Milan, Italy-based appliance maker Indesit Company said sales in its second quarter of 2006 were 768 million euros (approx. U.S. $980 million), an increase of up 3.9 percent. EBIT (earnings before interest, taxes) before restructuring costs were 37 million euros (approx. $47 million), up 15.5 percent. Net profit was 7 million euros (approx. $8.9 million), down 11.9 percent, which Indesit said was due to restructuring costs equal to 11 million euros (approx. $14 million), up 60.7 percent.
For the first half of 2006, sales were 1.464 billion euros (approx. $1.868 billion), up 5.1 percent, EBIT before restructuring costs was 73 million euros (approx. $93 million), up 16.1 percent, net profit was 19 million euros (approx. $24 million), up 0.5 percent.
Indesit said its market share continues to climb, growing 0.4 percent in the second quarter f the year.
"The positive sales trend in the second quarter has significantly improved our operating margin," said Indesit CEO Marco Milani. "The increase in sales was general, ranging from 1.3 percent in West Europe to 9.6 percent in East Europe. Overall, Indesit Company saw growth in excess of the market average. In the United Kingdom, which is particularly significant for the company, the trend was reversed and is now positive again. There was also an increase in extraordinary charges arising from our industrial plan, which is proceeding on schedule. Tight control of general expenses, production efficiency and successful product launches in the last quarter have helped along the virtuous circle initiated in October 2005 with the presentation of the 3-year plan."

Francis' one-liners keep Vatican on guard
We have not had a pope in our lifetimes who speaks as off-the-cuff as Francis does. His openness is a most refreshing change for many, though requires his attempted handlers inside the Vatican to occasionally clarify his remarks.
Here are a few of his recent one-liners from The Associated Press.

– Robin Gisby managing director of Network Rail
Following the effects of the severe weather, our track teams have worked tirelessly throughout the day to clear around 200 fallen trees and debris.
Whilst we are still working to fix a number of damaged overhead power lines on the routes north of London, the majority of railway lines in and around the south east of England have reopened although it will take some time before normal service is resumed.
We still have more to do tonight to fix the damage caused by the storms but will continue to work throughout the night and are hopeful of running a normal service tomorrow

U.S. stocks were trading mixed Thursday, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average recently edge down a point to 14960, the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index was essentially flat at 1609, and the Nasdaq Composite added three points to 3404. Among the companies with shares actively trading in Thursday's session are VeriFone Systems Inc. (PAY), Ciena Corp. (CIEN) and Vera Bradley Inc. (VRA).
VeriFone ($18.12, -$3.84, -17.47%) swung to a fiscal second-quarter loss as the maker of card-payment systems recorded significant legal expenses and product sales weakened. Results missed the company's expectations and it provided third-quarter guidance below analyst estimates.
Ciena's ($18.40, +$2.09, +12.82%) fiscal second-quarter loss narrowed as the networking-equipment company's revenue topped its own forecast. The company also estimated current-quarter revenue above analysts' estimates. Fellow suppliers also rise, including JDS Uniphase Corp. (JDSU, $13.91, +$0.78, +5.94%), Adtran Inc. (ADTN, $24.47, +$1.59, +6.95%), Infinera Corp. (INFN, $10.80, +$0.26, +2.47%) and Finisar Corp. (FNSR, $13.61, +$0.72, +5.59%).
Vera Bradley's ($19.94, -$2.52, -11.22%) fiscal first-quarter profit shrank 27% as the handbag designer's increased costs overshadowed stronger revenue and higher same-store sales. Additionally, Chief Executive Michael C. Ray said he will retire, though he plans to remain CEO through a transition period and continue to serve as a director.
Ascena Retail Group Inc.'s (ASNA, $17.80, -$2.06, -10.37%) fiscal third-quarter earnings fell 37% as the women's apparel retailer recorded higher expenses and acquisition-related costs, masking revenue growth. Results missed analysts' expectations and the company lowered its full-year earnings guidance.
Other Stocks To Watch:
Coldwater Creek Inc.'s (CWTR, $3.01, -$0.45, -12.90%) fiscal first-quarter loss narrowed amid stronger margins that offset a bigger-than-expected decline in sales at the women's apparel retailer. The company offered downbeat guidance for the current quarter.
Conn's Inc.'s (CONN, $50.35, +$1.89, +3.90%) fiscal first-quarter earnings surged 92% amid broad sales growth led by its furniture and mattress business and sharply improved margins. The company raised its per-share earnings estimate and same-store sales growth outlook for the fiscal year.
Endo Health Solutions Inc. (ENDP, $36.85, +$0.89, +2.47%) unveiled a series of cost-cutting plans, including cutting its global workforce by 15% and exploring strategic alternatives for parts of its business, as the pharmaceutical company looks to focus on its core businesses.
Ferrellgas Partners L.P.'s (FGP, $21.97, +$0.97, +4.62%) fiscal third-quarter earnings soared as the propane distributor reported increased propane sales volumes, while margins improved sharply thanks to lower propane costs. The company raised its fiscal year outlook for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
Francesca's Holdings Corp.'s (FRAN, $27.84, -$2.25, -7.48%) fiscal first-quarter earnings rose 25% as the women's apparel and accessories retailer continued its pace of double-digit sales growth. However, sales came in below guidance.
FuelCell Energy Inc.'s (FCEL, $1.52, +$0.05, +3.40%) fiscal second-quarter loss narrowed as the power-equipment maker's revenue grew more than expected and as margins improved.
Chinese game developer and operator Giant Interactive Group Inc. (GA, $7.18, -$0.38, -4.97%) said a downsized secondary offering of 11 million American depositary shares priced at $7.25 a share, a 4% discount to Wednesday's close.
ISoftStone Holdings Ltd. (ISS, $5.24, +$0.40, +8.18%) said it has received an acquisition offer from Chief Executive Tianwen Liu and China Asset Management Co. that values the China-based IT services firm at $339 million. Mr. Liu and China Asset Management are prepared to offer $5.85 per American depositary share, marking a 21% premium to Wednesday's close.

"That's the Way Love Goes" is a song by American recording artist Janet Jackson from her fifth studio album, janet.. It was written and produced by Jackson and Jam & Lewis. The single saw Jackson transitioning to sensual territory and themes of romantic lust, considered a shocking contrast among critics and the public. The song's slow tempo fused pop, R&B, and funk with flourishes of downtempo music. It received positive reception from contemporary music critics, who praised it as "iconic," "hypnotic," and an "extravaganza" for its production and vocals.
The song became Jackson's biggest hit to date and was the longest-reigning hit of the year, peaking atop the Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks, also reaching number one on the Hot 100 Airplay for ten weeks, and multiple weeks on Billboard's component charts. The song became the first and only single in history to debut at number one on the Hot R&B Airplay chart. Internationally, it placed at the number one position in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia, Hungary, and South Africa. The song is the eighteenth biggest hit of the nineties, and is also the biggest selling single by a female artist in South Africa.
"That's the Way Love Goes" received a Grammy Award for Best R&B song, in addition to Billboard Awards, BMI Pop Award for "Most Played Song," BPI Sales Awards, American Music Awards, and Soul Train Awards. Its accompanying music video received several nominations at the MTV Video Music Awards. To date, it has sold over three million copies worldwide.
"That's the Way Love Goes" has been covered by artists such as Bruno Mars and 'N Sync, cited as an influence by Britney Spears and Nelly Furtado, and inspired or been sampled in songs by Alicia Keys, Destiny's Child, and Utada Hikaru. The song's music video has influenced several videos, including releases from Ciara and Prince. It is considered among Jackson's signature songs, along with "Nasty", "Rhythm Nation", "Together Again", "All for You", and several others.

Prior to recording, Jackson signed a forty-million dollar contract with Virgin Records, becoming the world's highest-paid musical act. "That's the Way Love Goes" was released as the first single from Jackson's fifth studio album, janet., and was written and produced by Jackson and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Its aura was a stark contrast from the industrial-driven dance pop of Rhythm Nation 1814. Jackson was initially indifferent upon hearing its instrumental, prompting her to request a tape to listen to as she embarked on a brief vacation.[1] Upon returning, Jackson replied "You know that track you did? I love it. It's absolutely the bomb," adding "I wasn't hearing it, but now I totally hear it." "We've gotta do that track! Oh my God, we played it non-stop!"[1][2] Jackson desired to write and record the song immediately, and quickly devised its title.[1]
The song's first composition had a lovelorn tone which Jackson revised, contacting producer Jimmy Jam to say she was taking an alternate direction. Jackson soon buzzed his home intercom early in the morning. Jam recalled, "She said, 'Are you awake?' I said 'Umm, I am now!' She says, 'I got the idea for the song. That's the way love goes… but in a good way.' We went and recorded it that day and it sort of set the tone for what the album was."[3] Its final composition displayed a more seductive and sensual light. Virgin Records selected "If" as the album's first release, desiring an upbeat dance song, but Jackson argued otherwise. "Everybody was talking about 'If'", says Jam. "To me, your first single should say, 'Welcome to the album. If you like this, check out the rest.' And we really felt 'That's the Way Love Goes' was in keeping with the spirit of the rest of the album. And since it went to number one, we proved that we were right!"
Regarding its development, Jam said "For us, 'That's the Way Love Goes' was the perfect entrée, if you will, into what the album was going to be. At one point in the recording we took a two-week break for the holidays and Janet went to a place in Anguilla called Cap Juluca, her favourite little getaway spot. She said, 'Would you make me a cassette of all the tracks?' I put 'That's the Way Love Goes' on for the heck of it, which sampled 'Papa Don't Take No Mess' because I'd been a big James Brown fan back in the day. Two weeks later, she comes back, walks into the studio and says, 'We've gotta do that track! Oh my God, we played it non-stop!' At that time, she and René were staying at my house. At about one in the morning, the intercom went off in my bedroom. She goes, 'Jimmy? Are you awake?' I said, 'I am now.' She said, 'I've got the concept. It's going to be called 'That's the Way Love Goes'.' Throughout the whole project, it was our favourite record. We liked everything we did, but there was something about that song that we just thought was so different and really captured that part of her life." [2] In retrospect, Jackson called the song "relaxed and carefree," being "easy and fun, soft and seductive."[4] Jam recalled, "We won a Best Song Grammy for That's The Way Love Goes and I said "You know what the significance of winning this Grammy is?" and she says, "No, what?" I said, "You won this Grammy as a songwriter. This is a song writing award." She said, "Wow, that is so cool."[3] "That's the Way Love Goes" was included on compilations Design of a Decade: 1986-1996 and Number Ones.
"That's the Way Love Goes" is set in common time, in the key of G minor. Jackson's vocal chords range between the tonal nodes of high-tone F3 to low-tone Bb4. The song is in a medium tempo of 100 beats per minute with the chord progression being set like Am–E–Gb.[5]
"That's the Way Love Goes" was well received by contemporary music critics, praised for its sonic innovation and departure, evolving to an edgier and sensual style. David Browne of Entertainment Weekly described it as "gently percolating pop" and "easygoing," with another critique stating "the sexy lyrical composition blends well with the seductively arranged harmony of the song."[6] Rolling Stone described the song as a "warm bed of soul sounds." The publication praised Jackson's approach to sexuality, writing "Jackson evades reductive sexuality by demanding love and respect from both her partner and herself. She wants you to touch her, and love's got to do with it because "that's the way love goes." Janet won't stand for a trade-off — she wants love and sex."[7] Amazon called it "extremely slinky", while Alex Henderson of AllMusic qualified it as both "sultry" and "hypnotic."[8][9]
Billboard considered the song an adult affair in comparison to Jackson's prior releases, saying "Janet leaves the flirting to the kids and instead lets her guard down for her lover ("Come closer baby closer / reach out and feel my body.")"[10] The L.A. Times described "That's the Way Love Goes" as "one of the most endearing pieces of romantic pop confection of the '90s," adding "the song is a highlight of Jackson's latest and best album, "janet.," a "silky collection" exploring "questions of sexual awakening and desire with a classy sense of pop craft and convincing passion."[11] The publication also stated "Summer pop doesn't get any smoother or more seductive," likening its quality as unheard for several decades, adding "You might have to go all the way back to Smokey Robinson and the Miracles or, even, the Drifters to find summer pop as silky and as inviting as this."[12] Vibe called it "cool, sensual, simple."[13] It was labeled an "appealing midtempo number" with Jackson's vocals performed in a "lilt" technique.[14][15]
PopCrush classified the "ultra-smooth jam" as both "sultry and deep."[16][17] Glenn Gamboa of Newsday declared "After two straight smash albums and a dozen immediate hits, Jackson takes a left turn," ultimately "focusing on vibe and groove and making the most of her voice."[18] The song was considered one of several which displayed how Jackson "blossomed into a beautiful young woman," described as "a slow burn of a groove led by her sensual whisper," complete with "slinky guitars" revealing a hidden side of her persona.[19][20] MTV considered it "sultry, slow-burning," also labeled "supple" and "sensual."[21][22] Elsewhere, the song was considered a "gentle love ballad."[23] An additional review stated "That's the Way Love Goes" and the janet. album "shattered any illusions the public still held that Janet remained a little girl. Filled with sexual desires and adult fantasies, Janet broke boundaries but still managed to channel her desires into chart-topping hits."
"That's the Way Love Goes" entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number fourteen.[24][25] Two weeks later, a day before Jackson's birthday, it became Jackson's sixth number one on the Hot 100, eleventh number one on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and ninth number one on the Hot Dance Club Play charts. The single is Jackson's biggest Hot 100 Airplay hit, spending ten weeks at number one; achieving four weeks atop the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and Hot Dance Music Maxi-Singles Sales. It also peaked atop the Hot R&B Airplay and Hot R&B Single Sales charts. To date, the song is Jackson's biggest hit in the United States, notably exceeding the longevity of any of Michael Jackson and Madonna's number one singles.[26] It became the eighteenth biggest hit of the nineties. Six years after its release, Billboard ranked the song as the thirtieth biggest pop hit of the past forty-five years, and in 2007, ranked it as the nineteenth biggest hit ever by a female solo artist, ahead of singles by rival Madonna.[27][28]
The song is among one of eight songs to reach the top ten of the Pop Songs chart within two weeks of its release and is the longest-reigning number one hit among them, staying atop the chart for ten weeks.[29] Jackson is one of the few artists with a minimum of ten top ten hits on Rhythmic formats, with "That's the Way Love Goes" being her first appearance and number one on the chart.[30] The single was certified gold by the RIAA on November 12, 1993, and later certified platinum.[31]
Internationally, "That's the Way Love Goes" reached number one in Australia, Hungary, New Zealand, the United Kingdom's R&B chart, and Japan's J-WAVE Tokio Hot 100 chart; also reaching the top position in Canada. The song peaked at number two in the United Kingdom, within the top five in Finland, Holland, and the Netherlands; and the top ten in Denmark, Germany, Ireland, and Sweden. It is the biggest selling single by a female artist in South Africa, spending nine weeks at number one and certified four times platinum. The single was certified platinum in the United States and Australia, and silver in the United Kingdom.[32]
The song's video was directed by René Elizondo, Jr. in March 1993. Set in a loft, Jackson is depicted amongst friends and is persuaded to play her new single. Jackson plays the song, briefly interrupted by a dancer who pauses it to express her approval. The song resumes while Jackson and company begin to dance, ending with Jackson talking and joking amongst her dancers. The video was choreographed by Tina Landon. To build anticipation, a promotional advertisement was aired on music channels for several weeks prior to the video's premiere, depicting Jackson narrating and introducing her dancers from behind a camera lens.[33]
The video is iconic within popular culture, being the first glimpse of Jackson's seductive and adult image, in contrast to the bulky uniforms and military ensemble she was previously known for. The transition first began with prior video "Love Will Never Do (Without You)," portraying Jackson's newly-svelte figure and midriff-baring style, becoming her trademark image and iconic within entertainment. "That's the Way Love Goes" was nominated for Best Dance Video and Best Choreography at the MTV Video Music Awards, and won the award for Best Female Video. The video is featured on the janet. and Design of a Decade video compilations, special edition edition of All for You, and From janet. to Damita Jo: The Videos. Behind the scenes footage of its filming was also released.[34] An alternate "One Take Version" focusing solely on Jackson appears exclusively on the janet. video compilation.[35]
The video is also infamous for introducing a then-unknown Jennifer Lopez, who appeared as a backing dancer and had a spoken line in the video's opening dialogue. Lopez credits Jackson as her inspiration to enter the entertainment industry, saying "When I saw the "Pleasure Principle" [video] it inspired me to get into this business," and "I can also never forget the magnificent Janet Jackson as she is a big inspiration for all my dance and music videos."[36][37]
Jackson's previous video "Love Will Never Do (Without You)" was the "first inkling" of the contrasted image developed with the release of janet. and "That's the Way Love Goes."[20] Jackson's transition to a sultrier image is regarded as iconic and commended by many critics. Maureen Sajbel of The LA Times stated Jackson abandoned "the masculine clothes," becoming "refined and softened to a model-perfect feminine image." Sajbel wrote "Jackson's svelte figure is poured into black bell-bottoms and crop tops. She wears silver hoop earrings and wide cream and silver chokers that have sent adolescents streaming into stores asking for "Janet Jackson necklaces."[23] Entertainment Weekly declared it Jackson's earliest foray into being "not just a cherubic pop star but a confident, self-sufficient, and sexy grown-up," calling the "slinky, body-revealing" video "the first volley."[38]
PopMatters commended its choreography as "sinuous seduction" and praised its concept, saying "the video for "That's the Way Love Goes" once again showcases Janet and her friends, but this time the portrait is much more sensual and relaxed. When this video was released, Janet had been out of the public eye for several years. The video gave hungry fans a fresh eyeful of a radiant, sexy-looking Janet, murmuring a tribute to the joys of physical love."[39][40] Idolator also applauded Jackson's evolution, exclaiming "Ms. Jackson had finally shed her bulky "Rhythm Nation" uniform in exchange for a midriff baring top and a choker, long before anyone would associate her name with the words "wardrobe malfunction".[41] The clip was thought to be "the most accessible version of the star the public had ever seen."[3]
Foster Kamer of Complex declared it a "really simple formula" and "decidely lo-fi" in comparison to Jackson's "high-tech repertoire." Described as "just a bunch of ladies, kicking it in Janet's loft, dancing around to music," the clip was praised as "all at once golden" for Jackson's "power of seemingly limitless charisma, especially when metered out and not unleashed full-force." The publication concluded "And yet: Janet oozes sexuality as she dances with the ladies around the apartment, leaning on walls, looking up at the ceiling, possibly thinking thoughts about her then-husband René Elizondo Jr."[42] Robert Christgau considered it among Jackson's videos which displayed "a gender equality that's almost progressive by video's pitiful male-chauvinist standards" due to the portrayal of Jackson as dominate over her male counterparts, in which two male dancers compete for her and seven female dancer's attention.[43] The LA Times stated the clip's premise of "Jackson lounging with her pals" succeeds at "seeming offhandedly sexy in a very shrewd way."[23][44] MusicOMH considered it "a sultry start" into Jackson's new image, with Jackson seen dancing "up against a pillar."[45] Feminist website Jezebel considered Jackson "loud, fierce and mouthy" in the video, in contrast to Jackson's "usually so soft-spoken" persona.[46] The New York Times observed "the bump" dance to resurface among youth and clubs "now that Janet Jackson does it in her new video."[47]
Jackson performed a medley of "That's the Way Love Goes" and "If" at the MTV Video Music Awards. The song was performed along with "Because of Love" on MTV's New Year's Eve special. It was also performed on Top of the Pops and French entertainment show Les Années Tubes. Jackson later performed the song on The Ellen DeGeneres Show during promotion for 20 Y.O. and Good Morning America upon the release of her tenth album Discipline. It has been performed on each of her following tours, including the janet. Tour, The Velvet Rope Tour, All for You Tour, Rock Witchu Tour, and Number Ones: Up Close and Personal.
Jackson's performance medley at the MTV Video Music Awards is often regarded among the most infamous and intricate performances of her career. Complex included it among "The 25 Sexiest Moments in VMA History," commenting "when Britney and Christina were busy dealing with midterms and acne, Janet Jackson was the queen of bringing sexy to the VMA stage. Though it'd no doubt be considered tame by today's standards, Janet's exposed stomach and bra made for the hottest performance of the year."[48] Another critique found it "on point, going from sexy to high energy and intricacy," considered "easily one of her best performances, and one that most pop chicks should study."[49] The performance was introduced by actor Christian Slater, who declared Jackson to have "the sexiest bellybutton I've ever seen."[50] A studio version appears on the limited edition version of janet., while remixes entitled the "CJ FXTC Club Mix" and "CJ FXTC Bass Hit Dub" appear on janet. Remixed.
The song's performance on the janet. World Tour was regarded among its "most affecting moments" as Jackson "returned for the encore in just a flannel shirt and jeans."[11] On Number Ones, Up Close and Personal, a review stated "In fact, the more blissful the hook, the tighter she wrapped the song around her - somehow squeezing the breezy sensuality out of "That's the Way Love Goes" without suffocating it."[51]
Various artists have been inspired by the song's production, aura, and opening segment, as well as the music video's "laid back" dance environment. It has been covered by artists such as Bruno Mars and 'N Sync.[52] Britney Spears cited "That's the Way Love Goes" as the inspiration for "Touch of My Hand," appearing on Spears' fourth album In the Zone, saying "I like to compare it to 'That's the Way Love Goes,' kind of a Janet Jackson thing."[53] Additionally, MuuMuse likened the spoken word introduction of Spears' "Am I A Sinner" to a similar opening segment in Jackson's song.[54] Spears included "That's the Way Love Goes" in a playlist for Z100's Reality Radio, commenting "This is one of my favorite songs ever. I love this girl. She has the coolest abs in the world."[55] The whispered introduction in the "Bluelight Version" of Alicia Keys' "Girl on Fire" references the opening refrain of "That's the Way Love Goes."[56] A lyric comparable to the song's introduction was noted in Madonna's "Turn Up the Radio,"[57] with similar opening lines also used in Wynter Gordon's "Stimela" and Jennifer Lopez's "Step Into My World."
Destiny's Child's "Nuclear", a Neptunes production included on the compilation Love Songs, was likened to an "early '90s, "That's The Way Love Goes"-style Janet Jackson mold" for its "sampled beat recalling the best of '90s hip-pop," also compared for its "mellow, soothing lyrics over churning hip-hop beats."[58][59] Nelly Furtado cited Jackson as the inspiration for the transition displayed with her third album Loose, saying "Janet Jackson came out with "That's the Way Love Goes," and she was comfortable in her sexuality and womanhood, and that was inspiring to me."[60] Pitchfork likened Ciara's "This is What Love Is", appearing on the album Basic Instinct, to "a trance-inspired take on the breathy spoken word of Janet Jackson's vastly superior "That's the Way Love Goes."[61] Kat DeLuna stated "This song made me want to pursue music!"[62] Sampled elements of "That's the Way Love Goes" are heard in guitar riffs throughout the chorus in the "Underwater Mix" of Japanese singer Utada Hikaru's "Addicted to You."[63] Yahoo! Music considered Mariah Carey and Miguel's "#Beautiful" "one of the most appealing summer jams since Janet Jackson's "That's The Way Love Goes".[64] Jackson has evoked the song's feel in several recordings, with People Magazine describing several cuts on Damita Jo reminiscent of its "lush sensual rush."[65] "Feels So Right" from All for You was likened to the song for its mellow feel.[66]
Several subsequent music videos or albums have drawn influence from the video's intimate party setting. Buzzfeed likened the overall feel of Jhené Aiko's debut EP Sail Out to the "kickback" ambiance of the "That's the Way Love Goes" video, "but while sitting in clouds of smoke rather than dancing."[67] Scenes in Ciara's "Body Party" video were influenced by the video's "laid-back" setting as well as Jackson's "Go Deep."[68][69] Ciara's performance at the 2013 BET Awards was thought to be inspired by Jackson's performance of the song at the MTV Video Music Awards.[70] The opening setting of Ciara's "Never Ever," which featured Young Jeezy, was also observed to be similar.[71] The setting, choreography, and wardrobe worn by lead dancer Danielle Curiel in Prince's "Breakfast Can Wait" video were observed to have a similar feel to Jackson's "That's the Way Love Goes" and "If" videos.[72][73] Curiel commented "After "Breakfast Can Wait" came out everyone said it reminded them of those videos, so I went and watched them on YouTube I could definitely see the similarities."[74] The "throw back" style of Toni Braxton's "Make My Heart" video was described as reminiscent of the clip.[75] Jessi Malay cited Jackson's "confident, sexy" and "in control" image in the video as an influence, saying "Janet is a female artist who has gotten the message out that you can be a commanding woman without losing your femininity and sexuality."[76]
Critics have observed elements similar to the video's somber vibe and infamous setting in several films and television series. A golden-hued setting from the film Spartacus: Vengeance was compared to the video by Logo's The Backlot.[77] The locale in an episode of American Horror Story: Coven titled "Fried Chicks" was likened to the video, with Vulture.com saying "Fiona is having her hair done on the set of "That's the Way Love Goes"."[78] Jackson's black ensemble during this period were prominent influences in fashion. In 2011, Elle Magazine described a Catherine Malandrino black dress as reminiscent of Jackson's outfit worn in the clip.[79]
Several celebrities and musicians have praised the song and its video. Robin Thicke revealed Jackson to be his first celebrity crush, saying "the video for "That's the Way Love Goes," my friends and I would watch that and be like, Whoa."[80] In 2011, Simon Cowell stated "I love Janet Jackson's That's the Way Love Goes" when asked who was the most played artist on his iPod.[81] Tyra Banks included it in a playlist for iTunes, calling it "great for a photo shoot when you're all wrapped up in white sheets and need to portray sex."[82] Christina Aguilera included it among her favorite songs on her APE radio station.[83] Kim Kardashian also tweeted praise for the song.[84] In 2011, Christina Milian mentioned it as one of her favorite songs, commenting "I thought she was so hot, and I wanted to be like her."[85] Diplo's artist Benzi included a remix in a mix released for the "Diplo and Friends" series.[86] DJ Stylus obtained the knowledge of assembling "the right combination of people" and playing "the right tunes" at shows from the song's music video, saying "I think that idea was first planted in my mind by this video."[87] DJ AM played the song by request during Lindsay Lohan's twenty-second birthday.[88]
"That's the Way Love Goes" is among Jackson's signature songs, recognized for its vocals, innovation, and "timeless" aura. It was considered an alternative to popular radio trends and essential part of Jackson's artistic growth, signifying a massive shift in her music and image. It has been cited as an inspiration by Britney Spears, Alicia Keys, Nelly Furtado, and Destiny's Child. The song is ranked among Blender's "500 Greatest Songs Since You Were Born," placing at number four in VH1's "Greatest Songs of the '90s" in 2012. Yahoo! Music described it as a "silky, sultry, and iconic smash that sounds as good today as it did in 1993," adding "it went all the way to the top of Billboard's Hot 100 where it remained for eight weeks."[89] Billboard praised its structure and longevity, saying "That indelible refrain: "Like a moth to the flame / burned by the fire / my love is blind / can't you see my desire?" That slinky Jam & Lewis beat. Even at 20 years old, this Janet jam can still ignite any house party, much like the one in its music video." The publication exclaimed it to be "a sexual awakening for both Jackson and American culture"; classified as one of "the most sexually frank to reach the upper reaches of the charts at the time."[1][90]
The L.A. Times considered it "one of the most endearing pieces of romantic pop confection of the '90s," as well as "the most seductive slice of daydream romanticism in years."[11][91] GuidetoGay called it "equally sexy" as her image, "but unlike Madonna's 'Erotica', 'janet.' left more to the imagination." "While most expected her to return with an in-your-face dance track, Jackson "eased in the side door" with a more soulful groove. The music video was equally laid back, showing Jackson chilling with her dancers - one of whom was a then unknown Jennifer Lopez."[92] CNN stated the song memorably "set the mood for a sultry summer," while Vulture.com recalled it "slinked its way easily onto summer mix tapes".[93][94] Additionally, it was declared "the epitome of bedroom slow-jams," among the album's "several iconic hits" which helped define the decade.[95] Newsday considered "That's the Way Love Goes" among Jackson's singles which "changed the course of pop," applauding the "all-purpose, feel-good hit," saying "unlike most summer anthems, "That's the Way Love Goes" doesn't have a gimmick. It's just straight-up cool. [...] It got heads bobbin' in countless cars. It filled dance floors with folks finger- pointing along with the chorus. It became an essential part of the soundtrack to barbecues and beach parties. With its laid-back beat and Jackson's sultry- sweet vocals, it doesn't get you excited as much as puts a smile on your face, which may explain why it was never grating despite its omnipresence."[96][97] Gold Stripe Magazine stated "When we think of the 90s, we think of baggy boyfriend jeans, crop tops, big hair, and house parties. Janet Jackson was one woman who defined the decade. On the scene, she was the total package: sexy, talented, and a softspoken sweetheart."[98]
"This song is all about the audacity of chill — it bumped its way into pop culture 19 years ago to launch Janet's fifth album ... janet. Instead of hitting us in the face with any of the album's many uptempos, Jan, Jam and Lewis teased the set with the relaxed hip-hop soul of "That's the Way Love Goes." The album it comes from was all about her sexual blossoming, and here's where the petals started to move. The song relies on deceptively gripping hooks (earworms are never chill and this is crawling with them) and exploits Janet's musical muttering [possibly] better than anything before or since. For not demanding too much and letting her just ooze, this song resulted in the vocal performance of the woman's career."
Slant Magazine praised it as a "subtler alternative" to radio trends by artists such as Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men, adding "with its measured hip-hop loop and titular one-line hook, the song was sleek, smart, and sexy—everything you didn't expect from the lead single from a Janet album."[100] Furthermore, an anecdote stated "this song smashed records worldwide, and heralded the arrival of a grown woman comfortable with her own sexuality. Fans and music lovers were left gaping in awe as Janet shed away her military style outfits and did away with her tomboy looks, resurfacing as a strong confidant woman and a global pop icon with the release of her 1993 iconic album 'Janet.', which went on to produce 6 consecutive top 10 hits including 2 # 1 singles, and pushed her ahead of her contemporaries Madonna and Whitney Houston."[101] Several critics applauded the song's opening refrain as "seductive," "memorable," and "hypnotic", with a particular review exclaiming "Janet makes it read like poetry." The analysis continued "realistically, no one had any reason to think she was sexy enough to pull it off. Where Janet used to hint at getting it in, she now openly admitted to wanting it without hesitation; "Go deeper baby, deeper...you feel so good I wanna cry." At 25, it made sense for her to give up the coyness of her earlier years. But, who knew she'd pull it off quite so well?"[102] Heidi-Siegmund Cuda of The New York Times declared the song to have a profound affect in clubs, saying "love was in the air, as couples lapped it up and slinked along to the beat." [103] An additional anecdote stated it "featured a sexy video and just a groove and beat that you just can help but fall in love with. The sultry vocals of Janet Jackson and that hypnotic groove ceases to get old."[104] Soul Train called its era "all about Ms. Janet Jackson," saying the song "reigns supreme in the warm weather months," adding "that sultry, silky voice that Jackson brings to the table, combined with hot, sexy lyrics made this song one of the year's best." The video was heralded as "all kinds of fly and fashion forward." [105]
Rich Juzwiak of Gawker calls "That's the Way Love Goes" a "classic" that "everyone's heard a million times," asking "Have you listened to this song lately? Like, really listened to it, not just took it for granted as the pop wallpaper that megahits can become over time? It's worth it." Juzwiak applauded its "hypnotic" tempo and vocals, noting the pivotal role the song and its video played in Jackson's career evolution.[99] An additional evaluation called its release "strategic timing," commending Jackson's attempt to "urge the label to go with something that was romantic, grown and laid-back" rather than leading "with a big dance record", declaring it "at a minimum, a genius move." Jackson's "broad appeal" allowed the song to thrive on pop, urban, and adult contemporary formats, adding "It still sounds fresh to this day, and I'd be willing to bet that people who aren't even die-hard Janet fans have always been in love with this single."[106] Buzzfeed ranked its music video as Jackson's fourth best, praising its "house party" theme.[107] The clip aided Jackson in becoming known for her trademark abs. It also set fashion trends among youth, described to have "sent adolescents streaming into stores asking for "Janet Jackson necklaces."[23] Furthermore, its "sex-drenched refrain" was praised as "a silky smooth flirt-fest that can set any house-party on fire"; as the video depicts Jackson "incidentally sports abs that desperately deserve the Nobel Prize." It was heralded as a "supreme baby-making extravaganza" based on "Janet's slinky soul drenched vocals," adding "As Janet sensually coos 'Don't mind if I light candles, I'd like to watch us play, baby I've got on what you like…', it's really, REALLY hard not to think about getting it on. Easily, iconic." [108]
"That's the Way Love Goes" received a Grammy Award for Best R&B Song and was also nominated for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. It received a BMI Pop Award for "Most Played Song," various Billboard awards, and sales awards internationally. Sirius XM's Cosmo Radio listed it among the "top 10 most requested, super-sexy songs of all time", selected by "male and female listeners and celebrity guests."[116] In 2012, VH1 included "That's the Way Love Goes" in a list of songs thought to induce thoughts of sex and passion.[117] In 2009, AOL Radio ranked it number seven in a list of ten "Best Sex Songs."[118] It was included in Blender's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs Since You Were Born," also ranked among VH1's "Greatest Songs of the '90s" in 2012.[119]

Chart positions[edit]
"That's the Way Love Goes" also reached number one on Billboard's Hot 100 Airplay, Hot R&B Airplay, and Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales charts. The song became the biggest selling and longest reigning number one hit by a female artist in South Africa.

Q:Hey DM, do you have any plans on recording a new solo album any time soon ? I really liked Heavy Ghost ! I bought it after seeing you opening for Sufjan Stevens in Essen (Germany) back in 2011. Haven't listened to it for a while, but when I saw your name in the liner notes to Son Lux' Lanterns (that is you on "Plan the Escape", right ?), I got excited to hear some new stuff of yours. I hope you haven't given up on your solo work, I find it rather original ! Yours truly, Philipp
Hi Philipp - Thanks for the note. That is me on Plan the Escape (and on another one too, I think… So long ago now that it's hard to remember). Yeah, I've got lots of music to share! Just sorting out logistics right now. I've finished several albums over the last couple years, but for one reason or another, it's seemed important to wait to release things until I'm prepared to get out there and hawk em. My growing pains as an artist got amplified by the changes in the industry, and, well, changes in myself too, and they knocked me out for a bit. But things are coalescing right this moment — worked all this year with producer Ben Hillier on a new album which I started writing from scratch in January 2013 (with the exception of one song that's been hanging around for a while), found myself a manager, made a lot of great friends with good heads on their shoulders, good hearts in their chests, spent the better part of four months recording in London, and have now moved back to Brooklyn to be closer to the heart of things.
So, yes, new music soon. In the meantime, invest some ear time on my work under the name The Revival Hour:

There's an update on the band on their website:
Thanks to everyone who came out to see us in Europe this year! I think I speak for everyone involved when I say it was a perfectly lovely month on the road and everyone we met who came to the show made us glad we'd finished the album and decided to hit the road. Here's where we're at now individually:
JM: moved to Texas, just moved into his new place, is developing a podcast called One Hit Wondering, starts his first Twitter Account, and continues to remix, produce, write, drink cocktails, raise a fabulous dog.
Joe: continues to make amazing music with his band Fair Ohs, travels to Mexico with his lady friend, probably bringing his karate uniform with him…
Robin: touring the world with Yann Tiersen, releases solo record via Scissor Tail Recordings, probably making a hilarious Vine.
Me (DM): finishing up recording a solo album with producer Ben Hillier, working on more songs with Yuuki Matthews, Sufjan, Aaron Roche, Serafina Steer (soon please?), and trying to find an apartment in Brooklyn.
The Rev Ho: as a group, we're working on finishing some new songs, including one for an upcoming Red Hot compilation.
I love lists. Say Hi sometime!
TL;DR: DM is finishing a new album, The Revival Hour is finishing some new songs, one for a new Red Hot compilation (!).
DM Stith's new tumblr banner (it's a detail of the word "STITH", I think).
Does this mean anything in terms of his upcoming album(s)? Maybe, maybe not, but still very cool lookin'.

Six games into Saturday's match against Rolling Meadows' Mack Galvin, St. Charles East senior Jasper Koenen found himself in an unexpected hole.
Koenen trailed 4-2 in the first set but pulled out a 6-4, 6-1 victory against Galvin, the highest-rated returnee in the Mid-Suburban League.
"I'm definitely off to a good start this season," Koenen said after improving to 7-0. "I was hoping for a fast start. It was nice to play a tough match. I needed that early this season, something to push me. I had a great comeback. It was definitely needed to keep me motivated."
The Saints didn't open the season until last week, when they played seven matches in six days. Koenen finished fourth at state last season after losing to eventual champion Martin Joyce of Hinsdale Central in a semifinal. Koenen is targeting several goals this season.
"I really want to be in East's 100-win club," he said. "I need 10 or 11 to reach 100. I didn't compete in the conference tournament last season, but have won three straight sectional titles. I would like to win both. I'm just focusing on each match."
Koenen chose Michigan State after considering many college choices. At first, Koenen preferred a school with a warmer climate but realized playing near home and in the Big Ten would be a better fit.
"I had a long recruiting process with a lot of different options and choices," he said. "I was hoping to go down south, but my game is better suited for the indoors. I also wanted to go to a school that was good at a lot of different sports, and I want to work in the hospitality business and Michigan State is a good school for that. I felt not a lot of schools offer that."
As a team, the Saints are off to a 6-1 start after opening last season with two straight losses and 3-4 record.
"We're off to a good start and playing a lot better than last season," St. Charles East coach Robert Livermore said. "Jasper's been a big key. He had a nice win Saturday, and is playing very good."

Well, technically, your "CupidWithFriends" profile, which is conveniently designed to look almost identical to that other, more famous Cupid-oriented dating site, right down to the font. But weird, subtle copyright infringement isn't the point here. The point, actually, is that your friends are likely monsters. Monsters who never, ever want you to find love.
At least, that seems to be the takeaway from the Observer's exploration of this shaky new online dating venture, the crux of which is that users create and edit their friends' profiles, rather than their own. Rather than "doing a nice thing for a person you ostensibly care about," most people seem to be using the site to make a lot of masturbation jokes about their friends. Like the shitty, internet dating equivalent of what happens when you leave your Facebook logged in on someone else's computer. Terrible.
On the plus side, the site — which connects to users' Facebook accounts — does display the name and profile picture of the people who write this stuff on your profile, so if your friends are having a total field day at your expensive, you'll at least know who's doing it.
So, maybe not "the bestest dating site on Earth," as the CupidWithFriends people claim, or even a remotely productive addition to the dating scene, but definitely a productive new venue for masturbation jokes of every possible kind. Just what the internet needs.

Gary Johnson – "Libertarian" Candidate – is Out of His Element
In an interview with the Daily Caller, presumptive Libertarian Party nominee for president Gary Johnson tries heartily to describe his foreign policy…or at least a foreign policy. Plainly put, the man is confused. He says he supports U.S. military intervention in Uganda to root out the Lords Resistance Army and kill its leader, Joseph Kony. He thinks the drone war in Pakistan and Yemen creates more enemies than it eliminates, but doesn't want to take drone strikes off the proverbial "table." He wants to "completely withdraw our military presence" from Afghanistan, but wants to keep our military bases there. In fact, U.S. military bases should be maintained throughout the Middle East, he says, even though America faces "no military threats." He supports "humanitarian intervention.": http://antiwar.com/blog/2012/04/12/gary-johnson-libertarian-...

Well I think Ive kept my promise in pulling these last animations a bit faster and Ill continuing, but I think I'll start making shorter ones to pull them faster and to spend more time on graphics, in my opinion I prefer to watch a short but with sweet visuals animation that a long one with no quality. but anyway...
Thank you...*tear*
I've been waiting for what seemed like an eternity for this. This was, by far, the best of the three. Keep up the good work...just don't take so long next time.

Oh man, I waited so, so, so ,sooooooooooo long for this. How dare you keeping me waiting?!?! The Real Legend has been my favorite peace of work for years! And when I had already given up on seeing the sequel, BAM! FRONT PAGE! Oh my....
Anyways, I`m glad you decided to continue this wonderfull peace of work. This one is great. The grafics got better, improved, more mature I would say. And the additional voices were a good choice, nice touch. I liked your dub though (^-^). Excelent work. Hope the sequel is out soon. Please, continue to amuse me.

@TECHREPORT{Banerjee01asimple, author = {Anindya Banerjee and David A. Naumann and Anindya Banerjee A and David A. Naumann B}, title = {A Simple Semantics and Static Analysis for Java Security}, institution = {}, year = {2001}}
Security in Java depends on an access control mechanism specified operationally in terms of run-time stack inspection. We give a denotational semantics in "eager" form, and show that it is equivalent to the "lazy" semantics using stack inspection. We give a static analysis of safety, i.e., the absence of security errors, that is significantly simpler than previous proposals. We identify several program transformations that can be used to remove run-time checks. We give complete, detailed proofs for safety of the analysis and for the transformations, exploiting compositionality of the "eager" semantics.

Avery Storm - Tell Me
Artist: Avery Storm
Producer: Blast Off Productions
Album: On the Line EP
Avg Rating: 3.4 ( 5 total votes )
Avery Storm's last Booth feature, a cover of Miike Snow's Animal, gave us a foretaste of what the singer/songwriter could do when it was just him and an acoustic guitar. Spare and haunting, his version of the record brought out a level of emotional depth only hinted at in the original. Now, on the latest single off his independent studio debut, he applies a similar strategy to one of his own compositions—with similarly intimate, arresting results. On Tell Me, a percussive guitar strum is the sole accompaniment to Storm's verses, which find him apologizing for his missteps in a past relationship, and pleading with her to let him back into her life. Only a few subtle effects and Avery's overdubbed harmonies testify to the fact that the joint was a studio production rather than a candid, live performance. An unknown director amplifies the cut's effect with some candid, understated official visuals. For this poignant jam and much more, cop the artist's On the Line EP when it hits record stores and online retailers October 16.

Help Girls Melt Faces!
Rachel Sholly fundraising for GIRLS ROCK RHODE ISLAND
Help me raise $1000 for Girls Rock! RI so they can help girls and women empower themselves through music!
Hey Friends!
You probably know that I play drums in a band and LOVE it. What you may not know is that I only mustered the confidence to start playing seriously after I participated in Ladies Rock Camp in 2010. The camp was organized by Girls Rock! Rhode Island, and man was it one of the most empowering experiences of my life.
In just 3 days, about 25 of us ladies learned how to play our instruments, formed bands, wrote original songs and performed them on stage in front of a ton of people!
Girls Rock also runs a camp for girls (they get 5 days - no fair!). I volunteer for these camps when I can and it's the coolest feeling to help young girls play rock music for the first time and feel the confidence that inevitably results.
Imagine how much more unstoppable I'd be today if this kind of thing existed when I first wanted to play drums back in 7th grade! Let's make this dream come true for girls today...
Please donate whatever you can and help give more girls and women the opportunity to get on that stage and MELT FACES!
Learn more about the work of this amazing organization at girlsrockri.org. Or if you'd rather look at pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/girlsrockri/

Twas the Night Before Christmas...
Merry Christmas Eve! I can't believe another Christmas is here already. I love the holiday season. The music, the lights, the cookies and most especially the getting together with families and friends. This year is especially cool, because we will in essence have a white Christmas (a great holiday movie, btw). We haven't had snow either in the sky or on the ground at Christmas in a long time. So even though the snow is residual it will still help the day be "merry and bright" to quote the song.
For me Christmas Eve was a fairly easy day. I had some last minutes shopping to do today. My trek to the mall wasn't as crazed as expected and I must admit I really enjoy the newly remodeled mall. It's all shiny and bright. LOL! Suffice it to say, I succesfuly accomplished my shopping mission and I hope the gift recipient will be quite happy with this item. The rest of my day was spent getting a little work done. I've designed and manage websites for a few friends. While I did that, I enjoyed the GhostHunters marathon. I just love that show, coupled with the fact that I love television marathons. I've discovered a number of shows that became favorites because of tv marathons. It was nice to have a day to just unwind and not run around crazed.
At any rate, I hope everyone gets some time amongst the bustle of visiting family, cooking, and cleaning to simply relax and enjoy the holiday. Travel safely to wherever the day will take you.
"...Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight."

Phoenix Suns say goodbye to season, each other
Originally published: Apr 17, 2014 - 2:41 pm
National pundits fell in love with their enthusiasm for the game and up-tempo style of play; and then recanted preseason predictions of 17-23 wins and labeling them the 15th-worst team in the Western Conference.
"It was my pleasure to show the people that they were wrong," Goran Dragic said.
The 2013-14 Phoenix Suns proved, more than anything, that yes, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts -- a collection of castoffs and young talent can succeed when egos are pushed aside and everyone, from management to coaches to players, works toward a common goal.
With their victory at Sacramento on Wednesday, the Suns finished the season 48-34, joining the 2007-08 Golden State Warriors as the winningest teams to not make the playoffs since the field expanded to 16 teams in 1984.
"It's a good thing and a bad thing, I guess," P.J. Tucker said after the team met one final time on Thursday morning. "We worked really hard this year. Nobody thought we'd be in the position we were in in the last couple of weeks of the season to be able to make the playoffs, so that's kind of cool. But we really felt like we had a chance to make it and we should of made it.
"It still hurts. It's still fresh so it still hurts."
The Suns finished one game behind 8th place Dallas (49-33) in the West.
"I don't think we have our heads down, but at the same time it's still disappointing because we feel like we were just so close," Gerald Green said.
This summer will go a long way into determining how they close the gap and end what has now become a four-year postseason drought.
The foundation has been poured under first-year GM Ryan McDonough and first-year head coach Jeff Hornacek. It's now a matter of how they build around players, such as Dragic and Eric Bledsoe, who showed a two point guard backcourt can work in the NBA.
Much of the 15-man roster is expected to return. Leandro Barbosa and Emeka Okafor, who missed the entire reason due to neck rehabilitation, are unrestricted free agents. Bledsoe is a restricted free agent, as is Tucker. Channing Frye has a player option at $6.8 million for next season, while the Suns hold team options on Dionte Christmas, Shavlick Randolph and Ish Smith. Everyone else is under contract.
"I know it sounds super clich�, but I've never been on a team like this," Smith said. "I think that's a little bit more bitter, knowing that whenever we were doing things, we all did it together. It was kind of like high school when�you're just out there playing for each other and having fun."
As hard as the front office will try to keep the group together, it will be that much harder to recapture the spirit of this season.
The biggest change moving forward, however, will be the expectations.
"We set the bar pretty high for ourselves, and I like that. The guys are already talking about what they're going to work on and what we need to work on," Frye said. "After the game we were all just talking on the bus, like �man, next year we can't wait to do to A, B, C and D.' When you have guys like that I think the future is bright for us."

I usually use ebay, seems to be cheaper than 3rd party sites like stubhub.
Looks good to me. We will probably play at least 5 or 6 ranked teams in the conference not including B1G tourney. Just keep scheduling a few really good programs that get us ready for the B1G season. I don't think scheduling a SEC bottom feeder is much better than Sacred Heart or Miami.
But Wait, There's More!!!
Good beer, but not as good as "Chillwave" imo which is what they had to change the name of Alchemy hour to.
Drinking a Ommegang Hennepin right now, really good farmhouse saison. Highly recommend anything from them including the three philosophers quad ale. Also, evil twin has some really great porters and stouts if that is your style, just picked up 2 imperial doughnut breaks.
I wonder how well this prepares them for the season? I bet it is mostly a reward for the players.
Would there be any attendance advantage to OSU over Bama in the rose bowl? I am not sure how well bama travels, but we usually have a good crowd on the west coast.
A lot of young talent on this team. Excited for this season.
Sterling thinks they are worth 5 Billion. He may not be that crazy since the new TV deal in 2016 will boost profits.
They also spend a lot. Some people think that big clubs like Real Madrid, Man U and Man City in debt.
He seems to be distributing quite well tonight. Nice play at the end of the quarter.
No, I never thought that Hogan would turn in to a bad guy. But, I think people actually ended up liking the NWO not just liking to hate them.

"Gentlemen! (Hold me, you pigs!) Our sun (Gustav III) was drenched in blood, but has risen again to shine in another world, for by thousand devils was not Gustav a beam of the eternal light! The image I've made of him is but trash, but we keep his image in our hearts and there it will live for as long as we have a single drop of blood in our veins. A toast to Gustav III, our father and benefactor!" - Johan Tobias Sergel, at the unveiling of his statue of the Swedish king Gustav III.
Dies iræ! Dies illa
Solvet sæclum in favilla:
Teste David cum Sibylla!
Quantus tremor est futurus,
Quando iudex est venturus,
Cuncta stricte discussurus!
So then I lay in hiding
Till my stepmother came riding.
By the bridgehead I lay watching
Till I saw her horse approaching.
And as she passed I caught her
And down from her horse I brought her.
Through blood, screams and nightly gloom
I tore the child from her womb
And when i had drunk my brother's blood,
I became a knight, gallant and good.
- A rough translation of a swedish medieval song about a man being transformed into a wolf by his stepmother, and taking cruel vengeance on her.
I saw so many young men I'de known before;
Who from the bay of Viborg came home no more
Gustavus II Adolphus, the great. The lion of the north, the golden king.
His horse, streiff, that he rode the day he was killed. His pistols, part of his clothing, his sword and a banner flown at the fateful battle that cost him his life is also shown.
Hero and king, he fell leading his men at the battle of Lützen, anno 1632.
