The Ruins
8 comments:
I'm a total fan of this movie as well. The creep effect was high, the gore well done and I loved the use of the Natives. Those kid did try to warn them..... Sad ending, great story.ReplyDeleteReplies
I tried to get the book on kindle but I couldn't which was annoyingDelete
Really enjoyed this one!
Thanks for reading
I remember seeing this back when it first hit video after many recommendations. I didn't care for it, I found it funnier than anything else.ReplyDeleteReplies
I was waiting for it to slip into unintentionally funny but it never did. The benefits of watching it alone in the dark!Delete
Great review for a fantastic flick. Big fan of it since I first saw it a couple years ago, especially because of the stunningly gruesome amputation scene and the scene where the blonde girl cuts herself.ReplyDelete
Believe it or not: just today I wanted to post a new, extended Ruins review, but due to the death of Jess Franco and the final festival line-up, I skipped it. Looks like you did my job ;-)Replies
Thank you!Delete
I wasn't expecting to like The Ruins as much as I did!
The amputation scene was amazingly well done. The cutting scenes were excellent too especially as the blond girl was really starting to lose her marbles!
Not sure if I saw the extended version or not though
As far as I know, there's no extended version. So the version you saw is the right one. Uncut and gory as hell :)Delete
Btw, my review goes up in a few minutes - incl. a link to your review!
Sorry - I read your last comment wrong! It was your extended Ruins review and not an extended version of Ruins!Delete
Thank you for linking me into your blog! Appreciate it!

Last month, London's Selfridges department store devoted the busiest street corner in Europe to an installation by art and design company Haberdasherylondon. On display on the corner of London's Oxford Street and Orchard Street was 'Untitled 13' – a huge contemporary sculpture made up of 653 pieces of reclaimed Victorian wood, perspex and steel.
Haberdasherylondon explains: "Selfridges was the department store which pioneered the concept of the window display before the First World War. Now the store is pushing the envelope on what a window display can mean. The installations by Haberdasherylondon pose vital questions to the public about the very environment they are in, and invite shoppers to explore the nature of consumerism, ambition and the metropolis."
The six hundred and sixty three columns of carefully sourced reclaimed pine were arranged to build up a sculptural representation of an urban environment. Forming the climax of Selfridges two-year experiment to give a platform to new artists and designers, Haberdasherylondon were the first designers to be given all four windows at once. We love the sculpture and are excited to discover the sustainable focus to this pilot installation!

Before I created this little blog with the lovely Lee I had a small blogspot site called Doodlezilla. I'm an animator by trade and Doodlezilla is a character I created before I left home. This week , since i'm desk warming up a storm, I went back to review the site when I stumbled upon my old Korean bucket list.
With just 50 days left in this lovely country it seems quite fitting to review and see what it is I need to cram into these 50 days before we head off on our travels. I'm quite proud to see how many things I've check off my list since arriving two years ago. It feels like forever since I was sat at my new desk and making this list. It's been a good two years.
So here is my Korean Bucket List:
- Order a meal without knowing what you are asking for.
- Drink Makgoli
- Try Soju
- Go to a Cat Café.
- Have lunch on a beach in Busan
- Go dancing in Seoul
- See the Busan Aquarium
Go to an Orphanage
- Try Shaba Shaba
- Nora Bang with Jess (my uk friend) in Korea
- Use the photo booths
- See Asias biggest Budda (luckily located in Daegu)
- Climb Apsan
- Volenteer at a childrens charity
- Spend Christmas day with my friends
- Spend a summer weekend in the park
- Visit Jeju island
See Sokjoe in the Autum
- Eat Dak Galbi in the home of Dak Galbi
Try K-pole (Korean pole dancing class)

- Kick leaves in the park in Autum
- See the Cherry blossoms.
- Watch Christmas films in a DVD Bang with friends.
- Cook a meal for friends.

Stay in a Buddist temple

Participate in a tea drinking ceremony

- Go to Holi Hai

- Learn my address.
- Order McDonalds to be delivered.
- Dance to Gangnam style in Seoul (Gangnam preferred).
- Buy a Konglish t-shirt.
- Make a Korean friend.
- Visit a random place in Korea on the train.
- Sleep on the floor.
- Stay in a love motel.(recommeded , it was really comfy and so funny)
- learn to like Chap Sal Duk. (as long as I have coffee with it) *edit….I learnt to like it only with coffee about a year ago, now I just like it
- See Japan during vacation.
- See Thailand.
See China. See Taiwan
- Watch Lee swim with sharks in Busan.
- Get eyelashes fitted (?)
- Learn at least 7 student's names.
- Draw every day. (doing well so far)
- Put a lock at the top of Seoul Tower.
- Do yoga (even though its not a Korean thing)
- Cook a Christmas dinner for friends.
- Have a film/games night at the flat.
- Try writing for a magazine
- Try getting paid for my photography work
- Ride a roller coaster.
- Go to a Korean wedding
- Start Roller Derby
- Feel I've really helped at least one student.
- Go Skiing
- See the DMZ
- Travel on the KTX
- Stay up until the first subway
- Make Welsh cakes
- Try an out door gym.
- Eworld
- Ride the duck boats in Susung Lake
- Drink a cocktail from a coconut.
- See the sunrise on the beach.
- See a 4d movie
- See a big korean fireworks display
- See live music in korea.
- Go to a dog café
- Teach elementary school
- Fly to an exotic location for holidays
- Do fancy dress in Korea
- See the Tripataka Koreana
So that is the list. It feels great to have done so many things on it. We still have a few to do. Some such as go to Jeju I unfortunately don't think will happen but we've been to many lovely Korean islands such as Namhae and Geoje so I don't feel like we've missed out too much, it's such a popular destination that it can be an expensive and a busy holiday. The other thing we unfortunately may not do is get to watch Lee swim with sharks…but that's just in Korea. He's upgrading from an aquarium to a cage in Australia….mental boy, you couldn't pay me to do it…jumping out of a plane on the other hand.
In the next two months we have some days off so we are planning on taking a random train up to the home of Dak Galbi and trying that for ourselves, climbing Apsan and maybe putting a lock in Susung lake instead of Seoul since Daegu is our home. This post has also given me a boot and i'll buy kimbap ingredients this weekend and give making it at home a go.
I also have my own little personal 'one more time before I leave list' but that mainly consists of seeing friends and eating my weight in Korean food. I can't believe it's coming to an end.
If you are reading this and thinking about traveling to Korea…do it…DO IT NOW!
What would be on your bucket list? Have you tried any of the things we've listed? Did we miss any huge important Korean 'things to do'? We can't wait to hear from you.

The CATL recently lost one of its most beloved members, Col. Fraser E. West, who passed away January 2nd 2015. Fraser started raising longhorns in 1973 at his ranch Ione, known as The Westhaven Longhorn Ranch. Fraser was founding member of the CATL and previously served as President in 1989-90 and as a Director. His knowledge of the longhorn breed was extensive and respected by all. Fraser was an active breeder for many years, remaining active up to our most recent show last year. He sold his cattle in auctions to breeders all across the country. Fraser was also highly regarded as a judge of longhorn show cattle. His expertise of the finer qualities for longhorn cattle enhanced the knowledge of his fellow breeders. He was a tireless participant in many Texas Longhorn shows. His presence, sense of humor and devotion to the CATL and the longhorn breed were inspirational and will be deeply missed by his many friends in this association.

An external account is a configuration that allows you to configure and test the access to a server that is external to Adobe Campaign.
Other types of external accounts are used by Adobe during product provisioning process. From Campaign Standard 17.9 release, FTP external accounts can still be defined but are no longer usable in new workflow activities. If you already had a connection set up, it is still enabled.
External accounts can be configured by administrators under the Administration > Application settings > External accounts menu.
Adobe Campaign comes with a set of pre-defined external accounts. In order to set up connections with external systems such as FTP servers used for file transfers, you can create your own external accounts.
External accounts are used by technical processes such as technical workflows or campaign workflows. When setting up a file transfer in a workflow or a data exchange with any other application (Adobe Target, Experience Manager, etc.), you need to select an external account.
The external account is created and added to the account list. It is now available for your data/file transfers or routing configurations in workflow activities and delivery properties.
When managing files and data for ETL purposes, these files are stored on a hosted SFTP server provided by Adobe. This SFTP is designed to be a temporary storage space on which you can control retention and deletion of files.
When not correctly used or monitored, this space can quickly fill the physical space available on the server and cause severe problems. It can result in data loss or corruption on your platform.
Also, note that the public IPs from which you are trying to initiate the SFTP connection must be whitelisted on the Campaign instance. Whitelisting of IP addresses can be requested via a support ticket, along with providing the public key to use for authentication.
<S3 bucket name>.s3.amazonaws.com/<s3 object path>
Specify the AWS Region associated to your endpoint. You can check the supported regions and signature versions in the official Amazon S3 documentation .
Create strict bucket policy to restrict access to S3 buckets. Bucket policy can be configured while creating a bucket. For more information, refer to the Amazon S3 documentation.
Grant bucket permissions to specify who can access the object in a bucket. For more information on bucket permission, refer to the Amazon S3 documentation
Adobe Experience Manager external accounts are used when integrating Campaign with Experience Manager.
Process and requirements related to this integration are available in this document.

Headed to Portland? Eat here.
Now that the news is out, there's one question I'm getting left and right: DO YOU HAVE ANY CRAVINGS?
Honestly, this cracks me up, folks. I'm not sure what everyone's expecting… pickles and ice cream? Sorry to disappoint, but there's none of that going on. But – there are a few dishes I would practically kill for. Unfortunately for my cravings (although perhaps fortunately for my waistline?), are all dishes from restaurants in Portland.

Hello, my lovely blog friends, let's take the new challenge at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. This week, let's make Christmas tree!
I created a desktop Christmas Decor using Tim Holtz Woodland Trees and Prima Flowers Lumies Light Strand.
This project was started with on a 4" X 6" canvas panel. I applied Modeling Paste on the canvas for the snow like texture.
The Christmas trees were colored with Distress Spray Stain, and decorated with Prima Flowers Lumies Light Strand. I also glued some Idea-Ology Frozen Findings and Christmas Brad Fasteners on the trees.
The reindeers were stamped and cut out, then colored using watercolors. The 2016 alpha parts were adhered between the trees and reindeers. I really enjoyed creating Christmas decor and love the beautiful lights on these trees. Hope you got inspired to create and join us for this week's challenge.
Supply List:
You have until Monday 8am Ohio time. 1pm UK time, 2 pm CET to join in. Have fun!
I really appreciate you stop by my blog and hope you all have a wonderful week.

Working and play
Hmm, this blogging thing doesnt seem be going to well does it lol. I think i'm writing a post about once a year! Anyway what's been going on in my world? Well I just changed jobs again. I now work in bank in London . It's no ideal but it pays well, and in this economic climate, I can't complain really.
I do hope to get into making online games at some point, although i've been saying that for what appears to be five years! Will it happen? I don't know but i'll keep making the games in my spare time, and hopefully sell a few to som flash websites. Actually I've been playing a fair few games lately in my spare time, such as some tower defense games cycling games and quite a zombie shooters.
The tower games are a particular favourite of mine, as they remind me of the old favourites on the c64 and zx spectrum. Those of you who remember the game will remember the old school cool graphics. They really were a fun defense games back in the day, and i still searching for something similar online.
Anyway I hope to start posting more often, as ive been slacking lately and alot of interesting things are about to happen in the coming weeks. So... stay tuned! :)

January – ILLUMINATION
February – FORWARD
March – LOST IN THE DETAIL
April – CULTURE / FAVORITES
May– PATTERN
June – THE WORLD THROUGH MY EYES / CURVES
July – THE GOLDEN HOUR
August – CAREFREE
September – UNUSUAL POV
October – HORIZON
November – LET THERE BE LIGHTS
December – GRAND
This year, I decided to discontinue participating to Weekly Photo Challenge. Check out the similar post pattern last year – WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGES 2013. I still think the challenges are great tools to motivate and instill post ideas and creativity, to keep up with your blogging frequency, and, in many ways, get in the WP community. Especially for beginners, I really advise the writing and photo challenges.
All images are from my posts this year only. That is with the exception of July. I took those from Sunset View Park in Okinawa. All images were taken from either California or Okinawa, Japan.
I want to extend my gratitude to all of you who became part of this blog. Thank you for the appreciation, for following my travels and adventures, for sharing your thoughts, and for those of who shared my posts to other portals like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. I love the fact that even though I was away for 4 straight months, and then I came back and still have an abundance of friendship, loyalties and support from all of you who visit my blog. That was such an amazing thing, a relief and a joy.
My Top Ten posts that were posted this year can be seen in the front page and will remain there for the first half of January. #1 is PEOPLE.
Thank you so much. Happy New Year! Arigato Gozaimas. Akemashite Omedetou!

Remember Knight Rider and KITT from the 80's?
If you don't, well Honda is working on bringing us 'back to the future' by developing artificial intelligence (AI) for vehicles so that it can converse and share experiences with its drivers in order for both to form a stronger bond.
Sounds so hi-tech and futuristic?
Not anymore.
Honda R&D Co., Ltd. has announced that it will partner with SoftBank Corp. to create an 'emotion engine' for mobility products.
This new branch of operation will focus primarily on research and development of intelligent technologies at the Honda R&D Innovation Lab Tokyo in Akasaka, Tokyo by September 2016.
The goal of both Honda and Softbank is to enable the vehicle to use information gathered from conversations with the driver, and data from various sensors and cameras around the vehicle in order to understand the emotion of the driver and to engage in the dialogue with the driver from the perspective of what the vehicle is feeling.
Aside from the obvious benefits of artificial intelligence, which include mood sensing, driver recognition and more, this technology will allow the driver and vehicle to create a strong bond formed by shared experiences together.
Honda's goal is to create new relationships between people and mobility products.

Being an arrogant Tea Party governor means never having to apologize for being corrupted and taking bribes. That fact was made public by The Kansas City Star article "Brownback donor's Mississippi company gets Kansas child support contract."
According to the article;
"A Mississippi company run by one of Gov. Sam Brownback's donors has been awarded one of the four contracts to privatize Kansas child support enforcement.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reported that the Kansas Department for Children and Families announced Friday that Jackson, Miss.-based YoungWilliams Child Support Services was awarded one of the contracts. Company CEO Robert Wells and his wife, Pam, both gave maximum $2,000 donations to Brownback's campaign."
Not only is Browback openly awarding contracts to those companies who have paid him off (bribery) but he is out to privatize government agencies that need to concentrate on the welfare of children and not on profiting off of people's problems. The idea of privatizing these sensitive agencies that deal with child welfare is outright ridiculous. It is criminal to allow people to profit from other people's tragedies. How do we know that a for-profit corporation is going to care about anything other than their bottom line of making money? Fairness will be a thing of the past since child support enforcement will now be about collecting money and fees only. Justice is now a commodity to buy and sell here in Kansas.

Eastern Wake News
Club keeps 'dying' art alive
When Carolyn Smith was a child, her mother would gather outgrown clothes, flour and seed sacks and spend the fall quilting to be ready for the winter weather.
Most families back then relied on small wood-burning heaters to stay warm, said 67-year-old Smith. The family needed quilts.
Now, in a time when quilts are regularly stocked at stores and central heating is the norm, Smith quilts for fun.
"All of my quilts go to my family," she said. Her grandchildren have had a handmade quilt from her for every bed they've had since 2000, when she started quilting.
Some of them were on display at the Pins and Needles Quilting Club's show at Riley Hill Baptist Church last weekend. The group of about 12 has members from Riley Hill Baptist as well as other nearby churches.
Founder Sharon Barrow said the club helps bring back an old tradition.
"We picked it up because now it's an art, not so much a neccesity," she said. The group quilted together for a long time, but the club became official in 2004.
Pins and Needles member Ann Thomas said pursuing quilting as an art instead of a neccesity doesn't change much– except the price and quality of material.
"It's more expensive (now)," Thomas said. "You can afford to buy pretty fabric, you're not just using old clothes you have around the house."
Thomas said the time and price of materials for her quilts vary. Her first quilt, which was started at the prompting of her sister, ended up as a queen size quilt.
"No one told me when to stop," she said. Most of Thomas' fellow quilters shy away from making a quilt that big, preferring to make quilts that are about the size of a double bed.
Barrow spends about a month on one quilt. She has to pick a pattern, find fabric and then begin working. The club also asks members to complete certain patterns, but individuals can pick fabrics to make them unique.
Each year, the club also picks a color and members make a quilt using that color. This year the color was purple and Barrow said it looks like 2015 will be the year of orange quilts.
Barrow said she started quilting because it was something all the women in her family did. As a member of Riley Hill Baptist just outside of Wendell, she began a ministry project where she made get-well packages for sick church members. Each kit included one quilt.
Barrow said most of the club members don't sell their quilts because the price would be too high after factoring in the cost of materials and labor.
"It's more gratifying (to give them away)," she said. Occasionally, members like Thomas will make quilts on commission, but she said a recent quilt made for a crib was over $100.
Removing the potential for income makes the club a more peaceful environment, Barrow said. Quilters are free to focus on their skill and craft, not the number of quilts they're able to produce.
"There's no competition, they just pat each other on the back if they do a fancy stitch," she said.

Molly's Game (15)
Directed by Aaron Sorkin
THE RISE and fall of entrepreneur Molly Bloom — the "Poker Princess" — who ran the world's most exclusive high-stakes poker game for a decade before being apprehended by the FBI is depicted in this slick, stylish and absolutely engrossing directorial debut feature by writer Aaron Sorkin.
Based on Bloom's memoirs, it's a warning against the seductions of power and fame, and it's peopled by Hollywood A-listers, sports stars, business tycoons and, unbeknown to her, members of the Russian mob who attend her games.
There are $100 million losses, Mafia hitmen and FBI raids as the excitement and tension build, but Sorkin also highlights the pitfalls of greed and mingling with the rich, the powerful and the overprivileged.
Jessica Chastain gives another powerhouse performance as the driven Bloom, as does Idris Elba as her attorney.
Sorkin's smart and razor-sharp screenplay captures the heart and soul of Bloom's book, matched by Chastain's rounded and nuanced depiction of this single-minded young businesswoman.
A former Olympic-class skier, whose career was cut short following a severe accident, she's from an overachieving family — one of her brothers is a Harvard surgeon, the other a double Olympic ski champion — who was drilled by her father, played brilliantly by Kevin Costner, to be the best. Hence her determination to be number one in her chosen field.
The real identities of the rich and famous are protected, with Michael Cera starring as Player X, the manipulative Hollywood star who ends Bloom's successful run in Los Angeles before she headed off to New York.
The good news is you don't need to be a poker player to follow the action in what's an extraordinary and complex story, compellingly told.

"SICCIN 2" (IIFFF Movie Review)Home,Movies/TV,News,Reviews Michael Gingold
It makes for a hell of a trailer, but if you've seen the widely posted preview for SICCIN 2, you've seen all the good parts (and if you've watched it with subtitles, you've had most of the plot reveals spoiled).
A Turkish horror film that just had its international premiere at the Ithaca International Fantastic Film Festival, SICCIN 2 doesn't appear to require prior knowledge of the first SICCIN, whose title translates to "Book of Sins" (suggesting each movie is and possibly will be a different "chapter"). The sequel's introductory minutes inform us that its story is inspired by actual events in and around the Issiz Cuma cemetery, where separate plots have inexplicably joined together—which is a pretty accurate description of SICCIN 2 itself.
With its digital-video cinematography that sometimes looks like video and histrionic acting, SICCIN 2 suggests a supernatural telenovela in a different language and with sporadic gore added. The melodrama is kicked off by the sudden, tragic, shocking (and, depending on your frame of mind, appallingly hilarious) death of a baby named Birol, which shatters the happy marriage of his parents, Hicran (Seyda Terzioglu) and Adnan (Bulut Akkale). That moment sets a high bar for outrageousness that the rest of the film can't match, no matter how much blood and sudden flashes of possessed/deranged faces director Alper Mestci throws at us.
For the most part, though, the script by Mestci and Ersan Ozer concerns itself with hand-wringing and grieving over poor deceased Birol and other crises, doling out the gross-outs in only occasional short bursts typically not much longer than those seen in that trailer. Nightmares and waking visions lead Hicran to believe she's being afflicted by the supernatural, and she seeks the counsel of a holy man named Abdullah (Yavuz Cetin, giving the movie's best performance). From there, she follows a trail that leads to an abandoned, "possessed" house and the gradual parceling out of dark secrets from her family past. Eventually, one character decides the mystery has gone on long enough and steps forward to deliver lengthy exposition intended to tie together the bits of horrific imagery that have been scattered throughout the preceding hour and change.
The storyline never coheres in a satisfying manner, though, and SICCIN 2 ends up being a grab bag of plot devices and scary stuff familiar from other movies. Once in a while, Mestci throws in a specific reference to a past film (Adnan, a hotel clerk, is seen giving a guest the key to Room 237), but for the most part, he recycles generic tropes from THE EXORCIST through J-horror and onward, and those in-your-face horrific moments that pack such a punch when crammed together in the trailer become diluted when spread out amongst a been-there-seen-that narrative. SICCIN 2 never becomes a chore to sit through, and lands a few jolts amidst well-caught local atmosphere, but as a representative product from an emerging foreign genre-film scene, it doesn't explore any especially distinctive or interesting ground. Really, the best way to experience it can be seen below, if you haven't already…

Greenspeed trikes are designed for everyday use, year in, year out, and should last a lifetime. However they are designed and built by humans, not robots, and if they were designed to be unbreakable, many would complain they were too heavy. Plus in order to meet the ever growing expectations from customers, we have a policy of continuous development so we cannot continue to make the same design forever. Thus while there are many Greenspeed trikes in use today that were built over twenty years ago, the frame warranty for all Greenspeed Trikes is for ten years from the original date of purchase, and is activated by registering your trike on our web site. This warranty only applies to the 1st owner, and if the unthinkable happens, and the original type of frame in no longer available, you may need to upgrade to a later model, and may be charged for any new Greenspeed specific components unique to that frame.
Warranty replacements are limited to faults caused by defective workmanship and materials, and do not include damage due to misuse, overloading, wear and tear, abuse, neglect, faulty assembly, lack of maintenance, modifications, accidents, commercial use, or racing. This warranty does not include the paint/finish, nor attached components, e.g. drive train parts, hubs, rims and tyres, made by other manufactures, e.g. Shimano. These may be covered by the individual manufactures and are normally for one year.
Any warranty claims must be presented to the place of purchase. Greenspeed reserves the right examine any faulty component to establish the cause of failure, and the right to elect to repair or replace. The owner shall be responsible for any labour, transport or travel costs associated with the repair or replacement. In order for Greenspeed and its partners to examine and learn from any failures, the damaged part must be returned to Greenspeed as a condition of this warranty. However Greenspeed will provide free return shipping of any warranty replacement part or repaired part.
Like driving a car or riding a bike, riding a trike can result in injury or death, especially if due care is not exercised. Thus by riding a Greenspeed trike the rider is assuming full responsibility for any injury and/or damage to property which may arise, and shall indemnify Greenspeed from any resulting financial loss. Thus Greenspeed shall not be responsible for any injuries, damages or losses, financial, emotional, or any other type whatsoever, without limitation, arising from the performance of our machines, to the owner or any 3rd party.
Greenspeed is solely focused on getting more people riding, in preference to driving to reduce the pollution on our small planet, and to improve the physical health and wellbeing of our customers. So if you feel you have a warranty issue, please contact your dealer or us, and we will do the best we can to fix it.

If your Easter joy is beginning to sag a bit, just check out today's readings. The scene is Solomon's Portico just after Peter has cured the lame man. As the man leaps for joy, a very large crowd gathers. Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, declares that it is God who has worked this miracle, and that what they have seen is another proof that the man, Jesus, whom they crucified, was truly God's Son. We can imagine how those words must have pierced many hearts with terrifying guilt. They were the ones who had cried "Crucify him!" just a short time ago. What were they to do?
Peter's words reassure them. Since they acted out of ignorance, God offers them salvation if they repent and believe. They must be baptized in his Name, and in the Father and the Holy Spirit. And they must spread the Word. This is the mission of every follower of Jesus!
The Gospel is even more exciting. This is Luke's account of the commissioning of the apostles. Scene one takes place in the upper room, where the two disciples to whom Jesus appeared on their way to Emmaus have just returned, breathless and bursting with the news that Jesus is alive. Even as they speak, Jesus suddenly appears to the whole assembly, throwing them into consternation and fear. With powerful persuasion, Jesus convinces them that he is not a spirit, but a human person, very much alive. He asks them for something to eat. They give him a piece of baked fish which he eats in their presence!
Scene two; from the upper room, Jesus leads them out to Bethany where the crowd had acclaimed him as king. According to Luke, Jesus ascends from here and disappears into the heavens.
The greater news is that Jesus is still with us - in the Eucharist, in the Spirit that dwells within us, and in our loving encounters with one another.
If we allow the worries of this world and our doubts to dominate our thoughts we are not living in the light of the Risen Lord. We are reflecting the attitude of the disciples to whom Jesus said, 'Why are you so agitated? And why are these doubts rising in your hearts?' Jesus is here, supporting and strengthening us, keeping us on the journey that will inevitably lead to fullness of life, if only we are faithful.
With that conviction, may we grow even more as Easter people, and may 'Alleluia' be our song!

Grafton Big Breakfast bonus for Macmillan
Published: 20 September, 2011
UK: Builders, plumbers, tradesmen and members of the public enjoyed a hot cuppa and a bacon butty at 15 branches of Buildbase, Plumbase and Jackson Building Centres to celebrate World's Biggest Coffee Morning in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.
Staff at the builders and plumbers merchants provided hot refreshments in return for a donation to Macmillan.
Although the national World's Biggest Coffee Morning is not being held until the end of September, the 15 branches held the event to publicise the coffee morning in advance. Events were staged at sites across the UK from Shetland to Portsmouth. Many of Grafton Merchanting GB's other branches will be holding their Big Breakfast events later this month.
GMGB has adopted Macmillan as its national charity partner in 2011, Macmillan's centenary year. Funds will go towards the Macmillan Support Line, a free phone service manned by cancer support specialists, providing support to 1000 people affected by cancer every day.
"Macmillan's coffee morning is such a well-known annual fundraiser but we wanted to make it appropriate for our customers. They always welcome a big mug of tea or coffee in the morning and we thought it would be a good idea to add some breakfast refreshments as part of our take on the World's Biggest Coffee Morning," says Andy Williams, managing director of Jackson Building Centres.
Catriona Munn from Macmillan Cancer Support says: "I'd like to thank all staff and customers who have a hot cuppa and some breakfast as they are contributing to towards the GMGB fundraising for Macmillan. All money raised through Big Breakfast events will help people affected by cancer. What a hearty way to start the day."
Now in its 21st year, 'The World's Biggest Coffee Morning' is Macmillan's flagship fundraising event which this year aims to raise £8.5 million (www.macmillan.org.uk/coffee). Follow the World's Biggest Coffee Morning on twitter @macmillancoffee and share your event using the hashtag #coffeemorning.

PEORIA, IL -- The Peoria District 150 School Board on Sept. 25 took a great step to protect immigrants, both students and parents, regardless of their documented status, when it passed a resolution to protect them from deportation officials.
Read the details of the Save Haven Resolution here.
The public comments included an interesting report from Sharon Crews, below.
Here are recordings of the comments:
Download D150 Sept 25 comments (2)
Download D150 Sept 25 comments (1)
The comments were in two parts, one on the budget, the other the regular agenda item.
Activist Terry Knapp commented on the budget, and he repeated his point that the closing of Woodruff High School caused turmoil for the students who now have to be bused, an increased expense for the district.
In addition, Glen Oak and Harrison were supposed to be community schools with 650 students, but instead are overcrowded, he said.
Sevino Sierra complained about travel expenses and said the physical plant needs improvement.
The regular comment period featured Knapp who said block scheduling at Manual Academy has failed, and the high school bands at Manual and Peoria Central are "pathetic." The music programs apparently were allowed to wither away under the previous superintendents.
Knapp also said that under Grenita Lathan, teachers at Peoria Central were given bonuses from a grant when the money should have been spent on the school and its students. Meanwhile a field at Manual with a track is too short for football to be played there. (How did that happen?)
Crews report included the stunning figures of 76 openings for teachers, and 97 teacher resignations last year. "Why did they leave?" she asked. Are exit interviews done? "Keller is the only school that did not lose teachers," she said. Manual has a very high turnover rate, and that means no stability at the school, she said.
Zack Gittrich, the leader of the group NoBanNoWall, said Peoria has 9,000 immigrants and likely 3,000 are undocumented. He advocated for the Safe Haven Resolution, and said it will affect thousands of people, both students and their families, and help relieve their fears.
Sierra, who is a Mexican born in the USA, criticized President Trump and his policies on immigrants. "We should find a way to calm down the president or get rid of him. He's causing too much trouble," he said.
I noticed and commented on the atmosphere in the meeting, which was jammed with children of all ethnic backgrounds receiving reading awards. It's welcoming, and such a contrast with the previous superintendent who ruled by fear. Amazing. Democracy works at the local level in Peoria.
-- Elaine Hopkins
Here is the report from Sharon Crews:
Tonight I have given you my compilation of data from the Human Resource reports from February to September 11. I organized the data by school, listing the positions open because of resignations, retirements, and dismissals. The names of new hires are listed in the "Replacement" column.
As a bit of an aside, I recall a presenter mentioning that more advanced methods of teaching today ask students to answer "why" and "how" questions instead of the simple "who," "what," "when," and "where" questions. I took exception to that criticism of older teaching methods because, of course, we did regularly include the harder questions. The Human Resource data on agendas answer only the simpler questions. Now I am going to ask the "why" and "how" questions.
I believe that this board is more interested in the "whys" and "hows" of educational decisions than were previous board members. I look forward to hearing more of those questions and the answers this year now that you are all more acclimated to the complexities of issues that appear on agendas.
My data on pages 1-4 lists, by school, the 120 positions that needed to be filled because of resignations, retirements, or dismissals. I matched the positions listed for new hires with the positions of the teachers who left. My pairings may not be accurate, but the data does account for all those who left the district and the new hires—except for tonight's data.
There were no matches for 76 openings. I have given you a three-page spread sheet with the same information but put in order by subject matter. However, on pages 5-7, sixty-three new hires are listed for additional openings—those not created by resignations.
Now for the harder questions. Were exist interviews requested by the administration and provided by the 97 teachers who resigned? How many years did each of them teach in our schools? The most important question is "why" did each leave? If no attention is paid to the reasons we are losing teachers, history will continue to repeat itself. A new Manual band director resigned after one day. Rumor has it that she left because of discipline problems she observed and/or because she was surprised by the small size of the band.
I was sad to find that unfilled positions include two band, one chorus, one orchestra, and three music teachers. How was our exemplary music program destroyed in such a relatively short time?
Are the new hires listed on pages 5-7 filling positions that were not filled last year? Or are they new positions made necessary by a change in enrollment or for some other reason? The most obvious and urgent question is how will teachers be provided for the 76 positions for which teachers have not been hired?
Kellar is the only school that did not lose any teachers or require new teachers. I have given you one spread sheet that shows that some schools have considerably more turnover than other schools do. Manual is one of those schools. In 2003-2005, a significant number of us retired. A few years later the Johns Hopkins program demanded that 2/3 of the faculty be replaced. Since then, Manual has never had a stable faculty. The yearly turnover at several schools certainly is a probable cause for discipline problems and other educational inadequacies. Please ask for help from teachers and the community in seeking solutions to these problems. - 30 -

Employment, Growth and Development
A Post-Keynesian Approach
Edited by Claude Gnos, Louis-Philippe Rochon and Domenica Tropeano
Chapter 6: Still Unemployed, After All These Wage Cuts. Labor in Europe
Engelbert Stockhammer
Engelbert Stockhammer INTRODUCTION Much as in the rest of the world, the late 1970s and early 1980s marked a watershed in European politics. Unlike in the USA or the UK, neoliberalism in continental Europe did not come with an outright assault on labor unions. Notably, important transformations were initiated not by national governments, but by supranational organizations and central banks. The Single European Act, signed in 1986 and effective in 1992, opened national economies and established a competition policy that rules out industrial policy and prevents state-owned enterprises from being subsidized for employment policy. International capital flows were liberalized as part of the European Monetary System (EMS). The Bundesbank dominated the EMS throughout the 1980s and dictated a high real interest rate, which high-inflation countries had to top in order to maintain stable exchange rates. In the 1990s the Bundesbank was succeeded by the European Central Bank, and the Stability and Growth Pact (SGP) shaped monetary and fiscal policies. One of the most important outcomes of these policies was the rise and the persistence of unemployment. Unemployment in the euro area was around 2 percent in 1970 but increased to (and above) 8 percent after 1981. A second important development has received less publicity: wage growth has consistently lagged behind productivity growth in this period, which amounts to a substantial redistribution of income between capital and labor.1 Critical economists have frequently blamed monetary and fiscal policies for these developments, but few quantitative assessments of their relative impact exist. Ideally one...

On the trail of gooey goodness
Who created it? When? Where? Who makes the best? What are acceptable ingredients? Which is most authentic?
Whether it's French ratatouille, Italian ragu Bolognese, Mississippi ribs or New York reubens, regional specialties inspire passionate loyalties and provoke arguments that could rival a debate between Sarah Palin and Ralph Nader.
So it is with gooey butter cake.
Few doubt that St. Louis gave birth to gooey butter cake. Who gave it birth is another story.
Indignant St. Louisans complain that the Food Network's Paula Deen's claim of ownership is false, and they have a long record of verifiably venerable St. Louis bakeries that made gooey butter cake for decades to prove it. St. Louis legend says that a German baker (probably in the 1930s) discovered the cake by happy accident, either reversing the proportions of flour and butter or simply using the wrong proportions for the filling/topping.
The website whatscookingamerica.net has testimonials from two St. Louisans who each claim that their father created gooey butter cake.
The first is from Richard Danzer, who wrote in 2006:
In late 1942 or early 1943, Johnny Hoffman of St. Louis Pastries Bakery… made what eventually turned out to be Gooey Butter Cake. … it was a mistake! He subsequently called Herman Danzer, my dad, and told him he thought he may have something and asked to come to my dad's shop[Danzer's Bakery] … to see if they could duplicate it.
… through many trials and errors [they] got it pretty good. The final batch they made, my dad suggested they add glycerin to get it really gooey. When [my mom, Melba Danzer] tried it she said "this sure is gooey" subsequently, the name.
The information I have is from my mother who worked with him from 1939 to 1957. This is the best I can do, so the true story will remain a matter of conjecture.
The next came from Marilyn Koppe Galati in 2008:
My father, John Koppe, a St. Louis baker… developed the Gooey Butter Cake in the early 1940s. My father was a Master Baker, and he owned Koppe Bakery during World War II.
The Gooey Butter Cake was a smash hit with customers. The lines of customers spilled out the door and around the block. This cake was very gooey, rich, and exceptionally delicious! You could eat it with a spoon! The top was sprinkled with powdered sugar and the edge was slightly crispy to hold it together – almost like a pudding.
As far as I know, my father "created" the gooey butter cake. I was a child then and do not remember the year but it was well before 1950. There is no proof that I know of about the creator of the recipe, but it could have been an accident… my parents are deceased and no records were kept. It's all just childhood memories. I… remember how the store would be packed with customers, and the popularity of the Gooey Butter Cake. The cakes produced today do not taste anything like dad's."
These days the base layer often is made with a cake batter – a variation developed to make it easier for home bakers that also often uses cream cheese in the filling. But there's general consensus that the bakery originals used a yeast dough base. Everyone also agrees that gooey butter cake was – and is – typically eaten as a coffee cake, not as a dessert – at least in St. Louis.
Before long it migrated to Springfield, and gooey butter cake – sometimes simply called butter cake – was being made by several local bakeries and developing a host of devotees. One of the most popular was Rechner's. "That gooey butter cake from Rechner's is one of my best childhood memories," says Ed Selinger. "We'd get two on a Sunday morning, and by the time we got home there'd be just one left. My mom wouldn't let us get it every week, but when she did – boy, that was as good as going to the State Fair!"
After Rechner's closed in the 1980s, there were many requests for the recipe. The Rechner family did give it out, as did others claiming to have spinoffs of their recipe, but apparently none included the actual yeast dough – frozen bread dough was most typically called for. Donna Rechner (whose husband, Bill, came from a branch of the family that was not associated with the bakery) laughs when she recalls an incident that happened several years after Rechner's had closed:
"We belonged to the Telephone Pioneers [a charitable group of phone company retirees, back when there was just one phone company], and we were asked to contribute to a bake sale at the Willard Ice Building. They told us to put our names on our items. I made my butter cake recipe – it wasn't related at all to Rechner's bakery, and I didn't think a thing about it at the time – but when people saw that name, there was just a stampede!"
The Rechner descendants with whom I spoke were surprised to learn that gooey butter cake originated in St. Louis. Not so Harold and Becky Figge. That's because the Figges moved from their native St. Louis in 1958 and bought Springfield's B and Z Bakery. Harold brought along his recipe for gooey butter cake. "People here were used to a version that was thinner than the St. Louis style, so I made them both." The two were similar – using a yeast dough base – and were among his best sellers until the Figges retired and closed B and Z in 1988.
Last November, gooey butter cake hit the big time in the Big Apple when New York Times food writer Melissa Clark wrote about negotiating for the last piece at the Made By Molly stand at the Park Slope Farmers Market in Brooklyn. A friend had told her about it, saying "It's yeasty on the bottom, like a babka, and sweet and gooey on top, like cheesecake but stickier," she said. "It melts in your mouth." The guy in line ahead of Clark had bought the last piece; she traded a brownie and two coconut bars for it. Readers who made the gooey butter cake recipe included in the article swooned with delight in online posts; a couple months later it appeared on The Hungry Mouse, a website recommended by Saveur magazine, and received equally rave reviews.
These days the cake batter/cream cheese version – sometimes with flavor variations – is as common in bakeries as with home cooks, and often has its own history. The family recipe used by St. Louis' Gooey Louie dates back four generations. "It's more home-style" says co-owner Debbie Stieferman. "We use the best quality ingredients, and everything – both the base and the filling – is made from scratch; not like Paula Deen, who uses a mix." Gooey Louie (http://www.gooeylouiecake.com/) makes 10 different varieties from traditional, blueberry, nut, amaretto, to chocolate raspberry. The cakes are sold at their store at 6483 Chippewa (conveniently located just a half mile east of Ted Drewes Frozen Custard stand, so you can get two of STL's sweetest traditions in one visit) and can also be ordered online or by phone and shipped.

Molly Killen's St. Louis gooey butter cake
Molly Killeen, owner of Made By Molly, is a St. Louis native who for years was pastry chef at NYC's renowned Amy's Bread. Her recipe harks back to the original bakery gooey butter cakes; she also reworked hers to be somewhat less sweet – something I appreciate, having found several versions I've tried cloyingly sweet.
- 1 3/4 tsp. active dry yeast
- 3 tablespoons sugar, divided
- 5 T. milk
- 6 T. unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 tsp. salt, preferably kosher
- 1 large egg
- 1 3/4 c. all-purpose flour OR substitute King Arthur white whole-wheat flour for all or part of the all-purpose flour
- 3 T. plus 1 tsp. light corn syrup
- 1 T. pure vanilla extract
- ¾ c. (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 c. sugar
- 1/2 tsp. salt, preferably salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Powdered sugar, for sprinkling.
In a small bowl, mix the yeast and 1 T. of the sugar. Warm the milk for a few seconds in the microwave, and stir into the yeast/sugar mixture. Let stand for about 5 minutes. It should start to bubble up. If it doesn't, the yeast is inactive. Discard it and begin again with fresh yeast.
Using an electric mixer with paddle attachment, cream the butter, remaining sugar and salt. Scrape down the bowl and beat in the egg. With the mixer on low, add the yeast/milk mixture and the flour. Raise the speed to medium and beat until it forms a smooth mass and pulls away from sides of bowl, 7 to 10 minutes.
Lightly spray a 9-inch x13-inch baking pan or dish at least 2 inches deep with cooking spray. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the pan and form a slight edge of dough around the rims. Cover with plastic wrap or lint-free towel, put in a warm place, and let rise until doubled. This can take anywhere between 1 to 2 hours, depending on the ambient temperature.
Preheat oven to 350º.
While the dough rises, prepare the topping: In a small bowl, mix corn syrup with 2 tablespoons water and the vanilla until they are thoroughly combined. Using an electric mixer with paddle attachment, cream butter, sugar and salt until light and fluffy, 5 to 7 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat in the egg. Turn the mixer to low and beat in the corn syrup mixture and then the flour, scraping down the sides of the bow as needed.
Spoon the topping in large dollops over risen dough, then use a spatula to gently spread it in an even layer. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes; cake will rise and fall in waves and have a light golden brown top, but will still be liquid in center when done. Cool in the pan before sifting powdered sugar over the top for serving.
Yield: 16 to 24 servings.
This recipe is adapted from one that appeared in the Nov. 4, 2009, edition of the New York Times.

Should Your Product Connect To The Internet Of Things?
Thanks to widespread Internet adoption and over 10 billion connected devices around the world, companies today are more excited than ever about the Internet of Things. Add in the hype about Google Glass and the Nest Thermostat, and nearly every business, including those from traditionally low-tech industries, wants to get on the cloud, track a group of devices, and gather data. The question, however, is not if a device can be connected, but why the company is connecting a previously "dumb" product to the cloud. Or stated differently, if a company invests in making my toaster talk to my lawnmower, is that really a good business decision and why?

Nov 21 (Reuters) - Taiwan's Foxconn aims to cut 20 billion yuan ($2.88 billion) from expenses in 2019 as the company faces "a very difficult and competitive year", Bloomberg reported on Wednesday, citing an internal memo.
Foxconn, formally known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd, counts Apple Inc as one of its top customers for assembling iPhones.
Apple had warned earlier this month that its holiday sales would miss Wall Street expectations due to weakness in emerging markets, including India, and foreign-exchange costs. (Reporting by Arjun Panchadar in Bengaluru; Editing by Arun Koyyur)

Hong Kong, : The deputy chief of Indonesia`s most powerful anti-corruption body was arrested Friday over allegations he interfered in a legal case, police said, sparking protests outside the agency headquarters.
The shock arrest of Bambang Widjojanto, second-in-charge at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), comes about a week after the agency accused a high-ranking police general of corruption, postponing his appointment as the country`s new police chief.
National police spokesman Ronny Sompie said Widjojanto, who was being questioned at police headquarters in Jakarta, could face seven years in prison if found guilty of the allegations.
The arrest has drawn criticism that the police are trying to hinder a government clampdown on corruption in Indonesia, which new President Joko Widodo has made a cornerstone of his leadership.
Sompie said Widjojanto was accused of ordering witnesses to give false evidence during a 2010 constitutional court challenge to a local election result.
"We have enough strong evidence of his suspected involvement in the case," he said.
"We don`t know yet whether he will be detained after questioning or not. It all depends on today`s questioning."
Sompie insisted the investigation was focused on Widjojanto and unrelated to the KPK, an institution that has butted heads with police in the past.
The KPK this month launched a corruption investigation into three-star general Budi Gunawan, who just days earlier had been named the sole pick for national police chief by Widodo.
The president refused to revoke Gunawan`s nomination, but later postponed his appointment until the KPK investigation was complete.
The news of Widjojanto`s arrest sparked a protest by anti-corruption activists outside KPK headquarters.
Demonstrators accused the police of trying to criminalise the fight against corruption, arguing that it was retaliation for the Gunawan case.
Indonesia Corruption Watch in a statement called the arrest "a fight by the national police against the KPK" and urged Widodo to step in.
Widjojanto was widely seen as a clean figure in a nation that has seen its share of high-profile graft cases.
Anti-corruption group Transparency International ranked Indonesia 107th out of 175 countries in its annual corruption perceptions index last year. A number one ranking means the least corrupt.

Croatia fans celebrate World Cup berth with pro-Nazi chants
Croatia qualified for the World Cup with a 2-0 win over Iceland on Tuesday. Video footage shows Simunic taking a microphone to the field after the match and shouting to the fans: "For the homeland!" The fans respond: "Ready!"
That was the war call used by Ustashas, the Croatian pro-Nazi puppet regime that ruled the state during World War II when tens of thousands Jews, Serbs and others perished in concentration camps.
The Australian-born Simunic, who faces disciplinary action by FIFA, defended his action.
"Some people have to learn some history. I'm not afraid," the 35-year-old defender said. "I did nothing wrong. I'm supporting my Croatia, my homeland. If someone has something against it, that's their problem."
The same chant coupled with the Nazi salute has often been used by Croatian fans in the past. FIFA and UEFA have often sanctioned the Croatian Football Association because of their behavior.
Two weeks ago, FIFA fined Croatia $38,000 for incidents, including fans making salute gestures during its previous match in Zagreb, a 2-1 loss to Belgium on Oct. 11.
FIFA said Wednesday it was considering disciplinary action.
"We are in the process of analyzing the different match officials' reports and gathering information," FIFA said in a statement.
Simunic faces a possible suspension that could apply to matches in Brazil at the World Cup.
At the 2006 World Cup, Simunic was the player who received three yellow cards in one match against Australia before being sent off.

Welcome to My Blog...When a MOTHER thinks something is amiss...something is amiss. When a MOTHER thinks something is wrong...something is wrong!
Tuesday, October 18, 2011
I make these on New Years Eve in my kitchen. It's fun. It's a good way to begin the year and making a Mary Box is a prayer in itself. YOU are in one of them if you ever asked for prayer. Hope you do this at your home too.
Much love to all my followers.
Hope to see change in 2014. EK
When someone asked me to pray for them I'd say I would but then I'd either forget and/or didn't know what or how to do it.
I discovered the solution at a Care-giver's Retreat. I am very visual and this is what I did: I took a little scrap of paper, wrote their prayer intention, folded it carefully like a ritual, stood in front of my Mary Box and asked for the intervention of the Blessed Mother to her Son, Jesus for whatever this person desired. (healing, a job, pain relief, diagnosis, return of lost pet, safe journey, etc, etc.) followed by a Hail Mary and then I placed it into the slot in the box!
When the box is full I seal it. I never look at any request that I have written again. I have on occasion taken my Mary Boxes with me to Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and placed them near the Altar asking for blessings for all those who are in the boxes.

Thank you thank you Emalou! I love this idea. I know what you mean when I say my prayers I try to remember all the people that have asked for prayer and it is difficult. This idea is wonderful and it does bring back memories of the little altars we made for Mary when I was young. When my grandson gets home with the glue stick I am starting mine, thank you and God Bless You!

You're welcome...They also make nice gifts. I thank you for making your own. I gave one to my grandson when he graduated from High School and to a friend who is dealing with her cancer. I think everyone who loves her should have one.

I forgot how dangerous it can be to get rained on in the motherland. Remember how your parents always made sure you wouldn't get wet, and the cardinal rule that states one must shower soon as possible if, despite all effort to the contrary, one ends up getting rained on anyway? I decided my constitution, having been exposed to snow, could weather a little warm rain. WRONG. Do not get rained on in the Philippines, no matter what you do. You will regret it. You will end up with red eyes leaking gross stuff, coughing yourself raw for days. You will wind up in the office of your old paediatrician and find yourself standing on a weighing scale, subjected to the double indignities of admitting how old you are and confronting how much you really weigh. You will get diagnosed with bronchitis. You will give kudos to SUMC for coming up with a priority number system that works smoothly. You will cough and hack your way through your entire vacation, going all Typhoid Mary on your family.
Month: January 2017
The Hours
And so, after much chivvying by all and sundry (all and sundry being my mother and brother), I finally moseyed on over to the offices of Pag-Ibig to resuscitate my long dormant membership because "you'll need it if you ever want a house someday" and "you need to take advantage of your benefits!" ad nauseam, world without end. Each time I'm home, the inevitable well-meant refrain. A girl can only take so much.
When Chris Pratt Calls
I own a grand total of two Vanity Fair magazines, August 2000 and April 2014. Today, the universe is telling me it's time to add another VF to the pile. The universe, in the form of a shirtless Star-Lord riveting us all with sultry bedroom eyes, inviting us all to test
his chesticles the water. You win, Vanity Fair – you evil, conniving, effective sonofabitch. You win.
Y Tu Rogue One Tambien
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story introduces itself like another very familiar Star Wars epic, with the words "A long time ago, in a galaxy far away…" While the words are familiar, they're in cerulean rather than the time-honored gold. This and the absence of an opening crawl serves to further distinguish this movie from all the others, fostering the sense that yes, this is part of canon but it's not the story, it's a story, the odd duck of a brother whose storyline takes place alongside the main event.

Review-For metal fans this has to be the most anticipated cd this summer, and trust me fans it is well worth the anticipation. If you are going to expect this to sound like Pantera, Down or even Superjoint Ritual you are going to be half right with the vocalist, but this band seems to have a sound of its own. Music Media is my whore is such an odd way to start this cd, it plays more like the calm before what is coming next from this storm. This cd seems to build itself track to track, each track heavier than the last. While Phil is back to his roots, because this is one of the best vocal performances from him in a very long time, but as great as he was, the real stars of this cd are the Illegals. This band is crushing, punishing, brutal and very rifftastic. The title track is classic Phil with his rants about the music industry being ruined, and everyone including him that ruined it. Bedroom Destroyer sounds like it came off of Vulgar Display of Power, with its sound and energy, this is going to get the pit insane. If I had to name any negative on this cd, it had to be the opening track which may throw some fans off, and the closing track may turn some fans off. But, those are very small gripes, wait till you see what the Illegals are about, this is a band that has a sound that may stop some of that Pantera reunion talk for now, and to give this band and it's sound a fair shot. You got Phil going back to the old school; you got a band that is backing him up that has power and fury. The riffs and catchy lyrics, Bedroom Destroyer, the title track and Betrayed alone are worth the price of the cd, those three songs are some of the best things I have heard from Phil in well over a decade. This cd is aggressive, pissed off and going to brutalize your ear drums. This is the fuck you music has needed for so long…

I entered recovery from bulimia a little over a year ago after being admitted to a mental health facility for multiple mental disorders. However, I've been struggling with the recovery and (I won't lie) have relapsed a few times. One of the most difficult parts of recovery for me has been the extreme bloating I experience! My stomach gets so bloated I look 9 months pregnant. And that is not an exaggeration. My mother even asked me if I was pregnant at one point! It is so frustrating. After coming to this site I am definitely going to try drinking the herbal tea before breakfast. I already try to wear looser clothing and exercise and drink plenty of water. One of the other hardest parts of recovery is being kind to myself when experiencing the bloating....because as a bulimic I am very critical of myself and my body and also have a very distorted self/body image. I have a long road ahead of me. Wish me luck guys. Good luck with recovery guys, let's not give up!
