How to Get on the Government's Short List
Justice Department: Constitutionalists, Anti New World Order Activists, and Survivalists are Potential Terrorists
Alex Thomas – The Justice Department is specifically attacking people who use their 1st amendment right to fight tyranny. This is absolutely disgusting. Is this Nazi America? I am an extremist for listening to the Bilderbergs stated goals and not accepting them?
If I am labeled an extremist for being against such horrible things as vaccines that kill children, world government, and the implementation of a total police state control grid, than i am proud of that label. The elite can demonize us as much as they please, it doesn't change the fact that we have their owns words and documents, which CLEARLY shows their plans for a one world government.
The authors of this document deserve about as much respect as a piece of trash on the ground.
It is a sad day in America when your government implies that the founding fathers were extremists and possible domestic terrorists. In times like this it is even more important to preach non violence. We are not extremists, we stand for freedom and liberty, the very principles that this country were founded upon.
Obama's Department of Justice Puts Out Master Patriot Hit-list
Kurt Nimmo
The Department of Justice has fired a salvo in the war against patriotic Americans supporting the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The DOJ has issued Investigating Terrorism and Criminal Extremism –Terms and Concepts, a 120-page propaganda addendum described as "a glossary designed primarily as a tool for criminal justice professionals to enhance their understanding of words relating to extremist terminology, phrases, activities, symbols, organizations, and selected names that they may encounter while conducting criminal investigations or prosecutions of members of extremist organizations."……
The DOJ is now apparently in the business of newspeak. In his dystopian novel on totalitarian government, Nineteen Eighty-Four, George Orwell introduced the term doublethink, from which the terms newspeak and doublethink were later derived. Newspeak has come to mean any attempt by the government to restrict or modify language. The DOJ, in an effort to further demonize a growing patriot movement, has attempted to redefine the word consitutionalist in true newspeak fashion.
The word constitutionalist is now shorthand for the sovereign citizen movement, in other words people who support the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are violent cop killers.
Department of Justice Lists Survivalists, Constitutionalists in Extremism Guide
A recent Department of Justice guide for investigators of criminal and extremist groups lists "constitutionalists" and "survivalists" alongside organizations like Al-Qaeda and the Aryan Brotherhood. The 120-page, "Law Enforcement Sensitive" guide to "Investigating Terrorism and Criminal Extremism – Terms and Concepts" describes itself as "a glossary designed primarily as a tool for criminal justice professionals to enhance their understanding of words relating to extremist terminology, phrases, activities, symbols, organizations, and selected names that they may encounter while conducting criminal investigations or prosecutions of members of extremist organizations."
Constitutionalist, defined by Random House's 2010 Dictionary as an "adherent or advocate of constitutionalism or of an existing constitution", is described in the report as a "generic term for members of the 'patriot' movement". Survivalists are described in the document as fearing a "coming collapse of civilization" and are trying to prepare themselves for this collapse. Such individuals are said to have "typically stockpiled food, water, and weapons, especially the latter, and instructed themselves on topics ranging from first aid to childbirth to edible plants".
The guide defines the term "New World Order" as being "used by conspiracy theorists to refer to a global conspiracy designed to implement worldwide socialism". The Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, and Council on Foreign Relations are described as organizations "targeted by right-wing extremists for conspiring to dominate the world". The guide also defines "One World Government" as the "concept that there will ultimately be a single governing body that will control the world", adding that "some right-wing extremists fear this occurring, believing that white people will be in the minority, with Jewish people ultimately controlling the world".
While the document's introduction does state that "the fact that an entry appears in this publication does not imply a connection to illegal activity", it goes on to say that the guide consists of "terms that may be germane to members of an extremist movement" or are "singularly employed by specific extremist groups". The obvious result of the inclusion of terms such as "Bilderberg Group" and "Trilateral Commission" in a report titled "Investigating Terrorism and Criminal Extremism" is that law enforcement officials unaware of these groups will tend to associate legitimate discussion as "extremist" speech. This diminishes the credibility of any person attempting to rationally discuss such groups and fosters a perception that any discussion of such groups could be associated with a supposedly "extremist" ideology.
Examples of "Extremist" Terminology
To see the full list please visit the U.S. Department of Justice Terrorism and Criminal Extremism Terms 2005-2009.
Black Helicopters: Unmarked dark helicopters allegedly observed by many members of the "patriot" movement, who claim that the helicopters are part of some vast conspiracy, perhaps involving the United Nations or the "New World Order." Various explanations have been offered for some of the sightings, but the term has since entered the popular vocabulary and is often used as a generic, sometimes satirical reference to conspiracy-related beliefs.
Bilderbergers (Bilderberg Group): Along with the Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations, one of the three groups targeted by right-wing extremists for conspiring to dominate the world.
Collection (of Information): The identification, location, and recording/storage of unanalyzed information, typically from an original source and using both human and technological means, for input into the intelligence cycle to determine its usefulness in meeting a defined tactical or strategic intelligence goal.
Concentration Camps: Detention camps supposedly being built or already built by the United States government, according to conspiracy theorists.
Constitutionalists: A generic term for members of the "patriot" movement. It is now often used to refer to members of the sovereign citizen or common law court movement. Sometimes the word "constitutionist" is also used.
Council on Foreign Relations (CFR ): Along with the Bilderbergers and the Trilateral Commission, one of the three key groups that conspiracy theorists claim operate behind the scenes to control the world and to establish the "New World Order."
Executive Orders: The formal means by which the President of the United States determines the conduct of business in the Executive Branch. Typically, such executive orders take two forms: (1) orders governing administrative or policy matters in Executive Branch agencies or (2) orders for which the authority is derived from congressional authorizations. The "patriot" movement, however, contends that executive orders are "presidential laws" that bypass Congress and subvert the Constitution.
Flag of Peace: The American flag preferred by the "patriot" movement; a red, white, and blue flag without any gold trim, braid, balls, tassels, eagles, fringe, or spear on the flag or pole. Patriots believe that any other American flag is a military flag that denotes military jurisdiction. Only under the "flag of peace" do U.S. citizens receive their constitutional rights and due process.
Globalization: This term generally refers to the denationalization of economies, markets, products, and populations brought about by ever faster travel, improved communications, and advances in technology.
Illuminati: An intellectual society and social club formed by a university professor, Adam Weishaupt (1748–1811), in southern Germany in the 1770s in the spirit of the Enlightenment. It was suppressed by Bavarian authorities in the 1780s. Weishaupt spent the rest of his life writing about the Illuminati. People who believe Illuminati conspiracy theories believe the society never died away but lived on, run by people intent on controlling the world through devious means.
Information Warfare: Synonymous with cyberwarfare, information warfare is the offensive and defensive use of information and information systems to deny, exploit, corrupt, or destroy an adversary's information, information-based processes, information systems, and computer-based networks while protecting one's own. Such actions are designed to achieve advantages over military or business adversaries.
Jack-Booted Thug (JBT ): A law enforcement officer (especially federal) draped in combat fatigues or other military or paramilitary uniform, wearing a ski mask or similar headgear guaranteeing anonymity, wielding powerful military weapons, and utilizing other military vehicles and gear.
New World Order: A term used by conspiracy theorists to refer to a global conspiracy designed to implement worldwide socialism.
One-World Government: The concept that there will ultimately be a single governing body that will control the world. Some right-wing extremists fear this occurring, believing that white people will be in the minority, with Jewish people ultimately controlling the world.
Open Source Information or Intelligence: Individual data, records, reports, and assessments that may shed light on an investigatory target or event and do not require any legal process or any type of clandestine collection techniques for a law enforcement agency to obtain. Such information is obtained through means that meet copyright and commercial requirements of vendors, as well as being free of legal restrictions to access by anyone who seeks that information.
Patriot Movement: The "patriot" movement is a general term used by its members to describe the collective movements and individuals on the extreme right wing. In one form or another, this practice dates back many decades; in the 1930s, many on the far right referred to themselves as "superpatriots." In the 1960s and 1970s, it was common to refer to the "Christian Patriot" movement, but this term is less common now than then. Among the types of individuals that can be found within the "patriot" movement are white supremacists, sovereign citizens, tax protesters, militia members, and sometimes antiabortion or anti-environmental groups.
Patriots for Profit: A term used to describe those individuals in the "patriot" movement who perpetrate scams and frauds against other people, usually fellow members of the movement. It also refers to people who attempt to make money by selling various products and "kits" to members of the movement. By far the most numerous of the "patriots for profit" are the people who cater to would-be tax protesters.
Pirate Radio: The operation of radio transmitters without a license from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Although some of the most notable pirate stations, such as Free Radio Berkeley, have been primarily left-wing in orientation, a large number of pirate stations adhere to right-wing or antigovernment philosophies.
Sovereign Citizen: A term used to describe adherents to a philosophy derived from the group Posse Comitatus that posits that there are two types of citizens: "Fourteenth Amendment Citizens," who are subject to the laws and taxes of the federal and state governments, and sovereign citizens, who are subject only to "the common law." Sovereign citizens claim that they have absolute mastery over all their property (including freedom from taxes, regulations, ordinances, or zoning restrictions), that they essentially do not have to pay taxes (aside from tariffs and a few other insignificant taxes), that they are not citizens of the United States but are "nonresident aliens" with respect to that "illegal corporation," that the only court which has jurisdiction to try them for any matter is a common law court, and that they can never be arrested or tried for a crime or matter in which there is no complaining victim, as well as various other notions. Typical signs that someone is a sovereign citizen include the use of punctuation between their middle and last names (i.e., John Wayne; Doe); a refusal to have a social security card or any paper, license, or document related to automobile ownership or driving; a refusal to use zip codes; and the displaying on various items—from envelopes to paper money, to time cards, or to forms—of the phrase "UCC 1-207," or variants thereof. Sovereign citizens are often also known as state citizens, freemen, preamble citizens, common law citizens, or other appellations.
Survivalists: The survivalist movement feared a coming collapse of civilization, generally as the result of nuclear war, and tried to prepare themselves to survive it. Survivalists typically stockpiled food, water, and weapons, especially the latter, and instructed themselves on topics ranging from first aid to childbirth to edible plants.
Tax-Protest Movement: A movement consisting of people who do not simply want to avoid paying taxes but generally claim they should not have to pay them. The right-wing movement started in the 1950s and 1960s and has concentrated on interpreting the Constitution, U.S. law, and the tax code, in particular, in such a way as to be able to claim that most people do not have to pay income taxes. The motivating force behind the right-wing tax-protest movement was to find loopholes, actual or manufactured, that would allow people to claim that they had no tax obligation.
Trilateral Commission: A group, along with the Bilderbergers and the Council on Foreign Relations, that is viewed by the "patriot" movement as being one of the major organizations seeking to implement the "New World Order." Formed in 1973 by David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski, the Trilateral Commission consists of slightly over 300 members from Europe, Japan, and North America (the three main democratic-industrial regions of the world, thus the term "trilateral"). Members include prominent figures in the media, politics, business, and academia. Conspiracy theorists claim it is a group of elitists determined to promote a one-world government.

Jesse Ventura Denied Ability to Have His Photo Taken at Eternal Flame of JFK
BP, Homeland Security, and Cops Work Together to Deny First Amendment
Kurt Nimmo
July 4, 2010
The father of fascism, Benito Mussolini, defined fascism as corporatism. "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power," said Mussolini.
ProPublica and PBS learned this lesson recently in Texas City. "A photographer taking pictures for ProPublica was detained Friday while shooting pictures in Texas City, Texas," reports Raw Story. "The photographer, Lance Rosenfield, said that shortly after arriving in town, he was confronted by a BP security officer, local police and a man who identified himself as an agent of the Department of Homeland Security. He was released after the police reviewed the pictures he had taken on Friday and recorded his date of birth, Social Security number and other personal information."
Rosenfield's information was also turned over to BP. It was described as standard procedure.
Michael Marr, a BP spokesman, released a statement explaining the company's actions. "BP Security followed the industry practice that is required by federal law. The photographer was released with his photographs after those photos were viewed by a representative of the Joint Terrorism Task Force who determined that the photographer's actions did not pose a threat to public safety."
BP, Homeland Security, the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force, and local cops will now decide if it is acceptable for journalists to take photographs.
"We certainly appreciate the need to secure the nation's refineries," said ProPublica after the incident. "But we're deeply troubled by BP's conduct here, especially when they knew we were working on deadline on critical stories about this very facility. And we see no reason why, if law enforcement needed to review the unpublished photographs, that should have included sharing them with a representative of a private company."
It looks like BP and its goon force (including federal agencies) knew ProPublica and PBS were working on a story. The incident had nothing to do with the security of refineries or public safety. It was about blocking a story a transnational corporation did not want published. This sort of thing happens in a corporatist-fascist state. It is not supposed to happen in a constitutional republic where the First Amendment and the Bill of Rights are respected.
First it was bloggers and citizen journalists who were harassed by the state and denied their First Amendment right. Now the foundation and non-profit media are falling victim to the heavy hand of the corporate-fascist state.
Late last week "National Incident" commander Thad Allen announced all media — print, television, radio and internet bloggers — will be subject to arrest and federal class D felony charges if they cover operation and clean up sites. In short, the government and BP have effectively shut down the First Amendment.

OXFORD, England – At the London Diamond League track meet July 13, ten of the 11 finishers in the men's mile run broke four minutes.
The only rare thing now about that time is how few chances elite international athletes get to run the mile these days, as the metric mile (1,500 meters) has become the standard distance in most big meets, including the Olympics.
But there still is a special feeling about the place where a runner first broke what seemed like the insurmountable barrier of the four-minute mile, even if the cinder track on which it occurred was long ago replaced by an all-weather surface, now called the Roger Bannister Track.
In classic British understatement, the only mementos I could find of Bannister's epic four laps around the old Iffley Road track on May 6, 1954 are tucked inside the Oxford University Sport building.
There are an enlarged version of a newspaper story, a photograph of Bannister straining at the finish, an explanation giving context to the achievement, the finishing post, a few of the cinders, and the bell that signaled the final lap. The stopwatch that recorded the final time, 3:59.4, was supposed to be in the display case with the other items but was missing, with no explanation.
On July 10, Bannister, 83, walked the Olympic flame past the Iffley Road finish line as part of the London 2012 torch relay. There has been considerable speculation as to whether he might be chosen to light the cauldron during Friday's opening ceremony.
Bannister was a medical student when he became the track and field version of Edmund Hillary, who had conquered Everest almost exactly a year earlier. Human beings were not supposed to be able to go where these two men had.
On Sunday, the first true summer afternoon of 2012 in England, a few students jogged around the track.
Bannister competed in the 1952 Olympics, finishing fourth in the 1,500 meters. He never won an Olympic medal.
The mile record now is 3:43.13.
As of June 8, the number of athletes who had run a sub-four mile was 1,252.
Yet Iffley Road will always be a landmark, site of a sports moment that is truly Olympian. When I stepped onto the track, now burnt red instead of ash gray, it still felt like hallowed ground.

The Basics of Coil Processing, Part 1: Unwinding the Coil
Modern coil-handling and feeding equipment has dramatically increased the efficiency and throughput of pressrooms around the world, as well as helped to eliminate the dangers and repetitiveness of hand feeding. Metalformers can select from among a variety of coil-feeding methods and types of equipment to accommodate their unique needs. When doing so, they must consider several parameters to ensure selecting a system that best meets the requirements of the application, including price, operating cost, coil weight, material type and thickness, feed length and speed requirements, material finish, floor-space availability and controls compatibility.
In this series of articles, we will discuss such basic operations as unwinding and straightening the coil, and feeding the press. Along the we will discuss the various types of equipment used for each process, helping to provide basic guidelines for investing in new coil-processing lines.
Fig. 1—A combination cradle/straightener unwinds the coil off of the top to a powered straightener and into a horizontal loop. Of the three coil-cradle configurations, this style requires the greatest amount of floor space due to the horizontal loop.
The focus of this article: The various approaches to coil unwinding— coil cradles (or coil boxes), centering reels and pallet decoilers. Look for part two later this year, where we will explore straightening options for coil lines.
Coil Cradles
Coil cradles hold a coil by the outside diameter, cradling it on powered rollers called nest rolls. This approach primarily finds use in medium- to heavy-gauge applications when material marking is not an issue. The cradle contains the coil within a box or framework that provides protection for the operator, by preventing the coil from telescoping. The outer wrap is contained between the weight of the coil and the nest roll as it unwinds, helping to prevent clockspring as well as controlling the coil for threading, particularly useful when feeding heavy-gauge or high-strength materials. However, this same feature also can cause problems with thin or cosmetically sensitive material, as it tends to mark or distort the sheetmetal.
A rule of thumb: Avoid use of coil cradles for processing material less than 0.06 in. thick.
Another disadvantage of the cradle-style unwinder is that it can operate inefficiently when rewinding and rebanding partially run coils. After running in a cradle for a period of time, the coil tends to clockspring internally and the wraps become loose, making it impossible to re-band into a nice, tight coil. Additionally, coil cannot be rebanded until it is lifted off and out of the nest rolls.
Fig. 2—The third type of cradle—a cradle-feeder straightener—unwinds, straightens and feeds directly into the press without the need for a slack loop, making it a very compact and self-contained coil-feeding system.
Manufacturers offer coil cradles in three basic configurations. A combination cradle/straightener (Fig. 1) unwinds the coil off of the top to a powered straightener and into a horizontal loop. Of the three configurations, this style requires the greatest amount of floor space due to the horizontal loop, but lends itself well to quick coil changes with the addition of a spare coil load ramp and an unobstructed rear loading area.
The inline style of coil cradle unwinds the coil from the bottom into a vertical or overhead loop. This space-saving design creates a loop area that does not consume as much floor space as the combination configuration, although it can require substantial vertical height. Inline coil cradles are available with only a pair of pinch rolls to assist in peeling the material off of the coil, or they can incorporate a powered straightener. Basic models for small coils pay off directly from the nest rollers without the aid of pinch rolls or a straightener.
The inline design proves particularly useful for threading heavy-gauge material, since the leading edge of the coil enters the pinch rolls close to the nest rolls. A disadvantage of this style: Access to the nest rolls typically is blocked, requiring coil loading from the top with an overhead crane or lift truck.
Fig. 3—Nonpowered reels, also known as pull-off reels, typically feature only a small fixed-speed threading drive or, in some cases with smaller coils or light gauge material, no drive at all.
The third type of cradle—a cradle-feeder straightener (CFS)—unwinds, straightens and feeds directly into the press without the need for a slack loop, making it a very compact and self-contained coil-feeding system (Fig. 2). A CFS typically receives power from one or more closed-loop servo drives, and pays off from the bottom or top of the coil. This style provides the same advantages as the inline style, but allows the use of a loading ramp for quick coil changes. Because this style requires that coil feeding start and stop in unison with the feed motion, a CFS requires significantly more horsepower than the other cradle styles, which feed into a slack loop and unwind in a continuous operation.
Due to the vastly increased load, a CFS typically is limited to slower-speed applications, and may prove more costly than the other cradle styles due to the use of high-power servo drives. Additionally, the CFS concept generally is not recommended for use with long progressive dies, since a CFS does not allow for an effective pilot release unless the entire straightener bank is piloted.
Centering/Horizontal Reels
The second type of coil unwinder, known as a centering or horizontal reel, is the most common and versatile used by metalformers. These setups hold the coil by its inside diameter over an expanding arbor assembly that grips the coil's inside diameter. Reels prove ideal for light- to medium-gauge material or for nonmarking applications, since their designs avoid contact with the outer wraps of the material as it unwinds. However, reels also can be used for heavy-gauge or high-strength materials if outfitted with the necessary equipment to safely contain coil clockspring and assist the threading operation.
Fig. 4—The double-ended coil reel features two mandrels facing in opposite directions, with a rotating head. This style suits applications requiring quick coil changes.
Coil reels come in powered and nonpowered versions. Powered reels—motorized with a loop control for payoff into a slack loop—find use in applications that don't require straightening, although they also can be used with a pull-through straightener powered by a feeder at the press.
Nonpowered reels, also known as pull-off reels (Fig. 3), typically feature only a small fixed-speed threading drive or, in some cases with smaller coils or light gauge material, no drive at all. Pull-off reels rely on a power straightener or a set of pinch rolls to pull the material off of the coil during automatic operation. These reels typically feature a drag-tensioning device to maintain back tension, preventing loop slack and material distortion.
Reels come in numerous configurations, the most common being a single-mandrel cantilevered style. These typically are offered in capacities from 500 to 60,000 lb., in widths to 78 in. Metalformers can opt for stationary or traveling models—a traveling reel can quickly be repositioned upon detection of misalignment.
Another version of the coil-reel concept is the double-ended version (Fig. 4), featuring two mandrels facing in opposite directions, with a rotating head. This style suits applications requiring quick coil changes, since the empty mandrel can be reloaded with a fresh coil while the other mandrel runs. With the addition of dual-holddown arms, double-ended reels also gain favor for running partial coils.
Yet another option is the dual-cone or double-stub-arbor version, typically used only for very wide coils or for heavy coils with small inside diameters. Here, a mandrel is inserted into both ends of the coil for support. This style, however, can carry a high purchase price, as the metalformer basically must purchase two complete traveling-reel assemblies with stubby mandrels.
Pallet Decoiler/Pan Reel
The third type of unwinder is the pallet decoiler, or pan reel. This style typically finds use only with coils of narrow, light-gauge materials. Using this style, the metalformer lays the coils on their sides and stacks them on a pallet placed on a motorized turntable for unwinding. The top coil runs first and when complete, the next coil in the stack can immediately be threaded without actually having to load a coil. The range of material width and thickness is limited, since the strip must make the transition from vertical to horizontal as it unwinds.Advantages of this style include its efficiency in terms of run time between reloading, minimal floor-space requirements and fairly low purchase price. Pallet decoilers often get the call in applications where straightening is not required or in conjunction with a free-standing powered straightener or a pull-through straightener at the feed. MF

We start the final ride
All season long we talk about the long haul and the grind of the season. Buffalo starts a two stop tour for the final four games of the year, opening tonight against playoff bound Pawtucket and then closing against rival Rochester.
Travis Hafner is not in the lineup tonight but he will be tomorrow. Josh Barfield will hit as the DH in his return-to-play program. Victor Martinez is back with the Tribe tonight, ending his assignment with the Herd. To allow room for Martinez on the roster the Indians designated INF ANDY GONZALEZ for assignment.
Martinez has been on the disabled list since June 12 and underwent surgery on his right elbow the following day. He began a 20-day rehab assignment on August 15 and appeared in 8 games at AA Akron and AAA Buffalo (.308, 8-26, HR, 3RBI) before today's activation. Martinez hit .278 (55-198) with 11 doubles & 21 RBI in 54 games (.333SLG, .332 on-base) prior to going on the DL in June. It marked his second career stint on the Major League DL, his first since the 2003 season.
Gonzalez has been with the Indians since July 26 and appeared in 10 games (5-24, .208)
TODAY'S GAME: Tonight, the Buffalo Bisons take on the Pawtucket Red Sox in the first game of a two-game series from McCoy Stadium (7:05 p.m.). This is the start of the final four-game roadtrip of the season for the Herd. On Sunday, the team will travel to Rochester for a two-game set with the Red Wings to conclude the 2008 season. On the mound today for Buffalo will be LHP Scott Lewis. In just his third Triple-A start, the southpaw threw a complete game in a 2-0 loss in Scranton/Wilkes-Bare on Sunday. The Red Sox will counter with RHP Charlie Zink.
TODAY'S STARTER: Scott Lewis
-Last Game: 8/24 @SWB: (L, CG, 8.0IP, 6H, 2R, 2ER, 8K), Bisons' 2-0 loss.
-2008 w / Bisons: (1-2, 3.50ERA)(3GS, 1CG, 18.0IP, 17H, 8R, 7ER, 4BB, 15K)

DANZIG Causes Fun Fun Fun Fest Concertgoers To Not Have Fun Fun Fun
Last night's headliner, Danzig and Friends, decided to cut the set short after about two Misfits songs because the diva himself had a cold. I'll let festival organizer take it from here.
""Hi. I book the fest. Those that are hating could NOT be more wrong. Yes, someone has your money and ripped you off. His name is Glenn. Stop by his house in LA with some kitty litter in trade for your refund, but we still had to pay him and he didn't deserve it after what he pulled. Here is how it went down…check the timeline:
-Glenn flies in this morning and says he has a cold and doesn't want feel like playing the show. he demands french onion soup and vitamins brought to his hotel suite. He wants to soup now and wants it hot. we get it.
-Glenn says it's freezing in Austin and he can't go on. says it's going to be 28 degrees tonight and he won't perform (keep in mind, it's currently 71 and sunny with a night forecast of maybe 50+). He says we have to move the show/festival inside if we want him to play (obviously, that's not possible).
-We rent stage heaters (no other bands, Public Enemy, MCD, Passion Pit, etc need or want heaters on stage...it's warm up there and not cold out) for Glenn per demand, as well as bring in an onsite doctor to make him happy and be there if his cold doesn't go away.
-Agents and Managers assure us he's going to play now.
-Glenn's band/crew arrive before him in the afternoon and load gear. They said it all works, they get up the Danzig banner, check lights, are happy.
-Glenn arrives at 7:45 (half hour before showtime, they go on at 8:15 exactly and have a 90 min set...park curfew by the city/police is 10pm sharp)...when he arrives, he says he's not going to play. (He) Says he doesn't like how the banners are hung on stage and doesn't like the lighting or stage size (all this was advanced in email and phone well in advance and the band/crew loaded in mid day and were happy with it and said it would work...stage wasn't small at all). He wouldn't leave his trailer to go look at the stage, though, so the lighting company drew up specs for him to look at of the stage lighting 50 feet from his trailer and brought it to him to look over and prove him wrong.
-In the meantime, Glenn's bodyguard gets pushy (literally) with Murder City Devils manager and tells them they can't have their friends watch MCD from stage and wants them to cut their set. (Then) kicks them off stage and gets physical with the band and stafff....oh, also Danzig says he's just as big as Slayer and Slayer is playing a bigger stage on Sunday and that's bullshit and wants to play the same stage slayer is playing...or won't play. makes him look bad.
-It's now 8:15 and time for them to go on. The band is ready, corpse make ups done, guitars tunes. Glenn says he's not playing and that it's too cold outside. he said big stages should have windscreen so wind can't blow on him from the side. The stage managers then goes and gets tarps and tarp the entire side of the stage so now wind will hit him.
-It's now 8:40. we explain that it's cutting into the set and he's going to have cut the 90 min set if he doesn't play soon, as park curfew is 10. He says he doesn't feel like playing. says "I got a death bug. if i go on stage and get sick, I'll die. I'm not getting sicker for this show" (NOTE: he totally looks and seems fine...no coughing, no paleness, no vomiting, just some balding and a gut, from what i can tell). We get the Dr. and he says he can do a b12 shot or anything he needs if he feels bad...Danzig says he only treats illnesses naturally, so won't do that. We finally get him to agree to play and have already informed his crew that it's only 60 mins (9pm at this point) and they start cutting some songs from the set list, so they can still do Misfits, but obviously didn't cut enough.
-They went on almost and hour late due to the HANDS DOWN biggest rock star moment we've ever dealt with and then he tries to start a riot and blames the fest, the city, the cops and everyone, but himself. goes backstage and tries to fight a few ppl and get in the van and leaves.
The end.... we're bummed to. we wanted to hear Skulls."

I totally get that Make Up For Ever is an amazing brand although I wouldn't say that the range is without its disappointments – for me anyway.
I purchased the Face and Body Foundation because I had this weird idea that I'd get a beach holiday this year. I can keep wishing. So I just had to have a waterproof foundation, which is what MUFE's base is.
This was the haul I made in its entirety by the way – everything here is waterproof (I will review the concealer and aqua creams later):
They say:
This waterproof, ultra-light, water-based gel contains no emulsifiers and provides a totally natural, satin finish. Ideal for normal skin-types as well as for fine lines and large pores. Gives skin a uniform tone without accentuating imperfections
Coming in a glass jar, Make Up For Ever's Face and Body Liquid Make Up gives you 50ml for £27. Its a light texture – its almost a bit jelly like, gives a sheer but buildable coverage and is….waterproof!
I know, I keep going on about it….
I was particularly interested in this because I have MAC's Face and Body Foundation which is also very sheer. I like MAC's offering but its no where near enough coverage for my face – works nicely for other parts of the body though, say if you are having photos taken and want completely even skin.
Here is the texture of the foundation – its like jelly:
I got Honey Beige – no 34. I guessed my shade and I got lucky! This is great for my NC35-40 skintone and its got a yellow base to it. Its so sheer anyway, that you can work with it.
Here it is on my skin – I though I'd used too much because a big lump of jelly foundation fell out bit it was fine – it sinks in super quickly and dries on the skin leaving a soft, semi matte finish on me.
It was sheer. I dabbed on a second light layer and voila – my skin looked great. Natural and quite real – not flawless, but real. A great every day and summer foundation, no doubt.
On my face – you can see there is redness and I am guessing some concealer would sort out out properly but we are talking about something that is very quick to use and fresh.
I like it a lot! I am drowning under foundations here, but this one is quite special – a unique texture, light, feels kind on the skin and will last all day. Will be my summer foundation for surez.

TV legends Richard and Judy claim Susanna Reid won't be able to save ITV's breakfast programming and feel the problem lies in the format of the show and not the presenters.
Susanna Reid won't save ITV's breakfast programming, according to Richard and Judy.
The famous TV couple, best known for hosting 'This Morning', say no amount of talent change will save ITV's troubled morning slot and feel the problem lies within the format itself, and not the presenters or the name of the show.
Susanna, 43, is set to jump ship from 'BBC Breakfast' next month to front ITV's new programme 'Good Morning Britain', which will replace 'Daybreak'.
Judy Finnigan told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Will 'Daybreak' survive? I don't think it is to do with celebrities or the presenters. I think it is about the programme, which either works or it doesn't. I don't understand it. It is a mystery."
Judy's husband Richard Madeley added: "Will Susanna save it? That is a huge burden to put on any presenter's shoulders. Nobody understands it. It is like a best selling book. Everybody thinks they know the formula and there isn't one."
Susanna has signed a massive £500,000 deal to join ITV, but Richard has warned that bosses will need "patience" if they expect long-term success for 'Good Morning Britain'.
He said: "You need patience to get it right and confidence that you know what you are doing. Susanna knows what she is doing. I think they will change the format and good luck to them as it is hard."

PENN >> School is not open yet, but student athletes are already getting ready for the fall season with practices and training camps.
As they do, the Avon Grove School Board is starting work on changing district Policy 123 on Interscholastic Athletics.
At the August 14 meeting, the school board approved a waiver to a portion of the school policy on student athletics to allow the athletic director to reschedule games or practises to Sunday without getting board approval first.
"Particularly last year, with the hard winter, a number of games and practices had to be rescheduled," explained Superintendent Michael Marchese for the change.
One question from the audience asked if a student missing a practice or game on a Sunday for religious reasons would be treated the same as missing a game or practice during the week.
"It would be handled in the same manner if a student missed school for religious reasons, they would not be penalized," Marchese said.
The district is looking to modernize other policies as well.
Among them is a revision that addresses video surveillance. For the new school year, there will video cameras on the school buses.
"This is to address the potential bullying area and I think it's very important we do this to bring us up to snuff," board member William Sites said.
A number of other security upgrades have been made during the summer, including fencing around the modular classrooms at Avon Grove High School and Fred S. Engle Middle School.
In other business the board announced the completion of a contract between the district and the Avon Grove Support Professionals Association. The group represents approximately 120 instructional aides, cafeteria workers, maintenance workers and food service personnel. The new one year contract includes a 2.3 percent wage increase but does not make any changes to health benefits.

How Were the Bread Pudding Cupcakes?
The Bread Pudding Cupcake Recipe
As noted above, I got the bread pudding cupcake recipe from Chockylit. I have reprinted it below with my notes.
Bread Pudding Cupcakes With Lots of Chocolate
- 3 C heavy cream
- 1 C milk
- 2 t vanilla
- 1/4 C cocoa powder
- 1 lb loaf dense white bread 1 or 2 days old (I used French bread)
- 10 oz dark chocolate chopped
- 8 large egg yolks
- 3/4 C sugar
- Chopped toffee to taste (I made my own using this toffee recipe and used about 1 1/2 C)
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk together the cream, milk, vanilla, and cocoa.
- Bring to a boil, stirring.
- Remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 30 minutes.
- Chop bread into 1/2″ cubes. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
- Bring mixture back to boil and stir in chopped chocolate.
- Take off the heat and continue to stir until chocolate is melted.
- Whisk together the egg yolks and sugar in a medium-sized bowl.
- Slowly add the warm chocolate mixture, whisking constantly until combined.
- Pour the mixture carefully over the bread cubes.
- Stir until all cubes are covered.
- Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 15 minutes.
- Mix in as much toffee as you'd like. I made sure that there were a few small pieces in each cupcake.
- Stir to combine.
- Scoop soaked bread cubes into cupcake liners until bread cubes are level with the top of the rim.
- Carefully pour the remaining liquid into each cupcake, filling until nearly full.
- Bake at 350 F for about 22 minutes or until set.
The Frosting
I topped the bread pudding cupcakes with brewed chocolate frosting. It went perfectly!
