Our team consists o f 4 magi:
An expert 65 yo lady from Britain. She is a master of Chaos, Kabalah and Wicca
A spunky 43 yo from Hongkong familiar with Summerian and Faust
A Jewish expert in Kaballah. Only 29 yo
A 45 yo Filipino master of reiki, Quantum touch and Chaos
Conducted by masters of manifestation and blending traditional chaos magick with modern radionics, the operation involves the creation of tangible energy fields around the client for specific purposes. The action commences in 24 to 48 hours and will run for 6 months. The energy fields include the following:
God's Hammer is ideal for those sudden "Uh Oh" moments when a burst of intelligent energy is required to move things to a certain outcome. The spell works on any abrupt desire needed.
How Does It Work?
Unlike the other spells on this site, God's Hammer is directed by the owner of the spell at the start of 77 hours prior to when he or she wants an outcome to happen.
You will send us your photo. We will cast your lifetime God's Hammer spell for you
You will receive a unique power sigil integrated with your photo
There is no need to inform us what wish you have in mind.
Now wait whenever you have a pressing or urgent need.
Assume that you have a specfic need that must happen on Sunday.
Get your sigil 77hours before Sunday midnight
Place one sigil in front of you, and one behind.
Place a drawing or object symbolizing your desire on the sigil
Close your eyes and meditate on your desire as though it were already happening and you are enjoying the outcome. Do this for 33 minutes. Vital!
The magick will flood from the sigils, into your primary chakras and flood in huge volumes into the future. You will experience mild to intense vibrations as the initial wave of energy lashes out in the first 33 minutes.
Synchroncities will shift to bring your desire or an approximate of your desire within 77 hours.
The sigil is reusable after every cast. Do not use it for multiple spells during the 77 hours it is targetting a specific need or you will short circuit yourself.
Zone like states of manifestation
Quadrupled energy output given the baseline of your device
rapid manifestation
protection especially when casting negative operations
activated higher chakras. True- the focus of the device is on the machine and your place of casting, but you will indirectly benefit.
This works only on devices and objects used for casting. Ultra Psionic Amplifier can be applied on any energy tool, psionic or otherwise. Applying this to a knife, to a limited extent, can transform it into a casting object since it will have tendrils to power spots. If you want a spell solely on your mental prowess, try Manifestation Master.
Full list of power spots and instructions included.
Activation ritual required only once.
UnReal Sales- Are you in the business of selling online via websites or ebay? Or perhaps you run a physical establishment. This spell is hellbent on driving a torrent to bottomline revenues to your pocket. Simply place an overlay of the powerful talisman on the webpage you want to draw rabid buyers then sitback. What the spell does is to incite impulse buying, eradicate buyer's remorse, inspire repeat purchase and inflame a great deal of free referrals! This spell only for those in actual sales, preferably over websites, auctions or in physical stores.
Instant ESP L1- Wondered what it would be like to read thoughts or project them into the minds of others? Ever fancied the thought of astral projection. What about lucid dreaming? Crave a rabidly boosted sense of intuition, that people would think you have spider sense? Level One Instant ESP is a special manifestation utilizing chaos magick, two servitors, a special sigil and a very unique soundwave which grants telepathy, astral projection, intuition boost and lucid dreaming in 30 days or less. Merely follow the very short activation rituals and you'll feel and act like a mind master in no time. With a full 180 day satisfaction guarantee.
Bind You To Me- Do your words have no impact on people? Now whatever you say, will have a hypnotically mesmerizing effect, particularly when you give them a choice. Watch as you magically influence children, strangers, spouses and decision makers with utter ease. Includes action scripts to be used when you want to unleash the power. Perhaps the most useful spell onsite.
Regain Lost Love- Normal love spells like Charm do not work on loves that have been lost due to boredom, betrayal or the entrance of a new party. For the purposes of revitalizing lost love, this special spell is required to bring the magic back. It may take longer than normal love spells, but when your partner returns, it will be with a sizzling passion- that she or he may stalk you. The downside is that it is a coercive spell, and if her mind is strong, she can bounce the energy, making you 3X as obsessed! Dangerous and volatile; be warned of possible consequences.
Confuse The Aggressor. Are entities or people giving you a hard time?. Now you can throw them off balance. With Confuse the Aggressor, you can select an antagonist at will and send waves of energy that take effect within a few hours. The net result is that they'll feel so destabilized (and unlucky thereafter), that they may totally forget about bothering you in the future. Or they may associate their misfortune with picking on you.
Grow the Empire- Recession got you down? Don't sweat it. With a bit of magick, we can drive in more paying clients through your door (the same way we drive them through ours)... and keep them coming until you reach your dreams! This is a highly specialized and potent Wealth Spell for entrepreneurs and businessmen. It is not for the employed.
Glamour The Boss. - It doesn't matter what gender your boss is; the spell powerfully makes the boss perceive you in a whole new light. You'll be the model employee in his eyes, and his right hand man. With the special instructions included, you can grab your next promotion (or take his place). But be warned that too much tweaking of the spell can cause him to perceive you a threat to his position. A volatile and telepathic spell.
The Perfect Job- Qualified or not, you will get the dream job you've been aspiring for. Verified in five instances to bring in the goods!
Seize Wealth- an energy field of abundance expands around the client to attract financial opportunities and greatly increase his or her propensity to earn money, decrease debt, and forge networks that fatten the wallet. It comes with an extra ritual that you can cast every Sunday after the main spells are conducted to amplify the effect. An added bonus is a power chant that you can whisper each time you need potent wealth opportunities.
Repulse Negativity- an iron clad field of protection cascades around the client to cause all negativity (anger, envy, hexes, black manifestation, charms) to slide off and bounce back to the sender.
Golden Aura- a sweeping field of positive energy draws others to the client, making his speeches and actions glow with credibility. Great for salesmen and leaders.
Ultimate Charm- Watch the opposite sex fall for your charms as you open conversations at the bar or the bookstore. This is the Golden Aura with a sensual twist!
Unbeatable- For competitive fighters only, this operations enhances your auric shields for resistance against damage from blows while boosting endurance, strength and attack reflex. You will find your senses dilating in a fight, able to better sense movements of the enemy, anticipate them and attack with ferocity. Your palms will also throb with debilitating black energy that you can use to drain the opponent of life force while in combat. (instructions to use the black force included)
Ideal Weight- experimental spell that nullifies your propensity to overeat, increase you desire for exercise and boosts your metabolism. Includes a special servitor that will act upon all foods and drink to burn those extra calories. If you haven't dropped at least 20% of your body weight in 12 months, a refund for this spell is guaranteed.
Lust- The Ultimate Charm spell tweaks the aura to make males radiate the Perfect Gentleman image and women, the Sexy Girl vibe. If that's not enough, try Lust. Lust fully stimulates the two base chakras resulting in both pheromone release and the radiance of raw primal sexuality. It's based partially on remote influence and Faustian magick.
Grand Synchronicities- if you have two left feet and can't seem to get things right- here's the solution. Grand synchronicities makes things generally go your way. Imagine opening books to 'just the right page', or running into just the person you wanted to see, or always finding a vacant parking slot and even taking the road with least traffic. Grand Synchronicities minimizes your bad luck and replaces it with a streak of good. So the next time a mugger tries something- there might be a banana peel just waiting for him.
Armada- got enemies? Lots of them? Here's an old spell that appears in many spell books. You'll have a literal armada of servitors that will take incoming nasty energy and turn it back on your attacker (entity, person, spellcaster). So the worse the energy, the harder hit your opponent will be.
Invisibility- sometimes you wish you can just fade from the social scene (especially if people like picking on you). Invisibility doesn't make you physically invisible. What it does is to dampen your energy field next to nothing that bullies, harassers and even negative forces will find you uninteresting. You can walk by a crowd and scarcely be noticed. The spell can be activated and deactivated.
The Cosmic Forces- Feeling drawn out? Perpetually beaten? Would you like a rush of cosmic energy on tap to jumpstart your day? Imagine dominating the gym. Commanding the bedroom. Or tripling your manifestation prowess. With Cosmic forces, you will have access to three fireballs of living energy. Each Cosmic Force corresponds to specific physical, emotional or psionic demand. Summon the Force and you'll never be the same again. You will feel like a god.
Forex Magic - Are you a foreign exchange trader but can't beat the market? One of this company's directors is an avid trader and has consistently turned in a profit. Using a wealth trend geared precisely to help anticipate trends, you can expect a substantial growth in your portfolio. And that's not all! Included with the Forex Magic trend is a very special ebook that outlines the precise tactics used to generate strong profit regardless of market condition. Don't spend on dubious $179 manuals or trading bots when you can have the system that transformed $10,000 into $70,000 in just two months.
Pheromone Generator- Pheromones are those sexy scents emitted by the body which allegedly stimulate sexual attraction in the opposite sex. These chemicals have a profound effect among lower animals and a subtle effect amongst humans. With this experimental spell, your body will secrete the sex aroma on a continual basis. You may find yourself sweating a bit more than usual and carrying a 'riper' bouquet. This spell is only for those who have tried commercial pheromone colognes and want to try a natural alternative. Ordering this carries a longer 3 month guarantee due to its experimental nature.
Sex Magick- Feeling embarrassed by the size of your tool? This spell will enlarge your jackhammer in six months, give you godly endurance in the bedroom, and make her want you badly. This spell is not meant for attraction, however, it creates lingering attachment in partners you sleep with. Be wary, as this may lead to obsession.
Roaring Lion. You need to seize life by the jaws to make it big, really big. The Roaring lion boosts your productivity, ramps up your ambition, kills procrastination and sets you on a driven rampage of success.
Adrenaline. It's not for sale, but for previous clients. After three months of using our spells, you may request a free boost to enhance your existing spells. Based on a Hebrew modality and uses the suncharacter for the source of power.
Hot Sex Spell (also known as Obsession Spell). - The Hot Sex Spell (Obssesion) is designfor influence/seduce specific targets (female) for love / sex / etc relationships. After the spell is casted out - the user receive special talisman and proceed following steps:1. Find/choose a girl you want to influence2. Check with pendulum if her subsconscious can be influenced by you 3. Get her photo or any her witness, and with talisman done very simple ritual.4.

How it Works
Specify the energy field desired, send in a picture or symbol of yourself to our email (support - at - xtrememind.com) and wait 48 to 92 hours. For the Revitalize Lost Love spell, we need a picture of you and also the other person. We will respond with an image of a talisman you should print and carry on your person for 6 months (duration of the operation).
The talisman is a link to the traditional ritual and accessory psionic machines used to power up the fields. The special rituals take a few minutes to complete but it will be fueled by radionic machines indefinitely. Understand that the bulk of the energy flow will occur over half a year, but even after the operation ceases in 6 months, your energy signature will be permanent elevated.
A critical component of the operation involves the creation of an energy servitor that you will command for purposes related to your intent. For those leery of "spiritual presences", this may not be for you so please do not request for the spell.
Proof of Action
The life force will be funneled primarily through the crown chakras and secondarily through the chest chakras. From there, the energy spreads around the body with its programming. Expect occasional tingling sensations at the crown and chest chakras for six months arising from this action. It is vital you let me know when the pricks of energy become abrasive so that the flow can be lessened.
What You Must Do During The Operation
Meet more people! Becoming outgoing allows you flex your new found energies and draw those who can elevate you socially, economically and romantically. Expect delightful synchronicities with each stranger you encounter. Remember, you nee others near you to witness your energy in action. You will observe little by locking yourself in the room.

Is it wrong that I'm attracted to a married man?
why am I attracted to a married man? I am way more attractive than he is and probably can get any guy I Want, but why do I find myself attracted to him?
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
If you went after him it would be wrong. Maybe you see his personality as someone you'd wanna be married to. But don't even think about it or act upon it. You wouldn't wanna ruin a marriage
ofc not. I don't want to go after him, I said I'm attracted to him. thanks for answering.
What Guys Said 3
May be you want to gauge if you're attractive enough to appeal to him though he's married?Some girls do that unconsciously, they want some proof that they are very attractive so they enjoy testing their attractiveness on a married average looking guy.Basically, they are after an ego rush and confirmation about how attractive they are. If that average looking guy wasn't married you probably would not even see him. It seems right now you lust for him because he should be unaccessible to you, unless you are so attractive that he can't resist being attracted to you in spite of already being married.So my guess is you look unconsciously for a validation that you are as attractive as you think you are.
my husband always teases me and says he gets hit on more when he's wearing his wedding ring than if not.
- Show Older Hide Older
there's no logic in your argument except large words to appear so.whether I'm attractive are not, does not depend on the 'preference' of guys or the ones I am physically attracted to.and it's true, it's a 'guess' with no evidence or supporting point.
You asked people why you are attracted to him, I give you my best guess, nothing more, norhing less. If you don't like someone giving you his opinion, don't ask for it ! Lmao
It's only wrong if you pursue him.
No, but it would be horrible if you did something about it. Just leave it to simple attraction. Don't show him in any way that you're attracted to him and don't act upon your feelings.
What Girls Said 8
My friend keeps on getting attracted to married/committed guys too. I think it might be because that they are married, it subconsciously shows that they are wiling to commit to one person (which is pretty hard to find these days). Plus I think it could also be a result of the idea of forebidden fruit, wanting something you're not suppose to have. I think this is true of my friend because when the married guy wants to take it further and have an affair with her (the little charmers!) she doesn't. I don't understand her and she hasn't come up with the forebidden fruit idea or any of the above, this is just my conclusions from being an unbiased observer.
It's not wrong to be attracted to someone. You probably know the reasons why you are attracted to him, forbidden fruit, he makes you feel good, enjoy the attention, he might remind you of a man that has been in your life, etc..? Find yourself a single guy don't waste your time with him.There's an article on my page read it not for the light hearted!
First of all I don't think you could compare yourself to the opposite gender based on looks. Its best that you don't let yourself be attracted to a married man because he is "married" and you should keep out of a married mans life.You are probably attracted to him, I don't because his personality may stand out compared to all of the other guys you know.Sorry ha ha my advice isn't helpful. Just don't get involved and possibly ruin a marriage, it is wrong and I believe in Karma so you never know.
attracted - notry to get with him - yeah.
what Snackey said. look dude, I was at one point in my sad, sad life, attracted to a priest o.Oso you're in the clear.just don't act on it.
Yes it's wrong you are attracted to him ,okay but what's next?-are you going to date him,what about his wife,how would you feel if you were at her place,what if he has children ?You are gonna ruin his life, his wife's life and even his children if he has.That's selfishness.OR-are you going to hide your feelings ,feel pain and leave him .Are you trying to kill yourself?*both options are unacceptable that's why it's wrong ,please stop thinking of him ,don't ruin his marriage.PS: if he left his wife for you then he would probably leave you for another woman so it's better for you and his wife to stop thinking of him.
it's not wrong to be attracted to him, but it's wrong to act on it"I am way more attractive than he is and probably can get any guy I Want, "arrogant much?
maybe it is like that movie just go with it with adam sandler and jennifer aniston. Maybe you just feel super sorry for him because he has a bad wife treating him bad and you think you are better than that wife and can treat him better.or you just want what you can't have.

Andy_BGH: When you think about the horror genre in film one of the primary stylistic components that gets discussed is how sound influences your audience. Music can be incredibly important in a horror film as it keys us in to a scare or its more subdued to build an overall tone. It can also be aggressively cheesy or overbearing. Nicholas Elert did you find the balancing act of creating mood but not overextending in your score for Dead Weight challenging or did it come naturally for you?
Andy_BGH: You guys have been running the festival/convention gauntlet for some time now. You were at Horror Hound Indianapolis a few weeks back. Bloody Good Horror did a review of "Dead Weight" along with Night of the Living Podcast. Then you just got back from CryptiCon in Minneapolis and now you're here at the Milwaukee Film Festival. What's next for you? Where is "Dead Weight" now?
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".

Judy Greer is Poor Casting Choice for Planet of the Apes Cornelia
- Written by El Presidente on Thursday, March 28 2013 and posted in News with Benefits
Source: Ain't It Cool News
El Presidente here, reporting from deep inside the jungles of Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania, surrounded by a community of friendly and intelligent chimpanzees. Why? Because this news will make you go bananas!
Judy Greer, who embodies the communist spirit by happily playing the supporting role in dozens and movies and television shows such as Two and a Half Men, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and The Big Bang Theory, was announced as having one of the lead female roles in the upcoming Dawn of the Planet of the Apes movie: Cornelia. The news comes courtesy of Ain't It Cool News, a website as famous for its industry credited trade scoops as it is for its cutting edge 1997 web design. Greer will play an ape in the movie, leading many to criticize the choice as "speciesist."
Comrades, as much as I love Judy Greer, this is a clear cut case of humanwashing. Why couldn't 20th Century Fox have cast a real ape in this role? Sure, a real ape could potentially go crazy at any moment and eat the faces of the other actors on set, and there is the whole feces-flinging problem, but is that really an excuse to have a human woman put on "ape-face" and offensively portray a member of another species?
As I once said, according to Wikipedia, one of the most just battles that must be fought, a battle that must be emphasized more and more, which I might call the fourth battle—the battle to end special discrimination at work centers. I repeat: the battle to end special discrimination at work centers. Of all the forms of special discrimination the worst is the one that limits the simian Cuban's access to jobs on movie sets.
Despite pressure from the geek community, which will take any excuse for righteous indignation, regardless of how ridiculous it is, Fox seems to be forging ahead with its all-human cast. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is set for a May, 2014 release.
The Outhouse is sponsored this week by Late Nite Draw.

About the Author - El Presidente
El Presidente gave up his position as President and Prime Minister of Cuba, as well as First Secretary of Cuba's Communist Party, in 2008 in order to concentrate on his true love: Hollywood gossip reporting. Forming the rumor website Cubano Review, El Presidente built a name for himself based on over THREE DOZEN industry credited trade scoops. Unfortunately, capitalist American trade embargoes have rendered CubanoReview.com unreachable from within the United States, forcing El Presidente to syndicate his articles to The Outhouse, which flies under the radar of the American oligarchy thanks to most leaders assuming it is a scat porn site, which, to be fair, is basically true.

The sentimental may say that the beautiful day on June 15 - the sunny, blue sky, a gentle breeze - was the Northampton Community College campus itself saying thank you to two extraordinary leaders. The weather and the setting were picture-perfect as the NCC community gathered for a farewell celebration to honor Dr. Arthur L. Scott, NCC's president since 2003, and Susan Kubik, vice president of institutional advancement and executive director of the NCC Foundation. After having served NCC for a combined 73 years, Scott and Kubik will retire at the end of June.
The festivities began outside in the Quad with food, drinks, live music and a sea of smiling, happy faces as close to 500 students, alumni, friends and colleagues reunited for the momentous occasion.
"I was here for Art's first interview. I was here for his inauguration. I was here for his inaugural ball. Of course I'm going to be here for his retirement," retired staff member Millie Hudak said. "He is like a son to me."
The program began inside in an overflowing Lipking Theatre. "We're a close knit family, we all love each other," Thea Phalon, director of special events said as she asked people to move closer together to make room for more guests. "We love Art and Sue!" an audience member shouted in reply. It was a refrain that was repeated throughout the night, during an evening filled with fun surprises.
Did you know that Scott and Kubik were retiring to spend more time on their music career? Neither did they. The entertainment began with a video of Paul Pierpoint, dean of NCC's Fowler Family Southside Center, and Mardi McGuire Closson, vice president of student affairs, impersonating the "Hullabaloo Hipsters," with Mario Acerra, professor of communication/theatre starring as the host of the "Showbiz Review." "Susie and I are both retiring," Pierpoint mimed to Acerra as Scott. "But this college is always going to be a part of us. We go together." The song from the movie "Grease" began to play on the video, and it was soon proven that the entire college community believes Scott, Kubik and NCC do indeed go together as staff, faculty and students from all departments and campuses appeared on the screen dancing to the song.
The fun continued as Pierpoint and Closson reenacted a true story depicting how Scott and Kubik's beloved dog Ollie joined the family as a result of a golf bet.
Guests held up electric tea candles in tribute to Scott and Kubik as NCC's Community Chorus sang the college alma mater. Before anyone could shed too many tears, the mood turned light again as Professor of History Michael McGovern, cast as a transitional therapist in a satirical video, told the couple: "The good news is that when you retire, you get to spend a lot more time with your spouse," he said straight-faced. "The bad news is, you get to spend a lot more time with your spouse."
The crowd went wild when "Artie Baby and the Kub-i-chicks" hit the stage, pleading with Scott and Kubik to reconsider their retirement by serenading them with the Diana Ross and the Supremes song "Stop! In the Name of Love." It may have backfired when Mitch Murtha, director of judicial affairs, decked out as Diana Ross, ignored Scott's protests and sat in his lap to finish the song.
The program turned serious again as Jeff Focht, vice president of academic affairs, recapped the amazing careers of the guests of honor. "It is hard to imagine this place without you," he said. Members of the Alumni Association, Foundation Board, and Board of Trustees, as well as Senator Lisa Boscola and Representative Joe Emrick, stepped forward to pay their respects to Scott and Kubik and the lasting legacy they have created at NCC.
The first gift of the evening was presented by Brian Shaud. A May graduate of NCC, Shaud produced the "We Go Together" video when he was still a student. He gave Scott and Kubik their own copy.
Scott Raub '92 and Cindy Workman '74, gave them mini billboards and a replica of a paver that will be placed in the Tribute Garden with their names on it from the Alumni Association. "You are a dynamic duo who truly coined the Northampton Way," Raub said. "Thank you for the many wonderful memories. Your actions will always be felt and you will be greatly missed."
Bruce Palmer of the Foundation Board recalled how Scott and Kubik began their careers during his days as a student. After crediting them for the "extremely positive image NCC enjoys not only in our region but around the country," he, Arif Fazil and Diane Martin presented them with a Martin Guitar signed by all the Foundation members. "It is a fitting gift because you played such a role in industry here in the Lehigh Valley. And if retirement doesn't work out, take guitar lessons and busk in the Quad," he joked.
Fazil, who leads D'Huy Engineering group shared a favorite quote before presenting Scott and Kubik with hard hats to wear when visiting the construction site of the new Monroe Campus. "We shape our buildings and thereafter they shape us."
"During the last few months, our campus community has been working around the clock trying to figure out what kind of present would be just right for Art and Sue. They are not easy people to shop for, but I think we figured something out they'll enjoy," Jeff Focht said before calling Closson, Associate Professor of Biology Charlie Rinehimer, and Donna Taggart '73 to the stage.
Closson revealed donations had been collected from the College family to purchase a trip to Pebble Beach, California, for the avid golfers. In presenting a portrait of Scott painted by Suzana Mestric, Rinehimer explained, "Here at Northampton, we like to see our president: in line at the cafeteria, around the table at meetings, at student activities and college celebrations. Seeing Art is always a pleasure. Now we can continue to see Art at NCC anytime we like."
Taggart drew enthusiastic applause when she said, "Every year, individuals choose to make financial contributions to Northampton as a way of honoring people they love. When people make those gifts, it is often Art and Sue who phone them up and say thank you and let them know that from now on, they are a part of the Northampton family. Tonight, rather than making the call, Art and Sue get to take the call. It is my pleasure to let you know that faculty, staff and friends have contributed over $40,000 to NCC in your honor. Art and Sue, you will always be part of this Northampton family." The money will be divided between the Laura Scott Scholarship Endowment, the Dr. Arthur Scott Presidential Leadership Endowment, and the Development Endowment.
There were more revelations to come. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, Bob Fehnel and Karl Stackhouse took turns at the mic. "Sue, we want your name to be a part of Northampton Community College forever," Stackhouse said before announcing that NCC's Tribute Garden would from now on be known as the Susan K. Kubik Tribute Garden.
Next Fehnel and Stackhouse turned to Art, saying, "Art's background in athletics shaped the leader he is today. He understands the value of teamwork, and never took his eye off the goal of helping students succeed." Because of this, the Trustees deemed it appropriate to rename the Spartan Center the Arthur L. Scott Spartan Center.
Closing reflections were offered by David Shaffer '77, who praised Art as a bricklayer who built on the foundations laid by his predecessors Dr. Kopecek and Dr. Richardson, and as a community connector and leader of the highest touch. He commended Sue for her advocacy on behalf of students to keep tuition affordable. "When someone says Sue Kubick is the most successful and talented fundraiser in the area, I say balderdash," Shaffer said. "She is the most successful and talented fundraiser in the universe."
Visibly touched, Scott and Kubik offered their thanks. "You will never know how much your presence tonight means to us," Kubik told the audience. She shared that while having angst over retirement, she turned to NCC's former president, Dr. Robert Kopecek, who told her: "I guarantee you won't miss the work. You'll miss the relationships," she related. She then thanked the Trustees for their wisdom and guidance, philanthropists for trusting NCC with their hard-earned investments, staff and faculty for exemplifying the Northampton Way, and the Institutional Advancement staff for making it a pleasure for her to come to work every day.
"Northampton has been our life," Scott said. "We met here, grew up here, and survived 32 years of marriage here," he joked. "I came in the '70s and only planned on staying for a few years. We stayed because the work is so extraordinary, important and exciting. Many of you in this audience can and should take credit for all we have accomplished together. It has been a blessing to be at a college that works every day to transform the lives of its students. We leave with a sense of accomplishment, fun memories and knowing the future is very, very bright not only for NCC, but for the community."
Jeff Focht ended by remarking that Art and Sue have left NCC well-prepared for the future. "Respect and joy are key ingredients to the thing we call the Northampton Way. These are among the gifts that Art and Sue have been giving to us for over thirty years. And these are the gifts that will carry us into the future.
The celebration continued out on the Quad where the crowd savored the moment, the memories, the company, and desserts prepared by NCC's culinary arts students and Sodexo.

Chinese Companies Looking For Energy
Reuben is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
CNOOC (NYSE: CEO) has been granted U.S. approval for its purchase of Nexen (NYSE: NXY), a Canadian energy company. This is a big deal, not because of the ultimate price tag, but because it gives China a notable position in the Canadian Oil Sands region. Although Canada is looking to put limits on similar purchases, China will likely continue to aggressively buy oil and natural gas assets. It has little choice in the matter, and that could be a good thing for all oil companies.
A Big Country
China is a big country with lots of people. When most of those people were poor farmers, energy wasn't as big a deal. However, China has been industrializing at a fast pace. That requires energy of all sorts. Oil and natural gas are two key energy sources and ones that can be easily accessed. With more people entering the middle class, China is going to find its energy capacity strained if it doesn't act quickly to bulk up.
That's notable in the electricity field, where the country is aggressively building new power plants, using coal, nuclear, and natural gas as fuel. However, it is also building cars at a breakneck pace. Cars use gasoline, which comes from oil. Thus, the country is using its controlled companies to reach out into the world to find additional sources of the key fuels it will need to support its economic growth.
CNOOC is China's largest producer of offshore crude oil and natural gas and one of the largest independent oil and gas exploration and production companies in the world. It's main areas of operation include Bohai Bay, the Western South China Sea, the Eastern South China Sea, and the East China Sea. CNOOC essentially has an exclusive right to develop these offshore assets. The company also has operations in Africa, North America, South America, and Oceania.
Like many other key Chinese companies, CNOOC is effectively controlled by the Chinese government. In fact, part of its stated purpose is to ensure energy reserves for its home market. The recently approved purchase of Canada's Nexen supports that goal.
Nexen is an international oil and natural gas driller with operations in the UK North Sea, offshore West Africa, the Gulf of Mexico, and Western Canada. It has three principal businesses: conventional oil and gas, oil sands, and shale gas. In the conventional area, the company has land based facilities in Canada, Yemen, and Colombia. Offshore, it operates in the UK North Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and Atlantic Ocean. The company's shale gas plays are located in northeastern British Columbia and Canada, with development opportunities in Poland and Colombia. It also has operations in Canada's oil sands, where it operates the Long Lake facility.
CNOOC came in with an all-cash offer that was an over 60% premium to Nexen's price the day before the deal was announced. Clearly it was a generous offer from a company looking to solidify a foothold in the oil sands region, since CNOOC already had assets in many of Nexen's other markets.
Oil Sands
Canada's oil sands are dirty and expensive to develop. That means that oil prices have to remain relatively high for companies to make money pulling oil from the play. Essentially, oil saturated sand is dug up and then has steam, water, or other chemicals spraying into it to release the oil. For Canada, the oil sands are a strategically important asset. It is so important that there are many large oil and gas companies already operating in the region.
While Canada approved the CNOOC deal, it is rethinking its willingness to continue to grant access to foreign countries. This makes complete sense, particularly when dealing with a Chinese company whose stated goal is to benefit China. That's far different than working with an Exxon Mobile. Clearly CNOOC's efforts could easily be at odds with both its own shareholders and, in the end, Canada. Note that the United States scuttled a deal between CNOOC and Unocal, which was eventually purchased by Chevron, because of the amount of control the Chinese government has in CNOOC.
Other Chinese Energy Giants to Watch
PetroChina (NYSE: PTR) is another major integrated oil company out of China. It is also effectively controlled by the Chinese government. While PetroChina's business is centered on China, its reach is, indeed, much further than that, as it, too, looks to secure energy resources for its home market. Operationally and financially, the company is roughly similar to most other major oil companies.
The outlook for the company hinges on the growth of the Chinese market, and it is set to benefit as energy demand continues to increase. With a yield in the 3% range, PetroChina isn't the highest yielding oil major around, but does yield more than a full percentage point more than CNOOC. The yield is also on par with the industry leaders and backed by the continued growth of the company's home market. Its international moves should be monitored as well.
Another company to watch is China Petroleum & Chemical Corp. (NYSE: SNP). More commonly known as Sinopec, it was "established" in mid 1998. Like CNOOC and PetroChina, China Petroleum is a major oil exploration company. However, it is also one of the largest chemicals and refining companies in the world, too, with a big distribution network (gas stations) within China.
Interestingly, like CNOOC, China Petroleum has also ventured into Canada to acquire oil and natural gas reserves. Notably, the company's 2011 purchase of Daylight Energy expanded its foothold in our northern neighbor. As with CNOOC and PetroChina, the company's goal is to serve its home market, with a motivated government backing its efforts.
Oil Prices Could Stay High
With two giant companies searching the world for oil and natural gas reserves, there will be plenty of willing sellers. Particularly if the price being paid is generous. China has lots of reserves floating around, much of which are in U.S. dollars. Unless it wants to just hold massive amounts of U.S. debt, it has to spend the dollars it has. Using its two oil majors to secure international reserves is a good place to start. And, if it can't find willing sellers in the United States and Canada, it will be more than happy to deal with nations with which U.S. companies either can't or won't work.
It has been a long time since oil was what historically has been considered cheap. With black gold increasingly hard to find, political strife in oil rich countries, and China upping its efforts to secure access to oil, there's a high likelihood that oil prices aren't going to plumb all time lows any time soon. That means continued profits for oil drillers. It also means that investors might want to watch the area closely, with a keen eye on CNOOC, PetroChina, and China Petroleum & Chemical Corp.
While high oil prices is a good thing for investors in the oil space, China's oil and natural gas aspirations may not be so good for the interests of the countries in which its companies purchase assets. There's only so much that can be done about that fact, but investors could benefit just the same.

U.S. first-time jobless claims up by 5K to 320K
Washington, DC, United States (4E) – The number of Americans who filed for unemployment benefits for the first time climbed slightly higher last week, signaling stabilization in the labor market.
In the week ended March 15, initial unemployment claims — which gauges the layoff trends across the country — jumped by 5,000 to a seasonally adjusted 320,000, according to the Labor Department report released Thursday. The reading is in line with economists' estimate in a poll by the Dow Jones Newswires.
The previous week's claims figures were unrevised at 315,000.
The four-week moving average of claims — a broader figure that removes the volatility of the week-to-week data — declined by 3,500 to 327,000, the report said. The figure is the lowest since the end of November.
The number of jobless claims continues to be under the 400,000 level, which many economists view as the threshold for an expanding job market.
In the week ended March 8, the number of continuing unemployment benefits workers received rose by 41,000 to 2,889,000, according to Thursday's report. The figure for continuing claims, which are those drawn by workers for more than one week, are reported with a one-week lag.

A homecoming game, on both sides. That's what Kings-Oilers figured to be Thursday night in LA. Coming back to town was Ryan Smyth, fan favorite and two-year LA native who moved back to Edmonton last summer, it was said, due to family reasons. Some among the fan base are skeptical about that, and they let it be known by booing the veteran loudly.
Seeing old mates was Jarret Stoll, who played the early part of his career in Alberta. Also figuring in the mix—Taylor Hall, who heard his name called as the first overall pick in 2010 in this very building. And of course, Eric Belanger was with the Kings from 2001-06.
Add to that Ethan Moreau, with the Oilers a decade before a year with Columbus and then to LA, and Matt Greene, three seasons in Edmonton, and you have the recipe for a lot of nostalgia.
Even more to be noted: this night would be the ironic debut of Colten Teubert. Ironic? Because the Kings drafted him with their first pick in 2008, 13th overall. He was the team's next great hope, and the year after he was drafted, he got 37 points in the WHL with the Regina Pats. That was in 60 games. He also played eight games with the Ontario (CA) Reign of the ECHL that year. The next, he got 40 points in 60 games, and 3 in ten with the Reign. That season also saw him get 115 PIMs in the notoriously rough Western Junior league.
The Kings promoted him to their AHL Manchester team the next year, but then the Oilers came calling with a trade offer. Dustin Penner for Teubert plus draft picks. The Kings bit. Since then, Penner's done nothing, and now Teubert is in the NHL.
Other intrigue centered around the LA debut of rookie Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, now firmly in the league after having survived the ten-game cutoff (he's been in all of the Oilers' twelve so far, coming into the night with 11 points in 11 games). He wasn't huge in the game, though he finished with 18 minutes played and four blocked shots. That trailed only Ladislav Smid on the Oilers, and the five that he blocked were off the arm, the shoulder, the same arm again, and one other.
After the game, IH approached him to talk about his first California experience. "Nope, never been to Cali," he started out, "It was cool stepping off the plane and the heat wave kind of hit you. It was 28 [obviously speaking Celsius] when we got here yesterday, so it's a huge climate change. The palm trees everywhere are a little bit different than Edmonton. It's my first time being here, but it's a really nice city from what I saw."
Speaking of the connections between the two teams, he said, "I think most of the young guys are aware of it, but we don't want to think about it too much. We just want to approach it as another game. It's motivation, but we just go in and try to play the game and get a 'W' out of it."
About his personal adjustment to the NHL, he said, "I'm starting to feel a lot better. I think the exhibition games got me ready, but the regular season is a whole different thing, so after the few first games, I started to feel a little more comfortable… more adjusted to the game."
I asked him whether he'd had any surprises, and he said, "I think my biggest thing I need to keep working on is my faceoffs. I've been struggling with them, but that's something I need to keep working on and improve them as best I can." He won three and lost five on the night.
Just to set the record straight, Nugent-Hopkins is listed at 175lb., and NHL players are sometimes credited for more size than they possess. In his case, it looks like 175 is on the under-side. Maybe he's put on muscle over the summer, but he's bulkier than most people give him credit for being.
He also commented that Ryan Smyth had helped him adjust to the NHL, having him over for dinner a couple of times. Wouldn't you know it, Smyth scored the first goal of the game. Actually, Alec Martinez of the Kings did, or at least it went behind Jonathan Quick off of his stick, but it was Smyth's clearing pass out from behind the net that set it up. Hence, he got credit.
Until that moment (and nobody could blame him for the goal), Quick had been stellar. He had stopped 11 shots while watching his team get seven. The Oilers' best chance came in the first period, when Drew Doughty was caught up ice in the Edmonton zone. Smyth and Ryan Jones came down two-on-one, and the puck went left to right for the shot. Quick burst across the net in the full splits and got it with his left leg. Spectacular.
Too bad the Kings' offense wasn't the same. They lamely played through two periods of hockey with just 10 shots, absolutely none dangerous. And, to be accurate, it should have been nine. What was counted as the tenth was a long wrister from the point that was at least two feet wide. Maybe that's what you get when the off-ice officials are guys who have never played the game.
Too bad for LA about the shots, because it might have been nice to see them test the number one goalie in the league. Nikolai Khabibulin came into the night with a lights-out save percentage of .960 (Quick's was a none too shabby .947). Nothing happened to disturb those numbers, only help them, as he ended up shutting out the Kings.
Having not seen any of their games, one might assume that the goalie's great numbers were because of his play. Perhaps this has been the reason. But at least part of the credit has to go to the team's defense. At least against the LA team, they were stingy with the puck, not just not allowing shots, but not allowing access to the crease, the slot, and hardly to the zone. Their season numbers coming into the night show them giving up relatively few shots. Nugent-Hopkins said that there have been nights when the goalies have stood on their heads in the young season, but that other times, the team has been forceful out front.
Edmonton scored again before the second period ended when Quick was interfered with (he thought, as he protested to the referee after the goal) while Ben Eager took a shot which hit a leg and Lennart Petrell put the puck in on his backhand. An Oiler whose name sounds like "petrol"? He's a rookie at 27, from the Finnish league, who came over this year after having been drafted by Columbus in 2004. Of his goal, he said, "It's really, really a good feeling. Probably something you'll remember the rest of your life. I haven't taken pressure that much about scoring, there's so much other things going on in my mind, it's like adjusting to this little different hockey culture that you've got over here. I haven't been worried too much, but it's kind of, at least I've scored once, one goal in my NHL career."
That's something I think about all the time. What if you played in the league and never scored? How much would one goal mean? This guy gets it.
The Oil came out in period three and scored at one minute when Sam Gagne put a pass back out front, and Corey Potter, standing there alone, reached out and swept the puck into the net on his backhand for his second of the season.
The Kings had been standing still in the neutral zone to allow the turnover which led to Gagne's heading into the zone on the fly.
Things got no better as the game wound down, as the team managed just nine shots in period three and no goals. In truth even those shots were not what they looked like. None except perhaps Dustin Brown's high wrister were a threat. Coach Renney attributed the win to "paying attention to the little things. We managed the puck better as the game went on, and didn't deviate from that. When everybody's making little sacrifices to win the hockey game, you get those results." The details he was talking about included blocking shots and limiting shots as well as sticking to an unnamed game plan. He also credited his goalie for his quality play.
"Sacrifices, then counter. Counter attack. We've got some speed and quickness, and we can counter attack pretty quickly after we shut it down in front of our net. We've talked a lot about this in the last couple of weeks, actually. The bottom line is, if you get pucks down low, in the blue paint, you often get a second chance for a loose puck."
Emblematic of the night—Mike Richards stole a puck and took it to the net later in period three. With the defense starting to close in, instead of continuing on the short path to the goalmouth, he passed backwards, to Kopitar, who shot the puck wide. On purpose? There was a slight chance, and it bounced off the end boards to out past Richards, who couldn't get a stick on it. No shot. No chance. That's the Kings right now.

Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner, but when it comes to all your favorite lime-infused drinks, there may be an issue.
There has been a major shortage of limes in the United States and while prices have been on the rise, quality has gone way downhill.
The general manager of Maverick Rock Taco in Charlotte, Maria Cajiao, says "they've gone from about the size of a baseball to the size of a ping pong ball. For a lot of applications we juice them and not a lot of juice coming out of the tiny limes."
While some restaurants might cut their lime juice with other citrus fruits, Cajiao says Maverick Rock Taco will not ruin the integrity of their drinks, and despite the skyrocketing prices, they will not be jacking up the cost of their beverages for their Cinco de Mayo fiesta.
However, if you want a slice of lime with your taco, you better demand it.

Tea, wine may curb dementia
Chemicals in green tea and red wine may block the brain damage caused by Alzheimer's disease.
Scientists at the University of Leeds targeted a process that allows harmful clumps of protein in the brain to kill neurons.
Using purified extracts of the chemicals EGCG in green tea and resveratrol in red wine, they were able to stop nerve cells from being harmed.
Lead scientist Professor Nigel Hooper says it is an important step in increasing understanding of the cause and progression of Alzheimer's.
"It's a misconception that Alzheimer's is a natural part of ageing; it's a disease that we believe can ultimately be cured through finding new opportunities for drug targets like this," he says.
Alzheimer's is characterised by a build-up of amyloid-beta protein in the brain that clumps together to form toxic, sticky balls.
The amyloid balls latch on to molecules called prions on the surface of nerve cells. As a result, the nerve cells start to malfunction and eventually die.
"We wanted to investigate whether the precise shape of the amyloid balls is essential for them to attach to the prion receptors, like the way a baseball fits snugly into its glove," says Dr Jo Rushworth, another member of the Leeds team.
"If so, we wanted to see if we could prevent the amyloid balls binding to prion by altering their shape, as this would stop the cells from dying."
Previous research had shown that red wine and green tea compounds are able to reshape amyloid proteins, the Journal of Biological Chemistry report says.
When they were added to amyloid balls in a test tube, the toxic clumps of protein no longer harmed human and animal brain cells.

The men's hockey tournament is considered by Russians as the crowned jewel of the 2014 Olympics in Sochi. It all begins Wednesday with enormous pressure on the host team and high expectations attached to the North American squads as well.
Though Vancouver offered one of the most exciting tournaments and exciting finishes in the NHL era of the Olympics, the 2014 Games offer a whole new level of intrigue. With the Winter Olympics on Russian soil for the first time, the home team figures to either be the tournament's most motivated team or will be crushed by the expectations.
Meanwhile, Sweden, the United States and Canada all seem to have the best chance among other teams to compete for gold along with the hosts.
It's going to be a fantastic two weeks of hockey full of twists and turns and the best action we'll see until the Stanley Cup Playoffs get underway. Anything can happen at the Olympics, making for both compelling TV and terrific storylines
Here's a look at each of the three groups heading into the Olympics, which open Wednesday at noon ET with Czech Republic vs. Sweden.

The Ottoman-Qajar War was fought between the Ottoman Empire and Qajar Empire from 1821 to 1823.Contents
Tensions between the two empires had been rising due to the Ottoman Empire's harboring of rebellious tribesmen from Iranian Azerbaijan. Although secretly, the Russian Empire was attempting to put pressure on the Ottoman Empire, which was at war with the Greeks, who were receiving arms from Russia.War
Crown Prince Abbas Mirza of Persia, at the instigation of the Russian Empire, invades Kurdistan and the areas surrounding Iranian Azerbaijan. The governor of Baghdad's invasion of Persia is defeated by Mohammed Ali Mirza who then besieges Baghdad, his untimely death ends the siege. Meanwhile, Abbas Mirza marches into eastern Anatolia with 30,000 troops and meets an Ottoman army of 50,000 at the Battle of Erzurum. Abbas Mirza wins the battle of Erzurum, despite a cholera epidemic.Result
Peace was not concluded until the Treaty of Erzurum two years later; both sides recognized the previous borders, with no territorial changes. Also included in the treaty, was the guaranteed access for Persian pilgrims to holy sites within the Ottoman Empire.

Murder By Death
The hipsters will tell you that the show of the night is Real Estate up at the Belly Up. While the band is certainly on top of its game and will definitely deliver a great show, I'm partial to Thursday's lineup at the Casbah.
Since the day this show was announced, I've been looking forward to this show and it is rare to see such depth in a touring lineup. From the Ozarks, Ha Ha Tonka will kick off the night and could very well be headliners themselves. Cory Chisel & the Wandering Sons have a new record that is absolutely amazing, thanks to Chisel's haunting, heartfelt vocals. In fact, you can see Chisel now before he returns next week to open for Norah Jones at Symphony Hall.
Murder By Death will close out the night, and while their video projections tend to make them difficult to photograph, it certainly enhances the mood of their country-tinged rock & roll. Grab your tickets online because while there are a few left, this show will likely sell out by the time the doors open.

I'm researching strollers for the babe and because I am me, I googled "celebrity strollers" and came across this great page of photos of celebs and the kinds of strollers they use.
Every photo lists a name brand except the one of Britney Spears, which just says, "Inexpensive Umbrella Stroller."
I just LOLed 4 days about that. Even my baby laughed, because she has her mother's cruel heart.
Seriously, I have no idea what to do/see. Tourist-y things welcome. Stupid questions like, "Can I take public transportation everywhere and also walk the city?" forthcoming.
Wow. This is the most important news I've read all day. For serz.
…Juliana Hatfield did NOT lose her V to Evan Dando, but rather another 90s heartthrob, Spike Jonze. You can read about it here and then feel bad about actually caring (the other person who cares, aside from Elizabeth and Marisa).
Thanks to Melissa Denice for this bit of hot, pressing, 90s gossip.
A lovely, impartial, unbiased piece of journalism from Kate Spencer, here; including misquotes, insertion of unnecessary jabs at other band member's private lives (and very seedily put, too), and not to mention a bucketload of insinuation.
I would suggest to Ms Spencer that she learns more about her subject's background before launching into this sort of guff, and perhaps takes time off from lipsynching to Twilight movies to take a couple of journalism and writing courses."—I wrote a blog post about the bassist from Muse comparing being on the Twilight soundtracks to selling his soul, and a bunch of Muse fans ripped me 50 new assholes… which would hurt, if it wasn't coming from people who like the dumbest band ever.
I have been hesitant to blab too much online about my pregnancy, but I'm too hyper today not to. This morning we found out that we are having a girl. I was pretty convinced it was a boy and so the news came as a total shock. I had no real reason for the boy vibe, just suspicions and old wives tales and early ultrasound pics where I swore I saw baby peen. Anyway, I was totally wrong and I am totally okay with that. I couldn't be more thrilled either way. Honestly, it's mostly a relief to see that its heart is intact and it has 10 fingers and 10 toes. But the gender news still has me totally worked up.
The first thing I thought was, jokingly, that this was my mom's way of cursing me from the afterlife. She always loved to tease me for all the shit I put her through by saying, "I can't wait for when you have a daughter. I'll just sit back and laugh." I hope she's laughing. She got me. I know what I'm in for - I was a hellion. Yes, I once left a note for my mom at the top of our stairs that read, 'I hope you fall down the stairs.' Yes, I got black out drunk at an Indigo Girls concert in high school and my mom had to hold my hair while I puked. Yes, I had a sobbing meltdown when she got me a bathrobe and not a phone for my 11th birthday.
Well played, Mom.
But the second thing that struck me was that seconds after texting our families the news, I sent out texts to tons of girlfriends - high school girlfriends, college girlfriends, comedy girlfriends, yoga girlfriends…and I got so excited that future daughter is going to have her own network of women friends that she'll carry with her through out her life. To me that's one of the most unique aspects of being a woman, and sure it can be hell at times (oh, 9th grade, how you ruined me) but for the most part, your female friends are your second family. And I can't wait for her to meet the important women in my life and eventually discover her own.
On a side note: I was talking to my best friend - who knew I was having boy vibes - after telling her the gender news, and mentioned to her that I had listened to a lot of Ani DiFranco yesterday (another thing I can't wait for my daughter to experience). She concluded that all that Ani probably sucked the penis right off of my fetus and turned it into a girl. That made me laugh. I love my friends.
In case anyone is curious as to how far I've fallen in life, I'm currently listening to a playlist on the web that a Twilight fan fiction character gives to another Twilight fan fiction character in the Twilight fan fiction story I am currently reading…for the second time.
To everyone who has liked and reblogged my post about today's National Call-In in support of pancreatic cancer research, and big ups (did I just write that?) to all of you who have called. It's a sad fact that one thing most of us have in common is a disease. I really appreciate your help in supporting further research for pancreatic cancer, so that maybe some time down the road people with the disease will get diagnosed before it's reached stage 4, and maybe they'll live a little bit longer than 8 months, and maybe their doctors will even be able to treat it and cure it.
You are awesome.
This is an email I just sent to friends and family. Please read, and please call. And please, please reblog (PLEASE) and help me spread the word. It would mean a lot to me.
This past June 14th marks 4 years since my mother Martha was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. June 17th would have been my parents' 38th year wedding anniversary. Though life has continued to move forward since her passing there is not a day that goes by where I don't miss her lovely presence - her laughter, wise advice and warmth - and wish that she would be here to meet her first grandchild this winter (in case you don't know, I am pregnant and due December 1st).
Tomorrow, Tuesday June 22, is the fourth annual Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (pancan.org) National Call-In, in which participants take just a few minutes out of their day to call their senators and representative in Congress. It is not only a movement to raise general awareness about a deadly cancer that gets little funding support (less than 2% of the National Cancer Institute's budget goes to pancreatic cancer research), but a time to urge politicians to support the Pancreatic Cancer Research and Education Act.
The link below has all the information you need on your congressmen/women's phone numbers, as well as a script detailing what to say. I have made these calls every year and they are easy and quick. Last year less than 3000 people nationwide participated - with your help it could be so much more…especially when over 30,000 people a year are diagnosed with this disease (and around the same amount die from it each year).
My mom would probably want me to add that there's no pressure to make a phone call or two, but I would certainly appreciate it if you did - not just in her honor, but for all the people who have to face this disease every year. Finally, I ask that you forward this email to anyone and everyone you know - whether they knew my mom or not. The more people who pick up the phone, the less who have to suffer at the hands of this miserable disease.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
look at love
how it tangles
with the one fallen in love
look at spirit
how it fuses with earth
giving it new life
why are you so busy
with this or that or good or bad
pay attention to how things blend
why talk about all
the known and the unknown
see how the unknown merges into the known
why think seperately
of this life and the next
when one is born from the last
look at your heart and tongue
one feels but deaf and dumb
the other speaks in words and signs
look at water and fire
earth and wind
enemies and friends all at once
the wolf and the lamb
the lion and the deer
far away yet together
look at the unity of this
spring and winter
manifested in the equinox
you too must mingle my friends
since the earth and the sky
are mingled just for you and me
be like sugarcane
sweet yet silent
don't get mixed up with bitter words
my beloved grows
right out of my own heart
how much more union can there be
Changing My Mind | Zadie Smith "Garrett sent this to me. It is true, it is depressing, it is inspiring. And I'm ok with it." (via Sarah) Yeah, I sent it to her with the subject line "I read this and thought of you. Put it on Tumblr." Originally this also included: "I'll reblog it." (via deliberatepace) (via shiningstar)
I like this.
Yesterday was the four year anniversary of my mom's cancer diagnosis…and I forgot. Completely forgot. I remembered on June 12 and thought to myself, 'you're two days early,' and had a big ol' missing mom meltdown listening to old voicemails on the 13th. Then yesterday came and went and I had a lovely day that ended with dinner with friends and it never once entered my mind. I'm confident that that's exactly how my mom would have wanted it.
Time is a healer and absence makes the heart grow fonder. When it comes to my mom, I think I'll forever be stuck in between these two Hallmarkian truths.
