Effluence - Psychocephalic Spawning This is one of the most interesting Avant-Garde Metal Albums I have ever heard. For one this record is incredibly fucking brutal. So many Avant-Garde metal albums seems to take the route of "What if Metal but not brutal??" And i hate it. I love experimentation and obviously I respect anyone's artistic vision if it is what excites them and motivates them to make art. Art doesn't have to be violent or brutal to be good, but let's be real. There is a reason we are the kinds of people who are attracted to this shit and it isn't always because we enjoy complex guitar playing. There is a certain importance to the aesthetic. The vibe. And this album has it in spades. SO First Off, the mother fucking vocals. I don't know how people make this insect sounding guttural growl that sounds like an insane clicking almost Marimba or Xylophone like sound to it but mixed with a mutant. I have no idea but it is one of my favorite styles of metal vocals simply because it sounds fucking inhuman and insane. I want to learn about this, so can someone please teach me how to do it???? On top of that the guitar playing is just... fucking insane. Impossibly fast, complex. Perfectly technically executed. Perfectly mastered. Just fucking amazing how well they integrated these guitars into all the other instruments. And I do mean all the other instruments. On top of some amazing drum playing, and some bass playing that is just as impressive and insane as the guitar playing, to my ear, there is a saxophone, flute, some kind of xylophone like instrument, synths, samples, Harsh noise samples, and all sorts of stuff. If you ever need proof that flute playing can be brutal as fuck please just listen to the sound Devouring Gray Matter, because it will convince you the instant you hear the flute start to pop off. Essentially, this is one of, if not the most innovative death metal album I've heard, and I can't wait to hear what this band is going to do next. Fucking absolute freaks. I love it.

Different places on the face of the earth have different vital effluence, a different vibration of chemical exhalation, a different polarity with the stars; call it what you like. But the spirit of a place is a great reality.

This Jane played by Sorcha Cusack from "Jane Eyre" 1973 version of is quite strange. What's something different about her compare to other Jane from different versions is that she smiles many times. When I first watched the 1973 version, I admit it was not easy to understand her because she looked too confident and quite a smug whereas in other versions of Jane they're usually look somber or quite serious. Upon replaying the show few times, I'm beginning to understand and even appreciate why this Jane does that habit.

It's in the novel and Mr. Rochester loves her smile.

Surprise, surprise. It is mentioned in the novel that Jane does smile in some occasions and Mr. Rochester admits in few chapters that he loves to see her in that state. It's not much compare to 1973 version but it does something special about her and made Mr. Rochester fall in love with her.

"Look wicked, Jane: as you know well how to look: coin one of your wild, shy, provoking smiles; tell me you hate me—tease me, vex me; do anything but move me: I would rather be incensed than saddened." (Chapter 25)

"There was much sense in your smile: it was very shrewd, and seemed to make light of your own abstraction." (Chapter 27)

"I believe you felt the existence of sympathy between you and your grim and cross master, Jane; for it was astonishing to see how quickly a certain pleasant ease tranquillised your manner: snarl as I would, you showed no surprise, fear, annoyance, or displeasure at my moroseness; you watched me, and now and then smiled at me with a simple yet sagacious grace I cannot describe." (Chapter 27)

Her smiles needed to make her and Mr. Rochester's chemistry and humor to work in the show.

The 1973 version has a reputation for being light-hearted and there are many funny moments there compare to other versions. In order to make that happen, the relationship between Jane and Mr. Rochester is portrayed as gleeful and grumpy pairing - Jane is seen perpetually amused and patient while Mr. Rochester is sarcastic and prone to be serious. Mr. Rochester, portrayed by Michael Jayston is often look grumpy and say whatever things he has on his mind then Jane choose to remain cool and say something funny to counter his thoughts. It actually works and it results to a great chemistry between them. Now can you to imagine what if Jane looked sad often in the show.

It has a tragic backstory - she learned it from Helen

While there is humor in 1973, it doesn't forget that there at least few moments that are sad just like in the novel. One of them is the story of Helen. Helen is one of the few people in Lowood that Jane befriended. She taught Jane how to remain humble and forgiving after the latter experienced abuse in Gateshead Hall. In this version, Helen herself is often seen smiling and it says so in the novel.

"What a smile! I remember it now, and I know that it was the effluence of fine intellect, of true courage; it lit up her marked lineaments, her thin face, her sunken grey eye, like a reflection from the aspect of an angel." (Chapter 7)

Even on her death, Helen chose to smile and told Jane who was seen sad and some sort of scaredy-cat not to worry about her. This could probably explain why adult Jane remain looking optimistic. We never know when Jane started to do it but whenever she does that she learned it from Helen.

We will know each other by the way we eat hot dogs: like corn on the cob, nibbling rapaciously at dog, bun, and sauces while rotating it. Our eyes desperately seeking recognition in the faces gathering around us as we decimate dog after dog. They will find no purchase, no substrate of common meaning, so between us and the strangers is only the stagnant air of madness. As we are consumed by a sea of hot dog particulate cast forth from our desperate chewing, as we lose meaning in repetition, the evergrowing crowds of unknowing, uncaring faces around us and the hotdog effluence will merge, and though our minds and lives are lost in pattern we will have contacted one another in a fashion more intimate then that afforded in our age.

if you see funny text posts with a lot of notes from a particular user on tumblr, you might feel tempted to follow the original poster. "well, most of their posts seem funny!" you tell yourself. do not do this. their posts are only funny very rarely. you are seeing the posts which survived the culling and rose to the top. the rest of the time, the original poster is shooting off dozens, hundreds, maybe thousands of text posts which are abominable duds. these posters have made an art and a discipline out of inventing new and remarkable ways of being as irritating as possible. if you find yourself of sensitive constitution, please remember that you do not need to join the throng of followers who serve as a kind of posting filter, protecting the masses from their effluence. the good posts will find you.

There’s like 13 Star Trek shows and I’ve only ever watched TOS so I’m sure it’s been done. But I am absolutely picturing the captain and his commanding officers being captured or whatever and the bad guys start boarding the ship and the captain just starts. Laughing. Bad guy wants to know what he finds so amusing and the captain just goes “you really haven’t interacted much with Federation ships, have you?” See, the reason there’s so much strict regimentation is that you’ve got like 300 of the best and brightest in one very large tin can, and the best and brightest are actually just a little too good at taking initiative. Absent of command and faced with a hostile force they’re going to defend their home. Creatively. Liam from custodial’s up the turbo-lift shaft and his buddy’s asking if chemical attacks aren’t considered a war crime. “It’s lavoratory effluence so technically it’s a biological attack, and don’t be boring, Greg. On the count of three.” The botany department has samples of about fifteen different species with potential defensive applications and a gaggle of grad students who immediately realized this is a great way to skip like six months of testing. The transporter engineers spent the first year of training being taught what not to do to people and the rest of their careers wondering what would happen if they did: now they get to find out. Not even counting the non-humans who finally get to show off all their own cool evolutionary tricks that they usually have to be polite and considerate about. It’s the most resounding defeat the bad guys have ever experienced, and five minutes later the archeology department is taking down the door with their digging laser and the communications team is marching in with improvised sonic weapons. Inexplicably they’ve all managed to put on war paint and ludicrous costumes. About a hundred of the crew members had no idea anything was going on and are upset that they missed out.

Hi, I'm a university student, woman, carmelite, consecrated to Our Lady according to the method of Saint Luis Maria of Montfort. Please, could you pray for me fiding a relationship that is totally align with the chastity principles for lay members, if it is God's will?

I had to lie to someone saying I was taken when I'm not, in order to keep the chastity principle and to avoid this person keeping any hope and keep insisting, but I don't like lying, and I'm a bit afraid of the consequences of this lie. Please, could you pray for me?

(Also, saying the religious reasons could have hurt the person, so it was better to simply say "I already have someone").

May God Bless you ✝❤

I have to admit, that I don't fully know bout the chastity principles for lay members. But I will be praying for you. And I have included some prayers under the read more that you may find useful. Feel free to modify them where you see fit.

A prayer to find a spouse

All-good and merciful Lord, I know that any enduring happiness in my life dependeth upon my wholehearted love for Thee and upon keeping Thy commandments and obeying Thy Holy Will in all things. Wherefore, direct my steps, O God, and fill my heart with Thy Grace. I seek to please Thee alone, for Thou art my Creator and my God. Preserve me from pride and self-love. Let reason, modesty, and chastity adorn me. Deliver me from idleness which is hateful unto Thee and breedeth vice; grant me to be diligent and fruitful in labor, and bless thou my work. Thy law commandeth that husband and wife live in chaste matrimonial union. Wherefore lead me, Holy Father, to this blessed calling not for the satisfaction of the passions but unto the fulfilment of Thy commandment; for Thou hast said that it is not good that man should be alone and, having created woman as his companion, Thou didst bless them to be fruitful and multiply that they may fill the earth. Hear my humble prayer which ascendeth unto thee from the depths of my heart: Grant unto me an honest and pious spouse that, through our love and harmony, we nay together serve and praise Thee, our compassionate God, and do Thy will and bless Thine all-holy name, of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

A prayer of single persons

O Lord, who hast set forth for us an example of perfect purity, strengthen me, I beseech Thee, when temptation doth beset me, and when strong passions seek to overwhelm me, that I may remain constant in virtue and innocent in thought, word, and deed, doing only such things that are well pleasing to Thee. Grant me growth in wisdom and understanding, that I may serve Thee in holiness all the days of my life, through the intercessions of Thine all-immaculate Mother and of all Thy Saints, especially my Patron Saint [name]. Amen.

A prayer for purity

O Master, Lord my God, in whose hands are my lots, help me according to Thy mercy and do not allow me to be destroyed by mine iniquities, nor permit me by my will to follow the desires of my flesh against my spirit. I was fashioned by Thee, do not forsake the works of Thy Hands. Turn not Thy Face away from me, have pity and do not despise me, neither forsake me, O Lord, for I am weak and it is to Thee, my protecting God, that I have fled to for refuge. Heal my soul, for I have sinned against Thee. Save me for the sake of Thy Mercy, for upon Thee have I cast myself from my very youth. May those who war against me be put to shame, and may those who seek to separate me from Thee through immodest acts, unseemly thoughts and unprofitable recollections be turned back. Chase far from me every impurity, that foul effluence of evil. For Thou alone art holy, Thou alone art mighty, Thou alone art immortal, having unfathomable power against all things, and it is through Thee that every power is given against the devil and his might. For unto Thee are due all glory, honour, and worship, to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

Psalm 50

Have mercy on me, O God, according to Thy great mercy; and according to the multitude of Thy compassions blot out my transgression. Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I know mine iniquity, and my sin is ever before me. Against Thee only have I sinned and done this evil before Thee, that Thou mightest be justified in Thy words, and prevail when Thou art judged. For behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother bear me. For behold, Thou hast loved truth; the hidden and secret things of Thy wisdom hast Thou made manifest unto me. Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be made clean; Thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow. Thou shalt make me to hear joy and gladness; the bones that be humbled, they shall rejoice. Turn Thy face away from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from Thy presence, and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation, and with Thy governing Spirit establish me. I shall teach transgressors Thy ways, and the ungodly shall turn back unto Thee. Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation; my tongue shall rejoice in Thy righteousness. O Lord, Thou shalt open my lips, and my mouth shall declare Thy praise. For if Thou hadst desired sacrifice, I had given it; with whole-burnt offerings Thou shalt not be pleased. A sacrifice unto God is a broken spirit; a heart that is broken and humbled God will not despise. Do good, O Lord, in Thy good pleasure unto Sion, and let the walls of Jerusalem be builded. Then shalt Thou be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, with oblation and whole-burnt offerings. Then shall they offer bullocks upon Thine altar.
