Earth Re-Releases Latest Album as Double LP Deluxe "Bible" Version; Every Time Southern Lord Puts Out Something Sacrilegious, a Demon Gets Its Wings Equipped with Gigantic Eyeballs
Dylan Carlson, mastermind of drone demigods Earth and hero to that weird guy in your Russian Civ class who wears a hooded cloak on chilly days, ain't afraid to pull a sacrilege or two for the sake of his art. Like his heroes Black Sabbath before him, Carlson loves sticking it to the Christian ascendancy, filling their nightmares with scores of Beelzebubs thrashing baby Jesus with skyscraper-sized hell guitars. Unfortunately, the moral majority has no idea who Dylan Carlson is and probably never will since Christians tend to avoid people in hooded cloaks who aren't monks. Such is their nature, and Satan bless 'em for it!
Like so many other doom metal artists, Carlson's brand of blasphemy is more sacrilege for sacrilege's sake, with the latest addition in this demonstration of desecration being the limited-edition deluxe "biblical" reissue of Earth's early '08 album The Bees Made Honey in the Lion's Skull (TMT Review). What makes it so scriptural, you ask? According to the vile beasties at Southern Lord Records, the gold-colored, 180-gram records come in an "over the top bible-esque tripe gatefold jacket" with a faux leatherette cover and gold embossed lettering. You know, because only one version of the Bible has ever been published, and it is leather-bound and lined with gold-leaf. Dammit, Southern Lord, I know the Christian Bible isn't exactly your thing, but you should at least realize that fake leather and gold embossing does not a Bible look-alike make. At least include some fan-fictionalized version of Acts of the Apostles or something!
Despite a disappointing score on the sacrilege scale, the rest of this package seems pretty cool. Bob Weston of Shellac remastered the audio specifically for vinyl, and the inside pages include art and photographs from dragon and skull painter extraordinaire Arik Roper . The deluxe vinyl release also includes a bonus track, "Junkyard Priest," and if the rest of the album is any indication, this song will most likely rock considerably. Get this album for the music, not the blasphemy.
Make no mistake, our usual morning routine at TMTHQ consists of quickly rifling off and posting a couple of stories of the "Pete Doherty and Amy Winehouse Both OD While Entwined in Blindfolded 69" or "Mildly Interesting Band to Tour" variety before quickly stepping out to sit around, wolf down a couple of these fucking atrocious things, and brag about our previous nights' fabricated conquests (in reality, a quick ass or nut grope in the lineup at the bar). However, if we get a real news nibble, then it's all hands on deck and noses to the grindstone until we hunt-and-peck type ourselves a story that is invariably dull and formulaic (this writer's specialty!). But at least they are timely! For example, if we get a hot tip that Radar Bros. have announced a few December U.S. dates, then it is our sworn duty to crank something out for our readers' enjoyment hasta pronto!
'Tis true. The Radar Bros. have announced some U.S. dates after they complete their current European tour, currently underway and continuing November 11 in the land of chocolate and schwingen, Switzerland. The band now consists of elder bro Jim Putnam alongside two new male siblings: Brian Hussey (bass, vocals) and Stevie Treichel (drums). The Brothers are touring in support of their latest album, Auditorium (TMT Review), released at the beginning of 2008 by matron-like label Merge.

RIP: Miriam Makeba, South African singer
From YouTube:
From Pollstar:
Miriam Makeba, the South African singer who wooed the world with her sultry voice but was banned from her own country for more than 30 years under apartheid, died after collapsing on stage in Italy. She was 76.
In her dazzling career, Makeba performed with musical legends from around the world - jazz maestros Nina Simone and Dizzy Gillespie, Harry Belafonte, Paul Simon - and sang for world leaders such as John F. Kennedy and Nelson Mandela.
"Her haunting melodies gave voice to the pain of exile and dislocation which she felt for 31 long years. At the same time, her music inspired a powerful sense of hope in all of us," Mandela said in a statement.

Six Organs of Admittance to Release Rare Tracks, Then Retreat Back to Nature
A friend of mine once wrote that his first experience seeing Six Organs of Admittance live caused him to believe in things that were obviously untrue. He was convinced, for example, his apartment had a fourth dimension, and he was ready to take a hammer to the bathroom to discover it. This only scratches the surface concerning the mystical power of Six Organs' incandescent, Eastern-tinged, enveloping psychedelic modal noodling. It's barely conceivable what some would do to grip the rarest of Ben Chasny's repertoire. Lucky for us, RTZ curates some of the rarest and some of the best on one priced-to-own brain-burner.
The double disc (or three LP) set collects coveted, rare material, including "Resurrection" from the 6OA/Charlambadies split, one of Chasny's first recordings that was limited to 33 copies (dating back to '99), and some choice live performances. Totally spiritual. It's like finding the arc of the covenant or some shizz.
RTZ drops January 20, 2009 courtesy of Drag City. No tracklist has yet been released, but it's not like you need a tracklist to know that you're going to pick this up.
Little Joy to Tour? Fab!
Ah, The Strokes... America's great white hope to save rock 'n' roll. After one enthusiastic debut album and two less-fresh-but-still-committed follow-ups, the NYC quintet will return to the studio in February to begin recording their follow-up to First Impressions of Earth. In the meantime, the warm stare of the public eye is a hard thing to shake (not to mention worldwide popularity and advances from supermodels and A-list actresses), but so is not following the muse that made you begin playing music in the first place. So, it comes as no surprise that Fabrizio Moretti, like Nikolai Fraiture (Nickel Eye) and Albert Hammond Jr. (solo stuff), has taken a calming walk away from his day-to-day (since it's on hiatus) and is toying around with different kinds of musics.
Moretti is still behind the drums, but has added singing, guitars, piano, and melodica to his performing skills in Little Joy, a junkyard calypso pop project he has created with Rodrigo Amarante (singer/guitarist with Los Hermanos) and Binki Shapiro (an unknown entity to TMT but wethinks she is the steady of Moretti). The trio started their inaugural North American tour a few days ago and will continue to play throughout the continent in November and into the middle of December as they attempt to carve out their own sound and audience unrelated to and unfazed by Moretti's high-profile regular gig. Kinda like Dogstar did.

Study Finds Rate of Booty-Drops Set to Rise Dramatically When Telepathe's Debut LP Is Released This February
Finally, a date for the upcoming Telepathe full-length! Their most recent EP, Chrome's On It, was released this October through IAMSOUND and featured remixes by the indie dance elect, including Mad Decent, Free Blood (ex-!!!), The Mae Shi, Bobby Evans (Brother Reade), and Frankmusik. They've been on the road with Diplo, Abe Vigoda, and Boy 8-Bit -- a tour that I'm sure history will look back on as one of the fall's most bangin'-est, and probably the only tour of 2008 to prominently feature a giant dancing hot dog and party pizza. Now, after playing shows and playin' hoes from Europe to Australia to New Zealand, Dance Mother, the nine-song LP, can finally be unveiled.
Back in late 2007, the all lady lineup checked into Stay Gold Studios with TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek, and only a few nine-or-so months later, in September 2008, the final touches have been successfully laid on. Slated for release February 17, 2008 via IAMSOUND, Dance Mother promises vintage synths, guest vocals from TV on the Radio's Kyp Malone, and !!!'s Shannon Funchess, as well as tons and tons of indie-rock-meets-dub-step, "should I dance to this or just nod my head really emphatically?" jams.
Telepathe's unique, unclassifiable sound has justifiably been getting rave reviews from the likes of Drowned in Sound, Interview, and the Village Voice, and underground buzz has been steadily building. And so, dear readers, if you're too indie rock to shake it like a salt shaker, but too fun to not wanna drop it low once in awhile, I'd like to encourage you to check this band out and find a happy medium.
Note to Telepathe: I know he is not yours, but the next time you tour, please bring the giant pizza. I really think we found something magical, one cold night on a hot dancefloor in Minneapolis.
International Noise Conference Sets Down in Spokane this Weekend
Because we're all about the idea of full disclosure and shameless plugs: the next stop for the International Noise Conference is on November 8 in Spokane, WA and is being curated by Tiny Mix Tapes' very own interviews editor Leveer (real name: Barrington Labiathon Leveery III). He won't cough up any details as to how he assembled the artists for the event but talking to a few of them gave us a good idea about the process and a whole lot of useful info about the man himself. Besides obligatory and painful arm-twisting and cries of "c'mon," he apparently...
- "Sent us flowers."
- "Called a couple of times a day... just to say hello!"
- "Genuinely liked being around our families at holiday dinners."
- "Took an interest in the things we like."
- "Flew in over the weekend to take us out for dinner and dancing."
- "Respected me and all of my weird quirks."
- "Just said the sweetest things!"
- "Talked about taking things slowly because he wants this relationship to be a long-term meaningful one."
- "Drove 6000 miles, through three blizzards and two sandstorms, just to retrieve my favorite scrunchy from the movie theatre where we watched The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2."
Key-rist, what a gent! While Leveer organized the shindig, the International Noise Conference is the brainchild, and features, Rat Bastard, the Laundry Room Squelcher, who has been playing his own brand of chaotic harsh noise at Churchill's in Miami for ages.
The Spokane show will include performances by a host of northwestern noise addicts and will take place at Object Space on Saturday. The show will follow the Conference's strict mandate of "15 minutes or less per act, no laptops, no drones." You can learn all about the INC here.
Earplugs recommended. Feathers optional.

Ryan Adams, a Reasonable Man, Plans American Tour with Oasis, a Group of Sensible Gentlemen, For a Temperate, Exceedingly Composed Trip Completely Free of Big Egos and Even Bigger Drinking Binges. Honest!
In a recent interview with the tastemakers at Rolling Stone, singer, songwriter, and complainer Ryan Adams lamented about a recent comment from former Replacements frontman and far-better-Minnesota-Senatorial-candidate-than-Al-Franken Paul Westerberg, who said, "Someone should knock [the complainer Ryan Adams'] teeth out." Mr. Adams, always glad to oblige the media with his incessant bitching, claimed, "I left home because of things like that. I can't listen to his music again, ever."
Well, Ryan, if positive reinforcement and a criticism-free environment is what you so desperately crave, boy oh boy have you made a strange touring decision! In support of his new album Cardinology (TMT Review), Ryan Adams will be opening for those lugubrious lads from Wankchester Oasis, and if they're known for one thing, it's intense disagreeability! But here's the real cosmic question, ya'll: When two groups of such meteoric assholes collide, will their catastrophic wake leave an unforeseen landscape of gorgeous celestial brilliance Einstein only dared dream of on especially comfortable nights, or will their unholy union surely rain brimstone upon a waiting Earth and bring on the fabled end of days? There's only one way to find out, and that means you'll actually have to buy a ticket for an Oasis concert. Or you could do something much cooler with your time instead, like read a book on pressing flowers or get a head start on your tax return. The choice is yours!

|The bispectral electroencephalogram during modified electroconvulsive therapy under propofol anesthesia: relation with seizure duration and awakening.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20562643 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|IMPLICATION STATEMENT: : Use of the bispectral electroencephalogram during modified electroconvulsive therapy (MECT) under propofol anesthesia was found to be an accurate predictor of seizure duration and awakening. This may have potential clinical implications on therapeutic success and elimination of the undesirable effects associated with this treatment modality.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: : Propofol anesthesia when compared with barbiturates may induce relatively shorter duration seizures during MECT. This study was designed with the intent to test the hypothesis that the bispectral index (BIS) electroencephalogram (EEG) could predict MECT-induced seizure duration and awakening under propofol anesthesia.
METHODS: : Twenty-five patients, between 16 and 60 years of age (American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I or II), underwent a total of 100 MECT sessions (4 sessions each) under propofol anesthesia (1.0 mg/kg) in a prospective, observational study. The BIS was monitored continuously, and average BIS values of each of the 4 sessions of MECT that each patient received were analyzed. Bispectral index values were recorded at T0 (baseline), T1 (before induction), T2 (after propofol), T3 (preictal), T4 (postictal), T5 (awakening), and T6 (1 minute after awakening). Motor seizure duration was measured by isolated forearm technique and electrical seizure duration by BIS EEG.
RESULTS: : The mean preictal BIS was 50 (SD, 14), which was found to have a significant positive correlation (P < 0.01) with motor (r = 0.707) as well as electrical seizure duration (r = 0.736). A significant negative correlation was also found between the preictal BIS value and the time to eye opening (3.53 [SD, 1.8] minutes) (r = -0.397; P < 0.05). Awakening occurred at mean BIS value of 52 (SD, 17) (range, 20-97) during this procedure.
CONCLUSIONS: : The mean pre-ECT BIS values correlate significantly with the durations of both the motor and electrical seizure activity and awakening time under propofol anesthesia. Before extrapolation to daily clinical practice, further large controlled clinical trials need to be done to establish the role of BIS monitoring in predicting seizure duration and awakening time during MECT.

You had demons to kill within you screaming
With a gun loaded with guilt you opened their eyes
Love preys the living and praises the dead
In the heart of our hearts by death we were wed
Bleed well the soul you're about to sell for passion deranged
Kiss and tell, baby we're bleeding well
Bleed well the heart you're about to fail for reasons insane
Kill and tell, baby we're bleeding well'
'In hell
'No love lost under her will', I heard you weeping
And on those words a church was built to keep the pain in
If death is the answer to love's mysteries
Then bleed on my darling to the sound of a dream

Sex, Kids, and the Public Library
Mason, Marilyn Gell, American Libraries
"Sex at the library. News at eleven." Television, talk shows, and newspapers are shouting the message in community after community across the country from Orange County to Boston, from Oklahoma City to Medina, Ohio, from Houston to New York.
They say that public libraries are no longer safe havens for children. They say that ALA has libraries peddling pornography. They say that librarians are unresponsive to the public's concern. They say that something must be done.
The problem is a knotty one. How does a library provide free and open access to the 34 million sites now available worldwide through the Internet without inflaming parents and others in the community concerned about children viewing pictures that most believe are pornographic? It is one thing to fight the Communications Decency Act in court for its obvious legal failings and quite another to confront a room full of enraged parents and elected officials armed with pictures printed off the Internet in a public library.
The legal aspects of pornography on the Internet are outside the purview of this article. I believe that the current position of ALA in its suit challenging the Communications Decency Act is appropriate. What I fear, however, is that we may win in court and lose in the court of public opinion. The very real issues arising from pornography on the Internet are not going to be resolved by the courts; they are going to be resolved by public libraries and public library users. How they are resolved will determine whether public libraries continue to be the most respected (perhaps the only respected) public institution in the country.
In spite of the official ALA position outlined in the Library Bill of Rights and its interpretation on electronic information (AL, Mar. 1996, insert) that there should be free and open access to all library materials for everyone, regardless of age, including material on the Internet, libraries across the country are experimenting with some mechanism for limiting children's access, at least to the seamier sites. Some are using the technological solution of filtering software; others have sought legal sanction by requiring parental approval for children to use the Internet; still others rely on behavioral responses such as making the computer screen public, making the computer screen private, or asking users to desist when viewing offensive images.
The problem with all of the solutions currently available is that none of them work all that well, and many of them are creating additional, unanticipated problems. Current filtering software screens out some material we want left in and leaves in material we want screened out, and suggests to the public that the problem is solved when it is not. Even so, and whatever the official position of ALA on this subject, there is no question in my mind that were filtering software available that reliably filtered out the "adults only" sites without screening out information on sexually transmitted diseases and breast cancer, libraries would leap at the chance to install it.
As for the parental-approval approach, it doesn't take children without their parents' permission long to borrow someone else's card. And having to monitor screens may put library staff in an awkward position.
In the absence of a technological silver bullet, we are struggling to solve a radically new problem with old paradigms. With the Internet we are now offering the public material we have not, and in some instances would not, select. What does censorship mean in this context? What is our real responsibility to children? What is the purpose of the public library - from the public's point of view?
Intellectual freedom is a bedrock issue for libraries. Most of us at one time or another have been called upon to defend a selection decision and are proud of our ability to defend the retention of Judy Blume, J. …

Looking for the best fat burner for women?
Every women wants to look and feel good. It's only natural. Being a healthy weight contributes to this feeling tremendously. Being overweight is not only detrimental to a woman's body, but to her mind as well. Losing weight can be a tough task, especially with the added responsibilities of being a wife, girlfriend, mother, sister, friend and all the regular rigors of life.
So it's really no wonder many women are looking to get a little help in their weight loss goals by using an effective fat burner, which can be a solid strategy as long as you remember that it comes down to utilizing a fat burner alongside an impeccable nutrition plan and healthy exercise habits. A fat burner, alone, will not get the job done.
Combining your fat loss diet and exercise program with one of the top fat burning supplements listed below is a great way to enhance your results and reap the greatest benefits from your hard work.
So what are fat burners?
Fat burners are among the most well known and discussed products in the health and fitness industry. That's not surprising, seeing as how a large percentage of people who get into fitness and exercise are doing so to lose weight. With the western world becoming more and more obese due to increased levels of prosperity and decreased levels of activity, its no wonder these products are flying off the shelves. But what are they exactly?
Fat burning supplements are products designed to be used as a tool in your weight loss journey. To put it simply, they are manufactured with 3 goals in mind:
- They are meant to suppress your appetite
- They increase your levels of energy
- They speed up your metabolism
Keeping the 3 factors above in mind, you can see how a fat burner can come in handy when combined with a proper workout routine and proportioned diet plan that focuses on proper calorie maintenance. The benefits of fat burners are there, you just have to know how to properly utilize them to get the best effects.
Benefiting from a weight loss supplement
Speaking truthfully, a fat burner won't do much for you unless you are working hard to achieve your goals. However, when combined properly with a healthy lifestyle and habits, a fat burner will most definitely increase the results you see and decrease the. What does this mean?
Well, simply put, the secret to weight loss isn't a pill, its dedication, exercise, nutrition and proper maintenance of your caloric intake and output.
The way to weight loss is by taking in less calories than your body needs to maintain it's current weight. Its as simple as that. However, achieving that can be tricky for some people.
That is where exercise and nutrition (and a fat burner) play a role.
Exercising is the best way to burn off calories. Your body uses the energy in calories to do the exercises you choose. Some of the best exercises for losing weight and burning off the most calories are: lifting weights, running, sprinting, swimming, biking, and high intensity interval training.
Dieting and proper nutrition are your secret weapon when it comes to losing weight. This is where you control what you eat, how many calories you eat and when you eat them. Always remember that dieting DOES NOT mean starving yourself. It means creating a meal plan that will keep you full, energized but yet still below your daily maintenance calories. Never try to trick your body or punish it by not eating and worse yet, never eat garbage food. While weight loss is all about calories, eating junk food will ruin your overall health and make you feel like crap.
So where do fat burners come into play?
What will taking a fat burner do for your goals?
Along with boosting your metabolism and increasing the number of calories that your body burns on a daily basis, most fat burners will also provide a considerable boost your energy levels and even help to suppress your appetite. This will keep you from snacking unnecessarily and skipping workouts. Staying energized is vital in losing weight, especially when you realize the amount of work that goes into the task. Being drained is going to lead to you skipping workouts, putting things off and constantly saying "i'll do it tomorrow".
How to use a fat burner
- Follow the instructions on label of the product you buy.
- Consume one dosage when you feel hungriest in a day, and one right before you workout or exercise
- Try not to take it at night, as it does give you an energy boost and can keep you up
- Don't over do it. Give yourself a one week break from using the fat burner every 1-2 months.
- Make sure you are taking in a lot of protein as well, this will build muscle, which will help in burning more calories (your body burns calories to maintain your muscles)
How to make sure a fat burner is effective
- Start by building and keeping healthy habits such as daily exercise
- Formulate a nutrition plan that focuses on caloric maintenance and is designed for weight loss
- Make sure your calories come from healthy foods
- Exercise daily, stay active daily, you don't have to go overboard, but you do need to keep moving
- Throw away the junk food, for good
- Keep track of what you are eating
- Keep track of your workouts, your weight and your fat burner schedule

Wrapping Things Up
So as you can see, there are a variety of fat burning supplements for women and they don't all work by the same mechanisms. However, when utilized properly, they will all help you in achieving goals that you have set for yourself. But keep in mind that it's not going to happen overnight and it's not going to happen if you don't put the work in.
Losing weight is hard, so don't make it harder on yourself by ignoring the fundamentals of weight loss and falling into the bad habits trap. There are many ways to get fat and lazy and stagnant, but there are only a few to lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle.
Healthy nutritional habits and exercise is vital
This is not something a lot of people want to hear, but it's repeated over and over again for a good reason. These two things are the KEY to losing weight. Even the best fat burners available on the market are not going to do much for you if you sit around all day and the only activity do is getting up from the sofa to get a snack from the fridge.
Having healthy nutrition habits and exercising on the regular is not only going to help you lose weight, it's going to help you live a better life altogether. Eating clean, counting calories and keeping your body active are going to get you results, period. Taking a fat burner while doing those things is going to get your results even more quickly. So don't just rely on a fat burner, you have to put the work in for it to work out. Simple as that.
With this in mind you might find it useful to continue further research or speak with a doctor to decide what's the best decision for you. Every person's health, medical history and sensitivities are different so it's important to find out whether or not you should consider taking a fat burning pills. Your doctor will be able to help you with this. While fat burners are not designed to be harmful, like I stated above, everyone's body is different. Also remember that moderation is key. Never allow yourself to become dependent on any of these products and I'd recommend taking a week off for every 3 weeks you use them.

What Happened at the November Board Meeting
For CAA's November Board Meeting, we decided to gather remotely. Our hope was to explore this as an option so that we can recruit board members who may not be able to make it to the CAA community space.
We began with a discussion of the incredible success of our fourth annual Twin Cities Veg Fest. The event attracted about 2,500 people and more food vendors than ever before. We're looking forward to moving the event to a new venue next year as a way to make room for the festival to grow.
We really like the idea of offering an event like the Twin Cities Veg Fest on the U of M campus, though, so we discussed the possibility of holding a small scale version of the festival at the U of M campus during spring semesters. We thought we could encourage U of M students to plan the event during the school year and the event itself could be held outside of Coffman Union, for example, where food trucks could park. Holding the event outside could attract lots of passersby as well.
CAA is working with a new bookkeeper who has transitioned us to new web-based bookkeeping software. This will make the business of keeping up with the finances much easier, since those who need access will be able to log in to the online site rather than make their way into the office.
We ended the meeting by discussing how it went to meet remotely. In the beginning, it was difficult to iron out some minor technological difficulties, but in the end things seemed to go pretty smoothly. We tried using video chat for the first part of the meeting and then we transitioned to a conference call for the second part of the meeting. We found video chat was best.
We've decided that we'll continue with remote board meetings. Our next meeting will take place on Google Hangouts on Monday, January 21 at 6:00pm. Be sure to let us know if you'd like to join in. If interested, email Unny Nambudiripad at email@example.com.
Twin Cities Veg Fest 2015: Truly Amazing!
Our fourth annual Twin Cities Veg Fest happened just a couple days ago, and we're still feeling the excitement. We hope you were able to join us for this event, which was our biggest one yet with an estimate of more than 2,500 attendees.
Check out the slideshow below to get an idea of what the festival included. It's just a glimpse of the many exhibitors, vendors, sponsors, speakers, chefs, volunteers, and attendees who made this year's Twin Cities Veg Fest truly amazing. All of us at Compassionate Action for Animals are grateful to everyone involved. Thank you!
That Kooky Twin Cities Veg Fest Planning Committee
It's no secret: The team behind Twin Cities Veg Fest is a kooky bunch. I mean, they have to be kooky to take on the challenge of putting together a mammoth festival that draws thousands and shows them how freaking awesome vegan food can be. But they do it because they love it. And they do it for the animals. So maybe they're not so kooky as they are extraordinarily compassionate. Here's a bit more about them and why they love Twin Cities Veg Fest so freaking much:
What are you most looking forward to at this year's Twin Cities Veg Fest?
- More space! We can accommodate more people in the exhibitor halls (now we'll have two!) and we have a ton of room for people to come to our cooking demonstrations!
- Working with the exhibitors
- Food, food, and more food. And maybe some food to go with the food. Also, I'm looking forward to seeing people show up and enjoy themselves. And food.
- Every year I look forward to new and interesting food vendors. Word is getting out that Twin Cities Veg Fest is a great place to showcase delicious vegan food (and sell out!) so I hope our food court grows even more.
- Introducing very skeptical omnivores to the wonderfulness that is vegan food. Hearing "Hey, this is good!" is music to my ears.
Can you tell us a little-known fact about another committee member?
- I think Sal looks like the pop star Robyn.
- Unny used to have incredibly long hair, super hippie-style.
- Unny pledged to not read any Harry Potter for ten years, and that kind of makes me want to start reading Harry Potter.
- Dave loves vegan food but not fruit. Weird.
If you could help rescue any animal, who would it be and why?
- I'd like a nonhuman animal to rescue humans from ourselves! I think I'll have a Kneazle rescue us; my friends would appreciate that.
- Any animal is worth rescuing.
- Definitely a pig. Pigs are just too darn cute. On the other hand, I like pretty much all animals, so I'm not picky.
- A chicken! Because I think I could probably care for her or him at home.
- A horse! Or a cow. Or a lamb. Or a goat. Okay, I want to rescue them all.

Eat Like a Million Bucks: Roberto Martin's New Vegan Cooking
If you want to eat like a vegan superstar but can't afford takeout, much less your own personal chef, Roberto's New Vegan Cooking: 125 Easy, Delicious, Real Food Recipes is the book for you. Roberto Martin's collection of recipes spans the gamut from quick and easy to super fancy and dispels the myth that vegans can't eat well on a budget.
Rather than relying on convenience foods like mock meat and dairy, Roberto shows that, with the proper technique and seasonings, wholesome, affordable ingredients such as beans, lentils, tofu, nuts, and mushrooms can be turned into culinary masterpieces. His Eggplant Parm can be perfectly battered and fried up to be crisp and tender with surprisingly no fuss. He shares with the world the magic of besan (garbanzo) flour, a lesser-known vegan wonder food. He uses this for his "lobster" quiche, which was hearty and packed with flavor. Martin graces the reader with treats stemming from his Mexican heritage, such as his tofu soyrizo and a showpiece: Albondigas (the Spanish word for "meatballs") Soup.
Martin does all of this with little to no assistance from pre-packaged, processed foods. He even offers up some of his own recipes for all those little ingredients we love to eat but often hate paying for, like ketchup, sour cream, pickles and other condiments. While some of Martin's recipes may be a bit advanced for the novice plant-based eater, he eases the reader into trying out new things by beginning the book with a chapter of DIY basics, staples, and starters. His fast, cheap, simple recipes for condiments such as vegan mayo and barbecue sauce (which is great since honey-free versions are increasingly hard to find) make these foods suddenly within reach for novices and those with processed-food phobias.
On top of all that, he provides detailed instructions on how to make the perfect flaky, crisp vegan croissants, which could probably convince just about any veg-inclined individual to pick up a copy of Roberto's Vegan Cooking post-haste.

Kenny Feldman Animal Advocate Award
We're pleased to announce the Kenny Feldman Animal Advocate Award!
We've created this award to recognize a person, organization, or business in our community whose amazing work is pushing the ball forward for animals. This year, we're giving the award to The Herbivorous Butcher, our local meat-free butcher shop.
After a few short years of selling their vegan goods at farmer's markets and pop-up events, The Herbivorous Butcher is about to open their own storefront in Northeast Minneapolis. They've already made headlines around the country and world. Here's why: they make incredibly tasty and interesting plant-based "meats," they're opening the first vegan butcher shop on the continent, and they have a fun, creative, and positive approach to their business.
This is exactly what our movement needs: energetic advocates who are creating solutions. As people replace their animal-based foods with Herbivorous Butcher's delectable vegan foods, fewer animals are killed for food. Hooray!
This award honors the memory of animal lover Kenny Feldman. He thought animals should be cared for and allowed to a live a life with freedom. Kenny was a close friend of mine and inspired me to become an activist. Sadly, we lost him to suicide 16 years ago. From that tragic loss, we are moved to establish this annual award to acknowledge the contributions of individuals who strive to create a more compassionate world.
We will present the award at the Twin Cities Veg Fest Pre-Festival Party on October 30.
Bridges of Respect: Balancing Perspectives
Our humane education program, Bridges of Respect, has reached over 800 students so far this year. The program conveys values of respect and compassion for animals. Class time usually allows us about an hour with the students. We showcase a variety of plant-based foods. We also share the stories of our personal transitions to vegetarianism, the pitfalls and the benefits of a plant-based diet, the availability of plant-based foods, and resources for change.
The presentations we offer cover a variety of animal protection topics. Students participate in the presentation, taste vegan food samples, and sometimes take notes for a test or other assignment. We've recently received our first presentation request for the fall semester, and it's from an Animal Management class at Blaine High School.
We first started working with this class last spring. The course explores small animal care and career opportunities. It also has a rights and welfare section that talks extensively about animals that are farmed, vivisected, and hunted. More specifically, it highlights how those practices benefit humanity. When we sat down with the teacher, he told us that he thought that the textbook and lesson plans are very biased in favor of those industries. He was stuck with it though and wanted us to provide another viewpoint. Looking through the materials, we could see what he meant. The textbook would approach each topic with a poorly constructed depiction of the animal rights position in a paragraph or two, and then spend the remaining eight paragraphs defending the use of animals. It also didn't take long for the animal protectionist to be painted with a broad brush stroke — credited with sabotage, property damage, and even terrorism.
Photos in the textbook were provided courtesy of the Farmer's Exchange, the American Farm Bureau Federation, Agriscience, and the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station and represented animal agriculture in the best possible light. The photo depicting veal production, for example, didn't show a calf immobilized and chained by the neck in a wooden stall, as is the case for most calves in the industry. Instead, they were pictured in outdoor pens with sunshine and a mountainscape. The caption reads: "Veal calves are kept in individual stalls so they can receive individual attention. Disease is kept to a minimum and farmers are able to feed and care for the calves more efficiently. The economic welfare of the farmers depends on the proper care and treatment of their animals."
Another photo shows hens in battery cages. These cages are one of the most restrictive of all housing methods used by factory farms. As many as a dozen birds are crammed in a wire cage that measures less than the width of one bird's wing span, but there was no mention of this in the textbook. Here is their description of battery cages: "Laying hens are kept in cages under controlled environments that increase the efficiency of the laying operation. Each hen receives adequate feed and water. Eggs, a valuable part of the diet for many Americans, are available at affordable prices because of the efficiency of these operations." Though it is true that these intensive farming operations produce cheap eggs, the other statements are suspect, especially in light of many undercover investigations that reveal otherwise.
The textbook also tells impressionable students that: "Farming in the United States is not controlled by large corporations. Of the 2.2 million farms in the United States, 97 percent are family-owned and operated; only 7,000 are non-family-controlled operations." Their source for these numbers was dated 1988 and fails to mention that the three percent of farms that aren't small family farms are in fact factory farms and contain the vast majority of animals raised for food.
The teacher wasn't really sure where to go from there, what to say or which videos to use. He wanted to show a more balanced perspective, and that's where we came in.
The teacher allotted time for us to provide three presentations for his students. We shifted the focus to a more moderate view of animal protection with examples of peaceful activism, community building, and personal growth. We also presented a detailed overview of the ways in which animals need our help most. No less than a dozen students, about half of them, hung around after class to speak with the presenters about how to get involved, eat more plant-based foods, find cruelty-free products, and more. We played a variety of films for students, including the Mercy for Animals' eye-opening expose "Farm to Fridge," clips from Peaceable Kingdom, a documentary about the Farm Sanctuary, and a 20/20 Special titled "Almost Human" that focuses on a chimp named Booee who knows sign language but was sold to a lab. We also gave the teacher a Discovery documentary that discusses the emotions of animals. The film, titled Why Dogs Smile and Chimpanzees Cry, resonates powerfully with students. We frequently use clips from it in middle and high schools.
The teacher even has us rewriting some of the handouts to reflect animal protection in a fair light. These handouts are already in use, counteracting the decades-long presence of industry-produced resources designed to protect profits and stifle progress for animals. In this way, they serve the same purpose as the dangerous ag-gag laws aimed at censoring documentation of routine practices in factory farms and slaughterhouses.
The teacher now refers to Bridges of Respect as an important part of his curriculum. We've appreciated the opportunity to meet with these students at Blaine High School for more than three hours and are looking forward to meeting the new students in the fall. To make informed choices, students need all of the information. From what I've seen, students appreciate honesty and will often look for ways to help when they recognize that there is a need. They will make decisions that reflect their values and ultimately make a difference for animals.
What Happened at the August Board Meeting
CAA's August board meeting began with a report from our Executive Director, Unny Nambudiripad, about some recent successful outreach events CAA has been engaged in. We leafleted at the Warped Tour and ran a pay-per-view event at Twin Cities Pride. Unny also reported on CAA's presence at the national Animal Rights Conference in Washington D.C..
As we transition to a new internal website used to plan events and projects, a lingering worry has to do with whether we will be able to export content from this site if we find ourselves needing to make a change down he road. While there is no built in option to do this, it appears that Dave Rolsky (our treasurer) will be able to write a software program that can do this for us. Good thing we have someone with computer programming skills on the board!
We next turned our attention to the complex business of evaluating the effectiveness of our programs. Unny and Justin (our Communications and Events Coordinator) had discussions around these issues with leaders in this area at the Animal Rights Conference. One of the suggestions we look forward taking up was the idea of engaging in dialogue with members of our target audience about how to help them make more compassionate food choices. Once we have good information about those needs, we can tailor our programs to meet them. We also decided to continue making use of existing research (for example, Nick Cooney's excellent book Change of Heart) to inform our outreach and communication efforts.
We revisited the question of board member recruitment and we decided that we will announce opportunities for volunteer board members through the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits. We also decided to explore the possibility of recruiting folks from across the country who work successfully on the kinds of issues that are central to CAA's mission.
Our next board meeting is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, November 5 at 6pm. You should consider being a part of that meeting if you're interested. If you'd like to participate, contact Unny Nambudiripad at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Compassionate Times, August 2015
Opening Hearts, Changing Minds
written by Linda Pope, CAA Volunteer at Twin Cities Pride 2015
My 13 year old son and I were among the many CAA volunteers and staff working the pay-per-view table this June at the Twin Cities Pride Festival. We offered attendees one dollar to watch a short segment of the documentary, Farm to Fridge.
It was a very successful event in that 540 attendees watched the video. One reason we were able to reach so many people was because volunteers had multiple tablets set up for viewing, and they were continuously in use.
In between viewings, we had many heartfelt conversations with viewers and other attendees who were curious or wanted to learn more about the disconnect between what happens on factory farms and industry's heavily funded efforts to manipulate the public's understanding of factory farming. Others were eager to share that they were vegetarian or vegan too. Some people simply thanked us for what we were doing.
Animal Rights National Conference 2015: Inspiration and Fun
Two staff members and four volunteers from Compassionate Action for Animals (CAA) traveled to Washington D.C. earlier this month for the Animal Rights National Conference. Over the course of four days, we got to experience all that this annual conference has to offer, including a variety of inspiring presentations, lots of delicious vegan food, dozens of exhibitors, and the opportunity to network with others who advocate for animals.
As CAA's Executive Director, I gave a talk about how to plan a veg fest. Referring to our guide to plan a festival, I showed others how they can start a festival in their own city. I also helped organize a lunch for veg fest planners from around the continent. Dozens of festivals were represented, and we were able to share our experiences so that we can improve the quality of festivals everywhere. We're undertaking this collaboration to ensure that our own Twin Cities Veg Fest can have the biggest impact for the animals. It's also great to share what we've learned, to help other festivals overcome their obstacles. Collectively, these festivals can make a big difference for animals, reaching hundreds of thousands of people and showing them how fun and meaningful compassionate living can be.
CAA volunteer and co-founder Dave Rolsky gave a talk about how to use collaborative technology to run an animal advocacy organization. Dave is a professional software developer, and his experience includes making user-friendly websites. He's an expert on the variety of simple and useful online tools to get our work done, and he was able to share his technical know-how at the conference.
While our participation in the conference was exciting, so was witnessing the state of the Animal Rights movement. This year's conference was the largest one yet, with more than 1,600 attendees. It's also exciting to see how strategic, results-oriented farmed animal advocacy organizations are growing, and we were able to develop meaningful relationships with activists around the country that will help us do our work. These activists are creating videos about factory farming, publishing leaflets, and conducting research on how to make our movement more effective.
Following the conference, I took a trip to Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary where I got to spend the day meeting rescued animals. It was perhaps the most inspiring part of my trip, getting to see the life behind the eyes of these animals, my reason for being on this path and for speaking up for their right to be free. I've returned to Minnesota feeling motivated to bring what I've learned to our Twin Cities community, to strengthen our group, to get our message out there, and to make a difference for the animals that still need our help.

from the little details that i noticed one of witch is the flags you first see at the tower that has 4 little details ;titan, hunter, and wizard. but there is another that i don't reckonise.
Jwodie7/22/2014 7:37:43 PM PermalinkI've no doubt eventually they will add a fourth.but to do so they would likely add a fourth power element as well.. so if they are going to do all of that.. it'll likely be in a future installment of the game
Doc SoCal7/22/2014 7:36:18 PM PermalinkIt seems there are subclasses for each class so 6 variations that I know of so far.
TheDrunkenJester7/22/2014 8:06:08 PM PermalinkThere is a good chance they could, but most likely in an expansion.
subj3ct187/22/2014 8:03:29 PM Permalinki may have answered my question but still a interesting topic no doubt. but i read up on a vanguard class. and plus one of the bounties for the iron banner says to play as the vanguard class.

Well... this is what i want to do. I have a class library project into my solution. Into it i have a class.
I want that class to be instantiated as soon as the solution starts. So it can be accesible from the other projects in the solution like this:
Is there any way to do that? or something close to that?
Any ideas? Thanks for helping
EDIT: I previously posted some way around i found but didn't actually worked... so i still have no way around this.
EDIT2: What i was trying to do is to get an instance of an object shared between all the projects of my solution. Diggin a little more, i realised that i should implement some kind of memory sharing between processes right?
