Things to Do
17th Avenue SW
Known as the Red Mile, 17th Avenue SW holds the distinction of being the Calgary Flames party-zone ever since the 2004 run to the Stanley Cup Finals. This stretch of road runs east to west, just south of the downtown core, essentially from the Scotiabank Saddledome to 14th Street SW, and is regarded as one of Calgary's best walkways and shopping districts. It is also one of the most tourist-laden communities in the city, especially during Stampede week.
Much of the street is dominated by popular sports mega-bars, such as Melrose Cafe & Bar (known as the heart of the Red Mile), and popular meeting spots, such as
Caffe Beano
, Nellie's, and Streeps Teahouse. This community brings out a broad assortment of Calgary's out-and-about crowd. But 17th isn't without its fair share of hiddem gems and local favorites. In fact, you'll find some of Calgary's best patios, shops, pizzas (see:
Wicked Wedge
), and treats here. It's a good place to stroll, especially if you need a little break from the Stampede grounds.
Of course, 17th is a trendy, shopping-focused area. So, if money is tight, try chilling out at Tompkins Park, located on 17th ave and 8th street. This park is great for people watching, and it has nice benches and a small gazebo that are located near the street. What's best, it's very near Kawa, which is one of Calgary's best espresso bars.
17th has a huge variety of restaurants. If you want vegan, try
the Coup
; Lebanese, try Shwarma Knight; or, if you really want indulgence, head east to Crave Cupcakes, a Calgary must-try. Legendary!
One of the local's favorite pubs is the
Ship & Anchor
, which offers a great selection of brews and an awesome patio. Or, try the
Rose & Crown
, which is another great pub.

Hand made Zelda Hylian Shield
A new hand made Hylian shield for my Twilight Princess Link costume.
When I first made my Link costume 4 years ago, I thought that making a shield by myself would be impossible, so I ordered a replica online (pictured on the left below).
However, as good as this shield looks, it has some problems. It weighs over 8 pounds and it gets tiring to carry around all day. The handle is made with really cheap materials and kept breaking. If it breaks during a day at a convention, I don't have a drill around to redrill the holes to repair it. The shape is also inaccurate to the Twilight Princess shield design. In addition, every other part of my costume I made myself and when people ask, "Wow your costume is great. Did you make all of that yourself?" I proudly say "Yes I did!" and then they say "Wow the shield is the BEST PART." and then I have to embarrassingly reply with that's the one thing I DIDN'T make.
Since I've been so successful with making craft foam props for my Zelda wedding, it didn't seem impossible anymore to make my own shield. This shield (pictured right below) is made totally from craft foam, hot glue gun glue, and acrylic paints. It weighs almost nothing, looks more accurate, and I can finally say "I made my whole costume myself." It still needs a few minor details and refinement on the paint. But it was good enough to show off on Halloween day.

Here's an inprogress shot of what it looked lilke before the paint:

The PennyMac Mortgage Blog is where you'll find unbiased, useful info to help save you money, time and peace of mind during the mortgage process. If you have a mortgage or are about to get one, we think you'll find info here you can't always get elsewhere.
When it comes to filing your taxes, owning a home has historically been a huge benefit. However, the recent tax law changes have left many homeowners wondering what is still available for mortgage interest, mortgage points, property taxes, and other deductions. So, how do you make the most of your deductions?
When you refinance your home, the process is similar to the one you followed when obtaining your original mortgage. Your finances will be verified and calculated, and your home will be appraised to determine its value to your potential lender. As a result of a refinance, it's common for your monthly payment and even your total loan amount to change—but will your property taxes go up as well?
Buying a home can be one of the most rewarding investments you will ever make. However, it can also be one of the most costly. Estimating your monthly mortgage payment well in advance of purchasing can help you make smart decisions with your budget.
Many Americans have been keeping an eye on the 2018 tax bill and thinking about how it affects their finances. However, if you own a home, or are planning to buy in the near future, you have probably paid extra attention to mortgage interest deduction reforms. The 2018 US tax bill does include changes to this popular deduction, as well as a few other updates that may mean big changes for homeowners. Here's what you need to know.
"Nearly 80% of Americans receive a tax refund every year, averaging about $3,000 per filer. We can all find ways to spend some extra cash, but how can you take full advantage of your refund? Depending on your financial situation, paying down your mortgage could be a great option."
Read more about Should I Use My Tax Refund to Pay Down My Mortgage?
PennyMac issues the Year End Statement (also known as a Form 1098 or annual tax statement) annually to mortgagors for income tax reporting purposes. This statement includes the total amounts for interest paid and property taxes paid from your escrow account (if you have one) for the entire year.

Have you been inspired by one of the numerous investment property television shows? Or, have you seen friends or family find success in real estate? If so, you are probably intrigued by the prospect of investing in rental property, but figuring out how to get started can be a difficult task in and of itself. Here are some tips from real estate experts on how to evaluate whether buying a rental property is right for you.

When most mortgage borrowers sit down to crunch the numbers, they often focus on how much money is needed for a down payment, the home purchase price, and the estimated costs of their monthly principal and interest payment. Yet, many people overlook the costs of their escrow impound account.

Mississippi government is shrinkingBy WYATT EMMERICH,
- 2875 reads
THE legislature is in session and big money is on the line – $21 billion. This represents 18.3 percent of Mississippi's total GDP of $115 billion.
Mississippi citizens need a clear understanding of the budget. In the end, our votes make the difference.
The Mississippi Legislative Budget Office has a website with detailed information on the budget. Some of the data is confusing, even contradictory, but I have extracted and summarized the data to the best of my ability.
For the 2019 data, I downloaded the report "Budget Summary 2018 Legislative Session." For the 2010 data, I downloaded the report "State of Mississippi Budget Fiscal Year 2010."
There are two main ways to observe the state budget: The first way is the "general fund." This is where state taxes go to fund the state budget. This year's general fund is $5.5 billion.
Then there is the much larger budget of "total appropriations." This includes not just the general fund but also federal grants and special purpose funds. For instance, the Mississippi Department of Transportation gets all of its money from the gas tax special purpose fund and federal grants. There is no money budgeted for MDOT through the general fund.
First the big picture: The total state budget is up five percent over the last nine years, compared to inflation during that period of 17 percent. So in real dollars, the state budget has declined dramatically.
This is a huge change from the previous decade, when state budget doubled over 10 years and grew at twice the inflation rate.
There is one factor that skews the numbers. In 2010, the Mississippi Economic Development Authority received $1.8 billion in federal funds, presumably the last of the Katrina money, so the "Ag and Ec. Dev." 2010 line item is unusually high.
Between 2000 and 2010, federal money increased from $6.4 billion in 2000 to $15 billion in 2010. Since then, it has leveled off.
The big ticket item is Medicaid. The state is having to pay far more of its share of Medicaid than it used to.
In 2010 Mississippi was paying five percent of the total Medicaid cost. But by 2019, Mississippi's share rose to 13 percent – causing the biggest single increase in the general fund budget.
This is a result of the state being one of 14 states which hasn't expanded Medicaid. A Brookings Institute report "Do States Regret Expanding Medicaid," details how the expansion of Medicaid actually lowered states' share of the overall costs, bringing in billions without significant extra state costs.
Mississippi, being a poorer state, would have benefited even more than many other state, providing federal manna from heaven, but our Republican state leaders wouldn't touch anything associated with Obamacare. This is called cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Public education is the next big item. Over 10 years the public education total budget increased two percent, well below the 17 percent inflation rate. So in real dollars, we are spending 15 percent less than 10 years ago on public education.
State spending on higher education is down 14 percent – about 30 percent down adjusted for inflation. Fortunately, federal research grants and other funds have offset some of these cuts. Meanwhile, college tuition costs have risen dramatically.
Social welfare has skyrocketed both in the general fund and total budget. These are dozens of programs administered by the Department of Human Services, such as child protective services, food stamps, child support, early childhood development and unemployment compensation.
Transportation is up four percent in real dollars, down 14 percent adjusted for inflation over 10 years. All this money comes from federal grants and the gas tax.
Mental health services have declined dramatically as the feds have pressured the state to close down centralized facilities. That's one reason for more mentally ill homeless on the streets. Public health funding is also down in nominal and inflation-adjusted dollars.
Corrections has risen significantly. This is one reason the legislature is pushing for alternative courts for addicts and the mentally ill. Locking people up is expensive.
The judiciary and courts are costing a lot more. We have funded a new statewide public defenders agency (a good thing) and the computerization of courts is expensive. The attorney general's budget, trial judges and district attorneys are all costing a lot more money.
Fiscal affairs include the state auditor's office, tax commission, treasurer's office and the Department of Finance and Administration. It's up mainly because that category now includes the Department of Information Technology, with its $27 million budget.
Big picture is this: After decades of rapid growth fueled by oceans of federal dollars, the state budget is now shrinking when adjusted for inflation. The federal spigot is getting turned off by a combination of federal debt and Mississippi Republicans.
Like it or not, that probably explains why Mississippi has quit growing for the first time in 50 years.

Memorial Day: A time to remember our fallen heroes
The beginnings of Memorial Day are believed to go back to shortly after the Civil War, May 5, 1868, when Maj. Gen. John A Logan, the head of an organization of Union veterans, established "Decoration Day" as a time to recognize the war dead by decorating their graves with flowers. The date was chosen, it seems, because flowers of some sort would be in bloom in most parts of the country. The first large observance was held that same year (1868) at Arlington National Cemetery, across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. Cities and states adopted the holiday over the years, and by the end of the 19th century, Memorial Day ceremonies were being held on May 30 throughout the nation. Only after World War I, however, was the day expanded to honor those who died in all American wars. In 1971, Memorial Day was declared a national holiday by an act of Congress, and it was then also placed on the last Monday in May.
Memorial Day: a time for connection
Readers of this blog will know how important I believe it is to study history—to connect with the past so we can better understand the present and better prepare for the future. In particular, Memorial Day is a time to connect with those who have gone before and given their lives for the freedoms we enjoy today. It's a time to reflect on our values as a nation and to say a prayer of gratitude for those men and women in uniform who still serve this great nation.
The American flag: our Memorial Day symbol
This video featuring the wonderful song "Ragged Old Flag," written and sung by the late Johnny Cash, takes us on a trip back in time and inspires us to reflect on all that our flag has seen and all that it still represents. I encourage you to do something concrete this Memorial Day to express your appreciation for those who have died in service to our country. Attend a local celebration. Contribute to a veterans group. Support organizations that help wounded warriors. Our nation is only as strong as we, its citizens, so we must each do our part to keep that flag flying high.

I've tried to write the introduction to this review four times, deleting and revising my attempts to introduce the uneducated to Reggie Watts. I give up. It's impossible to truly explain Reggie Watts in any kind of condensed, summarized version. He stands for so much, while also standing for nothing. He's hilarious but unfunny in the most intentional and unintentional ways. He's a genius composer and skilled beatboxer. And nothing about him makes any sense unless you want it to.
With the release of his newest standup/music CD, Why $#!+ So Crazy?, we finally have a document that's somewhat representative of the improvisational, nonsensical music/comedy act that Watts has been crafting since 2004. Firmly based in jazz and hip hop, Watts's live show consists of him beatboxing drum patterns, basslines, and harmonies one by one, looping and sequencing them with a delay modeler pedal to create the musical backdrop, before unleashing a stream of consciousness rant of nonsense words and sounds in the form of an abstract emcee or beat poet. And strangely, each song builds, swells, and moves to crescendos, resulting in fully formed musical pieces. There is a method within his madness, and the result is maybe the most pure representation of how purely powerful the elements of music can really be, both individually and collectively.
Watts' music is a testament to the exploration of negative space musical elements; specifically, the non-obvious (and some would even say unimportant) parts of "normal" hip hop, or even general pop music. For instance, take a normal rap song. You actively listen to a song to hear (a) the actual lyrics that the emcee says; and (b) the overall texture of the beat that's been preproduced to meld with the rapping. You don't care about how the beat was created, you don't really listen to the grunts or the sounds that a rapper says in between the words. You don't care about the moments in between the words, the spaces in between the sequences of the beat. You want a fully formed product. Sure, you can always engage in deconstruction if you want, but for the most part, you are listening to the song as a whole, unconcerned with the elements and the parts that are literally there to fill the space in between the more important or meaningful parts of the song.
Watts comprises songs full of those unimportant noises and sounds, those grunts and nonsensical babbles, that are usually there to fill space. He creates the beat piece by piece for you, to the point where you listen to the song as a collection of elements, rather than a song as a whole. You don't even notice that you're bobbing your head, so those moments where Watts throws a conventional music moment at you (a beat drop, a hook or refrain), your mind has to cycle back around to the realization that you are actually hearing something enjoyable as a whole, not just fascinating or impressive in the elements he lays out in front of you.
That isn't to say that Watts doesn't have things to say. His studio single, "Fuck Shit Stack" is an over-the-top celebration of crude language that slowly transforms into a scathing indictment of the childish tendencies of rappers and hip hop culture. Buried deep in "A Future in the Future" lays a dense rant against the cyclism and futility of technological improvement, told in the completely insignificant metaphor of candy wrappers making noise during movies. "Rainbows" is a simple story of a drug deal, formed as a love ballad to the ritualistic tendencies of users. And the gorgeous R&B-like "Social Construct" is a drug-infused existential exploration of daily life. And to be honest, I could probably write this review ten times, and attribute ten different meanings to each of these songs.
The songs are as meaningful and profound as you want, like all true art should be. Regardless of what Watts originally meant in creating the songs, they exist in the cultural consciousness and become what the audience wants it to be. And in an era where pop music consumption is so passive and lifeless, it's been a thrill to have something to sink my teeth into, without being unenjoyable to wade through (see: lots of jazz). At any time, you can turn your brain off and enjoy the beautifully crafted beats, or listen to Watts' gorgeous melodies, or, like I'm sure Watts intended, you can just sing along to the chorus of "Fuck Shit Stack," which is way more fun than I really care to admit.
The comedy aspect of Watts's style is more perplexing. It's no surprise that Watts won the 2006 Andy Kaufman Comedy Award, as his comedic stylings in many ways mirror the almost antagonistic way that Kaufman treated his audience for the sake of humor. Watts doesn't directly antagonize, but often phases in and out of accents and voices, creating characters and telling jokes that don't have punchlines in between his songs. Meanwhile, there are moments in his music that are simultaneously hilarious and borderline disturbing, such as the ending rant on "Get Your Shoes On," in which Watts recreates a fight between a man and a woman trying to get out the door to go out for the night. Filled with hilarious lines, it builds to the man yelling furiously for her to "get her motherfucking shoes on." You laugh because it's all you can do; all while feeling like the artist could be funnier if he wanted to, but simply has no interest in being conventionally hilarious in the way we expect him to. And believe me, I mean that in the most complimentary way possible: Watts is a fearless performer who has pulled legions of fans into his sphere, forcing them to recognize the beauty and genius of his music and style. That is the hallmark of a revolutionary artist.
The first time I was exposed to Reggie Watts a few years ago, I was convinced I had just seen one of the greatest performances I had ever seen, even though I couldn't figure out why. My friend turned to me and simply yelled in desperation, "What is he doing?!?!" Over time, I've come to understand the reasons why I love him so much, and watch with delight in seeing so many other people starting that journey in understanding why he's such a fantastic performer and creative talent. It's not easy; and for what it's worth, I'm glad there aren't more people doing things like Reggie Watts. I think we'd all burn out pretty quickly. The world only needs, and perhaps can only handle one Reggie Watts at a time. But thank god we've got the one.

After Saturday's UFC night, I had some extra bierock dough left over. Those things have been very popular lately so I have had a lot of scrap dough to play around with.
This time I made pig in the blankets for my son's school lunches. It is pretty straight forward. I rolled out the dough and used a pizza roller to cut out strips about an inch wide.
Since everything is better with cheese, I cut a slit in the dogs and added a few small strips of muenster cheese.
Aren't I creative? I managed to get the strips of dough and dogs in one shot. It was getting late and I was getting tired.
Gently wrap the dough around the dogs. Make sure the dough is wrapped tight but don't force it. Seal the dough by wetting the end of the strip with water and pressing it against the bottom.
Let proof and bake at 375 F for about 15 minutes or until golden.My son came home today and told me that all the kids at his table thought I should sell them to the cafeteria. How funny!

Do you like to decorate your bathroom? How do you decorate your bathroom? Does decorate bathroom important? Bathroom is part of your house which is very important. Some people think that decorating and designing bathroom is important and some of them think differently, they do not take much effort to decorate and design their bathroom. Every house has different design including the bathroom design. For them who prefer masculine and calm sensation may use gray bathroom ideas for their bathroom.
Match gray to others color
Gray is best choice because it will match with dark and light color if you want to match two color or more. Dark color will give aesthetic sensation, when you put together with light color like red, it will give luxurious sensation.
When gray combined with black, it will give a room elegant and masculine sensation. Gray and black will make masculine sensation, but if you combine gray with soft color, it will make feminine sensation. Just one color gray, but different combination will make the gray masculine and feminine.
Applying gray for your bathroom design
Gray can be applied in many ways in your bathroom, not only the wall of the bathroom but also the cabinet, and the others furniture that you set in the bathroom. In applying gray in your bathroom, you may set it in any ways you like but you have to match it with other color so your bathroom will not be sorrow and dark. For you who like unique and ethnic design, you may apply gray in your ceramic and put some ethnic accessories in your bathroom.
Minimalist concept can use gray as its color because minimalist concept often give elegant sensation. In other words, minimalist concept suits gray because its elegancy. In minimalist concept, you apply gray in the ceramic and some furniture then give bathroom cabinet white color, whereas for the wall you can't apply dark color because it will give small space sensation, apply light color such white for the wall to give large space sensation in the bathroom. You may choose dull or bright lightning for your gray minimalist concept bathroom, those choices appropriate for the gray minimalist concept.
It is how you apply gray bathroom ideas for your bathroom design. Gray can apply in any kind of design with appropriate furniture and you may choose what kind of sensation you want from gray.

306 Northern Ave.
Boston, MA 02210
Another great spot for the City Guides...Harpoon Brewery! Located right on the waterfront of Boston, this craft brewery is an great place to visit. They offer tours of the brewery and have a great beer hall where you can enjoy the beer (obviously...). I'm more of a wine girl myself, but I love beer when it's done right, and Harpoon's selection was delicious. I don't know anything about beer so I hope you're not looking for an intelligent analysis here....all I can say is that it was so fun to try a flight of different flavors. But the best part? The gourmet pretzels were out of this world! Choose from a classic, cinnamon sugar or parmesan pretzel, then add a pairing of specialty dips. So. Yummy. My personal favorite was the cinnamon sugar with icing and maple peanut butter dip. If you're in Boston, you've got to go here!

Selecting and Deploying Elliptic Curves in Security Protocols. PDF
Abstract: The development and adoption of a cryptographic standard is a delicate endeavor with competing and conflicting actors, which becomes only harder with integration into security protocols some yet undefined. This talk looks at the use of Elliptic Curves (EC) in a sliver of pervasive security protocols. We cover NIST-defined ECs, impact of new information made available in the past couple of years, and current attempts to alleviate sometimes unsubstantiated yet valid concerns over these curves. This talk also presents an elliptic curve selection algorithm and its analysis from a performance and security perspective including rigid parameter generation, constant-time implementation, and exception-free scalar multiplication.
Guido Marco Bertoni, ST Microelectronics, Italy
Permutation-based encryption for lightweight applications.
In the recent years we have seen a rapid development of cryptographic primitives based on permutations. The talk gives an overview on how you can easily build hash functions, stream ciphers, PRNGs, authenticated encryption and other constructions starting from a fixed-width permutation. This flexibility can be particular useful in resource-constrained applications, basically a single primitive can satisfy all the security needs typically requested to symmetric key primitives. Finally there will be the introduction of Ketje, a lightweight authenticated encryption developed in collaboration with Joan Daemen, Michael Peeters, Gilles Van Assche and Ronny Van Keer.
Johann Heyszl, Hardware Security, Fraunhofer AISEC, Germany
High-Resolution Magnetic Field Side-Channels and their Affect on Cryptographic Implementations.
The last years have again seen many new developments in the field of side-channel analysis. Partly, new insights are driven by side-channel measurement equipment which becomes increasingly sophisticated due to the fact that respective devices are readily available to academics, as well as to industry and potential attackers. This talk discusses the impact of available high-resolution measurement equipment to measure magnetic fields on implementations of cryptographic algorithms. The progress in this segment of side-channel analysis affects different kinds of cryptographic implementations including light-weight implementations of elliptic curve cryptography, symmetric cryptographic algorithms, physical unclonable functions as well as new attempts to achieve leakage resilience for block ciphers by special constructions.

Robert P. Stiller, founder and chairman of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. (GMCR), sold $66.3 million of his stock before it plunged the most in four months on news that Starbucks Corp. (SBUX) had developed a rival to its K-Cup brewer.
Stiller's combined sales on Feb. 15 and 24 were his largest in a single month since at least 2003, when the stock traded below $2, data compiled by Bloomberg show. He would have received $13.7 million less had he sold after March 9, when the shares fell 16 percent on Starbucks' introduction of a machine for home-brewing single cups of espresso and coffee, a challenge to Green Mountain's Keurig system.
"We recently learned of Starbucks' planned initiative in the espresso-based single-cup category," Green Mountain said in a March 9 regulatory filing, a day after the machine was announced. "However, we were not made aware of any additional capabilities." Spokesmen for Green Mountain wouldn't specify when it learned of the plan.

Re-thrash, a Postmortem
. . .
It appears safe at this point to pronounce the thrash revival officially dead. I can't think of the last notable piece of work from that scene to remain on my iPod—either Havok's Point of No Return or Vektor's Outer Isolation. Both of those works dropped in 2011. That makes for one year with no signs of life, except for another release, like clockwork, from Municipal Waste.
As it happens, Municipal Waste's first album, Waste 'Em All, just had its tenth birthday. I like the band but don't hold a torch for their debut—I prefer its successor, Hazardous Mutation. This will sound like a circular critique for an album more-or-less designed to provoke nostalgia, but Waste 'Em All sounds dated. The record is about having fun, but it feels square. I felt the same way about last year's The Fatal Feast. The most interesting things about that album—the synthesizer interludes and vague outer space theme—seemed added to the record simply so publicists would have something new to comment on.
It's an inglorious endpoint for the sub genre that Digby Pearson believed would jump-start heavy metal out of a commercial rut. Admittedly, Pearson was not completely off-base: re-thrash has done some big business. After all, a re-thrash band, Black Tide, played the main stage on Ozzfest 2007 while Nile and Behemoth played the the smaller Jagermeister stage (to be fair, the band was slated to play the small stage as well, but were kicked off due to the band being under the legal drinking age, but they signed to Interscope so they still count as big money in my book.) More recently, Municipal Waste recorded a commercial for Vans shoes—how many bands get to endorse clothing?
The commercial shows off every cliché of the re-thrash movement: skateboards, urban decay, and of course high-top shoes. I half expected to see someone in a pizza delivery car, maybe a beat-up Iroc or Cutlass Supreme. The only element missing is beer, and Vans can't have people beer bonging in a commercial aimed at teenage boys. All of these objects—none of which have anything to do with the music itself, or metal in general—make an aesthetic language that re-thrash spoke fluently right out of the gate.
Re-thrash's aesthetic was probably the most marketable thing about it, and having a distinct visual style goes a long way toward getting outsiders interested in a kind of metal. It gives people a hook, a reason to work past any abrasiveness in the music itself. As silly as it is, corpse-paint probably kept black metal alive in America long enough for well-to-do urbanites to co-opt it. The thrasher look is an easier sell than the black metal one: can you imagine an alternate universe where Rimfrost make viral commercials for stage makeup or black leggings?
. . .
The music and the aesthetic sold a kind of fantasy nostalgia. Re-thrash didn't just ape the sound of crossover thrash, it aped the pop culture that surrounded that music. Hell, "The Thing," on Hazardous Mutation copies the horror film of the same name from 1980 verbatim. Perhaps the 'aughts themselves had a bit of an '80s obsession—both Transformers and "Reganomics" became cultural phenomena again.
But the re-thrashers dealt in escapism, not history. If everyone in Black Tide was 20 in 2007, there is no way the members themselves remember the '80s. Their music recalls the '80s the way those boys have been exposed to it: through the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and SOD records. It cannot authentically recall the cultural zeitgeist of that time. History repeats itself, but not with precision. Fantasy's been a part of metal since the beginning—I see no objective difference between romanticizing previous lives in the viking age or in the 1980s.
I can't speak for the entirety of the international market, but I can relate precisely what I experienced on the ground level at my local record store, which specializes in metal and is something of a scene hub in Toledo, Ohio. At that establishment, directly after Hazardous Mutation was released, Heavy Artillery Records posters went on the walls, and the discussion was not about denim jackets, it was about metal consciously returning to something people could relate to.
Keep in mind this was 2003-4. The big records in the underground zeitgeist were things like Panopticon—openly marketed as "thinking-man's metal". The subtext in that statement: other metal does not encourage thought, maybe doesn't even deserve much thought. Re-thrash dealt in the visceral. Its lyrics were superficial.
It was unthinking music.
Lich King – "Black Metal Sucks"
. . .
This was the golden age of over-the-top extreme metal. Necrophagist actually had new music at that time, while bands like Arsis made waves with shreddy debut records. Many of the most renowned European musicians of the '90s were, at that time, cranking out symphonic black and death metal records with reckless abandon—for a brief bit there, Dimmu Borgir and Cradle of Filth were filling the void that Mudvayne left on MTV. Unlike those bands, re-thrash took minimalism to heart: minimal run times, minimal instrumentation.
Thrash had no compositional influence on cutting-edge metal at that time. The aforementioned bands share only a few things: down-tuning, and dense layers of arrangement. The core of thrash is in the way the guitar riffs alternate between low-end chugging and technical flourishes. Classic thrash is littered with percussive starts and stops—look in a Metallica or Slayer sheet music book, and you will find lots of half and even whole rests. The genre uses negative space to accentuate its own forward motion, and that compositional element was not en vogue in 2003.
. . .
Vindicator – "Dead in the Water"
. . .
The appeal of re-thrash was that, at a time when metal was perhaps at its most aristocratic, re-thrash was working-class in sound and aesthetic. It broke through the underground at an opportune time: VH1 had just launched its Americanized version of I Love the '80s at the end of 2002, followed by the networks oft-maligned 100 Most Metal Moments in 2004. Pop culture was primed for a throwback to the denim and leather days directly when Hazardous Mutation dropped.
I call it an evolutionary accident that had profound repercussions, perhaps not in the way Pearson expected. While re-thrash produced a sudden glut of touring bands, not many of them sold particularly well, nor did they produce very many stone-cold classic records. What it did was bring thrash into the greater conversation in heavy metal, as well as give those older bands a much-needed shot in the arm. MTV-approved metalcore bands brought thrash into their vocabulary in a big way—Lamb of God tapped Alex Skolnik and Chris Poland for solos on 2004's Ashes of the Wake. Two years later, Matt Heafy shot his career in the foot by indulging too much Metallica fandom on The Crusade. After years of mediocre records, or at least records commonly regarded as sub-par, Slayer and Megadeth started writing good records again. I daresay the newest material by Exodus and Testament is the very best of their respective careers.
. . .
Exmortus – "In Hatred's Flame"
. . .
So why didn't the young guns reap their own bounty? It certainly wasn't a lack of interest or marketing. For once, by my reckoning the market actually functioned as the meritocracy that metal fans bemoan it for not being. Even as an avid fan of Heavy Artillery records and their ilk, I will be the first to admit that most of the re-thrash bands just made bad music.
The genre wrote itself into a corner. From the start, it never represented the totality of thrash, just the select spectrum of it that mimicked DRI, Nuclear Assault, and SOD. Re-thrash bands, on the whole, approached the genre as formalists: their albums were all as short as Reign in Blood or shorter, half an hour or less with very few exceptions. Some musicians use formalism as a creative exercise, but most re-thrash bands used concise songs as an excuse to play as quickly as possible. In so doing they lost the negative space that made the re-thrash movement invigorating in the first place.
That formalism also lost the creative spark that thrash, Californian and Teutonic, flaunted so heavily in the late '80s. At its peak, thrash was not just crossing over, it was also producing arena rock ballads and progressive epics while mutating into death and black metal. Thrash moves forward, literally and figuratively. It was foolhardy to try and trap that lightning in a bottle by going backward in time.
. . .
Skeletonwitch – "Baptized in Flames"
. . .
In the end, the bands from that genre that mean the most to me did one of two things: they played the genre better than their heroes did (Municipal Waste, Havok, Vindicator), or they continue to move it forward. Few bands have done so much to stretch, bend, and break their genre conventions as Vektor. Even fewer bands care so little about sub genre distinctions as Skeletonwitch. Both of those bands see the past not so much for what it was or was not, but for what it might have been—and could still be. Most importantly, they write songs I want to hear over and over again in the course of their revisionist histories.

|The cypress near our garden. This is a mystifying new landscape for me.
Despite our continual busyness, Nathanael and I have been enjoying our thesis-free time immensely.
We have already put much more work into our garden, but even that time has felt more relaxed, both because there are no obligations awaiting us at home, and because the drive between home and the garden ins much shorter.
|Our garden a few weeks ago, when we were just beginning to plant
Nathanael is building a few rows of woven bamboo trellis to train our beans, melons, cucumbers and gourds upon, and they are such pretty structures. (I don't have pictures of those because he finished building them in the dark, but you will see them soon!)
|One of the plants with highest silica, those ridges are good for scouring and buffing.
|Each of these segments "pops" out and will click back into place...though it won't grow after that.
While moving some wood we uncovered some mysterious looking creatures that we have yet to look up.
They look like a cross between a stick bug and a crawfish.
Though I don't plan on eating one.
Seriously, if these came from another planet, how would we even know...why are we not as intrigued by their presence here as we would be elsewhere. Who knows, they may be trying to communicate.
I have selected this song for you this week because I have been thinking about exploring and about outer space, and actually a lot of people have been thinking about outer space this week. And though we now know that none of the planets in our solar system have any (conspicuous) unearthly creatures and giant purple forests, the lands and spaces we will never personally visit will always drive our creative minds, whether those far away places be the in depths of the ocean, in the corners of the solar system or on other earthly continents. Or actually, living right here in a state where didn't grow up has shown me creatures and forests to which I previously gave no thought, so I am beginning to realize that I don't need to travel far to be surprised. For this song of the week, I have chosen Mercury from Gustav Holst's the Planets. I think we all end up listening to the same ten or twelve classical music pieces all of the time (thanks pandora), while missing out on so many exciting and imaginative compositions. So please enjoy, while thinking of planets (and earthly spaces) undiscovered.
Note: Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis is a story about a trip to the planet we know as Mars (while the silent planet is earth), but I was more in the mood for Gustav Holst's Mercury. So, different planet.

Sir Alex Ferguson has denied telling
Wesley Sneijder to accept Manchester United's current contract offer or forget about moving to Old Trafford this summer.
Ferguson appeared to signal he had grown tired of Sneijderâs wage demands and was set to give up on signing the Inter Milan star as Unitedâs search for a replacement for Paul Scholes goes on.
Reports during the weekend suggested Sneijder is holding out for a deal similar to Wayne Rooney âs, thought to be around £250,000-a-week.
And Sir Alex was quoted as saying: âIf he wants to come he must accept our contract offer.
âIf not, we have other options in mind. Weâre done talking.â
The United boss, however, later denied having ever made the comments, claiming: 'Absolute nonsense.I have never discussed him. There is nothing new.'
If the Sneijder deal does fall through, one option open to United may be 21-year-old Tom Cleverley who impressed Ferguson during Unitedâs 2-1 victory over Barcelona in Washington on Saturday.
MORE: Manchester United transfer news and speculation
Speaking after the game about changing Unitedâs midfield, the Scottish manager said: âIt's crucial because with Paul Scholes retiring and Darren Fletcher still recovering from his virus it's an area we have to find a solution for.
'Tom Cleverley, physically, isn't the strongest lad but he's wily and he has a great idea of the game. He's a good footballer and I thought he was our best player tonight.
'His discipline was terrific, he's a good passer, he has good eyes. He's a big possibility to start for us at the start of the season.'
United take on bitter rivals Manchester City in the Community Shield at Wembley next weekend.

Genre:Point & Click adventure game Developer:Phoenix Online Studios
This a point & click adventure game with deep horror titles. The game Kitchen an indie studio based in Spain, kills two crows with one stone as it perfectly merges classic adventure and unrelenting horror with its pixelated series The Last Door. After long waiting for two years the release of The Last Door: Collector's Edition, we finally get to continue the nightmarish tale with The Last Door: Season 2. If you compare the season two the first was just a tiny peek behind the piece that separates our reality from a realm of mysterious darkness. The Last Door: Season 2 pulls the veil all the way back to reveal a terrifying adventure game that proves you don't need buckets of blood, jump-scares cutting-edge or visuals to be deeply scary. In the Last Door season 1 chills come in decidedly lowe fashion, but it doesn't mean they're less effective, and people are desperately waiting for release for this second chapter of point-and-click adventure for a while. Your journey starts victorian England, and focused manly on the psychologist to the first season's protagonist.
The Last Door: Season 2 takes you to four new episodes which will keep you occupied for a while, and if you find the last Door, please let us know what's on other side:unless it's something unspeakably horrible.

How does one sum up one lone day in a city you never visited before? A tough task.
I touched down in Vancouver at 10.30am on Monday morning. It is my first visit to the west coast of Canada and to this city that's gearing up for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Driving into downtown from the airport, it felt very much like Seattle – a Pacific Northwest metropolis with a stunning natural setting that takes your breath away. Mountains meet the ocean meets the rainforest greenery and old-growth forests hiding hundreds of years of unspoken wisdom.
After checking into my downtown hotel, I went out to explore. I had a 5.30pm appointment so my encounter with Vancouver was to be short and hopefully sweet. I strolled Robson Street, the main shopping thoroughfare lined with big-name stores and funky independent boutiques. It was a pleasant walk but shopping isn't what a city makes. At least for me. Food, more so. My lunch was delicious, at a small waterfront restaurant, Raincity Grill on Denman Street, that serves organic locally sourced food from within the 100-mile radius. My salmon was succulent and perfect fuel for the walk along scenic English Bay toward the Granville Island ferry.

Administrative Reorganization Code of 1921
Aerial view of downtown Columbus, Ohio, ca. 1930-1945. The American Insurance Union Citadel (now known as LeVeque Tower), Ohio Statehouse, State Office Building and Columbus City Hall are pictured.
Following World War I, many Americans, including numerous Ohioans, sought a more efficient and smaller government at the state and federal levels. The Administrative Reorganization Code of 1921 addressed these concerns by reordering the Ohio state government. This legislation dramatically increased the governor's power, giving him the power to appoint the directors of eight separate administrative departments. The governor was to consult with the Ohio Senate before making appointments, but he did not have to follow the senators' advice. The eight departments were finance, commerce, highways and public works, agriculture, health, industrial relations, education, and public welfare. Each director had complete control over his or her respective department, but the directors served at the will of the governor. The Ohio legislature passed this legislation as an "emergency measure," and Governor Harry Lyman Davis, a member of the Republican Party, signed it into law in April 1921. If the legislature and the governor did not pass the bill by this means, Ohio voters could have demanded a referendum on the measure. Fearing that Democrats in the state would vote down the issue if it went to the people, the governor and legislature sought a legal but questionable means to guarantee the code's enactment. This new administrative system streamlined the Ohio state government dramatically by cutting thirty-seven agencies, boards, commissions, and offices.

Lion Hudson, publishers of quality Christian books for adults and children, asked us to build them a fun new e-commerce website to appeal to their wide audience including adults and children.
Scrollers on key pages including the homepage allow Lion Hudson to promote new titles using graphics they generate in house. They then upload the graphics and, with a few simple steps using the BDSDigital Content Management System, can easily configure the scrollers.
They also wanted to provide biographies for some of their authors so have made use of our authors database which enables them to easily generate pages which include an author biography alongside their books.
Another key requirement was that the new website should work on mobile devices. To enable this we built it on a responsive framework so that the layout is able to adapt depending on the screen size it is being viewed upon.
This means the site looks as good and functions just as well on mobile devices, such as smart phones and tablets, as it does on laptop and desktop computers.
