An Opinion issued by the Advocate General to the Court of Justice of the EU ("CJEU") has put the future of the EU-US "Safe Harbor" arrangements in doubt. This has significant implications for EU companies which transfer personal data to the US and they should be considering taking steps to protect their position now in light of this uncertainty.
Under current EU data protection law, there is a general prohibition on transferring personal data to a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA) unless that country ensures an "adequate level of protection" for the personal data.
The European Commission has certified that a number of non-EEA countries do provide "adequate protection". In relation to the US, it has developed Safe Harbor, an arrangement whereby US companies can themselves be certified as providing adequate protection. Provided a US company has a Safe Harbor certification, the transfer of personal data to it is permitted.
However, the Safe Harbor arrangements have been heavily criticised since Edward Snowden's revelations about US security agencies accessing personal data on a mass scale. The European Commission has been engaged in a lengthy negotiation with US authorities about how Safe Harbor operates with a view to improving the protection it gives EU citizens. Whilst the EU Parliament has called for the suspension of Safe Harbor, the Commission's position has been to keep it in place pending the outcome of the current negotiations.
Current case
The current case arose when an Austrian individual challenged Facebook's transfer of his personal data from its Irish subsidiary to its servers in the US. He argued that the Irish data protection authority ("DPA") should have prevented the transfer on the basis that the US no longer ensures an adequate level of protection in light of Mr Snowden's revelations.
The dispute has now found its way to the CJEU. Prior to the Court's judgment being issued, the Advocate General has issued his non-binding Opinion.
He decided that the current Safe Harbor arrangements are incompatible with the fundamental principles of EU law protecting personal data and are therefore invalid. In broad terms, this was because:
- The mass surveillance and interception operations revealed by Mr Snowden constituted a clear interference with the privacy rights of individuals;
- Such interference could not be justified on the grounds of national security. By collecting personal data in bulk and without requiring suspicion that an individual was a threat to national security, the data collection could not be considered proportionate or necessary;
- The Safe Harbor arrangements did not provide adequate safeguards against interference by US law enforcement or security agencies. The current arrangements have a general exception for national security issues, the use of which cannot be effectively monitored; and
- EU citizens do not have rights in the US to challenge the gathering of their data by security agencies, and therefore their rights cannot be protected.
Final decision
The AG's Opinion is not binding on the CJEU which will make the final determination as to the status of Safe Harbor. The Court will usually (but not always) follow the AG's Opinion.
Current cross-border transfers
Given the uncertain status of the Safe Harbor arrangements, it may be preferable for EU businesses transferring personal data to the US to use an alternative means of ensuring "adequacy" (e.g. by using the Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses).
Where Safe Harbor is used and relied upon, businesses should consider putting in place contractual provisions permitting them to replace Safe Harbor as a transfer mechanism should it be deemed invalid, or be suspended or terminated.

Use UltraShape to Reduce Your Cellulite
If you are worried about the trauma that comes with some of the Anti-Cellulite Procedures , you may try UltraShape. Whether it is your cellulite – or the saddle bags or the love handles – this new noninvasive cellulite reduction method brings no pain toyour body.
A New Anti-Cellulite Procedure
UltraShape is the name of a very new anti-cellulite procedure, which employs ultrasound for removal of surplus fat as well as cellulite. This non-invasive method facilitates breaking up the enlarged fat cells with the ruptured fat finding a way out through the body's natural waste disposal route.
Even though the result obtained through this procedure is identical to the positive results obtained through other Anti-Cellulite Methods such as lipo suction, mesotherapy or lipo dissolve to get the excess fat out, UltraShape is a strictly noninvasive method without needing surgery or injections to get the job done. It can be effectively used for treatment of all cellulite-prone areas including thighs, abdomen, love handles (bulges of fats at the sides of waist) and saddle bags (fats around hips and thighs).
UltraShape is yet to receive FDA approval for anti-cellulite/fat reduction treatment – or even for body contouring – in the United States. The procedure, however, is already in use in Canada.
How Does UltraShape Work?
UltraShape, by itself a unique and painless procedure makes use of ultrasound waves to get rid of the extra accumulated fat, or the cellulite as the case may be. The ultrasound waves penetrate through the skin to dissolve the fat cells without in anyway damaging the adjoining areas of tissue. The fat so dissolved is gradually driven out of the system in the course of natural waste disposal processes.
The UltraShape procedure starts with an electrically operated, hand-held transducer device that converts electrical impulses into ultrasound energy. This energy, when applied on the cellulite affected area, penetrates the skin and the ultrasound waves start breaking up the enlarged fat cells in the subcutaneous layer under the surface of the skin.
The UltraShape procedure is totally regulated by a state-of-the-art tracking technology that facilitates extremely effective fat reduction outcome as well as a uniformly smooth contouring. The noninvasive nature of the method ensures that only the cellulite-affected fat cells are dealt with and there is no damage caused to the adjoining, healthy connective/fibrous tissue. One session of UltraShape treatment can take anything from one to two hours depending on the extent of cellulite-affected skin area.
Other Miscellaneous Features of UltraShape
- Risk and Side Effects. UltraShape is a painless anti-cellulite treatment method with no post-treatment risks or discomfort. Moreover, no known side effects have been reported so far.
- Restriction of Use. The treatment is not recommended for people with history of cardiac condition or serious kidney or liver problems, pregnant women, breast-feeding mothers, obese people, persons on coagulants or those having some kind of infection in the cellulite-affected areas.
- Cost Per Treatment. While the number of treatments required is largely dependent on the extent of the cellulite-affected region/area, the cost per treatment ranges from $900 to $1000.
In spite of the apparent advantages of this new anti-cellulite treatment procedure, it is always advisable to seek the opinion of the family doctor or an expert. A person taking the UltraShape treatment must also ensure that there is no laxity in maintaining a healthy routine of balanced diet and physical exercise.
Cellulite refers to fat deposits under the surface of the skin giving it a dimpled, irregular appearance. The vast majority of women have cellulite, some estimates are as high as 90 percent. Cellulite is routinely found in the thighs, hips, buttocks, and stomach. Unfortunately, maintaining an optimal body weight, eating healthy, staying active, and even regular exercise may not be enough to combat cellulite.
Below you'll find some of the most effective cellulite cream formulations on the market today, in our opinion.

THE muddy football game that concludes ''The Best of Times'' is such a rouser that it almost makes up for the incomplete passes and stopped runs that precede it. The last 20 minutes of the movie, which opens today at the Loews Paramount and other theaters, are full of energy, on field and in the stands. There are sloggy fumbles and splashy runs, pile-ups and mix-ups, hollers from the fans and mutters between players - one promises another ''death, humiliation and pain.'' And it's all rushing toward that big final pass. When it comes, it leaves you with the sort of sappy happy feeling that Frank Capra and Preston Sturges used to provide.
The game is the culmination of a campaign by Jack Dundee (Robin Williams), who dropped the ball in another important game a decade before, thereby ruining the chance for the little guys of Taft High to beat the big guys of Bakersfield. Jack has since become a bank vice president, by dint of marrying the president's daughter, but he counts himself a failure from the moment he missed that pass. ''I'm not a has-been,'' he laments. ''I'm a never-was. I aspire to be a has-been.''
The story is about Jack's campaign to build support for a rematch, particularly from Taft's 1972 star quarterback, Reno Hightower (Kurt Russell), a mechanic who likes to paint reproductions of van Gogh and Michelangelo on the sides of vans. ''Give God a little more definition,' a pal advises.
Ron Shelton, who wrote the script, could have given Reno a little more definition. At times, Mr. Russell seems to be fumbling for a character, which gives a shaky feeling to his scenes with Mr. Williams, on which the movie largely rests. Too often they seem like a star team waiting for the right play. The role of Jack is better developed, and Mr. Williams turns in an amiable performance as a hysteria-prone Harold Lloyd. He also has the best lines. Confronted by a couple of mice in a motel room, he warns them: ''You got an hour to clear out. Don't be here when I get back.''
But he, too, is constrained by the plot. Mr. Shelton should be penalized for holding. His script keeps getting in its own way, like some of the football players on screen. The wives of Jack and Reno, for example, are required to leave home for no solider reason than to be brought back after the big game. A long dinner scene of the four goes on and on, tormenting a weak joke about wives' attitudes toward Monday night football.
Roger Spottiswoode, the director, shows what he can do when the out-of-shape ex-football players begin to train, and the movie starts rolling toward that climactic game. He has dependable talent to work with - Donald Moffat as Jack's father-in-law and chief Bakersfield booster, M. Emmet Walsh as a leader of the local lodge of Caribou, assorted town characters and especially Pamela Reed, who gets more out of the part of Reno's wife than is there.Continue reading the main story

Grandfather, is the next story of the Gods, the one for Mabon, is it sad?" asked the little girl as she looked up with tears in her eyes. "I don't know if we can take another sad story"
The Grandfather paused for a moment and looked down at her upturned face and said, "The next two stories are sadder then the last. But they only make you sad because you have forgotten how it all ends and begins at Yule."
"You mean the rebirth of the Sun King and the Goddess becoming young again?"
"Yes children that is exactly what I mean. For you see there must be sadness if there is to be happiness or we wouldn't appreciate it. There must be winter for every summer so that everything can have a chance to rest.
"And that is what this Sabbat is about. It is the finishing of the work to prepare for the winter. The harvest of the fruit and vine and the storing of supplies and repairing of tools and such.
"But it is also the time that the Goddess leaves us on her annual journey to the Underworld in search of her lost love, the Sun King. For with his death, the magick that they had laid in the Spring had began to fade and Winter was coming fast. And this was a fitting time for her to leave because the fruit that is harvested is like her. They are the womb that holds the seed with a promise of new life. And she is the same.
"So She went to the shore and lit a bonfire of the sacred woods and began to chant and to dance. Longer and faster did She dance. Around and around she spun and finally Her spirit lifted from Her body and began its long journey down into the Underworld.
"I will not speak of all the scary things that she faced. From Giants and Ogres to Dragons and other Wyrms all seeked to block her way. But none were strong enough to block her path. For she came in love everlasting and of course, having been this way before, she knew the ways to avoid most dangers.
"But finally She came to a pool glowing with Golden Light and the scent of roses filled the air around Her. She had finally found her lost love. But he slept with the sleep of Death on the edge of the pool.
"With Her voice raised in song, she began to wash the body of the fallen Sun King. She sang of power and love. Of racing across the green grass in spring and the warmth of the Sun in late summer. The smell of all the flowers in bloom and the feel of swimming in cool water on a hot summer day. All the things that the Sun King could bring back to the Earth if he only lived.
"Finally after what seemed an eternity the Sun King awoke and looked at Her and smiled. 'My Goddess,' he said, 'I have not the strength to return in this body. I will not survive the journey back into the land of the living. But I will dissolve my body and go into you as a spark of life that you can foster and grow until the time is right and ordained.'
And with a last breath He did just that. With a burst of light his body turned into energy and infused the Goddess, further aging her but giving her the strength to make the new Sun within her.
"And so with this She began her journey back to the land of living. Now see children there is always hope even in the darkest of times. The Sun has begun his journey back to join us in the land of the living. And the Goddess while apart from us is soon to return."
With this the children smiled, for the story wasn't as sad as they had expected it to be. And it let them know that all was going to be OK.
Just an FYI this site will be going down for maintenance in the next couple of hours. Should be up by tomorrow. I apologize for any incovenience.

By Hozefa Kutiyanawala
Crownit. These two words are now fairly common for me as you may find me in a peculiar situation, taking a picture of my restaurant bill with my cell phone at the end of every meal.
This strange little act is not to document one of my actuals but instead to earn a discount in the form of cash back on my recently completed excavation of the wallet. In an age where eating out is burdened by a multitude of taxes, gratuities and service charges, and genuine discounts are rare to find, there comes a savior who helps us beat the system (George Orwell much?).
Why use it?
Crownit is a robust and fun mobile application which helps you earn a percentage of your bill amount in the form of cash back. The cash back is accrued in the app's wallet in the form of points aptly titled crowns where one crown is equivalent to one rupee.
The process is simple, check into the restaurant or bar through the app. The app takes barely a few seconds to detect your location and verify that you are actually at the said restaurant or bar. Then spin a wheel (like a mini wheel of fortune) which decides how much cash back you earn. The cash back percentage ranges from 2% to 25% depending on the outlet you are at. Finally, upload the bill and Voila! You are few rupees richer or less poor depending on whether you are a glass half full or half empty type of person. The app even allows you to share your earned crowns with your friends or date who may be present with you at that moment. Because true love is built on shared monies isn't it?
The last stage is just uploading the bill image to the app which verifies if your bill is legit showing the date, time, address of the outlet, total amount, whether any discounts are availed on it and it is legible (not hazy or incomplete). This generally takes less than ten minutes and then you hear the sound of a cash register which is the sweetest sound you will ever hear as you just earned 100 rupees cash back on a total bill amount of a 1000. Sweet deal right !
What next?
So what do you do with the crowns you earned ? The same thing any king or queen has done with their crown money ! Spend it ! There are multiple ways you can redeem your crowns. It's all online through the app. You may either recharge your prepaid mobile number, redeem movie cinema vouchers of Book My Show or PVR or even avail food and spa outlets' discount coupons. But one of my favorite redemption options is redeeming a discount voucher of either Amazon or Flipkart because who doesn't like free shopping.
What all do you get?
Sounds fun and crazy right. Well, the app gives you much more. In order to attract more users the app has a referral system where you refer the app to friends and then get 100 crowns when they crown their first bill. Additionally, your said friend might choose to let you earn 10 percent of what they earn every time they crown a bill in the future. This amount is given to you by the app.
Lucky with Lotteries!
The generosity doesn't end there. In order to keep their users engaged you earn lottery tickets every time you crown a bill. Every Friday afternoon check if your tickets have earned you anything ranging from 100 crowns (which is equivalent to 100 rupees) to a Book My Show or Amazon voucher worth 500 rupees to the grand prize being an iPhone 6. This fun lottery is called The Weekly Rush and the app even has a plug IN to let you see what your friends have won that week. It connects with your friends effortlessly and brilliantly. You can see their activity on the app as well, that is if they have their privacy option off.
More Options
Now the app even allows you to earn cash back on purchase of spa packages, medical checkup or tests, gym memberships or even food or shopping discount vouchers. With a multitude of options, an easy to use and fun interface backed by a robust back end and a customer care team, it's no wonder that this app has more than tripled it's number of users in recent weeks. Also, the fact that nearly any and every eatery or restaurant around you will most probably be tied up with the app. What are you waiting for, Crown It and start earning right away.
You can get the app here for Android user and here for IOS users.
Hozefa is a friend who's also a big foodie and hence an avid user of Crownit. He has won a whole lot of goodies via this app. Take his word on this one.

There may be no natural method to relieve constipation instantly. However, exercising more, incorporating more fiber into the diet and drinking more water can help with constipation, states WebMD. Doing simple exercises like walking every day can help keep people regular.
Similarly, another way to relieve constipation is by drinking at least eight glasses of water daily and getting enough fiber from foods like bran, oatmeal, cereal, vegetables and fruits. A person should eat at least 14 grams of fiber per 1,000 calories each day, according to the Mayo Clinic.
When these methods fail to relieve constipation, then there are over-the-counter products people can use for constipation, such as rectal suppositories, fiber supplements, stool softeners and laxatives, states WebMD. However, products like suppositories and laxatives are only for short-term use.
Constipation is not being able to have at least three bowel movements per week. A symptom related with constipation is hard stool, explains MedlinePlus.

Associates in Dermatology began 2017 with four physicians being named as 2017 Top Docs in Dermatology. Dr. Jeffrey P. Callen, Dr. Cindy E. Owen, Dr. Courtney R. Schadt, and Dr. Carol L. Kulp-Shorten were nominated by their peers in The Greater Louisville Medical Society to this prestigious list of the-best-of-the-best.

Dr. Callen is not alone in his accolades or his contributions to the dermatology community. In 1981, after completing his fellowship training with Dr. Frederic Mohs in Wisconsin, Dr. Michael W. McCall, Sr., became the first physician in the region to offer Mohs Micrographic Surgery to patients afflicted with skin cancer. In 1989, he founded the University of Louisville Mohs Surgery Fellowship and trained fellows continuously until his retirement in 2013. Over the course of his career, Dr. McCall, Sr., performed over 30,000 surgeries, curing tens of thousands of patients suffering from skin cancer. Dr. Timothy Brown has assumed the lead as the Program Director for our fellowship in Micrographic Surgery and Dermatologic Oncology and was recently joined by Dr. Michael W. McCall, Jr.

where are we going?
the importance of vision
A message from Father Robert Buchmeier
In the early 1960s a group of families gathered in their homes on Euclid Drive in Garrett Park Estates to pray and support each other in raising children. The Holy Spirit was at work and a vision developed — to build a Catholic community of faith in Garrett Park. Out of a desire to have a home for this emerging community of families, the group petitioned the bishop to establish a parish. With a generous donation of land from the Sisters of the Holy Cross, our parish became a reality.
In my first year as pastor here I have had the pleasure to meet and worship with so many faith-filled people carrying out the vision established by the founding members. I have also consulted with the Holy Cross Parish Council, a body of committed parish members with varied perspectives, skills, and talents. Acting as stewards of the parish, the Council's ministry is to envision, plan, and implement policies and activities that assist the pastor in our core mission -- bringing people to Jesus!
"We are at our best when we…
Proactively welcome new people and existing parishioners
Give of ourselves
Have the church and school working together
Care for each other
Focus on kids
Are involved participants in a faith community
Give to others
Sing songs of praise to God
Come together to pray
Are working together
Respect our differences."
Last Spring the Parish Council met with more than twenty ministry leaders to pray and reflect on growing Holy Cross Parish as a welcoming church. We collectively developed a statement reflecting "when Holy Cross is at its best." At that meeting the group also shared their dreams for Holy Cross, and several themes emerged. The largest related to enhancing the Sunday Mass experience. After all, the Eucharist is the source and summit of our faith and the reason we come together as a community.
After the meeting the Parish Council developed a strategic vision with eight priority areas to guide activities in the coming year. We have already begun to work toward some of these goals, and some of the changes you may have noticed reflect this prayerful work.
We must prioritize meeting people where they are, being attractive to those who have been away from the church or are new to the church and encouraging full and active participation in the Liturgy through sacred music that reflects the diversity of our many cultures. The music director will endeavor to establish and maintain robust volunteer membership in a children's choir, a youth choir, and an adult choir.
Volunteers must warmly greet people as they enter the church. A volunteer will address the community before Mass to welcome people, encourage them to greet their neighbors, and convey anything notable that is to happen during or after Mass. The clergy and extraordinary eucharistic ministers will bless those who come forward but are not receiving communion.
Filling the Church
Our goal is to fill the church at each Mass with a vibrant, participating assembly and encourage a greater sense of unity and fellowship. Whether the number of weekend Masses is five or four, we want to fill the pews with joyful disciples of the Lord.
Youth Ministry
The Religious Education Office and Holy Cross School will work together with interested volunteers to devise a strategy to develop a Youth Ministry at Holy Cross.
A Hospitality Committee will be formed to foster community spirit.
Stronger Church and School Connection
The school and parish will coordinate communications so that school families might be attracted to the parish, and parish families attracted to the school. School families will be encouraged to participate in Sunday liturgies as greeters, Children's Liturgy leaders, lectors, etc., especially on the days of open houses and during Catholic Schools Week.
The Parish Council will approve bylaws to govern its composition and conduct, which will be posted to the Council's webpage. The names and, at the discretion of the individual, photos, of Parish Council members will be posted to the Council's webpage. The names, contact information, and photos of parish staff will be posted to the parish website.
Sisters of the Holy Cross
The parish will more deliberately and gratefully attend to its relationship with the Sisters of the Holy Cross, our neighbors and benefactors. The Sisters will be invited to a place of honor at all parish-wide events, and will be specially acknowledged at a Sunday Mass in their honor biannually.
I want to thank those of you who have been faithful parishioners at Holy Cross for many years. Many of you who have been active in this process, when working with one another to bring our shared vision, our dreams for our community, into reality, have felt the power of the Spirit. I am very grateful to each parishioner who has been involved in this work thus far and I am calling upon each of you to reflect on this vision statement and on your own gifts. What are you called to contribute? How will you help to shape our parish? As we move forward, there will be many opportunities to give of yourself, I hope that you will hear that call and respond with faith and generosity.

GLB Railroad promises false hopes and raises fears
By Paul Gorski
The Great Lakes Basin Railroad (GLBRR) is a rail line proposed by a private group that promises to relieve regional freight train congestion. This would be done by developing a new multi-state private rail line that bypasses Chicago and cuts across hundreds of acres of Illinois farmland, including some in western Winnebago County. Suffice to say, many of the landowners and villages in the path of the proposed rail line have serious doubts and concerns about sacrificing their property for a private, toll-based railroad. For good reason.
To those business professionals reading this, imagine someone asking you to partner with them: "I'd like to build this new product. I don't have any experience building this product, I don't have any customers signed up for the product, and my potential customers are already committed to using my competitor's product." You would say, "Sure, what do you need from me?" No, probably not. Nevertheless, that is what local leaders including Larry Morrissey, Scott Christiansen and Michael Dunn, Jr. agreed to in July of 2015. More on that later.
The sponsor of the GLBRR does not have much if any previous experience in rail transportation. Two of the six major railroads that might use the service have said they will not use it. The remaining four rail carriers have not supported the project. In addition, there is also at least one big project, the CREATE Program which is working to relieve rail congestion in northern Illinois. CREATE has the support and participation of the six major rail carriers in question.
Despite this, the Rockford Metropolitan Agency for Planning (RMAP) stated its support for the GLBRR in its 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan dated July 30, 2015. Among those leaders were: Rockford Mayor Larry Morrissey, County Board Chairman Scott Christiansen and RMAP Executive Director Michael Dunn Jr. The RMAP plan has big ideas for the sketchy GLBRR, hoping for rail connections to the Rockford airport.
The GLBRR project has been in the news recently because many local residents oppose the project because of its potential negative impact on the county. Fueling the fire, County Board Chairman candidates John Nelson and Frank Haney have come out on different sides of the debate. Nelson sides with the residents; Haney with the project. Well, sort of, depending on the day.
Haney has twisted and turned on his position regarding the GLBRR. First, he is for it, then he will wait until the environmental review, then he will take in under consideration, and now, apparently he might be against it. I cannot see how he can be against it. The GLBRR project has the support of his mentors: Larry Morrissey, Scott Christiansen and Michael Dunn Jr.
Haney is friends with, served on a college board with, and received campaign help from Dunn Jr. Dunn Jr. is also the son of Mike Dunn Sr., who heads the Rockford airport, which again, figures prominently in RMAP's plan for the GLBRR. Funny how things like that turnout in this county.
Haney has some of the same big contributors as Christiansen, and has many of the same friends, advisors and campaign contributors as Morrissey. When push comes to shove on a final county board action on the GLBRR, who do you think Haney will side with: residents of Winnebago County; or his friends, family and the big money that put him in office? Follow the money.
Nelson has been consistent, siding with the concerned residents. Most of these residents are raising land use and environmental concerns. I say focus on the basic premise of the plan and the people offering up the plan. Who will use the rail line? Why would the rail carriers support this project and the multi-billion dollar CREATE Program?
I cannot help but feel this project raises the same false hopes the failed proposed ethanol plant did, which was to some people simply a scam, a scam that blinded many with the false promise of jobs and economic development.
The proposed Great Lakes Basin Railroad raises legitimate fears and concerns. I encourage residents to continue asking their questions and demand more hearings on the project. Share this message with family, friends and neighbors. The local insiders supporting this plan will not stop or relent. You should not either.

Lady Gaga's 11 most suggestive 'Artpop' lyrics
The pop star may live for the applause, but she also loves to sing about sex.
So once you've accepted that you're on the right track, baby, and you're born this way, what's the next logical step? For Lady Gaga, it's singing about sex (and lots of it).
Her third studio album, Artpop, is streaming on iTunes Radio a week ahead of its official release, and if you've given it a listen, you know it's all about Gaga's love of applause, fashion and lust. Trading in the empowering themes of Born This Way for more titillating messages of taking charge in the bedroom, the pop star sings of sex positions, erotic dreams and some kinky Twitter action.
REVIEW: 'Artpop' bursts with disco energy
See for yourself with this smattering of suggestive Artpop lyrics:
"You ought to pity me 'cause there's always one man to love/ But in the bedroom the size of him's more than enough." (Aura)
"Do you wanna see me naked, lover?/ Do you wanna peek underneath the cover?" (Aura)
"I can't help the way I'm feeling/ Goddess of love, please take me to your leader." (Venus)
"Jupiter/Mercury, Venus – uh ha!/ Uranus/ Don't you know my a-- is famous?" (Venus)
"Touch me, touch me, don't be sweet/ Love me, love me, please retweet." (G.U.Y.)
"Heard that we both got nothing to do/ When I lay in bed, I touch myself and think of you." (Sexxx Dreams)
"You were in my sex dreams ... / Doing really nasty things." (Sexxx Dreams)
"Touch me in the dark/ Put your hands all over my body parts/ Throw me on the bed/ Squeeze, tease and please me, that's what I said!" (MANiCURE)
"You can't have my heart/ And you won't use my mind / But do what you want with my body/ Do what you want with my body." (Do What U Want)
"I know, I know, I know, I know you want me/ You're just a pig inside a human body." (Swine)
"Now take it in, and turn me on/ Zip me up, it can't be wrong." (Fashion!)

On November 22, 2004, a day when most people would be remembering Kennedy and where they were when they heard he had been killed, some gamers were looking through the scope of a Carcano 91/38 at the Texas School Book Depository. In an official press release, Traffic Games spokesman Kirk Ewing said that their game JFK: Reloaded (2004) had the potential to "disprove once and for all any notion that someone else was involved in the assassination of President Kennedy." To that end, game players were granted points based on how closely their shots recreated those of Lee Harvey Oswald as reported by the Warren commission. The game's official website touted the game as the "world's first interactive reconstruction" and offered a potential prize of up to $100,000 to the person whose shots most closely matched Oswald's. Of course, the profit motive for gamers made us painfully aware of the developer's own financial stake in the game's success.
The gameplay begins when the president's motorcade rounds the corner onto Elm Street heading past the book depository on the right and Dealey Plaza on the left. It ends when the motorcade reaches the overpass on the way to Stemmons Freeway or after about a minute. Players see this scene through the crosshairs of a scope from the vantage point of the sixth floor of the book depository window. While many were sickened by the idea of the game, it was enthusiastically received by some who told tales of shooting off Jackie's hat or blowing off the back of the president's head.
Today, JFK: Reloaded is infamous. It often appears on lists of the most controversial games of all time, only being beaten out by games like Muslim Massacre (2008), RapeLay (2006), Super Columbine Massacre RPG (2005), Postal 2 (2003), WTC Survivor (2002), and Ethnic Cleansing (2002). There was even a recent Reddit conversation on January 8, 2013, titled "Why did JFK: Reloaded create so much controversy? And do you agree with it?"
Academics have also weighed in on the game many times (Raessens, 2006; Bogost, 2007; Fullerton, 2008; Poremba, 2009; Bogost, Ferrari, & Schweizer, 2010; Sample, 2011). In an effort to put JFK: Reloaded and games like it into perspective, Raessens (2006), Fullerton (2008) and Bogost et al. (2010) each make a strong case for using the term documentary game while at the same time acknowledging the problems of using this terminology. Raessens (2006) accurately summarizes the situation when he says that such games "do not represent the historical reality objectively, but they are more than just subjective impressions of the artists involved" (p. 221). Much of the other research focuses on how gamers interact with the documentary content.
According to Bogost (2007), while the subject of a game may be "comparable to documentaries and news broadcasts" we cannot understand a game like JFK: Reloaded unless we also ask "how the player interacts with procedural rules to create patterns of historical and social meaning" (p. 128). For Bogost, the "procedural rhetoric" of JFK: Reloaded "helps the player depersonalize its consequences, further emphasizing the simulation of the psychopath-assassin." This allows for the revelation that the assassination can be more effectively carried out using a different strategy and gives way to a second revelation that "JFK Reloaded suggests that the assassin's role, unlike the military sniper's, is that of spectacle as much as accuracy" (pp. 133-134).
Poremba (2009) interrogates the way JFK: Reloaded confronts historical documents even more than the historical moment itself. She writes "the indexical value of the simulations in JFK: Reloaded is not the real life event at all, but the Warren Commission (and related) documents to which there is that strong indexical link exceeding analogy" (p. 8). Whether or not Oswald had the ability to complete the task has been often called into question along with the scope sighting and the timing and placement of the shots. The Warren Commission reenacted the assassination with trained marksmen, as did CBS and the Discovery channel. That the game only depicts this moment, attempts to use realistic physics, and awards points based on recreating the Warren Commission's findings lends credence to the developer's argument with regard to their intentions and Poremba's suggestion that we read the game differently.
Sample (2011), on the other hand, proposes that we should think of the game "not as a way to recreate history but as a way to re-imagine it." Reminiscent of Alan Moore's re-imagining of history in the Watchmen or Bradbury's story "A Sound of Thunder," Sample wonders "What if the extent of the trauma on November 22, 1963, was the flight of Jackie's pillbox hat?" The resulting ripple would imaginatively lead to an early end to the Vietnam War and no counter-cultural movement of the sixties. He ends by suggesting that we read the game "as an engine of counterfactual history" instead of a documentary.
As much as we know about Oswald, his motives were unclear to the Warren Commission and are still unclear today. In some ways this means that when we are sutured into the first person perspective behind the gun in JFK: Reloaded, we are forced to also bring our own motives. The question as presented by the research is really this: If you play the game on the 50th anniversary of Kennedy's death will you be thinking like a killer, a forensic investigator, or a time traveler? I suggest you watch the black limousine pass through the scope and resist the urge to pull the trigger. You don't even have to shoot the pretty pill box hat.

The estranged wife of former Dallas Cowboy and Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders spent several hours on the witness stand Thursday, testifying about threats, her children and damaging statements about her character.
Pilar Sanders and her attorneys also contradicted a lot of the testimony during the first two days of the custody trial from Deion Sanders and his family and friends.
Jurors will have to decide whom to believe as they rule on which parent should have the right to determine the primary residence of the couple's three children and set restrictions on where they can move.
The trial, which began Tuesday, is dealing only with the custody issues involved in the celebrity couple's contentious divorce.
Pilar Sanders testified that since the divorce filing, her estranged husband had threatened her, saying, "they would destroy me," referring to people who worked for him.
She expressed concern about his derogatory comments about her in the media, especially since her children can find the coverage online.
"I was very, very hurt because my children see their father completely demeaning and destroying my character," Pilar Sanders said through tears.
She testified that Deion Sanders uses his Twitter account with hundreds of thousands of followers to disparage her.
On Thursday, he was tweeting from the courtroom, at one point posting that his attorneys would cross-examine Pilar Sanders and "catch her in a multitude of lies."
She said he also used social media to accuse her of cheating on him during their marriage. Pilar Sanders testified that she has never cheated on him.
Prosper school administrators testified about unexcused absences, tardiness and behavioral problems of the couple's two boys. And while they testified that Deion Sanders is more difficult to reach, they said both parents have been supportive of the schools' responses to the problems.
Her attorneys wanted to question the attorney appointed to represent the children's interests about not being paid for his work by Deion Sanders. But Judge Ray Wheless ruled that testimony would not be heard by the jury.
Testimony in the case resumes Friday.

It took me a minute, but then once Doug explained it to me, I saw it. Men are smart. I made Mark trade this to me through sheer guilt alone. Perfect.
He's an artist. One of the few actual artists who have decided to support The Sauce at this point. And while I totaly appreciated his trade offer of a Crow Cannon, I made him throw in an actual piece of art too.

UPDATE 4:20 p.m.
The call to help a lovable pooch named Nugget has been answered.
Nugget is a 100-pound 'lap dog' that needs surgery on two ruptured cruciates, estimated to cost around $9,000, but one Okanagan veterinarian is willing to do the crucial surgery for $6,000.
Marco Veenis with the Okanagan Veterinary Hospital, said he would be happy to help the dog.
"At my hospital, we take a special interest in orthopedic cases and perform large numbers of these surgeries," said Veenis in an email to Castanet.
"As Okanagan veterinarians we have a long-standing positive relation with the SPCA and other animal-related charities and are always willing to do our bit."
Nugget is currently at the Vernon SPCA.
Nugget is a 100-pound lap dog who needs some help.
The large, loveable pooch came to the Vernon SPCA with two torn cruciate ligaments in her back legs.
The fawn-coloured mastiff mix sometimes wags her tail so hard, she injures herself and the damaged ligaments affect her ability to walk.
Without treatment, the injury will lead to arthritis in her joints.
"Nugget is such a sweet and goofy girl. Despite the pain, she's in, she just wants to love you and be loved. We now keep her tail bandaged, as she has hurt it a couple of times while in her kennel from wagging it so hard," said Chelsea Taylor, BC SPCA Vernon & District branch manager.
"She thinks she's a 100-pound lap dog. We just want her to have the chance to lead an active, healthy life. She's not even two yet, and still has a lot of love to give."
The medical costs associated with Nugget's surgery, care and recovery are expected to exceed $9,000. A non-profit organization, the BC SPCA relies primarily on public donations to help the province's most vulnerable animals.
Anyone wanting to help Nuggett can do so online, or in person at 800 Haney Rd.

Gas depletion here is the amount of natural gas used between 1965 and 2004. This is seen as depletion because gas is burned much more quickly than it is formed. There are limited natural gas reserves. During this 40 year period, the gas equivalent of almost 60 billion tonnes of oil was used up.
The territories that used the most gas over this period were the United States, the Russian Federation, the Ukraine and Canada. Almost all the natural gas that has been burnt as fuel was burnt during these forty years, and the years since. Until about 1965 natural gas from oilfields was often considered useless, so was disposed of by flaring. It has since been used extensively, as a fuel.
"No one likes talking about depletion; it is the crazy aunt in the attic, the emperor without clothes, the wolf at the door." Randy Udall, 2001
Territory size shows the proportion of all gas used between 1965 and 2004 that was used there.

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, left, and Bill Daly, deputy commissioner and chief legal officer, following collective bargaining talks in Toronto.
The Canadian Press Enlarge
NEW YORK — The NHL and the union are back at the bargaining table and seem determined to work toward a deal to save the hockey season
A full day of talks was planned for Tuesday, one day after negotiations resumed following nearly three weeks apart. On Monday, the players' association presented a counterproposal to an offer made by the league late last week. The NHL spent Monday night reviewing the document, then got together again with the union Tuesday.
Small groups from each side met and conferred by conference calls all afternoon about provisions of a potential collective bargaining agreement. A meeting was scheduled for late Tuesday evening.
What is clear is that time has become a real factor.
"We've said we need to drop the puck by Jan. 19 if we're going to play a 48-game season," Commissioner Gary Bettman said. "We don't think it makes sense to play a season any shorter than that."
That leaves a little less than two weeks to reach an agreement and hold one week of training camp before starting the season. All games through Jan. 14 have been canceled, claiming more than 50 percent of the original schedule.
The NHL is the only North American professional sports league to cancel a season because of a labor dispute, losing the 2004-05 campaign to a lockout. A 48-game season was played in 1995 after a lockout.
The NHL was supposed to be celebrating its annual outdoor Winter Classic between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday — the 108th day of the lockout — at Michigan Stadium. But that game was canceled long ago along with the All-Star game.
Monday's talks marked the first time the NHL and union met in person since Dec. 13. Bettman said a deal must be reached by Jan. 11 so the season can begin eight days later.
When the sides met Monday, the union brought a condensed counterproposal in response to the NHL's 288-page contract offer. There were some discussions between the negotiators and some time spent apart in internal meetings.
Neither side would elaborate on what was offered in either proposal or characterize any of Monday's discussions that union executive director Donald Fehr said "weren't terribly long."
"There was an opportunity for the players to highlight the areas they thought we should focus on based on their response, and that's something we've got to look at very closely in addition to the myriad of other issues," Bettman said. "The process continues, and we're anticipating getting back together."
That neither offer was quickly dismissed could be taken as a positive sign that the gap has narrowed.
"I'm out of the prediction business," Fehr said. "You get up every day, and you try to figure out how to make an agreement that day, and if it fails you try and do it the next day. That's exactly where we are."

text: In the Spotlight OF LOVE AND WARS. Kathakali Dance Theatre The theme of war is indebted, for the most part, to the epics. The Iliad, one of Homer's epics, is set against the background of a love story. The Indian equivalent, the Mahabharata, casts a light of its own on the theme of war by offering a message of love in the form of a poem, The Song Divine (Bhagawad Gita). De l'Amour et des Guerres (Of Love and Wars) is a version of this song, and is part of a series: "The World of Epics", presented by the Montreal-based dance company Danse Kalashas, in collaboration with the Mahapooram percussion ensemble. Percussionist and composer Bruno Paquet accompanies choreographer and dancer Richard Tremblay in this program of kathakali, a dance-theatre native to Kerala, India. Premiered at the Festival International du Masque du Québec, in May 2011, the program includes comments on the practice of percussion and dance, with visuals and excerpts from Gitopadesham, a kathakali work which the Indian master K Gopalakrishnan and Richard Tremblay have toured in Canada some thirty years ago. De l'Amour et des Guerres is a new remade of this landmark production. Kathakali dance-theatre performance. Accompaniment to the percussion, with elaborate costumes and make-up. Provided with surtitles and translations. General audience. Children above five are generally receptive to this type of presentation. Supervision from their tutors/parents is required.

Seligman bans synthetic drugs
The City of Seligman has passed an ordinance prohibiting the possession or sale of products containing synthetic cannabinoids and alternative drugs. The action was taken during the board's September meeting.
The ordinance bans products made of natural or synthetic materials, compounds, mixtures or substances that can act as a hallucinogen or psychedelic stimulant.
Aldermen also approved the purchase of a 2005 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor at a cost of $3,900. The agreement is contingent upon the sale of another vehicle.
In closed session, aldermen voted to terminate Marion Jacobson, police chief. The vote was split between aldermen Eric Freeman and Danny Hendrix, who approved the measure, and aldermen Gerald Harling and Kelly Payne, who were opposed. The tie was broken when Mayor Jason Raucstadt voted in favor of termination.
Gary Thornton, acting police chief, reported 24 traffic stops for August, resulting in 37 citations and one warning. Three arrests were made.
Aldermen set a public hearing for Oct. 8 regarding a liquor license application by White Oak Station.
In preparation for the hearing, aldermen approved an ordinance change increasing the number of liquor licenses for the city to five.
In other business, aldermen:
* Reiterated the need for a new chairperson and members for the planning and zoning board.
* Set Oct. 12 as the date for Fall Fest 2012. The event will be held at Elsie Corn Memorial Park.
* Voted to seek additional bids for the Village Blockade street project.
* Scheduled a stranger danger and women's self defense class for Saturday, Nov. 3.

To build a solar powered car, gather two solar cells, alligator clip leads, rubber bands and a small electric motor. Also gather a cardboard milk carton, plastic bottle caps, stiff wires and straws.
Use the cardboard milk carton for the chassis of the car and the plastic bottle caps for the wheels. Use a nail to make small holes in the center of the wheels, making sure that the wire, which serves as the axle, fits snugly into the holes. Take an extra cap and cut off the sides, leaving the top part. Glue this to one of the wheels, and then mount the axles to the milk carton by taping straws to the underside of the carton and threading the axles through them.
Attach the motor shaft and small motor pulley together, and then determine where to place the motor by connecting the pulleys with a rubber band as the drive belt. Position the motor so that the band stretches slightly, and mount the motor with tape or glue between a frame of wood. Use clear tape to bring the two solar cells side-by-side, and connect them in a circuit with the alligator clip leads. The positive terminal of one cell must connect to the negative terminal of the other. Connect the rest of the terminals to the motor.
If the motor spins the opposite way, switch the leads, and once it's connected it correctly, tape the leads to keep the wire in place. Mount the solar cells on the milk carton in an area where they can collect the most sun. Take the car outside, connect the drive belt and let it go.


text: I had a quick question. I'm currently using thesis themes and all is great, I'm doing pretty well with the search engines considering I've only created the site less than a month ago, 1500+ UV a day, a few top ranking keywords etc. My question is now what would be the effects of me changing themes? I wanted to test out the Slick theme to try and improve my CTR for adsense, but I was curious whether or not the Changing of themes would adversely affect my rankings?

De Blok Centre
Brand new kid on the Development Block oozes functionality
de BLOK is an exciting new mixed-use development in Mbombela which combines high-end office space with specialised retail and restaurant space. This blend of complementary uses creates a development with a unique feel and character.
de BLOK is situated on the prominent corner of Ferreira and Wilhelm Street opposite the established El Madre centre, strategically located with excellent visual exposure and a high degree of visibility, in close proximity to the CBD as well as the residential areas of Steiltes, Matumi, Uitsig, Noordsig, Shandon and the older, well-established suburbs of Mbombela.
It provides the ideal setting for professional offices. Abundant on-site parking is available with short commuting distances to home and school.
de BLOK is a redevelopment of four existing residential houses and outbuildings which have been transformed under the guidance of Cecilia Janse van Rensburg of CEA Architects. Every effort has been made to maintain the original architectural style of these late 1970s houses while incorporating a modern touch and contemporary architectural features. It is designed to the ideology of green living and with a reduced carbon footprint and blends harmoniously with the existing developed and natural environment. This coming together of architectural styles has created an exciting yet functional development.
Full redevelopment of the interior of all structures has been done to ensure the provision of upmarket facilities for tenants. All twelve office units feature private bathroom and kitchen facilities and the majority of the units are detached, free-standing units with ground-floor access.
Building interiors are a fusion of modern and industrial elements, incorporating concrete entrance features and shutter exposed concrete ceilings, not commonly featured in office space design.
Core to the development vision was a desire to reintroduce an improved quality of life. A sustainable development approach was employed in the redevelopment of the sites and this was achieved by retaining existing structures and through the reuse of existing material insofar as possible. While building interiors boast brand-new, modern architectural design, exterior walls, windows and roofs of existing structures have been retained.
True to their vision to improve quality of life, the developers have approached the landscaping of the development with the same philosophy as the building process. Approximately 15% of the site will be landscaped with green open spaces incorporating a beautifully landscaped courtyard and tranquil water features. Under the guidance of well-known local landscape architect, Troos van der Merwe, of Fever Tree Synergy Landscaping, the design of the gardens is expected to unfold during April 2016. Mindful of the current water challenges, indigenous trees will be planted to complement the existing trees on-site. Pedestrian walkways are provided throughout the development, linking the various units, the courtyard and the delightful gardens.
On a more practical yet nevertheless highly important note, the existing municipal engineering services to the site have been replaced with new water, sanitation and electrical infrastructure. Internal road design and on-site parking is constructed to the highest engineering standards to ensure convenient access and ease of movement on the premises.
Prepaid water and electrical meters are provided to each unit, significantly reducing operational costs.
Security of both tenants and visitors to the site is of the utmost importance to the developers and, to ensure that high standards of security are attained, 24-hour security is provided on-site. The property will be enclosed with Clearvu perimeter fencing, contributing to the safety of tenants and centre patrons alike. Ample parking is provided for the development with a generous parking provision of five parking spaces per 100m² gross leasable floor area. Tenants also enjoy the option of undercover parking bays. The tenant mix of de BLOK is expected to be an exciting mix of retail, office and restaurant developments with office tenants making up the bulk of the occupancy. With 60% of the development let and some units already occupied in December 2015, this development is on track to be fully let when completed in June 2016. The de BLOK development enjoys a phenomenal take-up rate with 40% of the development let before construction had commenced. With its catchy name, the development is rapidly becoming a name on everyone's lips. Upon completion of the development and at full occupancy, de BLOK is expected to be one of the most exciting new developments of 2016 and a landmark development for the city.
de BLOK is the brainchild of a consortium of professionals with many years of experience in the property development industry. The realisation of a long-standing dream is achieved through a responsible approach to addressing service infrastructure and traffic flow, combined with a development philosophy which strives for harmony and balance. The aligning of practical experience and a heartfelt desire to create a sustainable development has resulted in de BLOK.
de BLOK - it's the new kid on the development block!

The Republican debate scheduled for the week of March 21 was canceled at the last minute because Donald Trump decided not to participate, invoking a prior engagement: "I'm doing a major speech in front of a very important group of people…that night" (the general electorate being not so important, one is left to suppose). Trump's condescending engagement with the process has apparently run its course: "I think we've had enough debates.
When Trump canceled, John Kasich did too. That left only Ted Cruz, so Fox News pulled out, citing the impossibility of debate in the form of soliloquy; the network wasn't going to risk airtime for the sad sound of one hand clapping. But frankly, the Republican debates had become a one-man show long ago. Kasich's decision was probably right: Who'd bother to watch a show without the main attraction? This lent a certain forlorn desperation to Cruz's willingness to show up: Instead of winning him a few points for stepping up to the plate, he was framed to look like the unpopular kid who turns out for a party that the mean kids have moved across town without telling him.
It is remarkable how successfully Trump has manipulated the inverted realities of a television industry in which the firewall between news and entertainment, between journalism and profit-making, has collapsed entirely. Fox has certainly never made a pretense of being anything other than beholden to its corporate sponsors; but even so, it's sad to see the Fourth Estate straying so far from its purported function of sustaining an informed citizenry. This much I lay squarely at the feet of the FCC: The public interest was sacrificed long ago with that agency's slow corruption, gradually allowing the greater and greater aggregation of corporatized media outlets in fewer and fewer hands—such as Rupert Murdoch or Clear Channel—while simultaneously chipping away at regulatory checks like the Fairness Doctrine and the equal-time rule.
If the FCC allowed Fox to rule the journalistic henhouse, Fox enabled Trump to become its first real political reality star, sweeping the ratings to the point that his presence has become essential. The "Trump bump" is the ultimate validation of the old tabloid dictum that "If it bleeds, it leads"; he's the network's lifeline to attracting eyeballs and clicks. If it weren't so frightening, one might be able to savor the irony: Trump is a monster of Fox's own making, and when he grows tired of toying with Megyn Kelly, he simply walks off the set and shuts the whole thing down. Indeed, if any media outlet thought they were going to edge Trump out by strategies like canceling Miss Universe… well, he's certainly shown them.
Philosopher Slavoj Zizek writes that thumbing one's nose is traditionally a phallic gesture, whose message "would appear to be a simple showing-off in front of an adversary: look how big mine is; mine is bigger than yours." But Zizek explores the idea that the gesture is actually an imitation of the other's member, so that the ulterior message becomes: "Yours is so big and powerful but in spite of that, you are impotent. You cannot hurt me with it." Thus, the sneering flip-off-the-nose by even the stubbiest of thumbs represents a threatened castration. And any attempt by one's adversary to attest to his own power "is doomed to function as a denial…. The more he reacts…the more his impotence is confirmed."

Established in 2001, BERBERICH DESIGN specializes in providing creative services for the design, development and implementation of architectural graphics, wayfinding signage, and brand communications for the built environment.
BERBERICH DESIGN has created unique, award-winning designs—designs that are consistently grounded in practicality and strengthened by the knowledge of related industries. Because each client and each environment requires a distinctive approach, we strive to develop successful design solutions that complement the client's architecture and address the client's budget, all in an environment that focuses on the end user.
Our work is often found in cities, campuses, and large facilities—such as hospitals and sports facilities—but also it can include linked branding efforts that tie together everything from logos and interior design to billboards and architectural elements. This kind of work requires close interface with governmental agencies, business owners, architects, engineers, and the public.
What makes BERBERICH DESIGN different is expertise. Wayfinding and brand communications is a targeted specialty in the worlds of architecture and design—and good design requires a solid background in construction methods and management, community development, transportation, branding, marketing, and especially an understanding of how people move through spaces and their environment.

On a completely unrelated note, the holiday season is almost officially here!! I didn't even realize until yesterday that Thanksgiving is next week (and that I have yet to buy my tickets to fly out East, oops.) (Another side note, is east capitalized or not? Cause here it refers to the action of flying in a certain direction, but also flying to a specific region. Idk, the grammar stickler in me is confused. I guess it depends on pragmatics.)

Folks, I was surprised to discover that Molly Mac Gear has been removed from the Tree to Tree Trail Gear web site. I knew that they stopped making new Molly Mac Gear quite a while ago. Apparently, they ran out of inventory.
Although they did not let me know ahead of time about this change, they did explain it after the fact. Oh, well! In spite of this change, Darby and SmithOBX remain my good friends, for whom I hope nothing but the best!
You can still get all Molly Mac Gear products from MollyMacGear.com, where products are either available through the online store, or by contacting me directly.

New Waco Jesus Song Streaming
Sevared Records has just released the brand new full length album from warped brutal death metal masters Waco Jesus. Waco Jesus is bringing back their sadistic dark roots of scum grind terrorism with its fifth full length release "Mayhem Doctrine." Check out one of the new tracks from the album, "Going Viral," below.
Metal Lyrics: A Race to the Bottom?
I love art that shocks just for the simple shock value and the awkward looks I get from people when I mention enjoying things like "Fanta Claus" and "Postal 2." So it goes without saying that I've done my fair share of listening to bands with lyrical themes glorifying every single perversion and depravity imaginable. But once you've pushed things to the crudest and most vulgar level possible, you hit a wall and say to yourself, "Wow, this is completely fucking pointless."
Yes, I've been there. I've listened to Aryan Terrorism's xenophobic calls for violence. I've sung along to the homophobic hate hymns of Impaled Nazarene and The Meat Shits. I've even praised the lyrics of Rupture Christ and Woods of Infinity with the term, "Pedo to the metal!" Looking back on all that now, it just seems beyond juvenile since intentionally upsetting people and violating taboos doesn't do anything productive. Getting knee-jerk reactions out of people doesn't make you more enlightened just because you aren't bothered by the things that other people would prefer not to think about. At some point, you need to move past The Death of God and onto the Reevaluation of All Values. Yes, reality is filled with all sorts of horrible things but that hardly means that the most horrific are the most real and the most terrifying are the most true. More...
