How does the idea of a full brain sound? Not particularly meditative perhaps...
As the term mindfulness is sounding more commonly and rousing interests amongst beginners and right through experienced meditators, the term itself isn't always seen as entirely helpful to inspire the method and effects the practice can bring.
It is a practice most famously delivered to the west by Vietnamese monk activist (and good pal of Martin Luther King), Thic Naht Hahn, via one of his students Jon Kabat Zinn who developed Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction. Another key proponent in the west would be the Insight Meditation Society founded in 1975. They showed us a way, a practice, and its for us to DO THE WORK, before we can really understand the subtle nuances of what it actually offers.
To understand a key point on where the practice of mindfulness comes from and what is meant by 'the mind' will help to simplify it. The word mind has picked up a lot of connotations in west which aren't so common to the eastern understanding. Now there are very subtle elements which differentiate when we are operating from the brain or the mind, and it seems to me that it's not such an easy switch to recognise when we're in the midst of it.
In eastern understanding, 'mind' isn't simply the brain but consists of our gut instinct or how we can wear our heart on our sleeve. In other words, many bodily systems constitute that which is known collectively as mind in the east, such as the sensory awareness and hormones, not simply the big grey blob safely tucked up in the skull. I've been taught that traditionally in the east, individual minds exists between the belly and the chest. How to begin bringing our awareness below the neck is not so particularly well understood, however is vital for peace of mind.
So to try and grapple an intellectual understanding of what mindfulness is is automatically self defeating, because until we have experienced our mind at work to its fullest throughout our bodies, we are trying to collect water without a vessel, we can do it, but it wont be nearly as tidy.
To know that the brain is but a small portion of what mind is traditionally known as, that it actually only serves the imaginative as well as regulatory forces is what mindfulness represents to me. To know that it's not in charge and that we aren't destined to get stuck up in there. It's a truth that becomes clearer as we can learn to sidestep its constant demand to be at the centre of attention. The brain has had to be fighting for our attention for us to survive, and its our opportunity now to adapt, to speed up our evolution, that we have all these higher abilities that raise us up from animals, but we don't need to rush into totally disconnecting from our roots.
Good news, it's extremely simple to learn, it just takes a little intention, and a lifetime's practice. But just a little intention goes a long way to get back a sense of harmony, balance and depending on how much you give it; seeing every moment of life as a miracle.
I'm particularly looking forward to teaching more about this in upcoming posts as I prepare for another visit to Norway to lead class in Drobak and hold a mindful hot yoga workshop at Raw Yoga in Oslo.

The film lacks the cinematic craft to express the connection between the maker and the audience
Ajit Duara
16 Jun, 2017
This film takes its title from one of the classic albums released by Tupac Shakur before he was shot dead in 1996. Like a comet that streaks across the sky, his life and career lit up the heavens all too briefly. The movie is an uneven docu-drama that lurches through the events and people in Tupac's life, and attempts, half heartedly, to re-live some of his more traumatic experiences, now part of folk lore in music history. But such is the intensity with which he blazed through the prisons of racial hatred, violence and drug addiction, all woven together inextricably, that the film is watchable merely for recording it. And also for the excellent actor who portrays him, Demetrius Shipp Jr.
The film begins in his mother's womb, when she refers to her unborn child in a speech at a 'Black Panther' meet. So, in a sense, militant ideology and a tradition of protest at the gross and blatant inequalities in American society, accompanied Tupac from birth to death. He was born in New York City, but his mother, Afeni Shakur (Danai Gurira), was forced to move to Baltimore, because she was harassed by the FBI for her political affiliations and thrown out of her home. The then FBI director, J. Edgar Hoover, had described the 'Black Panther Party' as 'the greatest threat to the internal security of the country'; hyperbole no doubt, but dangerous when a man like Hoover links the demand for racial justice to what he always called communist and subversive thinking.
Shortly after, the family was forced to shift again, for reasons unexplained, to California, severely disrupting Tupac's involvement in the arts, which he took to like a duck takes to water. Socially convivial and immensely gifted, writing poetry, quoting Shakespeare and making music was his life, but always with the shadow of race and class falling across everything creative he did. He was not able to protect his art and, at the same time, escape his environment and culture. This was his tragedy, and the tragedy of so many African American artists at the time. 'Rebel for the Hell of it: The Life of Tupac Shakur' by film and music critic, Armond White, is a book that defines his music and the explosive social context in which his art is both produced and received.
Likewise, the film, 'All Eyez on Me', does perceive that the way Tupac's music influences its listeners and followers, is as important as the art which created it. But, unfortunately, the film lacks the cinematic craft to express the connection between the maker and the audience. Using a very dull interview based narrative style, it gives us some idea of the volatility of Tupac's music and lifestyle, but then simply cuts to various attempts by social and political activists to curb it. Nowhere do we see or hear the listeners of the 1990s, explain why and how the music and lyrics connect so deeply, closely and personally with their own lives. This is the lacunae in the film.
The finest scene is when Tupac is about to be sentenced to jail for sexual assault, a charge he vociferously refuted all his life, saying that he had been brought up and surrounded by women and would never disrespect any one of them. The Judge, an elderly White man, is unmoved, and when Tupac is asked by him what he has to say for himself, he accuses the Judge of never looking into his eyes all through the proceedings; of never treating him as a person, as an individual to be addressed as a human being.
This scene works largely because of the skill of the man portraying him, Demetrius Shipp Jr., and also because it resonates politically as a statement on majoritarian culture anywhere in the world. Had the film better craft and imagination, it would have portrayed this music prodigy and his legacy in a more luminous light.

Activists of the Youth Front (M) of Kerala Congress march through Kottayam demanding culling of dogs
The state has witnessed many people being bitten and even mauled to death by canines and has appealed to the apex court to find a solution to this vexed problem
~By Nayantara Roy
In Kerala, man and his "best friend" are at war with each other. Various PILs before the Supreme Court and a Special Leave Petition by the State of Kerala are trying to resolve the serious and poignant issue of an abnormally large number of attacks on people by stray dogs and a subsequent backlash on the canines by humans.
Petitioners in favour of culling them have drawn attention to the phenomenon of stray dogs wandering around in packs, with access to a lot of meat and poultry products in garbage and from slaughterhouse refuse, who have apparently even attacked people in their homes. Children and old people going to school or for walks are frequently attacked and so are domestic animals. Several deaths too have been reported due to attacks by stray dogs.
However, petitioners in favour of animal rights have said in their submissions to the court that the indiscriminate and inhuman killing of stray dogs, often quite cruelly by angry citizens, is certainly not the answer. They desire that the state government adhere to the Animal Birth Control (Dogs) Rules, 2001 (ABC Rules) under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, a central Act.
These Rules provide for the capturing of stray dogs, sterilising and immunising them and then returning them to the place where they were found. The Rules provide euthanasia only for dogs suffering in some way, either from injury or illness, but not for killing healthy dogs. There is, however, a provision in the parent Act from which the Rules are derived, which allow for killing of dogs under a "law in force for the time being" and this is the legal issue being raised by those in favour of culling them.
According to a report of the Justice S Sri Jagan Committee appointed by the Supreme Court to decide and award compensation to victims of attacks by stray dogs, prior to the enactment of the 2001 Rules, stray dogs in Kerala were culled by municipalities. After the 2001 ABC Rules came into force, culling was stopped. However, sterilisation and immunisation as perceived under the Act took place only erratically, leading to an increase in the dog population. The report also says that changes in the garbage disposal system have contributed to the ferocity of the dogs owing to the access they now have to garbage heaps and meat products contained therein.
The report suggests that logically, after sterilisation and immunisation, some sort of identification should be placed on the dogs so that anyone bitten by a stray knows if it has been vaccinated or not. Anti-rabies vaccine for humans is expensive and the better quality one, which the report says must be made available at all government health centres, even more so. The report says that the cheaper vaccine has side-effects which affect some people. This happened when a seven-year-old girl became tragically paralyzed after suffering a reaction to the cheaper vaccine.
A November 2015 Kerala High Court judgment attempts to resolve the problem placed before it by a number of writ petitions, some filed by persons who would like to invoke provisions in the Kerala Municipality Act, 1994, and Kerala Panchayat Raj Act, 1994 (and Kerala Panchayat Raj (Licensing of Pigs and Dogs) Rules, 1998). These enjoin local governments to cull stray dogs, and there were others filed by animal rights activists who demand implementation of the 2001 ABC Rules. The High Court judgment held that the Rules being the product of a central Act, override the state Acts and hence have to be adhered to.
The government of Kerala filed a petition in the Supreme Court against this judgment, saying that Section 11(3)(c) of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, permits the destruction of strays under the authority of any law in force for the time being. The government argues that as Rules made under an Act cannot override a part of the parent Act, Section 11 (3)(c) allows the local Acts to operate as before. Furthermore, when the central Rules came into being, the Kerala Municipality Act was already in force. Therefore it was "the law in force for the time being".
The government naturally agrees that any culling, if required, should be done in a humane manner, ensuring that the animal does not suffer. Even the report of the Justice Jagan Committee said that while sterilisation may in the long run reduce the dog population, it is not of any help now when there is clearly a problem between dogs and humans and that culling or some other method is needed in addition to the ABC Rules.
In August 2016, the state government came up with an alternative to culling. This was a comprehensive plan to create dog rehabilitation parks/zoos in each panchayat while working in tandem with animal welfare bodies. It included steps such as creating a database on dog bites, presence of pack of dogs, proximity to unauthorised slaughterhouses, waste dumps, etc; to catch dogs with the help of trained personnel to sterilise and vaccinate them, fix an RFD collar, deworm and feed the animal for five days; put up suitable dogs for adoption; certifying it is safe to return particular dogs to areas they were captured from and so on. Unfortunately, this plan was shot down by animal rights petitioners who took the stance that all strays once sterilised and immunised, must be returned to where they were found.
Incidentally, the plan spells out proper adherence to the ABC Rules with the help of extra veterinarians and other personnel. It includes regular immunisation plans and weekly monitoring of the ABC programmes, funds for which will come from the animal husbandry department and local bodies.
In the meanwhile, the Justice Jagan Committee has been affixing compensation amounts to victims of attacks by dogs. The money is to come from local bodies. In September 2017, the state government filed a plea that there should be a Rs 5 lakh ceiling on the amount of compensation as local bodies were finding some of the amounts exorbitant and well beyond their capacity to pay. These included amounts of Rs 18.75 lakh, Rs 16.66 lakh, Rs 15.7 lakh, etc. In the 6th, 7th and 9th reports of the Jagan Committee, a total amount of Rs 93,12,855 was recommended in 76 dog bite cases. This amount, local bodies claim, is beyond their meagre means.
While the wrangling goes on, it is the top court's unenviable task to sort through this sad conflict between humans and animals for a piece of the planet. Several questions spring to mind, such as is it possible for "man's best friend" to become so ferocious merely because of excess meat in the diet or due to excess numbers? Or is more research needed? The suggestion of zoos for these strays could work as in many countries, dog pounds (stopgap places where strays are kept) operate as shelters as well as adoption centres. Animal welfare bodies could monitor them regularly to ensure decent living conditions for the dogs till the numbers come down and we need not have the guilt of culling on our collective conscience.

Loaded Potato Soup Recipe/
A loaded baked potato is transformed into a warm, delicious, comforting soup! The perfect fall or winter meal!
I spent today with my sweet lil' Sammy. If I could bottle up his cuteness and sell it, I'd be a rich girl. It seems impossible for one little person be sooo enjoyable and cute. I wish kindergarten would never come. Every day I press my thumb on time's giant pause button until it hurts. Now it's March. One month closer to school for my baby.
Ok ok, enough of that. Onto delicious topics. I have been excited to make potato soup for a while now, but I had noooooo idea just how delicious it would be. OH MY GOODNESS. I'd venture to say this is my new favorite homemade soup. I ate it for four to five consective meals.
Cook 8 strips of bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon, chop it up and set it aside. Drain MOST of the grease from the pan. Leave a little bit in there. Then throw some onion, garlic, salt and pepper into the skillet.
Stir that around for 4 minutes or so. Add it to a Dutch oven or heavy saucepan, along with chicken stock and peeled, cubed potatoes (approximately 6 medium Russet).
Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until potatoes are soft.
In the meantime, using the same delicious, greasy skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour.
Whisk until mixture is smooth and thick.
Add milk.
Continue to whisk for another 4 minutes or so, or until mixture is thick. Add the milk mixture to the Dutch oven.
Using an immersion blender or potato masher, reduce the chunkiness of the soup by as much as you'd like. This step is completely optional, as some prefer a chunkier soup. I used a potato masher to get rid of the big chunks.
Add bacon, ham and cheese.
Stir until cheese is melted and soup is warmed through.
Serve warm and top with green onions, sour cream and extra bacon, ham and cheese. All optional, of course.
This one is a keeper! ENJOY!
If you're more in the mood for a Twice-Baked Potato, I've got you covered there. My Soup page will give you a bunch of other comforting soup ideas, as well!
- 8 slices bacon
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper
- 32-oz. container chicken stock
- 6 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup chopped ham
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- sour cream, green onion slices and extra bacon/ham bits for topping (if desired)
How to cook LOADED POTATO SOUP RECIPE
- Cook the bacon until crispy in a skillet over medium heat. Remove, chop and set aside. Pour grease from skillet, but don't clean it out. Add the onion, garlic, salt and pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and fragrant, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add the onion-garlic mixture, along with chicken stock and potato chunks, to a Dutch oven or heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmering. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Use an immersion blender or potato masher to reduce chunkiness (if desired).
- Melt butter over medium heat in the same skillet. Add flour and whisk until combined. Add milk and continue to whisk until mixture is thick, approximately 3-5 minutes.
- Add the milk mixture to the Dutch oven, along with chopped bacon, ham and cheese. Stir until cheese is melted and soup is warmed through. Serve warm and top with sour cream, extra cheese, bacon bits, ham or green onion slices, if desired of the weekend!

This is post is part of our Beauty Buying Guide Series brought to you by our friends at Motives Cosmetics. Our Buying Guides are intended to offer you essential information that will allow you to buy 'Better, Not More'.
Pencils, powders, gels...which products do you need to acheive perfect brows? Take a look at our guide to find out! We'll tell you which products are best for what, and give you tips for getting beautiful brows.
- Before using any brow product, shape your brows using wax or tweezers. This will give you a clear, defined shape to follow as you apply brow products.
- Which shade to use for which product? When using gel, use the same shade as your brows or one darker. For pencils and powders, which create a more natural look, go a little lighter.
- Not sure what to do with the multiple shades in a brow kit? Use a shade a bit lighter than your brow color just under the arch to highlight it. Some kits include a skintone shade as well to use on the brow bone. You can also blend shades together to customize the perfect shade for your brow.
- No matter what brow product you use, brush through your brows with a spoolie brush afterward to make sure it's blended throughout. For the best brow shape, make sure to brush the hairs up and outward.

Micachu @ Cake Shop (more by Tim Griffin)
Welcome to the SXSW Hangover edition of This Week in Indie. Those who went to Austin might not want to go see live music, but for everyone else it's a boon. Most of these bands have been covered before so I'm just going to go night-by-night of the shows I'd recommend…
Reports from last night's Bell House show say Camera Obscura were in top form, so hopefully the same will hold true for tonight's show at Mercury Lounge. It's sold out, but I've generally had good luck getting tickets night-of-show, especially if you show up when doors open. If not, Pianos is right around the corner on Ludlow where you can catch Brit trio Micachu (who I saw last night at Death By Audio, they were great), peppy Australians The Grates, British Columbia's horn-heavy Basstronaut, as well as New York's own Leona Naess.
Friendly Fires @ The Annex (more by Kyle Dean Reinford)
Thursday begins the two-night-stint at Bowery Ballroom for NME-sponsored tour of FriendlyFires/White Lies/The Soft Pack. Both shows are sold out but I wouldn't be surprised if some tickets for both nights didn't become available. I've seen The Soft Pack (who are the odd men out on this bill of Brits) many times, same with Friendly Fires. Both are great. White Lies, to me, sound like an melding of Interpol and the Bravery, which isn't exactly a glowing recommendation, but I must admit I like the single "To Lose My Life." Missed them at SXSW so I'm curious to check them out.
Also Thursday is Ladyhawke and Heartsrevolution at Studio B. Both played Bowery Last night…
"Let me tell you, that was one great set for Miss Pip Brown of New Zealand. Despite all the retro 80s synth sounds and imagery, she's a rock chick at her core. You can pump your first or just dance to your heart's content. It's one of the finest debut performances I've seen from a foreign act." [Music Snobbery]
While I love Bowery, for dance acts I much prefer Studio B (even when it's 300-people too many packed) and tickets are only ten bucks.
Then there's the Australian BBQ at the Bell House, featuring The Drones, The Grates, Youth Group, The Resignators, The Boat People, Red Riders, and "way more." Plus, admission gets you free BBQ and one free drink. Tickets are a mere $12.
Friday marks the opening of Bruar Falls, a new venue in Williamsburg from the folks who brought us Cake Shop. It's located at 245 Grand St (Between Driggs and Roebling). Kicking things off are Denmark's Choir of Believers (check out the MP3 above), and Detroits synth-rockers Deastro who I've seen before and are worth checking out. Of course checking out the new venue might be reason enough to go.
Obits @ Santos Party House (more by Jonny Leather)
While they're locals, I gotta plug the Obits show at the Bell House. They put on a great show at the Sub Pop showcase during SXSW, their just-released debut album rocks, and they're playing with The Browns, who I also recommend, plus Lycaon Pictus and Rope.
Sky Larkin @ Mercury Lounge (more by Tim Griffin)
Deastro play again on Saturday at Cake Shop with UK band The Chap who I know nothing about apart from listening to the MP3 that's at the top of this post. But they look like they might be fun.
TWII (This Week in Indie) faves Sky Larkin play this month's Spicy Times party at Union Hall with locals Soft Black (not the Soft Pack) and Philly shoegazers Arc in Round. Last month's Spicy Times got a little out of hand, let's hope the same happens this time.
WAVVES – Todd P SXSW 2009
Fresh off their SXSW onslaught (including a truly wild, week-capping performance at Todd P's party in Austin Saturday night, video below), WAVVES return to NYC for three shows. Saturday night at Market Hotel (3/28) and then at Cake Shop on Sunday (3/29). Monday (3/30) they play Mercury Lounge with Canada's DD/MM/YYYY and NJ's hazy Real Estate. All three shows are with Minneapolis' Vampire Hands. I prefer WAVVES live, where the songs blast through a little more, than on record where I think they go just a bit too crazy with the distortion. I'm sure all three shows will be out of control.
Additionally: Glasgow's legends Primal Scream plays Webster Hall. Friends who saw them as SXSW said they were in top form (and they're touring behind their fine, Bjorn Yttling-produced Beautiful Future), so if you've never seen them it seems like now would be a good time. Tickets are still available. The 'Scream also play Music Hall of Williamsburg on Sunday (3/29) and tickets are available for it as well. Both nights MGMT-cohorts Kuroma are the openers.
Also: Danish ensemble Efterklang play Mercury Lounge with Shilpa Ray, who played a great set at theofficial Brooklynvegan SXSW Showcase (tickets); and Glasvegas and Ida Maria at Music Hall of Williamsburg (sold out, but Webster Hall 3/30 still available).

A Closer Look at Retail Management Software Systems
The management of retail operations can be quite complicated. This is because there are numerous areas in any retail operation that require diligent management. In any retail operation there will be an entire supply chain, as well as a warehouse or stock room, as a sales floor of some kind as well. If you also factor in the fact that your retail staff should primarily work to assist your customers, then you can see how difficult managing a retail operation can be.
The fact is that most retail operations are unable to afford the kind of management staff that is large enough to micro manage this kind of operation. Management and staff need the kind of technological support that will make it possible for them to keep track of personnel and merchandise without having to micro manage every aspect of the operation personally. The best way to accomplish this is to implement a retail management software system.
Businesses will benefit greatly from the implementation of retail management software systems. With a POS or point of sale software system, you can easily track merchandise as it comes into your store and goes out onto the sales floor. A POS software system works by tracking products electronically, using the unique UPC code and serial numbers. Your retail management software system can help you by generating reports, tracking merchandise and keeping track of sales.
Each time an item comes in from your supplier it is scanned into the system and generates a report that your staff and management can use for easy referencing. Every day, when your new merchandise comes in, it will instantly be added into the inventory, and information about what is in the store room and on the sales floor will be accessible to your employees as they help customers. This can be very helpful when you inventory your merchandise as your retail management system will keep constant track of exactly what you are supposed to have on hand.
When all is said and done, you want to put your retail staff in a position where they can concentrate on helping customers rather than counting merchandise. For more information about retail management software, the best thing you can do is take a moment to visit the website of a POS software developer. To get started, all you have to do is perform a search engine search for a POS software system and other retail management systems.

How I Got Here, Part 44
Fabulous Friday!
Well, got a fair amount of comments yesterday. I appreciate those who said "appreciate your post—it's timely." Guess that's confirmation that I should tell this story, even though I was dragging my heels about it.
Megan—you asked how extensively I plot. I'd say I'm in the middle ground in this area. I know the premise, basic twists and definitely the ending twist of a book. I just don't know all the details. These become clear as the characters are fleshed out and their motivations lead them to action. Although I have tried it, I simply can't plot every chapter and scene of a book ahead of time. Just doesn't work for me.
Okay, we return to our NES. We left off with a rather decent cliffhanger, if I do say so myself. Rats. Shoulda wrote that post today and left y'all hangin' over the weekend.
One serious thing I want to say up front. This story is not typical. As a result of this experience, I don't equate every bad thing that happens to me as the direct work of some demonic force. I try to keep a level view on such things. On the other hand . . . I'm a lot wiser about spiritual warfare than I used to be.
Final action in yesterday's post—I prayed for God to show me whether the sense of oppression hanging over me and my inability to write was a direct spiritual attack. I can remember this prayer so well. I was jogging on the country road by our house at the lake in Idaho. I was up there by myself for a few days—trying to write some pages of Capture the Wind for Me.
The next day early in the afternoon I received a call from a writer friend (WF). I hadn't talked to her in some time. She'd had to track me down, starting with calling our California home. She had no idea of what I was going through, including my hard time with writing. And she had no details of the current book I was working on.
"You'll probably think I'm crazy," she said. "But I felt so strongly that I needed to call you. I fought the feeling all morning, but—no, I'm meant to talk to you."
Talk about a hook of an opener. She sure had me. "Okay. Shoot."
"Well, I had a dream about you last night. And I'm supposed to tell you about it."
Whoa. Those are prayin' words. There had been numerous times in the past when God had led me to interpret a dream for someone. So when anyone says to me, "I had this dream . . ." I immediately begin praying for an interpretation if there happens to be one. I assured WF that the thought of God's sending someone a dream with a message for me was not crazy to me at all. She didn't know this about me (it's not something I talked about), and was relieved to hear I wouldn't want to send her to the loony bin.
"Okay, so here's the dream. You and I were standing in a circle with a bunch of other people. I couldn't see any of their faces. We were all praying in front of this building. I don't know what the building is, but somehow I do know that it's very important. It was made of brick and had a large front door with aluminum around it. Some of the bricks around the door were lighter in color than the rest of the bricks.
"Suddenly while we were praying, a black cloud of pure Evil came out of the sky. It swooped down, and I could see it was an evil spirit. And it wrapped itself around your neck and lifted you off the ground." She drew a breath. "Brandilyn, I saw your eyes, and you were terrified. I immediately started praying for you. And that thing left you and came to me. I woke up in a terror I can't even explain. I've never had anything like that happen to me before. All I could do was pray and say the name Jesus, Jesus, Jesus over and over again. And I recited scripture. And the fear passed."
Oooookay. Myriad thoughts went through my head. The first of which was—WF may think twice before ever praying for me again.
There was no subtlety about the evil spirit part of her dream. I had been in the presence of spirits myself before. I know that feeling of pure evil. If you've ever felt it, there's no denying it. I also knew that God had led WF to do exactly what should be done—call on the all-powerful name of Jesus.
But I wasn't getting the building part. And I had to believe, if WF sensed it, that this aspect of the dream was very important.
"Describe that building to me again," I said.
"Yeah, I feel really frustrated because I don't know what it's supposed to be." WF said the same things she had before. The bricks. Some lighter in color around the door. And that large door with aluminum around it. "You know," she added, "like the door on a grocery store."
The knowledge hit me in the chest. How had I not recognized this? For a minute I could hardly speak.
In chapter one of Capture the Wind for Me, a tornado hits the town of Bradleyville. The old grocery store, made of brick, sustains some damage. Some of the bricks around the door are loosened and blown away. When the building is repaired, the new bricks are lighter in color than the old ones.
WF's building was straight out of the book I was trying so desperately to write.
Well, God, guess I have my answer.
Yes, I was under spiritual attack. And I was going to have to pray, along with the help of some trusted friends, against this attack.
One thing I know about evil. Just like what happened in WF's dream, it doesn't like to be prayed against. And it's likely to fight back.

Great post!!! Can't wait to hear what happens next!!!
Oooh, our God is so AWESOME. If the part of our lives that is hidden from us was visible, fiction writers would be out of business. I.E. Elisha's frightened friend who's eyes were opened to the fiery battlefield surrounding him. How could any of us come up with a scene as amazing as that?
Well, Brandilyn could maybe still spin a suspenseful tale.....or two...after all we all keep coming back for our NES fix. Guess we're BC-NES junkies.
Thanks for sharing your story. I wonder if artistic thinkers are more spiritually discerning?
- Katy said...
You are going to keep going, aren't you? This is something I need to understand, too.
- Lynette Sowell said...
This is exactly where I KNOW how powerful fiction can be. I live in a world of people who are quick to pooh-pooh Christian fiction as mere fluff and entertainment. It makes me keep on track--and realize that sometimes there is a battle going on. Have you have had to battle yourself to get a book finished (barring any spiritual attacks)? I find I'm my own worst enemy sometimes.
Happy Friday~
Brandilyn, I gave a copy of Capture the Wind For Me to my niece for Christmas last year. She's read the book three times.
Also, in her English class they are required to read a book--any book of their choice--during class. She brought your book to school. Isn't it cool that your book has made its way into the public school system?! I know those demonic forces didn't want that to happen!
Love you and appreciate what you do!

I understand, BC. The more in tune I am with the Lord, the more strange things happen. Two years ago I felt something come into our bedroom (before the evil cats). I could even feel it (physically) sit on the edge of our bed. I just started saying the name of Jesus and it left. It's hard to explain what evil feels like, but you sure do know it when it's there.
- Rich said...
Now I know where the "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus" comes from in Dead of Night!
Evil is real. When I was in full-time ministry, my co-worker woke up in the middle of the night and saw a dark presence in her bedroom. She was scared stiff and prayed to Jesus. When she turned on the light, it was gone. This was right after a victorious ministry event. The most convincing thing was her two cats: normally rambunctious, she found them hiding and trembling down stairs. They wouldn't go back into her bedroom. After a few days of this, friends came and prayed for her and her home. When they finished, she found the cats asleep on her bed. Kind of reminds me of Balaam's ass in Numbers 22:28 (seriously).

Maybe you should use the tag, "Seatbelt Suspense, Riveting Reality!" Coming from an occultish family, (grandfather toppled tables, sister read Tarot cards, I dug into astrology,) I know what spiritual battles are being fought around us daily, especially if we are about our Father's business. It is so important when God gives you or someone else a dream, that they are interpreted by the Holy Spirit. I had a panic attack just a month ago as I was stepping into a new door in the writing world. Brain freeze like I've never had before! Exactly as Brandilyn describes it. I had the ACFW prayer loop pray, and within an hour I could feel it lift. By the next day I was my same wacky self, ready to tackle my writing. I had two dreams later, both where I was in what normally would have been a scary place for me, but I had perfect peace. There was a little girl with me in both dreams, whom I comforted as we walked around. I believe that little girl was me, and that I need not fear the unknown. I'm working on two different writing projects that are the next step in my career. Scary? Yes. But I'm holding God's hand, just like the little girl was holding mine.

Hi Brandilyn! I'm a new poster. I borrowed "Eyes of Elisha" from a fellow teacher at school and I loved it. It was the first book of yours that I've read and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of your suspense novels.
I just read my way through your archives and I can't wait to hear the rest of this story. It's been really encouraging to me as I'm working on writing a novel.
I also have a question for you. I love Christian fiction and have ideas that I'd love to write for that market. But I also feel like I should write for the secular market as well. Not anything that compromises who I am as a Christian, but rather tackles some of the tough issues in a novel that's targeted to non-Christian readers. So my question is this: Do you think God can call a Christian to write for the secular market?
- Dineen A. Miller said...
Hi Brandilyn,
Just caught up on the blog, and when I read the last two posts I got goosebumps. Why? Because I felt like I was reading my own current struggle. Writing has been like a trickle the last few weeks and the interruptions have been unbelievable. My kids are under attack too. I feel like I'm walking in acquagmire! I've been warned of this before by a WF but didn't understand. Now I do, but I'm not sure how to fight it. My prayers and request for prayers have been more directed for my perseverence and my family's. Maybe it's time to ask for prayers of protection. Any suggestions?

Razor bumps will easily show up after a shave – and they have no manners as they show up even around the bikini area, what a disservice! Razor bumps consist of hairs that do not grow above the skin, but they extend out of the hair follicles and grown under the skin, resulting in lumps of flesh that are usually swollen and reddened. Well, they can come about because of numerous reasons, especially if you use an old razor or do the shaving the wrong way. With the sensitivity of this region, here are a few quick tips on how to get rid of razor bumps around the bikini area.
How to get rid of razor bumps fast :
Prevention is better than cure – do you better get it right in the first place. If you have been using one razor for multiple shaves, the problem starts here. Ensure that you change your razor and use a new razor for every shave. Ensure that you are shaving the hairs in the right manner, reversing the procedure will definitely get you on the wrong foot. Also ensure that you have the right shaving cream and apply the right after shave immediately after shaving. This will minimize the possibility of any bumps occurring.
Choose cotton pants or breathing clothes. While wearing tight synthetic clothes may seem pleasant and fashion like, it is actually not the right way to do it. Keeping your hair regions or any other part of the skin too tight and under poorly-aerated fabrics will force a change in the way the hair grown and behave. Ensure you use cotton garments that will ensure free circulation of hair and promote healthy hair growth. This in turn minimizes the chance of razor bumps appearing.
Treatment about how to get rid of razor bumps :
Witch hazel is a very strong anti-septic that naturally encourages proper hair growth and prevents any abnormal hair growth after shaves. To get the better of it, clean the affected area, preferably with warm water followed by a direct application of it. It will also help to reduce irritations as well as the redness in the affected area.

Aspirin has also been found to be a vital alternative to majority of the remedies in treating razor bumps. To use, take two teaspoons of warm water in a cup. Place two pieces of aspirin in the cup and allow it to dissolve until it forms a slow flowing paste. Clean the affected area and use a clean piece of cloth to apply a thin sheet of the paste on it. Allow it to stay for two to three hours then rinse off with clean water.
Hydrocortisone cream is known for its effective anti-inflammatory effects that also help soothe irritated skin. The cream is sold in majority of the drug stores and can be bought for multiple reasons. To use this cream, wash off the area with warm water and use a clean cloth to apply it evenly.
Hot compresses are effective at opening skin pores to free trapped hair and ensure that it grows above the skin. Use a clean towel and dip in boiling water before pressing it on the affected region repetitively.

"It's my own design. It's my own remorse." – Tears for Fears, "Everybody Wants to Rule the World."
This is not a pleasant topic with regards to tattoo talk, but it's one of those things that's just reality (so much this post might become a page at some point). Perhaps you got inked on a drunk dare? Was it a dare at all? Was it in a fit of rage that you tattooed "fuck (insert object of hatred)" on yourself or something else ridiculously offensive and inappropriate? Did you make the mistake of tattooing your significant other's name on you (the worst possible thing to tattoo on yourself as far as I'm concerned), only to wind up separating? Whatever the case, there is only one person at fault for tattoo regret, and that is the person who got the tattoo. See the quote above. The artist doing the tattoo assumes no responsibility for your request to permanently mark your body.
A tattoo is a semi-permanent, life-altering decision. It should not be undertaken without serious thought and consideration. Some things that increase the risk of regret are getting "flash" tattoos (i.e. standard designs out of a book or a trendy design), getting a tattoo under the influence of substances or getting one purely to look cool or for shock value. These are all big mistakes (see my "Getting Your First Tattoo" page for tattoo dos and don'ts).
"All for freedom and for pleasure; nothing ever lasts forever." – T4F, "Everybody."
Alas, if you do have a tattoo you regret, rest assured all is not lost. You DO have options. The first obviously being tattoo removal, but this is not desirable in my opinion. One, it's ridiculously expensive. Two it's many times more painful than having the tattoo applied to begin with. Number three you're liable to still see the scar tissue where the tattoo was (a tattoo is more or less a colored scar). Last, there's no guarantee it will even work or completely fade the tattoo. As such I do not recommend this option though I am throwing it out there.
The more desirable option in my opinion is a cover-up tattoo. That is, placing a new tattoo over an existing one to mask or hide the original tattoo. Cover-up tattoos tend to be on the expensive and painful side (as you will be tattooing over scar tissue, see above), but the result is much more desirable than removal as it will be more aesthetically pleasing. A good cover-up artist can work with just about anything and turn it into a tattoo you will be proud of.
Seeking out a good cover-up artist can be difficult and not all tattoo artists have the expertise required to do cover-ups. Those who do them generally specialize in them and don't come cheap, but nothing good ever comes cheap. Your best bet is to call around and ask see some portfolios with before and after comparisons before you commission a cover-up.
I'm still on the fence as to whether or not to do a cover-up on my semicolon. It's small so it would be fairly easy to cover-up, but at the same time it is symbolic to me in a way (despite being a "flash" tattoo). On the other hand it has some religious connotations as the founder of Project Semicolon injects a subtle hint of her religious faith into the movement, whereas I am an atheist. As such I'm torn. If I do cover it up with something it will be something with the same symbolism but a different symbol.
Sound off! Do you have a tattoo that you regret getting? Have you had a tattoo removed or covered up? Let's start a healthy discussion.

Basically, there are four elements or players in an affiliate marketing and advertising method, namely the merchant or the retailer, the network, the affiliate or the publisher and the end consumer.

When you're very first starting out you happen to be going to be inundated with distinct merchandise for advertising There very first thing that you require to do is investigation on the merchandise that you're going to market. For instance, date of sale, amount of sale, the precise merchandise involved in the sale, and maybe what banner or link was employed to produce the sale. For affiliate marketers, network services incorporate a central database of available affiliate programs organized by category and recognition to pick from, a basic registration platform for those programs, reporting tools, analytics, and payment processing. Even if this could seem noticeable, the newbie would possibly not realize what affiliate promotion requires.

And nowhere else will you see a far more motley assortment of lame, useless, and content material-poor websites. That way, you market a best rated affiliate program with large possible of earning and great group.
Produce a list of prospective keywords and phrases for your web site, and use keyword evaluation resources, such as AffiloTools , to examine search volumes and competitors toward identifying the most profitable keywords.

AUDUBON, Pa. (January 12, 2011) – Globus Medical, Inc., the largest privately held spinal implant manufacturer in the world, today announced that it has acquired substantially all of the assests of Facet Solutions, Inc. of Hopkinton, Mass. The terms of the acquisition are undisclosed. Facet Solutions, Inc., a leader in development of facet arthroplasty devices, has been actively involved in the development of facet arthroplasty devices since 2003 and has completed pilot studies in Brazil, Europe and the United States. The leading product in its portfolio is ACADIA™, an unconstrained pedicle screw based total facet replacement system. Currently, the ACADIA™ facet replacement system is in an active phase III IDE study for symptomatic spinal stenosis compared to a posterior spinal fusion control.
"With Globus' strong historical focus on posterior motion preservation and reputation for highly creative products, the acquisition of Facet suppliments our posterior motion sparing technology platform with a product nearly half way through its pivotal clinical trial," commented David Paul, chairman and CEO of Globus.
In 2009, Facet acquired certain assets of Archus Orthopaedics, including their intellectual property portfolio, which collectively resulted in over 100 patents and patent applications concentrated on posterior motion preservation technology. "Combined, this creates the strongest intellectual property portfolio in this segment and a platform product that will allow Globus to address a multitude of clinical indications and treatment scenarios in the future," said Mr. Paul.
In addition to the current US IDE study, the ACADIA™ device has seen limited release in the EU. "With the success of our expanding international sales efforts, the addition of the ACADIA™ device will further differentiate Globus' product portfolio and we intend to expand ACADIA's™ availability in select markets internationally immediately," noted Dave Demski, President and COO of Globus.
