Life Skills New Delhi email@example.com 1. The Leap One day a newly married couple threw a party. Among those who attended, was a man who claimed to be a seasoned traveller. He was an interesting-looking man with a weatherbeaten face. So, by his appearance, he did look like a well-travelled person. But once he started talking, there was no stopping him. He bragged to anyone who would listen, about his exploits in countries across the world. He spoke of many wonderful and heroic feats he had accomplished. "I was an acrobat, a magician, a lion-trainer and even a hunter," he announced in a booming voice. "I've fought with a tiger, shot an elephant...it's amazing the things I've done," he boasted. "But friends," and here he lowered his voice for effect, "...it's what I've done in Samarqand that beats everything else." "What did you do in Samarqand?" asked someone. The man, who was waiting for that question, immediately launched into a long drawn-out yarn. "There were two buildings facing each other, each at least 50 feet high. That's five storeys high. They were 10 metres apart from each other," he said. "Guess what I had to do?" There was pin drop silence in the audience. "You didn't!" exclaimed someone. "I did indeed," boasted the traveller. "I jumped from the end of one building to the end of the other. It's the highest flying leap ever recorded. Such a large crowd had gathered to watch. Why, people talk about it even now in Samarqand." "Give us something to talk about too," said the host suddenly. "Why don't you show us how you did it? Try leaping between our house and the one facing us. They're barely five metres apart. Come friends, let's go up to the terrace," he added. The traveller agreed, "Yes, that would be a good idea. I haven't done a good leap in years" And he started to walk with the others. Then he stopped. "First I have to visit the bathroom, though. May I?" he asked the host. And he sprinted off to the toilet. Needless to say, that was the last time anyone saw the traveller in those parts again. 2. The Mighty At the edge of a forest, stood a big tree. Its branches spread out majestically and so did its roots. It shielded people from the sun under its shady leaves, and provided shelter to countless birds and other small creatures in its branches. It buzzed with activity all the time. At the foot of the tree grew a little plant. The plant was willowy and delicate, and tended to keel over at the touch of the slightest breeze. One day, the two neighbours were having a little chat. "Well, little one," said the tree to the plant, "Why do you not plant your feet deeply in the ground, and raise your head boldly in the air as I do?" Jeevan Deep Sehgal - HRM Professor, Life Skill Trainer, Inspirational Speaker, firstname.lastname@example.com Life Skills New Delhi firstname.lastname@example.com "I see no need to do so," whispered the plant with a smile. "Actually, I think I may be safer this way." "Safer!" sneered the tree. "Are you suggesting that you're safer than I am? Do you know how deep my roots are buried, how thick and strong my trunk is? Even if two men hold hands they would not be able to surround my trunk. Who could possibly pluck me by the roots or bow my head to the ground?" And the tree turned away from the plant in a great huff. But the tree was to regret its words very soon. One evening a great hurricane arose in the region. It hurled the trees off their roots and almost completely destroyed the forest. It uprooted the neem tree and hurled it away with great force. When the storm had passed, the villagers living nearby surveyed the damage. Mighty trees that had once almost touched the sky, were now reduced to stumps or worse. The forest was littered with their carcasses. But there was one exception. The little plant. The plant had been tossed and turned under the fury of the hurricane, and bent completely. But when the hurricane ended, it sighed and stood upright again. No trace remained of its mighty neighbour though. 3. Modesty Pays There once lived a proud driver in Qi, a state in China. He was the driver of the Prime Minister of the state. One day the Prime Minister happened to drive through the street where the driver lived with his wife. Some neighbour's saw him drive the Prime Minister and were excited. One of the neighbours ran to the driver's home and said to driver's wife-"Quick! See who is driving the Prime Minister? Your husband." The wife ran out to see her husband drive the chariot of the Prime Minister. She saw her husband drive past her with his head held high up in the air, arrogant and proud. When the driver returned home that evening, his wife did not speak to him. He asked her, "Why are you unhappy." She said, "I want to divorce you." The driver got the shock of his life. He said," Why, Why do you want to divorce me?" She replied, "Look at the Prime Minister, he sat with great modesty in the chariot. You are but his driver, yet you are so arrogant, that is why I want to leave you." The driver realized his mistake. He understood that the better a personget, more humble should he be to gain respect. From that day onwards, he became more humble. The Prime minister noticed the change in him. He asked the driver, "Why have you changed your manner of behaviour?" The driver replied, "My wife admonished me, and I think she is right." Jeevan Deep Sehgal - HRM Professor, Life Skill Trainer, Inspirational Speaker, firstname.lastname@example.com Life Skills New Delhi firstname.lastname@example.com The Prime Minister admired his change in attitude, took him to the king and said, "Your Honour, my driver is a man of virtue, he has the courage to correct his own mistakes." Recognizing it, the king said, "Good! He should be given an officialpost." The driver was made an officer. He discharged his duties with greatmodesty, and lived happily ever after. 4. Preparing for Winter Autumn was coming to an end. All the insects and animals were working very hard to stock their larders with enough food to last them the winter. They all knew that winter time would be tough - it would be cold and food would be scarce. As it would get dark really soon, it would be difficult to go looking for food. Therefore, everyone was working hard, all except Mr Grasshopper. He loved autumn. Autumn was a time when the leaves changed colour. It was all so so pretty. The trees seemed to be on fire with red, yellow and orange leaves, which then fell off and covered the ground. There was a pleasant breeze too. Mr Grasshopper spent his days playing. He jumped from leaf to leaf and from one fallen twig to another. What he liked best was the way the leaves bounced when he jumped off them, and how the leaf he landed on swayed with his weight. "Yooo eeeeee. Life is lovely, the world is beautiful, I want to play forever..." he sang. Just then little Miss Ant happened to pass by. She was dragging a heavy grain of rice behind her. "Oowf. This is so heavy. I wish I could get some help with this. I should have asked my brother to come along to help me," she was muttering. "Oh, do you need help?" asked Mr Grasshopper. "Yes, sir. Would you give me a hand? My ant hill is just a few trees away, but this is so heavy," replied the ant happily. "Naw. First you come and play with me for some time, then I shall gladly help you. What are you toiling for anyway? Autumn is so beautiful, you too should enjoy the weather while you can," the grasshopper said. "No, Mr Grasshopper. You too must start collecting your food for the winter. Otherwise it will be tough as there won't be anything to eat," said the concerned ant. "Nothing doing. I will go out and find all the food I want when I am hungry. Right now it is time to play and have a party," the silly grasshopper replied. So Miss Ant just shook her head and went on - "Huff, puff, huff, puff." Then winter came. It was so cold that the ants didn't dare to come out. But their tummies were full and they were warm and happy. Actually, everyone was warm and happy, except for Mr Grasshopper. He was cold and hungry. As he went hunting for food only when it was less cold than usual, he got very little to eat and soon became weak with hunger. "Oh, why did I spend my days playing? I should have listened to the ant..." he thought with regret. 5. The Apple Tree There was an old apple tree in a farmer's garden. It was so old that it had stopped bearing fruit a long time ago. The only purpose it served was to provide shelter to the sparrows, grasshoppers and squirrels in the neighbourhood. Jeevan Deep Sehgal - HRM Professor, Life Skill Trainer, Inspirational Speaker, email@example.com Life Skills New Delhi email@example.com One day, the farmer decided to cut the tree down. He felt it had become completely useless. Besides, he wanted to get some furniture made and what better way to ensure the wood supply from the tree? The wood was still strong. So, taking a sharp axe in his hand, the farmer struck at the roots of the tree. At once there was great commotion among the many creatures who inhabited the tree. The grasshoppers, the sparrows and the squirrels came out of their dwelling places and hovered around the farmer. "Please sir," they begged him. "Spare this tree's life. It is our only home." But the farmer only struck harder at the roots. "We promise to sing to you in the afternoons when you toil away. It would lighten your labours so," entreated the creatures. But their cries were in vain. The farmer continued his task with single-minded concentration. He was in a hurry to finish off the chopping by afternoon. As he raised his axe one more time, something in the hollow of the tree caught his eye. A beehive. Upon looking closer, the farmer found that it was full of honey. He tasted the honey. Ummmm, heavenly. Suddenly the farmer realised that the tree was not so useless after all. Its hollow was the ideal place for a beehive to rest. And if he took away the honey now, the bees would make more. They would certainly not abandon such an attractive residence. "Hey you up there," he announced as he threw away the axe. "I'm sparing the life of this tree. You can live in peace now." The sparrows, grasshoppers and squirrels breathed deep sighs of relief. What a blessing that the farmer had found something of use to him in the tree! After all, it was the only reason the tree was still standing. 6. The Instructor A young man wanted to learn the art of sword fighting. He went to the greatest instructor in the land and said, "Please give me admission and teach me sword fighting." The instructor gladly accepted him a student and said, "Young man you can stay with me and learn this art." In the days that followed the instructor gave him many odd chores to perform. The chores were sweeping the floors, cutting vegetables, cooking and the like. But there was no mention of the sword or the art of fighting with it. The young man got desperate, approached the instructor and said, "Great teacher kindly begin my lessons." The instructor agreed. The next day when the young man was cooking, the instructor came from behind and hit him with a wooden sword and vanished. The young man was taken by surprise. The next day too the same thing happened. The young man now started preparing himself mentally to counter any such surprise attack. Next time when the instructor came to attack him, the young man was able to dodge the blow of the sword. He was very happy with his performance. He asked the instructor, "Now have I learnt the art of defending myself?" The instructor did not respond to his question and walked away. Such surprise attacks became common and the young man got more and more skillful in countering the attacks well. Jeevan Deep Sehgal - HRM Professor, Life Skill Trainer, Inspirational Speaker, email@example.com Life Skills New Delhi firstname.lastname@example.com One day the young man saw the instructor engaged seriously in a task and a sudden desire crept into his head. He thought, "Now let me catch the instructor unawares and attack him." He took the wooden sword and attacked the instructor without a sound from behind. But lo! The instructor was fully prepared for it. He took a shield lying near, turned around and defended himself most skillfully. Realisation struck the young man that moment. He thought, "How great is this instructor. Today I have learnt the real secret of sword fighting. He has taught me that swinging the sword and learning the opponent's moves are not the essentials of sword fighting. What is important is to read what goes on in the opponent's mind and to counter his movement and his thoughts too." The young man continued to take instructions in all humbleness and with newer insights trained well to become a great sword fighter of his country. 7. The Favour There lived a wolf called Lalu in the Himalayan forests. Lalu was very mean and selfish. He thought only about himself and none of the other animals liked him. The rest of the wolf pack also avoided meeting him. At most, they would say a polite 'Hello' and then go their own way. After all, when they were hungry, Lalu never offered to share his meal. So the wolves avoided him, as they did not want to be impolite. One day, Lalu was very hungry and went out hunting. After roaming around for nearly an hour, he found a wild hen and greedily tore it to pieces. Suddenly, a small bone got stuck in his throat. Lalu coughed and coughed and his face went red with all that coughing. He tried to get the bone out, but in vain. He ran up and down groaning and moaning, seeking something to relieve his pain. Then it became difficult for him to breathe. He pleaded with all the other animals to help him get the bone out. "Help! Someone please help me get this bone out…" said Lalu. But no one stepped forward. He even offered them a reward for removing the bone. "Oh Pleeeease. I can't breathe. I would give anything if you would take it out!" he said. But still no one helped him - because he was so mean. Then at last mother crane, Rani, took pity on the wolf and offered to help him. But she was unsure - would Lalu really give her anything? All Rani wanted to ask him was to be a better wolf. But she decided that she should just do it. So Rani told Lalu to lie on his side and open his jaws as wide as he could. She put her long neck down his throat and "Pluck!!", her beak had loosened the bone. And slowly, she pulled the bone out. "Ah, ah!! That's better," said Lalu, taking long deep breaths. "Will you kindly give me the reward you promised?" asked Rani. Lalu grinned wide, showing all his teeth. He said, "Be content. You have put your head inside a wolf's mouth and taken it out again safely; that ought to be reward enough for you." Poor Rani was very disappointed, while the other animals looked at Lalu angrily.

The Travellers In a temple city in south India, lived a group of young merchants who wanted to become rich. They had often heard about traders who had amassed a great deal of wealth in the course of their travels across the world. So, one fine day, the merchants set out on a long journey in quest of riches and engaged in trade. Unfortunately though, they did not become as rich as they had thought they would. Worse, they had spent more money on their travels than they had earned in the course of their trade - and that was galling. All this made them very impatient. One day, when they were in a seaside town, their eyes fell on a large ship at a distance. "When we become rich, we shall buy a ship just like that one," they said excitedly. They waited to see it enter the harbour. As the ship neared it lost its grand dimensions and started looking more like a small boat. They were crestfallen. But they waited. When the boat reached the shore the merchants discovered that it was only a bunch of logs tied together to make a raft. They were terribly disappointed. Finally they understood. Just as they had wasted a lot of time on fruitless speculation about the "ship", their expectations of getting rich also had been without any real basis. Crestfallen they decided to return home. 9. The Lazy Brahmin There once lived a lazy brahmin named Khushi. Every day he would set out in the morning with his begging bowl. Some generous neighbours used to take pity on him and give him food. However, there were days when he didn't get anything to eat. On those days he preferred to starve rather than going out and doing some work. One particular day proved to be very lucky for him. A rich man in a generous mood gave him a pot full of flour. Khushi couldn't believe his eyes. He thanked the man profusely and ran back home. He hung the pot of flour just above his cot and lay down. He looked at the pot and thought, " I wish I was rich, then I wouldn't have to beg for food everyday". Soon his imagination began to run wild. He thought, "What if the country is suddenly struck by a famine. There will be no food. Food will become an expensive commodity. And I needn't worry. My pot has enough flour to last for a very long time". Then suddenly an idea struck him. "I should make some money while the famine lasts. I should sell my flour to the needy. Yes, Yes. I 'll go to the market and announce openly -- Who wants to buy excellent flour?" "Soon people shall crowd around me. Somebody from the crowd will scream, " I will pay you ten rupees for the flour." Jeevan Deep Sehgal - HRM Professor, Life Skill Trainer, Inspirational Speaker, firstname.lastname@example.com Life Skills New Delhi firstname.lastname@example.com Another man will counter bid, " I'll pay you twenty rupees". "What, twenty rupees, a third man will say, I'll pay thirty rupees for that flour." "I'll sell the pot of flour for thirty rupees." "With 30 rupees in hand, I will buy two goats, one male and one female. I shall feed them grass, fatten them and breed them. My goat will give birth to little kids. I will sell goat's milk to my neighbours. By selling milk I'll earn money. Then I' ll take my goats to the market to sell them. Looking at my healthy goats, a bystander will offer me 100 rupees. I will give him my goats. With hundred rupees, I can buy a silk dhoti and lots of other things. No, no, I will not waste my money. Instead I will buy two cows. I will get my cows mated and soon there will be cute little calves. I will sell cow's milk and also make cheese and butter. I will sell cheese, butter and ghee to my neighbours. Then I shall make sweets out of the milk. I will buy a small shop and sell my sweets and diary products. Men and women, who taste my sweets will come back asking for more. Soon people shall throng my sweet shop. I will make lots of money. With the money I shall buy gold. I will soon become a merchant, a gold merchant. I will build a big house with beautiful green lawns. There will be a pool in the courtyard filled with lotus flowers. White swans will also grace my pool. Soon I will be a well-known man. My fame will spread far and wide. I'll have rich friends. Then a rich landlord will ask me to marry his beautiful daughter. One look at the beautiful girl and I'll decide to get married. We shall be very happy. Soon a son shall be born to us. I will name him Kusha. Later I'll have a daughter. I shall name her Khusali. My kids will be very smart and naughty. They will play pranks and worry the neighbours. Everyday I shall hear complaints from the neighbours. One day I will get angry and I shall run after my kids with a stick. I will teach them to be well mannered. I will hit them with a stick." Saying this he picks up a stick lying next to the cot and hits the pot. Dhum...dhum.... The pot comes crashing down. Disturbed by the crashing sound, Khushi wakes up and looks around. He doesn't see his wife, his kids, his house or his gardens. All he saw was flour and pieces of broken pot lying scattered on the floor. 10. Whatever Happens, Happens for the Best... Once upon a time there was an old man called Sthira, who lived alone in a village. He would go about his business alone, even in his old age. He was a nice, friendly man who was liked by all the people in the village. They would often come over to the old man's house and express their sympathy that his only son had gone so far away to study. They wondered aloud if his son would ever return. To all their concern, Sthira would always thank them and say, "Whatever happens, happens for the good." One day, the old man's son returned to the village. The entire village was very happy for Sthira, and streams of villagers came over to congratulate him. Like always, the old man was polite. He thanked all of them for coming over and said, "Whatever happens, happens for the good." Barely a few days had passed, when one day, Sthira's son fell off a horse's back and broke his leg. Once again the entire village came over to Sthira's house to express their concern. And once again the old man thanked them for their sympathy and said, "Whatever happens, happens for Jeevan Deep Sehgal - HRM Professor, Life Skill Trainer, Inspirational Speaker, email@example.com Life Skills New Delhi firstname.lastname@example.com the good." Some of the villagers were surprised to hear this and wondered what good could there possibly be in a broken leg. A few days later, a small army of the local king came to the village and recruited all able-bodied young men into the army. When they came to Sthira's house they found his son with a broken leg. So they left him behind. Once again, all the villagers came to the old man's house to congratulate him for his good luck. And like always, the old man thanked them for their concern and said, "Whatever happens, happens for the good."

Alaska... the last frontier!
Beauty strikes you with skyscraping mountains,
whale filled waters, and wildlife offered like no other
place in the world, stretching over 587 square
miles, which is more than any other U.S. state.
There is also more coastline here than anywhere
else, which gives plenty of opportunity for
activities such as deep sea fishing! Pilots will
find plenty of reasons to want to stay in this
Alaska is
still one of those places you can truly get away
from it all. These properties are perfect for
float planes and bush runners. Here
you often have to be a "Bush Pilot"... a pilot
who flies their aircraft over rugged terrain or
unsettled regions to serve remote areas
not accessible to or off the route of larger
planes. If you are such a pilot, than you need
to relocate to Alaska, and find yourself there
for the rest of your life. Now search for
Alaska residential airparks and airports where
you can live or buy a hangar to keep you plane
out of the weather.

First off I would like to say superb weblog! I'd a quick query that I would choose to inquire if you don't intellect. I used to be interested to know how you center oneself and very clear your thoughts before composing. I've had trouble clearing my thoughts in acquiring my ideas out. I do take pleasure in writing but it just would seem like the 1st 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost simply just striving to figure out how you can get started. Any suggestions or tips? Many thanks! http://topclearporesreviews.com/

Marco is an amazing host, very helpful, considerate and kind. We spent 6 nights at the house (4 adults,1 child,1 baby).The house is very clean and comfortable,with nice backyard and frontyard planted with beautiful flowers and plants(Marco is a very good gardener). I like the kitchen, bright, with all kinds of kitchen utensils, ready for cooking for family meals. The bedrooms and the living room are very clean.The neighbourhood is quiet and safe. We wish we can live in this house next time in Los Angels, and will recommend Marco and the house to friends.
The host was amassing, the house was cozy, clean, spacious and will equestrian, and the friendly squirrel joining us every morning for coffee, quit and safe neighborhood. Beautiful garden and back yard planted with tasty lemon tree. Marco meet us at the house the day of arrival and welcomed us with a very friendly way and he helped me with all info. I needed during my stay, I will repeat my experience again in the future with him and will recommend him for my friend and family.
We all thought Marco was just great and thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. The house was very conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood and we all felt at home in LA. Had no problem with room to park our rental in the gated driveway and plenty of parking infront of the home. The kitchen has everything you need with a great grill and firepit in the backyard. Loved all the hummingbirds! The green yard infront and back is spacious and very private. We loved the back patio and comfortable seating. We had 6 adults and a toddler staying and all had plenty of room to sleep and play. Also a big plus to have two full baths. Plenty of TVs and wifi for everyone's electronic desires. Have to add that the washer and dryer were a lifesaver! We would not hesitate to rent again!!
This place is an absolute gem. Beautiful. Spacious. Great for kids with 2 parks nearby that are very nice. The backyard is amazing and much bigger than it looks online, the kitchen is open and great for entertaining. The master bedroom is well laid our and the 2 other bedrooms are perfectly sized. But by far this property's greatest asset is the owner, Marco, who was gracious, helpful, utterly available and simply one of the nicest people I ever met. It was my son's first real Christmas and I asked Marco if he could find a local tree lot so we could have Santa place presents there - instead, Marco got a tree for us, set it up, decorated it and also decorated the house. It was perfect. We arrived on Christmas Eve and time was of the essence as we were driving from San Francisco so when Marco offered to help us out in this way, we were floored by his generosity - Marco genuinely wants everyone to enjoy his home as much as he does, and we certainly did.
Honestly a complete pleasure to stay with Marco. His house is beautiful and has everything you would ever need and more. Marco is an amazing host and has great tips on where to eat and local knowledge. We stayed for 5 weeks with Marco and Angel and loved every minute of it. We were made to feel so welcome from the first day and felt right at home. Would thoroughly recommend staying here and hopefully will come back soon!
Marco is an AWESOME host! He very graciously ordered pizza for us prior to our arrival knowing that we had traveled from far away and were very exhausted on our way in. The house was absolutely perfect for my family of 6 too... the place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and conveniently located next to supermarkets and various restaurants. The backyard was a favorite hang out area of ours, especially given the awesome California weather. We could not have found a better place to stay. THANK YOU!
Marco is a great host & his house is very clean, nice, & excellent to stay. I am Los Angelinos & I know that Marco's house location is central, close to all major attractions in LA & as well as downtown LA for business purpose. It is really a great place to stay in LA and definitely stay there & recommend to others. We even miss the house by now.

A Pennsylvania fracking mogul bid more than $1 billion for the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday — making it likely the team will attract a record sales price for an NFL team.It was one of only two known bids — which were due by 5 p.m. Tuesday — for the storied NFL franchise, according to the New York Post.Terrence Pegula, who owns the NHL Buffalo Sabres, made the record-breaking opening offer. The team was put on the block last spring following the March 25 death of owner Ralph Wilson Jr..Donald Trump made the other offer but has admitted he probably underbid because he's "not going to do something stupid" to call the team his.It could not be learned whether other bids were received by banker Morgan Stanley, which is running the auction, said the newspaper.A controversial group fronted by Jon Bon Jovi that includes Larry Tanenbaum, chairman of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, owner of the NBA Toronto Raptors and the NHL Maple Leafs, and the Canadian Rogers family, which controls Rogers Communications, was expected to bid.The Bon Jovi group is expected to try and move the team to Toronto. A move that has made the rocker an unpopular figure in the western New York city."Man, f–k Bon Jovi," legendary Bills receiver Andre Reed, told New York Magazine. "You might as well just take this city, throw it in the river, and let it go down Niagara Falls."And, as usual, there were rumored bidders who were eyeing a move to Los Angeles, which has been without an NFL team since 1994.First-round bids are usually just high enough to pique the interest of a seller and kick off the selling process.The $1.1 billion sale of the Miami Dolphins in 2008 is the highest price ever paid for an NFL team.

I am developing BlackBerry application that connects to the web service.
When I developed on simulator, I used BlackBerry MDS for simulator and everything just went fine. My application (running on simulator) can connect with my web service perfectly. Please note that the simulator and the web service are on different PCs.
Now, my project is done. I tried deploying my app to the real device (BB 8520). When I used the app on the device, I found it can't connect to the web service. I did a research on the Internet and I am sure it must be due to MDS issue. It seems like I have to do something with MDS on the computer where my web service resides, but I still can't find the obvious answer.
Anyone please help me...
PS. My web service is published on IIS and is developed in Visual Studio 2010. The BlackBerry application is developed in Eclipse and connects to web service via ksoap2. Firewall on the computer where web service resides is closed. The connection used is WIFI.

With Charlie home now for the summer and under Susanne's watchful eye, you would think there's no need for me to plug in NightScout at all. Why would I need to watch blood sugars while at work each day? What good would that do? The whole point of the thing was to be a second (or third) set of eyes when Charlie was at school or at a friend's house or in Japan. BECAUSE I'M A CRAZY PERSON!!!!!!!!! That's why.

If you are a fan of H.P. Lovecraft or Rudimentary Peni, you've probably read this book already. If you're neither, then read a book on knot-tying and practice 'em around your neck.

This book is easy to devour in one session. I had to read it being a huge Rudimentary Peni fan & a H.P. Lovecraft fan. I first picked it up when I was living at a punk house a few years back, & I had an annoyingly hip roommate with impeccable taste & resources for sourcing & owning incredibly neat shit that I was always pretty jealous of. This book was one of those things that he owned that always made my fingers itch as I walked past, & I had to remind myself constantly that ...more

You may not have ever heard of Nick Blinko, but he is well nown and

I fell asleep during the first half of it but once Nat started Rudimentary Peni, that's when it got good. I loved hearing all the history behind that stuff. My favorite part was when the doctor says Nat got an acoustic guitar and played constantly and the neighbors didn't care except for when he would scream to sing. I own a copy on Microsoft word if anyone wants to read it.

I've been wanting to read this since I started seeing it around in 1996 or 97- no idea why it took me so long to get to it as Rudimentary Peni has been one of my favorite bands since then and I love everything they put out, and I've found Nick Blinko to be fascinating as long as I've been cognizant of him. If you like weird punk rock, death rock, anarchopunk, or weird art and have an interest in mental illness, you should absolutely read this. Especially if you also have a predilection towards L ...more

The singer and artist of seminal anarcho-punk band Rudimentary Peni, Blinko followed in the footsteps of many great artists by going insane. From the asylum he produced an album dedicated entirely to H.P. Lovecraft, and this novel. "Primal Screamer" charts his descent into madness and childhood regression from the perspective of his psychiatrist, who may also be going mad.

Autobiographical fiction? Remembered unreality? Madness and a deathwish collide with punk rock, anarchy,a Buddhist psychiatrist, Nathaniel Snoxell and sundry other monstrosities. Gets an extra star for the artwork, some of which I have a tattoo of, btw.

Just finished reading this one. Thought it was great, but am willing to admit that any evaluation of how good this book is may be directly proportional to how much you like Nick Blinko as a musician/artist/whatever--and as I am a big fan of the man, i can acknowledge that my estimation of this book's worth is likely shaded by that bias.
Anyway, as it was mentioned, the first half of the book is a bit dull--the formation of Rudimentary Peni and the increasing disintegration of the doctor's mental ...more

A don't read fiction often, so I am grateful for having received this work as a gift, else I would not have sought it out and experienced it. The author presents diary like an alternative reality of the history of Rudimentary Peni, his own anarcho-punk/deathrock band along with primal scream therapy experiences. I don't know how real for Nick Blinko those treatments where, but as a fan of underground music, I did find myself going to Google often to see if I could suss out the truth of the sligh ...more

Part autobiography, part anarcho punk historical, part Lovecraft-esque "Weird" fiction. Blinko somehow manages to weave his life, the emergence of anarchist punk and the unbridled suspense of Lovecraft's finest works into a single (admittedly far too short) novel. Told from the point of view of Nick (sorry, Nate)'s psychiatrist, Nick chronicles his time undergoing primal scream therapy (as well as the initial formation of Rudimentary Peni) in a shroud of macabre myth and imagery, often giving cr ...more

I read this upon the insistence of my boyfriend who said I could relate a lot to the protagonist. So, I obliged him. I am a rudi peni fan, so I figured it would be an accessible enough read. I liked it, but that is it. The book does not include Blinko's BEST art, but the pieces included are very interesting to look at in conjunction with the rest of the story. I wish it had been the first in a longer series, because the ending irked me. I don't think it was a bad ending because the ambiguity of ...more

Because I am fairly boring for a punk, I was much more interested in gleaning information about the rise of anarcho-punk in the UK and the formation of Rudimentary Peni than I was in the Lovecraftian elements. The diary-of-the-psychiatrist format works well, the descriptions of primal scream therapy are fascinating, and all of the characters are well-drawn, not just Nathaniel Snoxell, the stand-in for Blinko himself. Nick Blinko's art is extremely creepy (I mean that in the best possible sense), ...more

Quick, engrossing read by Rudimentary Peni's Nick Blinko. The story gets absolutely wicked towards the end. And I mean "wicked" in the actual sense of the word. I appreciated Blinko's H.P. Lovecraft style writing, the allusions to artists like Aubrey Beardsley and Odilon Redon, as well as references to the 1932 Tod Browning's film Freaks. I could easily relate these works to Nick Blinko's art. Reading this book not only returned me to my own adolescent nightmares of fetus', but made me throw on ...more

i love nick blinko's art and music, but this didn't do much for me. i liked the bits about the formation of rudimentary peni, but the rest of the story was self-aggrandizing and dull.
I was really attracted to the Lovecraftian style of writing. Even though the novel was about a young punk completely out of his mind, he was still easy to relate to. However, I wasn't too thrilled about the conclusion, there was no real climax and the outlandish ending was too near the end to hold any real footing in the story.
It's still a great read if you're at all interested in the oddities that are Rudimentary Peni, depression, outsider art, and/or H.P. Lovecraft.

This was a let-down. I was so excited about the themes of this novel, but found the execution to be messy and unfulfilling. It was wordy, difficult, and after I'd finished the book I didn't feel like I knew anything about the characters or what I'd just read.

Weird, semi-autobiographical
account of the life of the Rudimentary Peni front man. Written from
the point of view of his psychologist it makes "sense" out of the
bands lyrics and peculiar obsessions. Just noticed that you can find
crazy Nick on Wikipedia !

I think the bookjacket oversold the "horror" aspect of this, but everything else from Nat/Nick's history of Rudimentary Peni to the relationship built with the analyst were fairly well done. Great art in the PM Press edition

Please Help Me - I read this book before and would like to read it again now but have not had any success thus far in locating a copy anywhere that I have looked for it ..
Pretty boring. The only thing slightly "haunting" was the last few pages. The rest just seems like a semi-autobiographical tale through the eyes of a psychotherapist. Whatever.

It's not exactly Nabokov or Borges, but it was penned by one of my favorite
musicians, so I read it; I give it a meh.
