Chapter 459: The Call of the Spirit, Acknowledgement of the Painting
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Millman97
"Spirit Euphoria?"
Elder Chen and Elder Lu stared at one another and froze. "How... How is that possible?"
"The chiming should be heavy and deep, but this sound is sharp and resonates with one's soul... Only the legendary Spirit Euphoria is capable of inducing such euphoria in one's heart..." Hall Master Sai said.
The duo staggered.
Thinking back, given the agitation they had just felt from the sound a moment ago, it was indeed unlikely to be the doing of a bell chime.
Could it be really... Spirit Euphoria?
But how was that possible?
Elder Chen's face twitched, and his lips turned white.
He had just proudly declared that the other party surely wouldn't be able to identify even a single treasure, yet not only did the other party manage to do so, he even induced Spirit Euphoria...
Did he have to be so formidable?
"The Acknowledgement of a Treasure, Spirit Euphoria! This is the call that formidable spirit weapons induce when they're excited?"
Hearing Hall Master Sai's words, all those who shot gazes of sympathy toward Sun Qiang were dumbfounded. It was as though someone had forced a turtle into their mouth, making it impossible for them to close it.
They thought that this fellow would lose so tragically that he might be leaving stark naked, but he managed to make such a huge comeback...
It was fortunate that no one was silly enough to wager with him previously. Otherwise, the one who would be leaving stark naked would be them!
As cold sweat drenched their backs, they subconsciously turned to look at Elder Chen, only to see his face steeled and his forehead marked with black streaks. He looked as though he would faint at any moment.
Three thousand spirit stones... Even though he was a 4-star appraiser, he was probably doubting the meaning of life at this moment.
Seeing everyone's expression, Sun Qiang asked in puzzlement, "What does Spirit Euphoria mean?"
Elder Chen couldn't hold it back anymore and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
There was not a single appraiser who didn't know of Spirit Euphoria. In fact, even apprentices would be aware of it.
Yet, this fellow didn't know a thing at all...
It was one thing for him to lose to a 5-star appraiser or a formidable expert, but to lose to a servant who couldn't even compare to an apprentice...
Why was he so foolish as to be goaded into making the wager?
Seeing how the confused plump man was about to ask the frenzied Elder Chen about the matter, Liu Chang finally couldn't watch on anymore and hurried forward to explain, "You should know about how items can be divided into five tiers; God, Saint, Spirit, Phantom, and Mortal, right?"
"Un!" Sun Qiang nodded.
This classification wasn't a secret even in Tianxuan Kingdom. It was a common fact known to all cultivators.
"When an equipment reaches Spirit tier, it'll gain spirit. It's similar to the Spirit Creation of paintings. Even though it's unable to think like humans, it'll be able to recognize and acknowledge cultivators. This aspect is somewhat similar to having a beast tamer acknowledge one as its master."
Liu Chang continued, "Equipment that acknowledged a cultivator would release this kind of euphoric sound, and this is termed as Spirit Euphoria. As soon as it appears, a cultivator would be able to become the true master of the weapon by feeding it a droplet of his blood..."
"Become the true master?"
Sun Qiang widened his eyes in shock.
"Indeed... The artifacts on the Harmonious Stream of Flowing Goblets are treasures that countless appraisers were unable to identify. To induce Spirit Euphoria right after he entered, could it be that... not only did he manage to identify the artifact, he even managed to analyze the strengths and flaws of it as well?
Liu Chang's face was filled with disbelief.
"Analyze the strengths and flaws?"
"Every top-notch equipment is forged with a blacksmith's heart poured into it, but due to the limitations of material and the skill of the blacksmith, flaws will appear on even the most formidable treasures. As long as this kind of flaws is made up for, the equipment could reach higher tiers.
"An equipment possessing spirit is aware of its own flaws, but as it's unable to communicate with anyone, it's unable to find a way to make up for them. Some experts could easily find these flaws and earn the acknowledgement of the spirit of the equipment. However, this is a skill that only high-raked blacksmiths possess. Why would it... appear in an appraisal?"
The more Liu Chang explained, the more confused he became.
The main responsibility of an appraiser was to determine the identity of an artifact and its background. As for the flaws and strengths of the artifact, that was beyond their means.
That was a skill that only skilled blacksmiths who had achieved a profound understanding of equipment would have.
Could it be that... the fellow inside wasn't just an appraiser but... a formidable blacksmith as well? Was that why he could easily identify the treasure and analyze its strengths and flaws?
Finally recovering from his shock, Elder Lu turned to his old friend and consoled, "The first artifact that appears happens to be an equipment. If he's a blacksmith, it's not too surprising for him to be able to identify it. However, an appraiser has to be more than capable of identifying weapons. Paintings, antiques, medicinal herbs, and even cultivation techniques and battle techniques... They must be well-rounded in all aspects. The ten artifacts of the Harmonious Stream of Flowing Goblets cover the various occupations. If he's just a blacksmith, he'll only be able to identify the first one..."
Blacksmiths had an in-depth understanding of equipment. It wasn't completely impossible for Zhang Xuan to be capable of identifying an equipment swiftly, find its strengths and flaws, and win its acknowledgement.
However, it was a pity that the Harmonious Stream of Flowing Goblets tested one on one's appraising ability, not on one's understanding of equipment.
The ten artifacts didn't just consist of equipment. There were many other items as well. No matter how knowledgeable Zhang Xuan was in the field of equipment, he would only be able to identify one.
Elder Lu was in the midst of consoling his old friend when they heard the plump man beside them muttering to himself, "Right, didn't Hall Master Sai say that he would have cleared the trial as long as he could recognize a single artifact?"
Elder Chen had just barely calmed down when he heard those words and his face paled once more. Internally, he could feel his heart bleeding.
There had been not a single success case to the Harmonious Stream of Flowing Goblets in the past. As such, as long as one was able to identify even one of the ten artifacts, it would be considered as a pass... In other words, regardless of whether Zhang Xuan was able to identify any other artifacts or not, he would have to part with his three thousand spirit stones!
While a huge wave of shock had washed over the appraisers outside, in the trial, Zhang Xuan stared at the bizarre metal hammer speechlessly.
"What are you calling out for? You scared me!"
After jotting down the details on the artifact from the Library of Heaven's Path, this toy suddenly began buzzing, causing him to nearly drop his brush in shock.
What the heck was it?
It wasn't like it was a clock, gong, or something. What was it trying to call out for!
Don't you know what is manners? It's rude to shout in public, you know!
'Forget it, I'll just write the names then...' Zhang Xuan thought.
There were seventy-two flaws on the Copper Hammer recorded in the Library of Heaven's Path, and if he were to jot down all of them, he would surely die of fatigue. Since he had written down its name, origin, and two to three of its flaws, it should be sufficient for a pass!
Putting down his brush, Zhang Xuan turned his gaze away from the Copper Hammer to wait for the arrival of the next artifact when 'hu!', the heavy lump of metal suddenly flew from the stream and landed right before him.
"What's going on?"
Zhang Xuan blinked in shock.
Why is a hammer like you jumping right in front of me instead of lying obediently on the tree leaf?
Just so you know, I'm not a female hammer!
"Forget it..."
Zhang Xuan was unable to comprehend the situation before him. However, since the previous tree leaf had already floated away and the next artifact was slowly flowing down, Zhang Xuan shook his head and turned his attention away.
Placed on top of the second tree leaf was a painting. It was emitting a faint glow.
The spiritual energy in the surroundings were automatically attracted to the painting, and incredibly realistic birds flew into the air, dancing with liveliness.
"It's at least a fifth level painting!"
As a 3-star painter, Zhang Xuan still possessed some understanding of painting. Even though the artifact was still a far distance away from him, he could already see what was incredible about it. At the very least, its grade was no lower than the fifth level.
He activated his Eye of Insight.
However, just like the Copper Hammer, he wasn't able to tell anything at all. In other words, the painting's value had surpassed the ability of his Eye of Insight.
Soon, the leaf reached his surroundings, allowing him to catch a clearer glimpse of the painting.
The painting was exquisite, but there was no signature left behind, making it impossible to determine whose work it was.
The birds flying above the painting also looked extremely foreign. Of all of the savage beasts that Zhang Xuan learned about from beast taming books, there was none that fits the shape.
In other words, not only was there no name for the painting, it was even impossible to determine what those birds were.
It was no wonder why so many appraisers before were unable to identify it.
Upon coming into contact with the painting, Zhang Xuan began moving his brush excitedly.
"Teacher, after the Spirit Euphoria, it's highly likely that the artifact will automatically acknowledge Zhang Xuan as its owner. If so, on top of paying the five thousand spirit stones, that artifact will also have to..."
Upon recalling something, Liu Chang hurried over to Hall Master Sai and brought up the matter.
Artifacts possessing spirit were able to choose their owner as they pleased. In other words, through this Harmonious Stream of Flowing Goblets, not only did Zhang Xuan earn five thousand spirit stones from clearing the trial and three thousand spirit stones from winning the wager against Elder Chen, perhaps... he would be taking away the equipment as well.
What in the world was this!
When other people challenged the Harmonious Stream of Flowing Goblets, they ended up paying a hundred spirit stones. On the other hand, not only did this fellow earn a huge profit, he even managed to steal away the various treasures in it...
The Appraiser Hall was truly making a huge loss this time around.
"Artifacts have their own spirit, and they are allowed to choose their owners. Even though these artifacts have been with our Appraiser Hall for many years, no one has been able to identify them. Now that someone is able to point out their identity and origin, it's only natural for them to be excited and want to acknowledge the person as their master. There's nothing we can do about this!"
Hall Master Sai had also considered this matter, and he shook his head helplessly.
Every single treasure in the Appraiser Hall was incomparably valuable, and if possible, he didn't wish for any of them to get out. However, since the other party had earned the acknowledgement of the spirit of the weapon, there was nothing he could do.
Seeing that his teacher was helpless toward this situation as well, Liu Chang asked worriedly, "Then... What if this happens to the artifacts later on as well?"
"Hehe, don't worry! The first artifact is an equipment so blacksmiths or those who possess a natural affinity toward equipment would be able to win its acknowledgement easily. However, it'll be different for the artifacts behind. There are antiques, paintings, as well as medicinal herbs... It'll be impossible for him to identify all of those treasures. Besides, even if he does, it'll be extremely difficult for him to earn the acknowledgement of their spirit. It wouldn't be a joke to say that it is practically impossible!"
Hall Master Sai smiled lightly, "There's no need to worry so much."
"That's true!"
Liu Chang was taken aback for a moment before recovering. Nodding his head, he was just about to say something when the spiritual energy before him suddenly rippled intensely and gushed straight through the closed doors.
Following which, everyone's eyes blurred for a moment, and countless birds formed by spiritual energy danced and chirped in the air.
"The Call of the Spirit, Acknowledgement of the Painting? This is a masterpiece painting acknowledging its owner?"
Hall Master Sai's vision went dark.

7 Ways to Ease Your Child's Cough Without Medication
OTC cough meds can be risky for kids, so try these home remedies instead
It's awful to hear your child suffering with a raspy cough, but reaching for a bottle of cough medicine isn't smart.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), over-the-counter meds aren't effective in kids under 6. They may even be dangerous. Dextromethorphan, the active ingredient in cough remedies such as Robitussin and Triaminic, can cause serious side effects or even death in young children according to the National Institutes of Health. The risks depend upon the ingredients in the preparation. Combination products (those with multiple ingredients) in particular are tricky because they may contain an ingredient your child is also getting from another medication.
"Most over-the-counter (OTC) cough medicines contain dextromethorphan, which can cause sedation, while others also have acetaminophen which, if overdosed, can result in liver toxicity," explains Kathleen Neville, MD, a pediatrician at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri.
Fortunately, there are several easy do-it-yourself cough remedies that can help soothe your kid's hack. Read on for seven smart solutions.
A spoonful of honey. A bit of honey at bedtime may be just the ticket to less coughing and more sleep, according to researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. One caveat: don't give honey to babies under 1 because of the risk of botulism.
A humidifier. Dry air can dehydrate mucous membranes, making cough and cold symptoms worse. This article offers advice on which type of humidifier to use and how to use it safely.
A chest rub. This remedy may seem old-fashioned, but for kids over two years old, a simple chest rub is a fast fix that still works today. The AAP notes that vapors from soothing menthol or camphor can relieve chest and nose congestion — though the rub should never be applied directly under the nose.
Juice and other fluids. Hydration is the ticket when it comes to battling a cold. Downing enough fluids helps loosen congestion, making it easier to cough up mucus and blow the nose, according to the AAP. Pick water and juice, but skip anything with caffeine.
Hot soup. Broth-based soups work well to hydrate. Chicken soup in particular may be the best choice, according to a study published in the journal Chest. Researchers say this elixir can combat inflammation caused by a respiratory infection, and it helps to ease cold symptoms.
Saline drops or nasal spray. Saline thins mucus while also rinsing and moisturizing the inside of the nose. For babies, try a few drops on each side and then suction nostrils with a bulb syringe. Older kids can use a saline nasal spray.
A pillow. "Raising your kid's head level can open up clogged airways caused by a cold and allow for congestion to drain more easily," says Neville. For babies, place a pillow underneath the crib mattress — but never directly on top as it could be a suffocation risk. Older kids can use an extra pillow in bed.

Denis Leary ignites passion for firefighter aid
For seven seasons, Denis Leary played a tormented firefighter on "Rescue Me." But in real life, Leary has had the profession on his mind for some time. More than a decade ago, he created a foundation to raise money for fire departments.
Now, he's an executive producer of a documentary called "Burn," about the arson epidemic in Detroit, where 70,000 homes are vacant, and many of them are torched on a regular basis.
"Early Show" co-anchor Erica Hill noted the documentary was inspired by the death of Walter Harris, who lost his life fighting an arson fire in 2008 in Detroit.
Detroit, Hill said, is one of the areas with a fire department even more challenged than others around the country.
Leary said, "As everybody who has heard me talk about it probably knows, but just in case you haven't, every fire department in the United States in the major cities, they are all under duress financially, and the reason for that is because they never go on strike, and they never will. So, if the sanitation department goes on strike, eventually, our block smells and we all call the mayor's office, and then there's a lot of noise. Firefighters don't go on strike.
So, naturally they are the first people to be cut financially on the totem pole when there's a problem. In these times, you can imagine how difficult it is for any fire department. In Detroit, they were already under the gun. When the recession hit, it was 10 times worse. So this department (in the film) is financially strapped, and the amount of fires that are being set in that city is outrageous. And if you watch the trailer for the documentary when you go to the website, I mean, it's -- the footage is amazing that these people have captured. Some of these houses are going out and fighting 10 real fires a night. Sometimes they are actually at a fire and only a block away they see another fire start. So, I mean, starting out with very little money and not the right equipment, and then to be in the situation where they're at now."
Co-anchor Jeff Glor remarked, "One of the problems in Detroit, so many abandoned buildings and houses, but then occupied houses right next door. So the abandoned house might get set on fire."
Leary said, "The problem -- this is one of the beauties of firefighters -- they don't -- any situation, and this is an amazing thing, having played a fake firefighter on television, I came up against this -- they'll go to any building that they think people are in. So if it's a couple of homeless people, it doesn't matter. They're going to run in. That's what's happening here. They are pulling up to buildings that they know are abandoned but, because they know there may be squatters in the building, there might be people in there, they have to go in."
Hill said, "That is one of the incredible things about firefighters and one reason that they are and should always be seen as the heroes that they are is, they treat all of them the same. Because it's all about saving a life."
Leary said, "The circumstances they are all under now, especially in Detroit, they are pretty outrageous people. What they do for a living is amazing, anyways. When you get close to it, as I've had a chance to be, it makes it even more impressive what they do. And, you know why they do it. They are certainly not doing it for the money. They do it because it's a calling. It's a job that you are called to and that you really believe in, and the bravery and the courage are outstanding.
"What this department is going through now, one of the reasons I got involved is, I just think it's a glaring example of the financial distress but it's also -- it shows you what they do and, you know it doesn't ,matter what situation we're in, the first responders are always the fire department and any -- even on 9/11 here -- the first people that arrived were the firefighters. I just want to get them the right equipment and the right training facilities."
To help contribute to finishing the "Burn" documentary, visit Kickstarter, a website that helps fuel grassroots projects. A portion of the proceeds will go toward helping purchase equipment for firefighters in Detroit.
Leary added that one of the incentives to give is a set visit to "Boardwalk Empire."
He said, "If you are a fan of 'Boardwalk Empire,' Steve Buscemi, the star of that show, called me up and said, 'I'll give you a "Boardwalk Empire" set visit,' so if you want go to the website, look it up and make the right amount in terms of the donation. uou'll be able to go to the set of 'Boardwalk Empire' and hopefully badger Steve Buscemi and eat his lunch!"
He added, "('Burn') is a terrific movie, and we're very close (to finishing it). We're almost halfway. We need that much more to finish. So, I appreciate you guys helping us out."

Frightened Rabbit - Painting of a Panic Attack (Review)
Review by Jack Foley
FRIGHTENED Rabbit's fifth studio album marks the continuation of their evolution towards a stadium-filling band capable of creating songs that exhilarate or sweep you along on tidal waves of emotion.
Their second major label release, this sees a slight reshuffle in band members and the addition of The National's Aaron Dessner on production duties. Hence, while a lot of the core elements remain – including, most notably, heart-on-sleeve song-writing – the sound feels more epic in scope.
Even Dessner concurs, saying about the album: "Great songwriters touch a nerve, and I think Scott [Hutchison] really touches a nerve with these songs. To me, lyrically, this album is a step above anything he's written before."
Evidence of this is apparent from the outset, especially in the way that the first two songs take you from ethereal poignance to uplifting power rock.
The former, Death Dream, opens amid some melancholy piano riffs before layering in the ethereal vocals and atmospheric electronics. It's sombre, for sure, yet shot through with stark imagery and a cinematic sweep that makes it utterly compelling. If you ever pondered what Snow Patrol crossed with Sigur Ros might sound like, then here you get somewhere close.
But if you're then anticipating an album of slow-builders and nothing else, then Get Out immediately shoots down that suspicion. The drums are immediately more lively, the electronics fizz and while Hutchinson's vocals initially sound pained, the song explodes to life on the minute mark as he belts out "get out" like an adrenaline shot to the arm. It's then that the song assumes a more robust, belting quality and you'll like the change of pace.
Thereafter, the mix continues to be diverse but no less impressive. I Wish I Was Sober may tackle another addiction – one of the big themes of the album – but it's beautifully delivered with easy on the ear piano melodies offsetting some of the more angst-ridden, desperation soaked lyrics.
Woke Up Hurting begins as if restrained but then wallops you with some great guitar riffs and beats over the chorus – again, in spite of the darker lyrics, which find the protagonist waking up in pain and with dirty knees one more time. The chorus, though, screams out to be played in big venues and is sure to become an anthemic moment for them.
Little Drum loops intricate drum beats around pianos and guitars and maintains an atmospheric edge, especially during the electronic moments that follow each chorus; Still Want To Be Here laments "the perfect place may never exist" and "the perfect time may be years away" but it, once more, retains a beauty in its melodic structure and optimism in its lyrics that endears, while An Otherwise Disappointing Life Break drops one of the most radio-friendly choruses – the sort that juxtaposes life-long disappointment with robust hooks and melodies.
The rockier side of the band is indulged to foot-tapping effect on the zippy Break, another song that instantly gratifies, while Blood Under The Bridge conversely showcases their ability to keep things mid-tempo yet engaging, with another chorus to get you singing along.
The final two songs, meanwhile, encapsulate everything that's great about the album. Lump Street is a rousing rock epic that starts out with an ominous early electronic throb before bringing in some lively drums and a massive chorus that's shot through with some rousing guitar and piano work (not to mention some stark lyrics, including "she tore his tongue out on Lump Street"). At the three minute mark, meanwhile, the pace quickens and the song careers towards a rip-roaring finale.
Die Like A Rich Boy, on the other hand, rounds off the album with a low-key slice of beautiful song-writing – acoustic licks accompanying sombre yet ethereal piano chords and a gentle set of vocals that talk of a yearning to escape. The chorus is great, again.
But then the whole album excels. It is, quite possibly, Frightened Rabbit's greatest achievement to date. And it will almost certainly feature among the year's best.

Down Under Land mayor
From the Super Mario Wiki
Jump to:navigation, search
The title of this article is conjectural; an official name for the article's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an official name appears that is not from the English Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia, it is requested that the article should be moved to the correct name.
The Down Under Land mayor is a monocled, moustached Mushroom Person who inhabits a town in Down Under Land, which he is the mayor of. As Down Under Land is similar to Australia in many aspects, the Down Under Land mayor speaks with a rather fitting accent.
The Down Under Land mayor only ever appears in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Crocodile Mario". When Kangaroo Koopa steals the Magic Statue that protects the mayor's town, the Down Under Land mayor asks for Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Toad to stop him, but they arrive too late. He then informs them that the town has become vulnerable to the crocodiles, and tells everyone that the only place that they can be safe from the crocodiles is on top of the town's general store.
The Down Under Land mayor exclaims that the only way for Mario and Luigi to save the town is to reclaim the stolen Magic Statue from Kangaroo Koopa. As Mario and Luigi flee from town to retieve it, the Down Under Land mayor awaits their returned along with Princess Toadstool, Toad and the rest of the townsfolk.
After the crocodiles had chew up most of the general store, the Down Under Land mayor directs everyone to take refuge in the branches of a nearby tree, where they wait while the crocodiles begin to chew away at the trunk. Mario and Luigi eventually return with the Magic Statue, and with it, the crocodiles are scared out of town, chasing Kangaroo Koopa as they flee. Laughing at Kangaroo Koopa's defeat, the Down Under Land mayor thanks Mario and Luigi for saving his town.

Mavericks surf event targeted for Monday
Organizers of the Mavericks big-wave surf contest have alerted all competitors to the possibility of running the event as soon as Monday.
A significant swell is expected to hit the Northern California coast, and the World Surf League is due to make an announcement Friday morning after checking the latest surf and weather forecasts.
"It's looking really solid," said Brian Overfelt, who owns the Old Princeton Landing, long a hangout for Mavericks surfers, and serves as the contest's event manager for community interests. "They're leaving it open, in case Tuesday looks better or the swell diminishes. But they're telling everybody to be ready to go on Monday.."
Recommended Video:
The all-day contest would begin at 8 a.m. at the fabled spot off Pillar Point in Half Moon Bay. It's unlikely that conditions will be ideal, at least by Mavericks standards, but the contest's new regime has brought a tone of immediacy. With a contest window lasting only through the end of February, "We don't like to wait around, hoping for that all-time day, when it might never come," said WSL executive Peter Mel. "At all of our events, we like to make the call when the first good-looking day comes along."
This marks a refreshing change from Cartel Management, the previous ownership group, which staged only one contest (2016) during its three-year run and was largely unprepared due to a lack of sponsorship and proper infrastructure. Cartel eventually filed for bankruptcy and the World Surf League, which operates a Big Wave World Tour featuring winter stops at Mavericks, Hawaii and Portugal, purchased the rights for $525,000.
Whenever the contest is held, women will get their first-ever shot at surfing the Mavericks contest. They have been granted a one-hour, six-woman heat at a time deemed best to fit into the men's event. With marginal conditions expected over the next few days, the women have turned their focus to Maui — the famed "Jaws" break (Peahi) on the island's north shore. San Francisco's Bianca Valenti, a Mavericks regular who has spearheaded the women's big-wave surf movement, flew to Maui on Thursday for what is expected to be a huge, challenging swell.
By Monday, a significant west-northwest swell is due to peak at Mavericks. The forecast calls for wave faces in the 20-foot range along the coast, but Mavericks, due to its open-ocean location more than a quarter-mile offshore, tends to produce larger surf. The WSL traditionally demands at least 30-foot faces for its big-wave events.
Tides could be an issue. Mavericks is at its best, both in power and consistency, at a low tide — which will not arrive until late Monday afternoon. A 6.3-foot high tide, peaking around 9 a.m., is likely to slow down the action. The forecast calls for a mostly cloudy day with west-southwest winds (also not ideal) at 5-10 mph.
As spectators have discovered in recent years, there is no way to witness this event in person. The beach and bluffs will be closed, as well as the road leading out to Pillar Point, leaving the WSL's webcast (worldsurfleague.com) as the only option. There will be no big-screen outdoor festival, as there was in past years, but viewing locations have been established in the Princeton Harbor area (Old Princeton Landing, Jeff Clark's surf shop and the Half Moon Bay Brewing Co.), and Half Moon Bay (Sacrilege, It's Italia and Cameron's).

So your bags are packed and your next destination is Hollywood to pursue your life long dream getting a star. No one will say its an easy road to take, so hats off and away to you for going through with this journey. This article will save you numerous of time in preparation if you make it there. Ought to be you need to do is land an brokerage service. Listed below are the four main things it is advisable to have/do in order to obtain that agent.
The next time you the high flying socialite or actress like Nicole Richie or Kareena Kapoor flaunting their 'size zero' thinness and winning stares of admiration, you'd be well advised to request other heroines. Former Miss World Gul Panag has not minced words on this matter, "Looking thin is actually being a poster girl for sickness and bad health. I believe it's more important to be fit than be thin and look sick." There are additional beauty queens and actresses who openly endorse this view. Lots of modeling agencies and famous fashion brands have gone as far as openly rejecting overly skinny poster girl applicants.
Grey's Anatomy hit the jackpot with three outstanding supporting actress in a drama series nods with Katherine Heigl, Chandra Wilson, and Sandra Oh. Both Wilson and Oh been recently nominated before but that was Heigl's first nod. The Sopranos also did well with two nominees in Aida Turturro and Lorraine Bracco. Rachel Griffiths (Brothers & Sisters) also got a well-deserved nod.
Stop Getting Taken! Pursuing factors are exactly what many fat reduction products and services use and exploit in order to demand that you actors buy into their utterly false claims.
Researchers are discovering that the fascination with 'size zero' and the non plus ultra measures women are to be able to resort to, to achieve excessive weight loss, may perhaps result in tragic fallout. The choice for a lot of women reading is: 'size zero or good health', and even 'size zero or long life'. Once you are on a serious diet to realize or keep a skinny figure, you run the risk of developing serious osteoporosis in the beginning in personal life. As it is, women are inclined to bone problems, but this susceptibility increases manifold for ladies who don't have a body fat and underdeveloped muscles. Plan . researchers, some fat mass is vital build bone strength.
30% of Americans polled by Rasmussen, the famous polling organization built by Scott Rasmussen, say would like pay to athletes and actors of stranger things end up being limited to $1 mil. Another 59% disagree with this assessment. (Another poll shows similar numbers want limits to executive pay – 36% for and 54% opposed.) But the high number of those who do shows the unrest and outrage sentiments that tend to be used by the Obama Administration to fuel what amounts to no less than class warfare.
When you arrive in Capri, you will most likely dock at Marina Grande, the busy port bustling with tourists and clients. It has a little sand-pebble beach where a person see some folks playing some ball. That the least attractive of this island communities.
Whenever opt for clothing for Halloween find that they sense to wear. Avoid clothes which are allergic for ones skin. The clothes which have fur should contain a flame retardant material for that inner surface because you need to a possibility of the fur to catch fire. Cultivating vegetables generally go along with trick or treat at midnight so make sure they some kind of shining material or item about the costume for their safety. Something else to remember while finding Halloween costumes is need to be sufficient for wearing warm clothes underneath. It should not look bulky and hard.

Kam's grandfather, Sunan, took his position as commune leader very seriously. He worked hard for the people and never charged anyone for the work he did, although other commune leaders did.
Sunan was very ill for a long time but never told anyone. He lived separately from his wife in another room where he slept and had his meals by himself.
Sunan started throwing up blood and could not eat, so they persuaded him to go to the hospital. The doctors said there was nothing they could do for him, but the family took him to another hospital. The doctors did all sorts of tests, gave him medicine, and he felt better. Everyone had been praying for him and his families' salvation for years, and their prayers became more fervent during his illness.
While the doctors were waiting for the results of blood tests and the MRI, they told the family that they would give him an eight-week supply of medicine and send him home. He was asked to return when all the medicine was finished. After the results arrived they gave him two more weeks' worth of medicine and sent him home.
Kam said that his granddad was coming home from the hospital on February 22. Terrie asked Kam to stop at her home on their way back from the hospital. Kam was reluctant to do that; he knew that it would be late and driving in the dark would be difficult because the roads to their home were not good.
Somehow, they were able to stop by the house and Terrie listened to them explain the doctor's report and also looked at the test results and the MRI. She noticed that the medicine the doctors had given Sunan were comfort meds, and they did not expect him to make the two weeks. Terrie shared this with Kam and told her that they needed to tell everyone to prepare for Sunan's death.
Kam and Terrie shared the Good News. Terrie asked Sunan if he would allow her to pray for him. He said YES! He insisted on standing, but Terrie asked him to remain seated.
Terrie stood between Sunan and his wife and placed her hands on their heads (she have never done that before). They prayed, gave the Gospel message, asked the Lord to protect them and bring them closer to HIM. They prayed for healing, for the BLOOD of Jesus to flow over Sunan and for their hearts to be opened to receive Jesus.
Time went by and Terrie continued praying for Sunan. Sometimes in the middle of the night Terrie woke up to pray for Sunan.
On March 2nd, Sunan passed away. He was 79 years old. Kam left immediately to help his family, and everyone else followed the next day.
When at the home of his parents, Kam reported that with all that was going on, he did not call Terrie to pass on a message from Sunan. The family was all together when his grandfather told Kam to call Terrie and tell her that "Buddha was a good teacher but he believed that Jesus was God". When Terrie heard this her heart was so full that tears rolled down her face. Sunan's whole family heard him say that he believed in Jesus.
Kam also said that when his grandfather got home he told everyone that Terrie had prayed for him, and when she put her hands on the top of his head something inside of him was released. He said he felt good except for the pain in his back — the cancer had spread to his back with a big tumor pressing on his spine and other places in his internal organs.
After telling Kam to call Terrie, Sunan told his son to make a coffin for him and gave them directions on how to make the cement vault where he was to lay.
He also told his wife that he didn't want to listen to religious music and that no incense was to be burned—Terrie believes the Holy Spirit had spoken to Sunan.

Hi! My name is Tricia Sexton.
I am a mother of 3 boys who are the light of my life. I have been married to my husband for 9 years and I have lived here in Georgia for 10 years. I am originally from Pennsylvania where I played collegiate softball and got my math teaching certification from Mansfield University.
I have taught math for over 10 years now and I love it! I had my own classroom for a few years until I got pregnant with my first son. After that I decided to stay home with him and tutored math at Sylvan Learning Center in the evenings when my husband got home. After 5 years they had to close their doors.
I loved teaching so much I couldn't stop teaching even after Sylvan closed, so I transitioned to tutoring out of my own home! Other that teaching math, one of my other certifications is in physical fitness and nutrition. I am an ISSA certified personal trainer and fitness nutritionist.
I am so excited to work with the amazing students and faculty at Trinity. I am so honored and blessed to have become a part of this school and community!

The Avalokitesvara Cintamani Dharani Sadhana
大正藏第 20 册 No. 1084 观世音菩萨如意摩尼轮陀罗尼念诵法
No. 1084
The main mantra:
Maha-karunikaya.tadyatha.om.cakra-varti.cinta-mani.maha-padme.ruru.tistha. jvala.akarsaya.hum.phat.svaha.
If there are any disciples who chew some willow shoots and then recite the above mantra for 10,000 times will see the manifestation of Cintamani Avalokitesvara and have their wishes granted.
There are no restrictions as to whoever wanted to recite this mantra: whether if they are monks, common folks, drink alcohol, consume meat or married. Anyone who recites this mantra will attain accomplishment. There is no need to perform ritual, select auspicious date, no need to fast and no need to change clothing. Just recite direct and accomplishment shall be achieved. This is recorded widely in sutras:
The main mudra:
First, clasp both palms and two middle finger tips touching each other. Both of the middle fingers should be slightly bent. Both of the thumbs erected and they are placed above the heart. Now recite the above main mantra 7 times and release the mudra on top of the head. If summonses need to be done, then move both of the thumbs to and fro. Due to the power of mantra and mudra, our self is just as if the powerful Yidam. No demons can take advantage.
And then recites the heart mantra:
Then the heart follow mantra:
Secondly, the right hand is placed on top of the left hand with palm facing upwards. Now, use the right small finger to hook onto the left thumb. And use the right thumb to hook onto the left small finger. Recite the mantra:
Om. Arya-vakokitesvaraya-bodhisatvaya.Mahasatvaya.Mahakarunikaya. Tadyatha. Om.Cinkali.cinkali.mahacinkali.cinkalitali.cinkalitara.syaha.
Recite the above mantra with mudra 3 times and release the mudra ontop of the head.
The Hayagriva Avalokitesvara setting boundary protection mantra mudar (there are 3 uses):
First, clasp both hands with middle fingers, ring fingers and small fingers crisscrossing and rest on the back of hands; both of the index fingers erect but the finger tips slightly bent and living a gap of about 12mm between index finger tips. Move the index finger tips to and fro. Both of the thumbs erect and attached to each other.
Recite mantra:
The Maha Dharmakaya Hayagriva Mudra:
Both the wrists crossed with index fingers, middle fingers and ring fingers crossing and hooking with each other. While the small fingers lean on each other erect. Both thumbs bent towards the palm. Move both of the palms to and fro repeatedly:
The mantra:
The mudra of Dharmakaya Hayagriva:
Crossing both writs with all four fingers crisscrossing each other, with both thumbs leaning on each other's back. Band the tips of thumbs and move the thumb to and fro:
Recite the below mantra:
Following, do the set up the protective boundary using Hayagriva Avalokitesvara mudra:
Both hands clasped with thumbs and ring fingers band towards the center of both palms with ring fingers touch on each other's back. Both of the thumbs should be slightly bent but not touching each other. Now recite the mantra:
Recite 3 times and turn the mudra 3 times. All demonic forces will disperse. Turn the mudra clockwise 3 times and a strong boundary will form.
The above protection method also uses the Bikaloti mudra to perform boundary protection.
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva Bikakoti Earth Protection Method
Crossing both wrists and with middle, ring and fingers crossing each others in a reverse manner; with right hand on top of left. Both of the thumbs lean straight on back to back. Both of the index fingers slightly bent back to back. Point both of the thumbs towards the ground and recite:
People of all abilities may practise this sadhana.
All the wise people who recite this mantra will have great peace. All endeavors will have accomplishments; they will be rich and abundance. Buddha of three times preached this mantra when they are still human. One should not tell this mantra simply or the miracles will vanish. Only a master can possess it.
If this mantra is told lightly, one will cast down to the lower three realms. All those who recite this mantra in an unholy place will end up as above mentioned. If one recites this mantra when hugged by a woman, great accomplishment entails. But one must think of and seek refuge to Cintamani Avalokitesvara.
Man or woman who recites this mantra should recite this mantra after midnight and morning before breakfast. It doesn't matter how many times; 1000 or 108 times depending on one's ability. But please don't simply add or subtract the numbers. Whoever recited this mantra for 30,000 times, he will be able to see all of the Buddha and Bodhisattvas. This mantra is the supreme mantra of all. Mere one recitation can harness many merits.
Moreover, if one recites this mantra everyday then the merit cannot be thought of. If the mantra is recited 100,000 times, all the worldly and not worldly accomplishments shall be accomplished. If one recites this mantra 1,000 times, then his body will entered into Buddha realms. He will meet all Buddha and accomplish enlightenment. Anyone who wanted to recite this mantra should draw the image. Do not add gum to the coloring material. Instead, use kundura juice as the gum. The one who want to draw the image must first go through the 8 percepts.
The image of the bodhisattva should be in a thoughtful expression, with 6 arms. His top left hand holds a golden wheel, center holds a lotus and the lower left hand pressed onto a mountain. His top right hand as if pondering, center right hand holds a cintamani, the lower right hand holds prayer beads. A 32 petals lotus is under his right foot. A Buddha is on top of his head with perfect features and riding on full moon. The bodhisattva is emitting bright light as if moonlight. One should also draw the image of ferocious Hayagriva on the right with fierce flames and perfect features. His upper fangs are protruding out and hanging down. The size of the image is according to your convenience.
The practice of all deities depended on two realms which incidentally none other than the practitioner's heart. Having said so, This Cintamani Avalokitesvara method is the 5 places accomplishments of Vairocana in Vajradhantu and hence my body of lotus born. This is because the Cintamani rituals as compiled by Vajrabodhi belongs to Vajradhatu.
A practitioner can face west etc. performing minor rituals even though he is already following the Vajradhatu methods. As such other methods such as Samadhi methods can also be performed. Or he can also perform the Garbhakosa-dhatu rituals. Having said so, solo practitioners are following the 5 repents of Vajradhantu song and prostration and the 18 methods of training. The 18 training methods are wonderful accomplishment rituals. The one who don't understand this secret will scorn at it.
These 18 methods were compiled by Amorghavajra (不空三藏) (you can keep it as a secret). Before performing the mudra of Ishta-devata (yidam), one should first perform the mudra of Vairocana and recite the 5 word mantra. Secondly, perform the mudra of Ishta-devata. As such, first one must enter the castle of Vairocana-dhatu. One should swear great compassion oaths. Once one has finished a ritual then one should think that the Ishta-devata perform one's desires. This is a great secret of an oral transmission. During homa, we should recite the below heart mantra:
Om. Namo.cintamain.jvala.hum.cankamara (this is cintamani).
We can also invite all Buddha, bodhisattvas and vajras to perform pacification rituals or any other rituals. But this method (cintamani) requires a practitioner to face west. This is the method followed by previous masters.

Happy September, y'all!! This year is flying by! I can't believe there are only 4 more months left in the year. August was a really crazy and honestly pretty crappy month. As I am typing this there is a literal hurricane happening outside of my window. I have been cooped up in the house for several days now and the cabin fever is hitting hard! So I thought I may as well type up my first ever reading wrap up, even if this wasn't a very impressive reading month.
Books I Read in August:
- Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder by Joanne Fluke
- Strawberry Shortcake Murder by Joanne Fluke
- Wild Savage Stars ARC by Kristina Perez
- I Woke Up Dead at The Mall by Judy Sheehan
- Crown of Midnight by Sara J. Mass
Typically I can get a lot more reading done with audiobooks as well but I have been on such a podcast kick! I need to refocus on listening to more audibooks! It is just so hard when all I want to do is listen to true crime stories all day hahahaha. Anybody else a true crime/podcast addict like me?
Anywho, what do you all think of what I read? Would you like to see any full reviews? I have to say I was quite happy with everything I read! Nothing below 3.5 or higher, which is so rare because typically there is a dud (or two!!) every month.
I hope that everyone who is in the path of Dorian is staying safe as well and that everyone is having a great week. I am hoping to be back on here soon with a lot more reviews and posts!

I went to UBC and graduated with a degree in Geology and Geophysics. Lasted in that business about six minutes.
Enrolled in a Masters of English program at Simon Fraser where I got sidetracked writing comedy for CBC radio (came up with a show called "Dr. Bundolo's Pandemonium Medicine Show").
I Moved on to TV eventually doing shows featuring Paul Anka, Smothers Brothers, Tony Orlando & Dawn and others.
I was an original staff member at CKVU where I was the first writer on the Vancouver Show (with Mike & Pia) then went on to eventually become the executive producer. Got fired and rehired six time over 3 years by Daryl Duke (who went on to be a lifelong friend!)
Formed my own production company in the 90's and did many shows for all the Canadian networks and some of the American ones. Eventually settled into a partnership with computer guru, Steve Dotto, and produced his show for a decade.
I fell into travel writing a few years ago and now travel to weird, wonderful and dangerous places around the world recounting my mis-adventures in the papers across Canada and in magazines around the world.
We have a cottage on Gambier Island and John Meyers as a next door neighbour!
I spend my time writing screenplays nobody reads and enjoying my grandchildren.

For many, entrepreneurship is the constant struggle between bootstrapping and having enough time in the day. For many, it's having to wear all our hats at once to keep costs low so we can keep our heads above water (and our hats dry) long enough to break even. We do the content creation, the marketing, vendor research, the networking, the sales, keeping up with social media, sending out emails—even going as far as doing specialized services that we would've had no choice but to outsource if Google didn't exist. We've begun allocating our precious time to researching how to do something, spending twice or triple the amount of time it would take a professional to do, and putting out a passable DIY product.
The irony of it is that the internet has made it so cost efficient, sometimes even free, to start your own business, yet we are still trying to bootstrap as much as we can. It wasn't too long ago that you couldn't sell your stuff online. If you wanted to open up a small shop, you had to find a physical location, buy some furniture and fixtures, stock it with inventory, pay for rent and electricity—you would have put down thousands of dollars in advance before your first customer walked through the door. Today, there are those that balk at having to pay to build a multi-functional e-commerce site when YouTube is filled with free DIY content. I'm not knocking it. I have been there. I am sometimes still there. And it does feel good to boast about something I did all by myself. Like yea, see that landing page? I designed it. Meanwhile, I'm not a web designer but a pet groomer, or whatever it may be.
But that's how we lose focus. If we keep partaking in DIY projects, we lose focus on the bottom line, the reason we started our business in the first place. You cannot be everywhere at once and the same is true digitally. Even more so digitally because the difference is, now, we have a billion freebies in our faces that we want to consume yet we still have the same amount of time in the day. Noticing this trend of being pulled in all directions and not making much progress, I decided to do something about it and start outsourcing. And guess what? I found a few extra hours in the day to focus on the things I needed to do to scale my business.
How do you know what to outsource?
This question is bound to come up at some point after considering the idea of outsourcing. First, outsourcing does not necessarily mean hiring someone in a faraway land to answer your customer calls. It simply means that instead of hiring an in-house employee, you hire outside help via a freelancer, independent contractor, or agency. As a business owner, you know every aspect of your business. You know which tasks you prefer to do yourself, which tasks take up too much of your time, which tasks you are good at, and so forth. So how do you know which areas to let go of and have someone else rock out? Easy. You should be in charge of or personally be doing all the activities in your business that are
- your core
- high value
- directly bringing in money
- have a high ROI
That pretty much leaves everything that
- requires daily "busy work"
- is time-consuming and repetitive
- you're not good at
- is a secondary activity
Anything done online through technology can be outsourced which is why virtual assistants have become a thing for modern online businesses.

Outsourcing social media has become the norm. Google's G-Suite is an amazing project management tool that connects remote teams. You can do video/voice conferencing, share your calendar, spreadsheets, presentations and so much more for an insanely low monthly fee. And if you're looking for a sweeter deal, let us know in the comments and we'll give you a promo code for 20% off an entire year.
Outsourcing Social Media
There's no denying that social media has become one of the biggest consumers of our time. Outsourcing social media will almost immediately free up some hours in your day especially if your SMM is the one curating, creating, and scheduling content for your business pages. If you still insist on sticking around on social media yourself to promote your business and keep a consistent presence, here are some scheduling tools which will save you heaps of time. If you're not using at least a scheduling tool for outsourcing social media, make sure to try one of these today.
Hootsuite – Has free or premium plans. Connects to all major platforms so you can see what's going on all in one place: Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, WordPress, and FourSquare. You can customize your streams to see different aspects of your account and it has a pretty detailed analytics feature.
Buffer – My personal favorite because it's not as huge and clunky as Hootsuite. Simply connect your accounts, set your times for your posts to go out and schedule your posts. Buffer is free for up to 10 posts in your queue at a time. Or it's $10 a month.
Tailwind – If you're a Pinterest super star, you should know that it's equally if not more important to repin other user's content as it is to pin your own. Tailwind is every Pinterest user's secret weapon for mass pinning in an insanely short amount of time.

But outsourcing doesn't even have to be limited to your online business. Outsource your chores. Hire someone to come in and run your errands so you don't feel the pressure of the real world collapsing around you while you do your online deals. It's not called being lazy if you're allocating your time to doing the things that are bringing you a higher ROI. And if you really want to scale your business, you'll need to figure out what it is you're good at and delegate the rest.
