Mass Effect 3: Best “replacement” character ↳ Padok Wiks
We all fracture in different ways. Mordin's conscience haunted him. Maelon crossed the line into barbaric experiments. And myself... I went searching for whatever gods created the rules for this unfortunate universe.

St. Christopher, The Christbearer
Dog-man, Cynocephali Saint, christened by baby Jesus after helping him cross a river.
The Dogheaded people
They were seen by conquerors, explorers, evangelists and described in detail. Alexander the Great, Marco Polo, St. Augustine, Christopher Columbus all described these creatures. You also have Anubis the Egyptian god and St.Christopher who was converted to Catholicism and achieved Saint-hood by helping believers cross a river.
There were letters corresponding with the Vatican on whether or not these dog headed men could be saved or not. The Catholic church was not surprised and simply asked if their eyes were on the front of their heads or on the sides. Apparently dog headed men were nothing new to cultures around the world.
'Ratramnus’s Epistola de Cynocephalis, is a letter written concerning if dog headed men could be saved. The response was yes based on the evidence that they showed the ability to have free will; they wore clothes, kept animals, had relationships, and obeyed laws etc. So they could choose salvation and therefore could be worth ministering to.
( Canaanites = canines, described as cannibals and great fighters who did detestable things.)
In Tibet there was recorded history of over 200,000 living in a village. They lived in Parts of India along the Mountain Range, there are traces of them in the Celtic lands they lived in Ireland.
St. Christopher is the patron saint for travelers. Dog-headed people often have acted as guides, ferries and Shepards. I will cover this in a future post, which will feature Xolotl and Aztec Gods, including Anubis!
Canines are interwoven into human history.
On these mountains there live men with the head of a dog, whose clothing is the skin of wild beasts. They speak no language, but bark like dogs, and in this manner make themselves understood by each other. Their teeth are larger than those of dogs, their nails like those of these animals, but longer and rounder. They inhabit the mountains as far as the river Indus. Their complexion is swarthy. They are extremely just, like the rest of the Indians with whom they associate. They understand the Indian language but are unable to converse, only barking or making signs with their hands and fingers by way of reply, like the deaf and dumb. They are called by the Indians Calystrii, in Greek Cynocephali (“dog-headed “). [They live on raw meat.] They number about 120,000. Near the sources of this river1 grows a purple flower, from which is obtained a purple dye, as good in quality as the Greek and of an even more brilliant hue. In the same district there is an animal about the size of a beetle, red as cinnabar, with very long feet, and a body as soft as that of a worm. It breeds on the trees which produce amber, eats their fruit and kills them, as the woodlouse destroys the vines in Greece. The Indians crush these insects and use them for dyeing their robes and tunics and anything else they wish. The Cynocephali living on the mountains do not practice any trade but live by hunting. When they have killed an animal they roast it in the sun. They also rear numbers of sheep, goats, and asses, drinking the milk of the sheep and whey made from it. They eat the fruit of the Siptakhora, whence amber is procured, since it is sweet. They also dry it and keep it in baskets, as the Greeks keep their dried grapes. They make rafts which they load with this fruit together with well-cleaned purple flowers and 260 talents of amber, with the same quantity of the purple dye, and 1000 additional talents of amber, which they send annually to the king of India. They exchange the rest for bread, flour, and cotton stuffs with the Indians, from whom they also buy swords for hunting wild beasts, bows, and arrows, being very skillful in drawing the bow and hurling the spear. They cannot be defeated in war, since they inhabit lofty and inaccessible mountains. Every five years the king sends them a present of 300,000 bows, as many spears, 120,000 shields, and 50,000 swords. They do not live in houses, but in caves. They set out for the chase with bows and spears, and as they are very swift of foot, they pursue and soon overtake their quarry. The women have a bath once a month; the men do not have a bath at all, but only wash their hands. They anoint themselves three times a month with oil made from milk and wipe themselves with skins. The clothes of men and women alike are not skins with the hair on, but skins tanned and very fine. The richest wear linen clothes, but they are few in number. They have no beds, but sleep on leaves or grass. He who possesses the greatest number of sheep is considered the richest, and so in regard to their other possessions. All, both men and women, have tails above their hips, like dogs, but longer and more hairy. They are just, and live longer than any other men, 170, sometimes 200 years (Ctesias, “Indica”, from Photius I).

HALLMARK CHANNEL'S "SPRING INTO LOVE"
All premieres are at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
Love in the Maldives Starring: Jocelyn Hudon and Jake Manley Premieres: Saturday, April 1 Rae Parker (Hudon) has a very fabulous, single life that attracts thousands of readers to her monthly travel column, “Reservation for One.” Rae is surprised when her editor wants to send her to the world’s most romantic vacation destination -- The Conrad Maldives. She’s an adventurous spirit and staying at the luxurious Muraka makes it difficult for her to find the type of experiences she needs to write an article worthy of her column. It doesn’t help that Rae is terribly afraid of the open ocean and a hotel that floats in the middle of it. After a few failed solo attempts, Rae realizes she needs some guidance and support to undertake some of the challenges outside of her comfort zone. The Conrad’s guest experience expert, Jared Joseph (Manley), steps in and makes it his personal mission to give Rae the adventure she’s looking for…
The Professional Bridesmaid Starring: Hunter King and Chandler Massey Premieres: Saturday, April 8 Years ago, Maggie Bailey (King) realized she had a particular skill set for being an ace bridesmaid -- and she went pro. Now she uses her talents to help brides navigate the tricky emotional and social dynamics that go along with planning their big day in addition to the practical. Her latest client, Alexis Shepard (Francesca Bianchi), is the daughter of Columbus’ mayor who is up for re-election. Alexis’ wedding promises to be the event of the summer with lots of scrutiny, so the mayor’s team hires Maggie to join the bridal party and help keep everything on track. But no one can know that Maggie is a hired bridesmaid, so she is introduced as Alexis’ old friend Maisie. Unfortunately, Henry Whittington (Massey), an ambitious local reporter assigned to the society story is sniffing around hoping to get close to the mayor for a scoop on the pending development of local park land. To pull off her assignment, Maggie must coordinate three unhelpful bridesmaids and keep Henry focused on the wedding while hiding her identity, even as she begins to grow closer to him.
The Wedding Cottage Starring: Erin Krakow and Brendan Penny Premieres: Saturday, April 15 A wedding guide creator (Krakow) must convince an uninspired artist and owner of a special wedding cottage (Penny) to renovate the rundown cottage to host a contest-winning couple for their dream wedding.
A Pinch of Portugal Starring: Heather Hemmens and Luke Mitchell Premieres: Saturday, April 22 When a celebrity chef walks off his show, prep cook Anna (Hemmens) must step into the spotlight and make the show her own, with the help of her Aussie cameraman (Mitchell) and Portuguese location scout.
The Spin Cycle (working title) Starring: Erin Cahill and Marco Grazzini Premieres: Saturday, April 29 Hazel Miller (Cahill) is a top publicist in New York City looking to build her empire. Diego Vasquez (Grazzini) is a top MLB pitcher who froze during Game 7 of the World Series. He also happens to be the guy who shattered Hazel’s heart in high school. When Hazel is tasked with spinning Diego’s image, it might be her biggest challenge professionally, and personally, as she takes him back to their hometown in Ohio to deal with what they've both left behind.
HALLMARK MOVIES & MYSTERIES

The Blessing Bracelet (DaySpring movie) Starring: Amanda Schull and Carlo Marks Premieres: Sunday, April 9 Dawn Spencer (Schull) approaches the Easter holiday trying to balance being a single parent while working to get out of the debt left behind by her ex-husband. Feeling overwhelmed, Dawn unearths a bracelet she made years earlier and stored away. She created it using four beads with the intention of using each one as a reminder to count the blessings in her life. As Dawn begins to focus on the good, her faith is renewed, and her life takes a positive turn. Thanks to the support of Dawn’s church community and the encouragement by Ben (Marks), who recently came into her life, the blessing bracelets help take her down a path she never could have imagined.
Spring Breakthrough (Mahogany movie) Starring: Keesha Sharp, Demetrius Grosse, Rhyon Nicole Brown and Akono Dixon Premieres: Sunday, April 30 Single mother Monica Rollins (Sharp) excitedly waits for her daughter, Vivian (Brown), to come home for spring break, their annual tradition. Days before, after years of tireless dedication to her job, Monica is unceremoniously fired. To make matters worse, Monica is dealt with a second blow when Vivian announces her surprise engagement to Shawn (Dixon), someone Monica didn't even know existed and travels to The Gulf Shores for the engagement celebration. En route, she meets Clark Randall (Grosse), who also happens to be Shawn’s godfather, at the airport and an unexpected flirtation ignites.

Exploring Brandon Boyd’s Collaborative Art Projects
Brandon Boyd, the renowned lead vocalist of the rock band Incubus, has made significant strides not only in music but also in the visual arts. His collaborative art projects have showcased his multifaceted talent and passion for creativity. These projects not only highlight his artistic evolution but also emphasize the powerful synergy created when diverse art forms intersect. This exploration delves into the various collaborative endeavors Boyd has undertaken, shedding light on how his artistic vision has transcended traditional boundaries.
Brandon Boyd: An Artistic Journey
Brandon Boyd journey into the world of art began long before he became a household name with Incubus. Born into a family that valued creativity, Boyd was exposed to art and music from a young age. His early influences included his parents, who were both artists, and the vibrant artistic community of Southern California. This nurturing environment fostered his love for drawing and painting, which he pursued alongside his musical ambitions.
The transition from music to visual arts was a natural progression for Boyd. His experiences as a musician enriched his artistic perspective, allowing him to infuse his visual art with the same emotional depth and intensity that characterized his music. This seamless integration of his dual passions is evident in his collaborative art projects, where music and visual art coexist harmoniously.
Notable Collaborative Projects
Boyd's collaborative efforts have spanned various domains, reflecting his versatility as an artist. One of his most notable collaborations was with fellow musicians. He partnered with artists like Ben Kenney and Mike Einziger from Incubus to create multimedia projects that combined live music performances with dynamic visual displays. These collaborations not only entertained audiences but also pushed the boundaries of traditional concert experiences.
In addition to his work with musicians, Boyd has also teamed up with visual artists. His collaboration with Shepard Fairey, the artist behind the iconic Obama "Hope" poster, resulted in a series of visually stunning pieces that melded Boyd's intricate line work with Fairey's bold graphic style. This partnership highlighted the complementary nature of their artistic approaches, resulting in works that resonated with fans of both artists.
Multimedia Fusion
The fusion of music and visual art is a recurring theme in Boyd's collaborative projects. He has often sought to create immersive experiences that engage multiple senses. One such project is "Sons of the Sea," a solo music endeavor where Boyd's artwork accompanied the album. The visual elements provided a deeper narrative layer to the music, creating a cohesive and enriching experience for the audience.
Another notable example is his work with video artist Marco Brambilla. Together, they crafted a series of music videos that were not merely promotional tools but standalone pieces of art. These videos combined Boyd's lyrical storytelling with Brambilla's avant-garde visual techniques, resulting in captivating and thought-provoking works that challenged conventional music video aesthetics.
Impact and Reception
Boyd's collaborative art projects have garnered critical acclaim and public admiration. Critics have praised his ability to seamlessly blend different art forms, creating works that are greater than the sum of their parts. His projects have been featured in prestigious galleries and exhibitions, further cementing his reputation as a versatile and innovative artist.
The public response has been equally enthusiastic. Fans of Boyd's music have embraced his visual art endeavors, appreciating the depth and creativity he brings to each project. His ability to connect with audiences on multiple levels has made his collaborative works highly influential in both the contemporary art and music scenes.
Future Prospects
Looking ahead, Boyd shows no signs of slowing down. He has hinted at several upcoming projects that promise to further explore the intersection of music and visual art. Potential collaborations with emerging artists and seasoned veterans alike are on the horizon, suggesting that Boyd's artistic journey is far from over.
One exciting prospect is his plan to integrate virtual reality into his art projects. This innovative approach aims to create even more immersive experiences, allowing audiences to step inside his artistic world. By continually pushing the boundaries of his craft, Boyd is poised to remain a significant figure in the art world for years to come.
In conclusion, Brandon Boyd's collaborative art projects exemplify his boundless creativity and ability to transcend traditional artistic boundaries. His work not only enriches the cultural landscape but also inspires others to explore the possibilities of interdisciplinary art. As Boyd continues to innovate and collaborate, his contributions to both music and visual art will undoubtedly leave a lasting legacy. For more on his remarkable journey and artistic endeavors, you can explore the extensive work of Brandon Boyd in both fields.

Stockholm: Fotographiska
Heute haben wir uns einen langen Nachmittag im Fotographiska gegönnt. Dieses Museum für Fotographiekunst gibt es auch in New York und Berlin. Hier ist es in einem schönen alten Backsteingebäude, vermutlich ehemals ein Handelshaus, am Wasser untergebracht.
Wir haben Werke gesehen von
Shepard Fairey,
sehr interessante Videoinstallationen von Eli Eli und Marcos Kay,
Und sehr aussagekräftige, geschichtenerzählende Bilder des Prix Pictet Human.
Wir haben es sehr genossen.
Zum Abschluss gab es noch Kaffee im dazugehörenden Restaurant in einem sehr, sehr schönen dunklem Stil. Noch dazu gab es große Fenster mit "What a View"
Quer durch Södermalm ging es dann zurück in unser Appartement.
Noch ein paar Gedanken zu diesem Stadtteil, was wir auf langen Spaziergängen ausgiebig erkundet haben:
Es gibt hier viele hohe Neubauten, Wohnsilos könnte man auch sagen. Sie wirken aber gar nicht so, weil alles grün ist. Jeder Innenhof hat Blumenflächen, die täglich gepflegt werden. Jede unbebaute Fläche hat wunderbar verwinkelte Spielplätze, Bänke, Beete. Ständig fragten wir uns, wo denn die Autos seien?? Die sieht man hier einfach nicht! Nirgendwo parkende Autoreihen. Stattdessen Fahrradschuppen und E-Roller Parkplätze.
Überall sind auch größere Parks mit Spiel -und Picknickplätzen. Eigentlich an jeder Ecke, mit Treppen und Pfaden verbunden. Und Bänke, unzählige Bänke. Und Schaukeln:
Außerdem wird hier so viel gerannt, dass es auffällt. Alle möglichen Menschen joggen. Zu jeder Tageszeit, manche schnell, manche mit Gewichtswesten, manche langsam und gemächlich.
Und noch was: Hier liegt kein Müll. Ich habe Kolonnen von Müllsammler*innen gesehen, die jedes noch so kleine Fitzelchen einsammeln.
Zu all dem passt, dass man es hier als Raucherin wirklich schwer hat. Rauchen ist verpönt. Schweden will bis zum Jahr 2025 "rauchfrei" werden. Sie sind auf dem besten Weg, würde ich sagen. Ob das Snussen besser ist, darüber wird auch hier gestritten. Aber rauchende Menschen habe ich im Vergleich zu Deutschland sehr wenig gesehen.
Healthy. Das Wort beschreibt für mich Södermalm, vielleicht ganz Stockholm, vielleicht Schweden. Ich weiss nicht genau, ob ich diesem Bild trauen kann, oder warum es sich nicht restlos nur gut anfühlt. Vielleicht weil es eben auch "brav" erscheint.
Morgen geht es dann weiter. Nach Mora am Siljansee. Bei genauerem Lesen der Beschreibung des hastig gebuchten Hauses habe ich entdeckt, das wir ein Haus am/im - Achtung- Tomteland gebucht haben! Im Weihnachtsmannland! Bleibt gespannt :)
