Police: Woman left dogs, other animals alone without food, water
Barnes faces animal neglect charges
SHIRLEY, Ind. - A Henry County woman faces animal neglect charges and is accused of abandoning multiple animals.
Police said six dogs, two bearded dragons, a bird, a snake and several fish were left in Amanda Barnes' Shirley home for days without food or water.
Mark Adkins and another neighbor with a key to the home noticed the situation last week. They heard barking coming from inside the house and decided to investigate.
"Opened the door and it was pretty much everything you see on television of what you wouldn't want to see," Adkins said.
Adkins said they gave the animals food and water for days before they notified local police.
"Watered them, fed them. They went through 20 pounds of food and almost five gallons of water in 10 minutes. They were hungry, very hungry. I'd say they probably hadn't been fed in a good four days," Adkins said.
Barnes allegedly works for a veterinary office. She said police were exaggerating both the number of animals in the house and their living conditions.
"I would have never thought you'd take care of somebody else's animals up to par and let your own go," Adkins said.
The responding officer said only a gas mask made walking into the house tolerable.
Police said there was no electricity or running water in the home. They think Barnes lived in the home at one point, but they believe it had been vacant for weeks.
Barnes was charged with several counts of animal neglect and the animals were taken to the Greenfield Animal Management Center.
The animals were being held as evidence in the case and Barnes will not be allowed to see them until a visit is cleared by a court.

Mediacom Communications Corporation ("MCCC") announced today the completion of a $250 million senior secured term loan and a $225 million revolving credit facility (together with the senior secured term loan, the "financing transactions"), pursuant to a new amended and restated bank credit agreement between the operating subsidiaries of Mediacom LLC and the lenders thereto. Mediacom LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MCCC.
The new term loan has a final maturity of March 31, 2018, and the new revolving credit facility expires on February 5, 2019. Proceeds from the financing transactions were principally used to repay certain existing term loans scheduled to mature on January 31, 2015.
In conjunction with the financing transactions, Standard & Poor's Rating Services raised its corporate credit rating on MCCC to BB- from B+, with a stable outlook, and Moody's Investors Service affirmed MCCC's B1 corporate family rating and revised its outlook to positive from stable.
"We are pleased with the outcome of these financing transactions, which extend maturities of certain debt arrangements," stated Mark E. Stephan, MCCC's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "We enjoy today the best credit metrics in the company's history, given our success with debt reduction and the meaningful deleveraging of our balance sheet since Mediacom completed its go-private transaction in March 2011. The ratings upgrade by Standard and Poor's and the revised positive outlook by Moody's underscore our strengthening financial position."
Credit ratings are opinions of a rated entity's ability to meet its ongoing obligations, are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold securities, and are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. Each agency's rating should be evaluated independently of any other agency's rating.

Malicious agents are moving faster than the speed of business. Even more worrisome, most companies are relying on legacy approaches to security that are no longer capable of meeting current threats. In the modern cloud, threat diversity is rapidly expanding, necessitating more sophisticated security protocols than those used in the past or in desktop environments. Yet companies are falling for cloud security myths that were truths at one time but have evolved out of existence.

text: We stayed in a two bedroom villa with a great view of the Lagoons Golf Course and Kalapaki Bay. As a previous reviewer mentioned, this is the old Kalanipu'u Resort. Because this was a Grand Residence it is more for residential living with its own work-out facility, activity room, parking lot and small pool. While there is no beach, restaurant or bar, we could eat at the Kauai Beach Club and sit at the beach there. Using the free shuttle service between resorts is easy but not as convenient as staying on the beach. Loved the kitchen, dinning area and large laundry room. The staff were very nice and helpful. We usually stay at the Kauai Beach Club but will consider using this resort again.

My haul for the year consisted of money, mo' money, a gift card full of fun money (for GameStop), and my Gamecube + games back (and a few extras) from my brother to whom I lent them in the first place (mostly because he got an Xbox 360 for himself). Too bad, I won't be seeing my DSlite back until my Birthday rolls around.

Does [C]- Control, The Money and Sould of Possibility count as an anime that no one has seen? Because that is the most obscure thing I can think of that I have watched(almost every other anime I've seen having ben on Cartoon Network/Adult Swim or based on a popular manga). I'm really not sure how popular [C] was overall. I did like it quite a bit though....could have used a few more fights though.
I heard it was pretty bad and thus doesn't count. Gatch/Zatch Bell was a better entry into the 'gotta' catch/beat them all' genre if, for no other reason, than because the main character's not-Pokémon's final attack was shooting a dragon made of dragons made of lightning.

The rasp/osmose method does take a while, but it's safest and assures you'll win. Yeah, that mp draining will take a very long while (my rasps would do about 400 per cast, osmose would refill all my mp which was in the 5-600 area, and if I recall correctly he's got about 55,000 mp), but you can't really die from it. There are better methods, my favorite was using the esper that made everyone jump and see who killed him (and thus ate the ultima), but they all have possibilities of getting you dead. I threw this method out for people who had trouble with him, that's all.
Also, the thing with espers and stat bonuses...yeah, they're about as needed as a 4 man group of ultima casters. By the end of the game, all you really need is one of the 4 people who can use the Atma Weapon and give them hp boosting gear, an offering, and either a genji glove and ragnarok or excalibur, or an economizer and the quick spell. If you can't kill a boss in 2 rounds you're doing it wrong. Hell, I started going through games specifically not giving people espers because I didn't want spells for my trips to the coliseum. Nothing like using terra and watching her blow 5 minutes of her morph ability standing there casting something silly like merton and wrecking herself. I keep kicking myself for giving my copy of ffvi for the gba to my buddy. I was at the end, going through the secret dungeon...5/8 dragons killed.
There's safety, and then there's walking away from the game for a full night while those Dragon Den Ice Dragons sit there spamming stop and freeze moves/spells while your unkillable dancing Mog waits for literally hours to have the opportunity to do something. Rasp/Osmosing Magimaster may not be on the same level of killing time as the above example but its still less efficient than climbing the tower, getting killed by the Ultima finisher, climbing the tower a second time and beating him using literally any other method (and I'm talking about not needing the Moogle Charm or Charm Bangle for either trip).
Also, the Esper bonuses don't really change that much since most calculations weigh level more than either Vigor or Magic Power. Meanwhile, rocking an Ultima slinging Terra for most of the WoB is a bit more overkill than a four man group of Ultima spammers (since it takes most of the game to actually access Ultima legitimately let alone learning it for a full party of four). Also, where are you getting four Atma Weapons without abusing the item duplication trick or swiping extras from one of the components of Kefka's tower during the final boss fight, let alone four Offerings/Ragnaroks/Excaliburs/Illuminas?

I used to abuse the easy level up trick you could do with bannon early in the game. Just set the commands to memory, edgar auto xbow, bannon health, and terra and sabin fight. Get to the raft part before you fight the octopus, and using a turbo controller, just tape down the confirm buttom. You keep circling around one junction point, and enemies will keep attacking you. A few hours later and you're generally so overpowered the rest of the game is cake. I always giggle hitting the stupid octupus with fire dance and fire 3 at the start of the game.
As for the Tower of Fanatics, bring wall rings and have berserk and rasp/osmose for the last battle. Equip everyone with wall rings and your invincible for 99% of the area. At the boss, hit him with berserk, negating all his spell casting cuz it will heal him on occasion, then just rasp and osmose him til he's out of mp. He'll attempt ultima, but flop cuz he's got no mp, and you win. Also a possibility, learn life 3, which revives you after death, and cast it on someone, then tear him apart, though you'll still want berserk on cuz his physical damage is garbage. His ultima will generally kill anyone under max hp even with shell on. Could also try golem I guess, never did though, cuz rasp/osmose is just so easy.
Fuck no. Rasp/Osmose take forever to bleed away Magimaster's MP (Magimaster has about the same amount of MP as he does HP but MP damage is limited by the MP total cap of just 999, and that's if you can even hit that given that all you have is Rasp (though Osmose can do it if you actually have 999MP but you then need to bleed that all away since it will only drain back what you are missing and it's just slow and tedious no matter which way you do it)). Just use the Berserk trick, nuke his sorry ass, and eat the Ultima with someone/everyone having Life 3 applied.
Also the auto leveling trick is a pretty bad idea as well due to not having Espers and their level up bonuses.

^Not obscure enough I'm afraid. Anybody who's played that Aquaplazza fighting game will at least recognize the dog eared chick with the sword. Plus I've seen part of its successor "Tears to Tiara" and if its anything like that then it was probably thoroughly mediocre too.
Now, I want to say "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" just because those who even know that it exists probably haven't watched it yet due to it being a 110 episode Goliath. But that's both too uncertain and cheating so I'd have to go with "Rideback" instead. Mostly because you'd think it'd devolve into some kind of bullshit revolution or something but it doesn't.

Easy or not, I still hate the Floating Continent until a few level ups (there's no where else worth levelling by that point), and The Fanatics Tower (?). Opera House timed segment sucks beans too.
But the Floating Continent is the only legitimately challenging part of the game, filled with level appropriate enemies that actually have challenging move sets instead of some useless variation on hit/critical/weak base-level spell/spell too expensive to cast.

The Hobbit looked like it was playing in fast forward in 48 fps and the storyline had no resolution for anything. I mean, even in Fellowship of the Ring there was a resolution for the fellowship, and Boromir. For the Hobbit, it really shows that it's one book split into three movies.
I thought it was 2 movies?
. 3 movies.
Meanwhile we're only getting one Lé Misé which is based off of one of the longest tales ever committed to paper (it puts War and Peace to shame), and compared to a trilogy based off a book shorter than any of the three books in its succeeding trilogy it's downright silly.
And let it be said that I will not be surprised if somehow, and for some reason, the Tom Babadil/Old Willow segment from the Fellowship of the Ring will make it into the next Hobbit movie purely for the sake of padding out the movie (hell, they're already padding it out with a D&D quest to slay the Necromancer, which I also wouldn't be surprised to find it based off the Barrow Downs segment also missing from the Fellowship movie). It's not like Jackson's writing fanfiction....just, rearranging the order of events that already existed (in a different set of works) slightly to compensate for
only having half an already short book's worth of material to film left
not covering it the first time when it would've been more appropriate.

I love the chick to the right.
I want to say that the booth on the left end of the picture is the Final Fantasy XIII equivalent of the TARDIS and thus that guy between Lightning and the TARDIS is actually the FFXIII equivalent of The Doctor, but then I remember that this game was written by the same guys who took three games to realize that the best way to foist your shallow one dimensional character onto your fanbase is to not let anybody else in to show her up or become the surprise protagonist (wutup Fang).
Still, it would be a far greater explanation as to how Lightning is getting back to the Dawn of the First Day
72hrs remaining
then whatever bullshit they're probably going to end up shitting out of their uncreative rectums (probably something involving Caius since he's still not Marty Stu enough yet).

I started playing Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones the other day. I'm on Chapter 8, and so far I haven't had too much trouble with the difficulty, although I did choose Normal instead of hard. Anyone who has played FE:SS, would you recommend doing Eirika or Ephraim's routes? Also, are the trainee characters worth raising? I made Ross into a pirate, but I dunno if I wanna do the same for the other two trainees when I get them.
I liked Amelia better than the other trainees. She can promote into a General eventually, and she has really good speed growth so you'll have a General with high DEF and high SPD as well as good damage. Plus you know, female General.
Fun fact: Amelia was going to have a unique class in the beta build, which is like pre-Pegasus Knight
The only really notable difference between Eirika's and Ephraim's routes is a couple of maps during the middle portion of the game, of which Ephraim's contains the more difficult maps (fuck that boat). Beyond that you'll still get the same characters at roughly similar levels when they meet up again during the desert stage.
As for the yet unmentioned trainee Ewan, he's kinda terrible to start with but can eventually into your best Druid while Knoll takes the Summoner class. Otherwise he can just be yet another Sage or your best candidate for becoming a Mage Knight.
And one more note about Amelia is that she also receives a unique sprite as a Cavalier.

"WhateverTom Piazza writes is touched with magic." —Douglas Brinkley
Acclaimed author Tom Piazza follows hisprize-winning novel City of Refuge and the post-Katrinaclassic Why New Orleans Matters with a dynamic collection ofessays and journalism about American music and American character, in DevilSent the Rain.
"TomPiazza's writing is filled with energy, and with tender, insightful words forthe brilliant and irascible, from Jimmy Martin to Norman Mailer. Time and timeagain, Piazza identifies the unlikely, precious connections between recentevents, art, letters, and music; through his words, these byways of popularculture provide an unexpected measure of the times." —Elvis Costello
Editorial Reviews
Diverse work about roots and catastrophe by the gifted essayist and novelist.
This collection of short pieces by Piazza (City of Refuge, 2008, etc.) doesn't entirely hang together, but still mirrors the versatile author's many great strengths. The first of the three sections contains his writing about music, much of it drawn from his tenure as Southern Music columnist for theOxford American. It is highlighted by his unforgettable, wildly colorful profile of the idiosyncratic bluegrass musician Jimmy Martin, published in book form asTrue Adventures with the King of Bluegrass (1999). Piazza also provides thoughtful considerations of prewar bluesman Charley Patton (one of whose songs supplies the tome's title), country pioneer Jimmie Rodgers and pathfinding New Orleans jazzman Jelly Roll Morton; some smart (mostly commissioned) pieces about Bob Dylan; the Grammy-winning notes for a boxed set overview of the blues; and sensitive profiles of rockabilly great Carl Perkins and gospel singer Rev. Willie Morganfield, cousin of bluesman Muddy Waters. The second section is less focused and hence less satisfying. Piazza is a longtime New Orleans resident, and several of the pieces focus on his reactions to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, which he dealt with at full length in both the novelCity of Refugeand the nonfiction workWhy New Orleans Matters(2005). Coruscating with outrage, these entries—which include an edited online chat from theWashington Postand an exchange of private letters—read like adjuncts to those books; the best of them weighs the disaster through the unlikely prism of several old Charlie Chan films. Also included are homages to Norman Mailer, Piazza's friend and literary model, which sit uneasily next to the other chapters. A brief third section wraps the book with a meditation on the moral core (or lack thereof) of Gustave Flaubert's fiction and a lovely report about shopping for 78s at a New Orleans flea market after the deluge.
A grab bag, but a devil of a good one for the most part.

Congratulations to Brittany Carnegie and Milan Lucic
The contingency of fathers among the Boston Bruins is about to increase by one: Milan Lucic is going to be a father.
The happy news was posted on the Twitter account of his fiancee, Brittany Carnegie. Her account is here, and while it is protected, here is a screencapture of the tweet and an ultrasound:
The pregnancy isn't far enough along yet for the expectant parents to know the sex–it looks to be just a few months–but Carnegie is, of course, thrilled at the news. She's been replying to well-wishers steadily since tweeting the announcement. She's even gamely playing along with someone pretending to be Marshall, Tyler Seguin's dog, inquiring as to who the baby's godfather will be.
Last month, Carnegie announced her engagement, also via Twitter. Since then, the couple has had an engagement party and she hinted at where their wedding might be by joking that Lucic will get good use of a gag gift, the infamous green revealing bathing suit from the movie "Borat," in the Bahamas.
Lucic's teammates will probably be on hand to provide lots of advice about the joys of fatherhood. Among the fathers on the Bruins' roster are Zdeno Chara, Andrew Ference, Nathan Horton, Chris Kelly, Rich Peverley, Marc Savard, Dennis Seidenberg and, if we're counting Bruins who are taking a year off, Tim Thomas. Retired Bruin and father Mark Recchi might also be able to provide some pointers.
Congratulations to the mother and father to be! I'm sure we'll see the baby Lucic attired in black and gold onesies before long.

No Outer Reflections—Only Inner Connection
(this blog is recorded on the full blog page: quick time player is needed; works best with Firefox or Explorer; if you are using Google Chrome it will automatically play, so if you don't want to listen, mute your speakers.)
[What if this happened to you?] Hearing celestial sounds like wind chimes but with ethereal notes of cavernous resonance and depth that gave me goose bumps, I wondered if I was dreaming, or in some heavenly place. Rising up from bed, I was wide awake—at least I felt super awake, yet strangely for me, fascinated and enlivened. The unusualness and loveliness of the reverberations were quite astonishing, as was the fact that I couldn't make out a direction from where it was coming from. I felt like I was wearing surround sound headphones or in a room with speakers in every direction, included up and down. Feeling joyfully confused I was curious if I was hearing through my physical ears, or from within? I couldn't tell, though I knew this was an extraordinary, other worldly experience. Every cell in my body was also vibrating to the all-pervading concert.
I rose and turned on the light. Looking around, it was my room alright, yet it seemed it was breathing, or moving to the music. Everything was pulsating, contracting and expanding. I saw the room and its contents as moving flecks, atoms, I guessed, and the particles of air seemed like flowing, effervescent mist. No, I wasn't on drugs—I know what that's like from my past. This was not a chemical hallucination. I was so sure of that—as sure as I live and breathe and experience, but even more than that, as I was hyper alert, yet in the most natural way possible.
I went into the bathroom and turned on the light. There were no mirrors. Just the bare unpainted walls where mirrors had been. Instead of a mirror image, I could sense myself as a conscious being. Wow, that was quite an improvement! Actually everything seemed divine and in harmony. Every part fit with every other part. Nothing was separate from the Source, yet each thing had its own existence, but in perfect cooperation with the Center. I thought, "This is how life should be."
Lord Rama and Lord Chaitanya
[Reposted from 3-24-2010. Saturday March 28th, 2015 is Ram Navami, or Lord Rama's holy appearance day anniversary.] Although Lord Chaitanya is the combined form or Radha and Krishna, coming to give Krishna prema for the fallen souls of Kali-yuga, he also contains all other incarnations of God within him, including Lord Rama. Therefore, Lord Chaitanya is Universal. Anyone desiring to make spiritual advancement and increase their devotion toward any real incarnation of God can obtain that goal by taking shelter of him—he is so merciful and accessible.
Devotees of Shri Rama can see Chaitanya Mahaprabhu as the manifestation of Lord Rama for this age. Shri Chaitanya showed a six armed form to his devotees to demonstrate that he was also Lord Krishna and Lord Rama. At least two principles devotees of Shri Chaitanya were also devotees of Lord Rama. One of them is none other than Hanumanji, who in Chaitanya lila, is the Kaviraja (Ayur-vedic doctor) and great devotee, Murari Gupta. It is said that Murari Gupta cured people's material and spiritual diseases. He was also one of Lord Chaitanya's principle biographers. The stanch devotion to Lord Rama of these two devotees was tested in a similar way by Lord Chaitanya, and then he greatly praised their Rama Bhakti or devotion to Shri Rama.
Spring Meditation
(this blog is recorded on the full page: quick time player needed)
[reprinted from 4-15-2012] Every year I'm so inspired by the feeling of spring as I watch its gradual unfolding like the stages of a lovely flower, from bud to full blown petal perfection, or a step by step, most profound, yet accessible concert, which carries one to a moving experience, difficult to convey to others. While the basics of earth, plants, flowers, trees, insects, animals, wind, sky, clouds, sun, moon, and stars are obvious, how they affect and teach me by the power of Krishna's seasonal changes, can be challenging to express in fresh ways. This is my challenge every year as I am stirred by spring and the various natural transformations, yet because I have the desire to share something meaningful with you, making the endeavor to serve and give, I find new inspiration. This is what has come to me:
The cultivation of spiritual life is like setting different small parts of special lenses in place which enables us to view life from a new and deeper perspective. Beginning with the premise that there is a God, we are eternal souls having a relationship with Him, and that this is a purposeful universe gives us insights completely different from thinking consciousness is simply chemical, electrical reactions, and that life has no meaning. As quantum mechanics in physics has taught scientists that the act of observing something changes the phenomenon being observed, life reflects back to us according to our faith or belief about existence. This can be expressed in the words of Krishna in his Bhagavad Gita [4.11],
Give to Live (The Book)
(this blog is recorded on the full page: quick time player needed; works best with Firefox or Explorer)
[Originally published on 05-16-2013, I'm reposting it now, as I want to share the book with new readers who like my blogs. It is still available in many places in the world.] This was originally the introduction for Give to Live, but we decided to cut it, since the size of the front matter and whole book, had to be reduced. Still, I think it gives a good introduction for the book for those of you who don't have a copy. Additionally, there is a 15 minute video at the end giving a glimpse into the journey of creating the book.
As an introduction to my book, Give to Live, I am thinking about the blessing (or curse) of being a writer. Part of being a writer is the desire to share experience, which is equally true of photographers, artists and the like—people who try to share their perceptions, feelings and thoughts with others through some different medium of one or more dimensions. Yet, sometimes thinking of an experience (or extracting the creative angle) as it is happening makes one less present in the moment. I have taken photos and videos at some temple functions, and felt like I missed the whole thing!
My usual means of sharing experience is what you are reading—words. I think I am very balanced in my "observer's eye" in that I really have to work at turning it on. It doesn't come that naturally for me like with some writers. A friend sent me a book about a poet/gardener now in his 90's who has always loved words, and writing about nature and his garden. His mood of observation and being in the moment is very impressive to me, as I was such a dull, unobservant, and uncreative child. In my current "later years" I am much more present than I could have ever dreamed as a child, though still very inferior to this poet! It is always good to take the humble position regarding our Krishna-given abilities. We are always dependent on His mercy and help in any endeavor and yet we will always find people much better than we are in anything we do. Never the less, that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to use our talents and desires in the service of the Lord, his devotees, and people in general.
The Kirtan Avatar—Shri Chaitanya Gives Divine Love
(this blog is recorded on the full page: quick time player needed)
[I am reposting this blog from 3-6-12 which includes not only a general introduction to Shri Chaitanya, but also, in the comments section, many prayers and pastimes.]The appearance day of Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu has come upon us with the rising of the full moon. Those unfamiliar with the significance of Lord Chaitanya, and/or who want to gain a deeper appreciation for Him—not just intellectually, but practically, personally, and factually within themselves, are recommended to not only study about His life and teachings, but to also chant the Hare Krishna mantra very intently in personal meditation (japa), or with others in loud, melodious song and dance, sankirtan. The ideal environment for this is with those of faith and spiritual standing in the practices Shri Chaitanya taught. If this is not available, you can create a sanctified area in your home, dedicated solely for spiritual practice, praying for good association. The real fruit of knowledge is receptivity, and inspiration to engage in loving devotional service, and chanting brings about both, as it is the means and end of perfection. My teacher, Shrila Prabhupada, using the idea of science to verify theories by experiment, often encouraged us to experiment with chanting.
Prabhupada personally experimented with the holy name when he came first came to the United States in 1965, by chanting with those who had no background in Krishna consciousness, or the Vedic conclusions. Due to his spiritual purity, desire to help others, empowerment by Lord Chaitanya, and full faith in the power of the holy name, his experiment with the Hare Krishna mantra succeeded beyond his wildest dreams.

SNOW BOUND (Our Self-Created Prison) and LIBERATION FROM BONDAGE
(this blog is recorded on the full page: quick time player is needed; works best with Firefox or Explorer; if you are using Google Chrome it will automatically play, so if you don't want to listen, mute your speakers.)
Here in North Carolina we don't get anywhere near the amount of snow of northern states. Mostly the big storms pass us by or don't leave much snow. Occasionally we get a little dusting, or a few inches of that white fluffy stuff. If there is accumulation we have our Mitra (friend) who uses his tractor to plow our road and driveway. Unfortunately for us, he is out of town, and so we really appreciate his kind service, being unable to move out of our driveway, and with temperatures remaining below freezing, there is no end in sight.
We are stuck, and naturally, this is fodder for writing. Today I thought of the idea of being imprisoned by the life we create to be happy—house, car, possessions, family—which at some point may seem a great burden if we aren't using our life for spiritual progress, or to fulfill our life's mission. We may also be psychologically stuck. In these cases we often need outside help to get out of our predicament. For example, we come in contact with a devotee who introduces us to spiritual life and is able to give us a way out of our self-created prison by the holy name and service of the Lord, or as appropriate, tools to change our negative conditioning. We need our Mitra, or well-wishing friend, who can removed the snow of our misconceptions, and give us the true freedom our soul hankers for.
Fate Attraction Part 5—Coming to Krishna
(this blog is recorded on the full page: quick time player is needed; works best with Firefox or Explorer; if you are using Google Chrome it will automatically play, so to not listen, mute your speakers.)
[I am continuing the reposting of this 5 part series as a way to commemorate this month which marks my 45th year of coming to Krishna. This is the final installment (previously posted 2-16-14)--until I make it into a whole book.] Chris had come back from Muir Woods to Berkeley a few times to restock his food supplies and then return, but this time he felt he would stay in town for a while. He wanted to begin searching the library and alternative newspapers for information about different spiritual orders and groups such as the Trappist monks, Buddhists, and various yoga societies. Somehow to have a new life, a spiritual life, and one by which he could focus on useful life skills, being in harmony with Nature, and helping others.
In his second year of college he wasn't impressed or inspired by his teachers. He reasoned that if he continued his education he would become like they who were merely part of the materialistic status quo. His teachers didn't seem interested in changing, becoming better people, or most importantly, in their own souls. Chris felt completely estranged from his old life, apparently lost, even damaged from an external perspective, and yet he felt somehow guided in the process of finding his path. It had been a radical, unpredictable journey and there no end in sight, but his effort to find and live the Truth was worth it, even if his material progress was impeded or lost forever. Without realizing and living the purpose of life, what was the use of any other obtainment, even if praised by the World?
He simplified his life by giving away most of his possessions, and began sleeping on the floor. During the day he would sit on his folded sleeping bag before a small coffee table that he used as a desk. It was covered with stacks of spiritual/religious books, magazines, and notebooks. He dreamed of being a sage or monk, what the I Ching referred to as a "superior man," not in vanity, but in depth of character. Chris had become a vegetarian rather naturally,

Fatal Attraction Part 4: The Awakening—Learning from the Natural World and the Redwood Forest
this blog is recorded on the full page: quick time player is needed; works best with Firefox or Explorer; if you are using Google Chrome it will automatically play, so to not listen, mute your speakers.)
[I am continuing the reposting of this 5 part series.] Growing up in San Francisco, Chris didn't think it unusual or sad if the sky was overcast or foggy—it was just a different color sky, though he liked the sun too. In fact, in a general sense, even at the young age of four he began a lifelong pattern of not look forward to things, or thinking of too much about the past. Though he was learning to shut his emotions down as much as possible, in a strange way he lived in the present, at least his version of it, safe in his castle of neutrality, yet ever on guard so he could remain at peace, and not angry (like his father). He learned that if someone is angry that will mean pain, so he treaded life very gently. When his family moved from L.A. to San Francisco in 1954, he didn't feel much different in his new neighborhood in the Sunset district than he had in his previous house in Van Nuys, especially after making friends—but at first he didn't like the hills. When a neighbor began making skate coasters for the kids, the hills became an asset for fun.
In their flat on 9th Avenue, these were carefree years for Chris, at least on the surface. He had a best friend, Michael Rivers who lived next door, and they played all day, coming home for lunch, and sometimes playing Monopoly. They were loosely under the watch of Michael's mom, since Chris's parents were at work, and sometimes there was a baby sitter, but in those times kids were just let out to their own devices without supervision. As they grew older they enjoyed roaming the neighborhood, finding homes under construction to play in, climbing the tree on the corner, or exploring the hill that steeply dropped down from 8th Avenue to the fast and busy street far below. Sometimes on the weekends they would walk over to Sutro forest and climb to the top with Chris's dad.
Interestingly, from today's perspective, in his youth Chris didn't learn to make any distinction between the city composed of concrete, asphalt, cars, and houses, with the natural environment he encountered in his back yard, in vacant lots, or at Sutro forest. He hadn't yet spent time in country settings which were at least partially undisturbed and full of trees, bushes and wildlife. Although later he and his friends spent time in Golden Gate Park, and had family vacations in scenic resort areas, he still didn't understand that where a city now stood was once a scenic, natural habitat, free from human intervention and "progress." To Chris, human beings seemed to be the center around which everything else revolved, while Nature and its laws were but an afterthought, or only of secondary importance to cities and their inhabitants. It was only when he was in his existential crisis at 18 that Chris really appreciated the natural world. He discovered a Nature that wasn't secondary to human beings. Instead, humans were only a part of Nature. The natural world, the planet, and the Universe, were the basis of all life, having to be properly respected and cooperated with.
Fatal Attraction Part 3—Choosing the Path of Light
(this blog is recorded on the full page: quick time player is needed; works best with Firefox or Explorer; if you are using Google Chrome it will automatically play, so to not listen, mute your speakers.)
[I am continuing the reposting of this 5 part series.] An unusual cold, rainy day in Berkeley, California, but for a particular person, it was a fitting, useful, backdrop for an epiphany, or deep "aha moment." Chris Cox, in a contemplative mood that was becoming almost normal, was sitting on the floor in his minimally furnished room. A single light bulb hung down from the ceiling by a cord speckled with white paint from an ancient paint job. Warming himself in front of the gas heater, he would occasionally look around the room or out the window at the gray day, as if looking for special meaning, or some clue about what was missing from his life. In fact he felt like he, himself, was an existential question waiting to be answered, and for the first time in his life.
Chris had lost his job and was getting food stamps. His hippie house was on "rent strike," having banded together with other renters to withhold paying rent until the "pig landlords" lowered the cost, so he hadn't paid his rent in months. Still, the electricity and water were on, and he had food and shelter. How was this possible that he could live here with no effort? He could just sit here and live, having time to read religious and mystical texts and think about the purpose of life. It all seemed magical, yet purposeful.
He didn't know it yet, but he was experiencing how simple living can foster deep thought about life. As it turned out, this was a rare time when life conspired to make certain results more likely by arranging the environment like a perfect supporting cast.
Fatal Attraction Part 2: Illuminating the Shadow of our Past
(this blog is recorded on the full page: quick time player is needed; works best with Firefox or Explorer; if you are using Google Chrome it will automatically play, so to not listen, mute your speakers.)
[I am continuing the reposting of this 5 part series. The basic premise of this series is to posit that our greatest challenges, problems, reveres, difficulties, hurts, or pain, have the power to crush us (if we let them), or offer the greatest opportunity for personal and spiritual growth. Specifically here, I am speaking of our childhood, and how huge a shadow it casts on our life—which could be good or bad, or likely, a mixture. Our parents are instruments of our karma and are meant teach us valuable lessons for living our lives. Many people don't really worry about this and simply live without a lot of deep introspection about how their past has shaped them, which isn't a bad fact if one is happy and fulfilled.]
(Fast forward sixteen years from the marriage spoken about in part 1.) This seemed like any typical San Francisco summer morning, foggy and cool, but it was anything but normal to Chris, who was going to do something he didn't want to do, while his Dad, Johnny, was happy. They were driving to the courthouse for a divorce settlement. Parking, they walked up the stairs and into the building. John found the appropriate courtroom and they took their seats to wait their turn. Chris felt sick to his stomach and wished he could just run away, but knew he couldn't, so instead, he retreated deeper into himself. It was like he wasn't even there. Disassociation was how he survived childhood and it had served him well. While a good temporary protection strategy, it was a poor way to live at all times. Later in life, Chris would find his biggest challenge was learning to be present, and to feel, whether sadness or love, but depression became a way to be numb, though it gradually became his clue that something was wrong, very wrong.
For all practical purposes, the memory of this courtroom experience was gone, buried under the debris of pain and disappointment. He only knew it happened on the rare occasions his dad recounted how proud he was hearing that Chris, when asked by the judge, wanted to live with his father—which was totally untrue. Even though Chris couldn't remember the last time his dad beat him, he still was afraid of him and on guard in case his father would become angry and hit him, so he didn't speak his mind at court, or for that matter, much at all.

Tune in LIVE to the Triple Feature tonight at 9:00 PM Central, to hear Tom, Joe and I shoot the shit about Monsters vs. Aliens and probably some other stuff. If you've always wanted to ask the three of us a question, we regularly answer reader/listener questions on the show — just shoot us an e-mail at group (at) thetriplefeature.com.
If you can't make it for the live recording, don't forget that you can always download the show as a podcast through iTunes — it's free, and believe me, you get what you pay for with the three of us. 100% professionals, we are. ahem
So! We have a bit of a contest — a Multiplex/Night Projectionist Give-away! Those of you who have been paying attention noticed the copy of The Night Projectionst #1 in the last few strips, and writer Robert Heske has been kind enough to sign three copies for me to give to three lucky winners. (You'll also get a free copy of the Multiplex eBook: HD Edition #1 not signed by anybody, but that's really old, so whatever.)
But I couldn't just give it away to three random people, no. Drawing inspiration from today's Multiplex strip, I want you to go to the Multiplex Forum (sign up if you have to) and share the story of your Creepiest Date Ever. You can use the term "creepy" loosely, if you want — just make it an interesting story. The three best stories before NEXT MONDAY will get copies of the comic(s). See additional rules in the forum post.
(If you don't win, don't feel bad — you can still read The Night Projectionist Noir online every week.)

Multiplex: The Revenge pre-orders are OPEN
Tuesday, August 4, 2015
Now that the Kickstarter project has ended and Multiplex: The Revenge is funded (yay!), I can open up the floor for pre-orders to non-backers via BackerKit. I'm using BackerKit instead of handling things through the Multiplex store (as I did with Book Two), because merging everything and keeping track of essentially two separate crowdfunding projects proved to be a huge headache; BackerKit streamlines that process for me tremendously.
NOT all of the Kickstarter rewards are available, and some are slightly different: i.e. you don't get your name on the Acknowledgments page of the book, and while you can get vector portraits, I can't promise that you'll make it into the third book. (There is only so much room!) Some of the higher level rewards (like original comic strips) are not available, either — although if you have your heart set on one of those, just shoot me an e-mail, and we can probably figure something out.
The current stretch goal is to fund a second printing of Multiplex: Enjoy Your Show (Book One), a necessary step before I can doing a fourth printed book. The amount needed is $7500, with roughly $1,238.97 of Kickstarter's surplus (the amount over the $24,000 funding goal) applicable toward that. Once this goal is reached, I'll add Book One as a reward goal for ANY Kickstarter or BackerKit backers ("preorder backer," as they call them).
I'll put up a few more visible graphics on the site later — there's no urgency at this time, so I won't be bugging you guys about it often. These BackerKit pre-orders will be open for several months and only "lock" in the summer shortly before Book Three goes to press.
If you do want to get your funding dollars in to help support the ongoing production of the book series, check out the Multiplex: The Revenge Pre-Order page on BackerKit today!

CORTLANDT MANOR, N.Y. -- Hudson Valley Hospital Center has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as among the top hospitals in the care of older adults.
According to the magazine's recently released annual report on the nation's best hospitals, Hudson Valley Hospital Center received a regional ranking in geriatric care. Death rates, patient safety and hospital reputation were a few of the many factors considered.
HVHC's status as a magnet hospital for nursing excellence also weighed in the decision. Only 144 hospitals were nationally ranked in a specialty.
The U.S. News & World Report ranking follows the hospital's being chosen as only one of four hospitals in New York state to be rated a top-notch geriatric "NICHE" hospital by the NYU College of Nursing.
In March, Nurses Improving Care for Healthsystem Elders, or NICHE, released a list of nine hospitals that achieved exemplar status for the progress of their nurse-driven programs in raising the level of quality in care of older adult patients. HVHC was the only hospital in the region to receive this honor. Exemplar is the highest of four levels of recognition.
The 2014-15 U.S. News & World Report rankings cover nearly 5,000 medical centers across the country and span 16 medical specialties from cancer to urology. Just 12 percent of the nearly 5,000 hospitals that were analyzed for best hospitals in 2014-15 earned a regional ranking.
