Before The Programming Broke Down...
The ordeal began when she terrified staff by writing the number of the beast on her head and running around the clinic screaming, "I am the anti-christ!"
"The clinic people just didn't know what to do," a friend claimed.
The pop star then tried to hang herself with a bedsheet was but was found before she could hurt herself.
Spears, who hid her recently-sheared head under a brown wig and hat when she left Malibu's Promises treatment centre to attend an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, shocked onlookers by revealing the strange doodles all over the backs of her hands.
Flowers and the word Push could be made out among the scribbles.
Britneys Tattoos
Her foot tattoo, tattooed in NY in the summer of 2004, is of a kanji for "freedom" with a vine and butterfly added around it. She got it to symbolize that she was "free as a butterfly" but really, was she living her life freely at the time? Given the amount of handlers and managers in her life, I'm guessing she was yearning more for a free life and not really living it
Britney With Monarch Butterfly
Monarch Butterfly
Here Is A Small List Of Other Divas (Princess Altars)
With Butterfly Tattoos
* Drew Barrymore: has one on her abdomen, right under her belly button.
* Maria Carey: has a lower back butterfly tattoo (fake or not?).
* Paris Hilton: has a small butterfly tattoo on her back (could be temporary).
* Kelis: has a butterfly on her stomach.
* Dolly Parton: country star with a flutterby on her chest.
* Julia Roberts: has a lower back butterfly.
* Britney Spears: has a butterfly tattoo on her left foot.
The Monarch Butterfly Also Turns Up In Taxi Driver
The Monarch butterfly is also represented by Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver in the very scene where she is specifically linking herself to the other sugar-loving lolitas.

"The Greenbaum Speech"
Hypnosis in MPD: Ritual Abuse - D. C. Hammond Ph.D.
Herein is the lecture by D. C. Hammond, originally entitled "Hypnosis in MPD: Ritual Abuse," but now usually known as the "Greenbaum Speech," delivered at the Fourth Annual Eastern Regional Conference on Abuse and Multiple Personality, Thursday June 25, 1992, at the Radisson Plaza Hotel, Mark Center, Alexandria, Virginia. Sponsored by the Center for Abuse Recovery & Empowerment, The Psychiatric Institute of Washington, D.C. Both a tape and a transcript were at one time available from Audio Transcripts of Alexandria, Virginia (800-338-2111). Tapes and transcripts of other sessions from the conference are still being sold but -- understandably -- not this one. The transcript below was made from a privately made tape of the original lecture.
The single most remarklable thing about this speech is how little one has heard of it in the two years since its original delivery. It is recommended that one reads far enough at least until one finds why it's called "the Greenbaum speech."
and the following interview
great post cheeb, also note how they only show us one eye of De Niro on the Taxi driver Cover.
nuclear bomb reference to MK trauma programming. There is nuclear
bomb footage throughout the Nirvana France Farmer video.
Maybe they used the threat of nuclear war as a trauma trigger in projects
like Frances Farmer and Anna Nicole Smith? Its just such a coincidence
that Cheeb mentioned it so recently in association with another mk project
and I see it here now. There are also mushroom clouds on the Tommy Pinball machine.
I also saw a lot of scenes referring to trauma of sleeping women, sleep walking, hanging,
monsters etc.
ok, *thinks* the diff here is, that you are far more aware of the 'bigger triggers' (general population targets) than I am, as in, world influence as opposed to indivdual trauma meanings to those who are MC survivors. All the references to weather / storm / violence / nuclear are also used to 're-build' Internal landscapes / minds eye cinema 'views'

I suspect it may have formed some bond between them. But he saved his skin by collaborating and being an assistant to them in the death-camp experiments. They brought him with them. They started doing mind-control research for Military Intelligence in military hospitals in the United States. The people that came, the Nazi doctors, were Satanists. Subsequently, the boy changed his name, Americanized it some, obtained an M.D. degree, became a physician and continued this work that appears to be at the center of Cult Programming today. His name is known to patients throughout the country...

Haim Blames Addiction On Abuse
Eighties child star Corey Haim has blamed his addiction to alcohol on being sexually abused as a child.
Haim and Corey Feldman both admitted they had been molested by different men when they were just 14 on a recent episode of their U.S. reality TV show Two Coreys.
And Haim - who claims he has been sober for 10 months - says the abuse led him to a battle with alcohol and has accused Feldman of failing to support him.
He says, "(Feldman) said to me, 'I'll always have your back.' But he knew there was a rape issue going on with me for about two years, and what did he do about it? Nothing."
But Feldman says Haim is playing the "blame game" and refuses to speak to him until he sobers up.
He tells People.com, "As a friend and somebody that cares deeply about the guy, I'm not going to watch him destroy himself.
"I think that he needs to demonise somebody. As a 14-year-old, how could I be responsible for actions that happened between him and another person?"
Britney Spears went to a hair salon called ' Esthers ' ( owned by Esther Tognozzi ) on 16th February 2007 and shaved off her own hair with an electric shaver.
' Esther ' is of course Madonna's Kabbala name.
Its my belief that Britney was making a direct statement to Madonna , saying that she didn't belong to her anymore.
Britney also has had the Kabbala tattoo she had done in 2004 removed from the nape of her neck.

The reference to "The Catcher in the Rye" was taken from real life, for Mark David Chapman, the assassin of ex-Beatle John Lennon, had a paperback edition of the book in his possession when the police arrived and found him standing "very calmly"– as if he too was a mind-controlled assassin, having completed his task, and now aimlessly standing about, waiting to be arrested as the "lone gunman"? But Chapman was not alone: John Hinckley was also reported to have been obsessed with the book and as both "lone gunmen" were considered by some to be coming of the MK-ULTRA robotic assassin production line, the book was soon interpreted as a "driver" in their mind control
As to Hinckley: he claimed that he had repeatedly watched the 1976 movie Taxi Driver, in which a disturbed man plots to assassinate a presidential candidate – a story in line with The Manchurian Candidate, which has similar themes of MK-ULTRA worked into it. The disturbed man in Taxi Driver was inspired by real-life would-be assassin Arthur Herman Bremer, who shot US Democratic presidential candidate George Wallace on May 15, 1972 in Laurel, Maryland, leaving him paralyzed for life – and in practice guaranteeing the re-election of Richard Nixon for his ill-fated second term..
Notice The Butterfly Motif,
On The Microphone
Hollywood Pay Very Close Attention To Detail...
That same obsession is found between Hinckley and Jodie Foster. When Foster entered Yale University, Hinckley moved to New Haven, Connecticut to be nearer to her, slipping poems and messages under her door and repeatedly contacting her by telephone. Failing to develop any meaningful contact with her, he developed such plots as hijacking an airplane and committing suicide in front of her in order to gain her attention. Eventually he settled on a scheme to win her over by assassinating the president, on the theory that by becoming a historical figure, he would be her equal. It sounds mad, but then we are assumed to believe he was mad, so… He trailed then-president Jimmy Carter from state to state, but was arrested in Nashville, Tennessee on a firearms charge. Penniless, he returned home and despite psychiatric treatment for depression, his mental health did not improve. In 1981, he began to target the new president, Ronald Reagan, and apparently began to collect information on Lee Harvey Oswald, whom he saw as a role model. Of course, that's the official version and there are several conspiracy theories, one, as mentioned, asking whether Hinckley was a robotic assassin…
Arthur Bremner
The attempted assassin of Governor George Wallace of Alabama was described
in the media as a deranged loner, but he wasn't alone at all if you count
the involvement of the CIA and the Nixon/Watergate "plumbers" who figure
prominently in this case. (It has been suggested that George Wallace's
political campaign could potentially have taken too many votes away from
rival presidential candidate Richard Nixon if Wallace was allowed to stay in
the presidential race. He was conveniently eliminated by Arthur Bremer).
On Monday, May 15, 1972, Bremer attempted to assassinate George Wallace at a
campaign rally in Laurel, Maryland. According to researchers, within one
hour after the Wallace shooting, Nixon aide Charles Colson, having invented
a ruse to place blame for the shooting on radical extremists of the left
wing, ordered Watergate "plumber" E. Howard Hunt to break into Bremer's
apartment and plant Black Panther and Angela Davis literature there.
(Bremer, however, had political convictions leaning towards the extreme
right. None other than George Wallace himself stated that he wondered how
members of Nixon's staff had found Bremer's apartment so quickly after the
But this "loner" actually had quite a few friends. One of these friends,
Dennis Cassini, turned up mysteriously dead in the trunk of his own car
before he could be questioned. The FBI didn't even bother to investigate
his death. According to The Milwaukee Journal: "The former Wisconsin College
Republican State Chairman said (that) Donald Segretti, confessed political
spy and Republican saboteur in the 1972 presidential campaign, urged him to
recruit persons in Wisconsin to do dirty tricks to embarrass the Democrats."
Arthur Bremer was from Milwaukee. Records show that Bremer traveled
extensively while stalking Wallace on his campaign trail, staying in
expensive hotels, running up debts totaling $5,000 dollars, which he paid.
Quite unusual for a busboy whose total earnings were under $2,000 dollars
for the entire year. Bremer was also identified prior to the assassination
as the man seen accompanying Watergate-operative Anthony Ulasewicz in
Michigan. (The personality revealed by Bremer's diary was used as a source
for the character of Travis Bickle in the original screenplay of the movie
Taxi Driver, which would, curiously, later drive John Hinckley in his own
presidential assassination attempt).
Bremer was sentenced to 63 years in prison and has never given any
explanation as to why he shot Wallace.
Mark David Chapman
Yet another "lone nut" assassin who killed "leftist" John Lennon in New York
City on December 8, 1980.
Chapman had possible ties to the CIA as a former World Vision Employee.
(World Vision Missionaries is an "international evangelical order" that has
performed espionage work for CIA). Allegedly, while working for World
Vision, Chapman was trained in terrorist infested, war-torn Beruit as a
"security guard".
Less than four months before John Hinckley Jr. attempted to gun down Reagan,
Chapman shot and killed John Lennon in what may have been a practice run for
Hinckley's later assassination attempt on Reagan.
After shooting Lennon, Chapman sat down and calmly began reading from The
Catcher in the Rye, a novel by J.D. Salinger. (Interestingly, J.D. Salinger,
author of "Catcher" served in the Counter Intelligence Corps during WWII
with Henry Kissinger. Others have theorized that this book served as some
sort of post-hypnotic suggestion or program "trigger"). Chapman himself
claims that he killed Lennon to promote the reading of "Catcher in the Rye,"
yet according to those who knew him, Chapman never exhibited strong feeling
about the book until just prior to the shooting.

Salvadore Dali-In Voluptate Mors
Like Mark David Chapman, John Hinckley, Jr. also had a copy of Catcher in
the Rye in his possession when apprehended. According to official reports,
Hinckley was also heavily "influenced" by the Travis Bickle character from
the Martin Scorcese film Taxi Driver. (In this film, Robert DeNiro plays an
obsessed gunman who plans to assassinate a presidential candidate, a
character that was inspired by Arthur Bremer's personal diary).
Like Arthur Bremer, Hinckley traveled extensively around the U.S., and prior
to his assassination attempt on Reagan, was arrested at the airport in
Nashville, Tennessee with three handguns. Curiously, Hinckley was not placed
under any surveillance after this incident. And in emulation of both Sirhan
Sirhan and Bremer, Hinckley also kept a dairy in which he detailed his plans
for shooting Reagan.
There are reports that a Hinckley "double" named "Richardson" traced
Hinckley's path from Colorado to Connecticut, all the while writing letters
to Jodie Foster, just as the real Hinckley did. This Richardson was arrested
with a weapon at New York's Port Authority bus terminal, claiming he was
going to kill Reagan. Richardson and also had links to World Vision
Ministry. No less a figure than conspiracy queen Mae Brussel allegedly
spotted an apparent Hinckley double prior to the assassination attempt and
reported this to the Secret Service. (The Hinckley double's true name is
Edward Richardson, a person who looked amazingly like Hinckley).
One has to ask the obvious: what are the odds that two "unstable" men could
be obsessed with the same actress from the same film at the same time, while
"behaving" under nearly exact circumstances? That both of these men were
intent on re-creating the Travis Bickle character's assassination scheme
from the movie "Taxi Driver"? What are the chances that two separate
"mentally unstable," lone individuals, with so many odd similarities, would
reach critical mass at the same time and in the same way?
It is known through court records that Hinckley underwent psychiatric
treatment just prior to his attempt on Reagan and that at the time of the
shooting, he was under the influence of psychiatric drugs.

Hubbard was clearly involved in the occult. In 1945, L. Ron Hubbard met Jack Parsons, who was a renowned scientist, protégé of occultist Aleister Crowley, and a member of the notorious Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.), an international organization founded by Crowley to practice sexual black magic.
Parsons had Hubbard move onto the property of Parsons' Pasadena, California, home. It was there that Hubbard began to practice the occult and sexual magic. Parsons' mistress, Sara Northrup, left him for Hubbard and later became Hubbard's second wife, even before Hubbard had divorced his first wife (The Los Angeles Times, June 24, 1990, p. A37).

Puberty And Sexual Abuse....
Red Riding Hood
Yes , I think you are right - the red cloak or coat stands for the vagina/labia with the clittoral hood ; it is thus a symbol for female sexuality , and the sexuality of a young girl in relation to the fairytale.
The original story has a submeaning which is about the danger to young innocent girls from sexual predators ( represented in the story by a wolf ) ; the woodcutter ( a father figure ) has to come in and save Red Riding Hood by cutting off the wolf's head ( castration symbolism ).
Roma Ligocka , the actual little girl in the red coat , lived in the Krakow Ghetto rather than the Warsaw Ghetto and Spielberg did not know her story until after the film had been shot. Thus Spielberg's little girl is not based on any historical figure.
The death of the little girl and her coat juxtaposed against the white snow may symbolise the death of innocence , but also the loss of sexual innocence - the blood shed by the breaking of the hymen. There does seem to be some disturbing sexual imagery in this film , but of course most people will never notice it.
Spielberg links to Geffen in that they both set up Dreamworks together in 1994 with Jeffrey Katzenberg , interestingly each of the triumverate invested $33 million as their initial stake in the company.
in MK it stands for powerfull/dangerous woman (alters) and one weapon of a strong woman is her sexuality.
who is the most powerfull figure in the last X-Men movie ?
she is
completely in red
interesting what you wrote about red riding hood, that reminds me at a movie i've seen just the other day.

a symbol tied into MK we haven't covered in the Thread so far is the Smiley face. it's all over the movie

Before Steinem was a crazy woman she was a reporter, and first came to fame in 1963 when she wrote an undercover exposé of life as a Playboy Bunny. She was 28, and didn't then consider herself a feminist, and so the article focused less on the politics of the Hefner empire and more on the socio-economics of a Bunny's life.
Steinem wrote, all of which added up. Before she herself qualified, she had to undergo a gynaecological examination. After the article was published, Hefner wrote to her, conceding that "your beef about the physical given the girls before they start work at the club prompted my eliminating it".

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When shes ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell them a hookah smoking caterpillar has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small
When the men on the chess board
get up and tell you where to go
And you just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving slow
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the white knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "Off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said

The Ex-Acid-Rock Singer Peddles Her 'Alice' Art
Sue Kavach
Grace Slick says she can't remember a lot of things, which is perhaps no surprise given how much she drank and drugged herself into oblivion during her reign as a rock-and-roll queen
Now she's an artist holding court at a gallery in a suburban shopping mall, where some 150 people have come to see her paintings
and drawings. But mostly it is a chance for them to set their eyes on a legend, the woman who did all those bad things that horrified parents -- and survived.
Polka-dotted teacups are set on a table at the Wentworth Gallery in Fashion Centre at Pentagon City, in a tribute to Slick, whose work revolves around "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," nudes and rock musicians (live ones like Eric Clapton, but more often dead ones like Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Jerry Garcia and Janis Joplin)
Alice Sipping Tea
By Grace Slick
Back in 1970, Grace Slick came to Washington for a very different purpose: a White House reception hosted by Tricia Nixon. The event's organizers weren't aware that her song "Mexico" was a scathing critique of President Richard Nixon's anti-drug policy. Nonetheless, she was denied entrance because she'd brought along Abbie Hoffman, whose name was synonymous with radical. Slick said afterward she would have spiked Nixon's tea with LSD if she'd gotten in.
"This shot of Grace Slick and Janis was taken in 1967 for Teen Set magazine for an article on the two Queen Bees of San Francisco Rock.

Ewige Blummencraft
Ewige Blumenkraft (German: "forever flower power" or "flower power forever") is given in Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson's Illuminatus! Trilogy as a slogan or password of the Illuminati. Since "flower power" is a modern concept advanced by hippies, it is likely that Shea and Wilson intended this as a joke, although, characteristically, they never say so. They attribute the disclosure of this slogan to an article by Sandra Glass in the magazine Teenset for March 1969. Another possibility is that the rose and lotus flower are an important symbol of spiritual development in both the western and eastern mystery schools. "Ewige Blumenkraft und ewige Schlangenkraft" is also offered in Illuminatus! as the complete version of this motto. The text translates "Schlangenkraft" as "serpent power"; thus "Ewige Blumenkraft und ewige Schlangenkraft" means "eternal flower power and eternal serpent power" and may allude to the conjoinment of cross and rose within the alchemical furnace. In this interpretation, the authors seem to suggest sexual magick as the secret or a secret of the Illuminati. Illuminatus! quotes Glass as claiming that the phrase figured in an incident involving Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley and Senator Abraham A. Ribicoff during the 1968 Democratic National Convention. After Ribicoff criticized Mayor Daley for instructing the Chicago Police Department to deal harshly with anti-war demonstrators, Daley shouted something inaudible at Ribicoff, leading to widespread speculation about what Daley had said. The Teenset article, according to Illuminatus!, introduces the novel theory that Daley shouted "Ewige Blumenkraft!" -- presumably marking Daley as a member of the Illuminati. The web-page [ claims that this article really appeared in Teenset, but that Sandra Glass was a pseudonym for Robert Shea, who was playing a prank. The Teenset article (as quoted in Illuminatus!) cites Simon Moon -- a fictional character from Illuminatus!, as well as one of Robert Anton Wilson's pen names -- as the source of its background information on the Illuminati.

Q: "What about Jim Morrison of The Doors?"
Grace: "I don't know. We co-headlined with them in Europe, and was that funny. We were in Amsterdam - drugs were legal there - and we'd all be walking down the street and kids would walk up and hand us these drugs.
We'd maybe smoke one toke off a joint or something. Well, Jim took everything everyone offered him. And by the time we had to play that night, he couldn't. He came onstage during our performance, and he was like a pinwheel. I mean,
he was just flailing all over. They had to take him away. But I don't think it was suicidal. It was just...push it to the edge, see whether it's going to fall off or not."
Now, I wanted it all--I wanted the boyfriend or husband and the kid and the job and the drugs; I didn't want to give up one for the other. So that's what I did, and I'm glad, because when you get old it's what you didn't do that you regret. I didn't learn how to ride a horse. I didn't go to the Middle East. I didn't screw Jimi Hendrix or Peter O'Toole when I had the chance. I would have loved to have gotten drunk with all those British guys like Oliver Reed and Richard Harris and screwed them all, because that's what the deal was then--sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll.

This is probably where it all starts , with the hippie movement and the associated peace movement in the 1960s.
With the control over the world media that the CIA has - supposedly they have agents in media outlets in every capital city in the world , and they own many publications outright or in part - they can promote any music act that they choose. Very rarely will the CIA act in a ' hands on ' fashion though , they act as ' puppet masters ' behind the scenes via investments and holding companies. It would be very easy to fill the music industry and film industry with their ' projects '.

It was called " orange sunshine," and much of it was smuggled in from southern California during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Far from the rice paddies of Southeast Asia a group known as the Brotherhood of Eternal Love was waging its own holy war of sorts in their tireless efforts to turn the world on to LSD. During their heydey the Brotherhood ran the world's largest illicit LSD ring.

Good Wednesday morning, South Jersey, and Happy Hump Day! Talk about a swing of the proverbial pendulum. The last five days have seen a twenty degree free-fall in our high temperatures in E.H.T. Just five days ago, we had a high of 68 degrees...we have hit the bottom as of yesterday with a measly 48 degree high temperature. It's all uphill from here, though, but there's a slight catch. We're keeping an eye on an approaching cold front that is still well off to the west. Ahead of it, there is a decent bit of warm air advection (Strong southerly winds that are bringing up some warmer air from the Southeast) that will arrive through the day today. Highs will easily reach the mid to upper 60s on the mainland, and 70 degrees is possible as well. The coast will still warm up, but only into the low 60s with a sea breeze developing in the afternoon. Winds will be out of the southwest at 15mph. That cold front arrives through the night tonight, and cloud cover will return as well. This will act as a natural blanket of sorts for the surface, so we won't cool down too much tonight. Lows will be in the upper 40s with scattered showers arriving around or after midnight. Winds will remain a bit strong and out of the south at 10 to 15mph. Cloud cover will linger a bit longer after the rain subsides, but we'll gradually clear out through the day. It will also be slightly cooler behind this front with highs "only" in the low 60s.
Friday through Monday can be described with one word: Seasonable. High pressure builds back into the Northeast following that frontal passage, and we are treated with simply gorgeous Spring-like weather! The four day stretch will have partly to mostly sunny skies (With Monday holding the biggest cloud potential...details in a moment on that one) with highs in the mid 60s. Keep in mind, our average high temperature by the end of the week will be roughly 65 degrees, so it will also be a near perfect example of an "average" Spring weekend in South Jersey. Once we hit the start of the next work week, we run into a bit of a dilemma. High pressure to the north with co-mingle with low pressure to the south along the eastern third of the nation. The question is this: Which will assert more dominance over our weather. Well, it all depends on which ends up being more influential and as a result stronger. The jury is out on this one at the moment amongst the models, so I'll leave it as a chance for showers on Tuesday with a dry (for now) Monday. Highs for both days should remain in the low to mid 60s.
Have a great day!

WWE NXT: Redemption: The super duper "I have no life" edition
by Emerson "I can't believe I watched these two shows either" Witner
Yes I have decided to watch and review the two weeks I missed!
May God have mercy on my soul.
March 29, 2011
LIVE! (on tape) from Chicago, Illinois
Technically we are 5 days away from WrestleMania and NXT starts with Matt Striker calling the rookies to the ring. Maryse is getting the week off for some odd, unknown reason.
Going into tonight, the only two rookies with Redemption Points are Titus O'Neil with 5 points and Darren Young with 7.
Up first is an arm wrestling tournament for 4 points.
The man who wins his first round match the quickest, gets a bye into the finals.
Darren Young vs Byron Saxton (w/backwards trucker hat)
Darren wins a hard fought contest in 23.7 seconds
Conor O'Brian vs Lucky Cannon (w/robe)
Lucky spends forever disinfecting his hands, before spraying hand sanitizer in Conor's eyes and getting disqualified. Somehow that took 11 seconds.
Titus O'Neil vs Jacob Novak (now with gold trunks)
Titus slams Jacob's hand down in 3.5 seconds.
Conor then beat Darren Young in the semi finals, to lead to the final of...
Titus O'Neil vs Conor O'Brian
Titus won quickly.
So yes, Titus won another challenge and now has 9 Redemption points.
At this point, I fast forwarded about 35 minutes. What I "missed" was a Darren Young video, where he blasted his Season 1 Pro, my Straight Edged Savior C.M. Punk and a LOT of video's for WrestleMania.
6-Rookie Tag
Conor O'Brian, Byron Saxton & Titus O'Neil vs Lucky Cannon (w/robe), Darren Young &
Jacob Novak
Conor and Lucky started. Conor with a series of deep arm drags and goes to work on Lucky's arm. Titus tags in, barks, and drops a leg on Lucky's arm.
Lucky with a knee to Titus and tags in Darren Young, who runs into a pair of arm drags by Titus.
Saxton tags in, but walks into a side Russian Legsweep for a 2 count and Team #2 goes to work on Byron.
I'll tell you what, if Byron wasn't such a great cocky heel, he'd make an even better babyface in peril.
All 3 members of the Lucky/Darren/Jacob trio are going to work on Saxton, including triple teaming him when Titus had the refs attention.
Novak misses an elbow but Saxton can't make the tag! Novak slaps on a rear chin lock and Saxton, valiently, fights out of and finally makes the tag to the big man, Titus O'Neil.
It's bonzo gonzo (as I steal another line from EWR) as the other 4 fight outside the ring,
Titus nails the Clash Of The Titus (Lo-Down) on Novak for the win!
Winners: Titus O'Neil, Conor O'Brien and Byron Saxtom
Time: 6:27
And that is it for March 27. And if you have any...wait a sec...I am only half done...
April 5, 2011
LIVE! From Charlotte, North Carolina (WHOOOOO!)
The NXT rookies, Matt and Maryse are already in the ring to start the show.
We start with Hot Seat Trivia for 4 Redemption Points. Matt will list a catagory and then each man lists one name until someone gets one wrong.
WrestleMania 27 winners
Darren Young, who was first, answered Bret Hart.
Byron: Undertaker
Jacob: Orton
Conor: Snooki (Maryse booed)
Lucky said he slept with Matt's girlfriend the night before
Titus: Cody Rhodes
Byron: Edge
Jacob: Miz
Conor couldn't think of anyone.
So we are down to 3 as we go to the next catagory...
Any 2011 Hall Of Fame Inductee
Titus: Jim Duggan
Byron: Shawn Michaels
Jacob: Sunny
Titus: Road Warriors
Byron: Bullet Bob
Jacob couldn't think of anyone
The final catagory was name any NXT rookie in the first 5 seasons. Titus started and then Byron went.
They mentioned (in order) Titus O'Neil, Byron Saxton, Alex Riley, Michael McGillicutty, Husky Harris, David Otunga, Daniel Bryan, Wade Barrett, Eli Cottonwood, Brodus Clay, Johnny Curtis and Derrick Bateman before Titus slipped up and said Byron Saxton, who was already mentioned.
So Byron wins 4 Redemption points!
Conor O'Brian (w/Vladimir Kozlov) vs Jacob Novak (w/JTG)
Kozlov's arm was in a sling from the beating The Corre gave him at Axxess.
Todd revealed the reason Conor now wears gold trunks is a few weeks ago Byron said it looked like he was wearing a diaper and this hurt Conor's feelings.
Ya know, I think I have seen this match before...
Conor in control of the early going, working on the arm and with a drop toe hold and a front chin lock.
Conor, tho, ran into Novaks boots and got flipped into the corner turnbuckle.
Novak stomps away with elbows, boots and knees, but only gets a 1 count.
A Rude Awakening gets Novak a 2 count, but Conor fights out of a front chin lock with a back body drop.
Novak sends Conor into the corner, but misses the MVP boot to the face in the corner and Conor rolls him up for the win!
Winner: Conor O'Brian
Time: 4:09
Backstage Lucky Cannon (w/robe) approaches Yoshi and apologizes for whats been happening with them and Maryse. Yoshi tells him to apologize to Maryse. Lucky said he no longer wants her and heard that Maryse thinks he's cute.
So Yoshi walked up to Maryse and asked her on a date. Ted DiBiase randomly appeared, and with absolutely no emotion, said "no", before beating Yoshi all over the backstage area.
Ted yelled at Maryse saying that Yoshi couldn't afford Maryse.
Elsewhere backstage JTG and Vladimir Kozlov are having a conversation. I need the script of this show, just to see what the hell Kozlov was saying.
What I think happened is JTG agreed to make Jacob Novak fly and Vladimir agreed to make Conor look fierce. (I know someone who could help...)
Titus O'Neil & Hornswoggle vs Chavo Guerrero & Darren Young
The rookies start. Darren takes the early advantage with a headlock, but runs into Titus' boots. Chavo tags in and Titus refuses to tag in Hornswoggle.
Chavo doesn't allow a clean break to take the advantage, as Todd and Mr. Regal discuss the epic Chavo-Hornswoggle feud of 2009.
Hornswoggle tags himself in and wants Darren Young.
Darren wants a test of strength and gets on his knees. Darren easily overpowers the little man and begins laughing. Horny then kicked him in the groin, followed by a kick to Chavo's shin.
Titus tags back in and runs over Darren and hits a powerslam before barking.
Chavo blind tags himself in and climbs to the top, as Darren has knocked Titus down.
Hornswoggle bites Chavo's ankles and runs under the ring. Darren gets tagged in as Chavo runs after the midget.
Titus immediately nails the Clash Of The Titus for the win
Winners: Titus O'Neil & Hornswoggle
Time: 4:27
I fast forward through 25 minutes of nothing and get to the main event...
Ted DiBiase vs Yoshi Tatsu
Maryse is at ringside applying lipstick.
There are less then 4 minutes to go in the show and we still need The Rock to come out and...wait....wrong show...
Anyway, this match was 2 minues of Ted DiBiase beating the living (and non-living) shit out of Yoshi.
Ted stomped away in the corner and would not break at 5 and was disqualified.
Winner: Yoshi Tatsu
Time: 1:56
Afterwards Ted went outside and told Maryse that she has 7 days to pick between Ted DiBiase or NXT. She can't have both!
So that is it for the Super Duper I Have No Life Edition. I will be back later tonight with tonight's NXT.

Dear Dr. Cory:
Why do we need vitamins?
Dear Zeleste:
We need vitamins to grow and to stay healthy. The body cannot make most vitamins, so we get them from foods. Different foods have different vitamins. That's why it is important to eat from all of the food groups.
• Vitamin A is for healthy hair, skin, and vision. Vitamin A foods include: milk, carrots, apricots, sweet potatoes, spinach, and broccoli.
• Vitamin B helps us make and use energy from food. We also need it for healthy blood. Vitamin B foods include: whole grains (such as wheat and oats), fish, chicken, lean meats, eggs, milk, yogurt, dark greens, beans, and peas.
• Vitamin C is for healthy teeth, gums, and muscles. It also protects us from infection and helps us heal. Vitamin C foods include: oranges, grapefruits, strawberries, kiwi, cabbage, brussels sprouts, broccoli, peppers, and tomatoes.
• Vitamin D is for strong bones and teeth. It helps the body use minerals such as calcium. Vitamin D foods include: milk, fish, eggs, and some cereals.
• Vitamin E is for healthy blood, eyes, skin, liver, and lungs. Vitamin E foods include: whole grains, leafy green vegetables, nuts, seeds, avocado, peanut butter, and egg yolks.
• Vitamin K helps the blood to clot when we get a cut. Vitamin K foods include: dark green leafy vegetables, milk, yogurt, eggs, and meats.

Doctor, this is why I love you. Right here.
Vincent van Gogh was a man who is somewhat famous for his mental instability. He later ended his own life. For the Doctor to go and show him that his art mattered, and that his existence mattered…is amazing. And I wish someone could have shown this amazing artist how much he contributed to the world.
I wish the Doctor could show everyone how they mattered, because everybody does matter. In our own small way, we change the world simply by existing.
I will always, always, ALWAYS reblog this when it's on my dash.
I loved this scene so much
i don't even watch doctor who but this gif set makes me tear up every time it's on my dash
Oh gosh I wish I could go back in time and give VanGogh a great big hug because he is one of my favorite artists and I've always felt so sad for him :(
i totally bawled at this scene, no joke at all.
Reblogging gifsets from shows I haven't seen again but seriously need to again, don't mind me
brb sobbing
He went out of his way to show Vincent that he really mattered.
Damn it, I'm crying again.
this part always makes me cry because you wonder what would have happened if someone had recognised his talent in the first place, would things have been any different?
I sob.

J. :) I greatly enjoy conversing with him about socialism or comics or life in general. He's very funny. Very sweet. But even if you don't get a nice word from him directly, you can see his genuine kindness and good humor in his posts on fuckyeahollie (or one of his other blogs). He's always talking about buying something for his girlfriend or the artistic talent of fuckyeahaqauaman or how great another tumblr is. Self-deprecating but appreciative of other people. Love that. Chatting with him always cheers me up.
I wish he lived around here, because I think we'd get along like a house on fire. He could even bring fuckyeahaqauaman! But only if I'm allowed to make gay jokes about them on a near-constant basis. :P

The CDC is closely watching the new strain of bird flu emerging in China.
On April 3, there were 9 cases and the very next day, there were 14. This particular strain is called the H7N9 virus. Genetic studies reveal this virus may have mutated, making it easier to spread in animals which also makes it a bigger threat to humans.
There have been a total of 5 human deaths, all of which have occurred in China.

Whether it is running, swimming, weight lifting or aerobics, fitness experts say the center of all exercise routines is the core - the abdominal, back and muscles around the pelvis - which is the seat of stability, strength and power. Adding in exercise routines to strengthen the core can help the runner go faster, the basketball player jump higher and the everyday exerciser more easily do routine tasks from loading the car to cleaning the tub.
Hammam, Bangsar Village II
Courtesy of Hammam
If you and your man are busy working from day to day, it's always important to take a day off to spend some quality time together. Nothing beats a couple treatment in a comfortable spa to unwind, de-stress and to relax. That is exactly what we were in for at the luxurious Hammam spa in Bangsar Village 2.
The Moroccan spa has gained popularity for its fantastic hammam and gommage treatment which keeps their customers coming back for more. My man and I were generously treated to a couple's experience encompassing their trademark Hammam & Gommage, body polish, aromatherapy massage, and a purifying facial. Trust me when we say that was one of the best spa experiences we have ever had.
We were brought in to the waiting lounge where the view was simply breathtaking. These shop units were completely transformed and we honestly felt like we flew miles across the ocean for a Moroccan getaway. We saw many walls broken, antique doors fixed, lots of beautiful lighting and tiled art to break free from the usual shop designs in Bangsar Village 2.

Christians and Controversy
In a world full of social media, we can broadcast our beliefs with the click of a button. While the secular world is apt to convey their opinions of social issues without hesitation, the question is raised: How should Christians respond to controversial issues? Do we express our beliefs openly, posting our feelings about abortion and marriage on Facebook walls and blogs, or do we remain silent? In a time where controversy is king, the secular world is watching at how Christians respond. In battling with the decision on how to handle controversy, we should look at the ultimate example on how to respond: Jesus.
Jesus never directly confronted political or divisive issues. The Pharisees constantly tried to trap Jesus by forcing him to give an opinion on contentious topics (Matthew 17:24:-27; 19:1-12; 22:15-22). His responses were earnest, yet brief. Jesus did not come into the world to debate the world, but to save the world. Therefore, his ministry centered on the person rather than the issue. Regarding social issues, Jesus' philosophy was to "love the sinner, hate the sin." He was notorious for dining with "sinners," tax collectors, and other "social misfits" because his concern was for their well-being rather than making a statement.
An Example of Controversy
One of the greatest examples of Jesus' philosophy regarding controversy can be found in Luke 5. Jesus calls Levi the tax collector to be his disciple. At that time, a tax collector was one of the most hated people in Judea because they exploited their neighbors for personal gain. However, Jesus approached him and told him to follow. The publican got up, left everything, and followed Jesus.
I personally would have loved to witness the exchange between Jesus and Levi. The only words recorded in the call of Levi are: "Follow Me." It appears this is the first exchange that the two men had ever had (though I would conjecture that the publican had seen the miracles Jesus had been performing in Capernaum and recognized he was different from other Rabbis). The fact that Jesus approached Levi, spoke to him, and wanted him to be a disciple deeply impacted him. The tax collector was forever changed.
We then immediately see Levi respond with hospitality. Not only does he host his new teacher in his own home, but he begins to reach out to others who need Jesus. This is the first "evangelism meeting" recorded in Scripture (Luke 5:29). Levi understands Jesus' approach and begins to embrace it as his own.

I would like to clarify my quote that seems to be misconstrued. Jesus was non-confrontational on POLITICAL and DIVISIVE issues. He was VERY direct when it came to religious and moral issues. In fact, if you look in Matthew 18-19 , Jesus DIRECTLY teaches on the moral issues of sin in the church and divorce. However, these are issues related to the Law. The problems the disciples had in Luke 9 are similar. They thought Jesus as Messiah was going to establish a physical political kingdom rather than a spiritual one. That is why they were arguing about who would be greatest. The point of the article was to argue that though Jesus taught spiritual absolute truths, he did not implement them through a divine dictatorship. Rather, he emptied Himeself of his divine right and took the form of a servant (Phil. 2). As Christians, we often "lord" our beliefs over others. Jesus prioritized His teaching with the Kingdom being first and politics dead last. We should do the same.
Mia Ormonde
I don't think Jesus would encourage us to be passive about political issues. I agree with YMoore. Being an agreeable and non-confrontational person is not my thing... Nor do I think it was Jesus' thing
I really enjoyed this article. While I thought the same as the previous commenter about Jesus' approach, that was only one time. It was as you said how Jesus normally behaved among and toward sinners. Great reminder about being salt and light..it's getting lost among this false gospel being preached in America. Thank you!

Mona Lisa Upstaged - By A Younger, Happier Version!
While 15th Century artist Leonardo da Vinci painted many masterpieces, including the 'Last Supper, which depicts the final meal Jesus shared with his apostles before his crucifixion, he is most famous for a small 77 cm x 53 cm painting that sits encased in bulletproof glass at the Louvre Museum in Paris - The Mona Lisa! Now, it turns out that she may have some competition - A younger, happier version believed to have been painted by the Renaissance artist sometime between 1410-1455.
Named after the London suburb where British art collector Hugh Blaker discovered it shortly before World War 1, the Isleworth Mona Lisa is slightly larger than the iconic Paris version that attracts over 6 million visitors every year. But the resemblance to Lisa Gherardini AKA Mona Lisa is unmistakable, except for one thing - She looks a lot younger and happier!
The first person to suggest that it may be a genuine Da Vinci was Hugh Blaker's stepfather John Eyre, who in 1915 wrote a long essay about his theory. This view was reinforced in 1966 by American collector Henry F. Pulitzer, who bought the painting from Mr. Blaker. However, very few people took it seriously. When Mr. Pulitzer passed away he left it to his girlfriend who tucked it away inside a Swiss vault, where it lay for about 40 years.
Following her death in 2008, the painting was acquired by an International consortium of unnamed individuals who finally on September 29th, 2012, decided to ask experts to irrefutably prove that it was indeed, an earlier version of Mona Lisa - One that Da Vinci had handed over to Lisa Gherardini's husband Francesco di Bartolomeo, who it is believed had commissioned it as a gift for her birthday.
As would be expected most people were convinced it would prove to just a very well done forgery. After all, Mona Lisa fakes are constantly popping out of the woodworks and this one seemed to have a glaring flaw - Da Vinci's medium of choice was primarily wood, whilst this one was painted on canvas.
But after almost five months of tests that included one by a specialist in sacred geometry, as well as, brush stroke analysis done by experts from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, on February 13th the owners of the Isleworth Mona Lisa were proudly able to declare that this was indeed an original Da Vinci creation. We wonder what museum this version will star in.

Ultracapacitor for truck starts
Maxwell Technologies will market later this year an ultracapacitor that will replace one or two truck batteries and help start a truck. The unit is dry, maintenance-free, saves weight and provides protection against no-starts, the company says. It stores electricity on metal plates rather than through a chemical process used in batteries, making it less sensitive to cold temperatures. Minimal degradation occurs as the temperature drops from 100 degrees to below zero, the company says.
The unit offers less resistance to current flow than a battery, enabling it to crank the engine substantially faster. The unit stores enough energy for three potent cranking cycles of about four seconds each.

IRD door smasher had 'warned of terrorism'
Reprinted from: http://www.nzherald.co.nz
The man who drove his car through glass doors at the Inland Revenue Department building in Christchurch says he warned the department about terrorism but it had no security measures in place.
David Jerrold Theobald, 47, of St Albans, pleaded guilty in the Christchurch District Court today to charges of intentional damage and reckless driving.
He had worked at the Inland Revenue for 25 years and has said he had a long running employment dispute with the department.
In the summary of facts read to the court, Theobald told the police that he had warned the department about terrorism but they had no security measures there.
He drove his Mazda 626 through the foyer of the building in Cashel Street at 6.30am on a Saturday.
He crashed through two sets of glass doors and smashed a third.
Defence counsel Simon Clay asked Judge Stephen Erber to request a pre-sentence report for the November 17 sentencing.
Judge Erber ordered a reparation report and a pre-sentence report, and prohibited Theobald from driving while he was on bail.
Judge orders community work; $13,000 to repay
Reprinted from: http://www.stuff.co.nz
A disgruntled Inland Revenue employee who quit spectacularly by driving his car through the doors of the tax department's Christchurch building has been handed a hefty sentence of community work and ordered to pay $13,000 in reparations.
David Theobald, 48, took his dissatisfaction with his employer of 25 years straight to the front counter at 6.30am on August 15.
He crept his Mazda 626 up to the Inland Revenue building on Cashel St and, after making sure no staff were present, slowly drove through three sets of plate-glass doors causing more than $40,000 in damage.
Theobald, a long-time Christchurch musician whose stage name is Mick Elborado, admitted the crime, quipping to police when they arrived: "It's OK officer, I work here."
Photos of his exploits quickly emerged on the website of his band, The Axemen, and a Mick Elborado is Innocent page was set up on Facebook.
Theobald pleaded guilty and yesterday was sentenced in the Christchurch District Court by Judge Jane McMeeken.
Defence lawyer Simon Clay said Theobald's actions were in the nature of a protest, the culmination of a conflict at work that had lasted for some time.
There was a medical background to the offending, he said.
Theobald had checked there was no risk to any staff and smashed the windows early on a Saturday. He had been "disarmingly frank" with police, admitting his crime at the first opportunity.
The judge wanted to know why Theobald, a worker for 25 years, had no assets and no savings to make reparations.
He said he spent his money on drinks for friends and "being generous".
The judge said Theobald deliberately drove through plate-glass doors. His actions were completely inappropriate. "It's one thing to protest, it's quite another thing to deliberately and wantonly destroy property."
The building's owner, Rapaki Property Group, sought reparation of $27,000; Inland Revenue sought $14,500. The judge sentenced Theobald to 300 hours community work. Reparations of $8000 to Rapaki and $5000 to Inland Revenue were ordered at $20 per week from Theobald's sickness benefit.

All Souls is an equal-fate non-soul-discriminatory story, primarily but not solely based on the sole premise that the soul's sole is imprinted indelibly on the soul of the holy fisherman, the weeping fisher, the fishing weeper, the weeper who never fishes, across the river directly from the fisher who never weeps…

Dave drives to work
Reprinted from:
Dave Theobald has worked at Inland Revenue's Christchurch office for the last 20 years. His work is valued, he is a highly intelligent literate man. And he has problems with mental illness, something the TV ads tell us happens to 10% of the population.
He was diagnosed paranoid after self referring himself to a doctor. Because of the medication his work output became low. Dave was assigned a colleague within the department and this is where the real problems began.
This unqualified colleague would make her own "diagnosis" based on 'OOh I don't like the look of your eyes, I think you're a bit mad today' and other such remarks. On this basis she would insist on visits to the doctor where she sat in attendance and would insist on Dave's medication being changed, often with adverse side affects to Dave.
On one occasion shortly after being assigned, when Dave was off work for a week and enquiring whether he had any money and being told he had $800 for emergencies, she proceeded to borrow first $300 then another $500 off Dave till "next payday". The money wasn't repaid for a year until Dave insisted.
Another episode illustrates the stress Dave was under.
Dave: "I had gone through a particularly trying time, after being assaulted in my own home by gang prospects and burgled twice by my next door neighbours."
The colleague insisted on driving him to Psych Emergency.The diagnosing psychiatrist, asked to talk to her alone first. After speaking to her, the psychiatrist seemed very concerned and was insisting Dave be admitted for 3 weeks of residential psychiatric care at the local hospital. Dave already under stress from the burglaries and having to appear as a witness against the gang prospects was shocked.
The psychiatrist decided that even if Dave didn't go to hospital he required three weeks off work, no annual leave, no sick leave, so totally unpaid and with no chance to prepare.
When Dave applied to sight the doctor's notes he discovered his colleague in her private conversation with the psychiatrist had said blatant untruths such as 'His house is filled with rotting food and swarming insects such as ants' – Dave has photos of his house he'd taken at the same time, which although messy was quite habitable.
But do not get the impression that Dave is a charity case, somebody employed to demonstrate Inland Revenue's commitment to human rights. He is a highly intelligent individual, very good at his job and insanely knowledgeable about tax. In a working environment where these extra stresses weren't laden on him he is a productive and useful member of a team. His department in Inland Revenue was one of the more specialised, making decisions on very large refunds.
In workplace assessments over the three years these events occurred his overall marking was 106% out of an unattainable 120%. Exceptional results by anyone's measure.
Dave is also a gifted multi-instrumentalist musician and has played keyboards for one of NZ's top indie bands for the last 20 years.
In short Dave is a functional, valuable member of society, who recognises that he has a problem, but is well equipped to deal with it under normal circumstances.
Events finally came to a head last week when after Dave's repeated efforts to have his colleague's behaviour looked into, IR Management in Christchurch responded with a list of unachievable demands at a meeting on Friday:
1. Only working between 8:30 am and 6pm on whatever he was assigned which is basically the stuff nobody else could deal with. He was expected to clear up to 9 cases per hour, his section dealt with refunds of over $100,000. Previously Dave had been starting work at 10:30am (because his medication makes him drowsy first thing in the morning) and working till 7 or 8pm.
2. Dave has a 4 day week for mental health reasons, and if he was unable to work on any particular day because he was sick, he would swap the days around. The new edict from management demanded that he only take Wednesday off, any other day had to be leave without pay and a medical certificate would have to be provided by Dave. The reason given was for "structure and consistency".
This regime would continue for a month and if Dave hadn't met all targets by then it would be "formal discipline" time. Management referred to this unattainable plan as "moving forward"
How many times have we heard of management trying to get rid of "difficult" staff by assigning them impossible tasks so at the end they can sack them for non fulfillment?
In Dave's case it was even more dangerous. After spending a sleepless night on Friday worrying about his future, and realising that while at the moment he was sane, he certainly wouldn't be after a month worth of stress and sleep deprivation from worry about meeting these unattainable targets.
So in Dave's own inimitable way he decided on Saturday to show his response to their demands and the stress IR were trying to put on him.
After checking the cleaners had left and the building was unoccupied, Dave drove his car through the plate glass windows of the Christchurch Inland Revenue Office and left it parked, lights on and surrounded by shattered glass, in the foyer.
Calmly waiting for the police to arrive, car keys in one hand, a copy of Emma Goldmans "Anarchism and other Essays" in the other Dave quipped to the arresting officers "It's OK – I work here"
Conventional media has remained absolutely silent on reporting these events for two days, possibly because they feel uncomfortable about what has probably been presented by the cops and IR as the act of an unhinged person.
But this is *not* the act of an insane person – rather the actions of a man, confronted with abuses of power and a work regime designed to push him over the edge, to *protect* his own sanity and highlight the overwhelming wrongs and abuses perpertrated against him as an employee.
Elborado Showdown – The Shit Hits The Fan pt 2
New Zealand Employment Law is defective
Here's a great one. Disgruntled employee of Inland Revenue (the Kiwi IRS) drives his car through the plate glass first floor windows of the IRD's Christchurch Office, then tells the attending police officers that he had every intention of doing it.
IRD's notification letter to David Theobald, the driver, is hilarious and depressing. The whole thing is documented here, including photos of the crash scene, the police report, and the letters from IRD to Theobald subsequent to the crash. Relevant excerpts:
The defendant admitted the facts as outlined and explained his actions stating 'I had every intention to do that. I've thought about it and knew exactly what I was doing. I had warned them that someone could drive through there with a bomb in the car and create another 9-11, as they had no security measures.'
Seems pretty clear-cut. IRD's response:
Commencement of an Employment Investigation
1. Information has come to my attention which indicates that you may have intentionally driven a vehicle through Inland Revenue's Christchurch building on Saturday 15 August 2009. I am commencing an employment investigation in to this matter.
2. I am concerned that your conduct may be inconsistent with the Code of Conduct (contributing to a safe workplace and ensuring personal activities do not discredit Inland Revenue) and/or, the Standards of Integrity and Conduct, and/or your obligations to Inland Revenue, and that if substantiated, this conduct may amount to serious misconduct.
3. Given the nature of the allegations I am considering whether, or not, suspension is appropriate. Your employment agreement provides for this to be on pay.
bk drinkwater said…
Your headline is a noble attempt at understatement greater than part (2) of the IRD letter.
Philip said…
I don't have much of a problem with the IRD letters. They will just be form letters. I mean it's pretty obvious in this case, but there would be cases where employees were accused of crimes/misconduct where it would be a lot murkier. It's probably a lot safer/cheaper/easier for everyone involved if the IRD just sends out the same letter to everyone that they are investigating rather than starting to tailor the letter to specific cases..

ONE News – The Vehicle of David Jerrold Theobold
A disgruntled tax worker has left the Inland Revenue in no doubt about his feelings towards them after driving his car through the front door of their Christchurch building.
David Jerrold Theobald, 47, appeared in Christchurch District Court on Tuesday charged with intentional damage and reckless driving, after driving into the building at 6.30am on Saturday.
The pictures posted on his blog show a portrait of a man making a stand just moments after he ploughed through three plate glass doors parking his car in the Christchurch Inland Revenue reception.
"At the end of my tether going for one last kamikaze move – this was a very carefully calculated protest," says Theobald.
It was so carefully calculated he says, he checked there would be nobody in the building at the time.
"It's cathartic, I actually feel a great release now," he says.
Theobald describes himself as paranoid, and a depressive. Having worked for the IRD for 25 years, he says he was driven to the protest after a three year employment dispute.
He said he was fed up with what he saw as concealment of workplace bullying and incompetent management at Inland Revenue.
"This has been going on for three years, and now I've got four official information requests in with them and they're making that as onerous as possible … this was just a way to make a gesture."
Theobald's friend Ross Dixion says he has been under constant pressure.
"He has just been under repeated constant pressure where he felt like he was getting nowhere," she says.
The IRD has no comment about the damage or the employment matters, but the owner of the now battle-scarred building has much to say.
"Beating up on the IRD's a national sport. Most people see he act as something he has managed to carry out against the IRD but it's actually against someone's private property," says building owner Simon Henry.
Theobald has documented the incident all online and says he would not do it again – unless pushed.
"I wouldn't do it again, unless I went through three years of harassment the way I have with the IRD," he says.
Theobald has been remanded on bail to reappear on August 31.

My alter ego's actions seem entirely reasonable if has to deal with people who speak like this on a daily basis:
"Information has come to my attention which indicates that you may have intentionally driven a car through Inland Revenue's Christchurch building … I am concerned that your conduct may be inconsistent with the Code of Conduct."
Not sure about the Mick Eldorado bit though
Will the real slim shady please stand up
Yeah and doesn't the statement by Mr Crawford epitomize the utter b.s. world he must live in.
Reckon David Theobald should now sue IRD, claim ACC, get over $1000 per week on benefits..

ask the same of anyone awake or woken up.
1: appear in court and behave
2: walk to the crime scene gathering a motley crowd of the slightly curious hoping for more action.
3: make a very short speech calling upon tony mccone senior human resources officer to resign within 24 hours if he believes the actions of ir human resources staff will not withstand the main code of conduct test of 'the closest public scrutiny'
4: advise that because of the results of his incompetence i require payment in front of ir at this time tomorrow.
5: advise that if he does not resign and he's found to have sanctioned any actions which arouse public disgust it's 10 times his salary or everything he owns except his home.
6: give the commisioner of inland revenue one week to hear whether all actions can withstand public scrutiny – if not the same thing.
7: the next steps escalate to ir shifting all its banking to Kiwibankor another bank with nz ownership no matter what the cost and if they work theres leverage to change the world. You all helped!
I bet this is the first plan for world undomination transmitted by txt, facebook and hopefully youtube, if anyone films it
- let's see anyone shut down fcbk youtube and txting in one week.
If this crazy strategy works we all work 3 day weeks and live better, all meaning NZ and the world – if it gets shut down then it was already too late, but then any opposition will be visible.
All the planets are in line and they won't be again – forget scrabble and soaps – just for a day or so.

Vosburgh on AXEMEN
At the recent MONSTER GIG at Christchurch's glamorous crumbling Media Club, Bill Vosburgh handed Kawowski a single A4 sheet with a few paragraphs written on it all in capitals, relating to his earliest recollections of THE AXEMEN days in Christchurch (1983-1987).
Luckily he stuck around and performed an incendiary blues rock set that night, as well as jamming with Steve, Stu & Helm at 4am New Year's Day out at South Brighton, and also playing a few songs on various acoustic guitars on subsequent visits to Kawowski's seaside hideaway.

THE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE by RITCHIE VENUS
In 1988, Little Stevie McCabe and I spent most of May and part of June in the United States. The purpose of our trip was partly to perform, and partly to make and renew contacts on behalf of the record companies we represented (Sleek Bott and Onset Offset). We were both trying to get albums released by American companies, partly to overcome the problem of getting New Zealand records pressed, and also because the records of both of us attracted more interest in the U.S. than they did in New Zealand. Indeed, it always amazed me that I could get things reviewed in New York and Boston without difficulty, but not in New Zealand!
Before the trip, I had a number of expectations. For a start, I was under the impression that New Zealand music was currently sought after in a manner somewhat akin to the British Beat boom of the Sixties, although on a much smaller scale. I was surprised to find how much smaller a scale the interest was: most shops were as reluctant as the New Zealand ones to stock records released by small independent companies. The fact that New Zealand pressings were not sealed in cellophane didn't help. One New Orleans, shop that had in the past exhibited enthusiasm for New Zealand music, had become disillusioned because it had not sold.
Few, however, gave the impression of having ever been remotely interested in any of it. The stock excuses were that the records had to be released through an American company, or that a shop could not buy records from anyone who did not have a vendor's licence.
The latter had no apparent basis in law, as there were some shops that would buy stock from us, although sometimes they would take it only on a sale-or-return basis ("on consignment") as in New Zealand. Onset Offset never received any money from such deals!
Onset Offset having received requests from American critics for records and tapes to review, I expected a greater interest from critics than one found in New Zealand, where a review copy sent to a publication occasionally resulted in a review, but was more likely to end up in the nearest second-hand shop. In this, I was not disappointed: my experience of American critics of independent records was that they generally turned out to be enthusiasts keen to build up their own collections in return for constructive and encouraging reviews in the magazines for which they wrote. Of particular note in this respect were Byron Coley of "Forced Exposure" and Fred Mills of "The Bob".
As a performer, I expected the remuneration to be better than in New Zealand. While I was aware that New Zealand audiences were well known for their lack of response, I had no particular expectation of American audiences. As it happened, I was pleasantly surprised by the enthusiasm with which our performances were received. Americans, it seemed, understood what New Zealanders do not, i.e. that if a performer receives no encouragement in the early stages of a performance, it is almost impossible to build up any momentum, with the result that when the audience fails to indicate its approval or disapproval, the performance is likely to become more and more mechanical as it proceeds, leaving both the audience and the performer dissatisfied.
Whereas New Zealanders will sit like zombies waiting for the performer to win them over, Americans give one the benefit of the doubt and display enthusiasm from the start, which greatly affects the quality of the performance they get. As far as the money was concerned, however, it proved to be no better than in New Zealand. In San Francisco, where we performed and also worked for a promoter putting up posters, we were promised more for both than we actually received. Everyone in the music business there seemed to be perpetually insolvent, especially when it was time to pay performers.
My final expectation was that while there was likely to be more competition in America, there would also be more opportunities. What I found was that there was indeed infinitely more competition in the form of an unbelievable number of bands, most of which seemed incredibly well-rehearsed and displayed an energy that would probably have been frowned upon in New Zealand alternative music circles in those days. At the same time, however, each city seemed to have the same number of venues as a typical New Zealand city. While almost every band I encountered had a record out, there existed a similar situation to that in New Zealand where one could be revered by many who would do anything for you except buy your records.
Neither of us eventually found American companies to release our records, but we made valuable distribution deals, which at least ensured that our records would continue to be available in the United States.
As a performer, I am bound to say I would prefer to be in America than New Zealand. Nevertheless, in other ways I came to feel it was a nice place to visit, but an undesirable place to live. The ever-present beggars and hustlers were a nuisance, especially in New York, where one had to try to look intimidating to discourage as many of them as possible, and where any attempt at friendliness to a stranger was likely to be perceived as an attempt to get money from him/her. Also, despite being well armed at all times, I seldom felt very safe in the city centres, which seemed full of suspicious-looking characters.
On the credit side, I was frequently impressed by the friendliness of people of all races. Indeed, the racial problems we heard about were not as apparent as I expected. While I was there, I never wished I was back home, and my experience with Customs upon my return made me wish I had not bothered coming back: overzealous Customs officers seemed to think that anyone carrying a guitar case was a drug smuggler, and in a (fruitless) search for drugs they dismantled my guitar, went through my baggage and clothes, and took my souvenirs.

Erie County Democratic Chairman Bill Cole confirms that former Congresswoman Kathy Dahlkemper is getting back into politics. But what's interesting is that she's taking steps to run for Erie County Executive on the democratic ticket at the same time she's exploring a run for governor of PA.
Cole says someone is circulating nominating petitions for Dahlkemper to run against incumbent Barry Grossman in the May primary. He also says state party officials still have Dahlkemper on record as one of five possible democratic challengers for the governor's seat.
Cole said county party officials were caught off guard by Dahlkemper as a candidate for county executive. "Normally we're made aware of it beforehand," said Cole. "They usually consult with us, but this caught us off guard. There was no one on our committee that was aware she was going to enter the county executive's race."
