November 1, 2016, Prescott-
The classroom quiet is broken,
by a ten-year old,
telling his teacher
that black is white,
up is down, and so,
she should stop arguing with him.
The national stage
is occupied
by cartoon characters,
some dangerous,
others just annoying.
The media ranges
from warnings, of impending
from the far right
to shouts of "approaching Fascism",
from the far left.
I sit beside the child
and show him that black is
indeed, black
and up is, most assuredly,
not down.
Who will guide the nation,
away from the crush
of tantrums?

Sporting Rugby dad Colin Taylor has raised hundreds of pounds for charity by saying goodbye to his hair.
He lost his mother and sister to cancer and wanted to do something to help Macmillan Cancer Support.
The cut took place at Michael Bailie's barbers in Lawrence Sheriff Street last Friday.
Colin, of Spring Street, said: "Michael made a joke about not knowing where to start, so he said he would start from my bald spot and work outwards.
"A couple of customers gave me a donation while I was having it done and my total so far is about £400."
He would like to thank the owner of the barbers who did the cut for free.
Colin added: "He also donated me some money which was very nice of him."
He had full backing from his wife Ildiko and children Ashton, 20, and Erika, 10.

Learning how to use GitHub and contribute to Open Source projects should be among the first lessons that a new programmer learns. Unfortunately, getting started with GitHub and helping with Open Source projects can seem very confusing at first. Often, new programmers aren't sure where to start so they end up putting off learning how to use these valuable tools.
The good news is that setting up a GitHub account is easier than you might think and I have a tip that will allow even the newest programmer to start submitting Pull Requests and improving Open Source projects today.

Peterhead moved to the top of League Two with an away win against Stirling Albion.
Rory McAllister struck the only goal of the match just before half time – his 21st of an incredible season for the veteran striker – which saw the Blue Toon leapfrog Albion to take their place at the top of the table.
Striker McAllister had looked lively throughout the first half at Forthbank and had already threatened the Albion defence before getting on to the end of a quick break and firing the ball into the top right corner on 42 minutes.
Peterhead held firm in the second half and had a man advantage fro the final 15 minutes after Stirling's right-back Andrew Black was sent off for a challenge on Jordan Brown.
The win saw the Toon overtake both Stirling and Montrose and they now sit two points ahead of third-placed Albion and above the Gable Endies in second with a much better goal difference.

Kamanjab embarks on food-for-work programme
Clemans Miyanicwe Kamanjab Kamanjab yesterday launched a clean-up campaign involving the community through a food-for-work programme, which has already recruited 60 participants. "We cannot sit back while maize meal is available. I am so delighted by this initiative and I am proud to be part of the food-for-work programme," said 59-year-old Annamarie Xoagus, who is one of the 60 people taking part in the food-for-work programme at Kamanjab. The food-for-work programme commenced yesterday at the north-western town. This programme entails de-bushing as well as picking up litter. According to Kamanjab constituency councillor, Angenesia Tjaritje-Ensigue, the food-for-work programme targets households where no one is employed. "All of these people are coming from households where everybody is unemployed. Either it's pregnant women, those who retired long ago and the unemployed youths who are taking part in this programme," Tjaritje-Ensigue told New Era yesterday. Pregnant women do not do de-bushing, instead they are given light work to do such as picking up litter or pulling away branches that have been cut. Tjaritje-Ensigue said Kamanjab people are just assisting the government and want to be part of the Harambee Prosperity Plan. "We want a healthy and safe environment for our children thus we started this project under the Kunene Regional Council. We also want to create safe space for those who go to the police station by de-bushing trees in the way," Tjaritje-Ensigue said. The path used from the location to the police station, which is situated in town, is full of bushes and unlit. The Kamanjab constituency councillor said it pains her to see her town dirty and she said this initiative must not be seen as belonging to her office but to the wider village; the various line ministries, private sector and individuals are also called upon to contribute. Unemployed father of two, Theophelius Linyando Dacosta (33), said this project was nice for people like him who have nothing to do. "Instead of sitting at home doing nothing at least we have something to do," he said. Felicita /Naris (41), a mother of five who ekes out a living selling bottles, said the food-for-work programme is a great initiative. "This is a great initiative. Life is hard for some of us and working for food is a blessing," /Naris said. She said if the participants had been paid N$450 instead of food it would have been little. The programme participants will receive four 10 kilograms of Top Score maize meal, six bottles of 750ml cooking oil, four tins of beans and eight 750ml fish tins. The food-for-work programme will last for a month and participants will work from Monday to Thursday. The work commences at 07h00 and ends at 15h00 with a lunch break, over which the participants go home. The constituency office and the participants of the food-for-work programme have signed a contract. Kamanjab constituency staff member, Theresia Basson, helps out with the attendance register while Tjaritje-Ensigue works with the participants de-bushing the village. Kamanjab Village Council is assisting with trucks.

I came home today to an overabundance of gross things from my kitty's insides all over the house. Lakes of pee, a few charming vomit collections, and a running trail of diarrhea. I was gone for less than 12 hours. It took two of us about 45 minutes to clean it all up.
Poor old man! He will be 20 years old in May; and some of his systems have been failing for a while now. He still seems a little uncomfortable, but he's purring and hanging out and doing all his usual things ... but he has that sort of inward look on his fuzzy old face.
He and I have been friends for a long time. I've had him since he was a wee baby kitten. I can't quite imagine life without him, but I'm going start practicing. The day is coming soon.
Tell your pets you love them! Give them delicious treats, and long walks, and many cuddles! They leave us too soon.

An international news outlet says it's time to "forget Sydney" and make a culinary pilgrimage to Auckland instead.
In an article for Bloomberg, writer Amy Louise Bailey highlights Ponsonby restaurant Orphan's Kitchen, Ostro and Amano in Britomart, and Masu and Depot on Federal St, as she tracks the course of the city's growth to become "one of the most innovative culinary destinations in the South Pacific - rivalling even Sydney and Melbourne."
Bailey, who grew up in Auckland in the '90s, notes the city's food scene has come a long way from the "conventional" white table clothed restaurants serving up chocolate sponge cake to a city where restaurateurs are standing out for embracing New Zealand's Maori heritage and utilising the country's compact geography to source local, seasonal produce - a trend in top food establishments the world over.
The article cites the 2000 America's Cup and subsequent Viaduct development as the catalyst for Auckland's food transformation, identifying the period as an era where ingredients such as kumara and octopus became celebrated "stars on the plate".
Restaurant Association of New Zealand general manager, Nicola Walsren, tells Bailey the Viaduct was "Auckland's first real hospitality precinct" and says it created a domino effect now seen in the dining hubbubs of Ponsonby and Britomart.
Meanwhile, the Hipgroup's co-founder, Jackie Grant, is praised as being "at the heart of Auckland's culinary revolution" after starting Cafe on Kohi in 2004 and latterly establishing her nose-to-tail Italian restaurant, Amano.
Bailey quips: "If Auckland's food scene was slow to build, it's currently evolving at a rapid-fire pace."
And as another boat race appears on the horizon, Bloomberg predicts Auckland is sailing into a fresh boom in hospitality opportunities with several new developments underway including the massive mixed use development, Commercial Bayand hotel brands such as Park Hyatt and Sofitel, both moving in ahead of the 2021 America's Cup.
The article includes a list of top dining spots, from restaurants Depot, Ostro, Masu and dessert mecca Milse, to popular weekend markets such as the "ritzy street food" of Parnell's La Cigale and Ponsonby Central, described as "akin to New York's Chelsea Market".

Customer review
Do a good job
These things work pretty well, they can be a little tough to install but you just have to pull them hard, they stretch but dont break easily.
they are quite long and so you may want to cut them after installation if you dont want to re-use them.
Nice and soft so they cut down vibration a good deal. Cant complain for the price.
Much easier than threading screw holes; easy to fit and remove.
At this price, I'd recommend them purely to save yourself screw-related aggro, even if they make no difference sound-wise.
I will never again use screw mounts.
A "must have"
On my case (Antec P280) they noticeably decreased the noise from the stock Antec fans.
Fitting is fairly easy but you'll need good access to the fan mounting holes - I removed my motherboard to fit.
A good tip for fitting them is to stretch the rubber from BOTH ends to get the arrowheads through.
Although they're quite long you can easily push the tips out of the way.
The total effectiveness of this item may vary depending on your case and fans, but I think it's fair to say that it will ALWAYS produce better results than screwing a fan directly to a case. At this bargain price you'd be crazy not to use them.

We have an old error back by some users. This message has been gone for a while.
The crazy thing is, we have about 25 3d drawers who use the space explorer, they all have the same computer, same hardware, same installation of windows 7, the same programs, and the same rights on the computer and network.
Currently 5 people have problems with the space explorer, these get the message Unable to load user interface. I have solved this problem with a clean reinstall for one these users, and this has worked two months, and now the problem is back, this is for us no longer acceptable that so many problems occur with the space explorers.
One day the mouse starts fine, the next day the system must be rebooted 5 times before it works.
Please help
I didn't find the right solution from the internet.

Earlier this week in Boston, a time capsule that was placed inside a lion statue in 1901 was opened at a private reception. The metal box contained a bright red book and a few other items (unrevealed to the public for now).
While we all speculate about what the time capsule contains (and what the book's all about), let's think about what we'd put in our own time capsules.
What would you all put in your time capsules, ClashTalkers? Where would you want it buried? When would you want it opened?

ConversionPoint Technologies Chief Marketing Officer, Chris Jahnke, sat down with Digital Commerce 360 to discuss Amazon Ads.
From the article:
The tools available via Amazon.com Inc.'s advertising unit, Amazon Marketing Services (AMS), aren't intuitive, says Chris Jahnke, chief marketing officer at ConversionPoint Technologies Inc., an online retailer that sells private-label health and beauty products. That makes managing AMS ad campaigns a manual, cumbersome process. Even so, ConversionPoint Technologies plans to boost its AMS spending by 500% next year. The reason? The platform is boosting the retailer's sales on Amazon's online marketplace at a reasonable cost. Highly targeted keywords using AMS cost ConversionPoint Technologies about 4.7% of a sale on average, which Jahnke considers "great." For broader keywords, the retailer's average keyword cost of sale ranges from 15% to 25%, which is certainly higher, but "still great," he says.
While a 500% jump in spending sounds significant—and it is—it's worth noting that ConversionPoint Technologies' AMS spending increase stems from a small base; Amazon ads currently represent less than 1% of the retailer's digital advertising spending. But the retailer is new to AMS, it began investing in the ads about six months, and the rapid growth of the retailer's interest in Amazon's advertising offerings is a sign that AMS is quickly emerging as an important piece of ConversionPoint Technologies' marketing mix.

Years ago I ordered some BK bearing blocks and they did not come with the spacer tubes (2off). What happens is the ballscrew gets clamped up hard against the seals (the parts left inside your blocks with the bearings removed) and they are then very difficult to rotate. I dont know why they sometimes send them out like this.
I had a friend turn up 2 spacers on his lathe and all was well.
Either ask the supplier where the spacers are
Or get someone to make up some spacer tubes
If you check my YouTube channel (routercnc) episode 5 shows me building up a ballscrew and mount. Note the brass buffers are nice to have but could still work without. Here you will see the spacers you need.
In terms of bearings then you have the budget ones. As Clive says you can optionally upgrade to AC bearings but either way you need the spacers.Building a CNC machine to make a better one since 2010 . . .

I talked with the seller and it was a heated phone call and he said i didn't know what i am talking about and went to say that it's because of my inexperience that i am not able to get them to work right but at the end told me to ship the ballscrews and the blocks and get my money back so i am going do that and never am i gonna deal with him again. Thanks for the help guys much appreciated @Clive @routercnc.

On a sad note, my friend Alice Burress of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina passed away on Friday, September 5, 2014, after a battle of many years with the disease, lupus. Alice was a highly respected architect, an artist, a formidable tennis player, a reader and thinker of great insight, a wonderful wife, mother and friend, and a tough cookie in the face of a ruthless disease.
This was Alice at one of her favorite events,the Family Circle Cup Tennis Tournament, in 2005.
Alice and I were in a book group together, and it was after Alice reintroduced our group to the fiction of Flannery O'Connor in 2009 that I began a four-year art project interpreting O'Connor fiction. Alice helped establish a lupus support group for the greater Charleston area, and in 2012 she and I participated with the music group, The Harrows, and others in a lupus fundraiser at the Tin Roof, a popular rock music venue in Charleston. Art and music related to Flannery O'Connor (who also suffered from lupus) provided the entertainment that night. This was a group who knew how to balance the serious in life with the lighter side, and how to make others feel at ease. And that sums up my memory of Alice Burress. I will miss her deeply but will always remember her wit and humor.

Route 66 Festival returning
The 20th annual Route 66 Festival is making an appearance in City Park next weekend.
The two-day festival runs 5 p.m. until midnight, Friday June 9, and 8 a.m. to midnight., Saturday, June 10.
The celebration honors the historic "Mother Road" that travels from Chicago all the way to Santa Monica, Calif.
"As long as the weather cooperates, we always have a great crowd. A lot of people see this festival as a kick-off to the summer park events, which have always been so popular," Program Coordinator for Parks and Recreation Katie Grable said.
The family-friendly event will feature local food and beer vendors, trolley tours, live music, children's activities, the Metro Milers 10K run and walk, the classic car show, and more.
With this year being the festival's 20th year, Grable said there are some new additions.
"The Me2You Game Truck is one of them and I believe it will help us fill a need for the older kids and teens. Every parent knows that face painting and balloon animals lose their luster with the older kids, so we're thrilled to have found something that will truly make the festival an event for all ages," she said.
"We also plan to have a rock climbing tower."
At 6:30 p.m., The Catapults will take center stage to kick off Friday's music lineup. Next up will be the Jeremiah Johnson Band at 9 p.m. to close out the night.
On Saturday, The Mellow Dees will perform at 2:30 p.m., followed by Blackwater Revival at 6:30 p.m. The festival closes with Johnny Holzum & Well Hungarians at 9:30 p.m.
The Metro Milers 10K Run and the Trailnet Route 66 bike ride will take place at 8 a.m., Saturday, June 10, as well. The 10K run will start and end at City Park. Prior to the race, packet pickup and registration will take place at First to the Finish in Edwardsville on Friday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Packets are also available on race day at City Park on Saturday morning.
More information about the run can be found at www.route6610k.com.
The Trailnet bike ride will include extra short, short, medium and long bike paths. The terrain will range from flat to rolling; however, it will not include any large hills. Cyclists are encouraged to park in the lot on Kansas Street.
More information about the bike ride can be found at www.trailnet.org.
Grable said a key sponsor for the festival continues to be Cork Tree Creative, Inc., which has remained an active sponsor since 2013.
"Cork Tree Creative has been our biggest sponsor since 2013. It's a partnership that I am extremely thankful for. We have been fortunate to have support from many area businesses, but there are several longtime sponsors that return each year, including TheBANK of Edwardsville, Madison Mutual, Cassens Transport, JF Electric, Abstracts & Titles, Scott Credit Union, First Clover Leaf Bank, RP Lumber, Phillips 66, Republic Services and The Intelligencer. It's hard for me to remember a year that these businesses haven't supported it," she said.
The classic car show will start at 4 p.m. Saturday, followed by the car cruise at 6:30 p.m.
Grable said overall everyone seems to enjoy the same festivities each year.
"I think there is a consistency that people appreciate. We have great music, drinks and children's activities and everything is very affordable. Several of the children's activities are even free. We also have a wonderful classic car show and cruise, which supports the Edwardsville Police Youth Academy. One of my favorite things is to see all of the festival goers crowd around the perimeter of the grounds to get a look at the classic cars as they cruise by," she said.

3 phrases brands should never post to Facebook
You probably have a good idea of what your fans like, but no matter who your audience is, steer clear of these no-nos.
Running your company's Facebook page can sometimes be harrowing; you might feel like you can't say very much for fear of offending someone. While you do have to be careful, you are free to say quite a bit as long as you consider how it may impact your customers.
Once in a while, though, you run into something you should not say under any circumstances.
Here are the phrases you never want to post on Facebook:
1. "I don't know what to do."
Your customers come to your Facebook page for many reasons, but a common one is to seek help with a problem. Facebook pages have become a common way for the public to reach their favorite brands and businesses for help without sending an email or spending all day on the phone.
The last thing your customers want to hear from you is, "I have no idea what to do for you."
Don't take this to mean you can never be confused about an issue, but don't let the customer know you're utterly lost. Consider rewording it as "We'll look into it," or "We're on it, thanks for letting us know." Be sure to follow up when the problem is solved.
2. "This group is better than that group."
This no-no can come in many forms, whether it's discussing if Apple fans are better than Microsoft fans, or letting some accidental bias slip out. What these boil down to is "this group is better than that group."
Showing preference of any kind hardly ever goes well if you're trying to sell broadly. Even if you're strictly a niche company, showing preference can still bite you in the butt later. What if your niche changes to the group you offended earlier? It all comes back around eventually.
3. "This page is for positivity only."
Of course you want your company's page filled with butterflies and unicorns. Positive and encouraging comments always feel great. However, sometimes customers need to vent or figure out an issue.
If you make your customers feel like their negative comments aren't welcome, you defeat the purpose of a Facebook page. The idea is for customers to go online and talk with their favorite businesses and tell them what they think. If you ignore that or delete comments you don't like, customers will stop being able to relate to your business. Eventually, they'll ignore you altogether.

Life in the secular world is not intended to include a prayer time. Work starts early in the morning and continues late into the night. Weeks may pass before prayer crosses your mind. For many people, it is only an impossible situation that reminds them of the need for prayer. Dear friend, it is highly important for you to include prayer in your life.
GOD IS NOT A SPARE TYRE! A spare tyre is something that is never used except in emergencies. God is not a fool. Whatsoever a man sows, he will reap. If you have time for God on a regular basis, He will have time to bless you on a regular basis. It is only by the mercies of God that makes Him listen to some of our prayers.
You MUST DEVELOP your prayer life until you pray habitually without even thinking of what you are doing!

"She really doesn't like seeing you happy, does she?"
Right there.
In one simple observation, he summarized exactly the crux of the issue I was having with this friend – this person who has been a part of my life more than half of my life.
She really doesn't want to see me happy.
And I truly know that she isn't going "hey, Emmy's happy, how can I derail this happiness". I know that what she is saying and doing to me is more of a reflection of her own state of mind than my own. But damn…..
…..even that explanation does not ease the bullshit.
Because she is truly an unhappy person. While everyone wants to vent at times – needs to vent at times – the continual string of frustration with life is sometimes too much. The continual string of needing to fully analyze and criticize those whose reactions she does not agree with – is also too much. And the fact that her response to it all has increasingly become "control everything in my world" that I don't think she has realized it also means control people – how they think, how they look at the world, what they say, etc. And for people like me, who abhor anyone telling me how to think or act or be – well, no matter how many times I can repeat to myself "it's a reflection of her not me, it's a reflection of her not me" – it does not dull the anger and frustration I feel about it.
Hurting, not hurting. Happy, not happy. Angry, not angry. I don't fucking care – you don't have any right to tell people how to feel.
And in that situation, knowing how unhappy she truly is with her life – there isn't enough compassion in the world to make a friendship work with her without losing myself.
Today, on my Facebook feed, was a post by the fitness guru and life coach Chalene Johnson – I follow her because I like her personality and attitude on her workouts I do. The title of her post: "SORRY… BUT WE NEED TO BREAK UP…"
Yes, universe, I hear ya. I even said to SB last night as we spoke, I need to figure out what to do with this friend. I've known this on some level – but damn – nothing like having it shout at you, just like that – in a facebook feed, no less.
I'm going to post her whole post because – well, it's dead on….in so many fucking ways – not just in my situation but in so many. And while I've been there and done this with some people who were in my life, the process of hitting that point of "I'm done" is far from easy. I don't think it should be easy, truth be told, stuff is disposable, not people. And for it to be easy, well, makes me feel like I'm not treating people with care. But sometimes, it need to be done. Sometimes self preservation is more important.
Letting go, even when you know someone isn't good for you can be difficult. We fear change because the status quo represents comfort. But good things happen when you're willing to get a little uncomfortable.
Letting go of people who don't carry genuine love in their heart for you is something you can do for yourself. These people's negative nature has nothing to do with you. How they treated your relationship or their own potential says more about them then it does about YOU.
It's not personal. It's about them.
So take a deep breath, and say "sorry, but we need to break up." Have the strength to let go of these people… free them from your life. YOU deserve so much better!
This doesn't mean I want you running out and "breaking up" with people in your life that aren't moving you forward… This means I want YOU… on your end of the relationship… to make a conscious effort to NOT INVEST your time in these people and start investing your time in the people that really drive you towards the life you want.
Start to surround yourself with those that lift you up and support you. Put people in your life that keep you accountable and are a positive influence. Is there someone in your life that makes you just a little bit uncomfortable… uncomfortable in the sense of wanting to not let them down… not wanting to disappoint them?? Is there someone in your life that you look up to and almost makes you nervous to be around? That is someone who's going to push you to be YOUR best! Play up in your relationships… invest your time in those that PUSH you! Winners love to see others win!
I guess the only thing I would add – is people who care about you, truly care ….will want you to be happy – and they will love to see you happy.
Yes, universe…I hear you. No more investment.
I am truly done.

(1989-92)Rolf Einar Larsen: Voice.
Trond Nørbech: Beat.
Tor Helge "Tømme" Kvamme: Bass.
Anders Wimpelman: Guitar and backing vocals.
What rose from the ashes of my very first band, the previously posted BELSENFANGAN, was a brand new project featuring 3/4 of the members. I picked up the guitar instead of the microphone, and we got our friend Rolf Einar, a fellow punk enthusiast, in to take care of my former job.
While ´FANGAN was well rooted in a original ´77 punk tradition, ROLF EINARS DATATIPS, as we unpretentiously dubbed the new project, sought out to find a bit more updated style of punk. Personally, my taste of punk at that time revolved around the second generation of UK punk rock, theCRASS, CONFLICT, SUBHUMANS, DISCHARGE, VICE SQUAD, ENGLISH DOGS, CHAOS UK etc, though it slowly drifted further into faster, more aggressive stuff; from DISORDER, ELECTRO HIPPIES, INFEST, MINOR THREAT, VOID, THE FAITH, IRON CROSS, YOUTH BRIGADE to a lot of grind core, NAPALM DEATH, S.O.B, SORE THROAT, INTENSE DEGREE, EXTREME NOISE TERROR and HERESEY, as well as some crossover stuff, D.R.I, THE STUPIDS, ADRENALIN O.D, THE ACCUSED, CORROSION OF CONFORMITY, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, S.O.D, VERBAL ABUSE and late AGNOSTIC FRONT. Needless to say, we were also into all varieties of metal at the time, especially SLAYER, POSSESSED, DEATH, SODOM, TESTAMENT, EXODUS, CARCASS, CADAVER, ANTHRAX, CELTIC FROST and KREATOR.
I remember all of us being heavily into the Scum album by NAPALM DEATH, and thus we were aspired to turn up the tempo as well as distortion and the general level of noise. Some of us were newborn anarchists at the time, replacing the pure nihilism of ´77 with a growing political correctness. As the one responsible for all of the lyrics, I took a lot of cues from CRASS, anti-religion, anti-authority,anti-corporate, as well as traditional 80s hardcore punk sloganism, typically promoting an anti-fascist message. The lyrics were in the native Norwegian, and my attention thus also turned towards the many great 1st and 2nd generation Norwegian HC punk, BETONGHYSTERIA, SVART FRAMTID, FADER WAR, KAFKA PROCESS, BANNLYST, BARN AV REGNBUEN, SO MUCH HATE, STENGTE DØRER.
I never spent much time on the lyrics, I picked up a theme, chewed on it for some minutes, and then I wrote the whole lyrical piece, in top 5 minutes. This is indeed VERY easy to spot, in very premature rhetorical as well as logical state lines, I m close to feeling a slight tough of shame when hearing it today, but for fucks sake, I was only 16 and unfortunately by no means Arthur Rimbaud.All songs were written on a shitty acoustic guitar with only 2 strings on, all of the keys were totally smashed and fucked up, so this condition was permanent. Nevertheless, I managed to write enough material for our first DIY demo, "Kjellerhits", released in 300 ex. I seem to recall the the track list being:
"KJELLERHITS" "demo late 1990
( Recorded early January 1990 on a shitty portable studio.) 300 copies.
"Du Tar Feil".
"Æ lille".
"Sucks" (CRASS).
"Øl & Rock".
We continued rehearsing as much as we could, slowly improving our technical skills, and after some months I had penned some new numbers, as well as incorporating more cover tracks as well to the repertoire:
ROLF EINARS DATATIPS live demo 1991( Recorded early January 1991, live in the studio of TV Nordvest )
"Du Tar Feil"
"Æ lille".
"Gi Faen I Militæret"
"Carl Ivar"
"Pop""Øl & Rock"
Other tracks we did before the final break up in 1992 were:
"Ett Nytt Og Bedre Liv" (KJØTT)
"Sucks" (CRASS)
"Violent Pacification" (D.R.I)
"My Rules" (VOID)
"Slaughterhouse" (BODY COUNT)
"Snuten Kommer" (BETONGHYSTERIA)
"Willy Er Et Svin" (VILLSVIN)
In February 1990, perhaps as a result of our a bit aggressive way of promoting the poor 300 copies of the demo, we practically forced it on every poor bastard we knew, we were asked to do a live show on this rather corny TV show (the infamous TV Nordvest, but we were of course kind of flattered to get over an hours playtime, and at the same time we knew that if we did a fairly good show, borrowing all the equipment from the TV station(especially their quite expensive PA, we could get lucky recording a new live demo tape, sounding a hell lot better that the first. Later we send the final result to a National Radio show, reviewing demo tapes from all corners of the land. I seem to recall the verdict was way better than we expected.
We never did that many shows, I guess we played 3-4 in CHRISTIANSIN in the period ´90-92, as well as a show at Kulturelt Alternativ in Molde, together with some local punk and HC outfits, like ÅNDELITEN and GOLF CLAP. ROLF EINARS DATATIPS disbanded early Spring 92,, due to the fact that Rolf Einar broke the oath about never joining the army ("Fuck The Army") and went out of town for a long time. I was already fed up with the proto punk sentiment, the whole goddamn package in style, attitude, behavior and jargon. It claims to cherish the value of non conformity and individual thinking, though at the age of 17 I somehow felt tied to a sub cultural straitjacket that defined and dictated every inch of your life, the life in flesh as well as the universe of thought and emotional stature. Why the fuck should I stick to anarcho punk, reading Direkt Action and Mikhail Bakunin, drinking carrot juice, ban the use of soap thinking the body eventually will "start to clean itself" and only listen to bona fide underground crust when the world had so much more in store?
So I flee the anarcho camp, step by step, by the fall of 1990. I guess the process already started the day I bought the "In My Eyes" 12" (MINOR THREAT), the "We´re Not In This Alone" album by YOUTH OF TODAY and the "Built To Last" album of HOGANS HEROES. Then I got more and more into vegetarianism and finally, initiated by a concert at Kult Alt Molde the 27th of December 1990, with ONWARD, INVERT and LAST STRAW, I turned straight edge and changed out my entire wardrobe, kind of. I bought myself a pretty crappy GIBSON Les Paul and the recruited some natural born talents of the skateboard crowd in CHRISTIANSIN, converted all of them to both vegetarianism, straight edge and HC, and then formed an entire new band…
Me and Trond continued to play together in the indie rock project BIRDY NAM NAM, but that s another post.

With the rapidly increasing popularity of oils and concentrates it is only natural that there be products coming out daily to help you make the process of vaporizing your essential oils and botanical concentrates easier. Much easier.
SLiK non STiK Concentrate Jars
These handy jars by SToK USA are the perfect storage solution for all your concentrates. Instead of storing them in a glass or plastic jar where a large portion can go to waste, no matter how hard you poke and scratch at it, you have these food grade silicone jars that are just as advertised, not allowing your material to stick to the surface at all.
Even better, if you have multiple types of material and can't afford to have them mixed, these jars are modular, allowing you to stack them on top of each other, with each having a different color so you don't get them mixed up. They come in a 4 set of mini jars with a free poker and individual larger jars also with a free poker.
Mystic Timber Dabbers
A dabber is a dabber, right? Simple, straight forward, not much customization available. Wrong. Mystic Timber makes a super high quality grade 2 titanium dabber with hand made wooden handle crafted in the USA from exotic Ecuadorian wood, with each having its own beautiful and unique design.
Like a well crafted medieval sword, the Mystic Timber dabbers have a perfect balance between handle and dabber, allowing a fluid use with its ergonomic grooves crafted right into the wood. With both the pocket dabber at about 4″ and the midi dabber at about 6″ you have a dabber for any situation.
Oil Slick Pads and Slick Balls
When working with your stickier material you can't always take it straight from your storage jar to your vape. That's where these handy non-stick oil pads come in. Coming in either the larger size measuring 8.5″ by 11.8″ or a duo pack that has two pads measuring 3.25″ by 4.5″, you have options depending on what surface you are using whether it be a big table or a smaller end table.
The oil slick balls and stacks are similar to the SLiK non STiK, being made of food grade silicone and the balls have no corners allowing your material to be scooped out with the greatest of ease. Whether you get the more traditional stack jars or the oil slick balls, they all come with a nice air tight jar that you can use for your material that doesn't need the non-stick surface.
Of course all these storage options aren't going to do you any good if you don't have a vape to use them with! The Cloud Pen offers some nice features over vapes similar to it, such as a micro USB charging port, the same charger most smart phones use. And the included dabber is one of the best we've seen come with a vape out of the box.
When it comes to customization, it's hard to top the Cloud Penz. Coming in a staggering amount of color options you are sure to find one you'll fall in love with. They already have 10+ color options and are constantly adding more.
These are just a hand full of the numerous concentrate tools we have available at EZVapes, with more being released daily you can be sure we'll be on top of them all.

For whom the funds toll
Dear Heloise:
Here's a hint about how much money raised by a fundraiser goes to the charity:
I got a call from a cancer fundraiser and asked what percentage of my donation would go to the actual cancer patient. They said the fundraisers get the top, and when everything is paid, the cancer patient would get about 5 to 51/2 percent of the total money raised.
In other words, my donation would be paying the callers for their work, but very little really helps those who are suffering.
Mary S., via email
Oh yes, the "never heard from them before" charity calls! My take? If you know the group, have donated to them and feel comfortable, then maybe yes, maybe no. Most "cold calls" you receive are just as you stated - you don't really know us, but we know you and are asking for money.
Frankly, I'm shocked the person told you the real amount that actually goes to the charity! Good question to ask upfront. If you don't get an answer, hang up!
Worthwhile charity groups will be honest. Donate to ones you know and can trust. They are the good guys. Hugs to The good guys and gals!
P.S.: Many charities have similar-sounding names, so be sure it's the one you want to help. Tell them you need to call back - what number can they provide? Probably none!
Dear Heloise:
Those thin plastic bags at the grocery store can be impossible to open. My husband came up with a solution: Take a handy "wipe" provided at the store and wrap around the cart handle. When you need to open a bag, wet your fingers on the wipe, and the bag opens.

Dear Heloise:
I cut the bottom off a gallon plastic milk jug and use it to scoop birdseed. One scoop fills my bird feeder. To fill the thistle feeder, I take off the cap and use it as a funnel.

"On this day in 1965, 600 Americans tried to march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama in a peaceful protest for voting rights—but they were brutally attacked by state troopers with billy clubs and tear gas. In 2013, thousands of citizens re-creating the Bloody Sunday march were joined by the Vice President of the United States, who crossed the bridge arm-in-arm with Rep. John Lewis and others who led the fight for voting rights. We've made a tremendous amount of progress in 48 years. But even in 2013, the fight continues."

Starship Rock 69 and a ½:
A Tale of Romance and Rock that Echoes Eternally
Throughout the Cosmos so Epically
it Could Only be Properly Represented by Having
the Book that Contains it Have the Most Impossibly
Lengthy Title in the History of Publications and
Quite Possibly the World, Though That is a Stretch as
There Might be a Longer Title Out There Somewhere.
I Mean There's No Real Way to Know for Sure but
I Can Say That I am at Least 99% Certain
This is the Longest Title Ever; However,
Should That Lingering 1% of Uncertainty Become
A Reality I Would Hope That at Least this Title
Proudly Achieves Second Place for Longest Book
Title Ever, Though I would be Loathe to Lose as
Second Place is Merely the First to Lose. Therefore,
In the Event That a Longer Title is Discovered I would
Call Upon You, Dear Readers, to Buy Every Copy of
the Book with the Longest Title Ever and Burn it so
That I Alone Remain at the Apex of Title Lengthyness
By, Hopefully, a Wide Margin.

Sir Dudelicious McAwesome Xtreme Esquire the Fourth
Co-written by:
Your mother.
Space Cowboy
"Ah piece of crap!" Dudelicious slammed his fist on the navigation controller on his ship's console. "What'd I pay those mooks at the shipyard for if they just give me mars-market parts!" The console flashed some lights and a projection of a professional looking woman's face blocked his view of the stars.
"Sir, you know hitting my buttons only makes me want to turn off the ships gravity and spin you like a laundry dryer." The robotic voice issued this threat with the utmost pleasantry.
"What a load of crap, I thought they turned off your adaptive intelligence after you though you was my girlfriend last time! Don't you threaten me you junky ship, it's your fault I'm running behind schedule, toss me around like last time and I swear I'll haul you in and sell you for scrap." Dudelicious shook his fist defiantly at the smiling face, then made sure to comb his hair back just in case it got messed up while he was yelling.
The face was smiling, but the tone changed slightly. "Very well sir, in light of what you have just said I'll refrain from getting angry. Oh and sir?"
Dudelicious leaned back into his pilots seat and sighed while rubbing his temples, he was after all still hung over. "Yeah, what is it? You gonna tell me you finally figured out a flight path to our next stop that won't send us into a black hole or a damn asteroid field? I still don't see how in the vast void of space we couldn't go around those things last time."
"No sir, I was gonna tell you that when I said I wasn't going to get angry I was lying."
Dudelicious bolted upright in his seat, "Don't you dar–!" but was cut off as the gravity gave out, for some reason sending him head first into the ceiling. He let loose a stream of very impolite words and phrases as the small ship began to spin wildly, sending him bouncing around in the cabin like, well, like clothes in a dryer.
"Oh that's it you messed up my doo!" As the steering wheel struck him square on the forehead and he started to slip into unconsciousness he thought to himself: I really need a new gig.
* * *
While Dudelicious is unconscious perhaps now would be a good time to describe this man for you. You see, Dudelicious' real name is actually Dudelicious. He had a legal name change, his was a built man, tall, with Brown hair slicked back in a, dare I say, bitchin' pompadour. Dudelicious liked to wear suits, but he hated ties, yet wore them loosely. He often said you can't wear a suit without a tie. He also wore shades, the old Air Force pilot kind. Yes he even wore them at night, though in space it pretty much always was night. The lenses had some fancy nano-tech in them… high grade stuff, could only get it on the military surplus black market, and that place was a hell-hole if there ever was one. Dudelicious had a sort of conservative flair to him, an aesthetic that wasn't offensive yet was unique. His slacks were smart, his belt buckle was pure silver and had a clip in the side that you could slide a travel-comb into. His shoes were simple black boots with a flame pattern on them.
How he came to end up in this time is yet another long tail, but suffice to say there are many layers to this man and I doubt he'd like it very much if I up and told you all his secrets right now. Sorry, you'll have to wait for a convenient moment in the story for it to come up to find out more.
Though it may not harm things too much if I inform you that Dudelicious' current career involves a little bit of smuggling, a little bit of scrap collecting, and a little bit of dealing with crazy computers with bad personalities.
* * *
White light flooded Dudelicious' vision. For several seconds he laid still until the white light began to fade. "Where am I?" He tried to sit up but the straps saw to it that he wouldn't. He turns his head to the side and saw something that, for most people, they would see only on the worst trips of Star Dust. A multi tentacled blob monster with a blonde wig on was prepping a syringe. "Oh! Hey honey I don't know what I said I was into when I was drunk, but you're definitely not it. You mind unstrapping me now so I can get outta here?"
"Afraid it's not that simple Mr…" She, well, it… picked up a chart from a nearby counter top. "Dudelicious." The reason Dudelicious first thought She was that it's voice sounded very feminine and attractive. Though he was still strapped in his shades were not removed, the nanos were seeing them. He realized this poor woman was just a puppet, he thought to himself 'filter five' and the tentacle moster was detached from the nurse who was actually a very attractive female and who apparently liked to wear black lace. "Hey sorry bout before you's alright lookin'. Nice underwear, very kink."
The nurse turned around, blushing. The view showed him two things, that the being who was tethered to her consciousness was asleep at the moment and that the nurses emotional state was apprehensive. The creature was controlling her only in mind, not body though judging by her taste in underwear the creature was also giving himself a show. Dudelicious analyzed the situation and figured he might be able to talk her down while her master was asleep.
"Listen honey, before you stick me with that needle and leave the room to let your buddies do whatever science juju on me let me offer my services." With a flick of his wrist a business card
"Sir, I hardly think you have anything I want." Emotion indicator, she was lying. She was practically begging for help according to his shades.
"Right babe, sure I can't. Listen, unstrap me don't think about it, think of anything else. They can read your thoughts that's how they know what you're up to, just think about injecting me while you loosen these up a bit I know how to free you." She was attracted to him, he could tell… perhaps it was that base human desire that convinced her to listen. Perhaps it was an offer of being free from one of their kind. Either way she loosened the straps with one hand while clutching the needle with the other, he hand visibly shaking.
"Keep thinking about it, whatever it is." Dudelicious said to her as he got himself free and out of the bed. The room he was in was white walled, with monitors on one side, and a counter that ran lengthwise across the opposite side of the room. Several microscopes and a clipboard with a chart laid on the counter. Above the bed were lights and well as some rather nasty looking probes. Whatever they were gonna do to him, he was thankful he wouldn't have to find out, he was also thankful they had a sexy nurse instead of one of those gruff male types that wouldn't have given him half a chance before they stuck him with whatever it was.
Dudelicious fumbled in his pockets for a second and produced a match, "Okay honey now think as hard as you can that you just let a dangerous prisoner free."
She closed her eyes and for a second nothing happened, then just like Dudelicious predicted a rift tore open behind her, they didn't like it when you disobeyed their edicts. A tentacle shot out going for the poor nurses legs, probably to pull her into their home in the 5th Dimension. Dudelicious acted fast grabbing the nurse around the waist with one hand while tossing the match into the rift. Then he rolled over the bed with our nurse friend in tow as a column of flame shot out from the open portal then suddenly closed. For a second they both were still the nurse's eyes rolled back into her head. Damsel's in distress weren't typically Dudelicious' style; or so he said, but when the damsel in question is really really hot he tended to make exceptions… quite often.
"How did you know?" She asked, in half amazement.
He tapped his shades. "Nanotech and sensors built into the lenses and frames. Custom, but based on military technology." Dudelicious made an educated guess suddenly. "Your technology?"
She looked him in the eye. "Yeah, we're military… picked you up off the rings of Saturn being spun around in your ship. They told us you'd be there." She paused for a moment, in thought. "That's all I know."
"You wanna know how I torched that mook eh? Heebie jeebies straight outta Capitan Atom comics. They need to stay in the 5th dimension to puppet you. That's the trick ta takin em out. The 5th dimension has some interesting properties, but it is a stable dimension. Introduce a lil bit of chaos. Introduce an unstable element… some gunpowder, loud music n' all that and it's potential, now dig this and pay attention cuz it may save yo life again one day, it's potential energy is increased one thousand fold and it's stability is reduced one thousand fold. Turns a match into a nuke."
The sound of heavy boots started to approach the room from somewhere off in one of the adjacent hallways. "Listen babe, you can either bail this scene with me or youse and take yo chances with your friends, capeiche?"
Mrs. Nurse nodded, and Dudelicious produced a butterfly knife. Things were about to get interesting…
* * *
…which is exactly while we will cut away for now.
Capitan Rockbring stood over the command deck of Starship Rock and addressed his second in command. "Rock Whore, get off that crew member and get your round shapely perfectly formed ass over here right now so I can talk into your boobs as though it were your face." Rockbring really was saying, Rock Whore, get your ass over here and quit humping the crew mates so I can go over our attack plans with you. You couldn't talk to her without acknowledging her looks, side effects from the hyperspace incident. Made him wonder why he appointed her second in command in the first place, after Quasar left that is. He pushed those thoughts aside, lingering on failures will only drag you down he thought. He also wondered how he would stare at her boobs when he cannot see, perhaps he'll have to resort into sensing her tit's aura, again.
That's right, Rockbring cannot see, for he is very blind. During a particularly bad bender brought on by being slipped alcohol laced with some space cocaine, often referred to as 'the spice.' The combination of being exposed to prolonged hyperspace travel and psychotropic drugs shut down his vision receptors in his brain but he was gifted at that moment to be able to see a person's aura. Their energy, and wither they are good, bad or neutral. He can also detect the person's potential to rock, and that is how he has selected his first two band mates to join his crew and bring the gift of rock music across the universe. He wore a suit All located aboard the finest star cruiser/concert hall/space colony, known as The Starship Rock 69 and a ½. The name was written along the side of the ship in giant electric neon letters, as a matter of fact.
Rock Whore approached the Captain, "Yes what can I do for you today honey?" She said as she began to grind on him.
"Dammit woman, you don't need to seduce me, we're on the same side!" He released a defeated sigh as she continued her grinding undaunted. "Anyway, we're going to be deploying the Amplifier ships around the perimeter of the imperial cruiser, then I'll have you hook up your guitar and use noise suppression on the occupants. Be sure to set it for their frequency, we don't want to harm anyone they might have imprisoned on-board."
While grinding rock whore hiked up her mini-skirt a little and said, "why are we deploying to this ship anyway, what makes this ship so special?"
"The man who will become our bassist is on that ship, I can sense it."
Dramatic pause.
* * *
Dudelicious removed the blade of his knife from the eye of the last guardsman aboard the ship that was still alive. He was standing in the hanger on top of a pile of dead bodies and robots wit a cigar in his mouth, and the hot nurse pressed close against him. He was holding a knife in one hand and a pulse rifle in the other. "Man that was wild babe, you shoulda told me your pals like to party hard."
She slapped the cigar out of his mouth and as they kissed the fire in the hanger raged and the flames ignited the fuel tanks of the ships docked there causing a domino effect of explosions all the way down to the end. Just when it looked like the fighting was over, the cyborg samurai dropped down from the ceiling, they had been waiting for his guard to be down and they were ready to dish out some serious highly choreographed fighting techniques on Dudelicious. Really it is not as interesting as it sounds so back to Rockbring…
* * *
Rockbring held up his microphone / baton as he walked across his ship's deployment docks. His gold-trimmed and white colored marching band outfit contrasting his dark skin. He walked with an almost robotic precision, pointing this way and that. With each wave of his baton ships deployed, armed themselves, or were being boarded by their pilots.
He addressed a small squad of his finest. "Men, women, creatures of ghastly origin and appearance. Today is the day that the Starship Rock's band becomes complete. Through time and space our target has traveled, though he is unaware of the significance of this in time I am sure he will. People, board that ship, show no mercy, show only your fury and rock spirit. Wail on your cosmic guitar guns and scramble their brains like so much fondue!"
A raised hand. "Sir, you don't scramble fondue."
"Well you don't."
"Anyway, go forth my finest and set the stage for us to be able to finally oppose them openly! Carpe Diem!"
In unison the squad let loose a "Hurrah!" Except one young polet in the back who seemed to have fallen asleep. At least until he moaned and Rock Whore stood up from his lap and looked around at all the people staring at her and let loose a timid… "hurrah?"
* * *
Dudelicious looked over the carnage he had unleashed in the hanger, the cyborg samurais were little more then piles of molten steel and flesh. Dudelicious used the pilot light on the tip of the flamethrower he was holding to light a cigar in his mouth. His sexy nurse sidekick's outfit was torn turning her long nurses outfit into a mini-skirt with a tattered v-neck. She was swooning, "you're so… Dudelicious." She said. "I mean, it just rolls off the tongue so well. Duddddeeeeeeliiiiiciouuuusssss."
Dudelicious didn't normally smoke except for dramatic effect. He looked over at his new side-kick. "Babe, you know I can't be saving you all the ti–."
A cyborg samurai that was still alive jumped up behind her. In a blur she turned and palm struck it in the face, it's mask shattering with a vicious sounding crack. "Raaaaah!" She then unleashed a devastating high-low sidekick combo and followed it up by a spinning hook kick completely severing it's head from it's body.
She was panting, her body shuddering with intensity. "Whoa babe!" Said Dudelicious. "That was friggin rockin' you totally deep sixed that mook. Why didn't you do that before?"
"Cuz you were havin so much fun playing the big strong hero. It was getting me hot. I just did that to show you that I'm tougher than I look."
"Point taken."
A loud grinding noise came from far off in the hanger and became a steady thud-thud-thud as the sound slowly approached their position. "Aw man, don't tell me…" Dudelicious sighed.
"I guess you've made enough trouble they let loose the Caskets."
Dudelicious threw the flame thrower aside, knowing it was going to be useless against their next opponents. Anyway, back to Rockbring….
* * *
Rockbring's men had already established a perimeter and were currently using magnetics to attach their amp ships around the imperial ship. Rock Whore's floating sound stage was in tow. Rockbring's personal star fighter was hanging back, for command purposes. He pressed a button on his console and a holograph display of Rock Whore's cabin popped up in front of him. Holographs worked great for him as it was much easier to sense the energy patterns and see what was on the screen with his minds eye. He hated vintage projection screens and especially the old CRT units, couldn't see shit.
"Rock Whore! Your steering rod is not supposed to go in there!"
"Sorry Sir."
Rockbring released yet another defeated sigh as she continued undaunted. "Anyway, you ready to go? We've got our men poised to take the docks, that fire that I can see raging in there has me concerned for our new friend."
"I can see that sir, and yes" deep moans "I'm ready anytime, wait, give me a second." CENSORED. "Okay now I'm ready."
"Okay, get on stage and jam. I hope your sound is enough. Rocker 69 seems to be passed out after a long night of worshiping his 'dark lord'."
Rock Whore laughed, "ha-ha! You mean he's passed out in a cookie and fruit punch induced coma! That guy's such a lightweight. Okay… I've got my cockpit sound stage set-up," She produced a totally awesome guitar in the shape of a purple lightning bolt. "Switch me to all amp channels and I'll let 'er rip."
* * *
Dudelicious fired five rockets from his shoulder mounted rocket launchers on his mech suit. The sexy Nurse's clothing was even more tattered and now she was basically in her black lace underwear complete with fishnets and a garter belt. She was sitting on one of the rocket pods on top of the mech suit Dudelicious had hijacked and was now piloting. Around him in a semi-circle were smashed mech suits with brains and green ooze leaking out from the holes he perforated in them with his chain gun arm.
"Wow …. Dudelicious, you're like some kind of Space Cowboy."
Dudelicious thought about this for a moment, then decided to stick to the old adage, never turn down a complement.
"Yes babe, yes I am."

Church Under the Bridge - a ministry to the Austin street people
Church Under the Bridge is one of several missions by Mission Possible Austin in East Austin. Every Sunday, rain or shine, hot or cold, they set up in a city parking lot under the I-35 overpass bridge in downtown Austin between 7th & 8th Streets. Other cities also have a similar Church Under the Bridge program, Waco being one. About 200+ street people show up. (It is estimated there are about 6,000 homeless people in Austin.) Various churches bring food on a rotating basis. RHCC financially supports Mission Possible Austin and takes used clothing and toiletries several times a year.
How often does RHCC go to the bridge?
There is no regular schedule. We go when enough donated clothing comes in to make the 36 mile trip worthwhile. We typically leave about 8 am Sunday morning from the Fellowship Hall parking lot in the church van and return before noon. Trips are announced a week or two in advance in the church newsletter.
Who can go?
Everyone is welcome to come and see what goes on under the bridge.
How can I help?
Bring clothing! (see below)
Collect hotel toiletries.
Help sort bags of clothing and prepare it for loading on the church van. It takes 5-7 people a couple hours to sort and prepare all the items.
Cash! More finances will enable us to purchase backpacks and other items that are not often donated.
What do the street people need? (See Winter Wish List Below)
First, what they don't need: Winter clothing in the summer and vice versa.
------- Please do not bring clothing inappropriate for the season at hand -------
because they can't use it and we can't store it. Please don't bring stained or dirty clothing. Street people cannot use dress clothing or dress shoes.
Men's and Women's Clothing: gently used and CLEAN.
Shirts and pants, esp. Jeans.
Undergarments. Bras, gently used
Socks, Socks, SOCKS!
SMALL Personal care items: toothbrush and toothpaste, hand lotion, sunscreen, shampoo and conditioner, fingernail clippers, ink pen, comb & brush, handkerchief,
SMALL Bible and books, crossword and search word books, small puzzles, playing cards.
Hats & ball caps
Gallon sealable bags
Roll of trash bags
Candy - individually wrapped
Pillows & cases
Cotton gloves (in cold weather)
Feminine products
Wash cloth and small towel
Winter Wish List
Why do we do this?
Jesus went to the poor with love and healing. Following Jesus leads us to care for the poor, to share our blessings with others who need some help.
How much does this really help the homeless?
Our donations help a few people get along for a few days. What they really need is shelter and help to get back into society. In the meantime, at least they will know that we care and maybe sense God's love.
