The Access point forms the Wireless network, and all nodes or clients connect to the access point. See Setting up a home network. The access point, and network is identified by a SSID or service set identifier. Wireless access points usually broadcast this SSID so that connecting clients can connect to the correct network.

The screen shot below shows my home network with 2 wireless access points. One of these access point broadcasts 3 SSIDs. See this article for more details. A Wi-Fi access point is also configured to use a preset Wireless channel. Commonly used channels are 1,6, See Wiki. You can use wi-Fi test Apps to see what channels are being used in your location. It is important to note that Wi-fi channels do not correspond to number of devices that can be connected to the access point.

Each channel corresponds to a frequency that the Wi-fi devices work on, so if your access point is set to use channel 11, then all devices that try to connect to it must also communicate on channel The number of actual devices that can connect on a given channel is limited by the software on the router and by bandwidth. That is each device takes turns sending and receiving data on the channel.

Time slot multiplexing. This forum discussion goes into more detail. Most home networks Most new Because of the limited support of the 5GHz band by devices this band is generally quite clear. Conventional infrastructure mode relies on a access point through which all nodes on the wireless network communicate.

With an Ad Hoc network nodes can communicate with each other without an access point. Ad Hoc Wi-Fi networks will become very important as mesh networking evolves. Essentially it works the same ways as Bluetooth but is much faster and is designed to be used for the same type of applications.

Here is a video from the Wi-Fi Alliance that explains how it works. Here is a very good article that explains ad-hoc and wi-fi direct in more detail. This Samsung support articles show how to connect wifi direct devices.

It is common for many home networks and business networks to only allow their own authorized devices to use their wireless network. There are three common techniques available, which can be used either independently of each other, or together.

They are:. The client device will see a list of networks listed by name, and he can select the network from the list or enter the name in the network connection dialogue.

The problem with turning off broadcast SSID is that anyone who wants to configure a wireless device to connect to your network will need to know the name in advance.

If, as in a typical home network, you only have a fixed number of client computers then you can set this up yourself. This is a very powerful security feature that limits access to your wireless network to particular devices. Every device connected to a wireless network has a MAC media access control address. The address is in effect the address of the network adapter wireless or Ethernet , and is assigned by the adapter manufacturer, and is unique.

To configure this you need to configure each wireless access point to only allow communication from a specified addresses. This way it becomes easier for the ISP to understand the nature of requests and the gadgets making the same. The concept of Network Address Translation is all about deciphering the packets and forwarding them to the relevant gadgets. In addition to the accessories, the participating gadgets also play a major role in determining the home networking layout.

This is why it is necessary to check for the DHCP or the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol as a metric for the connected devices as the existence of this attribute automatically configures the device IP, making it easier for the network to identify the requests. Regardless of the home network layout, you choose for your home, it is necessary to invest in a top-shelf router that is capable of working as a potent firewall, selectively allowing and blocking traffic as per the security standards or the lack of thereof.

A good way to realize the home networks with precision is to rely on a proper designing software module to get the job done. The best options for creating network layouts are Lucidchart and Microsoft Visio. For advanced networks and meshes, it is advisable to rely on different colors for sorting out the connections. This means you can use orange or black for every fiber connection, red for Powerline connections, and black for UTP connections, so on and so forth.

This makes it easier to assign IP addresses to the gadgets and even identify the anomalies, if and when, they show up. The concept of setting up a home network remains simple i. Irrespective of the network diagram you choose to go with, it is necessary to offer Ethernet connectivity to the likes of Television and gaming PC, so as to minimize the latency and procure maximum speeds for buffering and streaming.

Plus, if the house is big enough or you are looking to connect the three to four stories at once, proper segregation of Switches and WAPs becomes all the more important. If you are still unsure about the best layout for your establishment and the best routing devices, switches, and other accessories for the job, feel free to reach out in the comments.

Step 1: Before you begin Before you start setting up a local network, make sure you have the following hardware:. Wireless network interface card NIC or an on-the-motherboard wireless network port for each computer.

Confirm the computer has a wireless network antenna. The antenna might be a part of internal networking hardware, or the antenna might be external and should be connected to the back of the computer. Wireless router or access point.

If you need a network hub, consult with a network specialist at your local computer store to determine a hub that meets your needs. Follow these steps before you continue with setting up and connecting your network hardware:. Disconnect from the Internet. If you have a DSL or cable modem, disconnect it. Disable any firewall software. Firewall software might interfere with network setup. You can enable the firewall after network setup is complete. Step 2: Set up and connect the network hardware for a local network Set up and turn on the power for the wireless network router or other networking device.

Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer to connect a broadband cable or DSL modem to the router and set up security for the wireless network. Configure the wireless router The router is the communication center of your home network. To configure the wireless router for your local network, connect the router to the modem if the router and modem are separate , and temporarily connect a network cable from the computer to the wireless router.

Follow the specific installation instructions that came with your router. The router and the computer must use the same communication protocols Connect a network cable from a network port on the computer to one on the wireless router.

Open a web browser and type the router IP address to connect to the router. See the following table for common router IP addresses, user names, and passwords. If the information is not correct for your router, check with the manufacturer. Type in a new name. Do not use the default name. You should set up wireless security when you configure the router. Password or passphrase : Never use blank password. For better security, use a password or passphrase that is more than 8 characters and contains letters and numbers.

Once the finalists are determined, they play in a best-of-seven game series, with four wins being required to claim the championship.

Where the NBA Finals are located depends on which two teams make it to the championship series. The team with the better record heading into the Finals is given home court advantage for the series. This is important, as the team with home court advantage gets to host the first two games of the series, as well as games five and seven. NBA Finals history is filled with memorable moments, which is part of what makes the series such a legacy-defining event.

Of course, it is difficult to mention greatness in the NBA Finals without mentioning Michael Jordan, thought by many to be the greatest player in league history. Jordan averaged over 33 points per game in his Finals career, in which he won six titles in six Finals appearances with the Chicago Bulls.

Over that span, his teams never even had to play an elimination game. The finals format matches the rest of the playoffs with scheduling. The first three rounds rely on tournament seeding to determine home-court advantage, but the NBA Finals go off the best regular-season record.

Games 1, 2, 5 and 7 are hosted by the team with home-court advantage, with the remainder hosted by the opposing team. Get your NBA Finals tickets to root your team onto a championship! The NBA Finals have a lot of variables that can affect the pricing for tickets. As one of the biggest events in American sports, tickets are in high demand, but great seats can be found on TicketSmarter!

Some of the factors that will affect the ticket prices include the teams playing, the popularity of each team, the host cities, arena capacity and seating locations. Upper-level seating is typically cheaper than what is found in the lower levels. Seats located in the corners or behind the basket are cheaper than the tickets at the half-court point.

NBA Finals ticket prices have been significantly less expensive for home games in Cleveland than they have been for games hosted by the Warriors. By Brad Tuttle June 12,

I often buy multiple copies to pass out to friends, family, even random strangers on the plane! Oct 31, Miriam rated it liked it. I liked this fine. Having said that, it felt a little Like, let's have a bunch of white transplants move to the desert and fall in love with its magic and beauty. Oh, and a few brown people for "local color" and to help the white people find their way.

The attempts to tie it to a world of existing artists--Henry Miller, Anais Nin, a barely-disguised Frida Kahlo, Brian Froud--didn't really add to the story. It's just name dropping and "realism". As for the argument that fair OK. As for the argument that fairy tales and magic somehow don't get proper treatment in the academy or the canon of littratoor, that's probably true.

It's a page-turner. That's fine. And it has deep respect for the creative arts--especially poetry quoting famous poets throughout, basing the story on a poetry collection and painting. But I don't buy that I don't consider it littratoor solely because it has supernatural beings in it. Spoiler alert: if Cooper's poems ARE in fact based in reality, in describing what he actually saw, as opposed to the previous interpretation that these were all metaphors and symbolic language, does that cheapen or enhance the poetic work?

If before people thought that he was creating his own mythology and language to discuss is, and now they see that he was just describing what he saw, to me, that's a step down in terms of the importance of his work, or its originality or intent.

I suppose all poetry is descriptive could be wrong about that, I admit it , but if you're just putting down the various spirits you talk to and what they say and stand for, then how is your work creative or transcendent? This may also be a dumb question coming from a historian who does the exact same thing. But I never claimed to be an artist. Winner of the Mythopoeic Award.

It was written two years later in , and DeLint did a blurb for it, so I suppose he deserves credit - but the theme of this story is extremely similar.

However, I like Winner of the Mythopoeic Award. However, I liked this book a lot better - I am really a huge fan of Terri Windling in general, and I liked the characters, the setting, and just felt that it flowed really well Maggie Black, a sophisticated, successful writer, is unexpectedly named in the will of a famous poet that she had enjoyed a long correspondence with, but never met.

Having inherited his house and papers, although this is rendered bittersweet by the fact that the poet appears to have been murdered under mysterious circumstances, she goes to her new property in rural Arizona with the hopes of writing a biography of the man. In the Sonoran desert, she finds more than she bargained for, not only in the culture shock of the Southwest and the unexpected attraction of a young man she meets there But more than family drama may be involved, as strange visitations and unexplainable phenomena begin to occur Originally written as part of a project in tribute to Brian Froud, one might feel that his artwork is mentioned a few too many times Jan 25, Celia McMahon rated it really liked it.

I'd first come to know Froud when he worked with Jim Henson, and my love of him grew from there. Now, I am not a big art person, but when it comes to the weird and the mystical, I'm your girl. That's why I jumped at the chance to read this book. Also, I adore magical realism. Maggie Black inherits the estate of the deceased poet, Davis Cooper, and moves from the west coast to Arizona where she plans to uncover what really happened to her friend. Upon arriving in the southwest, she quickly finds herself in awe of its beauty and wonder.

The house is full of magical paintings, poems, and hints to what happened to Davis. Taking these clues, Maggie navigates the desert, its inhabitants, and her own past as she grows into the person she has always meant to become. To me, this book made me feel like I was in Arizona. I've only been there once, and it made an impression on me. Reading this felt like visiting again. This book is a love letter to the southwest and everything it embodies. We're grounded in reality, but find ourselves slipping into a fantasy world beyond our own.

But we only get glimpses. I've never walked the desert and climbed its mountains, but by reading this book I feel like I already have.

The aspects of the folklore and mystery kept me engaged. The writing was beautiful; it is pure poetry. This is a perfect novel that will stick with me for a long time. Recommend for people who want something magical set in a desert and helmed by a strong woman. I fell in love with Charles de Lint's Forests of the Heart early on, and after reading more of his works, decided to go for Terri Windling next, hoping for something similar in terms of both the mythic themes and the love of the desert.

I was also interested in how much, if any, Windling's and de Lint's friendship may have influenced their writings. There are may common elements between the two authors. The Wood Wife, to some extent, shares the same idea of consent reality found in de Lints books, and the idea of paintings creating bodies for spirits found in de Lint's Memory and Dream seems to be taken directly from this book.

Also, the obvious love for the desert is common between the two authors, as is the discontent with the urbanization of it. However, where the two authors diverge is their writing style. Windling is much more straightforward and much less lyrical than de Lint. However, she tends to describe things to a much greater extent -- especially the lighting.

When reading de Lint, I always got an impression of poetry, even though his works are strictly prose. With The Wood Wife, my impression despite the embedded poetry sprinkled throughout was of light.

There were many times while reading this book that I looked up from it to the set of paintings of desert sunsets I have hanging on my wall. She makes me want to go to the desert, just for a while, despite the fact that I've never been that far west in my life.

Sep 24, Suanne Laqueur rated it really liked it. A poet leaves his Tucson house and all his work to an artist in California. She moves to Arizona, and through subsequent friendships and a romance, begins to discover the poet, his talented and disturbed wife, and the magic of the Arizona desert.

Does life imitate art, or art life? Fantastic and gripping, you can actually feel the heat of the desert sun on the pages. Oct 23, Katie rated it really liked it Shelves: how-library , format-physical-book , books-read-in , books-read-innew. This is good, but we just didn't connect all the way, me and this book.

It probably didn't help that I thought the ex-husband was one of the most interesting characters. I don't think I was supposed to think that.

The Rincon Mountains are a place where spirits watch over the land and humans may either live in peace or at odds with these timeless beings. Here, the blurry line between mortal life and the spirit world wends itself through the characters' lives in a beguiling, serpentine manner. The natural world is all-encompassing in its wild thrivi 4. The natural world is all-encompassing in its wild thriving existence—so much deeper, wider, and longer than any mere human life.

But the poets and artists among us are those who hold the keys to connect and communicate with those others who walk unseen or simply unrecognized among us. And it is at that nexus of true art where the novel's power lies.

Probably the less said about the particulars of the plot here the better, for there is a mystery at play, woven from many different threads, and its shroud is best lifted ever so slowly by Windling herself.

Highly recommended for readers who enjoy subtle contemporary fantasy-mystery of a folkloric nature, and in particular those drawn to the desert lands of the American Southwest.

Mar 19, Jo Walton added it. Nov 04, Ethan rated it liked it. This book started out very well. It was quite interesting and the descriptions of the Southwest are excellent. The main character is well realized. Crow is well done, though the other human characters don't seem quite as powerful, and only Tomas is truly interesting, since the others are fairly bland. Sometimes the POV seems a bit sloppy, but them's the breaks with an omniscient narrator.

My main problem with the book was all the hippyesque blabbermouthing about mysticism and art. The poetry is This book started out very well. The poetry is far too prevalent and it is terrifically drab stuff. If you want to write a poetry book, then go for it, but don't write a so-called novel and slather it with line after line of dull poems.

Overall, and despite the goofy feelgood arty crap, I still enjoyed this book. There were plenty of interesting and surprising moments. Interestingly enough, Windling references the story of True Thomas, about whom Ellen Kushner wrote a book that I just happened to check out from the library at the same time. Both are pretty good books. Jun 18, Tim rated it it was amazing Shelves: fantasy , favorites , female-protagonist.

A terrific work of fantasy in a modern setting, drawing on vivid depictions of the landscape of the American southwest, subtly developed characters of real depth, and a dazzling imagination for surrealist art that blends seamlessly into the novel's reality.

I don't want to say too much more than that, really, but speaking of "seamless," I would note that the use of a poet and his poetry in a fictional context is hard to pull off without seeming painfully contrived. That it isn't -- that the poetr A terrific work of fantasy in a modern setting, drawing on vivid depictions of the landscape of the American southwest, subtly developed characters of real depth, and a dazzling imagination for surrealist art that blends seamlessly into the novel's reality.

That it isn't -- that the poetry is even an appealing component of the story -- could almost be considered as much of an achievement as the rest of this captivating tale and its endearing main characters. Jun 05, Lori Cooper rated it it was amazing.

I've always wanted to see the desert and now I feel as if I have actually been there. Terri Windling does a magnificent job of describing the scenery in such detail that I feel I have to sweep desert sand from my toes! Loved this book. So glad I found this at a thrift store for a quarter! Worth so much more! Feb 03, Margaret rated it really liked it Shelves: fairytale-myth-inspired , contemporary-fantasy. I went through a phase where I only wanted my folklore in vaguely historical realms--much like the stories themselves--but lately I've begun preferring them mixed into contemporary life and living.

Maybe this mirrors my own self now, a folklore lover that also works 4 jobs at a time, lives in a city, and wants to know there can still be some magic in the day to day. In The Wood Wife, This is one of those wonderful, contemporary mythic novels that blurs the boundaries between reality and folklore.

In The Wood Wife, writer Maggie inherits the remote Arizona home of her favorite poet Cooper, who she's never met but has been corresponding with for a long time. She fell in love with his poetry collection The Wood Wife, and ever since the two have exchanged letters. And can I just say, I want to read all of this poetry collection! Windling gives little snippets, but not enough for me. It reminded me of Songs for Ophelia by Theodora Goss, but with an underlying story to each poem.

Maggie is a city-smart cosmopolitan traveler, yet she ends up falling in love with Arizona. In Cooper's house, she finds snippets of poems, and also a room full of the magical paintings of Cooper's long deceased wife, Anna Neverra, whose work is often compared to Leonora Carrington, one of my favorite artists.

Anna's paintings and Cooper's poems hint at magical and folkloric creatures that haunt the Arizona wilderness. And a mystery that Maggie must solve.

If you like art and folklore in your fiction, then you're bound to enjoy this. I know this is a beloved book, and a bit of a classic for urban fantasy. The writing is lush, the story well-developed.

Strong characters, too. But the issues with appropriation overwhelm the whole of it for me. Re-reading some old favorites at random this month.

Really loved her ability to write magic into the real world which reminds me of Charles de Lint. However, instead of Ottawa, Windling makes the Southwest her domain. Not to be missed for anyone who loves modern fairy tales. Nov 17, Andrew K.

Lee rated it liked it. Floundering in life, trying to break out of a co-dependent relationship with her ex-husband, unable to maintain any other romantic relationships, and unsure what to do next with her life, Maggie Black is elated to learn that she has been left a cabin in the hills outside of Tucson.

Her benefactor is the late Davis Cooper, a Pulitzer-winning poet with whom she maintained a regular correspondence, and on whose work she wrote a thesis. Frustratingly, Cooper repeatedly put Maggie off when she sought to visit him in person or to see more of his work. Maggie must also untangle the riddle of how Cooper died, his lungs filled with water in the middle of the dry desert, and what went wrong in his tempestuous relationship with the surrealist painter Anna Naverra, a marriage that seems to have bound them both to the land while destroying their artistic outputs.

For the desert pulses with a deep magic that quickly draws her into its dangerous embrace, changing her life forever. Yet for as intriguing as the story is, the magic element is introduced clumsily.

When Maggie finally encounters the magical beings that have been lurking in the shadows throughout the story, there is none of the fear, or wonder, or surprise, that would be a normal response.

Even though we the readers know from the beginning that there is magic in this desert, it is incongruous that this seems so normal to Maggie when she finally discovers it. Perhaps, though, Maggie is not so surprised because even her ordinary life itself is magical—and this is the real weakness of this book.

There are suggestions that Maggie has been both a poet and a journalist, and at one time had some formal training in literature the thesis on Cooper , but these are mere throwaway details as Maggie drifts casually through life without apparently needing to worry about job or income. She is living in LA at the beginning of the book, and the book mentions that she spent time in the San Francisco Bay area with a boyfriend.

However, she also spent considerable time in England, where her best friend still lives, and mentions a passionate affair in Florence. Though one of her neighbors works two jobs to support her artist husband, all the other neighbors seems to enjoy art and volunteer work and music all without an apparent means of income. This is not the real world for most of us—even if we might wish it to be—and thus it means little that magical Maggie moves so easily from one enchanted world to another.

Feb 10, Naomi rated it it was amazing Shelves: five-star-reads , fantasy , read-in A book of mystical speculative fiction grounded in the desert mountains a character in their own right , with an endearing group of people and enough of an edge to the story that it sank into me.

Here European folklore and Southwest spirits merge; here painters, poets, farmers, and handymen attend to one another; here there are Celtic spirals and cacti spines.

The rains had brought autumn wildflowers to the rock-strewn mountain slopes. Yellow brittlebush blanketed the hillside and orange globe mallow lined the sides of the wash.

The small oval leaves of the cottonwood trees were turning autumnal gold. In the stillness of early evening eh could hear the call of the mourning doves, a lone coyote high in the hills, and sound of someone approaching, tires sliding on the old dirt road. An engine revved, revved again, then silence. A string of steady curses. Grinning, Fox got to his feet I accept the fact that [she] has visions; she is after all a woman, a witch, a lapsed Catholic, a painter, a Surrealist I can't see it, but I can almost hear it.

A low drum beat. A murmur of language. There are poems in these trees, in the rock underfoot. I resist it, this slow seduction. I need the source. I need a land where sun and wind will strip a man down to the soul and bleach his dying bones. The desert was bathed in a golden light, each cactus, each small tree vivid, distinct. Its beauty stopped her on the path. Something had changed. Something was different ever since she woke up that morning. Her eyes seemed to have adjusted now to the subtler colors of the Sonoran palette.

The desert was no longer an emptiness, an absence of water and dark northern greens, but an abundance: of sky, of silver and sage and sepia and indigo blue, of gold desert light, so pure, so clear she wanted to gather it up in her two cupped hands and drink it down. But is was the only thing that made sense of it all And that, Maggie thought, would be a loss. Type on a page. Runic shapes in black, black ink.

Words were chunks of turquoise in her hand; words were what protected her. Let me start out by saying that this book is very definitely set in the fantasy genre. This is not a genre that I read on a full-time basis. So I would like to apologize if I offend the purists out there. On a starry night in April, a famous author named Davis Cooper drowns He leaves the bulk of his money and property to poet Maggie Black with whom he's had a written correspondence, but never a face to face meeting.

Maggie comes to Arizona to write a biography of Davis Let me start out by saying that this book is very definitely set in the fantasy genre. Maggie comes to Arizona to write a biography of Davis. While doing her investigation she comes to meet all of his neighbors, both the human and non-human kind.

I really liked this book. The mystery was carefully woven through and there was lots of emotional stuff about Maggie learning to grow and love herself and those nice touchy-feely topics that girls enjoy. It was weird that the murder wasn't more prevalent. Everyone knew that Davis had been murdered, but it was unsolved and everyone was at peace with that.

There were no ominous shotguns with strangers telling Maggie to "keep outta this". But no one really tried to help her and she never thought about which of her neighbors could be the killer until way late in the book.

The one thing that I didn't really enjoy is that of the creatures. They were eventually identified as the spiritual mages. But there was a lot that was left blurry and weird phrases such as "I am that which cannot be identified. I would be terrible in the fantasy world because I would be wandering around going "Yes, but why?? So I think this is a gentle fantasy that isn't going to take people too far out of the comfort zone, but might be a good introduction to the fantasy genre.

She was full of sorrow and never ceased to think how hungry her father would be, and how her good mother would grieve, if she did not return home. At length, when it grew dark, she saw the light and came to the house in the wood. She begged quite prettily to be allowed to spend the night there.

And the man with the white beard once more asked his animals:. Then the girl went to the stove where the animals were lying, and petted the cock and hen, and stroked their smooth feathers with her hand, and caressed the brindled cow between her horns. Outside is food in plenty, I will look after them first. So she went and brought some barley and strewed it for the cock and hen, and a whole armful of sweet-smelling hay for the cow.

Then she fetched in a bucketful of water, and the cock and hen jumped on to the edge of it and dipped their beaks in. Then held up their heads as the birds do when they drink, and the brindled cow also took a hearty draught.

When the animals were fed, the girl seated herself at the table by the Old Man, and ate what he had left. It was not long before the cock and the hen began to thrust their heads beneath their wings, and the eyes of the cow likewise began to blink. Then the girl went up-stairs, shook the feather-beds, and laid clean sheets on them.

And when she had done it the Old Man came and lay down on one of the beds, and his white beard reached down to his feet.

The girl lay down on the other, said her prayers, and fell asleep. She slept quietly till midnight, and then there was such a noise in the house that she awoke. There was a sound of cracking and splitting in every corner. The doors sprang open, and beat against the walls. The beams groaned as if they were being torn out of their joints. It seemed as if the staircase were falling down. And at length there was a crash as if the entire roof had fallen in. As, however, all grew quiet once more, and the girl was not hurt, she stayed quietly lying where she was, and fell asleep again.

But when she woke up in the morning with the brilliancy of the sunshine, what did her eyes behold? She was lying in a vast hall, and everything around her shone with royal splendor.

On the walls, golden flowers grew up on a ground of green silk. The bed was of ivory, and the canopy of red velvet, and on a chair close by, was a pair of shoes embroidered with pearls. The girl believed that she was in a dream, but three richly clad attendants came in, and asked what orders she would like to give?

She thought the Old Man was up already, and looked round at his bed. He, however, was not lying in it, but a stranger. No one was allowed to be with me but my three attendants in the form of a cock, a hen, and a brindled cow.

The spell was not to be broken until a girl came to us, whose heart was so good that she showed herself full of love, not only toward mankind, but toward animals—and that you have done, and by you, at midnight, we were set free, and the old house in the wood was changed back again into my royal palace. I read it to my dog, he fell asleep before it was done.

A classic satire on human weakness features Screwtape, an elderly devil, who writes a series of letters to Wormwood, his apprentice and nephew. Lewis's classic, The Screwtape Letters. This Bible study digs deep into each letter from Screwtape, an undersecretary in the lowerarchy of Hell, to his incompetent nephew Wormwood a junior devil.

Designed as a week study, multiple week format options are also included.

I have no intention of explaining how the correspondence which I now offer to the public fell into my hands. There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them. They themselves are equally pleased by both errors and hail a materialist or a magician with the same delight. The sort of script which is used in this book can be very easily obtained by anyone who has once learned the knack; but ill-disposed or excitable people who might make a bad use of it shall not learn it from me.

Readers are advised to remember that the devil is a liar. Not everything that Screwtape says should be assumed to be true even from his own angle.

I have made no attempt to identify any of the human beings mentioned in the letters; but I think it very unlikely that the portraits, say, of Fr. Spike or the patient's mother, are wholly just. There is wishful thinking in Hell as well as on Earth.

In conclusion, I ought to add that no effort has been made to clear up the chronology of the letters. Number XVII appears to have been composed before rationing became serious; but in general the diabolical method of dating seems to bear no relation to terrestrial time and I have not attempted to reproduce it. The history of the European War, except in so far as it happens now and then to impinge upon the spiritual condition of one human being, was obviously of no interest to Screwtape.

Screwtape is a senior devil whose job is to increase the store of malice and misery on Earth. He achieves this by carefully targeting humans and then providing them with an array of temptations that can take their minds away from God. Under Screwtape's charge is his nephew Wormwood, a novice devil.

The letters between them record their efforts to turn a young man from his newly-adopted Christianity back to 'Our Father Below' Satan. Wormwood receives detailed instructions on how to exploit the man's weaknesses and bring him permanently around to sin.

He knew her scars were just a physical reminder of having survived such difficult periods in her life, something she should never be ashamed of. Never could her scars subtract from her angelic beauty. He didn't believe much in perfection, but she was the definition of perfection in his eyes. When he gently edged forward as her instincts took one float back, he traced a delicate finger along the scar that was just above her belly button, meeting timid eyes as he whispered warmly "…you are so beautiful.

Tell the world that we finally got it all right I choose you I will become yours and you will become mine I choose you I choose He reached to her with a leading hand, and in accepting his offer, she allowed him to bring her to the bed.

She watched him as he began to undress himself, kicking off his green converse-sneakers to start his own pile beside his overnight bag. After removing his white polo over his shaggy locks to reveal the green elbow-sleeved shirt underneath, he loosened the belt around his black jeans in his version of seductive that ended up coming off sensually silly, making her giggle in response. Was this a genuine attempt at being sexy? Pretty much. But hey, at least the mockery of himself could make her feel less embarrassed.

Considering the nights that she would sleep over at his brother Schnozmo's luxury apartment or the few occasions that Cosmo would fall asleep in her bed at her apartment, Wanda was used to seeing Cosmo undress in front of her.

Then again, the most he would strip down to is a T-shirt and boxers. Doing so conservatively, he took off his other shirt, exposing the bare of his chest and flat torso.

She couldn't recall ever seeing him in briefs before, tonight's underwear of his choice. And not that she intended for this to happen, but her eyes found themselves lasered to the center of his tighty-whities…. It was Cosmo's turn to blush, realizing where she was looking. His eyes lowered in self-examination; he was finally free of those annoying braces and his acne had basically cleared, yet with not a single muscle under the skin on his bones, the rest of his body still felt so…'boyish' to him.

Protruding pecs? Don't know her. Washboard abs? Can't relate. Giant redwood for an overall 'package? Sorry to this sapling. Wanda caught the doubt in his features. Did size matter? Not entirely. To Wanda, it wasn't about how 'big' a guy was. It wasn't about having the shape of a body-builder.

Wanda never cared much about all that. A man may stimulate your body, but can he stimulate your heart and mind, too? When diffident emeralds looked up towards her, she captivated him with pink sapphires twinkling in the moon's light, speaking in a tender breath "…you're so handsome. Her sincerity curled his lips to smile. Sure, he was no Juandissimo, but Wanda chose him anyway. Just her validation alone made him feel more of a man than ever before. There was a time when I would have believed them If they told me you could not come true Just love's illusion But then you found me and everything changed And I believe in something again.

Officially getting things started, reached his bag for the decently-sized bottle of lotion, setting it near her. Scooting onto the bed, he picked up a few nearby rose pedals and drizzled them down onto her stomach, grinning as she giggled once more. Instructing her to lay so he can start with her back, Wanda compliantly rolled onto her stomach, supporting her chin with one of the plush pillows.

Cosmo scooted to straddle both knees on either side of her waist, gently brushing her curls out of the way for more surface. With lotion in hand, he shook the bottle before opening the cap for a good squirt of white cream…. Wanda let out a small squeak as the chill of thick liquid splashed onto her, and Cosmo cursed himself for the instant mess on his hands, some catching onto Wanda's bra-strap.

I-I'm so sorry…" his sheer embarrassment stammered. Exhaling his nerves, Cosmo rubbed his hands together and proceeded to press his palms along her skin, mimicking how he'd seen other fairies give massages randomly on television. Slowly and gently, he rubbed along the tensions in her muscles to smooth them out. Almost forgetting that a back massage required 'full access', his fingers paused awkwardly the moment they touched the clasps of her bra.

Watchful eyes saw one hand reach behind her back, feeling for the familiar hooks, and when the two halves finally separated, an audible gulp swallowed in his throat.

Loose straps slid down, her hand supporting the padded cups before a shaky breath allowed the them to fall. She was now the most physically exposed that she'd ever been with a fairy of the opposite gender. Sure, it was only Cosmo, the only man she'd ever imagined stripping down for. But now, this was the start of a turning point, the start of newer heights. My whole heart Will be yours forever This is a beautiful start To a lifelong love letter.

Removing the article of clothing off her person, she lightly flung the bra over the beside where the rest of her clothes piled. He waited for her to reposition herself on her stomach and picked up where he left off, brushing artistic strokes with his thumbs along the curves of her sides.

Gliding the lotion over her bare skin, he kneaded her muscle tissue with lifts and pulls in a slow pace. Touching surfaces from just below her neck's base to just above her lower spine. Allowing her lids to fall, she sighed into the pillow in her attempt to shut off all the what-ifs in her mind. Luckily his deep yet feathered touch lowered the difficulty in doing so.

With more focus than he was used to, he was careful not to massage too close to her wings, remembering how sensitive fairy wings tend to be. The further he went on, the more her body relaxed beneath him. This was good sign that he was actually doing something right. Though on occasion, his hands were close to feel along the sides of her breast, causing a hiccup in his motions. A small grunt reacted to his fingers loosening a tight knot under her left shoulder blade, but other than that, "This feels great, actually.

Her confirmation gave a little confidence boost, moving aside to give her some room. I was…gonna do full body. As if that kind of compliment wasn't enough to make his cheeks blush, when Wanda shifted to lay back completely, green eyes widened.

As a fairy who has seen real breasts before not by choice, this time he definitely knew he was abso lute ly staring; not too petite, not too voluptuous, almost perfect enough for his hands to hold. Soft and perky like in his dream with the two of them in the shower…. Seeing his bulge come to life reddened the bridge of her nose. She remembered men mostly seeing Blonda in that way, no matter if Blonda actually welcomed this or not. She was unsure if Juandissimo ever had 'those types of thoughts' about her as their relationship did not last long enough to reach deeper levels.

Cosmo was not objectifying her, that much she knew. She just wasn't used to her unclothed body being an entity of lust.

Cosmo's face flushed into a darker shade of red, crossing his hands over his brief's pouch. Great, just when he was starting to think 'I can get through this without making it awkward'…his dirty mind had to go and make it awkward. Silence befell the engaged couple, apprehension biting down on Cosmo's lip. When he'd hold her, he held on longer as if to feel more of her warmth against him.

When they would cuddle, sometimes his hands would explore the outline of her frame, catching himself whenever his fingers breached past her hips to her backside. When he'd meet eyes with her, she'd catch glimpses of them wandering to her cleavage or trailing down the length of her legs, and when he'd kiss her, there was more of a starved longing behind his lips. The sanctity of home came in his embrace, and when his fingers roamed, the heated tingles almost wished he wouldn't stop.

It became difficult not to melt under those affectionate green eyes, and the soft lips she'd grown familiar with felt plushier against hers. Wanda reflected on how something as innocent as kissing sent such electric shivers, the wattage sometimes sparking new sensations between her legs.

What came as a shock to her was not her mind imagining what it would be like to cross the extent of what they've done already. No, it was how often these thoughts and desires roused her lately. Under normal circumstances, she would be the one to stop their make-outs from turning into something more. Whether it'd be out of fear that someone might catch them in the act, or the doubt that either of them were fully prepared to take the leap.

Now, isolated in an insulated tent of transparent fabric, the moon and stars their only audience atop their special cliff overlooking the city below, the barrier between them was their own will….

He swallowed once more under the surmounting pressure of her gaze, finding the voice to squeak "…Wanda? One flip of a switch washed all fear, all hesitation, all the terror of what-ifs, for those three little words poured awe and joy in his spirit.

Were they both scared to death? Even still, the wanting gaze in their locked eyes proved tantalizing beyond any self-doubt. Tell the world that we finally got it all right I choose you I will become yours and you will become mine I choose you I choose Contentment escaped through her sigh as their parted lips met with a crash of their passion's waves. Their string of kisses expressed sensuous, mind-numbing delight as tendrils of ecstasy sprouted from shared pleasure's roots.

No shyness could be detected in her fingers gripping his hair, but before their tongues could explore each other, Cosmo pulled away in a winded breath much to Wanda's slight disappointment. Wearing the 'responsible' hat for once, Cosmo reached over the side of the bed to his jeans still on the grown, digging in the back pocket to feel for a recognizable crinkle.

She observed the red-metallic wrapper he revealed between two fingers as he lifted himself back to face her, his throat clearing. Wanda was silent for a moment as the radio she'd forgotten was on transitioned into the harmony of strings and pianos accompanied by serenading two-four drums.

Diverting her anticipant stare between the condom in his grasp and the glimmer in his eyes. But it also tells many other stories and shows how they are all connected. It tells the story of poverty that forces children out of school and into the fields.

It tells the story of mothers who abandon their children and fathers who drink their worry away until they become violent. It tells the story, too, of children who rise above their poverty and abandonment and abuse to live out their dreams and contribute to the literary world. Reyna Grande is four-years-old when her mother leaves her poverty-stricken town in Mexico to work in The United States. Her father is already there, and alone without parents, Reyna and her brother and sister live with their strict and sometimes cruel paternal grandparents.

The narrator describes living in cardboard homes that flood in the monsoons and have scorpions crawling on the walls. More painful than her poverty, though, is her longing for her parents.

The poverty is unyielding, and the Grande siblings crave love and affection that their grandparents refuse to give. Then their father comes back from California and sweeps them away to live with him in The United States, and they believe that their troubles are at last over.

Of course they are not. In California the Grande children face discrimination from their teachers and classmates. Lavender roses, green carnations, purple stock, green hypericum berries, green button poms and lush greens are gorgeously arranged in a clear glass cubed vase lined with variegated ti leaves for a modern and stylish effect, making this a wonderfully romantic gift of sweetness set to brighten their day.

As a person of faith, I oppose the use of prolonged solitary confinement. Experts estimate that tens of thousands of prisoners in the U. The vast majority of these inmates are detained in state prison facilities. Prisoners held in solitary confinement are often detained in a cell by themselves for 23 hours a day. Some prisoners are kept in these conditions for months, years, or even decades.

Medical experts have stated that prisoners held in isolation for extended periods experience symptoms akin to delirium, and the impact on mentally ill prisoners is especially damaging. Alarmingly, these prisoners are sometimes released from solitary confinement units directly to their communities when they complete their prison sentence. We need to invest in humane alternatives that address the mental health needs of prisoners in a way that effectively contributes both to their rehabilitation and to their successful transition back into society.

Because holding prisoners in solitary confinement units is significantly more expensive than keeping them in the general prison population, instituting humane alternatives makes sense, both financially and morally. We must end the use of prolonged solitary confinement in all 50 states and the federal prison system. Industry compliance?
