1. ἀνερρίφθω κύβος
So this is a story with oracles, bravery and a lot of gonads. I can imagine that the first thought when told this is a story involving oracle, bravery and gonads one might think of ancient Greece. A time when a messenger ran 42km to Athens dropping dead after revealing they'd won some battle or other. A time with dust and horses and spear wielding warriors.
In all honesty it could very well have been such a story. Maybe once upon a time it was but in this day and age, it isn't.
Today it's a story with not a durst trotting horse but a gravel spitting muscle car. The driver of said car isn't a warrior and specially not a spear wielding one. As a matter of fact nobody in his or her right mind would call him so but he's a good-hearted kind person, even though the kindness is deep down and not many people have ever gotten close enough to witness it. You see he's what you'd call a lone wolf. Sounds proper mysterious doesn't it?
Well that's kind of the point.
Odilon, though most call him Odi and others would mark him as odd, drives along the roads of the continent in perpetual search. What of he wasn't sure, though confident once he'd find it he'd know. Not the most breathtaking of reasons to be sure but some people don't need existential meta-thoughts they just get in their cars and drive.
Odilon was one of those people and by the time this story catches up with him he'd been on the road for a number of years. Leaving a trail only a few could track through the countries of the continent. We see him as he's driving away from a bright lite city. Odi is happy to leave the smog and noise or the overcrowded and crawling Rome. Seeing it grow smaller and finally disappear completely from his rearview mirror. He's made enough money to travel further and grasp at a string of news. A string he's about to follow all the way to Geneva.
Meanwhile off the beaten track of touristic Genéve, is a house. It's a simple innocuous house, with a wooden door sporting an engraved 8 in it's woodwork. Yet the house itself isn't really of importance it's the elevator inside that is. It goes all the way down to a maze of undisclosed vaults. In a small antechamber several severe looking men and women stood awaiting, awaiting their turn.
Before long the great door of the Grand Vault creaks open. Now if one knew where we where one would have expected a hooded robed figure to mystically drift forward, instead a butler like man in a crisp pressed suit with a collar starched to the high heavens stepped up. We are in the 21ste century after all.
"The Oracle will see you now, your Majesty." A slight bow of the head and an open hand leading the way accompanied this message.
An elderly woman dressed in fine clothes and velvet gloves walked through. The Grand Vault was just that, a vault what else would you expect in Genéve? This vault's floor plan is that of a octogram and every wall containing a heavy door. In the middle of the room stood two what would once have been referred to as priests yet were now obviously bodyguards. Between these two men in their dark blue suits stood a young man. This young man had his back turned to the entrance door, he was dressed in a long brilliantly white tunic matched with equally white and with loose fitting trousers. He stood serenely between his two 'priests' his shoulders relaxed and his air patient.
The women leaned into the butler-like man whispering into his ear.
"This is to guarantee total discretion from the Oracle ma'am. It is a means to ensure the prophecy is free of any outside influence." The butler-man explained.
After quite a long minute of silence this was curtly approved with, with a slight nod.
Another whisper followed.
"Yes, you may present your query via proxy yet the aid must be given personally or the prophecy would be invalid. We guarantee satisfaction, it is one of our most highly viewed watchwords." Again after due consideration this as well was met by a curt nod.
Another whisper and the butler-man removed himself from the woman's presence. He quietly walked over to the young man in white spoke to him in a low almost inaudible voice. The young man in white nodded once then slowly and methodically sank to his knees. The bodyguard in blue to his left presented him with a white blindfold, which he took and proceeded to cover his eyes. He opened his trousers, laid his flaccid penis out, rested his hands on his knees and waited. There was a certain reverence to his graceful movements, a ritualistic pentameter if you will.
The woman approached him noting the young man's feet though unshod were spotlessly clean. A small stool had materialized beside him and she sat down facing the entrance door. Loosening her right glove finger by finger she removed it and directed her stare at nothing at all before her. Leaning down she graciously grasped the flaccid penis is her hand and proceeded to slowly stoke it.
After a measurement of time the flaccid penis grew. It grew into a hard straight staff. The woman continued her aid with little emotion to her manner. The man leaned back grasping his ankles as his body started to slightly shake and shiver. The stroking quickened yet still she didn't spare him a glance. The minutes ticked by in this lockless room it was awhile yet before the young man's body trembled, his stomach jerked and his hands gripped his ankles so hard his knuckles whitened.
In a low rumble of a quiet roar he came, ejaculating onto the dark brown floor tiles he trembled on. As his convulsion subsided the women retracted her hand sanitized it and slipped on her glove while standing up stance behind the man facing away from him.
Catching his breath the man ripped the blindfold from his eyes reading the pattern of cum in front of him as it cooled. The swirls and ropes scattered on the tiles told him stories as if he read the entrails of a freshly slaughtered cock.
"New blood has fueled the lines of old with a new order over the horizon."
The woman's face didn't alter at the uttered words her gaze remained steadfast. The young mans eyes continued to dart across his freshly made pattern, he leaned in low and took a long sniff the breathe in the scent, images flashing in front of his eyes.
"Succession will skip a generation and one day you will receive your deepest wish and be with a woman."
The woman spun around is shock her string of pearls glinting in the light. "I say!"
Once the woman with the pearls had been lead away, the oracle's priests/body guards disappeared. The butler-man reappeared with a small bowl of warm water and a fresh cloth. He handed it to the Oracle still kneeling on the floor.
"There is one more after this one." he told the young man, his voice soft and empathic.
The Oracle sighed as he started to clean up his oracular matter. "You know four a day is stretching my abilities. Can't one of the others take over?"
"This one only wants an audience." The butler-man said his voice lowering in a more familiar sympathetic tone.
The oracle dropped the soiled cloth into the bowl and sat back frowning.
"An audience?"
"Well that's what he said, prepare yourself for an prophecy nonetheless."
The young man rubbed his eyes tiredly, "I'm getting too old for this Cosmas."
The butler man immediately lost his calm voice and soothing manner. "Don't talk like that Spyro! Talk like that could get you killed." He implored.
"Cosmas how many of us have you seen come and go in all the years you've been here? I know where I'm going to end up and I don't want it anymore than you do but what else is there? I'm tired Cosmas. Everyday I wake up with less energy than the last and it's been years since I've been able to handle more than four clients a day. I'm sure the order has taken notice of this already."
"There are medicines to help with that."
Spyro shook his head. "They muddle up the visions and if the high prelates knew I was taking stimuli I'd quietly vanish one night just like Milo."
This brought silence between the two, both knew the reality of their situation, it was the way of the world down here.
"We'll figure something out Spyro."
Spyro looked up at his life long friend, the older man sat hunched beside him. "Why would you help me Cosmas? Why?"
Spyro saw the man hesitate; his eyes made a plight of confession but quickly turned dull. "Cause you're an Oracle Spyro and you deserve to live." He straightened up and patted his suit expelling that non-exciting dust.
"You ready?"
Spyro lowered his head and nodded picking himself up from the floor. "Who's this client that wants an audience anyway?" Spiro wasn't always allowed to know much of anything about his clients but that didn't keep him from asking.
"Freiherr Hessestein."
"Hessestein?" Most of his clients were nobles or other such dignitaries however he'd never heard of a family Hessestein before. Spyro shrugged it off, in all honestly he wouldn't know a Freiherr from a Baron let alone the significant of their surnames.
"Apparently a minor German noble, no influence or great wealth to speak of but contacts enough to find us. That alone shows his provenance."
Spyro nodded but had stopped listening, he was tired and wanted to get this over with so he could rest. Drift off in dreams that showed him a life fare freer than this one. Though it would never be his own.
"Let him in." Spyro turned his back to the entrance door.
Cosmas laid a hand on his shoulder. "No need for that, it's a man and trust me you'll like this one even it is just for an audience."
Spiro turn around and scoffed at Cosmas's words. "I'll believe it when I see it."
Cosmas walked over to the entrance door and pushed a button. The two bodyguards in blue entered the vault through one of the other doors taking their place next to Spyro.
A few moments later Cosmas returned with a man shrouded his long robes, his had a full beard and wore a karakul hat. The man looked every bit the eccentric aristocrat, his eyes had a young touch to them.
The Freiherr's eyes scanned the room as if committing every detail to memory. He eyed the two body guards and turned to face Cosmas. Spyro had expected the Freiherr to whisper to Cosmas hiding their voices as many who visited him did. Cause even though the prophecy of an Oracle is always highly sought after, the act of doing so seemed to be steeped in displaced embarrassment. Spyro knew he wasn't viewed as a person by his clients, he was an object they used and the less 'contact' the better.
This gentleman did not whisper however his voice ran clear and deep through he vault.
"Are the bodybuilders necessary?" he asked in heavily accented English his German ancestry ringing through every syllable.
"I'm afraid so Freiherr." Cosmas head inclined respectfully.
"No disrespect to your colleagues but I'm a very private man."
"I assure you Freiherr we are the pillar of discretion. It's one of our most highly held watchwords."
The only responds Cosmas received was an icy stare backed with generations of men looking through it. Men that weren't used to hearing no and refused to acknowledge it until it turned into a yes. Cosmas's eyes flittered towards Spyro who nodded invisibly.
"There is a way for a one-on-one audience yet certain measures must be taken for that to happen."
The two bodyguards left Spyro's side; one walked to the wall on Spyro's left opening a hidden compartment and pulled out a shackle attached to a long chain. The other walked to the wall closest to the Freiherr, opening a similar compartment and retrieving an identical chained shackle.
Two chairs were brought in and placed opposite each other with some distance between them. Spyro took his seat and held out his left arm, to which the bodyguard shackled him. The Freiherr did the same although the chair was eyed with some skepticism.
Once both men were seated and sufficiently shackled the bodyguards left. Cosmas gestured towards a button next to the entrance door. "Call us when you're done Freiherr." He said and vanish through again another door.
Spyro took the subsequent silence to take a good look at the man sitting opposite him. Something wasn't quite right but he couldn't immediately put his finger on what that was. This was truly a unique situation for him. In all his years here an audience had only been requested a hand full of times. Every time without exception the audience had been followed up by a prophecy. A private audience such as this one was practically unheard of. Spiro was seldom left alone, only in this bed at night in his small cell of a room could he ever be by himself yet even then he never had complete access to his own body.
The Freiherr's eyes scanned the vault once again before settled them on Spyro.
"Will our conversation be listened to?" he asked.
"Not to my knowledge Freiherr." Spyro replied.
"No need for titles with me. In this room at least we should be equals."
"If you wish so sir." Equals indeed...
"What's your name? I assume you weren't born with the name Oracle." the aristocrat asked.
Spiro cracked a smile. What a strange question..."No, I wasn't but why do you want know?"
"Call it morbid curiosity, you can lie if want to. I wouldn't know it not to be true either way."
"You know that curiosity killed the cat?"
"Ah!" The Freiherr gleamed eyes sparkling "But satisfaction brought it back."
"You speak from personal experience?"
"In a way don't we all?" he shrugged his body language contradicting his tone and words.
Spiro grinned intrigued; this for once was going to be fun. "Spyro."
"Yes, you do have the Greek look to you. Do you have a surname?"
"Do you have a first?"
The aristocrate tried to suppress a grin. "Ah touché, I do of course but I'll keep that to myself for the time being."
"Your accent is slipping." Spyro remarked casually.
"Yes, it does that sometimes." The aristocrat conceded but didn't elaborate and Spyro didn't push it. They sat there opposite each other for a long moment of silence with only the clink in their chains on the brown tiled floor for sound.
Before the aristocrat spoke again, "How long do we have until your handler comes back?"
Spyro's brow furrowed at the terminology. "Until you push that button."
"They won't come in before then however long I'm here?" he questioned.
The aristocrat lifted his shackled arm. "What is this for?"
"Protection." Spyro simply said.
"From me?"
"Yes and myself." Spyro added or better said let slip before he could stop himself. The aristocrat's eyes narrowed for a split second before he rearranged his features more amicably.
"How long have you been with the order?"
"Since I was twelve." A ready answer, the last day he saw the sky.
"So you've been here for what? Twelve years?"
"More or less." It was nearing thirteen actually. Thirteen years of rooms without windows.
The aristocrate leaned forward, "Why do you stay here?"
"Why did you come here?" Spyro retorted unconsciously angling his own body forward.
"Could you leave if you wanted to?"
Spyro lifted his shackled wrist. "One day." One day he'd vanish from his room like those before him..
The aristocrat straightened his back again and Spyro mirrored his actions their little bubble stretching open again.
"Spyro." The aristocrat sang letting the name roll over his tongue, it sent a shiver down Spyro's spine. "Are you happy here?"
Spyro took his time before answering. It was a serious question and it warranted a serious answer. "Have you ever heard of the bromeliad?"
"The flower?"
"Yes, the flower. Some frogs use this flower as a nursery, they lay their eggs in the small bromeliad pools. The frog that grows and matures is this flower knows of nothing else outside it. They may remember some existence from before, they hear sounds and feel events around them but remain separated. Some even die before they ever leave the bromeliad."
The aristocrat waved his had around the room. "Is this your bromeliad?"
"Do I look like a toad?" Spyro asked pokerface in place.
The aristocrat blinked and laughed earthly in a young pleasant voice again something nibbled at Spyro's thoughts. "No, you most definitely don't look like a toad!" his laughter died down and his questions resumed. "Are you allowed to tell me how the mechanic of a prophecy works?"
Spyro cocked an eyebrow at this. "Wouldn't you rather have an actual demonstration?"
"No. I have no need to see my future or hear my fortune."
"Then why are you here?" Spyro asked confused once again.
"Please, indulge me."
Spyro thought he's already been indulging this man the while time. "Alright." He sighed, "If you would have come for a prophecy you'd have asked me a question. Then you'd have to aid me with my instrument."
Spyro tired to hide his smirk as he gestured to his crotch. "Ah." Was all the aristocrat added.
"Exactly. Once I've expelled my prophetical fluid I read it and relay what I see."
"How do you read it?"
"Images form my thoughts and words fill my mind." Spyro shrugged it wasn't something that could be described very accurately to an outsider or anyone for that matter.
"Is there any joy in for you?"
"No." Spyro immediately answered.
"Not ever?"
"Not for a very long time."
The aristocrat frowned unhappy with the given answer. "How does that work out for your private life? Do you find satisfaction elsewhere?"
Spyro smirked bitterly. "Private life? I'm an Oracle. I have no private life and until I am an Oracle no more satisfaction is out of my reach. Why are you asking me all these questions?"At this point the conversation had obviously hit a sore spot for Spyro. His indulgent disposition waining.
"Is there any way for you to stop being an Oracle?"
"There are."
"May I ask what they are?"
"You don't need me to tell you, surely a knowledgeable name such as yourself should know, and all you need is a history book."
"Tell me Spyro. Do you long for a life outside?"
Spyro grinned leaning forward as the aristocrat had done before created that illusion of intimacy while shackled to a chain. "Is the atomic weight of Cobalt 58.9?"
A blink and the aristocrat burst out in a heartily laugh, with this he stood up from his chair. "I should bid you goodnight before you handlers grow restless. You look like you could use some rest. I hope to meet you again some day." he smiled warmly
"Will you ever be wanting a prophecy?"
"Then there is little chance you'll see me again." It was matter of fact a certainty in Spyro's world.
"We shall just have to see about that shan't we?" The aristocrat made way to the entrance door.
"Can I ask you a question?" Spyro called from behind before he could push the call button.
"Nothing would please me more." The aristocrat turn with that easy smile he entered the Vault in.
"Why the deception? Why disguise yourself?"
A slight pause one of calculation more than anything else. "Protection."
"From me?" What a thought, I couldn't hurt a fly even if I wanted it.
"No." The aristocrat's smile vanished his tone and stature morphed into one of guarded seriousness. "To ensure yours."

Like when I first got interested in Punk, you would find all the punk records in the "Punk" section.

#Afghanistan takes off... First female #Afghan fighter pilot #NiloofarRahmani with her jet pic.twitter.com/0nJWfiD7yE — Javed Aziz Khan (@JavedAzizKhan)
April 29, 2015
This 23-year-old has the guts to overcome any obstacles. Niloofer Rahmani is the first female fixed-wing Air Force aviator in Afghanistan's history and the first female pilot in the Afghani military since the fall of the Taliban in 2001. She is also the recipient of the U.S. State Department's International Women of Courage Award for 2015.
Ever since Rahmani was a kid, she wanted to be a pilot. When she was 18 she learned that the Afghan Air Force wanted to recruit pilots, and saw the possibility of her dream coming true. Two years later, she was recruited in the Afghan Air Force Officer Training Program and in July 2012 Rahmani graduated as a second lieutenant.
Her passion has landed her in a lot of trouble – not only with her conservative relatives but the Taliban as well. The family had to move and relocate more than once and in 2013, threats from the terrorist organization forced her to move abroad for two months.
"You can't just see yourself as a woman, but as a human and believe in yourself," Rahmani told WTKR. "It was not easy finishing flight school, it was very hard, but someone had to accept the risk so that other women can do what they dream."
Check Out: This Is What Happened To The Afghan Woman Who Donned 'Iron Underwear' To Counter Street Harassment
Rahmani is only one of three Afghan women who have trained to become pilots since the 2001 invasion, and one of them has since quit the air force.
Though she is hopeful about more women joining the air force, she thinks it will probably take 20 to 30 years. "Now my goal is to help my country have a bright future and stand up for females. I helped break down the doors for them after me," Rahmani said in a story published on the website of the U.S. Air Forces Central Command.
Afghanistan, a conservative Muslim country, is one of the least women-friendly places in the world. According to U.N. special envoy to Afghanistan Jan Kubis, violence linked to culture is the main reason for a 20 percent rise in deaths and injuries of females in Afghanistan.
But that hasn't stopped its brave women from dreaming or making their dreams come true. Women like Azra Jafari, the first female mayor in Afghanistan, Colonel Jamila Bayaz, the country's first female district police chief and Fawzia Koofi, a member of the Afghan parliament, who one day wants to be elected the president of the country are the trailblazers who have paved way for the future generations of Afghan women.

text: Cash flow provided by operating activities was $0.2 million for the first nine months of 2010 compared to $2.0 million provided in the same period in 2009. The decrease in the 2010 period was primarily due to cash used to build working capital, excluding refundable income taxes, in 2010 compared to cash generated from working capital reductions in 2009, partially offset by the receipt of a federal income tax refund of $6.6 million in the first quarter of 2010 and a reduced cash net loss as compared to the prior year period. The Company had cash of $3.7 million at October 2, 2010 and neither bank borrowings during the first nine months of 2010 nor outstanding loan balance at October 2, 2010.Commenting on these results, Ronald H. Butler, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said "We believe the restructuring and cost containment actions implemented starting in 2008 have had a positive impact on the results for the first nine months of 2010 and helped reduce the effects of the economic downturn." He added, "The fourth quarter of 2010 appears to be a continuation of the challenging economic environment for consumers. We continue to believe that when the furniture market improves, the Company is well positioned to return to profitability." Chromcraft Revington™ businesses design residential and commercial furniture marketed throughout North America. The Company wholesales its residential furniture products under Chromcraft®, Cochrane™, Peters-Revington™, Southern Living®, and CR Kids & Beyond™ as primary brand names. It sells commercial furniture under the Chromcraft® brand name.

It seems a new trend in pornography and anal sex has entered the cultural lexicon: rosebudding. And although the term may seem pleasant and resplendid of floral sensation, according to one porn star, Sheena Shaw it has more to do with the primal and visceral and of course literally having ones insides flipped out of their rear end during the act of anal sex.
Anal sex. How it suddenly became the grim reaper that women are now forced to exact at the mercy of leery men
Anal Sex; Why women are now doing it more often?
Tells the 29 year porn actress via vice: "It smells like blood. And it tastes like raw flesh. It's not something you've ever been exposed to. But it strikes a chord somewhere deep inside."
Adds vice in indelible language that might send a shiver up your spine (and probably deep up your backside, literally): The sexual act that Shaw specializes in is, in fact, caused by an anal prolapse—a medical condition in which the inner walls of your rectum collapse and slip out of your butthole, the bright red internal tissue blooming out of your anus like a desert rose.
What though separates this explicit sex act from other fetishes is how rosebudding is making its way from the marginal, sado masochistic to that of the mainstream.
Reiterates vice: What used to be taboo is now a staple, and the public is taking notice. On a thread titled "Increased Visibility of Anal Prolapse: Reasons?" from September 2013 on the online forum Adult DVD Talk, a user commented: "Anal prolapsing: at one time it was reserved… for girls who had performed one too many double anal scenes (Ava Devine, Amy Brooke: we're looking at you). Now, we're seeing much more of it on screen, even from performers who are fairly new to the industry."
But in the event you may think rosebudding is just a vile passing fascination amongst a hardcore set, think again, some have come to reason that rosebudding has always been there except for the fact 'anal performers just hid their prolapses off camera in the past and that they are now only showing it on screen because it has become acceptable and there is a growing market for it.'
From there we come to learn about the assortment of adult entertainment outlets, like Evil Angel for instance who have come to introduce the sex act in 'top quality extreme anal films with a cache of high profile performing stars,' ensuring to some degree that the sex act is normalized and perpetuated by you the game viewer.
Which leads to the interesting question how did an intrusive sex act come to become a staple within some quarters of the porn industry? In short- the internet.
In a bid to differentiate themselves from the 'free pedestrian anal films', porn companies have set about offering you the viewer holier than thou experiences that will make you want to take your wallet out and viscerally react, seeing that some of you have already seen it all before.
Similarly rosebudding also offers a handful of porn actors a way to differentiate themselves and command a certain niche and book constant work.
And how does rosebudding actually work? Here's where I would advice caution to the reader with virgin ears:
It requires repeated and prolonged scenes of taking massive objects up your ass until your rectal walls are so loose, you can just push them out of your anus. Sheena describes the feeling as similar to having a baby—only a few girls can just "plop it right out." Most have to start preparing for the anal feat the night before, sleeping with butt plugs in to stretch out their assholes. They also train themselves to have powerful abdominal control, relaxing their sphincters and pelvic-floor muscles while simultaneously contracting their abdominal muscles. "I wish it hurt still, but it doesn't," she laughs.
The measure we are told comes with certain risks, including incontinence, bleeding, leakage, and infection are common side effects which may require rectal surgery, warnings it seems that few porn actresses are necessarily willing to adhere to. But then again that might come with the territory of being an abject sex object that the porn industry resoundedly reminds us women 'naturally are' (sarcasm).
And should a porn star be met with strife it seems she is pretty much on her own as few safety nets exist as the porn industry simply discards the actress and moves on to the next willing participant in search of a porno gig. The same way you the leery male may choose to discard a female, which is not to suggest there may be some women who are game for such experiences but one wonders to what degree such explicit and physically threatening type of sex is really at the behest of a woman and that of men trying to find new clever ways to subordinate women and get their rocks off ….?
And then there was this consideration via the dailydot which made me wonder:
But it's unclear to me if the Internet has made our sexual predilections more violent or aggressive, or if the Internet is simply enslaved to our own sexual predilections, which were already, somewhere deep down, violent and aggressive to begin with. Are extreme porn producers who shoot rosebud scenes to be blamed for disregarding the welfare of their performers and making sex seem like something that has to hurt to be good, or are they simply catering to a deep and dark need within us to see these women get hurt in this specific way in the first place?

Red Blood Divine, Project formed by Mynationshit and Sentionaut which is influenced by horror movies .They definitely love directors such as Dario Argento ,John Carpenter,Wes Craven, Mario Bava and of course their hypnotist aesthetics and sinister atmospheres.
COÀGUL is the muzak project of the visual artist Marc O'Callaghan (Barcelona, 1988). Its main function is to concentrate the energy of certain cosmic principles in the physical spot where its sound is performed or reproduced...
...Amidst the Montes de Maceira (Torres Vedras, Portugal), where the land meets the sea, in the year 2014 a Lusitanian tribe was born, children of the land and the sea, whose name is Falcata de Fogo. This is a project that aims to honour and dignify his ancestors through the ancient ritualistic and melodic sounds....
Waste is set up as GH Records´s electronic music sublabel which wants to release gloomy and emotive stuff and besides to look for new artists and well-know also.
In the year 2008 the documentary called "Psicofonías: Las Voces Desconocidas" was shot by the film director Jose Moral. This was about the voices of dead people where echoes of spirits leave us some footprint after death. Humankind has believed during a long time that it is possible to communicate with dead people.
Over the years , seances, mediums and psychics have been possible instruments to make contact with the afterlife. So, EVP is an espiritual footprint and a communication link to the soundtrack in this documentary.
This one relies on some of the most important projects of the Dark Ambient Industrial music: In Slaughter Natives, which is a pioneer in the symphonic industrial field and part of the legendary label Cold Meat Industry. This music project is formed by Jouni Havukainen who carries out an outstanding and deep work full of aspects where in some parts we can listen the voices of dead people.

I wish to relocate the options above in the title. I'm not decided on exactly where yet but i was wondering if someone could give me a brief explanation on the matter. Such as which templates i'd need to edit and how. It does not have to be a huge explanation. I was also considering giving its own navbar with the exact function that the current navbar shows when you are on the tab that is selected.
Thank you so much for reading, and possibly answering in advance,

|[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-2309) Fully decouple IndexWriter from analyzers
|Thu, 11 Mar 2010 19:20:27 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2309?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12844177#action_12844177 ] Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-2309: -------------------------------------------- bq. Would this mean that after that we can move all of core Analyzers to contrib/analyzers Yes, though, I think that's orthogonal (can and should be separately done, anyway). bq. making one step towards getting them completely out of Lucene and into their own Apache project? We may simply "standardize" on contrib/analyzers as the one place, instead of a new [sub-]project. To be discussed... but we really do need one place. bq. That way, we can keep in core only the AttributeSource and accompanying classes, and really allow people to pass AttributeSource which is not even an Analyzer (like you said). We can move the specific Analyzer tests to contrib/analyzers as well. The other tests in core, who don't care about analysis, can use a src/test specific AttributeSource, like TestAttributeSourceImpl ... Right. bq. I'm thinking - it's ok for contrib to depend on core but not the other way around. I agree. bq. It will however take out of core a useful feature for new users which allows fast bootstrap. Well.. I suspect with this change users would not typically use lucene-core alone. Ie, they'd get analyzers and queryparser (if we also move it out as its own module). bq. That won't be the case when analyzers move out of Lucene entirely, but while they are in Lucene, we'll force everyone to download contrib/analyzers as well. I think a single source for all analyzers will be a great step forwards for users. bq. So maybe we keep in core only Standard, or maybe even something simpler, again, for easy bootstrapping (like Whitespace + lowercase). Or remove them entirely (but, then, core tests will need to use contrib analyzers for their testing)... > Fully decouple IndexWriter from analyzers > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-2309 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2309 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Index > Reporter: Michael McCandless > > IndexWriter only needs an AttributeSource to do indexing. > Yet, today, it interacts with Field instances, holds a private > analyzers, invokes analyzer.reusableTokenStream, has to deal with a > wide variety (it's not analyzed; it is analyzed but it's a Reader, > String; it's pre-analyzed). > I'd like to have IW only interact with attr sources that already > arrived with the fields.

Someone told me that I could lowkey pull girls. I ask that person and she wouldn't tell me what she meant by that. I'm really shy with girls, especially approaching, so I'm confuse when she said that. She told me this when I met her at the bar that night. One of my friends called her over and told her that I thought she was attractive. And we had a conversation over my shyness, and how to get out of my comfort zone with speaking to a woman. And that's when she said "I could lowkey pull girls". I got her number, but I haven't text her in a week. I'm new to talking to girls, even at the college I attend. I have never pay attention to any of the girls at my school, because how nervous I get if they give me eye contact. I know this is not normal especially at the age of being 22.

Hmm, lets see... www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Pulling
English word that means to hook up with someone or make out with them, often at a party or nightclub. Tongues are often involved. You can also be 'on the pull', which means to seek out or pursue someone with whom you want to get off with (often a complete stranger).
Katie went to Jamie's party on the pull, where she met Dean and fulfilled her aim of getting off with someone she didn't know.
"I saw you pulling Dean last night, you slut. He's my boyfriend."00|00|0
low key
to keep something low key: to not announce it; to have a quiet gathering; opposite of a large party or big group of people; not much emphasis, closely aligned with a normal night out doing the usual stuff.
im going out tonight but it's pretty low key; i've gotta work tomorrow so tonight's going to be a low key event.
So you could be alone and hook up with a girl who you dont even know?

A Miniature Watercolor Painting
This is another ACEO, which stands for "Art Cards, Editions and Originals". ACEOs are 2.5" x 3.5" pieces, the same size as baseball cards, and they are a very popular size with art collectors. They make great gifts and are perfect for office art and desktop art. Some people display them in clear plastic covers or in albums. I prefer to mat them to fit into little 5" x 7" gold frames.

Individual Services
Psychotherapy: At the core of each patient's work at Riggs is intensive psychodynamic psychotherapy with a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist on staff. Patients and therapists meet four times a week (with the exception of holidays, vacations or illnesses), working together to understand the meanings of symptoms and the sources of suffering in the context of the patient's life. The unfolding of this process is unique to each individual and usually includes exploring personal history, reflecting on present day experiences (including what happens in the therapy relationship itself), and considering the person's aspirations and goals.
Psychopharmacology: Many patients entering Riggs have been labeled "treatment-resistant," having tried numerous medications that offer little relief. While modern psychopharmacologic intervention is a key part of the treatment program, our unique approach to medication management, called "psychodynamic psychopharmacology," attends to the meaning of medications and relies on the patient to be an active participant in assessing the effectiveness of medications. Specialized psychopharmacologic consultation is provided as needed.
Social Work Services: Family members can often contribute to a more successful treatment in several important ways. With the patient's permission, family members provide a detailed history, helping to locate the patient's central difficulties in a social context. Sometimes families participate in periodic family meetings or family therapy in order to support the patient's work. A clinical social worker can also serve as liaison between the treatment team and family members. In addition, social workers are available to assist patients with discharge planning and to support their efforts to find their way in the world outside of Riggs.
Nursing: Nursing staff is available around the clock, participating in formal and informal ways in the milieu and providing a wide range of services as needed. Every patient has an individual nursing care coordinator with whom they can regularly meet one on one for support and individualized guidance in navigating the therapeutic community and system of care.
Psychological Testing: Psychological testing during the initial six-week evaluation and treatment period provides an in-depth assessment and formulation of complex psychological problems and individual strengths, and is used to inform the treatment. Testing is aimed at understanding a person's central conflicts, characteristic ways of managing emotions and relationships, and cognitive strengths and weaknesses. Patients who stay a year or more may be re-tested, focusing on evidence of change. We also offer neuropsychological assessment as needed and integrate it into our understanding and treatment of the patient.
Substance Abuse Services: Because of the difficulty of engaging in serious self-examination in the presence of active substance abuse, we ask that patients achieve abstinence prior to admission. However, many people who come here have struggled with addictions in the past. Our substance abuse services support the community's commitment to maintaining an environment free from the adverse influence of alcohol and other drugs. Counselors provide an initial assessment, individual support, educational offerings and a weekly group. They also help people connect to self-help groups in the community, including Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon. When needed, counselors can provide information about programs and facilities that offer specialized substance abuse treatment not available at Riggs.
Medical Services: Every patient receives a full physical exam on admission and the medical office staff, including registered nurses and a consultant in internal medicine, are available to address physical illnesses that may arise during treatment. When appropriate, patients are referred for consultations with other off-site medical specialists.
Health and Wellness Program
The Health and Wellness Program at the Austen Riggs Center offers patients an opportunity to enhance their overall health and wellbeing through a range of offerings that include
- support in developing personal health goals;
- health education;
- healthy food options developed by patients and staff;
- mindfulness and mind-body practices instruction (yoga, yoga nidra/mindfulness meditation, Qigong, slow breathing techniques);
- personal training;
- exercise classes;
- daily walks; and
- nutrition education and counseling (initial nutrition assessment upon admission and the opportunity for regular nutrition appointments thereafter).
In this program, patients can explore a variety of practices designed to improve self-care and the capacity to cope with stress. Patients are encouraged to experiment with a range of approaches and can receive ongoing guidance to strengthen their ability to meet their personal health goals.

If you have seen the TV commercials featuring energetic Jack with his muscles and charisma despite getting on for 100 years old, you have seen Jacks Power Juicer. Or is it the Jack LaLane Power Juicer? Now you're confused, but you have come online to find out which one it is. Well, folks, here I am to tell you that it is actually Jack LaLanne. But, this guy is so crazy healthy, and so keen on getting the world healthy and fit that I reckon he would be happy to have you think he was called Jack LaLane just so that you stick around long enough to listen to what he has to say about his power juicer. And what IS the deal with his power juicer, anyway?
What's the deal with Jack LaLane Power Juicer?
Jack LaLanne had the power juicer invented up and distributed nationwide because he could see that people were not eating well. He is is a big advocate of exercise, and he works out for two hours a day even at the age of 96, but he still points out that you can exercise all you want but if you don't eat right, you will still have trouble getting fat off. And you won't feel well. Cos you can be skinny as anything but still be unhealthy. Look at a smoker for instance, they might eat a lot of fatty and sugary foods but stay skinny, but that's because the smoking causes bad health and a lot of the foods they eat won't be absorbed properly and taken up by the cells where the nourishment and nutrition is needed. But even the smoker needs to start somewhere if they want to improve their life and quit smoking, and I guess this is another way where the LaLane juicer comes in. Juice is a very quick way to absorb nutrients that are necessary for the body. Juice has the nutrients and vitamins and other healthy substances that make up food and they are ready to be absorbed by the body as soon as they start going down inside your tummy! So if you want to start with health somewhere and you don't know where to start, Jack LaLanne's great home juicer machine will help you do that.
Benefits of the Jack LaLane juicer over other juicers please?
Well, the LaLane juicer is is great juicer. It's a centrifugal juicer, so it's not something that will do the tougher juicing ingredients like sprouts or wheatgrass (at a pinch it will squeeze something out, but not as much as for instance the Angel Juicer will get out of it, so a lot of people won't put it into Jacks Juicer because it will waste a fair bit in the pulp). And centrifugal juicers are known for being really fast. Way faster than a masticating juicer. OK, so masticating juicers are better in some respects, they will make jucie that keeps longer and contains more of the nutrition of the fruits and vegetables. Because the masticating juicer won't create any heat, wheras the centrifugal juicer will create some heat. But ultimately, any juice is better than no juice, and some people just can't stand waiting for their juice longer than they have to so they go straight for the centrifugal juicer, and I don't condemn that. The Jack LaLane power juicer is very fast, faster than a lot of the centrifugal juicers out there. And yet, it's no expensive comparitively. That's because they have a large output, they sell a lot of these machines. So if you are looking for something which is tested by a lot of customers, you can see that Jacks Juicer would be a good bet. It's not some random company from the backwater of Asia that is going to go bust tomorrow because they make dodgy juicers, know what I mean.
Tell me how I can get started with better health using a Jack LaLane juicer…
Well here at Daily Juicer I most often recommend a simple juice recipe to get you started and it's by no means the best recipe in the world but I find that most eople can start here because it's simple, it's fast, and all the ingredients are readily available. Plus, you can put less or more of something if youdont' have it all, and it's still good. You can also add other stuff, I will mention that last.
- 1 bunch of celery
- 1 pound or 1 bag carrots
- 1-2 green peppers (capsicum – not chilli!)
- 1 inch of ginger root, peeled
- 3 apples
You can also add beets (beetroot), cucumber, watermelon, pear… a lot of things will go easily innto this mix and it will taste good.
I just chop them all up to the size of your juicer chute, and poke 'em down! Best thing about this juicer recipe is that it's so forgiving.
It will taste a little salty if it is the first time you have tried celery juice in a mix, because celery juice actually contains a lot of the essential salts that the body and blood needs. So don't shy away from it, but if it looks a little green to you the first few times then drink it from a straw. The way you curl your tongue when you drink from a straw causes you to taste more of the sweetness of a drink, so this can work well if you are nervous about it or if you are giving the juice drink to your kids – they will love it even more if you get bendy straws (there is kid magic in bendy straws some how!)….

Uproarious scenes were witnessed in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly on Wednesday over a resolution seeking clemency for Afzal Guru, who was convicted of conspiracy in connection with the December 2001 attack on Parliament.
A resolution seeking clemency for Guru was submitted by Engineer Rashid, an independent MLA in the 87-member state Legislative Assembly.
As soon as the House convened, Opposition MLAs, primarily from the Jammu region, stormed into the Well of the House demanding that the resolution should not be tabled and taken up for discussion.
Opposition MLAs hold view that the Assembly has no power to discuss the verdict by the Supreme Court of the country.
Guru was awarded death sentence by a court in 2002 after being convicted on charges of conspiracy to attack the Parliament, waging war against the country and murder.
The Delhi High Court upheld the death sentence in 2003 and his appeal was further rejected by the Supreme Court two years later.
Following this, Afzal Guru filed a mercy petition with the President, who forwarded it to the Home Ministry for its comments.
A group of gun-and grenade-wielding militants had stormed the Parliament premises in December 2001, but were stopped by security personnel.
The attack led to the death of a dozen people, including six policemen, a civilian and five militants of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT).

|Reviews for Like A Hurricane
| ananova chapter 7 . 12/1/2013
Very nice, makes a good prelude to your series. Can't wait to see Kensi's reaction to him being her new partner.
| deeksfanstl chapter 7 . 7/19/2012
Great story.
| Musette12 chapter 7 . 7/31/2011
Still the original and best!
| Rinne chapter 7 . 7/30/2011
So, I saw a review over on krazykitkat's story "Nothing More" saying that the themes and premise is very similar to this one. Having now read your story as well, I really don't see it, particularly as krazykitkat had already used similar themes to the themes she used in "Nothing More" before in stories posted before yours was posted (including the fact that Kensi had gone to a nightclub when having emotional issues).
Seeing as Kensi and Deeks don't have sex or dance in a nightclub together (only Kensi goes to a night club) in krazykitkat's story, the similarities aren't there.
To summarise: the themes in Maxie Kay's (yours) story are that there is an attraction between Kensi and Deeks (and neither of them are subtle about it), so Kensi and Deeks end up having sex in a night club after having gone there separately and then saying it means nothing.
In krazykitkat's story, Kensi and Deeks have been on an operation, both have gotten physically aroused, and trying to ignore that Kensi goes to a nightclub to dance and clear her head, and then has sex with a nice stranger. The following day Deeks tries to talk to her about what happened on the operation when he got aroused and she shuts him down.
Wow - that's a lot of similarities! Not.
I'm posting this here so that if any more of your fans-as one has already decided to do-decide that they think that there are 'similarities' between the two stories, there is a rebuttal. The use of night clubs or sex are not copyrighted ideas.
| melkatt chapter 7 . 5/9/2011
I really, really liked this story. Hoping you will add another installment of the Deeks/Kensi universe, and maybe each will realize what they've walked away from, and then . . . .?
| Dot-A-Poke chapter 7 . 5/9/2011
Oh boy! I can only imagine what Kensi's face would have been the next day when he walked in...(insert possible idea for a one shot)
| melkatt chapter 6 . 5/8/2011
By all means, continue!
| Steph chapter 6 . 5/8/2011
Love it, more! :D
| Jewels chapter 6 . 5/8/2011
Love it!
| Momsa chapter 5 . 5/8/2011
Still liking it, please continue :)
| tdolphins27 chapter 6 . 5/8/2011
I can't wait to see where this goes. I love Kensi and Seeks. They could be really hot together
| francesmiller chapter 5 . 5/8/2011
I am loving this story as well as I love all of your other stories! Great job!
| Amanda0502 chapter 4 . 5/8/2011
I've read all of your other stories, so when I saw this I knew I had to read it! I love it. I like how you switch between different points of view. Keep on writing! Can't wait for next chapter!

abundance is what grows wild and free
I wanted flowers to fill the empty vase on the counter. This felt especially important since my move from a small, updated guest room to the back cottage. The space feels empty and impersonal, furnished with a few old, mismatched pieces. Hooks and nails jut from the wall wear past inhabitants might have hung a painting or a framed photograph -- but I had none of these to add. My first day, I opened all the cabinets to take stock of what was available and what I might need. In one of them was that vase, which I pulled out and set on the counter. I would find flowers.
The green grocer I sometimes visit sells bouquets, and there are stands I've seen with buckets of flowers for sale. But I live in a literal garden. Surely I could cut something from what's already here? Tom is the gardener, and a self-appointed Swahili coach. I approached him as he re-potted a red stalky thing and bumbled through our typical greetings. Then I asked, can I cut flowers to fill my vase? He laughed, not understanding at first why I was asking. I told him I didn't want to ruin any of the plants or cut at something I shouldn't take.
He laughed again. They are all wild, he said. You take what you want. To him, I realized, nobody owns what grows freely. His job is only to cultivate what's here.
I went for my scissors and the vase, looking around for something that would fit. Only a few cuts and it was filled with green leaves and a few purple flowers. I once thought abundance meant knowing I could spend money on things like flowers, and perhaps that lesson is an important one to understanding the concept. You can buy and not be afraid. And yet now, having been invited to find all that I needed from what's around me, for free, and so simply, I realized there's more to abundance than buying. There's also recognizing what you have around you and seeing that it's more than enough.

A schizophrenic mother who stabbed her three-year-old daughter to death before dousing her body in acid in Birmingham must stay in a secure psychiatric hospital for the public's protection, a judge has ruled.
Iman Omar Yousef, 25, was sentenced by Mr Justice Flaux after a jury ruled she unlawfully killed Alia Ahmed Jama at their home in Erdington.
Yousef, an asylum seeker from Somalia, was initially charged with Alia's murder but after psychiatric assessment she was ruled unfit to plead to the charge and jurors at Birmingham Crown Court were instructed to consider whether she committed the act of unlawfully killing her daughter.
The child's body was discovered by police officers who forced entry to Yousef's home in Milverton Road on February 13.
The court heard the child had been stabbed repeatedly and acid had corroded her skin, bones and internal organs.

Plenty with chances but DIXIE'S DREAM makes appeal to give the relentless Hannon yard another success. A consistent juvenile, he shaped nicely on his comeback run when fourth of 13 on the polytrack behind Famous Poet. That was a really good sharpener and he can reap the benefit here returning to turf with Ryan Moore aboard. Alkadi is a potent danger though as this looks to be her optimum trip and ground. She has gone really well on both turf starts in Scotland and there should be more to come after just the four runs for Mark Johnston. Fourth Of June went better than the finishing positions suggest behind Rewarded at Newmarket and should appreciate the drop back in trip, whilst Fabled City showed some juvenile promise and should come on now sent handicapping.

Nulogy Joins Digital Manufacturing and Design Innovation Institute (DMDII) to Drive Digital Manufacturing Movement
Nulogy partners with DMDII to provide industry expertise to usher in the new digital revolution in manufacturing
TORONTO, Ontario – June 8, 2016 – Nulogy, the leading provider of cloud-based solutions for the contract packaging industry, announced today it has partnered with the Digital Manufacturing and Design Innovation Institute (DMDII) in order to drive digital standards that make manufacturers more efficient and competitive.
Nulogy has partnered with DMDII to share its expertise on developing standards for tools and solutions that will digitalize the U.S. manufacturing sector. Nulogy will be leveraging over a decade of experience in building best-in-class technology used in the supply chains of Fortune 500 brands, spanning food & beverage, consumer goods, life sciences, and high tech industries.
"Nulogy and DMDII share similar goals of providing US factories and their network of suppliers with the tools and expertise they need to build things more efficiently and cost-effectively," said Jason Tham, CEO at Nulogy. "We hope that our participation in building these standards for digitalizing manufacturing will benefit not only our customers, but also the entire supply chain. We aim to work with DMDII to pave a path for end-to-end supply chain visibility, traceability and shortened delivery times, which will improve efficiency and quality for everyone involved in the creation and distribution of products, from design to delivery.
"DMDII is transforming American Manufacturing by building a digital thread from end to end of the manufacturing process," states Jason Harris, Director of Corporate Marketing at DMDII. "Leading companies, academics, entrepreneurs are collaborating to define problem statements, demonstrate technology solutions, and ultimately bring to the commercial market."
Harris continues, "Nulogy brings a great dimension to DMDII in two ways. First, they offer the perspective of a supply / logistics solution, which many of our members are seeking as part of their total Digital Manufacturing strategy. Secondly, they offer an entrepreneurial spirit, which contributes to the overall ecosystem we are building across our consortia and pushes us to move quicker."
Eighty-one percent of U.S. manufacturers acknowledge that digital manufacturing is a key element in their future competitiveness, but only 14 percent say they are adequately equipped today with digital technologies and related expertise. DMDII and its partners work to create the tools and technologies to fill this gap and solve today's most pressing manufacturing challenges.

Bern Identity, who will make his 3-year-old debut in Saturday's
$400,000 Holy Bull (G3) at Gulfstream Park, is generally regarded as the
biggest danger to undefeated Shanghai Bobby, the 4-5 morning-line
The 3-year-old son of Bernstein, who is owned by Lori and George
Hall, is a graded-stakes winner with purse earnings of $616,000 from six
starts. Rated second in the morning line at 4-1, Bern Identity faced
Shanghai Bobby once last year, finishing third in the Hopeful (G2) at
Saratoga under jockey Ramon Dominguez, beaten 4 ½ lengths by the
victorious Todd Pletcher-trained champion.
"It was the first time Ramon had ridden the horse, and he might not
have been as familiar with him as much as we might have liked. Ramon
came back and gave us some real input," trainer Kelly Breen said. "The
next time out, Ramon wasn't able to ride us, but he gave us a couple of
things we've learned about the horse. We took some of his constructive
criticism and it's helped us."
Bern Identity, who had previously captured the Sanford (G2) at
Saratoga, followed up his solid Hopeful performance with a sharp
three-length victory under Paco Lopez in the $200,000 Jean Lafitte
Stakes at Delta Downs six weeks later. The Kentucky-bred colt was
favored to win the $1 million Delta Jackpot (G3) in November, only to
encounter a tough trip around the six-furlong 'bullring.' Stopped and
shuffled back to last, Bern Identity made an impressive six-wide move
around the tight final turn and closed to finish second behind
"He got stopped a couple times and was probably last with
three-sixteenths of a mile left and still finished second," said Breen,
who purchased Bern Identity for the Halls at the 2011 Keeneland
September sale for $75,000. "He's a hearty horse. When he got bumped
around during some races, he's always coming at the finish."
Bern Identity received a favorable No. 4 post-position draw for the 1
1/16-mile Holy Bull, which attracted a strong field of 10 3-year-olds.
"I was a little bit shocked that we got as many as we did. I thought
it was going to have a field of seven or eight and I didn't think (post
position) was going to be that important," Breen said. "We're not
necessarily a horse that needs to be on the lead. He has enough tactical
speed to be wherever Paco wants him to be."
