers (difficult cleaning) and particulate in the face in rifles like the Uberti 1873 replica. With the Clays/Grits load, there isn't any blowback!
A recent thread in the SASSwire indicated that this 3.8 grain Clays load was not safe because the pressure over time increased from about 10.5K psi to 24K psi over 14 weeks. The maximum SAAMI pressure for .45 Colt is 14K psi. The data presented in the thread indicated 14.5K psi at 6 weeks after reloading. At 8 weeks, the pressure was almost 17K psi. The Thompson Contender I use for testing will tolerate pressure far in excess of 30K psi. An Old Ruger Vaquero will tolerate similar pressure. Colt and clones will not!
I had quite a few Wildcat loaded with 3.6 grains of Clays/Grits and aged about 18 months. The brief testing I did indicated that the pressure was very low and likely the ammo had deteriorated.
My next objective was to try to duplicate the SASSwire thread data. I'm at 10 weeks and haven't been able to duplicate the SASSwire data.
The crude chart shows the SASSwire pressure points with a "J". The Magtech Cowboy 45-250 I use as a reference pressure are indicated with an "M". My Wildcat load used 4.0 grains of Clays to assure that the pressure (marked with a "JTB") would be higher than the original 3.8 grains. It's important to note that my data is presented in Oehler pressure units and the actual CUP or PSI is not known. The Magtech factory ammo is assumed to comply with SAAMI standards. As long as my Oehler test results show the Wildcat load to have less Oehler pressure units than the Magtech reference, I accept that the Wildcat load is less than the SAAMI maximum pressure for the cartridge. I'll try to clean up the chart later.
From the crude chart, you can see that the SASSwire data (marked with a J) increases over time such that one must conclude that the ammo is unsafe at 6 weeks after loading. Many cowboys left the playing field saying "I told you so!" But, the Fat Lady isn't finished singing yet.
For my test, every Wildcat pressure (marked with an JTB) test shows to be less than the Magtech Cowboy 45-250 (marked with a M). To date, the Wildcat pressure is certainly less than the SAAMI maximum. With the 7/18 and the 8/6 data, I was careful to position the Magtech Cowboy powder at the primer. This increases the reference pressure significantly. The pressure with the powder the bullet, reduces the results by 3K Oehler pressure units.
At this time, the reason for the change in pressure at each test day is unknown. This variation makes use of a reference load of critical importance. At least I think I have an understanding of why the reference load pressure was so variable.
I'll continue to update the chart over time as I have several hundred Wildcat cartridges reloaded. It's too early to say if the Wildcat load will increase over time. My suspicion is that the load will deteriorate over time. I'll repeat the tests at a later date and include velocity measurements.
As a final comment, I have used .45 Autorim with 2.7 grains of Clays and grits to the bell under a 160 grain LRNFP bullet in my Ruger Vaqueros for several years in both practice and CAS matches. I tested Cowboy .45 Special ammo with the .45 Autorim and found the pressure to be less than the Magtech reference ammo over time. The Cowboy .45 Special brass is identical in every respect to the .45 Autorim excepting the rim.
In my '73 lever rifle, I use a modification of the Wildcat load (.45 Colt brass) by using the 160 grain LRNFP rather than the 200 grain LRNFP bullet and kept the 3.6 grains of Clays with grits to the bell. The pressure has never reached the offset of 7000 psi for .45 Colt brass.
More later . . .

Have you ever looked at a large pile of tin cans — flattened for recycling — and thought they must be good for something other than filling up the trash bin?
Well, you're right! With tinsnips, a pair of needle-nosed pliers and your own fertile imagination, you can turn that heap of metal into a collection of custom cookie cutters that will rival store-bought cutters costing 50 cents apiece or more. The variety of shapes is limited only by your inventiveness and dexterity.
First, check your supply of empty tins. The cans that most vegetables, fruits and pet foods come in are about the right size for star and heart shapes. Gingerbread men and animal outlines will require something larger, perhaps 1- or 2-pound coffee cans.
Once emptied, the containers should be thoroughly washed and the labels, tops and bottoms removed. (Most can openers take off the ends without leaving sharp metal edges, but check carefully to make sure, and discard any cans with jagged rims.) Flatten the resulting cylinders, and use tinsnips to cut an inch-wide strip from the top and another from the bottom. These closed, double strips will be bent into shapes for the cookie cutters. (Return the center portions to the scrap pile until you can come up with a use for them!)
A heart-shaped cutter is probably the easiest to make and the best to start with. Simply pull the flattened circle of metal apart in the center to make a football shape, and then bend one of the pointed ends inward. With needle-nosed pliers, it's no kick at all.
Cookie cutters with fancier shapes will be easier to bend if you mark fold lines on the strips while they're still flattened. For example, to make a five-pointed star, divide the strip into five equal parts and scratch or ink the lines on both sides.
Next, pull the strip into a football shape and bend one of the end points inside, just as you did for the heart. Now, bend the metal alternately in and out at the marks all around the strip. Make gentle bends at first. You can perfect the shape on a second go-around.
Crescent moons, six-pointed stars and trees are other good forms to practice on. For gingerbread men, animals, letters and other more complex designs, you may want to draw a pattern first and use string, thin wire or paper strips to determine where the bends will need to be made.
After you've completed a few cutters, it's time to get cooking and try them out. (Be sure to use the shaper's sharp edge down for efficient dough-cutting and hand protection.) And maybe this Christmas, instead of taking just a plate of cookies over to the neighbors, you can present them with a plate of cookie cutters as well!
EDITOR'S NOTE: You may want to wear gloves when working on this project, as the cans are quite sharp and prone to splinter when cut. A further suggestion: File the edges smooth and wash the cutters carefully — to remove any loose metal bits — before you use them.
My father made all of my mother's cookie cutters this way 60 years ago. I have all of these specialized cutters now in my kitchen.
The leftover centers would make great rings around tiny plants to foil any cutworms.

This last Sunday, a group of us met up at the Pier in Port Townsend to dive the Wreck of the SS Governor aboard the Lu Jack's Quest, Captained by Phil Jensen. The trip was planned by Ron Akeson, of Adventures Down Under, in Bellingham, Wa.
The Divers were Ron Akeson, Randy Williams, Dave Hancock, Rob Wilson, Paul Hangarter, Dan Warter, Mark Theuney, Dale (?), and myself, Josh Smith. Benjamin (BJ) Nussbaum was our excellent safety diver and deckhand. Interestingly, all the divers were on Megalodon closed circuit rebreathers except for Paul and BJ, who dove open circuit. This was to be my first dive on the Governor. I have dived wrecks this deep before, but not under these conditions. I've been hearing stories about how difficult this dive can be for years, and my anticipation was matched with an equal measure of apprehension as we got started loading the boat- I hadn't slept as well as I would have liked the previous night.
After loading the mountains of gear required for dives like these, we motored out onto the water in near ideal conditions- bright and sunny, but not too hot, with calm seas!
Arriving over the wreck coordinates, we had a little time to wait before slack, so we idled around the general area while everyone went over their equipment, talking and cracking jokes. The wreck site is very close to the inbound shipping lanes, and we saw several huge cargo ships go past while we waited for the "pool" to open. Even though we had cleared these dives with the Puget Sound Vessel Traffic System, the proximity of these huge ships to the dive site presents a potential hazard. The wreck of the Governor is not the deepest wreck in the Sound, at 240' fsw, but she is widely regarded as one of the most challenging; perhaps only eclipsed by the Admiral Sampson.
The Governor sank in 240 fsw in March of 1921 after colliding with the West Hartland after a series of pilot errors. For some good background information on the wreck, as well as film clips of this, and other Seattle area wrecks, please visit http://www.dcsfilms.com.
BJ and Captain Phil were able to set the hook in the wreck fairly easily, and we attached the buoys and deco station. We quietly watched the current sizzle past the floats, creating a wake behind them, and creating the illusion that the floats were moving quickly through the water. This site is located at the entrance to Puget Sound, off Point Wilson, between Port Townsend and Whidbey Island. The currents here are notoriously strong. Typically, this wreck is only dive-able 2 or 3 days a year, and trips are planned well in advance. Ron Akeson has spent huge amounts of time studying the local current patterns, and has an excellent track record for predicting the time windows for good diving....but the currents can still be very treacherous and unpredictable. A diver who looses the line will be in a very hazardous situation, and at risk of drifting into the shipping lanes, or swept off to god knows where!
Gradually, the currents seemed to ease, and we started gearing up. Teams of 2 and 3 went in, one at a time. Paul, Mark, and myself were the last team in, and we ran a little late due to some gear issues with the divers in front of us. As we began our descent, it quickly became apparent that what was going to pass for slack was a fairly stiff current. We had to power down the line hand over hand, and it was a chore, to say the least- I'm thinking more than ever about getting a scooter, now. As I approached 200' the wreck came into view. She has collapsed somewhat over the 87 years since she went down, but the large steel ribs that framed the hull are still mostly intact- they look almost like the ribcage of a whale, sticking up in the green-black water. The wreck seemed absolutely massive-stretching off as far as I could see, or my light could penetrate, in all directions.The other teams had moved away from the line, but we could see their lights dancing around the wreck off in the distance. Visibility was decent- I'm guessing it was 30-40'. I was breathing a little harder than I would have liked from the effort of pulling myself down the line, so we took a minute at the tie-in to collect ourselves.
After tying off our reel, we started to move away from the line, and almost instantly, we came across a large pile of china and other glassware. Apparently, a storage cabinet had been in this location- the wooden cabinet long gone, the contents spilled out into the wreck. The owner of the wreck does not allow any trophy taking or salvage from the site, so we left everything where we found it. I was moved by the sight of all the tableware sitting there, thinking about the well to do passengers who had held these same relics, sipping champagne and enjoying fine dining, the people who had washed them, put them back in their proper places on the ship, and the others who had lost their lives in the collision.....all those years ago. It made the wreck seem all the more "alive" to me, in some way. We had a small tangle in our guide reel, and after sorting it out, I looked at my computer and saw that we were very close to 20 minutes of bottom time, and the current seemed to be increasing. I decided that I would rather do the deco on the 20 minute profile we had cut, instead of the 25 minute one, under these conditions, so I thumbed the dive.
The ascent was the toughest one I have ever done. The current had us clinging to the line and flapping like flags in a stiff wind. After we were back on the boat, most of the more experienced guys told me they had done worse on this wreck. "Really?" I said, with wide eyes. "Well, not on purpose." was the reply. I had a good laugh over that one. For the next 40 minutes or so, we gradually worked our way up onto the deco station, switching arms, using both hands, and occasionally putting the line into the crook of an elbow, watching detritus in the water fly past us. Finally, Randy, the last man up, managed to cut the deco station free from the up-line- it was rigged with a shackle, but there was so much force pulling the deco station away from the main line that he couldn't disengage it. What a sweet relief it was to finally drift free with the current, instead of fighting against it! The boat them moved into a protective posture around our floats, and a short while later, BJ came drifting down the line in his orange drysuit, exchanging "OK" signs with each diver. It's a huge comfort to know that you have an experienced diver topside with no deco obligation to worry about, who can bring you more gas to breathe in the event of an emergency! Thanks again, BJ! 90 minutes after we dropped down, we finally broke the surface.
Back on the boat, we all laughed and exchanged tales of our respective dives- a few cold adult beverages were passed around, and we pulled our floats back up and headed back to PT.
Mark had arranged for some rooms at a hotel run by a friend of his at a discounted price. (Thanks again, Mark!) After settling in to our rooms, we headed back to the boat where captain Phil was grilling a salmon- we added some burgers and corn to the mix, and had a great meal while we watched the sunset, and prepped our gear for the next day's dive. (I heard a rumor that a few of our party closed the Hotel bar down that night, but details remain vague....)
We had a very civilized departure time of 10AM on Monday, so we had time for a nice leisurely breakfast. We then headed out into an absolutely perfect day, weather-wise. Bright sun, clear skies, and just a faint breeze. Again, when we set the hook and dropped the floats, the water started to boil behind them. The current actually looked even stronger that the day before! At that point, I started to seriously wonder if I wanted to repeat the deco hang I had had the day before. But after conferring with my dive buddies, and watching the current settle down over the next hour, I decided to give it a shot. Boy, am I ever glad I did! We dropped down the line again, but this time there was no discernible current. Approaching depth, the wreck came into view again- we were tied in about 1/3 of the way back from the bow, near our previous day's tie-in. This time, the hook was set down inside the hull. We swam down into a sort of "bowl" described by the ribs of the bow. Wreckage was strewn all over, with many identifiable objects- china, silverware, brass stanchions, bottles, vases, and other, less recognizable bits of steel.... I felt as if we were swimming through an underwater museum.... Visibility was great again, and we wandered around the inside of the hull this way and that- we were briefly in and out of overheads, but it really wasn't a "penetration" dive. We could make out where bulkheads had been by the thickening of the layers of wreckage on the floor, as well as structural steel columns that remained in places. On this dive, we didn't use a reel- the strobes were suspended 10 feet or so above us, and we had plenty to explore within easy visual distance of them. At one point, we disturbed a gigantic Ling Cod that shot by us- for a split second, I thought it was a large dog running past, before my brain was able to sort it out- I had plenty of helium in my Dil bottle, but I felt hugely narced for a moment! All too soon, our bottom time was over, and we began our ascent. What a difference a day makes! I didn't feel a whisper of current this time, and I didn't even realize that the deco station had been released when that happened! It was a spectacular dive; for me, it was an epic dive. I'm glad I got to have both kinds of dives on the Governor- the easy one and the hard one. I can't wait to do it again!
Topside, there was much celebration, although a few guys said they had had better dives the previous day- they had been on scooters, and dropped down the outside of the wreck and hid from the current, apparently.
It was an awesome trip, not just because of the dives and the conditions- the people and personalities made it great as well. That many people crowded onto a smaller boat have to get along, and everyone present had a great attitude and good humor throughout.
Again, special thanks go out to Ron, for putting the trip together, Captain Phil, for superb boat handling and Salmon grilling, and BJ, deckhand and safety diver extraordinaire! (Side note- BJ just couldn't take it any more- he's headed off to take trimix this weekend! I expect we'll be needing to replace him soon!)

This work is my interpretation of the proverb "Like father like son". At first I was looking just for a way to visually imply this statement but realized more points of view. What does it mean to you? Why is it so? Who is responsible for it? The son or the father? Is it imposed or chosen? Often an imposed will breaks the pure character of a child or, in better cases, starts a rebellion against parents.

Technical Analysis – Is Not Technical
Spread trading using technical analysis is perhaps the most popular way to bet on future price movements. Technical analysis is used in some degree by most professional traders and investment institutions which make up a significantly powerful group of market movers. It is due to the fact that these participants are highly influential in market movements, dictating the supply and demand of currencies and stock, which makes the form of analysis that they use becomes so important to understand.
Technical Analysis
Technical analysis used in spread betting is based on the historic movement of price as seen on a the price charts supplied free by most brokers. It involves the understanding of particular patterns and recurring scenarios which indicate where price will move in the near future. Spread traders can use technical analysis successfully to generate profits and develop strategies to trade in line with the majority of other traders. Since trading is about allowing you to trade with the highest probability of success possible, it makes sense to be observing and trading with the majority of the big players in a market. For these reasons, technical analysis, becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy; basing itself less on the natural outcome of a particular pattern but more as a desired outcome by a large number of traders.
Spread trading with technical analysis involves the careful study of price charts and a reasonable understanding of the patterns which will offer an explanation of price. Although there are hundreds of potential formations and patterns on a price chart, there are several technical set-ups which are the most common and considered the most successful to trade. These patterns can form over long periods of time or very quickly on intraday charts. Since different timeframes will represent different chart patterns, technical traders tend to apply the most significance to technical patterns which occur on the most popular timeframes. These can be considered as the daily, hourly, fifteen and five minute harts. This does not mean that the other timeframes will produce irrelevant patterns but, again, maintaining the highest probability of success requires spread traders to be reading from the same page.
Some of the most basic and reliable technical patterns will be available to learn free on your brokers website or one of he many forums providing educational material to new traders. The patterns which can be seen to occur in the markets most frequently can easily be studied and back tested to test their level of success. These patterns include simple trend lines and support and resistance levels to head and shoulders and double top formations. These patterns present themselves frequently and spread betting on the direction that they dictate is an easy way to profit from them. Many of the patterns also have a natural zone in which a stop-loss can be placed which minimises the negative impact on your account should the pattern fail. Since probability is on your side that the trade will be a success it is important to apply a reasonable reward to risk ratio in order to benefit from having this on your side.
Spread trading using technical analysis is an exciting and popular way to trade. The fact that it is straightforward to learn whilst being observed and applied by many traders in the underlying market adds to its success. By learning the basics of technical analysis, traders can interpret price charts and spot opportunities to place bets before the price begins to move. Even for spread traders who prefer to use other methods of trading it is important to have a general understanding of technical analysis in order to also spot what a large number of traders will be looking out for.

Judge questions wisdom of $10 restitution to Dunkin' Donuts in Newfields bogus bill caseBy JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
September 12. 2017 4:54PM
BRENTWOOD — A Newfields woman accused of selling fentanyl to a man who later died of an overdose was in court Tuesday to plead guilty to using a counterfeit $10 bill to buy coffee at Dunkin' Donuts, but the restitution she'll be paying raised the judge's eyebrows.
Rockingham County Superior Court Judge Andrew Schulman questioned whether it really made sense to require 37-year-old Jennifer Bonner to pay $10 in restitution to Dunkin' Donuts since it would cost more than that for probation to handle the $10 repayment.
Schulman said he feels "it's going to cost everybody more than $10 to process."
"It seems that principle and reality have a bad meeting point because it's only $10," he said.
Bonner is currently behind bars after she was indicted in May in a separate case on one count of acts prohibited with death resulting, a felony charge that carries the possibility of life in prison.
Bonner is accused of selling fentanyl to 39-year-old Christopher Marmat, of Newmarket. Marmat died Jan. 10 after authorities said he used the drug.
Randy Bonner, 36, was also indicted on one count of conspiracy to commit acts prohibited and accomplice to acts prohibited.
According to the indictments, Randy Bonner allegedly agreed with Jennifer Bonner to make the drug sale.
She also faces one count of acts prohibited related to the sale of less than one gram of fentanyl after previously being convicted of a prior offense.
Bonner was also indicted on felony forgery charges related to using the counterfeit bills at the Newfields Dunkin' Donuts last December, but the forgery case was reduced to misdemeanor theft as part of her plea agreement.
Under the plea deal, Bonner was given a 12-month jail sentence with all but 20 days suspended for two years of good behavior. She is also banned from the Newfields Dunkin' Donuts and must pay the $10 restitution.
Despite Schulman's concerns, Assistant County Attorney Melissa Fales argued that restitution was reasonable, even in this case.
"I think victims should be made as whole as possible and restitution is one way to do that," she said.
Schulman said it would be "crazy" to have the Department of Corrections involved in processing the restitution so he ordered that Bonner make the payment directly to Dunkin' Donuts.

Search kinda sucks at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Powell's,
July 6th, 2008 8:08 pm by Vincent Flanders
I entered the following into Amazon's search box: How Can I Talk If My Lips Won't Move. Amazon said:
Your search "How Can I Talk If My Lips Won't Move: " did not match any products.
The only mistake I made consisted of one letter — Don't instead of Won't. I'm sorry, but that's just unacceptable. I tried the same search at Barnes & Noble and Powell's, but they couldn't find the book. Oh, Borders gets it right. Why did I search for the title? I couldn't remember the author's name: Tito Rajarshi Mukhopadhyay.
BTW, it's a great book about what it's like to be autistic.

text: A pillar of the Washington, D.C., modern and contemporary art communities, internationally acclaimed abstract painter Sam Gilliam has been testing the boundaries of color, form, texture, and the canvas itself over the course of his long, productive career. Filling canvases with fields of deeply saturated color and layers of expressionistic brushstrokes, both subtle and bold, Gilliam was a part of the Washington Color School (late 1950s through mid-'70s) and has been associated with the Abstract Expressionists. Ever the innovator, he took his color-stained canvases off of the stretcher in the late 1960s and presented them in radical new ways: draped across walls and hung from the ceiling in generous, folding layers. These sculpture-painting hybrids have become a defining part of Gilliam's practice and inflect all of his work with an ongoing exploration of the depth, physicality, and resonance of color.

A practical guide to the After Life
Published September 2013
What happens when you die? Why does everyone suddenly become so serious? God has a sense of humor, so why don't Theologians? If you need help with these questions, don't worry. John Farquhar has the answers. He asked the only people who really know: the dead themselves.
Farquhar's "research" is based on "over 14,000 conversations with the dead," rather than speaking with those who merely claim to have had near-death experiences. Farquhar paints a light, amusing picture of life on the Astral Plane. All these conversations have been reluctantly verified by the New Jersey Assembly of Spiritualists, Psychics, and Mediums, headquartered in Toms River.
Thanks to this "original research," Farquhar has drawn up the first comprehensive guide to the Great Beyond, which will have you laughing rather than gnashing your teeth. The fact is, if you are seeing people who you thought have been dead for years, you could be dead too. Or you might just be on the edge of consciousness at a Rolling Stones Comeback concert. Prepare to laugh your way to the Pearly Gates!

This gentleman is a cook. Though those marks on his arm are supposed to be scars, I think I've stumbled across a good way to render arm-veins as well. ~ 60 minutes
I sat down and sketched out five or six different roughs at the beginning of the week – this has been nice in that as soon as I sit down to draw I have something to work on. As most of these drawings are done before I've had a chance to drink my first cup of coffee in the morning It's been a welcome change. ~ 60 minutes

"David was on call the week of Sept. 8th. He received a phone call at about 2 a.m. about a flooding problem on campus. I believe God used that phone call to wake him up. When he looked out the front door, he realized our home was on the verge of flooding. The water at that time was about 20 feet from the front of our house, and the creek in the back yard was quickly rising. Within an hour the water was up to the door in both the front and back of the house."
"We woke the boys up and got them dressed. I know that God was with us because of how well both boys handled this. (Our daughter Tessa is now a student living on campus at UMHB, so she was not at the house.) We tried several exits and were able to get out the sliding glass door in our living room. The water at that time was up to the pockets of my shorts. We had about 4 to 5 feet of water in the house. Both of our cars flooded and the driver-side window of my car was shattered."
"We cleaned out our furniture and most of our other belongings from the house on Saturday, Sept. 11th. We lost almost everything; we were only able to salvage items that were in the tops of closets. It was an emotional day; I had to throw away most of my photo albums as well as precious items made by special people."
"When I arrived at the house the following Saturday, I was humbled by what I saw. Numerous staff, faculty, and students were tearing down walls, pulling out carpet, and busting up tile. During one portion of the day I was working in the garage when I heard praise songs coming from my game room. These amazing students were singing praise songs while they tore down walls. It blessed my soul! I called my daughter Tessa to let her 'hear' her classmates singing praises to our Heavenly Father. Then I told Tessa, 'I have always wanted to open our home to college students, and here they are!'"
"We have been blessed with a temporary place to live and have been loaned two cars to enable us to maintain our routines as much as possible. This experience is truly a faith builder. We have seen so many blessings—love poured out in countless, sweaty hours at our home. Many people have sacrificed their needs to meet ours."
— Susie Marek '96

Setting the Record Straight: PPIs Do Not Cause Dementia
New Gastroenterology research finds no convincing evidence to support the suggestion that proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) use increases dementia risk
Several studies have reported associations between proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) use and dementia. New research published on July 18 in Gastroenterology, the official journal of the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA), puts these claims to rest. The study authors report that there is no convincing evidence to support the suggestion that PPI use increases dementia risk. These findings are based on an analysis of 13,864 participants from the Nurses' Health Study II who completed testing on cognitive function, which is key predictor of the risk of dementia later in life.

Charlotte seeks Atty. Gen. ruling on marriage amendment, benefits
Charlotte seeks Atty. Gen. ruling on marriage amendment, benefits
Charlotte city leaders are asking the state attorney general to decide whether it's OK to offer same-sex partner benefits in light of the constitutional amendment that defines marriage solely as a union between a man and a woman.
The Charlotte Observer reported that the City Council voted Wednesday to seek the opinion from the office of Attorney General Roy Cooper.
City Manager Curt Walton had recommended that the city offer the benefits. He did so the day after voters overwhelmingly approved the constitutional amendment.
City Attorney Bob Hagemann says he doesn't know whether North Carolina municipalities will be able to offer benefits for same-sex partners in light of the amendment. Nine local governments already offer the benefits.

Yesterday, Breeze Harper posted on the Sistah Vegan blog about her frustration with White self-identified vegans who think race and racism isn't an issue. Breeze says:
I'm at the point that if I have friends who are not willing to engage in anti-racist activism and aren't questioning "whiteness as a pathology"( because it truly is part of the fabric of the USA foundational beliefs), I am going to start kicking them to the curb. Seriously, if you haven't noticed, your friend Breeze here is B-L-A-C-K! If my real lived experiences of racism STILL don't convince you that it's a problem in the USA ... I can no longer be your friend until you seek therapy for your pathology.
Luckily, there are several self-help resources available to assist those of us who are White in managing our individual, cultural and institutional racism. Artist and anti-racist activist Damali Ayo offers us The 12 White Steps to help us answer the nagging question: "But I'm White. What can I do about racism?"
It works if you work it. The 12 White Steps is a life-long endeavor. Any life-changing program is a daily process. It requires diligent awareness to launch a true awakening. Your program inhabits every corner of your life, even when you are not around peopel of color. In fact, it's the little moments that you have been taking for granted that will add up to huge successes
Preferably with the support of a sponsor, we can work our way through "The 12 White Steps." Ayo also offers us the resource of her I Can Fix It guide, which asks those of us who are White to start with five simple things we can do.
As Whites, we are each at different places in when it comes to our identity with race. No matter where we are, A Race is a Nice Thing to Have: A Guide to Being a White Person or Understanding the White Person in Your Life by Dr. Janet E. Helms is a great self-help guide through six basic phases of White identity. The goal is reach "Autonomy" where "the person is committed to being White, has an ideal view of what a nonracist White person is like, and is continually involved in the process of engaging in those activities and life experiences that will move the person toward her or his [or their] ideal."
Like any self-help program, these require persistent work. But if we're unwilling to do the work of addressing racism, then we better be prepared to face the music.

TRUMBULL, Conn. -- Trumbull mothers are awaiting the Connecticut General Assembly Public Health Committee's decision on Bill No. 5450, which would grant medical marijuana access to children, according to Trumbull Times.
The committee will review the bill at the upcoming March 16 meeting, Trumbull Times reported.
Bill No. 5450 would permit children with serious complex health issues to use an oil form of marijuana to treat life-threatening conditions, said Trumbull Times.
According to Trumbull Times, area mothers such as Joy O'Meara have testified about how the proposition would change and significantly improve the quality of life for children, such as her son Jamison, 7, who suffers from intractable epilepsy.

24 May FLATLAY FAVOURITES
Coming up to our first birthday I thought it was finally time to recap our budding first year in our favoutite type of square format: the famous flatlay. It was incredibly hard to narrow them down to a reasonable amount so I gave up and thought why hold back, after all it's what made us such a stand out in the blogging world.
In starting THE LUXURIANTE, I really wanted to focus on being different to the usual 'fashion blogger' that was around at the time. I mean if you look around, every second person is calling themselves a fashion blogger these days; so with a mission to put a huge emphasis on style rather than fashion I set out on my minimalistic journey. Here a year later and a stand out from the crowd, I can't say thank you enough to all of our followers, collaborative brands & fellow industry lovers. Without your support on what we are working towards we wouldn't be where we are today.
We speak a distinct language here, which is a luxurious yet affordable lifestyle voice that reflects Style rather than Fashion. THE LUXURIANTE is about the little luxuries that inspire and create the concept of enduring style.
So here's to another year using that very standpoint to create beautiful things for the modern day Voguette.

|Posted by Tenkara Flyfish on May 12, 2010 at 9:35 AM
Lilian is the name of the hollow braided string which is attached to the end of a Tenkara rod. The lilian is used to connect to the Tenkara fly line to the Tenkara rod.
The lilian is hollow, and is designed to slip over the end of the Tenkara rod tip. The first step is to dry fit the lilian onto the tip of the rod. This will help develop the opening in the lilian, making it easier to get started for the final assembly. Once you have the lilian dry fitted on the rod, don't completely remove it. Rather back it off, leaving about 1/8 - 1/16 still attached.
Apply a very thin layer of epoxy to the tip area of the Tenkara rod ahead of the still attached lilian. The epoxy will serve both as an adhesive as well as a lubricant to aid in slipping the hollow lilian over the rod tip. I have found that using a twisting motion helps to seat the lilian over the Tenkara rod tip. You will want to have about an 1 1/4 of overlap.
All that is left to do is to clean up any excess epoxy which was push out when seating the lilian,
and of course, be sure to let the epoxy thoroughly cure before using the Tenkara rod.

2,000 reads in two months!
Now, let's look to the future.
As hinted in a post earlier today, this is Planet of the Apes week, leading up to the release of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" on Friday. We're going to talk about the original 1968 movie and its sequels. We'll spend some time hashing out our thoughts about Tim Burton's remake. We're going to talk about Andy Serkis, the greatest motion capture actor ever (he's great as a real person, too.) And, of course, I'll be seeing the new movie on Friday.
We'll also have what I call a triple threat match pitting three major horror magazines against each other. I just have to finish reading the third 'zine in the pile. You can expect our two weekly features, Creepy By Association (Tuesdays) and Scary Song of the Week (Fridays) to continue. Feel free to share any suggestions you might have for those features.
Thanks again for reading and stayed scared!

i think we have finally moved from www.wildwithgarnish.wordpress.com….i hope everyone is enjoying the cooler layout and the story lines in pictures. i am loving it and am determined to publish better and more composite stories…. again thank you to all who have been following me for two years and i hope we have more fun…..!
i am in New York to see my directing reps and plan to show you some pics of the gorgeous food I've been cooking with my friend Tana who is training at Flinders Lane in the East Village with a really cool Australian chef Chris Rendell….Modern Australian cuisine and so delicious.com i had their sausage rolls with sambal mayo yesterday and was blown away…….especially as an australian….goes straight to the heart for me…childhood to adulthood…there are some foods that bring you straight home…and its sausage rolls for me….anyway check it out…. http://www.flinderslane-nyc.com
Tana and i worked her fridge the other night. buying up before i arrived in NYC she had some gorgeous friends over and we workshopped the fridge down to some gorgeous sides and a really cool rib eye….it follows
roasted and collapsed pure tomatoes, garlic shoots, ground red onion, lemon butter
vinegar soaked eggplant in biscuit crust with sweet white miso mirin
hommous, dry fry of chive and corn, cumin dust and sour shallots
fast roasted eggplant stuffed with hot mushroom salad
sprouts in ponzu, tomatillo, pepper and cucumber shred stack
green shred (asian cabbage hearts and leaves, celery, cilantro root, mint) with 3 vinegars and tamari
mozzarella, yellow beets and basil salad, with green chilli, beet fast fry and green apple oil
we also had the butter on our rare rib eye but had had too much red by then…..ooooooops…!
we sat down with friends ate everything at once…the most perfect selection of cool defined flavours that rock the palette but don't assault……the rib-eye was last on the table and there was no time to photograph…..we just had to eat….my bad?
you can imagine how much fun it is to work with someone who has your mind for adventure with food. most of these ideas were Tana driven and then i would slash a dressing or alter the shape of the vegetable, or stack the salad ingredients up against each other instead of mixing and tossing………she loves to play with shapes and order like me….the best…..
this food is so 'wildwithgarnish'…smooth, random, delicious, fun and free…….who says there are rules….?
the opera house sydney australia
I've been every where man! and its true…at least all the way around Australia……I've been shooting Virgin Tourism with Tourism Australia and we did 14 locations in 18 days…..unbelievable tour of what gorgeous things this country has on offer…not just as a tourist but food and wine! we went to Montalto Winery on the Mornington Peninsula, Bruny island Cheese and Get shucked on Bruny Island, Chow in Darwin, Frasers in Perth and many many other places of physical but also culinary beauty. Fresh gorgeous resources right here is Australia….im committing to show it all!
luna park sydney australia
I truly had an epiphany about the food this place and i feel i should showcase more of what this massive untouched gem of a country has on offer….for me to cook and also to visit……I'm going to be going to the US a lot more as well….ive singed up as a director with Giraldi media in New York to shoot beauty and food commercials and i plan to do some cooking with my gorgeous friend Tana Hardwick….we will extend my cooking and private chef work into New York….
so excited about this year…I'm going to go super nuts with the photography as well….some fine art food pics for buildings and hotels in on the cards as well……some more cookbooks (apart from the 7 on Kindle/Amazon) and some more of everything….more more more!!!
so to do a late kick off for 2014 here we go!!!
'the toaster' sydney harbour australia
i am really lucky. i have two jobs. three if you count my beautiful babies and being their mummy. i am private chef and cinematographer. i have done both for 30 years. its only the last couple of years that i started documenting my travels and the wonderful treats that i experience along the way. it is an education to travel and dine, and every country and every cuisine and the dining experience there, fuses my food back home with ideas and modernisms.
wild with garnish means all of this. madness with extra…..
this blog is a vechile for me to show and express both, the food and the photography study whilst i am there.
this is singapore recently. i went there to direct and shoot a vaseline commercial. i spent a lot of time in the hawker markets, watching them make the noodles, and the creation of food there everyday. i am obsessed and i love it.
when i am in production or shooting. we go and eat everywhere. the producer and team normally with me. however when the shoot is over and i am in post production and editing i am normally on my own and that when i get to explore.
and this is Bangkok….so incredible and an endless journey into flavour and fragrance. there is something about that incredible heat and the tanginess and bite of the chilli. its so compelling.
i do have a weak spot for asian food. i am a little obsessed and find every dish every time, incredible. simple executions, fresh food, fragrance and fragrance on top of that.
my love of food and the possibilities keep me thinking all day every day. it can get a bit weird…but who cares…right?
i have just spent the last few months shooting mad helicopter work in new zealand and i had the brilliant coincidence of being there for the bluff oysters. being a sydney-file i am biased towards the sydney rock, but i have to say, these are incredible.
they are not small, not big, less sea watery in flavour, but really creamy and pert. deliciously semi chewy but slippery and fresh. i am a huge fan. my location scout harry and i went to this gorgeous restaurant for lunch and dinner and had them both times. natural and tempura. incredible, addictive, everything.
i have been waiting a long time to eat a bluff oyster. australians guard their sydney rocks viciously but the new zealanders protect bluffs like their children.
harvested only between march and august in the Foveaux strait near the town of Bluff. a parasite knocked out approximately a billion of them between 2000 and 2003 so the harvesters have been limiting the catch since then to aid the revival. so they are not massively available. soooo, lucky for me i hit the right time and had them. incredible, and unforgettable.
also to note: we had them at the restaurant in queens town, Botswana Butchery. also delicious. fantastic New Zealand food. 17 marine parade, queens town. +6434426994
Baccamotto Osteria is my favourite dining of choice in sydney. i don't normally do reviews but i am going to have to with this one.i have been here many times now, lunch and dinner and it is still amazing. i am travelling and working at the moment and i miss my children and i miss this restaurant. well mainly the children…but anyway…..
owned by mauro marcucci and michael stevens, chef valerio boncompagni and designed by chris connell it has everything i need in an italian restaurant. made in house is the key here. gorgeous cannelloni, pickled onions, flat bread, liver puree, homemade foccaccia. plus the food is remarkably simple but cooked incredibly well. octopus tentacle has been tickled and teased so that is this single taste sensation nestled into a warm nest of potato. try giving any one anything of this dish. i have stolen most of everyone's tart but gorgeously sweet baby onions with garlic rubbed toasts, and hoarded the proscuitto with flat bread. significantly though, i am obsessed with the pork chop with white beans. every time, and failsafe. a modest but cranking pork chop rubbed in coriander seeds, crisped up and served on warm simple beans. oh…my…god. a smart raddichhio, orange and olive salad sprayed with good olive oil and sprinkled with salt and I'm done. others have had the salmon, the lamb etc but the main stealing goes to the cannelloni with fresh ricotta and nettles. if i wasn't so obsessed with the pork chop i would have the cannelloni but I'm too loyal and my breath quickens as it comes to the table. there was a remarkable custard tart to finish which we gave the baker a standing ovation for and my favourite, a simple washed rind goats cheese which we fought over viciously.
it is a small menu, which i love, the pasta is always perfect (the risotto with gamberi, ricotta and orange was a mind blast), they don't serve too much bread, which i love, and it is not overcrowded and noisy, which i love. oh and the wine list is perfect, and it wasn't expensive, ($60 per head for main, wine and cheese), which i love. Perfect dining
HOT TIP: have an aperol with prosceco and green olive to start. you will be the life of the party. i promise.
212 riley street Darlinghurst. ring to book. +612 92155140. great with big tables, drinks with the girls, or an intimate dinner. streamlined, busy, gorgeous. feels a bit new york but gorgeous dining in Sydney…..and i love that……

MUHAMMAD: No.
LAUREN: Sorry?
MUHAMMAD: No.
LAUREN: Is there something wrong?
MUHAMMAD: Yes. You are a woman.
LAUREN: Yeah, that's what my gynecologist tells me. Is there a problem with that?
MUHAMMAD: I do not take instruction from females.
LAUREN: Oh, I see. Well, I don't put up with shit from misogynists assholes, so we may have a problem here.
MUHAMMAD: You have no authority to instruct me. I will not only ignore your directives, I will do the opposite of what you instruct. Allah commands it.
LAUREN: Really? In that case I'd like you to not put your hands in the position I mentioned.
(Muhammad's hands immediately take their spot on the wheel.)
LAUREN: Wow, unattractive and dumb, you must do well with the ladies.
MUHAMMAD: The nine year olds love me.
LAUREN: Okay, that's not creepy or anything. So, before we get going I'd like you to tell me what kind of experience, if any, you have behind the wheel.
MUHAMMAD: Oh, I have much experience with the Wheel. It was my favorite form of torture for many years.
LAUREN: Torture? I'm confused.
MUHAMMAD: You're referring to the Breaking Wheel, correct? It's a large wooden wheel an infidel is lashed to, from there they can be beaten or striped naked and left to bake in the hot desert sun. Ha, ha, funny story, one time my friends and I tied a Jew to the wheel and rolled him down a hill toward a ramp we built at the edge of a cliff. We thought he would achieve enough speed to jump clear over it but instead he smashed right through the ramp and plummeted to his death. We still laugh about the effeminate screams of terror he expelled before landing on the rocks below. It was a very fun day.
LAUREN: Um....I'm not sure how to respond to that. I was actually asking if you had any experience behind the wheel of a car.
MUHAMMAD: Oh, my bad. I have very little experience with cars.
LAUREN: But lots of experience killing?
MUHAMMAD: Oh yes, very much.
LAUREN: How did I know you were going to say that?
MUHAMMAD: You're a witch?
LAUREN: That was a rhetorical question. We need to move on. Why don't you go ahead and not start the car for me, then don't bother checking the mirrors for traffic, after that we can just sit here instead of slowly pulling forward.
(He does the opposite, and they slowly begin moving.)
LAUREN: Super. Now while you're getting a feel for the road lets talk a little about where your attention should be focused. Since it's Sunday today, there's going to be quite a bit less traffic than we would normally see, but that doesn't mean you can be complacent. You need to be scanning the road at all times, especially with your periphery, remembering to always be prepared for unseen obstacles that come darting into the road. You certainly don't want to run somebody over.
MUHAMMAD: I don't?
LAUREN: No, you don't. Okay, as that red light at the next intersection approaches, you're going to want to begin applying the break...no, no, the BREAK, your speeding up.....I said the break! Wait! Slow down...No, I mean speed up, faster, faster. No, stop...stop! Jesus Christ, you just passed through that light without even looking for oncoming traffic. We could have been killed. What the hell are you doing?
MUHAMMAD: You appear emotional, should I slap you?
LAUREN: What? No. What the hell are you talking about? Red lights are something we stop at! How can you not know that?
MUHAMMAD: I do know it.
LAUREN: So why the hell did you go through it?
MUHAMMAD: I am Muhammad, the final prophet of Allah, peace be upon him. I do not stop at anyone's command but Allah's, peace be upon him. That is merely a light, as a display of respect for my greatness it should be changing to green for me as I approach, not expecting me to stop.
LAUREN: No, that's not how it works.
MUHAMMAD: Why?
LAUREN: Look, if you want to earn a drivers license so you can stop riding that stupid camel around town, you're going to have to stop at all the red lights, stop signs, cross walks, and anywhere else the law demands. You got it?
MUHAMMAD: What if there is nobody around and I'm late for my weekly gang rape?
LAUREN: Yes, even then.
MUHAMMAD: Fine. I will stop at red lights, but only in order to get my license, once I have it, all bets are off.
LAUREN: I'm going to pretend like I didn't hear that. Maybe we should be starting with something else. How about you pull into that empty parking lot coming up and we'll work on some parallel parking and then maybe practice driving in reverse for a little while.
MUHAMMAD: No.
LAUREN: Oh, yeah, I almost forgot what an asshole you are...Don't pull into that empty lot so we can not practice parallel parking and driving in reverse.
MUHAMMAD: I did not mean "no" to turning into the parking lot, I mean no to learning how to drive in reverse. Great men never retreat, they only push forward. Reverse is for the cowardly.
LAUREN: Really? How do you expect to get out of your driveway?
MUHAMMAD: I have a circular driveway.
LAUREN: Of course you do. Okay, lets just drive around the block for a little while instead.
MUHAMMAD: No.
LAUREN: Really? You're going to keep doing that?
MUHAMMAD: Yes.
LAUREN: You're starting to piss me off.
MUHAMMAD: I tend to have that effect on women.
LAUREN: No shit. Lets not make a left at the next intersection, then park the car instead of driving around the block.
MUHAMMAD: Okay.
(they proceed slowly around a quiet neighbourhood for several minutes before stopping at an intersection where several dozen people are in the process of slowly crossing the road.)
LAUREN: That's great, I didn't even have to tell you to stop, there might be hope for you yet.
(they sit quietly waiting as an endless stream of people parade in front of the car. Muhammad is clearly growing impatient.)
MUHAMMAD: What the hell is going on here? Can't they see we are trying to use this road?
LAUREN: Pedestrians always have the right of way. We're just going to have to wait until they're gone.
MUHAMMAD: This is ridiculous. Don't they know who I am?
LAUREN: (looking at her watch) Well, it's almost eleven o'clock, so my guess is they just finished up at church and are heading home.
MUHAMMAD: These people are Christians?
LAUREN: I think so.
MUHAMMAD: Can I run them over?
LAUREN: What? No!
MUHAMMAD: Can I just run one of them over?
LAUREN: No, you absolutely can not run anyone over. Of all the rules you need to follow that is by far the most important one. Do you understand me.
MUHAMMAD: Yes. Thank you.
(Muhammad steps on the gas, crashing directly into several people crossing in front of the car. Screams of terror are heard from all directions as bodies go flying through the air like ragdolls ejected from a T-shirt cannon. Muhammad doesn't seem to notice or care about the carnage outside his door, instead he continues as if nothing has happened.)
LAUREN: Oh my god, what the hell are you doing?
MUHAMMAD: You said I could run them over.
LAUREN: I said NO, you can't run them over!
MUHAMMAD: But 'No' means 'Yes.' Remember?
LAUREN: No. I mean, yes....I mean no. God Damit! We need to stop and see if anyone needs help.
MUHAMMAD: How about we go for an egg McMuffin instead?
LAUREN: Oh, I love egg McMuffin's, I think there's a McDonalds just past the....Wait, what the hell am I saying? NO, we're not going for a god damn egg McMuffin, we need to stop the car. You may have killed someone back there.
MUHAMMAD: You shouldn't yell at the driver, it's very distracting.
LAUREN: You know what's distracting? That thumping I hear coming from underneath the car. I think you might be dragging someone!
MUHAMMAD: Does that mean they owe me for gas?
LAUREN: Look, you crazy bastard, either you stop this car right now or I'm going to do something you wont like.
MUHAMMAD: You mean like keep talking?
LAUREN: Okay, that's it.
(She reaches into the purse at her feet and removes a small can of Pepper Spray. Pointing it directly at Muhammad's face she asks one more time...)
LAUREN: Are you going to stop this car?
MUHAMMAD: Oh, look, there's an inflatable chicken on the roof of that dealership.
LAUREN: Fine, you asked for it.
(Lauren squeezes the trigger on the pepper spray and a trickle of dirty brown liquid drips from the bottle, rolls down her hand and begins to form a harmless puddle on the armrest.)
LAUREN: Oh, that's just fucking great! I've been dying to use this thing for years, and now that I get the chance to all it does is go off in my hand and disappoint me. This is no different then the first time I had sex.
MUHAMMAD: You seem agitated. Would you like to get an egg McMuffin now?
LAUREN: Yes, but you have to agree to shut the fuck up.
MUHAMMAD: Oh, happy day. I've never been in a drive through before.
LAUREN: Would you just shut up and drive the car.
