Formation, debut EP and The Cleansing (2002–2008)
Suicide Silence was founded in 2002 at Riverside, California. At the time, it was a side project made up of musicians from other bands. Their first live show was performed locally in Riverside, with a line-up consisting of Chris Garza (guitar), Rick Ash (guitar), Mike Bodkins (bass), Josh Goddard (drums) and vocalists Mitch Lucker and Tanner Womack. Despite being fired soon after, Womack's vocals appeared on the band's 2003 Death Awaits demo.[2] After Death Awaits was completed, the band began recording a second demo, which was released in 2004 and contained the song "Stand Strong" with Lucker's vocals instead of Womack's. It was by this time, the band members began committing more time to Suicide Silence. Soon after, they recorded and released their first studio effort; a self-titled EP that was released in 2005. It was initially released by Third Degree Records, and later re-released in the UK through In at the Deep End Records.[3] 2006 marked the departure of drummer Josh Goddard, who was replaced by Alex Lopez (ex-guitarist for Blacheart Eulogy and The Funeral Pyre).
Following these events, the band recorded six pre-production songs while in the process of signing with Century Media Records in 2006 which led to their then upcoming full-length album debut entitled The Cleansing. The album was written, recorded, and completed in 2007[4] and was recorded in Los Angeles with engineer John Travis and was produced and mixed by Tue Madsen. The album also features artwork by Dave McKean.[5][6] The Cleansing saw its release on September 18, 2007 and debuted at number 94 on the Billboard 200,[7] selling 7,250 copies in its first week of release.[8] The sales of that week ending combined with its later sales made The Cleansing one of the best-selling debut albums in Century Media history.[9] With the success of their debut album, Suicide Silence were included to take part in Mayhem Festival that took place during the summer of 2008. Afterward, they toured Europe with Parkway Drive and Bury Your Dead, following a successful US tour with the same bands. Suicide Silence then followed along with a tour in Australia with Parkway Drive, A Day to Remember and The Acacia Strain in mid-2008 during the time when they were included to perform at Sweat Fest. At this point, Suicide Silence was beginning to gain a wide range of fans throughout the world. While returning home from the continuous tours, the band covered the song "Engine No. 9" by Deftones, and released the cover on their limited edition Green Monster single as well as iTunes all during the same year.[10]
No Time to Bleed (2008–2010)
Shortly before embarking on Mayhem Festival in summer 2008, Suicide Silence's MySpace profile title read "Suicide Silence (Is writing a new album)", which was the first indication of ensuring the upcoming of their second album. On June 26, 2008, Mitch Lucker appeared on the Headbangers Ball blog podcast. In the interview, Lucker stated that the album would be recorded through tracks as opposed of being recorded live, such as The Cleansing. He also said the new album would "blow The Cleansing away." Machine was chosen by the band to be the producer of the album. The title for it was revealed as being No Time to Bleed.[11]
Suicide Silence began recording No Time to Bleed in February with production by acclaimed producer Machine and engineering by Will Putney.[12] During Music as a Weapon as well as the band's Cleansing the Nation tour, they began to perform the songs "No Time to Bleed", "Your Creations", "Lifted" and "Wake Up" months before the release of the album. In April they received the Revolver Golden God award for "Most Innovative Band" and performed at the awards show.[13] Suicide Silence were included on 2009's Pedal to the Metal tour, along with the bands Mudvayne, Static-X, Bury Your Dead, Dope and Black Label Society.[5] During the same year, the group was awarded the Golden God award for "Best New Talent".[14]
Suicide Silence released No Time to Bleed on June 30, 2009 through Century Media. The album peaked at No. 32 on the Billboard 200,[15] selling 14,000 copies in the first week in the United States alone.[16] The opening track from the album, "Wake Up" was released as a digital download-only EP which includes the original song, a live performance of it and a remix handled by Shawn Crahan of Slipknot. A music video was produced for the song as well and made its debut premiere on Fearnet.[17][18] "Genocide" was released as the album's second single. Its music video was created in collaboration with Bloody Disgusting and a remix for the song was featured in the Saw VI soundtrack.[19][20] Suicide Silence announced production for a music video for the song, "Disengage", of which was released as a single on April 20, 2010.[21] The video for it was released during June 2010.[22] The band played throughout the entire Warped Tour 2010[23] on the Altec Lansing Stage.[24] In October, the group began their first headlining tour in two years[25] with support from MyChildren MyBride, Molotov Solution, The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza and Conducting from the Grave.[26]
The Black Crown and Lucker's death (2011–2012)
By 2011, Suicide Silence began preparing their third full-length album in Big Bear, California, with Steve Evetts as the selected producer.[5][27] During March, the group performed at California's Metalfest, and a week later, Nevada's Extreme Thing festivals,[28] at both of these performances, the band confirmed that the new album would be titled The Black Crown.[29] Working titles for the album were "Cancerous Skies", "Human Violence" and "Fuck Everything".[30] When asked by Kerrang!, Lucker revealed that the album's lyrical themes would feature more of the personal topics that No Time to Bleed had in-concept rather than the anti-religious theme that The Cleansing held. Lucker explained "I still have the same beliefs and same views, but I'm more open to everything. At this point in my life, I don't see the good in making people hate you for something you say. This record [The Black Crown] is for everybody."[29] The song "Human Violence" premiered on radio station Liquid Metal on May 13, 2011.[31] The Black Crown was released on July 12, 2011 and sold over 14,400 copies in the United States alone during its first week of release, which had it debuting at position number 28 on the Billboard 200 chart.[8][32]
The group was included on the line-up for the fourth annual Mayhem Festival, again playing on the Extreme Stage with other metal acts including Machine Head, Trivium and All Shall Perish during July and August 2011.[33]
Founding member and vocalist Mitch Lucker died on November 1, 2012 at precisely 6:17 a.m.. It was announced by Orange County Coroners Office that he had suffered severe injuries incurred from a motorcycle accident. One report stated that Lucker crashed his motorcycle shortly after 21:00 on October 31.[34][35][36]
On December 21, 2012, a memorial show to benefit Kenadee Lucker's future education costs was held at the Fox Theater in Pomona, California. The show was titled "Ending Is the Beginning: Mitch Lucker Memorial Show"[37] as a reference to both an early song from the band (see Suicide Silence EP) as well as acknowledging the transitional period for the band following Lucker's death. The show itself featured the members of Suicide Silence performing songs from each of the bands releases with a different guest vocalist performing with the band for each song.[38] In addition to the memorial show, the band started the Kenadee Lucker Education Fund and continues to promote donations towards Mitch's daughter.[39][40]
New vocalist, Ending Is the Beginning DVD and You Can't Stop Me (2013–2015)
After nearly a year of inactivity, it was confirmed on October 2, 2013, that Suicide Silence would hire a new vocalist, Hernan "Eddie" Hermida of All Shall Perish. The band released a clip of their song "You Only Live Once" with Hermida on vocals.[41]
On October 23, 2013, the band announced on Facebook that they were writing new material via a picture captioned, "Feels good to be working on new music. More updates coming soon." Subsequently, on October 30, the band announced they would start recording their next album the following week. This would turn out to be the first Suicide Silence record without Mitch Lucker. On November 5, they announced the new album would be released early Summer 2014.
On December 16, 2013, the band released a trailer for Ending Is the Beginning: The Mitch Lucker Memorial Show, which was released on CD/DVD/Blu-ray on February 18, 2014. In an interview with Soundwave TV on February 22, 2014, vocalist Eddie Hermida stated that one of the songs on the new album would contain some of Mitch Lucker's final lyrics.[42]
On April 23, 2014, the band announced the title of their upcoming fourth album to be You Can't Stop Me, which was taken from the title of a song that Mitch Lucker had written before his death. The album was released on July 14 in the United Kingdom and July 15 in the United States.[43] On May 2, Suicide Silence announced that a song off their new album, You Can't Stop Me, "Cease to Exist" would be released as the first single off the album. The song was released on May 6, 2014, and performed live for the first time at Rock am Ring 2014 on June 6, 2014.[citation needed]
Sacred Words and self-titled album (2015–2019)
On October 6, 2015, Suicide Silence announced via their Facebook page they were going to be releasing a new EP on October 23, 2015 titled Sacred Words, featuring the eponymous track from You Can't Stop Me. It featured "Sacred Words" as well as various unreleased tracks, including 3 live tracks taken from a live performance at the Hungarian festival RockPart 2015.[44] The band also stated that they began working on a new album in 2016.[45]
On December 27, 2016, The band announced that their self-titled album, Suicide Silence, was released on February 24, 2017 via Nuclear Blast.[46] The first single "Doris", which had been performed live at Knotfest in 2016, was released on January 6, 2017, to scathing criticism from fans due to the perceived drastic stylistic shift.[47][48] The album became a notable departure from their established deathcore sound, instead pursuing a sound resembling nu metal, heavily influenced by 1990s acts such as Korn and Deftones. The album received mixed reviews from critics. About 4,650 copies were sold in its first week of sales, which was 69% less of first week sales than when their previous album You Can't Stop Me was released.[49]
Become the Hunter (2019)
On October 21, the band announced their sixth studio album will be called Become the Hunter with a release date expected in early 2020. The album artwork and track listing was released through their label Nuclear Blast.[50]
On November 11, the band released the opening, instrumental track "Meltdown" from their forthcoming album Become the Hunter.[51]
Styles and influences
Suicide Silence performs deathcore,[52][53][54] which is a fusion between death metal and metalcore.[55] They are influenced by black metal, grindcore, mathcore and groove metal.[56][57][58][59][60] The mathcore elements can be seen in the varied speed changes and complex time signatures in the band's music. The band's vocalist fluctuates between death growls used in death metal and high-pitched screamed vocals used in black metal.[60] The drumming is very fast-paced, grindcore influenced, and employs a liberal use of double bass drumming and blast beats.[61] In their self-titled album, the band widely incorporated clean vocals into their music, which was heavily influenced by nu metal.[62][63]
The band members themselves have stated that they are influenced from groups such as Meshuggah, Sepultura, Disgorge, Cannibal Corpse, Suffocation, Morbid Angel, Necrophagist, Napalm Death, Nile, Slipknot, Darkest Hour,[64] Deftones, Korn, Death, and Possessed.[65][66][67]
During an interview, lead guitarist Mark Heylmun stated that his biggest influences are Dimebag Darrell and George Lynch.[64] Rhythm guitarist and founding member Garza has stated that his biggest inspirations are Wormed, Eternal Suffering and Skinless's early material.[68]

Afterwards, you'll sparge your mashed malted barley and run your brew through the giant copper kettle where it'll be boiled and infused with hops. You'll enjoy a light Ploughman's lunch to refuel, before continuing the brewing. You'll take home an ale gift-pack, a thank you for helping to brew up to 3500 pints during your day!

Formal protest against publications by Argentine Delegate
We sincerely regret and must strongly protest recent publications by Mr. Vinicio Di Paolo, Delegate of the Rottweiler club of Argentina and who was replaced in his function of vice-president (and acting president) by the Extra Ordinary Meeting of Delegates dd. 22.09.2016. These publications oblige the Board to react. Those messages are not true. They are slanderous and disrespectful, not just for the person of the IFR-President Mr. D. Vandecasteele but also for the IFR as a democratic organization of Memberclubs.

jive wrote:Also, I have held this position for literally ever - I HATE Sandi. She just gives me bad vibes, since the first time I heard her talk about the game. It's really hard for me to not jump on board the Sandi's evil train. It's been sitting in station forever.
I am of two minds about Sandi.
When I first watched her interviewing devs way back when, she immediately struck me as the type who would be judgmental towards gamer nerds. She almost had a tone of disdain when interviewing some nerdy dev. I feel like she plays along for the sake of the project and her spouse, but has a hard time actually being part of the culture. I had my girlfriend (who isn't into video games) watch a video with her early on just to get an unbaised opinion. She said Sandi seemed like she was feigning interest. Could just be how it is on camera.
That said, she has been a remarkable help to this project in terms of marketing. I sometimes wonder why her relationship with CR was kept secret for so long, and why DS felt the need to drag it into the open. Is it because they were afraid of criticism based on nepotism? Seems to me that she's highly educated and regardless of paper qualifications, has done a great job on the marketing side.
I feel bad about how she is constantly under attack. I don't know if the allegations about her screaming at people, not hiring because someone's black, or firing because someone's public hair is too long (lolwut?) are true. If they are, I'm surprised someone hasn't taken evidence to court already as not only is it illegal, but CIG has no shortage of enemies who would apparently like to see this project die for whatever reason. Even if she's faking interest in the video game world and just going through the motions to appease the nerds, I think her work does speak for itself.
She may well be a workplace narcissist under the protection of her husband. I don't think that's uncommon in businesses where a spouse is involved, unfortunately. But I think the extent to which the complaints paint her as the devil are a tad exaggerated and sometimes straight up ridiculous. At least I hope so.

Orr Hot Springs Resort offers you the option of just staying for the day or spending the night. If you choose to stay overnight, you can pick from cabins, yurts, cottages or camping. Overall, Orr Hot Springs Resort includes over 20 rooms, most of which have a rustic, unique and laid back feel because they were formerly used as resident cabins when the property served as a local community in the early part of the 20th century. The yurts and a couple of the cabins are recent additions and are the perfect choice for you if you desire a more modern look and feel for your accommodation. The cabins have either private or shared bathroom facilities, the bathroom facilities for the yurts are separate, and the cottages have private bathrooms.

Orr Hot Springs History
Orr Hot Springs has been around for centuries and is located along a route that was taken by native Americans to the Mendocino Coast. It is also said that warring tribes decided to peacefully co-exist while at the site of the hot springs to enjoy the perceived health benefits that Orr Hot Springs offered. Orr Hot Springs got popular in the late 18th century when city folk who heard about the health benefits of the hot springs started visiting in large numbers; this resulted in the need for accommodations and the cabins at the Orr Hot Springs Resort were built in the 1930s to fulfill this demand. Orr Hot Springs Resort has maintained the old world charm of the 1930s which makes it just as alluring to visitors today as it was a hundred years ago.
Access and Usage Fees
Orr Hot Springs Resort is a private facility and therefore attracts charges for access and usage. The fee for the Day use option is $30 for adults and $25 for children, booking the Day use option gives you access to all the hot springs on the property, and the communal kitchen from 10 am -10 pm. It is highly recommended that you reserve your Day use slots ahead of time since they go quickly, especially on weekends, holidays and during the summer months. For overnight accommodations, fees start from $210 plus taxes for cabins and yurts and $50 for a child. Rates for cottages start at $280 for two adults; there is a third adult fee of $60 that applies for all accommodations. If you want to spend a little less, camping fees start at $70 for adults and $35 for children.
Seasonal Access Information
Orr Hot Springs Resort is open all year round. It is generally a popular attraction; however, the demand is higher in the summer months and on weekends. If you want to visit when there are fewer people around, you can book your trip during the week in the winter season; this is when the beautiful resort has the least amount of traffic.

a.k.a. Friscos Restaurant Review: Immense sandwiches and salad bowls have made a.k.a. Friscos's name. We like the West of Santa Fe salad, which is as kitschy as its name and loaded with shredded spiced chicken, cheese, shredded lettuce and scoops of salsa. Consider, too, the overstuffed baked potatoes and the trademarked exploded potatoes, a rambunctious take on a warmed potato salad. Tucked away in a giant industrial park, the place is hard to find, but it's worth the effort. Its décor resembles a large, oddly decorated concrete factory, making it one of the area's most interesting restaurants.

I was searching for information on the Internet the other day. As I was leaving a web site, a pop up advertisement lingered on my computer screen. This kind of advertising normally irritates me intensely, with its implications that someone else is in control of my computer, and usually I hurry to wipe it off my screen.
This time, however, the pop-up ad did its job, and I clicked on the link and followed it along down the rabbit hole of memory to Classmates.com. The Classmates web site is essentially a message board for linking up high school classmates. You have to pay for any of the extra services, but it doesn't cost anything to take a look. I scrolled down until I found a listing for Norview High School, entered my graduation year, and added myself to a list of almost two hundred names that had already registered. Out of a graduating class of around five hundred, this was a fairly large percentage.
Out of the two hundred names registered, I only recognized a dozen or so. Of those, I could only put a face to five or six. Pretty bad considering that I spent three years in the same half-block-wide, three-story building with these kids. It's like not recognizing the guy who was next to you on the chain gang.
I know that I knew more than a dozen people in high school. I must have sat next to students in biology and history, but I can't recall who they were. What was the name of the boy in Algebra II who made me so angry that I took a swing at him in the hallway after class? I've forgotten, just as I've forgotten the name of the girl I actually punched when I missed him. Luckily it was only a glancing blow. "You almost hit him," she consoled me. "Next time, leave your glasses on."
Almost as soon as I registered, I began to have doubts. My name popped up on the list under the 'M's with a little note saying 'new member' beside it. I felt ridiculous, as though I were already at my high school reunion standing around with a glass of generic white wine and a shrimp on a toothpick, people coming up to me, looking at my name tag and saying, "Nope, don't remember you."
I never went back to any of my reunions, so maybe they are not like that at all. Or maybe they are just like high school, and the popular guys and girls are surrounded by crowds of their admirers the way that they used to be. I hope not, but the influence of high school lingers. Why else would forty percent of us take the trouble to sign up on a class web site?
Like a lot of other people, I expect, I never went back because I wasn't going to risk a reunion until I had made something of myself. I wanted to be able to walk into the room and hear somebody say, "Isn't that Walt Mills, the best selling novelist?" To which someone else would reply, "Yeah, remember how funny his hair always looked in high school?"
It's hard to get away from your past. High school is like that indelible stamp in your passport, the ugly photo on your driver's license. You've been there and you carry the scars. Even if everyone has forgotten that you wore your pants too short and your ink pen was always leaking through your shirt pocket, you can't forget.
A few days after I registered at Classmates.com I got an email from the woman who is in charge of organizing our next class reunion, which will take place next spring. I didn't recognize her name, so I took out my high school yearbook, and sure enough, there she was. Never saw her before in my life.

Over 300 arrested during anti-Kavanaugh protests in US
Washington: The US Capitol Police arrested 302 people for protesting in the Senate office buildings against the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee judge Brett Kavanaugh, who is accused of alleged sexual abuse.
In a statement, the police said that 293 people were arrested on Thursday for "unlawfully demonstrating" in the buildings and another nine for "crowding, obstructing, and incommoding", reports Efe news.
Among those arrested were actress Amy Schumer and model Emily Ratajkowski.
"Bravery is contagious," "Stop Kavanaugh,", "Kavanaugh has to go," and "We don't want rapists in court", were the most recurring slogans during the march.
Kavanaugh has been accused of sexual abuse by three women, including Christine Blasey Ford, who testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee last the week, saying she was 100 per cent sure that the Supreme Court nominee tried to rape her in 1982.
The Senate, in which the Republican have a narrow 51-49 majority, is due to vote on Kavanaugh's confirmation on Saturday.
The party, however, needs a simple majority of 51 votes in the Senate for its judicial nomination to be approved.

Statement from Environmental Defence's Executive Director, Tim Gray on Ontario's proposed changes to the Growth Plan
Toronto, Ont., – This morning, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing posted proposed changes to the Growth Plan for public comment. These changes were proposed under the guise of helping to increase housing supply in the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH), by loosening the regulations in place that encourage building within our existing town and cities, and instead favouring sprawl.
Given that government data shows that there is more than enough land designated for development within existing cities and towns to accommodate the expected population growth until 2041, we see this move as another example of the Ontario government bowing to the pressure of sprawl developers. These changes, combined with those proposed in Bill 66, mark an end to provincial rules that support smartly planned, transit friendly communities, and the protection of farmland, natural heritage areas, and clean water.
Key Changes to the Growth Plan
- Sprawl driven planning. The proposed Growth Plan changes will weaken provincial Land Needs Assessment rules and allow urban boundary expansion without strong evidence of need
- Weakened density targets. Requirements for using land efficiently will be weakened to allow more low density sprawl
- Urban boundaries will be allowed to expand onto farmland at the behest of developers instead of only during periodic Municipal Planning Reviews
- Employment lands will be allowed to be converted to residential and other uses. This change underscores the fact that there are currently, in place, employment lands in excess of demand. This contradicts the government's assertions in Bill 66 that more employment land is needed
- Massive farmland grab. The province will allow precious farmland to be converted to employment lands, despite the absence of demonstrated need
- No new affordable housing. There are no changes to the Growth Plan that specifically mandate the creation of affordable housing
- Climate Change. Removes mention of it as an issue to be addressed in municipal plans
- Transit station density. Increased density will be allowed within 800 metres of existing and future transit stations. The current zone is 500 metres so this will increase the area where greater density can be developed. This may be beneficial in some areas.
Overall, the proposed changes fail to address the GGH's affordable housing problem and favour costly low density sprawl. What the region needs are more housing options for renters and owners, within our cities, close to where people want to live, work and play. Not sprawling subdivisions on farmland, forests and the source of our drinking water.

What images does Italian cuisine conjure up for you? Pasta, polenta, pizza, cream or tomato based sauces; flavorsome dishes using local produce; grilled fish at the coast; dishes made from parts of animals that other cultures reject: tripe, sweetbreads, brain, lungs. A cuisine so different from those of its neighbors in France, the Adriatic and North African coasts, that it appears to have resisted outside influences and focused instead on creating more sophisticated recipes for simple peasant dishes. Of course, that is very far from the truth.

The police division reported to the City Manager (and the City Council) that it collected $sixteen,000 in Impound Fees. The probable cause for traffic stops resulting in impoundment have been typically for minor, technical VC violations (cracked windshield, missing front license plate, unilluminated rear license plate, and many others.). Although everyone's mileage will differ, you may anticipate to lose one hundred factors or more after a group account for impound debt will get slapped on your credit score report. Note that you simply MUST go to the Los Santos Customs branch on the Vinewood and Grand Senora border – the others don't have a For Sale sign out front.
Vehicle impoundment — and the hefty towing and storage charges that come with it — has become a catch-all penalty for an array of offenses starting from prostitution to loud music-enjoying and curfew violations. As you can see, if just the impound charges had been reported for 2009, California could have funded Ohio's year-to-date traffic security applications, essentially saving taxpayers not less than $forty million dollars. Police departments have a reasonable turn round for their cruisers and detective vehicles. Do not settle for a invoice of sale except it's accompanied by a title or title utility.
In order to secure the discharge of the car as soon as the 30 days is up, the registered owner or their agent should pay all charges related to the impound and show a valid California drivers license. We then list them on our adoptable dog internet page and our City of Calgary Pets Mobile Application (a free download which permits Calgarians to view impounded and adoptable cats and dogs on their cell gadget).
Also, inflation causes rents, together with other prices to rise however holders of fixed rate mortgages is not going to see their rate of interest or fee (apart from the tax impound portion) enhance. When you merely can't afford to pay your impound fees, considered one of two issues will happen. If your bid is the winning bid, you will then have to be ready to pay for or provide financing to your buy inside a inevitable timeframe set forth by the auction firm. It's not like El Paso, Texas, the place cars ended up across the river and you'd see the Mexican police driving what was your sports activities automotive.
After the mortgage modification was permitted and sealed and was submitted with payment, One west got here back saying that these funds had been going to be applied to our debt and the loan modification was cancelled. The phrase impound means to place right into a "pound," a secured space to carry issues. If they didn't find a method to pay the fees, they would finally lose their vehicles (the city auctions them), a loss that for some could be a devastating setback.

Though the eternal dark and cold of Nordic winters would prevent me from ever being able to live there, Summer is the pefect time to visit Sweden. Perfect weather, daylight until 11PM, and beautiful people everywhere (regardless of which gender you prefer), all make for a wonderful vacation. Even my sole complaint is sort of a backhanded compliment: it's too clean. It had an almost antiseptic, sterile quality to it.
But then I also remember the days of living in San Francisco, where homeless people would evacuate their bowels and/or masturbate in front of you. Do we really need that kind of grit to enjoy ourselves? So maybe I shouldn't complain about a city being sterile, especially when it has great museums, guys who look like Cary Elwes before the last 25 years happened to him, and gave us ABBA.
Our hotel was centrally located near Old Town, around which there is plenty to do. Most attractions are walking distance, or at most a few lightrail stops away. There are also tourist boats which stop at the biggest attractions; they are reasonably priced, but they actually take much longer than simply walking to a destination. Taxis are expensive, which we discovered on our initial ride from the cruise dock to the hotel. So I would suggest avoiding them and saving your money for
ABBA merchandise good museums and food.
The Royal Palace was our first destination. The original structure was built around the 12th Century. The North wing, built between 1692 and 1695 (seen in many of the photos), was all that survived of the 1697 fire that destroyed the rest of the original structure. The current palace (rebuilt through the 18th Century) is still used as an official residence of the King and for official state functions. The Royal Apartments and most of the structure above ground houses the sort of grand furnishings, architecture, and artwork you may expect from such a palace. The most exciting part of the complex, however, is the Tre Kronor Museum, which is the exhibit beneath the palace. This houses the ruins and artifacts that survived the fire in 1697, so the tourist can view the parts of the original fortress that are still intact.
I unknowingly broke the rules in the Tre Kronor Museum, as I was inspired and clicked a few photos (flash off, of course), before being scolded. There honestly was no sign forbidding it, but I do apologize all the same. I hope the photos give a tiny glimpse of how creepy and cool it was down there. I would definitely recommend to make this a priority for anyone visiting Stockholm.
I might as well get it out of the way: I love ABBA. Love them. I am not quite old enough to have enjoyed them during their original run, but a few things happened for me during high school and college that made me a life-long fan: 1) Erasure's ABBA-esque album. 2) Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, and 3) Muriel's Wedding. All three strongly contributed to a 90's ABBA revival, and I was indeed part of the problem (if you consider it to have been a problem, anyway). Some of my fondest memories from my early 20s involve sitting around with my friends drinking cocktails, playing board games, and listening to ABBA. Yeah. We were wild. So, naturally, when I heard there was a museum dedicated to the #1 group that everyone claims to hate but everyone also secretly loves (The Carpenters and Enya often tie for second), I made it a priority to go. My partner and I were not disappointed, and neither will anyone else who makes the trip out. It is definitely cheesy, but I wouldn't expect any less from a museum dedicated to this group.
Technically, it is the Swedish Music Hall of Fame, but the ABBA portion is separated out and takes up over half of the building. And–if I'm honest–did I really care about the rest of it? It's not like Roxette or Ace of Base are powerful enough to pull anyone to Stockholm on their own. So I would suggest to the average traveler to stick with the ABBA side. Wander through the maze that chronicles the rise of Agnetha, Anni-Frid, Benny, and Bjorn to stardom with genuine musical artifacts, costumes, music clips, etc. You will learn more than you likely will care to know (and definitely more than your friends will ever want to hear about). There is even a chance to get CGI'd into your own ABBA video, but I was still feeling vulnerable after having utterly butchered "Super Trouper" at karaoke on the cruise ship the night before. So I abstained. But I did have my photo taken in the helicoptor from their Arrival album!
The Vasa Museum was our next stop; if anything can compete with the majestic quality of ABBA, a sunken ship from 1628 can. This is a stop on the Stockholm tourist trail that everyone can and will enjoy. It is considerably more than a standard museum, so museum haters and small children alike will absolutely love it. The museum houses the completely intact Vasa, which was built in 1628 and then sunk on its first voyage about 1000 meters from where it set sail. It sat under water for more than 300 years until it was discovered in 1956 and then raised in 1961. And what you see in the museum is not a replica or even a reconstruction from a few random pieces. The waters where it was found preserved it, right down to the wood. What you see is the real thing. It is truly magnificent.
So go, look, take photos (it's allowed here!), learn about the history, learn how the ship sank, and learn how it was raised. As an added bonus, check out the skeletons they have on display of those who perished when the boat capsized and sank. Morbid fun for all!
Fairly close to the Vasa Museum is the Spritmuseum (Museum of Spirits). I usually enjoy museums having to do with alcohol, especially when free samples are given (see the Heineken museum in Amsterdam or the Zwack museum in Budapest). Though this one was a quick and silly diversion, it left a lot to be desired. There is almost nothing on how wine are spirits are made, and the goal of the museum seemed primarily to be an Absolut art exhibition. Don't get me wrong, there is some cool stuff on display (advertising art and some information on how the Absolut brand evolved), and some interactive displays, but most everything is contained in two large rooms; apparently there was once a much larger museum in a different building that got scaled down considerably when the installation was moved. That's unfortunate, because this specific attraction is mostly uneventful. I didn't find the humor in it to be all that engaging, and there was no "sampling" involved. Go if you're walking past and have ten minutes to kill, otherwise don't bother.
The Nordic Museum (or Nordiska Museet) is enjoyable, but its name is a rather large misdirect. For one (despite its name), it is Sweden specific (the original intention of it containing exhibits for all Nordic countries was scrapped, but the name remained). Also, it isn't exactly what tourists may be expecting from a museum. Instead of a museum focusing specifically on history or art, this one is broken into exhibits on interior design, fashion, folk art, table settings, toys, dollhouses, hairstyles, etc. It is the type of museum where very few would likely need to see all the exhibits (I admit I couldn't care less about hair and fashion, an admission that could cost me my gay card), but anyone visiting may find at least one thing that interests them. I personally found the furniture/interior design and toys/dollhouses exhibits worth the admission. There really is something for everyone, but altogether it isn't really for anyone. If that makes sense.
My only recommendation is to forget about the audio guides here. They aren't necessary, and they do not guide you on a logical path through the museum. Besides, everything here (as is the case in most of Stockholm) is in English anyway.
The Observatory Museum is another great choice for tourists looking for something with broad appeal. I mean, who doesn't love astronomy (besides stupid, boring whores)? Stargazing and astronomy was my favorite thing in the world when I was a kid (before Christa McAuliffe had to go and ruin it all for me), and–even as an adult–I take a sort of weird comfort looking into the vastness of space and realizing how insignificant we all are. It's impossible to spend too much time worrying about your problems (or believeing in a silly deity) when you realize you're just a tiny speck on a tiny ball of dirt hurtling around a relatively insignificant star in the middle of infinity. But enough about my pretentious philosophizing–this museum was one of the high points of the trip to Stockholm (figuratively and geographically, since it is on a hill).
Built in 1753 by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, this museum (no longer functional as an actual observatory given the modern day light pollution of the city) houses some great exhibits on Jacob Berzelius the Chemist, meteorology, natural science, and–of course–astronomy. Climbing up to the original cupola/observatory tower and seeing the old telescope equipment is a treat. Oh, and please don't be alarmed by the dead baby in a jar in the natural history portion of the exhibit. It isn't real (though there did used to be one that was). Now on to the photos. I already made a crack about Christa McAuliffe; I can't make a dead baby joke too. I have some class.
It has been my experience that even people who typically hate art museums have the potential to really enjoy modern art. It's eclectic, breaks a lot of the molds set by those stuffy old painters from the 19th Century, and sometimes it shows boobies. The Moderna Museet will thus not fail to disappoint most who visit it. The museum is loaded with a perfect mix of pop art (with plenty of Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, etc.), exhibits of well known artists like Picasso and Matisse, and stunning displays from lesser knowns. My personal favorites were the exhibits of Niki De Saint Phalle and Tala Madani, both of which were simultaneously fascinating and disturbing. And that's all I can say without pretending to be an art critic, which I most definitely am not. Most of the displays do not allow cameras, but part of me appreciated that. It's nice to walk around and really soak in a museum exhibit without having to worry about taking photos for the six people who actually read this blog.
There was also an exhibit on furniture while we were there, but it wasn't our cup of tea so we skipped it. Before asking us to turn in our gay cards, though, I must admit that we missed it because we wanted to see the Jean Paul Gaultier fashion exhibit. The layperson may know him as the guy who gave Madonna her cone bra (and many of her other outfits). Though I'm not typically interested in fashion, I must admit that this alone makes the museum worth visiting. It was a pretty extraordinary collection of one-of-a-kind clothing, and seeing some of the naughty outfits Madonna had worn while I was still living in Oklahoma and being told she was a minion of Satan was quite an experience. Definitely time well-spent.
Our last museum, The Nobel Museum (housed within the Stockholm stock exchange), was a bit of a let-down for me. Though it is informative in the sense that the tourist gets a nice overview of Alfred Nobel himself, and though the guides give a nice lesson on how the award came to be and how the recipients are chosen, there is very little in the way of exhibits on the winners of the award. I realize a museum dedicated to the recipients would be a near impossible feat (given how many awards have been handed out over the years), but–aside from the display at the front showing the current winners, an alcove containing belongings of Nobel himself, and large photos and quotes of various winners–there is little to see. The architects of the museum did find a clever way to incorporate every single winner into the museum, however; each has a large card which details their achievements, and the cards fly by visitors on an overhead conveyor belt (not unlike something you might see in a dry cleaners).
The tour only takes about an hour and entrance isn't terribly expensive, but it would not be one of my first suggestions for things to see in the city.
That about sums up our trip to Stockholm, and because my biggest challenge as a writer is knowing how to close things out, I am going to end with some more shots from an airplane. These would have been taken after the xanax kicked in, but before we were allowed to turn on our electronic devices (I like to jam out to synthpop while flying). Oh, wait. I guess a camera is an electronic device. Fuck it.

When thinking about adding those classic wedding traditions to your day.. .try and make them personal to you and your fiancé…trust us…it means so much more making new tradition of your own.
Here are a few of our favorites…the traditional and our take on a new twist!
- Instead of a wedding cake have a dessert bar; everything from cupcakes to cotton candy and chocolate covered strawberries…guests can choose what they like and enjoy. How cute is feeding your new hubby a mini cheesecake!
- Instead of the father of the bride escorting her down the aisle; how about both parents, or if you have children from a previous relationship they can escort you down the aisle, what a super sweet sentiment to have your son give you away!
- Instead of throwing the bouquet give it to the couple attending that have been married the longest…what a great way to celebrate your wedding by honoring a couple who have endured marriage at its highs and lows…ask them their secret for a lasting marriage when presenting them with the bouquet, they will love it!
We hope you take some of these ideas and add them to you day…starting new traditions in your new family and for future weddings in your family!
Best wishes & happy planning ~

Canadian ski cross competitor Dave Duncan was arrested for allegedly stealing a vehicle after a nigh out drinking with his wife and a manager. (AP)
Canadian ski cross competitor David Duncan, his wife and a coach apologized Saturday after they were arrested for allegedly stealing a car while intoxicated at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, police said.
Duncan, 35, his wife Maja, 32, and Ski Cross High Performance Director Willy Raine, 48, were accused of taking a car outside a bar just after midnight Saturday and driving it near the Pyeongchang athletes village, CBC reported.
South Korean police stopped the vehicle, reportedly an AHMO Hummer, and found the three intoxicated people.
Raine was allegedly driving the vehicle with a blood-alcohol level of 0.16, according to CBC. The legal blood-alcohol limit in South Korea is 0.05.
The three were taken into custody in Gongneung and banned from leaving South Korea. They were released late Saturday, CBC reported. It's unclear if they had to pay a fine or face other consequences.
Canadian Olympic Committee chief executive Chris Overholt confirmed in an earlier statement that an "incident occurred" just after midnight.

Instagram Shopping: What, How, and Why
By Andrew Maff, on October 19th, 2018 , Marketplace Services, Social Media
Alongside giants like Facebook and Twitter, Instagram is another go-to social media app for people of all ages. It's a simple and intuitive platform for people to post pictures of their adventures with friends, their meals, their pets, and just about anything else they want. Now the Instagram team has integrated shopping into the application, so customers can purchase the products they come across while browsing through their feed.
Thanks to Instagram shopping, sellers can advertise their products using posts and stories. This is extremely convenient for brands that have a significant Instagram following and are looking to cut out the middleman. Here's a brief overview of what Instagram shopping is, how it works, and why it might be the right move for your business.
What It Is
The way you use social media in your personal life isn't quite the same as the way you should use it for your business. If your goal is to sell products and promote your band through your social media presence, you should have an account on all of the major platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. This way you can maximize your exposure as well as cross-promote your content.
Instagram shopping allows businesses to sell their products directly through the Instagram app. A clothing brand can post an image of a model, and then customers can purchase the different pieces the model is wearing right from the post. This expedites the sales process by getting customers from interest to purchase with ease.
How It Works
Most modern businesses are using social media to promote their brands in some way or another, and yours should be too. If you already have an Instagram account, then you already have an idea of how engaged your followers are. The goal is to use this engagement to keep increasing exposure and turn more clicks into conversions.
Use Instagram shopping to set up a storefront that you can promote using all of your social media outlets, bringing more interested consumers to your virtual store. Your Instagram account will be linked with your Facebook catalog, and you'll use product tags and stickers to promote, describe, and sell your products. The tags and stickers are tappable, and customers can follow them to product description pages. You can only use so many tags and stickers per post or story, so use them wisely.
Setting It Up
- Eligibility and Requirements — Before you can set up your first Instagram shopping campaign, you need to make sure you're eligible to sell your products on this platform. First, you must live in a country that allows Instagram shopping. Then you need to set up a business profile to promote your goods, which must comply with Instagram's policies.
Your Facebook business page is important at this step as well. The page must be accessible to people of all ages and in all countries, and any shipping restrictions should be noted at the point of checkout. Once you're sure you meet the proper criteria, you can link your Instagram business profile and Facebook catalog.
- Connecting Your Instagram Profile and Facebook Catalog — There are two ways you can connect your Instagram account with your Facebook catalog.
- Shop Section — For the first option, it helps if your Facebook business page uses a shopping template. Click the shop tab and read the terms, then add the necessary information about your business like the address of the building, associated email addresses, and accepted currency. Now enter your state tax registration number and then add your products.
- Business Manager — The other way you can link your Instagram profile to your Facebook catalog is using the Business Manager account. Keep in mind that you have to be an administrator on the page for this to work. You can use this account to create a new catalog, or you can link an existing catalog through this method. You can also partner two Business Manager accounts so both can access the catalog.
- Account Review — Once you've followed these steps, you'll have to wait for the Instagram team to review your account. New catalogs must be approved before this review period, but the whole process shouldn't take more than a few days.
- Adding Tags and Stickers — After your account has been reviewed and approved, remember to download updates whenever they're available. Now you can start using tags and stickers to your posts. Go to the Business Settings section of your Instagram business profile and find "Shopping". Then choose your product catalog and click "Done", and you're ready to tag products in your posts and stories.
- Publishing Shopping Posts and Stories — With your Instagram business account linked to your Facebook catalog and ready to go, you're up to the fun and creative part. You can now tag your products in your posts and use stickers in your stories. If you post a single image, you can tag up to five products. For a multi-image post, this number rises to 20. Stories are a little different, and you can use one sticker that shows the name of the product.
When you add to your feed or your story, go to the share screen and find "Tag Products" or tap the sticker icon, respectively. From here you can choose the appropriate product from your catalog and attach it to the image, then share your post or story with the public.
Why It's Valuable
Instagram shopping presents a new and relatively simple way to sell products to your customers through social media engagement. If the people who interact with your posts and stories weren't able to easily find your products, they wouldn't make as many purchases. Instagram shopping makes this easier than ever.
In addition to feed and story posts, there's also the Search & Explore section. Here, people may come across your posts and seek to learn more about your products. Selling your products through Instagram gives you a chance to be creative with your marketing campaigns and the way you teach your followers about the items you have to offer. You can also see what you're doing right and what you're doing wrong when you look into your Instagram analytics. Be sure to check those regularly so you can tweak your strategy and sell more inventory.
Troubleshooting Problems
If something goes wrong when you set up your Instagram shopping account, or you run into a roadblock at some point in the future, you can always reach out to the Instagram support team. They might have noticed a problem that kept your account from being verified, or one of your products might not have met the necessary qualifications to be sold through Instagram shopping. Consider your account and your campaign, and make sure you've followed all of the rules before asking for help.
Instagram shopping is a relatively new feature, but you shouldn't waste any time getting to know how it works. It's a convenient and effective way to show your customers what you have to offer as well as teach them about the products they look at in your posts. This opens the doors to new and creative ways to promote your brand and turn followers into customers, so use this information and start engaging your fan base.
