5/13/2023 0 Comments Soul Cure by Gregory Dickow![]() Don’t get me wrong, changing my mindset and the way I saw yourself and others wasn’t as easy as perhaps it sounds, but with practice and Greg’s guidance I really feel I am getting there. ![]() ![]() I feel at ease and not under the same pressure like I used to feel sometimes. This makes me very happy, so I’m extremely glad I found this book. But not anymore, after reading Soul Cure my understanding of the interpretation of God’s love has changed, for the better, and I truly feel I’m heading on the right path for the first time ever. He also has his own TV show called “Power to Change” where he has transformed many, many lives by teaching them how to harness the power of their own mind and finding the true purpose of a soul’s life, understanding God’s love is completely different from how my own interpretation and understanding used to be. Author Gregory Dickow has been helping people to find peace, healing and transformation through Jesus Christ and the love of God. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments A farewell to arms first edition![]() ![]() ![]() He is brutal, arrogant, disrespectful, murderous, and sadistic. Zangetsu's most distinguishing features are his maniacal laughter and psychotic smiling. He retains Ichigo's physical build and hair, however, his face appears almost skull-like, similar to the Hollow mask that Ichigo wears when he draws on his Hollow powers. When manifested outside Ichigo's inner world from one of Ōetsu Nimaiya's Asauchi, Zangetsu's appearance is marginally the same. ![]() When he is later pulled out of Ichigo by the manifestation of Ichigo's Quincy powers, he wears a mask greatly resembling Ichigo's Hollowfied form from his battle against Ulquiorra Cifer, and has white, waist-length hair along with a white version of Ichigo's shihakushō in Bankai form. While Ichigo wears a standard black Shinigami shihakushō, his Zanpakutō spirit wears a white shihakushō with a black cloth belt. His eyes consist of black pupils, white irises, and black sclera. He is a fairly tall and lean-built being possessing white skin, a blue tongue, black nails and white hair. Zangetsu appears to be virtually identical to Ichigo, except inverted in color. ![]() ![]() ![]() Unfortunately for them, that “everyone” includes Mr. When there are unexplained events at the school, like the flag of Maldonia flying overhead, or a kidnapped mascot from a rival sports team, to some, er, inappropriate music playing over the PA system, everyone knows it’s Bruno and Boots at work.

With a combination of upper-middle-class entitlement, street credibility garnered by astronomical drug intake and PowerPoint-like sentence fragments and clipped dialogue, Frey proffers a book that is deeply flawed, too long, a trial of even the most naïve reader's credulousness-yet its posturings hit a nerve. Frey's work is more mirrored surface than depth, but this superficiality has its attractions. Pre-pub comparisons to those writers spring not from Frey's writing but from his attitude: as a recent advance profile put it, the 33-year-old former drug dealer and screenwriter "wants to be the greatest literary writer of his generation." While the Davids have their faults, their work is unquestionably literary. Frey is pretender to the throne of the aggressive, digressive, cocky Kings David: Eggers and Foster Wallace. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments Pam godwin knotted![]() As we all do, I have my favorite authors that I stick with consistently.

In an arch comic device that is never followed through, a formal voiceover lays out their backstory in the style of a fairytale: Outgoing American Donna (Janney) settled in Britain in the 1980s, marrying rich, suave, philandering Frenchman Henrique (Isaach De Bankolé) and giving birth to a daughter, Eloise, before divorcing and moving back to Indianapolis. ![]() ![]() The hated people of the title, it turns out, are our core trio of characters - a mostly unlikable bunch that the film seemingly invites us to root for by virtue of their sheer prominence. She’s largely thwarted, however, by a script from sister act Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin and Wendy Molyneux (TV’s “Bob’s Burgers,” the upcoming “Deadpool 3”) that hasn’t even the warmth to counter its limited wit. ![]() Keeping multiple storylines afloat with occasional split screens and hip needle-drops galore, the former editor does her best to pull off a similar new-old-school trick. That’s disappointing coming from director Claire Scanlon, a TV comedy pro whose debut feature, the much-loved 2018 Netflix sleeper “Set It Up,” had a genuine throwback spark to it: It too was more frothy than funny, but made up for it with a proper understanding of star chemistry and the genre’s rules of attraction. ![]() |
