In an article for the first edition of Cryptozoology Bernard Heuvelmans wrote that cryptozoology is the study of 'unexpected animals' and following on from that perfectly reasonable assertion, it seems to us that whereas the study of out of place birds may not have the glamour of the hunt for bigfoot or lake monsters, it is still a perfectly valid area for the Fortean zoologist to be interested in. So after about six months of regular postings on the main bloggo Corinna took the plunge and started a 'Watcher of the Skies' blog of her own as part of the CFZ Bloggo Network.

DALE DRINNON: Frontiers of Anthropology, Cedar and Willow, Benny's Blogs

New at the Frontiers of Anthropology:

It's Sunday, I don't mean to frighten
but I'm just about to go to Brighton
to see The Deviants do their thing
and to video Mick Farren sing
But before I go there is just time
to pen another stupid rhyme
to do the blogs like I do each week
cos it amuses this particular journo-freak
to do the blogs in rhyme each Sunday
cos it makes the chore a fun day
so to start the Gonzo Track of the Day
is my favourite Farren-song Wayhay!
But now its time to meet the Nexus
of our poetry synapses down in Texas
he does his thing in Austin Town
"Thom the World Poet, come on down!"
Kevin Ayers was a great great man,
I can truly say I was a fan,
he died sometime earlier this year
and there's an appreciation of him here
He's always cheerful, never surly
Gordon Giltrap interviews Ray Burley
about how he managed to get so far
playing on the acoustic guitar
The other day we gave you news
about Stephen Stills playing the blues
the band's first album groweth near
and we've got the first track for you here
Renaissance are a great band, see
and they've just released a new CD
so here presented just for you
is some sort of video review
Also, remember Judy Dyble is on the radio later this morning

CRYPTOLINK: The 5 Most Endangered Canine Species

A word about cryptolinks: we are not responsible for the content of cryptolinks, which are merely links to outside articles that we think are interesting, usually posted up without any comment whatsoever from me.

Domesticated dogs are some of the most popular animals on the planet, but their cousins in the wild aren’t always as beloved. For thousands of years humans have persecuted wolves, jackals, dingoes, foxes and other members of the family Canidae,pushing many species into or close to extinction. Here are five of the most endangered canine species and subspecies, three of which only continue to exist because a few people and organizations have taken extraordinary efforts to save them.

ALLEN SALZBERG: New York State Snapping Turtles Under Attack

Speaker Silver is receiving  emails and calls to defeat the  turtle bill and still reviewing the bill , now please take this opportunity to present your own NYS legislator with the facts too.

Tell your assemblyman to vote against A2490, a bill that legalizes the capture and killing of snapping turtles by trapping. A bill that is speeding through the  NYS Legislature.
Snapping turtles are already permitted to be killed by gun and longbow and therefore recreational and commercial trapping will dramatically increase the number of  these turtles deaths. A devastating blow to these  vulnerable animals.   The bill has passed the Senate is and  is currently in the Assembly Codes Committee. This proposed legislation is cruel and scientifically wrong.  It is not based on any proven science regarding snapping turtles, or any turtle species.

So please contact your Assemblymember.

Please take one minute to  ask  your own  NYS level Assemblymember to vote no on A2490.
To Locate the name  and contact page of your Assemblymember  go to:
2.       Fill in your address
3.       Click on your Assemblymember’s  name
4.       Click on the  Assemblymember’s CONTACT  page and write your email and/or  call.
If you  know your legislators name and wish to call the Albany office -- 518-455-4100.  ( Assembly operator)
If you have time you may wish to add  the following points:
1.    The flesh of snapping turtles is tainted with toxins .
2.    Non- intended endangered and threatened species of turtles will be captured and killed if this bill if passed. Ie:the  Endangered Bog Turtle and  the Threatened  Blanding’s turtle.
1.      Turtles are already  vulnerable to an existing  multitude of threats such as loss of habitat,  mortality rates of pregnant females crossing roadways, high  hatchling  death rates etc. Killing snapping turtles by traps will only increase their population loss. They need to be protected, not killed.
2.   What sort of state passes laws to make it easy to eat their state reptile, the common snapping turtle?
For those wanting to see a copy of the bill, A2490, email me at asalzberg@herpdigest.org.

Thanks. Please do it.

The hunt for British Big Cats attracts far more newspaper-column inches than any other cryptozoological subject.

There are so many of them now that we feel that they should be archived by us in some way, so we are publishing a regular round-up of the stories as they come in.

The worldwide mystery cat phenomenon (or group of phenomena, if we are to be more accurate) is not JUST about cryptozoology. At its most basic level it is about the relationship between our species and various species of larger cat. That is why sometimes you will read stories here that appear to have nothing to do with cryptozoology but have everything to do with human/big cat interaction. As committed Forteans, we believe that until we understand the nature of these interactions, we have no hope of understanding the truth that we are seeking.

    The Gonzo Daily - Sunday
    It is Sunday so it's doggerell day
    the time I let my inner muse play
    and amuse myself with stupid rhymes
    as I always do at about this time
    I was up stupidly late last night
    recording music then getting tight
    my nephew and I were up past four
    and it was even worse the night before
    So I have news for you my friends
    I'm gonna spend the rest of this holiday weekend

There are also new shows from the peculiar multiverse of Sub Reality Sandwich (this week they are in their submarine off the coast of Australia with special guest Lyn Paul) from Friday Night Progressive, and from the multi-talented Neil Nixon at Strange Fruit and a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and Victorian flues (OK, no 19th Century heating ducts, but I got carried away with things that rhymed with OOOOS) than you can shake a stick at. And the best part is IT's ABSOLUTELY FREE!!!
    The full list of artists in #79 is Yes, Chris Squire, Rick Wakeman, Billy Sherwood, Jon Davison, Steve Ignorant, Ken Pustelnik, The Pink Fairies, Led Zeppelin, Sir Paul McCartney, David Gilmour, The Beach Boys, Mick Harvey, Judge Smith, Michael des Barres, Merrell Fankhauser, Galahad, Auburn, Liz Lenten, Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, Wise Williams, Barbara Dickson, Keith Levene, Marianne Faithfull, Grace Slick, Transatlantic, Sub Reality Sandwich, Friday Night Progressive, Jean Philippe Rykiel, Joey Molland, David Jackson & Rene van Commenee, Pierre Moerlen’s Gong, Clearlight, Planet Earth Rock ‘n’ Roll Orchestra, Kevin Ayers and the Whole World, Tumblewild, Hollis Brown, PFM, Richard Stellar, Clepsydra, Marie Osmond, Donny Osmond, Carlos Santana, Justin Bieber, One Direction, Elvis Presley, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Lives & Times, Twelfth Night, Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows

    The Gonzo Daily - Monday
    Today is a day I have been nervous about for ages. I have my interview with those jolly nice ATOS people to see if I am disabled or not. I would have thought that the answer was fairly self evident, but the only person that I know who sailed through this process without any problems died about six weeks later. Then again I don't actually KNOW that many people who are disabled (we don't tend to live in ghettos you know) and so the figure is probably statistically irrelevant. I would, however, be grateful if anyone who cares would keep their fingers crossed at 3:45 this afternoon.

Day 769 – Camphill living

Perspective on living in a ecological farm

Camphill villages is ecologically driven villages and farms and communities that is suited and designed to people with disabilities and needs, who don’t usually fit into the larger hectic/capitalistic society/system. Personally I am diagnosed with schizophrenia.

My camphill life is structured so I can work my way through my schizophrenia with walking with the tools of

I just realized that from me living on a ecological, camphill farm and village it gives me the opportunity to have structure. HUH ! We all need some sort of structure and organizing to function optionally. To me structure is like a pattern of organizing – it gives me a sense of control in my living. And after that freedom within the application/task !

I live in a camphil village in the south west of Norway. I have lived here since 01.07.2016. Let me tell you that life here is truly swell. Now there are so many different ways to be living life here on this earth and I would say I am truly grateful for living where I am and under these conditions that is present.

It gives me routines and structure. I provides me with cultural and spiritual/emotional insight. It serves me the best and healthiest of food. It grounds me with good work for the body. It gives me inspiring and touching and dear talks and interactions. It provides me with very dear friendship and colleges and hugs, and it is a international touch to it with people here from all corners of the world.

Life here is season based. And there are things like Bible study groups and practice of Christian tradition. This is of course voluntary if ones chooses to participate or not. I find the Bible study group very interesting – I get to share my insights and perspective from this important historical script.

Now in the spring I can walk outside and pick my food of herbs from the garden. I can go swim in the fjord or in a freshwater stream, and enjoy a talk, a flower, a goat … on my way to do so.

There are currently goats, sheep, cows, chicken, birds, bees, and cats here. They provide me with honesty, insight , groundednes, stability, and realness, awareness and strength – besides the meat, milk, honey and eggs that is also on my plate.

We are very sufficient with dairy products, meat, some herbs, some fruits, berries and also a lot of vegetables. This awareness is awesome and it brings up gratefulness and humbleness within me.

Camphill living with interacting with animals is very therapeutic. A goat will “tell” you straight. The animals, are honest and real, they are not mind based like us humans. They don’t have our obsessive thinking, so they are more stabile and here, firm, grounded, sound as physical and natural. Something I know that we humans must learn sooner or later…

I am grateful for my living in this camphill. Some of the traditions is maybe not of my liking, but there is room to discuss and debate most things. The antroposofic way is known to be a alternative way of living in Norway. Most of it is very cool and down to earth. Either way we can debate practice and reach common ground. The environment and the ecological policy is very appealing to me and I would imagine to all people. The camphill way is by all means a way for the future. I don’t agree to some of the Christian/religious traditions, but we can work through it and come to agreements.

The way of living is simple, and structured and rich. I recommend to find a camphill near you, and become friends with them, visit them and test it out. There are camphill villages mostly in Western Europe, North America, but also in Russia, South – Africa and India.

Enjoy your investigation of camphill !

Day 770 – Cold water experience

When I go to sauna which I love/live to do… I usually enjoy a cold shower in the breaking out of the heat from the sauna. To me public baths are sacred lol … there is a very ordinary and very usable sauna and shower, with swimming hall to it, 30 minutes drive from here where I live. I use to go there on thursdays evenings, for swim – which is just me playing and fooling around in water 100 % embracing it and enjoying myself in the water.

Later I go out of the swimming hall, and I enter the showers, and the sauna. Now the sauna might be very warm, the way most like it. So I have grown into the habit of showering a very cold shower once or twice during my sauna – or breaking up my body heat experience with cold water.

To step under that cold water, from having spent some minutes totally hot in the sauna, is peculiar. I guess I can compare it to birthing myself – again. My breathe become fast and rapid, like intense, almost like a obsession or possessing of mind and body. And that is mostly it, to mind myself to breathe, while under the cold water. I simply breathe and again – embrace the water and the experience.

I have learned that it is healthy, particular to the skin to have cold and hot changes, like with showers. It trains the skin at closing and opening the poors. It assists the skin at its service to the body. And the skin is a very important part of our body. Closing and opening of poors is a important thing to really train – with cold and hot water. It is a test to self and how much you know yourself, in the physical.

I can also have similar experience if I take a dip in the ocean, dipping in the cold water (if it is cold) and coming up again, and feeling reborn. Like totally fresh and “new”. I mind myself to embrace the experience and to sense it all as I breathe and ground myself. Awareness of self honesty is also important, that makes me more sane and aware of where my focus is.

Cold and warm showers changes is also recommended, after having cleared of all soap, to turn it really cold, and then after some seconds (30 + seconds…) turn it warm again – exercise for the skin. To open and close.

I truly recommend to experiment and investigate hot / cold water on skin, remember to breathe, don’t burn yourself and you will be fine !

Enjoy embracing the water !

Day 771 – the cereberus of schizophrenia – mind storage

Being schizophrenic I bear 3 or 4 minds. That is right. 3 or 4 minds (!) that always wants its own demand and piece of the cake; the physical & the being. 3 minds that together have a core and design (that I currently see as self judgment/rebars/metal – from my programing of being) locked in their position and placement within my mind/total self experience (see drawing) 3 personalities, and one mind (4rth) who controls or governs the other 3. From my programming/schizophrenia I have learned that all these (4 minds) wants to be in control of the totality of me/minds/physical/being. And they fight for it. They have a war inside my head over being the supreme mind… a psychosis/possession. Like a Cerberus that we know from In Greek mythology (see picture)

this is how schizophrenia is experienced to millions of people

Mind as they are, are energy systems. They are energy and they depend on more energy. If I can delete my addiction to energies, I can free myself from my Cerberus/Schizophrenia/mind and the minds control. This is easier said than done. But; It can be done if I work on the very finest of therapeutic and curative care: self forgiveness. Together with being aware of my physical, living words, there is a fuck-load of applications that have been developed and cultivated by desteni during the years. The finest of psychology, behaviorism, self awareness and self healing tools/applications.

You see I have schizophrenia and… schizophrenia is a particular design. Like a recipe. It have been placed onto me before I was born. Why ? Long story , but if you ask me private, I can share with you why I am schizophrenic.

Studying the core elements and foundations of being human, sound, life, energy, mind, consciousness, light, dark, colors, darkness, polarity, emotions, time, space, the physical, the being, earth, relations, empowerment, self forgiveness, responsibility, money, words, animals, the universe, quantum and so on… this is some of what I have been studying the last 5 years.

You see I ask question with my living, question everything, I realize that for the world to change : I need to change. There is no other way. I want there to be responsibility, forgiveness, purpose, empowerment, real care, prosperity, life support, equality, oneness, honesty, solutions, peace and freedom and so on… for all life on this earth and I will not stop what I am doing before I see this is taking place. It boils down to equality and oneness – what is best for all.

So what I question myself is how to make my schizophrenia livable and to something less of pain and burden to myself. Well there is a lot of therapeutic tools and things I can enjoy and savor to do. Like drawing. Expressing, vlogging, blogging, studying and reading. I very much like reading a good book – so I do that. I read a good book or a good blog. Or I write a post to myself like this. It might sound simple, but to many it takes some to actually do it, and in boredom and mental despair they end up drinking and doing porn… etc, etc, etc.

It is about becoming physical, and to nurture from there the being and by that math to stand, eternal, equal and one to all and everything, without bias and without judgment – because you/I have embraced it and forgiven it; as self and made it part of self. Just like neo in matrix – he becomes it all… he takes 100% responsibility and does not separate self from anything (!) else. Not the lady in read, not money, not imaginations, quite simply no separation it is all one and self… do you see where I am at ? Because thinking and thoughts is per definition a separation. It is a sabotage of self. So bring everything back to self and forgive. You would be amazed of the power you have and the qualities you possess. Physical is always stronger than mind. It is you and me as physical awareness, self direction and self honesty that can ultimately become the drivers and creators of our own living.

Again to stand equal and one hand in hand with all human beings. Maybe that is not your cup of tea ? So we all have quite some layers of programming to deal with. We all have things in our lives that possess us, again self forgiveness is key – to become physical.

So for me to walk with schizophrenia is quite challenging. Luckily I live in Norway where I have care and support from a welfare state – that nobody have ever seen before – it is that good. It makes sure I can walk a healing process, and have a life in decency – no luxury but a decent living. So I can make and share such a picture of my schizophrenia – to make it less terrifying to me who lives with it.

If you are wondering and have questions please drop me a line

Day 772 – Falling in love with MMT – Modern Monetary Theory

Falling in love with MMT – Modern Monetary Theory

There is many series and videos on you-tube (YT) about MMT. The first 3 videos in this series I find totally breath taking. Now, I have been listening to many different conspiracy theories and tales that float out there in the global thought/conscious arena, of what is money and structure so, and I realize that much of it is based on paranoia, fear and emotions. As long something it is mentioned it exists. This means that we are truly creators of all that is. The good the bad and the ugly. We can change and I am convinced that understanding MMT can help us take some real turns on the wheel… it is simply to see and realize “what – is – what” of structure and design of money.

Please give time to study MMT. Modern Monetary Theory.

It is a real kicker once you get it.

So what made me fall in love with MMT ?

It is to see and realize that the (US) money system, is actually very, very supportive structured and designed – it is however misused by bankers and politicians. The USA money system is designed and created to give people money. To grant people their money. That is its purpose. To have money circulating freely among its citizens. And that is why for example that when there is 15 trillion in pension funds, there is equally 15 trillion in US debt. This debt does not mean anything in particular negative to either state, people, or government. It just is. For the us population to have pensions. I would recommend to listen to the videos from YT to understand one of the very core things about this system that is that debt in its form is not dangerous or bad. No there should be debt with the government so that the people have money. This math is soooo simple it is hard to see. In order for the people to have money the government need to be in debt. It is only corrupted politicians idea that think that debt is bad and wrong and stupid… a part of their programming and brainwashing. I have been thinking the same myself about debt. Thinking it is wrong/bad/negative for a state/government to be in debt. Failing to see that from this government debt, the people of this nation, are secured money. This is a fuckings critical point to get. Because even if the digits says minus, and “negative” that is a very core value to the people – to give them money…from the government who then is in debt. It seem like most people and politicians don’t get this. All they see is the minus and then they turn red/paranoid. But the minus of whatever dollars (USA) is securing that there is money among the people. Darnest thing !

Can you see the math… boy was it easy… huh ?

The debt is just there… to make sure the people have money. It does not do anything particular (more than so) at all. The spending and sharing, among people, of these trillions is the big question. This is today left to politicians (and bankers) to handle, and to be honest they suck at it. Because the politicians are programmed and brainwashed. Plain and simple. And that goes for all of us… including myself, we have all be had by our own minds, thoughts, ego, imagination, parents, culture, believes, and so on. We are all equally responsible for this. “This” meaning all what takes place on this earth… all of it.

Enjoy learning about MMT – let’s change the game !

Day 773 – Anger – why me

Recently I was facing some anger points at my doctors office. I was going to the doctor, for a appointment, to have my shot, and to talk about my medications. A regular thing. I had made the mistake of creating expectations of how and what it was going to be like at the doctors.

At the doctor’s office the play outs where not what was established as expectations within me. First thing for me to react on was the radio in the waiting room. I was annoyed beyond, that it was on and it was broadcasting, playing, and I very much felt bothered by the radio there, that I would judge as not needed for at all. Like surface talk and cozy-talk and you know those talks on the radio that does not mean fuck all they just talk to try to give you a false sense of worth and moment. Man was that not right for me then. I was called in to my doctor, and I would shake his hand as customary.

Later I was also angry because I was not getting my point and my opinion through to my doctor or at least I felt like that, I felt misunderstood, beaten and battered. On top of this my credit card did not work lol.. so I had to go to a ATM machine to withdraw and come back to pay after my appointment. It was a very upsetting experience all together. It was like little explosions and grim faces in my head, anger faces pictures and experiences in my head/mind.

Later when I was leaving the doctor’s office, and also looking back, I would see more clearly how I was going into anger. I could like take a step back within, and look into myself being in anger, both in the moment and later, and I would ask myself why and am I so mad, this is not real, why, why…? Like the experience I had of being in anger was not real. Out of the body experience and witnessing myself inn reactions from without as it was playing out. Seeing how I hurt myself with anger, like a movie, a very strange experience, feeling helpless then in the moment but soon starting to forgive the experience as I left the office and headed home. So my mind played me for a fool and I was upset up by my suppressed fear. It was not pleasant – and it was not real.

So my whole going to the doctor experience was very unpleasant and rather sad all summoned together. I know that anger has its origin in fear, and I would have this particular fear of being left out of the cool crowd since I take my medications. Anger has its root in fear and it is really fear being energized and pushed and channeled. If you truly want to understand anger the links below are priceless.

Luckily I know that there is lots of support on for anger. There is a in particular a specific self forgiveness file with words to read to self or to be read for. I recommend that one. If you purchase this product there is two items for you to download, a written paper to read and a sound file to listen to. If you get this product I can recommend to read the self forgiveness sentences loud to self – to play with sounding the words. And also to just relax – lay down on a sofa and be with your body while listening to the self forgiveness spoken.

Also … just go to the search bar in and write in whatever thing that weigh in on your heart. It is worth to check out and it have assisted me greatly though the years.

this is also one of the many products about anger on ... rt-part-72

Enjoy and enjoy breathe

Day 775 - The living word

What words will I use here in this text ? Who knows.. I will use words that I know of, to make my point understandable and digestible by you, the reader, about my certain topic. I will use words to describe a example, and to connect and relate different expressions, statements, styles, and parts of my text together. From what I already know. I will also challenge myself with trying more new and/or advanced vocabulary and constructs, to further reach out there, with my words.
The words I choose are based on my past programming me, first being a child and youngster growing up until today. What makes me to precisely me at this moment. To understand this dimension it is important to understand how humans are programmable, and within that how mind works. It is a study of a life time, and you would be totally amazed of what you could find realize and discover about just you!

Humans are programmable. Just imagine how much money is spent on advertisement. It goes beyond imagination. There are some very, very accurate documentaries about this topic. The century of self by Adam Curtis is one of the very finest. It lets us know how the first spin doctors of commercials and consuming culture was operating within or from the field of psychology and what made the human mind of programming. The social experiment of “milgram test” is another proof of how easily swayed the human mind is, to obey to for instance authority or given rules. To understand the world we live in with its rather chaotic news and happenings it is important to know how the human mind is programmable, hardwired, complex and very, very much like the PC, computer and inn detail constructed. There exist not such a understanding of the world politicians today. So we have leaders that are really not our true leaders. A true leader would know what the human mind consist of. How consciousness operates, that we are programmable, and so on.

The fact that the human being is programmable should be something for a jaw-drop. We have let us sway by ego and thinking into this state of war and greed, pollution, harm and abuse. The words that describe our daily reality is not nice words. We are all often tormented and haunted by evil thoughts, and conspiracy, imagination, fears, anger, ego, sadness, blame, nervousness, depression, believes, perceptions, projections, opinions …. and the list goes on. These emotional fucked up states is one of the very core things that keep mind in its power position of governing the self within mind authority. Though you can’t see it (the mind) you can see its outflow and effect in the daily life and our patterns of addiction, behaviors and/or abuse. This state makes us go angry and spiteful against another. It is everyone’s great loss. And it is rooted in human slaving to mind, slaving to ego, slaving to thinking and slaving to polarity/energies. This here is what we all should be taught at school. This is basic mind functions. That makes this world into the chaos it is. With the projected evil thoughts, imagination, fears, anger, ego, sadness, blame, nervousness, spite that is all mirrored into the rest of existence. Into addictions, war, rape, murder, child abuse, poverty, pollution, crimes, hunger, sickness, abuse of animals and inequality. The projecting/thinking loop is doing its thing; and it is sabotaging life. The one reflects the other and we have to start with our self. When I change, the world changes. If I want to see a specific change, I must then live that specific change. For real. And that is how we can alter it all, one by one, breathe by breathe, starting with our self, locally and be that change. To for-give the spite, fear, anger, depression, superiority, angst, blame, and all that and then change from it. I am not saying it is easy, but it has to be done. The change involved is inevitable. Life is aware and we are rolling and moving. Then if we all can pick up doing this, for – giving our self (it is the greatest gift to self) – then the world changes. It is a awesome trick.

Consider this; it is easier to brainwash a person that it is to convince that person that it has been brainwashed. That is simply fucked up beyond – and it goes to explain the chaos we are inn. Fact is we are systems, walking mind – zombies, very much like the computer.

Here I find living words a very cool support to me and my day to day living. This moment I focus of the word “benevolent”. It is a very interesting word to me, and there are things with my relationship to this word, that is emotional and somewhat reactive – those emotions and reactions I can forgive, I can for-give within myself, learn, grow, understand and change myself within and as this living this word benevolent….

Day 776 – spite and backchats of mind

Spite : thinking of the fizzy drink “sprite”, when you in your aunt’s wedding, had 3 glasses of coke, you could balance it out in your secret mind /polarity games with a glass of sprite. Making it even to self, inn childish mind games. lol.. I have been living with lots of such mind games.

Spite is, on the other hand, a thing far from the fizzy drink. The health and living damage – differences and similarities, of spite and sprite, is worthy of books and PHD’s and education.

Spite is that “something is fucked up – so I spit at whatever”, spite is like a judgment and a anger act. Taking a piss at something in “spite” and anger.

The last couple of days I have been having backchats in my mind/head, like these what shall I say, judging and critical thoughts and projections about other beings. It is not nice and it just makes me sad and scared to experience the old backchat dimension of my mind. I had sort of parked that and thought (!) to myself well no more backchats for me; huh ! So my nature strikes back with backchats in spite. Judging and bullying words about my fellow man. Not a cool thing to experience at all.

It was happening today when I was talking to “Hans”. And we were talking about a chore or something, and then suddenly, a voice/backchat appears in my head, saying “You fucking’s retard” or something similar to that. It just came up in my head from nowhere. I mean it is like the words from “Trailer park boys” or “South – Park” or “Beavis and Butt-head” – kind of talking and you might say programming of mine. And it would play out just like a sneaking energy within my mind, creeping in on me like Loke, shapeshifting in the mythology. And it would almost tip me of my chair, I was so disturbed. And the mechanics and design of it was old machinery and programs running deep in my mind on polarity and its energies. So a solution would be to avoid the mind dimension, and focus on the body/physical what is here. Mind/head is just imaginations and energies. Physical is here and living – breathing.

So I will work on self forgiveness, on this spiteful backchat episode. Enjoy :

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself for failing to see the leak within my mind, that would spill like oil into the waters of my being, polluting my insides with backchats like being mean and cold hearted to Hans, within backchats in my head/mind, and within this I forgive myself for having accepted and allowed myself for taking part in this backchat in my mind.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to fear to face these programs of spite and “fuck all” character that would bloom within me, and that I should simply interrupt and delete the thought/character/backchat by focusing on my breathe and at the same time grounding myself, where I look back and I judge myself for not paying enough attention to myself and my leak or poison within mind.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to instead of brushing of the backchats and sort of neutralizing it, and removing it from myself with breathe, I was rather shocked and scared – and in that giving the energy/spite more power over me.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to feel powerless in facing spite and backchats.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to fear my own inside.

I realize one of the ways to not let spite and backchats win my attention is to not give it that – attention, by not being focused on my head/mind with the programs – but rather my body and physical else. Also to change myself and not be manipulative and to try to control the given situation. Be more flexible – that is what I am looking for within this.

Here (below) is a life review, a review of the life, of someone who have walked a life with a spiteful mind, that has died and is sharing their story through the interdimensional portal. How does spiteful thoughts emerge, what are the programing that makes us go into spite ? How to stop going into spiteful and manipulative thinking ? The psychology of how spite is built up within mind.

It explains here the experience a being had walking with spite. The games we play with manipulation and spite, always wanting things my way, trying to control a situation. How do we change from spite ?

Check it out: ... ife-review

Here is another interview from eqafe about spite:

The core creation of spite within the human experience. What are the relationships within the process of spite in the physical and the mind etc…

Really interesting and deep going stuff, about the detailed metaphysics of man and spite. This one really strikes the core of it: ... s-part-174

Day 777 – Heart of Matter

Heart of Matter

a series by Jack

If you want more of Jack : you can check out some of his earlier productions on YT:

History of mankind, by desteni

What really matters !??

Here is the interview that I talk about :

In this very fine interview (!) I learn from Jack, a inter-dimensional being: (I can tell you more of him if you ask me) about how I/you can express self more honest, to take more part in life on this earth. For myself to dare to be more lighthearted, to slow down and be more real (!) – and to really be responsible with my every breathe. That is right with my breathe – who I am as breathe is what is created. You might say “who I am as breathe” – what sort of language is this ? It actually holds great potential and value. To understand breathe (!!!) which is worthy a life time study, we can look at religion, and the Bible. It tells us in the Bible that Jahve/Yahweh (or God) is the same as our breathe, breathing is equal to Jahve/God… meaning my breathe is equal to God. Now, if this brings up programming of religious believes and polarities, within you – please drop that. Forgive it within self. You see with breathe we are creators. We create and manifest our own reality, and I don’t think it is a good idea to call myself God – though I have creational abilities. In the series of this interview Jack further tells us about how we can create change with our self, right where we are. Right here & now where we are at: we can create change. You know it and I know it. We can do that extra thing to make the situation and the world just a little bit better for our self and our neighbor.

This interview tells me that I have the possibility to be more responsible, daring, loving, lighthearted, and honest with my word/world, my life and my creation. I don’t want to abuse that awareness… do you ? So this is about documenting self further. To be that living change and to share how, when and where you or me go through changes. To share with the world ones empowerment. To write, film and capture ones living changes – and share it with as many as possible. Please…. there is no need to criminalize or over – expose self. There are tools and ways to write, express, ones issues without doing “damage”. Your blog might be anonymous.

Point is to get the message out for people to be able to pick up how YOU change. Your insight and experience is worth something to other people. Lets expand and evolve ! We are one humanity – that right there is a awesome starting point !

(for a blog series etc)

We all can do THAT little thing more for a greater good ! Agree ??

Thanks for reading, enjoy:

Martyn had a great birthday, started at home, with lots of cards, and a present from his Mum,went into Chichester for the day, shopped , and had lunch in a gorgeous pub near the playing field. He picked up an new phone on the way out, as his old one had died the night before, came home and ate while binge watching "Top of the Lake " China girl. Tim and Caz popped in with cards and presents, then watched last nights episode of Game of thrones , and thronecast afterwards. :D
I bought him a huge heavy chainsaw cut Lion , who he has called Clarence, he aught to go in the garden , and I had covered him in linseed oil ( the Lion not Martyn ) but he now seems to have a spot at the bottom of the stairs, as he has a flat top to his mane, he makes a great stand, ideal for mail and the odd mug of tea. :D
Today he has gone into town to have a hair cut, and were finishing the living room decorating today ( juat a bit more painting to do ) and hopefully the guy re doing the livingroom floor and shelving will arrive on Wednesday/Thursday to start ripping up the old, and fitting the new.

Hi all,
Less is More...more or less?!
Summer is almost here and we are all looking forward to the next Marillion project. The band are to record a new Studio 'Acoustic' album due for release in Autumn 2009. This album will be supported by an Acoustic Tour.
You can check out the Tour dates as they are announced at:
We will be bringing you exclusive updates on the recording process as it unfolds so watch this space, there will be loads of great stuff coming your way.
For those who can't wait that long we have chosen to feature the 1999 Album 'Unplugged At The Walls' on the website. We feel this album really shows the band at their best in acoustic mode. We have added sound clips from this album on the site so you don't have to take our word for it.
To make way for new merchandise, there are some products which are being re-stocked for the last time, so get in quick while they are still available. Any 'Happiness Is The Road' related merchandise will be winding down soon, the last batch of 'Signature Range' T-shirts are due soon but once they are gone we will not be re-stocking so get these while you still can.
We are hard at work on our new range of Marillion merchandise which will be even bigger and better than before, we will let you know as soon as these items become available.
Many thanks for all your letters and pictures from the Marillion weekends in Holland and Canada. The response from you all was incredible. We really appreciate your continued support and are looking forward to the next one. You can see some pictures and a selection of messages from fans and the band at:
More stock of 'This Strange Convention' the live DVD from the Convention 2007, has now come in and is now available to buy from the Racket Store http://www.marillion.com/music/dvd/tsc.htm
We are also pleased to announce three new CD releases from EMI which are available to 'Pre-Order' at the Racket Store from today http://www.marillion.com/shop/music/index.htm#retail

    I am working on a dungeon for my play by post 1e ad&d game. Its a small area under some small ruins. The surface ruins area is about 50' x 30'.

    Not used to making small maps. I did try Annual Dungeon Tiles, but its seems it wont work for what I envisioned.

    What I'm looking for are plain stone floors, rooms about 20' x 20', maybe some very small niches in the walls.

    Any suggestions ?

    Have you tried some of the geomorphs, Jim? CA39 (March 2010) has a range of options that might suit. CA39 Example 5 CC3.FSC has some plain grey stone floors, for example, if you wanted to avoid flagstones, with 5-foot corridors and rooms down to 10 x 10 feet.

    I took a quick look, it might work for what I want. I did notice some Dungeon annuals says what size floor plan they are good for, but most don't, when looking at them in the Wizard.

This is a fun video to watch showing a time-line view of the history of anime, depicting the various changes to style, color, quality, approach, etc. More of a dramatic trailer-like feel to it than an AMV but fun to watch never-the-less.

We're quite confused about all the versions past days and weeks. We downloaded and installed 10.0.1004.561, after applying the patch we went back to 10.0.1004.493. Later we got a patch "562", meanwhile there's a new release 10.0.1009.x and patch 570...............

Where are all the release notes gone (10.0.1004.x fully missing?!) ?

Dear Henning,

We have previous released the version 10.0.1004.X but at the same time hotfix was not released, due to which your version was changing to 10.0.1004.493, this will be corrected shortly.

And due to unavoidable circumstances we have to release version 10.0.1009.568 and completely discontinue version 10.0.1004.x.

Along with the release version we have uploaded new hotfix with version

Do let me know if you have any other query.

I am a 30-year-old single mom from Whitby. My husband died in an accident few years ago. Recently, I’ve been suffering from different dental diseases like swollen and receding gums, bleeding etc. I then consulted a dentist in my locality. He warned me if bone loss occurs, multiple teeth will fall out and before that happens it has to be cured by doing periodontal disease treatment. Hearing this, I was terrified. My kid is only 6 years and if all my teeth are gone I will look like a granny. So, can anyone of you help me? I am not so educated and don't know much about this treatment? Is it effective? Is the disease permanently curable? Is it expensive? Waiting for your valuable replies. Thanking you in advance.

Dear Michele,

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your husband. And your current dental issues. I am not a dentist but I would strongly suggest seeking out a second or third opinion. I would Google dentists in your area and read the reviews. Not all dentists are created equal and some will financially take advantage of patients. Please consider consulting the dental association in your area and hopefully they will have more information about the treatment you were offered. I hope you will find the answers you are looking for.

Is it possible for a force bilinear/trilinear mipmapping option to be added to the code, to go with the antialiasing that's currently implemented?

The 3D models would look much better at a distance with mipmapping (I used to play the game with this option forced back in the day). Whilst mipmapping used to be able to be forced at a driver level, the newer nVidia drivers don't have this option anymore. As such, it would be nice to have it built into the ResidualVM application itself.

Here's an example of what a difference mipmapping makes to 3D textures as they get further away, reducing pixelation as the available resolution to display the texture decreases:

Hello people!

I've written a little xboxdrv script to play Grim Fandango through ResidualVM on Linux using an Xbox 360 controller.
Maybe it's not a full solution to the controller support problem, but for someone it might be a more comfortable temporary solution than using the keyboard.

I've set the script up to use both the left analog stick and the d-pad for movement with camera-relative mode in mind, but I personally preferred to play with character-relative mode and using the D-Pad alone for maximum precision.

I've also mapped the other buttons as follows:
    - Left shoulder button: examine
    - A: use, select, enter
    - B: pick, put away
    - X: run
    - Y: inventory
    - Start: pause
    - Back: Esc (exit from menus)
    - Home (big Xbox button): main menu

Anyway, if you don't mind reading and editing a few lines, you can very easily suit your own preferences/needs.
You can find full xboxdrv scripting documentation at this link

Everything you need to run it is written in the comment at the top of the script.

That being said, I'll just leave this here...

Enjoy! :wink:

  1. 2018 MiLB draft results thread

    It's not like he did one stupid thing, he did a lot of stupid things. That said, I agree that he is being discounted a lot but there are still overall question marks. He dominated rookie ball last year but he was 21. I'm more curious where you would have taken him? To me i'd take him over Carlson, Crouse, Bukauskas, Baz but would rather have Peterson, Faedo, and Pearson over him.
  2. 2018 MiLB draft results thread

    Note mine but Ralph from Razzball posted the first round of one he did the other day on Twitter which I found helpful because the idea of Hiura or Ramos lasting to the double digits seems impossible to me.
  3. Keeper help

    Out of those, I'd go Smoak and Weaver. Story at $2 is tempting as I think he is good for a bounce back but it's hard to argue with the power that Smoak showed and Weaver has fairly high upside for $2.
  4. 2017-2018 Off-season and Hot Stove Thread

    It's official No word on the return yet
  5. Noah Syndergarrd trade dynasty

    I would not do the deal. Not necessarily because I don't think it's enough but I don't think it's enough of a win now move for you. Faria has been really good but he is still a rookie and there is still plenty of time for the league to figure him out. Albies and Jimenez are good dynasty league pieces but they are still risks. I do like Bauer for the rest of the year but if you are playing for now, I would try to get better starting pitching than just flipping Syndergaard for what are essentially extra pieces.
  6. Trevor Bauer or Sean Manaea? WHIR

    Bauer. As the poster above me said, clearly something is wrong with Manaea. Bauer seems like he is actually starting to put something together after all of this time of expectations.
  7. Aaron Nola vs Jon Lester **WHIR**

    Nola. If you end up dropping him anyway in an eight team league you should be able to find someone else better. Both are serviceable but go with the hot hand since there is depth on the wire.
  8. Lucroy or Ramos ?

    Both are kind of a gamble but i'd probably go for Ramos. Supposedly they tweaked his swing and i'm a sucker for a player adjustment. Coors factor is nice with Lucroy but that only makes a difference if he starts hitting.
  9. Benintendi or Acuna?

    That's a tough one but as you said, it's all upside with Acuna. At this point it's honestly just about whether you would want to take that risk. I would probably go for Acuna just for the possible production from a fantasy standpoint but giving up Benintendi for that is tough considering how safe he is. Still, safety usually doesn't win you championships.
  10. 2018 Keeper: Rosario or Arcia

    I would take Rosario. I don't trust the power that Arcia is displaying and think Rosario will get on base more frequently.
  11. Story for prospects

    I would rather have Sheffield. At the very least, Sheffield has the luxury of being a Yankees pitcher and there is some hype involved in that. The deal is interesting in that Kingery is a similar prospect to Story a couple of years back (was overlooked and gained more and more interest as he kept overperforming). Tyler O'Neill's stock has fallen pretty dramatically now that he is in STL with a crowded outfield. Overall, i'd probably keep Story but it's close and the main reason is that Story has the Coors factor. I would understand making the deal but I don't think I would do it.
  12. Gregorious or Bregman ROS points

    I'd go with Bergman. As mentioned, he is starting to heat up. Both players hit in good line ups and since it is only a stop gap until Turner comes back, I would try to catch the production that Bregman is offering at the moment.
  13. Minor trade - Which side?

    Points league, I would definitely keep your side. The wheels have been falling off Nova lately but he is usually good for around 6 IP which matters in a points format. Couple that with McHugh who could be decent and Fedde who the Nationals actually need to be good, I would rather have that then a closer who might not have a job, a young Coors pitcher, and Whit Merrifield.
  14. Must add prospect?

    If you are looking in terms of highest ceiling, Brinson definitely has the highest. Rosario has the highest floor as he is viewed more of a safer prospect and his defense will always keep him in the lineup. Brinson has the chance to be a legitimate 20/20 player.
  15. Drop the Hoskins Stash for a Honeywell stash?

    I'd keep Hoskins in either a redraft or dynasty league. Dynasty league a case could be made for Hoskins but ultimately I would go with the hitter. As far as redraft, I don't believe the Rays will promote Honeywell this year due to their depth and the fact that they usually take their time seasoning players in the minors.

Pet textures

TheGingerbread2TheGingerbread2 Posts: 6
edited February 2017 in General Modding
Greetings everyone!

I havent spoken nor written anything in English for ages, but I will try to do my best.

I recently decided to have a little fun with Torchlight 2 by creating my own custom modifications in GUTS. At first I decided to create my own custom fantasy Pets (Ysera and Lightning Hawk). I was successful to edit Vyrax textures (changing the color) in the DDS file by using photoshop. Now I can't seem to figure out what is the problem with the Hawk. No matter what or how I try, I can't override textures file (HAWK.DSS). When I check the mod in GUTS, textures have changed the way I made them, but when I launch the game, the hawk pet has only two original skins, and mine is not showing up no matter what. Why? Is it because i'ts a clone unit?

In general, how do I add more skins to a newly created or cloned pets?

Thank you in advance!

  • PhanjamPhanjam Posts: 3,297 ✭✭✭
    Hi GingerBreadMan.

    Do the model files for your cloned units have their own folder under MODELS? Like...

    Actual path can be different; what's important is that they have their own folder, and that folder is somewhere under MODELS.

    And do their unit .DAT files specify that they are PET units, with the line...

    Torchlight 1 Class Pack (TL1CP) Mod for TL2: Steam | RGF
  • Hi Phanjam!

    I just checked everything and everything you said seems to be correct, BUT - currently I have two pets in one mod, so both of those units are under MYMOD/MEDIA folder and each of them has their own subfolder (MYMOD\MEDIA\MODELS\PETS\MYCLONEDUNIT1 and MYCLONEDUNIT2). Does each unit has to have a completely separated path?

    As I said, the color of new Hawk textures does show up and work in GUTS when I test it, but in game it has those two original skins as the original hawk. It would even do if I could add my blue hawk as a third appearance option in game, but I dont know how. GUTS seems to be very confusing.
  • Kva3imodaKva3imoda Posts: 984 ✭✭
    In PET_HAWK.DAT file:

    This is the list of skins for the unit. Check your hawk.
    4ByzPdz.png 88pn2UZ.pngtrCrfep.png
  • Hi Kva3imoda!

    Yes. I know these are Hawk files. I picked the ''hawk_02.dss'' file, edited it, saved to desktop with a name ''pet_hawk_03.dss'', then I put that file in my mod unit folder and then tried to use that file to override those two original textures. But it doesn't work that way obviously and I think it has to do something with a fact that Hawk has TWO texture files while my custom Vyrax had only ONE file. That's why Vyrax texture edit was a success but Hawk isn't. But I don't know what I'm doing wrong. This is the first time Im trying to do something using GUTS.
  • Kva3imodaKva3imoda Posts: 984 ✭✭
    I feel that you're doing something wrong. Because such mods is the simplest type of mods.

    Ок, just add your hawk-skin to the standard Hawk Pet for tests.
    4ByzPdz.png 88pn2UZ.pngtrCrfep.png
  • Same thing. Original hawk has those same two skins in game while in GUTS it works as intended when I test it.

    Can I simply somehow add my new texture as a third option to pick in game instead of trying to override original ones all the time?

    This is the DAT file. The '''' is the name of override textures file for the original hawk. Maybe there is something ''out of place'' here?
  • Kva3imodaKva3imoda Posts: 984 ✭✭
    I think you should do this:
    Where and is your new skins. This should work 100%.

    And delete this string:
    I think it is used for ordinary monsters. Pets does not have this string.
    4ByzPdz.png 88pn2UZ.pngtrCrfep.png
  • Thank you a LOT Kva3imoda!

    Finally managed to add the new skin. I just had to manually add a new path location to the dat file.

    I think that the problem in my case was that the original Hawk contains two textures and that is the reason why GUTS doesn't recognise what textures should be overridden in the first place.

Default Re: Batman live action TV series

I think a live action would only end up being crony, and campy. But hey, who knows, if they invest it right and put the right people in, and a good budget who knows...But its not an idea I'm fond off. I'd rather they make a good cartoon series. Not fond of The Batman series, although there are some rreally good episodes, its just not consistant.

Default Re: Favorite moment in the trilogy?

In X2, When Magneto enters the fake Cerebro, up to the point he leaves. Essentially, the most capable and prepared mutant on Earth, and reversing the whole scheme of human dominance in the movie.

Nightcrawler invading the White house is a close second.

Default Re: The Joker's background?

Well, the chemical vat is. It was the origin given to him by Kane/Finger and he was always someone with permanet white skin, green hair and permanet smile. And then after the Crisis of Infinitive Earth the almost same origins were restated in The Killing Joke and then repeated/confirmed in O'Neil's 'Images' and in 2004's Gotham Nights #54. There were some other suggestions in 2000s, but they were never confirmed or definite like in the above mentioned comics and they never contradicted the chemical accident

When the prologue for TDKR was coming out, I asked if people were going to wear anything to the movie. I said I was going to wear a Warner Bros ball cap, cause you can't watch a Warner Bros movie, without wearing a Warner Bros ball cap. I got replies like, "nah, I'm gonna wear a TDK-Joker shirt, though".

Creative team decided to use SR suit as Welling was going to be shown in CGI- Superman in the finale. (IMO.)
Actually kind of this. Smallville has a lot of Donner/Singer inspiration(Superman returns S is official House of El symbol, etc) and even though Martha made the costume(out of homemade materials or kryptonian blankets) it would make more sense to use a Superman Returns like costume instead of the Dean Cain or Christopher Reeve costume.

Default Re: Latest Anime you watched? - Part 1

Cardcaptor Sakura, Episodes 1-2

I remember watching a few episodes the localized version of this back in the day when it aired on the old KidsWB block (I can't even believe I can remember that. I'm really showing my age here. God, I'm old.), so I decided to give the original, unedited Japanese version a go.

Needless to say, I'm really enjoying this. The characters are very likeable. Kero is pretty hilarious at times. And the animation during the Cardcaptor sequences is very well done. My god, the animation! I'm gonna need someone to make a .gif for me somewhere down the line.

I really hope one of the anime companies in America licenses this show so I can buy it. I would love adding this to my collection.

But do you have to watch it on your computer? Can it be watched on your blu ray player?

Default Re: Will the Rigellians appear in the Thor sequels?

This is best left to cartoon fodder.

A good idea for an animated movie or something, but not a live-action movie.

Default Re: Land of No Night

In order to protect Rulitis, Arnath explores different possibilities to take on the “Lord of the Night” without the need of sacrificing the person she cares for. She’ll do so by fighting alongside her demon subordinates known as Servans, as she grows and advances through the story.

At times, Arnath will encounter giant Jayou boss monsters, and she’ll even have to save someone from one at a point. This character will provide more information for the story to advance.

After her routine fight with the Jayou, Arnath can take a breather at Ende. This is also where your Servans reside, and you’ll get to check out their daily lives and also organize them. There’s also a way to enhance Arnath by using Blood at the Yord Altair.

The “Actualize” feature is where you use a “Yoshiro” to form contract with a new Servan. Depending on the Yoshiro typoe, you’ll get a different Servan.

While Arnath can only take on the Jayou at night, there are plenty of other activities she can do at the hotel during the day. As previously reported, there’s an arena feature that lets you test out Arnath and her Servans’ skills.
