![]() ![]() it's meant to be a horror story, and it is, but i have the mind of child, and whether it's because i have not read any monsterporn in such a long time, when it used to be such a staple of my literary explorations, or because i saw The Shape of Water today, which is basically Amélie + monsterporn, but this story is so utterly suggestive, i was giggling too much for the horror to register. This is short story as manga, and it's a doozy. Which in turn links to the whole monthlong project, in case you wanna do some free short story reading of your own! links to the stories in this year's advent-ure will be at the end of each review.Įnjoy, and the happiest of decembers to you all! Here is a link to the first story in last year's project, however, i will be posting story links in case anyone wants to read the stories themselves and show off how maybe someone could have time for that. Last year, i carved out my own short story advent calendar as my project for december, and it was so much fun i decided to do it again this year! so, each day during the month of december, i will be reading a short story and doing the barest minimum of a review because ain't no one got time for that and i'm already so far behind in all the things. This story is gonna give me nightmares for a really long time because I know I will not stop thinking about something like this could actually be possible, what a motherfucking bizzare, horrific story! Okay so, this was it, I mean idk this was incomplete, no ? You want me to complete it? No, sir.sir. This was only 4 pages long, are you sure no pages were missing? ![]() Yes sir, please explain your story, ahh this one the sad tale of principal post, yess sir, what? Okay okay, hang on, I am trying to call Mr. There were two short stories at the end :. Pretty please? It's actually a really good idea sir, consider it! Ito with all my heart but I am not a big fan of how things ended, like I loved the ending of Uzumaki but this was incomplete, things should have been wrapped up a bit more, and we can get a vol 3 if Mr. ![]() *Ufff* First thing, don't come at me, I still love Mr. Since Tomie, many of his works have been adapted for TV and the cinema. In 1998, during the horror boom that followed the success of Ringu, Tomie was adapted into a movie. Eventually, unable to cope with her coy flirtation and their desire to possess Tomie completely, they are inevitably compelled to kill her - only to discover that, regardless of the method they chose to dispose of her body, her body will always regenerate. Apart from the ghastly, convincingly-drawn deaths, the book projects an effective atmosphere of creeping fear as the town's inhabitants become less and less human, and more and more bizarre things begin to happen.īefore Uzumaki, Ito was best known for Tomie, a comic series about a beautiful, teasing and eternally youthful high school girl who inspires her stricken admirers to murder each other in fits of jealous rage. His longest work, the three-volume Uzumaki, is about a town's obsession with spirals: people become variously fascinated with, terrified of, and consumed by the countless occurrences of the spiral in nature. Ito's universe is also very cruel and capricious his characters often find themselves victims of malevolent unnatural circumstances for no discernible reason or punished out of proportion for minor infractions against an unknown and incomprehensible natural order. For example: A girl's hair rebels against being cut off and runs off with her head Girls deliberately catch a disease that makes them beautiful but then murder each other a woman treats her skin with lotion so she can take it off and look at her muscles, but the skin dissolves and she tries to steal her sister's skin, etc. The most common obsessions are with beauty, long hair, and beautiful girls, especially in his Tomie and Flesh-Colored Horror comic collections. Nevertheless, upon graduation he trained as a dental technician, and until the early 1990s he juggled his dental career with his increasingly successful hobby - even after being selected as the winner of the prestigious Umezu prize for horror manga. Born in Gifu Prefecture in 1963, he was inspired from a young age by his older sister's drawing and Kazuo Umezu's comics and thus took an interest in drawing horror comics himself. ![]()

However, the speeds that those tests do show on the Linksys are often well short of our 'contract' Gigabit speeds. I bought and implemeted the Netgear router, but really didn't see any noticeable improvements in speeds and found out I really missed that 'Speed test' feature available on the Linksys' web admin page. Now, I was trying to use the Netgear router for a couple of months as my previous isp had told me that in their tests, Linksys routers had never been consistent in getting optimal speeds in their tests. I've tried 2 different wireless routers, a Netgear Nighthawk and a Linksys EA8300, both with gigabit ports for WAN and LAN. So, I have home internet service that is supposed to be 1 Gigabit up and down(fiber) and I've been struggling with it on and off for well over a month(much to my wife's chagrine! :) ). networking pro with a longish history of working with Cisco(mainly) routers and switches, so I'm not currently able to work(perhaps 'permanently - since early 2011) and may have to resign myself to being effectively 'retired' at my relatively youngish age of almost 48.Īnyway, I have no illusions of being 100% competent in current networking stuff anymore and I'm posting here hoping y'all can help out a guy a bit :) First off, I should introduce myself with a little background info(which may or may not be pertinent.*shrug* :) ) ![]() ![]() ![]() The plugin system is getting some tweaks in the way that InputMapper manages the plugin instances themselves.

This in itself isn’t an issue as devices do this all the time and is why DPC, interrupts and buffers exist. More accurately it’s a buffer overflow issue where some mid- range or heavily taxed systems are generating output device reports faster than the output driver can process them.

At a royal banquet that evening, Macbeth sees Banquo’s ghost appear covered in blood. Fearing that Banquo’s descendants will, according to the Weïrd Sisters’ predictions, take over the kingdom, Macbeth has Banquo killed. When Macbeth arrives at his castle, he and Lady Macbeth plot to assassinate King Duncan, soon to be their guest, so that Macbeth can become king.After Macbeth murders Duncan, the king’s two sons flee, and Macbeth is crowned.

Entire Play Macbeth, set primarily in Scotland, mixes witchcraft, prophecy, and murder.He is the author of, among others, The Secret Library: A Book-Lovers’ Journey Through Curiosities of History and The Great War, The Waste Land and the Modernist Long Poem. The author of this article, Dr Oliver Tearle, is a literary critic and lecturer in English at Loughborough University. It is part of the power of this speech that Macbeth’s language conveys his disordered mental state, the fact that he is overcome by the pointlessness of his whole endeavour, and – because he cannot escape his own mind – of life itself. In Macbeth’s phrase, ‘sound and fury’ are not two distinct phenomena, but more intimately joined: what ‘sound and fury’ means here is something like ‘furious sound’. These two substantives are joined by the word ‘and’. ‘Sound and fury’ is a more interesting phrase than it first appears: it’s an example of hendiadys, a curious literary device whereby one idea is expressed by two ‘substantives’ (specifically, nouns or adjectives). ![]() In short, what is the point of anything, when a man’s life appears to achieve nothing? Duncan is dead Banquo is dead Lady Macbeth is dead and Macbeth seems ready for his own death, now all appears lost. Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,Ĭontinuing the idea of life as an actor upon a stage for an hour only, Macbeth develops this, thinking about plays, illusion, stories, and fictions: life is like a story, but a bad story, told by someone too stupid and blustering to say anything of significance. He then likens life to an actor who comes out onto the stage, struts his stuff, says his lines for an ‘hour’, and then disappears again. Life is like a candle which burns for a short while only, so Macbeth argues that it should just be put out, since it will soon be ‘out’ anyway. That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player, More alliteration, with dusty death inviting the actor playing Macbeth to highlight and emphasise the harsh d sounds.

This one category is responsible for 50% of all card sales. The number one bestselling sentiment is Birthday. I go into the subject further in this article. If you simply can’t write greetings, get professional help. It means that your message is well-written and appealing. Greeted doesn’t just mean that “Happy Birthday” is written inside. As a former card rep, I have seen way too many retailers refuse to even consider a new line of blanks. If you are only offering blank cards, you are turning away 90% of the market who buy greeted cards. These cards should all work together visually to give the best impression. My suggestion is to have 48 titles minimum. Some artists create a few cards and want to market them before they have enough critical mass to create an effective collection. It’s easy to get lost in the crowd if you don’t stand out. Your cards will be competing against many other cards in a store. Keep this in mind when planning the layout on the front of your cards to attract shopper’s attention. Notice that only the top few inches of the card will show, not the whole face. If you are selling to retailers, many will have “in-line” displays, which look like stadium seating. This applies to “counter cards” in racks – horizontal is fine if you are selling packaged blank notes. Cards designed in a “portrait” (vertical) format generally show better and sell better than cards designed in a “landscape” (horizontal) format. Most greeting cards are approximately 5” x 7”, which is a good size to stick with, as card racks can easily accommodate them. ![]() (Your mother’s opinion doesn’t count!) Use the right format. Then, ask for impartial opinions from others on whether they would consider buying your cards. Get clear on why you are creating your line and who would actually purchase your cards. That will virtually guarantee you have no chance for success. If you only want to sell divorce/break up cards, you are gearing your work way too narrowly. Do some research first to find out if your idea for a card line will fly. If your niche is the military, keep in mind that Get Well, Sympathy, Congratulations and Love/Miss You cards are big sellers to that group. Do you have a clear idea of who will be purchasing your line, and is it tailored to that buyer? If you are planning to focus on a college audience, for example, include lots of friendship and love cards, and more blanks than a regular mix, which will do better on campus. No one card line will appeal to everybody. Here are six additional considerations that can improve your line and help you avoid pitfalls which lead to slower sales: Know your audience. Whether clever, heartfelt, or edgy, you can design a line that will be successful if you start it with those good “bones.” A catchy image will grab the attention of the shopper. By Carolyn Edlund Greeting card entrepreneurs need a clear grasp on the basics of designing and creating a line that will sell.Īlthough there is no “big secret” to creating a successful greeting card line, there are some basics that are always necessary – compelling images and great writing. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We’ll begin by showing you how to make life, then humans, animals and plants.

Sure, you may not have ever wanted coal, but in the case of a diamond, it’s your new best friend! The word coal probably kicks up memories of Christmas rhymes narrating Santa’s delivery of coal to the naughty kids, or maybe even images of coal mines and shinning a headlamp to light the way. There are roughly 29 other possible combos you can create with the item of pressure, so no pressure there but you’ve got lots of potentials to explore! Step 2: Create Coal Simple as that, now you’ve got yourself some pressure. If you haven’t already unlocked pressure, you will in about 5 seconds! This is an easy-peasy item to obtain, you may even already have it! The element of pressure can be used in dozens of future items, so this is a great one to have in the toolbelt.
