New York City-based experimental and technical death metal quartet, PYRRHON, are back with their latest works, "Growth Without End".
The five-song Growth Without End was recorded and mixed by Ryan Jones (TODAY IS THE DAY, MUTILATION RITES), mastered by Colin Marston (GORGUTS, KRALLICE), and as expected from the talented and lethal PYRRHON, is a total mindfuck, merging bouts of punishing death, super-evil noise rock, twisted math, chaotic and menacing grind. It's kind of like Daughters, Brutal Truth, Merzbow and Autopsy created a batch of catchy-by-reverse-psychology songs, and then promised to never speak of them again. As usual, vocalist Doug Moore brings a wildly varied palate of screams, growls, grunts, howls, barks and spoken power to his ominous, thought-provoking and voyeuristic lyrics that navigate the miasma of sonic insanity the band lays down. It's clear each member in the band is a virtuoso – skills used not to show off, but to engulf the listener with emotion, power, tasty chaos and passages that will get inside of you, possess you, and bring cathartic, 'hell yes!' pleasure and pain to all your musical glands.
Recommended if you like GORGUTS, ULCERATE, MESHUGGAH, DEATH, MISERY INDEX, SUFFOCATION, ATHEIST as well as DEATHSPELL OMEGA, KRALLICE.
This is CD version released on Selfmadegod Records, following its initial vinyl version released May 2015 by Handshake Inc.
"Outré as they get, everything Pyrrhon do emanates from an obsidian death metal core - just that this music is that much more expressive, its impact that much more disquieting than almost anything else in the genre." - Decibel

5 The Hierophant is an instrumental experimental band from London.

To achieve the desired oppressive atmosphere 5 The Hierophant expanded their sound by bowed guitars, violin, percussion, singing bowls, saxophone, and various tape loops and samples. Between 2014-15 the band recorded their first studio material to

AZARATH was formed in October 1998 by Inferno, Bruno and D. The first recordings were: "Traitors" demo and Promo'2000. The band played many shows and later – already with Bart (Damnation) who filled the line-up – they recorded debut album "DEMON SEED" in Hertz Studio. Album contains 10 songs of terrifying brutal death metal, aggressive, dirty and sinister. With no doubt it's one of the most extremely death metal albums. The band got great response and reviews and also invitation from VADER for Polish part of REVELATIONS TOUR 2002.
During last days of August 2003 the band recorded second album "INFERNAL BLASTING" in Hendrix Studio. This album got even more fuckin' great reviews than the debut one. After recording session of "Infernal Blasting" D. left the band because of personal reasons. The band found the second guitarist – Trufel from Yattering – and with him in line-up started to promote new album. In June 2006 (Hendrix Studio) and then in August 2006 (Hertz Studio) Azarath recorded 10 tracks for the third album "Diabolic Impious Evil", which was released on 16th of September and from that day Azarath started Polish part of Blitzkrieg 4 tour supporting Vader together with Vesania and Trauma. In October 2008 AZARATH signed new deal with Agonia Records upon release of their 4th studio album "Praise The Beast" as standard CD, LP and limited digi with bonus track. The same time the band signed DEATHGASM RECORDS for standard CD release for North America territory. The band played some festivals then – Inferno Fest ,Oslo in April, Devilstone Fest Lithuania in June and PartySan Fest, Germany in August 2009. Further, during eleven days of September/October 2009 Azarath (together with Hermh and Black River) supported BEHEMOTH on their Polish "Evangelion tour".
After the tour Bruno (voc/bass) decided to leave the band and focus on his private life. The band continues with NECROSODOM (Anima Damnata, ex-Thunderbolt,ex-Throneum) as new bass player and vocalist. In the end of 2010 Azarath signed Witching Hour Productions for upcoming releases. Recording session of fifth album took place in January and February in Hertz Studio where Wiesławscy Bros were responsible for production, mixing and mastering duties. Yet untitled full-length album will be released on 6th of June 2011 by Witching Hour Productions. Earlier, on 10th April 2011 Witching Hour will first release EP 'Holy Possession' consisting of title track and cover of 'Rebel Souls' by Damnation. In January 2011 Azarath underwent some personal changes. The band split up with Thrufel and Necrosodom (vocals) took over guitar duties. Bass duties are now handled by P.
BESATT, although being still underrated In their home country, conquers South America with this unique style since years – which is proved by numerous concerts and releases on that continent. With their 8th and best up-to-date album, BESATT attacks with blasphemous power of the Beast spitting satanic venom and slaying anything that includes even a small element of sanctity. "TEMPUS APOCALYPSIS" was recorded and produced in Hertz Studio (Bialystok, PL) and brings 9 blasphemous anthems praising SATAN. This is undoubtedly the blackest diamond in BESATT's discography – prepare for 9 announcements of apocalypse that will start on 6th July 2012!!!"TEMPUS APOCALYPSIS" will be released via Witching Hour Productions as 6-panel digipak with 12-page booklet.
New album by Warsaw's VEDONIST. 9 ultra brutal death metal blows. Nine new songs were recorded at the end of last year in 3 studios (Sophiria Studio, Huge Studio and Top Secret Studio). Later the music was mixed and mastered by Wieslawski Bros (Behemoth, Vader).

In 2008 Supreme Lord prepares 8 new songs and Incantation cover for the upcoming album 'FATHER KAOS' recorded in Zielona Góra Nagram Studio. Negotiations with labels end up siging the deal with Witching Hour Production. The release date is set for November 2011.

SEAGULLS INSANE AND SWANS DECEASED MINING OUT THE VOID s/t
In the second half of February 2011 Havoc (Blindead, ex-Behemoth) and Nihil (Furia, Morowe, Massemord, Cssaba) spent 7 days on Saturn and in its vicinity. Puropose of this travel was travelling through emptiness, discovering no one knows what exactly, and what for… No answer was found, no conclusion reached – sometimes there is gravity on Saturn, sometimes there is not… Most season of the year appear there simultaneously… They brought back some sound samples with them, but those will give nothing to humanity… Five of them can be checked since November on the album called "seagulls Insane and swans Deceased mining out the void". Both unintentionally and accidentally given birth was 50-minutes of avant-garde post black metal music. This is the voyage into limitless abyss and emptiness. The Absolute is at hand… Just as nothingness… What you will find during this unique trip, depends only on you…
OIDHANGER was formed in 2010 by Zyklon, Warcrimer (both Infernal War and Iperyt) and Priest (Enclave, Massemord)
to spread negativity and satanic madness through infernal mixture of oldschool thrash, black and death metal. In 2011 the band finished its debut album entitled "Wrathprayers", mastered in Hertz Studio (Vader, Behemoth) by Wiesławscy Bros. The final outcome is nothing but pure, devastating mixture of those three extreme genres that will leave you begging for more!
Released as a super jewel case slipcase cd with booklet.
Never before oficially released, two first demos of THAW: "Decay" and "Advance" with bonus tracks, almost 90 minutes of
AVANTGARDE EXPERIMENTAL BLACK METAL released on two separate cd in standard jewelcase. All remastered. This release is limited to 500 copies.
Regarded by some to be a wasted opportunity for Armagedon's worldwide recognition. With an underground acclaim even higher than "The Ultimate Incantation" of Vader this album was one of the milestones of Polish death metal. A brutal and monumental effort that never wears off! Truly a magnificent album!
Pro printed tape edition, clear cassete with grey liner
"Dead Condemnation" is one of the best demos of the Polish death metal scene of the '90s. Monumental sound, perfect riffs and strength were the trademarks of Armagedon back then.

New ECHOES OF YUL album out now.
After two regular albums, a split release and a well-received EP called "Tether", Echoes of Yul returns with a brand new full-length album filled with their own vision of slow-motion music.

Michał Śliwa is not trying to follow worn-out, tried and safe paths, but created a new coherent piece of work entitled "The Healing".

CARNAL DIAFRAGMA = killer Czech grindcore band in the vein of SQUASH BOWELS, PULMONARY FIBROSIS, MALIGNANT TUMOUR, CEREBRAL TURBULENCY!
FECALIZER = Mexican goregrind!!!
Double dose of sick and pathological goregrind!!!
Furious Death Grind from one of the oldest extreme bands in Italy, in the vein of ABORTED, SEVERE TORTURE, CRYPTOPSY, BEHEADED and CANNIBAL CORPSE. Featuring the awesome cover artwork of Mark / Mindrape Art. Includes 9 brand new tracks and 2 taken from their "Promo 2002".
Menstruophagist's first full length is out! Death-grind benevolent madness and meteoric supa-dupa deliciousness have been melt together in a fudge-forged ton of brutal candy addiction. Extreme Music is now extremely sweet and cute!
Modern Brutality since 2006. A new band with a new Sound. After the 'ABSCIENCE' promo, Disphere come out with their first official album 'Shinra Tensei' just imagine a sphere of sound. Imagine the extreme tension of Cephalic Carnage colliding with the progressive structures of Sikth inside this sphere.
Imagine the Meshuggah rythmic patterns pulsating against the Scarve modern surface. And the Cynic solos echoeing all around. Now make this sphere of sound explode in a mental carnage.
Disphere is this explotion.
Born from brothers Michele and Carmine Pirozzi, together with the youg drummer Gabriele, Disphere is a triothat sounds like a legion of screaming demons, creating extreme progressive, yet in your face tracks.
Disphere's first album "Shinra Tensei" is a cocept album that perfectly synthetizes the sound of the band.
Enteirely recorded, produced and mixed by Disphere, at nero sound studio. It will let you get inside this sphere of sound and make you explode with it.
I'm completely new to Italy's Disphere, I'm not surprised in the slightest, but I feel like I've missed out. This is one of the biggest surprises I've had for a long time.
To put it bluntly, Disphere's second album "Shinra Tensei" is like a slightly more straightforward version of Gorguts' "Obscura". That's about as close as I can really get, as "Obscura" was the first thing that came to mind when I first put this on - it's pure death metal that's extremely atmospheric, very melodic and at times completely bizarre with it's timing, technique and progression. Whilst nowhere near as mindfucking insane as the aforementioned Gorguts record, it gives off the exact same vibe at times, though it's certainly a much easier listen because of this. Clean-cut production and thunderous melodic grooves amidst all the chaos help make DIsphere's sound appealing to a more casual death metal fan, with tracks such as 'As Leaves Fall, This Autumn Shall Bleed' showcasing some fantastic memorable riffing despite it's rather emo title, and there're plenty of tempo changes and clean guitars mixed into everything to help break up the pace. Yeah, it's probably nothing you haven't heard before, but it's the sheer quality of the music that matters here - and quality is exactly what you'll find, though such eclectic mixing of styles may not be to everbody's taste.
Yet another brief summary from me, but as usual, there's little to say - try and get a copy of "Shinra Tensei" as soon as possible. Fans of death metal, melodic metal and technical stuff will all find something to appreciate here.
Mince core legend VS Gore grind fucking band from Italy
HYPEREMESIS = Canadian primitive old school goregrind in the vein of MALIGNANT TUMOUR, AUTOPHAGIA.
HYPOPROTHROMBINEMIA = sick filthy disgusting brain eating pathological gorevomit noise with pitshifted vomit gurgling/toilet flushing vocals.
When hatred comes without reason, they will remain a grindcore legend from Belgium. the older the age of band, but their productivity increasingly brutal until now. they offered 17 new songs, studio recording ... bang.. bang.. bang your ears.!!

"We have rented this beautiful home for four winters, staying a little longer each year! The owners keep the house in immaculate condition, adding improvements each year. The layout of the house is very nice with a bed and bath on each end of the house. The kitchen is well equipped, the master bedroom has king-size bed and the second bedroom has a queen. Nice decor, and this year the owners have remodeled the master bath. The backyard is cozy and private with nice outdoor furnishings, including a grill, for mornings with coffee or dinner on the patio. My husband loves all the local golf courses, including Omni, of course, and also the nearby Y as well as miles of walking trails. I enjoyed the local shopping and good restaurants, and, of course, the sunny, warm days, escaping the Illinois winter."Guest: Linda D.

It is conveniently located in a quiet gated community with easy access to the community swimming pool and hot tub. We have had family and friends visit us at various times over the years, and the townhouse has enough room to easily accommodate us and our guests. We never get tired of the view of the Catalina Mountains from the kitchen patio. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. We'll be back next winter."Guest: Larry F.

Drake Cancels Philly Tour Stop an Hour After Show Was Due to Start
The performance may have been called off because the production team arrived late.
This story first appeared on Billboard.com
Drake's new tour? Not off to a great start.
After getting delayed for three weeks, and following rumors that tour-mate Future had been kicked off before it even began, the rapper's Would You Like a Tour? trek kicked off Friday night in Pittsburgh, but Saturday night's show across the state in Philadelphia was been canceled.
The announcement came less than an hour before the show was scheduled to begin, and fans had already been admitted into the Wells Fargo Center, Philly.com reports.
According to InFlexWeTrust's Marisa Mendez, the performance may have been canceled because the production team arrived late and was unable to set up the stage properly, making it unsafe.
More details will be provided as they come.

A multi-billion dollar industry, the world of cosmetics outsells the food industry. It seams hard to believe, but it is true.
A "magic" jar of 1.7 oz. moisturizer costs three times more than the best pound of meat bought at a gourmet store, not to mention that a 0.5 oz. of perfume is more expensive than the same quantity of black caviar.
There you have it; it adds up before your eyes.
The cosmetic industry has been successfully selling the "eternal youth" we are all seeking and their philosophy is based on two premises: fear (of premature aging) and probability (eventually we will all get there).
Aging is a natural process and can't be stopped. With some preventive care, the signs of aging could be slowed down, however, and that is the best we can hope for.
This being said, let's see what is true and what is false about cosmetic products and beauty "miracles."
- Benefits of exfoliation
- Keeping the skin moist
- Nourishing the skin
- Protecting it against external elements
Examining the true statements, scientific research has found that:
- Exfoliation insures removal of dead cells and stimulates production of new ones, giving you a more radiant complexion.
- Keeping the skin moist will make the skin smoother and more malleable.
- Nourishing it will insure a good balance between sebum (oil) and water resulting in a healthier skin.
- Protecting it against external elements will keep the skin healthy and beautiful for a longer time.
- Reversing skin's aging process
- Eliminating wrinkles
- Eliminating dark spots
- Plumping up the skin for better tone
- Eliminating sagging
Examining the false statements, scientific research has found that:
- Reversal of the aging process is "wishful thinking" and will not deliver on its promises.
- Plumping up the skin is strictly a temporary effect obtained through ingredients that will cause an adverse reaction and as such will make the skin swell ever so slightly (for a few hours), giving the impression of erasing fine lines, until the reaction is neutralized by the self-defending mechanism of the body. In professional terminology, this Cinderella effect is called "controlled irritation."
False promises and half-truths are nothing new to an industry that makes its claims carefully. Please notice the language of those claims and you will figure out how vague and subjective they really are: wrinkles appear smoother; the skin will have a more luminous look and a better texture. What does it all mean?
Such claims are entirely based on the well-known fact that "we will see what we want to see"; wishful thinking, combined with inflated egos and our desire to outsmart nature, will easily result in brain washing, playing right in the greedy hands of the cosmetic industry.
Knowing that most consumers are constantly looking for "new and improved products," the industry is ready to satisfy that thirst and is constantly reinventing itself coming out with new products.
By now, we know that collagen and elastine (both are proteins present in the connective tissue) will not penetrate the skin, due to a large molecule.
After years of selling us useless products, the industry came out with new ingredients like Vitamin "C" (extremely unstable and as such ineffective if not used immediately), Vitamin "A" (retinoids as Renova and Retin-A), alpha hydroxy acids (glycolic) and beta hydroxy acid (salicylic), peptide (amino acids), lycopene (carotenoid antioxidant), "coenzyme Q10" (benzoquinone), and many other ingredients. Some are good; some are worthless.
Another myth perpetuated by the industry is the appeal to customers of the magic words: "natural ingredients" and "organic product." Nothing but selling points, those claims have little to do with the effectiveness of the product—just one more deceptive tactic.
Basically, all cosmetic products are more or less similar and the few differences are practically negligible and not worth the additional price. Some of the most reputable companies have been fined for false advertisement and asked to withdraw claims of "wrinkle removing properties" or "improving skin structure."
Recently, some pharmaceutical companies got involved in the profitable world of the skin care industry offering "cosmeceuticals," an ambiguous term intended to give consumers much-needed reassurance by implying pharmaceutical properties.
The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) regulates the pharmaceutical industry and defines drugs as "products that cure, treat, mitigate, or prevent diseases by affecting the structure or function of the human body."
Aging is not a disease. The last thing that the cosmetic industry wants is to be regulated by the watchful vigilance of the FDA. The cosmetic industry prefers its own studies and statistics, the so-called "in house research."
A new marketing technique is gaining popularity: the independent study. Cosmetic manufacturers are conducting their own studies, reaching their own conclusions and presenting the results as facts.
What some of them are saying is outrageous; here is an example: "Out of the eighty-four people in our polling group—raging from twenty-four to sixty-two years of age—fifty-seven individuals showed visible signs of improvement after regularly using the product for a period of three months."
My guess is that the most spectacular "improvements" happened to the ones who needed the product the least in the first place.
Most of what the consumer is paying for when buying cosmetics is not the content of the "magic jar"; it is the packaging, the name of the company, and their expenses related to advertisement.
Knowing that it does not make much sense to buy "La Mar" as opposed to "Origins," since both of them are owned by the same "Estee Lauder Company," as are Clinique, Aramis, Aveda, Prescriptives, Jo Malone, Darphin, Donna Karan, MAC, and Bobbi Brown.
The "in house competition" is well spread and it is meant to give the consumer a false sense of freedom of choice. Let me give you a few more examples:
Revlon owns Almay, Ultima, and Princess Marcella Borghese. The powerful house of L'Oreal owns Garnier, Lancôme, Maybelline, Kerastase, and SkinCeuticals, as well as Matrix, Redken, and Helen Rubinstein.
As if all this was not confusing and misleading enough, a new fad found its way into the cosmetics arena; recently many plastic surgeons and dermatologists are offering their own brand of cosmetics by attaching a label followed by the prestigious MD to ordinary cosmetics and implying therapeutic properties. To escape FDA control, please note that such "miracles" are being sold only to the doctor's regular patients.
When it comes to choosing a skin care product, the "buyer be aware" slogan should be reinforced by an alert and informed costumer.
The long and the short of it all is that the claims and promises of "eternal youth" should be taken with a full box of salt.

Really amazing, I can't stop listening to this song ! But, is this a remix after what ClockworkMonster said ? Where can I find the original, please ?
Rated 3 / 5 stars
Is this a cover of an already existing piece? I'd love to know, as I fell in love with it from the game it featured in! Great work!

Sounds great, but...
I prefer the original version. It had more energy.
In any case, keep the good work. I love your music.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Crazy strings indeed. Extremely well fit for both filmic music as well as something classical for like a chamber or full orchestra. The ethnic bounce in it is just so catchy and beautiful. Wonderful work here!

Editorial Reviews
Library JournalMama, a first novel, tells of a proud black woman, Mildred Peacock, and her five children. After a violent fight, Mildred throws her drunken husband out of the house. On her own in the poor town of Point Haven, Michigan, Mildred scrimps and drinks, works and goes on welfare, struggling to raise her kids and keep her sanity. Mildred's closest bond is to her oldest daughter, Freda, and their lives parallel each other's progress from despair to hope. The book's main weakness is that the author apparently could not decide what to leave out. She also has not decided who her audience is: at times she seems to be writing to blacks, at other times to be explaining things to naive white readers. Although the story has power, it lacks focus and a clear point of view.

I got this question when I was reading
erase-remove idiom (item 32) from Scott Meyers "Effective STL" book.
vector<int> v;
v.erase(remove(v.begin(), v.end(), 99), v.end());
remove basically returns the "new logical end" and elements of the original range that start at the "new logical end" of the range and continue until the real end of the range are the elements to be erased from container.
Sounds good. Now, let me ask my question:
In the above example,
remove can return
v.end() if 99 is not found in the
vector v. It is basically passing
past-the-end-iterator to erase method.
- What happens when
past-the-end-iteratoris passed to the
erasemethod? Does standard says it a UB?
- If it is undefined behavior, then
erase-remove idiomexample in Scott Meyer's book should have looked like:
vector<int> v;
vector<int>::iterator newEndIter = remove(v.begin(), v.end(), 99);
if(newEndIter != v.end() )
v.erase(newEndIter, v.end();
Any ideas on this?

A banned book is a serious matter. There have been books banned in US history. For example, a number of cities banned Elmer Gantry. Further, the federal government at times banned materials in the District of Columbia under the Federal Anti-Obscenity Act, which was better known for banning the use of the US Postal Service to send obscene materials. Those bannings, while rare, did happen. | Read More »

The smoke still belches forth from our endlessly firing guns in Borderlands 2, but Gearbox lost no time swinging straight into toying with more absurd quips, plotlines, and bonkers bandits yelling "Stop yelling at me!" for Borderlands 3, according to a recent video interview with lead writer Anthony Burch.
We were overwhelmed by Borderlands - once we got past the initial levels and finally clicked into the bizarre, nine-toed genius that merged FPS and RPG with such gleeful disregard. It's a hard act to follow, but developers Gearbox are aiming to go above and beyond the original with Borderlands 2.

All Worked Up About The Price Of Beauty
by J.T. Benjamin
As part of my obligation in being a porn pundit, I read a lot of erotica, and lately I've been immersed in Victorian-style sado-masochistic and master-slave novels. It's not that I find that stuff particularly arousing, it's just that it's a dirty job, and SOMEbody's gotta do it.
There's one book I've been reading lately called A Man And A Maid, which is (unfortunately, in my opinion), typical of the S/M genre. Our hero, (The "Man" of the title), has trapped the object of his desire (the aforementioned "Maid"), in a fiendish torture chamber of erotic delights. The poor (virginal, of course), woman's crime is only that she has resisted his advances to date, and he's become tired of her being such a cocktease. So he entraps her, binds her with chains and ropes, strips her naked and over the course of several chapters, subjects her to all manner of sensual and erotic punishments for her prudish ways. She resists at first, but eventually she of course succumbs to her master's cruelties, goes mad with desire, enjoys several rapturous orgasms, and embraces her own sexualities and lustful cravings, eventually becoming a willing partner in his devious machinations.
This is, in my own unscientific opinion, the standard plot of your typical sado-masochistic/master-slave novel, so much so that it's almost become a stereotypical plot device, as predictable as that of the Western novel that climaxes in the two stony figures staring each other down on Main Street, fingers caressing the handles of their six-shooters as the town clock strikes twelve.
Now, as a porn pundit and a general all-around sex enthusiast, I have to admit I'm not too wild about the unwilling-victim-becoming-enthusiastic-co-conspirator plot device in erotic novels. In the first place, it is a cliché, which I abhor as a matter of principle. In the second place, in real life, they've got a name for what happens when someone forces his (or her) sexual attentions upon an unwilling participant.
It's called rape.
Now, I realize that we are talking about fiction, here. I recognize that any halfway decent story requires conflict of some kind, and that it might as well be the victim's internal conflict as anything else, ("Don't! Stop! Don't! Stop! Don't…stop! Don't stop! Don't stop, oh God, don't stop!). I also recognize that some of the legendary erotica of the age depends on this sort of plot element, from the collected works of the Marquis De Sade to those of Anne Rice and her Beauty trilogy. Powerful writing, highly erotic, and very popular.
I of course also realize, and in fact fully embrace the concept of "Different Strokes for Different Folks" and acknowledge that this particular literary device is very popular, and I must also admit that as part of my general credo, if consenting adults get off on reading this stuff, that's their particular kink and it's none of my damn business.
Still, I find the whole subject just…icky, for one very important reason.
In my own humble opinion, one of the fun things about sex is the enormous diversity of turn-ons, kinks, and perversions into which consenting adults indulge when they let their twisted little minds run wild. Just when you think it couldn't get any more exotic, a quick Google search will bring up even more outrageous behaviors that shock, entertain, and can even make one say, "Hmm…that looks like fun." Like the man said, "Kink is using a feather during sex. Perversion is using the whole damn chicken."
But part of what makes it fun is letting one's own tastes and desires run wild, as a matter of taste and choice, and, dare I say, free will. As bizarre and exotic as peoples' tastes can run, I believe there must be limits, even speaking as one who's brought more than one whole damn chicken into the bedroom, metaphorically speaking. (Or was it the living room? The kitchen? The back porch? I honestly don't remember. That whole night was a blur of alcohol, feathers, lubricants and various vibrating utensils).
Where was I? Oh, yes. Limits.
Whenever I discuss sex with one of my Holy Terror friends, I usually proclaim that whatever consenting adults do in their own bedroom (or living room, or kitchen, or back porch), is their own damn business and nobody else's. My Holy Terror friend usually responds with, "So you approve of outrageous things such as child molestations, incest, and all manner of other depravities, do you?"
And I always say, "No. I said, 'whatever CONSENTING ADULTS' want to do is their own damn business. A child, by definition, is not an adult. A rape victim, by definition, does not consent."
It all comes down to free will.
When a person has reached the stage of physical and emotional maturity to which he or she is presumed to know what the hell he or she is doing and to be aware of the consequences of his or her actions, as far as I'm concerned he or she is free to do whatever the hell he or she wants, with whomever he or she wants, wherever he or she wants, with whatever toys, tools, equipment, or other hardware might be available, so long as he, she, and/or they make the CHOICE to do so.
That's where I have problems with A Man And A Maid and other stories of that ilk. Before the willing co-conspirator embraces his or her depravity, he or she starts out as a helpless victim, and it's just too much of a suspension of credibility for me to believe that the victim just had to be (forcibly) exposed to his or her own deviant nature and all that non-consentual stuff is just water under the bridge.
For me, the erotica is just so much more entertaining and arousing to consider that both (or all) the participants are and have been willing and enthusiastic from the very beginning. That's not to say that seductions aren't fun, either. The thrill of the chase can be intoxicating as well, getting from "Dream on" to "Well, maybe" to "Yes" to "Yes, yes, yes, OH GOD, YES!!!!" But there's a difference between seductions and forcing oneself upon another. The first involves skillful and subtle persuasions and the other involves…well…forcing oneself upon an unwilling participant.
On a larger scale, one of the things that sticks in my craw about the Holy Terrors and their War On Whoopie is their complete and total determination to remove the idea of free will from the bedrooms of Americans. No Women's choice. No birth control, no porn, no sex education, no freedom of sexual orientation, no options whatsoever other than man-on-top, within-the bounds-of matrimony, only-for-procreation type sex.
The Holy Terrors' obsession with removing free will has become such an obsession that as Californians have debated this election cycle about whether to re-prohibit gay marriage by passing Proposition 8, most of the pro-homophobia lobby has come from none other than the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The LDS Church has sunk millions of dollars into advertising in support of Proposition 8, (a 'yes' vote would repeal the judicial decision allowing gay marriage), and has taken such an explicit position that the Church's own website states, "As the Proposition 8 campaign in support of traditional marriage enters its last two weeks, the Protect Marriage Coalition is encouraging its members to make phone calls in support of the measure. The Church is participating with the Coalition in support of this endeavor."
Keeping in mind the fact that the LDS Church's headquarters is based in Utah, it's mind-boggling to think that these sanctimonious assholes are so steeped in their own self-righteousness that they feel compelled to deprive consenting adults two states over of the free will to which they're presumably entitled.
The kicker is that most religious faiths place a great premium upon the notion of free will and the matter of choosing to follow a particular creed and/or paying the consequences of one's actions. Eve chose to taste the forbidden fruit. Pandora chose to open the box releasing the world's ills upon mankind. Prince Gautama chose to leave his kingdom of privilege to understand the nature of suffering and to eventually become the Buddha. The LDS Church especially makes a big deal of allowing people to choose their own path to salvation, or in fact to another path that leads, not to salvation as defined by others, but rather toward the idea that one's own choices belong to oneself.
It's as if the Holy Terrors have the rest of us bound and chained, naked, expecting to break us down, not with your usual depravities, but with the concept that some musty old book gives them the right to stifle our own free will, our own choices, our own preferences, so that we'll eventually be overcome and will gladly embrace their way of thinking.
And I'd thought A Man And A Maid was outlandish fiction.

Bottle bomb damages Auburn mailbox; second bomb diffused by robot
AUBURN - The state police bomb squad was called to a Harvard Avenue residence Saturday morning after an unexploded bottle bomb was found at the base of a mailbox.
The night before, another bottle bomb went off inside the mailbox, blowing off its door, according to Capt. Gary Bartis. He said the damaged mailbox at 15 Harvard Ave. and the unexploded device were not discovered until about 10 a.m. Saturday.
Bartis declined to identify the homeowner, but the town's assessor database lists the owners as Kenneth and Lucille M. Geddes.
Trooper First Class Matthew Partington of the New Hampshire Explosives Disposal Unit was called to the scene because of the suspicious device. He used a robot to puncture a hole in the 12-ounce plastic bottle to diffuse it.
Bartis said someone put some tin foil and household cleaner in the bottle and then sealed it. The gas pressure generated from the chemical reaction between the tin foil and cleaner caused the container to expand and explode. Incidents of these chemical reaction bombs, also known as bottle bombs, acid bombs, and MacGyver bombs, generally increase during the warmer seasons, according to police in Keene, which has experienced multiple explosions from the devices over the past two months.
Anyone with information about the Harvard Avenue incident is asked to call police at 483-2134.

The NBA regular season ends tomorrow, and as of now — even with most teams having played 81 of their 82 games — not a single first-round matchup is locked in. It's an incredibly rare situation that promises to bring loads of drama both Tuesday night and especially Wednesday night, as the 2014-15 slate comes to a close. In the West, the complex playoff picture was reasonably summed up in one tweet on Tuesday morning from San Antonio's star guard Manu Ginobili: So,
Fantasy Spin: Probable Westbrook Suspension Affects DFS Too
Every time he steps on the court, Russell Westbrook $11800 creates the most important decision in daily fantasy. Yesterday in a losing cause, he scored 54 points and an amazing 80.8 FPTS at DraftKings, but he may not play in tonight's must-win. [Read more…]

Lopez led the Nets to a 3-1 week from March 30 through April 5 behind team-leading averages of 20.8 points (sixth in the East), 10.3 rebounds (fourth in the East) and 2.0 blocks (tied for fifth). He shot better than 50% in all four of Brooklyn's contests, and ranked seventh in the East for
Fantasy Spin: Cousins, Westbrook & Davis Dominate Daily Play
Some of us are very much alive in two-day contests at DraftKings that conclude with two of tonight's six NBA games. We looked ahead at the "demolition derby" between the Hornets and Heat in yesterday's Spin; it sounds like Bismack Biyombo $4600 will play with a mask for his broken nose and we just don't know about Al Jefferson $6500 (knee.)

The last time something of this magnitude happened, a U.S. president stepped down. But that was during a time when good men who made bad choices still had the intestinal fortitude to accept personal responsibility for their actions. It was also a time when journalists were principled enough to set aside politics to do their job and make politicians accountable.
Some in the mainstream media are reluctantly pulling their heads out of the ground. On May 5, CBS news anchor Bob Schieffer acknowledged the possibility the administration might have been involved in a "cover-up." Others are unenthusiastically following suit because they have no choice. Of course, the illegitimate diehards will remain with their heads in the sand until the storm passes.
As the pieces of this puzzle come together, one thing is certain: Full and honest disclosure is always the best policy. Regardless of how Benghazi pans out, we will discover that either the Obama administration was involved in a cover-up and played us as fools, or our government is run by fools who actually believed the Benghazi attacks were in response to an uprising over an amateurish anti-Islam video by a man now serving jail time for a separate issue. Either way, we lose.
