Autism Rates Have Spiked, But Why?
Date Published:
December 20, 2011
According to the Centers for Disease Control, nearly one percent of U.S. children have some form of autism, 20 times higher than the rate in the 1980s. Alan Zarembo of The Los Angeles Times and clinical psychologist Catherine Lord discuss what's behind the growing number of diagnoses.

Update from the field
Jambo Rafiki, Our first week in Nairobi was intense and wonderful. Our dear sister Lin Wafula, founder and director of Project Africa, organized an event that only a magician would be able to manage with success, and she did. Lin recruited more than 600 women from the slums of the Makadara district to attend the Woman To Woman workshop on reproductive health. It was an absolute amazing day, with a plenary session, talks from experts, and mini-science cafes to address more specific issues related to women's health. We were able to hire the same women from Makadara to cook for the event and the almost 700 women and their children were well fed and happy. Women danced, singed, and shared experiences. Once again, these wonderful women reminded me the immense power and strength that are inherent in every single woman. What an amazing day with our Rafiki in Nairobi!
After a very intense week in Nairobi, we started the 14-hour train journey to Mombasa, then by ferry to Likoni and to Lungalunga by matatu. It has been two weeks now since we arrived in Lungalunga and we have conducted two summer health camps already, one in Godo and the other in Perani; we still need to conduct the last one in Lungalunga. We count with the services of public nurse Ms. Josephine Matini who has been coming with us on boda-boda (motorcycle) since the very first day so now the women from the three communities feel comfortable with her and have started seeking her advice. We have hired Ms. Matini to work with the Mobile Clinic throughout the year to serve the same three communities.
A last event, however, has gone beyond my expectations and I am thrilled to inform you that stretching my donations and my grants, and thanks to Project Africa that is providing the facilities, we have managed to create a permanent health post in Lungalunga for our Rafiki who work with Project Africa. We are waiting for the approval from the Minister of Health, and we are hoping to launch the health post on July 7, the same day we will officially launch the Mama-Toto Mobile Clinic. That day, all our Rafiki from the three rural communities will get together for a big celebration with dances and songs.
The success of this health initiative and the urgent need for medical services and health literacy in the area is moving me fast and forward, and as soon as I get into the States, I'll make all the necessary arrangements to turn the "Health by Motorbike" Initiative into a non-profit organization.
My students and Sofia have helped immensely organizing and teaching the health sessions. I am very proud of all of them, and even surprised by the way they have adapted to the very harsh conditions we live in; after all, they understand how privileged we are.
All is well and it will be better.
Love from remote Lungalunga
I love successful stories Aracelli....You women rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much for all tehse works, Lin is a wonderful young woman adn she is touching lives as expected of her...can you see how dreams can come true when you share teh same visoin adn work towards it...nothing is impossible for us adn I am saying taht this is just the begining for these women....
As I always say my dear Aracelli...Welldone, I am proud of you all...I hope teh weather is beautiful?
Love to the women and hugs and kisses to you....

RHR needs more action
Dear Ara,
I was pleased to find someone else who is seriously researching and acting in the area of Reproductive Health and Rights of women. This is a neglected area that is rendered more challenging by the fact that due to patriarchy there is a deafening culture of silence that prevents women from voicing their problems. More and more camps like the ones you are conducting are required especially in the third world countries. In India there is now considerable awareness on these issues but the stress is still on safe motherhood than on the wider area of RHR.

Remember way back in January when I finished my Project 3(six)5? I told you I had an incredible project in the works to showcase the year's efforts. Well, nearly 9 months later I can finally show it off! I'm scaring you with my speed and efficiency, aren't I?
My friend Tim gave me the idea to take each picture I took over the course of the year and turn them into a mosaic. I chose this photo, one of my favorites of the year that happened to have both Elena and Eli in it, as my main photo.
There are a number of programs you can use to make a mosaic from a set of pictures. I chose mosaickr because it worked hand-in-hand with Flickr, where all my photos were already stored. It's easy and it's free – you choose the master image and the photos you want in your mosaic, and mosaickr arranges the photos for you.
I snagged one of the frequent deals that are offered for canvas prints and had the finished mosaic printed on a 20″ x 24″ gallery-wrapped canvas.
I just love the way it turned out. It's so uniquely ours and always draws comments from visitors. I know I grumbled a lot during that year of taking pictures, especially towards the end. Seeing the tiny fragments of our daily life assembled into something so beautiful, though? Totally worth it. And to think, it only took 365 days plus 9 months for me to see the big picture!

Happy late Earth Day, my friends. Apparently it was yesterday. I did nothing to celebrate, but my WordPress theme is called "going green," so I think I celebrate everyday! (Well, as of last Thursday, but still). Apparently, I also missed the premiere of season 4 of the Real Housewives of New Jersey. I am not on my game!
Today was a super busy one at work, which I loved. Although it's always hard to mentally prepare to go back to work after the weekend, I actually love Mondays because I usually have a lot of assignments, so the day FLEW by. It did start out kind of rough with a migraine though, but I got some caffeine, which helped quite a bit. Not perfect, but better.
You know what was perfect? This bowl of goodness:
I took some of the leftover fruit salad from my sister's shower and realized last night that I could top it with Cool Whip. It doesn't look great, but it was a wonderful treat for a mid-afternoon snack. I may have had a spoonful or two this morning while I was putting it together, too
After I got home from work today, I took Milo for a quick walk. James and I are kind of bad about walking him everyday. He is such a good dog and would rather snuggle with us on the couch than go outside. But James pointed out that if we want him to live until he's 40 (in people years, not dog years–it's totally possible), he needs to get more exercise. All you have to do is tell me something will make Milo live longer and I'm all about it.
Luckily, dinner was ready to go in the crockpot, so I didn't have to do much prep when I got back from the walk. I got this recipe for Hawaiian meatballs (I used turkey meatballs) from Six Sisters' Stuff, with the only changes being rice wine vinegar and the amount of each ingredient as there are only two of us to feed.
I also made some brown rice to go with it, but that was the extent of my creativity tonight. My eye's were bigger than my stomach, so I threw a third of this back into the crockpot for leftovers. I ate dinner while catching up on last week's episode of "BFF," the new comedy on NBC. I'm actually enjoying it quite a bit.
So, I'm super happy and kind of not amused all at the same time. I was super excited to participate in Julie's book club this month, so I checked with the front office of my apartment on Thursday for a package from Amazon with the book for this month. My email said it was delivered on April 17, but the office said they didn't have it. Because of the office's hours, I couldn't check back until after work today and, lo and behold, can you see what the date written on my package is?
In case you can't, it says 4-17! I could have been reading this for days! Instead, I have only until Wednesday to try to finish this in order to participate.
I'm glad it finally came (because regardless, I'm excited to read it), just annoyed that I probably have to wait til next month to participate in the book club.
This also changes my plans for tonight. I was going to watch How I Met Your Mother and Dancing With the Stars. James and I are huge Donald Driver fans, so we are watching DWTS for the first season ever. Fun fact: the first gift I ever gave James was a Donald Driver jersey–wayyy back in December of 2008. But now, I'll be reading tonight–not that it's a bad thing
Also, side note, if you are a movie lover–or just want to be entertained–head over to my friend/co-worker (mostly my friend) Staci's blog. She reviewed Cabin in the Woods, and I bet she'll make you want to see it!
Hope everyone has a great night!


text: Nice long profile in today's Globe. My favorite part is the tale of how he was hired: "Bill Belichick was entering his second season as Patriots head coach and had made a deal with one of his assistants, Brian Daboll. If Daboll could recommend a capable coach to take over his internlike duties, there was a chance Daboll could make the upward move from coaching assistant to position coach. Daboll recommended McDaniels, whom he had worked alongside at Michigan State in 1999." So that's how you add new twigs to a coaching tree! http://www.boston.com/sports/footba...09/17/rise_of_mcdaniels_was_well_coordinated/

Now that you've had a few days to recover from all of last week's tryptophan (and booze), it's time to start working it off. But if you've already hit a plateau in your exercise regimen, it's not going to do a whole lot of good to stick to the same old tricks. To help you maximize your payoff in what little time you have hey, it's busy around the holidays we introduce the second installment in our Workout Style series. Here, how to get dressed for the circuit training session known as MetCon3 at Equinox (or whichever muscle-punishing session you attend in your neck of the woods).
The Experience
A high intensity workout consisting of three circuits weights, core, and cardio with a 60-second rest between each circuit, METCON3 is the answer to your stale workout routine. Guaranteed to take you out of your comfort zone and end any plateau, so get ready to sweat.
What to Wear
Nike Dri-FIT T-Shirt ($28), nike.com: Like we said, you're gonna sweat. This'll keep you cool and (relatively) dry by wicking moisture away from your skin.
Adidas Predator UCL Training Shorts ($35), adidas.com: Ditto the benefits of the shirt, but with a shot of color for good measure.
Gap Brushed Fleece Crewneck Sweatshirt ($44.95), gap.com: After this workout, you'll want to have something comfortable on hand to aid in your recovery.
Nike Run+ 3 Shield Sneakers ($110), nike.com: They're light on the feet, and great for jumping. Good thing, since you'll be doing a lot of it.

text: Awesome effects, great cast, brilliant action sequences, breathtaking stunts, amazing scenery and fantastic drama means only one word-EPIC! But, the rediculous running time and the overlong beginning that takes over an hour to get to the actual island lets this film down. You'd think with today's editing systems they'd acually EDIT the start!

Knowing Me, Knowing You: Exclusive Interview with Customer Feedback Specialist, Feefo
Getting feedback from customers on goods and services is crucial to effective marketing. New Media Knowledge met with one firm which is leveraging the Web to enable businesses to improve their business by better understanding customer feedback.
When Bill Cawley (pictured below) shopped online with eBay in 2005, the seed for a new business was sown. Cawley formed Feefo, which stands for 'Feedback Forum', as he believed that eBay could not function effectively without its feedback system which displays whether or not a seller is trustworthy, and thought this could apply to all businesses.
NMK caught up with Cawley to learn more about Feefo.
Briefly introduce us to Feefo
Feefo, which stands for Feedback Forum, provides businesses with a high-quality and low cost online feedback customer forum and research tool. For consumers, it gives anyone with Internet access the opportunity to find out, ahead of buying, what other customers of a Feefo-enabled business think and feel about its products or service.
It enables any business with a website and customer email database to capture fast customer feedback on the quality of their products and services. However, Feefo is not just a tool for product and service feedback. It enables improved service and product offerings, increases the number of website visitors who proceed to an actual purchase and better search engine optimisation (SEO).
It allows businesses to demonstrate that they trust and value their customers. Feefo asks customers on behalf of its clients the all important question – "what do you think about us?" An open-ended question such as this is the best way of finding out what's on customers' minds. If you listen to your customers, then you have your finger on the pulse and are much more capable of refining your offering to cater for your customers' demands, and adapting to changing conditions. Customers are surprisingly pleased to be asked to give their opinions, and delighted if you take note of them.
How does it work on a practical level?
Organisations register with Feefo through its website. Once they have signed up they then send a list of customers who have bought from them in the last few months. The only information needed is what was purchased, when and the customers' email addresses. Feefo then contacts these customers to ask them what they think of the client. A short, straightforward, Feefo-branded email, especially designed to register with a low spam score, directs customers to click on a link to leave feedback.
Feefo provides businesses with a quick and instant snapshot of customer satisfaction and also detailed reports of the feedback received. The client is provided with a custom link to use on their site so that the feedback received can be publicly viewed.
Feefo is the most productive feedback system on the market, receiving an average of nearly 20 per cent response rate from the whole customer base. This demonstrates that the system is easy and quick to use.
You say that "altering the rankings in search engines is an empty gain"? Why do you think that? Surely if you can't be 'found' online then you're less likely find customers to provide feedback in the first place?
One of the benefits of public online feedback is search engine optimisation. Search engines rightly consider new customer feedback to be new and therefore particularly relevant information. The more feedback that is received, the business is pushed further up on natural search engine rankings. Whilst this is great way of getting the business noticed online, altering the rankings in search engines is an empty gain in the long term. A business will only prosper if it can provide a good service.
Customers will only bother to give feedback if they think that the business will do something about it. This is why Feefo provides the business with the platform to directly respond to feedback. The old fashioned values that operated in the corner shop are a good template for online businesses to follow. In the shop, the man behind the counter talked to his customers, and by doing so, made them enjoy buying from him and keep coming back. He also learnt what his customers wanted, which made him a better supplier as well as a more profitable supplier. This dialogue between customers and businesses is most valuable benefit of feedback.
What's a great example of Feefo in action?
Clifford James sells men's and women's shoes and clothing and is one of the bigger brands of BVG Airflo Group. The company joined Feefo in 2008 having tried, in the past, to collect feedback from customers through a traditional survey with minimal results. Since joining Feefo, the company has had responses from nearly 9,000 customers asked for feedback, and by directly addressing any negative feedback has reduced dissatisfaction among its customers by over 50 per cent.
Of the negative comments received, Clifford James found that at least a quarter were related to delivery problems. This enabled the company to better assess and improve the performance of their courier company. Clifford James also found that customers did not fully understand the return policy for goods and was able to make a few small changes to improve clarity. As a result, customer satisfaction levels improved almost immediately. Customer feedback has not only allowed Clifford James to identify and rectify any problems with their products, customers have also made suggestions for new products which have been acted upon.
Tell me about e-commerce confidence – is there still a way to go to get people to shop online?
The Internet can be both intimidating and overwhelming for customers. Whilst the size of the Web offers a great opportunity for business ventures big and small, it is crowded with thousands of traders, each shouting about their fantastic products and services to grab the attention of roaming shoppers. Not many Internet businesses have a high street presence, or a big brand name like Amazon that is well known. For start-ups and smaller brands in particular, a lack of faith from customers can be a tricky obstacle to overcome.
Recent research by the Office of Fair Trading revealed that almost one in three Internet users are reluctant to shop online due to a lack of trust. Consumers want reassurance that a website offers good products and services in a safe environment. The best way of achieving this is though the testing of people who have bought from the business in the past. Feefo provides a platform for an organisation to show that it cares and is ready to sort out a problem quickly.
Transparency is the key to encouraging online shopping. If a trader has achieved a high percentage positive ranking on Feefo, potential customers can be sure that the trader is reliable. They can also be sure that the business will ask them for their opinion, and that, if they have reason to complain, they can do so in public.
Customers who have responded positively are not given any incentive to do so, and there is no barrier put in the way of complaining if a customer feels it appropriate. They can then clearly see how the business has dealt with previous complaints, which will help to build trust and confidence in the trader.

Star Wars Universe / Re: Star Wars on Blu-Ray« on: September 18, 2011, 06:18 AM »
Thanks for the post, DoctorPadawan. I'm sorry that you had to buy the set to form your opinion, though.
This section allows you to view all posts made by this member. Note that you can only see posts made in areas you currently have access to.
I guess I don't have to ask if the the other site's forums are still down......Huh? What does that have to do with anything?
And my CD of The Black Hole soundtrack by John Barry is in the mail from Intrada. Buying CD's doesn't happen near as often as I'd like, actually.The real rebellion against the Blu Rays would be buying the Lady Antebellum CD because you'd be buying a CD... who does that?
I just bought 3 CDs last week...

Advice selling Car without Tax/MOT/Insurance - Test Drives
Pan111posted 5 years, 11 months ago
Ok...the car will be out of tax and MOT by the end of the month, so will be SORN'd on the drive
If I get someone really insisting on a test drive and they proceed to get stopped, is there any chance I can get in trouble?
I'd imagine to start it would be because its my car and its on the public highway...but what it its the test driver thats at the wheel?
All hypothetical as I hope to have sold the car by the time it all expires :)

- Flynn Jack5 years, 11 months ago #2Show comment tools ReplyAiding and abetting comes to mind and as the registered keeper you may/will be liable as well if used on a public highway.
- Predikuesi5 years, 11 months ago #3Show comment tools ReplyYou will be done for having an untaxed car on the road
- NerdCore5 years, 11 months ago #4Show comment tools ReplyPredikuesiYou will be done for having an untaxed car on the road
good point actually, prob worth putting 6 months on it
- RickT5 years, 11 months ago #5Show comment tools ReplyVehicles are also exempt only when:
•Going to a test centre for a pre-booked MOT, stipulating the time and date
•On an MOT test
•After failing an MOT test, for the purpose of taking the vehicle to a pre-booked appointment at a garage to have the faults rectified
- ThePasty5 years, 11 months ago #6Show comment tools ReplySimply put - if its on the road without tax and mot its illegal and if caught you will be fined etc.
As for letting the person drive it so they get caught, youve knowingly let them drive a car which is unsafe (legal definition as it has no mot) plus no tax and as you own it then its your fault.
You could just say theynicked it off your drive and thank the officers for returning it to you! ;-)
(obviously dont do that cause they will be very mad)
- pghstochaj5 years, 11 months ago #7Show comment tools ReplyAs above, you are both liable - for different things of course. Will it fail a MOT? Would be a good idea to sell it with a year's MOT really.
- foxymissroxy5 years, 11 months ago #8Show comment tools Replysell it sold as seen- spares or repairs!!
- pghstochaj5 years, 11 months ago #9Show comment tools Replyfoxymissroxysell it sold as seen- spares or repairs!!
To sell it spares/repairs it would massively degrade its value.
- Shambolic5 years, 11 months ago #10Show comment tools ReplyThe driver would be charged with several offences, as would you, for "causing and permitting" the use of the car on a road.
If stopped just say that they didn't have your' permission and you will be in the clear.
- Pan1115 years, 11 months ago #11Show comment tools Replyyea...itll be going as spares or repair...cant really justify spending £150 for the Tax and the MOT plus parts to be done...seen simular go for around £200 on ebay....would have expected around that as scrap in the summer with the price of metal so high.
Its a Corsa Ive been using as a back and fore to work car.
I wont allow it to go out for test drives then...I dont know why I posted really...would be silly to allow it on the road without Tax and MOT.
Might grab a 6 month tax disc before the insurance and MOT run out if I havent already got rid...makes it more sell'able then :)

to get caught on the road with it would devalue it to a crushed pile of pants!!

Only relevant if they would have let it be driven in such conditions. However, the value of the car shows that it is only worth describing it as you say anyway :)

Javelina @ the Northside BV-BBG Showcase (more by Jason Walker)
Alright! I get it. Doomriders rules. Revocation is up there. There's a new Converge and Baroness on the way. But even with all of those great releases, it suprises me that Javelina isn't near some of the top of those lists. The band's filthy debut was a monster and their new one, Beasts Among Sheep, only adds to their considerable reputation. If you are a fan of the last LP, this one is a must have. Dig on "Stepchild" above and preorder the limited edition LP version of Javelina's Beasts Among Sheep via Brutal Panda Records and the CD version via Translation Loss.
Speaking of that Doomriders album, Darkness Come Alive is out NOW via Deathwish Records. Though the party vibe that permeated through Black Thunder is mostly gone, it has been replaced by a propulsive punk rock fury and, at times, a Misfits-era Danzig croon (see "Come Alive")! There are quite a few killer moments on this long-player, but we present to you the most "fuck you" of them all, the galloping "Lions" downloadable above!
In our last round up, we shined a light on into the deepest fathoms of Australia and the truly frightening Portal. The band's claustrophobic and positively frightening new death metal LP, Swarth, relies as much on freak-out atmosphere as it does killer discordant riffery. Swarth is due out on 10/20 via Profound Lore and we have a second taste in the form of "Omenknow" above.
Misery Index have completed four new songs and are looking to enter the studio in early 2010 to record their follow up to Traitors! Stoked.
Iron Age @ Cake Shop (more by Jason Walker)
I still remember that kick ass Cake Shop show with Iron Age, Mind Eraser, and Sex Vid, and walking out of that show wanting more. Thankfully, I can add to those great memories with a PAIR of Iron Age shows in the coming weeks! First up, the rowdy Texans will team up with the great Mother of Mercy (profiled here) for a show at Cake Shop (10/16). The next day (10/17), look for the band
to pull a double header with a day show at Generation Records and a night show at The Charleston with Brain Killer, Naam & Descender. Speaking of Mind Eraser, the band will team up with the kick ass Iron Lung for a string of east coast dates which will include Cake Shop on 11/8! Full Iron Age and Iron Lung dates are below.
Black Skies will release the limited edition vinyl from their 2008 EP Hexagon on I'm Better Than Everyone Else Records. The Chapel Hill doom trio is currently on the hunt for drummer #5, but not before blessing us with some seriously killer riffage in the form of "Smoke & Mirrors" above. Preorder Hexagon here.
Power Pellut is also releasing their debut LP via I'm Better than Everyone Else Records. Preorder that here and dig on "Black Betty" from that LP above!
Church of Misery will release a live record culled from their recent set at Roadburn 2009! More details are to come, but look for Burning World to do the honors in November/December of this year. In the meantime, dig on this killer live video from Roadburn 2009!
That video, news on Kowloon Walled City, Boris, Asphyx, Struck By Lightning, Ringworm, Repulsion and more!
an interview w/ Charles Maggio of Rorschach (who are in the middle of their short run of reunion dates)
by Black Bubblegum
Charles Maggio of Rorschach
June 1993 at ABC No Rio with Assuck & Scrog.
That's the last time that the mighty Rorschach blessed NYC. The band called it quits shortly after, splintering into projects like Gern Blandsten Records, Beautiful Skin, Deadguy, Kiss It Goodbye, and tons more, but those great successes only highlighted an undeniable fact: Rorschach were innovative and before their time.
After deciding to reunite earlier this year in honor of the 20th anniversary of the Remain Sedate LP, Rorschach announced a short east coast tour. The band is currently in the midst of that tour, which impacts Asbury Park in their native New Jersey tonight (9/24) and Santos Party House TOMORROW (9/25, tix here).
We spoke with the mighty Charles Maggio (Vocals, owner Gern Blandsten Records) to get to the bottom of the reunion and what we can expect going forward....

"Atlanta progressive metallers MASTODON have confirmed that they are working with composer John Powell and director Jimmy Hayward on the score to "Jonah Hex", the comic-book Western/horror film starring Josh Brolin in the lead role, with support from John Malkovich, Megan Fox, Will Arnett, Michael Fassbender and Michael Shannon. The movie is based on the DC comic series about a horribly scarred antihero who is "a rough-and-tumble gunslinger and part-time bounty hunter whose adventures always ended in blood."More dates have been added to the Adult Swim tour featuring Mastodon, Converge, High on Fire, and Dethklok. One of those new dates is October 29th at Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC, which is one day before the previously announced date at the same venue. Tickets for the new date are now on Ticketmaster presale (password = mastoklok). General sale starts Friday. All dates below...
MASTODON guitarist/vocalist Brent Hinds makes a cameo appearance in the film, which is being directed by former Pixar animator Jimmy Hayward for a June 18, 2010 release." [Blabbermouth]

FYF Fest: Save Our State Parks is happening this Saturday, September 5th at California's L.A. State Historic Park. Tickets for the fest are still on sale (as are limited VIP passes).
The one-day-fest's lineup is a combination of bands that are coming to NYC soon (Black Lips, Kurt Vile, TNV, Cold Cave, to name a few) and bands that hopefully will be coming back to NYC sometime soon (Dillinger Escape Plan, Fucked Up, Mika Miko, "Tim & Eric Special Musical Performance"). The full schedule and more is below.

Yes, that is a clock on his head.
Portal is currently prepping their new album, Swarth, for release via Profound Lore on 10/20. For the unaware, Portal is definitely an odd duck (in the best way possible!), as the Aussies employ discordant chord patterns ala French BM masterminds Deathspell Omega, and a generally discomforting atmosphere abounds. Dig on the extremely promising "Larvae" from Swarth available above! The abstract blackened death metal band from Australia is also one of a few bands that have already been announced for Maryland Deathfest 2010 along with additions like Gorguts, Asphyx, Wolfbrigade, Gridlink, Impaled, and many many noteable others! Full MDF list is below.
Mammoth Grinder has released their new LP, Extinction of Humanity, which is available via Cyclopean Records. The band, which (as we know) shares members with Hatred Surge & Iron Age, combines an old school death metal approach of Entombed / Dismember with the charge of hardcore. Their new LP delivers on the promises made on No Results. Check out a pair of MP3s from Extinction of Humanity available for download above!
As previously discussed, Gnaw Their Tongues are releasing All The Dread Magnificence Of Perversity on 9/8 via Crucial Blast. Check out a song from the LP above, "Rife With Teeth".
In case you somehow missed it, the new Converge track, "Dark Horse" premiered on Stereogum last week. Axe To Fall has been in heavy rotation since I received a copy of this bad boy a few weeks ago, and I think that this could be their best record since Jane Doe. Check out the MP3 above and judge for yourself.
Their show with sunn O))) / Earth / Eagle Twin is little more than three weeks away (tix), and now Pelican has dropped a new MP3 for download from their LP, What We All Come To Need. Dig on "Strung Up From The Sky" above. Helmed by Chris Common (These Arms Are Snakes) in July and featuring appearances from Greg Anderson (sunn O))), Goatsnake, etc), Aaron Turner (Isis), Ben Verellen (Harkonen, Helms Alee), and Alan Epley (Life And Times), the new album is set to blast off at their new home, Southern Lord. Look for Pelican to hit the road with Black Cobra and Disappearer for a fall tour. Black Cobra also recently signed to Southern Lord.
As previously discussed, Kowloon Walled City, is currently prepping their new LP Gambling On The Richter Scale for release 9/29 on The Perpetual Motion Machine. Preorders for the new Kowloon Walled City are up here, but meanwhile, dig on one of the tracks from the LP, "Clockwork", above.

DOWNLOAD: Moutheater - "Swallowed Whole" (MP3)
While I managed to catch most of the "North America is Doomed" show on 8/9, I did scoot over to Union Pool just in time for the mighty Doomriders and Converge-related breathren/new Deathwish signees Acid Tiger. That means that I missed Moutheater (mems-Jesuit) as well as I Hate Our Freedom (mems-Pilot To Gunner, Milhouse).
Fortunately, I was able to catch up with the Moutheater guys prior to Acid Tiger, picking up a copy of their newest LP, Ornament. This noise-crust-core band's long-player sits comfortably in a groove between the Albini-produced greats of yore (Jesus Lizard, Neurosis, Shellac, et al) and in fact, Mr Albini lent his considerable weight to the band's debut 7", Lot Lizard. That LP is out now via Thrashed Records, and you can grab a hold of an MP3 from it above!
Acid Tiger is cut from a similar cloth as Doomriders. Featuring Ben Koller of Converge on drums, the band's vaguely hardcore, vaguely sludge, vaguely punk chug carries less of the party vibe that ran through the center of Black Thunder, but a good portion of the power. Besides the catchy riffs, J Rattlesnake is a riveting frontman and Acid Tiger has the energy to make their debut worth a listen.
New Doomriders material seemed to be the focus of the show on Sunday, and from the sound of it, their upcoming LP Darkness Comes Alive will be less "the soundtrack to chugging beers" and more "the soundtrack to smashing a bottle over another man's head". Great set as usual from this foursome, who closed with "Black Thunder" which ignited a mosh pit (in Union Pool!) but... GUYS! Whats up with being more amazing on Sunday than you were at Europa? Gr.
Converge will join Mastodon, High On Fire, and Dethklok at Hammerstein Ballroom on 10/30. The band's new LP, Axe To Fall, is due via Epitaph on 10/20.

Saviours added to Saint Vitus shows, replace Doomriders on Kylesa tour (because Converge is touring w/ Mastodon)
by Black Bubblegum
Saviours at Union Pool (more by Paul Birman)
Saviours have been added to all three previously announced Saint Vitus dates, which include Europa on 10/16 (tix). In addition, the band will play Summerstage for FREE on Aug 16th with Dinosaur Jr and The Walkmen.
Saviours have also jumped on the previously discussed Kylesa tour, replacing Doomriders who can't make it due to Nate Newton's commitments with Converge (meaning, their impending tour with Mastodon & High On Fire):
"We've gotten alot of messages regarding our dropping off of the Kylesa tour and yes....unfortuately the news is true. Due to scheduling issues between Doomriders and Nate's other band, Converge, we had to pull out of the tour. Our deepest apologies go out to our friends in Kylesa, and also to anyone who had planned on coming to see us play on the tour. We love Kylesa, and we love our brothers in Saviours who have taken our spot on the tour and encourage everyone to go to these shows and have a blast! It's going to be a great tour and we're all very sad that we won't be a part of it. We will hopefully be announcing some exciting tour plans for later in the year very soon. We're sorry everyone! We'll see you next time!" -[Lambgoat]Saviours new album, Accelerated Living, is due out on CD and 2LP via Kemado on 10/27. All dates below...

Can you mosh to death metal performed by cartoons? (more by Zach Dilgard)
I think it was Cookie Monster who said "One Of Things Is Not Like The Other Thing". My thoughts exactly. In a somewhat of a head-scratching lineup, Mastodon, Dethklok, Converge, and High On Fire will hit the road together in October logging shows across our great nation including Hammerstein Ballroom on 10/30. DC gets the Halloween show. Tickets for the NYC show are on sale August 7th, with a few pre-sales happening before that.
"Dethklok is both a fictional death metal band featured in the Adult Swim animated program Metalocalypse, created by Brendon Small and Tommy Blacha, and a virtual band created to perform the band's music in live shows. The band is sometimes cited as an example of "comedy rock" on par with bands such as GWAR and Spinal Tap." [Wiki]Not surprisingly, this tour is billed as "Adult Swim Presents". Dethklok will release their new album, Dethalbum II on 9/9/9.
Meanwhile, High On Fire recently announced that they will begin work on the follow-up to Death Is This Communion, for a 2010 release date. On October 29th, Mastodon will hit Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, for a night of non-riffery, bloated psychedelia, and bad jokes. Set your DVRs! Converge is currently working on new material.
All dates below...

sunn 0)))
According to ancient Mayan prophecy, The Age Of The Fifth Sun draws to a close in 2012 when armageddon will fall upon the land. Considering this is only 2009, it is entirely possible that sunn 0)))'s soundtrack to the end of days/new album, Monoliths & Dimensions, may have been delivered a bit prematurely (out NOW). Not that a moment on Monoliths resembles anything less than meticulous detail; Attila Csihar's Bela Lugosi-like vocals, heavenly choirs, harp, trumpet, and orchestra all add to the nauseating rumble, and at times, shimmering beauty emanating from their full stacks. Pick it up at Southern Lord on CD. Vinyl is due this summer. The boys have also announced a rough sketch idea of their upcoming tour plans:
We are preparing tours as a 4 and 5 piece in support of this opus. Attila Csihar and Steve Moore (Zombi) will be in the ranks as well as a yet undecided 5th member for some shows. Randall Dunn will be on the big guns.Lots of mini-CDs to report on, as Hail of Bullets will release the limited-to-2000 five song Warsaw Rising this summer on Metal Blade and Caïna will release a self-titled MCD via Universal Tongue/Bubonic Productions. Check out a track from that Caïna, "To Pluck The Night Up By Its Skin", available above. Nachtmystium has a MCD, Doomsday Derelicts, out via Battle Kommand, and will release a new split 7" with Cyanide.

East coast/Southeast USA September 18-30
Middle & East Europe/Scandinavia October 17 - Nov 1st
There should also be UK and Japan jaunts following those pieces. We are working on it, more to come.
We are also considering and contemplating a few special event concerts with an expanded acoustic ensemble lineup. This is a whole different ballgame but may be in the cards and we have a few loyal partners in Europe on board to help manifest if/when the time is correct.

While we're on the BM tip, a misanthrope who released my second favorite record of last year, Leviathan, has dropped a new split entitled Sic luceat lux with Greek black metallers Acherontas. Pick it up at Zyklon-B Productions.
Converge is currently in the studio recording their new album, fingers perched with on twitter. Meanwhile, Nate of Converge dropped some details on the new Doomriders record, Darkness Come Alive, which he professes to be "not as [much of a] party record" and a "little more serious".

Black Arrows of Filth & Impurity. I know, the name is kind of a mouthful... but the names of the bands that are associated with this death/grind/ambient crew are pretty common around these parts: Demiricous, The Dream Is Dead, and Racebannon. BAOFAI drop their new album 1984 (Eternal) on Gilead Media and are streaming four tracks at their myspace, but have dropped off "Damn, Girlfriend, That Napalm Exfoliates As It Burns" and "If Shit Were Gold, The Poor Wouldn't Have Assholes" above!

What else?
Converge, Ceremony, Coliseum, Genghis Tron, Rise & Fall and Pulling Teeth @ Europa in Brooklyn - pics
words by Black Bubblegum, photos by Justina Villanueva
That singer from Ceremony got ups, yo!
Did I brush shoulders with death during Converge's set? Nate Newton's swinging bass whizzing inches from my face, Jacob Bannon's foot on my hand as the crowd fought to tear me a part, nor Jacob's swinging microphone straight out of a Roger Daltrey/Who video caused my near collapse. It was a moment of deviant kismet; All of a sudden Jacob Bannon snapped his wrist and whipped the microphone cord causing it to coil around my neck only nanoseconds before a stage diver jumped squarely on top of me. Hanging by the mic cord, my feet were on the floor and my body was at 45 degrees, the crowd around me holding me up from behind. I could feel myself choking until a bouncer rushed over and unwrapped for the cord from my neck... Hung at a Converge show... I guess that one hasn't happened yet (luckily).
The bill for the evening was massive, filled with the Deathwish roster of past (Ceremony) and present (Rise & Fall, Coliseum, Pulling Teeth), save for Genghis Tron, Converge's tour mates from last year's trek with Baroness and The Red Chord. Unlike Justina (who shot the whole show), I arrived towards the end of Ceremony's set, missing Coliseum, Rise & Fall, and Pulling Teeth, unfortunately.
Genghis Tron and coordinated lighting rig played their first show of 2009 directly following Ceremony. They opened with the epic title track to their critically acclaimed LP, Board Up The House. Drum-machine centric bands such as The Austerity Program, Godflesh, and GT have a large hurdle to get over in heavy music; the fact that there isn't a human being smashing the kit behind them in a genre that depends on brutality is definitely a negative in the live setting. That said, Genghis Tron make the best of it, and Mookie is a passionate and energetic frontman. Justina managed to catch my favorite moment of their set on video (below)... a cover of "Bad Penny" by Big Black!
Converge hit the stage right around 12:30 AM, running through material spanning the length of their career including "Locust Reign" from their 1999 split with Agoraphobic Nosebleed, "Heartache", "Hellbound", "Eagles Become Vultures" (video below), "Last Light" and many others.
At one point during the show, a crazed "fan" slapped a bear hug on Jacon Bannon wrestling him from the stage and onto the crowd floor.
When Jacob finally got back on stage he remarked, "I don't even know what happened here. I'm like nervous to keep playing... should we keep playing?"
They did (no encores), finishing the evening with "Concubine" from Jane Doe and a special treat for the metalheads mixed in with the hardcore kids... a cover of "Wolverine Blues" by the mighty Entombed sung by John Petitbone (Himsa, Botch, Undertow). It was their "second time" performing the song. Jacob Bannon took a breather during that one.
I've seen Converge a lot, so I was hoping to hear a lot of new songs, ones I haven't seen them perform in a while, or anything else out of the ordinary. Unfortunately the new material was in limited supply, but the two new ones they did play bore the Converge seal of oddball drum fills, Swedish Death Metal guitar tone, and clear roots in hardcore. The Entombed cover in particular was a highlight for me... well, that and the whole not dying thing.
Converge are scheduled to hit the studio in May to record their new album, according to our recent interview with Jacon Bannon.
Genghis Tron will play Public Assembly on April 12th with Tombs, Black Anvil, and Wetnurse as part of the Show No Mercy series.

Speaking of Jacob Bannon and Supermachiner, we interviewed the Deathwish kingpin before we went down to Atlanta for the Scion Rock Fest.
Converge, Rise & Fall, Coliseum, Pulling Teeth (and the non-Deathwish Genghis Tron) are playing Europa in Brooklyn on March 27th... that show is now sold out.
If you don't have a ticket, but wanted to see Coliseum, don't worry you just got another chance... The band has been added to the previously announced Napalm Death / Kataklysm / Toxic Holocaust / Trap Them mindmelt! Tickets for the NYC show at the Gramercy Theatre are still on sale.
And, just prior to the Napalm Death tour, Trap Them added a few new dates including a show in New Brunswick, NJ on April 8th.

Scion Rock Fest in Atlanta is just a few days away (Feb 28th) and until the opening tones of Kylesa's guitars, we'll present a series of discussions with some of the key artists taking one of the four stages at the Masquerade. Monday we spoke to Scott Hull of Pig Destroyer and Agoraphobic Nosebleed and yesterday it was CT of Rwake. Today, we speak to none other than Jacob Bannon of Converge.
Jacob Bannon has a tattoo of a heart that covers his throat. Heart in your throat... I'd say that it's appropriate. As vocalist and lyricist for Converge, Bannon is one of a handful of the hardcore elite that crafts poignant, thought provoking lyrics that can comfortably sit side by side with the challenging hardcore mindbenders that the rest of his band spews forth. Converge has delivered blistering hardcore for more than seventeen years, and along the way Bannon has been involved in multiple side projects (Irons, Supermachiner, etc) and solo efforts, all while also steering the hardcore superlabel Deathwish Records.
Converge is set to close out Scion Rock Fest at The Masquerade in Atlanta, just a few short weeks before the band goes on a short tour that will include Europa on March 27th (tix here, full tour sched below). We sat down to talk to Bannon about the new Converge LP, Deathwish, his collaboration with Dwid of Integrity, and his forthcoming solo record.
You and the guys are working on the new Converge... Does it have a title? Any song titles yet? A theme?
The record does have a title as well as song titles, however we are not ready to release them just yet.

Pulling Teeth, Lewd Acts, & Skin Like Iron will accompany the band on the Westside, while the east gets Soul Control & I Rise.
108 is working on material for a new EP, their first release since their 2007 "reunion" album A New Beat From A Dead Heart on Deathwish. The band recently added former Quicksand/Burn/Seaweed drummer Alan Cage to their ranks, and now 108 in 2009 looks like this:

Good news /
bad news / good news. Let's start with the bad news.
All signs point to Genghis Tron off of the previously announced Deathwish super bill of Converge, Pulling Teeth, Rise & Fall, and Ceremony (now ex-Deathwish) at Europa in Brooklyn on March 27.
UPDATE: Genghis Tron said they will know for sure soon whether they will be playing this show or not. Stay tuned...
UPDATE 2: Genghis Tron are in fact also playing this show.
Tickets are still available.
Now some good news... Coliseum has been added to the Europa bill!
Even more good news: It's part of a seven date mini-tour leading up to the recording of their new long-player in May. Look for the follow-up LP to No Heroes to land on Deathwish/Epitaph later this year. Converge is also playing the embarassingly awesome Scion Rock Fest in Atlanta, GA.
In related news, the Supermachiner side project is back in print. Here's a little history on Supermachiner:
Supermachiner originally began as a collection of four track recordings by J. Bannon (Converge) in 1994. The music was much different than his known vocal work in Converge, having more in common with influences Swans, Bauhaus, and others... Along with the help of good friend Ryan Parker (Daltonic, Black Spot, The Jaded Salingers), the project was brought back to life in the winter of 1998...All Converge dates and a Coliseum video below...
The two entered the studio with Kurt Ballou (Converge) in the winter of 1999. During these sessions, Ballou also contributed a great deal to the material. The finished album titled "Rise Of The Great Machine" was released by the defunct Undecided label in 2000 (now out of print). After the album release, future projects were planned but never materialized...
"Rust" features the sought after "Rise of the Great Machine" tracks, as well as four track ghosts of forgotten songs, and other unique audio experiments. All of it showcasing the artistic spirit that made Supermachiner such a unique animal for the time. All the while foreshadowing the future marriage between the "post hardcore" and "shoe-gaze" genres that dominate today's avant garde/experimental music world.

Happy New Year and Welcome Back to The Week In Metal! We took some time away, but believe me, the hate only grew STRONGER.

Obscura, an astonishing tech-death band from Deutchland that may or may not be named after the classic Gorguts LP, are streaming a trio of new tracks from massive and recommended upcoming LP Cosmogenesis.

YOB have announced that they will hit the studio in late March with Sanford Parker to record their new album of "5 songs hitting about the 60+ minute mark".

Shrinebuilder is in progress! The band blogged through the weekend as they completed recording of their debut album for Neurot.
The previously announced Down/Weedeater/Evil Army tour has been postponed.

Hey wait! I know that hairless chest (photo by James Petrozzello)
A band of unknowns announced their new self-titled LP to be released on Eyeball Records on September 9th, as well as another EP and a seven inch. Ok, they aren't exactly unknowns... it's just that the true line-up of United Nations ISN'T known. Lets start with the facts.... Yesterday, Geoff Rickly of Thursday sat down with Alternative Press to discuss his new side project, United Nations, a "secret supergroup of mid=90's screamo revivalists", here's a snippet:
So who are the members involved with this project, and what do they do in the band? Besides you and vocals, obviouslyRead the whole thing here.
Well, I actually mostly played guitar and did some of the singing. The rest of the band are in contracts, so they're anonymous.
How did this idea first come up?
I was... This is really weird... I've known a kid named Daryl who plays in Glassjaw for a long time, and we used to go to shows, all the same hardcore shows, and we would get excited about a lot of the same bands. We both really loved what was going on on the West Coast in the early '90s, like Gravity Records stuff, really spazzy stuff. We also really loved the Ebullition style, mid-'90s, what they call the emo power-violence stuff.
So we have some kind-of-but-not-really confirmation that Daryl Palumbo is on board. That in and of itself is not a mindscrambler, but add in the fact that Converge has confirmed that drummer Ben Koller (also of Acid Tiger and ex-Cave In fame) is on board, as well as that message boards / the world's most accurate online encyclopedia are claiming Cooper of Made Out of Babies has joined on, UN takes on a whole new realm of possibilities.
United Nations is streaming their entire self-titled album at their myspace and you can download "The Spinning Heart of The Yo-Yo Lobby" from that record above.
In related Thursday news, Japanese badasses Envy will share a split with the band for Temporary Residence Limited, due on vinyl (with accompanying CD) September 15th. Spanning seven tracks, the record will have four new joints from Thursday and three new ones from Envy. The split was recorded this spring and Thursday enlisted Anthony Molina of Mercury Rev to remix one track, "Appeared And Was Gone", the lead in to Envy's first song. Pick it up at TRL when it drops....

Folkin' black proggers Agalloch has announced that they are at work on their fourth LP, the follow-up the the critically acclaimed Ashes Against The Grain! The band recently parted ways with The End and "have received several offers ranging from the ridiculous to the very interesting" with respect to a new home, but no decision is expected until 2009. Meanwhile, Agalloch also announced the release of The Demonstration Archive, a retrospective of songs from 1996 - 1998 before they signed to the label. For more info on The Demonstration Archive, including how to pick it up, head here.
As we announced a couple weeks ago, doomy instrumental trio Capricorns have released River Bear Your Bones in jolly old England, but the US will see the record on September 30th. Have no fear, as we have posted 25% of the whole record (above) for you to download!
Intronaut's new record, Prehistoricisms, is up for preorder, with or without a limited edition tee ($4 more). Check out "The Literal Black Cloud" from Prehistoricisms here.
Black Anvil
World, Black Anvil. Black Anvil, world. I wish it was that easy, because word needs to get out on these grim lords constructed from ex-members of Kill Your Idols. Drawing from early black metal and thrash and with only an occasional foray into Emperor-style tremolo picking, their new LP Time Insults The Mind is an unholy creature of shadow. Check out "Ten Talons Deep" available for download above and the video of the band tearing through "Deathsomnia" (also from Time...). and pick up the record at Momentum Records when it drops. The band is also playing Traxx in Ronkonkoma on August 23rd and The Charleston on Sept 30th.

Indentured Servants
Workers contracted for a period of time in exchange for transportation, food, clothing, lodging, and other necessities. Shopkeepers would often pay a young mans trip to the Americas if they worked for them.

Population growth was mostly due to immigration with a small percentage of Africans.
Midwives/ Medicine in the colonies
Midwives were very traditional mothers or wives who would often take care of the sick, treating them with home "cures". Doctors did not favor midwives due to their incompetence in the field. Medicine in the colonies was merely home remedies with no proof of being able to cure the said disease.
In medicine, humor refers to a fluid (or semifluid) substance. Part of a theory that there was an internal balance of each fluid in the body (phlem, blood, gall, choler) and that any that was overproduced needed to be drained. They would often make incisions and drain the substance, or even make holes in the skull.

Peter Hasenclever
German ironmaster who established the biggest industrial enterprise in English north America. In New Jersey.
Iron Act of 1750
restricted metal processing in the colonies. Part of reason why Great Britain did not experience such an explosive industrial growth.
Lack of Technology
Most Americans remained too poor or isolated to afford newer technology. Work was twice as labor intensive and normal life was harder to live.
Costal Trade
trade and business between colonies and the west indies. Goods such as rum, agricultural products, meat, and fish.
Transatlantic Trade
a trade that linked the North American colonies in an intricate network of commerce with England, continental Europe, and the African West coast.

adventurous entrepreneurs who decided to take advantage of the growing trade in the colonies.
the ability to display and purchase consumer goods. Growth was a product of early stages of the industrial revolution.
Social Changes
people began to make luxuries into necessities, this in turn changed the society to become more sophisticated and to become the refined "gentleman" or "gracious lady". Strove to develop into witty an educated conversationalists. Town squares, parks, boulevards, became places of social interest and interaction.
Social Mobility
the ability to move up or down the social ladder, America (at that time) allowed for social mobility due to the large expanses of land and the very few people.
definied a distinctive way of life got many white and black southerners that would survive in varying forms. Large tobacco plantation emerged in settlements such as Virgina and Maryland.

Puritan Community
orderly towns with central and common church with surrounding farms each town made covenant.
Puritan Democracy
had a meeting once a year elected "select men till nest year, "saints" had most influence.
Strains on Puritan Society
As population grew, towns stretched further and caused settlers to move away from the centralized towns making new towns was confrontational.
