The amazing comic art GIFs of ABVH
We do love a good GIF here at Robot 6. I could make all sorts of bold claims for the format, like it's one of the first great digital native art forms. I could quote the nerds at the Oxford American Dictionaries who, after making it their 2012 word of the year, announced "the GIF has evolved from a medium for pop-cultural memes into a tool with serious applications including research and journalism, and its lexical identity is transforming to keep pace." Or I could just point you to the Tumblr blog of the pseudonymous GIF creator ABVH, clearly someone who loves comics.
In the last few weeks he's posted animated versions of images by Kevin O'Neill and Yale Stewart, but the clear winner is this unsettling adaptation of Jock's instant-classic cover to Detective Comics #880.
I'm looking at that and thinking about the hours of work he's put into creating it: it must have been exacting, exhausting, a real labor of love.
Webcomic creator Yale Stewart is another Robot 6 favorite, due to his charming webcomic JL8. Here ABVH takes Stewart's composition and imbues it with even more character, if possible.
And here's one of two Kev O'Neill League of Extraordinary Gentlemen covers that ABVH has posted in the last month. I love this, I've been humming the overture from Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of War of the Worlds all day since seeing it. All together now! "The chances of anything coming from Mars, were a million to one they said. BUT STILL THEY COME!"

Greensboro, NC – The Florida State men's swimming and diving team put on a dominant display on day two of the ACC Swimming and Diving Championships taking three of the four events. The Seminole 200 yard freestyle relay team set a new ACC meet record as did junior Pavel Sankovich in the 200 IM. Mark Weber also took home gold in the 50 yard freestyle.
The Seminoles set the tone for the night in the first swim of the finals session. The 200 yard freestyle relay team of Paul Murray, Trice Bailey, David Sanders and Mark Weber set a meet record posting a time of 1:17.42. The new ACC meet record was set by the same group of Seminoles who established the top time last year at 1:17.73.
"Our top end kids are swimming great," said Seminole Head Coach Neil Harper. "To come out tonight and win the free relay to get it started was exciting. They've been the best in the conference all year and to hold it here with an eye on NCAAs is a credit to them."
In the 200 IM two-time Olympian Sankovich took gold setting a new ACC meet record at 1:43.22, which was also an automatic qualifying time for the upcoming NCAA Championships. The Belarus native out-paced the field by nearly two full seconds to capture his first ACC title. He broke the record set in 2009 by Georgia Tech's Gal Nevo. Sankovich's gold plus another point from Juan Sequera who finished 16th with a time of 1:49.44 gave the Seminoles 21 points in the event.
"To come in and get an automatic NCAA cut time was a huge boost and a credit to Pavel," said Harper. "It's also a credit to how he's adjusted to Tallahassee and the team has really helped him train."
In the 50 yard freestyle the top two times in the prelims were established by Florida State swimmers so the pressure was on the Seminoles in the finals and the sprinters came through taking gold and silver. Weber followed up his second place finish in the prelims by edging out teammate Paul Murray for the top spot on the podium. Murray, who has been posting some of the fastest 50 times in the nation this year, came in just .15 seconds behind his teammate posting a 19.59 compared to Murray's 19.44.
"Going 1-2 in the 50 was one of the goals coming here but Mark being a senior and winning was just so good," said Harper. "It was great for Paul to get second also."
Florida State picked up critical points in the 500 yard freestyle thanks to senior John Jessel. The Miami, Fla. native finished eighth with a time of 4:23.47 as he continued his remarkable season after not participating in the ACC Swimming and Diving Championships as a junior last year. His 11 points in the distance swim helped keep the Seminoles in top three at the end of day two.
Friday's lineup in Greensboro includes the 400 yard medley relay, 400 yard IM, 100 yard butterfly, 200 yard freestyle, 100 yard breaststroke and 100 yard backstroke. The Seminoles currently trail meet leading Virginia which has 256 points. Virginia Tech sits 39 points back with 217, ahead of Florida State with 205 and North Carolina with 192.
"We had some highlights tonight but we need a gut check tomorrow morning to keep pace with the top teams," said Harper. "Several of our guys have their favorite events coming up so I think we are ready for the challenge."
Live coverage of the finals on Friday and Saturday can be seen on the ACC Digital Network on theACC.com and on ESPN3 starting at 7 p.m. For more on the 2013 ACC Swimming and Diving Championships, head to the official website at http://theacc.co/SwimDiveChamps.

I wish I didn't feel so crappy. I wish I was more motivated. I wish I wasn't such a baby... I mean, what if I had to go to 40 weeks?! That'd be a sight.
I think I feel crappy because I forgot to turn on the air conditioner.
I wish Jen could follow me around for a day and tell me what exactly I am doing wrong when it comes to cleaning and keeping my house clean. Why am I useless in this venture? I do it ALL DAY LONG and nothing looks any different when Jason gets home at night.
I'm now positive about the crappiness being linked to the air conditioner.
My camera is officially broken. It's been unoficially broken for a few months and even took a trip to the KODAK center and still... it fails on me the week before my 2nd baby arrives. Hm.
On a positive note:
The B.p.p. series of tests I was supposed to have done at the dr. got called off during the test, because all my #s were perfect. Yay, the baby is not stressed!
Paisley is saying and doing some of the sweetest things lately. I am spending gobs of time playing with her, doing puzzles and letters. We have had lots of fun.
I can't wait for my mom and dad to get here next sunday. I realize that our location puts a damper on the "fun" level, it's no Nashville, but I know Nana and Papa can make do, and make it a super fun week for Paisley. I am so thankful that they are able to come out here and help.
I hear the little lovie in the bathroom- gotta go!

Rachel, you're such a sweetie! I love that you put your frustrations on here for us to see. I too feel like some days the house looks exactly the same as it did when Dave left, even if I have worked ALL DAY on it! Thanks for reminding me that we all have those days. Best of luck with your c-section. I am so excited to see your sweet boy. We love you guys!

Bug, you're the bestest. Don't worry about a thing. Even if Jen did have anything to change about your house-wife skills you know she'd just do it for you...so relax and enjoy what is sure to be the last 4 days of sanity you have left in this world. xoxo

XYLIO Future DJ Pro.v220.127.116.11 MacOSX
Category: Software
XYLIO Future DJ Pro v22.214.171.124 MacOSX | 166 Mb
FutureDecks DJ pro is our flagship product, packed with the latest professional DJ features that answer the needs of both professional and aspiring DJs. FutureDecks DJ pro can easily be used by all manner of DJs, from bedroom DJs who enjoy creating their own mashups and mixes in the comfort of their home, to DJs that perform in clubs and other live performance conditions. Thanks to an impressive number of advanced and flexible features, there is nothing limiting your creative flow, other than your own creativity.
You will find the automatic BPM detection very precise allowing you to instantly sync and change between the 4 decks. The smart-sync function guarantees that no matter what deck is playing (A, B, C or D), when you press the Sync button the other decks will be in perfect sync with it.
For musically perfect mixes you can lock (master tempo) or change the key to your desired one to achieve not only beat-matched but also key-matched performances. The app even detects the key of a song/video to considerably simplify harmonic mixing.
The waveform graphic display gives you real time audio signal monitoring, information about the audio signal and the beat rhythm. It can be configured to display more or less of the song, using the zoom in and zoom out buttons. Each deck has 3 waveforms: a full waveform, a horizontal zoomable waveform and a vertical waveform. The vertical waveforms are all located above the mixer, next to one another so that you can visually align the beats of all 4 tracks. The playlist has evolved into a practical instrument of quickly finding and loading the tracks you want. You can filter your tracks by format, be it audio, video or karaoke by using the Audio, Video and Karaoke buttons. Color markers make it even easier to spot your favorite songs, because you can assign different colors to any track you desire.

Quite frankly, some of the modeling and texturing from these students is better than some industry stuff that I've seen.
Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) January 31, 2014
Vancouver computer animation school Think Tank Training Centre is excited to announce that two of its recent graduates (Emily Luk and Arista Jemie Soh) have both been hired as texture artists by Prime Focus World, a visual effects, 3D conversion and animation company with offices all over the globe.
The Foundry's cutting-edge 3D paint tool MARI, gives users a fluid way to paint directly onto 3D models. It was originally developed during the production of James Cameron's Avatar. At Think Tank, the course featuring this innovative software is taught by high-profile instructor Chris Nichols, who is also a senior texture artist at Digital Domain. His texture painting will be featured in X-Men: Days of Future Past, and can also be viewed in Jack the Giant Slayer and Thor. The graduate artists were mentored by Justin Holt, Lead Texture Painter at Image Engine, who did texturing for recent films Rango, R.I.P.D. and Elysium.
"Quite frankly, some of the modeling and texturing from these students is better than some industry stuff that I've seen," said Holt. Think Tanks up-to-date industry-relevant curriculum, commitment to its students, and high profile instructors, ensure a strong reputation of future placement for its graduates at prestigious organizations like Prime Focus World.
Thousands of schools offer specialized programs in computer animation, but Think Tank sets itself apart for many reasons. Not only do they offer high profile instructors who work in the field they teach, but they also receive program advice from Vancouver's top film and game studios. Combine this with a small class size of twelve students, dedicated work stations, and equipment/software exceeding industry standards; you get one of the best CG Schools in the world.

Father René Laurentin (RIP – October 19, 1917 – September 10, 2017). See his wiki. His doctoral work, a collection of the comments of the Fathers of the Church throughout the early centuries throughout the ancient world in whatever ancient language specifically on Genesis 3:15, duly received a footnote in my own thesis on Genesis. We both have our publications on the shelves of the PBI. I thank him for his dedication and patience in putting such an opus together. No small feat. A real treasure.
I first got to know Father Laurentin in the 1990s at a world wide get-together of exorcists across the crater from Castel Gondolfo. We had quite the discussion about the title to a paper I wrote for the occasion on exorcism legislation in Canon Law. The title was in Greek, citing Mk 5:7: ὁρκίζω σε τὸν θεόν. It's actually Satan who, incredibly, makes brave to speak those words, attempting stupidly to put Jesus under an exorcism in the name of God the Father. Father Laurentin couldn't wrap his mind around the double accusative in the Greek. To my shame, I admit that I decided on that title on purpose, knowing it was tricky. I'm evil and bad. Sorry Father. Please forgive me. I was young and rambunctious. Father Laurentin has also written on exorcism, as one might have predicted from his work on Genesis 3:15. Good for him.
There were other occasions for us to have a good chat, such as when I was a permanent chaplain at Lourdes. It was his practice to stay with the chaplains when he came to Lourdes. I asked him about his equivocation of religion and nationality for those in the former Yugoslavia, saying that, instead, the locals knew the difference between the two, with the upshot being that his publicized and controversial rationalization for apparent religious indifferentism proposed by the "apparition" in Medjugorje was illegitimate and that the "apparition" was wrong to have such a laissez-faire ecclesiology. I know he was already older at that time, but I wanted to give him a chance to recant. Pope Francis did the right thing.
Then there was the time I met Father Laurentin at the very top of the tower of "Vatican Bank", and before that, up in the Apostolic Palace, a number of times…
Father is a complex figure. We are all that, complex. Some of his writings I didn't much like, others I did like, a lot. Apart from that…
Father Laurentin was always the gentleman, always the scholar, always sincerely devoted to Our Lady and to making known in his own way heaven's care for us, just what you might expect from a good priest. I wish there were more like him.
So, here's the words of the Rector of Lourdes: Continue reading

Here he is, just a few minutes old and already the center of our world.
And here he is hitting the big 7!!!! Ok, not the most flattering photo but I had trouble getting him to be still for even a second and this was the best I could do.
We had a small party for him at the restaurant, with just our family (minus Aunt Cheryl-we missed you but he loves his Hot Wheels Elimination Racetrack). Nicholas was so darned funny about his "small party" as he called it. He gave me a list over the phone of things he wanted me to purchase for it and then made me read the list back to him. After tweaking the list and going over it a couple of times, he must have then lost all confidence in me, as he told me to just pick him and he would go with me. Ugh, I have no idea where he gets this.
He is having a large birthday party on the 13th with his friends, we needed to wait until school started to make sure we didn't exclude anyone. Gonna be a hectic couple of weeks with Nick's party on the 13th and Grey's on the 20th. But my boys are gonna have a ton of fun!
I'll update next week with pictures of their first day of school. Can't believe it is here already. And I am really having a hard time believing my baby is starting Kindergarten.

City Council Districts Charter Amendment Petition
(I'm doggedly neutral on this, but wanted to pass on the information for you to decide. Here's their website and here's Councilmember Burgess's view on the idea)
A friend is currently working to give citizens of Seattle representation by district at our City Council.You might consider signing the attached petition to: Give Seattle voters a chance to vote on changing the structure of our City Council by adding your signature to the DISTRICTS NOW Charter Amendment. Your signature helps put this Charter Amendment on the November 2009 ballot.
The goal of this Charter Amendment is to change our City Council from 9 all at-large Council positions to 5 districted and 4 at-large positions. Everyone will still get to vote for 5 of the 9 City Council positions – their district representative and the 4 at-large positions.
Some of the reasons Seattle voters have been supporting this Amendment are:
- To give a stronger voice to neighborhoods.
- To strengthen our ability to hold our elected Councilmembers accountable with our vote.
- Enables the districted positions to do grassroots campaigning within their community to get to know the local issues.
- 90% of all U.S. cities (population of 350,000+) have either all districts or a hybrid with a majority of districted positions.
- Only 5 of the 52 largest U.S. cities have all at-large Councils, with Detroit being the largest at-large city in the Nation.
- Seattle's Council structure was put into place in 1910 and no longer serves a city that has more than doubled in size.
- Save a tree – 5 candidates won't be mailing or dropping pamphlets throughout the entire city.

I have long been a fan of science fiction due in equal measure to the creative freedom it allows authors and the resultant joy to be had as a reader. Given the choice, though, I've always gravitated towards fantasy as my vehicle for escapism, due to a subconscious bias created by the large quantity of good fantasy recommended to me at a young age. It was only a few months ago that I realized that, despite the fondness I have for sci-fi, I have not read the majority of works that form the cornerstone of sci-fi literature. It was with a view to correcting this that I picked up Isaac Asimov's The Complete Robot.
Asimov does not disappoint. This anthology contains thirty-one short stories that he wrote between 1939 and 1977 and each one, as expected, is about robots. Yet this master of the genre, while at times predictable, is in no way boring. Adventure, romance, mystery, drama – you will find all of these things contained within. You will meet lovable characters, both human and robot, you will relish Asimov's flair for plot and logic, devour story after story entertained at every turn and then when you have finished, you will crave more. Asimov's stories in this volume are about all sorts of robots, from computers to androids, glorified abaci to highly sophisticated thinking machines. However, his stories have internal consistency – all these stories take place in the same world, albeit in different places and at different points along a timeline. I found this added to the charm of the anthology since each story furthers one's knowledge of the literary world of Asimov; the reader isn't forced to adjust his or her understanding to a tabula rasa at the beginning of a new story. In fact, my favourite stories were those which featured the same characters – such as ever-logical barely-human Susan Calvin, the Chief Robopsychologist of US Robots or that robo-testing duo renowned for their derring do, Donovan and Powell.
There are only two things about this anthology that irked me. The first was the section-break introductions that Asimov has written that pepper the book. He comes across as completely lacking in humility and a bit full of himself. The second is his undeniable sexism – women in his stories are submissive both in nature and in role, most often appearing as the stereotypical housewife. Even the aforementioned Susan Calvin who appears in quite a few stories, is a reluctant protagonist, handicapped by her gender. Both these flaws can be easily overlooked and it is quite possible that a reader might not even see them as such. Regardless, a great man may be forgiven much and Asimov is clearly a great man.
In closing, I whole-heartedly recommend this book, to fans of the short-story and fans of sci-fi: if you happen to be both, you will be doubly pleased! It is an excellent companion for journeys, particularly short ones; not too heavy to carry along on your daily commute, with stories just the right style and length to be an easy distraction and yet not so engrossing that you miss your stop. This isn't a tumultuous love-affair sort of book that you will sit up reading all night. It is the kind of book that will sit on your bookshelf for life, well-thumbed and dog-eared – a lifetime friend that will be lent, over the years, to many a non-sci-fi reader as an introduction to the genre. This, ultimately, is the greatest success of the book – it is the perfect gateway drug for a lifetime of sci-fi addiction.

The #89 week's AFI/IMDb challenge is between Braveheart and The Sixth Sense.
Remember when Mel Gibson wasn't the punch line of a joke? Me neither. So watching Braveheart from a 2012-Janie's perspective was much different than when I watched it from a 1995-Janie's perspective.
Don't get me wrong , the movie is still graphically violent, brutal, heartbreaking and epic in its… 3 hour epicness. And nobody who was over twelve years old in 1995 didn't run around yelling, "You can take our lives, but you cannot take…" Yeah, you know it. I didn't even have to finish.
But Mel is not the guy he was nearly 20 years ago. Regardless of how bat-crazy he is now, he was still beautiful as William Wallace. Even being tortured from beginning to end in Braveheart.
Of course, cute little Haley Joel Osment was pretty much tortured from beginning to end in The Sixth Sense, also. And in 1999 we all ran around whispering "I see dead people…" So as far as catch phrases go, I guess both films are equal.
I am not a huge M. Night Shyamalan fan. I think he is mostly a one-trick pony. But dang, what a trick! The man can definitely set a mood, as long as that mood is spooky. But I loved Sixth Sense. I really can't believe it didn't crack the IMDb's top 100. Definitely gets my vote for this week.
So AFI gains another vote, making the score AFI – 9 to IMDb – 3. Next week some comedies, finally! The great screwball Bringing Up Baby vs. Chaplin's The Great Dictator.

Posts Tagged 'Job and Career'
Looking for a Careeror for a Job ?
Just like you enter your responsibilities market, (for when or after a few years) you will probably find that you will discover numerous of buzzwords thrown backwards around, for example the terms employment and career. You can be searching for a career, but the truth is aren't preparing to enter the particular career economy! Decide if you are looking at a job or perhaps career in these days, and learn how to get the position you wish.
According to your Oxford Language Dictionary, an activity is a form of work for you to do owing to your discipline. An occupation also identifies paid a job. An employment, according to your OED, is actually a "person's tutorial or develop through lifespan." This defines profession as where you are engaged, and career as being the field when you give good results.
Even though it's possible you have lost your task, you could still enjoy a career. By way of example, if you will be an x-ray technician who's been let go, chances are you are able to seek out new work inside the field. Your career might switch slightly: you can become your dental x-ray computer specialist, or your veterinary x-ray technician rather than hospital x-ray specialist, but you should still continue to be an x-ray mechanic.
You can love to change either your career or your job. For case in point, you will probably still are looking for your career for a computer computer technician, but you should advance towards higher paying and many more prestigious activity. This will mean finding a different an occupation and quitting should never job. Moreover, you will probably feel that you like to change your job. Perhaps contend with getting lost feel that you like to deemed a computer computer professional and instead you intend to become an important journalist. Career-changes are usually more time-consuming this job-changes when they often demand training. You will see yourself interested in experience inside of a field along with which amount s of these experience. Or career-changes none job-changes will be impossible, and they often they get much pleasure.
When you are looking at a fresh job, you must consider how this works for your job. Some people today choose not to undertake a career. Rather than having a strong over-arching intention in lifespan, or on the field whereby they would like to specialize, we can rather easily move coming from job towards job. They could wait tables for a couple of years, then act as a receptionist, in that case work around retail.

PITTSBURGH — Range Resources will pay penalties totaling $4.15 million to settle violations related to six Marcellus Shale gas drilling and fracking wastewater impoundments in Washington County that caused soil and groundwater contamination.
It's the largest fine ever imposed against a Marcellus Shale gas drilling company, according to the state Department of Environmental Protection.
The consent order will result in the closing of five of the football-field-sized impoundments and require Range Resources to upgrade its operations at two others to meet more stringent, but as yet to be adopted, state standards.

- The Tyvek suit did what it was supposed to do, but I am 6'2", with 36/37 inch sleeves, so with the XL the arms are a bit short - as well as the ankles. It would also be better if the collar went up higher on the neck, and if there was at least a small velcro strip to secure the neck. (Posted on 10/19/2009)

I have a drinking problem
That feels weird writing and even weirder seeing it written down. Why is it so hard to write about addictions and alcohol? Why is there such a taboo about this topic?
Oh well maybe because it forces you to deal with my innermost insecurities and fears to get to the bottom of the problem.
But let's start at the beginning.
I have a drinking problem, in so far as that I get a deadly hangover the day after, vomiting violently about every 30mins for up to 12 hours. I can't keep any food or liquids inside. Believe me I tried, more than a teaspoon of water is already too much. When it's really bad I am still exhausted the day after the hangover. Turns out that not being able to eat and being dehydrated for an entire day ist pretty strenuous.
The weird part is that sometimes I can drink like a lumberjack and not have any problems at all and one time I was knocked out for one and a half days from one beer.
My mother always urged me to stop drinking altogether, but that was hard. Giving up drinking with my friends and strangers would have meant to becoming even weirder and not feel part of the group. Not to mention the justification. Everyone would congratulate you if you'd stopped smoking, but if you stopped drinking for your health's sake, people will look at you funny and you need to explain yourself a lot. And still not get any recognition or understanding. It's so fucked up.
Over the time I noticed some patterns emerging, it got better once I moved out of my hometown, the frustration of living in a small town where everyone except my closest friends knew me as the daughter of or later still the sister from … was annoying as hell. I would still have some bad hangovers after I moved out, but they seemed less frequent. But whenever I came back to participate in some of the village festivities like Schützenfest, I mostly got those hangovers. This is hard to explain in english, I linked to the wikipedia article above, but let's just say there were a bunch of people around I superficially know, only meet when they are drunk and just don't enjoy the company of. Like the rural version of Here from Alessia Cara (love the song, btw)
I had to learn the very hard way to detach myself from these situations and just not go the event xyz just because people were expecting it of me. And I am still not sure if it was expected of me or if I just thought it was expected of me. But there were different situations as well without any perceived pressure from my family but only internal pressure to perform and look happy when all I wanted was to stay in and read a book or sleep.
Some lessons I took away from 10 years of violent hangovers:
- You have to listen to yourself closely, if you are somewhere you don't want to be, don't drown that feeling in alcohol but instead leave earlier or not go at all
- It is okay if you can not and will not drink as much as the boys
- Don't just eat a frigging salad, but a plate of pasta before you go out
- Stick to one type of liquor, I swear by WodkaSoda
- Beer before liquor, never been sicker ; liquor before beer all in the clear
- Be kind to yourself if you relapse
- But analyse what the circumstances where so you can avoid them in the future
Cheers to knowing yourself and to self-care

Former Tottenham boss Martin Jol has not ruled out a return to management in England.
He told AD Sportwereld: "Anything is possible. Another club in England, another foreign club or returning to Holland.
"I could step into a job where I can build the team up from the bottom or I could choose to go to a club with experienced players, because you can win prizes much more easily with those kind of players."
The 51-year-old continued," I want to recharge my batteries first," he said in a telephone interview on TV station Het Gesprek. "But when something good crosses my path, I want to think about that.
"I have lived here (in London) for three years already and I find England a fantastic country.
"But if I get a good feeling about Ajax, I absolutely will think about that. I would like to become champions somewhere."

I'm in the process of cutting down on the amount of notebooks I have so I can be a little more organized and de-clutter my work space. I seem to buy a new notebook each month because it looks purdy and then I ditch my old notebooks before they're full. I'm also horrible at using day timers as I forget to write in them for weeks at a time. So I decided to put together one binder to hold all my thoughts, notes and goals and create a sheet for the front to use as a planner to organize my weekly to-do lists.

There are lots of good reasons to vote for Indya Kincannon for the Knox County School Board, but honestly, I'd probably vote for her even if I didn't know anything about her views simply because she's the only political candidate I know of with beautiful pictures of her waterbirth included on her campaign website.

CBS' upcoming Supergirl series has found its James Olsen in True Blood's Mehcad Brooks.
EW has the news, and stresses that Supergirl's Olsen will be a different take on the character from the one we know from the comics (aka 'Jimmy' Olsen). Brooks' character will be photographer at CatCo, the media company where Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, works, and had previously been working in National City for mysterious reasons. He may be a potential love interest for Kara, played by Melissa Benoist.
Brooks is best known for his role as Benedict 'Eggs' Talley in True Blood, although you may also recognize him episodes of Desperate Housewives and Necessary Roughness.
The official description for the new Supergirl series reads: "Born on the planet Krypton, Kara Zor-El escaped amid its destruction years ago. Since arriving on Earth, she's been hiding the powers she shares with her famous cousin. But now at age 24, she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be."
Warner Bros. Television is producing Supergirl for CBS. There's no official word as to a premiere date as yet in any territories.

You can never have too much Klaine smut, can you?
The correct answer to that rhetorical question is "No, Genia, you can't. Please continue writing essentially plotless Klaine smut for our and your own slightly creepy amusement. It doesn't make you a massive pervert at all."
Anyway, as you probably guessed from the title, this little fic is about the universally acknowledged fact that Kurt Hummel is definitely sexy, even if he doesn't know how to be.
Chuck some reviews at me.
And it's probably a good thing that I don't own Glee.
The Unintentional Sexiness of Kurt Hummel
Kurt never believed me whenever I told him he was sexy. I didn't really understand why. For someone who dressed so fabulously all the time, he didn't seem to think that much of himself, at least not in a sexual context. We had only just taken our relationship to the next level, but even after our most heated make out sessions and our most fevered love-making, Kurt was still convinced that he wasn't sexy and he didn't know how to be. That was only half true. He wasn't good at being sexy on purpose, but when he wasn't actually trying he was sexy as hell.
The fact that it was all so unintentional was a large part of the appeal. It was all so... innocent. The littlest thing could just drive me wild, like when he would suck on the end of his pen while writing notes in a class, or when he would shimmy his shoulders along to the music during Glee rehearsals. Little things that he didn't even realise he was doing. Kurt's unintentional sexiness had very gradually turned into my number one fetish.
Like a few weekends ago, for example, when I was at his house watching movies in his bedroom. His dad and his step-mom were home so the door was ajar, as was the rule. Considering we were just slouching around in his house, Kurt was still well-dressed, although he insisted that this was him 'dressing down', and it was what he was wearing that had gotten me so hot and bothered that I could hardly pay attention to the film.
He was wearing this baggy black sweater, so baggy that it was slipping off one of his shoulders and showing off his pale, creamy neck that I was absolutely dying to kiss. The black only made him look even paler, like he was made of porcelain and would break if I handled him too roughly. He was also wearing blue skinny jeans, so tight that they could have been painted on. When he got up to put a different movie in the DVD player I couldn't help but watch him. I didn't mean to leer, but he walked with such a flirty little wiggle that it was impossible not to stare that perfect ass in those devastating skinny jeans. I had to grab one of his pillows to hide the bulge in my pants.
"You look so damn hot, sweetheart," I said.
Kurt scoffed as he sat back down next to me. "Whatever. I look like a slob today. I haven't even done my hair."
"You are so blind to your own sexiness, Kurt," I laughed.
"Now you're just being ridiculous," he said, rolling his eyes. "You know I suck at being sexy."
I just shook my head at him. He was so oblivious.
One night I just couldn't handle Kurt's unintentional sexiness anymore. I could no longer just sit back and watch while he drove me wild with lust without even realising it. I probably would have imploded from the pressure of it all if I hadn't acted on this particular occasion.
My parents were out of town so he was spending the night at my house, and we'd fallen asleep in my bed after having slow, sweet, gentle sex. I was sleeping quite soundly, but a noise very abruptly brought me back to consciousness. It was a moan, a moan that I definitely recognised. I turned around and looked over at Kurt. He was lying on his back, the bed sheets pushed away so I could see his slim, toned chest and that line of light, downy hair on his stomach that led to his groin. His skin was rosy, and his breathing was short and quick, and... oh sweet Lord, his erection was tenting the bed sheets. But, even though he was writhing and whimpering, he was still fast asleep.
I sat up so I could watch him properly. One of his hands was holding the bars of the headboard, and the other was very slowly moving down his chest as he let out high little whimpers. His hand pushed the bed sheets away even more until I could see his thick, beautiful cock. One of the most pleasantly surprising things about Kurt was that he was actually very well endowed, bigger than me in fact. Kurt liked to be on the bottom, so I hadn't been taken by him yet, but I thought about it almost every time I touched myself and I was certainly thinking about it now. His hand moved lower and he let out a deep moan as he very slowly started stroking himself.
"Mmmm... ohhh... ahh... ohh, Blaine..."
Oh my God. Not only was Kurt having a sex dream right next to me, but he was having a sex dream about me. It felt like my brain was short-circuiting so all I could do was watch as the blood in my body seemed to rush straight to my cock. He was stroking himself so slowly, squeezing the head of his leaking cock and thrusting into his fist as he kicked away the rest of the bed sheets. I knew he had no idea what he was doing to me. He wasn't even awake, for goodness sake, and he'd told me once that he hardly ever remembered any of his dreams. But it was the grandest display of Kurt's unintentional sexiness I had ever seen and, once my brain started working again, I just couldn't take it anymore.
I moved the sheets away completely and knelt between his parted legs. He was still moaning my name as I bent my head down and slowly licked the salty pre-come from his glistening cock.
I looked up, my lips around the head of his cock, and saw Kurt staring wide-eyed down at me. I raised an eyebrow at him, before shutting my eyes, moving his hand away and taking as much of his gorgeous length in my mouth as I could. I bobbed my head up and down, relaxing my throat so I wouldn't gag, and hummed around him, causing him to make some of the sexiest noises ever, noises that would put a porn star to shame.
"Oh God... oh, Blaine... ahhhh... ohh, that's so... so good... ahh... oohh – w-why are you stopping?"
I took his cock out of my mouth and made my way up his body, straddling him, and kissing him hard instead of answering.
"You're so hot, Kurt," I whispered as I kissed my way down his jaw and his beautiful neck. "You are so fucking sexy..."
He giggled underneath me in a dismissive way, and I raised my head to look at him, right into his eyes.
"Kurt Hummel, you are the sexiest man I have ever seen," I said seriously. "Watching you touch yourself in your sleep just now was so fucking hot I could've come on command. I don't care if you don't think you're sexy, because I'm going to keep on telling you until you believe me. Now enough talking, I need your cock in my ass right now before I actually go insane."
He looked kind of speechless, but smirked up at me. For once I couldn't tell whether he was aware of how sexy he looked or not. But I was past caring. I grabbed the half empty bottle of lube from the bedside table and squirted loads of it into my hand, slicking up his cock with most of it and using the excess to push two fingers up my asshole and stretch myself out. Maybe another time we'd take our time and I'd let Kurt prepare me, but I was just too damn horny for romance and gentleness right now.
I positioned myself over Kurt, his hands holding onto my hips, and I very slowly impaled myself on his cock. Oh fuck, he really was enormous and even with all the lube it hurt like hell, but I was just so desperate to come that I didn't care about the pain. Actually, if I was being really honest, the pain actually felt kind of... good. I felt so full once he was finally all the way inside me, and once I'd adjusted to the intrusion we started to move, slowly at first but steadily faster.
I rode him hard and fast as he held onto my hips so tightly that I was sure it would leave bruises, the both of us moaning and crying out louder and louder. Very abruptly he flipped us over with a surprising amount of strength, hooking one of my legs over his shoulder and kissing me roughly. The bed was creaking under us, the headboard hitting the wall with such force that my bedside cabinets were shaking too. Kurt was pounding into me so hard, harder than I ever thought he would. He didn't seem to care if he might be hurting me and, to be honest, I didn't care either. Usually he was kind of passive whenever we had sex, but now it really felt like he was in charge and it was so fucking hot.
He was letting out these deep growls, so sexy and manly, and those sounds alone probably would have made me come even if he wasn't fucking me senseless at the same time. His hand was around my cock, stroking me fast as he fucked me harder and harder, his lips and teeth were latched onto my neck, sucking and biting in a way that would definitely leave a sizeable love bite. Finally something snapped, the tidal wave crashed over me and I was erupting all over the both of us, crying out so loud that I wouldn't have been surprised if I'd woken up the neighbours. Kurt came right after to me, thrusting erratically into me, his scream muffled by the fact that he was still sucking on my neck.
We collapsed beside each other, messy and sweaty. My whole body was aching and I couldn't even breath, but I'd never felt happier. That had to be the best sex we'd ever had.
"God, I love you so much, Kurt..."
Kurt chuckled breathlessly, wrapping his arm around me and kissing me on the cheek.
"I love you too, honey," he said, sounding jarringly cute considering what had just happened.
We lay in silence for a while, too exhausted to clean ourselves up or cover ourselves with the discarded bed sheets. I probably wouldn't be able to sit down without wincing for a few days, but I couldn't have cared less. I was just about to fall back to sleep when Kurt whispered "Do you really think that I'm sexy?"
I looked at him in surprise and turned my whole body towards him, gathering him up in my arms.
"That fact that you have no idea how truly sexy you are just seems to make you even sexier."
I knew he didn't believe me, but I suppose you can't win them all. If he was aware of how sexy he was then his sexiness wouldn't be unintentional. And then it wouldn't have been nearly as frustratingly fantastic.
Hope you enjoyed the filth, Humble Readers.

The Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show is arguably the most overwhelming technology spectacle of the whole year. Companies from all walks of life show off their latest and greatest products for the world to salivate over. Trying to keep up with the sheer magnitude of announcements will make your head spin.
This year was particularly a big one for 3-D printing, which had its biggest showing yet, with 28 exhibitors in all. While there were certainly some interesting start-ups showcasing their newest products, the real spectacle was how 3D Systems (NYSE:DDD) dominated Stratasys' (NASDAQ:SSYS) MakerBot in the consumer and "prosumer" 3-D printing space, with an arsenal of new and affordable compelling offerings.
In total, 3D Systems announced more than a dozen new products and partnerships, allowing it to really beat out MakerBot in terms of price, functionality, and professional features. In the following presentation, 3-D printing analyst Steve Heller explains exactly how it all went down.
Fool contributor Steve Heller owns shares of 3D Systems. The Motley Fool recommends and owns shares of 3D Systems and Stratasys and also has options on 3D Systems.

WILMINGTON, Del. - September 30, 2013 --A 30-year-old Delaware County man is facing a long list of charges, including attempted theft of an officer's Taser, in Wilmington, Delaware.
Authorities say William O'Donnell of Boothwyn was carrying drugs when he led police on a chase Saturday.
Officers finally caught up with him, then took him to the hospital for treatment of a pre-existing condition following his arrest.
That's when police say he tried to steal an officer's Taser.
Detectives add that O'Donnell also tried to bribe officers to drop the charges and even threatened to kill them and their families.

Work that works
Making great work is hard. Really, really hard. For a start, there's an entire world of stuff to distract your customers from your precious advertising. Then there's an entire internet full of other customers, just waiting to rant about your company. Then, of course, there's the fact that most advertising is mindless pap. We like to think we make ads that aren't mindless pap. We hope you agree… Check out some case studies below.

Winter Fades Away at last
The snow in the woods has all but disappeared. Sugar makers do not report a good season. The water in the Schroon River is higher than at any time since the last of March, 1903. The roads are flooded in several places on both sides of the river between Warrensburgh and Horicon. The logs which were left back by the drive last season owing to the exceedingly low water, as well as those piled on the banks during the winter, have been taken off and carried down stream by the flood. The Hudson River is also at freshet pitch, but there is no fear of damage. The river waters present a grand spectacle and after last year's vicious drought, its raging beauty is a beautiful sight to behold.
Town leader who built sidewalks dies at 66
Louis Weinman, 66, a resident of Warrensburgh for the past 29 years, died April 20, 1909 at a hospital in Burlington, Vt. He had been in poor health for eight months and death came suddenly caused by angina pectoris.
Weinman was born June 22, 1843 in Allenmuhl, Germany. He moved to Claremont, New Hampshire in 1868 and engaged in a mercantile business. In 1880 he came to Warrensburgh and with Hon. Louis W. Emerson as a partner established the Empire Shirt Company.
Louis Weinman was a staunch Democrat, and in 1897 he was elected supervisor of Warrensburgh. He held that office for ten years, serving as chairman of the board in 1903. He is responsible for the slate and cement sidewalks which he had laid in all parts of the village. Never did he overlook the interests of any citizen, Democrat or Republican, whom he represented. He was the soul of honor, a man of strict probity, giving to everyone his due and at times a little more.
Weinman was married in 1871 at Claremont, NH to Emma C. Johnson of that place. She survives with their two children, Mrs. Hart (Theresa) Joseph and Bertha Weinman, all of Warrensburgh. The funeral was held from the Hart Joseph house on Elm Street and three fully loaded carriages of flowers and a large concourse of townspeople followed the hearse to the Warrensburgh Cemetery. (The Hart Joseph mansion was at 48 Elm St., a house Louis Weinman had built in 1901 for his daughter, Theresa Joseph. It burned in 1931 when it belonged to Frank Smith and Jack Toney's 1955 single-story ranch house stands there today.)
Fowler's Store celebrates 40 Years
The B.B. Fowler department store on Glen St. in Glens Falls, one of the biggest mercantile establishments in this section of New York, is celebrating its 40th anniversary. The store began its life humbly in 1869, conducting a modest business in a small place, rapidly growing as the result of honest methods and hard labor to its present status and occupancy of the biggest single store block in Glens Falls.
Woman's long sleeve, ankle length, lightweight union suits are on sale this week at Fowler's for 50 cents.
(Note...B.B. Fowler is buried on Main St., Chestertown, next to the former town hall. The old Fowler building at 190 Glen St. is now Aimie's Dinner & Movie.)
Aged residents die
Chloe Olmsted, 93, undoubtedly the oldest person in this locality, died April 15, 1909 at the home of her son, Nathan Wilcox with whom she lived in North Caldwell. She was born in 1816 in Luzerne. She married Simeon Wilcox and they had two sons and a daughter. Ten years after he died 46 years ago, she married William Olmsted who died four years ago. She lived in North Caldwell for 65 or 70 years. Burial was in the Caldwell Cemetery, Lake George.
Cornelia Maxim, 84, died of heart trouble on April 24, 1909 at her home on Main St., Warrensburgh. She was the daughter of the late David and Betsey Lucas Morehouse, among the early settlers of the town. She was the widow of Samuel Maxim, a soldier of the Civil War who died Feb. 16, 1865 in a Rebel prison at Salisbury, North Carolina.
Maxim is survived by a son, John H. Maxim, a daughter, Emma Tripp, seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

In other words, the United States is a very well-defended country; our security is as assured as anyone's might be in this world. We face threats but we can handle them.
For most of the last 12 years, we have been told by our government that our country was in grave danger and that we were vulnerable to terrorist attacks. Occasional events like the "shoe bomber", the "underwear bomber" and the "pressure cooker bombers" reinforced our fears.**
Last night, we heard a more realistic and more objective President.
President Obama's more realistic evaluation of the threat we face is a sign that we are moving to a new stage in our response to 9/11.
There was a time that the memory of September 11 was terrorizing, evoking the fears of that day, the threat we faced. This day is a now for memory, for sadness, for grief. As it should be.
** (As an aside, if a couple hundred cruise missiles are a "pinprick", what should we call a guy with some plastic explosive in his underwear?)

Thank you so much Chicago for the warm welcome!
Even though our time in Chicago was short, I enjoyed every minute of it! I especially love the grand and stunning architectural design of The Art Institute.
Here are a few outfit pictures that Mystery Man took on our last day in Chicago =)
And now the big news… please share my joy as we congratulate the tremendously talented Mystery Man! We're looking at the new Creative Director of StyleHaul! The reason why Mystery Man and I moved back to California was for job opportunities. Completely self-taught, I've always known that Mystery Man is extremely talented, and it's just wonderful that a company recognizes it too. After our "25 Ways to Wear a Scarf" and "What's in My Bag" video, StyleHaul contacted us and invited us to join their family. Now, being in Los Angeles, I can refocus my energy to my love for acting, the YouTube channel, this blog, and last but not least, my search for a non-profit organization that works with incarcerated youths that I can join in LA. In the last couple of days, we've been apartment hunting, moving, and unpacking. It's somewhat stressful, but nevertheless exciting and rejuvenating!
Please be with me as we raise a congratulatory toast to Mystery Man, and as always, thank you so much for reading!

I wake up, check my phone – I have a text message (insert smile on my face – thinking it's from someone back home). Insert very annoyed face directly after. It's an message from Jetkonnect, of which I have a flight to Delhi from Jaipur booked with for July 31st. It's cancelled so they've put me on another two flights – Jaipur to Mumbai and then Mumbai to Delhi. That's fine except I'll be 4 hours late for my connecting flight with Air India….
I had got up at eight to be able to finish packing, since I was off to the airport on this day to head to Jaipur from Dharmsala. I was finished my first bout of volunteering and looking forward to moving on and enjoying some 'me' time, away from some people…. Instead I get to call airlines to try to sort life out.
I have decided I hate Jetkonnect. Everyone who works for them is an idiot. First off they barely speak English which when you choose 'English' as an option – you should get someone who speaks English!!!! Secondly I had two different individuals tell me that I could book a connecting flight with them to Varanasi – I would have 30 minutes between and would have to pick up my luggage and re-check-in. Sounds pretty reasonable eh? Blooooody hell!!!
Then it took a ridiculous amount of time for them to comprehend that I just wanted my money back. That's all. I wanted to cancel the flight because they screwed up. Finally it happened. After that I had to call Air India to cancel my connecting flight. They were mildly more intelligent and it was sussed fairly easily.
By now it's quarter to ten and I have a taxi picking me up to take me to Dharmsala at ten. It's a one and a half hour to two hour drive there and my flight's at one o'clock. I run downstairs, quickly throw everything that's left into my bag, while trying to eat my breakfast that the cook had left for me and be quiet, as one of my roommates was still sleeping. Insert annoyed face – looking at her asleep while I'm running around like a chicken with her head chopped off.
I haul my bags downstairs, out the front of the house and sit, thinking the cab will show up any minute…
10.15 – I call Amit – he says he'll call the cab and call me back.
10.25 – Amit calls back – taxi will be there in 5 or 10 minutes.
10.45 – Amit calls – I tell him the taxi still hasn't arrived.
10.50 – Taxi races around the corner.
The entire taxi ride I'm stressing about everything. The fact that I might be late for this flight has me going and the fact that I don't have any flights to Varanasi now. Finger nails that are long and nicely painted start to be gnawed away.
This taxi driver drives like a complete maniac – which is what you need when you're in a hurry and in India. We somehow arrive at the airport at twelve. I have no idea how he got me there that fast – but I wasn't asking questions, I was grabbing my stuff and heading into the airport!
I get in, there's no check-in happening, there's no nothing happening really, just a few people sitting and waiting… About fifteen minutes later a couple Kingfisher workers turn up. They have come to tell us the flight at one is cancelled, but we're rescheduled on the four-forty-five flight. Fine. I ask if I'll get moved onto the later connecting flight to Jaipur that I know exists and she says yes sure, no problem. No problem…. I call the hotel that's supposed to be picking me up to change the pickup time. They are lovely. No problem… but she comes back a half hour later to tell me that the later connecting flight to Jaipur has been cancelled. So no connection.
At this point I start to stress. I try calling cleartrip.com since the wireless at the airport will not work so I can't go online. (Sidenote: Kingfisher doesn't give a shit about trying to help anyone sort anything.) I get them on the phone, he finds me a flight leaving the next morning with Spicejet – I say I'll take it, figuring I'll stay at a hotel near the airport for the night – then he can't sell it to me because he can only use Indian credit cards over the phone…. fail.
I'm starting to feel really defeated. I then figure I can call Spicejet directly and maybe they can sell it to me! So I call, they put the whole thing through – bonus it's cheaper directly through them – and I go to pay. My visa declines – twice and I lose the whole thing…. Now is when I start crying. I'm stuck at an airport in India with no way to get online, no way to book my next flight and hotels and things waiting for me.
I call Visa – in tears. I explain to the guy what is happening. He says the transactions haven't even hit my card. There's plenty of credit available. He doesn't know what the problem is. He tells me to ask them to do it manually next time – I say I already asked them to and they said they're not allowed. He snorts and goes 'Reaaallly?!' Yes I reply crying harder with snot and mascara now running down my face. He tries to reassure me that my card is fine and that everything will work out. He says to get the airline to call him back to have a three way call and he can give them an authorization number. I say okay and hang up…
I feebly call Spicejet back, I go through all my information again – K for kilo, A for apple, T for tiger, I for India, E for elephant. The transaction goes through! I don't know why or how, but relief floods my body. One crisis solved.
At this point it's like three or so, I walk up to the Kingfisher counter to get my refund for the connecting flight I'm going to miss. I overhear one of the workers talking to another customer about how the four-forty-five flight will probably be cancelled because of the terrible weather. I swirl my head around to look outside. It's sunny and there's a light haze. I walk over to the conversation and blurt 'You've got to be kidding me!' He continues to go on about the weather and I tell him that if this weather stopped planes, never would a flight ever take off from Vancouver! A few other people start to crowd around. I'm SUPER annoyed by now. They try to reassure everyone that they'll put us onto the next day's flights.
Righto. There are loads of people missing all sorts of international connections because of this. I pipe up that they'll just do the same thing again tomorrow and that this is crap and I want all my money back and for them to call a cab to take me to Delhi. Nearly everyone jumps on board. Everyone is demanding refunds and wants cabs. I get a few glares from Kingfisher staff – of which I return with an even more evil glare. What a horrifyingly awful company!
So somehow I manage to talk to this lovely Indian man who wants to get a cab aswell. He knows a local driver and gets on calling him. Meanwhile a confused Korean man – who has obviously seen my display of rudeness comes over for clarification of what's going on since his English isn't very good. I fill him in and he jumps in on our cab too.
Twelve hours later – four am – I arrive at the domestic terminal in Delhi. My flight is at seven-fifteen. I get a Costas latte and croissant and relax – I made it through the day of hell.

Japan is about to take the plunge into an independent Mideast diplomacy with the Oct. 12 visit to Tokyo by Palestine Liberation Organization chief Yasser Arafat.
Arafat has been invited for a four-day stay by a parliamentary group representing several parties, not the government. But in every other respect, it is an official visit. He will meet Prime Minister Zenko Suzuki, Foreign Minister Sunao Sonoda, and opposition party, business, and labor leaders.
Sources admit that apart from the Communist bloc virtually no country has given Arafat the sort of treatment he will receive in Tokyo.
The Japanese have not gone along with all PLO requests. They refused to issue a communique at the end of the visit and the government also rejected a PLO request for diplomatic privileges for its Tokyo office.m

Business Intelligence
Big Data
Cloud Enablement
Implementing and managing on-premise Business Intelligence and Big Data solutions is not new but comes with many challenges. These types of solutions demand: high infrastructure requirements, handle unpredictable load volumes, involve a large upfront investment, high development and maintenance costs, longer provision times, and a high reliance on IT.
The Cloud addresses many of the challenges encountered by traditional on-premise solutions. The Cloud is quickly developing strong solutions for Business Intelligence and Big Data and offers several advantages such as:
There are few options available for deploying Business Intelligence and Big Data solutions in the cloud.
To determine which is better for hosting your data assets, you need to understand some key differences. PaaS is typically used by application developers, while IaaS is used by network or infrastructure architects. In other words, PaaS provides a mechanism to develop applications, whereas IaaS provides only the infrastructure necessary to run the code developed by application developers. Another aspect to consider is administration. PaaS performs many of the administrative tasks (e.g. backups, patches, etc.) for you, while these are things you'll have to manage with IaaS.

Dan Koehler '12 named Fulbright-National Geographic Fellow
The media arts & entertainment Elon graduate is one of five awardees selected for the fellowship made possible through a partnership between the U.S. Department of State and the National Geographic Society.
Elon alumnus Dan Koehler '12 has been selected as part of the inaugural class of Fulbright-National Geographic Digital Storytelling Fellows.
The National Geographic Society and the U.S. Department of State announced the five winners July 9. The five fellows will undertake an in-depth examination of a globally relevant issue, comparing and contrasting how that issue is experienced across borders.
Koehler, a filmmaker based in New York, will create a documentary film that tells the story of the San living near the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. Historically members of a hunter-gatherer society, the San were relocated from their ancestral homeland to designated settlements, which spurred severe socio-cultural change. His film will examine the larger issues of the situation with particular emphasis on San identity and membership in a modern state, promoting healthy dialogue about threatened cultures.
Koehler works with two-time Academy Award nominated documentary filmmaker Marshall Curry. He recently collaborated with Curry on "Point and Shoot," a documentary that follows a Baltimore man who goes on a motorcycle trip through Northern Africa and the Middle East; it won best documentary at this year's Tribeca Film Festival. In 2012 Koehler directed, edited and shot "Win or Lose," a short documentary by Elon University School of Communications that was screened at different film festivals last year, including the Seattle International Film Festival. As an undergraduate student, Koehler was a member of elondocs, Elon's documentary production program.
The Fulbright-National Geographic Digital Storytelling Fellowship was launched in 2013 as a new component of the Fulbright U.S. Student Program. It provides opportunities for U.S. citizens to participate in an academic year of overseas travel and digital storytelling in up to three countries on a globally significant theme. This Fellowship is made possible through a partnership between the U.S. Department of State and the National Geographic Society.

Living In Hostile Territory
Once you give your life to Christ the spiritual attacks increase, and no wonder: You're living in hostile territory—a world dominated by Satan. So it should come as no surprise that trials and tribulation dog the believer's path and appear greater and more frequent now than ever. You're on enemy-held ground if you name the name of Jesus.
There's a target on your back, and Satan has lined you up in his gun sight. Whether or not you are aware of it, you are involved is spiritual warfare for control of your life and God-appointed destiny. No matter what pain you may feel, whatever bondage you may find yourself under, the call to deliverance and healing in this book offers immediate release and the power to march on from victory to victory.

Hear Unknown Mortal Orchestra's Post-Rock Cover of Lindstrom's 'Ra-ako-st'
Psych warriors reinvent Norwegian electronica with aplomb
Unknown Mortal Orchestra's just-out sophomore album II has delivered plenty of gems on their behalf: There's the "Swim and Sleep" video where puppets masturbate, the "So Good at Being in Trouble" clip featuring McLovin battling a cult, that rock-solid Late Night With Jimmy Fallon drop-in, and that excellent interview where main man Ruban Nielson talked to SPIN about "nerding out." But despite all of that, the band has yet another gift to bestow: a cover of "Rà-àkõ-st" by Norwegian producer Lindstrøm, originally heard on Smalhans, one of our 50 Best Albums of 2012. As Stereogum points out, the nu-disco technician paid the favor forward by remixing "Swim and Sleep" earlier this month. For their part, UMO turn the original track into a rhythm-driven psych-rock jam — something that'd fit just fine in the Jaga Jazzist and Tortoise oeuvres. Get into it:
