One of France's foremost urban artists, L'Atlas is inspired by the symmetry of typography and the smallest architectural details. He once claimed 'manholes are more beautiful than all the paintings in the museum'. Born in Toulouse in 1978 and now based in Paris, he often works by spray-painting the streets with trademark labarynthine patterns, and later transposing them onto canvas. He was recently commissioned to construct one of his giant compass installations in the plaza of the Pompidou Centre and is currently taking his pictures on a world tour, exhibiting them in informal settings on the streets of Delhi, Jakarta, Rio and New York amongst other places.

Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon, published by Corgi on 3rd September 2015
Goodreads synopsis:
Madeline Whittier is allergic to the outside world. So allergic, in fact, that she has never left the house in all of her seventeen years. But when Olly moves in next door, and wants to talk to Maddie, tiny holes start to appear in the protective bubble her mother has built around her. Olly writes his IM address on a piece of paper, shows it at her window, and suddenly, a door opens. But does Maddie dare to step outside her comfort zone?
Nicola Yoon's debut novel is an extraordinary book. The story was so captivating that I read it in one sitting, unable to tear myself away from it's pages. It's emotional, beautiful, sad and hopeful all at the same time. It is a book that I will be recommending to everyone I know. I actually haven't read many books this year which have totally blown me away but this one definitely did. I absolutely loved it!
The main character Maddy, is an eighteen year old girl unable to leave her house. Protected by the four walls around her and by her mother and nurse, she has never known any other kind of life. When new neighbours move in, Maddy forms a life-changing friendship with Olly, the boy next door. When friendship turns to love, Maddy's world changes and she suddenly has some tough choices to make about her future. This story definitely posed some interesting questions about love and life which resonated with me a lot and which I found incredibly moving at times.
The relationship between Maddy and Olly is something special and was beautifully conveyed. They have an incredible bond which opens both their eyes and makes them consider what really matters to them both. I felt the intensity which they share and the depth of feeling which lies between them.
I did not see the HUGE twist coming at the end of the story but it was absolute genius. It turned everything upside down and posed an interesting dilemma for the characters.
I loved all the artwork and illustrations that accompany Maddy's story too. These really enriched the book and were created by Nicola Yoon's husband David.
A stellar five star read which rescued me from a long reading slump!

Millers v Forest: Pre Season Date Announced
News from the official Rotherham United site, confirms that the Reds' will play at the Don Valley Stadium on July 22, in a pre season friendly.
On a day when there hasn't been a single news item of note on the Forest OS, I've put two and two together and come up with five to reach the notion, that it's all part of a clever deal to get Brecks back home. That's the only reason we've agreed to play them!
There's some pretty good news on ticket prices, with entrance on the night for a tenner. Hopefully by then, we'll have a new signing or two on show and Billy the Scruff will have lifted this news embargo.

A volunteer asks: Why aren't you helping others?
Published 5:00 pm, Tuesday, December 4, 2012
In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, the resulting devastation that I watched nightly on television beckoned for me to volunteer my time. The idea of merely sending a donation did not seem like enough.
Yet when I speak to people I know, I am surprised by how few of them volunteer. I was one of those people. During this difficult economic period, this is the prime opportunity to give back with something that costs you nothing more than your time.
According to a Bureau of Labor Statistics report from last year that was compiled by the United States Department of Labor, 26.8 percent of the population volunteers. That is roughly one out of every four Americans. This is a figure that disturbs me. The total hours that the respondents spend annually at volunteer activities are 51 -- that is barely one hour per week. We spend more time than that each week waiting in line for our morning coffee or watching nonsense on television.
People say time is money, but I know of no investment that satisfies more than helping others. At the risk of sounding cliche, when I am thanked for helping another, I sincerely mean it when I say the experience was more rewarding for me. No matter how many hours I give or how hard I work, I always leave with a smile on my face and a joy in my heart for a very gratifying experience.
I am ashamed to admit that when I was younger, I did not do a lot of volunteering. The change came for me when I was still a newlywed and found myself watching author and motivational speaker, Leo Buscaglia, Ph.D. on public television. The talk on how to improve one's life caught my attention. It focused on how we view our lives and -- more importantly -- how we would be regarded once we were dead and gone. That resonated with me.
Buscaglia posed a question that I have never forgotten. The gist of it was: If you died tomorrow and found yourself at the pearly gates defending your life, what would you tell God that you did for your fellow man?
The second part was the kicker; it couldn't be anything that earned you money, benefited you directly, or elevated your status in the world. This had to be selfless. That ruled out being great at work, being a loving spouse, family member or friend, or accomplishing great grades at school.
I was not proud of the fact that I could think of nothing other than donating a few dollars here and there. Big deal -- I could write a check. So I thought about some requests for volunteers that I had never acted on because I was too afraid, too busy or just too self-involved. Once I put my mind to it, I found that the possibilities were endless.
The plight of the homeless has always distressed me, yet I was uneasy about volunteering at the Dorothy Day Soup Kitchen. When I called to inquire if they needed my services, I told the coordinator that I was worried that as a compassionate person I would spend the whole time crying and not be of much help to the guests.
Her answer was perfect. She admitted that I may cry at first, but it would get easier, and if I did not truly care about the guests who came through their doors, she would not want me to volunteer there, anyway.
I took the plunge, and surprisingly did not cry in front of anyone that first time, although the tears flowed as soon as I got to my car. The next time was easier and I have been serving meals there on and off for almost 30 years and consider it to be one of my favorite things to do.
Enough about me--what are you going to do? Victims of Hurricane Sandy need help with free hot meals, house clean-up, yard work and home repairs. Supplies need to be gathered, sorted and loaded onto trucks. Animal shelters need help with abandoned dogs and cats.
There are people in nursing homes who have no family to visit them -- adopt a grandparent. Children need mentors, students need tutors, and sports teams need help with coaching. People need rides to medical appointments or food delivered.
Places of worship and hospitals can use help in many ways. The Handy Dandy Handyman Ministry in Brookfield, Connecticut helps single parents, widows, the handicapped and elderly with a variety of services, yard work, and home repairs. Volunteer opportunities are only limited by your imagination and interests. If you're still stuck, you can search online. Start with http://uwwesternct.org/.
Let volunteering become part of your lifestyle. During bouts of unemployment I chose to volunteer more. It got me out of the house, was a way to network, and kept me from feeling worthless. And to the people who say that if they won the lottery they would not quit their job; I say -- you no longer need the money -- quit and volunteer instead.
Linda Anne Queiroz is a resident of Brookfield.

East meets west in search for diabetes cure
Page Tools
Australian scientists hope a fusion of eastern and western medical traditions will yield a cure for diabetes, the blood sugar disorder which has in recent years reached epidemic proportions.
Scientists from Sydney and Shanghai have joined forces to speed up the search for a cure for the condition, which is currently treated with varying success using medication and lifestyle changes.
Diabetes, particularly the late-onset variety of the disease, has become a major problem in the west and is on the rise in Asia.
Now, traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) aimed at curing diabetes will be subjected to rigorous scientific testing in a collaboration between Sydney's Garvan Institute of Medical Research and the Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences (SIBS) in China.
"It's hoped that the combination of Garvan's sophisticated mouse models and assay systems for compounds affecting the development of diabetes, together with SIBS' extensive and well-characterised bank of TCM compounds, will lead to novel approaches to the treatment of human diabetes," Garvan chair Bill Ferris said.
Under the arrangement, Garvan experts will train the Chinese scientists in specialised techniques for studying insulin resistance and diabetes, and the Chinese specialists will teach Garvan scientists about TCM compounds believed to have a place in treating diabetes.
SIBS researchers have already extracted various active ingredients from TCMs and developed screening techniques to help determine the mechanisms by which the compounds work.
Garvan has been researching diabetes and obesity since the 1960s.

The Oakland A's started strong, but cooled off during a 2-7 road trip. Yet those are the kinds of ups and downs fans should expect from a young team, beat writer Susan Slusser reports in this podcast
The A's hope Frank Thomas can reignite the offense, although baserunning gaffes remain a concern, Susan tells Sports Editor Glenn Schwarz.
Susan also goes over young SS Gregorio Petit's strengths and runs down the roster moves the A's could make when injured third baseman Eric Chavez returns. Also on the injury front, the news is positive on reliever Santiago Casilla.

April 2, 2013
After "Citizens United" passed, The USA became a corporate owned country. They own us. Make no mistake, we are horrified by this decision and what has transpired since corporations became "people" and these people became secretive and corrupt. Personally, I WANT TO KNOW who is contributing to harming my health (Monsanto) or to the harming of our planet (oil companies) or cuts in our safety net. I will absolutely stop doing all business with them/and or buying their products. I don't care what the products are - they are not the only ones providing these services and I will find the companies that care about us and the earth.
I am writing to urge the Securities and Exchange Commission to issue a rule requiring publicly traded corporations to publicly disclose all their political spending – and to do so this year.
"Dark money" groups that accept contributions from corporations, but are not required to publicly identify their corporate donors, spent millions of dollars during the 2012 elections. It is a scandal that money from publicly traded corporations – which belongs to investors – can be secretly spent to distort our democracy.
The Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission created the loophole that enables this secret spending, but the SEC has the authority to close it.
Both shareholders and the public must be fully informed as to how much corporations spend on politics and which candidates are being promoted or attacked. Disclosures should be posted promptly on the SEC's web site.
Thank you for considering my comment.

The 2011 Rocky Mountain
The 2011 Rocky Mountain Men's Knitting Retreat is history, and was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. Frank and Brady did an outstanding job of planning and facilitating, the setting was fantastic, the food was great, the company was more than wonderful. We knit, we learned, we shared, we laughed, we toured, we even slept a bit. It was certainly the best knitting retreat I've ever been to (yeah, the only one, but still). As threatened, here are some photos.
Facebook album (public). Those of you on FB, please feel free to tag any of these photos or make comments.
"All knitting is just one stitch at a time."
Since Joe-in-Wyoming asked
Since Joe-in-Wyoming asked about the socks I was making during the retreat, I thought I'd post an update (and a photo). I was very grateful for a lot of help and advice, as this is the first time I've tried socks. They're planned to be calf-height socks to go inside my hunting boots, so I had planned to make them pretty long. I was about halfway down the leg and they were just looking too big. I was agonizing what to do, and thinking I would make that first one into a Christmas stocking or something, but Jeff said, "You're never going to wear it that way, right? Just rip it out and start over. You'll be much happier." Realizing he was right, I pulled out my needles and was about to start ripping when someone said, "Wait, try it on to see how much you need to adjust the size to what you want."
So I slipped it up my leg, and behold! It actually fit fairly well. The book had said to try it on once in a while, but I didn't know how to do that with the needles in, so I hadn't tried it. But now I've got a sock ready to fall into a pile of yarn, and it's actually a good size.
That's when Joe-in-Wyoming came to my rescue. He had a really small circular needle (looked about US1). He picked up all those stitches without dropping any, and apparently twisted them just right, because you couldn't even see where it happened when I continued knitting. I always have two worries when a stitch is off the needle, one is that it will start laddering down the work (which has actually happened on a number of occasions) and two is that when I pick it back up, I will have twisted it the wrong way, so I knit becomes a purl or something.
So when I got home, I continued on down and learned how to "turn the heel" as they say, that magic point where you actually become a sock knitter. Actually took a couple of tries. Encouraged by Joe's skillful actions, I pulled out the heel flap a couple of times and started over. Turns out I actually waited too long to start the heel flap. It's no big deal, just means I turn down the cuff at the top because it's a bit long, even though I measured it on my leg as I went. I realized afterward that you have to start the heel flap a couple of inches above where the actual heel goes, because the heel fits in where the "turn" is. Since the heel flap is a square where you start the turn, you need to start it that much above where you want the actual heel.
So then I picked up the stitches for the gusset, decreased back to the right number of stitches and continued in the round until I got to the toe. There I decreased again, and learned the kitchener stitch, so the toe actually looks quite invisible. It's a marvel.
Still has a couple of blemishes. First at the beginning of the heel flap, I must have knit the wrong direction on one row or something, as I wound up with a rib of purls in the stockinette. Similar thing happened at the end of the flap, so there's a slight rib there too. I don't think it will affect how the sock feels, but it looks a bit odd.
So now I'm on the second sock, cast on the same number of stitches for the ribbed cuff, then reduced it a bit for the calf, which will continue on down the foot. Hope the avoid the cosmetic problems on the second one, but we'll see. Now for the morbidly curious who have stuck around this long, here's a photo of the finished first sock.
Mostly for my friends from
Mostly for my friends from the 2011 RMMKR, here is a photo of the finished socks:
Actually, they've been done for a while, but I didn't get around to posting til now. Yesterday, I put them in hot water for a few moments, then popped them in the dryer. I wanted to shrink them some. They need some more, I don't know how much they'll shrink without felting.
I put them on for the first time last night, and they were the warmest, most comfortable socks I have ever worn. I kept them on all night and they kept my feet so toasty warm. It was wonderful. The feet fit perfectly, but the tops are a bit large so they fall down. Next time I'll make the ribbed cuff smaller. I'm wondering if I could sew some elastic thread into the top to keep them from falling down. I might give that a try. However, they were made to wear with tall boots, so in actual use, that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

In an investigation headed by the Statesboro Police Department, an undercover officer was sent into the establishment with a hidden camera on two separate occasions – April 12th and 26th. Each night, the officer received three free shots from a bartender at the Woodin Nikel.
As a result, six separate citations were issued for giving out free alcohol, which is against the city ordinance. All alcohol served must be charged for at or above the wholesale price.
When Amerson was asked if he intended to appeal to the city council, he said "I'm not. I told the board I'd abide their decision and I'll take it like a man."
He also was offered the opportunity to voluntarily give up his license in order to postpone the hearing and give his lawyer the opportunity to better prepare. Amerson declined.
An earlier motion was made to consider the six individual citations as two separate violations, considering the violations happened over two nights and there were three instances of the same violation. If the motion had passed, Amerson and the Nikel would have faced only a 30-day suspension of his alcohol license. The motion failed 4-2.
In other votes, the board unanimously voted to suspend, for 30 days, the licenses of Harvey's on Highway 80 and Time Saver convenience store, on North Main. Both were due to receiving second citations within a 24-month period.
In a city-wide sting in May, run by the Georgia Department of Revenue – Alcohol and Tobacco Division, a 19-year old investigator was able to purchase a 24-ounce beer from the Time Saver. According to Ronald Huckaby, assistant special agent in charge, the investigator was not asked for ID, asked his date of birth nor his age.
At Harvey's, the same 19-year old investigator was able to purchase two, 40-ounce malt liquor beverages from a veteran cashier. According to the general manager's testimony, the cashier had eight years experience and was a fairly stable employee.
"We knew we were hit one time and we didn't want it to happen again. I feel we do a good job and [checking ID's] is not taken lightly" said the manager. "Check ID. Check ID. It's everyday language."
Representatives from Harvey's and Time Saver declined comment.
According to City Clerk Judy McCorkle, anyone who received a suspension will be notified by mail. They will then have five days to notify the city, in writing, of their intent to appeal to the city council or an officer will show up to remove their license.
Other violators who were caught by the state's sting in May, were El Sombrero, Fast & Easy, Flash Foods, Gary's Food Mart, Wal-Mart, Turtles, Jerry's Minit Mart, Wine Cellar and Longhorn's. Each of these business was cited with serving an underage customer and was given a warning.
Huckaby said, "We purposely use underage individuals, who look underage in the opinion of a three person panel. They go in without ID and are required to tell the truth if asked. They don't even use 20 year olds."
The board issued suspensions and warnings, due to the fact that the board no longer has the authority to levy fines. That authority is limited to the city's municipal court, according to state law.
At the recent City Council meeting, the first reading of the potential new ordinance will remove the punitive authority to issue warnings or suspensions and return that authority to the city council.
Alcohol Board member, Ray Frye said, "I feel the city council is getting back to micro-managing. That part doesn't make sense. Why do we have an alcohol board?"
In response, City Attorney Sam Brannen said, "There is a possibility that the Alcohol Control Board will be done away with. A possibility. Somewhere down the line. That's what I personally see."
As it currently reads, the Alcohol Control Board would only have the authority to grant licenses.
"Granting licenses is the easy part," Board member Nancy Waters said. "Handling license violations is the hard part. Having license holders on [the board] means there's no tunnel vision. We get to see the problems of the business owners as well."

The push to go green is a win-win for your household and the environment. By turning off the lights, unplugging electronics and recycling daily, you can make a big difference in your daily energy usage and help reduce pollution, not to mention the extra effort can save you money on utilities. With just a few minor tweaks to your daily routine, you may soon see how your habits to conserve energy can motivate others to do the same. Now is the time to go green and reduce your family's energy consumption.
Assess Your Energy Usage
An annual energy audit will help your family see where energy wastes occur in your home. Take a moment to inspect the usage in your home. Do you turn off lights when leaving a room? Are television sets left on overnight? Do you replace your heating and cooling filters every three months? Ask family members to divide and conquer an energy audit checklist and brainstorm additional ways to reduce the energy consumption in your home.
Although many people are reliant on appliances and electronic devices, you do not need to use energy continuously to run computers, phones and kitchen appliances. Reduce energy consumption by unplugging coffee pots, toasters, alarm clocks and stereos when you're not using them. Keep your outlets bare and free from extra phone chargers, too, to reduce the drain on your electrical supply and monthly utility bill.
Install Power Strips
Reduce your energy consumption by installing power strips for home theater and computer equipment. Save time and energy by unplugging the strip, instead of individually unplugging four or five devices. When plugged in and not in use, these appliances and devices still consume energy in standby mode.
Check for Air Leaks
Improving the insulation in your home can help reduce energy consumption and save you a few bucks on utilities. Inspect your home for air leaks around plumbing fixtures, exterior doors, windows and electrical outlets. If necessary, add additional insulation so your furnace or air conditioner is not working harder to make up the difference. Check the insulation in crawl spaces, the attic and basement walls.
Regulate Fridge Settings
Keep your food fresh and reduce the amount of energy used by keeping your refrigerator temperature steady at 38 to 42 degrees Fahrenheit. Avoid setting your freezer higher than 5 degrees Fahrenheit, too. If your refrigerator has a power-save switch, enable it and always double check that the doors to the fridge and the freezer are sealed tightly.
Fill Up the Dishwasher
Fill up the dishwasher and use short cycles to get the most of the energy use in your home. Washing just a few dishes at a time can use more energy and water. Short cycles with full loads can help save water and the energy needed to pump and heat the appliance. Opt to air-dry the dishes, too, to reduce the amount of heat energy you use.
Conserve Water
Decrease the amount of water for washing clothes by selecting the appropriate water level to match the size of your load. When possible, wash in cold water instead of warm or hot to reduce the energy to heat the water. When drying clothes, keep the lint filter clean and annually inspect the ductwork to eliminate debris, crumbs, hair and build-up. In fair temperatures, opt to hang your clothes outside on a clothesline.
Flip the Switch
Flip the light switch when leaving each room to conserve energy. Whether at home or the office, do your best to work by daylight if possible or use dimmers to reduce the amount of energy you use. Installing a timer on your light switches will automatically dim or shut off lights at specific times of the day.

Skip to comments.Illegal immigrant from Mexico charged with multiple counts of rape
Posted on 10/12/2012 6:41:25 PM PDT by moonshinner_09
An illegal immigrant from Mexico charged with multiple counts of rape in Oakland County was tracked down by immigration officials and turned over to the Oakland County Sheriffs Office earlier this week.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcements (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) tracked down Miguel Angel Davila-Ruiz, 33, at a southwest Detroit home, according to the Sheriffs Office.
Davila-Ruiz was wanted by the Sheriffs Office regarding four counts of criminal sexual conduct with a minor in Pontiac.
Deputies had been looking for Davila-Ruiz since July, when the warrant was issued. Efforts began between ERO and sheriffs deputies to catch him, and a $2,000 reward was offered for information leading to his arrest.
(Excerpt) Read more at theoaklandpress.com ...
U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested 57-year-old Carmen Alonzo on harboring an illegal immigrant charge on Thursday.
Court records released on Friday show that the incident happened back on July 8th.
Alonzo allegedly told a female human smuggler how to move the girl undetected through security at the bridge.
The two walked into town where the woman dropped the 13-year-old girl off at Alonzos travel trailer where she stayed with him alone.
NOT GUILTY....by way of Executive Order. (will never even make it to court.)
Yep. But too many cases of this type of thing and there may be a rise in vigilante justice. When the government will not punish for violations of fundamental social laws, eventually the common folk will.
And this guy should probably be hanged with at most a twelve inch drop.
Just doing the jobs Americans won't do....
Very good chance.
Could get away clean if it is a sanctuary city.

Crowds pay tribute to the 'rogue' lord of renowned estate
THE gentleman of Westport House who had "an unusual way of looking at the world" was waked at his Mayo estate last night.
Crowds gathered at what is normally one of the west's main tourists attractions to pay tribute to a businessman and law changer.
The 74-year-old Lord Altamont passed away on Sunday following a two-year battle with cancer, leaving behind a legacy more than a dozen generations in the making.
Since it was built in the 16th century, the stately home of the Marquess of Sligo served as the home of the Browne family.
But it was Lord Altamont, described by friends as "a rogue", who turned the 400-acre estate into the thrilling adventure park that continues to attract tens of thousands of visitors every year.
For five decades, Lord Altamont, 11th Marquess of Sligo and 13th great-grandson of notorious pirate queen Grace O'Malley, retained ownership of the site, like his ancestors before him.
But the house might not have survived if it weren't for his creativity, which took it from the pits of crippling debt to a successful business.
First he opened the manor's doors to the public in 1960, then he opened a zoo, before setting up an adventure park.
Lord Altamont is survived by his wife Jennifer, daughters Sheelyn, Karen, Lucinda, Clare, Alannah and grandchildren.
A private cremation service will take place today in Mount Jerome Crematorium, Dublin and a memorial Service will take place at a later date.
The family have asked for donations in his memory to be given to the Mayo/Roscommon Hospice.

I'm on the road and I just can't get to them as fast as I'd like. The need for me to approve comments pertains to just the initial comment that each poster makes and, after that, they go up on the site immediately.
For the same reason, I haven't been able to respond to comments as quickly as I like to so I'm going to address some issues here in a separate post.
Was it wrong for the Redskins to sell tickets that should have gone to waiting list fans to brokers? Absolutely. Was Dan Snyder aware that it was going on? I doubt it. Is Snyder responsible for the high-pressure atmosphere that led to some salesmen breaking the rules to meet quotas? Absolutely.
And, on to the second article in the series, did the Redskins both create a major PR blunder and come down with too heavy a hand in some of their cases involving individuals holding premium seat contracts? Absolutely. Does that mean that they should let people out of signed contracts because they ask to be? Absolutely not. What's the purpose of a contract if it can unilaterally be cancelled? Should the Redskins offer tickets to those who have paid their judgments in full? Absolutely.
I posted a question to reporter James V. Grimaldi's chat yesterday and it didn't get answered. These two bits of information are crucial in judging the Redskins' actions. I asked them in my original post and one was partially answered, the other not addressed at all:
- What do other NFL teams do in such situations? We did find out that nine said that they take no legal action when people default on premium ticket contracts and two said that they do. The other 18 either had no comment or did not respond. For such a well-researched piece, this was some pretty shoddy reporting. It would be simple enough, for example, to jump on line or get on the phone and see if any cases are pending or settled in Kansas City or in the city of Philadelphia. These cases are on the public record. The Post's failure to do this fuels my suspicion that they did not want to find anything that did not fit their agenda, a practice that I though was limited to just their political coverage.
- Nobody interviewed a neutral lawyer to find out whether or not giving a pass to people who signed contracts would hinder the team's ability to go after corporations who default on million-dollar contracts? I don't know one way or the other. The failure of the Post to try to obtain some pretty basic information is fishy.
Again, the Redskins don't come out of this smelling like a rose. And while the Redskins did uncover the ticket bundling scheme on their own it's good that the Post got it out to the public as that will help ensure that something like that is unlikely to happen again.
But the Post clearly wanted a sensational story here. In the eyes of some, they got it. I certainly hope that it makes people think twice, maybe three times, before committing thousands of dollars per year to club seats many years into the future. I do have to say that hhe front-page picture of the weeping fan on the Redskins-decorated couch was a bit over the top.
In the end, people who foam at the mouth at the mention of Dan Snyder's name have one more reason to do so. And the Post may have temporarily boosted its sagging subscription numbers. The Redskins will review their practices and maybe make some changes for the better.

Necronomicon: The Wanderings of Alhazred
NOOK Book(eBook)
Anyone familiar with H. P. Lovecraft's work knows of the Necronomicon, the black magic grimoire he invented as a literary prop in his classic horror stories. There have been several attempts at creating this text, yet none stand up to Lovecraft's own descriptions of the Necronomicon . . . until now. Fans of Lovecraftian magic and occult fiction will delight in Donald Tyson's Necronomicon, based purely within Lovecraft's own fictional universe, the Cthulhu Mythos.
This grimoire traces the wanderings of Abdul Alhazred, a necromancer of Yemen, on his search for arcane wisdom and magic. Alhazred's magical adventures lead him to the Arabian desert, the lost city of Irem, ruins of Babylon, lands of the Old Ones, and Damascus, where he encounters a variety of strange creatures and accrues necromantic secrets.

About the Author
Donald Tyson (Nova Scotia, Canada) is an occult scholar and the author of the popular, critically acclaimed Necronomicon series. He has written more than a dozen books on Western esoteric traditions.
Read an Excerpt
You who would learn the wisdom of hidden things and traverse the avenues of shadow beneath the stars, heed this song of pain that was chanted by one who went unseen before you that you may follow the singing of his voice across the windblown sands that obscure the marks of his feet. Each who goes into the Empty Space walks alone, but where one has gone another may follow.
Turn not your mind from night fears, but embrace them as a lover. Let terror possess your body and course through your veins with its heady intoxication to steal your judgment, your very reason. In the madness of the night, all sounds become articulate. A man sure of himself, confident in his strength, aware of his rightful place, remains forever ignorant. His mind is closed. He cannot learn in life, and after death there is no acquisition of knowledge, only unending certainty. His highest fulfillment is to be food for the things that burrow and squirm, for in their mindless hunger they are pure, undefiled by reason, and their purity elevates them above the putrefying pride of our race.
By writhing on your belly in abject terror you will rise up in awareness of truth; by the screams that fill the throat unsought is the mind purged of the corruption of faith. Believe in nothing. There is no purpose in birth, no salvation of the soul in life, no reward after death. Abandon hope and you shall become free, and with freedom acquire emptiness.
The night things that hop and skitter and flit at the edges of the campfire glow exist only to teach, but no man can understand their words unless he has lost in fear the memory of his name. Two serving maidens will come to you when you lie alone, and will lead you to the place within yourself that cannot be known but only felt. These handmaidens are Terror and Despair. Let them guide you into nightmares that follow one upon the other, like windblown grains of sand, until they cover over the markers of your mind. When you have lost yourself in the wasteland of unending nothingness, the night things will come.
With hope utterly abandoned, all else will leave you, save only fear. Your name forgotten, your memories bereft of meaning, without desire or purpose and having no regret, you would cease utterly to exist and would become one with the greatness of the night were it not for fear. Let your terror be your standing place amid the ocean of darkness. From it you cannot retreat for it is all that you are become. Pure fear is undifferentiated, a smoothness without line or color; hence a man in the extremity of terror is united with all other terrified men; more than this, in the purity of terror he becomes one with all fearful creatures in this world or other worlds, both in this moment and in distant aeons of time, and in that unity wherein dwells the wisdom of all, his mind is opened, and the night things speak.
Pain is the terror of the body, and as the body is but a pallid reflection of the mind, so is the pain of the flesh no more than a distant echo of the terror of dreams. Even so, do not despise your pain, for it has its function. Pain anchors the mind to flesh. In the absence of pain, the mind would fly up and become lost in the spaces between the stars, and darkness would consume it. Just as the mind can lose all aspects of itself, but will never cease to fear, so can the body lose all strength and sensations or longing, but will always feel pain. While there is life, there is pain, and fear continues even when life is no more.
Despair is not separate from terror but is the consequence of the abatement of fear. When terror fills the mind there is room for nothing else, but when it withdraws in part, as it must do, for it ebbs and flows even as the tides of the seas, then the mind is left cleansed and empty, and this condition is called despair. In despair there is a void that yearns to be filled up. Let the night things fill it with their whisperings, and in this way grow wise in the secret ways of this world, and other worlds unknown to men.
Of all pains, hunger is the most useful since it gnaws unceasingly, like the worm in the tomb. It is the gateway upon an emptiness vast and endless; no matter the quantity or kind of food, it is never filled up. All living creatures are but embodiments of hunger. Man is a hollow tube, ingesting food at one end and excreting waste at the other. How is it possible for man to be other than empty? As it is for the body, so it is also for the mind. The natural condition of the mind is emptiness. All efforts to fill it are temporary diversions that fail to deny this truth.
To learn arcane wisdom is the simplest of tasks. Purge the mind with terror; purge the body with pain and hunger. Take yourself out into the empty spaces of the world that express in their limited way the same qualities as the empty spaces between the stars. The things that dwell there are ever watchful. They exist only to teach. After terror comes despair, and in despair the language of the shadows is intelligible. As you empty your mind of self, the night creatures fill it with their wisdom.
The wisest of these creatures is the black beetle that lives on the dung of others. Dead food is better than food that is living, since its essence is nearer to the ultimate state of decay to which we all tend. From corruption arises new life. Fill yourself with corruption and from it you shall be reborn, even as the fungi arise and glow with radiance on the faces of the dead who have rested in their tombs a span of years. Emulate the beetles and the worms, and learn their teachings. Eat of the dead, lest you be consumed by the emptiness. The living cannot teach the dead, but the dead can instruct the living.
In the wasteland dwell those things that cannot abide the light of reason. Even as man is a creature of the day, and ceases to know himself during the darkness, so do these things of the void cease to articulate their identity during the hours of the sun. They sleep by day and wake by night to feed. The terror of man is their nourishment and their excrement is higher wisdom. The dung of these things may only be consumed when the mind is made empty by terror and is in a receptive state of despair. Unless the mind be perfectly purged, their excrement will be vomited up and lost. The exquisite rapture of hunger retains all foods, and extracts nourishment even from the husks of beetles and the castings of worms. Ingest wisdom with the darkness, and sleep by day.
Separate yourself from humanity, for what use have you for these pale, blinking fools and their ceaseless yammerings? In life they serve no function, and in death they are only food for the crawling creatures. Take yourself apart, embrace your fear, and listen to the darkness. Your teachers will come; as they appear before you, consume their wisdom. Grind their chitinous cases between your teeth and partake of their essence. The whirring of their wings and the rubbing of their legs is music. Consume all, even the other things that approach, those that have no bodies but only teeth and eyes that gleam in shadow. The crawling things instruct the body, and the shadow shapes teach the mind, but the wisdom of both must be consumed. There is only hunger in the universe. Devour everything.
The desert known as Roba el Khaliyeh is a lover of the dead and a hater of all things that have life. The creatures that dwell in the desiccated wastes of this Empty Space imitate the dead in all possible ways, and thereby steal life from the dryness. What are the qualities of the dead? They are cold and lie without motion within the earth, hidden from the burning sun; their skin is hard and black; at night they rise and wander far in search of nourishment to satisfy their ceaseless hunger and thirst. So it is with the living things that struggle to remain alive in the land of the dead. They lie beneath the earth, in caves or covered over with sand, during the heat of the day; they move little or not at all to conserve their fluids; their skin is hard and dark, their eyes dry and glittering jewels; only under the light of the moon dare they venture forth to hunt.
A man who would cross the wilderness of stone and sand must emulate the dead, even as do the creatures that live in the waste, for only by becoming as they are may he survive. At the setting of the sun, arise and go in quest of nourishment. Water is more precious than food, so always seek water, and food will cross your path without the need to look for it.
The life of the desert is an endless quest for water that renders other quests meaningless. When the paling of the east announces the dawn, dig a hollow in the sand and cover your body, or huddle in a cleft between rocks that is forever in shadow. Lie as one dead, and sleep out the day.
Seek the deepest depths between the rocks in the low places of the land where the sands have fallen inward, for there will be found moisture. Even when it is too attenuated to serve the needs of life directly, it may be had by sucking the juice of crawling things that concentrate the dampness within their shells. Corpses newly buried along the caravan roads are fat with water. The brain remains wet for weeks, as does the marrow of the bones. The blood of a hunter hawk is good, but the blood of a carrion bird may carry disease that cripples or kills the unwary. More wholesome is the flesh of serpents and worms, sweet to the taste and a glut to the belly.
In the deepest pits where water drips and pools, there flourishes a certain fungus that may be known by its color, for it is the green mingled with yellow of the pus from a newly lanced boil. This growth emanates a faint radiance that seems bright to eyes accustomed to the blackness of caves. It is of the length of half a forefinger, but from it emerge longer stalks containing pods of spores that break open with a faint sound, like the crackle of brush in a fire, when disturbed. Among this living carpet that covers the rocks and walls and roofs of caverns live small spiders of the purest white. As they move among the stalks, they brush them with their legs and cause them to open and spread their seed upon the damp air, so that in the silence deep beneath the earth there is an endless soft crackle that resembles stifled laughter.
To consume three of the white spiders transforms the power of sight, allowing demons and shades of the dead that wander the desert after the setting of the sun to be seen clearly with eyes, though these wraiths pass otherwise unseen. Three spiders, and three alone, must be eaten. Two is insufficient; four causes vomiting and sickness that persists for several days. Three yields merely a lightness and spinning in the head that is not so severe as to inhibit walking. It is the spores from the pods fallen upon the spiders that produce the second type of sight. By themselves the spores have no power, but when mingled with the secretions on the back and legs of the spiders they acquire this potency.
To sight fortified by this strange meat, the shades of the desert stand forth from the rocks and dunes with the whiteness of candle wax. Near the burial sites of Bedouin caravans may be seen lares who retain their human form, though they go naked after death. These are mindless vessels that stand or stagger upon the earth above their graves, moving in circles and arcs but never venturing more than a dozen paces from the mound where their putrefying flesh lies buried. They have one use alone: to identify the place of burial when the desert nomads have attempted to conceal the place from ghouls and tomb robbers. No matter how well concealed the surface of the grave, the lar of the corpse stands watch above it.

This book is very interesting and it's a lot of fun to read. It's based on HP Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, but it's not the same thing, there's plenty of individual touches to make it more colorful. It's probably the most unique book I've ever read.
This book is an outstanding read, even if you have no intrest in the occult or magic. The detail and attention to little things are superb.

There's only one story in celebrity world this week. It dwarfs even the outrageous claim that Paris Hilton once demonstrated how to smuggle cocaine through customs. ("She held the cigarette box in her right hand and with an underhand swoop like a lower case J, she demonstrated exactly how to beat airport security," writes Ryan Simpkins in his charming sounding book FLASH! Boobs, Bars and Busted, before adding one final mind-boggling detail. "She even whistled while she did it.")
But let us cast off that unedifying spectacle and indeed the pressing question it raises – what did she whistle? The kind of single pitch-ascending swannee-whistle note that they used to have in Carry On films when Sid James first spotted Barbara Windsor? The Nokia diddle-ee-dee ringtone tune? The opening moderato-allegretto movement of Shostakovich's String Quartet No. 12? Let us instead concentrate on this week's big celebrity story, courtesy of Sinitta: Simon Cowell's hitherto-unremarked-upon similarity to Jesus.
News of the X Factor mogul's resemblance to the Son Of God couldn't have come at a better time. Old Flat-Top's had a rough few weeks. First there was the Auto-Tuning scandal on The X Factor, charges which Cowell seems to have taken to refuting with the claim that Auto-Tuning doesn't actually exist: thus we are faced with the intriguing prospect that every successful auditionee in Glasgow and Dublin just happened to sound like a cross between Stephen Hawking and one of the For Mash Get Smash robots. "There is no machine to make people sound worse or better," he said, which presumably comes as news to the manufacturers of the Antares Auto-Tune Evo Pitch Correcting Plug-In, who are, as we speak, doubtless amending their industry-standard product's slogan to The Fastest, Easiest To Use, Highest-Quality Tool for Correcting Pitch That Doesn't Actually Exist According to Simon Cowell.
Then came the suggestion the tabloid story about X Factor contestants trashing Cowell's Marbella villa was made up, an accusation that seems a little difficult to believe unless you think that Simon Cowell is essentially a dead-eyed, cynically manipulative, weirdly reptilian figure who regards the public as a contemptible bovine mass that it's virtually impossible to underestimate – which, as we are about to find out, he's not: he's actually a bit like Jesus. After that, Susan Boyle was reduced to tears on the set of America's Got Talent when Lou Reed refused to allow her permission to sing Perfect Day "because he isn't a Boyle fan". Yes, Lost in Showbiz was shocked too. For one thing, this behaviour seems to run contrary to Reed's longstanding reputation for twinkly bonhomie and boundless goodwill: he just doesn't seem like the kind of person who'd be difficult, does he? For another, as attendees of his recent Night Of Deep Noise tour will doubtless confirm, the first thought that comes to mind when you see Lou Reed's wizened, scowling, black clad figure hunched over his guitar, making a torrential din for an hour is very much: he certainly looks like someone who was glued to every episode of Britain's Got Talent. I bet he bust a gut at Stavros Flatley.
Finally, there was the furore about The X Factor allowing a 20-year-old prostitute called Chloe Mafia to audition for the show. As controversy bubbled, it fell to the delectable Sinitta to silence the debate by drawing the public's attention to Cowell's likeness to the Messiah. "I personally can't see what the problem is," she thundered. "After all, Mary Magdalene was a prostitute and Jesus hung out with her. This is a true testament of the kind of character Simon really is. There's something quite Christian about him."
There are those who may openly scoff at this, perhaps noting that humiliating people on primetime television and favouring the world with Il Divo doesn't sound as if it has an enormous amount in common with the ministry of Christ. But Lost In Showbiz finds itself nodding along: of course, that's exactly who he's like. It suggests the Dawkins-like doubters out there ask themselves this: can anyone among us honestly say that there hasn't been an occasion when they've gazed upon Simon Cowell – perhaps witlessly ripping into an unfortunate teenage girl who's just honked her way tunelessly through The Greatest Love Of All, or papped enjoying the private beach at Sandy Lane with Michael Winner – and found the words "Jesus Christ Almighty" involuntarily springing to their lips? Lost In Showbiz rests its case and suggests Lou Reed prepare himself for the wrath of God.
