Romance Stew : the Way To a Woman'S Heart

By: By Esq. Becky (Ruff) Reed

It is most probably true that "love isn't only a feeling, it's action...and putting someone else's needs and wants before your own at times." The traveling circus of life participants on a foreign planet left me always in quicksand of evaluating reality. Still, I thought creating my world was mine alone to do.

In fact, everything’s just fine as long we stay true to who we are with the optimism of a romantic, and we’re always cooking up another Stew . . .

By: By Ms. Becky (Ruff) Reed

Psychopathy is truly capturing the essence of "something wicked this way comes." The damage to victims/targets exists as palpable and affects humanity with the quiet spread like ripples in a pond.

Dieselpunk Epulp Showcase : Volume 1

By: By John W. Picha; Grant Gardiner

WELCOME TO THE RETRO FUTURE When I started the Dieselpunks website years ago, the word “dieselpunk” was still a curiosity. Sure, it was loaded with familiar tropes like Pulp Adventure, Film Noir, and Weird Horror, but the artists were mashing these concepts together with something different, something a little more contemporary. At that time, the steampunks were just starting to climb their way from the underground and gain traction as a legitimate style, but there ...

THE 1920s. MID-WESTERN COMMONWEALTH, CHICAGO. “Well if it ain’t that then what was it?” “It was all those damn fool bankers in New York.” “Bankers?” “Yeah, bankers. They’re the ones who caused everything that’s happened. A huge pack of New York bankers got greedy. And the country was the one to cop it in the teeth when it all headed south.” “Nah. It weren’t that.” “It was too. And everyone knows it. Bankers got greedy, they sold Louisiana back to the ...

Gandhi and His "Ji" : Grooming Up of a Fake

By: By Ved From Victoria Institutions

The Multitudes Personally I had nothing against him; only thing was that I couldn’t find anything great about him, other than the rhetoric. As I grew up and started having independent understandings on the realities of history, I increasingly found it difficult to find his greatness. As I grew up, I started seeing a lot of ‘Gandhis’ all round India; in fact, in every village, every small town, in every social group, there seemed to be at least one ‘Gandhi’; a person who...

Inaptness of Gandhian training As a very introduction to the topic, I would ask myself: Would I allow my children (who have been trained to imbibe the best of English (England) systems, despite my being non-White, and totally alien to English [England] antiquity) and other children who I have trained, to follow Gandhi himself as a follower or allow them to be trained by him or his followers? No, I will not if I can help it. For, it is sure to erase any level of pers...

Should the Nt Haustafeln Argue For Or Against the Ordination of Wo...

By: By Simon Bwambale, Ph.D.

Abstract The question whether to ordain women or not threatens the fabric of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The anti and the pro-ordination argument hinge on scripture, the only source of authority for the Remnant Church. This paper has made a critical observation of the arguments and concludes that neither of the camps is right. It has made a brief excursus into the backdrop that may have influenced the prohibitions and observed that it (the backdrop) may not certif...

Will Christine be able to see Tom? Will their relationship survive? Don't forget "The Boy Next...

It was hot that late-August evening, the kind of hot that makes you wonder if you really could fry an egg on the sidewalk. I decided to check on my motorcycle, the one thing I can count on lately, and maybe go for a ride. I walked into the garage and, sure enough, there it was, just beckoning to me. Sleek, black, and decidedly not girly. Some, like Sandy, my checkout lady at Kroger’s, “just ain’t sure,” but frankly I wasn’t sure what they weren’t sure of. As I wheel...
