The assault rifle being swung around by a spunky blonde female once belonged to Captain Snow. She was as strong and fierce as her male counterparts, and her kill count was just as high. She was a mother of three, left home so that she might fight for their ultimate survival. Her husband had protested, and even threatened that she'd never see her children again if she left. She had simply stated that she could live with that if she knew they were safe. She was taken down by a grenade only days before the wars end. She was on the squad that would use her death as motivation to wipe out the leaders on the enemy side. Her death would be the beginning of the end of the war.

Buddhist Initiation Cards (tsakli, tsakali)
Initiation Cards (tsakli, tsakali) are sets of Buddhist or Bon ritual images that accompany an initiation ceremony. An initiation ceremony is a ritualized introduction into a mediation practice that generally includes figurative visualization and formulaic recitation. The cards, a visual synopsis of the daily or otherwise regular practice, are drawn or painted, often on paper, sometimes on cloth. The sets can be anything in size from one card up to hundreds of cards. They sometimes have writing on the front and almost always have inscriptions on the back even if it is just a number. The sequence of the initiation cards is very important. The cards are ritual in use and not intended to be decorative in any way, however some sets are beautifully drawn and painted.
