    Hay un lugar en que todo se conecta con todo, y todo está bien como está. Hay ese lugar y en general no lo vemos. Alguien comparte la añoranza infinita por esa casa de todos, donde todo era subyugantemente mágico, y nos presenta todos los caminos por los que llegar y encontrarnos."Recuerdo claramente: había una cerca que de día era sepia y de noche se veía de un blanco primoroso. Tras la cerca, unos metros de fango rojo resbaladizo: ninguno de los invitados caía en el fango, pero no había uno que no evocara, al atravesar la cerca, la ominosidad y la vergüenza de su figura despatarrada en el barro. Por eso, el suspiro de alivio era en todos evidente, cuando llegaban por fin al césped del jardín frontal: eufóricos por haber atravesado los lodazales sin perder la elegancia, corrían el riesgo de olvidar que aún estaban a mitad de camino. Los más osados y despreocupados se apresuraban a descalzarse, y entonces se pinchaban con la multitud de abrojos que se hincaban en sus pies, emboscados entre las hebras finas del césped recortado; y corriendo desatinadamente en pos de sus zapatos se ponían al alcance de los regadores automáticos, de cuyo circuito salían inexorablemente empapados. Los más sensatos -fundamentalmente, quienes habían frecuentado ya por largo tiempo nuestra casa- atravesaban el césped caminando atentos, con su calzado puesto, evitando ser cazados por el agua. El área de césped seguía tras este primer tramo, bordeaba la casa, y alcanzaba el pequeño bosque de esos árboles cuyas hojas adoptan, en su cara que mira hacia arriba, un tono platinado, y resignan su otra faz a un color ceniciento memorioso. Pero tras el primer tramo de césped que había que salvar conteniendo las burbujas de la euforia por el éxito obtenido frente al barro, tras ese tramo en que había que proteger los pies y evitar el azote del agua, se abría ante nuestros invitados un sendero blanquísimo de cal, adornado con pequeñas piezas irregulares de mármol que delineaban sus costados. Nosotros apagábamos allí las luces, y un circuito de ventiladores se hacía cargo de la brisa: algunos comenzaban a estornudar, sobre todo las primeras veces que venían. Quizá era el aroma que esparcíamos para ahuyentar parásitos e insectos, el caso es que algunos estornudaban sin parar varios minutos de corrido, y terminaban exhaustos en alguno de los bancos que habíamos dispuesto, a esos efectos, a los costados del camino. En general, cuando recuperaban el resuello, volvían sobre sus pasos confundidos y dejaban para otra noche su intención de visitarnos. Los avisados, serpenteaban hábilmente entre las sendas de aire y llegaban eficazmente hasta el pie de la escalinata de mármol rosado y amarillo, incrustada de cuarzos enormes y piezas de metales diversos. Ante el portal de nuestra casa, los recibía una hilera de focos de mercurio que se encendían instantáneamente gracias a un sensor infrarrojo, ni bien alguien llegaba. Habituados sus ojos a la suavidad de la tiniebla, algunos se encandilaban, y el vértigo los hacía tropezar con la escalinata. Otros, miraban en derredor restregándose los ojos y de pronto se topaban con los reflejos de colores filosos de alguna pieza de cuarzo o de metal, y se quedaban absortos por un rato en las formas que veían en la luz; hasta que se recomponían y proseguían el camino, o se veían compelidos a salir y meditar, para volver a intentarlo alguna otra noche. Mas los había, muy de tanto en tanto, que llegaban preparados, entornaban a tiempo los ojos, y al pie de la escalinata miraban fijamente hacia delante: subían de a un paso seguro por peldaño, veían el portal entreabierto e ingresaban al salón de casa, donde mullidas alfombras se acomodaban en un paisaje desnudo, de paredes transparentes tras las que no había nada para ver."Allí nos encontramos ahora.

    Sudoku X;Each puzzle consists of a 9x9 grid containing given clues in various places. The object is to fill all empty squares so that the numbers 1 to 9 appear exactly once in each row, column, diagonal and 3x3 box. Killer Sudoku;Killer Sudoku is a mix of Sudoku and Kakuro. Your goal is the same as in regular sudoku: fill every row, column and 3x3 region with the numbers 1-9 once. The difference is how you arrive at those numbers. The objective is to fill the grid with numbers from 1 to 9 in a way that the following conditions are met: Each row, column, and nonet contains each number exactly once. The sum of all numbers in a cage must match the small number printed in its corner. No number appears more than once in a cage. (This is the standard rule for killer sudoku, and implies that no cage can include more than 9 cells.) Jigsaw Sudoku;The rules of Jigsaw Sudoku are similar to standard Sudoku, since you must place each of the numbers 1 to 9 (or 1 to whatever the size of the puzzle is) into each of the rows and columns. However whereas standard Sudoku also has rectangular boxes that must each contain every number, in Jigsaw Sudoku these boxes are replaced by different bold-lined shapes that must each contain every number instead. Kropki Sudoku;Kropki Sudoku puzzles add black (o) and white (o) circles to a regular Sudoku puzzle. All pairs of touching squares which contain consecutive values (such as 2 & 3 or 6 & 7) are marked with a white circle: o. Also, all pairs of touching squares which contain values where one number is exactly twice the value of the other (such as 2 & 4, or 4 & 8) are marked with a black circle: o. This applies to left/right, up/down touching only - there are no diagonal markers. All possible o and o are given, so if there is no circle between two touching squares then they are not consecutive and one is not double the value of the other.

They flee to the Valley of the Hallowed Harvest where the Eternal Autumn is celebrated as a holy sign only to find the citizens of the valley are every bit as dangerous as those they thought to escape.In the war torn north, the Dagger Falls Company is hired to discover the source of the Eternal Autumn and hopefully end it. Led by Sofea, the former North Wind Valkyrie, the company takes to the road in hopes of gleaning answers from the Thief Queen of Griffon's Rock, the mystical Ogre of the orchards, and a long-dead dragon.

    "Ghost stories don't get any better than this." --J.R. Rain Deep in a ravine in the picturesque Smoky Mountains is a very dark secret. David Hobbs, vacationing with his wife Miriam, inadvertently stumbles upon a small cloth 'keepsake' bag and a broken tooth. A human tooth. Miriam begs David to hand the bag and tooth over to park officials, but he ignores his wife's pleas and secretly keeps the 'harmless' items. The action opens a doorway that had been closed for nearly a hundred years and unleashes hell on earth, or at least hell in the lives of David and Miriam. Following the brutal murder of his best friend in Denver, and an aborted attack on his oldest son, David desperately seeks to understand why a mysterious teenage girl has chosen to terrorize him and the males closest to him. To prevent further devastation to his family and end the wanton bloodshed, he returns to the enchanted hills of eastern Tennessee, where a terrible truth awaits discovery...one that forces him to face the consequences for the unpaid sins of his ancestors. Acclaim for Aiden James: "The intense writing style of Aiden James kept my eyes glued to the story and the pages seemed to fly by at warp speed. ...Twists, turns, and surprises pop up at random times to keep the reader off balance. It all blends together to create one of the best stories I have read all year."--Detra Fitch, Huntress Reviews for "The Devil's Paradise" "Aiden James has written a deeply psychological, gripping tale that keeps the readers hooked from page one."--Bookfinds review for "The Forgotten Eden" "Aiden James writing style flows very easily and I found that "Cades Cove" snowballed into a very gripping tale. Clearly the strengths in the piece were as the spirit's interaction became prevalent with the family... The Indian lore and ceremonies and the flashbacks to Allie Mae's (earthly) demise were very powerful. I think those aspects separated the work from what we've seen before in horror and ghost tales."--Evelyn Klebert, author of "A Ghost of a Chance" and "Dragonflies" "Aiden James has a keen eye for detail and an uncanny knack for scaring the hell out of me. We are watching a master at work. "The Raven Mocker" is a nearly perfect thriller. Ghost stories don't get any better than this."--J.R. Rain, Bestselling author of the "Vampire for Hire" series "As with the previous titles I have read by this author, I found the author's writing style to be silky smooth and the main plot line to be extremely creative. The fertile imagination of Aiden James definitely knows what today's readers want to see in their stories."--Detra Fitch, Huntress Reviews for "The Vampires' Last Lover"

    What's not to love about digging and mud? Corie: tall, thin, scruffy, female, student, blondish, smart, creative, outspoken, trouble-finding, precocious (whatever THAT means), eager, mature, silly, immature, messy-roomed, imaginative, animal-loving girl ...... ....... has actual PERMISSION FROM HER FATHER to dig a hole in the front yard of her house. As an added bonus she can use the water hose, wheelbarrow, shovel, spray paint, a sign and any and all neighborhood friends she wants. After this whole, hole digging event, lots of oddness ensues not just from the aforementioned father, but from her mother, a dog walker, the police chief, the newspaper guy and the scowling town librarian. Does any good come of this at all? Well, sit down, grab a free cheese sandwich and find out. Oh! One other thing. If you ABSOLUTELY do not like reading, then read this book. It is a tad nutty, nonsensical and sometimes barely even seems like a book.If you are a parent who has a child that appears to be un-fond of reading, well, then, bribe them to try this by telling them it's about popcorn, pudding, and Popsicles. And pickles.Hey! We've just heard that this is a good read aloud book.

  • - Attachment Denies Freedom
    av Henry Templeman
    178

    Writings III: Attachment Denies Freedom is the third set of 500 diary entries by Henry Templeman in which he describes his personal observations and experiences of daily living from a point of view that does not embrace any particular belief, ideology, teaching, philosophy, or system of thought, and as a result is unbiased, unattached, and therefore undistorted and free. It is from this unique undistorted and free perspective that Templeman describes solutions to questions and problems that concern every human being, including what ends all forms psychological hurt, frustration, anxiety, conflict, and sorrow in a manner that is instant and complete, as well as what is love, death, freedom, intelligence, the ego, meditation, and what it means to come upon a dimension to life outside the measurable field of time, that is timeless, immeasurable, and therefore holy.People are fooled into embracing a particular method or technique that promises a conflict-free life at some unknown time in the future, but all techniques involve time, which means no technique can end conflict in the present moment. Templeman does not mislead the reader that any method or technique can bring about freedom, because freedom is the absence of dependence.Learn what actually and instantly brings a stop to living in conflict in the present moment, and thereby what immediately and totally destroys mental dependence, and thereby unleashes inner freedom.Find out what it means to cleanse the brain of the ego, let go of the past from moment to moment, and thereby live with unimaginable inner joy and contentment. Included in the first 100 entries are enlightening insights about: psychological conflict, dependence, sorrow, freedom, attachment, awareness, attention, the present, love, relationship, kindness, memory, the ego, meditation, sensitivity, wakefulness, the eternal, joy, reward, punishment, death, the conditioned brain, attentiveness, energy, observation, comparison, judgment, inner limitation, the brain, devotion, wonder, clarity, unquenchable curiosity, division, truth, humility, grace, worry, thought, creation, the creator, time, hurt, struggle, belief, faith, the earthly, awakening, the root of fear, the playback of thought, jealousy, possessiveness, joy, envy, frustration, and what it means to step out of the stream of human sorrow. In the next 400 entries are more extraordinary insights.Discover how the psychological attachment to thoughts about work, money, sex, and anything else, denies inner freedom, results in a life of struggle, misery, sorrow, and problem after problem, and what it means to end that attachment in real time.Find out what it means to end living attached to the limitation of thought, and start living as you have never lived before.

Man alive, we looked at that lake, and we all looked at each other. It was another Edwards, so we wheeled around, landed on that lake, taxied up to one end of it. It was a perfect natural landing field ... as smooth as a billiard table without anything being done to it". - Kelly Johnson, Lockheed's U-2 spy plane designer The essence of the event commonly known as the Roswell Crash is that someone saw something in the sky during the summer of 1947. Days later someone else found some odd foil, paper and wood on the grounds of a ranch in the New Mexico desert nearly a hundred miles from Roswell. A day or two after that, the debris was taken to a military airbase in Roswell, New Mexico, where it remained overnight before the military flew it to another airbase in Ohio. The story of the Roswell Crash tends to focus on New Mexico, not on the traveling debris found on the ground. Ironically, the Roswell Crash never happened in Roswell. That's not to say there was no 1947 crash. Something did appear on the ground that appeared to have come from the sky-but it wasn't found anywhere near Roswell. Part of what was found was eventually moved to the airbase in Roswell where it remained overnight, inspiring the name the Roswell Crash. Few things in American history are as controversial as Roswell. The one undeniable fact is that something happened near Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947, but beyond that, the facts become murky as memories and evidence lose their luster over the years. That said, the impact of an unidentified object continues to mystify residents, visitors and the curious, and it has not only put Roswell on the map but has kept it there for thousands of tourists. Unlike many aspects of other conspiracy theories, Area 51 is a frequently-documented fact. UFO seekers can theorize to their heart's content about what might have gone on there or whether Area 51 even exists, but Area 51 is quite real. In simple terms, it is a place where the United States government conducted-and continues to conduct-tests, in a remote environment where civilians are not in jeopardy and enemies from foreign countries cannot observe or sabotage weaponry or strategy the U.S. might use against them. Assuming that other countries were doing the same, the U.S. also used this remote site to test equipment like the U-2 that would make it possible to spy on other countries and for other countries to do harm to the United States. In civilian terms, it is merely a location on a map in a remote part of the Nevada desert, near the tiny hamlet of Rachel. The tiny little group of local residents is so small that one source notes that Rachel has never even been home to a post office. Roswell & Area 51: The History and Mystery of the Two Most Famous UFO Conspiracy Sites in America looks at the places that have been an endless source of conspiracies for decades. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Roswell and Area 51 like never before.
