The days seem to go by so fast. there is a void in the air, the birds have lost their vibrant beat, the ocean has lost its luster, the soil feels solid and dry. My soul feels as if it has left my body before my death, my dreams haunt my day, the tears stain my steps, my doctor says that it is depression, I say that it is reality, I am intoxicated by society,I am numb by perscriptions. Why do I feel so isolated within myself? is there no one in my painfully tight shoes? can anyone understand my pain? can anyone melt in my sorrows? why am I this way? why is the world so cruel? why can't I be normal? Wait! I am normal, what am I saying, I know now, the veil has been lifted, humanity is my enemy, the sins that drip from their sweat, the dread that follows their shadows, their souls of black, their intentions of greed pull a shade across their eyes. They are destined for doom, they will not be saved, they will not find salvation, they belittle me, they curse me, they shame me, but they are right about one thing, I am different, unlike them, I will be saved in the last days.
The sweetest sounds of burning trees A gentle stroking in the breeze The calm has lasted past the storm Cloudy visions, Satan's roar Too many sights have passed my way A time found only in the haze The softest screams are running bare My aching bones creak as I stare You walk a distance towards me The fall's eternal, can't you see? I'm a memory in your heart I whisper to you in the dark The battle's started at the end No one is coming to repent The sinners grab their wine from prey No judgment calling here to stay The sport is reckless to be told The one is laughing at his souls It falters nowhere to be sure The power grows forevermore Like a spirit in the wind I have no say in where you've been But cross the line to come to me And pay the price for ecstasy You walk a distance towards me The fall's eternal, can't you see? I'm a memory in your heart I whisper to you in the dark.
Money money, ringing in your tills, Calling us to worship, The hundred dollar bills. Bend our knees in wonder, Bow our heads in awe, At the power of the liar, Who now controls us all. From the darkest deep caverns, To the stars in the sky, From the infinite universe, To the strangers passing by. From your inner most conviction, To your laughing in the night, From everything you 're seeing, To everything out of sight. The new God has risen, To claim the holy throne, The one that we have emptied, Our hearts all cold as stone. The throne that we have emptied, We killed the rightful king, Sold his crown an sceptre, Pawned his sacred ring. Raised his bleeding body, Up on that bloody hill, The silent lamb still bleeding, As the money fills your tills.
I am Reality's angel resting on the broad shoulders of discovery the truth feeds darkness and engulfs its target ideas and concepts in turn become meaningless to you there is a creator of all things He is just and patient many still have fallen into the masses of shadow wrapped in their own filthy idols of philosophy I have seen grown men fall like rose petals and weaklings rise into unjust leaders forever the follower of furtive evil dominating only to remain inferior the most important answers lie in the unseen regions where no sense can fully give assurance the mind that so many unreasonably twist and turn grows weary because of the distance it must take and truth be told the distance is not what frustrates it is knowing we are seeking something far that could very possibly not exist, that our minds can twist into theoretical, idealistic nonsense it is knowing all we really think we know is meaningless and yes—even a lie all that has been written thus far rests under my wings under the warmth in which you refuse to feel can you believe in me— though I am completely unseen? how much more difficult would it be to see Him?
White Lilies, Scattered on the ground, Out of their element. Witness, Purity, Deprived of its origin. Behold, Clarity no longer visible. White Roses, In the purest snow, Frozen to the core. Witness, Loveliness, Stripped away so rash. Behold, Beauty destroyed. White flowers, All around, Trampled into dust. Witness, Wildness, Stolen without knowledge. Behold, Endless death fighting to prevail.
My life has been one enormous charade, A make believe game, A play I have played, A story I tell myself, day and night, Hidden from myself, out of sight, A game of hide and seek, While searching for something else to eat. The game, A cosmic game, A comic game, A bad joke, A puff of smoke, A laugh, A bath, A lonely path, The Game. I used to take it so seriously, Think it, feel it so real, so perfectly, So certain I that was right, That I lived in the light, So convinced that I knew the rules, So obvious I had all the tools, That I saw the truth, That I saw the light, Would win the battle, win the fight. Heard the sound of the distant drum, Calling me to battle with the devious one. The walls of my ego were high and mighty, My dreams and delusions danced in front of me, Their smooth dark surface impossible to climb, Images I swallowed and thought were mine. I made them alive, moving and real, Twist and turn like a slimy eel, Just to tell myself that I was still someone, Playing in the game and having lots of fun, Just to tell me and to tell you, That I wasn't a loser, So I wouldn't hear the words game over. Game over, Check and mate, Here's the gate, You have to take, Out of the Game, The game of shame. The game of avoiding being blue, Of dogging the bullets they shot at you, The atomic bomb they drop on your head, The monsters that they put under your bed. The game of hiding away, Live to play another day, Even if it's only make believe, The prizes in plastic, And not worth a dime, At least I have the impression that they are mine, At least I don't fell the pain, The pain of shame, In this perverted game. So that I don't feel I'm a prisoner, Tied to this post, Don't even realise that I'm only a ghost, That the truth is well hidden, On the board of the game. That the prizes are in plastic, But they are shiny and new, The paint hardly chipped, The emptiness hardly shows through, The laughing is loud, The smiles are all warm and friendly, And we are all together, Joyful and happy. The illusion is REAL, And only the mad man knows, That it's a rotten deal. more of my poems at http://labyrinthoflies.com
The eye,a sign the unwise can't comprehend Forged from the world's origin,an illumination in darkened minds,for the enlightened ones like Leonardo da Vinci,Isaac Newton,John Milton....etc. The eye is a tree with many branches like Priory of Scion,Knight templars,I.O.G.T,United Nations,Masonic Lodge,Music industry, Politics,global economy, etc stretching beyond human imaginations-felt in all corners of earth. The world is clothed through wisdom from above. The eye,all seeing sign,an invincible emblem of power and riches to the lion hearted and loyal souls. A seat of influence and fame. Creating the social order through men of power.... Some see it as a curse,others a blessing. I feel it,the great eye is everywhere watching you!
In life, some would say I lacked no good thing, I was loved and healthy, Young and nice-looking. Yet my soul was parched, It was cracked, dry dirt, A candle with no spark, An eclipse of the earth. Then a voice caused me to kneel, An unseen tongue let loose, "God is real and the Bible is truth." Lots has happened since God took me by the hand But I still remember when My faith in God began. (A non-fiction poem written for Gail Angel Doyle's "Finding God" contest.)
The Rose innocent white, soft pink, yellows colors touch your soul vibrant red to amethyst enhances beauty yet a thorn awaits to break skin as life does piercing your heart with a thin pin. My life has shed drops of blood through each petal as if in return for the love and beauty you feel hence pain underneath patiently waits the bloodletting ~ The rose symbolizes love yet vulnerable to hold for when you open your heart it can be left bleeding The best of surgeons can not beat your heart It is the inner faith and God himself whom gives strength whispers in your ear you shall live you will exist your life meaningful as the water and sun to the rose For I am your God your existence is not over yet . You must Live ~You must Bloom
God made all people But some better than others? Stop being silly.
The body: sacred We're all made in God's image Hence... circumcision?
When the time comes we shall all gather, People of all walks and talks together, In front of the parish for the Holy Communion, It is here that we meet our companion, In holy matrimony we unite before the father, But this is no ordinary parish, We separate men from boys before they perish, We relish in wines and spirit, Just like church goers after the Holy Spirit, In beer we trust because its fetish, The parish, I drink until i perish, In beer my life i cherish, I wish to make a wish, Parish, perish, cherish, i wish, Just like the church seeing holiness in the pope, In the bar tender we see drinking hope, We speak in tongues under the influence, And we never shy away from an audience, So don't demonize us, we don't do dope, Just like Jesus who walked on water, We keep on walking like Johnny Walker, On your wall the Holy Virgin Mary, On mine you'll find the famous Hale Berry, Unlike them were living our happily ever after, The parish, I drink until i perish, In beer my life i cherish, I wish to make a wish, Parish, perish, cherish, i wish, We've never missed a bar gathering, On several occasions you've missed a church meeting, We pay all our dues to the bar tender, You hardly give two percent tithe to the preacher, So when we meet in hell spare me the greeting,
A Lesson From the Buddha The Buddha had been getting round And listening to the crowd. He'd often sat there silently And heard them moan so loud About their own sad burdens And all the hurt they'd had. So he thought up a little plan That didn't seem half bad. He called the crowd together Said "listen here you guys I've been thinking for a great long while And I have thought it wise To grow a special tree for you And here it lies before you Now listen well to what I say I'll tell you what to do" He said "this tree before you It's to hang your troubles on Each one of you must go to it And your troubles will be gone As you hang them on it's many branches Then what you'll need to do Is take yourself some others burdens And make them part of you" The people thought that this was cool It seemed a grand old way To rid themselves of all their burdens It was a happy day! As each smiling so broadly Placed there burdens on the tree Then they thought for just a while And they began to see. As each the truth did hit them More restless did they get At least they knew their burdens So each with no regrets Did race back to that trouble tree To grab what they had hung there The Buddha smiled good humoredly He had made them all aware. 29 July 2013 @ 1805hrs.
You are just old man spinning wheels trying to live for a million years. You are just an apple tree chopped down trying to re-root from the ground. Your hatefulness means naught because your life is facing the judgment of God. You are just an old elderly man gambling his months when he has been told to rest his heart. You been misguided by your ministry and damned by the demons of the innocent. The Arabs Kings cannot save your soul from your hellhole chosen by Jehovah. So pay for your gravesite and bid the world goodbye. This is the advice given to a life prophesized. The Monks gave the gift to you. You refuse to follow the truth. You were brought into a new world. Blessed by the chosen one, eccentric he became. Pakistan is your brother country. You are of foreign blood. Why have you thrown a stone at the righteous? Your hatefulness means not anything. You will be confronted by the acumen of the Lord Jehovah God. Adieu… ________________________________________________________| PENNED ON AUGUST 29, 2014!
The silent bell rings in the night, Calling the devils to kneel to the light, What once was, becomes no more, As the light breaks through the open door. What you think and what you feel, What you saw and thought was real, Is now only dust on the road, The desolate remains of your ancient abode. The new light is rising on the hill, The new song is singing down in the well, The new souls are dreaming of your face, The new hearts are beating at you pace. The old ideas and reasons you gave, Are buried in the tomb and in the grave, The rotting bone and flesh are gone, In the morning dew, in the morning sun. The light shines through the open door, Casts no shadow on the old dirty floor, The ancient laws of reason and might, Crumble to dust in the morning light. What once was real and certain as rock, Is now the dream the baby forgot, The new light coming to wake you my love, The silent lamb and the flying dove. more of my poems at : http://labyrinthoflies.com
Collegiates and learned mercenaries Await their time to lead the willing minions As lemmings, suicide seems ordinary Both deaf and blind, devoid of all opinions Ageless as time itself, she waits An elixir of evolution Needing no cure, no answers No humankind solution What stops us moving forward What keeps us all enchained What keeps the starving hungry What drives a world insane A galaxy here, a universe there Speckled by constellations But man it seems is content to fight For the sake of his small nation Black as an empty starless night Deep as the hungry ocean Timeless as death, on its endless flight In a time of perpetual motion What stops us moving forward What keeps us all enchained What keeps the starving hungry What drives a world insane When will it end, God only knows As greed alone inspires us Old Earth, its very soul exposed To MAN...IT'S LIVING VIRUS!!!
Like the seraphs whose wings unfold, Christ's light and glory goes not untold; as the love of his humble grace moves inside me all time and space, as the planets orbit heaven's sun and encircle it one by one-- so, too, am I caught in his sway, beloved of him from day to day. Through hosts of astral dimension God's angels fix their attention with expectancy and burning pause amidst the universe's First Cause. He, the one true Incarnation that begets cosmic causation, resolves the Infinite Regress from the pre-Socratics' egress with his omniscient wisdom and the archives of his kingdom where all can come and read and know what miracles he'll yet bestow.
The Tragedy of the Banished Revolutionaries. Epochs apart, yet, bound by conscience, Buddha, Jesus, Moses, Muhammad, Ram. Enduring the whispers of time, through creeds professed, sermons preached, and a million sins confessed. Though, the essence, of these banished revolutionaries, is ceremonially muted by ritual, and gleefully crushed under, grandiose edifices, that serve Religion Inc. "And the meek shall inherit the earth", an incendiary thought, conveniently discarded, for the pie in the sky that must be sought. The tragedy of the banished revolutionaries, stings. stabs, whispers still, for us to hear, through the din of the cacophony of prayer. Buddha, Jesus, Moses, Muhammad, Ram. The tragedy of the banished revolutionaries, persists, each day that we choose, to shun the meek, and mouth conscience-salving prayers, for yet more silver, and yet more silk.
Sometimes there is silence, Sometimes there are words, Sometimes there is meaning, Sometimes it's absurd. Sometimes you are near me, Sometimes you are far, Sometimes there is darkness, Sometimes guided by a star. Sometimes we are up and Sometimes we are down, Sometimes we are slaves, That wear a holy crown. Sometimes we are arrogant, Sometimes we are proud, Sometimes we are someone, Lost in the faceless crowd. Sometimes we are rich and Sometimes we are poor, Sometimes we are angels, Scratching at the door. Sometimes I'm living and Sometimes I am dead, Sometimes there is no thoughts Turning in my head. Sometimes looking forwards, Sometimes looking back, The circle still unbroken, The train still on the track. Sometimes we are caught and Sometimes we are free, But we always come back praying, Under this olive tree. more at http://labyrinthoflies.com
O God, the pangs are crushing body, soul And spirit—working deaths where sunlight fades— My arms are trunks of pain and taking toll, While tortures, stings, and sickness hauntly raids To close the Gates of Hell to shut me in, And heaven bows to greet while Hades seeks To send The Reaper with his failing grin. And illness ruins lives while havoc wreaks The squalored throes of daily living on— While body wastes away and breath remains To sing your dirge while I still carry on… Like trampling cattle trodding broken frame, I live between the sunshine and the grave— Like flowers cut and dying in the vase
The Book of Revelations showed the slaughtering of souls and The Lord's Army was the carrier of the deed. The blood of humanity would be the precede. The blood of humanity rolled to the pearly gates. The ending of time had come to pass as stated. The spirits of humankind is in the blood. Judgment day had come. Jehovah and his son Jesus Christ Lord appeared and humanity was gendered again. Many did not see this prophesy in THE WORD and therefore, it was not foretold that humanity would lose their souls. St. John the Divine was found to be in a psychosis by a socio-political and socio-religious person and she was the only one knew but she was not a leader anyone would listen to. Then the horrid came and humankind was silence by the armor of THE ALMIGHTY GOD and life was taken from us. The stillness shook and the people of the world rose and the Lord passed down judgment and the Gates of Heaven squealed to prepare for the souls that were lost to humanity but none entered because all was with sin. The Second Earth formed and the Lord knew that these people would be immortals and live long lives. However, eternity is in Heaven and Hell is where life truly transpires. ___________________________________________________________| ~Published July 16, 2012 (in) Thirty-One Days by (Nom De Plume) Poetic Oblivion Stareyes - Dark Sun~
The signs are here, for all to see, The thunder clouds, the dying tree. The shining lights, that draw you near, Loud heavy music, in your ear. By word of mouth, or through cyber space, The hidden pictures, of your face, The northern lights, are dancing south, The rumours you hear, by word of mouth. The sign are falling, from the sky, Raining stars, on the passers by, While the battle rages, on underground, The innocent dying, without a sound. The cries of heaven, the screams in hell, That no one hears, down in this well, The terrible beauty, the open wound, The innocent babies, in open tombs. For all to see, for all to hear, The blind man's painting, the deaf man's ear. The birds are falling, the fishes drowned, What once was up, has now become down, The tender and loving, an empty shell, The gross and the ugly, now the rallying bell. The signs are here, for all to see, Titanic sinking, on a blood red sea. More poems at http://labyrinthoflies.com
Sweet short round sadness in the mirror may grow; He writes her name twice on the mind`s first snow; It is the moment to find a joke and make her laugh; If he holds his dreams and her hands ,that`s enough; A smile of the kidness with each cup of tea, and soon As brought by Fancy`s Fairy in the blond afternoon, The taste of honey mealt in bitterness of broken glass; The subtle drums in his ears violently might surpass The horses`galoop at the purple banks of his veins ; From the green empire, where eternal spring reigns The romp`s steps of imagery in the Plato`s realm Composing an ode of joy or a long lasting psalm: Child dancing, playing with the joyous rain, Like Narcissus at the sides of the fountain. That parfume of violets :her hair and her eyes Tactile, fragile china, cold glass solitude lies In their unwritten novel: everybody may choose The thrill of dancing among the Greek statues; The rustling of the two doves following Love`s call In the hand of Light,with overflown tumult in one soul. The step towards his heart and quickly her stop; Without the slightest hesitation, all muscles hope Ready to caught a falling star still hoping The crystalline tear prolonged dropping Transformed in advancing recollections through: Two masters of slaves and two slaves ,thus sum two.
MLK... (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) they shot you down all those years ago but your dream lives on and always will for though much has been gained since you dreamed your dream there is much to fight for and much more to struggle for and much, much more to fight for still so your dream resounds in our hearts and we pledge this to you today for though they shot you down all those years ago on a memphis day we shall overcome this we do believe deep in our hearts that we shall overcome someday... (for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.)
July 31, 2013 Kingdom Builders Holy Holy Holy I must say to all. Long day hard day I am with you. Hot day cold day it is for me too. Days months or years you I call. You have displayed my visual doll. Multitudes of truth seeds you grew. Spoken for as spoken words abrew. I grant you the light in that dark hall. Never say never! Never look back! I am yours forever! I am with no lack. I am always the hands of filters, Observing my Kingdom Builders. (C) Copyright 2013 Ann Rich
Blasphemy The caustic tongues of the evangelists, Across all creeds and faiths, Seem as brittle as an old bone. For they promise heaven and they spew forth threats of hell While neglecting the words of that man who walked in Galilee 'let him who is without sin, cast the first stone' the caustic tongues of the evangelists... across all religions new-age and the ones of old baffle me even as I hear a single simplistic sermon for they really do, view us all as blind imbeciles scurrying around like faithless vermin the caustic tongues of the evangelists... wag on and dazzle us with visions of an eternal paradise while here and now their hypocrisy festers within their earnest well-meaning eyes... '...dil mein hai khwaaish-e-hoor-o-jannat aur zaahir mein shauk-e-ibaadat bas hamen sheikh-ji aap jaise allah-waalon se allah bachaaye...' '...in your heart you desire the maidens of heaven yet in the now you practice the rituals of piety o' sheikh, may allah protect me from the people of allah like yourself...' is my tongue as caustic as the tongues I write about? if so, then glad am I for they shouldn't be the only ones who preach and rant and continually shout from their pulpits ever so high in the sky from their hubris of comfort in possessing the 'truth' from their 'knowing' that heaven or hell awaits both the strong as well as the meek while oblivious to the reeking foul smell that encourages prejudice and hate and visions not of peace but of endless chants and prayers which they, in their opium haze rattle on and on as they never seem to cease to speak and though I'm sure that all this bile that I have spewed will threaten hurt and offend friend and unfriend and acquaintance alike but... take pity on me instead for it'll surely be I who'll burn eternally impaled by a benevolent god on a slightly warmer than normal day in hell on a crude wooden spike.
I feel Him chip away at my flesh. The vibrations shake to my bones. Pieces that were once part of me now fall helplessly to the floor. Every scrape of the chisel, Every pound of the hammer, Every piece that is broken from me stings with immense pain. Why doesn't He stop? Why is The Sculptor so cruel? Doesn't He realize that each swing He takes is a nightmare to me? I would be better off as stone that was never touched, I would be more content without the suffering that comes apon me, But I wouldn't be a work of art. Each chip of the chisel is intended to remove a piece that shouldn't be there. Each pound of the hammer is meant to force the hideous fragments far from me. Each move The Sculptor makes, takes me closer to His plan for me. I must trust, knowing that He never takes off too much. I must be ready, knowing that He never leaves His work incomplete. I must be thankful, knowing that I am being made beautiful in His eyes. The acute pain is only a short part of His plan. The lasting anguish fades in its own time. Though heart, and soul, and body all grieve, the permanent state will be that of finished work. I may not know the reason for each strike, I may not know the fault with each sundered chunk, And I may never know. I know the sting of the chisel now, I know The Sculptor has a plan, My part is to trust that He will not work forever ... but that He will be done.
Written 2010 Flashing lights and sounds roll by Hear the sound of muffled sighs Sullen words cannot express Just confess, and lift it off your chest Told the priest would hear your cries If you don't feed him blatent lies Oh he's your only friend But he don't want to hear your sins He's off doing his own thing But it's far from priestly things Oh he wont look in your direction Let alone show you affection Even when he hears your plea, "Hey bartender please!" Gone are all your hopes and dreams All you ever sought to be Heard from all across the room Are many empty pleas, "Oh won't you pity me?" You can close your eyes and count to 10 Again and again But he wont come back to help his fellow men He was your only friend, but he left you all alone To wallow in your sin He failed to listen to your prayer Now your lost in dark dispair You can hide behind your cries But he'll see into your eyes Until the time you leave his bar And wobble to your car
MENSEKIND UNSUPPORTED CODE Ek is n mensekind Nie net sommer van die wind Ek het gevoelens en baie goeie bedoelings. Ek voel dikwels nie in beheer en mense maak my kort – kort seer Ek is soos 'n teater: Mense kom net vir vertonings en dan sien jy hulle heelwat later My hart is 'n uitgedroogde sandkorrel wat enige tyd kan breek en verkrummel Ek is soms baie lui Want ek vra net en kry My woede is soos die Victoria watervalle Dit bedaar amper nooit en tref my naaste soos geweerknalle Dag tot dag lewe ek soms voel ek soos 'n kraan wat lek en lek My hart en siel behoort aan God Somtyds wonder ek of God my en ander raaksien?

Nothing but a waste you're just a reckless disgrace too much power for a deceiver It's not right I see light It's not near enough for me to go It's my choice so don't you treat me like a play toy I'm not yours to control Cause I will storm in after you If you take her far away from me And I will storm in after you If you take her to the grave with thee You take our race for granted and you're highly overrated you're always taking my friends It's not right I see light It's not near enough for me to go It's our choice so don't you treat us like we're play toys we're not yours to control I will storm in after you If you take them far away from me And I will storm in after you If you try and take them to the grave
It's good to get together as friends and confreres like in table fellowship or religious convocation and then, enjoy the company of each other's culture as Italians, Colombians, Filipinos or Brazilians. The day after Easter Sunday adds another occasion for us Scalabrinians to be reunited at this point in time sharing the gifts of food, life, humor and relationship with a space for fraternity, some updates and good wishes. Truly, it shows the spirit of oneness and fraternal fellowship sharing the commonality of our commitmment to faith as brothers in Christ and members of our Founder's order, the religious congregation that cares for migrant people. There's much to do and plan for what we aim to materialize in today's world where migration poses a huge issue like a salad bowl with mozzarella, tomato and olive oil a metaphor for migration that deals with human cultures. Described in the Bible as a growing missionary virtue hospitality as a key to open one's heart in this journey With fearlessness and confidence, it's a major issue depicting the picture of global movements raised in action. Our days of darkness, our bickering confreres in places – where community life matters and features one's emptiness in dealing with one another in our quest for human and divine. it's indeed a challenge and will always be a test of faith, thus far. This helps us understand through our setbacks, pains and joys, with friends around and those who share with us many times those sacred stories of being called to worship God and be present especially in the Eucharist that nourishes our souls to be whole.
when we're tired and weary, lean on Him. so much that we have to do, our journey must still go on. lifting up each other, trying to help as much as the other. humility as a character: begins to make us better, helping us to be stronger, toward a living testimony of support, leaning with a purpose, shared in our goals, made truer in His plans. throughout He has loved us and cared; even, though there's miles to go, we have each other's shoulders to rest on.

A Metaphor of Life By Elton Camp (firstname.lastname@example.com) "For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away." - New King James Version Human life is rightly compared to a mist It's for only a brief time that we exist Droplets of moisture the fog create An insubstantial and unsteady state It's dispersal many factors can bring about Few will notice or care, there's little doubt From where the vapor came we don't know And as to where it went, the very same is so So it has been on earth since Abel died Both righteous and wicked are cast aside From dust they came and to dust return Everlasting life not one of them can earn But of resurrection, a great deal is said The just and unjust will arise from the dead The Christ an ignominious fate did face The ransom price paid for the human race

The market of custom controllers is niche, to say the least. It's often a mixed bag of gimmicks and cheap tricks to try and make controllers stick out from the close-to-perfect vanilla flavours that come with the console in question. Needless to say, they're expensive toys, and often not much else. But sometimes professional gamers demand a certain amount of control over their games of choice, and that's where names like Scuf have really marked out their territory.
LittleBigPlanet is one of the PlayStation brand's darlings. Created by Media Molecule early in the PlayStation 3's life, it brought about a particular ethos: Play. Create. Share – well before Minecraft even existed. Since then, users have created over 8 million levels using the game's built-in tools. That's quite a legacy for new series developer Sumo Digital to live up to with its first stab at the series.
The last generation console's Assassin's Creed game hasn't been getting as much attention as the shiny new one. This a crying shame. With Assassin's Creed Rogue, Ubisoft has reached the pinnacle of the Assassin's Creed experience, and even made me feel better about previous iterations.
Party games are necessary for any gamer, or human being. When friends come around, it can be such a blast to play board games or drinking games, but party video games are equally awesome. Singstar Ultimate Party has come to PS4 and allows everyone to join in the fun, even without a mic. But is it the best singing party game that you can get?
It feels as though all I've done since getting Shadow of Mordor is rave to people about how much fun I'm having. It's been a long time since a game has elicited such a strong and uncontrollably gleeful response in me. There is a lot to love about Shadow of Mordor, and also a few frustrations.
I fondly remember playing co-op action shooters with my brother as a kid. Of course he'd always blame me when he died, but that's besides the point - Crimsonland reminds me of all those old-school arcade shooters and it's filled with plenty of remastered gore.
I am terrible at Mario Kart. Though I've played them all, starting with the series introduction on the SNES, I never really seem to get any better at it. I've tried, mind you. I play the game regularly with my family, and regularly I get beaten by my boastful children. In all these years, my skills have essentially remained static, barely changing at all. The same could be reasonably argued for Mario Kart itself.
Having played FFXIV: A Realm Reborn in Beta on the PS3, I wasn't really too sure what to expect on the new generation console. Would it be the same thing, just made a bit more pretty? Or would it make a decent game into a fantastic experience? Square Enix has made an excellent contribution to the MMORPG genre, perhaps the best MMO that I've played to date. Most of their awful UI and account management issues seem to be resolved on the new console, which means I could focus on playing the game instead of the chore of its admin.
I'm a huge Japanese role-playing nut. My phone is filled with JRPG battle themes and there was a point in my life when all I could play were JRPGS. I just generally love Japanese culture. Every single platform I own I have a JRPG in my collection of games. From Chaos Rings on my mobile phone to Valkyria Chronicles on PlayStation 3, I just can't get enough of them. But there are some games that have eluded me over the years. I never really had a GameCube growing up so I missed out on a few awesome games. One of them was Tales of Symphonia.
The LEGO Movie was certainly a surprise. What could have easily been a silly, mindless kids' movie has ended up as perhaps one of the greatest animated films ever made, perfectly capturing the slapdash, mix-and-match wonder of a child playing with LEGO, infused with charm and genuine comedy. If you were expecting the same sort of surprise from the movie's inevitable, incredibly meta tie-in, then you're set for disappointment I'm afraid. That doesn't mean that it's bad.
What is this game, but a miserable pile of ramshackle ideas pilfered from better games? That damning statement about Lords of Shadow 2 is unfortunately true. While I, along with many of you, retained hope for Gabriel Belmont and his introspective battle of self and his quest to destroy Satan, abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2 were very different. They featured differing combat styles, gameplay mechanics and even changes to open world approaches. Lightning Returns, the final installment in the trilogy, carries on the tradition of changing everything. Unfortunately, these changes are not improvements.
The next time you shrug your shoulders and mutter under your breath, when faced with an obvious truism like "Don't judge a book by its cover", remember this review. If there was ever a title that captured the essence of that saying, it would be indie UK developer Roll7's PlayStation Vita exclusive, OlliOlli.
If you're a JRPG fan, this game has all the features that you probably associate with the genre - cute yet serious and intriguing characters, multi-facetted plot, plenty of side missions, innovative battle system and hours of gameplay. It appears that the best JRPGs can now truly be found on handheld devices.
As the latest iteration in the franchise, Assassin's Creed IV had quite a tall order ahead of it. It had to be bigger and better than previous games, and make up for the problems in Assassin's Creed III. Burdened with comparisons to previous games, as well as other sandbox giant GTA V, there was a lot of pressure for Assassin's Creed IV to be something amazing. For the most part, it delivered.

Hi Tulli. I've recently upgraded my TV and wondered if you could insert the 8-LPCM SAD and combine with my new TV.
I would really appreciate any assistance. |

The thing is, I use to have a 9600gt that had a physical s/pdif passthrough port of which I hooked up a cable to my mobo s/pdif internal header. It worked great, would send dts and ac3 to my sound system through my tv. Then the video card failed and I bought this 210 that has an onboard audio chip which won't let me do this.
I've gotten my bluray player, cable receiver, and xbox to work without a hitch. Is there no way to make this happen? Thanks, ForestKlown |

Please sign and forward. ThanksImranBegin forwarded message:From: "Sumi Abedin" <act@...>Date: May 1, 2013 9:08:33 AM EDTTo: "Mohammad Imran" <dalibagh@...>Subject: The tragedies in BangladeshReply-To: "Sumi Abedin" <act@...>The email below is from Sumi Abedin, a young woman from Bangladesh who survived the tragic Tazreen garment factory fire on Nov. 24, 2012 in which 112 of her cow-orkers were killed. Sumi has started a petition on org.credoaction.com, calling on major American corporations to take action to prevent further deaths in their supply chains, and demanding full and fair compensation for all workers injured in recent tragedies. On May Day, CREDO is proud to stand in solidarity with workers all around the world who are organizing to get the dignity and basic human rights they deserve. We urge you to support Sumi's campaign by signing her petition. Tell Walmart, Sears, JC Penney and major American brands: Ensure basic safety and human rights of workers in Bangladesh. I started my own campaign on CREDO's new site that allows activists to start their own petitions.
My petition, which is to Walmart, Sears, JC Penney and major American brands, and their suppliers in Bangladesh, asks the following:
Take immediate steps to deploy safety improvements in your supplier factories by joining the legally binding Bangladesh Fire and Building Safety Agreement and pay the compensation owed to injured workers and the families of workers killed while sewing your clothing in Bangladesh. Furthermore, work with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajed's government in Bangladesh to allow workers to form unions and improve safety and health inspections in your supply chain.
I feel lucky that I survived the fire last November, but my heart hurts for all the victims of the Tazreen fire, the recent Rana Plaza building collapse and for the hundreds of other workers who have been killed in Bangladesh at factories where clothes were being manufactured for Walmart, Sears, JC Penney and other American retailers.
Over 360 people have died in Bangladesh since last week, after the collapse of an eight-story factory building where clothes were being manufactured for American and European consumers. Although workers had their doubts about entering the building since cracks had developed on the facade, managers forced the workers to enter the building and work as usual.
The disaster at Rana Plaza is now the deadliest incident in the garment industry in known history. Two of the brands identified in documents found in the rubble are sold at JC Penney. The building collapse is but one in a series of disasters that could have been prevented, had the largest apparel buyers learned from earlier tragedies and adopted the safety measures urged by unions and labor rights groups. In December 2010, 29 workers perished in the That's It Sportswear factory fire, where clothing destined for JC Penney was found. Then, just last fall disaster struck again. The fire at Tazreen, a supplier to Walmart and Sears, took the lives of 112 garment workers. These are only three of the dozens of preventable incidents that have taken garment workers' lives in Bangladesh. This pattern of fires and building collapses will not end unless retailers make real change in their sourcing practices.
As noted in a powerful New York Times editorial, "the severity and frequency of these disasters are an indictment of global clothing brands and retailers like Walmart, H&M and the Gap, which buy billions of dollars of clothes from Bangladesh but have so far refused to demand and pay for adequate safeguards at the factories that fill their orders."
Enough is enough. We cannot let American companies get away with ignoring basic safety violations and human rights abuses.
Thank you for your support.

For new questions please post at magento.stackexchange.com, the community-run support site for the Magento community. We will be providing updates on the new forum solution soon. For questions or concerns please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
I use Mageneto CE 184.108.40.206 and i noticed that i can not validate VAT numbers from my store country (Greece). I tested VAT numbers from other EU countries and it was ok.
I spent a few hours and i think i found the solution. The VIES system uses country code EL for Greece (HELLAS is the country name we use inside our country) and magento uses the standard country code GR for greece.
i changed function checkVatNumber in app/code/core/mage/customer/helper/data.php (the if statement before try)
public function checkVatNumber($countryCode, $vatNumber, $requesterCountryCode = '', $requesterVatNumber = '') { // Default response $gatewayResponse = new Varien_Object(array( 'is_valid' => false, 'request_date' => '', 'request_identifier' => '', 'request_success' => false )); if (!extension_loaded('soap')) { Mage::logException(Mage::exception('Mage_Core', Mage::helper('core')->__('PHP SOAP extension is required.'))); return $gatewayResponse; } if (!$this->canCheckVatNumber($countryCode, $vatNumber, $requesterCountryCode, $requesterVatNumber)) { return $gatewayResponse; } //greek "hack" for VIES SYSTEM if ($countryCode ==='GR') {$countryCode ='EL';} try {
and it worked, it validates my country VAT numbers. i thought of changing it to the database but i dont know the implications. should i report this as a bug?
Has anyone got this problem with the VAT checker? I followed the instructions for 1.7 on the Magento Guide, and I have the validation working on the Admin Area in Configuration- General - Company VAT No. that seems to work. But my problem is it does not give me a vaidate button or seem to validate automatically on the Customer Check out Screens, I've tried it with Shipping address, Billing address, create a new customer in the admin area, none of them have a vaidate button and if I just add in a number it just accepts it.
Should there be a Validate button on the customer Shipping page beside the VAT No. box? thanks, B
it could be a problem with the redirect which was made when the old service url is called… but thats only a guess
you could try my extension here it overrides the Mage_Customer_Helper_Data, sets the new validation-service-url and checks if the first two signs are a country code or not… if you use it, deactivate every other class which overrides the Mage_Customer_Helper_Data .
I've managed to fix my particular problem of our own VAT number not validating to start with by changing the VIES WSDL URL in the data.php file.
Roughly line 74
/** * WSDL of VAT validation service * */ const VAT_VALIDATION_WSDL_URL = 'http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/services/checkVatService.wsdl';
change the URL to http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl as per the information provided by VIES on this site http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/faq.html Q16
I managed to fix this problem by adding an entry in the /etc/hosts file on the server that is making the request.
The problem was that on my server IPv6 was enabled and ec.europa.eu accepts IPv6 requests but responds to them using IPv6
And that causes the SOAP request to fail.
Adding the following the line in /etc/hosts/ worked for me
18.104.22.168 ec.europa.eu
This forces the usage of IPv4
I seem to have got this working now after quite a bit of fiddling. The only thing I am not now clear about is this - There seems to be no indication on the front end of whether VAT validation has been successful or not.
I have tested this in every possible way but if an invalid VAT number is entered there is no indication to the customer apart from the fact that VAT is added. Equally the same transaction repeated but with the correct VAT number entered completes correctly with no VAT added but equally no indication that the validation has taken place and succeeded.
Is this correct or should there be some success or failure message box or a message that the EU site is not working (which is quite often the case)
VAT verificación fails when you use ipv6, if your reject it, Magento will try over ipv4 and it will work:
# dig +short aaaa ec.europa.eu 2001:bc8:3408:200::2 2001:bc8:3408:100::2 #
ip6tables -I OUTPUT -m tcp -p tcp -d 2001:bc8:3408:100::2 -j REJECT ip6tables -I OUTPUT -m tcp -p tcp -d 2001:bc8:3408:200::2 -j REJECT
Should be elegant, create a script to upgrade this rules, maybe some day the ups are changed by owner.
You can also use IPv6 proxy to IPv4.
Thank you all for your help! Really appreciated!

Rear axle vent
Anyone have a good photo of the rear axle vent assembly with the hose for a 1998 dodge ram 1500. Mine is completely missing and this weekend I changed the gear oil and when I took the fill plug out of the rear end cover a big gust of air came out. Not good for the seals.
Hi :Hey: and I sure wish I had an answer for you. Best I can do is :icon_bump: this back to the top for you.

Spared In Shooting, Holiday Spirit Comforts Family
One family whose son was in Sandy Hook Elementary during the shooting spends the day visiting Santa and trying to regain some semblance of normalcy. WNPR's Jeff Cohen reports.
Copyright © 2012 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
In Newtown, Connecticut, the small New England community continues to mourn after Friday's shooting that claimed the lives of so many children. Families with children in the school who survived the shooting are struggling to explain the tragedy to their kids. But they're also trying to retain some normalcy in the holiday season.
Jeff Cohen, from member station WNPR, met up with one family.
JEFF COHEN, BYLINE: In Greenwich, Santa is inside McArdle's Florist and Garden Center. Outside are his reindeer - four real, live reindeer for everyone to see.
Brian Baillargeon is here with his family. It's about an hour from the Sandy Hook Elementary School where his son Hunter is in third grade. Together, they're trying to figure out which reindeer is which.
HUNTER BAILLARGEON: You say their name and then they'll look at you. Vixen. Donner. Dancer...
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: That's right.
COHEN: I met Baillargeon Friday morning, as he left the school in Newtown after he had been reunited with his son. At that point, all he knew was that two or three staff members had been hurt. The news would get much worse. Baillargeon has talked a lot with his son since then, trying to help the eight-year-old understand.
BRIAN BAILLARGEON: You know, he understands exactly what happened. He asked when does he think he can go back to school and, you know, and we tell him we're not sure. You know, and he asked me today if he's going to get his coat and his lunchbox that's still in the classroom. And I said yes, Hunter.
BAILLARGEON: You know, you'll get your lunchbox and your coat.
COHEN: And, of course, the boy also had questions about people, including principal Dawn Hochsprun, who died in the attack.
BAILLARGEON: He had a really good relationship with the principal. You know, and he asked us today, you know, when do you think that they're going to, you know, find another principal?
COHEN: He's also got friends in first grade from soccer and after-school activities.
BAILLARGEON: He's wondering if one of his friends is OK. You know, so, you know, definitely not taking our mind off of it. We're just trying to just kind of, you know, just moving forward as best as we can with the situations that we're given.
COHEN: For his part, Baillargeon says it's hard for him to process the fact that so many young lives have been lost. Of the dead, 20 were children most of them six and seven years old.
BAILLARGEON: These kids are just - they haven't even gotten - they haven't even had a chance. You know? They didn't even get a chance to steal a candy bar from Stop 'N Shop. You know what I mean? It's like they're - and it's unfortunate. You know, I'm still in shock. I don't know. It's hard to explain.
COHEN: Eventually, Baillargeon decided it was time to try and think about something else - for a little while, anyway. So they came here.
BAILLARGEON: We're here today just to kind of get the kids out. A nice, beautiful, you know, day and holiday season. And they just wanted to, you know, come and see Santa and the reindeers. And then, just kind of get some fresh air.
COHEN: Baillargeon says he knows there will be more hard conversations. But at least for a few minutes, it felt like the holidays again.

I really have no idea...is he AD? Is he AP? he is pure tank? I'm really confused...
He's a beefy caster.
Tank with Abyssal Scepter for AP and mpen.
I like getting a Sunfire for HP and armor + damage output for then starting to get AP. Usually I don't even get AP until I the end of the game, as the team thinks I am a tank and I have to play like one if I want to win. My default build is: Sorc boots, Sunfire Cape, Force of Nature, Guardian's Angel, Abyssal Scepter, Rylai's Scepter. I normally change the build every game, like getting Swiftness if they got high move speed, etc.
Chip Chipperson
Force of Nature Rylai's Scepter Abyssal Scepter 2x Sunfire Cape Sorcerer's Shoes/Boots of Swiftness (I tend to use the latter) Commence rape.
Hybridish He has multiple build paths but you don't want to focus on any one aspect of him.
OP, just go here: http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-le...dekaiser-24061 I can't remember the last time I lost a game with Morde after learning this guide. It's also the highest rated build/guide on the website, if that means anything to you.

Denim Events
Donna Ida & Simeon Farrar Denim Customization Event
London fashion designer Simeon Farrar will be taking to the streets of Belgravia to customise jeans outside Donna Ida's Belgravia boutique! This is in celebration of the Elizabeth Street Summer Party on Wednesday 12th June 2013 from 6pm-11pm.
Simeon, famous for his printed tees, will be customising any jeans bought on the day at Donna Ida, 40 Elizabeth Street London SW1W 9NZ. Donna Ida is an amazing denim destination, stocking tonnes of the top brands from J Brand, IDA, Current/Elliott, Frame Denim, Paige, and James Jeans plus tops and accessories to complete your looks, including pieces from Tucker, Splendid and Roseanna.
The annual Elizabeth Street Summer Charity party will be held on the 12th June 2013 raising money for Battersea Dogs & Cats home. The street officially opens at 6pm with a dog show followed by a parade of furry friends from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home. Delicious food and a wide selection of drinks will be available throughout the evening along with entertainment including a fabulous auction.
For a sneak preview of Simeon Farrar's work, here are the results when he customised jeans in Donna Ida's pop-up boutique last month. You can watch the video just below to see his work! So, are any of you going to go? He's definitely a very talented artist!
Donna Ida Denim Drive
Donna Ida is joining together with Jeans for Genes and Newlife again for the Donna Ida Denim Drive! From Tuesday 28th May until 21st June 2013, if you bring in your old jeans to the Donna Ida boutiques in Draycott Avenue in Chelsea, Elizabeth Street in Belgravia, The Village in Westfield London and Swan Lane in Guildford, you will receive a £20 voucher towards a new pair of jeans! The plan is to recycle the unwanted jeans and raise funds for equipment for children with genetic disorders.
Donna Ida Thornton who is a patron for Jeans for Genes said: "We all have an old pair of jeans that have been living in the back of our wardrobes and you never wear. Now it's time to clear out your wardrobe for a good cause. If you have jeans that are worn out, old, wrong colour or they don't fit, bring them in and we'll give you a voucher for a nice new pair. We're donating all your old jeans from the Donna Ida Denim Drive to Jeans for Genes and Newlife so they will be recycled to fund equipment for disabled children."
Caroline Harding, CEO of Jeans for Genes says, "Donna Ida Thornton is an amazing patron of Jeans for Genes, helping raise an incredible amount of money and providing much needed funds for children and families affected by genetic disorders in the UK."
So what are you waiting for? Drop them in and get some discount on a brand new pair of jeans that you have been craving! Have any of you taken part in this before?
Levi's x Will.i.am x Coca Cola Limited Edition 501 Jeans for EKOCYCLE
A couple of weeks ago at the Levi's Haus in Los Angeles, the brand celebrated the Levi's partnership with will.i.am and Coca Cola. For this partnership, Levi's created a limited edition 501 jean for EKOCYCLE, a social movement founded by legendary musician and producer will.i.am and Coca-Cola. The limited edition 501 jean is made of post-consumer waste (8 plastic bottles to be exact).
The jeans are available on Levis.com as well as in select Levi's stores and they retail for $128! The idea behind all of this is to show the everyday recycling choices made by Levi's and to change the way consumers think about and treat waste. I think it's a really cool idea and I'm always a big fan of will.i.am, so I'm glad he's behind it! You can check out the images in the gallery below.
Joe's Jeans x Purple Magazine Event
The celebrate their launch across the pond, Joe's Jeans has taken a trip to London to host a dinner event at Le Caprice with Purple Magazine. Hosts Olvier Zahm, of Purple, and Joe's Joe Dahan were joined by the likes of Lily McMenamy, Marissa Montgomery, Zara Martin, Sara Parker Bowles, Valentine Fillol Cordier, Lara Bohinc and Ellen von Unwerth.
At the event the guests dined and mingled amongst each other as well as having some fun with the photographers. Click through the gallery to see the photos of all the fun below.

On Washington Avenue there are stores that sell what can only be described as "prison manufacture" products. A ladies' hairbrush, for example, in which the handle pulls out as a shank or icepick ($15); a bar of soap with a lever-catch that fires one .22 caliber bullet ($20 -- and the same ex-con who makes them also sells the popular faux radio antennae "liquor tubes" you see in use by homeless and students, too). Salespersons must know you, or you have to come accompanied by someone they trust, but the trade is old and established, selling to late-night waitresses, dancers, hookers, masseurs of both sexes or no sex, as well as to the common criminals whose culture has thrived on the Beach since the days of Murph the Surf, and before him, Al Capone.
Passing a small patch of empty grass outside a hotel near Eighth and Collins, New Times's guide to the demimonde announces: "That's where we take off the drunked-up college boys [like the kids who were just down for the Winter Music Conference]. They drink too much and lay down to sleep and we make orejas de conejo [rabbit ears] out of their pockets [by pulling them inside out]. Between 2:00 a.m. and sunup, you see white boys all over South Beach, sprawled out like X's on their asses, they arms spread out like Jesus . . ."
When the fuzz catches anyone for any of the crimes cited above, it's jail, arraignment, jail, trial, and usually jail again; if you're Bisente Martinez, or Billy Budrow, or Eby Loveland, however, the routine is more mundane: Cop decides you've broken some variation of the homeless ordinances; you're clapped into an enforcement code van and plasti-cuffed to one of a series of chrome poles inside; if you're unlucky, you're among the first on a shift, and may have to stand or sit for hours while the van ratchets around, seeking a full load. (MIABPD "harvests" 24 hours, but there are only two runs a day to Miami, so you often find yourself standing in the frozen "dump cell" at Eleventh and Washington, because the place is too crowded to sit.) The plastic cuffs in the van are meant to prevent fighting, and if you make a lot of noise and flail around anyway, the officers will "hog-tie" you with a series of metal cuffs, and fling you on the floor, where your fellow prisoners will laugh and spit at you for being a dumb prick . . . In the holding cell, the air-conditioning is kept at freezing because shivering, blanket-wearing homeless are more likely to be peaceful homeless . . . On the other hand, if the county jail at Thirteenth and Thirteenth is too crowded, you may get sprung after only a few hours and some misdemeanor coffee.
A bad part of the Beach for homeless is Twentieth and Collins, a heavy drug market and raggedy-assed hooker stroll. Ghetto vagrants from Miami fronting dope of various kinds will often get into it with Latino and Anglo tramps, and Officer Trinidad swears: "That location often makes me wonder where my head was at when I promised to 'protect and serve'" . . . But the worst scene, in terms of violence, hands down, is the old Carillon Hotel at 79th and Collins, once featured prominently every Friday night at 10 in the opening credits of Miami Vice, now a derelict building in the heart of Little Buenos Aires.
Today's Carillon is a kind of hotel without portfolio, purportedly empty, supposedly awaiting redevelopment. South Beach sources allege a rough crew hangs out there, dealing, and even renting rooms to "Aryan" customers for $5 a night. On the day New Times visited, a husky, battered fellow named Rigoberto from Chicago was sitting out front, picking at a sore on the underside of his foot, and pointing at the badly healed scar that split his right eyebrow and bisected his eyelashes: "I dunno why dey done me this way," he answered a question. "Four Anglos hitting with sticks and kicking!" A tall guard, adamant that there were no homeless living in the old hotel, and perhaps feeling guilty for lying, crooked his finger and strolled a short distance: "Señor," he said, "Rigoberto is crasy. There are a bunch of Anglo vagrants living under the bridges around here, Gulf War veterans, Vietnam veterans. Much dopa. Very angry men. You heard of the killing [in North Beach] last year? Too much traficante, you understand? This Rigoberto tells them he fucks their mothers. He is lucky he still breathes." He pointed toward the beach, where he said the bad Anglos gathered. "Cuidado," he warned.
But after a long trudge through the sand, New Times found no one willing to talk, or who looked particularly dangerous. Turning around, however, lines of laundry strung across the rear windows of the upper floors of the Carillon flapped in the sea breeze.
A chain fence meant to keep intruders out had been bent back, and flattened weeds showed a path to the rear of the building. Plywood had been tacked over doorways in several places. It appeared to have been pried open regularly.
Inside looked like a Blade Runner set. Surreal dissolution, shiny silt on all surfaces. Your footsteps echoed badly, and on the stairs between the second and third floors, black shadows preceded a delegation from the upper reaches of the Carillon:

Join GayCities, the fun way to discover the world
See where your friends and people like you are going and what they say about places and events worldwide.The leather and the infamous
The most famous name in Amsterdam leather (aside from the RoB chain of stores) is this highly sexed three-level bar with origins as early as 1953. Not the bastion of man-on-man leather abandon that it was in the 1970s and 80s, the Argos nevertheless remains a fixture of the scene, albeit with a higher quotient of textiles and casual footwear than at any time in its sordid history. The afore-mentioned RoB took over in 2010, transforming the rough (and very ready) basement into a more slickly decorated (designery?) but still functional darkroom space, with an unorthodox hint of blue sci-fi-like lighting. Since the late 1970s the main bar has certainly developed a patina, with cluttered surfaces, hanging lanterns and decades of a certain unwashedness all contributing to the unique Argos atmosphere. Several steep steps take you up to the second-half back area of the bar, which overlooks the canal (and the straight red light district) behind. For the record, the ever so convoluted and ancient history of the Argos name involves a hotel that doubled as a leather-friendly establishment, a New Jersey mafia man whose son was into leather, various shady but necessary moves dictated by local zoning laws, competition and nastiness — at one point there were three different Argos spaces (including Heintjes Hoeksteeg in a slight passageway off the Warmoesstraat) — and, perhaps most importantly, a barman named Kees Raadschelder, who came to the bar's rescue and in 1979 shifted the business to its current location. Raadschelder died in the early days of the AIDS era. These are tamer times, but you can still hear the sounds of struggle and pleasure coming from the basement. The Argos stages occasional FickstutenMarkt events, the first outside their native Deutschland. And every first Sunday of the month, from 3pm, the Argos stages ncAdam (Naked Club Amsterdam) —a four-hour naked-only safe sex party.
