Война - это путь обмана. Поэтому, даже если [ты] способен, показывай противнику свою неспособность. Когда должен ввести в бой свои силы, притворись бездеятельным. Когда [цель] близко, показывай, будто она далеко; когда же она действительн далеко, создавай впечатление, что она близко. Изобрази выгоду, чтобы завлечь его. Сотвори беспорядок [в его силах] и возьми его. Если он полон, приготовься; если он силен, избегай его. Если он в гневе, беспокой его; будь почтителен, чтобы он возомнил о себе. Если враг отдохнувший, заставь его напрячь силы. Если он объединен, разъедини его. Нападай там, где он не приготовился. Или вперед там, где он не ожидает. Таковы пути, которыми военные стратеги побеждают. Но о них нельзя говорить наперед. ↗

Jamie came back to the apartment one night to find her spreading a viscous fluid onto a canvas. It was threaded wtih blood. "Good God," he said. "What the hell is that?" Pia didn't bother to look up but continued to knead the clear slime across the canvas. "It's my new piece." "But what is it?" He kept pointing. He'd never seen something so disgusting in his life. And her hands were completely in it. "It's Jodie's placenta. She gave it to me. I'm going to tack it up and let it dry on this canvas. Then I'm gonna glue-gun pictures of dead fetuses onto Lucite and make them the centerpeice." "Uh huh." She raised her sticky hands to him. "It's about women, you know? The way that the world opresses them, all right? And it's about babies, and . . . I don't know . . . I just got the placenta today." "Wow, that's wow . . . that's . . ." No words for this. He scratched his chin as she spread her hands in a concentric motion across the canvas. "So, do you really think anyone's gonna want to put that up on their wall when it's done?" he asked. She scowled, displeased. ↗
Titan considers it an unequivocal privilege to be affiliated with an organization which has an extensive and established history of furnishing the security needs for the Canadian residential and business market. Protectron was incorporated in 1988 and is headquartered in Montreal, Quebec. It employs a staff of over nine hundred industry professionals and is responsible for the monitoring of over three hundred and fifty thousand subscribers throughout Canada from its four monitoring centers located in Montreal, Quebec City, Ottawa and Vancouver all of which are certified by Underwriters' Laboratories of Canada (ULC). Titan Alarm is looking forward with great anticipation to contributing to the extraordinary foundation and opportunities which Reliance Protectron has afforded through its innovative dealer program. Titan’s founder, Graham Woods, has over seven years of industry experience, the majority of which constitutes leading sales teams producing record sales figures particularly in the Canadian provinces. Approximately 300 of the sales representatives and technicians who worked for Graham at other security organizations have enthusiastically followed him to Titan Alarm to continue to benefit from his unique and inspirational leadership. Titan plans to operate in all provinces of Canada with the exception of Quebec. In addition to introducing an exceptional sales force, Titan will also employ a superior support staff to insure that its customers receive optimal customer service in every respect. Titan has also partnered with GE to deliver a state-of-the-art security system to its customers. The Reliance Protectron name is virtually synonymous with security in Canada as this organization purchased VOXCOM Security Systems in 2007 enabling it to expand its customer base exponentially. There can be no question that Reliance Protectron is an organization of unequivocal stability and the name “Reliance” is most definitely appropriate. Titan feels incredibly confident that it is able to rely upon the strength, history and solid industry reputation of Reliance Protectron as it embarks upon this exciting new partnership. ↗

Charles de Lint creates a magical world that’s not off in a distant Neverland but here and now and accessible, formed by the “magic” of friendship, art, community, and social activism. Although most of his books have not been published specifically for adolescents and young adults, nonetheless young readers find them and embrace them with particular passion. I’ve long lost count of the number of times I’ve heard people from troubled backgrounds say that books by Charles saved them in their youth, and kept them going. ↗

I make so many plans but fail at follow-through. Gemini mind once a mat for you to wipe your feet. I’d beg for it. I’d plead 'Here! I’m here waiting for you to be the one. Take my heart, my life, my air: rip them to shreds and hand them back.No need to worry. I have enough superglue and tears to keep me busy for months... ↗
Beyond the family or particular Christian tradition, how much effort do we make to consider what the Mennonites or the Episcopalians, the Baptists or the Pentecostals, the Methodists or the Presbyterians have to say to the rest of us out of their DIFFERENCES, as well as out of the affirmation in common with other Christians? As I suggested earlier, our patterns of ecumenicity tend to bracket out our differences rather than to celebrate and capitalize upon them. Finding common ground has been the necessary first step in ecumenical relations and activity. But the next step is to acknowledge and enjoy what God has done elsewhere in the Body of Christ. And if at the congregational level we are willing to say, 'I can't do everything myself, for I am an ear: I must consult with a hand or an eye on this matter,' I suggest that we do the same among whole traditions. If we do not regularly and programmatically consult with each other, we are tacitly claiming that we have no need of each other, and that all the truth, beauty, and goodness we need has been vouchsafed to us by God already. Not only is such an attitude problematic in terms of our flourishing, as I have asserted, but in this context now we must recognize how useless a picture this presents to the rest of society. Baptists, Presbyterians, and Roman Catholics failing to celebrate diversity provide no positive examples to societies trying to understand how to celebrate diversity on larger scales. ↗
