This seems a lot more in keeping with Godreah's views. I've actually released music on this label with the group Old Corpse Road, including a split release with Meads of Asphodel. While I can't really speak for Meads I'd say we've often been lumped with the "Heritage" BM label, which on the face of it is quite accurate since OCR's songs focus primarily on the folklore of the British Isles, however musically we were intentionally apolitical. Many other bands currently on the scene seem to take this stance musically, although the strange thing I've found little evidence of online, but a huge abundance in the scene itself, is in fact that a large proportion of the people in the current scene are actually very left wing. That includes most of my (now-ex) band. There's definitely a few racists about but they are actually kind of both "oldschool" black metal and often older, but simultaneously almost outsiders to the scene at large when their politics come into play. Weirdly there's not a lot of conflict at gigs mind, because there seems to be a level of tolerance for a wide range of views, and that includes listening to bands with very differing politics. In public the newer members of the scene almost unanimously shy away from politics altogether but when you know most of their key members on social media you are left with very little doubt as to their political stances.
In the past few years I also think mainstream UK politics has become more and more right wing, so perhaps this "loony left" stance as the Mail likes to put it is considered more counter-culture here these days.

That interested me because I enjoy when two words cross and those are two starkly different musical worlds (one being psychedelic and colorful and the other being cold and full of black and white imagery). I obviously wish Meads of Asphodal wasn't involved with a label that put out NSBM. I asked Alan Davey and he said that he personally has no Nazi connections, which makes sense since his world isn't black metal let alone NSBM. So I figure he was just like a studio bassist for them even though he's listed an official member of the group. Either way, I wish they just kinda didn't get involved on labels at that put that stuff out. What's the point?

funny, isn't it, how all the pagan, slavic, aryan symbols that musicians like to use turn out to be exactly the same ones that the Nazis preferred. I mean, the coincidence gets a bit boring after a while. Also, they use the symbols for the same reasons the Nazis did, referring to the same underlying ideas, so this does not really separate them from the Nazis but points to what they have in common.

It's like claiming that the musicians like to dress up in Nazi fatigues, not because the Nazis wore them but because they really, really like Hugo Boss suits, and it's just a coincidence that the Nazis liked Hugo Boss suits as well.

I don't want to tar the whole genre with the same brush, after all it has roots in Black American music, but I've been hearing here in upstate New York there's been nazis showing up at rockabilly-oriented shows at various clubs, which raised a few alarms with club security lately.LJPhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153828087852527141.post-22970602807167870252013-01-08T14:40:58.284+00:002013-01-08T14:40:58.284+00:00plan scam, you haven't seen or experienced not...plan scam, you haven't seen or experienced nothing compared to the '90s metal scene in Upstate NY, as I mentioned earlier here.

Godreah has always supported freedom of speech in its purest form and as such the likes of Anti Christian, NSBM, and on occasions music made by total lunatics will be found in the catalogue. Godreah does not support political views of the aforementioned nature.

To those idiots who moan about NSBM, i say this : Without such movements the past would be Inevitably forgotten and lessons from specific ages of human history lost from memory. NSBM can serve as a reminder to both sides of a very controversial coin. If you are still croaking in your self righteous...., go and save a third world nation, or resurrect the equally sensitive issues but no less critical, of the Armenian Genocide, or the destruction of the north American Indians by the white man, or even the Irish Potato famines of 1845-49, a British genocide?

Metatron from the Meads of Asphodel has this to say on the subject,

'NSBM, has obvious grievances towards the Jews, hence its fascist Nazi imagery and stark one dimensional theology. Most NSBM owes much to cultural independence rather than blatant anti Semitism, but this very real and for most, disturbing genre is not necessarily [although by nature] aligned directly to the all consuming aura of Hitler.

Anti-Semitism at its root form is rooted to the early Roman Church, itself an extension of the Roman Empire, both subversive institutions of conversion by persuasion. The Romans levelled Jerusalem in 70BC, killing around a million Jews from a population of three million. With the Roman Empire in decline, its transformation into the Holy Roman Empire through the adopted Judaic cult of Jesus [eventually stripped of all its Judaism] was the next crucial factor in our perceptions of anti-Semitism today. The growth of early Christianity depended on its sellable nature to a Pagan Roman Audience; hence the blame for their Gods death [Jesus] could not be pointed towards a Roman [Pontius Pilate]. The blame was therefore placed firmly on the Jews, and Anti-Semitism was truly born. The Christian religion, already based on debatable foundations grew at an astonishing rate, consuming half the globe, and dragging its dark anti-Semitic guilt with it. The Jews were bundled in groups and ghettos throughout Europe, their main source of survival money lending and their drive to succeed gained wealth and business attributes worldwide. This was the bane of German Fascism, a twisted excuse to drag a nation into the bowels of war.

The whole Jewish question during Hitler's reign is one of the Holocaust, indiscriminate extermination, and calculated cruelty. The systematic destruction of a race had no name at the time, so one was invented for it, Genocide. Whether you accept History's stark truth of gas chambers and deliberate mass murder, or take the revisionist view, [that it never occurred] is neither there nor there. What is important is the freedom to discus without prejudice individual views, and NSBM is a medium for a minority to express those views. It is your choice whether to listen ,but to silence this view is to become the very beast you attempt to muzzle.Llanfaeshttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153828087852527141.post-79283810802595856712011-09-08T12:53:07.199+00:002011-09-08T12:53:07.199+00:00What was their statement?What was their statement?Fat Ladhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153828087852527141.post-89270428058041898852011-09-08T12:47:13.320+00:002011-09-08T12:47:13.320+00:00www.whomakesthecatholics.com - The Pope's Cath...www.whomakesthecatholics.com - The Pope's Catholic's Connections Exposed!

I would be the first to concede that I am not a journalist.

I was however, working in the business at the time.

Firstly, It is actually Mayhem after the death of Euronymous that I would consider to be NS.
Drummer Jan Axel "Hellhammer" Blomberg spoke out against race mixing and foreigners in Norway in Ablaze Magazine #6 from September/Oktober 1995. He has also advocated violence against homosexuals. Michael Moynihan's Lords of Chaos, quotes him as saying, "I'll put it this way, we don't like black people here. Black metal is for white people. I'm pretty convinced that there are differences between races as well as everything else. I think that like animals, some races are more… you know, like a cat is much more intelligent than a bird or a cow, or even a dog, and I think that's also the case with different races." He has, like most other LOC interviewees since denied this, but considering he has made similar remarks elsewhere it would fair to assume the quote is genuine.

In the February 1996 issue of Spin magazine Darcey Steinke's piece "Satan's Cheerleaders" reads "The band Mayhem used to practice here in a room framed by puke stained carpet below and swastika flags tacked overhead".

The Mayhem Legion Norg long sleeve shirt from 1997 features a Totenkopf on each sleeve and the Nasjonal Samling symbol on the back. The short sleeve version just has the rear NS print.

Mind you, if we are going to rely on the varying accounts given by Virkernes then according to at least one of them Euronymous had begun to embrace NS in the months before his murder (although admittedly I am struggling to find that reference now).

Whilst I agree that Emperor are not outwardly political, dual actions between band members and Vikernes, Samoth's side-project Zyklon-B, the fact that although the account Faust gave at his trial was that he murdered Andreassen because he propositioned him, evidence showed that he purposely lured his victim far into the woods, making it without doubt a hate crime and possibly more coldly premeditated than Virkernes' shows a certain unity in ideology between Emperor members and NSBM bands in general. Please note that I called the murder homophobic not Nazi. So, yes, I may have made a leap there (in actuality it was in an attempt to illustrate how much this type of music sells) but maybe not a very big one I think. If it looks like a Nazi and acts like a Nazi around other Nazis, it's pretty much definitely a Nazi, but then that's just my opinion.

As for "throwing in tabloid scraps", well, this is as you say an insular microgenre of music and those that know about its background are in the minority, so I think for the rest a some amount of scene-setting is not out of place, after all, the tabloid grabbing actions by band members are what helped propel Black Metal and with it NSBM into international awareness and keep it there to this day.

And yes you're correct of course, Mayhem were not Vikernes original band, he formed Kalasnikov/Uruk Hai in the late Eighties and Mayhem came together in 1984. What I should have said is that Mayhem were the band in which he originally became well known.Llanfaeshttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153828087852527141.post-51818383250636102732011-09-06T06:14:58.592+00:002011-09-06T06:14:58.592+00:00why posit or suggest that Emperor and Mayhem are i...why posit or suggest that Emperor and Mayhem are in any way NSBM bands when neither are or ever were? the author of this post is far too versed in the subculture to make this mistake unintentionally...how disappointing that when the topic of NSBM is finally and necessarily covered on here, it is done to such a low standard of journalism...even the most casual student of the genre's history knows that Mayhem is not "Vikernes' original band" - already having started his Burzum project, he briefly played session bass in Mayhem before falling out with Euronymous, the actual bandleader. By Vikernes' own accusations, Euronymous was a homosexual and a Communist, hardly qualifying Mayhem for any NSBM legacy. And who fucking cares if they bring human remains onstage - they're a black metal band! Is Tipper Gore around?

The thing that makes grey area difficult here is that NSBM is an insular microgenre of self-professed racists - and yes, surprise, they are actually racist. I don't understand the offhand implication that Emperor and Mayhem - two completely apolitical bands that are metal superstars now on the order of Iron Maiden - are fellow travelers. Is it because they came from the same scene as, and even fraternized with, the teenage Vikernes? The author of this post states that Vikernes' racist nationalism was a later development and involved a revision of his younger Satanism...detailing the church burnings that Vikernes and other Norwegian scenesters carried out is a sensationalistic distraction from the point of this post, as these crimes were acts of religious rebellion completely devoid of any racist content. Bard Eithun didn't claim a political motivation for the killing he carried out or tie it to Emperor in any way - he went to prison and the band has functioned without his involvement for most of their career now.

this post gives some interesting detail about some more obscure figures, but aside from roll-calling NSBM bands and labels and reminding everyone what the unsavory nature of National Socialism is, I fail to see what dialogue it invites...and why waste everyone's time throwing in tabloid scraps about how nasty black metal is more generally?

Sources might be nice, too.Khttps://email@example.com

If you are concered about Chinese Candy
Recall after recall, not everything made in China is safe. But we do guarantee the safety of what we sell. After review of our products, most of our candy is made in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, all of whom has had no problems. Our American Ginseng candy is made in California, and that leave White Rabbits, which are of high reputation. On top of that, they are distributed to over 50 countries worldwide, and American imports are closely monitored by QFCO, inc. of California, the American distibutor of the candy. As part of our quality monitoring, we sample our candy a week in advance before making it available to you. I never had a problem. So enjoy!

Shared from her mother, Taylor Krystine Frady.
Angel Isabella Frady (June 25, 2014 – October 5, 2014).
She passed away 2 weeks after receiving the 2 month vaccines. Her autopsy report did not mention the vaccines even though she still had some redness on both of her legs, at the injection sites. Ruled Undetermined.
However, the coroner said this is a typical SIDS case but he stated he couldn't put SIDS as the cause of death. It's listed as a side effect to certain vaccines. The report also stated she had the beginning stages of pneumonia in her lungs.
"I was a first time mom and I didn't know vaccinating was an option.
I took my healthy daughter Angel in for her 2 month check-up, she was just over 2 ½ months old. We didn't delay the vaccines on purpose, we just didn't have a car at the time she turned 2 months old.
During this visit, she was given 8 vaccines (DTaP, IPV, Hib, Hep B, Pneumococcal and the oral Rotavirus vaccine). As stated other places, these are the current vaccines on the schedule given routinely to 2 month old babies in the US.
All 8 vaccines were given within 3 injections and 1 oral vaccine. The DTaP, IPV, Hib vaccine is a 5 in 1 combo shot.
After the doctor's visit, Angel became fussy more than normal and had a slight fever. Her legs were red and irritated. The shots given in her legs caused redness that turned into bruises, at the injection sites… I was told these were just normal reactions. Two weeks after that, my world crashed. My heart broke into a million pieces.
My mother woke up and went to fix her a bottle, that's when we found her laying there. She performed CPR on her and we called the ambulance. They worked on her for 2 hours but she was gone. She was in perfect health, she was my little angel. She received her angel wings on October 5, 2014, exactly 2 weeks after being vaccinated.
Initially, soon after she passed, I received a call from the coroner and was told what I already knew, that there were no drugs in her system!! Of course not!! But the vaccines were ignored. It seems they don't count. Angel's death was initially reported as either an accidental death or a natural death and deemed SIDS! The coroner did not admit the vaccines played a role in her death.
Today, January 2, 2015 we received the autopsy report back on our precious Angel Isabella Frady.
The official cause of death was ruled UNDETERMINED, but the coroner whom I recently had a conversation with, he said SIDS, but that he couldn't put SIDS as the cause. He did not give me a clear reason why. It's likely because SIDS is listed as a side effect from some vaccines. The report also stated she had the beginning stages of pneumonia in her lungs.
I strongly believe that the vaccines had a lot to do with my daughters passing… I hate vaccines, they killed my precious Angel.
No one should let these sick doctors, this government, put poison into our babies little bodies. If I had known that vaccines would hurt my daughter, I would have never let her get them, but she did… and now she is gone…She was cremated. Her ashes are with me.
I also started a page for my daughter. Remembering Angel Isabella Frady.
Please…. Do your research on vaccines before you have a child. I learned the hard way. We don't need or want any more precious children, babies, even adults, becoming sick or dying because of the vaccines. She was not worth anything to those responsible.
I have still not decided if I want to pursue filing a vaccine injury claim because so many are turned away and it's a hassle. It's hard enough dealing with the loss of your child and then to face being denied the true cause of their death.
This little angel brought sunshine and joy into our lives, for 3 months and 5 days. She will never be forgotten. She will always be missed and loved until the day comes, when we are reunited.
I like to think she's blissful and she is at peace and she will never have to know one ounce of pain or sadness, all she knew while she was here was love.
Unless she was hungry, she was never fussy, she was never sick. And now she is in heaven with her father getting more love than we could imagine, along with all the other beautiful angels. A perfectly healthy baby doesn't go to heaven for no reason. I believe it was the vaccines, SIDS is a cover-up.
Your Mommy who will Love You Forever,
~ Taylor Krystine Frady

Vam Solutions — fake placement/consultancy
GGanesh Khandekar
Vam solutions in dreams mall bhandup west is a fake placement. They take training fees of Rs. 550/- and bring some freelancers for training candidates. Also they say they have sent SMS for job interviews but the SMS doesn't comes. Also they say they called you from a landline number for job details and interview schedule but they never call. The lady on the helpline speaks abusive languages and hangs up the call. So I request each and every candidate not to register in Vam solutions also don't pay for any job

News Releases October 18, 2017
John Deere Expands Commercial Zero-Turn Radius Mower Lineup
Higher horsepower EFI means increased performance for latest commercial zero-turn mowers
CARY, N.C. (October 18, 2017) — Remaining in touch with the evolving needs of professional landscape contractors, John Deere announces the addition of two new commercial zero-turn radius mowers. The ZTrak™ Z945M and ZTrak Z955M models offer professionals Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) engines with higher horsepower for increased fuel efficiency and power in varied mowing conditions.
The Z945M, featuring a 27 HP (20.1 kW), 824 cc EFI engine, and the Z955M, featuring a 29 HP (21.6 kW), 824 cc EFI engine, are available with multiple deck offerings – 60-inch (152.4 cm) side discharge or 60-inch (152.4 cm) Mulch On Demand™ (MOD) is available on both models, and a 72-inch (182.8 cm) side discharge is also available on the Z955M. The increased horsepower makes quicker work of common activities, such as material collection, mulching and mowing in thick turf conditions, and the EFI engine improves overall fuel economy.
"Our customers are hard-working and need equipment that is just as hard working as them. They demand higher horsepower EFI machines to more efficiently tackle varied mowing activities," said Nick Minas, product manager, John Deere Commercial Mowing. "With the latest additions to our ZTrak mower line, we're satisfying the needs of our professional customers while providing additional value with increased comfort and ease-of-use features."
In addition to increased power and improved fuel economy, John Deere also enhanced ride comfort and ease-of-use on these new models. To help operators stay more comfortable on long mowing days, the new mower offers an optional premium suspension seat on the M and R series machines. The newly designed seat offers a thicker bottom cushion, additional padding on the back with ergonomic contouring, and adjustable armrests to improve ride comfort and the overall mowing experience.
For added convenience, users will also notice an enlarged and angled fuel filler neck to complete fueling with less mess on all new Z900 Series ZTrak mowers.

Very soon, I'll be going on vacation to California and I couldn't be more excited! I've been thinking about what I want to pack, trying to avoid being a last minute packer, and crossbody bags came to mind. Since I know we'll be going to a few theme parks and I want to be as hands-free as possible, I figured this would be the best bag carrying option. I would need something that's big enough to carry my essentials, made of quality materials, and, of course, stylish. Thankfully, my friends over at Clothes Mentor invited me to check out their East Norriton location and see what goodies they had in store.
If you're not familiar with Clothes Mentor, here's what you need to know. Clothes Mentor is a resale shop where you can find designer brands up to 70% off the retail price. They carry everything from clothing from sizes 0 to 26, jewelry, shoes and accessories. Have some loved favorites you're ready to part with? Bring to Clothes Mentor and receive cash right on the spot! The staff is always so nice and ready to help you find exactly want you're looking for or discover something new. (Shout out to Atiya and Brenda for all you help!) You can read all about my last visit to the Clothes Mentor in Springfield here!
During this trip, I was able to find two beautiful designer bags at amazing prices! The first one, an AllSaints Cooper Small Camera Bag. This bag retails at $198 and is currently retailing on AllSaints.com for $278 (just in a different color), but at Clothes Mentor only $50 ($148 Savings!) Best part about it? It still had the tags on it! You just can't beat that! The quality of the bag is amazing and I really love the cowboy-inspired stitching on the strap and on the body of this nuback leather bag.
The next bag I got was the Coach Bleeker Mini Riley Carryall TwoTone Python Embossed Leather Bag. This was another steal! This bag retails at $239, but I got for $75 ($164 Savings)! Another crazy deal! The detail on this bag is like new! It's the softest leather ever and the python emboss give any outfit a little something special. I couldn't be more happy with my finds. They were just what I was looking for, for my vacation.
So as you can see, Clothes Mentor is a great spot to find designer bags, clothes, and accessories at unbelievable prices. They have locations nationwide, even one in Desert Palm, CA, which is close to where I'll be staying on vacation so we may have to take a trip there. It's great to stop in as often as possible because new goodies come in everyday and believe me, at Clothes Mentor, it's finders keepers. If you want to learn more about Clothes Mentor, visit their website: ClothesMentor.com to find a location nearest you!

BB&T Corp. and SunTrust Banks Inc. merged to become Truist Financial Corp., the sixth-largest U.S. commercial bank. The merger was completed Dec. 6, 2019, but the full transition to the Truist brand will occur over two years. In the short term, there will be no changes to many BB&T accounts and services, including mortgages, the company said.
Both BB&T and SunTrust will offer independent products for a "period of time," the SunTrust website states. "This may include differing underwriting guidelines, product features, terms, fees and pricing."
Let's see how BB&T measures up as a mortgage lender.
» MORE: Compare BB&T with other lenders
BB&T mortgage process
You can start the mortgage process with BB&T either by phone, in person or online. If you want to apply online, you'll have to create an account. Once you have an account, you'll be able to take advantage of a full suite of online capabilities, from application status checks to submitting documentation in BB&T's Mortgage Status and Document Management Center.
You can speak with a mortgage loan professional before submitting an application to go over loan requirements and options, and you can get help at any time during the process.
BB&T mortgage products
BB&T offers 10-, 15-, 20- and 30-year fixed-rate mortgages, and 3/1, 5/1, 7/1 and 10/1 adjustable-rate mortgages. VA loans are available for qualifying borrowers as well.
BB&T also offers renovation and construction loans. A construction-to-permanent loan is an option if you're building your home. This loan combines mortgage and construction financing into one loan, and when your home is complete, your construction financing switches to a permanent mortgage at a fixed or adjustable rate.
If you want to fix up your current home, a construction-to-permanent renovation loan is another option. You'll make interest-only payments during the construction period with both the new construction and renovation loans.
BB&T's home equity loan option comes with a fixed interest rate, and the company pays for your home appraisal. The home equity line of credit option comes with a variable or a fixed rate. With the fixed option, you can lock in a rate, a term and a payment amount. Fees are associated with both of these loans and can vary by state.
Low-down-payment options
BB&T has a handful of low-down-payment mortgage options. The HomeNow and CHIP programs are geared to lower- and moderate-income borrowers with down payments as low as 3%. Both programs require borrowers to complete an online home buyer education course. No mortgage insurance is required for the CHIP program.
The First-Time Home Buyer mortgage has no income limits and features a down payment requirement as low as 3% and a reduced mortgage insurance requirement.
USDA loans for rural borrowers and VA loans for eligible military service members and veterans require no down payment.
BB&T customer service
The BB&T website offers a tool to find a mortgage professional near you. You can also fill out an online form to have a loan officer contact you, or you can call for information.
Plenty of educational material is available on the BB&T mortgage website, such as articles listing reasons to refinance and where to find down payment assistance.
Customer satisfaction research firm J.D. Power gave BB&T a score of 792 out of 1,000 in its 2019 customer satisfaction study of mortgage originators. That was below the industry average of 850 and at the bottom of 20 ranked lenders. On its Power Circle Ratings scale, J.D. Power gave BB&T two out of five circles, which rounds out to among "the rest" of lenders, the lowest rating. Rating factors included overall satisfaction, billing and payment, mortgage fees and communications.
NerdWallet's star ratings for mortgage lenders are awarded based on our evaluation of the products and services each lender offers to consumers who are actively shopping for the best mortgage. The five key areas we evaluated include the variety of loan types and products offered, online conveniences, online mortgage rate information, and the rate spread and origination fee lenders reported in the latest available Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data. To ensure consistency, our ratings are reviewed by multiple people on the NerdWallet Mortgages team.

Israeli Prime Minister Says Palestinians Put Children in the Line of Fire
(CBS NEWS) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday defended the military's use of lethal force against Palestinians during anti-Israel protests along the Gaza border. In an interview with "CBS Evening News" anchor Jeff Glor, the prime minister said Palestinians put children in the line of fire.
Glor asked Netanyahu whether Israeli forces went too far.
"I don't know of any army that would do anything differently if you had to protect your border against people who say, 'We're going to destroy you, and we're going to flood into your country,'" Netanyahu told Glor. "You try other means. You try all sorts of means. You try non-lethal means, and they don't work, so you're left with bad choices.
COMING UP— CBS Evening News (@CBSEveningNews) May 15, 2018
"They're pushing civilians, women, children into the line of fire with a view of getting casualties"
In an interview with @jeffglor, Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, defends Israeli military actions in Gaza pic.twitter.com/y5EuxNSwlo
"It's a bad deal, and then you try and you go for below the knee, and sometimes it doesn't work, and unfortunately these things are avoidable. If Hamas had not pushed them there, then nothing would happen. Hamas holds responsibility for doing this, and they're deliberately doing it."
Nearly 60 Palestinians were killed during Monday's mass protest, which came on the same day the U.S. officially moved its embassy to Jerusalem. Netanyahu put the blame for the death toll on Hamas, which controls Gaza.
"They're pushing civilians, women, children into the line of fire with the view of getting casualties," Netanyahu told Glor. "We try to minimize casualties. They're trying to incur casualties in order to put pressure on Israel, which is horrible."

Hengist Steps Up
Harvest Feast, Halloween, and Hanging out…
I know I am petty bad about updating this thing, but really my blog its more for me than anyone else… If you choose to read it I do appreciate it, but really it is primarily a way for me to sort my thoughts out…
Since the breakup a lot has gone on, and yet not much at all… But life is starting to look up. I've been growing inside, which is great, I've seen a lot of good stuff happening around me… then again I guess there's a lot of heart aches too.
I know the Jason is hurting and that kills me. I hate seeing a friend going through so much pain and knowing that it is my doing. but I have to be true to myself… and even Jason admits that he was trying to change me.
So Halloween went pretty well, I spent the weekend with Hengist, Mira, Thorolf, and Sabrina… It was really nice having us all together all weekend. On friday night we all went up to a Halloween party at a friend's house in Bremerton. I ended up dressing as "Rosie the Rivitor"… Even loaned me an aluminum pipe wrench that totally made the costume… And I got to see a bunch of my friends that I haven't seen in way too long. It was really a blessing.
Saturday we all went to another party in Seattle… And there I got to see a bunch more of my SCA friends that I haven't seen in months or in a couple of cases a few years (along side the usual suspects of course)… This time I borrowed one of Mira's costumes and so I was an "anarchy cheerleader." Yet again we all got goofy and had a great time…
Strangely enough, Sunday everything was pretty tame… Mira had a belly dancing show scheduled at Karma in Puyallup, and Sabrina headed back home to Yakima. So Hengist, Mira, Thorolf and I went to the show where we saw Dana also… But the venue was putty barren so we just ate a nice indian food dinner… (lamb vindaloo – yum!) Mira want feeling too hot anyways, so it was probably good that she didn't dance.
On monday, I woke up sicker than snot with a fever… And I have spent the whole week in bed recovering… It's a brutal bug this year, almost everyone we saw this weekend caught some variation of it (lucky butts Sabrina and Thorolf exempt)…
I was capable of functioning about midday friday which is good because I discovered a horrible lump on Moses's torso… so by the generous grace of Sven and Anne, we took Mo to the vet. The very want quite sure what was going on, but after he took some fluid from the limp he saw it was infected so mo got a shot of strong antibiotics which have been helping immensely…
Moses is still having thyroid troubles, so we adjusted his meds a bit, hopefully that helps with his neurological problems, but he is ever too skinny… He only weighed in at 9.1 lbs when he should be somewhere around 16 lbs…. So somehow we have to get him eating enough food to start putting on the weight. Wish him luck, he needs it.
Saturday was harvest feast… Which was okay, but Hengist and Mira didn't go because they couldn't eat anything on the menu (stupid gluten), and Sven didn't go because he was a groomsman in a wedding. Feasts are so bunch more fun with them there…
After harvest feast Thorolf and I went to an after party which was pretty tame (that was preferable though) and later we went to see my friends the Hard Money Saints, and James Hunnicutt play at a bar just past the Roy Y. It was great seeing James, Jack, Mondo and Nick after so long… Kinda weird wearing my viking garb to the trail end of a rockabilly show, but all was good. Lastly we hit up Walmart to pick up some last-minute toys for tots donations then home…
I think I did way too much because I'm feeling pretty icky again (or still) but it has been great seeing all my friends I have been missing. Kills like I may have some photocopy gigs coming up possibly too to help concert my gas bill a bit better… Which is a relief… But a real job is priority…
Also congrats go to my cousin who had her baby… He is a cutie-pie although I have never met him because I have been sick… And I have a phone interview on the 12th.. So wish me luck with that… I have been out of work so long… I'm stir crazy…
I feel like I'm figuring myself out which is exactly what I need to do… Still waiting on my final "no"from the military, and if that happens I will look into counseling to help sort me out memtally a bit more… I think it could be of great value…
I'll try to keep this a bit more updated… It's good for me to write out my thoughts, and if you care to read my ramblings, great! If not, oh well… like I said this is mostly for me!
God's Stepping in…
So life's gone a bit nutty lately and everything has changed, while it's not all necessarily good per se, I feel like it is.
So I don't work at Jenny Craig any more… and also have moved back down to Tacoma again… there's plenty more to update but I am tired after Viking fest… but I do still love John Very Very much…. such is my curse…. Like I said to him at Viking fest — and It rings true both ways… It was never for a lack of love why I ran away… everything just could not seem to mesh….
Of Thralls and Freemen – Norse Social Structure During the Viking Age
Much like most societies throughout history, the Norse of the Viking Age practiced a hierarchical society consisting of multiple class levels. At the top was the ruling class of kings, jarls, and landsmen who oversaw their own lands. The middle class included freemen; these were the landowners, skilled workers, and farmers. The lowest social class was that of the thralls and slaves, these people were the major source of hard labor in Norse society. In this article a number of the various roles and rules involving the social structure of the Norse during the Viking Age will be discussed.
Perhaps one of the most intriguing social classes during the Viking Age is that of the thralls and slaves. These were the men and women who did the hardest labor and the most unpleasant jobs. The majority of slaves were acquired through war, piracy, and trade. They also could be born into slavery or become a slave as punishment for a crime. If a man was caught stealing from another, he would become slave to the victim of the crime as a consequence for his actions. Also, a debtor could become thrall to their creditor until his debt was repaid.
Life wasn't particularly pleasant for the thrall, for the slave born and bred life was exceptionally hard. For a freeborn warrior taken in the wars, or a well-nurtured girl who was ravished from her burned home it could be hell itself. He could be bought and sold just like any other chattel. Occasionally the thrall might be put down like a horse or a dog once his usefulness was past. He also might be sacrificed or executed to follow a dead owner into the afterlife. The mutineer or runaway thrall could expect no quarter. The owning class would as soon tolerate a wolf on the fold wall as a slave on the run, and his end was a wolf's end, quick and bloody.
Thralls had few rights and couldn't own land, if they broke the law they were beaten, maimed, or killed as consequence; however, life wasn't all bad for the thrall, and he did have some legal advantages to his status. For example, if a freeman and a slave committed theft together, the freeman was the one to be charged with the crime and the slave was not considered an accomplice. A slave also had the right to kill for his wife even though she was a bondmaid, but a freeman could not kill for a bondmaid even though she was considered his woman.
If a man's slave was murdered, there was no need for a leveling oath to be sworn. The thrall was considered chattel, and avenged as such; with money paid instead of blood shed as repayment for his life. In England, a thrall would be repaid with the gift of eight cows; in Iceland it was eight ounces of silver; and in Scandinavia, the killer must make amends according to the slave's value naked. If his master was the killer, he was not considered liable before the law unless he killed him/her during a legally ordained festival, or during Lent. If he killed the thrall during these times, the consequence of such actions was banishment.
Thralls did have the right to own some possessions, hold money, and have time to work for themselves. They were allowed to do business at public markets and make their own private transactions if the value involved less than one ortug (1/3 ounce of silver, or 20 pence). He also had the right to marry (although any resulting children would also be slaves), and the ability to purchase, earn, or be rewarded with his freedom. Also, the ill treatment of thralls was regarded as an undesirable quality in norse culture, and masters seemed to have treated their slaves quite well. The slave did not bear arms unless he was defending the stead, or fighting off invaders. If he were to kill such an invader, he could expect to be rewarded with his freedom.
Once a slave was released from servitude, he was considered a freedman (leysingi). Although he was now free, and no longer a slave, his position in society was still limited. He was still dependent upon his master and family for multiple generations, this also made it so the freedman could not conduct legal proceedings against his former master. He needed someone to protect his new freedom and often looked to his old master to defend it. A freedman could gain his full freedom by purchasing it with an even larger payment than would normally be required to be freed from the binds of slavery.
Above the freedman were the bondi and the karls – these were the truly free – the land holding farmers, sailors, hunters, merchants, and other skilled workers. They varied from poor peasants to those with great wealth and localized authority. All these people were still essentially considered farmers; even if their absence required other people to work their land, either free or thrall.
Theoretically, the bondi had a farm of his own, but oftentimes most young men lived with their parents, or farmed the lands of a large and/or absent landowner. These men still retained their social status. They would till the land, raise stock, bear witness, and produce verdicts, vote on matters of public concern at the Thing; these matters could be as important as the election of a new king, a change of religion or simple verdicts on legal cases. The freeman would attend religious and lay ceremonies, forge and bare weapons, man ships, serve in levies, be aware of their worth and what they owed. The bondi impressed upon others such traits and rights as these that they stood as a class of their own in Europe as a free peasantry.
Above the bondi were the landowners that held hereditary rights to their own land. "In Orkney, Shetland, and the Western Isles, these were known as odalsbondi, In Norway as hauldr, and in England as holdas." (Regia Anglorum) Odal rights were ferociously defended because they distinguished a family claim that could not be usurped by jarls, or even the crown.
The upper levels of Viking society were composed of various forms of nobility and kings. The lowest rank of the ruling class was that of the landsmenn (approximately the equivalent of a medieval 'baron'). These men were also known in Denmark as straesmen. They originated as ship commanders, but later included men who could field and maintain approximately 40 armed men. Their positions were not hereditary and were gained positions through an oath of loyalty to the king, on whose behalf they held their authority.
More common was the jarl. He was either a partial or fully independent lordship. Some of these men inherited their lands by odal right, while others fought their way into power. In the early period there was little clear difference between some of the more powerful jarls and the many petty kings of Denmark and Norway. Later these men were defeated making the Viking captain and his fleet and hirð a thing of the past. The new successors for these positions were chieftains, landed men who wished for stability and peace. They were the members of a bondi aristocracy who supported a centralized kingship.
At the top of the social ladder was the King. He was the one who ruled – the one that the jarls and landsmen reported to. A king's revenues derived in large measure from royal estates. He also received a share of the confiscated property of outlaws and felons. His outgoing expenses would also be great. He could make a number of limited demands on his subjects for national works and instruments of defense. When his kingdom was at war, he took command of his fighting forces.
With the king traveled his hirð or bodyguard, which was composed of retainers who had pledged loyalty to him and if need be their lives. In war these were the core of his army, in peace the ones who enforced his authority. The hirdmen were the kings elect – or their lord's elect. He would give his men swords, helms, arm-rings, torques, clothes, food, drink, axes inlaid with silver, and women if his men so desired. In exchange, the king expected them to claim what was due to him, service at home and overseas, during war and peace, difficult tasks and sometimes even their lives.

How to Change Your FTP Port
Lately FTP has been a problem for a lot of hosting providers. Especially since the recent influx of Gumblar-related attacks and FTP exploits, some hosting providers are now considering changing their FTP ports as an added measure of security. If you're on a cPanel server you have a couple extra steps to go through, but it's a rather easy change.
1) Edit /etc/pure-ftpd.conf and look for the following line:
Bind 21
Where is a publically routable IP. The default example, 127.0.0.1, will cause the socket to bind locally but then this connection won't serve externally. is the new port you wish to put the service on.
2) If necessary, add the new FTP port to your server's firewall
3) Edit /etc/chkserv.d/ftpd and change the port, which is the first comma-separated entry to the right of '=' on the line in the file, to match the port you put the service on.
/etc/init.d/pure-ftpd restart
/etc/init.d/cpanel restart (restarts tailwatchd/chkservd)
Edit /etc/proftpd.conf and change:
Port 21
Then make sure to test to make sure FTP is working before notifying your users!

Drug trends are in constant motion. Easy access to cocaine, heroin, marijuana, methamphetamine and other illegal drugs is well documented. In addition, the internet provides another avenue to many different kinds of drugs or chemical concoctions that provide a high, a low, hallucinogenic or other experience. Some of these internet acquired concoctions can be more dangerous than heroin or methamphetamine. Even legitimate, commercially manufactured prescription drugs are available from international markets that do not have the same restrictions or laws as the U.S. The availability of drugs and the ability of Law Enforcement Authorities to stop this threat is daunting. Our 2011 Drug ID Guide on the left shows some of the internet connections as well as some of the latest drugs available.

Term:Highest reorder number
From International Robin Hood Bibliography
Revision as of 19:01, 21 December 2017 by Henryfunk (talk | contribs) (Henryfunk moved page Highest reorder number to Term:Highest reorder number without leaving a redirect)
HRN stands for 'highest reorder number'. The term is used in characterizing issues of Classics Illustrated comic books. They usually carry a list of previously published issues on the back cover. In principle the HRN of a first printing is exactly one lower than the number of the issue in question, whereas reprintings tend to have an HRN that is equal to the number of issues that had been published at the date of the reprinting in question. Classics Illustrated were published in about a dozen countries, and there are probably exceptions to these rules. Normally an HRN is a simple number, but sometimes it is prefixed with "WA". This is the case when the rear cover lists the series The World Around us instead of Classics Illustrated.

Iowa State to push the pace in '14-15
AMES, Iowa (AP) — There wasn't a high-major program in the country with a more potent offense than Iowa State last season.
The Cyclones plan on being even more explosive in 2014-15.
The hottest topic surrounding Iowa State in recent weeks has been coach Fred Hoiberg's desire to "play fast." The 14th-ranked Cyclones want to push the tempo as much as they can this season behind sophomore point guard Monte Morris and a cast of athletic scorers. Iowa State (28-8 in 2013-14) host Oakland in its season opener on Friday night.
"I think we have a lot more weapons," forward Georges Niang said. "A bunch of guys can really score the ball."
Morris is the key component in Iowa State's plan to top the 82.9 points a game it scored last season, which was tops among the power five conference schools. He set an NCAA record as a freshman with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 4.97-to-1, and he'll be asked to control the offense more than ever now that DeAndre Kane has graduated.
Morris shot more than 40 percent from 3-point range and averaged nearly seven points a game last season. But he'll be looked upon more for assists than baskets.
Morris believes that the key to a better offense is a better defense, which will allow the Cyclones to attack opponents in space before they can get back and get set.
"Communication will be big for us. We know that if we talk to each other and get stops, we can get out in transition. You'll see a lot of nice plays," Morris said.
Niang scored 16.7 points a game last season, and he should be able to run better than he ever has after dropping 25 pounds following foot surgery. But he's far from the only option Iowa State will have on offense.
The Cyclones have at least eight guys they can count on for baskets.
Senior forward Dustin Hogue will be a larger focus in Iowa State's game plans after scoring 34 points in an NCAA tournament loss to Connecticut.
Guard Bryce Dejean-Jones led UNLV in scoring at 13.6 points a game last season and was named the Big 12's preseason Newcomer of the Year. Dejean-Jones is more of a traditional shooting guard than Kane, whose game was often predicated on attacking the basket, but he's expected to have a similar impact.
Naz Long was 6 of 7 shooting from 3-point range during the last five minutes of Big 12 and NCAA tournament games last season.
Center Jameel McKay won't be eligible until Dec. 20, and he's expected to have more of an impact defensively. But McKay also scored over 1,000 points in two seasons of junior college ball.
Matt Thomas struggled with his shooting as a freshman last season, but still managed to score at least 10 points eight times. Transfer Abdel Nader led Northern Illinois in scoring in 2012-13, and his size and versatility should help the Cyclones exploit matchups.
Thomas and Nader were suspended for the first two games for separate drunken driving arrests in the offseason, so it might take some time for Hoiberg to figure out what lineups work best.
"I'm not sure the rotations have fully worked themselves out yet," Hoiberg said. "We'll see how the flow of the game is going and make our substitutions accordingly.

Customer activity report
I would like a report that would be able to show the last time we saw a customer and what it was for. This would allow us to customize a email blast for customers that haven't had yearly maintenance done or so we could reach out to customers we haven't seen in a while.

One workaround you could use would be to export the customer list to spreadsheet and sort by last updated at.

Does anyone know if this report is available yet?
Thanks Janelle

The European Film Academy (EFA) has called for 'Oleg Sentsov Day', a worldwide show support for the release of Ukrainian director and political prisoner Oleg Sentsov, three months to the day since he began his hunger strike.
An email sent to EFA members noted the length of Sentsov's strike, and said, 'PLEASE join us in our call for his release. Whether it's a print article, an online text, a post or tweet or a fax to the Russian embassy in your country – let's make sure that August 14 becomes known as Oleg Sentsov Day'.
The email then described Senstov's situation, noting that he has lost 30kg in weight since his strike began, and 'that he is suffering from anaemia and a slow heartbeat'.
It also cites a Facebook post on August 8 from Sentsov's cousin Natalya Kaplan, in which she says 'Things aren't just bad, they're catastrophically bad'.
The email ends with a call for media around the world, heads of state, foreign secretaries, members of national parliaments and of the European Union to unite their voices to say to Russian president Vladimir Putin, 'Mr President, have mercy, release Oleg Sentsov!'
The EFA has long supported Sentsov's release, holding a vigil outside the Russian Embassy in Berlin last month.
They have also written an open Letter to Free Oleg Sentsov, drafted by industry figures including Stephen Daldry, Mike Leigh, Ken Loach and Wim Wenders.
Ukrainian filmmaker Sentsov was arrested in May 2014 in connection with alleged activities opposing the annexation of the Crimean Peninsula by Russia, and sentenced by Russian court in August 2015 to 20 years imprisonment. He is serving out his sentence in Russia's northern-most prison in Labytnangi, Yamalo-Nemets, and began his indefinite hunger strike on May 14, 2018.
Earlier this month a March 2019 release date was set for the adaptation of his dystopian play Numbers, with shooting planned for November this year.

Another month's worth of episodes of "The Doctors" has aired on RetroTV. Below are my thoughts on what has aired for the month of May 1972.
Vito is back in Madison, as he got into an argument with the head of research at his New York City hospital. Nick decided to give him a job running the lab, so Dr. Bellini could spend more time in the operating room and dealing with neurology cases. Toni and Mike were upset about this situation for obvious reasons.
Maggie's health continued to deteriorate, and Frank held her hostage on the roof using a knife. He pushed Maggie around and gave her rough kisses but Matt arrived before Frank could rape her. Matt and Frank fought, and Frank fell off the roof. Maggie was put in the hospital, and Nick figured out what was wrong with her. She had arachnoiditis and needed surgery to fix her problem. Maggie had such pressure on the brain of course, she felt she was going mad. Everyone was relieved that Nick figured it out, and he did the surgery with Hank assisting. Dr. Hendryx was upset about this as he felt that Nick was overstepping. Matt wanted Nick to get what he wanted, which included operating room three. Maggie is now on the road to recovery. Hopefully Greta will no longer be scared of her mother. She was so freaked about the idea of seeing her that she ran away to Karen's apartment.
Steve and Carolee hosted Emma and her new boyfriend/boss Andrew Winters for dinner. The meal was a bit of a mess, and Carolee wasn't giving the man an inch. The cake got destroyed and the potatoes weren't cooked correctly (at least the ones that were on Carolee's plate.) Emma later told Carolee how Andrew's daughter was as skeptical of her as her daughter was of him. Carolee became confused when Emma started exercising with free weights, but Emma said you're as young as you feel. Emma told her daughter to not worry about having a space for her in the new house, as she enjoys living alone in the apartment.
Karen's life fell apart as Matt found out about how Karen lied about losing her life in Germany. She mixed German wine and pills, and a record skipped ominously in her home. The babysitter arrived and called Steve when she couldn't get in to Erich. Steve sent her and the boy away, and called Carolee to help her revive Karen. Working together they were able to get her back to consciousness, as it would have been inappropriate for Steve to make Karen take a shower. Steve gave Erich back to Karen even after this, though he gave a stern warning. Unfortunately, this looks like it will backfire due to everything going wrong at the hospital. Everyone is blaming Karen for not discovering what was wrong with Maggie, when she wasn't the only doctor to run tests. This is obviously ludicrous as Matt who was living with her, and Althea, her best friend saw nothing wrong. Karen is quitting in two weeks, and said she didn't need a recommendation from Matt to work in another hospital in town. Matt gave Steve a warning that he needed to see Karen due to her decision to leave Hope Memorial. Karen isn't talking, and if she takes Erich away, this is going to get nasty.
John still suffered the effects of Althea throwing a tobacco tin at his head. He woke up, but on the day he was supposed to be released couldn't walk. John isn't paralyzed for good, but it is uncertain how long it will take for him to get better. Nick wants him to get surgery, but John wanted Dr. Hendryx as his physician. Hendryx believes that Morrison shouldn't get spinal surgery and they should wait to see if his motor skills improve. Cathy was his nurse, just like she had been Maggie's when she was brought into Hope. Cathy wants another obstetrician, which is understandable as she shouldn't have gone to Steve to begin with considering their past. Nick told Althea about Cathy's pregnancy, while Cathy feels like there is a conspiracy against her.
Those were the highlights of May 1972. This was the first weekend no new episodes in months and I missed my extra dose. I'm hoping that things get moving with Toni and Billy's mother, as we haven't been seeing the boy, and everything is still uncertain. I also wonder if Toni and Mike will wed in June, or was that just an estimate.
This blog is mainly about soaps, though it will sometimes veer into other topics. The main purpose is to provide a space for when board discussion isn't enough as sometimes my thoughts and feelings take on a life of their own. Even if some of the shows I enjoy have been cancelled, I will continue to post about them. They may take away the shows, but they can't destroy the love.

The Benefits Of Internal Oak Doors
Dec 03, 2014
Oak. It's the best there is. Why? Because it's beautiful! But much more than that, it's a solid solution to your interior door needs. Let me tell you why.
Interior doors are needed for three basic functions. To stop draughts, to stop unwanted noise and for privacy.
The latter is a simple one. If you want privacy then getting solid oak doors will mean absolute privacy! Guaranteed! Though, if privacy isn't the issue then oak internal french doors are an excellent addition allowing light to pass through and creating a greater sense of space.
However, it's in the other two categories that interior oak doors excel. As a hardwood, oak is particularly difficult to work with because of how strong it is when dry. However, being an incredibly strong timber, it is heavy duty and long lasting - perfect for interior doors which are slammed and hit all the time.
Draught Proof Oak Doors
It also means that when they are manufactured they are fit flush into their frame. Because they are resistant to damage over time, they won't at any point no longer fit into their frames thereby ensuring that they are no unwanted cold draughts sneaking into your living room!
Unlike cheap wooden doors, which will chip easily and often warp with changes of moisture in the air, internal oak doors will keep their shape, never warp or get stuck meaning that you will never get cold feet on the sofa!
This will not only keep you warm but keep the bills down too.
Noise Proof Internal Oak Doors
The title kind of gives it away already… But oak being a solid hardwood makes it an excellent choice when you want a door that will keep the noise from one room out of the other. Perfect if you've got a children's den attached to your living room or to keep the study quiet.
Internal oak doors bring a sense of style inside - they are reassuringly sturdy, handsome doors which compliment any design aesthetic. That's as well as the additional benefits of noise reduction and thermal insulation.
