The intellectual quest is exquisite like pearls and coral,

But it is not the same as the spiritual quest.

The spiritual quest is on another level altogether,

Spiritual wine has a subtler taste.

The intellect and the senses investigate cause and effect.

The spiritual seeker surrenders to the wonder.

~ Rumi

The colour Yellow is the colour of Sunshine, Hope, and Happiness !! It stands for Freshness, Positivity, Clarity, Energy, Optimism, Enlightenment, Remembrance, Intellect, Spirituality, Honor, Loyalty, and Joy !!! ……What else do you want???

 

I personally prefer the Golden Yellow , because it makes my heart sing, like the colour White does !! Therefore, I have plenty of both representatives in the garden, which make EXCELLENT associations with all the rest strong bloom colours in the garden, like the reds , Indian pinks, and blues!! Well, I would say a very ….Mediterranean-style-coloured garden…

 

Like their close cousin the Labradoodle, Goldendoodles first widely bred in the 1990s were bred as a larger alternative to the wildly popular Cockapoo. These dogs initially worked as service animals for the blind and other people with disabilities who were allergic to standard retrievers. The designer dog breed quickly became a hit due to its exceptional temperament, intellect and trainability in addition to the curly, low-shedding coat that has become the trademark of the doodle crossbreed. If you're considering a Goldendoodle be prepared for a whip smart pup with seemingly boundless energy. This breed loves to be in its family's presence at all times, and many Goldendoodle puppies suffer from separation anxiety when left on their own for too long.

“If the mind is to emerge unscathed from this relentless struggle with the unforeseen, two qualities are indispensable: first, an intellect that, even in the darkest hour, retains some glimmerings of the inner light which leads to the truth; and second, the courage to follow this light wherever it may lead.”

„If you want to find home“, the alchemist laughed. “You have to read the old manuscripts. You have to find out the meaning of the words. Heaven does not mean a place. Cutting with a sword does not mean cutting with a sword. The sun is neither the sun nor the moon the moon, they are symbols. The sun stands for energy. Intellect. The moon stands for energy. Emotion. But not only that. The meanings go much deeper. Find out, what symbols mean. Once you know it, you can read everything that happens… your entire life…”

Der Alchemist lachte:

„Die Ewigkeit ist immer da.

Sie steht nicht nur hinter dir, sie durchdringt dich.

Du bist durch und durch Ewigkeit.

Zeit ist das Wunder.

Leben ist das Wunder.

Schöpfung ist die kosmische Zerstörung der Ewigkeit.

Bewegung erzeugt Zeit.

Bewegungslosigkeit die Ewigkeit.

Beides vergeht wie ein Atemzug.

Nichts hat jemals gedauert. Nicht einmal dein Atem.“

On a vintage children's loom, I love weaving random strands of fiber, never knowing in which direction the creation will lead my hand and mind. I had fallen in love with this multicolored ball of yarn, surprised by the way it took shape, row by row.

 

Below is the final piece which morphed unexpectedly into a Goddess of Justice. This was a "visual journaling" piece for me.

History

 

The John Rogers who bought Riverhill in 1840 was an only child, with a modest fortune, and a fine intellect. He became a classics scholar, a scientist and a friend of Charles Darwin. He was one of the first members of the Royal Horticultural Society and a patron of the plant collectors of the day.

 

He chose Riverhill because its sheltered situation offered an ideal lime free hillside where he could hope to establish newly introduced trees and shrubs. From his garden notebook, it can be seen that planting started in 1842. Subsequent generations, continued the planting and in 1910 Colonel John Middleton Rogers created what is now known as ‘The Wood Garden’ a fine collection of Japanese Maples, Rhododendrons and Azaleas. His wife, the infamous Muriel, created many additions including the now hidden Rock Gardens.

 

Until the beginning of the 2nd World War, eight full time gardeners kept Riverhill looking immaculate. Since the war years, however, a shortage of manpower and a lack of money has meant that the garden was allowed to deteriorate, with many parts of the original planting lost to everyday use and visitors.

 

Today, four generations of the Rogers family live at Riverhill,

 

The estate is managed by Edward Rogers (Great-great-great-grandson of the John Rogers who bought Riverhill in 1840) and his wife, Sarah.

  

 

Happy Macro Monday, my friends! :)))

There is something about cats that just make them seem like they don't even consider humans as a superior intellect or species. They roam around the streets doing their own thing, and we humans just get in the way.

Having said that, it took me forever to get this shot, as everytime I bent down to take a photo this little fella kept coming up to me to say hello.

So Long And Thanks For All The Fish

 

So long and thanks for all the fish

So sad that it should come to this

We tried to warn you all but oh dear

 

You may not share our intellect

Which might explain your disrespect

For all the natural wonders that grow (around you)

So long so long and thanks for all the fish

 

The world’s about to be destroyed

There’s no point getting all annoyed

Lie back and let the planet dissolve (around you)

 

Despite those nets of tuna fleets

We thought that most of you were sweet

Especially tiny tots and your pregnant women

 

So long so long, so long so long, so long so long, so long so long

So long so long, so long so long, so long so long

So long so long and thanks for all the fish

 

If I had just one last wish

I would like a tasty fish

If we could just change one thing

We would all have learned to sing

 

Come one and all

Man and mammal

Side by side in life's great gene pool

 

So long so long, so long so long, so long so long, so long so long

So long so long, so long so long, so long so long

So long so long and thanks for all the fish

Although he is known by many other attributes, Ganesha's elephant head makes him particularly easy to identify. In Hinduism, Ganesha is widely revered as the Remover of Obstacles. and more generally as the Lord of Beginnings and the Lord of Obstacles,patron of arts and sciences, and the deva of intellect and wisdom. He is honoured at the beginning of rituals and ceremonies and invoked as the Patron of Letters during writing sessions.Several texts relate mythological anecdotes associated with his birth and exploits and explain his distinct iconography.

 

The most well-known story is probably the one taken from the Shiva Purana. Once, while his mother Parvati wanted to take a bath, there were no attendants around to guard her and stop anyone from accidentally entering the house. Hence she created an image of a boy out of turmeric paste which she prepared to cleanse her body (turmeric was used for its antiseptic and cooling properties), and infused life into it, and thus Ganesha was born. Parvati ordered Ganesha not to allow anyone to enter the house, and Ganesha obediently followed his mother's orders. After a while Shiva returned from outside, and as he tried to enter the house, Ganesha stopped him. Shiva was infuriated at this strange little boy who dared to challenge him. He told Ganesha that he was Parvati's husband, and demanded that Ganesha let him go in. But Ganesha would not hear any person's word other than his dear mother's. Shiva lost his patience and had a fierce battle with Ganesha. At last he severed Ganesha's head with his trishula. When Parvati came out and saw her son's lifeless body, she was very angry and sad. She demanded that Shiva restore Ganesha's life at once.

 

Unfortunately, Shiva's trishula was so powerful that it had hurled Ganesha's head very far off. All attempts to find the head were in vain. Parvati was so enraged and insulted that she decided to destroy the entire Creation! Lord Brahma, being the Creator, naturally had his issues with this, and pleaded that she reconsider her drastic plan. She said she would, but only if two conditions were met: one, that Ganesha be brought back to life, and two, that he be forever worshipped before all the other gods. Sent Brahma out with orders to bring back the head of the first creature he crosses that is laying with its head facing North. Shiva then sent his celestial armies (Gana) to find and take the head of whatever creature they happened to find asleep with its head facing north. They found a dying elephant which slept in this manner, and after its death took its head, attaching the elephant's head to Ganesha's body and bringing him back to life. From then on, he was called Ganapathi, head of the celestial armies, and was to be worshipped by everyone before beginning any activity.

====The Hall of Doom====

 

Lex- Crane still refuses to answer me. Still, the world can not stop simply because the Scarecrow is ignoring me. There's always a Plan B.

 

Kuttler- Plan B! You mean to say you're still going through with this?

 

Lex- Noah, after all these years you still think that 'I' would change my mind? The Scarecrow may have thrown another obstacle my way, he may have through means unknown turned my men against me, but I refuse, point blank, to allow that to stop my from completing my plans.

 

Kuttler- That's it then? Nothing I can do would stop you?

 

Lex- Well... I suppose you could shoot me in the head with that gun you're holding but I doubt you really have the courage to kill me.

 

Kuttler- You'd be surprised, I sent Burnrate after Sionis and the Green Arrow-

 

Lex- Last month, yes, but that was a machine, wasn't it. You could never really get your hands dirty, could you?

 

Kuttler- I- damn you

 

*He throws the gun away in defeat*

 

Lex- Good. Now, as I was going to say before your little interruption, I want you to contact Emil Hamilton at Project CADMUS, he knows the item I'm after, so therefore it should be easy enough to procure...

 

*Thawne comes speeding down the hall towards him and throwing him to the ground, his hand around Luthor's throat*

 

Lex- This is your mutiny is it, Thawne? That makes sense, I thought I recognised your signature sloppiness. Now, if you could loosen your grip-

 

Thawne- I told him, you know. Kuttler, I mean. I said he couldn't do it.

 

Lex- Of course not, why would I walk, outside, unprotected, with a man who disagreed with me, without first confirming he would not be a threat? Really Eobard, your constant ressurections must be having a negative effect on your inferior intellect.

 

Thawne- Don't aggravate me further Lex, I could kill you-

 

Bane- Thawne! What is this treachery?

 

Thawne- Ask Luthor. You recognise this Bane?

 

Bane- Yes. One of our "Brain-Bombs". Explain.

 

Thawne- Well, I happened to dig that one out of my throat. I imagine- Yes, you have one too

 

Lex- A precaution, really. After our vote, I couldn't be sure you would go through with our plan

 

Bane- Remember this Luthor, we aren't like the rest of your lackeys, we are on the council and consequently you shall treat us as equals. If you don't... rest assured I will break you, and anyone who continues to follow you. Are we clear?

 

Thawne- That's not adequate, you can't trust his word, we're just puppets to him! You know the only way to ensure our survival would be to-

 

Bane- Killing him would do us no good and I doubt those bombs are the only leverage on us... Now, Luthor, are we clear?

 

Lex- ... Crystal. Now. If you'll excuse me... *exits*

 

Thawne- Great, Bane. We had a chance to stop him and you didn't take it!

 

Bane- I said it would do us no good. It is that simple. We would need to know what we're up against before attempting an attack against him.

Thawne- I still think we ought to have killed him. He was vunerable and-

 

Bane- That would be cowardly. I abhor cowardice.

 

Kuttler- You know, there are other ways to stop him...

  

I am... Warsman.

 

Warsman again?? How many variations does this guy have?

At least he's not in his 'Hobo Slacker' look.*

And, hey, we can get a Kinnikuman origin!

Hey, Warsman "B", give us your origin!

 

I am a sentient war computer so I can give you my origin in great detail.

 

Bring it!

 

Kinnikuman Prehistory

Warsman - then Nikolai Volkov - wore a bag over his head, as a child, in order to hide his robotic features. Due to this, he was treated poorly by other children. The children would throw rocks at him while he was taking bread and milk home. A large rock once struck him enough to draw blood, which frightened the children and caused them to flee. He cries and whispers 'help me'. It is revealed he has a dying mother, whom he helps by administering her medicine. There is no time to call for a doctor, as his mother - Natasha Volkoff - tells him the story of his father: Mikhailman. Despite being a champion, Mikhail told Natasha that he wanted to become stronger, and went for a Czech doctor named Yuri Kopylov (who was searching for a Chojin strong enough to endure a remodeling into a mechanical Chojin).

 

Six months later, Mikhail returned with a modified body, but his heart was still the same. After some time, Nikolai is born, and they were a happy family. One day, however, Mikhail acted strange during a match, becoming aggressive to the point of killing his opponent and the referee. When he came back to his senses, he was unable to cope with his actions. He reveals a switch hidden on his abdomen and - after saying goodbye to Natasha and the baby Nikolai - self-destructed. With this, Nikolai learns why he is part machine. Natasha bids farewell, after begging him to remember the warmth of his father's blood courses through him, and finally dies.

 

He swears never to be ashamed, as he carries his parents' blood.

 

Ten years later, as he visits the grave of his parents, the SKGB confront Nikolai. They promise that he will be even greater than his father, and - wishing to make his father proud - he joins their cause. He is taken to a hidden location named "The Wolf's Room", and given his black armor and the stage-name Warsman. Unknown to them, a man - (Barracuda) - appears to be interested in Warsman's abilities and watches them from afar.The training was intense and unethical, but Warsman displayed great physical prowess and combat intellect. One of the Chojin, Kommandas, is impressed with Warsman being able to withstand their hellish training, as at least ten people drop out every day. Warsman says he will never drop out and considers it to be heaven, as they get all the exercise they need, eat all the food they want, and sleep under a warm blanket, and asks Kommandas to stay strong.

 

After six months of training, Warsman is connected to several cables in a laboratory and asked to use his computer-brain to locate a secret technique from one of the western first-rate Chojin wrestlers, and by doing so he learns Robin Mask's Palo Special. Barracuda watches from the shadows and is impressed with Warsman's talent, deciding that he will be able to defeat Kinnikuman.

 

At night, Warsman talks to a photograph that he has saved of his deceased parents. He leaves his room to collect water for his flower, and overhears a conversation between Kowalski and his men. The only reason the SKGB is training Chojin is to use them as robotic Chojin soldiers capable of destroying an entire army, the wrestling training being only a ruse, and with the success of the first soldier, Warsman, they plan to mass-produce robo-chojin. Warsman cries in response, before he tears through the thick iron door. He attacks the people inside, until armed soldiers arrive. The injured Kowalski tells them to not fire and leave him to their second robot Chojin soldier.

 

Warsman tries to escape, by running into the forest (despite it being nighttime). Kommandas, now a cold-hearted robot-Chojin soldier, appears and attacks Warsman. Warsman doesn't want to harm his friend, but Barracuda appears within the trees. He states that he is no longer the Kommandas that was once Warsman's friend, but a killer machine, and that to become a great Chojin, Warsman must be cold-hearted, be precise like an angel, and bold like a devil. Warsman then uses his Bear Claw and the Palo Special to kill Kommandas. Warsman initially turns to attack Barracuda, but Barracuda reveals he is Robin Mask.

 

Robin Mask then takes Warsman to Japan, so he can become a great Chojin wrestler.

 

21st Chojin Olympics

Warsman is seen as a contestant for the USSR in the 21st Chojin Olympics: The Big Fight. The preliminary match takes place on a roller-skating rink with various traps, in which he must complete ten laps, and he manages to come first place. He is assigned his place in the final matches via a giant pachinko machine; his first match, in the first rounds of Block A, is against Teapackman.

 

The fight against Teapackman is in Kourakuen Stadium, whom he defeats with his Screw Driver technique. He follows his match by slighting Pentagon by ignoring his offer of a handshake, in advance of their upcoming match. The semi-finalists are required to participate in a ceremony, in which they ride horses around a race-track - they all finished at the same time (save for Kinnikuman).

 

In the next round he went up against Pentagon, and although Pentagon’s aerial techniques worked on Warsman for awhile, Warsman eventually tore of Pentagon’s wings and eviscerated him with his Bear Claws. Warsman is next due to fight the “Most Brutal Chojin” Ramenman in a “Battle of the Beasts”. On the way to the ring, he stops to sign autographs for children, only to be brutally chastised by his trainer/manager Mr Barracuda. The match was a Steel Cage Casket Death Match. The winner was the first to throw his opponent out of the cage and into a coffin.

 

On entering the ring, Bibimba accidentally runs into him (Natsuko Shono in the anime). Warsman stops Mr Barracuda from attacking her, which shows a softer side to his character. It was during this fight that Warsman’s fighting computer was first mentioned. Though he gave it his all, Ramenman just couldn't gain an advantage over Warsman. Warsman threw him out of the cage and through a table. He then got on the top of the cage and jumped towards Ramenman with his trademark Screw Driver technique, but Ramenman blocked it with the ring bell. He thought he had trapped Warsman's Bear Claws, but Warsman burst through the bell and stabbed Ramenman in the temple, turning him into a vegetable. He then threw Ramenman's limp body into a coffin, winning the match.

 

Warsman trains for his match by blindfolding himself and seeing which inmates (on death row) can run past him, with the intent to kill them on their way past him and to freedom (as they'll be released if they succeed). Warsman kills all 149 prisoners, despite Bibimba's pleas, but allows one elderly man to live, out of mercy so that he may meet his grandson (Bibimba was replaced by Natsuko in the anime). He then is seen at Toshima Pool Park for a press conference.

 

Kinnikuman angers Warsman by mocking him, as he pulls back his chair and forces him to fall in public. After Kinnikuman strikes Bibimba, Warsman becomes infuriated at his actions and lunges to attack, at which point Kinnikuman uses his Bear Claw Defense to remove his clawed hand. Warsman counters with the Palo Special, before Terryman saves him by kicking him away into the waters. Barracuda declares the next match will be a Mask Removal Death Match.

 

A guard accidentally walks in on an unmasked Warsman before his match, but Warsman pretends that he is shaving his beard in case he is unmasked in the ring. Bibimba gifts him with a belt before his match. He is revealed to be 5kg overweight at his weigh-in; Barracuda demands he remove the belt, but Bibimba asks him to remove his claws, but - just as he decides to remove his claws - a child trips. Warsman offers to help them, but they attack him, and Warsman instead decides to remove the belt. Warsman loses control, destroying the scales and many people and parts of the room, and Barracuda drags him back to their dressing room to calm him down - it is revealed Barracuda is Robin Mask and only his true face can calm him.

 

Warsman is chained by Robin Mask, but - in his rage - released to interfere with a show match between Mayumi Kinniku and Harabote Muscle as a "training exercise". He tosses the ring with them away, until Kinnikuman tosses it back. Warsman is stopped from killing a catatonic Ramenman, only for Robin Mask to reveal his true identity to the crowd and that Warsman is his chance for revenge. Kinnikuman initially gains the upper hand, as Warsman essentially copies Robin's techniques, which Kinnikuman knows very well from their previous matches. Warsman reverts back to his own style, then removes Kinnikuman's mask.

 

Underneath each of Kinnikuman's masks is another mask, so Warsman struggles to unmask him. Warsman starts to remove Kinnikuman's actual mask, revealing black hair, until Kinnikuman performs the Muscle Curtain. Bibimba begs Warsman to stop, after he leaves Kinnikuman a bloody mess, but Robin Mask threatens to return him to the streets. Kinnikuman has the chance to throw Warsman onto his own Bear Claw, but refuses as he doesn't want to become as brutal as Warsman. Warsman thus changes his mind about his evil ways, but is attacked by Robin, who then proceeds to slap Bibimba. Warsman attacks Robin and continues to fight fairly against Kinnikuman.

 

Warsman is able to overcome Kinnikuman's Fire of Inner Strength with his Palo Special, proving himself stronger and with greater techniques, but Warsman overheats in battle if he fights past 30 minutes and 35 minutes have gone by in the match. Kinnikuman uses the Kinniku Buster and wins the match; he is required to remove Warsman's mask, but Warsman - talking for the first time - reveals his face. He is revealed to have a cybernetic face. Kinnikuman thus returns his mask.

 

Seven Devil Chojins Arc

Warsman takes part in a chojin event for children.

 

He strives to get the children to safety, when the Devil Chojin attack, but is stopped by Black Hole. Warsman punches, but his hand goes through Black Hole's head, and is flipped over by him, before he is hit by Buffaloman's Hurricane Mixer. He is knocked out and falls through the ring mat. He awakens just long enough to directly challenge them. Stecase King then climbs atop his head, only to blast him with music and break his sensory system. This defeats him.

 

When Kinnikuman is too weak to continue in his trials against the Seven Devil Chojin, his friends agree to fight on his behalf, which includes a newly recovered Warsman. Warsman decides - as they pick their opponents - that he will fight against Buffaloman. The match takes place in a Denen Colosseum, where Warsman laments that he never expected to use his claws again. Buffaloman attacks with a Hurricane Mixer; Warsman dodges the attack, but attacks again and injures Warsman's hip. After taking out a piece of Warsman's helmet, Warsman uses his inbuilt computer to calculate his next move.

 

Warsman manages to get in a series of blows, but most are ineffective or easily countered. Buffaloman reveals that this is because is Chojin Kyodo is so much higher than Warsman. Buffaloman manages to destroy Warsman's Bear Claws, followed by piercing his chest with his horns. Warsman uses his Yuujo Power to continue to fight for a while longer. They fight evenly until Warsman is too exhausted to continue and smoke billows from his body. Just before defeat, Warsman is able to break Buffaloman's horn.

 

A series of Hurricane Blows defeats Warsman, but - with his last ounce of strength - he manages to stand, but he remains unconscious and Buffaloman walks away. At this point, Terryman's shoelace snaps and Kinnikuman cries out Warsman's name, as it is revealed he has died from the attack. After Buffaloman's defeat, he uses the last of his Chojin Kyodo to resurrect the Justice Chojin that were defeated during the competition. This allows Warsman to come back to life, as he breaks out of his coffin in the Chojin Mortuary.

 

Warsman is thus returned to life.

 

Golden Mask Arc

Warsman first appears at a physical for the chojin.

 

He - along with the other chojin - have their power drained by some unseen force, and Warsman shows that his power has been halved and this has left him weak. When six masked men attack, Warsman tries to attack them and is knocked down by their sheer power. Warsman is later placed inside a round, bubble-like, life-support device. Later, Kinnikuman fights against Planetman, who uses images of Kinnikuman's friends on his body to transmit damage to the respective chojin.

 

The image of Warsman is above Planetman's heart, and Warsman begs Kinnikuman to sacrifice his life in order to defeat Planetman and save the others' lives. Kinnikuman punches through Warsman, which defeats Planetman, but leaves Warsman unconscious and prone on the floor of the arena. The leftover of the six evil chojin enter Warsman's body, and Geronimo reveals that Warsman can be woken up should they enter his body and manually restart his heart. A well appears and they all enter his body.

 

Warsman's mask pops off, while his face shifts to show all those Justice Chojin that entered his body in order to attempt to save his life. Warsman's eyes light up, and they project an image - to those outside - of what is going on inside him body, so that they may watch the fights. He starts to fit, when the matches take a dark turn and Kinnikuman slips down his spine. After they achieve victory, Kinnikuman throws the gold mask at Warsman's heart and restarts it, which saves his life.

 

Devil Shogun arrives to prevent the chojin from leaving Warsman, and - as they grow - they will eventually kill him by growing inside him. Geronimo sacrifices himself, so that the others can escape, and this causes Warsman to weep, as his tears help bring the chojin back out into the outside world. Warsman wakes up and sacrifices 100,000 units of power to bring Geronimo back to life. While trying to defeat Devil Shogun and the last two opponents, Warsman attacks them despite still being weakened, and is tossed aside and knocked unconscious again, even as he seeks to give it his best.

 

After Kinnikuman defeats Devil Shogun, Warsman celebrates with him.

 

Dream Chojin Tag Arc

Warsman arrives with the others to Kinnikuman's home.

 

They go to Kourakuen Hall, and they reveal that they will participate in the Dream Chojin Tag Tournament. Robin Mask announces that he and Warsman have formed a team: Chojin Master/Student Combo. They leave Kinnikuman, along with the other Justice Chojin. It is revealed by Harabote Muscle that they are the favourite tag-team to win. They are seen - in a video - working in perfect unison to defeat the Blood Illusions with a German Suplex, and thus have been formally chosen to enter.

 

Warsman and Robin Mask later arrive at the tournament.

 

They navigate through a maze, which matches them against the Hell Missionaries. They enter the third ring, where their opponents wait for them. Like the other Idol Chojins, Warsman has his Yujo Power stolen by Asuraman and Sunshine. Robin and Warsman work together to battle Big the Budo, until Warsman gets knocked into the ropes, and he rips the ropes to free himself and attempt Tag Formation A, which features Robin Mask taking Warsman into a Tower Bridge and spinning him, so that he may use a Rolling Bear Claw. This allows him to slash at Neptuneman's chest.

 

Warsman watches the match from the side, as Robin Mask takes the lead. After Neptuneman steals Warsman's Bear Claws, he attempts a Palo Special. Neptuneman counters, before impaling Warsman on his spike, and then using a Nose Dive and a Double Leg Suplex. This knocks off Warsman's mask, causing Robin to come to his defence. Neptuneman reveals he intends to steal Warsman's mask for his collection, but Warsman snatches it back and puts it back over his face.

 

The Hell's Missionaries then use a Cross-Bomber.

 

This knocks off Warsman's mask, allowing Neptuneman to add it to his collection. Warsman is cradled in Robin Mask's arms, while he asks who is laughing at his face, and - as Robin reassures him that no one is laughing - Warsman dies in his mentor's arms and leaves Robin weeping in grief. Warsman's corpse is then tossed from the mountain by Big the Budo, but caught by Kinnikuman Great. This is the last that Warsman is seen, until the following arc where regains his life and returns to his friends.

 

Survivor Match for the Kinniku Throne

Warsman is next seen in the Chojin Graveyard.

 

Kinnikuman dies during his match with Mixer Taitei, and encounters Warsman turning a giant wheel. Warsman reveals that it is possible to escape the Chojin Graveyard, as those that work hard enough can gain a "life ball", and four life balls will enable one to be resurrected. He gives Kinnikuman three of his life-balls, and then proceeds to attack the Hakamori Oni to help Kinnikuman escape (despite not having four balls). He holds open the exit to the graveyard, while Kinnikuman makes his way back to life.

 

While the semi-finals take place, against Kinnikuman Zebra, Warsman plans an attack to escape the graveyard and never to return. Doctor Bombe appears and takes Warsman into an old cave, where flowers - the only connection to the world of the living - grow. He plans to give Warsman an artificial heart, which will bring him back to life. Warsman is thus resurrected, allowing him to race back to the living world without interference, as the Graveyard Demons cannot harm living people.

 

Warsman reemerges in Himeji Castle.

 

He saves Meat Alexandria from The Manriki, as he enters the ring during their match. He is then announced as a stand-in for Meat in Team Kinnikuman. The Manriki gains an instant advantage, as Warsman is left unable to counter and experiences a series of blows, and Doctor Bombe - from the Graveyard - Warsman has been sent back with no memories of fighting, so he is the equivalent of a novice chojin. After being prompted by his teammates to use his Bear Claw, he instead throws the claws at the Manriki.

 

Warsman continues to throw his Bear Claw over and over, and - as Team Zebra realise his brain has been partially deleted on revival - he succumbs to a basic Body Slam. The crowd starts to turn on Warsman, which reminds him of the bullying he endured as a child, and he starts to fight in a brutal manner, while putting his Bear Claws on his feet to deliver deadly kicks against The Manriki.

 

Robin Mask recognises the look in Warsman's eyes as the one of a Brutal Chojin, from when they first met, and so removes his mask and uses a makeshift wig to look like Mr Barracuda. He finds a whip in order to get Warsman's attention, and Warsman starts to obey his commands. This goes well, but Warsman regains his Warsman's Smile and quickly becomes more and more brutal. Warsman gains the upper hand by breaking Manriki's legs and ripping off his vises. When Warsman goes in for the kill, Kinnikuman intervenes.

 

Warsman cries to see Kinnikuman sacrifice himself for an attack. Robin Mask, Kinnikuman, and Terryman then proceed to teach Warsman about Friendship Power, and this brings back all of his memories and his full personality. Just as the thirty minute mark of the match hits, and Warsman starts to overheat, he wins with a Palo Special. He then watches the Team Soldier match with his peers.

 

Before the finals, Harabote gives the teams three days to train.

 

Warsman trains alone in a bamboo forest in Nara. To train against Mammothman, he engineers a training device that will send multiple bamboo spears hurtling towards him at the same time. Just when Warsman seems to have mastered the technique, Neptuneman interrupts his training to remind him that the device is only throwing one spear at once, and Mammothman attacks with two tusks at a time. With a Warsman Smile, Warsman is finally able to learn the counter to Mammothman.

 

On the way to the finals, Mammothman corners Warsman. Warsman appears to successfully counter every attack, but is still late to the finals. Mammothman arrives and tosses Warsman's battered mask to Team Kinnikuman, and reveals - despite his strong start - Warsman lost to him. Geronimo reveals that he found Warsman and took him to a chojin hospital, and will take his place in the match.

 

He - along with other Justice Chojin arrives to support Kinnikuman during the final match.

 

King Muscle vs. Terryman

In a special edition chapter, Meat tells a story to Terry the Kid and Mantaro Kinniku. In which, Terryman challenges his best friend Kinnikuman to a fight. Warsman arrives at Terryman's ranch in the USA, riding a horse, and he is alongside Buffaloman - they declare they will help him to train. They initially defeat Terryman, proving he has a lot of progress to make to defeat Kinnikuman. Two days later, Terryman is able to defeat them both. They leave together for the match, only to discover Natsuko was in a car accident.

 

Warsman calms Buffaloman, stating: "His greatest love is fighting for her life; the match is the least of his concerns". They spend the night sleeping at the hospital, as Terryman stays at her bedside. Eventually, they return to the match and Warsman stays as a witness to the match. He applauds alongside his fellow chojin once the match is declared a draw, and Terryman and Kinnikuman embrace.

 

Farewell, Kinnikuman!

At Kinnikuman's retirement ceremony, each Justice Chojin takes a turn to ring a bell to commemorate Kinnikuman leaving the wrestling world. Warsman takes his turn after Terryman, where - through laughter - he uses his Bear Claw to partially break the bell. This provokes the others, in particular Brocken Jr. who tries to attack him, but Robin Mask appears to warn him that he must remain calm. When Terryman and Buffaloman later seek to interfere with Robin Mask and Kinnikuman's fight, Warsman proceeds to stop them. He tells them that Robin Mask means no harm, but simply wants a fair rematch and is fighting in good faith. He watches the fight with the other chojin, and is seen applauding when the match reaches its conclusion.

 

Kinnikuman Nisei

Chojin Olympics: The Resurrection Arc

In Kinnikuman Nisei, Warsman has assumed the identity of Chloe (クロエ) (Lord Flash in the English dub) and serves as Kevin Mask’s trainer and second, first appearing as his three-legged race companion. He first meets Kevin in "Kevin the Gym", where Kevin is training back in London, and offers his services as his trainer, for which - as we discover - he expects no payment except to see Kevin win the championship belt. Kevin agrees, but their initial relationship is difficult, as Kevin disbelieves he can successfully achieve many of the techniques being taught by Chloe. Chloe - Warsman - also renounces his Russian citizenship so that he can be the same nationality as Kevin, thus helping him as his second in the Chojin Olympics.

 

He is first introduced during the final preliminary event: "Wheezy Wheezy Three-Legged Race!", in which the chojins had to chose a partner from the stands. Kevin had people flock their arms to him asking to be his partner. During the race Kevin and his partner faced the obstacles. At the first obstacle being a steep hill Kevin noticed what Meat was trying to do by going sideways. The second obstacle was crossing a spinning log. Chloe told Kevin to spin with the log so they wouldn't fall. Near the end of the race the Kevin pair got attacked by King Castle.

 

When Chloe was in the air and their ankle strap twisted he said to King Castle, while having his foot on Castle's face, the difference between winning and losing chojins. With that second the ankle strap untwisted and Kevin came from behind to kick in the back of Castle's head. King Castle head explodes, and Kevin shoves Jade out of the way. Kaiser Moon tries to attack the Kevin pair near the final stretch of the race, but they sweep under Kaiser's feet and shoulder drop his head causing him to be incapacitated. Kevin and Chloe come in first place, using well balanced teamwork.

 

Kevin is ten minutes late to his match with Jijimman, when Chloe grows worried. Chloe eventually seeks out Kevin, who has spent thirty minutes fully clothed in a sauna whose heat was turned to maximum, and proceeded to stand on one finger until he lost consciousness. He is nearly disqualified when he is thirty minutes late for his match, but is half-carried to the ring by Chloe. Kevin collapses while trying to enter the ring, and - as he is stripped of his street clothes by Chloe - it is revealed he has lost a great deal of weight, which leaves him at a seeming disadvantage for battle.

 

Kevin proceeds to his next match with Chloe at his side on a private aeroplane, as they bond and discuss tactics. Kevin Mask trains with Chloe inside the airport terminal. A parade is thrown the day before the semi-finals, in Odori Park, where Keven Mask - as a semi-finalist - is forced to participate, but he becomes frustrated as it is time he could spend training for the match. Kevin thus engages in a fake fight with Chloe, which they use as a distraction to escape the parade. Kevin then proceeds to train with Chloe in Najima Park.

 

Chloe appears again to dress Kevin in his armour before the Kevin Mask vs. Ilioukhine match.

He appears restless, as commented on by Meat, and he offers no advice to Kevin. Meat realizes this silence is no strategy, when Chloe flinches at the rain of Kevin's blood, and that Chloe is for some reason incapacitated, but he comes to terms with events and swears that his reservations are gone: "I am utterly Kevin Mask's second"! After Chloe finally gives a stream of advice, he commands Kevin not just to win the match, but to destroy/kill Ilioukhine. This leads Kevin to use the OLAP technique.

 

Chloe trains Kevin for his upcoming battle with Mantaro Kinniku. They train with a demolition ball, in hopes of learning a counter for Muscle Millennium, and - when Kevin is injured - tears his shirt to create a tourniquet. A flashback then reveals how they met three months ago, as Chloe begged to become Kevin's trainer. During Kevin's warm-ups prior to the match with Mantaro, Chloe forgets his stopwatch; this leads him to retrieve it, during which he crosses paths with Ramenman, who experience great head pain on sight of him and his wound reopening. A second flashback reveals Chloe teaching Kevin to incorporate his father's techniques into his own repertoire.

 

The Kinniku Mantaro vs. Kevin Mask begins.

 

It is revealed Chloe changed citizenship to be Kevin's second; Chloe reveals he became Kevin's second to teach the secrets entrusted to him by Robin Mask.

Kevin - caught in the heat of battle - tries to attack Mantaro while he's down, which triggers Chloe to run to the ringside and command his stop. Ramenman rises out of instinct, where he tells Chloe to stop, and Chloe mutters that he wasn't about to do anything.

 

In the first of several flashbacks, Chloe reveals he was given the Olap Technique by Robin Mask. He commands Kevin to do the Mach Pulveriser, but Kevin loses control of the attack and accidentally heads towards Ramenman, at which point Chloe jumps between the two of them. In another flashback, Chloe is revealed to have taught Kevin the attack, and in present day, he bleeds profusely from the attack that strikes his mask and causes it to crack (revealing part of his true mask beneath). He claims he was only there to pick up a stray towel, as the match resumes.

 

Chloe explains he was given two books by Robin Mask, including the Palo Special. He explains that the Olap was too advanced for him to learn, and - as Kevin weeps at the sacrifice Chloe made for him, such as giving up his nationality - Chloe encourages him to continue. As Kevin begins to win the match, Chloe weeps tears of happiness for Kevin. Kevin wins; Chloe reminds him that the only payment he requested was to see Kevin wear the championship belt, after which he attempts to sneak out unseen.

 

He leaves one of the two books for Kevin, but takes the other. Kevin collapses, and - in a panic - Chloe races back to the ring and catches Kevin before he can make contact with the ground. Chloe's disguise breaks and reveals him to be Warsman. Warsman reveals he came initially to repay a debt to Robin, but promises to see Kevin again and maybe even fight him one day in the blue corner of the ring (due to that he does not age). He runs away in earnest, while Kinnikuman and Robin Mask watch with nostalgia and friendship.

 

Demon Seed Arc

Kevin trains to defeat Voltman in Toyama Power-Plant, Warsman - still ever watching over Kevin - finds Kevin fainted upon the snow. He gathers his old mask, which Kevin has kept all this time and brought with him to various parades and matches, and then carries Kevin bridal style through the snowy wilderness. He personally nurses Kevin back to health in an old shrine, where - yet again - he is in disguise; this time as an elderly monk. Kevin shows disappointment that it wasn't Warsman who rescued him, as he dismisses his memory of being carried as a dream in his weakened state.

 

Warsman reignites Kevin's spirit with an inspirational speech, before showing him the news of recent events, and reveals that Kevin has slept for four days, at which point - as Kevin gathers his most treasured possessions, including Warsman's old mask - Kevin flees to the final match against Asuraman. Warsman finally removes his disguise and watches with an impassive expression as Kevin leaves.

 

Ultimate Chojin Tag Arc

Battle Royale

He first appears in disguise at the opening ceremony.

 

Warsman takes the guise of Belmond, as part of the Hell's Bears, alongside Michael (Mammothman). A battle royale is announced. He spends a part of the match fighting against the Hell's Carpenters, before turning his attentions against Moaidon. The Jungle Books then attack the Hell's Bears, once the Celebrities are disqualified from the match.

 

They throw the Hell's Bears at one another, but the Hell's Bears lock arms and counter with kicks to their opponents' faces. Hell's Bear #2 takes Savannah into a Bear Hug, while Hell's Bear #1 clutches Gori Max's and falls upside-down with him. Hell's Bear #2 flips himself and Savannah into a sub-ring, and it is then noticed Gori Max is still descending downward, but now he is directly over Savannah's head.

 

Their heads collide, which knocks them unconscious, and they are then dragged from the ring. The Hell's Bears then attack Illusions by biting them, but are subjected to a devastating counter. Later, they head into the sub-ring to attack Neptuneman and protect Mantaro Kinniku, but Neptuneman then knocks them both out of the ring.

 

They win the battle royale is won by default, as all other teams are eliminated, and - in the match-up event - are placed against Team Cosmos in the first round. During the event, the Hell's Bears are attacked by Meteoman, which tears Belmond's costume and rips off his eye in the process.

 

First Round

The B-Block first-round match between them takes place at Kanagawa's Kawasaki Stadium. Team Cosmos arrives with capes adorned with the USSR insignia, while the Hell's Bears enter to a fairy-tail parade on a sleigh. The Hell's Bears dance onto the ring in costumes, before coaxing Team Cosmos to dance with them, but this angers Team Cosmos into a Galactica Attack. The bell is then rung, while Team Cosmos lament that the bear costumes feel like a mockery of their homeland's Misha mascot. Team Cosmos then use a Russian Sickle.

 

Meteoman uses a Meteor Cannon against Belmond. This knocks Belmond back into his corner, while Sputnik uses a No. 1 Cosmos Medallion, and together Team Cosmos launch a rocket into the graveyard orbit above Earth. Belmond then kicks at Meteoman's jaw, while Michael throws Sputnik against the mat. Meteoman attempts an A-bomb, which Belmond cancels with Head Scissors. While Belmond unleashes a series of attacks on Meteoman, Michael is attacked by Spuntnik, and Sputnik throws him with a double-arm suplex, which causes him to land near to Belmond.

 

Belmond uses a rolling sobat on Sputnik, as he switches places with Michael, but Meteoman uses another Meteor Cannon into Belmond's legs. Team Cosmos then use a Siberian Storm. This rips open Belmond's back and causes immense bleeding, and - as Sputnik holds him upright - Meteoman kicks continuously at his open wound. Eventually, Belmond uses a Bear Claw as a counter-attack. Belmond then delivers a series of elbow drops to Sputnik's head. Team Cosmos use Sputnik's antenna to pull a rain of space debris down against the Hell's Bears, and the light of which illuminates Belmond's cybernetic body.

 

Meteoman uses another Meteor Cannon, which is counter by Michael. Belmond breaks off Sputnik's antennas, preventing him from summoning more space debris, and then puts him in a bear-hug, before Michael grabs Meteoman and together they perform a Teddy Crash. This knocks Sputnik and Meteoman down for the count, but Sputnikman stands again and confronts Belmond about his true identity. Belmond proceeds to drill a hole through his body, revealing his identity as Warsman.

 

This defeats Team Cosmos and kills Sputnikman.

 

Quarter-Finals

He ultimately loses in the competition to the Hell Expansions, but his sacrifice allows for him to transfer a robotic part to Alisa Mackintosh, which saves her life and in turn Kevin's life. We last see him being taken back to the present timeline by the second generation.

 

Kinnikuman (2011)

Perfect Large Numbers Arc

It is revealed - after accumulating so many injuries over the years - that Robin Mask has entered suspended animation as a part of his healing process. He is in Russia, where he will remain in stasis until his healing is completed. While he is resting, Turboman waits for him in Red Square. Once fully healed, Warsman appears - alongside his peers - to fight against the second group of Perfect Chojin.

 

On the seventh step, Warsman learns of Robin Mask's death in his match against Nemesis. Polarman takes advantage of his distraction and attacks from behind, but Warsman counters with his Bear Claw attack. They exchange a series of blows, while Warsman incorporates Robin's techniques into his repertoire, and - when Warsman tries to throw him out of the ring - he uses his fur coat to parachute down to safety. Polarman then gets the upper-hand and kicks Warsman's head, causing it to dent and partially damage his brain.

 

Polarman attempts to use a Polar Nail attack on Warsman, while Warsman is down, but Warsman evades the attack. Warsman slowly works on attacking Polarman's weak-points, where he causes severe damage, but Polarman breaks Warsman's claws in the process. Warsman continues to attack Polarman's weak-points, and follows by biting at his leg, while his smile reveals that he plans to kill Polarman. He is knocked down again by Polarman. Warsman is reinvigorated by Robin's spirit, and gets up a fourth time to attack Polarman.

 

It is soon after that Polarman gets the upper-hand, but Warsman's friends support him and cheer him, increasing his Yuujo Power. Polarman seemingly has Warsman defeated, as he lies atop of him and forces him into the mat, but Warsman rises with a Naked Tower Bridge. Warsman traps him in a Palo Special. Polarman snatches off Warsman's mask, but Warsman is no longer self-conscious, as he knows that he has the full support of his friends. Warsman finally defeats Polarman. Polarman asks for Warsman to kill him, but Warsman refuses.

 

And that is my initial overview. I shall now proceed to tell you the details of-

 

NO!

No, please!

We'll be a LOT more careful about asking for Kinnikuman origins in the future!

Belgacom Up Up Towers

 

A poem by Peter S. Quinn

 

Belgacom up up towers

Thru the open sky

Mirror glass empowers

To reach tomorrow’s high

Every hour in waking

Thru the life below

Telecommunications making

In their goals go

 

Yesteryears were different

Within other ways

Now it’s steel glass bent

With the sunshine days

Clear up on and going

Gathering futures revere

In all its glassy glowing

Thru its day and year

 

Dreams of fresh prospect

Giving more of hope

With innovative intellect

And holding to strong rope

Inside their days of living

More to offer to new

Together to future giving

Making dreams come true

Pulse of Brussels

 

A poem by Katie Gabrielle

 

The soul of Brussels

Reflections of a world

Mirror what we see

And what really is

Imagine what minds

Have passed through these

Steps and to the top

Gazing upon this city

Dreaming grand dreams

Hoping for a better world

And creating one

With each wave of the flag

The pulse of Brussels

Soars to the skies

Reflecting pride, spirit

and love

Malcolm Margolin greeted me with wild eyes and a grin that didn’t care for solemnity. I photographed him at his home in December 2021, where he sat surrounded by a lifetime of books, stories, and a certain irreverent joy. Despite the slow encroach of Parkinson’s, Malcolm was electric: playful, thoughtful, utterly alive.

 

He’s spent decades preserving the voices of others, especially those too often erased, through his writing and publishing. As the founder of Heyday Books, Malcolm gave California back to itself, one story at a time. Native histories, natural landscapes, the rhythms of seasons and culture—he made them vivid and accessible. In doing so, he helped generations remember how to listen.

 

Malcolm Margolin’s books feel less like authored works and more like invitations. They invite you to sit around a fire, to walk an old trail, to remember what was nearly forgotten. His most enduring book, The Ohlone Way: Indian Life in the San Francisco–Monterey Bay Area, published in 1978, reintroduced the world to the Indigenous peoples of California with a kind of reverent clarity. It wasn’t anthropology for its own sake. It was a reweaving of memory, a reminder that the land we walk on holds stories far older than our cities. The San Francisco Chronicle once called it one of the hundred most important books of the 20th century written about California. They were right.

 

There’s something profoundly countercultural about the way Malcolm shows up in the world. He doesn’t chase relevance or power. He listens. He tells jokes. He makes a face. That afternoon together, what struck me wasn’t just his intellect, which is capacious, or his memory, which still flares with detail. It was his delight. Despite the tremor in his hands, he leaned into the moment. Curious. Open. Fiercely human.

 

This portrait captures him in that spirit: not in decline, but defiant in joy. A man unafraid to look silly. A man who knows that sometimes the best way to carry truth is through laughter.

 

There are people who spend their lives trying to leave a mark. Malcolm has already carved a whole topography of language, land, and love. And somehow, he’s still out there, adding lines.

I can't believe just how much this city has reemerged since I moved away some 10 or so years ago. The intellect of this place has just grown so much. As I drove around I saw new dwellings and businesses everywhere. An old city has somehow became a young person's playground. Proud to call Cleveland my home town.

The colour Yellow is the colour of Sunshine, Hope, and Happiness !! It stands for Freshness, Positivity, Clarity, Energy, Optimism, Enlightenment, Remembrance, Intellect, Spirituality, Honor, Loyalty, and Joy !!! ……What else do you want???

 

I personally prefer the Golden Yellow , because it makes my heart sing, like the colour White does !! Therefore, I have plenty of both representatives in the garden, which make EXCELLENT associations with all the rest strong bloom colours in the garden, like the reds , Indian pinks, and blues!! Well, I would say a very ….Mediterranean-style-coloured garden…

 

L'unico modo di rafforzare il proprio intelletto sta nel non avere opinioni decise su nulla; lasciare che la propria mente sia una strada di passaggio per tutti i pensieri.

 

The only way of strengthening one's intellect is not to have strong opinions on anything, let your mind be a way of passage for all thoughts.

 

John Keats

The man who wishes to know the visible (to know it both in entirety and in depth) is obliged for that very reason to know the Invisible, on pain of absurdity and ineffectualness; to know it according to the principles which the very nature of the Invisible imposes on the human mind; hence to know it by being aware that the solution to the contradictions of the objective world is found only in the transpersonal essence of the subject, namely in the pure Intellect.

Classicism, in the arts, refers generally to a high regard for a classical period, classical antiquity in the Western tradition, as setting standards for taste which the classicists seek to emulate. In its purest form, classicism is an aesthetic attitude dependent on principles based in the culture, art and literature of ancient Greece and Rome, with the emphasis on form, simplicity, proportion, clarity of structure, perfection, restrained emotion, as well as explicit appeal to the intellect. The art of classicism typically seeks to be formal and restrained: of the Discobolus Sir Kenneth Clark observed, "if we object to his restraint and compression we are simply objecting to the classicism of classic art. A violent emphasis or a sudden acceleration of rhythmic movement would have destroyed those qualities of balance and completeness through which it retained until the present century its position of authority in the restricted repertoire of visual images."

Classicism is a force which is often present in post-medieval European and European influenced traditions; however, some periods felt themselves more connected to the classical ideals than others, particularly the Age of Enlightenment, when Neoclassicism was an important movement in the visual arts.

“…Men have called me mad; but the question is not yet settled, whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence -- whether much that is glorious- whether all that is profound -- does not spring from disease of thought -- from moods of mind exalted at the expense of the general intellect…” (Edgar Allan Poe)

“If we listened to our intellect we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship.

We'd never go in business because we'd be cynical: "It's gonna go wrong." Or "She's going to hurt me." Or,"I've had a couple of bad love affairs, so therefore . . ."

Well, that's nonsense.

You're going to miss life.

You've got to jump off the cliff all the time and build your wings on the way down.”

On his nightly route through Gotham on patrol, Batman was ambushed by the mighty Bane. The fight took damage on both sides as Bane used his intellect and brute strength in a match that the Dark Knight was having trouble to stay ahead in the fight. Batarangs flew all over Kane graveyard and into tombstones of forgotten men and woman. The fight began to die and Batman was tossed into a freshly dug grave. On the tombstone it writ "Here lies the Dark Knight, defender of the night." Will Batman recover quick enough to stop Bane from breaking the man beneath the cowl or will the foreign villain finally defeat his adversary?

Now here it is the final part of my Justice League/Legion of Doom face offs, I saved the best for last and soon I'll begin a new project that'll share the same universe as these battles. Please enjoy!

Seeing, in the finest and broadest sense, means using your senses, you intellect, and your emotions. It means encountering your subject matter with your whole being. It means looking beyond the labels of things and discovering the remarkable world around you.

Title:

Portrait of Leonilla, Princess of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn

 

Artist/Maker:

Franz Xaver Winterhalter (German, 1805 - 1873)

 

Culture:

German

 

Date:

1843

 

Medium:

Oil on canvas

 

Dimensions:

142.2 x 212.1 cm (56 x 83 1/2 in.)

 

In a daring pose reminiscent of harem scenes and odalisques, the Princess Leonilla of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn reclines on a low Turkish sofa on a veranda overlooking a lush tropical landscape. Only her unassailable social position made it possible for Franz Xaver Winterhalter to use such a sensual pose for a full-length portrait in Paris in 1843.

 

Known for her great beauty and intellect, the Princess is resplendent in a luxurious gown of ivory silk moiré with a pink sash around her waist. A deep purple mantle wraps around her back and falls across her smooth arms. Under carefully arched eyebrows, her heavy lidded eyes gaze languidly at the viewer while she artfully toys with the large pearls around her neck. Winterhalter contrasted sumptuous fabrics and vivid colors against creamy flesh to heighten the sensuality of the pose, the model, and the luxuriant setting.

Every day we can touch another person’s heart with a nice act, kind word or warm smile . . .

Master Engineer Borri Fuseforged:

 

Dwarven engineers, known throughout the lands for their superb craftsmanship and high intellect. These practical theorists accompany the dwarven battle throngs with their deadly war machines and war strategies. Very few of these dwarven intellectuals achieve the title of Master Engineer, and revered greybeard Borri Fuseforged is among those elite individuals.

 

Thought of as an eccentric when he was just a beardling, Borri was incessant in his pursuits of inventions. A natural genius when it came to mathematics and engineering theories, coupled with his mischievous nature, Borri surpassed his peers in the Engineers Guild at an early age. He constantly tinkered with anything he could get his hands on, inventing knickknacks like the vibrating carving knife, the sonifying earpiece, and a particularly interesting beer mug that always stays cold.

 

It wasn't until his later years, when he began to see whisps of grey in his beard, that Borri began to focus his inventive mind on assisting the dwarven military. Creations like the Dwarven Steam Barge, Slayer Dropper, and the Ranged Thunder Gun allowed his peers in the guild to see Borri's truly superb intellect and elevate him to Master Engineer. Every dwarf elevated to this position carries the Master Engineer staff, so his peers can be reminded of who they are with.

 

During battle, Borri stayes close to his beloved war machine inventions, guiding the crews on where to best steer a rudder, aim a cannon, or fix an engineering issue. Using his Ranged Thunder Gun, Borri Fuseforged is able to pinpoint and execute enemy lords and heroes across an entire battlefield. When he needs to partake in close quarters combat, Borri unleashes the power of his triple-barreled Thunder Shot, blasting through ranks of orcs and goblins alike. Many a dwarven throng has Borri Fuseforged to thank for superb strategies and excellent working war machines.

City of Westminister, CO

I’ve been thinking allot lately, catalysed by some reading about conceptual photography. This has had a paradoxical effect on me, on one hand agreeing with elements in both, but apposing arguments about pictorial v conceptual. Anyway without drawing this out into an essay, it seems that the thing that is never mentioned in these discussions is the motives as to why people prefer each approach...

 

Without wishing to sound up my own behind, let me make the generalised overly simplified assumption about each. One is the desire to satisfy the mind and the other is the desire to stimulate the heart.

 

Funny how you always see the conceptualists complaining about pictorialism and not the other way around. I wonder why is it not justified to be a lover of the pictorialists approach alone, when the conceptualist dismisses those that don’t fit into their formula? Surely this is the egocentricity, uncertainty? Why is it so wrong to be motivated by texture, shape, movement, colour, composition? Why do some people feel a need to stimulate their intellect over their sensitivities? Upbringing, too left brained, locked in the cupboard under the stairs for too long as children?

 

Anyway this image is a result of conceptual arguments clouding my sentiments with intellect, and before I pin a concept onto it, I’m curious, what does say to you?

 

Note: There is a concept but I wonder if anybody can tell without words?

Eagles of Death Metal is an American rock band from Palm Desert, California, formed in 1998 by best friends Jesse Hughes and Josh Homme. Despite their band name, Eagles of Death Metal is not a death metal band. The story goes that a friend was introducing Josh Homme to the death metal genre. When he played a song by the Polish band Vader and made a claim that the song was within the death metal genre, Homme then referred to Vader as "The Eagles of Death Metal". After hearing this phrase, he wondered what a cross between the Eagles and a death metal band would sound like. With that, the band was born.

The concert of November 13th never ended. I would thus like, this time, to have in mind the image of a public who applauds jubilant and of a group happy to be there, greeting the crowd before leaving the scene(stage). I feel irreparably bound(connected) to this public and to this group from now on. At night of November 13th, we found ourselves parked in an inner courtyard with a part(party) of the group: the bass player, the sound engineer, etc. We had discussed. See again(revise) them on stage, with the physical courage which it always supposes, and in particular in these circumstances, it will be a very strong image. Finally, it is doubtless a positive image of myself whom I fetch through them. The hours pass, the term approaches, and I have more and more the feeling that it is about the concert.

In its psychological association the eagle shares and opposite symbolism which can be reversed through personal effort. Being symbolic of St. John the evangelist most firmly established in the intellectual realm, the eagle symbolizes the height of intellectual activity; however, this bird also can represent the degrading, consuming passion, of the intellect, which causes humans not to be ruled by the mind but the body. The eagle displays such behavior when he interrupts his elegant flight to swoop down on his prey to satisfy his carnal needs. At times humans behave the same way, their passions control them. This is the reason the eagle symbolized Adam, the first man, in medieval bestiaries: Adam, too, who originally dwelt close to heaven, lost his glory when sighting the forbidden fruit. Humankind like the eagle can improve its status by returning to the intellectual realm. This also has alchemical symbolism: when an experiment failed the alchemist had to start over again.The eagle's alchemical symbolism can readily be recognized in that the goals of alchemy are the transmutation of base (impure) metals or spirits into more purer or finer ones. This called for the destruction of the base metals to release the spirit and the renewal or reunion of the spirit in the new one. This is a renewal process, the death one the one and birth of the new, symbolized in the eagle. The eagle is thought as a royal bird as alchemy was called the royal art.

But already, the room stamps for reminders(abseilings). Encouraged by mooses(run-ups) francophiles of Jesse Hughes, who wrapped himself later(just now) with a scarf(sling) blue, white, red knitted which anonymous hands tightened(stretched out to) him(her) since the pit, and by this three-colored(French) guitar which he took(brought) out for his last piece, the crowd demands La Marseillaise. It will be Brown Sugar, Rolling Stones. For whom dreamed about the " first concert besides of (its) life ", it is a value far more rock 'n' roll. At night, on the boulevard where the crowd passes by, Jesse Hughes's deep words resound as a mantra: " mother fucker, nobody will prevent me from continuing this trick "

Mais déjà, la salle frappe du pied pour les rappels. Encouragé par les élans francophiles de Jesse Hughes, qui s’est enveloppé tout à l’heure d’une écharpe bleu, blanc, rouge en tricot que des mains anonymes lui ont tendue depuis la fosse, et par cette guitare tricolore qu’il a sortie pour son dernier morceau, la foule réclame La Marseillaise. Ce sera Brown Sugar, des Rolling Stones. Pour qui rêvait du « premier concert du reste de [sa] vie », c’est une valeur autrement plus rock’n’roll. Dans la nuit, sur le boulevard où la foule s’écoule, les paroles profondes de Jesse Hughes résonnent comme un mantra : « Enculés de votre mère, personne ne m’empêchera de continuer ce truc. »
