Star Wars: Flaying Solo
by JD ([email protected])
In the year 32 BBY battle raged on the surface of Naboo and high above the
planet in the cold blackness of space. Young Anakin Skywalker, guided by the
force, flew a successful attack against the ships of the Trade Federation and
destroyed the droid control ship.
Also caught by the ferocity of his attack and by the Naboo fighter pilots
crossfire was a vessel stopped by the Trade Federation blockade. Newly out of
port, it's Twi'lek captain loved her ship like a child. Anakin's fire cut
through the hull and killed the crew. The force sensitive Twi'lek Captain
bled to death over her control panel as the badly damaged ship drifted away
from the blockade, away from Naboo, away even from shipping lanes to glide
silent, cold and dead through infinite space.
In the year 28 ABY the galaxy was even less peaceful, being gripped by war
with the Yuuzhan Vong. The elite X-Wing unit Rogue Squadron was instrumental
in the defense of the New Republic; the lynchpin of any successful space
campaign. The very finest pilots of the Republic; men and women who could put
their craft through the most torturous of maneuvers in space dog fights and
destroy the hardiest of foes. The youngest member, 19-year-old Jaina Solo,
flew with a skill to match her uncle Luke when he destroyed the Death Star.
The petite pilot, along with every other pilot in the squadron, would happily
bet on herself to win any dogfight against any foe. Her Jedi training
augmented her flying skills and she could fly blindfolded through a minefield
if she had too. The conversation over the channels was quietly professional
as the squadron dropped out of hyperspace, though it turned to surprise when
they found the Vong ships totally free of life. Fires burned in escaping
oxygen from great rips in the hulls of the vessels.
Jaina could tell immediately that there was something wrong with what she was
seeing, more than just the destroyed ships. The information on the Vong's
fleet movements had been exact; this should have been a perfect ambush, but
someone else beat them to it!
It took a more experienced pilot over the channels to nail what was wrong.
"Look at the way that metal's twisted outwards. Whatever destroyed these
ships was inside them!"
"I guess you don't need to outfight something if it's already got bombs in
it," offered Jaina, just before the penny dropped for New Republic's elite.
Machine code chattered from their R2 Units as each vessel received remote
Shockwaves rocked through space as the droid units in the X-Wings
exploded violently. Fast cut off screams of pain and surprise sounded over
communication channels as Rogue Squadron was destroyed from within. Jaina
looked from side to side as her ship lurched sideways, buffeted by the
explosive deaths of her comrades. Shrapnel tore through Jaina Solo's X-Wing
and a heat-seared helmeted head and part of a body slammed against her
cockpit; the clear window held as blood smeared across it.
Static blazed through Jaina's radio as a half destroyed transmitter from the
nearest X-Wing sputtered on the last of its power, then silence reigned. The
young pilot felt great sadness and anger, but Jedi training dampened the
emotion and she tuned into the Force. She felt the old vessel as it emerged
from the shadow of a burning Vong battleship, and then her damaged systems
registered the unavoidable pull of a powerful tractor Beam.
Jaina tried contacting the vessel on an open hail, but there was no reply. It
was many times larger than her small fighter - though both were dwarfed by
the Vong hulks - and while she was hazy on the exact model she believed it to
date back to when her grandfather Anakin would have been a boy - back in the
last decades of the Old Republic. She realized that whoever was on the ship
had sabotaged both the Vong craft and the New Republic fighters. The
information on the Vong movements had also surely come from the battered old
vessel's crew.
Jaina Solo wondered why she alone of Rogue Squadron hadn't suffered a quick
and violent death; as a powerful and already experienced Jedi she thought
herself more dangerous to any foe than many of her dead comrades.
The small fighter touched down in the ship's landing bay; the kindest word
for the interior of the craft was decrepit. There was evidence of automated
repairs, but rough, as if by someone who didn't know what they were doing and
had to learn as they went on. Instead of standard droid units, a panel was
being wielding onto a nearby wall by specialized cables, some had attachments
at the end to hold the panel to the all, another was a welding torch and so
on. The pilot watched the process from her cockpit, and wondered why the ship
didn't have droids or crew doing the work.
The repair cables gave some indication as to how the ship managed to stay
flying after so many decades. Jaina wondered who would travel on such a ship.
Some kind of perverted strategic genius with no respect for the lives of
either the Yuuzhan Vong or the New Republic pilots. As a Jedi, Jaina did not
consider revenge - but she would make sure this threat to the New Republic
was neutralized by any means necessary.
The pilot needed at least to deactivate the tractor beam and get herself off
the vessel. She popped her cockpit and flipped out, drawing and igniting her
purple tinged lightsaber as she landed. Nobody had tried to attack and the
repairing cables ignored her so she pulled off her helmet and tossed it back
up into the X-Wing. Jaina shook out her dark brown hair and walked towards
the door out of the bay. Motors whirred, and she turned to see gun unnoticed
emplacements destroy her X-Wing.
They re-targeted, green bolts of sizzling energy death, and Jaina backed
away, swinging her lightsaber in blurring arcs to deflect the attack, never
enough to overwhelm. Jaina was being forced from the bay, but the guns
weren't being aimed to kill her. The phrase `It's a trap' was never far from
her mind. Her loose orange flightsuit moved easily against her body as she
backflipped through the door and smacked the close button. The thick metal
door shut from four directions and met in the middle, and Jaina was safe in
the corridor.
Now she either had to find another way off of the ancient rust-bucket, or
more likely use the old ship itself to get back to base station and report
the fate of Rogue Squadron. She felt as if she was being watched, but she
couldn't see anyone. Jaina's Jedi trained mind couldn't feel any life,
anything even that felt like a droid, yet there was emotion in the old ship.
If she really stretched her mind she could almost taste a Twi'lek mind but it
felt far more machine than any Twi'lek. The Jedi pilot moved cautiously down
the corridor, feeling out for the source of the emotion. There was a lot of
anger, and hatred - both born of pain. It was only when floor panels burst up
in front and behind her and hundreds of cables fired out that she realized
the emotions came somehow from the ship itself.
The ceiling panels dropped seconds later and even more cables burst down,
writhing like snakes or tentacles or even prehensile tails. Jaina could
barely see past the coils of metal in either direction as they closed in. She
slashed out with her purple lightsaber, the energy weapon humming through the
air as it carved instantly through the thinnest cables and wiring and more
slowly through the thicker, tougher cables. They seemed to be controlled the
same way as the welding tools. She pushed back hard with her mind, keeping
the attack at bay as she tried to hack a path through.
There were cables of all varieties and girths from large to cables that were
actually wiring. Some were made of shiny metal; some rubberized or coated
with insulating plastic, some with strange tool attachments and many just
with smooth rounded ends onto which attachments could be put. The lighting
was mostly blocked by the mass of cables; the black insulating plastic
wrapped around the sharpest ended wires made them hard to see as they
slithered amongst the thicker, stronger cables.
The ceiling panel above her head dropped too, and she had to reach up with
her hand and force-throw it away before the heavy panel landed on her. She
managed it, but now the cables and wires were writing on all sides, and Jaina
struggled to hold them back with the force. Sweat poured down her face with
the effort, while even slicing the thickest cables caused the ship no pain
and there seemed to be an endless supply. The force shield around the pilot
shrank with every passing second until the floor bucked up beneath her feet
and tipped her into the mass of cables behind her.
Jaina grunted as the cables slammed roughly into her back. She felt coarse
and smooth edges through the orange flight suit. The ship's thickest cables
lashed around her arms instantly, coiling along her muscular limbs and
preventing further swings of the lightsaber. Still more coiled around the
petite pilot's short legs as she struggled. Wires whipped painfully against
her fingers, dragging the lightsaber from her grip. Yet more of the thin
sharp-ended wires dug into the material of her flightsuit, tearing it to
shreds around her; her belt, gloves and other equipment was dragged loose
too. Jaina's dark brown hair shook from side to side; for every cable she
knocked away with the force, another took its place in the assault.
She was quickly stripped to her boots, and growing increasingly physically
tired. Her limbs ached and deep scratches bled freely across her whole body;
one across her right breast was stinging particularly painfully. Jaina hadn't
said a word. This assault wasn't being carried out by an individual amenable
to reason or someone likely to be cowed by shouted threats. She just kept on
struggling, muscles bulging beneath her skin as she pulled against the cables
that painfully secured her limbs. She managed to stomp her boots once or
twice, but the ship seemed impervious to them.
Fresh wires emerged from ceiling above Jaina's head; the ship had her
restrained and stripped and was now ready to target specific areas. She felt
a cable around her throat, forcing her chin up, but not strangling. Jaina
turned her dark eyes to the ceiling just in time for two wickedly sharp wires
to spear down and pierce each pupil dead center. Jaina finally screamed as
her ocular humors leaked around the sharp points. She pulled her head
backwards as far as she could, but the little wires followed, surging forward
and coiling into balls inside Jaina's dripping eye sockets.
They kept forcing more and more inside while Jaina's tear ducts streamed down
her face. She couldn't believe she was blinded, nor the pain it brought.
A second pair of long wires dropped down from the ceiling to floor level, and
then doubled back up through the air. Jaina felt the very thin wire curve
loops around the base of each of her bare breasts. The metal cut in
agonizingly tight on the first loop. Jaina's small but firm breasts bulged
outwards as the wires looped thrice more around each tit until they only had
a few inches left and then speared their sharp points through the blinded
Jedi's stiffly protruding nipples. The pressure on her tits meant blood
spurted quickly around the duel wire-piercing and from the earlier scratch on
her right breast.
Thicker wires dropped from the writing mass above; there were small pliers on
the end of each. They darted into Jaina's screaming open mouth and grabbed
teeth. The cable at the screaming Jedi's throat kept her head in place as six
teeth were yanked bloodily from her wide maw. Blood spattered down onto the
now darkly purple and bleeding flesh of her strangled breasts as the little
white teeth were withdrawn into the ceiling. The wires in Jaina's eyesockets
were now coiled so tightly that the ship could jerk her head from side to
side; it did so, wrenching her neck painfully without quite going far enough
to break it.
Amongst the writhing cables on the floor came one specially adapted to wield
a lightsaber. Jaina's had been de-activated, but the metal weapon tore
painfully at her cunt when the cable forced it inside her dry hole. Blood
dribbled down her barely furred pussy lips as she was brutally raped with her
lightsaber. The sensitive membranes in her pussy were shredded by the weapon
she built herself.
Another of the small sharp wires was called into service, and Jaina's screams
reached a new pitch as her tiny clit was pierced by the sharp metal. The
little wire forced itsway through Jaina's bud and then curved back to knot
around itself below. The ship drew back the slack on the wire and tugged on
the wailing Jedi's swelling clit. Another six of the sharp wires came from
the walls, three on either side, and pierced Jaina's Labia. They tied back on
themselves like the wire through her clit, and then spread her bleeding lips
wide around the pounding rape cable.
She could mercifully no longer feel her breasts, the nerves deadened by the
torturous wire constricting the flesh, however her nipples still bled freely.
Jaina's chin was drenched with blood from her pulled teeth and ocular fluid
from her eyes. He thighs were similarly wet with blood as the ship shredded
her cunt by twisting the lightsaber's straight edges within her. Jaina knew
none of the wounds were fatal, and held out hope that her attacker would err
or stop to gloat, and that she would overcome and escape. Her throat was
hoarse from screaming and she thought she no longer had the strength to use
the force. In fact, she was subconsciously keeping herself awake, aware and
out of shock with it.
The thickest cable yet emerged from the floor, far thicker than those that
wrapped her limb and drenched in highly irritant ship oil. It tapered to a
thin point before thickening out to the diameter of a volleyball for the rest
of its oil drenched length. The ship forced it up Jaina's tiny tight ass
without ceremony; The fighting ring of anal muscle expanded quickly and then
burst as the thick cable thundered into the 19 year old pilot's virgin
rectum. Jaina's body jerked forward, tugging on the cunt piercing wires.
Her pelvis was shattered by the brutal impact as the ship slammed the end
right up to her bowel. Jaina's rectum was destroyed in one agonizing blow as
her buttocks were spread obscenely wide by the violation. The oil added an
additional layer of torment, stinging her like burning acid as it worked into
her torn rectal lining. Jaina's boots were lifted off the floor, and her body
weight was forced down on her ass; the lightsaber cable raping her cunt
slipped further inside at the same time.
She started to piss herself from the sheer agony in every part of her body.
The waste stream had barely started when a small pencil-thick cable homed in
on and pushed up into her urethra. The flow was stopped instantly as the
cable burrowed up past a ring of muscle into Jaina's bladder. The urgent
pressure and need to pee somehow registered even through the storming prison
of agony her body had become. The pressure grew worse as the ship forced more
of the cable up her piss-tube, coiling it into her bladder like the cables in
her eye sockets. Thicker and faster moving than those wires, it took scant
seconds to stretch her bladder to breaking. Jaina could do nothing as
internal pressure inflated and burst; piss and blood dribbling around other
organs. The ship withdrew the urethra cable, and a heavy stream of bloody
piss sprayed from Jaina's crotch.
It seemed as if the ship could do no more to her, when new wires, gleaming
in the light and lacking entirely in insulation twisted in from the writing
mass. Poor blinded Jaina had no idea they were coming until they punctured
her skin in dozens of places, passing like worms just under the surface and
emerging at far points. They curved around inside her legs, and emerged back
from where they had entered, and her back and flat stomach both looked like
the skin was ribbed from beneath.
The thick cables that had long held her limbs withdrew back into the ship and
Jaina was left suspended only by the incredibly thick cable that was now
stretching her large intestine, the coils in her eyes, and around her breasts
and now hundreds of thin wires just underneath her skin. The lightsaber
wielding cable picked that moment to finally tear through her bartered cervix
and shove the weapon into Jaina's uterus. Jaina tried to move her limbs, but
the tiny wires were too strong with so many wrapped under her skin.
Even limb, her neck, her face, her scalp, back and front, all had tiny wires
under the skin. The little wires all moved at once, up, down, or from side to
side the side. Jaina's skin was flayed from head to ankles and tugged loose
as her flight suit had been; it fell in great bloody sheets and small scraps
to the metal corridor; her scalp and rich brown hair slid off like a wig and
left her blood slicked skull gleaming in the light.
As suddenly as the attack had begun every cable and every wire withdrew back
into the ship. Unable to uncoil properly, the thin wires sliced off her
breasts; the skinless bags of meat had been close to falling off in pieces
anyway, and Jaina's femininity splatted onto the cables withdrawing into the
floor. Her clit was rent in twain, and the nub end dragged away as Jaina's
bloody swollen pussy lips were ripped open by the withdrawing wires.
The cable pulled out hard from the incredibly gaping abyss that had been
Jaina's Solo's rectum. The ship had to tug hard, and Jaina heard and
definitely flesh tearing before the thick oily cable sank back into the floor
with Jaina's intestines being uncoiled and dragged along afterwards. A river
of blood and steaming shit drained out around her slithering disembowelment,
while Jaina's wet red legs kicked uselesslessly.
The rape cable in Jaina's cunt twisted the weapon horizontally and then
ignited it. The long purple shaft burst out through the visible muscular wall
of Jaina's stomach and then sliced downwards towards her crotch; the smell of
cauterized flesh filled the air as the cable pulled out of her cunt, slicing
through one fleshy side and finally cutting through her internal clitoral
tissue an the bloody remains of her clit. Still conscious Jaina keened
quietly, desperate for the force to end her life as blood flowed down her
skinless body and de-breasted chest - though it poured in greatest quantity
from around the dark purple intestinal tube that connected her ass to the
Jaina's petite body was by then suspended above the only ground by wires that
had coiled into all the space inside her eyesockets. The pressure on her neck
added to the dying Jedi's sum suffering as the flayed pilot swayed gently.
There were still scraps of skin hanging from her body, and she brushed them
with shaking fingers as she found the strength to stroke across her raw
torso. She slipped her hands into the cauterized wound in her stomach, and
followed the edges down to the gap where her clitoris had been.
Jaina had never believed such agony could exist, nor that her Jedi training
and mental control could be used against her to keep her alive to feel every
bit of it. The pressure on the cables coiled in her empty eye sockets told
the ship they were going to break under the weight. The blood spattered cable
gripping her lightsaber rose again from the floor. The ship slashed it around
her, and then horizontally. Jaina felt all four cuts as her arms and legs
dropped away, along with the severed length of her intestine. Semi digested
food poured from the neatly sliced tube. The stump wounds were instantly
cauterized by the purple beam and despite the agony of dismemberment, the
pressure on her neck and skull lessened by half.
It took another three minutes for Jaina Solo's mutilated body to finally die
suspended by her eye sockets, swaying in the breeze from the ships oxy-units.
The unbelievable agony was 100% present right to the end, with the only
respite being death as her organs and brain gave up from blood loss and
massive trauma.
The ship's strange melded mind was a mixture of the long dead Twi'Lek captain
and soulless machinery and it felt something akin to joy through it's
decrepit hulk as Jaina Solo suffered and died. Monitored communications told
it that Anakin Skywalker was dead, but that his descendants - including one
who bore his name - lived on. The first of them had been punished in his
stead and the rest would follow.

Army Day: Report says conditions for soldiers improving
Last Tuesday was Armenian Army Day throughout
the Republic, a new holiday honoring the nation's
Officers visited Yerablur Memorial graves of
war heroes and Minister of Defense Serge Sargsyan
made a speech assuring that the 11th standing
army of Armenia is capable of national defense.
But the holiday was without festivities, as Sargsyan
said a decision was reached to not have mass celebrations
to avoid having the day politicized during this
Presidential election season.
President Robert Kocharyan sent messages of thanks
to Army officials and made a visit to a military
unit during a campaign stop in Armavir. There,
the President told an audience:
"We will continue to pay serious attention
to our army. And here are two small figures which
are indicative of that. The salaries of officers
have increased 2.5 times during the past five
years and the number of murders in the army decreased
several times."
Kocharyan's statement concerning the historically
alarming number of non-combative deaths was in
reference to a report recently issued by Military
Prosecutor Gagik Jhangiryan.
The report shows a dramatic decrease in crimes
within military units, decreasing by nearly half
between 1998 and last year - from 1,922 crimes
to 987.
The number of soldier deaths (frequently caused
by soldiers attacking each other) decreased from
177 in 1998 to 62 last year.
"Our army is 11 years old and it's natural
that it is not without shortcomings that the society
has, while crime is an objective companion of
the society," Jhangiryan said. "Still
in the army crimes are being committed."
Avetik Ishkhanyan, president of the Helsinki
Committee of Armenia rejects the implication that
crimes committed within the army are reflective
of crime among the general population.
"If we take that point of view, then is
the corrupted authority a reflection of the society,"
says Ishkhanyan, whose organization has advocated
for soldiers' rights. "I think that it is
a way to justify (the problem)."
The military prosecutor admits that "dedovshina"
is prevalent in the Armenian Army.
Rooted in a Russian word, "dedovshina"
essentially defines the condition in which soldiers
who have served longer terms become the unofficial
leaders in units. They then create something like
gang conditions, in which newer recruits are bullied
to pay bribes and are often physically assaulted
to assure their compliance.
"The administrative system of the Ministry
of Defense is doing its best to reduce relations
not corresponding to regulations," Jhangiryan
said, adding that "dedovshina" is a
heritage of the Soviet Army.
Again, the human rights advocate bristles at the
explanation for unacceptable conditions.
"Apart from the Soviet "dedovshina"
our Army has imported colonial orders," Ishkhanyan
says. "What a phenomenon is that? Isn't it
caused by the fact that many of the commanding
staff had criminal past?"
Not excluding the trend of decreasing numbers
of crimes in the army, Ishkhanyan says: "In
the given case we deal with human lives and not
statistics. The death of each soldier is a tragedy
and the number 62 is horrible for me."
Decision 2003: Candidates declare property
and income

Army Day: Report says conditions for soldiers
Health Help: Ministry of Healthcare offers
six Saturdays of free treatment
Talk Time
In 19 days Armenia will elect a President. Until then voters
will be talked to by candidates such as Stepan Demirchyan
(top). And some, such as President Robert Kocharyan (bottom),
will be talked back to.

AcousticView – Rumination Regarding Resonance
AcousticView By Aaron Rowan
A Rumination Regarding Resonance
Would you believe me if I told you that music is a fundamental force of the universe, on the same level as gravity and magnetism?
Famed Russian pianist Sviatoslav Richter once gave a concert in Sofia, Bulgaria in the winter of 1958. A flu epidemic was raging during that time, and there was a great deal of coughing going on among the audience that night. But a recording of that recital reveals something interesting: there were passages of Richter's performance during which the coughing fell silent. It is as though Richter had the power to suspend the physical symptoms of an entire theater full of people through his music.
This intangible power may also extend beyond affecting the emotional (and physical?) tides within the human soul, and into the larger realm of nature. A few years ago I viewed a documentary exploring the relationship between music and the natural world. I do not usually go for documentary films, but this had me mesmerized from first frame to last. It's called 'The Reach Of Resonance,' directed by musician and writer Steve Elkins. It follows four pioneers working in the fringes of the musical realm:
-Bob Ostertag; creating a symphony using the movements of a street riot as a template, and exploring other social/political issues through the lens of music; -Jon Rose, inventor of unique musical instruments, traveling the globe playing barbed-wire fences with a violin bow; -Performance artist Miya Masaoka, using music to interact with insects and plants; -and composer John Luther Adams, discovering the music-like structure hidden within the geophysical phenomena of Alaska (such as the Aurora Borealis.)
The film has been screened and won awards across the globe. You can find more info and upcoming screenings at www.reachofresonance.com. I cannot recommend this highly enough – it will change the way you think about music forever.
This year's installment of the Modesto Unplugged Music Festival is seeking all those who wield the power of music to submit their original work in the Americana, bluegrass, folk, country, and related genres to our songwriting contest. For a $10 entry fee, singer-songwriters will have the chance to win a cash prize, and more. Five finalists will be invited to perform their songs as part of the closing night Festival showcase, and the top 3 as judged by a panel of accomplished songwriters will receive a share of the prize pool. The entry deadline is Saturday February 1. You can email firstname.lastname@example.com to get instruction on where to send your entry package and what to include.
This songwriting competition will serve as a segue into the as-yet-unnamed women's songwriting conference being spearheaded by our very own country-rock ambassador Patty Castillo Davis. This will be held a few weeks after MUMfest wraps, in late April or early May. It will be a whole day of memorable performances and workshops featuring noted songbirds from around California and beyond. More info in the coming months!

|Shayn Solberg
Spencer Martin was an assistant at Henry's Garage and a friend of Douglas Fargo. He hosted a weekly movie night at his trailer - an event attended by Fargo, Vincent, and Taggart. His multimedia setup was sophisticated enough to intercept digital broadcasts of first-run movies and powerful enough to generate multiple noise complaints (Alienated).
In the episode "Alienated" he hacks into a Global Dynamics satellite during a movie night to watch "They Came to Conquer." The satellite sends signals that cause the people there (Jo, Fargo, Taggart, Vincent, and Spencer) to become paranoid and attack Senator Farraday, believing that he was the host of the alien from the movie. In the end, Sheriff Carter saves the day and manages to get Farraday out alive without anyone getting hurt or killed.
Spencer was also an amateur musician, whose style was described by Zoe Carter as "Moby meets Devo" (Primal). Spencer left Henry's orbit some time prior to Season 2, it appears.
- Spencer hasn't been seen or heard from in the new timeline.
- Spencer ran the small shop next to Henry's Garage, seen only in the Pilot episode.

Fortunately, RaenSpirit (the child formerly known as Kouryou-chan) and I were there. I pulled off my sweater. "Give me your head," I said as I folded it and slid it under her head.
It was a middling seizure. Full unconsciousness, but no thrashing, drooling, or dramatic breathing. A lot of people came up to us; RaenSpirit assured the people behind her that she was fine, and I had to make sure the fellow in the next chair over didn't call 911. The staff at the Starbucks, who have seen this before, were reassured when I gave them the OK hand signal. At least this time I didn't have to go through the checklist over the phone, nor pay ambulance fees just to be told to get two ibuprofen in her and help her sleep it off.
Omaha scratched at her nose, which is her usual sign that she's coming around. A minute later she sat up, and I escorted her to the car while RaenSpirit bused the table.
No drama, no lights or sirens. That's the way a serious but intermittent disability should be handled.

The speaker was Dr. Fairlie Firari. In summary, she gave a very interesting a presentation on communication styles at work, specifically on peoples e-style of communication using email. What follows are a few key points from her talk:
- Important fact, 40% communication at a business is over email.
- Email has is own intrinsic problem. It being that 50% of emails are misunderstood.
- No such thing as good or bad styles. We must learn to adapt to others.
- There is a correlation between e-style and face to face communication.
Her main proposals:
- We did not learn everything we needed to learn in kindergarten, specifically how to listen. So its a good idea to take a listening class.
- Effective communication is hard work, thus you must learn to adapt. You will see benefits such as respect, and you will develop stronger business relationships.
- Understand your own style, and of course understand others as well.
Maybe the most interesting thing she talked about was people's style under stress. There exists something called "The Z phenomenon" which describes how styles change due to stress and how it is very predictable of how your communication style will change depending on your dominant style.

They had been my favorite progressive metal band since the debut "The 1st Chapter". Now Circus Maximus released their third studio album "Nine" on June 2012, in the span of five year after their 2007's "Isolate" album. A quick listening say this album slightly moving on their previous sound. Nine is more heavier and they slowly discontinued their more power metal type of progressive metal and move on more thrashy feel.
The intro Forging and calmly enter Architect of Fortune give the listener complex drumming and approved odd meter progressive riff. The vocal line is again more complex and less high chorus that very demanding as in The 1st Chapter album. But the story driven singer approach seems quickly paid off after 2 or 3 repeated listening. Namaste quickly to follow, coming with exotic scale guitar riff, Namaste, a salutation commonly spoken in India, also provide strong chorus in within their complex music composition. Game of Life still sound as the extended outro of Namaste but a song on its respect. The flow break with the fifth track, Reach Within which is a calm ballad, the form on which Circus Maximus usually very strong at. I Am is by far something revisit of their previous sound, very likely from their 1st Chapter album sound. Used is keep up progressive composition although the guitar riff seem to be the most 'generic' riff for progressive song. After the light, The One, the album then closed with two epic composition, Burn After Reading and Last Goodbye.
It's a complex album, with some unexpected twist in the progressive composition. Slightly move away from the high pitch chorus driven as in their previous album, which is actually their strong point before. The singer Mike Eriksen actually has a very progressive sad voice that fit in this type of atmosphere. The guitar solo still very demanding but the keyboard solos now slightly reduced and more into the background. Drumming are also very complex and up to the limit. Great progressive works.

We present a noninterferometric single-shot quantitative phase microscopy technique with the use of the transport of intensity equation (TIE). The optical configuration is based on a Michelson-like architecture attached to a nonmodified inverted transmission bright field microscope. Two laterally separated images from different focal planes can be obtained simultaneously by a single camera exposure, enabling the TIE phase recovery to be performed at frame rates that are only camera limited. Precise measurement of a microlens array validates the principle and demonstrates the accuracy of the method. Investigations of chemical-induced apoptosis and the phagocytosis process of macrophages are then presented, suggesting that the method developed can provide promising applications in the dynamic study of cellular processes.

By Renee Rusler, Park Ranger
February 2009
The missionary group arrived at Fort Vancouver on September 12, 1836. It had been 4 ½ months since the Whitmans, Spaldings and Mr. Gray had left Liberty, Missouri. It had been even longer since they had left their homes. The missionaries had reached the Oregon Country and their new lives stretched before them. But first, a short rest.
Narcissa wrote letters to her family that described their stay at Fort Vancouver. One can almost hear the delight in Narcissa's voice as she reports back to her mother:
"After chatting a little we were invited to a walk in the garden. And what a delightful place this. What a contrast this to the barren sand plains through which we had so recently passed. Here we find fruit of every discription. Appleas peaches grapes. Pear plum & Fig trees in abundance. Cucumbers melons beans peas beats cabbage, taumatoes, & every kind of vegitable, to numerous to be mentioned."
Narcissa wrote extensively about the food:
"There is such a variety I know not where to begin. For breakfast we have coffe or coaco, Salt Salmon & roast duck, wild & potatoes."
"For dinner we have a greater variety. First we are always treated to a dish of soup, which is very good...After our soup dishes are removed, then comes a variety of meats, to prove our tastes. After selecting & tasting, changes plates & try another if we choose, so at ever new dish, have a clean plate. Roast duck is an every day dish, boiled pork, tripe, & sometimes trotters, fresh Salmon or Sturgeon, yea to numerous to mention...A rice pudding or an apple pie is next introduced. After this melons next make their appearance, some times grapes & last of all cheese, bread or biscuit & butter is produced to complet the whole."
However, not every dish was as enthusiastically received:
"I thot I would tell what kind of a dish we had set before us this morning. It is called black pudding. It is not a favourite dish with us Americans. It goes from the table untouched. It is made of blood & the fat of hogs, well spiced & filled into a gut."
Narcissa was very pleased with her stay:
"I think every time I look into the glass if Mother could see me now she would not think my cheek bones were very promenant. We have every comfort we can ask for here, enough to eat & drink & are as well provided for as we should be in many boarding houses in the States"
But the missionaries could only rest for a short time. They still had a mission to build and winter would arrive shortly. The women stayed at the fort while the men left to start building their new homes.

Frog and the girl he is now dating has apparently been skipping the condoms since day one. He also had unprotected sex with some girl on new years eve. The one condition I had for me being ok with him having multiple partners was that he used condoms every time. Him and the girl he's now dating has been having sex since mid-October. Oh, and somehow somewhere he got chlamydia again, so I was off to the clinic for the third time in as many months.
I don't ever want to see him again.
I'm starting to regret ever meeting the guy.

Decius Caecilius Metellus The Younger, young government lawkeeper in Rome, has just had a murder occur in his district. Life in Rome is dangerous, even in the glorius days of the Forum, but this is out of the norm. Decius uncovers corruption in the government-- aside from the usual bribery common to Romans-- and investigates, only to have two more murders occur right under his nose. That's not even counting the intrusion in his home, which resulted in his being attacked and robbed. Is Rome falling apart around him, and if so, is the government actually behind it?
That's my summary. Here's the one I pulled from http://www.italian-mysteries.com/JMR01.html
In this Edgar Award nominated mystery, John Maddox Roberts takes readers back to a Rome filled with violence and evil. Vicious gangs ruled the streets of Crassus and Pompey-- routinely preying on plebeian and patrician alike. So the garroting of a lowly ex-slave and the disembowelment of a foreign merchant in the dangerous Subura district seemed of little consequence to the Roman hierarchy. But Decius Caecilius Metellus the Younger--high-born commander of the local vigiles -- was determined to investigate. Despite official apathy, brazen bribes and sinister threats, Decius uncovers a world of corruption at the highest levels of his government that threatens to destroy him and the government he serves.
This was unlike any murder mystery I've read before, largely due to the period it's set in. I haven't come across much fiction set in ancient Rome, and I was highly intrigued by how unusual it was for me. I love the period, and it shattered my usual ideas of what a murder mystery is. The culture is different and interesting, giving lots of little details to the crime that would not make it possible in another setting. It was brilliantly done.
Roberts's style didn't grab me, really. It didn't get in the way of the narrative, but I wasn't able to sink into it like I can with some other authors. It wasn't particularly good, bad, strong, weak, or anything, really. The prose didn't get in the way of the story by any means, but I don't feel like it was a great compliment, either. Roberts writes well, but it's not a style I would remark on to others.
My Thoughts
I liked this book, though it didn't grab me the way I thought it would. I was interested, and I liked the characters well enough (particularly Decius) but I never felt like I was fully drawn in. I always felt like an outsider looking in, which wasn't bad, really. But it wasn't the best way to consume a book. I never really got into the whole mystery reader deal, where I start trying to guess the murderer, either. The book led me along, and I followed, not dragging but not rushing forward, either. It was highly interesting, but not a driving force. I'm in no rush to read the next book, but I think sometime in the future, I may pick it up out of curiosity. It's a comfortable sort of book, one to settle in with when you're looking for a mental stimulation but you have the time to relax.
Would I Recommend This Book? Sure! If you like a good mystery but want something out of the norm, this is definitely a book for you. If you're interested in the Roman Empire, this is great fiction for you. It was a far cry from what I normally read, but I enjoyed it. I give SPQR 1: The King's Gambit a patrician 4 of 5 stars.

Hi Product Hunt community! I'm Tadas, creator of Simple OKR, and I'm here to answer any questions you may have. I built Simple OKR to make tracking goals and progress simple and easy with objectives & key results. It's built for individuals or small companies who are implementing OKR process.

Check it out at https://simpleokr.com I'd love to receive some feedback and I'm happy to answer any questions!
Marius@maephisto · Software Architect
@tadasv love the idea, but the single plan pricing is kind of a bummer (imho too expensive).
@maephisto Thanks! What would be your ideal price? Or a better question, what changes/features/improvements would make you pay current price? Other OKR products price per user/month. Typically ~$10 user/month. Here you get one price, no matter how many users you're going to have and also there won't ever be feature tiers. Current price does not favor single user accounts very much currently.

A new short story in progress! Will probably undergo some edits.
The Community is about 500 people strong. Deafness is prevalent. So is lung cancer. So is depression. It's hard to say if depression is more prevalent among those dying than among the relatively healthy. A mournful sorrow has settled over all the people like the dust, like the dirt and the starvation. You have to measure above that, or call the prevalence of depression 100%.
A quarter of them make the five mile trek to the launch site every week to collect supplies. The spaceships soar into the sky at five hour intervals, arcing into the heavens and disappearing into unknown worlds. The refugees stand at the chain link fence, fingers intertwining the metal, the dust covering them uniformly. Men, women, children. Almost indistinguishable, but for the relative differences in size. Some days there are no supplies to give them. They stay until nightfall before taking the trek back. The sickest stay behind to be buried by The Caregivers at the launch site. The line of passengers does not give up its steady march, nobody turns to look at them. Eventually the dead and dying are taken inside.
It would be simple enough to load the healthiest members of The Community onto a rocket and take them to one of the destination worlds. The resources are there, though of course they don't know that. It would be simple enough to reallocate the resources. But this is not the only community left like this in the dying world. This is not the only problem we're abandoning on the dusty surface of the Earth, underneath the scarlet skies, beside the toxic algal seas. We did not spend so much, give up so much, to bring them all back with us. There will be no dusty children twining their fingers through a chain link fence in the new world. We were promised more among the stars.
Scarlet sits on my lap, gently squirming and sucking on a candy cube. I press the stethoscope to her small, childish chest and quietly shush her when she giggles. Her lungs rasp with every breath. Typical, but beneath that I hear the tell-tale build-up of fluid that signals a more serious problem. She's been sea bathing.
I sigh and pull out an anti-fungal spray. I quickly apply it to a meat cube and hand it to her. Scarlet squeals with delight and quickly devours it.
Her name is common among the lower classes, the ones left behind. Scarlet, Coral, Sienna, Carmine, Ruby, Cardinal, Cherry. Some of the less intelligent ones just call their children Red. It's no wonder, about the only natural colour left in the world is red. The sky is red, the algal blooms are red, the precious meat cubes are red. By now it's hard to remember a time when blue and green were the colours of Earth.
Scarlet has finished her meat cube. She pulls my hair, twining my long black locks into a braid. She gazes up at me with muddy brown eyes, deep-set in sallow brown skin. "Have you been up there?" she points to a rocket soaring up into the sky. "Is it beautiful?"
I have been up there. As a former head of the Dignitaries Hospital, I was one of the first. The spaceship landed on Viridia, the closest destination planet. The planet required a partial protective dome because of the levels of copper in the atmosphere, but it was the closest planet and at the time we couldn't afford to be picky. The sky was a brilliant blue, clean of the massive levels of dust that already characterized the skies of Earth. The sea was green, a product of the cupric composition of this planet. The blood of the animals was green, their blood proteins similar to our hemocyanin. We had to process the meat to an almost indistinguishable paste before the levels of copper were safe enough to eat. This was before we developed the meat cubes.
It was a foreign, unfamiliar world. But at night, the skies were completely clear. There were no man-made lights on Viridia yet. You could see the nearby nebula, the vast swath of the Milky Way. The moon was a bright blue orb in the sky, many times the size of our own. Earth was not visible from this distance, but my husband, an astronomer, pointed out a cluster of stars he assured me housed out former solar system.
"Yes." I answered Scarlet. "It is beautiful."
She smiled her toothy smile and gently tugged my hair. "Will I ever get to go?"
I pressed her into a tight hug to avoid having to answer.
I went with The Community during the next trip to get supplies. Leaving them at the fence, I went around to the main gates. Flashing my badge, I soon entered. The launch site was bustling. Evidently the next launch was in a half-hour.
I went around to the big barracks that housed The Caregivers. Mary was sitting at the desk, filling out population reports. I coughed gently and she turned around, flashing me a benevolent smile.
"Hello Mei. So you have your report?" she asked kindly.
I mutely handed her the book with all the names of the refugees and their status.
"I only had to cross out 76 names in the month I was over there. The winds might be dying down. Though I suspect it's because you've been allowing them more rations."
She smiled and wrote something down on a pad of paper. I stood by silently as she flipped through the book and recorded the birth rate, the frequency of ages, the prevalence of disease.
"And how many more came while you were there?" she asked finally.
I paused for a moment before answering. "130."
Mary grimaced. "Is it just me or are the restrictions getting tighter?"
"Why should they be? There's plenty of room. The Controllers have the resources from before the collapse, and the rockets too. There are probably just more people coming to try their luck."
She sighed and didn't answer. "Have you decided if you want to stay? Become one of The Caretakers?" she said, changing the subject and handing me a the refugee book back.
"I'll stay another month," I answered slowly, "But this world…"
She nodded. "I understand."
I stood awkwardly, thumbing over the book. "Have you been to one of the planets? They are beautiful."
"They are not the same. I have been, and they are not the same. I thought it would be better but…" She shook her head. "I won't stop you from going. But do consider it."
I nodded and looked down.
"Is that all?" Mary turned back to her papers.
"Yes. I'll see you in a month." I bent my head down in a gentle bow and turned to leave.
It was not uncommon for those without families to stay on Earth and become one of The Caregivers. Those of us with medical or survival training were obligated to return for stints to assist the people left on Earth, so long as we did not have responsibilities on one of the other planets. Humanity did not want to seem heartless.
Mary lost her husband in one of the wars that sprung up early in the century. If I had not seen her file, I would not have believed she was ever married. It was common for people to simply forget the loss of a loved one, when the losses flooded too fast to keep track. Mary never forgot. She cut her hair short and swore a vow of celibacy. Whether she kept it in the aftermath of the wars, when food was hard to come by if you didn't sell everything you had, or when any semblance of humanity was lost to the roving, starving gangs of radiation burned madmen…
She left presumably. We all left, those of us who could. The space program was in its zenith in those years. The majority of any country's wealth was spent developing the rockets that would take us all away from the problem that plagued the Earth. I remembered handing over my card to the steel-faced General, watching him hold it to his scanning red eye to make sure it wasn't a forgery. He frowned slightly and I felt the barrel of a gun butt up against me. My husband was in another room, presumably going through the same process. Finally I was given my card back.
"Class 2. Doctor, Dignitaries Hospital," he barked to the notary sitting at the desk behind him. I was given a green token and sent forward to the launch site.
We stood together, my husband and I, awed by the magnificence of our salvation. The rocket towered above us, glinting white, a depiction of Earth blazoned in vivid greens and blues on the nose. We stepped in holding hands, smiling broadly at our luck in being able to leave the horror behind.
In another month I left The Community for good. I had crossed out 92 names and written in 203 more in that month. Mary shook my hand warmly and wished me luck. I did not see her again, not that I expected to. This was my last stint on Earth.
When I stepped off the ship onto the foreign black soil of Viridia, my husband was waiting for me.
"Mei. I have missed you."
"Victor. I have missed you as well."
We embraced underneath the foreign blue sky, as we had that first moment we stepped out of the spaceship. We had been so joyous, so pleased with the totality of our escape. Now we embraced mournfully, knowing we would not escape this world, knowing there was nothing left behind under that dusty red sky.
I named our first born child Scarlet. It was not an uncommon name, even here where the very blood was green. It was sentimental, a memory of the friends people had on Earth, a reminder of our native red sky.
They would still live on these other planets. The Scarlets and Rubys we had left behind. They would still live among the strange plants and the green blooded animals. The familiar rasp in the lungs of those born on Earth would eventually be replaced by the green hue in the skin of those who were genetically engineered to survive here. And they would be named Scarlet.
Sometimes I looked up at the sky in Viridia and thought I saw the familiar red tinge. If I squinted, I thought I could see the dust clouds rising up from the south. It was long since we stopped bringing people up from Earth. But the launch pad was kept in pristine condition. But the rockets still arced to the sky in a test of our resolve. Back on Earth, people were dying. Back on Earth, the dust was engulfing everything we had ever known. There was nothing to save. We kept moving forward.
Personal notes for revision:
Why was Scarlet sea-bathing when the oceans are so toxic?
Is there a government? Who is organizing these space flights?
Talk about unrest on these planets
Look over the tenses

Read about the remake of the classic Udat case.
Some more hardware arrived, clear DangerDen reservoir and a Panasonic slotload slimline CD-RW and DVD reader.
Before anything more can be done on the front the location for the slimline CD must be decided. After hacking up the drive cage to four pieces and adding another 3 this is the result.
No pop rivet are used, instead Loctite Super Steel (epoxy weld) was used. Quite impressive how strong and easy to use it was.
Pop rivets are not likely to be used in any future mod...
The slimline CD was installed using two strips of 3M doublesided tape.
For those of you who never used a slimline drive, this is how the IDE adaptor looks like that you need when used in a normal computer.
The front had to be completely rebuilt, it wasn't much to salvage when it looked like a swiss cheese on steroids. So with a bit of cleanup this was the result, a big square hole.
A new front panel was made from 1mm thick aluminium sheet. The angular pieces are attached with epoxy weld and will hold the reservoir in place.
Pump and reservoir fitted for testing, it will be a very short piece of tube between the pump and the reservoir.
The only remaining bits to do regarding the cutting is a slot for the slimline CD and a hole for the powerbutton.

Let the pumpkin season be officially open. This cake is seriously moist and delicious and I promise it won't let you down.
What you will need:
- 250g pumpkin puree / butternut squash puree
- 2 eggs
- 200g caster sugar
- 100g brown sugar
- 300g flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 125ml vegetable oil
- pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice*
*HACK: make your own pumpkin spice with 4 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons of ground nutmeg, 2 teaspoons of ground ginger and half teaspoon of ground cloves.
Start by mixing the dry ingredients: sugar, flour, baking soda, sal and pumpkin spice. Mix it all very well and then add the eggs, one at a time. Mix it very well with the electric mixer and gradually add the puree and the oil.
After all the ingredients are combined put the mix in an rectangular cake pan (previously buttered and floured). Let it bake in the oven for 20 minutes at 175 degrees. Keep checking the cake as the top part tends to overcook. If you think the temperature is too high, reduce to 150 degrees.
After the cake has baked, let it cool down and after 30 minutes you can remove it from the pan. Serve with chocolate and/or oranges and enjoy your little bit of Autumn :)

Cottages for Kids is a Fantastic Tradition in Rosemary Beach
November 4, 2013 by SoWal Staff
We love the annual Cottages for Kids event, and the amazing display of creative playhouses in Rosemary Beach throughout the month of November! In its seventh year, Cottages for Kids is an annual "fun-raising" event for Children's Volunteer Health Network (CVHN), and a wonderful South Walton tradition for kids and families. About the only thing better than watching kids play on the beach is watching them crawl over, around, and through the incredible custom playhouses every year!
This year five cottages will transform the East Long Green in Rosemary Beach into a whimsical village of dreamy playhouses that look like they have popped out from the pages of a fairy tale. This one-of-a-kind event kicks off Saturday, Nov. 9 at 10 a.m., during the Flutterby Festival hosted by the Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County.
"2013 brings some exciting additions to the Cottages for Kids event," said Shaye Smith, CVHN marketing & events coordinator. "There are Cottages inspired by local communities as well as one Cottage being designed by TLC Designer Vern Yip. Everyone needs to bring their families out this year and experience these unique Cottages."
The Cottages will be open for play and discovery each weekend through Nov. 30. Other events to check out during Cottages for Kids in Rosemary Beach include Rosemary Beach Unleashed on Nov. 17, the 30A 10K on Nov. 28, and Old Town Holiday on Nov. 29 & 30.
Using a lot of imagination, innovation, hard work and a little elbow grease, area builders, architects and community members come together to design and construct unique and amazing children's playhouses. The designs are earth-friendly, kid-approved and the materials are safe and healthy for kids and good for the environment.
Cottages for Kids 2013 Builder Teams:
- Randy Wise Homes with the Freeport High School Key Club
- Corestruction
- Heritage Builders with The Merchants of Rosemary Beach
- Davis Dunn Construction with Studio A Architecture
- CHUCK, LLC. [new this year!]
2013 Cottages for Kids sponsors include SoWal.com, The Merchants of Rosemary Beach, The Rosemary Beach Property Owner's Association, The Rosemary Beach Foundation, H&M Rentals, Wild Olives, Rip's Professional Lawn Care, SETCO, Silver Sands Premium Outlets, Employment Screening Services, Mermaids of 30A, Alys Beach and Visit South Walton.
"We are so grateful for the community support and the people in it that make Cottages for Kids a successful event which allows CVHN to continue fulfilling its mission and serving our local kids," said Zach Billingsley, CVHN executive director. "Through events such as this one, CVHN has been able to help more than 5,900 local children in the past 8 years and facilitate over 37,500 procedures for these children."
These carefully crafted mini houses may be purchased by the public and this year, CVHN will offer two ways to win a Cottage. Raffle tickets will be available for purchase at the event and also online. The second way to win one of the creative Cottages will be to bid during the online auction. "Buy It Now" prices will also be available onsite and online.
Cottages for Kids is a family-friendly event that is sure to please children of all ages. The gates are open during the times listed below for visitors to tour and enjoy the cottages. Although there is no entrance fee to the event, donations for CVHN are accepted. Come on out for a fun day at the Cottages, purchase raffle tickets, and make an online bid on your favorites!
Proceeds from the Cottages for Kids raffle and online auction support CVHN's ongoing efforts to make sure every child in the community has access to the health and dental care they need and deserve.
For more details, event schedule, to purchase raffle tickets or bid on a Cottage, visit www.CottagesForKids.org or call 850.622.3200.
Cottages for Kids is presented by SoWal.com and benefiting CVHN.
Children's Volunteer Health Network, Inc., HEALTHY HAPPY KIDS, is a faith-based 501(c)(3) organization, established in 2005 in response to Walton and Okaloosa County's large population of low income families who are unable to access high quality health services due to the unavailability (or inadequacy) of insurance. CVHN seeks to enhance the lives of uninsured and underinsured school-aged children by facilitating free, immediate access to medical, dental, vision and mental health services by utilizing a network of over 95 local physicians, dentists and healthcare providers. CVHN also operates the 'Just for Grins' Mobile Dental Clinic that visits local elementary schools and opened the CVHN Dental Clinic in 2012.

Timeless French Lavender swirled with the lonely tones of Blue Iris. This complex, sophisticated blend is deepened by the addition of rare Liquidamber resin, the sweet vanilla of tonka musk, murky black myrrh and incense smoke.
Posted by cheryl-ann downey on 5th Mar 2018
I was in the mood to treat myself so I got a bottle of this and it is AMAZING!!!
It is so unique and mysterious I can't get enough of it. I wore it out and 2 strangers asked me what I was wearing! It's dark and decadent without being overpowering and it lasts all day.
This is a must have for me, I can't wait to try some of the other fragrances from this line!
Posted by Beth on 20th Oct 2016
I bought this on a whim - this time of year with Halloween decorations everywhere & pumpkin everything, I always feel a little dark & dangerous, despite my blonde hair & freckles! So glad I did. This perfume smells NOTHING like any fragrance you could find at a perfume counter. When I spray it on I immediately feel like I am in some little niche perfume boutique in France. The aroma of this perfume is addictive! Dark & mysterious, yet there are feminine floral notes - very upscale & expensive smelling! Everyone asks what I'm wearing & it's so fun to tell them the name! LOL

Household Relocation through Buyouts after Natural Disasters: An Eastern North Carolina Case Study after Hurricane Floyd (1999)
Danny de Vries, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
James Fraser, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
The U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has sponsored buyouts (acquisition and relocation programs) in order to relocate property owners out of flood prone areas. This paper describes obstacles and difficulties of relocation as they were experienced by flooded property owners from socially disadvantaged neighborhoods and local buyout managers in two comparable, eastern North Carolina cities (Kinston and Greenville). Both cities conducted buyout programs after the devastating flooding caused by Hurricanes Dennis, Floyd, and Irene in the fall of 1999. Based on a survey among buyout participants (n=152) and in-depth interviews with program managers (n=12), the results show that the major variables increasing the difficulty of making the decision to participate among property owners included the extent to which property owners owed money on their mortgage and a number of variables dealing with issues of inequity and mistrust. The paper provides suggestions how equity and trust building could be integrated in buyout management.

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 06/10/2012
Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
< >< My Prayer >< >
Abba Father to talk about forgiveness is one thing, and while it is never easy looking back and forgiving others and yourself; walking in forgiveness is completely another thing. Practicing forgiveness in real time in the now of the moment is so challenging. It can only happen through oneness with You in Christ Jesus through consciousness of the Holy Spirit. The only chance i have is to start each day praying that You create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me, for my one walk in and with Jesus today. Make me a channel of Your peace and love, a example of Your forgiveness. Always standing having girded my waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod my feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which I will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. Always asking that You bless me and mine in fulfillment of Your will and keep us from evil and pain; reminding us that if we get nothing else done this day, let us spend it loving You and others first, as You love us. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Great cookbook for bariatric patients
It's called "Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery". It has over 140 high protein, low fat recipes for those who have had Lap-Band, bypass, BPD-DS, or others and includes serving guidelines for certain weeks after each type of surgery. There are some fantaastic-looking recipes inside, and it also gives counts for calories, protein, fat, carbs, cholesterol, fiber, and sodium, in case anybody keeps track of those things.
It even has some great hints on how to stock your pantry and fridge with spices and other tasty must-haves in order to make our foods taste good (i.e. not lacking).
My fill doc and his nurse were very hyped when I told them about this, especially since their office is trying to do a "recipe of the month" to give out to people. And the foods in this book (though I just got it and none have been prepared by me) sound and look like things that would come from a five-star restaurant.
It certainly proves that healthy doesn't have to taste like yuck.

I got this cook book early after my surgery and it just didnt have foods I would eat.ReplyDelete
Your right the food does sound and look like it comes from a 5 star restaurant but they also seem like you have to be a 5 star chef to cook them.
Let me know what you think .
Hehe, I guess I hadn't looked at it that close. I need to find something to try after I get back from my folks'. I just got a second fill yesterday, so I'm on liquids through tonight and mushies the next two days. I need to move this book cuz the food sounds good! :)ReplyDelete
WOW! Thanks...off to Amazon to order my copy...ReplyDelete
Hey Beth. The book sounds wonderful. I am a huge foodie and I love cooking gourmet foods. I just ordered this. Just curious if the recipes are the correct portion size for bariatric patients?ReplyDelete
Hello, LBJ! I believe it does give correct portion sizes as it is very specific in the hows and how much for different WLS patients.ReplyDelete
Hopefully this link will work to one of the pages inside the book:
If you look in the bottom left-hand corner, it gives specifics for the different WLS patients.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- August gold is down 1.6% at $430 an ounce in New York, with about an hour left in the shortened trading session. Prices were set to close well below last week's close of $442. "The fed activity has really pulled the rug out from gold for some reason and the tarnish is setting in on the yellow metal," said Kevin Kerr, president of Kerr Trading International. Metals trading will end by 12:10 p.m. Eastern for Independence Day weekend.

Amiibos welcome
Gaming Insurrection is in the video game journalism industry for a reason: We love to play video games. We also have a well-known love of anything retro and this extends to Nintendo. That love has grown from the days of the NES to the recent Wii U. With the advent of amiibo in 2014, the opportunity to collect Nintendo-related merchandise skyrocketed and became a driving force for the Wii U and the 3DS series.
GI began collecting amiibo with the purchase of a Wii U and the NFC Reader/Writer in 2015, and we've been immersed in the world of collecting and unlocking since. We celebrate our love of the Nintendo figurines this issue with a look at how they work and what they can be used for within our growing collection of games.
LISTEN: Gaming Insurrection Editor-in-Chief Lyndsey Hicks delves into the world of amiibo collecting.
