The Fault is of the Sufferer
Suffering is inevitable aspect of life. All of us suffer. When we suffer the first questions that crosses our mind is why, why me, why now, what did I do wrong, is there a reason for it, will I recover and where do I go from here. And many a times that answers we get, if at all we get, would be more complex and confusing. And rarely we get answers that are simple, profound and to our liking.
When we suffer, due to some reason after the first set of questions, we want to know who is at fault. And when a problem resulting in suffering occurs, be it in home, school, college, office, public space, it happened because of so and so, or an incident, or accident or a natural cause. If one were to go by psychiatrist, after analyzing our life, one identifies that our parents, siblings, teachers, Government etc. are the reason one is suffering.
In his book "The fault is of the sufferer", Ambalal Patel, A Jain Guru gives an interesting says that, Sufferings happen because of three cause – one's Karma (Action) which is Law of the Nature, mistakes committed by us in the past, and ignorance of the ways of the world.
Karma and Nature's Law
"Nature's law governs this world at all times. The simple rule being -Those who deserve merit receive their merit and those who deserve punishment are punished. Nothing operates outside the law of nature. The law of nature is completely just, but because one does not understand it, he does not accept it. When one's understanding becomes pure, he will be able to accept nature's justice. "This law is exact and no one can ever change it. There is no law in this world that can inflict suffering upon anyone, not even the law of the government".
Past Mistakes
One is free of sufferings, but we suffer because of our past mistake, be it of this life or past life, and are bound by it. Because of our mistakes, be it of understanding, thinking, action in any area of the field we work, mistakes happen resulting in failure, accidents, loss, gain and so on. And once we identify the mistake and eliminate it we can be free of resultant suffering.
Majority of the People do not have the knowledge of the Reality of this world and how it functions. They only have the knowledge of ignorance, the relative world, which causes them to wander endlessly, life after life. To give an example, if someone steals your wallet, need to identify whose fault is it and why is that only your wallet was stolen and not anyone else's?
Karma is Relentless
We read newspapers or watch TV, we get to know about lots of untoward incidents like, theft, accidental death and atrocities happening. This leads to worry, anxiety, negative thinking, unwanted imagination causing us suffering. One needs to know that You will only be robbed if it is in your karmic account. If it is not in your karma, then no one in this world can touch you, so be fearless and not afraid of what is happening around us. No one has any control over you. If you happen to get robbed, all you need to do is ask yourself who is really suffering and then move on. The world is not meant for suffering, it is meant for enjoying. People receive that which is due to them according to their karmic account. Some people are happy and some are suffering all because of our legacy. Most importantly, if you are suffering, it is your own fault. Therefore, do not see anyone else's fault, otherwise you will create new karmic accounts for your next life.
Learn to Live
One must learn how to live life. Suppose you fight at home, say between father and son, or husband and wife, and one of them is suffering and not able to sleep while the other has no concern whatsoever and is able to go about himself/herself, and sleeps soundly, know that the one who is suffering is at fault. The fault is of the sufferer.
There is no one in this world that can inflict the slightest bit of suffering upon you, and if someone does, he is merely an instrument in it. And do not blame the instrument, but know that the fault is of the sufferer. Once this fact is understood all problems and quarrels at home will cease and then one can use the energy to do other things.
If you just understand that the fault is of the sufferer, the burden of this worldly life will be lifted significantly. God's law says that at any given time, at any given place, the person who suffers is at fault. A pickpocket is happy when he steals a person's wallet. He will enjoy himself with the money he stole, whereas his victim will be suffering. He must have stolen in his past life and so today nature has caught him and therefore he is paying for his mistakes. Therefore, the sufferer is at fault.
Freedom from Suffering
No one is at fault. The fault is of the person who blames others. There is nobody at fault in this world. Everyone gets what he or she deserves according to his or her karma. They are not creating new faults today. Today's situation is the result of past karma. Today one may repent but since he has already made a contract in his previous life, he has no choice but to fulfill it. If you want to know who is at fault in this world, find the one who suffers. He is at fault.
Problems between people are escalated and exacerbated by each placing the blame on the other. If they continue to blame each other, they will create new accounts and they must suffer them all over again. Their accounts can only be settled through awareness and intelligence that the fault is of the sufferer. Therefore, if you want to be liberated from this world, accept whatever comes your way, whether it is good or bad. This way, your accounts will be settled.
World as Machine
If your finger gets stuck in the gears of a machine, the machine is not at fault. Similarly think everyone around you is like a machine. All these parents, children, husbands, wives, colleagues, partners, society, Government are nothing but machinery. They are not responsible for your suffering. By thinking like this shift the blame to self and thereby reducing the suffering gain control. If you do not let yourself be affected by the actions of others, then you do not suffer. So, understand that fault is yours and that is why you suffer. Comprehend this one will be at peace.
The Action Reaction Cycle
There is nobody at fault in this world. Everyone gets what he or she deserves according to his or her karma (Actions). They are not creating new faults today. Today's situation is the result of past karma. Today one may repent but since he has already made a contract in his previous life, he has no choice but to fulfill it. If they continue to blame each other, they will create new accounts and they will have to suffer them all over again. Therefore, if you want to be liberated from this world, you have to accept whatever comes your way, whether it is good or bad. This way, your accounts will be settled. Whatever you have given to others, you will receive in return. If you accept it gladly, you will be settling your account. If you do not accept it, you will have to suffer. Know that the fault is of the sufferer.
Your inner enemies of anger, pride, attachment and greed (krodh, maan, maya, lobh), makes you see faults in others. The vision of the Self, does not see any faults in others.
Our sufferings are either physical, mental or intellectual. Sometimes it is the ego that suffers and so the ego is at fault. Sometimes the mind suffers and so the fault is of the mind. Sometimes the chit (the subtle component of the mind that is composed of both knowledge and vision) suffers so the chit is at fault. The Real Self is detached from the mistakes of the relative self. In situations at home, in the business, at work, everywhere, just look to see who is suffering; the one who suffers is the one who is at fault and exists as long as there is ault. Once the faults are gone, no one in this world, no event in this world, will have the power to give any suffering to you.
Excerpts from "The fault is of the Sufferer", by Ambalal B Patel, A Jain Guru.

Today this little girl
turned 48.
Happy Birthday, Kimbo !
I woke up early to receive phone calls from some of my favorite peeps.
And even got a home made banana bread baked for me by my Honey for breakfast.
After joyfully reading a whole bunch of sweet birthday wishes on Facebook,
I decided to take myself on an Artist Date in the studio.
I pretended I was at a Cold Play concert, listening to this album as I played :
I sang and danced along with Chris and the guys.
Chica even joined in the dancing for a couple of tunes.
And as the music played,
I created this two page spread in my moleskine art journal.
"The Buddha and her Garden"
(stencils, spray ink,Twinkling H2Os, Faber Castel pens and a blender, white gel pen)
I was so glad to see the beauty back after the uglies of yesterday.
(Though we have decided that uglies are necessary and valuable in their own right too.)
I also like that Buddha somehow became a woman here.
They say that all of us are the Buddha after all.
As I was soaking in the fact that I am 48 years old now,
I decided on one more major gift for myself.
I am going to work really, really hard at squashing the negative voices in my head,
and to stop the self-criticism that has been so much a part of my every day for so very long.
I am going to work to the best of my ability to turn
mean, cruel messages that I give myself
into positive, motivating and self-loving ones.
Starting today !
Starting right now.
So I am off to enjoy the rest of my birthday day.
Not sure where I am headed,
but I know that this beautiful, creative, shiny Rock Fairy Star
will be shining brightly as I go !
Thanks to all for the sweet, sweet birthday love !!!
Love and light!

KC must admit that jazz doesn't really float my boat, have been told that i need to listen to more of it to enjoy it.
Okay I realize a few posters may never speak to me again but.... Tyra Banks single "Shake ya Body" aoaoaoaoaoI had no idea she sings. I do however like it when she shakes her body.
Right now I'm listening to Deerhoof. Today I've been listening to - Beck, Tricky, Boris with Michio Kurihara, Lush, The Flaming Lips, Tang Ge'er, Jill Tracy, Tool and The Smiths.
and by Lush do you mean Miki Berenyi et al?
name of the artist? there are quite a few french songs by that name
Plus a bunch of French stuff (courtesy of my friend) - current favourite:Parce Qu On Vient De Loin. The guy has an amazing voice.
Can anyone translate the name of that for me, by the way? My French sux. bibibibibi
Dog: I also quite like Blackheart Procession. Have you listened to TV on the Radio?
For nolefan (and anyone else interested)
Oooh I love technology! axaxaxaxax
Troy, her first hit, blew me away.
I'm on a big big big country music kick at the moment! just can't seem to get enough of it right now... top 5 artists in my playlist over the past week are:
Hank Williams Jr.
Garth Brooks
Loretta Lynn
Gretchen Wilson
Merle Haggard
On my MP4, Maroon 5.
On my tv at the moment is the Live Aid concert from 1985 and later i will put on the Live Earth concert from last year. It's a bit of a worry though i know more of the bands from the '85 concert than i do from the '07 concert, oh well probably a good way to get exposed to some new music.
I watched a movie called "Love in the Time of Cholera' and there were two amazing songs that I wanted so I downloaded soundtrack. Turns out the singer was Shakira and I still love the songs, which are sung in whatever language Shakira can sing in.
I was shopping around for some running music and stumbled upon a band called "Drive-by truckers". Theyr'e actually quite good. Makes it a bit more fun to run around in the rain.
"I'm going straight to hell, that's what my momma said, I'm going straight to hell"
Great album I uploaded here:
70pc of youngsters have hearing loss
June 10, 2008
MORE than 70 per cent of young adults suffer from the first sign of hearing loss, a new survey reveals.
Listening to music - played at dangerously loud levels - through headphones could be the cause.
The survey, commissioned by Australian Hearing, found adults aged between 18 and 24 reported suffering from tinnitus or ringing in the ear.
The finding has surprised experts including Professor Harvey Dillon, director of the National Acoustics Laboratory at Australian Hearing.
"That was a real surprise because that was actually more common than the older respondents," Prof Dillon said on Fairfax radio.
"Mostly for the younger people it didn't happen very often, and it didn't last for very long when it did happen. But it did happen.
"And we think that that's probably a warning sign for them."
The report found two thirds of people listened to music through headphones and of those, 60 per cent played music at dangerous loud levels.
Prof Dillon said it could take just weeks for hearing loss to begin.
"That's part of the problem. Although it's happening, definitely, it's happening gradually and slowly and people just don't notice it," he said.
Some 25 per cent of younger people thought that if they damaged their hearing it would get better, he said.
"Older Australians, I might add, were much wiser, almost none of them thought that."
The risk of damage occurred in two stages when people go to concerts or noisy venues. Both occurred inside the inner ear and while one was temporary the other was permanent, he said.
"We tend to notice the temporary loss of hearing and we notice it come back over the next day or two.
"What we don't notice is that at the same time, in the same place but through a different mechanism, there's also a permanent loss going on.
"A few hair cells dying here, a few hair cells dying there and they add up from time to time."
Prof Dillon says safe headphone audio levels were 85 decibels, averaged over an eight-hour day.
There steps people could take to minimise the risk of going deaf from loud music, Australian Hearing ambassador Dr John D'Arcy said.
"Set the volume of your MP3 player at a level that allows you to hear someone at arm's length without them having to shout," he said.
Workers exposed to loud machinery or industrial noise should also wear ear muffs or plugs to protect their hearing.
The survey also revealed many older Australians viewed hearing devices negatively, which could lead to widespread social disadvantage among the elderly.
More than 70 per cent older people surveyed were open to the idea of wearing a hearing device, but most associated them with the terms "old" and "deaf" while one in five believed they were "unsightly" and "ugly".
Human Services Minister Joe Ludwig said modern technology had helped to make devices look less unsightly.
"People might be surprised that many modern hearing devices look more like fashion accessories," he said.
"We know from previous surveys that hearing loss is associated with a loss of intimacy or interaction with family and friends.
"So, if you do start to experience problems, it is important that people go and get tested and find out about the latest high-tech hearing aids."
...Shania Twain...
Thanks CD - well worth downloading. Reminds me a little of Radiohead, one of my fave bands. Why aren't these guys better known?
I have just downloaded the new Coldplay album Coldplay - Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends and what I have heard of it so far, it sounds great.
In Taberna
Corvus Corax.
Black Sabbath
New Metallica album. The world just became a slightly better place.
I kissed a girl - Katy Perry
I wish i was a punk rocker - Sandi Thom
Yeah that's some awesome stuff agagagagag
the new Buckcherry: Black butterfly
It's got one of the best party songs I've heard in a while...
My new favourite song by Pink "So What"
Bro was born in DenmarkBut he's not related to Eric.
It is not on my CD player, or MP3, but streaming live, from Curtin FM, a community station situated in suburban Perth. Markets itself as playing 'the music you grew up with'. For any 'oldies' it is great. I love it, being in that category, I guess.
Zhaoqing, Guangdong Province. bxbxbxbxbx
Today I am listening to Screamin' Jay Hawkins. My kinda Xmas music... bzbzbzbzbz
It's good, but click Tom Wait's version to the right. bfbfbfbfbf
Radio Birdman.
Yay, this thing worked well.
Got three Spineshank albums, one Metallica and some classic AC/DC.
NEW YORK (Billboard) - "LeftRightLeftRightLeft," the free live album that Coldplay is giving away on CD to every fan who attends this summer's "Viva La Vida" tour, is now available as a free download from the band's website.
The giveaway begins as the band's North American tour kicks off with a Friday night (May 15) show at the Cruzan Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Perro come perro - Superlitio
And whatever else Colombian group names pops up for me on Limewire. Superlitio are cool, kinda a bit more mellow than I expected given Perro Come Perro, the movie (aka "Dog Eat Dog"), but anyhoo, anyone got any suggestions?
Zurdok, a Mexican rock band, also popped out in the searches, and they're great, but I'm looking for modern Colombian.
What other Colombian groups do you know? I'm intrigued. By the way, I'm Colombian. You seem to know much more than me.Technically, I know nothing of Colombian music. But last night I watched Perro Come Perro (http://www.ny.remezcla.com/re/article.jsp?a=384) and got a little excited. bfbfbfbfbf It's a gangster film set in Cali.
Not ethnic enough? Ugh. I'll let that one pass. asasasasas
What do you think of the English singing bands, musically speaking? Only that they're not ethnic enough?
Seeing Hands is an excellent song.
Godsmack - Voodoo @ tudou.com (http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/hJtpy1ubSrU/)
I am constantly searching for music to listen to while out running
WinAmp, which may currently be the only audio media player worth having. bfbfbfbfbfProving true what they used to say:
Calach, gotta send my deepest thanks for bringing Dengue Fever and their Venus On Earth album to my attention!
Tech these days is crazy
I don't even need to Giggle anymore. I have an app on my phone that will listen to a piece of music (you can even hum) and tell you what it is. It only needs a few seconds.
Marilyn Manson...the Greatest Hits collection.
Love him or hate him, the brutha do lay down some seriously hard rock. Not quite as satisfyingly brutal as Dethklok, you understand, but definitely getting into the ballpark. bfbfbfbfbf
His originals are amazing enough, but a couple of covers warrant mention.
His cover of the classic Tainted Love is better than the original...it strips away the pretty gay delivery of Soft Cell's version (of the class Frank Zappa referred to as "snotty boys with lipstick on") and connects it directly to the electrified third rail where it's always belonged. bhbhbhbhbh
He does interesting things with the Eurythmics' Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) . If you can get to something like YouTube, check out his video on this one. bfbfbfbfbf However, the cut stands up just fine on its own, without the video.
I'll see your Ministry and raise you a Skrillex (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xy-4Qcah6Ys).
Girls` Generation(소녀시대) _ Gee _ MusicVideo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7mPqycQ0tQ)

【初音ミク】くたばれPTA (http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTg4NjcwNDA0.html)【オリジナル曲】
I started with the lists from Pitchfork and Spin (halfway through the latter). Full
Have downloaded all 3, but am currently listening to Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffitti. Enjoying it so far. Lame Impala shows up on every Best Of list so far, so I'll do them next.ariel pink very good too~ been a good year for music!
I recently stumbled upon Vegcast. It's an edgy veggie podcast with lots of accomplished guests.
http://vegcast.com (http://vegcast.com)
I devour podcasts on long train/bus journeys and on nights when insomnia hits...
WTF with Marc Maron
Yes! I am on my second listen through to the Mongolian one.
I devour podcasts on long train/bus journeys and on nights when insomnia hits, so I am always looking for something new (be warned, I have a weakness for paranormal/conspiracy investigation stuff, so I marked those with an *):
China Policy podcast
Gralien Report*
Guardian Science Weekly
Higherside Chats*
Mysterious Universe*
Skeptics Guide to the Universe*
Skeptoid* (there's a Chinese language version of this too!)
Uhh Yeah Dude
WTF with Marc Maron
Honorable mention to my long-time language learning buddies:
This is a one of a kind album, there has never been another album like this and there will never be another album like this.Opera singers singing with an orchestra! I'm going to go out on a limb and say that there have been other albums like this.
Another fascinating tale lies behind the wordless song 'Ode A L'Humanite, based on YANNI's version of the 'Flower Duet' from Delibes' opera 'Lakme'. When the South African youngster Pretty Yende heard this on a television advertisement for British Airways, it sparked her love of the sound of the operatic voice, so much so, that it fired her with a desire to become an opera singer herself. Having overcome enormous hurdles, she is now one of the brightest new stars in the opera world, and has appeared in major roles at La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera - and all thanks to inspiration from YANNI.You know what. I 'm going to give a little (99.99%) of the credit to Delibes.
Marc Maron can be awesome. Did you listen to the interview with Bob Zmuda? He was Andy Kaufman's partner in crime.
Rolling Stone: Best Album of 2014
I'm normally not a big fan of list but it's been a long one since i've seen one this interesting with a mix of old school and new stuff. Currently downloading most of them to take for a spin.
so far, i'm digging:
Hurray for the Rif Raff
Gary Clark Jr.
They're all new founds for me. Of course, the classics, other than that U2 abomination, are also fantastic.
Usually either my "Winter Mix" or my "Summer Mix" depending on the weather.. if it is raining then "Winter Mix" goes on... my body is still confuzzled by the rain being in SUMMER in TJ!
I'm now listening to Chinese music only, however I don't understand a word they are saying. I love a song called "Na Xie Nian." It is a beautiful song. I have no idea who the singer is, or what it says, but I l love it.
Crockpot by Slothrust
will Spotify work in China
and am I right in assuming I can find "good" speakers to stream the music?
No one else listens to music?
FWIW, now listening to "Forget Me Nots" by Patrice Rushen, as if anyone cares. ahahahahah
Kids these days with their autotune. I expect I'll blame Kanye, except that Yeezus was actually good. The faux-melody rap filling the singles charts these days is just poop.
A nice little summary of some of the better indie music released this year in China.
You might find something new to like...
Listening to the new Chui Wan album right now and it's fun

Discipline: Geology
Level: Intermediate
Duration: 5 days
Instructor(s): James Granath
Extensional structures provide some of the world's largest known oil reservoirs and remain one of the major frontier plays of the immediate future, both onshore and, particularly, in deep water offshore. 3D seismic has revolutionized structural mapping. However, the most realistic geologic interpretation of these structures is only as good as our ability to recognize and exploit the fundamental characteristics of the forms that are possible. This course presents outcrop, subsurface, seismic sections, and model analogs that will provide the starting point for structural interpretation in a wide range of extensional environments. Interpretations are validated by restoration and comparison to balanced models. This course covers the latest restoration techniques and the use of predictive kinematic models appropriate for rifted and other extensional and transtensional areas. The instructors of this course are happy to accept examples from your company for analysis in the class as one of the demonstration exercises. Please contact PetroSkills for a list of the information and support data required, as well as the necessary lead-time.

Letter To The Better song lyrics
Letter To The Better lyrics
"is everybody ready? all right, here we go"
Allow me to begin, once again my friend
Yo, it's ace in action, here to send
Any and all mc's into a frenzy
Cause i'll take a rapper out just like a benzi
Yeah, this ain't the same old, lame old
Bragging and nagging, yo all that became old
Years ago, and yo, here's a pro-
Fession that will better and freshen the soul
I am going on and on like an adventure
Some of y'all are offered that cause i sent ya
Hmmm, this move is forward, or would
You like it if i pause, yeah you sure would
But i ain't pausing, no stop, just like a freeway
You're claiming too close, i need some leeway
Cause it's about time for the party to get a
Little bit hyper and yo, this is a letter to the better
So go check the mail for yours, i unveil the jaws
Then i dog ya, get down on all fours
So he can blow the capital a, the dream
Rhymes are fierce, pierce your ears like a laser beam
Reach, and i'll teach you each the speech
Spectrum, even if you add bleach
It won't fade or run, cause it's made of one-
Hundred percent knowledge to weigh a ton
Listen bud, yo the rhyme's a dud
Pencil or pen and i'll draw
Blood i'll take a strong stance, strictly long pants
No short-taking, when you hear my song, dance!
Cause you can't keep still, so dance til
You drop or the hip-hop stop, but it never will
Yeah, now if you're better, then here's the move
Ace in action, i'm here to show and prove
Plain and simple, you train my rhyme a pimple
Bust it, and watch it in your temple
You need buffrin, you're suffering, can you cope?
Nah, nope, cause it's dope, and you hope
I might slip or trip, stall or fall
But all hope is lost, you've been stalled
Drugged, you've been bugged if i'd said a
Another line in this verse, this is a letter to the better
I'm flowing, so in fact, kind of rivery
Are you a dope mc? special delivery
There's no time, here's a rhyme, go ahead open it
This is a letter to the better, i know you're hoping it
Might be some claim on my greatness
But once i state this, watch the crabs rate this
You wear a crown, you don't deserve one
You need a meal for the mind and i'll serve one
Like a chef so def, i'm gonna rip up
Rhymes they gonna rip up those that turn a lip up
One page at a time, you keep reading
Each stage of the rhyme, where's it leading?
You want to know where a path leads, you follow it
I feed you your pride and make you swallow it
Used to be an innocent bystander and the
Lotta years filled my ears with slander
Why should i choose to get used to the way you burn?
When will you learn that every rapper has a turn?
And when the spotlight shines on you, you ought to glow
And show, the next man how to grow
And so, enough said about yourself
The central wealth of our people is mental health
And good things come in due time
And through rhyme, watch as a few climb
Non stop, straight to the top just to get a
Great big piece of the pie, this is a letter to the better

Retailers across the UK have necessitated talks with the Government about its proposed review of business rates. Concerns surround the decision and its pledge to be what has been quoted as "fiscally neutral".
The British Retail Consortium, and other notable business groups such as the CBI, the British Chambers of Commerce, and the Federation of Small Businesses, will be meeting David Gauke, the Financial Secretary to the Treasury some time in January to discuss the review of rates.
The implications are that any reforms won't affect the amount that business rates generate for the Treasury, and that the Treasury's approach will mean there is no substantial overhaul of the tax.
Helen Dickinson, Director General at the BRC, said:
"The high street plays a key role in our economy and the Government review of the structure of business rates is a very positive step towards addressing the barriers to future growth and development. A big question for business rates payers will be the definition of fiscal neutrality within the review and whether that's within the current confines of business rates or more broadly across all taxes, and how it accounts for the recent adjustments to total income through special reliefs.
She added:
"We would favour as broad a definition as possible to enable real flexibility as the review moves forward."
After intense pressure from business leaders to overhaul the tax, George Osborne announced the review of business rates in the December Autumn Statement last year. Upon closer look, small print revealed that any changes to the tax would be "fiscally neutral" and "consistent with the Government's agreed financing of local authorities".

Williams and Jones Recalled by the 76ers
On Tuesday, Bobby Jones and Louis Williams informed the home crowd that they were likely playing their last home game in the D-League. They were expected to play one more road game, but sources have informed us that they have been recalled by the 76ers, and are back in Philadelphia.
Williams put on an amazing scoring display in his last D-League game, going off for 35 points on 12/13 from the field, and 8/12 from the free throw line. His perimeter shot is much improved from high school, and he was making some very nice finishes around the hoop. Despite this, he turned the ball over 8 times, and didnt make an effort to get his teammates involved.
Jones didnt display any creativity on offense, and missed all of his 3 point attempts. He did rebound the ball well, and played the usual defense that he became known for at Washington. Jones needs to develop a consistent perimeter shot, and he should be fine to play a defensive specialist role in the NBA.
Jay Williams Joins Toros
Former #2 overall draft pick Jay Williams, formerly of the Chicago Bulls, was recently acquired by Austin from the available player pool. Williams suffered injuries in a motorcycle accident 3 years ago, and was expected by some people to never play again. He played in training camp with the New Jersey Nets, but was cut at the conclusion of the pre-season. He will join Brock Gillespie and BJ Elder in the Toros backcourt. Williams will be keeping a blog about his time spent in the D-League, which can be found at http://www.nba.com/dleague/austin/jaywilliams_blog.html . Williams can be expected to be one of the most heavily scouted players in the D-League over the next few months. Teams will be looking closely at his lateral quickness and explosiveness in particular to gauge how far along he is in his comeback effort.
Pops Mensah-Bonsu Assigned to Fort Worth
Dallas Mavericks rookie forward Pops-Mensah Bonsu was assigned to the Fort Worth Flyers on Thursday. The undrafted rookie free agent is the 4th NBA player to be assigned to Fort Worth this season, and the 5th to be assigned to the D-League. Mensah-Bonsu struggled in his first game, scoring 5 points on 1-2 from the field and 3-8 from the line, but he did grab 6 rebounds in 19 minutes. In the D-League, he will have to work on developing a consistent mid-range jump shot, and polishing his inside game. Mensah-Bonsus athleticism and energy will make him a hustle player if he makes the NBA, and it will be interesting to see how his game progresses throughout this season. He is the 4th Maverick to be sent to the D-League after Rawle Marshall, Josh Powell, and Pavel Podkolzine, who were all assigned last season.
Justin Williams Continues Dominance on Boards
Justin Williams of the Dakota Wizards has now had more than 15 rebounds in 4 out of his 5 games. His offensive game has really started to come along lately as well, and hes averaging 16 points per game over his past 3 games. For the season, Williams is averaging 12.4 points, 14.0 rebounds, and 2.4 blocks per game. After going undrafted, he is one of the more intriguing big men in the D-League, and if his offensive game develops, Williams will find himself playing in the NBA very soon.
Ryan Hollins Update
Hollins continued to rebound the ball well Friday night against Arkansas, gathering 13 for the game and 8 on the offensive end. Offensively, he shot the ball well from the floor, but turned the ball over 8 times. Hollins still needs to add muscle mass, but it will be difficult as he has a thin frame and narrow shoulders. His offensive game is coming along well, but he still lacks a post game. He will need to continue to work on his timing on the defensive end to reach his fullest potential as a player. He finished the game 12 points, 13 rebounds, 4 blocks, and 8 turnovers in 37 minutes.
Julius Hodge Update
Hodge received his first real minutes of the season on Sunday, and played pretty well considering he hasnt played basketball since last April. He scored the ball well going to the basket, and created some nice looks for his teammates. His shooting mechanics still looked poor however, and he only made 3 of his 7 free throw attempts. Hodge finished the game with 15 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists in 24 minutes. Colorado is playing well, so they can afford to bring Hodge along slowly, and increase his minutes as he becomes more comfortable.
Andriuskevicius Assigned to Wizards
The Chicago Bulls have assigned big man Martynas Andriuskevicius to the Dakota Wizards. Andriuskevicius spent time in the D-League last season as a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers, and was acquired in an off-season trade for Eddie Basden. Martynas combined with Justin Williams will make one of the better front court duos in the D-League, and it should provide Andriuskevicius with a nice opportunity to get a lot of playing time.
Possible Assignment Candidates
2 players have recently been mentioned as possible candidates in the D-League. Uros Slokar and PJ Tucker of the Toronto Raptors could be sent down to the Colorado 14ers. The Raptors have injury problems with their lineup right now, and Slokar was used sparingly in Torontos last two games. If the Raptors can get healthy, they will likely send down both Tucker and Slokar. The Raptors used the D-League last season and sent Pape Sow to Arkansas, where he played very well. Tucker is a rookie out of Texas who has appeared in 8 games for the Raptors this season, and Slokar is a rookie out of Slovenia who has played in 2.
Team Updates
Fort Worth Flyers, 4-1
After a tough win on Tuesday against Anaheim, the Flyers dropped their first game of the season against the Rimrockers Friday night. Louis Williams had his best scoring game in the D-League against Anaheim, scoring 35 points. Kelenna Azubuike continued his dominance scoring 27 on Tuesday, but shot just 8 of 24 from the field in a 23 point effort Friday. With Louis Williams and Bobby Jones on their way out, the Flyers will need increased effort from some of their guys who have had a lesser role lately. Kevin Burleson and Luke Schenscher are two guys who could really step up and take on a larger role. Cory Santee has played very well for the Flyers this year, and his scoring will be important with Williams gone.
This week, the Flyers play back to back games against the Tulsa 66ers. On Friday night they will play in Fort Worth, and they will travel to Tulsa for the Saturday night game.
Dakota Wizards, 4-1
Dakota played a close game on Tuesday, edging Idaho by a margin of 94-90. Justin Williams led the way with 18 points, 15 rebounds, and 5 blocks, and Renaldo Major lead all scorers with 27 points. Major is averaging 16 points per game this season, and shooting 54% from the field. The Wizards may soon add big man Martynas Andriuskevicius from the Chicago Bulls. A front court combination of Andriuskevicius and Williams would be very hard for opposing teams to stop.
The Wizards will try to add to their 2 game winning streak on Thursday and Friday, when they host the winless Austin Toros.
Colorado 14ers, 4-1
Colorado played just one game this week, beating the D-Fenders by a wide margin on Sunday. Von Wafer continued to play well, scoring 29 points, and making 5 of 7 from the three point line. He did turn the ball over 7 times, but he is now averaging over 22 points per game, and shooting 55% from the 3 point line. In addition, Colorado received solid contributions from Julius Hodge and Elton Brown on Sunday. Brown scored 17 points and added 13 rebounds. He is now second in the D-League in rebounds per game at 11.
This week Colorado faces their toughest challenge of the season so far when they travel to Albuquerque for a pair of games. Their games Friday and Saturday night should test the 14ers, and give them a good idea of where they stand as a team.
Arkansas Rimrockers, 6-2
The Rimrockers are currently the hottest team in the D-League, and won a pair of home games last week. On Tuesday, they beat Austin, and they handed Fort Worth their first loss of the season Friday night. Clay Tucker has continued to play well for Arkansas. He had 26 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists against Austin, and contributed 14 points against Fort Worth. Matt Haryasz had his best game of the season against Fort Worth. He scored 19 points and grabbed 11 rebounds against a solid front line with NBA experience.
Arkansas will attempt to extend their 5 game winning streak on Thursday and Friday. They travel to Sioux Falls to take on a struggling team in back to back games.
Albuquerque Thunderbirds, 5-2
The Thunderbirds won a pair of home games last week against the Anaheim Arsenal. Dijon Thompson played well in both games, and is making a strong case for a return to the NBA. Thursday night he had 25 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists, and he followed it up Friday with 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 assists. Troy Bell has been up and down this season. He followed up a 23 point effort on 8 of 11 shooting with a 4 point game on Friday. 610 center Marcus Douthit has been a steady inside presence for the Thunderbirds this year, and is averaging 18 points and 9 rebounds per game.
Albuquerque will host a pair of games Friday and Saturday. They will be tested for the first time against the Colorado 14ers in what should be a close match-up.
Los Angeles D-Fenders, 5-4
The D-Fenders played 4 games last week, and finished them 2-2. They won Monday at home against Sioux Falls, but lost to them on Wednesday. L.A. bounced back with a Friday win verses Tulsa, but dropped a road game Sunday to Colorado. Devin Green has continued to be one of the top players in the D-League. His play-making as the point guard in the triangle offense is very impressive, and he displays surprising scoring ability at times. His best game of the week came Friday, where he had 25 points, 7 assists, and 6 rebounds. Green is now averaging 19 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game. Newly acquired guard Brian Chase has scored the ball well for L.A., but has not displayed much in terms of point guard skills.
This week, the D-Fenders just play one game. Idaho visits the Staples center on Friday for an early afternoon game.
Tulsa 66ers, 4-3
Tulsa played 3 games last week, starting with a home win against Austin. They lost to L.A. Friday, but bounced back in Bakersfield on Saturday. Cheyne Gadson played very well for Tulsa last week, and is currently scoring over 19 points per game. Will Conroy once again is one of the top distributors in the D-League, and had 8 assists or more in all three games this past week. He is now averaging 7.5 per game for the season. Denham Brown continues to be inconsistent. He scored in single digits his first two games last week, before bouncing back with 22 points and 10 rebounds against Bakersfield.
Tulsa plays a road game Thursday in Anaheim before traveling to Fort Worth on Friday. They finish the week on Saturday with a home game against the Flyers.
Sioux Falls Skyforce, 3-4
Sioux Falls split a pair of road games in Los Angeles last week. They lost on Monday, but came back Wednesday and won by a score of 98-90. Andre Brown contributed 16 points and 6 rebounds on Monday, followed by 21 points and 10 rebounds Wednesday. Frank Williams had a solid week, netting 14 points and 5 assists Monday, and 25 points and 10 assists Wednesday.
This week, the Skyforce host Arkansas on Thursday and Friday. They finish the week with a Sunday game in Austin against the Toros.
Anaheim Arsenal, 3-5
The Arsenal had a tough week, dropping a game in Fort Worth Tuesday, before losing a pair on Thursday and Friday in Albuquerque. Jawad Williams has played very well so far for Anaheim. In the D-League, he has been taking big guys out on the perimeter, and either shooting it or taking it to the basket. Williams has averaged nearly 21 points per game this season to go along with 4 rebounds and 2 assists. Andre Owens has struggled from the field so far this season. He is shooting 39% from the field, and only 24% from the 3 point line. They will need a more consistent effort out of Corsley Edwards if they are going to string together some wins.
This week, Anaheim plays 3 games, starting with a home game Tuesday against Tulsa. They play at home Thursday against Idaho, and travel to Bakersfield on Saturday.
Bakersfield Jam, 1-5
Bakersfield played 1 game last week, and lost to Tulsa by 15 points. Kevinn Pinkney has been their best player so far this season, scoring 19 points per game on 54% from the field. He is a very good spot up shooter, and hard for big men in the D-League to guard. Tony Bobbit has been inconsistent for the Jam, and they will need efficient scoring from him if they are going to start winning some games. Brandon Bowman is still struggling with the D-League game, and shot just 4-12 from the field in his last game.
This week, Bakersfields only game is on Saturday when they host the Anaheim Arsenal.
Idaho Stampede, 1-6
Idaho lost a close game on Tuesday against the Dakota Wizards. Peter Ramos was able to go 9-9 from the field on his way to 18 points on Tuesday, but he only finished the game with 5 rebounds and 1 blocked shot. Eddie Robinson struggled again, and needs to be more consistent. He finished the game with 11 points on 3-11 from the field. Randy Livingston continues to distribute the ball well but he turned the ball over too often against Dakota. He finished the game with 9 assists and 5 turnovers.
This week, Idaho plays in California on Thursday and Friday. Thursday night their game is in Anaheim, and they play against the D-Fenders on Friday.
Austin Toros, 0-6
The Toros are the only winless team remaining in the D-League after dropping a pair of games Tuesday and Wednesday. Jamar Smith played well Tuesday, but struggled Wednesday against Tulsa. He is currently averaging 20 points and 7 rebounds per game this season. They have also received strong play from BJ Elder as of late. Elder scored 31 points in Tuesdays loss, and also scored 22 on Wednesday. The addition of Jay Williams should help an Austin team that is very thin in the backcourt. If he can control the tempo and distribute the ball, it will give the Toros a much needed upgrade at the point guard position.
This week, the Toros will try to win their first game in Dakota on Thursday. They play Dakota again on Friday, and return home to host Sioux Falls on Sunday.

Much speculation has surrounded Todd Phillip's highly anticipated sequel to "The Hangover" but other than some casting news, a few set photos and the recent revelation that Bill Clinton isn't making a cameo in the film, the project has managed to remain relatively secretive. Speaking with MTV at the Sundance Film Festival, though, actor Paul Giamatti — one of few additions to the sequel — has provided a little color to the bare details that are already out there.
"I play Mel Gibson," Giamatti joked, before retracting and adding "no, I think Liam Neeson plays that. I just did it with the three guys, who were great. They kind of swore me to secrecy. I play a bad guy in it." We had previously touted the actor for the role of the tattoo artist, though whether that's the case is anyone's guess at this point. The work of the tattoo artist, whoever that may be, was already evident in one of the spoiler-ish set photos. As for Giamatti, it seems he's embracing his darker side as he also recently confirmed he'll be stalking Robert Pattinson in David Cronenberg's "Cosmopolis."
Also joining the leading quartet of Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis and Justin Bartha will be Jamie Chung, who plays Stu's new fiancee, Ken Jeong who'll reprise his role of gangster Mr. Chow and boxer Mike Tyson who'll return as himself. The film's release on May 26th will surely be one of the biggest weekends this year.

Not so long ago, the millions of American households owning stocks relied on three investment bedrocks: A well-oiled economy that seemed to defy the business cycle, a stable political system, and an overriding sense of national security.
Now all three of those have been rocked in a matter of months, with historic implications on the investment psyche.
On Friday, Wall Street ended a painful, emotional week with another volatile ride, completing its worst weekly drop since the Great Depression. The Dow Jones industrial average, which swung nearly 400 points in just over half an hour, closed with a loss of 140.40 points, at 8235.81--giving it by far its biggest weekly point drop ever, at nearly 1,370 points, and biggest weekly percentage drop since 1933, at 14.3 percent.
The long-suffering Nasdaq composite index shed 47.74 points, to 1423.19--down 16 percent for the week and more than 70 percent since the heady days of March 2000.
All week long, investors and portfolio managers scrambled to protect their holdings, spawning a surge in market activity. The New York Stock Exchange recorded its three heaviest volume days ever this week, including Friday's 2.3 billion shares, as roughly 1 in 4 NYSE stocks fell to their lowest levels in the past 52 weeks.
With the economy reeling and sabers rattling, optimism about anything resembling a quick recovery is scarce.
What investors might--and should--do in response to the new reality is an open question.
On the one hand, they see a familiar friend, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, injecting liquidity into U.S. markets. They see Warren Buffett and others declaring they are holding onto their stock positions for the long term. They know in their heads that to sell now simply locks in losses that were unimaginable just 18 months ago.
Meanwhile, their stomachs sink watching the Dow and the wider market indexes plummet. They see UAL, Boeing and scores of other companies furlough workers, and they cancel their own travel plans. They read about big hedge funds placing bets that U.S. stocks will tank and about investors diverting money to foreign markets.
"It's a real challenge to explain these down, red screens," said Philip Dow, director of equity strategy for Dain Rauscher Investment Services in Minneapolis. "There is fear in the marketplace."
For millions of relatively new investors, many of whom eagerly embraced the mantra of buying on dips, the current climate provides the most serious test of their mettle ever. The number of U.S. households owning stocks, directly or indirectly, increased by more than 20 million between 1989 and 1998, according to the Federal Reserve, and experts say that rose further even as the bull market tailed off. While some investors are already seeing their portfolios go underwater, millions more are assessing whether to lock in what's left of their gains--which would only add to the selling pressure on stocks--or at least curtail new investment, yanking away one of the market's underpinnings.
Many are cashing out
Indeed, many aren't waiting. Americans pulled $7.8 billion out of mutual funds on Monday and Tuesday alone, according to TrimTabs. The average daily outflow in August was $400 million. Mutual fund managers facing rising redemptions must sell stocks to gain liquidity.
U.S. workers transferred $400 million in 401(k) assets on Monday, largely leaving equity funds for fixed income; money market funds have swelled in recent days. The 401(k) moves were more than nine times the normal activity level and twice the amount of activity on the previously highest volume days, according to Hewitt Associates in Lincolnshire.
Companies in hard-hit industries--especially insurance--are probably forced to sell investments now, too, Dow said.
Those are short-term responses, of course, but the prospect of longer-term consequences looms.
"When we come out of this, I can't see how the consumer's perspective and risk tolerance isn't going to be tremendously different," said William Anthes, president of the National Endowment for Financial Education.
Although a more sober period for investors, in theory, could result in more prudent, rational decision-making, evidence suggests just the opposite could happen.
"After a crisis, people feel very vulnerable and are acutely aware of risk," said Roger Ibbotson, chairman of Chicago market research firm Ibbotson Associates. "There is a tendency to be more cautious and reduce holdings. This isn't likely to be rewarded, though."
Long slump is possible
Ibbotson predicts the weakening economy and market, only exacerbated by the terrorist attacks, will ultimately result in a substantial decline in the do-it-yourself investing trend that sprang from the heady days of the 1990s bull market.
He also said he believes the stock market could stay in a protracted slump as even investors who hold onto equities are reluctant to buy more.
Yet Ibbotson and most other market observers stop short of predicting a fate similar to Japan's wrenching, decadelong stock market slide, noting American companies' resolve and tolerance for the pain of layoffs and other structural changes to get the economy moving.
"No evil, no matter how unspeakable, can destroy America's productive spirit," Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill said in testimony Thursday before the Senate Banking Committee.
Greenspan, likewise, struck an upbeat note Thursday.
"We must not lose sight of our longer-run prospects, which have not been significantly diminished by these terrible events," Greenspan said in his prepared remarks to the committee.
Risk of decision paralysis
But there's a fine line between resisting panic selling and succumbing to decision paralysis. At this point, no one clearly knows whether holding on will be rewarded in the end.
"Psychologists have found people are more analytical when they are in a sober mood and a bit more impulsive in a good mood. People are no longer playing with the house money," said Terrance Odean, an expert in investor psychology at the University of California at Berkeley, referring to the notion that during the huge run-up in stocks in the late 1990s, investors had a windfall and played it accordingly, like money won in a casino--easy come, easy go.
Now, a new wariness grips investors as they see their own paycheck money disappearing. On a positive note, Odean said, it could possibly spur Americans to begin saving more of their income, something they hadn't had to worry as much about during the unprecedented five-year run of double-digit market gains.
"I wouldn't be surprised if they save a bit more because they realize the world is a bit more of a dangerous place and they need a safety net," he said. "People used to think, `Why save if I have a high-paying job? Why save for a rainy day if it never rains?' We know it rains now."

2 small shallots, thinly sliced into rings2 1/2 tablespoons Champagne vinegar Salt 1 pound summer squash 4 to 5 tablespoons olive oil Pepper Parsley or chervil, finely chopped
Put the shallots, vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in a bowl, and let them sit at least 10 minutes while you prepare the squash.
Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil; add a tablespoon of salt and the squash. Cook them until they are tender but still a little firm when pierced with a knife. Pierce as few squash as possible while testing them for doneness so that they don't become waterlogged. When they are done, set them on a clean kitchen towel to drain. Whisk the olive oil into the shallot and vinegar mixture. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and stir in the parsley or chervil. Cut off the stems and slice the squash in two lengthwise, and pour the dressing over them while they are still warm.

Judas Priest And AC/DC Win Grammy Awards
Band Photo: Lamb of God (?)
Two of the biggest names in hard rock and heavy metal walked away with Grammy awards last night as British metal legends Judas Priest picked up the award for Best Metal Performance, beating Lamb Of God, Megadeth, Ministry and Slayer, with their song "Dissident Aggressor," taken from their live album, "A Touch Of Evil: Live." Australian based hard rockers AC/DC also scooped the prize for Best Hard Rock Performance for their song "War Machine," which appears on their most recent studio album, "Black Ice" and the forthcoming "Iron Man 2" soundtrack. They were able to beat Metallica, Alice In Chains, Nickelback and Linkin Park in their category.

I would have liked Ministry to have won the Metal Grammy but it was a long shot. With Megadeth it's a lose/lose situation as we'd either have to hear Mustaine going on about how they won and Metallica didn't or (what will probably happen later) Mustaine ranting about not winning again. I'm a massive Priest fan so I'm happy. Don't understand why people are moaning about AC/DC, surely it's better they won than Linkin Park or Nickelback?
Its the grammys folks, they ve been out of touch with metal all but maybe 1 or 2 years...them and the american music awards have always been biased and sh!tty....these bands are legendary but havent had a hit in 10 15 years? Not surprised at the outcome..should have been LOG and metallica
AC/DC deserved a grammy, like 20 years ago. War Machine is not even the best song on Black Ice. Judas Priest also deserved a grammy, like 20 years ago. Oh well, maybe Megadeth will win a grammy in 2021 for Holy Wars. Oh, and all you AC/DC and Priest bashers, get over yourselves, it aint like Jethro Tull won!
Ok, obviously MegaDeth should of won. Headcrusher was definitly one of the best songs this year. Slayer is one of my favorite bands(as is MegaDeth) but I can honestly say Endgame was better then World Painted Blood. I don't think Lamb of God even deserved to be nominated so I'm glad they didn't win. I think while Judas Priest should'nt of won it... its still Priest so I really can't be mad
priest rules but i don't really agree with them winning this award, and alice in chains should have gotten best hard rock ac/dc is overrated, i kinda hope they take a note from the scorpions and retire while they're still on top. all of thier music pretty much sounds the same anyway i think angus writes one guitar riff for each album and just mixes up the chord sequence 13 different ways to make different tracks
im pretty much with oz on not having to listen to dave sh**stain even though im sure within the month we'll have some long paragraph to read about how he feels like menstrating all over his keyboard that day. i dont think it matters who won, no one i actually listen to on a regular basis will ever be nominated, so congrats to priest on this one.
i think it shouldda been log and aic but that's just me i guess. i'm happy for ac/dc, better than nicklefag and linkin fart, but still, i think alice in chains shouldda gotten this one. i'm mostly upset about priest winning, wtf?! is that song came out soo long ago then ytf did it win?? and how?? who judges this sh**?? it's a live f***ing album?! then y was it even there?? there were plenty of other metal songs that came it within this yr span that deserved to b nominated, mastodon being one band that shouldda been and LOG definitely shouldda won.
To n0thing and everyone else who is having issues with this: May I remind you that with the Grammy's they often go with the name of the band that is most familiar to them. This way they don't actually have to look or listen to anything in order to make their pick. This is why the Grammy's have always been a fvcking joke to me. Seriously, why else would Jethro Tull win the first year that a metal catagory was introduced? Is there ANYTHING about a flute that says metal to anyone?
ok "Oz", MegaDeth is one of the greatest bands ever. I know Dave Mustaine is a d*** but thats what makes him and MegaDeth so f***ing awesome. He's not gonna complain about loosing and if he won he should of bragged about MegaDeth winning and Metallica not. Metallica sucks now adays so why not rub it in their face's?
ThrashattheHeart: So... You're taking it upon yourself to "school" the man that wrote this article? Good luck with that. I also completely disagree with everything you wrote with the exception of Metallica sucks now (although I must point out that this has been the case since Cliff died).
n0thing: \m/\m/!!! Snot is running down his nose. lolz.
bg1: LOL!!
Also, I would like to add besides the grammy's being complete bullsh** and a f***ing joke, the only good things that happened last nite were pink's kool naked performance, beyonce's legs, miley cyrus starting to look hott (i can't wait for her to get slutty, hit rock bottom then get fat), lady gaga winning best dance album, and taylor swift winning album of the year!! \m/
p.s. black eyed peas and lil wayne piss me the f*** off.
I used to think Megadeth was the greatest band ever... for about three months. Then I got into Pantera, Slayer, Anthrax and from there Venom, Sepultura, Onslaught and so on and so forth. Mustaine complained last time Megadeth didn't win a Grammy so why wouldn't he this time? Especially since everyone has been saying what a good album he's done. Last time they were nominated he moaned about King Diamond being nominated too because King's album hadn't sold as much as them.
Jesus BG1, does your mouth ever get tired from sucking Oz's stank D? I mean come on man.
As far as the Grammys go, it has been well know that they are worthless when it comes to the Metal category. This was established when Tull won over the Metallica. Nuf' said.
Love both bands, but neither of them deserved to win. Alice in Chains should've won Best Hard Rock not only because of all that they've been through, but because they also had a better song. And Megadeth of Lamb of God should've won Best Metal because not only were their songs better, but also they weren't from f***in' 1977. STAY METAL MY FRIENDS!
Dis is def sum fu**ed up news. I thnk Slayer or LOG should've won dat 1. No disrespect but da song by JP is mad old. AC/DC is not wht they used 2 b, they've gone mainstream/commercial & I thnk they're sell-outs if u ask me. I regret buying that album. AIC should've won. Their new album was better thn wht I expected. As far as Megadeth is concerned, if Mustaine stopped complaining/b**ching so much, I would've probably rooted 4 them. Lol!! I wish Cannibal Corpse was nominated or perhaps win a grammy (yea rite, never in a 1000 yrs...I don't thnk they're ready 4 dat 1).
Well, I am pleased with how it turned out. Priest and AC/DC were both my second picks in each of the categories. I think Alice in Chains and MEgadeth should have won. But seeing as they didn't AC/DC and Judas Priest were my second choices. Ministry I am not too much of a fan of, so I didn't care for them much, World Painted Blood was, in my opinion, one of the worst songs off the album and the Lamb of God tune wasn't as strong as Headcrusher or Dissident Aggressor. Once again, it's all opinion. Then when it comes to Hard Rock, Alice in Chains should have won, but seeing as they didn't anyone but Linkin Park or Nickleback was good by me. :] /,,/
Do they even show the rock/heavy metal awards being given on tv anymore? It always seems like if an old well known act puts an album out then they get the nod because of who they are. Just like when someone dies they seem to be much more likely to get an award just because of it. Whatever, who cares about the grammys anyway??
most of you people need to get a life without judas priest their would be no heavy metal. lamb of god are redneck a$$holes. ministry is punk metal, megadeth is great but im tired of mustain b****ing about what could have been. judas priest deserved it they are heavy metal. black sabbath is dead. so judas priest are the current gods of metal. im tired of all the homophobic judas priest bashers go back to the church you got molested from
Yeah, Cynic, Alice In Chains definitely deserved that one. Can't complain about recognizing Judas Priest and AC/DC, but it couldn't sound any more like they picked them just by name/legacy, as neither of their latest works were their best or hold a candle to some of their competition. But this wasn't a RNR Hall of Fame nomination, so people have a right to be outraged. I simply don't give a sh** though, as I'm sure many metalheads don't.
So it was written and recorded 1977 - the performance was recent! It is, after all, "best heavy metal performance." Priest deserved it. Dissident Aggressor is not simply one of Priest's best songs; it's one of the best heavy metal compositions ever. Metal owes a great debt to Priest and to that song. The performance on Live Evil kills.
DB: what ever happened to the whole metal awards, the golden gods awards, if u know? it sounded pretty awesome, and i know it pass alrdy like a long time ago, but was it successful enough to continue annually?? and what were the categories in that?? and if so, who won?? lol sorry, but i'm just rlly curious to know.
if anyone else knows anything, please feel free to respond too \m/
^xdecap lol
What s funny to me about the ac/dc award is metallica usually wins a grammy, theyve made crappy albums since master of puppets, they finally (to me) made a very good lp in death magnetic.....and they lose......unbelieveable
GG awards werent that much better, but it was their 1st year,
^OZ i luv the royal familiy dont get me wrong, but on the local news here in so calif, ive must have seen that prince harry eating sh!t off his polo horse atleast 30 times in 3 days.... UK im sure gets an OD of that as well but damn....harry s the man though, he s a riot but also he s got balls...
@ Cynic : We don't have metal hammer or kerrang in our country. The only international magazines we get are Blender and Rollingstone (and we all know how crappy they are). Apart from that we just have a few national magazines but they focus more on home grown talent and some of the big names in metal.
But, I'm sure Oz is at it already. He'll come up wid something............... Atleast something worth arguing ;-)
cynic: OH!! that's what db meant in 52?? 0.o kuz he left me like "wtf??" lol kuz that's NOT what i was talking about. i say asking about the metal awards show that occurred last yr with a sh**load lengendary of metal bands and sh** plus others that were nominated for stuff, i'm just assuming... look, i just looked it up... this is what i was talking about...
^^^THAT DB lol sorry for the confusion bro. i'm just asking kuz idk who won or anything else about it for that matter. and if there's gonna b another one.
and while on the subject of that list DMS mentioned, can any official MU members participate in the decision process of the winners for each category??
first of all........judas priest and ac/dc won the grammys with a couple of incredibly lame songs compared to what they created in their glory days.........second of all, these two bands are so legendary that they ABSOLUTELY DESERVE the grammys given them, despite the fact that they are not new bands with new sounds.........let's remember that most of these new bands grew up rocking out to priest and ac/dc and owe them an incredible debt of gratitude.........
^ Buddy this is Priest's best song no questions asked...well...personally. But I also know it's a fan favourite, and my only problem with it is that it has been for the better of 45 years. AC/DC are an amazing band (not musically though lol) and deserve credit for that, but they have got all the credit and then some that they deserve. I've seen AC/DC, Lamb of God, and Alice in Chains all in the past one maybe two years in Toronto, and AC/DC was...i hate to say it...the least exciting of the three.
I think they deserve all the credit in the world for their past achievements, but i thought even the Grammys would recognise that it's time to move on recognise some younger talent.
Hey all you Mustaine haters.......Mustaine aint b****in anymore. Check out his myspace blog. He says
I would like to congratulate Rob, Glen, KK and Judas Priest for the Grammy win this year.
Better luck next year, right?
Dave Mustaine"
All you megadeth haters..Go to hell!
Megadeth 4 life
DMS: I'm not a MegaDeth hater, i'm a Dave Cumstain hater. I've been a fan of the music since the early 80's, seen them countless times and actually met Dave when he was strung out on heroin and drunk on vodka. The music (for the most part) is good, but lets face it... Dave is d!ck.
Angus Young Decapitated in Weeklong Challenge Versus Energizer Bunny
By Victor Vittiriti
SYDNEY—After almost a week of headbanging and shaking his torso like a complete maniac, Angus Young, guitarist for the legendary rock band, AC/DC, literally lost his head as it snapped off during a competition with the Energizer Bunny. Witnesses were horrified as the head went flying into the crowd, landing at the feet... »

You're all a bunch of b****es! Shut the f*** up! While I wish that AIC, LoG and/or 'Deth would have won, I'm glad that FINALLY AC/DC and Priest were finally recognized after all these years. The early masters of the past showing the current masters of the present and future of metal how it's done.
Hey Nothinghead: The Golden God awards are an annual heavy metal awards show, I don't think it's organized by a specific group (could be wrong) but it's normally sponsored by a mag like Metal Hammer.
To your other question, only MU staff vote on our best of but you'll be free to post your thoughts underneath as usual :)
VP NH if you have fuse channel it should be on that...last years award show was broadcasted on that channel, thats when i was subjected to watching suicide silence perform and win best live performance of the year which im still scratching my head on that one, anyways fyi...
Posts 9, 59, 60, 70 and a few others sum it all up.
I am a massive Priest fan and hey, I am happy for them b/c I bet they appreciate winning a Grammy after all these years. However, DA is a 30+ year old song that was performed live. I find it strange and well, buggered up that it was in competition against songs written in the current year. The Grammys have and always will be out to lunch when it comes to our music genre. They sh!it the bed when Jethro Tull won n' have never looked back. I rarely watch a minute of the show anymore. Could you imagine how insanely kewl it would be to see today's metal bands on the show AND on stage performing and/or accepting a grammy? Alas, the hate is still strong as ever against metal. On the grammiess, you can see a whacked out chick singing about taking a ride on a disco stick but you cannot watch a few long haired men headbang to the wonderful sound of MOFO METAL!
RTB: naw i wish bro lol that's funny about the suicide silence thing. now u mentioning it, i don't understand it either. at all. i've seen them before and they were NOT bad for deathcore. but, that's it. nothing THAT too special imo and obviously in urs too. well i'm just about getting psyched up to get rdy for DEVILDRIVER!!! it'll b my 1st time seeing them.
they pray for villains when their heroes let them down \m/
This is so crazy. Judas Priest, no doubt, gods of metal. Currently one of the biggest, if not the biggest, metal band in the world still performing today. But COME ON. That song is before they were actually metal in the first place! I think Lamb of God should have won this award for "Set to Fail", though I do think that "Reclamation" was the best, and most METAL, song on Wrath. I will say this about Wrath though... Lamb of God is no doubt my favorite band of all time. Been a fan since Gospel, BUT Wrath is just... ugh, in my opinion the worst LoG album to date. But it is a Lamb of God album, nonetheless, so it still rocks. I think Mastodon should have been nominated, and I know I'll catch flack for this, but the fictional band Dethklok (from [adult swim]'s Metalocalypse) should have been nominated too. The Dethalbum II was brutal! Oh well, I guess I've made my point. Screw Priest. LAMB OF GOD RULES!

Brilliant Rovers shrugged off falling a goal down for a fully deserved win over Leyton Orient.
A pair of penalties from Liam Mandeville - reaching five goals in as many games - put Rovers out of sight after Jordan Houghton cancelled out Callum Kennedy's stunning free kick for Orient.
Rovers dominated from the start, bossing the game as they picked up where they left off against Hartlepool United the previous weekend.
Boss Darren Ferguson understandably kept faith with the same starting XI that performed so well against Hartlepool.
Marko Marosi recovered from the issue of blurred vision which forced him off against Hartlepool to take his place between the sticks.
Rovers started superbly, keeping possession with real patience and composure, working the ball from back to front and forcing Orient onto the back foot.
Mathieu Baudry headed over the bar from a James Coppinger corner in the first real opportunity of the game.
Andy Butler needed to be alert to get in ahead of Ollie Palmer to prevent him from turning Michael Collins' header past Marosi.
Rovers were unfortunate to not go ahead around the quarter hour mark.
First, Andy Butler headed a ball back across the face of goal and John Marquis charged in, only to see Orient keeper Alex Cisak claw his header over the bar.
From the subsequent corner, Rovers twice hit the bar. Tommy Rowe struck the woodwork with a header before Butler turned the roundbound onto the bar also.
The chaos had barely subsided when Orient took the lead with a quite stunning goal.
From all of 35 yards, Kennedy powered a sublime free kick into the top corner, giving Marosi no chance.
It was harsh on Rovers but they recovered quickly to push for a goal of their own.
Jordan Houghton drilled a shot from 25 yards which deflected just wide.
And they hit the bar for a third time when Liam Mandeville curled a fine effort from just inside the area which clattered back off the woodwork.
Orient defender Tom Parkes produced a brilliant diving block to keep out Coppinger's powerful drive.
Rovers continued to come forward in wave after wave of attacks, building patiently as Orient settled into defensive mode with plenty of bodies back.
Just when it seemed as though Rovers would go in undeservedly behind, they grabed an equaliser on the stroke of 45 minutes.
A corner was cleared out only as far as Houghton who slammed in first time from just outside the box.
Rovers started the second house in the same manner they finished the first.
Within seconds, Mandeville slammed a shot into the side-netting while moments later Coppinger charged into the area and smacked a shot just wide of the far post.
The goal to put Rovers ahead came 14 minutes into the half. Matty Blair darted into the area and was felled by Josh Koroma, making his first contribution after coming off the bench.
Mandeville stepped up and slammed the penalty into the bottom left corner, sending Cisak the wrong way.
Seven minutes later a cushion had been established, again from the penalty spot. Rowe twisted and turned in the box until he was clipped by Parkes. Mandeville again did the honours and placed his kick into the opposite corner.
Orient pushed in the later stages and it took a brilliant save on his line from Marko Marosi to claw away a header from Paul McCallum.
Koroma powerd over the bar from 15 yards but there as no way back for Orient.
Mandeville was desperate for his hat trick and danced into the area before striking straight at Cisak.
Rovers: Marosi, Alcock, Baudry, Butler, Mason, Houghton, Blair, Rowe, Coppinger (Beestin 90), Mandeville (Longbottom 90), Marquis. Subs not used: Jones, Wright, Evina, Keegan, Calder.
Orient: Cisak, Judd, Pollock, Parkes, Kennedy, Collins, Atangana, Weir, Semedo (Koroma 57), Simpson, Palmer (McCallum 65). Subs not used: Sargeant, Dunne, Bowery, Dalby, Janse.
Referee: Robert Jones (Merseyside)

Everyone's favorite - Normandy Camo M40 faked to near perfection.
Everyone's favorite - Normandy Camo M40 faked to near perfection.
Thank's for sharing those pic's milan.Some of those Helmet's are designed to fool us and very well done.It's big buisness now faking Helmet's and they are out for a fast buck.Trouble is they are ripping people off and making a farce of the entire hobby.If your photo's save one person a small fortune then it was worth it
Cheer's mate
Hell these are getting good:-/
Thank's for the warning but what gave it away?
I know this helmet is a repaint because I did it myself. Although I called it a "fake" it's not meant to deceive. I clearly mark my helmets on the inside as repaints and I have posted an on-line photographic record of my work on the German Helmet Walhalla and Militaria Collectors Forum sites. This is the first of my helmets that I have posted here.
Well in that case nice work!
I hate to call somthing like that a fake and would prefer to call it a reproduction.Very nice job of painting and ageing.Do you sell them or just keep them for your own display? It's hard to define fake when it is in fact real but just not of the period.I have put chicken wire cammo on a couple of Helmet's to improve the look but alway's tell the buyer's so as not to decieve.
Hi guys,
Check this "original" paint
Although an adaquite opinion told me what for many of you is probably quite clear, I still baught it; it was about 120 euro, original Quist shell
Not a bad paint job, but a double decal M40 is a dead give-away that something aint right.
Dear milan12,
if this German WL M38 is a fake, it's a really good one. The shell is an original, in my opinion - just compare its shape. But the liner also does show those elements that in my opinion haven't been faked yet.
I wouldn't disregard this helmet straight away.
Hi guy's,
I read that the decal has been picked up as M40's never had a tri-colour.Also in my opinion the colour is wrong for an M40 as they were not apple green but in fact a dark grey matt finish with graphite material to give a rough finish more suitable for combat.Original decal's don't flake off like that either and can take an enormous amount of punishment when you consider they were applied after the Helmet was painted.I have an M35 that was blown to piece's and buried in Russia but still the tri-colour survived!! (will place a thread on that to show member's soon)
Anyway not a bad Helmet for a display and look's good.It may be better to remove the tri-colour and leave the eagle on the other side if it has one
I've heard the snipers were the reson for removal of the tri-colour.
It has an eagle

Publisher: Allen and Unwin Australia
Release Date: January 1st, 2015
Genres: Contemporary, Drama, YA
Pages: 352
Source: Received in exchange for review
Goodreads | Purchase
Frankie Landau-Banks at age 14: Debate Club. Her father's 'bunny rabbit'. A mildly geeky girl attending a highly competitive boarding school.
Frankie Landau-Banks at age 15: A knockout figure. A sharp tongue. A chip on her shoulder.
And a gorgeous new senior boyfriend: the supremely goofy, word-obsessed Matthew Livingston.
Frankie Landau-Banks: No longer the kind of girl to take 'no' for an answer. Especially when 'no' means she's excluded from her boyfriend's all-male secret society. Not when her ex-boyfriend shows up in the strangest of places. Not when she knows she's smarter than any of them. When she knows Matthew's lying to her. And when there are so many, many pranks to be done.
Frankie Landau-Banks at age 16: Possibly a criminal mastermind.
This is the story of how she got that way.
Reading The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks just goes to show that loving one book by an author doesn't guarantee you'll love every book by that said author. (I should know this after reading so many books but no, I am a person who never learns ._.) I read We Were Liars almost a year ago and well, let's just say it made my top 10 reads of 2014. (If you want to know why I loved it, I suggest you check out the discussion review/fangirling session Celine and I did.) Unfortunately for this book, there's no doubt it won't be landing my top 10 for 2015.
It is better to be alone, she figures, than to be with someone who can't see who you are. It is better to lead than to follow. It is better to speak up than stay silent. It is better to open doors than to shut them on people.
So apparently, this is a feminist book. And for me, I didn't see The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks as a feminist novel at all. We are introduced to Frankie as a strong-headed and determined girl who doesn't like being talked to condescendingly and hates taking 'no' for an answer. I wanted to love this girl, for she initially sounded like someone I can strongly identify with, but I soon was proved wrong–Frankie got less likeable more and more throughout the book. Here are the reasons why I was completely ticked off by her.
Frankie gets pretty irked when she discovers that there is a secretive all boys society which is known as the Basset Hounds. Her boyfriend, Matthew Livingstone, is apart of it too and what pisses her of more is that Matthew did not tell her about this society. Soon Frankie decides that she wants in on this all males society which, to me, sounded completely absurd in the first place. I mean really, the things that the boys do in this society is so freakin' lame. Anyways, Frankie soon starts stalking her boyfriend and decides that the only way she'll get into the Basset Hounds is to prove to the boys that she's way better than all of them. Which, didn't make any sense to me. If Frankie felt that she was better than the boys, why even bother dealing with in the first place?–they're not worth her time and efforts. And this leads me to my second complaint about Frankie. She was constantly trying to prove herself to Matthew and the other boys. When one of the boys said something to her (mainly Matthew), Frankie would analyse and go through all the possible responses then select the best one to reply with for the Matthew and the boys to respect her more. Essentially, this book was about Frankie who followed the boys around everywhere just so she could get their approval of her. Does that sound like a feminist novel to you?
No, I didn't think so.
And don't let me get started on how much the boys in this novel annoyed me. These boys don't recognise (or admit to recognise) a girl until she starts getting fat in the right places. HOW RIDICULOUS IS THAT?
What I did appreciate about this novel was Frankie's wit. She's a really smart girl, who just didn't put her efforts in the right places. I particularly liked Frankie's 'neglected positive' words and it was really entertaining to read about. Sure, her motives and ideas totally sucked, but there were a few positives about Frankie, and I'm not ready to just forget them despite how much I hated the plot line.
In my opinion, E. Lockhart tried to achieve too much here. This is certainly not a feminist novel and so many characters here put me on edge and how obviously rude they were (namely, the boys–like Matthew Livingstone). I won't be recommending this book, so if you want to try E. Lockhart, I suggest you turn to a much better novel by her; We Were Liars.
