The Work of Terence and Dennis McKenna – An Appreciation | Ralph Metzner's Blog Reading the fraternal autobiography, The Brotherhood of the Screaming Abyss, was for me both fascinating and moving, as I was and remain close friends with both the brothers, have shared stimulating conversations and psychedelic explorations with them, and was deeply saddened by Terence’s early death. Terence became known for his scintillating eloquence and Irish gift of the gab, like my old friend from an earlier generation Timothy Leary. His scintillating flights of the imagination, mixing far-out speculative science and arcane scholarship, delivered in his characteristic dead-pan nasally inflected voice – have astonished and delighted thousands – and remain in disembodied recordings circulating worldwide on the internet. As his brother Dennis writes “Terence channeled the logos of the age. Silver-tongued and a riveting speaker, he articulated the concepts that his fans groped for but could not express, and did so in a witty, disarming way. The experiment at La Chorera

List of Unicode characters Character reference overview[edit] HTML and XML provide ways to reference Unicode characters when the characters themselves either cannot or should not be used. A numeric character reference refers to a character by its Universal Character Set/Unicode code point, and a character entity reference refers to a character by a predefined name. A numeric character reference uses the format &#nnnn; or &#xhhhh; where nnnn is the code point in decimal form, and hhhh is the code point in hexadecimal form. In contrast, a character entity reference refers to a character by the name of an entity which has the desired character as its replacement text. &name; where name is the case-sensitive name of the entity. Because numbers are harder for humans to remember than names, character entity references are most often written by humans, while numeric character references are most often produced by computer programs.[1] Control codes[edit] Footnotes: 6 Control-O has been the "discard output" key. Basic Latin[edit]

Left-hand path and right-hand path The Baphomet, from Eliphas Levi's "Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie", 1854, adopted symbol of some "Left-Hand Path" belief systems. The terms Left-Hand Path and Right-Hand Path refer to a dichotomy between two opposing approaches found in Western esotericism, which itself covers various groups involved in the occult and ceremonial magic. In some definitions, the Left-Hand Path is equated with malicious Black magic and the Right-Hand Path with benevolent White magic.[1]:152 Other occultists have criticised this definition, believing that the Left-Right dichotomy refers merely to different kinds of working, and does not necessarily connote good or bad magical actions.[1]:176 Terminology[edit] There is no set accepted definition of what comprises the Left-Hand Path and what comprises the Right. Right-Hand Path[edit] The Right-Hand Path is commonly thought to refer to magical or religious groups which adhere to a certain set of characteristics: The occultists Dion Fortune[3] and William G.

Underground Website Lets You Buy Any Drug Imaginable | | Oddly_EvenOddly_Even Making small talk with your pot dealer sucks. Buying cocaine can get you shot. What if you could buy and sell drugs online like books or light bulbs? Now you can: Welcome to Silk Road. About three weeks ago, the U.S. Mark, a software developer, had ordered the 100 micrograms of acid through a listing on the online marketplace Silk Road. “It kind of felt like I was in the future,” Mark said. Silk Road, a digital black market that sits just below most internet users’ purview, does resemble something from a cyberpunk novel. Here is just a small selection of the 340 items available for purchase on Silk Road by anyone, right now: a gram of Afghani hash; 1/8 ounce of “sour 13″ weed; 14 grams of ecstasy; .1 gram tar heroin. The sellers are located all over the world, a large portion from the United States and Canada. But even Silk Road has limits: You won’t find any weapons-grade plutonium, for example. Getting to Silk Road is tricky. Edgarnumbers is selling these 2C-B "blue bees" tablets.

Unicode Chart - Ian-Albert.com My fascination with writing sys­tems gave me the idea to cre­ate a po­ster con­tain­ing every Uni­code char­acter. Uni­code is a me­thod for en­cod­ing char­act­ers, like ASCII, but it can rep­re­sent virt­u­al­ly ev­ery writ­ing sys­tem in the world, not just English. I estimated I could print the whole thing on about a 36″×36″ po­ster. Well, my es­tim­ates were off. It turned out to be about 6 feet by 12 feet. Like­wise, the pro­cess of cre­a­ting the po­ster turned out to be much more in­volved than I imagined. To make a long story short, I down­loaded all the char­act­er chart PDFs from the Uni­code web site. I then wrote soft­ware in Java to load in these PNG images, dice them up, and as­sem­ble them into the final po­ster image. The image only took about 10 min­utes to gen­er­ate, and its final size was 22,017×42,807 pixels. Successively closer zooms of the source image. As you might expect, Chinese, Jap­an­ese and Ko­re­an char­act­ers take up most of the chart.

Games Tutorial: How to Paint Realistic Hair Wed 9th Apr 2014, by Linda Berkgvist | Tutorial Painting hair isn't, obviously, like painting a face. Doing a tutorial on it is a wildly different experience than a face tutorial. Throughout the tutorial you'll see some little tips and tricks added to the actual instruction pictures. Step 1 Instructions: The first thing you need to do is to decide on the colour of the hair. Important: WORK ON A LARGE CANVAS. Common mistakes: Starting out with a bright colour and then spending the rest of the time trying to darken it down with shadows. Step 2 Instructions: What's done next is the blocking in on the large locks of hair. Common mistakes: A lot of people start painting hair by painting the strands. Step 3 Pick a spackled brush now and try the clumps of hair out. Not considering the wind - a skirt blowing in one direction, for instance, and the hair in the other. Step 4 This is where the fun starts. Common Mistakes: Just painting over the blocks of hair. Step 5 Drawing individual strands too soon.
