Senator Vare has the contract for pro

the 'ipirlon tudnv that atrocities in war
fare vveiti th'ncs to be expected. Sir.
Pepper has followed the present war In
Kuropo with a great deal of Interest and
I has considered the numerous tales and
! jcports of the alleged atrocities perpe
trated In speaking or tnese unegea out
rages, he said:
"Atrocities aro considered by many as
unnecessary Incidents of war In my
estimation the commission of frightful
atrocities Is inevitable whenever masses
of nmn are for the time beln? turned Into
tigets by tho war spirit. So better de
scription of war than Sherman's has been
given. War I hell, and whenever hell Is
firned loose there will always be found
plenty of devils to tend the fires. We

G i r a r d College Orphan,
Seeking Adventure, Slept
Under the Stars Little
Pal Yet Missing.
Forlorn and shivering, hungry and tired,
a little boy who ran away from Glrard
College on Monday to seek adventure was
found early today huddled In the shadow
of the doorstep at 23th street and Mont
gomery avenue. Policeman Humphreys,
who saw the child, wrapped his coat
about him and took the boy to the 23th
and Oxford stieets station.
There the little runaway said he was
John Hand and admitted with a touch
of prldo the weight of 11 years resting
on his shoulders. He had scaled the
wall surrounding the college grounds with
Francis Crost, 13 years old, another In
mate of the Institution, and the two
determined to see "life." The other lad
la now being sought by tho police. Hand
said he left his companion asleep In
a vacant lot near the place he had been
The two boys had 49 cents between them
when they climbed over the wall. One
fourth of this was spent before they
were out of the college grounds a half
hour, when a lurid motion picture ad
vertisement which told of heroic deeds on
Western plains attracted the young ad
venturers Realizing that 30 cents would not keep
them In food very long, they satisfied
their future cravings for excitement by
merely looking at bll' boards Instead of
going In the "movies " At night they
slept In vacant lots.
When their small capital dwindled to
the point where strictest economy was
necessary, the children dropped pennies
In slot machines and munched peanut
thus obtained. Apparently they did not
realize the seriousness of their plight,
for when Policeman Humphreys put
young Hand on the Pergeanfa desk at
the stutlon houso the lad's enthusiasm for
more adventuie was not diminished He
was nnxloiid that his comrade should be
found, so the two might continue their
I.ast night. Hand said, he and Crost
decided to sleep In a vacant lot near 24th
street nnd Montgomerj avenue. They had
walked miles during the dav, ho said, and
were t'red Accordingly, with coats pulled
over their shouldert., the two slept beneath
the stais. Later Hand awoke furling cold
He crept to the shadow of the doorstep
to flntoh his sleep where the pollcemnn
found him.
2 A. M. Recital Brings the Police nnd
Pence Follows Discord.
Discoid has given way to harmony In
the ICenney family.
Although theie will be no mote enrly
morning concerts at tho ICenney home,
C23 Hockland street, Gertnnntown, the
neighbors are happy. The discord was
due to the musical ambitions of Walter
Kenney. Other members of his family did
not acree with Walter regarding his
musical capacities. They contended that
he struck what musicians call "blue"
notes. The neighbors agreed with them
and the whole region seemed to feel the
same color.
Difference of opinion between Walter
Kenney, ht relatives und the neighbors
was responsible for sending him to the
House of Coriectlon,
Kenney's musical Inspirations become
especially emphatic about 3 o'clock In
the morning, for that's when he plays
longest ami loudest. He attributes tills
to the eccentricities of genius. Kenney
attempted everything from ragtime to
Chopin's runeral March this morning,
but when this latter selection filled tho
air the musician's father and brother
tried to drag tho performer from tho
parlor organ. Kenney struck a few
notes nnd then a few relatives.
Two policemen took Kenney to the
Germantown police station, and when
Magistrate Pennock heard of Kcnnej'3
habits there was much sympathy lu his
gaze as he looked at the other battered
members of tho Konney family. But
there was no smpathy for Kenney, the
prisoner. "I'll give jou fivo dajs In tho
House of Correction," ho said.

Pictures Entertain Show Pa
trons, Films Costing Him
$100 a Week Being Fur
nished Free by Candidate.
Senator Penrose la entertaining the
"movie fans" of Pennsylvania. He Is
paving the cost of keeping on the screens
of motion picture houses In ull parti, of
the State 30 prints of a 700-foot film,
which are now In their second wcik of
showing the senior Senator In vurlous
The films show him actually In Wash
ington, seated at his desk In 'Jls office
there, riding to the Capitol In a carriage,
and entering the Senate wing of the
Cnpltol, and they show him campaigning
at tho National Guard encampment at
Jit Gretna, and on tho stump In the
western part of the State.
Tho "Prosperity Film Exchange," which
is really only Martin Gaubcr, an employe
of the Mutual Film Corporation, of 502
Filbert stteet, has charge of the dis
tribution. Invitations to avail themselves of the
Penrose free-film service have been sent
to nil motion picture house managers'
who favor Penrose's candidacy, said
Gauber today.
They have passed their 2Mth perform
ance, ho said, nnd have been shown nil
tho way from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh
before audiences aggregating nearly
1,000,000 persons. They are on tho pro
grams of two or thrto theatres In Phila
delphia nnd ns many In Pittsburgh every
day, CJaubor said.
"What does It cost the managers to
show this film?" Gauber was asked.
"Nothing." he answered. "Senator
Penrose pays nil of the cost. When wo
send them upstate, though, the man
nrers huvo to pay express charges for
one way."
It Is costing Senntor Penrose more than
$100 a week for distribution, he said. The
films cost about 10 cents n foot to manu
facture. Penrose puld this bill, said
Gauber, and alto paid the expenses of
the camera man, who spent five days
with him In the western part of Penn
sylvania, nnd whom he took to Wash
ington with him In his automobile.
Gauber was atkcd: "Is that all It Is
costing Penrose?"
"Four men wanted $10 apiece In order
to get films for a show to support the
Penrose film," answered Gauber, "but
they finally took the Penrose film free."
Catop Woodvllle, the famous artist,
tells an nmuslng story connected with the
old Duke of Wellington. One night he was
dining with the Duke and Christopher
Sykes and In the smoking room after
dinner his royal highness, sitting In a
comfortable arm chair, dropped placidly
otf to sleep. The other two continued
their conversation for some time In a
low tone, punctuated by loud snore
from the Duke. Then Mr. Woodvllle
laughed at something the other said,
and the Duke awoke with a start

GENERALLY speaking, there are plays that are about something and there are plays that are about themselves. The latter is true of Enda Walsh's "The Walworth Farce," the production by Ireland's Druid Theater Company of Galway now playing a limited run at St. Ann's Warehouse en route to London's National Theatre.
An award winner at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, this meta-theatrical exercise about a supremely dysfunctional family is tremendously clever, but ultimately as wearisome as it is antic.
The title refers to the play within a play that is performed on an apparently regular basis by the middle-age Dinny (Denis Conway) and his sons Blake (Garrett Lombard) and Sean (Tadhg Murphy) in their dilapidated South London flat.
A convoluted and clearly imaginary depiction of the manner in which the family reached their present circumstances after their happier suburban beginnings in the Irish city of Cork, its nonsensical narrative features everything from cross-dressing to murder, with a side dish of poisoned chickens.
Most of the first act is taken up with this silliness, until the arrival of an interloper – a sweet supermarket checkout girl (Mercy Ojelade) who's taken a shine to Sean – interrupts the proceedings to possibly dangerous effect.
The playwright clearly wants to make a statement about the ways in which we use illusions and selective memory to justify our actions, but the message is lost amid the general hokum.
As with so many Irish plays, the language is rich and dense – in this case, far too much so – and the farcical proceedings are tinged with brutal undercurrents.
But despite the undeniably effective staging by Mikel Murfi and the incredibly committed performances by the ensemble, "The Walworth Farce" proves much ado about nothing.
St. Ann's Warehouse, 38 Water St., Brooklyn; (718) 254-8779. Through May 4.

A troubling trend in Global Warming Denial on the internet
15 January 09
Our 2008 analysis of global warming misinformation finds that there was a very significant upswing in online activity.
Here's the stats we've generated as evidence of our conclusions (click any of the images to enlarge):
"Global Warming" + hoax
A Google blog search for the term "global warming" + hoax between January 1, 2008 and January 1, 2009 reports 49,719 page results. The same search for the previous year reports only 22,077 page results.
"Global Warming" + lie
A Google blog search for the term "global warming" + lie between January 1, 2008 and January 1, 2009 reports 100,770 page results. The same search for the previous year reports only 50,016 page results.
"Global Warming" + alarmists
A Google blog search for the term "global warming" + alarmists between January 1, 2008 and January 1, 2009 reports 27,298 page results. The same search for the previous year reports only 13,864 page results.
"Global Warming" + skeptic
A Google blog search for the term "global warming" + skeptic between January 1, 2008 and January 1, 2009 reports 73,956 page results. The same search for the previous year reports only 38,346 page results.
[Note: For those who've never visited our site before and might be wondering what I mean by "climate science misinformation," you can check out this article written by DeSmog co-founder James Hoggan on Slamming the Skeptic Scam.]
Outside of a small band of ideologically motivated outlets, the majority of the mainstream media is unwilling to cover the nonsensical junk science of the right-wing think tanks and their cadre of scientists for hire. With this the case, the internet is exploding with such information. And at the same time that we're seeing significantly more of this misinformation being spread about global warming online, we're also seeing more people than ever using the internet as their main source of news and information.
Here's some recent findings that should trouble anyone working to implement new laws to reduce greenhouse gas emissions:
1) The internet is now a larger source of news for people than newspapers.
Research conducted in December, 2008 by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press found that the internet is now used as a news source by more Americans than newspapers. The report found that: "for the first time in a Pew survey, more people say they rely mostly on the internet for news than cite newspapers (35%). Television continues to be cited most frequently as a main source for national and international news, at 70%."
2) Millions of people are seeking global warming information online.
In an average month more than 2.2 million people in the United States search for the term "global warming" on Google and another 368,000 people search for the term "climate change." The more climate misinformation that is posted on the internet, the more likely that people searching for information on global warming will be exposed to it. In fact the number 2 search result for "global warming" on Google is currently a website run by the thoroughly discredited Competitive Enterprise Institute:
And the results of all this?
Opinion polls conducted in the United States over the last year confirm the upward trend in people who believe that global warming is NOT caused by human activity. One series of polls conducted by Rasmussen Reports found that between April and December, 2008 the number of respondents who attributed global warming to "long term planetary trends" and not human activity increased from 34 percent to 43 percent.
This upswing is in spite of the 2007 United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) releasing a report by top climate scientists from around the world concluding that global warming is "very likely"—or 90 per cent certain—caused by humans burning fossil fuels.
Legislators are going to be very hard pressed to implement strict new greenhouse gas regulations if almost a majority of the public believes that climate change has nothing to do with human activity. As will environmental groups who are urging average citizens to take personal action to reduce their carbon footprint.
Many people (even some well-known climate activists) have told me that the "deniers' days are over," so I hope these statistics are a wake-up call.
If this is going to be the year that we have the political leadership in the United States with the will to take real action on climate change, we're all going to have to double, or even triple our efforts to dispel the myths and lies being spread online about the realities of the situation
Haha...I already told you this is total bullshit
I always knew it, always will...no doubt! It's just a way for environmentalists to scare us into doing what they "know" is right.

Global warming and cigarettes.
Clearly we should ignore the scientific community and go with the scientists being paid for their opinions. By the way, cigarettes aren't actually bad for you either.
Surely we should ignore the scientific community
that is getting paid, like Al Gores gang. Why is it that you can ignore good science and go with junk science done with hypothetical computer modeling? There is a great ox to gore here. Trying to get people out of their cars. Geez and then we can all take public transportation! Have you ever read or even heard about the Seven Tenets of Communism? Look em up!
Sorry, but Al Gore simply isn't that rich. Judging by your post, you seem to be assuming that the only scientists saying Global Warming is a problem are the ones Al Gore sponsors. In reality, everyone from Scientific America to climatologists to conservationists have voiced concerns about global warming. The attitude of "If we don't look at it, its not happening" is a very dangerous one, and I cannot understand how perfectly rational people can bury their heads in the sand.
Even if global warming was not an issue, our dependence on non-renewable fuel is going to fuck us pretty hard in the end. For example, how much of the oil we use is domestically drilled? Are you saying you would be opposed to the United States achieving energy independence? That you don't want us to have to either bend our collective knee every time someone decides not to give us our fix?
That was an actual, direct question by the way. I really want to know if you want the US to be energy independent, and if so how exactly you think we would do that while still using oil.

I did too. But thankfully those scientists at Phillip-Morris told me that they actually promote good health.
The jury is out on Global Warming
There are tens of thousands of scientists who do not agree with man-caused global warming and some serious research suggesting global cooling is more of a threat. Not that I think Pravda is the best source, but here's a link: http://english.pravda.ru/science/earth/106922-earth_ice_age-0. The real issue, however, is whether or not Gllobal Warming is anthropogenic--caused by human activity or whether it is part of the natural changes caused by our own sun. Why, for example, is their global warming on Mars and Jupiter's moons? There aren't any SUVs up there, I don't think. This is way more complex than can be dealt with here, but a couple of points:
1) We're coming off an ice age. Hello? Global Warming! And guess what? It's already happened. Take a look at Hudsons Bay in Canada. See that big round circle? What do you think caused that? A meteor or asteroid, probably, millions of years ago. Now think Ice Age. Ice covered that area completely, but then, about 13,000 years ago things started to warm up. In North America we call this the Wisconsin Stage. (Sorry, I minored in Geology.) The ice over Hudson's Bay melted first. The ice on the land surrounding Hudsons Bay took longer to melt--just like around the Great Lakes today--the shore ice builds up over winter. If you've ever seen that you know what I mean.
Now there were people 13,000 years ago. Indeed, that's how Indians got here--over the Siberian land bridge because the sea level was lower (This is proven by DNA, by the way). But there was also civilization of a sort in India, China, Egypt, and Japan. It was probably pre-Renaissance or near-Renaissance in how advanced it was--and it was centered on the seacoasts--when the sea was 60 feet lower than today. Follow me?
So ultimately the ice dam holding back the water in Hudsons Bay melted and broke, and within a day or so the world's oceans rose 60 feet and innudated those civilizations, thus giving rise to the universal flood myth which turns out not have been a myth at all. Fascinating, huh? Read all about it in Graham Hancock's 'Underworld' which gives the story in detail. The same exact thing happened in another area of western Canada on a more minor scale that carved out Eastern Washington State from the Cascades to the Columbia River, which remains barren today.
The point of this rather long aside is that we are still coming off that ice age today, in which case Global warming may very well be good, not bad, because it could help deter another ice age. The alarmists would have it that Global Warming is all bad, and that thousands more will die of heat stroke in the summer. But they fail to tell you how many people won't die from the cold of winter, which is substantially more. They tell us that crops will fail and fail to tell us that in other areas crops will grow better. There are tons of information out there if you will just go look for it, such as here: http://www.climate-skeptic.com/2007/09/table-of-conten.html?gclid=CIuqlM....
The issue is that the alarmists would have us all be good little citizens as they scare us with half the story. It is not 'more rational' to simply believe whatever you are told by the news media and fail to take a skeptical view of these issues. Enough for this post. I will post some more links and a bibliography later on, as well as discuss teh so-called energy shortage, which is yet another liberal bullshit lie being foisted upon us. Cheers

I can always count on Schuyler for scientific data.
I hereby Proclaim being El Presidente, that from here forward. Schuyler is The Minister of Information, second only in command to myself. What Schuyler says is here forthwith the Gospel! Unless I disagree.
I agree that some aspects of global warming are being exaggerated. But, thats just part of the human condition. Every generation has a group that thinks its the end of the world. Its happened in every recorded culture, for every reason from God's wrath to disease to flooding and everything in between. The "Global Warming Will End the World" idea is the modern day version of that for people who have reservations about believing in a religious end of the world.
But, I believe we can both agree it will be bad. Humanity will certainly march on, but it will cause some very ugly times for us as a whole.
The specific causes are debatable, and I think its likely a combination of several factors rather then one be all end all. The same gasses that cause a greenhouse effect on Venus and Mars are the ones being put into the air by humans right now, which I have some trouble not believing is a contributing factor. Is it the sole cause? Certainly not. Is it a likely contributer? You bet.

The same search also turned up this link.
Somehow, I suspect that neither of these results were what the person doing the search for "man to man enemas" had in mind. However, I do hope that my post did manage to educate him on the ineffectiveness of coffee enemas and megadoses of carrots as a treatment for colorectal cancer and that the other link amused him with its description of the travails of giving a cat an enema.

First new At the Drive-In song in 16 years released
Just sit back and enjoy:
Discuss it here
Just sit back and enjoy:
Discuss it here
It's been a very long time since the last blog post but this seems blog-worthy for sure. From ipecac.com/news:
We're excited to announce that we'll be releasing a series of Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (At The Drive In/Mars Volta) solo albums with the first release, Sworn Virgins, available digitally on July 15.
The previously unreleased albums were recorded from 2008 to 2013, while Rodriguez-Lopez lived in Zapopan, Mexico and as well as his eventual return to El Paso. The titles will be released on a bi-weekly basis with the first spate of albums running through the end of the year. Each album will see a digital release with a limited number of physical copies (CD) available on Rodriguez-Lopez's various live outings. Following the initial run of releases, a limited edition CD/LP box set will become available.
"The best part about having a record label is that you get to choose to work with people that you really admire," said Ipecac's Greg Werckman. "We had all admired Omar's work from afar and then recently got to know him up close. It was so great to find out that as talented as he is, he is an even better human being and we love having him as part of the Ipecac family. But, it seems that he has blatantly taken advantage of our friendship. Sure, we were excited to release his solo catalog… but this many titles??????? What have we gotten ourselves into?"
Rodriguez-Lopez adds, "It's crucial in this day and age to be able to surround yourself with like minded people that you can share an ethos with. I feel grateful and fortunate enough to have found this with such amazing people: Mike, Greg, Shawn, Marc and the Ipecac family. After throwing around many different project ideas, this seemed like the best place to actually begin, on what will surely be a long lasting collaboration. I can't think of a better home for these records or of another label crazy enough to put out this much material. The series also owes its blood to the hard work and talents of Jon Debaun and Chris Common, who diligently scouredthrough endless hard drives to find these albums and provide such stellar mixes."
Omar Rodriquez-Lopez initial release schedule:
Sworn Virgins (July 15)
Corazones (July 29)
Blind Worms Pious Swine (August 12)
Arañas en La Sombra (August 26)
Umbrella Mistress (September 9)
El Bien Y Mal Nos Une (September 23)
Cell Phone Bikini (October 7)
Infinity Drips (October 21)
Weekly Mansions (November 4)
Zapopan (November 18)
Nom De Guerre Cabal (December 2)
Some Need It Lonely (December 16)
Server is at its new location and it is up and running. So far no noticeable issues but give it a few days to know for sure, just a little change in regards to registration e-mails was necessary, my test worked fine after the fix.
Also, don't be afraid if you can't connect for a few minutes, we're running some updates and might need to reboot the server.
See you guys soon!
I'm sure many of you noticed the downtime yesterday, power outage in our current data center (most likely caused by human failure). We have been a little unhappy with them these past few months for various reasons which is why we're moving the server to a new location in the hopes that the forum uptime will be as good as it should be, which is as close to 100% as possible.
The move is planned for Saturday, June 21, in the afternoon (GMT). The board will enter maintenance mode, so if your nameserver records still point to the old IP address, you will get a message that the board is not available for posting – no posts will be lost, we'll be doing a backup once in maintenance mode.
The actual downtime will be approx. 2 hours but it may take 24-48 hours for your nameserver to update its records. So in case you can't access the Coma this weekend, I hope you'll have a wonderful weekend nonetheless, maybe even go outside for a bit? 🙂
Head over to http://nadiesound.com/ and get yourself a download of the Tremulant remaster, it is only $4 USD.
Direct link: http://nadiesound.com/album/tremulant-ep
We're working on it. The board should be back up as soon as possible (database keeps &%§!(/%§ up after a few clicks).
Sorry about that, I would also like to talk about ANTEMASQUE as much as the next guy.
UPDATE: Should be working fine again. Hopefully. 🙂
This time under the name ANTEMASQUE. Other members include Flea and Dave Elitch.
Here's the official trailer, for more check out the new ANTEMASQUE subforum:
Check out this topic here if you want to listen to some previously unreleased The Mars Volta material (demos, etc.).
Thanks to the anonymous donor and thanks to Shareeb for sharing with the rest of us.
Come check it out here
P.S. ZAVALAZ has yet to release their debut album so without any intent to discriminate, it just seems like a sub-forum for them is not necessary yet, the discussion is still going slow.
(personally, I didn't think the BR one was necessary but what do I know)
If there are any issues, please post about them (start a topic if there isn't already a bugreport one).
So far it only has the ugly standard skin, I'll work on the looks of the board in a little bit – the most important thing is there and I hope you all like it.

Barker created four monumentally enlarged Zips silk-screened onto canvas between 1962 - 64 (one destroyed, two in the present lot and one orange Zip). His first Zip silk-screen of 1962 pre-dates Andy Warhol's use of silk-screen. Warhol's first silk-screen was created in August 1962. The work was a portrait of the teen idol and American actor - Troy Donahue. This work was followed in rapid succession by silk-screens of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Elizabeth Taylor, Marlon Brando and Mona Lisa.
Barker's first silk-screen work entitled Three Zips (now destroyed) was executed earlier in 1962. The present work (1964) portrays two canvases, one blue Zip and one black Zip. The Zips are in silk-screen and the backgrounds are painted in acrylic. Barker and Keith Morris hung the works side by side (with blue Zip on the left) in Morris's house during the late 1960s. Keith Morris was a close friend of Barker, who photographed many images of Barker during his lifetime. Morris gained an apprenticeship under David Bailey, was Marc Bolan's exclusive photographer and captured hundreds of iconic images of legends including Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and BB King.

Pre-Lot Text
Clive Barker was born in Luton, the son of Frederick and May. Frederick was a coach painter at Vauxhall Motors. In 1957, Barker enrolled at the Luton College of Technology and Art. However, it was not Barker's two years at Art School that were to prove the most formative but his fifteen months spent working on the assembly line at Vauxhall Motors, Luton. It was here he 'witnessed the precision and beauty of the freshly fabricated automobiles clad in gleaming metal and upholstered in sensuous leather' (see A. Fermon & M. Livingstone, Clive Barker Sculpture Catalogue Raisonné 1958-2000, Milan, 2002, p. 7). His choice of materials and how they were finished was largely inspired by Barker's time spent there. Barker relied (and still does to this day) on specialist fabricators to achieve the optimum final result for his works. Marcel Duchamp's idea of the ready-made was easy for Barker to accept. However, quite differently, Barker does not simply utilize objects as he finds them. Specialist fabricators are either commissioned by him to make objects to his designs or he recasts or resurfaces original objects so they become non-functional successors. Barker is also a highly skilled draughtsman and print-maker. His sketches habitually act as a mode of thought process and concept and he also creates stand alone artist drawings. He rarely undertakes works on paper on an epic size but two fine examples are found at lots 145 & 146, which are both outstanding and excitingly spontaneous in execution.
