Home » Articles » Scott Hall struggling again
After turning his life around, it appears that Scott Hall might be regressing a bit. News broke out recently that the former WWE star canceled out on an event in California. Hall cited medical issues as a reason. However, both Jake Roberts and Diamond Dallas Page have made statements recently that make it seem like there is more to the Hall situation than we currently know right now.
May 17, 2014
The original plans for Monday Night Raw were to have CM Punk and Daniel Bryan entering into a feud together against the Shield.
November 1, 2013
Since WWE wants to make this is a big edition of Monday Night Raw, the company has enlisted the help of Hulk Hogan and friends to help spike the ratings. Scott Hall and Kevin Nash have already been confirmed for an appearance, and there are talks that an nWo reunion could be taking place. Another person from Hogan's past has now been added as well. Paul Orndorff is scheduled to make an appearance tonight.
August 11, 2014
The white and black is headed back to WWE next week when Monday Night Raw comes to us live from Portland. Hulk Hogan will be celebrating his birthday on air, and he has a couple of buddies coming back to join him. Scott Hall and Kevin Nash have reportedly been confirmed for the event, and the belief is that WWE will be doing some sort of nWo reunion to boost television ratings.
August 6, 2014
Reports are surfacing about an incident between Scott Hall and a terminally ill kid with brain cancer at a wrestling convention, and it is making the former WWE and WCW star look like a really bad human being. It is being said that Hall refused to sign a birthday card for the 6 year old boy, who may only have a little bit of time left to live. Several other wrestlers took the time to do the kind deed for the kid.
July 31, 2014
It looks like the longstanding real life backstage heat between Goldberg and Scott Hall has now ended. The disdain between the two sides started when both were working in WCW. Goldberg has publicly stated that Hall was unprofessional and careless in the ring. The two of them were spotted together at a wrestling convention in Arizona recently, and they appeared to be cordial with one another.
July 28, 2014
A lot of rumors have been floating around as of late in regards to the condition that Scott Hall has been in at conventions and independent wrestling shows. Promoters and fans have been accusing the former WWE star of being in really bad shape, which has led to speculations that he might be losing his battle against sobriety. Sean Waltman, however, has been telling people that Hall is under heavy medication because of recurring pain from his hip surgery.
June 26, 2014
For a period of time there, it became a running joke whenever Scott Hall was booked to appear at an independent wrestling event because a lot of people did not expect him to fulfill his obligations. After turning his life around, it looks like Hall might be relapsing a bit. Several promoters across the country have stated that Hall has been showing late to events and looking in rough condition when he does show up.
June 23, 2014
After announcing his retirement from UFC, Chael Sonnen posted a quote on his Twitter account that stated, "Bad times don't last, but bad guys do." The comment caught the attention of Scott Hall, who proceeded to criticize Sonnen for stealing the line that he made while being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. This appears to be a misunderstanding as Sonnen is a big fan of wrestling and has used several quotes over the years.
June 22, 2014
While a lot of independent wrestlers are hoping for just a chance to do a tryout with WWE, Cody Hall is on the other side of the fence. The son of Scott Hall has turned down the company several times, stating that he does not want to join their developmental program until he establishes himself on the indies and internationally. Hall wants to achieve things on his own merit.
June 5, 2014
The Smackdown taping had some familiar faces backstage this week. Ric Flair, Scott Hall and Jake Roberts were all visiting the company yesterday. Hall, who was there with his son Cody Hall, was there to tape some footage for the WWE Network. Flair was rumored to be there to discuss his upcoming role with officials. Roberts stated that he was simply visiting since the show was in Atlanta.
May 28, 2014
A familiar face recently showed up at the Accountability Crib. Chris Jericho stopped by the house that is now famous for hosting Jake Roberts and Scott Hall as the duo cleaned up their lives, thanks in large part to the assistance of Diamond Dallas Page. Jericho was there to do a podcast interview with Roberts and DDP, which will be airing soon.
May 24, 2014
There are a lot of rumors floating around right now about Scott Hall, with many believing that he has fallen off the wagon again after some vague comments from Jake Roberts and Diamond Dallas Page. We do know that Hall was in the hospital this week. While many are speculating that it has something to do with drugs or alcohol, the former Intercontinental Champion is stating that he was only there for a heart checkup.
May 24, 2014
A potentially interesting situation is developing with Scott Hall again. The former Intercontinental Champion is scheduled to show up at the next Smackdown taping to film an interview segment that will be aired on the WWE Network. Hall recently skipped out on an independent event because of a rumored relapse. It will be interesting to see if he makes it for his WWE appearance.
May 24, 2014
A status update on Twitter, where Drew McIntyre joked about how he and his father are joining the Clique. The two of them recently hung out with Sean Waltman, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall backstage, as pictured.
May 1, 2014
"Roddy Piper is a deranged old fool. He got bitch slapped to the floor. Hulk Hogan, Sean Waltman, Scott Hall and Eric Bischoff were in the room. Let it go, Rod. Pod cast invite?" - Kevin Nash telling a backstage story about Roddy Piper and mockingly asks for an invitation to do a podcast interview
April 20, 2014
In an effort to show new fans that the company is capable of drawing in the big name performers in the industry, TNA has added alumni profiles to their roster page on their official website. Some notable names on there are Jeff Jarrett, Sting, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Sean Waltman, Mick Foley, Hulk Hogan, AJ Styles, Brooke Hogan, Ric Flair and Rob Van Dam.

Senators "On Trial" for Anti-Gay Blackmail and a Colleague's Death
October 21, 2013 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Brian Moulton, Former HRC Legal Director
This Wednesday in Washington, a dark and largely unknown episode from LGBT history in our nation's capital will be brought to light.
Senator Joseph McCarthy (R-Wisconsin) and two other former members of the United States Senate will go "on trial" in Washington, DC, for their alleged roles in the 1954 suicide of Wyoming Senator Lester C. Hunt. Senators Joseph McCarthy (R-Wisconsin), Styles Bridges (R-New Hampshire) and Herman Welker (R-Idaho), all deceased, are "charged" with a criminal conspiracy to blackmail Hunt who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in his senate office in 1954. A year earlier, Hunt's son was publicly disclosed as gay after an arrest in a sting operation in Lafayette Park.
A mock trial of the three senators will be held at All Souls Church Unitarian on October 23rd beginning at 7:30 PM in the church sanctuary. All Souls Church Unitarian is located at 1500 Harvard Street NW in Washington, DC. Admission is free.
The "trial" is a readers' theater presentation based on the research conducted by Rodger McDaniel for his book Dying for the Sins of Joe McCarthy-The Suicide of Wyoming Senator Lester Hunt. Former Senator Alan K. Simpson of Wyoming will open the proceedings with an address to the mock court, jury, and audience. A number of prominent attorneys will read roles in the mock trial, including HRC Legal Director Brian Moulton.
The event is being sponsored by the Mattachine Society of Washington, D.C. HRC is proud to support this event casting a bright light on an important and tragic event in the history of our nation.

11/25/2014It is interesting and maybe I will invest more time in to it if I get a smart band of some sort, but the fact remains it needs help. The live tile doesn't work. This is an MS app, it should update. Also, the Xbox fitness app should link to this either directly, or by allowing the selection of the workout and a star rating.

11/21/2014GPS Tracker keeps dropping during runs. Whether a mile from the airport, or running through the middle of town, or in the city park, I finish running and check it only to find it stopped tracking at some point. Very frustrating, would be such a high rating if not for this. RB

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) _ Two Wichita men are headed to the White
President Bush tomorrow will host a reception in Washington,
D.C., for more than 650 volunteers and hold a ceremony on the South
Lawn recognizing the efforts of the USA Freedom Corps.
Among the honorees is Buddy Shannon and Alex Robinson. Bush has
already personally presented both Wichita men with their awards.
Shannon says receiving the president's Call to Service Award in
May has allowed him to speak to more people about volunteering and
increased membership in his volunteer group, Real Men, Real Heroes
of Wichita.
Robinson received his award for 17,000 hours of volunteer work

Starbucks Makes It Easy to Join Obama's "Civilian National Security Force"Submitted by northstar on Thu, 01/15/2009 - 22:26
This is a two-part post because zapatista brought up a different angle on this, so I had to do some checking elsewhere on the net. I like the Alex Jones show, but hopefully the article was'nt sensationalized to grab ones attention.
Starbucks: "Are You In" Obama's Civilian National Security Force?
Starbucks wants to make it easy to join Obama's proposed paramilitary brown shirt volunteers. "Starbucks will honor each person who pledges with a free tall brewed coffee beginning Wednesday, Jan. 21 through Sunday, Jan. 25. The goal of the effort is to raise pledges in excess of one million hours of service from all over the country," a Starbucks press releases states.
Starbucks wants to "make it easy to participate in the President-elect's call for national service." Back in September, the Christian Science Monitor reported that Obama plans to "leverage volunteerism in communities across the country" and make government "cool again."
Fortunately, a lot of people are beginning to realize government is never cool, as the founders warned a couple hundred years ago.
More at: http://www.infowars.com/?p=7172
----- ----- -----
I want to add this other article in relation to what zapatista brought up, thanks zapatista.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | Staff writer Emi Endo contributed to this report.
January 15, 2009
Starbucks Corp. said yesterday that it is asking its customers to donate five hours of time to their communities as part of an initiative timed to coincide with President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration.
Customers who fill out a pledge card - available in stores - to give five hours of time to a local volunteer opportunity of their choice will receive a free tall brewed coffee Jan. 21-25, a $1.79 value.
The initiative comes as Obama, who called during his presidential campaign for a renewed commitment to community service, takes office Tuesday.
Starbucks said it is partnering with HandsOn Network, a nonprofit organization that attempts to bolster volunteerism, for the program. Starbucks said it hopes to raise pledges for more than 1 million hours of service through the campaign, called "I'm In."
Through the HandsOn Network site, volunteers can search for opportunities in their neighborhoods.
One Long Island organization listed is Island Harvest, in Mineola, which collects and distributes food for the hungry.
Randi Shubin Dresner, the group's president and chief executive, welcomed the chance to draw additional volunteers, which she called a "mainstay for our organization."
Volunteers are needed to sort and move food and answer phones, she said - even if they can't commit that much time.
"A program like this is very timely," she said.

Turn this bucket of horse manure back on them

"Bend over and grab your ankles" should be etched in stone at the entrance to every government building and every government office.
My thought exactly
Beat them at their own game
Any takers out there to spend 5 hours cleaning my yard for ...
$1.79?? Oh, yeah; I'll throw in all the coffee you can drink, too! Going once - going twice ...
Too bad he just didn't come out and say the CIA and Mossad

But, any thing that Obama does, will and has been marked "null 'n void upon arrival"! He's a dead President before he starts.

The "scary" part comes into play when he tries to validate himself.
Give us back our money guy's
I can't wait for dumb soccer moms standing in line at a closed store." Surely they will be open soon ",will be there cry.
Starbucks is over
Man just think a company that cut it,s own throat in a depression.....real smart.
Do you have impression that Obama is not wildy popular?
You should get that looked at.
what did they do to "cut their own throat"?
They'll want a bail-out
after all...they're too lame to fail.
WHERE"S the VIDEO of Starbuck's Uniform w/ ss swastika armbands!

You know, the Coffee giant employee in his pretty Brown Shirt Uniform with his Red SS German Swastika Arm Band looking all pretty an nice. Asking the youth of our country to rethink Hitler's Plan.
Would be too funny.. OR should I say embarrassing for Starbaby Bucks! LOL
The Winds of Change!
personally can't see how anyone would drink their coffee in the first place. It plain sucks and is way over priced. I prefer to go to my local gas station or Cumby's .They have better coffee and cheaper prices. Dunkin Donuts sucks too. Be prepared for them to do the same thing as Starbucks. Maybe even McDonald's ,Burger King ,Taco Bell and the list goes on. Of course all the sheeple will sign up just for a free cup of coffee. To hell with community service. Let the people on welfare be made to do it,not the working Americans. Too many people on welfare sitting around on their asses getting a free ride, let them pay back by doing community service for nothing!!!
I agree with your assessment of Starbucks coffee. Too strong, too dark and often bitter. And way, way overpriced. Impressive marketing in the past, however - they started a trend of coffee houses in the U.S.
But when you say Dunkin Donuts (coffee) sucks, you go too far! I love their coffee best of all. It's a great morning blend. Maybe the best I ever had.
Step outside rp and we'll duel.
That's 35 cents an hour.
Oh hypocritical liberals.
"We will never give up. We will never give in." - Dr. Ron Paul
"We will never give up. We will never give in." - Dr. Ron Paul
It's just a "local volunteer opportunity."
That includes the crisis pregnancy center, private food bank, Friend's of the Library book sales, and shoveling old peoples' driveways (in my town there are volunteers for that--you call the city police, and they call the volunteers). I'm about to spend 4 days helping out with a FOL book sale as I do every year. Maybe this year Starbucks will treat me to a venti decaf Americano for doing it. I plan to check.
P.S. My work at the book sale is not altogether altruistic. I get first dibs on the books as they come out of the boxes!! Plus I just like handling books.
Well, that cures me...
I am now officially boycotting them.
they're tanking anyway
This unprecedented zionist company needs to tank. The biggest liberal creator in America and one of the biggest donor of Israel.
Instead get your natural organic coffee and other nutrients from places like enerfood or nutiva.
are they really a huge
are they really a huge contributor to israel??
i've been told that before but i have ignored it for 4 years!!
Wow, I guess they were correct in stating that Obama's supporters were "Latte Liberals"

Bravo ! ...
touche etc... ;-)
starbucks isn't just a little coffee shop
It is a corporate and political whore.
I went on their website and I can find no direct indication..
.. that this is an Obama thing. How can/should we deduce that it is? Because of the dates of the offer? Because they coincide with the inauguration. How does The Government play into this.. Who does Starbucks give the info of our volunteerism too? In other words how does signing on to 'Starbucks' plan of mass volunteerism and comunity service lead to a national security force ala Obama militia? The dots.. if there.. are quite hidden and decisive.
Do you remember Starbuck's last volunteerism campaign...
during the Bush administration ? Neither do I.
Although this effort may have no official ties to the new administration, it's hard to fathom how one could not think this campaign is not a symbolic or sympathetic gesture towards the Obama administrations political ambitions. Seriously.
Starbucks has dropped out of my top ten stops for coffee !
For the past year I have been doing some research on Starbucks. I've noticed biased circumstances not only surrounding the local establishments but the actual management and operations of the Starbucks Corporation. I've looked into anything from the logo picture to ownership and history background.
The past few months questionable yellow and red lights have been popping up. This post is another topic that I will be checking into. Until I am able to clear up many questions and actions by this company at every level I have decided to cease my daily cup of java or two.
I've had relatives and friends who have wrorked with or in this company who have had many concerns to the activities that would raise eyebrows if it would hit the media. All my friends for legitimate reasons have resigned their positions to move on to freedom jobs.
I will leave it at that for now, until I complete my research. As for fellow patriots, I suggest that you set standards for freedom making decisions in every aspect of your life. Do not allow individuals, groups, companies, politicians, etc. condition your thinking to the corruption that has infiltrated freedom. Take a stand. Each and every person taking a stand can make a difference in taking our country back for freedom and liberties sake.
As far as the volunteer issue. I have seen first hand businesses and companies abuse the honest volunteers time and help for their own cause. Volunteer is another word that has been used for greed and gain for companies and organizations through out this land. It is time we weed out such groups. Be sure of your decisions. Do not base decisions on a wind of doctrine.
You're not the only one
But I've only gotten strange looks so I don't talk about Starbucks. It's been a sacred cow to so many for some "strange" reason. It's never been straight, from day 1.
Just the reactions for mentioning it sounds alarm bells for me. Don't mess with the beloved Starbucks lol. So I don't ever talk about it.
Glad to know someone else has noticed the symbolism exposes it.
Care to elaborate on what you've discovered ?
I'd like to hear more of what you've learned about Starbucks.
Starbucks is where I go if there aren't any local coffee shop options. I really prefer not to give them my business at all. It is the coffee of last resort. Their drip coffee is nasty and the predatory nature towards independent shops is disturbing. The one upside of this economic Titanic that our government has created, is that Starbucks is taking a hit and closing stores.
As for volunteering it's a beautiful and important thing. In the current context however, it's a very loaded word- not without political implication nor ramifications. I live in a liberal neighborhood, it was a sea of Obama bumper stickers during the election cycle. I wonder how long it will take for the "brown shirts" to come door to door signing folks up ?
Tell us more about what you've learned.
Article Title is Misleading and Ridiculous
This is a call to *volunteer* for a private organization. As long as Obama, Bush, Clinton, Reagan, whoever ask for volunteers to make our community better I have no problem with that. The article title is completely ridiculous.
I would'nt make up a title like that either
That is the title of the first article from AJ's web site. I also included a second article that puts a different angle on the whole thing. I'm only posting what is written. I don't twist articles. Please read zapasista's post about it.
Show your support on the Ron Paul Map !
People worldwide support Dr. Paul too :-)
Real eyes realize real lies
We want our country back
Every year is a year for Ron Paul!
Wow, anyone
That's why it's being kicked off at Starbucks
The same place where people buy a $5 cup of coffee hand over fist, twice a day. Is that crazy enough for you?

Fleetwood Mac does their best work in dramatic circumstances. They put out their finest album in the midst of personal turmoil and needed Bill Clinton to broker a reunion in 1993. As recently as last year, Mick Fleetwood proclaimed that the band wouldn't tour again because of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks' commitments to their solo careers. Yet after nearly four years of inactivity, Fleetwood Mac was back playing in the city where its formative lineup came together.
"It smells like you're having a good time out there!" Buckingham joked midway through the band's marathon 23-song, two-and-a-half hour set. And it appeared that he and his bandmates were as well. There were smiles, hugs and handholding, something that seemed hard to imagine back in the day.
In February, Buckingham hinted that the band had completed their first batch of new material since 2003's Say You Will. Late last month, Fleetwood Mac quietly released a four-song EP called Extended Play, and last night performed "Sad Angel" and "Without You." While the songs had their trademark intimate soft rock sound (with a bit of bite), it's hard to call them classics.
They played with intensity; Buckingham's solos were fiery and mystical, reaffirming his status as one of the more overlooked guitar players in rock history. Mick Fleetwood's drum solos were gutbusting, while bassist John McVie's steady proved why he remains their steady foundation.
But in the end, the band's biggest attraction is still the spellbinding Nicks, still a siren at 64. Her wardrobe these days is, of course, boho chic, although it's unlikely that a younger Nicks would have thrown on a warm coat mid-set and complained to the crowd about the chilly weather. Still, despite years of cocaine abuse and going under the knife to remove nodules on her vocal chords, her raspy, vulnerable voice sounded like it did when the band was in peak form. She twisted and twirled around the stage
The group shared personal stories about Los Angeles. Prior to a tender "Landslide," Nicks confessed that she never expected the song to be so beloved when she first penned it in 1973. Buckingham repeated his anecdote from Dave Grohl's Sound City documentary: He'd told Fleetwood if he were to join the band, his then-girlfriend to the mix as well.
See also: Dave Grohl On His Film Tribute to the Studio That Gave the World Nevermind
Nicks and Buckingham may have initially written the songs of Rumours out of spite and anger, but last night they glanced and shot smiles at one another while trading verses. Having beaten the long odds to survive, it would be understandable if Fleetwood Mac treated these shows as a nostalgia tour. Instead, they're reinvigorated and ready to release more material.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
The Boeing KC-46 Tanker program has reached a milestone with the U.S. Air Force after completing a preliminary design review for the next-generation aerial refueling tanker.
The review, which began March 21 and ended April 27, demonstrated that the preliminary design of the KC-46A Tanker meets system requirements and establishes the basis for proceeding with detailed design.
Chris Bogdan, Air Force Maj. Gen., said Boeing is meeting commitments and staying on schedule.
"This is important news for the nation's warfighters, because it reaffirms our commitment to delivering the KC-46A tanker on schedule," Bogdan said.
The program's next major milestone is a Critical Design Review (CDR) that will take place in the summer of 2013. The CDR will determine that the design of the KC-46A is mature and ready to proceed to the manufacturing phase.
Maureen Dougherty, Boeing KC-46 Tanker vice president and program manager, said the company has the foundation in place to enter the detailed design phase.
"The KC-46 team is designing an aircraft that will offer superior, modern multi-role capabilities for the warfighter, including advanced refueling systems and military avionics, and the ability to transport cargo, passengers and patients," Dougherty said.
Boeing will build 179 next-generation aerial refueling tanker aircraft that will begin to replace the Air Force's fleet of 416 KC-135 tankers.
The company expects to deliver 18 combat-ready KC-46A Tankers by 2017.

About Timothy Niebauer
Timothy Niebauer is a physicist who lives and works in Boulder. Tim obtained his phD from Colorado University Boulder a couple dozen years ago and has lived in the area for over 25 years. Father of 3 he originally purchased Meeker Peek for the enjoyment of his family but as the kids grew and left home to start their own lives he decided to keep Meeker Peek but to rent it out to others who wished to share the area with their own families. As a boy, he and his EIGHT siblings enjoyed every summer in the Estes Park area and he wanted to open his home to other kids so they could also grow up with some fond memories of summer in the Rockies!
Timothy Niebauer purchased this house in 2000
Why Timothy Niebauer chose Estes Park
As a boy, he and his EIGHT siblings enjoyed every summer in the Estes Park area. He has many fond memories of those days. When he decided to rent Meeker Peek to vacationers he thought it would be a nice way for other children to created some fond memories of summer in the Rockies!
What makes this house unique
Allenspark is a small suburb of Estes Park. It has less than 500 year round residents! But it is conveniently located between the towns of Lyons and Estes Park and literally at the foot of Rocky Mountain National Park. A perfect place to stay while in the area with easy access to everything the Rockies has to offer. But it also provides so much more peace and quiet than some of the homes in downtown Estes Park. No noise from the summer crowds and traffic, just the quiet of mountains.
Tim realizes that kids today need their 'devices' and many people need to check in with work (even on vacation - it's the new way of the world!). So he has provided hi speed internet, wifi and satellite tv access for Meeker Peek. There's no cell service at the house, but there's a land line for receiving calls, and most people have video chat available through their computers nowadays. Warmth, comfort, conveniences, views, peace and quiet. What more could you want?
Guestbook comments from the owner
june: Joan Miller: Our daughter-in-law and son visited us to spend this week here so she could share her childhood memories of Estes Park summers at her Aunt's house. We flew here from New Jersey. I was very impressed with the awesome landscapes. We hiked and picnicked, shopped and celbrated our 43rd anniversary at a restaurant. We laughed and shared memories. This beautiful cabin was welcoming to come home to each day. Definitely a great vacation! June: Duane, Margi, Megan, Greg and Brian Pickett: We really loved your beautiful cabin and the amazing views. Not to mention the many hummingbirds that stopped by. Thank you for sharing your place with us for a few days! August - the Coles from China: We were able to vacation here with my parents and siblings for a week and my husband's parents and siblings. We had a very lovely and restful time, slept and really RMNP and Meeker Peek!

Julie Heffernan's "Infinite Work in Progress" at Oklahoma City Museum of Art
by Suzanne on March 2nd, 2012
Self Portrait as Post Script by Julie Heffernan, 2007, oil on canvas, 67 x 56 inches – click to enlarge
Announcements of new Heffernan shows (thank you, Phantasmaphile!) are always a good excuse for me to go for a dive in the endless pool of her archived works – and realise that Booty (see image above and below) remains my favourite series to date.
And although I'm not entirely sure which of her flora-and-fauntastical self-portraits will be on show at the Infinite Work in Progress solo show, the well-chosen title and the fact that there's over 20 works on display both suggest that the probability that you'll get to see something from the Booty series is mathematically speaking relatively high.
I know I normally tend to post free exhibitions here but yes, I would still say that it's worth the $12 (OUCH, Y THOUGH?!) admission fee.
Details below.

Allison Schulnik's "Mound" at Nerman Museum, Overland Park, Kansas
by Suzanne on February 28th, 2012
Still from Mound video by Allison Schulnik, 2011 – click to enlarge
I don't think I ever had a) an exhibition announcement for Overland Park, Kansas and b) so little information on a show as there seems to be neither preview nor press release for Allison Schulnik's Nerman Museum show so I guess it's just an uhmm.. exhibition of Allison Schulnik's video work? Yay. ¬_¬
From the three images on the museum website, all I can gather is that more recent works will be on show as the pictures are all stills from her Mound video that the museum recently acquired and which you can see below.

To wrap up 2k11 on the Wurzelblog, I decided to post the 20 articles you guys liked best – according to likes, shares and reactions – and I must say, you've got a rather amazing and futureproof taste in the arts, people.
Many thanks for taking the time to submit stories, comment and interact in the past year(s).
(In order of popularity and ordered into rather random categories. Click on images to read stories.)
(Late) Crismis YouTube Special
by Suzanne on December 25th, 2011
Please excuse the lack of updates in the recent past, gentle reader. It's due to very bad internet access that pretty much only allows me to update my Facebook with the usual award-winning and highly offensive daily dose of anti-information.
Anyways, because this is an oh-so special time of consumerist rubbishness, I decided that I should really annoy you and your family with some very obnoxious LOLmas videos for absolutely no reason.
Featuring an awesome Jewish kid, a very disappointed non-Jewish kid, Heino, as well as Irish and 3D creepiness. Thanks to PoE for the inspiration and beautiful and very talented Suzanne Walsh for the Moving Crib video from her homeland.
Oh, and if you made it this far without an intracerebral hemorrhage, I suggest you now lock yourself in a pitch-black room with this video projected onto all four walls. Then swallow the key.
Merry Whatever from Wurzeltod. x
"Surrealismus in Paris" at Fondation Beyeler, Riehen, Basel

I dislike the way big art metropoleis *cough* London *cough* always label their sell-out shows *cough* Leonardo da Vinci *cough* as "Shows of the Century" when - IF you can afford the outrageous admission prices at all - these shows are normally so totally overrun you really can't appreciate the art or are even given a specific time slot and need to get the hell out after 30 minutes. Trust me, I know. I actually went to the last "big da Vinci thing" in London a couple of years back but I can't even recall whether it was at the V&A, the Royal Academy or the British Museum. All I remember is that I COULDN'T SEE SHIT and people had the NERVE to bring their Dan Browns along. Jesus Christ.
Anyways, so thankfully, there's always the smaller, quieter places that put on masterpieces of curating in the middle of nowhere – pretty much overlooked by the international media.
Well, one such tremendous art historical chef-d'oeuvre of a show is currently taking place at the Fondation Beyeler in Riehen near Basel.
It's devoted to Surrealism in Paris and features some of the most outstanding works of the one art movement that will never ever die.
Amongst the usual suspects that I won't even bother mentioning here because the Beyeler is pretty notorious for its huge collection of surrealist art, you will meet the conjoined limbs of Hans Bellmer, the giant eyes of Paul Delvaux, the apocalyptic dreamscapes of Max Ernst and the sculptural synaesthesia of Méret Oppenheim.
Yes, I know right?! o_O
The exhibition looks also very stunning from an interior design point of view and a lot of effort, time.. and obviously money.. has been spent to contextualise and document the pieces. Definitely one to check out if you're in Switzerland.
Surrealismus in Paris runs until the end of January 2012. Details below.

Les Deux Garçons at Jaski Gallery, Amsterdam

L'Éphémère tangible by Les Deux Garçons, taxidermy, mixed media, 2011, 116 x 85 x 30 cm – click to enlarge
We're staying in Taxidermistan for yet another blog post. This time, we're revisiting the Dutch taxidermy artists Les Deux Garçons who I featured waaaaay back in the olden days in both the Porcellana Nervosa and Taxidermia Wurzeltodensis threads because they are so damn awesome.
And well, the two brothers have been busy since then and are currently showing brand new works at Jaski Gallery in Amsterdam. From what I understand, only the first 10 pieces of this preview will be on display (actually, I reckon it's probably everything that's dated with 2011) but I'm convinced you won't be disappointed if you enjoy the sickly sweet branch of taxidermy art.
Oh, and if you happen to have the… errrm… modest amount of €12,500 in your wallet, you can even purchase the title piece of this exhibition: L'Éphémère Tangible (see top image).
On show until November 27. All details below.

I'm not sure how many of you remember my appeal to save the beloved Mice Museum that I posted back in March this year.
Well, good news is it's been saved. And that means all of Margaretha Dubach's original 22 display cabinets with taxidermied and skeletal mice telling the story of Otto Maus – who happens to be Hieronymouse's cousin – and the phantasmagoria and nightmares he encounters after being chased away for stealing pudding.

The mice are now in the capable paws of Christian D. Link and the little furry friends are currently on show at Naturhistorisches Museum in Bern, Switzerland, where they will remain on display until January 2012 – I will try to drop by with Hieronymouse himself early next year. He does miss his Emmentaler. And his family.
Details below. For a little video overview (in German) of the original Mice Museum click here.

Impressions of "Essence of Edo-Tokyo" featuring Ryo Arai at ICN, London

Although I missed the opening reception for Ryo Arai's show at London's ICN Gallery, I did manage to check it out after a fantastic Liberty Snake ZeroZeroNain organised by Misanthropop that saw some of London's best post-punk DJs and connoisseurs come together.
Papier-mâché yokai by Ryo Arai, photo by Wurzeltod – click to enlarge
Anyways, after admittedly being initially a bit disappointed that the sculpture on the exhibition flyer was not actually on show, everything completely made up for that slight flaw. So much so that this is hands down my favourite London show of 2k11 after Charles Matton's Enclosures at All Visual Arts earlier this year.

It was tricky to capture all the details of the gorgeous papier-mâché texture of the sculptures in the photos but I hope you nevertheless enjoy these impressions of the show.

What's more is that the ICN staff was extremely sweet, helpful and very knowledgeable and I purchased an absolutely gorgeous and apparently out-of-print Ryo Arai monograph for as little as a handful of sushi.

East London can be glad to have this magical new place delivering so much Japanese ocular and culinary goodness to the area.
Essence of Edo-Tokyo will remain on view until this Saturday, November 19, so do go check it out if you're in London.

A Mid-November Dance with Death
by Suzanne on November 16th, 2011
Pest from Bilder des Todes oder Todtentanz für alle Stände by Carl Merkel & Johann Gottfried Flegel, Leipzig, 1850 – click to enlarge
"I cook doom in the air and what breathes has to die."
It's this time of year again – a time of such enormous transformation and transmutation in nature – when I find myself doing strange and silly things like obsessively reading the Nibelungen or losing myself in Skyrim because of some ominous melancholy and a deep longing for being reunited and rot away with the earth, the elements, of sinking, of dissolving, of dreamless thankful sleep.
And I really miss how this time of year feels like in my homeland. I miss the magic of how the mist and will-o'-the-wisps rise magnificently over the frosty fields and graveyards, how the forests creak with the cold like old bones, how the crows complain over the lack of grains, how the dormice hurriedly prepare their beds of leaves for a harsh winter.
Jungfrau from Bilder des Todes oder Todtentanz für alle Stände by Carl Merkel & Johann Gottfried Flegel, Leipzig, 1850 – click to enlarge
"Youth, so fiery, with cheeks so red. So blissful is love – so hideous is death."
I miss the lake steaming in the morning, I miss still gasping at that fierce, majestic and omnipotent ancient natural fortification wall, the Alps, putting on its snowy white coat under the absolutely colourless and closed heavens even though I have seen its sight a million times. I miss the smell of bonfires and the sound of whips cracking in the clear glassy evening air. I miss hearing cowbells and spotting lanterns dancing like fireflies in the distant dark.
But mostly, I miss hiding in the medieval section of libraries hugging the radiator and a cup of really shitty instant coffee, completely immersed in studying Totentänze only to be thrown out at closing time and walking home aimlessly and hurt and finding myself in front of the Spreuer Bridge – that illustrated passage over the river Reuss talking to me so vividly from 1630 via the playful and treacherous skeletons of Caspar Meglinger.
Deliquent from Bilder des Todes oder Todtentanz für alle Stände by Carl Merkel & Johann Gottfried Flegel, Leipzig, 1850 – click to enlarge
"One death as retribution for the other. So does both justice and crime serve me."
Growing up in Catholic Switzerland meant I've seen A LOT of danse macabres in my early childhood and by the time I moved to Protestant Basel to study, I was ready for their more scientific, demystified and bürgerliche understanding of the dance of death. I can't say I understood it at first – I felt it was sorely lacking in the flamboyant Baroque accusatory celebration of decadence and the deadly sins. Protestant Totentänze are never about a sexy death. What I saw was a way more silent and depressing death. Anonymous diseases finishing people off from within instead of inebriated tomfoolery until the very end and very dull modest existences just being blown out rather than the grotesque fights for life and death seen in Catholic cycles.
It took a short train journey in 2002 from Basel to the university library of Freiburg im Breisgau (it's a fucking Goth uni – the art department was literally in the catacombs) to rekindle my love for the Totentanz. It was there where I found a copy of the Leipzig Todtentanz für alle Stände (Dance of Death for all Classes) – excerpts of which you can see here.
Handwerker from Bilder des Todes oder Todtentanz für alle Stände by Carl Merkel & Johann Gottfried Flegel, Leipzig, 1850 – click to enlarge
"This house that you have built for yourself – let me see whether it fits you."
Todtentanz für alle Stände was conceived by Carl Merkel and the woodcuts are by the absolutely fantastic Johann Gottfried Flegel. It was published in Leipzig in 1850. You can read the entire book here. I am not ashamed to admit that I cried when I first saw these – the carefully selected botanic symbolism of each and every scene relating to the trade or rank of the portrayed person, the way scenes turn into ornament, ornament into filigree and finally filigree into calligraphy. A whole world opened itself up to me when I first saw these and I hope you will appreciate getting lost in them too. I'm sorry I couldn't make the English translation rhyme like the German original – it would take me ages to do it gracefully.
I would like to thank my dear friend Peacay from BibliOdyssey for making me remember this very special Totentanz. You have no idea how much finding this on your blog means to me, PK.
How lucky we are to walk amongst the proud dead.

So, how do we get started with Blender? Well, the easiest way to get Blender is simply download it for free from Blender.org. All you need to do is go to the website and click on the Download button that's right there. That brings you to a page where there is every major platform supported. You can get Blender. You can look at the documentation. You can actually get the source code to Blender and compile it on your own machine. On this page is Blender for 32 bits and 64 bits, Linux in 32 bits or 64 bits, the Mac OS X versions, as well as high-end graphics work stations from Solaris and Irix.
If you do get the Windows version, you will need to download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package from Microsoft, if you're not running Vista. If you're running XP or Windows 98 or some other older version of Windows, you'll have to get this Visual C++. Blender cannot redistribute it, since it is a proprietary package from Microsoft. Once you do that, you simply run the installer, make a few easy choices about where to put your custom folders and your custom directories and like that, and you're off and running.
The other place to get Blender from for free is to download a customized build from GraphicAll.org. If you go in here, you have first of all, the latest builds, any latest bug fixes or experimental builds that people are trying out, feel free to download those. Also, down here at the bottom of the page, you can get optimized builds based on the actual PC chip that's inside your PC. Even if it's a Windows PC, you may have an AMD Quad Core or an Intel Quad Core.
That is able to process much faster and those are called SSE3s or SSE2s. If you have that kind of chip in your machine, you can download this particular customized optimized build and Blender will run like 30-40-50% faster when doing rendering. That's how you can get Blender and download and install Blender, get up and running as fast as possible. The other item to note is that Blender uses the Python language, which is an open source language for extending and running what's called scripts.
So that's a very end-user-friendly language that you can program Blender in and program against Blender and cause Blender to do all sorts of neat and wonderful things which you can actually customize and extend Blender. When you install Blender, you'll be brought to the Python site. It's not absolutely required that you have the latest and greatest Python language installed. In fact, you need to install Python 2.5, but it's always a good thing to have, in case you do start getting into running scripts.
You won't be able to run them unless you have the Python language installed on your computer.

Anne Arundel Community College, founded in 1961, is located in Arnold, Maryland. The college was named "Community College of the Year" by National Business Alliance in 2000. AACC also has received many other awards in recent years. For 2011-2012, AACC Athletics won the Dr. Jack Cistriano Sportsmanship Award, presented annually by the Maryland Junior College Athletic Conference to the member school whose teams have demonstrated the best sportsmanship in the academic year. The college also is the first higher education institution in Maryland to earn a rating from the Association for the Advancement of Stability in Higher Education. AACC achieved a Silver ranking as the result of a three-year process.
AACC offers courses for people of all ages. Apart from the regular curriculum, there are many Continuing Education, Gifted and Talented, home school, Kids in College, Jump Start classes, online, and weekend classes offered. They also offer a variety of camps for kids during the summer.
AACC History[edit]
The college started holding classes in September 1961. There were 270 students enrolled and the classes were held at Severna Park High School in the late afternoon and evening.
Dr. Andrew G. Truxal was the first president as the college moved to a 165-acre (0.67 km2) campus in Arnold, Maryland in September 1967. The school was awarded full accreditation by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (now the Middle States Commission on Higher Education) in April 1968.
Dr. Robert P. Ludlum became the second president in August 1968, when Dr. Truxal retired. During his 8 year term, he oversaw the expansion of the campus. In 1976, Dr. Justus D. Sundermann became the third president, but only served for a short time. Dr. Thomas E. Florestano became the fourth president in 1979 and served until 1994. In that period the campus expanded to 230 acres (0.93 km2) and increased in enrollment, programs, and services.
The college's accreditation was reaffirmed by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools in 1994, 2004, and 2014. They were also awarded approval of the college's programs and services from the Maryland Higher Education Commission, and the National League for Nursing and the Maryland Board of Nursing granted accreditation to their nursing sequence.
On Aug. 1, 1994, Dr. Martha A. Smith became AACC's fifth president, calling for student success through higher expectations and new ideas on how to educate students. She retired Aug. 1, 2012.
A native of Maryland, Dr. Dawn Lindsay is the sixth president of Anne Arundel Community College She is known for her ability to develop mutually beneficial community partnerships. Dr. Lindsay has served in the role of staff, faculty and administrator at various community colleges and is aware of the unique needs of both instructional and student service programs. Her unique and diverse background provides a multifaceted understanding of the needs of various stakeholders. Dr. Lindsay earned a doctorate in Organizational Leadership from Pepperdine University, a master's in Educational Counseling, a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Bachelor of Social Work in Social Work from Western Maryland College (now McDaniel College).
From fall 2011 through spring 2013, the college is celebrating its 50th anniversary - 50 years from the time students first entered the doors through the year of the first graduating class.

Will Wright's new IP focuses on players' individual, everyday lives
Wright, speaking via a video stream, said he wanted to make games that "are extremely relevant to the player, and extremely unique to each individual." To Wright, the ability to have different player experiences with single games is what makes the medium unique.
"That really is the most important advantage that we have in games," Wright said, "And I don't really see us grabbing that and going down that path as fully as we could."
With his new start-up, Syntertainment, formed with former Stupid Fun Club members, Wright wants to make a game that speaks to players' individual lives, as he revealed when pressed further on his new IP:
"Well, I am very interested in basically how we build a game about the player, around the player's life, around the things that they they know, the places they go, the people they hang out with."
While the source material sounds familiar, Wright's new game likely won't come to PCs. When asked if DRM could present issues as it did for EA's SimCity, Wright said, "Well, what I'm working on now is going to be much more of a mobile-based experience, and it's in a totally different ballpark economically and business-wise from the old shrink-wrap model."
It's coming up to five years since Wright's last major game, namely 2008's Spore. Since then, he left his position as head of Maxis to focus on EA's Stupid Fun Club think tank. He eventually left the company proper to create two start-ups, Hivemind and then Syntertainment. It's been a long wait for one of gaming's most celebrated developers to make his return, but with details emerging, chances are it may happen sooner rather than later - well, relatively sooner. This is Will Wright.

History and Culture History The Ahtna people have occupied the Copper River basin for the past 5,000 to 7,000 years. They had summer fish camps at every bend in the river and winter villages throughout the region. Copper Center was a large Ahtna Athabascan village at one time. In 1896 Ringwald Blix built Blix Roadhouse, which was very highly regarded for its outstanding services. The Trail of '98 from Valdez joined with the Eagle Trail to Forty Mile and Dawson. 300 destitute miners spent the winter here, and many died of scurvy. Copper Center became the principal supply center for miners in the Nelchina-Susitna region. A telegraph station and post office were established in 1901. A school was constructed in 1905, which brought a number of Native families to Copper Center. In 1909 it was designated a government agricultural experiment station. In 1932 the original roadhouse was destroyed in order to build the Copper Center Lodge. This lodge is on the National Register of Historic Roadhouses and is now considered the jewel of Alaskan roadhouses. In the late 1930s and early 40s, construction of the Richardson and Glenn Highways made the region more accessible. The first church in the Copper River region, the Chapel on the Hill, was built here in 1942 by Vince Joy and U.S. Army volunteers stationed in the area. Mr. Joy built other churches and a Bible college in the area over the years. Culture Athabascan Indians represent the primary Alaska Native group.

Oki mobilises iris scanner software
Oki has been eyeballing the mobile phone market and witnessed an opportunity for increased security. As a result, it has developed an iris recognition software that may help ensure undesirables are prevented access from our most cherished communications devices. Although technical details are still somewhat scarce, the Japanese …
If only they could get it working on an iPhone then some enterprising hacker could start harvesting iris scans using the recently publicised exploits and hey-presto! We can all start getting into Steve Jobs's biometrically guarded throne room using a picture of his iris held up to the camera.
A bit misleading...
The image makes it look like you can do it with the front (videocall) camera. But this is usually a much lower res device than 1megapixel - it's the rear camera that usually has the MPs.
There are a few mobiles out there with swivel cameras, but otherwise, trying to take a picture of your iris without being able to see what you're doing is liable to take a tad longer than 0.5 seconds...

A six-story, six-unit building is slated for 591 Washington Avenue, between Pacific and Dean Streets. There's signage up on the construction fence that notes the owner as "Pacific Blue VIII – 904 Pacific St." If you recall, 904 Pacific Street is the Hello Living condo building plagued by legal trouble before it was rebranded. Last year reports said the group of investors behind 904 Pacific pushed out Eli Karp, the Hello Living frontman, so it's unclear whether or not this is another Hello Living project. Hello Living is currently working on an eleven-unit building at 618 Washington Avenue, across the street, and at 834 Sterling Place, which is further south into Crown Heights.
