Witching Metal is the first demo release from Sodom, spawned in 1982. This hellish recording took the aggression of Motörhead and evil approach of Venom to the next step. Though crude, the cover art represents the sound, perfectly. The line-up of Angelripper, Aggressor and Witchhunter were among the first to step into the raging fires of Hell and to make a blood oath to Satan, himself, vowing to visit the curse of black metal upon the mortal realm.
The sound quality is really shoddy, with everything coming together in a wall of noise. This is the sort of production obtained when the recorder is under a bed in the next room. However, if you listen very closely and allow your ears to tune out the hissing of the tape and to really focus, it starts to become clearer. Angelripper's vocals, though muffled, still convey a barbaric fury that someone like Tom Warrior failed to ever tap into. The guitar and bass blend together, partially due to the tone, but also because of the poor quality. During the lead solos, Aggressor's work manages to slice through the noise, sounding quite similar to the axemanship of Kerry King, of Slayer. Even Witchhunter's drumming is fairly decipherable, despite everything else.
The material is very primitive and straightforward. There is a raw and hellish feeling to this, with a malevolent wrath that even exceeds that of the mighty Venom. The drumming is fast-paced, helping to carry the songs at a break-neck speed. The riffing is monotonous, at times, mostly due the the piss-poor production concealing so much of what is going on. For much of the recording, the guitar and bass join together to create a sinister rumbling that is accompanied by Angelripper's possessed ravings. Aggressor's chaotic solo work adds to the atmosphere of Hell and damnation, so much that one can almost feel the flames. For whatever reason, "Witching Metal" is the only song on here that made it onto In the Sign of Evil, though all of the material is of the same quality. However, Grave Violator's playing style would not have suited the music as well, in all likelihood.
Sodom's Witching Metal demo is a hideous and menacing slab of old school black metal. This is for anyone that worships the early material from Venom, Bathory, Hellhammer, etc. It may be difficult to pick up on, at first, but it is worth the effort. Forget the keyboards, female vocals and photos depicting self-mutilation. This is real black metal.
Written for http://ritesoftheblackmoon.tripod.com
There is no doubt in my mind that this is the heaviest thing to come out by 1982. Yes, the same year that Venom released their legendary "Black Metal", Mercyful Fate had released "Melissa", and that was about all there was in 1982 in black metal. These releases pale in comparison to the amount of evil found in this musical content.
The most important part of this demo, are the vocals. I don't know if it's the production, but Angelripper's vocals sound just as harsh and throaty as many second wave black metal bands. There is a line where speed metal becomes black, and Sodom, in my opinion, crossed it with this demo. The guitars are very buzzsaw and trebly sounding if you listen closely. Much like Bathory's guitar tone on their debut two years later. Yes, this demo is very amateur sounding, and definitely out of tune. But does that really matter? It's early Sodom, and with early Sodom, you know what you are going to get. Early Sodom is an extremely primitive expression of thrash metal, mix in a little bit of blasphemy, and you have black metal; REAL black metal.
Bottom line: If you think that Hellhammer, Bathory, or Venom invented black metal single handedly, give this demo a listen. All black metal fans should experience such an early representation of their genre. What you hear might surprise you.
"The sin of Sodom is in the sign of evil."
Sodom, known by many as one of the greatest thrash bands ever. I don't deny any claims like that, but you wouldnt say that from this.
The demo sounds like a Slayer and Venom spawn. This isn't really a bad thing in some cases, or if used in a good way, but for this, it is. The instrumental work of Witching Metal is pretty good, if you could hear it. The vocals, sorry to say, suck. Although I am a fan of Venom-esque thrash, this displeases me, alot. It's hard to hear the drumming, and you cant really tell the difference between any riffs, except when they go from typical thrash, to Slayer-like thrash.
This onslaught of horrible production is a perfect example of what NOT to do with your demo. These guys have great talent, even this early in their career, but you can't tell. The atmosphere reminds me of a garage band, playing in their, what else, garage. The slight echo effect is really annoying, too.
Overall, Sodom's first demo earns 6/10, 60%. Don't try this if production matters. I do recommend it for a collection, however. The songs are all remade with better production on their next demo, Victims of Death. So if you MUST have these songs, but don't want the horrid production, just get Victims of Death.
I think many people would agree that while, yes, Sodom are one of the most influential thrash metal bands of the 80s, many of their releases have very poor production. Victims of Death, In the Sign of Evil, Obsessed by Cruelty, all of these releases have at least one thing in common: They have decent to almost unlistenable quality. This release is no different. Actually, this release has the worst production of all of them! Drums are too quiet, guitars are pretty much just static, the vocals are almost completely silent and sound incoherent (thanks to the echo effect).
This is a short demo, and I'd only recommend this to fans who want to complete their collection or own a part of history. This demo is very cool historical wise, but the production is just so shitty. I'd recommend In the Sign of Evil for beginners, or Victims of Death which is a much better demo than this.

Answered all my questions quickly.Called cabs for us.
the sofe pillows
very noisy at night, it was a cross the street from a 24 hour 7-11
Being so close to all the activities .
No coffee in the room .
excellent location
Friendly staff good location. That is it.
Dirty,old,run down very expensive for what it is but that is San Francisco VERY EXPENSIVE!
So close to pier39 & all shops & restaurants 5 min walk
No pool no fridge
Whilst the location is close to the Wharf its also not the cleanest area. The Rooms were very poor, small, shower head was broken, bathroom door couldn't close, had to jiggy the handle for the toilet for it to flush.
Location is good for the main attractions. Free tea and coffee in the reception and parking on site.
A bit noisy, but it goes with the location I suppose.
Convenient to the attractions
Convenient to site seeing buses.
Eve staff very nice
Nosey,small hard bed,smelled funny
Location was excellent. We were concerned about no air, ended up not bring a problem at all. It is an older building but very clean. We stayed 6 nights and would stay there again.
WiFi did not work in our room.
Location was outstanding for fisherman's warf and access to the "F" streetcar line. The distaff was friendly and professional. The property was clean.
The room was small .nd while in good repair was dated
Great location friendly staff, and good on site parking .
We chose the Wharf Inn because of its location and its price and we were not disappointed. The location was perfect and while it wasn't as fancy as the hotels with more stars it was great. The room was spacious and clean, the staff were extremely helpful and friendly and they had great coffee 24 hours a day. And add to that free parking (almost unheard of at Fisherman's Wharf) and free wifi.
Because of the location so close to Fisherman's Wharf, the street was noisy. But the location outweighed the noise and we slept like logs anyway.
Great Location for overnight stay
Free parking was the only plus.
We did not feel safe at this location. The rooms were dirty and old. I was so disappointed we paid so much for such a bad hotel. I would never go back and wish I could get my money back. This is a huge rip off.
The employees were very friendly. It had free parking and wi-fi, where the more expensive places wanted $50 a day to park, and $20 for wi-fi. It was clean and comfy. They gave us recommendations, (that we asked for), and even let us leave our car there after check out so we could go to the pier for awhile before our flight. Oh and it is literally 1 block from the pier. Location, location, location!
Even though the wi-fi was free it didn't work very well and we finally just gave up, buffering is not my thing. The toilet was leaking so the sound of dripping all night was a little annoying, but they probably were not aware of it.
Everything was fine. The family has been using this hotel for many years. Every year around this time we book at your hotel for 3 to 4 days and it is a great place to stay.
Liked the location, easy access to everything
Did not have coffee/tea making facilities and no fridge in the room.
Big comfy rooms Excellent location Great friendly helpful staff Free parking
No tea/coffee in room BUT was constantly available in reception 24/7
Old and run down.
The staff were extremely helpful.
Massively helpful staff. Seriously, the three chaps that were on duty throughout our stay were simply tremendous, they helped us out hugely with any request we had. Fantastic location too!
The only drawback would have to be the fact that the air conditioning unit just wouldn't cool the room sufficiently. That being said, it was unusually warm weather during our stay so I'm sure for the majority of the year it would be sufficient.
Desk clerks were the most pleasant part of the experience.
Shower was a mess. Water was difficult to control. Need to rehab the bathroom. Windows were hard to secure. Did not feel like the room was clean.

Food pyramid out, 'My Plate' in for healthy eating
Thursday - 6/2/2011, 2:03pm EDT
By MARY CLARE JALONICK
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Agriculture Department unveiled a new symbol for healthy eating Thursday, abandoning a food pyramid that has guided some Americans' food choices while confusing others.
The new guide is a plate, divided into four slightly different sized quadrants, with fruits and vegetables taking up half the space and grains and protein making up the other half. The vegetable and grains portions are slightly larger.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack says "My Plate" aims to show that nutrition doesn't have to be complicated. After almost 20 years of preaching nutrition through a food pyramid that USDA officials now say was overly complex, obesity rates have skyrocketed. The new symbol, unveiled by Vilsack Thursday at the department with first lady Michelle Obama in attendance, is simple and gives diners an idea of what should be on their plates when they sit down at the dinner table.
"Parents don't have the time to measure out exactly 3 ounces of protein," Mrs. Obama said as she introduced the new graphic. "We do have time to look at our kids' plates."
To get that message out, the department is planning to use social media _ posting advice every day on Twitter, for example. The address of the accompanying website, choosemyplate.gov, is written on the chart. That website will eventually feature interactive tools that help people manage their weight and track exercise.
Robert Post of USDA's Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion, who has spent two years developing the plate and the website, said the new chart is designed to be "more artistic and attractive" and to serve as a visual cue for diners.
Gone are any references to sugars, fats or oils, and what was once a category called "meat and beans" is now simply "proteins," making way for seafood and vegetarian options like tofu. Next to the plate is a blue circle for dairy, which could be a glass of milk or a food such as cheese or yogurt.
Vilsack stresses that the plate is supposed to be suggestion, not direction.
"We are not telling people what to eat, we are giving them a guide," he said. "We're not suggesting they should not have a cookie or dessert, that's not what it's about."
Even though the plate is divided into four different-sized sections, the servings don't have to be proportional, say officials who developed the symbol. Every person has different nutritional needs, based on age, health and other factors.
The graphic is based on new USDA dietary guidelines released in January Those guidelines, which are revised every five years, tell people to drastically reduce salt and continue limiting saturated fats. They ask diners to enjoy food, but balance calories by eating less and taking smaller portions. It also suggests making half of your plate fruits and vegetables _ a message easily translated on the dinner plate.
"We know Americans want to be healthy, but making those healthy choices is not easy, it's hard," said Surgeon General Regina Benjamin, who joined Mrs. Obama and Vilsack to unveil the plate. "We're trying to make it easier."
Many nutritionists and nutrition groups praised the new effort, crossing their fingers that people will listen.
Marion Nestle, professor of nutrition, food Studies, and public health at New York University, says there are already a lot of symbols out there telling people what to eat.
"This brings it all together," she says.

PAYFORT, the online payment provider, announced today the launch of its PayForward Initiative, an e-knowledge sharing and networking space designed to help startups find solutions to the challenges they are facing, thus increasing their potential for success and allowing them to better serve their clients and contribute to the national economies in the region.
The digital space will be part of the PAYFORT website and will serve as a bridge that links startups with leading e-commerce merchants, experts, mentors, and consultants so that they can share knowledge and enjoy networking opportunities, which will, in turn, be beneficial for the wider entrepreneurial ecosystem.
"The Arab world's startup ecosystem is really on the rise, a phenomenon that carries with it many benefits for the region's wider economy, from employment creation to increased trade and commerce to economic and infrastructural development," said Omar Soudodi, Managing Director at PAYFORT. "Out of our desire to not only be a state-of-the-art online solutions provider but also a driver of the region's e-commerce and startup industries, the PayForward Initiative was born. It is our hope that program will facilitate the growth of the ecosystem, and thus increase its wider economic benefits, by connecting entrepreneurs with industry leaders and their deep knowledge, experience, and contacts."
With an estimated 30 million people shopping online and a market that is expected to grow to $15 billion by 2015, the Middle East is a region that is ripe for e-commerce startups to gain traction. Souq.com, the Arab world's largest e-commerce platform, is the region's most prominent e-commerce success story, and serves as a great example for e-commerce startups.
While payment has been one of the most salient challenges faced by e-commerce startups in the region, with 70-80 percent of shoppers choosing 'cash on delivery' as their preferred payment method, PAYFORT – which has an 85 percent acceptance ratio, the highest in the region – is equipping startups with the reliable and secure payment solutions needed to reverse this trend.

County elections officials in Kansas say they're planning no immediate changes following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling striking down Arizona's proof-of-citizenship requirement for prospective voters.
But critics of a similar Kansas law said Monday that the high court ruling is a victory for them and for preserving voting rights.
The Kansas law took effect in January and applies to people registering to vote for the first time in Kansas. They must provide a birth certificate, passport or some other proof of citizenship.
The high court said the Arizona law conflicted with federal voting laws.
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach tells KAKE news the Kansas Secure and Fair Voting Act, known also as Safe Act was written while the Arizona law was in court. Kobach says, "We drafted the Safe Act in Kansas to be different from the Arizona law and to specifically avoid the problem that the plaintiffs were complaining about in Arizona."
Johnson County Election Commissioner Brian Newby said he's waiting for guidance from Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach before making any changes. Kobach did not immediately return telephone messages seeking comment.

Warning: Language and WWE like chair hits.
Shame on you...
25-year-old One Direction fan Anna Todd just landed a six-figure advance when Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, bought the rights to her One Direction fan fiction titled "After."
"After" imagines a bad-boy punk version of Harry Styles falling for sheltered college freshman Tessa, whose world is upended by their relationship. Todd put the story up in daily installments -- some 300 short chapters spread out across three volumes -- on the relatively new Wattpad, where it was an almost instant hit. Wattpad's Ashleigh Gardner says that even before Todd finished the first volume, "After" was registering all over the company's internal social media metrics, with fan-generated art and custom musical playlists popping up on Twitter and Instagram. When Todd mentioned "Pride and Prejudice" or "Wuthering Heights" in "After," Wattpad had spikes in the reads (how the company counts clicks) on those novels on its site. To date, "After" has notched more than 800 million reads and ended 2013 as the site's most-shared story. Wattpad reached out to Todd, helped her build her fan base during the next two volumes and guided her toward a book deal, essentially acting as her agent.
The glossary was recently made public through a Freedom of Information request by the group MuckRock, which posted the PDF, called "Twitter shorthand," online. Despite its name, this isn't just Twitter slang: As the FBI's Intelligence Research Support Unit explains in the introduction, it's a primer on shorthand used across the Internet, including in "instant messages, Facebook and Myspace."
Yes, that does say Myspace.
The gems above definitely needed to be archived. I'm so glad I now know all the leet internet slang the youth of the internet use!

This is not as far fetched as you might think. You should go do some research. Outside of Kentucky there are 3 titles. Arkansas and Florida(TWICE). Im not sure why you keep talking about Arkansas in your argument because they haven't been relevant since 95. It wouldn't surprise me if Duke has just as many Final Fours as the entire SEC besides UK of course. If they don't the SEC probably doesn't have them by much.
Or you can safely say Duke + UNC combined have more than the SEC combined.

The Saudi's feeling the pinch
A Saudi prince issued an extraordinary warning recently. See the Sky News story below.
Imagine a world where Saudi Arabia couldn't spend billions of dollars every year funding mosques and madrassas around the world, and exporting materials and imams that espouse radical Islamist ideology.
That day may come sooner than anyone could have ever dreamed. Already the Saudi's are feeling the pinch thanks to the "fracking" revolution.
The next smart step would be Congress passing fuel freedom legislation. This would allow consumers to choose from different transportation fuels in the marketplace (such as methane produced by abundant U.S. natural gas).
Thanks to this free market competition, you would save money every time you filled up your car – and place a choke hold on Saudi Arabia and every other OPEC nation that exports Islamist ideology and terrorism.
Saudi Prince: Fracking Is Threat To Kingdom
As the fracking revolution eases demand for the kingdom's oil and gas, a billionaire prince warns his nation to find new income.
Sky News
9:49am UK, Monday 29 July 2013
A Saudi prince has warned that his oil-reliant nation is under threat because of fracking technology being developed elsewhere around the world.
Billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal said the Gulf Arab kingdom needed to reduce its reliance on crude oil and diversify its revenues.
His warning comes as rising shale energy supplies in the United States cut global demand for Saudi oil.
In an open letter to his country's oil minister Ali al Naimi and other government heads, published on Sunday via his Twitter account, Prince Alwaleed said demand for oil from Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) member states was "in continuous decline".
He said Saudi Arabia's heavy dependence on oil was "a truth that has really become a source of worry for many".
He added that the world's biggest crude oil exporter should implement "swift measures" to diversify its economy.
Prince Alwaleed, owner of international investment firm Kingdom Holding, is unusually outspoken for a top Saudi businessman.
But his warning reflects growing concern in private among many Saudis about the long-term impact of shale technology.
It is allowing the US and Canada to tap unconventional oil deposits which they could not reach just a few years ago.
Chancellor George Osborne has also announced support for fracking in Britain and in offshore waters, to ease a reliance on foreign oil and gas.
Some analysts think this may push demand for Saudi oil, as well as global oil prices, down sharply over the next decade.
Over the past couple of years the Saudi government has taken some initial steps to develop the economy beyond oil.
It has sought to liberalise the aviation sector and provided finance to small, entrepreneurial firms in the services and technology sectors.
Mr Naimi said publicly in May that he was not concerned about rising US shale oil supplies.
Prince Alwaleed told Mr Naimi in his open letter, which was dated May 13 this year, that he disagreed with him.
The prince said: "Our country is facing a threat with the continuation of its near-complete reliance on oil, especially as 92% of the budget for this year depends on oil.
"It is necessary to diversify sources of revenue, establish a clear vision for that and start implementing it immediately."
The prince said Saudi Arabia should move ahead with plans for nuclear and solar energy production to cut local consumption of oil.
The shale oil threat means Saudi Arabia will not be able to raise its production capacity to 15 million barrels of oil per day (mbpd), Prince Alwaleed argued.
Current capacity is about 12.5mbpd; a few years ago the country planned to increase capacity to 15mbpd, but then put the plan on hold after the global financial crisis.
While most Saudi officials have in public insisted they are not worried by the shale threat, Opec has recognised that it needs to address the issue.
In a report earlier this month, Opec forecast demand for its oil in 2014 would average 29.61mbpd, down 250,000bpd from 2013. It cited rising non-Opec supply, especially from the US.
The fracking warning comes as Saudi Arabia announced three foreign consortiums - led by US, Spanish and Italian firms - have won a $22.5bn contract to build Riyadh's 110-mile, six-line metro train network.

Musician and columnist Bradlee Dean, who was prescribed an antidepressant as a child, says we've been ignoring the rod of correction. His biography was written in comic-book form.
Advertisement-content continues below
When I was a young man and ignorant of many things, a friend of mine was taken by her mother to the psychiatric ward of a hospital. My friend had spent an unsettling night ripping up paper into small pieces and crying. It was a sad event, but this is what her mother had to do when her daughter went off her medication. I had never heard the phrase "going off your medication" or "chemical imbalance."
I thought, why couldn't such a person just grit his teeth and be normal? Just snap out of it! But I could not discern the labyrinthine paths of the human mind under duress — nor can I today.
Katherine Sharp, writing recently for the Wall Street Journal, was given an antidepressant while in college to relieve anxiety. She writes about the effects of her treatment. "I wanted my feelings to mean something. The idea that my deepest emotions were actually random emanations from my malfunctioning brain didn't uplift me; it just further demoralized me."
Dangerous for kids
Antidepressants for children is dangerous, Sharp says, because their personalities are developing, and they don't get a sense of their true emotions being masked by the drugs. Such drugs can blur the line between "actual" and medicated feelings.
Advertisement-content continues below
Kids therefore never develop a healthy sense of self-identity. Sharp writes of a 28-year-old woman who began taking Prozac at age 14, and yet who wonders, "If I'd never gotten antidepressants, who would I be? What would I be like?" Sharp concludes that the expanding use of psychiatric medication over the last twenty years has led to prescriptions for patients with "less and less severe cases."
Since 1988, Americans have increased their use of antidepressants by 400%; and 5% of children 12 to 19 take these medications. Glasgow general practitioner Dr. Des Spence says that anti-depressants are hugely over-prescribed and have become the "golden goose" of drug companies who have formed close ties with doctors to produce a "drug mindset" of how to treat mental illness.
Just plain Godlessness
It seems to me that in some cases, such medications are properly used to correct a chemical imbalance (whatever that is). However, there is a trend of over-prescribing medication while ignoring behavioral causes. Many kinds of misbehavior, such as drug and alcohol abuse, sexual licentiousness, abortion, homosexual behavior, and, let's just say it — all-around godlessness — lead to emptiness and despair. That's not to say that only sinful people suffer from depression. Due to man's fallen state, suffering is a part of the human condition.
Cleaning up the immorality can often be a first step towards peace of mind. Counseling, prayer, and even spiritual direction can be used to complement antidepressant treatments and prescriptions. Even if the person is suffering from the faults of others, an approach that recognizes plain old immorality is a step in the right direction.
Massacres and meds
Preacher and columnist Bradlee Dean has drawn attention to mass shooters such as Sandy Hook's Adam Peter Lanza, the Aurora "Batman shooter" James Holmes, and Eric Harris of the Columbine High School massacre: They were all users of anti-depressants at the time of their crimes. (Disclosure: Bradlee Dean's You Can Run International is a client of our PR firm.) In Dean's article, "School Shooters and Pharmaceuticals," he points out that the controversial TeenScreen survey, administered to children as young as nine years old, finds that nearly twenty percent of students surveyed are labeled mentally ill, which of course leads to a prescription.

Another package from Dan Pipe, another adventure. There is not much of a story behind my choice of this blend; I saw the description in the online store and decided I had to try it.
The tin aroma may lack in the typical VA grassiness, but it more than makes up for that in full tilt sweetness; these leaves must have been left unharvested until the last possible moment.
The ready-rubbed tobacco is a little uneven and needs a little extra rubbing here and there, but it fills easily and takes to the match well enough.
Right from the first puff, the aroma and the taste are both deliciously sweet, with honey-ish notes. The taste develops a little during the first half, becoming a highly satisfying sweetness with no bite or bitterness. The smoke leaves a sweet aftertaste on the tongue. The touch of vanilla noted in the description I could not detect; it must be extremely light.
GOM burns down well once lit (a friend who tried it had some trouble getting it started), and right down to the very last crumb the taste and aroma are simply top notch; the residue is a fine grey ash with no dottle whatsoever.
For such a sweet and, overall, light-seeming tobacco, there is a quite satisfying nicotine punch in there that makes me want to light up the next pipe of this blend right now, only a few minutes after finishing the previous one. Pure VA pleasure, highestly recommended.
-- update 07-27-09 -- My nose must have been on vacation before I wrote this review; I can make out the vanilla quite clearly these days. But that is the only change in opinion; it still is one of the best tobaccos I have tried to date.
-- further update 07-30-09 -- having spent the afternoon at Dan Pipe, and having had a long and very interesting conversation with Michael Apitz, I have learned that GoM is practically identical to Sweet Vanilla Honeydew, minus a goodly amount of the vanilla sauce. I am surprised, because my impression of SVH was that it was far less strong than GoM. I guess my palate is too used to strongly aromaticized tobaccos being weak. Then again, I really do get a good kick out of GoM, which I don't get out of SVH. shrug Guess I'm only human after all.
-- another update, 05-12-11 -- downrating; this tobacco no longer meets my standards for an outstanding blend. It is quite good and recommended; just not one to make me jump up and down with glee.

This rubbed Virginia flake bears a family resemblance to Dan's Sweet Vanilla Honeydew as a natural Virginia aromatic. The vanilla is less prominent than in SVH while the inherent sweetness of the Virginia tobacco is emphasized. By the manufacturer's description this sweetness comes naturally from the Mysore Virginia rather than being applied. If so, this golden light Indian Virginia has the highest of natural sugar content and subtantial strength.
Gold of Mysore is a richly flavorful tobacco in the Danish-German tradition of cased Virginia flakes, is pleasantly aromatic, but imparts very little tongue bite despite all of the sugar. The aromatic quality tends to fade slightly in the last third of the bowl but the strength is maintained.
I bought a 100 gm tin on a recent trip to Europe and as this is a fairly new blend from Dan, it may not yet be available in the USA. If you come across it and you like Virginias in the Danish tradition, try it. It's sweet, it's strong, and it's good.

You see nationalism in every corner. It's your second favorite boogeyman behind religion. This little bit of nonsense covers both bits of terror, so I guess it shouldn't be any big surprise that you're jumping out of your skin.
Before you worry too much, I'd advise you to consider your sources. Many of those points are being dramatically distorted by your source. No surprise there. While there's undeniably some tremendously bad ideas in there, I think the same could be said of every single political platform in the entire world. Most of the ideas, when actually taken at face value, are either no-brainers or regurgitation of established constitutional law. Of course, that's not really very scary, so by all means play it up as you see fit.
Careful, though, I expect the ledges on the ivory tower would be rather high, so you might want to come back inside.
Sorry. No pearls of wisdom in this oyster.

2014 BU Schedule Released: Young Terriers ready to take on new challengesWednesday, August 13th, 2014
While the regular season for the Boston University men's basketball team begins nearly three months from now on Nov. 16 at TD Garden against Northeastern, there is still plenty to look at when it comes to this team as they try to remain dominant during their second year in the Patriot League.
It's been said on many occasions, and will be repeated for some time, at the end of the school year was a tough one for the BU men's basketball program. They were forced to say goodbye to their three fearless leaders, Dom Morris, D.J. Irving, and Travis Robinson after losing to Illinois in the NIT. Then in April, several players, including star point guard Maurice Watson Jr. announced they would be leaving BU and taking their talents elsewhere.
The departure of Watson Jr., and what would have been senior forwards Malik Thomas, and James Kennedy, left what should have been a formidable BU squad with a slew of question marks surrounding its future success.
Fast-forward four months, the apocalypse has not happened, pigs aren't flying, coach Jones and the team are back at The Roof working hard in Case Gymnasium as they get ready for the 2014 season. With the departure of the eldest players, and the most vocal player on the court, it begs the question, which player is going to step up and lead the Terriers?
"Coach Jones kinda made Nate [Dieudonne], Justin [Alston], and I the leaders," said junior guard John Papale. "Right now, obviously we're the guys with the most experience."
Papale went on to discuss the evolution the three players have made since joining the program. During their freshman year in 2012, all three had certain roles they were expected to fulfill, and now it's time for them to make that jump to becoming the leaders, similar to what the graduating class did their junior year.
"I think it's a little bit of an adjustment, but I think we have enough experience and we try to do things the right way so we're setting an example for the young guys," said Papale. "Just learning from D.J., Dom, and Travis they went through a similar thing their junior year so I think we've been doing a good job so far and I hope it continues."
This season's schedule includes an interesting mixture of games for BU. The Terriers start off the year a bit early, traveling to Italy next week for practice and exhibition games against four Italian teams.
For the young men making the trip from last year's team, it will be a very similar trip to the one the team took to Irvine, California, last season. In Irvine, the team went 2-1, winning their final two games after having to fix some crucial mistakes when they dropped their first game.
"You spend so much time together as a team, and the way we bounced back as a team out in California, beating a really good the next day and finishing off 2-1, I think the same thing can apply in Italy," said Papale. "We're going to be young, it's going to be interesting, it's our first time playing together, but it'll just be us out there so it'll be easier to focus and fix what goes wrong." (more…)

Here is a sneak peak of a recent shoot I did with Katie Jean Photos.
Thank you Brides.com for featuring 2!! of my bouquets in your slideshow inspiration! Photo by SB Studio.
This post is a long time coming! Last July, I took part in a beautiful event alongside Storied Events and 822 Weddings. I scored so many beautiful blooms when preparing for this wedding, and I even stopped in at Fairfax Perennials on my treasure hunt for cottage garden styled designs. Peonies, clematis, organic garden roses, hosta, and local hydrangea were some of the stars. I had the honor of being featured on Snippet & Ink here. Enjoy!
WellWed included my boutonniere in a lovely inspiration board today on their blog.

This was such a special event. Melissa and Jim were so incredibly sweet, upbeat and fun to work with, and a gorgeous couple to boot. A peach, green, and ivory color palette with accents of gold and navy sparkled against the barns and rolling hills of this rustic yet manicured upstate New York venue. Melissa and Jim wanted a romantic, nostalgic and casual atmosphere for their day. I used materials such as succulents, cafe au lait dahlias, patience garden roses, moss, and other local garden treasures. Homespun pennant flags hung from the rafters and hurricane candlelight made the night glow. Rental props came from Vintage Inspired Marketplace. All of the lovely details were captured by Christina Bernales, whose stunning work speaks for itself!
kendyl + chris were such a sweet couple and a pleasure to work with! The humble artichoke, believe it or not, sparked the inspiration for their plum + green wedding palette. As our planning progressed, the decor took shape in a shabby chic, vintage way: antique clear glass bottles with locally grown flowers, whitewashed planters with fragrant herbs, silver mercury glass candles and a handful of artichokes studded their dinner tables. Textural bouquets and simple calla boutonnieres accompanied the elegantly dressed wedding parties who were decked with pocket handkerchiefs, stunning dresses + suits, and pops of chartreuse + silver jewelry that made my heart sing. I am in love with how everything came together. Storied Events made it all possible, and 822 Weddings captured every detail with their wildly talented abilities.
I have so many things to share! Now that my 2013 flower season is coming to a close, I can finally sit back with a big cup of tea and begin combing through images of the many Vermont weddings I took part in this year. I had an amazing season thanks to the lovely couples galore who kept my months buzzing with flower-filled events. To start with, here are some images from Amy + Kevin's September celebration captured by Once Like A Spark Photography and Paperweight Films. These two were the epitome of fun and easy-going. Their gray + yellow color palette had me excited right away, and when Amy asked that all of their flowers be locally sourced I was over the moon with contentment. In the end, I had the honor of creating designs that were beautiful while also being happy for the environment. Yay!
This was a photo shoot I took part in with the talented photographer Christina Bernales. Christina dreamt up a Southwestern styled shoot and, after agreeing to use as many local vendors as possible, we put a decidedly vintage twist on it. To create a vintage-meets-the-Southwest look, I used a mashup of different botanicals from cottage garden favorites like roses, larkspur, and carnations, to the more bold desert cactus and succulent. Crochet blankets, stunning floral barkcloth, and quirky hankies were layered beneath earthy terra cotta plates and bowls, plants anchored in swirls of turquoise and white sand, victorian silverware and gold-rimmed glasses. So much fun! I love creating tablescapes that don't fit into just one "box." It's featured on Stylemepretty here.
The vendors Christina and I worked with were hand picked favorites including Christa Alexandra Designs whose fresh stationary helped pull together our theme beautifully and Vintage Inspired Lifestyle Marketplace who provided the wardrobe and a majority of the props and tabletop decor that we used. Besides being addicted to their shop for my home decorating needs I also love Vintage Inspired because they have a rental option for vendors and brides in need of vintage wedding props and decor at a fraction of retail cost. Our model, Lulu Lovering was a joy to work with and Marieanne Souza put together a seriously gorgeous series of looks for her makeup and hair. At the last minute we made a point of including a male model, Lulu's beloved boyfriend Marcel Leclaire III, in the shoot to bring some true love into the pictures and to make the project less bride-focused. Grooms need some attention too!
For this project I also took the opportunity to showcase my new hobby of silversmithing. I made a big bohemian statement ring with a Southwestern turquoise stone set in sterling silver, up-cycled a brass pendant into a modern necklace with quartz and pyrite, and created some smaller sterling silver stacking and accent rings. Silversmithing is the perfect activity for me to do in the winter when all the flowers are sleeping! I love the detail-oriented work and find it similar to floral design because it also incorporates natural elements into hand made, delicate age old symbols of love. I relish the excitement and rush of making ephemeral floral arrangements that require they be wholly enjoyed in an evening or a week, but it's nice to spend the winters doing something a bit slower and deliberate, coming up with little treasures that can be coveted for generations to come. As I hone my skills, I am working towards bringing jewelry into my business and offering these small creations as a facet of my brand.

Add to that homespun details, perfect weather, and a sunny yellow + white palette and I was in heaven! photos 2 + 3 courtesy of Ember Photography.
Vermont Vows included my work in a beautiful inspiration board this month. VT Vows Amethyst Inspiration Board My bouquet is in the center top row. Click on the link for a full list of sources and to browse the Vows website for more ideas. They write:
"As the birthstone for those born in February, amethyst adds the perfect splash of wedding for white-washed February days. The rich jewel tone looks sweet on bridesmaids' dresses, as a pop of color in bouquets & centerpieces, or in it's true form in jewelry – but the options are limitless. The regal hues is the perfect way to transition between the seasons, with it's softer shades serving as the perfect palette for spring & summer seasons, or incorporate darker shades when the weather is chillier. However you choose to incorporate amethyst, the day will look sweet when rendered in purple."

Black Friday creeps into Thanksgiving permanently?
Friday - 11/23/2012, 2:03pm EST
By ANNE D'INNOCENZIO
AP Retail Writer
(AP) - This season appears to mark the end of Black Friday as we know it.
For decades, stores have opened their doors in wee hours of the morning on the day after Thanksgiving known as Black Friday. But this year, that changed when major chains from Target to Toys R Us opened on Thanksgiving itself, turning the traditional busiest shopping day of the year into a two-day affair.
That means that shoppers who wanted to fall into a turkey-induced slumber could still head out to stores early on Black Friday. Others could head straight from the dinner table to stores on Turkey Day. And stores were able to attract both groups by offering door buster sales from $179 40-inch flat-screen TVs to $10 jeans at different times of the day.
Sam Chandler, 55, and his wife, Lori Chandler, 54, were a part of the early group. By the time they reached the Wal-Mart in Greenville, S.C. early Friday, they had already hit several stores, including Target and Best Buy. In fact, they had been shopping since midnight.
"We've learned over the years, you have to stand in line early and pray," Sam said.
Stu and April Schatz, residents of Rockland County, N.Y., preferred to get a later start. They went to the Shops at the Garden State Plaza mall in Paramus, N.J., which didn't open until 7 a.m. on Black Friday, because they didn't want to deal with the crowds that show up for openings late night on Thanksgiving or midnight on Black Friday.
"It's so much more civilized going in the morning," said April Schatz, a teacher. "We wanted to enjoy our evening."
The earlier hours are an effort by stores to make shopping as convenient as possible for Americans, who they fear won't spend freely during the two-month holiday season in November and December because of economic uncertainty. Many shoppers are worried about high unemployment and whether or not Congress will be able to reach a budget deal by January before a package of spending cuts and tax increases known as the "fiscal cliff" takes effect.
At the same time, Americans have grown more comfortable shopping on websites that offer cheap prices and the convenience of being able to buy something from smartphones, laptops and tablet computers from just about anywhere. That puts added pressure on brick-and-mortar stores, which can make up to 40 percent of their annual revenue during the holiday shopping season, to give consumers a compelling reason to leave their homes.
That's becoming more difficult: the National Retail Federation, an industry trade group, estimates that overall sales in November and December will rise 4.1 percent this year to $586.1 billion, below last year's 5.6 percent growth. . But the online part of that is expected to rise 15 percent to $68.4 billion, according to Forrester Research.
As a result, brick-and-mortar retailers have been trying everything they can to lure consumers into stores. Some stores tested the earlier hours last year, but this year more retailers opened their doors late on Thanksgiving or at midnight on Black Friday. In addition to expanding their hours, many also are offering free layaways and shipping, matching the cheaper prices of online rivals and updating their mobile shopping apps with more information.
"Every retailer wants to beat everyone else," said C. Britt Beemer, chairman of America's Research Group, a research firm based in Charleston, S.C. "Shoppers love it."
Indeed, some holiday shoppers seemed to find stores' earlier hours appealing. Julie Hansen, a spokeswoman at Mall of America in Minneapolis, said 30,000 people showed up for the mall's midnight opening, compared with 20,000 last year. She noted that shoppers are coming in waves, and sales aren't just being shifted around.
"This is additional dollars," Hansen said.
About 11,000 shoppers were in lines wrapped around Macy's flagship store in New York City's Herald Square when it opened at midnight on Black Friday. That's up from an estimated 9,000 to 10,000 shoppers who showed up the store's midnight opening last year.
Joan Riedewald, a private aide for the elderly, and her four children ages six to 18, were among them. By that time, she already had spent about $100 at Toys R Us, which opened at 8 p.m., and planned to spend another $500 at Macy's before heading to Old Navy.
"I only shop for sales," she said.
But some shoppers decided to stick to traditional Black Friday shopping hours. Joe Russell was hunting for a great deal on a large flat-screen TV and went to the Best Buy store in Watertown, Mass., shortly after midnight on Friday. But the long line of shoppers gunning for door-buster promotions deterred him from braving the freezing temperatures. So Russell, 47, returned to the store after sunrise and got a different TV for "a decent price."

Are you in business for yourself? Can you clearly articulate what it is you are selling? Can you do it in 30 seconds or less? What about 7 words? Can you tell me why I should choose you and not your competitor?
A friend recently shared a story with me about Computer Company X – true story – Sr. mgmt of Company X made some random calls to their own various departments posing as potential customers – they asked one question… why should I buy your computer over that computer – nobody could tell them… after some persisting, one employee told the 'would be' customer that it was due to the screws they used to hold the top half of the laptop to the lower half. So fret not if you yourself have yet to define what business you are in.
Grab a paper and pen or open word and start typing. Write or type what you are selling, what makes you different than your competitors and then start to chisel away at the words until you have one perfect sentence that answers the question – What do you do? Now, what are your business goals and do you have a mission statement?
This exercise of clearly articulating what business you are in will provide much needed clarity when it comes to developing your marketing plan.

People expressed interest in this post existing (???? hahaha guys ARE YOU SURE), and I am taking a day or so off of my internet hiatus to procrastinate on stuff, so here it is!
Caveat: Despite my PhD in Astrofeelings and the fact that I sometimes imagine I am a medical student when going to the Dunkin Donuts attached to the hospital near my apartment, I am not a medical doctor. I have also only ever been me and experienced my own perceptions, when it comes to personal experience I speak only of my own. ANYWAY.
OCD = obsessive-compulsive disorder. This is actually (unpopular opinion?) a super misleading name, because the word "obsession" is so widely used and often in a positive context. "I'M TOTALLY OBSESSED WITH AVATAR! IT'S THE BEST!" It's not that kind of obsession. (I have actually seen people conflate the two in fandom discussions and just…no. Don't do that.)
obsessions = shitty anxiety thoughts you can't get rid of
compulsions = stuff you do to deal with or neutralize the shitty anxiety thoughts
OCD is first and foremost an anxiety disorder. That seems really straightforward, right? But that's the main thing that people misunderstand, which then spreads into a million other misunderstands. Compulsions (the washing/checking/counting that you so often see portrayed) do not exist in a vacuum, they are a way of dealing with the seed of the illness, which is persistent, intrusive anxiety. A way to make it stop, however briefly, an outward manifestation of the internal anxiety.
Sometimes compulsions are not external, but are in fact mostly inside your head. Asking yourself questions, reviewing events to make sure something REALLY HAPPENED, reassurance seeking - all of these are compulsions too, because they're ways to deal with the pre-existing anxiety.
Here is the best way I've found to describe what it is like for me. You know the rainbow wheel on Macs? That spins when your computer gets overheated? It's like that, but in your brain - it latches onto something unpleasant or frightening or the worst possible possibility, a memory or a thought or a replay, and spins and spins and doesn't let go. And then you start to overheat. You can reset the computer by doing a compulsion but it will just start again. You haven't actually fixed anything for longer than a small handful of time - if anything you've damaged the system more. But at least you're not spinning.
Trying to ignore that spinning wheel is very, very difficult. Sometimes you can't. And the really fun catch of OCD is that the person dealing with it is aware that it makes no sense. There's a fundamental disconnect between the obsession and reality and, as clear as it might be, does not respond to logic. This is called "ego dynastic". The symptoms of the illness are not a part of the personality of the sufferer. They are not fundamental to their self-perception. This is why saying "Oh, I'm so OCD!" in addition to making so sense grammatically, makes no sense…in general.
2. You know people with OCD and you have no idea who they are. Seriously. So do I. People who have this illness get INCREDIBLY GOOD at hiding their symptoms, often they have no actual visible symptoms at all. You could know somebody for years and never figure it out, you could spend your whole life not being diagnosed for any number of reasons. Nobody wants to be treated differently or answer annoying questions or be under scrutiny by their classmates and colleagues. It's a strange and fine line to walk, because people have a very specific perception of OCD that is super culturally ingrained, perhaps in some ways more so than many other mental illnesses…
3. …from the ~*~mainstream media~*~. Which I will get to in the next installment!
I have reblogged this before and WILL REBLOG AGAIN.
BRINGING THIS BACK BECAUSE IT'S A GOOD POST (that I wrote) and I've hit like a perfect storm of being annoyed by popular...
