We're going to Hawaii...with NO kids! Would you?
Would I go? No. No way I could leave my kids for that long, much less be that far away from them. I think for me if I need to focus more on our marriage there are things we could do that wouldn't take us across an ocean without our kids to do that. And really I'm fine with family trips anyhow. I don't need that much alone time with DH. We had a lot of that prior to kids and will have plenty more when they are older.
GO go go!!! We left for 10 days when LO was 6 months old. The trip was already planned and couldn't bring the 6 month old on this specific cruise line. We missed him like crazy but we had so much fun! He spent an awesome week with his Nana and they had a ton of fun.
We then left for 5 days in June to go to Montreal. It was great.
If you need to have alone time with DH - then do it!
Please help me win a wedding contest! Please vote for Melissa & Bernie
heck yes i would go.
we would be going somewhere alone if I wasn't due in dec! but we will be going away when our newest is around 1,
no I dont think parents should take off and leave kids all the time, but every once in a while most def!
♥I'd like to be the ideal mother, but I'm too busy raising my kids ♥
I am surprised by how many people would be fine leaving their kids for a week, even older kids. I can see going for a couple nights, but an entire week seems like a lot. Being away from DH for 7 days would be hard enough, but there is no way I could be away from DD by choice. Obviously sometimes there is no choice (deployments, illness, etc), but I could never choose to be away from her for the long.
This is coming from a FTM/SAHM mom who has never left LO for more than a few hours once I came home from the hospital (I had to stay 7 days after DD was released). I probably hover toward the end of helicopter parent, so it's no surprise that I would never take a vacation without LO. We worked hard to get her here, and she makes everything in life better. If DH and I needed more time together, I'm sure we could find it a lot closer to home and for less time away from DD.
Me (30) DH (33) Married 6 years
DD age 3
I would absolutely go! I actually think its best to go away now when they are too little to really remember. In fact, DH and I are going to the caribbean for one week in October and leaving LO with MIL and FIL! I spoke to two of my friends who have both gone away without their little children, and both said that while they missed their LO's terribly, it was rejuvenating and relaxing and they would defintely do it again. Dont get me wrong, I have anxiety about leaving LO, but I also just cant wait to sleep in a bit!
Yes - I would go. My husband and I went to Mexico when LO was 7 months old. She stayed with his parents at our house, with my parents and my sister as backups, if needed. It was difficult for me to 'allow' myself to do it - and I wouldn't have planned it - but he surprised me with everything already booked and set up with our parents, etc. He said we definitely needed the time with all that we had been through with her birth, etc...and my doctor applauded our decision. Said yes it's tough to decide to go but it was best for our circumstances.
We did hurry up and finish our will, etc before we went - and made sure to have a temporary guardianship for LO, should anything happen. Everything was great - grandma and grandpa had a blast with her and we enjoyed ourselves immensely.
Go, be merry and enjoy!
Hell yes I'd go. Im always ready and willing to pawn my kids off to my family. Moms and Dads NEED breaks and time alone together.
Yes yes and I AM GOING TOO!!!!! I've had the trip planned since my son was 4 months old... it's for my husbands best friends wedding. We leave on my son's 1st bday and return a week later. I'm having major guilt about being gone on his first bday, but I know he doesn't know any different.
My sisters always play it up that "mommy and daddy need time alone" and that the kids are having an "extra special vacation with grandma and grandpa". Since my son is 1 - we'll just Facetime and he probably will barely notice I'm gone! hahaha! He'll be with my sister, BIL and her 3 boys - so he will be spoiled like no other!

Let the Movement Sluff Ski loose to flow down the mountain, but grab some bandages first because the composite wood core will, without doubt, light your ass on fire. Snappy okume poplar comprises the bulk of the core, and rock-solid beech composite PowerRails run down the inside of each edge for extra responsiveness and power. A 99mm waist stomps out landings in the deep and remains nimble enough to carve up bumps, choppy crud, and crusty hardpack.
- CTS sidewall design provides durability and uses multi-angle fiberglass construction to eliminate torsional flex and maintain edge-hold
- Tri-axial stringers stretch from tip to tail to give you snappy responsiveness for quickly flicking turns from edge to edge
- A CTS PowerRail sidewall drives power to the edges for the occasional icy death turns back to the tram

Never wanted to say this, but I like it stiff!
These are my new goTo ski for everything. I only wander through the grooms to get to A and B, and when I do I'm in GS mode. They handle big lines on ice like a longer GS ski. As far as what I ski-- they rock-- wide enough for pow, and stiff enough for aggressive steeps and medium drops (up to 12 feet). I don't really hit anything larger. Anyway, they are so nimble with this turn radius that even hitting moguls is a joy. I love the quick transfers for the trees too. I really love them and am so happy to have done the research before adding them to my quiver. Movement makes a real quality ski. If you like big lines, then go Goliath (even though these work well here too). If you are looking for a pow only then hit the flyswatter, but for an everything all ski, this is my new favorite!
As a follow up. I just added another movement ski and ditched the idea for the swatter... Going with the Super Turbo. Rear rocker does not help me landing any drops. I have found that the added stability of a rear traditional and the reversed camber in the Super Turbo, in conjunction with a front rocker is the choice for a fatter ski over the sluff. Still have the sluff, and love it!

Considering getting a pair but unsure about...
Considering getting a pair but unsure about length. Currently skiing tele on Atomic Snoop Daddys (122-88-109), 163 cm. I'm 5'7", 165 lb. I ski on and off piste, moderately difficult stuff, bumps, not terribly aggressive but planning to ski harder stuff with time. My skis, though fun, feel a tad short, so I was considering increasing length to about 175 cm, but see several skiers settling on the Sluff in 184 cm as standard and the 174 cm as "for the girls." Any suggestions?
My son and I both demo'd the Movement skis in Aosta in December 2010. His 169cm, mine 177cm. I am 5'10" an expert skier and ski everywhere. Our 7 magical days of powder where punctuated by these amazing skis although, I would not have wanted any longer and my son elevated his abilities to keep pace with me. If I can find 177's I will definitely add them to my quiver! Good luck!
If you are aggressive, and want added speed and longer turns, then the 184 is more to your billing. From what I'm reading, because you aren't terribly aggressive (and because of your size), the 174 sounds like the better option. 174 isn't for the girls, it's a size geared for you. I'm 5'10 and heavier- 175lbs, and I ski the 184, but debated on the Goliaths for the extra length. I'm very happy with my pair, but then again I am an aggressive skier.

Accutane as a teen. Bad pregnancy acne now!

I never used accutane. But my skin does break out during pregnency. That is actually how I knew I was pregnant this time around. People think that is silly, but I got a pimple and I knew right away! My doctor just prescribed something for me, not sure of the name. I have not picked it up yet, she said it is a gel.

Light breakouts this first pregnancy...
I used accutane as a teenager as well and it worked wonders for me. Though basically as soon as I was off of it I was on the pill. And when I went off the pill, before even getting pregnant, I broke out, whole face and chest and it hasn't let up since being pregnant. Stragely this did NOT happen with my first pregnancy..........it sucks.

The latest releases include the 2008 L'Hereu. It offers up an expressive minerality along with notions of brioche, spring flowers, and white fruits. Mouth-filling and elegant, it delivers excellent value for the money.
Light gold. High-pitched and precise on the nose and in the mouth, offering lively citrus zest, pear, floral and herbal qualities. Dry and silky in texture, showing very good depth and energy. Closes clean and nervy, with noteworthy cut and floral-driven persistence.
Produced from nearly 100% estate, biodynamically grown Parellada, Macabeo and Xarel-Lo, this just may be the classiest, best made brut Cava currently on the market. From their variety of calcareous clay terroirs, to the careful harvesting and proximity of their gravity flow winery, both the quality of raw material and oenological know-how are abundant at this terrific estate. There is a very tiny dosage, less than 6g/l, and the overall impression here is of a very mineral, clearly delineated, chiseled sparkling wine that is truly first rate. When you taste this wine, you will see why some of Spain's best michelin three stars such as El Bulli and Arzak continue to feature this terrific Cava.

Rosy Rosenthal
Rosy Rosenthal was a smalltime gambler in Manhattan who was killed just outside the Metropole Hotel in July of 1912. Gatsby, Nick, and Wolfshiem go on to comment about the proceedings of the Becker-Rosenthal murder case in the following lines. The reader is able to get the general idea of the case from this conversation, but I found a very good blog about this event, and the author even ties it in with the context of the Great Gatsby.

Mediterranean Tuna Sandwich
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 0 mins
My boyfriend's mother prepared this for us on holiday... I don't normally like canned-tuna, but the layer of fresh flavors that break through in this sandwich are outstanding! I've never measured the ingredients when I've made this, so these are all approximations. Fresh bread and tomatoes are a must!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil
- 1⁄2 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 red onion, sliced very thinly
- 1 can tuna
- capers
- sliced kalamata olive, to taste
- 1 fresh tomatoes, sliced 1/4-inch thick (or several cherry tomatoes)
- leafy greens (romaine hearts or spinach work well)
- fresh bread (I use italian, cut on the slant)
- Using a small bowl, mix olive oil and red wine vinegar together.
- Place onions in mixture and let marinate while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- When ready, set out bottom slice of bread, drizzle thinly with the oil-vinegar mixture, and layer onions.
- Follow with capers and olives, tuna, tomato, leaf green, drizzled lightly with oil-vinegar mixture and top slice of bread.
- Squish everything together and let sit for a few minutes while you clean up, bring plenty of napkins, this is one messy sandwich!
Most Helpful
This was excellent. The only difference is I used fresh tuna instead of canned, but I doubt that will make a big difference.
pretty good sandwich. the vinegar mixture really compliments the flavors of the rest of the ingredients. next time i think i'll skip the capers and add some cheese.
Had this the other day for lunch and it was outstanding! A very good combinations of flavours. The only change I made was to add some toasted pine nuts for texture. Oh, I also hollowed out some of the soft bread to make a "pocket" for the filling. Little less messy that way, and I add the bread to my ongoing breadcrumb collection.

Hard to find anything similar in Finland. Gets expensive to buy such a basic thing ...from the other side of the world almost. Grazy, grazy world. But otherwise, a nice suprise. Did not know this exists even, until we heard of iHerb.
The BEST ghee we've had.

Really first-rate! Beautiful, smooth texture, excellent mellow buttery flavour, guarantees no casein (a huge bonus for us!) and made from pastured cow's milk. And organic. But the high quality of this ghee really surprised me. I've been using a different brand of pastured, organic ghee, and had no idea that such a delicious, aromatic, pure ghee even existed until I tried this. I really could not say enough good things about it. I had intended to use it for only a certain purpose, but have found that I am adding it to a lot more, and will have to order a lot more, more frequently!
Just right, Ghee!

This organic Ghee is a staple in my kitchen. I have been using it for several years now. It is one of the few fats that I use for cooking(avoiding the nasties of chemical extracted oils), and adds a nice buttery taste. Also good for making popcorn in my microwave popper. The most important use for us is as a healthy fat ingredient added to my pets' raw food diet. An added bonus is the nice, sleek heavy jars. I save all the jars for storing herbs, spices, sprouting seeds, carob nibs, what-have-you.

I recently moved and did not have a source for inexpensive ghee until I found it here. It is really delicious! I mix it in with lentils, vegetables, rice and spices for a vegetarian lunch.
Ghee is great alternative to butter: lactose & casein-free

Posted by 5566367537699191179 on Jan 28, 2015
I have a long-standing issue with dairy & digestion, but love the taste of butter. This Ghee, a kind of purified butter, that has removed lactose & casein is the perfect substitute. It spread easily, needs no refrigeration and tastes great. Good high temp cooking is good, too. I used to buy it at the local health food store, but it was much more pricey. Try this, once, yo'll be hooked!

Entries tagged with: black metal
Thurston Moore at FFF 2013 (more by Tim Griffin)
Last month, Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore called black metal "music made by pussies of the lowest order" and now in a new Rolling Stone interview, he's further discussed the comment:
Were you trying to be provocative?(For the record, yes it was taken out of context... by being the only quote provided in Thurston Moore's press release.) The interview continues:
That was really taken out of context. It was really funny how people got tweaked by that. I was answering a question. How do you answer a question about black metal? Black metal, it doesn't even consider itself music. In fact, it doesn't want to be confused with any kind of music because it's something else entirely. It's a voided concept from its start [laughs]. It's all about complete disintegration of existence. It's a music that uses the elements of rock instrumentation but it's so anti-everything that, for me, it doesn't matter what you say about it because it doesn't exist. I figured I would just write something ridiculous about it. And boy, did black-metal devotees get really upset by it. You're not supposed to be alive, so why are you getting upset?
Earlier this year, you played on a black metal album, Twilight's III: Beneath Trident's Tomb. What did you take from that experience?The Thurston Moore Band (featuring Sonic Youth's Steve Shelly, My Bloody Valentine's Deb Googe, and James Sedwards) will bring their tour to NYC on October 21 at Saint Vitus (tickets) and October 26 at Rough Trade (sold out). Both shows are with PCPC, the new collaborative project of Parquet Courts and PC Worship.
There are certain stylistic maneuvers within black metal that really informed me as a guitarist and I use in my own playing. And I think some of the people who are seriously involved with that scene realized this about me and reached out to me. That's certainly true of Neil [who records as "Imperial"] from Krieg, who sings on Twilight. He's a true black metal aficionado and devotee and he's a real important exponent of that music, and he reached out to me and wanted to know if I would take part in this project. And I think it was a little bit of a risk for those guys having somebody who's not exactly 100 percent in the scene to get involved. But I think they trusted my integrity with it.
Sonic Youth once recorded a song titled "Non-Metal Dude Wearing Metal Tee."
And as somebody else said, "Sonic Youth had a song called 'Satan Is Boring' - he's been attacking our lord ever since the Eighties!" I super enjoyed making that record. That's a wild community. It takes a lot of stamina to keep up with those guys because they're monsters.
In related news, Thurston Moore's Twilight bandmate Blake Judd's heroin addition saga continues.
Despite being notorious for stealing and screwing people over (and even going to jail for it), people continue to work with Nachtmystium's Blake Judd (also of Twilight, Krieg, and Hate Meditation). Last week Century Media released an unfortunate, but noble statement saying they will send records to anyone who got scammed by Blake's recent, fake, direct pre-order for the new Nachtmystium record ("the last album NACHTMYSTIUM has with Century Media Records"). Blake is known for never sending people orders, but yet he found more people to send him money. Read that statement in full below.
Now, Blake's long-time friend and bandmate Neill Jameson (Krieg, Twilight) has also had enough and wants the world to know his full story. It's a long, sad tale of being screwed over by a heroin addict again and again and again and again. It paints Blake as an even bigger liar and scumbag than the public knew. The whole thing is at Noisey. Here's an excerpt:
"I decided to do the third Twilight record [with Blake] simply because of the other musicians in the band. By this point, I was fed up with the Blake-circus-shitshow but went ahead anyway. The night before I was to fly out to record Blake called me in tears. He told me that the money that was sent to cover my expenses and my cut of the publishing advance (totaling around $1500) was gone. He told me that his wife had left him (no shit, Helen Keller saw that coming) after they got into a fight; He threw her and she broke her leg in several places. When he took her to the hospital they would only accept cash because they didn't have insurance. He fucking sobbed and said everyone in Chicago wanted to kill him and he couldn't leave his house and he hoped I didn't hate him. What the fuck was I supposed to do? I already had paid for the flight and was in the hole from the "tour" a few weeks before."Twilight is/was a supergroup that featured Blake and Neill along with Thurston Moore, Aaron Turner, Jef Whitehead (Leviathan), Stavros Giannopoulos (The Atlas Moth), and more. No wonder Thurston said black metal is "music made by pussies of the lowest order".

Just yesterday (8/20), Thurston Moore detailed his new album, The Best Day, which was recorded with his new band -- his Sonic Youth bandmate Steve Shelley, My Bloody Valentine's Deb Googe, and James Sedwards. Now he's announced another new LP, this one with Caught on Tape, his avant-garde collaborative project with John Moloney who he played with in Chelsea Light Moving. The album's called Full Bleed, is due out October 21 via Nothern Spy, and while no music has been released from it yet, the press release did come with this gem of a quote:
Q: How did playing black metal rub off on you for Full Bleed? It certainly sounds like it may have.Well there you have it. Watch a live video of Caught On Tape from 2012 below...
Thurston Moore: Black Metal is music made by pussies of the lowest order, and we felt it was necessary to investigate this aberrant anti-music behaviour. We feel like the sound and attitude of black metal is a loss of self, life, light and desire in a way where it becomes so negative that a whole new bliss arrives where we become super pussy.

"There has been booze, puke, fake blood, ill-advised hook-ups, and plenty of destructive black metal. And though [on Monday it competed] with another large show (across the East River, Agalloch and Jex Thoth), Martyrdoom's fourth of five nights [was] packed with sweat-stained misanthropes ready to eviscerate their Monday." [IO]The third-annual, five-night metal fest Martyrdoom came to a close at Saint Vitus in Brooklyn last night (7/1). Our coverage so far includes a review and pictures from Monday at Invisible Oranges (Cult of Fire, Sargeist, Witchblood, Hexer), and a set of pictures from Sunday right here in this post (Heskeri, Prosanctus Inferi, Hell Militia, and Behexen). The rest is on the way.
Finnish black metal bands Sargeist and Behexen are now on tour around the United States, with Sargeist in Austin tonight (7/2) (Behexen played there last night). Both bands will be in Chicago this weekend.
Stay tuned for more. Read the review of Day 4 at IO. More pictures from Day 3 below...

Unnerving noise/black metal destroyers Total Occultic Mechanical Blasphemy have been added to the Watain and Kosmodemonic show on June 15 at Brooklyn Bazaar (tickets). The Pennsylvanian project -- membership: No One -- will be playing a live set of material culled from the recently released Pennhurst / Xesse compilation that collected various demos and and EPs. T.O.M.B.'s nightmarish noise assault will also be sprayed across another LP in 2014. Titled Fury Nocturnous, the full-length will feature contributions from members of Mayhem. A label and a release date have yet to be announced. You can check out the full stream of Pennhurst / Xesse and a Fury Nocturnous teaser below.
Speaking of Watain, Invisible Oranges posted an interview with singer Erik Danielsson. In the piece, interviewer Jonathan Dick got Erik to open up regarding the latest round of black metal controversy:
Black metal will always be surrounded by controversy. It evokes energies. It thrives upon powers that are counteractive to what people view as law and order and ethics and so on. What I do need to underline here, because here is where people get it wrong: one of the greatest evils that people today know, be it an alternative culture or in conservative government halls, is Nazi Germany and Anti-Semitists and all of that. That is the one thing you cannot glorify.Erik also talked about his upcoming Brooklyn performance that will feature all of the pyrotechnics and theatrics that American fans haven't been able to see before:
There's a need to set that up in the US in that medium, and for a long time we've been quite frustrated about not being able to present the whole show there and actually show our US fans, who are some of the most diehard fans that we have, the actual show that we do. I cannot say at this point whether or not it's going to be an exact setup similar to the ones we have in Europe, but it's definitely going to contain elements of a quite severe nature that haven't been possible to use yet in the States. I actually cannot wait. It's gonna be a really good and fucking powerful show, I think.Tickets are still on sale and we have a few pairs you can win for free! For details on how to enter our contest, check below.

Black metal band Inquisition deny being racist in rambling interview that will infuriate nazis & non-nazis alike
Inquisition @ Irving Plaza (more by Caroline Harrison)
Here's a sample of what Jason "Dagon" Weirbach of Inquisition says to Decibel in a new interview:
And yes, [my 88MM side project] is what people--to a certain degree--think, but it's not a white power, Nazi... nothing. I thought, "Well, shit." One day I was watching, I think it was a documentary or I was reading books, you know, on all kinds of old military weaponry, and thought, "Whoa, 88 millimeter. Yeah. That's, like, perfect. It's like Mz.412's kind of style of name." And it's a brutal name, you know? That's exactly what it was. I mean, yes, it did cross my mind [that the number 88 has gone onto have significance in the neo-Nazi community in terms of a code for a "Heil Hitler"]. I thought, "Oh shit," about the 88 thing and what are people gonna think. And I thought, when it comes... I'm a purist in art, man, and I thought, "Well, I'm not gonna just cancel the idea because a few people might think, 'Oh wait, that might be...'" No. Because it's 88 millimeter.About working with Antichrist Kramer:
And I'll repeat it: He is not a white supremacist. He has worked with Nyogthaeblisz, which is a Mexican-American black metal somewhat noise project. They're not noise, but it's a very extreme black metal. He works with Black Witchery, where the singer is half-Colombian like myself. He's great friends with them. Uh, he was friends with Blasphemy. Blasphemy has an African-American, we all know about him, the guitar player, he's a great guy. And I mean, you know, he's not a white supremacist. What bothers me is that you can tell people all you want about Kramer not being white supremacist--they don't want to believe it. Because they think that some white supremacists have the ability to be friends with other racists, but still have their own beliefs. But that's not truly white supremacy, man. It is not.Read the whole interview at Decibel which was a reaction to an article at Metal Injection which was inspired by a blog post at shamelessnavelgazing which included a slight criticism of an interview at our own metal blog Invisible Oranges where we do question Dagon about Inquisition's song "Crush the Jewish Prophet", but don't push him harder after he responded like this:
Jesus was Jewish according to the know-it-all people. How that is offensive? I don't know. Not too surprising that the word "Jewish" hits some nerves though, like "don't go there, go anywhere but there." "Crush the Black Prophet" would not have sat well, "Crush the White Prophet" would definitely be questionable. The original title makes sense.Racist? In the closet racist? Not racist? Ex-racist that won't admit being racist? Just trying to be extreme? "Extreme" is no excuse for racism? What do you think?
What is ironic is that some argue that he was not a prophet at all, rather God himself. The followers can't even agree at times which of the two he was: God or a prophet. Confusion. Just like confusion in our scene: people want their music extreme with this vicious edge but they raise red flags if something seems to be going in a particular direction that may be hitting home.
In the future, making statements of any kind is always possible. I have been told that speaking your mind is respectable. When a band plays it safe all the time, you can't help but wonder if some people have forgotten what Metal is about.
Inquisition recently played Irving Plaza as part of the Metal Alliance tour, which also brought them to Brooklyn for an EASTER show at Saint Vitus with tourmates Goatwhore, 1349, Inquisition, & Black Crown Initiate. Behemoth are also on the tour with ends in Seattle this weekend, but only played Irving in NYC.

The Bangkok Post reports that Thai black metal musician Samong Traisattha, also known as Avaejee, of Surrender of Divinity and Zygoatsis was stabbed to death last Wednesday, January 8, at his home in Bangkok. He was 36. The alleged murderer, Prakarn Harnphanbusakorn, was a fan who had come over to Samong's home to have shirts screen-printed and drink with Samong, according to Samong's widow, Jaruvan Surapol. Jaruvan says she left the room where Samong and Prakarn were drinking to put her child to bed and that when she came back she found Samong in a pool of blood and Prakarn gone. Police believe the two men argued before Samong was stabbed and are looking for Prakarn.
Following the crime, a Facebook user named Maleficent Meditation, whom police believe to be Prakarn, took credit for the murder. In a rambling post on the profile (also hindered by a presumably poor translation by Bing), Maleficent Meditation claims to have killed Samong for not being a true Satanist. The Bangkok Post offered a better translation:
"I have intended to end my life since I was 25. Because I'll die eventually, I want to drag down those who tarnish Satanism with me. But I refrained from killing women and children," he wrote.Another since-deleted post on Maleficent Meditation's page showed very gruesome (NSFW) images of the murder scene. We don't recommend looking at them, but they're still on MetalSucks. In the alleged confession, Maleficent Meditation claims to have stabbed Samong more than 30 times while Samong pleaded for mercy. Maleficent Meditation also claims to have not been a fan of Samong's music, and asked people not to compare the murder of Samong to the murders of other famous people, specifically John Lennon.
"In my view, I have more respect for devoted Buddhists, Christians and Muslims than those who call themselves Satanists without knowing anything about it," he wrote. "If I did not kill him, I'm sure he would be murdered by someone else later."
Surrender of Divinity and Zygoatsis have both posted memorials on their Facebook pages. Zygoatsis has a forthcoming split with Canada's Necroholocaust.

Death and black metal don't often intersect with children's literature, but oh, what glories when they do. Most Americans probably aren't familiar with the Czech illustrator Helena Zmatlíková, but seeing her work in kids' books is evidently a universal experience for children growing up in her homeland. Fortunately, you don't need to be familiar with the original illustrations to appreciate the awesomeness of the following images. Some wiseass Czech metalheads have paired a bunch of Zmatlíková's paintings with logos and titles from well-known metal albums to absurd/hilarious effect. According to the über-kvlt Nuclear War Now! forum thread that dug the pics up, one of the culprits is both a member of the black metal band Umbrtka and a writer for the Czech version of Maxim. Umbrtka have released 17 albums over the last 13 years, including one called Melša - Frank Zappa Meets Darkthrone, which is pretty impressive in its own right.
Check out more of these below, and the rest over at Deathmetal.org. (The Satyricon one is my personal favorite.)

Brazil black thrashing maniacs Sarcofago are a band that, to extreme metal fans at least, warrants no introduction. To bring the rest of you up to speed: formed in 1985 when the members were still in their teens, the band went on to release a handful of classic albums (perhaps most famously 1987's I.N.R.I.) and serve as a gigantic influence on black metal's sound, aesthetics, and attitude. Their last official release, the Crust EP, was released back in 2000, and since then, things have been quiet in the Sarcofago camp. When news began to circulate that an officially-sanctioned reissue of 1995's seminal compilation Decade of Decay was due to be released in North America by Greyhaze Records (in association with Cogumelo), it was, to say the least, a big fucking deal.
When Wagner Antichrist, founding member and legend in his own right, agreed to do an interview, it was (to me at least) an even bigger fucking deal. Check out a few choice words (and more Sarcofago news!) from the man himself below.

Weapon at Rites of Darkness 2011 (more by Fred Pessaro // BBG)
Canadian black metal horde Weapon have made a few major transitions of late, moving from a staunchly independent black metal label (The Ajna Offensive) to one of the bigger labels in the genre (Relapse) and taking their show from recording-only to full-on tour mode. The occasion? The release of their third LP, Embers and Revelations, due on October 9th. Stream the new song "Vanguard Of The Morning Star," which we're premiering below, and you can order your copy at Relapse.
Weapon see these transitions as opportunites (as they should) and as such, we cornered the creative mind behind Weapon, Vetis Monarch, for a few interview questions which you can read below.
Don't forget that Weapon will be in NYC on 11/19 at Saint Vitus with Nachtmystium and Jarboe. Tickets are still available.

Inferno Festival 2012 -- night 4 pics & review (One Tail One Head, Svarttjern, Throne of Katarsis & more)
BBG is back in Oslo, this time for Inferno. Here's what he's catching at the Norwegian metal festival...
by BBG
One Tail One Head @ Inferno Fest
There's no way to put it nicely. My final day at Inferno Festival was an extremely up and down affair. Thumbs down to the bloated and overthought bands that had polished themselves and dulled their edges. But a big thumbs up goes out to the "true Norwegian Black Metal" hordes that stood out by delivering laser-precise performances at their corpse painted, blood-soaked, and firebreathing best.
Coming onto a stage lit by candelabra, accompanied by a fire-breather and adorned with animal skulls (shocker: they were actually the first and only band to do so at the fest!), Throne of Katarsis played a killer set of blasting old school black metal with some doomy breakdowns. The corpse painted quartet were the first band on the main stage and though the turnout was small, it was positively worth getting to the venue early for.
Svarttjern was next on the John Dee stage, a band cut from a similar cloth as Throne of Katarsis, but with less breaks in between blasts... a relentless full on assault. The band came on stage covered with blood and in full corpse painted glory, complete with both the beastial inhuman growls, and the uniquely black metal "deer in headlights" looks at the audience. Theatrical yet never campy, and totally fun.
Einherjer, a pagan-y viking metal band that helped pave the way for much of the genre (along with names like Enslaved and many others), was next on the main stage. 99% of the time pagan-metal & viking metal gets the gas face, and live I found it even more repellent. As I type this, my laptop keeps wanting to autocorrect their name as Winger... coincidence?
Ancient Wisdom was next up on John Dee, playing their pagan style folk influenced by bands like Death in June. Outside of those clad with the hellion skull, manson's face, or some other holy terror indicator like Vegas, it seemed like a lot of the metal crowd didn't quite "get it", a sentiment I also heard a few times when they toured North America with Ghost. Regardless of the overall temperature of the room, I found the music to be interesting but the vocals didnt seem to fit in.
My losing streak continued with Decapitated, the Polish metal band that rebuilt itself after a horrid accident a few years ago, and Monolith Death Cult, a long-winded death metal band with technical tendencies but very little to offer in the good riffs department. Decapitated has definitely crafted their live show to a fine point and the foursome handled the stage well. I'm just not a fan of the chugga-chugga-squeal-style of tech death. Witchery, the "supergroup" made up of ex-members fo Brujeria, Arch Enemy, Mercyful Fate, Dismember, Opeth, The Haunted and more, were similarly not my cup of tea but knew how to handle the stage and kept it interesting.
Then came One Tail One Head, the headliner at John Dee and a truly indestructible live juggernaut. One Tail One Head was yet another Norwegian band (that made three on Saturday) to reach into their country's storied black metal playbook and knock it out of the park. Musically speaking, these bands aren't breaking any new ground, but their approach with reverence and ferocity is so pure and devastating, it's hard to ignore them. I think bands like Borknagar and Arcturus (I'll... yawn... get into that later) forget that black metal is rooted in punk, and it's punk's "don't give a fuck" attitude that is so important to keeping the music's spirit alive (it's the difference between Discharge and MXPX).
One Tail One Head was one of my favorite performances from the whole fest, and definitely my favorite of the day (Svarttjern & Throne of Katarsis were the day's other highlights). The lead vocalist swings and thrashes like Erik of Watain, with the band keeping that same stage energy and intensity. The guitar/bass/drums trio are impeccably tight, much more so than I would expect for a band with only a couple demos and EPs to their name. Awesome set. This band needs to play in the US and soon.
After that amazing set it was on to the final band of the night, Arcturus at Rockefeller main stage. I don't particularly dig on symphonic black metal and for the most part progessive can be a dirty word for me, so the Arcturus set definitely fell on deaf ears. Their set, peppered with oodles of pyro felt like a Jerry Bruckheimer production; explosions hide the fact that the storyline, dialogue and execution were all weak.
Overall, an excellent weekend and I feel lucky to have been able to catch such great talent on foriegn soil. Inferno 2013, here I come.

Inferno Festival 2012 -- night 2 pics & review (Church of Misery, Triptykon, 1349, The Konsortium & more)
BBG is back in Oslo, this time for Inferno. Here's what he's catching at the Norwegian metal festival...
by BBG
Church of Misery
It's late and I'm strolling down Karl Johan's Gate in Oslo, trying to snag a snack at one of the only late-night spots in the area, 7-11 (it's not only NYC that they've infiltrated). A young woman aggressively walks over to me and says something in Norwegian that I clearly don't understand, and like any ugly American I respond with an "excuse me?". The girl fires back with a "Hi, handsome" and asks if I like her with a very pointed look of intent... Like Whodini said, the freaks come out at night.
Night fell on day two of the Inferno Festival (day 1 review/pics HERE) and instead of being dispersed across many clubs in the city, the creatures of the night (in this case, the bullet belted and corpse-painted set) converged on a single area, connecting clubs Rockefeller & John Dee. The two clubs are interconnected with a third stage (Rockefeller Annex) serving as the all-important metal-merch area, housing all manner of silver rings, zillion-dollar Morbid Angel ultra-limited boxsets, and your basic assortment of metal patches. The mighty Neseblod Records (home of the black metal museum that I visited last time I was here) had also set up shop, selling wares from their jaw-droppingly extensive collection.
Bands were staggered across the two stages with the show opening at a whopping 5:45PM with an appearance by Corpus Mortale at John Dee. Due to prior obligations, I stumbled into the venue in time to catch Anaal Nathrakh, missing Trollfest, Undying Inc, and the previously mentioned festival day opener.
Anaal Nathrakh played the Rockefeller stage at 7:45PM and the band was noticeably missing Mick Kenney, one half of the mostly-studio project. Vocalist V.I.T.R.I.O.L. (Dave Hunt) commented that problems at the US border (UK-born Kinney now lives in the states) had kept Kinney from performing at Inferno Festival, but the band forged on and seemed no worse for the wear. The band dedicated "Submission is For The Weak" from Codex Necro to the US Border authorities.
Maybe it was the Integrity sticker on the bassist's instrument, but I think Anaal Nathrakh has a distinct hardcore feel live. Hunt jerks around and slithers on stage like a hardcore vocalist yet when the songs require clean singing, he executes them perfectly. Awesome set, with my personal highlight being the blistering "The Final Submission".
The Konsortium, a supergroup featuring shrouded members of Mayhem and Kvelertak (I do believe it was their lead vocalist), followed on John Dee. Wearing white masks, the band played their version of black metal/thrash to the room, with the lead vocalist toting a copy of the New Testament. While bibles on stage at a metal show are hardly a new thing, this copy clearly had lyrics written inside of it (just an observation, no judgement). The band didn't leave much of an impression, positive or negative, and felt more like black metal by committee, not consortium.
White corpse-paint followed the white-masked when 1349 played the next set at the big Rockefeller stage. The band was much tighter than my previous experiences with them and the crowd energy was high during their performance as well. While I have waivered regarding 1349, their showing at Rockefeller renewed my faith.
Considering the list of bands that preceeded Vesen, a black-metal thrash crew from Oslo, I was intrigued at where they sat in the lineup. While Vesen is hardly breaking any new territory, their thrash-attack was energetic and compelling live. Fun set from this Norwegian four-piece.
The stage at Rockefeller was curtained when I got in place for Triptykon but I could hear the vocals being checked over the PA:
"COOKIE! COOKIE! C is for COOKIE! COOKIES GOOD! COOKIES GEEEUHRRR..." said the voice in a Cookie Monster style growl.
There is no evidence that Tom Warrior was responsible for that Sesame Street impression, but I'd like to think that he was.
Then the curtains parted and Triptykon came on stage. The band performed pieces from their recent Eparistera Daimones in addition to classic Celtic Frost tracks like "Circle of The Tyrants" and "The Usurper" featuring Ravn of 1349 on vocals. The band was definitely tight and delivered an excellent set with thick and hearty guitar tones that sounded amazing on the ample Rockefeller PA (not that a single band was poorly mixed in that room... I just think Triptykon sounded the best).
I then headed to the basement to see a band that I have longed to see for years.... Church of Misery! Church of Misery do a perfect mix of classic, bluesy doom riffs with sludge and have the sickening vocals of Hideki Fukasawa over top of it all. Booming, jaw-dropping and laser-precise, there was a moment during their set that I was convinced that Church of Misery was the baddest motherfucking band on the planet. One thing is for sure, they rip.
If there ever was a band that would enforce my "OMG Church of Misery is the best band evar" theory, it would be Borknagar who was up next. The band practices in progressive, folk-y style metal with keyboards and black metal tendencies but with none of those, you know, memorable parts. Kind of a sour note to end the night on the big stage and overall, but at least I saw some incredible music today.

Day two of By:Larm (read about day one HERE) started out with a "black metal" tour of Oslo lead by Anders Odden who has played with everyone from Celtic Frost to Satyricon to Ministry and played in death metallers Cadaver. The tour, which was especially educational for those with limited knowledge of the genre, took us to Holmenkollen Chapel (which was famously burned down by Varg Vikernes, Faust & Euronymous), the site of Helvete (the store owned by Euronymous of Mayhem) which is now a coffee shop, and Neseblod Records, a sort of museum/record store located downtown.

Dropdead at Europa (more by Keith Marlowe)
Chaos in Tejas have announced another round of bands for their 2012 shindig (first round here), including rare appearances from legendary post-hardcore band Moss Icon (a one-time only reunion), as well as Japan's Reality Crisis and Skizophrenia (their only US dates), and repeat offenders/favorites like Dropdead, Municipal Waste, Midnight, Ares Kingdom, Puerto Rico Flowers, Xeno & Oaklander, Thou, the Rival Mob, Boston Strangler, Crazy Spirit, Brain Killer, Power Trip, Wiccans (who just played one of the final shows at Emo's), and many many others. A full list of additions and the new flyer is below.
Since the original announcement, two previously announced bands have dropped off the original lineup: Mexican black metal band Nyogthaeblisz disappeared from the lineup after their anti-Islamic/Semitic/Abrahamic stance and involvement in known NSBM (National Socialist) label Satanic Skinhead was pointed out by a few blogs. That led to Antisect and The Mob even threatening to not play. Word then spread that Disma's Craig Pillard released nazi-glorifying records under the name Sturmfuhrer. Disma then dropped out as well due to "the drama" that ensued. Craig would not comment on the matter, but other members of Disma say he has changed.
In related news, Thou will hit the road for a string of dates with The Body this week on the West Coast. Both bands will also be at the inaugural Gilead Media festival (chaired by the Gilead Media label) in Oshkosh, Wi on 4/28 and 4/29 which will feature appearances from (in alphabetical order) Arms Aloft, Aseethe, Ash Borer, Baby Boy, Darger + Plague Mother, False, Fell Voices, Get Rad, Hell, Loss, Mutilation Rites, Northless, Protestant, A Scanner Darkly, and Sleepwalker. More details are available at the site.

The Black Twilight Circle show @ Charleston updates lineup, Wolves in The Throne Room get good press, discuss Liturgy
by BBG
Kuxan Suum at Acheron (more by BBG)
Though previously listed with the same lineup as the show they just played at Acheron, this Friday's 9pm Black Twilight Circle show at The Charleston will feature an almost entirely different lineup with Raspberry Bulbs, Volahn, Arizmenda, Shataan, and The Haunting Presence. Black Twilight Circle also visit WFMU that day (10/7).
The show is also one of two upcoming shows for Raspberry Bulbs who will also join Villains, Occultation and Skull at Saint Vitus on 10/18 (tickets).
Speaking of black metal, the.... New Yorker wrote a piece:
The fertile and fractious U.S. scene in the genre known as black metal can be understood through a familiar moment in rock history. In the sixties, British bands like Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones mined American blues, first copying their heroes and then creating something vivid and novel. In the nineties, a range of American acts began drawing from the work of Norwegian metal bands that were famous mostly for a look and for several unpleasant events. The Norwegians were largely faithful to the "corpse paint" costume, in which the face is covered in white makeup, with black circles drawn around the eye sockets. Upside-down-cross pendants and spiked bracelets were common accessories. The tabloid-worthy events centered on a musician named Varg Vikernes, of the one-man band Burzum, who encouraged and participated in the burning of churches. In 1993, while playing bass in a band called Mayhem, he murdered the guitarist, a man known as Euronymous.The article goes on to talk about Wolves In the Throne Room's recent show at The Bell House.
Until recently, it was a legacy that the genre couldn't shake. But now American bands such as Liturgy, Krallice, Absu, Leviathan, Wolves in the Throne Room, and Inquisition have left a fair amount of the pageantry behind--not to mention the violence--and helped to create a community, as well as a musical moment that is rife with activity...
Wolves in the Throne Room, who premiered a track at NPR, have also since received 'Best New Music' from Pitchfork.
Speaking of Liturgy, The Quietus recently interviewed Aaron Weaver of Wolves in the Throne Room . They discussed, among other things, Liturgy and its place amongst the "black metal elite": Aaron Weaver says:
"Wolves in the Throne Room has absolutely received the same kind of criticism, because over the years I've said the exact same thing [as Hunter regarding black metal's ability to be positive and optimistic]. That's something that I believe very strongly. I think that maybe the difference is that I've always said that we don't play black metal. I refer to Wolves in the Throne Room as a black metal band just sort of out of convenience. But I've also been really clear over the years that I do think that true black metal, which is a worthwhile and very powerful thing, does need to be negative. It does need to be rooted in the darkest aspects of the human experience - bitterness, negativity, hatred, violence, tribal warfare, mass murder, these sort of things lurk in the human experience, and it's always been there. And true black metal channels that incredibly destructive and insane and violent energy."Read the whole thing HERE.
Liturgy's tour with Boris hits Irving Plaza later this month.

The number one question from last night?
"Who is this playing?"
It may be hard to believe that anyone would go to a show without knowing who was on stage, but that was the case last night at Acheron where four bands from the Black Twilight Circle collective played (Dolorvotre, Kallathon, Shataan, Kuxan Suum) in addition to local greats Mutilation Rites.
To clarify, Black Twilight Circle is West Coast collective of bands that all deal in the dark arts, namely the different faces of black metal. The crew rose to prominence with material by Volahn and Ashdautas, whose members spun off other bands in the following years. One of the most fascinating aspects is that the BTC have kept it in the family, with the number of bands in the stable topping the number of members in the collective; individual members rotate from instrument to instrument depending on the band. This was the case on Monday night. Volahn is the single constant.
The most compelling material of the night though was fronted by Volahn, the soft-spoken and omni-present center of BTC. His vocals were the focus of both the opener Kuxan Suum and the closer Dolorvotre, the latter of which yielded a two guitar attack and were the tightest and most impressive band of the crew. The remainder of the touring bill featured Volahn either on drums (Kallathon, who were plagued with technical difficulty) or on bass (as part of Shataan), with the latter kicking off their almost-garage influenced set with a flute and a demand for "utter silence for this ritual".
Sandwiched in between sets by Kuxan Suum/Shataan and Kallathon/Dolorvotre were the great Mutilation Rites, whose thrash-y black metal power was a welcome break from the overwhelmingly-primitive black metal that was the focus of the evening. Not to say that Mutilation Rites are some glossy metal machine; this Brooklyn band shows their crusty roots but makes sure to keep it tight and well-oiled. Mutilation Rites is definitely a band to watch.
Missed it? The Black Twilight Circle will descend on The Charleston on 10/7 with the awesome Raspberry Bulbs in tow. You can also catch them that day on WFMU. More pictures from Acheron last night are below...

"The most exciting music in American black metal today is being made by a collective of musicians who call themselves the Black Twilight Circle, and who combine for a dizzying array of line-ups under names like Arizmenda, Axeman, Kuxan Suum, the Haunting Presence, and Dolorvotre. Based in Los Angeles, the collective takes its inspiration from pre-hispanic cultures and, in solidarity with the Mexica movement, they reject terms like "latino" and "native American," and instead call themselves "Nican Tlaca," a Nahuatl phrase often translated to "we the people here," meant to refer to the indigenous population of the Western Hemisphere.Mysterious black metal crew The Black Twilight Circle will head to the East Coast for a rare set of dates that will (if everything works out) include THREE NYC stops. As you can see in the list of dates below, two are still "TBA", but one is 10/3 at Acheron. The Black Twilight Circle member bands on the Brooklyn bill are Kallathon, Dolorvotre, Kuxan Suum, and Shataan. Mutilation Rites also play that show. Stay tuned for more info on the other dates.
Black Twilight Circle's bloodthirsty music praises ritual sacrifice and the shamanistic exaltation of mind-altering drugs. The collective's vision of black metal combines traditional sounds and outré experiments, with Blue Hummingbird on the Left adding flutes and war drums to their instrumentation; others, like Arizmenda, churning out muscular, twisting 13-minute epics; and groups like Axeman hewing percussive BM anthems inflected with traces of '80s punk like GISM and Amebix. An intensely secretive group, the Circle's music appears in very limited editions, often on cassette; they favor off-the-beaten-path live performances..." [The Phoenix]
The BTC, which is primarily based on the West Coast, recently played a showcase at Chaos in Tejas. Click the link for pics and more about that.
Mutliation Rites played Death By Audio on Wednesday 9/14 as part of a pair of NYC dates for Wolves in The Throne Room & Thou. Pictures from the show are in this post (pictures from The Bell House are HERE). Thou returns in early October.
In related news, Wolves In The Throne Room spent Saturday night (9/17) at Strange Matter in Richmond, with support from Megaton Leviathan (who re-released their demo) and Richmond favorites Bastard Sapling. Richmond show-goers might have noticed that Bastard Sapling had a new item on their merch table, Dragged from our Restless Trance, a new collection of tunes on cassette.

Vreid at the first BV-BBG CMJ in 2008 (more by Leia Jospe)
It has been almost three years now since Norway's Vreid played their third ever US show at the first BV-BBG CMJ event back in 2008 (with Trap Them, Rival Schools and Made Out of Babies) at the old Knitting Factory (Norway's Shining played the same room hours later).
Now Vreid is returning and embarking on a North American tour TONIGHT that will see them headline dates with Kampfar & Necronomicon including this Sunday (8/28) at Europa in Brooklyn. Tickets are still available for the show that will also feature an appearance from Grafvolluth. All dates are listed below.
Montreal Mirror recently caught up with Vreid and asked how the recent tragedies in their home country affected them. Bassist Hváll said:
It affected us deeply. Our drummer worked in the government office that was destroyed, but thankfully, he was on vacation and wasn't at work that day. He didn't lose any of his closest coworkers, but it hit him personally as he worked with people who lost friends. He could hear the bang of the explosion from his house when it happened--his whole department was shattered to pieces. It was one of the most brutal things we've ever seen in Norway. This was a complete madman hell-bent on destruction. We all have children and when tragedy like this happens you just think about protecting your child. The slaughtering at the youth camp was one of the most savage things I think we've seen in modern history. If this could happen in Norway, it's proof it could happen anywhere.All tour dates, and some recent video of the band at Wacken 2011 is below.

a late & long night of black metal @ Europa in pics, video & review (Black Witchery, Proclamation, Abazagorath & more)
by BBG
Black Witchery
As the clock ticked towards 2AM on Monday night (8/8), a five band bill of raw and dissonant black metal was entering its seventh hour. Plagued by equipment issues and over-long sets, the blackened school night in Greenpoint featured an early-Tuesday morning appearance from Spain's Proclamation, along with support from Black Witchery, a reunited Abazagorath, Deceiveron, and Villains.
Early support was a mixed bag, ranging from tongue-in-cheek and fun, to horrid, and not in an "ugly black metal" sort of way. Brooklyn's Villains match over-the-top and revolting in on-stage banter, with seriously great blackened street-punk. Deceiveron followed Villains, and were probably the low point of the evening. Besides being out of tune for the duration of their stage time, their set was long and uninteresting. Due to equipment issues, Abazagorath (who was next) took close to 45 minutes to set up and were relegated to a 13 minute set. Despite that considerable setback, the reunited New Jersey band's thrashy black metal was engaging. Make sure you catch them on an upcoming go-around.
Black Witchery had the largest crowd of the evening, possibly due to the hour that the band hit the stage (around 12:30). The trio's blackened blasts of war metal incited pits while the band kept it interesting with an animated and costumed live show. Black Witchery's theatrical and anti-melodic black metal was my favorite performance of the evening.
The audience had thinned considerably for Spain's Proclamation, and though they they delivered an excellent set of Blasphemy-style war metal, their late set-time and much-more-energetic direct support of similar-influence made it hard to stay enthralled.
More pictures and video from Europa are below.

Falls of Rauros' set unfolded over a series of long, gorgeously-crafted atmospheric black metal compositions. Their sprawling odes to the wilderness and man's primal past recalled the power and delicacy of Drudkh and Agalloch, with a taste of Ulver's Kveldssanger and a hungry intensity all their own. Unfortunately they'd already sold out of CDs by the time they rolled through Brooklyn, but this Maine collective are working on new material for an upcoming release that will undoubtedly surpass even my high expectations. -[Kim Kelly earlier this year]I was similarly impressed with Falls of Rauros' set, which sat comfortably beside impressive sets from Lake of Blood and Seidr that bitterly cold night at Acheron.
There are a zillion bands that do the epic-black-metal thing, but most mistake "sprawling" for meandering, long-winded, and ultimately predictable. Thankfully, Falls of Rauros is not one of those bands and they've created the excellent The Light that Dwells in Rotten Wood for Bindrune Recordings. Out now, the LP features the requisite melancholia, light and shade, and ripping black metal riffs and though Falls of Rauros aren't forging any new paths, The Light that Dwells in Rotten Wood is a well-crafted piece of epic darkness. Stream the LP in full below.

We were for the first time in canazei in skiing vacation. In short: great winter sports regions, nice restaurants and restaurants, good shopping possibilities. Hotel: moderate and unfortunately not the previous announcements rough. we have a good kitchen. In the description says' demanding kitchen.' A (according to the map) geschwenkte sole fried in butter actually to be served must. Unfortunately it heard other main courses similar good. In reality, looked and tasted the whole unfortunately a little different. breakfast and salad buffet are against as good and fully in order to describe. to the rooms: size and cleanliness oK ..., however strong in the old side. The bathroom was functional, but a bit run down. we would have wished, that the bed sheets within of the stay also in between time would be changed. the room staff was against very friendly- could the management of the hotel time could learn a lot. A 'good morning' or ' good evening'or' did you stay we stayed gefallen' unfortunately from. the saunaor wellness area has been recently renovated and is very attractive to. in short: for the money unfortunately not all lived up to expectations. If you're looking for good and of high quality kitchen comfort is clearly in the wrong place. The hotel would be good, if rooms and bathrooms could be updated. read hotel review

Jasmine - headshot 1 by wildplacesWatch

A high voltage Jasmine smile . . .
As the other commentators already said, Jasmine's smile and sparkling eyes are just electric!!!
That's the kind of smile that would make a man feel ten feet tall, to recall an old phrase.
Thanks for sharing!

Thank you. . . She was such a radiant beautiful model. . . I would have loved to shoot with her again.
That smile is like lightning... In a good way though - it just has so much energy and electricity behind it.
And the fact that her eyes are smiling too makes the genuine aspect of this shot, and her obvious enjoyment of the process, very evident.
And the fact that her eyes are smiling too makes the genuine aspect of this shot, and her obvious enjoyment of the process, very evident.
Infectious smile she has
She sure has. I'm glad she gained the confidence to turn it on.
she is so adorable!
here goes my comment again..its realy beautiful..nice work again.realy realy beautiful.
Cute smile from a cute model.Nice work.loved it.
Thank you. She just radiates.
Beautiful smile. I like the way she is framed between her own hair and the sand stone(?) wall.
Good Job.
Good Job.
this is one hell of a smile..
Indeed. . . And this is a girl who usually doesn't smile for the camera because she's not confident about how her teeth look. . . So many girls are like that. . . I will always forgive a tooth being one degree off straight in exchange for a billion dollar smile.
i hate pretty girls who are not wanting to smile because of their lack of confidence...i mean, like i am ugly, so i don;t like being photographed.. but when a girl looks like her, and has her smile, then i get pissed
Welcome to the ugly club. I'm a founding member! . . . I know what you mean.
so i should be a vice or something
There's lots of competition for executive positions in the ugly club. . . I've been pushing for president for years. I reckon I must be getting close.
Gorgeous... it's beautiful portrait, Andy, very well captured and very sharp. She's lovely.
She certainly is. Thanks Juan.
What a find..she just lights up the scene
There are some lovely models around!
It's a very dynamic portrait; you caught just the right moment so that it's easy to tell she was not static but in the process of jollification.
I think she was laughing largely because she was precariously balanced; hanging on to a foothold with her toes.
What a smile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So this has been seeming to be a not good weekend. We all know I have chronic headaches that isn't a secret. Today I had to have my oldest bring me an ice pack before I could even get up. The pain between my shoulder blades and up the back of my neck is so bad I'm on the verge of vomiting. I would go to the ER but have no sitter. I took a muscle relaxer to hopefully relieve something and now I'm so tired I'm ready for b ed. I hate meds, I hate doctors, I hate pain, I have everything. There has got to be something someone can do to fix me or at least help the pain level. I don't want to be one of those people hooked on pain killers all their life that sit there and drool all spaced out. So far, nobody has been able to help me.

have you had an MRI or cat scan done??? I just ask because when you mentioned the pain in the back of your neck, I had that happen before and went to the ER and was found to have a tumor that was hemorrgahing an dI was in ICU for a week!
You also might think about seeing a chiropractor. I know that for the little bit of time I went, my migraines decreased by over 50% - and I have a very high pain tollerance.

I've had MRI's CAT scans, X-rays, Ultrasounds, facet joint injections, cervical epidurals, trigger point injections, PT. I can't afford chiropractics but my internists office just started massage therapy and however they do it it is covered by my insurance. So I have been doing that although it hasn't helped much. I have spurring of the C4-C5 vertebrae and degenerative disc disease of the C-spine so I don't hold out any hope that my pain will resolve anytime soon. I see my internist on Wednesday and I'm going to ask for different pain meds. They just don't seem to be doing much and I would rather take something different than increase the dose. It depresses me the amount of medications I pick up from the pharmacy monthly.

I was going to toss this 9 image HDR set out because I didn't think in was dramatic enough. This new process is great for weekends when I can't get out and shoot or images that needs a bit more.
Thank you for the feature. Love the other work there as well. I think i them all. LOL
Is that the one near the West Seattle bridge? I've been wanting to shoot down around there.
Wow, that's rather dramatic!
Love, seriously, I love how you manipulated it to seem as if it were glowing.
Love, seriously, I love how you manipulated it to seem as if it were glowing.
Thanks I love that effect too. I am just learning it so It will get better soon.
Nice work!
love the manip on this one
yes yes yes.that's it!!!!look at the numbers soar.i see you applied chopen style mixed with your own (with a few links) and bam.that's hot brugh.keep it up.
don't forget the rules of professional HDR,if you bend them a little and apply your own style,you will be amazed.
don't forget the rules of professional HDR,if you bend them a little and apply your own style,you will be amazed.
I have a book on HDR that I had not completed reading. I was looking at it while I was waiting to talk to someone about school today. Low and behold there is was, the same thing that Chopen was doing. So I am going to finish the book today and work on some more tonight while I cook dinner.
I am thinging of doing a series with these and my work to get me into school.
I am thinging of doing a series with these and my work to get me into school.
Really cool work there.
this is just beautiful. the 9 images are put together very well and it is very striking. good choice in keeping it!
Amazing work!
strange style but also nice
Not crazy about this one.. too unnatural looking for me. I dunno why grain needs elevators, anyway,, why can't it use the stairs like the rest of us .....
LOL because they need to go against the grain.
I have seen this place before, but I can't think of where I've seen it.
Use the GPS info and map it on yahoo or flickr. It is hard to say where it is but is on the way to Ballard.
It's really neat seeing your photography because I live only an hour away from the Seattle are and I'm up there quite often so I recognize it all as places I've been.
OOOOh lol
woo now this is something! firstly it's so scary! like from sfi movies and beside it's just like painting! wonderful btw what program did you use?
im loving the darks .. and trust me its dramatic enough ... nice job pal
Its a great shot.. the bottom of the picture looks clean and sharp and as you move up the image the color starts to look a little more animated and more dramatic. and when you get to the top its really animated. i live it it a lot its like HDR in all styles..
i have played with that tutorial but have not taken an image that i like. it doesn't come out that sharp. i will mess with it more when i get home. its harder to do on my laptop then my desk top.
To rock this style you are going to need a few things. Photomatix, Photoshop CS3, Nik Color Efex Pro 3.0 And the Nik Output Sharpener. I applied some layer stuff that I picked up from a book called "Welcome to Oz". I am going to do some heavy work tonight while I cook.I will also keep notes of the process and post with the image for you.
Got all that stuff but the Book.. cant wait to see the next shots.. passed Silo's all the way home tonight and i wanted to try to take a shot and give it a try.. but it was to dark..
Sorry I didn't get to work on a pix last night. I forgot I have jury duty this morning and the rest of the week. Holy crap on a cracker I am going to need a rest after this.

Claymore attack in Colombo targets SLA bus, 5 killed, 24 wounded[TamilNet, Wednesday, 02 January 2008, 04:11 GMT]
Two SLA soldiers and three civilians were killed, 10 SLA soldiers and 14 civilians were wounded Wednesday around 9:30 a.m. in Colombo's High Security nerve center at Slave Island, 200 meters from Sri Lanka Army headquarters and the Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) headquarters, where a Claymore mine was triggered targeting a bus carrying SLA soldiers, Police said. The attack comes a day after a leading Tamil parliamentarian of the opposition UNP, Thiyagarajah Maheswaran, was assassinated inside Ponnampala Va'neasvarar temple while attending New Year's prayers.
Two of the killed civilians were students of two leading boys schools. Three civilian vicitms were identified as Pathum Dissanayke, 14, of Ananda Vidiyalalya in Maradana, Manith Lasindu, 16, of Asoka Vidiyalaya in Maradana and Renuka Krisantha, 42, of Maradana.
One of the two SLA soldiers killed in the attack was identified as Jayantha Kumara from Passara, Badulla.
24 wounded, including 10 SLA soldiers, have been admitted at Colombo national hospital.
The Claymore attack has taken place in a high security area surrounded with military headquarters and police, near Colombo Fort. There are at least 7 checkposts in the location with business establishments and hotels with civilian traffic.
