Following both a short live return last April as well as a recorded one via the release of this year's Decline & Fall EP, industrial metal mammoths Godflesh have officially announced details for their upcoming LP, A World Lit Only By Fire, the group's first since 2001's Hymns. Set to be unleashed October 6th via frontman Justin K. Broadrick's very own Avalanche Recordings, track listing and artwork for A World Lit Only By Fire can be viewed below in addition to a stream of the battering debut single "New Dark Ages", a number which mirrors the trudge and grime of the group's early discography. According to some investigation by metal site Blabbermouth who tracked down an interview by Broadrick with French station Le 106, you can expect more of the same on the full-length. Both Godflesh practitioners, Green and Broadrick noted in the radio interview that Fire will be a return to form, adhering to the initial essence of the band and the direction and spirit of the first three releases.

Review: THE BANNER – "Born To Ruin I"
From the opening drum roll your doubts are soon laid to rest as it
becomes readily apparent that early '00s dark hardcore stalwarts
The Banner still know how to bring da muthaf*ckin' ruckus!
GODFLESH Streaming New EP "Decline and Fall"
The new EP from the industrial metal tyrants Godflesh, Decline and Fall, can now be streamed in its entirety after the break. The four-track effort is slated to precede the band's forthcoming full length album, A World Lit Only By Fire, which is due out sometime in September. Stream the new EP below and feel the heaviness.
BLUT AUS NORD Streaming New Track "De Librio Arbitrio"
Black metal greats Blut Aus Nord will release a new split with France's P.H.O.B.O.S. and one of the formers contributions to the split (titled Triunity) has been unleashed. It's a phenomenal feat and it's most definitely the Blut Aus Nord I know and love. The split will see release next month overseas, I have no idea about the domestic release, but you can stream "De Librio Arbitrio" after the jump. GET SOME. Continue reading
GODFLESH Streaming New Track "Ringer"
For the love of all things industrial, Godflesh has returned and it is magnificent. The band hasn't released new music since 2001's Hymns but the band will be releasing their new EP Decline And Fall, which is due out late next month. The band has just released their new track "Ringer" and it is a phenomenal piece of music. As a long time fan of Godflesh, I am so stoked that they are back and still crushing. Check out "Ringers" after the jump if you know what's good for you. Continue reading
No Fun, Not Ever: HAVE A NICE LIFE Drop New Song From Forthcoming Album
Infamous Connecticut duo Have a Nice Life is a project I've just started to dig into with their sole 2008 album Deathconsciousness taking up much of my listening habits lately. It's a fantastic album, and I'm diving into it just in time for the band's sophomore LP The Unnatural World to come along and shake up the band's all-too-long dormancy. If "Burial Society" is any indication, this will be just as worthy a follow-up to such a revered album as any.

They're Thieves!: LIMP BIZKIT Release MINISTRY Cover
I hate Limp Bizkit, but I do love Ministry. It is at this point that I am in the midst of a dilemma. Limp Bizkit have released their cover of Ministry's "Thieves" for free download and while you may love one of the bands, are you obligated to download a track by a band you despise? NO! Why? Because Ministry did it better than Bizkit could ever hope to. You can stream both versions after the jump and if you're feeling all moist hearing Bizkit's cover, you can download it here.

GODFLESH Officially Reschedule U.S. Tour Dates
Godflesh have recently announced the rescheduled tour dates for their recently postponed U.S. tour that was supposed to commence this month. Opening acts have yet to be announced, though the group would like to retain the openers of Nails, House of Low Culture and Prurient. Below you can find the new April tour dates.
THEOLOGIAN Streaming New Album
If you're in the mood for some terrifying, anxiety inducing soundscapes then may I introduce you to the dark industrial/noise act Theologian. The outfit will release its new malevolent piece, entitled Some Things Have to Be Endured, on October 15th via Crucial Blast. Luckily, Crucial Blast's Bandcamp page has the entire record up for streaming. You can stream this creepy little bastard after the jump. Physical copies for purchase will be announced soon after the record's release.
Let GODFLESH Fuck You To Death: SLAUGHTER Cover Available For Streaming
Godflesh recently covered the Slaughter song "F.O.D. (Fuck of Death" from their 1987 album Strappado for a special flexi-disc for the November 2013 issue of Decibel Magazine. The cover version has classic Godflesh written all over it with its sludgy pace, industrial drums, and down-tuned guitars. You can stream the original Slaughter track after the break and Godflesh's cover here.
Godflesh's new studio album, A World Lit Only By Fire, will be released sometime in 2014.
CORRECTIONS HOUSE Premiere New Track "Bullets And Graves"
We've heard "Serve or Survive". We've heard "Run Through the Night". Now with Corrections House's (Neurosis, Yakuza, etc) first full length Last City Zero to arrive late next month, the "supergroup" are building more hype with the premiere of new track "Bullets and Graves" over at Revolver. In contrast to the previously released tracks, "Bullets and Graves" is an aggressive full throttle, cacophonous dirge of industrial noise. It's like Downward Spiral-era Nine Inch Nails track on a ludicrous amount of anabolic steroids. You can stream the new track after the break and be sure to pick up the album when it hits shelves on October 29th.
CZAR Streaming New Track "Aortic Flower"
Chicago's Czar have premiered a new track from their forthcoming album No One Is Alone If No One Is Alive (November 5th), over at Revolver. This new track is entitled "Aortic Flower" and hits with down-tuned riffs from hell and overbearing heaviness. You can stream this new industrial metal freak-fest after the break if you wish.
CZAR Detail Forthcoming Sophomore LP
The Chicago metal trio Czar have released the information of their forthcoming second full length album and follow up to 2011's Vertical Mass Grave. The new album sports the highly positive title No One Is Alone If No One Is Alive and will be released through the band's own Cracknation Records on November 5th. The band recorded these ten new tracks with producer and ex-Hum frontman yet again. Keep reading to check out the artwork, track listing and stream Czar's first full length.

Check out This Mind-Blowing SFX Tutorial That Shows Some Skin for Less Than $250
You know — there's more than one way to skin a guy's arm. The London-based filmmakers of the short film He Took His Skin Off For Me have come up with a unique and intriguing premise for a film: a "story of a man who takes his skin off for his girlfriend, and why it probably wasn't the best idea." If that's blowing your mind right now, just take a gander at their tutorial that shows you how they created the "skinless" SFX. If you have $250 and a team of dedicated and talented artists and filmmakers, you could be well on your way to making excuses to make a film about people with no skin. Check out the tutorial, videos, photos, and a few words from director Ben Aston after the jump.
Alright, did I mention that these SFX are mind-blowing? Well — they are. I have an affinity for affordable SFX for indie filmmakers, namely because SFX and VFX can be costly enough to limit your creativity. When cost doesn't enter the equation, in any and all areas of filmmaking, that's when we see the unencumbered and unhindered filmmaker shine.
Here is some test footage they shot:
Aston said that the team spent less than $250 on materials — and the skinned arm looks incredibly realistic, which is no surprise. Special Effects Artist Colin Arthur, former assistant to stop-motion legend Ray Harryhausen, has been enlisted to mentor the filmmakers on the project. The SFX artists studied the anatomy of a human in preparation, painstakingly sculpted each muscle group in chavant, then carefully painted the "skinless" body using Skin Illustrator. Aston told NFS:
We knew we wanted to go practical as we love the way it photographs and wanted to make sure someone watching the footage really FELT that there was something there. Jen Cardno was the SFX supervisor. She spearheaded the cast of the hand and the moulding of the muscle pieces. Tom Smith and Hermes Pittakos handled additional moulding, painting and application. We approached it knowing we had to follow the anatomical form, but also knowing we had an element of poetic licence.
Here are a few photos from the creation of the skinless arm:
If you're interested in learning more, you can find the tutorial here, which offers incredibly in-depth explanations on how they achieved the realistic look they were going for.
He Took His Skin Off For Me currently has a campaign on Kickstarter. Check out the video below:
Even though they recently reached their goal of almost $11,000, the filmmakers are looking to reach their stretch goal of a little over $15,000 in order to afford to film the rest of the movie on a less restrictive schedule.
Since getting their actor in full makeup eats up the majority of the time they have to shoot, having time on their side would allow them to invest more in the actual filming of their film (what a concept, huh?)
Time is money, especially on a film set. The lengthy makeup application means we will only ever have a handful of hours in a shooting day to deliver the sequences you want to see! If we only shoot for 4 days we have to significantly cut back on the what we can show, both in terms of story and a SFX. We want to have the freedom to accomplish EVERYTHING in maria's story and deliver on the promise of the SFX team. A whole extra day of shooting is going to give the team more time to ensure the team is able to make this film the BEST it can possibly be.
Their Kickstarter page and their how-to guide are definitely worth taking a look at. I'm truly amazed by these artists' work.
What do you think of the methods these filmmakers used for their SFX? What are your go-to budget SFX techniques? Let us know in the comments.

- He Took His Skin Off For Me website
- He Took His Skin Off For Me campaign — Kickstarter
We're all here for the same reason: to better ourselves as writers, directors, cinematographers, producers, photographers... whatever our creative pursuit. Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!
Common sense on 08.3.13 @ 6:19PM
Movies should not rely too much on vfx and more on story!!!!!
V Renée on 08.3.13 @ 6:28PM
Agreed — but obviously that's not the case here.
steve on 08.3.13 @ 6:33PM
Did you see the title of the movie? In this case the VFX is the story.
V Renée on 08.3.13 @ 6:57PM
VFX for the sake of story: good
VFX for the sake of VFX: not so good
This film: VFX for the sake of story
Matt on 07.13.14 @ 7:41AM
I have to say I disagree here, it is a bit of a case of "how can we fit a story around this cool SFX we have come up with", Which is fine in some contexts… but:
Whilst I think this would make an excellent conceptual art film, listening to his rationale and description of the desired longer film and story in the kickstarter video, "the perils of living without skin… …getting cold at night…losing clients at work", I think he is taking what in reality is a ridiculous concept far too literally, which is going to make for a film that it is impossible to suspect disbelief our over.
I could be wrong and he might just be explaining it poorly, but it does feel like a story for the sake of SFX. That is, the story that it sounds like he is choosing to tell.
Plus it will always be compared to Hellraiser ;-)
Dear Readers….
All movies should be like every movie and no one should try to do anything different.
If you try to do anything different you are just dumb and should feel dumb.
Sincerely the best commenter ever…DUH
Nice simplistic take, grandma.
Nate on 08.5.13 @ 3:39AM
agreed with renee, and isn't it special effects (in-camera) — not visual effects (digital)? or am I just turned around?
Matt on 07.13.14 @ 7:30AM
Just to clarify, this is SFX not VFX.
If it's done in camera = SFX
Done in post = VFX
Brock on 08.3.13 @ 7:23PM
Fantastic! Lil' blood and satire is always fun!
Odd that 7k euros are needed for it though… my SPFX guy made 3 full blown, highly detailed bigfoot suits for 9k Canadian. He gave us a crazy good deal, but still. /shrugs/.
Long live practical FX!
Jonesy on 08.3.13 @ 8:42PM
I really really like the filmmakers. They seem so genuine and passionate. The sfx look awesome. Totally believable. But it's just too creepy for me. I can't watch it. But I applaud them for their diligence. Good work.
Great sfx.

Crypto Daddy Phil Zimmerman says surveillance society is DOOMED
Re: Nah
I don't think I have made a mistake - I made no assumptions as to why the surveillance is there. There is some merit to your cynical view, and that is what my last bit was about : whatever the true reason for the surveillance, the justification is certainly based on terrorist threats and the like, and there may come a point where someone in government is brave enough to point out that all the expenditure isn't really cost-effective.
Having said that, I guess it will never happen - for the simple reason that our own spooks are not going to accept a reduction in their capabilities as long as the rest of the world's spooks are freely monitoring us. And I can't argue with that, I suppose.
I really don't see the surveillance state being rolled back by anything resembling a popular backlash - not as things are going at the moment.
Internet-based surveillance is generally unobtrusive and I believe that most people either care little for their privacy or just assume that communications are monitored and act accordingly. By 'act accordingly' I mean that people naturally fill the snoops' logs with inane chatter.
What might kill the surveillance state would be the realisation by government bean counters that expenditure on surveillance just isn't reaping worthwhile rewards - as the ostensible targets will more likely be using more traditional means of communication.

Facebook 'manipulated' 700k users' feelings in SECRET EXPERIMENT
Dirty devious bastards
So they acknowledge direct psychological manipulation of unknowing users? That's a pretty stupid thing to do considering that amongst the vast number of FB users there must be at least some who are at one time or another in a mentally fragile state.
The Ts & Cs may refer to use of data for research purposes, but this amounts to use of the users minds for research purposes - and that sure isn't covered.
It doesn't surprise me that FB doesn't see any difference, or care if there is, but it worries the hell out of me that the researchers didn't see any need to consider the ethical implications of what they were doing.

Sci-fi series withdrawal
Re: @Phil W
No, I wasn't aware of the campaign. I get the point though - quite neat really.
@Phil W
Andromeda plots too complex??? idiots. I felt that there were unexplored/dangling threads prior to the last season that were crying out for resolution, but that last season seemed like just padding.
I guess I can't complain about SG1 too much if they were gracious enough to continue to satisfy the fans. I just felt that the magic and mystery had gone, and I really couldn't be bothered with the whole Ori thing. Still, I'll watch it again, no doubt.
It's a shame that so many decent series have been canned. But I wonder : at least they weren't allowed to outstay their welcome, leaving only fond memories.
In my view, SG1, B5 and Andromeda would all have benefited by being properly terminated at least one season early.
Re: Sci-fi series withdrawal
+1 for the Space:Above & beyond reference.
There are also, of course, the Stargate variants. I particularly enjoyed Stargate:Universe.
Farscape was mostly enjoyable - the Peacekeeper Wars washup was certainly worth the effort.
All old stuff, though. Modern ones certainly have a surfeit of teenagers.
Almost forgot : Terminator - The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Yes there are stroppy tenagers in it, but there are also unstoppable killing machines. And Summer Glau.

TrueCrypt considered HARMFUL – downloads, website meddled to warn: 'It's not secure'
The site goes out of its way to provide the information needed in order to move data away from truecrypt volumes, for all platforms - not just Windows.
This suggests that it isn't just a malicious hack or take-down of Truecrypt, but a serious atttempt to get people to move their data out of Trucrypt volumes. Therefore one might be inclined towards the theory that the developers are responding to an attempt to subvert the product, or discovery that it has already been subverted.
What is slightly puzzling is the push to download and use version 7.2. Maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't anyone with a Truecrypt volume already have an earlier version available? If an earlier version can't be trusted, why trust a new neutered version?
It boils down to whether 7.2 is truly just a cutdown decrypt-only truecrypt, or has some little extras put in to take advantage of all that lovely information being passed through it. That would be pretty audacious, I think.

Bruce Schneier sneers at IBM's NSA denials
Re: Argument is pointless
Agreed - you need to have the in-house expertise and (I like your point here) follow standards with the intention of securing your information, not just avoiding liability.
My point is mainly about the feeling that it is no longer possible to trust in others for your own security, so you have to look to your own capabilities.
Inevitably smaller companies will have to outsource in some way, but at least they should be able to address the point about keeping sensitive data in-house. And they should be aware that anyone who offers a service based on "trust me" should perhaps be avoided.
Argument is pointless
I can't be moved to waste effort analysing IBM's statement and Schneier's response. It seems to me that the existence of secret orders and mechanisms to access data, and the use of gagging orders to prevent disclosure, mean that even if IBM were telling the complete truth its customers still couldn't trust that their data hadn't been extracted.
Better to accept this reality and assume that any data which is held outside of your direct control is subject to access by government agencies (and criminals, for that matter), and design your data handling accordingly.
And that means : if your data is sensitive, keep it in house and only transmit it using encrypted channels with keys that you and the recipient alone know.
You can still comply with legal requirements for access, but at least you'll know about it.

Google lets Gmail give away your location
Remember not to e-mail the boss from a bar; Google adds tracking tech to Gmail signatures
Computerworld - Google Inc. certainly is focused on where you are and letting others in on that information.
A week after unveiling Google Latitude, which enables people to track the exact location of friends or family through their mobile devices, the company today announced that its Gmail software can now show the location of e-mail writers.
"Some time ago, I noticed how all mail systems tell you when an e-mail was written, but not where it was sent from," said Marco Bonechi, a Google software engineer, in a blog post. "Because I love to travel, the first question in many messages I receive is "Where are you?" and by the time I answer, I am often somewhere else. So in my 20% time, I wrote an experimental Gmail Labs feature that detects your location and appends the city region and country names to your signature."
Bonechi noted that people can use the new Location in Signature feature by going to the Labs tab in Gmail under Settings and then clicking on Signature Preferences.
"It'll use your public IP address to determine your location, so it may not always be that accurate," he noted. "For example, if you're at Heathrow Airport, IP detection may put you in Germany. If you want more accurate location detection, make sure your browser has a version of [Google] Gears that supports the location module. That way, Gears can make use of Wi-Fi access-point signals to recognize that you're actually in London."
Bonechi also added that users who want to keep their locations private can disable the option or delete their locations from specific e-mails.
Google's tracking technology hasn't received full support from security experts.
Just a day after Google Latitude was released, Privacy International called Google's new mapping application an "unnecessary danger" to users' security and privacy.
Simon Davies, director of the London-based privacy rights group, said in a statement that Google Latitude could be a "gift" to stalkers, prying employers and jealous partners.
But Google was quick to respond. Replying to Computerworld questions in an e-mail, a spokeswoman said the company's engineers and designers took privacy and security concerns into account when they created Google Latitude.

Father and son team Master P and Romeo have signed on to star in an upcoming horror movie set in their home state of Louisiana. In The Pig People, Romeo will play one of five teenagers who venture into a haunted forest to film a documentary about the mythical half-human, half-pig Pig People. "I've never done a horror movie before," said Romeo of the project. "It's a different kind of acting and the challenge is really allowing me to take my game to the next level. We're gonna make the audience jump out of their sears with this." Although little has been revealed about Master P's role, he will reportedly portray one of the film's villains. The Pig People is being directed by David Gueringer for Vault Film productions and is due in theaters in 2009.

East Tennessee St. Trips up Jacksonville in Rain-Shortened Affair
Related Links
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – After missing out on Friday night's game due to unrelenting rains in the area, the Jacksonville University baseball team was eager to step back onto the field and work towards a third straight Atlantic Sun victory. Unfortunately, East Tennessee State had some other ideas, and a driving rain in the mid-afternoon never gave the Dolphins a chance to get back into the ballgame. An early three-run homer from Clinton Freeman gave the Buccaneers a comfortable lead from the very beginning and ETSU held on for a 7-3 win in seven innings on Saturday afternoon at John Sessions Stadium.
East Tennessee State (19-18; 8-6 A-Sun) attacked Jacksonville starter Josh Baker early in the count and took advantage of the sophomore as he pounded the strike zone in first inning. Consecutive base hits from Jeremy Taylor and Chris Cook put two runners on for Freeman, who lifted the first offering he saw up and over the fence in right field for a 3-0 lead.
The Dolphins (13-25; 7-10 A-Sun) were not able to return the favor to ETSU starter Jimmy Nesselt. JU managed to put runners aboard in four of the first five innings, but could never come through with a two-out hit when they needed it.
In the meantime, ETSU was able to tack on a run in the top of the third when the Dolphins committed an error on what could have been an inning-ending double play. A double with a man on in the top of the sixth put the Bucs up, 5-0.
Needing a spark, Jacksonville got one from Connor Marabell. A double into left field put the sophomore in scoring position, and he scored three batters later off of a sacrifice fly from Nate Ricci for the first Dolphin run of the game. JU would add a second run before the end of the frame, with Michael Babb plating Braddock Rowe after the catcher flashed some wheels to steal second base.
Baker left the game in the top of the seventh with one down and runners on the corners, but Scott Schaub was able to erase the man on third with a nice grab down the third base line that forced Taylor into a pickle before Rowe applied the tag. Nearly out of the inning, Jacksonville walked in one run and then gave up an infield single to fall behind, 7-2, before the game reached the stretch.
With clouds looming overhead, Jacksonville wasted little time in getting after Nesselt in the bottom of the seventh. Back-to-back doubles from Dylan Dillard and Angelo Amendolare made it 7-3 and forced ETSU into its bullpen. It was the first baseman Freeman who transitioned roles and came into pitch, but he faced only two batters before the rain increased and halted the proceedings. After a delay of nearly an hour, the decision was made to call the game and cut the series short due to the field conditions.
Marabell led the JU offense on the day; going 2-of-3 and collecting his seventh double of the season.
Jacksonville will hope for better cooperation from Mother Nature on Tuesday night, visiting Gainesville to take on Florida at 7 p.m.

Redefining Health Care: Creating Value-Based Competition on Results
Here's the publisher's description of the book:
The U.S. health care system is in crisis. At stake are the quality of care for millions of Americans and the financial well-being of individuals and employers squeezed by skyrocketing costs - not to mention the stability of state and federal government budgets.
In Redefining Health Care, internationally renowned strategy expert Michael E. Porter and innovation expert Elizabeth Olmsted Teisberg reveal the underlying and largely overlooked causes of the problem and provide a powerful prescription for change. The authors argue that participants in the health care system have competed to shift costs, accumulate bargaining power, and restrict services rather than create value for patients. This zero-sum competition takes place at the wrong level - among health plans, networks, and hospitals - rather than where it matters most: in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of specific health conditions. In spite of competition among these systems, the patient care cycle is poorly coordinated. The fractured system undermines both efficiency and quality of outcomes.
Redefining Health Care lays out a breakthrough framework for redefining health care competition based on patient value over the full cycle of care - from prevention and diagnosis through recovery or long-term disease management. With specific recommendations for hospitals, doctors, health plans, employers, and policy makers, this book shows how to move to value-based competition on results that will unleash stunning improvements in quality and efficiency.

The company got into music by accident. "You get sick of hearing people talk," Simon says. "The catalogue starts getting too heady. It's only appealing to their left brain. The catalogue would be more interesting if it appealed to other people."
"We're finding our way in the sacred-music marketplace," adds co-owner Devon Christensen. "The music industry is more competitive and volatile than the book industry. We're just a little pollywog. Some of these big companies release hundreds of titles a year."
The Louisville company also has artists who aren't exactly geared toward self-promotion. "Nuns don't care if they sell records," Davis says.

Strenuous and sequency, Diamond Cutter's sharp crimpers will have your fingers begging for mercy. Thin holds and balancy moves make the start on this route one of the cruxes; stick-clipping or having a spotter on hand is recommended. Follow the crimpers and sidepulls (with the occasional nice deep horizontal) to the top.
Jimmywood section; starts about 10' right of Mammy.
4 bolts, bolted anchors.
Start requires some balance, the crux is around the second bolt, reach up for a dirty incut seam and the second clip is easier. A girl in my group is 5'3" and couldn't reach it so she clipped from the crimp. I don't remember it being sharp but it was crimpy in sections. Cool route, better than the 9's to the right

Being an anti-theist doesn't necessarily mean one cannot like (or even love) certain theisms. And there are few more fascinating theisms than the Yezidis.
Being an anti-theist doesn't necessarily mean one cannot like (or even love) certain theisms. And there are few more fascinating theisms than the Yezidis.
The Yezidis do not believe that the Peacock Angel is the Supreme God. The Supreme God created him as an emanation at the beginning of time. He was brought into manifestation in order to give the invisible, transcendental Supreme God a vehicle with which to create and administer the universe. Tawsi Melek is thus a tangible, denser form of the infinite Supreme God. In order to assist Tawsi Melek in this important role, the Supreme Creator also created six other Great Angels, who were, like the Peacock Angel, emanations of the Supreme God and not separate from him. When recounting the creation of all Seven Great Angels, the Yezidis often summarize the emanation process as follows:
Tawsi Melek was the first to emerge from the Light of God in the form of a seven-rayed rainbow, which is a form he still today continues to manifest within to them (usually as a rainbow around the Sun). But the Yezidis also claim that Tawsi Melek and the six Great Angels are collectively the seven colors of the rainbow. Therefore, the six Great Angels were originally part of Tawsi Melek, the primal rainbow emanation, who bifurcated to become the rainbow's seven colors, which are collectively the Seven Great Angels. Of the seven colors produced from the primal rainbow, Tawsi Melek became associated with the color blue, because this is the color of the sky and the heavens, which is the source of all colors.
Tawsi Melek was, therefore, both the first form of the Supreme God and one of the Seven Great Angels, which is a cosmic heptad mentioned within many religious traditions. The Jews, Christians, Persian, Egyptians all have their seven angels and creators. In the Meshefê Re, the Yezidis "Black Book," there is one passage that describes the Seven Great Angels and associates their creation with the seven days of Creation. The text first states that the Supreme God first created a pearl containing the substance or substratum of the soon-to-be physical universe, ostensibly referring to the molten mass preceding the "Big Bang" championed by modern physics. The Yezidi text then maintains that for forty thousand years this pearl sat upon a primal bird, which is quite possibly an incipient form of Tawsi Melek before he divided into the Seven Great Angels. This pearl then exploded (or became dismantled) to become the physical universe.
Such messages are the only appropriate reply to monotheists who urge us that God is Truth.
The Yezidi honour sacred trees. Women must not cut their hair. Marriage is forbidden in April. They refuse to eat lettuce, pumpkins, and gazelles. They avoid wearing dark blue because it is "too holy".
They are divided strictly into castes, who cannot marry each other. The upper castes are polygamous. Anyone of the faith who marries a non-Yezidi risks ostracism, or worse. Some weeks ago a young girl was stoned to death by her Yezidi menfolk in Iraq; she had fallen in love with a Muslim and was trying to convert.

"The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it's comprehensible"
- Albert Einstein
Einstein's quote contemplates the possibility of nature not succumbing to scientific explanations and asserts that a universe explicable by science is in fact improbable.
"The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it's comprehensible"
- Albert Einstein
Einstein's quote contemplates the possibility of nature not succumbing to scientific explanations and asserts that a universe explicable by science is in fact improbable.
One question Einstein's thought raises is why Europeans around 1500, prior to the Scientific Revolution and a demonstration that nature was so explicable, were willing to expend enormous energy in investigating nature on the assumption that it was intelligible to humans, and rationally ordered so as to admit of systematic and theoretical explanation.
This question, or one related to it, is sometimes called the "1492 problem" -- i.e., the question of why science arose around the 16th century in Europe but not at other times in other civilizations (with the possible exception of ancient Greece). The 1492 problem has met with a number of potential answers and explanatory factors: the exodus of intellectuals to Italy from Constantinople after it was sacked in 1450, the invention of the printing press, the availability of technology from European craftsmen such as low-powered telescopes, an increase in leisure time along with the rise of universities, and so on.
But one approach that perhaps uniquely characterizes 1492 Europe and ties into Einstein's thought above is that medieval Christian theology facilitated the belief that nature was amenable to scientific explanation. This is a new thought to me and I'll just quote from two books where I came across it.
A.N. Whitehead (co-author with Bertrand Russell of the Principia Mathematica) writes in Science and the Modern World:
... the greatest contribution of medievalism to the formation of the scientific movement ... is the inexpungable belief that every detailed occurrence can be correlated with its antecedents in a perfectly definite manner, exemplifying general principles. Without this belief the incredible labours of scientists would be without hope. It is this instinctive conviction, vividly poised before the imagination, which is the motive power of research: that there is a secret, a secret which can be unveiled.
In Asia, the conceptions of God were of a being who was either too arbitrary or too impersonal for such ideas to have much effect on instinctive habits of mind. ...This idea would not issue from an irrational despot, or ... from some impersonal, inscrutable origin of things. There was not the same confidence as in the intelligible rationality of a Creator, a personal being. I am not arguing that the European trust in the scrutability of nature was logically justified even by its own theology. My only point is to understand how it arose. My explanation is that the faith in the possibility of science, generated antecedently to the development of modern scientific theory, is an unconscious derivative from medieval theology.
Similarly, in Darwin's Century, historian Loren Eiseley highlights:
... the sheer act of faith that the universe possessed order and could be interpreted by rational minds... [In the 16th century] the philosophy of experimental science was not impressive. It began its discoveries and made use of its method in the faith, not the knowledge, that it was dealing with a rational universe controlled by a Creator who did not act upon whim nor interfere with the forces He had set in operation... Science ... owes its origins to this act of medieval faith that the universe can be rationally interpreted …
It's an interesting perspective, one I'd be curious to hear any thoughts about in comments.

I've run into skepticism lately about systemic bank fraud and/or law enforcement looking the other way. Here's a short diary on the systemic mortgage fraud that contributed to the housing bubble/financial crisis and a likely side effect today of the "soft on financial crime" approach by the government - systemic auto loan fraud during the recovery.
I've run into skepticism lately about systemic bank fraud and/or law enforcement looking the other way. Here's a short diary on the systemic mortgage fraud that contributed to the housing bubble/financial crisis and a likely side effect today of the "soft on financial crime" approach by the government - systemic auto loan fraud during the recovery.
First, the evidence is overwhelming that there was widespread mortgage fraud that helped prop up the subprime market in the lead up to financial crisis. From the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission:
Lenders made loans that they knew borrowers could not afford and that could cause massive losses to investors in mortgage securities. ... major financial institutions ineffectively sampled loans they were purchasing to package and sell to investors. They knew a significant percentage of the sampled loans did not meet their own underwriting standards or those of the originators. Nonetheless, they sold those securities to investors. The Commission's review of many prospectuses provided to investors found that this critical information was not disclosed.
For independent corroboration by a Columbia Business School study, see here:
This wasn't a few cases of fraud, either. According to the study, 27 percent of loans obtained by non-owner occupants misreported their true purpose, and 15 percent of loans with second liens incorrectly reported that such loans were not present.
Second, this wasn't unknown to law enforcement. Many criminal investigators knew the fraud was occurring:
CNN -- Assistant FBI Director Chris Swecker said the booming mortgage market, fueled by low interest rates and soaring home values, has attracted unscrupulous professionals and criminal groups whose fraudulent activities could cause multibillion-dollar losses to financial institutions.
"It has the potential to be an epidemic," said Swecker, who heads the Criminal Division at FBI headquarters in Washington. "We think we can prevent a problem that could have as much impact as the S&L crisis," he said.
Third, it's obvious Obama's DoJ has looked the other way. It hasn't prosecuted a single high profile case of mortgage fraud and has devoted essentially zero resources to even investigate the crime, according to an 2013 Inspector General's report:
DOJ did not uniformly ensure that mortgage fraud was prioritized at a level commensurate with its public statements. For example, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Criminal Investigative Division ranked mortgage fraud as the lowest criminal threat in its lowest crime category. Additionally, we found mortgage fraud to be a low priority, or not listed as a priority, for the FBI Field Offices we visited.
You can debate the wisdom of looking the other way on systemic mortgage fraud, but it's not really debatable that it occurred.
Finally, a plausible side effect of the "soft on financial fraud" approach by the government is that widespread fraud is ongoing, this time in the subprime auto loan market:
Auto loans to people with tarnished credit have risen more than 130 percent in the five years since the immediate aftermath of the financial crisis, with roughly one in four new auto loans last year going to borrowers considered subprime — people with credit scores at or below 640.
The New York Times examined more than 100 bankruptcy court cases, dozens of civil lawsuits against lenders and hundreds of loan documents and found that subprime auto loans can come with interest rates that can exceed 23 percent. The loans were typically at least twice the size of the value of the used cars purchased, including dozens of battered vehicles with mechanical defects hidden from borrowers.
In another echo of the mortgage boom, The Times investigation also found dozens of loans that included incorrect information about borrowers' income and employment, leading people who had lost their jobs, were in bankruptcy or were living on Social Security to qualify for loans that they could never afford.
The issue is broader than "Obama, good or bad?," it's about the effects of a financial system that's all too often captured regulators, law enforcement, and the political process.

Preamble: Recognizing that there is a war being waged by various groups of militant Islamists on multiple fronts, the U.S. has a role in trying to marginalize those groups to the point of insignificance.
Therefore, the Bird Dog Doctrine is articulated as follows:
1. This is as much an information war as a hot war. The U.S. should utilize its resources to assist the Ummah and theological community in discrediting this ideology. This assumes that the Ummah and theological community are willing to do so.

1. This is as much an information war as a hot war. The U.S. should utilize its resources to assist the Ummah and theological community in discrediting this ideology. This assumes that the Ummah and theological community are willing to do so.
2. To the extent that there is actionable intelligence that militant Islamist groups are plotting attacks on U.S. soil, we are within our self-defense rights to take those groups out.
3. For the government that harbors the militant Islamist group that conducted a major terrorist attack on U.S. soil, we our within self-defense rights to take that government down if we choose to do so, under the condition that such an operation is responsibly planned and manned. This means that, post-invasion, we are obligated to help form a sustainable government that will not harbor militant Islamist groups.
4. Our military actions should conform with the laws of war and our own rule of law. This implicitly includes minimizing civilian casualties.
5. The U.S. should always keep all diplomatic channels open at all times with all parties, but with expectations kept really low.
6. A policy that is limited to bombing from afar does not work.
7. At this current stage, the U.S. should combat militant Islamist forces with our own ground, air and naval forces, but only under the following conditions: (1) the government the U.S. is supporting is worthy of that support; (2) See Item 4 above.
8. For Muslim-majority countries, the U.S. should undertake the role of encouraging the expansion of civil liberties and political rights for all, and for equal protections for minorities.
9. For Iran, our best options are diplomacy and sanctions.
10. There is never a bad time to speak truth to power and bad behavior. Ever. There are no sacred cows.
That's pretty much it. I hope that clarifies things and keeps liberals from putting words in my mouth. I left out counterinsurgency doctrine because it was abandoned in Iraq and it didn't work in Afghanistan. It no longer applies. If Item 3 arises, a counterinsurgency strategy may be necessary if post-invasion conditions degrade. I didn't directly address sharia law, but you can read between the lines in Item 8.
Rather than the Philippines, I am developing a strong desire to head up to Yellowstone...do some camping with the bears and wolves and bison.
Rather than the Philippines, I am developing a strong desire to head up to Yellowstone...do some camping with the bears and wolves and bison.
Now I don't go camping; don't know nothing about it, I am a white shirt and pin striped pants kind of man...but camping out is probably all that I can afford....prices are expensive in the summer in Yellowstone. I do own a tent; (though I've never opened the box it is in); I own a North Face Mummy Bag for sleeping on the sides of mountains; I've got several sets of decent hiking foot wear; I don't own no gun, and I don't want one. The problem is that I'd like to leave right after my last Labor Board Hearing on July 29....but there are not even any camp sites available in the whole entirety of Yellowstone Park until August 15, and even then only by the South Entrance near Grant Village. I would also stay in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, on the way to Yellowstone, but all of their camp sites are full as are hotels due to the Federal Reserve holding its Economic Symposium in Jackson as they do every year. So we have to find ways around troubles....that's what we do has human beings, that's our job.
I do know that the nighttime temperature this week hovers around 35 degrees in Yellowstone! Burrrrrr. I'm not physically fit for this either, and yet, over the past several month's I've been South on several occasions and managed 5 separate days of snorkeling, ocean swimming and free diving in La Jolla Cove with the sea lions, Golden Garibaldi fish and swaying deeply green sea grass far off from a distant shore....I've got some reasonably decent underwater video if I ever get time to put it together properly.
But what is more important...working on my electronic life, or, pushing further the boundaries of this slightly broken and unfairly battered body? To embrace life, with all the difficulties real life invariably entails, or love my computer more? Being 70, or getting there is a milestone and I more than ever need to rock and roll with difficult things, hard, maybe dangerous, (but only a little...lol).
I have reasons to be in the Philippines, I have people that will put me up; I have business opportunities in Subic Bay, and up North in Baggio, a 50th wedding anniversary I'm supposed to attend...and people I can stay with.
But you know, too heck with them....I think a drive up North, a night in Las Vegas, two nights in St. George, Utah, for Zion National Park, Provo for the American Fork, Idaho Falls for the Grand Tetons...and then into the vast wilderness of Yellowstone National Park sounds just about what I want...not what people want me to do, but what I want to do.
Then probably shoot a Left turn, (I am so precise in my directions and measurement...lol) and wander over to Oregon, which I have never seen, the Colombia River George and then back down through Northern California....that itself offers all kinds of opportunities.
As long as no emergencies come up...maybe I can do this.
The earth is alive, this is always cool to see.

Knowing that the NIMAs (non-Israeli muslim arabs) are going to hold a meeting on Wednesday to discuss Israel's "aggression," the IDF should target the meeting place and take all these rats out at one time.

Gotta love the emergency meeting by Abbas to deal with the Israeli aggression. He represents everything wrong with the Arabs---two faced, lying, immoral thugs
Over 100 Palestinians dead, and many women and children.
However, the Israeli prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, said his government would not be deflected by criticism from abroad, refusing to rule out a ground offensive and vowing there would be more air strikes. So far more than 100 Palestinians have been killed, mostly civilians, including at least 23 children. More than 670 have been injured.
Why the invasion now? The Israelis probably think that al-Sisi's campaign against the MB ties in with an attempt to "finish off" Hamas.
A commenter in the NYT puts it nicely.
Though a daily reader of the Times and most of its columnists, I, unfortunately, find it perpetuating the view that the war between Israel and Palestine is a battle between equals, using the standard language of "both sides" implying that what is happening is a battle between approximately equal parties - equal in resources, equal in munitions, equal in world support. As informed readers clearly know, this is not a battle between equals, a battle between "law abiding" Israelis" and a lawless population of vengeful Arabs.
"Women don't marry men in unemployment lines," he said. The audience nodded in agreement.

Today, Farrell's concerns are not just financial. He speaks in favor of developing a male birth control pill, establishing better programs to care for veterans and helping boys struggling through adolescence. His allies rally against what they see as rampant paternity fraud (when a woman attempts to pin paternity on the non-biological father of her child with the hopes of getting child support), a biased court system that favors mothers over fathers, soaring male suicide rates and prominence of domestic violence against men.
Women, they say, have distorted private life and taken over public life.
"Then about six years ago I kind of realized that there were a lot of other people like me; it's not uncommon for men to be sexually abused, it's not uncommon for men to be sexually abused by women. But because there's this lack of knowledge, there's this lack of community–you're completely isolated. You have no one to talk to who understands this."
Throughout the three-day event, the specter of feminism, or what British domestic violence activist Erin Pizzey called "the evil empire," loomed large, threatening to rip children from their fathers, lobby false rape accusations and remind men that in parenting, work and war they are forever disposable. (The movement includes a small fraction of women dedicated to the same mission.)
And finally, this
Stefan Molyneux, a Canadian radio host, blamed mothers for the violent behavior of men.
Molyneux said that because 90% of a child's brain is formed by the experiences it has before the age of 5, and women have "an almost universal control over childhood," violence exists in the world because of the way women treat children.
"If we could just get people to be nice to their babies for 5 years straight, that would be it for war, drug abuse, addiction, promiscuity, sexually transmitted diseases," he said. "Almost all would be completely eliminated, because they all arise from dysfunctional early childhood experiences, which are all run by women."

Critic's Top 5 Latin Music Events
Our critic picks this season's top 5 Latin music events.
Gilberto Gil
This Brazilian legend is one of the most riveting, profound and enduring popular musicians in his home country, an artist with both soul and stature. Since 1988, Gil has also been a mainstay of the Rhythm Foundation, Miami's premiere presenter of world music. So it's fitting that Gil will headline the group's kickoff celebration of its 25th anniversary season at an intimate solo concert and gala dinner and party. That season includes French lounge-punk act Nouvelle Vague (which now includes Miami singer Liset Alea) on Nov. 2 at downtown club Grand Central and 21stt century big band Pink Martini on Jan. 19 at the Fillmore Miami Beach. But none is likely to pack a more powerful musical wallop than Gil, alone on his guitar.
Oct. 21 at New World Center on Miami Beach
Red Baraat
World music encompasses ever more eclectic and global combinations. A prime example is Brooklyn's (a city with an international population) Red Baraat, which blends two funky dance styles from opposite sides of the global and musical spectrum, Indian Bhangra and New Orleans brass. Miami's own pan-Latin funk orchestra, the Spam Allstars, open.
March 23 at the South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center
Equis "X" Alfonso
This Cuban musician stands out in a country of exceptional musicians. The son of the leaders of Sintesis, a group that mixed traditional Afro-Cuban Santeria music with jazz and rock, Alfonso has pushed the traditional-contemporary-eclectic mix even further with a charisma and intensity that lifts it above muddy fusion. He and his vibrant young group were the hottest Cuban act at rock star Juanes' landmark 2009 concert in Havana. Alfonso comes to the heart of Cuban Miami with a concert, Reverse, a fusion of African drumming, orchestral music, flamenco and Cuban rumba.
Nov. 17 at Miami-Dade County Auditorium
Yemen Blues
Some of the newest and most intriguing flavors in the world music stew come from the Middle East and Northern Africa. Get a taste with Yemen Blues, a group whose members hail from Israel, New York and Uruguay, blending American blues and funk, West African and Jewish, ancient and modern musics into a soulful, polyglot mix.
Nov. 10 at downtown's Grand Central, brought by Miami Dade Live Arts
Esperanza Spalding
This bassist and singer is a unique class act, from her weighty instrument (not your usual star vehicle), to the way she straddles jazz profundity with popular appeal (in 2011 she was the first jazz musician to win the Best New Artist Grammy). Spalding and her 12-piece ensemble will wind up the Arsht Center's six concert Live at Knight music series with Radio Music Society. (Other Live at Knight highlights include the Oct. 19 opener, featuring ambitious rapper Talib Kweli with electronic artist Res).
April 19 at the Adrienne Arsht Center
