This has easily been one of the most frustrating and confusing releases — album, compilation, or otherwise — that I've had the pain and the pleasure of experiencing in recent memory. In some ways, this works to Release's benefit — in most ways though, it results in a maddening inability to understand or even begin to grasp what exactly is going on. Even by noise standards, there appears to be a stunning lack of cohesion, down to the most basic elements — and that's not to say that it's experimental, avant-garde or just plain weird in a good way. The influences are clear; there is nothing here that I haven't heard before in experimental music, from overwhelming harshness to seemingly randomized cut-up industrial collage, but the way that they're thrown together is unfortunately more sloppy than successful, and it doesn't simply amount to the fact that this is a collection of tracks from all over the artist's prolific catalog.
The best way that I can describe the noise of Lackthrow as presented in this collection is to imagine it as a library of damaged memories, tagged randomly with tidbits of relative information. Dusty broken books shelved with torn pages and empty spaces, sometimes ripped in half, sometimes fused into the next memory by the fires of mental anguish. Tracks start and end without need for a comfortable point in which to do so, and most stand alone with little to no relation with the next. It's an abyss of random thought patterns that you can seemingly blend into and exit only to find yourself abruptly within the next.
Oddly, the best and worst moments of this collection stand in unison as the exact same thing: randomness. On the positive end of the spectrum, what we have here is a regular tour-de-force of post-industrial elements. Harsh noise, ambient, industrial rhythms, drone, power electronics, and even sparse elements of aggro-industrial and post-rock dominate both discs, in the end creating a monolithic hybrid of eccentric and emotional expression and exploration. It's a testament to the creative fluctuation that Powell has seen over the past two decades. On the negative end of the same spectrum is that very same emotion, which comes off in overly obsessive feminine track titles, excluding one modestly impressive suicidal black metal howling performance in "Home is not where the Heart is". These tracks end up coming off as childish or fickle in theme at best, and leave you wondering what "Kimberly" did that was so special that she deserved to have four cuts from the album "ONUS" to appear here and close out the album. That said, one of the most frustrating elements of Release is that there appears to be nothing about it that bothers to dive further than teenage, skin-deep emotions or reflections. Too much "love", too many "hearts", too much "her". This isn't to say that there aren't flashes of incredible, visceral moments though — the closer to the first disc "Pandemonium Interior Part III" is a fantastic example of a full-on blackened vocal rant backed by a tenebrous rhythmic atmosphere that comes off as sincerely devastating. Why isn't there more of this? It was obviously seen as unique and strange by someone for its placement to be at the end of the disc.
Some purists may attempt to explain that this is noise in the purest sense — something that is supposed to be without enjoyment, without form, without sensibility and theme and, above all, against the grain. But it doesn't seem against the grain in a manner that is concurrent with the ideas that make noise what it is today. Exceptional noise, in those artists whom push expressiveness and emotion into their sound, have always had a certain sense of desperation behind their compositions — an intangible sense of hopelessness that didn't necessarily need conveying via vocal delivery but could be felt in the release itself. I just can't feel that with this release outside of the rare track — it certainly doesn't feel like a "best of" or a collection of the top, or even most interesting efforts. Perhaps Release is just too long and stretches whatever actual meaning is within too thin. Interestingly enough, it was Egan Budd himself whom, for Blood Ties WebZine, pointed out that Lackthrow's In Rivers of Ice and Blue was so long that it overshadowed the positive aspects of the release — and that was only one CD-R.
I'm usually fairly objective in my writing as I feel that every release is a piece of art that has taken time, love, and an immense amount of energy to put together and thus deserves my respect and understanding. But so many things just went wrong with this one that it's impossible to ignore. I have no doubt that Andrew Powell has it in him to put something together that is monumental, but this compilation of his tracks from over the years doesn't showcase a very profound picture of the artist that hints at that possibility being a reality in the near future.

Ladies and gentlemen, we live in a great country. While this is, obviously, always true, sometimes something is brought to our attention that reminds us of that.
For example, a video recently surfaced of Michael Jordan losing a basketball game to Martin and Charlie Sheen back in 1986. It was called "The War of the Stars," it involved short shorts and it was epic.
Now, the greatness that is late-night cartoon viewing brings us another gem that can only be found in 'Murica: Cartoon Network's Adult Swim is making a cartoon starring Mike Tyson and a talking pigeon for a sidekick.
And yes, just in case you were wondering, Mike Tyson Mysteries does involve a magical face tattoo, so you're good on that one (via indiewire.com):
The series incorporates live-action appearances featuring Mighty Mike himself, and the gloves come off as the former heavyweight champ and his fowl-mouthed partner gear up for weekly adventures as they put unsolved mysteries – like how to defeat a super computer at chess or why a famous author/werewolf can't finish his novel – down for the count.
We here at Gamedayr only have two requests: First, please make one episode pairing Tyson and the pigeon with Scooby and Shaggy — every '90s child will have to call into work the next day while suffering from a melted face and blown mind.
Second, and this one is important: Either Charlie Sheen, Charles Barkley, Shaq, or Gilbert Gottfried as the voice of the pigeon.
Please, Adult Swim, you're already doing so much for us in making this wonderfully, stupidly ridiculous show, now just take it a little further.
We would also accept Will Ferrell as the pigeon's voice, because you're already making a freaking Mike Tyson cartoon with a pigeon for a sidekick. Everything else is just plain gravy.

Producer Kumar Mangat is planning the sequel of the 2006 hit film, but will it be as highly appreciated as the original?
Vishal Bhardwaj's Omkara won three National Awards, numerous popular awards and loads of critical acclaim. Based on William Shakespeare's classic tragedy Othello, this film was the highest grosser of the year 2006.

(JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., AP) — Missourians could buy motorcycles on Sunday under legislation endorsed by a state House panel.
Many states have repealed bans on selling retail on Sunday, but Missouri still prohibits dealers from selling cars, trucks and motorcycles on that day.
The measure endorsed by the House General Laws Committee Tuesday would remove motorcycles from that list. Supporters argue it would make Missouri more competitive with neighboring states, including Kansas, that permit such sales on Sunday.
The legislation now heads to the Rules Committee and is sponsored by Republican Rep. Caleb Jones, of Columbia.

Two Sick People in Bed: Relationship or Hospital?By Reggie Smith January 27, 2014 Whether you are HIV positive or not, our sexual relationships often say something about who we are as people. No matter what kind of sex you like, our emotional history plays a big part in how we are looking to satisfy our sexual desires. It often seems like hurt people, hurt people. If two people in a relationship harbor resentments, have fears of rejection or abandonment, or have unmet desires (spoken or unspoken), there is fertile ground for the relationship to get "infected" and get sick -- figuratively and literally. Self-awareness is an essential part of any healthy relationship where people can work out their differences while remaining committed to a goal. In marriage, the goal is to stay together "until death do us part," right? But with sex, just like in the game, "truth, dare and consequences," the truth is if you dare to have sex with a person, you will have to deal with the consequences. It does not matter whether it is a marriage, a relationship, a one-night stand, fling, or sexual adventure, the outcome (a child, STD, feelings, etc.) may end up being for life. Either way, there are rules we agree to play by, and you are considered a cheater if you don't. My friend A.B. Curl asks on the Facebook Fan Page, "are emotions like lust or jealousy keeping you from asking yourself and your partner important questions before you get your swerve on? He goes on to ask "has your animal instinct or insecurity stopped you from asking about your partner's HIV status or from wearing a condom?" If your answer is yes, then why is immediate gratification more important than our wellness? His questions always make me think about how we end up in relationships, why we stay in them, and how to have a healthy relationship, one day at a time. The choices we make about how to satisfy our God-given desire to have sex, and/or procreate, are often at the core of how our lives got to be the way they are. Would you be in the marriage or relationship you are in now, or have been in the past, if you had not slept with, or had a child with the person in question? At some point, we all will have to ask ourselves: What is a healthy way to deal with under-satisfied desires in a relationship? In other words, what do we do when we can't get what we want when we want it? Rage and irrationality are not the answer, and will cause even greater harm. Obviously, that is a lesson that some of the "Tea Party" representatives in Congress and America have yet to learn. I can't beat my wife because she doesn't want to do what I want her to. Parents that do not get along should not use their children as bargaining chips or ransom. Politicians should not lie and be able to withhold our money because they can't deal with their emotions or reality. Our individual and national maturity depends on our ability to communicate, adherence to a social contract of playing by the rules, and spiritual laws. Greed, like emotional immaturity, is cunning, baffling and insidious, just like any other addiction. The spiritual law that always applies is the "golden rule": Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. The social contract that I try to remember before acting on my emotions is "how would I speak to Mike Tyson?" Usually those two things give me a chance to stop, think and act like I care. None of us is perfect, but let's try to play by the rules, or we are going to have to change the game. I'm sure now is the time to RISE. Related Stories

This month at The Motley Fool we're committing ourselves to getting back to basics, culminating on September 25 with Worldwide Invest Better Day. With this in mind, my Foolish colleagues and I are opening the floodgates and unleashing vital information to help you invest better. In a previous article, we reviewed stock diversification, a key fundamental of investing. We're taking a look at stock sectors one by one, focusing today on materials.
Elementary, my dear investor
The materials sector includes companies involved in the discovery, production, and processing of raw and synthetic materials like gold, plastics, and steel. Materials companies produce the chemicals, containers, and packaging we use daily -- the plastic in our toothpaste tubes, the copper in our plumbing, and the aluminum in our beer cans are all thanks to this sector.
How the sector performs
As a whole, the sector is considered cyclical, meaning there's less demand for materials goods in a down economy. Generally, the sector sees a boost when the economy shifts from recession to recovery. But, because the sector is so diverse and pervasive, some subsectors have their own cycles. For example, companies that make cans like Alcoa have defensive properties. Meanwhile, demand for products from chemical and agriculture companies like Dow Chemical
Over long spans of time, the sector usually outperforms. During the past decade, the materials sector returned 150% versus 105% for the S&P 500. During a weak economy, the sector usually underperforms slightly. From October 2007 to March 2009, the sector lost roughly 56%, a time when the S&P 500 lost 54%. In the most recent stock market run-up, which commenced March 2009 and is still going, the materials sector returned 130% versus 133% for the S&P 500.
Trends in the materials sector
With the growing middle class in emerging nations like China and India, the world demand for food is increasing. As these developing countries have become wealthier, diets are improving and incorporating more protein like beef and chicken. This is driving agricultural demand, fueling growth for companies like Monsanto and DuPont.
Another driver of agriculture demand is the boom in biofuels. The rising costs of fossil fuels are leading the search for alternative fuel sources, such as ethanol made from corn. Currently, 40% of America's corn crop is used to make fuel for cars. The nation's top ethanol producers, Archer Daniels Midland and privately held POET, are in a good position to benefit from this trend.
With the increased use of gold as a reserve currency, central banks became net buyers of gold in 2010 and boosted global demand to an all-time high last year. This trend is expected to continue, and companies that mine gold, like Newmont Mining and Freeport-McMoRan Copper and Gold
Infrastructure build-out in emerging market nations is also increasing demand for metallurgical coal. Consequently, one of the world's largest iron ore producers Cliffs Natural Resources
A quick and easy way to own the sector
Using the MSCI World Sector Weightings as a benchmark, roughly 5% of your overall stock portfolio should be allocated to the materials sector. If you're looking for an easy way to own the sector, consider a sector-specific exchange-traded fund, or ETF. Sector-specific ETFs like the Materials Select Sector SPDR ETF are helpful when you desire a quick solution.
Invest better
If you bet wrong in the stock market, it could cost you dearly. Instead, develop a diversified strategy for adding all sectors to your portfolio. That way, regardless of what happens in the market, you'll sleep well at night knowing a portion of your portfolio will prevail.
Join us for more investing basics on our microsite for Worldwide Invest Better Day. On the site, we've posted many great articles aimed at helping you do just that.

Rikki Cameron, personal assistant to MEGADETH leader Dave Mustaine, has posted a message on the band's official web site denying reports that he collapsed in Russia and was rushed to the hospital, resulting in MEGADETH's abbreviated performance on March 16, 2011 in St. Petersburg during their "European Carnage" tour with SLAYER. She states, "I don't normally do this, but I want to take this opportunity to address some very serious LIES that are being spread right now. I'm going to say this as emphatically as I can, DAVE MUSTAINE NEVER COLLAPSED IN RUSSIA. Not ON stage, not back stage, not ever. He was NOT rushed to the hospital. Dave addressed his health issues himself, and I have no idea where anybody got the idea that there was a collapse because simply put, it is NOT TRUE. Anybody who was at that show can verify that, and as his personal assistant, as his right hand out here on the road, I want to testify to anybody who doubts it, this never happened.
"It's really pathetic that people have to play the telephone game and spread bullshit rumors to trump up some fantasy that they have played out in their heads. "Please pass the word along to anyone who may say otherwise, and to fellow MEGADETH fans, and to people who claim to know otherwise. "I have never worked for an artist who is so candid and honest with his fans and in the press as Dave Mustaine, and he told you all, in very great detail, exactly what happened to him that day. "Kidney stones are quite a normal thing, and extremely painful. There was no lies from him, no covering it up, he was open and honest and still went out on stage and tore it up for his fans. "All of us out here are proud and inspired to work for a leader like him who has such a never-say-die attitude. "This is just another smear campaign by some bad tabloid media. "Get your facts straight, folks, choose your wording very carefully. Something as strongly worded as 'collapse' can come across as way more dramatic and blown out of proportion than you may realize. It is very poor form to create worry and panic where there is none needed. "You heard it here first: Britney Spears does NOT have 2 heads (though Charlie Sheen, I'm not so sure), Ozzy does not eat bats for breakfast on a daily basis, and Dave Mustaine did NOT collapse in Russia."DAVE MUSTAINE Did Not 'Collapse' In Russia, Says His Personal Assistant

EPA says no
The Herald reports:
Investment in resource extraction from New Zealand's vast Exclusive Economic Zone has taken a major knock today, with a decision-making committee of the Environmental Protection Authority rejecting an application from TransTasman Resources to mine ironsands off the seabed some 22 to 36 kilometres off the coast of Patea.
TTR issued a statement disclosing the rejection ahead of detail from the EPA, saying it was "extremely disappointed with the decision."
The company spent some $60 million over seven years developing the project, which it believed could be achieved in an environmentally sustainable way and create additional exports of around $150 million a year from the export of around five million tonnes annually of titano-magnetite iron ore to Asian steelmills, using a suction dredging process that would have returned 90 per cent of the sands to the ocean floor.
"We have put a significant amount of time and effort into developing this project including consulting with iwi and local communities and undertaking detailed scientific research to assess environmental impacts of the project," said TTR's chief executive, Tim Crossley.
"Our objective has been to develop an iron sands extraction project which achieves substantial economic development while protecting the environment.
The EPA makes independent decisions, and they obviously didn't feel comfortable approving the project.
It is a pity though as there was huge economic potential from ironsands, and the area being applied for was in Taranaki, well away from any well populated beach areas,
But at least it means those who claimed the new EPA process wouldn't protect the environment can't scaremonger any more on that.

Between Two Worlds (educational)
- Directed by: Taggart Siegel
- Produced by: Taggart Siegel & Dwight Conquergood
Running Time: 27 min
Subjects: Anthropology, Southeast Asian Studies
BETWEEN TWO WORLDS: The Hmong Shaman in America powerfully exposes the struggle of Hmong refugees in America. This classic documentary traces the lives of three Hmong families displaced thousands of miles from their villages in Northern Laos and alienated in American cities. Renowned anthropologist Dwight Conquergood narrates the rich history of shamanic rituals and explains the similarity between Hmong beliefs and those of Aboriginal people of the Americas. Rare and dramatic scenes reveal traditional ceremonies and psychological challenges faced by the Hmong as they strive to maintain their culture. A missionary's attempt to convert a Hmong family to Christianity highlights the pressures confronting refugees adapting to a new environment. The effects of their trauma are extreme in the Sudden Unexplained Nocturnal Death Syndrome, a mysterious phenomenon that causes Hmong men to die in their sleep. The ancient ways of the Hmong are in danger of being lost forever. This riveting documentary presents uncensored and unforgettable glimpses into a culture caught between two worlds.

To readers outside the USA let me inform you of one of our quirky little chinks in the separation of church and state armor, churches and the like are exempt from paying taxes in this country, to my way of thinking that forces all of us to pay tithes in that we must make up for the revenue not collected from them.
Today I was driving past the national guard armory in my town, this is where the homeless are allowed to sleep during the winter months, as I passed I saw a woman in her 70's at least, she was in a wheelchair heading to the armory, in route she passed the well manicured lawn of the gargantuan Baptist church, this was on a Tuesday so the building was empty and locked.
Why if they are exempt from taxes should they not be forced to serve the community beyond platitudes and token acts?
I would like to propose that when a tax exempt edifice stands empty, its doors should be open to shelter the needy of our society. Would this not be fair or am I missing something?
I would suggest we find out how the armory gets around the liability issue and bring it to the churches
The poor folks would be sermonized to death. Can we just make them pay taxes!?
Same in Australia - average run of the mill priest has house, car, housekeeper, secretary - all tax free.
Scientology has just bought a building in the middle of the city for $23 million - all tax free - churches are always on top of the hill - best views - very expensive land - all tax free - all monasteries - tax free.
It is secular people who do most of the feeding of homeless people here - of course there is Salvation Army who put their money where their mouth is, and have hostels for the homeless, and live very frugal lives. Exclusive Brethren want to build a 900 people church on prime agricultural land, and there is uproar, something these evil people do not want is to be put under the spotlight. They do nothing for any community, except their boss, who runs a multi million dollar business selling Hi tech gear, which the average EB isn't ALLOWED to have - hypocrisy reigns. Xians do not want 'plebs and luddites' contaminating their pristine churches - loving xians...
Not bad if you can swing it.

Ten-year-old pals Step It Up
The creative efforts of two 10-year-olds has led to hundreds of dollars being raised for children in need.
At last count, Kaelan Henders and Will Heine had collected $1,200 for charitable organizations World Vision and Free the Children – and the two friends plan to give that number a further boost in the coming months.
"By the end of this year, we would like to raise $2,000," Kaelan said.
The Grade 5 Rosemary Heights Elementary students were inspired to take action by Free the Children's We Day – an event held in Vancouver last fall that celebrates the ability of youth to make a difference – and World Vision television ads.
"I was watching World Vision on TV and then I sponsored a child in Indonesia and we wanted to help more kids in Indonesia," Kaelan said, noting he went door to door requesting donations.
Will joined in shortly after, and the two hosted a December movie night at the Clova Cinema in Cloverdale, where they screened Yogi Bear and raised more than $1,000 by selling tickets in their school and neighbourhood.
"It took a lot of planning but we managed to get it done," Will said. "We ended up raising a lot."
"We got our class involved," Kaelan added. "They helped sell tickets; they donated, too."
The students – who fundraise under the name Step It Up – presented some of the money they collected to a World Vision representative who visited the class in January.
They plan to donate the rest of the funds to Free the Children, which is sending a speaker to the class next week.
Kaelan and Will are now planning another campaign, which will see them collect orders for Canucks and Step It Up shirts they plan to purchase from a T-shirt company. They are also looking to raise money by holding a school talent show.
"We hope to do this for the rest of our lives," Will said of giving back. "We have a bunch of people in our class who are helping us with ideas for fundraisers."
The two friends never expected their fundraising to make it this far, Kaelan noted.
"I was pretty surprised when I got like $100 from door to door, but we've got $1,000," he said. "It feels pretty good."
Will agreed.
"It's a really good feeling knowing you are helping out people who are suffering in different parts of the world."

Syria imported nearly six times more weapons in 2007-2011 than in the previous five-year period, with Russia accounting for 72 percent of the arms supplies to President Bashar Assad's regime, an international research institute said Monday.
The report on global arms transfers by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute highlighted how Moscow continues to provide Syria with weapons even as the U.S., the European Union and others impose arms embargoes due to the regime's violent crackdown on protesters.
It did not specify the volume of weapons exports after the start of the uprising in 2011.
Major Russian arms deliveries to Syria in 2007-2011 included air defense systems and anti-ship missiles, which have no direct use in the current unrest in the Arab state. But they have upgraded the regime's capability to defend against outside intervention, SIPRI researcher Pieter Wezeman said.
"They increase the risks involved in and therefore the threshold for foreign military intervention like the NATO operation against the Gadhafi regime" in Libya, Wezeman said.
Syria has outstanding orders for 25 Russian MIG-29 combat aircraft, and in late 2011 Russia signed a $550 million deal for 36 Yak-130 light combat aircraft, he said, adding that questions remain about the timing of the deliveries and Syria's ability to pay for them.
"However, when delivered the combat aircraft would augment the Syrian military's capabilities to attack rebel positions if the conflict develops in a similar way as the conflict in e.g. Libya developed," Wezeman said in an email to The Associated Press.
The U.N. estimates that Assad's crackdown on the uprising against his regime that began a year ago has killed more than 8,000 people so far.
Syria's weapons imports rose 580 percent from the 2002-2006 period, lifting the country from No. 68 to 33 in the rankings of the world's arms importers, SIPRI said. Nineteen percent of Syria's arms imports came from Belarus and 9 percent from Iran, the report said.
Globally, the report showed conventional weapons transfers jumped 24 percent in 2007-2011, with the U.S. remaining the No. 1 weapons exporter, followed by Russia, Germany, France and Britain.
India, South Korea, Pakistan, China and Singapore were the five largest recipients of arms.
The Arab Spring had only a limited effect on global arms sales in 2011, even though it "provoked public and parliamentary debate in a number of supplier states," SIPRI said. It noted that Saudi Arabia's order last year of 154 F-15 combat aircraft from the U.S. was the largest arms deal in two decades.
The institute has developed its own indicator values to measure volumes of arms transfers. Its database includes major conventional weapons such as aircraft, armored vehicles, artillery, sensors, missiles, ships and air defense systems. Trucks, small arms, ammunition and most light weapons are not included.

I just heard another puff piece on Huntsman a few days ago on NPR. His daughters aren't the only ones shamelessly promoting him. Not that it's going to get him over 2% in the polls.

Pretty sad when a presidential candidate is reduced to this kind of stuff. Unless it starts to work of course.

Hey Carol
Would you trash an Orthodox Jew who wears a yarmulke? Or a crucifix necklace? What kind of underwear Huntsman wears ain't none of your bidness. Period. - 10/29/11, 1:24 PM

Well much like his positions and rhetoric it seems now his political commercials are cheesy PC/slightly left-leaning rip-offs of someone else's original idea.

This is not an add to get Huntsman elected.
It's an add that the wise ones, like Andrea Mitchell, Joe Scarborough, and John King can point to as an illustration as to how stupid Cain is, and how sophisticated Huntsman is-and how foolish "real" republicans are for not supporting his candidacy. - 10/29/11, 3:52 PM

So what!
Every Mormon is supporting the "Funny Underwear Man.
And, there's NO support in the Black ghettos for the "Pizza Guy."
1. Unfortunately, the Republicans are supporting the OTHER funny underwear guy, not Huntsman. Romney, BTW, has a canned line when the subject comes up: He does not wear magic underwear, but will not disclose "boxers or briefs". But Mormons are not as monolithic Republican as the Dem black vote. They contain a large democrat and moderate faction - the Huntsman, Udalls, and Reid types.
2. It is a recurring fallacy by older white conservatives completly disconnected to the black community that running a black or putting blacks in charge of the RNC, State etc.. - will peel away black votes.
It doesn't.
Blacks will vote for a white or half black candidate over a black Republican by 80-90% or more every time. They will vote for a black or half black Dem primary candidate over a liberal white or hispanic by 90%. - 10/29/11, 3:57 PM

Browndog said...
This is not an add to get Huntsman elected.
It's an ad(d) that the wise ones, like Andrea Mitchell, Joe Scarborough, and John King can point to as an illustration as to how stupid Cain is:
I don't think anyone has say Cain is stupid. Ignorant on many issues, well informed on certain things, with an awful 9-9-9 Plan.
The more you dig, though, the less impressed you are with both Cain and the dumb righwingers that tout him. An example is Herman being touted as a business genius over a true business genius - Romney - because Hermans genius was on "Main Street, not Wall Street". (As a current dumb rightwinger slogan goes).
1. Cain is 15 years outside an executive position.
2. He is a motivational speaker now like Alan Keyes who joined the Presidential contest to sell his books, get higher appearance fees, and maybe a TV show. He struck gold because so many dummies in the conservative movement use their "gut instinct" a la Dubya, not their brains.
3. Herman was let go by the Godfathers fast food chain for performance not up to expectations.
4. A Jay Raskin op-ed notes the reluctance of reporters to check up on Cain's record matches in some ways the "pass" Obama was given.
"Why does no reporter confront Cain about his poor management of Godfather's Pizza. Why do they buy the myth that he created, that he turned the company around?
What journalist would ever want to stick his neck out and appear racist to the progressive jewish bosses in the MSM media, right?:
Cain has released no earnings statements either during the time he was at Godfather's Pizza or since.
If we look at sales figures which are in the public record, sales at Godfather's Pizza, adjusted for inflation dropped over 40% from the year before he took over to his final years. It is hard to imagine that profits went up at this time. Godfather's Pizza fell from the 5th largest Pizza chain in sales when Cain took over to the 11th largest Pizza chain by the time he left the company 15 years later.
Romney's people know all of this, of course. But Cain is out wrecking the chances of Perry, eating up Perry votes and donors every day. The longer Cain gets a free pass and more dumb conservative rubes, the better for Romney. If Perry's people know it, which is doubtful, they are too stupid to use it, as poor dullard Perry is still convinced he is the frontrunner despite polls and those pesky debates - and focuses on Romney - not the hemorrhage Cain and his credulous fanbase is inflicting on him. - 10/29/11, 4:19 PM
- Partridge said...
I think this evidences a dumb sense of humor but also a good point -- why do anything if you can't have a little fun doing it? Especially if you know you can't really win. Cain was right, we do need a little bit of a sense of humor in the White House...I just hope it would involve something better than fake mustaches and blowing bubbles.
Actually, I quite liked the blowing bubbles part. Perhaps they could start a new event where people come to the White House and blow bubbles on the front lawn? Bubbles could be a great symbol for America -- freely blowing in the wind, wherever they want to go...and then promptly popping as soon as they fall.
Perhaps I've taken the bubble analogy too far. But then again, we seem to be dealing with them a lot these days and we ought to be used to it. - 10/29/11, 4:37 PM

To some extent that's accurate C4--diss Cain's 999 hype and yr a de facto klansman (noted on AA.as well). Unfortunate... and.. BS. But a similar reaction seems to occur with those who criticize Romney. Ie, the Mittster's accepted by the MSM--and raking in a ton of shekels from the likes of GoldmanSachs. Criticize MR, and yr a ..nazi or something (of course Merica doesn't know shit about the real history of the LDS). The MSM has already decided who the serious candidates will be.

Dem Black voters don't come here.
And, so far as I can tell, there's very little enthusiasm for any of the GOP candidates.
Was there enthusiasm for Sarah Palin? Yeah. Otherwise, you wouldn't know her name.
What's wrong with the GOP?
Well, they seem to have trouble fielding popular candidates. They certainly didn't with Dole. The Bush's were terrible! (And, now Karl Rove can't field Jeb Bush.)
While McCain was a pure disaster! He actually did worse than John Kerry!
Are Americans proud of our politicians? No.
Can Obama win in 2012? (Well, it's more like the GOP can lose.)
And, that's why the GOP leadership should NOT be "picking" the 8 who debate.
Those 8 have no traction.
What do people then do? They applaud the acts that are on the stage. For no reason at all. - 10/29/11, 10:35 PM

ADB hosted the third annual International Skills Development Forum. This followed two previous forums held in 2011 and 2012, which have helped to build a dialogue platform on skills development in the Asia Pacific region. The 2013 ADB International Skills Development Forum focused primarily on the themes of youth and technology in the context of skills development.
The 2013 ADB International Skills Development Forum aimed to:
- Focus on the issue of youth employment and the need to address education/skills and jobs mismatch through a call to action with concrete country level measures and initiatives for skills development and employment for youth.
- Explore not only how policy makers and training institutions can support youth better for skills and employment, but also to engage on how youth can themselves contribute constructively to engaging with skills development and the world of work by collaborating with the government and the private sector.
- Study the great potential to harness the power of technology to improve access to skills development for the youth.
- Examine the role that technology can play in transforming the pedagogy of teaching and training in a way that productively engages youth and enhances employability and workplace performance.
Target participants
Participation was by invitation only.
A group of 40 youth representatives from various Asia-Pacific countries attended a youth day on 9 December 2013.
Around 100-120 professionals who are leading experts and policy makers in the area of skills, training and workforce development participated on 10-12 December 2013.
Resource speakers
Convenor: Shanti Jagannathan, Senior Education Specialist, ADB

Thank heavens they said it first.
The Listener cover story this week asks why so many odd murders take place in Christchurch.
Statistically, Christchurch is about right: its murders are roughly in line with its share of the national population.
But there's something really creepy about so many of the murders in the Garden City - a creepiness at odds with its picture-perfect setting and First Four Ships mentality.
The latest victim of crime in Christchurch had her funeral at the city's Cathedral this week.
Close to 1000 people turned out to farewell Vanessa Pickering, prompting a call to my show from Christine, a Christchurch woman with beautifully modulated vowels, wanting to know why the Pickering family had been able to hold their daughter's funeral at the Cathedral.
It's a very special place, according to Christine, and one where only members of the congregation and important people should be able to have their ceremonies.
Christine's own mother-in-law had her final send-off there and Christine felt that having Vanessa Pickering's family there somehow - she trailed off.
"Are you saying a murdered girl wasn't special enough?" I asked incredulously.
"Yes," said Christine. "I suppose I am."
The murderer of Vanessa represents one side of the city; Christine represents another.
Thank heavens for the lovely Cantabs who occupy the middle ground who rang to berate Christine.
They give you hope that goodness will win out in the end.

Mozilla Responds to the EULA Controversy
At Mozilla's request, Ubuntu users are required to read an extensive End-User License Agreement (EULA) before they can use the Firefox browser. The head of the Mozilla Foundation, Mitchell Baker, has responded to the hefty criticism of this plan.
"We (meaning Mozilla) have shot ourselves in the foot," declares Mozilla Foundation's Mitchell Baker in the blog in response to the controversy. However, rather than address the license agreement bundling issue, the statement simply claims that the wrong version was used. Truly the content of the EULA had led many contributors to the Ubuntu mailing list to conclude that Mozilla Firefox was no longer free software.
Baker wants to correct this impression. She emphasizes that "yes, the content of the license agreement is wrong. The correct content is clear that the code is governed by FLOSS licenses, not the typical end user license agreement language that is in the current version." She sees this as a "giant error" that needs immediate correction.
Not only does Baker recognize the fundamental problem, she also sees the importance of how the license is presented and promises further dialogue and to address further concerns on the subject. Another matter is how the services relate to the software and that the FLOSS license should properly address this issue.
Baker once more deflects the fundamental criticism of whether users should even be concerned with the licensing by focusing on content: "Again, if we had the correct content I think this would be less of an issue because then we would be telling people about FLOSS licenses." During the course of the dialogue, many users had argued that Ubuntu should perhaps go with a different browser.
The result is that Mozilla Corporation's marketing has fairly much contradicted its corporate mission, to promote and market Mozilla Foundation's free browser. Baker ends her statement with "We take this very seriously and are working hard to fix it."

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A Philadelphia abortion doctor has been sentenced to a third life term for killing an aborted baby that he described as so big it could "walk to the bus."
Dr. Kermit Gosnell was convicted this week of first-degree murder in the deaths of three babies born alive, then stabbed with scissors. He was given two life sentences Tuesday in a deal with prosecutors that spares him a potential death sentence, and the third sentence was handed down Wednesday.
The 72-year-old Gosnell has also been sentenced to 2 ½ to five years in prison for the 2009 overdose death of a patient. The sentences are consecutive, meaning Gosnell will spend the rest of his life in prison.
The case has made him a flashpoint in the nation's debate over legalized abortion.

Long ago, on a really crappy Blogger platform, I gave birth to a blog.
It was called Five Amazing Minutes back then. And I was trying to write about capturing just five amazing minutes (duh) with my kids each day.
Only I started finding myself not really writing about the amazing stuff every day – or even about my kids every day. I discovered that I wanted to write about food. And the uber-annoying things my kids do. And technology. And blogging. And pop culture.
I was ready to write more seriously about ALL the things I love to write about. Oh and also? I was ready to get a book deal, TV show and live on a big ass ranch in Montana and be taken on all-expense paid trips to Disney World and Paris and maybe an African safari.
{I'm still ready for that, by the way. Ahem.}
Five Amazing Minutes was not going to cut it.
So two years ago this week, I moved Five Amazing Minutes to WordPress. I rebranded it KludgyMom, and while I've been blogging for four years this fall, it's that date in May 2010 where my blogging really began. That's the anniversary I'll be celebrating this coming week.
Every day as a blogger, I am given gifts – lovely gifts of support from you. A thoughtful comment, a retweet, a text from a blogging friend just to say hi, an email that says, "I loved your post today."
I've got two years worth of those gifts stored up in my heart that I treasure…and will continue to treasure each day.
I've realized that it takes two to blog.
Me. Plus You.
Me to write, and you to read.
So celebrating the anniversary of KludgyMom is really about celebrating us – me + you.
And it's time to go big.
Like, Oprah big.
Okay, fine, maybe not THAT big. But I am taking a page from her book – one called My Favorite Things.
Next week, I'll be kicking off a week-long extravaganza of giveaways of my favorite things. Most days, I'll have more than one giveaway. So don't get angry when your email or feed gets cluttered with posts from me…it's all REALLY good stuff!
Along the way, I'll be taking a look back at some of the related posts I've written, too – a little journey back through the KludgyMom archives. (I'll be too busy giving stuff away to write real posts).
Me + You = Win.
I'm not going to spoil the surprises just yet, but here's what you know about me.
I like technology. Wine. Blogging. Bright colors. Not looking ancient. Taking pictures of my kids. California. A Clean House. Jewelry and fashion. And there's more….
So get ready people…the My Favorite Things giveaway frenzy starts Sunday. I can't wait to celebrate with you. Have fun!!!

Moms with Teens
High School Bans Makeup for a Day So Our Daughters Can See How Beautiful They Are
Looking for a new holiday to celebrate? How about No Makeup Day? Yup, it's real. Even better, it was dreamed up by a bunch of teenage girls and celebrated at their high school last week.
You couldn't get me to go back to high school if you paid me a large sum of money and threw a few chocolate bars in to sweeten the pot. But something tells me I would have been pretty comfortable at New London High School. At least for a day.
The girls who created No Makeup Day and convinced their administrators to go through with it say it was a response to the pressure put on teenagers -- especially teen girls -- to be "perfect." They were hoping a day with no makeup would help remind their classmates that beauty is skin deep.
I'd like to wrap each of those girls in a big, fat hug.
I look at some of the teen girls walking around the mall, and I shudder. They look like they're preparing for a Vogue magazine shoot instead of shopping for a new pair of Uggs. The question is why they feel that much makeup and those kind of clothes are necessary. Is it society's pressure or their parents' failure to fight said pressure?
My daughter is only 7 and far too young for real makeup. But already I'm struggling with how to explain the concept of beauty to her without making her feel pressured to reach some impossible goal.
I look at her, and I see a beautiful girl (doesn't every mother?). But I know I will one day have to face her desire to use makeup, to dress fashionably (forget one day, we're already there!). The challenge isn't in whether or not to allow her to do so but in explaining that clothes and makeup are there to enhance beauty that already exists, not to "make" one beautiful.
I'm not saying No Makeup Day should be every day, although I'd like to see an event like this in every school in America at least once a year. Makeup and beautiful clothes aren't inherently bad, but our girls need to know how to use them appropriately in their lives.
Do you struggle with this with your daughter? Would you be up for a No Makeup Day?
My daughter and stepdaughters were big into hair and makeup and would have had a problem with it.
When I was in school I wouldn't have had a problem with it because I didn't wear makeup and in the morning I washed my hair put on a ball cap and flipped my pony tail through the back of it. I have always been me and never tried to be something I am not so makeup is only worn every now and then for a special occasion.

for all receivers without a UHF output
If you are buying a freesat receiver or a non Sky receiver without a UHF outlet, you will need this kit if
you want to distribute TV around the house with control in each room. (Cabling is needed).
The built in modulator converts the scart output of your receiver to UHF and the internal link is
a special TV eye system for non Sky receivers so that your handset has control in other rooms.
No freesat receiver has this built in and so it is an ideal addition. The UHF output can feed
an existing UHF distribution amplifier if watching TV in several rooms with control is required.
A TV eye is included but additional TV eyes can be added.
