It’s aptly titled “Backfire.” CBS has released photos showing the two crews on the scene as well as Thieriot directing and behind the scenes with the cast. ![]() In the episode, station 42 and Three Rock crews are called to a backfire started by a private firefighting company to protect a high-end winery but instead threatens to grow out of control.

Max Thieriot is already the creator, star, and executive producer of CBS’ hit Fire Country. 5/22/2023 0 Comments A million suns by beth revis![]() She only ebth what he did toward the end and I completely support him.

Elder is without doubt, my favorite character in these 2 installments. I wanted to know the secret and the culprit so badly. I did, however, enjoy their attempts to solve the mystery. Sometimes, I couldn’t share their feelings. I didn’t see 3-dimensional characters, Elder was an exception but even not all the time. Even though I liked Elder, it wasn’t enough. My main problem was with Amy, the girl annoyed me so much. ![]() Book 2 in the New York Times bestselling trilogy, perfect for fans of Battlestar Gallactica and Prometheus!

It then contends that Kant’s view of ethics fails to accomplish his desired objectives and makes the case that a biblical understanding of ethics succeeds. The article highlights three insightful objectives of Kant’s ethical view and compares them to three crucial ethical principles that are taught in the Bible. This article argues that Kant’s ethical system, despite grounding morality purely in reason and in light of its own philosophical failures, contains significant insights that serve to illuminate the philosophical attractiveness of key biblical ethical principles. Immanuel Kant proposed what he considered to be the one true ethical system-a system rooted in pure reason, without recourse to grounding morality in God, that sought to explain universal moral truth. ![]() ![]() Separated during World War Two, with young Máňa going to England, the women’s lives are further up-ended by the 1968 Czechoslovakian Revolution. Now, if you know your European history, the above description will have suggested to you the book’s framework, and you’d be right. It’s one of the fastest reads I’ve had in some time. It’s a carefully constructed book, one that benefits from close reading, which is not to say it’s hard reading, because it’s not. The novel is set mostly in 1980, and alternates between these two places, with occasional forays into other places and/or times to fill in some backstories. Melbourne-based Malá Liška or “Little Fox” lives with her grandparents Máňa and Bill, while Prague-based Luděk lives with his Babi (grandmother). The novel revolves around the lives of two Czech sisters, one who ends up in Melbourne with the other remaining in Prague, but their story is mainly seen through the eyes of their grandchildren. Just the sort of novel, really, that I tend to like. Favel Parrett’s third novel, There was still love, is one of those novels in which not a lot happens but has a lot going on. ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments Hp lovecraft the cats of ulthar![]() ![]() ![]() Eckhardt, whose artwork has graced Lovecraftian publications for decades. ![]() And it is lavishly illustrated by Jason C. Hoffmann Price the many cats of the “Kappa Alpha Tau” fraternity near his house at 66 College Street and many other subjects. As a special bonus, it includes extracts from dozens of Lovecraft’s published and unpublished letters, where he discusses such topics as Old Man (an incredibly ancient cat he encountered while walking the streets of Providence, R.I.) the pets of his friends and colleagues, including Clark Ashton Smith and E. This book gathers together the entirety of Lovecraft’s writings on cats for the first time. Thereafter he expressed his affection for felines in writing-in stories such as “The Cats of Ulthar” and “The Rats in the Walls” in a wide range of poems, from “Sir Thomas Tryout” to “Little Sam Perkins” and in the essay “Cats and Dogs,” in which he definitively establishes the total superiority of cats over dogs (“The dog is a peasant and the cat is a gentleman”). ![]() In his youth he was devoted to his beloved black cat, but when it ran away in 1904 he never owned a pet again. Lovecraft was one of the great cat-lovers in history. ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments Thomas hobbes leviathan cover![]() ![]() ![]() Thus, a state or commonwealth is established with the sole purpose of protecting the lives of those who live within it. Since man's main goal in life is to protect his own life through his rational capacities he reasons that the best way to do this is to establish a state with a power great enough to protect all who consent to live under it. Here men are equal in that anyone can kill anyone else, and as such men live in a constant state of fear an anxiety. ![]() These constant motions lead to man's constant and insatiable desires and wants, which in a state of nature pits everyone against another in a perpetual state of war. Part One begins naturally with man, for Hobbes believes that the commonwealth is nothing but an "artificial man." Beginning his argument at the most basic level, he argues that man exists in the external world as a reactive creature that senses objects and is driven to act by the constant motions of the world. His overall project is to explain by what reasons a commonwealth may govern men, and then to establish the best possible way for this government to function in order to accommodate the desires of its denizens. ![]() Hobbes' Leviathan is divided into four parts: 1) of man, 2) of commonwealth, 3) of a Christian commonwealth, and 4) of the Kingdom of Darkness. ![]() |
