Semi-OT: Butterfly Garden Decor?
Hi everyone,
I haven't been around much on this forum lately, but I'm WS/SS'ing like crazy and always keeping the butterflies in mind. As a fellow butterfly admirer, I wanted to ask you if you had any decorations in your gardens that are butterfly themed? Flags, signs, wind chimes, lights, and the like? I have a few items here and there. I have a butterfly wind chime that stays indoors year 'round. On another note, I got this beautiful, cozy butterfly throw/blanket for my birthday last month and it was perhaps my favorite gift out of the presents I received. :-)
Brad AKA Moonwolf
I have a few things that are butterfly themed... There is a metal sculpture hanging from the bricks on the wall under my covered porch. I also have a black metal butterfly shaped stake that I bought at Hobby Lobby two summers ago. I have a welcome sign in the garden, too, but that's about it. Most everything ends up getting covered up by the flowers by the end of the summer. :-)
I prefer the butterflies and flowers to be the main attraction and don't have much décor. We do have an old potting station on the porch that I love. However, my neighbor gave us a whole bunch of his mother's old weathered garden gnomes, so there's about 10 gnomes out there. FYI, weather-beaten, sun-faded gnomes with glass eyes are a bit creepy. And then my husband added some gargoyles in an attempt to make things more manly. So basically, between the overgrown flowers (because more is more, right?) and the creepy gnomes and random snarly gargoyles, we look like the neighborhood crazy house. I love it.

When first published in Denmark in 2005, Morten Ramsland's Doghead was a staggering success. Although Ramsland's prior poetry collection and first novel had been largely overlooked, Doghead received widespread popular and critical acclaim, winning numerous national prizes, including the prestigious Danish Booksellers' Golden Laurels Prize. Four years later, Doghead has now made it to the United States, and has already garnered its author the perhaps well-meaning, but dubious title, of "Denmark's John Irving."
A sprawling, dark-humored, frank, and stringently cynical novel, Doghead traces four generations of the Eriksson family, whose vividly offbeat members include wayward sailors, epic drunks, would-be painters, over-attentive mothers, adulterers, accomplished liars, orphans, and escapists. It's a generally unhappy clan, a collection of almost-strangers who find themselves bound together not so much by blood ties or loyalty, as by common history.
For this is a family that is irrevocably steeped in its own lore. Each person is defined by several stories that are repeatedly told to nephews, nieces, and grandchildren—by the three or four nicknames that each of them have been christened with. (The narrator, Asger Eriksson, is known at various points of the novel by no less than five titles: The Liar, The Latchkey Kid, The Bastard Boy, The Danish Shrimp, and The Bandit. Each name is the product of its own story.) It's a hermetic mythology, as illuminating as it is often reductive. But it is only by retelling (and painting) these family legends that Asger can connect with his family and finally reconcile with the years of misunderstanding, neglect, cruelty, and obliviousness that have characterized most of the Erikssons' interactions. "It's as if the stories have started taking control of me," he admits. "They're driving me back towards my own birth and motives that I'm not sure I'm quite ready to confront."
In her recent New York Times book review, Clare Clark declares Doghead to be a "bleak book" which ". . . while enthusiastically engaging with the coarser aspects of life, displays a grimly pessimistic view of human nature." And though she's certainly not wrong in her estimation of the novel's resignation to the realities of familial callousness and vindictiveness, Clark does perhaps disregard the book's real motives. This is not a novel that seeks to redeem its characters, so much as it is a story about the possibility of catharsis through art. Asger's grandfather struggles all his life to have his cubist-inspired paintings accepted, only to find peacefulness in mundane pastel landscapes in his old age. His grandmother Bjørk is for decades the family storyteller, weaving tales not only about the family's history, but also the beauty and magic of her Norwegian homeland. Asger himself runs away to art school in Amsterdam following a grim adolescent episode.
Where the book does ultimately misstep, however, is in its failure to flesh out this catharsis for its readers. Rather, the novel seems to collapse under its own weight by the last third of the book, when Asger begins to relate his own role in the family history. Rattling off one tragedy after another, Asger's personal revelations feel mechanical and disconnected, and at times, unnecessarily dramatized. Where Asger, The Narrator, was a perceptive and empathetic figure in the novel, Asger, The Character, reads far less truthfully, even in the midst of his most intimate disclosure—a story in which the eponymous "Doghead"—the monster that he believed lived under the basement stairs of his childhood home—is finally revealed.
Despite its shortcomings, Doghead remains an impressive tribute to the complexity of familial relationships, the profundity of art, and the importance of a shared history. "The stories were the glue holding our family together," Asger explains at the end of the book, "it was only after they vanished that everything began to disintegrate, and slowly we were scattered to the winds."
Pedro Zarraluki's The History of Silence (trans. Nick Caistor and Lorenza García) begins with the narrator and his wife, Irene, setting out to write a book about silence, itself called The History of Silence: "This is the story of how. . .
There are plenty of reasons you can fail to find the rhythm of a book. Sometimes it's a matter of discarding initial assumptions or impressions, sometimes of resetting oneself. Zigmunds Skujiņš's Flesh-Coloured Dominoes was a defining experience in the necessity. . .
In a culture that privileges prose, reviewing poetry is fairly pointless. And I've long since stopped caring about what the world reads and dropped the crusade to get Americans to read more poems. Part of the fault, as I've suggested. . .
I would like to pose the argument that it is rare for one to ever come across a truly passive protagonist in a novel. The protagonist (perhaps) of Three Light-Years, Claudio Viberti, is just that—a shy internist who lives in. . .
The last five days of the eleventh-century Icelandic politician, writer of sagas, and famous murder victim Snorri Sturleleson (the Norwegian spelling, Snorre, is preserved in the book) make up Thorvald Steen's most recently translated historical fiction, The Little Horse. Murdered. . .
We all know Paris, or at least we think we know it. The Eiffel Tower. The Latin Quarter. The Champs-Élysées. The touristy stuff. In Dominique Fabre's novel, Guys Like Me, we're shown a different side of Paris: a gray, decaying. . .
One hundred pages into Birth of a Bridge, the prize-winning novel from French writer Maylis de Kerangal, the narrator describes how starting in November, birds come to nest in the wetlands of the fictional city of Coca, California, for three. . .

It's another Saturday night in the city. You've got plenty of friends to hang out with-but no date, with no particular prospects on the horizon. So, what's a nice, single Chicago Jew to do? You're mother constantly nags you about the grandchildren she claims she will never see, while you'd just like to find another nice, Jewish single with whom you connect-enough so that maybe, someday, the two of you will smash the glass beneath a chuppah, dance the hora, and start your life together.
"Dating is really hard," said Ammi Dorevitch, a former Chicago single. "I got married at 32. It was the right time for the right one, but I dated for a lot of years. It was a challenge." Dorevitch is among a number of matchmakers working through a newly-launched Jewish dating website, JChicago.com.
The site is different from other dating services because it's a "modern twist on an old fashioned way of dating." Clients register by filling out an online form, answering questions about their interests, lifestyle, references, religious background, and level of observance and other criteria they might look for in another person. A matchmaker then contacts the clients to establish a personal relationship through phone calls, Skype, emails, and face-to-face interviews.
"We take the time to get to know them," Dorevitch said.
The matchmaker selects profiles of potential matches and gives them to the client for review. In turn, the matchmaker shows the client's profile and photograph to potential matches. Clients accept or decline a potential match through a confidential system. When two clients agree to a match, JChicago forwards their respective contact information so they can arrange a conversation and plan a date. Matchmakers continue screening members, recommending matches and assisting during the dating process. It is up to the client to decide which matches to date and how involved the matchmaker should be.
"Dating should be fun for people. It shouldn't be so tense," Dorevitch said. "Our hope is that we can make it an easier, more comfortable experience for people."
JChicago is part of a larger network of Jewish matchmaking sites--JRetroMatch.com and SawYouAtSinai.com. JRetroMatch is geared toward Jews of all levels of observance. SawYouAtSinai focuses on but is not limited to helping Traditional, Yeshivish, and Modern Orthodox Jewish singles find an appropriate mate. JChicago and its network serve Jewish singles of numerous lifestyles, including young professionals, single parents, divorcees, and widows.
"The site is for everyone, of all ages," Dorevitch said. "It's really a community initiative."
JChicago is unique from other Jewish dating/matchmaking services because it operates as a community project with support from a number of local partners: Taglit-Birthright Israel Next Chicago (a JUF affiliate), JCC's Sidney N. Shure Kehilla, The Living Room, Anshe Sholom B'Nai Israel, Hillel at Loyola, Club 1948, Chabad on Campus, and Free Synagogue of Chicago.
Dorevitch, a former executive director for Hillels of Illinois, met her husband through a matchmaker. "I know what it's like to go through the dating process and I also worked with matchmakers," she said. Her matchmakers' encouraging words provided the blueprint for her own matchmaking role with JChicago.
"My work with Hillel was really about Jewish continuity," she said. "Matchmaking is also Jewish continuity. People want to get married. It's very hard to meet people these days.
"People work so much more, so many longer hours than they used to. People are disconnected somewhat," she said. "Chicago has so much going on in terms of Jewish life…it's also intimidating. Bars and clubs are not always the best venues for meeting people."
Other modern complications add to dating difficulties. Younger adults, especially, often lack basic social skills because of their primary communication form is texting or through the Internet. "They don't know how to read body language anymore…For many people, a relationship is what they build on Facebook," Dorevitch said. For other singles, "there was a time when everything was getting put on hold because of societal pressures to build a career first … I think that there's a shift back.
"It's OK to be marriage minded," she said. "People really do want to be married and they really want to be connected … [They're] looking for a partner for life that they can grow with and have a family with and have good communications with … Someone to be their best friend."
Those are high expectations, but JChicago's matchmaking team is ready to meet them for single Jews throughout the area.
Dorevitch currently lives in Israel with her husband and children. While she will do some of her Chicago matchmaking via phone and Skype, there are local matchmakers ready to help make those face-to-face connections.
"This time of year, during the High Holidays, people are evaluating their goals and thinking about the future. This is a great time to give it a chance, to see if the online dating scene will work for them," she said.

A 67 year old woman, who is well known to you, has been diagnosed with Alzheimer"s disease and is in a care home. You are asked to see her because she has become aggressive and violent towards carers and other residents. Carers have followed NICE guidance on the management of aggression with no success. You manage to examine her and can find no obvious cause for her deterioration. You decide that she will need admission for further assessment in order to exclude other remediable causes for her agitation, and that it is justifiable to sedate her at this point. Which the single most appropriate drug for this purpose? a ) IM haloperidol b ) Oral diazepam c ) Oral chlorpromazine d ) IM lorazepam e ) Oral lorazepam • Answer: E Agitation and aggression should be managed by non- pharmacological methods where possible. The use of drugs is often unnecessary, and they can increase the risk of cerebrovascular events. If the risks have been considered and are justified, oral drugs are preferable to parenteral routes. Oral lorazepam, haloperidol or olanzapine in the lowest effective dose are the preferred drugs. Careful patient monitoring after sedation is mandatory. The Mental Capacity Act 2005 has the following principles • Adults must be assumed to have capacity to make decisions about their care unless proved otherwise. • Individuals should be given all available support to help them come to a decision. • Individuals should retain the right to make what others might consider eccentric or unwise decisions. • Anything done on behalf of an individual without capacity must be in that person's best interests. • The rights and basic freedoms of an individual without capacity should be restricted as little as possible. • With the patient's consent, relatives and carers should be involved in management decisions. Depression • Depression assessments such as the 4 item Geriatric Depression Scale are easy and quick to perform with a high sensitivity and specificity. Patients who screen positive for depression should be considered for antidepressants and be reassessed cognitively when their depression has lifted. • Care must be taken as dementia and depression often co-exist Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) 1.Are you basically satisfied with your life? 2.Do you feel that your life is empty? 3.Are you afraid that something bad is going to happen to you? 4.Do you feel happy most of the time? 4 Item GDS score /4, Score 1 for answers in block capitals: 2- 4=Depressed, 1=uncertain, 0=Not depressed TATTS, tired all the time syndrome • 20 to 30% of cases will have a discernible physical disease. Up to 50% of cases have a mainly psychological cause, with tiredness as a cardinal feature of depression. • 'Listen to the patient. He (or she) is telling you the diagnosis.' • Define exactly what is meant by tired or fatigue • Note the duration of the problem apparent precipitating factor? • previous levels of energy and how these compare with the present 'What do you expect at your age?' The active elderly person who suddenly loses energy and becomes easily fatigued has serious illness. • Has the patient noticed any other changes?: This may be change in weight or appetite, polyuria and thirst or sleep disturbance. Perhaps the ankles are swollen at the end of the day and nocturia more pronounced • Has there been a recent start or change in medication?: Treatments for hypertension, especially betablockers, can cause lethargy. • Is weight going up or down? How is appetite • Is there polyuria or nocturia? Diabetes mellitus is not the only condition to be considered. Chronic renal failure may present with lethargy and polyuria from failure to concentrate urine. • Has the bowel habit changed? Bowels are often sluggish in depression or a change of bowel habit may indicate malignancy and, with it, anaemia. • Examination • Differential diagnoses Depression Anaemia; iron deficiency; cancer; renal disease; liver disease; heart failure; thyroid disease; diabetes; autoimmune Cancer • Man • Woman Lung Bowel Bowel Lung prostate Breast/ovary Which of the following statements about screening for colorectal cancer are true? Select three options only. A. The presence of a latent phase with precancerous lesions makes colorectal cancer ideal for screening B. Colonoscopy is the only screening method proven to reduce mortality C. Of patients with colorectal cancer 90% have symptoms of rectal bleeding D. Proposed national screening for colorectal cancer will target those aged 50-74 years E. Flexible sigmoidoscopy in women of average risk picks up only 35% of cancers F. Of patients with iron-deficient anaemia in general practice 11% were found to have gastrointestinal cancer • Answer: A,E, F fecal occult blood testing is the only screening method proven to cut death rates. the proposed screening programme will start in 2010 and scren the age group 60-69 years. the CONCeRN study showed low sensitivity for colonoscopy in women of average risk. rectal bleeding occurs in less than 50% of colorectal cancer. Guideline on management • Physical problems such as diabetes, heart failure or serious systemic disease need appropriate management. Anaemia should be corrected. it would be wrong to assume that iron deficiency is only a problem when anaemia occurs. • Psychological distress is common with lethargy and fatigue and it is difficult to ascertain if this is the primary cause of the complaint or the result of it. question of who benefits from antidepressants? Antidepressants, especially selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs), should be used with great care, • Fatigue and somnolence -respiratory failure and carbon dioxide retention. Obstructive sleep apnoea is associated with somnolence, lethargy and poor concentration. Loss of weight is beneficial. • The doctor may help the patient to identify social and lifestyle issues that are responsible in part or in whole. The patient may be in a position to address them but, even if they are unavoidable, the mere fact that someone has discussed them and lent an empathetic ear can be therapeutic. • Drug or alcohol abuse may need to be addressed. As part of their annual review for hypertension, your patients have urea and electrolytes measured. Significant numbers are now coming back with evidence of chronic renal impairment. Which of the following statements about this condition are true? Select three statements only. A. Most laboratories now provide a measurement of the patient's true glomerular filtration rate (GFR) which is a definitive guide to renal function B.Patients with eGFR > 60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 do not have renal impairment C.An eGFR < 15 is the cut-off for stage 5 chronic renalimpairment, at which point patients should be considered for dialysis D. A blood pressure treatment goal of < 125/75 is indicatedfor patients with proteinuria E. A high-protein diet is required in patients with proteinuria to replace urinary losses F. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are contraindicated in patients with only one kidney G. Patients with moderate-to-severe chronic renal impairment should follow a diet restricted in potassium • Answer: C,D,G The result measured by laboratories is an estimated GFR (or eGFR), which assumes standard body surface area and race. Patients who have, for instance, had an amputation may receive erroneous results. An eGFR between 60 and 89 correlates with mild renal impairment. Stage 5 chronic kidney disease is defined as eGFR < 15. Low protein diet has been shown to reduce death rate in chronic renal disease. Patients with only one kidney are prone to renal impairment and should all be considered for ACE inhibitors.

A beautiful place with sophisticated Andalusian authenticity. The room
was large simple and comfortable, with a cheap mini bar and a powerful
clean shower. The grounds are stunning and well-tended. Breakfast was my
favourite experience of the whole trip! And when my wife left her watch
behind they contacted us straight away to say they had it and where
should they send it. A very well run place. - Anonymous
Good location as a base for nearby area - Anonymous
kind people and lots of smiles - Aleksandar
Rooms were spacious and clean. Lovely terrace overlooking the golf course. Staff were friendly. Ideal overnight stop, wouldn't want to stay longer than a couple of days unless you're a golfer. Food was good value. - Anonymous
All the staff we had contact with were very friendly and helpful. We ate in the restaurant and the food was excellent and the prices were very reasonable for a hotel of this class. We would definately stay there again. - Linda
Friendly welcome. A comfortable bed. Parking in the hotel, although at a cost. Good information in room. Helpful staff. Good breakfast facilities. - Sharron
We liked and enjoyed discovering Jerez's history notably the Alkazah andthe camera obsura; the Andalusian equestrian show and museum; theFlamenco museum; Flamenco evening in town; the Sandeman's sherry historytrail; visiting Arcos....... - Jean
Extraordinary friendly and helpful personnel, excellent comfort ,quiet. Restaurant OK but does not match the overall quality and exclusiveness of the hotel - Anonymous
This is a great hotel for any kind of stay within Jerez. We had small children, who were made to feel very welcome, but there were also a lot of couples having a chill out break.
The rooms are spotless with great bathrooms. The pool is a great size with a full time and very dedicated Life Guard. We also had no problems finding sun loungers.
The location is great and it was only 5mins walk to the riding school and 10 mins stroll into the old centre. - Anonymous

thank u sir
Introduction:Rome at War is a Third Century B.C. themed Multiplayer Mod (with SP in alpha stage) develloped for Mount and Blade Warband V. 1.153-1.158
thank u sir
Awesome :bd
So .... no SP?
Singleplayer is included and reworked.
in the game you are a gallic berzerker?
I'm a sexy Gallic noble, I will be twice as much once the Celtic items are done properly, then again all the Celts will look awesome, me just slightly more so.
He's playing with his kock!
how to use low resolution graphic for 32 bit?
go to Modules\RaW 2.4
and overwrite all the textures with is included in the low res pack
Das ist eine gut mod!
Which version of Mount and Blade I need?
At least 1.143 for SP and 1.153+ at least for Multiplayer, latest version which is installed automatically with steam works fine (1.158) and is the recommended version to play the mod.
I hope this isn't like the last one, RaW 1, that was extremely easy and high tier romans are too easy to get on the first one, i hope its different!
i got a problem when iam in a battle my pc stopped and the game isn't responding pc contains 1G video Card 2ram the version of mount and blade war band 1.158 i've downloaded mod without Musci DLC Could any one help me
2gb ram probably means that you are using 32 bit operation system
so you should try low resolution texture pack
now i have updated pc,installed all component od windows 8.1 64 bit and i have 3GB of RAM,i can use without limitation 64 bit texture pack?
well at least looking from technical part you should be able to run game without the crashes
but how good FPS you get is up to your PC specification (procesor, video card, hdd speed and so on)
I'm Already Using It
I've solved the 1st Problem the 2nd is Runtime error what should i do ?
Runtime errors are frequently associated to memory errors in this case lack of RAM memory, I believe Rgcotl ran some tests and at least 2.6 Gb of RAM were necessary to launch everything properly if I remember correctly.
Thanks For Ur Help
well i newer tested game with low resolution textures
so it is hard to say how much rams that would require
but for 32 bit OS users i would recomend to check 32 bit solutions
and get at least 10GB of free HDD space in the C disc
well that is totally imposibile at the moment
size limits they using are way to small for any raw version we ever released :D
might be the favorite 32 bit OS problem
I just download the mod and i can't even play the game anymore, message keeps popping up saying find an online solution...can you help me?
Twcenter.net try to use this, it is about Empire Total War but fixes allot of problems for all games! (it fixed my problem with SKYRIM yay!) i presume you´re having that runtime error yes? this fix is mainly for this kind of error.
Also, please if you see someone with this trouble do the same thing i did and ask them too share this too so we can make a better world :) (yes, even if it doesn´t work with you, then you have a different kind of problem probably)
when i attacked Capua my warriors waiting for something but i couldnt figure out im giving the order but they are like on the treadmill
Thanks man looks great
You need a moddb account, else use one of the mirrors (alternative downloads): Docs.google.com
There might be more scattered on the internet but this is an official one that does not require you to have an account.
Dude,you should open your eyes.The Download button is at the upper part of this page.
FOR THE C0CK[I mean rooster]
Yes, Sparta is part of Koinon Hellenon (Greek League)
The city of Sparta is called Lakedaemon in the singleplayer, and you can recruit Spartan troops from around Lakedaemon.
sparta is in the greek league
Might be a corrupted file, try re-downloading and re-installing the mod.

China's Alibaba booked nearly double Amazon's sales in 2012, Internet Retailer estimates.
China's e-commerce leader Alibaba Group plans to go public next year, likely on a U.S. stock exchange, and analysts estimate the company may be valued at around $100 billion, close to the market valuation of Facebook.
And while this valuation is a little more than half that of U.S. e-commerce leader Amazon.com, which has a market cap of $170 billion as of today, the Chinese online retail giant booked nearly double Amazon's sales in 2012, according to Internet Retailer estimates. Further evidence of Alibaba's dominance in China came on Nov. 11 when the company brought in $5.75 billion in sales in a 24-hour period during its annual "Singles Day" sales event, which is the Chinese version of Cyber Monday in the U.S. This is more than three times the $1.46 billion all U.S. consumers spent online on Cyber Monday 2012, according to comScore Inc.
The leaders of the two largest e-commerce markets in the world—China and the U.S.—already compete directly with each other in China, with Alibaba's Taobao and Tmall marketplaces going head to head with Amazon.cn. As Alibaba expands, aided by the billions it is likely to raise in its upcoming IPO, the two e-commerce giants no doubt will also compete in other markets, including the U.S.
With this in mind, Internet Retailer draws on company reports and its Top500Guide.com data to break down the similarities and differences between the two online retail giants.
One basic difference between the two is that Alibaba only provides an online shopping marketplace where other retailers sell, and does not sell directly to customers. In contrast, Amazon both sells merchandise that it owns to customers and also operates a marketplace. The key metric to look at here to compare the marketplaces is gross merchandise value, or the dollar value of all items sold on each platform. Alibaba reported that the volume of transactions on its two marketplaces, Taobao and Tmall, was around $170 billion in 2012.
Determining Amazon's GMV, however, requires some guesswork, because Amazon does not report it publicly. Instead, it reports total revenue, which was $61.09 billion in 2012. Some of that came from services unrelated to consumer purchases, mainly Amazon Web Services, a business unit that rents data storage capacity and computing power to other companies. Amazon doesn't disclose AWS revenue, but analysts estimate this at about $2 billion for 2012.
That would leave about $59 billion in revenue from sales of Amazon-owned merchandise, and the cut it takes from third-party sellers on its marketplace. Amazon has disclosed publicly that other retailers selling on its marketplace account for about 40% of the units sold on Amazon sites. And Scot Wingo, CEO of ChannelAdvisor Corp., a marketing company that helps retailers sell on Amazon and other web marketplaces, estimates Amazon takes an average commission of 10% on sales by third-party sellers. Doing the math, that suggests Amazon's own sales totaled just over $55 billion and sales by marketplace sellers $37 billion (with Amazon taking a 10% cut and booking some $3.7 billion in revenue). That would put Amazon's 2012 GMV in the range of $92 billion, or just over half of all sales on Alibaba.
Part of the reason that Alibaba is transacting nearly double the amount online than Amazon is that the Chinese company is serving a much larger pool of online shoppers. As of the end of 2012, the U.S. had 254.3 million Internet users, and China more than double that at 571.1 million, according to the World Bank. And China has more room to increase its base of web shoppers, as only 42.3% of its population uses the Internet, compared with 81% of U.S. consumers.
In addition, Chinese people use the web differently than U.S. consumers do. "Compared with U.S. people, Chinese people prefer engaging with others through social media and mobile," says Sun Baohong, a professor at the New York City campus of Beijing-based Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business.
The numbers bear out that assessment. As of the end of June of 2013, there were 464 million mobile Internet users in China, according to the China Internet Network Information Center, three times the number in the U.S. In addition, the most popular Chinese social platform, Qzone, owned by Chinese internet giant Tencent Holdings Limited, had more than 600 million subscribers in the middle of 2013, Tencent says. In contrast, Facebook reported around 200 million U.S. subscribers at same time.
In addition to total sales volume, Amazon and Alibaba tend to diverge on such key operating metrics as average order value. The average ticket is $178 on Alibaba, while Amazon's is a little higher at $220, according to data available on Top500Guide.com. In the past year, Alibaba has expanded into many new categories, such as automobile and financial products, so its ticket price may increase in the future. Amazon has also been moving into more luxury categories, and its average ticket may increase as well.
Amazon's top category is books and other media, such as music and videos. In the third quarter of 2013, media represented 30% of sales on Amazon's sites, Amazon reported. By contrast, the dominant category on Alibaba marketplaces is apparel and electronics. In the recent Nov. 11 sales event in China, four of the top 10 sellers on Alibaba were apparel brands, and three others sold electronics.
In one area, however, these two giant e-commerce companies are moving on parallel tracks, and that is in mobile commerce. Both recorded a similar percentage of sales from mobile devices in 2012—6.5% for Amazon (or $4 billion out of its $61 billion total, according to Top500Guide.com) and 7% (or $12 billion out of $170 billion) for Alibaba—and the percentages are moving up for both. In the recent Single day sales event, 15% of Alibaba's sales came from mobile devices. Amazon's mobile sales will increase 100% to $8 billion in 2013, Internet Retailer estimates.

Ghost Bath - Moonlover (2015) preview
A black metal purist would rather be baptized than slap Ghost Bath with the label 'black metal', in part due to fear of being strung up by his heels and tarred and feathered by droves of furious black metal traditionalists… They are also as fiercely loyal as they are obtusely ignorant when it comes to protecting the genres aphotic purity. This is fine by me.
With that being said, Ghost Bath's upcoming release 'Moonlover' seems to nestle in more accurately with the Black Gaze movement, a term that gets some crowds all rankled and riled up.
I have listened to the song Golden Number in full as I am posting this, being the first song I have heard of Ghost Bath as I wasn't familiar with their 2014 release Funeral. I was neither wooed nor disappointed, but I must admit that riff at 01:47 into the song nullified the evil atmosphere that was building up, for minutes after that riff the guitars and drumming are brazenly poppy in sound, sonically akin to a more post-punk ethos, which I guess is par for the course.
In lieu of total transparency, I'd rather just listen to Lunar Aurora, whom were untouchable when it came to making ambient driven black metal with a potent ability to construct genuinely eerie songs that never strayed too far from its roots. I don't mean to compare Lunar Aurora with Ghost Bath as I don't think Ghost Bath is really trying to mimic them, but those heavily drowned out vocal shrieks on 'Moonlover' really make me just want to listen to Lunar Aurora's 'Andacht' instead.
* Enough of what I think, how egocentric of me, I am more curious as to what you guys think of 'Moonlover'? Do we like it? Do we hate it? Do we not really give a shit?
One thing cannot be argued; That album cover is incredibly bleak and I give full points for that. At least they got a leg up on those stubborn black metal dudes with no visual art sense at all. Maybe.

Meth Drinker - Oil (2014)
• • •
Mother of fuck, how did I miss this release last year? If you are unfamiliar with Meth Drinker then please let me acquaint you. Dearest reader, this is Meth Drinker, Meth Drinker this is dearest reader, be gentle with them. Isn't the name quaint? It's kinda like Bongripper, with a bit more fuck you to the upper class cadre. These New Zealanders join the venerable echelon of country mates; Witchrist, Diocletian, Heresiarch, Vassafor, Ulcerate and that dude that directed one of my favorite sci-fi horror movies ever, Bad Taste.
Meth Drinker will fill your day up with palpable dread and they will shit directly into your soul and rape the youthful effervescence you thought you had retained.
The droning crunch of guitars give way to a few riffs reminiscent to early Autopsy, only played at an even slower paced tempo. The drums are mixed in with a peculiar fragility to the toms and it seems the bell cymbal overpowers it, which works well to give it that calcified in rot vibe I like my sewer doom to have.
Based on the two songs I have heard, I like it a lot. And maybe when the variance between the American to Canadian dollar conversion ceases to fuck my Paypal purchases I will actually buy the album in full and relish in the cankering charm of 'Oil'.

Le Grand Guignol - The Great Maddening (2007)
Ever wash down a few LSD tabs with a couple pints of raw ether and then saunter over to the town carnival like the town drunk? Nah, me either, but I would like to think it's something Hunter S. Thompson would have done. After all, the man was once quoted saying "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro."
The going sure gets weird on "The Great Maddening", more accurately, hysterically demented and soaking in a vat of mescaline, marinating the mania all the more. It's difficult to describe this album without using as much hyperbole as a tween would use when describing his first hand-job to an assemblage of prepubescent seventh-graders keen on hearing the exact recount of the sexual tale, all the while trying to realistically wade through all the bullshit… In all likelihood, the hand-job took place behind a shed, and it lasted a total of 13 seconds while some unfortunate female was fumbling around his Affliction boxers trying to locate his "enormous" erection, which had already been pulsating from seamen-free ejaculation. You see, sometimes you need hyperbole otherwise the true story straddles the line of cringe-worthy like a cowgirl with Cerebral Palsy.
Moving on. Le Grand Guignol were once known by the name of Vindsval back when the band members lived in Luxembourg, playing the same type of absinthe binged avant-garde metal with their heels firmly planted in the grounds of demented and horrific sounding, albeit with a sound less meticulous and well crafted as they were on "The Great Maddening".
I rarely post anything of this ilk on SHOM these days, let alone purposefully listen to it (probably because of all the low grade garage punk I've been stuffing in my ears), but when a song from this album came on while briefly playing my music library on shuffle I was taken to it, it floated my proverbial boat, and I remembered that it's okay if metal isn't always deadpan with frostbitten grimness… Look at early black metal and black metal purists of today's day and age, talk about cringe-worthy.
This album warrants some praise for its well articulated use of eclectic instruments like the xylophone, cello, violin, flutes, harpischords and various other keys, which fully attribute to the obscure atmosphere.

Caveman Cult - Rituals of Savagery [EP] (2014)
Found this sucker buried in my email inbox. Filthy death metal married with feral black metal flowing through the same abscessed vein as Teitanblood, Proclamation, Weregoat, Heresiarch, Archgoat, Wrathprayer, etc.
It is a suitable soundtrack to listen to whilst charging through the gates of Babylon in search for Persian scalps or while you're sitting on the shitter reading your subscription to "Satanist's Quarterly".

I was given the link to the EP by thee dank dudes at WORHT Records, check them out and throw 'em some cash if you are touched by their venerable collection of filthy tunes.

Dark Times - Give (2014)
Really good female-fronted punk from Oslo, Norway. I am not going to dip into the well of platitudes with this one because my hangover requires hydration but I will say this; Dark Times aren't your run of the mill, stripped down punk band… Stripped down yes, but they have a sound to call their own and an eclectic delivery to their sound that frees them from the clutches of "heard this before". It was produced by Pål Bredrup, who also produced Okkultokrati and Haust with that same basement grime charm I've been into lately. This album will fit in with your crusty lifestyle.

Leather Slave - Leather Slave S/T (2014)
"…Then I'll cut off all of your fingers, and then I'll make you try on pairs of gloves… I'm going to pull a knife stunt. And then. I'll cut off both of your ears, so you can't hear what I'm going to do next. And the blood will just run out of your head, like two faucets… I'm going to pull a knife stunt." –
Like any good serial killer or nefarious creature, nobody knows who Leather Slave is, they could be your weird neighbour, or your postman, or the rambling junkie on your street calling every passerby a "handjob and a half!", it's a veil of anonymity that may seem less crucial when compared to the likes of John Wayne Gacy but it is an essential component to the harrowing and seedy vibe of Leather Slave's sound.
A sound that is much less punk and much more looping. But it is still punk, sort of. It sounds like horror-punk because it is scary not because it's content is about b-grade horror movies and Alice Cooper worship. Leather Slave doesn't have a cover of "Monster Mash" and they never fucking will. I promise. This preamble is not a jab at The Misfits, (I like The Misfits more than I could ever love my own children), but it might shed some light on how something actually scary might sound. Unsettling would be the better word to describe it. Seedy and depraved even. Or for you fans of multiple choice, all of the above.
It's impressive because I get the same vile feeling as I do with bands like Meth Drinker, The Body, Impetuous Ritual, or even Canada's beautifully repulsive Revenge would give me although Leather Face are far less abrasive (or extreme) at face value. Instead, the unsettling vibe is manifested through a series of looping sickly riffs and an equally poisoned to the bone style of drumming with singing that isn't singing so much as it is spoken, sounding more like threats and rambling through a telephone more than anything else.
I stumbled on this band via the incredibly good and highly recommended ONGAKUBAKA blog and I scored myself a download link to the album from somewhere else on the deep wide web, and you can too. Otherwise I'd highly suggest buying this fucker, so you can be that cool kid with an obscure record collection nobody will every really see but you wish they would.

Encoffination - Hear Me, O' Death (Sing Thy Wretched Choirs) (2014)
Hear Me, O Death (Sing Thy Wretched Choirs) is aptly named because this album sounds like a heinous funeral march, crawling and plodding much like death itself, scraping away years off your life with each listen. Encoffination have always been about lurching through tracks with a molasses like consistency, moving slower than old people fuck and hitting harder than a dull axe to the face, but this album is exceedingly slower than the rest…
The riffing is slow-cooked in delay and reverb and the vocals are of a brittle guttural secrete, basically gurgling and belching in an almost near death type phlegm coated whisper. It makes me want to clear my fucking throat and bang my head around like an abiding peon of the underdark.
