T.S. Eliot and the Fulfillment of Christian Poetics
|Publication Date
|June 2014
|Hardcover Ebook (PDF) Ebook (EPUB)
|Palgrave Pivot
The culmination of a trilogy that began with T.S. Eliot, Lancelot Andrewes, and the Word, and continued with T.S. Eliot: The Poet as Christian, this gracefully executed new book brings to a triumphant conclusion the unique effort to pinpoint and identify the Christian characteristics of Eliot's poetic art. The book offers a close but companionable reading of each of the complex poems that make up Four Quartets, the essay-poem that is Eliot's masterwork. Focusing on the range of speaking voices dramatized, Atkins reveals for the first time the Incarnational form that governs the work's 'purposive movement' toward purification and fulfilment of points of view that were represented earlier in the poems.

Great Service
by Pete D , 06/19/2012
I have always been one to exclusively use the dealer from where I purchased my vehicles as I felt that I would get the best service from them. I have found that Quick Lane provides great service and can do full repairs and it is much cheaper and easier to get into than the dealers that I purchased my cars from. They seem to understand that we are consumers and have a choice as to where we want to take our vehicles and they go above and beyond to keep you as customers. They also have a great rewards program allowing one to earn money off of their services. I have purchased tires and batteries, had my AC system overhauled, power window regulators replaced. They have been great to work with.
by dr julie , 07/29/2010
I was shocked at how fast and efficient the service was. they did everything i aske and gave me a rewards coupon for $12.00 for my next visit. They give me every fifth oil change free and only charge $24.95. They nfixed a cheeck enginelight for me under $60.00 dollars, and do full repairs One other little know fact if you ask they will wash your car for FREE. I wish all repair facilities were like this.

A man can add prostate gland enlargement to death and taxes as one of life's inevitabilities. His prostate gland starts bulking up at about age fifty, and once it starts increasing in size, it never stops. By age seventy-five, almost all -- 90 percent -- of men will have big prostate glands due to a condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). If you are dashing off to the men's room more often than usual, have to strain to urinate, or are embarrassed by occasional episodes of incontinence, BPH may be the culprit. Medical treatments (pills, both prescription and herbal) are now available to ease urination and decrease prostate gland size. When pills stop working and you continue to have problems with urination, prostate surgery can provide relief. This chapter focuses on BPH. Chapter 24 deals with prostate cancer. In this chapter, you will find discussions on:
1. Where the prostate gland is and what it does 2. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) 3. Controlling symptoms caused by BPH 4. Which medication is best to control symptoms of BPH 5. Prostate surgery for BPH 6. The cost of treating BPH
The prostate gland rests in the lower abdomen, nestled between a man's bladder and his rectum. (See Figure 23.1.) Liquid secretions from the prostate gland mix with sperm released from the testicles and contribute to semen. Additional fluid is provided by the seminal vesicles, smaller glands huddled near the prostate. The prostatic and seminal vesicle aqueous secretions provide a convenient and efficient waterway for sperm to be transported out of the testicle and deposited in the vagina at the climax of sexual intercourse.

Character Portrait
Character Portrait of Thordan Silentail
He has inquisitive dark eyes that are like two pebbles on the snowing plain. He is small and has an athletic build. His fur is pure white. He has small quick hands and a long white furry tail. He has well groomed whiskers which he tries to make it stay horizontal permanently. He wears a tight fitted leather armor with a flowing purple cloak. He wears a scimitar with a purple hue to it, styled to resemble a diving eagle. The guard is a pair of bird wings. Its grip is formed like a talon clutching on to a large topaz gem which has multiple crack lines in it. It is named "NutCracker"
Othello's Appearance
This muscular male pony who is combative and feisty. His coat is jet-black. He has a mane that is snow white, and it reminds you of a puffy dandelion. His wide eyes are brown. It has white socks on each of its legs.
Thordan like all ratfolks love shiny objects. He loves gold silver and anything that reflect lights. He polished his scimitar every day so that it catches the sunlight with his every stroke. Thordan has a very outgoing personality and loves to meet new people. Usually he goes into a complete chitter chatter frenzy and starts telling complete strangers his dreams and where he came from. When he is excited he twitches his whiskers and his tail moves around. He always love a good adventure and cannot help but literally poke his nose into matters that intrigue him, like why is the baker missing 4 loaves of bread 2 nights ago or why is there strange noises coming from the sewers at night? Thordan also loves to tinker with objects, his personal favorite is a 6 sided with 6 shades of pink puzzle box given to him by Lady Fiona on his birthday. Thordan also love to collect items which he thinks might be useful in the future. More than all these, Thordan loves to sing though to the untrained ear it may just sound like 2 rats squeaking in harmony at certain high notes of the song.
His favorite phase? I will Never Fail!.
Personal Ethos
To live; to serve Justice tirelessly. (Maybe....)
To bestow Courage, Benevolence and Respect upon the weak. (Preferably they pay in cheese)
To owe our friends nothing but Honor, Honesty and Loyalty. (What do they owe me then?)

At 1st level, a bard can use his performance to counter magic effects that depend on sight. Each round of the Distraction, he makes a Perform (act, comedy, dance, or oratory) skill check. Any creature within 30 feet of the bard (including the bard himself) that is affected by an illusion (pattern) or illusion (figment) magical attack may use the bard's Perform check result in place of its saving throw if, after the saving throw is rolled, the Perform check result proves to be higher. If a creature within range of the Distraction is already under the effect of a non-instantaneous illusion (pattern) or illusion (figment) magical attack, it gains another saving throw against the effect each round it sees the Distraction, but it must use the bard's Perform check result for the save. Distraction does not work on effects that don't allow saves. Distraction relies on visual components.
Fascinate (Su)
At 1st level, a bard can use his performance to cause one or more creatures to become fascinated with him. Each creature to be fascinated must be within 90 feet, able to see and hear the bard, and capable of paying attention to him. The bard must also be able to see the creatures affected. The Distraction of a nearby combat or other dangers prevents the ability from working. For every three levels a bard has attained beyond 1st, he can target one additional creature with this ability.
Each creature within range receives a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 the bard's level + the bard's Cha modifier) to negate the effect. If a creature's saving throw succeeds, the bard cannot attempt to fascinate that creature again for 24 hours. If its saving throw fails, the creature sits quietly and observes the performance for as long as the bard continues to maintain it. While fascinated, a target takes a –4 penalty on skill checks made as reactions, such as Perception checks. Any potential threat to the target allows the target to make a new saving throw against the effect. Any obvious threat, such as someone drawing a weapon, casting a spell, or aiming a weapon at the target, automatically breaks the effect.
Fascinate is an enchantment (compulsion), mind-affecting ability. Fascinate relies on audible and visual components in order to function.
Inspire Courage (Su)
A 1st level bard can use his performance to inspire courage in his allies (including himself), bolstering them against fear and improving their combat abilities. To be affected, an ally must be able to perceive the bard's performance. An affected ally receives a +1 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +1 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls. At 5th level, and every six bard levels thereafter, this bonus increases by +1, to a maximum of +4 at 17th level. inspire courage is a mind-affecting ability. inspire courage can use audible or visual components. The bard must choose which component to use when starting his performance.
In the beginning...there was MICE!!
Somewhere far far away in the Verduran Forest lies a warren of ratfolks living together harmoniously. The nearest human settlement was the sleepy town of Falcon Hollow which lumberjacks mostly lived in. It is not known exactly how a warren of ratfolks would settle in a distant land far away from Tian Xia where most of their kind settled. However, according to some old ratfolk lore many generations ago, there was a famous Ratfolk Merchant named Christofelt Crumbles who brought along a caravan of some 30 ratfolks to establish a new trade route. However, during their travels they got lost in the Verduran Forest as the wayfinder Christofelt Crumbles was using was swallowed by the only giant rat pulling the caravan. In order to get the wayfinder, they prepared a potent concoction of herbs to cause the giant rat to have diarrhea. After much diarrhea time, they managed to locate the wayfinder but it was broken. Unfortunately the concoction proved too strong for the giant rat as it soon died from dehydration. Without a working wayfinder and a proper transportation, the ratfolks decided to rest in a clearing next to a stream and work out a solution. They promised to meet the next day to discuss how can they make their way back to Tian Xia. Well they forgot. Soon days turn to months and months turn to years and years turn to decades until the last ratfolk of the original 30 passed away. The future generations of ratfolks are pretty much clueless why they are living in the middle of the Verduran Forest, but i guess life goes on...
Well it is in one of the many barrows in the warren, Thordan Silentail was born. He was born as a stillborn in a litter of 5 rats. His mother Mrs Silentail was sad that one of them is a stillborn
Well at least i have 4 of them... she thought.
Just when Mrs Silentil was about to ask the nursing mother to dispose of him, Thordan Silentail started wailing..thus the runt of the of household Silentail was born.
Growing up, Thordan accompanys his father Mr Silentail in tending their carrot fields while his older brothers and sisters learnt and studied in schools about crafts and merchantship. While Thordan loves carrot, he definitely do not love them so much that he will spend everyday with them!!
Why can't I attend school like my brothers and sisters Dad?
Well that's because you are so small Thordan, it's better you stay beside me... replied Mr Silentail.
You see, his siblings all grew tall and strong like normal Ratfolk children and they always bully Thordan due to his smaller size.
Someday i will grow to be the biggest Rat in this village...no in this world!! Wait till you see!! I will never fail!! Thordan shrieks after the other children in the village as they laughed and pounced away leaving him sitting in the mud.
One day, while Thordan was carrying carrots to the warren market to sell for the he came across a merchant stall selling books. Like all good old curious ratfolk, he cant helped but be drawn towards the shiny object located in the piles of trinkets. He dug into the pile and pulled out a needle like object.
Ahhh...I see you found something interesting. Got it off a training fighting school instructor for children in the city of Almas. He mentioned that he wanted to be a baker instead that's why he is selling away all his gear the white furred ratfolk merchant chattered.
Thordan pull out the blade from the brown scabbard and it is a plain dull steel rapier designed for a young human child. He touched the pointed end of the rapier and it was sharp
I can sell trade you for it...those huge carrots of yours look mighty fine...so what say you my furry lad?
Thordan hesitated but he can feel the furs on his back tingling with excitement.
I tell you what, since we are fated together on this fine day. I shall throw in a book that teaches you how to fence. No use trying to use that thing without proper training aye?
Thordan left the stall a happy Ratboy carrying the blade and a book titiled "In Out, In Out, the basic steps for the aspiring rapier-ist.". Of course he was canned by Mr Silentail that evening for losing the carrots but Thordan took it all with a smile knowing his trusty sword which of no surprise he named it "Needle" was safely hidden under one the the loose floorboards in the barn...
Seasons passed, and Thordan has grown considerably much from the last time we met him. By now he has memorized and mastered every move in the book, thanks to his late night trainings alone in the barn. One day, Thordan had a crazy idea to start an adventure of his own. Packing his gear and trusty Needle, he venture out into the woods..
On his journey, he heard a loud scream in the woods. Curious, he dashed towards the scream. In the foliage he saw a young human girl cornered by a snarling timber wolf. Instinctively, Thordan screamed and dashed out of the bush towards the wolf.
The girl screamed when she saw a screaming ratfolk burst out of a bush.
Oh furry paws, I do not know if this was a good idea.. thought Thordan before turning his focus back on the wolf.
The wolf turned around and pounced towards the charging ratboy. Upon closer inspection, Thordan realized that the timber wolf is at least 2 times his size. His training took over and he thrust his rapier towards the wolf, the wolf landed unto Thordan with a yelp burying him under a mass of bones and fur. His rapier has found it's mark and it has pierced the heart of the wolf. Thordan rolled over the wolf over his body as he faced the young human girl. He never noticed before but she seems well dressed with a nice silk dress with golden braided hair set in a complicated intertwining pattern.
Must be a lady thought Thordan as he bowed before the girl and said Thordan Silentail at your service My Lady"
Just at that moment a steed burst out from the green foliage.
Back off fiend!! spoke the rider on the steed. He was dressed in a suit of dark leather armor as he readied his sword.
Ricardo stop it! He just saved my life! shouted the girl.
But My Lady...he is a monster. replied the knight. Thordan frowned at that remark.
It is a command! Ricardo snorted in disbelief before sheathing his sword.
The girl then introduced herself as Fiona Evenheart the daughter of a local rich merchant. She introduced Ricardo as her father's captain and they are out today for a hunting trip. She then invited Thordan to accompany her at her castle despite Ricardo's protest.
Sir Mouse Guard?
Fiona was thrilled with Thordan's tail as she keeps touching it and asking him to do tricks with it. When they arrived at the castle courtyard, her father Merchant Lord Tharkin stepped out to greet her. He was amused at her daughter's furry companion. Fiona then moved on to explain how Thordan rushed to her rescue when the wolf threatened her. Lord Tharkin thanked Thordan and asked him what can he do in return? Before Thordan could reply, Fiona stepped in and requested Thordan to be her personal bodyguard. Lord Tharkin was flabbergasted but he gave in to her daughter whom he loves very much.
Sir Thordan Silentail will you take the honor and oath to serve my house to protect at all cost the life of Fiona Evenheart all the days of your life?
i will never fail, My Lord. replied Thordan.
So it was at this place Thordan Silentail met the renowned Dervish Bard Prancelin Parques who serves as Lord Tharkin personal bodyguard.
So you think you know how to fight? asked Prancelin as he twirls the pointed end of his long gravity defying mustache.
Its a wonder how he keeps his mustache horizontal, I bet he never washes them that's how. thought Thordan as he touched his own whiskers trying to keep them as straight as possible.
Yes dear famous teacher, I have trained myself using Needle my pointy sword and I have killed me a huge ferocious wolf by poking him.
And what if you cannot poke him? Or if he evades you and runs behind you? Or if he spits at you? asked Prancelin now twirling both ends of his mustache with his both hands.
I run?
You run?! We believe in Sarenrae and we never run! I will teach you the art of the famous dervish dance with the scimitar and not that little barbeque stick you call Needle. If you cant poke? You will slash, if he evades you will follow and if he spits at you...well you spit back! exclaimed Prancelin now twirling both ends of his mustache at a furious pace.
Thordan nods his head eagerly like a child at a candy store.
Prancelin then taught Thordan the personal creed to live his life by
To live; to serve Justice tirelessly.
To bestow Courage, Benevolence and Respect upon the weak.
To owe our friends nothing but Honor, Honesty and Loyalty.
Thordan thought it was awesome. At least he knows something his siblings don't.
Thus for the next 6 years Thordan trained under the tutelage of the famous (Thordan thinks...) Dawnflower Dervish. He has trained in the use of the scimitar as a deadly weapon that does not require great strength and in the ways and teachings of Sarenrae. Thordan also learned riding from the reluctant Ricardo on weekends. Fiona gave him his first pony that year. It is a jet black pony and has white socks on each of its legs. Thordan was reminded of a game he played with the village ratfolk children and he name the pony "Othello". Othello is a feisty pony that loves to tap along when Thordan does his battle dance.
When Thordan first saw the portrait of the goddess Sarenrae he thought he saw Lady Fiona. The fact that Sarenrae resembles Lady Fiona gave Thordan the motivation to devote himself into the dervish dawnflower ways and teachings. He also learned how to sing while fighting in the style Prancelin is most fond of. Oratory. He loves singing Opera songs and playing the lyre to tunes such as "The Peanutcracker", "Cannonballs in D" and his favorite " Goose Lake"
Whenever he is not training under Prancelin Parques he would be accompanying Fiona to hunting trips, town visits, dancing balls in his customized armor and scimitar. They have grown very close and every night before Thordan goes to sleep, he tells himself I will never fail Lady Fiona...
Lord Tharkin is an ardent supporter of the pathfinder society. He has helped funded many expeditions to unexplored areas for the advancement of mankind. He built a room of a huge collection of artifacts and history relics from his expeditions. One of Thordan's favorite past time is to sit in the middle of this room an admire the dazzling stuff. His inquisitive nature allows him to spend hours and sometimes even days in tinkering these artifacts.
Flames to dust, Lovers to friends...Why do all good things come to an end?
On his 21st birthday, Fiona held a grand party for Thordan. There was fireworks, magicians and alot alot of cheese...Thordan was ecstatic and touched at the same time. Fiona knew Thordan love to tinker with objects and gave him a 6 sided with 6 shades of pink puzzle box. When the time for the cake cutting ceremony has arrived, a large cake prepared by Lord Tharkin was rolled out. The cake was served to every guest and Fiona suddenly fainted.
The doctors and priests of Saranrae cannot find the reason for her sickness. Thordan spent nights beside Fiona's bed crying and wailing.
Lady..I have failed you... cried Thordan.
Silly...you have never failed me and you will never fail... replied Fiona each time.
One day, Lord Tharkin summoned Thordan into his room. He asked Thoprdan if he would like to save Fiona. Thordan leaped unto Lord Tharkin and exclaims he will do anything to save her. Ricardo drew his sword. Lord Tharkin pushed Thordan away and signaled Ricardo to sheath his sword.
I have heard that the white witches of Irrisen has magical healing powers that can heal Fiona. Their powers arrive from the witch queen Baba Gaya...
Pssst My Lord, I believe it's Baba Yaga whispered Ricardo.
Yes i mean Baba Yaga..apologies on the mistake, her name is quite babblish. blushed Lord Tharkin.
I will go My Lord. I will never fail! replied Thordan with determined eyes.
Excellent! My house is in your debt Sir Thordan Silentail bowed Lord Tharkin.
Unknown to both Fiona and Thordan, Lord Tharkin finds Thordan a nuisance and for a more important reason he has plans to arrange the marriage of Fiona to another Merchant's Son to secure a profitable trade route as she too has come of marriageable age. He knew that unless Thordan is away from Fiona, that will not be possible. That is why he chose Thordan to go away to a land far far away from here; Irrisen. In fact he just read about Baba Yaga from a local children story book. Lord Tharkin knew one thing that no one knows beside him and that is Lady Fiona is allergic to almonds. When she was young, one of the maids fed her almonds and Fiona fainted and went into a week long of weakness and fatigue. Since then, no almond was allowed in the castle until recently Lord Tharkin ordered the chef to prepare an almond cake for Thordan's 21st birthday party.
After saying his goodbyes to a tearing Prancelin, he boarded the ship "Eventi Horizini" with Othello bound for Irrisen with a hand drawn map indicating the exact location of Baba Yaga which no one has seen for the past century or so. Along with the map is a bag of gold and a scimitar given by Prancelin as his 21st birthday present. The scimitar has a purple hue to it, styled to resemble a diving eagle. The guard is a pair of bird wings. Its grip is formed like a talon clutching on to a large topaz gem which has multiple crack lines in it.
Probably cheaper to get a cracked topaz thought Thordan when he received the scimitar from Prancelin. Prancelin named it "NutCracker".
Thordan sniffed the air, it definitely smells of adventure..
Furry paws...Let's hope they eat cheese there...thought Thordan as the ship sailed into the sunset.
Journey to the edge of the world
Aboard the ship "Eventi Horizini" Thordan met the captain of the expedition, Captain Thundereater. He is a jolly good captain who talks in a thunderous voice.
I AM SO LOUD THAT I CAN'T HEAR MYSELF BECAUSE I AM DEAF FROM MY VOICE!!! Captain Thundereater would say laughing and rubbing his belly in glee.
Lord Peter Pinlin Putrin the gnome merchant is the one who funded the expedition to the icy lands of Irrisen. He also have his daughter Pene Putrin with him.
I do not usually carry stowaways with me on my expeditions but Lord Tharkin is exceptionally persuading with his money pouch. said Peter Pinlin Putrin when he first cast his eyes upon Thordan.
Thordan was thrilled. A full grown man at his height. Fancy that! For a moment Thordan thought his dream came true, to grow as tall as Lady Fiona...however the thought was dispersed when his body guard Snarkins Etermis appeared beside them. He is a shady character dressed in black garbs and he towered over both Lord Peter Pinlin Putrin and Thordan. Thordan gulped when he saw Snarkins.
He sure look scary...i bet Prancelin Prance mustache would droop at his sight...
Lord Peter coughed.
I know that you are thinking what is a well established merchant like me wandering off alone to the end of the world?
Well, I am quite a genius as you can see... Lord Peter smug. Thordan though he saw Snarkins rolled his eyes.
Well when I was visiting the marketplace at Almas one day I came across a shop selling furs. When I was inside, I overheard a customer commenting why is there no white furs for sale. The shop owner mentioned that there are very little white furry animals in Andoran and if there was a shop selling such furs, it will be very profitable. Lord Peter looked at Thordan expectantly waiting for a response.
Ok...Thordan replied unsure...
AND!! My genius mind goes into motion and I thought at that moment if I can locate and bring in white furs to Almas, it will be very profitable because there are very little white furry animals in Andoran!!! Lord Peter exclaim in a crescendo lifting both his hands in the air!
Snarkins clapped. Lord Peter bowed. Thordan saw Snarkin rolled his eyes again.
Errrmmmm well Lord Peter..I am white in color..does that mean I am profitable? said Thordan.
Lord Peter was stunned. He narrowed his eyes and kicked Snarkins before stomping off.
THAT WAS CLASSIC MY FURRY FRIEND!!! BWAHAHAHA!!! came a loud thunder from behind.
SSSHHHHH!!! I KNOW I AM NOT ALLOWED NOT SAY THIS SO I AM SAYING THIS VERY SOFTLY TO YOU...YOU ARE FIRST ONE TO SHUT THAT POMPOUS PRICK UP!!! AND FOR THAT YOU HAVE MY RESPECT!! whispered loudly Lord Thundereater.
Thordan grinned. Guess this trip wasn't so bad after all. So over the next few hours, Thordan shared his story and the reason for joining in this trip. Captain Thundereater paid really close attention to him breathing very hard.
Even his breathing is so loud...wonder what happens if he farts...I bet he will split the Arcadian Sea thought Thordan.
At the end of the story Captain Thundereater said he heard of the village Frostbark and he can arrange an Ulfen guide to bring him there.
"Eventi Horizini" will depart from the port in Almas pass the nation of Cheliax into the Arcadian Ocean and up north pass the island of Hermea and into the Streaming Sea and to the port of Kalsguard. It is a very long journey. Long enough for Thordan to know everyone on the ship.
He met Pene Putrin, Lord Peter's daughter and she is a very sociable and fun gnome unlike her father. Of course it helps Thordan's esteem that he is taller than her. She passed him a portrait book and asked him to show her what does Lady Fiona looked liked. The portrait book was marvelous with every possible features of every race hair eyes nose mouth chin. After much time, he managed to get a close resemblance of Lady Fiona. He replicated the potrait on a small nautical flag he found intending to use it as a banner for Othello.Thordan also discovered the game of bowling as he thought the game cannot get anymore simpler than that. He also got a kite from Pene and one of his favourite pastime is to sit on the ship deck lying on Othello and lazily observe the kite dancing with the wind current.
One of the night, when Thordan was admiring the night sky, Snarkins crept up and said I am not gonna kill you, even though your white fur is profitable. Thordan jumped up and drew out Nutcracker. Snarkins raised his hands showing empty palms. In an instant, there was a click and a dagger appeared in his hands. He strike and Thordan parried, Snarkins twisted his dagger and disarmed Thordan, his scimitar sliding on the ship deck.
Some advice...things are never as what they seem. You are too trusting too naive. With that he disappeared into the shadow leaving Thordan to ponder upon his words.
After weeks at sea, the port of Kalsguard is in view. At the dock, Captain Thundereater and Pene Putrin bid him farewell. Pene gave him a bowling set and a kite.
YOUR GUIDE IS AWAITING YOU AT THE DOCK. HE WILL BRING YOU TO THE VILLAGE OF FROSTBARK FOR YOUR LADY BABA GAGA! exclaimed Captain Thundereater.
Bending over to Thordan and turning his head to make sure Lord Peter is not listening JUST BETWEEN YOU AND ME I WILL STAY HERE FOR AT LEAST 2 MONTHS. DO NOT WORRY ABOUT LORD PETER I CAN HANDLE HIM. DO COME BACK TO LOOK FOR ME IF YOU CAN MAKE IT! Captain Thundereater whispered loudly.
Lord Peter choked.
Thordan thanked the both of them and walked towards the snorting Othello trotting around in circles, happy to be standing on solid ground after weeks at sea. As Thordan opened the saddlebag to place his backpack, he noticed a small parcel. He opened it up and found a note in it.
I do not call you my friend but I want to help you. I just gave you a wrist sheath that hides a dagger. Remember things are always do not what they seem..
PS: I have attached a weapon cord for you to prevent your weapon from leaving your hands again.
Snarkins Ertemis
Thordan looked back and saw Snarkins in the shadow smiling...
He looks scarier smiling... though Thordan as he smiled back nervously. Saddling on to Othello, he followed the Ulfen guide into the cold wilderness.
Furry paws....

Whatever happened to corporations absorbing their own costs of doing business?
NES is raising rates more than $9 a month, passing on an alleged hike by its primary power source, TVA. Metro Water Services not only charges multiple fees, but has the audacity to bill for meter reading; and AT&T just hiked home phone use by $2 a month, while collecting 95 cents for a regulatory authority "inspection" fee.
As they continue outsourcing production, lobbying for deregulation, and oppose raising the pitiful $7.25 minimum wage, conglomerates could care less that 80 percent of consumers averaged an income decline.
There's no relief for the average folk who struggle to simply put food on the table and pay these mounting bills, because Big Business has our elected representatives in their pockets.
Come election time, we need to show them the people are still in charge.

The three-day investigation is expected to shed further light on 'the discovery of the century.'
Turkeys were raised by ancestral people of the American Southwest, but not for reasons that most might think.
Two presidential candidates have claimed they saw American Muslims cheering after the 9/11 attacks. They did not, but there are psychological reasons they may have thought they did.
King Arthur's grave, allegedly found by monks in 1181, is nothing but a pit filled with rubble.
The idea of a feast of thanks certainly wasn't invented by the settlers at Plymouth.
When something like a terrorist attack or a natural disaster occurs, emotions and information run at high speed -- how do fear, chaos and a thirst for accurate data play out on social media?
The ring, found in England by an amateur using a metal detector, dates back around 1,700 years -- a time when the Roman Empire was in power.
How did craftspeople make ultra-fine, almost translucent parchment used in Medieval bibles? It was all about technique, research shows.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Wplola very comfortable Extremely comfortable, fits just right. Not just for working out either November 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Sarah Like second skin Love these, they stay in place and are seamless. . October 29, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by CindyRuns2 Most comfortable underwear I've worn! I wore this for a half marathon and it felt like I had nothing on, which I was looking for since I didn't want to be chafing the whole time. I was skeptical of the "one size fits all" but it was snug without feeling too tight or lose. Loved that there was a variety of colors to choose from and didn't have to feel self-conscious about any lines showing through my leggings. October 23, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Avhofstetter Awesome These are awesome! That stay where they should and don't bunch up to where they shouldn't! October 14, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5�by Meg87 Not that great This product is not that great. The fabric is too stiff and does not have flexibility. Uncomfortable for all day wear. September 8, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5�by aavogaro41 Only if you're skinny in the waist I love the material these are made of and the neon yellow stitching was a fun detail on the nude color panties. But unless you have a flat stomach I don't think these are a good choice. I have a bit of a tummy and they instantly rolled down from the top because of the seamless waistband. It was very annoying and I only wore them once before I threw them in the trash. September 2, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by SoulSinging Some of the comfiest undies I have ever worn. These are super comfortable and can be worn under most clothing. I was a bit put off by the "one size" only option, but the material is super stretchy and breathable. Wore these for the first time hiking and camping.I plan to buy more. Worth the price. August 31, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5�by Presleysmom Product has good material This product was bought for running. It states one size fits all, however, that is not the case. It is still a bit tight. Bright side, comfortable for running August 25, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by runlaurenrun34 can't feel or see a thing no lines and you don't even realize you're wearing a thong! August 25, 2015

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Back2back Ministries, Mason, OH, USA
Back2Back is a tremendous resource to orphans and the poor in Mexico. They do a fantastic job of making short-term missions trips to Mexico a reality for our church. We enjoy a great partnership with them and take at least two trips per year. As a missions pastor, I heartily endorse Back2Back as a great agency doing first-class work. They are organized, detailed and they always keep the main thing the main thing, which is this case is creating mission experiences that benefit both the orphans and the poor of Mexico, as well as the short-term mission team members too. Take a trip with Back2Back - you'll never be the same!

About this listing
Towels, bed sheets, soap, and toilet paper
Central heating or a heater in the listing
The Space
Double bed room available in a country house in Assisi. Wonderful location, inside the Subasio Park. Ideal for resting after a busy turist day. 480 mt. on the sea level, slightly sulphorous natural water in the bathroom. Charming and romantic, it is isolated enough to enjoy the silence and peace of the forest, although well connected to get to Assisi town center in 10 minutes drive.
The country house is just 50 metres far from a waterfall of the River Tescio, ideal for bathing and relaxing. Its patio includes a table, chairs and parasol for breakfast outdoors.
Wi-Fi and parking free.
We are also very happy to cater for vegetarians.
La Zuppa inglese b&b is easily found: coming from Assisi, take the road to Gualdo Tadino (SP 444); 5 km. out of Assisi, at km.26 of the road, take a right, direction Santa Maria di Lignano; once on the road to Santa Maria di Lignano, after about 2 km take a right at the crossroad, and after 400 m. you will find on your right a small road that goes right into the woods literally. That is the entrance of La Zuppa inglese b&b.

In this photo taken on Tuesday, March 4, 2014, James Dean, owner and breeder at Hilltop Springers, plays fetch with Grace, a German shorthair pointer in Fort Madison, Iowa. Dean, who has bred German shorthairs and English springer spaniels for seven years, only breeds once a year. Some pet breeders in Iowa say proposed legislation placing new restrictions on their work would put them out of business in the state.

Regarding the article (March 6) "Iowa Pet Breeders: Law Would Destroy Us:"
How is it that having you treat your animals in a humane manner and making them desired pets would destroy your business? Any reliable breeder would welcome inspections of their facilities.
I urge the public to contact their state representatives to encourage them not to cave in to breeders.

When Sam Swiller used hearing aids, his musical tastes ran to AC/DC and Nirvana — loud bands with lots of drums and bass. But after Swiller got a cochlear implant in 2005, he found that sort of music less appealing.
"I was getting pushed away from sounds I used to love," he says, "but also being more attracted to sounds that I never appreciated before." So he began listening to folk and alternative music, including the Icelandic singer Bjork.

A brawl among as many as five rival motorcycle gangs turned deadly on Sunday in Waco, Texas. Nine bikers were killed and 18 injured at a popular sports bar frequented by the gangs. No bystanders or employees were hurt.
Waco police said trouble had been brewing at the Twin Peaks bar and grill for some time. Bikers had been congregating there in ever-increasing numbers, and there had been more and more arrests for fights and weapons. Authorities had intelligence that there was a high potential for violence on Sunday. And they were right.

Ascend, an Asian-American professional organization based in New York, found that although 27 percent of professionals working at those companies are Asian or Asian-American, fewer than 19 percent of managers, and just under 14 percent of executives, are.

The self-declared Islamic State claims its fighters have seized Ramadi in Iraq's western Anbar province, even as Iraqi officials disagreed on whether the city was lost and Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi ordered Shiite militias not to abandon their positions.
In a statement, the extremist group said it seized tanks and killed "dozens of apostates," referring to Iraqi security forces, according to Reuters. A spokesman for the governor of Anbar province also said the city had fallen to ISIS.

It is part of the American dream, the notion that if you have a good idea and a fire in your belly, you can turn an idea into a successful business. It's that entrepreneurial spirit that drives the global economy.
That message is everywhere in our culture. President Obama echoed it last week, at a summit on entrepreneurship at the White House.

A typical Uruguayan asado, or barbecue, is made up of vast racks of prime cuts of beef, pork or chicken roasted on a grill next to — not on top of — a wood burning fire.
At parilla restaurants across the capitol Montevideo, the asados are pretty epic; the fatty cuts sizzle and then get slapped onto your plate, oozing with juice.
But if you want to grab a salt shaker and add a bit of extra salt to your meal these days in the Uruguayan capital, you can't.

Taking a stand
The sheriff in Cook County, Illinois, is taking a stand. He has apparently become the first sheriff in a major metropolitan area to order his deputies to stop evicting people from their homes in foreclosure situations.
Thats because Sheriff Tom Dart says he has found they are frequently evicting unsuspecting renters. They have put tenants out on the street who were keeping up with their rent payments, and who had no idea that their landlord was not doing the same with their mortgage payments. Renters in many cases have not been told of the impending foreclosure by either their landlord, or the bank seeking the foreclosure, he says.
We will no longer be party to something thats so unjust, Dart said at a press conference in Chicago yesterday, according to the Associated Press.
Illinois law requires that renters be notified their residence is in foreclosure and that they will be evicted in 120 days, but the sheriff told the Associated Press this law has routinely been ignored. As such, some tenants have gone off to work in the morning completely unaware that sheriffs deputies would be arriving to remove their possessions from the property and leave them on the curb. Lately the sheriff's office has been handling 400 to 500 foreclosures in a month, and of those roughly one-third are rental properties and not owner-occupied properties, AP reported.
Earlier this week, a judge refused to issue a contempt order against Dart when his deputies did not enforce an eviction order because they had determined the property occupants were not the owners and had not been properly notified of the foreclosure. After that, Dart decided to impose the ban. Now, if banks want to get any help from the sheriffs office for an eviction, they will have to present a court affidavit that proves the homes occupant is either the property owner or has been properly notified of the foreclosure proceedings
My job as sheriff is to follow court orders, absolutely, Dart said to the AP. But Im also in charge of making sure justice is being done here and it is clear that justice is not being done here.
I give this guy all the credit in the world for taking a stand for the little people who are getting barreled over in the foreclosure mess. If the lenders and landlords wont do it, someone should. Would you do anything else in his place?

Our Technological Resource Can Lead the Way in a Global Market; Damian Sanders, Audit and Assurance Partner with Deloitte & Touche, Explains Why There Is No Excuse for Merseyside to Be Left Behind in Hi-Tech World
Byline: Damian Sanders
THE Merseyside business community has no excuse for being left behind in the relentless march of technology as the region is well stocked with hi-tech businesses already, and has a massive pool of resource locally, be it finance, research, consultancy or logistics.
Established technology-based businesses are prospering, although many of those most directly connected to internet activities suffered last year from the worldwide disillusion over dotcom and telecom stocks.
Liverpool's platform of web designers and consultancies continues to thrive - firms like Web Shed, Enzyme, Nonconform, New Mind and others with good track records and exciting client lists, while young pretenders bite at their market share.
Amaze was one of those hit by the dotcom downturn. The internet services company - which had grown to a team of 120-plus - is back down to 80 employees but, says chief executive Stuart Melhuish, is strong and growing again.
One of Deloitte & Touche's Fast 50 technology firms, and on the Sunday Times' TechTrack 100 list, Amaze was originally a spin-off from John Moores University.
With clients including United Utilities, DFES and NWDA, Amaze is partnering Cambridge-based artificial intelligence firm Autonomy on some sparky deals with 'a Government institution', as Melhuish puts it, discreetly.
"We're all about the interface between human beings and information, and the automation of delivery, " says Melhuish.
As for start-up businesses in the IT technology sector, Merseyside is no further forward than anywhere else.
Market sentiment is still unenthusiastic about anything that could be tarred with the dotcom brush, unless the business model is as strong or stronger than for a more conventional sector.
At Merseyside Special Investment Fund, where the new pounds 80m venture fund is in place, managers are seeing good quality proposals coming through.
"We are actively looking at a number of technology-related opportunities based on technologies that enhance the business rather than drive it, " says Gerry Mobbs, in charge of the venture fund.
"The key is a good team and strong intellectual property with a commercial application."
Support for technology-based firms apart, there is plenty of resource for businesses wanting to exploit technology to improve processes, product development, operations and general management.
MERIT, for instance, is working with Liverpool Chamber of Commerce to give advice and act as honest broker to any business needing help with information and communications technology.
Chief executive Steve Connolly says, although it takes 20 minutes to explain what ICT means to some business owners, take-up of MERIT's membership services is encouraging.
Founded as a forum for large local firms to discuss ICT and support each other, MERIT has outgrown its voluntary group and opened membership to any organisation wanting help.
"Our monthly meetings are open to members to discuss all aspects of ICT, from strategy to specific technical issues - a sizeable benefit of the events is sharing problems and solutions, " says Connolly.
MERIT has a free problem-solving service where one firm's problem is offered to the rest of the membership on the basis that someone will know the answer.
It has now set up a degree course in Business Information Systems with John Moores University to integrate ICT and business.
It's a good start - Merseyside, like everywhere else, still needs a big PR job doing to sell the importance of ICT to business at all levels. …

Here is a Copy of the info from www.staticfactory.org. If you can't make it to the event, you can listen in on the website for free this Sunday at 7pm PST.
Burning Man Founder & Director Larry Harvey to Speak in Seattle
Larry Harvey, founder and executive director of the Burning Man project, will present a lecture on Sunday, April 25 2004 at 8:00 p.m. at the Capitol Hill Arts Center (CHAC). In this, his first address to a Seattle audience, Harvey will discuss Burning Man, the artwork inspired by and presented at the event, and the Black Rock Arts Foundation (BRAF), a nonprofit organization founded by several of the Burning Man organizers and others with the purpose of promoting interactive artwork. Prior to the lecture, the public is invited to attend Burning Man 101, an informal workshop for people who are interested in learning more about various aspects of the event that draws over 30,000 participants to the Nevada desert each year.
"We are very excited to have Larry pay us a visit," said David Peterman, one of the Burning Man Regional Contacts for Seattle. "There is an extensive and diverse Burning Man community in the Seattle region, and for many people this will be the first opportunity for them to hear directly from the man who inadvertently started all of this 18 years ago. We are also using this as an opportunity to connect with people who are thinking about making their first trip to the event and present them with some valuable information through the Burning Man 101 program."
Tickets for the April 25 lecture will be $5, available at the CHAC beginning at 2:00 p.m. the day of the event. Burning Man 101 will take place from 5:00 p.m. until 7:15 p.m. at the Lower Level, beneath the CHAC, and is free. More information about both of these events can be found at http://burningmanseattle.com.
If you cant make it, but would still like to hear Larry Harvey speak, the speach will be broadcast on www.staticfactory.org starting at about 7:00 PST.
The Capitol Hill Arts Center and the Lower Level are both located at 1621 12th Ave in Seattle. For thirteen years, the Black Rock Desert outside of Reno, Nevada, has been home to the increasingly popular and influential Burning Man event. The annual art event, which began on a beach in San Francisco in 1986, has grown to attract more than 30,000 participants annually, from every state of the Union and twenty-two countries worldwide. Based on corporate accounting and participant survey data, the organization estimates that it contributes $10 million annually to Washoe County, including real estate taxes, vehicle and equipment rental, and the money that its participants spend on groceries, supplies and lodging on the way to and from the event. The organization also contributed over $600,000 in 2003 to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for land use of the area where the event is held.
